OKEAT COTTON SWINDLE.
Washington, Oct 11.—The New York Times’
special says; A great cotton case, or more prop
erly a great cotton swindle has just been un
earthed at Augusta, Georgia. It involves nearly
120.000 bales of cotton of the value of about
$2,000,000. and the nanus of several prominent
military officers are mysteriously mixed up in the
allair. Large amounts of money are said to liave
been used in proposing compromise, and the
sums being variously stated at $40,000, and $100-
000 and even $250,000. The volume of facts
concerning the transaction Ls very great, but
briefly are as follows; During the rebel oecup;
tion of Georgia, three parties, named Thos. S
Metcalfe, Win. A. Heal! aad Jeremiah Bell, Ik*
came the joint owners of 9,794 bales of cotton
variously stored at Eufaula, Ala.. Albany and
Dawson, Ga. One of the parties, Metcalf*
owned 4,000 bales on his own account, which the
rebel General Hill at Augusta, Georgia, turned in
the street in a damaged condition. Metcalfe gav
a man named Schley one third of the cotton to
rebalc it and put it in shipping order. This cot
ton Metcalfe sold in July last through Schley, to
John Garsed, of Philadelphia. The defendant
in this case, Garsed ami Schley, claim that Met
calfe also sold to them 6,700 bales owned jointly
by himself and the two Bealls; this Metcalfe de
nied at first, claiming he only gave the price it
could Ik* bought at certainly, for cash, at 20 cents
per |K)uniL Here begins the interest in the case
Garsed and Schley it appears then worked upon
the military authorities, and manipulated the
mutter so as to get certain orders from Generals
Growvennr and Steedman, which frightened Met
calfe, who is an old man, into an agreement to
sell the cotton for two hundred thousand dollars,
The Bealls, however, opposed the sale and ap
pealed for an injunction. The President hearing
of this and other cases of interference on the
part of the military authorities in civil affairs
lias Issued an order which in caustic terms pro
hibits such interference hereafter.

Talleyrand was once in the company of Madame de

do not remember.
“You sav charming things to both of us,” said Madame
ile Stael tii him, "which of us do you like best i"
Tho wily statesman artfully replied that he was de
lighted with both.
"Ah, lint you prefer one of us,” continued Madame de
Stael; “suppose we were both drowning in the Seine to
night. which of us would you help first f"
"1 would extend my right hand to Madame de Stael,
and my left to Madame yonder.”
“Yes, but suppose only one of ns could be saved, which
would you attempt lo rescue 1”
Talleyrand's diplomacy was pushed to its severest test,
lint not one whit discomposed; he turned to Madame de
Stael and replied:
“Madame, you, who know so many tilings, doubtless
know how to'swim.”

“Well.” said the younger one, finally, *TH give vou jes’

Tlie larger one took the apple, opened a maw that would
have been creditable to a hundred and fifty pound cat-fish,
leaving a very small share ou the other side.
"Jim,” said the little one, looking up at the operation
with astonishment, "you take the apple and give me the

MOKE MUSTERING OUT—COL. ELY 8. PARKER.

IMPORTANT ORDER FROM GEN. GRANT—MUS

New York, Oct. 3.—A general order, dated
Oct. 9th, issued by Lieut. Gen. Grant, announces
au important distribution of troops, both regulars
and volunteers. All volunteer cavalry East of
the Mississippi river, will be at once mustered
out of service. All coast forts South of Fortress
Monroe, except Forts Taylor and Jefferson, in
Florida, will be garrisoned by colored troops, the
requisite number of regiments having been de
tached for that purpose. All other colored troops
will be mustered out of service. The 3d Regular
Artillery 4vill garrison tlie forts in Maine, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts. Tlie 1st Regular
Artillery will be stationed in New York harbor.
The 4tli Regular Artillery at Forts Delaware,
McHenryd an Washington, and the 5th Regiment
at Forts Monroe, Taylor and Jefferson. The 2d

The 2d Cavaliy is ordered to report to Gen. Sher
man, and the 8th Regular Cavalry is ordered to
Gen. Steadman’s command. The 4th Regular
Cavalry is assigned to duty on the Canada lion-

