Mit Editor: —ldo not feel that a few facts, briefly net forth iu relation to the “ paramount ques tion ’ of past., tut well as present, political coutro versy, would be uninteresting to the public : while at the same time, I can answer the many inquiries of friendsHH to what position I shall take in the pre sent political campaign. I premise, by saying, these facts and the history, though short it be, of the Democratic party North and South, upon one 4 * vi tal question” cannot fail to arrest the attention of every thinking patriot. When it was clearly ascer tained, years since, that the old Whig party was un bound upon the question of slavery, the Southern wing of that party, true to their instincts and in terest •<, dissolved all connection with their Northern brethren, and it was matter of plausible notoriety too, that they did it from a sense of justice and right to themselves aud their particular section.— The National Democratic party kept up its organi zation. lu the course of time a new party sprang into existence, known as the American party, and soon assumed a magnitude truly formidable. The nmuifold elements and great variety of po litical objects to be accomplished by that party, with some very impolitic features, caused its defeat in nearly every Slate in the Union. While serious objections were made to some of. the principles set forth iu the platform of the Nation al American party, it was nevertheless regarded, upon one question, as not only being entirely unob jectionable, but highly deserving the support of Southern men. 1 mean the twelfth section of the American platform of 1855. A great many men in Georgia, who had always been Whigs, and seeing no reason why they should join their ancient enemies, co-operated with the American party in the Congressional and State elec ton of 1855, caveing but little about, and disregard ing many features in the platform, believing that time and public opinion w ould rectify whatever might appear wrong. I, for one, acted with them on this belief. The American party asHembled in Nationa Convention in the city of Philadelphia in the month of February, in tin* year lH. r »(>, and adopted a new platform, wholly abrogating or Kiipplanting the twelfth hoc lion, a feature iu the old platform that utrougly commended it to Southern men. It wn.** my opinion that the modification wan wrong, and that- t lie platform as preaented waa inimical to Southern inteieste, and ought not to be supported by Southern men ; hence, 1 did refuae to vote for Mr. Fillmore. It then became the duty of Southern Americana to cast about them, to aee what was to be done. They had dissolved their former party utfiliations. A great question was to be settled, in which were involved not only our rights aud inter ests in the Territories of this Government, but the permanency of the government itself. This state of things brought about deep reflection in solid minds, and some of t lie best, purest and ablest men of the American party, refused to give their adlie siontoa platform, and support to a man for the Presidency, who, by his platform, was pledged against what was considered our equality iu the go vernracht. Men who had always been true to party professiug principle—men who had never been ob noxious to the charge of having “changed their poli tics, ’ were forced to pass the ordeal of public vitu pemtion, or support Mr. Fillmore. Many, very many, ran the gauntlet. In the meantime, the Democratic party, having discovered the disafl'ection in tiie ranks of the American party, South, on account of this change in their platform, pointed them to a Convention soon to assemble at Cincinnati, to erect a platform and nominate a candidate for the Presidency, the platform to be just and equitable in its principles, the candidate, patriotic, national and conservative. This Convention did its work. Its platform was fair in words, recognizing to the fullest extent, upon the principles of non-intervention, our equal partici pat ion in the territories. The candidate put forth by the Coon vent in reiterated the doctrines contain ed in the platform. Hope ami assurance were thereby given to the South. Southern men, Ameri cans, who refused to support Mr. Fillmore, had, in my opinion, but a plain duty, and that was to tall into the r. nks of the National Democracy and sup port Mr. Huchanan, its nominee. They did so. Success, brilliant and triumphant, crowned the Democratic cause at the South. The whole country. North and South, bailed Mr. ltu chanau’s election as a happy eveut in our political history. Americans even, at the South, expressed no regrets, and some distinguished for their states manship. grounded their opposition aud gave a cor dial support to Mr. Buchanan's administration. It was but just, then, to anticipate a glorious return to the purer days of the Republic. Fanaticism had hushed. The dreaded enemies of tiie constitu tional rights of the South, the Black Republican par ty, by the “material aid" and co-operation of the Southern States rallying to the support of Mr. Bu chanan, were on erwhehned and routed. Peace and quietude, the promised boon of Democracy, bid fair soou to be realized under tiie auspices of Mr. Bu chauan'g most gracious reign. Our Kansas Troubles were all to be healed, aud mutual confidence re -tored, through the opportune aud able administra live capacity of one Robert J. Walker, of Missis sippi, whom Mr. Buchanan appoints as Governor ot that Territory. The South was resoiiaut with re joicing at so fit’ aud wise a selection. No language was adequate to speak the giatitude of the hearts of tne people to the President, for his almost seem ing partiality to us. as evinced iu this appointment of a governor for Kansas. Truly, we thought we hold a Northern man with Southern principles.— Gov Walker reachtd tiie seat of his official duties and publishes an address to tiie people of Kansas, in which are contained doctrines not iu keeping with the principles upon which Mr. Buchanan ob tained the support of the South, to-wit. non inter action and clearly foreshadowing a policy, if carried out. must operate to tiie injury of, and work a* great cheat upon the Southern interests in Kan -as. This departure from official duty as well as violation of law, brought down at once upon Gov. Walker the condemnation of the American party south, and created considerable muimuring in the Democratic ranks. These complaints would doubt less have ceased, for what Democrats thought in sufficient evidence to convict Gov. Walker of a dereliction of tVir rights, but for a speech subs*- .lUently delivered, to the abolitionists, at a place called Topeka, in Kansas Territory. In that place i e said, iu relation to the final adoption of the Con stitution : "I speak not now iu regard to the past or auv registry of votes, nut I speak as regards the future. My doctriue is this—that in the future, w lieu the Const tut ion shall be submitted to the vote of the citizens of Kansas, that it shall be submitted to the vote of the whole people. 1 do not mean those who are now registered under the Territorial laws. Ido not mean those who were residing here on the loth of March last, but 1 mean the whole people of Kansas—not only those who are here now, but those who will be here next fall as actual resi di nts.’’ These people had assembled at Topeka in pursuance of their designs of a separate, as well as in opposition to, the Territorial Government , and Gov. Walker took this occasion'to inform them, and did exhort them to delay their movements, and u-od an argument to convince them that their aims belu * r accomplished when the Const it u next not I*"** , Pl i° usd ** Emitted to the people !

