Comments of the Press OF Havana

From the Diario de Ia Marina, Nov. 81
The notice Of the capture Of the virginius and
the arraignment OF the prisoners before naval
tribunal will doubtless rejoice the heart OF every
loyal citizen, since the Vrginius Is the first pirate
vessel that has fallen into the hands Of our brave
sailors. The nlbusters have been taken to San
tiago de Cfba. where they have been put on trial.
The crime OF piracy Is that which is most antag-
onistic to the laws Of all civilized peoples. We pre-
sumo that among those captured are Santa Rosa,
the American, Ryan, and several others who were
mentioned in the letters OF our correspondent in
New York, which have already been before our
readers. There will be many notices touch
ing this very important item OF success, which
we shall publish without the least delay To-day,
however, we shall content ourselves by rendering
our acknowledgements to the commander OF the
frigate Tornado Senior Don Dionisio Costello. We
have neither the time nor space to enter iully
into the consideration Of the capture OF the VIZ
cupy our columns, but we cannot conclude with
out ardently felicitating the Spanish navy, and In

REsIGNED.-On Saturday last, Rev. j. O.
McOAbe, ID. D., Pastor Of st. AIMS p. L. Church
of this place, rendered to the parish vestry his
resignation as rector Of said parish, which at
a meeting of the vestrv held Monday after
noon was accepted to take effect OH the 1st Of
October next. We are not informed as to the
particular field the Rev. DR.. expects to labor
in IN the future, but, go where he may, he
will ever carry with him tho best wishes OF his
many friends here.
PURCHASE OF A NswsPAPER.-Mr Reynolds. Of
the Transcript, together with MIR. Q. ii. Wander
ford formerly OF the same paper, have purchas-
ed papersat Harrissonville, Va. The sIrdns-
GriDt we understand, is for sale, il a suitable
purchaser can be found, ,ln which event Mr.. Rey-
nolds will remove TO Harrissonvllle and devote
his entire attention to the management of the
new enterprise.
FIRE.-0n Saturday afternoon, the barn aud
stabling of John Wroth, in Sassafras Neck, Md,
was;destroyed by fire together with what prov
ender they contained. The fire is supposed to
be the work Of an incendiaiy, and suspicion
points to colored boy with whom Mr.. Wroth
had some difficulty short time ago. We hear
there was no insurance.
WISTRY WEATHER-A winter visitor in the
shape of snow and hail put in an appearance
here this morning, about o'clock 1t came
down quite thick and fast for little while but
soon passed away. The weather is cold aud
disagreeable, and the Spring, is so far very
backward one, in consequence OF which both
formers and gardeners are very much behind
with their work.
ABOUT FIRE APPARATUS Our City Fathers
have not yet decided what kind of fire apparatus
to purchase for the town. There appears to be
considerable difference of opinion among our
citizens as to what is best suited to our want.
Some favor the small extinguisher-Babcock5
patent-while others, and probably a majority,
favor the Babcock engine. 1t Is to be hoped
that some decision wlii have been reached in
time, at least for the next fire.
