The Wanderer of Vienua says that tbe rec ent attacks ot the Russian pre-s on Prus sia were but a ma-k to avert attention from tbe close relations ot the two Powers. Njwthat they are ready they drop the ma-k, and tbe interview between the two fovere'gns reveals to the world the fact ot their close Intimacy. Tha Avenir A'a'iona' hopes that in the lace ot such grave facts Fiaure is not eolug to engage in "a mad enterprise api'iist Germany." Such an enterprise could only succeed "by having Aus tria as an ally, and the late visit of Prince Napo eon has proved that Austria cannot or will not aid us against Prussia." . An I'M iiiiatiim, M. E. GlrarJin, in the Liberie of August 18, puts forward the ultimatum of France iu the following demuuds: ' We demaud tuat the work of 1829 should be resumed, aud that negotiations should be opened With Prussia on this basis: Prussia to be allowed to iocoroorate tbe whole of the Saxon territory, as she has incorporated Hanover, under tbe cond tl in that she will concur in and actively promote tbe formation of a Franco-German State, compre hending Belgium, KuenUli Holland, Hbenish Prussia, RhenisU Ilense, and KheuisU Bt varia, to be ruld over by the King ot Baxmy, under ibo title of "King of the fcliiue Country,' or some sucli uanif.

THE NEW REBELLION. A ItriHiblicnn Meeting Ansnllcclj by Rebel Cut-throat. A correspondent writing to the Missouri Democrat, from Edwardsville, III., on Filday last, tajs: Our town yesterday witnessed a display of Democracy iu its black est ch iracter. This account is written wnb no interest other thin to give a trutbtul record of matters as tney actually occurred. You have already been informed of our mass meeting In tuis pl ice yes terday. Tbeie was a disposition shown at an early stasc of the meeting to create a disturb ance. General Palmer had spjken but a tew moments when a fast young man of this place jaseed near the speakei's stand and began tbe shouting for Seymour. This man's nauie is Fred. UueemacV, and he keeps a sort of jewelry establishment in thin town. He was soon joined by kindred spirits, aud their evil liittDt was evident, which was to break up the meeting. Tne annoyance was very sreat, aud our otEcers evidently were atraid to punish the offenders. They did no more at least than to temper sligh'ly the impendine fury. Several affrays occurred dur ine the day to the great acnovance of the audience. At night tbe evil spirit raeed still more. The disturbers in every Instance were Uimocrats. They comprised a certain ring, however, of which the following persons were the leaders, viz., Michael Desmond, Fred Unge mach, Phil. Creamer, Mike McCovern, Nixon & Co. As the torchlight procession was forming, Mike De.-mond led oil by kuocking a torch from some one's band. Great contusion ensued for a few moments. This apparently being settled, the procession was lormed, and proceeded tbroueb the streets, attended, however, by a motley crowd of roughs shoutiug lor Seymour, Davis, and all the dlsgustiDg epithets that suggested themselves to their depraved imagi rations. But suddenly the assassin Desmond rushes into the crowd, aud, with drawn revol ver, crushes the skull of a quiet, peaceful, hitbly esttemed citizen of Troy, in this county The deed done, Booth-like, he brandisues his weapon aud exclaims, "I did It." Surrounled by bis aimed confederals, be flies, and is not yrimicsicJ. William Henderson, tbe Innocent victim, is dead, aud a worthy fainilv bereft of its bead and support iu the prime ol his life. I do not charge the Democratic parly with the crime. But the murderer and his allies, the inciters of the trouble, weie all Democrats. Murderous Attack on a Republican Meet Iiik ol' 4 liicaurn Tanners. The specials to Thb Evening Telegraph on Saturday lam gave some of the particulars of thiaallray; bat the following, from the Chi cago tost of the 28th, ia more in detail: Last night, at about ten o'clock, the announce ment ot a political riot iu the Eighth Ward caused a eieat excitement in the city, Repub licans who were acquainted with the viruleat type of Copperheadism pervading the district In question, aud the despera'e extremities to which Sevmoui's "irinds" can proceed m tbe practi cal demonstration of their friendliness, were unpiepand tor sucb a murderous outrage as was perpetrated last night with the tacit con nivance ot to Democratic Aldermen. The atlair intoto reflects iu tbe most disgraceful and humiliating manner cu tbe instigators of the riot, who in their demeanor and language proved tullicieutly tbe insincerity ot their bowl ings lor universal freedom of speech. It has re sulted in the murder of an innocent young mau, aud iu severe injuries to several others, and in showing more clearly than ever the demoniac spirii of tbe bogus Democracy. A call had been issued some day since for a mas mfeiingof Irish Republicans, to take place at No. 