An important race lately came off between these two yachts, in which the Flour de Lis proved herself the best boat, at least In a light wind. The Dauntless is M2 tons, and tne Fleur de Dis Do tons, schooner rigged. They happened to be together at anchor In New Loudon harbor on Monday morning lust. There had been no communication between the owners and their respective crews, and theretore neither knew where the other was bound; In faot, both were on a cruise with pleasure pxriies on board. At daylight on Tuesduy inoruing the Daunt less weighed anchor, and made way for New York. About three hours afterwarks, Mr. Dlckerson made chase, passing the Pequot House about 8 A. M. In the meantime tne Dauntless having started with the last of the ebb tide; on approaching Fisher's Island, lost her wind, and drifted Into the race, flghtluc that terrible current until the young flood, aided by a )iht breeze trout the west, brought her up to Gull Island oa her starboard tack, pointing for the mouth of the Connecticut river. At this time tne Dauntless was fully Ave wiles dead to wiudward ahead of the Fleur de Lis. It was evident from tbo movements on board that at this Juncture the race commenced, for simultaneously both foretopsails went aloft, and Prooriss never wooed more earnestly tne breezes than did both yachts. In an hour's time It was evident that the Flenr de Lis was sailing closer to the wind than the Dauntless, though not passing so rapidly through the water, for the smaller yacht ha1 made tho big one look twice as large in that time. Mr. Ben nett seemed now to be fully impressed with the idea that things could not go on in that way very long wllnout reslnluii the victory go up went his enormous stay Hail. The effect was like the hitsh upon a blooded steed, and the Flour de Lis was left as if at anchor. This was but for a moment, however, for in the twinkling of a glbboom the modest oauvas Of the Fleur de Lis showed its graceful lines between the maNtbeads, and then It was that a tow-line seemed Btretohed from one yacht to the other. Another hour passed, and the Daunt less being uuabie to weather Faulkland Island Light, was compelled to go about. The Fleur de Lis, on the other hand, bad eaten up Into the wind enough to weather the light, and did not go about for more than twenty minutes. Finally she did so, and then the excitement began, both yachts trying their best, and each trying to cross the other's bow. Borne twenty minutes of uncertainty passed, until at last the magnificent Dauntless, seem ing to be ashamed of being weathered by so mall a rival, bounded along as if propelled by some favorable breeze gotten up for the occa sion, and passed a cable's length ahead of the Fleur de Lis. As she passed, all on deck gazed earnestly, but said nothing; neither yacht tired a gun, one perhaps actuated by magnanimity and the other by chagrin, but neither magna nimity nor chagrin could ohange the result, for the plucky Fleur de LiM went abouton her star board tack, right in the track of her opponent, and then it was that she again showed her superiority In pointing and holding In, for when night fell the Dauntless was a mile to leeward. The wind was light and dead ahead, and from that time till daylight It was almost a calm. When the mist raised, the sea was smooth as a mirror, In which both vesselB, close by each other, seemed, like rival beauties, to be making their morning toilets. lirj.i. ' - .... .1 V ...

