Having established his innocence before a court of justice Mr. Trenor W. Park is now thinking of turning his attention to those newspapers which have with such “damna ble iteration” insisted upon his guilt in the Emma mine sale. It Is much to bo doubted it Mr. Park would show wisdom in prosecut ing the controversy further. But he cer tainly has reason to complain that the old Scotch justice of Jedburgh has been meted out to him by the journals, and that he was condemned first and tried afterwards. The trial has lasted seventy days. At its begin ning the expression of public opinion was loudly and decidedly that the promoters of the mine speculation were guilty of gross irauu in making tne sale. The result is a triumphant acquittal. The least that the organs of public opinion can do is to be as emphatic in their proclamations of Mr. Park’s proved innocence as they were in their de nunciations of his presumed guilt. The suit was brought in the United States Circuit Court by the English stockholders in the enterprise against Mr. Trenor W. Park, Gen. II. H. Baxter, and ex-Senator Stewart of Nevada. As appeared in the trial, some time alter the organization of a company to work the mine, with a nominal capital of $5,000,000, the property was sold to English capitalists for the same sum. Subsequently the mine did not prove productive, and the English stockholders jumped at once to the conclusion that it never had any value, and that the sale was fraudulent and based on false representations. But it was proved that at the time of the sale the mine was a valuable property, having yielded richly for many months. Its failure was an event which even mining experts were unable to foresee. The sale was a perfectly legitimate transaction, and entered into in good faith by all parties concerned in it. Even now there ;s prospect that the property will again be come very valuable. The case has excited widespread interest because of Gen. Shenck’s connection with It. At the time of the sale Gen. Shenck, one of the directors of the company, was United States Minister to England. It was alleged that he took advantage of the facilities af forded by his official position to help the sale. He certainly did express his belief in the great value of the mine, a belief amply war ranted, as the facts brought out in the course of the trial proved. His innocence of all wroDg intent was fully demonstrated and tardy justice done to a long slandered man. The only possible fault now to be found against him is that of error of judgment in retaining his prominent connection with a speculative company while holding his official position. His exoneration will be gladly re ceived, for a stain upon the reputation of our representative wa9 a stain upon the good name of the nation. The general opinion at Washington is that the extra session of Congress will not be a short one. In the first place considerable time may possibly be consumed in the elec tion of Speaker and other matters of organ ization, Besides the indications are that a variety of business will be laid before Con gress by the Departments. The deficiency for the Navy Department will be presented; a number of railroad schemes are expected to crop out from private; sources an appro priation for the French exhibition and for the buildings of a national museum—to pre serve the acquisitions of the Centennial— will be asked, and there will doubtless be a fight over the army bill, if the extreme Dem ocrats carry out their programme of attempt, ing reduction. So that it is pretty certain that, unless the summer should be extremely hot, aud Washington unusually unhealthy, the session will wear well along toward the regular winter meeting. Those who are looking for England to take part at once in the settlement of the Eastern question will likely be grievously dis appointed. In the last war between Russia and Turkey the strife had goue on with vary ing fortunes for over a year before England and France lifted a finger to help the Porte. The plan proposed is most likely one of pro crastination. Great Britain will watch the progress of the war, and will not allow the Turks to be too badly beaten. So lorg as the Russians confine their Turk-thrashing to the northern portion of Bulgaria, England will hardly do more than keep a strong fleet of irou-clads near Constantinople, ready to pro tect that city against sudden capture; but if the Russians gain the passes of Shumla and Sophia, and begin to pour down into the plains of Roumelia and Albania, she may take a hand in the game. Congressman Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, in a recent speech gave as his opinion that the scheme of the Electoral Commission averted civil war, and believed that “if war had come it would have been a bloody and destructive war at the North, while we, who aro one-sided, would have had nobody to fight and would have been exempt from the scourge. The Northern people would have fled its ravages in swarms with such property as they could bring away, and sought shelter and homes among the quiet people of the South, and when peace and order were restored, the South would have been the more populous section of the two.” FitOM an official statement of the imports of wheat into the United Kingdom during the fifteen months ended March 31, 1877, it ap pears that the quantity sent from the United States was 24,299,162 cwt., and from Russia, 10,112,444 cwt. Turkey also contributed 1,441,183 cwt. to the English supply. If the Turco-Russian war continues, American farmers will probably have an opportunity of furnishing nearly the entire quantity hitherto obtained from Russia and Turkey, and a ma terial addition will thus be made to our na tional exports. Accounts from various points in Minne sota, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri are encouraging with respect to the prospects tor wheat and corn. A vast amount of seeding has been done w the past two or three weeks, the farmers being moved to extra efforts in order to offset, as far as possi ble, the ravages of the grasshoppers, so that the acreage will largely surpass that of