A Puutical Portrait.—The Boston Post
thus shows up the past history of some of
Ihe Mouiliern renegades who are prominent
in gelling up the Radical Convention at
Philadelphia, on the 3d proximo :
Tlie immaculate Southern Unionists, who
are in hold a Convention in Philadelphia
next month to aid the Radicals, are like most
nun who pretend to be better than their fel
lows. 'often not quite as good. Stokes was
a furious secessionist and rebel; Jack Hamil
ton, the Houston Telegraph informs us,
“lrom 1853 to 1838, was a most violent se
cessionist, insisting on the recision of the
articles ol annexation ol Texas to the Union,
and seeking support for public office on that
platform. He was thus in favor of secession,
by “separate State action,” before anybody
else in the Sou'h was, in consequence of
Northern aggressions upon the institution of
slavery. About the same time he was openly
and earnestly an advocate of the re-opening
ot the African slave-trade. And last of all,
after the war commenced, he applied to a
leading merchant in Galveston for money to
raise a company for Confederate service!
haunt—the great Southern Unionist and
Radical orator—held a commission in the
rebel army and said the way they served
laukees, when they caught them, was to
™ng them to the first tree. Hahn held a
commission under the Confederate Govern-
tutut, and so on. There is scarcely a man
among these puerists who was not a seces
sionist sometime during the rebellion—who
either encouraged its commencement or sus-
tamed it afterward. This could be forgiven
•licm if they were not so intolerant them
selves and so brazen in their pretensions.
Financial.—The Washington Star says :
la consequence of the amendments made
the tax laws by Congress, and which were
unnecessarily deferred until the last days ol
tn- session, the sixty millions due to the Gov
ernment from the people on account of the
income tax, could not this year be collected
" s heretofore in July, when business is dull,
-mu the drain from circulation but little felt;
™t was necessarily deferred until September,
vuen the active fall trade usually sets in.
*“ e anxiety felt in commercial circles as to
hie embarrassment likely to result from this
f ™se, has been relieved by the official an-
U'lnucement.of Secretary McCulloch -that af-
l ' r the 20 th instant all temporary deposits in
Treasury, except the clearing house cei-
hScatcs, will cease to bear interests. The
I'tiect of this decision will be that the depos
its. which amount to sixty-nine millions, will
1* withdrawn before the clos of the month.
The ten millions of interest due on the first
s «ies of Seven-thirties is now being dis
bursed, which, with the $70,000,000 falling
due on the 27th instant, will make $80,000,-
bw payable out of the Treasury, to effect the
860,000,000 of income tax, payable into the
Treasury, thus adding $20,000,000 to our cir
culation lor business.

supposed to be most competent to do so, as
being cognizant of tbe probability of such au
event soon transpiring.
It is well known that strenuous efforts
have lately been made in Washington, and
interviews have been sought with President
Johnson over and over again, though in a
more quiet manner than formerly, by Charles
O’Conor and many other warm friends of
Mr. Davis, for the purpose of making a final
effort to secure his conditional parole upon
the ground of his continued ill-health.
The pressure which has thus been brought
to bear upon President Johnson, and other
considerations and influences, it is generally
thought, have at last forced him to yield, and
that he will shortly grant Jeff. Davis a parole
on very neatly the same conditions pre
scribed to Clement C. Clay. In fact this is
tbe prevailing opinion here, and many have
remarked, by way of corroboration, that Mrs.
Davis lias appeared more cheerful and lively
since her sudden return from Canada than
was ever before noticed in her usually des
ponding countenance.
The State Road.—We learn from the Car-
tersville Express that one who traveled oyer
this road a year ago would hardly recognize
that it is the same thoroughfare—so great
have been tbe improvements inaugurated un
der the present administration. Governor
Jenkins appears to have been very fortunate
m the selection of Major Campbell Wallace,
as Superintendent, and bis assistant* in all
departments have proven themselves faithful
and persevering officers. The track from
Atlanta to Chattanooga—with the exception
of a few miles on this end of the line, below
Marietta—has been put in thorough order;
several miles of new track have been laid, new
depots have been built, new machine shops,
round house; many new and substantial
bridges; engines and cars renovated, and
everything along the line put in order. The
road is bountifully supplied with wood and
crossties, and everything is working as
smooth as clock-work. These expenditures
have cost vast sums of money, but the reve
nues from the road will, it is believed, be
such as to leave the-pockets of the people un-
bisturbed, and the credit of the State unim
paired.-—Auffvstct Chronicle.
