FROM BALTIMORE,
The Odd Feliows 5 Celebration.
(jrand and Imosing Ceremonies.
Baltimore, Sept. 20, 18G. r ».
The procession moved at 11 o'clock, and
occupied just one hour in passing. The
column marched tour abreast, and was pre
ceded by a detachment of police and flanked
hy policemen, who kept the streets clqpr of
ail obstructions.
Most of the Lodges appeared in new rega
'lia* and there Were many new and elegant
banners displayed. Fine bands ot music
were interspersed throughout the line, and
gave spirit and zest to the display.
In the body of the procession appeared
some half dozen large wagons handsomely
decorated and crowded with young orphan
children, mostly girls, .who bore numerous
decorated shields, variously inscribed with
the names of various States and territories,
mottoes, &e. , . ,
These cars were each drawn by six horses
led by colored grooms, dressed in Turkish
costume. Following these carscame a large
number ol orphan boys, who, like the chil
dren iu the cars, are being educated at the
expense ol’ the older.
There were also many orphan children
accompanying the various lodges.
The rear of the procession was brought up
by the Grand Encampments, arranged in
their costly regalias.
A conspicuous feature of this portion of
the procession was the tent of the Grand En
campment, in which was seated the High
Priest of the Order, arrayed in his vestments
with the two guardians on either side of the
door clad in black velvet, wearing gilded
helmets and black velvet robes, studded
with gill buttons.
Last of all came the members of the Orand
Lodge.of the United Slates, in carriages.
To the disappointment of the great
body of spectators, the President ol the
United States was ~aot present, having been
prevented by official duties from accepting
the invitation.
The head of the procession readied the
monument shortly afternoon, when the line
was halted and arranged in open order, while
the Grnnd Lodge marched from the extreme
left to the stand erected near the base of the
monument, where the ceremony of unrobing
the statute of charity took place, atter pray
er by the Rev. Mr. Williamson.
The report of the Wildey Monument Com
mittee was read. _
Past Grand Sire Nicholson then formally
presented the monument to the Grand Lodge
of the United States, which was received on
their part by Past Sire Vcich in an eloquent
address.
After congratulating the Monument Com
mittee on their successtul execution of the
work, the Grand Sire said • I have character
ized this ns an interesting occasion, ttnd it
is truly so. It is interesting in the fact that
from this lime our order will go forth re
generated and vitalized upon its great labor
of love and brotherhood by reason of onr
happy reunion here to-day.
It is interesting in the tact that it supplies
an occasion for reflection and instruction.
We may survey trom this eminence, which
we now occupy, the career of our order from
its feeble and uupreteutious infancy, born of
humble men and ushered into an unfriendly
world.
We may look upon its founder as some
half century ago be trod these streets a
stranger and without friends, his exterior
mau symbolized by the rude base upon which
this column is sprung, yet enshrined within
a heart atter the divine image.
It is an interesting occasion also that it
assembles united brettiren at this shrine to do
honor and reverence to a great public bene
factor, and to testify before the world that
much as we love Odd Fellowship for its in
trinsic worth, we love it the more as the
great bond which unites the host which we
cumber as one man, moved as by one heart,
by one spirit, aud identified with the love and
hope ot one country.
It is interesting also because we are here
to renew our vows of fealty to a common
cause, to imbibe fresh inspiration of duty and
devotion, and to bear home with us influences
arising from this irteetiog which will diffuse
themselves throughout the order, and give
renewed force and power to the ties which
bind uv.
And beside these subjects of interest which
the occasion suggests, my brethren, there is
yet a more Commanding idea to be deducted
from the occasion and its surroundings. We
are not here-in private, engaged in tire mere
outward ceremony of inaugurating a mute
and inanimate shaft of marble. On the con
trary, there is at this moment an immense
multitude looting on these sights. Ido not
mean merely this concourse of citizens who
have honored us by their presence to-day.
This, vast as is its numbers, is hut a trifle of
the millions to which I refer.
The eye oi the world is upon us to scruti
nize our cause and its value to society at
large Nor is the movement which wc in
augurate mute; it speak 9, although inani
mate, oi u body of men united In deadly
strife', not against each other, not against
their fellow men, not against life, liberty or
property, not agaiust human rights and
prerogatives—no, but banded agaiust vice in
all its forms, agaiust peaury, want, disease
and the fierce passions of the race, under
the broad banner or fraternity and peace and
good will and love to man.
Men who come up here to-day nround the
common altar of our Order from every
quarter of our extended country, after the
terrific ordeal through which it has passed,
with hearts knit to each other, with an af
fection so unselfish aud a heroi-un so sub
lime as to demand the just admiration of true
men.
