From our Regular Correspondent^ Phileelphia, Sept. 23. Centennial visitors do not now come singly, but like trouble in bat talions, they overun everything, they inundate the streets, hotels, board ing houses, and Ceutennial grounds. It is estimated that there are at least a quarter of a million of them iu this city now, and the long over laden truins arrive hourly with greater numbers than they take away. So that the crowd is constant ly increasing, and Philadelphia, to speak elegantly, is actually slopping over with visitors. On Wednesday of this week there were over 100,000 paid admissions, and, on Thursday, New York day, the number of paid admissions was 115,000. It is not re markable, under the circumstances, that the commitsfon has recinded its order making the remaining Sat urdays half pay days, since, at the rate visitors are now coming in, they would certainly lose by it. NEW YOKE, GOV. TILDEN’H RECEPTION. On New York day the citizens of the Empire State were very numerously represented. It is estimated that 45,000 New Yorkers were on the grounds. Conspicuous among these were 600 New York policemen, whose presence led many to suppose that the city was left unprotected, and that the wicked would have high carnival, but the Metropolitan po lice force numbers more than 2,400, so that the precocious villuge was not left entirely unguarded. At one o’clolock, not less than twenty-five thousand people had con gregated upon the green sward and Hower beds that surround the New York State building, when a private carriage drove slowly through the dense masses up to the front door. The curiosity to see the candidate of the Democratic party wus intense, aud us he asceaded the steps accom panied by Ex-Governor Bigler of Pennsylvania, the cheering wus earnest, loud, loug, and ail pervad ing. A number of Ceutennial Com missioners, headed by Gen. Haw ley,! followed! Governor Tilden to the reception room, where a scene was enacted that was both ludicrous and trugic. The front door of the reception room is readied by a flight of steps, and living masses lifted by the press ing throngs in their rear rolled off these steps like apples from an over heaped barrel. A number of persons fainted from the suffocating and dan gerous pressure. For an hour an anxious throng of people poured in at the front door and out at the east ern entrance, shaking hands as they passed with Governor Tilden. At the end of the hour it became evident that if he waited to shake hands with the constantly increasing multitude outside, he would have to make at least two days of it, and there being other ceremonies in the day’s pro gramme, he was prevailed upon to go to the lower verandah and make a salutation en masse. This he did in a very happy and entirely im promptu manner, without uttering a word that could have the remotest reference to politics. Among tne co incidences of the day were his intro duction on this occasion by General Hawley, the author of the Cincinnati Republican platform, and the pres ence of Gen. Grant in the adjoining British building. Ho was there, it is said, by invitation to eat and drink and smoke, with the British Commis sioners, a role in which lie is the greatest of all our Presidents, but a sense of propriety would have kept him strictly to business, and pre vented his appearing on the front portico in an apparent effort to ap propriate the attention that all bad come to pay to the coming man. As the spectator approached the build ing the most prominent figure, aud one that could be seen from afar, was Ulysses, standing in the door, looking on with that admixture of vanity, craftiness and stupidity, which are mirrored in the tout ensem ble. that the Republican party has de creed shall hold the nation up by the tail no more. Since the party has called another hero from another abyss of inanity, the great silent man mooes around pageantry, and obtrudes himself upon the public gaze in a melancholy way that would be pathetic if it were not ludicrous. After Governor Tilden concluded his verbal salution to the immense concourse of people iu front of the New York Building, he took the arms of Mr. FrededickConkling, and Mr. Havemeyer, his host, and, pre ceded by three members of the Cen- THE DAILY TIMES. tennial police as guides, they went through the principal aisles oT the main building, without pausing, and then, in the same manner, through Memorial Hall, the art annex, across the Hortlcultual grounds, through the United States Building, and