led i Ctbus W. Field.
Washington, July 21, 1866.
The Congress has departed, and the Ex
ecutive Government breathes more freely.
Such a party as the Radicals holding two-
thirds of both Houses of Crongress created
a feeling of uneasiness. There was no fore
seeing what madness they might not at any
moment enact-
The Congress passed, before adjourning,
tbe bill to equalize bounties. This bill is a
mere (largesse to tbe soldiers, not one cent
of it being a debt- It is supposed this bill
will swallow np $300,000,000. Thff princi
ple on which it pretends to go would require
$3,000,000,000. The Secretary of tbe Treas
ury protested against this measure, intima
ting that he could not carry -on the finances
of the government if it passed. And yet,
in spite of all, for mere electioneering pur
poses, it was passed. It is the most unjusti
fiable measure of such greAtjmagnitude ever
passed by a Legislative body. Tbe vilest
demagogueism that ever disgraced human
nature never went beyond this. And yet it
was promptly approved by the President.
What a commentary on Republican institu
tions. And yet, the same Congress rejected
an appropriation of $253,000 to pay the As
sistant Marshals of the Southern States for
taking the census of 1860, although guarded
by a proviso that no one should be paid un
less he could prove that he had taken no part
in the secession movement. ,
The friends of the President are in fine
spirits now. Letters from the South encour
age them as to the conservative views of
those who are going into the Philadelphia
Convention. And the indications from the
North of Conservative Republicans taking
part in the Convention are considered promis
ing. Vallandingham and his friends sre still
however decaded in the Convention.
Mr. Seward is going in strong for the Con
vention, and is moving bis friends to action
in New York and elsewhere. The Radicals
are denouncing Stanton with great bitterness,
and the impression begins to exist that he
intends to put in his fortunes with the Presi
dent.
The letter of Mr. Ale ander H. Stephen s
to Montgomery Blair, just published, has
been read with great interest and produces
an admirable effect. The tone and|temper
of the letter will do much good. A very-
high compliment was paid Mr. Stephens by
a Radical a few days since in debate, who
spoke of him as “the man who furnished
brains to the Confederacy.” Unfortunately
though Mr. Stephens famished brains, those
in authority in the Confederacy refused to
receive his brains. If the diplomacy of the
Confederacy had received its inspiration
from Mr. Stephens, the Sonth would have
been able to make a peace of renpuon on
their own terms, instead of being left to the
absolute mercy of the United States.
The indications are that the President’s
friends wiU pursue the contest for power
with the Radicals with new energy. The
Cabinet is gradually becoming a unit in the
support of the President and the power of
the Executive Government will begin to be
felt as it has never been yet in this struggle.
The successful completion of the Atlantic
Telegraph, which now joins the old and the
new continent, has created a decided sensa
tion here. People were expecting a failure,
anil were quite surprised and delighted at the
result. It is certainly a historical event. The
governments and civilization of Europe are
now in touching distance. If we could be
wise and happy, such contact of ideas would
undermine European thrones. But our
Government in its present hands seems to
have accepted 'the benevolent mission of
making republicanism odious to "the world.
The Mexican Minister here,Romero, repre
sentative of the Jnarez Government, is jubilant
over the approaching downfall of Maximilian.
His Exoelleney |s troubled by parties in New
York issuing bonds for, the Mexican Govern
ment, and he has asked our Government
to put a stop to it. They have referred him
to the courts, and especially suggested to
him the case of ‘the Emperor of Austria vs.
Kossuth, in which the Court of Chancery in
England granted an injunction against Kos
suth for making paper money to circulate in
amgaiy. | : ;j ;i ■] X *

