Selma, October 1.—The Democratic State mass meeting held to-day was more numer ously attended than any other meeting ever held in the State. The attendance is esti mated at twenty thousand, of whom three thousand were negroes. All of the counties in middle Alabama were represented, the most of them by clubs. The procession was two miles long. Speeches were made by Gen. Clanton, Gov. Watts, Jr W. Taylor, H. A. Herbert, Gov. Winston and C. W. Lee. The speeches were till earnest And loyaL Gov. Watts' eloquent apostrophe' to the na tional fiag was more loudly cheered than any other remarks. The torch-light procession to-night is a magnificent affair.

These are useful institutions if pro perly conducted, and it is well that they should be sustained, ■ but the Legislature ought always to take into consideration the character and standing of those who have them in charge before granting them char ters. No doubt it has done so in this case. In the House a bill to authorize Ordinaries to hear and determine habeas corpus cases; also to make two years’ wilful desertion on the part of either peaty married, a good cause ~ for divorce; afid to extend the time allowed for the redemption of land sold for taxes to two years, was passed.

Philadelphia, September 28.—A special Washington dispatch to the Bulletin says: “Advices through army sources at Marshall, Texas, say that the country in that neigh borhood is overrun by Tobbers; that all roads are unsafe, except for considerable armed bodies, and that a freebooter roams the country with over one hundred and ten men well mounted and armed.

The commanding officer at Sulphur Springs, Texas, which is garrisoned by a small com pany of the 26th Infantry,, has sent an express’ to General Hayden,' commanding at Marshall,’ stating that if not reinforced, the garrison, which was surrounded, would be slaughtered.

To meet the $475,959,202 23- of expendi tures for 1868-'9, we shall (Mr. Delmar says) give the following receipts: iBegisters’s Receipts. customs. $150,000,000 Internal Revenue. 122,120,000 Public Lands 1,000,000 Direct Tax..: 1,500,000 Miscellaneous (excluding gold prem.) 5,000,000 $219,620,000 ... 42,000,000 i Receipts Total $321,620,0(0 Thus if the Treasury endeavors to meet its current expenditures this year (to say noth ing 6f matured claims deferred, *or of the postoffice deficiency,) it will show a deficit of $15^339,202-25 at the end of the year, tobe obtained from increased taxes or loons. Mr. Delmar closes bis lengthy exhibit with the following remarks: “The reconstruction measures and tenure- of-office law are the main cause of all the ex travagant expenditures which, under econom ical management, I think could be diminish ed within a year to $200,000,000 per annum, including gold interest on the public debt. Without a total change of policy, however, such retrenchment is impossible. A continu ance of present measures means a continued heavy expenditure, and this can only be met by increasing the public debt. Hr. Delmar’s — Excitement in force him. Negro Suffrage.—The Washington cor respondent of the Baltimore Gazette, says : “A prominent®ew York politician arrived here this morning after a visit to several of the Southern States, where be had been for the purpose of consulting the leading men. on the future political policy ofthose States. He bore letters from. Gov. Seymour and Gen- Rosecrans, both of whom approved the’ob ject of his mission. In Virginia he had a conversrtion with Gen. Lee, and also with the members of the State Executive Com mittee, which may possibly lead to the pub lication, in a fe w days, of a circular letter ad dressed to the Democratic voters of thJt State on the subject of negro suffrage.” The Philadelphia Press, one of Forney’s papers says : “The new Senator elect,' Dr. Miller, of Georgia, claimed for Seymour a few weeks ago, is now set down for Grant, on the au thority of Joshua Hill, his Republican col league.” We presume it is hardly necessary to cor rect anything coming from Forney. Never theless, we know that iu the foregoing para graph Dr. Miller has been misrepresented, and we have good reason to believe the same is true with reference to Hon.

The past fiis- tory of Spain is an attestation of the sterling virtues of her people, which, however she may be depressed for the present, invests with unusual interest every struggle she makes for liberal and-materinl progress. Can England itself, show such a record of vitality of race, and of stubborn and eventually sue- .- cessful resistance to foreign invasion as Spain * can exhibit? Farfromit. England was suc cessively overrun by Danes, Saxons, Normans; but Spain, invaded by the Moors in 711; de spoiled of her finest provinces,, her people cpiupelled t.o find a refuge"in the mountains of -the Asturias, and her fugitive chiefs hold ing a council in’a cavern, kept up a war of resistance with but little intermission till 1492.

