Although we published tbe pro ceedings of several Railroad meet ings in our last issue we said but lit tle on the subject, Dot that there was Dolhing to say, but from the reason that we had not the room to say it in. The importance of railroad commu nication with the outside world is j more severely felt by all classes of our citizens this fall and winter than ever. The Columbia River both be low and above the Dalles Las been closed since the third of December. The early closing of the river left a large amount of freight for the up per country at Portland, where it will hare to remain until navigation opens in the spring. If we had a railroad ill operation we would not be subject to this evil. A large num ber of passengers, by the early clos ing of the river, have been »topped from reaching their destination.— Our mails have failed to reach us, aud besides these there are a great many other inconveniences that we are compelled to suffer for want of quick and certain communication with Western Oregon. The govern ment this winter is alto inconveni enced by the want of the means of transportation this winter; its sol diers and commissary stores have failed to reach their destination. It is impossible for us, in the space at our command, to state all the causes we have for complaint for want of such connection with the outside world. To remedy these evils the the people of Eastern Oregon and Washington Territory demand, and necessity compells them to look to a railroad. Our Legislature, at its session of 1872, had under considera tion the importance of railroad com munication for Eastern Oregon, when they passed the act making appropriations for the building of the Sandy Wagon Road up the south bank of the Columbia River, from tho mouth of Sandy, in Multuomah County, to the Dulles, iu Wasco Co., and to throw nothing iu the way of the Portland, Dalles aud ¡Salt Lake Railroad, the legislature inserted the following provision in the bill au thorizing tbe construction of wagon road. Iu section 11 of Bandy Wagon Road act is the lowing provision* “P rovided, That nothing in this Act contained shall have the effect or be so construed as in any manner obstructing or interfering witli the location and construction of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Luke Rail road or any part thereof and the said Board of Commissioners or a majority of them inay make auy ar rangements with the Portland, Dalles end Suit Lake Railroad Company winch they may deem expedient, so as to harmonize the object and pur poses of this Act with tbe construc tion of said Company’s railroad or any part thereof.” In accordance with the above pro said the fol- vision the Commissioners and the County Court of Wasco county have country, when we are gravely voting appropriations, aside -from the million or more it voted to itself as back pay. It voted half a million for expenses of foreign intercourse more than the Secretary’s estimates; two millions more on account of the navy; three millions on account of the Interior Department; four hun dred thousand on account of the De partment of Justice; thirty thousand I on account of the President’s office; i j and seven millions on account of tbe Treasury Department. The estimates were about $1G2,000,000, exclusive of the interest ou the public debt.— The appropriations were over $172,- 000.000. That is to say Congress exceeded the demands of the Secre tary of the Treasury by $10.000,000. Of this excess more than $1,000,000 is to the account of the back pay grab. The appropriations for the War Department were under the es timates; but this difference is more than overcome by the additional ap propriation of $1,000,000 now asked by the Secretary of the Navy, to cover the extraordinary expenses caused by the preparations for war with Spain. The estimates for the next fiscal year exceed those for the last by thirteen millions. Those for the War Department run up to $00,- 180,000. Our army is not a quarter as large as the British army, and the estimates of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the British army are but $75,000,000. We are, in the midst of these enor mous ordinary expenditures, wasting from seven to ten millions iu tbe con struction of a large number of new postofiices, custom houses, minis, internal revenue offices, etc., for which there would be no call even if the treasury were overflowing aud the national debt extinguished. It is in accordance with the inevitable logic of such waste that the treasury should be depleted, the revenues short, aud that the Secretary must ask Congress for authority to increase the taxes. He demands $42,000,000 increase for the next year, aud backs his demand by the declaration that the alternative is a new loan, and that if we don’t raise the money the credit of the nutiou must sutfer.— Last mouth there was $10,000,000 added to the national debt, aud $18,- 000,000 of the $44,000,000 greenback reserve is already exhausted to meet current expenses of the Government, Moreover, the import trade has fall, eu off so much thut the customs re ceipts in coin—$230,000,000 last year (1872)—are not hardly euough to cover the intereston the debt, which is but a little over $100,000 000. The subject has enlisted the moRt earnest attention of the House Com mittee of Ways and Means and the Senate Finance Committee. Itcomee upon the nation line a clap of thun der from a clear sky. We have hard ly got done bragging about the rapid extinguishment of the debt and the vast and recuperative energies of the in granted to the Railroad the right of way around the Portage at the Cas cades. This places the Railroad Company in a situation to commence work on the most important section of tbe road, and we understand it is the intention to commence work early in the Spring. It will be seen by reference to tbe proceedings pub lished last week that the people along the proposed line of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad are in formed that it will bo necessary to add twenty per cent to the taxes or raise a new loan. It is a staggering blow to the national vanity. The Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee appears to be as much surprised at the situation as any oDe. Ho has set himself to work to find out, if possible, a better remedy for tbe depleted treasury than either a loan or increased taxes. He