RICHMOND, November 25. The Republican State Convention to-day adopted sa address to Congress. It sets forth shat the election in Virginia was a Confederate triumph, achieved by intimidation and fraud, Republican meetings being in some instances broken op by mobs that the true secret of the Republican defeat was tho submission to a sepa? rate vote of the test oath and disfranchising ?lauses, which had been inserted ia the constitu? te tn tne spirit of the reconstruction acts; that tao convention have the greatest conndence in the republicanism and statesmanship of the Pr?si? dant and a majority of Congress, bat that they wera deceived as to tho true state of affairs in Virginia-that the present Legislature is disloyal tad illegal, and even U it ratifies the Fifteenth amendment, will enact such educational and nronerta>?uallflcations as to entirely destroy the safluenoe of colored suffrage, and prevent colored voters from either holding ornee or sitting in the Jory box.

The proceedings of the Labor Convention this morning were cho",cterizea by the utmost dis? order. After a deal of filibustering, the real work of the convention was commenced to-night. A resolution was offered that the Legislature be petitioned to pass bills to appoint a commissioner in each county, whose duty it would be to super? vise contracts; to prohibit the postponement, from one term to another, of cases involving a suit to recover portions of the crops due for ser vicos; to reduce thc rent of lands to freedmen who have occupied them for four years; to with? hold aid to all railroads and to use the credit of the State to its full extent for the purchase of lands to be divided in small tracts for thc labor? ing men; to empower the Land Commissioner to lease small tracte cheaply, for ten years, to labor? ing men. After some discussion on the various questions presented to the convention, il was resolved to have a State labor society, with auxiliary socie? ties in each county ; the Executive Committee to reside in Colnmbia with power 40 call a conven? tion at any time; thc county societies to report to this committee every month. A member from each rcprcscnation spoke about ten minutes to-night,and gave doleful descriptions of their many grievances. Tney told in thrilling tones how they had boen terribly outraged by every one, and came to the unanimous conclu? sion that between Providence, the Ku-Klux and the Democrats, it was Impossible to make either srops or a fair living. It was the general opinion of thc convention that the on'y fair wages for the agricultural la? borer were either tw? dollars per day, twenty dollars per month and found, or half a crop. At this stage of the proceedings the discussion was closed, and thc convention stood adjourned until to-morrow. TUB LBeiSLATTJBB. In thc Senate, R. il.

A r?solution was introduced by Donaldson, "that while endorsing the report not to grant State aid to railroads, yet the report must not lie I considered os refus ing to grant aid to any rail? road when it may be consistent with the mainte? nance of the State credit.'' No action was taken upon this resolution.

The third house was not in session today. Several representatives were present, and anxiously looked for Speaker Hurley to call them to order; but appeared satisfied when informed that he was engaged ia writing, with all tue as? sistance he could get, his message. He arrived to-night, and lt ls thought that thc house wUl be in session to-morrow. As rumor hath lt, he will recommend in his message that the least said I about thc Covcrnor's message the better it will be . for the Governor; that a committee bc appointed to ascertain what will be the average pricoof j votes this session; another to ascertain what amount of money there will be among the mern- ' bcrs of his house, and auother to sec that the sup? ply of morphine among the members of oB three bodies be limited. Some of thc enemies of thft negro race most blatant demagogues of thc Radical odor ere crying aloud for a law to regulate thc price of labor; u law that shall lix a scale of high min* lmum prices. This law, they tell the negro la? borer, will compel the white man to pay him more for his vor?; tuan I15 now ccts. The ne? groes are ready to shout for such a?orio-.is law, and to vof? for it. When tue law shall come into operation, the land owner finds himself unable to hlro work nt so high 2 price, aud Cit! deluded negro finiis himself out o' work, out of food and out of friends.

Then Cochran said, these colored men how much they ought to in money." H?ge evaded thc question, and Untied his speech, which was iufiarama Cochran left thc courthouse soon after and to thc hotel.

