Ixkdojj, August If7, 18GD.
• ° rcr ° no fiHion persons witnessed the great
■ international raco between Harvard and Oxford
T r, excitement was unprecedented,
ijondon city was almost entirely deserted and
business was totally neglected. Everybody
taiketl about the race, and everybody wore either
the Oxford or Harvard colors. From eaTly in
the morning until late in tho afternoon vehicles
of all descriptions, heavily ladon with swelter
ing people, crowded all tho roads leading to the
course. The day was hot and tho crowd was
hot. The roads in the vicinity of Putney, Ham
mersmith, Chiswick, Barnes, Mortlake, etc.,
were thronged with pedestrians. Tho railway
companies found themselves almost unable to
provido cars sufficient to carry the vast num
bers in waiting at the depot Dukes, coster
mongers, princes, cordwainers, lords, fishmon
gers, carls, and rouglis poured to tho river
bank in ono conglomerated mass. Many ladies
wero present, ilooms commanding views of
the course were rented at fabulous prices.
Homo brought as high as XI00.
SCENES ON THE RIVER.
The steamer London Pride .was anchored
nbreast of the Thames Conservatory yacht,
i he I rince of Wales, it is affirmed, stood npon
her deck surrounded by several members of the
royal family. All carried large lorgnettes. The
umpire's boat was but a fow feet distant. Thom
as Hughes, the umpire, was surronnded by a
group of diRtingumUed gentleman, among them
Mr. Gladstone, Bulwer Lytum, tho Count de
PariH, John Stunrt Mill, Charles Roade, and
others. Tho arrangements boing nnder tho di
rections of tho Thames Conservators, that body
of gentlemen exerted themselves to tho ntrnost
to insaro “a fair field and no favor” for the two
crows. The captains of steamlmats on the riv
er woro served with printed instructions forbid
ding them to come beyond a mark mapped ont
by buoys across tho river, and tho river police
wero activo in keeping back and arresting tho
progress of craft that now and again shot ont
boyond tho prescribed limits. In fact, tho ar
rangements wero ns perfect as mortal man could
mako them.
OONDITION OP THE CREWS.
Tho Harvnrds remained in their quarters du
ring tho groater part of tho day. A great many
American and English gentlemen called npon
them, but fow wero admitted. It was freely as
sorted that tho American crow were overtrained.
Tho condition of Simmons and Boring was tho
subject of frequent comment Tho former was
suffering from diarrhoea, and tho latter was
troubled with an angry boil. Tho American
creyr. however, wero quito confident Biaikio
BOH m «h Word wore smiling faces, and occa
sionally took tho long odds offered on tho Eng
lish crow. Kolly was cool and calculating, and
said but little. Some of the members of tho
American legation appeared despondent, but
with this exception, all seemod confidant of a
tight race, with a good squaro chanco for on
Amoricnn victory.
During the day tho Oxfords kept quiet. None
but favored friends were welcomed to their head
quarters. A fow of tho English nobility and a
linlf dozon boating men and collegians remained
with them until late in tho afternoon. AU of
their friends woro enthusiastic, and freely of.
forod two to ono on their success. Tho crew
wero in tip-top condition. They based their
hopes of victory npon their snperior bottom. .It
was generally conceded that Harvard wonld take
the lead and keep it as far as Hammersmith
Bridge. “ Bat thoy can't stay,” said Yarhor-
ongli, you may bo sure of it.” This seemed to
bo tho general opinion of tho vast masses of
Englishmen that lined tho banks of the river.
THE JlETTDiO AND THE srECTATOBS.
Tho Thames was fringed with veiling specta
tors. Evory available boat and housetop was
covered with men nnd women. Tho hotting was
lioavy. Too long odds olTcrvd on Oxford was
freely talTen by tho Americans and soino of tho
English. Kolloysays that over a million pounds
sterling wero wagered in Loudon alone. Many
of the ladies wore tho magenta colors of Har
vard, nnd ventured sovereigns on the skill and
endurance of tho Americans.
THE CREWS ON THE RITEtt.
The Oxford crew glidod out of tho London
boat-houso at n quarter of fonr. Their ap-
pearanco was tho signal for an imuiouso cheer,
which was carried up and down both bnnks of
tho river for miles. As thoy paddled toward I
tho Star nnd Garter their long sweeping body
stroko elicited another cheer, and drew out a
thousand exclamations of admiration. Tho snn
was shining brightly, and tho water was nearly
ns smooth ns a mirror. Soarcely a breath of air
was stirring. Tho oars of the sturdy English
men rose and fell like tho steady sweep of an
onglo’s^'mg. Their bodies wero bare and their
skins wore well tanned. Turning off at tho
Star and Garter, they swept down to the start
ing-post at Putney Bridge, where another cheer
mounted tho air nnd was wafted np the river.—
Their stroko was moderate, and their faces bore
tho calm, impcrtnrbed look peculiar to English
sporting men.
