New Y>'ik, A tig 31 —The Herald’s Kch-
mond coire?pom1«*nt Bays the people nt ilmt
city oa Tu sday held their bo called Union
meeting, lor which they have b :en lor some
time pr« vions making t xtensive prepara-
ti.'us. The National 11 ig ll taied over the
lostrum and the tara ol ibe reformed rebels
pret-em wem greeted with the strains of
Yankee Doodle ami (be Star Spangled Ban
ner, so long ignored by them. All the speak
ers were turn who eix months ago were
prominent supporters of the J ff. Davis
Confederacy.
The r« s »iuti<*na adopted < xpress indigna
tion at the suspicion on the part ol the
Northern people and journals, that the re >
canting Mce.hsi -ni^ts are not sincere in tak
ing the oa 1 h ol allegiance, anu pronounce
such imputations utterly groundless and
lalse. They pro less attachment to the Na
tional Government and acquiescence in the
results ol the war, including the aholiti. n of
slavery, and pledge their confidence in, and
the greatest r< spent f>r Piesident Johnson
and Governor l’.erponr, and recommend
ttiat oimij.il met lings be hi 11 throughout the
Stft’e.
New York, Aug. 31.—It appears that
bands ol rebels, guerrillas, bandits and
tliic.es si ill marage to keep up some sort of
an organization in Mississippi. The Her
ald’s Vicksburg correspondent reports the
capture of ll e steamer Keola by a party of
these outlaws, who robbed the officers and
crew, ar.d did not leave till they had secured
everything portable on board which they
desired. Oilier outrages as well as murders
by them are recorded. In order to put a
stop to sueh lawlessness in the State, Gov.
Sharkey has by proclamation called for the
formation in each couniy of at least one
company of cavalry and one company of
infantry. Cotton stealing by vagrant ne~
groes is «aid to be very prevalent just now
at Vicksburg.
The Herald’s Fortress Monroe correspon
dent says there is no new' developments re
garding either Jeff. Davis, Mr. Clay, or
Mitchell; each still lives on at the expense
of Uncle Sam, and lives well. Each occu
pies the same casement allotted liirn on his
entry here; each reads the daily newspa
pers and other reading matter allowed him
by reeent orders, and smokes his pipe with
apparent great relish. Each ta\es his daily
walk, and while ifiijoying good health lives
in the expectancy and hope of soon being
tried, and learnm;' his fate. Seeing in the
papers an extract from a letter from Jeff.
Davis to Mr. Gillott,one of his counsel, may
give i ise to the impression that, he is a lowed
freedom in letter writing, which is not the
case. He was allowed to write the letter
referred to by the Secretary of War, and
this was revised before sent, and the. only
letter he has been allow ed to write. He has
grumbled a great deal on this score, but the
grumbling lias done no good. As to his
trial t he impression prevails here that it will
take place directly alter the investigation is
concluded in the case of Captain Wertz.—
Where he will be tried, is less a settled
question than ever.
The Tunes Washington special says : We
learn that the regular regiments which are
receiving a large number of recruits daily
will be ordered to the west to do duty.
New York, Aug. 31.—The Herald prints
a complete list id railroad accidents, attend

has occurred in the United Slates service
since the commencement of the year. In
not quite eight months there have been 123
casualties, by which 266 persona have been
killed 1,109 wounded. Thir is only fhe
number or killed and wouuded recorded at
twe time of the accident, and who died very
shortly alter. Ofc urae many of the wound
ed were but slightly injured, but how many
died alter weeks or mouths of buff‘.ring,
from wounds received wc shall probably
never know.
The Herald’s Waahing on t pedal says
letters and applications continue to multiply
at the i’n eideut’s Bureau from people in the
South whose pensions have been interrupt

ate anxious to know what must be doue to
secure a resumption of their pensions, and
are impatient to prove their loyalty to the
National Government,

