The Burning of Two Thousand Women and Children in the Cathedral of Santiago. INDIGNATION AGAINST THE CHILEAN CLERGY. Details of the Frightful. Catastrophe. One of the most horrible calamities that has ever fallen upon any people occurred in the city of San tiago, the capital of the republic of Child, on the night, of the Bth of December last. The Church of the Solent, in which was beteg oe• lebrated the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin , was destroyed by fire, and with it were burned and suffocated over two thousand women and children. One can hardly realize the terrible catastrophe that has fallen upon the people of Child; whole fa tellies have been swept away in an instant, as it were, and there is hardly a home in Santiago that has not been thrown into the . depths of woe. The battlefield has its horrors ; but they are the bleb dents of war. _ln this ease it has been women and children who have .been destroyed, and none were able-to render them any aid. Husbands, brothers, and fathers have had to stand by and-witness wives Distal% and children perish In the dames, and not to; able, ie render them assistance. I give you the full accrotiatrom the Mercurio del Vapfr of the MU nit., wht,ltirsi. all the details ; also, some remarks from that' apehencerning the catastrophe, all of which. are deep interest: • Otie of these awful visitations which from time to thne afil let nations with eternal mourning took place on Tuesday, December 8, all the festival of the.lm maculate Conception in what was the Mundt of the Jesuits in the capital. A magnificent temple re duced to ashee; hundreds of dear lives sacrificed, the whole city weeping it. lost ones—such is the pie ture Santiago offers us since the fatal night, the an niversary or another mortal catastrophe—the battle of Longsmillet. On the commemoration of the Im maculate Conception, the last of the festivities of the month of Mary, the most popular and frequented oflall our solemnities, thousands of fair devotees thronged to the last performance, which Was to eclipse all that had preceded. At six in the evening the spacious steps and part of the open place before the church swarmed with ladies in veils, frantically struggling to' enter a temple where not one more could be made room for. A few minutes before seven, and when the reli gious performance was about to commence, they were still lighting the -last lights in the chancel, when the portable gamin the half moon of canvas and wood that formed the pedestal of a colossal image of the Virgin Mary began to burn one of the extremities of that apparatus. Some one rushed on the rising flame and succeeded in smothering it, but by a fatal rebound the gas, compressed by the effort, burst out with redoubled vigor et the other ex tremity of the false half moon. Immediately a fierce flame rushed up. The persons who thronged the chancel flew towards the sacristy crying " water, water," whilst the women, who filled the nave arose in tumultuous confusion screaming for help. • The flee spread with wonderful" rapidity to the reredos of wood and hangings, and thence, attracted by the current of air that always circulates between the upper boarding and the roof, rolled through the church. In a few moments all over head was a mass of flames. In the meantime the men had succeeded in escaping; for in this church the sexes were Rep& rated by an iron grating, and the - women had fled es far as the middle of the church in a state of the most terrible confusion. But the headlong hurry, the fainting, the obstruction of the bell-shaped dressers, and the frantic eagerness to gain the street, formed an impenetrable barrier before the two doors, which, by a culpable imprudence, gave access to the free air only towards the open space in front and the small court of the west side of the church. That ob stacle was the barrier of death. And now what appeared most horrible was that, seeing the salvation of lives within reach of our arms, it was impossible to save even-one of the vic tims piled one upon another on the very threshold. Hardly had the noble men who devoted themselves to save lives at the peril of their own, seized by the arms or the clothes a prostrate form than the other women, mad with terror from the nearness of the fire, clutched the victim about to be paved, and in some cameo dragged those who came to help them into that fiery vortex. It was almost impossible to extricate even one from that heap of despairing wretches and undo that ghastly knot. But the lire accomplished that which baffled man, and the passage into the doomed church was not cleared until that impenetrable phalanx of preeioua, beautiful life, was a handful of cinders. At midnight the smoking ruins of the fatal temple, so soon a silent charnel house, was visited, and by the light of a lantern, every slip showed to the rip. palled .gaze fearful groups of carbonized corpses, that preserved still the supplicating or despairing attitude of their frightful martyrdom. In another account from the same paper is found more of the sickening details and fuller partioulare. I give it entire : A dreadful visitation has fallen upon us. Truly this is a day of trouble and rebuke for blasphemy.,The voice of lamentation is heard all over the lad ; the bitter weeping of fathers, hus bands, brothers, and lovers, for those - who were the joy and brightness of- their life, that refuses to be comforted became they are not. Hundreds of young girls, only Weaterday radiant and beautiful in the -luxuriant -1 of the fresh, hopeful spring of life, are today calcined, hideous corpses, horrible, loath some to the sicht, impossible to be recognized. The Bth of December was a great triumph for the clergy of the Church of the Jesuits in Santiago. An enthusiastic audience filled r every nook. There were hardly any men there; but three thousand women, comprising the flower of the beauty and fashion of the capual, were at the feet of the ecclesiastics, very many against the will of fathers and husbands; but that, of course, only showed forth the power and might of the Gospel. Never had such pyroteehey been seen before ; twenty thousand lights, mostly oamphene, in long festoons of colored globes, blazed the church into a hall of fire. But the : performance had not yet begun when the crescent of fire at the foot of the gigantic image of the Virgin, over the high altar, overflowed, and, climbing up the marlin draperies and pasteboard devices to the wooden roof, rolled a torrent of flame. The suddenness of the fire was awful. The dense mass of women, frightened out of their senses, num bers fainting, and all entangled by their