SpAIN.-The Carlists have won another im-
portaut victory over the Republican forces, de-
featiug two columns of troops, marching to the
relief of Olet.
1t is reported that Marshal Serrauo has de-
cided to convoke the Cortes in consequence of a
communication from the European Powers in-
timating that recognition of the present gov
ernment will be thereby facilitated.
The London Post reports the German Gov
eminent actively engaged 10 negotiations aim
ing at the suppression of the Carlist iusurrec
ton. 1t has exchanged opinions with the Rus
sian Government, but the Gar is opposed to
intervention. Germany is now trying to bring
about concurrence of the great Powers in re-
coguition of the Spanish Republic
The Cologne Gazette says Prince Hobelohe,
German Ambassador at Paris, has unoficially
informed DeCazes that if France fails to act
stringently against the Carlists, a German
squadron will be sent to the Spanish coast, and
Germany is resolved to take measures against
the Carlists.
The Madrid papers state that the Spanish
Government has sent strongly worded note to
Versailles. on the subject of Carlist violations
of the frontiers.

COMMUNICATED,


What are we coming to In the year of our
Lord 1874, within two years of the centennial
of American Independence, three men 10 the
city of Richmond, the Capital of the Old Do
ninion, which gave birth to Henry, Washing
ton, Mason, Jefferson and Madison, thvse
grand old champions of the rights of man,
these three men. We say, issue their ukuse to
the hundred and odd thousand white treemen
of Virginia, by which they threaten them with
evils dire, should they dare to cast their ballots
for any candidates for office that they do not
approve. Yea, mure the Hon. Thos. White
head, Of the Amherst District, having announc-
ed himself in published card, a candidate for
denomination, aud declared his purpose Of ad-
dressing the people OF his district to satisfy
them that he would worthily represent theu,
the ire of this terrible triumYirate is awtuIly
aroused, and its dreadful anathemas are thun-
dercd in Mr.. Whitehead's ears What must
have been his relief. when, with visions Of the
gulllotine, or some other horrid instrument of
torture or death, dancing before his heated
brain, he hears lssuing from this trowning tri-
bunal, in gentle accents, whispering safety to
obedience" Well might be have exclaimed
in the language of Mr.. Webster, II still live. I"
Frcemen of Virginia, note the language, en-
force obedience. But if they can't bind, they
eau uuloose So they proceed to aLsolre all
other aspirauts in Mr. Whltehead's district
from obedience to their edict and thus give
the people an opportunity of learning who is
the most suitable man to represent them, IN
the honored mode practiscd by our fathers. As
was said by one of old, so we may say to this
Richmond Trio Truly ye are the people, and
wisdom will die with you.
We are accustomed, in these days, to hear
great deal about usupatlon and centrazaton
and the great danger to American liberty from
thu Sc. But this danger can never come, until
the people yield their blood, bought rights to
the keeping Of few, whom they may blind
ly follow whithersoever they lead. This Is
the great dagger Of the times, when through
party organizations power is stealing from
the macy to the few, and contrivaDces plausi
bly, resorted to 10 the name of the people, are
drxterousy perverted to defeat their will. 1t
is to be hoped that Virgiuians still "know their
rights, and knowing, dare maintain them"
