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. next.

Washington, Oct 12.—A special to the New York Express says: Gen.

And he has also ad vised tlie mustering out of nearly all of the ne gro troops. Col. Parker, of Gen. Grant’s staff, lias returned.

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 Regular Artillery is assigned to the Pacific coast. 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- tier. 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. Fruitful theme of speculation—pears at a dime specie. 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— '' John Oakkeart and Son. BY DIOX BOURCICACLT. John Oakheart and son are Baltic merchants. 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.

Daily Intelligences Office, I Tuesday, Oct. 17, 1865. j 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 Herald.

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. i on SALE.

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.” The churches in Chicago built upon quick sand foundations are sinking. ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE.

Daily Intklligencer Office, I 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. factory Good*.—Cotton Thread, $2 70 to $3; Osna- hnrgs, 20 to 22 cents; 4-4 Sheeting, 28 to 30 cents per yard.
