We regret 20 announce the sudden
death, yesterday, in this city, of Mr..
Lsutze, the celebrated artist. Broken
health, augmented by the great physical
prostration produced by the late pre-
tFacted heat Of the weather, was the
main cause OF his decease. He had
opened studio at the corner Of Eleventh
and G streets, and it is but rs dav since
that We had the pleasure 20 see the work
Of his famed pencil in delineatipg the
face of Mr.. Suter, OF California. Mr.
Leutze has worldwide fame, but OF his
particular artistic life and works we re-
serve comment until tomorrow. His
daughter has been with him in this CITY
while Mrs. Leutzs is now abrosd up5p
an erraud in connection with z high no
sitiOn in the world OF art which has been
recently prOffered TO her distinguished
husband in Europe. Mr.. Leutzs was
born in Wurtemberg, but his early
artistic life was spent ia this country.
Subsequently trained to the highest pitch
Of the profession at Dusseldorf he r.
turned to America, and has here left
products OF his genius that shall endure
through all time. he has uauuestion-
ably held the first rank as an artist in
this country, and his death is now most
deeply deplored. -NatiOaaL Int ioeacer

THE HIBRRNIA.
Her Loss-Desor;p ;ption of the Vessel.

A New Yo1k paper OF yesterday sald:-
Further details have since been received to
the effect that when at point ffty-three
degrees northern latitude and twenty niue
degrees western longitude, the Hibernia, in the
midst of heavy gale, broke her shaft and stern
pipe, sprung a desperate leak, and foundered.
The passengers and crew behaved admirably,
and embarked in an orderly manner in five
boats duly proVlsloned. The boats IN charge Of
the captain and the boatswain respectively con.
tained each htty-tWo persons, including all
cabin passengers excepting Nelson A. Olds and
G. Mason, aud have arrived safely on shore.
The other three boats, under the first, second,
the ships human freight, eighty one persons
in all. were still out at the date of the latest
despatch from Glasgow received last night, but
ii was hoped that they are safe.
The Hibernla was built only three years ago,
and was, therefore, a comparatively new vessel,
Her builders are the Flnnieston Steamship Com
pany at Glasgow, who have built all the other
steamships OF the Anchor line. She was
long, "a feet broad, and pa feet Deep propelled
by two engines of 400 horse Dower. She was q
screw steamer and provided with Water-nght
compartments in accordance with the statu-
tory enactments of British law. Her cousump
tion of coal was forty tons day, and on leaving
here she had 600 tons on board. The Hbernla
sailed on the l4th of November last, aud was,
therefore, eleven days out when she foun-
dered, and could not have suffered from an
insuffcency OF coal. The engines or boilers of
the ship could not have been toul it is asserted,
for the practice Of the company is to thoroughly
overhaul them each trip when port Is made, and
according TO law in England every ocean
steamer must go into dock at the end of each
twelvemcnth. Hence the agents in charge of
the company's office in this city are unable to
account tor6thei terrible calamity that has be-
fallen this ship, as everything was done that
human ingenuity and experience could suggest
to provide against ii. 1t is hoped that many
more of the passengers are saved than at first
reported, for the steamer, it is stated, had boats
on board sufficient to carry 600 persons, as the
Ell glish law prescribes, and it appears every soul
on board was successfully embarked in tbem.
and she was insured in England at one-fourth o.
her value.

