"General Jordan's Appeal to the Ameri can People -De Kotlas' Opinion of American Officers and the Probabilities of Recognition. A New York correspondent, while In lliivana, conversed with D(j Kodas, the Spanish Captain Oenernl, and from his report of that Interview we take the following; 1)E RODAS OPINION OF AMERICA OFFICERS. General Do Kodus Ah, j'ou have been In the United States army, eriiaps during the lato civil war? Correspondent Yes, sir; 1 held a commis sion as a staff and lino olticer for four yean. General Do Kodas Then you must be well Acquainted with the prominent military leaders. I tried very hard to obtain leave of absence from our Minister of War to euable mo to wit ness the great struggle then presented between the peoples of one nation, a country which was generally considered weak, infantile, and unedu cated in the art of war, but which presented to the world, instead of a childish farce or Spanish American revolution, the spectacle of two young . giauts, who, after every battle, and contrary to what would have been tho case In Europe, re newed tho struggle with increased force and de termination. It often brought to my mind tho remark of General Zurualcarrcgul, when speak ing of the English legion who fought in our groat civil war, "Estos inglescs son murallas do came." (These English arc perfect walls of flesh.) And this reminds me of that famous Southern General, Stonewall Jack eon, whose figure stood out pro-eminent as my beau ideal of a soldier, although Shcridau, Sher man, Grant, and Lee arc, in my opinion, equal if not superior to any generals in Europe. Sheri dan was tho 8tonewall Jackson of tho North, -and if we had a few generals like those produced by the United States, Spain might accept the gage of battle from France or Germany without any fears as to tho result. I am astonished, however, that General Sheridan or. President Grant should lend their aid and moral support to a band of rebels, when they risked their lives eo often to suppress a rebellion. DE RODAS ON ASSASSINATION. Correspondent But, General, we hear a great deal of the assassinations of Cubans, who were not even taken as prisoners of war. General de Rodas This unfortunately is too true. I might give as an excuse that tho rebels net worse. You mutt remember that this is only a partly civilized country, inhabited by the de scendants of Spaniards, who inherit the san- uinary character of the race, by the sons of pnnish criminals who were sent here while Cuba was a penal colony, in addition to that horrid mixture produced by the miscegenation of the European, negro, Chinaman, and abo riginal. All ignorant peoples are brutal, and I cannot excuse the execution of any man unless he is a criminal. My only desire is to leave my children the inheritance of an untarnished name, and, if God will, the early pacification of this territory. THE LENGTH OF THE REBELLION. Correspondent Do you think, General, that the war will soon be over? General De Kodus Yes, sir Tho rainy sea son is drawing to a close. 1 have despatches that tho home Government will send mo heavy reinforcements. Those who came here during the spring are now acclimated and conversant with tho peculiar mode of warfare necessary here. In addition, the volunteers will take tho field, or at least a large portion of them. Tho mere suppressing of' tho rcbelliou will bo a matter of a few weeks. The complete exter mination of tho small band3 will require tinio and labor. THE AMERICAN RECOGNITION OF CUBA. Correspondent But if tho United States should recognize the insurgents as belligerents, would not that interfere very much with your expectations and plans ? General Do Kodas I don't think tho United States will recognize the Cubans. In the llrst - place, they have neither government, harbors, nor an organized army or navy; besides, tho Cubans, according to their manifestoes, don't wish to be annexed to the United States. Many and very influential Cubans arc on tho Spanish side; they know that under Spanish rule they havo become wealthy and flourishing, increasing in population; the sense of self-preservation is very strongly developed in them, and they havo learned enough from tho examples given by Texas, Florida, and California, that the Latin race is no match for tho An .lo-Saxon; that they will be annihilated in a very quiet ye: perceptible and effective manner. The Inferior race must always give way to tho superior race; and although I tun a Spaniurd, with heart and soul I am fully convinced that we are no match, cither morally, physically, or mentally, for the Teutonic breed. I must bid you good evening, as a gentleman wishes to see me, and as soon as your affairs arc in train let me kuovr. CJcneral Jordan AppenU to the American People. Bijarru, Cuba, June 8. The people of the United States havo manifested in tho protound 1st manuer their sympathy for tho people of Cuba in their struggle for freedom aud a na tionality of their own, American and republican In its character. 1 am satisllcd that this sympa thy only needs direction to take practical, mate rial shape for tho immediate benefit of a sorely oppressed people; tnereiore i snail not nesitato to appeal directly to them for substantial aid, and in a manner that does not violate any laws of their country. Cuba does not need men although, of course, the aid of sonio veto ran soldiers would bo of great service at this im mediate juncture but sue does neea suoes, r.lothino-. and medicine, for none are in the country. Hundreds of brave men are stand ing in my sight almost naked, many quite so, and few witti shoes of any sort, but all mani festing delight that at km tliey have arms and ammunition in tlieir hands with which to meet an enemy whose atrocious Habit k is, as i cau testify, to butcher tho wounded and prisoners. Men more willing to become soldiers 1 newr saw. There is but one sentiment among them the inextinguishable resolution to be rid of .Spain atd Spaniards, and at every sacrifice to bo free.

