HISCEIXAirIOIIS. Tennessee. —This State has held her elec tion, but the people appear to have mani fested no interest in it. In Nashville the success of the is reported, while throughout the State, according to the telegram, the result is thus far in favor of the Union, “West Tennessee not having been heard from.” West Tennessee never has been in loyalty the equal of East Tennes see, which has suffered much by the war. Nothing Warlike on the Rio Grande. —An official order to General Sheridan to cause all the volunteer white troops arriving in Texas, with which he thinks he can dis pense, to be disbanded, contradicts the re ports that the Government was adding largely to the forces in' that Department. The mus terout will be by entire organizations, includ ing all additions thereto by recruits or other wise. The Chicago Fair. —The committee and managers of the. “ Great Northwestern Sani tary Fair,” at Chicago, after a most animated discussion, have decided to stand by their first awards, which ordered $50,000 paid to the Christian Commission, and the residue of the net receipts to be divided equally be tween the. Soldiers’ Home and the Sanitary Commission, which latter organization was formally dissolved in New York some days since. A Symptom.—A special despatch from Montreal to the Toronto Globe says:— “When the steameT Magnet wis leaving Murray Bay, a large number of Americans being on board, the British and American flags were hoisted. The latter being raised first, created some hissing. Archibald Camp-- bell, of Quebec, sprang on board, ran up the mast, and cut down the American flag. The boat having started, he jumped into the river and swam ashore. The excitement among the passengers, and particularly the Ameri cans, was intense.” Burning op an Oil Well.—Pit Hole, (Pa.,) August 3.—Well No. 19 on the United States farm, on Pit Hole Creek, was de stiyed by fire about seven o’clock this eve ning. The well was finished yesterday, and was flowing about two hundred barrels, but there being no tanks up, the oil was allowed to flow on the ground. Some twenty per sons were standing in and around the derrick, some of whom, it is feared, were unable to escape, as the ground for forty feet around was in one sheet of flame in a moment. Three men are known to have been seriously burned, and they only saved themselves by jumping into the creek. The well is still flowing and the oil burning. North Carolina— Working op the “Leniency” System.—Speaking of the reckless use of the pardoning power in North Carolina, the Raleigh Progress says :—“ This misplaced leniency is making the leading rebels of the State, who are daily receiving pardons, still more defiant and disloyal than before. Comprising the public men of the State, they have all been designated as dele gates to the coming State Convention, which body it is known they will control. The negroes and the Union men are the special objects of their hatred, whose protection de pends entirely upon the enforcement of the Confiscation Law, which disarms only the disloyal, who will be beyond the reach of the Federal authorities as soon as the new State Government is inaugurated. ” We also learn that, in view of this exhibition of disloyalty and vindictive arrogance, the Union men are endeavoring to have_ the call of a State Con vention delayed until after Congress meets. A Raleigh letter of July 27 says:—“Hon. William A. Graham, ex-member of the rebel Senate and the political leader of this State, who is to be a delegate to the coming State Convention, says that under no circumstances will he consent to the return of North Caro lina into the Union if the negro suffrage ques tion is made a condition. J. H. P. Russ, of this city, who has recently received a Federal appointment, and who has been designated to represent this district in Congress and also in the approaching State Convention, defines his position on the slavery question by saying that if he had the power, he would re enslave every slave who is now free. Some of the county meetings which have nominated rebel leaders as candidates to the State Con vention, instruct them to favor by constitu tional or legislative enactment the binding out of liberated slaves to their former masters for a term_ of years. This is the material already designated to represent North Caro lina in her convention and also in Congress.” “The Fayetteville Daily News says that the people of North Carolina will stul tify and degrade themselves by adopting the Constitutional Amendment abolishing slavery, and that the new State Convention must leave slavery where they found it as it existed before the war. Many of the Southern tier of counties, bordering on South Carolina, have instructed their delegates to the State Convention to take this position, and insist to the last on the adoption of the same by that body. Aid for Jeff. Dayis.—The New York Post of August 1 has what professes to be an account of a secret meeting of the friends of Jefferson Davis and his associates, held in that city the previous evening. Several pro minent officials were in attendance, and a committee, headed by Mayor Gunther, was, it was said, appointed to solicit fluids to ob tain counsel for the traitors, and also to de vise measures to hasten on the trial of the parties “so unjustly incarcerated” by the Government. The account also says that all the speakers regarded the failure of the re bellion as only temporary, and thought that the friends of Southern independence need not despond of its final success. It was added that a Mr. Livingston intends to go to Europe to raise funds for the furtherance of the cause. Such was the Pose's account. In the next number there appeared letters from Messrs. P. Y. Cutler and Carlos Butterfield, deny ing a portion of it. They affirm that no such treasonable sentiments as reportsdjvere pro mulgated by the speakers. They met simply to devise means for a “ftill and fair” defence of Jeff. Davis and his associates, and “no thing partisan or sectional” was