New Boors.—It would hardly be credited
that a little work, published several years
ago, entitled “Universalijm not ot God,
sold to the extent of 80,000 comes. Its au
thor, Mathew Hale Smith, has a new took
nearly ready, ‘ ‘ Mount Calvary, or Medita
tions in Sacred Places,” which will!)® warmly
welcomed by lovers of devotional and de
scriptive reading. It comes from the press
ot Carleton, New York, Who wUl also pub
lish a new book by Hartba Haines Butt Ben
nett, entitled “Pastimes with my Little
Friends.”
The Feeling in Ireland.
We have had James Stephens' bold and
emphatic declaration, made in this country,
that before tbe present year is out the stand
ard of rebellion will again be raised in Ire-
laod.and the British power defied. -It sounds
like an empty boast, but dispassionate ob
servers in Ireland write that such an event
is not at all UDlikely. A Dublin correspond
ent of the New York News writes, August
lltb:
Are tbe repealed declarations of James Ste
phens, relative to tbe imminency of an in-
surrectionaiy movement in Ireland true?
and is it true that tbe members of that con
spiracy, against which the British Govern
ment have dealt such vigorous aud crashing
blows, have not yet abandoned the intention
of speedily trying their fortunes on the field
of battle ? are the first question which I
would wish to be permitted to discuss. I
desire to answer them chiefly because these
are points on which public opinion has un
dergone a remarkable change, ana the con
sideration of which is materially affected by
certain recent developments among tbe
brotherhood. It is a serious matter to say,
but j would be trifling with the facts were I
to Conceal from your readers that among
those possessing peculiar opportunities for
forming a correct judgment on the matter
there is but one opinion, and that opinion is
that before the world is six months older,
there will be a great deal of bloodshed and
confusion in Ireland. Let there be no mis
take about it. There is a body of men here,
numerically small, perhaps, io proportion to
tbe population, hut active, resolute and un
scrupulous, determine^ at all cost and at all
hazards to come to blows with the British
Government before many, mouths. They
are not the best portion of our population,
nor the wisest, nor, I am convinced, the
most patriotic; they form just the nucleus
of tbe great organization which crumbled
away before the action of the authorities or
fell to pieces through internal dissensions and
distrust.
They meant to fight iu September last, and
in each succeeding month up to February.
That they did not attempt something of tbe
kind has been to me always a matter of sur
prise ; that they will attempt it shortly there
is little reason to doubt. It must be remem
bered that these men were baulked, not
beaten. Believe'me, James Stephens means
what be says, and so do thousands of bis fol
lowers here. They are resolved on taking
up arras and sounding the tocsin of war be-
fore|1866 has expired ; but never wa9 there
a more suicidal aud hopeless contest than
hat’^struggle will be. The belief that tbe
conspiracy will never again attain its former
proportion in Ireland may be incorrect,
though I do not think so.
Expected Release of Mb. Davis.—Fort
Monroe, August 25.—Tbe impression stead-
ily gains ground* here that Jefferson Davis
will soon be released from bis long imprison
ment. This impression, however, is not
produced by any action that has as yet been
taken by tbe Government that could be con
strued as a preliminary to bis release, but it
is merely the result of a frequent expression ......

A jury of twelve, composed of old and prominent
citizens of the city and country, were then appointed
to try the murderer and his accomplices. A commit
tee of five citizens were then appointed to guard the
jaiL The committee |hen adjourned to the city park
for trial.
The immense crowd then began to move toward the
park, aud for the space of one hour it was almost im
possible to cross Tenth street, so dense was the crowd.
Soon a space of twenty feet in circumference in the
center of the park was cleared, and a rope stretched
around the space to prevent porsons from coming
within the circle; but so anxious were they to bear the
testimony that they paid no attention to the rope.
Some fifteen or twenty policemen were then put on
duty, and, after much difficulty, succeeded in keeping
tbe crowd outside until the trial commenced.
The committee appointed to guard the jail were
ordered to bring the prisoners, Casper Friedrick
Dircks and his accomplices, Bichard P. Ford aud Se
bastian Deitcb, from iheir cells to the park. Wit
nesses were then sent for, and the trial was had as
closely under the forms of the law ah circumstances
would permit Lawyers for the prosecution and de
fense were selected, and the arrangements for the trial
commenced. ****•&
After the examination of witnesses, the counsel on
each side reviewed the evidence, and tho case went to
the jury.