TIIE REPORT OF A GENERAL AMNESTY—POST
OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
Washington, Oet. 12.—The New York Her
ald's special says a report has, in some way gained
currency that the President intends granting a
general amnesty. It is to-day contradicted by
those who have the best means of judging its
truth or falsity.
The Tribune's Washington special says, the
Post, Office Department is making up its accounts
for the next Congress, and it appears that while
the mail service has been sustained receipts
from postage during the rebellion, the deficit,
when the mail route service in the Southern
Shites are resumed, will be eight millions.
Ne4v York Merchants and President
Johnson.—The success of Mr. Johnson’s reor
ganization policy is of more than ordinary im
portance to the merchants and business men of
this, the commercial metropolis of the nation.
It will revive the agricultural interests of the
South and open a new field of enterprise, fur
nishing great inducements both to capitalists and
emigration; thus bringing about a prosperity of
tlie Southern States beyond anything ever yet
known in that section. This 4vill come back
with a reward of a hundred and a thousand fold
to the commercial and mercantile interests of
this city. On the other liand, should the pro
gramme of the radicals be successful, and the
restoration of the Southern States delayed until
they can insert as its basis negro suffrage, _ repu
diation and financial disaster are sure Jo follow.
Anarchy will be the order of the day in the
South, accompanied by a severe contest between
the two races. This will react upon the com
mercial interests of the country, and delay the
return of that permanent prosperity which is on
ly to be found under the reign of peace. The
national debt will be largely augmented—dis
trust, disaster and ruin the sure result. In view
of these facts is it not the duty of our merchants
to lend their aid to strengthen the hands of the
administration, and counteract the influence of
the opponents of tlie President at the polls and
elsewhere.—New York Herald.
Attempted Escape of Dr. Mudd.—We have
obtained from au officer of the steamer Thomas
A. Scott, the full particulars of Dr. Mudd’s at
tempted escape, differing in many accounts from
the particulars hitherto published. The prison
ers at the Tortugas are allowed the liberty of the
island, except on the day of a vessel’s departure.
At night they are expected to sleep within the
fort. “ The night previous to the return of the
T. A. Scott, Dr. Mudd slept outside the fort, in a
shed, and the next morning he quietly walked
on board the steamer, disappeared into the low
est deck, and sent a fireman for Quartermaster
Kelly. This was the last that was seen of him.
Soon after he was missed at the fort, and an offi
cer and squad sent to search the vessel. On the
very bottom of the vessel lay a platform, resting
on two cross beams; the officer thrust his sword
under one side, and the colored soldier inserted
a ba4’onet under the other. The roar of pain
that immediately rose, told that both sword and
bavonet had reached their mark; the platform
was raised, and Dr. Mudd arose and returned to
his status of a captive prisoner. He was imme
diately brought to the fort and the thumb-screws
applied to him, and under the pressure of pain,
lie acknowledged that Kelly, with whom he had
formed an acquaintance within a few days, had
agreed to help him to escape, on the promise of
receiving Mndd’s gold watch. Kelly was there
upon marched to the fort, a drum-head Court-
martial held, and he was sentenced to six years’
imprisonment and hard labor in the Tortugas.
Tlie vessel then sailed without Mudd or Kelly,
and tlie papers were forwarded to Washington
for confirmation.—N. Y. Tribune.
The Apple-Tree In Hw I.«J»e.
It stood dose by where on leathern hinge
The gate swung back from the grassy lane;
When the cowa came home when the dusky eve
Its mantle threw over bill and plain.
Its branches, knotty and gnarled ny time.
Waved to and fro in the idle breeze,
When the spring days wove a blushing crown
Of blossoms bright for the apple-trees.
Its shadow fell o’er the crystal stream
That all the long, bright summer days.
Like a silver thread, "mid the waving grass.
Reflected back the golden rays
Of the noonday sun that madly strove
To drink the"fount of the brooklet dry.
But the light clouds showered tear-drops down
Till the glad brook laughed as it glided by.
Never were the apples half so sweet.
Golden russet striped with red.
As those that fell on the yielding turf
4Yhen we shook the branches overhead.
A trvsting-place for youthfui friends
Was the apple tree in the- days of yore,
And oft we’ve sat beneath its shade
And talked bright dreams of the future o’er.
Ad<1 when the warm October sun
Shone on the maple’s scarlet robe.
Wt- gathered apples sound and fair.
And round as our own mystic globe.
The stately hemlock crowns thenili.
The dark pines rise above the plain—
But the one we prize far more than they
Is the apple tree in the pasture lane.
Long years liave passed, and cows no more
Coine home at night through the grassy lane ;
Where the gate swung back on leathern hinpe.
I stand and gaze on"the far-off plain.
No more we list to the music low
Of the crystal stream as it ripples on.
And the apple tree in the pasture lane
Ir but a dream of the days gone by.
Origin of the Term “ Fenian.”—The term
Fenian is derived from the Gaelic word Fiann.
In tlie antiquated Gaelic it is written Finand. It
was a name given to an order or class of profes
sional soldiers among the Pagan Irish, long before
the Christian era. In ordinary times the Fiann
consisted of three legions, in each legion were
3,000 men, but in war there were usually seven
legions.

