"With bis heart In bis hand" bo runs tbd quaint narration tbe "Minister to Mexico" went down to tbe White Sulphur Springs to drink the waters thereof, and try his skill at diplomacy. The mission near the person and Government of the Citizen President of Mexico is a diffioult one, and no man should e3say to fill it without first doing a little in the diplo mats line elsewhere to test bis powers. The "Minister to Mexioo" is supposed to have leaning towards the emphatio ia his every day conversation. A good story onoe went the rounds of the preBS conoerniDg his part ing interview with one Clement L. Vallandigham, whom he had ooca Blon to pass through the lines of his army to the tender embraces of "a body of bravei energetio, and self-saorifiuing men," who just then were not remarkably "representative" in their "reverence and regard for the Union." Said Roseorans to Vallandigham: "Vallandig ham, If you oouie this way again, , I'll hang you!" And now, when this same Roseorans goes down to the Springs to drink the waters and try his unskilled hand at diplomacy, just to get a little insight into the business, and there meets these same "brave, energetic, and self sacrificing men," it is a little singular that he is given such a cor dial reception. A perusal of his letter, how ever, reveals the cause of it all. lie oarried "his heart in his hand," and "tbe representa tive men" knew at a glance that be wa3 not a carpet-bagger. Rosecrans fought as be swears, with great energy and skill, and with unqualified success. Few men who wore the loyal uniform have a brighter record. But Roseorans, in an evil hour, dropped the sword and too up the pen. Now "the pen is mightier than th9 sword," but with this important qualification, that it be wielded by the baud of a man "entirely great." Perhaps the "Minister to Mexioo" has not read tbe entire aphorism. Certain It is that, although as a soldier he is with out fear and reproach, he is remark ably weak in bis syntax and fearfully loose in bis logic A more admirable specimen of ham-strung Eoglish thatf his letter, which we publish elsewhere to-day, has never fallen under our notice. Nasby has been outdone and undone, and that without a resort to eccentricities in orthography. We peruse his first "state paper" again and again, in a rain effort to select the' paragraph which is most charaoteristio, the most utterly defiant of the rules of grammarimd rhetoric. It is a rare morsel from beginning to end, and passes into history as one of the most ourious of the curiosities of literature. But tbe "Minister to Mexioo" gives us full compensation for all bis syntactical vagaries. A "body of brave, energetio, and self-saori. ficing men" were so unfortunate as to "inter pret State lights to conflict with national unity" a caeful perusal of the letter lea la us to infer tht this error of interpretation was their sole offense and the "Minister to Mexioo" is so "full-of solicitude for the future of the country" at the oonsequenoes, that he takes "his heart in bis band," and with no other baggage journeys to the Springs to inform these "brave, energetio, ' and Belf-saorifioing men" that he "sees'1 the results of this conflict in "a violent reaction against them" "State rights," and not the "brave, energetic, and self-sacrificing men" "which is drifting us towards consolidation." "Consolidation," which is but another term for the "semi anarchy such as has existed fr the last three years in ten States of our Union," fills the mind of Rosecrans "full of solicitude." His solicitude is natural; it arises from the fact that be also "sees" that "so great a country as ours even now is oertainly ia to be must have State governments to attend to local details, or go farther and fare worse." Furthermore, "the. oontinuauoe of this semt anaroby" why the "Minister to Mexioo" prefers semi to deini or hcmi in this oonueotion we are not informed "largely inoreases the danger of centralism, swells our national ex. pendlture, diminishes our productions and our revenue, inspires doubts of our politioal and financial stability, depreciates the value of our national bonds and ourrenoy, and places the credit of the richest beiow that of the poorest nation in Christendom." So Roseorans de sires to have an end put to "semi-anarchy," and thereby hopes to save the nation from drifting towards "consolidation." But he has a choice of means, lie is quite unwilling that the great work should be accomplished by "the poor, simple, nnedaoated, landless freed xnen, and the few whites, mostly men who must be needy adventurers, or without any of those attributes on which reliance for good guldanoe or government can be plaoed." Hs desires that the task should bs entrusted to the bands of "that body of brave, energetio and self-saorlficing men who, after sustaining the Confederacy for four years, laid down their arms and swore allegiance to the Government of the United States;" and he furthermore desires to asoertaln whether or not "the senti ments" of that "representative man in reve rence and regard for the Union, the Constitu tion, and the welfare of the country" who aoted as their "trusted and beloved leader" do not ooinolde with his own "solicitudes.". Assured of this coinoldenoe which some of Lis late comrades in arms may be inclined to regard as singular be still further deBlres a "concurrence of opinions and wills, all tending to peace, order, and stability," on the part of "that body of brave, energetio, and self-sacrificing men;" and as an inducement thereto be assures them that be "thinks the Union army thinks," and he "dares say the people of the North and West believe," that "there must be, or there ought to be, a shorter or a surer way to get good government for the South" than through the instrumentality of "the poor, simple, un educated, landless freed men" and the "needy adventurers, without' any of those attributes on wbioh relianoe for good gnidanoe or good government can be placed.'