TIE probability of the establishment

TIE probability Of the establishment,
ola regency in Spain increases. The
Cortes has decided by q vote of 49,
against GA that Spain shall not be re-
public, and also decided against the es.
Establishment of Triennial Directory.
Prim Serano and Rivero appeared to
have the reins in the own hands, and
are driving to suit themselves. Should
u regency be proclaimed, as now seem
likely, Prim will be at its head. All eff.
forts to procure King have failed,
and 1t is not improbable that Spain
will have to get along without one for
some time. The dissatisfaction that
has lately showed itself in the Provinces
appears TO have got into Madrid, for
II Is announced that several members
ofthc Civil Guard in that city have been
arrested on charges at present unknow
With an exceedingly slim Treasury and
q disconnected populace, the present
managers Of &aairs 10 Spain have o.
rather dif,cult and psrplexing job op|

FROM Cuba we learn that q real bat
tie has been fought ut last. 1t took
place on the Bird inst, at Los Minas
The Spaniards twelve hundred strong
are said to have been defeated with q
loss of l6O killed and 800 wounded. AT
Altagracia, a few days before, there
was fight in which the Spaniar,ls lost
100 and the Cubans 200. Queseda, tho
commander Of the insurgents adopted
some fine tactics ut the Los Minas en-
gagenent lie posted the native Gu.
bans in front, protected by entrench.
ments, and placed q force OF Domini.
cans and Americans in their rear, with
orders to fire If they ran. When the
Cubans began TO waver, the men be-
hind came at them with bayonets and
forced them back to their work. Thus
they succeeded in driving the tSelyS
hun' d Spaniards from the field. We
hear from Washington that the insur-
gents intend to do some wonderful thing
within the next ten days. The tilibus-
tering business has fallen of since our
last and is very dull indeed. As we
intimated last week, the reports about

Pollard Again.
WINCHESTER, May 10, 1869.

Some months ago it was announced
that E. A. Pollard was engaged in wri
ting a life of Mr.. Jefferson Davis. !
was an announcement that was receive,
with little favor in any quarter Th'
whole press Of the South indignantly
rcprobatcd the intent, well knowing
the would-be biographer's malignant
hatred of Mr. Davis.
If any further proof were needed OF
Pollard's unftness for the task, his
own circular furnished it in abundance.
Prctentlous, egotistical, arrogant, and
bearing in every avowal evidences of a
judgment warped and darkened by per
sonal prejudices and disappointme nts,
the writer demonstrated his eminent
fitness to be the hearty and vigorous
detractor, not the impartial blographer
of the ex- chief Of the great revolution.
Ifonc's enemy, blinded by passion and
hate, may write ones biography, then
Mr.. Pollard may write the life of Jeffer-
son Davis. In that case he has high
literary qualiications--a pen fertile
and facile in detraction only.
The truth is, Pollard writes for the
North, not for the South; for the
spoil-laden victor, not for the impov-
erished vanquished. We wish, there
fore, once more to remind our people
Of Mr.. Pollard's entire personal unfit
ness for the task he has undertaken
to which it may be added that the work
is not at all likely, either, to claim at.
tention on the score Of its revelations
gathered behind the scenes in Rich
mond." Pollard long since exhausted
his materials of Confederate history.
He has been refused access to the Con.
federate State papers in Washington,
and his relations with Mr.. Davispreclu-
ied the possibility of his knowing
'ught Of that gentleman's policy or
wishes beyond what was communicated
o the public at large, The work may
AXE with the North--will probably Sc
,ure the writer an appointment; but
Jefferson Davis is too deeply seated in
he chastened affections of the South
IN people, too high in the esteem of all
minded men, for Po!lard's preten-
ious diatribe to find place in our
ouseholds.

s.ure Cistern Water.
Prin. Robert Donnell Institl
Manchester, May 81, 1859.

Cistcrn water becoyl foul and often
sivc because it contains Urge amount
Of organic matt er derived from 'n'
air, etc. This matter may be in the
form of germs, or it may be in the
process of growth or decay. 1t may
be vegetable or animal, or both, the
latter condition generally prevailing
This matter undergoes rapid growth
and decay, and exceedingly rapid null
tiplcation. When the temperature is
warm, as in the summer, there are two
ways to correct the evil: First, by
entire separation of all organic matter
from the water; second, by its COM
plete destruction while in the water
The first object can scarcely be accom-
plished, as no simple filter would sepa-
rate all germs, and even il separated,
the water could not be kept for use ex-
posed to the air. The proper method
of publication is, therefore, by chem
ical destruction. This may be etfectu-
ally, economically and safely done by
the permanganate of potassa, used in
the proportion of about an ounce to
fifty gallons Of water. A destructive
chemical change takes place, the or
ganic matter is reduced. and the whole
mass is percipitated as an inert and
harmless sediment. The chemical re-
action is marked by purple coloring
of the solution, and this color indicates
the presence of organic matter. The
permanganate should be added until
this color disappears, when You may
know that the organic matter is entire
ly destroyed, for an infnitesimal
quantity of the latter will be detected
by the former This preparation of
potash may be obtained at any drug
gists.-A Physician, in Hearth and
Home.