The scene at the monument was one of
surpasbiug interest, as formiug a complete
circle around the monument, the agitated
mass of humanity extended to a distance
not only far beyond bearing, but even bey
ond sight. From the summit of the hell,
one of the loftiest eminences in Baltimore,
the eye ranged vainly tor a limit to the push
ing aud driving thousands whom the occa
siou had called from their homes.
The procession having reached the monu
ment, the chastely decorated car containing
the high priest' of the encampments of the
Order, gorgeously habited in the symbolic
robes and regalia of his high office, was
drawn up to the left of the space on which
the platform wm erected, to the south ot the
monumeut, for the accommodation of the
diguitaries of the city and the chief officials
of the Order.
Upon either side of the platform were
rauged the cars prepared for the use of the
orphan children ot the order. Directly 4q
front of the platform, and rising from eithef
side, was an elegantly elaborated arch, paint-
ed and embellished to represent marble, sus
pended from the arch, aud uttached to it by
the symbolic links of the order were the
words: “Friendship, Love and Truth"
which, In turn, sustained in the same mystic
manner the phrase: “North, East, South
aud West," and yet beneath this the inspiring
invocation: “Proclaim Peace. ”
The follow ing letter, received by the com
mittee appointed to invite thcPre'sident, was
read by Grand Sire Nicholson :
Gentlemen: I have hoped to be able to
accept your kind invitation for to-morrow,
but I have found, upon careful survey, that
it would Ikj incompatible with existing ar
rangements. I pray you to believe that I
rejoice in the reunion of your order through
out the United States as an auspicious pie
sage ot the restoration of order and complete
political harmony throughout the Union. I
need hardly say that, in my judgment, this
is at the present moment the pioper aim of
true patriotism. I have the honor to be, very
respectfully, your obedient servant,
Andrew Johnson.
Addresses were delivered by Lieutenant
Governor Cox, ot Maryland, Air. Andrews,
of Texas, Air. Fisk, of Kentucky, Mr. Fitz
hugh, of Virginia, and Col. Duncan, of Mis
souri. The tenor of their remarks was con
gratulatory on the reunion of the Order, the
return of peace, and presaging a happy fu
ture, for the country.
LYNCH LAW LY NIAGARA.
To (Ac Editor <tf' the New York World :
I have been unable to .find in the columns
of your journal any account of a scene of
lynch law enacted on Friday last, within the
district of the Niagara suspension bridge.—
It appears that iu the small village in the
immediate neighborhood of the bridge, some
capitalists several years agti erected three
Urge “fancy houses” aqd furnished them in a
costly style of decoration.
For the last few yean) tbc inhabitants (&s I
was told on the spot) have been alarmed by
midnight rows and tbc discharge of firearms.
Men have disappeared, others found dead
under the banks, aud a general sense of in
security seems to have pressed upon the
miuds of the honest people ot the village.
On Friday morning it was reported at the
Niagara falls that a man had been shot early
in (tie morning near the suspension bridge,
the information did not seem to cause much
excitement, as the rumor was that it had
been done in a drunken browl It so
happened, however, that I and my friends
had arranged to go and see the whirlpool,
about a mile from this village.
As we approached the village we saw a
small column of smoke rising before us,
whereupon the driver got greatly excited,
and exclaimed : “By—, they've fired the
house.” He whipped up his horses and in a
few minutes we were alongside the wood
mansion, which was one mass ot flame. The
house stood alone within its own garden, and
it perished undisturbed, fabric and furniture
in one undistinguished blaze.
About a hundred yards further on we
found a bonfire in the road. This was com
posed of the furniture of the bouse No. 2.
Around this house were some fifty men,
some with hatchets, some with levers, some
with ropes. In an incredible short space ot
time they pulled this house down, and then
set fire to the mins—the women and children
standing by and looking on in silence. The
third house was still untouched, and whilst
we stood looking on, I addressed a very
respectable-looking man and asked him what
it all meant. Ha was quite calm and col
lected, and he said, with quiet deliberation,
“You see, sir, the iniquity of this place was
full we have tried the law, but the owners
were too strong for us; the murdered po
liceman was a good man, and has left eight
children ; so it went round ttie neighbors
this morning whether we would staud by
one another or not—and we said wo would,
and so, sir, we are bound to do it, and we
will dri ft—they shall all come down.” I
said, “I suppose you call this Lynch law ?"
