The Globe prints the following letter of Napo leon III, which, says tbe Globe, has never hith erto been published, and a copy ol which we have obtained from an authentic source at Ber lin. .It is very curious, as It shows the views which the French Emperor entertained (or at ""ieat which he wished the public to believe he entertained ) a year ago, in regard to the annexa tions of Prussia. It was the letter which caused M. Droujn de Lhuvs to resign hia office of Min ister of Foreign Affairs: "August 12, I860. My dear Monsieur de Lavalette: I call your serious attention totlM fallowing facts: In tbe mldHt of the con vernation jviilcti took place be tween Benedetti and M. de Blxmark, M.

"It results from my conversation with Benedetti, that we Bhould have all Oermany against us for a very small advantage. "It Is important not to let public opinion go astray on this point.

A Vole from the Tomb Ex-President Buchanan la Disinterred, Joins a Phila delphia Fire Engine, and Makes a Speech He Acknowledges that II Looks to the Past More Than to the Future. Philadelphia, Oct. 17. The Schuylkill Hose and Hook and Ladder Company of Philadelphia visited fsPresideDt Buchanan at Wheatland this morning, at half-past 10 o'clock. They were kindly leoeived, aud before parting he was pre sented with one of the badges of the Company, bhorily afterwards a delegation of the United States Hose Company of Philadelphia and tbe Union Fire Company ot Lancaster repaired to Wheatland, where Mr. Buchanan was presented with a photographic group ol the member of the United States Hose Company. Mr. Buckwalter, in a few appropriate remarks, stated the object of tbe visit, as well as tbe regard entertained for the ex-President by his firemen friends in Philadelphia. He concluded by begging his acceptance ot the testimonial, and wUhed him health aud every happiness that this lite can afford. Mr. Buchanau replied: "Gentlemen, I am very happy to receive you ou this bright and beautiful morning, and I shall always be happy to receive the visits of my fellow-citizens. I have jast received acompauy ol Bremen from the city of Philadelphia, who made Hie a member ot tneir organization Dy present ing me with one of their badges.

He con cluded his lemarks by saying, "I shall bans this frame upon my wall. I consider it a great houor to receive it, and an houor to keep it. Will you walk In, gentlemen 1" Ibe party of course accented the invitation, and before being conducted to the receptiou room accepted the hospitalities which were tendered in good old-fashioned Lancaster county style. A quarter of an hour wa passed in con versation, during which Mr. Buchanan said he was now In the seveuty-seveutb year of bis age, and he looks more upon the past th.au to the future.

There's no reason to be discouraged. The cure will go on. W' pointed out. In recent article, how in consistent and absurd It waa to auppoae that a few battlea had converted the whole American people into AboUfrorilsts. Tbe late elections are a com men ion thai text. Brought squarely to the lest, Olito cannot yet be Just on tier own vol). That same population would aee the ne cessity of giving to the Houth Carolina negro the ballot. Wlt.irout that they know tbe Union would not be aafe. weldsliness dictates Justloe In tbe reconstruction of theBoutn; but the senna of justice ta oot keen enough to protect the negroes at homo so Ohio rejects her equal suf frage amendment. Pennsylvania, always for rale and in the market, has been snapped up by an eager purchaser In the wrong party. Boms critics Insist that these changes are owing to temperance movements in one place, financial aoreners in another, ana mistaken nominations In a third. All these causes doubt let were acting; but the primary and most effi cient cause Is that the leaders ol the dominant party l be people's teacher have never taugbt their followers one single lesson of justice, ifora Mr. Lincoln down to tbe last canvass speaker, tbe cry and tbe argument lias been, "Do thtiH much to save the parly. Dole ont this and t bis measure of Justice, not for lta own sake, bul because we must. Tbe party needs It." A people drugged with -such opiates, the mo ment Ibe burden of the war and the weight of danger is taken off, springs back tolls old race hatred. Hence the easy victory of the Kebela In Ohio and Pennsylvania. While a large por tion of tbe people baa been ready for any mea sure of Justice, and.would 'have followed Llu eold to any height of national honor, another portion, poisoned by his Infidelity to principle, Laa remained In just that equivocal state of mind that left them an easy prey to the Pen dleton and the Vallandlghama. Wade reaps to-day the harvest of that party atheism which he has sometimes countenanced, and whlohhls later and general fidelity has not suliiced to neutralize. What shall we do? Press bravely on. Im peach the traitor of the White House. Men with white lips, who fancy themselves states men, cry "Oh, nol that will create sympathy for him and wreck the parly," Utter want of self-respect has wrecked the party, and nothing else. To bear blows unresistingly may be clear duty for an Individual It la death to a party. The nation has gazed and seen Johnson Insult and defy Congress. Men concluded that Con geees Is either too stupid to understand or too