17. A dispatch from Havana, of the lo'lh, gives the story of the capture of. tho Vir ginius, as obtained from Spanisli sources, and says the most remarkable igiture 01 the capture was the absolute non-resistance of the Virginius when overhauled. The Tornado was cruising on tho lst of October, under sail, about 18 miles from the Cuban coast. In the afternoon she sighted a steamer about six miles distant, heading directly towards her.

The captain ordered steam to be got up, and soon the strange steamer headed for tho coast ot amatca, a distance ot 1j miles, lhc Spanish captain suspected the steamer was the Virginius, and ordered his engineers to get up all the steam possible, even if they burst the boilers, and drive the engines at their utmost speed. The Tornado, under full headway, gained steadilj', but night coming on the Spanish captain feared he should loose the vessel. The moon rising he was enabled by keeping all hands oji deck, at the masthead and in the rigging, to keep in sight until the corvette had neared her sufficiently to bring her guns to -bear. A shot was fired but the stranger made no reply, and four others were fired in succession, the last at 1 P. and immediately the steamer, which had led the corvette a chase of nearly eight hours, hove to.

Two boats were lowered, and without resistance the Virginius was boarded by the Spaniards who took possession by hauling down the American llag which the Virginius had displayed throughout the chase, and hoisted the Spanish flag instead. Captain Fry, in the usual manner, handed over the gte.amcr's papers for examination of the officer in command of Jthe boarding party, and that officer at once took charge of "them, and both vessels wore headed for Santiago de' Cuba.

STILLIVXARI, ZD entit, Successor to Dr. A. CAPEOX, Office in Baker's Block, PINCKNEY MADISON, WIS. 1128novl0dtf Ill Hi rim vim 1 LLulJliill II. The New Richmond Republican learns that a dreadful causality occurred at Bear Trap Lake, in the town of Lincoln, Polk county.

Two young men named respect ively La Moine Sylvester, son of Chas Sylnester, of Lincoln, aged about 18 years, his cousin, Frank A. Syl vester, 20 years old, of Sylvester, Green county, and at the time of the disaster was ennaged in teaching tho Bear Trap school, went out on the lake skating Thursday afternoon, the 6th inst. Soon after leaving they broke through, and all efforts to save them were in vain. Just before the boat crew that went to their aid reached them (having to cut their way foot by foot through the ice), La Moine sank. Their bodies were foe nd next eve ning.

The Hudson Democrat reports that a project is being agitated for the construc- tiog of a pony railway from some point in the First ward, along the lake shore to the track of the W. R. Railway near the small grist mill. It is estimated that the expenses will not exceed $12,000 or $15, 000, and that the stock of the new company would furnish a desirable invest ment. The project meets with favor.

The La Crosse Republican, states that on Thursday, Nov. Olh, at a meeting of the Common Council tho $150,000 bonds votcu to tne lransit lor tne purpose of bridging the Mississippi, were cancelled On Thursday, the 13th, the river was full of anchor ice, which betokens a speedy closing the Mississippi, unless the wreather moderates very soon. The Union states that buckwheat flour is a cash article in the Prairie du Chien market. editor of that paper wants a Grange Thanksgiving turkey. The reformers of Crawford county can well aflord to make him a present of one, we should think.

The LancasterZeraW states that, ac cording to the assessments niade in May and June last, there were then owned in Grant county, 15,700 horses, 40,292 neat cattle, 422 mules, 30,300 sheep and 55,300 hogs. new-made Liberal, congratu- ating an old Democrat in our streets, the day after election, remarked, 'We Liberal Reformers put it to 'em this Re sponse by the other: 'You lie; the Democrats did How we apples swim." -The Mineral Point Tribune came to us last week greatly improved in its typo graphical appcarence. We are pleased to sgc this evidence of prosperity on the part of the Tribune. -The Dodgevillo Chronicle learns that on Monday last about 10 o'clock, the barn belonging to John Sarr, of Highland, was discovered to be on fire, though every effort was put forth to save the property. It was entirely destroyed, together with several small buildings.

One horse, sev- ral hogs, a large amount of oats and corn, and about 200 bushels of wheat. All the property of Joiin.Saar. The loss is about no insurance. This is the second barn that Mr. Saar has lost by fire in less than a year's time.

