fever had made its appearance in Savannah,
the Herald of that city says, so far from this
being the case the city was never more healthy'
at this season.
Pork Prospects.—The New Albany,' ftnffi)
ledger of a late date says: “We had on,
Saturday, an interesting interview with one
■of the heaviest pork dealers and packers in
Southern Indiana. He ; informed us that he
had just closed an extensive correspondence
with drovers in this section, and was inform
ed by nearly every 'c&inuiunication received,'
that stock hogs were plenty, and the com
crop probably the best raised in the past ten
years.; He informed-ns that it was the gener
al opinion among the packers that the market
would open in November at not more than
$8 or $ 50 per $850 pounds. The supply will
be very, large. We understand that three
packing houses will operate in this city the
coming season." ..
THE SUPERIORITY OP THE FEMI
NINE OVER THE MASCULINE.
This is tDe purport of alccture delivered to
a “select and fashionable” audience,” at Dr.
Chapin's church, Broadway, New York, by
the distinguished advocate of “woman’s
rights,” Mrs. C. F. Windle. The cardinal
feature of Ifer creed is the superiority of the
ethereal feminine, over that of the rough and
bearish mascuiine nature. The fair lecturer
is described as a person of unusual persona!
attractions, and dressed in the most unexcep
tionable manner. The audience ertnsisted
mostly of ladies, from the maiden of sweet
sixteen,to the apathetic spinster of fifty. Mrs;
Windle slowly and gracefully ascended the
steps leading to the pulpit, 1 and having enter
ed thesacred precinct-'Usually occupied by
Dr. CnAPiN.in his 'ministrations, spoke from
manuscript for an hour and a half. nt
The lecture alleged that woman is degrad
ed by man, by reason of his superior strength
and powers. Her position, socially, is that of
an inferior—she i3 either, an ornamental toy
or a useful drudge. By the laws of society)
woman escapes her peculiar destiny. Woman,
in ai spiritual sense is far elevated above man,-
as her peculiar structure, is distinguished
from his physically. There can be no diffi
culty, assigning to woman’s physical organi
zation the intended offices of maternity.,, She
has been endowed beyond man that she may
be the fit artist of the immortal offspring.—
Woman in the “plan o[ progress.” is the ar
tist of humanity. Wo*Hn.has the power of
voluntarily fashioning tins beings of her ma
terial creation previously to their birth—of
moulding them spiritually as well as eorpo
really, after the model of her own ideal. The
lecturerclosed with a glowing peroration to the
future progress of enlightenment and civiliza
tion to be exemplifiedina change of woman’s
relations to man.
The greatest enthusiasm pervaded the
meeting throughout, and the fair lady was
raptuously applauded. Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher has inscribed on bis banner the sil
ver trumpet motto, “Uegros and ■ women.”-
The strong minded; devotee hCre presented,
clamors for “women” only, and consequently
is open to the chargQi.of being a backward
scholar in the “school of progress.”

