WHY THE CONFEDERACY FAILED. Robert Tansill, formerly Captain of the U. §. Marine Corps here, and Colonel of the late Confederate Army, has published a ee a in bis opimon, which le ry Saere of the Confederate States to achieve their independence, ascribing as such the want of a wise and just policy in directing | bravery and patriotism of the people, the pea of tid ccceding prior to March, 1861; the fatal policy of placing too much reliance be orto | foreign rec ition and succer; the error 0 Gontederate Congress in issuing an immense ede de pew eh ren pn eta AT ANY, Policy ofenlisting men in the incipiency of the ‘war but for one year; the prejudicial influence of slavery upon the cause; old political fends and animosities; and lastly and mainly the terrible bardships and miseries which the army ‘were required toendure dnring the last year @nd 2 half of the war.

LATER FROM EUROPE. Progress of the Cholera—Lerd Palmerston's Funeral—American Securities. Fartukr Point, Noy.6.—The steamer Pe- pty from Londonderry on the 27th, has ar- rived. The cholera had entirely disa) from Barcelona, Valencia, and Baleric nds. At Madrid fifty cases had occurred on the 23d of October, of which thirty two proved fatal. Lord Paimerston’s funeral preparations are rapidly approaching completion. The Queen's carriage Will lead the cortege. The pail bear- ers will be ten Cabinet ministers. The Prince of Wales attends at the Abbey. Business will be generally suspended. It is reported that Lady Palmerston isto be created a peeress -in her own right. — Queen Victoria is expected to reach London from Scotland on the morning of the 29th, and the ministerial arrangement will be submitted to her on the 30th. The Morning Post is apparently going into opposition, and it says the feeling of the coun- ty toward Ear! Russell's Ministry will be one oft fotal apathy, and the country will see little to praise or condemn. It will be no easy mat- ter to reconstract his party in the House of Commons, but he must certainly introduce some fresh ees to retain the majority nominally acquired. The London Herald says if Russell makes any radical move the conservatives will cer- tainly lose no opportunity to checkmate him. Satterth warte’s Circular of the 25th October says the market has been steady until this | morning, when prices gave way on large sales. | Five-twenties had improved during the week, but declired from former qnuotagions, closing at 63X64. Illinois and Erie shares were also | much depressed, the former having at one time sold as low as 2, but slightly recovered, closing at s2yasex. Atlantic and Great Wes- tern bonds steady during the week. The steamer Etna which sailed from Liver- ton the 25th brings intelligence that the Yondon Times, which at first favored Glad- sthre, had rather veered around, making it appear that the only reason + ee Badr etili76 settie with America to their matual satisfaction, and Russell was well posted on the subject, and hada reputation to lose by base compliances or needless war, and, viewed in this light, he was necessary. ———$—$—— New York Markets.

WIRZ. a Aa HIS SENTENUE READ TO HIM. ie peri WHAT HE SAID. ——_@——— HE THREATENS TO “HAUNT HIS PER- SECUTORS.” ——_o—__—— VISIT OF FATHER BOYLE. ————_——_— The sentence of Wirz was read to him yes- terday afternoon by General Auger, command~ ing this Department, who proceeded to the prisoner's room, accompanied by Uapt. Rus- sell, Provost Marshal, and Uapt. George R. Walbridge, commandant of the prisou. Gen. Auger, in a few words, at once informed the prisoner of the nature of his unpleasant er- rand, and proceeded to read the sentence. The prisoner listened to the reading with considerable composure, apparently having prepared himeelf for it, and at the conclusion remarked, “ Well, I suppose it must be done.” in a moment or two he looked across the pas- sage in the direction of General Briscoe's cell, which is opposite the one occupied by him, and called out to him, «General, I’m to be hung.” Before the officers retired Wirz exclaimed, «1"li haunt my persecutors!” Wirzthen asked that Rey. Father Boyle, of St. Peter's (Cath- olic) Church, be sent for; also, Mr. Louis Schade, his counsel, giving the number of Mr. Schade’s residence. In a short time Father Boyle, who had pre- viously visited him during his imprisonment, Was in attendance and talked to him long and earnestly in reierence to the interests of his soul. Father Boyle also spent some time with the condemned man this morning. Wirz says now he knows that his duty is to attend to his spiritual interests and wishes to make his peace with God, but it is difficult for him to forgive tbose whom it is his duty to forgive, but he hopes through earnest prayer to be able before he dies to forgive all and die in peace with all mankind. He now devotes himself to Teading religious works, but does not spend his time in writing as formerly: his right arm, which was wounded during the year 1363, haying become so painful, that it is with difficulty that he can use