Treasure Trove Extraordinary. A Couple of Walkers in tlic Sewers of Nrib York —“ Pay Dirt Shirk Heavily — Diamonds by the Dus'icl Several years ago a lit'le German Jew, named Schwartz, believing that in the sewers of New \ ork might he found many articles of value which had bcon lost, entered them, and for three days wandered through the laby rinth. ilc was very successful, pick, ing up some 527.000 worth of jewelry, Bpoons, forks, cct.; but having lost his way the first day, he believed that he might have found much more could he have carried out the original plan, which was to visit Fifth and Madison avenues Broadway, and tnc wealthy portions of the city. So great, how ever, were the difficultics and dangers which he encountered, that nothing could induce him again to visit‘‘New York underground.” His adventure for a time created quite a little sensa tion, but there were none venturous enough -to attempt a second, until Wednesday of last week, when an adventurous party of three entered the sewer of Houston street, at the ferry of East River, intending to remain for one week, during w; icii time they pro posed visiting every portion of the city where there seemed to he any chance of finding treasure trove. The party consisted of Miss Mary Walker, a young lady of eighteen, her brother James, aged sixteen, and Mich el Grady, an old man of about fifty.— The project originated with Miss Walker, and the “how” of it is in this wis l : Some two years ago James Walker, jr., was a merchant doing a good business at 991-2 Bowery. lie was getting rich fast, but in an evil hour he was prevailed upon by friends, to use some of his money which had been “salted down,’’ in speculation in geld. The result was easy to be fore, seen. lie lost. To recover he took money irom bi3 busimss. Again be lost. His business became embar. rassed; in despair he committed sui cide, and Miss Walker and her brother found themselves, six months ago, the inhabitants of a loom on the upper floor of a double tenement, 509 Sixih street. Miss Waker, some months ago in an old paper, wrapped around a parcelwhich she was taking home from a “slop- shop,” saw an account of Sell wartz’s undertaking, and resolved 0- imitate it. Maps were obtained and the city studied carefully Each day’s work forherse] , her brother and Grady who was formerly in her father's cin p'oy was carefully maiked out. Every preparation which incited knowledge could prepare for was made, and the adventurers started. I wish that \ might have room to tell the story of the week they passed, but my manuscript warns me that I must condense. Each day they ren dezvoused several turns in the cham bers at the street corners. On Sunday they had filled all the bags they had with them, some fifteen in number and Miss Walker return'd. Jam s Walker and Grady continued their search, emptying six of their hags at the corner of '1 wenty-second street and Fifth avenue. On Wednesday morn ing at a very early hour, and befoie people were stiring, Miss Walker was at the p’ace with a wagon, liomoving the'iron plate, which ; t each street corner leads into a small chamber con necting with the sewer, she found her brother, but not Grady. He had started - ff on another trip, although the six bags had boon tilled in Mmlis n avenue. The loose treasure was | laced in extra bags, and tlie whole driven to a Broadway jeweller’s. The rest were taken from the places on Thursday morning. A watch was set lo>- Grady but up to this time of writing nothing has been heard from him, and it is feared that he has perished.—The ro> suit of the week’s search is roughly es timated ut 81.500,090. 1 saw the treasures yesterday, piled in three heaps on the door, and the jeweller in. formed me that it must have cost over $3,000,000; but, in consrqueaoe of tl e old-lashioned style of setting, bruise.l, battered and corr -ded condition, its value was reduced about one half. A little over a bushel (how queer it sounds to talk of jewelry by the bu-h --c l!) has been sorted and among it lias been found one diamond ring valued at SIO,OOO, t wo more valued at $5,000, and half a do<en valued at $3,000 at.d upwards. The most curious is a plain gold ring inscribed on tlie inside in dutjh, “Peter Stuyvcsant, to wifi .” It is an lie r-loom of tbe Stuy vesants, and was stolen with other jewelry, last March by burglars. How it came in tbo sewer is a problem for philosophers to speculate about. Miss Walker and foe" brother, who find themselves thus lif. and suddenly from penu y to "great wealth, intend to proceed to England, where they have relatives. This ad venture is talked of everywhere, and already there nrc others preparing to follow in their footsteps. J@“ An Episcopal clergy man in Ntw Jersey, in a sermon, estimates the champagne diunk in this country an. ually, at 45 UUO.OOO bottles, valued at $200,000,000, while the tobacco used costs $800,000,000, but the money ex. ■fended in Christian ptopagution a. •mounts to less than one-bait tbe first named sum. He also said that our war cost $5,200,000,000, which would build 520,000 plain SIO,OOO 1 hurclies scating 520,00 i,OOO people, just one halt' the population ol' the globe.

On Saturday next the election will take place for Mayor and Aldermen ol Tliomato’ille, ami as we have beard of some i issatislaction with the nomina tions made, we propose a lew brief re marks on the subject.

We are therefore unshackled and free to speak and act impartially and for the best interests ol the eon iiiunity. The latter, we always endeavor to do. re gardless of conseqileuses, and if we fuil sometimes the error is of the head and not the heart. We desire the citizens of Thomas vilie, in their choice of a hoard of Al dermen lor the present year, to remem. her, that they have, important public enterprises to be controlh and and carried out by the incoming board, and unless a selection of competent and experi enc-d business men is made at the polls, those enterprises mti-t of neces sity, languish, if not fail altogether.--- We will do the r. tiring hoard the jus tice to acknowledge, that they have ac complished much good for the commu nity, in the various works undertaken, and although they may hav, erred, Mimciime.s, yet, no (redding < ouucil have done so much toward the iuiprovt- Uicnt of the town.