pusillanimous to resent the Insult, The.panacea that (Senators and Governors nropose now Is that we go on and invite more Presidential in . snlt,in hope I hat so tbe people will pity Congress aBd hate Johnson. It is a fatal policy. Huch pity passes soon into contempt. The old Whig party marched to lta grave In the lond conceit that its patience would win sympathy. It foand too late that the masses distrusted its foes, but despised a Whig. Nothing but daring, courage, gallantry, will win back popular sympathy. Hang out the banner of impartial suffrage and Rebel disfran chisement on the outmost wall. Throttle the President. Clean out the nest of unclean birds the Cabinet. Bally patriotism to the front. The disheartening of Bull Run was never wholly cured until Grant moved on Richmond. Teach men to forget Ohio and Pennsylvania in the blaze of a fiercer onset. , Every other policy is death slow death. Slave masters despised the Whig because they saw be eai-eii them. They respected the Abolitionist because they saw he defied tbera. Republicans will find that tbe same feelings are at work now. Aa an eloquent Western man says, "We have abolished the slave. We have not abuiuhma the matter." This terrible truth Heuatorsare for getting. Tbe same policy of defiance which saved us heretofore la our only reliance now. It will cow Rebels alike In Carolina and Ohio; and It will teach, rally, and unite the people. No man doubts that the North really means to exact tbe full results of its victory, Act to day so aa to convince the South that this la truer now than ever before. Wkndei.i. Phillips. TERRIBLE CASUALTY. A Little Boy Roasted to Death In a Burning Building Heroic Conduct of the Child's Mother, Yesterday forenoon a Are occurred at No. 590 Burnsiue street, near Thirty-urst, which re sulted fatally to a little boy, sou of a Mrs. Ger main, who resided at the above-named place. While performing her domestic duties Mra. Germain had occasion to go up stairs, leaving her children, three in number, playing in the kitchen about the stove, boaroely fifteen minutes baa elapsed, when she heard screams of terror In the room below, and hurrying down, discovered the kitchen all lu Humes and her children huddled In one corner screaming for assistance. With that determi nation which only a mother has when her off spring are In danger, she rushed through the flumes, grasped the two younger children, and telling lhe boy to follow her, made her way from the burning building, Ou getting out side she discovered, to her horror, that the boy still remained In the room, aud, putting down the two she had rescued, went back lor him. Tbe flames had made such progress by this time thnt she could not pass tbe barrier belween her and her child, and she was forced lo desist. Her feelings, as she beard the cries of her eon, who was being slowly roasted before her eyes, coupled with the knowledge that she was powerlesa.to save him, can belter be ima gined than described. When the fllamea bad gained complete control of tbe house, and the cries of tbe burning boy had ceased In death, stupefied with horror, she convulsively clasped her remaining children to her breast and left the scene. The cause of the fire is not known, as the two children who were saved are too Bmall to give any reliable account of it; but it is supposed that some clothing whlcu came in contact with the stove Ignited, thus communicating the flames to surrouutling ob jects. A long search for the remains ot the culm wno perisueu in iuo liuines wus cuusuni mated by the tUbcovery of a mass ot blackeued flesh aud bones. The Coroner will hold an la- quest upon the remains this mornioii. Chicago Mvpublican, Uith. MRS. LINCOLN AGAIN. It has just come to light that Mrs. Lincoln has, lor a year past, been rai'iug money ou various articles. at a pawnbroker's shop in Chicago. This institution, which has puid her some $1300, now hits two or three ot heruressee, one being, H is asserted, the dress which she wore at the time ol tbe assassination of her husband. A "Very Pear Friend" and a 91000 Dress. Mrs. Lincoln, tbe widow of PresideutLlncoln, has advertised a number pf camel's hair tshawls and other costly apparel for sale. Among the articles is "one white point lace dress, unmade, which coBt $-1000." Ooe of the camel's hair shawl, she says, cost $1000, and another $1250. There is also a white polnt-lace paraaol-cover which cost $2&0. Mrs. Lincoln states that these articles, which cost such enormous sums, were gilts of "very dear friends;" and that, as she has an income of only $1700 a year, she is com pelled to dispose of them. It Is painful, on every account, to see Mrs. Lincoln in this atti tude before tbe public. Bbe has undoubtedly a right to dispose of these costly goods, if she sees fit to do so; but it strikes us that the "very dear fuend" who made her a present of a "four thousand dollar dress" when her husband was lu power, should have "come down" now that the widow needs more money, and, as she very forcibly fays, "must have it." Wbo is thli "very dear friendlf Was he a shoddy contractor? Can any one tell us? We are RiaU tU BO buiv mini umi-y i o ocmo of propriety prevented her lucluding in tbe list of advertised dresses the balf-mourning which the is aaid to hhve put on at the time of the death of PrinceAlbert.

