THE SEVEN PINES CEMETERY. | This beautiful nationa cemetery, which has | just been completed, and which contains the | remains of our soldiers who fell in the actions of Fair Oaks and Seven Pines during the cam- paign of McClellan in 1 was characteris- tically dedicated by very appropriate patriotic ceremonies on the morning of the Zid of June. At early dawn a large number of the residents of the vicinity assembled at the cemetery, and at sunrise the star spangled banner was run | up on the ctaff in the centre of the cemetery by | Mr- W. W. Wirt, wife of the superintendent in charge, and seyeral national airs were sung by the company. AN IMPORTANT LEGAL WORK.

Chili, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador are said to have formed a league to free Cuba from Spain, and application has been made to Ve- neznela and Columbia to jein the allianee. The three first named to furnish the money and the others the men, while hopes are enter- tained of help from the United States, by im- migration of southerners through Florida. Advices from Bogota announce the installa- tion of the new president, Mosquero. He dis- approved the act of Congress making certain annuities to nuns in consideration of the con- fiscation of their property. The Senate in. sisted on its measure. The result was that an armed mob paraded the streets, entered the Senate chamber, and compelled Oongress to sanction the veto of the sident. This is thought to be the first step towards Mosquero declaring himself permanent dictator. Destructive Fire im the Oil Region. LoviIsviLyg, Pa., July S— Last night, during a thunder storm, the lightning struck a gas Ripe in the Western Union Telegrapn well. be fire quickly communicated to the tank, which exploded. The oil ran down to Bem. boft Run, causing the flames to communicate with several otber tanks. which, in turn, ex- ploded, and caused one of the heaviest con- | fagations the oil regions ever experienced. Between eighteen and twenty large pro- ducing wells were burnt up, including two or three large flowing wells. Among which were the Sheridan and Western Union Tele- graph wells. The Sheridan well had eight or nine tanks filled with oil destroyed. As far as weean learn twenty thousand barrels of oil were destroyed.

The news from Europe which we print elsewhere is of great interest. The Italians have lost more than they bave gained by their late aggressive movement, having been forced to recross the Mincio with heavy Joss. Still they are not disheartened. The success of Austria in repulsing this attack upon her Southern frontier, however, by the deteat of Victor Emanuel at Verona, dos not compen- sate her for the advantages she has lost in not anticipating the late prompt and bold move- ments of the Prussians. By allowing these movements Austrin has not only sustained great damage but disheartened her allies Prussia seems to be always ready to take ad- vantage of the blunders or negligence of her adversary, and thus she has, it appears, sur- rounded the Hanoverian army, which at last accounts Was on the eve of capitulation. In Engiand political affairs are unsettled In consequence of the late hostile yote in the House of Commons the ministry nave resigned, and their resignations been accepted by the (Queen. Lord Derby 1s named as the head of the new administration, with Lord Stanley as Foreign Minister. WHITE HOUSE. The President is not so well to-day as usual and was too much mdisposed to receive vis- itors. The confinement to the Executive Chamber during this hot weather, where he is ever ready to listen to the requests of all who seek an interview with him, has proven too e\ hausting for even his vigorous constitu tion. Although be cannot be said to be ill, yet ashort season of quiet is necessary to re- store him te that full vigor which enable- bim ordinarily to turn off such animmenseamoant of work. ALLEG OUTBAGES IN VIRGINIA. The Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bu- reau has received intorn n of alleged out- rages committed on the persons of colored people in Middleburg, Loudoun county, Va. In ope iustance aman named Charles Dayis. a resident of Middleburg, assaulted Sidney Sheppard, a colored man, by beating him with a pistol. while others stood by, also armed with pistols. Davis remarked at the time that he had been imprisoned for murdering a man, and that be intended to kill all the colored people in Middleburg. A MARINE GUARD SENT TO PORTLAND The Secretary of the Navy ‘received a tele. gram on Saturday afternoon trom the Mayor and other prominent citizens of Portland re- questing aguard of marines to aid in protecting the city. and in accordance therewith a guard of 77 marines was dispatched from Portsmouth Navy Yard that evening. THE ARMY BILL. The House to-day passed the Schenck (House) substitute for the Senate Army Bill. The Senate, meantime, is pegging away at its Army Bill. So, of course, it will require the work of a Committee of Conterence to come to some agreement. INDIAN TREATY CONCLUDED. Commissioner D. N. CG y has just re. ceived information from Newton Edmunds, Governor and ex-ofticio Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Dacotah Territory, dated “Steamer Ben. Johnson, Fort Rice, D. T.. June 24th, 1466,” in which he says that the Commission arrived at Fort Rice on the Thursday previous. It found 650 lodges ot Indians, of the following tribe; Yancton- ut Heads, Uncpapas, Ogallallas, San- tees, &c. On the next day he expected to con- clude a treaty with the Sisseton and Wahpe- ton bands of Santees, and hoped to leave in the alternoon for Fort Berthold. The best of feeling prevailed, not only towards the Government but towards each other. He had never seen Indians behave better or manifest such uniform good feeling tewards the whites in his life. Every possible pains had been taken to make an equitable distri- bution to them, and they are not only fally satisfied of this fact, but seem to fairty ap- preciate that justice bas been done to ala. TyYPoGRAPHICAL BLUNDER.—The printed reports made Mr. Darling of New York say in Congress, the other day, in his enlogy ot his 1 te colleague, Mr. Humphrey, that ‘-his gen- uemanly spirit winged its way to his Maker.” The omission of a single comma did the mis- chiet. What he did say was, that “without a struggle or a groan the gentle, mazly spirit of James Humphrey was wafted into the pres- ence of his Maker.” PERSONAL.—Commissioner Barrett, of the Pension Office, ha~ returned from his visit North, much improved in health. r. Thomas Pearson, Chief Clerk of the Pension Office, will start this evening on a visit to Massachusetts, and expects to be gone until the first of August. NEW PaTENTS.—There will be issued by the Patent Office, during the week ending July 1th, 151 new patents. ReEcovERED.—Senator Morrill is sufficient- ly recovered to be in his seat again to-day. INTERNAL REVENUE.—The receipts trom this source to-day were $1,139,734.89. Gen. KILPATRICK.—The Albany Evening Journal says the investigation into the conduct of Gen. Kilpatrick, Minister to Chili, shows that there ie no truth in the shameful charges made by the newspapers against him. ‘EXXIXTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. « Monpay, July 9.
