WEMKdBJ3 MORNING. AUGUST HT
iW Two Armies.
As life’s unending ooluuin pours,
Two marshal'll wonts are seen—
Two armies on the trample# shores
Thai death flows black between.
One marches to the drum-beat roll,
The wide-mouthed clarion’s bray,
And boars upon a eriinsi>n scroll,
“Ourglory is to slay.”
< )ne moves in sileuce by the stream,
With sad yet watchful eyes,
Calm as the patient planet s gleam
That walks the clouded skies.
Along its front no sabres shine,
No blood-red pennons wave ;
Its banners liear the single line,
“Our duty is to save. - '
For those, no death-bed’s lingering shade;
At honor's trumpet call.
With knitted brow and lifted blade
In glory’s arms they fall.
For these no clashing falchions bright,
No stirring battle-cry ; •
The bloodless slabber calls by night—
Each answers, “Here ain l!”
f°r those tho sculptor’s laureled bust,
• he builder’s marble piles,
The antliurris pealing o’er their dust
Through long cathedral aisles.
I or these the blossom-sprinkled turf,
That floods tho lonely graves,
When Spring rolls in the sea-green surf
In flowery-foaming waves.
Two paths lead upward from below,
And angels wait ai>ove.
Who count each burning life-drop’s flow
Kach falling tear of love.
Though from tho hero’s bleeding breast
Her pulses Freedom drew,
Though the white lilies in her crest,
Sprang from tliat scarlet dew—
While Valor’s haughty champions wait
Till all their scars are shown.
IjOvc walks unchallenged through the
gate,
To sit beside the throne.
[Or. Holmes.

The (login Fourteenth Constitutional
Amendment*
The following article, taken front the
< Cincinnati Enquirer, shows the feelings of
the Western Demacrffcy in relation to this
cruelly unjust legislation. We are ashamed
to be compelled to admit that the Democ
racy of Ohio and the great West are sound
er and truer to the country on this great
question than a majority of our present
Legislature. To those Democrats who
voted for tho amendment we specially
recommend a careful perusal of this West-,
ern editorial :
This miserable political contrivance, the
more spawn of a political campaign, com
pounded of bigotry, intolerance and folly,
lias been declared ad. pted, and to hence
forth constitute a part of the Constitution.
It was meet and proper that an amend
ment containing provisions so base should
be i atilied by fraud and force. It really
and honestly never has been ratified. Tho
pretended ratification by the six Southern
States is a cheat and a delusion. There has j
been no ratification among the late Con
federate States, except a ratification dic
tated at the point of tho bayonet. In addi
tion, also, tho States of Ohio and New Jer
sey, which ratified it in 1867, withdrew
their assent in 1808, while the matter was
still a pending question, and duly notified
the (1 ovet ninentof l heir action. The Con
gressional “rump’’ has directed the Sec
retary of State to pay no attention to this ;
rescinding of tho ratification by Ohio and j
Now Jersey, but to count their votes as j
being for it. Without this rejection of i
those two States, the amendment is beaten.
This bogus interpolation fti the law of
the land ought not to he permitted. We
do not tioUeve it will be longer than it j
takes to bring a ease arising under it prop j
erly before the Supreme Court of the 1
United States. As long as it is allowed to !
stand, it will boa terrible blotch upon the
Constitution. One of its main sections j
denies to the States representation in j
Congress for their negro population, unless
they, at the same time, permit negroes to
vote. They thus make of tho negro a
privileged nominal class. Statos can bo
represented for their female population,
even if they do not give women tho right
of suffrage. But not so the negro ! Ho
must not be touched. The effect of it in
our own State will probably be, when tho
census is taken, in 1870, the loss of one of
our Congressmen and a Presidential
doctor, unless wo submit to negro suf
frage.
Another section of the protended amend
ment declares that ‘‘the validity of the
public do lit shall not be questioned-” Un
der this section a Radical Congress will,
we presume, pass a law punishing with
line and imprisonment all persons who
“question"— that is the language—the va
lidity of the public debt, and Who oppose
its payment in gold! We shall return
again to the old sedition law of John
Adams lot a model
\iuuher section proscribes from over
bolding oilico under the United States or
the State governments a largo number of
the leading persons in the South, etubrao
ing the talent, experience' and character of
that section, and, in order to clinch the
proscription, it provides that it shall re
quire a two-thirds vote in Congress to re
turn e these disabilities in individual cases.
These are some of the salient features of
tins bogus sod bastard amendment, with
which it is proposed to disfigure the Con
stitution. Whenever we return to legiti
mate and regular government, if not be
fore, this disfigurement will bo healed ami
ibis blotch upon the Constitution effaced.