From the New York Herald
Commodore Edwin Ward Moore, of the
Republic of Texas.
Died, in this city, on Thursday morning, the
5th inst., at nine o’clock, in the fifty-fifth year of
his age, Commodore Edwin Ward Moore, of the
Texan navy during the existence of Texas as an
independent republic.
The deceased was a native of Alexandria.
Virginia, and belonged to a good family, whose
connection included many of the most distin
guished names of the State, extending back to
the famous Governor Berkeley, of the old colo
nial times. At fourteen years of age Master
Moore was transferred from the Alexandria Acad
emy to the United States Navy, with a midship
man’s commission, and, beginning with an ex
tensive cruise in tlie sloop-of-war Hornet, he was
much in active service down to the Texas war of
independence of 1836. At this time, by regular
promotion, he had become a first lieutenant, and.
as an intelligent, active and enterprising young
officer, he was singled out by the government of
Texas to the chief Command, as Commodore, of
its naval establishment, which had yet to be
created. Young Moore, resigning his commis
sion in tlie United States service, gladly accepted
his new appointment, and hastened to his new
field of labor and adventure. This was in 1837.
He was a Commodore in tlie cause of a uew re
public which was without ships and without
money. He contrived, however, partly from the
credit of the republic and partly from Ills own
resources, to purchase in New Orleans ttvo small
ships, which lie fitted up and equipped as vessels-
of-war. With these and a tender lie set sail from
New Orleans in the spring of 1843 for a trial of
strength with the Mexican fleet awaiting him in
the Gulf. This fleet consisted of eight or ten
vessels, including two steamers, the Gaudaloupe
and Montezuma, built in England at an expense
of a million of dollars. So great was the dispar
ity between these opposing forces that, to save
his ships from 4vhat he believed would be their
certain destruction if they were overhauled by
tlie enemy, President Houston repeatedly ordered
Commodore Moore to seek shelter in the bay of
Galveston; but, disregarding these orders or fail-
ing to receive them at New Orleans, Moore boldly
put to sea in search of the enemy. The Mexican
fleet was at length sighted oft' tlie coast of Yuca-
tan. A succession of hot engagements followed
in the bay of Campeachy, in which the Mexican
squadron, invariably beaten, 4vas finally routed
and dispersed, 4vith heavy losses in ships and
men. The success of tlie Texans made quite a
noise in tlie world at tlie time, and tlie skill, in
trepidity and effective handling of his ships dis
played by Commodore Moore completely si
lenced in Texas his disobedience of President
Houston’s orders and his proclamation of out
lawry.
In consideration of liis services the Congress
of Texas—notwithstanding the removal of Moore
by President Houston, and tlie veto of the bill
for his reinstatement by President Anson Jones
—passed the bill into a law, which included the
liquidation of balances of money on account of
the navy to the sum of over seventy thousand
dollars, and the grant of a tract of land to the
Commodore of thousands of acres.
After the annexation of Texas, the Commo
dore and his associate Texan naval officers ap
plied to Congress to be reinstated in tlie United
States Navy, with the rank they held from Tex-
This proposition was defeated. A compro
mise was finally passed, in the sliajie of an ap
propriation to these officers, as officers of tlie
Onion on leave pay from the day of annexation
the passage of the bill. Of this appropriation
(1855) the share accruing to Commodore Moore
was some seventeen thousand dollars.
His time subsequently was largely occupied in
experiments on new mechanical inventions.—
During the late war he was occupied in this city
upon a new machine, which he was sanguine
ould cast all other inventions of the last hun
dred years in the shade as a motive power, and
create a revolution in the saving of coal such as
the 4V0tid has never dreamed of. On the day
before his ‘death lie said, “Next tveek we expect
astonish the world.”
After his return from Texas, Commodore
Moore, in 1849, married a beautiful, accomplished
aud wealthy young widow, Mrs. Cox, nee Stock-
ton, of Philadelphia, who survives him. During
the late war slie remained 4vith her mother, one
the Parish family, of Charlottesville, Va., and
was her mother’s house there that Gen. Custar
atle his headquarters in the famous raid of
Sheridan across from tlie Shenandoah to the
lines river. Mrs. Moore, on a visit to her hus
band in this city, met him on Tuesday last, passed
pleasant evening with him and other friends ;
and when she parted with him as he left for his
business on Wednesday morning he was radiant
with the success of his great enterprise and his
future plans. He was brought back in the after
noon in a dying condition from a stroke of apo
plexy, and remained speechless to the last. His
remains were taken to Philadelphia for interment
under charge of the surviving wife aud friends
on Friday morning.
Commodore Moore would have died a wealthy
man and might have lived to a good old age had
he been more careful of bis o4vn interests, more
deaf to the claims and calls of others, and less
devoted to new inventions. His strength was
exhausted in his incessant labors upon that en
gine which may “yet astonish the world.” His
death will be mourned by many friends from the
Hudson to the Rio Grantle. fie was a stranger
fear, aud modest and unpretending, as all
brave men tire. He was a steadfast triend, a
generous adversary, an affectionate husband,
and a good man. Ilis last hour was that ot
him—

