Thanks to martial law and the presence of troops, the city in comparatively quiet. The Bebel press, arraitl of the coneedueucos of tho.rlot, are attempting to shift the blame on the nrproes, when it Is well known the police, tho fire department, and thines generally were organized for the oarpose f roaPHHcnntt the meuiot-rs of tbe Convention and other Union men. The limes, a notorious Rebel fheet. snys: To fee negroes mutilated and literally beaten to death as they howrht to escape was one of tho most horrible pictures it has ever been our 111 fbrtune to witness." A military commission, of whith the eallnnt Mor-Goneral J. A. Mower is President, has been organized to tnvestiqate and report upon all fnots connected with tho Jute riot. The following telegraphic correspondence ex plains itsi'lf: Win Department, July 21 To his Kxcol'ency Governor Weils: I havo t.ren advised that von haro iasned proclamation convening the Convention elected in 1804. l ipase iniorm mo under and by what authority this has been done, and by wiiat authority this Convention can assume to represent the whole people ot the Mate of Louisiana' Akdeiw Joassoif, The Governor's reply Is aa follows: Ktatk or Louisiana, Kx&cutiv Department, Xw uui.kanb, July i'i. to bisExoclljncy Andrew Johnson, i'reaident ot the United States: Your teletrrain is received. I have not Issued any ordor contemns- the Convention ot 1861. iho Convention was leconveued bv the presidcut of that body, by virtue of a resolution author zlng him to do so, and in that event lor htm to call on the prop r oilioi-ri of tho Btate to issue writ of election lor Ieio.rutj iu unrepresented parishes. My proo amutiou w.w iesued in response to that call. As soon as vacancioj can bo ascertained, they will bo lillod, and thun tlio whole btaie will ue represented in the Convention. J. madihon WtLLS, Governor. The telrpram of the Prc-ident to Sfcorney tReneral llerron is ret'ardcil us a virtual over throw ot the Constitution of the State, sup t seding tho Governor, who. by article 5:j of the Constitution, is charged with seeing the la.vs executed. Ihe Bebel General Herron is, thnre lore, militarv dictutor, and, by Presi lent John son's order, the troops are placed at bi3 disposi tion. Union men are preparing to leave the State en manse, under tho Impression that the Coverumeut will not protect them. General Sheridan bus returned, and will sustain mar.iiil law until after a thorough examination is made by the commission, tinlcss, as is (eared, the City Government is given back to the Kebel mar tlerers of our Union men by the President's orders. Mayor Monroe's letter of the 2,'th tilt, to Gene ral Baird in reference to the Convention, is pub lished, he says it is his intention to disperse this unlawful assembly. General Caird replies in a lenethy letter, and says: "I cunnot understand how the Mavor of a city can undritake to decide so important and deli cate a question as the leeal authority upon whirh a Convention claiming to represent the people of an entire State bases its action." Governor Wells has appi'ed for military pro tection, his life having oceu threatened. The I'reMrtent'K Position Repotted leam vf Governor Wells. Washington, August 1. The Psesident has placed Attorney General Herron in charge of the civil allairs of Louisiana, Governor Wells "being reported dead, and Lieutenant-Governor Ynorbres not beiug considered competent, rommissioners will 6c appointed from members of the mercantile business men to investigate the causes and results of the late riot. As there are over thirty prominent Rebel Generals in business in New Orleans, a selection will doubt less ne maue trom them. Editor King, ot the New Orleans Tinws, had a long conference wih the President this morning, and reports Mi. Johnson as fully understanding the whole alliur. The animus of his message to "Mayor Monroe of la--t niftbt, indicates how far the President accords wit n the loyalists of that city. JV. Y. Tributie. The New Law Concerning Stamps. ITS PROVISIONS.