381 Blue Island avenue, at the corner of Mitchell street. Tne chair was Usurped by Democratic Alderuitu P. C. Raflerty.who nominated Mr. Thomas Hslplne for piesidin officer, adroitly teigniug ignorance of the object aud purpose oi the assembly. Mr. John Pope Uodnett, tbe Irish Republican ora'or. oy whose euorts, very largely, ine meeting naa been announced, was called upon lor a speech, and was promisi d the wildest liberty of asser tion, provided that he allowed his statements to be criticized and discussed by a Democratic suc cessor. These terms he readily embraced, but on his stating the object of tbe meeting a gang of roughs of tbe vilest character, who were banded together under tbe anything bat appro priate title ot "Yv hue ujys in uiue." seeiug that they were the unwashede-t representatives of tbe Democratic "great uuwa;be J," proceeded to drown h's voice with jells, shrieks, and groans. This outbreak of Copperhead intole rance brought Aldermau Comiskey to his feet. Alarmed at the prospect, he besought tbe rioter to listeu iu sileuco to Mr. Uoduett, and cited tbe boast ot the party that they alone were tbe advocates of tree speech, as an argument in favor of tranquility. His pla'ntive appeal had the etlect ot lulling the s'orni for a bort period, but the entry ot the Irish Tanuets was the signal for the crowning outbirst of Copper head ferocity. Armed with torch taves, minus the torchps, the "While Boys iu Blue" ru.-hed luiiously on their astounded victims, who were peaceably standing in the centre of the hull. J he scene which followed was of the most ex citing nature. From the struggling crowd, where clubs and fl.igs and tO'Ch stlcks waved and fluttered in the wildest confusion, horrid Rebel jells and groans and blasphemy pro ceeded. The burning torches ot the Tanners weie ovirturne 1, aud the oil aud tlame scat tered about ibe room, sottiim tire tothebuill ing in several places, and requiring instant attention to prevent destruction. Clubs, lasts, slungsliots, and even revolvers wern used, aud the Tuners, taken by sarpriBe by the evi dentij preconcerted assault, end greatly over powered, were driven out luto the s'reet. Here the riot stii) raged, ouvlng stones biiu called into requisition in addition tothe other weapons, and it shewed likely that many would be killed. The a'arm had been seut to the Twellth street police siutiou, and a squad of flUPen I ol cemen under Brgeaut Garnty came on the d utile qme.k to the ste-ie. Ca; tain Kennedy of the West Divisiou polic also hurrlud do wn in a buggy, and, rising up, oriWred the crowd to dis perse. Tue presence ot tbea peacemaker hi 1 ihe desired effect, abd the rioVr begau to sppi rate, when fome one ra'sed tin Rebel yell or "emour aud Blair." and for a monieut it seemed as if the assault would be reued. The police, however, succeeded in arreistiu-, three men. who gave their names as Tom BIcMnhoo, William Kainp, and William U ill more, and the rioters quieted down and gradually dispersed. Eleven lueu were injured, live ol them seriously. TUE WICKEDEST MAN. Allen Cloe hl New York Dance Ilonne-Ile Will Carry a Hod Sooner Than Open It Again. The New York Tnbun$ of this morning gives tbe following interesting account of the wicked est man Allen's new resolve: The wickedest man In new York shut up bis dauce-house on Saturday night. As tbe clock struck twelve, and the babbith crossed tbe verge of midnight, the Internal den was closed, nevermore, Jobn Allen says, to be opened as a dance-house. Having heard it numored that the wickedest man had actually and finally sbut up shop on SaturJay niftht, we went down there yisterday to take an observation aud learn the exact fac s of the case. Arriving at iNo. 304 Water street, we found the ttoor closed, and the following note posted on the door: 'THIS DANCK-JIOUSE 13 CL03KD 1" "No gentlemen sdmltied unless accompanied by their ives who wun to emptor Mllui as d mrs In. JOHN ALLu-N." There were groups of people in the street talking about the Wickedest Man's unprece dented course, and some unfriendly feeling toward him was disco vera lie, although tue balance ot feeling was decidedly in bis favor. We rapi ed at the doc r, and It was opened by a hale, i lean-shaved, aud e'ean-shirted man, iu bis shirt sleeves, of muscular proportions, und rather good-looking. "Are you John Allen?" we asked. "V es, sir," be replied. "Are jou the Wickedest Man in New York ?" ' Some sensaiion reporters bave called me so." he responded; "but don't consider mvself such, aud my neighbors don't either. There isn't anybody in the ward that would call me so." Will you answer a few plain questions?" we asked. "To the best of my ability I will " replied the wickedest n an; aud thereupon the following dialogue ensued : Reporter ' Have jou shut up your dauce house for good ?" Allen "Yes, sir; I shut it up for good last niehtat 12 o'clock." Reporter "What