long, swell. ing dresses, rushed, as those who knew that death was at their heels, to the one door. which soon be came choked up. Fire was everywhere. Streaming along the wooden ceiling, it flung the camphene lamps, hung in rows there, among the struggling women. Ina moment the gorgeous church was a. see of flame. Michael Angelo>s fearful picture of hell was there, but exceeded. Help was all but impossible; a Hercules might have strained his strength in vein to pull one from the serried mass of frenzied wretches, who, piled one above another, as they climbed over to reach the air, wildly fastened the grip of death upon any one escaping, 1w order that they might be dragged out with them. Those Who longed to save them were doomed to bear the most harrowing sight that ever seared human eyeballs— to see mothers, sisters, tender and timid women, dy ing that dreadful death, that appalled the stoutest heart of man, within one yard of salvation, within one yard of men-who would have given their lives over and over again for them. It was maddening—. the screaming ar d wringing of hands for help as the remorseless flames came on ; and then, while some already dead with fright were burned in ghastly in difference, others in their horrible agony, some in prayer, were tearing their hair and battering their facer. Women, seined in the embraces of the flames, were seen to undergo a transformation as though by an optical delusion; first dazzingly bright, then horribly lean and shrunk up, then black statues, rigidly fixed in a writhing altitude. The fire, imprisoned by the immense thickness of the walls, had devoured everything combustible by ten o'clock, and then, defying the sickening stench, people came to look for their lost ones. Oh, what a sight the fair, placid moon looked downupon ! Close. ly packed crowds of calcined, distorted forms, wear ing the fearful expression of the last pang, whole smile was once a heaven; the ghastly phalanx of black statues, twisted in every variety of agony, stretching out their arms as imploringmerog ;an the n ,Of the heaps that had choked up te door, mul titudes with their lower parts entirely untouched, and some all a shapeless mass, but with an arm or foot unscathed. The silence, after those piercing screams were hushed in death, was horrible. It was the silence of the grave, unbroken but by the bitter wail or fainting cry—OVER TWO THOUSAND SOULS had passed through that ordeal of fire to the judgment seat of God. Heroic acts of sublime daring have not been want. ing. Enduring. gratitude has been excited in every Christian heart by the gallant ejbrts of Mr. Nelson, the Minister of the United States, his countryman ; Mr Meigs, and several other foreigners. There were generous men who defied the fury of the flames to save lives, and some of these died martyrs to their noble hearts. Au Englishman or an American, it is unknown which, was seen to rush through the names, to seize in his powerful arms a lady, stride with here little way, and then, with Ms hair in a blaze, and choked • with smoke, fall back into the volcano never to rise again. d young lady named Oerllo, having in vain implored some bystanders to save her mother; ruShed in, and shortly afterwards =dram. lowly issued forth with her parent in her arms, saved. A young lady of the name of Solar, just before the smoke 'suffocated her, had the presence of mind to tie her handkerchief around her leg, so that her body might be recognized. be writer now continues to speak of the cause of the fire, and to whom the blame for the catastrophe is attributable. He handles the clergy in the most severe manner, and says : The population of San tiago, so supine and so priest- ridden, are fired with indescribable indignation at the monstrous conduct of the inieste. The public conscience hold* them guilty of the death of all theme victims, and pull cularly the montebank Ugarte, the inventor of the Virgin's Post Officeimposture (see extract from the "Review of fornight"), because by colleatingto gether all the matetialmostlikely to produce a fire— ticountlesa number of lights,pasteboardseenen, and muslin hangings—and admitting a vast eroWu and covering the one door open with a screen, they took every pains to bring about a tragedy. When the fire broke out and people were escaping by the as misty, they blocked up this door to devote them selves the more undisturbedlY to saving their gim cracks. The Hat of things saved makes one's blood run cold. What the priests saved, what they put away in segar amps and the bodges ln front are—a gilt image, some wooden ea - Mtn, a sacred aophe or two, Seine books, chalices, diver candle-stinks, and a greet deal of • sacred matting and carpet. After caving their 'dash, these specimens of good shep• herd., who give their lives for their cheep, fled away, in company with the owls and bats that in. reeled the ancient walls—except that one priest fa vored the agonized victims with his absolution ' and Ugarte requested them to die happy, because they went direct to Mary. They then forsook the scene, and in that awful night, when fainting women and desperate men strewed the streets, and writhing forms, that a few hours before were graceful and beautiful maidens, moaned and died in chemists , shs, not a priest was to be seen to whisper a word of Christ's comfott to the dying ear, or hold the pro:done crucifix before the glazing eye. No, not so, for thepriest of nature was there--moman, a ministering angel in the dark hour, tended and soothed as usual. One younglady—God bless her—tore up all her under clothing to make bandages, and bound up the wounds as only Woman pan. Ail this awful night the only thing that re mained of the clergy was the incessant toiling of belle—about the only thing they could do to increase the horrors of the scene. - IMILA.DILI'ItIA This being the third time that this church has filled our homes with weeping, all with one voice demand that it shall never be rebuilt; but the priests, foolishly defiant and despotic as ever, threaten to let off their miserable mediaeval popguns at those they term the sacriligious alienators of holy ground. Their audacity has even Lod them to-attempt an ap peal to violence. They preach that the irrepara ble loss of so many or the fairest and most virtuous of Child's virgins and matrons is a special mercy and miracle of Nary. who wished to take them at once, without delay, to her bosom. One monster exults openly at that which has stamped eternal grief and horror on our hearts, "because Child. wanted asupply of saints and martyrs.” Oh ! as we write our eyes fill with tears: Nothing can console us in this &filiation.

