HAVANA, Dec. 1.-THE Spanish mail steamer
from CadiZ, via ST. Johns, Porto Rico, has ar
rived with news from the latter port to the lst

the reported earthquakes on November l8 and

throughout the entire population until the 23d.
The CONSERVATION created by the shocks was
dreadful. All the e1i6ces in st. johns were
more or less damaged, but no injury to person
is 80 far announced. One OF the shocks lasted
twelve seconds, and was felt in other parts of
the island. No shocks, however, had been felt
since the 25th ult. Eye witnesses who had ar
rived at st. Thomas by the schooner Andalusian
report that the island of st. Martin had nearly
disappeared, and that of st. Bartholomew had
been almost destroyed by volcano.

respectively are, and are likely to be, loyal TO
the Union by decisive and Trustworthy ma
joiities." Congress- will not be so satisfied, IL
is clear, unless these "majorities' are for
radical power.
And what must be the result Of all this
Radical extremists have bounded the niggers
to their side of the line and driven the whites
TO the other. And now comes party init
nation that If the whites persist in their re-
fusal to bow down there shall be a new up
turning-all that has been done shall be un-
done; what has been settled shall be unsettled;
the whites shall be disfranchised, at least, and
if necessary, their property shall be handed
over to the niggers. Republicanism must re-
main dominant at any cost. The result of
such policy and such an intimation must be
to stimulate, to intensity, to hasten an inevi-
table reaction over the whole North--to give
purpose and vitality to that rising sentiment
of the American people that already weighs
the necessity of r@udiating these reckless,
ruinous leaders, who would sacrifice every
interest of the country, every aspiration Of the
people, every principle of right and justice,
before the MOlooh Of party.

the people be organized for the purpose such
seleciion and all parties having recognized the necea
sty ofsuoh organization by the formation OF voIun-
tary associations Tor this purpose, and
whereas, There are grave defects existing under
the present system OF voluntary organization which
Ills believed may be corrected by suitable provisions
oflawi now, therefore, be It
Resolved, BY the Beard OF Directors Of the UNION
LEAGUE OF PHILA ADELPHIA, that the secretarv
be and hereby directed to offer eleven hundred dol

When the Committee reminds them Of their
interest as well as their duty in the premises
II is plain that no purpose Of confscation IS en-
tertained. That has been made manifest by
the country, and it is satisfactory to find the
Congressional Committee thus distinctly ao-
l1nowledging the fact. As to the suggestion
ITSELF its wisdom is apparent, and we apprs-
hend that the planters will not be slow TO act
upon il, when the more pressing difficulties of
their situation shall have been overcome. 1t
is proceeding which many influential jour
nails are advocating as a measure of industrial
economy, and means of inducing the mmi-
grafton, which, next to peace and money, is
the great want of the South.
The feature which most detracts from the
moral weight and dignity of the address is
that relating to the reciprocal obligations of
the freedmen and the Republican party. II
is undeniably true that that party, having
made itself responsible for the emancipation
Of the slaves, is constrained by every con-
sideration of duty to secure for them the ele-
mentary guarantees of civil and political
freedom. But it does not follow that the
service in question gives to the Republican
party any claim upon the political support of
those who were formerly slaves. Whether
the newly enfranchised race shall vote with
the Republicans or with the anti Republicans
IS question in no manner affecting the right
or wrong of the reconstruction process. And
IL is 10 be regretted, we THINK, that the Com
mittee should expose a statement of the
policy of Congress in reference to the restora-
tion of the Union to the misapprehension and
prejudice which partisan appeal must neces-
sarily excite. The error is as great on the
part Of the Committee as was the error of that
other Committee which commissioned Judge
Kelley to preach Radioalism to Southern
audiences.
Aside from this defect, the address is oppor-
o,,1 ILL 10, f,.I 81,
proach which is possible to pledge in behalf
of Congress to adhere TO the military recon-
struotiOn scheme as inality. In this respect
it is conclusive answer to the vaporings of
the anarchists and the misgivings of Southern
politicians.

