ALEXANDRIA VA WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER Relations with Spain?Cuba.?The usually accurate aud well informed correspon lieut of the Baltimore Sun, writes as follows "Official advices received bv the government indicate that we are involved in no inconsiderable difficulties with Spain. The Cuban volunteers there have maltreated Americans and driven them within a receut period out of Havana. This government, aware of this, has repeatedly reprcsentend this condition of affairs to the authorities at Madrid, but without any other result than promises of early action, which were never fulfilled. Yesterday affairs became so threatening at Havana that the U. S. consul-general telegraphed that American citizens and officials needed the immediate protection of this government. The matter was brought to the attention of the cabinet yesterday and an armed fleet of four or five vessels has been ordered with all possible dispatch to Havana, to be placed in immediate communicition with the consul-general. The commanding officer of the fleet has instructions, as is learned from au entirely trust-worthy scource, in case the Cuban volunteers destroy the life and property of American residents, to demand immediate apology and reperation, and if they are refused, to fire the guns of the fleet on the city of Havana. The gunboat Nipsic. now at Pensaeola, will leave this evening, while the Terror, there undergoing repairs, has been ordered into commission, to be dispatched at once to Havana also. The Kansas has beeq ordered from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to the same destination with all possible dispatch, while the Severn and Nantasket are already on their way to Cuban waters. Admiral Lee, commanding the south Atlantic squadron, is now in Washington, but was active to-day, by orders of the government, in dispatching hi? vessels so as to be ready for any emergency. Owing to the rigid censorship over the telegraph at Havana but little is known here of the immediate events which have compelled I.., />AnCT,l Miinwil trt onnnal t',ir SKsi(h)npf> 1I ICS lUU^UI-^ViaiUl IV Uj'|>vui JV? uwwvMU.,v. But the condition of affairs with Spain, arising out of the Hornet difficult}*, and the treatment of Americans in Cuba is sufficiently shown hy the diplomatic correspondence to warrant the government, in the startling measurers it lias taken. _________ It is denied that Secretary Boutwell has violated the law which authorized the payment of one-half of one per ct. to pay the expenses connected with the disposing of the new loan. All agents connected with its negotiation will receive only so much of the half of oue per ct. as shall remain after paying for the engraviug and printing of the bonds, &c. With this deduction, it is supposed the compensation will not amount to as much as a quarter ot one per cent. Dr. Ewer, an Episcopal Minister in Now York, who recently left Christ Church in that city, says that "he intends to run the church of which he is next to have charge, on moderate ritualistic principles." He says that he and the Bishop of New York are iu entire harmony. He further disowns the name of "Protestant." Are he and the Bishop of New York in entire harmony there, too? In view of the recent hanging of three colored murderers in Clark county, Indiana, by a band of masked men, and the promulgation of a Ku-Kluk notice to quit, to the colored men who have settled iu that county siucc the close of the war, Gov. Baker has issued a proclamation calling upon the local authorities to arrest the offenders and bring them to trial. The recent Report of Col. 15. W. Frobel, Superintendent of Public Works and State Engineer in Georgia, of which we have already made mention, is highly spoken of by the papers of that State, especially that portion of it which contains his argument in favor of water communication between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic Ocean. A statement compiled in the tonnage division of the United States Treasury shows that Great Britain possesses 40$ per ceot. of the international commerce of the globe. Much of the international commerce of the European nations being by inland routes, it would seem probable that the British commerce by sea is about fifty per cent. oT the sum total. The editor of the Baltimore American gives notice''that as one of the members of the National Republican Committee,he proposes to introduce iu that Commiteo a resolution urging and recommending the Republicans of all the States to refrain from sending Federal officeholders as Delegates to the National Republican Convention." The Washington Patriot says:?"The clerks iu the Treasury Department have many of them been working at night for a week or two past, and the accounts of