Scarcely had Spain emerged from this long night of centuries,- springing like the tropi cal sun, suddenly and lull orbeii from the darkness, when she, who had for so long a period been convulsed iu a. life and death struggle for own. existence; gave birth, through the enlightened patronage of her court to Christopher Columbus, to a new world. The names of her great Captains, De r Leon and De Cordova, and of her illustrious statesmen, Mendoza and Ximenes, are. indis solubly linked with that brilliant period of her history, and gave the impetus to that career of greatness which made her lor two centuries the first country ia Euiope.

French rule in 1S08, ivheu half a million If combatants waged a guerilla warfare lor four years against the usurpers,, and illustrated their- heroism by the immortal,defence of Saragossa, Gerona, Cadiz, Tarragona and Va lencia, demonstrated; that tfic lofty courage and inflexible purpose of the Spanish nature had survived the decadence of its political power.

One of the young men, with great presence of mind quietly-lowered his gun and shot-the reptiie'-tirfdfigh the head; whereupon', another about the same size, darted beneath the feet of William Rhodes, and into a hole in the log immediately under where he had been sitting.

The young men, naturally much Him tliougnt to retreat but perceiving tliGui - selves surrounded, and no alternative for them hut to surrerideV or fight, they determined to stand their ground and take their chances in conflict with a foe ten times more terrible than' a whole tribe of the.' most ferocious savages. Happily for them, the snakes, after hissing and sputtering aronnd, and exhibiting their braggadocio for a short time, to the terror of the young men, all except one re treated into the hole.:: Taking advantage of this, the young men attacked the remaining shake and dispatched him in short order, then quietly awaited the movements of those in side. They had waited but a few moments when another ventured to make his appear- m&Jf Heijfc# rtispgfecd.iEff iUjke manner as the first. This was repeated again arid again until thirteen huge rattlesnakes lay “weltering ih" their' gore,"-and--our two young heroes stood champions of-the field. We .did not learn the size of any of the snakes, but our informant says they were" all full grown, and nearly the same size.—Bobin- inger County (Mo.) Standard, Sepl. 19. A most extraordinary case is to be tried shortly before the Court d’Assizes of Mar seilles. It has just Been discovered that three women coolly and deliberately poisoned their husbands in order to marry again. Two of the husbands died some months ago, the third and last in August. All three bodies have been exhumed, to be analyzed by medi cal men, each of the presumed assassins be ing 'brought in presence of her respective victim. One of the women is forty-five years of age, another thirty-five, and the third scarcely twenty. As fivras can he ascertained *at present, they appear to have been assisted in their crime by a fourth woman—a necro mancer or tieruse de cartes—who seems - to have inspired the deed and helped to accom plish it, ♦r- ’ . " ' ' . Trie Restoration off trie ! Letter from Geaeral 1 Among' the responses to invitations to at tend the Democratic inass meeting in Indian apolis,' last week, was- the following from Gen. Roseferaris: - i ;1 ’ GENERAL ROSECRANb' LETTER. St. Martin’s, Brown County, Ohio, ) September 21, 1868. J Getieral John Love, bdianapolis, Bid.: General—Indispensable duties prevent me from attending: trie gathering of officers and soldiers at Indianapolis, to which your "letter invited me on the 23d instant. Brit beyond the great gratification I should experience in meeting so many of my old cotripanions in arras, and mingling our memories of the past with recollections of future efforts and sacri fices for the honor of the land and flag we love, my presence there would accomplish little more than a simple statement of my views on the chief issues which now agitate the country.- I believe onr free institutions arid highest material interests are in grave periL I shall, therefore, perform a solemn and responsible duty to my fellow soldiers and countrymen, who love this nation more than party," by stating what I think the most vital issues before the public in the approach ing Presidential election. ^ Above all other questions—expenditures, taxation, bonds, “greenback^” or anything else—stands that of restoring the people of the JVinthera States to hopeful, cheerml self- government. Restore them this, and os cer tainly as day follows the sun our political stability wtilbe-ngsured; .or fionocial pros perity will speedily letjow; the value qf prop erty in the South will increase; onf nubile securities will go to a premium; our green backs will become par; coin and currency ac counts, with all their evils and complications, will disappear from the books of onr business men. Believing, with all my soul, that the preservation or orir Government from des potic changes, and all these inestimable bles sings depend upon the restoration of the Southern people to wholesome, cheerful