Trouble Between tbe United States and tbe Turkish Government—Outrage on a United States Consul^Ot»r minister nt Constantinople Sends Ihr jin Ijpon-clfcd. The Levant Herald states that I difficulty has arisen between the Porte and the American Legation on a mat ter of some interest. - Some time ago the American Consul—a Mr. Luigi Palma de Cesnola—at Larnaca, Cyprus, took into his service a Mussulman "native named Mustapha. Shortly alter, the mudir of the, town claimed the man as a drawn conscript stocking to evade military service, and on the (lAsul refusing to give him up ordered a party of mpBehs to enter the house of the American consular. dragoman—a certain Costand Cebeas—and carry off the man.*-^Thereupon the Consul addressed a formal complaint fo the gov ernor of the island, demanding the punishment of the mudir, and an ample apology for the alleged out rage on his own consular dignity. On enquiry into the facts, however, the Pacha considered the muuir to be in the right, and therefore refused the consular demand. Mr. Palina de Cesnola accordingly “sus pended relations,” and referred ithif matter to the Honorable E. Joy Moms, the America* Minister in the capital. The latter gentleman, accepting his su bordinate’s version of the facts, had addressed an en- plicates the case. Tile excluded population, cnoi unsettled Wfufe, gr#w more icumUls; 0*4 sidy Jhdfcs intBflfreli.satfk to U>eiT Jfo/|rM«pivU*l super cedes it; the Government at Washington is called to interfere in one and another difficulty, aud this will be done inaptly, aud sometimes with greitf* injustice, for our Government, wisely adapted to its own proper functions, is utterly devoid of those liaoits and une quipped with the instruments which fit a centralized Government to exercise authority In remote States over local affairs. Every attempt to perform such du ties has resulted in mistakes which have excited the nation. But whatevar imprudence there may bo in the method, thereat criticism should bo agaiust the requisition of such duties of the General Govern ment. The Federal Government is unfit to exercise minor police and local government, and will inevitably bluuder when it attempts it. To keep a half score of States under Federal authority, but without national ties and responsibilities; to oblige the central author ity to govern half the territory of the Union by Fed eral civil officers and by the army, is a policy not only uncongenial to omr ideas and principles, but pre-emi- uenily dangerous to the spirit ol our Government. However humane the ends sought aud the motives, it is in fact a course of instruction, preparing our Gov ernment to be despotic, and familiarizing the people to a stretch of authority which can never be other than dangerous to liberty. I am aware that good men| are withheld from ad vocating the prompt and successive admission of tbe exiled states by the fear, chiefly, of its effect upon parties, aud upon the treedmen. It is said that »f admitted to Congress, the Southern Senators and Representatives will coalesce with North ern Democrats, and rule the country. Is this nation, then, to remain dismembered to serve the ends of parties ? Have we learntd no wisdom by the history of the last ten years, in which just this course of sac rificing the nation to the exigencies of parties plunged •us into rebellion and \yur> Even admit thai the power would pass into the hands of a party made up of Southern men, and the hitherto dishonored and misled Democracy of the North, that power could not be used just as they pleased. The war has changed, not alone institutions, but ideas. The whole country has advanced. Pub lic sentiment is exalted far beyond what it has been at any former period. A new party would, like a river, be obliged to seek out its channels in the al ready existiug slopes and tortus of the continent We have entered a new era of liberty. The style of thought is freer aud more noble. The young men of our times are regenerated. The great army has been a school, and hundreds of thousands of men are gone home to preach a truer and nobler view of human rights. Ail the industrial interests of society are moving with