FREE RELIGION IN IRELAND.
Feuianism has not been an titter failure.
True, it has wasted the hard-earned savings
of thousands of poor Irish men and women;
has sent some men to the gallows and more
to prison. In the field of battle it has been
a failure. But, let what may be said, the
victory of the Liberals in the British Parlia
ment, at the session of Friday night, or rather
Saturday morniiig,.was a victory for Fenian-
ism, greater and more important than any
that could have been hoped for from inva
sins of Canada, or incemliarism in England,
or even from uprisings in Ireland. The min
istry made a pretty valiant fight on the ques-
tion of emancipating the Mitt from a church
establishment foreign to the faith of most of
the people; but it was carried by a majority
of sixty, in a very full house, and that it will
ultimately become the law of the kingdom, is
not to be doubted
The session of Friday night, even as briefly
reported by the cable telegrams, appears to
have been very exciting; and the scene,
though wanting in the oratorical displays of
more brilliant periods of English polities,
may figure in future history,.er in chapters of
future romance, as highly' picturesque. The
Prince and Princess of Wales and other
members of the royal family were in the
galleries, of which, of course, no part was
unoccupied. ' The House of Commons is not
a grand or spacious hall; but when there is
an exciting issue and a full attendance, it
seems to expand in dignity, if not in dimen-
Mr. Gladstone's resolve for the Dis
establishment of the Irish Church was enough
to stimulate at least *curiosity, without raer
ence to the other feelings that bigots of vari
ous shades of belief might entertain. The
champions of liberalism were brave and con
fident, under the leadership of Mr. Gladstone.
The minority were proportionately nervous
and uneasy. Mr. Disraeli must have felt that
a critical test for his young premiership was
.at hand. He made several ineffective sugges
lions for delay, but he left to Mr. Hardy the
burden of open opposition to the measure
before the House. He pretended friendship
for Ireland,and indifference about Fenianism.
But, after all, there must have been a good
many• worshippers of the British Lion who
fancied they heard another
"Lion In the lobby roar,"
and that the other Lion was Fenianism.
Earl Mayo, representing the aristocratic
landed interests, made the admission that
Fenianism was based on hatred to the Irish
Church. Mr. Beresford Hope, of the English
High Ohurch aristocracy, who was recom
mended to Copperheads and rebels in
America, some years ago, by one of their
Philadelphia adherents, as a warm -friend of
the Southern Confederacy, acted consistently
by opposing the resolve of Mr. Gladstone; for
he evidently hoped, to. see slavery perpetu
ated in Ireland, as he had hoped to see it
perpetuated in America. These are only a
few glimpses of the scene afforded in the
House of Commons, In that memorable ses
sion; but then came the conclusion. At a
quarter past two on Saturday morning the
division took place, on Lord Stanley's motion
to postpone the consideration of Mr. Glad
stone's reeolve until the next Parliament.
This was defeated by sixty majority as already
stated, and the vote was hailed by the accla
mations of the Liberals: A motion was made
to go into Committee on Mr. Gladstone's
resolve, which motion was also carried. •
The victory df the Liberals atonished even
themselves. It has been hailed by the pliant
and trimming London Times with such ap
parent joy that-it might -be- suppoael.to -be its
own peculiar triumph. It is accepted by all
parties as the doom of a monstrous system,
,))y which the Irish are made to pay the ex
penses of a church establishment that is not
in accordance with the belief of at least nine
tenths of their number. Truly the people of
the United States ought to feel happy, and ex
ultant as they observe this and other recent
proofs of the spread of their own doctrine of
the right to worship according to conscience.
The temporal power of the Pope has been so
reduced that there is no loner an ecclesias
tical despotism in Italy. Mot of the States

mount a sovereign who, though Protestant,
is not a bigot, and who allows perfect free
dom and full protection to all creeds. Aus
tria, long the most , bigoted of continental
governments, has virtually annulled the
concordat which put her people into a sort of
vassalage to Rome. England has removed
the disabilities under . which the Jews labored.
She has long allowed the Roman Catholics full
freedom in all parts of her dominions except
in Ireland. Now, at last, she takes the great
step of abolishing the ecclesiastical despatisui
there, and, coining a word for the great occa
gen, "disestablishes" the Protestant Church
in the Green Isle. The work is not yet quite
complete, but the completion is inevitable.
