The FilIibuster Movement.

WASHINGTON, Oct. So P. M-But lit
tie information has been received in official
quarters, in addition to what was telegraphed
yesterday, relative to fillibustering move.
ments as 20 the reported departure of
party of fillibusters, the only authentic &C.
counts in the possession of Government is
that they left in tug boat, about ten miles
below New Orleans, but which could not
convey them to the place of their destination.
They doubtless expected to be taken on
board larger and more suitable steamer.
In the meantime Collector Hatch and his
deputies, and other federal officers, are,
according to their instructions, resorting to
every legitimate means to intercept the
fillibusters. In addition to other measures,
vessels have been despatched for that pur-
pose. While these things are progressing
in the neighborhood of New Orleans, infor.
nation is received that number of fillibus-
tiers are in Mobile, some of whom were pro-
minent in the Susan flibustering expedition,
which vessel, it will be remembered. was
wrecked at Glover's Reef.
The Federal Officers at Mobile have been
instructed to watch their movements, and
act accordingly. 1t is not yet considered
necessary to serve out any new instructions
to our naval forces in the gulf and as all the
vessels now there are in possession of the
orders heretofore issued in relation to the
expedition, the success of this new fillibus-
terry movement is not considered in the least
degree promising.
Should the adventures invade Nicaragua
and interrupt the transit, there is reason to
believe that our forces would promptly
interpose. Power is found in the Lamar
Selledan treaty, and to its exercise Nicara-
qua would have no objections.
H. G. FAINT who has been adjusting the
two per cent. fund account, on behalf of the
Commissioner of Missions, has been officially
informed by active Commissioners of the
General Land Office, that there is due to the
said State on that account $4l7 500.

for Foreign Missions.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5-3 p. M.-The
annual meeting of the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, com.
menced yesterday; that is the oldest of the
missionary organizations of the country. 1t
was incorporated by the Legislature of
Massachusetts,, in l7l2, and the first mission
aries wer. ordained at Salem on the 9th of
February of the same year, and sailed early
for the East Indies. 1t is stated that when
the first missionaries set sail the entire
amount in the Treasury was but $4,000
now the income of the Society is about $685.

At four o'clock yesterday afternoon the
meeting was called to order by the Record.

ident Hopkins, informing him of his inabili-
ty to be present. On motion Of Judge
Jessup, the Hon. Judge Strong of this
State was called to the Chair the Rev. D.
Sheppard then opened the meeting with
prayer.
The Treasurer then read his report, show
ing that the expenses of the year were $4l9,-
2O8; receipts $35O,9l5 leaving debt of
$66,374. The permanent fund is $66715 ;
permanent fund for officers is $3S, $40.
A report was then read from the creden-
tal committee on the state of the foreign
missions, the most of which we're represented
to be in a fourishing condition.
The number of missions are 26, stations

The report of the Prudential Committee

payance, kind of priests, who are half ply
sicians and half jugglers. Their magical
science is in great esteem with the Malays.
The singular kind of life they lead, the pc.
culiarity of their costume and the long in
tervals Of their appearance among the peo-
pie, secure for them a certain prestige and
respect. Seen from afar, and through a
mysterious will, they pass for beings en-
dowed with superhuman power, to whom the
plants and roots of the forests have revealed
their most secret virtues. In a word, they
are believed to hold in their hands the
power of comforting health of iDficting
death. In accordance with this belief, the
Malays are careful not to provoke their ILL
will.
Naturally, the Jakoons are of an open
and ingenious disposition, and withal in
cllned to gaiety. 10 the appearance of
timidity they join the independence of life
without control, spentsin the midst of thick
forests and everlasting verdure. Respectful
without being servile, in conversation they
use an abrupt and violent tone of voice,
which strongly contrasts with their habitual
gentleness and modesty. They love strong
liquors and get intoxicated whenever they
have an opportunity.
1t is honorable to the zeal of the Catholic
priests that they have missionary, who,