previ ous years. Good crops will find the North west in sliap8 to reap the full benefit of high prices. The shipments of American beef to Great Britain increase with each month—the amount shipped during March being over three thousand tons. The traffic bids fair to prove a bigger bonanza than any likely to be developed in the Black Hills. Texas threatens to be badly hopperdozed this year. More than twenty counties in the wheat-growing section of the state are report ed alive with the destructive insects. The Illinois legislators have grown to be shamefully negligent of work, a large propor tion having been absent from a third to a half of the session, and they are very mad at the Chicago Tribune for exposing them. Current Comment. Stanley Matthews thinks Gen. Garfield will receive the Republican caucus nomination for Speaker, but that he will get no votes from Southern Democrats. A gentleman who has just returned from an extended tour through the West says that Sayler is gaining votes for Speaker, and that Randall is losing ground. There is considerable feeling of “don’t care which whips” manifested about the Eastern troubles. The affected that way say “Go in Bear,” “Go in, Crescent,” whichever seems topmost for the time. There has been a good deal of guess work about the probable length of the extra session of Congress. Mr. Randall thinks it will not be prolonged by a fight over the army bill now that the troops have been withdrawn from South Carolina and Louisiana. The New York World is so much worried over the difficulty of preserving the old party lines now the old issues are gone, that it is writing long articles every other day telling the Democrats they must “stand firm” till they have repealed pretty much all the old reconstruction legislation. The great majority of the Republican party began to vote after the Whig passed away, and what would it say to the position? We can not afford to try experiments. That sail or’s blanket never grew longer by sewing upon the bottom what had been cut from the top; nor will the Republican party become larger by building on at the South what it loses at the North.—Syracuse Standard. We are authorized to say the report that *ertain polilicans had engaged Dr. Schlieman tn rnmp. tn this; pnnntrxr tn n-vhnmn flm WMr» party, is an entire misapprehension of the object of his expected visit to America. The doctor, when applied to for the purpose, said the job was entirely beyond his powers of accomplishment. Beside, his line is the ex humation of art treasures and not of mum mies.—Troy Times. Last fall Mr. Metcalfe, Republican, and Mr. Frost, Democrat, ran for Congress in the Third Missouri District, in the city of St. Louis, Metcalfe having a small majority; but, pending the official' canvass, some one en tered the office of tha county clerk and al tered the returns so as to give Frost a ma jority. The case was taken to the courts by Metcalte and, having gone to the Supreme Court on appeal, his title has been affirmed, and the Democratic majority in the House is thus reduced one. Senator Dorsey predicts that when Gen. Garfield returns from Ohio he will not he the administration candidate for speaker. Sena tor Dorsey, on a recent trip through Ohio, says that he found the Western Reserve in Garfield’s district very earnestly opposed to the Southern policy of the President. Some prominent men in Garfield’s district informed him (Dorsey) that, if the latter did appear as an administration candidate for speaker, and indorsed the president’s action with respect to the South, it would be the end of Gen. Garfield’s career in the district.— Washington Letter. _ The Russian Campaign. The Russians open their campaign with a masterful method and readiness which show hat they have been apt students at the modern ait of war-makiDg as perfected by the Prus liaus. The forced march upon Galatz, once ;tae Rubicon bad been passed, is pronounced by die military critics to have been “wonderful!'’ Hot over fifteen hours were cousumed in dasb □g from the Pruthto*this commanding hold lpon both the Danube aud tbe Roumanian rail road. It appears that the wagon traiDS were ised only to carry the arms and knapsacks of rhe infantry—a new device lor a forced march, a. foothold once secured in this central rally ng-point upon river and railroad, tbe Russians mmediately took measures to maintain it as a nase, as though they had had it selected for tbe purpose for years—in view of tbe possible erri teucies of the poor Christians of Turkey. rificatious already planned were at once begun, iteamboats brought hithei >n pieces we.e put roaether to make a flotilla for despatch, obser vation aud defence upon the r!”or, and tbe water approaches to the position were thickly lown with torpedoes; so that tbe redoubtable English admiral of tbe Turkish Navy, Hooart facba, found himself bottled up in his gun boats in the Danube, and was obliged to take* to tbe railroad and strike across country to Varna and his big ships. It must have been decidedly mortifyiDg and uncomfortable For this British sea dog. who undoubtedly roles the waves in the Black Sea, to be forced thns »t the outset to sourry across the land like a luck out of water; particularly since he may •eflect that the torpedo trick can be tried else where, and the whole naval advantage of Tur key—and of England, toh, if she concludes to take a hand—rendered nugatory for attack. All observers seem to be impressed by various sign and circumstances that Russia has gone into this war with the most complete prepara tion, after the most careful study and delibera tion, and supported by immense resources. It will take many days, perhaps weeks, for the Invading army of 300,000 men to be massed. But meanwhile the temporary positions and dispositions are evidently carefully considered and strongly supported, while the future path way is made smooth by a most agreeable un derstanding with the Ronmanians as to supplies and paying lor them. If there is any possibil ity or peace-making in this lull before the storm the Turks had bettor improve it.—Bos ton Transcript. Pettengill’s Newspaper Directory.

