Connecticut and Viroinia.—Old Harvard
made a proud record during the war. Nearly a
thousand who had been connected with that
University were enrolled under the old flag !
Has any other of our citizens been so well rep
resented ?— Cin. Times.
Yes, Mr. Times, and better, too. If you in
clude cx-rcbcis among 11 your class of citizens,”
we can inform you that out of five hundred ca
dets who graduated at the Virginia Military In
stitute, before its destruction by Hunter’s
forces, four hundred and seventy-five of them
were killed and wounded in the army under
General Leo. Can old Harvard, old Princeton,
or old Yale either, beat that ?
[Knoxville Commercial.
Now, I have seen catalogues of “ Old Har
vard ” and “ Old Yale ” since the war, and was
very much gratified to see what so well agreed
with my estimate of Yankee character ; namely,
that most of the graduates who had served in
the war were “A. Q. M’s.,” “ A. C. S’s.,” and
Paymasters “U. 8. N.” Not one do I remem
ber to have seen who mark for himself a repu
tation on the field ; a great many of them were
officers to colored troops, agents, desks, <fte.,
&c. It would he interesting to compare the
war-standing of the Northern graduates with
those of the South ; the result, I am quite sure,
would be immensely in favor of our own.

Making a Good Thing op it. —Mr. E. G.
Ross, the editor of a Kansas paper, who was
appointed to 611 the vacancy in the United
States Senate caused by the death of Senator
Lane, had a good thing. He hurried ofr to
Washington, got there on the 25th of July, and
was immediately sworn in. On the 28th Con
gress adjourned, and he can start back again
with a snug sum of pay and mileage, amount
ing to nearly #O,OOO. He will probably be su
perseded by a regular election when the legis
lature meets, but he has got his pay for three
days service at the rate of about #2,000 a day.
Mayor Monroe Charged with Murder.—
A dispatch to the New York News from New
Orleans, says R. King Cutler and Judge Hei
stand, who are now belore the military com
missiou investigating the negro riot, have made
affidavits charging Mayor Monroe with the
murder of prominent members of the conven
tion. A number of the conventionists refuse
to sign the document. As Cutler spent the
period of the riot up the chimney of the Insti
tute, his affidavit as to anything that was done
will carry little weight.
General Herron.—General Herron, Attor
ney-General of the State of Louisiana, whose
name is signed to the official statement of the
facts of the New Orleans riot, published in the
Times of yesterday, was a Major-General in tlie
Federal army during the late war, and served
principally in Arkansas and Missouri. Never
theless, Greeley and Forney will denounce him
as a “ copperhead ” for singning this letter.
Drought in Upper Georgia. —The Rome
Courier of Tuesday says the drought continues
with uo immediate prospect of abatement. In
many places the early corn is ruined. Through
this and the adjoining counties, it now seems
impossible that there will be a half crop raised.
The cotton crop is also obliged to be short, and
apprehensions arc now being felt that it will be
almost entirely cut off. Heaven have mercy
upon us!
Number of Pianos in the Union.—That
portion of the musical fraternity in the United
States which uses the piano will no doubt be
astonished to learn that there are in this coun
try but two thousand seven hundred and Bev
enty-six of these instruments. That is, the tax
payers of the country only returned that many
for tax to the internal revenue collector in 1865.
New Air Line Railroad in the South.—
The capital stoek has been subscribed for an air
line railroad from Atlanta, Georgia, to Char
lotte, North Carolina, via Andeson and York
town, South Carolina. It is entirely a New
York enterprise, and will shorten the distance
between that city and New Orleans nearly
twenty-four hours.

WHEN THE SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES BEGAN
—ITS EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL.
The suspension of hostilities between Austria
aud Italy commenced on the 25th, when the
heads of the Italian columns halted where they
stood. Other troops might make movements
but not go beyond the points occupied by the
heads of the columns.
The truce of five days between Prussia and
Austria ceased at noon on the 27th ult., but was
then prolonged to the 2d of August, and a four
weeks’ armistice commencing lrom that date
had been concluded.
