Minor Engagements With the Insurgents Nothing Decisive Occurred Yet—Sinking of a Schooner—Commercial and Financial In- telligence. Havana, Jan. 15, 1869. All the journals publish accounts of minor engage- ments hetween the troops and revolutionists; but nothing decisive is yet known to have resulted. Tne steamer Missouri arrived here to-day from New York. Onthe night of the 11th inst., during a fog, the Missouri ran into the schooner Dyer, bound from the James river for Boston with a cargo of oys- ters, and sunk her. Franklin Baker, a seaman on the Dyer, was drowned, Su active. The market to-day opened firm, but fell at the close; No. 12 Dutch standard 8% reals per arrohe.

HAVANA, Jan, 15, 1869, The original copy of the so-called emancipation proclamation, issued by the revolutionary General Cespedes, has been recetved here. It does not, as has been reported previously, abolish slavery at once, but counsels owners to give their slaves their freedom and leave the ultimate decision to the peo- ple, who at their pleasure may decide upon imme- diate emancipation, coupled with the indemnifica- tion of those owners who are favorable to the revo- Jutionary cause and yet unwilling to part with their roperty. The General’s principal object in the ion of the proclamation appears to be the utiliza-- tion of the services of the blacks as a military ne- cessity. Rumors of the Capture of Bryamo—The Chole era Raging There—Meetings of Prominent Cubans in Favor of Peace. Havana, Jan. 15, 1869—Evening. The journals of this city continue to report that Count Valmaseda has taken Bayamo; but this ia still doubfal. Even if he had reached the town, it is not probable that ne would enter it. Spanish and Cu- ban accounts concur in stating that the cholera is raging there. Senors Ramirez Oro and Tamayo left this city to- day a8 @ commission to consult with the insurgent chiefs, ana endeavor to bring about a com- promise. Various meetings to consider ques- tions of peace have beea held at the resi- dences of prominent Cubana, but they have had no definite result. The Cuban revolutionary junta in this city has had several secret meetings, at which they have resolved to remain quiet, accept nothing from General Dulce, and make no demonstration until they have heard fully from General Cespedes a3 to the wishes of the revolutionists in arms. CALIFORNIA. Progress of the Southern Pacific Railroad— San Francisco Markets. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15, 1869.

Mazatlan advices to January? have been re- ceived. Great discontent prevailed against the Juarez gov- ernment and open rebellion is soon anticipated. General Corona departed for Acapulgo January 2, en route to the city of Mexico, on @ leave of absence. It is asserted that his pres- ence only prevented an open rupture before now. ‘The leader of the present contemplated pronuncia- miento is yet unknown, although the name of Don Placido Vega is mentioned, in connection with bls well known aspirations Yor a republic of the Occt- dent from Tepic to the river (Colorado, including the States of Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, Sinaloa and Lower California, under the protection of the United States, General Martinez's name ts also men- tioned in the same connection. He was expected to arrive in the country by the next steamer. Advices received from Mazatlan to January 6 re- port the rising of Gonzales Ortega to force his claim to the Presidency. Negrete, Quiroga, Vargas and Canales are his supporters. The death of his friend, Patoni, is supposed to have caused Ortega to take this step, especially as the general government had exhibited so much tardiness in bringing General Canto, the alleged assassin, to trial. General Echegarras has been appointed military commander of Sinaloa during the absence of General Corona. All the persons who aided the Martinez revolution are ordered to present themselves te the District Court. The Districts of Culiacan and Mocavito are suffer- ing from putrid fever, causing terrible effects. ‘The Mexican steamer Juarez is still aground. ‘The United states steamers Mohongo and Resaca are at La Paz. ‘The Princesses Palmo, from Hamburg, and Bedda, from Bordeaux, have arrived at Mazatlan. The English gunboat Pelides has arrived at Guaymas, Claims of Citizens of Sinaloa—Tue Clersy Dissatisied—Outrages by Apaches Indians ia Sonora. San FRANctsco, Jan, 15, 1869. The Commissioners appointed by Governor Rubi to report upon the Josses of citizens of Sinaloa by the French invasion presented claims amounting to $165,000, which were forwarded to the city of Mexico. There was great dissatisfaction among the clergy in regard to the new militia law, which exempts no males between the ages of twenty and fifty years. Several arrests have been made and flues exacted from clergymen. The Bishop of Leon has been brought before the courts because of his protesting against the occupancy of the Church property by the State authorities for school houses. The Legislature of Jalisco has authorized the Governor of the State to sell all the buildings belonging to the clergy, even those devoted to instruction and benevolent pur- poses. The Apache Indians are committing horrible out- outrages in the State of Sonora. The National Guard has been catled out to fight them.