THE DAILY EVENING TkLEGjlATn.-PniLADELrniA, THURSDAY, OBITUARY. John Rm. John Ross, or Kooweskoowe, Chief of the Cherokeo Indians, died In Washington yester day, lie was a hall-breed, and at an early age acquired a good English education. In 1H17 and 1819, the time the State of Georgia attempted to induce the Indians to remove west ol the Missis sippi, a liberal bribe was offerc I fur this purpose to Ross bv Mcintosh, a Creek half-breed Indian, but it was reliised. The proceedlnes of the Georgia Legislature with reference to the Chero kees, in 1829, led to an appeal on the part ot the Indinns. Hoss acting as their aptent, to the Su preme Court ol the United States, which re sulted in a deciion in their favor. Georeia, how ever, refused to obey, and aggressions upon the Indians Increased. In 1835 a treaty was concluded between ,.F. F. Schermcrborn, an agent of the United States, and Major Kidge, his son John Ridge, Ellas Boudinot, and about six hundred other Cherokee Indians, including men, women, and children, by which the Indinns agreed to sur render their binds and remove West within two years. Against this treaty known as the New Echota, Ross and over live thcusanl of his tribe proteslcd. In an appeal written by Ituss, aud addressed to the President of the United States, as having been fraudulently obtained. The Government, however, sent a force under Gene ral Scott to compel the fulfilment of the treaty, The Cherokcoe yielded, and, with Ross at their head, removed to their new home. Moderate allowance was made tbem for their losses by the Government, and after years of suffering they became a prosperous nation. Ross con tinued to be the Chief ot the Cherokee? tor several years. In 18(11, alter some hesitation, he entered into a treaty with the Confederate authorities, but.it has been stated that he wus at hi'tirt loyal to the Government, and his business in Washington was for the purpoe of pressing claims npiunst the Government lor losses during the war. The Snider Rifle. The new Snider rifle appeal's, from nil ac counts, to be the most perfect weapon yet pro duced lor infantry use, and its advantages may be summed up as follows: 1. The bret'ch-loadiuic arrangement is most simple the breech is opened and shut in two motions, whereas the Prussian neudle-gun re quires five. 2. The converted Enfield will be superior in every rei-pect; live rounds per minute is the average of the Prussian ritly, eleven. ? iit'lceu per minute tuut of tue English. Suidor. 3. The ammunition prepared by Colonel Boxer, Royal Artillery, is simple and effective; it dom not loul or heat the ri lie, and does not deteriorate by time or transport, as is the case in the Prus sian system. It has also exhibited extraordinary powers of resistance1 to damp; it seems to be capable ol standing almost any amount of rough usage, and to enjoy a perfect immunity lrotn niias-nres. 4. Ihe Snider-Enfleld is capable of being dis charged, not "eight or teu times in a minute," as hiisbeeu taid, but fifteen; its accuracy of fire is nut much below that f the best stnall-boic rilie; it is incalculably superior to that of the overpraised needle-gun. 6. The accuracy of shooting ot the Snider rifle over that of the Enfield, taking an average of all ranges up to 10UO yards, is us 30 per cent., and the relative rapidity of lire of th two arms i, in round numbers, about as 5 to 1; and in freedom trom fouling, its non-liability to dete rioration by bad weather, and in facility ot manipulation, the Snider rule has proved itself remarkably superior to the unconverted arm. The following rough general description will convej a go"d Idea of the new arrangement in the Sniderritle: "A portion ol the upper side of the breech end of the barrei is cut out lor the admission of the cartridge. This vacant space is closed after loading by a lump of steel the 'breech-stopper' or 'luccch-piece,' which hinges upon one sme of tne barrel, and forms a false breech, a;aiust tne face of which the lack end of the cartridge rests; the barrel is, in fact, shortened to this ex tent. A plunder or piston transmits the blow of the hammer through the stopper to the cap of tho curtrlugc, which Is withdrawn after bring by a little instrument which forms part of tho Btopper. The cartridge is on tne central hre system, and exbibitB no special novelty of couUructlon in mis respect, the ordinary ar rangement having merely b.-en slightly mo.ti lied to increase the safety ot the ammunition, and to ensure against miss-tires. The most salient novelties "are the cartridge case and the bullet. Ai legards the former, the object has been to piovlde a case which shall uncoil or unwind to a certain extent on discharge; and this object is attained by rolling thin sheet brass into a hollow cylinder, upon a suitable former. One end of the cylinder bts into the mi'tal cap which forms the back cud of the car tridge, the other end receives the bullet, into the hinder cunnelure of which it is choked. The brass case is covered either with paper or calico, and rendered completely waterproof by wax or vaiukdi. The nature of this outer case, however, is of secondary importance, the desired end beiug obtained by the arrangement of the interior case, which on discharge, however dis figured, uncoils to thcdimciisious of the chamber, and alter discharge has a tendency slightly to contract and facilitate the withdrawal ot the empty case." The Island of Yalentia. The Island of Valentia, the Irish terminus of the Atlantic ahle. is