THE PRELIMINARIES SUBMITTED TO THE EM
PEROR OF AUSTRIA.
Count Karoiyc had arrived at Vienna with
the preliminaries of peace agreed upon by him
and Count Bismarck for ratification by the Em
peror of Austria.
ANOTHER WARNING FROM RUSSIA.
{From the Moacow Gazette, July 19.
Russia is threatened. Germany strong and
united is approaching nearer to our frontier,
and threatens to become masters of the only
sea which secures our communication with the
world. The ties which unite the people and
States of the Austrian Empire will clearly soon
be broken, and in her place will he established
a political State whose power may be directed
against the most vital and dearest interests of
Russia. Two great provinces of the Turkish
Empire, which were but lately- under the pro
tectorate of Russia, and depended on us more
than on the Sovereign of Turkey, have been
transformed by quite an arbitrary manoeuvre,
contrary to treaties and the decision of a Euro
pean Conference, into an almost independent
state, under the dynasty of llohenzollern. In
short the political situation varies every day,
and always to the detriment of the position of
Russia in the world. Let us, therefore, endeav
or to be prepared when the time comes, and
get rid of all internal difficulties, so as to be
aide to act when the decisive moment is at
hand.
{Berlin, July 24, Correspondence of tlie London Times.
PEACE NOT CERTAIN—TIIE DIFFICULTIES IN THE
WAV.
Though the prospects of a prolongation of
the armistice has increased since yesterday, it
would be a mistake to infer from this that peace
was certain. All that Austria lias yet conceded
is to withdraw from the Bund. This is the
most signal advantage gained by Prussia since
the days of Frederick the Great, when the fealty
she, in common with the other members of the
Empire, owed to the Kaiser was first set aside;
still it leaves so many questions of the gravest
import in suspense that much room for delib
eration and dispute remains. Not to speak of
the assumption of the military command in all
northern Germany, and the annexation of
Schleswig Holstein, as well as some other ter
ritories, situate between the two halves of the
Prussian dominion, which have to be definitely
accorded to this Government, it is, from all I
learn, a matter of doubt whether the future
constitution of the south, as contemplated by
Count Bismarck, will meet with the approval
of his humbled, yet proud and untamed foe.—
Alter the doubtful attitude of Bavaria during
the last few weeks, Count Bismarck does not
seem to be particularly inclined to grant her
the advantage of military supremacy over Ba
den, Wurtcmbcrgand a portion of Hesse, vest
ed in her in bis original programme. He would,
1 believe, prefer to constitute the south into a
number of independent States, mailing it, how
ever, a condition that no military or commer
cial alliance be entered into between them and
Austria. Should the South, as it is easy to fore
see it would, find it impossible to exist and
flourish without the support of a large and more
influential commonwealth, Count Bismarck has
no objection to receive it back into his own
Confederacy upon the same terms as the States
already embodied with it. This will certainly
form a subject of contention between him on
the one side and Austria and France on the
other. The two latter Powers, whatever they
may be compelled toconce'de with regard to the
minor States of (lie North, plainly indicate an
intention to weaken the control of this Gov
ernment over the South, and reserve to them
selves the privilege of ascendancy at Munich,
Stuttgart and Carlsrulte. Perhaps the solution
of this question will be fiicilitatce by the south
erners themselves disci aiming separation from
the rest of their countrymen.
Another difficulty is likely to offered by
the eoslof war.' ’ 13‘Austria prepared to defray
the Prussian expenditure in addition to'her
own? If so, will she allow some of her Pro
vinces to remain occupied until the whole has
Jhnsu paid off.?, Ur, ilVnoLwiU
ry to make np the i f i , “nWj r 'casn ? And Is AtfsfvTr 1
aware that If the deliberations upon these ana
similar topics should drag on for any length of
time public opinion in this country, which con
eiive the requirements of the Government far
too moderate, with aggravated pending differ
ences by asking for the annexation, pur el sim
ple, of Hanover. Cassei, and perhaps Saxony
also ? Is she aware that, unless his programme
is at once accepted, Count Bismark himself will
probably insist upon the extradition of (lie
minor States territory beyond what he lias al
ready demanded ? Aggrandizement in West
ern Germany, at the expense of Nassau and
Darmstadt, is said to enter into bis plans, hav
ing been represented lo him as most desirable
from a military point of view.
