When the leave* arc turning Brown
BY MRS. ELIZABETH AKERS.
Never u my heart so gav,
In the budding month of May,
Nover does it beat a I une
Half so sweet in blooming June.
Never knows such happiness
As on such a day as tliis,
When October dons her crown,
And the leaves are turning brown.
Breathe, sweet children, soft regrets,
For the vanished violets ;
Sing, you lovers, the delight.
Os the golden summer hours.
Never in the summer hours
On my way sueh radium* showers
As from heaven falls softly down,
When the leaves are turning brown.
Braid your girdle, fresh and gay.
Children in the bloom of May;
Twist your chaplets in young June,
Maidens —they will fade full soon;
Twine ripe roses July—red,
Lovers, lor the dear one's head;
I will weave my richer crown
When the leaves are turning brown.
FROM MEXICO.
Reported Defeat of the Liberals.
Brownsville advices of the 10th report a
severe battle near Satillo, and the defeat of
the |/,!., i im Ler Marangoand Mai tines.
This voctorv places Satillo in the hands of
the Imperialists, who are daily expected
in Monterey. Jaur-z is still in Chihuahua,
not having' gone to .Monterey. There is no
truth in the report that Mejia had attacked
Monterey, a -all is quiet in that city, and
ksoohado still remains there. Trevino has
gone towards San Jiouis Potosi with 2,000
men to look after Mejia, who Is reported
to beat Matalula, which olace Ls entirely
surrounded by the Liliera!.. Japia is e/i
route to Matamoras with 1,000 men.
A long dispatch has been recently re
ceived from Napoleon, which had the ef
fect of halting some French troops that
were about embarking, and others were
ordered to prepare for active service.
The confidence in Canales’ ability to hold
Matamoras was increasing. His force is
said to be 1,500 strong, most of whom were
boys. It was reported, on good authority,
that Juarez had ordered the arrest of
Canale:-; and Ponaja.-o.and that they be tried
by court-martial. It was reported that he
had also ordered the arrest oi Oaravajal for
granting such terms to Mejia and the peo
ple of Matamoras. Nothing has been
heard from Cortinas.

Tlie Judicial Bowers of the Freedman’s
Bureau Declared Null.
The Louisville Courier of the 24th inst.
report.s the following ease;
“The ease of Smith vs. Reed, was dis
posed of in the United States Circuit Court
yesterday, ami the action of the “Bureau
crats’ in connection therewith, may l« re
garded as a concession on their part of the
illegality of their would be courts. The
ease was one involving the legality of the
judicial powers claimed by the bureau
agents under the Freodmen’s Bureau act.
“Captain Reed, as agent of the Bureau
at Cynthiana, rendered a judgment for sev
enty five dollars against Jonathan Smith,
and issued an execution to enforce the
judgment. His ‘officers' found Smith
hauling wood with two horses; which were
all he had, and took them from him by
virtue of and in satisfaction of Captain
Reed's ‘execution.’ Smith brought suit
against lteed and others in the Harrison
county Circuit Court, and recovered pos
session of the horses by a writ of replevin,
after they had been gone about two days.
Captain lteed by petition, removed the
ease into the United States Circuit Court,
to try the legality of his judgement and
the validity of his process as superintend
dent.
“Yesterdaythe distinguished attorney,
Hon. M. C. Johnson, of Lexington, ap
peared to prosecute Smith s suit in the
United States Court, but Captain Heed
had received so little encouragement from
the loyal fraternity that he attempted no
defence whatever. Judgement was ren
dered against him for the liorses, and dam
ages ami costs.
This default may be considered as a con
fession by the freedmen s Bureau that the
attempt of the Bureuu act to confer judi
cial power upon its agent was nugatory,
and that the assumption and exercise, by
those military judges, of the power to de
cide eoutroverses concerning negroes, etc.,
was a pure usurpation.
Tho Freedmens Bureau in other States
has exercised like jurisdiction with that in
Kentucky, and judgments were rendered
aud collected. If such proceedings were
violative of law'm Kentueky, they must
be equally so elsewhere.
If we are not mistaken, the people of
Augusta were .made to bleed pretty severe
ly before certain functionaries of bureau
justice, a little over a year ago, before Gen.
Tillson took charge. If damages and costs
Lave been adjudged against such officials
iu Kentucky, may not those who grew fat
in such spoils iu Georgia bo made to dis
gorge.
Furning of the Steamer TUeo. S. Wag
ner.
The Baltimore .! ,!i; /'coji gives the fol
lowing particulars of the burning of the
steamer Theodore S. H'lL/ntr, which oc
curred about To miles off Cape Henry :
The steamer sailed from Boston about
6} o’clock on Thursday morning. During
the voyage the weather was uniformly
pleasant. The days were quite warm, the
nights cool, but not unpleasantly so. The
vessel traveled at a fast rate, as the sea
was calm and smooth. About 5} o’clock
on iSaturday evening there arose an ala r m
of tire. The tire was discovered to have
proceeded from around the smokestack ;
all hands were immediately employed to
entinguish the flames. Thev made rapid
progress, however, and all efforts to subdue
them were useless. The engine room was
enveloped in, flames. The pumps were
put into requisition, and all possible things
were done to put out the tire. The Captain
at length reluctantly announced the ship
must be abandoned.