As Officer James Brown, of the Ninth Pre cinct, was patrolling West street, near Hank, at 2'80 o'clock yesterday morning, and Just after the severe atorm which prevailed during the night, be heard a cry for assistance, lie re sponded by running down the dock at the foot of Fourteenth street, and found a small yaoht lying on her beam ends in the stream. The othoer Immediately procured the assistance of pome boatmen and proceeded to tbe soeneof the wreck, when he ascertained that the yacht bad been anchored and evidently run down by some passing steamer, as her side was stove In so that she conld not be righted. No person was on board, but the officer fonnd a linen coat lying on the deck, which he brought to the Charles Htreet Police Rtatlon for Identification. During yesterday afternoon some further de tails were obtained, when the passengers on board tbe steamer James W. Baldwin, from Koundout, informed the Fifth Precinct Police that the steamer had collided with and run down the pleasure yacht Lady Klernan, while off tbe Elystan Fields, and tbe persons on board the yacht bad been hurled into the water, some being rescued. Captain Petty Immediately took measures to secure the arrest of the officers of the steamer. One of the pilots, named James Van Ftan, was taken into custody during the forenoon and locked up in the Leonard street station house. About 8 o'clock in the afternoon the principal pilot, William Mosher, was also arrested and held for examination. Tbe statements made by these pilots is to the effect that tbe yacht had no lights aboard, and tli ey could not distinguish her outlines owing to the darkness, but as soon as they were aware of her proximity, they made all possible en deavors to avoid a collision. It has also been ascertained tbat there were thirteen persona on board the yacht, and the majority of these succeeded in climbing over the bow ot the steamer to a place of safety. Tbe remainder, with the exception of George MoAUtster, were rescued by small boats which put out from tbe Jersey shore, the body of Mr. McAllister not having been recovered. The supposition la that tbe excursionists on board tbe yacht were partially intoxicated, or at least those having charge of the deck. The two pilots are still held in custody by the police, though there seems to have been abundant time for their arralenment before Justice Dow ling at tbe Tombs Police Court. The owners of the line offered to produce any amount of ball, in order to secure the release of their pilots, Without success. iV. Y. Time. THE MOUNT DESERT DROWNING. A Pleasure Party of Eight Drowned While on an Excursion Particular of the Sad Dlaaster. Mount Dbskrt, Me., July 25. This little sea port town has been suddenly overspread witi grief at a disaster which took place in Bar har bor yesterday afternoon, A party of pleasure excursionists saUed down the harbor in the middle of the day with a favorable wind. There were two' boats, one of which contained a party of eight, and the other a party ot ten. The boat conveying tbe smaller party was capsized by a squall while passing Egg Rock, In the centre of Frenchman's bay. There was a high sea running at the time, and the frail boat aad tbe unfortunate passengers were almost immediately swallowed up. Only one of the whole pnrty was saved Miss Julia Blake, of Fraculngham, Mass. Those who were lost, as the telegraph lias staled, were Kev. R. O. Chase and wife, Miss Haupt, Miss Tazewell, and Josiah Harmar, all of Philadelphia; Francis T. Clark and wife, of Framingham, Mass., and Captain C. Robinson, of Tremont, Me. Only one of the bodies of the drowned was recovered, although every effort was made by the parties who witnessed the disaster to save them before and after death. Miss Blake was saved by cling ing to an oar, and was unconscious when res cued. Hhe Is belug kindly cared lor by tho citi zens here. Rev. Mr. Chase was a man of rare social quali ties, and bad won many friends during his brief sojourn bere. He was pastor of the St. Matthias Episcopal Church of Philadelphia. Mr. Clark was cashier of the Framingham (Mass.) Na tional Bank, and both.be and bis wife were among the most respectable and highly es teemed residents of the town. Mr. Harmer was a nephew of ex-Benator Foster of Connec ticut, and a well-known lawyer of Philadel phia. His mother and a brother, who were stop ping here with him, have of course been plunged into the deepest grief, and the whole town la sad and mournful. It is not probable that any of the bodies will be recovered. EQUAL RIGHTS. Letter from John Stuart Mill, II. P. The editor of the AntirJilavtry Standird has received tho following letter from John Stuart Mill: Blackheath Pare, Kent. July 1 Dear Bin In acknowledging your letter of February 18, I am ashamed to see bow long that acknow ledgment has been delayed. Your letter arrived in the thick of tbe Parliamentary conflict, and I have ever since been ao fully and engrossiogly occupied that I have had no time to write auy letters but such as were indispensable, nor had I leisure to write anything which would have been worth offering to be laid before the anni versary meeting of the Equal Rights Associa tion. Bince that time, however, many things have happened, and among others the debate IntbeHouseor Commons on the motion for Klvinar the suffrage to women. The unex pectedly large minority which the proposal obtained, and tne thought and discussion which. It excited in quarters where the subject bad never been thought of before, have given an immense Impulse to the question. Num bers, both of men and women, in all ranks, have since given in their adhesion to the move ment: and agreement with it Is rapidly becom ing a badge of advanced liberalism. 1 need not aay with what pleusure 1 learned, both from your letter and from many other sources, the great progress which the question is making in tbe United States, where the disa bilities of women are now the only remaining nadonal violation of tbe principles of your im mortal Declaration of Independence; nor need I desorlbe tbe feelings caused in me by the as surance of yourself and others that the essay published in tbe Wettmintter Review in 1851 baa been in America, as it has been here, one of the most powerful agents in placing the question In tbe position it now occupies.

Tbe counties situated along the line of the projected Norfolk and Great Western Railroad are beginning to take a very active interest In its success. The people have been lavish in their contributions of land, and are gradually coming to see the propriety of the reduction of their large landed estates into smaller and more compact farms. Tbe projected railroad is tbe great object of discussion, many believing that, without its agency, the untold resources of tbe West Virginia counties can never be developed, or that Importance and value given to many species of property which are now worthless without it.

THE PRESIDENCY. Curloue Story Abont General Grant and a Massachusetts Politician The Gene ral's Movements Watched by a Detec tive. Washikotow, Febtuary 26. A curious atory baa come to light to-day relative to Uouerat Grant, a Washington detective, and a very well known Massachusetts politician. If true, it developes a most extraordinary plan, con cocted oy an enemy of Oeneral Grant, to ferret out something to the disadvantage of that dis tinguished commander. The story Is to the eff ect that the General has recently discovered that he has been watched by a detective wherever he goes whether at the thoatre, on a drive in the country, or about town, or in the railroad train. It is said this detective has been on his traok watching him closely, and afterwards reported progress to the Massachu setts polltloian. whose name shall not be men tioned. Recently General Grant paid several visits to the National Theatre here, and the de tective was seen prowling about. General Grant started for West Point, and the detective was found in tbe train. The General some time after started for New York, and the detective was again in the train, and on the track of the General during his movements about the metropolis. One night while In New York Generul Grant left his hotel for a drive, and was followed in a carriage by the detective. He re turned hastily to Washington, in obedience to a summons from the Judiciary Com mittee, and the detective followed him to this city, where. Immediately on his arri val, he (the detective) repaired to the bouse of the Massachusetts politician to report progress, as is alleged. The movements of this detective becoming known to him. General Grant sent for him, and asked him Dy what authority he watched his movements, and who employed him in such strange business. The detective promptly answered that the General was mistaken aa to his movements; that he (the detective) was employed in no such work, but simply on private business, hunting up testimony for a Congressional committee recently appointed, and tbat the fact that he (the detective) happened to be in the same train with, and ao near the General on several occasions, was purely accidental. I am Informed, however, tbat the same politi cian from Massachusetts, who held a high com mission in the army during the war. Is supposed by General Grant to bave resorted to the same species of spying over his (General Grant's) movements while in command of the army, and that be thus kept himself posted in every thing transpiring at headquarters. It may be that tbe affair la somewhat exaggerated, but I think not. The object, supposing my informa tion to be correct, la undoubtedly to hunt up aomething derogatory to General Grant, to be used against him In the Presidential contest. A. Y. Herald.

In all caxes drafts for the amount of interest aacrned on the not ex to that date are returned with bonds bearing; Interest from tbat date Inclusive.