“Yes, sir,” he replied, “it is Lynch law, and
not a bad law either sometimes when you
want to get rid of an abomination. But, sir,
we are not above the law ; we are able to
pay for it, and we mean to pay tor it ; but,''
he added, after a pause, “only if the Su
preme Court makes us pay for it.” He then
told us that some thrifty person in the village
had suggested that they should take off the
best of the spoil—the linen, the sheets, and
blankets, and distribute them among the
poor of the place—but that the women had
come forward and declined to allow their
houses to be defiled, and had carried the
rescued bed-clothes and tossed them on to
the pile of buraiug furniture. Our friend
went his way, but while we still lingered the
windows of the house No. 3 were lit up
with a faint glare, and in less than ten
minutes the whole fabric was a sheet of flame.
This house stood inconveniently near to
others, and the men of the place had pro
cured a Are engine; with this they played
steadily and skillfully on the adjoining build
ings, so that not one of them was injured.
When our friend, the driver, saw the flame
ascend in one pyramid of fire, he called God
| to witness that ite would give one hundred
! dollars if his enemy (Moody) could be seated
!in the midst of the fiery turnace. The de
struction of all these houses had, however,
wrought a great change in his opinions. He
had got twenty-five dollars the night before
for driving over a gentleman who was not
quite sober, and he was sure that if the Bridge
Company refused to take up the matter be
and the other ninety-nine car drivers could
themselves erect a more splendid establish
ment on the Canada shore, where Lynch law
! did not prevail. On our return we found
‘ that the brick house was still untouched, but
I the front of Mrs. Moody's wood house was
! pulled out, and all her furniture was burning
brightly in the field adjoining. Os the three
large houses, furniture, linen clothes, piano,
and picture*, nothing remained but a little
pile of gray and smouldering ashes. The
whole operation was conducted with the
greatest quietude and decorum. No bustle
and no shrinking. Every man went about
his work as though he had got two dollars to
do the work, with liberty to take his own
time about it.
The above is what I saw and what I heard
You may get a further account elsewhere.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY', SEPTEMBER 27. k%5.
FROM ( OXSTiSTIMIPLE.
THE CHOLERA PANIC.
Progress of the Epidemic-Scene* aud
Incidents.
(Correspondence of the Evening Post.)
Constantinople, Augns 15, IMS.
The cholera which io severely afiiictcd
Alexandria and Cairo, in Egypt, has raged
here with considerable severity lor atiout six
weeks It is said to have been brought into
Arabia by the Mussulman pilgrims, who an
nually visit the two holy cities of Mecca and
Medina; and after having destroyed vast
numbers in those parts, the returning pil
grims took it with theth to Alexandria,
where for some weeks it is said to have car
ried off some two tbousahd persons a day.
Most of the foreign residents tied thence to
healthier Europe, and even the Viceroy, Is
mail Pacha, came to this city in search of a
more salubrious climate.
THE DISEASE IN EGYPT.
In Egypt the cholera found a strong iu
centive in the malaria caused by the immense
number of caioasses scattered over the plain,
and even in the Nile and its canals. For
more than a year past a strange mortality has
prevailed among the animals of Egypt, and
horses, c title and sheep have succumbed to
it in vast numbers. These losses have been
in a great measure repaired from this part of
Turkey, and the various steamers plying be
tween this city and Alexandria have been
constantly engaged in the transportation of
animals to Egypt. Meat has been extremely
expensive iu consequence iu all Egypt. The
scourge must have come upon the peope of
Egypt iu the very midst of tbeir hottest sea
son, and when animal food must have been
almost wholly beyond the reach of the poor
er class.
With all this the fury of the epidemic soon
passed away, and in a few weeks almost en
tirely disappeared. Was this the result of
the extreme heat, or was it in consequence of
the flight of a large part of the population ?
It is said that during the latter part of its
lavages extraordinary cold breezes set in,
and the change in the atmosphere had a most
beneficial effect. But how can this cold
weather iu the summer season be accounted
for ? God, in His ever-enduring mercy was
pleased to relieve the Egyptians from the
scourge, though it is now vaguely reported
that it has returned there, it is hoped that
this is not the case. The Viceroy has left
here for Alexandria, but still lingers at some
of tbc healthier islands ot the Archipelago,
from which it would seem that the scourge
has not entirely left bis capital.
IN CONSTANTINOPLE.
We are indebted to the Viceroy for the in'
troduction of the cholera in this city. It
tvas brought in one of his frigates, and com
menced its ravages in the vicinity of the Sul
tan’s navy yard, iu the Goldeu Horn.
Thence it spread over the whole extent of
the city, the village on the Bosphorus, and in
the Prince’s Islands, iu the sea of Marmora.
At some places it has made great ravages,
while at others it touched but lightly. Dirt
and filth seems to attract it, and consequent
ly, in the various valleys in which the poorer
class reside tb emortality has been very great.
