Lmpletely immortalized and martyrized
R0U Davis It makes no difference now
We have gathered the following interesting
particulars relating to the present unfortu
nate condition of the' United States troops at
Tybee.
CoL Carling, Chief Quartermaster at tnis
post, has sent to the quarantine ground all
the transportation necessary for immediate
use, and a full supply of hospital furniture
and hospital stores. He now sends per
steamer Resolute about 6,000 gallons of wa
ter daily for the use of the j hospitals and
troops. The great demand has been for ice
and pure water.
The hospital has been moved from in and
around the Martello Tower to the beach
facing the Tybee Roads, where the patients
can have more and perhaps purer air. There
are seven hospital tents now pitched
and under the efficient superintendence of
Dr. Winne, of the U. S. Army, and we are
assured that affairs are beginning to assume
the business shape and system which should
have prevailed at the quarantine ground pre
vious to the appearance of the pestilence.
The Hospital is in two sections—the first un
der the charge of Dr. G. B. Higginbotham,
of Brooklyn, late of the U. S. Navy, and the
other is [superintended by Dr. G. W. South-
wick, of Illinois, who is at present nearly un
fitted by sickness for a full discharge of his
duties. Dr Irving G. Rosse, the Quarantine
Surgeon, has charge of the sanitary depart
ment of the San Salvador, the passengers
and crew of which are still enjoying excel
lent health. Their wants are well supplied
by Capt. Hardee, the agent of the ship at
this port. A number of the passengers, by
permission of the proper authority, have
chartered the schooner Sciance, in which
they make daily excursions to sea for pleas
ant and healthful recreation.
There has been admitted into the Quaran
tine Hospital at Yybee, from the 18th to the
25th inst., one hundred aud twenty patients,
one hundred and ten of which are cholera
cases, and the remainder remittent and
typhoid. Out of this number fifty-five have
died, thirteen of whom were, found dead on
the adjacent islands, where they had perish
ed in their vain attempts to escape the
plague.
It is believed that about twelve more have
died in the marshes or were drowned in their
attempts to swim the rivers. The number
of deserters has been greatly exagerated, as
many have returned of their own accord.
On Tuesday there were seventeen deaths, and
on Wednesday fourteen.
We have been informed that Capt. Ells
worth, of the U. S. Infantry, who commands
this detachment, has made every endeavor
to save the lives of his men, and prevent
their straggling. The responsibility of his
position has not only been great, but painful.
He has, however, met it like a true soldier,
exhibiting extraordinary courage without
pride nr vanity. He has been much assisted
by Dr. Winne, whose energy begins to tell
in reviving the confidence of the men.
The Rev. Father Kirby is at present on
the Island, and constant in his attendance on
the sick, and administering consolation to the
dying. His friends will be happy to learn of
his continued good health and great useful
ness. A very heavy thunder shower visited
the Island Wednesday night which, it is sup
posed, will have a beneficial effect.
This detachment consisted of four hun
dred and seventy-three recruits for the 7th
U. S. Infantry, now stationed in the district
of Florida.
The loss by death to the present time is
about one out of every six. Three or four
citizens have died on the Island, not included
in the above account. It is reported that
Mr. Cooper, the Light House constructor,
died of fever. We are informed from a re
liable source that he died of cholera. The
deceased stood very high as a man of strict
integrity, and bis death is much lamented.
Of course the work on the Light House is
discontinued, $nd will probably not be re
sumed for some time.

