Prisoners remanded to jail. The New York Tribune to-day contains a private letter from Senator Hill, of to Hon. S. B. Chittenden, of Brooklyn, furnished by the latter for publication, with Senator Hill's consent: "Well, my friend, flic most anxious event in our history has become a fact, a solid North against a solid South.

No lan guage can express to you the view I take of this event for evil it can have no logic, if continued, but disruption in several monarchies, or absolute consolidation of all the States into one empire. In either event, our constitutional system will fail. In my opinion time has come when the great question for real statesmen to consider, is how sjiecdily to break up this sectionsl solidity and organize parties altogether on other issues. The Democratic party is hated at the North, therefore it Ought to be di-banded. The Republican party is hated at the South and therefore it ought to be disbanded.

Whether this hatred is just or not, makes no difference. I would be glad to see a great National Union party organized, for I believe that the government formed by the constitution is a na tion. True, it is a limited nation, but within powers delegated to it by the con. stitution. It is as much a nation as any on the glolw.

I really like Garfield I sincerely boie he will have a successful administration; he has ability for the crisis; he must teel keenly the tact that he is elected solely by Aothern votes, but he has a great opportunity, and he can, if he will, easily and consistently destroy all sectional animosity and solidities and be chosen for a second term by a majority of States and 1 Ins opportunity is far greater than the office itself, snd if utilized, will give him fame which office cannot give him, and which no pre- vious r-resiucm uuniiieu. iui win ne up it I greatly hope he will, and I greatly fear he will not. I see a movement to make an issue on the resuld in New York with the view to defeat Garfield in the count by Congress. There would be great danger of this but for one fact, and that one fact is, the South will not countenance it. Poor divided and abused, the South, if necessa ry, will once more save the country from a revolution, and as before, will get no credit for it.

The Republican party will take the Presidency, peaceably, and at the next election, the leaders of that party will tell the people from every stump and pnipit in the -North, that the south must not lie trusted. Nevertheless we shall avert all revolution, not to win Republican praise, or to avoid Republican abuse, lor either is impossible; but solely because it is right, and we are determined to preT serve the peace of the country. How long human nature can bear this I do not know; it is injustice unparalleled, and a wrong tht ought to cover the JJoiUi with and wishes the trials Mstponed until tne utctHiug oi r-arnament, in order to secure my absence and tliat of others from Par liament the traversers, on the contrary, for an immediate trial. The Government has bought un all the teinl defense. We hope that all lovers of fret- dom will come to the assistance of the ag itation which will secure a radical settle ment ot the land question and action of ariiament.

The chief fear of tlm ernment is that Parliament will not ratify the statement thus consummated. Charles Stewart Paknell. Alabama Xews. Guntersville has three warehouses. Reportsof our country exchanges renpr- ally show, that many Democratic voters absented themselves from the polls at the late election.

Among the most instrumental in creating the immense majority the North gave at the recent election were the mauutactu-, rers and merchants of that section, who, by threats of discharge in cnae their cm- i ployesdid otherwise, intimidated tlieuv into voting the. Republican ticket. As the puissant North has not yet enacted a law compelling the South to trade with it, the Southern people should avail themselves of tills grace and form at once direct trade relations with foreign jiorts and sell their products to and buy such arti cles as they cannot manufacture them selves from those who, no matter what they may think, at least don't publicly proclaim them thieves, robbers, rebels and murderers. The products and the trade of the South have been the real causes of the revival of business and the financial success of the United States Treasury in this country but while the South has reaped little ot the accruing benefits, the north lias grown lusty and waxed fat therefrom. Let the Southern money now invested in Northern stocks lie withdrawn while such stocks are high and lie put into manufactories and importing-houses at home, and as the Radicals will not permit ships to be bought in the cheapest markets, let foreign associates lie formed who will buy with it cheap Clyde steamers and establish direct lint's between Southern and foreign ports, and it will not only return larger dividends than it is now doing, but will make the South rich and prosperous, and at the same time bring implacable to a realizing sense of their folly in kiiyg the goose that laid the golden N.

Y. Isabella McCulloch. the sonrano sinner. died in New York city Monday. She was a native of South Carolina.

"Her father was a well-to-do Scotchman, but the war swept away his fortune and left the family in very straitened circ*mstances. Tne daughter had a magnificent voice, and under the advice of local musicians paid par ticular attention to its cultivation. At the Academy of Columbia, which she attended, her singing was famous. It was in the winter of 1867-8 that she made her debut in Isew York, singing with credit in "Un Ballo in Maschera." She had been a pu-pill of Torriani, and won success as a singer from the first. As an actress, her Scotch directness of address and bluntness ot manner were blemishes in her perfor- manccs.

