If a man is down, tick bitn, push him, strike him anything to help Lis downward proyres?. Facitin deccnsHS avemi: let's make it so much the easier lor the poor devil who is treading that downhill road. That is the logic ot the woild. Let me toll you a Ptory to prove It, Charles Vernon Culver was at the head of one of the most snccesetul banking-bouse.1- iu .New York. A resident of Franklin, Venango county, Pennsylvania, the very heart of the Oil Heron's, lie naturally turned his attention toward that country, and devoied his energies to its develop ment, lie established banks, built railroads, luid the foundation of towns. The town of Reno nad its birth in Mr. Culver's brain. A company was formed, wboe rrMdont was the Hon. Galtnha A. Grow, ex-Spfakerof the Home, with Mr. Culver as Vtcc-Prcident and Director, to develop the natural resources ot Uie npih borhood, to build up the town, and to make it the centre of an extensive oil and lu inner trathc all of woich promised to be broucnt about a no distant day. Of this company Mr. Culve was the motive spirit. He protected the Reno Oil Creek, and Piiholo Railroad, which should drain the Oil Regions ot their oleaginous pro ouot. by furnishing a short cut to a market; and in this road were a large portion ot his asset bound up when misfortune came. "You know what Burns says about the best-laid schemes of mice and men. Mr. diver's plan were good, but some of them went aeley. He wnsbimsflt a man of the purest morality, wiih none of the personal vices which drain at the bunehole what is saved at the spiiror. He wa generous many a charitablo society has had occasion to thank God tor the bounty of C. V. Culver. There is a church in process of erection in this city on land donated by bim. He built and presented to Allegheny Colleee a boarding house, costing $20,000. His was the money that has started many a poor man in business, and alas for the ingratitude ot the world ! some r f these once poor men are the loudest In reviling him now. JIr. Culver is M. C. from tha Twentieth Dis trict ol Pennpylvania, comprising tho counties of Crawloid, Vecnntro. .Mercer, and Clarion. This ollice was greatness thrust upon him. He did not want it olleied $20,00: for party uses if the Congressional confreres of the lour counties would not present his name lo the people; but there was a bitch in the county nominations which precluded ihe selection of any of the regular nominees, and he was selected as the harmonizing candidate. He was persuaded to acpt the nomitiation, which he di J with ereat reluctance, tor his head and his hands were so full os business schemed that he had no time for politics. The general dulne$s of the oil trade, and other causes, conspired to lock up a large por tion ot the assets of Culver, Penn fc Co. In an inaccessible foim; and the lirin learned it must suspend operations, lor a time at least, when thev hoped the storm wouM blow over and they could resume payment, with the public confi dence in tt.eir integrity unimpoired. On the day olthe failure. General Btirnslde and auotln-r gentleman 6at iu Mr. Culver's private ollice. They knew the wants of the tirm; $i;2,000 would carry it saicly through the day. They volun teered that siim ; they urge J its acceptance upon the bead ot tho tirm. "No," said Mr. Culver, 4-I can give you no security lor it. If I take it anM it will not i-avc us, it is lost to jcu. It would be ruiimng too great a risk, and I cannot so wrong you." They urged; he steadily refused. The olock struct; bunk hours were over; Cul ver, Prnn A Co.'s notes were protested ; and the telesraph flushed the news of their failure to every part of the country. A meeting of the creditors was soon alter held in this city, where siuu kind of an arrange ment was entered into for the satisfaction of their clii'ros. With that, however, we have nothing to do. Hoon alter this, Mr. Culver went to Rcuo, which is only four or five miles troni Franklin, his place 01 residence, aid gave his attention to the completion of trie Keno. Oil Creek, and Pit hole Railroad, which was held by a capitalist of New York as security lor moneys loaned to the ijim ot Culver, Perm & Co. He had hardly begun upon this before he was arrested at the suit ol State Senator Thomas Hoee, on a charee conspiracy with iutent to defraud. Ho obtained hail and went on with his work. Hone brouaht suit alter suit till his patience was exhausted, ana then turned the worrying proce-s over to Jun es fc. Mers, a cundioate lor President Judge of this District, who continued it in tho fame manner. These were both directors in tho Venango Bank of Frunklin, whose funds were involved In the Culver failure. There has been a great Lne-and--ry that Mr. Culver obtained the bonds of the Petroleum anil Venango Banks from the office of the Auditor f? "Tie nil, where, according to law, thev had been deposited, by fraudulent means; but the fact i, that for every dollar"s worth of bonds taken from the And tor-Gencial's ollice, duly cancelled hills of the banks were returned, und tue Don. it were only received by Mr. Culver for the re demptiou'of those bills. On Saturday a bench warrant was ismed directing Mr. Culver to go ino insolvency under bonds ot $100,()CO. He had obtaiued bail, when he learned that other warrants were out, the intention being to badger him and bait bim till he should turn to bay, when tho hunteis would get a firm hold upon Dim. He determined that the end had come, and that he would seek and accept no more buil; but go to jail at once and a a ait trial. His wife, an invalid, resolved to share his imprisonment, and