made you quit the business?" Allen "Bucause I hnve coiie to the conclu sion that it is wrong to keep sucb a place; aud also to gratify my poor old lather, who is totter ing on the brink of the grave, aud my brothers and sistets, w ho are all respectable people; and also tor the sake of my children, to whom I want to set a pood example " Reporter "Don't you ever intead to keep a dance house again?" Allen "Not if I can help it." Reporter "What do you mean by 'if you can help it?' " Allen "I mean if I can find anything else to niHke a living at." Reroittr "But they say you are rich. What do ou want employmeut for?" Allen "Well, it I am rich, I can't be idle. I must do something. I like au active life." Reporter "Theu if you c in't do bettei, you'll go back to keeping a dunce-house again? Is that what you mean ?" Allen "No, sir, I'd carry a hod before I'd go into the dance-house buness again. I've done evil enough, and now I'm going to try to do some good." (Spoken with emphasis). Reporter "How many dance houses are there In this street?" Allen "About twenty, I should judge." heporter-"lIow many gins apiece do they average ?" Allen "Five or six; some have only two or three. Mine was largeri averaged about six teen." Reporter "How long do the girls live, as a general thlnK?" Allen "They average about five yeirs, but some arc used up in one year. I've one girl that has been with me twelve years." Reporter "What is the nationality of the girls?" Allen "More than half are Irish; the other half are divided up among nearly ail nation alities." Reporter "now has the recent notoriety, occasioned by Mr. Dyer's ankles, atl'ectei tue business ?" Allu. "It has hurt It caused us to bo over run with clergymen aud other resectable peorle, aud triehUned oil the customers." Reporter "What are you going at, now that you've given up the dance-house business ?" Allen "Can't say just now. Shall beglu to look around after awhile. Am in no hurry. Shall wait for thiugs to quiet down." Allen was perfectly trauk iu his speech and manner, line a mau who has made up bis mind, and sees his way clearly. He went into the daLce-bouse business seventeen years ago, he said, "merely as a lark just lor a little mn, you know I" intending to stay in it only for a month or so; and there he has been ever since. Kis tather, bis brothers, and his sisters who are all good Christian people, aud ot whom be sueuis to be proud and loud on boding him out, sought by every mcaus iu their power to wiu him'lrom his nefarious biioiness, and they have clung to him and followed him with their tears and their prayers during all those seven teen hopeless years a remarkable instance of family aileciion aud laithtuluess. Mr. Dvcr, in bis explorations ot the shady side ot Kew York, first came upou Allen about two jears ago. He at once became interested In him, recognized him as the bell wether of the whole dauce-house flock, and set to work to study him up, determined, it possible, to rescue tbe interesting wretch, and get htm to help break np tbe dance-house business. When he got ready, and opportunity offered, Mr. Dyer wrote bis first "Wickedest Man" article for Foclnrcfs Mor.thly. He aimed the screed directly at Jobn Allen's heart at whatever of family pride and parental affection there might be lett iu him. It was a dead bit. It filled the "Wickedest Man with terror and shame. He wept over it in rage and uioriidcatiou. Ilia lamily came down on him airesh. He learned that his sged father was stricken to the heart by the article, and that his tavorite brother had tainted away on reading it, Uls pet son came crying home lrom school, saying ho wouldn't go any more because all the boys said his father was tbe wickedest mau in New York. His deu w as overrun with respectable visitors to such au exteut as seriously to damage bis business, aud so be cursed the visitors and the "mlscraolo Dyer" who had sent them there, and raved, aud snore, and, to use his own words, "ruu on rum heavier than ever." At last, Mr. Dyer's second "Wickedest Man" article came out in tbe August number of "Packard," at the close ot which he gives Alleu's piomise to quit his busiueas by the first ot ,May next, expresses his belief that ho will keep l is promise, and wiuds up by saying that the Wickedest Mau In New York "ohall yet win a name ot which his children, whom be so pas siouately loves, need uot be ashamed, and shall jet establish a character which will sutler those children 1 plant flowers upou his grave with out blushing lor the memory of their deud lather lyii a beneath the sod." When Allen read these lines he wept again, rot wih rage aud shame, but with remorse and ripentauce. To quote his owu words: 'When 1 read what Mr. Dyer says about my children's yet pluming flowers on my grave, and not blushing at my memory, I tlt us though I wanted that to be to; aud 1 kept reading it over aud over, and