ARRIVAL OF THE UNITED STATES
STEAMER ''eAGAMoRB'-NEws FROM THE FLORIDA
CoAsT.-The United States steamer Sycamore
arrived at his port yesterday, sailing from Key
West, Florida, on the 10th instant. She brings
information that the yellow fever has not made
its appearance at the port of Key West this
season, and that the city is in unusually good
health. The citizens were suffering from the
want of clstern water, no rain having fallen for
over month. The summer heat was near set
ting in; thermometer 80 degrees to IS degrees.
by general order OF Major General Foster, qua
tantine stations have been established all
along the coast, and rigid observance insti-
tut6d at every port. All vessels arriving from
the West Indies, or from any infected port, are
subject to thorough inspection, and every
possible effort made TO prevent the importation
of any infectious or contagious disease A care
iul watch is kent on any violation of the i'm
pOrtauon OF cattle during the prevalence of the
cattle lever in the West Indies. The revenue
cutter wilderness is vlgllant in preventing
smuggling along any part of the coast. The
export tIade with cattle from the interior of the
State, as well as that of lumber, has been quite
brisk, and the tree exchange of commerce may be
said to have fairly commenced, and the citizens
seem TO be unanimous in their efforts to sustain
the Government. Marked improvement IS no.
ticed among the colored population in their
efforts to maintain themselves and support their
families.
The Sycamore had in tow the United States
tug Ahhed, Acting Ensign W. F. Kilgore com

Fantastic Marriages.

A widow lady of Danville, Ky, took
an orphan boy to raise, quite small, and
when he arrived at the age of eighteen
she married him, being then in her fiftieth
year. They lived many years together,
happy as any couple. Ten years ago
they took an orphan girl to raise. Last
fall the old lady died, being ninety-six
years of age, and in seven weeks after
the old man married the girl they had
raised, he being sixty-four years old and
she eighteen.
A farmer near Bay city, Michigan, lost
his wife carly one morning, recently ;
hitched up his team and drove to city
with his servant girl to buy the garments
for the dead and while there, married
the girl, being widower less than twelve
hours. The new wife attended the fun
eral next day attired in deep black, and
was one of the principal mourners for
her predecessor.

The Legal Rate of Interest.

We see that some Of our contemporaries
are under the impression that an act was
passed at the late session OF the LeSlsla-
tnre, changing the legal rate of interest
from 6 to Z per cent. Journalists are led
into this misapprehension by the fact that
bill providing for this change had been
before the House, which was defeated,
but on a reconsideration was carried
When the measure came before the Sen
ate, it failed. The opposition to it was
decided from all parts Of the State. A
proposition was made at the same time
to permit banks to charge 7 per cent in
terest on their discounts. This met the
same fate, and its rejection was prompt
and decided The legal rate of interest,
therefore remains unchanged, and it would
be well to let the fact be generally un-
derstood. = Telegraph.

God will not be Hooked.

We have numerous instances on record,
says the Allentown Register, of the judg-
ment..of the Almighty suddenly over
taking the wicked, giving practical illus
trations of the truth Of His Word, which
declares that "The wicked shall not live out
half their days" An instance Of this kind
occurred near our neighboring town of Cat
asauqua last week. A man named Miller
about three weeks ago, made an agree
ment with some of his companions in vice,
to meet him at certain place every Sun
day, when he would administer to them
the holy ordinance of Communion, giving
them whiskey and crackers. This mock
ceremony was performed every Sunday,
but the hands which administered the
mock em5lems in deris:on, were so man.
gled by the premature discharge of a
blast, last week, as to require amputation

ing, he went to meet his insulted Crea-

The announcement in some of the pa

The announcement in some of the pa
pers, early last week, of the probability
of an adjustment of the difficulties between
the Spanish government and Chill, was
completely set at naught by the news OF
destruction of Valparaiso. The lombard
ment by the Spanish fleet continued fu-
riously for over twelve hours, during which
time nearly the whole of the town, which
was in defenceless condition, was des-
toryed, including the custom house, gov
ernment buildings and all the commercial
part of the place. 1t is stated that from
S15,000,000 to $50, 100000 worth of pro-
perty was destroyed, mostly belonging to
British, American and ether foreign mer-
chants. Our minister, General Kilpat-
rick, and Commodore Rodgers, of the
United States Navy, tried hard to prevent
this outrage and save the city, but the
English Admiral refused to co-operate.-
Valparaiso was the principal seaport on
the coast of South America, and contain
ed POPULATION of probably $4,000. This
wholesale destruction of week and de-
fenceless town, without even gun or a
vessel with which to resist the ruthless
invader, is almost without parallel In
barbarism.

