The military companies were ordered out to pro
tect the property eansied out into the open grounds
nb the Asylum, and to guard the lunatics, who
were sent backiuto the adjacent woods.
The rovis and grounds leading to. and in the vi

ch* - k of humanity, aa they look upon the melan
choly picture just witneneed.
When the corps arrived upon the ground the
greatest confusion prevailed—men running for nried
HHi for the burned, other* seeking help
to prevent the inmate* from escaping from the
buUclingn arid yard*. On being formed, the compa
ny marched to' the grov.; in the rear of the Asylum,
rj„l u.ere mounted guard. About two hundred pa
lh-ntH mostly female*, were placed under the eur
veilhi-icc (ft the company. They at first in squads
made efforts to cm ape, out on being firmly ordered
so ico run quiet, and not attempt to escape, they be
came reconciled to their quarters, *at down in
grouj and apparently were pleased with the ex
citeiiient and confusion.
'iln-n- w e ar* port originated by some one that
Dr Maltbie, a patient, well known in thin city, had
burned to death, and that several others were
not expected to survive from a like cause, but. upon
investigating the rumor we found it to be untrue. —
Kuiiiors were flying from mouth to mouth nod re
ceiving additional exaggerations in their journey,
tha: i wenty-tive patient* has been found lying in a
loom suffocated to death that Dr. Dray, the Mu
perintendent, had died from the effects of a fail
from the third to first floor, that one of the male pa
tiont.-: had thrown a female into the burning build
ing ami then had followed her—all of which, it
gratifies us to state, had their origin in the fancy of
some c redulous fellows who wished to be consider
ed as knowing more than their neighbors.
Notwithstanding the care and caution exercised
by th* persons who entered the buildings, some or
Hii m were severely burned, by not being acquaint
. d with the complicated stairways and lobbies, and
which prevented them from making a speedy exit
when danger crept upon them. They were carried
outside and placed on beds under trees, in the grat a
plot in the Eastern end of the main building, and
their suffering alleviated. Among the number of
those seriously injured, while combating the (lames
which heroism could inspire, was Dr. L. K. Rose,
~n( . of our most respectable city physicians, lie
was seen t.o enter the main building by some per
when shortly alter a cry of distress was heard
to proceed from that v icinity, whereupon a number
of permit* rti !cd to the rescue, where they found
Di. lying profit i!< , wifha pile of burning lum
ber lying upon and around him. JI is injuries are
of an afflicting kind, but he i.- not so badly burned
a* was reported tiii forenoon J lift injuries are
chiefly routined to bin back and thighs, and by the
assiduous attentions of Drs. Kusael and Day, he is
now in a comfortable state.
Some of the potient* became very noisy and ex
citable, mid it was with difficulty they were restrained
tiom exhibiting Those who had not
bean placed under the care of the corps, were kept
together in the rear portions of the wings. They
kept up an incessant noise—some singing, shout
ing, laughing, cheering at the crowd outside, while
oilii-i. manifested tear and lost all control over their
physical system.
Tin- damage is confined to that part of the build
ing designated aa the Grand Entrance, which is
completely gutted of everything combustible, and
the burning and disfiguring of about, forty feet in
length of the eastern end of the main building. The
western end of the main building and the wings es
-4 np«-d the fire, but were damaged slightly by water.
A great deal of the furniture in portions of the build
ings not reached by the flames, is either broken orda
inaged by water. The officers of the institution,
we iv-j,r, will experience difficulty in providing food
forth* patients, as everything connected with the
culinary department is topsy-turvy.
J\ N Since the above was put in type, we learn,
from a gentlemen who is conversant with the ar
rangements at the Asylum, that large tanks full
ol water were placed in the upper part of the build
ing, to be um '1 in ea<e of fire, and that as soon as
th - fire was di • overed, men were put to work con
vc'; ng water in buckets from those tanks. When
I >i! (jruy discovered the lla’.nt. working down into
the building from the • upulo, he severed the steam
pipes, niid tiio steam tliut escaping was of great
utility in keeping under the fire. A man who was
engaged with l)r. Gray was burned by the escap
ing steam. Had not the water in the immense well,
iu the basement of the building, given out, we
doubt, if the fire would have been half os disastrous
M^ptwafl
i tie work ot clearing and cleaning up lias been
commenced, and the wings will be ready for oc
cupancy in a lew hours. The city has granted the
use of the new Hospital to the Managers of the
Asylum, and some fit) patients will be removed
teiiip.n uriUy. At o’clock the patients in (he grove
were inarwhed, in charge ot the corps, to the Asy
lum. Owing to the efficient measures taken by
the guard, no difficulty was experienced iu keep
mi; the patients within the limits ; and, notwith
standing the cunning < .\pedionts resorted to to obtain
egress, not a single patient escaped.
.John Phiknix on thk Glorious Fourth.—
Kv*ry boy in these United States known the origin

prosperity of their parents, have been annually
given them to expend on this occasion, which indeli

leads them to look dow n with pleasure to its return.
One of my earliest and most cherished recollections
is of my exploit on the 4th of July that I can re

if they don't turn out well, it is very easy at the
next election to make others in their place. Every

nothing is wanting but natural ability to do it, and
Mrs l .aviiiiii Pike’s baby, now lying with a cotton

-1 do not wish to flatter this audience . I do tfnt
intend to be thought peculiarly complimentary ; but
1 do assure you that there is not a man present who
if he had votrs enough might not be elected Presi

is the result, not so much of any peculiar merit by
virtue on your part, as of the nature of out glorious
republican institutions.
In this great and desirable country, any man may
become ru h. provided he will make money, and has
money to pay for his board and schooling . and any
man may become great, and of weight in the com

eat sufficiently of boiled salmon and potatoes.
Moreover, 1 assert it unblushiugly, any man in

the only difficulty being for him to find a woman

Thk Do. 'if <»k tiik Ci’aitou. — lu regard to the
Now York Tribune's report that the capitol “archi
tects have hist discovered the rotunda " alls to be
too weak to 1> ir the n w iron dome. Mr. Walter,
the architect of the dome, says that such an idea
never for a moment s oupuM his mind . that it was
inoet distant from his thoughts; and that the first
knowledge he hadot m>v!i a rumor he derived from
the above articU and Captain Meigs, the United
States engines: in . • >-t the work, says that no
thought of the kind was ever entertained by him.
Before they began ihe work they dug under the
foundations to see that all was right there . they also
took out ’portions of the materials and submitted
them to tests to obtain data upon which to base a
calculation of the strength of the substructure, and.
having established beyond a doubt the capability of
the foundations to sustain with safety a score of
>uch domes, they proceeded, and up to ttie present
moment they say that nothing has transpired to
change, in the slightest degree, the results that were
previously obtained.
It should Ik* borne in mind that the dome of the
capitol differs from all the domes of the Old World
in the fact that it rests on a continuous waller ring
of masv nry, while they rest on insulated piers, this
gix cr- its foundations a decided advantage over other
domes in point of strength, and at the same time its
weight is It.'.- than that of any similar structure
ever built.
The weight of the new dome "ill be about the
.inw a.- of .the old cue . the weight of th* im
inciiH' iutt» of masonry of the old dome, which has
recently been taken down, together with the old
" oodeu superstructure, is quite equal, by calcula
tion, to tin light iron Structure that is to take ita

About sixty miles from London, is the estate of

woods and gardens. His library contains fifty

or over thirty-five square mites, and this in crowded *
England, which has in all an area of only 50,000

