ing the Spanish-Chilian war, is that Com

scene of action, off the coast, with orders
to run the batteries and destroy the allied
feet at allhazards The Spanish version
Of the affair, however, is published 1t
alleges that the allied squadron showed
no disposition to fight While the Blanco
was making a reconnaissance she was
suddenly opened on by battery, which
did some damage to her rigging. She
opened FIRE on the allied fleet, and the
Villa de Madrid stood in to her assist
ance As soon as the cutter ship came
within range she opened fire, engaging
both feet and battery at the same time
The two Spanish ships expended about
seven hundred shot and shell, when their
commanding officer, finding it impossible
to silence the shore battery, and not
caring TO venture his heavy ships into a
narrow and dangerous channel way, he
hauled off out Of range, after his vessels
had been straek seventeen times in their
hulls The Blanc0 received one shot
below the water line. which was imme-
diately plugged. They report no casu-

CHICAGO.

The Louisville Courier gives Chicago
this Certificate of character Chicago
is most horrible place, most beasily
city. Every day they have a new case
of rape there. Yesterday, a girl twelve
wears old was the victim to-day, a girl
thirteen years old. For the honor OF
humanity, when good people thereaway
hang these internal candidates for the
hottest seat in satan's council, they
ought to hang eunuchs-and not men. No
wonder the hail-stones were "as large as
hens eggs'--outraged Providence

mnch restraint.

Funeral of Gen. Robert Hatton.

Il The remains Of Gen. Robert Hattor
were conveyed to Lebanon on Thursday
morning last, by delegation of Ode
Fellows of Nashville. The Order wa,

suburbs of the city, where hacks were il
readiness to take those appointed to ac
company the distinguished dead to his
last resting place. Arriving at Lebanon
at o'clock in the evening, the body was
taken to the residence of the deceased
and from that hour until midnight was
visited by the citizens of Lehaaon and
vicinity. A number of beautiful wreaths
We're made by the ladies of the place,
and taken to the house, and the coffin

Aldermen of Lebanon now formed in
procession and, proceeding to the house,
removed the remains to the Methodist
Church, where assembled one of the
largest congregations that was over seen
in Lebanon. The funeral discourse was
delivered by the Rev. DR. Baldwin. The
distinguished divine took for his text the
9Th and 9th verses of the 18th chapter of
Micah, asfollows:

ment for me he will bring me forth to

ness.
The church was crowded to overflow
ing, and the sermon was listened to with
profound attention. Celebrated as he is
as divine, this sermon was probably
the greatest effort of his life, and in that
immense congregation, there was the
greatest solemnity, and all-men, women
and children--were melted to tears.
The day was wet and disagreeable, but
Notwithstanding that fact, the procession
was unusually large, composed of people
from all portions of the county
After the services at the church, the
procession moved to the cemetery, and
the mortal remains Of the patriot hero
were consigned to their last resting place
The Mayor of the city issued procla-
nation requesting the citizens TO close
their business houses from ten until two
o'clock, which order was complied with.
