Outrageous condo.* or Rowdies at Hull son, N. Y. HrnsoN, July 26.—This city was visited yesterday by a gang of roughs and thieves, who accompanied the excursion of the Emmet Guard to Albany. The scoundrels spread all over the city, robbing and knocking down ci tizens to their hearts' content. :When starting to return to the boat they commenced a series of most brutal and devilish outrages, and still were allowed to have their way. They amused themselves by tiring stones, revolvers, and guns at the people, varying this order of things occasionally by striking them with clubs and maltreating them in various other ways. Leaden balls flew like hailstones, and roughdomheldaperfect carnival. A young man named Race, of Hudson, Was shot in the leg, and a boy named Derry had his arm bro ken.

HE IS ANXIOUS TO AID IN THE BLOTTING OUT OF SLAVERY NEGRO STIFFItAGE NOT FAVORED BY HIM MILITARY POWER NOT A USURPA TION, IN HIS OPINION. INDIANAPOLIS, July , ea—The banquet to Gen. Sherman last night was a grand affair. It was given by officers and ex.officers of the army. Gen. Sherman, responding to a toast, made a lengthy speech, saying, his ancestors being in the sea-faring line, had contributed largely to the importation of African slaves, and he felt it to be his duty, to atone, as far as possible, for the sins of his ancestors. He considered the slaves freed by the action of the SecessionistS, and that it was the duty of the_ Government to protect and educate them. They might, he thought, be colonized in Florida, and admitted to a representation in Congress. He opposed negro suffrage or in discriminate intercourse with the whites, 13is observations in Mexico and South Ame rica had led him to the belief that the whites must have - the governing influence. He believed Omnipotence bad inaugurated this rebellion to break down the legal hedge which had protected slavery from the just indignation of the civilized world. He thought that many of the Southern States would vote to ratify the constitutional amend ment. On the subject of the military power, he did not feel that there was any Usurpation, but that when the necessity had passed, he hoped that civil law would resume its sway. BURNING, OF TIltE WILLIAM NELSON. The Captain's Official Statement—The Ship a Perfect Blase of Fire while in run Sail—ffleu, Women, and Children Roasted Alive—A Fight for a Raft— Fearful Pante. By the steamer Scotia, arrived yesterday in New York from Liverpool, we are enabled to furnish our readers with the following con densed account of the burning of the steam ship William Nelson, drawn up by the Captain at the American Consulate at Havre. " The William Nelson left Antwerp, June let, with a cargo of rails, wine, and various mer chandise, about four hundred and forty-eight emigrant tiassengers, and a crew of thirty, in- eluding the captain. The ship did not, how ever, put to sea until the 4th. The voyage was without any remarkable incident until the 10th of June, when they reached ]at 41.20, long. 55.20 W. Here, several emigrants who had been iii for some days were suffering, from a violent fever; and, fearing that it might be come contagious, the captain gave orders on the 26th to the first mate and carpenter to -go below and ask the passengers on deek, so that the ship might be fumigated. Having all as cended, the first mate and carpenter were again sent below - with several sailors, fur nished with tar buckets and red-hot irons. The operation was nearly completed, about o'clock. when the last tar harrelburst into a flame, and the boiling tee flowed 11156i1 the deck in the centre of the ship, burning the carpenter and the sailor assisting him. The vesel immediately took lire. The middle deck was soon full of smoke, and the tar flowed un der the bed of one of the emigrants, setting it on fire. The flames spread soon to all the other beds, rendering it impossible for the men to do anything. Even before they Could reach the deck immense columns aflame shot through the hatchway, and, reaching the sheets of the mainsail, (all sail was set at that moment,] enveloped the mainmast with the ra pidity of lightning. Ere long all the sails on the mainmast were on fire, as well as the rigging. The captain immediately ordered part:of the crew to get the boats ready, and the rest to Close the ventilator and the hatch ways. This Was hardly done; when a 110Mber of men, consisting partly of sailors and partly of emigrants, formed a chain fore and aft, in order to pass buckets of water, which were poured down the main hatchway, whence is sued a column of flame. The pumps were also set at work. Hitherto discipline and good order had been maintained. The fire, how ever, made such rapid progress that the cap tain ordered the lowering of the boats imme diately. Now a general panic seized the un fortunate passengers allthrowing themselves upon. the noats, whion from their numbers it was impossible to prevent. The first boat WAS no sooner in the water than she was capsized by a number of emigrants who jumped into her. These were nearly all drowned. Four sailors,. however, succeeded