Was, 01 ever has been misplaced there is at tbiatimea diversity ot opinion m the liemocratie party ot Georgia As to the treachery of Gov VV alker, there is not so much controversy, the only thing to be determined, is as to the participation of Mr. Buchanan, or as to whether the conduct of hi* official meets his approbation. Gov. Walker in reference to this subject, held this language “ with these views well known to the President ind the Cabinet and approved by them, I accepted the ap pointment of Governor of Kansas ’ The Washing ton l liion, the usually accredited organ of the Ad ministration, and which, whenever it speaks is ta ken ami received as coming er cathedra , fully hu« tains the declaration of Gov. Walker, and bitterly replies to the resolution of the Democratic party of Georgia. From the otherwise ominous silence both of the President and the Southern wing of his Cabi net, ( who surely ought to speak, the South manifest mg *0 much anxiety to know the truth,) it is pretty generally yielded that the Pi evident has proved pen i passu in this matter with Gov. Walker, if he has not preceded him. To reasonable minds’ then •Mr. Buchanan*bcomplicity in this matter is a fixed fact; nor does it require time, or other circum stances, to demonstrate it. This, then, 1 take to be a gross departure from the principles and profes sions upon which lie was elected—that the South, entitled to better treatment from the hands of both Gov. Walker and the President, have, by them, been betrayed. It is notoriously true that those Americans who supported Mr. Buchanan last year predicated their support upon the isolated question of slavery. By his election Kansas was to be secured to the Houth. To accomplish this much desired object, men every where were exhorted to lay aside all party names, prejudices and affiliations, and join in the holy crusade for Southern rights, and men, prompted by a patriotism higher and nobler than party feeling or party pride even, heeded the call, and entered cheerfully,cordially and industriously into the sup port of Mr. Buchanan. I, for one, did it. The one question of slavery not only called to his support a portion of the American party, but as I understood the then position of the Democratic party, it was Mr. Buchanan’s soundness and favorable inclination towards the South, that commanded their support. And some of their orators were so deeply interested in the one question, that Mr. Fiilmore would be preferred, were he just sound, were it possible that Mr. Buchanan could not defeat Fremont. No other principle then was involved in the canvass of last year, South, save the slavery question. It is with some difficulty, then, Mr. Editor, that Mr Bu chanan’fl administration can be sustained by any party in Georgia. There is a well r ?cognized maxim in law', “the reason reusing, the law ceases.’ The reason why Mr. Buchanan was supported at the •South having ceased, there can be found no law' of party or morals that will bind men at the South to him longer. 1 say he can no longer claim my alle giance or that of the American party who support ed him in his election. Will the Democratic party still adhere ti him, or will they rather imitate the motives and examples of the Americans of last year, and soar above and get away from party shackh-x! Parties may retain names, but when principles are forsaken, they become mere engines of public plun der. Is the Democratic party North and South now held together by any principle, involved iu the last canvas*, as deemed of any importance in the South ? it doth not appear. The Democratic par ty, not only of this Union, is broken up in its na tional organization, upon principle, but its State or ganization in Georgia is a mere mockery and farce. In one portion of the State the party sustains not only the President, but Gov. Walker himself. In another Walker is denounced and the President sus tained; in other section both are condemned. The Western A- Atlantic Railroad is a favorite scheme with Cherokee Georgia; in Middle and Southern Georgia they are clamorous for its sale and removal from the hands of the government. This is surely the condition of the party every wl ere. And what is not a little diverting, they call to us Americansand Whigs, who co-operated with them one year ago, “to hold on, don’t leave us. We are still the glo rious, harmonious Democracy.” A few words in relation to the Georgia elections, and lam done. Seeing, then, the Democratic par ty, occupying such antagonistic positions in relation to the Walker-Kansas affair, and the position of the Democratic candidate for Governor, being un defined, and if defined, differing from the senti ments of a great portion of his party, if elected, who can determine whether it is to be intended as a re buke to the administration. It may be argued tlial if he is elected, his position is sustained, and if he condemn the administration it is condemned ; if he sustain the administration it is sustained. I say, if he will do this, well enough, but from the present posit ion of that honorable gentleman, can you de termine this question ? Isay emphatically no. I want this question met and determined. The peo ple desire it. How shall we then act so as to give the seal of disapprobation to the conduct of the ad ministration l Again, to you old Whigs and Ame ricans, supporters of Mr. Buchanan —what should be the line of your policy—to what party shall you go to preserve your political consistency or politi cal honesty even? Without dictating to others, 1 say 1 shall go to that party, who, in sincerity, is ina king war upon the present corrupt, time serving, ruling powers, and hope that the intelligence of the voters of Georgia will cause them so to investigate, and their patriotism so to act, as will bring them in to 1 lie support of those men and measures best cal culated to insure their country's greatest prosperi ty. Those men advocating those measures are now before the country. For Governor, I shall give my support, to that man, whose genius is only equalled by his merit, and whose birth-place, ability, patri otism and integrity of character are safe guarantees that 1 shall not again be betrayed, and whose elec tion will, in an uumisiakeable manner, give to the administration that rebuke which it should receive from the entire South.

Editor : —After a preface of apologies which this honorable gentleman would desire the people of the Bth District to consider no apologies, for not. making his sentiments known earlier in the canvass, he proceeds to reply at great length to the calls that have been made upon him to allow his name to go before the* District again forre election. Whatever may be the reasons, which he appears to think suf ficient tor his long and profound silence, it is lair to believe that they have not always existed since his name has been mentioned in this connection, and since his determination to become a candidate. 11 is sense of duty will not permit him to decline—par ticularly at this juncture , which juncture is just when a representative is to be elected, and the same sense of that overpowering duty has never yet per mitted him to indulge “a day of rest in that cher ished home,’ which he prefers to “ a whole life ■pent at Washington.” The people of the Bth Dis. trict are altogether too exacting to require so great a sacrifice of the honorable gentleman, and ought really, in consideration of long services, and his slaughter of the Know Nothings, to allow him to remain at home, at least for one term. It cannot be that Mr. Stephens intended to mis lead, when he says, “ during the whole time I have represnted the District, the honor has been con ferred without any party nomination.” lie speaks, pei haps, of the Bth District, but a wrong impression may result from the vagueness of the terms em ployed. lie caunot deny, that down to the last election, he has always been a candidate of the Whig party, whether of the 7th or Bth District, and whether formally nominated or not. He will not pretend, that, as to the old Whig and Democratic parties, he has been in a state of delectable between ity, and ready at all times to go to the strong side If he wishes to say that he was not a Whig, let him say it in so many words, and the people of the Dis trict will be able to locate him. If he be a Demo crat now', let us know it. Can he be any!hing else ? There are but two parties in the South, the Demo cratic and the American, for the Anti-Know Nothing has been swallowed up in the Democratic party. Is he afraid to publish what he is and where he is ? Does he support llrown ? Will he vote for him? If elected, when he goes to Washington, will he sus tain the Administration in case Mr. Buchanan fails to re call Walker by that time ? What indulgence will he grant Mr. Buchanan ? How long will he W’ait ? Do the principles upon which Mr. Buchanan was elected, demand the re-call of Walker I If they do, can they be trifled with? May they be frittered away and their vitality be utterly eviscerated by delay 1 Such are the questions of the canvass, upon which Mr Stephens has entered, and he has signally failed to define his position upon any of them He mysti fies the issues by a two-column article, upon a text taken from the Columbus Enquirer , and dives into the census reports for statistics, which most men care not to investigate at this time ; and if they did, have no copies of the census at hand to correct his mistakes by. Doubtless he hopes the people will find “The pleasure is as great Os being cheated as to cheat; As lookers-on feel most delight, That lea it perceive a juggler’s flight, Ami still the less they understand, The more they admire his slight of hand. ’ But this tbiug cannot, must not cont inue. Voters want light, even if they get it from a dark lantern. It enables them to see a point, which is not to be found in Mr. Stephens' long letter. More anon. Marion. Fore zc Cronical 4* SenlineUe.

