WB8PATCH FROM GENERAL SHERIDAN.
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
loi sajs that the prompt announcement In
seveial despatches lrom Washington lat night
that General riedg wick had crossed trora Browns
ville into Matamoras, and Invented that place
with United Mates, troops ostensibly in the
interests of American commerce, but practically
etlectliig the atrest of any invasion attempted
by the Imperial lorceg, has caused the Govern
ment much annoyance and embarrassment.
To-day the War Department has curtly in
formed all inquiring correspondents that it hud
no confirmation or the above report, nor any
reason to expect that it would be vended. Not-1
withstanding this assumption it is apparent that
the Department wbs informed in the premises
simultaneously with the forwarding of news
paper advices on the subject; indeed, General
Grant's own despatch in reference to Hedgwick's
movements washere by 9 o'clock in the evening,
and read aw follow:
Galvision, November ,27 I four that General
Sedgwick baa orossed lrom BrownsvUle, and occu
pied Matauioras, under pretext of protecting Ame
rican commerce tbcro Hbonld it Drove true. 1 wdl
order his imme liale removal, with your approba
tion, and d.so.aim any indorsement of the move
ment. P U Shkridan,
Ma.lor-General Commanding.
Th's telegram was received at General Grant's
headquarters early In the evening, and the
General was summoned from home to attend to
its purport. Before midnight a response whs
telegraphed to Sheridan, instructing hlin to
depose Sedgwick with the first verification of
the latter's reported movement, and lo disavow
any indorsement of the United States.
A CONFIDENCE OPERATION.
CnrloiiN Story of Fraud and Gullibllii
-1'hrce Alllllou Uollnr iu a vaiix.
om the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, Tuesday,
Sittine in the Court House yesterday after
noon, listening to the testimony of the old man
Rudolph Zimmer, who, it is alleged, was very
seriously victimized by oue Bob Guise, agisted
by one or more of his female friends, we no
longer wondered that confidence men and
"Jeremy Diddlcrs" generally muke a good thing
ont of their little games, and find plenty of
victims to practise upon. But we were surprised
at the unheard-of verdancy and simplicity of
tbe old man; it seemed almost incredible that
any person in his senses could have been con
tinually and systematically swindled by a series
of cock-and-bull stories such as those with
which, as it is alleged, the accused, Bob Guise,
succeeded in fleecing Zimmer.
He (Guise) at one time, according to the tes
timony, represented to the old man that lie bud
married the daughter of a roan named Bede, in
Hamilton, who was very wealthy so wealthy,
in tact, that he could riot compute his riches.
Guise also produced a note for $30,000, signed
by John and Hannah Bede his "wile's" parents
and drawn iu his (Guise's) favor, ou the
strength of which he obtained money from his
victim.
On another oecasiot Guise told Zimmer that
there were $24,000 in the express otlice for Mr.
Bede, and that he, being Mr. Bede's agent, could
not get the money without paying $020.
Zunmergave him a note lor $700, and came
to Buffalo with him, where they were to raise
the necessary amount on the" note, get the
$24,000 out oi the express ollice and divide it,
giving him (Zimmer) the biggest part of it, us
- Mr. i!ede allowed him (Guise) to "uce the
money for his own purnoses." Guise, leaving
the old man at the Genesee House, went down
town, add shortly returned and said he had
paid in the money at the express office, and
could get the $24,000, but that they had ad
vised him not to take the money out of tbe
office, as there were Fenian soldier? around,
and he would not be sate, etc Mr. Zimmer
did not eel anv portion of the $24,000.
Persons employed in the United .States and
American Express offices testided that they had
no knowledge of such a package of money ever
being received.