VI.
SEIGNIORY OF ROLETTE,

Mention a visit to Pembina, and the
question is sure to follow" Did you meet
RoLErrE? were you at JOSEPH RoLErrE's ?'
The response indicates, what all who have
been on the ground acknowledge, that Ro.
LErrE is the representative man of Pembi-
ma and Pembinese.
Nor is this personal influence confined to
the Participating population of the from
tier. MIR. r. advice and cooperation will
be valuable in any future negotiations. either
with the Chippewa band of Red Lake or
the Dakotahs of Devils Lake, as the Min.
newakan is Familiarity but improperly styled.
The Rolette Settlement is on the west
bank of Red River, and the north bank of
Pembina, at the junction of the two streams
1t is a cross between the rectangular and
walled trading post, and the irregular
American village. Mr.. R. occupies a
large and convenient house Of two stories,
constructed of heavy hewn timber. Its
walls, and the massive window shutters,
which are invariably closed at sunset, sug-
gest the Block House of Western pioneers.
Adjoining the principal tenement is a court
surrounded by smaller buildings, which
served the purposes in July last of a store,
offices of the U. S. collector and postmaster
and the residence of several families. Be-
yond this enclosure, however, and perhaps
a hundred yards up the Pembina, Messrs.
McFErR1DGE and DONALDSON are erecting
dwelling and business houses for their future
occupation. Add to these Improvements,
the bark and skin lodges of the indigenous
population, who are attracted by the fishery
or the chance of employment, and the read
er may form an idea of the first objects
which meet the eye from the Plain trail to
Pembina
An hours ride with RoLETTE multiplies
points of interest. Within the town site of
Pembina, on the north, is the farm of PETER
HAYDEN, name destined to be historical.
Originally in the employment of the Hudson
Bay Company, HAYDEN in 1927 accompanied
the party which. introduced sheep into Sell
kirk, having driven them, with great loss
by the way, from Kentucky. Afterwards,
on his private adventures, he often went to
st. Peter, and probably was more instru-
mental than any other single individual in
opening the present routes from Pembina to

The most VirtuOus Woman in France
...Her Coronation.

The great annual prize show of the Vir-
tuous Woman came off at Suresnes with
great eclat. To those who had heard few
days ago the praise of virtue pronounced in
the stiff, pedantic oratory of M. Guizot, it
was quite relief to hear it soothed, encour-
aged, and requested to call again, as it were,
in the honeyed accents Of the Archbishop of
Paris. Although the weather was anything
but inviting, crowds went by the railway
from Paris to behold this ever precious and
delightful sight, and as fellow traveller in
formed me, with the GREATEST d" bonhOmmie,"
even those who had seen the Virtuous WO.
man before were only too glad to be able to
show the sight to others. At thee o'clock
the scrutiny took place within the church.
The VirtuOus Woman was proclaimed, and
was crowned with roses by the Archbishop,
who was really much more lenient towards
her for being virtuous than M. Guizot won ID
have been. His eminence then gave long
allocution in favor of rtue, wherein he ex-
hibited to the light all the good points of the
woman's virtue, showing how she first came
by it lin this case by inheritance-her moth
er had possessed it) then how she had
uidiuGdluCu Ivy uCfCI IICquCutluS, tuC
Sunday balls, and never reading romances,
which latter selt-denial proved beyound a
doubt the divine grace which had been shed
over this specimen of the virtue of Suresnes.
The village, however, declared with one voice
that there were other reasons for not read
ing rOmances. as the elect one had never
learned to read at all. But this reason, al
though reckoning as of importance among
stupid, ignorant peasants, was considered
not worth recording by the Archbishop
Morlot, great theologian, a great mathe-
matician, and a logician besides.
1t was great comfort, however, to such
vain and puerile people of the world as those
who had flOcked in fine clothes by the rail-
way to Suresnes, to see that virtue was for
once rewarded with something else besides
fine speeches, even from an archbishop
Three dozen goodly covers of solid silver,
with five hundred francs in money to the
most virtuous girl in the commune, and one
dozen spoons and two hundred francs to the
second best, gave one pleasant feeling Of
the perfect justice with which the virtue at
Suresues is properly weighed out and val
ued. The second virtue was decidedly first
in point of outward claim but that is a
rule, believe carried out all over the world
and not peculiar to Suresnes. Cor
