THE NEWS. ——m '' The Yerger cade has bcsu argued before the Supreme Court, but the decision will be withheld until Monday. Two-thirds of the grand and petit jurors for the district court, Washington, for the term now in aession. can neither read or write, and they are negroes. Thecaptain general of Cuba recently drew upon the Spanish government for §2.000,000 to defray current expenses. He was informed that Spain would furnish troops, but the money he must raise in Cuba. The Cuban privateer Hornet, was formaliv surrendered to the United States authorities on Tuesday. Her commander refused to surrender except to a U. S. naval officer upon an express order from the President which was complied with. The Legislature of Virginia, on Tuesday, elected Lieut Gov Lewis for the long term and Judge John W. Johnston, of Washington county for the short term. The Wells Republicans supported Alexander Sharpe and L. H. Chandler. It was a strict party contest. Wc have nothing later than Tuesday from the Tennessee Legislature. Johnson and Etheridge were at the head of the list, having ' received forty three and twenty- j three votes for U. S. Senator. It | was thought that Andrew Johnson would be defeated, eventually. Fathsr Hyacinthe, from Paris, who has made himself conspicuous by taking issue with some of the usages of the Catholic church, is in New York. He ia very reticent ’ but says he has not broken with the church, only its abuses. -’An attempt to secure his services as a public lecturer was unsuccessful. The national capital convention met at St. Louis yesterday. We : have not learned the result of the i "meeting. There is considerable interest felt regarding it, at Washington. They do not fear the removal of the capital, but fear Congress inconsequence of the agitation of the subject, will be deterred from making any further ap propriations for the district. The insurrection in Spain is sup posed to have received its quietus I in the fail of Valencia, which was taken from the insurgents with the bayonet, with small loss on the part of the Government. Since Minister Sickles has withdrawn bis belligerent note, he has become the laughing stock of the -diplomatic corps in Madrid. The papers are assisting by publishing his scandalous career. A cotton esse was recently de cidcd by the Supremo Court, in which John 11. McKee sued the i United States to recover cotton | captured by Admiral Porter, at Alexandria. La., in 186-1. McKee having a Treasury permit purchns ed cotton beyond the lines, of a rebel treasury agent. The decis ion was adverse to the claimant. I The court held that the permit was illegal and void, being a permit to do an unlawful act, and that the claimant had no legal right to the property. Indian Outrag'oa. Santa Ft, Oct. 19.—-A letter, ' just received from Apache pass, I Arizona, gives an account of the capture, on the sth inst, of a mail i coach and mule?, and the killing of Col. Stone, the driver, and four soldiers, escort for company S. 21st infantry, by 50 Apaches, under a chief named Cochisez. The news was brought to Apache l»y a man named Scott, herding 3(iO<-at tie two miles off The Indians captured Scott's cattle, but he escaped. Lieut. Winters. Ist United States cavalry, with 27 men. immediately started in pursuit, overtaking the Indians 90 miles south of Apache pass, Friday morning. A desperate fight ensued, in which 12 Indians were killed, and the mail cnachnnd team were recaptured. Thir.v head of stock, and a large quantity of supplies belonging to the Indians were also captured. Lieut Winters' lom is not reported The bodies of the murdered men were found stripped naked, , *nd horribly mutilated.

The volunteers throughout the Dominion have leceived orders to hold themselves in readiness for immediate service. It is said that the Government has received in formation that the Fenianas are about to attempt another raid. It is stated that General Canbv has prepared a report on the alleged frauds of the Virginia elec tion, which will show that it was an extremely fair election —muehfai!er than is usual at the election in Northern States. A private letter from Havana reports that on the 9th instant a battle was fought near Guavaimm, between the Spanish forces, under Valmazeda, and two divisions of insurgents, under Jordan and Quesada, which, after seven hours of severe fighting, resulted in the defeat of the Spaniards. Losses on both sides are very heavy The Spanish papers are silent in regard to this. Over a million gallons of whisky has been seized at San Francisco by the officers, they claiming that i it is not pure Bourbon production i of Kentucky as represented, but is i a fraud whisky and liable to for i feiturc. If such an opinion is sustained. several gentlemen who called upon the Commissioner in Washington, on Saturday, claim that no whisky in any warehouse in the country is exempt from seizure, and that, therefore, not a little excitement may be produced among tho revenue officers and whisky men in the principal mark ets, like Philadelphia, New York. Cincinnatti and Boston. A vein of excellent coal, eight feet thick, has just been struck on the immediate line of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, seventy-five miles < ast of Denver, and five hundred and sixty miles west of Kansas City. This discovery shows that the workable coal beds of the Rocky Mountains base, extending miles eastward into thegreat plains, is of the greatest importance, both to the settlers and the railroad Nearly three fourths of the entire operating expenses of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, is now for fuel, and this bids fair to reduce the cost of fuel along the whole line to about one fifth of the freight rates, a# ® State Ncwb. The Greencastle Banner states that two hundred and eighty •Indents are now attending Asbury University, with a large number ; yeUto come in. It is thought the I attendance for the year will be over four hundred.

