VENEZUELA. A ionrncy io sue o* mount MHO*:' tCorreepondenceof the Fhfla. EttningßallolhO La Guaika, Feb. 2d, 1869— FeeUng »t _ t ! be, nlnnlbg ol the New Yeßr the necessity— forafew a recreation, both mental and physical,, I determited opon mahlng “ D olcn ff on Btrnciion and entertainment through the nelgh boricK mountains, hitherto but Imperfectly, or not at all explored, and to extend my research as lir as Mount BlUo, probably the highest mountain of Venezuela.; Having procured the necessary nmles for the journey on the preceding evening, our email company, consisting of Mr. Moulding, an American ciiizdn, myself,and two servants for tahing care of the animals and carry ing our pro visions and instruments, left the town of La Gnairo on the Ist day of January last, before sun rise, and took too road which leads eastward from JSs place to Maputo. Alter passing thp Immediate Mwlrons of La Guulra,Cardoual,Guanape, and the Protestant cemetery, we were soon in a pleasant scene,and rode through a low country In a broad tart unpaved road between hedges of the most varied kindß of shrubs, partly in blossom. On the right band -wo had a range of mountains cov end with thick forests, and on the left the sea dotted with vessels coming in. going oat or riding at anchor. The,bold projecting masses of reck, vrooded on the sides,'and Old decaying fortresses crowning the ridges, '' gave thb landscape a character peculiarly grand. In these colonies wd discover at eveiy step some traces of that activity which characterized the Spanish nation In the sixteenth century. On this road We met, with no great plantations. These lie beyondMaento, or In the forests 7 at a great distance from .the road; batsomeseattered houses, with small gardens, proved to ns that the fertility «f this beautiful spot was duly appreciated. Thtß vallejy genUy declining towards the sea,although doubly warmed by the reflection of the rays of the sun from thb steep mountains, likewise en joys too advantage of being open to the refresh ing winds from the Hast. ‘On the lower grounds the sugar-cane thrlvos with > incredible luxuriance, and we saw a par ticnlar proof of the strength of the soil in some »tbnlB 6lmoßt a foot thick, whleb, having j>een deprived ofi the branches and roots, divided into several pieces, and fixed in the ground to form a febcb,.nad immediately taken root, and shot oat new'branches. They were stems of the plndalba and ’several, crotons. This phenomenon is the iiipteianarhhblebecause the pieces which were settonpsido down grow as fast as the rest. ; Hete at this spot we were rejoined by our boys, wbb'bad. been detained on the road; and one of them; on noticing our admiration of the con cealed pioceeecS of vegetation, naively remarked that here anything will grow—even a pig, If you merely plant a pig's tall. At the Fort Pdnto Mulatto, near a rude cross erected by the wayside, amidst a pile of stones, about two miles from the pori,we Issued from be tween the hedges along the road into a little val ley, containing a brook with -flowery banks, bounded by a lew gardens and meadows which * were just then illuminated by the brilliant rayß of the morning sun, while in the background the massy summits of the Cordillera moun tains were veiled in the gloom of a foreßt which wgs still in shade. ' Here we bid a parting glance to the narrow sandy beach, and to La G., with its houses Of dazzling Whiteness, with flat roofs, and windows without clobb, built agaiOßt the wall of an almost perpendicular rock, thinly clad with vegetation. ■The view of the “Sllla,” as it presents itself here for the firet time, is very majestic, lrom the groups of palm trees which line the .boast, to the region of the arbntus, the .laurel .and the pine. This formerly vol canic rock is crowned with luxuriant vegetation; its double cone projected Itself on a sky of tbo purest bine, whilst dark thick clouds enveloped the rest of the mountain to the height of 7,000 feet The pumice-Btone, illuminated by the first rays of tbo sun, reflected a reddish light like that which tinges the snmmits of the higher Alps. A solemn, soothing repose was diffusod“=over this delightful epot, which seems to have been created for the enjoyment ot retired and cheerful contemplation of nature. The variety of light and of the foliage of trees, which is seen on the loreste, on the slopes