[From oar Regular Correspondent.) Nf.f York, August iOth. I xoLt> you so! lias been the exclamation all over town this week by the quid-nuncs, who always know so much more than any one else, whether such knowledge extends to the working of the cable or the prevalence of the cholera. Several telegraphic philosophers are in great glee, and seem to be as glad as many of our copperheads used to be at a Union deteat. There is no question but the cable will be underrun, if there is any break age or other casualty, and duly repaired, and we shall wake up some fine morning to read the beading, of the telegraphic columns of our papers announcing the connection be tween this and the Eastern continent as per fect. Depend upon it. there have been too many contingencies fully and amply provided for by the Atlantic Telegraph Company to allow a simple breakage to fatally militate against the final and complete success of this great undertaking. The “ I told you so’s” will have but a short time allowed them for their insane gratulations. I speak of what I do know.. The Outlets to New York are the air-pas sages to its lungs ; and, in accordance with the frequency these are used, will the con dition of its health be, high or low. These passages run in every direction—North, South East and West-up North river—down the Bay—up Harlem river, down East River— and across country over these rivers. Just now, moonlight excursions to Coney Island are very popular, and hundreds—aye thou sands of citizens take the two car-routes to reach and bathe in, and ramble along the beach of old ocean. Your correspondent, de pressed by the heat of the day, thought he was entitled to at least an evening's recrea tion, and turned his face seaward, accom panied'by a couple of beautiful and vivacious of course, young ladies. You will ask, no doubt— “lnsatiate archer, would not one suffice” ? To which I respond—No, sir ! I am neither exclusive—selfish —nor afflicted with that green sickness which sends one stealing off alone with a companion of like nature, into secluded pathways, and there resolving, in feelings and expressions, bengath the pale, soft-light of the moon, both into one. My disposition is of another nature. It radiates— it spreads and expands—casting rays of j< y and tun over all within its reach. Hence I took two lovely creatures with me. I would have taken more, if the car would have con tained them- But I fouud others in the car many others—who, if not equally as lovely, were, still, gay and happy. We reach the beach in due season—in advance even of the rising of Diana, who at length appeared in her fully developed proportions, her face glowing like a furnace, or, more properly speakiDg, suffused with blushes, as she slow ly ascended, seemingly from the depths of the sea. As she rose higher and higher, she divested herself of her crimson robes, and donned, apparently, a dress of silvery gossa mer. And there she rode the sky resplen dent in brilliancy—reflecting the smooth face of the calm and placid sea, while the sea in turn reflected her bright figure. The surf rolled and tumbled and foamed beautifully ; the breakers grappled and wrestled with each other, and, beneath the bright moon, spark led with phosphorescent light. The gam boling and roaring laughter of the rollicking surf—the ebb and flow of the rolling swells, ■ presented a picture so attractive that one couldstand hours and gaze upon it. But we did not stand h,ours and gaze upon it. The dancing, skipping surf laughingly mocked us for standing listlessly upon the sandy beach, while the receding wuters beckoned gracefully to us to come In and mingle in and partake of the ftm. Could we resist these invitations? Not at all: Soon we found ourselves plashing in the briny waters, with the surf and breakers playing mod pranks about our heads and shoulders. Now a sharp shriek from a girl pierces the ear, but it is suddenly smothered as she is tossed beneath a rolling swell, and iollowed by her laughter, as her head, full as suddely, re-ap pears on the” surface of the waters. Then the somersaults—(by The gentlemen, not the ladles)—then the diving, the swimming, the floating, And the floundering. Oh ! but it is Jolly! And all enjoy it so well. All partake of the sports and the contra temps (if any there be.) Such anties as cau be played in the surf—such radiculous figures as are cut! It is a perfect combination of all the delight ful sensations experienced in the dances of the quadrille, the redowa, the polka, the waltz and the jig, with skating alder. And so refreshing and healthful! But as all things have an end—even the great Atlantic Cable, has had that, I fear twice, and as many times too often—our bathing at length ended. Then the dance at the hotel, then the ride home In an atmosphere cool, breezy, bracing and suffused with a silvery light from the moon, now shining like burnished silver in the star spangled dome over our heads. Reader, come to New York and make a moonlight excursion to Coney Island. Mabry in