Insult to the Flag.

NEw York, July S.-The Purser O.
the steamship Tybee, from San Domingo
has forwarded to the Secretary OF State
from the American Consul at that por
the details OF an insult 10 the American
flag. 1t seems that the Tybee, on her way
from this port to San Domingo, took OF
board as passenger at Cape Haytien Gen
Pablo Villanenya, ex-Afinister OF War
and Marine under President Gonzales, o.
San Domingo. Arriving at San Domingo
YillaneIva sent TO the Authorities ask
ing permission. TO land, but was refused
and warned II he did land that he NIGH
expect To- be arrested. Immediately af
terward Capt Ruple, Of the Tybee, wa,
ordered to put him on shore, tho Govern
ment averring he had been endeayofinG
on the Haytien frontier TO ferment a rev.
olution against the existing Republic
The Captain refused and submitted the
case 10 the American Consul, who decided
that as the General was an ordinary pay
ing passenger. and had not been on shore
he was entitled TO remain on board and
was under the protection Of the American
dag. On the 25th Of June, as the Tybet
wGsready to ssit,s an order Was received
from the Minister Of the Interior com
manding her TO remain. The American
Consul replied that he had on board a spe
cial bearer Of dispatches to his govern
ment; that the ship was properly cleared
and she would sail unless detained BY
fnrce. ThiR meRsARe WA nnheeded. See
ing an attempt was TO be made to take hil
passenger, Captain Ruple tied American
llagd to the stanchions on, both side
Of the gaugway, and all inGuders were
warned away. In a little time a field
piece was brought on the wharf, and ilftJ
soldiers, armed with rifles, tore away the
flags, went on board and despite the earn
est protest OF tho American Consul, Gen
villanenya, lame and disabled, was taken
from his state.room and carried on shore
aFd the vessel was permitted TO sail.

by railroad in regard to some Of the

TO the discrimination against producers

GEN. suERIpAN's DISPATCH.

TO W. I, Sherman, Washington:
Your dispatch .has been received. l
think 1t premature to think oi asking for
volunteer cavalry with the attendant ex-
penses. Ifthe six companies Of 22d In
iantry are given Terry he will have about
two thousand men, and Crook in few
days will have fifteen hundred men,. I
send him Merritt's eight companies Of
cavalry, four hundred strong, which will
make him over two thousand strong. We
are all right, only give US a little time. l
deeply deplore the loss Of Custar, his OIL.
GERS and men. ] fear II was an unnec-
essary sacrifice due to Misrepresentation
and superabundance Of courage, the
latter extraordinarily developed in Gus
tar. l will keep in'constant communica-
ton with Terry, and II should see the
slightest necessity Of additional mounted
men, which, unfortunately, cannot be
furnished from my meagre command l
will not hesitate 10 ask for them, and Il
Congress will give the $4,000 which /
have asked for for the past two years for
the establishing Of posts at the Tongue
river and the mouth Of the Big Horn, 1t
will be in the interest Of economy, and
will settle the Sioux question. Itshould
be remembered that the loss OF Custar
and the men with him must have been
attended by at least a corresponding loss
on the part Of the Indians.

The section in the PostofIice Appropri

grcss, is as follows:

for advertising purposes, or for free CIR,
culation, or for circulation nj n0mlnai, !

regular subscribers the time to which the
subscription therefor has been paid; and
addresses upon postal cards and unsealed
circulars may be either written, printed
or affixed thereto 1T the option Of the

From the above II ia seen that ALI
printed matter OF the third class, except
circulars unseaIed, is restotel to the old
rate. In other words, all transient news
papers, magazines, BOOKS, all printed
matter, with the exception Of circulars
unsealed, will be restored to the former
rate Of one cent for every two ounces,
while merchandise and unsealed circu.
lars will remain at the present rate.
The bill appropriates in the aggregate

upon The item OF transportation Of the