in righting the boat and bringing it to the side of the vessel again, and then saved, some of them. But While the boat was still alongside more emi grants leaped into it and capsized her again. She was once more righted and as many as possible taken on board. Two other boats were lowered with much trouble. The lareest contained no less than thirty-five, with six of the crew, some of whom got into another boat less heavilyladeneleaving two to steer. The last boat, with the same number of sailors, and fall of emigrants,succeede= , tgti o n it e e t lheea ship, ro fellfthose who, endeavoring to j into the water and swam around it. The Cap tain, seeing that he could do nothing more, ordered the rest of the crew, about fifteen men, to throw overboard everything that would float. All were lashed together, so as to form a kind of a raft. ehie was hard clone, when some of the passengers still on boar d threw themselves upon it in large numbers, followed by several of the sailors, filling the air with despair ing cries. At this time others rushed madly from one end of the deck to the other. The tumult was such that it was impossible for the captain to make himself heard, though giving reiterated orders and seeking to stop the panic. At this time from one hundred and thirty to one hundred and flity emigrants had succeeded in getting upon spars along side the ship, though many were still strug gling in the water,. when the topmasts, with their yards, dc.. ,all on fire, suddenly gave way, and fell right upon those - in the boat, killing many at once and throwing the others into the sea. The cries of the wounded and drowning were terrible. Words are powerless to give an idea of the horrors of the scene. The unfortunates still on board the ship in their great terror surrounded the captain and the enders, clinging to them and beseeching them to save them. Some time after, the fire between decks gaining the upper deck aud the masts, a fresh panic broke out among them, and:seeing their only chance of safety was to get Upon the raft, the poor creatures fought among themselves to reach it. Many fell into the water and were drowned; others succeeded in reaching the raft, but the main mast felt upon them some minutes afterward and crushed a number to death. Then only did the second mate and a few of the crew jump over board. Being good swimmers they proceeded towards the boats, at some distance., and were fortunate enough to reach them, and still more so in:being taken in by the occupants. About two hours after the fire broke out a part of the deck, being entirely . undermined, fed in, and a large number of eno grants were precipitated, headtone into the burning furnace beneath. It was horri ble to see the flames leaping out of this gulf. The heat was suit - beating, and it was impossi ble to remain any longer on board. The lash ings which held the raft together being burnt through, it parted in two, with many persons clinging to the planks and many under neath. The captain, under the absolute im possibility of doing anything to save those still on board, antinot being able to re main with them longer, jumped overboard, and, seeing two boats at a great distance, swam towards them. After swimming for three-quarters of an hour, together with two sailors who followed him, they were at last perceived by the emigrants, who steer ed towards them ; and, at a risk of' being cap sized and drowned; picked them ail in a state of almost complete exhaustion. The .captain then took command of the two boats, and im mediately steered towards the ship in order to see if, with the spars flouting about, they could make a raft to save those .clinging to various objects and those hanging upon the ship's bowsprit. But nothing could be done. They remained; however, near the burning ship until 3 A. M., when she sank, carrying with her the rest of the poor crea tures on Mora. The bowie then steered N. N. W. There was no water on board either of them. One had no provisions, and the other hind two or three fowls, a duck, and a pig. During all this time the sea was calm, for had the slightest breeze arisen all must inevitably have perished, the boats being laden nearly to the witter , S edge. The shipwrecked pasty con tinued their way until 5 F. M., and they were seen and saved by the steamer Lafayette. The third boat was met by the hessian three masted bark Dmitri, which spoke the Lafay ette the same night. At the request of Cap tain Bocande, the captain of the limed trans ferred his shipwrecked guests to, the La fayette. "The Mercury picked up the fourth boat's crow, respecting whose fate so much anxiety was felt on the 'Leth of June. The captain of the Mercury ley to for several days, and sub sequently cruised about in the neighborhood of the disaster, with watches on the yards, in the hope of rescuing others of the shipwreck- - ed. One man, and subsequently one woman and three men, were thus picked up.

THE PROPOSED EUROPEAN CONGRESS The steamer Scotia, with Liverpool dates of the 15th and Queenstown of the 10th, arrived at Now 'York yesterday.

