Tlffi DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1868, 8 WHOLESALE KIDNAPPING. Mysterious Disappearance t CbHdra la Cbleatj, Tlit Chicago Repub'icanol Monday last says: 'For over a jcar there ha not passed a smgls week in which sonic foud mother who has Tainly waited and watched with strained heart airings for the return ot her little darling who ba suddenly and without warning been spirited away irom her forever. The anxious search ing of flic Btricken father has In many case ruct with bet poor success, and the desolation that has thus settled don upon their once happy homes Is rarely removed. But the iu cvltable sriudiug of "the mills ol the godi" still goes on, and retribution, sooner or later, a mero question of time, is sure to overtake the evil doer. Events which have very lately transpired in our city give proiniso that the mystery or these fearlul disappearances is at last to be un veiled. One week ago to-day a family residing near the outskirts of Chicago were returning to their homes from church. It was about 5 o'clock iu the atternoun, ana me miner una mother wrro walking leisurely along, while their boy, an unusunlly intelligent lad of too years, stragpled a little way ahead. Toe parents bad pasted West Twelfth street, when they discovered for the first time that their boy was missing, and though iutormation wai at once given to the police, aud every exertion passible put forth for bis recovery, no tidings wa4 received of the misbiug child until last Friday evening, when he walked Into bis home as unconcerueuly as though he had been gone but an hour. The story which he ihen unfolded was of a strau'jeiy peculiar charactT, and the many l'lculents he had to relate concerniug his absence would fill the pages ot a tirst-class novel, and cuu be touched upon but bilctly at the present time. , lie slates that on the evening In question be lad jus-t turccd a corner, hiding him lrom his pareuts, wLen a laree man, drivlug a conmon business wagon, (-lopped neur the sidewalk, aud eruipiughiui around the waUt, threw him Into the vehicle, and having covered him with a broad, thick cloth, drove rapidly away. The boy bhvb that the man Iniiinidutcd hltn by re peated" threats of killing him in case ho should cry out or make the least noise. According to the statetneut of tho lad they drove all ninht, and about six the next morning arrived at a large double house, with a heavy stone basement, into which he was at once con ducted, lie says that he was shown Into a spi cious room, in which were some sixteen boys nd girls, most of whom were youuger than himself. A colored woman with a child was also in the apartment, and she, as well as all the other Inmates of the apartment, had her mouth firmly covered with a email plaster. The object ol the strange muzzling seems to have bet n to prevent them making such noise hs would alarm tho neiebborbood; for three times a day a wgmau came down fiom tne upper part of the house, and with the aid of warm water, removed the piaster from the prisoners' mouths, allow ins them to feed one at a time. No harm was otlered him. or, as he saw, to any of the rest. Tho youth said that he stood that eort of thing as lonir as be could, and last Sunday lnoru-.iiu determined to suil't, a little tor himself. Awakening at about 3 o'clock he continued to break through tbe bash of one of the windows without alarming the iumates of the house, and thus escaped into the yard. This he found surrounded by a high board fence, nud well fhaded with fine trees. Climbing one of these, he saw that he was not fur lrom a r.iilroad, and, having descended, he scaled the fence aud waited outside the enclosure until, an early traiu passing, he was taken aboard, aud con veyed to this city. The plaster was removed from his face by one of the brakesmen, and he was thus enabled to return to his home in a presentable manner. The affair rests here at present, but Deputy Superintendent Sherman, With his accustomed energy and perseverance, Is on the track of the auiliy parties. He has alo detailed two experienced detectives who will spare no pains to ferret out all the deUUs of this strtmt'tly Incomprehensible oilair. The lad is in their charge, and tlioy have pone with him to the country, following the railroad by which he returned to town. BOB BURY. S12,000 Stole from tba East Fraaclsco Hiat. The Alia Ca'ifornian of July 17, says: Some five or six months since another defal" cation or swindle was discovered in the sub" treasury departmeni at the mint in this city It was found that the Government had Ioj1 some $12,000 by an iueenious system of fraud An outside broker would buy "low bars," that Is to say, bars of low grade gold, say six hun dred or seven hundred fine, and deposit then in the mint for coinage. The computing clerk in the sub-treasurer's office would then make his returns on the bars at a higher grade, sy eight hundred and upwards, aud by collusion with other parties, as is supposed, certificates of assay representing considerable more than the actual amouot deposited would be issued to the broker, and by him sold. To do this quite a cemplicated system of alte rations aud false entries was required, but the cause of the deficit was well covered up lor a long time. The broker aud Mr. Sill, the com puting clerk, were indicted, and tho latter, leaving his bondsmen In the lurch, left for the East. Marshal Hand followed him East, but the fugitive doubled on him and returned here some two weeks since. Yesterday It was ascertained that he was concealed in this city, and Deputy Marshal Worth, Captain Lees, and Detective Fuller found him at the Vernon House and ar rested him. The thai will probably now take place immediately. V1NNIE REAM. Her Htfttue of Abraham Llacola. Your correspondent recently visited the studio of pretty Yinnie Beam and her statue of Abraham Lincoln.