The efforts ot the crew were nobly sec
onded by the passengers, who worked
with might and mam. The men did well.
'J he ladies, however, particularly distin
guished themselves. The title of weaker
sex was belied. I u some, the flesh was
weak, but in all the spirit was strong! -
They emulated the men in working for the
common safety.
The flames were advancing, threatening
destruction everywhere. Discouragement
was taking possession ot all, when two
vessels appeared in sight—the brig IV
locity and the schooner Enoch Pratt. The
engines of the were still moving,
so the engineer managed to get near the
vessels before they stopped. The lady
passengers were then passed on board the
brig. One more effort was made at the
pumps of the doomed vessel, but about 2
o'clock on Sunday mcruing the task was
given up. The men then went on board
the schooner, and about ooe’ock A. M.
the Wag nor sank beneath the waves. Ou
Monday morning Captain Babson and en
gineer Wyman of the lost ship arrived in
this city.
FROM WASHINGTON’.
Our Claims against England -The Mexi
can (lueslioa— Withdrawal of French
Troops.
New York, Oct 24.—-The times’ Wash- 1
ington special says, in regard to our affairs
with England, pro wine out of the depre- ;
dations, during the war. of the privateers
Alabama and Shenandoah : Mr. Adams,
our Minister to the Court of St. James,
was some time since instructed to make a
peremptory demand for indemnity for the
loss sustained by our commercial interest.
To tliis demand, Mr. Adams received an
I evasive reply. He was at once instructed
to repeat the demand. He did so, hot no
definite r-qwasc has vet been received;
but the tone of the English newspapers
, c-d. indie ites that these renew
ed and persistent demands have not been
without effect. Tin British government
i is now putting out feelers in their van us
' organ?. .-bowing their disposition in the
matter From the eit appears that they
| are willing to submit the claims to arbiira
i tion, or to a board of national cornmis
i sioners. Our government will accept no
arrangement of this sort, but will insist on
a prompt and full payment of the claims.
This is our ultimatum as contained in the
instructions under which Mr. Adams i.s
now acting. j
The Times, Washington special says the
attitude of this country to Mexico and the
condition of affairs in that country as pre
viously communicated to you is fully con- .
firmed. The French government has a.-k- j
ed for a delay of time for the withdrawal
of the first installment of their troops un
til the Ist of January, with the promise if
this time is granted it will reduce the time <
allowed for the removal of the remaining '
detachments and remove all subsequently j
at one time. To this our government has '
not a-.-ented, but insists that the withdraw
al should commence at once and proceed as
previously arranged. Incuse of anarchy,
our government will sustain the Juarez
government, and in consideration of ser
vice rendered, lower California and the
northern portion of Sonora and Chihuahua
will be ceded to the United States. It is
no part of the agreement yet made that
the United States i.s to guarantee the
claims of France against Mexico, although
such a course may appear expedient and
I proper, in which case the government of
I this country will not hesitate to take the
responsibility. The main point sought Ls
j to enforce the Monroe doctrine by remov
ing European intervention from Mexican
affairs and guaranteeing to that country a
republican form of government. The re
sponsibility of this undertaking has been
fully di.scuss.ed by the Cabinet and the de
, ci.-ion has been unanimously received, that
the time has conic for action, indicated in ;
tin! proceedings above foreshadowed.—
These proceedings have now taken a differ
j ent form and shape and have entered so
far iuto prosecution as to be beyond recall.
RAILROAD CONVENTION.
Interesting Proceedings of a Ilailrord
Convention In New York.
New York, October 24. —The National
Railroad Convention, composed of dele
gates from the great lines of the country,
commenced its sittings at the St. Nicholas
Hotel. The object of the meeting of the
convention is to consider the proposed
movement to establish a uniform system of
signals and regulations and advance the
gen :ral interest of the organization. About
fifty gentlemen, representing all leading
lin js in the United States are present.
The assemblage includes the presidents,
directors, superintendents and engineers of
the various roads. An aggregate capital
of one hundred million dollars and three
thousand miles of road were represented.
The following resolution was unanimous
ly adopted :
Resolved, That the general object of this
convention is tho improvement of railroad
construction and their maintenance and
management, and that no action should be
taken tending to violate the railroad inte
rest, or place it in a position antagonistic
to other interests, and that no subject
should be introduced involving political or
similar exciting subjects.
The attention of the convention was cal
led to the vast extent of country through
which the lines represented passed, and
it was suggested that a general railroad
bureau Ire established, in which scientific
men and able engineers should be em
ployed.
The subject was referred to a committee
! of five, and tho convention adjourned till
to morrow.
The Negroes in Nashville.— The
| freedmen of Nashville held a meeting a
! few days ago, to give expression to their
regret that a rumor of an intended out
break by tlicm had been circulated. A
j statement expressive of kindness toward
I the whites, and of confidence in the city
j authorities was drawn up by a committee
I of colored men, adopted,
i It is as follows:
Whereas, The so reported outbreak of
| the colored citizens of Nashville has been
thoroughly examined by us, as the old eiti
| zens of this place, and we find there is no
foundation for such a report of our actions,
and we denounce the exaggerarion as a
wicked attempt to enthrall us with blood
shed and suffering. Knowing the inten
tions in all public measures, of our people,
we can speak truthfully and say there has
been no devised arrangement; but we feel
that we have been injured by the report
j gaining circulation that letters have been
read in our churches of an incendiary char
; acter, which is also untrue. And we do
j hereby express our unreserved thanks to
| the Hon. W. Matt. Brown, tho city au-
I thorities and Secretary Fletcher, for so
! promptly informing us of those rumors, so
| that we could have ascertained their foutr
j dation, if any bad existed, and to the City
j Attorney, Thomas Smiley, Esq.