The jury, after retiring for consultation, returned
and brought in a verdict of wilful murder against Cas
per Dircks, and recommended that Sebastian Deltch
and Richard P. Ford be remanded to jail for further
trial before the District Court.
A proposition was then made to hang Dircks imme
diately, but, upon the request of many citizens, a
respite was granted until 6 o’clock P. M., and at 2>£
o’clock the prisoners were taken back to the jail.
Workmen immediately commenced the erection of a
scaffold on the Court House square, and preparations
were made for the awfnl finale.
Rev. H. T. Davis, of the Methodist church, attended
the prisoner in his cell, and gave him the last cousola-
tiont that religion can offer.
At 6 o’clock the prisoner was brought and placed
upon the platform, and a prayer offered by Kev. Mr.
Davis. Dircks then said, taking hold of the noose :
“Holding as I do this rope, which is to send me into
eternity, I declare that I am guilty of the larceny ; but
of murder I am not.’I He was afterwards asked sev
eral times if he knew who killed tlia boy. He re
plied that he did not. He then said, “May God have
mercy on my soul! ” and the drop fell. He struggled
a few moments, and all.was over.
The following items concerniim his past life, he
gave us an hour before he was launched into eternity:
He said: “I was born in Germany; am 27 years old;
the son of respectable pareuts; ran away from homo,
came to America, entered the regular army, aud
served five years under Col. Robert Lee. At the out
break of the rebellion raised a company in the G5th
Illinois, with the commission of 1st lieutenant. Last
September was mustered out of service as lieutenant
colonel. Was a member of Andy Johuson’s body
guard in Tennessee, and accompanied him from that
State to Washington.”

Profits of Northern Manufacturer*
[From the Columbus Enquirer.)
The great evil attending thw old plantation system
of the South, was that the business of raising cotton
and investing in lands and negroes so much engaged
Ike attention of our people that they paid no regard to
the other means of thrift aud prosperity at their com
mand. They did not even make aJl that they could
make out of their cotton—no, not tbe half of it. Con
tent with raising the staple, they permitted others to
avail themselves of the great profits attending its
manufacture. That these profits were very great,
have abundant evidence in the wealth of the “ lords ol
the loom,” and the value of stock in their factories.
We have recently published some startling facts show
ing the large dividends declared of late by the cotton
manufacturers, and now we have some reports of sales
of stocks in manufacturing establishments, that bear
equally strong evidence of the enormous profits of this
business. There is no other investment in any busi
ness of the country now so valuable. Some petroleum
stocks may be as good or better, but these are rare
and liable to depreciatjop at any time; whereas the
business of cotton manufacturing is one of established
safety aud stability. *
Introducing the accounts of sales of stock, above
alluded to, the Memphis Appeal says : “ It has been
amply demonstrated In the Northern States, that in
the manufacture of, say brown sheetings or shirtings,
yard is equivalent to one hundred per cent, on the
capital stocknmployed, and so on. ret this is notori
ously a small profit with those engagfil in cotton spin
ning and weaving at present in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island. This is apparent from the market
value of the stocks in the principal manufacturing
companies in that section, which, be it noted, are so
valuable as rarely ever to be on tale, and then only in
case of death of the holder, dissolution of partnership
or other similar causes, which makes Bale by auction
inevitable for purposes of partition or settlement
In a late number of the United States Economist
and Dry Goods Reporter, it is stated that at recent
sales shares in the following companies brought the
large prices respectively quoted, viz :
Mass. Cotton Mills (par value $100j, 997 %
Middlesex Mauuf. Co., “ 214@215
Lawrence Manuf. Co., “ 92*^
Merrimac Manuf. Co., “ 1.315
Androscoggin Mills, “ 185
Pepperell Manuf. Co., “ 1,105
Pacific Mills, “ 2,012^(0;2,015
Nashua Manuf. Co., ** 75U(o>765
Stark Mills, “ 1,275
Chicopee Manuf. Co., “ 275
Salisbury Manuf. Co., “ 270)£
Bott Cotton Mills, *‘ 1.080
Laconia Manuf. Co., “ 1,200
Amoskeag Manuf. Co., “ 1,312%
Great Falls Manuf. Co., “ 215
Let any one weigh a yard of the ordinary brown
muslins on sale in this city, and estimate approxi
mative^ what it must cost to fabricate it, and a good
idea of the profit may be formed by comparing what
was paid the manufacturer for it. It is now known
that the early manufacturers in New England used to
make brown cottons, weighing about four ounces to
the yard, with cotton at 25 cts. per pound, at the cost
of 10 ots. to the yard, for which for years they re
ceived at tbe mills from 30 to 40 cents. That is a
profit of 600 per cent, at 30 cents. .It was this fact
which created seven (j-eix cotton factories within the
scope ot thirty miles around Providence. Rhode
Island.