Of v, ..or olvtv.alv urn wounded Ilion. LOUV UC .Ul WVl H m j - .fill mandant Bouiche, twice wounded in the head, She brings Information of a desperate attacK ly the insurgents on Las Tunas, and their re puhebjthcprrlsonof tliati!aco oo th'J lJl of August. The delay in the transmission of tho news was doubtless owing to the fact that tho Cubans nre in large numbers between Tunas and l'nerto Padre, and communication is seldom and difficult. We havo as yet only the Spanish accounts, not ft word having arrived through Cuban sources. These in the past have been by no means remarkable for their truth fulness, and should, therefore, be taken with manv grains of allowance. The ofllcial report of Lieutenant-Colonel Bonichc, chief of the gar rison at the time of the attack, appears in the (iazttte. It Is very long and unreasonably diffu sive. His own force had been reduced to 400 men, while the. Insurgents, according to the statement of ft prisoner taken during tlie fight, numbered between WWO and 0000 and one piece f artillery. About an hour previous to the attack, 1200 men of the garrison, under Colonel Fftvela, had gone out to collect cattle, leaving but 2(H) to receive tho onslaught of the enemy. The attack commenced at half-past 4 A. M., on tho eastern side of the town, where it was sustained for a few minutes by a small force there, quickly reinforced from tho plaza. Tho Spa niards were fighting behind tlieir trenches, it will bo recollected. The attack soon became general nt the four principal points of the town. Colonel Favela, hearing tho firing from the out side, returned on the double-quick, and entering the town from tho north attacked tho cjiemy lu the rear, causing him great losses. Ho seems to have succeeded In reaching tho plaza with out dllllculty, nnd his force Immediately strengthened the weaker points. The fight continued with varied success at the different points up to halt-past 1 P. M. At one time the Insurgents had posses sion of nearly all the bulldinns in 4he southern part of tho town, and were working their way towards tho trenches surrounding tho plaza by cutting through tho walls of the houses. Ah the attacks at the other points had mostly ceased, the commandant concentrated his force and moved on the enemy in that direction, his men being subdivided into two divisions. Tho in surgeuts were protected by barricades of furni ture, wbicli were carried at tno point oi too bayonet, while the enemy from tho housetops and from other points poured down a deadly fire upon the charging column. The advance of the Cubans in that direction was checked, and the fight carried to another portion of tho town. During tho morning certain barracks occupied by the Spaniards were abandoned and burned to prevent their falling into tho hands of the Cubans. At 12 o'clock tho commandant set fire to eight or ten houses about the plaza, in order to supply himself wit'j a more open space. Further details of the light arc given, but they are confused and without interest. At half-past 1 P. M. the insurgents retired towards the country, after having Pet fire to more than 1(K) houses, mostly thatched. During the tight the Cubans kept up a lively fire with tlieir one piece of artillery, directed mostly against tho church tower, beneath which tho military hospital was situated, and falling mostly in tho court-yard. Now, says the report, the intention of the cuemy in the attack was to capture the place aud make it the seat of the republican government. This was evident from a proclamation of Cespedes, attached to the report, a translation of which I forward. Cespedes and Qtiesada, it is said, con templated tlie action from a distant eminence, and near mem, on ine rrincipo road, was seen a train, doubtless containing the insurgent ar chives, brought up in tho evident expectation that it would be an easy matter to take tno town. II A Y T I. The Story oft lie Horrible Outrnirea Committed uy ixaiunvv and iiih f ollower. From the Boxton Traveller of Tttemlttg evenitvp. Tho following letter was received to-day from a well-known. American resident in iiaytl. inc outrages he describes are of a character almost too horrible for belief, but his reputation war rants us in irlvimr Publication to his statements: FOKT-AU-l'KINCK, llayti, Aug. 3, 1I)'J.