The following letter from General Early
to a lady in Winchester will be read with
interest, not only by the people of the
Lower Valley, but by all who remember
tin gallant scrvic< sos the army in the
various campaigns in the Valley. The let
ter does honor to the General’s head and
heart:
Toronto, C. W.. Sept., 27, 1860.
Bear Madam —A letter from a gallant
mid c.-t K-mud young frit rid who ibught in
all the battle around Winchester, informs
me that, some time in the ensuing month
there will be a dedication of the cemetery
which has been set apart under the aus
pice- of the ladies of that town and its
vicinity for the Conicdci-atc dead who fell
in the lower Shenandoah Valley, lit the
distant City of Mexico, I read the account
of (he steps inaugurated by the ladies of
Winchester for collecting the ramuins and
making the graves of the brave men who
lost their .lives in defence of their country
in and around the latter place, and it
is impossible for me to give expression
to the emotions of gratitude and admira
tion excited in rny bosom on reading that
account. 1 knew that many of those whose
remains were to be thus eared for, fell fight
ing under my command —amoing them
being a number of valued personal
friends—and this sad and touching tribute
to their memories effected me very deep
ly. Since then 1 have anxiously desired
an opportunity to convey to the noble wo
men of Winchester and the lower Valley of
the Shenandoah, the expressions of my
heartfelt thanks, not only for their care for
the remains of the dead, but for their de
voted kindness and attention to the sick
and wounded of my command, arid 1 now
beg to do so through you. 1 fully appre
ciate the self-sacrificing virtues disp.ayed
by all my countrywomen during the war,
but there are peculiar reasons why I should
entertain sentiments of the warmest admi
ration for and gratitude to the ladies of
Winchester. It was the fortune of the
troops under my command to relieve that
place from the presence of tile enemy three
times during the war, and I had abundant
opportunities of ascertaining, as well the
heroic fortitude with which the ladies en
dured all the horrors of its occupation by
our most cruel and vindictive foes, as the
unwavering fidelity to our cause which
they maintained under circumstances of
unusual temptation to succumb. L was
also fully apprised of the care taken by
them to honor our dead and provide for our
wounded, not only when wo were success
ful. but also when reverses compelled us
to leave them in the hands of the enemy.
When many of my countrymen, in ig
norance ol' (lie great disadvantages under
which I labored at the time of iny reverses
judged me harshly, it was from a lady of
Winchester that 1 received a message, scut
through the linos of the enemy, that,
whatever others might do, the ladies of'
that, place, who know the tremendous odds
with which I had to contend, attached no
blame to me. It is not to be wondered,
therefore, that 1 feel so deeply towards
them. God knows how well 1 love my
native State and all her unfortunate sisters
oft In South, and bow cheerfully my life was
is hod and would now be yielded in their
defense ; but, to all of us, there are some
spots peculiarly sacred. With me, the
first a. mil}? these is the place where 1 was
born and where now repose the remains
of mv mother ; the next is Winchester,
the plains around which were watered by
the mood of so many of my brave com
rades. and where now so many true women
weep over the graves of the fallen. It is
sad, sad indeed to he an exile from my
country, and still sadder to mourn the loss
of the most just and sacred cause for
which man ever fought; but there is some
comfort in knowing that the struggle
which developed much heroism on the
part of our soldiers, and so many virtues
in our women, has not been all in vain ; and
wherever I may wander 1 will bear with
me the proud consolation derived from the
knowledge that my country women, who
were so faithful and devoted during all the
trials and vicissitudes of our dreadful con
test for independence, now that it lias gone
against us, remain true to the memories of
the dead. Power and money may procure
costly monuments and testimonials to com
memorate the names of those who fought
for the successful party,, but all the power

The British Aristocracy.
Amid the general decay and degeneracy '
of the aristocracies 6f the old world, the j
nobility of England have shown that their
class, in that country at least, is as vigorous
and hardy, physically, and even more strong- .
ly developed, intellectually, than at any for
mer period of their history. For this con- i
dition of their physical and intellectual
status various reasons have been assigned, j
The Kev. Dr. .Stowe, who has given the
subject much thought and patient invesii- |
gation. arrives at the conclusion that the j
aristocracy of England, are indebted for
their present wealth, talents, influence and ■
physical efficiency to the following causes: j
Fir-?. The right of primogeniture and
the law of entail. No power like the pow
er of laud. . . .
