il becomes q serious question as to how
the vast multitude OF enthusiastic DEM

ing like it was ever before witnessed

the Radical party in West Virginia will
be buried beneath such a Democratic
majority as will ior ever still its voice

According 10 the Panama Sdr and

nounced his intention to bombard the
Peruvian capital, and notified the for

oil foreigners and the women and chill
dren to leave the city prior TO opening

made every endeavor to place the cit,
in state of defense. and to that efi-c,

The city, however. Was in nc
condition to Withstand . siege. and
probably ere this Il has fallen into the

bill was introduced iutn the House u
Lords, yesterday, and its secoad reading
set for Monday next. Admiral RemouI

Russian paper gives an insight into one
Of the government prisons Of that coun