-WO stated some time since that a terrible atfair took place in this city on the ith of July. Since then acts of the most cowardly and of tho most revolting nature are daily occurring here under this infamous government of Sal nave. Two nights ago, tuc aotu instant, ft horrible assassi nation was committed upon u inottcuslvc man by the name ot iiarrcau, sixty-live years ot aire This gentlemen was about embarking a nlcco of Ills, Mrs. Pagrolx (the wife ot an cx-rcpreseuta' tlve, who Is now at St. Marc), on board of the French man-of-war, the D'Estrec: as they reached tho wharf, they were arrested by tho guards of the Post Ollice; the lady was beaten by those savages and put into jail, where she is still in close coutiuemcut in irous. .Mr. Barrcau was then conducted to the Post Olllje, the General commanding tho post, by tho name ot Jseoclls Saintongc, ordered tho man t no taken to Fort Hot (only a short distance from tho city), where he was butchered by five of his men at 9 o'clock in the evening. When the old man saw that his doom was sealed, ho gave up n ring which he had on his linger, and tlie keys of his house to the general, to be remitted to his wife. At I o'clock in tho morning tlio house of the poor man was robbed of cvrythiug by tho soldiers, and the only reason he gave was, 'It was for an example!" We can understand that when two enemies meet face to face, the natural consequence is that cither one or the other falls, but we cannot account for such a dastardly and cold-blooded murder. Only a (lend, like this General Saintonge, could have put in exe cution such a horrible act of barbarity. Wo will say a few words concerning this Sain ton ire, this monster in human shape. Under tho gov ernment of Soulouque, this miserable wretch, after squandering all that his father had left him, at the gaming tables, was a low vagabond, begutng in the streets, barefooted and miserable. He committed a most outrageous act upon a child twelve years of age. for vvliich Souloii iiu had him thrown into u dungeon, but as go. id luck often favors such scamps, ho made his escape, ond found himself in Kingston, Jainilca, where he met tho same old man whom lie mur dered on the 2ith instant, who received hlin at his home, Berving him as a protector aud father for ten years, until the downfall of Soulou-pi". when he returned to llayti, und he Is now gene ral commanding tho port. Tliis rulllau is not the only oue of that stamp. The General of tho de partment is one of the very lowest scoundrels a blood-thirsty negro: thc'Gcuerul of the place is a thief; tlie Chief of the Police Is of the hnvc-t character. These four blacklegs are only wait ing nnd watching their chance to excito the mob to plunder tho city of Port-au-Princ?. Women of the most degraded character are allowed to insult every oue; no on dare circulate in tho streets after dark. Those that have means and have deposited them for safety in the largo mer cantile establishments hero, receive in return a receipt uuder this condition: "Wo are not re sponsible for anything in case of pillage." Even the foreigners have no security for their property, and much less for their own lives. This is the state of things at Port-au-Prince; but, as we all look for help from above, we are waiting with patience for the day of deliverance. The two vessels of the revolution have left St. Marc for Aux Cayes, and one of Salnavo's small steamers, called tho Artlfonlto, has been cap tured laden with coffee, and reports have reached this city that Aguin has fallen into tho hands of the patriots, and Salnave wounded In tho leg and etioulders. The Alexander Potion '.and the Salnave, tho two vessels of war of Salnave, are here In bad order, they say, but the short of It is, they dare not 6how themselves before Go naive Island, and the contract between Captain ILllms and tho Governor having expired, tho noble captain does not care about trying his force with the revolutionary steamers. Ho has a notion now to offer his services to Nlssago. The best thing he has to do is to leave for the Unitod States, to save a whole skin. VVe foar that terrible repremilles will follow, when the troops of the revolution will enter in