It is not believed that, even were the armis
tice lengthened to lour or six weeks, it would
materially assist the Imperial Government in
creating a new army. Three ot its most popu
lous provinces are in (lie hands of t lie enemy.
Venice hat; been ceded. Hungary is ripe for
insurrection, and, if subjected to new and ex
hausting draughts, might prove a foe rather
than a friend. Are Galicia, Croatia, and the
Slavonic dependencies alone sufficient to fill up
the thinned ranks ? Arc their inhabitants faith
ful enough to bold out. amid the dangers of an
impending catastrophe? Already 250 heavy
guns are on their way to Olmutz and Fiorids
dorff; already Gen. Herwarth, -whose ingenuity
rendered the crossing of Alsen Sound practica
ble, has pushed his advanced posts to the very
banks oi the Danube ; already (he embodiment
of the second ban of the Landwchr, which adds
120,000 men to (be Prussian armies, is nearly
completed. Add to this the panic prevailing
among the inhabitants of Vienna, whose houses
at a later stage of the bombardment would be
within range of the Prussian artillery, and it is
not probable that a respite granted would alter
the result of the war, however much it might
retard its end. Moreover, can a large and
crowded town sustain all !hc horrors of a siege
unless inspired by patriotism to dare and suffer
the worst ? As the Vienna papers tell us, peo
ple are daily executed in that metropolis for
acting as spies ; but (hose duly arraigned and
shot form but a moiety in comparison with the
hundreds suspected. If such bo the moral con
dition of the town at the mere idea of an at
tack, what will it become with llie shells whiz
zing round their ears ?
In Western Germany things are steadily tak
iug tlicir assigued course. The Prussians, not
eonteiit with moving one column in the direc
tion of Heidelberg, have sent another due east
of Frankfort, and, it seems, reoccnpied Hanau
and Aschaflenburg. The united Federal and
Bavarian armies are said to have retreated to
Gcmuuden, about ten miles east of Aschaffcn
burg; but nothing certain can be determined
upon the matter. To my mind, it is improbable
that the Wurtcmburg Division, whose own
country is now more immediately threatened
by the western wing of the Prussians, will be
allowed to remain with the Federals drawing off
to the east.
The opening of the Prussian Parliament lias
been fixed by Royal proclamation for Monday
next. The King and Count Bismarck will be
present at the ceremony, unless detained at ( lie
seat of war by more important business. The
victorious Count is in good hopes of being able
to make his peace with the deputies in the en
suing session. and, with so desirable au end in
view, endeavors to insert a passage in the speecli
from the Throne in which the right of the purse,
as claimed by Parliament, is unconditionally re
cognized by the Crown. His laudable efforts in
this direction are, however, opposed by ilie ul
tra Conservatives at Court, w'hicli makes it
problematical whether he will succeed. It would
be a pity should he fail. In the present dispo
sition of the public mind there is not the slight
est doubt that were the Government to reinstate
the Constitution all past infractions would be
forgotten, and a vote of indemnity granted by
the Lower House.
The King ot Hanover lias been informed by
this Government that the income lie derives
from the Crown lands will be withheld until
the public moneys conveyed to England be re
funded. M. Wehner, the Hanoverian Consul-
General in London, lias been removed, having
in a published letter stated that the wounded
soldiers of his country were insufficiently at
tended to by the Prussian authorities.
The Germans in England are beginning to
contribute largely for the relief of tbeir wound
ed countrymen. From Liverpool alone i'7oo
has been received, €450 of which went to Ber
lin and £250 to Vienna.
The public movement in favor of Prussian
supremacy is getting stronger and stronger.—
In Dresden a number of leading politicians, so
long the avowed friends of Austria, have com
bined with the adherents of this Government,
and issued a common declaration, in which the
reunion of all Germany under Prussiau aus
pices is declared to be a necessity of the times.