The Loan Bill.

The Loan Bill as it passed both houses
OF Congress, has been approved by the
President, and is therefore law. It
possesses so much interest that we append
a copy:
An act to amend an act entitled an act to
! provide ways and means to support the
Government, approved March 3, 1865:
BE at enacted, &C., That the act en-
titled an act to provide ways and means
to support the Government, approved
March 3, 1865, shall be extended and con-
strued to authorize the Secretary of the
Treasury, at his discretion, to receive any
Treasury notes or other obligations issued
underlany act of Congress, whether bearing
interest or not, in exchange for any des-
cription of bonds authorized by the act
to which this is an amendment, and also
to dispose Of any description of bonds
authorized by said act, either in the Uni
ted States or elsewhere, to such an a.
mount, in sucl. manner, and at such rates
as he may think advisable, for lawful
money Of the United States, or for any
treasury notes, representations of value
which have been or may be issued under
any act of Congress, the proceeds there
of to be used only for retiring treasury
notes, or other obligations Used under any
act of Congress. But nothing herein
contained shall be construed to authorize
any increase of the public debt provided
that of United States notes not more than
ten millions Of dollars may be retired can
celled within six months from the pas
sage of this act, and thereafter not more
than four millions of dollars in any month.
And provided, further, that the act to
which this is an amen dment shall con-
tinue in force in all its pr DIVISIONS except
as modified by this act
SEC. 2. Ind be 1t further enacted.
That the Secretary of the Treasury shall
report to Congress at the commencement
of the next session the amount of ex-
change made Of money borrowed under
this act, and of whom, and on what terms,
and also the amount and character of in
debtedness retired under this act and the
act to which this is an amendment, with
detailed statement of the expense of
making such loans and exchange.

Soldiers Convention.

As the soldiers of Monroe county, in
common with these in other parts of the
State, doubtless feel an interest in the
convention to be held in Pittsburg in
June next, their attention is directed to
the following address, issued last week,
in relation to this subject, by General
Hartranft. Measures should at once be
taken to have delegates appointed, SO that
the county shall be represented in the
convention:
HARRISBURG, May l, 1866.
To the Soldiers of Pennsylvania:
In obedience to the authority invested
in me by a resolution adopted by the
Convention of Soldiers, held in
this city on the Sth day of March,
1866, l do hereby request all honorably
discharged soldiers and sailors of Pennsy-
lyania to meet in their respective legisla-
tive districts, and select delegates-not
exceeding five in number-to represent
their district in Soldiers Convention to
be held at Pittsburg on Tuesday, the 5th
of June, 10 o'clock, A. NJ. Where any
representative district comprises more
than one county, the manner of selecting
delegates is respectfully referred to the
soldiers of the district for such conference
as will result in fair representation of
each county. Citizens who have borne
arms in defence of the nation against trea-
son, have an especial interest in the pur-
poses of this convention, and it is desira-
bic that as full representation of the
brave defenders of country as is possible
shoul1 be secured on this occasion.

Double Treason.

In the reasent treason case-the Stat
of Tennessee VS.. De Witt c. Williams
tried in the State Circuit Court at Knox
vile, Judge j. P. Swami ruled as fol
lows:
l. The defendent by the same act may
be guilty of treason gainst both the United
States and the State of Tennessee, and
may be punished by both Governments
for the same act.
2. The court and jury can take judi
cial notice Of the public history of the
country, and it being one of the objects
of the late war to change the relation of
Tennessee to the Federal Union, it was
war against the State, as we'll as the
United States.
3. The pardon of the President, in such
cases, purges the offence against the Uni
ted States, but does not effect the offense
against the State.
4. The fact that the Rebellion assum-
ed the dimensions and recognized char
acter Of civil and public war docs not
prevent the citizens of Tennessee who en-
tered the service of the Confederate
States, after that time, from being pun
ished as traitors by the State courts Of
Tennessee.
5. The Act of Assembly, passed on
the 3rd day of May, 1861, repeating so
much of the treason act as made offenses
against the United States punishable as
treason against the State is utterly null
and void, have been passed by legislatures
whom the court judicially knows to have
been engaged in reasonable purposes.
6. The decisions and opinions of the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the cases Of Amy Warwick and others,
and Mrs. Alexander's cotton and others,
are noautbority whatever in trials for trea-
son.
7. Although the laws of nations pro-
tect billigerents during the existence of
war from prosecution in the civil courts for
treason, yet, after the war is over, and
peace declared, the soldiers who partici-
pated in the rebellion or war, may be pun
ished as traitors therefor.
8. In trials for felony, the jury are
judges of both the law and the facts, but
only judges of the law as propounded to
them by the court.