it. His wife is now in Georgia, having left here some weeks since to attend to her children, the person in whose care she had left them, so as to be at the trial, haying died while she was here. ST AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The monthly report of Commissioner New- ton, of the Agricultural Department, for the month of October has been issued. It contains tables showing the amount, in bushels and tons, of thesummer harvested crops—of wheat, rye, barley, oats and hay, and says: «tis gratifying to find that the thresning of the wheat has shown that the injuries from wet weather were overestimated. In the report for August, the returns of the wheat{crop showed that in quantity and quality there was a deficit of 26,241,695 bushels, but the estimates now made, which are final, exhibit the decrease yaar lsat year’s crop in quantity to be 12,172,994 ushels. «Of the first four crops above named there has been produced in 1863, 1564, and 1863, the following number of bushels: 1863, 385,355,594 bushels; 1664, 367,891,040 bushels: 1865, 404,710,915 bushels. ‘ine increase in the oat crop in 1865 is nearly fifty millions of bushels, and of the hay crop more than five millions of tons. The tables exhibit the fall crops as most abundant; that of corn is all that could be desired; it will be the largest ever grown in the United States, so that plenty of cereal food will bless the country and the labors of the farmer. The corn crop is equally good in the Southern States, and its planting there is so much greater than ordinary. that that section cannot consume but oP age of the amount grown. It can, therefore, devote the next crop season to a greater production of cotton.” NAVAL COURT MARTIAL. The naval court martial of which Vice Ad- miral Farragut is president re-assembled to- day at 12 o'clock. The case of Commodore Craven, U.S. Navy, charged with “failing to do his utmost to cap- ture and destroy a vessel (the rebel ram Stone- Pind which was his duty to haye done,” was en up. Upon the acensed being arraigned for trial the President asked hima ff he hea any objec- tions to any member of the court, when Com. Craven replied that he objected to Capt. Alden, and stated his objection to be that Capt. A. had expressed an opinion. ‘he objection was sustained by the Court, = Capt. Alden was excused from serving on 6 trial. The accused being called upon to plead to the charges and specifications, he asked time before so doing, to allow him ~ pon coun- sel, which was granted, and the Court ad- journed until to-morrow at 11 o’clock. THE NEGRO INSUREECTION AT JAMAICA. The State Department has received adispatch from the United States Consul at Kingston, Ja- maica, apder date of October 16th, in which he alludes to the serious insurrection of the negro population in that Island. There areon the Island about 400,000 inhabitants, of which only 10,000 are whites, about 75.000 mulattoes, and 325,000 blacks. The Consul expresses the be- lief that the present outbreak has been long contemplated, and is intended to be a war of extermination against the whites; and the great disparity of numbers gives the former a great advantage. They haye, too. chosen a time when there are but few English troops on the Island—about 600; and there happens also to be but one small English war steamer there.

LOCAL NEWS. piicaeae ES The Murder of H. B. Grove in Baltimore. ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER—DETEC- TIVES CLARVOE AND MCDEVITT CAPTURE HIM IN THIS CITY. The readers of the Star doubtless recollect the m. prious murder of H. B. Grove in his photographic establishment in Baltimore on Sunday, October 29th. The murdered man was found in his operating room ina state of insensibility, having been shot through the head, and died in a short time. There was nothing to show the motive for the deed or to give the slightest clue to the perpetrator. Mr. Grove at the time of his death had evidently just taken a photograph of his visitor, but the negative was gone. The deceased was also robbed of his watch, chain and other valu- ables, The medical examination disclosed that Mr. Grove was killed by a shot from a ball similar to those fired from the Smith & Wesson pistol, and here the clue terminated. The detectives were at once placed in SSCS~ sion of all the facts thus elicited, and com- menced to work up the case, but failed to ascertain anything leading to the discovery of the murderer until it was learned that a young man named John Clare was in Baltimore at the time of the murder; that he did not go to New York that night as he announced he should do, and that he had since disappeared. Marsha! Carmichael immediately dispatched officer John W. Smith to Washington to secure the services of Messrs. McDevitt and Clarvoe, the celebrated detectives, who soon traced Clare to a house on DV) street, between Ist and 2d streets. The house was closely watched from Seturday UnUI two o'cluck tis morning without finding the suspected party, but at six o’clock this