\V e can reliably commend the integrity
and interest of the colored citizens of Nash
ville, as materially allied with the white
citizens in everything to advance their
i general welfare and prosperity.
All of which is respectfully submitted by
your committee. Nelson Walker,

Why Masons Celebrate the 24th of
i June —St. John’s Day. —Masonic lodges
! in ancient time were dedicated to King
| Solomon. Tradition informs us that they
were thus dedicated from the building
of the first temple at Jerusalem, to the
; Babylonish eaptivity. • From that time to
| the coming of the Messiah, they were ded
-1 icated to Zerabtmbel the builder of the
second temple; and from that to the final
destruction of the temple by Titus in the
reign of the Emperor Vespasian, they were
dedicated to St. John the Baptist.
Owing to the many massacres and disor
ders which attended that memorable event,
Freemasonry fell very much into decay.
Many of the lodges were broken up, and
but few could meet with sufficient members
!to constitute the if legality. Under these
\ circumstances a general meeting of the craft
j was held in the city of Benjamin, when it
was observed that the principal reason for
the decline of Masonry was the want of a
j Grand Master to direct its affairs. They,
therefore, deputed seven of their most
i eminent members to wait upon St. John,
tlie Evangisii*i, \. ho was at that time Bish
op of Ephesus, to request him to take the
office of Grand Master, lie returned for
answer that, though weli stricken in j,cars
(being upwards of ninety,') yet having been
iu the early part of his life initiated into
Masonry, im would take upon himself that
| office. He did so, ami completed by his
leafniiu what Sr. joho tho Paptist had
accomplished by bis zeal. After |;;s de
-1 cease the Christian Lodges were dedicate J
1 to him and St. John tho B aptist, both of
them being regarded as eminent Christian
l patrons of Masonry. Since then Masons
have ever celebrated the -4th of June in
. mni nos St. John the Baptist,
and the 27th of December in commemora
tion of St. John the Evangelist. —Flag of

she Austrian people are the French

is a cold, rainy city, upon a sandy plain,

Tlie Dying Summer.
Dying Summer's gently gliding
Into Winter's frigid grave;
While tho falling leaves are hiding
Beauties that around her wave!
Rich anil gorgeous i.s the pillow,
XVl l ere she lays her dying head,
’Midst tlie gold-fruit, ripe and yellow,
And the flowers blue and red.
Happy Summer, bright and airy,
Brilliant, transient—linger still;
With thee, life and fay and fairy
Vanish all from mount and rill!
Roses sweet with dew-drops weeping,
Woo tiiee lovingly to stay;
Stillv stream* anil cascades leaping,
Bid thee not in haste away.
Laughing hours of sunny gladness,
Fall winds still will blow away ;
Leaving leaves to sigli in sadness,
As they wither day by day.
XVhile the sultry Autumn's breathing.
Perfume from each ilewy flower,
Summer's band is gently wreathing
Garlands for her parting hour.
Youthful June and July glories,
With their beauties, pass away:
Serve but as a memento morn, s
Os all the pleasures bright and gay.
[Quc’jt: Chronicle.
Baden Baden.
We rest a night at Stuttgart, and find
ourselves next morning, after a few hours
travel, out of Wurtemburg and passing
through Uarlsruhe. the capital of the
Grand Duchy of Baden. We do not stop
here, being informed that Uarlsruhe is a
diminished Stuttgart, just as Stuttgart is a
dimished Munich. The Duchy of Baden
is so narrow a strip of territory, that, in
some places, a rifle cannon might probably
shoot across it. Yet the Duke is a mighty
personage. His title is, no doubt, as long 1
as the Tenth Commandment, and I should
think might be regarded as an instructive
commentary on it.
We were on our way to “ the most i
fashionable lounge in Europe,” having the
curiosity, just to see, in passing, what such ;
a lounge might be. Uarlsruhe is in the
midst of the flat valley of the Rhine. This
valley is bordered, at no great distance, by |
the hills of the Black Forest.
To reach Baden Baden, we go south
ward from Uarlsruhe, on the Strasbourg |
road, through the valley, until, after a
little, we reach a brand; road, which takes j
off directly toward the Biaek Forest, and 1
which penetrates the Forest a_ short dis- !
tance by a very pretty valley. The town is
on both slopes of this valley, the beauti
ful stream, called the Oos, flowing through ■
its eenter.
And certainly the loveliness of the situa
tion of this town cannot be too highly
praised. Nor would it he easy to coueeive
of more charming walks and drives, than
those up the valley and through the som
bre shades of the Black Forest evergreens.
As to the great appurtenances of the place
—its hotels and bazaars, and drink halls,
and conversation houses, they are as grand j
and elegant as possible; while the com- j
pany, made up chiefly of the wealthy and i
the noble from every civilized country on
the globe, show great elegance of style and
manners, without much of the ostentation
or bustle of mere fashion.
