Coast: Namc changed: Saunders Prai
rie, Lewis Co., W. T., to Chehalis,
and John L. Knowland appointed Post

The q. S. Court yesterday examined
Capt. Whiting. to whom the virginius
was delivered at Bahia Honda; Lieut..
Mark, who commanded her on her
passage from Bahia Honda, and Engin-
eer Harris, who inspected her at the lat
ter place. The object of the investiga-
ton was to ascertain tho cause of the
sinking of that vessel.
Capt. Whiting testified that when he
took charge of the steamer there was no
appearance of any leak, and that he
considered her in condition to make the
voyage to New York in fair weather.
Ensign Calhoun, who WAS on board
the virginius, testified that considerable
exertion was necessary to keep the ves-
sci clear of water from her start from
the Tortugas. On Dec. 23d she signall-
ed the Ossipee, "Can go no further
North than the Dock at Chsrlestown."
The Ossipes replied, 1--WE are bound
for Charleston" On Dec. Oath the
Chief Engineer of the Ossipoe went on
board the Virginius to inspect the boil
ers. the crown sheet of the after boiler
having collapsed. On the same day the
Ossipee signalled, 1--WE will proceed up
the Coast" Her course was then
changed to Northeast. The remainder
of the testimony confirms the recent
press dispatches.
MArrAMoRAs. Jan. 1.-THE forces of
Gen. Zspeda, the deposed Governor of
Coahuila, have again been defeated by
the troops supporting the Legislature
and Governor Silas. The action took
place near the capital of the State, and
although it was a severe action was not
decisive. Both parties are still in the
field and the General Government has
appointed a provisional Governor for
the Sta until the now election can be
held. 1t is supposed that Gen. Fleury,
who is in command of about 1000 Fed
eral troops ard 1000 National Guards
will be able to prevent further hostiiities
between the followers of Gen. Zepeda
and Governor Silas.
Gen. Escobeda, Governor of San Luis
Potosi, has been relieved. Manuel
Muero has taken charge as Provisional
Governor. It is said that Escobedo
leaves Office to attend to private bust
ness, but want of accord between him
and the General Government is perhaps
the real reason.
LONDON, Jan. PA special from
Madrid to the Times says that Domin-
CUES, the commander of the forces be-
sieging Cartagena, telegraphed that he

and that he has surrounded other forts

kilograms te the Standard from VAL
encia, Cartagena, give the rumor that
another magazine exploded within the
walls on Saturday and that 200 persons
were killed. It is expected that the cap
ture of Atlaya Castle will lead to a
speedy capitulation.

cite passions of people to commit acts
Of violence and we regard such men as
worst enemies to trade organizations
tending to bring working men into dis
repute. We condemn actions of Police
Commissioners in denying right Of
working men to parade in any part OF
the City and believe they are actuated
by fears as they keep psace st City Hall
as well as Canal street. We condemn
