i spectacle which wo were now approaching,,,
i In- the previous phases: of the eruption
| the -explosions followed each other va-
I pldly for Borne minutes, and then
ceased for intervals of various duration. But
on Friday there was a constant succession ot
explosions without any intervals of rest
Shot followed shot bo swiftly that the sound
of one had not time to die away when the
next occurred. The detonations were - dis

most deafening aswe, .approached the ,conp.
In theiMiiStisnnlighhthe - showers of < stones
whicit 'were ejected from the crater at each
explosion appeared black, and looked for au
the W otld. as tiiSV ascended and scattered m
thdair, like a flight of rooks ' suddenly dis
turbed!by a Bhot fired up into, the . rookery.
An. however, the sun descended behind
Ischia,land day waned- into twihght, the
rooks began to change their col<Jr'from_ black

from red to the most dazzling glow of incan

went up into - the air densd and
brilliant, like the play Jiuge
fiery fountain, and then fell back again partly >
into the gaping crater and partly in parabolic
curves aflaroandthe mountain.' So frequent
we fe the explosions that ’ the ascending . and
descending showers kept crossing pach Other ,
almost without intermission. I am afraid,

Vefialy believe that sueh an estimate wpaid
he rather under the mark than over it. Some
of the stones were of enormous bulk, prob
ably many tons in weight, and occupiedmore
than a minute in descending, reckoning, not
from thh moment of leaving the crater, but
frdmthe highest point of altitude, t Some fell
Straight back into” the crater, others hair
wav down the mountain, while not a few on
reaching the ground, rebounded, and went
thundering down the mountain in a senes of
leaps, sometimes reaching the bottom, and
sometimes breaking in pieces on the way and
dispersing in a. showey.of,fire. There is some
thing not only picturesque but awful in the
sight of a huge ball of fire down a
mountain through the darkness and solitude
of night! like some unearthly monster rush
ing on its prey. It is decidedly a case where
“distance lendß enchantment to the view;
and accordingly we (for I was accompanied
by two Mends and a guide) had not gone far
up the cone when we considered jt prudent
to retrace our steps, not at all relishing the
prospect of being hurled into empty space by
some stray shot from Vesuvius, -=»
. A beautiful stream of lava, not enmson like
the one I saw when I visited Vesuvius five
weeks ago, but bright like a clear flame, was
rushing down in a cataract from the summit
of the new cone and in the direction of Ot
taiauo. It decreased in speed as it approached
the bottom of the old cone, but even there its
rate of progress could not have been less than
four milpg an hourf It was about twenty feet
wide, and not very deep, haying no time to
accumulate, owing to the rapidity of its flow.
For the same reason there was no bank worth
speaking of on either side like the stream I
saw in the Atrio del Cavallo at my
former visit ‘ When the lava moves
slowly - it cools at the sides and on
the surface, and thus forms a sort of canal,
the bed of which is continually raised in con
sequence of the molten mass congealing
beneath the fiery stream, which, with uni
form action, pushes right and left the scorlse
that are floating on the surface. In this way
a regular dam" is at length thrown up, some
times to a considerable height,in which the
glowing stream flows on as quietly as any
millßtream. But when, as on Friday night,
the lava flows in a swift current it has no
time, to cool, and there being no barrier, it
gains in width what it loses in depth. When
it reached the Pianura del Cavallo—that is,
plane at the bottom of the cone looking to
wards Ottaiano—it spread out into a sort of
mimic estuary about 10 feet deep and some
50 feet wide. The progress of this was
something like 10 feet an hour. We
made our way towards it over an old
field of lavs, full of pits and fissures, rugged
i ridgeß and smooth‘patches inviting our foot
steps, and then, treacherously giving way,
under us, exactly like, an Alpine glacier. At
the foot of the lava stream We found a num
ber of people assembled, looking weird and
ghost-like from the curious combinations of
variegated lights and shadows which were
reflected from the fire-showers of Vesuvius
and from the. light of the lava stream. The
whole streani was striking and impressive
beyond all powers of description, and in some
respects quite different from that which ‘ I
witnessed on a previous occasion. I was
then shut in by the narrow gorge which sepa
rates Bomma from the cone of Vesuvius.
This no doubt, aided by a bleak ho wling
tempest, enhanced the terrible aspect of the
eruption; but it debarred nearly all the lovely
scenery which wooa the eye wherever it
tunfflwin this classic region. Now,. on,
the other hand, when the eye turned away
dazed from the splendors of Vesuvius, it
lighted on a picture of equal, if softer, beauty.
The lights of Nuceria, Ottaiano, and Bosco
glittered through the darkness of the valley
below, a few fights flickered here and there
among the ruinaof Pompeii, as if the manes
ofsomeofits lone-buried inhabitants loved
still to wander “at the “witching -hour of
night” among the haunts of their short-lived
revelries; while further on Castellmare and a
portion of Sorrento sparkled by the sea.
Overhead Vesuvius seat out a triumphal arch
of smoke beautifully illuminated by the re
flection from the crater and the lava stream,
and spanning the sky in the direction of Ca
pri, which could just be seen in outline loom--
mg on the horizon like some colossal lea
monster rising from the deep. In the midst
of this paradise of silent beauty Vesuvius
reared: its flaming head, and With ene ,contin

