BURNING OF THE STEAMSHIP DE SOTO.

Total Destruction Of the ship md Cargo.
The steamship De Solo, OF the New Orleans line.
while on the voyage from New Orleans to this port,
was with her cargo totally destroyed by fire on the
night OF the 3ist nlt., on the Mississippi river,
twenty-five miles below New Orleans
She run on McColl's Flat, where she burned to
the water's edge. The steamer and cargo consist.
ing OF 9SS bales OF cotton, 200 hhds. or sugar and
LOCO barrels of moasses, valued at $3.50 OO0 are al
most total loss. Insurance unknown On the
25th December the De Soto cleared from New Orleans
for this port but was run into by tugboat and re-
turned to New Orleans for repairs.
The De soto was steamship OF l,577 tons, built In
1885, IN this city. by Lawrence Il Fouks for the Hava-
ma and New Orleans trade, and rated AL at Loyds.
At the breaking out OF the war she was purchased
by the government and during hostilitles did good
service as cruiser and blocKader At the close OF
the war, when the navy was reduced she was, with

Death of General Prim.

General Prim, the Marshal Count do Reus
lies dead in Madrid. Ne expired of his
wounds delivered by the hands of armed
assassins. The facts connected with the out
rage have been specially reported in the
HERALD. The elimination of the murderous act
is announced In our columns this morning.
Prim. the great soldier, fell as did Cesar, by
the hand of an assassin. Politics, with the
ruinous Generalization which results to
society from a continued Indulgence of the
spirit of party strife, induced the deed. Ex-
pectant placemen had become Thugs. The
man whom they supposed to stand in their way
was made the victim of their unreasoning jeal-
ousy and blind revenge. The facts connected
with the commission of the assault on Prim,
its more immediate consequences and the
fatal termination appear elsewhere in our col
umns. The exciting causes and their complica-
tions are also reviewed. Italian royalty makes
its advent to the Iberian peninsula at mo-
ment Of very sad gloom. 'When shall the
olive branch be free from blight?" The ques-
ton remains with Prim-lying in his death
chamber-just as it did at the moment Of the
battles from Badajos to Salamanca and
Waterloo

King victor EmmanueI in Rome.


The event 80 long dreamed over, thoughe Of
and planned for has at length been partially,
almost wholly, completed, by the entrance Of
Victor Emmanuel into Rome as King Of un.
divided Italy. At the commencement Of the
year which has just passed away Pho Mono
was seated in undisturbed possession of his
Inheritance, and the soldiers of Napoleon oc-
cupied the Eternal City, and the event which
has just been telegraphed through the cable
found but small place in the minds of his
Holiness or his Cardinals. But two months
prior to the war now raging in France per-
ton of the imperial troops were recalled.
This was regarded as the first indication Of
danger. The declaration of war against Prus-
sia served as an occasion for the withdrawal OF
the remainder of the soldiers of the empire
The Pope was now left to himself, and the
Italian government, profiting by the revsrses
which France met on her own soil, resolved
to consummate an act which for long time
has been the aim of Italian statesmen. The
small army of his Holiness melted away before
the soldiers of Victor Emmanuel, and Rome was
entered during the month of September by the
royal troops in the name of the King OF Italy
Not even then, not even now, does Pho Mono ac-
knowledge tho kingly right claimed by the
reigning monarch of the Italian people. From
his chamber in the Vatican his Holiness hurled
his anathema for second time on the "sacri-
legious invaders From every part of the
civilized world came protests from the Catholic
See. The edifice of Italian unity is crowned,
Victor Emmanuel is King of Italy, and Rome
is the capital Of the nation. Verify do wo
see in the event just consummated the force
Of the expression employed by the Pope him

INTIMIDATION IN GEoRGIA.-Prominent re-
publican Congressman insist that the election
in Georgia was carried by intimidation. But
on which side was the intimidation-on the
part Of the United States troops sent to
enforce the new election law or on the part Of
victory2 If the new law, which secured so
fair and peaceful an election here, fails to
succeed in Georgia there is something
radically wrong in the law itself. Some cleo
tions even in Georgia, may go democratic and
be fair and orderly, too.

TIE STEAMSHIP HoRNEr.-Onr correspond
cnt at Havana sends us further details of the
steamer Hornet a. Nassau. The Cubans at
that place were much incensed at the Cover
nor for sending British man-ol-war to watch
her but the lookout did not amount to any
thing, the Hornet easily leaving her disagree
able companion. 1t is reported that while at
Nassau she took on board an armament. If
this Is the case, she may give the Spaniards
much trouble and we may hear of operations
on a scale similar to those Of the Alabama.
In point of speed, she is vastly superior to the
Spanish feet on the coast of Cuba, but she
may leave the West Indian waters and 'ry the
Spanish home coast, where she will be able to
do much damage and create perfect panic
among those Of Spain who have property
afloat. If such is the intention of her COM
mander II cannot be long before we have ac-
counts of Spanish commercial vessels sunk.

TIE STATE LEGISLATURES meets In Albany
tomorrow, and the caucuses of the two
political parties among the members will be
held tonight. The democrats seem to be per
feclly harmonious, the spoils being all their
own; but the small band OF rural republicans,
who have no spoils of any consequence, are
deplerably discordant. The great st. Domingo
Eight that shook the massive foundations of the
party, even in its Congressional stronghold is
TO be taken up by the weak outpost of repub-
licanism at Albany, and the advantage that
might be gained as a balance Of power by a
united republican vote will consequently be
frittered away.

The War situation-A Probable Trap for
BOurbnki.

The War SituatiOn-A Probable Trap for
Bourbaki.
The operations in the open field are already
becoming circumscribed in France by reason
of the cold weather and the bad state of the
roads. In the north of France and the vosges
Mountains the winters are frequently
more severe than they are here,
and the present winter is certainly
much more severe than the mere substi-
tuts for winter that New Workers. are enjoy
ing. The mud and cold Of Virginia, so
familiar to the veterans of the Poto-
mac, are the portion of the French
and Prussian armies now making the
most important operations, outside of the
siege of Paris, in the present strategic situa-
tion Of the war. The army Of General Chauzy,
south of Paris, seems to be steadily pushing
Prince Frederick Charles back towards Paris.
Desultory fighting has recently occurred near
Vend6me, in which the French gained some
successes, and the general apathy of the Ger
mans confronting Chauzy leads to the conclu-
sion that q large portion of the army has been
withdrawn, and that the present force in his
front are merely making fent to
divert his attention while neces-
sary movement is being made else
where. In the north Manteuffel makes the
merest show of operations against Havre, and
in the east the Germans are slowly but steadily
Withdrawing before the advancing legions
from Lyons. 1t is quite probable that
sudden swoop upon the threatening Bourbaki
is intended, and while the attention of all
France is concentrated upon the bombardment
of Paris an overwhelming force may be hurled
against the column that so seriously threatens
King Williams liue of communication.
