I'a it in, Oct. 6, IHOr,. |
It is now officially acknowledged that the
cholera has been In Paris for the last fnrtriipht,
hut no relume of the number of caaea are yet
published. The effect of this in natuarally to give
currency to mostexagerated reports. I wan thus
told two days ago, by the usually welt inform
nd correspondent of a foreign paper, that there
had been fifty deaths from cholera the previous
day at the Hotel I>ieu, while from another and
trustworthy source, I learned that the number
was only twelve. Yesterday it was rumored
that there bad been two hundred deaths,
probably another exaggeration. Hut there ia
no doubt that the cholera bes broken out. not
In one quarter, but in all parts of Paris, and al
ready many are leaving nr preparing to leave
ibe city. There can be little doubt that the
UlUMiOt. occurs at e time which threatens
great seterity. So long and so hot a Summer
h» j not occurred for Rlnro than half a century,
yesterday, ihe 6th October, being the first day
when there waa any sensible diminution of
the caoicular heat This unusual duration of
the het season has been accompanied by such
a want of rain that the capital has been tie
prlveß of its usual allowance of water at a time
whet) for health a greater supply than ordi
nary would bavo been required. The Seine
has never been known to be so low, the height
being now two foot lielow xero (72 centime
tres) on the standard of (ha Pout ltoyal. Al
most all the floating hatha are shut up for
the want of water, and the ateamboat running
to St Cloud having got aground a few days
ago on ill rot.urn, the passengers landed fr. m
the middle of the river, aud by picking their
steps, reached the bunk wiihotii a welted
foot. The public fountains have long ceased lo
run, and tlm penury of water has been such
that the streets have only lieen watered lor
four hours a day, idatead of from auntise lo
■unset ss Is the usual custom in summer. In
many parts nf Faria the effluvia from the sew
•nr baa been at times overpowering, and it Is
only wonderful that up to the present timo no
epidemic lias resulted from this aombinali.ni
of causes. Paris Is unquestionably In a lar
b tier condition to resist the attacks of the
disease than it was on previous occasion -.
Great thoroughfares have been opened in every
direction, and there Is a free circulation of air
such as waa never known here amen the first
bouses were crowded together on 'the lalsnil
of the flite But the new streets ere com -
posed of lofty masses of buildings six to seven
stories high, built round small courts, frequent
ly with little or no ventilation behind, so that
air and light are wanting In all Uts rooms
that do not upon on the elreot, snd It ia only
the inhabitants of the upper stories that enjoy
a fair proportion of either Add to this tlia'.
every house in Paris Is built over ono or ‘two
cesspools, the periodical emptying of which
infect* the whole street, while there are very
few nparnnenta even in the Inal built houses of
the last built fashionable Boulevard which
have a supply of water from the main pipes.
I need hardly exetisn such lengthy remarks on
the hygenic situation of the capital ns the rt
feota of the cholera in ilia Hurst city in Ru
rope, should It be doomed to s serious visita
lion, must interest the whole world.
European polities are at prt-smt in » strange
state of coma, an unnatural quiet wldrh hr no

the upshot So fur. Prussia's ageruasinn on
the rights both of Danmark anti the German
Confederacy has been crowned by success, and j
the lest Week ha* revealed the astounding fact |
that the loud Liberal party In Prussia has hot-ii |

Welti's in Schleswig and Holstein. He hss ;