SOUTH AHURA. priests have melted away in the smoke of that aw ful burnt sacrifice which,laden with the dying breath of two thousand victims, rolled up to scows Ugarte and his accomplices before the throne of God. I now give the paragraph from the "Review of the fortnig ht ," referring to the priest U garte and his Virgin's Post OMee : "A priest, named Ugarte, whose mind elariolatry had marked (for Be own, headed that sisterhood (the Daughters of RUDD from the beginning, and worked tin way down to such a depth of superstition that one of Ms least ex• travaganees was the invention of a Celestial Post Office trick, by which the Daughters of Nary might correspond with the Virgin in writing.

In Chile the "month of Mary" (celebrated elsewhere in May) ends with that evening. There are no feasts in Spanish America so popu• lar, particularly with the ladies, as those dedicated to the Virgin. Some one of the gorgeous churches of the capital is annually selected for the ceremonial, and this year the magnificent temple of the Com pania (called so from having once belonged to the Jesuits) was chosen. It is in the very heart of the city. For thirty evenings it has been crowded to excess, and almost exclusively by females. Every effort bad been made to make this evening surpass in rplendor its predecessors. The church was gorgeously ornamented and luminated by more than ten thousand lights. Of these the most remarkable was a crescent of gaajets at the foot of a colossal statue of the Virgin, on the high altar. It had just been lighted, and, whether from carelessness in lighting or from too much plea. sure in the metre, the blaze flew up to an ittordinate height, and in a moment the thousand tinsel altar ornaments were on lire. The cry of tire " se-echoed through the temple. Imagine, if pot can, the consternation of those kneeling thousands of tender women and children. I say kneeling, for kneel they must, as there are no pews in the churches here, as with you. There were at this time, as near as can now be calculated, three thousand five hundred in the church. . . . . . Only two of the doors were open; and to these a rush was instantly made. Hundreds fell in their effbrts to reach them and becoming entangled in their crinoline, or fain ting' through fright, were un able to rise again. Over these fell others ; and soon A pile of bodies was formed In front of the door, pro. venting all further egress. In the meantime, the flames had reached the dome and communicated quickly to the roof. The lamps, of which thousands were tilled with eamphene oil or kerosene, bursting, scattered their contents over the multitudes below. You will ask, where were the ilre. engines all this time? There are none in Santiago! But to con tinue : Ninny had already escaped; some few were saved by the superhuman efforts of those from the outsiee ; but soon the mass of shrieking victims before tie doors had become so compact that no strength of man was able to break it, and in the efforts arms were actually torn from their sockets. The struggle within must have been: fearful, since those who were saved were dragged out completely naked, and, many have since died. Now followed the most terrific scene mortal eye has ever witnessed. In a brief half hour from the breaking out of the Hie the whole interior of the church was a lake of dame, rising far above the heads of the whrieking.suf /ere's, while the hundreds of bodies massed immova bly together burned like so many blocks of wood. Through the lurid flames arms could be teen ex. -tended in - auppliestioni mothers - folding their daugh ters to their burning breasts, and, while the hellish light painted up the distorted features, loud above the roar of the crackling rafters and rushing flames rose the commingled shrieks of over two thousand victims.- HAMA, in his wildest:vision, never dreamed of such a hell as this. Had the roof fallen in now, what suffering had been spared! The flee reached the doors. Effort after effort was made to weak the compact but still living mass. Strong robust men were seen struggling to extra. Cate themselves, but in vain ; and all this within a few feet of hundreds of spectators i Trees in the the plaza were cut down and thrust in over the burning heads ; but it was too late. The smaller branches were - almost immediatelyreduced to ashes, or when the body of the tree was withdrawn those branches taken hold of- remained in the victims hands. It will seem scarcely credible that any yet lived ;: and yet so it was. A. moment morii, however, and: all was over. Amid the flames blackened heads might be seen swaying to and fro, then falling front the shoulders, The mass near the door was now im• movable in death, and hundreds of the coal-black statues retained their kneeling posture. At Ulnae roof fell in with a crash like mighty thunder. The gorgeous belfry still stood, and, wrapped in flames, made the scene around bright as noonday, and then, with a dull, sodden sound, the mammoth bells fell from their high places. CITY. LIPE IN EIANTIA.GO. Santiago, as I have often told you in conversation and in letters, is unlike any city in the world in this, that here all the wealthy families of tne Republic reside; and, as you may readily imagine, ia a city where