New YoRK, Jan. u.
Report says a steamer which has
been fitting out here for some time
has gone to sea as a Chilian privateer
to prey on Spanish commerce Three
gunboats are also said to be building
for the CHILEAN government.
John A. Cooke, late cashier of the
Catskill IN. W National Bank, is re-
ported defaulter to the amount Of
$4,000 1t is said the directors Of
the bank have obtained collateral Sc
curities enough to cover the defalca-
ton.

young French actress named Natalie
Dumos, who recently went to Europe,

Claims to very large amount are
coming in from loyal persons in the
South, for damages for losses by the
ravages of war; but Congress will
probably reject them. If paid they
would largely increase the National
debt
The Unionists of several Southern
State have sent memorials to the
President and Congress for protection
against rebel majority in their State
Southern papers finding that Con-
gress is not disposed to admit their
congressional delegates at present, are
getting quite indignant.
Accounts from the freedmen of the
South are of the most satisfactory
character, They are in most cases
working diligently while awaiting the
action of Congress in their behalf.
Financial matters must soon com
mand the earnest attention of Con
gress; at present members in commit
tee and out are earnestly discussing
the best course to be pursued. 1t will
be some weeks however before matters
take such shape as to make them
proper for discussion.
The question of equalizing the boun.
ties involving five hundred million,
must first be settled.

oppropriGted by the EnQuirer's caterer
to satiate the hungry maws of new
and jealous politicians. | will here
enclose the offensive portion of the
article:
We look now hopefully TO the speedy
restoration of the Union. The RAIDS " de-
signed to exclude the Southern States till
after the next Presidential election. But
such exclusion would not prevent them
from choosing electors; and then, if the
vote of those electors would elect the anti
radical candidate, if cast, and the Congress
should refuse to count them, we should
have civil war that would not be a Sec
tional, but would be, q Ia Mexico, between
two rival chiefs, the leaders of opposite po-
litical parties, which war would end the
Republic
see, also, that last week they pub
lished the letter of Provisional Gov
ernor Perry, of South Carolina, to the
National Intellsgencer and ~ r. Fri
bme. This will be a good lift to our
cause here, for every man of common
sense win see that it is a tissue OF
falsehoods and brazen PRONUNCIATION
of rebel sentiments
The soldiers will, as they resolved
at their meeting some weeks since,
have grand celebration in this county
in honor of the fall of Vicksburg, on
the 4th of July. They have not de-
9termined whether it will be in Boon
vile or Newburg. But be it where ii
may, you may look for grand and
glorious outpouring of the loyal,
brave and true. Prepare to send
your reporters and as many guests as
you please. There will be no better
entertainment in the West on that
memorable day than will be given by
the friends of freedom here.
The weather has been very cool for
several days past, and it is feared that,
although vegetation has not been ma
terially injured, it has been so much
retarded that many products will be
somewhat backward in coming to ma
turity.
Business among the farmers is brisk,
and the retail trade in the stores and
shops of our various pleasant villages
throughout the county is as lively as
possible. ID.

[The, following is full report, made
specially for the Gazette. of the speech
Of T.. P. Milligan, at Button, Ind.
last Friday, a Geographic synopsis of
which we gave yesterday morning.
Eds. Gazette. -
The Democracy of the Hoosier
State have begun to rally the faithful
of their clans, for the attempted re-
demption of their ancient stronghold.
And properly enough the campaign
was opened by calling out that repre-
sentative man, Colonel L.. P. Milligan,
late Of the Ohio Penitentiary, but in
1864 and 1S65Tone of the Chiefs of the
Sons of Liberty, or American Knights,
who plotted the subvefsion of the
State Government of Indiana into the
hands of rebels and disunionists. Fe
is one of the fathers of the Democracy
{ in Indiana, and the fact that he was
convicted of treason and sentenced to
death; only makes him the more pop
ular man with those who, during. the
late war with the secessionists, sym
pathized with them and held up their
hands in every practicable way they
dared. As a martyr IN this cause, ii
is eminently fitting he should be made
the hero of his party in the approach
ing political contest with those who
fought and labored to subdue the
Southern wing of that same party, ar
rayed against them with arms.
RECEPTION COMMITTEE.
The occasion was nominally an ova
ton to Colonel Milligan on his recen
return from prison, and transpired il
the town of Bluffton, county seat O
Wells County, on Saturday last This
town, is twenty-four miles from For
Wayne, whence this reporter rode il
! a. buggy over the toughest road h,
ever saw. He reached the place jus
] in time to form, unwittingly, the tail
lend of the procession that was escort
ing the notorious individual into town
4 The procession consisted of a marsha
on horseback, a wagon containing
nominally, the brass band of Bluffton
followed by carriage in which rod
the hero of the day and distinguished
persons, a dozen wagons full of PEG
pie, and a man on horseback.