went to jail with him. And this Christian gentleman lies in jail, the victim ot malignity and persecution; while his enemies circulate over the country false charges of swindling and fiaud, not one 6t which tn?y can prove He may have been lmprndent in bui-mess transactions; he may have ventured too iar into speculation: but the man does not live who can prove anything criminal iu his past life or transactions. JV, lr, Tribune. The Field of War In Germany In tracing the movements of tho armies in Germany, writes a correspondent, it should be remembered that there are three, rivers of the name of Neisse. TLey are all, euher directlv or indirectly, ailluenU of the Oder, and ar there fore not unlikely to be confounded with oue another. The most westetly ot the three is that which flows imst Gorlitz. It rues In Bohemia, paeses by Zittau, forming near thut town the defile by which Napoleon iu 181.1 penetrated into Bohemia, flows by Ostritz, Goili Priebus, and Muckau, communicates with the Spree by theCottbus Canal, and Anally fulls intitne Oder. The nevt river ot this namo towards the Eat is an affluent ot the Kntzbach. itself an affluent of the Oder. This Neise is distinguished as the Wutheude, or racing Neisse.

The President was seized last night with severe indisposition, the result of the unpeccdemedly hot weather. lie has tieen closely confine! all day. seeing no on but General Grant, who called to pay his re spects pievious to leaving ton. rKOBADI.E VETO OP TniB fBBEDMEN'S BUREAU BILL, The President will probably to-morrow send to Congress a message accompanying a veto of tho new r'reedmerfs Bureau bill, recently rasped by both brar.ches of Congress. The messase has occupied the closest attention ot the Presi dent for the last lew days in its preparation, and will doubtless be a full and exhaustive argu ment ol 'he points at insue between Congress and the Executive on tho policy to be pursued towards tne freed people at "the South. It is not now considered likely that the bill can be made a law without the approval of the Prasi dent. CAUCUS OF THE RADICAL MEMBER' OP CONGRESS. A joint caucus of the radical members of the Senate and House is to be held tomorrow evening, to see what plan can be fixed upon to curb the President during the recess, and to fix upon the time of adjournment. The exceedingly hot weather is telling severely on tho staying qualities of Ccneressnien, and they begin to evince the greatest anxiety to get away ; but it is by no nieans probable' that an adlburnment can be eflecled under two, and perhaps three wceKs. The House has not completed the Tariff bill, although it ha be-u before them more than two weeks. The Senate will doubtless require as much time for iu consideration, and will then send it back materially altered in its character. One or two important appropriation bills yet await action; also the army bid, upon which the House to-day insisted upon its position by returning the Senate bill, with Schenk's House bill substituted. The Mexican lonn busi ness yet hanes tire in both Houses, and a large number ot private bills, so that three weeks will be short time in which to close up the work of the session. Moreover, if the caucus to-morrow iiiyht shall result in any eeiious effort to restrain the exercise of proper and legitimate executive authority during the recess, it will awaken serious controversy. The expected veto ot the Freedmen's Bureau bill will also call for action that will tend to protract the term. THE CASE OF PAYMASTER PAULDING PROBABLE RUITURE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND SECRE TARY Of WAR. Matters between the Secretary of War and the President, growing out ot the Paulding case, border on a rupture. It seems that the sentenc ot the Court imposed a fine of five tuousaud dul lars upon the delinquent paymaster, dismissed him from the service, and ordered him into close continement for one year. The Secretary ol War reviewed and approved the proceedings, rindinir, and sentence, and ordered that Pauld ing be confined in Fort Mclleury. The friends ot the prisoner at oneo set to wo.-k to mitiarate what to them seemed an unduly hard case, they contending that be was merely guilty of a tech nical violation of orders, though still abiding hy the spirit of the existing regulations. An appeal was made to dir. Stan1 on an Saturday, who took the interlerence in high dudgeon, exciaiminir, "What! htsn't the prisoner et bren sent away?" and iuimeointely wrote au order direct ing that he be sent to Fort Mc Henry by the 4 o'clock P. M. train that day. His Irieuds re doubled their crlortH on this outburst, and. rein forced by the two Senators from New Yors and other influential tnea, waited upon the Presi dent. The result of tho interview and showing made was au older from the President to the Secretary ot War, directing a stay of oroeeedings until the Bureau of Military Justice could review the case and report to him. This order was 6ent to the Secretary at 2 P. M., but that oilicer found It convenient to be absent during tho atternoon from h's oflice, and consequently tne orders he had previously issued were carried iiito execution yesterday. It was ascertained that Paulding had been sent away, wheu the President issued au order directing him to be returned here immediately, and this morinntr the same oflieer who escorted him to his confinement started to bring him hue. Pnuldinir has disbursed live hundred millions ot dollars during the war, and his accounts have never exhibited the slightest sym ptoins of wrousr. This is the tirst instance in which his conduct Iihs