THE CITY UNDER MARTIAL CAW.
The charge of Judge Abell, of New Orleans, together
with recent telegrams from that city, had prepared
the public mind to expect an early and serious colli
sion between the lawful and law-abiding people of that
city and the seditious Radicals and negroes who are
plotting to overthrow the State Government. That
collision has occurred. The following telegrams—al
lowance being made for tbe prejudice and determina
tion to lie of the writer of the specials to the Tribune-
will place before the reader all that is yet known on
the subject: ", .
[Special Dispatch to the New Tork Tribune. ]
New Obleanr, July 28—The Commercial, in an
extra, publishes the Governor's proclamation, order
ing an election on the 3d of September to fill vacan
cies to the Constitutional Convention. There is great
enthusiasm among Union men.
The rebel Secretary of State refuses to affix his sig
nature, but there is a decision in the Supreme Oourt
which renders this unnecessary. Sheriffs, Commis
sioners of elections and other officers therein con
cerned are ordered to hold the. elections. No one will
Jbe allowed to vote who hits not taken the oath, as pre
scribed by the amnesty proclamation of the President
of the United States, either of January 1, 1864, or May
29, 1865: ;
George Wayles, rebel, killed Patrick Fox, a promi
nent Union man in the parish of St. Charles, on the
15th of July, without the slightest provocation. The
wife of Fox applied to Justice Brown for redress,
which was denied, whereupon Wayles and Brown
wese both arrested under the Civil Rights bill, and
are at present lodged in jail.
The immense mass meeting is being held in this
city to endorse the policy of Congress and the call for
the reassemhlieg of the Convention of 1864. The
greatest enthusiasm prevails^ The State House is
crowded inside and in the street. Governor Hahn
presides over the inside meeting, and Judge Haskins
over the outside. A torchlight procession, such as
was never before seen in this city, will follow.
[Special Dispatch to the New York Tribune.]
Washington, July 29.—The following has been re
ceived from the New Orleans correspondent of the
Tribune: ,
New’ Orleans, July 29.—The Constitutional Con
vention will meet to-morrow., There is great excite
ment in the city, and loud threats by the rebels to
break up the session. The rebel Sheriff, Gen. Harry
Hayes, has sworn in a posse of deputies to promote
this disruption.
Members of the Convention are openly threatened
with the-lamp pctt but ike Union men are resolute
and sanguine. Tire Governor Lae returned to the city,
and is engaged in organizing the militia, irrespective
of color, a large force of which will guard the State
House.
J. A. D. Rosier, a notorious Copperhead, is in Wash
ington, seeking the appointment of Provisional Go
vernor, in order t6 check - the Conventioh: Major-
General Roe, the Alabama Chief of the Thugs, has
been in secret rebel council all day, and serious diffi
culties are apprehended. The milttary will protect
tbe place.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND
THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA—PRO
CLAMATION CT THE MAYOR OF NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, July 29.—Yesterday Abe Attorney
General of the State and the Lieutenant Governor
telegraphed to the President of the United States, in
forming him cf the violent and incendiary proceed
ings and speeches at the Republican negro meeting
the night before, stating that a serious riot was feared;
that the Governor had issued-a proclamation calling
mi election to fill vacancies in the bogus convention,
and was in league with the Republicans; that it was
intended to indict the members of the convention by
the grand jury, and asking it the President intended
that the military forces of the United States should in
terfere to prevent the execution of civil process. The
President replied as follows:
Washington, July 28,1866.
To Albert Vow'frees, Lieutenant Governor of Lou
isiana:
The military will be expected to sustain, and no 1
obstruct or interfere, with the proceedings Qf the
courts. A dispatch on the subject of this conventioh
was sent to Gov. Wells this morning.
The Mayor has issued the following proclamation:
Mayoralty of New Orleans, I
City Hall, July 29, 1866. J
Whereas, the extinction convention of 1804 proposes
meeting day; and whereas intelligence has reach
ed me that the peace and good order of the city might
be distuvbed; now, therefore, I, John. T. Monroe,
Mayor of the cit^ of New Orleans, do issue this, my
proclamation, calling upon the good people of this
city to avoid with care all disturbance and collision;
and I do particularly call on the younger members of
the community to act with stich calmness and pro-,
priety as that the good name of the city may not be*
tarnished, and the enemies of the reconstruction poli
cy of President Johnson be not afforded an opportu
nity (so much oonrted by them) of creating a breach
of the peace and of falsifying facts, to the great injury
of the city and State; and I do further enjoin upon all
good citizens to refrain from gathering in or about the
place of meeting of said extinction convention, satis
fied by recent dispatches from Washington that the
deliberations 6f the members thereof will receive no
countenance from the President, and that he will sus
tain the agents of the present civil government and
vindicate its laws and acts to the satisfaction of the
good people of the State.
John T. Monroe, Mayor.
In an interview with the Mayor yesterday, General
Baird stated positively that he would prevent the
sheriff or posse, or any State or civil officer from in
terfering with the convention.
The Tribune, a Republican paper, says tlie conven
tion will meet to-morrow and adjourn until the middle
of September. /

From this it appears (omitting the fractions) that
while there is in New England a pauper to each 40 and
a criminal to each 174 of the population, in the
Southern fStatea enumerated there was only one
pauper to each 451, and one criminal to each 3,421 of
the population. It is evident that the much boas ted
superiority of New England, on account of her great
moral purity and high intefiigence tclls better m
rhetorical flourishes than in statistical figures. What
a story ft tells fbr the culture of Massachusetts, with ■
her sublime system of free schools and her innumer-
able churches, that she has 47,880 paupers, and 12,773
criminals, while Alabama, one of the dark corners ol
the earth—a field of missionary labor End philan
thropic effort, two-thirds as large a population, had
only 682 paupers, and 179 criminals.