Letters and articles advocating the 6atnc idea
abound in the Wurtcmburg and Baden press.
People, it appears, were never so deeply im
pressed with the evils inseparable from a divis
ion ol Germany into a number of petty States
as now.
MOVEMENTS ABOUT VIENNA —THE POSITION OF
AUSTRIA STRONGER.
[Vienna (July 21) Correspondenoe of the London
Times.]
The movements of troops about Vienna are
incessant and continuous, but it would not be
proper to indicate the directions in which they
are made, even if it were interesting to people
at home to be made acquainted with isolated
facts, the value of which can only. be tested by
subsequent events. A letter may fall into the
bands of tbe enemy like the celebrated epi6tle
ot the Prussian Chief of the Staff, of which all
the world has heard by this time, and by which
the friends of the Austrians are much com
forted, seeing that there is fair room for criti
cism in the enemy’s arrangements as well as
their own. The information contained in
unofficial documents might be of thirhighest
importance to an enemy, even in the details
whicli appeared most insignificant at the time
of writing, aud it is best to take a retrospective
attitude. That the Prussians set great store ou
information is manifest by their efforts to ob
tain it.. Not a day passes without the discovery
of spies in all sorts of disguises, and the zeal
of the soldiery and police, and of all good sub
jects, is whetted by the reward of 200fl. to the
lucky detective.
Tile position of Austria may have deteriorat
ed or remained stationary in a political sense
for the last few days, but, assuredly, as regards
the defence of her capital, there can be no ques
tion of her advance. She has made herself in
finitely stronger. In men and in measures
Austria has become truly formidable on the
Danube. The Prussians feel the force of the
situation. The}’ cannot ignore the facts con
cerning their own position, which become pat
ent every day. They feel them iu their failing
supplies, in their diminished trains, in the ani
mosity of the peasantry, in the renewed activity
of the Austrian horse, which never leaves them
night or day, hanging on their flanks and worry
ing the beads of their columns. So tlicir ad
vance is slow aud apparently indecisive. They
may be gathering their strength for a great ef
fort—making assurance doubly sure; but no
one will have failed to perceive that tlieirmove
inents have lately lacked the vigor and precision
which characterized their movements previous
to Koniggratz.
THE AUSTRIANS PREPARING TO ABANDON
VENICE.
Letters received from Vienna state that the
Austrians were removing the archives and the
books from the libraries. The inhabitants
looked with great uneasiness upon the prepara
tions being made by the Italian troops for the
blockade and siege of the city. All communi
cation with Venice was cut on off ou the 9th by
Gen. Mczzaeapo.
Emma, Queen of the Sandwich Islands.
Her Arrival and Reception in We to York —
Anxiety to see her Majesty —Her Trunks and
Toilet —Her Description and History—The
Sandwich Islands.
&Hor Majesty, tbe Dowager Queen Emma, of
the Sandwich Islands, relict of the late King
Kamehameha IV., arrived in New York on
Wednesday from England. She is the first
royal lady who has ever visited this country.
She met with a formal reception at the hands
of the authorities, and the hospitalities of the
United States Government extended to her
through Mr. Seward. She was conducted to
the Brevoort House.
The New York World has the following con
cerning her arrival and her appearance :
TIIE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Two thousand miles to the westward of the
Golden Gale or harbor ol San Francisco, in the
waters of the North Pacific, there is a group
of thirteen islands whose valleys teem with
tropical productions of every description—
yags, taro or breadfruit, coffee, sugar, cotton
and tobacco. The islands, though very fertile
and pleasant, are volcanic in many places, and
to Europeans aud the great mass of Americans
the term Sandwich or Hawaian Islands, is a
mere geographical expression, having no par
ticular significance of interest.
