BY TELEGRAPH. 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 ed by loss (if life or injury to persons, that 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 ed by the outbreak of the rebellion. These I 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, Major F. Weedy, Paymaster, United States army, who, with his clerk, was lost on board the ill laled steamer Brother Jona than off the California coast, was, at the lime, on his way to Oregon and Washington Ter- ritoiy to pay off the troops stationed there. He hud in liis possession two hundred thou sand dollars belonging to the Government. Five hundred wagons, to each of which were attached mules left this city this morn ing, bound lor Leavenworth. It is under stood that the joui ney will occupy the space of several months. The Tribune’s Washington special sajs: The acting 2 1 Comptroller has decided that hospital stewards of the regular army, dis charged before the expiration of the period for which they enlisted, are not entitled to unaccrued installments of bounties. Memphis, August 30.—Brig. Gen. Marcus J. Wright, and Colonel Loony, late of the < ontedi rate army were arrested to-day, by Uuited States Marshal to answer indictments for treason in the district court, tound in 1862. Receipts of cotton small. Middling 36 to 37c. Pittsburg, Aug. 3i:—li ver three feet four inches by metal mark and tailing. Weather clear and warm. the Herald’s Washington special J«&vs: Brig. Gen. J. B. Hawley, chief of staff of Gen. Terry, at Richmond, Va., whose name appeared in the list of Generals published as be ing mustered out, has been retained in the service. The name ol Brevet Major Gen. J. F. Miller, of Indiana, was erroue ously placed, by the War Department, in the list of officers recently mustered om of service. An additional or supplementary roll ol honor is to be published by the War De parlment, embracing the dead of Anderson ville, and the names of such negro 9oldiers as have died near Washington. Gen. Doolittle has been eirdered to report to Gen. Cnuby, at New Orleans. Col. W. K. Snifter, of the 17th U. S. C. I., takes command at Nashville. Linton Stephen?, brother to Aiex. Ste pheus, is reported to have obtained permis sion, yesterday, to visit the latter at Fort Warren. 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. AFFAIRS IN TEXAS. New Orleans, August 31.—The steamer Concordia has arriveu from B >ston. General Sheridau war at Galveston on the 26 h. Governor Hamilton issued a proclamation ordering the necessary steps to be taken to call a convention, but no'delegate is .to be elected but those who arc loyal to the Uni ted States. Ex-Governor Murrab, of T\xas, died at Monterey on the 4 b. Robberies and burglaries continued in and around Hamilton. The Austin Intelligencer says that the In dians come down within thirty miles of that city, pillaging tn the march. New cotton is coming in pretty freely.— The army worm will scarcely injure the crop. The p< rts of Lavacca and L.dianda were opened on the 17 h. Judge Barrett, first President of Ttxas, goes" to Galveston with a memorial in be half of J ff. Davis. RICHMOND MATTERS. New York, Sept, 1.—The Herald's Rich mond correspondent says the order for re voking the pardon of Mr. Dudley, President of the York River Railroad, emanated from President Johnson himself, in consequence of Dudly, subsequent to receiving the Ex ecutive clemency, having indulged in strong disloyal language. It is said that certain Virginia banks have been receiving Rebel money up to the pres ent time in liquidation of liabilities due them. BOILER EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE MATTERS IN MEXICO.

SMASH UP AND FATAL RESULTS. Bos’on, Sept. 1.—Y’esterday afternoon at one o’clock, a stage coach with a party of twelve ladies and gentlemen, was on its way from Lovell’s corner, Bouth Weyn outh, where they all resided, to the beach at Co- hasset, the party proposing to stay some days at the last named place, iu crossing South Shore railroad track, at West King- ham, where the country road and railroad cross each other obliquely, running almost parallel, the two horses shied a little at the approach of a freight train, and one of the coach wheels caught between the rails and wooden panels ol the crossing. At that moment the cow catcher struck and shattered the wheel, turning the coach over on Mr. Lovell, killing him instantly.— Seven out of the party were badly injured.

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 setts 304 for A 33 for B ; Nashau txtra 4-4 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 are all held up, and orders are taken at val 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 Whisky firm at $2 20.

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 Gazette. 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. -«<••■» Thii famous trotting mare “Flora Temple” has been sold for $15,000.

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. FINANCIAL.
