Boston, Sept. 22. J the Savannah Liuly Herald. We have bad a busy week at tbe “bub" otthe universe, and I, like tbe fly on' tbo bub of a coacb wheel, am tbe proper person to make talk about It. Not that I am so foolish as to suppose, like tbe fly aforesaid, that I did it all. or even saw it all, for l am n modest recorder of the events Which tran spire in this vicinity. But to my mutton: The NeXT City Hall was decorated on Mpnday, with appropriate ceremonies. It is a structure which does credit 10 a city of the wealth and position which belong to Boston, and what make* it more interesting, it was built during the war, tbe corner stone having been laid in 1863, when the Union cause looked darker than at any time before or since. It is built upon the site of the old one, in about tbe centre of tbe tortuous ways of this qunijit "14 oky, flanked on one side by the massive walls of King's Chapel, which was built long before the Battle -ot Bunkor ' Hiil was fought, having been used m a riding school by; the British ofllcera in Boston the first year. .of. the Revolutionary war, while in front of it, across School street, is Parker's Hotel, and behind it is the Court House, a long grauite structure which looks like a prison, and in which tile slave Burns was confined Wlife rendeicd up tit bis owner on tbe altar of law and order by Boston mil itia men. The original .estimate of the cost of the new City Hall, was $160,000, —this estimate was by a previous Mayor, who sud- ( denly lost his place and the glory of finishing | the woik he had l«itf rmt soon after the cor- ’ ncr stoue was laid.—but the total expense when the building is completely furnished, will spoil the appearance of (t $500,000 greenback. It is of granite, Iron apd black walnut, elegant outsido and inside, and with ample room to accommodate tbe business of the city, for two buudred years, without ta king into account the destruction of the har bor, ravages of the cholera, or the predicted end of Hie world. The dedicatory services were held on the city's natal day, though some finishing touches remained *o he given, and comprised the delivery pf the keys to iho Mayor, by the Chairman of the Building Committee, und an address by Mayor, Lin coln, in which he traced the outlines of the history of the city, and said the pleasant things proper on sucli an occasion. And I guess that is all that will be interesting to your readers, until you are ready to build a City Hall for yourselves and bring the cost within three times tbe estimates. Tile Mechanic** Fair. The Fair of the Charitable Mechanic Asso ciation has been in full blast during the week, having been opened on the 20lli; l anticipated something of it, I believe, in my last letter. The Fair is held in Faneuil Hall and a very large liali over the Quincy Mar ket, the two buildings being connected by a a bridge across the street—the bridge being itself a part of the exhibition. In Faneuil Hall the finest and more elegant articles are displayed, embracing beautiful samples of Art in various forms, and all that Is most choice and elegant in onr varied manufac tures. In the other building—a hall some 9ix hundred feet long—divided into numer ous sections, and supplied with steam power, are arranged the coarse productions, and n great variety of ingenious mechanics which multiply and simplify production. I cannot begin to give you a list of tho wonders of this department, some of the mo9t marvel lous of which are machines for sewing and pegging shoes. One machine makes its own pegs, or irou, and pegs a boot or shoe in a few seconds. It is already in successful operation in various towns devoted to the manufacture of boots and shoes. The fair continues for three weeks, and so far the at tendance had been largo every day and evening. People are coming from all parts of the country to this Manufacturers’ ex change, which is for New England, what the great Paris exchange is intended to be for the whole world. Havtlruftiiral Fair, Under this head we have something com bining the elements of both the preceding paragraphs. The Massachusetts Horticul tural Society, have anew hall which was dedicated on the IWh, and the Fair continued through the week. The Hall Uup elegant granite building on Treraont street, the heavy character of the material of which it is composed being relieved by its architec ture, which gives it a peculiarly light, gtacc ful and dc, hot,air appearance, eminently ap propriate to the purpose for which it is de signed. It cost about $125,000. This also was built during the war. The