| Especial Correspondence OF the Republican,

| Yesterday morning, about two O'Clock,
most of the cavalry, under command OF
Captain Snow and Lieutenant Vankirk,
! with Assistant Marshal Stockton in COM

petent guide for point on the notorious
Sicily island, where, it was reported quite
a number of refugees had camped. expect

| of law officers. The boys went off III ex-
ceilent spirits, although they were told that
| they would certainly not capture any of the
| refugees. II was stated that messengers
| had gone off 10 the camp III double quick
| as soon as the Ozark arrived here. This
was abundaDtly proven, as they were con-

| men was found at Captain Peck's house.
where ho was halted and held for few
| hours to prevent him executing his mission
An attempt will probably be made to make
| capital out Of this detention, but it must
prove abo-tive.
The militia then proceeded to seour the
country, ranging around in all directions,
invading the very island set up as inpreg
nable to an army, following bad men into
the place, which is natural fort and hid
ing resort. For many years this island has
served ~ a cover for deeperadoes and muir
derers, and probably no law officer ever
before invaded its precincts. However, no
| arrests were made, and the men returned,
having Travelled through some of the wild

| hills and through deep valleys. picturesque
beyond anything they ever witnessed be-
fore. The militiamen were quite enthusias-
tic in their descriptions of the country.
No particle of information could be OBJ
tanned from the few old men and boys who
were hanging around, mouths and ears
wide open. TINS old men were not only
unwilling to render assistance, but, like
some city politicians, were ready to fight
the Confederate war over again, although
they never took a musket during the con-
test. Most of the people are still bitter,
dissatisfied and grumble at everything.

peace conservators, provided they can per

Governor Kellogg's Views of Vigilance
Committees.

The following letteris sufficiently explicit
to show that Governor Kellogg has no
sympathy with any party acting outside of
the law
STATE LOUISIANA }

New Orleans, November 10. 1878.
George W. Hidspeth, Esq, District Attorney
Eighth Judicial district:
Sill have Just received your communi-
cation Of the fifth instant informing me
that a vigilance committee in your parish
have proceeded, without judge or jury, to
try and afterwards TO arrest and hang two
of your citizens under pretext that ehey
have my sanction for such proceedings and
you ask me if this be the case.
In reply have to say that no self-const
tuted committee. acting outside of the law
has had or will receive any sanction or sup
port to act in the punishment OF crime
other than III aid of the legally constituted
civil authorities. Where the civil authori-
ties stand in need OF the aid of citizens to
enable them to arrest and punish criminals
hope they will promptly receive it; and
trust that the civil authorities will be
vigilant in arrestlDg. trying and Furnishing,
without tear or favor, any and all who viu-
late the law or illegally interfere with the
rights of any citizen. 1t is to these authori-
ties We must look for the enforcement of
INV, olhef"lse lnefe Is no fe5ponsiblnYy and
no safety.
If the civil officers will do their whole
duty and the well disposed citizens will
faithfully GO operate with them, crime can
De suppressed, good order maintained and
the rights of all citizens protected. This
once attained, one great obstacle to the
prosperity Of or State will he removed,
aud we can reasonably look for that influx
of foreign capital and labor which the geo
graphical position and natural resources of
Louisiana should command.
am glad to learn from YOUR letter that
ia your parish the civil officers are amply
able to enforce the law against any indlyi-
dual or combination.

that the Virginius and crew arc to DC
given up as agreed upon by protocol,
ard it appears now that we shall have no
war.
Dispatches from Havana via Key
West state that the feeling on the ques.
ton of the delivery Of the Virginius has
undergone considerable change since FRI
day, Many Spauiards are now in favor
of an Immediate quiet delivery of the
vessel to the United States authorities, as
contrary course would place them in op-
en- rebellion against the government OF
Spain. The leading officers Of the volun-
teers held meeting Saturday morning,
at tho residence Of Senior Zuoluta, resi-
dent of the Casino Esponol, who subse-
quently informed an American gentleman
that the Virginius would be delivered
quietly. 1t is reported that Senior Zuelu-
ia has received a telegraphic dispatch
from Senior Calvo, the representative at
Madrid Of the Casino E'panol, counsel
ling the delivery Of the Virginius, and
saying that Spain will atterward claim
100000, 900 damages from the govern
ment Of the United States.

American consulate is quietly guarded by
troops, and that an attempt was ma &c,
last Thursday night, to burn the Virgin.