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST ?<>, 1857. For the Chronicle 4* Sentinel. Hon. T. \V. Milter m Snxv Dn*r. Mk. Editor : —On Saturday last, a very resecta ble number of the citizens of Columbia county, met the Hon. T. W. Miller at Saw Dust, to partake with him a complimentary dinner, which they had pre" pared for the occasion. Everything went off re markably well. The cue was well dressed, and just exactly the thing that every body wanted, and which everybody enjoyed. Great credit is due to the Committee for such an ample supply of everything that was necessary to make a good dinner pass off Well, especially when we know that it was gotten up at short, notice. The citizens of Columbia, (those in the neighoorhood of Saw Dust in particu lar,) were anxious to be the first to express their at tachment, and rtspect for him as a man, and their confidence iu him to represent faithfully their inte rests in the Congress of the United Slates. Mr Miller doubt less feels highly complimented by this expression of good fellrng towards him, and the people will never have cause to regret that they now have an opportunity of electing for their Re. preeentative, one whom they have always believed iu. At 11 o’clock Mr. Miller took the stand, and com menced his speech by thanking his fellow-citizens for the distinguished compliment paid him in ten dering him a public Barbecue. He acknowledged himself highly flattered that any considerable body of men should deeire to know his political opinions in relation to the great questions which now divide the parties of the country, and assured them they should have his opinions iu candor and lainieos. Mr. Miller then alluded briefly to his past votes— announced himself unqualified opposed to Mr. Bu chanan’s administration- —deprecated his course in Kansas—denouncing him as a traitor to the South, for having turned upon the interests of the section of country that placed him pow er. He took up the Kansas bill, and pointed out with strength and force its violations ot the Administra tion. He knew no line between Walker and the Administration—the acts of Walker were but the carrying out the instructions of Mr. Buchanan. He spoke long and feelingly of the course of Mr. Fill more, of the compliments paid him by all parties in the country, at the time he retired from office. Mr. Miller spoke about an hour and a half to the most attentive and orderly political assemblage w r e have ever witnessed, and at the close of his speech all hands were invited by the courteous committee, to partake of the ’cue, which they fell into with as good will as they had listened to Mr. Miller, and closed well satisfied with the ’cue, Mr. Miller, them selves and everybody else. More real good feeling has seldom been witnessed on any similar occasion. After dinner, Col. Milledge was called to the stand, and addressed the audience with a force and eloquence peculiar to himself, iu which, if possible, he made Mr. Hill amountaiu, and Mr. Brown beau tifully less*—each effect equally difficult. He need not speak of Mr. Miller—every person present knew him personally, and to know him was to re spect him ; he therefore would take up for his friend Hill, who was truly a mountain, but out of sheer modesty was named Hill. Col. Milledge spoke for an hour aud a half, in w’hich he declared himself an American from beginning to the end—from the lirst plafform to the last — he swallowed them all, they digested easily—they were the principles that every native American honestly felt. The Colonel made a forcible and able speech, and one that will be con sidered well before voting, by those who heard him. The whole scene dosed in admirable order, leaving the Hon. Thos. W. Miller in tine spirits, assured of a good report for Saw Dust in October next. Cherokee. For the Chronicle 4* Sentinel. The “Skillet Friknp “Woodstock** —Your letter through the Chronicle 4* Sentinel ,” of the sth, is before me, wherein you propound some very interesting ques tions, which, of course, I’m bouud to answer, if I can, that you and other friends, not so happiiy situa ted, may get “posted up” about that “skillet toting” mania so prevalent, just, now amongst the great man and the small men of the Bogus Democ racy. .Joe Brown says that he is toting the skillet fixed up (I say; by the great “toter,” called the “3d resolution” —that same Kansas ahrieker, who rant ed around the Bth District in ’55, and, if all reports are true, expect-to try it again in ’s7—and who beat up on the rim of his skillet, and euug the Kansas Hal' laloosong , “come unto nie Alexander Hamilton Stephens, on the Georgia Platform, toting my own skillet!” He is now fixing up the cracked rim of that old skillet by the hocus poens he so well un derstands, and when we hear the sound of the bell meUle, we may look out for all sorts of “sop.” Let us prognosticate a little. There, in the skillet, will “boil and bubble” a few scraps of sound passable meat, no doubt, but it will be smothered in such a mess of bogus-fogus, Buck and no Buck, Bob Walker and the d—d 3d Resolution, Joe Brown, Kansas, with *ts “soil, climute and productions,’* dead against slavery, Freesoil, Free-State, National Democracy, that it will take you, “Woodstock,” and Peter Q. C., too, next to always, to find one single grain's weight of that sound, wholesome meat “bobbin’ around” in a sea of incongruous and stinking mass of putrid demagogueisms ! But, se riously, my friend, with the Toombs, Stephens, Thomas, and Jack Howard wing of the Democracy, that “third resolution” is a move on the chess board to checkmate Lumpkin's and Cobb's wing of the same; and try and send Ho hue! back as a U. S. Senator, over the head of any and all of the old line Democrats, who have “Jit, bled and died," a score of times for the part/. It is my opinion that our friend Bobnel won’t “ come in" for Che rokee Democracy are “sot agin him,” say what you will,and “third resolution” men and denouncers of old Buck, may look out for squalls now, as the fight between the “Kamsas shriekers ,” all of whom claim to be Democrats, (Jerusalem! what a set!) is one of great interest. Let us look on, and cn courage, in every way we can, the contestants, caring not a d—n which whips, but taking especial care to whip them both out in October. This we can do, if the honest masses of Georgia are correct ly informed, and thoroughly “posted up.” That there is any principle involved or contained in the platforms or party arraugements of modern bogus Democracy, no sensible man can for a moment be lieve. That there is not one single iota of patriot ism or love for the South and her institutions, amongst the leaders of Bogus Democracy, is a well know n, well-established fact. “A good tree bringetb forth good fruit " Show me one good specimen of fruit that they have brought forth in lo ! these many years, and, for one, I will take especial pleasure in jotting everybody see it and hear of it. The truth is, the new accessions and the old lines of the Bogus Democracy have entered into a Joint Stock Manu facturing Company of “skillets" and although they put different brands upon every job, the ear-mark h the same. “ Deception ” (of the people) is the “trade-mark” of the concern ! It is to be hoped that in the present canvass and all succeeding ones, the people of Georgia will require a plain, straight forward, unmistakable reason from this Company for everything they promise and expect to perforin. We can then know what to do, and will not again be caught, as so many good, honest, true and pa triotic men have been in the past, by the chieaucery of political demagogues. Pktkr Q.C. Smith. For the Chrpnicle 4* Sentinel. To (lie Hon. A. 11. .Stephens. Upon reading your long address this morning, ami noticing its peculiar obliviousness, upon ques tions of importance, and questions which should be answered, I propose now to propound them, and if you do not answer them, I suggest to our friends in every county to have them propounded ; and 1 trust your opponent will reiterate them : Are you now runniug as the Democratic candidate for Congress, or merely “ toting your own skillet V* Do you favor a distribution of the public lands or the proceeds o 1 sales among the States ? Are you in favor of the Government building the Pacific Railroad ? Are you in favor of a suspension of our neutrality laws with Spain ? If the French Spoliation bill again comes before Congress will you support’it? If Walker is not removed from Kansas, what will be your position towards Mr. Buchanan and his Ad ministration, and how long are you for waiting up on him ? The above questions are the only practical ques tions likely to come before the next Congress, and in a long address you have dodged every one—for what reason I leave it to the intelligent voters of the Bth District to decide in October next. If you pre fer old issues, I submit the following inquiries : Do you believe tlie Missouri Compromise, upon the plan of “an equal division of the territory,' to have been constitutional ? Do you believe that the Su preme Court of the United State is an unsafe tribunal to risk the rights of the South with ? Has liberty still its charms for you ? aud|would you like to see all of Adam’s race in its full enjoyment? and would you still oppose the annexation of Texas, if it were for the purpose of extending the area of slavery ? Do you still believe that the higher the tariff the lower the price of goods taxed ? Do you still believe the United States Bank constitutional ? Now, sir, if this will not suffice to show that in the past you have a record, that will not bear scrutiny or investigation ; before this canvass is closed, un less you meet the practical living issues now before the people, like a man, fairly ana squarely, 1 pledge myself to produce that record, to the satisfaction of every unprejudiced mind. Richmond. The Americas Horses in England — The Ame rican horses in England will have an abundant op portunity to wipe away the stigma of defeat that followed the Goodwood races as they are entered for ten engagements, singly or together, running up to October, the 29th. The first is the Champagne stakes, one mile heat, at the Brighton meeting, for which Lecompte and Prioress are entered with twenty other horses, the fiowerof the English turf. This race was run on the sth insL, and we shall hear in a few days how Lecompte behaved. On the 10th inst. Lecompte and Prioress run at Lewes, two mile race; on the 10th Prioress runs alone at York, a ei; gle dash of one mile ; again the latter at Here ford, on the *27th, two miles and a half. Both Prior and Prioress are entered at the same time and place for the Royal plate, terms, conditions, weights and distance the same exactly as for the Goodwood cup. The next engagement is for Prioiess for the Leam ington stakes. Septeml>er 2d, two miles, for which the best horses in England are entered. The follow. iug day the tnree American horses i un for the War wick cup, distance three miles. At the Doncaster meeting, Sept. 15th, Mr Tenßroeck has entered his three year oidcolt Babylon. At the Houghton meet ing, Oct. Prior and Lecompte enter for sweep stakes of SIOO each, half forfeit, with SSOO added, for a race over a track four miles, one furlong aud one hundred aud seventy-three yards. The last shows the speed and endurance of the horses, and is considered the best for the American racers, which have been trained to run greater distances the English horses usually run.— Brit.

This tree has but five branches—one oc cupying a central position ; the other four forming angles, five feet from the ground and extending in horizontal lines, giving the tree the appearance, from a distance, of a small hammock, with a large tree in the centre. Capt. K. s whole company—Bß men—dined under the shade of this tree, at noon, and hitched their horses to the limbs.— Florida Peninsular.