°An interesting account of accident caused
by boilers of steam engine* in the year 1864
ha* jott been published by authority There
were in all 16 accidents, resulting m 40 killed
and 15 wounded. Toe object of the publica
tion is to put the proprietors of engines on their
guard as to the cause* of inch accidents, a re
cent act having abolished the r-gnlationa which
pare Government a right of inspection and of
an interference which tended to prvent *he use
of steam power in manv establishment*. Os
the 16 acridenU, one*half are due to the qual
ity of the metal employed, or to the faulty
construction of the fireplaces. The others
resulted either from deposits on the boiler platea,
caused by the quality of the water used and
not property cleared, or from gross negligence.
In 1860 thare were 13,000 Steam engines, in
all 380,000 horse, or nearly 8,000,000 of man
power, used in France. The number has in
creased considerably since that dale. *o that
the average of accident* if hardly more than
one in a thoupaud. Only one locomotive is
included in this enumeration ; four of the
accidents happened in sugar refineries and four
in paper mills.
Os news there is little or none. The Em
peror snd the Empress aro still at Biarritz,
where M M. DeGolt® snd Bismark are paying
their court, srd no doubt their king's also, to
the Autocrat of Western Europe. They are ex
petted at Bt. Cloud in a few days, after a short
stay at Tours, to enable ihe Empress to inspect
Met'ray, tho celebrated penitential colony for
children, whose fame is now more than Euro
pean. As having tho department of youthful
prison* rs in her charge, the Empress wishes to
study tho system ol Mettray, so as to apply it
to other coliuies which she propose* founding.
It 1m said that the Belgian Government has
made serious remonstrance* to its big neighbor,
Franco, on the establishment of recruiting
office* for the Mexican army close to the
frontiers. The result of this is tho desertion of
large bodies of Belgian soldiers, eager for glory
and smart money. Franco has listened to the
complaint, hut does nothing.
Another small Power has made s comrp« n, ’~
cation to a groat one—Saxony to Austria. It
relates to the arrangemen s with regard to the
Duchies, which it is now strongly/ suspected
PftPtsiA hopes to annex to Lftuonburg, with the
consent of France, which of course will seek
an equivalent on iin eastern frontier. Shjh
Saxony to Austria, “If you break your federal
engagement, and agree to any settlement dif
ferent from that- which tho Diet had in view
when it charged you and Prussia with the fed
eral execution against Denmark, we will rec
ognize the Kingdom of Italy.” On tho other
hand, the King of Denmark, who up to the
present, has flattered himself that he might,
after all, he recognised as the legitimate heir to
Schleswig-Holstein, seeing that they ure des
tined to he swallowed by a power too culohra
icd for ita powers of retention, now proposes
to buy buck tho northern part, which iw
inhabited chiefly by Danes. He offers for the
tract, which he covets the same price per head
of Dane at which Prussia snd Austria valued
tho Latteriburger*. In thia proposal he is sup
ported both by Russia and France.
Autumn, which seemed to have abdicated itn
rights on the Parisian atmosphere, set in deci
dcdlv yesterday evening; ami the fall in the
thermometer ia so considerable to day, that I
wbh inclined to write that not autumn, but
winter, had commenced. The swallow* began
their migration with more than usual solemnity
yesterday, going at five o’clock precisely. For a
quarter of an hour previously they were seen
hurrying from all quarters to the Tempi* Mar
ket the immense surface of whose roof they
entirely crowded as if with a black carpet of
feathers. Chirping, and fluttering and darting
about for s f.*w minutes the captains perhaps
they were onlv tho orderlies—seemed to sum
mon loiterers to Join them, and then at Ural they
rose with ''no accord, and, making a swoop
high up In ihe air. aa If to make suro of their
road, they flow rapidly southward.

WellS, by her param >ur, Levi Farewell, which
occurred yesterday morning on 134 street
proves to have been a more diabolical scene
than was at first supposed The evidence of
fore the Coroner’* jury to-day shows that the
murderer deliberately administered chloroform
to his victim while she was asleop, then
strangled her to death, uud put her body into
a closet, robbed her of her watches and jewel
ry, and then fled. Ho has not be; n arrested.
The runriuated purse of tho murderer is said
to have been the refusal of her to marry ; he
having sworn if ho did not marry her no one
else should. Although keeper of a house of
prostitution here, the deceased is said to have
been respectably connected, and has a son at
school at New Brunswick, N. J., for which
place she intended to start this evening. She