been questioned, and iu this case he followed the -universal precedent of depositing hts money in a national panic, ana lost it. in no possioie way could lie oe a painer oy it. nonce nis friends attribute personal motives to the Secre tary of War to account for the hostility wi'.h which he has pursued tho unfortunate man, aud cite lustiuiceB to show where this hostility origi nated. Whatever may be the cause of it, Stanton is very cross at the President lor interfering in the matter, and swears he will make a tow about it. Three paymasters who testified on the court- martial In dotensc and justification of Pauldinj's act, were to-day dismissed the service by order of the Secretary of War, Among these was Colo nel Robert Dodge, chief of a bureau In the pay department one of the oldest and most trust- worths officers in tne iaie service. Another was ordered dismissed, when it was discovered that he had resigned a week ago. GOVERNOR BROWNLOW IN HIGH DUDGEON.

OBITUARY. Tho I.ato Mr. Gore Brace Sketch of bin Ufo and Fonral. The funeral of the late Mr. Georee Bruce took place last evening lrom Grace Church, corner of Broadway and Tenth street. At o'clock the cortege armed at the church, where the remains were rtceived by a large number of friends. The body, inclosed in a splemlid silver-mounted rosewood casket, was deposited underneath the pulpit, when the impressive funeral service of the Episcopal Church was read by the Rev. Mr. Morgan. At the conclnsion of the ceremonies a proces slou, which consisted of a delccarion of the Hew lork Typographical Society and the friends of the decea-ed, ws formed in the church, and th body taken to the hearse and conveyed to Greenwood Cemetery. The principal pall bearers were Mr. Horace Greeley, Mr. Thomas Ewbank. Mr. John M. Dodd, Mr. Peter C. Cor icijou, and Mr. Dalton, of Uoetcn. At a meet ing of the Typographical Socety, on Saturday evening last, the President, Mr. C. C. Savage, am ounced the demise of Mr. Bruce, one of the honorary members, at the age of 8ti, and gave at the same time the following skctcn of the life ot this eminent type-founder: "On Thursday, July 6, an honored member of this society passed away from earth at the advanced age ol fourscore "and a quarter years. Gcorec Bruce, a man long known amoiie the printers not only ot this country but of tne v. orld, is dead. Having had a favorable oppor tunity of kno-vine the history ot the deceased, I bIihII oiler a lew remarks respecting him. His lite was parallel with tne history aud develop ment of printing in this country, which has made such immense progress dining the last sixty years. To tho advancement of typography he devoted his srenius, labor, aud means with untiring assiduity, and received in return not only a liberal reward, but the nobler gratifica tion ol having found the art ot printing insig nificant, type founding undeveloped stereo typing unknown, and power presses not con ceived, and retired from life with the press the mightiest power ot the earth. In all this change he was an active participator, and had his tull share in bringing the art to its present perfection. 'Mr. Bruce was born in Edlubureh, Scotland, in 1781. He left his native laud in his 1 4th year, urnving in Philadelphia m 17H5. Here he worked as a printer's apprentice for three or lour years. The yellow fever appeaiine, he came lo New York, and worked with his brother David. The suite of the trade at the openice ot the present century can be best understood by a few 1acU. '"In 1789, four type-founders supplied all the tpe required tor the priming otiiees of Great Britain aud the United Slates, producing aboiu 600 lbs. of typo a week, a quantity sufficient to print the largest newspapers at that time; as 1000 copies being a larpe circulation, a font, lusred lor several years. The first tvpe foundry in America wa9 begun in Philadelphia in 179G, about the time Mr. Flruce arrived inthalcirv, by Archibald Binny and James Ronaldson, from hif native city. Ac the time there were some 150 printing and newspaper offices in the coun try. They imoroved the Uucrlish method of hand casting, which increased their facilit'ie nearly 60 per cent. In 1805, a small foundry, was started in Baltimore by Samuel Lower Co. In 1811, Elibu White, who Lud done some thing at malum; type in Hartford, came to New York, and established the tirst foundry iu this city. This foundry lias continued to expan t from that time uutil the present, end is well known in the trade. 'But to resume our history of Mr. Bruce. In 1800 David and Geoive Bruce opened a book printinc ollice in New York. There were less than three hundred book and newspaper oitiees in the whole Uuiou. They received a fair sham of wort, both being practical printers, and able to set type, make up a form, beat tne b ills, or pull the press. They occasionally printed aud published a work on the:r wn account. It was not uriUHiial at. tLat and asiilllaier pertod tor printers to obtain work by taking a book to tho several booksellers and get'.iui; tnoui to order a certain number ot copies. When the requisite number wcie secured, the book was printed, with each bookseller's name on the title-page oi the copies he tiad ordered. "Iu 1x12 David Bruce went to England. Lord Stanhope had recently aiscovered the art of stereotyping. David purchased the secret aud learned the process. Iteturniuar the next yeur to New Yoik. tho brotheis mudo their arranae- ments to introduce the process here. Typo nail heietotore Deen cast witn a Devened shoulder, ai d this was so low that it luteiiered with th; mould-m: and weakened the plate.