Suggestions Antici? pated-Prae: ical View? of the Subject iron a Scientific Source. In i bo recently puUisbed volume entitled '.Renourcea of me sondern nelda an<i Paresis," the ai'thor, l.?r. P. Pcvre Porcher, alluding tu a mat5er or .-orne Interest at this time, remarks: There Isa subject, however, which de writer has been long reflecting upon, and which he consid? ers one of supreme importance, walther we re? gard thc Improvement uf our cultivated crops, or dc fields and forests of the country. If suc? cessfully carried ont, it will reclaim und render tit for tillage vast bodies of lands now lying idle, aud greatly improve their sanitary condition, lt will also make white labor available during the whole year, aud greatly stimula.e immigration. I refer to the drainage of the marshes and swamp lands, particularly those near thc cities and along the river courses. This, save in par? ticular instances, cannot now bc done by the separate and isolated efforts of planters and farmers, but should bc accomplished as a public work by the State. Operations could be com? menced on the inland swampB, each of which presents an independent probicm to the civil en? gineer. Along our coasts, at a distance of forty miles from the sea, there ls a rise of about twenty feet above thc general tide level, giving a fall of haifa foot to ; lie mile, which issuillcleut. tu my own experience, these arc capable of thorough and perfect drainage. Thc Engineer Ullis, in his statistics of South ('Hroiiua, published in istW, has presented an elaborate scheme of this kind, by which it was proposed that the Slate should purchase so many slaves, and when the swamps were drained, the .ands so Improved and increased in value chould be sold to Ltie farmers and planters. Enterprises of a similar nature, on au extensive scale, have long since, ns U generally known, been successfully prosecuted in Holland and in Bel? gium. The simplest, plans for draining the secondary or Inland swamps, is torin a straight central canal, which removes thc obstructions caused by logs and mud Hats, and takes on* thc main body of water. A canal or drain ls also cut on e.ich side to receive the water oomlug In from the surrounding high lands. Thc underground system with tile-, generally practiced lu England and on the Continent, is only applicable in this country to a limited extent at present. The lands throughout a large portion of the South are quite rich enough for every purpose, and we need not go to the West or elsewhere in quest of better soil. Since emancipation, Immi? grants from Europe may bc employed in these public works now proposed. The cutting down thc trees and exposing the surface to thc almost constant action uf thc sun, will subject it to thc Important agency of evaporation; thc removal of the causes of malaria v.

On Sunday afternoon the Spanish steam cor? vette Pizarro mysteriously arrived at this port, dropped a ichor nd the battery, lowered thc com? mander's ilg. in which was quickly scated a semi-miliLi ry-appearing middle-aged gentleman, armed willi a portable black bog. a paletot, an umbrella, and wearing a slouched hat; who, with a few vigorous stroke-; of the oars, was soon en? abled to spring lightly upon terrafirma and dis? appear in thc crowd ami bustle ol metropolitan life. Thc circumstance attracted but little atten? tion; Indeed, it was barely noticed by a few of thc heterog?neo us mass of humanity which loiters 0:1 Ute nattery on Sunda* and other holidays. But, like Kl CroniHta'8 d?claration of war, it meant more than was apparent, uud both seemingly iu slgiuiii.aui ucts wore parts of a great whole.'

On thc contrary, recog? nizing tue popular opposition in tins country to placing HO great power as a norfect fleet in thc possession of thc enemies of Cuba io crush out the patriotic aenUmenl of that people, both tho Sec? retary of the Navy and the Attorney-General took immediate ?.<:> lou ti. prevent a surrender of Hie vessels, and yesterday thc proper officers in dis cuy received Instructions by telegraph to govern their actions. TUE GUNBOATS JO (50 INTI) COURT. In a-rcordance with these instrucUons, Judge Pierrepoint, United State?