T%e Fenian Vote sad the Politician*.
The Fenians have the misfortune to be
K red by all kinds of trials, troubles and
latkms. The last, but by no means
the least formidable of their troubles, is tlie
raid which.is now being made upon them by
the politicians. Democratic and Republican
leaders are alike engaged in plotting, schem
ing and wire-pulling for the Fenian vote in
the coming elections. Hitherto the Irish
vote has been largely Democratic, and the
attempts of the Republicans to beguile Irish
men into their ffinks' has invariably failed;
bnt the suppression of the late Femau move-
men upon Canada, by the Administration to
which the Democratic party is allied, has in
spired the Republicans with the hope that
their time for winning the Irish vote has at
last arrived. Their plan is, ’of. course, to
take strong pro-Fenian grounds in respect to
the relations between .the United States and
Canada. In^cc<SdaaM) with this programme
a Republican member of Congress lately of
fered a resolution to lithe effect that the
United States should acknowledge the
Fenians as belligerents; another Republican
offered a resolution for repealing the
neutrality laws in respect to Canada ;
and still another
lution instructing
use the influence of the Govern
ment for procuring (he release oi the
Fenian prisoners in Canada. There are
other circumstances of a like character, ail
indicating that the Republicans intend to
bid high for the Fenian vote. It is not like
ly that the Republicans wili be successful to
any great extent in this effort, but their
skilltul strategy has evidently caused a little
uneasiness among the Democratic leaders,
inducing them to take measures for the
counteracting the effects of the Republican
scheme. Among the resolutions adopted at
the Democratic fountainhead meeting, which
was held in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Wed
nesday, we find the following;
“Resolved, That the sympathies of the
Democracy are now, as they ever have been,
with our brave brothers of the Emerald Isle,
in their gal,ant efforts to free their native
land from the foul tyranny of England; and
that we owe nothing to the English govern
ment which should prevent us from repeal
ing or modifying the neutrality laws, so as
to give the Irish fair play, which is all they
ask.”
This shows that the Democratic leaders do
not mean to be outbid by the Republicans.
If the latter have any hope of winning they
must go considerably higher. As the mat
ter now stands, the bids are even in respect
to the repeal of the neutrality laws, etc.,
but the Democrats have the advantage by
characterizing the Fenians as “our brave
brothers of the Emerald Isle.” How would
it do for the Republicans to invest all their
loose change in Fenian bonds ?—New York

The European Basis of Negotiations.—
The Paris Presse gives the following as the
basis of negotiations suggested by France,
and communicated to the representatives of
the belligerents : *
The Germanic Confederation to be dis
solved, and another Confederation to be es
tablished, of which neither Prussia or Aus
tria shall form part. No territorial cession
to be demanded of Austria. The abandon
ment by the latter of her rights in the
Dnchies, and to replace the war indemnity
as first demanded by Prussia. Prussia to in
corporate Schleswig, Holstein, Hesse Cassel,
Hesse Darmstadt and Brunswick. The pop
ulation of the Prussian Kingdom would
thereby be raised to 25,000,000. The Rhine
to constitute the westernfrontier of Prussia,
and the provinces between the Rhine and
Main to serve as an indemnity to the sover
eign dispossessed by the war. An exchange
of territoiy to take place between Baden and
Bavaria, which would give the former nearly
the whole of the Rhinish Palatinate, Saxony,
Hanover and the Dnchies of Saxe to conclude
the military conventions with Prussia. The
inhabitants of Landau to choose whether
they shall belong to France or Baden, and
the population of the Valley of Sarre to
choose between France and the Rhinish sov
ereigns. La France says that the Prussian
conditions are the exclusion of Austria from
*he Germanic Confederation; the exclusive
^? m ® an d of the military and naval forces of
Confederation by Prussia, the diplomatic

