General News,

Secretary Fish has received from Havana
full particulars of the seizure by the Spanish
Government, off Cuba, of the Lloyd Aspin-
wall, despatch boat of about 700 tons, run
ming from Port au Prince to Havana, in Jan
uary. When boarded, the captain exhibited
his despatch bag for Secretary Fish, one to
the admiral commanding the United States
fleet at Havana, and to our Consul General at
Havana, but it was of no avail. The Aspn-
wall is still held by the Spanish feet. A plain
demand for explanation and satisfaction has
been sent by Secretary Fish to Mr.. Roberts.

effigy in nearly every town in the district. At
Tenemonsville the efigy was nailed to a cross.
and barrel of pitch was burned beneath it.

Saturday, in which white and black men tool,
part, and Mr.. Whittemore's statement of his
case was received with great applause. Meet

The New Telegraph scheme

MR.. EDIToR:-We have heard, on what we
supposed respectable authority, that the new
telegraph project is an enormous Job to put
immense profits into private pockets, but the
cost is to come out Of the q. s. Treasury. II
this be so, we hope our Senators and Repre-.
sentatives will strive to keep Spectators
hands out of the public purse, at least until
our great debt is funded. II, after that, the
treasury is turned out to be scrambled for, it
will not be so miscellaneous as now

We COPY this from the Natchez South:
On Tuesday evening last a complimentary
reception was rendered General and Mrs.
Ames, ct the residence Of Major C. H. Kirk
endall, which proved most enjoyable az
fair, and witnessed a larger and much more
fashionable gathering than some people
would imagine hatcher could boast Of.
guests, and the host and hostess We'd with
each other in their endeavors to make every.
body feel at home and comfortable.
Among the nOtables present besides the
Senator and his lady were the Hon. John S.
Harris, Hon. A. B. Harris, of Louisiana,
General CASTILLO and lady, Hon. O. C.
French and lady, Judge Reber. Colonel
Cooley and lady, and others.
Tho affair had q very pleasing double
Mn. Ames that they have many and sincere
friends in our city, who will ever he ready
to extend to them the Inequalities of their
homes, the truest test of friendship, and it
also convinced those people with whom the
01Btinguiehod couple was enabled thus to
meet, that they had met nan thoroughly
awake to the issues of this hour, as mo-
ments conversation would readily attest,
and withal a gentleman calculated to leave
good impression upon all he may meet,
socially or in business way. Mrs. Ames
charmed everyone by her ease and perfect
freedom from aught that might be classed
~ afEectati0n.
On Tuesday the Inequalities of Colonel
Cooley and his accomplished lady
were rendered to the General and wife
and . few friends, and except for the
necessity Of his hurried departure,
NO doubt tho freedom Of many
houses would have been in turn extended to
them. We bepe : good and lasting impres-
sion Of the kindly qualities of their Natchez
