New YoRK, Jan. %.
The Evening Post says q merchant vessel,
alleged to be intended for the Chilian SER
vice against Spain, cleared from this port to-
day. The clearance was granted after full
investigation. The representatives of the
Spanish government here furnished no evi.
dence whatever against the vessel. She had
no arms or other war materials on board, and
under our revenue laws could not be detain-
cd. After the clearance was granted the yes
sci was seized upon Spanish representations.
She is now held under the authority of one Of
the U. s. officers in the city.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The Commercial gives further particulars
regarding the seizure of the Chilian privateer
yesterday.
A clearance for splendid propeller was
applied for at the custom house, and after q
careful investigation of the case by Surveyor
Wakeman the clearance was granted. The
vessel was about leaving port when she was
seized by the U. 8. Marshal under an order
from Judge Belts, which was granted on rep.
reseptatipus made by the Spanish consul, who
stated the vessel was going to sea to enter in
to the service of Chill against Spain. She
had no armament on board, but was well
manned and in proper condition to receive a
full complement of warlike material. She is the
Meteor, which was built by Forbes Of Hasson,
for the purpose of chasing and capturing the
pirate Alabama She 10 magnificent ship
about 800 feet il length. Her crew consists
principally Of American seamen and no doubt
Is entertained BY those who ought 70 know,
that she was going to sea to receive st some
place her armament for the Chilan service.
The fSct cf her having received : clearance
created much excitement among the Spanish
houses dow town, aad the Spanish eousul
showed by his psohPt action u the matter
that be really entertsined serious fears Of her

VOL. IL.

The Grand Jury of Lafayette comfy, Miss,
have found true bilr against General A. ].
Smith, United States army, for burning the
Court House and town of Oxford, in the sum-
mer of1S64.
The sovereign State of Mississippi, which
was never out of the Union, will be sending
North for good many of the Union officers
and soldiers who have been guilty of making
raids down there. And if we had copperhead
Governors here in the North, our brave Union
soldiers would be surrendered to the tender
mercies ofthe RECONSTRUCTED traitors"
We just ask our readers, patriots of the
North, to reflect a moment on this matter.
1t is men who indict our Union officers for
deeds Of war in the South that we are called
upon to admit to equal rights in the Union
and to the exercise of control over Union
men of all colors, whether Of the North or
South. Undoubtedly men who would indict
General A. j. SMITH for warlike depredations
in the State Of Mississippi, would hang Union
men within their power, without Judge or
jury.
Did our "boys in blue fight to Sc
cure an indictment by traitor grand jury for
their glorious deeds Of arms? Is their only
safety from the vengeance of traitors in the
fact that they keep beyond the limits of the
Southern States, and live in Northern State
whose Governor has the nerve to refuse to re-
spond to the constitutional requistion of the
Governor Of Mississippi or any other accused
traitor South or North?

An Attempt 10 Burn Titusyslle, Ra.


On Sunday night last an attempt was made
to burn the town. AT 9 o'clock house and
barn were set on tre, and an hour later
Chase Block, in the centre of the town was
fred and burned down: also Dreyfou's furni-
ture and liquor store, and the bathing house
of Fletcher. The block of the lst National
Bank, the Petroleum Bank and Postotice at
one time were in great danger. Three incen-
diaries are being tried to-day by the vigilance
committee, which numbers 80 of the best men
in town, and who are dreadfully incensed.
A gallows hasbeen built to hang them if they
are found guilty. Loss by the fire $4,000;
insurance 5000. The Lycoming County In
surance company loses heavily.
The most of the loss, however, falls on
Philadelphia and Eastern companies. The
greatest excitement prevails TO rid the place
Of all incendiaries, robbers and other scoun-
drels