of the monntain, the blending of the most diverse colors, and tho dark,azure and transparency of the sky, impart tQithb landscapes of the tropical countries a charm to' which even the pencil of a “Rosa”' and a “Clauds” .cannot do fualico. The road gradually rises; and whon, after pass ing over.many Wooded hills, we arrived at 9 iu th(t morning at “Gallipau,” our hospitable friend, ficnor Cardona,bade us welcomo on bis domain, a plan tation of some 6,000 coffee-trees,located about 3,000 feet high, at thefootof Mount “A Vila,"which I bad .the pleasure of mounting one year. ago. Nothing can be compared to the beauty of this retreat, from which, amidst the fragrant shrubs of Venezuela, ah enchanting prospect over tho port and sea may be enjoyed.- The crowns of the majestic paUnß wave slowly over the silent roof which they overshnde, like a symbol of peace and tran quillity. A stream, gently murmuricg.descends from the mountains, and tbe “mamue," with its almost human voice, produces a pleasing melan choly. Balsamic odors fill tbe air, and strange flowers almost overpower tbe senses with their perfume. Now it is the neighboring orange grove; then the thick tufts of the cupatoria, or the budß of tbe flowery palms, suddenly bursting, which disclose their blossoms, and thus, maintain a constant succession of fragrance. • After breakfast and a repoße of a few hours, we continued our excursion, followed by our boys, chanting and capering, by ascendirig to tbe coffee plantation of Senor Tomas Bueno, near which the little river of Macuto, flowing in a luxuriantly-shaded ravine, forms some fine cascades in descending the moan tains. This place is estimated to be at the elevation 0f4,000 feet above tbe port of La G,, situated,on tho eastern side of tbe ‘'Avila," where we were sure of finding a guide. We could not find one at Gallipau wbo bad mounted the peak, and I was not surprised at this. The most curious objects become less interesting ia proportion as they are near to us; and I bave known inhabitants of tbe city of Buffalo, N.-Y., who had never seen the Niagara Falls but at a dis- j tanco. Passing over several streams wnich were 1 turned to good account, and winding through ! various plantations of coflee, cotton, sugar, j yam, yucca, etc., we. at length reached tho ; terrace of an eminenco’where a delightful pros- ■ pectover lhe-port,witb its many inasis and flags, and tbe city stretched out at tbe fool of tbe hills ' below, the houses dazzling in the sod, was spread | before our eyes. Here a venda stands, bat it of- 1 fords only tobacco, ram, biscuits and sardines, and no accommodation. Pursuing our road, we enjoyed diversi fied romantic prospects into tbe valleys below, Sometimes you traverse open apple,)where a stronger light is reflected from the flowery: ground or from tbo shlniDg loaves of tbe neighboring:high trees. Sometimes you enter a cOQi.'shodjvboWer. Here a thick wreath of ml kanUB 1 ant&paeslon-flowers climb through the crowns of tbacellis, mimosas, shining myrtles; there: busby la-otous, scbastlanas and innume rable other: plants form an impenetrable thicket, amidst which grow Immense stems of the silk cotton tree, of the lecythis, with its singular fruit resembling a pitcher, slender stems ot the cabbage palm, knd many other sovereigns of the wood, enlivened by tbe buzz of the gay hum ming-birds and. by the singular notes of un known birds and insects. Proceeding further up tbe mountain, you roach a steep eminence,' from which there is a surpris ingly beautiful view of the sea. Mount Avila in the west, and the sugar loaf Gran Camburiiu the east. Here lives a species of monkey never before seen by any of our party. The road by which we now continued is on the right of a tor rent or baranca. that in tbe rainy season forms fine cascades; it Is narrow and tortuous. Tho ieet of our mules were slipping every moment on beds of stono, which were very steep. As we approached the hacienda of Senor Bueno, we felt the temperature of the atmosphere gradually be coming lower. This sensation was so much tbe more agreeable, as tbe air of La Gualralsvery •PPrt’ssive. Aa our organs are more affected by disagreeable Impressions, the change of temperature becomes still more sensible when wo return from this region to the port: wo seem then lobedrowicgnear the month of a furnace. Accord tog to the laWof