Letter of Acceptance.
Editor Home Journal.

Ldtf0r nome J0UThdt:
The paragraph in your issue Of the
18th inst, announcing the desire Of my
.citizens that ! should become a
candidate for the place Of Representa-
tive in the General Assembly for this
county, has been suitably considered
by myself and others whom ] have con-
suited, and it has been thought ad-
visable that should sanction the call.
But in thus offering myself for this
position, desire to be understood,
that If it shall not meet the wishes of
the people, in order that fraternal
feeling may be increased, and peace
and harmony in a measure restored,
that | shall take the privilege to with
draw.
Though belonging to the Republican
party because we believe it best suited
to our ideas Of national progress, still
in matters of State policy and local in
terest we believe that we can be mag
soyimous, and OF the same time be
just.
1t is with this spirit that we meet oul
fellow.c citizens, desiring to restore, o.
far as in us lies, the ancient landmarks
Of citizenship; that wherever taxation
shall 60 representation shall follow.
We believe that the General Govern
ment was never stronger than now
able to protect any and every citizen
who lives under its flag. And be-
licving this, we see no reason why any
State should live under the ban Of dis
reimbursement.
If elected, shall labor not only to
secure peace, but to have the ballot
accessible to all TO have economy en-
forced in every branch of the State
Government; to hasten the tide of en-
isration now setting in, and thus enable
US to take our position as one Of the
first States Of the Union.
We have but one course marked out
to follow, and that is the path Of duty,
which lies before every true and per-
manent citizen. TO this course we
shall adhere whether we stand or fall
whether on mission for the people.
or at home with our plow, and when
fully entering into the sentiment Of
"charity toward ALL and malice toward
none," shall leave the issue to the de,
cision of the people.
Respectfully.
S. d. MATHER.

We see by advertisement, that OF

of the Mount Vernon estate will be
paid up at public auction. The man
sion and tomb of Washington are ex-
cepted from the sale, and the Baltimore
Gazette says, though there would seem
to he little reason now for such reserva-
ton, if both were included in the ad-
vertisement, the American people
would receive the announcement with
quiet indifference. Why should they
do otherwisep The Constitutional
Government which they affected to
prize above oil earthly things now ex-
list in name only. The Republic which
they once regarded with q noble pride
has lapsed into a despotism. The lib

be dishonored and shrines consecrated

Chief Justice Chase has rendered
another important decision in Rich,
mond. In a case against the United
States Marshal of the Richmond dis
trict in 1861, for funds turned over to
the Confederate Government, the de-
PENDANT pleaded the U. S. statute of
limitations. The plea was admitted by
the Chief Justice, and the Government
nonsuitcd. The same plea will be put
forward by the postlnasters in the
Southern States who, on the breaking
out of the war, transferred the funds in
their possession to the Confederate
Government. This decision is one Of
the most important made since bc war,
as it practically bars proceedings
against hundreds Of OK U S. officials in
the South, who were to be prosecuted
for obeying the Confederate Govern
ment when it was the only Government
that could enforce authority over them.

vote on the bill will be taken on 31st
Of May. In the House ofLords, Earl
Russell inquired what plan the govern
ment proposed "for putting a stop to
the outrages which have lately been SO
frequent in Ireland" He deprecated
Mr.. Bright's land scheme as likely to
unsettle the Irish people and called up
on the government to discountenance
all visionary schemes, and state clear
ly what it intended to do. Lord Der
by followed in the same spirit, and said
the reticence of the government was
dangerous to the best interests of Ire.
land. The sollcitude of these gentle
men for the best interests of Ireland is
quite remarkable. Earl Granville the
Colonial Secretary, regretted that Rus
sell and Derby would not let the Irish
question alone, and said the govern
ment was not prepared to state its pol
icy, nor was he authorized to give an
opinion on Bright's plan. Whereupon
the subject was again put aside.