Haste—Repent at Leisure is a trite sayiug. This correspondence a few weeks since noted an elopement In this city of rather a remarkable character—where a young man accompanied a young lady to Niblo’s, and while there an acquaintance took the young lady out for an airing, and, as subsequently appeared, was married to her. The young lady not returning to her home that night, nor the next day, the young mao Who took her to the theatre was arrested for abduction, upon learning which the eloping parties appeared and released their unfortunate friend. This was the first act in this domestic drama. The second which has just transpired, terminated less happily. It appears the husband, a “gay and festive youth," is addicted to loving wine as well as women—and a very bad habit it is,—and not only occasionally, but semi-occasionally indulged his habit to such excess that enebriation followed. A few days since, finding himself in this condition he staggered into an Engine House in Wil liamsburg—a favorite resort of his—and while on the premises managed by some means to tumble into the vault attached to the building, where he laid for a number of hours before being discovered. He was then fished out by the firemen, who stripped him attached hose to a hydrant and gave him a shower bath. Under tills treatment it is needless say he was not only thoroughly cleansed, bat sobered. The next act will consist of a court scene, in which the wife will appear as plaintiff in a divorce case. Kgypt—The Cholera. The mortality from cholera has so far di minished that alarm is no longer felt. The first cases in Alexandria were reported on the 12th June, when there were three deaths. The mortality attained its maximum on the 3d July, when 228 deaths from cholera were reported. It has since been diminishing, and on the IBth only 18 deaths from cholera were reported. From the 12th June to the 18th July inclusive, the whole number ot deaths from Cholera in Alexandria, according to the official report, has been 3,931; from other disease*, 1,569; total, 5,300 The population of Alexandria, is estimated at 175,000. Id Cairo the first cases were re ported on the 20th June, when there were two deaths. There were two or three daily until the 24th, when 17 were reported. The mortality continued to increase, and attained its maximum on the 4th of July, when there were 457 deaths from cholera. * It has since diminished nearly every day. and on the 17th only 64 -deaths from cholera were reported. From the 20th June to the 17th July inclu sive the whole number of deaths from chol era in Cairo, according to the official reports, has been 5,249 ; from other diseases, 2,300; total, 7,549. The population of Cairo is es timated at 400,000. The improvement is at tributed to the prevalence of north winds and to the rise in the Nile. From the 10th to the 16th of July the wa ter in the Nile gained about eight inches. The mortality in some other parts of Egypt has been relatively greater than in Alexan dria and Cairo. In Daiuietta, for instance, a town ot 40,000 inhabitants, the cholera did not make its appearance until the 26th of June, when one death only was reported: but in nine days the mortality from cholera had reached no less than 172, which rate, had it continued, would have swept the whole population of the town out of exist ence in eight months. It continued with very little abatement for four days, the num ber of deaths from cholera on the stb, 6th, 7th and Bth of July being respectively 1 72, 171, 168. and 166, since which time the im provement experienced ylsewherq has hap pily been likewise felt at Damietta. Very few cases have been reported at Suez, and none, it is believed, have occurred in Upper Egypt. Tills is the sixth time that cholera has visited Egypt. Its previous visits were in 1831, 1838, 1848, 1850 and 1855. Ten years appear to be the longest cycle of ex emption. Among the deaths at Cairo have been those of the Rev. Mr Lieder, the ven erable English missionary, very well known to ail travellers in Egypt; and of Mrs. Lan sing, the wife of the Rev. Mr. Lansing, Amer ican missionary.— Times. THE SUEZ CANAL. __ Alexandria, July 15, 1865. The Irihme de Suez, the special organ of the Suez Canal Company, announces that the continuous navigable way from the Mediter ranean to the Red Sea will be opened to day. The Egypte says: “ We read in a letter from Djeddah that Capt. Cameron. Her Britanlc Majesty’s Con sul in Abysainia, has been relieved of the fetters in which he was long arbitrarily con fined, and that his complete release is shortly expected. King Theodore still keeps fettered hand and foot M. M. Stern and Rosenthal, the Herman Piotcstaut missionaries. His Majesty is very ill disposed toward these two gentleman for having ridiculed his claim of descent from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Insalubrity of the White House. —The following letter from the Secretary of the Interior to Major French, Commwsioner of Public Buildings, confirms the reports of tbe