decrement of heat, 3,000 feet in height produce in ihie latitude onlylonror five degress difference in temporatnre. The heat whlCh pVelpOwera the traveler on his entrance Into IO Gualrtf must, consequently, be attributed lotho reflection from tho rocks against which Uje town ic bnilt On our arrival at the above- mentioned estate, toward* evening, wo hoard the sound of anoxhomocho lnthe woods, aelgnai for the peonee (laborers). Daring and after our supper, many of them appeared, and repaued to* a -rancho to hare a New Year a - dance. Having examlned tho condition Of -;Oor animals and seen that ''they wore weu attended to by onr boys, we soon were attracted by the music coming from a guitar, and tho rat tling accompaniment of a matdea. They also whistled or eang alternately to the music, and tho longer the dance continued the more lively did they become and the louder were their voices. By einging extemporaneously, and the sound .of tho instrument, tbo Venezuelan is easily excited to dancing, and expresses his cheerfulness in pol ished society by graceful cotillions, and in Infe rior company by expresßivo pantomlncs and attitudes like those of tbo negroes. At 9 P. M., we all were enveloped In clouds, and tbo aimosphero grew so cold.that a cobije (double blanket sewed together) could not keep us Warm The. “3111 a" appears during, Decomber and January seldom free from clouds, and as two serene days seldom Fuceced each ‘ other, we Wore-advised not to defer onr ascent, and to Choose a clear day, bnl rather a time when, the clonds not beiDg elevated, we might hope, alter having crossed tho first layer of vapors uniformly 6pread, : to enter inlo.a dry and transparent air., At eleven d pale light lay over the gloomy forest; the silence of thlß retreat wos Interrupted only by the murmuring of distant streams, and lost in the contemplation Of this attractive scene, wo cheerfully resigned onrolvps to tho refresh meet of sleep. In the United States this would have been one of the finest summer nights, os the thermometer was hot below 63.fi Fahrenheit, and yet we found it almost impossible to sleep for the cold. It Is a fact as,remarkable as it is gene rally observed, that a few months’ residence In a warm climate Is sufficient to give to the frame an extraordinary sensibility to thogrodations of warmth; It* probably proceeds from tbe_ in creased action of the nervous system, which is a natural conseqnenco of the great stimnlns of tho light and heat. , , . At four o’clock the next morning we again set out. accompanied by n guide, and descended ft toarrPw path .traced on & steep covered with turf. The path passes over some streams, the several huts mostly Inhabited by people mak ing coal. The vegetation was uncommonly strong and luxuriant, but on ascending again the oppo site side oi the Galley, the large trees gradually became more rare and the bamboos and ferns more numerous, among which Is a beautiful ar borescent fern of fifteen feet In height. When yon havo made your way through* the lost thicket, yon reach the green summit of a mountain,where single shrubs, among which Is a magnificent ar borescent valosia, otter to the eye n vegetation resembling that of the Bine Bidge of North Caro- This spot commands a beautiful view, extend' ine over tho woodeyhills, volleys,defiles filled with thick vegetaiioD, and the city,to the sea,the broad surface of which is lost in the distant horizon. * At this elevation the difference in the atmosphere Is already so sensible that you fancy yourself trans ported to a colder zone. I saw the thermomoter kept a little below 67 deg.; the baromotershowed that wo were already 5,110 feet above the level Of the sea. Our guide thought it would require five more bourn to reach tho summit of the •‘Bil ls ” Several streams flowing lrom the ridge of th'e.mountalns refreshed ns with their cold water. The roaring of cascades is heard, while tho water i is übeeen, being concealed by thick groves of ! eiytbrlna, and the Indian fig-tree. ■ Just before wo arrived at this spot, a beautiful young tiger-snake, with black and small white transverse bands, which is supposed to be very venothous, crossed our path. We had also no ticed on our way a titi, slugs, and very singular birds, butterflies, and other insects. In the sur rounding forestß, as wo were assured, there grows a kind of