The sum of one thousand dollars invested in a
stock pays 100 per cent, and constantly reinvested
at once, is all can see at a glance, becomes over a mil
lion in ten years. Paying 200 per cent the million is
reached in a little over six years—and at 310 per oent.,
within five years.
It would appear that nothing could be more simple
or certain than the calculation which capitalists
are able to make preliminary to any investment, of
the character we would urge upon them as prospec
tively so profitable, while fraught with immeuse ad
vantage to the future of their, city, end of course the
improvement in value of their other property aud in
vestments. The cost of buildings, machinery, coal
and labor can be ascertained with sufficient accurary
to enable any one to reach a fair idea of the possible
profits, leaving a wide margin foi* contingent ex
penses. If this is thoroughly investigated, we are
satisfied if will open out a field of greater richness for
our capitalists than any as yet known to to them.
Pabsons on Promissory Notes.—A pub
lishing house advertised in a city journal,
“Parsons on Promissory Notes;” referring
to which the editor aemarked: “There are
a few parsons whose notes, not to speak of
their indorsements, are not of much account
in Wall street.” “And this,” says the Knick
erbocker, reminds ns of a remark once made
by the late John Sanderson, the witty author*
of “The American in Paris,” touching cer
tain unnegotiable clerical “paper” which he
keld: “They will take the minister’s word
unquestioned, every Sunday, for the eternal
future, but won’t take his note, with only
ninety days to run!”

and good faith 6f a free people. In my opinion, the
people of the United States are to make republicanism
illustrious among the nations by establishing tbe fact
that the securities of a republican government are tbe
safest of all securities, add that the people who impose
taxes upon themselves are the most jealous of their
national credit.
1 do oof, howevever, disgaise the fact that .great
financial difficulties are still to be overcome; that our
present prosperity is rather apparent than real ^ that
we are measuring values by a false standard; that we
are, in fact, exposed to all the dangers which attend
an inflated, an irredeemable currency, which dimin
ishes labor—the true source of national Wealth—and
stimulates speculation and extravagance, which lead
invariably to thriftlessness and demoralization. "Be
fore the country becomes again really prosperous, the
specie standard mast be restored, prices reduced, In
dustry stimulated, the products of tho country in
creased, the balance of trade between the United
States and other nations cease £p be against us; all the
great interests of the coUniry cared for and protected
by wise aud impartial legislation, and a'l sections of
the country be brought again into harmonious aud
practioal relations with the General Government.
That the country will be again thus really prosper
ous is as certain as anything in the future. That it
should be so at an early day, that too, without a finan
cial crisis, it is only necessary that there should be
proper legislation by Congress, economy in the public
expenditures, and fidelity on the part of those who
are entrusted with the management of tho public
revenue.
Trusting that you will pardon mo for writing so
long a letter in acknowledging the receipt of your very
courteous invitation, I remain, very truly,

Remarkable Escapes o f Eminent Men.
Some years ago a young man, bolding a subordinate
position in the East India service, twice attempted to
deprive himself of life by snapping a loaded pistol at
his head. Each time the pistol missed fire. A friend
entered his room shortly afterward, when he requested
him to fire it out of the window; it then went off with
out auy difficulty. Satisfied thus that the weapon had
been duly primed and loaded, the young man sprang
up* exclaiming, “I must be preserved for something
great!” aud from that moment gave up the idea of
suieide, which for some time previous had bfcen up
permost in bis thoughts. That young man afterward
became Lord Clive.
Two brothers were, on one occasion, walking to
gether, when a violent storm, thunder and lightning
overtook them. One was struck dead on the spot;
the other was spared, else would the name of the
great reformer, Martin Luther, have been uuknown
to mankind.
