pisArpEARASCE or COLLECTOR BAILEY.

HIS WHEREABOUTS UNKNowN-HIs SUCCESSOR
NOMINATED.
The sudden and mysterious disappearance OF
Mr. Joshua F. Bailey Collector of the Thrty-second In
ternsl Revenue District, the subject OF much
raent and street gossip yesterday In fact Tor weeks
matt there has little discussion in relation TO the
Collectors seizures Of whisky and prosecution Of whisky
dealers In HE District and those were not wanting who
n,sed that OF these seizures and prosecutions
we're msde and instituted without sufficient cause 10
warrant snch action.
Nj Bailey enjoyed the reputation OF being one OF
Tn, most arm jealous. and incorrupble public officers
in the Revenue service. his only fault being perhaps
oyerzss in pursuing alleged fraudulent
in his desire 70 serve Government and bring them to
,u,c, But IL has been noticed that since he failed to
establish the guilt OF Martin r. Cook OF the 1rn OF Cor
don, Fellows a. McMillan; OF f. ". harrington the
gaager OF Judge Fullerton, and especially Wheh certain
ttsteBeBa rejecting on has course ID prose
sutiLe merchants ia his district were publshed'
he became nervous, restless, and uneasy. when "
,etned almost certain that Judge Fullerton would be
acquitted, Collector Bailey missed from MS aocus-
toned scat near District Attorney Pierrepont since
which time he mas either at his residence
sntt. Vague ruIDors then arose to the 'neo' 'ha'
Collector Bailey had fed and color given 10 these
runors by others relating 10 his having drawn large
amounts Of money from the Merchants Bank where 1t
alleged kept both his official and private accounts

Of the ambush of Braddock at Fort Duquesne' ana

Pueblo retreated TO the coast by crcultous route
enabled 70 do so by the necessity of looking after
has oompadre Goyeneche. who had come into this
district from EsprItu Santo with body of 5000
men. and was threatening Guamaro. where We had
some supplies besides looking for his friend Pueblo.
Gen Goyeneohe was found, and ambushed in like
manner Pueblo. and, had il not been for prema-
ture shot, and the giving way of some raw troops

have had no reason to reproach Pueblo for his bad

The country is filled with enthusiasm over these

and the time is at hand when the Spaniards must
remain inactive, while we can operate everywhere

shadow of their bayonets. and hold only the ground

Others on our coast have brought US II any needful

trust may not allow their energy TO flag in aiding ms

Gen. Jordan is greatly indignant at the Spanish
falsehood that he offered TO surrender, and holds
Gen. DE Rodas responsible for the calumny. This
miscreant and murderer, De ROdas. red with the
blood of his oountrymen shed by his ferocity in both
hemsphsres, IN his temporarily safe stronghold of
Havana finds It less hazardous TO SANDER gallant
enemy than 20 meet him in battle The flag that
once waved over Cid. Gonzalyo de Cordova,
and was foremost in the cause of Christendom honor
and chivalry, Is now upheld by butcher of his fell
low creatures, who spares neither nor age, and
bears the satire Of the name "Caballero.' once
synonym for gentleness and humanity. The SLAM
ders against Gen. JOrdans devotion to this country
are weak inventions of the enemy, and should be
spurned by the American press.
Col Ryan is with US. and his friends, and those of