At another time Guise represented to Zimmer
that, Mr. Bede was in New i'ork, and had three
million dollars In his valise; that they must fro
to New York and see Mr. Bede, and that he
would divide the money between them. The
witness went on to say! "I furnishi-d the
money to go with; he said he bud nothing to
go with himseW. and that 1 must get him
money to go with; Gnise said the expense
would be $25 each from ltochcster to New
York; I gave him $50; 1 went to New
York; did not see Bede; ho then went
oft' and left me at the Astor House, aud re
turned again, and said that Mr. Bede could uot
be there rieht otf, but would be there in the
course of the e vening; after that he went about
tbe streets lrom one place to another till iome
time in the evening, but no Bede appeared; it
was bud ticue, and I went up stairs and went to
bed; he told me next morning that Bede had
been there after I went to bed, but did not want
to disturb me so late at night, and did not want
to call me; next morning he went round here
and there, and he left me, to see Mr. Bede: he
said, when he returned, tnat Bede could not
come to see me or spend any time with me, a-
he was goiug to take the next train West to
come to Buflalo, and perhaps then to Clarence;
Guise said that he wanted to go on the same
train, but we were too lute: hud to wait till the
evening train: we started for home; I did not let
Guise have any more money while we ware gone;
1 hadn't got any."
Zimmer, in answer to a question from one of
the counsel, said that he relied upon the pro
mises and stories made and told him by Guise,
"they seemed so reasonable !"
We have given enough to show our renders
the confiding nature of Zimmer, and how easily
be might be victimized by such as Guise, pro
vided the latter happened to be "auy such man.''
The case was rec-umed this morning, and several
additional witnesses examined. Wnen our re
porter left, Mr. Humphrey, counsel for the
defense, was cross-examining Mr. Zimmer. The
trial will probably occupy most of ihe duy
to-morrow. '

THK CRIMINAL WOULD.
Particular of the Recent Lynching In
Kentucky Outrageous Violation of
l.AWi
A correspondent of the Louisville Journal
gives the following account of the lynching of
tbice robbers iu Lebanon, Ky.J
At exactly 1146 on Saturday, November 24, a
number ot men, armed with guns and pistols,
si Hounded the county jail, which 1b situated
d rcctly In the centre of Lcbauon, broke open
tte front door, and demanded of the juilor the
key to tbe dungeon part of the jail. The mob,
vhich appeared to be under the control of one
leader, made no noise, picketed the streets, and
arrested all citizens whom thev found on the
streets. Those persons who lived on Main
street, and were curious enough to open their
windows, were warned to keep their heads in
a warning that was quickly complied with.
Eighteen men, armed with guns, rolled a large
hogshead up to the northwest corner of Main
and Republican streets, behind which they hid
themselves, apparently ready to Are on any
n aa who nuule an edort to go to the jail. The
other comers of these streets were guarded by
armid meu. The various streets in town were
picketed by armed men. Every precaution was
takeu by the mob to prevent assistance reaching
the jail. When the front door of the jml was
nroken open, the jailor ran up stairs and hid
himself. When he was missed, parties in the
mob brought a sledge-hammer and attempted to
Ireak down the iron door of the jail. After
ban mering at it for a lime, they found this
mode ot entrance impracticable, and com
menced searching for the jailor. Doors were
broken open, and he was finally found hid in a
wiirdrobe In a room of the up-stairs of the jail.
He was Immediately seized, compelled to deliver
up the ke.vs, and held in custody, in the mean
time the prisoners, eight in number, were fully
awnkened by the hammering at the jail door,
and fully understood the danger that menaced
them. They shrieked and yelled for help, and
ai med themselves with billets of wood and stones,
determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible.
When the mob obtained the keys of the jail
do jr, they openei it, as they did the Inner latticed
iron door which led into the dungeon. William
Goode had armed himself with a huge billet of
wood, and hid behind the door, ready to strike
as the mob entered. After soma parleying in
the passage, five men marched into the oun
geon, meeting with no opposition. They formed
a line by the wall ot the jail, and called lor
Chm. Crowdus, William Goodc, and Tom
Stephens, who immediately answered to their
names. As they delivered themselves up. the
leader of tne men said: "Crowdus, I have been
looking for you for a long time." To this speech.
irowaus nnsweroii: "i know you have, Mr.