Port-an-Prlnce. There is not one who are at 8t. .Mitre, A.UX. Cnyes, JdWlH'l, ivjiU Jeremle, who have not cither a father, son, brother, mother or sister shot, dishonored, or even now enduring the horrors of a dunceon. Mr. Barrcau. the unfortunate victim, has an only son at St. Mire, who is a general in Nissage's army, and the French steamer D'Estrco left on tho morning of the execution for St, Marc to carry the sad njws to the son of the butchery of the father. KlCHMOND LORING, Late U. 8. Consul at Aux Cayes, llayti. ' FRANCE. The Speech of "I'lon-Plon" on the Hcnalun i.oriHiimim. On the 3d Inst, it is said that an extraordinary scene occurred in the Lcgislatif Chamber, at Paris, the cause ot it being the speech ot 1'rinco Napoleon, or "ITon.Plon," as he has been dubbed, on tho tenalns conxultuta. Jle closed as Jollows: I entirely Birree with the demand, for I consider that the duty of every jrood citizen requires him to take an Interest in polities.

I shall not dwell upon the In conveniences of the present system ; thej Involve an anachronism which might become dangerous to those who employ lt. I now come to another and graver point; I allude to municipal reform. (Noise.) lshue the opinion of those who udvocite the election of the mayors by the municipal councils, or, If you are not disposed to go so far, 1 ask for the suppression of the article which enables the Kmperor to select those functionaries outside of the local body, aud I also desire that the proceedings of the Utter should be made public. Those are tho principal p ilnts which 1 submit to the examination of the Senate. have coiilined my arguments to discussing the ou st It utUmal obstacles which oppose the foundation of that dream of my life, a liberal empire. Hereafter, wIicb we conic to the discussion of particular mea sures other questions will arise, such us the suppres si hi of what remains of the law on general safety, the abolition of article 70 of the Constitution of the Year VIII; a bill on tho ad ministration of the city of Paris; one on the relations ot Church and State; on primary, gratuitous, am) obli gatory Instruction ; on the liberty of superior teach ing; on decentralization ; on the emancipation of the citizen : on the reduction of expenditure ; and on foreign policy. Then will come the real struggle, and we shall sec all ancient abuses and superannu ated practices vanish. The mission of the Empire is to do whut no ottn r government has been able to do would not have dared to attempt to act In unis n with the great popular and democratic aspiration. Do not allow yourselves to be frightened by the spectre Houge and other well-known evocations. The best method of combatting revolutions Is to adopt what Is good In them, and this is the path on which the (Jovcrnuymt has entered. Let It perse vere. (Applause.) An I'nrxpcpted Hchpoiihp. To this M. de Forcade La Koquette, Minister of the Interior, said: In the speech which we have Just heard, by the side of liberal sentiments. In which the government fully participates, there are propositions Interpreta tions, and a series of observations which are per sonal to the speaker. (Hear, huar.) We cannot ac cept anyottier responsibility than that or our own opinions and acts, and before those we shall never recoil; hut I cau declare that I would never be the responsible Minister to a policy such us hiu been just set forth, (tireat approbation.) I am not of those who doubt the possibility of the alliance of the empire with liberty. My firm belief Is that the Na poleons ure destined to establish constitutional monarchy In this country. (Great applause.) but liberty is not rounded witn temerity, witn mat tin. petuoslty which pretends to suppress all obstacles, (Hear, hear.) French Opinions of the Crisis. The Tarls Journals of tho 4th of September almost the whole of the city press remark on Prince Napo leon's speech, some of them Joining with It the re marks of M. do Forcado la Uoipielte in reply. The general opinion is that the Prince displayed great ability and a liberal spirit, which sounded somewhat strangely in a "iTince or tlie blood. ' lieuco the Imperialist journals express considerable discontent. and declare that the speaker went too far. We pub lish me main points