The Lonisville Courier-Journal, speaking of the much discussed revival of the old Whig party, drops iDto poetry thus: We shall surely not quarrel with Mr. Thomp son’s loving references to the old Whig party. There is something touching in them. It was as a Whig that he gained bis laurels, and on the spot which he now revisits after long years of retiremeu*. He comes back to Washing ton an old man but a great official. He be holds the capitol of his country, much grown in size truly—he beholds it flaring in the sun shine, written all over with the luminous pages of old Whig history, and his heart swells like the great dome above it. He gazes into the Virgiuia hills, and as the moonlight streams over the shadows, an hundred ghostly forms, i nswallow-tailed coats and white cravats, steal ont from under the ancient ash bouglis, moving solemnly to the soft sweet mosic of “the UoioD, the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws.” Aye, it was a most respectable old parly; ana what wonder that an old man’s fancy should in these corraptful times turn to it wistfully! But it is dead, dead as a door nail; dead as a mackerel; dead as the bulrushes round little Moses on the old banks of the Nile It is dead never to be recalled to life. It was too pure to live, and it died. It died and it was buried— ruffles, silver cane, red silk handkerchief, snuff box and all. If the miraculous hand of God should bring it back (or a moment to the face of the earth, its old eyes would be dazzled and its old respectability would he affronted and its old heart would be sickened by the sights it would encounter. Rip Van Winkle, gray bearded aud withered, would be a stripling to it.

Art aud Artists. Millais is going to paint a very striking pic ture. It is to represent the ceremony annually performed of searching tbe basement of the House of Commons by 12 Yeomen of tbe Guard before the opening of the bonse. The Yeomen ‘5 q“aint. dresses of scarlet, black and gold, carry torches, and the; scene ought to make a very effective picture. Jean Baptists Medou, whose death was an nounced a few days ago, was, says tbe Kol niscbe Zeitung, one of the finest and most orig inal painters of tbe modern Belgian school, as well as a veteran among the Belgian artists. To his country he was what Meissonieris to I ranee, only the Belgian master possessed a richer fancy and a wider domain than the b rench master. “He died, so to speak, on tbe held of honor; for four days before his death he greeted the king and the queen of Belgium, at the opening of the exhibition In Brussels, in the position ot honorary president of tbe Socie ty of Painters in Water Colors," Mr. D. G. Rossetti, among other new pic tures, has painted one illustrating his “Blessed Damo9el.” The figure is life-size or a little larger, and amid a mass of blooming .roses, she leans forward on one arm against and over the golden wall or parapet of Heaven, which is enriched with strange sculptures, and gleams in the mystical light of the place. "Her loose and ample robe of a pale cerulean blue covers ber shoulders, and above this is a scarf of bronze-tint intermixed with silvery hues Tbe great heavenly lilies of sainthood lie »n the hol low of her other arm. Her bead is bent for ward, and her pure pale face is marked by a love-yearniDg look *n the never weary, yet wistful, eyes, and on her half-open lips sits immovably patient expectation ber hair is of a deep golden tint, there are purple stars about it, aud it seems to flow from under these upon her shoulders aud her back in an abundant mass richly lighted.*' A private letter from Rome, extracts from which are published in the Rnatnn a.i trart imp says that Prtston Powers, the second son and only pupil of the late Hiram Powers, has filled his father’s room in the studio at Florence with his own works. “Among these,” the letter says, “are the portrait busts of the late Prof. Agassiz whose most genial expression has been caught by the artist, though modeled after Agassiz s death—and the equally striking busts of Charles Sumoer and John G. Whittier: also those of Senator MorrilJ, Lady Maelmnzie, and the late James Lawrence. Mr. Powers'style reproduces that of his father, and is remarkable for delicacy and finish. Mr. Powers is now en gaged upon the statue ot the late Hon. Jacob Collamer, the contribution ot the state of Ver mont to the old Hall of Representatives in Washington. This last was originally ordered of Hiram Powers; but as he died witnoatexe cotiug it, the order was transferred to Preston Powers, as his father’s successor and pnpil. The figure is distinguished by a quiet dignity and ease, which is apparent to the casual ob server; hut only those