"Snow falls will be very universal this

America, but across to Europe. The
snowfall Of the 18th was marked in
this respect" His predictions for De.
cember are as follows: "December
will, in all probability, open with little
snow, but the weather will be cloudy,
threatening snow falls. During the
opening days Of the month dust, with
the very light mixture of snow which
may have fallen, will be swept in fur.

probably be some snow from about the
4th OF the month. With the second

A terrible Disaster TO a Passenger
steamer.

THE FRENCH STEAMER oNCLE JOSEPH col.
LIDEs WITH THE oRTIGIA, NEAR sPEZZIA,
AND 0oEs DOWN.
LEGuoRN, November 24.-The steamer
Ortigia came in collision this morning
with the French steamer Oncle Joseph
near Spezzia. The Oacie Joseph was so
much injured that she soon sank. She
had 800 persons on board, only about so
of whom were saved. The Ortigia has
arrived at Leghorn, having also been
severely damaged, and an inquiry has
been opened.
Spezzia, near which this terrible dis.
aster occurred, is a town of 1900 pop.
ulation on the northeast shore of the
Grecian islandof the same name, which
has an aggregate population of about
5000 on an area OF twenty.six square
miles, and lies off the south coast of the
Government of Argolis, at the entrance
of the Gulf of Nauplia, ten miles west
southwest of Hydra. Spezzia is noted
for the salubrity of its climate and the
beauty OF its women. The inhabitants
are chiefly devoted to commerce and
navigation.

The Irish Land League.
II. l.. WILLIAMS, Secretary.

Dublin Correspondence New York Herald.
Whatever may be the general opinion
OF the world regarding the methods of
the Land League, it must be recogniz
Ell that the organization is now re.
markatly strong one. When Mr.. Par
nell was in America last winter there
were only thirty branches of the League
in Ireland, and they were very weak.
There are now fully 500 and in each
about 200 paying members are enrolled,
making altogether 100000 paying re-
cruits under its flag. OF course, there
are as many more who cannot pay.
These, with capital on hand and the
money which still comes in from Amer
lea, enable tho organizers to "spread the
light" in every direction and to keep
u bright and we'll trimmed. The Irish
National Land League was formed for
the following objects: First, to put an
end to rack renting, eviction and land
lord oppression second, to effect such
rad cal change I'M the land system of
Ireland as will put 1t in the power of
every Irish farmer to become the owner
Oh fair terms OF the land he tills. The
means proposed to effect these objects
are: ]. Organization among the people
and tenant farmers for purposes of self.
defence, and inculcating the absolute
necessity OF their refusing to take any
farm from which another may be evict.
ed, or from purchasing any cattle or
goodF which may be seized on for non.

has been several times alluded to, is
concerned, it is understood that the
President has been, Informed of his
purpose to that effect. At the cabinet
meeting on last Friday the subject of q
successor to Justice Strong was consid-
cred. The propriety of making the
appointment from the South was con.
ceded, and quite a number of names
were suggested and discussed without
reaching a conclusion. The difficulty
seems to be in fixing upon an available
man from that section of sufficient at.
tainments and reputation, who would
be regarded as truly representative
man.
MILITARY MATTERS.
Gen. Miles arrived to-day, and the
contest over the appointment of chief
signal officer has broken out afresh.
Both Mr.. Hayes and Gen. Garfield are
strongly in favor of the appointment of
Gen. Hazen. The friends of General
IIazen think that both together they
ought to have preponderating influence
with the present administration. They
say that Hazen will be appointed signal
officer, Gen. Ord will be retired and
Miles given Ord's place. This would
perhaps be satisfactory to everybody
but Ord. Although past the age of re.
tirement, he does not wish to retire.
Gen. Sherman thinks that, as General
Mcdowell is older than Gen. ord, the
latter should not be retired unless Gen.
Mcdowell is. The disinclinaton of
army officers to quit active service and
go on the retired list occasions much
unfavorable comment in army circles,
especially among those who are ambi.
tious to reach the fat places themselves.
THE NEW MAIL.
The new fast mail schedule of fifty
hours between New York and New Or.
leans is giving great satisfaction. TO.
day it reached here from New York on
time, giving us the New York and Phila-
delphia newspapers at Il 4. NJ. This
service bids fair to be very useful and
popular, and will have a tendency to
wake up southern sentiment in favor OF
improved postal facilities.
CONGRESS.
Although the opening of the session
is near at hand but few members of
either house have yet put in an appear
ance. Not more than twenty or thirty
are in town and these are members of
committees which meet before the ses.
sion opens. There is but little talk as
TO the nature of the session. Aside
from the regular appropriation bills not
much will be attempted except the ap.
portiOnment Of the number Of members
of Congress under the late census to the
different States. The act that will be
introduced for this purpose will likely
provoke considerable debate, which may
run into hot par,isanship, as some of
the more stalwart of the radicals would
rather have action on this matter put
off until the next Congress in the hope
that they will be able to gain party
advantage when they come together
with a majority on their side. FELIX.