A Big Dividend.— The St. Louis Insurance Com pany of St. Louis, on Wednesday, declared a divi dend of fifteen percent out of the profits of the last quarter’s busmens Tlie TlHilary Revolt In India. The London News of August Ist compiles the following statement of the revolt in the Bengal ar my: The Siege of Delhi. —Delhi is still in posses mod of the insurgents. According to the latest au tbeutic accounts, which were to the lfith of June, Gen. Sir Harry Barnard was waiting for reinforce ments. Rumors of the capture of the ci y had in deed been communicated on two occasions to the Bombay government by their agent at Indore, but these rumors were not confirmed. The accounts we have of the opera!iou of Gen. Barnard’s force are extremely imperfect, but some facts are a>eertained. On the Bth of June, at 2 o’clock in the morning, he arrived at Delhi, when the rebels who were outside the city were attacked and driven from the position which they had occu pied. They fled into the town, aud the pursuit was so sharp that the gunners threw themselves off their Lories, and left the field pieces standing in the sand. “The heavy guns remained in position,” twenty six guns in all were c aptured, and. in addition, large quantities of ammunition and entrenching tools. The outposts were taken possession of. We regret to say that Col. Chester, Adjutant General, and Lieutenant j Russell, 54th, were among the killed Our loss was about 150, chiefly in the 75th Queen’s regime nt. The army at the latest date was encamp ing iu cantonments. A message from Maj. Lake at Jdllunder, comrihi nicating this information to Sir John Lawrence at Lahore adds: —“The mutineers had guns in battery round the flagstaff, but we outflanked them on both sides. One column of ours marched down the trunk road, and another through cantonments. We work away with heavy guns to-morrow. This has been a brilliant affair. The guns of the mutineers w ere very well served, aud the fire was very heavy. Gen. Reed arrived just as the columns moved off, but did not command on the occasion.” Our latest advices from Delhi are not encourag ing. Gen. Baruard was waiting reinforcements on the morning of the 17th, having repelled several sor ties with success, and inflicted severe ioss upon the rebels. Regarding the internal state of Delhi, our news is of an earlier date, and is contained in a letter to the Rajah of Jdllunder from some one iu the city. The Rajah placed the letter at the disposal of the deputy Commissioner of Jdllunder, Mr. Farrington, by whom it has been translated. The reports that the King of Delhi had consented to the wishes of the rebels are confirmed by this document, but it does not appeal* whether ins consent was forced or voluntary. The letter also states that the King had given up his son to the insurgents, that helms nominated a native magistrate, that he sbmmoned —the royal style—the principal men of De'hi to at tend him, but that they feigned sickness and refused The city is reported to be in a most distracted state and to have defied the efforts made by the King to Yes tore order. “The civilization of 58 years,” says the news writer, “has been destroyed in three hours, good men have been plundered, scoundrels enriched." The letter also furnishes a hint of the fearful atrocities which have been committed by the sepoys. “To-day,” says the writer, “some fifty odd Europeans who had secreted themselves have been killed, they (the sepoys) are huuting for more, and if any be found they jvill be killed.” When this letter was wrifteu there were six regiments, one battery of artillery, and 500 troopers inside the city. Since that time many other regiments have mutinied and marched to the rebel headquarters, so that their force must now be considerable. A news letters from the city of Delhi says strict orders have been issued by the King to the Hin dootance soldiery to slay all the Sikhs who may be met with ; even men who from their countenance may be supposed to be Punjabees, are to be slaugh tered. A Fakeer, called Sham Doss, endeavored to raise an insurrection in the territory of our ally the Rajah of Nabah, whose troops are with our army at Delhi. Major Marsdon, the Deputy Commissinor of Ferozeporo, proceeded against him with a wing of the 10th Light Calvary and two guns, and some ir regular levies of Furreedkoia and other places, at tacked aud dispersed his men, seized the Fakeer in a village in which he had made a stout defence, and hung him. The conduct and gallantry of the caval ry is highly applauded. Disarming or the Native Soldiers in and near Calcutta. —lt is stated that the sepoys of the 70th regiment at Barrackpore have refused all food, so acutely do they feel tlie disgrace of having their arms taken from them. About 120 men from that station went off at night on the 15th. It is be hoped they will be watched, and prevented from plundering. When tlie sepoy regiments at Barrackpore were disarmed, their lints were also searched for arms, and a large number of tulwars taken away. The arms found in the huts were not, however, all tul wars ; some ofihem were of the most murderous description, as for instance swords with serrated blades, two-handed swords, battle- axes, poniards, yataghans, and weapons of various other descrip tions, far more worthy of being called instruments of torture than arms which a true soldier would wield. The Bombay Times says : “The disarming of the troops at Calcutta, Barraekpore, and Mooltan was simply a measure of prudence called for unques tionably in the present emergency, ami probably hastened at the two former places by governmental intelligence which has not been made public. We simply know that the Ex-King of Oude is implicated in the business, and has been arrested by the gov eminent, and all his retainers, some 700 or 800 men, disarmed. A fakir who was sentenced to be hung in Calcutta for tampering with the troops, is said to have made the revelations which have led to this important conviction.” Mutiny at Benares. —There has been mutiny at Benares. It appears that it was at first reported to the authorities at that station the sepoys of the 37th Native Infantry had been more or less successful in their endeavors to tamper with the Sikhs. It was accordingly determined to disarm the 37th. On at tempting to carry out this resolve, the37th mutinied and were joined by the greater part of the Sikhs. The irregular Cavalry (13th) were ordered to act against, the mutineers, but they refused, and a great portion went, over and joined them. The artillery succeed in dispersing the revolters, who took the road to Allahabad. A letter gives the following ac count of the affair:— “Some of the 37th seized their arms and com menced firing at their officers. This appeared to be the signal, for the rest of the regiment then ran to the bells of arms ; the guns, however, began to pour in the grape so sharply upon them, that they were glad to t eat a retreat; only a few of the most deter mined rebels still kept up a tire from the right, wing at the officers. The Sikh regiment all this time re mained quiet on parade, passive spectators of the scene, but at this crisis they loaded, by order of Col. Gordon. An ominous change then came over them. The cavalry first turned, and then the Sikhs poured in a deliberate volley on the officers standing around, three of whom fell. The artillery in return gave them a shower of grape, which sent them tlying off parade. “ About 100 of the mutineers were killed, and 200 wounded; the rest bolted, throwing down their arms. The mutineers of the Sikh regiment tried to capture the guns, and were thrice repulsed, with great loss. Only a few men of the irregular caval ry and Sikh regiment stood firm ; all the rest rnut.i med; their discomfiture was complete, thanks to the bravery of 180 European soldiers, who defend ed the guns and charged and shot down the muti neers. Fight only, instead of -15 as reported, of these brave soldiers were killed and wounded. The lives of the civilians and their families who had ta ken refuge iu the collector’s cutchery, were saved by the presence and noble exertions of Soorut Singh, a Sikh prisoner. He it was who went among the Sikhs of the treasury guard and prevented them from rising after they hart heard how the men of the corps had been cut up, and by his influence they were kept at their post until next, morning, when the treasure was removed to cantonments uuder an an escort of Europeans. The portion of the Sikh corps over the treasury remained st aunch.” The following is from Benares, dated 16th June : “ Thank heaven there is one man of nerve here not afraid to hang a few rascals every evening. I saw’a Sikh hung yesterday for shooting at a non commissioned officer. A gallows si auds in front of the Main Guard, from whence the culprit is led at the appointed hour, the guards uuder arms, and a grave dug on the tiank. No useless parades or prancing, station, stuff, pomp, &.C. Benares is ours, and likely to remain so, thanks to our brave troops. There is no excitement here; confidence is estab lished, and martial law carried out. I suppose from the position this will be chosen for the formation ot a large force ; we hold still the fort of Allahabad.