who know something of the work cau appreciate the difficulties that have been overcome iu dealing with oar modern costume. I understand that a brother ot Mr. Powers has lately begun to model.” A correspondent in Paris writes me^tbat a wonderful sensation has been produced there by the Art Exhibition just opened, represent ing the new school of painters calling them selves the “Impressionists.” These jartists go about in an apparently nomadic way, and when anything whatever impresses them they paint these impressions of it, care being taken not toi sophisticate the first impression. It seems to be a vague following of Emerson’s interpretation of ancient works: “The passive master lent bis hand To the vast whole that o’er bim planned.” I have myself seen some of these pictares; and some of them are queer enough. A.steam engiue puffing through a railway station; a corps de ballet lolling about just before re hearsal, before an empty theatre; anything may form the subject, and the treatment is rough, strong and hasty. All the traditions of art are defied. The majority say it is all crazy; some say, “Ugly, if you please, but something may grow out ot it.” I hear that the number of American ladies studying art in Paris steadily increases. A picture of still life—ap ples, blue jug and flask of Marasohino—by Miss May Aleott, of Concord, Mass., has been highly praised by M. Muller, of the Luxem burg Concierge, and is one of the 2000 accepted out of the 9000 sent to the coming Salon.—if. D. Conway. A London correspondent of the Nation, un der date of Anril 11, writes: “Ever since the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge complimented Miss Elizabeth Thompson at the Royal Academy dinner of 1874—the year of her clever picture of the Roll-Call in the Cri mea—this young lady has eDjoyed the highest DODdlaritV. Thfl nirtnro in r.no.Imn k.o hot been placed on exhibition in Bond street, ac companied by its two successors, Quartre-Braa and Balaclava, and having seen neither of the three works before, I was curions to examine the foundations of so great a fame. Without confessing to the 'iniquitous prejudice’ against Miss Thompson to which Mr. Buskin pleads guilty, I must admit that I half expected the "endorsement’ of two Boyal Highnesses to have won a large part of the battle. But the three pictures are more interesting than I was prepared to find them, and may serve as an other proof that there is no smoke without fire. They are indeed a particularly interest ing illustration of the English taste in art, and if M. Taine, who has had much to say on this point, has not seen them, he ought to come over and do so without delay, for they would famish him an invaluable arrow for bis quiver. They are English to the grain of the canvas— equally English in tbeir merits and tbeir de fects. It is probable that if painted in France they would not have bad the smallest success in that country; that the vulgarity of the exe cution would have seemed to French specta tors to be in excess of the ‘anecdotical’ vi vacity. But Miss Thompson's work is on tbe whole good enough, I think, to warrant one in sayiogthatif it coaid not succeed in France so much the worse for the French. This, how ever, is rather idle talk, tor neither the Roll Call nor Quatre-Bras, just as they are, could possibly have proceeded from a Paris atelier. They would have had inevitably much more chic of execution and much less real sincerity of spirit. This latter is tbeir great quality, and they possess it to a remarkable—an almost touching—degree. The Roll-Call represents a .company of the Grenadier Guards, drawn up in the early morning on the Crimean auowi, while a sergeant registers the vacancies in his note-book, and the colonel rides slowly by and looks at the thinned ranks with a drooping head. The entertainment of tbe picture is in the attitudes of the men, each of which is made to tell one of those ‘stories’ which the English art Datron is supposed to insist upon. Tbe story is in each case very well told—very dramatically and yet very simply; tbe men are all eacelleat studies of the stalwart British soldier. Miss Thompson evidently knows her model, and there is nothing of feminine weakness or vague ness in her treatment of him, at the same time that there is much feminine subtlety. Thu men are all in their gray overcoats and (save where their bandaged heads prevent it) their bearskins; tbe sky Is gray and low, and there is little color in tbe picture except the two or three patches of visible red in the sergeant's and tbe colonel’s uniforms. Vet, in spite of this, the painter has skilfully avoided monot ony, and arranged her gradations of tone with something nearer an