New YORK, April 1.-The Panama Star
of the 23d ultimo says the steamer X. X.
Cuyler, detained at New York under sus-
picious circumstances, and which departed
thence under the auspices of the Colon
bian Cove eminent with crew of Coufede-
rates, has sailed for Jamaica with six tor
pedo boats. The suspicion that she Is a
CHILEAN privateer is confirmed. She will
depredate on Spanish commerce off Porto
Rico and Cube. It is thought the Colon.
bian Minister at Washington was BAN
boozled by CHILEAN agents. The steamer
Meteor, at Callao, it is suspected, will be-
come Gillian or Peruvian privateer.
The difficulty between the Colombia n
Congress and President continues. In Gau-
tamala the revolution had been suppressed
The other Republics were tranquil. 1t is
thought q truce through European media
ton is improbable. Stewards Washington
conference proposition has not been ac-
copied.
The United States ship jamestown was
to leave Panama Immediately for Cali
fornia.

letter frem General BeAuregard.
! The New Orleans Tines publlshss the
Following letter from General Beauregard /:
NEw OALEAxs, LIZ, March %, 1867.
William II. c. King, Editor of the Ne,c
Orleans Times, Ne,o Orleans, La.: FL
Dear Sir,-You have done me the honor
TO call for my opinion relative to the ac-
ton Of the South under the military bill.
Having seldom taken any part in politics,
/ do not feel we'll qualified to advise on so
momeutous O question nevertheless, as
the same desire to obtain my views has
been manifested from various quarters, !
shall not shrink from the responsibility OF
expressing them, in the hope that they
may tend TO quiet the public mind, 30
Justly alarmed at this moment.
In my humble opinion we have but one
OF two things to do-resist or submit; the
FIRST Is inadmissible, In our painfully ex-
hausted condition. Four years of q
desperate war have taught Us that the
" argument of the sword" can no longer
be resorted to by us to redress our grie-
vances. We must therefore submit, but
with that calm dignity becoming our man.
hood and our lost independence.
Having been overpowered in the late
struggle, we can submit to the harsh and
ungenerous conditions Of our conquerors
without dishonor, and we must adopt the
least Of the two evils; futile resistance
would only cause our rivets to be driven
closer we must then acquiesce or leave
the country. But we love too dearly the
land of our birth to abandon 1t in its hour
of severest trial. We should avoid, also,
bringing it, by internal discussions, to the
condition of poor Mexico and the unfor-
tunate South American republics.
With regard to the suffrage of the freed
men, however Objectionable it may be at
present, il is an element of strength for
the future. If properly handled and di.
rected, we shall defeat our adversaries
with their own weapon.
The negro is southern born; with Q
little education and some property quail.
hcations he can be made to take suf.
ficient interest in the affairs and prosperity
of the South to insure en- intelligent vote
on his part.
In our future political contests with the
North on protective tariffs, internal i'm.
provements, ETC., the freedmen of the
South will side with the whites Of the
South and of the West, and they will thus
contribute to give US back the influence
we formerly had in the councils Of the
nation. \.
Our people should understand that the
Radicals can remain in power only so long
as the public excitement is kept up as
with the turbid waters Of the Mississippi
river, the sedimentary particles are kept
up at the surface only so long as the wa
ters are in motion; the instant the cur
rent is checked, these particles fall to the
bottom. Thus will it be with the Radi-
Gals when peace and quiet are restored to
the country; the Conservatives will then
take the reins in their own hands, and the
constitutional laws of the land will once
more prevail.
Iremain, yours respectfully,
G. T.. BEAUREGARD.

RUMoRED TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-A cor
respondent of the Indianapolis Journal de-
scribes frightful tragedy which he says
occurred near Peru, Indiana, few days
since. A man sold his farm for 814, 900,
and went to Peru to deposit his money.
He did not reach his destination until the
banks were closed, and SO stopped at a
hotel until the next morning. He woke in
the night with strong preSentment that
something had gone wrong with his family,
and was with difficulty persuaded to return
to bed by two of his neighbors who occu-
pied the same room. In the course Of half
an hour he again woke, and persisted in
going home. His friends accompanied
him. On reaching his house he found the
doors locked, and heard noise within.
Looking through window he saw his wife
and his four children murdered: The per-
petrators Of the bloody deed were still in
the house, ransacking every corner and
receptacle for booty. The farmer and his
friends forced an entrance and attacked
the murderOus freebooters, four in num-
Der, shot three of them dead, and severely
wounded the fourth. On being washed
and stripped of disguise, the wounded man
proved to be no other than the purchaser
of the farm.

INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTs.-The re-
ceipts from internal revenue sources are
more than two hundred and fourteen mil
lions of dollars since the LIST of July, 1866.
That is for three-fourths of the fiscal year
1867. 1t is said in official quarters that
there is no good reason for supposing that
the revenue from this source will fall be-
low the estimates. In fact, 1t is confidently
believed it will exceed them.
The income tax is yet to be collected,
and according to the provisions OF the
amendatory act Of the I'd instant it is to
be collected by the 30th of April. Should
the total of this tax equal that of 1866, the
receipts for this year will be carried be-
yond the official estimates. The condi-
ton Of this branch of the national revenue
is encouraging, notwithstanding the de-
preston that at first sight would seem to
threaten serious effect.

INJUNCTION AGAINST THE MILITARY Re-
CONSTRUCTION ACT.-We understand that
application will shortly be made to the
United States Supreme Court, in the
names of the States of Mississippi and Ala.
bama, and such other States as may be.
come parties to the cause, to enjoin all
proceedings to subject the people Of those
States to military rule under the recent
act of Congress, because it will infict ire
parable injury on said people, and for other
reasons. The case will be conducted, it is
said, by Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi, and

CONGRESS- CHMENT.-C Congress has
adjourned, and the people breathe more
freely. The adjournment was announced
to be until July, but it is claimed by the
moderate men as an adjournment until
December, unless something unforeseen of
a very extraordinary character shall in
duce them to reassemble. The impeach-
ment project is virtually abandoned, and
it was knowledge of this fact that SO an
gered Messrs. Schenck, Boutwell,, Butler,
and men of like way of thinking, when
they found that the adjournment was in
eyitable.-Sun.
