The tiii'li-t I'miNpirnrv. . A vast C'urlist conspiracy ha- been discovered in rpuin. Many priests mid others have hecn arretted at the house of mi ex-nun, where were found letters to her from (JoHeral Cabrera and Sinor Aimrisi (Cnrlists in Paris). In one of these letters, dated the l'dli nit., she is directed "'to ntlvise her friends to be ready by the J1 ht.," which date Is supposed to lie that of the j:c nerul rising. The reports from sundry places in the country speak of t'arlist imitation in many points, and bands of 20 to Ml are giving anxiety by violence and robbery. Three mail coaches, in Military country districts, not far from Madrid, have been attacked at niirht by armed men and robbed. The worst feature of the I'arlist conspiracy is that the clergy are at the bottom of it; some people say they all are. It is noto rious they are still far from being reconciled to the new order of religious liberty instituted in the Constitution, and that they entertain visions of yet restoring Spain to tii.it Catholic unity the revolution has broken. There are upward of 1:10,000 of them in Spain, so it is easily seen what an immense power for mischief they are. Don Carlos himself is described as an unintelli gent prince of the Bomba school, and with no modern ideas. It was lately said that ho had been able to raise !r2,000,(H)0 in Spain. The l.ntONt French Duel. The duel between Mr. Reginald Russell ami M. de la l'oe.c came oil at Chantilly on the Stith ult., and is thus related by the J'all Mall Gazette: "Small swords were chosen, and it was agreed ttiat the fight should continue till one of the men was incapable of holding his weapon. A couple of pocket handkerchiefs having been thrown on the ground at a distance of 'JO paces from each other to mark the lines to which cither party might give way, swords were crossed, and on the word allez being given the combat commenced. M. de la Poeze attacked with such vigor that he exposed himself to his adversary and received a wound in the neck: but, as it was simply a scratch, from which the blood, however, llowed rather freely, the fight went on. Again the Frenchman assumed the offensive, and again he was touched by his adversary's sword, this time in the arm: but the hurt was trivial, and a third appeal was made to the god of battlea. Regardless of his punish ment, M. de la Poeze again forced the fighting, and with such vigor that he drove Mr. Russell to within a yard of his handkerchief. The lat ter gentleman now thought it high time to change his tactics, and, making a successful lnnire. he wounded his antagonist, in the chest. i M. de la Poeze fell and the affair was over. The victim in this encounter, though slightly iuuv.utu in uuc ui luu unit;.', la uot monism iu be in danger, and before Mr. Russell left the ground he desired to shake hands with him. The Helen of the quarrel has gone to Germany to drink the waters." Tiie Imprisoned Nun nt Cracow. The case of the imprisoned nun at Cracow, which led to the recent riots there, forms the subject of an article in the Vienna J're.sse, from which we learn that the name of the prisoner is Barbara L'bryk, and that the statement that sh had been confined for twenty-one years is cor rect. The civil authorities we're informed of the fact by an anonymous letter In a womaus hand writing, and the bishop of the diocese was com municated with. A judge visited the convent and found in a cell, seven paces long by six paces wide, an entirely naked half insane wo man, who, at the unaccustomed view of light, the' outer world, and human beings, folded her hands and pitifully implored: "I am hungry, have pity on me, give me meat, and I shall be obedient This hole, for it could hardly be called a chamber, besides con taining all kinds of dirt and filth, and a dish with rotten potatoes, was deficient of the slightest de cent accommodation. There was nothing no stove, no bed, no table, no chair it was neither warmed by a fire nor by the rays of the sun. The judge instantly ordered the nun to be -.1 . . 1 1 .1- I.: if 1)1.1. t-iouicu, uuuttciiL iniusuu 101 jmmioij nuecKi. Tihe bishop was deeply moved, and. turning to the assembled nuns, he vehemently reproached them for their inhumanity. "Is this, he said, "what you call love of your neighbor 't Furies, not women, that you are, is it thus that you purpose to enter the kingdom of ieaveii i" The nuns ventured to excuse klieir conduct, but the bishop would not hear then). "Silence, you wretches!" he exclaimed: 'away, out of my sight, you who would disgrace eligion !" The father confessor, Pianthiewicz. .in old priest, who was present, dared to observe bat the ecclesiastical authorities were aware ol his scandal, whereupon the bishop and prelate. Spital, denied his assertion, and at once sus- eiuleu the lather contcssor and the superioress. who is descended from an old honorable Polish noble family. The bishop ordered Nun Barbara LuryK to be nrought Into a clean cell, and there to he dressed and nursed, which the lady superior obeyed very reluctantly. When the unhappy nun was led away she asked whether she woufd be brought back to her grave, and when asked why she had been imprisoned, she answered: "I have broken the vow of chastity, but," point ing with a fearfully wild gesture, and in great excitement to the sisters, "they are not angels." The lady superior declared that Barbara L'bryk was kept in close confinement since ISIS, by order of the physician, because of her unsound mind. But this lihvsician died in 1S4S t . 