GEN. SICKLEs MARROW EscAPE.-Gen. Dan
Sickles, our Minister to Spain, recently had q
very narrow escape from the clutches of the
brigands who invest that renowned "nation of
beggars." 1t appears that the general is oblig-
ed, at regular intervals, to 60 from his country
residence to Madrid, in order to discharge his
official duties. This fact was taken advantage
OF by the brigands. Recently he was expected
to leave Madrid by the o'clock P. M. train.
but he left at $50 P. M. Having,perhaps been
warned against the insecurity of the roads, he
adopted the shrewd policy of crossing the
mountains when not expected. On arriving
a. Vlllalba, accompanied by his Secretary. the
General called for the same conveyance which
had taken them from La Granja to ViIlalba.-
The driver, evidently surprised to see them.
said he expected them by the 8 P. M. train
The carriage was Immediately got ready and
set OFT for the mountains. When the coach in
which it was expected the General would come
arrived at lonely spot among the mountains.
couple of brigands broke the cover and de.
manded the General from among the passen-
gers. The negative being given, they closely
examined the passengers, and, mot finding him.
contented themselves with robbing all that
were there. The government, knowing what
a serious affair it would be should a foreign
representative fall into the hands OF the brig
ands. have sent a detachment Of gendarmes to
protect the General whenever he goes to Will
alba.

from the Press,)

In your paper of Sept 9th, appears COM
munication from one who signs himself "*"
He states that no inconsiderable part of the
profits of the Pepperell Mills during the past
year, "were made up of interest on the up
wards of 100000 balance due from Messrs'
F. Skinner & Go. carried to credit of Pepper
on Co. and never paid" This "no inconsider-
able part of their profits amounted to $751;
772,O5, which deducted from their profits "as
made up" leaves still a profit for the year in
the Pepperell Mills of $173,6sO 90. The La
conia Company had the benefit of a similar
interest due from Messrs. F. Skinner & Co,
but "never paid" amounting to $22, los Is.
Let this same interest be deducted from the
Laconia Co.'S profits 'as made up and reported
to be $19,50000, and we fail to see any great
balance in their favor!
The somebody who has seen fit to parade
the statement which appears in the argus of
Sept 18th and Goth was none less than one
of the Stockholders who was present at the
annual meetings of both Companies, and took
the figures from the Treasurer's report as
"made up" and stated the fact in the Boston
papers, from which the item in the Argus
was evidently copied. The way of making
up the accounts may be all wrong, but when
on" states that one Company had no "incon-
siderable part" of their profits "made up" in
the way he shows, let HIM also state that
the other Company had all of their profits
"made up" in the same way. "Those who
live in glass houses, &c" 10