Miss McCullough's first tour of this country was made in company with Adelaide Phillips. She sang with La Grange in "Don Giovanni" and in "Le Prophete," and at different times was un der engagement to both Max and Maurice Strakosch. When the opera of "Lurline" was brought out for the first time she sustained the title role, and her friends de clare that her singing of "Sweet Spirit, Hear My Prayer" has never been surpased in sweetness. "Martha" was her favorite opera. Some ten years ago she met Brig- noli, and alter nearly two years of most per sistent wooing on his part she married him and letl the stage.

Alter six years ot married life, part of it spent in Europe, Brig-noli abandoned her, and her suit for di vorce alxnit two years ago finally separated them. For a number of years past she has supiiorted herself as a church singer, tor a time in Grace Church, and later in St. Stephen's. Since the opening of the Cathedral she has been chief soprano in its choir. Controlling the Pork Market How Armonr of Chicago.

by This Year's Operations. Chicago Special to the Hew York World. The inside history of the great Armour "iiork corner," in which the nrm niaue profit of $7,000,000, is published here to day. The history of the operations goes back to the summer of 187i, at which time Phil. Armour and his Milwaukee partner.

John Plankington, went to Europe with the intention of cornering the pork market of the world. They were abroad about two months and during their absence or dered the purchase of an enormous amount of provisions, including 60,000,000 pounds of rilis, bought at less than i cents per pound, and loO.OUO barrels ot pork at an average of only $8 per barrel. On their return to America in September they found the market strengthening. Prices went up and they realized a profit of $2,000,000. In the next two or three months pork advanc-en to $14 a barrel, and ribs in proportion.

Lnder the impression that the boom was going to continue they made further pur chases. Then came the reaction, pork going from $15. to $9.25 in spite of all that could be done to bolster it up. Die $2. 000,000 went, and another $1,000,000 after it.

The members ot the nrm at once set retrieving their losses, and sent agents through this country and Europe, and from reports made, satisfied themselves that the product ot the hog would be in de mand for the ensuing four months. They began in April to purchase all the actual stock in market about 225,000 barrels on hand here, and a trifle over 100,000 in store in other cities. Thin they bought at prices ranging from $9.50 to $10.50, the average being about $10. in addition tney secured "options" on barrels more, and then aijaijeil developments. They took occasion to let everyUidy know that they had all the pork in existence and a great deal more.

The manipulators had laid their plans to force the price up to $20, but they wanted it to go up gradually. But when it became apparent to the traders and speculators (hat a great bull movement was on foot, prices were run up with such rapidity that it was feared (he effect would frighten off the "aborts', and induce them to settle too early. To prevent such a movi the Armours threw nearly a half million barrels on the market, and this served to check the boom and keep it within their control, and at the same time produce the impression that they could not or did not carry out their published programme of torcing quotations to $30. Operations were not alone confined U) Ainerica, but all of Europe was taken in, and wherever men were found willing to sell pork they did not have, the Amours were graciously ac- comuiodating. They knew that they held all the pork and that flips? who had sold them the article would pome to them for it or settle the differences.

The amount of money that was placed against this game was enormous. In striking the balance the lucky owners of the brace" find that they have made not less than 000- In other words, they got babk the iosi wnen pom went ijuhu lasi winter and $4,000,000 The street dealers feel as hard as their Western brethren in misfortune, am a vast sum of New York money is placed to the credit of the Chicago "bulls," Auiniritc Shape. The Complexion of the Menate Contest Over the Mpeakershlp The Small Men After the Clerkships. WAnjGTpN, November 10. The next Senate will prolwbly cqdi of thirt v-nine Democrats and thirty-severr Re publicans.

This includes both Mahone and David Davis. Either of them, if they act with the republicans, can give that party control ftf if organization, the committees and the patronage. Tl)e Republicans claim that Mahone will act with them, in consideration of having at his disposal the Federal pafronage in Virginia. The belief among the Republicans is that President elect Garfield will call the bouse in extra session on the 5th of March next (at reorganization, and the Senate, as is always the custom, to contmn his Cabi net and such other nominations as he may have to make. As soon as Congress meets provision ill have to be made at once to refund the five and six per cent, bonds.