," calling the man by name. The three
prisoners were Immediately matched from iall,
the jail door securely fastened, and the jailor
released. The mob, which vi as on foot, imme
diately left the city In the direction of Grimes'
Hill, a small hill situated about 14 milos east of
Lebanon. Tbeir horses were bitched andguarded
in the edge of tbe city. When they left the jail
they gave one triumphant yell, which awoke
a large number of our citizens, and must have
struck terror to the hearts of their prisoners'
Many citizens saw them as they marched out
towards Grimes' Hill, and say there mu9t have
been about seventy-five men guarding the pri
soners, in addition to the men who guarded the
streets, who numbered about seventy-five more.
The mob left Leoanon at 1230 o'clock on Sun
day morning, the 25ta instant. What took
place at Grimes' Hill prior to the hanging, no
one, except those engaed,knows. A negro
living near the place says thfit the moblalked
to the prisoners a long time, laughed frequently,
and appeared to act in a buMness-like manner.
It is not known whether the prisoners b"geea
tor their lives or not. No one can tell how
they suffered from-fright, nor how they suffered
while hanging. Grimes' Hill is a small hill,
one and a bull" mile east of Lebanon, aud is
shaded thinly with oak trees. The Danville
turnpike rnus directly over it, and the Kuox
ville Railioad cuts through it. Lebanon cannot
tie seen from the hill; but the summit ot the hill
i sufficiently elevated to give a good view of
the country for several miles aiound. The
place of hangiug is directly on the top of the
hill, equally distant lrom the turnpike and the
railroad about one buudied yards from each.
The tree to which they were hune is a black
oak, with one large limb extending iu a northern
direction, which is about twelve leet from the
ground. Appearances indicute that the pri
soners were hung one at a time, commencing
with Crowdus. He must have been placed on a
horse, his hands tied behind him, the rope ad
justed around his neck, and the horse led from
under him. Appearance" also indicate that the
rope slipped, for his heels nearly touched a
root of the tree that ran out under his feet.
Indeed, he must have struggled to get a foot
hold on this rooc. its ueciuiHtmn only pre
vented his saving his life by ooing this. Ima
gine a mnu dangling at the end of a rope, with
his hands securely bound behind him, lust able
to touch ground, and yet not able to release
himself from the suffocating horror and pains
ot death! William Goode seems next to have
been called on. The rope around his neck
slipped so much that he stood on his feet. His
less were doubled up aud his leet tied to his
Lands. His knees tbeii weie not more than six
inches from the ground. Thomas Stephens was
next hanged. It appears that the rJrt rope
placed around his neck was braken, for three
lopes were around his neck the following inorn
ins. His leet were about six inches from the
ground. The limb on which they were hanged
was about seven feet lone, so that Stephens
and Crowdus were within six feet of
each other. They must have suffered
intolerable pain, since they all died
from strangulation. Crowd ufc' face was hid by
a handkerchief. When it was removed his
mouth was found to be open, and the rope
with which he was hanged imbedded in his
neck. William Goode had quite a pitiful ex-
ression; he aud Stephens both appeared to
liuve attempted to prevent suffocation by hold
ing their chins firmly down on their breast.
Stephens looked us melt as when I la.-t saw him In
our court-house, wbeu he was being tried for
bigamy, etc. Alter the death ot the prisoner
their bats were carefully placed on their heads.
Thev looked so much like men standing on the
ground, attempting to hide themselves behind
a tree, that an idle negro man who passed
them in the morning spoke to them, and lur
ried on to town very much frightened becaus"
they would hot speak to bim. After the bung
ing, the niob joined iu one last shout and left
tor parts unknown.

THIRD EDITION
FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON.
8PIC1AI DESPATCHES TO EVKMHO TELEGRAPH.