increasing wisdom toward intelligence and liberty. Everywhere, in churches, in literature, in natural sciences, in physical industries, in social questions, as well as in politics, the nation feels that the winter is over, and a g 5 w spring hangs in the horizon, and works through all the elements. In this happily changed and advanced condition-wf things, no party of the retrograde can, matnti&i. ifenlf. Every thing marches, and partidB nilslin;mm. I hear with wonder aud shame and scorn the fear of a few that the South, once more in adjustment with the Federal Government, will rule this qStion. The North is rich, never so rich; the South is poor, never before so poor. The population of the North is nearly double that of the South. The industry oi the North, in diversity, in forwardness and productiveness, in all the machinery and education required for manufac turing, is half a century is- advauce of the South. Chu^phftsiriHbCjMp'tk rir<Wujfevery hill, aud schools swarm in'everyrietglibolKbod? while the South has but scattered lights at long distances, like lighthouses twinkling along the edge of a continent of darkness. In the presence of such a contrast ho# mean and cra ven is the fear that the South will rule, the policy of the laud! That it will have an iuilucifc*£that it will contribute, in time, most important fnnnetfces or re straints, we are glad to believe. But if it rises at once to the control of the Government, it will be because the North, demoralized by prosperity, and besotted by groveling interests, tfefu.-esAo fiistliargc share of political duty. In such a case the South not only will control the Government, but it ought to doit. 2. It is feared, with more reason, that the restora tion of the South to her full independence will be det rimental to the freedmen. The sooner we dismiss from our miuds the idea that the Jflgodff en can be classified, aud separated from-the white population, and nursed aud defended by themselves, the better it will be for them and us. The negro is part and]par cel of Sonthern society. He cannot be prosperous while it is unprospered. Its evils will rebound upon him. Its happiness and rcinvigoratipu cannot be teptfromhia parttcipatiop^\l|ic reBtftraHon of tbe ffeulk to kmieable relating kith.Ilk ^Pofltb, the re organization or its industry, the rcTnspiralion of its enterprise and thrift will all redound to the freed- inen*8 benefit. Nothing is so dangerous the freed men as an unsettled state of society iu the South. Ou him comes all the spite, aud auger, and caprice, and revenge. He will be made tho scapegoat of law less and heartless men. Unless we turn the Govern ment iuto a vast military machine, there cannot be armies enough to protect the freed tuen while Southern society remains insurrectionary. If Southern society is calmed, settled, and occupied and soothed with new hopes and prosperous industries, no armies will be needed. Riots will subside, lawless hangers-on wiil be driven off or better governed, and a way will be gradually opened up to the freedmen, through educa tion and industry, to full citizenship, with aU4ts hon ors and duties. Civilization is a growth. None can escape that forty years in the wilderness who travel from the Egypt of ignorance to the promised land of civilization. The freedmen must take their march. I have lull faith in the results. If they have the stamina to^uudergo the hardships which every uncivilized people has under gone in their upward progress, they will in due time take their place ataong u4.” That plaad ^cannot be bought, nor bequeathed, nor gained by slight ol hand. It will come to sobriety, virtue, industry and fru gality. As the nation cannot be sound until the South is prosperous, so, on the other extreme, a healthy condition of civil society in the South is indispensa ble to the welfare of the freedmen! Refusing to admit loyal Seuators and Representa tives from the South to. Congress will ljpt help the freedmen. It will not secure to them ne vote. It will not protect them. It will not secure any amend ment of onr Constitution, however just and wise. It will only increase the dangers and complicate the diffi culties.