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT.
There will undoubtedly be an effort made
by the readers, in the next congress, to im
peach the president. In a late number of the
N; Y. Herald we find the following in refer
ence to this subject: •
We have noticed a muttering among the
radical Jacobins for several weeks past about
impeaching the president Mor spmc cause or
other. We looked upon this as.of np impor
tance, believing it to be simply the reiving of
a few fanatics who could' not express their
disgust' of their own approaching doom in
any other form. But some important facts
have recently come to our knowledge, which
not only place the whole affair in'a different
light, but reveal a deep laid plot on the part
of the radical abolitionists to actually at
tempt the impeachment of'Presiclent John
son, if they cannot defeat his restoration pojh
cy in any other form.
The Auti-Slutery Standard 1ms for some time
openly advocated this course, while Beecher’s
organ (the Independent) hah been constantly
insinuating the same thing, which lms been
followed by priYtrte and ptiblie articles by the
secular editor of thnt shefet upoh 'the private
clBtracter of the president;-' All this, with the
accusations of the Chicago Tribune and other
journals in the same interest, arc sufficient to
convince an observer of events that something
more than usual is in the wind. That a deep
scheme has been prepared to thwart the presi
dent’s policy is very evident from the course
of those journals and the action of the Jaco
bins and the Chose radicals; but, we did not
suppose until a few days ago that it had as
sumed its present shape of an attempt at im
peachment.
The Herald continues its article by stating
that it jias been given out in Washington by
the radical senators’ that all the facts and
data have been prepared, and will be used at
the proper time.' The president lias heen
forewarned} and will be} 'prepared to defeat
this desperate Sterne p^.Jijs Jqnemies. They
have, says the same journal, from., th(3. cogi;
inencement of tli eir : opposit ion to. tlio .presi-
dent, been compelled to take untenable
ground, and will find themselves, in the end,
dwindled.down to a weak and powerless-fac
tion.
One of- the earliest newspapers in Oregon
was printed from wooden types cut out by
hand. The State has now three dailies; The
Portland Oregonian,the Salem Statesman, and
the Dallas Mountaineer. The editor of the
Oregonian was the first graduate of-an Ore ;
gon university. It is full of suggestiveneas
that leaders and farmers of public opinion
are of native culture and growth. Indeed,
few things have impressed me more than to
hear several -young ladies,’ who have lived
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
A Washington dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gazette says that prominent democratic poli
ticians, who are engaged in figuring upon
the character of the next congress, say that
there will be a majority’ of ten in favor of
admitting the Southern members who come
prepared 1 to take the test oath.
The Herald's Washington special says that
Kentucky, has expended over $2,000,000 for
national troops, in addition ter what she ex-
pended.foi 1 her home guard, for which she
has never: reoeived reimbursement. Secretary
McCulloch i has promised to arrange for its
payment at the earliest possible day.
Qov.- Oglesby, of Hlinois, as president
of the • national Lincoln monument associa
tion, has prepared a circular to the various
governors and State legislatures, asking their
concurrence and co-operation in the matter
of raising funds for the construction of the
monument.
The New York Herald celebrates the re
turn to that city of Sir Morton Peto and his
brother capitalists, by printing what it as
sumes to be the conclusions arrived at by the
solid Englishmen. It says they propose to
expend a hundred millions in this country in
double tracking their own road and all its
branches, and doing the same for the New
York and Erie, besides shortening it seventy
miles and building a bridge,, over Niagara
river, at a cost of four millions.
General Connor’s Indian expedition is re
turning to Fort Laramie, after severely pun
ishing the hostile tribes on Powder river, but
it is not thought his success has been decided
enough to settle the savages. One tribe was
pretty thoroughly whipped and burned out,
but two others were only partially subjugated.
Other expeditions will be necessary.
A terriblo murder occurred in Nashville on
the 2d. James Garrison shot his wife delib
erately rix times, emptying the contents of a
navy revolver, causing almost instant death.
Cause, jealousy.
Jeff. Thompson tells the editor of the Lou
isville Journal that the only persons in the
South who wish to do any more fighting are
those who didn’t do any when they had the
chance.
The Cleveland Leader says the officers of
Oberlin College, without a dissenting voice,
recently tendered Hon. James Monroe, United
State consul at Rio Janeiro, now at home
the presidency of that college, vice Finney
resigned. Great pressure is brought to bear
upon that gentleman, and he holds the tender
under serious advisement.
Secretary McCulloch is preparing to.take a
week or two leave of absence to visit Ills
home in Indiana. It will be his first absence
from his post since his advent to the treasu
ry department portfolio.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, of the 25th says:
We hear of a large number of families
‘and ; individuals who have determined to
forego the use of butter or to consume it
very sparingly, until the article is brought
down to something like a reasonable price.”
This aleagirrous compound is so scarce in
this market that the citizens of Macon can
not obtain it at any price.
The Boston Post gives the city of Nashville
a very bad name, as follows: “The morals
of Nashville, Tenn., are said to be shocking.
The courtezans are reckoned by thousands.”
The Press and Times adds: This is leaving a
little truth with a great deal of misrepresen
tation. The number of prostitutes here can
not, from the best accounts-,exceed five hun
dred.
A portion of the 3,000 copies of the gov

or any portion thereof, to the press for publi
cation. My reasons were communicated to;a
leading journalist. They rested in sound
patriotism, and were sufficcnt, in my humble
judgment.
I deem it proper, however, now, to say that
I did charge the jury, that they, and I, con