It is that Antwerp is to become a per manent station for American vessels-of-war. Welnay expect to see arrive on an early day the magnificent frigate Niagara; and site Will be followed by the Sacramento and the Colo_ T/IR ENGLISH ELECTIONS—THE LIBERALS AHEAD lip to the evening of the 14ekinstant. tile number of Parliamentary contests completed in England was 491 Of these the Liberals had 283 seats, and the Conservatives 158. Compared with the last Parliainent, the Liberals, accord- lag to the calculations Of the Times, have lost twenty-six and have gained thirty-live seats so that the net gain to the Government, thus far, has been. nine. Liberal gains are antici pated in Ireland, and, on the whole, the 7lniss looks for a great reinforcement to the Liberal cause. The Morning Herald only admits a loss of four ConSerVatiVe seats, and argues that this loss is more apparent than real, as the un• seated members were Conservatives only in name. There were still two hundred and thirty three seats to be ft lied—mainly by the counties —and the contests for these would extend over another week. Lord Palmerston - was, of coarse, returned for Tiyerton, but beams a conservative for his colleague instead of a liberal, as formerly. Lord Amberley, son of Earl Russell, was un successful at Leeds. Mr. Jacob !Bright; (brother of John Bright,) and Mr. Leatham, another relative, had,failed at Manchester and Huddersfield respectively. The first two days' voting for Oxford -Uni versity left Mr. Gladstone in a minority of twenty-five. The polling would continue for three more days. in the view of the possible failure of Mr. Gladstone at Oxford, the liberals had nominated him' as one of the candidates, for the southern division of Lancashire. There was a close contest in Liverpool, and the result was M favor of the two Conservative Candidates, Messrs. liorsfall and Greaves. The elections in some places had been ac .comPanied with rioting, but nothing of a serious nature had occurred, and on the whole they may be said to have so far passed ofr satisfactorily. =I! The number of deaths by cholera at Alexan dria on the lath of July was fifty-live. The epidemic had SenSibly diminished at Cairo and in the surrounding villages. The number of deaths at Cairo on the 12. th was forty-three. THE QCESTION OF. A NEW EUROPEAN CONGRESS The Pall Malt Gazette (London) has the fol lowing in reference to the reports of a new European Congress : "We learn from a trust worthy source that the Emperor Napoleon has entered into negotiations With some. of the European Powers for calling a Congress, the principal obj.ots of which are to bo the settle- . meet of.pending European questionso and a general disarmament General Prince Witt genstein, who arrived in Paris a few days ago from St. Petersburg, has, we understand brought with him an autograph letter of the ranpArtn!

The France is enabled to state, on private authority, that no communications of the kind have Yeeently been exchanged be tween the great European powers. The semi-official Nord Deutsche Allegerneine Zeitung, of Berlin, of July 11, says "Althong,h the rumor respecting a European Congress has not yet been officially confirmed, we believe we may conclude, from the general state of political affairs, that the present mo ment would be very favorable for the resump tion of the idea of a Congress. The friendly opposition of England and the in-will of Aus tria, which were the primary Causes Of the failure of the` previous project, may now be considered to have undergone some modifica tion. The good understanding between France and England will now for the first time be offi cially made manifest by the review of the combined French and English fleets. Austria could not hold aloof without, danger of com plete isolation. Prussia will at least have good reason for joining the Congress as soon as the execution of the project be ensured, since, in case of success, it could not fail to have a favorable influence upon the destinies of Europe?'

THE "GIRL SHOW" IN ENGLAND-BARNUM OUT DONE-THE SERVANT QUESTION-THE BRIGANDS OP ITALY-DRAMATIC PERPORHANOES OF CHINA. We compile from various sources the follow ing interesting European gossip Tau mut. saow . We all remember Barnum's baby showdon't wet and also some grave reproof theret i or, re ceived from our decorous Mamma-land here. Yet Barnum's idea seems to have taken root in this country, and on Saturday last bore its fruit in an exhibition which I dare say is unique in the history of the human race. It was nothing less than a prize exhibition of young glrls—a little over the age that Barnum's babies might be ifliving at this time. It occurred in the gardens of the Kensington Horticultural So eiety—a most ariStOeratie place and institution. It was at the close of a grand flower ehow. The splendid band of her Majesty's Ist Regiment Of Life Guards discoursed the rich music to which the hundreds of throbbing and expectant hearts beat time. Among these palpitating plateaus of human hues there walked, unre cognized as an official personage, a man with iron-gray hair, and cold, discriminating air. Me glanced without seeming to glance. lie was not at all in a hurry to make his decisions. At last, at a wave of his terrible hand, the music ceased ; the crowd of eager mammas and aunts approacked his throne each with her darling. A graceful bow, a distant hint of the existence of a Mrs. (a pretty woman, Pll warrant,) and the judge lays before him the three first prizes to be awarded. The first prize was an exquisite bracelet encrusted with diamonds and opals, value, $925. 