bark, which, since several years, has been exposed under the name of “quina, the efficacy of which in intermitting fevers, has been proved by experiments made by physicians at Caracas. Perhaps this medicine would be more powerful if the bark of young trees was taken in preference, which has hitherto not been the case, the ignorant people employed to gather it having selected very thick and woody pieces, which can be pulled up‘without any trouble, to the finer bark of the young frees and branches. Anoiher plant growing here, and containing o great quantity of bitter, is the Carqueja; it, how ever; differs from' the pure bitters by the conside rable admixture of resinous and aromatic parts. At '8 o’clock A. M. we reached the last hut on our way, neaT the declivity of a high rock from which a crj stal brook.partly dissolved into mist, fell from the height 'of nearly a hundred feet into the valley. Here we loft our beasts,supplied ourselves with water, and cdntlnfn'd’our ascent on foot In Indian file, cutting oar way with macbotas (cutlasßeß). The steepness of the ascent gradually increasing, we were obliged to incline onr bodies considerably forward as we advanced. The slope is often from 30 deg. to 35 deg. Wo felt the want of cramp-irons, or.sticka shod with iron. Short grass and soft moea covered the rocks of gneiss, and it was equallv impossible to hold bv the grass or to form steps, os we might hove done In softer ground. This ascent, which wos attended with more fatigue than danger, dis couraged those who accompanied ns from tho towD, and who were unaccustomed to climb mountains, sp that when we reached tho first promontory of the “Billa”—the Logunlta—our iwo bovs refused to proceed any further, and con sequently remained here to await onr return from the highest peak. The weather was now becoming cloudy, and the m|et already Issuing in the form of smoko, We foresaw from these Infallible stole that we should soon be covered with a thick fog; we, however, continued climbing the slopes towards the second peak, called Leanada de los Matho maticos, which we reached at 10 A. M. Here the vegetation grew smaller, and the animal king dom lost Its life and activity; two small liliaceous plants, with yellow flowers, alone lift np their 1 heads among the,grasses whieh cover the rocks; and among tho brambles only tho huckleberry shows itself; Ihe strawberry, which covered the g onnd for a distance of two miles, having long disappeared. On or about the third peak—plco de los A vispos —we were surprised at finding some indigenous rose-trees; and at the fourth peak—plco de Incl enso—a Bbrnb, 10 or 15 feet high, of the corym biferous family, extremely resinous. The Creoles call it Incienso (Incense). Its tough and erenate leuves, as well es the extremities of the branches, are covered with a white wool, emitting the agreeable odor of storax. On passing the Fils de Piadro, between the fourth and sixth peaks, we were sometimes so enveloped in mist, that we could not, without difficulty, find our way. At this height there is no path, and we were obliged to climb with our hands when onr feet foiled ns on the steep and slippery acclivity. Every lime that the clouds surrounded us the thermometer sunk ae low as 67 deg.; with a serene sky it rose to 80 deg. These observations were made in the shade. But it is difficult on snch rapid declivities, covered with a dry, shining, yellow turf, to avoid the etfeclß of radiant heat, We were at 7,140 feet of elevation, and yet at the same height towards the I east we perceived in a ravine not merely a few | toUtary palm trees, bnt a whole grove; It was ! tho “palma real.” This group of pulms,at so con (--slderable an elevation, formed a striking con i trust with the wlllowe scattered on tho depth of j the more temperate valley of Caracas. The ; ground was strewed with decomposed feldspar, of | snowy whiten; ss, and the fissures, the ravines and the landslips, occasioned bv Bhocks of ear h quakes and torrents in the rainy season, with gneiss. Prismatic blocks, one foot 1 wide ond twelve long, stand ont from the ground obliquely, and appear i on the edge of precipices like enormous beams suspended over the abyss. These rooks, passing sometimes into granite, sometimes into mica and elate, contain In several spots of the valley of Caracas small quantities of gold, too poor how ever to