Monster Restaurant in Paris.
Among the curious sights of Paris well
worth seeing, is the establishment of which
we have the following description by the
Paris correspondent of the Morning Star:
To those among your readers who are now
contemplating a sojourn in this metropolis, I
should recommend a visit to “LaCaliforuie,”
a monster restaurant Dear the Barriere du
Maine, and which is the rendezvous of hun
dreds of workmen and ruined young men of
various classes. No less than 18,000 persons
can be accommodated there. The So/eil
gives ns some carious details as to this im
mense establishment. From four o’clock in
the morning the servants of La Californie are
at work. Sixteen cooks are In constant em
ployment. The waiters have no other occfe,
pation than ..that of pouring out wine adjl
■upplying the customers with glasses and
plates, and there are thirty.five of them hard
at work from morning till night. Tlie pro
prietor was originally a butcher, and usually
reserved for the use of bis restaurant five
hundred oalves per mouth and fifteen hun
dred rabbits. Thirty butchers scarcely suf
fice to supplv the amount of meat now re
quired by “La Californie,” since he has put
my heart,
which beats with so warm and fatherly a
feeling for the good of my peoples. But the
reliance which I expressed in my manifesto
of the 17th of Jane—a reliance on your un
alterable ana faithful devotion and readiness
for any self-sacrifice—a reliance on the cour
age of my army, which even misfortune can-
. not subdue—a reliance upon God and my
presented a reso- g O0( j ami sacred right—this has not wavered
the President to f or a a i n ,,le instant. I have addressed my
self to the Emperor of tbe French respecting
his good offices for bringing about an armis
tice with Italy. Nob merely did the Empe
ror readily respond to my demand, but with
noble intention of preventing any further
bloodshed, he even, of bis own accord, of
fered to mediate with prussic for a suspen
sion of hostilities and for opening negotia
tions for peace. This offer I have accepted.
I am prepared to make peace upon honora
ble conditions, in order to put an end tc the
bloodshed and ravages of war. But 1 would
never sanction a treaty of peace by which
the fundamental conditions of Austria’s po
sition as a great power would be shaken.
Sooner than that this should be the case I am
resolved to carry on the war to the utmost
extremity, and in this I am sure of my peo
ple’s approval. All available troops are be
ing concentrated, and the gaps in the ranks
of the army are filled up by the conscription
which has been ordered, and the large en
rollment of volunteers called to arms by the
newly awakened spirit of patriotism. Aus
tria has been severely visited by misfortune,
but she is not humiliated or bowed down.
My peoples, have confidence in your Em
peror. The peoples of Austria have never
shown themselves greater than in misfortune.
1 will follow the example of my forefathers,
and will lead you on with determination,
perseverance, and unshaken confidence iu
God. Francis Joseph.
Given ai my residence in the capital of Vi-
ena, this 10i.ii day of July, 1866
The Times remarks :
We have never read sadder words than
those which the Emperor of Austria ad
dresses to his people. The reverses of his
army, the occupation of one of his kingdoms,
the danger ot his capital, have almost bowed
down that proud and confident spirit. Know
ing what manner oT man Francis Joseph is
by nature, we may judge of the humiliation
he must have felt in doing what he has done,
and saying what he has said.

SOUTHERN
The recent terrible conflagration at Port
land, and the consequent suffering inflicted
upon thousands of the people, to say nothing
of the almost crushing blow to the prosperity
of one of onr most promising cities, calls for
cibly to mind scenes of a similar character in
another part ,«f the country, only a few
months ago. The terrible calamity that has
befallen Portland called forth the better feel
ings of our people—inspired, .nnivi
pathy, and opened hundreds and
of purses. The scene at Portland. f<
and lamentable it was, assumes trivial
proportions when we remember the deaolw

the said proprietor, presides over the distri
bution of soup and meat to tbe poor of tjie
neighborhood. Between half-past seven and
eight the customers begin to arrive. Nothing
can be more promiscuous than the crowd
wbtcb frequent La Californie. *
There may be seen the poor and industrious
workman, who buys a piece of bread artel a
morsel of cheese, which he eats as he goes to
his work; tbe moceur who lias spent his
night in dissipation and comes in to drink a
glass ot wine and eat a crust ; tlie gonapmr
who has slept in the open air, and the ieion
who adroitly contrives to evade even tbe
Argus eyes of the waiters and steals a plate
of meat and piece of bread deposited for an
instant on the table, while its bearer answers
a sadden call from an impatient customer.
Every customer of La Californie is expected
to go in person to tbe kitchen and carry away
the dish be prefers, for which he pays on the
spot, being there supplied with a spoon and
iron fork. Mr. Cadet has been at tbe bead
of this establishment since tbe 26th of May,
1850, and haS purchased 800,000 glasses,
100,000 fork9, and 150,000 knives since that
date to the present hour. The dish in con
stant demand from seven in the morning to
eleven at night is soups and beef, for which
the customer pays six sous, or three-pence.
Add to this two sous of bread aud three sous
of wine, and the poor workman will have had
his meal for eleven sous, that is 51-2d. The
daily bill of fare of this monster restaurant
shows a consumption of 2,000 (French)
pounds weight of meat. The prices are thus
quoted : A plate of meat, either beef or mut-
toD, 2d.; ditto of veal 3d.; a half-pint of wine,
2d- Two casks of wine are drunk per day,
and 800 pounds weight of bread eaten.
on Which it is based, will ba.at once forward-
ed for the consideration of the Commanding
General. The <Juty of the post commander
will then cease, and the prisoner will be dis
posed of by orders from these headquarters.
It is believed that in many cases the ends
of justice will be subserved by deferring the
arrest, in the first instance, and forwarding
the papers to the Commanding General for
final action here. This course may be pur-
sgj^vwfien the post commander is assured
thatthe party accused will not attempt an
escape, and the delay occasioned be bnt lim-
ited. _ _ . ' _

