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 of thin glorious day Small sums of money, varying ftom I“1 cents to SI .60, according to the tinancial prosperity of their parents, have been annually given them to expend on this occasion, which indeli bly impress* the fact upon their memories, and leads them to look dow n with pleasure to its return.

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 del the liritish.

American. 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.

The regular national democratic convention re presenting the several counties of this Territory, 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.

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.

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.

What do you think now of Mr. Bu chanan ? lias lie not deserted the South, aiul thovvn I hknseif inc ontinently into the arms of the harlot of ! the North ? 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. — Nash. Banner. 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.

Governor Walker’. loaunnil. To gratify a very generally expressed desire to see the Inaugural address of Gov. Walker, to the people of Kansas, extracts from which we have heretore published, we publish it entire. Its en dorsement by the President and his Cabinet, and .the denunciation by a portion of the Southern De 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. Fine Strawberries.— D.

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. Rfnomination of Fremont.—The New Hamp shire Republicans are looking to the future.. The Republican members«f the late Legislature, before adjourning, passed the foflowing resolution, in se cret caucus, by a unanimous vefe : , Resolved, That we nominate John C.

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. Ml. Cox not Killed.—The Cincinnati Enquirer" which gave currency to tbe rumor that the Hon Mr. Cox bad been killed by tbe Hon. Mr. Mason, in Kentucky, now announces that the "story is without foundation, and that they Lave had no serious dis 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 from other denominations, 33; ministers dismissed 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 received $26,000 as the income from his literary la bors during the past year. The warm weather is telling with terrible effect on the health of the city of New York. During the week ending on Saturday there were 421 deaths, being an increase of 113 aa compared with the previous week. This large increase is mainly attributable to diseases of the lungs and kindred complaints, and diseases of the digestive organs. Os the total number 218 were under tefi yeare of age. The Hon.

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 sion in business in California, Glading, Ilogg fc 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 vent laws. Col. E. J. C. Kkwen announces in the St. Louis Intelligencer hia intention to deliver a lecture in that Cfty, Louisville, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Ptnla delphia and New York, relating to the past history of Nicaragua—the advent of Americanism into country—the events winch have lately transpired within its limits—and thejdestiny to which it is lend ing ; and to appropriate whatever proceeds may be thus derived for the relief of the returned volun teers and their wives and children, whose destitu tion and suffering have excited so mini* sympathy. Col. Kewen deserves credit for this praiseworthy and disinterested resolve. w ♦— The Tehuantepec Rout*;.— The Government, it Is asserted, has recognized Le Sore’s Directory of the Sloo Tehuanlepqc Company, and the Garay Company unites with it for certain purposes. Jlar gous advances $300,000 to finish the Road. The Government inuteucts Mr. Fursytft to Insist uponthe security of the righta.pf American citizens underthe Tehuantepec grants. The eight h'article of4he Gads den Treaty is relied upon as sufficed, for the Uni ted States. Senator Benjamin goes out witi* in structions, and as agent for the Tehuantepec Com pany. A mail contract is to be given, and the road will be opened in November. Walker in the West*— -The Memphis Appeal (Democratic) after referring to the endorsement of Walker, both by the administration and she Demo craoy of Kansas, concludes as follows • 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.
