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. FROM EUROPE. BY ATLANTIC CABLE.

It would have been very easy for Benedek to repulse the thread-lipe Prussian columns which entered Bohemia through the passes leading from I'Sony, Silesia and Glatz. This he did not attempt to elo, because Saxony was not to be njaJ t the theatre of war, and his object was !o effect it junction with the Bavarian and 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 ana skill ol the enemy had been as much undent.ted as our own prowess had been °vcirated.

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 sylvania avenue, and after playing several 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.

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. owing- 1 . 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.

Grant has been invited to deliver the address at the Wisconsin State Fair, in Janesville, in September. 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.

The echoobhouses of the blacks are burned, and their white teachers subjec ted to violence and outrage by unchanged Rebels, who relieve the work of murder and arson by cheers for Andy Johnson and exe crations of Congress. \-ib0- 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 ed as Rebels, and a civil war thus kindled throughout the North and West. 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.

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. Montgomery county, Md., Aug. 6, 1866. ' 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.
