On Monday morning, about the break of day,
we got a slight breeze from the east north-
esifh but before, long that had died away,
and so'we came rdlling^n^bver the bine un
ruffled wares, sleeping, reading, smoking,
solaced at intervals by cooling drinks, and
entertained by intelligent conversation. Our
time had been well chosen, for the moon was
at the full, and during the evenings we all
sat on deck till far into the night, and song,,
and dnet, and story, and merry jest went
around.
Among the passengers was a. woman of
Indian descent, frpm Brooklyn. N- Y., whose
history has an firof romance worthy of men
tion. She came to Savannah not long since
to meet her husband, and on arriving there
heard that ha had been killed at St. John’s
river, on board a little steamer- He wash
bright mulatto, about twenty-three years of
age, born at Nova Scotia. She was married
to the colored man at Charleston, S. C., in
November Iasi. She is the granddaughter
of David Teachman, a chief of the Baj^&ridSe
tribe of Indians, who formerly li^eifm Ser
Jersey. How her husband met--hi* death
has never been satisfactorily determined. In
some scuffle or fight on board the little steam
boat, far up the St. John's, he met his death,
went overboard, and will neverjfell the stoiy
of his fate. A man was arrested ip Jackson
ville, but nobody appearing agate at him lie
was discharged. Many ladies listened with
interest to this woman’s Story, and she wad
not suffered to go without substantial proofs
of their sympathy.
Altogether the voyage was pleasant. On
the afternoon of Monday we got a sfefcl
breeze. We gathered under the awning bn.

is « radical electioneering trick, got up to
divert the attention of the people from the
real issues of the fell campaign. J,It is the
old dodge of “bleqdmg Kansas” in a new
form. .

Radical slang e£ which the oeontiy heard so
much before -the rebellion and ofjWhiqh we
are all so heartily sick. ' It is^the sort of lan
guage that has cost us one civil war and may
yet lead to another. Of course there are no
fimts that in the slightest degree • justify it.
In troth the riots seem to bate, b»So wilfully
and asalicioasly provoked by, the Radicals
themselves. They made an >attempt~to re
vive the dead Louisiana Convention of 1801,
in order to enfranchise the negroes and dis
franchise ex-rebels; but this Convention
would not, of itself, have Caused a riot. • The
Radicals, however, not ofily illegally called
the Convention, and thus created a division
in the (Hate government and a conflict be
tween the State and national authorities, btit
they sent armed'bands of negroes parading
around the streets. During these parades
the negroes, many of whom werJ intoxicated,
crowded and pushed against 'the white spec
tators, and the natural result was a street
fight. A white mob endeavored to disperse
the negro mob, and- the negroes'marched
into the building, in which the Convention
met and made that their clfedel, firing npon
tho people from the windows. This would
have caused a riot in Now ’York, Boston or
Philadelphia: No wonder, then, ffiat'hlood-
shed was the consequence inNew Orleans.

their element daring the long war of the re
bellion, when the people bad no time to
scrutinize their conduct carefully. But when
peace was declared the Radicals fell, them
selves doomed. Their mbmanagenfenV of
^tjeculations, defalcations,
deficiencies, comptiomr and jobs could no
longer be concealed. They managed, there
fore, to raise another cloud of dust by forcing
a quarrel with the President and reuewing
the oM shouts of “Copperhead and “rebel.”
But before the session Of Congress closed
they found themselves compelled to adopt
President’s general policy and to admit
own State. Thus, with ihe fall elections
approaching and: the country clamoring for
reform aud union, the Radicals saw that a
nStesoufce of excitement must be discovered
or they would be lost The Memphis riots
suggested the means, and, as charge, the
was regularly arranged. A war be-
_ £agks»Rfe the South, it was argued,
would eoidhtei President Johnson and
would again arouse the war feeflBgf Bt the
North. Uuder this pressure the Jail elec

suffrage might, perhaps, be obtained during
' «i war fever.- Secretary Stanton was or-
red by the Radicals to n^nain In the Cabi

Radical Congressmen refused to vote for ap-
propfiatioDS for Southern improvements on
the ground that the negroes would shortly
rebel against “their oppressors” and would
then destroy these public work*. - With this