Constitution: And whereas, sueli per so us
bold seats as Senators on this floor: And
whereas, there'are laws of vital import
une. to the people of Georgia to be enacted
by thy General Assembly, the valid
ity of which should not be made un
certain because of participation of their
ena-tuierit by persons not entitled under
the < to so participate: therefore
be it T ANARUS, . .
Resolved, That the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections lie directed to inquire
intotlie eligibility of the several persons of
color holding seats as Senators and report
at tiie earliest day practicable.
Mr Hungerford opposed the resolution,
and stated that, there was a higher power
than Governor lirowu —he alluded to the
letter of Charles Sumner—who distinctly
said that colored persons had the right to
hold office. When we adopted the 14th
amendment that settled the question. He
concluded by moving to lay the same on

and was opened with prayer.
The pro< ei-dings of yesterday were read.
.'dr Povvoil, of Decatur, offered the fol
lowirg resolution:
Unsolved', That the use of this Hall is
hereby granted to Cot John Milledge, to
address the General Assembly and other
citizens, Monday night next., on a subject
pf great importance to the whole people of
Georgia. Adopted.
Mr Golden, of Taliaferro, offered the fol
lowing.
Resolved, That L Carrington, Esq., of
the county of Baldwin, bo elected by this
House to act as Assistant Clerk pro tem.
Adopted.
Mr Rice, of Columbia:

Resolved, That the Clerk procure a copy

tho late Constitutional Convention for the
House, andiftliero are none on hand that
lie shall be authorized to have them print

Mr Scott, of Floyd, said :
Mr Speaker—l rise fo ask aquestiou be-;
fore the House votes’ op this resolution.
Tfio law of Congress requires the Legisla
ture bo proceed to election of U S Senators
on tho second Tuesday after organization.
Tipi question is When was the Legislature
organized? We thought it took plaeo on
tipi election of Speaker and Clerk, but the
Governor and General Meade decided
otherwise. They declared that we,were
not a legal body until we did a certain
thing, in a certain way. Tho House com
plied with the requirement, and on last
Wednesday the Military Commander an
nounced to this body that having complied
widi tho conditions required he would
recognize us as a legal body. True be said
he so recognized us from the 18th, but the
announcement was hot made to this
House until Wednesday,! lhe 22d. If Gen
Meade had the authority to organize in
tho manner required, thou was the House
organized until his letter was read?
This gave rise tea rather lengthy discus
sion, during which Mr Bryant, of -Rich
mond, moved (o strikeout all after the lltli
line.
Tito amendment called for the election
of .State officers on Monday and not on
Tuesday.
The resolution as amended wasadopted.