exhibition of vegetables, fruit and flowers is the best ever made by the Society. The horticultural pro ductions of eveiy zone arc shown here, fr *m the pine apple growing on its stem to the little flowers which suddenly emerge from trctic snows. The recollection of peaches, pears, grapes and plums is particularly fine. Shrubs and plants in pots, and cut flowers are also plenty. Vegetables of mammoth size ore seen in their places. Squashes that weigh from one hundred to one hundred and fifty seven pound;—that is the weight of the first premium ; beets of which one never saw the beat; parsnips, potatoes—common, sweet and Chinese, <fcc. Some exhibitors have irons forty to fifty varieties of pears here, and the same of flowers. This exhibition ap peals to most of our tastes, and especially to those of a wealthy population who carry on fancy gardens in the suburban tow ns for the fun of the thing, and it is therefore very well attended. National Horse Fair. This fair continues through the week at Riverside Park, which is pleasantly situated ou the banks of tbe Charles P.iver, about five miles from Boston. The number of horses ou the ground is large, some of the matches have beeu spirited and fast, and the lovers of fast horses and tbe gay “gantbo lieis” on speed have been attracted from all parts of the country. Ttae Political Field in New England presents nothing of much interest for your leaders. New England is all one way, with the exception of Con necticut, wliich is doubtful, and to wbicli all eyes now are turned. Tl»c IVenthcr, etc. Wc are now enjoying fine weather; tbe theatres and opera houses are in full blast, and the streets are alive with the gay and liappy who have just returned from the watering places. lota. mOFUAH FOUTZCI. Curtoas Complication—Tile Murder of a Cook Hie Pretext for Seizing a Province. : The excitement respecting the murder of i rOtt, the French cook of Prince Alfred of England, by M. Euienburg, a son of a Prus sian Cabinet Minister, is increasing, and is likely to lead to political results, it is as serted that the French Government has ad dressed a note to tbe Prussian Cabinet in reference to isle mnrdar of he Ott, which dwells upon'the feet that France extends her protection to all her subjects The follow'ng is the petition now circulat ing for signature at Strasbourg and in all the communes of the Department of Bas-Rbin : PKTITION TO THU FRENCH SENATE. A murder has been comigitted at Bonn, in Rbenish Prussia, on the person of M. Ott, (torn at Strasbourg, 1828, by Count Euleu burg. That murder lias remaiued unpun- Uhtd. At the present time the murderer, who at first was left at large, and afterward ouly put under Compton arrest, hat*been sent back to his corp» |o lake part iu Hie Autumn manocuvers. In presence of such ;i denial of justice, tlie undersigned fellow countrymen of tilt, yietirn, penetrated with tbe great prin ciple ot equality before the law, respectfully solicit of the Senate an energetic diplomatic representation, such as shall prove that France accords hyr prptpctioa to wliich they have a right in foreign countries. The Courier du Bas Rhiu publishes this petition, with an urgent appeal to the inhabi tants of the department. This looks very much as if the French Emperor meditated the execution of the long cherished French project ot seizing tbe pro vinces on the Rhine. The murder of Ott nffords a pretext tor tbe occupation of tbe country by French troops, as a means for tbe protection tor French’ subjects, and the ex citement of the population ou the fi on tier may have been got up with this view. Louts j Napoleon is fond of checks and csuuter guaraniies, and while tbe Prussian vulture ; gorges ou Denmark in the North, he may seize bis chauce to cut off one of the uuclean bird's wings ou the other side. ResolnUoxis of the Colored People of Co lumbus. The following resolutions were recently adopted by the colored people dff Columbus at the M. E. Church in that city. They ap pear in the newspapers over the signatures of a large number of the better class of the colored population of the city : I 'o .y Cqi.oxßCS, Sept. 18, 1865. At a meeting held at the colored M. E. Church on Monday evening the 18th iust., by a portion of the colored pcoplu of litis community, the following was adopted : Whereas, Robbery has become so preva lent lately that we, a portion of the residents of tbe city ot Columbus, deem it our dftty to put ourselves right before the community, and be it Ist Resolved, That we wilt look upon any colored person guilty of theft as not being worthy of notice. 