Ia OCA Ia MATTERS.
A|Suddzn Death.—Las; evening Mrs. Manian, aged
Shears, residing at the Southwest corner of Sew
Houston A Bull streets, south of the Parade Square,
sent to a neighbor and obtained a pint of whiskey.
This morning the Post Guard discovering tl*e house
closed and Mrs. Manian not about, as was her usual
custom, entered the house and found her lying dead
in her bed. Mrs. Manian, it Is supposed, died from
apoplexy.
Fob Augusta.—This morning the Steamers Helen
and Gen. Shepley departed for Augusta.
The Plague of Locusts—Singu
lar Scenes in Jaffa.
A letter dated at Jaffa (Palestine) June 20,
describes a visitation of locusts as follows:
In the month of April fast we observed
twice large dark clouds, resembling smoke,
moving to and fro as if swayed by the wind.
One morniDg these clouds "came down and
proved to be locusts, so great in number
that the whole land was covered with them.
The grain at that time was full in ear and
nearly ripe, but the locusts did not touch it
or any other vegetation. Soon after, how
ever, it was observed that they buried them
selves in the soil and there deposited their
innumerable eggs. The Arabs and peasants
saw the approaching mischief, and went
through the land in thousands digging for
these eggs; they succeeded to a certain de
gree, and destroyed incredible numbers with
water and fire, but all their efforts had very
little effect.
About the ipiddle of May small black crea
tures, at a distance resembling large ants,
were observed accumulating in large heaps
throughout the country, and a few days af
ter they had been thus seen they began to
leap, and manifested the coming calamity
aud invasion of the fearful army, as describ
ed so emphatically in Joel ii. The people
now began to sweep them together aud bury
gr burn item in ditches dug tor the purpose.
But ail to little or no effect, and as they grew
a little larger the extent of their multitude
began to be seen, and the coming catastrophe
could not be mistake!). The roads were cover
ed w ith ibem.aH marching in regular linesdike
armies of soldiers, with their lenders in frout,
aDd all the opposition of man to arrest their
progress was in vain.
They first consumed the plantations around
RamlVh, Lydda and ail the smaller villages
near them, and then entering the towns and
villages consumed the victuals. Ac. in the
market and streets, by degrees forcing them
selves into the houses and covering the walls
outside as well as inside. It seems that
everything which is moistened by their saliva
is poisoned, for the cattle that feed on the
remnants which are left all die. I myself saw
fifty oxen dead in the village of Delta, Dag
gon and Zaflarish that had fed on the rem
nant of durrah (Indian corn) left by the lo
custs, and the night before last twenty more
died from the same cause.
About two weeks ago they were seen to a
fearful extent all round Jaffa, but still with
out wings- The town for several days ap
peared forsaken, all shops were shut, all
business suspended. Almost all tbe inhabit
ants bad gone out to destroy and drive away
the invadißg army; thev made tremendous
ditches, and buried ana burned countless
myriads, but, as before, all in vaiu, for the
more ‘.hey destroyed the more seemed to
arise from hiding places, and as they grew
in size so they seemed to grow in multitude,
niad toward the east from here they covered
tbe ground lor miles and miles to a height of
several Inches. As their wings are still too
small to enable them to fly aud to visit the
several hundred gardens within the cultivat
ed part of the district of Jaffa, they have
hitherto confined their destructions to the
outer gardens, of which about fifty have
been completely laid waste, eveiy green leaf,
vegetable, tree, and even the bark of young
trees, devoured, and these beautiful gardens
look like a birch tree forest in winter.
Our garden was one of tile first attacked.
For several days wo saw the destructive host
Advancing ; all our farm servants, ns well ns
several hired laborers, were employed to
keep them off, todrive them away, or bury
tbem, but we found them as Joel describes
them, chap ii., ver. 7. “They shall not
break their ranks.’ Who can doubt the
Word of God when we have these cvideuces
before our eyes? True, our men broke their
ranks for a moment, but no sooner had they
passed the men than they closed again, and
marched forward through hedges and ditch
es, as if united by some mysterious power,
causing them to open before man, and to
close again as soon as they had passed him.
On the 14th instant they torced their way in
to the garden, defying all human efforts to
prevent them, and in less than a day the
whole garden, to the extent of eight acres,
was covered with them, and tbe trees, to the
number of three thousaud, as well as every
other green leaf, with the exception of the
palm trees and tiie prickly pear hedges, were
stripped.
