Lima, Jan. ‘27th, 1868.—Since the departure of
the last mall for the United States, political mat
ters have assumed a comparatively settled fea
ture. The Vice President, and now highest au
thority In the Kepubllc.-Geueral Canseco, la ex
pected In this city to-morrow, wltjt 3,500 men,
coming from Arcqulpa.
AH prisoners of war from the North' and tire
South have had their liberty restored, and the
positive triumph of the revolution has been pro-7
claimed. Colonel Balta arrived the day be
fore yesterday, and was received at CallSb as
well as here with loud'acclamations,'which gave.
ample proof of his popularity, The : Civil war
has not terminated without sanguinary conflicts
in Arica, Iqniquct and Pnno-, which took
place after Prado had been routed, but before
his men knew anything about it. In Puno,
Colonel Bustamente, an Indian, well known
under, the name of the “Traveler,” for having
been in Europe, the East, and In America, who
wasln hopes to become the chief of tho men
ot his race, had succeeded In tallying a consider*
: ‘ ble number of them;, he attacked, with them
tho settlements of the whites lh the insurrection
ary districts. Now the Indians despise the gov
ernment of Colonel Prado, sinceTiKe death of
General Castjlio, who was their Idol, And who
died during the lost year's campaign against the
last government. Tney also paus Prado becauso
he has treated them with much severity. In order
therefore to induce tbo'lndians td fight; BOsta
mente gavo them to underatand that the white
men were defending Prado, and that they had to ‘
attack them in order to avenge the death of - Cas
tllio. The conaequencQ was that the Indians en
tered the city of Puno, after a short eucountor
with the small garrison of the place,.and. deliv
ered themselves to-all kinds .of excesses and
:l£D.
Some time ago, General Pope, then comman
der of tbi6 Military District, issued general orders
to the effect that whenever It was desired that
meetings for political purposes should be held
within the limits pi the city of Savannah, that a
notification of that design should be made to the
Commander of tho Post, as also to the eivil au
thorities, the said order compelling the attend
ance of,, the city and county sheriff, and each
police force as might be requisite to secure order.
In the face of this plain order, published offi
daily, and an ordinance of the City Council,
agreeably thereto, some evil-designing persons
organized a mass meeting of negroes to be held
in Chippewa Bquare,yesterday afternoon,without
notifying either the civil or military powers. Thev
erected a stand, provided the speakers for the oc
casion, and congregated a large crowd of excited
negroes npon the spot. This state of facts coming
officially to the notice of the authorities, an order
was issued by his Honor the Mayor, for the dis
persion of the crowd, which was promptly ex
ecuted by the notice force, ana the square
cleaned or the tumultuous assembly. The ne
groes then atsembled at an African wretch,called
“Andrew Chapel," on New street, and re-orga
nized,their meeting. Notice of this fact being
.also brought to the attention of the authorities,
another order was leaned, directing the Chief , of
Police to investigate the fact, and If any unlawful
assembly had gathered to adjourn the same.
Accordingly, General Anderson, accompanied
by five ..officers, vClted the place .and found a
very f excited crowd of negroes assembled at
the mrarch. He ordcred thc adjournment of
the meeting and the dispersion of the crowd,
.which commenced a furiuus attack upon the little
squad; which was coptinned nntU reinforcements
arrived front the Barraoks; then the fight became
general, pistols,rocks and clubs were freely used,
until finally the rioters wetb dispersed, and some
twenty-six arrested and carried to.the Barracks.
Lieutenant Beil,’-of the police force, received a se
vere flesh wouud lu the leg from a pistol shot
fired by one of the rioters, as also a wound in the
bead with a rock; ,he. however, remained at his
post until overcome and faint from loss of blood .
Lieutenant Hqward was knocked senseless by
a blow in the bead with a rock, and which Uked
to have proved fatal. Be was carried Into quar
ters and his wound dressed. Sergeant Khrinrhad
a eevere encounter with,oae of the ringleaders,
and was slightly ryounded.- We haveheardt, of
but one negro being shot, but as thfito Arefe at
least forty shots exchanged between the opposing
forces; we should not be surprised to learn or
more casualties, ... - ,•*./» i
•H. H, Eden, William Wallace and Aaron Gray
son, appeared to have acted the moßt’Conspicu
ous part ln Jhe disgraceful affair. There are
others who were prominent In the riotous pro-'
ceeditg, but they have succeeded Inescaplng thus
far. The wildest ruiuoi6 were prevslent lawjyea-
atrocities against the wbltb population, when the
news of Prado’s defeat arrived. It was fortunate
that this news did arrive,, for Bostamento in
tended to withdraw with hia mett. because he was
afraid of being attacked by the victorious patty.
But he could not do it without the Indians dis
covering that Bustamente had tried to
decleve them by assuring them that
they were fighting against Prado,
and that he was advancing their cause. The In
dians made their escape with him; but when they
afterwards considered themselves in safety, in the
wood of Urcuhbani, thoy rose In rebellion against.
theft chief, Bustamente, and put him-to death
With their lances, and took his aids-along as
prisoners. This la- the way BustamAhte’s en