It is a natural result of the growth of intelli
gence and enlightenment,even if its immediate
cause be Fenianism; for, after all, Fenianism
is only the Irish word for that independence'
which intelligence and enlightenment are
claiming and winning in every part of the
world. With slavery abolished in timeriea,
with freedom of worship allowed in nearly all
Europe, and finally in Ireland, who dare say
the world does not move in this latter half of
the nineteenth century ?
TUE lITIREACIAIRENT TRIAL.
The rapidity with which the Managers have
put in their testimony in the Impeachment
Trial is worthy of all praise. It is not only
that they have consumed so little time them
selves, but that they have thus imposed a
strong necessity upon the President's counsel
to be equally brief, that makes this fact so
commendable. Unless some unforeseen de
lays occur, there seems to be no reason why
the case should not be concluded in all next
week. May-day is the regular time for mov
ing, and it will be a happy coincidence if
Andrew Johnson takes his departure from,and
Mr. Wade his departure to, the White House
on the first day of May. There would be a
convenient interval of about ten days for
house-cleaning purposes and settling up small
accounts, and then the reign of peace and
prosperity might come in with the month of
"propitious May."
The Managers have conducted the case
with marked judgment and ability. The
burden of the work has been sustained by
General 'Butler, and he has brought to it a
mind which is not only thoroughly versed in
the whole business of managing oral evidence,
but which has been in long training for this.
particular case. There is no phase of the
question of impeachment with which Gen
eral Butler has not made himself perfectly
conversant, and with his quick perception,
-legal experience and ready wit, he has shown
himself armed at all points. It is understood
that Mr. Bingham will conduct the cross
exainination of the President's witnesses. He
is not one of the original advocates of im
peachment, but he -is a keen and experienced
lawyer, and won a high reputation in his
management of the Assassination trial. The
President's counsel have not much oral testi
mony to offer, and this branch of his work
will therefore be comparatively light.
Much idle speculation is indulged as to the
position of this and that Senator. Oracular
utterances are pat forth in many directions,
professing to indicate Republican me.•ubere
of the Court who contemplate political
suicide for the sake of Andrew Johnson.
But there is no authority for any of these
surmises. That there is a deep feeling tif
jealousy toward flit. Wade, on the part of a
few New England Senators, is probably true.
But, so far from this being counted in favor
of Andrew Johnson,• it should be counted
against him. For the position of these
Senators' -is so well understood
by the country at large, that it must be ap
parent to each of them that failure on their
part would be set down, at once, to its true
cause. They could not claim, and would not
receive, credit for any high and worthy
motive. Superior, as every United
States Senator probably is, to the
grosser bribes of money or office, it
would be plainly seen that a meaner and
baser motive had controlled them. It would
be every where recognized that 'personal s pito
and j ealousy had governed them, and they,
would sink to, an even love
depth than if they had been bough
with money, or bribed with some glittering
bauble of office for themselves or their friends.
There are no real indications of any such
defections. These Senators are sitting in
judgment upon one of their own laws, made
and re-affirmed with all deliberation, and
under the obligations of their official oath.
They are sitting in jtidgment upon a man who
has degraded his office and dishonored the
nation, not only by his disregard of law and
his assumption of autocratic powers, but
by personal conduct and language so indecent
and disgraceful as to constitute, of itself,
sufficient ground for his impeachment and re
moval. These are plain propositions which
the common people perfectly understand. A
failure to convict Andrew Johnsbn would
carry with it consequences far beyond the
mere disgrace of•a few Senators or the tem
porary triumph of the President, It would
be to open the way for a tide of moral and
political degradation among the public men
of America which no human power could
long stem, and the disastrous results of which
no human foresight can fully predict.
A SLUI{ AT THI lIIGII counr OF
IitIYEACIIImEncr.
--,Says the New York Times:
`Macaulay, hi that celebrated account of the
trial by impeachment of Warren Hastings, has
these remarks: 'Whatever confidence May ho

that no man has the least confidence in theirrii

They are all politicians. There is•hrirdl2l one. among
then whose role on an impeachment may not be
confidently predicted before a witness has been
examined.' Will any future historian apply re
marks like these to the American Senate?'
