THE NATIONAL PAsTN1E.

Dan Shannon is not only playing as fine a second base as any player in the country covering that position, but his batting is up to the top notch. There are a mum Der of National league teams that would like to get hold of Dan, but they won'- secure him, as he prefers a, position similar to the one he now holds.
 The Washington correspondent of the Sporting Life has this to say of our Bridgeport boys: Wagner ought to have very little to complain of. In DeMontreville. Lush, Rogers and Me Cauley he picked the strongest quar- tet of colts in the league today. When the Senators face a left handler, Cap tain Joyce re-arranges the batting or der and sends Lush to the field in place of a left hand hitter. Left handlers are just to "Billy's'' liking. He hit Friend for a triple, single and homer recently, and has also made long drives off Killen and Breiten- Stein.''

 One Hundred Years Ago.

To the politenes of our correspon- dent at New Orleans, (says the New Y Yorl6 Spectator). we are indebted for the following detail and interesting upon the U. s. schr. Firebrand. The conduct of the Spanish commanders, on this occasion, was indeed barbar- ous and coward1y in the extreme. The facts here related will undoubt- edly excite general sentiment of indignation throughout our country:
 Gazette Office, New Orleans--Un- der free and popular form of gov ernment like ours, it is a high priv i1ege of the citizens to form and ex- press his opinions in all trying emer- gencies. The government itself is bound to regard the public senti- ment, and in some measure to direct it's operations in conformity to it.
 There was little doubt that, in con- sequence of an uneXampled outrage upon the national flag, and the mea- sures of retaliation adopted by the naval commander on the New Or leans station, our country is on the eve of a war. It is proposed, there fore, that a meeting of the citizens of New Orleans be held on Thursday, in order to express in respectful ad- dress to the Executive of the United States our indignation at the out rage upon our flag, and our readi- ness to support the government in such measures as it may take in or der to obtain satisfaction for the same.
 The following letter to the editor is written by a gentleman who was on board of Ffrebrand when she had the recontre with the lords of the Gulf of Mexico. He expresses himself warm ly, but in a manner worthy an Amer ican citizen who witnessed an out rage, which, if we are not greatly mistaken will produce one loud and simultaneous burst of indignation from one end of the continent to the other. It is highly probable, as the writer suggests, that the Spanish commander wished to provoke some act of hostility from the F'irebrand, which might afford him a pretext for her instantaneous and total destruc- ton. In that case he would doubt less have reported~to the captain gen. eral that he had sunk a pirate and the American public, not knowing the actual fate of the Firebrand, would attribute her loss, like that of the Wasp and Epervier, to the clements But Providence determined that the ends of justice should not thus be defeated.