House.—Public bills -were cons dered.
In 18(13 a law was passed relating to landlords
and tenants, which declared in substance that
when houses were occupied by tenants (under
agreement with the landlord to perform labor
or service lor him), and the business relations
ceased between the landlord and tenant, the lat
ter could be ejected from the house on ten
days notice. An act to repeal this law was the
first thing considered by the House.
Messrs. Smith, of Allegheny, Chalfant, of Mon
tour, Edwards, of Lawrence, and Ford, of Alle-
I'henv, declared that under the operation of .tuts
Taw men and women had been turned out of
doors in midwinter in their districts on the occa
sion of certain strikes of miners and mechanics.
On one occasion, at Birmingham, in Allegheny
county, three thousand men hud collected to re
sist llie enforcement of this ‘‘Tioga law, ns is
was called. . .
The bill was passed to a second reading by 81
yeas to o nays. , . ~
Mr. Mann, of Potter, one of the three in the
minority, said that the bill was a good one, and
that the statements of its effect had been highly
colored. It was of agreement
between the landlord and tenant. When the bu
siness relations between them wore at an end it
was certainly right that tho landlord should have
the use of his house, and it was not right; that,
the tenant should continue to occupy property
upon which he had no iurther claim. . w
The House passed the repealing act without
again ealling-the-ycas and nays,—------- r - r -
The following joint resolution (offered origi
nally by Mr. Hickman, of Chester) was con
sidired: . . __
joint resolution instructing the Senators and re
questing the Representatives in Congress from
the State of Pennsylvania to urge upon the
attention of the General Government the pro
priety of establishing a line of steamships from
the States to Liberia, in Africa. .
. Whereas, By the benevolent and humane ef
forts of citizens of. the United States, acting
through the agency of the American Coloniza
tion Society, and in which the people; of, this
Slate have, largely, participated, settlements ot
©nr colored population have become .perma
nently established on the Western coast of ■ Africa.
And whereas, The growthof these settlement?,
and the prospect of their rapid Increase in tne
future, call for the exercise of greater power
than is.possessed by the said society; '
A nd whereas, The philanthropic efforts, of the
society are worthy of and ought to receive aid
and assistance from the Federal government;
therefore ; ‘ „

was offered that Philip F. Thomas, Senator elect from

the paternal roof snd servoas a rebel eoldler, and
furnished him with ode hundred dollarii to carryout
his purpose, all of which wee aid, romfort *nd en

Mr. 6mm of Ma»sachnsetto. rofeiTed to the

from Lord flste and other eminent Bngll*h aathorlttefl
on the qucetlon of mlepriaon of treason; also, the
.. statute on Crimea adopteo tn J'iOO, which Imposed a
punishment: "dot exceeding seven years. Or * line not
years' Imprisonment, to; reward; misprison of tren
eon with alx years in the councils of the nation. Ho
also quoted from Sallust, the act of . a Senator who,
when his son engaged In A conspiracy, ordcredhim
to be slain. Though Mr. Thomas shonld not have
slain hla son, heahoaldat least have given him up to
of Illinois, followed la tavor of the'
admission, denying that there was any evidence of
disloyalty on the part of Mr. Thomas before tocm.and
claiming that If he was to be excluded it should be
becauaehc did not poaaese tbonnaimcatlpn required
by the Constitution or laws. The Senate, lie said, wag
not passing upon an apootntmenVbat upon the selcc
tioowA%)ttor by on© of the States of the Uni ojl
He then took up the various allegations against Mr.
Thomas, of disloyalty durtng and just preceding the
war, heretofore disepssed, and the act or having fur
nished his son with the asserting Ws convic
tion that HwMdfctated aoWy by, paternal affection.
•He read 'the oft quoted Stokes letter, Baying they