INDIANA. lrlee-fight Between Richard Fitzgerald and Edward Dooney for tlOOO Doo nay Loses the Fight by m Foul Blow. CnicAoo, Oct. 17. This morning a prize-debt occurred at Itobertcdale, about sixteen miles from Ibis city, on the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Koad, between two feather weights, Richtrd Fitzgerald and Kdward Dooney, called by his friends "Young Dooney" or "Dooney the Kid." The fight nrove out ol a difference occasioned by tbe appearance of the two in a trial of spar ring ability at an exhibition of Mcuoole and Jones, given recently in this city. Dooney's friends claimed tor him the most science, and consequently the better of tbe set to, both of which were disputed by Fitzgerald's adherents. The dispute led to a meeting between the friends ol tbe two, and after considerable discussion an agreement was made to fight for a stake of $1000. Fltzeetsld is twenty-two years of age, and Is a native of Liverpool. He has led a roving life, and served in the navy during the war. He bad never fought in the rlne before, though most of his life has been breathed In an atmosphere of pugilism. In appearance he is five feet three mid a quarter Inches in heicht, and measures thiity-eix and a half Inches about the chest, in build he is very muscular, and his constitution is ot the hardiest, he never having known a qay's sickness. Dooney was born In New York Id 1850, and is seventeen jtarsot age. He Is -the son of a laborer living in this city on tbe west side. He Is five feet one inch and a half In height, and weighs one hundred and filteen pounds, very active and stroDg, Bnd a very active boxer. He is aUo a novice, never having been engaged in a regular fight in tbe prize ring before. A special train left this city at 8 o'clock for the fiur.pose of conveying the principals and specta ors to the scene of the tight. Tbe men and tbeir seconds left their training quarters on the night previous, aud were taken on board about a mue ueiow me depot. At o'clock tbe party arrived at the scene of tbe fight, which is tho ame aa that at which Donovan and McGlade fought in 1861. There were present in all about five hundred persqns. trg The ring having been pitched, at twenty-five minutes to 10 o'clock Fitzgerald shied his castor Into the ring, and ' was hailed with great ap- filanse. Dooney Immediately afterwards fol owed, being equally well received. The differ ence in the appearance of the two men was striking. Dooney had evidently been in good condition beloie making tbe match, as his week's training had reduced him but twop&unds. His frame was very muscular, his body had not an ounce ot superfluous flesh on it, aud his step was springy and elastic. Fitzgerald, on the other hand, presented tbe appearance of a man who had undergone too severe labor; his weight had been reduced from 117 to 112 pounds in a week, and be appeared to be too finely drawn about the chest and loius. Each of them seemed confident and cheerful. Betting before the fight was at $100 to $75 on Fitzgerald. Dooney was attended by Pat. AIcDerraott and Georce Drown, the black boy. Fitzgerald was attended by Jerry and Mike Donovan. Frank hey acted as second tor Fitzgerald, and Andy Dufly for Dooney, while Ben Burnish, a Chicago sporting man, was chosen referee. The toss was won by Dooney, and at three minutes to ten the fight began: Round 1 Both sparred cautiously at first, when, without an exchange they rushed to. ether, and Fltz peruld, selr.iug Dooney by the leg to throw him, was hln.aelf heavily thrown.