-' And thereupon the "Minister to Mexico" grows grandly elo quent, and slashing through the dictionary with a high band and a reckless spirit, he promises to become the bearer of the pledge of "the brave, energetic, and self-saorlficing men" of the South "to a chivalrous and magnanimous devotion to restoring peace and prosperity to our common country," and not alone to become their messenger of peace, but to "carry that pledge high above the level of party politios, to the late officers and soldiers of the Union army, and the people of the North and West, and ,to ask them to consider it, and to take the necessary aotion, confident that it will meet with a response so warm, so generous and confiding that we Bhall see in its sunshine the rainbow of peace in our political sky, now black with clouds and impending storm." Such is the purport of the first "State paper" of the "Minister to Mexioo I" As a speoimen of literature it is humiliating to the whole American people; as a specimen of elec tioneering trickery it is degrading to the author alone. In downright infamy it is fairly entitled to rank side by side with the revolu tionary letter of Frank Blair lower, even, for it breathes a spirit of abject submission which finds no place in the blustering sentences of the latter. The response of the Southern leaders de mands no lengthy notice at our bands. Its substance may be pressed into a few words. "There is a deep-seated conviction thfoughout the Soutb, North, and West, that the negroes have neither the intelligence nor other qua lifications which are neoessary to make them safe depositories of political powr; the great want of the South is peace and a restoration ef its rights under tlw Constitution; the idea that the Southern people are hostile to the negroes, and would oppress them, were it in their power so to do, is entirely unfounded;" that is about all. TLe history of the past three years brands it, from beginning to end, as a perversion of the truth, as a studied but vain attempt to fores Seymour upon the nation against its will. The Cotton Crop. Bf fobe the war the pro-slavery leaders of the South were arrogant enough to assert and stupid enough to believe that cotton was king. They bad gradually worked themselves into the conviction that slavery was the only true corner-stone of government, and cotton the only true basis of American commercial pros perity. They regarded with indignation any attempt to question this fallacy, and were con temptuously indifferent to arrays of statistics wbioh proved that the real value of the cotton crop fell behind that of a number of other agri. cultural produots, and that it scarcely amounted ' to one -tenth of the gross returns of the manufacturing industry , of the country. Another favorite Southern theory was, that cotton could never be produced in any considerable quantity by free labor, the deduction from these premises being that slavery was abso lutely essential to the industrial welfare of the United States. If these absurdities had no gained credence, it is extremely doubtful whether the secession leaders could have fired the Southern heart by their denunciations of maginary wrongs. The actual faots are that in 1S50 the cotton crop of the South was 2,445,793 bales, and in I860, an unusually favorable year, 5,307,052 bales. Since the war, the yield, as nearly as can be ascertained, was in 1865-6, 2,151,043 bales; in 1866-7, 1,951,988 bales; and in 1867-8, the present season, about 2,200,000 bales. This is undoubtedly a large reduotlon in the cotton crop of this country, but is by no means tanta. mount to the absolute destruction of the crop which was predioted. In a peouniary sense it is indeed more valuable than the crops pro duced before the war, on aocount of the large increase in the prloe; and the prospect" are that in the present year the South will derive a revenue of at least two hundred millions of dollars from her favorite staple. Considering the devastations of the war; the loss of implements, capital, credit, and popu lation; the prevailing disorders and insecurity of life and property; and the many warn, ings which widespread famines have given to Southern districts of the im portance of diversifying their crops by raising at least sufficient food to supply their most pressing necessities, the yield of cotton is much larger than oould have been fairly anticipated. Free labor, in spite of numerous disadvantages, raises nearly as much cotton in 1868 as slave labor raised in 1850, and reoeives a richer reward