which w ere presented to Worshipful .Master

Win. Hibson in tho following chaste and
elegant address :
Esteemed llrother I.eons :
In behalf of the Brethren of Webbs’
Lodge, it affords me great pleasure to pre
sent you Willi tfii the Master's Jeint, Cos/
ldr and Apron, in token of their high e
let in and appreciation of your long, ef
ficient and faithful services us their Wor
shipful Master. Whilst memory lasts,you
will ever be cherished by (he brotherhood;
and as ii living manifestation and memen
to of our high esteem for you, this presen
tation and offering is made. This .fend,
when worthily worn, is of priceless value
I noun /7.x significance. Tills pure
i'. iii'.c I (iron, tin- cin.ilem of innocence and
virtue, is to a Mason also precious. Ac
cept them, then, my Brother, at their true
Masonic \nine, anti you will then have but
a faint idea of the esteem in which you ate
licit! by the Brethren. Your wise counsels,
dignified deportment, pure life, and char
itable hand, have made a lusting impres
sion upon us all, and we trust that many
have been profiled thereby.
Silence and secrecy have long been car
dinal virtues with Masons it is true l»m
--nisi'icncc speaks ; hut how ? As the frag
rance of the rose is diffused, and as I Imsuii
imparts its rays, so Creation Itself came
forth, as permeated in silence ; and the
sun, moon and stars mbve in theirgigantic
orbits with almost lightning speed, and
yet in profound silence. Nature, both
animate and inanimate, gushes forth in
all her varied form ; of beauty, grand, nr
and magnificence, yet still in sitem/e! It is
true the tempests may howl, I ill lows surge,
slid thunders roll, mid the lamentations
of man and beasts lie heard, but they soon
pass away, and silence again reigns, “Ho
that kciieth Ids mouth keepetli liis soul;
but lie that hath no guard on liis speech
shall meet with evils.” It is the strung,
vivifying sap mid nourishment that em
balms every action and feeds every virtue,
to silence,' seen cy and solitude, xve may
strengthen our enlVelned souls, and ap
proach so dose‘to the fountain of all
light ;:,t to mdiatf*- its genial, sooth
ing rays and divine nature, even into
our V-nighted hearts. Tims enlightend,
may we not put forth energetic efforts to
execute the designs drawn upon tho trestle
board bv our Invine Master ? It is with
in these sacred halls that your true char
acter has been delineated. It is here
where the ark of the covenant—the vase
of true manna Aaron’s rod, upon which
the lily of Jesse was seen blooming unit
tlie table of gold upon which God himself
deposited his holy word—hero where grid
truths aretlev eloped, and every virtue prac
tised, that your greatest ertorts havo been
made. May you ever so live anti act ; and
after death, 'become, a living soul anil
bright light in the mansions of heavenly
felicity, as your memory will ever be en
shrined itt the hearts of all true brothers
of the mystic tie.

’l’he official paper of Chihuahua, of the

French General declined to accept the
propositions made to him, although he was
the one who first applied lor a partial e\-
ohange.

The Assassination Evidence.

at the assassination trials at Washington.