A sporting event ot unusual interest came off on the Mystic Park, near this city, this afternoon, consisting of a match between James Orlflln, the pedestrian, and the celebrated trotting horse Captain Mc Gowan, the latter being matcbed for $1000 to trot ten miles while Griffin ran five. Samuel ICmerson backed the horse and John Stetson, Jr., backed Mr. Griliio. Griffin had run a great many races of various distances, and the horse McGowan has in the past sbown himself to be the best home in thecouolry for along distance. The articles ot agreement between Messrs. Ptetson and Emerson were entered Into on the 28th ult., and were that the gelding McGowan could not trot ten miles, in harness (the horse being confined strictly to the rules of tbe track), while Griffin r.m five miles. It was stipulated that the man was to toe the scratch and lo score for Ibe word, both to make an even start, and tbe parties making the match to draw for posi tions at tbe start, aud provided the horse iq ahead at the second mile (the man having run one), then tbe horse retains his position, and tbe man to turn out when the horse passes him ; tbe amc at the end of the fourth mile (tbe man going two); tbe same at the end of the eighth mile (the man going four); but providing tbe mnn was ahead on either of tbe heats, then tbe horse was to turn out when parsing him. There waa a larger crowd of spectator gathered to witness the novel contest between man and beast than had beeu assembled on the Park during the season. There probably were not less than 10,000 or 12,000 present, and for an hour before the competitors appeared the bet ting was spUked and heavy. The majority seemed to have confidence In the ability of Griffin to perform his Ave miles to McGowan's ten, and at one time the betting on the man wa nearly three to one; but the general average was in the proportion of seventy-five to a hun dred, and the takers were plenty. At about a quarter-past 4 the horse came upon the track, and was driven a couple of times around. At first he manifested a little lameness, but it soon passed away. At half-past four Mr. Griflin came upon the track in a carriage, and was received with hearty cheering. lie toed the scratch, acd when the horse came down even, he started off with him. McGowan took the lead, of course, and gained all the while. Griliio started at a pre ty smart gait, and kept it up lor the first mile, making it considerably in advance of McGowan's two miles. Upon completing the third mile, however, which was done in 1742!, it was observed that the man was rapidly tiring, and he had not proceeded more than a dozen rods on the fourth mile when he gave out altogether. The time of the several three miles which Grif fin completed was 628, 6-024, and 612. When Griffin bad finished bis third mile the horse had completed his sixth and been gone some twenty seconds on the seventh. He continued to trot the ten miles after the man had been declared "distanced,11 making them in . SO minutes 6 seconds, the time ot tbe several miles being as follows: 2 66, 2-62, 2'55, 2-53J, 2-56, 2'68, 3 00, 3-03-V, 3-15, and 3'20-V. There was great disappointment manifested on thepaitof tbe speclatorj at Gr'ffln giving out so soon, and the explanation offered was that be had beeu suffering from rilness. Pickens' New Preface to " America. Notes." The twelfth volume of the Diamond Edition of Charles Dickens' works has just been issued. It contains "OlWerTwIst," ' Ploiuree from Italy," and "American Notes for General Circulation." The "Notes'' have this new preface: "My readers have opportunities of Judging for them selves whether the In II ut nee and tendencies which I distrusted lo America bad any existence but in my Imagination. They can examine for them selves whether there has been anything In the pubiiocareer ofthat country since, at home or abroad, wblcn stiKgesta mat thenu Influences aud tendencies realiy did extst. As they find tbe fact tbey will Judge roe, If they discern any evidences of wrong aomg In any direction I have Indicated, tbey will acknowledge that I bad reason In what I wrote. II they discern no such thing, they will consider me altogether mistaken but not wilfully. Prejudiced I am not, and never have been otherwise than In favor of .the UDlted Btates. I have many frleuds In A dp erica, I feel a grateful Interest la tbe country I hope and believe It will work out a problem of the highest importance to the human race. To represent we as viewing America with ill-nature, coldness, animosity. Is merely to do a very foolish thing, which is always a very easy one." CALIFORNIA. Ttoa Beswlt of th Judicial Klactlona Probable Success of tho Republicans Unsatisfactory- Operation at tho Now Alxnaden Mines. Sam Francisco, Oct. 17. The election has been very clone. The Republican candidate may be elected for Judge of the Supreme Court, but the contest is indicative of no political feel ing in tbe State. A short vote aud personal popularity has had much to do with the Repub lican successes. Operations at the New Almaden mine for months past have proven unsatisfactory. Tbe expenses are in excess of receipts, the ores are of an inferior quality, amd the prospects for the future are uncertain "The Last Trump Card," a new comedy by Mr. Palgrave Simpson, is in rehearsal at the Prince of Wales, Liverpool. Mr. Forrest made his first appearance on the Boston stage as "Damon," February 5, 1827. The receipts were $341. When he played "Richard III" they rose to $945.
