The TELEaRApHRRs' STRIKE-A FLAG
OF TRUcE.-So far as this district is CON
cerned, the telegraphers' strike may be
pronounced at on end. and it has resulted
in the overthrow of the position taken
by the strikers, without any compromise
on the prrt of the company Yesterday
afternoon, the Richmond operators gave
In; and then, as the news flew along the
line, the rebels laid down their arms
most MS rapidly as the engagement had
become general. So far, the strikers,
when their services were needed, have
been reinstated without their asking any
conditions. 1t is evident that deception
has been practioed upon the operators in
this section, and that they have been
made the dupes of designing men in the
North and West. The correspondence,
published in the New York papers,
which reached here yesterday, shows that
the Offices of the company in New York
stated positively to the representative
strikers that no l.. duction of salaries had
been contemplated. and that the men
discharged in San Francisco were dis.
charged only because their services were
not needed.-RicAmond Dispatch.

THE FAILURE OF THE CUBAN REvoLU-
T1oN.-The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald, who has been
on the side of Cuba, writes that he has
information from high official sources to
the effect that the Cuban revolution has
proved an utter failure. He says:
'Hhe facts alluded to are based upon
official information from our agents in
various parts of Cuba, as we'll AS from
private letters received from Washington
and elsewhere, from parties whose op-
portunities of obtaining accurate know
ledge of the progress of the civil war are
such as to guarantee perfect reliability.
The inference to be drawn from these
dispatches and letters is that'the revolu-
ton of the patriots is on its last legs.
Their forces are reduced to a mere hand
full of armed and unarmed men, who are
carrying on n predatory warfare, merely
prolonging the struggle in the forlorn
hope that something may yet turn up to
help their cause, and that then their lit
tle family may be made the nucleus from
which will gather the dispirited patriots
in every part of the island. The revo.
lutionary party, according to his infor.
nation, is now driven out of every
stronghold which few months ago il
possessed. 1t holds not single town
on the island, and is compelled to coniine
itself to attacks upon the Spaniards along
the narrow roads and bridle-paths
Further thaD .tlhiis4 itssolr is badly de.
moralized and distracted by internal dis.
sensions, which cause all its expensive
efforts to aid the patriots to eventuate in
failures and disasters

The ENGLISH CHURCH. Balti-
moro 4Smn says:
1.-The excitement in regard to the con
secration OF DIR. Temple to the See of
Exeter does not seem TO have abated in
England. The opposition to him is
based on volume of essays and reviews,
said to have been of infidel tendency,
though written by clergymen, to which
Dr. Temple is reputed to have contri-
bnted, though it is not alleged 1that his
individual contribution was EXCEPTIONS
BILE In that respect. The practical i'm
portance of this case consists in the il
lnstration which it is held to afford by
those who opposed the consecration of
DIR. Temple, that the idea at loast or
some power in the Church. independent
OF the State, is dissipated by tho fiat of
MIR. Gladstone, which has forced DR..
Temple into the See of E~eter-an ex-
ercise of power which i, ..ading many.
even of those who had never before aues-
toned the expediency of o union of
Church and State, to doubt it's propriety.
The cable telegram which lately conveyed
the message that DR.. Temple had been
elected Archbishop of Canterbury instead
of Bishop of Exeter, showed IL singular
ignorance of prominent affairs under the
operators own eye. The Archbishopric
of Canterbury, the chief ecclesiastical
dignity in the English Church, was filed
some time ago, and the illness of the
incumbent by a stroke Of paralysis, and
the varying stages of his disease, have
been among the chief topics of local in
terest in the English newspapers for
months.

No LEGAL COURTS IN ALABAMA The
Supreme Court of Alabama has rendered
decision. in the case of Benaiah S.
Bibb and William G. Bibb, &c parie, the
effect of which is said, by the Montgo-
merry Matt, to be to declare that there
were no legal courts in Alabama during
the war; that all judgments, sales of
property, &C., perfected under DEGREES of
the courts which sat during the war, are
null and void! The Mail continues: "It
follows from this decision. and others of
Tuesday, that all debts contracted before
the war are dead, and that all property
sold' under judgments awarded npon
such debts, reverts to The original
owner. The debts are dead. because
the scalawag Legislature, at it's last sea.
sion, repealed all the laws which pnr-
ported to have suspended the operation
OF the statute of limitations. This point.
however, was argued, yesterday, before
the Supreme Court. We will sec whe-
ther the Court declares that the statute
has never been suspended. We pre-
sumo that the ruling which the Court
makes as to tho period of the Confede. |
rate Government will also apply to the
period of the Patton and Parsons Go.

THE PRINTERS HoHENuNDEN,


In seasons when our funds are low
Subscribers are provoking slow;
A few supplies keep up the flow
1 or dimes departing rapidly.
But we shall see sadder sight,
When duns pour in from morn till
a4f night
Commanding every sixpence bright
70 be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due-bills are arrayed,
Each seal and signature displayed ;
The holders vow they must be paid,
With threats of law and clIallcery.
Then to despair we're almost driven,
There's precious little use of livin' I
Wien our last copper's rudely riven
From hands that held IL lovingly.
But larger yet these dues shall grow
When interests added on below,
Lengtk'ning our chain foot or so,
When gazing at them hopelessly.
IT'S so. that scarce have we begun
To plead for time upon dun. ...
Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay feroclously.
The prospect darkens-on ye brave
Who wOuld-our very bacon save;
Waive, patrons, all your pretext!

And pay the printers cheerfully.

All it would yield us pleasure swee
A few delinquents now to meet,
Asking of us clear receipt
For papers taken regularly.
