In no one district where a rising has been made. hive tho Spaniards7 been abie to restore order, although the great advantages of a powerful army and navy, Abundant resources, enthusiastic volun? teers and an organized government on their side have beeb opposed only by a few ill-armed country bands, without or? ganisation or government, or arsenals or ships, or resources of any kind other than those provided, by the moat deter? mined spirit, of resistance. The rainy season bas now commenced, .when the roads of the country -are converted into deep sloughs, and transit is almost im- ! possible. Wo may, therefore, look for little change in the relative military posi? tions of the parties. The diplomatic and argumentative., campaign, however, is just opening, and from the develop? ments- in pubuc opinion and political purposes which are beginning to appear in this country, in Coba, and in Spain, wo shall not be surprised to see a remark? able change of front in the Coban ques? tion before the next campaign opens in that island. TBS THIEVES AND BOOXTSTDHSXA.-Ap- ! plication was made yesterday to the War j and Treasury Departments by two United States Se&atocs from 'Southern] Siatet, for the recovery of certain valu? ables-silver platea, spoons, etc.-for? merly belonging to the families bf these Senators, and supposed to, be among the valuables captured by Sherman's army in its "march to the sea." The boxes containing these j valuables .had been sent to the Treasury Department by the War Department for safe keep? ing, and are in the cus tu dy or General Spinner, United States Treasurer. One of these boxes was opened yesterday, and to-day soother,' and thoroughly exa? mined-1-the oontents found- to be| watches, diamonds, silver-plate, laces, etc., very valuable. The4 only article found belonging to the Senators men tioned, was one silver spoon, having thereon the initials of one of these gen? tlemen. The representatives of the de-1 partments are in a quandary as to the disposition to be ? made of this property, but it is suggested that it can ba dis? posed of as captured and abandoned property. [Data, in Baltimore Sun, 20(ft ult. O'" - WHAT IS A FAM?I?Y?-On Monday last, Dr. J. H. Cooke, Ordinary of Coweta County, had before him an application for homestead under the constitution and laws of Georgia, from Colonel Joe Culboun, a bachelor, aged sixty years. Col. Calhoun's creditors filed objection to the passage on order by the Ordinary assigning homestead in this case, on the ground, that the applicant was not the "bead of a family," in a legal sense. It was admitted, that, he had neither wife nor children, .but had servants in his employment, and his counsel contended that this fact constituted him the "head of aTrsmily." The Ordinary sustained the objections, and the applicant ap? pealed to the Superior Court. [Neuman Herald. -o Minister Burlingame rebuked the foreigners who thought they "out? ranked" him in Paris, in the following style: "We Americans do not raise the question of rank. We receive all gen? tlemen as occupying a common level. But if yon raise tho question of posi? tion, we outrank you. You are nothing but Dukes, Marquises and Counts. We belong to the royal family?? We are the equal of our president. We are all heir apparents to the throne. We stand np for our order, and? if need be, we fight for our order." As far as wo can see, the Treasury of? ficers made very little, either pecuniarily or otherwise, ont of their presentation of an old b!U for ten dollars and a half against General Beauregard. Bat the Government would bave a considerably better balance lu its petty cash account if all the officers who went into the re? bellion would show as olean hands as the punctilious little Creole whose book? keeping has brought our accounting clerks to grief.-New York Tribuns.

If the party,bsd done their duty in the country, the nominees would j surely have been elected. .There seems to haye been culpable carelessness somo-1 where. Either there is no heed taken of the great interests at stake, or it may be I supreme indifference as to voting. Let me advise all good men and true to lay .side this careless and wanton itnbecih ty-to be np and doing-for you have a ounning snd well-organized enemy to defeat. Be up and at work, if you have any regard for the welfare of your State, County or city. A very few more votes of the right stripe wonld have carried the eleotion for township officers; that few, strange to say, were either too in? dolent to go to the polls, or too careless of their own and others interest in the great question of the day. What can a live Democrat think of the man who is so lost to the best interest and welfare of his kind, by suoh acts of contemptible negligence. Oh, be ready and steadfast; letting no opportunity,slip, however in? significant it may appear, and recording every vote that is calculated td destroy this most unnatural and monstrous league of the radical party, and to re? tain in all its purity the social, moral and political standing of the white race. . FELIX . b- . On Saturday last, a white mau was ! found in the woods, on the premises of ?lohn Vance, Esq., four miles from | Strawberry Plains, Tenn., hanging by a l j leather B tr ap from a cavalry saddle, to a small pine limb which stood up some j I four feet from the body of a fallen tree. ' His feet were resting on the ground, and his hands on the body of the log. He bsd evidently been dead a day or more. On his shirt, under the arm-pit, was marked "R. Q. M. Dunivant, No. 2 1860." The man was a perfect stranger in the community. Suit has again been bronght in the Second District Court of Louisiana in behalf of numerous petitioners recon-1 testing the validity of the title of Mrs. Myra Clarke Gaines to large properties in this city and State held by petitioners I and claimed by Mrs. Gaines. The peti? tioners ask a revocation of the deoree of probate ol the pretended will of Daniel Clarke, of Joly 18, 1813. Ie? is now manufactured in New Or? leans so abundantly that it can be afford? ed to families all over the city at one I eent per pound, and to large con Rumers j at three-quarters of a cent.