tle women, mothers, whose hearts would
have cnilied at tbe sight ot a child torn to
fragments by a bursting shell—who would
have wept tears of womanly sympathy for a
neighbor turned into the streets by an uncon
trollable fire—who would have stood appalled
and horror-stricken bad one of their own loved
ones been snatched from them by violence—
tender-hearted, Christian women cangbt the
infection ot blood and thunder preaching,
and flippantly wished for the complete, utter
annibalation of the people who bad incurred
their displeasure by their political jMUion.
Even little children prattled the words of
hatred, and lispingly prayed for the most
fearful of visitations upon all in “secession-
dom.” How little did these people realize
the awful barbarity of their expressed senti
ments ! How little did they realize the sig
nification of the terse language of the tele-
rapk as it successively announced “Atlanta
lestroyed,” “Columbia wiped out,” “the
cradle of the rebellion a mass of reins,”
’Richmond in ashes.” The frightful scene
at Portland has brought home to onr own doors
the terrible significance of the destruction
which many pious people prayed so ardently
to be visited upon the South—and while it
opens our hearts in sympathy and charity for
the afflicted, it should also cause a reviewal
of the feelings so common a few months ago,
and give energy to the patriotic determina
tion to rescue our country from the perils of
another civil war, by re-establishing the fra
ternal relations which existed between our
ancestors, North and South, when the joined
hands to resist a common enemy, and fonnd
country m which their prosperity might
enjoy a common prosperity and feel a com
mon pride.
Two Confederate Celebrities.—Rev. O.

Christian Speciator, writing to his paper from
New Orleans, furnisbes ibe following de
scription of two Confederate celebrities:
“I have, had an interview with General
Hood, late of the Confederate army ot Ten

is handsome to magnificence. Tall, well-
formed, with a face indicating equally
strength and gentleness, with a deep, pen

Terrible Tragedy.—Peachtree street
was thrown into a fearful state of excitement
last night, about nine o'clock, by one of the
bloodiest tragedies that ever occurred in tbis
city. The circumstances transpired in the
back yard of tbe little store in which Mr. C.
Hammond is doing business on the above
street, and the particulars are as follows, so
for as we could learo last night:
Mr. Hammond has had in his employment
a negro woman and her son, whose conduct,
of late, has been such as to cause a bad feel
ing to exist between them. Tbe black boy
has been especially insolent, and at dusk last
evening a son ot Mr. Hammond was com
pelled to correct him, when a slight fisticuffs
occurred. It was supposed, however, that
the difficulty was ended. Later in the night,
as young Hammond was in the back yard of
the store, be was assaulted in a most violent
manner by both mother and son. The mo
ther, who is a very stout negro weneb, seized
the young man aud held him firmly, while
her son inflicted a terrible wound near his
neck With ajong knife, which had evidently
been procured fot ^be purpose. The une
qual contest was bat of a moment's duration,
and resulted in the death of young Ham
mond. The negro boy attempted to escape,
but was apprebefided near the store of. Oox
& Hill. The nibther, we learn, made ho
effort to get away. They Mere both taken
into custody, aud sq iuthrUMd. and outraged
were the crowded .throng of bystanders at
the fiendisbness of the act, that it was wilfr
tbe utmost difficulty they were prevented
from visiting summary vengeance upon the
boy then and there. As the circumstances
became more generally known on tbe streets
tbe excitement increased, aod squads of men
Were hurrying to and. fro in search of tbe
murderer and his mother. We are not ap
prised, as we go to press, if the police suc
ceeded in shielding them from Lynch law.—

