Trouble Between the Haitians and
the French-Tho French Ad
mlral Kcfuses to Ilocog
nlze the JUotkade.
By the snivel at New York yesterday of the
rig Oliver Cults, direct from Port-au-Prince, in
fourteen days, wo hitve Ilajtlnu advices to the
17th ot January. The news n important.
Torre vat a prospect of serious trouble be
tween the French and the Haytiau Govern
Bunts. The dr.ound of ttie French Almirat
that Victorlno Chevalier, the (iovernor of the
town of Gonatvc, should make an ample
apology for insults to iTiich s ibjecis at tliat
place, had not been sitiis-fuciorilv responded to.
Walters bad oecoiue fuither complicated tbrough
the all Undo assumed by the Adimr-tl mchitlve to
the blockade of the rebel lluvtidu fort. It
appears that recently that fuuttvinitry paid a
Visit tn bin flnn-shlp to St. Mure, which is held
by the Insurgents unoer Nixsuee Suget, and is
the teat of ' the reoel Government. While
his ship was ljing there two French, merchant
Testels attempted to rnler the port, but were
prevented doing so by the presence off the port
of the Uaytiau war steamer H.ilnave. Upon
being inlormed of this the A -i n mil immedi
ately got up steam, left St. AJarc late in the
evening, an I the next morning returned to at.
Marc, havlrg the two vcsecls hi tow. He had
positively refused to recognize the blockade,
contending that It was not etlectlve, and there
fore, accordiog to the terms ot the treaty of
Paris, not blndinc It was believed at Port a u
Prince that the French were acting in concert
witn the insurgents. Wuile he w;i9 at St.
Marc a le Deum was celebrated on board his
ship, at which Saget find All hie Ministers were
present, as well as the officers of the ilritish
Man-of-war Niobe, then in that port. In lact, it
. wis rrported at Port-au-Prince that the Admiral
had recognized the rebels as belligerents and
that it was his Intention to insist upon French
merchant vessels being allowed free Ingress and
egress at alt ports held by the insurgents. It
was further reported that the rebel authorities
)ud pledued to the Admiral a portion of all
their coffee Ehlpped in Freuch vessels towards
the liquidation of the debt owing to France by
Bayti. Meantime Salnuve hud published iu the
JUoniteur the despatch of Secretary Seward
refusing the protection of the American Gov
ernment to any American vessel which should
attempt to enter Haytinn ports in violation of
the blockade. The Montteur eulogizes Mr.
Seward's despatch as conformable with right
and justice, and maintains that the Uaytiau
iiavaf forces, conveniently distributed alone the
Whole extent of the coast, and con-tantly in
movement, are keeping up an effective blockade.
The French Admiral, accompanied by the
liiobe, had returned to Port-au-Prince from St.
11 arc, and the officers of both vessels ha I
expres'ed themselves as dciigntcd with the
reception thev met with at the latter place.
Secretary Seward hud written the United
States Minister at Port-au-Prince, asking expla
nations ot the uncontradicted statement that on
two occasions Haytian vessels b'td gone into
action flying the American flag the br3t being
that ot the attack upon the renel war vessels
at Petit Goane, which was destroyed by the
Potion, and the second the bombardment of the
town of Jeiemio, by Haluave, the American
'Minister being, in the latter ciue, on board at
the time.
President 8ilnave was still iu the South,
directing military operations. The American
Minister at Port-nu Prince hud received des
patches from the President, but nothing was
known at Port-au-Prince further than that the
Government lorces were operating successfully
against the rebels. From Jacmel.Cape Hay ti, and
onatves dates to the 9th of January had been
received, but matters remained unchanged at
those places.
The affair of the American tchoouer Dc Ilart
was amicably settled through the intervention
of the captain of the United S at3 war steamer
Nipsle, which subsequently left lor Asplnwall.
The Dc Ilart was at Port au Prince for charter.
A decree has bern issued bv the Government
requiring all foreigners in Ilayti to register
their names ar.d their occupations at offices
designated by the Government for that purpose.
The measure, says the decree, is simply precau
tionary, and not intended to operate in any
way aeainst foreigners In Hajti engaged iu
legitimate pursuits.
? CALIFORNIA.
Terrible Ravages of the Nniallpo
s Tlie Town of Han Juau Jfeclinntetl.
The New York Sun' Ban Francisco (Cal.)
correspondent writes on the 12th tilt:
Early in December the smallpox broke out in
this city. At first but little attention was paid
to it beyond the ordinary oonrse of vaccination.