Governor Bullock’s Message—The Recon struction Laws Disregarded—Iusecurity of Life and Property—Freedom of Speech Dee nied—Revolutionary Acts of the Legisize ture=Satisfactory Condition of Stute Fi- nances. ATLANTA, Jan. 15, 1869, The Senate and House reassembled to-day, and the message of Governor Bullock was received and read. He commences by announcing that on the 7th of December he addressed a communication to Congress, setting forth that the reconst jon laws had not been fully executed In Georgia. He then proceeds to state that the remarkabie action of the Legislature at its last session had induced a careful examination of the law and of the mannor of its execution, to ascertain how it was possible that such extraordinary results could occur. He argues that a strict adherence to the letter of the Reconstruction acts would have pre- vented the overthrow of them which hay been ac- complished in Georgia, Congress, he says, is the sole interpreter of the true mtent and meaning of the reconstruction measures and the fnal a on the question of their execution. In the body of the message the following occurs:— The fact that there is not, in Georgia, adequate protection for Wife and property and’ the free expression of political opinion is #0 well kuown and understodd as not to ne gument or the presentation of the evidence which has Teached me from many portions of the State, In fact, tt is hoped that it may never become necessary to make public the information, which would severely reilect upon us as a people. He says Congress will undoubtedly regard the action expelling the colored members of the Legisiature as revolutionary and the overthrow of the govern- ment instituted by its acts, and will take into its own hands the adjustment of the difficulty untess some eifective measures are at ouce adopted hers to repair the injury. It is not desired, he says, that treason should be punished, but it is demanded that a shall be respected, and if necessary pro- tected. The Governor recommends the General Assembly to take the initiative for a settlement by excluding members tmeligibie under the fourteentl amendment and restoring the colored members to their seats, and in case it is not deemed v to take this course, then adjourn and leave th whole matter to Congress, where, in a event, the matter must be finally disposed He further remarks that we may be well assured that Congaess will not pause in the great work of feconstruction and of regeneration until we iully acquiesce in the great faci that our late slaves are men entitled to all the rights, privileges and immu- nities of other men before the law; that until the same lom from proscription which is now nted to the most arrogant opponent of Congress is secured to the humblest Union man and friend of the government, we cannot have perfect peace or Papa taf He closes with congratulations upon the satisfactory condition of the State finances and the valuable reguits obtained by agriculture, Excitement in the Legislature Over the Gove ernor’s Message—The Governor Called Upon to Substantiate His Charges. ATLANTA, Jan. 15, 1869. The Senate, on reading the Governor’s message, passed a resolution referring that portion of the message relative to the State's relation to the gene- ral government to a committee of five; also a resolu- tion calling on the Governor to show the facts where- on he states there {sno protection for life, property and the maintenance of peace and good order; also proofs of the evils and disorders to which he refers, or of the existence of organized resistance to the law; the extent and character of the same; also that it is the earnest desire and unwavering ‘deter- mination of this body to co-operate im all proper measures with the other depart. ments of the governinent, in offering fuil and ample protection to life and property and in the establishment of peace and good order throughout the State, securing to all classes and conditions of the people the free expression of polit- teal opinions and effecting the faithful execution of the laws of the State and of the dnited States. ‘The House passed a resolution referrmg that por- tion of the Governor's message relative to recon- struction to a special committee of ten, LOUISIANA. Another Victim of the Glide Disaster~The Peruvian Monitors at Pensacola—Testimos nial for the Widow of General Rousseau— Proposed Change in the New Orleans City Government. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 15, 1869, Brevet Major R. M. Maston, First infantry, one of the victims of the Glide disaster, died last evening, and was buried to-day. He had been temporarily assigned to staff duty and ordered by General Rous- seau to make some investigations in Western Louisi- ana.