encourage any attempt at working them. ' After proceeding for the space of another hour across savannahs, we entered into a little Wood composed of ehrnbs and small trees, colled ‘‘HI Pejual," doubtless from the great abundance of the pejoa, a plant of very odoriferous leaves. The steepness of the sixth peak became less con siderable, and gavo ns a chance to examine mare : rainntely many beautiful shrubs with tortuous branobes, stiff leaves, and large purple flowers, such as the Alpine rhododendrons, the, Andromcdas, tho Vaccinhic, and Befarlas; but while thus engaged we were dlsagreoably sur prised ond frightened by the dletant voice of a jaguar. Luckily it did not make Its appearance,as we wero but poorly armed,, having only, two, ror votv;r&.and a V ‘ • ; ThtarV Wfetow* beak; is (Wove of the bcfarlalcdlfolla, only thxeeflrfonr.feetlilgh.

This eastern dome Is the moat elevated of the two ultimate peaks which form the -summit of the mountain. The hollow, puerta, tietwoen has suggested the Spanish’namo- of “StUa’l (saddle),* which la given to the whole mountain..... To roach this peak, It is necessary to approach as near a 3 possible the great precipice which descends towards Caravallcda andthecoaßt The general bspcct of the mountain points out this path; tbo locks being so steep on the East, thalit would be extremely difficult and dangerous to reach the eummit of the “Silla” by ascending straight to the eastern dome, instead of going by the way of the puerta. Thermometricai observations made at the “8111 a” render it' probable that tho mean temperature of tho air 1b still 70 deg. or 72 dog.; hnd tbo thermometer keeps in tho coolest season between 05 deg. end 77 deg. In the day, and in the night between 64 deg. and 69 deg. THO greatest nocturnal refrigeration probably never exceeds 48 deg. In the Uttlo thicket of the .Prjttol, near the pnrple-flowered Befaria, grows a heath leaved bedyotis, eight feet high; the caparosa; a cepidum, which appears identical with that of Virginia, and lastly, mosses, which -cover the locks and the roots of the plants. We spent an hour and a half In examining the grand seonery Spread out nnobstrnctedly before our eyes. The absence of large trees oh the tWof rocky summits of the “8111 a” may be attributed to the aridity of the soil; the 1 violence of the winds blowing from the sea; and the con flagrations so frequent in all the mountains of the equinoctial region. The eye ranged over a vast extent of country; looking down to the North was the sea, with the islands of Buen-alro, Aves, Orchids, Lob Boques and Tortuga; on the West we discerned the mountains of Aragua and Cara bobo; on the East the mountains ,ot Bolivar and Cape Cordero, and to tho Bouth the city of Camcae, with its fertile volley, the villages of Cbocao, Petare, Antlmano, El Valle, the coffee plantations, and the course of the Rio Gualra, a Blender streak of water reflecting a ellvery light—all bounded by the mountains of Giiarico, behind which begins the Unknown world of the Orinoco and the Amazon. \Ve were at 8,175 feet above the Caribbean Sea, gazing on an extent of water the radius of which was 36 leagues. Persons who are affected by looking downward from a considerable height should remain at tho centre of the email plat which crowns the eastern summit of the “8111 a.” The mountain is not remarkable for height, but it is distinguished among all the mountains 1 have visited by ah enormous precipice on the sldo next the 1 eea. The coast forms only, a narrow border, and looking frora tbe sum mit of the pyramid on the 1 houses of Caravalleda this wall of rocks seems by ah optical illusion to be. nearly perpendicular. The real slope of tho declivity appeared to me about 50 deg. to 63 aeg. A precipice of some 8,000 feet like that of the “Silia” of Caracas, is a phenomenon far more tare than is generally believed by those who cross mountains without measuring their height, [heir bulk aDd their slope. The Bhots we fired at the “8111 a” wore scarcely audible to ns, but clearly beard and counted by people in the'lower va’leys. At 2 P. M. the sky became more and more cloudy, and the thermometer sankbelow 66 dug., a temperature at which, in thlß zone, people begin to suffer from the cold. Badefied with tho success of our journey, we began now to descend again into the puerta, nod to return to our bove awaiting