Considerable excitement was cre- ated here this afternoon by the re- port that fighting was going on be- tween the white and blacksat Ridge Springs, Edgeflela county, South Carolina. A party of whites left this after- noon to aid their friends, and others will follow in case the conflict be- gins. At 9 o'clock p. m. all was quiet at Ridge Springs, but a fight was anticipated. Both the whites and blacks are arming, and there is an uneasy feeling that a war of races will begin In mouth Carolina, and in that event the white people of Georgia, on the Savannah river, will go to the rescue of the white people of South Carolina. Arms and ammunition are being shipped from this city. Stoux Crry, August 18. A special to the Journal from Fort Sully to-nighr, says that two of the Arapahoe Indians have just arrived there, who left the hostile camp on the 7th inst., and Custar's camp on the 13th. Custar was in what is known among the Indians as Cow Pen, i the Black Hills. The hostile Indians were on the RBig Rosebud, and numbor ubout fivethousand warriors. Information of the expedition which wasbrought to their camp by some Indians who had been off on a stock stealing ex- pedition, caused great excitement. Speeches were made by the chiefs and head men, and the expedition was characierized as treachery on the part of the whités. Four Horus said he would intercept Custar on his return, and attack him if he lost half of his heroes. Unless Custar is determined, however, it is doubt- ful about the hostile Indians being able to overtake him before he reaches the Missomiriver, NEW YoRE, August 18, An article in Freeman's Journal, alluded to in previous dispatches, gives the following recital of how Admiral Polo come to give up the position of Spanish minister at Washington : On the Ist of April, 1874, tho Ad- miral received a dispatch from the Madrid minister of state, saying that since the government recog- nizes the Carlist insurrection in C ba, and Germany has made honor- able and acceptable overtures, it is desirable to know the position of the United States in the event of a ces- sion of Porto Rico +to the govern- ment. His majesty, the emperor, or some courier, brought a note explaining to the Admiral that the German government would see that the loan to the Serranno gov- erament proposed in England should succeed, and that 1t would, itself, furnish the necessary funds that the German Government would also establish a fleet of cruls- ers on the Spanish coast to suppress rontrabands at war; the Spanish flsel to go-epgragte with Germany, and that it would “Tepognize Serrano’s dictatorship on the pres- ent basls, and use its influence to have other governments recognize it. The Spanish Government would edp to the German empire by a provisional tiilé, and one that may become perpetual, tv the island of Porto Rico, in whole or in part. Admiral Polo lost no time in re- sponding. The communication of the minister of state shocked him. The proposed bargain with Germa- ny was anti-patriotic, and that he offered his resignation as Spanish winister at Washington. The Mad- rid dictatorship replied that the Car- list investigation- was making im- mense progress daily,and thatevary available means must be used fo crush it. Your excellency has ex- aggerated the scruples of the gos- efnment r_coe'tlm offered Germany, because they do not injure national sentiment. No German will tread sacred Spunish soil. It isnot intervention, but policeservice done { by the German marine, in concert with the marine of the country, as to Porto Rigo, That is the only pledge for the fulfillment of agree- ments made by the two govern- ments. 2 Admiral Polo's rejoinder was worthy of a Spanish officer: I have had s weakness, badly coun- selled as T was, to put name fo an act which has been condemned at home aud abroad.” The Admiral refers to the mutuslly disagreeable bargain of the protocol. “‘About the Virginius, T am _fully resolved, if I continue to fill the functions of myinister here, to takeinto considera- And General Provision Dealers, | ACIechors, o take info considera.

The Attorney General has decided that the revised statutes do not change the law, in regard to tax upon the tonnage of vessels, convey- ing foreign commerce, and that now asformerly the tax is only col- lectable on the entry of such vessels, and not upon tneir clearance, and is only collectable once in each year. NEW YORK, August 18. Tilton’s friends say that the fight between huim and Beecher will be more severe 1,0w than ever. Tilton feels that he can I but little more, and intends to fight desper- ately to regain what he has lost in reputation. It is learned that when Mrs. Beecher testitied before the committee she had Mrs, Tilton’s love letters to Beecher with her. She had opened most of them be- fore her husband had seen them. The committeehave not yet de ded whether to print all the t mony they received. Much of it is said to be unfit for publication. Shearman, Beecher’s counsel,says a letter has been written to Beech- er by some of the latcer’s enemies, and replies obtained with the design of manufacturing evidence against him. Beecher is now suffering from lfl;uunual attack of fever at Peeks- John W. Harmon, a _confldential friend, to whom Tilton related all his troubles, ed before the committee lately. He said Tilton had several times spoken about Mr. Beecher’s trouble to him, but never accused him of adultery, but al- ways of a lesser offense. One day while dining at a Broadway res- taurant Tilton, unsolicited, told hipy the trauble, and said his wife had declared that Beecher had repeated- Iy made improper proposals to her in the course of his visits. He af- terwards told Harmon of his inter- view with and accusation of Beech- er; the door of the room was locked and the key pocketed; then Tilton made the accusation; Bescher con- fessed on his knees, with tears in his eyes. Tilton did mot_tell Har- mon, hawever, of Mr. Tilton’s re- traction subsequently, nor ot the li- brary and bed room scenc, He charged Beecher with adultery with other women