NEW YORK.
The viyginfus Outrage.

NEW oRK, Nov l4.-The newsp2-
pers generally deprecate rash action on
the part of our Government in the Vir-
ginlus affair, but still urge the most en-
ergetic and upfinching policy in the
matter. 1t is thought that if as has
been asserted, the Virginius proves to
have been captured in English waters,
an entirely new and unlocked for aspect
is put on the case, which may then
warrant the interference OF Britain.
1t is now stated here that among the
passengers and crew OF the Virginius
were many American and English as
well as Cubans.
The Junata will be ready for sea to-
morrow. 1t s mi-officIally stated
to-day that the demands made upon The
Spanish government by the United
States were OF such a nature that it
would be impossible for the former
government to accept them and that the
inevitable result will be rupture be-
tween the two powers. This statement
was at once felt at the Stock Exchange
and Gold Room. At the produce ex.
change also there was much excitement,
the advance in grain and -four being
rapid. Flour rose twenty-five cents
per bbl., wheat four cents per bushe!
and corL cents per bushel.
1t is said the leaders Of the col0red
people OF this city and Brooklyn, in
tend 10 form an organization for the
purpose of assisting the slaves in Cuba to
secure their freedom, believing the late
massacre of those OF the Virginius has
opened way for the acceptance OF
their serviQes. 1t is said they will pres
sent an address 20 Mayor Hayeme7er
on the subject, esrly next week.
Great excitement was caused to-day |
by the reception OF private dispatch |
from Jamaica reporting the execution |
OF the remainder Of the passengers and |
crew of the Virginius by Spanish Of
fcials at Santiago De Cuba, and in
tense anxiety is manifested 10 hear fur |
ther details. The late massacre has
added to the popular feeling OF indigna-
ton and causes general expression OF
bitter hatred against the Spanish b0toh~ |
ers.
A special dispatch TO the Graphic
from Washington says that among the
rumors respecting the imbroglio with |
Spain, is one 10 the effect that Presl-
dent CASTELAR, ana General Sickles bad !
already agreed upon q plan to practl-
cally render Cuba free, and that
CASTELAR,, who is an anti~slavery man,
is really anxious to get rid OF Cubs,
but dares not openly surrender the |
Island, as it would upset mis- own gov
erument aud seriously injure the Re.
publican cause in Europe lie is not
unwilling that the United States should
seize Cuba provided it will abolish
slavery.

from Walter Stuart, Of Richmond, Va,
