From Philadelphia.
DELEGATES LEAVING.
Harmonious Throughout.
READING Oh THE ADDRESS.
Radicals and Southerners Fraternizing
Philadelphia, Aug. 17.—Many of the delegates of
he Convention left last evening; fop balance leave
The proceedings throughout were most har
monious. Not a single event to mar the good feeling.
The address, but not the resolutions, was written by
Henry J. Raymond. It is merely the resolutions
elaborated. During its reading, for a time almost
breathless silence prevailed. The President requested
the delegates and spectators to manifest ho sign of
reading was completed. This request secured quiet
until the speaker arrived at the following paragraph:
And the ten millions of Americans who live in tiie comes more promptly
South would be nuworthy citizens of a free Common
wealth, degenerate sons of an heroic ancestry, unfit
ever to become guardians of the rights and principles
bequeathed to us by our fathers and founders of tfie
Republic, if they could accept with uncomplaining
submission the humiliations thus sought to be im
posed upon them.”
The entire audience then broke forth in an unrestrain
ed burst of applause, which lasted for several minutes.
At the conclusion of this euthusiasm a demand was
made that the paragraph quoted be read over again,
which was assented to, and again the applause broke
forth with redoubled effect.
The Press Club and Press met last night, at which
Radicals and Southerners fraternized, and hilarity
prevailed.

been very easy for Benedek to repulse the

Bohemia through the passes leading from
I'Sony, Silesia and Glatz. This he did not
attempt to elo, because Saxony was not to be

other federal troops. As the Bavarian force
that had been promised did not make their
appearance, Benedek resolved to act on the
deteusive. and, if possP'Je, to prevent a junc-
lu, “ between the two armies which were op-
P"-nJ to him. Unfortunately the strength

been engaged for her at the hotel. After a
quiet and strictly private dinner, she was
called upon by Judge Stan berry, Acting Sec
retary of State, who. in a brief speech, con
gratulated her on her safe arrival at the capi
tal of the Union, and stated that the Presi
dent of the United States had been informed
of her Majesty's arrival, and who would be
pleased to give her an audience at the Execu
tive Mansion at any time best suited to her
convenience.
Her Majesty made a brief response, saying
that she would be most nappy to meet the
President of the United States at an early
date, and thanked the people whom she had
met for their kindly greetings.
The Fifth Cavalry band was .stationed on
the comer of Fourteenth’ street and Penn

patriotic and operatic airs, her Majesty made
her appearance at the balcony, which was
the signal for rapturous applause.
A request was sent by the Queen that the
band sbonld play the “ Red, W nite and Blue;’’
and when they had complied with her wish,
she rewarded them with a beautiful bouquet
of flowers. The baud. then, with exquisite
taste, played “ God Save the Queen,” which
was followed by the national air of the ‘13tar-
spangled Banner.” The crowd then slowly
dispersed.— Washington Republican, 13th.

Apolitical struggle, rarely suipassed iu
So soon as the President shall receive a
final report from General Sheridan coveiing
answers to certain specific interrogatories in
regard to the origin and extent of the lute
riot in New Orleans, the whole correspon
dence in regard to that affair will be given to
the public. It will then appear that tbe
charge of the radical press that Sheridan’:
dispatches have been garbled is wholly un
founded.
It seems to. be tbe impression of gentle
men from different Southern States that tbe
cotton crop tbe present season will fall far
short of the estimate given by tbe newspa
pers of the North. The chief difficulty
ssems to have been tbe poor quality of seed
planted. From the best and most reliable
source I have been able to gather the whole
crop will not exceed one million five hundred
thousand bales. That will make about one
third ot tbe crop realized previous to tbe
war.

Henby A. Wise on the Chubches.—Ex.
Governor Wise delivered a very remarkable
address in Norfolk the other day for the bene
fit of the Southern churches devastated by
the war. He took the grounds, while allud
ing to the late rebellion, which we have
heard before from other sources—but which
have been adopted for the first time by any
Southern orator—that the war was brought
about by the aot of God for the destruction
of slavery, and, taking this view of the sub
ject, Governor Wise argues that no one should
be punished for aeta committed according to
the dispensations of Heaven. Gov. Wise
said:—
He is, I fear, an infidel who doesn't see
that the fire and sword of this war wero sent
from heaven. God knew that we could be
torn away from our black idol of slavery only
by fire and blood and the drawn sword of the
destroying angel of war. He sent them, and
we ought to praise the Most High that he did
not send worse plagues, like those of Egypt,
against whatever weakness or wickedness we
clung .to like Fharoah. But I appeal to
Christian charity, and to every known law,
whether individual citizens and persons ought
to be vindictively punished by man or gov
ernment for the acts of Sovereign States and
and the inevitable interposition of Divine
Providence.

