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. Vera Cruz advices of the Kith report the situation of the Umpire to he daily grow ing worse. It has lately 10.-t Guaymas, ilerino.sello, Hives, Glanor, Zouzolica and other places of less importance. The Ere NimceUe announces that on the , 6th an important conference took place at the palace of Chepultcpee upon the most efficacious means to obtaiu funds tor the Treasury, ami a committee was to draw up a report, which was all that was accom plished. „ ; The Estafeile fays that a < ouncil of Ministers met on the Oth, at which Maxi- j millian presided. Questions of the gravest importance were submitted to the Council. It is rumored that Larrainzar, the Minis- I ter of the Treasury, is to be removed. A convoy, with treasure to the amount of $3,000,000, left on the 13th for Vera Cruz. . , | Letters from Jainpico assert that the Liberals had formally taken possession ol the lands of Manuel Onofre I’aredes, and were selling cattle at i!iß2 per head, and | yokes of oxen at sSf>, and offering lands for • sale at analagous ]iriccs, and for this latter object had sent agents to the United .States j soliciting purchasers. Tulancingo was be- j ing put into astute of defence. i Viscount Martinez and several of lus ; men were arrested in the vicinity of'Flaco-j t:i]plun, and shot the same day by order of Geueial O’Haran. The Liberal chief at Akain Antonia IVrez discovered a concealed store of 500 muskets, and had raised and equipped 200 men. |j jAn effort is on foot to complete the inter ocean road at Tehauntepec by April, 1860.

At the capture of l res by the Liberals the Imperial General Fran /.burg waskilled. It is said that this Government has pur chased of tho United States two monitors at a cost of $2,000,000, and as the Govern ment had no available funds two wealthy merchants of this city gave security for the amount. Iu Yucatan the war between the castes still continues, and Irom what may be gathered from meagre reports the Indians have thus far gained the advantage. 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, J. Louis Brown, Samuel Lowery, W-'f.

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 I the Ldiion. ~ George Alfred Townsend, the wr ; respondent of the New York World, now j in Germany, draws the following contrast j between the Austrians and the Prussians: she Austrian people are the French 1 Germans ; with respect to their tempera- ; meat I might better call them Italian Ger mans. Vienna is a splendid city of cases, i gardens, music aud sensuousness. Berlin is a cold, rainy city, upon a sandy plain, full of barbaric monuments ami a steru eyed population. The one is Md, licen tious and haggard, and at the door of death : the other is new and imperious and full of martial aspirations.

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. A Torch- and-Turpentise Scoundrel. . Some time ago we asked for information about one of the T. and T. troupe, "Dr. Randolph. The Thibodaux Sentinel re plies : We are told that Dr. Randolph came to Lafourche in the winter of I860: married here a respectable quadroon by the name of Jane MeMaster some eight months ago After two months of marriage he saarne fully abandoned his wife, leaving her 111 a destitute, "interesting condition, and he has gone from our parish, we hope never to return. 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.

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.

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- Forelgii. 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 course. The State Department has received an important treaty from Japan of vast com mercial import. It allows a more extended trade with that country than we now en joy, and is otherwise beneficial to com merce. It has been duly ratified by Japan, and will be laid before the Senate in secret session for ratification. The Mexican Legation in Paris had re ceived and published the following tele gram from the Emperor Maximilian: "Celapcltepec, September 27.—Y’ou will inform our Legations of the excellent spirit which prevails among all classes in Mexico. The Ministry is definitely consti tuted. The best understanding exists with our allies. The Apizago Railway is open. ’ Napoleon, it said, insists on negotiat ing a large French loan. His Cabinet op poses the plan, and ministerial changes are looked for. The Manchester cotton mills are on “short time.’ The Saxon army is dissolved and the peace treaty with Prussia perfected. The Baden Parliament rejects the propo sition for an alliance with Prussia. 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." lie Found her at Last. 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. —Memphis Appeal. Trifles.