there is so little immigration, these families are more or lees connected. all are well known to each other, and, in a word, form one large family. The blow has thus struck home to the heart of every One. MAXEY= DECEPTION. Our correspondent mentions an Incident that be trays the most barefaced and criminal hypocrisy on the part of the priests of the church that has been burned. It is that they actually had a letter-box in which letters could be left for the Virgin, and an swers received. It was called the "letter box of Mary." He says : We have seen letters from this box (which the Governor has in his keeping now), in which simple-minded girls asked from the clergy their photographs as mementoefrof their deified fea tures. We have seen others in cypher. • • * The people of Santiago did respect their pretended teachers. To-day we do not say they despise them, nor that they cur se them, but they have been com pletely undeceived. Tinder the mask Of charity these have been concealing the most refined selfish ness, the most atrocious hardihood. The door of the ve stry was closed that they might get out rotten mattings and moth eaten carpets. This fact alone might be sufficient to carry conviction to those who, unhappily, are not yet convinced. FEELING AGAINST THE CLERGY A reaction has taken place here asainstthe clergy. Public opinion demandect at once the conversion of the church site into a public square. This has been and is violently opposed by the clergy and their formidable party. The fanaticism of these and its manifold abuses, among which is considered fore. most the late disaster, is the subject of conversation in every circle. The papers are full of the bitterest invective on both alder of this question. Thousands of dollars are offered to rebuild the temple, and force is threatened if it be attempted. Accusations of the vilest conduct are brought against the clergy. In my next I will give you the continuation of this awful drama. Terrible as has been the lesson, Chile will profit by it. We may hope for more liberality and less fanaticism. Fremont the still smoking ruins of the Campania may yet rise the bright light of reit. gotta liberty. How to Avoid the Draft. RRADeitrelyrEne RECRUITING SERVicE, 2D CORDS. liurnisEurie,gA„ Jan. 15, 1884. Authority having been:given me to recruit the 2d Corps to fifty thousand (NAM men for s. ch spe cial service under my command as may be design's ted by the War Department, I appeal to the citizens of Pennsylvania to aid me in Mling up the regi ment and batteries of my command, which owe their origin to the State. They are as follows 81st, 140th, 116th (battalion), 148th, 53d, 145th,ollst, 72d, 69th, and 106th regiments of infantry, and baits. ries C and F independent Pennsylvania artillery, F and G Ist Pennsylvania artillery. Until the Ist of March next the following bounties will be paid by the general Government : For veterans,- $402 ; for others, $302, All volunteers enlisted for this organization will be accredited to the city, county, town, township, or ward which they may elect as the place to which they desire the credit given. When no such election is made, the enlisting officer will give credit to the place of enlistment. Each locality is therefore in terested iu increasing the number of enlistments to the etrtent of its quota in the draft, and any stimu lus given by local bounties or other efforts will have the effect of preventing those who desire to volunteer from leaving the places of their residence and enlisting elsewhere where the inducements ieffered may be greater: - The same regulations that have hitherto governed enlistments in this State, as to the persons em. powered to enlist, the rules. for mustering and for furnishing transportation and supplies, will apply in this ease. Any one desiring to enlist in any of these organizations may do so in any part of the State by making application to the district provost marshal or any rear:int:reel:floor from the 24 Corps, no mat ter to which regiment said officers may belong. I have come among you as a Pennsylvanian, for the purpose of endeavoring to aid you in stimulating enlistments. As this is a matter of interest to all the citizens of the State—its quota being stilt nearly 80,000 deficient—l earnestly call upon you all to as sist, by exerting the influences in your power, in his important matter. To adequately reinforce our armies in the field is to insure that the war will not reach your homes, and will be the means of bringing it to a speedy and nappy conclusion, and of saving the lives of many of our brave soldiers who would otherwise be lost by the prolongation of the war and in indecisive battles. It is only necessary to destroy the rebel armies now in the field to insure a speedy and per manent peace : let us all act with that fact in view. Let it not be said that Pennsylvania, which has already given so many of her citizens to this righteous cause, shall now, at the eleventh hour, be behind her stater States in furnishing her quota of the men deemed necessary to end this rebellion. Some State. have filled their quotas ; others will do so—a little exertion on our part will [OOll fill all the decimated regiments of the State, and obviate the necessity of a draft.