Washington, November 30.
Withdrawal of the French Troop.
The cable despatch liom Minister of State
Moustier to Count Montholon, stated that four
tccn vessels would ail immediately from Brest to
Vera Cruz, where the French troops in Mexico
were required to rendezvous for their embarka
tion to France. Ten additional vessels will
leave by the middle of December. By the 15th
of January Mexico will be clear of all tbe
French troops. The French Minister communi
cated this despatch to President Johnson and
Secretary Seward last evening.
From one who has read it, I learn that the
principal reason given by Napoleon for the
delay in withdrawing the French troops is that
the latter had been so severely pressed by the
Mexican forces, that it was dangerous to attempt
an evacuation until the military situation be
came easier. It is also learned, from the most
authoritative source, that General Sherman's
mission to Mexico is wholly in the character of
an advisory agent to Minister Campbell, re
garding the military status of a ffaiis. The with
drawal of the French forces is regarded, there
fore, as almost wholly superseding General
Shermau's mission.
Report of the Statistical' Bureau.
The first Quarterly Report of the Bureau of
Statistics of the Treasury Department, under
Mr. Delmar, appeared to-day. It really em
braces nearly all from that Bureau which will
have any bearing upon the Secretary's report.
According to thiu Report, the aggregate values
ot imports and exports for the months of July,
August, September, and October, 18(!G, as far as
returns have been received, stand as follows:
IMPOB18.
Specie and bullion $10 823,835

August 80,959,093
September 16,149 058
October 18 614 446
Total..?. $82,025,008
These figures exhibit the startling fact that
our imports exceed our exports to the amount of
$44,931,950 for the first four months of the fiscal
year 1S67; and when It is remembered that the
imports are at a gold and the exports at a cur
rency valuation, the diti'erence becomes yet
moie alarming. The report, as a whole, is not
what Congress and the people at large had a
rieht to expect. Especially is this the case as
regards the statement of imports and exports.
Instead of furnishing a statcmont of the high
articles, such as cotton, wool, and Iron, articles
imported and exported, with their quantities
and values, Director Delmar gives, perhaps un
intentionally, simply the total value of imports
or exports at the various ports of entry a state
ment utterly valueless to the manufacturing
industries of the country, in whose interest we
believe the Bureau was organized.

apartments at the Ilygcia Hotel, and shortly
atur were waited upon by Dr. George E. Cooper,
phvsician to Jeff, flavin, and taken into the
Fortress, where they were received in Carroll
Hall by Mr. and Mr. Davis. This visit of Clay,
made so unexpectedly and without any previous
intimation, has caused considerablespecu'ation,
and many surmises are rife as to Its probable
object. It is presumedly, however, a mere
social visit, and devoid ot any slgnldcance per
taining to a release or the future prospect- of
Mr. Davis. The extent ol their sojourn, or the
destination of Mr. and Mrs. Clay after leaving
here, are both unknown.
The steamship Santiago dc Cuba, Captain
J. W. Smith, arrived here this morning from
New York to take the freight and passeugers of
the steamship San Francisco to Greytown,
Nicaragua. The work of transfeniog the pas
sengers and freieht commenced immediately,
and wus completed at 6 o'clock this afternoon.
at wuicn time sue got under way, and proceeded
to her destination. The 8an Francisco, which
put in here lHst Saturday night with one of her
boilers disabled, having been relieved of her
cargo, sailed for New York to-niuht. A nas
senser on the San Francisco, named Talbot,
beloneing to New York, was knocked over
board in a melee which occurred here last
night, and remained in the water three hours
beiore he wai discovered, aud released lrom his
danperous situation.