Whether eating or drinking, reading or
writing, or lying awake in bed (for it is im
possible to sleep) one hears their noise from
without, like the noise of armed hosts or of
the running of many waters, aud within they
keep dropping on and about you. At meals
I am kept busy driving them away ; while I
drive haif a dozen away from the bread as
many will jump into tbe sugar basin, or
even into my cup of tea, &e., and wheu un
dressing they leap out ot our very clothes
without our having known that they were
there.
News has just readied us from Nablous;
the olive trees in those mountain have all
been stripped, and near tbe river Oudge the
soil Vs so thickly covered with these crea
tures that many of the animals led there to
drink refuse to'pass on."
Another letter of a later daterfays that
"They are in nowise deereasiug, rather
the opposite. Every native inhabitant has
been ordered by government to bring fifteen
pound weight of locusts daily, and those who
do not are find XI sterling each time."
. Hr. Showman's Remarks.—' This gentle
man is the African anaconda; he has stripes
extending from his cars to the end of his tail-
that hand organ there. This snake
being used to the hot sands of his native land
it is never too hot for him; in cold weather
he has to be done up in red flannel to keep
warm; he is the most wonderful snake in the
world, and the only one ot the kind on this
or any other continent; Change the tunc on
that hand-organ ; this snake feeds on chick-1
ens and other wild animals, and eats his four
meals a day with impunity or with the other
snake; be can live in the water as well as on
land, was brought to this country in the
Mayflower, in 1776, and is consequently “an
old bird,"as the saying is; the snake gentle
men, is a wonderful animal, and is only ap
preciated when seen!
“This ’ere, gents, is the rhinocerious, or
great Juggernaut of the Hindoo Island!; he
is from the classic land spoken of by Afri
ca’s favorite poet, Horace Greeley, where the
States —and Afric’s sons shall flee into the
mountains of Hepsidam, where the lion roar
etta and the wbangdoodle mourueth for her
first-born, ah! The monkeys are in the next
cage, gents, and—play Dixie on that hand or
gan, there ! What are you about ?—our or
chestra, gents, is sick ; the monkey is a very
singular and scarce animal; he resembles
the human species, and may sometimes be
one. Monsieur Ker Whang will show you
tome feats in magic, while the organ plays
the ‘Dead Beat to Saul’, from the opera of
the ‘Rogue’s March. Walk in gentleman,
and see the show, for the merely nominal
sum of two bits, and a glass of iced lemonade
thrown in 1"

1 New Aaron Birr Enterprise.
Grand Scheme of Southern Smigra
tion to Mexico.
Object of General Breckinridge’s Visit
to France.
(Correspondence of the Sew York Sunday Mercury.)
That the miserable attempt of Foreign
Powers to set up a monarchy at <mr doors
is not to go without American aid, alasis
too mournfully revealed by tbe following
facts Our readers will be astounded ami
angered at what they learn from the subjoined
paragraphs, but tbe tacts are part and parcel
of contemporaneous history, and gladly as
we would suppress them, must be told :
This country has gi veu birth to few such men
as ex- Vice-President John C. Breckeuridge,
and that to one, perhaps, who united the
Ume originality, comprehension of intellect
with a spirit as'daring aud as bold. That ex
ception' is Aaron Burr. It is not strange,
then that men cast in the same mould should
pursue a like career. These seems indeed
to be a similarity in their fortunes, and thus
far the living man has trod in the same path
as tbe dead Both of these men were of dis
tinguished family, aud were alike affable
persuasive, influential, bold, and enterprising.
If they were unscrupulous, they scorned all
danger and knew no tear. Both, inj;keir time
were iawvers, statesmen, and warriors, am!
Vice-Presidents of tbe United States—aud
both attempted to break up their govern
ment. Both failed.
Burr's great project, which looked to a
vice-royalty in Mexico, ended iu his financial
ruin, and after his trial he became an exile.
He was a bankrupt iu honor as well as iu
foitune, but his spirit was unconquered and
unconquerable. Breckenridge seems to be
his prototype. Burr went to Europe and en
deavored to enlist the great Napoleon in his
Mexico-project, but that sagacious monarch
declined to entertain his proposition, ouly
because all Europe was baDded against him;
and so Burr's Mexicun empire fell through.