us at the first peak. Wgnderlng’ln the thick wood Of arbor escent plants, we constantly directed our course towards the first western peak, which we per ceived from time to time through an opening. On a sudden we found ourßelyes enveloped In a thics mlst;the compass alone could guide us; hut in ad vancing northward, we were In danger at every step of findingburselves.at' the brink of that enor mous wall oi rocks, 1 the Flla de Piaura.wuicn de scends almost perpendicularly to the depth of seven or eight thousand feet towards the sea. We were obliged to half; destroying In the meantime some oranj;eß stowed away in our pockets. Fortunately an eastwind began to blow vio lently from tho sea; the thermomqter rose to 00.8 deg. It was no doubt an ascending wind.whleh, by • heightening the temperature, dissolved the vapors. In less than five minutes the clouds dis ported, the “Logunita” appeared singularly near, and with machete in hand, shaping our coarse through the thick wood of heliconla.we soon ar rived at the peak, where our boys, on noticing our approach, had spread the cobijas under an incense tree, ‘and ” prepared a dinner, which we unceremoniously attacked, refreshing our parched Upß fr'om a suspicious looking bottle before us, and the water of a laguna near by. At 3 P. M. we were again on our way, soon reached the hut, mounted our muleß, and by a bright full moon' returned to the Hacienda Bueno about 8 o’clock at night, overcome with fatigue, having traveled for sixteen hours nearly, without stopping. T)ie" next morning at nine we continued „our descent, and finally reached home egaih at sunset of the 3d of January. Our hoys, again In . good spirts, expressed' , themselves satisfied, but regretted to have forgotten the tiger-skins. Onr friends at La Gnaira had been able to dis tinguish ns with glasses,, and noticed the Stars and Stripes planted op, the “Billa”whUo enjoying an hours repose.' They felt interested in hearing the account of onr expedition. C. F- L. AOAIC ULTCRAL. For Lawns Gardens Green-Houses and Farms.

[Correspondence ef (ha PhiladeltM* Emdfll Bulletin.] Washington, April 6 —The vexed question of the civil tenure bill was at last settled to day by the President officially notifying the House that he had approved the law. The matter has caused him a great deal ol perplexity, and he delayed so long before ho signed It that some peoplo began to think he would veto It. Last week there was scarcely a morning that Judge Noah Davis, ol the Honse, was not closeted with the President npon the subject, and It Is well known that Davis maintains that the bill, as It passed both Honscs from the Conference Committee, authorizes the Senate to reinstate an officer suspended by the President by rejecting the party who may be named to sne > -ed him. There can be little donbt that the Judge v, ry strongly Impressed the President with this idea, in order to prevent any misunderstanding, an unusually large number of Republican Sena tors walled on the President this morning, indi vidually, on purpose to talk the matter over, and they assured him there was no desire on their part to checkmate him. and that the alleged double construction of the law which had been argued as a fact In the newspapers and on the floor of both Houses, was without foundation. • This decided the President, and he signed the litil, I think there must have been upwards of twenty Senators at the Whlto House belwoen 10 and 12, and among them were the moßt promi nent and Influential members of that body. TUB CASE OF MYERS VB. MOFFETT. This case was up before the Committee on Elections this morning, who had a spirited debate on It, but, without coming to any conclusion, ad journed to meet this evening to take up tbo sub ject again. There seems to be some hesitation on the part of some Republican members of the committee upon the question of throwing out several precincts where It Is claimed by Mr. Myers thabgreat fronds were perpetrated. They fear that this will establish a bad precedent, which will be made use of by the Democrats in future contests, should they have a majority ol the House. In other words, the committee seem disposed to decide tbo case upon the points of law involved, without regard to political con siderations, and ovon some of the Republicans are disposed to throw aside any preference for Myers on the