Of the latter tliere urp two hundred millions outstand ing, and ot nus Lorjner auout luree nun-dred millions. The sixes am redeemable June 30th next, and the fives May next. There are still $104,000,000 tour per cents not issued, and whether the bill of Mr. Wood, limiting folding operations to a three-anu-a nair per cent, uonii, win be passed at the coming session, or the responsibility for providing for a new bond will devolve upon the forty-seventh Congress, the future alone can determine. Practically, the coming session will have but eleven weeks in which to dispose of the appropriation bills and the other important matters, aad upon its action de pends very mucu tuc avoiding ot a neces sity for an extra session or the torty-eighth CiimnvM If flipnpvt ITnllsf fails tn iiass a refunding bill, the failure will afford a very convenient excuse for the calling of an extra session.

If Congressman Fryc, of Maine, la not elected to succeed Senator Hamlin, bis chances for Speakership of the House will be excellent. He is a warm personal friend of the PrGsideot-elecJt, anl has a goodly toiiowing in tne fiouse. (i is urged in Frye's favor, as against Kasson, of Iowa, that the continuous service of Frve in the House and bis eminent public service entitles him to preside over a Re publican House, the talk or Kleter and Ben Butterworth is connection with the Speakership is rubbish.

The propor tion of visitors as compared with the day liefore was, at least, as four to one. The ladies were out in great numbers. Every seat in the large stand for spectators was filled with ladies and gentlemen, while there was a sea of faces on the grounds adjacent. The awarding of premiums began yesterday and will be concluded in full today; and in lieu of a partial list, it is deemed best to publish the whole list at once in our next issue. We have already referred specially to the various exhibits, and will mention, in addition, the beautifnl and attractive octagon cottage in the hall, by Mr.

H. R. Bennett. This cottage shows to fine effect the different shades of paints from llarri son, Brothers Philadelphia. Many planters present manifested great interest in "Brown's Distributers" of sot- ton seed and other fertilizers, and easily attached to any cart or wagon on a planta tion.

The grave enclosure and Tubular Foun tain Fence, was the neatest we ever saw. The Sterling Baking Powder con liiiued to win much favor and many biscuit, raised by it, were baked and distributed on ha spot. Strangers on the grounds have noted the rather marked absence of the residents of this city and inquired the cause.

11. The Senate met pursuant to adjournment. The roll was called, and 32 Senators an. swercd to their names. The journal of yesterday wa read and approved.

CALL OF DISTRICTS. Mr. JIcC'LELLAN, of iatr Maryland, ills ability is generally con ceded, both as a speaker and a parliamen tarian, lie is a divorced man, and his wife is remarried in St. Louis. Frye is universally popular.

He has a commanding voice, an intrepid address. affectionate ways and manly integrity of character. Mccook has a cordial address and pleasing exterior, firmness of purpose and excellent judgment. He thinks equally highly of Conkling's abilities and Liny es luierny. It the House ot Representatives is Re publican and the senate is not, there will lie a lively contest for clerk and other of- nces.

Senator Oorsey name has been mentioned as an available clerk, but it is not thought that he cares enough about such a ulace to accept it. James Bos- ler, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, is also urged, without his knowledge, by a numlier of influential people. Edward Mc Pherson conies up again. He and Jay Hubbell have disbursed the money col lected in the departments in the doubtlul Congressional districts, and civil service reform requires him. Judge David Wilson, of Iowa, has been men tioned; and Charles E.

Smith, editor of the rem, Philadelphia. 11 there is no snarl about the organiza tion of the next Congress there is every prosiiect ot liberal appropriations and generally liberal view about expenditures. he country has been growing so rich in private enterprises that there is a propen sity to bring a certain class of official sala ries up to a reasonable point. War to theKnife. A Land Meeting la Cork Violently At.

taeked and the Speakers I riven from the Platform. By Cable to the World. twenty t1iocsasd men at London, Nov. 9 One of the greatest of the Land League meetings was held to-day in the little town of Atblonc in the counties of AVestmeath anil Roscommon. It was remarkable not only for the large numbers who attended, some twenty thousand, and the attention with which they listened to the most triv ial remarks of the orators present, but for the spirit of desperation which wasevin ced by the peasants from all the neighbor ing parishes.

