THE MITRAGES IN -
The righteous indignation! .which
is so universtkwith our people' over
the. Spanish bi,utalities, reminds one
of the feeling which_penetrated and
took possessism of the heart of the
North, on that day in tha autumn of
1860, when a rebellibus gun fired on
Fort Sumpter. The feeling has in
creased in intensity, for eact des
.pateh from Havana seems to !add to
the enormity of the crime. ; Many
journals- it is true have taken the
part of demagogues in'their discus
sions of the';stibject; but• a joiiinal as
reliable and cool in its discussions as
the -Euening Post speaks of Spanish
Cuba n these wordel:
There no altenmtive ;I but to
topple their infamons and impotent
provincial government :into the sea,
and take possession: in.tiin - Inaine of
outraged humanity.'!',=
Tilt State Tanners' Association
niet in Harrisburg last week. The
foll Owing statistics. Which were glean
ed from the reports of the Convention
are of interest: The tanneries of
Pennsylvania represent a capital of
about $12,000,000 and a yearly busi
ness of $40,000,000. There fare near
ly 900 establishments in the State,
whose products realize to the. owners
annual receipts ranging froth $25,000
to $500,000.
The State Tanners' , A4pciation
•
was organized last summeri with a
membership of probably 0, whidt
nrimber has been increasedd to about
1 •
7,p, 22 new firms having signed the
constitution recently. The Members
of the association represented nearly
half, the tanning capital and busi
ness of the State and 'conSiderably
more than that proportion of the oak
tanning interests. Very feW manu
facturers of leather from Itorulock
bark are members of the association.
ME
The largest tannery in !the State
and country is located in,F4 county.
With it are connected aboutl,ooo
vats, while the average is 100. A car
load of leather is turned out daily,
and the business of, the manufactory
amounts to several milli* yearly.
Extensive tanneries aro:alio / located
• . 1
at Shippeusburg , Lewistown,
Phila
delphia and other points.
The annual capacity of the tanner
ies represented in the State associa
tion is about 318,000 hides',l and the
products of last year amounted to
nearly $00,060-two-thirds domestic
and one-third. South American. The
insurance is about $800,0061 and dur
ing the past five 3 ears the lasses have
reached $28,000, and the amount paid
. tolinsarance companies ovr,r
.$50,000,
TI\TFTr Wonni.—The Glizphic has
the folloWing timely Word; of cour
age : "Itis the clear ditty of the
country press to make a vigorous and
united effort to' restore Public Confi
dence. Web .tie bad our panic and
and
4creaping its effects, but there is no
reason -why there should be this
long-c.ontinucd fear Of Undefinable
Jut calamity. Every One knows
that ~ our crops are abunciand—more
so, probably, than they have been
for yf.ars. Ctn. coal mines, timber
and cotton fields lhwve. not
suffded from the partici ? I I and the
wants of
.people eyerywhete remain . '
the same that they were tWo months
ago. Europe,naust have: our grain,
and. our MVn people must have the
products of ! our mannfacturies.
There is no reason that cotton mills
and locomotive !works should- close
their doors,- as thoUgh!clOthing and
locomotives were. never !again to be
in, use. - If necessary, let' prices and
wages be adjusted in accordance with
the new conditions brought! about, by
the panic, 'and let mills inn on hall
time; but do.. not let! us PtJesent the
I •
spectacle of a people too Much fright
enened to do anything but stare - one
-another idly in tlie face;; and thus
bring about the distress that a-little
coolness and courage can avoid.
,
There is abundance of 'werk•for eve
ryone in this enUntry; land if the
.1
press does its, part to revive courage
and.
.confidence, so. that capitalists
and workingmen will resume' qabor,.
we need dread no further financial
panic."
After - nearly two yeari 'of effort,
TWEED, of New York, has
been convicted of frand ori 204 dif
ferent counts., The virdict and the
prompt manner in whiehl it r r was ren
dered, augurs abetter state of affairs
at the Metropolis. It IS hoped
TWEED'S conviction may I followed
by that of his comprinions in crime.
The New York papers ;reflect the
surprise produced by Jim verdict;
The Poz.lt, under the head of. "Justice
N 64. -Dead," says: " Ev,erY ; lover. ;of
his country, every one anxious to see
society, advance in good' ways, every.
reformer of politics, will 'rejoice that
the_ reform, begun so spontaneously
and earnestly,tWo years ago by the
people, is not to be withoutits final
,
fanit."
The Conintercial says: So after
two years of struggle, the, respon
sibility for some of the stupendous
operations in' and around the City
Hall, is fixed by u legal adjudication."
•. The Express says: -" The verdict is
a jest one, and the jury has' honoied
I . 1
itself."
Sous of our exchanges area laboring