morning the detectives visited the place and found Clare in bed. He manifested some heryousnese at first but soon r ed his self-possession. Under the bed McDevitt dis- covered asmall black carpet bag and asked Clare who it belonged to. The latter said it was the property of the colored woman in the house. In the carpet bag were found a package of papers tied with a gentleman's cravat, and a four-sbooter improved Smith & Wesson pis- tol with one barrel discharged, In reply to McDevitt’s inquiries the prisoner said first that the pistol did not belong to him, then that it was loaded, and final- ly stated that last right he fired one charge atacat. The inmates of the house said they heard no shot coy em night, and upon examining the pistol, cDevitt found the empty copper chamber of the cartridge whieh ad ear fired, not only nearly filled with dust, but its interior completely covered with verdi- gris, showing that at least 8 week must haye ma since it was discharged. y hile these investigations were being made, detective Claryoe turned his attention to the drawer of the washstand, which Clare said contained nothing but old papers. Upon open- ing it there was found, wrapped up, a photo- graphic negative of Clare; upon the discovery of which be seemed much confused, exclaiming “Ob, yes! that was taken at Grove’s, in Balti- more,” and added, after some hesitation, “It Was taken by Mr. Phillips,’ Mr. Grove's as- sistant. An ambrotype of the prisoner was also found in another house, which it ts be- lieved was taken at Grove’s establishment. There were other discoveries made by Messrs. McDevitt and Claryoe and Officer Smith, of equal importance as showing the guilt of the prisoner, but which itis proper at this time to suppress. From articles found on the person of Clare there seems little doubt of his guilt. The oo is about nineteen years old. smooth face, well dressed, and of pleasing ap- pearance. Officers MeDevitt and Clarvoe have dis- played great skill in following ny aon slight clue which led to the arrest, and have disap- pointed the expectations of a large number of detectives who had gone to New York and oth- er cities to search for the murderer. aie ARREST OF BURGLARS—A tity of Stolen Goods Recovered.—Y este afternoon, Officer McColgan found John iiliams and Thomas Foster, colored poys, in Goldstein's pawnbroker establishment in the act of pawn- ing asmall gold watch which answered the deseription of the one stolen from H. M. Prince on the avenue on Saturday night, and took them in custody. Williams, on being taken to the station, was questioned pretty closely by Sergeaut Eckioff as to how be got the watch, and stated that Foster had given it to him to pawn. Foster denied it and abused Williams soundly. Williams went on te state that he went to Canterbury on Saturday night with Foster and George Williams, alias Holt, and afterwards they ke into the store of Hoover & Bro., 3d and G streets, from which they got a quantity ot goods and carried them off. He also stated that the party were concerned in robbing Peterson's, on 3d street, Chas. (iraft's butcher shop, 3d street, ashee store on iith street, near E, and a clothing store on 7th street, and intended to clean out Mrs. Hawkins’s gro- cery, 13th and F streets, last night. The Sergeant, acting on ‘his information, with officers Kelly, McColgan and OCoom proceeded to the houscs named by Williams— Jenette Carter's, near the old gas-house, on the Island, and Susan Bell's. in Tin Cup Alley, where they found a large lot of goods, consist- ing of groceries, clothing, cutlery, &c., with some keys, chisels and other tools. They ar- rested Frank Brown, Joseph Carter, Matthew Holt, Judson Harris, Jobn L. King and John ' Stewart on the charge of being concerned in the burglaries; Jenette Carter for receiving stolen gocds, and Olivia Norris and Lizzie Stewart as witnesses, This morning a partial hearing of the case was had before Justice Walter, at the station- house, when the Messrs. Hoover identified oak ne of the goods they S some of t! Sarah Desnereon's, on 3d_street, and Mr. Mf. H. Prince, his watch. and the Justice com- mitted the whole party to jail for a further aeeyiiiams says thatthe two principals were Wilkes and Foeter; that they made a practice of stealing keys, with which they couid work, and he is determined that they shall not use bim as tLey have done again. ‘These three were arrested on the ch: robbing a shoe store come time since, but released for want of evidence. There is a con- siderable quantity of goods which bas not been identified, and probably more will be recov. ered. The Fourth Ward officers managed the case well, and deserve the thanksof the com- ‘munity. —_e-—— » SAE or Rank Srock.— Yesterday afternoon. ~&. ire & Co., anctionerra, sold $2,400 ation pietrcpoltins Bank stock to J.

The boats do not arrive as fast as then. This delay is no evidence of a falling off in trade; but is prob- ably caused by delay in loading at Cumber- land. We notice the arrival this morning of ©. P.
