LATER FROM HAYTI.-By the arrival of the brigs
War Eagle and Isabel Beurman from Port au
Prince at New York, we placed in possession of
our files to the oath of November
There is report current at Port au Prince that
seventeen revolutionsts had been taken prisoners
at St. Marks. A Haytian anofwar brig, with
troops, had been sent to that port. Fhe country
was perfectly healthy.
On Friday, the 18Th of October, at nine o'clock
in the evening, hurricane passed over the city of
Mole st. Nicholas, destroying church and thirty
eight houses, and damaging about fifty more, be-
sides devastating groves and orchards and doing
other injury to property. The same hurricane
felt in Jeremie and other parts Of Hayti.
The government has passed decree providing
that all persons visiting Hayti shall obtain pass
ports of the Havtian Consul from the port whence
they sail. The captains Of vessels whether Hay
an or foreign, are directed to see that this decree
complied with.
All over Hayti subscriptions are made for La
martine's complete works.
The PHILADELPHIA UNION MEErING.-The IaqUir
er ofyesterday says: At the time when the great
Union meeting was in session yesterday, the streets
of Philadelphia wore the appearance of high hOli-
day. Nearly all the places OF business on the principal
,ir
streets were thronged with people, on their way to
and from the meeting. The day itself was delight
full. at sunrise the sky was clear, ana the sun
shone with great briliancy. As the day wore on,
the heavens were overcast with clouds but just as
the great meeting of the people convened the
clouds broke away, and from that time on until
evening set in, there was bright, clear sky and
pure atmosphere. May this auspicious omen
prove prophetic Of the future of our country.
A TELEGRApmc FEAr.-A Boston paper notices
that Friday evening last the telegraphic opera
tor put Portland in connection with Wilmington,
n. c., and Charleston, S. c., and transmitted mes
sages distinctly. Subsequently, Bangor and New
Orleans connected for the first time, and mes
sages sent from Maine to Louisiana. This is prob
ably longer distance than was ever before con-
nected in the United States, or any land teegraphic
line over which ineligible dispatches have been
sent. New Orleans, to inquiry of Portland as to
the time, replied, 8:55 1t was then 1920 at Port
land.
Nor APPRECIATED HERE.-A day or two since one
of the Cabinet officers noticing the coat of sub
ordinate a singular-loOking badge, and suspecting
its character requested the individual to call at his
room. He then inquired of the young man the
meaning of this device "Sir," responded he in
reply, "that is the Palmetto badge and signifies
that am for secession" "Thcr, SIR" replied the
high official, '1 will inform yoa that your services
in this Department are no longer required, and
your successor will be appointed tonight WASH
ington Star.
GOVERNMENT OFFICERs.-There are at present
about 1000 offices in the gift of the generna gov
ernment, for which we may estimate GOOOOO appli-
cants, showing that little under one-thrtieth of
the people of the United States interested not
so much in the good of the country as in change
of the Administration Does not this assist in ex-
| planning why President is never chosen for two
terms nowadays
