THE CRETAN REBELLION.

The CIetan insurrectlonists, or Chris
tian patriots have engaged much attcn-
ton in the old and new world since the
terrible tradegy at Arkadi. Some ideas
may be CLEANED Of the nature of the con
test and the firm purpose of the island-
ers from the following graphic descrip-
ton of the fight, by the pm of a
Tribune correspondent, dated Canea,
Dec. 3rd, 1866. 1t is suggestive of a
modern Thernopy'm
"News of the tragedy Of Arkadi will
have long ere this reaches you, startled
the world into IT rtcollections of Missolon.
CHI and 1880, aud may perhaps have
worked something like conviction in the
minds Of European statesmen that the
Cretans are in terrible earnest, but to US,
almost within sound of the explosion
which consummated the affair, and
conscious OF the barbarlties and despair
which give such awful significance to the
Cretan cry of Liberty or Death, it has
come with shock like an earthquake
For week after the fight we heard
confused and contradictory rumors Of
it, of mines and desperate fighting, VIC
saw the steamer'come bringing to the
Canea hospitals the wounded who no
longer found place ct Retimo, but we
could get no reliable news as to the na-
ture and result of the conflict. Finally
we got sufficient details to know in its
full meaning, if not its full amount of
woe, the saddest, most piteous episode
of this struggle.
Arkadi is a monastery which dates its
foundation 800 years ago, the present
building having been built by the Vene-
tians nearly three centuries ince, and
so strong that it was impreguable dur
ing the previous wars of Venetian and
Turk, and Turk and Christian, even
through the Greek war of independence.
1t is situated in the midst of beautiful
plain, at the foot Of the slopes of Mt.
Ida, to the villages in which, some half
dozen in number, it furnished protec.
ton in danger and assistance in want.
1t was distinguished among Cretan mon-
asteries for the extent of its charac ers
and beuefcencc.
1t was at times the headquarters of
the Cretan Committee, and OF the vol,
unteers under Coroneos, and in accord.
ance with the policy of the day its des,
truction was determined on, and that of
Coroncos and his little army, it was
hoped, at the same time. Mustapha
Pasha set out from Retimo, orly few
hours march from Arkadi, the 18th of
November, and arriving at night enter
the monastery unperceived. There
were in it only the priests and the tami
lies of the villages in number $40 souls,
of whom 343 were women and child en-.
Some attempted to escape, but finding
retreat cut off, returned to the convent,
preferlng to share the result Of the fight
to being taken prisoners. The forces
of the Pasha were about $4,000 men, to
meet whose attacks the Christians had
less than 200, priests aud fathers of the
families mostly. They declined to sur.
render, and finding that any attempt at
or surprise was useless, the
Pasha sent to Retimo for artillery, which
was sent him, the next day, he sent for
and more guns, so that
1t the last he had 20 guns and two NOR.

NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET.
A New York letter of the 18th inst,
says: The dry goods market exhibited
considerable buoyaney to.day, though
prices showno material variation. The
little panic in money does not seem. to
have any visible eiftct--worsted goods
show slight Improvement, while brown
shcotlngs and shirtings are scarce for
prime makes, and very firm. A steady
business is doing in prints. In regard
to foreign goods, it may bo said That
the contemplated notifications in the
tariff have the effect to stll1n the prices
Of some fabrics and to unsetlle those ct
others-but, on the whole, there is for
the moment very little doing, AID the
predominant feeling is that of uncer-
tainty. The artificial stringcncy in the
money market, noticed yesterday, as the
result Of a wellsknown Bear combina-
tion, was kept up until about two o clock
this afternoon, when it began to be ap>
parent that the movement had fallen

Mississippi, on the night of Dec. 23d.
A number of lives were lost, and about
one hundred families made houseless
and homeless. Loss, over 50, 900, 900.
The origin Of the fire was the result of a
drunken row in Meyers bar-room.-
Three men were playing cards, in
New. Ulm, MINI, on Christmas day
They got into drunken quarrel, which
resulted in one named Spinner being
stabbed causing immediate death. The
other two were arrested and handculfed,

afternoon. He was talking in a

The charge against Major Plumly
is melting negroes to riot, riotous