the crop affairs in 8outh-weateni Georgia, eays ~ ^
“The general information I have been able to gather
concerning the cotton crop in South-western Georgia,
in passing through the counties of Dougherty, Mitch
ell, Baker, Miller, Early, Clay and Calhoun is
there was a large breadth of land planted in cotton-
stands generally fair. Some lands remain uncultivated
for want of labor, to what extent I am not sufficiently
informed to state; sotoe lands planted, for want of pro
per management, will make very little; on some placeh
planters having abandoned a part of the crop, and a
few places being abandoned altogether. These causes
combined will lessen the crop of this region; but all
things considered, _ am of the opinion that morethan
half the usual crop of Cotton of this region w|m be
made this year.”

A Rothschild"* Home.
The Paris correspondent of the Morning Star has
apparently been a guest at Baron James Do Roths-
schild’s princely chateau at Ferrieres, and he thus de
scribes what he saw there:
You enter by a flight of marble steps a vestibule,
which opens on one of the most spacious halls in Eu
rope, furnished, however, as a reception room and
lighted from the roof, which is of muffied glass, from
behind which at night a system of gas illuminates the
vast space, somewhat as has been so successfully car
ried out at the Chatelet. A gallery runs round the
upper part of the hall on which suites of party rooms
open, while on the ground floor the reception aud
family apartments open on the hall.
Purple velvet portiers have an admirable effect at
each end of this splendid salle, which has been con
structed on the most perfect acoustic principles, the
result of which is, that the effect of unis executed
here is narvclqo^ * Ordinary paper tadgings are
banished, and eaoh room is hung with' tapanry, velvet
or silk. Every single visitor finds at his disposal a
suite consisting of a splendid drawing room, boudoir,
bed room and dressing room. On every dressing
room table are the ordinary contents of a gorgeous
dressing case—two brushes, surmounted by the
Baron's coronet; silver boxes, containing every spe
cies of cosmetiQue, Qtwdre de riz, Ac.; exquisite hand
mirrors, mounted in sculptured ivorv, sandal wood or
silver. Curiosity tempts even old bachelors. A scent
bottle of rare workman ship attractad my attention.
As the spring flew back, lo! a jewelled watch, by
Breqnt, was revealed, encased in the top—so, while a
fair lady inhales tike perfumed contents, she is in*
formed of the time of day. To mention that hot and
cold water pipes are laid on so as to supply eaoh dress
ing room i9 superfluous, and a mere “detail” in an
abode where the most thoughtful care has presided
over the minutest arrangement To describe the
thrones taken from the.. Summer Palace at Pekin, the
jeweled caps from Cellini’s crystal breakers from
Venice, the hangings of broidered satin—green, by-
the-by, in the Baron’s own bedroom—is verily beyond
my inflect, and I hesitate not to assert that Mene-
mesqro herself would be puzzled to tell the half of all
the treasures of art congregated in each single room,
it is a positive relief to go out into the grouuds,
where one’s power of attention has fewer calls on it.
These said grounds are reached through a series of
conservatories and he* fceqaee, &pi#nes with the
loVtiest moss, and fillsd l*y Ifofa’s choicest gifts, as
well as by the rarest specimens of the sculptor’s art,
and enlivened by the bright-winged birds of the trqp-.
ica. These conservatories may, indeed, be said to' 1
rival in beauty, if not in extent, those of far-famed
Chastworth. The grounds are diversified by sheets of
water, on which Ikiry boats continually ply, and ren
dered interesting by the number of yaks, gazelles,
antelopes, elands and foreign animals of all harmless
species, which roam at their own sweet will, evidently
enjoying this Eden as thoroughly as in their own na
tive places. In the absence of himself and his family,
the Baron’s guests are entertained by a repast that
would have done honor to Vatel himself. The Baron’s
cellar contributes fhe finest Madeira in Europe to the
enjoyment of hM friends, and that with a truly prince
ly abundance.

they are organized and officered as State mi

freed men. The echoobhouses of the blacks
are burned, and their white teachers subjec

arson by cheers for Andy Johnson and exe

The purpose of forcing representatives of
the Rebel States into Coogress, in defiance
of the loyal 'oath, by Presidential fiat and
military power, is openly avowed, with
threats that those who resist it shall be treat