other privileges it grants that of having and
bearing arms for self defense. I referred to
certain orders proposing to disarm citizens,
and to the fact that apprehensions seem still
to be entertained thnt there is sedition and
rebellion amongst us, and recommended them,
in the exercise of one of their ancient dvities
as grand jurors to make diligent, enquiry
whether any one was endeavoring to get and
hold arms for seditious, insurrectionary or
rebellious purposes, and if they found the
fact to exist, to act in candid concert with
the military iu suppressing it. If, however,
the contrary appeared (which I believed
would be the case) to let their presentments
speak on the subject plainly, but with deco:
rum and dignity. • '
These views I honestly entertain, and it
was not from any fear of consequences per
sonal to myself, that I at first withheld their
publication. I believe they are such as arc
substantially held Iry those who administer
the government at Washington, and bv-every
right-minded lover of liberty upon this con
tinent. The war has closed—our people
have bound themselves by an oath to accept
its results. They are not perjured. Thepresi
dent has said he will rely upon their
fidelity. His subordinates <U6 as well do
so. Whether these be the views of others
or not, they are. mine; and if J know my
self, I will be the last man to yield prin
ciple. Humble as I am, if' it be expected
that the courts in Georgia, in this day of
our humiliation, are to set a precedent for
all time of the subordination of the civil to
the military power in my country, the officer
to act in such a miserable farce must be
sought for somewhere else; not here. Iam
not the man.
Such are my antecedents that no man can
say that these declarations are made in a sedi
tious or jaundiced spirit. It is well known
that by example and precept I have counseled
in behalf of peace, good will and fraternity
of feelings, going so far as to subject myself
some obloquy even at the hands of friends.—
But I have never concealed the, sacrifice of
any self-respect or of any of the eiiobling prin
ciples of manhood and never will.' Nor do I
believe that such sacrifices are expected by the
victors,in the late war. B. H. Bioham. .

The Davenport Swindle in Paris—How
they were Exposed.
[Paris (September 14) Correspondence London
Daily News.]
* * * . The Davenports came forward at
last, looking worn and rather frightened.—
The interpreter then invited two of the au
dience to come upon the stage to watch the
operation. The two who stepped forward
were greeted with howls ot “ Confreres I”
but these changed to. .applause when they
named themselves, M. H. de Rene, well-known
for a celebrated duel, and editor of the Ga
zette des Eirangers and the Vieomte Clary.—
They, [inspected Cords and cup boards, saw
nothing suspicious, and the brothers were
as securely as usually tied to their bench.
The doors are closed, the unearthly hub
bub of unmusical instruments com
mences ; tlie 1 spectator^ ask for light,
the spirits, by their interpreter, object; the
public is for a moment silent and the
brothers walk out of their box unbound.-
One of the gentlemen who tied them thinks
the ropes produced are not the same as lie
had used, but the objection does not prevent
a second manifestation. This time the broth
ers' who had entered the box unbound, arc
found solidly attached to the bench, but a
spectator whose attention had been uninter
ruptedly fixed upon the bench, jumps on the
stage, puts'his hand on the bench, round-
which the cords are wound, touches a
spring, thebenon bends in the middle, andthc
cords fall at the feet of the captives, who
themselves plumped down not on their heads.
The rush, the row, were terrific, hut the ap
pearance of the commissary of police, who
announced that the money would be returned,
succeeded in restoring quiet; The company,
after examining the mysteries of the cup
board, retired, not sorry to find their money
in their pockets, delighted at having detected
the imposture, and glad to breathe some fresh
air 1 , for the heat had been stifling.