WHAT JRFK. DAVIS SATS.
New Y'ork, SopL 1.—The Herald’s For
tress Monroe correspondent says: ‘The
military authority has just had a conversa
tion with J. ff Davis, wherein the latter,
among other things he had to say, disclaim
ed having arty acquaintance with the noto
rious Captain Witz, or knowledge of the
inhuman treatment to which our prisoners
at Andersouville were subjected, is unfound
ed in truth. Except Gen. Miles’ officers on
guard duty, no officers had any conversa
tion with J. ff. i>av»s, or been allowed to
visit him. One ol President Johnson’s sons
had a long interview with him a lew days
since, and tie is the only civilian to whom
this privilege has been conceded, and his
conversation was limited to his health and
how prison life agreed with him.
G0:-Sir ABOUT JEFF. DAVI3—RECEIPTS FROM
INTERNAL REVENUE.
New York, Sept. 1.—The Times’ Wash
ington special aays : Both the President and
Secretary of War are decidedly in favor of
a trial by civil court, and at the earliest
practicable momeut, of Jiff. Davis. The
chief difficulty has been to find a proper
tribunal. The President looks with favor
upon Knoxville, Tennessee, where Davis
committed the overt act of treason, by in
citing insurrection in a speech to his army.
Ia case he is tried before Chief Justice
Chase, Norfolk, Virginia, will be selected.
This is what Davis’ friends desire The
state ment that the grand jury of this Dis
trict found a bill against Davis for construc
tive treason, does injustice to the intelli
gence of the jury and the loyal mind that
drew the bill; the indictment was lor an
overt act.
It may be further said that wherever and
whenever the trial does take place, General
Butler, in coojucc'ion with the Attorney
General, will lake a prominent part as pub
lic prosecutors. Toe whole matter has been
under consideration at recent Cabinet meet
ing-, when the question of mode and place
was so decided as to render the trial an
event near at hand.
The income receipts to-day are far ahead
of those of any one previous day. They
amount to $2,431,153, which is $420,000
ahead of any lormer diy’s woik. The en
tire receipts for July and August am iunt to
$55,781,100, and there is ieiMiu to believe
that this sum wiil tie increased to $90,000,-
000 by 1st of October.
THE WTinZ TRIAL.
New York, bept. 1—The Herald’s Wash
ington special says :
It is understood that Wir'z to-day (31 ’)
placet! in the bauds of his counsel volumia
ous documentary evidence-‘O prove that in
establishing the dead liue w thin Anders m-
yille prison yard, and shooting prisoners
who crossed it, tie in the first instance acted
under direct orders of the rebel General
Winder, and mo:e latterly by emphatic or
ders of J. A. Seddon, rebel Secretary ol War.
The Commission now trying Wirtz decided
to n j cl the tei-timony of Sergeant B stou
Corbett, wired appealed in the record of the
court, two days this week, on the grounds
that he is a tin nomaniac on the su j :ct of
the Andersonvillc cruelties.
The records of ihe Audersonville prison,
captured bv Gen. Wi'son, are missing. One
of the clerks of the Q tarteimasier’s Dip»rt-
ment, who arc mpauied the ex-Quartcm li
ter, and iu whose hands the records were
last teen, has been placed under arrest by
the military authorities, until he can give a
satisfactory accnu.it of the disposition he
has made of them. If. is thought by some
that >he ncords were stolen instead of being
lost, lor the purpose of preventing them be-
irg u-ed as evidence against Wirz
Mr. Kennedy, late ol tbe C -nsus Bureau,
is conditionally < tferea the Presidency of the
Uuited Stales Telegraph Company, at a sal
ary ol $5,000 per aunutn.
FROM THE WEST INDIES.
New York, Sept. 1.—The Herald’s San
tiago correspondent says that notwithstand
ing the havoc and spoliations of the Span
iards during their invasion of San Domin
go, crops are now coming forward, which
promise ample subsistence for the inhabit
ants, an 1 that the sacrifices which the war
has compelled the people to endure, have
made them more united and determined to
maintain their independence. The latter
statement is hardly borne out by reports
which have already been published of
threatened hostilities between two native
chiefs, Gens. Pimeatal and Cabral.
It is said that the Spaniards stole and des
stroyed large quantities of fine goods, prin
cipally the property of American merchants,
which had been stored at different places;
and now, Gandora, the Spanish commander,
having withdrawn his troops from the inte
rior, has blockaded the principal ports of
the Republic, because the Domincian Gov
ernment will not submit to his haughty and
unreasonable demands in the peace treaty,
thus preventing the exportation of large
stocks of tobacco belonging to Americans
as well as Europeans. To offset this block
ade, the Domincians have determined to
commission privateers to prey on Spanish
commerce, and an agent, authorized to is
sue letters of marque, has already left for
the United States and Europe.
THE HAYTIBN REBELLION MATTERS IN
JAMAICA.
New York, Sept. 1.—The Herald’s Kings
ton, Jaraaica,eorresj)ondent say9: The head
way which the revolutionists are making in
Hayli has been deemed by Piesident Gif-
frard sufficiently alarmiug to induce him to
make preparations for escape from his coun
try. A mail steamer has, therefore, been
chartered at Kingston to proceed to Port-
au-Prince, and there remaiu until the titpe
arrives for him to seek safety in flight, or
till the danger of such &u event has passed.
Owing to the severe drouth the present
summer, in the Island of Jamaica, to the
heavy taxes and other causes, the negro la
borer9 there have heen reduced to the most
abj ct poverty and great suffering, and
thousands of them are on tbe verge of star
vation. They blame the Govei nor and his
officers as the cause of this affliction, end
so stron ? and bitter is this feeling against
the local authorities that an outbreak on
their part is feared in the western part of the
Island, in const quence of which two gun
boats huve been dispatched to that locality.