Now, John C. Breckinridge has gone to
France to present to another Napoleon a
scheme iu many respects identical with that
of Burr. In other words, he proposes to en
list soldiers aud emigrate to the Empire of
Maximilian 1
It has hitherto been announced that Gen
eral Breckinridge sailed from Havana tor
Europe. We ate Dowable to say that this was
in pursuance of a plan agreed on in Havana,
and that bis mission is to secure the indorse
ment of bis scheme by the Emperor Napo
leon. The emigration is intended to embrace
all classes, including the aged and prudent
planter, as well as the stalwart and daring
youth of Kentucky and the South, whose
long service in the army Lave unfitted them
for the quiet and peaceable pursuits of life.
Thus, while the emigration will be bona fide,
the result will be to carry thousands of Con
federate soldiers into the army of Maximil
lian. These will, of course, be under the*
command of General Breckeuridge. Several
of his prominent military friends in the West
are only awaiting intelligence to execute his
orders. Iu the meantime, the uncertainty ot
labor, and other troubles in tbe Southern
States, are preparing large bodies of their
people for precisely such au enterprise.
Such is the plan originated by General
Breckenridge, and it Is a feasible one. He
was very popular in the South, and just tbe
leader to carry this through successfully.—
Always gentle and courteous, but brave even
to rashness, he won the plaudits of the peo
ple and the hearts of bis soldiers. Wlieuever
lie raises his standard again, thousands will
flock to him and follow his fortunes.
Tire DEDUCTION.
Thus the Mexican imbroglio seems com
plete. The culmination of European intrigue
and domestic perfidy seems to be at hand.—
The great Republic is to be forced into con
clusions for the safety of Republican institu
tions on this continent and the rescue of a
weaker sister State. For half a century
money, diplomacy, aud force have been
alternatively brought to bear to check our
advances and erect a monarchy in our path
of republican empire. Provideuce extri
cates us from domestic turmoil just in time to
catch the foe napping at our gates. We fiua
him “in flagrante delicta” with the blood of
his victims on his bauds and the dagger raised
to strike ourselves. Who shall repine it) un
heeding the remonstrance and the wrath of
this great people, the aggressor should
the defie his fate, aud who, should case
arise, will not join iu the cry re-echoing
irom the St. .jawrente to the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec, "Down with the Empire!
Long live the Republic!"
Discovery of a Temple of Juno at Pom
pie—Mention was lately made of the dis
covery at Pompii of a temple of Juuo, with
more than three hundred skeletous. Those
remains, which crumbled to dust by degrees
as they were brought to light, were those of
women and children who hud been buried
beneath the burning ashes thrown out by the
volcano nt the moment in which a sacrifice
was being offered up in tbe temple to the
Queen of the Gods, no doubt to implore her
to avert tbe terrible calamity which menaced
the city." To the arm of one of those skele
tons, which, from the rich jewels with which
it was covered, is supposed to have been
that of the high priestess, was still
attached, Ijy a goid ring, a censer of the
same metal filled with calcined perfumes.—
This vessel is of the lortn of those now used
in the ceremonies of Catholic churches, aud
is of beautiful workmanship and inlaid with
precious stoues. The statue of the goddess
is one of the most magnificent relics yet
found in that city ; its eyes are of enamel,
and on the neck and arms, as well as at the
ankles, are jewels and bracelets of precious
stones of the most exquisite finish aud ele
gance of form. The peacock placed at her
side is almost entirely composed of precious
stones. The tripod "before the altar is, like
the reuser, held by the high priestess, magnifi
cently worked gold. The temple also eou
taiued lamps, artistically chased, of bronze,
bronze, iron, silver and gold; brauches
of foliage, vine stems, interspersed
with flowers and fruit of the most beautilul
form. The space around tbe alter is paved
with splendid mosaics in excellent preserva
tion, aud tbe rest of the temple is inlaid with
small triangular blocks of white and purple
agate. The spot on which the sacrifices
were made is alone paved with marble. All
the instruments used ou the occasion were
still lying on a bronze table, aud the sacred
vases were filled with a redish matter which
is supposed to have been blood.