Thomas, bat opposed-the admlalon mainly because
of tlie conduct of Mr. Thomas In the trying times of
•the winter of 1880 and 166 V he said, after de
. tailing the occurrences, men took their aides. Mr.
ThonSd had then done sett better calculated to over
throw the Union than those of soldiers In arms
it. He read Mr, Thomas’ letter of resignation, and
said if Its doctrines were tine the Sonth was right In
the war and they were wrong.
So one could doubt that Mr. Thomas was then a
eecccsiofilst fifid an enemy of Mb country, And bad
takes rank with leading rebels. He had neverAince,
by jffrird or deed, Shown loyalty to the Union, but his
nelghhcea had testified .that his moral support tod
bceßgtven ta the rebellion. Did any one doabtthait,
if Maryland tod seceded, Mr. Thomas would have been
' in the Maryland Legislature, and would have advised
his son to 'go Into the rebel army? He .disavowed
party motives and party feelings In giving his vote,
tat said if they admitted Mr. Thomas,.they might.as
well throw wide open their doom to red-handed

who served consecutively three months in the War of
1813, and who was honorably discharged; and who,
during the late rebellion, had not adhered to the cause
of the enemies of the government, who can take the
test oath, and who are in cticumßtances which render
them dependent on others for support. t *,

Nrrfr Orleans, La., Friday. Feb. 3. 1868—1
stated yesterday that Gen, Hancock had issneda
circular, ordering the publication oif the registry
lists in ifexas (as-revised), in Order t°_ prevent
fraud;: This order was protiralgatcd to-day. The
following is a copy: ■
Headquarters Fifth Military District,
Office Or Secretary of Civil Akfairr New
Orleass, -Lsi, Jan. 21,1868.— Circular Ao.2—
Immediately after the completion of tbo.revUlon
of registration in Texas—which ends to-day—
the Boani of Rfegiatrarsof each county will pre
pare and canse to be pubUshcdoneein;thecounty,

latvWhether before orafter the efeiton, an-accu

tered ?before and during the revleloVand whoso

Ing sald revision. Also, when it can be done to
time fo* general distribution, throughout the
county before the election,this fist wiUHe P*tnt«l
in the form of handbilltf. not to exceed fifty (60)
for each county, and distributed and posted in
the mostpnhlic places In flie county:
In cotmlies where there is no printing-office, or
newspapers published, the Board of Registrars
wiUnave thV handbuls- printed at tbe neareat
office, provided It can be done in sufficient time
for distribution before election, and to sudi
connate the list directed to be published to the
County paper will be sent for publication to the
offlciwpaper of the State, at Austin. „
The expenses for printing, distribution, &c.,
duly certified and approved, will be paid from the
Reconstruction fund. By command of
, . .: Major-General Hancock.
Robert Chandler, Captain and Assistant Secre
tary for Civil Affairs. ■' '
The Reported Biot at Harsball, Texas.
In relation to this ftffaii' I informed yon that
Gen. Hancock sent Col. Wood, of his Staff, to
Marshall, Texas, for the purpose of Investigating
"the matter. Coi. Wood, to tos reconv
tnends that the prisoners to charge of the military
authorities be immediately transferred to the local
authorities. Gen. Hancock has so ordered, and
has also directed the Military Commander to
report to him what action is taken by the civil
authorities in each case, as the other, prisoners
were bennd over under bonds to appear at the
next term of the Criminal Court It te supposed
the other cases will be similarly treated.
This affair proves to have been a political
/racas,similar in every respect to those occurring
at approaching elections in the Northern States,
and the authorities have treated it the same as
though it occurred in the most quiet section of
the Union. Its only importance is derived from
the political phases of the hour.
