Relative to the proposition to stop the Savage pumps the iW this evening pub- tisoes an interview witn Aivinza liay. ward. He said he has as yet received no direct particulars, and the action of the Savage Company was a complete surprise to mm. ui course it tne (savage ceased ptimping the water would rise in Hale & Norcross to the 2000-foot level and pre vent all work below. He had not bad time to investigate the matter, but should set about it at once. John W. Coleman, in behalf of the managers of the Savage mine, afforded the following reasons for the action : The 2200-foot level of the Savage mine had been thoroughly ex plored south of the incline aud nothing Valuable ;had been found two crosscuts having passed through the vein. To reach and open another level at present would subject the stockholders to an enormous expense, owing to the intense, heat and the strong flow of water. In fact it had cost tne Company nearly $o0,000 per month to work, and dram the mine and pay its pro rata towards the construction of the combination shaft and the running of lateral branches of the Sutro tunnel. This expense was fearful, and the mana gers, all of whom are heavv shareholders, , , i I n nao aeciueu 10 wuae uuiupiug auu nuuw the water to rise until a draft bad been run from the combination shaft and con nected with the Savage incline on the 2300-foot level. It won.d take about three months to run the drift, and when it was completed there would be no further ne cessity for using the pumps, as the water would flow out to the combination shaft and thence be pumped into Sutro tunnel By this means the expenses of the Sav age mine would be reduced one-fourth per month of what they are at present. Mr. Coleman said the Savage managers bad no hostile intentions toward the lisle & Norcross people. The latter would be given ample time to protect themi selves. They could, , if desired, erect bulkheads In the drTftsr connecting with the Savage, and thus keep out the water, or the Saviiee numns would be keot run ning if the Hale & Norcross people would stand tne expense or tne same, ine action of the Savage Company was purely economical and no work would be done In the lower levels except at great'y re dueed co4. ' Motrenchment is the Word. Sam I acisco, Dec. 15. The board of supervisors made a good beginning this evening oy adopting a resolution reducing the salaries of employes in the various city offices under the control oftbe board. The hitrher salaried officers are reduced from 20 to 25 per cent, others five and ten per cent., and some oi tne more pooriy paid employes nave received an increase; the result being to effect an aggregate re auction of from ten to twelve per cent.

The break in values which followed the announcement that the pumping machin ery of the Savage mine was to be shut down had caused so much uneasiness that prominent stockholders and brokers have counseled tbe management to reconsider their resolution and endeavor to make some arrangement by which a portion of the expense of pumping m:iy be borne by the Hale & Norcross. Tbe managers of the two companies held a meeting this afternoon, the result of which has not yet transpired, but it is expected that some arrangement will be reached. The Hew Management.

A great demonstra tion in favor of free trade was made at Rochdale to-night. John Bright and Thomas Bayley Potter were present. Resolutions were naseed thanking Potter for bis efforts, and those of free traders in tbe Uuited States, to promete free trade with America, Potter made a speech iu which he said be reciprocated kindly tne sentiments expressed by Americans to. wards Englishmen at many gatherings which he attended in America. He paid a high compliment to the sobriety and fraternal behaviour of the Americans, and concluded by presenting to Bright a number of congratulatory letters from chief American cities, in which hope was expressed that Bright would see America before he died. Bright, in reply, said he could not adequately express his thanks for these letters. lie had received hun dreds of invitations to visit the United States, including one from President naves to stay at the White House as long as he liked, but he was obliged to decline all of them. He hoped that his friends in tbe United States would believe that he fully appreciated their kindness, but be feared there was little chance of his ac cepting their invitations. Mr. Bright then proceeded to descant on the vastness of the United States as compared with European countries, and concluded by saying he believed there was no country wuu wnom an otner countries were more friendly than with the United States- FOREIGN. More Agitation. London, Dec. 13. Several large land agitation meetings were held in West moreland to-day. A meeting at Kalliua was presided over by a Catholic Clergy man. A corps of pikeinen surrounded the place of meeting. Letters were read from Parnell, Patrick. James Smvth. John O'Conner Power and Edmuud Dwyer Gray, apologizing for their absence. Among the speakers were several Catho lic clergymeu. The government reporters were present taking notes of the sneeches. nrowu in ins address stated some or the causes of the distress to be the comnnti- tion of American produce and bad seasons at nome. All or the speakers advocated the peasant proprietary system. Heavy Failure. Pkoria. Dec. 18.