0 ! how many diamond eyes and opalescent flushes there were Alas I only one could get it. " Mary C—," Calmly calls the judge, " born June, 1847 .” exhibited by Lady C—, Of 0— Manor, limits?' Glowing, blushing, snow pure complexion ,• clieStnut locks, all flush ed by a tint of sunrise beaming from the cheek; eyes that might mislead the day ; of a height that would . just bring her forehead up to the lips of a fellow Stand ing six feet in his shoes. Such was Mary C—, On whose fair arm the judge clasped the bracelet, with a feeling which .made one wonder if Mrs. -- were present. The second present is a very line white lace shawl, valued at WA to receive which the judge calls forth, "Lady Harriet D—, born August MI; ex hibited by the Marchioness of Stately; queenly, as if bodied forth from one of Tenny son's idylls, came forth this young lady. Worthy she was of the Ohio poet Howell's de- Dente line ! "The currea stock of the lily bath not her slender grace." The third prize was a jeweled bouquet-h Ol der, value $315, which was awarded to Laura 111-, "born May,. 1848, exhibited by Mrs. of Windsor,"--a brunette, with great luxuriance of tresses, exquisite tournare, and, Its to her eyes_ - . . ic Sweeter eyes were never seen, Eyes so fiery and serene." It was not in human nature that there should not be a few moist eyes, and pouting lips; and there was a general regret that there were not morelirizes ; but the judge's decrees were uni versally approved. When all were about to disperse the judge called a fourth young girl to him, and taking a small morocco case from his pocket, spoke as fellows : was MV duty as you are aware, to con beauty, - sider not only the but the taste of our fair young friends as shown in their attire. I have discharged that duty to the best of my ;judgment ; but I must now remark that I have been more struck by the cost than the taste of the display. Not but that most—nay, all of the competitors are dressed elegantly, but I beg you to look around, and see what a uni form are all in here is any sign of individual, original taste Certain elementary laws of complexion and Color being satisfied, the rest is loft to one of half a dozen milliners. Of that, however, I will not treat now—only to hint that if you did exercise your own taste a little more, the.taste of Mesdames Roger, Elise; and the rest, would be less of a monopoly, and its prodigious price would come down. I say prodigious, for, thinking my duty would be lessimperfectlyperformed if I did not take the cost as well, as the beauty of the dress into con- sideration, I made inquiry on that point in some cases. The answer astonishes me. To indicate the oxact nature of my astonishment, I have rosolved to add another prize for the lady whose dreSS is least eOstly in proportion to its richness and elegance; anal consider myself most fortunate in finding one alto gether worthy of the distinction. The lady is as well dressed as all but three or four per sons in this assembly ; and yet I ELIA assured that the whole of her attire—l need hardly say exclusive of her jewels—cost no more than forty guineas, a sum which barely equals the income of her gallant father for a fort night." upon which the blushing lady received a thimble of gold, And the exhibition of taste and beauty was over. THE SERVANT QUESTION. Among the queer meetings held in London was one a few days ago; with the object of effecting, a reform in domestic service. which has become greatly demoralized. Servants in England - bare grown -independent, Salley, f•cheming, rapaciousO mmoral, and, not un frequently, the associates of thieves and bur hlars. They are tyrants in the kitchen and ousekeepers room ; they join with the tradesmen to cheat their employers, either mmethig large percentages from butcher, fishmonger, grocer, &e., or pocketing the dif ference between the articles used and the bills rendered; they have their own company; they outdreSS their mistresses in short; they are the plague and pest of multitudes of house keeimrs. One speaker said that women were toomuch employed in England at field labor, in /trick-yards, and working as navvies on -rai/ways. It is true that °Multitude of coarse, ignorant women are employed in the hardest kids of out-door labor, but I do not see how Ulla affects the matter. Rev. Prebendary. Ocksen had been SO pleased With the address and' depOrtniellt Of 'l'm - Leh servants, that he bad brought them to England with him.