In consequence, perhaps, of the raising of
money and other organized efforts to prevent
the mustering out of veteran reserve corps by
the next Congress, it is said tbe authorities
have fully decided to dispose of the corps before
that body meets. General Fry and other
friends of the corps seem to have overreached
themselves and to have pereipitated, by their
own conduct, tbe very action they desired to
prevent. Mr Stanton’s answer to a recent ap
p'ication.for a commitsion in thatjeorps was that
before a" commission could be made out and
forwarded to tbe applicant tbe corps would
cease to exist.
General Grant, it is understood, iB in favor of
mustering out all troops excepting the regular
army. Should th : s prove inadequate to the
exigencies of the future, Congress can increase
it from time to time. A controlling reason of
the'Secretary of War and General Grant is.
tiiat the privates of veteran reserve corps uni
versally desire to be mustered out, and the
officers are unanimously opposed. As the
Ist'er disinterestedness is not above such act
ou fbo recommendations have iess weight.

Interesting from Washington,- We under
stand that the delegation from the convention
—Messrs. AVardlaw, Dawkins and Huger—
who visited Washington to lay before the
President the memorials ip reference to Messrs.
Davis, .Stephens, Magrath and Treuholm, have
returned home ; aud we are glad to learu that
the President, in their last interview, intima
ted to them that ho would so far meet their
wishes as to release Gov. Magrath from con
finement on his parole, as he bad already done
Messrs. Stephens and Tranholm. His views
as to the position of Mr. Davis ourriaders
have already learned from the published ac
count ol the first interview.
The delegation were very much gratified
with their intercourse with tbe President.
They found him fully conscious of the diffi
culties with which the State was surrounded,
and anxious to assist her in successfully over
coming them. The delegation were able to
assure him—and we feel confident that our
Legislature will confirm their assurance—that
tlio Stato was ready, honestly and energetically,
to-endeavor to meet the necessities of their
fiosition ; that they would afford all the neces
sary protection to the person and property of
tbo freed men, and cordially co-operate with the
Administration in making the new relation
mutually advantageous. And it must be
obvious tiiat our Legislature can do much, and
ought to do all it can, to strengthen the
President’s hands iu his contest with the
extreme radicals. He has courageously and
conscientiously siood between us and such a
ruthless abuse of power on the partof the radi
cals os it is fearful to contemplate. It is clear
that us we streuglhen his hands we secuie our
own safety.