"Putute historians," who have never_ beela
the oracles of Bread and Butter conclaves or
`Wigwam conventions, will say of the Ameri
can senate, in its trial of Andrew Johnson
for high crimes and misdemeanors, that those
Senators who notoriously desire his convic
tion and punishment were formerly his po
litical friends, statesmen who with pain and
sorrow were compelled to discard and de
nounce him because of his betrayal of the
best interests of the country. They will also
say that these Senators who now stand by
.him and vote solidly in his defence on all
questions, without regard to their merits,
which arise during the progress of tbe trial,
THE VAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-P4ILADELITIA, MONDAY, APRIL 6 1A)8.
would have voted as determinedly and plr
sistently the other way had not their support
mid favor been won by the treachery of Mr.
Johnson.
'Future historians will also take notice of
the fact that the Republican members of the
Senate thus far have not voted unanimously
upon any important question that' has arisen
during the progress of the trial. The Demo
cratic members, upon the other hand, are a
unit upon all questions, and for reasons that
have already been stated. The Times re
cognizes the consummation of impeachment
as a foregone conclusion, and by such slurs
and inuendoes as we have copied above, it en
deavors to weaken the force of the deposi
tion of the President and to damage to the
extent of its ability the dominant party in
both houses of Congress.
There are some poisons which, when once
taken into the human system, can never be
thoroughly eradicated. If they do not de
stroy their victim outright, they linger in the
blood or hide themselves away, in the tissues,
to break forth in some unexpected form, and
even to taint and blight after generations.
The editor of the Times swallowed the poison
of Johnsonism when the Executive virus was
first developing itself. In the lower House
of Congress he was the only Republican
member who did not reject with disgust the
Tennessee apostate when his apostacy be
came manifest. He co-operated with the
Democratic members of the House who were
won over to Mr. Johnson by his treason to
his party; he was one of the prime movers
in the Wigwam convention, and he was early
a formidable ally of Mr. Johnson in his , op
position to Congress, inasmuch as he penned
the Wigwam address which a urged the
South, through considerations of man
hood and self-respect, to refuse to
ratify the constitutional amendment.
The ?swinging around the circle" speeches
were too gross even for the author , of the
Wigwam address, and while professing to
renounce Andrew Johnson and alibis works;
and endeavoring to reclaim his abandoned
place in the Republican ranks, the presence
of the old virus has frequently manifested
itself. The attempt to throw discredit upon
the august tribunal that is now engaged in
trying the false President, and simply be
cause of a conviction that it will find him
guilty of the crimes of which he is accused,
is not among the least of the signs of the
working of the old leaven in the Tim es.
The insult offered to the city of Pniladel obis
by the Legislature on Friday last in refusing
permission for our citizens to make use of
one of our public squares for the public good
appears to have been thorOughly gratuitous.
There was no pretence that the city
members desired the defeat of the Penn
Square bill. Only two Republican members
from the city could be mustered in opposition
to the bill, which was defeated by' country
Republican votes, at the bidding of five Dem
ocratic members from this city. The two.
Republican members who aided in
this stupid piece of legislative work
are Mr. David Foy, of the First
District, and Mr. James Holgate, of the Fif
teentiv District, the one residing at the extreme
southern part of the city, and the other far
out in the direction of Frankford. These
+two gentlemen are not the most competent
judges of a question involving the general
interests of Philadelphia, and yet their nar
row-minded notions are permitted to stand
in the way of one of the greatest public im
provements which has been proposed in
Philadelphia for many years.
The dedication of Penn Square by William
Penn,as every one who has taken the trouble
to inform himself knows, is entirely dif
ferent from that of the other public squares,
and there is not only no legal objection to
its proposed use, but there is, no •precedent
thereby established, which can possibly effect
the other squares. Mr. Hickman, in oppos
ing the measure, showed his ignorance in this
particular, as he contended that it was an
opening wedge for the occupation of the
other sqUares.