Frightful and almost incredible stories of the acts of the brigand. 4 in southern Italy continue to be 'received. The proceedings of the bri gands in Ohieti, as . described by the Puna, are almost too bad to be told. One party of brutes are said to have torn out a peasant's tongue with pincers. Another caught a farmer, bound him, and pierced his body with eighty bayo. net thrusts, and then shot him, as well as his wife and mother and a third besmeared their victim with pitch, and set him On lire and burnt him to death. DRAMATIC PERFORMANCES. Dramatic performances are all the rage in China, notwithstanding the great drawback— the Chinese not possessing any of the estab lished playhouses which are so very munerous in Europe and America. The actors roam and wander about in itinerant troupes, from town to town, and from village to village ; and they hold forth and declaim in booths, erected and adjusted, comparatively speaking, neatly and gayly adorned, and are tempo rary, being subject to their caprice by dis adjustment and removal at the shortest notice. The inhabitants of Cholen recently sent to Canton for a theatrical troupe, at an enormous expense, and a crowded audience, including the local gentry and notabilities, witnessed their first performances. An ex teneive edifiee, coustructed of bamboo and palm leaves, wag erected aeveral days pre• viously to the arrival of the expectant desired Players. The interior of the edifice was filled with benches, rising very gradually from the base of me stage, one above another, and crowded with throngs of Annamite and Chinese spectators, while a privileged few of the audience occupied a raised platform at the side. The theatre was faintly lighted by Chinese lanterns. The Stage received light from anumber of little lainps, which were re pleuished every few minutes by the grave lamplighter of the establishment, who with the utmost nonchalance continually marched along and across the stnge, and in and out among the players, even in the most pathetic passages, and with the greatest indifference throwing the burnt, oily pieces of wick upon the spectators who sat an the pit, as he pre. ceeded on his duty. Close to the stage there were placed a number of chairs and a table, around which the musicians were seated. These performed their functions mostoonscientiously —one especiallya player who seeMedtO em phasize the more striking passages in a higher anti hyper-striking manner. There was no curtain, the only decorations being those of tapestry draped againstthe back of the stage, and two hangings made of magnificent ma terial, concealing the dressingrocim and the wings of the stage. We will not attempt a thorough analysis of the first piece, which lasted nearly two hours, for the very good reason that it was almost impossible to make out anything , of the plot; and, besides the novelty of the spectacle, the rich dresses of the actors, whose costumes were more and more superb at each appearance, and the sin gularity and strangeness of their acting, posi tively' absorbed both the eye and the brain. Nor did the Chinese spectators understand it • better; they learned the meaning of the play solely from • tae. - paavtomime or the nererS. eThilinCierspei,e,c,els,icahrefgevecraanilju,lti r d r e i r tt s e ta n n i d n , 0 6 Is d t o e e e variety of the Chinese dialect is so great that in o h g e a t i e t t y o r s w r h a e r r e e l y t speak err a the a language l).may y of the l lead them.

The scene of the drama was evidently laid in a royal court, judging from the magnificence of the costumes, the gravity of the characters impersonated, and their in terminable courtesies, politeness, and saluta tions, which were enough to drive a nervolle and hasty man almost crazy. Warriors,at tended by pages bearing their banners and the insignia of their nobility, and haughty dames, accompanied by their maids in. waiting, ap, peered successively, as the plot required. Once the entire company, numbering at least forty individuals, was upon the stage at the same time, and without exaggeration my eyes were positively dazzled by the brilliant effect of the cloth of gold, and the silken tassels with the fantastic patterns and bright colors which seeni to be known unto the Chinese. alone. The female parts of the drama were played, its is always the case in China, by young mon, and they were so well trained to their task, that from the gentleness of their movements and their modest mien,. few - would suspect them of not belonging to the fair sex of China. " The drama was followed by a very skilful acrobatic performance, some of the tricks being worthy of Auriol. I have seen as ath letic gymnasts in France, and performers who could perform equally wonderful feats of agility alone, but nothing equal to the mar vellous harmony and rapidity with which these Chinese mountebanks formed them selves into groups and pyramids of humanity. Their feats on the trapeze were. astounding. One of the actors threw his long pig -tail over a wooden bar, held horizontally by four men at arm's length, and seizing the end hauled himself up hand over hand, and remained during several moments suspended thus in the air. `iiiiether climbed to the top of a lot of tables and chairs, piled up to the height of six or seven feet, whence he gave a spring for ward, delivering a violent kick on the stomach of a man standing , on a table facing hint, the shock resulting in throwing both men on their backs—one falling on the ground and the other on the table. One would think that this would break their arms or legs, but not one of the strong muscles of their naked backs seemed to feel the fall in the least. They appeared to be made of iron. nut what Seemed to most please the China men resent, who bud hitherto remained im passibler was a series of military evolutions executed by actors grotesquely dressed and masked, some on foot and some on pasteboard horses, and accompanied by combats and tilt ing matches waged. with the various weapons used in the Celestial empire, such as sabres, lances, tridents, spears, &c. It was a•wonder how they managed not to injure each other, so rapidly . were their mamuuvres executed, and especially as.the din of the musical instru ments, the clash of the cymbals and gongs, supposed to mark time, the reports of the fire crackers whichwere being continually let off, and the scent of the powder,. had kindled an enthusiasm among the audience which ap peared to spread to the actors.), NEW YORK CITY.