Vwo Men Have) Wk,lr Ar-- ghot Awy Tho Louisville Courier of Mouday lat says- A terrible accident occurrd at the great Demo cratic festival at Big Springs, four wilei east of Jetfersonvllle, yesterday morning, about half past 10 o'clock, and just belore the arrival of Governor Branilette upon the ground, a ix- f ounder had been placed in a coininiindinq posl ion on one of the steep hills overlooking the beautiful glen, where the speakers' stnnd had been erected, and was booming a thundering welcome to the crowd who were constantly ar riving In carriages, waarons, and othr vehicles. The firing was very rapid. Six rounds had been fired, when as the annoniers were loading the gun for the Tenth round, the heat at the brvech had be come so treat that a premature explosion wa the result, and Thomai rowcll aud William Brindle, who stood at the muzzle, tell as the flame belched out, the lelt arm of the former and the rlht arm of the latler shattered terri bly and hanplng limp and useless at their side?. The band of Powell was completely shot away Just above the wrist, and the arm at the elbow was lorn In a shocking manner. The arm of Brindle was terribly mangled from the hand nearly to the shoulder. Not more than half a dozen persons were near the gun at the time of the accident, and it was at first supposed that both Powell and Brindle had been shot dead. Mounted messengers wer despatched to JeffcrsonvlUe for a surgeon, and these passed Governor Bramlstte's eaniage t i furious gallop, as the dlst nguishcd speaker was on his way to the Springs, in company with Colonel Caldwell. The wounded men were taken home to Jeffer onvllle, where they both reside Powell, on revlvlnij, pershteutly cheering for Seymour and Blair. Both men were veteran soldiers of the Union army Powell having served In tho 12th Indiana battery, and Brlndlo hftvlng been a member of one of the infantry regiments of that State. They were, we are informed, members of the Republican party up to the time wheu Its usurpations caused so many of the true men of that organization to enroll themselves beneath the Democratic banuers. Both had families and were poor. CITY INTELLIGENCE. FOR ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS SEE INSIDE PAGES, J A MURDEROUS FRACAS. now la tha Third District A. Womaa Assaulted Pollcamaa to tha Rescue Vbey are Severely Ilamdlad Oaa of Thin Dtigiruuily Stabbed Arrast of tha Parties Implicated. A serious affair, having somewhat the charac ter ol a regular ro v, occurred last night shortly alter 9 o'clock, at Front aud Wuluut steels, 'f ue hour ot 9 in the evening always brings to that section ot the city comparative quiet. Tho pliices of business are all closed; the very lights of the lamps are gloomy seemingly dim. Un like the more crowded streets near by, where both citizens and officers congregate m num bers, ihe neighborhood ol tho streets mentioned Is almost det-titute of the first, while the latter are but rarely seen together, aud are stationed at intervals TBther remote. While walking there jou instinctively grasp your cane with a firm hold, and are wary of corners and narrow alleys. As policeman James Canine, of the Third Dis trict, was paiiolling there at the time 6taled, be cucouutered a woman. A word or two of salu tation passed between them as they passed. At this juncture a man approached, addressed a remark to the woman, aud, without further warning or any provoca.b.n, caught her by the throat and struck her iu the face. The police man witnessed the b'ow heard her cry, aud at once hastened to interfere. Seizing the man he asked him the cauie ot his attack. With au OHih the other made reply that if he was not re leased he would strike his captor. Noihiug daunted, the officer, an old soldier, a man of powerful and athletic irame, deterraiued now to arrest the lollow. Ho was just tightening his hold when he was surrounded by a party of some fifteeu or twenty