Here and there in the throng could lie seen little knots of barefooted men who had traveled in company from points nlty mites distant trom the town, The whole mass seemed to be moved by a spirit of utter defiance for all forms of British rule that certainly bodes no good to the surrounding landlords. A WAR TO THE KNIFE A.NSICIPATKD. This, taken together with Mr. Pamell'i liold and almost revolutionary speech of to-day, is considered here in Liondon as an almost certain indication of a projected uprising and a war to the knife of the peasantry against the landlords. A DRAMATIC SCENE AT THE MKF.TINO One incident of the meeting will suffice to illustrate the teeung among the people Mr.

Timothy Sullivan in the course: of his speech had recourse to one of those dramatic touches that act on a crowd like wild-fire. Speaking of the indictments pending against himself and fellow mem bers, he suddenly thrust his hand into his pocket and threw Ins indictment tar out among the crowd. For some time it was almost imiossible to restore orde. The paper was seized and torn into a thousand fragments, and the whole assemblage broke out into execrations and curses against the government. Mil.

CALLS FOR VNKEM1TTING AGITATION. Mr. Parnell's speech had a terrible ef fect, not only upon the people present, but here in London, where it is considered one of the most revolutionary he has yet delivered, ine whole tenor ot his re marks was to urge the necessity for united action among irishmen or all degrees. He began by condemning the government in no measured terms for sending their hordes ot constabulary among the starving people of the impoverished districts. thus adding to the already too heavy bur dens of the tenantry by making them support these unnecessary guards.

In these very districts where the police were quar tered, he said, there were many who were dependent for their daily food upon the gratuitous relict hat was sent them from America, lie concluded by strongly ad vising them to unite, and insisted op their agitating until they owned the soil them selves. i During the meeting at Athlone the plat form gave way but no one was injured. A MEETINU ATTACKED IN OOBE, There was an unprovoked outrage, com mined against the Land Leaguers to-day in the County Cork. A land meeting was in progress in the little hamlet of Sha- nagarry, when a band of men under the leadership of one Walsh, formerly a inem Ixt of the League but now a violent parti san of the government, made an upon the crowd, stormed the platform over threw tne speakers ana wok possession He thesn began an address to the few who had remained. denouncmsthfi Land Leaaue as a humbug and the people following its counsels as miserable dupes.

The, attack upon the meeting was so sudden a1o pre clude any organized resistance, but natur ally produced a very bitter felling; which might have found expression at the ex- IM-nse of Walsh but for the strengh of his party and the lact that the police were within call, THE CHANNEL FLKBT NOT TO OOKUCE IRELAND. I have direct authority from the Admir alty for saying that the Channel fleet has beep ordered to tne insn seas without any political i nl em ion whatever. The public opinion here in London' is quite excited over the departure of the fleet, however. THE LONBOS PRESS KINDLY WARS BAR BEL. The London Standitrd yesterday called upon Mr.

Pamell to take warning from the fate of Stephens left to perish miserably by the peuplu he bad Jived for-and the Beho, to rued Hie flame, (ieehtres the- condL tion of Stephens at this time in New York to be dishonorable to the Irish of America. PARNEI.I. ON THE SITCATION A' BOLD STATEMENT FROM THE IRISH The fnAlmx Glohe publishes the follow. ing cable dispatch from Stewart Parnell, the Irish agitator and Home Rule memlier of Parliament The landlords and tenants of Ireland stand 'ace to face for the first tirne in history. The former rear to strike, and the latter exhibit the ancient contldenee and determination of their race.

The next two months will tell whether the conduct of the landlords is destined to deprive, them of all claim to the sympathy of civilization, or whether they will see that their best hope of saving something from the fire is an exlilliilt'tii of a tolerance and a patience that they never yet cliUiitcd, Vndonbt-etlly if they press the tenantry, the latter must again atarve or tic again erictt-d. If attempt's at eviction are made on large scale it will take 10,000 armed men to enforce the landlords' claims. The government prosecutors are condemned as in adequate by the Tory party which conjpeljed the authorities to further ekagpehile Hie" people. Jf the prosecutions should be successful, and tilt) leaders of the movement should be incar cerated, the tenantry, despairing of redress by constitutional action, it is reared, win turn once more, and with justice to revenge. The Jury for trials is to be struck under the old system which secured the oonrictioa of O'CoMell, sod 9vmH Alabama State Fair.