every disbursing officer of the Government have been overhauled. This was ordered in consequence of the numerous defalcations that have recently bceu reported." Mr. Horace Greeley is just now the particular object of displeasure to the Radical party. They denounce him in round terms. As soon as it is ascertained after Grant's nomination, that he will stick to the "party," he will be ".is good as wheat" to his present denouncers. The execution of Gen. Rossel, at Paris, has caused much excitement. There will be a bitter feeliug created by it against the present French government, and Thiers as its head. Rossel participated in the Commune insurrection. The II. S. Circuit Court at Columbia, S. C., sustaiued the objection of the U. S. District Attorney iu relation in the summoning of the jury iu the Ku-Klux cases, and adjourned until to-morrow to allow time for summoning another jury. .Mr. Colfax, in Baltimore, yesterday, talked politics, expressed his confidence in a Republican triumph in 1S72?said his first choice for President was Gen. Grant?declared that he and Gen. Grant were good friends?&c., &c. ALEXANDF The President has as yet made no response to'therecoot appeals to him to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in Georgia and Florida. Senator Oal orn is very anxious that martial law shall be proclaimed in Calhoun and Jackson aunties of the latter State. A suit has been brought iu Washington hy Stilwell Harris, of New York, against flu- managers. trustees and commissioners of the "grand gift concert" lately held at Lincoln Flail, for j monies expended in behnlfnf that ''enterprise." I Congress will be asked by the Secretary ofi War. it is given out upon high authority, to i increase the army somewhere near its former j standing previous to the recent reduction in j accordance with the law of Congress. A dispatch from Madrid says that "Gen. Sickles, L\ S. Minister to Spain, was imurieJ to a Miss Crouch on the I'Tth. and started for New York immediately." It is said there will be a strong San I'oiuiugo lobby this winter, during the session id' Congress. There is a good del of "money"! iu this business. Many of the L\ S. soldiersin SouMi Carolina i arc charged with brutal treatment of the citi- J zeus, whilstengaged in executing the Ku-Klux law. The Secretary of the Commonwealth is prepared to isMio to the members elect ol'the Legislature of Virginia their certificate- of election. Pork is .selling r/imp in all the Western cities. It is much lower than it was last year, ami an unusual number of hogs are being killed. The Legislature of Wyoming ha> njinifrd the law allowing female suffrage in that territory. Mr. Goo. W. Carter, formerly of this State, j has been very ill in New Orleans, but at la-t j dates was recovering. To-inorvow is the day recommended by the President to be observed as Thanksgiving Day. j There is a rumor in New lurk that Mayor j flail has determined to resign. r,vvr? ?tK t il K iP '7b ik; .'A- ni/t ii if I l'i>''// Itn /'//j C'oUsideiable excitement has been created in English tiuaneial circles by some one foisting j upon the public bogus telegraphic dispatches j to the effect that ail the leading railroad lines in England had amalgamated. The effect up- i on 'Change was similar to New York Wall j street scenes, with the exception that no money swindles are reported. The steamship North America, which arrived at Baltimore ou Sunday last, was cleared I yesterday, and will sail this morning for Liver- pool with a heavy freight, and upun arriving at Halifax will take on the English mail, ft is said that with the opening of spring two additional steamers will be placed upon the route. The colored boy Thomas Carroll, who was arrested in Baltimore in August lust on the charge of having killed Jacob Brown by stabbiug hiui with a knife,was acquitted yesterday, the State's Attorney having abandoned the ca-e after the testimony hud been heard. Gov. Scott, of S. 0., in a message to the General Assembly yesterday, stated that the entire debt of the State is S11,994,008. He says the State will meet all her obligations, and recommends that no money be borrowed to meet the current expenses. Chicago is to receive a gift frotu sympathizing friends in England. The Anglo-American Association has inaugurated a plan for furnish iog that city with a free library. Among the contributors arc Disraeli, the Marquis of Lome, Carlyle, &c. In the Supreme Court of New York yesterday, Judse Speucer decided that a mock-mar riage, followed by a cohabitation and a public acknowledgment of the marriage, is valid according to the laws of the tState. There is considerable feeling being exhibited at the present time in differeut cities in the Union,in reference to the condemned custom of trades-unions restricting the number of apprentices employed in various callings. The merchants of New York are inaugurating a combined effort to break down the system of corruption in harbor charges which has fleeced thetu of thousands of dollars and injured commerce. The Police Commissioners of New York have decided to break up the lottery policy swindling shops in that city. The trial of 3Irs. Wharton for the poisoning of Gen. Ketchuiu commences at Annapolis on Monday uext. West Virginia.?