which, if it had been successful, would have been
the ruin and death of many more unfortunate
persons inhabiting tips country. ,
CRIME.
An Ohio Borsla-Wbaleilals Poison
ing—A UreMlnl story*
The CteveGad Herald of Saturday has the fol
lowing*.
“Close upon the heels of the terrible Parquet
- poisoning case in this city, in which a coroner's
jury has just found that a brother came tohls
death by poison at the hands of his sister, comes
a new honor from Summit county, not less
shocking in its details, if suspicion be well
founded? than the case here. The tacts are briefly
these:
"On a little farm in what is known as Jobnny-
Cake Lock, in Boston township, Summit county,
on the canal, lived an old farmer: and his wife,
both of them sixty years of age—perhaps more.
The old couple have not lived happily for years,
and the w oman seems to have been suspected of
having a passion for poison. At .all events, a
daughter pas on two occasions, fearful of the re
sult of some of her mother's frequent fits of pas
sion. hidden away poison that the old lady had in
the house. In the . latter part of August last,
the old man for some reason proposed to sell his
farm and other property at public sale, and ap
pointed the time, September 10, on a Tuesday,
tie wanted an assistant in the sale, and sent for a
young man named James Powles to act in that
capacity. • The young man arrived at the fajm on
Sunday afternoon previous to the Tuesday ap
pointed for the sale. The old farmer was not
feeling well, and was found lying out of doors on
the grass vomiting. lie had not been well for
some days.
“A week or so before, be and a young man
living with him ate breakfast as usual one moan
ing, iheoUl lady not having much appetite, and
declining to join them l in the meat Imm edi
cts-Jyaf ter breakfast, the old man and young one
were taken with vomiting. The old man was
consequently not well for, some days, and sent
for a hoy to help him do bis chores. The first time
the boy ate breakfast there he was also attacked
with vomiting, and the old man was also visited
by a return of his former trouble. On, the
Sunday of the arrival of young Powles, the old
lady had got up a dinner of chicken; the old man,
however, was too ill to eat, and Powles setdown
lo dinntr, eating bpartUy of the chicken and of
tbe'breadon the table; Be Was also' Attacked
with vomltug and violent pains, and next day
be died and was-trailed. Dr. Pixley, one of the
best physicians in' this part of the State, knew of
the circumstances, bat ids suspicions were not
especially arointed. ' ’
“finally.' the old man, being puzzled to ac
count for ibis strange Sickness in his house, at
tacking every one except his, wife, communi
cated tbciactS to somc nelghhor, and was ad
vised to throw away all the flour, milk and other
eatables in tho house, and begin with a new sup
ply. He threw a quantity of bread, amoDg other
things, into his bog-pen, and next morning was
astonished to find that his hog was dead, and
also half a dozen hens that had been eatiDg the
tiread thrown away.
“Nt< investigation wns mado, however, and as
matters went on,' the strange affair became, of
course, the staple of talk among the country
gossips. About ten days ago, for .some reason
with which we are unacquainted, the body of
young Powles was exhumed and examined. The
stomach was takes out, and with some of the
bread that bad killed the pig and bens, brought
to this city by the coroner.©! the county and sub
mitted to Professor Ca&sels for chemical analysis.
Professor Casscls has not yet concluded bis ex
amination. The case is a very singular one, and
almost as remarkable in point of the length of
lime elapsing between the death and the exami
nation as the Parquet case here. Of course the
suspicion now is that the old lady administered
the poison in the bread on her table. A coroner’s
mqnest has been held, bnt the result—if a result
has been reached yet—is -unknown. Probably
the jury will await Professor Cassers testimony
after his examination before making a verdict."