The scarcity of laboring hands on the east
ern shore of Maryland is occasioning much
inconvenience to the citizens of that region,
and a delegation yesterday made application
to the freedmen’s bureau to obtain help.
Gen. Howard has already sent forward a
number of freedmen to the State of Mary
land, and will send more in a few days to the
eastern shore.
Gen. Beauregard.—For so qiiiit atid un
obtrusive a citizen, Gen. Beauregard is made
by the Northern journals to appear to be the
most restless and perturbed spirit and most
ubiquitous personage of this remarkable era.
A -while ago we had the General in some
Northern city, about to take passage for for
eign lands. Again we heard of him as ac
tually in France, soliciting a .'general’s com:
mand in the army of the Emperor. The
very latest bulletin, however, which appear
ed iu the papers on Sunday, last, placed him
in Mexico, by invitation of Emperor Maxi-
millian, to take command of the army of the
Imperial persuasion.
"What was our surprise after reading tlicse
authentic accounts of General Beauregard’s
movements, to meet him yesterday on the
street, looking as innocent and indifferent to
these serious dispositions of his person, with
out liis will and consent, ns a lamb'regards
the preparations of the butcher to serve him
up for the market. There may be a General
Beauregard in New York, Paris and Mexico,
but tbe rcal simon pure General, who is ki)own
in this State as the man who figured rather
conspicuously some months ago at Petersburg
and previously at Charleston, Conrinth, Man
assas, &c., is now n sedate, quiet citizen and
civilian in his native city, who has no idea of
leaving liis country, and will remain here to
meet all the responsibilities and discharge till
the duties of a citizen.—New Orleans Pimyune.

remanded yesterday at Dublin for a week.
They will all be tried together. Arrests still

New York, Oct. 4th.— The Herald’s Vera
Cruz correspondence of the 21st ult., repre-
sent R..terrible state of affairs in Mexico.---,
Disorder and.Tiolence reigns supreme. The
guerillas increase in numbers and their dep-'
v/ifloJnTie I'nntinllft- in nil ftnmn
redatibns continue in nil sections. Some
J,60O additional French troops have lately
arrived, and a number of negro troops are ex
pected' from Egypt. It is feared they -will;
bring tlie cholera with them and inflict a new
misery en the country.
The Herald's special says, that of the new
5-2V bonds for the conversion of certificates ■
of indebtedness and other interest bearing
securities, three denominations only Will
be made, viz: one thousand, five hundreds
and one hundred dollars; the one thousand
tire the only one now ready.
The pension bureau desires it to lie known
by applicants for pensions, that it is mtneces-
saiy for them to go to the expense of obtain

bureau has that information already.
ggf At the grand Indian council held at
Fort Smith, on the ICth ult., Mr. Belidinat,
late a representative of the Cherokee nation
in the Confederate Congress} in speaking of
Albert Pike of Arkansas late a general'in'the
Confederate army, and John Ross, chief of
the Cherokecs, said :
Gen. Pike has been represented here as a
leader of barbarians. I assert that Gen. Pike,
and r know tha, those frho are conversant
with the facts will bear me out in the asser
tion, 1 should he be held-no more responsible
for acts of. cruelty, 1 of which he is charged as
the instigator, than Gen. Bussv, who sits be
fore me, for some inhuman acts of a soldier,
committed in his absence and without his
knowledge or approval.
Again as to Mr. John Ross. We claim,
first, that he acquisced in the treaty of peace
with[the Confederate States and was t he prime
mover in procuring such treaty.
2d. That there was no attempt at :, com
pulsion by the Confederate authorities.
3d. That he organized a regiment of 1,300
men to fight for the South, before any act of
hostility had been committed.
4th. On tlie night referred to before, he
clasped the hand of Stand Watie, a bitter
enemy, pledged his faith, to uphold the Con
federate cause.
VARIETY.
The people of Chillicoflie, Ohio, seem con

miserable Confederate soldier, just out. of one
of tlie surrendered armies, and who rejoices
in the cognomen of “Mudwall Jackson,”,. ,

with Parson Brownlow, gives the following
pen-and-ink portrait of his excellency :
“ A dusty, sallow man—all gall and blus
ter. He,..,is Scotch Irish by birth, and a
Methodist preacher by profession ; tierce
rather than strong, an uncomfortable friend
and an ugly enemy. He is a tall and awkward
man, with large hands and shambling feet.
His provincialism is shocking, and liis coarse
ness repulsive. The most unchristian of all
preachers, he makes it a sin to forgive an
enemy.- His personalities are disgustingly
original! He has some virtues—never drinks
or smokes. His son. John has the same style
of temperance^ but once killed a fellow col
legian.”