Horrible Death from Hydrophobia.—Ed
win Bartholomew, one of the uufortuuate per
sons bitten by a rabid dog in this city last
June, died of hydrophobia about five o'clock
this morning. We understand Air. B. com
plained of being untveli day before yesterday
morning, but thought nothing of his illness un
til yesterday afternoon, when he went to con
sult Dr. Torrence. During the day be acled
very strangely, accusing his friends of being
afraid ol him, and thinking him mad. Atone
time he became quite angry at a friend who
met him at the doctor’s office. Late in the af
ternoon he was attacked witli a severe tit of
hydrophobia. The local editor of the Herald
thus describes bis vistit at this time :
“We visited the room in which he was con
lined, f.ud beheld a spectacle which out did alj
the horrors that wo have ever witnessed or
heard of.
"The young man was a raving maniac, and
was the subject of the most dreadful of visions.
From his mouth the poisonous frothy saliva
flowed m copious quantities, and his eyes—
wild, glaring aud enlarged- almost started from
their sockets, whilst his hands were in motioD
all the time, as though grasping at something
or defending himself from some imagiuary per
son who was attempting his life. His ravings
were really appalling. He was not secured at
a late hour, although well guarded by some of
our citizens.”
About an hour before his death the patient
became perfectly quiet, and talked rationally
with Sheriff Humphrey and others until a few
momeuts before dissolution took place. He
told them he was suffering from the hydropho
bia, aud would die shortly.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
THREE MEN TORN TO PIECES.
A LARGE BOILER THROWN TWELVE
HONORED FEET.
A MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENT
COMPLETELY WRECKED.
[From the New York Tribune.]
In the small settlement known as Blazing
Star, about five miles from Rahway, N. J., the
boiler of John A. Steiuhauser’s establishment
for preparing phosphate of lime exploded about
five o’c.ock Tuesday afternoon with such terri
ble effect that the buildibg, a frame 100 feet
square, was entirely wrecked, and the tubular
boiler, 14$ by 16 feet, hurled to a distance of
400 yards from the place, and 100 feet high,
when it struck the earth, throwing up the dirt
to a great height, and then rebounded 85 feet
further.
A number of men were in the building,
and three of them who stood near the boiler
were killed, two of them instantly, but the
third lived until the foibwjgg morning.
The names of the killed were A. F. Beyse,
superintendent, a resident of tbe vicinity;
J. Alaster. b jiler.maktr. of this city, and J.
Broush, fireman, of Williamsburgh. Boyse’s
clothes prere torn completely from his body,
and Broush’s skull was crushed to atoms,
rendering it probable that neither of the two
unfortunate men was concious of tbe least
Buffering. Master did not believe he was
seriously hurt, and the following morning was
calking about whdn he complained of a dif
ficulty of breathing. His respiration grew
shorter and shorter for two or three hours,
when he expired.
The accident is ascribed to the defective
steam gunge which was this city.
Mr. Beyse had no idea of the quantity of steam
in the boiler (and he was an experienced engi
neer, having been in one of onr gunboats, and
on the Ostego at the time of her destruction by
a torpedo) and therefore anticipated no danger,
supposing the guage would indicate the pres
sure upon the boiler.
All of the killed were men of family, and their
remains were promptly eared for by Mr. Stein
liauser, and lots purchased for their interment
in Greenwood Cemetery. He has also gener
ously offered to provide, we understand, for the
widow and children of the superintendent.
A strange circumstance connected with * the
casualty is that Beyse s-emed to have a pre
monition of his fate. When he was in New
York last Monday with Steinhauser, Fie said he
felt a strong disposition to have his life insured,
and returning home asked his wife where she
would have him buried in the event of his
being killed, saying he feltas if something were
about to happen to him.
The boiler had 163 tubs, which were thrown
100 feet apart, and this fact, with the tremen
dous force of tbe explosion, indicates that there
must have been at least 150 pouncU of steam
to the square inch.
Noble Sentiments— ln his address to the
Sooth Carolina delegation, President Johnson
used the following language :
So far from pondering or looking to future
elevation, he must be believed when he said
he had not au eye to such preferment. If, he
continued, I could be instrumental in restoring
the Government to its former relations, and
see the people once more united and happy, I
should feol that I had more than filled the
measure of my ambition. IfX could feol that
I had contributed to Ihis in anv degree, my
heart would be more than gratified, and my
ambition full.
Upon which the Journal of Commerce re
marks:
A nobler ambition no man could have. To
restore tbe “former relation” of the Government
the blood and treasure of the past four years
have been poured out. The countless graves
along the banks of onr mighty rivers were
heaped up for this. The innumerable teiys of
widows and orphaus were shed for this. The
agonies beyond number or expression, the
long griefs, the waiting, the watching of mil
lions, were all for this. And for this because,
since God left man to governments of his own
devising, there has not been elsewhere on the
surface ofthis sad old world a Government so
benefieient as]the old American Union. Under
it we were happy, prosperous, strong. The
very exhibition we have made of our strength
in this struggle is the proof of the gooduess of
the old plan. And that plan had its chief
merit in the “relationts of the Government.”
And is this moment any less important than
the past, than any moment for four years, in
the work of restoring those relations ? Is he
any less an enemy of his country who now
opposes the Union, than ho who opposed it
four years ago ? Is it not a period of danger,
as imminent as any former period T If we go
forward in the right track we ahail erect
again the magnificent fabric of the fathers. If
we go wrong, we shall leave the memory of
the republic as the saddest story in ths history
of nations. The right wav leads to the re
establishment of the old Union, with its old
powers and limits.
Bkoastopoi. — It is difli 3it to imagine a more
desolate p’ace than this poor town ; it is a posi
tive sepulchre. Its sloping hills, once covered
with picturesque gardens, are transformed into
arid wastes; one can no longer distinguish the
places where the vines grew, and a barren moss
replaces all the verdure which formed ten vears
agnsuch ach urning panorama. The population
of the city, exceeding 40 (100 before the Critreau
war, has since dwind'ed down to 5,000. The
country is despoiled of all its commerce. The
factories are deserted ; the cultivation of tbe to
bacco, which might compete wito that of the
Turkish declines every day ; and the landed nro
prietors have a'most entirely rennnnced making.
A whole fleet of barges, full of fruit, issued for