Every man who is now for wir, in preference to decided steps by both Confederate. and State autho rities looking to peace, regardless of age or con dition, should at once enter the army, for there is but one way in which our ruin can be made thorough and complete, and that is to continue the War. We believe that a peace can be made that the world will consider honorable, and that those who assume to rule us ought to take steps at ono, to make it, for enough has been said by the enemy to satisfy all reasonable men that they would glady re move the quarrel from the sword and refer it to - the council chamber. Though not in favor of the best peace that can be made, we are in favor of an effort on the part of our authorities to make some peace, and the truckling miscreant who objects to this is a coward if he do not at once shoulder hie musket and marsh to the "front." We have said more than we intended on the quer Lion of supplies, but our contempt for stay-at-home Secessionists is such that we can let no opportunity pass to abuse them.

There is not another man to spare from the farms or other industrial pursuits of the country, and a further draft on this °lase will be fraught with the most disastrous consequences. If more men are wanted in the line, let the thousands of able-bodied men already in the pay of the Government be placed there and the drones and noneproducers, who in sult honest toil by their constant swagger, and who have been shielded by the corruptions of mace-hold ers since the war commenced, beAsthered np and compelled to fight for that libertrfor which they ever profess to be so , ready to pour out their pre cious blood. - Congress,we fear, is disposed to run into ex tremes, espcially those members whose States are largely or entirely in the hands of the enemy. If this war is to be fought out to the last man and the/ last dollar, if we are really battling for indepen dence, we must husband our resources. We must have men to fight, and we must have something to feed them on. Beware of destroying the seed corn. But, judging the future by the past, we cannot say that we expect anything from the present Congress. Its members seem to have neither the patriotism or statesmanship for the awful crisis with which they haveto deal. The country rejoices that the end of the present Congress is so near • and if there WAS to be a the. rough change in the'Clabinet and the Executive at the same time, it would only tend to increase publie confidence, for there can be but few intelligent per sons found now but will acknowledge that the "six gears term" established in the formation of the Go verhment was a blunder.

