THE ,FIREBRAND AGAIN

New Orbeans.-BeforeN this letter teaches you some incorrect statements
 respecting the affair of the Firebrand
 and the Spanish squadron will have
 been published. Here, where the
 suhject,is understood and investigated,
 sober and disinterested people are rather disposed to censure some of our own citizens. It appears that all our public, vessels for some time past, have been actively employed in keep ing up an intercourse with the insur- gents of Mexico who are in possession of several ports on the coast west Of l the Mississippi. It is well known that the Spanish municipal laws have ex- cluded foreign vessels from trading l within the Gulf of Mexico. But to come to the point about six weeks
 ago some members of the bar and others, purchased the schooner called i the General Jackson, loaded her with farms, ammunition, &c., destined for the patriots; this vessel sailed from the mouth of. the Mississippi early in 1 August The ,Ffrebrand shortly after , wards sailed fbr the coast of Mexico, for the purpose Gas it is said) Of bringing back the proceeds of this valuable cargo; but before it was landed or delivered to the Republi- cans, the Spanish squadron fell in with Athe General Jackson, the Firebrand
 in company; the Firebrand made di-
 rectly for the squadron andN managed
 10 divert the Spaniards in such way
 as to enable the Jackson to make her
 escape. One of the owners of the
 General Jackson and cargo, an emin.
 ent lawyer of this city, was on board
 of tl1is schooner. and went in her in i. the capacity of super cargo, &c., sc. He however. thought proper to shift
 his quarters and get on board the
 Firebrand. , He has arrived here, but left his schooner to run the gauntlet
 she will no doubt be taken and every one on board hung. This dissappoint- ment, an unexpected loss has enraged all the owners of the General Jack son to madness; they must have war with Spain, whether or no; having
 called a meeting and adopted resolu-
 tions which you will, of course. see.
 The prime movers of this meeting
 were MT. Duncan, and MT. Grymes;
 the former was for the schooner Gen eeral Jackson what merchants call ships husband, and the latter went out as super cargo, but as l have all ready stated, took care to go on board the F1rebrand in due time to save his
 neck. The above facts, 700 may de-
 pend, are substantially correct

FOUL CAMPAIGN METHODS

The strike among the. weavers at the Salts Textile Mfg. Co.,. has de- veloped an interesting condition of affairs. Yesterday noon the strikers presented themselves at the shop for their weekly pay. At the same time they sent a delegation to the office for copy of the new schedule of wages and later in the afternoon the strikers held a meeting in the rooms of the Working Mems club on East Main street.
 This strike has been the cause of the exposure of an anmanly election scheme which is sure to recoil on those who have used it. For Several weeks past the employees of the plush fac tory have received their pay in en- velopes bearing inscriptions which were calculated to influence the votes of those receiving them. The Farmer has in its possession three envelopes from which the names have been erased but it can produce the men who received them on a few hours notice.
