CAPTURE OFTHE VIRGINIUs.

There is quite stir about Cuba, at
Washington, and much excitement in
New York and elsewhere in this country,
as we'll as great indignation felt in Lon
don, over the capture, on Friday, Oct.
3lst, by party of Spanish volunteers
on board the Spanish gun-boat "Torna-
do" of the "Virginius,' ON board of
which it seems were some adventures
in the interests of the Cuban insurgents.
The vessel was carrying the American
flag and is reported to be an American
vessel. The latest reports state that she
was captured in British waters, although
as yet it does not appear certain. Fifty
four of the passengers and crew were
court-martialed-tried as pirates-and
shot at Santiago de Cuba, where they
were taken as soon as captured. Advice
from the American Consul-General at
Havana show that the protest of our
Yice-Consul against the murder of the
crew and passengers, was treated with
discourtesy, and that he was insulted by
the Spanish authorities. There are ru-
mors of war, and our government is get
ting gun-boats ready and making prepar-
ations to fight if necessary. The status
of the Virginius will be first ascertained
and if she prove to be an American yes.
sci, captured on the high seas, either
with or without American citizens or
board, she will be defended to the last
and reclamation made on Spain. If sh'

the poor man whose only dependence was
his few acres of cotton, finds no market
except at ruinous prices, which necessity

gar factories are rapidly closing, and the
thousands of employees who have barely
subsisted on their scant earnings must
have help now or suffer for food
When the war began in 1861 many
wise ones predicted as one of the results
to come from it, the gradual abolition of
extravaganza in dress and living; be-
lieving people would be so humbled by
suffering, they would turn their thoughts
to better things; but the contrary has
proved the result. Money was plenty in
the North, and it was freely spent. In
the South so much hardship was endured
that when the people again had access
to luxuries of dress and table that are
brought from the northern cities, they
plunged headlong into the same excuses
the people of the North indulge in SO

spend less than small competence on
dress every year. and the arrangements
of the house must correspond in elegance.

money freely it is hard to practice econ

been done on an inflated reputation with

THE SCARE.

The scare that for the last four weeks
has paralyzed business throughout the
country is still felt in all our manufac-
turing and commercial centers, and lit
tie is being done more than is absolute
" necessary. Few failures have occur
red of late, but the suspension of the
Spragues, the great manufacturers of
Rhode Island, although their assets are
many millions more than their liabilities,
show how hard it now is, even by those
who are wealthy, to raise funds to meet
outstanding bills. The scare has result
ed in the withdrawal of many millions
of dollars from the banks, and from the
hands of borrowers, to be shut up In the
safes and pockets of those who are able
to hoard it, and make it entirely useless
so far as the business of the country is
concerned. How long this fright and
stringency will continue nobody knows
but it would be unsafe to predict much
better times for month or two at least.
Most merchants, manufacturers and 9TH
er business men run their stock as low
as possible, consistent with the wants of
trade the last of the year, and will do so
for two reasons this year; the want of
money to carry heavy stocks, and de-
sire to know their own standing. 1t is
said that we do not feel the effect of the
panic in the country as it is felt in the
cities, and large manufacturing places
Our produce is required to feed the nom
producing sections, and if they stop work
in these places, they must still be fed,
and our butter, cheese, hay, grain and
potatoes, will be called for at fair prices.
In the meantime we shall be obliged to
extend to our creditors at home the
greatest leniency, while we strive to meet
our obligations as fast and as we'll as
possible. No man that has means should
refuse to pay his small bills or his debts
for it is extremely hard for our mer
chants, our lumbermen and our manu-
facturers, to get along and keep business
alive, much less to make it brisk. There
has not been time for years when Their,
was so great need of the exercise of rigi(
economy as the present, and nobod,
ought to pay out dollar for anything
that does not minister to his necessities
While the present scarcity Of money i
bringing distress in cities, and great in
convenience among us, there are man,
things that are encouraging in the flu
ture outlook, and if we do not die O
fright, we shall see in the early sprin
brighter prospect. Capital is worth
less unless employed; the great indus
tries of the country must be carried OF
The people will be fed and clothed. an
the will and energy of the America
will not allow him to sit in idleness fc
any great length of time, so that fe'
months, at least, will witness the wheel
of business again in lively motion.

Congress can do much to alleviate the
grievous privations of the people, and is
expected to do it, and at once. The cry
that bankruptcy is universal is disprov-
ed on all hands. The country never was
richer, but those who make the riches of
the country are poor. Millions are
boarded by men who are undoubtedly
waiting to prey upon the needy. Great
enterprises are impeded, misfortunes in
creased, if not originated, by the dis
trust and selfshness of those who refuse
to relieve others At such moment,
we hold it to be the duty of Congress to
act. This people have supported the
Government by their taxes IN peace and
by their blood in war, and now this peo-
pie have right to look to their Govern
ment for assistance 1t is case of SUI
preme urgency, and the party that saves
the sufferer the soonest will be rewarded