Second. Constant accessions from the
Commons, receiving from them every
generation some of the most vigorous and
energetic men, and giving every ambitious
man the hope that he may some day be
come a nobleman. Os about 450 or 500
• members'of the House ofPeersin 1853.
► in6te than half (260) had received their
present titles since 1770 —especially by
marrying strong, fine developed women
\ from the untitled ranks. The preserva
t: nos the purity of the blood has been the
ruin of tli other European nobilities.
Third. The wisdom of always yielding,
! and making a merit of it, where they
must. Not more than one halfthe titled
nobility of Great Britain have seats in the
House of Lords. To be entitled to a seat
by hereditary right one must be a Peer of
: England, or a Peer of the United Kingdom
! of England and .Scotland, established in
the reign of Queen Anna. All grades of
titles, except Dukes, are in the House of
j Commons by election.
Seldom more than 50 Lords of the 450 or
500 are present at the legislative sessions,
no stated number being necessary for a
quorum; and in the law sessions often not
more than two besides the law Lords.
In U 53 (the time of his visit) there was
one prince of the blood, or lloyal Duke,
and the House was composed of Dukes,
■JU ; Marquises, 23 ; Earls, 135 ; Vis
counts, Barons 21S ; representative
Irish Peers, (chosen for life,) 28 ; repre
sentative .Scotch Peers, (chosen from Par
liament to Parliament,) 16, and Bishops,
30; English Bishops ranking a> Barons, Ll;
the Bishop of most recent appointment
and the Bishops of Sudor and Man not
having a seat; Irish Bishops, who sit by
rotation 4.
The Sovereign can make any nobleman
of any rank at any time, but cau never un
make one.
The noblemen have no connection with
the places from which they receive their
titles ; but the Bishops all have this con
nection, except the Archbishop of Canter
bury, who lias no special connection with
Canterbury.
Chinese Pirates.
Ilong Kong papers give a full account of
a recent capture and burning of twenty
two pirale junks by a couple of British
gunboats which sailed from Hong Kong,
July 12, for Hainan Island, and discover
ed the pirates in a small inlet. The place
is described as a beautiful spot, covered
with a luxuriant tropical vegetation, arid
usually affording a nafe retreat. The junks
each mounted about ten large guns, and
showed light without hesitation. The
gunboats advanced to within short range,
and were occasionally struck, though most
of the balls from the pirate junks passed
over them.
The cannonading went on for about two
hours, wdien anew turn was given to the
course of events by means of a landing par
ty from the gunboats. About forty five
men were quietly put on shore, and under
cover of the jungle made their way round
to the part of the creek where the pirate
vessels were lying, without being observed
until they came close to the junks. From
those lying close along the shore the pi
rates immediately fled, sculling in their
sampans or swimming ashore to the oppo
site side of'ilie creek, and gradually, as the
landing party took possession of the junks
along shore, and by means of boats began
to board those which were anchored out in
the creek, the pirates gave up, and even
from the vessels lying furthest out, the
crew slipped over the sides and disappear
ed with or without the assistance of sam
pans.
A number of pirates were made prison
ers, but being mostly wounded and in need
of medical attention, were allowed to es
cape. The junks were all burnt, notwith
standing some of them contained valuable
cargos. It is thought that the severe pun
ishment thus inflicted, and the organiza
tion of a court at Hong Kong for the sup
pression of piracy, (the admiral of the
station being chief justice) will have a
most salutary effect.
Flow of Gold to the United States.
—The London Review has the following.