Aa Old View ot CmpaUla, Matrimony
Suggested.
The Richmond Times thus discourses of
an old Babylonish custom. In this ancient
city, it seems, there annually took place an
auction of all unmarried ladies, exclusive of
widows. In every district, all the marriage
able maidens were required to assemble on a
certain day, to be aactioned off. The most
beautiful were first put up and knocked down
to the highest bidder. The second in per
sona) appearance followed, and the bidders
gratified themselves with handsome wives
according to tbe depth of their love and the
length of their purses. But, unfortunately,
Babylon, like the cities of modem times, was
not exempt from some ladies who had little
claim to personal beauty—in plain words,
wore very ugly. Still these homely damsels
could not be permitted by tbe laws of the
State to remain single; they had to marry,
nolens volens, as no old maids were allowed in
Babylon. Some disposition bad therefore to
be made for them, and as nobody was likely to
bid money on, or marry them for their good
looks, see what an admirable arrangement
the Babylonians bad for securing them hus
bands. They took the money which arose
from the auction of the pretty girls, and
endowed the ugly ones each with such a
sum as would induce some oue to offer
himself as a husband. The pnblic crier
offered them at first with a small sum
of money, which was increased it it was
fouud that no one would take them at that
figure, and they were at length knocked
down and adjudged to the man who would
be satisfied with the least. In this way the
money arising from the sale of tbe posses
sors of beauty, served as a portion to those
who were either of disagreeable looks or had
other imperfections. The pretty girls were
knocked down to the highest bidders, and
the ugly ones to the lowest, just as govern
ment contracts are let to responsible indi
viduals who will perform the required work
upon me lowest terms.
The custom to which we have alluded pre
vailed in Babylon about five hundred years
before Christ, and continued down to tbe
latest period of which we hav.e any authentic
information. It is said to have been very
popular among ail .clattes of people, and to
have secured good hdniands and faithful and
affectionate wives.
It such a custom obtained amoDg us no
body would need go unmarried, because, at
any of the auction houses of this city he
might every day pick up a great bargain in a
wife, and if site happened to be ugly she
would bring a dowry that would greatly help
him iu his business, and more tbau compen
sate for her homeliness. This would be a
fine way to raise money these hard times,
and many a man who is now paying ten per
cent, a month had-no doubt rather take an
ugly wife than pay such enormous interest
upon money.
Gen. Eably.—A correspondent of the
Louisville Courier, writing from Toronto,
Canada, says:
'Gen. Early arrived here a few days since,
from Halifax, by which route he had come
from Cuba and Mexico. He looks os well as
when I saw him contemplating the dome of
the Capitol from Frank Blair's lawn in July,
1864, notwithstanding his extensive travels
by hoiseback from Lynchburg to Gaveston,
and thence, by vessel to Mex co and here,
as stated. It will be gratifying to those who
take an interest in the truth - of history to
know that General|Early has written a nara-
tive of his operations during tbe last year of
the war, including his services with General
Lee's army from the Rapidan to the James,
and bis campaign into Maryland and in tbe
Shenandoah Valley against Sheridan. His
manuscript is very nearly ready for the press,
and wilt make, exclusively of maps, an oc
tavo pamphlet ot about one hundred pages;
General Early declining to vakpst a source
bf profit, will pdWish it at : ms own expense
as a contribution to bistory. It will create
a sensation, and will be very readable.”
Sad Accident in Cuthbwv.—The Con
struction Train on the Fort Gaines Branch of
the South-Western Road, ran ov«r Charles
Rogers, a deaf and dumb man, a few hun
dred yards from tbe depot at Cuthbert on
last Saturday morning.
Poor Rogers was horribly mutilated, and
died in a short time in great paiq. Rogers
was walking on the track, and when discov
ered, the whistle was blown, which, he
being entirely|deaf, of coarse, did not bear.
Mr. Horace Powers, who happened to be aa
the train, looked ont and saw that it
Rogers, and so informed the engineer, Vbeh
the engine was immediately reversed, and the
breaks put on ; bnt it was ton late, and tbe
cars could not be stopped till they had passed
the body about ten feet.
Tbo unfortunate man leaves a family and
several children iu indigent circumstances;
and an effort will be made to secure tor them
support from tbe Railroad Company.—M<£,