Thtso were tho first school eduions ol the i)il)le and New Testament issued in Amenra. The following year, 1810. the American Bibl Society wus louuded, aud tL?y stereotyped some ot tneir nrst issues. "About 1825 tho firm Mas dissolved. His brother retiring lrom the business altosethcr, and George relinquishing the printing and eterenivphipr department', devoted theeuereie of his subsequent lite to improvim?, enlarging. aud creat'ms variety aid valuable additions to the supply oi pi iu tors' wants. At this time there are some 3(),uou distinct types, ornaments, cuts, etc.. in his catalogue. "Soon alter Mr. White opened his foundry, ho inxented a machine for cast ug twenty or thirty t.vpe at once. But alter spending large sums in eiloits to peilect it, he was compelled to aban don the idea, sondity aud t-harpuess ot hair line could not bo obtained in that direction Mr. Bruco, his nephew, David Loturon, aud Mr. Jo:n.-on, ot Philadelphia, also spent rarniv years ani large amounts in the same etlbrts without satisiactory results. In the meanwhile rapid advance had been made in other depart ments ot ecienoe, ' iloilroads were snanuini the land, tho tele graph bad become an established tact, ocouu navigation had proved a success, cheap public tions were called for by the million, newspaper edi'ions by the hundred thousand, aud power piesfeshad been inventel to supply the demand. Tho old hand method ot type-casting could not fiai i-f'v the call for type. Just at this emergency three distinct patents were ii-sued lor type-cast- inrr machines, tnd. Mlth subsequent improve-. meats, have etlected the long desired object of securing rapidity iu casting, combined with, sharpness and Eolidhy of tho letrers. At tho present time about 30,000 pounds of type lire cr weekly iu the United States to supply tlio S00J or 4000 newspaper and book ollices of tho country. - in addition to tbu home demand, Mr, Bruoe's foundry has been the source of supply for mobt ot South America and the West India Islands. ' I "He was ever anxious to enhance the Interest 'of 'he trade, eitacr-nicchahlenl or moral. Hi) took a warm interest in the welfare ol our So. clety, and frequently iuquned how we were prospering. He wus ihe tirst aud largest patron ol the Printers' Library, and oirored a liberal subscription towards a fund for its permanent endowment. His own library was ncn, ctm taming a large numher of rare works of the earliest period of black letter print, with illu minated initials, and also in MS. ol the same character of an earlier date. During the exist ence of the Mechanic' Institute, and the earlier years of the American, he was au active member, and at their meetings he frequently eave Inte resting and instructive talks on some mechanical subject. "Several years since he desired to stimulate inveniive genius to the production of a Dower prens that ehouU do lorUie country papers what Hop's Tdghtnina' has done for the laree dailies a press that should be comparatively inexpen. sive, economical, and rapid. He offered a band some premium to the successful inventor. Several new presses were the result. "Wo have already referred to the many novel ties and improvement introduced into the trade in the presentation of new styles of type, borders, etc., to elevate the standard of excellcnee, and facilitate the execution of work. Many of these were of his own invention, the punches cut, and the matrices fitted up by his own bands. Ho wus never so happy as when he could leave the details ol business and sit quietly at the bench in th private offic, derl.unif and cuttinir some thing new in typographical art. This he con tinued to do (with his daily walk of a mile or two) until near the cloe of his life, wnn his evesight failed, and he was compelled to abandon both. 'I well remember his reply on my alluding to this rot lorigl since: 'Ye. Mr. Savage. I have had to quit the bench, and when I cannot walk any more my lite will be of little value to any one. I shall then be near my end.' And now his life bas gone out Into the higher IPe. I kue him for over thirtv vears. twpntv-Hvp of it as apprentice and employe was passed as his tenant in the foundry bulldinir. It Is. therefore, with the knowledge these jears impart that I spoak or what he has none to advance our Hrt, or his personal character and worth, aad the repect that should be entertained for his memory." j. r. urtuune. THE CHOLERA. Automatic MoTmaM af a Pt!nt after Ural b A TrrrifUd ludertaker iitl zrn Alaimcd. One