The disturbance oriainatod on the Baltimore
wharf, from some trivial personal dispute,
during which violence followed birsh words,
aud the uuloituuate passenger was precipitated
otf tbe wharf. In falling he clung to some of
the piles, and managed to secure a foothold,
and remained there several hours before his
cries brought ansistance. When taken out of
t he water his strength was almost gone, and in
disrobincr him and aonlvine the proper restora
tives, it was ascertained he bad been robbed of
nil his valuables and money. Tbe atfair was
not investigated, as he went on board the San
tiago de Cuba, and took passage for Greytown.
Another passenger of the San Francisco be
came to-day the untortunate victim of an even
still more sad predicament.
Detective B. K. Taylor, of Norfolk, reached
here lust evening from that city, with the neces
sary papers to procure the arrest of a young
miin named Nevens, w ho had absconded from
New York, embarked on the San Francisco
under an assumed name, and taken with him
between five and six thousand dollars, the funds
of his employer. Tbe detective experienced no
difficulty in recognizing the young man, from
tbe minute description contained iu the tele
gram. He went 90 board the steamer, and
brought him ashore this morning. Lately the
confidential clerk in the firm ot Abraham lloolcy
Co, of New Yoik, his d. scent from the con
fdence of bis employers has been as sadden as
ns it was rhpld. On board the San Francisco
there was a large number of gamblers; and had
it not been for the accident which occurred aud
compelled her to return 10 port, it is very pro
bable they would have fleeced him to the very
hift dollar of the amount he became so criini
n hIIj possessed of.

up this morning. The discussion upon the pro
posed change was made several days ago, and
strong arguments by many of the most able
nun of the Conference, pro and con, were de
livered in. the presence ot a large audience
thronging the church. Several addresses were
mi'de to-day, but not of an important nature.
The question was then put to the Conference,

'ihe question of lay representation beine ad
mitted into the councils ot the Generaf and

lei srthy and pointed debutes. Considerable
('(.position was manifested, but the question was
fin :uly carried by a vote of 74 to 26.
A special session of the Couference was agreed
upon, to meet at 4 o'clock this afternoon, when

THE NATIONAL INCREASE.
Sermon by the Hev. Phillip Brooks
at
the Clturch of the Italy Trinity.
Thetho Rev. Phillips Brooks commenced tbe
service by the reading of the Pre-tdent's pro
clamation tor the observance of a day of thanks
giving. The sermon was based upon the text:
"Thou hast inkeased the nation; Thou hast in-
creased the nairon; Thou art glorided." Isaiah,
il, 18.
This should be a day of praise and thanks-'
giving. Yet we are, as a people, so absorbed in'
the duties of the hour that we seem to have no
time to rcLder praise unto Him to whom all
praise is due. As a nation we should reuder it
to the kind Providence that has blessed ns in
all things in our schools, the increase of our
people and our land, our manufactures and our
commerce, and all other material favors and mer
cies accorded to us. As a nation we have in
creased In national greatness In a most wonder
ful manner. When the actual strife of our late
terrible war had ceased, by tho laying down of
tbeir arms by the Rebels, some there were who
said that the war was not ended that it was not
jet over.
But although there are many and great diffi
culties before us, the war has ended. We can
say that tbe storm is over when the ship can
set ber sails and can can go where sue wilt.
So tbe war is over when tho nation has no
longer to struggle for its lite, but tor a way to
rub s the States that were striking at its exist
ence. We hear it stiid that the objects of the
war have not been achieved. The ngh'a of man
have not been as triumphantly vindicated as
we ought by right to expect, and there are still
breakers ahead. Yet, in the main, the most of
the difficulties that surround our position we
have expected. The strain and tension ot the
great Northern nerve had to be relaxed, and
with tbat relaxation the arrogance of the late
Rebels increased. The President has proved
treacherous, and has given power to our
enemies. But m spite of all obstacles and delays,
we should not be discouraged.
Americans, in speaking of America, have now
a self-consciousness of nationality. We have
grouped oar several communities into an
aggregate nation. We have swept away
slavery, that hindrance to the harmony of the
whole people, and it now remains but to effect
tbe establisljnent of equal right", and insure
lull political equality between the white and
the black man.