about six thousand acres in extent. It has three proprietors, of whom the Knight of Kerry is the chief, the others being Trinity College, Dublin, and Colonel Her bert of Muckross. The populauou is abo.it two thousand: but, although the Ku put is a sta'tucu Prote&tant, his co-religionists do not number more than one hnndred and fifty. The harmony of this little community (says a correspondent of the London Mar) is. however, undisturbed by relisrious discord. The old priest, who is now between eighty and ninety years of age, has had charge ot the parish for half a century, and bis watchword has always been "Peace." The averase value ot land is about fifteen shillings an acre. Much more of it is used tor grazing purposes than for cultivation, the prin cipal niticle manufactured being butter. Most ot the cottages are 6lmply ta-tid hovels; but there is a considerable number of a better class. and the peasur try have a well-fed, comfortable apoearauce. They owe uiuctt to the Knight, wno ppenris nearly the whole ot the income he derives from this property in Improvements aud lu giving employment to the people. He is reeurded with a feudal reverence tempered by modern manners, ins traditional title gives Mm no precedence at court, but his aucieut linsare really plac s him tar before the mushroom crtatiou of yesterday. The late Knight, who wai a frolc,e of Lord Ca'tlereagh, and a distinguished politician, being once addressed as "my lord" bv an officious servitor, impatiently replied: "Don't call mo lord; I don't wish to be anything ol the kind." Perhaps he remembered the Arab juovtrb, ' The dog when he has money must be called, 'My lord, the dog.'" It Is pleasant to be able to reconcile these relics of feudalism with the humanizing claims ot modern civilization. It is rleasaut also to find that the tiaccoon Das been heie three months without di-covenug a single Icnlan; and that although yesterday I saw the Feuiun ting the harp and the sun ou ti ground of green - hoisted ou a skirl', thU was done more iu bravudo than iu earnest, au 1 proves by its sinenlurty that this Imbecile form of dislojulty is altogether except! 3nal in Valentia and the adjacent mainland. Oenebal R. E. Lee's Father. We find in many ol our exchanges a statement that "th remains of Richard Henry Lee, the father of General Robert li. Lee, are to be removed from Georeia and Interred at Lexington, on the loth of September next." The futher of Robert E. Lee was rot Richard Henrv Iee, but Henry, "Leelon Harry." tho "Light Horse Harry" of tho Revolution, one of the most romantically brave and chivalrous soldiers ol modern times. Richard Henry Io was the first cousin of Legion Harry's futher. He died and was buried among the people of Westmoreland. His remains now rest on the e-tata of Hon. Willoughby Nwton. in that county, named Mount Pleasant, wbllo Harry Lee's re no. e in Georcria. where ho died on his way homo ftom the West ladies. FetertHntrg MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Live Bibos and Mice in Mail-Baos. The. auesville Courier ays when Mr. W. Reed, chief clerk in the Posl Office, emptied the mail-bag for this city from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, out flew a small young bird ot the sap-sutker Bpo cies. tcurcely old enough to fly. After some little trouble tho bird was secured, and on exami nation it was found that the onlydamugo it had reciived Irom its Incarceration in toe United States mail-hue from Philadelphia to this city, was a small bruise on one of its wings. It seemed t3 be a little stupid from its long fast. How it could have escaped death when ruclosed among flic mail matter with which the bag was filled is marvellous; and how it came in the sack is equally a mystery. Yesterday rarrniug a mail-bug irom the same city, wheu opened, out Jumped a little mous", hculthv and sound, which soon took up quaiters in the buildintr, apnarmtly well satisfied with the ch ingo. We will soon expect to hear of nonio of the clerks in the Philadelphia Post Office coming throtuh the Banio way. Mr. Kecd designs taking the greatest car ot his little sap-suc?er. Imi'oktant Decision to Oil Operators.

Sir: Your letter oi the 2d tilt, is rcceiveri. I reply that when an iudividual Finks wells forthe purpo-eol obtaining oil, and incurs loss thereby, such loss mav be deducted from his income derived irom business during the jesr in which said loss occurred. Hut lo?sr3 incurred by oil stock companies in sinking such wells, cannot be deducted from the income ol the individual s'.ock holder. Such losses must be considered a; affecting the value of the rjeiicrai slock, depreciating the same, uud the tax-payer cannot deduct irom income on ac count of the mere depreciation of stocks.

In 14")2 it as carried back to li.iiiie. where it did dutv at the coronation of Frederick IV, and in 153U Charles V placed it on his head at Bologna.

A German named Flack hns invented a vessel to be used in laying torpedoos lor tho defense ot harbors. In May lust, when in Valparaiso Bay, he sunk his vetsel in the bay in thirty fathoms of water, himself and a party of friends being on board. No anxiety was felt for some time es to the safety of the adventurous party, Flack having protested that ho could easily remain under water for six or seven hours. At last a diver wus tent, down, but for five days the vessel could not be discovered, and when found it lay at such a depth that the diver could not make a rope last to it. "Punch's" Fifty Volumes.