we give him the benefit of our columns,

; In accordance therewith I proceeded to
Waaliingtoii, and was then informed that
the Government had 'been advised of a
I conversation anil remarks by President
Davis, in my house, and that I was present
I when these remarks were made.
I was placed 011 the witness’ stand,
sworn, and in reply to direct questions re
-1 pooled the remarks as heard by ine.
i These remarks wore made to General
! Breckinridge, and were also hoard, and the
’ conversation was participated in bv Col
-1 onel Johnston, aid-de-eamp to the Presi
dent, and son of the lamented General Al
bert Sidney Johnston. F,x-< ievernor Lub
bock, of Texas, and Colonel Taylor Wood
were also in the room.
This was one or two days after tho Pres
ident’s speech, and on tho day that Gene
ral Breckinridge arrived here.
Tlie doors connecting this room with my
dining-room and pantry were open.
These remarks were never repeated by
me to any officer, employee or agent oftlie
United States Government, until I stood
before the court, as above stated. Neither
did I testify that the remarks were made
by President Davis in liis. speech outside
my house.
Therefore, as Colonel Alston was not
present when and where tlie remarks were
made, he wilt see tlie impropriety of his
denying tlie truth of my testimony.
The evidence, as published in the Wash
ington and New York papers, made me
say that President Davis used the remarks
testified to in liis address to the citizens
and soldiers, outside of my house, after the
receipt of the despatch from General
Breckemidge announcing the assassina
tion of Mr. Lincoln. After my return
home, 1 had the mistake corrected, upon
its being brought to my notice by our
newspaper here, the Western Democrat.
The foregoing, it is hoped,’ will relieve
me of the charge of having volunteered
“false,testimony.”
1 have never given it as my opinion, nor
do I now, that the remarks made by Presi
dent Davis in my house indicated that he
had any connection with, or former
knowledge of the atrocity that had been
committed.
rt is also charged by Colonel Alston that
1 solicited the privilege of entertaining the
President with an improper motive and
for a base purposo.
The facts are that I did not even suggest
it. Major Echols, then quartermaster of
tliis post, called upon me, and requested
permission to quarter the Presidential party
at my house. My reply was that “the latch
string was always out,” and when the par- \
ty arrived they were brought t 9 my door, j
and were admitted during my absence from ;
the house.
While 1 was quite ready and willing to
give my best efforts to entertain the Presi
dent and suite, it would have been pre
sumptuous to have offered my humble
tenement when so many larger mansions
of oilier citizens were ready to receive the
illustrious guests.
Very respectfully.
I. F. Bates.
The I’lattc City Affair—Two Men Killed
and Ten Wounded.
There have been several versions of tlie
recent affray at I’latte City, Missouri, pub
lished. 'Vo give the following account
from the Platte City Reveille , which the
Leavenworth Times (Radical) says it is in
formed by a Radical Republican “is in the
main correct.”
“It becomes our gainful duty to chronicle
the most tragic affair that has ever conic
within our knowledge in civil tiii.es.
That the public may have a correct .state
ment, and to prevent incorrect and exag
gerated statements by excited partisans,
we are induced to issue an extra, giving all
tin 1 particulars which can be obtained at
this time.
To-day (September 15th) the Radicals
held a county convention in tliis city for
the purpose of nominating county officers,
Everything passed off quietly during the
day till the adjournment of the meeting,
with the exception of some boisterous con
duct on the part of drunken men. After
tlu> meeting, however, several men became
boisterous and flourished pistols with a
| reckless disregard for the peace and quiet
1 of the city, and itj became evident that un
, less a stop was 'put to it serious eonsequen
i ees would ensue.
Accordingly, Sheriff Ogden and C'onsta-
I lile 11. T. Callahan,‘lex-officio Marshal, of
| the city, remonstrated with a man named
Donnegan, who was parading tlie streets
with liis pistol in hand and attempting to
create a disturbance. Their remonstrances
were, however, ineffectual, and Donnegan
rudely pushed the officers of the law aside
and cocked liis pistol.
1 Constable Callahan called on the by
: glanders to assist him in arresting the man.
Donnegan raised his revolver and fired into
the crowd. The firing then began in earn
est.
Probably fifty men or more were engaged
in the affair. We cau only sum up the !
general result.
Killed—William Callahan, Conservative, |
and James Heath. Radical.
Mortally wounded—Saunders MeComass,
Radical: John Heath. Radical. |
Wounded—N. I*. Ogden. Radical, sheriff |
of Platte county, slightly in the wrist;
John Foley, Conservative, slightly in the
arm : Richard Bush, Conservative, severe- !
ly in thigh: Jonathan Todd, Conservative,
dangerously through thigh and hip , Frank
Cates, Conservative, severely in arm;
Henry Todd, boy, Conservative, slightly in j
thigh; Thomas Donnegan, Radical, the
originator of the difficulty, severely in the
groin.
The difficulty originated in the attempt
to resist the officers of the law in the dis
charge of their duty. Let no man be de
ceived by other reports. It is a most pain
ful affair, and we have attempted to detail
the origin and the consequences in their
correct light.
At this time the citizens of Platte City
and surrouuding country, irrespective of
party, are under arms, under the command
oft lie officers of the law. determined to
enforce the law and keep the peace. All
law abiding citizens of the county arc re
quested to lend their assistance.
lawlessness must be subdued, and will
be.”