The following interfcttng passages are ex
tracted from late foreign fifes: : '
Dr. Cumming lectured at Halifax, England:
lately, on the “Signs of the Times,Tbe
lecturer did not claim to be a prophet, but
expressed his belief that these were solemn
and startling times, and that the world Wax
on the point of great events. The great fide*
of prophecy seem to intersect the year.
The world, he believed, • wonld not be de-‘.
' stroyed, but would endure forever in a more
purified and exalted state, -Though he Wm
unable to explain the increase of Romanism
m England, he believed tbe heart af tbe
eountry was still true ta Protestantism, In
1792 there were 5,000 priests in Pifrls. Inst
though the population of the city i«d dou
bled itself since that tiihe, there were now
900 priesi3 only in Paris. He believed the
Saturday evening of the world was very near,
and that on tbe Sabbath of a thousand years,
which were at hand there wojtid pe a
snurise which would experience u£ Western
declension. 5 - •
The following sketch by a Madrid corres
pondent' tells a sad tale for the late insur
gents :
“At last the twenty-one victims were
ranged in fife at about a yard’s distance ffoffi
a low clay wall, with their backs to the sol
diers. aud then the discharge took place.
Nearly all of them fall. At that moment tbe
Hermanos de la Caridad, or B^i^utes Of
Charity, rushed forward to save at feast a
few, but were repulsed by the troops, and
tbe firing went on and more than two hun-
dred shots were fired. What a sight! I saw
one man raise himself three times and Tall
again on his knees, with his arms extended
in a dtheafon from which a piercing voice
was heard to shriek in tha midst of the mas
sacre, ‘Federico! FedericoS’. The soldiers
then approached the corpses, turned some of
them over with their fort; and still perceiv
ing some signs of- life here and there dis
charged a last shot point blank. All was
then over. Tbe bodies were tbnwrejWpM.
tumbrils, and tbe regiments fifed off, xnv P-*
an sir from Norma, some to one from Semf"
ramide. Thirty more are to be shot in a day
or two, all soldiers; the civilians wjll come
after ■”
The Rome correspondent of an English
paper says of the Pbpe in a recent cere
mony ; “He looked very pale and thin; his
Hue voice was weakand, in iutoning tbe
belief, he was obliged to stop after the first
word's to take breath.”
The Princess of Wales, who seems to be
royally energetic, and dally becomes more
popular (as she has need to be to counteract
the unfavorable impressions left by the
habitually brusque and discourteoqs man
ner of the Prince.) has ]nst laid the founda

Two daughters of John Van Buren were
recently presented to the Princess of Wales,
which is considered as equivalent to being
introduced to Queen Victoria, the Princess
receiving all company in tbe name of her
mother-in-law. tliftt.RiQ Van Bu
ren girls did not gerxo See the--widow, as
that would Jiave afforded tlUH an opportunity
to behold their father’s firffiftme. It will be
remembered that when MjBUn Van Buren
was President, bis son vUit&England, where
tie upset aifetocralic English propriety by a
dashing flirtation with Miss Guelph. Victoria
remembered John Van Buren until her mem
ory was clouded by the burly German, Al
bert, inspiring her with anewfewa - Victoria
is now a widow and a recluse in a Court vis
aed by the bloomiug daughters of her old
flame.

“After mkfeight, in the all night session of
Friday and Saturday a wild scene was pre

hours of Friday night, the customary feasts the cotionsts have
had been prepared by various subordinate
officers. In the rooms of the Postmaster and
Doorkeeper extensive hospitalities, had been
displayed—lavish lunches, with every de
sirable potable with which to wash down the
charming viands Such good cheer had evi

We had a conversation with Mr. John Laos,
lately arrived from Cordova valley. He was
one of the twenty-six colonist* arrested by
the Liberals aud detained some Weeks in
custody. He say* that the Liberal fifeoetral,
Figarto, wo« with some troop* ia the valley,
sioehing around, eating and drinking at the
expense of his noble friends, tha American
colonist*, whom he so loved that ho made: an:
appoiulmeot to speak to them at some public
place upon the condition of affairs, upon the
good’ Wishes aud.;gifnturns of biaGomm-
menr towarefetbten, Wnd : hpuo topics of mu
tual interest, and when they had collected
and were waiting, he surrounded aad had
them seized by his band, and seized their
properly, rifled their pockets, drove off their
.stock and sold their agricultural implements.
After thus disposing of ail their available pro-
l>erty he marched them to Estsclaw, across
the little Jalapa, across the Itio Ban Domingo
to a rancho, to another rancho to Tustapeck,
and to the liio Grande, maielring over moun
tains, and waning rivers and across deserts
until hi* shoes were completely wore out, his
strength exhausted and bis patieuce ex
hausted, aud his colobfel expectations and
aspirations vanquished.
Once the prisoners were drawn np to be
shot, but the firing of gnns near by inter
rupted the little interesting proceeding, and
Near the Bio Grande they
were' antejtgjncd by Mr. Joseph Sonblet, a
Creole from New Orleans, who furnished
them food and transportation from his runehsa
across the lakes aud arms of Bianco Bay.
Figaixo’s band sent them to Gen. Garcia’s
command. This latter General gave them
transportation to Vera Cruz, where Mr. Lane
arrived hatless and barefooted. To say
Mr. Lape is don? with Mexico and Mexicans;
that he considers that people the repository
of all the surplus treachery of the world, con
veys bnt a very faint idea of bis disgost with
his Mexican experience. He was a prisoner
about fear weeks, and in that time marched
hundreds of miles afoot in the broiling sun
for accepting an invitation to listen to -a
speech, front a Mexican General. He. repre
sents Garcia aa the only native gentleman he
met. Thinks Max is playing out feat. He
is sending specie trains to- Verit Cruz daily,
illionsof dollars. Thinks
chance to maka plenty of
fun but little money. He tried it a year and
sunk all his means, and has returned to Texas
tq stay.

other from New York, were complacently
devouring an early breakfast sp ro *d in grand

Others were reetiuiog in thsirchairs or spread

ot Morpbcus. The sofas were all occupied.
Radicals and Copperheads for the time, forgot
ali differences, and were curiously intenntn-

some gracefully disposed in easy altitudes,
and others doubled up like victims of a severe