We spent an afternoon in visiting the
most notable curiosities. In the evening
our landlord gave us tickets to a concert,
where we heard the music of Mozart and
ofMendelssohn beautifullyrendered. And
next morning, before leaving, we tasted
the saline, cliieken-broth water, and listen
ed to tho music of the band which greets the
morning drinkers and promenaders—with
a view perhaps of diverting their atten
tion from the disagreeable regime of so
many glasses of the brotliy beverage.
But what interested me at Baden Baden
above everything else, was a grand
exhibition of asses,
which is held there through the watering
j season.
I desire most distinctly to inform the
readers of this letter, that the biggest spe
cimens of the long-qgred animal I ever saw,
having the best developed ears withal,
and the most melodius bray, were and are
exhibited at Baden Baden. Nobody can
enter the Conversation House, the place
of general resort, without seeing them ;
for there they arc, in full view, all day
long, and far into night, sitting or standing
around a roulette table, at one end of the
hall. If, passing this table, you go into an
adjoining room, you will seeas many more,
at each of two tables, playing at “rouge et
noir.”
The Bible characterizes all sin as folly,
I and the sinner as pre-eminently a fool ; yet'
the folly ot those who gamble at these
roulette tables almost surpasses the folly
j of sin. It seems like insanity. The game is
| known to be so constructed that thechances
I are vastly in favor of the bank ;_ and it is
| generally believed that the winning chances
! for the player are evenly distributed over
| the table—no number that can be chosen
j having any advantage over any other. Yet,
| with the odds all against them, and utterly
i withoutknowlcdgeofany sceretofsuccess—
there being no secret about it, hundreds
every day, of' tho old and the young, of the
rich and the poor, of males and females,
stand round those tables, and venture and
lose, under the stimulus of a paltry gain
now and then secured, and the bare hope
of great gain to be secured at some time or
other.
Bad as all gambling is—striking as it
does at the foundation of society, in its
direct violation of the great law of property
and its violation of the law of labor and
its reward —there yet seem to be degrees
in the folly of gambling. Where a man’s
wits, or even his muscles, may help his
venture, the gambling does not seem so
utter and conspicuous a folly, as where his
venture is wholly at the mercy of chance,
anil the chances are known to be strong
against him.
The Grand Duke of Baden lets the
privilege of keeping these gambling tables
for a great sum of money. Nevertheless,
for some reason, be has resolved that after
I 1867 the business shall end.
COM MUNICAT El>.
City Tax on Cotton.
Mr. Editor : In your issue of the 28th a
communication appears over tho signature
of “Another Citizen,” who seems greatly
exercised with cotton factors for declining
to assume a tax imposed on producers or
: owners of cotton by the City Council of
Augusta.
His ignorance of the subject upon which
he writes allows him to say that “if he mis
takes not, this is all tho taxes pajd to the
City, State or Government by our cotton
factors. Ijet them therefore open a tax
account and place it where it justly be
longs, without saddling it on their custom
ers.” Now whether his communication
was intended merely for effect—regardless
of facts, or whether fie was really ignorant
of the law, it would be difficult for any one,
except the author, to determine ; but in ;
either event, it is better calculated to de
ceive than to enlighten the public.
Cotton factors are taxed hy the Govern
ment twenty dollars for a license to do
business ; also one-eighth of one per cent,
on their gross sales, and live per cent, on
all their income over six hundred dollars.
By the State they are taxed according to
the value of their property as all other
citizens are. By the City Council of Au
gusta they are taxed, First, for a license to
do business. Secondly, three per cent, on
tile if commissions and one-fourth of one
per cent. Ofl their gross sales ; the latter to
be charged to ti;e owner of the cotton, and
the factor required to’collect and pay the
same to the eitv Treasurer quarterly.
lfthere is anything wrong in the unwise
policy of Council in imposing a tax on
1 cotton seeking this market, the author of
“Another Citizen” might employ his talent
more profitably hy turning his battery
upon the authors of the law, and urge its
repeal.
By a system of liberal legislation hereto- i
fore adopted, Augusta has succeeded in
establishing herself a formidable competi- j
tor with Charleston aud Savannah, for thq. i
great staple cotton, and to maintain the
ad> afltagos already secured should be the
p.eeuiiari object of those into whose hands j
her interests have been entrusted. This,
however, .cannot be done by the inaugura- ;
tion of what, under any circumstances,
could be construed as unfriendly leffisla
tion. To provide for the support ot the j
city bv taxation, is a duty incumbent on
the City Council, but in performing this
duty, snob just discriminations should be
made, as may be necessary to protect her
conju.'-i' iul interests. The writer of this
has been permitted to examine a tariff of
charges in .Savannah ;«;;d Charleston, and
those schedules show that jn Savannah
cotton factors are taxed one eighth of one
per cent, on their gross sales. In Charles
ton they are taxed two-aud-a-half per cent,
op their commissions. In Augusta they
are taxed three per cent, on their commis
sions, and owe -fourth of one per cent, on
gross sales, the latter tff be charged to the
owner of the cotton. , ,
Xow if the tariff of charges above alluded
to are correct, Augusta receives a revenue
from that class of her merchants of one
eighth of ope per cent, on gross sales ot
cotton, aud three percent, on commissions
more than Savannah receives, and one-halt
per cent, on commissions, and one-fourth
of one per cent, on the gross saies more
than is received by Charleston.
