The Colombian Senate rejected the late
treaty relative to the lsthmus Canal, made by
Mr. Caleb Gushing, on the grounds First, that
itdoes not sufficiently guarantee the sovereignty
of Colombia; second, that the pecuniary advan-

that the works should accrue to Colombia at
the end Of one hundred years, whether the
constructors have received pay for them or not.

The Richmond Enquirer observes that pres
sure Of nearly every kind has been brought TO
bear upon the good people Of Virginia in order
to enlist them in the new tangled political pro-
jscts Of the day. The object of some of these
schemes is to create (tor they haven't yet
planted even the germ a new Radical party in
Virginia. Seeds have been scattered broad.
cast, as it were, but they have fallen into soil
peculiarly unhealthy for their gemiuation. -
We hope TO see all the Conservatives united
and firm. Such of our citizens as have been
acting with the Radical organization, and desire
now to defeat that political party, should unite
with the Conservatives. That is their proper
course and duty.

We are given to understand that the REIN
statement OF Gov. Wells, in his position as

Those therefore who have commented on the
matter, as if it was doubtful case, may as we'll
submit to the necessity" 1t is no use to
treat the subject gingerly for fear Of exciting
prejudice" in Virginia. Every body now
knows that the Administration is, and probably,
will be conducted in the interest OF the Radical
party-we do not say, that in all things-ex-
treme Radical measures will be carried out. Of
that we shall be better able to judge hereafter.

Sergeant belonging to company Tow doing
duty at the garrison, met an untimely death at
the hands Of a sentinel on duty at the time
Strict orders had been given to the sentry to
challenge everybody approaching towards him,
and it seems that one of the garrison chimneys
had taken FIRE, and the Lieutenant, no doubt
under excitement, was running towards the
beat of the sentry who, it is said, after chal-
longing, fired. A Sergeant who, upon seeing
the officer fall, ran to the spot, only to meet
the same fate, for the sentinel had reloaded
his quo, and he, too, was brought to the
ground. Both men were killed almost instant

ANNIvERsARY OF THE FALL OF RICHMOND.
Saturday morning, at an early hour, a colored
cavalier, mounted on an elderly bay steed, with
heavy fetlocks, rode from corner to corner Of
the city footing cali upon brass horn, similar
to that heard at April court.
He was, we learned signaling the coIored
societies to organize for the procession In honor
of the anniversary of the fall OF Richmond In
obedience to this order, instead OF multitude
of gorgeously attired people, whose gntterlng
uniforms and banners with strange devices, all
under the command of Colonel Ben Scott, were
wont to dazzle the eyes of spectators two or
three years ago, the following secret societies
alone turned out: United Sons OF Love, Ris-
in- Sons Of America, Factory Mechanics, Ris-
ing Christians. These marched after music
from Lewis Lindsay's band, and were haran-
gucd by Lewis Lindsay and others in the alter
noon on Capitol Square. Holiday spageants
don't pay anybody but Lewis and his tooters,
and the colored folks have found it out. -Rtch-

THE political" CoNDTIoN.-The Nor
folk Virginian thus strongly puts the case:
eff we can elect Colonel Withers or Mr.. Wal
ker VIC can Uy Inc SdlEe SOtc uSicde tuo IouS't
tuition thus it appears that Walker stands no
better chance than Withers, as the defeat OF
that instrument operates the defeat of the cam
didate. In this condition of affairs no reasona.
able man ought to expect the Conservative
party to desert their chosen standard bearer.
We repeat if the people can elect Mr. Walker
as Republican opposed to the Underwood
constitution, they can with greater certainty
elect Colonel Withers and in either event the
election of either candidate would operate the
defeat OF the Underwood constitution, which
would be his own defeat, thus bringing Us back
to the position we now occupy.
FROM THE WEST INDIES. -Advices from
Cuba state that Col. FalIer is organizing bat
talon of free blacks for active service by per-
mission of the Government The Voce de
Cuba approves of the organization of colored
regiments, and adds that the colored people
favor Spain, and have always repealed the
offers of the insurgents. 1t is reported that
the insurgents have destroyed portions of the
Sapua Ia Grande Railroad.
Porto Rico is tranquil. Gen. Laurens is or
ganizing corps of volunteers as purely pre-