Heavy Defalcation In Hew Vork- Tlic
. American licbungcßanti Mobbed.
i 1 (FYom todaxieN.V. Tribime.!
- The report-of a heavy defalcation in the Amt
- rican Exchange Bank created much excitement
in Vynll street yesterday morning, and many anx
ious depositors and stockholders made haste to
learn the facts of what was then believed to be a
serious deficit In the cash account. It was soon
ascertained, however,that although 3ome trifling
irregularities hAd- been < committed, they - Were
greatly exaggerated by rumor, andlhc ®600,000
was reduced to an amount so email as to be of
trifling consequence to .the bank. ; We have
• made carCfnl., Inquiries concerning. the mat
ter, and ore pleased to learn that the
story has so little foundation. The difficulties
originated with the and 1 might
have resulted in a serious complication of the
accounts had they not been discovered and
checked, by ffie : officers. Tho distinct under
standing between the directors and employes of
a bank fa that the latter shall not, At any time, or
under any circumstances; speculate m stocks.
Kno*ing this, the Assistan t cashier, who Appears
id have been more anxious for wealth than wise
in the choice of means ■by which to attain it,
yielded to the temptation for stock gambling and
engaged in some pjdtty extensive operations in
Wall street, tbroggb the agency of a well-known
'broker.'. His Ventures appear to have been un
successful,, and jnst as he had begun’ to avail
b)mselfbl the facilities afforded by his position,
the fact came to the notice of the directors, and
the officer was promptly removed. The actual
loss to the bank will not exceed, If it equals, $60,-
. 000, which, to such a reliable and wealthy institu
tion, is a matter of bnt little- consequence. That
this amount would have soqn been greatly in
creased is almost certain; and the vigilance of the
officers of the bank in detecting these irregulari
ties in time to prevent their becoming more
serious, is worthy of imitation by all those who
have the management of financial institutions.
The temptations to -speculate naturally affects
those first who deal largely in money ;
and when once it Is yieldcd to there is no esti
mating the evil consequences that follow. Those
who are connected With monetary institutions
should appreciate the fact that they have no right
to speculate even with their own money, for
when the excitement of stock gambling gets the
better of their calm judgment, .there is no stop
ping Bhort of absolute ruin or a miraculous suc
cess which cannot ire depended on. Gentlemen
tilling these laborious and salaried positions are
not, as a rule, men of large means, and we have
yet to know of onewho has ever held his own in
the end' unless he wob able to bear np under se
rious losses at the commencement This is a
truth that bank officers would do well to remem
ber when taking the risks of buying long or
short in the street.