unhculthiness of the White House as a Sum mer residence. Department of the Interior ) Washington, Augusts, 1865.) Sib : It has been represented to me that the Executive Mansion is in an unhealthy location for a Summer residence, as lias been thoroughly attested by the experience of every family occupying it for a long series of years, each of them experiencing severe, and some ot them fatal sickness. It has also come to my knowledge that nearly every member of the family of the present Chief Magistrate, during the brief period they have been occupying the Executive Mansion, has been visited with serious illness, including the President in pft-son, to such an extent as to interrupt the transaction of public busi ness for many days together. You are, there fore, hereby requested and directed, after consulation with the President, nnd ascertain ing that it would be agreeable to him, to procure a suitable residence for his occupancy during the Summer and Autumnal mouths of the current fiscal year, on Georgetown Heights, or such other convenient and healthy location as he may indicate, and to fit up the same for his convenience and com fort, being careful to avoid all Unnecessary expense. Very respectfully, your oliedicnt servant, Jambs Harlan, Secretary. B. B. French, Esq., Commissioner of Public Buildings, Washington. Ex-Confederates Indicted—Damages for Imprisonment, Ac. —lu Roane county, West Virginia, last week, indictments were found by the Circuit Court, Judge Loomis presi ding, against neatly one hundred persons (guerrillas mostly) for horse stealing, mur der. and other like crimes. Col. T. A. Rob erts, who was a member of the West Vir ginia June Convention in 1861, and who was subsequently carried off from his home a prisoner to Richmond, obtained a judgement for forty thousand ddllars against those who were principally responsible for his captivity. Against Hugh Kyger, who Is wealthy, he ob tained a virdict tor tea theusand dollars, and thirty thousand against the following per sons, namely: Messrs. A. G. Ingraham, James L. Powell, A. G. Kiddle, William J. Riddlt Samuel Shepherd, Jr., and Thomas D. Goff. Frank M. Willis and George Allen were indicted for the murder of Baily Clevenger, a Union Soldier.

[From tlie Liverpool Courier, July 15.] Fenianism is, after all, not quite so phantas magoric as it has been believed. A corres pondent of the Dublin Express states that a body of men who were certainly enrolled Fenians, marched from Callan to'iviikeuny, to be present at the nomination of the coun ty members. They were about two hundred in number, and marched in genuine military style, carrying their bludgeons at the shoul der and keeping step with great accuracy-. Tneir movements were directed by two well dressed men, who kept them ’in good order, enforcing silence and keeping the “dressing" strictly. They had a band in front, which played tho incendiary tune “Fuv la!" but little was heard of it from the vehement cheering which the men raised at very short intervals. The Protestant popu lation of Ireland are beginning to call loudly for the suppression of those obviously illegal processions. ARREST OF A FENIAN CANDIDATE FOR PARLIA MENT. ** [From the Liverpool PCS?) Another unfortunate aspirant for senatorial honors has found a place in prison instead of in Parliament. Mr. Gill, the Fenian candi date for Tipperary county, was arrested by a creditor, and, as a consequence, his oppo nents, Mr. Moore and Mr. Dillon, have been elected. Although in consequence of Mr. Gill's pathetic address, in which he speaks of “captivity and exile,” he persuaded over 800 persons to vote for him. Mr. Gill has, how ever, the solace for his grief which the Latin proverb says is to be found in having com panions in trouble. Mr. George Hudson and Mr. Josiah Harris will prevent Mr. Peter Gill from feeling singular. Moreover, it will be some further consolation to him to know that a notorious baronet, whose previous outlawry seems to have constituted him a hero in the eyes of a certain Midland town famous for its election riots, would have been arrested if he had not been elected. He had been a member before, and as the forty days which the law provides must elapse before a member of Parliament can be arrested on ceasing to be one had not elapsed before the baronet in question was re-elected, he escaped captivity. AN IRISH FENIAN SENTENCED TO SKVF.N YEARS’ PENAL SERVITUDE. A man named Murphy was tried in Ite land on the i 7ih ult., for being connected with the Fenian movement, was convicted, and sentenced to seven years’ penal servi tude. Murphy's crime was tampering with soldiers and trying to induce them to desert and enlist in the Afnerican service. Chief Justice .Monaghan, addressing the prisoner, remarked “Your crime is one of the next, in the view of our law, to treason, and one of the gravest you could be guilty of.” The Cork Examiner, an Irish paper, com menting upon the trial, gets off the follow ing : There is a sad moral to bs read in the trial which has just been concluded at Mullingar, and a report of which may be found in an other column. It is one verson of the old, old story—conspiracy in Ireland, and thett’ betrayal.’ The fiery advocate of rebellion gets into a trap, the oath he is ready to ad minister is taken, and then information is given to the police. Then comes the trial and the sentence to seven years’ penal servi tude. And this is the end we foresee for Fenianism. Trouble, turmoil, treachery, and victimization for those who are sincere. The American share of it is delusion, the Irish portion means misety for the country and sad misfortune for individuals. In the Americ'au States the Fenians have served their turn, and will be cast aside by the govern ment now that they are no longer wanted, just as the ordnance stores and hired trans ports were got rid of on the cessation of the war. In Ireland comparatively little trouble is taken by the authorities, because every movement is known, and the supposed secrecy a complete delusiou. Men like un fortunate Murphy are and will be snapped up from time to time, and made to suffer the penalty of their rashness. But there is no more general and wide spread sweep of these misguided youths, only because the govern ment have no tear of their efforts. If any serious apprehension were caused by them, their families all over the country would be deprived of the means of support, and hun dreds of homeS would be rendered desolate. At present it is a play for excitable youth, with apparently only so much risk about it as may make it pleasant. But the time might come when the plaj r would be con verted into terrible earnest, and the brilliant dream which has misled the young, the ardent and the thoughtless, have a Sad awakening. No sane man can doubt what the end will be, even should the movement Fenianism represents develope into any bloody issue. But few believe that it can ever soar so far. The most probable end that cau be assigned to it is a repetition of the fate that ha 9 befallen Murphy. To us we must confess Feuiauism only appears an elaborate organization to get a number of young Irishmen transported. Increase of Crime, Under this head we find the following in the New York Herald of the ,9th inst: romantic history of a young female crimi nal. The criminal court of such a city as New York presents to the student of mental phil osophy a practical field for his operations. It is true tha( there he only witnesses the ab normal development of human nature ; but the variety of crimes on the calendar, the in dividuality of each case, and the wide differ ence there is in criminals, learned as well from their appearance as by the light reflect ’ ed from the witness staud, constitute an ever changing panorama, full of sad but instruc tive lessons. Atone moment may be seen the tender child, scarcely old enough, one would suppose, to leave its mother’s arms, who, from natural instinct, the neglect of parents, or vicious examples, or [what is still more lamentable) from actual training has pursued a course of theft. Near by stands the more advanced criminal, who, by con firmed habits of wrong doing, has become the accomplished forger, the skilful burglar, the daring highwayman, or, by yielding to ungovernable passion, inflamed by poison ous liquids, becomes the hardened murderer. Between these two extremes are often found those who, in an unguarded momeut, yield to the temptations of avarice, lust, passion, or the adverse turn of the wheel of fortune, and appear at the criminal bar for tbe first time. Thus, as we have said, the caleudar of the criminal court for a single day is full of interest, and if the secret history of these persons, from pratling childhood up to the period of their ignominious end, were re vealed, it would form an instructive chapter in literature. A case on yesterday’s calendar of the Gen eral Sessions teveals at least some incidents in the life of a female criminal full of romance and adventure, especially when the age of the subject is considered. Four years ago last June a beautiful young girl, only fourteen years of age, upon whose cheeks the flush of health vied with the fresh ness and beauty ,of the blooming rose, clothed in neat and elegant apparel, rode in an up town stage, seated beside the wife of a merchant prince. The fair Adelaide (for that was her name) with the skill of a master, abstracted the lady's portemonnaie from her pocket, which,’fortunately, contained but a few dol lars. She was suspected, and the lady im mediately caused her arrest. The services of eminent counsel were secured to defend the girl, and he succeeded in gettiog'the trial postponed till October. At that time she was arraigned upon an Indictment found by tbe Grand Jury, and tried by a jury of her fel low-citizens. The testimony of the lady was 6o clear and conclusive that, notwithstand ing the strong) and eloquent appeal which the apparent innocence and striking beauty of the culprit made to the sympathy of the jury on her behalf, they were