Haalth of New York. —The very unclean
conditon of the city of New York having
excited the fears of the community, tließeg
i istiar of statistics makes a statement by
which it appears that the number of deaths
for the months of June and July in 1864
were 71G ; for 1865, 907, on which the Trib
une remarks:
‘lt is a singular fact that the city is as
~ ’’J BBu ls i for if any place under the
spnrt tv ,f“ ever recel ved encouragement to
, 118 cohorts of death in the shape
verof aii*’, s , maU 'P 01 ’ yellow-fever aud fe
mno-nifif of hercolors Bnd kiudS) it ia this
foland" 1, C ' rly aud abominable neglected
The increased mortality for 1865 is owing
to the prevalaace of Cholera lufantum, the
eases reported standing at 359 for June and
July of 1801, and 591 for the corresponding
period this year.
• Tuk Indians. —By statements from the In
dian Bureau of the Department of the Inte
rior, it appears that the total number of In
dians within the limits of the United States
territories is 314,622. The larger tribes are
as follows: Choctaws, 17,000; Cberokees
19,730; Creeks, 25,000; Sioux, 27,423. The
superintendents of Inaian affairs and Indian
agents have been directed to suspend the
payment ol annuities during hostilities, and
are also cautioned not to furnish informa
tion to the public relative to the Indian*
Camus and Itwkt.
Tbe Aw York News thus explains the
different descriptions of United States
stocks: V. ■
Very many people are riot' familiar with
the diflerent forms of securities of the United
States government Lsued since the com
! mencemeut of the war. They haye been
introduced to the people of the, country un
der “taking" names, which of themselves
form au addition to our vocabulary not
found iu tbe standard dictionaries, and par
ticularly obscure to tbosc Southern
who have not bad the desire nor the oppor
tunity to cousult Northern papers for the
four years past. The most popular " catch
, word' for any of these different loans was
j the happy inspiration of our present Chief
| Justice and ex-Secretary of the Treasury,
! and tbe result was the “ seven-tbirtyt' loan,
I of which we have of late heard so much ;
I that is, a loan bearing interest at the rate
!of seven and thirty-oue-hundredtbs per
I cent, per year, and written 7 30. The
| charm of this novel rate of interest for
money was iu the ease of computing the
interest, a motive which excited con
siderable amusement abroad. For fifty
dollars the interest amounts to just one cent,
per day; for one thousand dollars, twenty
cent* per day; five thousaud dollars, one
dollar i>er day, etc. The amount of these
loans now outstanding is eight hundred and
thirty millions, and no more are authorized
until the next session‘of Congress. They are
payable in three years from the date of their
issue, interest payable every three months in
greenbacks. The ••five-twenty" and ‘len
lorty” phthises, which came into use soon
after, weie designations for bonds to bear In
terest in gold at the rate ot six per cent, tor
tlie first and five per cent for the second class.
The five-twenties are to !>e redeemed in five
years, oral the pleasure of the Government,
not under twenty years from May first, 1802,
or November first,- 1804, the date of the old
and new issues, as they are called. The
amount outstanding is over six buudred mil
lions. The "tcn-Forties” are likewise re
deemable in either ten or forty years as tiie
Government may choose, andbear interest at
five per cent, in gold. The amount
bonds outstanding is a trifle under two bun
died millions. The one year eertificates ure
also another kind of new expedient adopted
by the department since the war ; being a
note at interest payable one year from date.
These latter are no more than certificates
that the department owes so much ; yet they
have been largely used of late, and are sold
at about three per ceut. discount for cash.
The probabilities are that they will be so
largely issued before Congress meets again
that the discount will be much more than it
is now.
Pkayer fob Those in Authority.- —Bishop
Wilmer, of Alabama, has issued a letter to
the clergy iu his diocese, informing them
that “ the lapse of the Confederate govern
ment requires, of necessity, the omission of
the ‘ prayer for the President of the Confed-
States and all iu civil authority,'but
the immediate substitution of another form
of prayer does not follow of necessity." To
pray for all in authority is a duty, but a reli
gious and not a a political one, which civil
or military power has no right to enforce.—
The Church must be left free in this matter.
Tiie Church in this country has established
a form of prayer tor the President and all in
civil authority, and tiie Church desires for
that authority prosperity and long continu
ance ; but no one can be expected to desire
a long continuance of military rule, and
therefore the Bishop says the prayer is alto
gether inappropriate and inapplicable to the
present condition of things, when no civil
authority exists in tiie exercise of its func
tions. A government founded upon force
may be prayed for, but not its continuance.
The Bishop's conclusion and direction is,
that “ when civil authority shall be restored
iu the Slate of Alabama, the clergy shall
use the form entitled ‘ a prayer for the
President ot the United States and all
in civil authority,’ as it stands iu the book of
Common Prayer." Meantime, obedience to
"the yiowers that be" in temporal matters is
the duty of clergy and laity.