Some of the most influential advoCates of the cause are leaders In the movement. The Arational Inteiligencer of Monday pub fishes a long article headed "Rambles Among the Negro Cabins of Washington," from which We make the following extracts: The colored people of this city are an insti tution. The war has poured a great Hood of them upon us. With every advancing step of our armies, gathering up great bales of arti cles that seemed most desirable to them, from their own domicle and from the houses of their masters, they made their way to Wash ington, * * * They came by tens and by hundreds. The old and the decrepit!, the young and helpless, the middle-aged and strong:. On foot they came, and they bore with them their goods and chattels. * * * * * But here tbeY'are, still in our midst ; they throng our streets, they roll our barrels, they lift our bales, they delve in ouruttors, they g black our boots, they cook our food, and we cannot shut our eyes to thefact that they affect as well as permeate all branches of our society. Some Of them prosper, and we find them en gaged in the reular channels of legitimate business, and enjoying the confidence of the community ; but the masses—ah, accompany us in a ramble among their places of domicil, and then answer, do they not demand our early and earnest consideration) The clues otbeir selves, and_ with io n tion is put in a double sense, both with regard t r p e i g .o a l r ) d e oa relatingheir ondt o Pu h a ° m a 8 - relating to the present and future Interests of our city. 'We - find a great portion of them in what are denominated e rows," generally made of the cheapest lumber, and covered with —somefe and 72 by it4a feet a e , e t ud in di divideddimensions, intoi o n , aren apartmentsrented for 114, $5, and fle per room or "cabin" The actual cost of the rooms was from CO to $lOO each (rarely exceeding the latter sum,)and the rents already paid have, in many instances, exceeded the entire outlay in erecting them, On Eleventh street east the cueing aro Co vered with rough sidings, the roofs are of felt and tar, and the floors of coarse, unmatched boards ;but the doors are panelled—a feature quite uncommon. A single room is occupied by a family, and in many instances two or three families arecrowded into the same apartment. The occupants of these rooms and others in that section of the city have hith erto found employment in washing for Lincoln mid Emory Hospitals, in cutting wood for the Quartermasters Department, and working for Captain Krouse. Near the Marine Hos pital, in a most wretchel hovel, lives an old colored woman, who, besides paying her rent of five dollars per month, supports a family of eight children by wasliing. In the vicini ty of G street south, between Fourth and ifth east, there is a group of "rows," some of theta perched upon posts, some consisting of double rows Of rooms some eight by ten feet in dimensions, and all with sunken roofs that freely admit the rain, and all with floors bet ter adapted for ventilation than for keening children from the ground ; and here the price of rent is put at four dollars. Lent's Row on H street south, between South Capitol and. First streets, contains the only rooms plastered or furnished with conve niences for cooking ;but his row on South Capi tol street is as wretched as any in the city.ln the neighborhood of the brick-yards, near the Arsenal, there are a cluster of tenements, and a building , used for a church and school-house, erected by the Scotch Presbyterians. Here rooms are two dollars each, and the children of all this section enjoy the privileges of free day and and Sunday schools. Male and female teachers are kept in constant, employ - ment, and the station called a mission. On and In streets south,- between- Second and. Your and-1141nd streets west,,. Fi' settlement Con taining some, thousands of inhabitants, called Fredeficksburg, and hero thethe occupants own the houses, paying one dollar per month ground rent. They have erected a church of their own, and support a colored pa,stor. Here may be found more evidences of comfort and independence than in any other large set tlement of contrabands in the city. They have shops, and streets, and little gardens, and seem contented with their lot. Many of their houses have attained an altitude of two stories, and paint and verandas ornament not a few of them. At their church on Sunday, there was a goodly display of broadcloth l a' crinoline, and they constitute a sort of . 1.15 V" cracy of color. Farther west the - island is studded with the same se.”. ,cab/uS, and north of the aVerkilk, la the Vicinity of the corrals and the original Contraband Camp, all sorts .ices of them may be found wedged in every conceivable Shape into vacant spaces and yards and alleys. How such a multitude live and obtain clothing is a question for the curious. They have no conveniences for cooking or Washing ; an old broken stove, placed outside on the common, suffices for several families. In many 'instances a rude furnace, built of broken brick, on the top of which is placed a kettle, takes the place of the stove ; and a line stretched out on the common, and watched by the children, is the clothes dger. All day, boys and girls and the old and infirm delve in gutters, among piles of rubbish and cinders, on the wharves, and in the trail of wood and coal certs, for bits of fuel, which they carry, home in old grain sacks that they have picked up about the camps. ipuoir clothing is alsO.gathered to a sweet , "tent in the came manner. Boys of twelve to eighteen may be seen in uniforms of full grown Men. "Soldier-clothes" seem to be the rag - e, regardless of fit Their 'wages and the offerings of the charitable supply them with a bare subsistence ; and thus they live from day to day, without . knowing from what source to-morrow's supplies are come. If such be their summer condition, a - hat are they to do through the coining winter I Their sufferings last winter were most intense; but then there was elnindpao et Glevernmerit employment. 15urtig the nest season" woodcutting, boat loading and unloadin ,> tlriving, hauling - , and labor about the corraia will almost ceasil, add the thousands that were thus employed will be out of work.

