Ovr RELATIONS WITH Sratn oN THE CUnaw QuEsTIoN—European Facts and Opinis Tt Famored in Madri | Seep to the it Tance desires that Cuba be retained by Spain. Prim, 1 is said, has had a second ‘interview with Napoleon, snd Lord Clarendon, the British foreign secretary, has also had another interview with the Emperor. Napoleon, it is pei geraicoy gives Prim the good advice to dispose of Cuba while the Spanish nation can do so with honor, and warns him to beware of his own experience with regard to Mexico. General Prim has left Paris for Madrid, where he will arrive to-morrow. A decree prociaim. ing liberty of worship in Ouba will appear in the official Gazette at Madrid to-day. 1t is robable Becerra or Romero will be sent to Juba to resolve on the spot all questions of administration. The embarkation of rein forcements for Cuba has commenced. It confidently asserted that Admiral Topete will command the fleet. ‘The Spanish press has been in a ferment of excitement and indignation since the presenta- tion of General Sickle’s note. Some of the journals abuse the American Minister sadly. ‘They say he was sent there solely vecause he was known to be astrong partisan of Cuban annexation. General Sickles emphatically denies the assertion that his mission refers only to Cuba. He insists that he has never broached the question of the cession of the island to the United States, but merely hinted that the Ameriean Government is willing to interpose its friendly offices for the settlement of Spain's difficulties with Cubs. The London press is absorbed in the discus- Sion of the Spanish-American question, in which the possibility of war between the two nations and a necessity of a change of attitude on the part of the United States upon the Alabama question are the leading points of consideration. in the event of the recognition of Cuban independence by the latter. The Spectator and Saturday Review speak of the Weak and unsettled condition of Spain; of the necessity which exists for her to keep her army heme if any stable Government is to be maintained; of her depleted treas- Ury, and of the impossibility of that coun- try, in the present state of affairs, waging a successful war against one of the greatest powers on earth. The prevailing tone of all the articles is that if the United States means seriously to interfere in behalf of Cuba the Island is hepelessly lost to Spain. A MAN Boriep Att Thirty Hours under Ground.—A laborer, named Carter, wasem- ployed to go down to the bottom of a well, on Long Isiand, for the purpose ef fixing the pump. He had’ just completed his work and was about to ascend, when the well sudden- ly caved and buried bim from sight at a dis- tance of nearly forty feet from th Tface, A large number of men immediately volan- lecred for the purpose of digging _nim out, Sitve, as °scveral tons Of earth and: ‘stone bad filled the well. The work was prose- cuted with vigor ali night, the workmen find- it necessar; wo ing y “shore” up the well as they descended. Tharsday morning the men at work were startled by hearing the man at the bottom of the well cailu a ee dee] to hurry up, as he wae at the P im water, and closely wedged in on all sides and unable to move. A two-inch iron pipe was immediately run down to him, and by this means he wi ogo with air and the work- men were enabled to converse with him. It seems that the well in caving in formed an arch immediately above his head. Additional gangs of men volunteered, whe worked ener- getically all day, but Thu! night had not succeeded in reaching him. The unfortunate man had been in the well over thirty hours without food. He only complained of being very sleepy. PREMATUBRE BURIAL.—A terrible story, re- ported trom Agen, and attested both by a doc- tor and by the Directeur des Pompes Funebres, shows that fears of premature burial in France are not unfounded, im consequence of the law commanding interment within 24 hours after death. A young lady of Agen died about a year go, and was buried im the cemetery of Ssinte ‘ol. A few days since her mother also ex- pired, having, before her death, expressed a wish to repose in the same con with her daughter. A large coffin was constructed to contain the two cor and the body of the young lady was exhumed. It was then discovered that the winding-sheet had been torn open, and the right hand, which was dis. engaged from its folds, was deeply marked with bites. On the lid of the coffin were some marks made with the crucifix which lay on her breast, and the whole circumstances of the case left po doubt that the unfortunate lady had been @ victim to the horrors of premature burial. Intense excitement prevails in the neighborhood, and an official inquiry is to be made on the subject. DgsPERaTE SvicIpE.—On Friday night, as the Peoria express freight train on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific road left the station at Morris, 111., a young man named Gray, a son of a clergyman of that place, threw himselt be- fore the engine on the track, and the locomo- tive, tender and three cars ran over him, cut- ting off both his legs near the body, and’ tear. ing him in the most horrible manne He was alive when last heard from, but were no hopes of his recovery.