compelled to find her guilty. Among the spectators in the court room while the trial progressed might have been seen a tall, motionless look-» ing female, whose countenance was an exact counterpart of Dickens’ character of Fagin, who, it will be remembered, trained juveniles to the profession of thieving. This was the mother of Adlaide Irwin, who, it was known to the authorities, had by a course of discip line succeeded in making her daughter one of the most experienced and consequently a very successful operator in the streets and public conveyances. Besides, her winning looks, refined manners and elegant dress en abled her to carry on her operations with profit and comparative security from detec tion. She was faithful in delivering the re sult of her unrighteous gains to her mother, who at this time resided in a fine house in Fortieth street. When the jury had pronounced the verdict of guilty the fair young thief exhibited mark ed signs ot penitence. She wept bittery, and would not be comforted; and as a result of this, the sympathy which pervnded the court room reached the bench, and under a solemn promise of good behavor, Adelaide was bid den to “go and sin no more.” The next chapter of her life opens in a largo retail fancy store on one of the leadlDg av enues, where she procured a situation as saleswoman, under an assumed name. For a time she ran well, and by her affability of manner and quickness of perception she became a favorite with her employers, and, it is needless to add, her services’ were in constant demand by lady customers. At. length she returned to her old ways, and was caught in the act of pilfering from the store. She was given into the custody of a police officer, who conveyed her to the Tombs, and while passing to the cell one of the attaches of the Sessions rec ognized in her the penitent Adelaide. He communicated his discovery to District At torney Hall, who had her arraigned on a previous charge of pocket picking, and the Recorder sentenced her to the Penitentiary for two years. While serving out her term of imprisonment on the island her personal attractions were such as to awaken the admi ration of the son of a very respectable gen tleman in this city, who was paying a flying visit to the institutions. He became so in fatuated with the charms of the fair Ade laide, who, though clothed in convicts at tire, still exhibited traces of beauty and in telligence, that he actually proposed mar riage, and shortly after the happy pair eloped from the Penitentiary and resided in the metropolis. She, probably, by calling into requisition the skill and services ol the dressmaker and barber, might have eluded the vigilent gaze of the practiced eye of the detective and ridden down Broadway or visited the opera and theatre and moved in fashionable circle unsuspected and unharm ed were it not she again yielded to what would seem to be a hereditary instinct to steal. She wa3 arrested recently on two charges— one of stealing a lady’s valise, containing wearing apparel valued at fifty dollars, and another similar to that—stealing a carpet bag containing cutlery and other articles be longing to Mrs. Brewster, of Newburg, which was taken from one of the staterooms of the steamer Thomas Cornell. It is a singular fact that the smitten lover and now the fond husband was so infatuated that he ac tually visited one of the ladies who made this recent charge, and begged her to inter pose witli the authorities in her behalf “ How can you love such a dreadful, wicked person?” inquired the lady. “If she is not an angel,” replied the pleader, “Itoveliei for the semblance. ’ He begged in vain for mercy, and the machinery of the law was again put into operation, which re sulted m the indictment of Adelaide on the above charges. Although cousiderably shaltered in physical appearance by the viciolis course of life she pursued, still traces of beauty were visible, and the writer, on a hasty glance at her face, which was enve loped in a veil and partly hid by a screen over the eyes, at once recognized the bloom ing maiden who four years before had cap tivated the spectators in that same room.— She simulated blindness when placed at the bar, and played her part* with admirable skill, hut it was whispered by the initiated that she really was laboring under an affec tion of the eyes, superinduced by her impru dent conduct. She well knew, however, as did her counsel, that the punishment due to her offences would only be aggravated by passing through the ordeal of a trial; for the prosecuting officer and the judge upon the bench were perfectly familiur with her brief but eventful career. She therefore discreetly pleaded guilty to the charge, throwing her self upon the clemency of the court The Recorder sentenced her to imprison ment in tlie State Prison for the term of three years. Her history affords another il lustration of the Scriptural aphorism, “The way of the transgressor is hard.” Negro Convention at Alexandria, Va.