Dritish Stkam PRt/hxl.i ERS, —It is confidently
asserted tha. there are at this time not less than
three hundred steam propellers, ranging from one
thousand to fifteen hundred tons burthen, building
m the different ports of Great liritain principally
upon the Clyde, the great manufacturing point from
which issue the hundred of iron vessel* that are now
revolutionizing the commercial marine of the world
and taking from the United States the ocean supre
macy tiiat a few years since seemed to be within onr
grasp. Napier, the celebrated steam engine builder,
has contracts whose completion will engage him for
three year* to come, and all the iron work* of Eng
land and Scotland are fully occupied in construct
ing iron propellers for the foreign and domestic
trade. Iron huHs and screw propellers arc- now the
great idea of the comjnercial mind of England, and
through their agency the monopoly of the carrying
trade of the world is now sought.
Jt has already been«howu that two-fifths of the
gross value of inaportatiowt from England and
France into the port of New York is by ocean
steamers, myetly foreign—and more recently Mr.
Kennedy, Superintendent of the emigrant depot at
Castle Garden, showed that of BG,»W» passengers
arriving here during the last six months, were
brought on staatners, and that of 57 steamers bring
ing ptußnngnrs(Wring the last eighteen months, only
2 were under toe United Stater Hag, agaiuat 35 ml

er* are almost altogether unemployed, and our
costly tleet of side-wheel steamers lie idly in port,
unable to content! with their more economical and

transportations of the bulky and less remunef&tive
articles of produce.
The practical obstacle m the way of our move to
check mate England ill this bold course iB the
superior cost with us of that das* of vessels which
now threaten to take pre-eminence upon the
ocean. We have the iron in abundance, the me
ehunieal talent to equal our opponents in the build
ing of iron vessels, but the cost of bringing the ore
frotn it* rude state to the perfect metal required,
.md of appling it then to the construction of the
huiia Kftd machinery of these vessels is so far in
advance of what England is required to meet, that
unless some otiier countervailing advantage can be
discovered, we are almost cut off trout the contest
upon any fair terms.
England with her cheap labor, her immense And
thoroughly developed iron works (made so, we be
lieve, through the suicidal policy by which we en
courag'd them instead of developing our native in
dustry in this branch of national power) has all the
vantage siie can ask, and naturally enough seems
prepared to pursue it to the farthest degree of pro
ductiveness. lfut though the prospect is not en
couraging, we may yet hope that American energy
and enterprise will find the way to render the com
petition more equal, and, whilst learning from its ri
val, find, iu its own superior activity and more in

Destorction of Vermin iiy Anesthetic Agents.
—M. Doyere has read a paper before the l’arie
Academy of Science on the destruction of vermin
by anesthetic agents, applied particularly to the
ridding of wheat insects. A Paris letter says that
extensive experiments were made at Algiers, with
the following results :
“Kxperimeuts have been made at Algiers on the
most extensive scale with these objects, especially
to ascertain their effects on cereals. It was ascer
tained that two grammes of chloroform or sulfure of
carbon per metrical quintal of wheat were sutlicient
to destroy in five days’ time all insects in wheat;
with five grammes of sulfure of carbon per metrical
quintal the Jeslruction takes place in twenty-four
hours. The action of chloroform is slower in conse
quence of the density of its vapor, which impels it
downwards and keeps it in the lower portion of the
wheat The action of sulfure of carbon and chloro
form may be made so prompt as to be instantane
ous if larger proportions be employed. The mars
of grain operated on so far from being a difficulty,
rather simplifies the operation. Kiperiments were
made on 11,00!) hectolitres of barley at once ; one
hundred pounds of the sulfure of carbon were used,
which required twenty minutes to introduce into
the mass.
These operations may be made successfully even
when the heap of grain is simply covered with a
water proof cloth winch is dosed witli clay near
tiie ground, on ev ry side The anesthetic agents
do not merely kill the insects, but they destroy the
larvai and the germs in the eggs, while the grain
operated on retain* alt its germinating properties;
the fetid odor ot Ihe sulfure of carbon is soon dissi
pated ; and after they have beqn exposed two or
three days to the air and moved occasionally with a
shovel, no trace of it remains. These grains so
treated, when ground and made into bread, cannot
be distinguished from grain which has not been
exposed to anesthetic agents. Animals ate the bar
ley while it was still fetid with.such an appetite and
avidity as to indicate that the odor and the savor
it retained were far trora being disagreeable to them.
M. Doyere states that the sulfure of carbon pos
sesses no physiological action which survives its
anesthetic influence; it js an enegetic anesthetic
without any consecutive toxical effect. He be
lieves, too, that the sulfure of carbon prevents grain
from beating itself and fermenting in granaries; on
this; - h * he promises to make further experiments."
M .VnoiiT THE New Dome.—Thirty-six of
thy f , ty-two hollow cast iron columns intended
forth lower section of the new dome are now on
tile ground,.with their Corinthian capitals of volutes
and foliage, ready for elevation to their places. It
is Ihe cast iron foundation plate of these that the
workmen are now engaged in preparing for their
reception. These columns are twenty-seven feet
long and about three feet in diameter at the bottom
and two and a half at the top. The thickness of the
iron is about two inches. They are fluted and pain
ted white. They were cast by Messrs. Poole &
Hunt, Baltimore. The mode of casting them was in
a vertical position, in dry saud. in a pit sunk for the
purpose thirty feet deep and lined with a c&st iron
curb perfectly water-tight.
The castings and other materials for the dome are
hoisted by a steam-engine placed on the top of the
Capitol, near the base of the dome. Large lathes
are set up in tiro machine-shop of the Capitol for
turning and fittingjlie eastings tor the dome, which
are procured in a rough state from different founders
in ditj'erent cities of tic I'flion.
Considerable diilieulty has already been experien
ced in the demolition of the old dome in finding effi
cient workmen at so great a height. Men, strong
and active on the ground were found to crawl about
the work, some of them uxutble to stand upright,

