June 2S.-No officer or soldier under the
tank of a General is allowed into Cham
bersburg without special order from
Gen. Lee, which he is very chary of Civ
ing, and | hear of officers of rank being
refused this pass.
Moses proceeded into town at IL a. m.
with an official requisition for three days
rations for the whole army in this neigh
borhood. These rations he is to seize by
force, if not voluntarily supplied.
| was introduced to Gen. Hood this
morning: he is a tall, thin, wiry-looking
man, with grave face and a light-colored
beard, 80 years old, and is accounted one
of the best and most promising officers IN
the army. BY his Texan and Alabamlan
troops he is adored: he formerly com
manded the Texan Brigade, but has now
been promoted 10 the command of dlvIS-
ion. His troops are accused OF being a
wild set, and difficult to manage; and 1t
is the great object of the chiefs TO check
their innate plundering propensitles by
every means in their power.
| went into Chambersburg at noon and
found Lawley enSconced in the Franklin
Hotel. Both he and had much difficulty
in getting into that Notwithstanding
doors being locked. and only opened with
greatest caution. Lawley had had a most
painful journey in the ambulance yes:er-
day, and was much exhausted. No one
in the hotel would take the slightest notice
of him, and ali scowled at me in most
disagreeable manner.
After leaving Lawley pretty comfortable,
] walked about the town and Witnessed
the pressing operations Of Noses and his
myrmidons. Neither the Mayer nor the
corporation were to be found anywhere,
nor were the keys Of the principal stores
forthcoming until Moses began to apply
the AK. The citizens were lolling about
the streets in Iistless manner, and show
ing no great signs of discomfort. They
had left TO their women the task Of resist :

Were fully competent to perform. No sol

1t was pointed ont that while it

given, rs ho had boon, reasonable
time within which to advise, it was
exclusively tho function Of Congress
to declare war, commence hostilities
or take action Of that character. The
remarks carried the Wow that mere

After vigorous speeches denuncia-
tory OF Spain, it was decided to do
fer action until 5 o'clock tomorrow

to present to Spoaker Reed evidences
that a large majority favor tho step,

Special to NoTs and Courier.
Columbia, S. c., March 30-The
war talk is taking up moro Of the
public's attention Just now than the
political situation. The general i'm
preston is that if there should be
war there will be no campaign, and
that politics will Oe allowed to jog
along, and that there will be no DO
litical coutcsts. This is based upon
the presumption that tho people will
devote themselves to the war instead
of to politics. The general public
seems almost to have forgotten that
the conventions will begin on the
18th of next month, when the Pro
hibition Convention will be held.
This is the great unknown problem
of the political situation, and judg-
ing from the fondling which the
movement is receiving in certain
quarters thoro must be something in
tho cold water movement. II ls
noted that none of the "leeders"
have made fun OF tho Prohibition
movement, is was tho case several
years ago.
The county newspapers for this
week, in very many Of tho counties,
contain calls for county conventions
to be held on the 4th of tho month,
and in some cases the county conven-
tions are not to be called until the
following Saturday.
The political ball will be started
by the meeting Of the Democratic
executive committee, which has been
called to meet here on April s. The
announcement is made and been
reiterated that the executive commit
tee will do nothing but call the State
Convention, which will meet in May.
The call Of tho State committee is
said to be usual and those Interested
announce that there is no reason for
anyone to be frightened about the
calling Of the committee.

WAITING EXPECTANCY.
The situation at the capitol is ono
of waiting expectancy. Senators
and Rep. p.esentatives are willing to
give tho President an opportunity to
carry out his plans, but there is i'm
patience to have some information
regarding those plans and some as
surances that they will not delay nc.
tion too long.
1t was stated today in q high dip
lomatic quarter that tho Spanish gov
ornmont within the last ten days
had addressed n noto to tho great
powers Of Europe, fully setting forth
the grave aspect Of tho controversy
with the United Statos and at least
infcrentially suggesting that tho
timo was now opportune for Euro

taken by any Of the great powers, nl-
though there is little doubt that
France stands ready to take tho ini-
tiative If there is tho slightest ovi-
dence that the United States govern.
ment will view such a move with
favor.
LAST RESORT or DIPLOMACY.
A tender Of good Offices is one Of
the last rcaorts Of diplomacy, when
all others means of averting war socm
to be at an end. Thero is additional
difficulty from the fact that when
two nations arc involved in crisis
any external influence may be re-
sented as an intrusion. There is
reason to believe that tho French
authorities are fully conscious of
these delicate and difficult phases,
and that no step will be made unless
it is clearly apparent in advance that
the United States desires tho friend
ly Offices of other nations.
The Spanish government has oar
nestly hoped within the Inst week
that some of the European powers,
and moro likely Austria or France,
would take the initiative, without
waiting to consult tho desires Of this
government This hope has proved
vain, however, and it is stated today
on high authority that recent nego
tiations in Europe have disclosed
positively that while tho sympathy ol
some Of the continental powers was
toward Spain, no ono Of them stooC
reudy to espouse her cause, by medi
alton or by arms.
The greatest secrecy prevails il
many Of the bureaus Of the war ant
