proper quarters, that negotiations
between the United States and spain
on questions growing out of the Vir-
giuius ak;,ir and other matters Of con-
trUversy between the two countries
IRE not progressing favorably. That
this condition Of affairs is fully appre-
ciated by both governments is clearly
shown ly the fi,ct that Spain is con-
centrating large force ut w:.r vessels
in the West Indies, and is also pre-
pairing to reinforce her army il Cuba
and this govern,m'ht hts decided not
to send any more vessels of war to
foreign stations, except the Brooklyn
to the South Atlantic station. Besides
this, it il intended to keep all IRON

devious in the gulf il readiness for

From the Presidents Louisiana Message. !
''l4isutsnsnt- General Sheridan was
requested BY u,o - ~ to Louisiana
t0 observe and report the situation
there, and, II ID his opinion necessary,
to assume the command, which, he
did on the 4th inst, after tllo legisla-
tive disturbances had Occurred-.at
o'clock p. Ma number VI hours after
the disturbance. No party motives
or prejudices cat, reasonably be i'm
putSd to him.; bat, honestly convinced
by What he l,as seen aud heard there,
he has characterized the lenders of the
White Lexguers IN severe terms, and
suggested summary modes Of proceed
ure against them, which, though they
can not be adopted, would, If legal,
soon put an end to the troubles aud
disorders in that State. General SHEER
idan was looking 1T facts, snd l,ossi-
bly, not thinking Of proceedings which,
would bS the only proper ones to pur-
sue In time Of peace, and thought
more Of the utterly lawless condition
Of society surrounding him ut the
time Of his dispatch, and Of what
would prove sure remedy. He never
proposed to do an illegal act, nor ex-
pressed . determination to proceed
beyond what the law in the future
might authorize for the punishment
Of the atrocities which have been
committed, and the commission Of
which can not be denied. It is de-
plorablc fact that political crimes and
murder have been committed il Louis
lana which have gone unpublished, and
which have been justified or apollo
gised for, which must rest as re-
pr"ach until the State and country
long after the present generation has
passed away"

Gen. Sheridan is = kind. hearted M.

Is soldier also, and does not hesitate
to do his duty. If he thought it nee

be no more regarded than an Indian
village; he would not hesitate to level
it. That is the kind Of a man Sheri-