and regularly called by the central committee, as
sembled at Lecompton, the seat of government, this
day.
It Vas largely attended, there being absent but
thirteen out of sixty representative Voles.
They passed resolutions excluding all sectional
distinctions, adopting the Cincinnati platform, and
assuming the name of the rational democracy of
Kansas, embracing all democrats, whether from the
North or the South. They passed resolutions, by a
unanimous vote, pledging their support and co-ope
ration to Gov. N\ aiksr, amid enthusiastic cheers,
and nominated Gov. Hansom as their candidate for
delegate to Congresa. ... .
A resolution waa presented pledging support to
the State constitution to be adopted, even n teat
instrument shall not be gubmilted to the peop*e for
ratification After considerable discussion lias
resolution was rejected wrth but one dissenaftg
vote, and the result was announced amid loud
Cb This couventieu ww composed of a large majority
of pro-slavery men, but the whoie demoMtic party
of Kansas, whether pro-elaverv or free Stale, vrtk
sustain the inaugural address df Gov. Walker, and
tty>. gubmiaeiou of the constitution to the vot£ of tfie
people. Under these resolutions Gov. Ransom will
be elected, and the democrats #iil cany tlisc lerri*
torial legislature.
The constitution to be framed in September
next, it is now certain, wifi be submitted to the
whole people, and will be ratified by a laipe ma
jority. I cannot, of coffrse, now speak with cer
tainty, but the prevailing opinion is that they will
adopt a constitution securing the right to the shaves
now in the Territory, numbering about i
di ed; the execution'of the fugitive slave law. and
tha»*appeal in roastftutioua! questions to the Su
preme Court ofthe United ffcate* : a*id that, at the
same time the constitution is submitted, they will
also submit a clause, for the vote of the whole peo
ple, prohibiting or autlierixing th» introduction
slaves in future. It is conceded on all hands that a
larL'e majority of the people will vote to prohibit
the future introduction of -laves into this Territory.
They have also endorsed Gov. Walker's Indian and
land noiicy,.and will insert it in an ordfuaace ac
companying the con&titat.on.
It is probable, aiso, that they will inrifet on the
istrodnetion of the Smith western I mtian Territory
as a State, and probably .-eeure extension of their
northern boundary to tne Platte river, with the con
sent of Congress.
The complete success of Gov. Walker's policy,
through the hearty co-operation of the whole demo
cratic *»arty of Kansas, whether pro-slavefy or free
State democrats, is now certain.
Just before the convention closed, and after all
the resolutions had been adopted, a committee was
appointed to wait on Governor Walker and re
quest him to address the convention, which he did
ainid the_un?3t uproarious cheers—three times three
and a tiger.
Henceforth you may consider the Kansas difli
oulty as settled ou the platform of Governor Walk
er, sustained by the whole democracy of Kansas,
with scarcely a dissenting voice, and by the whole
democracy of Missouri-; w hich State fully under
stand 4 the question, has fully endorsed Governor
Walker’s plans, knows that they are the only plans
that are practicable, and that, except for the course
pursued by him, civil war would now be raging in
Kansas : that the free-State democracy would be
separated from the pro slavery democracy* and
that Kansas would be brought into the Union as an
out and-out abolition State.
Gov. Ransom fully agrees in the whole policy of
Governor Walker’s address.
Tlie Holmcsville Convention.—Guuldcn Nomi
nated for UongreMH.
We bad the pleasure of meeting with a gentle
man yesterday who came-direct from llolnaeeville,
and furnished us with the action of the Democratic
.District Convention.
The Convention met on Wednesday, and was
composed of thirty and some odd delegates, repre
senting thirteen counties. On the first ballot, Wm.
B. Gaulden, Esq. 4 ot Liberty, received all the votes
but three, and was afterwards declared the unani
inous choice of the Convention.
Before going into the nomination, a resolution
wHfKoffered adjourning the Convention to the 27th,
at Brunswick, according to the recommendation of
the Milledgeville caucus, but it was voted down al
most, unanimously.
We are further informed that Messrs. Gaulden
and fceward were both present, looking after their
respective interests. The latter desired to address
the Convention in vindication of his position, but
was politely refused a hearing—on the ground, we
learn, that it might lead to an altercation between
the two aspirants, and thereby disturb the harmony
(!) of the meeting. All objection was finally waived,
and Mr. Seward addressed the Convention for a half
or three quarters of an hour, and then retired. Mr.
Gaulden declined to reply.
After the nomination was made Mr. Gaulden was
waited on by a committee, and promptly accepted
the honor.
What is to become of the Brunswick Convention,
after thin, we are unable to say. A majority of the
counties Were represented at llolmesrille —indeed,
we believe, as many as usually are iu such eenven
lions —and should Mr. Seward resolve to run inde
pendently, the endorsement of a minority will not
strengthen his position. Result as it may, we are
decidedly inclined to the opinion that there is fun
ahead.
As a good and faithful party organ, we presume
the Georgian of this morning will fling the flag of
Mr. Gaulden to the breeze, to float side by side
with that of its Cherokee champion for guberna
torial honors.
Since writing the above we have been furnished,
by a delegate with a copy of the proceedings cf the
Convention, which will be found in another column
\tiav. Republican.
The Pkopogation of Fish.—lt appears to us,
that this country is sadly behind hand in relation to
the modern experiment of raising fish. The French
and the Germans have gone to work in earnest, and
thus immense quantities of fish are produced iu na
tural as well as artificial ponds. The Legislature
of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio »and New
Hampshire have appointed special committees to
investigate the subject, and report facts. We have
recently read ilie reports made to the Massachu
setts and Connecticut Legislatures, and some por
tions of Garlick’s Treatise on artificial propagation
of certain kinds of fish. The conclusion arrived at
by these reports is, that the trout, pickerel, yellow
perch, the sun fish and eel can be easily and pro
fitably propagated and raised in water adapted to
their peculiar natures.
The Berks and Schuylkill Journal says “ that the
trout, the most beautiful of tish, might readily be
raised by every fanner whose grounds are supplied
with a clear and cool spring. A fanner in Franklin
county has for several years raised one hundred
pounds per annum, for family use. A greater
and more healthy luxury for the table cannot
be found. A spring of clear water issues from
the hillside, some thirty rods from his house, and un
der the shade of spreading elms, he has constructed
artificial ponds, none of them exceeding three feet in
depth or thirty feet iu length. Some portions of
each pond is provided with a sandy bottom at a
shallow depth. The eiae of the stream is so small
that none except the smallest trout can pass from
one pond to the other. 110 usually feeds his stock
during the summer season every morning, furnish
ing them witn the common nngle-worm, grass hop
pers, garden worms, minced meat and corn brtad,
the rapidity of their growth depending on the abun
dance of the supply furnished."
The pickerel aud perch, regarded by many quite
as palatable as the trout, cau bo raised in less cool
and transparent water than the trout. The picke
rel is a bold biter and a handsome, daring fish.—
The perch is a hardy fellow, perfectly adapted to
sluggish waters, and as a table fish ranks very fair
particularly in winter and spring.
Iu China for centuries the propagation of fish has
been as common and well understood as the raising
of corn and fruit in this country. Our people are
not compelled to imitate the Celestials in producing
the means of subsistence, but we believe the rear
ing of choice fish for the table, can to a certain ex
tent, bo made an agreeable and profitable business
by those having the ownership of clear and cool
waters.— Balt. Amcr.
Withdrawal of the Southwestern Branch
of the American Tract Society.— At a special
meeting of the Southwestern Branch of the Ameri
can Tract Society, held in New Orleans on the even
ing of the 30th of June, 1867, the following pream
ble and resolut ions were adopted viz :
Whereas, At the recent annual meeting of the
American Tract Society, held in New Y’ork, May,
1867, the following resolution, among others, was
adopted, viz : “That in the judgment of your com
mittee, the political aspects of slavery lie entirely
without the proper sphere of this Society, and can
not be discussed in its publications ; but those mo
ral duties which grow out of the existence of slavery
as well as those moral evils and vices which it is
known to promote, and which are condemned in
Scripture, and so much deplored by Evangelical
Christians, undoubtedly do fall within the province
of this Society, and can and ought to be discussed in
a fraternal and Christian spirit.” And whereas,
The passage of such a resolution justly alarms the
friends of the Society at the South to its future is
sues, indicating as it does a departure from the prin
ciples that have hitherto governed it in relation to
the subjeet referred to, and as any such departure
trom those principles would justly impair the confi
dence of the Southern Christians in the Society,
and must entirely destroy its usefulness in this por
tion of our country, therefore
Beit Resolved, That so long as the Parent
continues to be governed strictly by the Constitu
tion, in the issuing of its publications, which is, viz :
“To diffuse a knowledge of our Lord Jeeug Christ
and the Redeemer ot sinners, and to promote the
interest of vital godliness and sound morality, by
the Circulation ot religious tracts calculated to re
ceive the approbation of all Evangelical Christians."
we will continue to give it, as heretofore, our fullest
confidence and our warmest support, and as its
Southwestern Branch, do all that we can for the
promotion of thofgreat objects Tor which it was
established.
Be it Resolved. That in the opinion of this Branch
the principle declared by the Parent Society, in the
adoption of the fourth resolution of—- May
last, is contrary to the spirit the Constitution, and
in opposition to the uniform action of the Society
for upwards of thirty years, and if acted upon, must,
however much it is td be deplored and regretted, at
once dissolve all connection with that portion-of
country represented by this Branch.
Be it further Resolved , That our Corresponding
Secretary be requested to furnish a copy of the
preamble and resolutions adopted at this meeting to
the various papers of our city, and also forward a
copy to the Parent Society at New York.
A true copy. K. H. Browne,
Corresponding Secretary.

have deserted this poteßt savior of the South. They
have execrated in the strongest and most unquali

Gov. Walker in Kansas, mid demanded his remo
val. James Buchanan has met these execrations
and demands by-«ndorsing Gov. Walker, and ehid