This last was a new barn just completed. The Richland Republican reports that deer arc quite plenty in that county this seasou. The Reedsburg Free Press states that a boy named Ebenezer Wells, while out hunting a few days ago his gun acci dentally discharged, shattering his right hand so badly that amputation was found necessary. The Black Earth Adcertiser laics that master Harry Holden, a bright young lad of that village, ha3 bought a card printing press and a few fonts of type. The Beaver Dam Citizen says that hardly a week passes but boys from 14 to 10 years of ago are seen reeling on the streets of that city.

Somebody will get themselves into trouble for selling minors liquor. The Watertown Democrat chronicles the death of Mr. John C. Kelley, who died at his residence in the First Ward in that city, Monday morning, November 13th, in the 60th year of his age. lie is an old resident of the town cf Watertown, having resided there since 1849.

He was frequently elected to fill local offices, and was Clerk of the Circuit Court two terms. The Janesville Gazette reports lion A. C. Bates, of that city, celebrated his 57th birthday a few days ago. Some fifty persons were present On.

the morning of Oct. 6th, the residence of Horace Root, about a mile west of that city, was consumed by fire, together with Mrs. Ke-ziah Root, wife of Horace. The remains of the unfortunate woman were found in the ruins of the building partially burned, and they were that day interred in Oak Hill cemetery. Subsequent deycl-opements regarding the affair induced the authorities to take steps for an inquest.

The remains have been disinterred and carefully examined. An inquest is being held, suspicions falling upon Mr. It. The medical testimony has a bad appearance. The Sharon Inquirer states that another of those fatal accidents from handling a pistol occurred at Palmyra last week.

Two men named Blackmoou and TnoRN had been examining a pistol and had discharged all the chambers, and laid it down'; when another man steps up and puts in a cartridge. Blackmoor picks it up, and supposing it empty, snaps it, when it goes off, TnoRN receiving the contents in his bowels, and dying the night after. The Waukesha Democrat suggests the name of Gen. Gabe Bouck for Speaker of the Assembly, and Rev. George Washington Peck of the La Crosse Lib-eral Democrat, for Seargent-at Arms.

The Sentinel states that Milwaukee is still infested with sneak thieves: supply the place made vacant in their line by the foundering ot the Ironsides, the Engelmann Transportation Company have just consummated the purchase of the handsome propellor Minneapolis, from Capt. Eber Ward, of Detroit, for the consideration of $90,000. Twenty dwellings were burned at St. Johns, on Friday, rendering thirty families homeless. Duncan Cargill, a son of II.

Abraham Beam was murdered in his barn at' Middletown, Friday evening, by two negroes, who subsequently endeavored to enter the house, where were stopping an old lady and a young man. The authorities are in pursuit of the murderers. Gustavo Johnson left Pomeroy, Iowa, for his home near Fort Dodge five weeks ago, and has never been heard from. He had $100 in money and notes for several hundred more about him. He is thought to have been murdered.

On Monday evening, L. W. Hallock, W. Hallock and Arnot Noll, young men of Detroit, went to the St. Clair flats to shoot and fish.

Their boat was picked up empty by a passing propeller on Thursday. One of the Hallocks was found alone, but altogether too exhausted to speak. It is feared that the other Hallock and Noll are lost. It is said that the minds of the fathers of the two boys have been unsettled by the accident. In the Singer shops at South Bend, Friday, forty pounds of molten babbit metal exploded, ana was thrown upon three men who were setting the boxing of a line of shafting.

Their names are E. S. Babcock, J. S. Erway, and J.

31. Asire. The two latter received 'the metal full in the face and were horribly burned. It is very doubtful if they recover from their injuries. A man named-Joe Ileinricks was found hanging dead in the Court House Jail at lied ing, on baturday morning.

lie was one of the prisoners confined there, having been bound over for six months, same months ago to keep the peace. His residence was at Hav Creek, and his of fense was threatening the lives of his family and smashing all the furniture in the house. It was known by his fellow prisoners that he had meditated suicide for several days. At the flouring mill of Weigner Weig- ncr. at Uonclson, JLce county, lowa, on Thursday, in the absence of the engineer, one of the proprietors of the mill took upon himself the responsibility of running the engine.

Having had no experience in that capacity, he allowed the water to get too low, ami an explosion was the result. The building was partially blown down, and the machinery rendered worthless. The damages are reported to be aqout $9,000. So great was the force of the explosion, that the entire building was nioued a distance of several inches from its former position. Four men and a boy were in the mill at the time.