2d Resolved, That we feel it our duty, as loyal residedts bt the community, to hitcrni upon any coToied person Who commits a theft or any other misdemeanor. 3d Resolved, That wc will discard any colored person, male or female, who com mits any act detrimental to the well being of the colored people. 4th Resolved, We will not assist them by employment, in patronizing them in busi ness, or aid them in sickness, and we will not associate with litem', either directly or indirectly. On motion, tbe proceedings were ordered to be published. Such on the part of the colored people is highly praiseworthy and deserves the warmest approval of all. Ah Important Decision.—Tbe Lebanon TeDB. Register of tho 14th inst. says: At the la-t term of the County Court, in the case of Thompson vs. Young, administra t r, the court decided that the amendment to the Constitution was legal and valid. In 1860 Thompson purchased a negro that was sold under a decree of the county court, and as no title had been decreed in the case, Judge Green filed a petition praying the court to release Thompson from the, pay ment of the purchase money. Gov. Camp bell appeared for Young and insisted that the amendment to the Constitution was ille gal and consequently nuii and void, and that slavery still existed in Tennessee. Judge Green made a very able argument in reply and showed to the satisfaction of the court that the amendment to the Constitution was legal, and slavery was dead in Tennessee.— After a short consultation the court decided the sale null and void, and ordered tnc clerk to cancel Thompson's note and hand it back. This decision should satisfy the authorities that the people of Wilson are truly loyal and willing to sustain t-hp IfiJTI <>f the land. Conflict of Authority In Louisiana—Ar. rests by tbe Provost Marshal of Freed men. Shreveport, La., Sept. 23, 1865. Tiie Provost Marshal of Freedmen has ar rested the Judge, Sheriff. District Attorney and the Jury of the Tenth Judicial District, for trying a negro on the charge of larceny. , The Superintendent of the Freedman says erisdiction over negroes during the existing terpretuliou of the civil law belongs exclu sively to bis bureau. The judge gives notice of an appeal. /-L New Orleans, Sept. 23. It is understood that the Governor, will not interfere in the conflict of authority at I Shreveport between the military and civil ! representatives, though in tliat city a case pf ' that kind would most certainly come before, and be decided by, the regular courts, f The blacks are being registered in this city preparatory to the approaching election. A* thereto no legal authority forth* act, however, the proceedings is looked upon as a farce. There is little doubt but what the State will have a full and able representation in Washington on the opening day of the next session. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1865. A CHICAGO CATASTROPHE. ! Kiplo.lon of a Locomotive in a Crowded i Si reel—House* Shuttered and Killed. * j Tnc Chicago papers give detailed accounts ol the explosion ot a locomotive ou Saturday, , while backing a freight train on Jefferson street, near the depol The engine had only | come from tlie machine shop two days pre 1 viously, where it had undergone repairs. The cause of the accident is involved in mys- ! tery. It is supposed that it occulted through i one of the vaives being out of order. | Tbe side sheet of the flee box first gate way, being literally torn from tlie bolts. The crown sheet of the boiler, losing us support, ! was (breed by the explosion out of its glnce’ I and hurled about fifty feet from the locomo- ! tive. The great force ol tlie explosion lifted j the engine completely from Ibe track, and turned it entire’y round. Both the cylinder ! I heads were blown out, and the safety valve, tbe dome whieb covers it, as well as tlie smoke stack, carried completely away. TIIE KILLED AND WOUNDED. James Finch, tbo engineer, was thrown some distance from tbe engine and killed in- j stantaneously. Charles Perry, the special police oflicer in charge of tbe Northwestern depot, who was near the spot when the ex- j plosion took place, approached as soon As j the smoke cleartd away, and found him ! quite dead. He was not .so greatly disfigured 1 as might have been expected, there being 1 but few wounds of any considerable size to ; Ik- seen upon him. ! Mrs. Esther Dier, a French woman, the i i wife of William Dier, a conductor on the i I North Division street railway cars, who re- j ; sides at No. 148 Jeflerson street, met