Here we have gne of the dirtiest freusoilers in the

I 1 rebuking the NashviMe Upion and American aLd

the democracy of the South generally, as ‘‘audacious

But who else claims this flirting President ? lie
j is fast gaining another admirer. The Tribune, the
; greatest rone of them all, is preparing to daily with
this President of Southern manufacture. The Tri
bune rebukes the South for complaining of Buchan
an's Kansas policy, and claims him for freedom
upon the following extract from his inaugural :
“It is the imperative and indispensable duty of
the Government of the United States to secure to
°very resident inhabitant the free and independent
expression of his opinion by his vote. The sacred
right of each individual must be preserved. This
being accomplished, nothing can be fairer than to
leave the people of a Territory free from all foreign
interference to decide their own destiny for them
selves, subject only to the Constitution of the Uui
ted States. The whole Territorial question being
thus settled upon the principle of popular soverigu
ty—a principle as ancient a? free government
itself—everything of a praotioal nature has been de
cided, and no Qther question remains for adjust
; mentj/hecause ali agree that under the Cojistitu».
tiou Slavery in the States is beyond the reach of
any human power, except that of the respective
States themselves wherein it exists.’’
The Tribune, quoting the above, remarks :
We might amplify and fortify this by extracts from
Walker's inaugural and his Topeka speech, pledg
ing himself to oppose and do his utmost to have Con
gresa reject any Constitution which shall not have
been freely and fairly’ submitted to the
of Kansas and ratified by them : but we choose to
rest on this distinct pledge of the President Imuself,
nut forth in the most important State paper which
he has yet had occasion to submit to the American
people. Will Mr. Buchanan stand by hie pledge 1 ?
I>ot a he now adhere to the uoini takable positions
qf his Inaugural with regard to slavery or No
Slavery in Kansas ? Will the Union explicitly an
swer }
The Union need not answer further than it has
already done. Its answer has been as satisfactory
to the freesoilers as it has been mortifying to the de
mocracy. The Cincinnati Gazette, a freedom-shriek
ing, negro-worshipping, slavery hating, sectional
paper is satisfied, as will be seen by the following
extract from its columns of a late date :
We publish to-day in full, on our first page, the
article in the Washington Union, the acjhninlsNation
organ, which it has already been stated was author
ized as embodying the views of Mr. Buchanan, on
the Kansas question From this article it is con
sidered, that Mr. Buchanan intended from the ft rat
to exercise all his influence to make Kansas a Free
Slate, and to conciliate the South , by using South
ern men as the instruments and officers to effect that
result.
Thus, while the froesoilers acknowledge the re
ceipt of th# stolen property, they rebuke the thief—
they chuckle over the spoils of treachery, and expose
the traitor.
But we have followed this subject far enough. If
there is a Southern supporter of Buchanan living
who will not already acknowledge himself cheated
and duped, we cannot envy him his independence.

Clinch Rifles’ Drill Room,
July 15th, 1857.
At z. called meeting of Clinch Rifles, held at their
Drill /loom, on Wednesday evening, 15th inst.,
Lieut. J. D. Butt in the Chair, the following pro am
ble and resolutions were unanimously adopted :
W hereas, it has long been a desire of a portion of
the citizens of Georgia, to foster a spirit of emula
tion among the Volunteer Corps of the State, and
substitute for the present inefficient, obsolete mili
tia system, an organization of Volunteer Corps
throughout the length and breadth of our beloved
State, and whereas, as an induction to the future
perfecting of these our dearest wishes, the patriotic
citizens of Bladwin county, of Milledgeviile, and
the Baldwin Blues, backed by the request of his
Excellency, Gov. Johnson, “in absence of authori
ty,” invited us to form an encampment aLMilledge
ville, commencing on the 2d and ending the 7th inst.
have thereby rendered the best practical illustra
tion ot the great efficiency of Independent Volunteer
Companies, over our present superanuated militia
system, and it is to be hoped that the exhibition at
the late encampment at the Capitol may have the
effect, at the next session of the Legislature, to pass
some suitable bill in lieu of the present militia laws,
that will foster and place in its stead a system of
Independent Volunteer Companies. Be it there
fore,
Resolved , That the Clinch Rifles, of Augusta,
will ever hold in grateful remembrance the patrio
tic motives which prompted thee itizens of Baldwin
county, of Milledgeviile, and the Baldwin Blues,
aided as the cause was by the request of his Ex
3ellency, Gov. Johnson, in inviting us in conjunc
tion with other uniform corps of the State to the late
encampment.
Resolved, That we lack language to express our
due t hanks, for the unbounded hospitality and greet
ing that awaited and met us, and pressed upon us,
even till the shrill whistle of the engine announced
that the parting hour had arrived.
Resolved , That the harmony and good feeling that
prevailed among the different corps at the encamp
ment, combining as it did the State Cadets, with
the Volunteer Corps, merit our especial notice, as
indexing a true knowledge that they approbate the
duties of a Citizen Soldier.
Resoled. That both the officers and privates of the
Clinch Rifles, in their intercourse with like grades
of those whom they met at the late encampment,
even met there with a feeling that soldiers only
know how to extend.
Resolved , That the different Committees having
charge of the programme of the Encampment show
ed themselves efficient, and as chief thereof) Col.
A. 11. Kenan stands unrivalled as a caterer.
Resolved, That our thanks are due the ladies,
who welcomed us by their presence and smiles.—.
Gathered as they were from all sections of our
State, it would be invidious on the part of the “Ri
fles” to say otherwise, than that all were beautiful
and,welcome to our temporary soldiers quarters, and
with a portion of us they would be more than wel
come to our permanent homes.
Resolved , That to the Putnam Rifles we return
our acknowledgements for their remembrance of us
in the last social hour that we spenf upon the tented
field, and cherish the hope that we may have the
opportunity of offering a like courtesy at some fu
ture time.
Resolved , That the handsome escort of the Irish
Volunteers, afforded on the return of the respective
Corps from Milledgeviile, which it will be our plea
sure to reciprocate, merits our thanks and affords
evidence of their sympathy in the cause that took
us to Milledgeviile.
Resolved, That these resolutions be published in
the city papers, and in the Southern Recorder and
Federal Union, of Milledgeviile.
Wm. 11. Byrd, See’y.
Washington Artillery.
At a meeting of the Washington Artillery held at
their drill room, on Wednesday evening, the 15th
instant, the so lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
1. Resolved, That the thanks of the Washington
Artillery are due, and dfe hereby tendered, to the
citizens of Baldwin conuty, the citizens of Milledge
viile, and the Baldwin Blues, for the kina and hos
pitable entertainment which we experienced at
their hands during the recent military encampment
at tile Capital of the State.
2. Resolved, That we will always cherjsh with
pleasure the recoffqction of the deep interest mani
fested by His Excellency, Gov*. Johnson, and the
Executive Committee, in the success of this military
demonstration by the citizen soldiery of Georgia.
3. Resolved, That the Irish Volunteers of Augus
ta, in escorting U 6 into the city upon our return
home, arc entitled to the highest regard of this Com
pany.
1. Resolved, That we return our thanks to His
Honor, the Mayor, for theoise of the two brass field
pieces, owned by the city, during our recent excur
sion.
5. Resolved, That these resolutions be published
in ofir city papers, and that the Federal Union and
Southern Recorder of Milledgeville, be requested to
copy the same.