But the disease grew virulent and mauy deaths
occurred. Through some tearful mistake a
amber of persons were vaccinated with impure
natter, and the ordinary medical treatment
seemed to have scarcely any effect upon tho
disease. So fatal were its ravages that public
attention was immediately drawn to it.
Tne people became excited, and a large
meeting was held to devise means to stop the
pread of the contagion. Ttie proceedings of
tuis meeting weie published In the San Francisco
Journals, but they were toned down to a mode
rate degree, through tear ot affecting the usual
Winter and spring tide of immigration. People
seem disposed to cover up the tcartul ravages of
the disease and to conceal its deadly character.
The streets are filled with tuucrals, and the
grave-digger has his hands aud graves full. In
tome case burials ate male by night.
Despite every precaution the contagion re
Bains as deadly as ever, and thougn tt can
scarcely be said to be increasing, its decline is
hardly perceptible. All the pest homes ara
lull. Fathers an 1 children, mothers, brother,
and sisters expire daily, and nearly every
person in the city has lost some acquaintance
or relative. The Chinese have suffered terribly.
Iheir native doctor have neither experience
nor common sense in the treatment ot the
smallpox, and, us a natuial consequenoe, three
out of every five ot their puiicuts run into
eternity.
Rut the ravages of the epidemic are not con
fined to Ban Francisco. Nearly the whole State
la infected, Hnd some towns have been decimated
fcy the peatileoce. i hus tar fcacramento, Marys
llle, and Stockton have eeotped the raalleuant
type of the oisjrder. but it has run through the
lower counties of tho State like a murrain. In
droy and Los Angeles tho disease has been
fatal beyond precedent, and 8au Francisco can
bo called reasonably healthy when its
death-rate is compared with thoe
of the former towns. Borne of those
affected appeur to rot by inches, In spite ot
every ava'lable prescription. The physicians
stand aghast. Iu tome cases vaccination seems
to have entirely )ost lis power, and men,
women, and children, wlih vaccine scars on
their arms as large as twenty-shlihug pieces,
have fallen victims to the pestilence. Hospitals
have been hastily furnished, and every effort
lias been made In these towns to stay the pro
gress of the disease, but thus far with but little
effect. Whole families have died. In one In
stance, a father and four children died within
twenty-four hours, and in a hotel at Ios Angeles
nin pirsons were buried within a week.
But the plague spot of the is' ate thus fur has
1. n f 1 1 U) n n f bun .ltt.n In Ll.tntu.-a
rooje one hundred miles from ban Francisco.
Th town contains about a thousand persons.
11, alarming accounts of the mortality in
fcaa .Francisco and utlroy excited, some ap.
prehensions, and aa effort was made to prevent
the appeal ance of the epidemic iu Saa Juu.
A man came down from the grape-crowing
d strict of Sonoma county, and reentered
his name in the hotel. When questioned
concerning the smallpox in the north, h
acknowledged Its fatal virulence, and said that,
fearing he might catch it, he had taken th i
precaution to bo vaccinated before leaving
home. In twenty-four hours his arm swelled
to the size of his body, and was covered with
gangrenous sores. An examination by the
ptiysirintts resulted In the discovery of the fact
that the mon hud actually been iuociilatel with
tbc most malignant type of the smallpox.
He died, a sickcninii nia-s of putre'nctlon,
within torty eight hour", and whs buried at
midnight. Steps were tuk-n oi the Instant to
prevmt the spread ot tne disease. The dead
ui au's blankets, underclothes, and outer gar
ments were burned; but un'or'iiu.itely SQaie
school children discovered the hilt-ourned ras;s
and caueht the Infection. In one week num
bers of them died, and the epidemic obtained a
firm footnold in Sun Juau. Ujt of a population
ot a ihotisand, tour hundred were takndovn
with smnllpox. and ot these four hundred per
sons onn hundred nnd sixty died.
Ibis is a fearful rale of mortality, mid I
donbt whether the annals ot this loath-tome
disease con surpr.ss it. In fom country towns,
away Irom the teach ot sk l'ul doctor.', and
where the proper medicines are scarce, two
thuds of the cases prove latol. Tnroughout
the State the mortality hiis ben unprecedented.
I have thought it my daty to cive your
readers this Information, b"caur-e of the dhpo-ii-tinn
throughout California to keep the wtiol"
thinir as qui -t as po-nible. It Is proper ib'it
ptople intending to coaie to California
should be mado acquainted with the tacts,
aiid i send theia to you, earnestly ho.iing that
you will place them before your renders. The
truth has been too long concealed.
S I TKO-WLYCEKLNK.
Ttiree Men Klllctl nnd Seven O.hors
Wounded by Its Explosion.