1 tli I present physician, l)r. Bahrzyuski, who has been piiiuiiaiu in me cuuwiii mr me last seven years, has never seen Barbara L bryk. Ou ac count of the importance of the case, the Attor-riey-tiencrnl 1ms taken the matter in hand. The Jxaspcration of the people knows no bounds. It ,ln stated that the bishop intends to dissolve the convent. 7 The New Siinnl-.li IHini-dPrs. The Madrid correspondent of the 1'all Mall Gazette writes: "Of the three new coiners, two, Ardanaz and Echegarav, are road enirineers. and their colleague, Becerra, a small journalist, who has fought more than once at barricades. None of the three have ever been ministers before, nor I have had any connection with politics except as fagltators. Politics in Spain are a trade, hut a craue in wnieu there Is no apprenticeship. Every man learns what he thinks the business lor him self, in no school in particular. Ardanaz is said to be a less zealous free-trader than Figue- roia, which does not look well lor the iimM,wu of our financial treaty: while there la no reason for supposing "that ho is an abler or uonesierman. riguerola s admirers boast that he letireswith clean hands, which, sinsrul III' IIS It sounds to us, is a distinction in Spain.

As the time lor the fair approaches, the fathers whose chil dren are marriageable collect what they can af lord as a dowry. Whatever this consists of it is packed, if possible, Into a cart or carriage, and on the aj. pointed day they all fathers, children, iiml chattels start for soine trystlng place, gene rally among the western mountains of Transyl vania. When the fair Is opened, the fathers climb to the top of their carriages and shout with the whole power of their lungs, "1 have a daughter to marry. Who wants a wife?" The call is answered by some other parent who has a son he is anxious to pair off. The two parents com pare notes, and if the marriage portion is satis factory, the treaty is there and then concluded. The young man takes possession of his wife with nll her goods and chattels; and drives olf merrily. If, on the other hand, the. match is not eiUal,or for some other reason unsatisfactory, then the parents begin to cry their live merchan dise once more. Thr Conflict nl Karen In America. 1'ivm the .fiii'mi Times, Jrli'itt. Alone among the races of the world they (the Chinese) confront the Englishman, and produce as much work with less pay. Other laborers are often found to work for "less wages than the English laliorcr, but they prove in the end the dearer workmen to employ, because of the in sullicii ncy of what they turn out. The China man in a large range of" employments overcomes this diiliciilty, and shows a balance in his own favor, and Ihc resentment of the manual laborer he underbids Is a necessary conseiUcnce. "We cannot live," the Californian in effect says, "upon that which satisfies a Chinese," and, "in pursuance of that self-preservation which Is the first law of nature, he proceeds to beat and stone him in the streets. We venture to think the conflict, of races In California will not be solved by import duties or street outrages. It would appear that in Cali fornia itself there arc persons who Uud the pre sence of the Chinese useful and convenient. The Californian sections of the Pacific Railway were made with their assistance, and while the work was thus cheaply done,it bears comparison with the sections completed by "navvies" from another world. The same mail which tells us of the vigorous steps taken in California informs us that a convention has been held at Mem phis to devise means of bringing Chinese into the cotton, sugar, corn, and rice lields of the South. The Mississippi and Missouri valleys: the mines of Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona, the prairies still haunted by Indian tribes, may be contested between Chinese and American immigrants. It is impossible to sup pose that the Chinese can be kept out. and speculation may be better employed in contem plating the functions they may hereafter dis charge in the wonderful polity into which the States arc destined to grow. Inheriting a civili zation more ancient and economic methods more perfect than the European can boast, but desti tute of that strength and roughness of moral fibre which supports authority, the Chinese may be welcomed as assistants in colonization; they need not lie feared as the dominating race ol the future. rixjiuiors consumption. How Tlicv Yieliinllcil a .Multitude In ICnxlitnd. The review of English volunteers at Wimble don this year was notable lor the enormous consumption of food concerning which the following statistics are given by a London paper: "Of bread, there were eaten 25,000 pounds; of butter, '.' tons; of cheese, 1 ton; of bacon, 1 1 ewt.; ol hams, : tons; of eggs, l,:sr0: of rolls, 12,077: of Hour, HO sacks: of tea, 1007 pounds; and of coffee, 'i'MO pounds: 15 tons of meat were eaten, and 1440 fowls, with 0:20 ducklings, :04 goslings.