• New Oeexahs, July 30, 1:15 p. m.—The moat in-
tense excitement prevails. At this writing indiscrim
inate firing is going on on Common, Canal and Dry-
alls streets. Three negroes were killed on Dryalls
street and two on Common street. Two whites arc
reported wounded. An immence police force is out,
and using all efforts possible to quell xhe riot, a
large uimbu of. jiegroea, armed in every conceivable
manner, but principally with clubs, are assembled in
front of Mechanics 1 Institute. The convention b*a
not yet organized. The proclamation is being well
observed by the whites.
[THIRD niSPATCH.]
New Oblbass, July 30, 3:16 p. m.—Outside tbe
convention tbe rioMs suspended. The police have
surrounded tbe convention building. An immense
crowd ia outside the building, full of “the convention
and the negroes.” The police are trying to get the
members of the convention out, but the populace are
very belligerent. Dr. A. P. Dostie and John Hender
son, Jr., have been brought out dead and carrried offin
arts. It is doubtful if many are gotten out alive.

New Obleaks, July'30, 3:25.—On the meeting of
tbe Convention, the Dopulace surrounded tbe build
ing. There was an iuunqnse number of negroes in-
Sidoand outside. The police and tbe people quickly
became masters of the situation, and tbe building was
closely besieged.
The inaide party hung out a flag of truce, where
upon tbe police ascended tbe stairs to protect tbe
members, but no sooner bad they retched tbe ground
when tbe mob outside opened an indiscriminate fire.
Tbe white flag was no longer respected, and evsrj-

New OblKass, July 30.—Fred. 1 Shaw and John Hen
derson, Jr., are not killed, as reported,; 1>nt badly
wounded; tbe latter is not expected toftv*.
The Times’ extra says tbe act was occasioned by
one of tbe freedmen in the procession this morning
shoving a white man and tripping him. The polios
supposed ttae man had been struck, and advanced to
arrest the supossd assailant. Thsy were met with a
volley of pistoia, bricks, Ac., which at once mdffeed a
general alarm, and henoe the bloody tragedy that baa
been enacted. - . . .. , L , ..
The excitement has now greatly subsided, and the
utmost older prevails. Mayor Monroe, previous to
the riot, had an interview with General Baird, asking
assistance.' Tbe General consented, but the troops
came afterihe disturbance was over. The great mass
of flooftcilttZeaaUY tbe whole blame upon Governor
Wells, who, they say, provoked it by his proclamatiAi
convening the Convention of 1864.

tbe negro mob. tte police threatening to burst
open the doors of me convention, a white flag was
hung out, and the doors opened. The police upon
entering were fired on. No private citizen, outside
of the convention and negro mob, interfered. The

The following are dispatches to the associated
press:
New Orleans, July 30—2:30 p. m.—The populace
surrounded the building.' Au immense mob of negroes
inside and outside. The police and people quickly be
came masters of tbe building, which was closely be-
aieged. Seeing themselves besieged, the inside party
hung out a flag of truce, whereupon the police ascend*
ed the stairs to protect the members. No sooner had
they entered the hall than the party inside opened an
indiscriminate fire. The flag is no longer respected,
and every visible bead from the building ia fired upon.
This work continues. It is not known how many are
in tbe building. Arrests continue to be made and the
crowd continues.
The Times' extra says the riot was occasioned by
one of the freedmen in the procession this morning
shoving a white man and tripping him. Policemen
supposed the man bad struck and advanced to arrest
the supposed assailant. They were met by a volley of
pistol shots, bricks, etc., which at once produced gene
ral alarm, and hence the bloody tragedy that has been
enacted. The excitement has greatly subsided and the
utmost order prevails.
Mayor Monroe, previous to the riot, bad an inter
view with Gen. Baird, asking assistance. Gen. Baird
consented, but the troops came after the disturbance
was over.
The great mass of good citizens lay the whole blame
upon Governor Wells, whom they say provoked it by
his proclamation convening the '64 Convention.
The following has just been issued by Mayor Mon
roe:
Whereas, The city is in a state of great agitation
arising out of the riots precipitated by a revolutionary
faction; and whereas, it is absolutely necessary that
order be restored and violence suppressed,
Therefore, I, John T. Monroe, Mayor of the city of
New Orleans, do call on such citizens as are willing to
assist in maintaining the peace to appear at the City
Hall this day at 6 P. M., to be sworn as extra, police
men.
No one not holding my authority will be allowdff to
make any arrests. Ail good citizens, with the excep

