the news.
A New Orleans dispatch states that a re
cent number of La Eslafclte, the French or
gan in the city of Mexico, admits that Max
imilian’s empire is a failure, and says that
only a French protectorate can save the
country from absorption by the United
States. A minister or commissioner from
Maximilian is on the way to ‘Washingten to
seek recognition by our government. The
recall of the Pope’s Nuncio created a sen
sation among the Mexican clergy. Fresh
defeats of the Imperial forces are an
nounced.
Matamoras papers of the 18ih inst. say
that General Sheridan is making threaten
ing demonstrations along the Rio Grande,
and that large numbers of troops, principally
colored, and trains of artillery, continue to
arrive at Brownsville, Texas.
The rebel General Joe Johnston has writ
ten a letter of advice to tlie Southern seces
sionists, in which'the tells them that, having
referred the question at issue with the gov
ernment to the arbitrament of the sword
and failed, it is now their duty to acquiesce
in the decision and endeavor to again be
come good, quiet and industrious citizens of
the United States.
The Pennsylvania Democratic State Con
vention met in Harrisburg yesterday.—
The resolutions adopted declare that “ the
slaughter, debt and disgrace” of the war for
the suppression of the rebellion were the
consequences of the counsels of the demo
cratic leaders being disregarded ; call for
free speech, free press, no restriction on the
habeas corpus writ, ami trial by jury in all
cases; maintain that the rebellious States
are now as much in the Union as ever, anti
that their people are entitled to all the rights
which they had before the war; oppose
negro suffrage an a high crime ami an at
tempt to degrade white mm, and give a
qualified support to President Johnson, de
manding that he must take measures to give
the Southern States inline iiate represeuta
tion in Congress, must save them from the
curse of negro suffrage, must stop the pun
lament and murder ol individuals on the
sentences of courts martial, and must do
various other things in the way of restrain
ing bis military officers. Candidates to be
voted for at the ensuing Stale election weie
nominated.
One of the Herald correspondents sends
us, from on board of a Mississippi steamer,
some interesting facts in regard to the tide
oi emigration which is now starting south
ward irom the Northern and Western States
along the Mississippi river valley. Many
Northern aud Northwestern men of enter
prise and means have bought cotton and
sugar plautations, and design commencin
agricultural operations on them as soon as
possible. Among them are officers who
have served in the national army through
out the war. The general opinion among
these gentlemen is that the negro will work
well enough under the free labor system,
and that they will have no occasion to
call for white laborers from the North and
from Europe. A Maine man, however, is
mentioned by our correspondent who lias
bought a Mississippi plantation, and who
does not propose to try colored laborers at
all, but is on his way to this city to secure
the services of a large number of Germans.
General Curtis, commanding at Lynch
burg, Va., has recently learned the wherea
bouts of over seventy-eight thousand dol
lars in specie, iormerly belonging to the
rebel government, which had been secreted
by a rebel express agent and a rebel busi
ness agent, who have beeD arrested.
The rebel nest iu Montreal is becoming 1
fuller every day. Beverly Tucker, C irroll,
George Sanders, Dr. Blackburn, Dr. Fallen,
Ex-Governor Weecott, 11. S. Foote and oih •
cr less prominent niou have been there some
time. Robert E. Lee is expcc ed, and -Jvlf.
Davis’ family are slated by the Montreal
Gazette to be quietly living at the Don- gir.a
Hotel.
It is stated by our Quebec correspondent
that the Canadians have ahe-tdy to a certain
extent initiated the proceedings which theii
delegates in the Detroit Commercial Con
vention hinted would be the result of the
non-renewal by the United Stales ol the
Reciprocity treaty. This was uoihing les
than the throwing open of their ports along
the border and encouraging smuggling.—
Smuggling is now carried on to an almost
unlimited extent along the treat ier, and, it
is said, with the knowledge anil connivance
ot the Canadian Ministry. Our corresp m
dent describes the condition ot the province,
as very unpromising. The taxes aud other
burdens are so heavy and the crop aud trade
prospects so poor that thousands ot the in
habitants have already sold out and eruigra
ted.to the Far West. Real estate has fallen
seventy five per cent, in value within the
past eighteen mouths, and it is estimated
that in the city of Toronto alone there are
thirteen hundred empty tenements.
The United States steamer, Commodore
McDonough, which left Port Royal, S. C
on the morning of the 17th inst., iu tnw of
the steamer Donegal, became disabled at. sea
in the storm of last Tuesday, and, after
struggling with the wind and waves through
that day and the succeeding night, sank on
Wednesday morning. All on board of the
McDonough, forty-four in number, were
rescued by the Donegal, but lost everything
which they had on board excepting the
clothing they wore at the time. The Done
gal arrived safe.y at this port. yesterday
morniug.