— The natives about seem very anxious to circulate unfavorable reports. All the 841 h will be here to morrow, except the last detachment detained at Shergotty.” Allahabad. —At Allahabad the mutiny broke out on the 4th of June, when the “loyal” <>th Regi ment, which had volunteered to proceed to Delhi against the rebels only a few days before, became the assassins of their own officers, and then marched off to join the mutineers, after burning the church aud every bungalow in the place, and looting the treasury. The Irregular Cavalry and Ferozepore regiments, remained loyal, the f«»rt garrisoned by European troops was safe. No Europeans, how ever, remained outside the walls of the fort. Mr. Archer, the Commissioner’s heal clerk, was e only person saved out of his and his brother’s family. Shajeehanpore. —The outbreak at Shajeehau pore seems also to have been very bloody, and cha racterized by circumstances of peculiar atrocity. It said to have occurred on the evening of Sunday, the Bth of June, during divine service, when the church was surrounded, and every man, woman and child murdered, a detachment of t'ae mutineers be ing told off to fire the cantonment and slay the peo ple in the bungalows. Caw spore.— -Concerning the mutiny at Cawn pore, we are in much uncertainty. Part of Her Majesty’s 10th Regiment and a battery of European artillery were fortunately on the spot, and a repeti tion of tragedies at Bareilly and Shajeehanpore pre vented. There seems, however, to have been seve ral days’ fighting, but the mutineers were eventually driven out of the place. Many on our side are said to have fallen. Gwalior. —At Jhansi, near Gwalior, on the Bom bay side, the left wing of the 12th native Infantry, a detachment of native foot artillery, and the 11th Irregulars, rose aud murdered all the Christians ; but four escaped, and they are now iu Agra. Our ladies and children had taken refuge in the fort, they were, however, overpowered and sacrificed by the villains. Mr. Raikes, one of the judges of the Sudder Adawlut, with much exertion and a vast ex pense in which others joined, raised a non-military party ot some fiO Europeans mounted ; with these he hastened to the aid of some ladies who had collect ed at Etawah. He returned with his charge all safe. How I envied him. The ladies of Gwalio and the officers of the Contingent have all reached Agra. The Marshal protected our ladies aud our officers. The soldiers of the Gwalior Contingent demanded that their officers should be delivered up to them, in order that they might murder them ; but the Ma haraj would not do so, aud these dear irregulars were disappointed. Jullundur. —On the night of the Bth a portion of the uative troops at Jullundur broke out, and after wounding a few persons and losing twelve of their own number, made off in the direction of Phillore, crossing the Sutlej, it would appear a few miles above that place. They have been pursued by a squadron of cavalry, some European Foot and guns, and a body of horsemen belonging to the Al~ lowall&h ltaiah. The latest intelligence received is, that this force was about to cross the river in pur suit. The Sikhs belonging to each corps, beside others, of which the number is not yet correctly known, have remained staunch. The Native Troop of Artillery behaved through out in the most admirable manner, tiring on Uie mutineers and maintaining unflinching fidelity. The Allowalla chief renderedmost cordial assistance. The bulk of the treasure has been brought offiu safe ty by the native guard.-: which were in charge of it. Forty of the 12U mutineers of the 55th Native In fantry were to be executed at Peshawur on the 13th. The 64th Native infantry had been ordered in by forced marches to witness the execution. Nusseerarad. —At Nusseerabad the mutiny broke on the 2fith May, and commenced with the Bth and Light Companies of the 15th, who seized the guns and retamed possession of them though the cavalry made several charges. The cavalry lost *2 officers killed and 2L wounded. The 30th soon joined in the mutiny. Alltlie ladies escaped to Beawr. The mutineers, having expelled their officers and the English proceeded toward BLurtpore, aud on the 9th June were supposed to be three stages from Bhart pore, having abandoned the guns two or three days previously. Azimgurh. —The mutiny of the 17th Native In fantry at Azimgurh, broke out on the 3d between 9 an<l 10. The Europeans on the first alarm repair ed to a sort of fortified incloeure, but the guard on duty there refused to fight against their mutinous brethren. Lieut. Hutchison went forward to try and bring the mutineers to their duty, when he was shot by them The quartermaster sergeant of the regiment was also killed. Most of the other Euro peans, including the ladies and children, escaped to Ghazeepore. Major Burrouglis, commanding the I7th. aud some other officers, are missing. A tiea sure of ten lakhs of rupees was in charge of a small party of Irregular Cavalry at Azimgurh, and Mr. Ilorue. C. S.. has left Ghazeepore with 50 sowars to try aud save it. Bareilly. —The mutiny at Bareilly seems to have been a very tragic unair. All the bungalows are burnt to tlie ground, and we are in uncertuiutv up to this time, of the fate of forty Europeans known to have been there, of whom nearly one half werewomen and children. Bhurtpooß —The mutiny of the Bhurtpoor lev ies. under the command of Captain Nixon, and that' of the Malwa Contingent of Meh id pore, have come to supplement our difficulties. The former troops were supposed to be actuated by the best feeling toward us. forming part of the body guard to his highness the Maharajah of Gwalier. “Immediately the news of the Neemueh disturb ances reached Captain Nixon, he set out with the Bhurtpoore Levies, accompanied by Captain Gore Munbee, of the Bombay Engineers, who, though senior iu army rank to Captain Nixon, waived all etiquette in the matter, and placed himself under that officer's command. They had only proceeded a couple or three marches, when the men refused to be taken against the mutinous Bengal Sepoys, aud *et the authority of Captains Nixon and Munbee at defiance. These officers had to fly for their lives, aud in doing so passed through districts where they w ere frequently fired upon by the insurgents, and after many hair-breadth escapes, were fortunate enough to get safely to Buurtpore, where they now' are, neither of them having, we rejoice to say, sus tained any injury. ’ The infantry* and artillery of the Malwa contin gent are said to have remained loyal, the cavalry mutinying on the march to Neemueh, and mur dering their officers, Lieutenants Brodie and Hunt. Dacc a. —Letters from Dacca, of June 18th state tiiat great alarm prevails there, in consequence of the expected rising of the rabble, and the miscon duct of tlie sepoys of the 73d Native Infantry, who refused to allow the artillery officer to take arms from the magazine for the defeuce of the city. Hyderabad. —The tide of revolt appears to have reached the city of Hyderabad. Placards were posted all over the city ou the 12th of June, signed by certain Moulavies, calling upon the faithful to enrol themselves, and murder the Feringhees . aud at live in the evening three guns from the Horse Artillery, with a detachment of the Cavalry Con tingent, went down to the residency. Each regi ment had a company under arms at their barracks at night, which,'however, passed without any alarm. The crisis is a dangerous one, and the grand display made at that station by having the whole force out in lull marching order, with forty rounds of ammu nition per ip fan try man, and a field service comple ment for the artillery is considered to have caused great uneasiness both there and in the city. It is also thought that the Madras government had committed a very grave error in sending the Ist Native Infantry to Secunderabad. Then; was a grand display ou the morning of the 15th ; all the troops, including the Ist, assembled for brigade ex ercise with blunt ammunition; the Resident was present, aud ou the conclusion of the parade he rode up to the 7th Cavalry, and told them it had been reported to him that in the event of a distur bance they had declared to join the city people.— He added that he did not believe this report, but that he considered it his duty to inform them of what he had heard, and left them to settle the same with their officers. A Fakeer from Bowenpilly had beeu apprehended and heavily ironed ; a Lascar had also been discovered but particulars regarding him have not yet reached us. Neemuch.—A letter from an officer who escaped from this place t-o Odypore, gives the following ac count ol what happened at Neemuch : On tjie night of the 3d of June, about. 11, the can tonment was aroused by the report of one of the guns,on which several bungalows broke into flames. (>ue wing of the Gwalior corps, under Macdonald, was iu the fort; the other, under Rose, in the va cant hospitals. On the alarm, Rose attempted to get his wing into the fort, but the meu refused to go ;.aud one fellow fired his musket point blank at Rose’s head, but fortunately missed him. After some delay, Macdonald came down and got the left wing into the fort; they then made some show of defence, but said, “If guns are brought against us we must give in.” Shortly after, a trooper rode down, and told them to be ready aud join them.