approach to strictly pic torial felicity than we find in the other pictures. The Roll-Call is, I think, the best of the three. Quatre Bras is even more ‘anecdotal’—it is fall of spirit and keenness of intention, but the want of intrinsic charm in the painting, its thinness, garishness, and mere surface look cut down tbe claims of the picture rather seriously. It is true that Mr. Buskin praised it in his Notes on the Boyal Academy for the reverse of these things; but Mr. Buskin’s praise Is some nines as erratic as ms oiame. i ne canvas rep resents one of the hundred episodes of the field of Waterloo—a portion of an English regiment of the line formed into a square in a trampled wheat field, in the strong hot light of a June day, and being played upon by the French artillery aad charged by cuiras siers and lancers. The best thing is tbe figure of a great French dragoon on the right, who has been brought down with his horse, and whose crash and confusion wo seem to hear and fee). ‘Amazon’s work’ Mr. ltuskin calls this, and the phrase happily describes tbe boldness and intelligence with which Miss Thompson has rendered a movement she never can have seen. Tbe red-coats, as they face ns, are kneel ing on tbe ground, taking tbe fire as best they can, and waiting to give back what they can with their fixed bayonets. M. Tame would probably find in the faces of the men an im mense deal of the ‘psychological trutk’ for which, in the absence of plastic qualities, he praises Eoglish art. One of the lads has burst ont laughing at the sight of some down-top pling lancer who is out of oar vision, and his comrade behind him :s taking up bis laugh with a quieter, more cautious smile, whioh is very handsomely rendered. It is to tbe frankness and vigor with which Miss Thompson manages such touches as these that she probably owes much of her success. The Balaclava seems to me the weakest of the three works, though the subject is cleverly chosen—representing as it does the remnant of the famous six hundred struggling back, shattered and dying, unhorsed riders and riderless horses, to tbe hill-crest from which they made their charge. Miss Thomp son’s coloring strikes me as disagreeable and her manipulation as rather primitive; bather work is full of intelligence and of a certain vl vaoity of feeling which, in a day when so many of the ingredients of painting have turnea stale, ought to be very welcome."

Mow It Works at tlie Corners. Tke Color JLinc Wiped Out. unhappy Mr. Nasby writes as follows to the Toledo Blade: Squire Boyer heviu gone hentz we bed to elect a justis to his place, and in the conven Bhun Deekin Pogram and Abslum I’ettus wuz the candidates. Pettus developed a good deal uv strength, but the deekin hevin invited the convenshun out to take sutbin, it turned the scale and he wuz nominated, Pettuz swoie he would never stand that kind nv tactics, and he declared hisself an independent candidate, at which we laft, for the Dimocrisy of the Corners are firm bleevers in the sanctity of reglar nom inashens. The radikels, mostly niggers, hedid by Pol lock and Bigler, met and resolved to make no nominashen, and so the contest wuz between the good old deekin and this wretched, disor ganizing Pettus, and a very lively contest it wuz. The niggers called a meetin, wich percedin filled us with astonishment. Sich a thing hed never happened here before, and we all won dered wat it meant. “Uv course this can’t be permitted!” sed the deekin. “Not any,” sez I. “Ii’s agin nacher and must be prevented.” And so on the nlte uv the meetin Issaker, Captain McPelter and the rest uv the faithful went to the hall over Pollock’s store, where the niggers wuz in session, and pullin our revolv ers advised em to git. But the niggers didn’t git, for up sprung Pettus and about a dozen uv his friends and made sum few remarks. “These gentlemen,” said Pettus, “is citizens uv the Yoonited States, and ez sich hev a rite to meet and consult ez to the condishn uv our common country. They are a goiu to do it, or you hev me to fite ez well ez them.