George Gi ‘lwin, the young man commit
ted to the Tombs on Tuesday last, on the two
charges of fraudulently obtaining a four
thousand dollar check from the New Haven
Postoffice, and of procuring over two hun
dred thousand dollars worth of bonds from
a St. Nicholas Hotel safe by presenting a
forged order, was yesterday arraigned on
tbe latter of these complaints, pleaded guilty,
and was icmanded to the Tombs for trial.—
He was arraigned on, and pleaded guilty to,
tbe fgrmer charge on Wednesday.
The swindling developments are taking a
larger field, and extending from metropoli
tan financial circles to the army. Colonel
Amos Binney, Chief Paymaster in the De
partment of Virginia and North Carolina,
has within a few days been ordered from
Richmond to Washington for examination
on complaint of having so manipulated the
funds in his charge, amounting to some mil
lions, as to pocket between thirty and fifty
thousand dollars. The suspicion is that this
was done by paying the soldiers in seven-
thirty bonds, and then receiving a share of
the profits which the Virginia banks made
by buying these up at a discount of four and
eight dollars on the hundred.
There was a terrible railroad collision in
tbe Pennsylvania oil regions yesterd >3- morn
ing. A freight train and a passenger train,
ruuning in opposite direc.ion od me same
track, en the Oil Creek road, near Titusville,
came together at considerable speed and
with terrific force, crashing tbe cars into
tragmentg and killing nine persons and in
juring many others. The catastrophe is said
to have been caused by tbe engineer of the
freight train running up on the main track
to get en a switch about the time the other
train was due. An intervening curve pre
vented these on either train from seeing the
other.
An excursion train on the Old Colony
Railroad, while re’m ning to Boston on
Wednesday evening, collided with a hand car
on the track, and the engine, tender and six
cars, with about one hundred and fifty per
sons, including many ladies, were thrown
from the track, three ol the cars tumblin
down an embankment. Strangely enough
no one was killed, and only about half
dozen were injured, and none of these, it is
said, in a serious manner.
The sleamb >af Ar gosy No. 3, while going
up the Ohio river on last Monday evening,
having on board three hundred men of the
Seventieth Ohio infancy, Was driven ashore
in the storm eighty miles below Louisville
The corcussion exploded the mud drums,
and twelve men were badly scalded, two of
whom died imm dialely, and two others
were not < xpected to recover. Fiom thirty
to lor.7 of the solaiers jumped overboard
aud eight oi them were drowned.
The investigation into the circumstances
a'tending the death of John F. Westlake,
one of the v c'ims of the explosion on board
the steamer Arrow, was resumed belore
Coroner Lynch, in Brooklyn,yesterday, and
the evidence went to prove that the valve
in the steam pipe connecting the two boilers
had been lift closed, through the negligence
of the engiueer, whose duty it was to have
seen that it was open. The result was that
the steam intended for two boilers was con
centrated in one, and hence the disaster.—
Tbe investigation was further adjourned to
Monday next.
The new steamship New York, belongin
to the Atlantic Mail Steamship Company,
went on a trial trip yesterday, during which
she ran sixteen knots within the hour in.
the lower bay. She will be open to the in
spection ot the public to-morrow, at pier
43, North river, and will sail for Aspinwall
on the 1st ot September.
There was another auction sale yesterday
ot some of the property used by our Su
pervisors’ Volunteering Committee in their
late recruiting operations. The building on
the Battery, 30 by 100 »feet, constructed ot
white pine timber, and used for enrollin
purposes, was kuocked down for only 330
dollars. Three sales used by the committee
were sold, and brought about what they
cost when new.
Judge Edmonds, in a communication
which we pnblish this morning, criticises
the case of Colchester, the spiritualist, tried
in the United States District Court at Buf
falo, and our editorial remarks of yesterday
on the matter. The Judge contends that
the result ot this trial will have no depress
ing effect on the minds of true and intelli
gent spiritualists, who themselves regarded
Colchester as little else than a juggler, and
he thinks it will be a fortunate thing tor
spiritualism if the jury’s verdict against the
accused shall result in silencing him forever,
The Judge says he was solicited to become
Cobhester's counsel, but refused on consci
entious grounds.
