The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald last night telegraphed that paper as follows : Dispatches were received this even- ing by Secretary Fish, through Admiral Polo, the Spanish minister, in that city, conveying the important intelligence that the Spanis! government coincides with the agreement made y our Yea in the case of the Virgin- lus. The Spanish government is now con- vinced that the Virginius is prima facia an American vessel, and Was not a legal capture. The Spanish government, there. fore, declares its readiness to restore the vessel to the United States, but gives notice that she will afterwards inquire into her real character, and confidently expects that she will be con. demned for violation of neutrality and other laws, which the Spanish government has been and is now ready to prove against her. The Spanish government further consents to sur- render the surviving prisoners of the Virginius, for the reason that they, like the Virginius, were not a legal capture. Gur government is satis- fied with this, and all that now remains 1s to conclude the concession In the usual diplomatic way by exchange of the written agreements. It Is understood that the da of the surrender of the Virginius is fixed for the 25th of Dacember, (Cbristinas day.) At the reception given by Secretary Fish last night warm congratulations passed at the hap- py terminationof a complication which threat- ened to bring the United States to the verge of war with Spain. The best wishes were ex- pressed for the prosperity of the Spanish repub- ic. Gen. Sherman remarked that he was rejoiced that our government had not impeded the progress that a European repablic was making for permanent existence. Secretary Fish shared the good feeling which pervaded his gucsts, remarking that he was very giad that war had been averted. Secre- turies Kobeson and Belknap congratulated each other that the prospect was so flattering of of their being no need of further warlike pre- parations, The surprise was generally expressed among those not well informed in diplomatic matters that the surrender of an almost worth- less vessel should have nearly involved two nations in war, and Secretary Fish was com- mended on all sides for the happy results of his diplomatic efforts. He has no goubt that the Spanish government will be ablé to enforce ber orders and restore the Virginius to the United States. The Colon‘al Minister, Mr. Soler, now will personally see that the orders in Havani of the home gover) ment are carried out. NAVAL ORDERS.

BE IS FOR CUBA “IMMEDIATBLY, IF NOT SOONER"—SPAIN MUST TAKE THE RESTON SISILITY OF A WAK—SPANISH MISRULE ON THE SLAND—THE FUTURE OF CUBA IF AC QUIRED BY THIS COUNTRY—THE CONDITION OF AFFAIKS IN THE SOUTH. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, ex-Vice Presi- dent of the southern confederacy, and at present R presentative-clect to Congress from the 8th district of Georgia, arrived m the city on Mon day evening last, and took rooms at the National Hotel, his old headquarters when in Congres b fore the war.

Virgin Since his arrival he has been called upon by hundreds of his old friends and ac- quaintances in Washington. He is not enjoying very good health at present, as he is suifering from rheumatism. His general health, however, is perhaps as good as it has been for a number of years past. His journey to Washington from Augusta, which ‘occupied two days and two nights, fatigued him considerably, but he = nevertheless in good spirits, his mind is wholly unimpaired, and he converses with his old-ti ease and brilliancy. A representative of Tue Stax had an hour's pleasant conversation with him a few evenings since, and has his permis. porn publish bis views on the Spanish compli- cation. Mr. Stephens after inquiring the latest news by cable from Madrid, referred to the difficulties under which the republicans labor in Spain in their eftorts to establish a republic. Until the hie of Charles V Spain was one of the freest rations in Europe, and genuine republican principles obtained in many respects. For iustance, the cortes could make no law unles« by a unanimous vote of the representatives of the departments or provinces. The right of local self | adie mos was acknowledged in every province and hence the form of govern ment of Spain before the time of Charles V was essentially republican in many particulars King Charles, however, changed all this. centralized power by buying up the cortes away with the unanimity yote. Since that tim matters have been going on from bad to worse People who have been ro long subjected to op pression have exaggerated and distorted ideas of liberty and republicanism, and when loosed from thé bonds of tryanny commit aii manner of excesses. Mr. Stephens hore in tanced the case of Frai and revie her struggles to establish a republic n this ¢ i the term “commun a misunderstood. The popular mind believes a communist to be an agrarian one in favor of a community of goods, a person who holds ideas at variance with our