at lust 1 said, 'It' I live long enough that shall be so!' aud I bave read it almost every day since, aud every lime I have said, 'It shall be so if 1 live.'" fortunately, ibis man had sagacious Chris tian friends to encourage him in his good reso lutions. Dr. J. M. Ward, of Newark, N. J., a eenileuian of wealth aud cultuie, has been un remitting iu his efforts to win Allen lrom his career ot sin: aud Mr. Albert C. Arnold, of tho Howard Mission, has labored to tho same end with enlightened zeal and iuv.ncible hope. Two weeks ago Mr. Arnold accompanied Alleu home to the "Wickedest Man's" lather's house, wheie a family council had beeu called for the purpose of making a determined effort to in duce him to quit his ihaoilui biuluess, Ihe result wai hopeful. Allen returned to the city deeply imorcssed with a sene of his duty to bis true-hearted, faithful relatives, if not to God ai d decency. His trlends in the city fol lowed up tbe attack. When Mr. Van Meter re turned lrom Knrope be joined his arguments and persuasions to tho.-e ot Dr. Ward, Mr. Arnold, and Mr. Dyer. But tbe devil bad his acen'i at work alio Allen's neighborssot wind of what was going on, aud made a dead set at him. They abused him, and ridiculed hlra; called bim a Methodist, wante 1 to know when be was going to join the church, and did all tney could to keep hi in fiom "going over to the enemy." as tbey called bis meditated abandon ment of tbe dance honse business. "Why don't you kick tnim prayin' fellers out'n jour boHse?'' indignantly exclaimed one ol his alarmed neighbors. "Yoa're a lcttio' 'em come ruuniu there so much, a sinem' their camp nieetin' hymns, that ef yo l don't look out you'll soon be as bad as any oi 'em 1" But Alleu's true friends gained steadily on him. He began to stop swearing and using obscene laneunge, and "ran liehcer on rum." One day, when Mr. Arnold expostulated wi'h dim for swearing, he said, "ThaJa right, Arnold. 1 want to stop tho use ol bad language, and whenever jour hear me use a profane word or a foul word, you ju-t say to me, 'How do you purse that, John?" and I'll take the hint. And he has actually made great progress iu comeli ness of speech, and also In sobriety. The truth is, this "Wickedest Man" is an origiual and marked charscter. He reminds us of those generous-hearted pirates and highway men whoa- novelists aud poMs bave so delighted to depict, and who bave been celeora'cJ In song and story for tbe handsome manner in which they hail cut the throats or bio wa out the brains of their victims to obtain, and who finally, as the French Cardinal said of Louis XV, "made the amende honorable to God, and died In the arms of the Redeemer." Allen would stop in tbe very riot and carnival ot his dance-house to go out and help a poor child or roor man in distress and then return seven-told more a child of IWl tbau before. Oue morning, a lew weeks agi, be came rushing over to the Howard Mission to get somebody to go and read tbe Bible and pray with a dying tenant of hi" for he is tho owner of houses and lands. Finding Dr. Wat d and Mr. Arnold, he said: "There's a tpnant of mine over here dying. He's a poor printer. H"5 can't live more than twentv-tour hours; and you know, gentlemen, that when a man feels this world slipping out from nnder him, there's oulyone thing that'll do, and that is tbe Saviour. I've beeu out ot practice twenty years, and can't read and pray with the poor fellow, but jou can. So come alone.'' And he took them to the dying man'i bedside, and sat revereutly by while tbey read the Bible and prayed with him; and when the man died he saw to his funeral, and had him decently buried, and then went back to his dauce-house and had a red-hot evening of it. There is many a Christian landlord in thlscity who would not look after a dying tenant like that, any more than he'd keep a dance hou-e. Yesterday atteiuoon Allen attended religious services at the Howard Mission. At the close of tbe service it wan annouueed that Alleu had shnt up bis dance house, and that be would make a iew remarks. Coming forward with diffidence and hesitation, he said: THE WICKEDEST MAN'S MAIDEN SPEECH. "My Friends Ladiea aud Gontlemeu: I'm not accusiomed to addressing audiences, and don't iutend to say much. I've been called the Wickedest Man in New York, and I have done a good deal of evil, but I'm sorry for my past life, and intend to see if I can't now do a little good. I surpose I shall bave a bard time ot it, and often get set back oue way and another, but if my Christian friends will stand by me, I hope I shall hold out, and do some good. I'm most obliged to jou lor your cvunwj, uaA win io tho best 1 can." Allen's manner was modest and straightfor ward, aud he seemed to be sincere in his inten tion to retorm. Mauy gentlemen shook him cordially by the band, and promised to stand by him In his ell'oris to atone for his past life. The