BATHS.
SULPHUROUS BATHS
• OF SAN DINGO, ISLAND OF CUBA,
Large buildings have been erected on the spot, under
thelusPection of the Government of the Island. These
stiinhurons waters (cold and warm) have been used for
the last sixty y ears, and are recommended by the moat
eminent physicians among whom we may name Drs.
Jorrin, Le Reverend, &u s e, Raz,' and Gilnzzo. They
are visited every year during the season from February
to May, by upwards of four thousand people, and their
use is specially recommended in cases of rheumatism,
venereal diseases, and other complaints for which eul
pbnrons wat.re are ordered. Great relief will be felt
by both sexes in their nee. The village of San Diego
bas five spacious first-class hotels, with every accom
modation for travellers; these hotels are located near
the Bath establishment. and their charges do not ex
ceed three dollars per day. Communications between
Havana and San Diego exist both by railway and
sieges, or by steamers and stages, and the trip, either
Inland or by the sea shore, is made in about twelve
hours The price charged for every bath is only twenty
cents. These Springs are very well known to many tra
vellers from the United States and Mexico, — wno avail
themselves of the fine season (from February until
May) to visit Cuba. That season of the year is the moat
delta Wel and propitious forthe use of sulphurous wa
ters, inasmuch as the cold weather in the United States

Another election district 'off Our State will pro
bably receive plower to give Its gallant citizens who
are fighting the battles of their country the same
right of suffrage which they would be entitled to
enjoy if they were at home., The mot panted last
year did not give soldiers in actual military service
the right to east their voted 'fcit borough and town
ship officers, and the Demooratio members of the
_Legislating; who *ere here at the last session
state that It was understood that no amok privileges
were to be accorded. However this may be, the
soldiers who enlisted from the cities of Harrisburg
and Lanoaetei wore a few days ago given the
coveted power, and now It is Nought to extend the
same privilege to the...heron; of Bedford, Felton,

rough elections In the armi are not to be conducted
by having polls opened in the different regiments,

One of the most interesting scenes which has
been witnessed for many years in the Pennsylvania
halls of legislation transpired this morning in the
House. The resolutions ratifying the action of
Congress in adopting the amendment to the Con
tititution, which in all time to Come will make oar
country a land of freedom, .were debated at. some
length in the House yesterday, bat failing to pass,
finally came up to-day as the special order. The
announcement that such would be ,the case at
tracted a large number of visitors, among whom
were many ladles. But few membera were absent
from their seats. The aisles were filled with a suffi
cient number of Senators to leave that branoh
withcnt a quorum; and every available space la
the lobbies was occupied with attentive spectators.
That the resolutions would be adopted the Republi
can majority was sufficient guarantee, but the Oppo
sition members had evidently determined to post
pone the adoption until the latest possible moment.
The speeches delivered by their leaders were able
and eloquent, but even the eloquence and ability of
such men as Pershing and Purdy failed to elicit a
single manifestation of applause, save from the
mi
nority, who naturally approved of doctrines which
they were elected to expound and endorse. Brown,
of Warren, and McClure, of Franklin, were the
leading orators on the side of freedom, and as the
one or the other uttered words of truth and loyalty,
forcibly bringing to his Democratic hearers unpala
table facts, which ai:mid have convinced even the'
most bigoted friend of slavery upon the floor,
or administered to them scathing but just
rebukes, the sentences as they fell - from
his lips were frequently disconnected by the inter.
ruption of the audience—Senators, Representa
tives, and civic spectators, as they signified their
approbation by their plaudits. The Speaker's gavel
fell upon his desk to no purpose, and only when that
officer signified that to prooeed, every person pre
sent must carefully look to his own deportment, was
order preserved.