“The influx of gold to the United States
lias continued on a somewhat larger scale
than had been looked for, although, in
iiiet, amounting to no great sum. After
j the enormous receipts from that country,
a month or two back, it is not much to
; have to return some two hundred thousand
or three hundred thousand pounds in two
or three successive weeks. The most satis
factory feature in the movement is the
confidence that it shows in the permanence
of peace in America, and that, as far as
investors are concerned, the renewal of the
civil war is considered in the highest de
gree remote. As wo have already had oc
casion to observe, this belief is not only
felt by Englishmen lin'd Germans, but has
latterly been shared by Frenchmen. The
live-twenty bonds, which these shipments
are made to pay for, are as eagerly, if not
more eagerly, bought in Paris, as in Lon
don and Frankfort. Not very many years
ago scarcely any foreign securities were
quoted on the French bourse, and it is sig
nificant to notice how great an alteration
has taken place in this respect. Except
on our stock exchange, it may be doubted
whether in any other capital of Europe,
not even in Frankfort or Amsterdam, for
eign investments are now so largely held
as in Par is. Formerly, native capitalists
would take nothing but the rentes; now
they are ready to invest in Italian, Span
ish, Mexican (unfortunately,) and many
other similar securities. Except, however,
in rare instances, United States bonds have
been in little favor, and hence the signifi
cance of the present demand.’’

Conclusions of General Grant's report to
the. president after a Tour of Inspection in
tlie South.
N * * * -if * 7V *
'flic following are the conclusions come
to by me:
1 am satisfied that the masses of thinking
mm of 'the South accept the present situa
tion of a,fairs IN GOOD FAITH. The ques
tions which have heretofore divided the
sentiments of the people of the two sections
—SLAVERY AND STATE RIGHTS, Or file
right of a State to seeede from the Union
they regard as haring been settled FOREVER
by the highest tribunal — arms- —that man
can resort to. I was pleased to learn from
the leading men whom I met that they
not only accepted the decision arrived at
as final, but that now the smoke of battle
has-clearcd away, and time has been given
for reflection, that this decision has been a
fortunate one for the whole country, they
receiving the like benefits from it with
those who opposed them in the field and
in the cabinet.
My observations led me to the conclu
sion that the citizens of the Southern
States are anxious to return to self-govern
ment WITHIN THE UNION as soon as possi
ble : that while reconstructing they want
and require protection from the govern
ment ; that they are in earnest in wishing
to do what they think is required by the
government not humiliating to them as
eiCons. and that if such a course was
pointed out they would pursue it in good
faith. It is to be regretted that there can
not be a gr, iter comminging at this time be
tween the citizens of the two sections , and
} arttcularly those entrusted with the law
making power.

beginning on Wednesday last. "
1 rofessor Henry, ot the Smithsonian
Institute, says the amount of rain which
tell in L’4 hours, was somewhat more than
five inches, being the greatest quantity
that has fallen within a similar period for
a long time. Considerable damage to
property is reported along the line of the
upper Potomac and the Chesapeake and

Georgetown.
Several dams on the Patapsco were de
stroyed. and the darn at Elysville being
swept away tore down the turnpike bridge
at Ellicott's Hills. These wrecks, floating
down and accumulating as they went,
lodged against the heavy stone bridge on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Ilches
tcr. and swept it away. It was considered
the strongest bridge on the road. Several
houses were swept away, and two families
of nine persons in all were drowned. Wash
ington and a great portion of the adjoining
country was completely flooded.

Deserted.
The river flowed with the light on its breast,
And the waves were eddying by ;
And the round, red sun went down in the
West,
When my love's loving lips to my lips
were prest,
. Under the evening sky ; ‘
Now weeping alone by the river I
stray,
For my love has left me tliis many a
day ;
Left me to droop and dio.
As the river flowed then, the river flows
still,
In ripple, and foam and spray,
On bv the church and round bv the hill.
And under tbesluice by iheold burnt mill,
And out to the fading day ;
Hut I love it no more, for delight grows
cold
When the song is sung and the tale is
told,
And the heart is given away.
Oil! river, run far ! Oh ! river, run fast!
Oh ! weeds, float on to the sea !
For the sun has gone down on my beautiful
past,
And the hopes that like bread on the
waters I east,
Have drifted away like thee !
So the dream it is fled, and the day it
ijr done,
And my lips will murmer the name of
one
Who will never come back to me.
The Amazon Basin.
Professor Agassiz, who has recently re
turned from an exploring expedi
tion up the Amazon and its tributaries,
is giving to the public, through a series of
lectures, the results of his investigations.