conceptions of morality and right. A com- mune simply meansa community, aud the lead ing principle which controls is the right of local sell-government. ‘The excesses committed by communists, such as the shooting of priests and nuns, was of course inhuman and inexcusable, and might be said to be the acts of individuals What the people need in such cases are leaders with whom liberty is not a wild impulse, but a calm, cold, philosophical printiple, and thas far in Europe leaders of this kind have been wanting. Theirs is not _a republican but 4 monarchist, aud was unfit to lead the people. He reminded one of the ho i who precede a band of music down the street. At first it looks as if the boys are leading the band, but in reality the band is leading them, and they—it the bull may be excused—“are leading by fol- lowing in front.” Mr. Stephens here digressed to glance at the formation of the American republic which was based upon the great central idea that every state is sovereign—is in fact a republic of itselt— aud that the people of the different states should have the sole management of their local aff a’ He explained the difference between the origi nal articles of confederation and the later con stitution, and referred tothe fact that under the former every state regulated its own affairs, and even fixed the time required for the nata ralization of foreigners, the rate of duties on imports, &c. The great mind of Thomas Jef- ferson saw that it would be better it the st: should delegate some powers of this character tothe general government. The result was the constitution, one of the grandest docament e conceived by the mind of man. Mr. Stephens dilated at_some length on our form of government as originally adopted and expressed bers pene that it was by far the best ever de- viscd. Coming back tothe subject of our Spanish complications, Mr. Stephens said he had been reported correctly when he was represented as being for the acquisition of Cuba “immediately if not sooner.” He has always been in favor of our acquiring Cuba. The rule of the Sp: in that island has been horrible to contemplate. No one but a native of Spain can hold office in Juba. The proudest Castilian may emigrate to nd may hold office, but his sons born on soil are preatuitos from holding even the office of watchman or constable. Spain has been pressing the life-blood out of the Cubans for years. “*Why, sir,” exclaimed Mr. Stephens, “as Ihave said on’ previous occasions, we are simply holding Cuba while Spain skins her!’ Betore the late war in this country the revenues derived from Cuba or Spain amounted to about $25,000%00. The pres. ent population of the island is about 1,%0,- 000. Now, if the United States had Cuba the population might soon be inereased tentold. and the revenues would swell to $100,000,000. The incorporation into our Federal Union of Cuba would be a good thing tor all sections of the country, since it would make many things much cheaper. It is the rich- est island probably under the sun, and it is a shame that it should have been so long curser by Spanish rule. The slaves would, of course, be free in the event of acquisition, and no one, north or south, would be found to favor the cou- tinuation of that institution. Some might ob- Ject to the admission of Cuba as a state because of the composition of the population, but the island would of course be accorded the right of local self-government, and could manage their own affairs, under the Constitution of the United States. It was here suggested to Mr. Stephens that Cuba could not be 4 except through war with Spain, upon which he replied:—* As { have said before, we are simply holding while Spain skins. We have been doing this for years. Under Buchanan’s administration men Were arrested for violating our neutrality laws by fitting out expeditions for Cub were indicted. The fact is, the United States has been protecting Spain by its neutrality laws in her grinding process, and aiding in the perpet- ous rule on that island. not been extending this panish pirates Cuba would ¢ free ty-day! Now, 1 for one say, let us stop holding. It we go this, 100,000 American vol- unteers would join Cespedes in a few weeks, and in a@ month the pirates would be swept from the island. Let us quit -holding’—that is al! that is needed.” On being asked if he was in favor of open war with Spain, Mr. Stepbens said: “Iam not for war per se.’ War is demoralizing and in many instances destructive of human liberty. But I believe there are some things worse than war. If we do have a war, however, let it be righteous one and one the civilized world wili approve, but if offences must needs come let them come from Spain; let the rest with her.” ‘Mr. Stephens believes that there is remark- unanimity on the subject, but when questioned eapecially, in reference to the feel- ing in the south, laughingly replied that he had made no inquiries the sul formed his own individual opinion; and that it 1s net customary with him to wait for the views of others e: ai .