the rebel General Kirby Smith :
"1 have just Conversed with a refugee from Texas,
who assures me that Kirby IS amassing a fortune by
transporting' cotton across the Rio Grande, where
it is placed in' the hands of agents, who sell it, not
for the benefit of the rebel* Government, bet for
Smith himself. A certain agent, a Yankee, whose
name I have forgotten, had received a largeeuenti
ty of cotton, whioh he was to sell, keeping half the
proceeds and paying thaother half to Kirby; bur,
by direction of the latter, his name was not used,
lest Jeff Davis might discover what he was at
and remove him ; and, accordingly, his Matamoros
partner made use of the phrase: To whom it
may concerti,' instead of Kirby's name, in giving
that gentleman credit, and all went on smooth
ly ; the profits were very large, but no division
bad been made, when suddenly the agent died.
Kirby at once viaited Matamoras in person, and in
aisguise, and called upon the widow of his agent,
but she was a Yankee as well as her husband, and
concluded to play a trick on the rebel general, and
accordingly she denied any knowledge of her late
Husband's transactions with him, but said she would
examine the books and be guided by them' and get
ting the books Kirby explained that alloredits given
"To whom It may concern," were intended for him ;
but the Yankee lady "couldn't see it," and de
manded that he should prove his identity, and re
-lased to pay him a dollar till he did so ; and as thiti
would 'involve exposure, he was compelled to give
up elbow,' Of getting his money, and went away