History of Land Tenancy In Ireland The New York Herahrs correspondent at Belfast has interviewed Bieear, who said: I dispute the absolute right to the land which landlords claim. The his tory of land tenancy in Ireland cannot be ignored as Englishmen ignore it. The original grants to the landlords by Eng lish kings did not give them the rights which they now claim. Tenants then had as much interest and participation in the land as tne landlords, who only managed it for their mutual benefit. The only nent wnion tne landlords nave is pre scription, one of the chief provisions of the grant being the engagement to fur nish a certain number of soldiers. Land lords gradually assumed absolute owner ship, and exercised the right to depopu late estates at will. Moreover, the Eng lish kings had no right to give grants ex tending beyond their own reign. I claim, therefore, that Queen Victoria's Parlia ment has the right at the present time to dispose of this property as it may think Deal tor ail classes, u you allow that the landlord has the absolute r'g it he claims to turn off the population, ax the Dtki of Sutherland in Scotland did, yon have only to logically extend t'ae argument to prove that be has tho power to rent his land to the I rench Government, to al low French engineers to erect fortifica tions thereon, and to populate it with French soldiers, to the constant menace of England. Landlords assume that their absolute ownership of the land is acknowledged. This is not so; l'arlia ment did not acknowledge it when, in 1838, it passed the poor law, and forced the landlordf to tiav half the noor rate. though previously the landlords bad not paid a penny to the support of the poor, Gladstone's Land Act was another attack oa the rights claimed by the landlords. The Ex-Premier himseir recently as- knowledged the Parliament's right over the land. This disposes of the talk about confiscation and the taking of what belongs to another. Correspondent. supposing the people possessed the land, would there not be a new race of landlords in a few years' time? Mr. Biggar. No; the first instinct of an Irishman is to keep all the land he can work. He would never sell unless obliged to. Of course there wonld be exceptions, but as a rule there wonld be bnt few landlords. One great reason for rack- renting is that the tenants may lie kept from increasing tne size of their hold' ings. This was not always so. About thirty years ago the landlords thought it would be most profitable to let the land in large farms, and thus oblige the bulk of the population to work as farm labor- ers. 13ut this plan causes such a great increase in wages that large farms did not pay on account or tne cost oiwohe- ing them, and to-day a farm of wenfr4 acres, wmcn may do worked Dy arartuer and his family, will sell lor as mCh as a farm twice the size, because Stf latter necessitates hiring laborer-' My idea f the settlement of thf i:inl question is as follows: I wonld 'first fix the . yearly value of the holdings, giving the tenant credit for all the improvements. 1 would deprive the landlord of the power of ejection so long as the rent was paid Furthermore, I would give the tenant the option of buying up the land in fixed number of years, after which the tenant would himself be the owner. Correspondent. What do you think would be the effect of such a plan? Biggar. Prosperous peasantry, and the productive power of the country doubled. Correspondent. Your plan differs from Parnells. . Biggar. Only as regards detail. In principle we agree. Parnells plan is perfectly feasible, however. Correspondent. To what extent does the agitation depend on Parnell? Biggar. Almost entirely. The people need a leader, and he is eminently fitted for such a post. , Correspondent. Do your Home Bule principles and sympathy with Parnell's crusade affect your business? i Biggar. No; although I know of three cases one in Ireland, one in England and one in Scotland where my agents were rebuffed on the ground, as one dealer expressed it, that Home Rule hams were not wanted. American com petition, however, is making itself seri ously felt in the provision trade through out Great Britain. Biggar is tbe owner of a large provis ion eswuusiuneui in Denast.