It appears that, under an arrangement
with the New Jersey Central Railroad Com
pany, garbage and offal Irom this city are
being emptied into the docks which that
company are constructing at the terminus
of their road south of Jersey City. This
has become a great nuisance to the inhabi
tarns of the latter place, poisoning the at
mosphere and threatening the generating of
an epidemic. Remonstrance having proved
unavailing, a public meeting was held in
Jersey Ciry last night to take measures for
closing this nursery of disease, and it was
resolved to apply to the courts for an in
junction to compel the company to stop
using the docks for the purpose mentioned
Yesterday the stock market was firmer —
Governments were steady, and gold closed
at 143|.
There was a fair degree of activity iu
commercial circles yesterday, and both for
eign and domestic goods sold quite freely at
full prices. Groceries were fairly active at
full prices. Cotton was steady. Petroleum
w is firmer under a fair export demand. On
’Change flour was the turn better on State
grades. Wheat was steady. Corn was firm
er Oats were 2c. higher. Pork was higher;

ARTIFICIAL FISH BREEDING.
Stephen H. Ainsworth, West Bloomfield,
Ontario county, New York, gives the follow
ing interes ing account of his experiments
in fish breeding. He says: “I.have taken a
very great interest iu the growing of brook
trout artificially, iu ponds on my place,
have tried from seven years old down to
last springs hatching, in three different
ponds, keening the young fry till two years
old before I put them into the large pond
with the old ones, at which time they were
able to take care ot themselves. Tbe origi
nal stock was put in ray large pond, con
taining sixly-oue square rods of ground,
fourteen teet deep, supplied from springs,
three years ago last spring one thousand
four hundred m number, age then from one
to h ur years old. They weigh now from
one io lour pounds each. They have been
fed daily with liver, and are about as tame
as Listens—come at call, and take their food
like pigs, throwing themselves dear, out of
the water in th* ir haste ior the f od, by the
five hundred at a time, and ev^n take it out
of a spoon six inches above fhe water.—
Think of seeing five hundred trout, all at
the same instant, weighing from one to
three ads, and from twelve to eighteen
inches 1 mg. The like has never been
seen in ibis country to my knowledge before.
It, will well pay the disciple of Sir Izaak
VYallon a long journey to see; visitors from
hundreds ol mil s come to see them—ponds
and fix urts for breeding and growing. The
trout spawns iu November, December and
January. When on their spawning beds I
take them, and « xude their ova artificially:
and impu-gnate them with melt Irom the
males, and then place the spawn iii troughs,
on gravel with pure siting water running
over them. They haieh in 78 days, and
commence feeding from forty.to fitly days
after, during which lime they live on the
egg a't tched to them.
L ist fad I took in ihia way sixty thousand
eggs and hatched say' forty thousand oi
ibeu», which are noW Irooi two to three,
inches long. With all things right, nearly
all will hatch in this way. These will grow
to a pound weight in feu 1- years, with wa
ter and plenty of food.
A two pound trout will furnish about
eight tliousind spawn ; smaller ones less in
proportion. They' c-HBoience spawning
when one year old.
Iu this way they can be increased and
grown to any extent, and all the pouds and
streams in the country stocked to over
flowing.
Tnev can be raised in this way with great
pr fi f >r market.
Tnu Concord cnriesoondent of the Man
chas er Uoi.m notices that, a few davs sine,
a large box c tr came down from Vermon’,
containing h thousand geese. Besides three
pigs and a d< z-n ducks. The interior was
partitioned so as to make four platforms.
We uo rot recollect the dimensions 6f ‘he
car, but a li tie figuring proved that, giv ; ng
each goose a square foot, there was room
for at -least a til tusaud, and the car was
filled. Th.se geete were probably going to
ll'iode Island to be tailed for that k-giviug.
Poultry irom that State usually bears a
larger price in B <tton market than from up
country, owing to the ex'ra pains eiven to
fattening.
The following well considered and
timely article appeared in a late number of
the Louisville Journal. We commend the
spirit of patriotism with which it was writ
ten and which it invokes:
The Duty ip Patriots—Independent
support rendered the President will make
him independent. r i his is the grand reason
why liberal men should sustain him in bis
earnest efforts to educe order from chaos,
and lasii; g peace from the wreck and debris
c f war. Fanatical men will oppose him be
cause he is pursuing a course midway be
tween the two cxiremes of violence. If,
therefore, tbe liberal masses of the country
do not yield him their confidence, if they do
not cheer him and, nerve his arm, he must
necessarily tall between the opposing tac
tions that are engaged in making war upon
him. But have the honest, conservative
citizens of the United Stales considered
what is involved in the overthrow ot the
present liberal policy which he has innugu-
rated and is endeavoring to carry out ? We
think hot. It is admitted by almost every
body that that policy is, under all the cir
cumstances of the cise, just, fair, and wise;
and it is manifest that it is much more gen
erous and magnanimous to the South than
the great mass of Southern people expected.