A Book VktablUluncnt : Darned—Loss
Over 5200,000.
[From the Pittebargh Gazette, Feb. 10th.]
One of the most destructive fires that has oc
curred in the cltyfor several years took place
yesterday morning, between three and four
o’clock.- Those fine buildings on Fourth street,
among which was A.. H, English,<fcCo.'s, Book
Bindery and Printing ’ establishment, was left tn
ruins, involving a loss of at least two hundred
thonsand dollars worth of property. ‘ "
Abont one o'clock in the morning Lieutenant
Wilmot, of the police force, who was on duty at
ibe time, discovered smoke issuing from tbe
press-room, which was in the basement of Eng
lish & Co.’s establishment, r.->d at once comma
ninicated the tact to,the Central office of the Fire
Alarm Telegraph, from which the alarm was
sounded. Toe fire department answered the call
promptly, and in a few moments the fire was ex
tlngnfshcd. The Assistant Engineer then lett the
place in charge of the Fire Marshal and police,
with instructions to the police to remain and
•keep watch over it until the proprietors arrived.
Between three and four o’clock the policemen
who bad remained in the building, hearing an
unusual noise, went .to the front do r,
when they discovered flames issuing from the
third story of the building adjoining, which was
also occupied by English <fc (jo., and about the
same time the operator at the Central office dis
covered the fire and gave the alarm; but before
tbe engines could get Into service, the flames had
made such rapid progress that it was a
matter of impossibility to save the build
ing. From it the flames were co' muni
cafed to the main - building of the firm,
which was a fonr-story brick with an iron front,
the basement of which was occupied as a press
room, the street floor by George E. Knott & Co.
as a wholesale shoe store, the remainder by Eng
lish & Co., as a book binding and printing es
tablishment, and in less than half an honr the
entire building was a mass of ruins. The next
house that fell a prey to the devouring element
was that owned by C. H. P&nlson and occupied
by John D, Bailey, real estate agent, as
an office, and dwelling, a three-story
brick adjoining the book establishment,
which was totally destroyed. So rapidly did the
tlamqs advance that Mr. Bailey , was barely en
abled to get his wife and children from the burn
ing building, not even allowing them time to
.dress themselves. By this time the flames had
reached the building next adjoining Mr. Bailey’s,
which was occupied by Mrs. Thorn, and owned
by Mrs.Patilson, bdruiDgeveiy thing in the second
and third stories, including a . fine piano.
Tbe adjoining building, owneti and occupied by
R. D.-Brucklocher, tailor, was slightly damaged.
In addition to tbe destruction or tbe two build
ings, which were valued at $45,000, the losses of
Messrs. English & Co. will not fall short of $75,-
CQO. Their entire stock of books, paper, &c.,nos
verv heavy, and was estimated at $25,000, while
tbeir machinery, consisting of three first class
Adams presses, two Impression presses, one
hydraulic press, two ruling machines, three fold
ing machines, one cutting machine, and a large
quantity of other valuable machinery, including
tbe engine, was worth folly $5,000.
The firm of A. H. English & Co. are insured
to the amount of $44,000, in the following com
panies: /Etna, Hartford, $12,000: Putnam, Con
necticut, $2,500; Girard; Philadelphia, $3,600;
Government, New York, $8,000; Albany, New
York. $3,000; Enterprise, Cincinnati, $3,000; Al
bany City, New York, $2,500: Columbia, Penn
sylvania, $2,500; Astor, New York, $4,500; Intere
nattonaLNew. Yorit, $6,000; Cumberland Valley
Mutnal, Pennsylvania, $2,50Q. Mr. John D. Bal
lsy was insured in a Pittsburgh company for $2,-
500., His loss will overreach that amount con
siderably. The fosses on the remainder of the
property destroyed were fully covered by insur
ance. : ",
- Steamship Accidents*
Messrs. Mclver, the Liverpool shipowners,
have successfully defended an action brought
iiguinst them by Mr. Fox, a gentleman ofYork
abire, who was severely, injured whilst taking a
passage to America on board the Scotia. Whilst
(he Beotia was at anchor, at Queenstown. Mr.'
Fox eat on.deck reading, and when the dinner
bell rang, In. his hutry.,4o reach the dining
salooni ho mistook his wav, and tumbled
through an open hatchway Into the Icehouse.
For the defence It was shown by Captain Jud
kins; the commander of the Beotia, that he had
commanded that vessel for six yeats,. and had
during that time conveyed 25,570 passengers
across the Atlantic without a single accident, In
,a vessel taking In cargo it was inevitable that
the hatchways should be open.- Md
onght themselves to not with reasonable caution.
Thelniy held the defence good,- and found for