Our nation has been Increased in her national
chaiacter. Irresponsibility and irresolution
have bceu loft to the history of our earlier days,
and the nation has attained its manhood. The
amendments to the Constitution to be voted for
by the coming Congress, are but indications of
our new nationality. When taken into Congress,
and from thence laid beiore the people, we will
show tbe power and greatness that have been
born of the war. The Thirty-ninth, or outgoing
Congre8, by its great and glorious work ot the
prist session, is worthy itself ol a thanksgiviug.
Foreign countries had not a true sense of our
greatness, even lrom our vast successes in tne
held; but they did have a glimpse of our real
grealneps in "their appreciation of our great
representative, tbe lute glorious and lamented
Abraham Lincoln. His successor has proved
false to his upholders and degrades his position,
and the same voice that called him to the Presi
dential chair has hurled forth its scathing rebuke
nt the ballot-box. The national justice upbraids
him with injustice. It is a good sign of the
righteousness of tbe people and their good sense,
tbat he Is condemned.
The time has come for the establishment oi
tbe great principle of equal rights to all men.
The niiuister in the pulpit, and the politician
and statesman, should all proclaim it right, and ,
religion should maintain that standard. The
Church can but influence ber members, and
utter Its incessant reiterated remonstrances
Bcainst the denial ot any right to any of the
nations. There have never Weenany good fruits
brought out of the distinction of color, and the
oe should be laid at the root ol that pernicious
theory by the Church.
We must keep its linger pointing constantly
at the moral enormity of the distinction, until
it has been swept away. We want to be a
nntion that is not afraid to acknowledge and
advocate a truth, however lowly or homely It
may be. What a disgrace it is, tbat a man
whose skin is darker than our own is not even
allowed to ride in tbe cars with us, or to come
into contact with us in society I
To those who have been blessed with pros
perity and wealth, we appeal in the name of But
tering humanity not to luvish their substance
in gewgaws and tawdry adornments of fashion
and costly dissipations, but to serve the Lord
by appropriating a part of that which has becn
bestowed upon them to the furtherance of His
ends, tbe relief and education of the poor.
We are now the noblest and grandest nation
of the earth. We have our faults, and other
nations have their splendors, but our faults are
but the follies of our youth; their splendors axe
but the phosphorescent glare of their rotten
ness and wickedness. In bur progress In free
ideas, in wealth, in size and extent, and in
strength, we have gone forward with gigantic
strides. "Thou hast increased tho natlon;"Thou
hast incroased the nation; Thou art glorifled."
THK LARGK TABLE,
A Sermon Delivered by the Rev. T. De
Witt Tloiage, at the Second Reformed
Dutch Church. .
'Thou preparest a table before mo In the pre
sence ot mine enemies." Psalm 23: 6.
This handful ot frankincense and galbanum
that David put upon the center long ago smoked
up to heaven. Tbe table of banqueting men
tioned la the text has been broken down, and
there Is left not so much as the rind ot a pome
granate or the leaf of a garland. But (Jod
spreads out to-day a table that puts into nothing
ness the carnival of Iraelttish and Babylonian
palaces.
The table reaches acrajs the two great rauge
of mountains that cross the continent, and
touches the beaches ot the Atlantic and Pacioc
Oceans. It is the tbauksgiving table of tbe
nation ! They come from the North and South
and Fast and Wet to sit at it. Upon it smokes
the products of every zoue, bird- fron every
aviary, cattle from every pasture, fish from
every lake, leathered spoils from every farm.
Its fruit-basket bend under the wealth plucked
from tbe peach-fields of New Jersey, the apole
orchards of Western New York,' the orange.,
groves of Florida, the vineyards of Ohio, and
the nuts thieshed from New England woods.
The bread i white flora the wheat-delds of Ml o
aouri and Michigan. The bmiquctters are
adorned with Calttomlan gold, tbe table U