- This thing is played out." 1 wuz struck dum with amazement. “Why this is revelooshen! This is auarky! This is a turnin-over uv things! This is a up turning and a upheeval! The idee uv a white man and a dimekrat a siden with niggers and radikels! Pettus, what do you mean? Set uowu, air: roe uimecrauc party noiil yoo to yoor allegianse!” “D—n the Dimecratic party,” wuz the reply uv this infiddle. “X want to be justis, and I’m a goin to be! X propose to beet that old suck er.” The nlggera held their meetin and resolved to cast their ballots for Abslum Pettus. “Will they be allowed to vote?” askt the deekin, his voioe quiverin with emoshin. “Never!” eed I. “Ef they vote then chaos comes agin.” The eleckshun was held last monday. Early in the mornin Pettus, and a dozen or two uv renegade Dimocrats, with Pollock and that in famus Joe Bigler, all uv em with revolvers, wuz on hand when the poles wuz opened, with more than a hundred niggers. Instid uv hevin Pogram, Bascom and McPelter for the board, wioh hez bin the custom for yeers, they insistid upon beln represented theirselves, and ez they wuz largely in the majority they pnt a nigger on the board. The dimocrisy rallied, but it wuz evident they wuz demoralized. Pettus talked all day about the rites uv all citisens to vote, and ez the nig gers hed bin made citisens he swere they shood vote, or he’d know the reazun why, espeshally ez they wuz all a votin for him. And Polloek and Bigler backed him up, and the niggers took heart, hevin support from so meny white men, and they come in in droves, and votid ez nater ally ez tho they hed been alluz used to it Aud ez we had no chance to do the countin by ourselves, owin to that nigger’s bein on the board, and with Pettus and Bigler standin right behind him, the onary cuss wuz declared elect id, and Deekin Pogram defeetid, by a large majority. This is the end uv all things. Pettus hez de clared for the administrashen uv the yoosirpur Hayes, and hez changed his hedquarters to Bascom’s store, and there he and his minyuns meet every nite, and exult over his triumph. But it doesn’t end here. Issaker Gavitt kicked a nigger yesterday, and the nigger hanld him up afore Squire Pettus, and that onfeelin man fined Issaker, and when Issaker refoosed to pay the fine on the ground that a court elected by niggers coodent possibly be consti tooshunal, nohow, he chucked him into the calaboose, where he is now languishin, a mar tsr to principle, and a want of four dollars and hall!. Where will it end? The Lord only knows. The color line is busted in the Corners, and the uiggcro, u>' me ireacnery uv one man, nev tne power. Next fall they will elect the county officer, ef some Dimmyhrat wich hez never distinguished hisself a shootin uv em sees fit to bed em, and some sich will be found. I kin see wat is goin to happen. Deekin Pogram is now greeven that he didn’t show the black cnsses tome considerashen and entise em away fromPettns. He is lamentin that he didn’t ^reet um cordially, and affllyate with em, and yoose em ez become voters. “Hed I done this,” said the good old man, e» non nn Fractional currency.. 22 Uoiu Certificates.V/". £$$11 m ToS unclaimed iuterest.,...

Howard of the Oriental schooner Comercio de Rocha, which arrived on the 13th inst. from the east coast of Patagonia, has re ported the following details concerning the wreck of the ship Admiral: “On the 22d of February last news arrived at Montevideo that that the American ship Admiral had gone ashore on the Patagonia coast at a point called Puuta Rosa; we sailed on the following day to assist in saving the cargo of said ship, with a salvage crew of 1G persons. At daybreak on the 2d inst. we sighted the wreck and anchored alongside of her, the* weather being fine. A brief inspection was enough to prove the cer tainty of saving a greater part of her cargo, and also a considerable portion of tho appurten ances of the ship. It was at this period that an unforeseen difficulty was presented, viz, the absence of tho captain from his vessel, he hav ing gone to tho Rio Negro, and given orders on his departure to the third officer and a couple of sailors who guarded the ship, not to allow auything to be taken out of her during his absence. 1 n this way we lost two days of good weather, doiug absolutely nothing, and at 8 p. m. on the 3d inst. we had to sheer oil on ac count of the strong^wind and heavy sea. On the 5th we returned, the sea being smooth, and we again anchored alongside the Admiral, tho captain having arrived dniing our absence, and we immediately consulted with him regarding the salvage of the cargo, who said that no part of it should be touched uutil all belonging to the ship was saved wo were als giveno to un derstand that a schoouer which had arrived from Buenos Ayres prior to our arrival should be loaded first; the offer made to us to carry whatever we put on board to Buenos Ayres was for such an insignificant sum that it did not merit our consideration, taking into account the danger from the exposed condition of the coast and the variableness of the weather; therefore, as we saw no benefit derived from waiting longer, we sailed for Montevideo the same eveaing. As to the condition of the Ad miral when we left her, she was in the same position as on the night ot the 8th of February, nrlion oIia cc f otrnnlr rPli aa a a