Rev. Dr. Burlinghara, of St. Louis fol lowed Allen. He said that he had rea I the ac couut of Allen's life, bad seen and talked with him the day before, and believed that he would keep his word, aud never oppn his dance-house again; that the announcement would ring through the land, and fill thousauJs of hearts With joy. In the evening there was a prayer-meeting at Allen's old dauce-house. No. 304 Water street, which was largely attended. The services were conducted by Mr. Arnold. The impression made was doep and Intense. The dance-hoase girls were in atteudai.ee, and so was Alleu's wife. Allen htmself seeinett to enjoy the meet ing', and joined heartily in the singing of every hymn. There was considerable excitement out side, but tho police kept everything quiet. To day, at Vi o clock, a regular noonaav praver nieeting is to be inaugurated at No. 304 Water street, and the house is to be turned into a mission, an asylum, or whatever eUe the Chris tian friends ot Ailen shall determine upon. Allen penciled off the following card, which is a sl'ght exteusion of the notice posted ou his door, aud banding it to us, requested its publi cation. It Is as follows: "The dauce-house No. 304 Water street is clog' d. No gentlemen admitted unless accom panied by theii wives who wish to employ Mag dalens as domestics. John Allen." He writes a good, free hand, and spells cor rectly. He seemed very anxious to have every .one believe that he is in earnest. To Mr. Dyer, who was present at tbe prayer meeting, he said : "You lighted (this fire; now you must help put it out." 'With great pleasure," replied Mr. Dyer; "bow shall I begin?" "Stand by me in my efforts to be abetter man," responded Allen; "and say in your next article that from your last interview with John Allen jou are convinced that he deeply regrets his past life aud is determined henceforth to do what pood he can." Mr. Dyer said he would say that, and would stand by Allen in his efforts at reform. To a suggestion that Alleu would be set upon by the devil and all his hosts, and would find it bard to shake off the grip of the Kvil Oue, he exr laimea: "Oh I I sl au't mind the devil; T am'going to rut him, and shall hereafter do business with his boss." At a late hour last evening the lat of Allen's friends withdrew from the notorious house, with promises to be present at the noonday prayer meeting to day at 12 o'clock. The indi cations are that thee will b a large attendance at No. 304 Water street to day, and what the end of the business will bo it is impossible to predict. Texas has ft large peaoh crop. Fillmore denies that he has the goat. The Sultan is fond of French novels. Monroe, Ohio, has 48,000 grape vines. Perfnmed gloves "for bets" are advertised for eale at Saratoga.

Special Detpatch to Th Evening T torapK. 1'roirrfKN of the Militia mil Ieinocratlo Ievicc to leteat lit I'atttatfe. Nashville, Aug. 30. The Militia bill has passed the lower branch or the Legislature of Tennessee, only sixteen members voting against it. The Senate, bofore taking action upon it. is waiting lor the report of the Joint Military Committee, and meantime the opposition are tusking ue of every possible means to defeat it befote that body. Among other things they are circulating reports about the Intention of the President to employ U. 3. troops against the militia. The Butch conversation with the President ha9 doubtless been exaggerated. Per sons who are well informed in reference to Mr. Johnson's sentiments, declare that the only opin'on he has expressed in the matter, is that a 8tate has no right to keep up a stauding army. The Democrats held a meeting on tho public square, on Saturday, to protest against the passage of the bill by the Senate. Speeches were made by ex-Governor Neil, S. Brown, A. S. Colyar, and others. Colyar threatened armed resistance. The House of Representatives did a good thing on Saturday. The Senate had passed a joint resolution to send a commissioner to An drew Johnson to ask him to furnish U. S. troops to protect tbe people. When it got iuto the House, Mr. Tbornburgh, of Uranger, offered the following as a substitute: Resolved, By the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, that his Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the Unite 1 States be, aud be is hereby earnestly requested to furnish suf ficient troops to the State ot Tennessee to protect the law-abiding citizens from acts of violence committed by lawless bands now rovlug over the counties, and to assist the civil officers in the execution of the laws. Fesoived, That the Speakers of the two Uouses, and the Secretary of Sta e, immediately trans mit this resolution to his Fxcjllency by tele graph, aud request an immediate reply. This was adopted on Saturday by a vote of 35 to 31. FROM WA S H INO TON. A Sclnietr.eiifest. Despatch to the Associated Press. Washington, Aug. 31.