Tl.c people inhabiting these islands, to the
number of 80,000, belonging to the Malay race,
and a century ago were a barbarous collection
of savages, Capt. Cook, the world-known navi
gator and discoverer, haring lxieu treacherously
murdered iu 1778 in the harbor of Honolulu,
where now may ba found riding at anchorage
the vessels ol every civilized nation on the face
of the earth. Since that period civilization and
Christianity have done tlicir work, and the pre
sent natives of the Sandwich I; lands are known
as a peaceful, moderately educated people, at
peace with themselves and other nations.
, ANXIETY TO SEE HER MAJESTY.
A large crowd had collected at the w'harf to
witness the,debarkation of»tlio Queen, and many
eccentric remarks were marie in aquict manner
by the crowd, such as, “Why, she is not .so
black, after all. n -
“Oil, I guess she’s a mfil;itlu.r’ , a&(jJ.'trotJi..ai
agood deal of earthy substance;.
‘-ifew ure you Freedmen’a Bureau.”
Auother gentleman, in a fed shirt ami loose
linen duster, in an interrogatorjr-**fMi-H-, T'anted
to know “ Where tiifTPloody army of the Queen
was ?” and ventured to bet fifty cents that the
flunky with thq. skin-tight pants-came to New
York to get half-soled and heeled.”
THE TRUNKS OF nER MAJESTY.
The amount of baggage belon ing to her Ma
jesty would be sufficient to drive a Saratoga or
Newport belle distracted with envy, at least a
dozen gigantic structures W’cre deposited at the
hotel. It was supposed that her Majesty has
been accumulating a largo stock of the fash
ionable fabrics and costumes of Continental
Europe, wherewith to astonish the natives of
the Ilawaien Islands, on her return home.
DESCRIPTION OF IIER MAJESTY.
Queen Emma is about 30 years of age, of
medium height, black eyes, dark straight hair,
pleasant undcr-chin, with dimple, with well-de
fined nostrils, and of rather handsome figure,
with the qniet. and unobstructed look of a lady
in her face. The face is quite dark, and is near
ly akin in shade to that of a Southern mulatto,
and the under lip hangs down slightly. The
entire face is Malay in its cast, and the features
are not European in tone.
TOTLET OF TIIE QUEEN.
Her Majesty wore for the drive in the park a
black and steel-mixed grenadine dress of small
pattern, with a Japanese cloak of the same ma
terial, trimmed handsomely, and a black velvet
jockey hat, w’ith black and white feathers.—
Also dark kid gloves, and a single jewel of un
usual brilliancy fastened in the collar of Un
dress, at the throat. Her visiting cards have a
mourning border, in memory of her iate Ma
jesty, husband of Queen Emma, King Kamelie
jneba TV., now dead. Miss Spurgin, her lady
in waiting, is a fresh looking English girl of
about twenty-five summers ; and Major Hop
kins is a quiet looking gentleman of middle age
and middle height, with a pronounced English
accent.
HISTORY OF QUEEN EMMA.
Emma is not a Queen Regnant ; she is the
widow of the late King Kamehemeha IV., who
was succeeded by his brother, the present King,
Kamehameha V. Queen Emma had one child,
a little boy, who died a short time before bis
father. Emma is therefore Queen Dowager, and
not having any affairs of state to engross her
attention —she being a sincere Christian, as
above stated —has given her whole attention lo
Ihe propagation ol the gospel among her peo
ple. She is a member of the Episcopal Church,
coincides with and is an ardent supporter of
the views entertained by the High-Church party
of England, and her mission to that country
was to procure aid from that portion of the
English Church. Site made many friends there
who exerted themselves to the utmost iu her
behalf, and in consequence she reeeived sub
scriptions to the amount of over $50,000. Con
siderable opposition w’as manifested by some of
the Low-Church party to the object she bad in
view.
FUTURE MOVEMENTS.
General Marshall waited on the Queen, tor
Governor Bullock, of Massachusetts, to tender
the hospitalities ol the Commonwealth to the
Queen, and to ask her to visit Boston. It is be
lieved that the Queen and suite will remain in
New York a few days to receive the celebrities,
and then, proceeding to Niagara Falls direct,
stopping ou return at Boston, aud from thence
to New York to take the steamer, to-day or to
morrow, for Panama, era route for home. An
excursion is on the programme, to show the
Qneon the islands and benevolent institutions in
tbe East river.