The Griffin (Georgia) Union is of opinion that as matters now stand, ministers of the Gospel are alone authorized to administer the marriage ceremony. Their office being eccle siastical, is not affected by putting down the civil government. The Columbus (G a.)Enqitirer of the 14th says: About a dozen bales of cotton were brought in this morning, which obtained ready sale at from 25 to 27c. per pound in currency. Seven teen cents in gold was refused for another lot. We learn that there are buyers from several other States, including some from the North, anti that there is an active inquiry. We do not think the price is yet as high as the article ought to command here, and, we look for au advance. - The following queer paragraph appears in the editorial columns of the Macon Telegraph of the 19th: As a matter of general interest, we state that the United States Government does not claim from citizens the tithes due under the Con federate tax law and undelivered.

I have been often in the drug store he attended; and once, as he was putting up a small package for me, I became so interested in noticing his apish ways that I caught myself on the eve of saying *aloud, "Ton monkey," and found it necessary to melte some remark to hide the thought I had so nearly expressed. When on trial, before bad recognized him as one I had seen else where, that same thought came, What au ape!" And strange, his character, as given on trial, had the fidelity and cunning of the ape. Payne, on the other hand, was all bovine. Once a party of hunters described to me a buf falo hunt, in which they had been engaged three days before in Dacotah: They were elo- Omit in their account of a fierce old bull, who stood to defend his dominion, while his family fled in dismay. They told of his charge first at one and then another of his would-be captors; and of the disdain with which he shook their bullets out of his matted frontlet. I bad not thought of the scene for years until I saw Payne sitting, erect and fearless, among his - captors, and the whole picture then came up like a flash. The swell of the pow erful muscles of the neck, spreading out to the shoulder, tapering in the jaw—the form of the spinal Column from the waist to the top of the bead, straight as an arrow, without that swell behind the ear which is said to indicate the social affection in the human bead—the large, projecting jaw—the jutting brow, sloping forehead and prominence above and a little back of the ear, but especially the large, pale, gray eyes with their spot of white light, was the monarch of the prairie. His peculiar motion in tossing aside his hair added greatly to this resemblance, and I could welt believe his assertion of no malice against Mr. Seward. He simply had a tierce delight in conflict, had been trained to believe that Mr. Seward was trespassing on his grazing lands— his divine tight of owning and flogging , his own slave—and charged at his pursuer like the wild buffalo on the plain. Atzerott was a panther ; the form and car riage of the head, the small green eyes, the motion of hiS hands, the very atmosidiere around hint spoke craftiness, deep and low, cruelty, cowardice. Whatever he did, or pro, posed to do, was for some immediate personal benefit. He could only spring for prey, when he felt assured of success. ,c...mblers in Chi- For seve Al eel° past, we may date from the co, r eacement of the return of Veteran ,—,es fro me ' m the field, there has been a gang of Scoundrels congregated in and around Chica go, whose only purpose and vocation is to fleece of their blood-earned means the noble Men W. 130, fir four years, lledYe stood between us and the enemy as a wad of fire. They have resorted to all the methods imaginable to se cure their purpose—from murder to the more polite and less dangerous method of gambling. The police have done all in their power to break up this gang, and succeeded to a great extent hi driving them beyond the limits of the city, but then they only moved their quar ters to a less exposed and more hierative situ ation—a grove south of Camp Douglas. There they have plied their vocation, - without let or hinderanee—on week days and Sundays—that is until yesterday when a descent was made, - which we hope will have the effect of effectu ally breaking up and scattering the villains, Superintendent Turtle, accompanied by Cap tains Nelson, (lipid, and lienaiedy yesterday forenoon made a reconnoissanee of tite enemy's position, surroundings, and his force, and from this calculation returned to the city about noon when a council of war was held at ho t el. ouar resulting in orders .liat.