PROCLAMATION BY TUG PRESI
DENT.
The following proclamation was issued
on the 29.h ult:
By the President of the United Slates of
America :
Whereas, By my proclamations of ihe
13.h and 24th of June, 1865, restrictions in
part, upon international domestic and coast
wise intercourse and trade with the States
rcceutty declared in insurrection, certain ar
ticles were excluded from the effect of said
proclamations as contraband of war: and
whereas, the necessity lor restricting the
trade on said articles has now in a great
measure ceased, it is hereby ordered that on
and after the first day of September, all the
restrictions aforesaid be removed, so that
the articles declared by said proclamations
to oe contraband of war, may be imported
into and sold in said States, subject only to
such regulations as the Secretary of the
Treasury may prescribe.
In testimony whereoi I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
Stales to be affixed. Done at the City of
Washington, tnis 29th day of August, 1865,
and of the independence ot the United
States of America the ninetieth.

A CURE FOR CHOLERA.
Two significant facts—that the cholera "is
raging in parts of Europe, and that New
Yotk cily is at present in a very dirty con
dition, very favorable to the pestilence—
persuades a paper of that city to reprint the
subjoined letter from a well known Boston
druggist and apothecaro, first published sev
eral years ago, in a Boston pap r. We ad
vise our readers to take note of the remedy
thus suggested:
Rev. Dr. Hamlin, of Constantinople, saved
hundreds of lives by the following simple
preparation, during the terrible raging of
cholera in that city a few years since. In no
ca‘:e did the remedy fail, where the patient
could be reached in season. It is no lees
effective in cholera morbus and in ordinary
diarrhoea. A remedy so easily procured and
so vitally efficacious, should be always at
hand.
An ordinary phial of it can be had for
twenty-five cents, and no family should be
without it over night. The writer of this
received the recipe a few days since, and
having been seriously attacked with oholera
morbus the past week, can attest to its al
most magical influence in affording relief
from excrutiating pain. He ardently hopes
that every one whose eyes trace these lines,
will cut the article from the paper, and pro
cure the medicine without delay. Its prompt
application willrelteve pain,and,presumpt
ively, save life:
Take One part laudanum,
One part camphorated spirit.
Two parts tincture of ginger.
Two parts carsicum.
Dose—One teaspoonful in a wine-glass of
water. If the case is obstinate, repeat the
dose in three or four hours.
Henry Hoyt.
While Father Taylor was giving one ot
his temperance lectures, a well known
diunkard, feeling touched, commenced hiss
ing. Instantly Father Taylor turned the
attention of the large audience to the inso
lent rowdy, and then forcibly sa^d, a3 he
pointed to his victim, “ There’s a red nose
got into cold water, don’t you hear it hiss ?”
NEW TURK DRY GOODS MARKET.
The New York Journal of Commerce of
the 26’.h instant, says: The trade took pre
cisely Euch a start during the week as we
have before intimated was among the prob
abilities of the season. The jobbers finding
themselves pressed with customers, aud as
certaining that money was working easier
and goods were scarce, began to pick up
available lines of print?, iancy and staple
cottons, and other standard fabrics, wher
ever they could be found. Considerable,
progress was made in this way by a lew:
jobbers before any general stir was created,
but at last the ball was set in motion, and
the whole trade was a blaze of excitement.
Within the last day or two prices have ad
vanced and it is very difficult to give reliable
quotations. Those jobbers who have laid
in stock at the inside rates, now join with
the manufacturers agents in their tfforts to
increase tbe prevalent commotion, and there
must be a little reaction after things become
a little more settled. The decline noticed
last week has been recovered during this
activity, and in many cases a still higher
point has been reached. An effort will now
be made to crowd the market up by repre
sentations concerning the scarcity of goods,
and we look for a scramble after some par
ticular fabrics before the excitement is over.
But we do not think there is likely to be an
absolute dearth of domestic goods. It is
true that cotton has been high and weavers
scarce, but the production has not fallen off
iu any undue proportion to the limitation
which high current prices have put upon
consumption. We annex some further par
ticulars of Ike state of the market in refer
eace to some of the most important fabrics :
Brown Sheetings and Shirtings.—The-
market for cotton goods is somewhat excited,
and with a limited stock in first hands a
general improvement in prices has been es
tablished! Standard sheetings are in active
demand at higher rates. In the early part
of the week sales were made at thirty-two
and a half cents, but they have since ad
vanced to thirty-four, again of two and a
half cents above the quotations of last week
for Eastern and from three to four cents for
Southern makes; and the tendency is to still
higher rates. Stark’A, Indian Head, Law
rence C, Appleton and Indian Orchard,
are held by agents at 34c., with an upward
tendency; 4 4 Oranitesville 32, four cents
higher, £ do 29, an advance of three cents ;
4 4 Augusta Factory 33, § do 30; each three
cents higher; 4-4 Amory 33, 4-4 Agawam,
were last delivered at 27 ; Conestoga R 30,
do H 28 ; Tremont A 30, do C 28 ; Pocasset
Canoe 40 in. 34, and Poofcasset K 31; Ap
pleton D 39 ; New Market R, R 34 do A 33
and do H 304 ; 4 4 Medford 32£ ; Massachu