from the 4th of J uly last to the date of its
permanent organization on the 18th inst.,
inclusive, lie legalized and binding, and
that memliers and officers of th« same be
entitled to Iheir per diem and mileage
from the date first aforesaid. Adopted.
Resolved, That if the Senate concur in
the resolution staying the levy of certain
ft. /ns., tlie Clerk of this House have two
hundred copies thereof printed as soon as
possible, and distribute them by mail to
each Sheriff of the different eounties of
this State. Adopted.
The following was read :
Members of the Georgia Legislature:
Gentlemen:—At a' late meeting of the
Ladies’ Memorial Association of Atlanta,
it was resolved that an appeal be made to
the Legislative body now in session, for a
voluntary contribution from any member
who may feel an interest in the work they
have undertaken—that of raising funds for
the erection of a monument in memory of
our honored soldiers buried in the Oitv
Cemoterv.
Sirs: It is a sacred work, and one to
which every true and noble heart will re
spond, be it friend or foe. Does not even
an enemy respect and honor a brave man.
who Ims fallen in defence of his country,
of his home arid loved ones? Then will not
the Representatives of the State of Georgia
aid in preserving from desecration and
oblivion the graves of those who have
died for her? Surely they will—ami every
hand give some evidence,however simple',
of tho*r appreciation of the feeling which
animates us to make this appealiug de
mand in justice to the thousands of brave
dead who sloep in numberless nameless
graves in our midst.
Hoping that this honored body will for
give this brief intrusion, and respond to
ibis appeal at their earliest convenience,
we remain respectfully,
L.vm ks or the M kmoriat, Association.
Atlanta, July il, 1868.
Mr. Maul, of Muscogee, offered the fol
lowing:
Resoh'ed, That tho State Treasurer ad
vance to the memliers and cllioers per
diem pay not to exceed the amount allow
ed by the laws of the session of 1866, from
the llth day of •?uly, 1808. Adopted.
I'lie House adjourned about 12 m.
SENATE.
Monday, July 27.—The Senate met pur
suant to adjournment, and was opened
with prayer by the Rev Mr Griffin, of the
21 si District.
Mr Candler gave notice that he would
move to reconsider so much of the Jour
nal of Saturday as relates to the resolution
introduced by himself as to the right of
colored person* to hold office. Mr Candler
supported his motion at length.' Tie argued
the nneouMUutionaliiy of the right of
colored persons to hold office. He alluded
to Joseph K Brown as high authority in
support of the position he assumed, also
the Congress itself iu addition to the
Judiciary. An election is to be held to
morrow for U S Senator, and will it be
right to let those vote who are ineligible?
It would be wrong to have the seats con
tested, when we could prevent it All the
Republicans wished was to use the negro
to carry out a political scheme, and then
turn him adrift. There arc to-day thirty
eolored men sitting iu this Legislature,
and these men will determine the validity
of all of your laws passed. Do Senators
expect to avoid this question ? Is the ery
of thirty millions of people not to be
hoard? "You have got to vote upou this
question, and you cannot dodge it. Par
liamentary law isir.udetoshow the record
of majorities as well as minorities. Shall
we live under a Constitution that nobody
knows what it means ? If the Convention
wrote it so a wayfaring man cannot read
it. lot the legislation of the country deter
mine what it does mean. I do not say
what will be the action of the Senate, but
I do know that action will and must be
taken. He would move to amend the
resolution, if not reconsidered, to reler it
to the Judiciary, and let the status of the
negro be determined.
Mr Smith, of the 7«h, rose in reply. He
did not have an opportunity to explain
his motion, on Saturday, to lay on the
table, but he would seek this lime to do)so.
The gentleman’s motive was. no doubt,
lor the good of the country. Ho admitted
that tlio question of black people
office was a vexed one, and we should ap
proach it with all charity, for the whole
country felt an interest in the matter. —
High authority declares the colored niau a
citizen, and he could not ignore it.
The reason why he voted a$ he did was,
that he considired this question was to be
settled in the future, ilis view was, that
Congress had a right to determine the
meaning of the Reconstruction laws; also,
this 14th amendment. He was willing for
it to be divulged bow he stands upon this
question. He had as much respect for J
E Brown as anybody, but he could not
take him as authority paramount to the
authority of Congress, and he could not be
influenced by outsiders—honce the reason
for his vote to lay on the table. The gen
tleman alluded to Mr Parrott, and how
he stood on this question, but he was no
authority for him. In regard to this mat
ter, my friend Mr Candler—
i The President called attention to the
fact that no personalities were allowed in
debate.)
Mr.Smith—l beg pardon, Mr President;
1 am not well acquainted with parliament
ary law r . When I get wrong, slow me the
line, and I will follow it. He was willing
to wait until Congress should decide it,
Mr. Higbee moved to lav the motion on
the table, whereupon the yeas and nays
were required to be recorded, and are—
yeas IS, nays 21.
Those voting in the affirmative are :
Messrs Bowers, Bradley, Brock, Camp
bell, Coleman, Corbit. Dickey, Griffin (6th

Jones, McWhorter, Sherman, Smith (36th

Hicks, Hinton, Holcombe, Jordan, Mer
rill, Me Arthur, McCutchen, Nisbet, Nun
nally, Richardson, Smith 7th District),
Welbourne, Winn, Wooten.
On the motion to recousider the yeas
and nays were required, and are : yeas 18,
nays 21.
Those voting in the affirmative are :
Messrs Anderson, Burns, Candler, Fain,
Graham, Griffin (21st District), Hicks,
Hinton, Holcombe, Jordan, McArthur,