The Termini of the Atlantic Cable.—
Heart’s Content, where the Atlantic Cable is
working on this side of the world, is a small
bay or cove, projecting from the east side of
Trinity Bay, on the Island of Newfoundland,
latitude 40 degrees 50 minutes, longitude 52 de
grees 20 minutes. The settlement, notwith
standing its romantic name, is only a small col
lection of fishing huts, ns are two'adjacent set
tlements, known as Heart’s Ease and Heart's
Delight. The settlers who named these places
must have been not only of a romantic turn of
mind, but contented and unambitious persons.
The Island of Vslentia, the Irish terminus of
the Atlantic Cable, is about six thousand acres
iu extent. It lias three proprietors, of whom
the Knight of Kerry is the chief, the others
being Trinity College, Dublin, and Colonel
Herbert of Muckross. The population is about
two thousand, but although the Knight is a
staunch Protestant, his co-religionists do not
number more than one hundred aud fifty. The
harmony of this little community (says a cor
respondent of the London Star) is, however,
undisturbed by religious discord. The old
priest, who is now between eighty and ninety
years of age, has lmd charge of the parish ior
half a century, and his watchword has always
been “ Peace.” The average value of land is
about 15 shillings an acre. Much more of it is
used for gracing purposes than for cultivation,
the principle article manufactured being butter.
Most of the cottages are simply small hovels ;
but there is a considerable number of a better
class, and the peasantry have a well-fed, com
fortable appearance. They owe much to the
Knight, w’ho spends nearly the whole of the in
come he derives lrom the property in improve
ments and in giving employment to the people.

AUGUSTA, (Ga.) WFDNESDAY BURNING, AUGUST 15, 1866.
The New Orleans Eiot.
Official Account —Communication to President
Johnson from Lieutenant Governor Voorhees ,
General Herron and Mayor Monroe.
The following is the official account from
Lieutenant Governor Voorliees, Major General
Herron and Mayor Monroe, of New Orleans, to
the President, which places the blame of the
riots in that city on the parties to whom it
rightly belongs. The letter says, among other
things, that the press of New Orleans, except
ing those of Radical proclivities, exhorted the
people, previous to the riots, to maintain good
order and refrain from any interference with
the convention whatever. General Herrou,
who signs this, will be remembered as a Major
General in the Federal army during the late
war, figuring principally in Arkansas and Mis
souri :
New Orleans, August 7.—The following
correspondence is published :
His Excellency President Andrew Johnson :
Sir : Your Excellency Is already in posses
sion of the main facts in regard to the conspi
racy which, by reviving the convention of 18t>4,
purposed to subvert the civil government of
Louisiana. An informal meeting of twenty
nine members, one hundred and fifty being the
whole number, and twenty-six a quorum, pro
ceeded to depose that the president of the con
vention, who considered the convention itself
extinct and himself without .functions*)! office,
and to elect R. K. Howell a#president pro teni.
They adjourned to meet again, and a proclama
tion was issued by the president pro tern, con
vening tiie convention to meet again on the
30th of July last, and directing his Excellency,
the Governor of the State, to issue writs of
election to fill the vacancies. So far the whole
matter was looked upon as a harmless experi
ment, though mischief was intended, the people
being confident that the Governor would not
condescend to notice this proclamation, and
that, in case tiie convention should commit any
aet of interference, he would have it dispersed.
Unfortunately, however, after a lapse of nearly
a month, the Governor issued writs of election
to fill up fifty-one vacancies in that body.
On Friday, the 17th of July, a large meeting
was held in the hall of the liouse of Represen
tatives, professedly for the advocacy of univer
sal suffrage, but in reality to reorganize for the
meeting of the convention on the Monday fol
lowing. The object of the meeting was to ex
cite the passions and prejudices of the colored
population, so as to make them the victims of
a riot, by urging them headlong into a conflict
with the State and municipal authorities.