32. Shirtings are 29 for 27 E 21, do O 24.
Bleached Sheetings and Shirtingi.—
Bleached goods are in active rtquesf, and
while a few of the leading makes are still
delivered at the prices of last week, several
of the lower qualities have been advanced
from one to two cents per yard, and the
stock of the various grades is well sold up.
The best, makes are generally s >ld at value.
New York mills are delivered at 474, 4 4
Wamsutta 45, 7 8 do 54, 5 4 do 59; Waure-
aan water twist are held at 45. do X X 40;
Forestd.de 424; Masonville'^124, do X 45 ;
Slateiwille f at, 34; Barteli’s 424, for 4 4 2 J
cents higher, 374 tor £ one cent advance,
and 39 for 33 inch; Lonsdale sell at 44 two
cents higher; Hope 41; Red Bank 36 lor
4 4, and 33 for 4 do; White Rock were iasl
delivered at 434.
Prints.—The market for prints has been
very active this week, and prices have al
ready advanced from a ha f cent to one cent
per yard. The stock in first hands is ex
tremely limited and several agents not hav
ing a single case on exhibition, are selling
ahead by samples to be delivered at value.
The jobbers after wailing in vaiu h r a fur
ther reduction, are now buying treely at
present, rates. The season’s business has
but fairly commenced, and a9 tbe require-
meats of trade must be large, holders are
confident that the prices will be fully sus
tained. Merrimack sell at 32 for. W and 30
for D, aud 33 for frocks; American Print
Worka are 294 regular; Spragues 294 reg
ular for fancies; 804 for pinks, purples and
and shirting-;; 304 tor blue and while; 314
for blue and orange; national 244 for light;
and mourning 274; Allen’s 28 not lor fan
cy; 294 for pink and purple, and 29 for
frock; Arnold’s 26 regular. Richmond’s

ue; Garner’s are 31; Amoskeag, 30 for
pink, 29 for purple; 28 for fancy and shirt
ing; 274 for mourniDg; Duches3 B 26;
Lowell 264; Wamsutta and dusters 25;
Hamilton 30 for chocolate, stripes and
check, and purple were last delivered at 30.
Flannels and Blankets —For flannels
there is no noticeable change in the range
of quotations. The sales are quite large
and the stock of fine grades is very much
reduced. Plain orange and scarlet range
from 374 to 50; scarlet twilled 47|@70 for
FandC; white 35@65: 4-4 Shaker 60@80;
blue and mixed twills 45@70; Gilbert’s
white and colored opera sell freely at the ad
vanced rates. Army flannels are held at 774
for standard ; Harris’ White Domets sell at
45@80 for plain and twills.
Blankets are in good request at full prices
Mr. N. H. Brown, agent, is now receiving
the Newickwanock Co.’s blankels, which for
several years past have been out of the mar
ket. They are all wool and very heavy ;
selling at $6 75 for 10-4, $8 50ior 11 4, and
$10 for 12 4. Cocheco Swiss $8 50 for 10-4
and $10 50 forll-4; Holland’s all-wool 10-4
at $9 and 11-4 do $12.
Foreign Goods.—The business in foreign
fal rics is quite active. In mous de laines
and French merinoes the demand has been
large, and the stock of choice colors is very
much reduced. Woven dress goods, all wool
in. colors;* find ready purchasers at full rates,
but a large proportion of the recent impor
tation in the various German productions
are of inferior quality, to be added to the
stock on hand, which is in excess of the re
quirements of the trade, and are now
crowded upon the market at reduced rates;
while fine French dress goods are in short
supply and eagerly sought after at remuner
ative prices. 9