In a lecture delivered in Boston, under the
auspices of the Young Mens’ Christian
Association, he thus describes the famous
basin through which the turgid waters of
the Amazon slowly glide to the ocean.
He said that the country was so different
from any we are familiar with or heard of,
; so peculiar in its physical condition, that
it deserved to be carefully examined as
a specimen of tropical nature in Africa or
Asia. In the first place the whole Amazon
region is a vast plain. There are no lulls
interrupting tliis immense expanse of
woods and water. Only in tlie middle and
lower course of the river is tliere a range
! of low hills. The Professor here explained,
| by means of maps, the various localities,
names of tributary rivers, and other facts
connected with the subject designed to
illustrate the immense space covered with
water, owing to the litttle slope from the
Andes and the wonderful net-work of
rivers. The valley of the Amazon extends
from West to East five degrees South of
the line. The length of the valley is 2,000
j miles; width about 1,200 miles; the
i source of the river 4,000 miles from
| its mouth ; and the whole of this space is
| a plain from the Andes to the Atlantic.
| Over a length of 3,000 miles the slope is
i only 210 feet. Therefore, the Amazon
valley cannot bo compared to ordinary river
J valleys. Within this vast expanse are
| several rivers longer than any of our At
; lantic rivers, hardly known even by name.
There are great lakes having communica
tion with the Amazon, and, in fact, the
interior is a vast fresh water ocean moving
upon an inclined plain. There are spa
ces of water so wide that the opposite
shores cannot be seen. The Amazon
swells in three different ways. In October
snow begins to melt at the foot of the An
des; the rise advances by degrees, but it
is not until March that it is felt in the
lower waters, and it is highestin June. It
takes from October to June to swell, and
that time for the water from the Andes to
reach the ocean. That is not the princi
! pal source of the rise. A swelling from
the southern part takes place in the rainy
months, beginning in September. In Oc
tober all the rivers on the right side begin
to swell. The rainy season on the nor
thern side begins in March, and it is not
until May that the river begins to swell.
The combined actiorj of all this is that the
main stream increases in bulk from Octo
ber to June, and falls again from June to
October. The rise is never less than thir
ty feet, and is frequently fifty. The re
sult may be imagined in a country where
the highest inequalities of surface are from
fifty to sixty and seventy-five feet. There
are times, it may be said, that the whole
land is under water, and when the forest
is actually navigable. You can sail
through the forests in every direction, and
the Indians have an expression signifying
“boat path.” You may go on a large
river or a small river, on a boat-path of
considerable dimensions or so narrow that
all the boats can do is to proceed amidst
the dark vegetation. The whole surface
not occupied by water is primitive forests,
and it is almost impossible •to penetrate
through the dense vegetation. 1 There is a
variety in the vegetation which is wonder
ful. The waters of the main stream are
turbid, somewhat like a mixture of coffee
with a large amount of milk, and they car
ry along an immense amount of sediment
which subsides the moment the water is
still. The mouth of the Amazon where
it enters the ocean is 160 miles wide, and it
is all fresh water. The turbid waters can
be seen long before the land is visible, anu
it is maintained fifty miles beyond its
mouth. All the great rivers which flow
into the Amazon from the high mountains
share in this color ; but, on the contrary
all the rivers however large, which rise in
woody plain are black, containing in solu
j tion a large amount of vegetable sub
stance. Notwithstanding the amount of
biack water poured into the Amazon, it
does not become black. There is no other
water system in the world like this. You
may compare the Mississippi, the St.
Lawrence, or the large rivers of Europe
and Asia with the Amazon, but all the
rivers whicli receive a limited amount of
supply from their headwaters or from
the headwaters of their tributaries, do
do not drain such an immense extent of
land as does the Amazon —a basin 2,000
miles long ana about 1,200 miles wide. The
climate of this region is most delightful. It
is by no means hot, by no means un
bearable as the deserts of Africa, or the
regions of Asia. By reason of the trade
winds and the character of the land, the
Amazon running from west to east to the
Atlantic, a cool breeze goes up river all the
time, so that the average temperature is 84°.