These gunboats were seized bj the government ..arly in the summer, when yet in an incomplete state, atol have since been nominally held by the Navy Department, though by an arrangement v.'?h their builders work has been continued upon them witiiout interruption, ami they are now ready for their crews and armament. They have all beeu assembled at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and are held bj the commandant of that yard. Admiral Codon, the commandant, yesterday re? ceived instructions to surrender the gunboats to thc Marshal on the production of the necessary legal papers, with which he will be armed thai morning. Thus the case will be formally taken out of the hands of the Covernnient, and the responsibility for the retention and condemnation of the fleet, or Hs surrender to the proper repre? sentatives or Spain, wilt rest with the courts and thc law. A NEW FEATURE Ol' INTERNATIONAL LAW. The form of thc libels prepared bv Judge Pierre ?oint will present a new and interesting phase of nternatlonal law to tim courts. The neutrality laws usually recognize only "foreign princes or States," and only recognized nations and gov? ernments have been supposed to have a legal sta? tus that can be allowed by the courts. Hut our statutes have been amended by the interpretation of the words, "or of any colony, district or peo? ple," after the words, "foreign prince or State," as the parties toward whom, when we are at peace, a strict neutrality shall be observed. The phrasing of the second altldavlt brings up for the lirst time the question whether thc Cubans are a ltcofiie within the meaning of the statutes. It will be seen that If this point shall be determined affirmatively, lt will render the necessity of recog? nition by our government of the young Rehuidle of Cuba less imperative.

The facts of the case are as follows: On Tuesday night last I heard upon the streets that Archer had treated my wife with great rudeness, ami being in tho neighborhood 1 went to lils door, without entering, to demand an explanation. Archer armed himself with a pistol and came out,in Hie street at my call. I then stated to b?in what l had heard, and asked him togo with tue to a private place In order to have an explanation, assuring him that I was unarmed. This he refused to do and l then left, thinking thal his cowardice would not warrant tue in cliastis' ing him. While in a grocery store opposite attend? ing to seme business, Archer rame up with a po? liceman and ordered my arrest. I' went to the Guardhouse, and the officer who searched mc will testify that no weapons were found on my per? son. This, however, did not satisfy this tremb? ling fellow, and upon his affidavit 1 was bound over to kei.p thc peace. These fuels I am j.repar cd to substantiate by competent Witnesses. I never, for one moment, entertained an idea of killing Archer; my only intention was-had I found him to be a man of any courage-to make him apologize or castigate him for hts insolence lo my wife, rinding that, he lacked this attrib? ute, 1 :-ft him with thu luton Mon or treating him witii the contempt which he deserved.

In this country we have, at different seasons of Hie year, the temperature or three ollmstes. Our springs and autumns have a softness and mild? ness that belong only to the Temperate Zones; our mid-summers arc torrid, and our mid-winters almost arctic in their frigidity. These ohanges,. involving a variation or from ninoty to one hun? dred degrees or Fahrenheit during thc year, are, npon thc whole, conducive to health and long life, but they tend to entail upon us some distressing complaints which can only be escaped by tho ex? ercise of due care and the use of a proper anti? dote when the .system is predisposed to conn act them. Thc chief and most annoying of these dis? orders ls dyspepsia, once supposed to bo incura? ble, but which, since the introduction of H?STET TEirs STOMACH BITTERS, uow about twenty years ago, bas proved to bc a perfectly managea? ble disease. In thc spring and fall, but more especially la thc fall, Hie symtoms of dyspepsia aro generally aggravated. The profuse expenditure of tho ani? mal fluids under thc burning sun of summer, is apt to leave thc stomach weak and indolent and incompetent to the task of perfect digestion. It requires a tonic which will rouse it from its leth? argy and brace and invigorate without Irritating or inflaming lt. This tonic has been provided In tito wonderful vegetable preparation which has replaced in a great measure, all the old palliatives formerly prescribed by physiolans, under the false idea that the disorder could not be radically cured. The success o? HOSTETTER'S BITTERS in all thc varieties of dyspepsia, acute or chronic, has etrcctually exploded this fallacy, and it ls now recommended ns a specific for indication by some of tlic most eminent members of the medical profession. _".i^"*!