From the Troy Times, Feb. 1.
On Saturday morning at 10 o'clock a loud ex
plosion suddeuly alarmed the inhabitants of the
quiet vilhige of Sooth Petersburg, iu this
county, and for a few moments tho utmost con
sternation was depicted on every couutenauce.
This soon gave place to the inteuscst feeling of
honor, as the news spread from mouth to
mouth that the shock which hnd been expe
rienced throughout the village proceeded from
a rock cutting along the true of Parks' Leba
non Sprirgs Hail road, nnd resulted trom the
premature explosion ot a can of nltro-glycerinc.
and that numbers ot the workmen engaged
upon the road had been killed and injured.
The reality was bad enough, for three men had
in au instant been hurled into eturnity, while
seven others were little better than mangled,
tiulverlng masses of humanity; but as it was
known that thirty men were at work in the
cutting, and as the terrible effect ot glycerine
was comprehended in a moment, the fears
of the populace maguiQed the horrors ot
the accident ten fold, and rumors of even greater
destruction of life prevailed until the sad reality
was knowu. A shocking sight barst upon the
view of those who, hastening to the relief of
the unfortunate workmen, were tho first to
arrive upon the scene. Tuose who hal escaped
tied in terror from tne place the cries of horror
and alarm mingling with the shrieks of tho
wounded as they lay hopeless in an agony
utterly beyond the power of pen to describe or
the mind to realize. Three men ICpbraim ft.
Webster, the foreman of the woik; John Con
nors aud William Clayton were blown into
masses of almost unrecognizablo humanitv.
while seven others, some of them (tlih arms and
legs wrenched from their bodie?, lay in all direc
tions perhaps th? most pitiable vic.ims of the
Horrible calamity. The names ot tho wounded
are John O'Neal, injured beyond all possioility
ot recovery; Bryan Higgiug, Mich lei Maloncy,
Patrick Kdey, James Connors, Ueury Breeu,
and ,'olin Rush two of the last named being
very severely hurt.
The place nt which the accident occurrel lies
upon the outskirts of the villaee. A ro;:ky
ledge, some two or three uuud:ed feet long, was
iu process of excava'ion to reduce the grade of
the road bed at that point. Mr. Webster was in
charge of the the work, aud for the purpose of
facilitating the blasting used nitro-giyctriue, an
explosive agent some twenty times more power
ful than gunpowder. He was in the habit of
placing the curtrlJgcs containing the glycerme
in the blasting holes drill d in the rok, and on
this occasion seems to have acted with a care
lessness which cost him his life. The cartridge
consisted of a tin tube about an inch and a half
in diameter and about three or four inches long.
In this tube the glycerine was inserted, and in
an inner tube n small quantity of powd-r, to
which the fuse was attached, serve 1 as the
menus of exploding the fluid when placed In posi
tion in the rock. On Saturday night preparations
bad been made to discharge a blast. Mr. Wedster
had prepared a cartridge, but upon exniuiuation
fonnd that it was defective in some way. He
licked up a small hammer that lay upon the
ground near him and began to tap the cartridge
gently upon one of the ends. Iu an instant it
exploded. One of the men who were killed was
standing in the immediate presence of Mr.
Webster, holding in his hand a can ot the
glycerine. The can was exploded by the force
of the explosion of the cartridge, and thus the
calamity became general. Mr. Webster was
blown into a hundred pieces almost, his head
aud trunk being much mancled, while his limbs
were literally torn into shreds. Both Connors
and Clayton were also mangled In a horrlblo
manner, and it was with much difficulty that
the several parts could be collected and identi
fied. O Nelll, who was Btill ally this mornln?,
was injured internally aud cannot recover.

SENATOR PRATT.
An AtldrctiS on I be Condition ol
I he
Nation.
The Hon. Daniel P. Pratt, the recently elected
Penator trom Indiana, made a modest aud lorci
blo address to the Legislature nf that State the
other day, in which, among other good things,
he said:
Tho country demands peace, order, and pro
tection. In those communities where the
Rebellion remains, lunued occasionally here
and there into consuming flame, the disaffected
must be made to submit absolutely to the law.
Turbulence, disorder, and omnwes upon life
and property must be stopped nt every nazbrd.