BY TELEGRAPH.
The Torch-aud-Turpeatiue Convention.
Pittsburg, September 28. —The pro
ceedings of the Convention yesterday
were animated. Several amusing songs,
ridiculing the President were listened to
with favor. Resolutions were adopted
hostile to the President.
Gen. Butler made a characteristic
speech, and Gen. Willich denounced the
i Cleveland Convention as made up from
stragglers of the army.
A dispatch was received from General
Fremont, which elicited three cheers for
him.
Ruder was the lion of the Convention.
Among the resolutions presented by Col.
Streight was one asking Congress to di
rect the President to remove from the late
rebel Stetes all arms and munitions of war
not needed for present use there, which
was adopted with one vote in the negative
—the first and only one of that character
cast in the Convention, and whi ifereaied a
sensation. The resolutions also endorse the
constitutional amendment and assert that
its propositions are the mildest terms ever
i granted to subdued rebels ; that the Pres*
ident has no right ti a policy asagainst the
’ legislative department of the government,
and that his acts have converted conquered
j rebels into impudent claimants for rights
j which they have forfeited, and for places
s which they desecrated ; that the rights of
the conqueror to legislate for the conquered
is the public law of all civilized nations.
General Butler in his remarks said that
! as soon as these communities have shown
| a desire to be received back in an humble
| (mark the word) —in an humble thank
| fulness i'or the clemency meted out to them
| —because it is for men who have erred to
1 be humble when they acknowledge their
mistake—they should be received, but not
till then. Mr. Davis, said lie. is by no means
the worst man in the Southern Confederacy,
but lie chose to have the place Os a repre
-1 sentative man—he played for an empire,
I and staked his life on the result, and let
\ him pay the forfeit ! (applause,) as an ex
i ample for all time that no man shall plot
treason in the halls of the Congress of the
United States.
General Lee—he continued —left the
army of the United States, and went into
Virginia and was at the head of the rebel
forces of Virginia before the State seeeed- i
ed, and carried her out at the point of the
bayonet. Now, gentlemen, we had an
Arnold, and lie escaped punishment, but
lie did not remain here. We have, as it
seems to me, an equally guilty traitor—and
I the question to be decided in this country
! is, whether his surrender as a prisoner of
war, when he was captured, shall avail
him against the desertion of his flag, to
take service in the armies of the enemies
of his country ? [Cries of “no”—“no.”]
I therefore again say, that I would make
i an example of this man, so that no soldier
hereafter should be found to desert the flag ;
!of his country. [“Good” —and cheers.] J
i Now, then, fellow-soldiers, what shall De
done with the soldier who deserts his flag
and takes with him the secrets of his com
mander? —[Cries of “hang him —shoot- j
ing is too good for him”] —who deserts for
the purpose of taking command, or bribed
by a higher command, in the armies of the !
enemies of liis country ?
Death of Bishop Hawks—Queen Emma
Tendered her passage home, &c.
New York, September 27.— Rev. Dr. i

New Orleans, and Bishop of Mississippi,
died to-day.
A San Francisco dispatch says Queen j
Emma will be conveyed home in the gov- |
eminent steamship Vanderbilt, which was j
tendered her by Secretary Seward.
A dispatch from Warsaw, Ky., where |
Ex-Provost Marshal Ferris was taken from
the steamer Gen. Buell to answer the
charge of murder for hanging two guerril
las, states that the town has been garri
soned by a company of soldiers by order of
General Davis, commanding that Depart
ment.
Gen. Sweeny announces that he declines
having anything to do with the Fenian
proceedings.
New Sensation Among tlie Fenians.
Nrw York, September 28. — The head- I
quarters of Head Centre Stephens Was all
hustle and activity on yesterday. Important
negotiations are pending to astonish the
Brotherhood.
A nolle, prosequi having been entered in
the Roberts case, it was dismissed. A
flaw discovered in the indictment of the
Fenians at Erie will necessitate tlicir dis- ,
charge.
An Ottawa special dispatch denies that j
the Fenians are concentrating on the fron- i
tier.

National Intelligencer states on authority
that Justice Chase and Justice Underwood j

month, consequently the ease ot Davis
cannot be tried.
Recently a delegation of Southern citi
zens sought to have modified the existing

| Cherokees paid a half million in gold for
! these lands thirty-one years ago, and the ;
! Union says they are worth three or four
i millions. The sale was made by Harlan
the day before he left the Interior Depart
; ment.