— Rosolutions Adopted. —Mr. Brown, from the committee, orffered the following resolu tions, which were adopted by a rising vote, after which three hearty cheers were given and a tiger for Gen. Butler: We, the American citizens of African des cent of the State of Virginia, in convention assembled, in the City of Alexandria, this 4th day of August, A. D. 1865, do adopt the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas, In the darkest hours of American history, when treason and rebellion swept over- the South, we remained loyal to the Government of the Unined States, 'and when the Government called us to arms we gladly came forth to fight her battles, and to pro tect the flag that had enslaved us; nnd Whereas, As peace is restored to tbe land, and the sound of tbe drum, or the tramp of troops or the boom of cannon is heard no more, and the States so late iu rebellion are about being restored to their relationship in the Federal Union under pretended loyalty— Ri so/eed, That any attempt to reconstruct the States, so late la open rebellion against the General Government, without giving to American citizens of African descent all the rights and immunities accorded to white citizens so late in open arms and hostility against the Government of the United States, is an act of gross injustice done to the loyal blacks, who compose the great loyal element of the Southern States. 2. That a petition be sent to Congress in the name of this convention, respectfully, yet most earnestly requesting them not to receive the Senators and Representatives elected from this State—Virginia—to seats in the Congress of the United States, and to keep the Slates under military control until ail the rights and immunities accorded to white citizens shall be accorded to us : and, Whereas. Good rulers make good and tiue subjects, which is illustrated m the case of Sueen Victoria on the one hand, and Louis apoleon on the other; and Whereas, This rule holds good with refer ence to rulei, from parent to king; and IKAereas, The reason why American rulers, and especially those in the Southern States, have been so thoroughly detested by colored men is because they have invariably hated us, and have joined hands with our oppres sors, and in many cases were our enemies and out oppressors ; and • Whereas, In the process of reconstruction and reappointing the officers of this State, we cannot look upon any one act, either-by the provisional government of the State of Virginia, or by any person bolding office, either by the appointment of Governor Pler pont, or as the result ot any election ordered by his authority, bare proved friendly to us, hut in every ease have they sought to de grade us ; therefore. Resolved, That we, members of the Con vention of colored citizens of Virginia as sembled, do respectfully but earnestly call upon Governor Pierpont to define his posi tion in reference to the repeal of all the black laws of Virginia which oppress and degrade us ; also, in reference to the franchise of colored citizens of Virginia. Resolved. That unless he does this favor ably, we cannot regard him as our friend. Resolved, That the very dubious course of the Governor has left both of ns and all true friends of the Union in a great uncertainty as to his fidelity to the principles upon which he has exalted to his position as Gov ernor of Virginia. Resolved, That we think all true friends of our race of all Schools, but especially the Hon. Cfaas. Sumner, Benjamin Wade, Hen ry Wilson, Gen. Terry and Turner, who have so recently suppressed the election of our enemies ; but none have a greater share of our love and respect than Gen. B. F. But ler, who first decided the fate of slavery A Drunken Man Steals a Locomotive— Collision. [from tfce Rochester Union, Augim £.] An accident of a somewhat expensive though very unusual character occurred last evening at Palmyra, on the New York Cen tial Railroad. A collision occurred, the mischief being done by a drunken man who took possession of an engine. About sp. m. a locomotive used for drawing a construction train was left upon the side tract at the station while the engineer! and fireman went to supper. A German who had been em ployed as a laborer on the road, was about the place in a state of intoxication. He had climbed upon the locomotive two or three times and was put off by the engineer.