self- government, I am equally certain that it can be done, and. dare pledge my honor and life that they wills ‘ " for them that they will give and observe all proper guarantees to renounce secession, slavery, and their dependent issues to protect, educate and elevate the freedmen to the ex ercise of all the franchise they enjoy in Ohio, Indiana or Illinois; and faithfully to perform all the duties incumbent on them as "good citizens nnder the *Constitntion and laws of the United States. And what more conld be asked of them, or what greater results conld patriotism desire for the country than depend upon this issue! preferences ana personal of our country than does the attainriient of this great good. The desolate and rained South, the oppressed tax-payers of the West and North, generosity, mercy, love of coun try, apprehensions of evil to come, eveiy mo tive that ought to move the hearts of true and noble men, appeal to ns to say by onr votes we will step the hopeless folly of attempting to govern the Southern States by what we call “loyal blacks,” and. give the people under just guarantee the right, peacefully and le gally, to proceed to reorganize their own Government within the Union. With such convictions I hold the man who would not express and act upon them a traitor to him self and his country, and despise the partisan who would find fault with any reasonable steps he might take to bring about so great a good to the nation. Commending my con victions, and the reasons for them, to the judgment of my fellow-soldiers and country men, I remain, very truly yours, W. S. Rosecrans. Johnny Shrimp—His School Composi tions—On Formes.—Politics is a hard word. I don’t jnst know what it means. I guess it is a sort of sickness. People who have this sickness meet together in the evening and howl and talk. Pa has ’em bad. He goes ont five nights in the week and doesn’t stay at home the other night. He has ’em so bad that he can’t walk straight when he comes home. I used to think politics was something good to eat. Ma says she thinks it is something good to drink. I went once to a meeting where they all had politics bad. A man got up and called another man who wasn’t there all sorts of names. He said he belonged to the other party. He said the country was gone to ruin, and we should all be ground to powder in the crash. 1 told ma I thought he was talk ing about earthquakes. Earthquakes is in my last geography lessbn. I don’t like geo graphy much. Bnt goggerfee is a good deal better than politics. Pa says when I grow up I shall understand ~ “'on’tlfln J St ’ horse, and a cow, and go to. the threatre, and be a police man, and keep a candy store, and have a balloon, and dance on the tight-rope, and be a cloAvn like “Hunipfy- Dnmpty,” and to go to church once a year, and to Central Park twice a week, and in swimming three times every day. But I don’t want to have any iriore politics.- . - ' > < ta « « A Question of "Veracity.—It will membeied that sometime since a .despatch purporting to be from Gen. Hatch, at New Orleans, was published, in which the General stated his fears that an attack would be made upon a Radical procession which was soon to. take place in the Crescent City, and asking' instructions from the War Department This publication, while it afforded the Radical par ty North much political fuel for the campaign, greatly aroused the indignation of the citi zens of New Orleans, who pronounced the dispatch a positive slander upon them. They declared that Gen. Hatch, when he penned the telegram, knew it was false, as could be proven by every respectable white man in the city. The General, finding the city getting almost too worm to hold him, entered a de nial of the whole thing, and now says he sent no snch dispatch to the War Department, al though the official reply has been published. Application was made at the War Department yesterday for on inspection of the original telegram, r bnt' it was refused. . The refusal goes far to prove that the publication was cor rect or the Department would probably have allowed at least the correction to be made, which seems to be due to Gen. Hatch if he has been so grossly misrepresented.—Cor. Baltimore Gazette. (EiluciitionaU Euglish Elementary School. H.

The Army Worm.—A _ yesterday a pocket full of cotton bol , one-half to two-thirds grown, perforated by the army worm, and some of the bolls partial ly eat up. Many of these bolls had fallen from the stalk. He also exhibited the worm in its different stages. After stripping the stalk of its leaves and perforating and eating half grown bolls, they webbed themselves up near an inch long, became of dark brown color, which hatches out something like a butterfly, with a light silky fur. These are left in abundance in the fields. What effect they are to.produce on another crop, we are at a loss to determine. There will certainly be no top crop to cotton this year—late cot ton consequently feres badly. We have seen no planter who now « to make more cotton than from one-half to two-thirds of what he planted for. Prospects for the staple are certainly gloomy.—MUiedge- rtffe Recorder.
