THE SPANISH Morocco WAR.-There is
an account of an engagement between the
Spaniards and Moors, near Tetuan, on the
LIST of February, which appears to have
been the most severe that has occurred dur
ing the Spanish campaign in Africa. A
considerable Moorish force attacked the
right wingof the Spanish encampment, but
were repulsed. The Span;ards then attacked
the Moorish lines, throwing them into dis
order and taking their position. which they
maintained till the end of the fight. The
Spanish loss was 200, and that of the Moors
was estimated at ten times as many. The
Spanish artilleries caused enormous des truc-
ton to the enemy, and the victory OF the
Spaniards was complete.
Previous to this engagement, the Spanish
force had pushed to within six miles of the
city of Tetuan, and under the inspiration OF
victory will probably press on to the assault
of the city It has 10000 inhabitants and
is poorly fortified. It is the plan of the
Spaniards, as soon as they have taken Te-
tuan, to offer peace to the Moors, on condi-
tons that they pay the expenses of the war,
cede to Spain the territory she has conquered,
being about twenty miles of sea-soast be-
tween Ceuta and Tetuan, and guarantee the
PNoOOSOtOho
from the Moorish mountain tribes. The
last condition is considered most important,
as the attacks of these tribes upon Ceuta
were the declared cause of the war. IF the
Moors refuse peace on these terms, the
Spaniards will then press on towards Tan
gier. and new recruits will be sent forward
from Spain. The progress of the Spaniards
has been very Difficult: thus far, four ridges
of mountains with dangerous defiles and
morasses having been passed between Ceuta
and Tetuan, and the Moors excelling in
guerilla warfare and showing themselves in
domitable in courage. They show them
selves in the most dangerous positions be
fore the advancing Spaniards, but escape
with little injury in most cases This is
accounted for by the extraordinary agility
of the half naked mountaineers, who run
like deer, and jump down from nights where
the Spanish soldier who follows them is left
crippled on the ground. The population OF
Morocco is estimated at six millions, but this
is little better than q guess. There is no
regular army. except the sultan's body guard
of negroes, but hundre thousand Moorish
volunteers, chiefly horsemen. are already in
the. field or in the fortresses, and if the
obslinacy of the sultan is equal TO the cour-
age of his mountaineers, the Spaniards may
have long and tedious campaign before
them yeti Springfield { Mass. Republican

RICHMOND AND BALTIMORE.


The Richsaond convention has not enlisted
in its favor a very powerful interest anywhere,
Its approach was not watched with that ex-
citmeat of expectation which usually precedes
any national convention i'll which the people
feed much interest In fact, most persons did
not take pains to remember that the Richmond
assembly of democratic seceders was to meet
yesterday aud, even in Richmond itself,
many scarcely thought of it, and nobody
there, it is said, appears to give it much atten-
ton, That seeding operatio at Charleston
was not the work Of wise men, and it has not
led those engaged in it to a happy political
condition, They are all, or nearly ALL anxious
to return 10 their places in the convention
that will meet at Baltimore, and it is
likely that most of them will do so. Out
of this will grow a quarrel, probably, for
the friends of Mr.. Douglas will be like
ly to deny their right to seats in that body with
considerable vehemence. Harmony and
good result will doubtless be found just as inn
possible at Baltimore as they were at Charles
ton, if not more so. Irritation and wrath have
not lessened during the recess. In fact, they
have increased, and the unwholesome heat
seems now to be much greater than it was at
Charleston
1t is the coming Baltimore convention, and
not that at Richmond, which the damocrats
talk of, and wait for with excitement and anxi-
ETY.. Their battle field is at Baltimore and
the affair at Richmond is really rather lud-
crous. We cannot see, however, that Mr..
Douglas has gained ground anywhere, since
the Charleston meeting, nor that he has abated
one jot of his purpose to fight to the last for
the nomination, and tread his enemies under
foot, if possible. On both sides there is an in
describable, unspeakabIe amount of will and
wrath, with no such serious difference of opin.
ion as can justify the quarrel. The union
and harmony section of the party,-that sec
ton which recommends compromise, has
gained most strength and influence since the
adjournment at Charleston, but not enough
probably, TO control the result at Baltimore
and, certainly, not enough to restore the de-
moralized democracy to a condition of hopeful
unity. What they do at Baltimore will make
very little difference in the result of the coming
presidential election; and, probably, the bes,
they can do will have no influence whatever to
save their old organization from that hopeless
wreck to which it is doomed. 1t is very evil
dent now that they cannot be made to unite in
a nomination of Mr. Douglas and it is also
just as evident that the whole strength of the
party cannot be rallied for any other candi-
date What they will do is not yet clear; but
there is a satisfaction in knowing that one thing
is clear, to wit, that the democratic party can
ncyermore escape the fatal consequences of
its infamous kansas work.