oi me comments. The Omni it nt tunnel says: All the Interest of the sitting was concentrated in ft mngnitlcent speech from i'l ince Naixileou and uu eloquent reply from M. do Korcade la Koquette. The former, with great force of expression and elevation of thought, drew a fiicture of the existing situation, aud declared that ic received the new reforms with so much the more favor Unit they are a first and large satisfaction given to the idea of his whole life, flat he considers them llisiittlclenU Tlie liiluitH expresses satisfaction at tho speech thus: However little we maybe inclined to nlar the courtier's part, we cannot help highly applauding I ne picas, as priiuciu as nnerai, expressed ny the Kinperor's cousin. We found lit them, with srreat pleasure, the larger part of those which we have constantly sustained, and which have so often brought down upon us the bitterest attacks of tho scuii-oltlclul press. We did not hope a few months buck, that those doctrines would so soon find in the high Assembly itself an interpreter placed so near ine uiroiie. Lit y-VfiHcc, of Paris, remarks: Tho Prince hesran by placing the Ideas he was about to develop under mi invocation of tin; most absolute devotcdness to tlie empire, the Lmperor, and the youny; Prince. i ne exordium, Hearing an impress at once or gran deur and emotion, will remain as a pane of history, The dominant Idea inuv he comprised lu two wordj to make the empire subsist together with liberty ; to rentier ineir union not a marriage or cold reason, but one of feeling; not a timid und ephemeral ex periment, hut uu indissoluble alliance. From one end to the other the speech of the Prince breathes the moBt lively faith in that result. The public Is not satistied. ltsavs:The sneech will certainly make a profound impression. Hut of what nature will it be? (iood or bad? Tho latter, we do not hesitate to sav. Prince Napoleon loves frankness; h possesses that quality, und will not, therefore, be astonished that we should use It In re gurd to himself. Well. then, his Interference in the debute of the Keiurte is simply uu act quite gut of place. Hut if ever circumstances Imposed upon any prince of the blood the obligations attendant oil ceremonial aud on family ties, ihey ure those at. pre sent existing. If ever Impatience or ambition was sure to produce an evil ellect It would bu at this moment, und this species of trampling down every thing on account of the Prince, If it Ins not In reality tlie ctiurauter of an cscula le, has all tho uppearaue'e ol It. The Paris Trmp says: This speech from V.vi commencement invested tlie question with propor tions llilinltely more vast ami liberal llian were eon. tallied in the tioverument measure. Therefore pro ject and report huvo isii.W palecl. Tim IViiioo had not prepared us for ua initiative ho deeidi-il. A doubt has been expressed in regard to the import ance of the reforms which we are eng.ig 'd In cariv Ing out, and of tke crisis which they imply. In order to estimate their Importance we should only reipiiro to read the Mineral oration pronounced br a prince of the blood upon the unfortunate Constitution of There is not much iTiiiuiiiiug of it. The Arrjnr Mutitimtt makes the observation that the Prince won applauded only ut the commence ment of his speech, when protest lug his devoted liesh lo the Kmperor. The J'trrv comments thus: The Prince considers that nil which the Xiuntim CnuHitltn ,n contains is good; but he denies that every think' that is good U to tie found there, aud his speech is only tlie deve lopment nnd rapid defense of that supplement, Hid ubscuce ol 'which hu regrets. Tin Minister, on the contrary, considers the. work satisfactory, ami lie w ill defend it in Its a.-lual shape, and with Its omis sions, which hu characterize us prudent, and its iimblgBltleH, w hich Iih iucreastis, as If designed, by the manner lu which he interprets them. The Steele writes lu a strange fashion on tho speech, treating, In one place, wlih great contempt, while lu another it praise and tm.louc many of His points which his High lies Insisted on. The extent to which tho Idea of repudiation has entered into the Democratic faith Is Illus trated by the following extract from tho Salis bury (N. C.)