This is no question between what is
sneeringly called " Respectability " and the
masses ; and those who draw such a distinc
tion do so to cuter to ono of the worst of all
popular fallacies. There is nothing essentially
exclusive in science, and art ; in libraries and
museums ; in education and intellect.
These elements in American society are not
only not antagonistic to the interests of what
are commonly called the "working-classes,"
but they are absolutely essential to their pros
perity. It is only as these important public
institutions are to be made subservient to
the general benefit of Philadelphia and the
welfare of her, citizens, that any one proposes
to collect them at this central point; and, by
utilizing a piece of property that is now ut
terly useless, enable them to exert that
elevating influence upon the masses
which is their true tendency and mis
sion. The Legishiture -has committed
a grave blunder in opposing this lauda
ble project, and has, at the same time,
assumed a most unnecessary Interference
with the domestic affairs of Philadelphia, of
which her own people and her own authori
thyi are the only competent judges.
Spring seems disposed to coquet a little the
prcsent season. March went out like a lamb
in the traditional mode, 'and April came in
with a mildness of demeanor that was worthy
of a choice day in the caleiader of her
"dainty-footed" younger sister. Everybody
rejoiced at the final escape from the pro
longed rigors of a hard wiuter,and the BunnEr-
TIN, which seldom makes mistakes ormiscEd
culations, announced with entire - confidence
that Spring had come to make a permanent
stay, and while inviting , all mankind to re
joice in its.advent, it promised them early
and abundant supplies of grass-butter, fresh
Shad, strawberries, green peas, and lamb with
mint-sauce. But the close of last week
brought about a decided change in the condi
tion of things meteorological. Hyperborean
gales swept furiously over the land, bringing
snow and ice in their train in the Northern
and Western States, and, about this latitude,
sending skyward the pulverized evidences of
how Mr. Bickley didn't do it. 'On Saturday
and yesterday discarded cloaks and overcoats
were disentonibed from their red cedar rest
ing-places; furs were disengaged from their
camphor-wrappings, and Stoves and heaters

became objectS of general regard and affec
tion. But this certainly is the expiring flicker
of the lingering 'winter. The sun is asserting
his power in a way %lat is not to be misun
derstood, and we must console ourselves for
the lateness of the season with the reflection
-that when spring does come in earnest,it will
come to stay, and early fruits and tender
blossoms will escape the danger of the'blight
ing frosts that are too apt to follow the
opening of a premature spring.

comment this morning in Republican circles
over the statement which was afloat yesterday,
that an article of five columns which appeared is
the National Intellipncer on Thursday last, en
deavoring to prove that neither Wade nor Colfax
was entitled to the Presidential chair in
ease President Johnson is convicted, was written
by Chief Justice Chase. It appears that the
article is question was taken to the editor of the
paper by the private Szeretary of 'the Chief Jus

eons draw inference from this that the ankle
originated with the Chief Justice.

INIPEAORMENT.
Remaining Speeches to be Made by Mr.
THE MANAGERS WELL PLEASED
WITH THEIR CASE.
03pohial Deepateh to the Philade. Eventng'Ballettn.l
WA April 6.—After some discussion
among the Managers, the remaining two speeches
for the prosecution in the impeachment case have
been conceded to Messrs. Bontwell and Bingham,
both of whom arc already at work on their argu
ments.
It appears that all six of the Managers desired
to wake speeches. Mr. Stevens especially in
sisted on making an argument in support of his
article, and Mr. Logan, with the greatest reluc
tance, gave up the idea of making an oratorical
display under such unfavorable circumstances.
The Managers of the Impeachment, in present
ing their articles, have forestalled the defence in
at least one instance:
Mr. Pickering's removal by the elder Adams,
and the appointment of John Marshall in his
stead as the Secretary of State, has, it is well un
derstood, been relied upon as a powerful prece
dent by the President's friends, and his
con n sel'in tended to introduce some documentary
evidence concerning it.
The Managers, by giving a fall history of that
Case, have shown that Mr. Adams did not claim
the right of removal without the consent of the
Senate. Among the documents
.the Managers
announced that they should show hereafter in the
nature of cumulative evidence, it is said, will
be Mr. Johnson's letter to Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet
officers soon after the assassination, in which he
'requests and authorizes them to continue in
eharge_of their -respective Departments.' This.
the Managers hold, will be a sufficient answer to
the point of the defence which claims that Secre
tary Stanton's case is not within the terms of the
Tenure of Office act because he was not ap
pointed by Mr. Johnson.