has dis earnest about tbe matter and have covered that there are $50,000,000 in come to tbe determination that this road shall be built, and to carry out this determination they are patting their phoalders to the wheel, and with or without aid from the govern ment or outside capitalists they will complete this important work. When this is done the country east of tbe Cascades will be one of the most de- j sirable places to live that can be found on the Pacific Coast. We hope to see the citizens of tbe treasury appropriated to objects that are of uo present use, and that may be abaudoued by tbe executive departments. Among these are the publio buildings above alluded to, absorbing from seven to ten mill ions. He demands that these appro priations shall be abandoned. The Chairman of the House Committee We nope to see tue - of Ways and Means takes the same Baker County come np to this work 1 J as they are able to do, and as their view as to tbe necessity of cutting neighbors between this point and the down the expenditures in the depart- Columbia River are doing, and lend ments, but he don't think there is their aid in grading aad tyeing the room to cut <jown t0 the extent of '¿t* th. •»» <* 8«,000,000, -tod b, tb. fn oar xakfct within tbe nwx* thre* j Secretary of the Treasury. He de clares the bock of estimates a marvel of extravagance, and savs before Con gress revives any of tbe abandoned tuxes, it shoald show to tbe country a disposition to cut off every redun- ■dant expenditure and reduce every salary possible undt r its jurisdiction. The situation is just what every prudent man of forecast anticipated. The Government has been for some years conducted far more after the gorgeous style of an imperialism than the simplicity of a republic— everywhere the expenditures have been increasing. Eight per cent per annum will not cover the increase in ordinary expenditures for the last five years. The statistician Wells pointed out this startling increase two years ago, but he got his walk ing papers for his fidelity to duty.— Now, at least, the avalanche has come, and there irf a general wail among the half fledged financiers, and a concurring avalanche of qnack remedies. One good thing, we trust, may come out of it, and that is a tjorough investigation by Congress and a general plugging np of the holc£rin the treasury. If this is uot done, wo unto the party iu power! for its days will be numbered aud its grave dug. The Mountaineer of the 20th, Rays: Sir H. C. Paige, Superintendent of Wells. Fargo & Co.’s Express, Mr. James Clark, of Grant county, and another gentleman whose name xm did not learn, arrived here on Thurs day afternoon, haviug left Portland on Saturday evening previous. They were detained a day and a half at Saudy river before they were able to cross, owing to the river being froz en over, but not sufficiently thick to bear a horse, but too thick to use the ferry boat. MrJ*Paige informs ns that they took six boards and nailed three of them together, thus making two sections. They laid those on the ice one seetiou be fore the other, walked an animal on to tbe froDt one aDd then moved tbe rear one to the front ami again mov ed ahead, and continuing in this manner until they got their animals, one at a time, across the river. Mr. Paige reporta the trail in a horrible condition. The Sacramento Union will, on Thursday, January 1st, issue a quad ruple daily sheet, containing sixteen pages, or one hundred aud twelve columns. The weekly, of January 3rd, will be the same size. The pro prietors of tbe Union are energetic, business men, and know how to make a good newspaper. Mr. J. W. Nesmith, on tbe 15th of December, introduced tbe follow ing bills in tbe House of Represen tatives: To provide for ascertaining losses sustained by citizens of Southern Oregon and Northern California by reason of Indian depredations in the years 1872 uud 1873; which was read a first and second time, referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs, and ordered to be printed. To transfer the management and control of the Indian triltes to the War Department; which was road a first and second time, relerrad to the Committee on Indian Affairs, and or dered to be printed. He also introduced the following petition: From the surviving office!«, sol diers, sailors, and marines of the war against Mexico, now residing in the State of Oregon and Washington Territory, asking for a recoguitiou of their services. XEH'S St MM.1RY We take the following from the Sacramento Union of Dec. 22.id. One-half of the supply of food in Bengal is exhausted, and it is be lieved that famine cannot be averted. Thirteen persons were drow ned by the capsizing of a ferry boat on tLe Thames river yesterday. Information has been received at Key West from Havana that there is a serious complication be.tweeu the British and ¡Spanish Governments relative to Cuba. The British Gov ernment seems to he in earnest in demanding satisfaction from Spain, and calls for the punishment of Bur- riel. The British uavalcommanders are instructed to immediately ren dezvous iu the Cuban ports. Yesterday an election fight occur red at Matamoras, Mexico, in which several persons were badly wounded by the shots that were fired. An American citizeu of RioGrande, Texas, was robbed aud murdered on the road near Ceraloo, in Mexico.— It is supposed that be was killed by Mexican baudits. The Attorney General has given it as his opinion that the Virgiuius had forfeited her right to bear tfie United States Hag. and*the Government will institute inquiry into the matter im mediately and adopt tho necessary proceedings. The majority of the United States Senate are opposed to the repeal of the baukr lptey act, but are iu favor of amending it iu several particu lars. A man at Iugerson (Ontario) re cently killed his wife uud loin* chil- dieu, ami cut his own throat alter- ward, so tline he will die. The affairs of A. «fc W. Sprague are in the way of immediate settlement, and the mills will soon again be iu operation. --------------- ^ ........... - — L A T K i\ E \\ S. G eo. H. Coe, well known in this portion of Oregon, died at San Fran cisco on the 17th, after a painful ill ness of about four months duration. He leaves a wife and two children, and a host of friends to mourn his death. He had been residiug for a i number of years at ¡Silver City, Idaho.