men, evidently the com panions of his prisoner. He did not hear their comii'g they appeared iu a body and must bae been lurslng close at hand. This was on Walnut street, between Front and Water, in stantly a fight ensued. The prisoner was torn from tie officer's grasp, and he himself was knocked down. Almost defenseless, lying upon the uround, lie yet made such resistance a he could with his billy. Of little avail, that poor stick, they jumped upon him, kicked him. and stabbed him. A severe cut was inflicted uudcr his rirrht arm, auother across his breast. Wounded, ns tic was, aided by the darkness, he niuntmud to crawl irorn under their teet. and cet upon the outskirts ot the half-druuaen, riotous crowd. Rising to his feet he a.'ain went at them. ComniiuKlud umontr themselves. many upon one, they tailed to notice him at first, and struck, for a time, wildly at each other. Camac alsj suoceeded in knocking down some iniee or lour or rue renows. Reserve Officer James D. IIovley, hearing the clamor, burned, up, but only to receive treat ment similar to that which Camac received He was likewise felled to the cround several times, and. altboutrh be had bis loaded pi-tol iu his baud, such was the confusion and press that belore he could use it, the barrel was broken from the stock. He ma le his billy do good ser vice, however and managed to keep tne crowd at bay until the arrival ot Officer William Blan ford of the Third District, and Officer XI. P, Hunter, of the Harbor Police. The former of them was struck in the head, the latter, as the lellows were beginning to be frightened at the rapid coming of the police men and were dispersing, escaped without being hurt. The rioters rau in every direction. Some took to their heels along Water street, oibers made tracks up Walnut. One ot them who bad lost his hat in the squabble, fled throueb Granite street. A citizen coniins that way was almost run down by his precipitate flight. The fellow stop ped a moment, struck by a sudden thought, and covered his own head by unceremoniously un covering that of the other. As be turned astin to run, he told the amazed and now. hatless gentleman, that it he was followed, or any alarm was given, he would make use of a pistol which he sitfulticiini!y displayed. Officers Oamac, Howling, and Blanford were pretty well beaten. Camac, in addition to his other wounds, was bitten in the nose. Howling was also bitten in the same place. Camac was taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Tho phy sician, alter examining bim, stated that his wounds were very serious, but not necessarily istal. The healthy condition of his body and his powerful constitution will, in all likelihood, save his lite. The doctor aleo said, however, that it would rot be advisable to admit the prisoners to bnil for at least two days and probably not before a week. Three arrest. were made, John Carritran, Lawrence Tobin, and James Keating. Officer Camac, who, after tho at) ray, made an affidavit, implicates all of them in tie assault upon him. Carrigaii, lor whom the police had been watchful all ninht, was arretted by Officer Hamilton, about nlue o'clock this morning, upon one of the curs of the Lombard and Sonih Street Line. Keating was arretted at Fifth and Spruce street, about half-past 2 o'clock this niortiug. Lawreuce Tobin, who has hitherto borne the reputation of au orderly and law-abiding citi zen, suriendeced himself to Sergeant Piersou of the Third District, at 2 o'clock this morning. It may probably transpire, when all the circumstances of the affair are brought to litjht thatfl al'hoiiKU the wounded police man positively swears that Mr. Tobin was one ot those who committed tho assault he will be found to have n.it participated. Tho darkness and the necesanrv coetuslou of the fibt, may have inlbli d the officer in his supposition. The prisoners were commuted by Alderman Car penter. Election op Officers.