— • At length, the meu told Macdonald and Rose to be oil', otherwise their lives would be taken by the cavalry. On this, Macdonald, Rose, the adjutant., (name unknown) and Dumfort, made a bolt to Daroo, and on the way they were joined by the artillery offl cers. Coates, all the cavalry officers, and several others, in all about, fifteen sahibs and five women.— The cavalry men were the worst of the mutineers, and spared no Europeans that came across them.— The mutineers created Shaik Alii subadar of the first cavalry, brigadier of the station, who issuediin mediate orders in the name of the King of Delhi, and distributed the treasure among the sepoys.— Everything w’as done iu form ; a big tent, with a tlag Hying before it, was made the headquarters of the brigadier, who appointed the several subadars and jemadars, colonels and majors respectively. A Mussulman subadar, Shaik Kasin, commands the 7th Gwaliors. Lloyd had received a report that, an agent from Scindah had been tampering with the troops, and that it is Gwaliors intention to set up a Raj at Neeiauch. Macdonald attempted to take away with him ? his colors, but they were snatched out. of his hand. Ab bott, on the afternoon of the 2d, at tempted to snmjhao the cavalry, that as they had sworn to be faithful, they ought to regard their oaths when they broke out with “ why did you break faith at Lahore and again in Oude, and now you want to take away our religion, but you shan’t.” I have neither space nor time to give you all the details told me, but he says that of all the bloody disasters that have ta ken place, the Neemuch one exceeds all in cruelty. Those houses and t.h ngH that would not. burn they destroyed with hatchets. Old Pestonjee they blew away from a gun, and it. is believed ' they treated some European women the same way ; they have all gone up towards Delhi and Showers is too late for them. Take my advice, disarm the cavalry at your station, and let slip Übliy Singh’s men and the J{heels at them ; shoot them down like inad dogs or they will take you unawares, and then God help you. Don't be mistakingly merciful; d< dares that the cavalry are sworn to murder all Europeans. Proclamation to the Sepoys ok the Punjaub. —The following proclamation has been issued by Sir John Lawrence to the Sepoys in the Punjaub : Sepoys—You will have heard that many Sepoys and Sowars of the Bengal Army have proved faith less to their salt at Meerut, at Delhi, and at Fereae pore. Many at, the latter place have beeu already punished. An army lias been assembled, and is now dose to Delhi, prepared to punish the muti neers and irsurgent* who have collected there. Sepoys, I warn and advise you to prove faithful to your salt. Faithful to the government who has give . your forefatners and you service for the last hundred years. Faithful to that government who both in cantonments and in the field has been care ful of your welfare and interests; and who in your old age, has given you the means of living comfort ably in your homes. Those who have studied his tory know well that no army has ever been more kindly treated than that of India. Those regiments which now remain faithful will receive the rewards due to their constancy. Those soldiers who fall away now will lose their service forever. It will be too late to lament hereafter, when the time has passed by. Now is the opportunity of proving your loyalty and good faith. The British Government will never want for native soldiers. In a mouth it might raise 50,000 in the Punjaub alone. If the “Poorbea” sepoy neglect the present day, it will never return. There is ample force iu the Pun jaub to crush all mutineers. The chiefs aud people are loyal and obedient, and the latter only long to take your place in the army—all will unite to crush them. Moreover, the Sepoy can have no concep tions of the power of England, Already, from eve ry quarter, English soldiers are pouring into India. You know well enough that the British Government have never interfered with your religion. Those who tell you the contrary, say it for their own base purposes. The Hindoo temple and the Mahommcdan mosque have both beeu respected by the English government. It. was but the other day that the Juinmii Mosque at Lahore, which had cost lakhs of rupees, and which the Sikhs had converted into a magazine, was restored to the Mahoinme dans. Sepoys, my advice is that you obey your officers, seize all those among yourselves who en deavor to mislead you. Let not a few bad men be the cause of your disgrace. If you have the will you can easily do this, and the Government will consider it as a test of your fidelity. Prove by your conduct that the loyalty of the Sepoy of Hin doston has not degenerated from that of his ances tors. Lawrence. ■ Slave. Catchers at Chatham.—Yesterday two Southerners, viz: —John W. Wells, Lynchburg, Va., and T. G. James, Nashville, Tenn., as written upon the Hotel Register book, arrived at Chatham aud put up at Mr. Pritchard’s Royal Exchange.— The object of the visit of these personages was to recover the body of a smart colored lad, named “Joseph Alexander,” aged about 20. As soon as this tact became known, a large party of colored persons, among whom was the identical Joe, well dressed from top to toe, assembled in front of the Hotel, but nothing disorderly occurred. In conver sation with Mr. James, who professed to own the boy, we are told that “Joe” escaped from him for Canada some time in May last—that he was a “good boy,” bat almost too “big” and “saucy.” The master told us that he had “never whipped Joe” but once, aud then because he got drunk, and impudent, and allowed a span of horses to run away and break a carriage all to smash, when, said James, “1 did take a strap and whip him right smart, but it was nothing more than lie deserved.” Joe recognized his old master, and asked him quiz ingly, when he was going to leave Chatham, James told him “at noon.” Joe said “I’ll be at the depot, and go on with you.” We learned that James is Well’s uncle, and that both are extensive slave dealers in New Orleans, their “pen” being in rear ot the famous Bt. Charles Hotel. The firm of James <&. Co. is said to be worth upwards of $3,000,000, aud the “pen” is one of the largest in the Union, containing for sale on an ave rage about 500 negroes, good, bad, and indifferent. Agents of James for the buying of slaves, are em ployed in all the Southern States. Before leaving Chatham, James offered “Joe” SIOO if he would go down to Windsor; but the latter informed us that he had rather not be in the old man s company, es pecially out of a crowd; for, says Joe, “I ajp posi tive from what I know of him. that as soon as he got me out he would shoot me dead, and then leave me, for he would just as soon shoot a man as a black squirrel, and a wnite man as a black man ; and his nephew is just like him.” This being the case, we don't blame Joe much for not going.— Chatham ( Canada) Planet, Aug. 5. ANf.w and Alarming Doctrine.— Tliere is a Judge in Washington by the name of Crawford, who has enunciated a new and startling doctrine on the subject of the rights of native and adopted citi zens. H*f maintains that if there is any difference between these two classes of citizens, it is in favor of the naturalized class. Here is his language: “A naturalized citizen has a right to his vote as much,” said Judge Crawford, “as you or I, or any other native, and that right must be fully respected. Is it not prepostery,' continued the Judge, “to re f&se a citizen his right of suffrage because he was bom in England, or Ireland or Germany. If there be any difference—as in fact tliere is not, and ought not to be in reason nor in law —the difference i* in their favor, for they have made this country flair own, by adoption, tty rot untar y choice ; whilst we had no rhoice, for we were horn here.” Commenting npon this the Lynchburg Virginian has the following: “Here we have most sublime doctrine! The dif ference, if auy, is in favor of the foreigner—for he came here from choice, while we are here because we couldn't help it! “The difference being in favor of the foreigner wc would suggest that oar Constitutions, State and Federal, be so amended as to permit none but for eigners to hold office. If the difference is in their favor, there can be no objection, of course, to ma king this difference applicable to offices, as well as t unrage. “How many of these foreigners, before coming here, supposed that they had greater rights here than the native bom f How many of them even supposed that they would be entitled to the right of suffrage at all 7 Notone, we venture to sav in a thousand.”— Richmond Whig, Costly Diamond Found in Illinois.— One of the workmen eugaged in boring an ariesian well in Stryker, a village on the Air Line Railroad, about 90 miles from Toledo, found a pure diamond last week at a depth of about 110 feet. The diamond is of the size ot an ordinary marble, and competent judges say it is worth at least $2,000. Its lucky finder, a poor, honest Irishman, named Michael Sheh&n, no doubt believes he “was bom to good luck.” From the Ijondon Times. July 31. Goo«Dvood Rarer*. Thursday, July 30.