Council was, no doubt, actuated by an
honest conviction of justice, in inaugura
ting this new tax on producers. But it has
already diverted thousands of bales to
Other markets, to which it is invited by ;
lltsLiffi legislation, and many thousand
more nr*y follow. Hence, the question
naturally presents itself as to whether or
not the interest of the city will not be more
materially injured by the diversion of this
trade than the revenue expected to have
been derived, would be worth.
It is hoped that Council upon mature
consideration will invite their old custom
ers to return, by repealing the tax on the
gross sales of cotton. Augusta.

The Fenian Trials in Canada—Colonel
Lynch Condemned to be Hong—The
Prisoner’s Speech—The _ Judge's Ad
dress.
It was stated in our telegraphic dis
paethes yesterday that Colonel Lynch, a
Fenian prisoner on trial at Toronto, was,
on Thursday, found guilty and condemned
to be hung on the 13th of December. Tlie
court-room on Thursday was densely
crowded. The evidence for the defence
commenced by bringing up several Fenian
prisoners to prove that Lynch was at Fort
Erie in the capacity of a reporter for a
Louisville paper, ami that, as far as they
knew, he had no military connection with
the Fenians. They stated that they saw
him at Fort Erie with paper and pencil,
taking notes and having arms.
The defence also endeavored to prove a
case of mistaken identity; that it was Gen.
O Neil, not Lynch, that the Crown wit
ness saw at Fort Erie armed with a sword.
Lynch somewhat resembles O’Neil, and i
was dressed in a similar manner.
The mother of John Ryan, who turned
Queen’s evidence, was put in the witness
j box, and gave her son a very bad eharac-
I ter. She said she would not believe him
j under oath.
Mr. Martin, the defendant’s counsel,
j then made an able speech in their behalf.
Solicitor Cockburn replied, reviewing
the evidence for the defence. He said the
evidence must convict the prisoner, and
altough a witness believed the prisoner to
,be an twspaper correspondent, not a par
ticle of evidence was adduced to show that
such was the case. The proprietor of the
paper had not been summoned.
| The Judge then charged the jury, who
j retired for about an hour, and brought in
a verdict of guilty.
T he Riisouer’s Speech.
! After thejury had rendered their ver
| diet. Colonel Lynch, in reply to the ques
tion of the Judge, whether he had any
i thing to say why the sentence of the Court
j should not be passed on him, answered, in
a very clear tone, as follows:
Well, ray Lord, you must be aware, you
must have noticed the inconvenience and
disadvantage my counsel labored under in
not being able to bring the evidence of
those who could have proven clearly that I
had no connection with the Fenian raid. I
state now that I had neither hand, act, nor
part in the late invasion, and that I came
to Canada not in the capacity in which it
has been represented. I came simply as
the correspondent of a public journal, and
in so doing 1 was not aware that I violated
either the laws of Canada or those of my
adopted country. I was not aware there
could be any objection to a reporter follow*
ing the army and chronicling the incidents.
Had 1 known this I would have been care
ful to have remained on the other side.
With regard to the manner in which the
Crown has conducted the prosecution in
my case, I think I must confess that I have
been very fairly dealt with both by the
Crown and the Solicitor General, and Mr.
Cameron has carri.od on the prosecution in
the most fair and impartial manner, and I
feel that it is but right in me to make this
statement.
His Lordship. The object in asking
you to address the court was to give you an
opportunity of using any legal objections,
if you had any. It is too late now to dis
cuss the facts of the case.
Prisoner. Well, my Lord, you must he
aware with regard to legal objections that
I am not cognizant enough of law to make
any. I only know that 1 am innocent of
the crime laid to my charge, and I hero
pledge myself before that God in whose
presence 1 must appear some day, that I
am wholly innocent of the crime for which
I was brought here, and that I never saw
Stevens till I was arrested and brought
into his very house on the 2d of J une. On
that occasion 1 saw him when placed in his
house for a short time previous to being
brought up to the Court house.
The prisoner then sat down, but imme
diately got up, when the crier made the
usual proclamation prior to passing the
sentence of death.
The .Judge’s Address to the Prisoner.
! Ilis Lordship then addressed the prison
| er, and during the delivery of tlie address
his voice was quite feeble: lam very sorry
to find a man of your age and experience
j stand where you do to-day. You are a
man who must have seen a good deal of
the world; a man not without education
and intelligence. The evidence brought
before the court is perfectly clear and cou
j elusive that you were not in Canada as a
j reporter on the occasion charged in tho in
! dietnient, but that you were arrested and in
j some kind of command. What that was does
not distinctly appear ; but even though
you were there only as a reporter, you
ought to have known that no war had
been proclaimed, that those with whom
you were seen were making an atrocious,
almost unparalled inroad on a peaceful
country, and that under the circumstances
you were there to report the ravages of
those men, in order that they might glut
and glory over the slain. With a single
word could have influenced the case to
1 your prejudice, I have carefully abstained
j from saying anything against you ; but
i now it does r.ot lie in me to extenuate
your faults. You professed with them to
: redress tho grievances of centuries, to
I right the wrongs of an oppressed people,
and to remove the iron heel which you say
the Saxon put on the Celt centuries ago,
and yet you begin by inflicting on us the
very injuries of which you complain. \\ hy
should your iron tread be forced on us ?