Information reached here yester day, from Huvaua, that serious com plications in regard to Cuba have arisen betweeu the ¡Spanish and Brit ish Governments. The advices aid uot state the precise uuture of the difficulties, but it became kuown here that the British Consul at Havaua received dispatches irorn Lord Gran ville to instruct all the naval coui- mauders iu tue West Indies to im mediately rendezvous iu the Cuban ports, it is staled that iu official circles it is certainly kuuwu the Brit ish Government will assuredly de maud tfie puuishuieut of Burriel.— The British Admiral has left for St. Thomas, where he expects to be re lieved. Admiral ¡Scott looks for the arrival of our European sq.udroniu a few days, when Admiral Case, un less relieved, will assume the com mand. N ew Y ork , December 20th. Several morning papers sLue that F. A. Woodward, who was Comity Auditor wheu the Tweed riug ruled, l as consented to turn ¡State’s evi dence, has already returned to this city aud given himself up to tte au therm«», and is now ill custody.— The District Attorney and his a»sts tains, while admitting that Wood- waid is iu the city, refuse to disclose his whearabouts. it is asaerted that Woodward has beeu promised im munity from punishment ou coudi tion of his giving testimony in ull tue King Cases wuicü yet remaiu to be tried, aud it is thought that lie wiii first be used as a witness du> ing the trial of ex Mayor Hall, which begins on Monday. It is asserted, ou trustworthy authority, that Wood ward is prepared to luruisu all the missing links iu the chain of tesii uiouy agaiusc the parson* accused oi fraud aud that his coutessions will be especially valuable as giving in formation regarding the mvisiou of plunder. It is funner alleged that he will implicate some persons against whom no proofs have here tofore beeu developed, including two or three persons now burning high offices.