contemplated by them. Following this comes a sworn affidavit fromßobert Brown, the -Post’s first informant, reiterating the truth of the original statement. The affidavit is long. In it Mr. Brown states that he was present in the council by invita tion; that the whole number present was ten; that they sat with closed doors; that among the things stated was the following • that the effect of the trial of Davis would be a revolution of sentiment everywhere in favor of the South. It would be proved on the trial that the secession cause was right, and entitled to the sympathies of the worid; that in twenty-five years the man that now accuses the South as having committed treason, will be looked upon as a madman and a fool; that the execution of Mrs. Suratt was a cold, de liberate murder; that the court by which she was tried had no legal jurisdiction, and that the execution was a deliberate murder, etc., etc. It does not appear to us that -there was enough of respectability in the meeting to make it one ef much consequence, but if we had Mr. Brown at hand, we should ask, with some curiosity, who ana what he is, that he should have been specially invited to a secret conclave of that sort. The Grates of Andersonville.—Miss Clara Barton, who accompanied Captain Moore on his expedition to Andersonville, Georgia, to give Christian burial to the pri soners who died there, writes the following note to her uncle, James Barton, of Wash ington : Andersonville, Ga., July 12, 1865. Dear Unolb: We arrived here on the 13th, and are now in the active prosecution of our labors. Captain James M. Moore, kindly detailed by General D. H. Rucker to assist me in the performance of our sad, though interesting duties, is now organizing our forces, and preparing the ground for the reception of our heroic dead. Two hundred and seventy-six were recovered _ yesterday from the ground known as outside of the “deadline,” or, as it was generally known to the public, outside of a prohibited line, beyond which they had accidentally strayed for the purpose of procuring a little fresh water! or the roots of shrubs or trees, to allay the pangs of thirst and hunger, and for so doing, were barbarously murdered. The grounds are all selected for the cemetery, and in a few days I will send you a statement for publication, if the editors of Washington think it worthy of publication in their col umns. Your affectionate niece, Texas.—We learn that the Western part of this State is infested with robbers and jay hawkers. Seven railroads are at present in running order. The chief of the Cherokee nation says that his people are _ famishing for bread, and if they do not get it an outbreak will be the result. A Gonzales paper says that the liberation of the slaves has proved advantageous to the people. A Steamer burned at Sea.—We have to record another of the awful calamities, but =this time, thanks to a merciful Providence ! without any loss of life, notwithstanding the great number on. board. The circumstances are these: —The British steamer Glasgow left New York at four o’clock on Sabbath morning, July 30, for Liverpool, with a fulll freight of cotton, cheese, etc., and about two hundred and eighty persons, including the crew. About one o’clock, P.iM., of the next day, the alarm of fire was in the fore part of the ship, and all the second-class pas sengers flocked aft amid the wildest excite ment. Orders were given by the captain that no person should get into the boats with out permission, and that the first man who attempted to force his way into a boat before all the women and children had been taken off shoulji be shot. The order was cheerfully acquiesced in by all the gentlemen in the first cabin. A vessel was soon discovered about eight miles off, and the Glasgow was at once put under a full head of steam towards her, firing guns and flying the signal, “ lam on fire.” The vessel changed her course and made toward the Glasgow, and in the mean time Captain Manning ordered his boats to Jbe lowered, so as to prevent confusion when the time came to use them. He then com menced transferring the passengers to the boats, the ladies ana children first, and then the males. The friendly bark proved to be the Rosamond, Captain F. S. Walles, of and for New York, who received the passengers and crew of the Glasgow with the utmost kindness, and bade them welcome to all he had on board. The passengers were subse quently transferred to the steamer Erin, and brought safe to New York. There is no positive information, but there are several conjectures respecting, the origin of the fire. The prevalent opinion is that of spontaneous combustion of the cotton: FOREIGN. We gave in a postscript, last week, one or two items of news by the Hibernia, from Liverpool, July 20. Another and somewhat alarming paragraph is, that the cholera had broken out in Birmingham. Large numbers of paupers are said to have been attacked. At Alexandria, Egypt, the disease was pass ing- away, only two deaths from it having been reported on the 14th. On the same day, however, at Cairo, there were 156 deaths, but this also was a decline from previous days. Since then the Asia has arrived, bringing two days later news. The passing out of the Atlantic cable has been commenced. Mr. Gladstone, previously defeated at Oxford, had been returned to Parliament by the elec tors of. South Lancashire. Mr. Walter, of the London Times, had offered himself at- Berkshire, and had been defeated. The net Liberal gain to date was 24. It was said at Vienna that all Polish and Hungarian prisoners were to be amnestified. The re ports from Alexandria respecting the cholera, continued favorable. It was also reported as declining in Constantinople. Half of Cassadia a Turkish town, had been destroyed by fire. The loss of life in the conflagration was con siderable ; that of property was estimated at twenty million piastres. Later.