The maximum temperature of the whole
region is 92’—the lowest 72°. The aver
age depression of the thermometer during
the rainy season is 73°, so that the changes
of temperature are as much as 15°, the
maximum not beingmore than 90°, nor the
minimum below 75°, and a fresh breeze
being felt every evening very sensibly. The
circumstances of climate would, therefore,
re ider it one of the most pleasant and de
sirable tropical regions, but no country has
a worse administration, owing to the gov
ernment of the provinces and the mode of
life of the inhabitants. Young men who
have no experience in governing are gene
rally sent as governors, and owing to their
ambition and other reasons, they consider
it a place from which they desire to get
away as soon as possible, and they misrep
resent the country. The Professor said
that when he expressed a desire to enter
that region, he was warned that he was
running into a region of death, but there
are no dangers, and hardly any discomforts
to be met with. After referring to the su
perior water communications with every
part of the vadey, the speaker mentioned
as another difficulty in regard to the re
gion was that the people were indolent,
with no ideas oi‘ improving the land. The
Indians have been made almost slaves to
the few white men. This country might
be made a Paradise, so rich is it in
natural productions and immense wealth
to be obtained there. Twenty millions
of men could live there with more of the
Facilities which we enjoy by developing
that which has hardly yet been brought to
market. A better future for the country
could uot be conceived than for some of our
East lumber men to explore the forests,
which are full of timber in such exquisite
variety that we have no idea of such rich
ness. At a provincial exhibition at Para,
there was exhibited a collection of
117 dift'erent kind of costly tim
ber gathered from a piece of laud half
a mile square. And yet in the whole
Amazon region, over an extent ot country
two thousand miles in length and twelve
hundred wide, there is not one saw-mill.
Large trees are cut down and chop
ped off with a hatchet in the form of a hoe
to make a plank one inch in thinkness.
There is a want of ski'll and sagacity in the
population. The Amazon, is still a closed
country, but is soon to be opened to the
commerce of the world. One ot the gTeat
features of the Amazon, which is very re
markable. is that the immense river has
no delta for which other great rivers are
remarkable. Yet it carries an immense
amount of mud—more than any other
stream.
This was owing, the Professor said, to a
very singular combination of circumstances,
which he had not quite unravelled; but
one thing was certain—that the ocean en
croaches upon the continent and at a fear
ful rate. This encroachment has gone on
for ages like the receding of Niagara Falls
from Cake omaria towards Lake Erie,
and three to four hundred miles of the out
line has already disappeared from before
the present mouth of the river. _ The fact
of the encroachment is unmistakeable;
whether owing to the softnesj of the
material upon which it works or by the
subsiding of the land in addition to the
direct action of the sea, he was unable to
say. The Professor treated at some length
upon the geographical character of the
river valley in connection with the theory
of encroachment of the ocean upon the
land, and concluded his address by expres
sing his appreciation of the very valuable
assistance he had received from Major Con
tinho, a Brazilian engineer, who fo T twelve
years has been exploring the valley of the
Amazon and surveying some of its waters,
so that the lecturer had only, as it were,
to reach out and take up the information
which had been gathered.
Anew railroad is projected between Al
bany and New York, intended to be laid
on the west side of the Hudson.

Messrs. Editors : —Somi men, in order
to make themselves popular , and to catch 1
repudiation votes, are calling for a State
Convention to give relief to those in debt.
I thought we had given a quietus to repu

with the plea of relief. The best and surest
way to get relief is for every able-bodied
man to go to work at something; and, by !
