CArTAIS SIaas MISSION Te FosMosA We have
had brief intimations that Captain siruHss had
been dispatched, by Com Armstrong of the Fast
lLdia squadron, important mission to the
Island of Formosa, and some newspaper cores
pondents have at various times insiauatsd that
the msson was of retribufive or aggressive
character. and part OF scheme To obtain foot
hold on Chinese territory Official dispatches from
Com. Armstrong. recently received at Washington
explain the object Of Capt. Sinfns' mission it be-
lug to ascertain the truth of an allegation that
some shipwreeked Americans we're held as prise.
ners on that Island. The allegations were made
by Mr. Marcus l.. Woodward, of the American
brig Progressive Ago. who represented that iu
IN 1886, while on shore at the port OF fakow, an
accidental discharge Of his gun led to an attack
upon him by the Chinese inhabitants. who fired at
and wounded him, imprisoned hin aud Mr.. Go
mez. who was with him, and only released them
upon the payment of a ransom of $3.50.
CaPt. sHiDs does not appear to have obtained
much satisfaction with respect TO the main object
OF bis mission On reaching Takow he cemn.tini-
Gated with the Chinese authorities aud through
the chief mandarin transmitted tn the Governor
OF the Island a communication from Com Arm
strong. The authorities appeared very willing to
assist hiin in the prosecution of his inquiries and
he made several visits To the interior lie also
visited the capital of the island, the city Of Tawan-
no. Com. Armstrong; communication to the
eoyernor was however, returned unanswered. ON
the plea that the Governor not permitted to
hold diplomatic intercourse with foreigners, with
out special leave from the Emperor A general
denial was made, however, by the mandarin of
Takow, in the name of the Goyernor, that there
were any white prisoners on the island, and that
the authorities had any knowledge of the visit
OF the Progressive Age and the treatment alleged
to have been received by MIR. Woodward
Such are the facts Of a story of which much was
made at the time. Capt. Simms reports that his
intercourse with the inhabitants of the island WAS
pleasant from first 80 last. lie describes the is
land as having u fertile sofia dense population,
and high degree of cultivatioR. Also, that il is
"A place of considerable commercial Importance,
its principal prodncts being coal, campbor and
sulphur. Gold is said to be found in some parts
of the island.

COTTON DESTROYED BY FRE--The Charleston
Standard, of the l4th inst, says:
About halfpast o'clock last evening an alarm
was given, and as soon as it became known that a
fire had broken out on of the wharyes the ex
eitefnent became general and intense. The streets
were soon alive with hurrying crowds, and the
ready hremen were speedily on their way to the
scene OF the contlagrat0n. A watchnlan on duty
on Adgers wharves discovered fire in the Iaroo
brick building known as Adger's store, which ex
tends from the North to the SJuth wharf A
Steamboat bell gave the first alarm, and the wharf
was soon after crowded with people 1t is believed
that the fire originated in the second story of the
building. When the fire first seem flames
were coming out from windows In the second and
third stories. and soon after burst through the
roof. The building comprises three compart-
ments divided by irerr0of walls, and to this pecu-
larity in its construction is attributable the pre-
yention of very disastrous coafilgration. BY the
enefsefic labors of the rebien the flames were CON
hhetl1o the centre compartment, in which the fire
broke out, and Of this the second and third stories
only sustained any considerable damage. These
are badly injured, but il was impossible last night
To approximate TO the real loss The building WAS
closely packed with cotton, aud of this. as nearly
az 1t could be estimated, last night, about three
hundred and fifty bales were destroyed The
largest portion Of this owned by Messrs
Adams 4 Frost, whose loss is fully covered by in