REVIEW OF THE AUGUSTA MARKET,
FOll THE WEEK ENDING SEPT. 2‘JTH, 1866.
[lt should be borne in mind that our
quotations represent wholesale prices. Small
bills, to Planters and others, arc filled at a
shade higher rates.]
REMARKS. —Our last review closed on
a market unusually dull for ihe season ;
but on Tuesday and Wednesday, of this
week, country merchants began to come
in, and the streets were enlivened by a
lafger number of wagons than xve have
observed in the city in many years—-im
parting a cheering degree of activity to
our commercial circles, which lias con
tinued during the week. Our merchants
are well supplied with goods of every
description, and are willing to sell at tlie
very lowest living scale of prices.
Crop accounts continue almost univer
sally unfavorable throughout the cotton
: region, and tho general conviction tliat the
' crop must fall below the estimates made
earlier in the season has resulted in a ma
terial advance in prices. The weather in
this vicinity has been variable, with cloudy
days and cool nights.
In our general market we have few ma
terial changes to report. Prices are gener
ally firm, save in bagging and corn, which
are lower. The acknowledged falling off
in the cotton crop, with one or two ship
ments of bagging from Europe, invited by
the late advanced rates, have weakened
confidence in that article; and the floods
and frosts of the West have not stopped
the downward tendenc y of corn.
FINANCIAL.—Money continues scarce
and commands, for good paper, 11 Or 2 tjs
cent, a month, and loans have been effected
at even higher rates. The inquiry for se
curities is limited, and there is little change
iu the quotations for bonds or bank bills.
Brokers are buying gold at 143 aud selling
at 115. Silver buying 133, and selling at
138. Exchange in New York, par@J r‘
cent, premium.

345 cents, a few bales being sold at higher

tions of the previous day. IV e quote as the

Strict middling 3.d
Good middling 36
Sales of the week, 1,552 bales. Receipts,
9*37 bales.
Postscku'T— Saturday, P M.
The report of a decline in the Liverpool
cotton market, received at noon, unsettled
our market, and a few sales were made at
lower rates. The report of an advance
was received after the close of business,
and elicited severe commentaries on the
reliability of the cable as an agency for :
conveying commercial intelligence.
BACON.—There liasbeena gooddemand
during the week and prices have improved
fully 4 cent. We quote : Clear sides, 23V
(§.231; clear ribbed do., 221(3 23; ribbed do. j
22; shoulders, 19(3.20, and hams 25 cents j
BAGGING.—The stock is large and the 1
demand is active, but under the gloomy
crop prospects, price?* are weaker. We
quote 38@40 cents for gunny; 32(3,35 for ;
Dundee, and 35@38 for Kentucky. Rope
is in good demand at 22@2:l for machine j
hemp; 19@20 for hand spun.
BUTTER.—The market is well supplied j
with Goshen and Western butter, and the |
demand is fair, at 50 cents for the former !
and 30 to 40 cents for the latter. Country j
is in moderate request at 30(3,35 cents.
COTTON GOODS.—The market is well j
supplied, and prices are firm. Augusta J i
goods are in active demand at 171 cents; ;
Montour do., 17 cents, which is 1 cent ad- j
vance on last week.
WHEAT.—Stocks of wheat are running j
low, and receipts are light. There is a fair j
demand by our millers at the ruling rates !
of the last month—§2 50@2 75 for white,
and $2 20@2 40 for red.
CORN.—Stocks are rather in excess of
the demand, and the market is weak, j
We quote white Si 45(3,1 50; yellow, §1 35@ I
140; mixed, 81 30. We hear of some sales
at 5 cents under these figures, to close con- j
signments.
OATS.—Are dull at 75 cents.
SALT.—There is a good demand for salt
at unchanged rates—§2 85@2 95.
TOBACCO.—There is a good demand,
especially for common andmedium grades.
Old, tax free, is scarce and in request.
POTATOES.—There is a good demand
for Irish potatoes at §iao vp bbl.
For the current prices of other goods we
refer to our table, which has been careful
ly revised.
. RECEIPTS OF PRODUCE, &C.
The following are the receipts of pro
duce by the different railroads during tlio

Savannah Market.
Savannah, Sept. 28.— Cotton —The con
tinued receipt of favorable news from New
York has infused much life into this mar
ket during the past week. Almost every
desirable lot offering has been eagerly
taken up, and to-day closed quiet at an ad
vance of 1 to lie on last week’s prices, say
34 !c to 35c for New York middlings, though
some parcels are hold lc in advance of
these quotations. It should be borne in
mind that inferior grades and uneven lots
arc not in request, and have not sustained
a corresponding advance.
The crop accounts are as discouraging as
ever, and the gloomiest speculations every
where indulged in.