Atlanta, 28th July, 1868.
Editors Chronicle. & Sentinel: Since my
last letter the all-absorbing topic has been
the approaching Senatorial election. In
th(s, both members and aspirants have
manifested deep interest. Let the contest
terminatc as it may, it is certainly true
that the Radicals have suffered many
hours of moody fear and doubt as to the
fate of their favorites, Brown and Blod
gett, and it is as certainly true, that during
these same hours the heart of Democracy
has beat high with hope as it patriotically
toiled in devising ways and means of se
curing, at least, men of respectability to
represent Georgia in the highest branch of
the National Legislature. Brown and
Blodgett have been painfully busy, and
have used the party lash freely upon re
fractory Republicans, but it has been the
policy of the Democracy to leave them in
tbe situation in which Mr. Hill found
himself in 1860, with a big fight on hand
and no enemy visible. Doubt and uncer
tainty has evidently weighed heavily
upon their minds for several days, as to
who their contestants would be. The ac
tion of the Democracy has at length
relieved them of that suspense, but I
am not prepared to say that. it has
diminished their anxiety. lion. Alex-
ander H. Stephens and Dr.H.V.M. Miller
are the candidates selected by the Democ
racy to defeat the two men who, above ail
others in the State of Georgia, are objec
tionable to its white people. It is proper
to remark in this connection that General
W. T. Wofford was, on yesterday, selected
as the Democratic candidate for the long
term, but for reasons satisfactory both to
himself and friends, he declined the race.
It was not until this morning that the
name of Mr. Stephens was suggested in
Democratic caucus, and it was agreed up
on with remarkable unanimity, not because
of auy known partisan predilections of his,
but because of his long established emi
nence as a statesman and spotless patriot.
This great and good man, however, is too
well known to the people" of Georgia,
whose friend he has ever been, to need
comment at my hands. As 1 shall have
occasion to allude to this question
again before closing this letter, when I
shail probably be able to give the result of
the first ballot in each House, I digress for
the present, • •
In the Senate we have had more than
one test vote upon the subject of the eli
gibility of colored men as Legislators.
Mr-Candler introduced a resolution,reciting
that it had been declared in the late canvass
by Governor Brown,a distinguished lawyer
in the Republican party, and by various
other distinguished gentlemen of that
party, that negroes were not eligible to
office under the new Constitution, and
therefore asking the appointment
of a committee to examine into and
report upon the eligibility under the Con
stitution of certain colored persons claim
ing to be Senators upon this floor. Re
publican Senators,’ almost to a man, voted
even against an investigation of this ques
tion, notwithstanding they deceived and
deluded the people during the late cam
paign into the belief that these negroes •
were not eligible to office under the Consti
tution. From present indications they
intend, at ail hazards, to maintain the
i right of these ignorant negroes to sit here
| and vote upon grave questions affecting the
| rights and interests of the whole people of
i Georgia, without even a legitimate inves*-
j tigation of the question. For so base a
purpose as this they resort unquestionably
to unfair means. They have a presiding
officer who, you may assure your colored
friends, is as true to the negro as if his
ties of blood centered in that race. Under
the Constitution no member of either House
can vote upon any question in which he is
interested. It is due to the country that it
should know that, under the ruling of the
presiding officer of the Senate, Mr. Conley,
| three negroes, whose right to be here is
i the issue made, are allowed to cast their
votes upon that issue, and thus, by their
own voice, keep themselves not only in
place but keep down investigation.
The great sensation to-dav was the
election of United States Senators. The
result has been sent you by telegraph, and
it is unnecessary I should repeat it here.
At the hour of twelve M. both houses pro
ceeded to ballot separately. The interest
manifested by insiders and outsiders was
intense.
When the result was announced ex-Gov.
Brown seemed in “good health and fine
spirits, I thank you,” while Mr. Blodgett
was “non est inventus.'’ The little military
Mayor is evidently left in the lurch. I
noticed during the voting the colored
voters had to be called twice, as a general
thing, before a response could be had, and
then they either spoke “ sot to voce,’
Brown, or called out some other name,
whose owner never made a speech, saying
an African had no right to hold office, but
when Mr. Blodgett was on the track, the
colored members, to a man, cried out in
genuine African style, Blodgett.
Speculation is rife as to the final result.
Rumors of compromise, concession and
conciliation are on every tongue. Be as
sured Joe Brown will make no compromise
that does not put “him” in the United
States Senate.
The Legislative machine is grinding out
Legislative proceedings with a vint, which
promises a huge journal and an imm. to
tome of laws. God save the country, lor
I fear this Legislature can’t do it.
Your friend and townsman Colonel
John Miiledge, whose familiar lace
reminds one that there is a Legislature
in session, is here, and, though his head
is silvered o'er with the frosts of many
years, his genial manners, cheerful dispo
sition and elasticity of spirits carry me
back twenty years, when he was an active
participant in the Legislature, an ardent
partisan, the prince of good fellows (if I
may be allowed such aa expression), and
the ideal ’of a “hail fellow well
met in the social gathering, which so
eminently distinguished Legislative socie
ty in the “ibssiiliferous village” which
whilom was the seat of government, and
bears the honored name of his distinguish
ed sire. The Hall of the House was ten
dered to him last night to deliver an ad
dress, but the inclemency of the weather,
together with the fact that the Senatorial
contest, which was toeorne off on this day,
was so engrossing the attention of all that
they could not spare an hour to listen to
one of Georgia’s most respected, able citi
zens upon the important subject of educa
tion.
A novel style of advertising developed
itself m the House this morning. A ery un
expectedly to every one, just in the nick of
time, when members were gasping for a
breath of Cool air, a porter was seen pass
ing from desk to desk, with an armful of
neat fans, delivering one to each member
“free gratis and for nothing.” Upon in
specting the article there aas found prim
ed on it, in conspicuous characters, St.
Louis Mutual Life Insurance Company—
together with the name of t' e Atlanta
Agent, which I regret I cannot recall at
this moment. I know he received tbe
thanks of members and is entitled to ail the
publicity which his generous donation so
richly merits.
Some members searched the fans closely
to see if' Governor Brown's card was not on
them—many suspecting the fan arrange
ment to be an electioneering scheme of
his.
Copious rains are frequent, but still the
weather"continues hot.