thence, back again to the New York Building. "Governor Tilden’s escort endeavored to make him acquainted with the wonders which they passed, but, with no great success. The Presidential candidate is not remark able for physical stature. He is no taller than the first Napoleon, and it was almost impossible for Inin to see anything over the hats of the ladies and the heads of the gentle men who surrounded the little pro cession, and crowded the aisles. As Mr. Tilden re-approached the New York State Building he wus saluted with presented batons by the entire force of the visiting New York police that had been formed in 1 in, under the command of superintendent Walling, to receive him. Ascending to the upper verandah, he addressed a few words to the police corps, com plimenting them upon the eflloieuey of their drill, and, after they had countermarched in review before him, he entered a carriage with Messrs. Havrmeyer and Conkling and was driven away. Governor Tilden looks very much like his numerous pic tures, and speaks iu a voice not re markable for strength, but that is earnest and distinct. His dress is plain black broadcloth with little or no padding, high silk hat with crape baud, and boots comfortably large. When he got into the carriage the crowds surged around to take him by the hand, aud the carriage starting, while ho was still standing, aud at the instant his hand was in the grasp of a powerful fellow citizen, he al most lost his .equilibrum and quite lost his hat, but lie regained the former with thealacrity of a younger man, and, the latter was handed him by somo one wlio caught it. C. A. S. Tell ilroeck's Ureal Ha it. Louisville, Sept. 27,-jTho grounds of tlie Louisville Jockey Club wero more than crowded ttf-day, thousands of home people gathering there to witness the famous Ten Broeck make his run against time. Fellowcraft made four miles, in 1874, at Saratoga, iu 7:IUJ. Since then it has been thought, that, this time could not be equaled, and up to-day it has not. TIIE BETTING. The betting was about even last evening, but to day, with a clear sky and good track before them, the peo ple of Kentucky put their money on the horse, letting strangers look after time. THE FIRST MILE. Add was entered in the race with Ten Broeck, and at the send off led him by half a length. He soon took second place,and from there on stead ily dropped behind. The llrst mile was made in very slow time—l:s2J. THE SECOND AND THIRD MILES. Mr. Harper. Ton Broeck’s owner, stood at the string and excitedly moved his hat to go on. The jockey complied and scored the second mile in 1 :151, and the third in 1:46J. FOURTH MILE. At the commencement, of the fourth mile. Add was a dozen lengths be hind. Anew horse was joined in the race, running up alongside of Ten Broeck. The two galloped along to gether a quarter of a mile, iVben Ten Broeck shot forward and was never again caught by the fresh horse. THE FINIBH. As he came down the finish, the thousands who had been quiet as possible previously, now feeling that Fellowcraft’s time would soon be wiped out, gave forth loud, long and enthusiastic cheers. The last mile was made in 1:50$. THE TIME. The entire distance was made in 7:15j, or seconds quicker than Fel lowcraft’s time, and 4 seconds less than Lexington’s at New Orleans in 1855. Mr. Frank Harper, his owner, was congratulated by hundreds amid wild scenes of dancing, shouting and hat throwing. Willie Walker rode the victor. Bobbie Swim was on Add, who on the finish was at the distance pole. An offer of $120,000 for Ton Broeck has been rejected. How They Hatch Esks in China. In Minturn’s “from New York to Delhi,” we are given the following account of egg-hatehing in aoutheru China: “On our return from the gardens wo stopped at an egg hatch ing establishment. This was a large wooden barn-shaped building on the river bank. The eggs are purchased out of the produce boats that go down the river, and are here arilicially hatched. The process employed is singular, as using only the natural heat of the egg, and is as follows: Large baskets, each twice the size of an ordinary barrel, and thickly lined witli hay to preveut the loss of heat, are filled with the eggs and then care fully closed with a closely fitting cover and twisted straw, the eggs are now left for three days, after which they are removed from the basket, and replaced in different order— those eggs which were before on the surface being now on the lowest tier. At the end of three days