score of his being o Republican, er what effect his admission or exclusion may have upon the question of a two-thirds majority, which it is so desirable to maintain, but not at the expense of fairness and justico. Judge Jeremlab Black, too, it is understood, has been posting the Democratic members of the committee, in aid of Moffett, and as Black is' undoubtedly an ablo lawyer, his advice has resulted in inspiring the Democrats with a grcatdeal of confidence in their side of the case. It is hardly thought, however, that tho committee will report against Myers, put will shift the responsibility of the whole matter npon the House;, and as, there,are now only five more days left of tho present session, the Demo crats may, by "filibustering” and delay, prevent Myers befog admitted before December next. DEMOCRATIC ASPIRANTS FOR OFFICE. The graßd tidal wave :of. office-hunters, which hiis swept the capital for the last threo weeks. Is not composed exclusively of Republi cans, for among those aspiring to offlqiabposl lions are a few Democrats, whose modesty cer tainly entitles them to greot consideration, I have learned of ono man “up” for a prominent office,who,last weckleft here for Philadelphia,and who voted the Democratic ticket at tho October , election; butflld not vote in November, as he did not consider his voto “would affect the general result." I was hot a little astonished at learning that he feels he should bo rewarded for his patri otic exertions, and 1b absolutely trying to got an appointment under Grant! More strange, suite number of influential citizens of Philadelphia have eijdorecd hi til. CJt wpuld b 6 well for people, before etching petitions, to know positively how the applicant voted at the last election. STAMPEDE OF ‘ THE OFF!CIS-HUNTEB8 —DISGRACE- FUL SCENES. Slnce Friday, there has been a general clearing out of “lame aueks” whose fate was settled by the enormous budgets of nominations sent to the Senate by the President on Friday, Saturday and to-day. .Every one of these “patriots," when he camo here, felt certain ho hsd “a sure thing pf - it," and nota little amusement has been created among the disappointed. at, their bad luck. On Saturday, ah Individual from the South, seeking on appointment, was horrified to find that: tho ’ name of another man had been sent in for the. place. He Immediately got on a '“glorious drunk," and beoame'uproarious. While in this condition, It happened that the other Individual Whose name was sent in got on a ' “glorious ; drunk," too, In honor of his good fortune., had , the two chanced to meet in this belligerent Con dition, and tbo resnlt was a “muss” of conside rable dimensions, with black eyes and bloody noses for two- The man whoso.namo was spat ' la, fearful of the matter getting out, left sud denly last night for New-York, to * spend a- few days, and wait till the Senate disposes of his case. On Friday tho “omnibus bdat’’ of nominations sent to tbo Sonato attracted 'an immense crowd of bfflce-hnhters to the room of; the Secretary of the Seoate," where the list of nominees is 'usually given to the reporters to eopy. The outside crowd bad no right there, as it Is a private apart ment; bnt they thrust themselves in and seized (he man having the list, and would havo taken it from him by main force, had they not been pre vented. They stood npon tables in the room, npset chairs, and came near capsizing several, desks, to hear the names read.* While this was' going on several Senators entered, and were oritfied to see this usually quiet place, which is generally as orderly aa.n church, turned into a “bear-garden.” They' remonstrated, and the re sult was that Saturday and to-day the list was | given to the reporters in tho. ante-room, in roar of the reporters'gallery of tho: Senate. But so intense was the anxiety of the outslderson Sutur- I day and to-day to bear the list read, that police men had to be stationed at the outer' doors to ' keep tbo ontelde crowd from bursting into tho I room. To-day, however, the crowd has greatly I diminished, and before the close of the week the city will reBnme Its usual qnlet. Susquehanna. CUBA. Incidents of. the Capture of the : Com auditario by the insurgents. Havana, "March 30 Tho capture of the steamer Comanditario has occupied public atten tion more within the past threo days than any pother event that