Young John entered his lather's office as a clerk,
at sixty pounds a year, of. which he paid his
mother forty for board, lodging and washing, and
clothed himself with the odd twenty. Do not
imagine that Mr. Oakheart’s establishment re
quired that assistance. The old gentleman de
sired to make his son feel that he supported him
self At twenty-five years of age young Oak-
heart married, receiving with his wife a moder
ate sum of money. He wants to purchase a share
in his father’s business; they cannot come to
terms. Young John can make a better bargain
with a rival house in the trade. The old man
hesitates; he likes the sound of Jolm Oakheart
& Son, but business is business. Had he manned
a penniless girl the father would have given him
what he now refuses to sell; but now business is
business, and, as a calculation, lie can’t do it.
S-> young John becomes chief partner iu a rival
firm to that which one day must lie his, and
trades against the old man, whose only sin is to
lay up wealth for his son.
’Every day at 4 o’clock, leaning against a par
ticular corner on ’Change, stands the elder mer
chant, his hands deeply sunk into liis dog-eared
pockets. A young city man approaches; they
exchange a quiet careless noil.
“Feel inclined to discount for £1,200 at long
date ?”
“ What security,” asks old John.
“Turkish ’54.”
“Any names ?”
“My own only; it is a private matter, and has
nothing to do with our house,” replied the Goun-
ger. “I will give 4 per cent.”
“I should want more than that, as money goes
—say 4 j.”
“The brokers only ask 44,” replies the young
man.
“Then give it.” And thej r separate with an
indifferent nod. This was father and son.
Every Sunday young John and his wife dine at
Russell Square, in the same house where old
Oakheart has lived for thirty years. His name
has been cleaned out of the brass plate on the
door. This house young John still looks upon,
and speaks of, as his home. All the associations
of childhood are there—every piece of furniture
is an old friend—every object is sacred in his
eyes, from his own picture, taken at tour years
old, with its chubby face ancttfiit legs, to the
smoke-dried picture of Gen. Abereombie. They
form the architecture of that temple of his heart
—his home.
After dinner the ladies havS retired. The
crimson curtains are comfortably closed. The
crackling tire glows with satisfaction, and old
John pushes the bottle across to his son, for if
old John had a weakness it is for tawny port.
“Jack, my boy,” savs he, “what do you want
with £1200?”*
“ Well, sir,” replied Jolm, “tkere is a piece of
ground next to my villa at Brixton, and they
threaten to build upon it—if so. they will spoil
our view. Emily,” meaning his wife, “has often
begged me to buy it, and inclose it in our garden.
Next Wednesday is her birthday, and I wish to
gratify her with a surprise; but If ha4 r e reconsid
ered the matter—I ought not to afford it—so I
liave given it up.”
“Quite right, Jack,” responded the old man ;
“it would have been a piece ot’ extravagance,”
and tlie subject drops.
Next Wednesday being Emily’s birthday, the
old couple dine with the young folks. Just be
fore dinner old Jolm takes liis daughter-in-law
aside, and places in her hand a parchment—it is
the deed of tlie little plot of ground she coveted.
He stops her thanks with a kiss, aud hurries
away.
Ere the ladies retire, Emily finds time to whis
per the secret to her husband, and the father and
son are alone. Watch tlie old man’s eyes fixed
ou thoffire, for be has detected his piece of affec
tionate treachery, and is almost. ashamed of his
act, because he does not know how to receive
his thanks. For a few moments a deep, gentle
feeling broods upon the young man’s heart; he
has no words—it is a prayer syllabled in emotion
that makes liis lip tremble; le lays his hand
upon his father’s arm, and their eyes meet.
“Tut, Jack, sir! pooh! sir, it must all come to
you some day—God bless you, liy boy, and make
you as happy at my age as I am now.” In si
lence tlie souls of these men embrace. But 4vlio
is that seraph that gathers them beneatli her out
spread angel wings? I lni4 T e seen her at tlie
fireside fluttering like a dove from bosom to bo
som. I have seen her link distant hearts, parted
by the whole world—she is the genius of the
Anglo-Saxon family—and her name is Home.

