Napwzs, Jan. 4, 1868. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which was described some few days since as becoming atill more intensely grand, is just now quite ‘alarming. 2 The whole of the volcano is in violent ac- ‘Gon, and flame issues not only from the old ‘grater and many new openings to the air, but ‘Mt continues to blaze after its ejection. A alight subsidence of the volcanic motion had taken place, and on Monday, the 9th of jember, the mountain remained almost quiescent, its sides being covered to a great extent with snow. A heavy colored smoke Ysened from what the savans term the “smoke holes,” old and new. _ Tuesday night, December 10, the eruption was resumed with great force, and a mass of fava, resembling a solid rock, was shot from fhe crater to a great height, and, as seen from this city, rolled down the sides of the great cone after falling. A loud roar, as if of artillery, was heard during the entire night. The mountain was veiled in darkness long fefter the hour of daybreak next morning. As the forenoon advanced a strong wind (@prung up from the north and dispelled the \gloom, and Vesuvius bas been witnessed in its fiery daily grandeur since. To-day a perfect river of fire is seen to flow jfrom the mountain, running in a westerly di- {weotion. The flery flood is nearing the town of Cer- ala. The upheaving of the volcano are attended ‘with shocks resembling those of an earthquake and loud detonations, as if a battery of heavy guns in full play, are heard. A perfect panic prevails among the inhab- tants of all the villages situated in the neigh- ‘Dorhood of the foot of the mountain. IRELAND.

The President, in all probability, would in that hasten toJprociaim that the rebel States were never out of the Union, and that, ergo, the people of those States are ctill entitled to all the civil rights (save and except property in slaves) enjoyed by them anterior to the acts of secession; that the subordination of the civil to military authority bas been illogal, and must immediately be abolished; aad that all the past action under the Congressional recom ‘struction policy bas been null and void. Following this out to its natural results he would, to be consistent, have to recall the military governors, with their nume- rous trains of satellites, and perhaps would remove all semblance of military surveillance, save such as pra- dence would suggest to be necessary to the preservation of law and order, in view of the alleged negro conspira- cies and the supposed disaffection atill of many of the white residents, The Case of Ex-Secretary Stanton.

In order to afford prompt relief to those individuals in the Southern States who are suffering from poverty Major Genogal Howard submitted a fow days since to General Grant for his approval a pian to supply provi- sions from the fund in his possession for the use of the Freedmen’s Bureau, The plan submitted, briefly stated, {s to instruct assistant commissioners of the Bureau to select a proper agent in each district to issue sullicient food to those persons who are actually suffering from want, each agent to be allowed to issue to about one hundred persons, taking as security for the issue @ Lien on the crops, and to be held responsible for tho reimbursement of the Bureau for the advances made, The money to supply such provisions is to be taken from tbe fund of the Freedmon’s Bureau to what- ever amount the commissioner may find it expedient to devote to that purpose, General Grant approved of the proposition, and it is expected that instructions to carry the plan mto execution will be given to assistant couwmis- sioners of the Bureau within the coming week, Financial Difticulty Between the Register nd Mayor of Washinato: (A financial difficulty has existed for some time past between the Register and the Mayor of Washington with regard to payments for the support of the public schools, The Register, a radical republican, refused to countersign the check for the payment of salaries of teachers in the white schools until checks were drawn by the Mayor (conservative) for the payment of the full amount of the requisitions of the trustees of the public schools, making the sum of $42,559, all except- ing $6,000 being on. account of arrearages to the colored schoola, This afternoon gentlemen, irrespective of party, brought about an accommodation. The segister drow three checks—namoly, $6,000 on account of colored sebools, proportion for the prevent year; $15,000 on account of arrearages to colored schools, and a check for $21,659, the balance of arrearages for colored schools, and $12,000 for salaries of teaches of white scbools, The Mayor signed the last named check first, and the others on colored account afterwards.

The Case of Ex-Secretary Stanton, {Washington correspondence (Jan, 3) of Boston Daily Advertiser.) The Senate Military Committee referred the Presi- dent’s message coucerning Mr, Stanton’s suspension to Sonator Howard for examination. He has been engaged upon this work during tho holiday recess, and wiil submit his report to the committee at its first meet- ing next weck. How fong a time the committee will occupy in considering {t cannot now be told, When they have reached a conclusion the matier will be jaid beiore the Senate in secret session. Mr. Howard’s report is long, and 1% moreover, a strong legal document. It reviews the Presideut’s mes- sage in detail, aud shows that asa whole it was untair and unjust to Mr. Stanton, and in some important par- ticul solutely false. It will not be denied that Mr, Stant posed Lhe Tenure of Office law, believing it un- Gonstitutional, but his reply to the President's argument 4 ‘on this point is that the vill having become a law in the proper mauner, it was just as much binding upon the Secretary of War as upon any other individual, Tho President's strovg point was on the New Orleans busi- neaa, and under this head Mr, Howard will, it 1s under- stood, put the case in a rather bad light for Mr. Johnson, Tne despatch of July 28 from General Baird to Mr. Stan: ton is furnished by the President, as follows: — A convention has been called, with the sanction of Gover. nor Wells, to invet here on Monday, The Lieutenant Gov- ernor and city authorities think it unlawful, and propose to break it up by arresting the delegates, T have given no or. ders ou the subject, but have warned the parties that the war had terminated.

Not only the contents but the recipients thereof are so diminutive that they re~ mind one of hommopathic doses, which are known. to poison humanity pleasantly. here is a novelty in dreas which is called “mask veil.” It is, [must say, an accessory which does not so much tend to the embellishment of ladies as to the peace of society, insomuch that it conceals ugliness and gives the aged ail the sem- blance of youth, as long agit is keptdown. It produces the effect of the well known velvet loup worn with a domino, The pattern leaves a ‘space evuld not countenante or permit such action without ine | free of flower or design for two sparkling eyes un- firuetions from the President. “Plonse instruct mo at once demeath.