Fivo minutes elapsed. Tho Harvards spurted
ont in tho stream. Another cheer flew over the
vAst multitude, bnt it lacked the volume of its
predecessor. Naked to tho waist and bronzed,
tho shoulder-blades of the Harvards rolled in
thoir sockets, nnd their oars took tho water with
marvellous precision. Down toward the stake-
* boat they sped with the grace of a water-fowl.
Tho multitude waved their handkerchiefs, and
sent spasmodic cheers in the wake of the gal
lant crow. The Oxfords spoke not a word ns
tho Harvards ranged themselves at their side.
Tho vast crowd became breathless with excito-
mont.
* “OrF, GEXTLF.SIEN ! ”
The tiny stems of the spear-l’ke boats were
ranged on a level. Tho crews hold the oars in
readiness. Not even a whisper was heard. A
slight nervousness, however, was observed in
the movemont of Simmons. Loring sat like a
statye, eager-eyed and immovable. Little Bum-
barn furtively glanced at the Oxford coxswain,
and silently awaited the word. The English
crew sat with their bodies bent to the front and
arms extended solid and apparently indifferent.
The Harward crow had won the toss for the po
sition, and chose tho Middlesex side, tho outside
of the semi-circle. It was fivo o’clock fourteen
minutes and six and a half seconds. Tho tide
was sluggish, and a light Southwest breeze pre
vailed, with the water ns smooth ns a mirror.
There was a moment of dead silence.
“ Off, gentlemen 1” said tho starter, in a dear
bass voice.
And thev were off—off like the wind. The
judges clicked the springs of their watches. At
the same moment an anxious spectator knocked
Tom Hnghes' hat into the water with his elbow.
The Harvards were first to catch the water and
took the lead, gaining rapidly npon their oppo
nents, making forty-five strokes per minute
against the .Oxfords forty.
- » THK RACE.
There was a flutter among the vast multitude
lining the banks as the Harvards sped to the
front. A million eyes were fixed upon their
flashing oars. At Bishop's Creek, three fur
longs from the bridge, they had gained half a
length and were still gaining. Their quick
stroke seemed to sing a song of triumph. They
reached the Willows, and the stem of their boat
was even with the bow of the Oxfords. Hero
there was an evident slack in their speed, and
the Oxfords crept np a quarter of a length. A
nest of cheers from Beverly rang out a story e£
English satisfaction. Three-quarters of a mile
was thrown to the rear, and still the Americans
held a good lead. At Craven Point the Oxfords
doggedly maintained their provoking steady
drag, while the Harvards spurted ahead like
mad. Dung W harf and Hose Cottage flew bv
two! o a ^ f TTf yl ‘ ght WftS °P«°cdb«tween the
two boats- The gap was increased nntil at Crab-
? mlle and eight from the start. At the
aWd n< Tb he Araeric “* were folly two lengths
^ l ?‘* 7 '* rere pulling at the rate of fortv.
^ Pfruunute, the Oxfords holdi£g

point the coxswain of the Harvards hugged the
Middlesex shore, and the Oxfords slightlv
S!*® n ® d . th . e , i V pee<1 At the ““P works, ’a
a haIf from the acqueduct, they had

a length by the skin of their teeth.
HAMMERSMITH BRIDGE
was f]ead ahead, and both boats wero going for
it like terrified water spiders. The bridge was
reached, and a subdued murmur from the spec
tators above reached the ears of the rowers as
they entered its shadow. From the soap works
to the bridge Harvard went with magnificent
speed, but in shooting the bridge their distance
was lost. Opposite the middle wall the Oxfords
sported and came np gradually to the Harvards.
but when opposite ‘‘the Doves,” the boats were
found to be too close together, and the Harvards
gave way. At “Chiswick Ait,” (2\ miles,) the
boats wero “level.” After proceeding fifty yards
farther, the Oxfords began to gain, though tem
porarily, and the Harvards again got even with
them.
Oxford gained rapidly at Chiswick, where it
became clear that the pace apparently told on
the Harvards, who wero rather wild at this part
of the race. From this point tho
OXFORDS RAPIDLY DREW AHEAD.
and in a few strokes obtained a lead of two
lengths. The Harvards, rowing pluckily, held
them there for half a mile, when they fell astern,
and Oxford, at thirty-eight strokes per minute,
shot Barnes’ Bridge (3 1-2 miles) three lengths
ahead.