‘s - given to tee t ree ck,einianciers to muster their several forces ready for instant movement at 2 o'clock. At that hour the three corps marched down and embarked on board of the State street ears, bound for the scene of action. In thirty-fire minutes they were landed within a quarter of a mile of the enemy's camp, where they were joined by a detachment of the Bth Veteran Reserve Corps, despatched by Gen. Sweet to assist in the assault. Pickets were thrown out,. and orders given to forward march. In a very few minutes the advance met and drove the enemy's pickets in eonfasion into their camp, and, with a yell that would //aye done honor to a regiment of veterans, the whole force Charged forward on the double quick, and in less time than it takes to write this paragraph the entire force of the enemy was surrounded and at the mercy of the Fede rals. Some ,few of the "guerillas' , attempted to escape, but were glad to come back when a minis ball was sent whizzing past their heads, as a reminder that they were wanted. The bushwhackers were hastily mustered into line, disarmed, their plunder put into wagons for transportation to the city, and tween flies of policemen marched North. It was a mostiudicrous sight—that cavalcade; as it passed up Michigan avenue, followed by thousands of men, women, and boys, who made all kinds of remarks and suggestions as to the Proper disposal of the prisoners numbering well on to two hundred, men and boys, rang ing in age fromten to sixty years.

The military authority in Tennessee and the whole power of the Government at Washington, will sus tain the State Government in carrying out the policy of the State and General brovernment as long as troops remain on duty in the State, and they will remain here as long as rebels and rebel sympathizers show signs of rebel lion. We state this for the information of all concerned, and we speak by the card when we do speak. We have the late written assurance of General Thomas to this effect; and for the information of those who have been falsely asserting on the stump, and in private, that the President is opposed to the State Govern ment and the State laws recently enacted, we append the following; 'WASHINGTON, July 15, 1865. Governor W. G. Brownlow: I hope you will see—and I have no doubt you will—that the laws passed by the Legislature are faithfully executed, and that all illegal parties are kept from the polls, and that the election of members or Congress is conducted fairly. Whenever it becomes necessary for the execution of the law and the protection of the ballot-box, you will call on General Thomas for sufficient military force to sustain the civil authority of the State. I have Just read your Address (of the 12th instant,) which I most heartily endorse. ANDREW JOHNSON, President of the United States. Gins. GRANT'S WAR Rosen,--The General is peculiarly proud of his stud, but is particular ly so of his warcharger. - To the few friends to whom he unbends he takes great delight in exhibiting his horses. A friend of mine was with Grant one day, and the conversation turned upon horses. " Perhaps," said the Ge neral, " you would like to see the horse I have ridden during all of the campaigns that I have commanded." The General ordered his horse to be brought out. To the surprise of the geu tleman the animal seemed no more than a lady's palfry. Small, slender, with agile limbs, black as a coal, an eye-like a hawk, in telligent, but mild, with the unmistakable " lick" on each side of the mane, not unlike the " cowlick" on a boy's head, looking for all the world like a family pot for women and children. The visitor uttered his astonish ment by saving " Beautiful, but no endu rance." "'Endurance v> said Gen. Grant, "this animal exceeds any horse flesh I ever saw for endurance. I have taken this horse out at daylight, and kept in the saddle tom dark; and lie came in as fresh when I returned as when I saddled him in the morning. Gold could not buy him. He was imported - from a rare bred by Jeff Davis himself. lie was taken from Jeff Davis' plantation." This con versation was held just before Davis was caught. " I suppose," said the visitor, " you would exchange this. horse for Jeff Davis?" "You have said it", said the General," "I would exchange it for the rebel chief, but for nothing else under Heaven." Such is the re nowned war horse of the Lieutenant General. Luoxy AND UNLUCKY.—A young man from Worcester, a private in the 67th Regiment in the battle of old Harbor a year ago, was hit by a ball in the chin, which .badly fracturedthe bone, and tore out several teeth.