-The Wheeling Register, a leading journal in West Virginia, says: "It is perhaps needless to remark that West Virginia does not just yet recognize her liability tor one-third ot the public debt of Virginia, notwithstanding her territory and population may be one-third of the former population and territory of the State. We are willing to abide the decision of the commissioners legally appointed to ascertain what amount of debt we shall assume, but there is no use in disguising the fact that the people of West Virginia will be greatly astonished it it is adjudged that onethird of the debt is justly due from this State. West Virginia is quite as willing as the old Coiumouwealth to 'consider all the equities' and be guided by theui in determining what portion of the debt she should assume, but the Whig is certainly mistaken in supposing that the counties composing West Virginia have drawu from the treasury, in excess of the taxes they have paid, a sum equal to the whole debt of the State, or that Mr. Bennett entertains such an opinion." Mf.i.axchoi.y Case.? A letter Irom .Telcrsviile, in Amelia county, to the Richmond Whig savs:? '"This eommunitv was startled vesterdav by an act of self-destruction on the part of an elderly and highly respected citizen by the name of Daniel Worshatu. The deceased had for the past twenty years been a great sufferer from rheumatism, and during the whole of this period had made extra vagrant use uf laudanum to allay his cxcrutiatiug pains. So ne cessary had the opiate become to his peace of mind and body, that he was in a most wretched condition whenever his supply had been ex hausted. and in consequence of its exhaustion and long deferred supply,which he had awaited with intense suffering for several days, the old gentleman, in full command of his mental faculties, deliberately walked out into the yard and cut his throat with a razor. Found weltering in his blood by one of his friends, he declined all proffered relief, saying "T did it aud I prefer to die. Mr. Worsham was a gentleman of intelli- geuce aud remarkable piety. The only mem- j ber of his family is an adopted daughter. It is sad to think that a life so near its natural close should have been driven by intense suffering to volnntary death. tIA GAZETTE AN VIRGINIA NEWS.

Washington Patriot. Var.nisii Manufacture.?The "Village Suiithy," celebrated by Longfellow, is thus alluded to by the Cambridge (Mass. j Chronicle: In 1 si'(i. this shop was occupied by Dexter Pratt, and io that year lie rented the hack part of it to Franklin lioughtonand David Met 'lure, for the purpose of making varnish. Thus, in iu 1 Slin in Old Gam bridge, and in this blacksmith shop, was coin pott tided and cooked the first varnish ever made in this country for public sale. Previous to that time, each carriage painter made his own varnish. A kettle, holding about eight gallons, was used by this firm, and as fast as it was made, the varnish was taken to Boston and sold to the carriage makers. The business proved to bo remunerative, and there grew up a steady demand for all they could supply. The process of making it was a secret one, having been bought by them of a Frenchman, and thus they held a monopoly of the trade for a long time. Ir is said that they 1 1 11 1 realized a prone or a uoiiar an uour during working hours. and in tho.se days, and in this part of the world, this was considered splendid pay. Such was the initial point of varnish manufacture in the I nked States, an interest which has steadily increased ever since, until to day it is represented by no less than one hundred firuis in America, aiuong which are several very large business houses. Washington Items.?Col. W. F. Stocking of New York city, and Miss Pattie Miller, daughter of Mr. Justice Miller, of the 1 hiked States Supreme Court, were married yesterday. Mr. Thomas I?. Cross, a highly e-teenied citizen of the sixth ward, fell dead last night as lie was about to retire to his bed. He was about 04 years of age. On Sunday night two colored men went to the house of Mrs. Talbert. in the county, a short distance from Hock Creek church, and demanded admittance, On opening the door, she was knocked down by one of the ruffians, who afterwards proceeded to search the house, and then cleared out with their plunder.