Since our last weekly statement, transactions in this
article have been heavy and the demand good. There has
been, and is still, more animation and more eager inquiry
than we have yet had to note. We hear of transactions at
40 cents for good middling ; and if aquality rankingabove
that grade was throwu upon the market, it would bring
even a higher figure. We quote from 32 to 42 ^ents, and
a brisk demand. Small lots from the country continue to
arrive. “Crop lots” per sample find ready purchasers.
Blind Tom, the negro l>oy pianist, gave his
first concert at Dodworth Hall list evening. The
house was well filled by a very fashionable and
critical audience, who listenedthe perform
ance and imitations of this wonderful musical
phenomenon with tlie greatest astonishment, en
thusiasm and satisfaction. As a wonder Tom
merits all that has been said of lint. His power
of memofy is remarkable; also in execution,
touch and interpretation of sonie pieces he ex
hibits skill and the intelligence (if a master, not-
ithstanding at times his look and motions are
like one bereft of all reason. Tom played last
evening Ll Sonete Pathetique," by Beethoven, first
movement; Thalberg’s “Home, Sweet Home
Gotschalk’s “Last Hope;” Luemia Borgia fan-
tasie, aud selections from Norrni, 11 Tromtorc,
and several of his own compositions. After the
execution of each piece Tom applauds himself
with all the enthusiasm of any member of the
audience, and appears just as will pleased and
delighted. He is certainly a woider in his way,
and his entertainments will not fail to interest
and satisfy any one who may vish to see and
hear a wonderful musical prodigy.—New York

The following touching incident, illustrating
the generosity and devotion of our Southern wo
men, happened not long after the fall of Rich-
nioml, while Mr. Davis was stopping for refresh
ment at Major Sutherland's house in Danville:—
Nashville B<inner.
This most estimable family, previous to the ar
rival of their distinguished guest, had not heard
of his really reduced pecuniary condition; but
it soon came to the ears of the Major’s wife, who,
with true womanly kindness, set about to sur
prise their guest. Their stock of gold, laid aside
tor a “ rainy day,” was by no means exhausted,
and tlie old lady from this stock counted out
$1,000, wliieh she sewed up carefully in a small
bag. Nothing was said about it until the eve of
the guest’s departure, or rather just as he was
about stepping into his carriage, when the Major
remarked, “ Mr. President, here is a small token
which my wife has begged I should hand to you,
in the hope that you may find it useful on your
joumev.” “ What is it, Major ? ” asked Davis.
The Major replied, “ It is a mere trifle of gold—
take it, and ask no further questions.” “ I can
not,” replied Mr. Davis, and, bursting into tears,
he leaped into his carriage, with a “ God bless
you and yours, Major! ” and ordered the driver
to move on.

A Good Story—Governor Bibb’s Bait.—
The following Amusing story is told of Governor
George M. Bibb, Secretary of the Treasury un
der John Tyler, and an inveterate fisherman:
One day, early in the morning, he planted him
self on a wharf for a quiet day of sporting. At
noon a friend passed by and asked lnm about his
luck.
“I ain't had a bite,” replied the Governor, “the
fish are scarce.”
At sundown another friend passed by* and see
ing a L&ndsome yellow frog crouching by the
side of the Governor, and evidently enjoying the
scenery, suddenly exclaimed,
“What’s that ?”
“That,” said the Governor, with a look of hor
ror, “is my bait, and the d—-d thing has been
squatting there, I suppose, over since 9 o’clock
in the morning.”
An Irish dragoon, on hearing that his widowed
mother had married since he quitted Ireland,
exclaimed, “Murther! I hope she wont have a
son oulder than me; if she does, I shall lose the
estate.”

Tuesday, Oct. 17, 1865. j
Since our report of last week there has been hut a
slight change in prices. Tho market continues greatly
animated, and the past week has' witnessed as heavy a
trade as was ever known in this city. Activity prevails
in every branch of business, both wholesale and retail.
One prominent firm states that it is with some difficulty
they can fill the orders that come to them. Onr merchants
still suffer inconvenience in the matter of transportation,
alleging in some instances that freight has lain at Chatta
nooga and beyond as long as a week, causing great con
fusion and even heavy losses in their business. It will be
seen from the following quotations that there is a slight
upward tendency in many articles, the most prominent of
which is Bacon. We have endeavored to get the figures
as strictly correct as possible. We still note a wide dif
ference in the figures of the various houses, which ren
ders it not an easy matter to get a thoroughly correct
commercial statement. We invite from our merchants
brief communications of a commercial character, in
which they will discuss matters of interest to the trade.