entered the harbor 368.000 rubles worth of mer

roub'es worth went out. This year the difler
r-nce threaters to be more formidable, lor the
choking up ( f the water courses has dried up tbe
meadows and caused great prejudice to tbe rear

rior vtoe dressers. Vi'icnlture is in distress from
the following circumstances t Since the emigra
tion of the Tartars the care of the vines is con
tided ti the soldiers sent here to form theg rri
son ; th’re are some from Archangel, Helsing
fors and Foioisk, who have never seen a grape io
their own country, and are therefore supremely
incapable nt turning the vine to a profitable ac
count. Instead of wine they make a blackish
sort ofiiq’or. Before the war the vintage in the
Crimea yielded above three millions and a half
gallons of wine. chi. fly us n d for mixture with for
eign wines. With respect to tobacco it is the
S'.me : whilst the Crimea would suflt :e to snppiv
the whole of Russia with thr-e two essential cb
jec sos contemporary consumption, and even to
export them to foreign countries. Seriously, for
European traders there are euortrous profits to
be rea ized iu this country without any risk.
Much corn, however, cannot be producedyin the
agricultural districts—the sun parches the ear
before it comes to maturity, but the same sun
produces alt sorts of truit in general abundance
and of prtdigious siz->. Without exagg-rat on,
there is a harvest of millions to in the
Crimea, in ftui* and tobacco, aud nothing would
be easier than their exportation.

