S. P. CHASE, Chief Justice of the United States. A letter has been received from Mr. Davis dated London, August 20. Chinese Minister Browne informs tho State Department that the Chinese Go? vernment has granted no concession to any company, or individual for inland telegraph.. The Cnbans here have advices to the 20th, stating that a reconnoitering force from Puerto Principe was defeated, and Puerto Principe abandoned. Yalmaseda attacked the Cubans under Qnoseda, near Los Tunos. , The Spaniards were repulsed with* heavy loss, nfter four hours' fighting. The Cubans loss was 100. Yalmaseda sought refuge under bis for? tifications, where Quesada, being with? out artillery, was unable to attack bim. A fight is reported in Puerto Le Grande, in which a Spanish force of over 700 was defeated. It is stated that after the first fire the troops deserted en masse to tho Cubans, when the officers were captured and paroled by Jordan. .Domestic News. NEW YORK, September 8.-A private despatch to E. L. Cronista, says that C?spedes and Quesada, with G,C00 mon, were repulsed from Los Tunos, with the loss of 500 men, many arms and a flag. PHILADELPHIA, September 8.-A special despatch to the Evening Telegram says the Avondall mine has been opened and all the miners are dead. It appears that the efforts to save the miners caused their death. The volume of air sent for ven? tilation carried fumes from the burning abaft into the mine. Nothing is now being done except throwing water down the shaft, which causes a damp blue vapor to arise, rendering the approach to the mouth of the mine very dangerous. One hundred and three of the bodies have been brought up from the mine. James Snyder, who killled the master mason at Fairmount, committed suicide in Moyamensing prison, by holding his head in a buoket of water. ALLENTOWN, PA., .

The stockholders of the Riohmond and York River Railroad resolved, to? day, ip extend their road-twenty-one miles-to Chesapeake Bay, thus short? ening, by seven honra time, the distance between Riehmond, Baltimore and Phi? ladelphia.

JOHNSTON.-As bas been announced through tho public prints, this eminent citizen has recently been a visitor to this State, having so I journed for several days at Tracy City, at University place, (tho seat of tho Episcopal University of the South,) and in Warren County, the guest of Gen. B J. Hill, formerly Provost Marahal-Geno ral of tho Confederate arn.y of the South-west whilo nude, his co: armand It was greatly desired that he should ex tend his visit to tho capital, but tho na? ture of his engagements forbade, and bo has returned to his homo. We wero informed, ca yesterday, thai during Iiis stay iu tho mountains Gen. Johnston was approached on tho subject of becoming a citizen of Tennessee, and that an iuformul teador v/r.s nmde to him of tho presidency of thc University of Nashville; cr at least that tho matter was presented for his consideration. We but speak tho sentiment of the citizens of Nashville in saying that, under the presidency of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, tho University would immedi? ately tal-o rank with the first institutions of learning in the South; nay, outrank them all; and in time would secure a pa? tronage which would enable it to com? pete with the older institutions of the Eastern States. [Nashville Union, lat instant. We protest. Gen. Johnston is too good a citizen for Savannah to spare him. He has a lucrative position hero, we believe bo is contented with his new homo, and we hope be will allow no one to sed nco him to leavo it. [Savanna]* Republican. During tho vecont court at Blackville, now the County se it of Barnwell, an old lady, wc aro told, was brought forward as a witness, and when asked to take oiT ber bonnet, obstinately refused to do so, say? ing "There is no law to compel a woman to take off her bounot." "Oh!" imprudently replied the Judge, 'you know tho law, do you; perhaps you would like to como up here, and teaoh me?" "No I thank you sir," said the woman, tartly, "there aro old women enough on the bench now." The judge wilted, and the old lady was sworn.-Edgefield Advertiser. We are afraid Mr. Charles Dickens is either so unacquainted with the geo? graphy of this country as to suppose that Harvard University is within the bounds of the late C. S. A., or else was the least bit satirical in hie speech at the banquet given the contestants in the late great boat race, on Tuesday night at the Crystal Palace. Referring fco the Har? vard boys, he is reported to have de? clared that "nothing is more remarkable in these descendants of our forefathers than the invincible determination with whioh some of them fonght against odds in the late war, and the dauntless spirit with whioh they sustained d. feat. " The New York World says: "General Meade did not go to Geary's gubernato? rial and Bachelder's bucolic book game at Gettysburg. On tho contrary, at that moment he was toasting Geary s succes? sor with the sentiment: 'Our host, the Hon. Asa Packer-may his success in the past be eclipsed by his success in the fu? ture.' The General remembers that Geary was particeps criminis of Hickies' insubordination, which nearly cost tho Federals the fight, and did cost them thousands of needless lost lives at Get? tysburg." A child in Pennsylvania blew ont his cheeks while trying to eat a torpedo. ' i v w Ul i-v?yj J JlSwiJ ?TliyllLJ A D-*t???4? BMMH? . J*k * Wood and Cipt?w?lsfltr Fir? X??r". *Tt Ike B?rry, a r?fflan in prison in Peo? ria, IH., han been "in ter vio wed" by the Peoria Transcript, with the following re? sult; Ho Bays that when he heard that Pratt