The poor Jews have died by the thousands,
and in some parts of Stambonl, Eyub and
Balel, the Fanar, and other spots within
the harbor, the number of victims is un
known. There it still continues, unchecked,
and it is supposed that more than twenty
thousand have died there atone At Therapia,
one of the best ventilated points of the Bos
phorous, it has been very severe. It Is now
on the Asiatic side aud the vessel-of-war
acbored on the Bosphorus, near the enirauce
to the Black Sea, ate suffering severely.
The Turkish government has done much
to relieve the people of the capital by em
ploying physicians and providing suitable
food for the poorer classes. It pays the
physicians and gives medicines gratis to the
indigent. The Sultan is excessively alarmed
by tne epidemic, and many of the salutary
measures are adopted by his orders. So far
as I can learn none of the better classes of
the people have fallen victims. These are
mostly among the poor and the bigoted,
among whom It is most difficult to inspire
any regard for cleanliness. Melons, fruits
and bad vegetables are officially denounced,
and the police endeavor to prevent the sale
of them, though not always effectually. The
weather Is very hos, notwithstanding the
fresh breezes ; these arc mostly eastern, and
not from the North ; at this date we should
nave gusts ol rain and strong winds, with
thunder and lightning, but for more than a
month we have had but one such. Should
these soon set in the disease will, I hope,
decrease; and, indeed, some physicians
already state that its virulence is much di
minished The papers of this city are not
allowed to publish the correct number of
cases, and it is said that during some days
these have been as high as thirteen hundred.
Just now, I thiuk, six hundred to eight
hundred might be a correct average.
KRLIOIODS OBSERVANCES.
When such a scourge visits a people, and
science is unavailing, men’s minds naturally
revert to the only Supreme preserver against
all evils. Here the Almighty has been in
voked by Mussulman, Christian and Jew ;
and among the Christians, each according to
his own peculiar belief. lam sorry to say
that saints are more appealed to than God
himself—l .suppose, however, as intermedia
ates between the Creator aud the creature.
The Holy Virgin is the chief intermediate
for both Greek and Catholic, and almost
every individual has a patron taint, or a local
one, to whom his or her prayers are offered.
The Greek Patriarch has directed that his
people shall not observe the fifteen days fa3t
of this time; but so deeply seated in the
minds ol the lower classes are the ordinances
of their church, that they refuse to obey him,
aud even accuse him of apostacy! At night
the Mussulmans chant the invocation of the
Deity throughout their streets, aud even
visit those of the Christians—perhaps with
no friendly or respecttul purpose.
DIET AND REMEDIES.
In most cases a careful diet of meat, soup,
and rice, guards against the disease, and
even when persons are attacked, immediate
remedies seem to arrest it In its first forms;
but when neglected it is mostly fatal. Lau
danum, camphor and rhubarb, with mint,
check diarrhoeas and vomitings when used
sharply Bismuth aud quinine are also ex
cellent remedies. Miutard blisters and fric
tion are encellent restoratives in many cases
of even a fearful character. O.
Remarkable Suicide.
[From the Providence Press, September 14.1

reason, or without it, cho9enadiet of stones,
killed himself by attempting to force a large

THE NORTHERN PRESS ON THE
FENIAN MOVEMENT.
As showing the temper ot the leading
Norihera journals towards England, we pub
lish the following articles in reference to the
Fenian movement:
MORE AJUSITRABY ARRESTS.
We are surprised aud grieved at the con
duct of the British government in regard to
certain persons suspected of “Fenianism" in
Ireland. At Dundalk five mc.n have been
arrested, and refused bail. They had not
committed any crime; they bnd met together,
in a time ot profound peace, without arms,
tor some purpose not slated before the mag
istrate ; they were not charged or suspected
of having committed any crime; and yet
the judge before whom they were arraigned
not only refused to discharge them, but sent
them to jail without bail ?
- What is the boasted liberty of the British
subject worth, when English judges can thus
arrest and “immure in Bastiles" innocent
men charged with no crime ? If this kind of
thing goes on much longer, it will be neces
sary' for our government to remonstrate with
Lord Palmerston; and as soon as Congress
meets it will be advisable to bring up before
that body the nrbitraiy and tyrannical treat
ment of British subjects by the British gov
ernment.
Fortuuately for Mr. Seward and members
of Congress, the form and even the language
of such complaints and remonstrances are
accessible to them. There are letters ot Earl
Hassell to oar government and to the British
Minister at Washington, which will answer,
with but the slightest changes, for Mr. Seward
to fire back at Earl Russell; there are speeches
by Gregory, Roebuck, Laird, and othcis in
the House of Commons, against our govern
ment, which require only a few verbal altera
tion? to make them useful to members of
Congieswho wish to show upthelawlen
tyranny, the savage brutality, and the folly
of the British goventnent, and appeal to the
whole civilized world, and to Christians every
where, to refuse their countenance to such
proceedings.