A Curious Fact—Any person wha has the disposition to notice closely the county real estate trans fera, published by us weekly, will be surprised to note how great a proportion of the transfers are to ; Germans. The fact is an extreme ■ly significant one. It shows that ’ the population of the county is rapidly changing , that the Ameri can landholders are selling out and i leaving, and the Germans are fill ing their places. It will, trlao. be i noticed that the transfers, though 1 numerous, are mainly ot small a- ; mounts of lands, averaging from I fifty to one hundred acres. This will account, in part, for the rapid i increase of wealth in this county. ! The large landed estates aie being ' divided up into small farms. Thus a more thorough cultivation and a greater development result, and the aggregate wealth of the county is i not only increased, but it is divided among a greater number.— Terre Haute Journal. Valuable Loxgevitt.—Joseph Liston, the grandfather of our present County Survey on. Marvin B. Criat. Esq.' the man who pul the first plow into Sand Prairie anti Vigo county, ‘-still lives,” and is now In bis eight-eighth year. On Tuesday last, October 5, he cut off • a log measuring three feint in di-

ameter, split it open, and hewed out of it two bar posts. He has also cut and split several cords of stovewood, enough for his own use all winter, besides peaforming other duties on the farm during the summer. He has never worn spectacles, but is still able to read readily all ordinary print. In 1809, while the Indians were as thick us hops, and as bloody as butchers, he made a crop on the Lockport road, within two miles of Terre Haute, after which time the Indian troubles became so great that he was forced to temporarily return to Vincennes, the residence of his family and friends, but he soon again returned to his home in Vigo. He has now over one hundred and sixty-five children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His present address is Pimento postoffice, Vigo county. Indiana.— Bowling Green Constitution.

East Ten- | nessee. has lost within one mouth, i 427 hogs from cholera. j A Methodist minister named Me- j Gowan, committed suicide in Pon totoc, Miss., a few days ago. No I cause is assigned for the rash act. j A baptizing ceremony at Mel-1 bourne, Canada, was interrupted . Sunday, by the big brother of the | young woman about to be immersed, who thrashed the clergyman. In the sham fight at the Belgian military fete, two squadrons of cavalry, at full charge in opposite directions, ran into each other in ! turning a hill, and broke the bones of 14 gallant dragoons. The Pope has received, during ; the past eight years, an average of; 32.000,000 per year, gold, from Peter’s pence. The mineral wealth of Virginia is inexhaustible. At a railroad meeting in Charleston, recently, Hon. Win. Mines, the congressman from that district, said: “If I were to state to this meeting that 100 furnaces could be employed, with a capacity of producing 250 tons of iron each per week for the : next 500 years. I would doubtless | be laughed at, and yet such is the fact.” A Spectacle. The Now Orleans Picayune 1 Isays; “One of the handsomest i and best dressed gentleman in the 1 | city is a worthy merchant, whose 1 great personal care ot himself and his addiction to fine living have procured him a rotundity which while it detracts nothing from his good looks, utterly conceals from I Ids own inspection his extremities. The circumstance was on Friday morning ‘he occasion of. to him, ’■ a mortifying exposure, whilst ©th- j ea 1 inked upon it as an amusing spectacle. Before breakfast he invariably takes a morning walk, and > lii-i urbanity and polite recognition ' are looked for bv early pedestrians with pleasure. Dressing himself, i therefore, with great care, he sailed out. But. strange to say, everyone he met turned their hea ls and ‘ lau<iho<l, and some ladies from the' I gallery of a residence over the way I ran screaming into the house. ••What did it mean ?’ “At last he met n little boy, I 'shote immoderate laughter drew, from him the indignant inquiry : “ - What do you see about me, you little scoundrel, that every bod v laughs at?’ . t ‘ Why, Mr D . you’ve for- | • got to put on your pants ?’ “Overwhelmed with shame, the : old gentleman hurried home and j eagerly sought out the mirror. In his haste he had carefully adjusted i his attire, but had, indeed, forgot Lis pants.” , *” _ _ Mount Cents The Mount Cenis railway is making good progress. The mountain has been penetrated by the tunnel to the distance of six ami a quarter roilea. The remain- , ing distance to be tunneled is about one mile. The progress has al A ways been greater on the southern* side, where the work was begun and improved machinery first employed.

Tbe Paraguayan War. • ..-The war has cost Brazil at the rate of §35,000 sterling, and 100 nien per diem ; it has cost the Argentine republic £6.000 and 12 men per diem, and Montevideo ahout £BOO and two men daily, which sums up as folions: Brazil, 56 months, £56.280.000 sterling, and 168,000 men ; Argentine republic, 52 months. £9,360.000, ■ aud 18.720 men; Montevideo. £1,248.000 and 3,120 men. Mak ing a total of £66.888,000 sterling, and 189.340 men. as the cost of the war to the allies. This is not a mere speculative calculation, by a return based on most authentic sources. At first sight, it would appear that the losses of Brazil seem out of all proportion ; but it must be borne in mind that* more than three-fourths of the burden of the war fell on onr imperial ally. The whole of the fleet, and most of the land forces, belonged to Brazil, and it is stated by well informed parties that the actual army in Paraguay consists as follows: 22.000 Brazilians, 3,000 Argentines, and I, 000 .Qrie.iltids.. the Inst named being in reality Paraguayans. The injury sustained by Brazil will hardly be recovered in the present century, that caused to Buenos Ay res and the Banda Or ■ iental may be repaired by 10 years lof peace, lint the blow to Para ; guav has been final and destructive. Brazil has gained a valuable and efficient navy, such as she had not before., lint the loss in men and money is incalculable. Buenos ] Avresand Montevideo have gained ! bv an extraordinary influx of gold. ■ and a great trade iu army supplies, ' but they have lost in every other ’ respect -, many growing enterprises j have been checked or abandoned, j the administrasion of rural matters ; and interests has been totally for- ; gotten, and security for life and i and property has greatly diminish ! ed. I The future of Paraguay is a blank, i The allies have given it liberty, but ' the country ia now a howling : wilderness, which once bloomed i like the happy valley of Rasaelas.