ht^d boon killod, aud that ho was considered responsible for it, he took to the woods. There - he remained rive days, without ' anything to eat except a few blnckborries. Ho was constantly obliged to shift his position while in Hawley's Grove, in order to avoid being captured. ' The woodB were surrounded by armed men nil this time, and several times men came within a few feet of where ho was concealed. Once or twice he was on the point of giving himself up, and suffering the death he knew awaited him. His pants wera worn into strings, and at the end of the five days, when he was enabled to break through tho circle that snrrounded him and es? cape from the grove, he went to the house of a relative and procured another pair. Ho said that he would willingly have given himself up if he could have been assured that he would have beon allowed a fair trial. He would have made his way to this city, ?nd have given himself np to th? authorities hero, if he couldbave sao'coedcd in crossing tho river. Tl io first night he was in Haw? ley's Grove he heard the barking of a bloodhound, which he Bays hod been put upon his track. He climbed trees, and went from one to another iu at? tempting to mislead the. beast,'.aud.was successful. We asked him-if be-was not nearly overcome with fear at times, but he said he was not. He wns unoomforl able from the exposure, the wearing ant of his pants, and--th? want of proper food, but he felt little or no fear. He seems to be a firm fatalist, and paid that he felt that if he was boru to be shot, ho would not be hnng, and vice versa, and that it was incumbent upon him to watch his chances, and take as good caro of himself as he could; but if he was to die, it was only a momentary pang, and that was the end of it. He was shot at three or four times while ho was io the woods. Once a rifle or pistol-ball struck a treo just above his head, grazing his hat, and making him think for a moment that ho had been born to bo shot. After each shot was fired nt him he changed his position so rapidly that his pursuers lost his track. He says they were all around him, mak? ing it necessary for him to exercise con? stant vigilance, and keep himself awake continually. Ho had thus tho added pain of loss of sleep to contend with. DEATH OF REV. DB. ROUENT J. BOYD. This eminent minister of the Methodist j Episcopal Church, South, died at Ma rion Court House, on Friday, thc 3d in- j stunt, and was buried on Sunday. Dr. Boyd had always enjoyed uniform good health, until about two years ago ho had ! a stroke of paralysis, from which, how? ever, he seemed in a great measure to have recovered, until about a month ago there appeared decided evidences of ra? pidly failing health, which terminated his life suddenly on Friday last. Dr. Boyd, ? if we mistake not, was about sixty-three years of age. He com? menced life as a physician, but iu early manhood changed his profession for that of the ministry, to which ho gave him? self unreservedly. During the thirty years of his ministerial labors, ho served churches iu nlmost every part of tho State, and in many of tho Southern Counties of North Carolina, and left the sweet odor of his good name around the hearths of thousands and tens of thou? sands of Christian households. Dr. Boyd for many years wielded a large influence in tho councils of his j church, and repeatedly filled the office of presiding elder and delegate to tho General Conference. Ho was noted for i the general soundness ot his judgment, I which, conpled with tho nioet amiable temper and a largo hearted generosity, caused him to bo often nailed upon us1 an arbiter. He united in au eminent i degrc. thc dignity and parity of the minister with tho character and integrity of a Carolina gentleman. We could say ranch more of him, but abler pent and loving hearts will iu due time pen a suitable tribute to tho memory of this good nnd holy n.^n. Dr. Boyd leaves a sorrowing family to lament their irreparable loss. [Charleston Hexes. FOLLT OF THE IuAND COMMISSION IN A NcT-snrxi..-Wo do not deny that it is a good thing for the landless to become la nd-owners, if they, by honest toil, ac? quire the means to do so, as they can; but we do deny that any good can come of a State government lending its credit for the purpose of creating land-owners ont of land-laborers, than for the par Eoso of creating house-owners ont of ouse-tenants, or ship-owners out of sailors, or store-owners ont of clerks, or hotel-owners ont of cooks, waiters, cham? ber maids and boot-blacks. It is no bu? siness at all for Government, but will re? gulate itself, if let alone. At present, too, the experiment simply produces false hopes and dissatisfaction, and will lesson tho ac lu al production of the State next year, by its baneful influence, several millions of dollars. It is a mischievous meddling and an impertinent interfer? ence-a job, and nn expensive one. f Winnsboro Neics. FELONS ON THE FINGER.-Many per? sons are liable to extreme suffering from felons on the finger. These afflictions are not only very painful, but not unfre qnently occasion permanent crippling of the member affected. The following simple conoootion is recommended ai a sure cure for the distressing ailment: Take common rock salt, snob as is used for salting down pork and beef, dry it in an oven, then pound it fine and mix it with spirits of turpentine in equal parts. Pat it on a rag; wrap it around the thumb, and as it gets dry, pot on Rome more, and in twenty-four hours, wo are assured, the felon will be dead. ?old, fr valaahle- tracf of laud, iu this County, yesterday, contain in g 1,000 acres, more ot'Y??aVt?
