SAN Francisco, November "a lei
ter to the Chronicle, from Samoan cor
respondent, gives another version Of the
recent events there. Seals Griffin, the
American consul, took forcible possession
Of the property of G. ]. Smith & Co., a
British firm at Mulaula, for IN alleged
American claim, without having first
sent the claim through the British con-
sui, as is the custom. In the absence Of
legal system in the islands, the repre-
sentatives Of Smith & Co. regained pos
session Of the warehouse and the property
was put under British seal. Pending a
settlement Of the matter, Griffin tried to
get the natives to attack the warehouse,
but they declined because he conld not
raise $4,000, which they demanded for
the enterprise. A Committee Of Safety
has been organized 10 preserve the peace.

Crop IIcnort for October.

SAVANNAH, November 0.-The crop
report for October is as follows: Georgia
SIS replies from So counties; weather the
past month has been favorable, not so ia
vorable however as last year. Some Sec
tions have been visited by heavy and
frequent rains. In most OF the northern
sections there have been light frosts, no
damage. Three-fourths Of the crop is
picked, and picking is over generally by
the first OF December. On the light san
dy uplands drought and rust have done
their work very eflectnally and there will
be very small yield from these lands
realized, but on the bottom lands the yield
has been greater than last year, due en-
tirely to the late fall. The out.turn OF
the State, however, is set down at 8 TO 6
per cent less than last year and the quail
ity much below the average.
Thirty replies from IA counties in
Florida are received. The weather has
not been as favorable as last year for
gathering, There were very heavy and
continued rains throughout the fall, but
no frost. Two.thirds Of the crop is gath
cred and the picking will be over by the
frat OF December. Portions Of the State
have suffered from ruSt and caterpillars,
and there is general complaint over the
rotting Of the bolls from too much wet
weather, and not only is the quantity cut
oil, but the quality has been injured. The
yield Of the State Is estimated from s TO
10 per cent less than last year.
In Virginia and North Carolina the
character OF the weather, since October
lst, has been generally favorable with a
complaint in some places OF too much
rain during the latter part Of the month.
There was no frost Of any consequence.
A light frost was experienced, being
rather beneficial than otherwise. About
half OF the crop is picked, and picking
will cease about the lst OF December. Il
ia reported that the yield will be an ay.
erage OF about ten per cent less than last
year.
South Carolina, 70 replies covering %
counties, 81 report weather favorable,

Of the month favorable, report unfa.
yorable compared 10 last year, 81 say
more favorable, IS the same and "a less
favorable. There has been light irosts
throughout the State except In n few
Of the lower counties, but little or no
damage has been done; 81 counties re.
port from two-thirds to three-fourths Of
the crop gathered, and one county one.
third gathered. With good weather pick.
ing will be finished from the 10Th 10 the
3Oth ot November, except in six counties
were il will be later, say December 10th
to Goth.
Compared 10 last year two counties
report an increase in the yield from 8 10
l2 per cent, and 90 counties decrease OF
l0to 40. The average Of the State shows
falling of oil to l3.4O per cent. The de-
crease in the yield is attributed to the
drought in August. Owing to the late
seasons there is very little stained cotton.

WEST VIRGINIA MAIDENs CALLING
UpoN THE PREHDEET.-The young ladies
Of Lutherville Female Seminary, Balti-
more county, Nd, recently visited Wasll-

gave them a cordial reception. There
were thirty Of them, representing three
different States Of the Union, West Vir-

GALVESTON, TEXAS, November 0.-The
NetU3 San ARtonia special says: Infor-
nation has been received here that on
the 10Th Of October party of Mexicans,
eighty.seven innumber, under command
Of Don Narcisco Auago, of San Carlos,
Mexico, had a battle in Texas, near
the Guadalupe Mountains, with party
Of Indians who had been depredating in
Mexico, near chihuahua, killing six
bucks and capturing six squaws, and GS
head Of stock which were stolen from
the people living near San Diego, Mexi-

from the United States government. The

The SteubcnvilIe GG=cite (Dcm.) com.
ments upon the late elections as follows:
"Upon the whole we like the returns
from yesterdays elections better by far
than il the Democrats had succeeded by
immense majorities rather than by small
mnjorities. They prove that where the
currency issue is put squarely before the
people as il was in Ohio, the Democrats
are more successful than where they sell
themselves TO the National bankers. A
Democratic loss in New York is as sug.
gestive as Democratic gain in Ohio"
We call this, as book.kcepers would
say, "forcing a balance. The GaseRe must
be quite obliVious or reckless of the facts
TO make such statement. When, how.
ever, man is sick to death with the
greenback fever he is probably afflicted
with snth moral obliQuity Of vision as
prevents him seeing facts and figures as
they actually exist.
II the Ga:etIe will carefully scan the
election returns OF Tuesday last it will
perceive that the most decided gains
made anywhere, by Republicans or Dem.
Ocrats,were made in Massachusetts, where
the financial issue was put in the most
nnmistakable terms by the Republicans.
For fear the GasttIe may not have read
the financial plank in The Massachusetts ia
platform, we subjoin il right here for ils
information, as follows:
Resolred, That the faith Of the nation

and private interest alike demand the

he was told by Col. Mcleod that he was

Sitting Bull made an eloquent re.

but for our rights as the first people on

into war and then seek to punish us for
fighting. That is not honest. The Queen
wouldn't do that.
After thanking the Queen, he said ::
Tell her that l will be good man; that
my people will be good. l will take my

FOREIGN NEWS.
WAR NOTES.