for its toil than was ever ob tained for a slave labor produot. An addi tional proof is thus given that freedom has not converted the freedmen, as a class, into unproductive idlers. In deed, they remain in their new condi tion as they were before emancipation, the use ful class' of Southern population. The Con federate Generals and politicians who reoently responded to the" letter of General Roseorans, allege that the negroes "still constitute the im. portant part of thoir laboring population. With out their labor the lands of the South would be comparatively unproductive." The authors of the impressive testimony thus1 presented to the publlo seem to be totally uuconsoloui of the force of their own statement. They talk like feudal lords of the dark ages who deemed men disgraced and disqualified for oitizenshtp by useful labor, and they are inspired by none of the modern spirit whioh proteots and re wards the hewers of wood and drawers of water. PITY INTELLIGENCE. IrOR ADDITIONAL LOOAL ITBUS I!fSID- PAOB8. O R I M E. Attempted Anamination or n I-iMly by mi lucciiit-d Ton th. Yesterday afternoon ft Mrs. Anna M. Smith, who had been In the employ of Mr, Andrew O'Kane, a pawnbrotceron Hiilppen street, below Seventh, as a seamstress, was shot bv Andrew O'Kane, Jr., a lad of sixteen years. Toe cause of the Affray is alleged lo be tbe fact tba the father, who in over sixty years of age. and poa setmed of much property, had announced his Intention of marrying Mrs. Smith, who hud come Into bis employ ouly a few munths sub sequent to tbe death or bin wife. It seems that when Mr. O'Kane first made the Announce ment It waa received with much objection by bla children, of whom there are four sons. The two eldest, who are over nee, declared that suoh a project should not be curried out, and made a demand that the lady should be dismissed from tbe store. To this tbe old gentleman refused lo accede at that time. From this time until yes terday, the house whs the scene or continuous broils, and yesterday there was a heated quar rel, wbioh terminated In the sons Insisting upon tbe removal of the (to them) obnoxious Individual. He again declined, but seeing that It would eventuate In a family rupture, he con sented, and told Mrs. Smith the circumstances of tbe cuseand requested her to go home. She compiled, 'ucd had put on her bincet and Hbnwl tor starting out. H-tving bade all good bye, she went on to tbe step, and was In tbe act of ralslDg her umbrella, when the report of a pistol was heaid, aud she dropped to the sidewalk. A large crowd "soon collected about the unfortunate woman, and she whs carfled back Into the store. Believing tbatsbe was dying, two policemen conveyed her to the Hospital, where her wound was ex amined by Dr. Markoe, who found that the ball had penetrated tbe neck under the right ear, bed taken an upward course and hudloJgedln the roof of her mouth. Tho ball was extracted. Her condition last night was dangerous, and no one excepting tbe physician and Father Sulli van were admitted to see her. As soon as the excitement attending the oc currence bad subsided, a search was made for Young O'Kane, but be could not be found. It is said that as soon as he bad heard of the resolve of his father, that he purchased aplRtol and located himself in the alleyway and there awaited tbe coming of Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Bmlth was still very low this morning, and her recovery Is considered doubtful. Young O'Kane has not been seen since yesterday, and of course, has not been arrested. City Gleanings. What to do to-morrow. Do a llttlechurch going. By the way, nearly all our bouses of worship are opened to-morrow for the resumption of religious services. The dust of numiner Idleness which had settled upon Blbleand prayer book, and made faut:tstto wretlbs-upon altar and bench, has all been rtruovedby the carelul brush of the sexton; the lazy 6ptders have beaten a hasty retreat, aud their webs have fluttered through raised windows,; the dark winged bats In the spires have been disturbed In tnelr daily slumbers by the brushes of up-climbing painters, and both apex cross, and entrance thresholds have been brightly burnished. The very heavens have lent their aid in rendering everything clean for tbe morrow. What the puny bucket of the housemaid could not dreuch from dirty side walks, torrents of assisting rain did. Tne religious "weeklies" all look fresh and nice. Smoothly-shaven ministerial chins, broadcloth ministerial coats, aud white ministerial neck ties are everywhere upon the streets. The door Jams of religions publisbing houses are sup. ported by clerical shoulders, and there is a lively trafflo In hymn books. We presume the chnrcbesto-raorrowwlll.be thronged. Happy children will crowd the galleries ana graver elder folk tbe floors. "Gideon's band" it paraded up Ohesnut street this morning In all Us colored glory. Some dozen darkles composed It. Bright brass instruments, and neat grey suits they had. They made, too, as pretty, muslo as you could have wished. You could have imagined yourself on the borders of some clatslo brick-yard pond had you been standing in trout of tbe State House yesterday during tbe storm. The wire-pulling "tree-frogs" who cluster