Itepudlatlou means the best remedy against tyranny and oppression.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph, Cincinnati, Sept. 10. Pike's Hall last night was filled by a very largo and highly respccUblo audience, assembled to hear a discourse roin Mrs. Mary A. Llvcrmorc, of Chicago, who had been announced to deliver a reply to Judo Matthews' letter declining to sin the call for tho convention. She considered it a most handsome, fair, and manly letter. There was very little in the letter that eho could object to at all; but when tho Judgo concedes that they need to have a change made in the laws in reference to tho rights of married women, industry, education, etc., he conceded all that they asked for. He could not grant these without the other inevitably follow ing. Just as soon as it is found that women arc able to do business nnd to follow the professions, the ballot will be given them. The single objection in the mind of Judge Matthews was that the exercise of tho elective franchise would confuse tho spheres of tho two sexes. His idea is simply this: Women are women. They arc to be wives and mothers, and therefore they nre to have nothiug to do with the government of society. The speaker agreed that there Is a different function in the two sexes, but she differed from him in this, that, because of this difference, you should enfranchise one and make slaves of the other; aud tho very fact that there is a dif ference in the sexes, the very fact that men are unlike women, utterly disqualifies men for legis lating for women. Mrs. Livcrmore contended that women had shown their ability to govern by their govern ment of families, and quoted from the essay of John Stuart Mill on the subjection of woman in support of her position; and how is it kuown that they have no capacity to govern when an opportunity has not been offered them of trying the experiment t v hut women asK is to nave those disabilities removed, aud that they be placed on a perfect legal aud social equality with men.

The members of the opposition to the Serrano Government assailed tho Sickles despatch with the object of embarrassing tue Regency, as well as to prevent, if possible, any arrangement with the Executive in Washington. A statement which has been pretty exten sively circulated here to the effect that England, France and Austria will coalesce with tho inten tion of sustaining the ' rights of Spain" in Cuba, is denied.

Gen. fihcrmnn, on examination, found authority to extend the time four days, and telegraphed an order to Reynolds last night.

The Escnpe, Pnrnnlt, nnd Capture of an Expe dition imcnoeii tor iiiun. The New Bedford (Mass.) Standard of Tuesday evening has the following nccount. of the escape, pursuit, ana capture ot a uuuusteriug expedition intended for Cuba: d, nnrtv nf nlintit thlrfv aailnra nrrlirA.1 In thta ptf.v by the evening train from lioston, by way of Taun ton, on Monday, who appeared to be In command of one of their number, a (lerman. They took supper at ine .Mansion iiouse, ami tne nea i man was active during the evening endeavoring to charter some small vessel, generally stating that he was going ou a fishing excursion to Noimin's Land with a party, but sometimes representing that he wished to bo put on a vessel outside. "Captain Cobb, of the pilot-boat Hornet, had his suspicious excited, and politely Informed Mr. Ger man that he was not lu the habit of taking fishing parties out at night. "He waited some time for the yacht Manersing to arrive, Intending to go In that vessel, but finally made urrangeiiieuts to be takeu out iu the pilot-boat Penekese. "About 9 o'clock two men, who probably belonged to the party, went Into Tucker & Cununing's store and bought two barrels of crackers and two hams, requesting that they should be delivered to order at a wharf not then named, some time between then and midnight. Mr. Kben Nye, who was In attend ance, declined to take so much trouble about de livery, and the goods were left temporarily at the St. James' Hotel. "Tlio tirst Intimation tho olllclals hero had of the presence of such a body of men lu the city was when they were going down Union street to embark. Sumo members of the city watch endeavored to learn where they were going, but ttiey were not very com municative, aud their commander forbade tliein to hold conversation with auy oue. "At the wharf two of their number refused to go any further, and the remainder sailed uhrat halt past 11 o'clock. Captain FlamWrs, master of the Penekese, did not go with her, aud she sailed In charge of his son, John F. 1'lauders, aud two or three men. "The men who remained behind stated that they had shipped In lioston to go on a cruise to the West Indies, and were to be taken on board a steamer from this port, lint they had become BalisUed, from what had leaked out among tlie gang, that they were going into the Cuban service, and therefore with drew from the expedition, wishing to sail only under the American flag. They give the mimes of Cieorge Pradshaw, of Philadelphia, aud William Long, of New York. 