south America.

The threat Of the Spaniards to punish
Chill by the bombardment of Valparaiso
and other cities, for the continued nom
submission to Spanish demands, and for
the reverses which the Spanish feet has
more than once suffered, has at length been
executed, SO far as Valparaiso is concern
ed. A new proposition for peace, offered
by Chill, was rejected by the Spanish
Commander, Nunez, who, on March 27,
notified the Military Commandant Cen
eral of Valparaiso, and Diplomatic Corps
in Valparaiso, of the approaching bonn
bardment, allowing period of four days
for the removal of the aged, of women,
children, and non-combatants.
The City of Valparaiso is the CONNER
cial metropolis of South America on the
Pacific, and her progress during the last
ten years has been such as to raise hope
among the Chilians that she would soon
be able to rival the large world-cities of
the Old and the New World. The largest
portion of the commerce and of the prop
erty in the business part of the city is in
the hands of the foreign residents. Of
course, extraordinary efforts we're made
by all the foreigners and by the diplo-
matte corps TO avert the threatened dis
aster from the city. The foreign residents
requested the Ministers, and, in particu
lar. those of the United States, Eng
land and France, to prevent the lombard
ment by force. The representatives of
the two latter countries refused to comply
with this request but General Fitzpatrick
declared himself willing to resist the
Spaniards, if the English Resr-Admiral
would share the responsibility. This be-
ing refused, he declined to act alone in a
matter SO grave. The bombsrdment took
place, and resulted in the destruction of
more than twenty millions of property
The civilized world has, from the begin
ming of the wal, been with rare unanimity
against Spain. The news of the bonn
bardment of Valparaiso will raise an out
cry of indignation such as rarely an act
of modern warfare has raised before
Throughout the American continent it
will powerfully strengthen the wish for
bringing about closer connection be-
tween al the American States for the de-
fense of common American interests. 1t
will add immense strength 10 the popular
feeling against European monarchies. We
learn that in Peru and Eequador the peo-
pie threatened 70 massacre all the resident
Spanish, ard that in order to save them
the Government found it necessary to ar
rest them

FROM ORRVILLE.


| Especial Correspondence Cleveland LEADER.I
ORRvILLE, o., May 2, 1866.
EDITOR LEADER The long wished for
and POLITICALLY praised month of May is
now greeting us with its cheering pres
ence. hope it may not injure its fair
reputation by any such demonstrations as
we experienced in the last week of April.
The snow and cold weather of last week
did no material damage TO fruit or vegeta-
ton. The prospects are quite favorable
for an immense crop Of apples and cher
ries, but it is generally conceded that the
peaches will prove total failure. The
farmers seem TO be making considerable
complaint Of the poor prospect for wheat.
In a trip of twelve miles through the
country in this immediate vicinity, 1
passed dozens of fine looking fields, and
saw but two that might be considered a
loss. The complaint is undoubtedly ex-
aggerated, though it may be much worse
in less favored localities. Business has
been unusually brisk the last few days,
oceasioned by the interference of the
weather with the farmers spring labors,
and the universal desire of persons to pur-
chase from a new and large stock of goods.
The failure of the potato crop in this
section last season has created a great de-
mand for seed as well as for cooking pur-
poses. Mr.. d. G. Evans has taken advan-
tage of this want and has been receiving
many car loads from Indiana, for which
he finds q ready and rapid sale.
J. W. Steel seems to be driving a thru
wing business in the manufacture of bug
gies and wagons. Every few days we
can see buggy finished in the most artis-
tie manner, OF a wagon of sound work
msnship and gorgeously painted, leaving
his shops.
Mr.. William SHELTON, late of the firm
of Moncrief and Shelton, has purchased
q building and fitted it up fora store room
He vii start east for his stock in few
days.
Preparations for building are quite ac-
tive throughout all parts of our thriving
village. Wooden tenement houses are
springing up like mushrooms in warm
summers night, in McGilrs and Snsvely's
addition, while the brick makers are busy
for the more substantial struc-
lures.
The Good Templars have organized a
Lodge here. but as yet they have failed to
induce any of the unterrifed TO join their
ranks. The town Council are taking
measures to improve the sanitary condi-
ton of the place in view of the approach
ing pestilence. Whether we are in great
danger of cholera and trichinA or not
think it would be grand idea to get up
a big scarce about once year, by which
the country would be greatly benefited
by having nuisances removed and less
pork eaten.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany are putting up another new line
along the route ofthe P. F. W. & G. Rail
way, which makes the fourth line along
that road.
Respectfully Yours, W.