Why should our homes bo desolated and
our young men be slain by you ? Will
any man of sense answer these plain
questions? Was it less than murder for
you to come here in the dead of night to
ravage our country and slay our people ?
And all this was done under cover of re
lieving Ireland. Could any right you may
have authorize you to commit such a
wrong as you then perpetrated ! This is
putting your case in a very plain and clear
light. You stand there surrounded by the
friends and relatives of tlie men you saw on
that occasion. If you were there as a re
porter, even you were not guiltless. Your
object was to encourage them to come, not
to keep them away. Looking at your con
duct in that light, you cannot be surprised
that the law should be enforced, ana that
you should suffer the death penalty of the
law, as I very much fear you will; for how
could we permit the young, reckless, and
unthinking men to be brought here for trial
who followed such as you, and placed con
fidence in you, if you were to be allowed to
escape? Could you see any justice in
punishing them in such a case ? \ T ou com
plain unjustly that those who were in com
mand on that occasion were not allowed to
come here to give evidence in your behalf;
but I cannot prevent the law ; the Crown
cannot override it. If the Crown had
! given any such pledge of safe conduct as
you have spoken of, it would not be carried
out. You have had all the justice you
could possibly get, and have had every ad
vantage of the forms of law. Every one
abstained from urging too hard against
you'that which might have been urged;
but I would fail in my duty now if I did
not put your case in its true light when
about to sentence you to appear be
fore that Judge who sees things just as
they are. It is a very painful thing—the
most painful which a man can be called on to
do- to doom a fellow man-to death ;, but
the requirements of society urge it upon
me ; the law requires I should not shrink
from it. If I could I would. As the law
flow stands you might be sentenced to im
mediate execution. The law puts that dis
cretion iu my hands ; butinasmuch as that
law is an ex post, facto one as to you, I shall
certainly not exercise any discretion I may
have to shorten your existence one hour.
Moreover, you have a right to bring into
court the whole case to appeal from the
decision of a court adverse to you, if there
was anything wrong in the evidence and
the proceedings, and God forbid I should
deprive you of that opportunity of appeal.
You shall be treated just as the law was
when you committed the offence, so that if
the evidence does not, in the opinion of my
learned brethren, sustain the conviction,
tiuie and opportunity will be given you to
move against if. Jf I have received evi
dence such as ought not to have been re
ceived, or have put a wrong construction
on any part of it, it will be open for
you to make a complaint to that ef
fect, and the period for your ex
ecution will be de'ayed till the end of
the next term just as if that law had not
been passed, so as to afford you an oppor
tunity of appeal. It now only remains for
me to pronounce the dreaded sentence of
the law. Yours is an offence punishable
with death. I can exercise no discretion.
The sentence of the court on you therefore
is, that you be taken to the place from
whence you came, to he there detained
till Thursday, the 13th day of December
n6ck, and to be taken on that day to the
place of execution and there hanged by the
next until you are dead, and may God
have mercy ou your soul.
During the latter part of the address his
Lordship was very much affected. His
voice was so choked that it was some
minutes before he was enabled to pass sen
tence on the prisoner. During the delivery
of the address the vast audience was as
still as death throughout the court-room.
The trial of Lamsden, the chaplain of
the expedition, was to commence yester
day. _
Our Mexican Policy.— A Washing
ton dispatch denies the report ofa recent
meeting between tlie President, Gen.
Gram and Secretary Seward, at which, as
is alleged, they determined to recommend
as a measure of the Administration that
we should pay the French claims in Mexi
co and receive Mexican territory in ex
change, probably in the neighborhood of
Guaymas. There was no meeting of these
three gentlemen on the day named, nor
did they at any other time deliberate on
that subject. But it is stated that official
documents in re.ation to the Mexican
business will probably be published within
a day or two, showing that so far as the
Administration is concerned a definite solu
tion of the question has been reached, and
an extension of our sauthern boundary se
cured.

f From tlie Memphis Avalanche-1
Lines to Ex-President Jefterson Davis.
BY MISS MARY A. M’INTOSH.
I love the man who nobly bears
Misfortune’s crushing blow;
I love the heart, caltn, strong and high,
Though fondest hopes lie low.
I love tho man who scorns to bend,
Though hellish blasts ofhate
Sweep wildly, fiercely, o’er bis head,
And darkly seems his fate.
Who calmly looks, and quaileth not,
At human power and might;
But bravely says, amid the storm,
“ My country, thou wert right!”
I love the man who proudly spurns
A heritage of shame,
Which brands upon each Southern brow
The traitor’s iep’rous name.
I prize that fortitude sublime,
Xo adverse fate can shake;
I prize that strength of soul refined,
Xo earthly power can break.
I love the soul, so pure, so grand,
That, scanning actions past,
Doth trust in God and Southern hearts
For his reward at last.
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 24,18G6.
CARLOTTA.
The Nature of Her Insanity.
The report of the insanity of the Arch
Duchess Carlotta, of Mexico, seems to be
confirmed by the latest news from Europe.
She is at Miramar.
A correspondent writes that during her
frequent interviews with the Pope, she
has given evidence of an exalted mysticism
and feverish piety. She has repeatedly
thrown herself at the feet of Pius the IX,
and implored his protection against the
snares with which she befteved herself
surrounded. In short, the character of her
insanity is to believe herself continually
surrounded by enemies and traitors. She
scarcely dares to touch any food which is
offered her, as she imagines that even the
persons of her suite desire to poison her.
