There is said to be proof in the hands of the
Administration that Gov. Douglass intended ia
king possession of San Juan the day before Gen.
Harvey did; in fact, that the proposed and con-
summated event were only separated by twelve
hours. The British Government is aware of this
fact and hence one reason, among others, for the
intended removal of Gov. Douglass. The Presi-
dent as matter of courtesy, will, in that event,
recall Gen. Harvey, but not otherwise, since
such an act might be construed into an abandon
ment of the American claim to the Island.

WESTERN Pork TRADE.-The packing season
has commenced in most of the cities of the wes..
At St. Louis the receipts of hogs are increasing,
with sales at $5a$5.50 net for heavy ones, down
to Sl.25 for light ones. At St. Joseph, Mo-,
$3.50a$4 is paid by packers. The Canton (Mo)
Reporter says From what we can learn from
reliable sources we incline to the opinion that
the amount of pork, or the number of hogs will
be largely above the last years stock. While
the number may not double lest year, the weight
will, beyond doubt; aud we are confident-the
weight as well as the number being considered
that the present season will show very large
increase over last.

Our MINISTER TO CHlNA.-By the steamer
Hungarian, we have the first details of the Incl
dents and results of Minister Wards visit to Pc
kin. If not as humiliating as the London Times
represents, the visit was certainly anything but
gratifying to the feelings of Mr.. Ward or to our
national pride. The Minister seems to have
been taken 10 Pekin for nothing and sent away
because he refused to PROSTATE himself Chinese
fashion before the Emperor. From our files by
the Asia we extract an intensely interesting &C
count of the terrible wreck of the Royal Oharter.

CURIosITIKs OF LrRRArURR.-An Encycl6 :
pedia has just been completed in Germany. in
two hundred and forty-two volumes. The first
volume saw the light at Berlin as far back as the
yer 1878, and the last has been published this
season; SO that the work has been published
eghty-six years without interruption. Only six
editors have been connected with the work, and
their terms of service have averaged fourteen
years each. A foreign literary journal, in an
nouncipg the completion of the work says:
This was steady and continuous publication,
which is the most remarkable feature about 1t 4;
the work never having been interrupted for
even single year during the whole period
Whatever happened-let there have been any
amount of natural, political or religious convul-
sions--kings died or been dsposed, great re-
hgious order Chat of the Jesuits) suppressed,
numerous wars begun and finished, Trans
Atlantic republic sprung into being, French
Revolution transacted in all its phases, a Ma
poleon lived and died-still tho publication of
this Encyclopedia went on, some three volumes
Of it yearly appearing, and as the editor or edit
ors Of it died off successfully, their functions
being discharged by others, who, like soldiers
on the battle field, stepped into the places left
vacant by their fallen comrades.

EMANCIPATION OF TIE SEREs IN Russ IA.--Tts
recent arrivals bring Us intelligence concerning
the progress of the great emancipation move
ment in Russia. No check has been given to it
by the government, % was reported short time
since, but on the contrary, the central committee
is steadily going forward with its plan, and are
seeking to obtain o modification of the original
plan which fixed the period of twelve years, for
the regulation of the territorial relations between
pei SAINTS and their masters. This long delay
they say will give rise to disputes between dis
contsnted proprietors and the ignorant peasants,
who are easily deceived and corrupted by that
class of oppositiorists, which consists of public
officers thrown out OF employment by the new
system, and discharged clerks and servants with.
out places. The work involves in its progress
the entire reconstruction of the social relations
of the population in way never before attempted
on anything like scale so grand and great.

JUDGE DoUGLAs.-The Washington cores
nondent of the PHILADELPHIA American saws -

The condition Of Judge Douglas health has
been the subject of much contradictory comment
N the newspapers, owing to misstatements made
here with motives which are very difficult to
comprehend According to the opinions of his
two experienced and skillful physicians, Dr. Gar.
nett and DR.. Miller, he has been in serious dam
ger for q week past, and an intense sufferer
Throughout, from severe attack of CONT, which
he's reached the stomach, and resisted the best
treatment and attention. The symptoms last
night were generally more or couragDg than
they had been, though interrupted at intervals
by threatening struggles of this painful and crit
ical disease. A vigorous constitution has so far
sustained him, and this is the Lest hope of his
medical attendants. This afflction has been
rendered doubly severe by the protracted, and
at times, alarming illness Of Mrs. Douglas, who,
for obvious reasons, has not been permitted to
know the extent of her husbands rel danger. q

GREAT AGITATION IN KRNTUoKY-A STAN
PEDE OF NEGROES IN MIssoURI.-A great deal
of alarm manfests itself among the people OF
Kentucky, in the neighborhood of Cynthia, in
relation to an expected outbreak among the me-
groes. The excitement was very great, and
many rumors were afost. According to state.
ment in the Cynthia News, the insurrection was
not for the purpose of taking possession Of the
different towns in that region, as was at first ru.
mored, put the idea appears to have been a
wholesale runaway project, by which in one
night, two or three hundred slaves were to be
taken from their masters, and placed beyond the
Ohio river on their road to Canada Of coure,
they were to be armed for the purpose of over
coming all obstacles and the railroads, bridges,
and telegraph wires were to be destroyed to
prevent pursuit,
Last Monday night week, ten negroes, Eve
males and five females, ran off from Lagrange,
Lewis county, Missouri. They belonged to sew.
en- different persons, and being valuable slaves,
were worth not less than $4,000. They stole
a fat boat, with which they crossed :, the Iii :
nois shore, with the help, do doubt, of Abolition
lists. A reward of $2,650 is offered for their ar
rest

Rufus Rood, the aveling agent of the Ec'ec-
tic Magazine, who hrs been about here for q
week or two, was ordered off last night by q
Vigilance Committee. Mr.. Rood was rather
too free ia expressing his views Of slavery and
not particular enough in the color of his associ-
ates, for this latitude. We understand that the
citizens of Staunton gave him notice to leave

strong ground against pardoning Old Brown
Assuming that he was guilty of murder and in.

Punishment in the government of God and

1t is the fruit Of love. Love demands that one

less in view of Browns mad freak than we do
in face of the fact that there is abroad in the
land sentiment that would shield him and
others from the just consequences of their crimes.
