The Conflict at Formosa.

We gave in our paper yesterday brief
account Of this difficulty with the pirates
of Formosa. We now subjoin fuller and
more detailed statement Of the affair:
"The following is the account Of q con-
hct between two steamers Of the American
squadron in the Chinese waters, and the
pirates Of the island of Forinosa. The
Cniteu oSat,s authorities La Iiug isU0i,.
neither satisfaction nor apology for the
murder Of the crew OF the American bark
Rover, the men-ofwar Hartford and
Wyoming were ordered to the scene Of
the outrage on the island Of Formosa
They sailed early in June, and on arriving
of the shore demand was made for the
surrender Of the murderers, which was not
complied with.
that the natives were preparing for q
fight, and the shore was vigorously
shelled by both vessels. Several boat
loads OF sailors and marines subsequently
effected o landing, and sharp fight ensued
with the natives, which lasted over FIVE
hours. The heat was intense, and fifteen
officers and men are reported to have been
sun.struck. Lieutenant Slidell Mackensie,
one Of the landing party, was shot and
died of his wounds. At nightfall the fight.
ing party was withdrawn from the shore,
and the bombardment was resumed and
continued until the natives had oil disap.
peared.
The Hartford and Wyoming then
weighed anchor and sailed for Shanghai
at which port they arrived on the 18th Of
June"

The Next Secretary Of War.

We we're misled in supposing that Gen.
SrEADNAN would be called TO take the
portfolio surrendered by Mr.. STANTON, by
putting confidence in a dispatch to the
Northern papers, that the President had
telegraphed to Gen. SrKADxAS to come to
Washington. 1t now appears that this dis
patch announcing that the President had
sent for Gen. S.,was, like many that are sent
from this city, q fabrication. No such
dispatch to Gen. STEADNAN was ever for.
warded to New Orleans.

The astounding Expose"

A new paper, entitled The Globe, pur-
porting to be published in New York,
made its first appearance in this city yes
terday, aud was extensively circulated by
boys, who made the welkin ring by cries
Of Astounding erposs Of the Treasury
Department" At the head Of the edito-
rial column appears the name Of EDWARD
+. DUNBAR as editor and proprietor. Mr..
DUNBAR informs the readers of The Globe
that ait is now more than four years y
that he has had close business relations
with the Treasury Department at Wash.

president Of the Continental Bank Not.

BAR says, he noticed the progress Of tn
currency printing bureau" and obtained
"pretty thorough comprehension Of th
reckless manner in which the bureau wa
managed" He says he "was general
cognizant of the growth Of the evil whic
has now reached such gigantic propol
tons" All this and much more Mr.. DuS
BAR says he discovered about the Treasur,
printing bureau as long ago as when
was under the control Of Secretary CHASE
but he has never been patriot enough unit
now, ,ohen he is no longer in The emplo,
Of the Government, to make the "as

We shall conclude our notice Of tn

not Mr.. DUNBAR been On applicant for tn
place now occupied by the present chic

other words, has he not been an applican
in some shape for the work Of printing th

Golden Ages.

The Greek and Roman poets loved to cele-
brate a fabulous golden age, which they
imagined the early inhabitants of Greece and
Italy had enjoyed. The poels pictured this age
as time OF perfect happiness. Men kept peace
without laws, the crops grew without the care
of the laborer, and spring lasted all the year
round.
An historical golden age does not very closely
resemble the poetical one. In the history OF
several nations there have been periods known
as golden ages. These were celebrated, not
because the people were happier then than in
other times, but because the nations were
richer and more successful in war, or because
they had greater number Of painters, poets,
historians and philosophers. The most re-
markable of these periods are:-
Among the Jews, the reign of Solomon, B. c.
10l5-975.
In Greece, the age of Pericles, B. G.. 444-429
Among the Romans, the age OF Augustus,
B. O. 81 to A. D. IA.
In modern Italy, the age of Pope Leo X,
l5l3-l52l.
In France, the age of Louis XIV, l643-l7l5.
In England, the age OF Queen Anne, 1902