All of them were injured to some extent, but it is thought they will recover. 0 A Daughter of Colonel Babcock Shot by lint Husband. A New Ycrk dispatch of the 15th has the following: Duncan T. Templeton shot his wife this morning winie tney wrere wanting togeui-er on Fortieth street, at Eighth avenue. Mrs.

Templeton is a daughter ot Colonel Babcock. ot President Grant's stall. It seems that the husband and wife have not ived happily together for some moaths, and during the past week Templeton was absent from their bearding house. No. 238 West Fourteenth street.

He called this 1 morning, However, aoouc uwu ciock, and at 10 the two lelt the House together. While going down the street Mrs. Templeton is said to have twice informed an officer that her husband was abusing her, but he did not feel warranted in interfer ing. Soon afterwards the officer was at- racted by the report of a pistol, and saw Mrs. Templeton fall.

He secured the husband, and had the woman taken to her boardincr house, and physicians were called. Her wound was not fatal, but Mrs. Templeton was permanently disfigured. The parties were married three years ago, and have one child. Templeton is from Cincinnati, and aged 27 his wife is 20.

An Outspoken Democrat Endorses George B. Smith. The Prairie du Chien Courier says: Hon. Geo. B.

Smith made a speech at the Capital of Wisconsin last week that has the genuine, old-fashioned ring of Truth about it. We take off our hat to such men and respect their words, for they are undisguised, and come from the heart at the bidding of a fearless will. The time for cunning humbugs has gone out of date with the decline of the Radical party. Best call things by their right name. There is no such thing as a "Liberal Reform Party" that is not included in true Democracy.

Say what you may we are all either Democrats or Republicans, and Hon. Geo B. Smith of Madison, is one of the few who have the manhood to say just what they think. List of Letters, Remaining unclaimed in the Post Office at Madison. Wisconsin, on the 17th day of November, A.

KEYKS, Pi We publish the following communica tion, written by a gentleman, whose opin ions on the subject treated, ar entitled to respect, as ho has given much attention to financial matters. We endorse the writer as being intelligent on the ques tions discussed, without necessarily cn dorsing the positions he takes.

Let him speak Messrs. Editors: Owing to the pres ent financial troubles, we anticipate at tempts in our coming Congress, to make radical changes in the National Ban! Law, and while every one has a rcmcdv. many of which arc worse than the dis ease, we can but believe that the natura course ot bussness will worK its own cure, and the less of legislative action we have, the better for the country as whole. The currency is admitted to be the best ever circulated good beyond a doubt, and in no case have we heard of the fail ure of a National bank, which would not have occurredat a later period perhaps but certainly would have taken place, under any system that ever lias been, or can be devised. The reserve fund which has been com plained of, as out of circulation; was in many instances used during the late press ure, as of Bright it ought to have been, and the necessity of this provision has been fully demonstrated.

This 000 of reserve is the only "flexible" fea ture of the present law, and had it not been thus at command, the failures would have been tenfold. The prevailing idea of "a flexible cur rency" seems to us most oojectionauie, and tends directly to a postponement of specie redemption. If we ever expect to return to a specie basis as we should, values must be lessened. A currency that may be increased or diminished at pleasure, according to the actual or imaginary wants of a speculative people, necessarily keeps currency values equalized if not inflated, while a steady gold standard would be real alike in foreign or domes--tic trade. We have been let down in speculations, in prospective are coining down to the actual worth material and labor, and the country groans thereat but our people can conform to more econom ical expenditures, and if no more curren cy is auueu to me yoiunic, tn ciguteen months we can see the gold bottom.

Then, if not before, we shall know the benefit. As for resumption of specie payments, it is only necessary for the Government to redeem its "greenbacks," and the banks have then virtually redeemed. The process is simple, but at this time the experiment would fail if tried, as it so ately did in the attempt to pay silver. Conservative. Legislature of 1874.

It has been generally claimed by the Republican press that the reason why the ftcent election resulted in a llepublican defeat was because of the negligence of Republican voters. That this is the case seems to be proved by the following tabic of the result in Dane county, the homo of Mr. Taylor, would be likely to be as unfavorable as any in the State where no special disaffection to the Republican ticket existed. The table is based npon the supposition that the vote of 1872, when Gkant and Greeley were candidates for the Presi dency, represented the full vote of parties although the aggregate voto was not as large then as in 18G8, when Grant ran against Governor Seymour, at which time the vote of Dane county was something over ten thousand. The table gives the vote of each town for Grant and Greeley in 1872, and the vote of Washburn and Taylor in 1873, also the number of Republican and Dem ocratic voters in each town who appear to have staid at home, or for other causes refrained from voting.