Protection from the Government is the equiva
lent which tho citizen receives, or should
receive, tor the taxes he pays and the militiry
service he owes, and he is deirauded and the
Government dishonored whenever it fails to
render that protection to the humb.cst of its
citizens. At home aud abroad it is bis right to
enjoy the blessings of life, liberty, aud the pur
suit of happiness. If there is any oue thiug to
which both of the great parties committed
and pledged themselves ddilug the past
year by their suffrage, as was to the retrench
ment of expenses, the abolition of unnecessary
offices, the 6triclest accountability of public
officers, and efficiency and honesty in every
branch ot the public service. These pledges
roust bo redeemed. Whl'e our people pay their
butdensome taxes contentedly, when satlsded
that tbey are honestly applied, they havo set
their face9 liko flint against a waste of the
public revenue by their Bervauts. They demand
that all our resources trom taxation be applied
to ihe reductiontif the public debt as rapidly as
may be, and they demand that the expenses of
the' Government be reduced to tho lowest prac
ticable limit consistent with Us efficient admin
is'.raticn. They demand that all schemes of
internal improvement aud corporate enterprises,
however plausible they may seem, which look
to the Government f yt aid by way of subsidies,
be. postponed while this mountain of debt con
tinues to cast, its shadow over the nation. They
demand that the offices be filled with competent,
irustworty men, selected solely with reference
to their tit net s to best serve the interests ot the
Republic.
KV-KL UX HORRORS.
Cutting Oir n Man's Enra-l'riUtlul
Mutilation.
The New Orleans Itepvb ican ot the 27th ult
eays: On the night of the 11th inst. Susan Jones,
seven years old, the daughter of a blacksmith,
1. P. Jones, who resides near Bartlett's stttian,
eight miles trom Memphis, T'cnn., ou the
Louisville road, disappeared. That night, als ,
Wash Heuly, a colored man, employed by Mr.
Jones, was also missing, aud Mr. Jones dis
covered, likewise, that his money, $100 iu gold
and $46 in greenbacks, was gone.
According to the reporlB in the Memphis
Tost, tho daughter and tho colored man Heuly
were captured at Germantown the next day. It
appears that the girl was uot enamored of her
chosen escort, but had indulged in a stage in
fatuation to abandou her parental root ana
seek a borne elsewher. She accordingly mado
known ber folly to Henly. he took her
father's money, and at night Heuly ac
companied her from the parental roof
at her request and under her pay, as
she afterwards asserted. Tho daughter
was discovered, as stated, in Germautowu,
with the money she baa taken, aud her lather,
who had goue to Memphis to put the Selective
on the trajk, hastened to Germantown, aud, in
company with a frieud, started for his home
with his daughter, his money, aud the colored
man Hunly. On tho way some twenty five
fiends dresi-ed as Ku-klux scl.ed Henly. To
adopt the language ot the J'osl, the mild recital
of the particulars ol the awful deed tbey
perpetrated will be more terrible than auy
anathemas we could tram from the severest
words that the luugnnge affords.
They cut off Ilenly's ears and otherwise
mutilated bin in a suockiug way. Tney tied a
rope round his neck, suspended hiu a few
Inches Irom the ground, covered his body wiih

Tbc Secretary ol the Treasury has decided
that wheat, the product of the United States, is
cot liable to duty on account of its transporta
tion from one United States port to another
through contiguous foreign water, owing to the
wreck ot the vessel. A fee of one-half storage
for one month, under act thirty-five, revised
wnrehonse regulations, does not apply where
merchandise Is withdrawn for exportation
before putting it In store. Bag?aj;a
must be duly entered, or, at the option of tho
collector, It may, ou declaration, be examined
by an inspector tuptead. If dutiable articles are
found therein entry muxt be made thereof and
duty paid. Under the first section of the act of
June 27, 1804, all btigeagc of passengers from
contiguous foreign territory is to bo inspected by
a regular inspeo'.or or other ofheer of customs at
the first port of entry at which it shall arrive,
and such officer Is empowered to require the
trunk, sack, or other envelope containing the
baggage to be opcneJ, or the key delivered to
him, and refusal to comply with such require
ments forfeits the trunk or other envelops and
its contents.
It is doubtful whether the concealment of
dutiable articles would carry with it more thau
tho forfeiture of such articles. By tbe fourth
section of the act of July 18, 18GC, dutiable
articles concealed in baggage for the purpose
of evading tho duties are forfeited, but not the
remaining articles of baggage. If a baggage
entiy is made, and if, upon examination, duti
able articles are found, not Included ia the
entry, all such articles are forfeited, and the
person In whose baggage they are found is
liable to forfeit and pay treble the value of such
articles. No allowance can be made for leak
age, evaporation, or deterioration, etc. etc., ot
goods In bonded warehouse. Such merchandise
may remain iu warenonse it uuty is pau
thereon, and, if exported within three years, is
entitled to a return of tbe duty. A drawback,
however, H only allowed on the same quantity
and proof ot the article actually exported.