Southern Criticism on- General Scott's
Aritebtography.
[From the Richmond Dispatch, Jan. 25
We presented to our readers a few days ago an ex
tract from the auroblegraphy of Gen. Winfield Soott,
that illustrionsdefunat, who has been lying In state
in a. fine hotel in New York since the beginning of
the.war, 'ate repate.ti on was decently buried so on after
the firatbattlirol - Mariesses—hislkodtetill survives
though, having parted with his repo anon, nets na
turally engaged in trying to take hir own life, and,
Judging from the specimen fur with Ids atttoblo-'
graphy, he is endeavoring to dot asvery dell
Instrument. The paragraph copied In the Dispatch
is:an attack upon old General Taror, - oonsnaolair,
called "Rough and Ready," whom Scott, the
greatest man alive or dead In his own estimation,
disposes of, now that Taylor L i dead, In a truculent
and merciless fashion. We have nothing to say of
the good taste of making a hyenselike descent into
the tomb of an old comrade in arms. This is a thing
eminently in Scott's' line. But while he is endea
voring to make General Taylor r iditnions, he treats
his readers to an- exhibition of characteristic
complacency and pretension that throws completely
into the shade honest Old Zaoh's defeots-and pets!,
dices, and makes them quite dignified and regime&
ble.
In what we have to say on this subject we are not
governed by antipathies to. Scott because of his
Unionism. General Taylor was is good a Union
man while he lived as Scott, and, ior aught we
know, might have remained the same after seces
sion. It Is tensible even that, in 1551, he might
have planned the battle of Manassas instead of
Winfield Scott. We are very glad he did not, both
on account of our ancient love of Old Zaoh, and
a strong assurance that he would have proved
a much. more troublesome customer than "the
great soldier of the age." Bat we admire him
as an honest, genuine man, as well as a gal.
larks
el and enocessf * ul soldier. Thus much pre.
Mil ,we Cannot express our contempt of the.
no and Ludicrous assault of Winfield Scott upon
the dead lion. It Is quite characteristic of the vain
old person that he dilates upon Gen. Taylor's Igno
rance—not of the military art, mind you, but of
literature, of which Aid Winfield is each a brilliant
ornament. Taylor had not enlarged and refreshed
his mind-by reading, quoth Scott, or even by meek
converse with the world, having made his home at
the frontier and small posts. He had a great "con
tempt for learning of every kind." in addition to
this (oh, Shocking 1 .) if an officer looked like a dolt
_comb he was given to calling hints°, and would not,
to use his oft-repeated phrase, " touch - him with a
pair of tongs." An unpardonable offence in the eyes
of " Fuss and Feathers." The old man seams to
have been as prejudiced and illiberal as Percy, sar
named Hotspur. Winfield, who Is familiar with the
English classics, and who is one of the first of oleo.
sirs himself, will remember :
1 bad rather be a.kitten, and cry mew,
Than one of these same mstre.ballad mongers.
And again :
lint, I remember, Arlen the fight was done
Wheel liras dry with rage awl extreme toil,
Breathless.with rage. leaning upon my sword.
Camistbece a certain lord, neat, trimly drained.
Fresh as a bridegroom. &c.. &e.
To be so pester' t with a popinjay,
Out of my grief and my imnatience,
.Anewer'd negligently, I know not ghat.
—Probably that he " would not touch him with a
pair of tongs." "
It is true enough that Old Zaoh bad little learn
ing; and if he had possessed ever so much—as much,
foriestance, as Scott and Bacon—we doubt whether
it Woultibtrave made him any more effiolent in the
Northwest, in Florida, or Merle°. He might have
talked Latin to Black Hawk, Greek to Osceola, and
Hebrew to Santa Anna, without once convincing
them of the error of their ways. Why, even Scott,
who, ovary one knows, Is as familiar with each of
these languages as with his mother tongue, with
which no Man over took greater liberties, could not
convince the people of the United States that he
was a better aolaier than General Taylor. Every
one knows that Scott is an author of great and
versatile genius, that he wrote the Commentaries
on the Bible, In such general use among evangel foal
persuasions, and also the Waverley Novels. Bat this
•did not enable him so far to outshine old Zech in the
field as to become President of Vie United States.
Hence those tears, However, Scott graciously con
cedes that Taylor hod ~a avoid store of common
sense." It is a ;pity that Taylor cannot
compliment. No man ever possessed less of that
eubetautial comm. - ditty than Winfield Scott.
He even admits, in his lofty style, that Taylor
wan ldad,sincere and hospitable, in a_plain way."
No one ever said that of Scott. His kindness,
sincerity, and hospitality were all of a gorgeous,
gels. kin. Old Zitoi, whose pedigree was " F. F.
V.," and whose purse could have paid with! case
even Winfield Scott's debts, never approached that
magnificene in hospitality at other people's expense.
"The frontier and small posts had been his home.,"
Undoubtedly they had, although he had a plants.=
tion in Louisiana that would have enabled him to
live in baronial style. He preferred to do his duty,
however, on "the frontier and small posts," whilst
Scott flo urished about in large cities, with equip.
ages not paid for, and went to Europe, expecting
to excite a sensation in countries which were yet
reeling under the tread of Napoleon's demigods.
For had not Scott killed the King's English at
Liindyls Lane and Chippewa, and has ho not been
repeating the same performanoe in his aatobier
graphy 1
The sting of this famous assault upon Gen. Taylor
lies in the tail of the paragraph. "In the blindness
of hisrgreat weakness he, after being named for the
Presidency, seriously wronged" Winfield Scott.
The autobiographer does not condescend to explain
when and how. -.As he has a remarkable memory
for wrongs,_ we are surprised at the omission. We
never heard that Taylor ever wronged Scott before
his nomination to the Presidency, or afterwards,
except by being elected. The head and front of his
oflending bath this. extent, no more. Scott after
wards tried to reach the same office, but all his
learning, literature, and falters failed to effect it.
Be had not "made his home on the frontier and
small poets," nor did he make it in the White
House.
"I wonder," exclaims the' author of
Fir
min, "are al l old men humbugs 1" Certainly not.
We know one old man, however, open to that impu
tation. It was not Zachary Taylor.
The veracious New York correspondent of the
London Morning Herald writes this Story about the
insanity of General Sherman:
" We are °Metall, informed that Secretary Stan
ton has lust made a visit to General Grant's head
quarters to discuss the impending military opera
tions. I hear, from a trustworthy source, tbst-his
conference hinged upon a well-authentioated re

this indirect irtehion brought it tette knowledge of
everybody, as much as if they had been at liberty to
read it in their pulpits, not to spank of the com
ments and recriminations which Sakai givenriso to.