It is. we think, in the main satisfactory to
them, and such as they are generally willing
to conform'to. Upon Mr. Johnson’s plai-
lorm the people ot the South will rally and
again become f lithlul and honest citizens of
the country. Every good man will read iv
admit that suen a consummation is highly
desirable under whatever aspect the subject
may be contemplated. Every one wants
p»ace and prosperity. Tae soldiers ot the
Republic who have j ist gone home want to
attend to their private affairs. They waDt
uo more figtitiug at present. Tueir farms
and merchandise, their wives and hi tie ones,
have more charms lor them now than the
waviug of plumes, the charge to battle, or
the shouts of victory. Iu the S rath there
are wide spread desolations, poverty, and
sufferings ot the dreadful conflict. The sol
diers there want to repair the wastes and
save what they can Irotn the general wreck
This is the thougut uppermost in their

themselves, to have rest add educ de
their children, the people will accept, w<
ihiub, in good faith the free basis, provided
they can have their rights in other respect
This, we understand,is whit they are wit
ling to do, aud this is what, if we do not
misread the signs of the times, the liberal
majority iu the North are willing they
should have the opprtunity to ucc >mplish
Tnis, it you please, is a compromise, and ;
fair one. It is best lor the North and thi
S rath. It is for the interest ot the North
that the South should be again rich and
happy, and as speedily as possible. Wes
tern farms and Eastern workshops will soon
pour lorih as of o il their txhausdess pro
ducts, and 'hey want tor them a good mar
ket In the S rath—which they caunot have
there without q net, order, and law, with
out civil government aud a contented pso
pie.
Now if the pacific measures which the
Government lias adopted lor the accom
plishment ot the great purpose! glanced at
shall be deleated, i: will be tor a set of princi
pies and a line of conduct less conciliatory
and more offensive toward the South. Ii
will be the exchai ge of a policy acceptable
to the South—uot peihaps such as she
would voluntarily choose, but acceptable—
for a policy that will be revolting to her
which will make her rebel to the core ii
feeling, which will give rise to endless heart,
burning and bitter discontent. Isn’t it a 1
most iufinitely important that the course
which will be cheerfully acquiesced iu by tin
Southern masses should be carried our, in
order to avoid that one which will be hated
for generations with the measureless rancor
of Rome and Carthage ?
Can any r man in his senses wish to seo
uch a spirit take permanent possession of
the mass of Southern society ? But the Gov
ernment is strong. Admitted. Very strong.
Undoubtedly; but what government is
strong enough to permit halt of its territory'
to be inhabited by a race morose and sullen,
filled with unappeasable animosities,burning
with a sense ot oppression, and brave and
desperate enough to welcome a foreign foe
with acclimations and triumphal arches?—
Such a risk is too great for any government
and any people to run. Besides, who wants
country of white slaves ? Who wants a
third of the States reduced - to conquered
provinces, pinned to the Union by' bayonets,
and domineered by military satraps? Who
desires to see such a spectacle as this in the
model republic ? And, then, what will it cost
in cash, and who will pay it ? Why, the na
tional expenses under a provincial, brute-
force policy of this nature would foot up
hundreds of millions of dollars p r annum
in addition to the interest upon our present
public debt.
The cost in dollars, let it be rrmaiked
furthermore, g r eat as it may b j , will be as
nothing when compared with the cost in
morals, the cost in re -illation, the cost in
principle, civilization, and liberty. The
costs growing out ot losses in all these, no
arithmetic can compute. The consequences
of such a system must be bid, all bad, ma
terially and morally, and the final results
uch as no mm cm fully -comprehend or
foresee.
The Ad ministration is technically “ Re
publican.” We appeal to the conservative
masses of that party, the reasoning, think
ing men of that party, and the liberal men
ot all parties to weigh well the 'perils in
volved in the frustration and defeat of the
present plan ot restoration which has been
adopted, aud to sustain it with all their
strength.
Mississippi has passed the ordinance sol
emnly prohibiting slavery in that State.—
We believe S uth Carolina and every other
Southern State will follow suit. The ex
tinction of that institution is accomplished.