Along Barnes’ Beach tho Harvards refreshed
their stroke (Mr. Loring) with river water, there
by retarding tho boat. The Americans then
tried to Rpurt, bnt found the effort ineffectual,
and the Oxford getting more of a lead, eventu
ally won the race by four lengths, easing up in
the last few strokes and palling np fresh.
THE ENGLISHMEN' CRAZY.
And then arose a yell of jov from 500,000
English throats. A stranger wonld have thought,
to have heard it, that tho whole British nation
had bnt just escaped from somo unknown bnt
terrific disaster. Hats were thrown in tho air,
and hands were shaken in congratulation. When
English honor was thus satisfied, a royal ont-
biirst of huzzas wero given the Harvards.
The Oxford arrived at tho ship at 5 o’clock,
.3r> minutes, 47 seconds, making tho 4$ miles in
minutes, seconds. Tho Americans were
well received at the finish, and returning, landed
at Barnes. The race was a good ono, nnd exci
ted a degreo of enthusiasm along tho banks of
tho river utterly unknown before.
Weekly ItoNiimc of Foreign A Hair*.
PREPARED FOB THE GEORGIA. TELEGRAPH.
Great Britain.—Itev. Dr. Camming has ad
dressed a letter to tho Pope begging permission
to bo present at the (Ecumenical Council, with
n view of explaining tho causes which have
separated tho Protestants from the Roman
Catholic Church.
NIarquis do la Valetlo, tho now French Am
bassador nt tho Court of St. Jninos, presented
his credentials to the Queen.
Gladstone's health is perfectly restored.
Tho International Boat Race, on the Thames,
between the students of Oxford University,
England, and Harvard, America, lias caused an
unusual excitement among the phlegmatic
English, British superiority in the art of rowing
being at stake. Tho anuuftl boat raco of the
Oxford and Cambridge students form a part of
English national life, and in the month of April
always drAws two millions of people to the banks
of tho Thames to watch tho result of tho eager
contest; and, thongh, in tho last eight years tho
Oxford Uni versity invariably has carried off tho
palm, the interest felt in tho national sport
never decreases, as everybody thinks that this
time the Cambridge crow will strain evefry
sinowy muscle to conquer thoir opponents.—
Tho bold challenge of Harvard had, therefore,
roused tho national pride to the utmost degree.
Victory aided with tho English, though the Har
vard students acquitted themselves Admirably.
The English press unanimously favors an an
nexation of Cuba to the United States of Amer
ica.
Reports from all parts of tho Kingdom show
that—wheat excepted—tho harvest will yield an
average amount this year.
Another mass demonstration, favoring tho
release of tho Fenian prisoners, in which 20,000
people participated, was made in Drogheda,
Ireland. Enthusiastic harangues wero delivered,
whilo bands of music played tho most favorite
Irish melodies. The resolutions, which were
adopted, declare that a continued imprisonment
of tho Fonians will l>© nn imprudent, impolitic
and unjust measure.
France.—The French exiles have gratefully
accepted tho Emperor’s amnesty. Felix Pyat,
tho boldest representative of red republicanism
in 1840, who was banished from his native land
when in tho prime of his life, has now returned
as a sexagenarian. Victor Hugo, tho author of
“Napoleon le Petit,”mil, of course, scorn “tho
tyrantV* pardon; his example, however, will bo
followed by only a very few.
The Emperor has appointed General Leboeuf I
as tho successor of Niel in tho ministry of war. ]
Ho is slowly recovering.
Eugenie has started on her tour to the East.
'Ph© French authorities arrested twelve Carlist
Chiefs who were about to cross the Franeo-Span-
ish frontier into Spain.
News was received in Paris that two French
men and ono Belgian, all partisans of tho late
Emperor Maximilian, had been arrested in Mex
ico as being complicated in the conspiracy
against Juarez* life. It was said that the Amer
ican Ambassador had declined to interfere in
g, •££ JTOfiA y OlZAf
Salvatori Patti, tho father of Adelina and Car-
lotta Patti, died in Paris. [
Germany.—A direct communication between
Swinemnend© and New York by tho steamers of
the North German Lloyd is about to be estab
lished.
Tho Royal Family of Prussia has largely con-
tributed to tho subscriptions for erecting in
Berlin a monument to Alexander Von Hum- |
boldt’g memory.
