MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

Almost the only news by Cable refers to casual-
ties. Two ferry boats came into collision last Sa-
turday in New York harbour, whereby two persons
were killed and about 15 others wounded. The
packet ship Isaac Webb, from Liverpool to New
York, was ashore leaking, her sails gone, and the
captain dead. The Ohio Lunatic Asylum at Cleve-
land was burnt on Wednesday, with six of its • in-
mates. By mail we learn that a storm, ou the Ist
inst., had been severely felt on the Lakes, several
vessels being destroyed, and much life lost. The
propeller, Congress, from ii to Chicago, was
lost in Lake Michigan, on Tuesd ty, Nov. 3 ; the
vessel and cargo were valued at $30,000. A freight

locomotive on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, 18
miles below Cincinnati, exploded, Thursday night,
Nov. 5, killing the conductor and fireman and
three boys who were standing near.
The motion to dismiss the suits of Kimberley
Brothers against' General Butler, at Baltimore, has
been refused by the judge of the Superior Court of
that city, on the ground that General Butler's pri-
vilege as a member of Congress did not protect him,
except from arrest of person, or service for person.
A fine crop of actions is likely to arise from this
decision, and on the ruling that those injured by
acts done in his military capacity are not barred
the right of appeal. Some one predicts that he at
the head of the Radicals will attempt the impeach-
ment of Grant within twelve months of the date of
his inauguration, but neither Grant nor the Repre-
sentatives are the same as the enemy against whom
he so signally failed, Andrew Johnson.
It cannot surprise, in the face of the alleged
frauds in New York and Philadelphia, in the for-
mer of which, it is asserted, American opinion was
swamped by the vote of ignorant emigrants, that
an attempt should be made to revive Know-Nothing-
ism. Nor will it surprise that the great spread
of Roman Catholicism is being met by the organi-
zation of secret American Protestant lodges. They
have been established in Boston, where they sus-
tain an organ called the American Protestant,
Lowell, and other towns in Massachusetts. It is
said that in 16 other States lodges have been esta-
blished, so that they ramify, and are nothing more
or less, we presume, than Orange Lodges.
Virginia went through the form of an election
on the 3d November, the Democrats claiming that
she cast her electoral vote for Seymour and Blair.
It is said that she will detnaud its recognition in the
Electoral College, and if refused she will take that
opportunity of testing the legal position of the
State in the Federal Union. Florida was the only
State in which the Legislature chose the electors.
All three are Republican, and one of them the only
negro member of the Electoral College. The vote
was 40 for the Republican against nine for the De-
mocratic ticket.

The United States appear to be carrying on two
little wars—the one against the Ku-Klux, and the
other against the Red Indians. Last Thursday it
was announced from New York that a Ku-Klux
band had been routed at Centrepoint, Arkansas,
by the militia, nine being killed, many wounded,
and 20 captured. General Sheridan reports some
successful skirmishes with the Usages, that 13 of
their chiefs had arrived at Fort II tyes to consult
with him as to the terms on which they could take
the field against the Cheyennes. The latest courier
reports the United States troops to be pressing
vigorously on the Indians, who were reported to be
suffering for want of supplies, and to be living on
mule meat. The troops were 133 actively engaged
in driving the hostile tribes that the savages have
no opportunity to collect food. The soldiers have
fifteen days' supplies, and the Indians, it ii asY
serted, will be reduced to the alternative of a battle
or else death by starvation.
Affairs in Cuba are not very promising. The
oable informs us that the Havannah correspondent
of the New York, herald states that the insurg nits
are in large force in the vicinity of Puerto Principe.
and Santiago. They were besieging Mazanilla, and
according to some accounts had captured the place.
We fear that American citizens may be induced to
lend their aid. The United States Consul
Havannah had an interview with the Captain-Ge
ueral, wherein it appears he put his caveat agains
harsh treatment to Americans, who might ge
involved in the insurrection. Lersundi's reply not
being deemed satisfactory the Consul proposed to
telegraph to Washington for a man-of-war,
which Lersundi very naturally objected. On the
Consul insisting the Captain-General refused to
allow the despatch to be forwarded. A compro-
L mise regarding emancipation is suggested.; the

planters asking for a delay of six years, and'the
exclusion of the negro from the right of voting.
If the Spiz it of the Times is indignant with Eng-
land and Mr. Laird for the Alabama affair, it car-
tainly makes no distinction in favour of the United
States when its own c')untry takes a similar course.
The contract for the sale of the monitors, Oneota
and Catawba, to the Peruvian Government by the
firm of A. Swift and Co., of Cincinnati, in behalf
of a "ring" of American speculators in ironclacls, is
severely censured, as being a shameful infringement
of the laws of neutrality. The contractors agreed
to supply and deliver on board the monitors four
15-inch guns, with 600 rounds of ammunition ;
fifty breech-loading muskets, uniforms for 180 men,
and the ordnance stores required for such vessels,
provisions, naval stores, and 250 tons of c sal for
each. The mmitors were to bs delivered to Peru-
vian officials appointe 1 to ree.Ave them "on the
c )ast of the Gulf of Mexie), iu Mexico, or oa the