there got wet, and set up a most discordant croaking. In mass meeiiDg to-night the Fire Zjuave Regiment. Enterprising branch branch out. Because a fit in a garment Is good, it does not follow that oue in the person wearing it would be equally so. Judging from tbe number of serious and fatal rencontres which have taken place in this city of late, "Murderous Memphis" oan dub us "Murderous Philadelphia." We, reporters, have discovered that when a speaker informs his andienoe he Is going to be very brief, he mangles tbe king's Eoglish for an hour at the least. Brevity in such cases means endlessness. The Boat Owners' and Captains' Association has a meeting this evening. Those who conduct our places of amuse mentshould not only open their doors for the admission of audiences, but also their windows for the admission of air. It is true that our ballets are quite airy, but they do not supply tbe requisite quantity of oxypen whlou is abont the only bin our people require. Tbe Republicans of the Twelfth Ward fling a "Grant and Colfax" flag lo the breeze, and. assemble in mass meeting this evening, at York road and CallowhlH street. Women have a gin for shopping men havn't. Result: A compromise, by which tbe latter pay the bills of the former for being let off. Bdeolabs Capturbd. A policeman of the Twelfth district, patrollng Glrard avenue, about 1 o'clock this morning, came across two auspi cious characters at Nineteenth street, and took them In to custody. On arriving at the Station House tbey gave tbe names Andrew Squib and George Hoffman. A bunch of skeleton keys and a screw-driver were found on them. The policeman returning to the vicinity of the ar lest picked up a dark lantern, which it Is sup posed they bad dropped. Tbe aooused will have a hearing at the Central Station this af ternoon. Larcbnt of Clothing. Last night James Welsh was taken into custody by Policemen Houston and Soheeta, at Fifth and Carpenter streets, with a quantity of freshly-washed clothing In his possession, which was suose quently discovered to have beentaken from the residence of Mrs. Balrd, on Sixth street, above Marriott lane. Alderman Tlltermary sent Welsh to prison. Assaulting a Female. Last evening a female entered a house at Venn and South streets, and showed a disposition to carry off something. The proprietors of the place at tempted to eject her, when one John Connelly, alias "Reddy Rush," interfered and knocked the woman of the house down. He wasarrested, and on being taken before Alderman Tllter mary was committed for trial. Fire Last Night. A dwelling-house situ ated on the Wlssablokon, opposite the Megar gee Mills, took Are last evening abont half-past 8 o'clock, and before the flames were extln tingult-hed the whole upper portion was de stroyed. It was owned by Charles Megargee, but the tenant or the loss could not be ascer tained. A Colored Thief. George Davis (oolored) was before Alderman Carpenter this morning charged with stealing a suit of clothing from another colored man, last evening, at Seventh and St. Mary streets. The evidence was of such a character that Davis was committed for trial. Tub Recent Rains. The heavy rains of yeBterdey and Thursday did no damage to any of the surrounding country. Although an Im mense quantity of water fell, tbe dam at the Schuylkill is at nonnuBual height. Her Name. The lady who was killed last evening by being run over by a freight train at Bioad and Market streets, was named Mary Ann Dugan, and resided at No. 1718 Klttenhouse street. Tbe Emperor of Russia has ordered a grand horse show at Moscow next year. The bootblaoks of New York are disgusted because the pit is abolished at the Old Bowery Theatre. RELIGIOUS NOTICES. IfVXn.

FROM NEW II AMP SHIRES Desirnctlv 1'lro In the Town of ANteadU Vpemat LesiU:H to The JCvening Telegraph. Boston, Sept, 5. A most destructive fire oc curred in Alstead, New Hampshire, near Keene early yesterday morning, by which, nearly the entire business part of the village was destroyed. The flames were first discovered In the engine room In the busement of the machine shop of Prentiss & Scripture's paper mill, which spread rapidly, till the three large wooden, buildings and the several outbuildings, composing the paper mill, were enveloped in flames;, thence it spread to tbe post office, which is on Maine St., ia front of the machine shop, and in a short time afterwards the procery store, dwelling-house, and stable of Mr. Tiraotlir Tofts along the street, the grocery store of Mr. LovU, and two houses nearby, caught fire, and hardly anything was saved except some of the furniture in tho houses and a portion of the goods in tbe stores. The paper mills wore ot wood and covered a lare extent of ground, and gave employment to a 6core or more of men. Tbey were used chiefly lor tho manufacture of Post Office paper and etrawboard, and had been undergoing repair during the lust two months. Over the Post Office was a Masonic Hall, and that too was destrojed. There are no effectual means of ex tinguishing the lire in the town, and therefore the flames spread with unrestrained rapidity. It is believed that the greater pirt of the loss Is covered by insurance. FROM NEW ORLEANS. Remarkable Speech of n Xopro Nenator Kw Orleans, Sept. 5.