A NEW HEIR TO THE THRONE OF
MEXICO.
A very remarkable article Jias appeared in
the Epoque, a Parisian journal, relating to
negotiations said to be pending, with a view
to the annexation of Belgium to France, and
the transfer of the Royal Belgian family to
Mexico. The Epoque quotes a Vienna cor
respondent, who states that the whole scheme
turns upon Mexico, and says:
“Remember that, in the quarter in ques
tion, it has been deliberately stated that
France would gain possession of Belgium or
the Rhine without firing a shot. Recollect,
also, that, in the same circles, when the ex
pediency of the Mexican expedition was
questioned, the familiars and those best in
formed used reply : ‘YVhen the idea which
led to the Mexican expedition is known,
people will fall down and worship it.’ You
may probably fancy that there is no connec
tion between these two apparently diametri
cally opposed ideas, the annexation of Bel
gium and the conquest of Mexico. But,
suppose the Emperor Maximilian, who has
no direct heirs, should adopt the Duke of
Brabant, and ihat France should guarantee
to that young prince and his heirs the peace
able possession of the Mexican throne.
“Suppose that on the demise of King
Leopold, the Duke of Brabant should, to se
cure a Trans-allantic crown for his son, give
up a throne so precarious as that ol Belgium.
Suppose, that to obtain the assent of the
German Powers to this great increase oi
territory on her part France ratified the ab
sorption of the Elbe Duches by Prussia, and
helped Austria to the Danubian principali
ties ; suppose this transfer should lead to an
amicable adjustment of the Venetian ques
tion—would you, captious French critics,
then not readily admit that the employment
of 50,000 Frenchmen in Mexico had been
a very cheap way of arriving at such a grand
result. ?”
The scheme,if entertained,requires a read
justment of the political map of Continen
tal Europe, manifestly so much to the terri
torial and political advantage of France, that
England, to say nothing of Prussia and Aus
tria, would oppose it even to the extremity
of war. If France ever establishes her
frontiers on the Rhino, it will be by the
agency of armies, not diplomacy.—Nashville

Homicide in Buena Vista.—We are in
formed that Mr. Cordy Bullocks, an old and
respected citizen of Buena Vista, Taj lor
county, was killed on Monday last by two
men, brothers, named Strother. It is said
that Mr. Bullocks was killed in his own
store, and that the Strothers had escaped,
but were pursued at last accounts, by a
squad of Uuited Stales troops. We do not
know the nature of the difficulty, nor wheth
er there were any circumstances that pallia
ted the homicide.—Columbus Enquirer.

COTTONJMARKET.
INTELLIGENCER OFFICE, I
Tuesday, Sept. 5th, 1S65. f
During the week ending yesterday the cotton market
has been doll and drsoptng, with few transactions.—
The difficulties in railroad transportation are the cause
of this inactivity. Small lots from the country continue
to an ive, but we have heard of no large transactions.
Prices have ranged from 25 to 31 cents. The following
quotations exhibit the different grades and prices:
Ordinary,.. .22 cents. | Low Middling. .. 25 cents.
Middling.,. ..23 “ [Good Middling,.. .29 “
During the latter part of the week the feeUng was some
what better, but on the whole our market may be consid
ered as exhibiting little or no buoyancy. Dealers inform
us that the bad condition in which cotton is brought to
market detracts somewhat from its valuation. Planters
woald consult their interests by the ose of better bagging
and rope before offering their cotton for sale.

Atlanta, Tuesday, Sept. 5th, 1865.
We notice large stocks'of Groceries and Dry Goods,