high seas," as the Minister of INLxico to the
United States might direct. This is not a bad
commentary on the Alabama affair, which, by the
way, is alluded to immediately after; the Spirit's
advice being that a home commission should be ap-
pointed by the Union to adjudicate on the claims,
fairly reimbursing each loser by orders on the Trea-.
sury, retaining the whole account to prosecute
against England. We would all like to be made
judge and jury on our own affairs; but it would be
easier to give orders on the United States Treasury
than to recover the amount from the Treasury of
Great Britain ; and, on the whole, we prefer the
settlement made by that much-abused Minister,
Reverdy Johnson.
General Reynolds has been removed from com-
mand in Texas, and General Canby appointed his
successor. General Wallace succeeds General
Canby in command at Washington. Canby suc-
ceeded General Sickles in command of the Caro-

linas until they were reconstructed. lie was to
have started for Texas last week, aud, in addition
to his military command, will act as Assistant-
Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau in Texas.

He is greatly disgusted at the transfer from Wash-
ington, and has been condoled with by his friends.
Reynolds assumes command of his regiment, the
26th Infantry, at Austin, and when notified of the
relief exclaimed, " Thank the Lord." General
Steadman resigned his position as Superintendent
of the New Orleans police on Saturday, and Gee.
L. Cain was appointed temporary Superintendent.
The Water-street revival has now wholly come
to an end. The results have been summed up by
the researches of the New York City Mission, and
they are anything but satisfactory. It appears
that it was got up and carried on by a body called
the lloward Mission, which appears to have raised
funds by public subscription during the furore to
work the conversion of the Water-street sinners.
But they, from the " wickedes.." man, John Allen,
to the " wickeder than the wickedest," and fro°
him to the " wickedest of all," have relapsed into
their wallowiugs, and the public are eagerly asking
for the numbers among whom the regeneration was,
said to be " sweetly and quietly making its way.
Far be it from us to insinuate anything against the
Howard Mission ; but it does look uncommonly
strange, and his possible that there may be something
still worse than Water-street itself. Considering the
excitement New York derived, there may be ill'
gratitude in inquiring about the expenditure of
subscriptions and looking up the benevolent Howard
Mission, with awkward questions about its directors,
trustees, managers, its business, and its office.
California was expected to go Republican, while
San Francisco was likely to be carried by the Demo:
crats,and so it has proved. Great excitement prevailed
prior to the election, and Gen. Halleck, at the re"
quest of Governor Haight, had ordered troops of
the different military stations under arms from nine
a.m. until midnight, on November 3, to assist 10,
quelling any riotous proceedings. Tha sailing 01
the steamship Japan for Hong Kong had been pelt"
posed until the arrival of the Constitution fronl

Panama.
The telegraph operator who handed to Butler
the despatch he procurel and used s 9 unscrupu"
lously, addressel by Mr. Samuel Ward to gr'

Edward Atkin3on, has resigned, finding discover,'

inevitable. Mr. Okey llall had refused to pro-
secute in a former case, though the District Attor-
ney, on the ground that the man •had only done
what the Butler Committee of investigation did
Spring in a larger way, and that it would be illy
proper to punish him for acts perpetrated with its-
punity by the Congressional Committee. The Presi'
dent of the company was willing to prosecute, but
this injurious precedent stood in the way. S°
Butler's antecedents became at least valuable to his
own accomplice ; indeed, men like Edward Attia-
son might well shrink from punishing this la 3:
when he, for whom he stole the message, and bag
used it publicly, was about to be returned to CO"
gress by a moral Massachusetts District.
Mr. Peabody is in Brighton, where it is said that
Mr. G. W. Childs is to be his guest, and that Ntr'
Walter, of the Times, and Mr. Dickens will avail theta"
selves of*the presence of the eminent Philadelphia°
in England, to extend to him the same hospitable
reception they met at his hands while in America'
Mr. Childs has lately been staying at the Langhal°
Hotel.
The great litigation which has been pen liag
since 1858 between the Receiver of the Accessory CNie'r,
ragua) Transit Company and Cornelius Vanderbilt bae
been brought to a close by the report of the referee, the
Hon. John T. Hoffman, appointed in the case by JuuA g,:,
Ingraham about three years ago. The pending litigati°,
is to compel Vanderbilt to account for about $3,000,0010
The finding of the referee holds Vanderbilt liable Ola
for the value of the steamships—for six of which he b 1,5,
previously accounted—and a very small portion of to
subsidy, and none of the goodwill money received Cr%
the Pacific Mail Company. The amount due the coalPft
from Vanderbilt, instead of 53,300,000, is fixed at o'ls
$185,000, with an offset of $25,000 for certain papule°
made by Vanderbilt.