The Managers express themselves fully satis
fied with the progress of the case thus far, and as
particularly well pleased with the votes of the
Senate on the incidental questions which have
arisen in the course of the trial.
Judge Curtis will open for the defence on
ThurEday, and will he followed, after the evi
dence for the defendant, by Messrs. Evart and
Stan bery.

CRIME.
The Murder of George IV. Ashburn
of bleorfzigi.
[From the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer, (Demoetat) April 11
Our citlaens were greatly startled on Monday
night and yesterday morning, by the news that
Geo. W.Ashburn had been killed in the house in
which he was living, in the upper part of Ogle
thorpe street, by a body of men in dis
guise. The killing occurred , between
12 and 1 o'clock Monday night. The shots
tired were heard by a number of persons
living in the neighborhood; the men who com
mitted the deed were seen on the streets by one
or two persons, and the tragedy was witnessed
by several persons in and about the house. Yet
there seems to be no evidence clearly implicating
any one in the affair. Ashburn was shot in Übe
head, thigh and foot or ankle, and other shots, $t
is said, passed through his clothes. Ho MGM
have been killed immediately. The shots were
evidently fired from pistols.
There was a variety of rumors, and several
wild conjectures as to the character of the parties
who committed the outrageous deed. A coroner's
inquest was held yesterday at the house of the
murder, which, we understand, was attended by
the Mayor of the city and the commandant of
the post. We understand that, according to the
statements of negroes in the house, a party
of masked or disguised men, Whose numbers
they variously estimated from fifteen to thirty
or forty, came to the house at the hour
above named and demanded'admission. This was
refused; and they then proceeded to break into the
house, having posted themselves at both doors.
When they effected an entrance, Ashburn was
standing near his bed with a pistol in his hand.
The men immediately commended shooting
at him with pistols, and quickly des
patched him, Ashburn, it is said, not
firing. It was reported yesterday that a negro
woman living in the house had stated that she
recognized one of the men, whose mask had
fallen off. naming a most respectable and orderly
young gentleman -of Columbus. But we learn
that on examination at the inquest she denied
having made such a statement, audsa id that she
could not identify the man. No one acquainted
with the young gentleman believed for a
moment that he was concerned in the
affair. A negro man testified that he saw one of
the men in the alley between the house of the
tragedy and the next one, 'without a mask, and
that he know him. As this charge may also be
disproved, we will not yet publish the name of
the man implicated. The verdict of the Coro
ner's jury was that G. W. Ashburn was murdered
by parties unknown.
Ashburn was considered the chief organiser of
the Black Radical Party in Georgia. His influ
ence over the negroes was great, and there was
considerable excitement among this class of the
population on account of his bloody death. We
are glad to say, however, that we hear of no via.
lent demonstrations by any of them.
B.U. Butler's' Appearanoo.
In a letter to the Cleveland Leader Mr. George
Alfred Townsend has this sketch of the personal
appearance of Gen. Butler:
"This man's face, instead of looking straight
forward, was compelled to point Its chin upwards
when it wanted to see anything ahead, because
one of its eyelids was in a condition of perma
nent suspension. He peeped under it .as. under
a green shadeama often see some acquaintance
of yours level His eye Belong the surface of his
check. By sympathy with this eye, the other eye
also hung fire a title, and it is needless to say that
persons of this sort are very seldom handsome.
Never forgetting this half-closed eyelid, therefore,
you must further imagine the rest of the face
to be of an audacious, not to say pugnacious,
cast and expression. The ears, the eyebrows,
the broad cheek bones, the contour of the
chin are without delicacy, salient bui not
massive. He seems forever thinking up some
keel,
scathing utterance. The sides of the
bald bead have some thiek wings of dark hair
hanging to them like the feathered wings of
fowl, else plucked. • This man wears a good,
new stoat of black cloth, to match the rest of
his dress. Your first feeling as you see him
is that if he were a schoolmaster von would mind
your lesson; if he were a bank president, you
would hate to ask him for a discount. Because
be looks as if he would just as lief refuse as con
sent, and would probanly refuse in terms calcu
lated to make a man feel very uncomfortable. In
short, Mr. Butler is a man that you perhaps wish
to have nothing of business to do with at all. Ho
would bully you ; he would also conquer you.