THE MESSAGE.
Southern Opinions ON the Presidents
Latest MauifeStO

The Petersburg (Va.) Express says:-
1--WE commend the perusat of this state paper
to every reader of the Express as a public
document remarkable for its lucid exposition of
the condition OF the country, and highly credi.-
able as an emanation from its Chief Executive y
The Washington Express in its comments
states that
ut was to be expected that the President
would take the last occasion left to him in his
annual message to review and vindcate his
policy OF restoration of the States in rebellion
when he was elected. He has done this with
rare power and brilliant effect. To fair minds
his arguments are unans werable. Who, after
reading them, can doubt his far-seeing states
manship, his patriotism, and his Interchangeable
devotion to the interests of the whole country
Who but feels that, had the reconstruction
measures which he inaugurated been permitted
to 60 into operation quietly, peace and fraternal
relations, then and now so much desired by alt,
would have been existing over every foot of the
South at this very hour? The message
is an admirable document, written with ability,
boldness, and clearness. 1t will rivet the atten-
uon OF the whole country, and command the
scrutiny and study of the civilized world"
The Washington InteAigeRcer comments as
follows:-
1T is document of more than ordinary
significance and Importance. Comprehend, ,ng
Ill its scope the mnutest details of public affairs,
both domestic and foreign, it is bold, frank,
plainly uttered expression Of the opinions enter
tared by the Executive upon the various
measures which in his estimation demand the
attention of the legislative branch of the Gov
ernment. The character OF the past legislation
Of this Congress is severely criticized, and that
repair its errors. A large portion of the mes
sage is devoted to the consideration of financial
matters, in regard to which some novel views
and propositions are advanced"

MADRID, Dec. 1.-THE iusurrection has
assumed a more alarming character than was
first reported The kilograms from Cadz an
nouncing the surrender of the insurgents prove
to have been erroneous.
On the first day of the revolt the insurrec-
tionists succeeded in taking some pieces of
artillery and have occupied an important posi-
tion. General Cabalero de Roda, at the head Of
considerable military force, is preparing for
vigorous assault on Cadiz.
The National Guards are employed to keep
order and protect property in Madrid. Great
excitement prevails in Malaga and other to wns
at the alarming state of affairs. As yet Caliz
is the only town in revolt. A rising is expected
momentarily in Catalonia.
Arms and munitions Of war have been landed
in Cadiz, and it is said that the party in revolt
are well supplied with them, They have also
plenty of money and are determined to fight to
the last.
The American flag is respected by both parties,
and hundreds seek protection from the Ameri
can Consul at Cadiz. There is an American war
vessel in the port, and Danish and Italian yes-
sells are placed at the disposition of the Amerl-
can Consul.
Many rich families are leaving Spain for the
present. General Prim has gone TO Andalusa
The Government is much embarrassed, owing to
the unsettled state of the country and the i'm
poverished copdition of the finances.
Capture of Arms and War Material by
the Turks.
LONDON, Dec 1.-THE following intelligence
from Crete has been received via Athens:-
The Turks have captured strong position in
Sphakia, where the insurgents had erected
block k-houses They have also seized quantity
of provisions and war material intended for the
Cretaus, and have taken possession of the two
landings on the shore of the island nearest to
Greece. 1t is reported that in consequence of
| these advantages gained by the Turks the in
surrection is dying oat.

The La Crosse (Wisconsin) Democrat of Dec.
publishes the folio wlng:-
A most terrible and bloody afray occurred at
the house of ill-fame in the lower part of the
city known as the Red Light, and kept by Ed
Pratt. 1t seems that a desperate by the name
of Dave Mills, a river boy, who has been laid
up at the island with wound received at the
hands of the citizens OF Reeds Landing, who
three weeks ago shot him three times aud
would have hung him-but he escaped and came
down here in company with Frank Gale,
another desperate character, and fellow whose
name we could not learn-went down to the
Red Light early this morning for the pur-
pose of having row. They entered Just
as the baIkeeper was lighting the ire,
and at once proceeded to business by
Mills knocking the unodending barkeeper down
and making considerable noise with whisky
loosened tongues, and threatened to shoot one
OF the girls heads off, ETC., when the proprietor,
Ed. Pratt, got mp and came down stairs where
the men were scuffing, aud at ouce demanded
that the tracas should terminate, and ordered
Mills aud Gale to leave his house, whereupon
Mills drew a revolver and shot Pratt through
the right breast-the ball going through and
lodging IN the wall back of him. Gale at once
drew his revolver and shot the barkeeper in the
arm. Pratt then drew his revolver aud shot
Mills through the head and as he staggered
Pratt says he shot again, thinking the first shot
would not finish HIM, the load taking effect Just
back of the ear, when Mills sank lifeless to the
floor, still tightly holding on to his weapon. In
the meantime Gale shot Pratt in the shoulder