Washington, July 26, 1863. —The Sen
ate was in executive session until 2 o’clock
this morming and resumed the session
again at 8 o’clock this evening. The im
pression of Senators is there will be no oc
casion for a called session by that body, as
only two or three nominations remain
to be acted on, besides those to bo made
in eases of rejection. There are also sev
eral Indian treaties, which will occupy but
a short time." The'Cabiuet was in session
for an hour this morning considering the
questions of nominations and tho probable
necessity of calling the Senate into extra
session. Nominations in the place of those
rejecti 3. will be sent in t*his evening, but
whether there will be an extra session or
not depends upon co'ntingences yet to apse
—although the conclusion arrived at in
Cabinet meeting this morning was that
there would probably be no occasion for a
proclamation convening the Senate in an
extra session. Several Senators declare
their purpose not to remain, even should
the President issue such a proclamation.
The pressure on the President for office
increases as the session draws to a close —
every applicant being stimulated with the
hope that in the scramble, consequent
upon the great number of rejections by the
Senate, he may turn up the lucky one.
Wisewell and Burbridge arc each confident
of being Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue, since they have been so successful
in having General Jeffries rejected, al
though it is doubtful whether the TV. si
dent will regard their services in thL
spcct as adding much to their claims to
favor. There is a long list of applicants
for each of the vacant positions, and tiie
chances for suceess resemble somewhat
thoseof a lottery. It is impossible to appoint,
them all, and the President is compelled
to select from amoDg those. whose names
are presented.
Senator Hendricks , left this afternoon
for home. He will be met at Union, on
the Indiana State line, by a large delega
tion of eitizens who will tpnder him an
ovation, preparatory to his entering the
canvass for Governor of that State. He
expresses the greatest confluence in Indiana
giving an overwhelming majority for Sey
mour and Blair.
Hon. D. W. Voorhees, who has been
lying very i'll from the effects of a sunstroke,
is again able to leave his roqjn and will
soon be ready to commence his canvass for
Congress. He is now enthusiastic for Sey
mour and Blair, and like Senator Hen
dricks, lie regards Indiana safe for the
Democratic ticket by a handsome majority.
It is understood the Joint Committee on
Ordinance, which assailed the private and
professional character of General Dyer, will
decline preferring charges against that
officer, as requested by tho Secretary of
War. General Dyer will therefore ask a
court of inquiry. ,