industry, each and every family will be
relieved. Debts can be paid very fast
with the present high prices of farming
products, and most men can pay one
fourih their indebtedness this winter, even
with one-third of a cotton crop; and,
where they cannot, and have don 3 the best
they could, they will not lie sued. Any
man who sues in such cases ought to be
punished in some way. A Convention
would do no good, for it could not pay the
debts without money, and would have no
power to make any law impairing private
contracts. The Stay Law was the best
and wisest arAngemeut that could have
been made, and I hope the Legislature,
soon to convene, will continue it without
any changes, and request the people to bo
lenient and indulgent with each other, and
compound liberally. Many debts should
be reduced heavily. The people have lost
their slaves, and much of other property,
and every creditor should feel willing to
give up a part of their claims; but these
things should be by mutual consent of
parties. This Belief Convention would
not be of general benefit to the soldiers, as
j they were generally poor men or in me
dium circumstances, who, as a general
I thing, liever went in debt more than they
! could pay in one or two years with rnoder
: ate luck. It would 11 :t benefit the large
| land owners; for t hose of them who are in
debt have, since the surrender, generally
1 transferred or smuggled their property, so
! that no creditor will ever get anything out
iof them. The old law allows a sufficient
1 exemption of property for any family to
live comfortably on. Every man of com
mon sense knows these things; then let us
hear less of relief and distress that would
follow, should the Legislature fail to repu
diate or do something- else equally as un
just. I have old claims contracted pre
vious to the war, but I shall sue no man
j this winter, where he has done his duty—
; whether lie pays the fourth of his indebt
-1 edness or not—and I think that is the sen
| timent of every man; but I want men to
j know that there are laws in the land to
| compel them to do their duty, when they
act unfairly. I am suri rised to see so
many men want to hold on to large bodies
of land, and remain in debt too. Better
give their creditors part of the land and
rid themselves of debt, for there is nothing
so depressing to a man’s spirits as to
bo in debt. Small farms, with plenty of
guano and good farming implements, arc
much more profitable, with less risk and
more satisfaction.
Let the negro go, for he will not work
on a farm at best. The more of them on
a farm the less is made in proportion to
expenses. The sooner we get clear of
them, the better for us. Justice.
The Conversion of Seven-Thirties.
—Conversions of seven thirty notes, fall
ing due August, 1867, into five-twenties,
continue to be made at the Treasury De
partment at the rate of something less
than $4,000,000 per week. There arc now
outstanding about $270,000,000 of this
issue of seven-thirties. These notes, ow
iny to the immense clerical labor involved
in their examination, can be redeemed by
the department at only about the average
rate of $5,000,000 per week, if presented
as rapidly a® they could be disposed of.
Parties holding seven-thirty notes of the
above issue, will, therefore, do well to for
ward them to the Treasury for conversion
into five-twenties as soon as possible, as
hereafter, in the case of the presentation of
large quantities near the period of the
full maturity of the notes, mudli delay will
ensue before the bonds in conversion can
possibly be furnished by the Department.
Increase of .population. —A valuable
statistical table, exhibiting the rate of in
crease in the population of the different
States in the Union since the census ol
1860, is now in course of preparation at
the Department of the Interior. The cen
sus of 1865, has been received by the de
partment from seven States, and the in
crease of population, even during the
existence of the war, in which the
mortality was unusually large, is as fol
lows : Minnesota, 40 per cent. ; Illinois,
26 per cent. ; Michigan, 7 5-10 per cent. ;
llhode Island, 4 per cent. ; Massachusetts,
3 per cent. Taking the general average of
this increase, 131 per cent, as a fair repre
sentation of the ratio of increase in the
other States, the Census Bureau estimates
that the population of the United States
and Territories has increased from 31,443,-
821, the number found by the census of
1860, A 35,500,000.
A Bun on the Pope’s Bank.—A for
eign letter
been for some days a run on the Pope’s
Bank, and bills to the amount of 10,000
scudi are paid in gold every twenty-four
hours. The daily payments are limited to
that sum, and no person receives more
than five scudi at one time. The circula
tion of the Roman Bank is more than $4,-
000,000, which is very large among a popu
lation of not much more than half a mil
lion, with little commerce. So great is the
pressure for payment that a crowd of one
or two thousand are in the queve, which
extends a great distance from the bank,
and begins to form the evening before,
such is the eagerness to get places. A few
days ago the struggle wasso violent, and the
interference of the police so rough, that a
row ensued, when many were wounded,
and about seventy-five marched off to
prison.
An Important Project.— The Mem
phis (Tenn.) Appeal notes the return of
Major Joseph Barbiere, of that city, from
France, where he has been arranging for
direct mercantile communication between
Memphis and Europe That paper savs:
“\V e are informed that he has been suc
cessful in his project,, and that sonic time
during the coming winter we may expect
to see several ocean steamers, flying a Eu
ropean flag, at our landing, and, what is
better, full of foreign freight for our city
and the surrounding country.”
