NEW YORK LETTER-
bounding eartli and
The Fenian Organization.
In Dnblin fire ot the parties who were arrested
in the first instance at the office of the IrisA
People newspaper, were committed for trial at
the then next commission on a charge of high
treason. There is not any new feature further
in reference to the Fenian movement, except that
the writers in English newspapers affect to
laugh at and treat the whole affair with ridicule,
and yet the authorities act as if they were ia
fear and trembling on the subject.
The Oi$<iijizatign in A ineiica.
On Mondays National Congress of the Fenian
brotherhood was held in Philadelphia, pursuant
to notice published to that effect. There wort
six hundred delegates present from the Northern,
the Western and the Eastern States, and the
affair ef Monday being only a preliminary meet
ing, an accession was expected for the grand
Secret Congress to be held yesterday eveuiog,
which would increase the number of principal
officers of the confraternity to fully one thousand
men of mark influence in professional ability,
military skill, wealth Bnd intelligence. One
thousand officers of held rank would represent a
tremendous army, whieh, if concentrated id
battle array under able commanders-in-chief,
would sweep England and all its plethorio riches
and insolence, and abominations in the science of
national crime, and misrule and oppression, into
the sea.
/ . / The. “Rebellion Loan."
The Rebellion Loan in England, as it is called,
is repudiated, Thu Timet declares that no one
principal in that establishment had ever sub
scribed to the Rebellion loan, and Mr. (Gladstone,
chancellor of the English Exchequer, gave direc
tions to have his name erased from the list, as he
alleges he never authorised any one to put it
there. John Bull and bis ministers are trembling
at the attitude lately taken by the American
Press on this subject, and they all a ay now : “I
had nothing to do with it." That is the last
phase of the treachery|nf England to both North
and South of the American Republic, but it will
not do.

1 From Our Speoial Correspondent.]
New York Citt, Oct. 18, 1865.
In all the various pursuits of life with
,lnih this great city is agitated, there is not
one so mysterious and uncertain, and so fleet
ing in its vicissitudes and results, as the money
market. Like “Will o’ the Wisp’’ in Ireland,
lt allures and deceives, and those who follow
u pur6ue a phantom, beautifully rendered fa
miliar by Goldsmith in two lines :
- And like the meteor,
Allures me tar, hut as I follow flies.
If the Ketchuras, who had something to
|„ se , and the small fry Jenkins, el hoc genus
w ho had nothing to lose except a repu
tation which was not good outside the four
walli of the counting house in which they
were paid large salaries for doing duty,
ofhees of which they betrayed—if those had
annulled the reflections of the fretful, fever
„b, fearful sleepless nights they suffered in a
wild career, they would not be at the present
writing confined in jail as common, self-con
victed felons. The stock exchange and the
gambling table are so nearly akin that the af j the p a _ j> ev Dr _ Loughlin, Bishop of Brooklyn,
” j *-•—n a nd the Rt. Rev. Dr. Timon, Bishop of Buffalo,
the consecration sermon having been pronounc-
finity can he hardly said to be “once removed,
ami it is only those who know something of
one or the other can form even a remote idea
of the madness contracted in the pursuit of
both, and the utter ruin which impends over
the victim being once involved. The career
of the votary of the stock exchange and the
gambling table may be briefly summed up in
two couplets from an illustrious author of the
early christiaus, Saint Augustine, who said in
reference to all passions which, once gaining
the ascendant:
"He who once sins, like him who slides on
boe^ quickly down the slippery paths of vice ;
Though conscience checks him, yet those rubs
sot o'er,
He slides on smoothly, and looks back no
more,"
not until overtaken by the avalauche, as in
the case of Young Ivetchnm and thu, Senile
Jenkins, in whose face and form the e^lence
wa? transparent that time and passion had
done their worst.
In this whirlpool of momentary gambling
m the dock exchange in Europe as well as in
America, there is no bona fide data by which
the outsiders, as well as those involved, can be
guided. Im my last letter, I gave you a sum
mary of the sales of stock for a given period
tn the stock exchange, whereby it was made
manifest that the transactions there could not
be valued dollar for dollar in paying and sell
ing, for the amount which it was set forth had
changed hands in one brief period of the pres
ent year, would be more than three times the
amoimt of the National debt of the United
States, and hence what was the pro rata value
current all that time. During the past week,
from Monday to Saturday inclusive, the money
market was fluctuating, exciting and depress
ing alternately, and the quotations ranged ac
cordingly in the value of Gold from 146 3-4 as
the highest to 144 1-2 as the lowest, and every
intermediate fraction was touched in the course
of the week. The causes assigned for the
rapid perturbations referred to, are by some, to
the vast amount of Government gold thrown
on the market for safe, by others to the alarm
treated in London by the Fenian movement
and the withdrawal of Gold from the Banks,
and the consequent advance in the rate of dis
count in the United Kingdom of Great Britain
f rom 4 1-2, 5 and 6 per cent, in a few days,
and the so ew being applied by banking insti
tutions in England and Ireland. Those are
mere conjectures, and the money dealers them
selves are just as much enlightened on the
subject as the greenest outsider who holds a
thousand dollars above his daily calls, not
knowing what to do with them.