seminates among our Catholic populations alarm
which is taken.advantage of by public) malevolence;
andlt may give rise to real while It only deprecates
Imaginary danger. Dt a word, thls measure of years
gives satisfaction only to those - who are as mtiolithe
enemies of the Emperor as of religion and of order
in the country."
The Bishop of Nevers, though a littlesentimeatal,
is as einphatie in his protest :
"I am deeply pained to be obliged to tell you
(the. Minister) that we are all equally terrified and
affiloted. We have no fears for the Church"; for the
Church bait the promise of immortality; but that
promise is only for the Church. Heaven forbid that
I should attack, ever so slightly, the principle of
authority which is now but too seriously disturbed ;
- Or offend you who, by your 'kindness towards myself,
have every claim on m y - gratitude . Bat pee - cannot
but admit the embarrassment weans in"; we whoare --
the successors of the Apostles, and who cannot forget
that, as in circumstances of a similar kind, the ; Holy
Ghost will not inspire us with any other answer or
trace any other rule of oonduot than this: 'lt Is
better to obey God than man.' "
The Bishop of Beauvais!, Proyen, and Senile has
not only written to the Minister, hut has addressed'
a long circular to the clergy or his drowse. " We"
told his Excellency," he says, how many things
our public lex tolerates. It tolerates the moat al.
root attacks on the existence of God and the divinity
of His Son. It tolerates impiety and materialism:
and can it not tolerate a teaching whose greatest
fault in the eyes of its adversaries is that it opposes
ancient winotples to modern opinions I If it be Per
omitted in 'Fraziecto outrage the Pope and to scoff at
the doctrines of which he Is the organ, why should
the bishops be prohibited from laying his seta before
the faithiul with the respect and affection which are
due to the first representative of God upon earth'' .
He H recommends his clergy "to adhere in heart
and spirit to the teachings, the decisions, and con.
detonations emanating from the Holy Roman
Church, the mother and mistress of all Churches,"
and with regard to their - eonduet to be " predent
and circumspect in their weeds, and, without' ever
yielding where principle's at Kale, not to' exaspe
rate by untimely discnesion-the mistaken and the
prejudiced." Re hopes that with time and patience
the present clamor will cease, and that the people
will end, by understanding that "the. Holy Church,
the great civilizer of the world, hoe never been and
never can be llutzeneray Of true ofyllhatlon and of
'legitimate progress."__
You already know that the Archbishop Of Began
eon is to answer to the Council of State for having
read, in 'contempt' of the Ministerial circular, the
whole of the Encyclical in Us 'cathedral. The
Archbishop is, In virtue of his rank, a Cardin.al and
Senator and by the law no member or eithertaranet
of the L egislature can be "prectieded against without
the permission p 1 the Chamber to which he belongs:
The question whether the Council of State It a
tribunal, in the proper sense of the word, and
whether the Cardinal could, without infringing on
his privilege, be made amenable Wit without the
preliminary authorization, was discussed in the last
Cabinet Council in presence of the Emperor. It was
decided that, in the present Instance,authoriza
tion was tact , necessary, as- the Council ' of State is
not called upon to Inflict a material penalty, bat
only to pronounce a censure, and nothing mere.
On the other hand, It la stated that M. Troplong,
Flint President of the Court of Cessation, and Pre
sident of the Senate, is Of opinion that no proceed
ings can• be taken against any member of this body
without its express permission.
It appears that another cardinal, also. an arch
bishop, leas addressed a letter to- his Holiness, in
which, without expressing any opinion for or against
the Encyclical, he laments that its publication has'
rendered more difficult the relations of the °pilule
paey with the French Government.