On the other hand we were determined to
prevent riot and bloodshed by pursuing such a
course as would baffle the nefarious calculations
of those agitators from New Orleans.
Our remedy, and the only remedy, must be
by recourse to the usual process of law, aud
even then to jn'oeced in such manner as to
fasten upon them the. responsibilities of all col
lison whatever. The case was submitted to the
grand jury by the Attorney General, and in the
meatime the Lieutenant Governor aud the
Mayor called upon General Baird to ascertain
whether, if a warrant, issued upon a regular
indictment, were placed in the hands of the
sheriff for the arrest of the members of the
convention, the military would interfere. The
answer was that the sheriff himself would be
arrested, and that the convention, mcetiug
peaceably, could not beLjterfcred with by the
officers of the law. W
It is proper here to state that the mayor had
previously addressed a note to General Baird,
inquiring whether he would be interfered with
by the military in ease he would proceed to dis
perse the convention us an unlawful assem
blage. The answer to this communication was
that the. meeting of the convent ion, being peace
able, could not be suppressed by the mayor,
and that the military authorities wquld prevent
the interference of the civil authorities. It'was
suggested by the Lieutenant Governor that the
city authorities, under those circumstances, did
not intend to interfere to prevent the -meeting,
of the convention. But he proposedMßt in
case a warrant of arrest were plqceff in the
hands of the sheriff, the latter, Before attefffpt-’-
ing to execute it, would call on Uie gouertil,;
who thereupon would endorse his objectionv’
and the matter would at once be submitted to
the President. The arrangement was satis fac-'
tory.to both parties. Qn the??me d«y, (.hoAt
torney General and the Lieutenant- OtMirnor
members of the, convention could -
by tbu military. Tljj ■*"•** expected *<»
sustain the court, ..•
On the morning of .the 30th the Lieutenant*
Governor called upon General Baird to commu-1
nlcate to him the President’s dispatch, and alst*
inquired of the general if he would not have'
some troops in the vicinity of the hall to pre
serve peace and good order. General Baird
answered that application had been made by
the members of the convention.
The suggestion was then made that to have
too large a police force on the spot might be
construed as meant to overawe the members,
and inasmuch as the civil authorities did not
intend interferriug with the Convention until
instructions were received * from the President,
as above agreed upon, it was proper to have
troops to co-operate with a small police force
to preserve peace, and to prevent all possible
attempt to bring about a collision. This sug
gestion met the approval of the General, who
then stated that he would immediately give or
ders to have the troops in readiness. Before
the end of the in ter vice/ it was again agreed
upon between General Baird and the Lieuten
ant Governor that whatever warrant of arrest
might be placed in the hands of the sheriff
would be submitted to him before any attempt
to have it exeented should be made, and that
upon the endorsement of the General’s objec
tions the matter would be referred to the Pres
ident. The Mayor being informed of this ar
rangement, sent but a small police force to the
vicinity of the hall, and the troops that were to
act in conjunction with the police were eagerly
expected.
At noon, information having reached the
Lieutenant Governor that in the third district
there was a commencement of effervcsence,
and (hat a large number of negroes were com
ing towards Canal street from above and below,
lie immediately sent a dispatch to the general
conveying this intelligence, and urging that fEa
troops be sent without delay.
About ono hour afterwards the riot broke
out, ending in the dispersion of the convention
aud the capture of the rioters, including seve
ral members of this body, ft is not our pur
pose to argue the question of facts as to the ac
tual commencement of the collision, and fix
precisely the mode and manner, and where it
started. We will, however, remark that the
collision was brought about by the armed mob
sustaining the convention. Suffice it to gay
that the civil authorities took all the precau
tions possible to prevent the outbreak; that
they applied during three days previous to have
the military to preserve order at the place
where the convention was to meet; that the
authorities, State and municipal, came to an
understanding to act in concert with the mili
tary for that purpose ; that the citizens no more
than the police contemplated preventing the
convention from holding their meeting in
peace, and adjourning and dispersing unmolest
ed ; and that the warrant for their arrest would
have been submitted to tiie military, as agreed
upon, although the President’s ■dispatch to the
Lieutenant Governor and the subsequent one
to the Attorney General, was imperative that
the military must not thwart the convention.