The Democrats gain on the vote for Greeley, in Cottage Grove 41, Ferry 5, Primrose 5, Rutland 1C, Stoughton 89, Sun Prairie village 2, Vermont 4, Windsor 27, and York 9.

In Cottage Grove and Stoughton village, and perhaps a few other places, Mr. Taylor was voted for by some of the Republicans who voted the Republican ticket in the main. The above may not represent the number staying at home in those places exactly, but a3 the same may be said as to Gov. Washburn's gains in this city, the table ill be found to be substantially correct. It will be seen that Republican voters neglected to vote, while but 537 Democrats staid away; 808 more Republicans staid away from the polls than Democrats enough to have reversed the result in Dane county, and to have carried the county by the usual majority.

Dane county is Republican to the core; but Republicans must tote in order to prove it. "Let the Wolf Howl." The Milwaukee Regency is excited over the prospect of controlling some patronage. It is intoxicated with the approach of power, and shows unusual insolence. Its mouth-piece, the JVeics, says of Governor Washburn's appointment of State Prison Directors; "It is a shameless and corrupt usurpation of power, which must not, and shall not be permitted to stand." The law says the Governor shall appoint Directors, and adds "Said Directors shall be appointed and commence their duties on the first day of January, 1874." The new Governor is to be inaugurated January 5th. The Governor, therefore, has but performed his sworn duty in the matter, and the Milwaukee Regency of greedy jobbers and place hunters know-it.

They are moved to cry out now simply from a voracious hunger for the spoils. That is what ails them. That howling gorilla, old Bourbon-ism, seems to think that it already has its great dirty Democratic thumb mn the throat of its victim. But it "must and shall" obey the.statutes, while Republicans control, so let it roar and beat its breast and gnash its teeth in its native jangle, until it gels possession of the State Prison by due course of law. No Great Victory.

The result of the election in New York was not much ot a Democratic victory after all. Both branches the Legislature are Republican, and the official returns as far a3 received, indicate the election, of the Republican candidates for Comptroller and State Prison Inspector. Even the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State, for whom a majority of from 15,000 to 25,000 has been noisily claimed, now appears 10 have a majority of only about Too Bio a Job. Reformer Rindskoff is credited with a remark to the effect that when he was out here to the great Reform demonstration a week ago, he found an astonishing number of office-seekers in the Reform ranks, who seemed to think, as Mr. Rindskoff of the Milwaukee Liquor League expressed it, "Because I elecfed Taylor I could get them all a place," but the potent Reformer declared they were too many for him.

No Night Report. The pews in our telegraph columns to-day is meager, as we had no night dispatches Saturday or Sunday night.

Potter. The Milwaukee Sentinel says it has the "highest au thority for saying that the course ascribed to Hon. John F.Potter by the Reform papers, during the canvass just closed, was altogether a misrepresentation' that he did not consent to be their, candidate for the Senate, and so stated to the Reform committee that waited on him, and declared that he was not a Reformer, except as all good Republicans are reformers; that he should work and vote for Gov. Washburn, whose election he would do any honorable act to secure. We take pleasure in giving this explanation, and have only to regret that it was not more fully made known before election.

Judge Potter has evinced stern integrity in the past, by a faithful adherence to principle, and we are glad to learn that he remains tru to his old party, and supported its candidates at the late election. The Virginius Victims. It is stated that the entire number of persons on board of the steamer Virginius, captured by the Spanish authorities of Cuba, was 1G3, including officers, crew and passengers. One account says that all of these have been shot, and another states that all of them probably will be shot. A Havana dispatch from Spanish sources says: "The trials of all prisoners taken on board the Virginius have been concluded.

Only eighteen will be saved from death. Of these several are engineers or firemen who were ignorant of the destination of the expedition, and four or five will beset at liberty. The others will probably be condemned tg the chain gang." The press of London deem this Spanish outrage as justifying the United States taking possession of Cuba, and a great many people in this country seeai to be of the same opinion. Mrs. J.

Erway, an Indian woman, died at Flandrcau, a few days since, at the age of 110 years. She was born in Minnesota, and lived at and near St. Paul until 90 years old, when she removed to Redwood county, near Redwood Falls. For some time past she has lived with her grandson, John Moore, near Lake Benton, Lyon county. A few weeks ago she went to Flandrcau, Dakota Territory, to visit a son, at whose house she died.