We learn fioin the Georgian, that a railroad mooting was bold at Bnin bridge on the.‘list ultimo, and address oil by jMh . boiivon, )’resident of the Atlantic & (lull Umlioad, on the pros' poets and eonoition ol the '’oniyaiiy. I The chicl object of the address, how \ over, seems to have been the setting forth to t!:e people 1 f Decatur, tlu> im. port mice of a e;;*b subscription of 8100, 000 lor the purpose of extending the railroad to Bainbridgo. The I’iesi d nt must have hud good oournga, to approach the citizens ol Docatur u*id ask for such a sum ns that, and at *ut< It a linn ; but he seems to have I none so with much grace, and confi dence, while the pci pie, taking him at his won!, have gone to work, to 1 raise ir. Wo hope they may succeed, for they dererve it. “GENERAL BEAUREGARD’S POSITION. (Jen. P. T. Beauregard, is I'resi dent ol the New Orleans and Jackson railroad. At 'Canton Miss, recently, lie presided at a least given tc. certain members of Congress on an i xeuremu to New Orleans, and delivered a speech ot welcome, lie was reported to t e New Votk llerold to have said on that occasion, that ‘-he expressed the r'uti meats of the fighting men of the South wbpn he said t hat he was in favor of a consolidated government, that the doctrine of State rights is buried out of sight ” Wo do not think Qen. Beauregard made such a declaration, but if he di I, he was s niply mistaken about repre senting the sentiments of the fighting mm of the Sou'h. It may he that Georgians are net fighting men, at;.ay rate Gen. Beauregard did not express their sentiment.-, anil we take the lib. erty of saying that they would not fol low the immortal Lee n such an ig> nominious surrender of nil tho Boutli fought for, and quarter of a million of I er most heroic sons. DISCOVERED ! It is reported by tbe Tribune that Head Centre Stephens lias, ever since bis myTrjogs disappearance, been romeolril in New York city. While the report was going about that be bod sailed for Ireland.and was at the head of the late insurrection there, Stephens was in fact, concealed in New York. The Tribune thinks he will hardly keep his engagetnen' with Great Bri tain—tor n must be remrmbetod he boasted that he would "attack Great Britain before the last year expired, with tin army that would ensure the freedom of Ireland A# wc bf licvcd from the first. Stephens hys only prov ed him-elf to he a boas’ing swindler -nd impostor, lie has pocketed hun dreds of thousands of dollars ( rnm the hard earnings of his poor deluded fol lower-. and tohen tlie time rrived for his boasted deeds, he conceals himself Perhaps lie may now receive his just deserts. “BRICK POMEROY.” The immortal “Biuck.

DISSENSION IN THE RADI CAL R4NK3. The breach mu 'c by Senator Fessen den, in the Radical ranks, is repotted to he widening, and the strong current thus set in m -tion. in favor of the South, is so rapitjly increasing in volume that if so-'tns impossible for the Radicals to fill up the breach, oven with all thcii senations of butchery, trait-irism, and negro oppression, from tbe South The signs are growing more favorable, and ere hr g we hope to see the sun shining through the long pent up heavens. fligyi'he New York Herald is now satisfied that the South cannot he res, tored by torch and turpentine, nor by bluster and hnneomh. It therefore recommends that she lie left out in th cold, as she is four or live, ten or even twenty years, or until reason and com- j man sense prevails among her people. The 1/era/d proposes that, the Govern ment si all only intetfere to prevent the whites and blacks from cutting etith other’s throats, and if the present generation prove contumacious, Go vernment can afford to wait f.-r the next, who may he more reasonai-le, on the subject of the Constitutional Amendment Tli s is tho most sensible view Ren nett Inis yet taken of the subject, and we now he in to entertain hope of his return to reason. Whenever they let the South alone, she will bo all right on the Union question, nor will she nec-l protection from without to pre vent her people lrom cutting one an others throats. CniLD’S DELIGHT.

Th" Committee appointed by the W.

M. But in taking up the pleas ant ta<k, the more they contemplated the theme, the more they flt how short they must come of doing the subject that justice conimensuiate with its merit. The ci lehralion was gotten up almost extemp raucously, and con sequently hut a short time was give to its consideration by the Committee of Arrangements—or to the Ladies to prepare their beautiful and appropri ate decorations for the Installation Hall and Banquet Ro-in- nr to the Lady and Gentlemen amateurs to prac tice their choice and seb-et music nor had the Orator s'lfliei- nt time for reading, reflection or arrangement.— Yet your Committee would do tttem selves winner, and the parties to their subject great injustice, did they not speak in the highest terms o' praise of the performance in each and cverv de partment. Your Committee do not desire to make this report without just dis ri mi nation ; hut where till duties were •discharged so well, they find nothing to criticise. The Committee of Arrangen cots desired t" affnd plea sure and enjoyment to all, and were happy, as vour Committee believes, in succeeding to a very I rge extent 'l'he Ladies who decorated the halls furnished the t»bl sand at ranged them, w re indefatigable in t'-o’r exer tions, and cannot he spoken o ir- terms of commendation too strong, both for their bountiful contributions and the ; taste and elegance with which the ! sumptuous and ample offerings were j arranged on the h- ard and around the hails. The vocal music of the choir of amateurs who favored the company was all tlmt the most fastidious ear could desire; and the Lady who occupied the chair at the organ w-m univessal ad. miration. From the Orator, everyone who et-joved a personal acnuaintarice with him, anticipated a rich intellec tual treat, and none were disappointed in their expectations. Thus we have nothing to speak of but what calls for lho highest commendation Your Committee therefore respectfully offer tho following resolutions : 1.