Her medical attendants still hope that re
pose and care will restore her reason.
A letter from Rome in the Gazette du
Midi, gives some further details respecting
the Princess Carlotta. After stating that
in a first interview with the Sovereign
rontiff, the Princess discussed with great
earnestness the question of a coneordate,
with Mexico, and insisted with much per
tinacity on obtaining from tho holy father,
concessions which he deemed advisable,
the letter says the Empress would not
yield to the arguments supremely wise and
equitable with which tho holy father met
her demands. She would continue dis
puting with him. and persisted with an
incredible obstancy. In short, the rup
ture between the holy father and Mexico,
in spite of all the ability and tenacity of
purpose displayed by the Empress, is not
healed.
She, however, is not so deserving of
blame as might appear. All that was ir
regular and eccentric in her conduct tojj
wards the holy father must be attributed to
the nervous excitement from which she
has suffered so long, and which frequently
disturbs her reason. She went at last,
one morning at nine o’clock, to the Pope,
without any previous announcement. She
declared to him that she was object of
an atrocious persecution, that there were
designs on her life, that an attempt had
been made to poison her at the Hotel Do
Rome, that she didn’t believe herself safe,
and could not dine there. Tho holy father
received her with paternal kindness, tran
quilized and re-assured her and ordered that
dinner should be served for her in the libra
ry of the Vatican, where she passed the
rest of the day.
In the evening an attempt was made to
get her to return to the hotel, but she re
fused, constantly repeating that she was
followed by assassins, and that she believed
herself safe nowhere except in the Vatican.
Her mind then again wandered, and she
even objected to swallow a glass of water,
fearing danger.
The Pope then ordered an apartment to
be prepared for her in his palaee where she
passed the night, and the following dayshe
was still there, not being willing to quit the
Vatican, imagining that she saw murder
ers everywhere ready to take her life.
Several _ foreign ladies were invited to
pass the night with her, as she sent away
the ladies ot honor, who she would not al
low to come near her. The paroxysm of
aberration appears to have boon deter
mined by dispatches received that morn
ing.
Death of Harry Grimsliaw, the Jockey.
The following are the particulars of the ac
cident whereby Henry Grimshaw met his
death near Cambridge on Wednesday
night:
It would appear that after riding Atalan
to, the winner ot the Harleston Nursery
Handicap at Northampton, Grimshaw pro
ceeded by train to Cambridge on his way
home to Kentford House, near Newmarket,
where he resided. At Cambridge his servant,
Richard Nicholson, met him by appoint
ment, with his horse and trap, (a dog cart.)
On arrival at Cambridge the deceased took
supper at the house of a friend, and then
proceeded to Mr. Saunder’s, at the Eagle
Hotel, and where the servant and the
vehicle put up. He was asked to stop all
night, as he had an engagement at Bed
ford, but he insisted on going home, and
finally started with his servant for that
purpose. He was driving a horse called
Titmouse, a thoroughbred, formerly the
property of Mr. George Payne, and now
about seven yeara old. This horse ran in
the Craven meeting at Newmarket in 1863,
and also in the Handicap Plate, at Leam
ington, in the same year. The horse had
been in deceased’s possession some length
of time, hut was only broken to harness in
July last. Titmouse is a High
animal, and as it was known that the de
ceased’s vision was a _ little defective, he
was advised to allow his servant to drive,
but refused, and at the start Grimshaw had
the reins. All would appear to have gone
well until nearing Paper Mill gate, little
more than a mile from the starting point.
Here a lane on the left leads towards l)it"
ton, and it would seem that the horse jib-

It is stated that the Empress Carlotta
will remain sometime in the Eternal City,
aud will then proceed to Yienna. where!
it is said, a reconciliation between herself
and her brother, Leopold, 1.. take
place.
Japan advices to the J 2th. have been
received. Rumors were afloat that the
Tycoon had died at Yeddo. His successor
is said to be a man of great energy of
character, and in favor of foreign Inter

The State Department has received an
important treaty from Japan of vast com

trade with that country than we now en
joy, and is otherwise beneficial to com

and will be laid before the Senate in secret
session for ratification.

A Flee Place to Live.
The Selma (Alabama) Messenger says: 1
“A gentleman who had some experience in
stopping over at Meridian during the war, i
and whose business called him to Mississip- |
pi, was expatiating to Genera! Johnson up- i
on the discomfort of an apprehended stop- j
page there. ‘Oh,’ replied the General,
'Meridian has improved. The hotel has
been burnt down.’ Upon this text a writer
in another journal descants asfollows :
“Who that ever traveled during the
war through Meridian does not remember
the hotel ? The rush of travelers from the
cars to the door would be met by the gen
tlemanly proprietor with‘Walk in gentle
men, walk in. ' ‘GiVe me a private room,’
would be the demand by fifty speculators
and commissaries with stuffed carpet-bags,
who were distrustful of neighbors. ‘Cer
tainly’ would be the invariable reply, and
No. 40 would be cheeked on the bag
gage. At night such a scene, when all the
proprietors of private apartments would
meet together in the garret, which was
No. 40. There was,very good feed at
that hotel, at least the insects" thought so,
for they assembled from every quarter to
feed on the travelers. A distinguished
Confederate General said that his plan for
destroying Grant’s army was to let them
take Vicksburg and JacksoD, aud those of
them that survived the trip on the railroad
to Meridian (which was always killing some
one) would starve to death at that de
lectable place. Dodgers, tanbark coffee
and fried masses of trichina: were diversi
tied with ham pic, squirrel tart and sour
molasses, when suc-h distinguished visitors
as Dr. V -, of West Baton liouge, came
along, and would not be satisfied with
less.
