The SPANISH AMERICAN WAR.-Wc published
on Saturday number of interesting letters from
our correspondents on the Pacific coast, viz,
Panama, Valparaiso and Lima. A vivid de-
scription is given of the attack by a company
or two of Chilean infantry upon the Spanish
frigate Blanca, in which the latter suffered
heavily and was obliged to haul off, General
Fitzpatrick, the new American Minister to
Chile, was received by the President of the
republic, and mutual congratulations were
passed. The American naval officers and sail
ors were in great favor among the Chileans,
the city of Valparaiso having been illuminated
in their honor. TIE American uniform It is
stated, was passport to all circles The re-
port that the Spanish feet were about TO bonn
bard Valparaiso as an act of vengeance Ia
reafirmed but the positions Of the American,
English and French sqaadrons indicate that
such an act Of bravoism and atrocity will not
be submitted to without decided protest.

very close to the whsrves. Outside of these
were the English ships increased in number
by the arrival OF the Devastation and the
French war ship D'Assas Beyond all are the
vessels Of the Spanish blockading squadron.
II appears, therefore, that the Spaniards will
be obliged 10 fire over the American, English
and French men-oEwar in order to destroy the
city. This will be q dangerous experiment.
and one that the Spanish Admiral will hardly
dare venture. The new American Minister Is
known as one Of the pluckiest and most
spirited soldiers of the war, and II will not do
for the Spaniards to trespass too far in seek
ing their revenge against the brave Chilcans.
The bombardment OF Valparaiso is urged by
the government papers in Madrid simply as an
act Of vengeance and retaliation against Chile,
without the remotest prospect Of obtaining any
substantial ends. Suppose the city to be bonn
barded, the coast laid waste, and the Spaniards
withdraw, like bully who has logged some
weak and harmless person, will that close the
war; We do not think II will; but, on the con.
trary, II may stir the allied enemies Of Spain TO
more vigorous hostilities, including fleets Of
Chilean privateers, and, II Is not impossible,
demonstrations against that jewel In the Span

STRIKES-COCNTER CURRENrS.-The result OF
the recent strikes on the city railroads proves
the strength Of the natural counter currents
which have set in against such demands. The
sympathy Of the masses was evidently with
the strikers; most Of the city journals advocated
their claims the greatest difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting substitutes TO Oil their
places, and yet the movement failed. The
cause of the failure lay not in the unreasonable
demands of the men, but in the operation of
certain fxed laws which regulate the price of
labor. No one will contend that, taking the
present prices of the necessaries of life and
house rents into account, the employees Of the
Companies asked what was unfair. The mis-
take they made was in asking II too late. Had
they struck for it six months before the termi-
nation Of the war they would unquestion-
ably have obtained it. Then the tendency Of
everything was upward, and II would have
been impossible to have resisted their appeal
With any show Of justice.
Now the contrary is the case. Although the
rates Of living have not altered, and the poor
man finds it just as difficult to keep within his
earnings as he did before the termination Of
the war, his condition will daily continue to i'm
prove. The contraction of the currency, both
by the withdrawal ordered by Congress and
its circulation over the large additional area
brought within its operation by thc return of
the Southern States to the Union, will bring
down the prices of everything just as surely
as imitation before the war drove them up. Arti-
sans and laborers must not imagine that their
wages will be any exception to this rule. They
will share, like every other interest, in the
downward tendency; SO that II is sheer folly
for them to think that they can prevent 1t, still
less exact higher wages than they are now
earning.
In Great Britain, Immediately after the close
OF the Peninsular war, the prices Of the neces-
saries Of life and wages were relatively as
high as they are at present in this country.
Now they are nearly at the rates that prevailed
previous TO the time when England COM

Owing to the success Of their combinations, II

prices can be forced down again; but that they
will be so no one can doubt. The continuance
of high prices even for this short period is

These extraordinary proceedings in American
seas are all Of the same piece with the long
record Of British aggressions in both hemi-
spheres, but their history has not yet been
made known, and It is surprising that no
representative in Congress from the maritime
districts Of the Union has yet called for the
full reports of these doings which are on file
in the departments at Washington. They
would serve, as we are informed, to point

Texas-AnOthor Proclamation from the
President Needed.
There has been some Misrepresentation about
the Presidents proclamation Of the second of
April, declaring that the instruction which
heretofore existed in the States Of Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Ten
nessee, Alabama Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Florida is at an end, and henceforth
to be 80 regarded. Judge Underwood, Of vir-
ginia, has assumed, in his decision upon q case
that came before him, that the proclamation
has not restored the writ of habeas corpus. The
Secretary Of War; in the administration Of his
department, takes the same view. 1t has been
said that the President himself does not mean
that martial law ceases to exist by this pro-
clamation, though there has not been anything
said or done officially by him to authorize such
an assumption. Still the question remains I'M
settled, and we have to wait for further ex-
PLANTATION or action in the matter
The President did not include Texas in his
proclamation, because at the time it was pub
lished there was no official information that
this State had been reorganized in due form, as
were the other States. Since then, however, in
formation has been received that Texas has been
fully reorganized according to the requirement
Of the executive government at Washington,
and is now in precisely the same position as the
other Southern States. This fact will be
shortly announced to the President in the
proper official way, if that has not been done
already. We may expect, then, at an early
day, another proclamation from the President,
announcing that all the States lately in insur-
recton are in restored, peaceful condition.
We presume, too, that Mr.. johnson will then
clear up the question, about which there 10 now
some Misrepresentation, as to martial law and
the writ of habeas corpus in all those States.
All this is strictly within the power Of the
Executive, whatever Congress may do about
admitting Southern members 10 seats. Moro
than that, it Is the imperative duty of the
President to declare and define the actual con-
dition of those States. The people want to
know If the war Is actually inished-is really
closed up; and If it be 30 he ought TO let them
know g soon - he ID convinced of the fact
We anticipate, consequently. smother proclsps-
ton very soon, clearly defining the present
status Of all the States lately in insurrection