Isn’t that sufficient? If proper representa
tives be seut to Congress will not good pol-
cy and propriety’, as well as justice and
good faith demand their admissi m and the
peedy rehabilitation of all the States lately
in revolt ? Let us not miss the golden op-
r;unify to bind the Union together with
the s rung ties of brotherhood and interest
—; ies m >re potent than bands of steti, or
armed legions aud shotted cannon, more
lasting than . fortresses ot adamant, and
whose tenacity but increases with the lapse
of time and the processes of change.

About four o’clock i*. M. ou the 21st
instant, wbile 1 was lying on my bed m my
room at the City Hotel, no oti.er person
being in the room, some one knocked at mv
door. Alter partially dressing myself 1
uuiocked my door, when two officers, pa
Pally dressed iu ihe Uni ed S ales niii.orm
eaten d, one of v horn staved that he at one
.time had been a prisoner in my hands, and
that he had come to thank me for kindness
received at the time. Trie ot her said he knew
me, and had come to make his persona
respects. After a tew minutes of p.diie con
versa!ion, they arose and hade me good oye,
remarking that as lb«-y discovered I wa-
un well they would not, remain any longer
About five miuu es alter their departure, 1
heat'd another knock at my d - or, which 1
agiin ui.bolted as soon as p sssiiile, when
tk o other officers dressed in United States
uniform, neither of whom I had overseen
h< fore, entered. One oi them advanced aud
extended liis hand, which 1 look. While in
the act ot shaking bauds he remarked, ‘ Is
this Gen. Wheelei ?’ and upon answering
in the affirmative, he stated tl a r he was
Col. Blackburn. The other offieir iti.medi
ately s ized me by both arms, when Col.
Blackburn, having given n•> previous inten
tions ot his hostile purp se, struck me
violently'twice up >n my head with a club
of considerable dimensions.
I struggled away from the man who held
me, and as I left the room both the assail
ants followed me, the other officer holding a
pistol in a threatening manuer. I am con
fident I only prevented him Irom shooting
me by keeping Col. Blackburn between him
and inyselt. Col. Blackburn continued his
attempts to strike me, but I succeeded iu
warding off his blows with my arms. Fi
nally a gentleman caught hold of the other
offieer, when Col. Blackbu.n hastily ran
back and ran down stairs. I am satisfied
that the attempt was upon my life, and that
the pistol would have been fired at me but
from the fact of Col, Blackburn being be
tween myself and the officer holding it.
I would here state that I never issued any
orders whatever to the prejudico of Colonel
Blackburn or any ol bis men, and that all
ol his men that tell into my hands were
kindly treated aad allowed to return to their
command in bodies in order that they might
not be molested by any one. I would fur
ther state that while passing through the
country I do not recollect that any com
plaint was made by any of Col. Blackburn’s
family, or that anything whatever was ta
ken from them.
I am, General, very respectluily,
Your ob’t serv’t,

General: I have the honor to acknowltdge
the receipt of your r, port of tlie investiga
t on ordered by the Major General command
ing, into the causes for the assault upon Mr.
Joseph Wheeler, late Major General in the
arm3 r of the so called Confederate States, at
the City Hotel in this city. Your report has
been carefully and impartially considered by
the Major General commanding, and the
facts therein elicited and brought out, with
other facts in the same connection which
have been brought to his notice, show the
attack on Mr. Wh-eeler bj' I t Col. Blackburn,
and Capt. Quinn, 4th Tennessee Cavalry,
wholly unprovoked, unjustifiable, and un
becoming an officer in the service of the
United States.
Mr. Wheeler, as a paroled prisoner, is
justly entitled to protection, instead of be
ing exposed to assaults; and his position,
by vieiue of bis parole, an unarmed man—
and hence without means of defence, should
have been, and must in future be, respected;
and, not Gnly in hi3 case, but in the case of
all other persons occupying a similar posi
tion.
Yt?n will convey to Lt C.J. 13! .ckburn
and to (Dipt. Qainn, of the 4 b Tenn. Oav.,
the notification of tbe displeasure and rep
riniand of Major Gen. Thomas, 1<t their un-
officetlike and highly repreliensibie conduct,
and say to them, that tbe muster oat of the
service ot their regiment has been the only
reason for their not b» - ing subjected to ai-
rest aud trial by Court Martial Their con
duct at the time of the assault, as well as
ubsequ> ni ’y, has been an insult and dis
grace to the uniform 'hey wore, and isju^tly
diacountenanced and frowned down upon
by every honorable and high-minded ofiictr
and enlisted man in the service.
The Major General commanding directs
that you will further require of Lieut. Co).
BLchbarn and Capt. Q linn positive and
satisfactory assurance for their future goed i
coEduct, and the strict c-ompliance with all ‘