Medal of Honor. Saturday Geo. F. Robinson received the gold medal awaid-ed him by Congress in 1871 for saving the life of Secretary Seward, when attacked by the assassin Payne, April 14, 18G5. The medal cost $1,400.

Robinson previously received $5,000 cash, also awarded by Congress for the same heroic service. Improving. The Chicago Journal of Saturday says: "This is the liveliest day in business circles that we have seen in this city for several weeks. The recovery of confidence is very apparent. The feeling now is that we have weathered the storm, and that a brighter day is dawning." South America.

THE OFFICIAL STATE PAPER. STATE OF WISCONSIN. By I he fJorrrnor THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION, In accordance with usage and in conformity with the recommendation of tha President of the I'nited States. C. C.

Washburn, Governor of the Stale of Wisconsin, do hereby appoint Thursday, the Z.ta day of November, 1S73, as a day ot thauKgivii, Almichtv 3od. for ceneral health, prosperity and other blessings vouchsafed to the people of tuir State dar the past year. And I earnestly recommend that all the people on that day abstain from their-usual labors and join in worship and praise to the great Author of all irood. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto eet my hand and caused tne Great Seal of the L. S.

State to be affixed. Done at the Capitol in Madison, this seventh day of November, A. isrj. O. C.

WASHBURN. the Governor: r.nEKSE, Secretary of State. The Legislature- We publish elsewhere a list of mem bers-elect to the Legislature, which we think will be found correct. It has been doubtful np to within a day or two who had the majority in the Senate, but complete returns giving Field a majority in every county in the 32d district ex-Clark put the IJepublicaus one ahead. The opposition have 20 majority in the Assembly.

The Sabbath Question. On the inside of this paper wo give a long article written by our highly re-specte friend Zrx.v Gilbert of Christiana, in which he discusses the Sunday question from his standpoint a seventh-day Baptist. It purports to be in reply to a discourse of Mr. Kiciiakds of this city, published in our columns some weeks agi. It will be read with- interest by many, who may not agree with Mr.

Gil-jjKttT in his conclusions. We ask for this communication, an attentive perusal. Its great length and a press of other matter, lias prevented its earlier publication; and it is matter that would keep without beiny hurt. National Banks What They Carry When -there is a stringency in money matters, the Banks usually come in for a full of abuse. While we arc no de-lender of Banks, we like to sec justice dene at all times and to all things.

In this view, it is well enough to know what the Banks carry of Government Bonds; of United States Treasury notes, and how their profits compare with the gains in other branches of business. From the last official Ileports, a friend has us the following iteiss, which are facts, ami may prove of interest to our readers: S. I'onds to'secure circulation JsiSJ.Oli.cOO I lioiKiM to secure uov. I'. S.

Bands toscare other than above 12,144,050 Total Ilonds carried by Banks $10,064,300 l.esal tender notes $105,121,101 S. per cent, certificates 7, 114,000 V. S. certilicates of deposit with Treas. Total Thus, the Banks are carrying, for the United States Fire Hundred and tirenty-right millions of dollars.

The ratio of earnings to capital and surplus, averages less than o1 per cent, for six months, and has never equalled 5Z per cent, for any six months since the organization of the National Banking sj'stem. Our Banking system may be improved; but as it is, the country never had a better, in our opinion. In all former panics, the currency has been almost worthless. Now it is not impaired in the least. A National Bank bill is good anywhere, and will be, so long as le United States remain god.

This is an immense relief to the people. What money they have in National Banks bills is good tor its face, and cannot prove otherwise. Jollification in Milwaukee. The old Bourbons held a jolification in Milwaukee on Friday evening last, to rejoice over the recent triumph Jin Wisconsin. The meeting was presided over by that eminent reformer, of the Xeics, Geo.

Potter, Samuel Rindskopf, ex-Mayor Kirby, Steven Marston, Sat Clark, etc. These discordant elemcnls made up a very amusing meeting, in which, from all accounts, the Bourbon clement was largely in the ascendency. Some Republicans who attended the meeting, speak of it as affording rich fun. AVe had hoped to give a full report in this issue, but the notes of our special reporter did not arrive until too late for to-daj'. They will appear to-morrow.

Correction. By the mistake of a compositor in adding a 3 to the Republican majority in Monroe county Saturday instead of replacing an 0 with 3, the majority in that county was made about ten times too large, and the error being overlooked in proof reading and adding, the AY as burn vote was put 1170 too much.