Ho would rather impress you with a sense of his
power than his magnanimity.
"As to his talent, he need be at no pains to im
press you with it; for you admit the same
without a challenge. A good, strong, sus
picious, measuring, worldly-look is all over his
face. Over the eyebrows the forehead is raised
into bumps, as you always see it In men quick at
words. Little inertia has he, seeming always
poised for a leap. A reflection is al
ways folded under that huge, flat,, eye
lid. Masses of men, whether audiences,
mobs '
supplicants, legislatures, or juries, af
fright him never, having ahvays perfect confi
dence in himself and never-daunted courage.
Waiting-to-address this court .and-.the great and
brilliant historic audience, you see him sit at the
counsellor's table with the roll of his speech,
without a contraction of the throat, a cough, a
look of modesty, an attempt at composure—
without anything but a set audacity of self-seII
:MCC, a wish to get up and go on, a contemptu
ous impatience for the fight.
"This Is the remarkable man—remarkable al
ways, whether with the majority or minority—
who, without much appeal to original principles
or any considerable 'sacrifice to great 'motives,
has carved for his own person a statue of the first
prominence the history of these eight years o
violence. Hie life ball boon already written by
the most fascinating of our biographers '

THE U. 1 SUPREME COURT.
A FAMOUS SUIT DECIDED.
Mrs. Gaines versus New Orleans.
The IT. S. Supreme Veurt.
[spode' Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
WASHINGTON, Aprll 6.—The Supreme Court
will adjourn to-day until December next. A
large number of opinions are lazing announced in
very important cases. The cue, which has long
been pending, of Mrs. General Gaines against the
city of New Orleans and many citizens thereof,
for certain property In that city, left to her by
her father, was decided by the Supreme Court to
day In her favor.
Prominent lawyers here who are fully posted
as to the value of the property say that this de
cision will undoubtedly make her the wealthiest
woman in America.
The celebrated cotton case, involving the right
to 935 bales of cotton, libelled as prizes of war
but brought before the Supreme Court om an
appeal was decided.
The case is that of Embery and Doyle, G. H.
Lemore and Grief and Bunts vs. the United
States. The Supreme• Court dismissed all claims
upon the ground that they interfered with the
non-Intercourse act of July 13th, 1863.
Judge R. M. Corvine, of Cincinnati, has had
charge of the case on the part of the complain
ants, and has been warmly congratulated upon
the able manner in which he conducted it by
leading lawyers who practice before the Supreme
Court.
The Postage Law.
(Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
- by the Franklin Telegraph.] _
BOSTON, April 6.—A meeting of publishers of
newspapers and magazines in this city was held
to-day to take measures respecting the new in
terpretation of the Postage law, which cuts off
the free transmission of newspapers and
magazines in the county in which the
are published. An informal discussion occurred,
sal the unanimous opinion was drawn out that
the present construction of the-law was
unjust and outrageous. Messrs. Charles
W. Slack, of the Commonwealth, and
Joseph S. Clark, of Ticknor & Fields'
publiehing-house,were selected by the meeting to
proceed to Washington and represent to the
Postmaster-General and the Congressional Pos
tal Committee the injustice being done, and
to Had out how it can be remedied
They will go to Washington on Friday night. Mr.
Curtis Guild, of the Commercial Bulleli9,will also
go on, preciously ascertaining the sentiment of
the publishers of Philadelphii and other cities,
and accomplishing what he can in Washington.
RIOUNT VESUVIUS.
The Eruption !Still in Progress...Ds.
scription of the Latest Outbreaks.
