The Surrender Of the yirsinius.

The VirgiDius has been surrendered to an Of
nicer OF the United States navy, and the sur
vivors OF her crew and passengers are supposed
10 he on board the United States steamer Juni-
alta en- route for some northern port. Official
Information that the delivery of the Virginus
mad been made by the Spanish authorities was
communicated to Secretary Fish by Admiral
foio last evening, and congratulations over the
event were exchanged. A special from Kew
west says the only spectators of the surrender
OF the Nlrglnius at Bahia Honda were the men
on the U. s: steamer Dispatch and Spanish
sioop-of- war La FayOrita and some ragged and
DIRTY Cubans in fishing smacks, apparently in
tent upon fishing alone. p unctualiy as the bells
struck for 8, and before the echo had died
away, the american flag flew to the flagstaff of
the Nirginius, and at tue same moment boat,
containing Capt. Whiting and Lieut.. Maraix,
put away from the Dispatch. As they assembled
the accom- mediation ladder, q single man
on deck, who proved to be Senior De La Ca
mara, advanced and made q courteous salute
Inc ofhcers then read their respective instruc-
tons, and Capt. De La Camara remarked that
in obedience to the requirements of his govern
ment ne had the honor to turn over the steamer
Nrginius to the American authorities. Capt.
Whiting accepted, and ascertaining recefpt
would be acceptable, gave one. a word or two
more was civilly spoken, and the Spanisrd
stepped over the side and sgnalled his oarsmen.
and In ten minutes was again upon the deck of
nis own vessel, having discharged, with becom-
ing dignity, the unpleasant dutv imposed upon
MIN by his government. The engines of the
VLginius were found to be in bad condition,
Both vessels left the harbor al D. M. the
Spanish Tag being displayed by the fort as they
passed. When supplied with provisions and
coal at the Tortugas the Virginius will probably
pe sent TO Q northern port-Ws Washington and
Norioik are mentioned among prize officers.

ner on the 2dof June, with view to raising
funds to assist in paying off the Indebtedness yet
remaining on the magnificent church Of that de-
nomination We are sure their appeal to the
liberaitv of our citizens will not be in vain. The
church itself is an ornament to the city and the
costs of its construction were expended IN our
midst. The amount that may be realized on the
occasion of the approaching entertainment Will pc
again thrown back into the channels OF trade,
after it has performed its mission, for it will be
paid out here. Then the proverbial taste of the
ladies will arrange such an attractive and lnv-
ting collection of useful and fancy articles, and
creature comforts, which added to the pleasure
ever reflected from the beaming counteaances OF
pleading women, will make the Fair ofthe "a OF
June an ocsasion of real enjoyment, apart from
the consciousness of good act performed IN
contributing to SO deserving and praiseworthy
an object.

door, luckily steps were heard in the room
of the house above, when the rascals scampered
off. One of Mr.. Wits children was sick, and its
mother had gotten UP to give it water. The noise.
doubtless made the impression that the robbers
were heard which stopped the daring enterprise.

ject which is now engaging more profound atten
ton all over the country than has ever been CIV
en- to it before, and is exciting deep interest Ill
our own State and community. there will
doubtless be a large attendance. Indeed, it is
time that an universal concern should be mani,
Tested in regard to it. When we witness almost
every day the terrible results Of intemperance,
the crimes that it incites, the youth that it IS
corrupting and running, the children that 1t IS
beggaring and the loving hearts that it is bligh-
ting and breaking, it not only becomes duty Of
the minister but of every good citizen, to put
forth his utmost efforts to check and roll back
the terrible tide of destruction that is sweeping
with such relentless fury over the land. The
first important step be taken is TO educate the
popular mind to full appreciation the evil, in
moral sense, and With this foundation, all nee
essary agencies will suggest themselves in the
devisement Of the proper methods to accomplish
a wholesome reformation. What theApeople
want is TO have their minds Impressed with the
importance Of some restraining instrumentalities,
and this conviction once effected the means to be
employed will not be wanting.