Fire in Moxticello. —We leirn that a
fire occurred in Monticello, last Tuesday
night about 12 o’clock, in the brick build
ing occupied as stores by Messrs. J. M. &
\y. P. Marvin and J. I). Turner & Cos.,
which was totally destroyed. Messrs. J.
M. &W. P. Marvin were insured to the
amount 0f520,000 and Messrs. Turner &
Cos., SIO,OOO.
In Montreal last week, a little girl fell
over the wire railing that surrounds one
of the basins in Niger Square, into water
eight feet deep. She was saved, like Home,
by some geese. A number of these warb
lers that were kept there commenced gab
bling about the accident, and attracted the
gardener's attention to the spot. He ar
rived just in time to save the child.
New Bice. —The steamer Charles S.
Hardee , Capt. Daniels, arrived yesterday
front the plantation of Col. Waddell, on
the Ogeechee, bringing five hundred bush
els rough rice, of the new crop. About
twelve thousand bushels more from the
same plantation will be ready for market
about the latter part of the present week.
—Savannah Herald.
The Atlantic cable has been looked upon
as so hopelessly lost, that the underwriters
had paid the full amount insured. The
Great Eastern will now be entitled to a
large amount of salvage money, and so it
may be hoped that the long run of ill luck
which that vessel has had to endure has
come to an end, and that her shareholders
will at last get rich by her.
Cotton Tax Unconstitutional. —Bev
erdy Johnson, of Maryland, in reply to ap
inquiry from Hon. Charles J. Scott, of
Wilcox county, Alabama, gives it as his
opinion that the tax of three cents, imposed
by the act of Congress is unconstitutional,
and he believes the Court wilt so decide.
The Wilcox Times says the planters of that
county are concerting measures to have the
question tested in the Supreme Court.
Anew magazine, the name of which is
not stated, is announced to appear shortly.
It is to be edited in Boston, rumor says by
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and Mr. J. R.' Gil
more. One ot its features, perhaps the
chief one, is that ail its articles are to be
anonymous, which will serve to introduce
young writers to the public, and to stimu
late curiosity concerning them.
If we would have powerful minds, we
must think; if we would hare faithful I
hearts we must love ; if we would have
mucles, we must labor ; and these three
thought, love, and labor—include all that j
is valuable in life.
THE CONTEST I* NEW TORS.
The Empire State Can be Carried for
Ilotfmau and Pruyu !
Now that speculation concerning the Oc
tober election is passed, we have but to turn
our attention to the struggle in our own
State. The gains on the popular vote in
Pennsylvania and Indiana afford ground
for the Greatest encouragement.
If headway could be made against the
Radicals in those States, it is certain that
a determined effort in New York will re
sult in their complete rout and overthrow.
That a great victory- is within our grasp
there is not a shadow of a doubt. The
current of public opinion is against the Dis
union Radicals.
The Democratic National Union men of
these States have shown us what can be
done. The progress made in Pennsylvania
during the past three weeks, was remarka
ble. The work accomplished duriug the
closing days of the struggle, had a visible
effect everywhere, and if equal energy had
been displayed throughout the canvass, the
gains would have been sufficient to have
given us the State.
This should nerve every lover of Consti
tutional Government to the fullest perform
ance of his dutv in this crisis. It proves
to us that labor for such a cause will pro
duce the most glorious results. We have
but to make the necessary sacrifices, and a
victory will be achieved that will roll back
the tide of Disunion Radicalism, and save
the Republic.
The Denocratie National Union party
has but to rally as one man in defence of
the Union and' Constitution, and the Em l
pire State will record a verdict for its
principles and its candidates. Attend to
: the Registry ! (Make out complete Poll
| lists in every School District! Bo sure
| that every friend of the Union is at the
polls on the day of election ! Make this
1 work complete throughout the State, and
the victory will be secured !
While we have popular candidates, and
•are thoroughly united, the reverse is the
case with our opponents. Their ticket is
confessedly weak, and they have numerous
causes for dissensions and divisions in their
ranks. Delegates seceded from several of
their Congressional Conventions ; two can.
didates are running in the Monroe Dis
trict ; they have two tickets in the field in
Schuyler county, while in New York they
have two Committees, and the leaders are
involved in perpetual disputes.