Ireland and the whole of Great Britain are
lying profoundly at peace; suddenly Lord
Palmerston, known as a hater of Irishmen,
takes it into his head to order indiscriminate
arrests, light and left. A young man tells
another to “double up,” and on the instant
one of Palmerston's “minions” seizes him,
drags him before a magistrate or judge, also
in Palmerston’s pay, who consigns him to a
dungeon, and tyrannically refuses to accept
bail for his appearance. Another equally in
nocent young Irishman tells two or three of
his companions to “close up,” and he too is
dragged off, and disappears in a bastile.
Another happen* to say “fall in behind,” aud
he is locked up without opportunity to ex
plain his meaning; and bis weeping wife und
aged mother appeal in vain for either justice
or mercy.
Are these pregteedingsfil for the nineteenth
century ? Does not the civilized world blush
at such tyranny ? and so on and so forth—for
the remainder ot this see speeches of Rncbnck,
M. P , and others ; where we may also learn
that Ireland ought to beau independent
State, and that the United States ought to
help the Irish against England, because thus
a severe and damaging blow can be struck
at the strength of England—which is, ac
cording to the wise Roebuck, an irrefutable
argument.
The British authorities seem to apprehend
that the Fenians intend a revolution. We
trust our own government is as vigilant in
this matter as was that of Lord Palmerston
in a like case in 1861. We should scarcely
think it decent in Mr. Seward or Mr. Stanton
to be elosetted with emissaries of the Irish
revolutionists, though even in that they would
have the support of English precedent.
But whenever the Fenians set up an inde
pendent government in Ireland—if that, in
deed, is their object, which we do not pro
fess to know—it will become our duty to re
cognise it as a belligerent, to begin fitting out
privateers tor it, to sell it blockade-runner?,
provisions aud supplies of all kinds, and in
almost all passible ways to assist the revolu
tionary government in making war upon the
English and driving them out of Ireland. In
this city our merchants and ship owners will
no doubt be encouraged in hoisting the Irish
flag> “'O' sailors will be engaged by the most
respectable men to serve in Irish Alabaraas,
and our ship builders will construct their
fastest ships for the Irish service—only we
trust they will have the decency not to lie
about their actions in Congress : we should
not like to see an American ship builder
place himself on a par with Laird.
All this, if it happened, as we hope it may
not, could be justified by English precedent
—or rather it would not need justification,
for uven Englishmen could scarcely have the
impudence to complain of us for what they
instated upon doing but a few years ago.—.V.

THE FENIAN ORGANIZATION JN THE NORTHERN
i * • STATES.
We learn from reliable sources that the
Fenian organization in the Northern States
numbers two hundred and twenty-one thou
sand men. These men are openly pledged to
move any day on the great question of the
liberation of Ireland, and to aid and assist iu
that noble undertaking. It is also slated that
a number of subaltern officers from the Army
of the Potomac are now iu Ireland drilling
the people and preparing them for the com
ing struggle. Only about fifty of these offi
cers have left this country for Ireland within
a few months. If so few liberty loving spirits
can produce such a profound sensation in
England as now prevails, setting the govern
ment, the press and British subjects in a state
of alarm, wliat will tie the effect when two
hundred thousand similar souls, all animated
by the same glorious sentimeut—the freedom
of Old Erin—shall land upon the soil of Ire
land—*V. Y. Herald.
Jfoble Letter from President Johnson.
The London Star publishes the following
letter, which was addressed by President
Johnson to an American gentleman living in
Berlin:
‘Executive Office, Washington, D. C., >
July 20, 1866. i
Mr. G. F. Comfort, No. 2 Franzosisehe
fctrasse, Berlin, Prussia:
My Dear Sir—l thank you for your letter
of the 30th of June.
I ehall use my best endeavor to make my
administration national, and not partisan.
Perverting power or influence to partisan
ends is only less criminal than attempting the
nation’s life.
Our nation has come out of its four years’
struggle for existence strengthened ana puri
fied, and with a capacity for a growth in the
future unparalleled in history.
I am pleased to hear from so intelligent an
observer as yourself that the fact that our
Government is a government of the people,
deriving all. its power from the people, ex •
isting only for the people, is being appiecia
ted in Europe.
I trust our national success will prove the
sucoess of popular principles throughout the
world. I am, sir, very truly yours,
Andrew Johnson,
President of the linked States.”