Ftmn Bell's Life in Lon,Lae, Aug. 2. The American Horses and their Rider When the competitors came on to the cmn>the Americans of course were the “lions,’’and t h sp.-« tators anxiously crowded round whilst they under went the operation of saddling. Pryor, who was led by a tall intelligent-looking negro, is a remarks, bly handsome chesnut with two white fed and a blaze of white in his face; he st and fifteen hands, has brilliant act ion, and is said to possess wonderlu! powers of endurance. His appearance, however, betrayed great want of condition, and the owner in formed us that the horse was “ho badly off” be.fore leaving his training quarters at Stockbridge, that he should not, have started him but for the improve ment be daily exhibited after his arrival at Good wood on the previous Sat u day. Prioress is altoge ther a different looking animal, being fully sixteen hands high, and rather leggy, with a good forehand, and immense hips, which somewhat redeem her shabby loins. She looked fitter to run than her companion, and her appearance did honor to Mr. R. 1). Palmer, her trainer, who at one time lived in a similar capacity with the late Mr. John C. Stevens, the head of the American Turf in his day, for whom he was very successful with the celebrated Black Maria, and other horses, which he “handled’ on Long Island.- Mr. Ten Broeck’s “turn out” was in every respect a national one, his jockeys being Americans, who wore the colors of the Stal es—crimson and white striped jackets and blue caps. The toilette ofb'dh men was unexceptionable, though in England Lit tlefield’s high military heels seemed as strange on a ockey as Gilpatrick’s genuine Yankee beard. The latter, who came over with a special retainer to ride in the Cup, is considered the best rider in America, we believe, and to his charge was entrusted Prior ess, albeit Mr. Ten Broeck declared to win will* the horse. The Americans adopt altogether a different style of riding to that of our own jockeys. The formei sit down on their horses all the wap, as if riding ;» trotting match, always have a “hard pull” on, and never shake or “roll” them at the finish of a race,, consequently, as was the case on this occasion, ninety nine spectators out of a hundred might nut u rally imagine from the absence of all movement of the arms that the riders were “roping!” All sorts o-frumors were afloat that the Yankees had tried to beat the best time ever known in England, hut it was tout auconlraire —the trial “came oi’etrabbs,’ inasmuch as a two year old, which joined in with the cup nags at the end of a mile and a half t o finish the last mile with them, won by an i ninense dis tance, and was in turn “beaten into fits" by a two year old in the Danebury stable. This result of course weakened their owner’s con fidence considerably, but from the improvement his horses exhibited after their arrival at Good wood, aud satisfiedjof their real form in America Mr. Ten Broeck and his friends, as well as all the Americans who visited the meeting, supported Pryor and Prioress with considerably spirit, and beside backing them to win between £9,000 and £IO,(MM), Mr. T. B. plucklly made a £2,(MM) book on the race! Among Englishmen they Imd very few supporters, though everybody admitted them to be “good looking” and ‘ fine goers !” The race wc run at a wretched pace; throughout, tier two miles and a half occupying sm. lfisec ,27 sec. slower than last years. Americans ran much better t han was expected of them—in fact, our opiuion strengthened by that or many of the jockeys who rode therein, is that it was quite upon the cards lor Prioress lo have won. She lost a great deal ot ground at all the turns, but looked so “dangerous” even up to the distance that under such disadvantages it is by no means impro bable, it skillfully handled, she might have obtained a much more prominent position at the finish. Mi Ten Broeck, we believe, was greatly dissatisfied with the riding of Gilpatrick, who seemed to be all abroad. He “squared accounts” with the jockey next morning, aud the latter’s next mouut, we take, will be in Aiqerica. Both horses are certain of “see ing a better day,” for the manner iu which Pryor st ruggled to the end is a proof that no journey is too long for him; aud we must do brother Jonathan tier justice to state that lie was by no means so disgraced as his opponents reckoned upon.

He say-t.hal there were fourteen passengers ami a < lew ol eleven on board, but the passenger list. Inns gone down with the propeller, and there is no means at hard to obtain the names. The propeller was three years old, a staunch boat valued at $22,500, and owned by a company. Mr. J. N. Harris, from whom the boat was named, owned a fourth and he (Capt. Smith,) had $2,250 invested in her. She was insured against fire, but there was no marine risk on her. She had a valua ble cargo of merchandise consigned to different par ties in New London, and probably uninsured. Tlie cargo consisted chiefly of provisions, groceries, dry goods, and some 40 tons of pig, chain ami bar iron. “The Metropolis struck us just, forward of the pilot house, and probably cut completely through.

There were no dry eyes in that cabin. Afterwards the captain said to our reporter; “She was a beautiful girl, only 18 years old.

About five min utes before 2 o’clock, between Falkland Island and New r Haven, the pilot saw a vessel about a point anda half on the starboard bow, which he supposed to be a schooner. She showed a very little light, aft, but no head light at all. She was goiug east half southwest, and we were in the exactly opposite course. When steamers meet, head to head, the rule is for both to part their helms to port and pass to the right, hut sailing vessels we must give their course. So, supposing this vessel to be a schooner on a tree wind, our pilot kept off* to the left, trying to pass on the south Bide, but she saw that wo were a steamer, and trying to pass to the right brought ua inevitably in collision. The bell was rung to atop the engines, but in about a minute we struck between her masts. I had got up and got. to the window when she struck. The foremast went on our larboard bow and the mainmast, on the starboard bow. Wo were proba bly running at the rate of iii miles an hour, and must have cut her through. It was bright afar light, a litt.ie haze in the water, but if there t ad been head iigliis we could have seen them 1 think the engines were reversed, but am not positive. The collision did not shake our boat much—persona alt m.glil not have been awakened by it. The only damage to tla; Metropolis is the loss of her cutwater. She does not leak a drop on account of it, and we shall run ba> kto Fall River to-night. The live-oak stem is scarcely scratched, but we may have logo outlie ways, when it is convenient, because the cutwater is carried away under water. A H er t he accident there was some confusion about geiting the boats over, but we had a little dickey boat in the water in about, two minutes, and two others in about five minutes more. The crew threw ropes to the propeller, and saved all they could in that way. and I lie passengers threw over life-preser vers, and whatever else would float. We have ten boats on board. We could hear men crying and struggling in the water the moment we struck. We haul --I m three men over the bows. One saved himself in the wheel; and Capt. Smith clung to the bm • The propeller sunk in about sixteen fathoms of water. AU cr this we laid to till daylight, and did not lose 1 iii! ground, v, e could see the “slick” on the water caused by the oil on the propeller. We had hopes ot finding somebody floating on bales or boxes, but none wore to be seen. Dim mon the Metropolis.-— Among the pas sengers on the Metropolis was Mr. George Tappan, a merchant of New Bedford, and a man of consul* r able property. Me has been subject to tits, and on hia way with his wife to visit the South for his health. When the disaster occurred he was very much exceed, and, while making some inquiries lie fell back in an apopletic fit and expired almost in stantly. Incidents, &c. —Among the thrilling and heart vending incidents connected with the disaster, a passenger relates the following : A woman was seen struggling in the water, sup porting her infant child in her arms—a rope was thrown to her, which fell within her reach, and whe might have seized and saved herself, by relin quishing her hold upon the child. She looked up saw the rope, saw those who would have given al most, their own hold upon life to save hers, then pressed her child to her breast and sank forever. These we.e the only persons seen in the water that were not saved; ail the others appear to have gone down in the propeller. The husband of the woman was among the lost. An old man, 74 years old, who could not swim, got. upon a plank and was saved hy one of the boats. Mis name is Daniel Ayres. The clerk of the boat heard that hia wife waa sick and went to New London yesterday hi the steamer Connecticut, by v\ hieli iheana his life was probably saved, lie is supposed to have the freight list in hia possession. Capt. Smith has a Wife and infant child in New London. The child is the last remaining of nine children. About two years ago the J. N. Harris ran aground on Norwalk reef. She was then commanded by Jonathan Smith, Leonard Smith’s father, who died in consequence of over exertion on that occasion.

Chinese Customs—'Thk Antipodes of English. —The very strikirg contrarieties in comparison with our own, are amusingly given in the following ex tract from a w«»rk published at M acao : “ On inquiring of a boatman in which direction Macao lay, I was answered in the West north, the wind, as 1 was informed, being East-south.