Thnt. the civil authorities have done their duty
in this respect is patent. That more could have
been done by them is impossible, as they were
not allowed to remove the cause of tire riot by
taking proper menus to prevent the meeting of
the convention, and we doubt uot for a moment
that Uie military commander himself will be
the first to corroborate these facts, and arrest
all calumnious imputations against the conduct
of our people under these trying circumstances.
As regards the proclamations of martial law,
the least that can be said is that it was inopporj
tune, as the rioting had ceased completely, the
police being masters of the situation.
Tiie colored population, as a body, did not
participate in these disgraceful scenes, and the
freedmen in the vicinity of the riot were stand
ingas lookers on, without being molested. The
colored mob, in union with a few white rioters,
who were leading them in the affair, were no
doubt well organized. That they were well
armed is undoubted, as forty-two policemen and
several citizens were either killed or wounded
by them, although the conflict was over in less
than two hours.
Twcnty-seycn rioters were killed, aud a con
siderable number wounded.
At dark, when all was over, when those of
the inob were either dispersed or in prison,
when tranquility and order was restored, mar
tial law was proclaimed, and the prisons where
the rioters were confined emptied by orders
from headquarters. These measures, undoubt
edly, were not intended to revive the hopes of
the outlaws; but were they not calculated to
inspire them with false hopes ? The very next
morning the organ of the agitators was issued,
containing, as usual, the most inflammatory
articles, and so the succeeding issues. Had the
military on Monday afternoon taken a stand to
co-operato with the civil authorities, instead of
proclaiming martial law, the most beneficial
effects would have be ;n the result. We remain,
very respectfully, your obedient servants,

*******
From the Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth
Baptist Church, Philadelphia.]
Gentlemen : I have recently been laboring under tho
distressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a
Sroetration of the nervous system. Numerous reme
ies were recommended by friends, and some of them
tested, but without relief. Yonr UGotland's German
Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried
them, and whose favorable mention of these Bitters
induced me to try them. I must confess that I had an
aversion to Patent Medicines from the “ thousand and
one” quack “ Bitters,” whose only aim seems to be to
palm off sweeten and drugged liquor upon the commu
nity in a sly way, and the tendency of which, I fear, is
to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning
that yours was really a medicinal preparation, 1 took
it with happy effect. Its action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt
and gratifying. I feel that I have derived great and
permanent benefit from the uso of a few bottles.
Very respectfully, yours,
W. D. Seigfried, No. 251 Shaekamaxon st.

Froii* them ah *Yeoommendations given
to Dr. llooiland'B German' Bitters, I was induced to
give them a trial. After using several bottles I found
them to be a good remedy for debility, and a most ex
cellent tonic for the stomach.
D. Merrige.
[From Rev. Wm. Smith, formerly Pastor of the Vin
centown and Millville (N. J.) Baptist Churches.]
Having used in my family a number of bottles of
your Hoofland’g German Bitters, I have to say that I
regard them as an excellent medicine, specially adapt
ed to remove the diseases they are recommend for.
They strengthen and Invigorate the system when de
bilitated, aud aro useful in disorders of the liver, loss
of appetite, Ac. I have also recommended them to
several of my friends, who have tried them, and found
them greatly beneficial in the restoration of health.
Yours, truly, William Smith,

I have been frequently requested to connect my name

but regarding the practice} as out of my appropriate
there, I have in aTI cases declined ; but with a clear
oof in various instances, and particularly in my own
nily, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoofland’s German
Bitters, I depart for once from my usual course, to
express my full conviction that, for generid debility ol
the system, and especially for Liver Complaint, it is a
safe and valuable preparation. In some eases it may
fail; but usually, I doubt not, it -will he very beneficial
to those who suffer from the above causes.