in Brooklyn; said he had confessed that the crime with a married lady there, and Tilton also had her gonfession of Harmon says that Tilton drew up along document, which he called “The True Story.” This recited Beecher's adulteries with other women, but did not state that Mrs. Tilton had been false to her mar- riage vows, Tilton then asked Harmon to tell all he had heard to Dwight, Johnson, and Drs. Storrs and Buddington and get their opin- ions and advice. Harmon told Johnson but did not tell the clergy- men. When Tiltou's recent state- meni was published, Harmon was uurprL~e3~ to find Mrs. Tilion and Beooner charged with adultery, He saw Tilton about it and expressed his surprise and sorrow. Tilton said_he did not make any charge ugtil his wife left him, anaa deacon insulted him, and Beecher deflantly challenged all who knew anything of the scandal to speak. Tiiton told Harman that he offered to go before the committee with Beecher, and if the latter would name the oftense Le hgd committed Tilton would consent that the com- mittee commend Beecher and Mrs, Tilton to the church, and he would receie his wife back again and the whole matter would thus be settled. Reecher's counsel that it might be arranged if Tilton would be satisfled with Beecher’s going before the committee and acknowledging that he committed aa offense. Tilton refused to agree to this, and the ar- rangements tell through. Tilton’s forthcoming reply to Beecher will assert that Mrs. Tilton did not make her confession under the circumstances. Beecher states that she was not sick, but in imper- | fect health. She had been walking im the country and was just return- ing, and within one hour after her return, she made the confession to Tilton, which was voluntarily re- peated to her mother and others. Tijton denies that he asked Beecher to intercede with Bowen. Beecher, however, caused Bowen to break the contract with Tilton. He denies ever receiving any money from Beecher, and if Beecher paid any mongy, Tilton did not know it} Frank Moulton put in from $5,000 to $8,000 for the Golden Age; 1f Beecher paid this, Tilton never knew it. Moulton paid all bills for the education, etc., of the young girl adopted into Tilton’s household. Tilton ridicules Beecher’s affected remarse, and clalms his quotations from Beecher's letters are correct and that only two immaterial varia- tions can be pointed out. Mrs. Til- ton’s mother advised her to look out for a divorce, and then followed e attacks on Tilton's character, Tilton regards the committee's pro- ceedings as a farcial resuli, beins | "7 u at the start, i | LouISVILLE, August 18. | The Courier-Journal yesterday | published reports from correspon- | dents in fifty counties in Kentucky, representing 75 per cent of tobacco crop of the whole Btate, which in- dicate an unparalleled failure of the crop. From the aggregate estimate of the crop it is deduced that under the most favorable prospects the crop of 1874 will be only 13 per cent of the average annually pro- duced. JERSEY CITY, August 18, Miss Pomeroy, one of the parties in the scandal connected with the Presbyterian churchon the Heights, and who charges Pastor Glenden- ning with seduction, isbelieved to be at the point of death. The Methodist clergymen attending her received her last solemn confession, that Rev. John 8. Glendenning was the father of her child. Itis hinted that Glondenning, who is absent on a vacation, won't return to his pul- pit. CHARLESTON, Aug. 18. Nothing later in regard to the ne- gro troubles has been received. The authorities at that place yesterday called on General lfog!lis demand- ing troops, which request was tele- graphed to Gen. McDowell,who an- swered that it was a matter for the action of the State authorities, and he could not interfere. No news have been received from the revenue cutter which went to Georgetown last night by order of the Collector of the port. Jones, the leader of one of the factlons, arrived here to-night. He relates that the jail where his rival is conZned Is still guarded by armed negroes. He states that the U, 8. troops must be sent there to restore order, and brings with him the pa- pers necessary to sustain his demend | for such help. Thompson, the col- ored Philadelphian, who was woun- ded on Wednesday, came with him. BUFFALO, August 18. ‘There are at present laid up in this Larbor sixty-wo lske vessels, most of them owned or controlled by Buffalo parties. Shipping men claim that they make money by keeping out of the carrying trade at the present ruinous rates. Besides these vessels there are overone hun- d:ed canal boats Iaid up, that aro owned by various transportation companies. These companies re- fuse to load their boats at the pres- eut cana! rates. There areseventy- five canal boats on the hooks of the Buffalo Canal Assoclation Co., waiting for loads, some of them having walted a month. At the present channel rates the State ex- acts_almost seven eighths of the freight money for canal toll, and the canal men only figure to get out even and fulfil their contracts. The canal and lake business has not been so dull as it Is at present for many years, and never have freights ruled as low gs they have this season, * OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 18. The greatest excitement prevails in this city all the afternoon yester- day and last night In consequence of the bush fires raging in this vi- cinity. At Aylmer the inhabitants have been fighting the fire for the last four haurs, and so far with suc- cess. At Skead?s Mills'the fire ap- proached so near that the Changdier mill ownerssent ont thelr steaner, and by its assistance checked the advange of the flames, In Rochesterville intense alarm prevailed, as the fire was olose upon the village. The sluice in the city draln was opened 8o s to flood the 5 of the villige. The &ro is as dry as powder, and aere Is 1o telling what the result may be if rain does not come. The surrounding country was one mass of flames last night, and the great. est excitement prevailed every where, SARATOGA, August 18.