As a remarkable phenomenon, tho fact de
serves mentioning that tho Chinese Government
seeks in Berlin incumbents for offices in the Ce
lestial Empire. In the contest between classical
and practical education, which has been going
on for some time in Germany, the Chinese
seem to side with the champions of classical
loro, for they want for their reveauo depart
ment young German philologists who have
passed through tho classical training of a gym
nasium and university. It was hitherto the
custom in China to appoint for the seaports for
eigners who had mastered several tongues, the
Chinese, of course, included. But this system of
appointing foreigners without regard to a supe
rior education has been fonnd deficient; and
the Government wishes to nominate young
German philologists, who, by their studies, fur
nish the guaranty that they will acquire tho Chi
nese language in a far different and more per
fect manner than mere practical conversation
can impart it. The present foreign officials are
said to be incapable of carrying on an official
correspondence with the Government.
For the first three years the new candidates,
who receive at once a liberal salary, are only
required to study the Chinese law of import*
practically, but the Chinese language theoretic
ally and practically; after having then passed
through an examination, a brilliant career is
waiting for them.
_I n Cassel, died Braun von Montenegro, bom
1 *93 in the same city. Under Bolivar, the Lib
erator s leadership, he played a valiant part in
the war of independence of the South American
Republios, and Bolivia nominated him com
mander-in-chief of the army. With declining
years, he had left the scene of bis chivalrous
exploits, to pass the evening of his life in his
native land.
The exact number of miners killed by the
recent explosion near Dresden is now officially
stated. It is 2T9, who leave 221 widows and 650
children unprovided for.
Italy.—It is positively asserted that the in
fallibility of the »Pope 'and the spiritual and
bodily ascension of the Holy Virgin will bo pro
claimed by the Rc*nan Council.
Pius IX has ordered a magnificent monument
to be erected in memoriam, which will be inau
gurated before the departure of the Bishops.
[ Spain.—The reports from Spain are very nn,
| reliable. Though the C&rlist movement was
considered to have signally failed, new bands
are forming in all parts of the country. To fill
the cup of misery, dissensions are reigning in
the Cabinet. Topete threatens to resign if his
colleague Zorilla persists in his severity towards
the militant bishops^
The Bishop of Jaen contests th&t the Regent
has any right to issue a decree calling upon the
bishops to warn the clergy against tho insurrec
tion ; he will appeal to the Holy See.
Considering the overwhelming difficulties the
Cortes is already convoked for the loth of
September.
The Volunteers have petitioned the Govern
ment to spare the life of Polo, who was recent
ly captured at the head of an ^armed Carlist
band.
Fifteen thousand workingmen have struck for
higher wages in Barcelona.
Yet. despite all these calamities at home, the
sale of Caba is more doubtful than ever, for an
other reinforcement of G,000 men will shortly
sail for the theatre of war.
Austria.—President Pulski made the follow
ing declaration in the sub-committee of the
Hungarian Delegation for foreign affairs. Tho
Delegation approves of non-intervention in Ger
man affairs, and hopes, out of respect fak the
doal basis on which the equilibrium of pfrties
depends that our foreign minister will ptusue
the same policy in the future. As Hungary
does not desire to extend her possessions in the
East, the equilibrium between the two halves of
the monarchy would be destroyed if a greater
influence wero gained in Southern Germa
ny. The policy of Hungary with respect to
Germany is tho preservation of the “status
quo.” He also expressed a wish for more cor
dial relations with Berlin, and regretted that
misunderstandings with Prussia still occasional
ly occurred.
Russia.—Tho news of the suicide of Komis-
sarow, who saved the life of the Emperor Alex
ander is denounced by the Russian papers 03 a
malignant falsehood, as well as the statement
that this young man had become a drunkard.—
He is attending to his military duty as officer of
a regiment of hussars, and employing his leis
ure time in improving his education. Tho na
tional subscription taken up for him amounts so
far to 70,000 roubles. Though he is not known
to have taken a temperance pledge, he is noted
for his sobriety and excellent character.
Turkey.—The Turco Egyptian difficulty is
settled to mutual satisfaction.
Ismail Pasha will pay a visit to his suzerain
in Constantinople.
A gigantic fire distroyed 1,300 business houses
and 300 private residences in Ganina.
Greece.—The project of a canal through tho
Isthmus of Corinth has been laid before the
chambers.
SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
The news from tho South American Repub
lics, which really represent despotic govern
ments of tho most degenerate kind, with tho
exception of Chili and Pern, is but a melan
choly talc of chronic warfare, misery and woe.
In Venetttela, Generals Monagas and Pnlgar
aro contending for tho empire. Monagas is
laying siego toMaracaibo, which city is defended
by the latter.