A Programme (or the Democracy.
The La Crosse Itemocrat, a leading organ of the
party.ln Wisconsin, presents the,following pleas
ant plan of proceedings for the Democracy:
■., . “ LET THE SOUTH ORGANIZE. ,
“ We are pleased to sec movements commenced
for Democratic organization in the South. It is
important that this should be done early and well.
Every Southern State sbonld.be fully represented

„ neighbors the same degradation.

of the North and will stand by them.
“Let not the voles of the Southern delegates

i “Men of the South, be true to them who have
been true to you when it involved peril of perso
nal violence, destruction of property, unlawful
imprisonment, and even death itself by mob law
or illegal military commissions. .
“Set aside aljjioUcy men who barter principle
for spfetyor office,for tjieyhave failed-you in the
past and will betray yon in tbe future.
“The surest .Way for you and us to win is to put
in nomination the boldest and most radical
Democrats who can be fonnd.
• “The people are groaning under mongrel rule.
They want a change. The change they want Is
one that will bring them relief. It must be radi

agitating the public nuutl. Tney want to Stop at
no half-way house between mongrellsm and

“We want men for President and Vice Presi

daring! who, if they receive a majority of the
white votes of the United States, including yours,
men of tbe South, will march to Washington, at
the head of, and backed by, the white men of
America, and take their seats, and re-ln 1 . >ngurate

must be counted, and as that vote shall show,
together with the votes cast by the white, men of
the North. a majority for or against our candi

stand and be carried out! '
‘ID this bring bloodshed, then let blood Jloie!
“If this carries war into the manufacturing dis

The i.alc JolinJllenrj-, Son of Patrick
'Henry.
The death of this gentleman at his patrimonial
seat in Charlotte county, Virginia, has already
been announced, and speaking of him the Nor
folk Journal, of a late date, says:
’ At the death of Patrick Henry, his eon John,
whose death has just- occurred, w4s only two
years old, and he retained no recollection of bis
father; but to his dying hour he cheris6fed an ar
dent affection for his; memory, preserving all the
relies of the patriot with rellgionß care, and de
fended it against all the misrepresentations which
the heated partisans of an era subsequent to the
revolution were disposed to lay at his door.
Among these relics we remember a small pen
knife which the uncle of the orator gave him
when he was a boy, and which he wore In his
waistcoat pocket tohls dying day. .
A visit to Bed Hill when John Henry was in
the tidiness of his health, and before the raging
of that terrible storm which has prostrated the
fortunes of, the South, wass,day ever to be re
membered by the recipients bf the courtesies of
that hospitable mansion. Its position on the
brow of a hilt was all that eonld be wished.- As
vou looked southward, yon heard on the right a
clashing little mountain stream breaking its Irreg
ular way to tha Stanton; and before yon, stretch
ing far and wide, and bounded by the Stanton;
wne several hundred acres of rich, low grounds
teemlDg ; with crops of corn, wheat, and to
bacco; and yet beyood were the bine hills of Hali
fax, rising from the banks of the stream, but not
obstructing a view of the South as for as the eye
could reach., Of the refined and genial hospitali
ties, of that homestead, none who ever shared
them will ever be unmindful. And then as the
evening shadows were lolling, that visit with the
family to the grave of our great patriot) who lay
beside his. wife and'a famUyqf se.veral genera
tions, closed most fittingly one of the most inter
esting days in the life ofthevlßltor.
It was not the disposition of Mr. John Henry
life. In the
employments of bis beautlfal plantation, In the
rearing of a large andlntelllgent family, and in
the gentle and generous pursuits of literature, he
spent a peaceful and honorable life. .