HANANA,,Nor;IS.--The news of the
Virginias having fallenlintOthe hands
of the Spaniards, was received here
on the morning; of thi sth. - By the
Peninsulars ,it - was - ailed with the
most.demonatrative :j , y, but the Cu

consternation.: At o n e it' was over

On the afternoon =o the 31st, the
Tornado corvette, wit' ecraising near
the Aserradere, sigh ed
,A steamer
whose appearance 100 -ed suspicions,
and at 2:30 the cha e commenced,
the Tornado going t the rate of
thirteen or , fourteen not an hour.
and gaining steadily on the flying
steamer. - Night came on, but the
moon shed: her light oyer the waters,
and made the forms of both Vessels
distinctly: visible. Tlizt chase lasted
until ten at night, and, by this l time
the steamer was within cannon-shot
of the Tornado. The' corvette then
fired a gun as a smite:ions lor , surren
der, but - no notice w taken,
al t
Three
or four otheralollowe and the cap.
tare was. complete, being effected .
Within a very' short distance of the
Jamaica coast. The commander of
I the Tornodo gives it t twenty miles.
. -Not the slightestrestance was of
fered by those on lin d the Virgin , .
iris I ; all were made prisoners, and .
brought on Ward the, Tornado. The
Spauiarda say that ,When, Barnabb
Varona came on board he expressed
a desire to speak with the Spanish
commander, and his reqtiest having
been granted, spoke as follows : " I
congratulate .you on the capture
which you have just matle, and the
importance of which you cannot well
Appreciate in this moment. You are
not aware of the Materials which we
were bringing, nor,:dO you know the
effect which they would Nave prodne

the vessel, and hama, tallow, and pe
troleum were used: for the furnaces
I
in the vain endeavO to escape. This
has redneed the Val e of :the prize to
the steamer rind pri over . ,. The Tor
nado, with her prize in tow, arrived
in Santiago de Cuba about 5 e. m., on
the Ist ;inst., and the; excitement
when the capture beam known may
be imagined. People scarcely knew
what to do, perhaps 'from .the abso 7 ,
lute want of prac.ice in reeeivingl
such trophies. Steamere with steam'
up blew .their whisqes, all rungbells,
and sevcral Crewe: cheered. At in
lt
tervals,.the Spanis vessels: in the
harbor hoisted : nor© flags, as '
fast as they , could hunt them up. The
chief demonstration; was made by the
Dan Juan deAustla, a sort of-cross
between `a gunboat and a bathing
machine; and only remarkable for its
extreme antiquity; IThii noble vessel
fired file gnus; no doubt to celebeatei
the capture and its own retirement
into-private life until the next expel
dition. The VirgiUius was brought
in with the - Spanish flag flying„the
c h
American flag, whi 4 had been hoist=
ed during the Chas ', being twisted
about Ili; t:4lrail. On the return to
Santiago, it was found that she was
making so much' water that it was
necessary to run her on shore.
The prisoners' trial as pirates was
conameneed in con t-mtirtial ou the
morning of the 2d, and iby the time
the news of the ca tutu, reached us
in Havana, the fate of four was de

Theat remarkable featare of
the c a re of the Virginhie, iii* the
absolute non-resistance of her crew
when overhauled by- the Tornado.
But one account of the chase and
capture has been m ale public. These
facts were all gleaned from Spanish
eonrees, for the men on the Virginias
were not allowed to speak, audit is
e, question for the future to' decide
whether the few who still survive the
'Spanish hatchery will ever; havo, an
opportunity 'to give - their version of
the gloomy' tragedy ti) the world.
The Tornado, which made 14the,
Capture . , was cruising on the 31st of
betober, under sail, about ei ° hteen
miles-from the Cuban Coast. ,In - ttlie
iifternoon : she sighted a steamer
about six miles distant heading to
;ward herb The Captain at' one° or-
Fdered steam to be got up, and Soon
observed that the strange steamer
!had- altered her course and headed
for the coast of Jamaica, distant
about 100 miles. i
The Spanish Captain at . once sus
pected•from this unusual proceeding
that the steamer was the 'Virginias.
He ordered the engineers to get ,up
all the steam possible, oven if, they
burst the' boilers, and to 'drive the
engines at their utmost speed.
The Tornado, under full headway,
showed such speed that it ',was !clear
in a long chase she _would certainly
overhaul the stranger. She gained
_ .
steadily on her, but 'as night
was coming, the Spanish Captain
feared he would lose ,sight Of theNes
sel.. The moon, rising, hOwever he
was enabled; by keePing all hands
on deck, at the masthead. 'Find in•the
rigging, to keep - a- sharp
; lookout.
The steamer was kept in sight ; until
the corvette had neared Iher • surd
ciently to.bring her guns .to bear on
her'` .
beene on the deek cif the
Spaniard was , ono of intbaso excite
ment. The fugitive steamer, for it
was noiv,quita evident that for ss , liat . -
eierxeasun she was very anxieus to
escape, was observed to throw ;cargo
overboard, and empty bcx.s and oili
er material floated past the SPani , ird.
A shot *as fired, but the stianger
made no reply, and four others were
fired in succession. The last; shot
was `fired at 10 P. M., and iMmodiatelY
the steamer, which- had led the cor
vette tichase of nearly eight hours,
hove to:
Two boats were - loWered and
manned 2nd ptillcd alongside. ; They
met with no resistance in , - boarding
the steamer, which they had now .
discovered, bevond a cloulit,! to ;be the
Virginius. They look pOSsui•ion of
her , by hauling down the American
flag, which . tho VirginiuS had dis
played throughout the eliae,
hoisted the Spanish ilag instead.
Capt. Fry,. of the Virginius,lin the
uslial manner,- handed Lover the
steamer's papers for the *ruination
of the officer . in:command of the