Population or New York, —A census of
the State ol New York is now in progress,
and the returns of New York city show that
its population is 1,003,250; an increase of
180,581 since 1800. The total valuation ot
property iu the city is §(>08,784,355, Real
estate increased $s 1C,035,890, while personal
estate nominally fell off Slit,ooo,ooo, owiug
largely to the fact that tile government bonds
are non-taxabie. It. is estimated that tiie
aggregate population of the State is 4,350,-
000.

Officers.. n
Each Assistant Commissioner will he careful, in the
establishment of sub-districts, to have the oflice of bii
xgent at some point easy of access for the people el
the sub-district.
He will have at least one agent, eithar a citizen,
military officer, or enlisted man. in eaA sub-district
This agent must be thoroughly instructed in his du.
ties, lie will be iui ui.-hed with the proper blanks fa
contracts, aud will instlintemethods adequate to mee
the wants of his district iu accordance with the rules
of this Bateau No fixed rates of wages will be ure '
scribed for a district, but in order to regulate fidrwitM
in giv\ 11 individual eases, the agent sh mid liave'ln
mind minimum rates for his own guidance By cure
ful inquiry as to the hire of an able-bodied man whet
the pay weul to the master, he will have an hppruxi.
mate tent of the value of labor. He must ot conra
cousider the entire change of circumstances, and be
sure that the laborer has due piotectiou against avarice
aud extortion. Wages had better be secured by alien
on the crops or land. Employers are desired to eutsi
Into written agreements with employees, setting forth
stated wages, or securing an interest In the land oi
crop, or both. All such agreements will be approved
by the nearest agent, and a duplicate filed in his office
lu case there should be uo ageut within reach, tht
nearest postmaster wm lorwarti the duplicate of con
tracts direct to the Assistant Commissioner for the
State. ,
Attention Is specially called to section 4 of the la*
est ablishing the Bureau, with regard to setting spar
land to -every male citizeu, whether refugee or freed
man," Ac., aud the same arrangement is recommend
ed when it can be effected, between private parties
Already many farmers have rented lands to freodinet
and refugees This course is a recognition of the get
eral principal in the law.
In order to enforce the fulfillment of contracts ot
both contracting parties, the C'ommissiotier of the Bu
reuU lays down no general rule—the Assistant (Join
mlssiouer must use the privileges and authority h*
already has. Provost courts, military commissions
local courts, when the freedmen and reiujeeshavt
equal rights with other people, are open 10 his nse. it
the great majority or eases his own arbitrament. 01
that of his agent, or the settlement by referees, wll
be sufficient.
No Assistant Commissioner or agent, la authorized
to tolerate compulsory unpaid labor, except tor the
legal punishment of crime, buffering may result to
some extern, bat suffering Is preferred to slavery, and
is to some degree the nece.-aa y consequence of events.
Iu all actions the officer should never forget that uo
substitute lor slavery, like apprenticeship without
proper con.cut, or peonage, (1. e., either holding the
people by debt, or confining them, without consent,
to the laud by any system.} will be tolerated.
Tiie Assistant Commissioner will designate one or
more ol his ngc-nts to act as the general superinten
dent of schools (one lor each State} for refugees snd
freedmen. This officer will work as much as possible
in conjunction with btate officers who may have school
mutters in charge. If a general system can he adopt
ed fur a State, it is well; hut If not, he will attest
take'cognizance of all that L being done to cduc.it
refugees aud freedmen, secure proper protection u
schools aud teachers, promote method and efficiency
correspond with the benevolent agencies which art
supplying his field, and aid the Assistant Commission
er iu making his required reports.
bur-tun C. W. Horner, Chief Medical Officer of the
Bureau, will have the general supervision of medial
mutters connected with refugees aud freedmen
The Assistant Commissioners will instruct thelt
medical officers, as they have instructed other officers,
to make the medical department sclf-Sapporting as
lar as possible. , , ,
All public addresses of a character calculated to
create discontent are reprehensible ; but the Assietan'
Commissioner and his agents must explain, by con
stant recapitulation, the principles laws and regale
lions of this Bureau, to a 1 parties concerned. It i*
recommended to the Assistant Coramisslogers to draw
up iu writing a carelul summary to be publicly sna
privately read by agents throughout their respectin