EIGHT atrium FLAGS CAPTURED AT PHANKLINI
TENTINEIBEE, AND THE REGIMBETAL PLAG. OP THE
81ST PENNBYLVANIA REGIMENT.
On Thursday a very interesting ceremony trans
pired at the War Department, which wilt be noted
pith pleasure and priddby ,both soldiers and civi
lians of loyal feelings throughout the Union. it was
the presentation of eight blood-stained banners of
the rebellion triken by some of the gallant troops of
the 23d Army Corps during the fearful battle of
Franklin, Tennessee, so gloriously won by General
Thomas on the 16th of December, 186.4.
The presentation of the flags was made by Lieu
terrant Colonel G. W. Sotiofleid, (Of the staff of Ma
jor General Schofield, commanding the 23d Corps,)
who, in presenting the torn and bloorlAained co
lors, said :
I am directed by Major General Schofield to de-
Byer to yon, Mr. Secretary, these flags), captured at
the battle of Franklin, on. the 30th day of Novem
ber, 1864, by the let Brigade of the 3d.Divlstan of
the 23d Army Corps. The. ofiloers and men who
now appear before you are recognized by their com
rades as the actual . captors of the fierce they bear.
The - General dollies me to say that he deems the
bravery of there men worthy some notloe — by the
Government and also sends the official communica
tion which' I now have the pleasure of handing to
you, giving the names of the officers and men who
captured these colors.
The Secretary of War replied, thanking, in the
name of the Government, the gallant men by whom
the flags had been captured. To each of you (he
said) a medal of honor will be given In token of
your gallantry. The history of each flag will be re
corded by the Adjutant General, who will make an
acknowledgment to the persons by whom they were
taken. To tbemand theirgallant comrades in the
battle of Franklin, the thanks of this Department
are returned.
The officers' and men were then severally pre
sented by Colonel Sohofield, and were cordially
,taken by the hand by the Secretary. Their names,
regiments, &c., are as fellows

resident of Massillon, Stark county, Ohio. This•
officer's trophy was a rebel national Hag, believed
to have belonged to Cheatham's corps.
Captain Jobn H. Brown, Company 13, 12th Ken
tucky Volunteers, submitted, as an evidence of his
valor, a rebel battle-flag, and stated that his resi

Corporal Newton 11. Hall, Company I, 104th Ohio
Volunteers, was the bearer of two rebel national
Bags and is from Brimfield, Portage county, Ohio.
Private J. C. Gant, company G, 101 th Ohio volun
teers, of Damasoovllte, Columbiana. county, Ohio,

At an earlier hour of tab day Col. Wm. Wilson,
commanding the list Pennsylvania Volunteers, re
turned to the Department the tattered regimental
col Ors of the 81st. and at the same time handed to
the Secretary a statement of the numerous battles
through which the hag had passed.
The Secretary directed the Adjutant General, to
receive the colors, to place them among the
arcblves of the Department, to give an order to
'theh Quartermaster General to furnish this gallant
regiment with a new flag.— Washington Chronicle.
New 'York City and Her 44nota.
[Prom the Washineton Chronicle. )
There is, perhaps, no fact more apparent to every
One than that, as we approaoh the end of the fourth
year of the war, we exit= no signs of exhaustion,
either in men or money.
It is true that, in the agricultural districts, the
number of laborers baa diminished, but the inoreased
price of products has increased the wages and sup
plied the demand, while the cities continue to grow
in wealth and population.
The city of New York is to-day richer by many
millions than when the war began, and the census
shows that its population has not diminished.
While It Is oonceped that there appears no evi
dence of exhaustion throughout the loyal States, It
would not perhaps be appropriate to select the city
of New York as a criterion, illustrating the average
condition of the country. As the great metropolis,
it attracts the capitalist and the man of business or
pleasure Mau vy , ..-7 M . the 0014. Its inlet
commercial resources, its mantfraorn
and moneyed corporations, its ship and ook yards,
warehouses, steamships, and railways, a ff ord sm.
ployment for all classes of persons, and rapidly in
crease its growth and prosperity. With all these
facilities, it Is not only a formidable competitor for
nearly every article which the Government requires
to purobase, but is able in many instances to van
quish competition and monopolize the market.
The fabrics of New England, the coal and iron of
Pennsylvania, and the products of the great West
are taxed to support the-war, which tax In the 0115
finds its way to the groat metropolitan market to
purchase Government supplies.
This healthy condition of the country, as contrast..
ed with the desolation of the,,South, encourages us
to hope that from our groat abundance enhillent
men and money will be furnished to bring the war
to a speedy termination.
W e deny with confidence the doctrine that filling a
quota with credits Is tilling a regiment with men,
and devote the time and money spent in looking
alter old oredits towards hunting up new recruits
for it is now generally conceded that an army of
credits will not " take Richmond." In this Oonneo
tion we deem it proper to remark upon what would
seem to be a disposition on the part of some local'.
ties to evade their due share of patriotic) respOnal
bility at this Important oriole.
The most striking Instance, and at the same time
most unaccountable, is the case of the city of NeW
York, if we are to judge the temper of that people
by the editorial comments of the World, Tinley, and
Herald.
The drat lB opposed to volunteering, to the draft,
and to the war.
The other two support the war, and are in favor
of volunteering and the draft—exoepting in New
York. .
- The reason assigned is, not that they have al
ready done too much, but that they are now re
quired to do more than their share. With a
modesty that la at least becoming, If not peoellar,
they do not wish to take iron or divide the honors
that any section of the country may earn, by having
furnished more than its share of men to save the
Union. The city of New York, with an enrolment
of 148 COO, Is required,,
„under the present call,
to furnish 21,000 men, lees than ono , seventh ' of
its enrolment. Add to the number enrolled the
100.000 male residents fit for military duty who.
are not liable to enrolment, and the quota is ipsa
than one-twelfth: Compare this with other sections
of the country, and the complaint that the number
now required of her is too large is seen to be with
out foundation in fact. The statement of the.propc«
action Is Its argument, and will be corroborated in
any district In which arithmetic is recognized as a.
science:
But as the present quota depends, to,a great ex
tent, upon the number furnished under the call of
last July for 000,000—that Is to say, whether the city
has a surplos to apply or a detiolenoyto make gspd-.