FORTUNATE
A Railroad Accident Prevented by n
Drunken Man,

Says the Pistsburg Commercial of Wednesday:
The mail express train on the Pan Handle
Railroad, which left the Union depot at quarter
past o'clock yesterday morning, narrowly
escaped most fearful accident Just after the
train left the Birmingham station the con luctor
was collecting the fare, aud found au intoxicated
German, who refused to pay or show ticket.
The conductor pulled the bell rope to stop the
train, and says he thought there was a slight
shock after the train Stacked up, but supposed
the engine had been suddenly reversed. After
the intoxicated manfhad been put Off the con-
ductor rang the hell for tue train to proceed,
but was surprised TO find that the order was not
obeyed,
On going out to ascertain the cause he found
there was huge rock, weighing several tons,
which had slid down from the side OF the hill,
on the track. The engineer had discovered it
soon after he commenced stopping the train,
aud by great e2ertions was enabled to check the
speed btfore he struck the rock sufficient to
prevent any disastrous results, although the
cowcatcher of the engine was broken to pieces
Had the train been thrown from the track, as it
undoubtedly would have been had it not been
for the drunken passenger the cars would have
been thrown down high, steep embankment
into rolling mill. and the most disastrous con.
sequences must have folio we'd,

AUSTRALIA.
Revival Of Human BOndRge-Frightful
Atrocities Of the Slave Trade.

The New York Herdid's correspondence from
Sydney, Australia (Oct. u, says:-
The Australian people have now been fairly
awakened to just conception of the startling
progress and ever-inCreasng proportions OF the
recently introduced "Polynesi8n labor system"
in Queensland. Within the past mouth abun
dant and indisputable evidence has been pro.
duced In regard to the real character OF this
last development of Anglo-Saxon civilization az
the AntipOdes, and it is now firmly established
that the labor system lately called into being IN
the semi-tropical section of Australia is simply
a revival III slightly altered form of the
domestic institution" which hourished but
few wears since in the Southern States, and
which has been abolished at such a
fearful cost of blood and treasure. 1t has been
clearly proved that the most hideous and re-
voting features of the slave trade and of the
slave system already characterize the operations
OF the new labor scheme-the horrors of the
middle passage, the forced breaking up of family
relations, the clanking of letters, the crack of
the overseer's whip, the conversion OF human
lives and human souls into gold. 1t matters
little that the system bears the innocent and
fact remains unchanged that under the aus
pices of a British government the fendish
enoTmities of the slave traffic have been
revived in the South Pacific, aud that,
with the sanction aud encouragement
OF colonial legislature, enforced
servitude has been established in the most
productive portion of the Australian continent
There is certainly strong feeling of Indignation
among Australians not interested in the now
system at the appalling cruelties recently
brought to light, and petition praying for the
interference of the Home Government was few
months ago addressed to the Queen. But in the
meantime no measures are adopted TO abolish
this glaring wrong; the new institution is every
month permitted 10 assume larger dimensions
and take deeper root; every ship arriving in
Brisbane and Rockhampton lands fresh cargo
of human victims, aud the "Vested right" in this
inuuitous traffic is constantly acquiring greater
strength and more serious Importance

and Pratt returned the FIRE, hitting Gale In the
head. The fellow who came there with Mills
and Gale had lit OUT in the meantime, aud
Gale, seeing that his "buly" comrade had sue
house down to the slough, where skitf was in
waiting. and thus escaped. He was TRACKED
that TAR by blood on the snow. Nearly twenty
shots were fred altogether, six taking effect.
We are informed that the scene beggared de-
sCripton Several of the girls ran out of doors
half clad, screaming murder, while others, more
plucky, remained in doors to back the proprie
tor. The affray ragged in all It's bloody aud
savage fury Tor FIVE or six minutes, there being
three of the party against Pratt and the bar
keeper. After Mills was killed we understand,
one of the girls took pistol aud shot the dog
that accompanied him through the head. Gale
has not yet been captured, but probably VIII be.
Pratts wounds are not fatal: neither are those
of bis hnrkoener nor of Gale.