of th most singular cases of cholera which has occurred iu the city at any tlnn. came to light recently at the Westchenter House, corner of Broome street and Bowery. James Hay ward, who wis at the house named, took suddenly sick. A doctor was called In to attend him, who pronounce! it a case of cholera, whereupon Doctor Siglsmnod Waterman, tho Police Surgeon, was called upon about 12 o'clock (noon). Wben he arrived, some three- quarten ot an hour alter ward, the man was dead. Shortly thereafter the undertaker was sent lor, and upon his arrival to measure and lay out the body, heiusiied lrom the aourtmcnt in a paroxysm of terror, saying, "The mau is livina the man Is moving 1" Dr. Waterman was again called in, when he lound that th body had not been resuscitated, but was merely undergoing some automatic movements not unknown to strict observers ot cholera cases who have given tbo wor'd the benellt of their experience iu their writings. Dr. Waterman said that the involuntary motions ot ihe body consisted of contraction ot the mus cles and sinews ot the arms and twitching t tue eyelids a condition ot tnings which, arnougn he had not boiore oberved persouallj, he nad read of such cases under like circumstances. The movement referred to indicated the so ind ness of the mdgment of the pnysiciau who had declared it a case of cholera. This occurs in rases where patients die of spasm, a notable leature in cholera cases, and when the contra.v tions caused by the spasms, or the cause of death, causes the muscles to relax. The ut j- roatic action related, therefore, was merely tais movement consequent uoon death from spasms. in miB cu.-p rneuean n am nan ruiscu uis arms, and his ilngerB were piuchma his breast 'hree quarters ot an hour after death. The undertaker told Dr. Waterman that his heart beat, nut ha saj s that the undertaker was evidently so Iright encd that be could not tetl any reliable story. It aopears that ull through the choiera of 1819, no Mich case as this was recorded as having taken place in this city, yet the books tell ot bodies turning over on the be i and in their co-lins a loug'tinie utter death; hence fne many wicked stories and theories of ignorant person about patients being buried alive. Dr. Elisha Harris, who is no mean autnoritv, says that tne auto matic motions of the body alter death are very comu.on in cases ot tho Eastern plague. N. Y. Commercial Adotrlisnr. A .Nursery ol Peuil Oysters. It appears from au official report to the Madras Government, on the establishiu"ut ot an experimental pearl oyster nursery at Tuti corin, India, that a series of experiments is in progress there under the superintendence of Captain Phipps, with a view of improving the pearl fisheries of that presidency, Ca;)taiu Phi pi) s will be supplied with six aquaria ot the most improved construction, fitted wiih dark chambers, and provided with acistern and barrel force pumps, so as to tnsuro a constant current of water. In addition to these, a microscope arranged for the observation ol aquatic objects will alo be furnished, iu order that tho food of the pearl oyster tlsh, the phe nomena connreted with the lormati-m of "spat," ".be duration of life, the time of spanning, aad the true cause of the formation of pearl-, may bo carenilly observed. One of the ob jects which the Ma Iras Government ha; iu view is to ultimately establisu pearl nurse ries iu various parts of the presiloncy. ju-rt hs at some pares ot the coa-.t, of England and France bed9 have been established for the at-i i1 c'nd breeding of the common oyster. Men orac tlcally acquainted with the subject are convinced that artificial nurseries are the only means Dy which remunerative pearl fisheries can bs in sured. Dr. Kelaart, who made numerous in veftieations in Ceylon, and who is quoted as an authority in these matters, says that he "sees to reason wby pearl oysters should not live and breed iu artificial beds like the edible oysters, and jleldalurge revenue." In the course ol numerous experiments in Cevlon this gentleman ascertained that pearl oysters are more tena clous of .lie than any other bivalve which be knew; that they can live in brackish water, aud survive in such shallow places thut thev must be exposed lor two or three hours daily to the sun. It would appear, therctore, that'the pro babilities of successfully ruising pearl oysters are much greater than they are iu rearing oy.'ters of tbo common kind. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
