SPAIN As AN ENEMY TO TIE UNITED STATES.
II the following from the New York Times has
any foundation in fact. II is very clear that
Spain is not entitled to any especial considers
ton from the government Of the United States:
A statement made not long since by Mr.. II.
]. Perry, our Secretary Of Legation In Spain,
TO the effect that the government Of Spain re-
solved at one period Of our civil war, to COM
mence war against the United States, has ex-
cited n good deal Of attention and curiosity.
From information that has since reached us we
arc inclined to believe the statement we'll found
cd. The determination Of Spain was brought
about by the intrigucs Of the Emperor Of the
French, and was based on complaint that our
government had been guilty Of q violation Of
neutral rights. The 9th Of October, 1868, was
fixed upon as the day for commencing hostili-
ties, orders to that effect having been already
sent out by the Spanish government, but through
the active efforts Of liberal Spaniards, devoted
friends Of our cause as identical with their own.
counter orders were sent out by the steamer
from CadiI Of September 10Th, 1868, and the
whole affair was suppressed. In the present
condition Of Spanish politics It would be highly
imprudent TO disclose the names Of the persons
who rendered us this service. They are all now,
since the revolution, prominent public men, and
their positions and influence would be seriously
compromised by premature disclosure Of their
agency In this transactions; but the time will
probably come before long when their names
can be made known and we can award them the
Acknowledgements their friendly services dc

Az OLp MAN WHIPPED TO DEATn.-Thc
Granada (Miss.) Sentinel records an exceeding
ly brutal murder which was perpctratc1 near
that place on the 10Th ult. II seems that about
midnight two men called at the house Of John
Fu,bcy, ferryman, and asked to be taken
across the river to procure physician. Pleas
Futhey opened the door, when he was seized
and dragged out. In the meantime, three moro
men entered the house and pullel John Futhey
from his bel and dragged him out Of doors.
All tho parties were white, but one was dis
cuised rs an African. John Futhcy resisted as
stoutly rs he was able, when the assassins loop
cl a rupc around his neck and dragged him
about four hundred yards, when they began to
whip and otherwise abuse him, continuing till
life was extinct. While this was going on the
other men held Pleas Futhey securely in their
hands about thirty yards from where his broth
or was being tortured and forcibly made to be =
listener to TO his lamentations without being
able to assist him. After the brutal work was
done the party let Pleas go, with threats that II
he ever divulged the names Of any of the as
sassins they would serve him like they had the
brother. The deceased was an inoffensve, weak
old man, almost ready to step into his grave
ono whom the community cared very little for,
and 50 Insignificant that none can conjecture
what brought him such terrible punishment.
The body Of the murdered man shows that the
whipping was cruel beyond comprehension.
The military have arrested II ID. Chatham,
Glenn Elg n, and Bob Wilson, all men of good
character, On suspicion Of being implicated in
the crime.

A CURIOSITY IN TELEGRAPnISs.-The tele-
graph operator who receives the Associated
Press dispatches in st. Louis is deaf as post,
and his method Of receiving messages is exceed
ingly interesting. Good operators receive by
the ear, the clicking Of the instrument being to
them like audible reading, each letter and word
being tickei of as distinctly as though spelled
out by human voice. Not hearing single
sound, he places his knees against the operating
table. and by his peculiar and sensitive nerves
feels each vibration 50 distinctly that he Is able
20 surpass ordinary receivers in the accuracy OF
his reports. He hears nothing about him, is
never disturbed, and consequently works in a
silent world Of his own. In this condition his
memory has become wonderfully retentivc, and,
as consequence, his manuscript Is very cor
rect. The mode Of communication the telegraph
boys have with him is to tick of, as on an in
strument. upon his hand or the back of his
neck such things as they issire to say to him.
This is by no means tedious, as the process is
quite as rapid as an ordinary drum beat

4 Foolish Girf.

The San Francisco Bulletin has the following
account Of the death Of young lady from
Maine, the Coroner's inquest showing that she
had taken q dose Of arsenic to beautify her com.
plexou, and had thereby destroyed her life
Coroner Letterman was informed yesterday
that a young lady had died in the city, the cir
cumstances Of whose death required investiga-
ton. He found that the name Of deceased
was belinda Louisa Cook; and that the cause
of death was poison. On visiting the house the
Coroner found that arrangements had been
made for her funeral yesterday afternoon. lie
gave directions to have the burial postponed,
took charge Of the body, and in the evening
held an inquest over the remains. Miss Cook
was = native Of Maine. aged Is years. She had
been in this State but five or six weeks, and was
living with some friends on Shiplcy street. She
was bcst with robust health and endowed with
more than an ordinary degree OF beauty, but a
ruddy complexion. For the purpose Of acquir-
ing q more delicate complexion, Il appears she
had decided to resort TO tho use Of arsenic, q
habit not uncommon among wcakminded and
frivolous women. Miss Cook seems to have
been entirely ignorant Of the use Of the materi.
al. She visited the drug store Of c. D'Asson-
vile, l1l6 Folsom staeet, and procured two
ounces Of arsenic. The box which contsned II
was marked "arscnic, poison" .-.
On SATURDAY. afternoon Mt 4 O'Clock Miss
Cook was taken suddenly i'll. When question:
I'll she stated that she had taken nearly tea
spoonful Of the contents Of the box. When in
formed that she had taken large dose Of dead
ly poison, and that her life probably could not
be saved, she was greatly astonished, and in
tense mental anguish was added to her already
terrible physical suffering. Every possible cf-
fort was male by the physicians in attendance
TO save the life Of the sufferer, hut she died ut

GEy. GRANT As A MILITARY COMMANDER
The London Times closes four-coumn review
Of Gen. Grants military career with the follow
ing estimate Of his character as great COM
mander;
Looking back at the military career Of this
eminent soldier, il is not difficult to distinguish
its peculiar characteristics. We do not think
Grant a very great strategist; in the two cam
paigns Of Vicksburgh and Richmond he did not
show that clear apprehension Of the means TO
accomplish great ends, that skill In the large
combinations Of war which Napoleon called the
highest gifts Of general. lie also wasted the
lives Of his soldiers. We sec this defect over
and over again from Pittsburgh Landing to the
battles IN Virginia. But Grant had the genius
to perceive in general and comprehensive
manner the true way TO subduc the South
From an early period he pointed out that the
strength Of the North must be brought TO bear
against its foe in few vital parts, and he Sc
lcctcl admirably the true theatres Of action.
Yet it is his moral qualities, perhaps, that best
entitle him to rank as great commander.
Firm, rcsolute, daring, tenacious, energetic, he
is the type Of one Of those old Romans who so
often wrestcd victory from Fortune, and ulti-
matcly triumphed over all opposition; and no
has the inestimablc merit Of approaching subor-
climates and Of making himself beloved by his
s~ldiers II he does not stand among the great
est masters who have illustrated the art Of war,
he has certainly place among tho most distin-
guishcd generals Of the second order who have
appeared in this century.
