The water supply in New York city is
creating as much anxiety as is felt on the
subject in Philadelphia. The engineers
in charge of the Croton Aqueduct report
that, on Saturday, September 18th, the
water was five feet seven inches below the
top Of the dam. and was falling at the
rate of seven inches every twenty four
hours. and that, consequently, the flow of
water in the aqueduet was reduced to less
than $4,000, 900 gallons day The
quantity Of water in all the city reservoirs
on Saturday vas $50 100000 gallons :
The aailE consumption of water liz New
York is estimated at 68,000, 900 gallons
or so. 900, 900 gallons more than the
$4,000. 900 gallons day now flowing
through the aqueduct to the reservoir
On Saturday therefore, New York had
less than FIVE days supply of water. New
York is entirely surrounded by salt water,
and her condition would be pitiable in case
OF total failure of the Groton works to
furnish the daily supply.

The Virginia legislatures Excitement

Senatorial Questian, &c.
RICHMOND. October 4 There was con-
siderable excitement in the city to-day
over the arrival of the Legislature. To
night both parties went into caucus, and
the Wells republicans adopted resolution
to enter protest upon the journal Of the
Legislature against the admission Of mem
bers who had not taking the iron clad
oath.
The walker men, at their caucus, were
engaged with officers of the Legislature,
and no mention was made of United States
Senators. The Walker members of the
House of Delegates adjourned until to-
morrow, which is taken as an indication
that John B. Crenshaw. member of the
society of Friends will be elected Speaker
The only new name presented in politi-
cal circles for Senatorship is Dug Wall
ach, of Washington, now in the city.
Much excitement is created in political
circles by an erroneous report that Horace
Greeley whose name had been mentioned
for Senator, had arrived in the city.
Of members who applied for certificates
of election. Gen. Candy refused Fl on
the ground that they were charged with
being ineligible under the 18th amend
ment. Nine of them afterwards received
them on making affidavit that they were
not SO disqualified.

The Republican Convention Of New
York, recently in session at Syracuse, ad-
opted the following platform: That the
public debt. with principle and interest.
should be paid in coin at maturity that
taxation ought to be simple and equal; that
the Government is bound to protect ali
of its citizens wherever they may go; that
every American citizen ought to vote
without regard to nation. race, or reli-
gion that the Fifteenth Amendment
ought tribe adopted; that they sympathize
with the down trodden of all countries;
that whenever the facts in possession of
the Government will justify the recognition
of Cuba belligerency, the convention was
for it. and pledged its support to any
measure in favor ofthc annexation of Cuba
whenever. SHE shall have achieved her
independence, and shall desire such action;
endorses the administration of President
Grant.

FURTHER FROM CUBA.
Americans Made to Bear the Brunt
Of Battle.


Special Despatch to the Baltimore Gazette.
WASHINGTON, October 3, 1869.
Letters from prominent gentlemen now
in Cuba, in the army and sojourning
there. to friends in this city, received yes
tcrday, give additional news of an inter-
esting and important character.
Gen. Cespedes is untiring in his en-
deavors to unite his army by conciliating
the various elements of which it is COM
posed. His efforts have not been success
full. The removal of Gen. Jordan from
command of the most important division
of the army, and placing him on the staff
of the General commanding, as Adjutant
General, instead of having the effect in
tended, has developed the formidable
power of the organized conspiracy and
treachery in the army. Officers as high
as Major Generals are identified with it
and demand the entire exclusion of for
eigners from positions of command.
There are now over twenty-five hun
dred Americans in the Cuban army, in
the different divisions. These men have
been. and are, the strength of the army,
and were they massed, as was promised
when they left this country. would be
more than equal to any Spanish force on
the Island. but this promise was not kept,
and they are now so portioned out in the
different commands, that they are power
less for good to the cause which they with SO
much earnestness espoused, and unable to
protect themselves against the treachery
Of the people whom they volunteered to
serve. General Jordon's safety, even in
his present position, is only secured by a
guard Of company Of his own men.
1t is stated that the Americans are
carefully watched to prevent their escape,
and that in every fight they are so placed
as to be compelled to bear the brunt of the
contest, where they have to fight for their
lives, as no qua ter is ever given them
Even those who are wounded are ruth
lessly murdered on the field. Those who
have escaped and reached this country,
represent the condition of their former
comrades as most desperate. and their suf-
fering such as should awaken the sympa-
thy of every American. They report
that no promise made them in New York,
previous to their leaving for Cuba, has
been fulfllel. and that every representa-
ton made to them they found to be false
when they arrived on the Island. All
the letters received here from Cuba con-
firm these statements, and urge that i'm
mediate action should be taken by the
Government to rescue them from their
present situation.
Several fights have taken place, in all
of which it is reported the Spaniards
were defeated; they were, however, of
no Importance as affecting the result of
the contest.

WORT HAVE THE TRUTH.

DR.. Burrows, Of Richmond, was in
yited to preach in one of the churches in
Albany, New York, but the congregation
hearing that bis political opinions were
Southern, became very much excited, and
threatened to close the church The
doctor on being informed of the state OF
affairs by the pastor, very promptly de-
cllned preaching. He was afterwards in
vited to preach in one Of the Presbyterian
Churches, but under the circumstances he
thought it proper to decline the invitation
How patriotic the stay at-home soldiers
have become. And, strange to say, these
people profess to be Christians. Loyalty,
certainly, covers multitude of sins.

WOODSTOCK, VIRGINIA.
Thursday Morning, October 7, 1863.

The Legislature met in Richmond, on
Tuesday last. Several very important
subjects will be acted upon by this body.
First, the constitutional amendment will
claim attention. From every indication, it is
probable that it will be passed by large
majority. As to the wisdom of this ac-
ton We have considerable doubt, believing
as we do. that when legislative bodies act
from policy, instead of principle, they are
trampng upon very dangerous ground
1t is considered precedent to reconstruc-
ton, and for this reason many of our rep
resentatives will vote for it. Another
subject will be the election of u. S. Sen
stors. Quite number of gentlemen, it
appears, are willing to serve the Old Com
monwealth in this capacity. Among the
names mentioned are .Jno. Z. Lewis,
Judge Johnson, Franklin Stearns, Jo-
seph Segar, Gen. Williams, Or. Tharpe,
Horace Greeley anl others Each can
didate seems to have peculiar fitness for
the Office, some because tue are Virgin
iars, others because they are not, one be-
cause he is the favorite of Grant, and an
other because he is the brother-in law of
the President. We hope. however, that
if the Legislature thinks proper to elect
these officers they will choose Virginians
without cringing to the wishes or express
ed opinions of the head centre cf radi-
calism.