.the 18th day of Taly, 1864—tb.• date of the call for
600000—to the let day of January, 1866—the time to
. which the present quotas are computed.
:The prosperouz oondition of the city, Its wealth
and advantages, which facilitate the raising of
troops, have already been alluded to. To this tt is

The stock market was quiet yesterday. therobeing
no disposition whatever to speculate la any kind of
stocks until the result of the pending peace negotiations
le known. There were bat few sales of Governatent
bonds reported, but prices were generally steady. The
IC-40e sold at 101; the 6.20 e at IEB% for the new and 109%
for the old. The principal reason for the discrepancy
in price between the old and the new is to be found in
the fact that they ars so well known abroad that foreign
brokers refuse to regard tie new bonds as a good de
livery. Another reason, doubtless, is that the old
bonds are almost all In the hands of investors, and ,
being thus absorbed and firmly held, very few find
their way into the market for sale. The supply being
thus restricted, while the demand is increasing, the
price, of course, has a tendency to rise, The new five
twenties, on the contrary, are largely held at present
by capitalists who have bought them In large quan
titles to sell again at a profit. - The supply le cons*.
quentlYkept folly adequate, and is sometimes in tem
porary danger of exceeding the demand. Hence the
priee_ le rather depressed. It is, however, important
for investors to remember that the new five• twenties,
though at present the cheapest securities, are intrinsi
cally more valuable tkutn . are the old bonds. And this
intwo respects: That, the new bonds offer a longer in
vertment—ihey have. two years longer to run, falling
due In IEB4, while the old bonds fall due in 1882; and
secondly, the law expressly promisee that the principal
of the new bonds shall be redeemed In specie, while
there is as yet no positive stipulation as to aped, re
demption in regard to the old bonds Under the influ
ence of these and. similar considerations, the new fl re
twenties will hereafter be likely to rise in pOptilar
favor. Mate loans were rather doll, and declined to
92%. City loans were steady. Company bonds were
very little inquired for, and the sales were light. The
sham list was some what irregular. Pennsylvania
Railroad advanced 1, mating at 62. and Camden and
Amboy Rath< ad declined 1, selling at 129. Reading
closed at t 1,%. Bank, passenger railroad, mining, and
oil stocks continued dull.