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune writes from New Mexico a doleful story about Indian outrages. He says: "The Indians hold ihe'hand of industry para lyzed in New Mexico, and have done" so lor months; and neither Oeneral Sherman nor the (Junker agents come to the reliel of the people at all. In the Pinos Altos district, in (irant county, a dozen of the most extensive copper, gold, and silver mines, supplied with machinery at enormous expense, have been abandoned no account of the hostility of the Indians, and thousands of men are thrown out of employ ment and the machinery left to be burned and destroyed. Among those abandoned are the celebrated Hanover copper mine. Stewart lode, Apache Pass. Harris lode, and manv others which might be named. "In Dona Anna county more than a dozen profitable mines have been abandoned. In So corro county valuable mines have been aban doned, and "the miners driven away by the Nava joes. In San .Juan sixty-seven mines have been abandoned. In Valentia county more than a dozen profitable lodes have been abandoned. In fact, the people here are at the mercy of the Indians, who steal mules, sheep, cattle" horses, and everything they can get their hands on, be sides constantly killing, murdering, and kidnap ping the people. The people regard the military as a nuisance, so far as protection is concerned. A few weeks ago the Indians drove oft four hun dred head of mules from the town of Sheridan; only a day or two since they drove awav a herd of six thousand sheep not twenty-five miles from Santa Fe. Within ten days they have destroyed four mails, stolen twelve mules, and shot the drivers, w ithin a hundred miles of here. Lvery day brings news of fresh outrages. ''Not only are all. or nearly all, of the mines of New Mexico abandoned on account of the hos tility of the Indians, but no prospecting can bo done and no new mines can be opened, ihe Indians gobble up every party who ventures five miles from a fort or largo town, and the consequence is miners are leaving the territory, business la destroyed, and merchants are failing to pay, because they havo lost their cubtoiaera una cannot eU their goodg." TENNESSEE. Hmtb'nl t'linrirrn nt Frnuil-.Tnlinon' Ilnpr niul i'roBUcets Slokcn TlircnM'iin. The Cincinnati Uazitte has the following from Nashville, August 0: The figures given as Center's majority repre sent simply the number of illegal votes put in the ballot-box. It is estimated that nearly four thousand illegal votes were cast in this county alone, though the election was more fairly eon ducted here, perhaps, than in anv other portion of the SUte. From present indications the straight-out Democrats have madea clean sweep of the Legislature. The few dupes who here and there consented to run as Senter Republicans have been utterly iguored by the Senter De mocracy. The only Republicans In the Assembly will be "a few from East Tennessee. The indig nation and gloom among the Republicans is very great. The Democratic newspapers can scarcely conceal their bitter hatred to the colored men on account of their fidelity to the Republican cause. A number of the old Rebel and Copperhead leaders, who it was hoped were buried for ever, will be in the Legislature. Among them are such men as Emerson Ktheridge, Ed. Cooper, Bailie Peyton, and John Fleming. F.theridge and Peyton will both be candidates lor the I nitcd States Senate. Ex-riiEsi iii'st joiisson's ciiANcns. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Cuiitiiu'reia'. writes: The numerous personal and political friends of A. Johnson, such as Wendell Phillips and J M. Ashley, will be glad to learn that l bo brotherly "iiius which is now making things delightful in Ibis State will probably tei'iiiinato in the election of their bosom trieml to the Senate of the I'nited States, where his great mental and moral culture will have a wider range of usefulness than is accorded to those brilliant characteristics while the possessor thereof is cooped up in the mountains of Tennes see. The conservatives, finding themselvesstrong enough to stand alone, became as independent as a Kentucky Democrat who has never heard of the lilteenth amendment, and set about no minating men for olliee whose views accorded with their own upon more subjects than that of suffrage. This change of tactics will materially alter the political complexion of the next Legis lature. Instead of a conservative Republican, it will undoubtedly he a conservative Democratic assemblage. This will give Johnson an advan tage over Senter, and one that will probably elect him. It will be a happy day for Tennessee