Private advces from Tennessee, received here today
give rise to the belief that exPresident JOhnsons pros
poets election TO the United States Senate ncrea
ing 1t is WE'LL known that his most formidable opponent
up to this time has been the Hon. Bailey PeytOn who has
now withdrawn from the contest, and is warm sup
porter OF Mr. Johnson. . .
On inquiry in the proper quarters learn that the
rumor printed in the Gable dispatches of the Associated
Press this morning regarding the purchase OF Cuba is
untrue Negotiations have been opened with that object
In view but have not advanced further than mutual
explanations tits therefore not improbable that the
dispatch premature and the officers OF the Spanish
legation and in fact ell the prominent members Of the
diplomatic CORPS express the opinion that Spain will
resort her proverbia delay in the matter and finally
reject the proposition. ...
The heads of the several Departments succeeded sew
eral months ago in reducing the clerical force OF their re-
spectve to the number contemplated by the a
preparation acts. They have discovered that the
public business is better cared for by the reduced force
than it was under last Administration when there
was continual cry for clerks and It is not mprob
able that further decrease Will be recommended at the
next session Of Congress.
The first volume Of the Diplomatic Correspondence viii

city, the people supposing that the squadron
came for the uprpose of homhardiug the

visited the Contocook and had an interview
with Admiral Hofi On July l3, Hof had
an interview with the governor, and on July
IA, the governor returned the visit, and Off
cial sautes were interchauged. Admiral
Hof made thorough examination. of the
circumstances attending the murder OF
Americans. The governor said that he
could not resist the clamor Of the volunteers
for their blood, and consented to their exc.
cution on the ground Of the late Capt. Gen.
Dulcee's proclamation declaring 6libusters
pirates. Admiral Hoff severely condemns
their execution without trial, and made q
sharp protest against it. The governor
agreed to allow prisoners to be tried in flu

iards no. to bring iu prisoners hereafter, but
to kill them on the spot The squadron
left Santiago de Cuba on July l6 inst. and

presented himself at the gentleman's door
John was soon installed. He was greatly

one of the daughters, about twent, two
years Of age, who by degrees came to look
upon him with an ardent affection. John.

the young woman, aud they soon came to g

the Episcopal church Of the village. They
returned home and assumed their daily du
ties, as though nothing had happened, until
Tuesday last, when they departed with all
their perronaI property to sone region where
parents cannot annoy them. All efforts to
discover their whereabouts have so far
proved futile. Mrs. John C0rson, that is, is