ALBANY, Jan. 15, 1869. ‘The Senatorial fever has by this time reached its height. The status remains the same as that de- scribed in my despatch of last night. The three leading candidates—Fenton, Morgan and Roberta—have buckled on their armor, and at the Orst charge, at least, to-morrow night in caucus, on that “fleld of the cloth of gold,” or greenbacks, will show a stern front. It is dificult to tell who will make the best appearance on the early ballots. Both Morgan and Fenton are equally confident, but I judge that the immediate friends of the latter are begin- ning to see in-the vista the possibility, as well as the wisdom, of a compromise with Roberts before the final baliot is taken, As for Roberts, his sole chance would seem to lie in this measure. He is late in the field. Fenton has been pulling the wires with such effect—as only he knows how to pull them; that the ground has been thoroughly occupied. The fight, however, is ot so much between Morgan, Fenton and Roberts agit is@ struggle to defeat Morgan anyhow. For this object every effort wili be made, and every measure, from cajolery, promises of office, and piles of greenbacks, willbe had recourse to. Although Morgan has played his cards and used his money so well as to inspire confidence in his followers, it {is beginning to appear that he ts not the popular man—that is to say that he does not inspire much enthusiasm. But in this respect Fenton may be said to stand in the same category. Ile is regarded as cold-hearted, selfish and unreliable. Many of his acts during his | appre ag ony Mg espn] up in Foden ed tion against yy his party and are not de: y some of his friends. Of course when I speak of en- thusiasm tn this connection Ido so com@uratively, and refer not at ali to that genuine sentiment whic! enters into p conflicts, There is none of that element tn this it. Despite the excitement, the anxiety, the feverishness, it is a very cold-blooded affair after all, with which tical principle has nothing whatever to do, but in which cool calculation as to the highest golden jerdon that may be won from the results controls from be- gin toend, I adhere to my original statements that the struggle for the Senatorship isa mere matter of money, and will be governed by the power of endurance in the candidates to pay out according to the demand, and the demands are] assure you hourly becoming exorbitant. When we consider that the candidat spoken of represent, in the ag gregate, fortunes worth nine millions of dollars, we cannot expect that the exhausting process has come into operation at this early stage. ‘There is one more v4 remaining, during which the Archimedean screw will be tested to its utmost capacity upon the candidates, It 1s not tmprobabie that the imposing, monster safe which Leland found necessary to in- troduce into the Delavan yesterday for the accommo- dation of these gentiomen, and to the great delight and expectancy of the politicians, will be found as empty as the tub of the daughters of Dane before midnight to-morrow. Some republican members affect a good deai of vir- tuous indignation at the insinuations of the press that their votes in the caucus can be ought, but these are the pin-feathered birds; the old ones make no bones about the means by which the nomimation is to be obtained. It is not a legal offence to sell one’s vote at a caucus, 80 they laugh at the law and the newspapers, Speculation as to the result, which was wild and vague a few days ago, las narrowed down to some- thing like a conclusion at this almost last hour of the contest. The subject of Fenton’s probable with- drawal is no longer a matter of secrecy, It is boasted of in Morgan’s quarters as an evidence of weakness, and so it is, undoubtly, as far as Fenton is concerned; but is it an evidence of strength in the Morgan party? Fenton will only withdraw to enter a powerful combination against Morgan, with Roberts and his money bags ut its head. He cannot coalesce with Judge Davis, for they are sworn enemies; nor with Griswold, for he has hardiy force enough to carry him through to a suecesaful ballot, Tie question was put to me to- day by & prominent member of the caucus com- mittee—a strong Fenton man—what the result would be should Fenion become magnanimous and withdraw from tne field. The duswer is plain, that if his friends were content to accept this rare proof of his magnanimity, and throw all their infuence for Marshai 0. Roberts, any interference which might arise from the intro- dueton of J yavis' and Mr. Wold’s naines might be o ne without much difficulty and Morgan's de: insured, But it is not quite certain that Fenton's friends would yield thetr chances of a pull at Morgan’s treasure unless Roberts is prepared to outbid lim. According to the present comple: THE STATE CAPITAL. | bps jon of affy it 13 not uusafe to anticipate that this combmation will be effected to-morrow night. Whether iy can be carried through success. tuliy remains to be seen. The outside caucusiug of ihis evening and to-morrow will probably decide the matter, The fact that the Fenton men on the caucus committee succeeded in fixing to-morrow night for the caucys, Ipstead of Monday, as the Morgan Sen- ators wanted, is regarded as a Fenton victor ‘The antmus which the Senators displayed in bol ing when the proposition was made wouid intimate that they so regarded it. Another triumph for the Fenton sije is claimed in the refusal of the Mouse to-day to adjourn until Monday evening, according to custom. “The Fenton men pressed the ameud- ment to adjoura until to-morrow and carried it, ued doubtiul to many that the vote detined. Certainly it was very i by the Speaker. The object of was to keep the republican members in town for the cateus to-morrow night, as many of them might have found it agreeable, and periaps conventent, to go home. The chairman of one ‘of the committees was an- nounced to-day under very amusing circumstances. Mr. Seikreg, who was in the chair while the House was in Commitiee of the Whole upon a bill of Mr. Gien’s, upon retiring presented the report in the usual form to the Speaker. Speaker \oungiove— whose head was evidently 1uli oi the new com- mittees—announced “Mr. Selkreg, chairman of the Committee ot Ways and Means, roports." Here, see- ing his mistake, he paused, while the House burst into roars of laughter at this dapsus lingua, which let the cat of the Ways and Means Committee out of the bag. The Speaker himself jomed heartily in the merriment. The members clapped again and again, When silamce was restored the Speaker corrected himself by calling Mr. seikreg by his pro- title, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole. ittle business of consequence was done in eituer house to-day, and there will certainly be iess accom- plished to-morrow. “ The Woy pre eye id forgeries _ P teens Fone ous wu ionday nigitt. not deci gs whan Tie complimentary nomination for Senator wil be tendered—probably Sanford K.