Push on your column. Encourage your soldiers and the Government ; give it every support, and at the end of this year the rebellion will collapse. I hear men in the North denouncing-the secessionists With apparent bitterness, and they say, "Extermi nate them, but save the ne,gro." They might as Well say of a man bitten bf a mad dog, "Sill the man, but, for God's sake, spare the dog." .[Laugh. ter.] We in Arkansas are _going to 101 the clog and try to save the man.

[Cheers.] I say to those conservatives that the only way you can stay this desolation and bloodshed le to say to the South, yield to the Go. vernment, then we will withdraw our armies. But, no ! the conservatives have not the time nor the men they say. They see their true and gallant neigh bors shedding their blood in defence of one rights, while you stay at home to watch the Constitution. If you can't fight, if you can't join eithe n ot h i ngr Heaven's sake, keep quiet and say for when the rebellion is conquered and theaoldierc come home, they can see for themselves whether the Constitution is dese crated or not, and punish the desecrators.

I want - nothing from‘the Go vernment, but I tell you truly that the rebellion is looking anxiously upon the course of. the 'groaned conservatives, and would like to spurtnem on, for they expect it will bring delay and finally victo ry to them. I want my suffering people relieved, but I want the old Government to embrace the whole ter ritory as of old. [Cheers.] My , friends in the South have denounced me because I ant telling the truth about them; but I tell you I never met more con summate Secessionists than those conservatives of the North. Would the South abuse me if I was not telling the truth about theml I have been among the rebels, and I know that your conservatism is aiding the South. For once I appeal to you. Leave party and go 'for your country; nominate an unconditional Union man, and elect him. That is what the Union men of the South want. The rebels are waiting for the inauguration of a new President, and they want you conservatives to succeed. Then will be their time for success. The hardest blow ever struck the rebellion was the Emancipation. Proclamation, enforced by Union bayonets. As to compromise„ he said, would it not be wise for the Southerners, after going out, to come back to the President and say : "We are Willing to join you again," The ques tion would be Why did you go out 1" "Why, to protect the nigger " " What have you come back fors" "Why, to protect the nig ger." [Laughter.] But that is all stuff. Jeff Davis and the leaders won't do that. The people are will ing to return. The bitterest Secession ladies daily marry handsome Union soldiers. I was afraid my wife would leave me when I determined to sup port the Union, but when I told her, she said it was the noblest act I had ever done.