Address.
In the interview between the President
and the delegation appointed by the Texas
convention Judge Hancock concluded his
address as follows:
"We should feel that we had only par
TALLY performed our duty to the people of
our State were we to omit expressing to
your Excellency our cordial appreciation of
your course as President of the United
States, and particularly our approval of
your restoration policy. Your wise and
patriotic course in behalf of the equal
rights of all sections of the country has
revived great hopes in many desponding
heart that the same generation, which has
experienced the most terrible shock of civil
war in modern times, will see civil and
constitutional liberty restored throughout
the entire land.
W e I1duk you lu6 name Ol Lu6 p6O-
pie of Texas for the noble and patriotic
stand you have taken in behalf of the Con-
stitution. The olive branch of peace ex-
tended to us by your Kindly hand, we ac-
ceptsin grateful spirit, and pledge to you the
support, earnest and thorough, Of the peo-
pie of Texas, in all the measures that will
tend torestore the State to its pristine posi-
ton among the States of the American
Union. May God preserve your Excellency
many years in health and prosperity, an
instrument under His guidance to restore
the government Of our fathers, and pre-
serve the liberties of the people"
The President thanked the Committee
for the kind and complimentary manner in
which their Chairman had alluded to his
efforts in restoring the States SO lately in
rebellion and insurrection to their primative
relations with the government. He was
gratifed TO learn from them the unanimity
of the people of Texas who had accepted
the results of the war. He expressed the
hope that the State of Texas, together with
all of the other States so recently in rebel
lion, would seen be restored 10 their former
condition in the Federal government, and
that their citizens, whilst bearing its bur-
dens, would be admitted to full psrticipa-
tion in its blessings and protection. The
President said he had the utmost confidence
in the ultimate restoration of the Union,
and time and patience would solve the
problem. Much would depend on the peo-
pie of the State of Texas. If they continued
in the good work so auspiciously begun, and
by obedience to the law demonstrate loyalty
to the government, then he trusted the day
would not be far distant when the work of
restoration would be accomplished by the
admission of their Senators and Represen-
tatives to vacant places in Congress.

scandal IN nigh LIFe-

The Baltimore american says there has
been considerable excitement for some
time past, among the higher circles of
Baltimore society, relative to series Of
anonymous letters, which have been Of
the most Infamous character. They have
found their way into very many house
holds, and tkey have been working their
career Of mischief for nearly three years
past. The author commenced serieG Of
scandal letters, addressed to husbands, ac-
cusing their wives of improper fsmiliari-
ty with men, and to wives pretending to
disclose improper intimacies on the part
of their husbands with the other sex.
Fathers and mothers were also led to great
anxiety on account of their daughters and
sons, who were warned by anonymous
letters of their alleged improprieties-
Ameng the members of the Maryland Club
and "The German Club there has been
great CONSERVATION and trouble, with much
III feeling and suspicion Of ons another,
caused by letters received relative 70 the
alleged dcings of their members These
letters are said to have numbered several
hundred, and bore the impress OF having
been written by some one who was on
terms of intimacy and perfect knowledge
of the family relations of those to whom
they were addressed. They were written
in a style that indicated the author to be
highly educated and perfectly familiar
with ancient and modern history, abound
ing in quotations and comparisons that
but few conld be familiar with.
For two years past there have been
suspicious ahoat as to the authorship Of
these letters, comparison of those re-
ceived by different parties having estab-
lished the fact that they all emanated
from one person. Several persons have
been suspected at times, but fewmonths
since rumor was suddenly put ahoat IS
to a gentleman, John Henry Keen, Jr.,
being the author of them, although both
he and his family had received large
number of these missives, and some Of
these of most misehievous and offensive
character. Being unable to trace this
rumor to any definite source, and being
unwilling 10 rest under SO grave an sccu-
sation, he resolved to make an effort
to discover who was the real author.
For this purpose he employed expe-
rienced detectives, and labored some two
months in the investigation, during which
time the missiYes were flying about IS
usual The matter has now assumed such
a form that it will be made the subject Of
a legal investigation before the courts A
spicy correspondence in relation to the
matter appears in the advertisement col
umns of this mornings ABssrieG1', from
which it appears that Mr.. Keen was led,
from ths evidence obtained by him, TO
charge the wife Of Frederick Bernal,
representative Of her Britannia Majesty,
with the authorship. The matter is still