In Ecuador tho President of tho Republic has
transferred the reins of government to General
Garcia Moreno, who celebrated his ascension
to snpremo power by banishments and execu
tions.
The new Constitution invests all power in the
Government The Roman Catholic faith is de
clared the religion of the State; no other form of
worship is tolerated. The Government has the
right to banish qll foreigners whom it considers
tho enemies of public peace.
United States of Columbia.—Mosqnera was
defeated in the Presidential campaign. A riot
took place in the capital and the people and
soldiery met in a bloody encounter. Another
revelation is soon expected.
Bolivia.—Largo coal mines wero discovered
in tho District of Copacabana, along tho banks
of tho river Titicaca.
■ Great disatisfaetion prevails among tho In
dians. Several regiments were sent to check
them.
Pntu.—Pern is progressing, and directs her
attention toward tho construction of railway and
telegraph lines. There are prospects that she
will soon bo connected by telegraphic wires with
Panama. A million dollars for this purpose has
been subscribed in Europe.
Several slight shocks from earthquakes wero
felt again in Lima.
Chill—Tho Indians in Araneania, who have
made no new invasions, show friendly disposi
tions toward tho Chilians.
Tho prizes for tho exhibitors of the Agricul
tural Exposition were distributed in Sant Jago.
Several Americans obtained prizes, bnt the
greatest number were nwnrded to tho English
exhibitors. Jabno.

SCHOFIELD’S PATENT COTTON PRESS.
fPHIS PRESS mu ; tcommond itself to the cotton planters of the Southern States for ita durability, »»m-
JL plicity of construction, and ease with which itcan be orerated by cither hand, horse, water or steam power,
the change from one to the other being effected in a lew minute?. A great advantago this Press *o?ses?es, is
that it occupies for hand power only a space of fourteen feet square, and may be placed and operated in the
Gin House, thus avoiding the necessity of taking cotton out of he bouse to be packed. It can be used in any
kind of weather; the Press being in. the house, rainy days a-er.o obstacle to packing, as i« the case with
wooden screws. Another advantage i?, when you get i*chofield’s Press, you have a Press for all time, and one
not liable to decay or breakage, as is the ca e with the old wooden screws, and most otheriron screws and
presses This is evident from the fact that the screw is iron, cither wrought or cast, and tho frames are of
wrought iron, and no part of the Press liable to decay touches the ground. The frames may be made of
wood, at the option of the planter. Planters may purchase either the screw and out alone, and put the frame
and box of wood to it themselves, or may purchase the screw, nut and iron frame?, and put the wooden box
to it, or they may purchase the Press complete, with screw, nut, iron frames and box, making the most cotn-
pleto l'resj in use. Presses complete, ns lost named, aro in more general use, and give great satisfaction to
all parties using them, as will be seen from letters in my possession. Parties in need of Cotton Presses would
do well to call, if possible, and examine mine; or if they should favor me with their order, they may rely
upon getting a Press that is all I cairn for it. A •• . .
Having the most extensive Iron Works in the city, and tho greatest variety of patterns of all kinds, I am
able to furnish parties with any kind of machinery or castings at short notice.

Rosadalis Guido to IleAlth Book, or Alma
nac f-*r this year, which wo publish for
gratuitous distribution: it will give you
much valuable information:
Dr. R. W. Carr, of Baltimore, says—I
tako pleasure in recommending your Kosa-
dalia as a very powerful alterative. I have
seen it used in two cases with happy results;
one in a caso of eccondary syphilis, in
1 whioh tho patient pronounced himself
cured after having taken fivo bottles of
i your medicine. The other is a case of
scrofula of lone standing, which is rapidly
improving under its uso, nnd the indica-
; tions are that the patient will soon recover.
| I have carefully examined the formula)
j by which your Rosadnlis is made, and find
, it an excellent compound of alterative in
gredients.
1 Dr. Sparks, of Nicholasville, Ky„snysbe
1 has used Rosadalis in cases of Scrofula and
Secondary Syphilis with satisfactory re
sults—as a cleaner of tho B4ood I know no
better remedy.
i Samuel G. McFadden, of Murfreesboro,
j Tenn., says:
■ I have used seven bottles of Rosadnlis,
, and am entirely cured of Rheumatism;
send me four bottles, as I wish it for m
brother, who has Scrofulous Sore Eyes.
Beniamin Bechtol, of Lima, Ohio, writes:
’ I have suffered for twenty years with an
■ inveterate eruption over my whole body: a
“horttitne since I purchased a bottle of
KosadaUs and it effected a perfect cure.