Cotton.
In Liverpool the cotton market was not only

casioned by the tightness above referred to
taused some trifling fluctuations in prices, but
the general tone and activity of the business

Railway Accident in Pennsylvania.
A deplorable railroad accident occurred on
Saturday last at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by
which nine persons were killed and several
more seriously injured, men. women and chil
dren. The sad affair was occasioned by the
breaking of an axle of one of the carriages,
and the tearing out of the bottoms of the after
ca'rriages in which the victims were seated.
Crime in New York.
It-is a sad record which must be chronicled
daily in this city, and with which the great
majority -of the people are so familiar that
that each case passes away like a petty
case of minor occurrence, one event succeed-
ingthe "Other so rapidly that the former a few
hour* gone by is lost eight of in tbe later oc
currence. The state of crime in New York is
so fearful in extent and operation and frequen
cy withal, that one of the morning journals,
the Times, introduces the latest atrocity with
the ominious words: “The Usual Saturday
Night Murder.”
This barbarous disaster occurred in a drink
ing house at half-past two o’clock on Suuday
morning. The proprietor of a drinking store
or saloon in Hudson street, named Bamming,
a German, was stabbed in four places, from
the effects of which he suddenly expired.—
The perpetrator is at large. •
There are several other atrocious crimes
narrated in Monday morning’s papers, which
are further recorded in detail in the columns
of all tbe New York papers under the heads of,
“Stabbing Affray," “Atrocious Murder,”
“Shooting Affair.” “Female Brutally Assault
ed,” “Army Sutler Robbed,” “Found Dead-
Cause Unknown,” and various others, the re
volting details of which would not be worth
the space they would occupy in sustaining an
idea of moral sense in the prevalence of so
much depravity. A Professing Fenian, namec
Foley, stabbed Florence McCarthy, because
the latter said in joke that the Fenians “ought
to be all drowned.” t ,
Flections for Senatorial Rank.
All New York is in commotion pending the
forthcoming elections of candidates for Sena
torial rank in the next Congress of the Arrteri
can Union. K r ery day conventions and sub
committees are sitting actively engaged in
pursuit of the object in hand. The Republi
cans and the Democrats, and the Democrats
and the Republican’s seem to hare the course
all to themselves ; the Radicals and the Aboli
tionists, and I believe one or two other ista
and als. do not appear any where butin print—
to use the phrase of the race course, ‘ ‘they are
nowhere,” and yet it is said they exist. The
Republicans and the Democrats say that the
Radicals and the Abolitionists, and all the
other als and ists, if any there be, are all the
same nnder a variety of names, whilst others
averthat the only shade of difference between
the Republicans and the Democrats is, which
shall possess the greatest amount of State
patronage and public emolument, to be divided
and distributed and dispensed amongst.the'
electors who return their man. We wonder,
some say, is it all pure patriotism by which
they are actuated. A convention for the elec
tion of a Senator was held * few evening* agp,
and the convention was nqmerQus. 411 Tas
harmony end-gqed feeling; no observer not be
ing an eleptof "eould guess in the remotest
degree that a difference of opinion prevailed
amongst those assembled. Candidate* &avieg
been proposed, it beceme manifest that a dif
ference did exist, and forthwith a committee was
appointed to consider and adjust tbe coarse for:
adoption- and report to the General Convention
in half an honr.' The five elected wise ones re
tired to a* adjoining room and; remained closeted
there lor an honr. The meeting outside, “poor
devils,” as they were called, became im
patient and by applying heavy knocks
at the door exhibited symptoms of in-
<x eased impatience. No response from with
in, some of the youthful constituency, after
fatiguing themselves in some degree with manly
exercises in gymnasims in the spacious hall, at
length lived out, they ascended by means of
forma and tables to a glass reveal over tbe -door
of the private committee room, and lo 1 the first
announcement was : “They are not there—there
is not a being in the room.’’ Then the cry be
gan, and tbe merriment became uproarious, and
loud and playful. One cried out—“They ara
goDe to get a drink.” “No,” said another “they
are playing at hide and seek.” Another, at the
top of stentorian accents, belfowod forth, “they
are gone to the Levant in Europe to spend the
winter.” ' All these aud many more such ebulli
tions having escaped amidst peals of*laughter, a
youngster, in shrill accents, at the end of the
hail, said that the elected conventionalists “were
below outs de the door on the footway,”
and then withthe magic of, stage effect, ths dozen
or so who had the ferbearance to wait frem eight
until ten o’clock,. became suddenly active on
heel and toe, and fled with the rapidity of roekets
helther-ekelter down the hall, as if each man
wonld say: “devil take the hindmost,” and on'