Ah Earthquake in San Francisco—
The Shock Very Severe.
San Fbancpco, Oct. B.—At a quarter before
1 o,clock to-day the serverest earthquake ever
felt here frightened almost the entire- popula
tion out of their houses into the streets. Du
ring half a minute there wgre two tremendous
shocks, which caused buildings to rock to aud
fro in a manner altogether alarming. Services
were over in most of the churches. A large
congregation at the Unitarian ehltrch was being •
dismissed when the shock commenced. The
ladies shriekfd, and all pushed for the doers
faster than they could be accommodated with
exit. Similar scenes took place at St. Mary’s
Cathedral and some other churches and Sunday
schools..
The rush was so great from the Catholic
church on Valejo street that the large doors to
the main entrance were carried away, and
several persons were injured by being tram
pled upon. The walls of many buildings
were cracked in many places, and it surprises
every one that large, stately edifices like the
Occidental and Cosmopolitan Hotels, and other
buildings of that class, were not generally morn
seriously injured. M ire or less plastering fell
from perhaps half the cei lings of the eity.
Cornices fell from many buildings. The en
tire front ofa four-story brick building just
erected on Third street fell outward, covering
about half that wide street with fragments.
One independently constructed chimney of a
brick house fell and crushed through the roof
of the dining room, coming down upon tables
and dishes to the astonishment ofjthe boarders
who were taking a lunch. Three" of the ser
vants were injured. Two Chinamen were
badly injured by the falling of a forewall on
Jackson street.
The City Hall bell commenced tolling on
account of the vibration of the tower, and tbe
interior wajls of the building were much bro
ken up. Fissures two or three feet wide were
opened In the ground in the lower part of the
city, where it is made lane, and some of this
ground was elevated many'feet above its for
mer level.
Brief accounts from Sacramento, Stockton,
and Sau Jose, represent the shock as the se
verest ever felt in those citie3. It was not felt
at Marysville nor at Placsrville, but the town
of Santa Crns felt it very severely, some of the
brick buildings suffering much damage and
two being destroyed.
Death of Gen. Lamoriciere.— Foreign news
received by the Moravian announces the death
of Gen. Lamoriciere, we!! known by his cam
paigns in Algeria, and, later, as Commander
in-Cbief of the Papal army. Christoplie Leon
Louis Juchait de Lamoriciere was born in
Nantes, February 6th, 1806,and was descended
from an old legitimist family. After receiving
a military education, he joined tbe corps of
Zouaves in Algeria nt the time of its forma
tion (November, 1830.) He took au active
part iu most of the brilliant exploits of the
French army agaipst the Arabs, and the celeb
rity of the Zouaves for superior organization
was chiefly his merit. On the departure of
Bugeand, iu 1845, he became Provisional Gov
ernor-General of Algeria ; but, hoping to ex
ercise a greater influence upon the destiny of
Algeria in the French Parliament, be went, iu
1846, and became a member of the Chamber
of Deputies, which position he retained untß
1848. During the re'volution of 1848, he un
successfully exerted himself, first, in favor of
forming anew administration under Louis
Phillips, and next iu favor of the regeDcy of
the Duchess of Orleans. He was a prominent
member of the Constituent apd Legislative As
sembles ; was conspicuous iu June, 1848,[in
the fight against the insurgents iu Paris, and
officiated as Geu. Cavignacs Minister of War
until Decamber, 1848. He was a strenuous and
unwavering opponent of Louis Napoleon, and
after the coup cl etai of December 2d, 1851, was
arrested aud detained until January 9, 1852.
In April, 1860, he was appointedjby Pope Pius
IX Commander-in-Chief of the Papal troops.
He hoped to make head against the army of
the King of Daly and prevent the unification
of that country, but he was defeated by the
Italians at Castiefidardo, and his troops of vol
unteers dispersed jinee then he has lived
retired and not takeu a prominent part iu aDy
political movement.
Marriage Among the Italian Prihsthoob.
—The recent presentation, in the Episcopal
Convention at Philadelphia, of a communica
tion appealing to Americans for support of a
portion of the Italian priesthood, in their efforts
to assimilate their state to that of the Episco
pal clergy, is the first recognition we have seen
in this country of a most interesting and Im
portant fact in the s cial and intellectual
revolution in new Italy. Most of our readers
nre no doubt aware of the progress of Protest
antism at Florence, N.iples, Milan and other
points in Italy, under the auspices of the diffe
rent foreign evangelical societies and under the
cordial protection of the Italian Government;
but the gradJal approach of a considerable
number of the Romt h priesthood to Protestant
feeling in a very essential particular is not so
well known, we believe.
This tendency has been developed chiefly
among the ten thousand Italian priests who
signed, a few years since, Padre Passaglia’s
protest against the temporial powerof tkePope:
ands (though still in the minority even among
these, the priests who advocate the marri age of
their order are not despicably few, while their
activity and their influence are ranch greater
than their numbers. Padre Pallia does no*,
himself, pronounce decidedly lor the new idea,
but thinks that while it i« better for the pries’-
hood as a general thing not to marry, marriage
should by no means be forbidden them as a
class. He does not profess to attach great
value to the Idea as an element of reform in the
Church, of which he considers temporial pos~
sessions and politics the bane ; but there are
able men among his followers who regard tbe
marriage of the priesthood as one of the prime
necessities of a progressive and enlightened
Church. ®