with - her death in a sudden and awful manner by ! ! the explosion. She was standing at the eor | ner of jeflerson and Hubbard streets, pur l . chasing tomatoes from a German woman, | who peddles vegetables on the streets, when i she was struck with one of the flying missiles. I The upper portion of her head was complete ! iy struck off; and the brains were scattered jon tbe grouud. ner left arm was also car i ried away and alighted in the middleot Hub ; bard street, at some distance from the place. Strange to say, the other woman, who Stood close beside Airs. Dier at the moment, es caped entirely uninjured, but the tomatoes and other vegetables were scattered in the ditch by another fragment of tbe boiler—a : strange exemplification of the words, “the one shall be taken and the other left.” Mrs. Dier Is the mother of one little Imy, who is i 13 years old. t Robert Caililine, the fireman, was thrown by the explosion to a distance of some fifty feet. He was taken up quite insensible by j Richard Clarke and Henry Wells, anu con veyed to the Railroad House, where he re i ceived every attention. He is badly scalded, and horribly bruised, and but little rope is a held out lor his recovery j Albert St. John, a child two years of age, son of John St. John, a boatman, was play tog in tbe rear of the bouse No. 146, Jeffer son street, where his parents reside. There 1 is a narrow- passage separating the premises No. 146 from the adjoining house, wliich i was closed at live front by a wooden door.— 1 A piece of the furnace grate, weighing over one hundred pounds, struck the door, tore ! it entirely away, traversed the whole length of the passage,’and struck the boy on the head, injuring him severely, though not fa tally. Another child who was playing close by his side was uninjured. A littie child, whose name is unknown, was blown from one side of the street to flic other; but, straDgc to say, with tbe excep > tion of some disarrangement of its dress, it I was entirely uninjured. | Mr. Hcnry'Fclscnthal, a commission mer chant on Milwaukee nvenue, was standing at ! tbe tront of Messrs. Benton ifc Adams's cotn ! mission warehouse, No. 140 Jefferson street, at tbe moment of tbe explosion, when some fragments of the flying wreck struck him in j the forehead, making a wide gasli ot an inch 1 deep. His nose was split open and laid over iou each side of his face. He was conveyed to his residence, where lie was attended by Dr. Bralnard, who gives little hopes ot his recovery., , , I A little Indian boy, whose name is not known, bad his leg broken, and was fright | fully scalded by tbe steam. He was taken to the house where he resides, on Milwaukee avenue, where Dr. Hollister attended ou him and dressed bis wounds. NARROW ESCAPES. Several narrow escapes were made by many of tbe people residing iu tlie vicinity. Among others may be mentioned that of an old man who lives in a small house directly opposite to the spot where the engine was.— I A heavy piece of iron struck his hat from his head, grazing his scalp, and alighted on the pavement behind him. | A woman who lives in the same house was ' on tlie point of coming out of her door with a child iu her arms, when her husband see ing the burst of vapor beginning to ascend, nnd suspecting what would ensue, dragged 1 her by main loree into the house, tearing her gown to fragments in tbe effort. She had | scarcely disappeared when several pieces of iron struck the ground on the very spot where she would undoubtedly have stood. Airs. Ford, residing at No. 150 .Jefferson street, was somewhat injured by fragments of tlie wreck, which struck her on the side of the head above the left temple, iter left arm being slightly bruised. Her little girl ; was knocked down, but hot much hurt, i Mrs. McQuade, who was in the Same house, was scalded considerably, but not , severely injured. THE DWELLINGS NEAR THE SCENE OF THE , CATASTItOFHE. The dwelling-houses around the scene of the catastrophe were much damaged by the dreadful shower of iron which was precipita ted in every direction. They were all frame buildings, and in some Instances the fronts were splintered in several places, while a great many of the windows were utteily de molished. Those nearest to the engine were blackened from i oof to basement, and pre sented much the same appearance as if they had just been burnt by fire. The interior of these dwellings presented woful scenesof ruin, and the inmates, being poor, struggling, honest people, were sadly put out of sorts, and looked at the wreck of their poor house