“ARCTIC SODA WATER,”
DRAWN THROUGH TUFT’S PATENT FOtTNTAQiS^ WITH CHOICEST FfiUIT
SYRUPS, AT E. W. HARSH & CO.’S,
[From tbe Augusta Constitutionalist.!
Timmons' Foundry ud Machine Shops.
Augusts it slowly but surely pushing forward in tbe
line of mechanical activity and importance. In proof
of this we have but to point to the many important
mechanical interests now In successful operation.
Among the most prominent private interesta in thin
line is that of the foundry and machine ahope,owned by
Hr. Francis E. Timmons, formerly known as the
“Forest City Fonndry,” and conducted by Messrs.
Lufburrow 4 Timmons. The junior partner, Mr.
Timmons, purchased the interest of Hr. Lufburrow
last January, and is now the sole proprietor.
Until yesterday we had no idea of the capacity and
extent ef these works, anil we now take pleasure in
giving them such passing notice as their importance
deserves. Every description of casting, marine and
stationary engines are manufimtored, the quality and
price of which defy competition eiter Nora or Sonth.
In this connection it inay he cproper to add font the
proprietor has now under cofmHeration a proposition
to build machinery for a first class saw mill for a party
in Illinois.
A correct idea of tbe growth of this establishment
can be formed from this fact. & 1862, when pur
chased by Messrs. Lnfbnrrow 4 Timmons, the num
ber of men employed was limited to twelve. The
pay-roll under its present proprietor shows a work
ing force of eighty men, engaged in sis different
branches of business. It is the intention of Mr.
Timmons to increase the capacity of his shop, and for
this purpose the lumber is already cat to erect an
other large building.
Several of our most prominent mechanics and en
gineers were present at the shops yesterday to exam
ine a new 56-liorse power saw mill engine, fitted np
with the hnk motion, and combining all the modern
improvements of vsivc gearing, which was designed
by Mr. Joseph Neal, superintendent of the works.
Those present gave it as their opinion that In design,
finish and capacity, the engine posecaaeij advantages
over any other now in nse, Mr. Neal is an experienced
and Ingenious mechanic, and possesses versatile and
great practical ability. Under his direction the Bath
paper mills were built. Mr. Timmons, Uks Mr. Neal,
ts a practical mechanic, and the conduct of his estab
lishment speaks well fbr Usability. But aatotbs
engine.
Tbe saw mill which the engine in question ia in
tended to op, r ite was built at these worse of a pattern
of original design.
Several of these saw mills are now in operation, the
machinery of which was all made at this establish
ment. Persons who have seen than in operation
pronounce them the best mills in the county. They
will cut twenty thoussnd feet of lumber per day.
The mill and engino now at the works have bean
bnilt for Messrs. Linville 4 Gleason, of Savannah, and
will be operated on the Central Bailroad.
These facts are certainly worthy of public attention
and it ia to’he hoped that oair people will adhere to a
policy which encourages and stimulates Southern en
terprises, and that is to support hotne interests.
w understand that Mr. T. is about to snbmit an
estimate for the building of a steam fire engine for
one of our city companies. He has the ability and
facility to make a first-class engine, end it Is to be
hoped that Augusta will have the honor of having
produced a steam fire engine.
In cfondnrion, we publish the following letter,
.Which speek* for itself:

F. E. TniMOks, Esq., Augusta, Ga.
^Dertr Sir: For the last eight years 1 -have been
closely engaged in the sew mill business, and have
taken pawn to keep myself petted on SB the Improve
ments msde in saw mill machinery. I can safely say
that tbe engine and saw mill I have of your make,
is the beat 1 have yet seen. The arrangement for
moving carriage h—a forth, together with
Burrow’s improved beadlocka. Is Just the thing. I
think it Impossible to make any improvement upon
It We cut to-day ten (ID) thousand feet of one inch
boards in seven (7) hours. The-mill and engine give
perfect satisfaction in every particular.