mocracy have given to it an importance and con
sequence it could never otherwise have acquired.
W.e therefore hope the reader will scan it closely, as
it will be a document of frequent reference during
the ensuing campaign. A close investigation of its
principles will convince every intelligent, unbiased
mind, that it is only the legitimate working out of
the squatter sovereignty and alien suffrage features
ol the Kansas bill, the Cincinnati Platform, and Mr.
Bcch anan's letter of acceptance and inaugural.—
The Democracy, like all quacks, have, therefore,
only become suddenly nauseated with taking their
own physic, and are now making terrible faces,
in order to again make dupes of the Southern
people. Let, then, every Southern man lead
Walker’s Inaugural carefully, and at his con
venience compare its principles with those of
the Kansas bill, the Cincinnati platform, and Mr.
Buchasan’6 letter of acceptance, and Inaugural
address. They will be found identical in the great
and leading principles for the settlement of the Kan
sas question. Such a comparison will teach intelli
gent men at the South, who it was, and what party
leaders it was, that have beep so successful in their
treason to the South and her institutions.
1m Thin si New Dodge f
The Columbus 'rimes publishes Gov. Walker’s
speech at Topeka, to the Freeoilers ot Kansas, and
says: “It was for 'he doctrines advanced in this
speech, that Gov. Walker was denounced by the
Georgia Democracy.”
The following is the resolution adopted by the
Democracy denouncing Gov Walker :
3. Resolved, That the inaugural address of Gov.
Walker, in prescribing the terms on which Congress
shoulj, admit Kansas into the Union, and in at
tempting to dictate the submission of their constitu
tion for ratification, and to what eias3 of persons,
constitutes a presumptuous interference in matters
over which he has uo legitimate control, and that
the same address in expressing his official opinion
that Kansas would become a free State, and in pre
senting arguments to support that side of the ques
tion, is a gross departure from the principles of non
intervention and neutrality which were established
by the Kansas Bill; and this Convention has full
confidence that Mr. Buchanan will manifest his fi
delity to the principles which carried him into otlice,
by recalling Gov. Walker.
Has the President of the Convention (the editor
of the Times) so soon forgotten the actiou of the
convention over which he presided, and upon what
that action was based, or is this a new dodge to
shield Mr. Buchanan from censure 7 So far from
basing their denunciation upon the Topeka speech,
the convention seems not to have known of its ex
istence even.
The convention stultified itself by denouncing
Walker for his inaugural address, and in the same
resolution expressed confidence in Mr. Buchanan
when the fact was, however, that Walker’s In
augural was written before he left Washington,
submitted to the President and approved by him.
Can this be the reason why the Times now seeks to
shift the responsibility of the denunciation upon the
Topeka speech, instea lof the Inaugural ? If so,
it is rather sharp dodging.
“ Let not Walker and his backers lay the flatter
ing unction to their eouls that the opposition to him
is the work of “ Southern extremists'’ as they are
sometimes called. The voice that cries shame upon
him, is the voice not of party, but of the undivided
South.”— Eufaula Spirit , ( Democratic.)
“ The Administration is the principal “ backer”
of Governor Walker and lays the “ flattering unc
tion” to its soul—that is, if there is any soul in the
affair—that just such voices as the Spirit will re
ceive “ private assurances” from Washington and
cease their “ cry of shame.” Be careful, Mr. Spirit,
or you will have to swallow “ with shame ’ tine trea
sonable address of Gov. Walker, just about as
gracefully as you did the Pacific Railroad.”—Pratt
ville Statesman.
It is indeed wonderful to one nc*t familiar with
Democratic backing and filling upon any and all ques.
tions involving the “spoils,” to see what a soothing
influence, the discovery, that the President was the
principal “backer” of Walker, has had upon the
pent-up indignation and wrath of the Georgia De
mocracy. A most extraordinary change has sudden
ly come over the spirit of their dreams, and they are
ready now to swear by Buchanan, and, if need be,
will soon vindicate Walker— such is Democracy.
It’s only “ cohesive property Mr. Calhoun most
wisely and truly declared, was the “ public plun
der.” They had no principles then, they have none
now, save the “ loaves and fishes.” This trait In
the character of the leaders of the party, is now be
ing demonstrated in their course upon the Kansas
question. They pour out their denunciations upon
Walker, the mere agent, and express their undi
minished confidence in his principal and endorser,,
the President—the man who recommended and ap
proves the very acts which the Southern Democra
cy denounce. Why this difference The answer
is easy : Walker has no “ spoils" to divide— the
President has : and it is their “cohesive power”
which binds them to him.
Democratic Any How. —The Charleston Mer
cury, (says the Southern Native) sums up the
chances of making Kansas a slave State, thus :
“Let us be up aud doing, and if we can’t make
her a slave State, make her at least Democratic.”
Why of course make her Democratic! open
wide the doors for Emigration—invite all the jail
birds from Europe over—give them 160 acres of
land ; tell them that in this free and glorious and
magnificent country they have more rights than
natives —allow them to vote before being natural
ized—tell them to vote for no one unless he calls
himself a Democrat, and says he is for their having
equal rights with the native Americans.
This is the true Democratic policy of the present
day, as developed in the organization of the Kansas
and Nebraska Territories. A Foreigner who had
but just landed bn our -bores, could take up his line
of march to the Territories, and on his airival, vote
and take part in its organization, although he may
not have been in America a month, while a native
barn son, who has resided in the country from his
birth, could not exercise the same privilege, if he
lacked a day of being twenty-one years of age.
Such is modern Democracy.
Congressional Nominations. —la the Third
Congressional District, the Americans have unani
mously nominated the Hon. Roet. P. Triple,
for re-election to Congress. Ilis opponent is the
Hon. D. J. Bailey.
In the Second District, the Democrats have
unanimously nominated the Hon. Martin J. Craw
ford, for re election, although he had previously
declined a nomination. His opponent has not been
nominated. He will probably be the Hon. Wm. H.
Crawford.