V, nA/rlirrA*iAA greater part of the rigging bad been damaged and iuutilized by the wind. The ship is strand ed on h3r keel and is still standiDg in 14 feet of water at low tide, and will prove an advan tageous salvage in good weather.” Since Capt. Howard’s report as above, news has bean re ceived at Montevideo that the schooner which had arrived at the wreck from Buenos Ayres had been totally lost after taking on board part of the cargo. The United States gunboat Frol ic, Commander Kirkland, had been ordered to the scene of the disaster on account of difficul ties which had occurred among the crew. Later —The Froiic has returned from the wreek which had been sold, with all the cargo on board, for $5000 to .some house in Buenos Ayres. Military. The Adjutant General has issued the follow iug general orders: STATE OF MAINE. Adjutant General’s Office, Augusta, April 19, 1877. General Orders, No. 3, I.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT HOLMAN’S LIVER PAD _ HOLMAN’S LIVER AMD AGUE PAD is marvellous in its prompt and radical cure for every species of I.iver and Stomach difficulties. It contains only harmless vegetable compounds, and is worn Exactly Where Needed, over the vitals, the Liver and Stomach. It removes torpidity ol the liver, and arouses the stomach from its dormant state, arresting fermentation, torpor and pain, by giving It the natural quantity of bile and gastric juice. It also vitalizes the entire system with Kature's true tonic. It at rests all deteriorated and poisonous fluids in the stomach, and thus prevents their entering the system by way ol circula tion. It absorbs lrom the body every particle of Blood Poison, wheth er bilious, malarial or medicinal, and leaves the wearer In perfect health. Holman Liver Pad Co. 82 Devonshire Street, April 10.1877. Gentlemen: I am happy to state that your Liver Pad has produced good results. Like many others, t was cautious about trying anything new; but the arguments seemed so forcible that I was induced to try it. Since usiug it myself, l have recommended it to several others, who have derived very beneficial results from it. You are at liberty to make use of this, if it will help persuade some of the doubting suflerers to try the Pad. Very respectfully, William F. Griffin. _ _ Milk Bow, Somerville, March 31,1877. 3 he noLMAN Liver Pad Co. Gentlemen: I have been suffering for eighteen months with constant headaches, indigestion, liver com plaint, and a complication ofdiseases. I have worn your nail now about 14 days, and all I have to say is, I would not be put back where I was a fortnight ago for a thousand dollars. I am so grateful for the relief the pad has afforded me, no words can express my gratitude. Yours very respectfully, H. B. BAKER, Boston Lowell, B. R. _ 0 1KEMONT ROW. BOSTON. Holman Liver Pad Co.: Gents—For over 26 years X have been subject to liver disease, and ior the past two years have had the dyspepsia in the worst form, so that 1 could not eat anything but that it would almost kill me and keep me awake halt the night with a hard throbbing of the heart, and nothing seemed to cure me. I picked up one of your bills on the street, and having tried one of Holman’s Liver Pads can safely say that it has done me a wonderful lot ot good. My food has not hurt mo since I’ve put it on, and I have improved in health. IS. Byron Dunsuee, Photographer. _ T _ _ 1 Bclfisch Place, Boston April 101877. Tde Holman Liver Pad Co.s Gentlemen—Having been a sufferer for many years with dyspepsia and irregular action of the liver, which has caused me to suffer untold misery, also headaches, and having exhausted the skill of the best known physicians who have tried all the medicine usually and unusually given iu Bucbteases, and as a last resort they recommended sea voyages, which advice I have followed, crossing the Atlantic twice in a year, all to litile purpose; I was induced to try one of Holman’s Liver Pads and have worn it for the last two months, with wonderful results. I can say 1 am a well woman; can eat any thing without disagreeing with me, and X think it a duty to my fellow suffers to state these facts, and in doing so would say to every one suffering from any of the numerous diseases arising from a torpid liver to try one of Holman’s Liver Pads. They are a boon to humanity and will prove a death blow to old systems of dosing with Injurious medicines. God speed the pad. 1 trust ere long every man and woman through the world will know there is such a remedy for so many diseases flesh is heir to. With heartfelt thanks to you and gratitude to God for what the Pad has doue tor me, I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully, E. WALSH. Office of A.