'I hey are now locked up lu tho Central Police Station. "The excited Imagination of the watchmen swelled the number of the party to ninety, aud Collector Grlnnell, Captain Hall, of revenue cutter Active, United States Deputy Marshal Cobb, Captain Hurl but, olticer of the watch, aud Mayor Pierce, were immediately notified. "The cutter, on account of injuries received la the gale, was not iu condition to go in pursuit, aud as soon as possible steam was got up in the boiler of the propeller Helen AiiRUStu, the cutter's crew was transferred to her, and ten men from the city watch were armed and went on hoard. The pursuing ex pedition was commanded by Collector (irlnuell, with Captain Call and Lieutenants Pease and Charl ton of tho cutter. Deputy Marshal Cobb did not go, his duties as shell II demanding Ills presence at the Superior Court lu Taunton to-day. "The steamer got away about two hours arter tho Penekese, and at daybreak spoke tho Hornet near the Vineyard Sound light vessel. Learning from on board that vessel that the Penekese lud trniie through (Quick's Hole, tho steamer passed between the Islands of Penekese and Cuttyhtiiik, nnd along the north shore of Nashawena, and coming ft the hole, a small schooner, thought to be the Penekese, was deicried near (jay Head. "The steamer went in chase, and coming up with her between Way Head and Numan's 1itid, she proved to lie the riht vessel and was taken In charge und brought to this port, where the arrlva". of the steamer about 1 o'clock tills afternoon was the signal lor hundreds of penpl to Una tlio wharves to get a sight ol the prize and the prisoners. " I he supposed llllliustcrs had no doubt made ar rangements to meet a Kteamer outside, but the plans had falh d to co-operate. Some of them ex pressed great indignation ut the breaking up of their 'Hulling party,' and oue fellow declared his intention of bringing suit, laying damages at Jao.oul). "The circumstances of the'ease are suspicious, but It is ditlieull to conceive on what charge the men cuu be held. Thej are now on b iard the Penekese, ut anchor near tlie cu iter, aud Flanders is In cus tody on bourd the cutter. "A telegram was received from Colonel Hutch about noon, directing the police to hold liroilshaw and Long till lie Bhould arrive with a warrant for their arrest. "The atrair has caused considerable excitement in town, and many citizens, whllu the steamer was absent, openly expressed a hope that tho men would escupe. The Tribune' Washington correspondent telegraphs: "I have the best authority for stutiug positively that the Chiucse mission has been tendered to ex-Senator Frellnghuyson, of New Jersey, and by him declined." Asa Packer, tho Democratic candidate for Governor in Pennsylvania, is accused of bolting the Democratic nominee for Judge of the Su- Ere mo Court, some eighteen years since, bocause e was a Catholic; fourteen years ago he trained with the Know-Nothings; and nine years ago he bolted Stephen A. Douglas, and went for Breck inridge, the candidate of secession and rebellion.

( The purchases of United States securities In New York jesterday, on Treasury account, brought out offerings of over six millions. The issues bought were 66s and 07s, at 118 i4k'llt)V The large amount of the otrerlngs on the occasion coun teracted entirely the influence of the purchase, anil tho prices fell off In consequence; und, although a slight reaction took place previous to the close of the day, It failed to restore the market to the closing point of the previous clay. There Is a manifest weak feeling in tne Gov ernment loan market in all the large money centres, and were it not for the regular with withdrawals from the market on the sinking fund aTmnt, there can be no dtubt that the heavy supply afloat would have a weakening effect on prices. In our city there ap pears to be no disposition to Invest or speculate in Government bonds, ami prices are entirely controlled by Wall street. Money Is active to-day, and de cidedly scarce, though rates con luue unchanged. Gold opened rather string at I30tf, with no fluc tuations of moment from that figure. Governments are inactive, but yesterday's closlog prices are so far maintained. The Stock market Is without Improvement, and prices have a downward tendency. State loans were neglected. City Blxes were steady at 101,' for the new and 97 for the old Issues.