Not the least among the inducements to
this course has been the embarrassment
caused by the advent of the carpet
baggers. These gentry, “in their new
suits,” must needs exhibit themselves to
the galleries by speechifying' on the floor,
and the Democratic members have made
themselves merry at their unique display.
The other day a Mr. Dewees (who I learn
went South a year or two ago, and was
employed by the Freedmen’s Bureau as a
horse doctor—having some time since
invented a specific for the bots), rose in
the House to advocate the bill providing
Springfield rifles to be furnished the
Southern negroes. A Democrat, feeling
or pretending to feel great interest in what
was about to be uttered, and waggishly,
assuming the attitude of listening intently
without ability to hear distinctly, suggested
that the gentleman from Kidderminster J
should ascend the rostrum in front of the !
Speaker’s desk. The fool, being flattered, j
proceeded to do so, in spite of the vehc- i
ment expostulations of the Radical leaders;
and, to the infinite gratification of the au
dience, was taken through a delectable
“course of sprouts” by Mr. Brooks, and
made to confess that “rcsonstfuction” was
worse than a failure, and that Unless it
was accompanied by the bayonet must
lead to anarchy. During his speech a
dozen Radicals, before inveterately opposed
to adjournment, caved in, confessing that
it would not do to “stand upon the order
of going,” but to “goat once.” “Great
God,” said Boutwell, in sotto voce, “let’s
put a stop to this.”
The only man of the “-reconstructed rep
resentatives” in either House who, upon
arriving at the metropolis had, as it were,
a second shirt, is a Mr. Whittemore, who
hails from Massachusetts via South Caro- !
lina, and who, says the Boston Courier,"
raised the wind upon arriving in Charles- !
ton a year ago in. the following very in- j
genious manner : “He convinced the ne-. I
groes that their marriages under the old i
system were invalid, and that they must j
be spliced anew by himself. In some cases I
couples of' darkies came to be remarried ;!
who had grandchildren with them. Whit; !
ternore, of course, charged a remune r ative j
fee for his services, and hence was on,.'-’ 1 i
to take his seat in respectable appar ’s !
soon a£ he arrived at the seat- of Grovetn- !
ment. ’ Another of these, gentry, who f
assumes to represent some district in North i
Carolina, was cooped up so long in a hotel
garret here on this account that his family :
advertised him far and near, and even
hinted that he had been spirited away by
the “Ku-Klux-Klan.” You have already !
heard of the disgraceful conduct of Abbott
in the Senate in respect to his salary. The 1
Radicals themselves literally compelled j
him to withdraw his vote to swell his own
account. To such a depth of degradation ;
have the Radicals reduced the legislative !
branch of the Government!
The newspapers have done General
Grant injustice in assigning motives for his
visit to the Rocky Mountains. I feel au
thorized to say that the “Whiskey Ring”
had nothing to do with it. The General
is fully aware of his deficiency in the accom
plishments necessary for the Presidpncy.
Mr. Wash borne* who has profitably read
“Gil Bias,” consequently called the future
President’s attention to that passage in Le
Saye’s novel in which it is profoundly laid
down that “without doubt one must travel
far before one can have a jinisliql educa
tion.’' The General, nevertheless, demur
red to the experiment until he was re
minded of the wonderful improvement of
Colfax from his extensive prerigrinations,
as evinced in his masterly lectures, which
undoubtably secured him the nomination 1
at Chicago. Grant consequently ac- j
quiesced. This is all. Accounts from the )
foot of the Rocky Motmtoins referred to, !
which the General had reached, have very :
recently been received in this city, and it is !
matter for congratulation that he’is repre- i
sented as decidedly improved. He is fess
reticent already—indeed talks quite glibly 1
—and has even written two or three let- j
ters of tolerable length without so much as '•
an unpardonable grammatical error. I
M hether elected or not, it is understood j
that the General will favor the public with
his observations, either in the way of lec
tures or in the mpre grave and permanent
form of a book.
In oar day it is pretty much as it was in
that of Fallstaff. It is “get a (ride of our
nation , if that have a good thing to make
it too common. ” This is decidedly evident
in respect to the great Chinese mission, f
Take up whatever you may (always excep,t
in? the Gazette) one will see the butt -end
of a column devoted to the celestial Embas
sy. Mandarin Burlingame gave a 'sensa
tion dinner yesterday in this city to whom
it might concern. The company was very
promiscuous anJ the edibles only' tolerable.
These people will depart shortly it is said
(and hoped) from this city and proceed
Northward to fete and be feted. As the
chief of this Embassy is an American by
birth, it might be supposed that, repre
senting a foreign semi-barbarous govern
ment at all the courts in Christendom, he
would have "had sufficient diplomatic skill
to discover that his success with the Euro
pean Governments would be ratherimpeded
than advanced by his incessant twaddle
about this. There would have been enough
of difficulty in his negotiations incident to
his personal relations to this country alone,
without an ostentatious display of partiali
ty in his official capacity. But this is an
affair important only to his celestial majesty
himself.
There is a very important article in the
Chronicle of this morning, which is'almost
sufficient to prove a most extensive and
bona fide split off from the Radical party