when she can proudly point to Brownlow and Johnson sitting side by side in the Senate of the I nitcd States, and representing her interests in the councils of the nation. It will be a pleasure reserved to Tennessee alone, for where is the State that can point to two such men as Johnson and Brownlow ': STOKI'S 'III UK A TENS. Stokes threatens yes swears that as soon as Congress meets he will have the act removing Senter's disabilities repealed, and thereby place that distinguished gentleman right back "among the -unpardoned Rebels, where he was when this cruel war was over. It might be well enough for the gifted Stokes to pause in his mad deter mination, and see what such a proceeding will lead to. If Senter is disqualified, another Gov ernor must be forthcoming. Who will that be? The Speaker of the Senate, of course. Who will the Speaker of the Senate be? A Democrat, lor the next Senate will be of the Democratic per suasou, and very likely Emerson Etheridge may be the man on "whose shoulders the mantle of the present incumbent will fall, providing Stokes insists on placing the Government in Democratic hands. Tin- SciiiiIoi'hIiI. Advices from a trustworthy source in Tennes see state that the Legislature elect has been care fully canvassed, with a view to obtaining infor mation regarding the election of a I'nited States Senator. The result shows that ex-President Johnson will receive the support of all the old line Democrats, while the old-line Whigs will support Bailie Peyton, and the Republicans will nominate Stokes, or some other man of similar political kin. The balance of power will doubt less be held by the W higs, but few of whom will, under any circumstances, be willing to vote for t heir old antagonist. Andy Johnsom It is. there fore, not improbable that a Republican of the conservative stripe will be elected. Cor. X. V. Tribune. KEYOXU THE JIISSISSUTI. Wlmt oitr Tiooxh nre lloiiiunml Intend lo llo. The Arini) ami AYicy Journal has full and in teresting intelligence of the condition of our troops on the Plains and on the Pacific coast. The completion of the Pacific Railroad (says the Journal) has brought the troops stationed "along the great de-crt into nearer relations with civili zation, and has served to materially mitigate the hardships of their lot. They form a chain of hardy and sunbrowncd little communities, de prived, of course, of many of the comforts and elegancies of civilized Hie: but they are inured to their condition, and know how useless it would be to complain of it. Major-General Thomas has gone to Alaska, with the fixed purpose of abolishing the depart mental command in that Arctic region, and re ducing it to a two-company post, at St Paul's and St. George's Islands. This, with a cutter, will be entirely adequate for the protec tion of the seal fisheries, vt hich are the only raimm d'etre lor the presence of troops there at all. The Department of Alaska, of which Gene ral Jefl. C. Davis is now in command, costs a large amount of money, and produces little or no result except chronic rheumatism, which spoils in a single year two-thirds of the troops unfortunate enough to be stationed in that land ol fogs and chills. General Thomas has com municated his design to General Sherman, and the latter is disposed to entirely agree with him and to co-operate in carrying if into effect. General Ord. in command of the Department of California, is administering the affairs of his wide department with skill and assiduity: and liom the fact that he is an old "Forty-niner" and a member of the "Pioneers." lie enjoys the general esteem of San Franciscans. General Stoneinan. who has been in commaud at the Presidio (or old military presidency near the city), and who is al.-o an old-time Califor nia), was on the. point of leaving that post, to assume command of Drum Barracks, near San Diego. He will be in commaud of all the troops in Arizona, where the Indians have been so ac tively and successfully pursued this summer, and where they have created a good deal of trouble. He will make it liis iluty to clean out the red skins. Colonel Morrow Hate of President Johnson's stall), of the Paymaster-General's Department, was about starting on a tour through Arizona to payroll the troops at the different posts and stations in that territory. In two months Colonel Samuel Dana will follow on the same sen ice. Brevet Colonel Taylor has just been removed from Angel Island. San Francisco harbor, and transferred to Cheyenne, the capital of Wyo ming. He was replaced by Brevet Major General O. B. Wilcox. Colonel John Taylor, of the staff of General Jjalleek, was on the point of leaving for Louis ville. Dr. Letterman, well known us the efficient Medical Director of the Army of the Potomac under different commanders, is now in civil life, and is Coroner of San Francisco. Commander rauklin, of the Mohican, was just about sailing, carrying with him two astronomers, to observe the eclipse in Kainsehatka, on the Asiatic coast, at which point the eclipse will bo total.