The Bank ot Fulton.
Yesterday, we received the follo wing-letter frdm
the President,and the accompanying cotaununicalion
from the Directors of the Bank of Fulton, which we
publish with pleasure :
Bank or Fcjltok, Atlanta, Ga., July 16, ISIS'.
Mr. Joses— Dear Sir: I enclose a copy of a har
ried reply, by our Directors, to your correepondtmt
of the 15th inst, respecting the Bank of Fulton,
which you will please publish.
While I do not concede your right, nor thatof
any man, to interrogate me in the manner you do
respecting my private affairs, I can only say, so far
as I am concerned, that I-paid in the capital en
quired by my subscription, that I hold th. oertffi,-
cate of stock, subject to no lien or incumbrance. %r
pledges of any sort, and presume all the persons re
ferred to do the same. I only speak for myself.
Yours Respectfully,
A. W. Stone.
Bank of FrtTONi—While we believe, asa gener
al rule that a newspaper controversy, political or
financial.“is productive of little or no good, yet an
article in the Chronicle & Sentinel of the 15th inst,,
stated by the editor to be “from a reliable source,”
reflecting, as it does, severely upon the credit ot an
institution Which we represent as Directors, as well
as on our private character as honest men, demands
from us some notice.
We have been connected with the Bank, as Di
rectors, from its organization to the present, and
are familiar with all its operations, as well as resour
ce* and liabilities, and have no hesitation rh pro
nouncing the letter referred to as a base falsehood
and a libel on the Bank ; that it was conceived in
malice, and published {to gratify the malevolent
spleen of some disappointed applicant* who had
failed to make a tool of the Bank for his own pur
poses, and instead of being reliable , as the Chroui
cle would have its -readers believe, is wholly uu
worthy of credit or confidence.
The Bank is no Wild Cttt Its very small circu
lation is confiued at home, and ha# extended its en”
tire accommodation to the business men of our
community, affording all the facilities our limited*
capital would admit to advance the interests of thisC
section of the State; and we believe we have th#
right to loan or refuse money as ire please,
being subjected to an attack through the press.
It is idle to talk of such men as Whitaker, Thomp
son, Hayden, W. M &J. E. Williams being made
tools of by any body. Where they are known, their
reputation is a sufficient guarantee against any
such imputation. They are actual stockholders,
with stock paid in, in compliance with the Charter
which define* clearly their liabilities.
The knowing correspondent of the Chronicle &.
Sentinel had also discovered that a certain Gregory
had come from some place with full power to “close
the Bank.'’ We know that the Editor of the Chroni
cle swallowed the “Wahoo Bank,” and the Volcano
in upper Georgia, but did not think, he could be suffi
ciently imposed upon to be made to believe the
above assertion.
Where did he get his power ? Who delegated, or
had the right to delegate, such power to him or any
one? Nothing short of a meeting of all the Stock
holders, upon thirty days notice given, could grant
any such power—and then approved by the board
ot Directors. , _
No ! it \3 false. We are able to take care of the
interests of the institution we represent as Directors,
and shall do it. Neither Bill-holders, Stockholders,
or other creditors of the Bank, shall suffer loss. \\ e
are strong, and defy attacks of disappointed borrow
ers, or hoaxed editors.
A. W. STone,
A. Austell,
Wm. Ezzard,
Enw. W. Holland,
Dire dors.
In our remarks accompanying the article of our
correspondent, on the 15thin3t.,we used the follow
ing language:
“We call upon Messrs. Stone, M. W. Williams,
Whitaker, Hayden, J. E. Williams and Jos. Thomp
son, who are reported to own $99,000 of this stock
'which is said to belong to Wild Cat Financiers in
New York or elsewhere,) to give the public the
facts, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. —
Tell them whether you paid for the stock with your
individual funds; if borrowed, from whom did you
borrow it 7 and what kind of notes aud security
did you give !—did you give a lien on your Bank
stock, or pledge yourselves to turn it over on de
mand ? In short, state all the facts.
“ Yes, gentlemen, it is openly charged thatyou are
the mere tools of Bell &. Co., or Belknap Co.,
and that you have loaned them the use ot your
names to hold the stock of the Bank of Fulton. It
these things are*true, common honeety demands
they should be made known to the public—if they
are not true, it is equally due to your own charac
ters for honesty and fair dealing, and to. the nubiic,
that you should give.the statement a plain and trank
denial— one that contains no quibbling. It you otter
such a denial, we will give it publicity. Let us hear
from you, gentlemen.”
That is the call we made upon the principal stock
holders, and instead of a direct response from them,
we have been favored with the “ presumption ” of
Mr. Stone, and the unqualified denial of the Board
of Directors. llow can the Directors assert posi
tively that these men have or have not borrowed
the money with which they paid for their stock ?
Or, tht*t the stock represented by these ' parties,
is not really, and in fact, owned by others ?
What do they know about it ? aud what can they
tell ? Nothing, literally nothing, and their round
assertion that the statement of our correspondent is
not true, is of no value or force, because they know
nothing of tL« facts. And Mr. Stone’s il presump-
Iton’' possesses just as much force as the tlat contra
diction of the Directors. The one is of as much value
as the other, and neither of any. It has been
alleged, that these six stockholders held their stock
for others—that in fact it was not bona fide their
own property, although held in their names. Who,
then, were the proper persons to reply to this
charge 1 Certainly not the Directors of the Bank,
who know nothing about the matter, but the indi
viduals themselves. They were the men to reply,
and we called on them, by name, to make a full,
fair and truthful statement of all the facts, and we
would publish them to the world. Why have they
not replied ? They all live in Atlanta, and could be
assembled in the Banking house in an hour. But,
instead of reply ing over their own names, the Di
rectors put forth the above card. This single cir
cumstance is, of itself, very significant, and goes far
to confirm the correctness of our correspondent’s
statements.
A word in reply to Mr. Stone, who is so sensitive
about any allusion to his private affairs, who is re
ported to own $50,000 of the stock, and makes such
a flourish about his having paid in the capital re
quired by his subscription, &c. After such a
grandiloquent demonstration, the unsophisticated
reader will be surprised to learn that A. W. Stone,
I‘resident of the Bank of Fulton, acknowledged to
us, that he was not won.li the half of fifty thousand
dollars, and that Ac had actually borrowed the money
to purchase the stock , and given his obligations
therefor. Ye 3, reader, this is all true—every woid
as true as the sun gives light. Novr,Mr. Stone,
please inform the public from whom you borrowed
the money—on what terms did you get it 7 What
sort of an obligation did you give for it, aud what
security did you give so? its eventual payment ?
Who are your endorsers ?—what pledges did you
make, and what was the contract ? These are
facts the people would like to be in possession of,
Mr. Stone, and if you will write them out we will
publish them. A word as to your allusion to being
questioned about your private affairs. Sir, you are
the President of a Bank, a public institution—one in
the soundness and honest management of which the
whole people are interested. Your monetary af
fairs (call them private if you please) are not only
fit and proper subjects for discussion among the
people, but they have a right to interrogate you and
to know' the truth, and the whole truth, if it can be
ascertained. They have a right to interrogate you
about, and to know whether there have been any un
derhand or private arrangements made with Wild
Cat financiers. To that extent, sir, your private
affairs are proper subjects of enquiry, discussion and
investigation.
We regret that the Directors entirely failed to in
form the public who Mr. Oscar or JOssian Grego
ry is, and who and what does he represent or wha*
office does be hold in the Bank of Fulton. His name
does not appear in auy of the Bank reports a3 offi
cer or stockholder. What, then, is his business?
What does he do, and what is he there for ? Some
time since he was represented to be the agent
of John F. Bell & Co., the Wild Cat financiers of
New-York, who owned $50,000 of the stock of the
Bank. But Bell & jCo. failed, and Mr. Stone, the
President! informed the public that their stock had
been transferred to other parties—! wheat hose other
parties are Mr. Stone has never informed the pub
lic)—but Mr. Gregory, still holds'on. We hope
the Directors, in their next manifesto, will satisfy the
public curiosity as to who Mr. Gregory is ? What
his business e and what his connection with the
Bank of Fulton—who and what he represents and
what lie is there for. Anotqgi piece of information
would be exceeding acceptable to the public, and
might increase the confidence in the solvency of
the Bank, and that is, who owns the stock hereto
fore held by John F. Bell & Co. —what are their
names ? Where do they reside, and what is their
business ?
Give us tiie truth, gentlemen, tho whole truth, aud
nothing but the truth, and we will undertake to
protect the people against your “ hoaxing” them
by an attempt to deny and contradict what you
knew as little about as you do about the “Wahoo
Bank’ or the Volcano in Upper Georgia.
P. S. Since the foregoing was written, we have
been presented with the following note addressed to
F. C. Barber, of this city :
Mr. F. C Barber :—You are authorized to de
mand from W. S. Jones, (J. W. Jones) Editor of
Chronicle 4* Sentinel, the name of the writer of
an article appearing in his paper of the 15th inst.,
attacking the Bank of Fnlton, as I desire his name
for the purpose of having legal redress.
A. W. Stone, President.
So Mr. Stone and the Directors have ccneluded
toabandon the investigation before the public, and
have determined to try and deter persons from
making an expose of the affaire of the Bank, by
the thunders of a Court-room. This is not only a
very mistaken policy, but is quite ae significant a
(act as the refusal of the stockholders to answer.

Decline of Populatio* in New England.—
Some of tbe New England papers begin to notice
the immense drain upon their population by West
ern emigration. Whole families are moving off to
settle in the new Eldorado* beyond the Mississippi,
and vast numbers of the Didst enterprising, vigorous
and talented are leaving forthe Western wilds.