of men fully able to crush it to atoms.
The responsible editor, whose expressions
arc. always double leaded, formally reads
out of the party Senators Fessenden,
Trumbull Grimes, Henderson, Ross, Fowl
er and \an Yv inkle as emphatically as
Greeley kicks out Thai Stevens. Forney
charges the failure of the reconstruction
scheme directly to these men, and then
prroeeds: ‘‘That Andrew Johnson held
out hopes to these seven men that he
would moderate his course is disproved by
the fact that nearly all of them have been
known .as receiving favors at his hands
since they voted to keep him in office, as
indeed most oj them had previously put
themselves in his power, tlis hostility to
the laws and his encouragement of the
traitors.in the South have been more i’re
quent since his acquittal than before, thus
establishing the fact that they knew that
his scheme to overthrow the Government
would not be abandoned, even in the face
of their deplorable concessions to the argu
ments of his generously rewarded counsel. ’
The story of General Hancock’s dissatis
faction with the Democratic Presidential
ticket is entirely false, tie will shortly en
dorse it by a public letter. X.
The hreat Flood in Baltimore.
At 3 o’clock on Friday morning, the
24tbj a heavy rain and thunder storm
commenced. The rain fell in torrents,
with no intermission, utttii after 10 o’clock
p. in., and rendering pedestrianism in the
streets impossible. Accompanying the
rain was a strong Southeast, wind. The
water in Jones’ Falls, which flows through
the heart of the city, dividing West from
East Baltimore, commenced rising rapidly,
and gradually _ overflowed its banks and
filled the east side of Centre Market Space,
and Swan, Hawk, Holiday, Frederick, and
Saratoga streets. At noon the cellars of
2,000 houses were filled with water, which
in half an hour reached the ceilings. So
rapid was this rise, andso wild and furious
the torrent, that many lives were lost.
Had it occurred at night, as in 1837, the
loss of life would have been fearful. At
the.same time one of the street cars on the
Gray street .line, with a dozen passengers on
board, trying to cross Harrison street, was
swept away by the force of the torrent,
and three or four of its inmates perished.
THE SCENE ON BALTIMORE STREET.
The flood, swollen into an angry torrent,
rushed down the beds of Harrison and
Frederick streets in volume and swiftness
resembling the rapids of Niagara. At the
corner of Harrison street, in front of
Baroque's drug store, the water was with
in one foot of the top of the street lamp.
Ever and anon, masses of timber and wood,
boxes, barrels, railroad ties, articles of
household furniture, fencing, trees, wagons,
out houses, and, in short, all manner of
debris , from the wreck and ruin along the
line of the Falls, came sweeping down the
fearful current, and piling up in front of
the Maryland Institute, where, in this
way, a sort of breakwater was formed,
protecting that building against the beating
of the billows, for in truth nothing less
than billows they were that swept down
both Harrison and Frederick streets. The
water, soon after this, was seen to dash
over the head of Baltimore street bridge,
driving the people assembled there in wild
confusion toward High street. About this
time word came that Gay street bridge
was seriously threatened, and in attesta
tion of this report there was soon a flood
of pouring down Gay street, and
shortly thereafter the. back water came in
large Volumes down Holiday street also.
DAMAGE ON NORTH STREET.
The effects of the flood were very severely
felt on North street, and it is almost im
possible to estimate the extest of the loss
sustained in this portion of the flooded
district. Frpm the high- ground near the
City Hall excavation, just south of Lex
ington street, the'water covered the whdo
extent of the street northward, toward
IJager street, flooding every building. In
some places, say from near Pleasant street
northward,, the water was fully ten to
twelve feet deep. The residents of the
smjil! dwellings in the neighborhood were
obliged to take refuge in the upper stories
of their dwellings, and some made very
narrow escapes.
. HOLIDAY STREET.
This street also came in for a large share
of the overwhelming flood. The water
extended the whole length of this street,
even across the elevated portion of it at
Fayette ’street, and thence passing down
■ into Baltimore street.
In front of the Theatre the water rose
above the sills of the doors and thence ex
tended in a broad sheet across to the new
City Hall excavation, which was quickly
tilled, the water rushing into it with great
volume, presenting the appearauce ol' a
mill dam. Northward the whole length of
the street was like an angry river, and the
occupants of the small houses above Sara
toga street were in no small peril. Some
of them were rescued from drowning only
by the humane efforts of others.
AT EI.LICOTT CITY
The rise in the waters was unprecedented.
Elsewhere, and in our morning edition, we
have given accounts of the destruction of
the large mills and factories there, but the
saddest, of all. the sad scenes connected
with this flood is the large destruction of
human life at Ellieoft City. It is feared
that at least fifty persons were drowned at
this point. Tfie most distressing event of
this.character is the sweeping away of the
family wife and six children—of Dr.
Owings. They had been driven from
their own residence, and had taken shelter
at the house of a Mr. Fountain. This, in
turn, was swept away, and Dr. Owings,
from ana-her point, saw his family carried
oft and drowned without being able to ren
der the slightest assistance. Amongother
Persons supposed to have been drowned