I am truly yours, “ ~ — fe; DURANT OYER THE DEAD BODY OF THE NEW ORLEANS REVOLUTION ARY CONVENTION. Thomas J. Durant, who was onfe of tbe leading spirits of the Radical revolutionary Convention which led to the dreadful riot in New Orleans on the 23d of July, is “doing the martyi” in Philadelphia, whe relic is a delegate to thelSoathern Loyalist*’, or Black- and-T&n Convention. His speech for the occasion was evidently deliberately prepared and carefully committed, and like that of Mark Antony over the body of Caesar, well calculated to “stir the very stoues of Pbila- ; delpbU to mutiny.” As tbe Roman * iatrap held up the bloody mantle of the fliiln ty rant, so Durant arrays before the rabid rad ical rabble of Philadelphia the sanguinary scenes of that fearful day, in bis efforts to “move their gentle sonls to pity.” Aftef an elaborate argument to prove that he and his associate revolutionists were justifiable iu reconvoking the illegal convection, he thus describes tbe terrible denouement s Ou that day, citizens, our glowing sun rose ma jestically over the city of New Orleans; all nature smiled under his bounteous beams; the Quedn City of the valley of tbe Mississippi lay there bathed in .the glorious sunlight like a rich diamond in a monarch’s crown, or as the brightest jewel in the girdle of the Republic. No indication iu the heavens foreshadowed the dark fatality that was to approach that day. The Union citizen, in pursuit of his business avocations, went to his desk, his workshop and his store that day. Was there auy thought of apprehension in any man’s mind it was immediately silenced, for there floated the American flag over New Orleans, the guarantee of protection, and there stood an American geuerd with aa American, army tohkield the. Uau>4 citizen if any peril should occur. - The Union tean, * unconscious of harm, was pursuing the daily business of life. But what was that sound that smote upon his ear ? It was like the stifled cry of a distant multitude. “No; ’twas but the wind or the car rattling o’er the stony street.” He thinks again of the flag that is protecting him, and turns once more to the business of the day. But hark! that sound comes again; he starts from his seat; he listens more attentively.— But haik again! That nearer shout brings faster on the murderers; the streets are filled with an in furiated populace: a band of assassins in the garb of' policemen, headed by that prince of murderers, the Mayor of New Orleans, appears in the stroets to reap the long account of smouldering vengeance. A procession of citizens peacably bearing the Americau flag attempted to appear upon the streets to do honor to a convention whicti, it was said, was to bestow upon them the natural rights from which their race bad long been excluded in our country; they are assaulted in the streets with murderous weapons and dispersed. The members of the convention sitting there hail heard these sounds of tumult also, but were without apprehension; for did not the American flag float over them, and was there not an American general there to protect them ? They ordered their sergeant- at arms to proceed to the houses Of absent citizen^ to summon their attendance. As he puts his foot upon the sidewalk, emerging from the building, a murder ous and traitorous shot salutes him iu the back; he falls, weltering in blood. A native of Louisiana, a gallant man, who had taken up arms under the flag of our country, aud served honorably in a Louisiana Union regiment, falls on the streets of the city slaughtered when in the peacable execution of his duty. A friend conveys him u> his vehicle; the shouts of the savage mob salute him as he drives off; he has not life enough left to reach his home; he hears the cry of the multitude in the distance; he hears it but he heeds it not; his eye is with his heart, aud that is far away, for he is thinking of the dear wile and chil dren at home, that await their dying father; with bis expiring strength he clasps the shoulder of the naan that drives the vehicle, and says, with his fainting breath, “Give my love to my dear wife and child. He expires there before he reaches home. A reverend man, who opened the proceedings that morning with prayer, who stood beside him wbo now addresses you on the Fourth of July, when we commemorated the anniversary of our nation’s birth—this reverend mau, fresh from the service of lijs Maker, invoking a bless ing on the leaders of the convention, and descending with tho emblem of peace in his hand to still these fu rious men, whom he too little knew—he also is slaugh tered in cold blood and treated with" marks of such savage cruelty that you would scarcely believe it if I had the tongue to' narrate them to you. Yes, under the blows of these more than savages, the wretched Horton sunk to the ground; and barely having time to reach his home aud receive the conso lations of his wife and children—receiving in vain the best surgical aid—he sinks back, and his spirit re turns to his God who gave it. But who is that I sea dragged by me, where I saw men slaughtered in front of my own place of business ? Who is that, bareheaded under the scorching rays of au aimost tropical sun, his hair dishevelled, his gar ments torn to fragments, his whole countenance all streaming with blood—who is be thus ruthlessly dragged through the streets with four armed assail ants trailing him in the dust in spite of his crippled limb ? He is the man who had been Governor of Louisiana under that very Constitution which it is now pretended was so sacred that nobody could say it should be changed. It was the very man who had en joyed the confidence of Mr. Lincoln, your revered Chief Magistrate. [Great applause.] It was the Hon. Michael Hahn who was thus ignominioualy dragged through the streets of the city. But I cannot dilate upon these horrors. The public prints have made you all but too familiar with them. Not even the bitterest of our foes, I believe, could now tell them without a tear. How much the occurrence of such scenes of violence are to be deplored, It is’ still more deplorable that by misrepresentation and false coloring they are made the means of stirring up sectional hatred and perpelua ting partisan strife in our unhappy country.