Bacon, the sculptor, when a tender boy of five years
old, fell into the pit of a soap boiler, and must have
Xierisbed, had not a workman, just entering the yard,
observed his head and delivered him.
When Oliver Cromwell was an infant, a monkey
snatched him from his cradle, leaped with him
through a garret window, and ran along the leads of
the house. The utmost alarm was excited among the
inmates, and various were the devices used to rescue
the child from the guardianship of his newly found
protector. All were unavailing ; his would-be rescu
ers had lost courage, and were in despair of ever see
ing the baby alive again, when tbe monkey retraced
bis steps, and deposited its burden safely on the bed.
On a subsequent occasion, the waters nad well nigh
quenched his insatiable ambition. He fell fntoapfind^
from drowning in which a clergyman named Johnson
was tho sole instrument of his rescue. 4 * 1 v
At (he seige of Leicester, a young soldier.about sev
enteen years of age, was drawn out for centry duty.
Oue of bis comrades was very anxious to take his
place. No objection was made, aud this man went.
He was shot dead while on guard. This young man,
first drawn,afterwards became the author of “Pilgrim’s
Progress.”
Doddridge, when born, was so weakly ^ra infant ho
was believed to be dead. A nurse standing by fancied
she sfiw some signs of vitality. Thus the feeble spark
of life was saved from being extinguished, and an
eminent author and consistent Christian preserved to
the woild.
John Wesley, when a child, was only just preserved
from fire. Almost the moment after he was rescued,
the roof of the house where he had been lell in. Of
Philip Henry a similar instance is recorded.
John Knox, the renowned Scotch reformer, was al
ways wont to sit at the head of tho table. With his
back to the window. On one partfo liar evening,how
ever, without being able to account for it, he would
neither himself, nor permit any one else to occupy
his place. That very night a bullet was shot in at the
window, purposely to kill him; it grazed the seat in
which he sat, and made a bole in tho foot of the can
dlestick on the table.
Many years have row elapsed Fince three subalterns
might have been seen struggling in the water off St. |
Helena; one of them, peculiarly helpless, was suc
cumbing, He was saved to life as Arthur Wellesley,
Duke of Wellington.
Tbe life of John Newton is but the history of mar
vellous deliverances. As a youth he had agreed to
accompany soqje friends on board of a man of-war.
He arrived too late; the boat in which his friends had
gone was capsized, and all its occupants drowned. On
another occasion wh*n tide surveyor in the port of
Liverpool, some business had detained him, so that
he came much later than usual, to tbe great surprise
of those who were in the habit of observing his uude-
viating punctuality. He went out in a boat, as here
tofore, to inspect a ship, which blew up before he
reached her. Had he left the shore a few minutes
sooner, he must have perished with the rest on
board.

National Express and Transportation
Company.—At a meeting of the stockholders
of the National Express and Transportation
Company, held in Baltimore, on Saturday,
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we, the Baltimore Stock
holders in the National Express and Trans
portation Company, will meet the last call
made upon onr stock by the Board of Di
rectors, and pay the same immediately.
Resolved, That we appeal to stockholders
elsewhere to respond promptly to tbe calls
made upon them, and thus unite with ns in
emulating tbe example of Virginia to main
tain tbe credit of tbe Company in the face of
the unfair and unjust assaults made upon it
by rival and hostile parties.
Extension of the Atlantic and Gulf
Road.—The Bainbridge Argus of the 25th
inst., has an editorial in whioh the editor un
dertakes to stir up the “Decatur Stockdold-
ers,” and dissatisfy them with the present
manangment of the road. M e think such
conduct disingenuous, and wholly unworthy
of our usually fair and reasonable cotempora
ry. It is well known to those who have the
opportunity of looking on, that the preent
managers of the road have been and are still
doing every thing in their power to fulfill
their obligations with the “Decatur Stock
holders,” and such counsel as that given by
the Argus, serves only to produce discord
and embarrass the operations of the Compa
ny No one doubts that the Atlantic & Gull
Road will be extended'to Bainbridge,. and
over here, it is believed that the work
will be done at the eariiest possible moment
We tbiv.tr the CompSny deserve great credit
for what has already been done since the war,
and we think also that onr Decatur friends
should be satisfied if they get the road in
three years after the great loss and delay oc
casioned by the war. Be patient and you
shall haye the road.—Thomosviue Enterprise,