Extracts from the most characteristic are given below. Just previous to the great fight lie wrote to his wife; - ; - - ' ; "The defeat of our army at Corinth, which I saw in the rebel papers, will give us a much harder fight. Men are easily depressed or elated by victory; but as being prepared for the defeat I certainly am not. Any man who is pre pared for defeat would be half defeated before he commenced. I hope for suc cess; shall do all in my power to secure it, and trust to God for the rest." After the victory was won he wrote: "April 25, 1862 Mr Deabast Wot and Boy: I am so agitated that I can scarcely write, and shall only tell you that it has pleased Almighty God to pre serve my life through a fire such aa the world has scarcely known. I shall re turn properly my thanks, as well as those of the fleet, for His goodness and mercy. He has permitted me to make a name for my dear boy's inheritance, as well as for my comfort and that or my family, we lost about thirty killed and ninety wounded. I lost no officers. Jim es caped, but the other two servants were wounded. I took the city at meridian to-day. Such vandalism I never wit nessed as the destruction of property. All the beautiful steamers and ships were set on fire and consumed. Captain Bell is well. He acted his part nobly. In fact, all the officers did their duty to my admiration; which I will notice at a more convenient season. 1 have only time to thank God and bless yon both. ' Later he writes: "Of course all the New Orleans papers abused me, but I am case-hardened to all that. I don't read the papers except to gain information about the war. I have done all I promised and all I was expected to do, so, thanks to God, I hope I have acquitted myself to the satisfac tion of my friends as well as my country." Before the war broke out it pained him exceedingly to think that he should ever have to lift his hand against the South, and in this letter his first return to the city of his childhood is referred to thus: "It is a strange thought that I am here among my relatives, yet not one has dared to say, 'I am happy to see you.' There is a reign of terror in this doomed city; but, although I am abused as one who wished to kill all the women and children, I still see a feeling of respect forme." In a private letter he cives free expres sion to his opinion of keeping sea-going vessels in a river like the Mississippi. After the passage of the batteries at Vicksburg he writes to his wife: I was in my favorite stand, the miz- zen-rigging, when all at once the Cap tain of the gun on the poop-deck wished to fire at a battery which would require him to point his gun near me, and re quested me to get down, which I did, to avoid the concussion. I was only a mo ment doing bo, when the whole mizzen rigging was cut away just above my head! . Although tho shot would not have struck me, I would have tumbled on deck. Bnt, thank God, I escaped with onlv a touch on the head, which did not break, the akin, aud. has not givan too a thought since. The same shot cut the halyards that hoisted my flag, which dropped to naif mast without being per ceived by us. This cirenmstanoe caused the other vessels to think that I was killed." After his return to New Orleans he wrote to one in his confidence: "Don't give yourself any uneasiness about any one trying to undermine me. I can see as much as any one, but don't choose to act upon it until the time comes. I fortify myself as well as I can, and trust to my honesty for the rest. Some will try to injure me, but I defy mem. Ho kept his eye upon the events of the war elsewhere, but was sceptical about a good many of the stories as they first came to hand, in tbe same letter he says: "The repulse of McClellan at Rich mond was a great blow to the Federal cause. There is no donbt in my mind that they beat us at lying. They spread reports tnat they haye a hundred thou sand men, when they have fifty thousand. It makes me so angry that I have no patience. The officers say they don t believe anything. I certainly be lieve very little that comes in the shape oi reports, l bey keep every body stirred np. I mean to be whipped or whip the enemy, and not be scared to death. In another, a fortnight letter, he says: "As to 'intervention,' I don't believe in it, and if it does come, you will find the United States not so easy a nnt to crack as they imagine. We have no dread of "rams or 'he goats, and if our editors had less the country wonld be better off. Now they scare everybody to ueatn. - The following lets us into one of the secrets or battle. It was written by Ad miral Porter to Farragut: io not, for God s sake, let the rebels take you by boarding. They will try it as sure as you are born. They line their vessels witk cotton bales, which resist shot perfectly. Let me recommend cotton wad over your shell, thoroughly saturated witn turpentine. sone5fv ne.rly dry.