Ills Visit to Ills Old Horn: The President of the Galena Bank, writing to a relative iu Boston, gives the following account of General Grant's reception in Galena, on his return from Colorado, and of his deportment among the friends of his former home: "Ueneral Oram is here, quietly spending a fortnight in bis home. I sent you a paper containing an account of bis reception. Tne reception was spontaneous and informal, bat genuine and hearty. At the serenade at his house it was not expected that there would be any speaking, bat the erowd called some of as out. I was taken entirely by surprise, bat could not back oat, as I was standing on the porch near the General, and had to say a few words. Ue is in fine health and spirits. Ue walks about town every day in plain citizens' dress, the moat unpretending man in the place. He spent most of the forenoon to-day Bitting with ns in the bank. Ue is one of oar stockholders. In private he is very social, likes a joke and enjoys company. Ue reads the pa pers diligently, keeps himself posted, and has a pretty good idea of the political situation. On Sunday he and his wife and family walked to the Methodist Church, about half a mile, instead of riding in a carriage, as most great men would have done; aud this, too, when his friends have placed horses and carriages at his disposal whenever he chooses to call for them. But he is a radical Democrat in the true sense. If the good people who are dis tressed by the stories told by his enemies in regard to his habits could only look into that clear, calm, serene, and candid fane for a few moments, they would Bay that its wearer con 11 not be a man of bad passions or vicious habits. It is astonishing how such slanders of publio men, if persistently repeated, will oome to be believed by their political oppo nents. and by and by even perplex and dis tress their friends. The only really bad thine his enemies say of General Grant is that he drinks. This would be bad enough, indeed, if true, but nothing could be more false or malicious. Daring all the time he lived in Galena, I never heard of his drinking ardent spirits, and I have never been able to find any man, friend or foe, living here, and who knew his habits, who ooald say that he was intemperate. In fact, there was no more temperate man in the city. That his habits in this respect are the same now, none who know him, and meet him. can for a moment doubt. "But I have dwelt too long on this, for I know you have no doubts on this point. ' We are going to have a big mass meeting here on Friday next, and expect a crowd to see the General. lie will take no part in any political meeting, bat will be at home to see his friends."

Howell Cobb, after his fiendish speech at Atlanta, Ga., a lew da sago, anathematizing and denouncing the Union men of the South, thould remember An Ire w Johnson's scathing rebuke delivered in the Senate in 1860. In re ferring to the seceding members of Buchanan's Cabinet, Mr. Johnson eairi: "Cobb remained in the Cabinet until the Treasury was bank rupt and the national credit disgraced at home and abroad, and then he conscientiously seceded." Such is the man who sets him self up as a censor of men aud morals at the South. The ex Confederates of Tennessee hava commenced "setting up" with the Negro. In the JCiphth (Memphis) District Congressional Convention, held at Brownsville on the 10th instant, the following resolution was adopted: Kesolved, That it the treedmen of this State unite with the Democracy, aud by their votes Eccnre the enfranchisement of the white men who are now disfranchised, common justice and common gratitude demand that we should notdistutb them in any rights they may now possess. Milllgan, the notorious Indiana Copperhead, in a recent speech delivered near Lo'gausport. after arguing the entire equality of the Confede rate soldiers with the boys in blue, proceeded to justify the repudiation of our own war debt, under the same constitutional provisions which, forbids the recognition of the Rebel obligations. All the Democratic campaign documents omit Frank Blair's Broadhead letter, and in many of tbe States that give large Republican majorities, the Democratic State Committees decline to publish hit letter accepting the no mination to the Vice-Presidency. Tbe editor of the Cairo limes, who has just resumed from a trip through Wabash, White, and Edwards counties, Illinois, in company with Hon. D. W. Munn, says that everything looks cheerful for the Republican cause in that part of the State. The Utlca Herald says: Since Mr. Seymour found himself "caught up by the whirlwind,' wo suppose he thinks he Is sure of being trans lated. Vi e have no doubt that he is destined to "go up." 8. L. Pplnk, formerly editor of the Paris (111.) Beacon and B'ade, has been unanimously nominated for Congress by the Union Republi can party of Dakota Territory. A Democratic paper says that in order to secure Sejmour's election they must get out every Democratic voter. Cau't do it, for some of them are In for a number of years. Tbe Cincinnati Gazette predicts that Hamil ton county will give lour thousand majority tor Grant and Colfax. Democratic specifics for the rents in that party. One Beam more.