Horace Greeley and Jefferson Davis,

Horace Greeley and jefferson Davis.
From the Nation.
The expressions of feeling called forth by
Mr.. Greeley's performances at Richmond last
week, have been sufficiently strong and sufi-
ciently numerous to warrant us in saying that,
whatever difference of opinion there may be as
to Mr.. Greeley's motives, there is none at al
as to the responsiveness and inexpediency ofhis
conduct. The majority of the Republican
papers ascribe his appearance as Davis first
bondsman to love of notoriety which has
been growing on him for some years, and
which now finds expression in one way, and
now in another. They appear to think that,
having achieved as an editor all the distinc-
tion within his reach, he signs for the posses
sion Of some odder title to fame, and wants to
connect his name with some startling political
monstrosity, or 'curiosity," as his friend
Barnum would call it; that he has the craving
for participation in any character in practical
life by which so many men of eminenee as
thinkers and scholars have been afflicted and
not being able to secure it in the ordinary CON
ventional channels, seeks it through the tssen-
sauonal'" others explain his course nv
assembling it to still lo1tier and moro
daring ambition, and support tbeir
theory by an elaborate and bigSIv
entertaining analysis of his charaetar
which we have neither the space nor the in,
clination to reproduce. The examination .,
mems motives is difficult and delicate task
which even the most skilful hand can hardIy
perform without doing injustice, and it Is
tolerably certain that no revelations which the
chemists of any party are likely to make
about Mr.. Greeley's mental or moral compost
tion shake the faith of the farmers in him
Partly owing to his long and faithful devotion
to the great principle of freedom, partly Il
the plainness, direotness, and bluntness of hi
style, and partly to the innocent expression 0
his face, he has secured hold upon the con
fdence of the agricultural population which
nothing short of downright betrayal of tn,
cause to which his life has been devoted vii
weaken, SO that even a large proportion O
those who are most disgusted with his kind
ness TO Jefferson Davis will not ascribe il Il
low motives. He might do worse things thar
this, and yet find himself popular in tn,
s'unpaved districts"
But we do not need to show that in balina
Jefferson Davis he was actuated by any purely
selfish motives in order TO prove him guilty O
that kind of blunder which, when committed
by man in his position, deserves almost a
severe punishment as if it were a piece o
sheer baseness. He would and probably will
defend himself by saying that the first neces

support of the law the preservation of high
standard Of public and private morality, OF
high sense Of the worth of character, Mr..
Greeley appears to have no conception, nor,
we are sorry to say, have a very large proper
tiOn Of the loudest believers amongst our
reformers. It is this which accounts in part
for the worship Of such heroes as P. T.
Barnum, because he happens to be an
anti-slavery or temperance man, and for
the practice Of applying the foulest epithets
to and accusing of the most disgraoeful con-
duct men whom the revilers and accusers meet
the next day and salute with as much cordi-
ality as if nothing had happened. Nobody
who knows how strong is the reflex action Of
language and of conduct on mind, can doubt
that the prevailing tendency to treat moral
ofienses as matters which ought not materially
affect our own intercourse with those who COM
NIT them, and to treat ourdenunciations ofthem
so much rhetoric and nothing more, helps to
make our sense of right and wrong somewhat
less acute, and to lower our estimate of what
we owe to our own honor. II is not very long
since a notorious embezzler Of the public funds
was entertained on his return from an exile
which he had passed as fugitive from justice,
by a company which included high officer of
police and the chief justice of a court of re-
cord. Similar examples of the same debased
and debasing indifference to the effects of crime
on character, and to the desirableness of sup
porting in our conduct the lofty doctrines
which we all spout from platforms or publish
in books or newspapers, may every day
be Witnessed; but Mr.. Greeley has achieved
the distinction Of Offering the world one OF
the most striking and very conspicuous Of
them all.

There was one thing we noticed. while ex-
amining his muck bog, that NAV be worthy
Of relating here. The bog was part of ce.
dar swamp-Low, indeed, entirely denuded of
trees, and nothing but cranberry vines and
other small herbage covering its surface. AZ
ter the workmen had drained the ground to a
great depth, and excavated the peat to the
depth OF several feet, they encountered large
logs of cedar then lying in the ground, and
by the side of these trunks and limbs were
networks of cranberry vines-all, trees and
vines now were dust, but in perfect form.
Nor is this all. On digging three or four feet
below this level, the workmen encountered
another original surface on which reposed
other huge trees, OF the same species, and
other cranberry vines perfectly developed.
AS matter OF curiosity we selected some
pieces OF the unrotten wood taken from this
second depth, and some of the carefully I'M
disturbed leaves OF the delicate viues. These
facts showed that in ages past and gone. there
had been different lands and other growtbs
in that cedar swamp, which had been success
slvely filled and occupied. z5 ...-.