“Chinaberrv whiskey, which although
maniacal inits tendency, destroyed trichinae
in the system and made a man oblivious to
the biting of bugs, could be had for its
weight in newish. And if you did not
like the accommodations afforded by No.
40, you could lie down (no one ever slept
except the dead, in that town) in the
string of dilapidated cars that formed the
city.
"It is said that Meridian was humanely
selected by the authorities as the place to
which car loads of hopelessly sick Con
federate soldiers were sent to die, as they
could leave the world with less regret
from that spot that any other in the Con
federacy. Good-bye, Meridian. May we
live three score and ten and never gaze
upon your red hills, black jacks and yellow
ruts again.”
After a Funeral.
A story is presevered among the legends
of a New England town, of a pair of wor
thy old ladies —sisters-in-law, we believe,
they were—who were quite inseparable :
indeed it was a standing joke in that town
that if Aunt Sarah should go to heaven,
her first inquiry would be, when safe in
side the gates, “Is sister Champlin here?”
The old ladies had many tastes in common;
among them was a somewhat singular one
—a passionate desirer to attend all the
funerals round about.
One morning they heard a report that
Mr. Sharp, the minister, in a neighboring
town, had died. The hour for the funeral
service was not mentioned; but judging
that it would occur on the second day, Aunt
Sarah and Sister Champlin, each arrayed
in anew black silk apron, as being emi
nently appropriate for funeral wear set
forth at sunrise—determined, at all events
to be in time: Aunt Sarah being the pro
prietress of a “one horse shay”—a rickety
concern, drawn by a lazy old mare—had
called for Sister Champlin, and by dint of
much persuasion of the obstinate beast, the
pair by nine o’clock reached the borders of
the town whore the minister resided:
At this point they met Mr. Sharp’s bird
man driving a yoke of cattle. The old la
dies drew up, 'and Sister Champlin, as
spokes-woman,(inquired what hour had been
appointed for Mr. Sharp’s funeral.
“Why, bless yer soul, Miss ChaiuDlin,
the minister aint dead yet!—shouldn’t be
surprised if he held out till fall; he’s got
the wear in him, the old man has.”
Aunt Sarah drew up the reins with an
air of resignation, as if to go round. Sud
denly she dropped them. “Sister Champ
lin! Sister Champlin! do ask the crea
ture if he don’t know of a funeral that we
can go tew. ’ ’
Lincoln’s Last.
We have heard an anecdote of the late
President Lincoln, which, unlike some of
the stories attributed to him, is, we believe,
an actual fact. _ During Mr. Lincoln's prac
tice of his profession of the law, long be
fore he was thought of for President, he
was attending tho Circuit Court which met
at Bloomington, Illinois. The prosecut
ing attorney, a lawyer by the name of La
mon, was a man of great physical strength,
and took particular pleasure in athletic
sports, and was so fond of wrestling that
his power and experience rendered him a
formidable, and generally successful oppo
nent. One pleasant day in the fall, La
mon was wrestling near the court-house
with someone who had challenged him a
trial, and in the struggle made a large rent
in the rear ot his unmentionables. Be
fore he had time to make any change, he
was called into court to take up a case.
The evidence was finished, and Lamon
got up to address the jury, and having on
a some-what short coat, his misfortune
was rather apparent. One of the lawyers,
for a joke, started a subscription paper,
which passed from one member of the bar
to another, as they sat by a long table
fronting the bench, to buy a pair of panta
loons for Lamon, “ho being,” the paper
said, “a poor, but worthy young man.”—
Several put down their names with some
ludicrous subscription, and finally the pa
per was laid in front of Mr. Lincoln. He
quickly glanced over it, immediately took
up his pen and wrote after his name, “I
can contribute nothing to the end in view."

Our popular friend, Judge Reid, who
edits and _ publishes the Coahomiau at
Friar’s Point, and which, by the way, is
one of our best country exchanges, has
been in the city for a few days past. Wc
have taken him around and shown him
the elephant, and in our preregriations, a
little incident occurred which "we feel in
clined to tell on him. Every one knows
that Reid is as clever and talented as lie is
good-looking and amiable, and conse
quently something of a lady-killer. The
fact is, we took him to see some of our
city bells, and it was only a short time
before a “ mutual feeling” crept over the
judge and a very handsome young lady.
They said a great many sweet things to
one _ another, when we came to the con
clusion Reid had made a conquest. Supper
was announced, and every one, except
Reid and his com left the parlor. The
judge made good use of the time, and re
membered the old saying that “ two is
company and three is not,” for ho had
only been alone with the lady a short
while before he had his arm around her
waist. Just imagine the judge in that
position—ye gods ! What a thrill of de
ight must have run over his feelings!
The lady, however, soon removed hi
arm with the ftfarp reproof, “I thank
you, sir. I can support myself?” “You
can?” quickly replied the judge, “then,
by gracious, you are the lady 1 have been
looking for since I started the Coahomian.