Breakers Ahead.—The National Intelli
gencer, of the 20tb, says ;
With but one-half of the country, the
prestige of the Union cannot be maintained.
The continued alienation of tbe staple-pro
ducing States, and their subjection to arbi
trary power and plunder, begin to shake
confidence in the stability of tbe Govern
ment. Tbe next Cougress, and indeed the
action of the present Congress at the next
session, may involve the country more deeply
than ever in the danger of a dissolution of
the Federal Government. Rebel arms could
not effect that object, but radical usurpation
may do it-
But it is to tbe next Presidential election
that men look with alarm and distrust. Al
ready we find that prudent and considerate
men, who are not office-holders, nor partici
pants in tbe public plunder, which is one of
tbe chief bond9 that hold together the Radi
cal Congress party, are becoming shy of Gov
ernment securities, except for temporary pur
poses, and are investing their money in real
property, which may survive the shock of
the public credit, aud tbe failure of tbe Goi-
ernment promises to pay.
A collision, at some time, either before or
soon after the Presidential election, between
the Congress faction and the conservative
power of the people, may be, and is, appre
hended . The Radical Congress cannot much
longer refuse, without hazard to the public
credit, to recognize the loyal States of the
|i>uth and tbe loyal men whom they elect as
their, representatives. There are many ways
in which difficulties might arise which would
render legislation uncertain, and even atop
the wheels ot the Government entirely, it,
indeed, the people are to tolerate and sup
port tbis usurping and tyrannical Congress
and their measures.
A horrible tragedy was enacted in Cald
well county, Kentucky, oh Thursday last.
Andrew Alexander, sixty years of age, had
frequent and violent quarrels with his wife.
Early on Thursday morning, when both
man and wife were alone in the house, the
wife shot her hnsband twice, killing him
instantly. AlexanderiMOB vras at the barn,
and hearing the repoiffcf pf the pistol,, went
to the bouse. As be entered the door his
stepmother-turned and fired upon huntwice,
slightly wounding hi® each time. He fled
to the nearest neighbor's for assistance, and
while on the way bi beard tbe report of the
pistol again. When the neigbbore arrived
they found her dead in the yard, the having

is a Christian. Speaking of tbe failure of tbe
Confederacy, and tbe cause of that failure,
he said:
“It was the will of God that we should not
succeed. We seemed to be within reach of suc
cess two or three times, but just missed it.
It was tbe will of God. The beneficial re-'
suits of tbe suffering and sacrifices of the
struggle may yet be attained in a different
form." Of himself, Gen. Hood spoke little,
and modestly. His eye kindled once when
I spoke of ‘Hood’s Texans.’
“I have also seen tbe fat and famous Hum
phrey Marshall, whilom brigadier in the late
Confederacy. He is a monster of corpulence.
In looking at him, yon cannot help fearing
that hetmay burst through bis clothes, that
everywhere seemed stretched to their atmost
tension. But wbat an Imperial head sur
mounts this immense fatty mass. Physically
and mentally alike, he is great. He is not
religions—israther inclined the other way.”
Laconic.—The following correspondence

Waukegan, III., June 24.
To Hon. Horace Greeley, New York:
Dear Sir:—I would respectfully ask if it be
true that you have offered to go Jeff. Davis’
bail for his release? Also, if the above be
true, why you did not try to obtain bail for
Wirz, keeper of Jeff. Davis’ slaughter pen? I
ask these questions, not from impertince nor
idle curiosity, bnt for tbe purpose of obtain
ing your views on so important a point. Ib
the meantime I remain, . * *
Very respectfully, yours,
[Signed] " J. Wilson, Jr.
answer. •
Ye3, sir; I would bail Davis, or yon, or any
other cnlprit that the Government would
shamefully keep in jail more than a year, re
sisting and denying his just and legal de
mand that he be arraigned and fried, or let
go. Yours truly,
Horace Gbeela y.

has already been noted. In tbe House, last
Monday, Mr. Williams told how it wasffooe:
Mr. Williams arose and stated the circum
stances of his arrest- He was arrested at bis
home in Carter county, by three persons—tTO
foreigners and'one negro. He was* arrest«
by proper authority, and on a grave charge,
which he denied, that of treating the House
with contempt. He had been closely kept
under guard, in a room, like a criminal. He
demanded a trial before he could consider
himself a member of ttw House. . ,
