1.-THE best of feeling prevailed during
the convention, nothing occurring SO far
as we learned, in the least to disturb the
harmony OR mar the enjoyments of the
occasion. And though we had not the
full assurance that all in attendance are
strictly total abstinence persons, we rec
ognized the influence of alcohol in but a
single instance. If we mistake not, the
fumes of alcohol are becoming less con.
genial to the spirit of intelligence, refine
ment and progress than IN years of the
past"
We will only add that during all the
excursion We saw but very little drinking
OF alcoholic beverages, even to beer, and
no one who seemed to be much under
their influence.

THE KENosHA FIRE.-About five
o'clock, on Monday, July 4th, a drunken
man went into the American House barn
with cigar in his mouth, and it is sup
posed laid down in the hay, shortly after
the building was in flames, which spread
SO rapidly that before the horses coulG
be got out of the barn, four were burned
up and three had their eyes burned out
The fire spread rapidly and four build
ings in the vicinity were destroyed be-
fore the fire could be checked. Among
the loosers were Sumner 81 Bassinoer,
who had valuable horse so badly burn
ed that there is no chance Of it's recovery.
There are great fears entertained that the
man who went into the haymow, was al
SO burned but nothing positive is known.

New YORK, March 15.-General
James Watson Webb writes a long
letter to the Tribune from Havana,
dated March 5th, favoring the accord
ance of belligerent~rights TO the Gu
bans, and says if. the President and
Secretary Fish be permitted to know
the whole truth they would have been
accorded six months ago. He says
the Cubans have $4,000 to 10000 well
armed troops, and about as many
more earring pixies, and that on the
authority of Spanish volunteer, if
100, 600 stand of arms could be landed
there they would find Cubans to carry
them, and Havana would fall in a
fortnight. The officer claimed that
gunbOats built in the United States
had so guarded the island that it was
impossible to land arms and ammu-
milton. General webb says the cru
elites perpetrated upon the Cubans ac-
tually exceed belief. Cold blOoded
murders and indiseriminate butch
cries are perpetrated by the Spanish
soldiers and Spanish volunteers upon
defenseIess women and children which
makes ones blood boil with indigna-
tiOn.