good ? Does no! /every candid mind mm perceive,
that looks back to tbe thirty years’ history qf aeeeWioB,
that it was a war of eectlone that eras gtadnally krvof b*
to the issue and trial of battle, by the ambition of a few
political leaders who availed themselves of the differ
ence in the great common interests North and Sooth,
which had prevailing sway over the nfinds
of the masses in the two sections to produce the belief
that there was an irreconcilable iocomyatflnlity be
tween them, rendering separation inevitable ? Every
body* knows that 1 the rtf ##ro> multitudes of en
thusiasts on bofli tide* who .urged on this, quarrel,
under the delusion that it was a mere matter of dis
cussion, which would be terminated by pewesable sep
aration, or pass off like otner political questions, by a
collapse of the inflammatory feelings incited by debate.
All such disputants and the great body of the people
were taken by surprise on the outbreak of the war,
organized by the secret cabal of conspirators. But
when the war came, hi spite of all appeals of sober-
minded patriots to stay its fifty—when the thunder of
cannon had begun, what could the lovers of peace in
either section do ibut submit to the force wltu Which
they were surrounded in the States to which they be
longed ? General Lee said to my father, when he was
sounded by him, at the request ol President Lincoln,
about taking command of our army against the ye-
belli op, then hanging up n the 1 decision of the Vir
ginia Uonvention, ‘♦Air. Blair, f look upon secession ae
anarchy. If f owned the four millions of slaves in
the South, I would sacrifice them. all to the Union;
bnt how can I draw my sword npon Virginia, my na
tive State ?” . He could not determine then ; said he
would consult with J»is friend Geq. Scott, aud fpsnt
on the same day to Richmond, .probably to arbitrate
difficulties ; and we see (be result, ft ia hard for a
noble mind to tear itself {Wmr hdme, kindred, friends
and native soil, and go into opposite ranks te crush
them all. This was the case of Stephens as well as
Lee. It was the case of nearly every- elevated soul
in the South when the Government of the United
Statet, delinquent in ail its duties, had failed to make
preparations arrest violence at the outbreak, and
cure the phreuzy by binding it in the beginning, and
prevent its rnnning on until it became a sectional
war, and, in effect, a national war, in its influences
on the people of both sections, who were brought to
consider the success of the one the subjugation of tho
other.
As the South grew weaker, and began to stagger un
der the heavy blows of the gigantic North, all her
brave spirits rallied to her support Even the slaves
were moved by natural instinct, for when all the white
men, young and old, had left their homes, their wo
men and children to be protected and fed by their
superior strength, they would not desert to our con
quering army as it marched through the shrinkinn
South, bnt fled with its panic-stricken flttnilies, and
gave them aid and comfort. Iu this did not the blacks
prove themselves a loyal people? Would not the
white man have proveu himself a recreant if,under
such circumstances, be had gone over to the invaders 2
When the affairs of the South were Absolutely desper
ate, and President Ltocofn had sent a message invit
ing peace ou terms that Mr. Davis at one time seemed
inclined to take, the commissioners appointed by
him—Huuter, Stephens, and Campbell—were all anx
ious to conclude the war on the terms our President
proposed. These gefltlemen were for union and.
peace. Mr. Davis, who hail in charge the cause of the
South, insisted on independence. Could the commis
sioners violate the trust which, according to the shape
given by events to the cause they represented, and
which they were hound to oousiuer that of a whole
people, was committed to Mr. Davis? Could they
take upon themselves to say it was treason, and com
mit all that concerned it to the arbitrum ot Mr. Lin
coln ? The aspects to which I allude show that the
spread and continuance of a war puts a new face on
that which, at its inception, was treason. The war
upon King Charles I, in its inception was treses. It
cessed to be treason long before the English Common
wealth was established. Our war for independence,
when the tfrst blood was shed at Lexington, was held
in England to be treason. It theu ceased to be thought
no long before <mr Republic was recognized as a na
tion. History is fall of explanation showing the dis
tinction between violence and wrong.proc- edingfrom
the heart of a community, and that without such war
rant, though springing from the impulse of a multi
tude. The history of all nations proves aWtbat tills
singular alchemy, by which great wars oanTVt great
crimes into pardonable offences and sometimes into
great blessings, is well understood. Jhat ~
will bring good out of the evil of onr ui
flict I most fcincerel^jidpej. but this most
wished for consuniiuatlow can never be acconij
if the patriotic, beuevoftmt -men who sought
veut tbp severance of the Union and avert the
and even those who passed through it, and whose only
f/uilt was in defending their homes and families from
it: calamities, and now seek to restore the Union and
perfect concord, are to be deemed unpardonable of
fenders.
I am, sir. very respectfully, your obedient servant,
M. Blair.

The Alleged Biot at Helena.—The Mem
phis Commercial, of tbe 12th, deoies that
there is any truth at all in the report ot a
riot between tbe whites and negroes at Hel
ena, Arkansas. It says:
Major J. C. Anderson, a practising law
yer of Helena,and who left that town on
Friday evening, called npon ns yesterday,
and authorized ns to say there was no troth
in the report, and tbe only foundation for it
was in the fact that k negro man had a diffi
culty with au inebriated white man, whom
he eventually succeeded in subduing by a
sound thrashing.