We recent, go forward in earnest, until
organization is thorough and complete in
every School District.
See to it that every Democrat and Con
servative voter is registered !
Complete the Poll Lists at the earli
tst possible moment !
And be ready on election day .to have
every opponent of the Disunion Radical
Party at the polls !
These things accomplished, -and victory
will surely crown our efforts! — Albany Ar

Constitutional Alliance. —The fol
lowing is from the Richmond Examiner of
a late date:
An alliance or compact has been formed
by large numbers of political parties in
New York, under the above name—the
term constitutional implying devotion and
obedience to the Constitution of the United
States without alteration or amendment;
the word alliance meaning a Union or
league between political parties who may
unite under the restoration policy of Presi
dent Johnson. The constitution of the
“Alliance” is read to each applicant after
taking the following oath, from which the
general meaning of the organization may
be inferred—the oath must be taken by
members over two crossed swords:
“ I solemnly swear in the presence of a
just God, to preserve, uphold, protect and
defend the Constitution of the United
States, the constitutional and rightful ex
ponents of the law. I also solemnly swear
that I will, when called upon by the lawful
Arcs of the Octagons, respond to and
obey the commands of the Lines of
the Triangles, and will peril life,
suffer imprisonment, loss of property, and
every discomfort,, to preserve liberty and
justice, and to uphold and defend the Con
stitution of the United States, the Presi
dent of the United States, and the consti
tutional and rightful exponents of the
law.
Although scarcely a week has elapsed
since the above plan of organization was
perfected, yet already three organizations
are in existence in New York. Letters
have been addressed to conspicuous poli
ticians in various parts of New York and
other States, detailing the proposed plan of
organization, and this correspondence re
sulted in the formation of two “Alliances,”
one in Iroy and the other in Buffalo, and
from the enthusiasm which the movement
has been hailed, we infer that it is very
likely soon to extend throughout the United
States.
New York, Oct. 4 —A Herald's
<Jrleaus special says: A huge
swindle of the government to the amount
of about half a million of dollars has been
discovered by a United States detective.
Ih_e party implicated is J. Lowenthal, of
2U7 Pennsylvania avenue, Washington,
who is a claim agent there, and who left
here yesterday to avoid arrest. It ap
pears, as claim agent in Washington, he
was in the habit of getting from C.Dibbs,
-Y’tary Public of this city, blank sworn
affidavits to certain amounts of back pay
and bounty. Lowenthal filled them up by
forging the names of discharged soldiers,
and by endorsing them, got checks for the
amount from paymaster A. D. Robinson
arid others, of Washington. One of the
detectives was present and saw him forge
several of these documents, and a warrant
was issued yesterday by Judge Augustine,
out Lowenthal had left for Washington,
earning with him about twenty checks of
from one hundred to three hundred dollars,
it is asserted that a large number of pay
masters and citizens are partners of
Towenthal in the swindle, which amounts
to about half a million dollars.
Circuit Court at Abbeville. S. C.—
peaking of the Fall Circuits in that State,
: * i Greenville (S. C.) Enterprise says :
At Abbeville, last week, several State
rases were tried. A youth, who hails from
Georgia, was tried for horse stealing and
acquitted, after a very interesting arid ex
citing trial. He was ably defended bv
Gen. McGowan and W. P. Price, Esq.
and prosecuted by Solicitor Reed with his
wonted zeal and ability. The prisoner was
put on the stand by his counsel to testify
m his own behalf under the new law, and
underwent a most searching cross-examina
tion by the Solicitor. We understand that
the manner in which he stood the ordeal
contributed to establish his innocence.
At Anderson, this week, several cases
for horse stealing and some for murder are
before the Court for trial. Judge Munroe
presides on this Circuit. Negroes were
sworn before the Grand Jury for the first
time at Anderson, and of course will testify
on the trial. A negro is before the Court
for murder. He has made a full confession,
it is pid, and the probability is he will be
convicted and sentenced accordingly. ’ ’