The Beuaie s aujoiillitueht for the holidays wuuuut acting ou Wilnama’ uomiuatiou is ominous ol deleat, because a vote would certas my have b««n pressed if continu ation had been probable.

Rich Quartz. —The Trinity Journ al oi Jiecember 2 »th says: Jonu oeigfried, of ludían Creek, was iu town last Monday and showed us some piece* of quartz iu whiwh considerable free-gold wo* visible. He says that himself and James Mor- |ris ionriu the quartz during a recent prospecting trip iu the mountains of 1that section, but a storm coming on they were compelled to leave for home before ascertaining the extent of their discovery. They will re turn again in tho Spring. Should a ledge of that kind of rock be found I it will certainly be the biggest thing i in the State. j The Chicago Inter Ocean Wash ington special says it is now regard ed as certain that if the President fails to withdraw the nomination of Williams for Chiei Justice, he will be rejected. If this takes place, it is the purpose of a number of Senators to huve the real reason for the rejec tion published. The expectation is that, iu case the rejection is voted by the Senate, Williams will resign his Attorney Generalship. Washington, Dec. 21st. The several executive departments of government will next week begin the work of revising the estimates for the current fiscal year. The es timate for work upon public build ings, the erection of lighthouses, im provement of rivers, harbors and fortifications will be extensively cut down. The expenses of the IFar De partment proper cannot be reduced. N ew Y ork, December 22nd. The Tribune’s Key West telegram gives an account of the surrender of the Yirginius prisoners to Lieut. Commander Blaine, of the Juniata. It appears that the Spauish author ities, to the last moment, kept the poor wretchos in ignorance of their prospective release, and with base inhumanity led them to suppose they were to be executed. The priests were with them taking their confess ions aud dying declarations, and im ploring them to look to God for par don. They were taken out of the prison in despair, but on their way to the slaughter pen. as they supposed, their eyes fell upon the Juniata, fly ing the flag of the Uuited States.— When they realized the truth, a scene occurred which beggar» des cription. Their enthusiasm knew no bounds. They were speedily transferred to the deck of the Juniata and gave vent to the most extrava gant but touching demonstrations of joy, embracing each other, some crying, some kissiug, ami oth ers audibly offering thauks to Al mighty God for tfieir delivery from the horrors of the dungeou and the prospect of an ignomouious death.— On the night before the surrender the officers and crew of the Juniata were stationed at quarters, her guns being turned oa the city, tbe Span ish volunteers being excited to an open riot, but on tbe rumor that the surrender was to take place, a large number of volunteers went in a body to the Governor’s palace, and begged permission to attempt tbe capture of the Juniata, saying they could do it with knives alone. The Governor refused to grant permission. Our officers believe that the application was made in earnest, and not a few regret that it was not favorably en tertained. us the Juniata alone not to speak of the Kansas aud Pillta, would have been more thun a match for their assailants. K ingston (Jamaica), Dec. 22d. President Buget, of Hayti, will not vacate his office unless General Deminique is declared, aud a por tion of the House of Representatives say he shall not he President. Troub le, in consequence, is imminent. A company is farming here and in Loudon for extensions of railways throughout Jantuica. Yellow fever has broken out among Europeans at Port Royal. The dis ease has also made its appearance among the white troops. N ew York, December 22d. When the cases of Michael Norton, Thomas J. Cornier, John J. Walb and George S. Miller, Court house Commissioners under the ring, were called for trial ou charges of misde meanor, defendants failed to appear, aud their bail was forfeited. Andrew S. Smith, indicted for the same offense, pleaded not guilty.— Smith’s consel described his client as “ the last rose of summer left blooming alone, all his lovelv com panions are faded aud gone.” Ex Mayor Hail was pre0eut with his counsel. New Y ork, Deo. 22nd. Harry Geuet, a couvicted memlier of the late ring, was permitted to visit his wife by a Deputy Sheriff iu charge of him last night, and has not been seen since. He was to have been sentenced to-day. Iu the Court of Oyer and Terminer to day Judge Daniels characterized the escape of Genet as gross neglect, and due to tue gross misconduct of the Deputy Sheriff; but said that un til it was ascertained that steps for his rearrest were unsuccessful no ac- tiou would be taken iu the matter.— Genet’* counsel said they would pro ceed to perfect their bill of except ions. Sheriff BrenDan offers a reward of S5.00U for the recapture oi Harry Genet, who escaped from his deputy last night. P ortland, Dec. 22nd. Mrs. Farley, who lives in the east ern portion i f the city, in a fit of in sanity killed her young babe, three months old, aud then put it in a stove and burned it to a crisp. She is raving crazy and was taken to the asylum. The river is reported clear of ice below St. Helens. The Navigator arrived yesterday.coming up through the slough. River steamersarb now running betweeu here aDd Astoria. The opposition stage was overturn ed by a runaway team Saturday night. ------ Johnson, ot Tacoma, was killed, and tbe driver is not ex- p«*oted to live. The other passsu- gers were uot hurt. A young man at Austin, Nev., the other day made a serious mistake.— He bought a nice dress pattern for hia sweetheart, and a pair of red flan- □el drawers for himself. He deliv- ered the wrong bundle to the young lady. Result—a broken head and a ruined frying pan. JAS. W.