are Mr. William Partridge and his grand
daughter.
f.^ e ,heaviest sufferers, pecuniarily, at
Elliott s are Mr. Gambrili, of thePatapsco
flour Mills, Benjamin Deford, John Lis
*eari’ Mr. Bradley and the
Avalon Nail andiron Company.
\\ illiam Patterson, wife and son * Mrs
Farrer and her two grandchildren’; Fan
nie and Emma Duvall, and Win. Reese,
wife, son and daughter are also known to
have been victims of the flood.
The first reports received from this ill
fated town on Friday evening were by
many regarded as extravagant, but furth
er, particulars almost fully confirm the ap
palling character of the flood at that point,
the cases of'drowning-being counted by
scores, and the damage to property reach
ing many thousands ol dollars. Along
what was known as the “water’s edge”
not a house is now to he seen, and whole
families have shared the fate of their
forper tenements, while the extensive cot
ton and flour mills of the city have, in sev
eral instances, been swept away or serious
ly damaged. _ One of the flour mills of
Mr. C. A. Gambrili, of this city, was de
stroyed, and the other seriously damaged,
and the proprietor himself narrowly" es
caped a watery grave. Mr. Gambrili is
under the impression that about half a
dozen workmen, engaged in the lower part
of the mills, were drowned, as he could
learn nothing of them before leaving. His
loss will probably reach $75,000. The
Garrett Cotton Mill, owned by Mr. Deford
of this city, valued at $150,000, is a com-
plete wreck, and Matthew McCauley, a
watchman, was drowned in the premises.
Ihe stores of G. T. Bradley and J. 11.
Leysber, with their contents, valued at
SIO,OOO, were also swept away. The pre
cise number of lives lost is believed to he
about fifty, mostly women and Jchildren,
hut the names of all have not yet been as
certained, in fact so much excitement and
confusion yet prevail as to render this al
most impossible.
J The scene presented previous to the
f drowning of most of the unfortunates who
: were decreed that fate is represented to
' have been heart-rending in the extreme.
Friends and neighbors saw those near and
dear to them standing, as it were, in the
very jaws of death and were unable to lend
a helping hand. Among the first houses
started from their foundation, was that of
Dr. T. B. Owings, and the family sought 1
refuge in a neighboring one. As this be
came untenable they reached another and
another until the last of half a dozen i
houses stood trembling in the flood and
about thirty human beings, men, women:
and children, black and white, stood upon
the roof awaiting in black despair their
melancholy fates. As the last refuge I
gave way all went down together, and
scarcely a soul survived the raging flood in
which they were engulphed. As far as !
can be ascertained the names of those
drowned are given, as follows: Mrs. T. !
B. Owings, six children and three ser
vants ; William Patterson, wife ami five i
children: William Partridge, wile and
niece ; Mrs. Farren and two niecca ; Miss
Duvall and Mary E. Duvall, her niece, !
Martha McCauley; John Keese and I
daughter; John Murphy, wife and child ;
Mr. Gabbrel, wife and child : John Steel;
\*fountain, wifoand daughter, and
Mr. Snyder Os these the bodies of Mrs.
Owings and two children have been recov
“ef!n ‘be vicinity °f the Relay House,
nl.uM ?, wom ?n not yet identified;
that of Mr. Partridge was lound at the
long Bridge, toot ot Light street, and a
woman unknown : Miss Duvall and
W -, Mrs ' 1 atterson and one
child Mr. Reese Mr. Snvder, Mr.
Fountain. and Mr. Gabbrel. John
Murphy, Dr. Owmgs servant William,
and an unknown child have also been re
covered at different points on the Patapsoo.
Near Ilchester the body of an unknown
man has been found, with the iron rods
from the turnpike bridge coiled so tightly
about him that machinery had to be
brought into requisition to release the body.
, e ,, e P*' l l e clt J’ is a house of mourning, and
the friends and acquaintauoes of drowned
persons whose bodies have not yet been
reeo\ ered are hunting them at every point
along the Patapsco from that place to
Baltimore.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
From a gentleman who returned yester
day from E lieott City we learned some
particulars of the destruction at that
point. Ihe scene is said to beggar descrip
tion, and only personal observation can
convey to the mind an adequate idea of the
wide-spread and general ruin. Os the
Gi unite Mill, A, substantial structure, with
its stone foundation wail in some places at
least twenty leet thick, oulv a fragment of
wall remains. Very few houses or build
ings escaped, and those which were not
swept bodily away were much damaged
and filled with mud left by the subsiding
water. The number of drowned is esti
mated at from sixty to seventy. Os some
twenty persons who had congregated in a
house which was believed to furnish a safe
haven, not one escaped.

ratification meeting at Greencastle, Ind.,
on Saturday night week. At this meeting
lion. John A. .Matson made a speech,
giving his hearty support to Seymour and
** „ Umberto he has been a leading
and influential Republican.
On the Thursday following there was a
Seymour and Blair ratification meeting at
Shelbyville, Indiana. And here one cf the
speakers was W. H. Lamaster, Esq. He
is a rising young lawyer of that city, a
gentleman and a scholar, and hitherto was
the main hub in the Republican party in

bears honorable sears.

anything is wroag in the ph*sl- a tystem the natural forces

of this medicine upon the stomach, tlielivir and the kidnevs
is prompt and decisive. The pat'ev t, who is wise enough to
quit drugging and try the bITTEiIS, soon feels as if he had
taken anew lrase of life, and as he continues the us of lire