arriving at the foot of the stair oase on the flag-
way outside the door, there was no committee
man nor conventionalist there; all were gone, and
thus ended the first step towards the nomination
of a candidate for Senatorial honors in ths Sixth
Distriot of the oity of New Y'ork. A further
meeting was held on Monday evening with simi
lar results.
Fire in a Cotton Store.
On Monday evening a fire was discovered on
the first floor of a large storage establishment
kept by Messrs. Harrison A Osbrey, in Bridge
streel. There was a large amount of property of
Various kinds deposited in those stores, amongst
whieh was cotton of considerable valne. The
damage in cotton alone is estimated at $700,000,
whioh will become, in some degree,; reduced by
salvage, and the entire amount of property de
stroyed by this disastrous fire is estimated in
value at considerably more than $1,000,000. Tbe
building and property were largely insured in
several offices. Strong grounds of suspicion are
entertained that the calamity thus referred to was
the diabolical aet of an inoendiary, as it appears
qnite manifest that the Quartermaster's buildings
adjoioing the store were intended to be included
in the ruin. There were four destructive fires in
the oity daring the week, for so far as it has
elapsed.
Physic and Surgery.
Mrs. C. S. Losier, M. D., delivered a lec
ture on Monday evening on the opening of
the session of physic and "surgery in the Fe
male College of Physicians and Surgeons in
this city. The lecture was numerously at
tended, principally by the gentler sex, who
manifested much interest in the lecturer’s ar
guments to demonstrate the usefulness and
necessity of female physicians in the treat
ment of their own sex. The delicacy of the
relations between the sexes, she said, acts as
an insurmountable obstacle to the success of
male practitioners in "many dangerous cases
She explained tbe advantages of the institu
tion, and said that it supplied the inmates with
that home-feeling which is so essential to re
covery.
fsuo Courts.
The criminal cases referred to by your cor
respondent in the last letter, which were set
down for hearing on Monday and following
days, have been postponed.
Lecture on Georgia.
The Rev. Mr. Caldwell, of Georgia, deliv-i
ered a lecture in the Baptist Church, Madison
street, on Monday evening, and in the course
of the reverend gentleman’s discourse, he drew;
a fearful picture of the state of destitution
with which the State of Georgia is threatened,
and said that if some means were not project
ed and acted upon to avert the impending]
calamity, that the great mass of the popula
tion, black and white, would be plunged iq
direful distress and destitution.
New York Colton Market.
During the last week, as already roferred to
in previous letters, the receipts of cotton were
heavy and the Easiness done animated and
satisfactory. The quantity received was about
41,500 bales, and the sales being extensive, the
rates were for the three grades usually quoted :
Uplands, 44, 60, 63. Florida, 44, 61, 64.—
Mobile, 45, 61, 64. New Orleans and Texas,
46, 62, 65. These were Saturday’s rates.—'
In Monday's sales, we find that the figures
vajy, for the quotations supplied to the report
ers by the proper authorities were: Uplands,
57, 61, 63; Florida, 51, 62, 64; Mobile, 5:
.62, 64; New Orleans and Texas, 52, 62, 63,
•with some activity in tbe market, hut sales
moreaasily affected; the 1 Sellers berinfc almost
disposed to yield, But this, perhaps, is one of
tbe feverish symptoms prevalent in all the
great mercantile and monetary transactions at
this and the other side of the Atlantic.
There was a further sale of Governmen’
cotton at auction yesterday, and rather npon a
large scale, 8,000 bales having been disposed
of. That quantity thrown npon the market
hsw had a depressive effect upon the legimate
gales in tbe ordinary mercantile course of
trade, and every grade of quality suffered a de-
pline qf fuljy one cent per pound. Mr. Simeon
Draper, United States Coiton Agent, conduct
ed the sale. The attendance was very large,
owing to tbe scarcity ol Savannah cotton. The
auctioneer announced that the cotton would be
sold for gold «t 146
half the lot is damaged, and sound bales were
classed separately, so that the buyers could
easily ascertain the difference. Everybody
seemed anxious to buy, and in most rases the
buyer would take the lot offered, ranging from
600 to 1000 bales. One lot of Sea Island, 142
bales, sold readily for 116 1-4 in gold.
At th© appointed hour the sale commenced

lo the stock market business was flat and un
steady daring the last three days, from Saturday
inclusive. On Monday Government securities
were lower and gold higher by a slender free
tion—firm would be the more appropriate
phrase. The Bulls and Bears were active, but
in general neither caught much by their motions.
In the legitimate course of mercantile and com.,
mercial transactions money can be bad freely on

rates touching 146 1-4, and farther on to 146 1*2.
This morning the value remains at much about
tbe same standard, with a trifling fluctuation of
no material interest. In the Stock and Share