the position of the eggs is again altered, and so on for fifteen days, after which the eggs are taken out of the basket and placed on a shelf in another depart ment and covered with bran. In course of a day or two the chicken bursts its shell and makes Its way out of the bran, being at once taken charge of by an attendant, who is always on the watch. The whole se cret of this process is in the fact that tlie animal heat of the whole maß3 of eggs being attained by the basket, which is formed of materials which do not conduct caloric, is suflicient to support the animal life of any one particular egg, and to foster its de velopment. This is the only egg hatching process I ever heard of which did not require artificial heat. I should think it might be practiced in America in summer.” The Constitutionalist announces the death last Monday, of Col Thomas G. Bacon, of Edgefield district, South Carolina, well anil most favorably known as one of the oldest and most honorable sporting men in the coun try. COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1870. Till! YELLOW FEVER. Hall Ui'iairtH Irmu Navtiiuiali. Tim Morning News of Thursday j says: “With a clear sky, cool weath er, and a brisk northeasterly witid | prevailing yesterday, a much bright ! er hope was begotteu that the rava j ges or the epidemic would be some what checked. This hope was par tially realized hv tlio mortuary re port, published iu the evening, from which it will be seen that the num ber of interments were 31, from all causes, of which 22 were from yellow fever, showing a decrease of 3 in the total, and a decrease of ti of yellow fever cases. From a comparison with the figures in the several vears of yellow fever, ’54, ’56 aud ’SB, it is found that the fever began to abate about the last ot September, corres ponding with tho time at which the diminution of fatality occurred this year, and it is hoped that these in dications will be sustained from day to day uutil its final disappearance from our midst.” Tho Constitution of Thursday has a special from Savannah, from which we extract the following: To-day has been decidedly cool. The change set in last night. It is feared that the effect of the chauge will be unfavorable upou those al ready sick. Among those dead are several well known in this city and elsewhere whose loss will be sorely felt. W. P. Blue and N. P. Smith, of the firm of J. W. Lathrop & Cos.; E. W. Drummond and E. C. Grover, of tlie wurehouse firm of Groover, Stubbs & Cos., are among the dead, There were one hundred and fort} new cases to-day, among whom are the following: J. K.

Gentlemen: I have received your letter of the 13th fiist., inwhich you say; “The delegates of the Ninth Con gressional District, assembled this day in convention, and with a una nimity seldom witnessed in political bodies, have selected you as their candidate in the approaching elec tion for Congress,” and that you were appointed a committee to give me official notice of the nomination and to request my acceptance. The approval ofagood conscience is the highest possible reward for any service or action iu tnis life. Next to this to a public man is the ap nroval of his constituents. In the light of the circumstances surround ing me, and in view of the labors I have endeavored to perform, tlie ac tion of the intelligentdelegates com prising the Gainesville convention, so unanimous and so cordial, is peculiarly gratifying, and the nomi nation is accepted. To make the Union orice more a Union of equal States, resting in the consent of the people; to restore the Southern States to their full consti tutional place arid power in that Union, and to make all sections again united, cordial, prosperous, peaceful and happy, is now the grand mission of the Democratic party; and to aid in this glorious work is iny chief ambition. The complete vindication oi the Southern people from tho calumnies which unscrupulous partisans, in their greed for power, have so industrious ly sought to fix upon them, is an in dispensible part of this work, and must be performed largely by our owu Senators and Representatives in Congress. Without the approval of the people themselves, tho accom plishment of this great end would bo impossible, and Us merit itself would be brought into serious question. With my thanks for the kind words you have employed in con veying to me the action of the con vention, and with tho expression of my high regard for each of you per sonally, I am, very trulv yours, Bent.