pute or controversy.
. Hacking Bqj lutnan anti Walker.
The Memphis Appeal, one of the few Southern*
journals that defends the Buchanan Walker poli
cy in Kansas, is in high glee to find that the Presi
dent Stands up manfully td Walker, and touches
tip the “spoils" organs, who have ventured to con
demn Walker, wliHe they expressed full eonfidenee
in Buchanan, in the following strain :
Work Ahead.— We know of some tenor a dozen
over- zealous Southern journals, which if they in
tend to adhere to the principles of the Kansas bill,
the Cincinnati platform and the Administration ot
Mr. Buchanan, have cut out more work since the
publication of Got. Walker's Inaugural, than they
will be able to make up for months to come. The
Know Nothing pahers will flood their shops with
such an amount of patch-work, that they will have
but little time to'devote to tbeir regular jobs. A
word to the wise, &e., &c.
This certainly is an ungracious and unkind cut to
Southern Demoertu y : and to have it given by a
Southern Democratic organ, is indeed cruel. The
fellow should be taken up and severely punished,
for his temerity in telling the duped Southern Tie
mocrata, they must stand by Walker’s Inaugural
and Topeka speech, his Squatter Sovereignty, Alien
Suffrage aud all his Freesoil proclivities, or abandon
.the Kansas bill,’ the Cincinnati platform and the
Administration of Mr. Buchanan ! This is indeed
too bad. We submit it to Southern Democrats
who have beeu'deceived aud betrayed by theft
leaders, if it is not ioo bad, now Uvbe told, that the
Kansas bill, the Cincinnati platform, and Mr. Bu
chanan’S Administration, all whioh they have
zealously and earnestly defended, are all—all hut
another name for Squatter Sovereignty and Alien
Suffrage. Verily, the times are changing, win'll a
Democratic organ can be induced thus boldly to
proclaim the truth. But Mr.BuuHAN.ANliaa ‘'s/wls
to distribute, and for these there are thousands who
would cheerfully sacrifice the South. Let the peo
ple be warned, and keep a strict watch.
m Democratic Testimony. —The Charleston Alcr
cnr'y of Thursday has a four and liulf column edito
‘rial upon Kansas affaibs, in which it sets out with
the declaration that “Kansas has been the subject
and victim of Federal misrule. All the difficulties
and contentious amongst the population and to
wards the legal authorities, have arisen from the
unfair and unwise action of the General Govern
ment. ”
The article winds up with the follow ing precious
confession :
-a “Another act in the grand drama of Southern dia
eomliture and humiliation is being played. An ad
ministration the South has placed in power, by a
course of treachery and ingratitude unsurpassed m
the annals of history, uses all its power for the over
throw of her rights and interests in our Territories.
California has been the prelude to Kansas. It Col.
Fremont, instead of Mr. Buchanan—the Black Re
publican, instead of the Democratic party—had
been installed in power in Washington, the rights
of the South would have beeu safe—safe in Kansas
—safe everywhere. We w'ould at this time have
been a great aud independent, people, or we would
iiA'vo settled our rights and interests forever, to our
Own peace and satisfaction, in the Confederacy.
Sad Death of a Professor.— The Ashville
(N. C.) Spectator announces the melauoholy intel
ligence ot the death of Prof, Mitchell, of the Univer
sity of North Carolina. The following conveys the
facts of the accident :
“About two weeks ago this gentleman arrived
here on his way to the Black Mountains, with a
view of making further explorations of that .region
of country. He left the Mountain House on this
aide of the mountains w ith the intention of crossing
them to Canoy River, without a guide. It was as
certained that he had never reached Canoy River
settlement, and supposing that he was lost, num
bers of persons stalled in search of him. His body
was found in the Cat-tail fork of Cauey River, on
yesterday, about 3 o’clock. It seems that he was
walking on the edge of a precipice, when his feet
slipped, he caught at a branch of laurel, but it
broke, and he fell into a long, unending eternity.
He fell forty feet. Os him it is needless to say any
thing—his reputation is the reputation of our Uni
versity and the State. To his exertions the pros
perity of the former-is as much due as any other
man. lie died a martyr to science and scientific
knowledge.”
A letter from a corresponnent states the faot
above mentioned, and adds that the deceased had
been connected with the University of North Caro
lina for over 50 years, and at the time of his death
was State Geologist.
The English Church. —It is stated by a French
writer that the English Church enjoys a revenue of
£9,000,000 a year. Blackwood’s Magazine cor.
rects the mistake, and states that the revenue of the
English Church is not nine, but less than three mil
lions. The property of the Church consists of the
accumulations of the religious gifts and charities o
more than a thousand years, and the landed estate f
chargeable with its maintenance, has been bought
and sold, subject to that condition, and with ade
duction in price proportionate to the amount to be
paid to the Church.
Douglas JErrold. —The Liverpool Mercury
says that Mr. Douglass Jerrold did not die in pov
erty, as has been supposed. Shortly before death
he had insured his life for £2,500 ; he was, besides,
a saving man, and his widow, it is stated, will have
an income of £6OO a year. The dramatic perfor
mance which Mr. Charles Dickens and his con
freres are about to give is meant as a token of
kindly remembrance.
A Noble Boy. —A boy, named Narcisse Laraon
tague, aged thirteen years, saved eight children
from the wreck of the steamer Montreal. It wa H
by seizing the door of a state-room, placing the
children upon it, and pushing it before him while he
swam, that, at different trips, he succeeded in laud
ing on a dry rock, or on the beach, eight of the
survivors, who would have otherwise met, with the
hundreds of others, a watery grave.
The Presbyterian newspapers gives the following
statistics of the Old School Presbyterian Church for
the year 1857 : —Synods in connexion with the Gen
oral Assembly, 31 ; Presbyteries, 156; candidates
for the ministry, 452; licenciates, 257;
2,411 ; churches, 3,251; licensures, 115; ordinations,
107; installations, 190; pastoral relations dissolved,
120; churches organized, 109; ministers received

to other denominations, 9 ; ministers deceased, 46 ;
churches dissolved, 19; members added on exami
nation, 13,296; members added on certificates, 9,-
719; whole number of communicants reported,
244,825; adults baptised, 3,376; infants baptized,
13,007 ; amount contributed for congregational pur
poses, $1,953,964; amount contributed for bands
and church extension, $578,238; amount contributed
for miscellaneous purposes, $210,502.
The Croaker*. —The croakers, well observes
the Boston Transcript, “are a large class n the com
munity. They are always prophesying evil. In
the good that they have are discerned the incipient
germs of a remote danger. If business is brtek and ■
flourishing, then there will soon be a *eaction, in
volving the whole community in loss. If trade is
depressed, blank ruin stares the trading class in the
face. Should the eeason be a damp one, the crops
are sure to rot in the ground without springing into
new life. But if the weather is dry and hot, the
same result is reached in the mental chemistry of the
croaker by a different process. These prophesyers
of evil never look for the good time coming, ” but
put it off a great deal longer. They are, in fact, a
pest and torment to those who would make the most
of a “weary life.”
Reported Death of Robert Holmes. —A re
port of the death of Robert Holmes, the celebrated
Irish barrister who defended Emmet in 1803 and
ohn Mitchell in 1848, has been going the round of
he papers, copied from some English journal. The
report, however, is unfounded. The venerable and
distinguished advocate, who has retired for som**
years from the practice of his profession, is alive
and well, and resides at present with his son-in-law
in London. He is said to have been much amused
at thoifiewspaper notices of his death, the errors in
many of which considerably diminished his faith ip
the truth of history.
Horrible Tragedy. —On the Ist inst. three
bodies were found floating in the river opposite
Naples, 111. Two of the bodies we re boys, and the
third that of a woman about 24 years of age. The
Winchester (111.) Chronicle , of the 4th, say* that it
is thought by those wbo saw them that they had
been in the water five or six days. They all bore
more or less marks of violence ; thfe boys’ skull be
ing fractured in several places. The woman's
bpdy was shamefully bruised in many places. After
being entirely stripped of clothing, She had been en
closed in a sheet, and a smoothing iron, with other
heavy materials, fastened about her neck, bo that
no doubt is left that it has been the work of some
demon in human form.
Prescott, the historian, is reported to have