(Langhler.) I do not want it to go to the field with one leg. And so I am a little impatient to have the tame leg made right. (Cheers and great ap- platise.) Guarantees are talked of.

What guarantee have we that if Tennessee should humble taeraetf in the dust, and North Carolina and SouthtNiarollna should “eaLtbe leek,’’ and if the Southern States ehould give np forty of their representatives they would then be admitted? I do not see any guarantee for that. New terms m%y be insisted on every day. Tbe Empress Charlotte’s Visit to France, [Paris Correspondence London Times! I have more precise information as to the ohtoct of the Empress Charlotte's visit to Paris. It is to obtain a release, for the present, from the obligation of ply ing what is due to France out of the Mexican Custom- Houses. The invasions of the insurgent bands have greatly reduced their prooeede, which are now confined to the port of Vera Cruz. The Hoxlcaa government requires, even with the strictest economy, 500,000 piasters mouthly for its indispensable expenses; and for some time past it has not been inane receipt of more than two-fifths of that sum from the customs. The financial condition of the Mexican government is thus reduced to the loweet ebb, and it is to. seek relief from its generous creditor that her Majesty has braved the dangers of pestilence and of the ocean. It is said that should her solicitations prove ineffectual (which - tiiKtwWdl is not likely.) the Empress Charlotte will n?t hsauate - ' to place in the Emperor's bands a* her ultimatum tier husband’s abdication of the throne of Metico. It is in this extremity that one of th* mdtt ingenious members of the Cabinet is directed to Invent some combination. Tho mattert* not an easy one, for the sums due from Mexico figure as an item of receipt in the French budget, and the deficiency caused Ly this non-payment must be made up from other sources. The raids of the rebel bauds, too often successful, are attributed to the reduction of the army of occupation. After ail.

The Baltimore Commer cial bag the following account of the affray : tears that a camp meeting, under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church,directed by tha Bev. John Lsnahan, presiding elder, had been in progress about one week, tbe meeting being arranged to dose on yesterdsg morning- Them were about one ban- dred tents## tNe; gfoCnd 4»r4he accommodation of the whites,'mitnnrmediately in the rear of the preach ing stand was a tract set apart for the accommodation of negtfoe*,* who had erected large tent* and were present dn the grounds to the number of about three hnndretl. Everything passed off very quietly until the evening of Thursday last, when several rslight al tercations occurred between some of the bl^ks and white persons on the ground, which; bo#*ver, ret suited in nothing more than a war of wotda. It was noticed, however, that a number of the nqgroos were engaged in cutting clubs in different parts of the ground*, which led to considerable discussion among the Whites, and it soon became apparent that disorder would ensue. . Later in the erenjpg several young men appeared on the grounds intoxicated, and having learned of the evident preparatidn 1 6t the negroes for a row, they added to the general ill freliag by throw ing piec^aof cstitalopes and watermelons among the blacks'. Tho managers of the camp ground here in terfered. and attempted to quiet tho disorderly par ties, and were about getting them away when the De formed in a body, and with dries of “ RaU| “go in,” they made a rush upon the officers and those who were in their charge, aud fired a voUey of about twenty shots indiscriminately into the Whites who were assembled iu front of the preacher’s aland to the number of. perhaps, three hundred persons, a majority of whom were ladies, and would no doubt have killed or wounded many persona but for tho tact that the entire congregation were at prayer, and being in a kneeling position the bullets went aver their heads, entering the surrounding trees aud tents. A young man named Benson, sou of Mr. J. Benson, a well known resident of the neighborhood, was aeen, however, to raise up from a kneejfrif