[Naples (March 19) Correspondeioe of the London Thom)
An eruption of Vesuvius of so long and intense'
a duration is not, I believe, on record. It still
continues to engage the speculations of the scien
tific and to command the admiration of the
multitude of visitors who crowd into Naples,
and on some days of the last week was marked
by a splendor equal to, if not greater, than
it has exhibited during the present
period of its activity. My last report was
dated the Ist of March, and I sow resume the
history of what has passed in the interval which
has elapsed since that time. At the beginning of
the month Vesuvius did not make any unusual
exhibition. Ashes in abundance were thrown
out; the sismograph indicated continual shocks,
while the detonations of the cone increased
in intensity; the lava had not, however, changed
its character or direction, so that the
distant aspects of the mountain were precisely
the same as before. A now cone was indeed
opened toward the west, from which stones
and ashes were thrown out. On the 6th or 7th
the agitation of the scientific instruments led to
the expectation of increased activity, which was
shortly realized. A stream of lava issued from the
summit of the mountain, and flowed in the direc
tion of Ottajano, which lies at the back. There
were three craters at play.two of which projected
only stenes,svhile the third threw out both stones
and ashes. The periods of increase, however, di
minished. so that in the intervals the lava had
time to coo], and while by day a long line
of smoke rising from the stream alone was visi
ble—by night it shone with considerable bright
ness. The result of these pauses in the course of
the lava in that direction will be, at some time or
another, that the Observatory which has ren
dered such valuable services to science, will be
swallowed np. Hitherto it bas stood on the ridge
of a bill, against the furthest extremity of which,
that nearest the grand cone, the lava has beaten
in vain, dividing into two streams, one of which
flows in the direction of Regina. After every
interval of cooling, however, the fresh lava flows
over the last stream, Aid thus, stream surmount
ing stream, the hollow has been filled up, the
ridge extended, and the time may not be far dis
tant when the Observatory, like many another
building on this volcanic 1011, will be recognized
only by its summit just peering above the bed of
blackened lava. During the period of which I
have been speaking the distant appearance of the
mountain has been the same, the stream
which flowed , toward Beano seemed to unite
with that which issued from the bottom of the
tube I have so often spoken of,' and to describe
a circle round Vesuvius, cutting off a great pro
portion of the upper part of the . cone from the
lower part. In a few days all this was -sensibly
changed. On the 11th there was a diminution of
the quantity of lava, though the shocks were
more frequent, and on the 12th, in the direction
of Bosco Reale, not visible from Naples,
a new cone was formed at the foot of the moun
tain. Nt the same time the three craters or
months at the summit were in continual play,
projecting lava and columns of stones into the
air to the height of a thousand, feet. The erup
tion increased in violence on the 14th; k dark
moss of smoke rose from the burning 'crater,
mingled with ashes. Het, burning stones were
projected to the height of upward of 1,500\ feet,
and, describing a wide parabola, fell at the , . bot
tom of the cone, thus prohibiting the apprbach
of curious visitors. The thunders , of
the mountain all the time were tre
mendous,onlyto be compared to a heavy cannon
ade, and these, echoed back from, the neighbor
ing mountain of Somme. were such as to shake
the strongest nerves. All this tearful agitation
was but the precursor of a fresh and copious How
of lava, which, bursting through the soil at a new
point at the back of the mountain, flowed
down on the oak plantations of the Prince
Ottajano, who has exteusive possessions
in that district. I think that -from
the 10th to the 13th or 14th of the month the
eruption was grander and more solemn than at
auv time since its announcement. I cannot de
seilhe in too glowing, terms the spectacle which
Vesuvius presented mm thesethree or four_uights,-
especially on that which, by a happy coinci
dence, followed the American fete at Pompeii.
It gave ono the idea of its being so
gorged as not to find vent sufficient to
relieve Itself; it shot out fire and red-hot stones
and aebes in all directions—from the summit and
the side, from the back and. front of the moun
tain. The intensity of the fire indeed, was such
as to penetrate and relight the blackened walls
on the top, so that the entire summit of Vesuvius
was one solid mass of burnibg tire.

the Parana. Fighting was going on at all points.
Humaita had not been captured, as before repor
ted, but was vigorously defended by the troops
under Lopez. The allied fleet and land batter
ies were cannonading the fortress. Humaita
was, however, very poorly supplied with pro
visions, and its early capitulation was expected.
There is no other defensible point on the river,
and its capture will * without doubt, terminate the
War.