Pi'iLADEU'BiA, Monday, Oct. 16, 1865.
The General Convention ot tbe Episcopal
Cburcb reassembled this morning.
This is tbe tenth day of tbe seas on.
The Rev. Dr. Wharton offered the following :
Whereas It has pleased Almighty God to re
store to our beloved communion its old relations
of brotherly afleetion and ecclesiastical duty, and
this to enable us to join in tbe great work of
preaching the gospel of Christ, in a Church not
only Apostolic, but one in heart and in organiza
tion throughout thu whole land ; and
Whereas, lt is fitting that we should set apart
a specific and distinct occasion for ibis distmot
ana surpassing mercy ; therefore
Resolved, That as it House we respond most
i;ratetallv to tbe invitation ot the House of
Bishops to meet tor the purpose of such thanks
giving to-morrow, and will join devoutly in its
services.
Mr. Bi uuot objected to the exception* of the
resolutions.
The Chair Btated that a similar resolution bad
already been adopted.
The preamble and resolution of Rev. Dr.
Wharton was tbea accepted and placed on the
recoid.
The Committee ou Canons reported an amend
ment, for thu purpose ot removing, the am
biguity of the cauons iu reference to tbe dismis
sion of clergymen from their parishes with
out the consent of the ecclesiastical authority.
The Committee ou Canons also reported a
series of amendments in reference to the
election and jurisdiction of Missionary Bish
ops.
The Committee on the Provincial System
reported, recommending the following canon
It is hereby declared to be lawful for the dio
ceses now existing or hereafter to exist within
the limits of States or commonwealths, to es
tablish for themselves a federate convention or
council representing such dioceses, which ma’
deliberate and decide upon the common inter
ests of the Church within that State and ex
ercise any delegated powers, not inconsistent
with the constitution and canons of this
Church.
The Hon. 8. B. Buggies moved that there
should be a special meetiug on Wednesday eve
ning of this week for the purpose of consider
ing the Provincial system.
The Rev. Dr. Hare moved the reference of
the proposed canon to the Committee on Can
ons.
The report on Missionary Bishops was then
made the order of the day for Tuesday.
The Rev. Dr. Mason then offered a report
from the Committee on Typographical Errors,
withfresolutious that the joint committee be

proof-sheets of the proposed standard Bible as
they appear from the press, after having un
dergone the examination of a typographical
corrector, who shall be guided by the edition
of 1852, printed at Oxford, in England, and
that the joint committee have authority to is
sue the Bible so printed as the standard edition

carrying out this object as they may deem ad

In view of the great political change*
hat have been wrought throughout our
of the war having swept away the great
element of antagonism whieh formerly
existed between the two sections, we
have resolved to send forth our sheet
under a new title. In adopting the new
name, which we trust will meet with the
approval of oar readers, we are actuated
by a desire to obliterate all traces of
sectionalism, and our future aim will be
to publish a paper which can be read
with pleasure aud profit at every fireside ;
iu the savannahs of the South and the
icy regions of the North. Our intention
is to make the Hawinnah National Repub
lican a cosmopolitan newspaper. The
generous support so kindly extended to
us by all classes of our oitizena, as well
as by our Northern and Western well
wishers, shall bejreciprocated by renewed
exertions on our part to-render the Sa-
vannali National Republican a welcome
visitor to the family circle, the counting
room and the workshop.
We have identified our interests with
those of Savannah, and while we may
politically differ and oppose some of our
best and warmest personal friends, we
shall strive to keep our columns undefiled
from tho Billingsgate slang that frequent
ly marked the political discussions of the
press. Our patrons may rest assured
that we shall in the fntnre as in the past,
continue to lend our aid to the advocacy
of all jnst and humane enterprises, and
whatever influence we possess, shall al
ways be used in encouraging the true in
terests of Savannah, Georgia and the
great American sisterhood of States. We
devote the columns of the Savannah Na
tional RepubRcat. Pro Bono Publico.
Our advertising friends North and our
exchanges will do us a great personal fa
vor by noticing the change of title, and
sending in future all communications to
“The {Savannah National Republican. "