ALBANY, Jan. 15, 1969. An unexpected change has taken place in the Senatorial campaign, which leaves the fight fair and square between Morgan and Fenton, Marshall 0. Roberts has retired from the field. Upon a consultation held to-day by the friends of Fenton and Roberts, at which Greeley assisted, tt was found that although Roberts had considerable strength it was not sufficient to warrant the surrender of the position which Fenton had already attained, and therefore it was decited that Koberts shouia leave the fleid open to the original contestants, This result was not arrived at Without considerable comparing of notes and close calculation as to the cui uve strength of the two candidates who now occupy the field. It was deemed advisable that the battle should be lett to them. Roberts returned to New York this after- noon and Greeley depariéd for Cohoes, The Troy ves, John A. Griswold's organ, which has heretofore supported him, comes out this evening in favor of Fenton. Mr. Griswold, therefore, oy be counted ont of the con- test. Judge Davis will get @ complimentary vote im the caucus. The issue is narrowed down toa fine point. Morgan's party claim that he can command fiity-five yoies to a dead certainty, and they look to contingent circumstances for a few more. Tneed not sav what these circumstances are. ‘They are very well understood here and they wear @ green aspect refreshing to the eyes of those who have ballots to cast to-morrow night. The re- tirement of Roberts is not regarded as an indication of fncreased strength for Fenton, as he really gains nothing by the concession, ere 18 no abate- ment tn the confidence of victory with the friends of either ‘The Morgan men contempiate suc- cess will calm asstirance that is edifying to behold. The Fenton men are more demonstrative and boast a good deal, which Is not a whoksome sign. Heavy bets on Morgan have been offered to- night, and no takers to be found, which is ominous in this monetary contest, The new phase which the battle has assumed tg paesine, and has upset a good many previous caiculations, NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

Of ali the entertainments that are given nightly in New York those of the Masonic body are perhaps arranged and conducted the best. The fraterntty seems to be gifted with tntuittve knowledge of what is most chaste and elegant, and certainly the spirit is not wanting to apply the knowledge whenever the command goes forth for a banquet or ball. However objectionable the Order may seem in the eyes of people whose reli- gious teachers preach hostility to it, the ladies will never accuse the brothers of the serious offence of bad taste. Whatever is done under the sanction of the Masonic Order is done well, and it seldom occurs Mr, OaMPBBLL! the Ratiroad Committee tn- firvoted 19 iavesignp the qver leaup of stook br | that their public peformances are conducted any other way than with taste, elegance and splendor. The bail of the Excelsior No. 195, F. and A. M., held last night at the Apollo Rooms, corner of Broadway and ig street, Was no excep- tion to the general rule, The hall was well filled, but not overcrowded; the dresses of the ladies were as elegant as they were varied in hue and Colors, and Grafulla’s full band, under his leadership, discoursed tne choicest music of the sparkling Offenbach, The order of dancing comprised a grand ee, polka redowa and galop, Les Lanciers, Redowa, ye and aes, quadrille ninepin and quadrilie everything. “ate +n at arrangements of the ball were everything that could be desired. The following named gentlemen, who comprised the re have every reason to be pleased with the result of their labors:—E. L. Merrifield, A. Cately,C. Thorne, J. Y. Phillips, E. D. Bissford, P. D, Braisted, Jr., J. McCami, J. L, Still, J. E. Luther, A. Van Arsdale and H. F.

The thira grand bail of the Société Culinaire Phil- anthropique, which was held last night at the Ger- mania Assembly Rooms, proved a prodigious suc- cess. The attendance was large, the music exquisite, the ladies charming and the dancing spirited, but the main feature of the entertainment was the sup- per. Kach dish was a work of art, the principal ones being marvels of artistic skill. No one of the many tables could be properly described under a column of the smallest type, and Blot himself could not do justice to the supper as a whole. Con- spicuous among the pieces sroides were counter- feit_presentments of Messrs. Gabel Piton (the inumitable gendarmes who figured tn “Genevi>ve de Brabant”), in the shape of two Cochons de lait, The festivities were prolonged until a late hour. ‘The Cummings Association Ball. The ball of the Cummings Association—so called after the late pastor of St. Stephen’s church, Twenty- eighth street—took place last night at Irving Hail. The object of the ball being a charitable one, there was, of course, notwithstanding the miserable state of the weather, a very large attendance of the young ladies and gentlemen of the St. Stephen parish, Some of the toilets were superb, and, of course, all the ladies were atiful. The dancing was kept up until an early hour this morning. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ITEMS.