The New York papers, of Wednesday, report the
city partially quiet* lu the 17th Ward, Tuesday,
large bodies of Germans filled the streets, convers
ing in an excited manner about the occurrences o
the day belbre. During the morning, circular}
pieces *>f paper, black, red and white, with holt-s
cut it? the centre, were posted about the city, as a
signal for a meeting of the Germans at night. The
coroner’s imprest over the body of John Miller,
closed about neon. At 4 o’clock, the funeral took
:
Funeral ok one of the Victims. —Long before
that hour, an immense crowd of Germans assem
bled on the aVenue. From. Second street to Fourth
the sidewalks were thronged with an excited multi
tude, and before the procession moved, there could
not have been less than ten thousand people pres
ent-, The windows, the awning frames, and even
spme of the housetops were .filled with spectator
Anticipating some disturbance, Mr. Talhnadge h
sued orders in the forenotfh to J keputy Superintend
eht Carpenter to detail a number of policemen from
theditlerei t precincts to the station
house, iu the Seventeenth Ward, corner of Bower ,
and Third street. Accordingly, he ordered up a
hundred and fifty men from the regular force, whi* h
in addition ta Inspector llartt’s command of forty,
madtpn hundred and ninety men at the Bowery s? .k»
tion house. Besides these, large reserves were held
iu readiness at the other station houses tlfloughou:
the city.
The Scene at Miller’s House. —A dense urns
of people surrounded the door of the house N.».
Avenue A., from about halt-past two o’clock. Kvi
donees of the most exasperated feelings w» re man
tested, by violent gesticulations and excited speech,
which extended to the female portion of tin* crowd.
The ball by which the deceased met his death had
been found by the physicians the morning, at d>
second pus: mortem examination,dodged iu ar tin
trachea. The hall was passed around among a
portion of the crowd, creating a spirit of absolute
ferocity. Each one was describing to the othc >
where ball entered, and where it was found
and on evefy side an indescribable clamor of voiet -
was raging . oaUfc, denunciations of the Met-ropoii
t ans, and piteous lamentations of the women veer*
frequent.
(>wer the *looi*uff the deceased's house, three
pieces of crape were ikmting: the marshals of tin
procession, with crape on their left, arms, wer •
forcing their way back and forth, through tin
crowd, while a continuous stream of people vo.
liowing in and out of the house, anxious to take
last look at their murdered comrade. The crowd
soon extended from the sidewalks to the middle «
the street, so that the passage of the vehicles wa
entirely obstructed.
At four o’clock the lieaise arrived, aud the crowd
concentrated imthe vicinity of the house. At tin
juncture an elderly gentleman came out on the door
step, and commenced an address in Gorman, which
our reporter was unable to understand; but rt et
feet upon the audience was alarming. The nu n
scowled ; sobs and moans burst front the Women ,
and from the crushing of those upon the outskirts *>i
the crowd to got within hearing of the speaker, h
seemed as if an outburst of fury might be momenta
l ily expected.
When the speaker concluded, a muttered “ bra
vo” arose. Then two or three younger men al
tempted to deliver addresses, but their language,
judging from the manner iu which it was uttered,
appeared to be more violent tiuui that of the prod
ding speaker. Thhy were immediately interrupted
by cries and hisses.
The Profession.—At ’half-past four the coffin
was placed on the hoarse, and the procession form
ed, under the conduct of Councilman Solmppert,
Reynolds aud Mansfield. About a thousand men
walking four abreast, marched first; then came liu
bel's band, playing a dead march* immediately pre
ceding the hearse. The pall bearers, wearing crape
on their arms, walked at each side. Immediately
behind the hoarse, awhile banner, dressed with
crape, was carried*, with the following inscription in
black letters : —“Offer der Metropolitan Police.’’
In English—“A sacrifice of^tlie*Metropolitan Po
lice.”
The body of the procession then followed iiv*
abreast, numbering in all, certainly, not less than
five thousand 111911.
An immense mass of people accompanied the
cortege on the sidewalksTand the windows through
out the whole line of march along the avenue anti
Third street were tilled with spectators; every oiu
of whom seemed to participate deeply in the gloomy
spirit of the proceedings.
Though the greatest number in the procession
were Germans, many Americans and others took
part in. It was originally intended* to convey the
remains to St. Nicholas Catholic Church, on Second
street, there to pel form the funeral rites; buttle
crowd being entirely too large to hope for aceom
modation, it was decided to proceed at once to Cal
vary Cemetefy by the Tenth street ferry to Green
point. *
Before the cortege moved a determination was
come to to march past the Metropolitan Police Station
house at the coiner of Bowery and Third street
The marshals seemed desirous to prevent this dan
gerous proceeding, but they were overruled. Loud
cries of‘‘The Bowery forbic" and “The Station
House Jorbit'” rose from the ranks, to which seve
ral imploringly cried li Neiu t win,' but the shouts
of “Yes, to the Bowery” predominated, and aeooi
dingly they proceeded along the avenue to Third
street and thence up the Bowery.
Passing the Metropolitan Station Hot i .
—As the head of the procession reached the station
house, an officer was standing on the sidewalk, with
his shield conspicuously displayed on his breast ,
and his club swinging to his wrist, and to appreciate
the full proportion of the hatred with which the Me
tropolitan force is viewed in that, ward, one should
have seen the scowl that swept across the faces of
the Germans, as they beheld him. The officers in
side at once called in their imprudent comrade,
and closed the glass doors. Several times the cor
tege halted, and came to a front before the station
house, as if they expected an order to commence au
assault; but on each occasion, the Marshals remon
strated, and compelled them to move on. They
could not restrain a burst of hisses, however, while
every eye in that long line ot enraged men was turn
ed towards the building as they passed. When the
coffin reached the station house a storm of groans
and execrations was poured forth. For a moment
there was a panic, and a sudden slaming of door;
in the vicinity indicated that the folks around were
alarmed tor their safety. It was but momentary,
however, for the procession passed on without any
disturbance occurring.
By the time the cortege reached Hie corner ol
Stuyvesant street, the crowd on the sidewalks had
considerably diminished, and it passed, almost un
accompanied, down that street and Tenth st reet., to
the ferry.
No females attended the funeral—not even the
widow of the deceased; nor were there any coach<\
present. It was composed entirely of a mass of
men, most of whom were evidently members «>i
military companies, judging from their precision in
marching.
The Meeting at Night.— A large and enthuni
astic meeting of the Germans of the 17t.1i ward was
held Tuesday night, in pursuance of a public
call, at the German theatre in 4th street.. This
spacious edifice, which is almost twice the size
of the Broadway theatre, was filled to Us utmost
capacity. The place for the chairman and speak
ers was on the stage, and the body of the thea
tre was filled in close and compact order by the
crowd. At 8 o’clock precisely, • the hour fixed foi
the meeting, an organization was made by calling
ex*Coroner Wilhelm to preside Over the meeting.—
The nomination of that gentleman as channan wa>
responded to by a unanimous vote of the people
present.
A number of speeches were made—some very in
ll&mmatory in their character, and others appeal
ing to the sense of the crowd to obey the laws and
let Miller’s death be avenged,by the courts Tin
meeting adjourned, after adopting resolutions de
nouncing the police, but promising to abide 1/y the
laws.
The police of New York now numbers but
men. whereas the old force comprised over PJOO ,
and it is to its weakness, as much as to its unpopu
larity, that those riots have occurred*.
Mercantile Failures in San Francis* o.— l IV*
San Francisco papers speak of an unusual depres

Co., importers of groceries and provisions, bad shut
up their doors. The firm had lately been Belling
goods to the amount of SIOO,OOO per month. Their
whole liabilities are reported to o s*»oui $160,000.
It is rumored that they ascribe their inability to
meet payment to the discovery, lately, that, there
is a deficit of some $70,000 in their account. By
whom the money has been taken tli«*y cannot tell,
but they ascribe the loss to a former dork, who its
now in the Atlantic States. M. S. Martin, clothing,
store, had attacliment suits commenced by his
creditors, to whom the liabilities incurred amounted
to $19,000, against W. K. Doty &. Co., $13,763.
Wm. F. Fisk, Samuel Loring, Philander Fisher, ami
Henry Harrow, also apply for the benefit of in«uj

Walker in the West*— -The Memphis Appeal
(Democratic) after referring to the endorsement of

Warfare upon Walker wltl of course now cease,
and those presses In the country disposed to keep
up the clamor on this Walker Kansas question,
must direct their battarias agaftist the udminisfra
tion and against the Democracy of Kansas. Gov.
Walker ha# shown that he has acted under instruc
tious from the President, and we hoM that it is un
manly to make war upon tlje servant whpa he is
pursuing the instructions of fils master.
We moreover hope that the President^iii giv*-.
no heed ttfthedemauds for Walker’s r*.-mill from the
territory. Hkould Uii# be dose, we lloubt whether
there is another man in the limits pf the Union who
would undertake Ilia pacification of Kansas. Three
Governors have already failed, jmd should Walked
also fail, the Governorship of Utah would be far
preferable to that of Kansas.

Thk Richmond “Sou Hi high Democratic au