hold goods with a kind ol dreamy stupefac tion, us If they were unable to realize what had actually taken place. ' Th* F.vec ut lon of Barrios , Ei Prrsldtnt of •an Safvado. Gerardo Barrios, formerly President of Bin Salvador, was the vietim’of a revolt of certain of his people, aided, it is alleged, by tbe army of Guatemala. He tied from his capital in 1803, and Duenas was elected President in bis stead. Barrios came to this country, where he made many friends Two or three months ago ho started to return to lead a revolt which bad been organized in his favor. While be was on the sea, liia ad herents were touted in a battle with tbe forces of Dnctms. The vessel in which he embarked was struck by lightning, and obliged to put into the port of Rsalejo, Nica ragua. The United States Consul there de clared that the vessel’s papers were forgeries, and she was seized by the Nicaraguan gov ernment, It appears there js an extradition treaty between Nicaragua and Sun Salva dor i and the latter power demanded tbe pos session of Barrios. The Nicaraguan author ities gave bin; up with the express stipula tion that his life should be spared, and Barri os was conveyed a prisoner to the capital where so recently he bad been the chief magistrate. Here he was tried by court martial, and, notwithstanding tbe stipulation with Nicaragua, wm sentenced to death. Tbe unforlnnote man, having been told about midnight of the 28th ultimo, that ho bad but six hours to live, proceeded to tlie prison chapel where he spent some time in religi ous preparation, attended by the Bishop Saldano. Here also he made his will. At half-past four on the morning of the 29th, Barrios was conducted to the scaffold,escort ed by a small military force. The sentence was again read, and the bishop cxiiorled aud prayed with the condemned man. Barrios bade farewell to several frientfc aud charged Gen. Gonzalez with the care of his remains. He requested li'm confessor to have a mass snid quietly ami without pomp lor tbe re pose ol his soul, aud then met death with entire resignation. According to ids last re quest his body was interred iu tlm church called Del Calvorio. KING UOTTOA UKriIHU.VED. The London Times of a recent date pub lishes some statements showing the great changes in the cotton trade produced by tbe war, which falsify all the predictions that claimed for cotton a supremacy that noth ing could impair. Instead of cotton being King, its throne lias been nearly subverted The Times says . “Our imports have now reached neatly nine hundred million hundred weights, or nearly three-quarters of what they were at the climax of the cotton trade iu iB6O ; our exports are only six millions short of the amount in that famous year. But if the gross amount of the trade is "recovering its former condition, nothing can be more remarkable than the revolution wliich has taken place in its course. “In 1860 the United States sent us the enormous sum of 1,115 million hundred weights ot cotton out of a total of 1,390 mil lions. In 1864, out of a total of 893 millions, tbe United BtatesveDt us only 14 millions, and India, which sent us in 1860 only 200 millions, sent us last year 506 millions. India, in fact, ss now the principal source of the cottou supply, and occupies a place utile in terior in proportion to that which was form erly occupied by the United States. Other countries, however, display the influence ot the same stimulus. “An increase in the value of our imports from Egypt of front sixteen to nineteen mil lions sterling is due almost entirely to au in crease in the cultivation of cotton. China has added 315,000 hundred weights, or more than three millions in value, to tlie amount of her importation ; and, though tlie amount received trora Japan is small, It lias increas ed in the enormous ratio of 1,290 per cent. Tlie high price of cotton has attracted from many countries the re-exportation to our shores oi the stocks they had imported for themselves, and this part,which was thought so difficult to raise and so delicate that we could not endure tbe failure of our American supply, uow comes to us probably from more parts of the world than tuy other article of commerce.'' Some curious experiments are tried in Europe to save tbe lives ot animals attacked with the cattle disease. A cow belonging to Miss Burden Coutts was dosed with “eight botlies of whisky, twelve doses of braudy, thirty bottles of port wine nnd other strong drinks." Tbe animal recovered from the distemper, but died ot delirium tremens. HEADQ HSSUB-DIS. OFOGEECHEE, > Savannah.