Sudden Death of a Japanese-myste
rious Occurrence.
[From tie N. Y. Post, of Feb. 10.]
Ha-yah-ta-hee, the leader of the Japanese
troupe recently arrived In this city, died at No.
20 Bieecker street on Saturday evening, of heart
disease. His death is said to nave been snperin
dneed by a dispute between himself and Mr. De
Rosa. his manager and interpreter. This report
is contradicted by Dr. Simmonds, the attending
physician, who says it is not probable thatfla
yah-.ta-kee would have lived till morning.
His relations with Mr. De Rosa were of the
most friendly character. A croof of this was
given by the dying request of Ha-yah-la-keo,who
consigned his family to Mr. De Rosa’er can and
protection while they remain in this county. The
body was taken to Greenwood Cemetery abont
■ halt-past ten o’clock this morning for temporary
interment in the Btranger’s Receiving Tomb, No
funeral ceremonies, except the prayers and mo
notonous chanting of the relatives took place,
owing to the fact that no minister, of their faith
is in this country.
The company will not perform at present, their
religion requiring them to spend a month m pray
ers and funeral ceremonies oat of respect to the
mtinoiy of the dead. On the return of the tronpe
to their own conntty the body will be taken with
them. All of the Japanese, adults and children,
attended the body to the grave, together with a
small number of Americans.
. Jew Inlet on ttae New Jersey Coasts
The Tom River (N. J.) Courier makes an an
nouncement which many persons interested in
the coasting trade will be glad to hear. It is
almost certain that a new inlet to Barnegat Bay
from the ocean will soon be opened. The Courier
says:
“Just above the honse of Mr. Jacob Herbert
there is a very narrow neck. of beach wlth bold
and deep water on either side up to the beach.
Here the water of the Metedeconk also concen
trates all of its force, and would largely aid in
keeping it open so as to prove it successful. The
entrance from the upper bay to the lower one is
very narrow, and a bulkhead could be easily con
strnctedy giviii'g passage .to vessels, and. which
would also aid largely 'll! retaining a volume.of
water; tbht.wonld eerveto keep the inlet open,
we think, for all time.” ; -
■ If this new route is successfully opened, the
distance between New York and the towns on
Bamegat Bay will be materially lessened, and
vessels will no longer be compelled to pick their
way through the shoals of Bamegat Inlet.
Loaptear,
An exchange thus familiarly address&sJtself
to single men in a strain that will be equally
interesting to single ladies: Do you know
that this is leap year ? It is your year ot ju
bilee, wherein you may rest from the labor of
courting and sit back with your hands crossed
on your lap, and wait for propositions from
the fair sex. From time immemorial it has
been the custom for ladies to ask ail leading
questions one year in four. If any suffering
angel has been pining for you in secret,
you will be apt to find it out before
you are much older. Concealment, which,
like a worm in the bud, bps been feeding on
her dama&k cheek, will have to hunt np a
new boardingrbouse.
I suppose it is one of the wise provisions of
nature, this making us meu objects of interest
every fourth year, and if the designs of nature
are properly carried out, we may look for a
great many conjugal conjunctions in 18G8. It
is well known fo those who know anything
about it, that a 1 woman can do three times as
much courting in one year as a mm can in
three, and if the ladies avail themselves of
their rights and perform their proper func
tions, single beds and furnished lodgings will
become a drpg in the market before the year
is out.
Avoid trifling with the feelings of the gentle
beings who may desire to become overseers of
your happiness. Do not encourage hopes that
you know can never be realized. Do not,
suffer a young lady to exbend half her income
in concert tickets, French candy and buggy
rides, knowing at the time you receive those
attentions that she is not a congenial spirit.
When you once make up your mind that she
is not exactly the style of angel you would be
willing todomarketingfor,Break- the disas
trous Intelligence to her as gently and firmly
as possible. Assure her that you feel ex
tremely flattered by her preference, and that
you shall always esteem her as a friend. If
managed with skill there is no danger of the
rejection being accompanied with a sacrifice
of human life.