SECOND DAT. As foreshadowed in our notice yesterday morning, the State Fair yesterday was a decided and most gratifying success in every respect. The attendance of visitors, from both the city and other sections of the State, was large, including many ladies, who enlivened" the occasion by their presence. We observed a considerable number of visitors from other States, more perhaps than on any previous exhibition of the Association. The spacious and beautiful grounds presented a scene of stirring and bustling activity and auinia tion from morning to night.

Entries for exhibition, including cattle sheep, hogs, fowls, and miscellaneous articles, are constantly arriving, and will be entered for exhibition. An assortment of articles of a commercial nature arrived last evening, and will be seen in the Exhi bition Hall to-day. lapse who were present the opening day were astonished at the complete metamorphosis presented by the interior ot the Exhibition Hall, Every vacant space and these were many is now occupied by new and varied exhibits of interest. Lovers of the fine arts, and others having a taste for curiosities will rind many art icles or virtu the second story ot tile hall. Indeed, there are many that are singly and alone worth a visit to the grounds to inspect, i It is proper to state in this connection, that the names of parties who have 'enter ed articles for premiums, or exhibition merely, are not affixed to them and for the very good reason that nil articles may stand upon their own merits, and awards ot premiums be made tairly and impar tially.

It is for this cause that we have been unable to add the names, to articles specially mentioned in our reports. We are pier jed to note that an additional, large variety of farm products, and line cattle are promised and will doubtless be seen to-morrow, if not to-day. Several bales of fine cotton were observed in the agricultural shed yesterday. It is gratifying to observe the increasing number or exhibits from a from Cleveland," Ohio, is a magnificent display 01 amnciai nowers mat attracts universal admiration pianos and melodious, by Bates, Savannah; a variety- of ruoDcr stamps and stencils troni JNew Jla-ven and Philadelphia; beautiful and ex quisitely embroidered bed spreads from Georgia; and One worsted work lroni JNew York. We learned, by chance, that Miss Sallie Wilcox, of Selma, executed the two splendid crayon pictures, portraits' of young lady and gentleman, in the second story of the hall.

They must be seen to -be appreciated. Wallin, of this has a collection or photographs; and am un known exhibitor displays some of the finest of oil paintings that delighted am ateurs of the art. i The two large clusters of oranges, one containing 18 the other 20, are from the grove of Dr. Keves. of Florida.

The O. K. Store, and G. B. Manley, have a rich ana rareaispiayot goods, chthcult to equal mere are quilts without numlier, in cluding one of 1,080 pieces, entered by Miss Barry, each piece of a different shade.

The largest of flying jennies from Ger many, affords much diversion to the juve niles, and there are side shows, ad infi nitum, unconnected with the Fair, of course. We desire to direct the attention of vis itors to the stock of horses, sheep. hogs, fowls, which are exhibited at appropriate places on the crouds, to-day. We close this notice by adding that the buscuit baked on the spot, raised by jhe Sterling Baking Powder are among the daily attractions. THE BAES YE8TERDAT.

This race was not completed yesterday, unavoidably, and will be finished at 2 o'clock to-day. THIRD DAT. Continued progress and improvement was the order of the day at the Fair Grounds, yesterday and the exhibition, generally and specially, justified the anticipations, and strengthened the hopes of all interested. The cloudy and unpropi-tious forenoon was succeeded by a serene and cloudless sky; and the weather promises to be beautiful the week out. The very considerable increase of visitors, particularly of ladies, was perceptible.

The number of inquiries of particular exhibits were four or five, to one on Tuesday. To-day, we may expect a still larger attendance from the city and other parts of the State. The various agricultural machines, running by steam, attracted an interested crowd late in the afternoon. Among the additions yesterday to this department was a circular saw mill with Keege's improved, universal log beam, from Salem, N. C.

Our crowded space this morning forbids special mention of many meritorious articles, until another issue. We commend visitors to go the circuit of the exhibition within and outside the hall. The variety of fowls, including beautiful white and dove-colored turkeys geese and chickens should not be overlooked. The biggest sweet potatoes, collards, turnips, and millions of chufas, represent the vegetable kingdom. Planters will lie interested in a distributor of cotton seed and other fertilizers, easily attached to a wagon and various patent corn shelters and feed cutters, run by steam.

In the miscellaneous addition in the ball are two unique cocoanut goblets, UWly.cle4i $0 handiwork of Cos-.
