A letter from Admiral Dahlgren TO
Minister Hsvey, showing that the difficulty
with the Peruvian government is not yet
settled, and in stating its origin and pres
ent position, it appears that the ex-Rebel
Tucker in being made an Admiral in the
Peruvian navy, took occasion to insult our
naval officers, whereupOn they refused
thereafter the customary salute TO him, but
invariably saluted the Peruvian flag. Our
government expressed the hope that Tuck
er's conduct would be aisapPFGsed by the
Peruvian government, and that he be re-
quired ito apologize. This the Peruvian
government declines TO do, on the ground
that the refusal to salute Tucker is slight
to the Peruvian flag. .... . .-r.-
The Savannah Republican saws accounts
represent the condition of things in Camden
and Bryan counties, as truly alarming. The
widest days of st. Domingo seem to have
been reproduced in Southern Georgia. In
one county two negroes were sentenced to
death for murder, and three others to the
penitentiary. A mob of colored people
surrounded the Jail and broke open the
doors and allowed the prisoners 10 escape.
In another county men were found hanging
to the trees within a short distance of the
public roads, and had been hanging there
for several days.
