The Spanish schooner Of war Habanero. Esnan-

afternoon, after the remarkably fine passage of
eight days from Havana. She brings ir,pSrtap,
dispatches for the United States government. and
also for the Spanish minister. A. soon az she hove
in sight, one Of the news boats of the New York Sun
started away to board her. On coming near how
ever, our men were ordered off, and consequently
unable to procure any papers. information of this
was Immediately despatched to the Sun office. and
our Spanish translator then went down 10 auaran-
tine.
On going near, our translator hailed the officer of
the deck in Spanish, and learned that they brought
important dispatches to the United States govern
ment relative to the Mexican difficulties Whether
they were from Vera Cruz or the Pacific, we could
not ascertain, the officer absolutely refusing to give
any more information. In reply to a request for
papers, he stated that the mail had been sent on
shore; but our files, at the hour of going 10 press
had not come to hand. Should they be received
during the day, and found to contain ANYTHING of
importance, an extra Sun will be Immediately
issued.

BALTIMORE, July D, 1876, S O'Clock, p m.
To he Editor Of ds Uaion
There Is nothing new ofloeal character starting in
Baltimore to-day. The weather Ia warm but NOT
oppressive There is considerable excitement amopg
the friends and opponents Of the new tariff
The editors Of the Baltimore Sun have kindly AL
lowed me to peruse letter received by them to-
day. from on board the United States shin Poto-
mac, by the Princeton, at Pensacola, dated july IL
From this letter, il seems that the reported Skin
mishing betweeen the Mexicans and the boats of
the squadron, was Of quite a serious Character On
the first day, they obtained 5000 gallons Of water
and took with them u bullock, which thew had
killed. the Mexicans they met with refusing To
take pay for It, as Il did not belong to them. On
the second day, the boats reached the shore thew
were saluted with heavy shower Of nnusket-balls
from the bushes, and having no ammunition with
them, were compelled TO retreat TO the Princeton
Amer obtaining supply they returned to the shore,
and few well-dlrected shells from the Princeton
scattered the enemy. They secured several thou
sand more gallons of water without moestation.
This kept up for three days. until 900 gallons
Of water was secured! On the last day the Mexi-
cans were IN great numbers in the chapparel and
opened brisk fire on the boats, but several shells
from the fngate struck in the midst Of them, esus-
ing great havoc and killing, according 10 the Mexi-
can accounts, eighteen men; but one American.
named Perry, belonging to the Princeton, was
wounded.
The letter also states that the baruue Eugenia
which forced the blockade, sailed from Vera Cruz
on the 10th instant and was oyerhauled by the John
Adams. After being detained twenty four hours,
she was permitted to set sail for New York.

NEWS FROM THE UPPER MIssIss,ppi--ExrEN-
SION OF TRADE, &c--The light draught steamer
Cecilia, Capt. ThrockmortoD, arrived Yesterday
from the Upper Mississippi, and to her o6lgine Of
hcers we are indebted for the following account
from the northern military posts, &C.; The Cecilia
left 81 Peters on the 18th instant; at that time Ma
or Clark, of the United States army was in com.
mand of Fort Smelling, and had under his command
portion of two companies of infantry, which had
been reduced to one company in consequence of the
ranks of neither being full The Cecilia carried nm
twenty-three recruits, and others were coming in
from different quarters. Considerable improve
ments were going in and about the fort in repar
ing and rebuilding quarters for the officers and SOL
dlers, and some repairs were being made to the for
uhcatons, and a large number Of mechanics and
aborers were at work; and it is the design of the
commanding officer to so improve and repair the old
buildings as to make them as secure and if pessi-
BILE, more comfortable than they ever were Fort
Crawford, about fifty miles in the interior. Il al
present occupied by company Of volunteers from
Wisconsin, under the command of Can't, Morgan
A requisiuon for arms and stores was brought down
by the Cecilia, and on her return the necessary sun
plies will be furnished to them. The rumor which
reached here short time since, and which was pub
'ished IN several ofthe papers, concerning conten-
plated attack upon the fort by several tribes of In
dams, proves TO be totally without foundation. No
disturbance had taken place, nor was any appre-
hended The prisoners, whose rescue it was said
they intended, are still at Fort Smelling in custody
and little or no feeling had been expressed by their
countrymen concerning their detention.

THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES


We still forbear commenting on the interesting
proceedings which have taken place in the Senate OF
the United States. The events OF this day were
even more exciting than those Of yesterday.
The very coplous report Of the proceedings ex-
Guides almost everything else from our columns to
night, and compels US to postpone large amount Of
editorial, communications, and other matters pre-.
pared for this paper.
We can only say-in short hand, as it were-that
the tariff bill has passed the Senate by majority Of
one vote, with single amendment only, which does
sot affect the principle, spirit, the great details Of
the bill, and perhaps improves it. We cannot
permit ourselves to doubt its passage through the
House.
During the two last days in the Senate many
members have acted very conspicuous part. Upon
essential question to-day, the Vice President of
the United States had to give the casting vote
tie, (Mr Jarnagin not being then IN the ball) Mr..
Dallas gave it in favor of the bill. His reasons were
written out, and are published among the proceed
ngs Of this day. Ii is impossible to describe the
noble bearing Of the Vice President upon this au-
gust occasion. AS member of the House of Rep
resentatives said to us amid the scene, 81 would
rather be that man now, than the first crowned head
in all Europe"
The two senators of Tennessee were placed in
most responsible situations. Mr.. Turney's speech
of yesterday marked by force, directness,
an energy of matter and manner, which command
ed universal attention and profound respect. Mr..
Jarnagn the wing senator, discharged his duty to-
day with all good faith in respectful obedience to
the instructions of the legislature of Tennessee
in which State, the right of instruction has always
been held sacred by both parties This right, so
much respected in Virginia by the democratic party,
has thus gained additional confirmation by the act
of the wing senator of Tennessee.
Our mind is full of facts which we would desire
to lay before our readers but we forbear There is
one wing member of the Senate whose attacks upon
us yesterday deserve reply He shall receive it
in due season. This member has no authority to
read lessons from the Moral Chair, in consequence
of his merits either man, "a ,oise salesman.

bill,
Mr.. HUNTINGTON demanded the yeas ant
nays; and they were ordered.
Mr.. WEBSTER addressed the Senate, further
in opposition TO the meas sure.
Mr.. DAVIS made few remarks in final oppos
ton TO the bill
Mr.. HUNTINGTON followed in a similar strain
denouncing the measure entirely, and warning il
friends OF the desoalion which he believed would
follow it,
Mr.. SIMMONS said that this bill, which was
about to plunge the country into a difficulty, take
the daily bread from the orphan, and from mil
lions whose employment would be swept away, was
apparently 10 be forced upon the people by single
yote-yes, one vote would save all this distress-all

subject which he gave through Mr. Buchanan
in the last correspondence with the British
minister
Mr. G. j. Ingersoll asked leave to make
personal explanation.
Objections were made; and motion wa:
made to suspend the rules to allow him to make
his explanation. The motion was carried, l0a
to25.
Mr. Ingerso then rose and read his state
ments from written paper. He made three
specifications which, he said, he found sub
stantiated on the books of the State Depart
ment
One, that Mr.. Webster had made unlawful
use Of the public money
Another, that Mr. Webster applied the same
money to corrupt purposes
And third, that Mr.. Webster left the State
Department a defauIter in the sum of $4,000,
and that his account was not adjusted until the
10th of Feb, 1916

ter, in language both singing and bitter in the
extreme

ped but permitted to 90 on
There was an intense excitement prevailing
all the time.
Mr.. A. brought up Mr.. Ingersol's abuse of
Mr.. Stockton, of New Jersey, in the House,
twenty years ago, and for which Mr.. Stockton
made him 60 out of the Ht"ee crying He also
brought up Mr.. Is. SANDER 5n Chief Justice
Marshall of giving corrupt decision in the
Supreme Court
He also brought up the charge against Mr. |.
of delrauding the government in the celebrated
tea case in Philadelphia, when Mr.. |. was the U.
S. District Attorney in Philadelphia.
He then examined into the manner in which
Mr.. J. the accuser and witness, obtained the facts
he pretended to give. On this point, Mr. Ash
nun was terribly severe. Before Mr. Ingersoll's
statements can be credited, Mr.. Polk and his
administration must be convicted of gross base
ness
Mr.. Ashmun charged that efforts had been
made to induce Mr. Tyler to engage in this cru
sadie against Mr.. Webster.
Mr.. IngersolI said-"it is fase-a lie--the
lie of coward
The Chair called loudly to order Great con-
fusion.
Mr.. Ashmun went on-rebuked Mr.. Inger-
soil for his gross indeCorum- said he was not a.
fraid of him. and then closed.
Mr.. Schenk of Ohio, offered long resoIu-
ton, calling for a committee of five members to
examine the whole subject.
The resolution was amended so as to direct
the appointment Of an additional committee
with power to send for persons and papers, to
to investigate the charges made by Mr.. Ingersoll
against Mr.. Webster, with view to the impcach-
ment of the latter, if the charges should be pro-
we'd; and, as amended, it was adopted without
division.