Although we published tbe pro­ceedings of several Railroad meet­ings in our last issue we said but lit­tle on the subject, Dot that there was Dolhing to say, but from the reason that we had not the room to say it in. The importance of railroad commu­nication with the outside world is j more severely felt by all classes of our citizens this fall and winter than ever. The Columbia River both be­low and above the Dalles Las been closed since the third of December. The early closing of the river left a large amount of freight for the up­per country at Portland, where it will hare to remain until navigation opens in the spring. If we had a railroad ill operation we would not be subject to this evil. A large num­ber of passengers, by the early clos­ing of the river, have been »topped from reaching their destination.— Our mails have failed to reach us, aud besides these there are a great many other inconveniences that we are compelled to suffer for want of quick and certain communication with Western Oregon. The govern­ment this winter is alto inconveni­enced by the want of the means of transportation this winter; its sol diers and commissary stores have failed to reach their destination. It is impossible for us, in the space at our command, to state all the causes we have for complaint for want of such connection with the outside world. To remedy these evils the the people of Eastern Oregon and Washington Territory demand, and necessity compells them to look to a railroad. Our Legislature, at its session of 1872, had under considera­tion the importance of railroad com­munication for Eastern Oregon, when they passed the act making appropriations for the building of the Sandy Wagon Road up the south bank of the Columbia River, from tho mouth of Sandy, in Multuomah County, to the Dulles, iu Wasco Co., and to throw nothing iu the way of the Portland, Dalles aud ¡Salt Lake Railroad, the legislature inserted the following provision in the bill au­thorizing tbe construction of wagon road. Iu section 11 of Bandy Wagon Road act is the lowing provision*

“ Provided, That nothing in this Act contained shall have the effect or be so construed as in any manner obstructing or interfering witli the location and construction of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Luke Rail­road or any part thereof and the said Board of Commissioners or a majority of them inay make auy ar­rangements with the Portland, Dalles end Suit Lake Railroad Company winch they may deem expedient, so as to harmonize the object and pur­poses of this Act with tbe construc­tion of said Company’s railroad or any part thereof.”

In accordance with the above pro

saidthefol-

vision the Commissioners and the County Court of Wasco county have country, when we are gravely

voting appropriations, aside -from the million or more it voted to itself as back pay. It voted half a million for expenses of foreign intercourse more than the Secretary’s estimates; two millions more on account of the navy; three millions on account of the Interior Department; four hun­dred thousand on account of the De­partment of Justice; thirty thousand

I on account of the President’s office;ij and seven millions on account of tbe Treasury Department. The estimates were about $1G2,000,000, exclusive of the interest ou the public debt.— The appropriations were over $172,- 000.000. That is to say Congress exceeded the demands of the Secre­tary of the Treasury by $10.000,000. Of this excess more than $1,000,000 is to the account of the back pay grab. The appropriations for the War Department were under the es­timates; but this difference is more than overcome by the additional ap propriation of $1,000,000 now asked by the Secretary of the Navy, to cover the extraordinary expenses caused by the preparations for war with Spain. The estimates for the next fiscal year exceed those for the last by thirteen millions. Those for the War Department run up to $00,- 180,000. Our army is not a quarter as large as the British army, and the estimates of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the British army are but $75,000,000.

We are, in the midst of these enor­mous ordinary expenditures, wasting from seven to ten millions iu tbe con­struction of a large number of new postofiices, custom houses, minis, internal revenue offices, etc., for which there would be no call even if the treasury were overflowing aud the national debt extinguished. It is in accordance with the inevitable logic of such waste that the treasury should be depleted, the revenues short, aud that the Secretary must ask Congress for authority to increase the taxes. He demands $42,000,000 increase for the next year, aud backs his demand by the declaration that the alternative is a new loan, and that if we don’t raise the money the credit of the nutiou must sutfer.— Last mouth there was $10,000,000 added to the national debt, aud $18,- 000,000 of the $44,000,000 greenback reserve is already exhausted to meet current expenses of the Government, Moreover, the import trade has fall, eu off so much thut the customs re­ceipts in coin—$230,000,000 last year (1872)—are not hardly euough to cover the intereston the debt, which is but a little over $100,000 000.

The subject has enlisted the moRt earnest attention of the House Com­mittee of Ways and Means and the Senate Finance Committee. Itcomee upon the nation line a clap of thun­der from a clear sky. We have hard­ly got done bragging about the rapid extinguishment of the debt and the vast and recuperative energies of the

in­granted to the Railroad the right of way around the Portage at the Cas­cades. This places the Railroad Company in a situation to commence work on the most important section of tbe road, and we understand it is the intention to commence work early in the Spring. It will be seen by reference to tbe proceedings pub­lished last week that the people along the proposed line of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad are in

formed that it will bo necessary to add twenty per cent to the taxes or raise a new loan. It is a staggering blow to the national vanity. The Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee appears to be as much surprised at the situation as any oDe. Ho has set himself to work to find out, if possible, a better remedy for tbe depleted treasury than either a loan or increased taxes. He has dis

earnest about tbe matter and have covered that there are $50,000,000 in come to tbe determination that thisroad shall be built, and to carry out this determination they are patting their phoalders to the wheel, and with or without aid from the govern­ment or outside capitalists they will complete this important work. When this is done the country east of tbe Cascades will be one of the most de- j sirable places to live that can be found on the Pacific Coast.