— Taking advautage of the absence of the en gineer, he mounted the locomotive and opened the throttle valve. The engine started down the branch towards the main track, and just then the Steamboat Express •came up from the east. A collision was inevitable. The mau wBo had started the engine saw the danger, jumped to the ground and ran away. The locomotives collided, smashing both pretty badly. The engine of rtie passenger train was thrown from the tract, together with the tender and baggage cars, and the passengers were somewhat jarred. The engineer and fireman jumped and saved themselves. No one was injured in the least. The train was delayed three hours or more by the accident. As soon as the train stopped, half-a-dozen persons who saw the movement gave chase to the author of the mischief, and brought him back. He was taken to jail, we understand, to await further orders. Tit. Fall Business. The New York World of the Bth inst., says: The fall trade throughout the country pro mises to be unusually active and profitable. The current year will add at least $200,000,- 000 in gold valuation to our uatioDal wealth from products of the Southern States. This sum, being from sources closed to our com merce for four years, is important in stren, h ening our whole financial fabric by additions of new active capital. Our commerce has, therefore, more of the natural elements of prosperity than it has had since 1860. Wall street, which always discounts the future, reflects it in the steady advance of prices since March. The exports for the past week amount to nearly $4,000,000, and embrace about 6,000 bales of cotton. In breadstuff* and provi sions the export clearances have been small, if we except two million pounds of cheese, and the value of the cotton exported was considerably more than one-third the wCole. The exports of cotton will be increasedSm mcdiately to about 10,000 bales per week, besides the shipments direct from southern ports. Killing of Two Partisan Warriors in the Opelousas Country.— From Opelousas we learn of the killing of two prominent men in that country a short time ago, to wit.: Car riere and Capt. Martin Gilloire, who were outlawed by the late Confederate authorities on account ol their organized resistance to the conscription. Ey their tact, energy and indomitable bravery, they were able to bid open defiance to the Rebel authority for over two years. In October last, Capt. Gilloire, at the head of 50 men, fought his way into the lines and reported at Port Hudson, asking for a supply of ammunition to take back to Carriere to carry on a partlsian warfare. The Union military authorities there en gaged their services as scouts, and after the surrender permitted the company to return to their homes, and to take their arm 9, to be used in self-defence. A few davs after the general surrender, Carriere, while on his way to report to the Union commander at Washington, was met by a party of late Confederates, who assumed to have authority from the commanding offi cer to arrest jayhawkers. Carriere agreed to accompany them to Washington, hut they insisted on taking him to Villa Platte. ' On hU refusal to go to that place, they de liberately murdered him. His objection to going to Villa Platte was the absence of Union troops at that place. A short time subsequent to that event, Gilloire’s bouse was surrounded at night, and, in bis attempt to escape, be was shot in several places, from which he died a few days ago at Washington. —New Orleans Picayune, July 29. Lnternal Revenue Decisions.— The Com missioner of Internal Revenue rules as fol lows : A peddler's license must be taken out by eveiy person who travel* from place to place selling mowing machines, and the sale of a single machine cannot be considered as sell ing at wholesale, and is not exempted by the provisions of the 32d clause of section 79. Where a mortgage contains a .power of at torney to sell, it is subject to stamp duty as a power of attorney, in addition to the duty required upon it as a mortgage. Where a partition ot real estate between joint tenants or tenants in common cannot be made with out bejiig detrimental to the parties concern ed, and the Court orders the referees to sell the land at public auction, and n deed of the same is made to the purchaser, such deed must, be stamped as other deeds. There is an actual sale and a valuable consideration passes. The stamp on the original process does not cover the deed. Where a mort gage is foreclosed and special execution is sues and the land is sold the same as on gen eral execution, the deed made by the Sheriff must be stamped as other, deeds. Rom an ism Hcpbhmk. —On Tuesday night a squad of soldiers belonging to the 6th Ken tucky, while under the influence of'strong drink, committed acts which will forever tarnish the bright fame won by that regi ment on many a hard-fought battle-field. Commencing on Marshall st., they broke open the doors of sevetal houses kept by -lewd women and threatened to kill the in mates. Leaving that street, they went through Hancock, where the same outrages were re gjaled. After this they made a rush through roadway firing their pistols in every direc tion, arousing the citizens from their slum bers and cresting a general reign of terror. Several persons were fired at, bat fortunately no one was hurt. We are informed that an elderly lady was struck by one of the ruf fians and badly hart A little after midnight, a party of some six drunken men passed down Green st., making night hideous with their noise. At the corner of Fifth st.. they assaulted a ne gro boy, who was returning from tbe Bt. Nicholas, taking from him his hat. — Louis vide Democrat. DRV POOPS AMP CLOTHING. H. A.