The Admiral, he savs. listened ra- tiently, but replied: No, that will not do. It is true onr only child is on board by chance, and he is not in tne service; but being here he will act as one of mv aids, to assist in conveying my orders during the battle, and we will trust to Providence and la fortune tie la guerre. in a letter written before Mobile he says: - - -. . .. My sister writes me a long letter, beg ging me not to risk my life. How little people know of the risk of life. , Drayton made his clerk stay below because he was a young married man. All mv staff Watson, McKinley and Brownefl were in an exposed position on the poop deck, but escaped unhurt, while poor Hegin botham was killed. He was a good man and a loss to Drayton. -: tus idea of personal precautions in a S3a fight may be gained from a small cir cumstance. When the Hartford was steaming up before the Port Hudson bat teries, and every eye was strained for the opening shot, his thoughts reverted to his son, who stood before him. He had not time, says the biographer, to say much, but in the most affectionate manner gave him some practical hints as to the mode of using a tourniquet and stanching a wound. Taking from his pocket a simple piece of hempen rope about a yard in length, to which was se curely fastened at one end a piece of wood, he showed how quickly the rope could be passed around a wounded limb, and twisted tight by means the piece of wood, which acted as a lever. - Ilia belief in will-power, and of the power of his own will in particular, was m noiaoie as it was justifiable. Ihe following shows that Farragnt had no ambition for the Presidential honors threatened mm: I suppose you saw the notice of me as Jack the Giant-Killer, declaring that when I had taken Mobile they would 1 NO. 37. give me a suitable force to take Charles ton, and then run me for President of the United States. As if a man who has toiled np the ladder of life for fifty-two years, and had reached tne top round in his profession, did not need a little rest. My own "opinion is that if I survived those two engagements there is little doubt ' that a Presidential campaign wonld finish me. After I have finished my work I hope to spend the remainder of my days in peace and quiet with my family on the banks of the Hudson. That this was not idle talk was proved by his refusing the nomination of the Democratic party. The battle of Mobile bay is graphically described. - At one moment of the fray the Brooklyn, one of the vessels of the fleet, was seen to back by the Admiral on board the flagship Hartford. "What's the trouble?" was shouted through the trumpet from the flagship to the Brooklyn. . "Torpedoes !" was shouted , back in reply. "Damn the torpedoes'!" said Farragnt. "Four bells! Captain Drayton, go ahead. Jouett, full speed!" and the Hartford passed the Brooklyn, assumed the lead of the line, and led the fleet to victory. The romantic incident of the Admiral's being lashed to the mast has led to con siderable controversy, says his son. The difference of opinion resulted from the fact that Farragnt did not remain long in one position. While the fleet was enter ing the bay "he was in the port main rig ging, where he was secured by the sig nal quartermaster, as before mentioned. But when tbe ram made her attack he had returned to the deck, and when the Hartford was about to ram the Tennes see he took up his position in the port mizzen rigging, where, as his flag-lieutenant (now commander). J. C. Watson, says: 'I secured him by a lashing, passed with my own hands, having first begged him not to stand in such an exposed place.' It was no uncommon thing for him to show activity of this kind, and the sensible precaution suggested by his fleet captain, which he adopted, was an afterthought." Gone to the Bottom. Next to the pirate ship Alabama tbe Shenandoah, whose loss off the island ot Scotia in tbe Indian Ocean was reported the other day, was the moat famous of the rebel privateers which preyed on the commerce of the North during tbe late war. She was built at Glasgow, Scotland, and aunched under tbe name of the Sea King. On September 20, 1864, she was purchased for tbe (Jon federates, and after being fitted out, cleared for Matamoroa. At Madeira she met the steamer Laurel, which had previous Ir Bailed Irom Liverpool with a cargo of war materials, and officers and men for the Shenandoah. These werJ transferred to the rebel ship, which then began her piratical career. She subsequently went to Melbourne, and there strengthened her armament, departing from that port in Febru ary, 1865. On Juiy 28th, in that year, intelligence was received in Sew York that the Shenandoah had destroyed eight whaling vessels in tbe Arctic seas. This news came by way of San Francisco, where it was brought by the bark Milo, which bad been spared from destruction in order that she might tako the crews of the burned vessels to tbe United States. This and subsequent reports of the ravages worked by this scourge of the Bcas created intense excitement and anxiety throughout the .New Logland whaling ports. Hostilities had long before come to an end, but still reports continued to arrive ot tbe bbenandoah s destrnc tive work. Her captain, it was said, had been told of Lee's surrender, bnt refused to believe it, and consequent ly continued bis cruise. Finally, on .November b, lSbo. the rebel pirate ship arrived at Liverpool, and was there given np by her commander to the British authorities. Her officers and crew, numbering 133 men, were allowed to depart without puDisb ment, and after some delay the She nandoah was surrendered to tho con sul of tbe United States at Liverpool She was subsequently the subject of almost as much diplomatic corres pon dance as tho pirate Alabama. Tbe Geneva arbitrators decided that the British Government, by the failure to exercise due vigilance, became re sponsible for all the acts of the She nandoah after her departure Irom Melbourne, and tbe losses to Ameri can citizens caused thereby were in cluded in the Geneva award of $15,- OUO.OOU.