This Afternoon’s Dispatches, —_.+—_—_ IMPORTANT FROM PARAGUAY Lopez Defeated and the War i Liszon, Sept. 20.—The mail steamer from Rio Janeiro has arrived with important intel- ligence. Dispatches received at Rio from Asuncion to August 15th report that the allies have cap- tured Ascurra and Piribebin. President Lo- z has fled, and the Paraguayans cannot longer continue the struggle. A provincial government bas been installed at Ascunsion. The above news caused great rejoicing ia Brazil and the Argentme Confederation. The war was considered to be an nd the cities of Buenos Ayres, Montevideo aud Rio Janeiro were lilumimated. Hon.

One passenger, named William Mabee, of To- wanda, Pa., was killed outright, and another bassincedied. Nelson W. Ackley, of Dashore, Pa.,the Republican candida‘e for the Legisia- ture from that district, and several others were injured; Mrs. Zelinda Spalding, of Milan, Pa, and George Beers, the fireman of the express train, seriously. Other persons were slightly wounded. The way engine had stopped tc take water, and, owing to a dense tog, the engineer of the ex- press train was unable to see the flag sent back to notify him of the danger abead. Of ficers of the road and many physicians are on the ground. The wounded are well cared for, and will recover. A coroner's inquest Will be held on the bodies to-day. The road will be cleared for the passage of trains by noon. There is much excitement at Athens, THE LONDON PRESS ON THE SPAN- ISH-AMERICAN QUESTION, Lonpon, Sept. 20.—The Post this morning says: It now appears that America only made friendly representations to the Madrid Government im favor ef the reasonable de- mands of Cuba. Probably Napoleon's advice to the Regency is that Spain should act consid. erately towsrd Cuba, andso disarm American inflaence.” The French Government favors 8 conciliatory policy at Madrid, and non-inter- vention at Washington. The Standard says that Prim’s attempt to in- duce England and France to join in a protec- tionate for Cuba has totally failed. THE SITUATION IN FRANCE. Loxpon, Sept. 20.—The Paris correspondent of the Times says that the Emperor's recovery bas caused a luli in the flery debate which has begun between the party of the Empress and the friends of the Prince Napoleon. The rivalry already displayed by each faction gives & foretaste of what is in store for France ‘when the death of the Emperor lets his family loose and gives up the State to their unseemly discords PACIFIC COAST ITEMS.

And further, it is pertinent to say that so many in Tennessee who were at the most outspoken Union men have proved untrue and have turned back to the “flesh pets of Egypt,” betraying the too generous friends who had warmed them into life, that I can only Ask that the Re- Publicans of the nation will trust Tennessee Politicians as far as they prove themselves trustwoathy, and no further.

A_SINGULAR PHENOMENON, German Correspondent says: “A singular phenomenon has been witnessed in the vicinity of a village in Upper Austria. Cn Thursday, the 19th inst., the soil covering several yokes of iand in the neighborhood of Moll, a few leagues from the town of Steyer, suddenly fell im with a crash ‘like thunder, and where the oats were waving a few seconds pefore, there suddenly appeared @ lake. The water of this newest addition to Upper Auatrian scenery is clear, its temperature is very low, aud it is said tobave much resemblance to that of the glacier lakes. Though the river Steyer passes the place at no great distance, it does not appear that any communication exists between them; at all events, there is reason to believe that the lake received no contribution to its waters be possible.

He was an admirable climber, and to keep himself im condition he started one morning to ascend the Shreiknorn, one of the most formidable among the Swiss peaks. Elliott bad without difficuity got near to the top before he made a fatal slip. in some places the ascent 1s rendered difficult by loose ice, which affords so treacherous a foothold as to imperil the safety even of dexterous climbers. Elliott, however, was not overcome by that danger. 1t was his skill as‘ moun- taineer that led to death. He was what is called & good “rock-man,” @ capital leaper from oint to point, with @ true eye ‘ure foot. lightirg.as men do, in the exercise of his skill, he made an unneci And, a8 it proved, & fatal spring. His foot slipped; despite his own efforts and those of bis guides tostop him- self, he shot down the face of the Shreikhorn ; and to shoot down that peak is to go with the certainty of fate toa fearful death. Elliott had neglected the usual precaution of tying himself to bis guide by means of a rope, bacause, it is said, he shrank from imperiling any other life beside his own.