A most, fearful and startling trug edy occurred iu this vicinity on Sun day afternoon. Dr. Solly was told in tho morning by a Mr. J. A. L. Sehles singer t,o call at the post office at 3 :30 nuu get a letter ho was expecting frem France; that tho lotter would contain matters of importance,which he wished rho doctor to telegraph to him at Pueblo, whither ho was going on tho 2 o’clock freight truiu. Dr. Solly called at the appointed time, but found there uo letters for young Schlessiugor, but two for lumself from the young man; one apologiz ing for the deceit, but stating that his object was to cot him (Sollyj to go to the post office—tho other, marked private, saying that lie was going to fight a duel that afternoon, that he expected to fall, and desiring the doctor, if not back by 4 or 4:30 p. si., to send to Lawson’s ranch for bis body. By the lateness of tlie mail these letters were not secured till after 5 o’clock. Dr. Solly consulted with soimi of his frionds aud decided to ride out to tlie point indicated. In company with Mr. Rlsely aud Mr. Weitbock they proceeded to the ranch, forgetting, however to pro vide lights, or even matches, anil so they had to wait the rising of the moon to further their investigations. Some thirty yards from tlie ranch is a deep ravine, whore the water rushes in the wet season, but leaving a suypotti surface when dry. In this they found tho dead body of tho young man, with a pistol shot wound entering tljo right breast and pussing entirely through the body. He had evidently fallen in his tracks. A line was marked out on tho sand, as if by the heel of a boot, aud on it lay the stiff cold body. Further search reveal ed a similar line twenty-five feet to to the south, on which were distinct ly traced tho marks of a mini’s feet. The letter stated to Dr. Solly that if he fell, his opponent would never be known ; that all plans wero matured for his escape from tlie country, and that all plans for himself were also perfected should the other dio, in which ho (Solly.) was to destroy the letters, as the only evidence that could trace the crime lmok to him. The letter also told of a sealed pack age at his room, which, if lie fell, tlie doctor should destroy. The opening of this sealed paper or papers this afternoon before thqooroner and jury muy reveal other facts, and the key to uuravel tho wholo mystery. A jury, consisting of Major McAllister, Major Wagoner, Dr. I. K. Palmer. Captain D’Courcy, 11. F. Cruvell and William McComber, was empaiinell ed and is now receiving testimony. Young Sclilessinger came here last April with Gen. W. J. Palmer, Presi dent of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, and has since acted as his private Secretary. No possible clew has yet been obtained us to the mur derer, but It is confidently believed t hat the sealed package confided to Dr. Holly will reveal enough to put tlie officers on his track. - *-♦. • FROM Til 1C INDI AN TI.HKI I OHY.

From tbu St, Paul Pioneer Preaa.J When our now prosperous city was in its infancy, a young blacksmith anil his wife lived near tho junction of what is now North First street ami Hennepin av enue. Not successful in business at that time, tho young husband, whoso real name was John Felix, though ho over boro tho most tender affection for ills young wife, as tho sequel shows, startod for tho fur West with the determination to obtain wealth and Independence. Hero ho re mained until tho breaking out of our civil war, when ho enlisted and became a Union soldier. While under the command of Gen. Sherman ho mot a oomrado from our city, who told him of tho sad misgivings of his former wife and of her marriage to a second husband (sho having never hoard' from him, though he had written her sev eral letters.) Felix then informed his oomrado that ho should never return to Ills homo until ho had acquired the inde pendent fortuno he had first unsuccess fully tried to obtain. Upon the closo of tho war ho once more turned his sorrowful footsteps towards tho West, and there soon laid the basis of that fortunejxo had so long been searching for. Starting on a ranch in Wyoming Torrito-, ry, ids Hock grow in number, and fortuno smiled as blandly as Ills ambition could desire, and tio was most naturally, os time passed, overcome with the desiro to visit onco more the spot whore his happi est moments had been spent. About six months since ho wroto to his son, who, at the time, happened to resido nenr Minne apolis, and received the letter. The boy, who was an infant at tho time or his fath er’s departure, and never knew him, could not understand its moaning, and gave it to his mother, who instantly recognized the writing, and with a woman’s nature, her llrst love so dwolt in her heart that she told her second husband without a momont’s warning, that she could llvo with him no longer. During tho week past, John Felix, after an absence of 18 years, roturnad to our city, and having learned that sho who was onco his wife was keep ing a boarding-house on First street north, immediately went thither. 110 called and recoguized her voice and Jflguro and thoso charms ho had admired In days past. He appoalod to her charity by toll ing her that he had no money. Blie told him ho was welcome to such faco as her home afforded. While waiting upon him ho asked tier numerous questions, and finally would up by asking her if sho ever knew a mail in the city by the name of John Felix. Her curiosity boing greatly arousod at hearing a namo pronounced sho had seldom heard for years, and di vining through tlie magnetism of love who tho man before her wap, she threw herself into his arms, and gave way to the joyful tears that remained unwept through all hor long waiting, and John says ho cried too. John further informs us that ho intends soon to return witli his family to tho land that has prospered him, and where wo are creditably inform ed ho is reckoned among tlie first of those wealthy ranchmen who inhabit the fertile plains.