CALCUTTA, November 9.-The Mussul.
men OF the country are much excited
at the news Of Russian victories.
LONDON, November "a dispatch
from Pera says GhaEi Mukhtar pasha
reports under date Of November 9th, that
he still hopes 10 be able TO hold Erzeroum,
He has plenty Of artillery and ammuni-
tion and large reinforcements are on their
way to him.
LONDON, November 9.-The conyiction
is strong that Pleyna can't hold out many
days. OSman Palha's men are desertiuE
in large numbers on account OF priya-
tions and hardships. The Russians have
q field telegraph line completed around
Pleyna, 80 they can concentrate on any
point attacked.
MuKHTAR PAsHA's TELEGRAM.
CoNsrANr1NorIE, November 9.--The
following telegram has been received
from Mukhtar Pasha:
ERzzRouM, November 9.-NooS.
AT A o'clock this morning the Russians
attacked our fortified position at Azizie
Our troops, fighting with great yalor, re-
pulsed them and pursued them for about
five miles from Erzeroum. The Russians
were totally defeated. Our trenches are
filled with their dead.
Earlier advices received here (Con-
stantlnople) show that before this success
the situation ut Erzeroum was very crit
ical. The inhabitants demanded that the
authorities should capitulate, the ex.
pected reiniorcements not having arrived,
as communications with TrebiZond were
difficult. It ia expected that combined
operations will be attempted by Osman
Mehemet Ali and Cheiyket Pashas, on
which the fate Of PlevHa will depend.
The Porte has determined to fight to the
bitter end. Mahmoned Damad Pasha Ia
still Ill.
REPuLsED.
A Vienna special from Bucharest says
the Russians have begun new bridge at
sistova. The Turks yesterday attempted
to land near Olternitza, but were re.
pulsed with great loss.
THE BATTLE AT ERzERouM.

detailed reports Of Fridays battle near
Erzeroum show that the fighting lasted
eleven hours. Two Russian columns at

pying the block house, but was dislodged;
the other column perceiying the enor-
nous loss OF the former retreated. The
Turks pursued them as for as Dene
Boyun and were driven back from there.
They rallied and drove the Russians
back again 10 Dene Boyuu. The Rus
SLAMS lost large quantity Of arms, but
only few prisoners,
THREATENED RISING IN TURKEY.
LONDON, November 9.-There is great
uneasiness In Pera. Placards have been
posted in Stamboul summoning all pa.
triots TO rise, as the government was
secretly negotiating with the Russians.
The placards also urged the murder OF |
Mahomoned Dahmad Pasha. Attempts |
have been made to fasten the respon.
sibility Of posting up these placards
on ex.Sultan Murad, whose principal |
attendants have been arrested and sac.
cording to one account killed.
It is credilably asserted that the Dab.

Sevcrcst Storm OF The Season.

CHICAGO. November 9.-Last night the
storm on the lake was the severest ex.
perienced this season, and the boat
houses belonging to the clubs here, which
have withstood previous storms, were
beaten TO pieces by the waves. The Ill.
inois Central track was torn up for some
distance along the lake and Is not yet
passable. fortunately most Of the sailing
vessels were in the harbor, having been
driven in by previous accidents. The
few that were outside were roughly used
by the wind and waves, and one small
craft went 10 pieces on the shore.

TuE dispatches this morning state that
the House Committee on Postal Service
have determined 10 recommend the pay
mcnt Of the Southern mail contractors up
to the 3lst Of May, 1861, the time when
they either took uparms and went into
the rebellion, or else became the allies,
aiders and abettors Of those who actually
did. AtIirst thought it seems unnatural,
and unjust that these men should be paid
and yct when We TeColleCt that under
both the spirit and letter OF our lava
treason works no attainder, and when
VIZ further recollect that no man
has had his property conEiscatcd since
the close Of the war on account OF COM
pIIcity with the rebellion, we can really
see no ground oi successful resistance to
the payment Of these claims. The service
was actually rendered up to the time
nam?d, and this service is, under tie
policy OF forbearance against the proper
ty and persons OF those engaged in the
rebellion, AN irresistible claim on the
treasury.
Still, while this is the conceded status
Of these unpaid mail claims, yet the ac-
tion OF the committee will arouse no lit
tie feeling at tue North, because it will
ba looked upon as the entering wedge to
further and still more radical legislation
in the same direction. The apprehension
Of such legislation was freely expressed
in the Presidential canvass last year, and
the point was made with great force that
ii the allied Northern and Southern De.
mocracy should gain power that We
should shouldsee all sorts Of rebel raids
on the treasury. For Our part, while we
do not contend against the payment Of
these mail claims, antedating the war as
they do, yet we feel thunkful;thatthere iB a
Republican Senate and Pres ident in

to put on the brakes as regards the man.

look sympathetically on claims OF
