THE CRETAN TROUBLE.

King George OF Greece waited until
the time limit given him by the powers
had nearly expired before he announc-
ed his reply to the identical notes de-
handing the withdrawal of the Greek
land and water forces from Crete. The
reply is conciliatory in tone, fully re-
cognizing the important objects the
powers have in view, and offering to
withdraw the Greek fleet from Cretan
waters. Greece, however, points to
the fact that it is impossible for her TO
withdraw her troops from that island,
in view of the danger Of further massa-
ores. On the other hand, she offers to
place her troops in Crete under the
control of the powers, in order that
they may be available for the restora-
ton of order. Referring to the state
ments made to the effect that the Gre
tans prefer autonomy to annexation to
Greece, it is suggested that the Cretans
be allowed to choose their own govern
ment.
Greece is convinced that autonomy
will not pacify Crete, and that another
chapter of horrors of Mussulman fanat-
icism will be added to the six periods
of anarchy which have already deci.
mated the island.
1t is impossible, in view Of the past,
to advise the Cretans to lay down
their arms, holding that this advice
would not be obeyed, even if rendered.
The Greek reply also says that since
the foreign ships preserve order in Gre.
tan waters and prevent the landing of
Turkish troops, the presence of the
Greek ships is unnecessary; but it is
explained the Greek army cannot leave
the Christians to the risk of MusseIman
f,naticism and the Turkish troops.
The Greek government holds that
order in Crete would be Immediately
restored if the powers would have con-
fidence in the Greek troops, and permit
them to join in the work of pacifying
the island.
1t is understood that the foreign ad-
mirals have recommended the occupa-
ton of the Cretan ports by one battalion
OF infantry from each of the powers.
A dispatch from Canea says: "In
view of the reply of the Greek govern
ment to the identical note of the powers,
declining to withdraw the military
forces from the island, the foreign adj
mirals yesterday evening notified the
Greek vice consul that he must leave
Crete. They also wired to their re.
speclive governments for the immediate
dispatch Of six hundred men to main
tain order in the large towns. 1t is re-
ported that the siege of Candamo has
been raised, and that the Musselmans
have gone to Palikosa, where they are
safe.n

TUESDAY EVENING. MAR 9, 1857

Rrs4op MALLALIEU, of the M. +

Baltimore, which used to be consider
ed q Southern city, last Sunday, IN
which he spoke of the Confederate flag
as an "infamous and disgraceful rag"
The cause i'm which this bishop pro-
fesses to be engaged is fought under
the flag OF faith, hope and charity, Of
which the latter is the greatest, but the
heart of a man who, in Baltimore
preached such stuff as is referred to-
thirty-odd years after the war in which
the Southern people gained imperlsh-
able honor, must be as devoid of char
itv as his head is of sense. There are
MANY preachers who do the cause OF
religion great harm, and Bishop Malta

CARSON, New, March 9.--There is a
big row on between the prize-fghting
promoters and the U. S. officials here
over the inability of one of the officials
to collect money due from the Stuart
people. There was some talk of an in
junction against the prize fighting pro-
moters, but it is not thought that such
n step will be taken. U. S. Marshal
Humphreys said yesterday that the
national government can do nothing to
stop the fight. Three hundred strangers
are in town and two hundred of them
are sick. For the past fortnight nothing
has come into the valley except visitors
or a snow storm. There's pneumonia
on every corner and consumption on
the hills. Stuart's clerks are dishing
out tickets as fast as they can, and, with
the fight but eight days off, it looks
now as though the arena will be filled
to the limit. The unreasonable storm
here has spent its fury, aud yesterday
afternoon the streets were crowded
with men and women in light attire.

CONGRESSMAN HOWARD of Alabama
is not an admirable man by any means,
but in view OF the fact that all the
Northern manufacturers are to be still
further protected By the proposed new
tariff bill, many people, certainly many
cotton planters, will not blame him for
favoring bounty of five dollars bale
on cotton. The average disinterested,
unprejudiced, man cannot see the fair
ness of taxing all the other people of
the country for the sole benefit of the
owners of large manufacturing estab-
lishments. If the rich manufacturers
must have bounties bestowed upon
them by the government, why shouldn't
the poor hard working farmers re-
ceive bounties On their cotton, tobacco,
corn and wheat?

NORTHERN REPUBLICAN newspapers,

great deal toward excluding immigra
ton from this section. But it is no by
means certain that they have hurt the
South thereby, as its people are the only
pure blood natives of the country, the
foreign born element composing very
small proportion of its population. The