We hope to see the citizens of

tbe treasury appropriated to objects that are of uo present use, and that may be abaudoued by tbe executive departments. Among these are the publio buildings above alluded to, absorbing from seven to ten mill­ions. He demands that these appro­priations shall be abandoned. The Chairman of the House Committee

We nope to see tue - of Ways and Means takes the sameBaker County come np to this work 1 Jas they are able to do, and as their view as to tbe necessity of cutting neighbors between this point and the down the expenditures in the depart- C o l u m b i a River are doing, and lend ments, but he don't think there is their aid in grading aad tyeing the room to cut <jown t0 the extent of'¿t* th. •»» <* 8«,000,000, -tod b, tb.fn oar xakfct within tbe nwx* thre* j Secretary of the Treasury. He de­

clares the bock of estimates a marvelof extravagance, and savs before Con­gress revives any of tbe abandoned tuxes, it shoald show to tbe country a disposition to cut off every redun-

■ dant expenditure and reduce every salary possible undt r its jurisdiction.

The situation is just what every prudent man of forecast anticipated. The Government has been for some years conducted far more after the gorgeous style of an imperialism than the simplicity of a republic— everywhere the expenditures have been increasing. Eight per cent per annum will not cover the increase in ordinary expenditures for the last five years. The statistician Wells pointed out this startling increase two years ago, but he got his walk­ing papers for his fidelity to duty.— Now, at least, the avalanche has come, and there irf a general wail among the half fledged financiers, and a concurring avalanche of qnack remedies. One good thing, we trust, may come out of it, and that is a tjorough investigation by Congress and a general plugging np of the holc£rin the treasury. If this is uot done, wo unto the party iu power! for its days will be numbered aud its grave dug.

The Mountaineer of the 20th, Rays:Sir H. C. Paige, Superintendent

of Wells. Fargo & Co.’s Express, Mr. James Clark, of Grant county, and another gentleman whose name xm did not learn, arrived here on Thurs­day afternoon, haviug left Portland on Saturday evening previous. They were detained a day and a half at Saudy river before they were able to cross, owing to the river being froz­en over, but not sufficiently thick to bear a horse, but too thick to use the ferry boat. MrJ*Paige informs ns that they took six boards and nailed three of them together, thus making two sections. They laid those on the ice one seetiou be­fore the other, walked an animal on to tbe froDt one aDd then moved tbe rear one to the front ami again mov ed ahead, and continuing in this manner until they got their animals, one at a time, across the river. Mr. Paige reporta the trail in a horrible condition.

New York, December 22nd.The Tribune’s Key West telegram

gives an account of the surrender of the Yirginius prisoners to Lieut. Commander Blaine, of the Juniata. It appears that the Spauish author­ities, to the last moment, kept the poor wretchos in ignorance o f their prospective release, and with base inhumanity led them to suppose they were to be executed. The priests were with them taking their confess ions aud dying declarations, and im­ploring them to look to God for par­don. They were taken out of the prison in despair, but on their way to the slaughter pen. as they supposed, their eyes fell upon the Juniata, fly­ing the flag of the Uuited States.— When they realized the truth, a scene occurred which beggar» des­cription. Their enthusiasm knew no bounds. They were speedily transferred to the deck of the Juniata and gave vent to the most extrava­gant but touching demonstrations of joy, embracing each other, some crying, some kissiug, ami oth­ers audibly offering thauks to A l­mighty God for tfieir delivery from the horrors of the dungeou and the prospect of an ignomouious death.— On the night before the surrender the officers and crew of the Juniata were stationed at quarters, her guns being turned oa the city, tbe Span­ish volunteers being excited to an open riot, but on tbe rumor that the surrender was to take place, a large number of volunteers went in a body to the Governor’s palace, and begged permission to attempt tbe capture of the Juniata, saying they could do it with knives alone. The Governor refused to grant permission. Our officers believe that the application was made in earnest, and not a few regret that it was not favorably en­tertained. us the Juniata alone not to speak of the Kansas aud Pillta, would have been more thun a match for their assailants.