position at a bench near the preacher’s stand, ana Instantly fall again. Upon examination it was found that one of the shots from the negroes in his rear had taken effect on him—the ball passing in the right aide of the neck and come out of the mouth. The whites returned the fire, and it is stated wound ed three* of the negroes, one seriously, named An drew Adams, who was shot in the right aide, another named Elias Hamilton in the right foot, and a third, name upkpown, in trie arm. The aobne at this juncture beggars all description, the contestants rushing at each other with the most savage fury, whilst the ladies and children in the con grega&ou fled for their lives in every direction. The fight was kept up foe about half an hour, from twelve o’clock until half past two o’clock, when tbe whites felt back precipitately, the negroes having by this time increased their farce to over one hundred persons, all of whom were armed with either a pistol or larga club. partial quiet having been restored, Rev. George Dritch and others visited the negroes and induced them to leave, to avoid further ximtarbance, - which they did, when several whites proceeded to pile up and destroy their quarters, together 1 with furniture, bedding.

Below may be /dund a synopsis of the testimony adduced, as taken by our special reporter, who visited the grounds : Stephen Watkins (white) deposed.—Saw Jacob Walters, a negro, (formerly a slave of Mr. Benson, father of the young man who was shot,) with a pistol; heard him say Ufafly, met ; G—d d—n ’em, we’ll give ’em enough.*- ’ *’ 9 ~+ Julius Key testified that he saw a large yellow man with a club; saw him strike a white man. Rev. George Leitch deposed—Do not know the ori gin of the affair; saw a man intoxicated back of the stand; Messrs. Downs, Shipley and others, officers, attempted to get him away and preserve ordor; the man said a negro had struck him With a club; the brother of the man (named Harman) said, “Shoot the iaqparrel ensued, and wbUst Mr. Shipley and others were getting away, the negroes fired the first shots at them; several of the officers of the camp had offered to quiet things and protect the negroes, but the latter waved their clubs aud exclaimed. “We’JI protect ourselves, by O—they then cried, “Rally, boy b,” and made a rash, when the Tight became gene ral; tbe whites retreated; and were followed to the circle in front of the preacher’s stand, where they ral fied and returned the Are. Elijah Jackson (white) testified—Heard the darkies say, “We can defend ourselves, G—d d—n ’em;” all the darkies had clubs; saw a large yellow man with a huge club, who cried out, “Come on, boys—rally,” Ac.; the negroes then fired three ahote first, and then a volley. I saw no white man fire until some time after. George Shipley (an officer on the ground), deposed —Saw that both parties were enraged.

George Clarks (negro), testified—That he first saw a negro, not a white man, with a club. This was be fore the firing; the white man did nothing; no one was disturbing the darkies then. . Mr. William White deposed—Saw Black Jacob (Ben- aon’s boy), with a club; heard him say, “Come on, youd white- ; we’ll meet you.” Heard the same •* man boasting that the “niggers had killed a d— white man.” Mr. George Bragden—Saw a number of negroes with pistols. Mr. William H. Downs (Magistrate)—Saw negroes with pistole and clubs; got on the stand when they were firing; oue ball passed through my hat and an other through my boot. Washington stockell, (negro), testified that he bad a club. Did not strike a white man, but he tried to strike one. If I had struck him. I’d have broke his neck square off. (This witness was held, in default or bail, charged with participation in Hie riot) Whilst giving hie testimony, he was asked a question relative to a negro camp meeting which had been held two weeks before, when he said iu a boasting way, “The white folks come to that meetin, but we rallied on ’em and driv ’em fur Three miles.” A number of additional witnesses were examined, all of whom corroborated the above, upon which the magistrate issued waraants for some eight or ten per sons, white and black, who, if caught will be held for trial.