has lately occurred up&n the island. This fifie coasting vessel left Havana on the evening of the 23d, for Cardenas. ’ At aboot II P. M., after the captain and most of the crow and passengers had retired to bed, the supercargo, Joan Osorio, and a man from Santiago, named Angel Lono, together with about 80 ot ihe pas sengers and crew, took forcible possession oftne steamer, capturing the Captain, and: thenithe .re maining passr ngers and crew by groups of three and four at a time,and finally congregated thorn in tlja forward cabin. Osorio and his companions bird undoubtedly made up the plot to take tho vessel In Havana, and camo on board, well armed. Besides, eeveral hogsheads, marked for the'Flor do Cuba estate, were embarked by Osorio just before the Comanditario left Havana, and are. now generally supposed to have contained arms and ammunition. The Chief Engineer, Juan Lopez. and all of his firemen, and tbo pilot, Eloy Camachs, were In the conspiracy, and effi ciently assisted OBorio In getting possession of the vessel. This accompllshqd, the Cuban flag, which had unquestionably been prepared In Ha vana for tbo event, was hoisted at the main peak, and the captors greeted It with three cheers, and three times three for Cespcdesand: the Republican Provisional government. Early next morning the Captain and the captured passengers and men ol the crew were landed on Salt Key, ope of the Bahamas, together with a small quantity of pro visions. The Comanditario then steamed away with her new ownera In the direction of the Florida coast, and nothing has since been heard of her. Prominent Cubans here believe that she will go to Vera Cruz, in which port the Mexican authorities are very apt to prevent her recapture, and ihere she will be fitted out os a privateer, for which she is tolerably well adapted,being strong, and rather fast. The passt-Bgers and crew of the Comandi tarlo, that were landed with the captain on Balt Key, numbered fifty persons, ono ol themwith a wound In the rigbtarm.tho result of an in effectual resistance made against capture while ou board. With a small supply of provisions ou hand, and ou an uninhabited Island, the lot of the men would have been a bard ono soon, had not the schooner Valeria hove in sight A number of the abandoned men made their way to her, were taken on board, and conveyed to Cardenas, the point of her destination. There the authorities interested themselves at once about those left ou Soil Key, and eent tho steamer Cardenas to fetch them to the city.— World. HATH. Tatting of Fort Bienacle, at Gonnlves —Plcquete Diabaoding in tbo South. By the arrival at New York ot the bark R Mur ray, Jr., from Port an friDce, we have dates from that place to the 20th of March- On IhelOtb of the month President Salnave left the capital for Anhahala, on hie way to Go naives. On arriving at the former place he Immediately ordered an attack by hie troops npon the advanced posts of the Insurgent forces, which resulted in the capture and occnpation of the en trenched rebel camp at Croix Sally. After this rapid success the President proceeded to GoDalves, where he was received both by the population and the army with the greatest en thusiasm. He at once ordered an attack to be made npon Port Bienacle. which was held by the rebels, and from which, the situation of the Port belDg an elevated one, a very harassing fire had been kept on the town for several days. The at tack was made under the eye of the President, the troops being led by Goneral Chevalier, who has so greatly distinguished himself by his ob stinate defence of Gonalves against the Cacos. The rebels were driven from their formidable position, leaving six pieces of cannon behind them, and the Fort was destroyed by the Victors. The successes of Salnave in the uorth.however, bad been counterbalanced in the South by thede fection of a considerable number of picqnets or mountaineers of that region, who are disbanding. This circumstance has left the country pretty much at the mercy of Gon. Dominique, who, it was expected, would in consequence bo shortly In possession 8f 'the entire south. The city of Anx Cayes still held out, bnt was strictly block aded. Notwithstanding the blockade,the people of Anx Cayea were well snppiled with food, large quantities of native provisions finding their way into It from the surrounding country.