A Mr. Ewing, a lawyer of that place, in arguing against a new trial in a bastardy case, used language that was distasteful to the Judge, whereupon tho latter assaulted the former, inflicting dangerous if not fatal injury. The 1 Judge, Bonner by name, was arrested, and is now in jail awaiting the result of Ewing's injuries. There is a constant, though not Very large, stream of wealthy Cubans coming to this country, on account of the revo? lutionary troubles, and, on the same ac? count, there is a oonstant efflux of Spa? nish families from the island baok to old Spain. The Cubans are afraid of the present vengeance of the Spaniards, aud the Spaniards are afraid of the future vengeance of the Cubans. The President hos issued an order placing the Georgia Agricultural Society in possession of the building ereoted at Macon, Ga., by the Confederate Govern? ment as an arsenal, and now in posses? sion of the Freedmen's Bureau, for building a State Agricultural Exposition next summer. The Horry (S. C.) JWIC? says: ??A cor? respondent writing us an account of a trip to Wilmington by way of private conveyance, says that he stayed one night at the house of a gentleman, whose wife, only forty-two years of age, had her twenty-second child in her arms." FIRES -Mr. J. R. Hinton, at Cosh's Depot, had his house and nearly every artiolo he possessed destroyed by fire during the gale of lost Saturday week. Mrs. Crossland's gin house at Bennetts ville was burnt down on the day before by some incendiary. The ship Margaret and the bark Zeli tus were wrecked off Anticosti Island on the 16th ultimo, and thirty-two of the crews were lost, only one mau being saved. An Alabama ruralist complains that he sent four dollars to a jewelry firm in New York for a music-box playing twenty-four tunes, and received in re? turn a jews-harp.

To this, tVir. J- replied he would gladly do so, and urged Mr. Brown to come for it immediately; and closed by assuring him of his gratitude that he had spared his family tho humiliation of a public dis- ; closure. Mr. Brown, therefore, left his home : on horseback for Wayne Countv, and, | upon reachiug tba residence of Mr. J-, | be was kindly received and sumptuously i entertained. The money was paid over to him, and ho was prevailed on to spend j several days with the family aud enjoy ! the sports of the country. After a very pleasant sojourn of a week, he started i for his home in South Carolina, with the ; best wishes of his host aud family that he might have a safe journey, and re? turn to enjoy their hospitalities. Several weeks after his departure letters were re ceiv?d from Mr. Brown's family, making j inquiry for him, aud stating that he had not returned to his home. Search and i inquiry, however, proved fruitless. Mr. i Brown never returned. Mr. J-, who had sold the free negro, never appeared j at his ease afterwards; bnt it was thought ? to be owing to the unuccouutable and j mysterious disappearance ox Mr. Brown, ? who had been his guest., . Years afterwards, and not long ago, Mr. J-, on his death-bed, urged his fondly and friends not to bury him iu the family grave-yard. He was very vehe- j ment in this request, but it was presumed j to be but a vagary of his diseased brain, ? and his dying wishes were, therefore, dis- ' regarded. His remains were carried to j the family burying ground, and the ! grave-digger commenced his work; but, I when he had reached a certain depth, his spade struck a solid object-obstruc? tions which, upon their removal, proved to be the skeletons of a mau and horse, with the irons of a saddle; the iron but? tons, too, upon the skeleton were found to be the same that Mr. Brown had worn. Thus, even at the grave, before the olod8 of the valley had shut him out for? ever from the light of day, surrounded by those who had met to do honor to his memory, without judge or jury, these si? lent witnesses, his own dread of the spot, the ghastly skeleton; with grinning teeth and sightless ey??, tba buttons, the sad? dle irons, pronounced him, to the judg? ment of all present, a heartless, fiendish murderer. There was no appeal from this decision. Of a truth, ' 'murder will out!"- W?desbo-'j Argus. A strange and romantic affair occurred at the time of the Chicotnoir crevasse, iu Louisiana, lost week. A young lady had engaged herself to pne gentleman, a Mr. J. B.D., and subsequently fell in love with another, a Captain L., and engaged herself to him also. Her parents forced her away from the city, aud compelled her to marry the ?rst lover. Before the ceremony was concluded, the inundation from the crevasse occured, and shook the house so that everything was thrown into panic and confusion. During the con? fusion, the second lover, the gallant Cap? tain, appeared, and carried off the bride, and went with her to a house, where he was also married-for the ceremony was again interrupted by the first bridal party, which had pursued-and, as each bridgegroom claims the bride, the ques? tion is to be decided in the courts. All this would ?eena unnatural in a novel, but it is nevertheless a veritable occur? rence. BAJTJT WITH Nrrs.-Many persons suffer acute pain after eating freely of nuts, es? pecially those that contain most oil. All nuts are difficult to digest, and much dis? tress dvspeptics when they are eaton, as they often arc, late at night. It is said they may be mode digestible, and the flavor improved at the same time, by sprinkling salt on them, or by touching the tips into salt, as we do radishes. Dr. Abernethy records a case of death that occurred in England from eating freely of nuts, which, he said, would have been prevented if the person had eaten salt with the nuts, or had taken freely of it after distress had occurred from eating them. -o Sl<AIiIi-PoX VD S CABLET FEVEB-AN IxFAi^iiMiE REMEDY FOB BOTH.-A cor? respondent of the Stockton (Cal. ' Herald \ gives the following os a certain remedy for these terrible diseases: Sulphate zinc, one grain; foxglove (digitalis,) one grain; half a tea spoon-ful of sugar, mix with two tea spoons-fnl of water. When thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of water, Take A tea spoonful every hour. Either disease will disappear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller doses accord' ing to age. If Counties would compel their physicians to use this, there would be no need of pest houses. If you value adrico and experience, use this for fhst terrible disease. -1--o Every Bourbon dynasty has ?one un? der in Europe, but the bourbon dynas? ty in America never flourished 00 wall as-, now.