All this goes to prove that we can live together, He says there is plenty of land and work in two States of the West to hold all the negroee in the South when freed. There would be no migration from the South, except to escape actual bondage. He spoke at length of the ad. vantages to capitalists offered by Arkansas.

A private soldier ins Connecticut regiment having addressed a letter of welcome to Admiral Lessoffsky, that eflicer returned the following' aruswer, Which conveys a graceful tribute to the volunteer soldiers of our army : "MR. VSEMILYICA, 1:70. C, 7TH Conweoricum VO lansxxsne : SIR: You wrote me, !saying that to amuse yourself you composed and sent me your letter of welcome. Thinking that it might afford you amusement to read an answer y o ur I send you herewith my sincere thanks for frank expression of welcome. You pride yourself— and very justly, too—about the solicitude that your Government takes in extending to all classes the benefits of education. We are not as far as you, but we are conscious of the superiority of your system, and lose neither time nor efforts to' arrive at the same results, and so much so that the consideration that nothing but general education le in future the Safeguard 01 our power, is spreading among all class. es. There is no comparison in respect of education between your soldier. and ours, or those Of any of the European nations, and cannot be. You can hardlybe called soldiers who, by compulsion, have been driven to the army, as is the case in most of the European ar mies. You, morally, are much higher; you are citi zens, arming and organizing themselves into armies for the time being—while you are necessary for the defence of your country. Yon rush into all the hazards and privations • of military life without ever pre tending to enjoy the honors that in Europe reward the soldier at his home. You retreat quietly, modest ly, to your homes, to cherish the consciousness of having faithfully accomplished your duty toward your country. No wonder, then, that such noble aspirations may prompt into your army the men of highest morality, of the best education, and that, too to shoulder the musket of the private. You see, sir, that I understand the character of your army, its noble motives, and may God Almighty bleep you and your comrades as long as they keep brave like lions against the armed foe, and mild as lambs with the peaceful citizen.

Thackeray, at the time of his death, was en gaged on a newnovel, the scene of which—like the Virginians—was laid in the times of the first two Georges. The tumor lately circulated, about him having intended to write a story dating back to the early days of English history, arose from the (act that he was at are time much interested in certain old chronicles cf the times of Henry V., " mad amused himself!' says an English literary journal, 'l in insaginatiol, with a grotesque scene In one of the old chronicles of a famous royal lady, who rode into a fair city of Normandy on a cow."

The last mail from England brings the genoe of the death in London of Dr. Francis Boott a gentleman well nown in a large circle of friends, in this country. tor. Boott was a native of Boston, and graduate of Harvard University, the class•mate of many eminent men.

He was a per renal friend of the late Dr. William Darlington, of West Cheater, Pa. Dr. BOOtt's house in London was always the centre of a generous and refined hospitality, where Amerioans were proud and hap pis to meet.

It lies partly in Brazil and partly in the Republic adjoining and embraces the rivers Jagua r°, Candiota and 'Tigre, the two latter being tribu train to the former. In some places the coal bed..., shown in the outcrop over miles of pampoe, are 6o feet thick. To the north of this coal field there ex ist two smaller beds, one of which was in the pro• vine of the Rio Grande do Sul, and was said to be very valuable, and the Merin San Catharine. The fields were in one line of deposit, from south to north, and appear to be oolitic. This is a most va luable discovery for the Brazilian Government, which annually imports 260 000 tone of coal, at 49 shillings sterling per ton. If the Government opens these fields, coal could be supplied for ISt per ton, and ddpOts for the supply of steamers could be formed. THE Cincinnati Times, in referring to the recent cold snap at the.