—Later arrivals bring Liverpool dates to the 28 th. The shore end of the Atlan tic cable has been laid, and the splice with the ocean end was made on the 23d. The Great Eastern immediately put out to sea, but on the 24th, some difficulty, called by the telegraphers “defect of insulation,” was discovered, the cable refusing to work well. The cable was underrun, and the defect dis covered_ and remedied. - At latest dates everything worked well, and the weather was fine. About five hundred miles had been successfully submerged. We may expect that our next news of progress will come from this side, and it may come any day. The Italian Government has received an official dispatch from the Spanish Cabinet, recognizing the kingdom of Italy, and ex pressing the most friendly feelings towards it. The workingmen of Berlin were having monster meetings at which their rights were discussed; among others, that of meeting to gether in public. The authorities suppressed the banquets which they were to give in honor of the Liberal deputies at Cologne, Denz, and at Nassau. The military dispersed the workingmen quietly, and the public order was not disturbed. _ Mexico. —There are but few items of news since our last. Two of them are rather im- Sortant, and not favorable to the cause of the Republic. One is, that Monterey was occu pied, July 22, by French troops under Jenni gras, who had called for the delivery of all arms held by citizens, and had established stringent rules. The other is that Cortinas had been defeated in an engagement with Lopez, between Metamoras and Camargo, and had fled, to the Texas side of the river, leaving all his forces in the hands of the ene my. We also see it stated that the Constitu tional Governor of Lower California, who was supposed to favor the Empire, had gone to San Francisco. A Franco-Mexican expedi tion was preparing to go to Lower California. The Indians have rebelled against the Gov ernor of Sonora, and military operations against the rebels in Sonora and Sinalva were to commence after the rainy season. As regards the many rumors on the subject oi intervention, the following, which comes well authenticated from Washington, August 6th, ought to be conclusive. The General commanding the Department of Texas is en joined to a strict and faithful observance of the instructions heretofore issued, which require him to forbear from any form of in tervention in the war between France and the sovereign power of Mexico, of which Presi dent Juarez continues to be recognized as the chief.

An_ excursion round the world is being organized at Antwerp. _ The voyage will last two years, and the principal -‘ports in both hemispheres will be successively visited. It is chiefly intended as a means of educational travel for young men. Mrs. Lincoln is living in perfect seclusion at a hotel on the lake shore about eight miles from Chicago. Capt. Robert Lincoln, her son, is studying law jn Chicago, and lives with his mother, coming to town daily.——The long-talked-of international bridge at Buffalo seems about to be realized. Two million five hundred thousand dollars have been pledged for the work, which will consist of a durable and ele gant iron bridge to span the Niagara at that point, as well as for the construction of a grand union depot building, and the seven miles of railway around the city to connect the eastern lines with the bridge. The con tract has been let.- —The Mayor of Ports-- mouth was arrested on the 28th ult., by order of Gen. Mann, commanding that sub-district. The cause of the arrest is said to be some interference with military law or military court matters. Hartford, Conn., was the scene of an atrocious murder on the Ist. inst. The victims, Mrs. Starkweather and her daughter, were horribly mutilated with an axe. A son of uMrs.S., aged 24 years, has been arrested as the murderer. If guilty, the only known motive was to obtain possession of $4OO. President Johnson, still in feeble though improving health, has recently made a trip to the Rip Raps, and thence up the Chesapeake Bay. Secretary Seward, with a party of friends, spending-a few days at Cape May, last week steamed up to this city and back in a revenue cutter, vpthout landing* He did not feel up to the effort of encounter ing even an informal reception. Gen. Grant, with his family, has been making the tour of New England. His progress was one continuous ovatibn. Among the trophies which he has brought away is an LL.D. from Bowdoin College. It would not be amiss for him, just at this moment, to try his hand with it at Richmond. _ He doctored them there once, but the patient has relapsed. DBITED STATES CHflISTiy EOMMISSIOS.

ORDERS WILL BE RECEIVED FOR OUR NEW SOCIAL HYMN AND TUNE BOOK; THE LECTURE BOOM, PRAYER-MEETING, FAMILY CIRCLE, MISSION CHURCH. 513 PAGES. 16 HO. THE “SOCIAL HYMN AND TUNE BOOK” is an endeavor to give, in a volume of modem sise, the best hymns and the best tunes. The Hymns are mainly drawn from the “ Cfourch Pmlmiet," with such additions, solected and original. as have the stamp of merit. These hymns are ar- ranged under leading topics andin logical order. The topics are indicated by right-hand headings in shall capitals, and will be found systematically arranged at the close, in an Index; the logical order of the hymns is indicated by italic right-hand headings, wad. under the two extended topics. “ Christ” and “Chris- tian Life," is farther indicated by subordinate divi- sions in the “ Index of Topics.’ ’ The Tones, carefully selected and carefully adapted to the hymns, are fitted, it is believed, both to express the sentiments of sacred song and to kindle, in pious hearts, the flame of devotion. They are old tunes chiefly, with such approved new ones as the ehnrch will not let die. The Tenor and Bass have been given on separate staves, at some expense of space and cost; but to many singers this arrangement will prove helpful and acceptable. While the collection is primarily designed for social worship, it is well Baited to the use of the family and of the great congregation, IN HUSUN, SHEEP, MOROCCO, Sent by Mail for these prices.
