WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER Prom the New York Herald, 25th uit. 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; es were made at i>31,75, closing at $31,- 152J Lard was steady. Whisky was firm. 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 minds. How best to do it engiosses their thoughts and occupies their time. YYe ar< speaking ol the principal f<.c s and of the majority.

We introduce the following, as it gives us an opportunity of doing justice to a gentle man connected with Gen. Wheeler’s S:aff, viz: Major A. S. Roscoe. Dr. R iscoe told us that he only repeated the statements of Gen. Wheeler to himself, and that be, (the Diictor,) was not responsible for the state ments made. We are glad thus to make the amende honorable : Headqr’s 4th Brig , Dist of Mid. ) Tenn., and Post of Nashville, v Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 27, 18(35 ) General orders No. 10. In accordance wi(h orders from Headq’rs Mil. DiV. of Teuncssee, the practice ol car rying concealed weapons upon the person in the streets ot Nathvilie is prohibited.— The Post Provost Marshal will in future cause the arrest oi any officers, enlisted men or citizens found in the streets of Nashville with pistols, knives, or other weapons, c >n- coaled upi u their persons, confiscating the weapons. Commanding officers of regiments, or de tached commauds, will as early as practica ble cause an inspection of their men and quarters, with a view to the seizure <4 all arms not authorized in the equipment ot the command, reporting such action promptly to these headquarters.

Tenn 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.

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.

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.