Imliiui News* We have been kindly permitted to make the fol lowing extracts from a private letter from Capt. J. h*. Micklerto Lieut. Canova, in relation to the In dian news we published last week ; which will, we doubt not, prove of interest to all our readers : . Fort Myers, July 26,1857. Dear U.: —l embrace this opportunity to advise you ot my success in capturing a party of Indians, which doubtless you wifi have heard of ere receipt ol Mms. On the 2d inst. 1 reported my company ready for duty at Tampa, and on the 3d I took my departure for Fort Kissimee, where I arrived in safety. On the 12th, I descended the River iu boats to Lake Okechobee, and (established a station on the Northern shore of said Lake. On the 15th l started ou a scout wth 30 men, ieaving the residue of my command at the station . on the evening cf the same day, we returned to sta tion having met with no success, either in seeing Indians or their signs. On the 17th 1 started again with tiie same number of men to examine the Saw Grass Plains east of the Kissimee river, shoving <*ur boats as far as wo could get them, I then climb ed up a tree and discovered several small islands in the Saw Grass; selecting one of the most prominent ones, I started with 25 of the men, (leaving the other six to guard the boats.) On approaching the island we could hoar w ood chopping, thereupon di vided my men into two squads, surrounded the is land and ordered a charge, which was promptly obeyed, and crowned with great success, capturing fifteen (15) Indiaus, six squaws and nine children, three of which 1 captured myself, running like wild horses through the Saw' Grass. Collected them all together and started back towards the boats, and before arriving heard the report of a gun in the di rection we wore moving, together with loud yells, which caused us to anticipate an attack every mo ment, they however, were but merely moving from us, as it proved. Upon arriving at the Boats, one warrior was seen by the guard aiming for his boat, whereupon three of the men started in pursuit of him, and but for the accidental discharge of one of their own guus, which inflicted a llesh wound on one of my own men, wrould have captured him. After securing the prisoners, I returned to the Island with live men and burnt their camps, Ac, and then started for this place where I arrived in safety ou tlie22d inst., and obtained a check for $3,000 to be divided among my men. 1 leave again for the same neighborhood ou tomorrow’ morning. Your Brother, Jacoii E. Micklf.k. A Pkrm.ous Ascknsion at Troy. —Professor Ma rion made his t hirty-fourth ascension from Troy, N. Y., on the Bth instant, under circumstances so hazardous and with a result so peculiar as to place it among the most remarkable events in the history of ballooning, fraught as it is with thrilling|advcn tures. The Troy Tunes states that the ascension took place from a lot near North Baptist church, and that a lady accompanied the aeronaut, to the height of about forty feet. The ascensive power, however, not being sullicient for the weight of the two passengers, tin* balloon rapidly descended, and the lady was left ou In ra firma. The account of t.he second ascent, is then described by the Times as follows: Getting off again, he ascended quite rapidly, but was earned by the current of air upon which lie struck rapidly toward the church spire. When his attention was turned from the crowd, lie found to his astonishment, that he was within twenty feet of the church, and going toward it at, a dangerous rate of speed. To clear himself he immediately grasped a bag of ballast and threw it outside. In descend ing, this passed w ithin some two feet of the head of a lady who was looking out the window of an ad joining building, made a clean hole through a grape arbor, and broke a board in a back stoop by its weight. After throwing out the ballast, the balloon ist, ascended very fast, but, it soon became painfully apparent to the auxoius crowd below that a collision with the church spire was inevitable. This soon occurred. The balloon, which was then going at a rap.id speed, came in contact, with the lightning-rod at the apex, with a blow similar to that, of a vessel surging at a high rat eof speed against a rock. The concussion was terrible. The Professor, who had anticipated the shock, braced himself in the car, ami anxiously awaited the result. After swaying to and fro an instant, the balloon caught, apparently, in a bolt connecting the rod with the spire, and tore, with a sound wliich was distinctly heard from the earth. The rent was be tween ten and twelve feet in length, leaving a mon strous aperture, through which the gas rushed with a sound like that of the wind. A thrill of horror ran through the crowd below, accompanied by exclanm lions indicative of the general belief that the death of the jeronout. was inevitable. But, not.withstand ing the hazardous situation in which he was placed, he maintained the most perfect self-possession uni! equanimity. The balloon hung suspended oy the spire for a moment, the gas meanwhile escaping at a fearful rate, and with a sound which to a man possessed of only ordinary nerve, would haveseom ed a sentence of death. Tflen, disengaging itself, it rose slowly and with a vascillatiug motion, caused by the collapse, until it had reached an altitude of five hundred feet. It then descended rapidly again. To retard this momentum another bag of ballast was thrown out, and the effect was to cause a se cond ascension. The balloon arose swiftly and gracefully, us though the power which carried it up was not constantly being lost. If anything could have allayed the anxious excitement of the crowd, it would have been the apparent indifference of the Professor to the terrible danger of his situation.— When in an altitude ot a thousand feet he leaned forward from the ear and waved his hat to the crowd below. 'l'lie gas rushing out at the rate of over a thousand feet a minute, the balloon soou lost its as censive power, aud when near the State dam began to descend at the rate of twenty feet a second. The danger of descending in the river became immi nent, but. by leaning over in the car and carrying the weight on one side this waa avoided, and the de scent was made upon the dock, within twenty feet of the water. The concussion upon striking the ground was very great, the car rebounding a dis tance of three or four feet, aud then urifi ing towards the river. A number of persons who were present prevented it from going into the water by seizing the net ropes and holding it with strong hands. The result of the pulling and pressure of the escaping gas was a collapse of the balloon from top to hot tom. The danger was over—the Professor had com pleted an ascension which, we venture to assert, was as hazardous as any ever made by an icron&ut who escaped from his adventures with life and limb. The scenes during and immediately succeeding the accident beggars description. When the bal loon struck the spire there was a general exclama tion of horror, and hundreds averted their heads, expecting that the ieronaut would be dashed to pieces on the instant. Alter the spire had been clear ed the crowd rushed forward frantically—men, women and children—anticipating that , at the farth est, the balloon would descend below fioosick street, and that the death of Mr. Marion was inevitable.— They were happily disappointed, as we have seen. While the Professor was packing his disabled bal loon at leaaf two thousand persons had arrived in the neighborhood, who followed him in a crowd down to the city. It was a scene of the wildest ex citement, as it had been before of the most, thrilling anxiety. Alleged Cruel Punishment in the Army.— The Lawrence, Kansas, correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat narrates the following case of ex cessive punishment in the army: An incident occurred last year at Fort Pierce, which possibly has never come before the public 1 have reliable information that a private in the ar my at that place, some time last summer, commit ted some trilling offence against the military digni taries, for which he was court-martialed and sen tenced to receive fifty lashes. The sentence was executed with great, severity, so much so that, the soldier died in tue operation or soon afterwards Another member of the army at that place bad been accustomed for years to write for Southern journals, and at this time he made a note of the incident, in which he rather intimated that the officers were cul pable for being so severe in the execut ion of law as to cause death. For this, and this ouly, the writer was arraigned before a court-martial and sentenced to receive thirty, or silty lashes—to have one-half of his head shaved, ami to wear the bull and chain for one year ; and the poor man is now at, Fort, Kiley suffering the last part of the sentence. This is the statement as l have it, and I believe it to be correct in all essentials. The names I could furnish if nec essary. Mail Rohijeiiy Near Centreville.— I The mail from Easton (Md.) for the Wilmington distribution, including many letters for Baltimore, wus found in the woods near Centreville, Md., on Tuesday morn ing last. The mail was the one which left Easton on the Bth instant. The mail-carrier between Easton and Greensboro’, it isallegd, was introxicated. and did not miss the mail until he arrived at the latter place on the following day, when Mr. Woodward, the conductor, hastened to Easton in search ot it. It, was, however, found by Mr. Joseph Share, of Balti more, who was on a visit to Centreville, and at the time of its discovery was in the woods looking for berries. Most of the letters were rifled of their contents. A large amount of checks was found on the ground. The mail contained packages for New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Rich mond, Aunapolis, and several other points in Mary land. The Easton Bank had determined to send $15,000 to Baltimore that day ; but from some slight, cause the cashier deferred it, and thereby saved the money. Mr. Share handed the whole mass over to Mr. T. J. Keating, assistant postmaster at. Centre ville, who holds the packages for futher orders.— bait. Sun. High Water in the Lake.—The water of Lake Michigan is now said to be higl»er than it lias beeu ever known since 1838, when the rise was so great tvs to kill trees over one hundred years old. The level now is but fourteen inches below that of 1838. The fact is not in accordance with the supposed pe riodical rise and fall known as the seven years theo ry. The mouths of the completed city sewers are half filled with water, which demonstrates that they have not been constructed too high. A heavy north • ast blow, raising the water a foot and a half high er, might do considerable damage to goods stored in many of the cellars of the city — Chicago Time*.