A strange and picturesque story comes " to us from the mountains of Towns coun ty. The authority that we Lave at pres ent is the official report of the deputy in charge of the squad which was interest-" ed. It apoeara that . fo -;v. - deputy marshal of Marshal Fitzsimmon's force, with seven assistant deputies and eight guards, organized for a raid into V Towns connty. One of the objects of the raid was to capture a man by the name of Berrony, who wasjreiorted to be a moonshiner? ami tlx, j - band of men organized for the purpose of defying the revenue officers and pro tecting the hidden stills of the mountain branches. The raiding party moved along quiet ly, and by nightfall was in the neighbor hood of BerronVs house. They waited untd the family had gone asleep, and then surrounded the house and closed in on the unsuspecting inmates. Berrony, though surprised while asleep, sprang from his bed and fled, clad only in his night clothes. Despite this light weight he was overtaken by the deputies, over powered and tied. In the meantime his family had awakened, and all came to the door in more or less confusion, making a good deal of fuss. While the deputies were engaged with the prisoner and the peo ple at the door, a daughter of the ni-in- oner, about eighteen years of age. slip- ymj. um vi uie ones: aoor, uressed only in the garment in which she had been sleep ing, and made for the mountain aide with the fleetneas of the antelone. Sho carried in her right hand a fox horn, and fled through the night like an appari- - uou. A deputy put out in pursuit of tho fleeing maiden, but his boots and clothes encumbered him, and she, tripping over the sleeping flowers with bare feet, soon reacnea tne top or tiie hill. Once there, she turned, and, like Roderick Dhu, she gave one blast on her bugle horn. It was "well nigh worth a thousand men" for, as the echoes of the horn died away in the valleys of the night, armed men gathered silently bnt swiftly to the call of the lightly clad but stout hearted bu gler. As rapidly as possible, the depntvhad his prisoner dressed, and forming his -men into close order, moved off towards the wagons. He and his men were fol lowed by the family of the prisoner who were constantly reimorced py the arrival of the mountaineers aroused and anrv. By the time the deputies had gone a mile the threatening force behind had grown to twenty or twenty-five men, and tilings looked squally. When they had reached a long narrow defile, the deputy in charge found that there was a large force of men in front of him. and that each ' side of the defile was held by Bharp shooting mountaineers, who were hidden in the woods. Tbe force in the rear was pressed closer on him, am he called m halt and began to look into things. He -rWad.his situation desperate.. He could tare uv way wiiuous "J 11" Wf'tTnn an armed squad and he felt that a fight in the dark could promise nothimr bnt bloodshed and death. He therefore be gan to parley. The mountaineers de manded the release of Berrony, who is said to be their leader. The deputy at at first protested and refused, but he soon found that there were fifty men op posed te him with the advantage of po sition. The mn agreed ' that certain discovered stills should be given no. but the would not listen to Berrony being ' taken away. At length the deputy sur rendered him, and he joined his friends in the woods. The deputies had two other prisoners. and attempted to get away x with them. Asiney were marching along through the dark some one whispered to one of the deputies, "Come this way." He sup posed tnat was one or nis fellow depu ties, and moved in the direction indi cated. ' Suddenly he was knocked down and bundled up and pitched into a fence corner. The deputies discovering his capture, halted again and held a little council of war. 1 hey were afraid to fire on the "moonshiners," because they sup posed the missing deputy was in their power, and the moonshiners were afraid to fire on them for fear of hitting the prisoners. The two squads con fronted each other quietly in the dark woods for a while, when the deputies silently bnt in good order withdrew and hurried out of Towns connty. They , carried off their two prisoners, but left Berrony behind. This is the report in substance as mae by the deputy to Marshal Fitzsimtnor s. The Marshal is not in the city at present. . bnt we presume when he returns he will take steps to have the arrest of the defi ant mountaineer made over again, and made so that it will stick. '-; V A LATEB ACCOUXT. Mr. Robinson, the deputy who was in charge of the raiding party, has reached the city, and gives a full account of the affair. He says that. ii-ia impossible to over-eatiniptc ihe aefiance with which the monntainers met the officers. He says that Berrony is a Frenchman of bravery and ability and shrewdness, and that be has a determined following that fully understands the situation. He says that when he arrested Berrony he said: ' " I have two stills sad there thry are. Ft been running them for tea years, aed I defy you to take them." When his friends began to gather in the woods and darkness he wonld call ont to them. "There's only twelve of them here,- but thWlh2l Don't attack them till the resiC' tUe boJ'i come. hm: l Robinson turned and said to- h 'm The first shot they fire on us I'llVi 1 you." lie replied: f "rim ana be d II you hurt me there won t a man of yen get ont of these hills alive." ' He th n went on and said: "if you don t hurt me they won't hnrt yon." When an attack seemed imminent, one of the deputies said to Berrony: "Throw npyour hat and tell them not to shoot." Berrony laughed and said: ; "If I threw np my hat they'd shoot sure." - He talked with his ambushed friends with the utmost freedom and noncha lance, and seemed to be jolly over the crowd of them that were gathering. Aftrr he Lad been released, he turned to Shepherd, one of the Deputy Collectors, and said: "Shepherd, I want to warn you now that if you ever come over the&t mountains again, you are a dead man." Mr. ltobinbon said that the organiza tion seemod perfect, and that the moun taineers sank out of view like shadows at a sign frota their leader, or came to tie front at his eall.
