The following letter was received la Dewsbury from Mr. Jobn bright, M. P.t Rochdale, Aufiuet 19 Dear Mr. Cossham: I fee tbat you are met) act d with an opposition and tome dibunion at Dewsbury. I am sorry to see this, because disunion in a party is weak ness, and often admits the cue my to a triumph to which he has no just claim. If you were eeoond in the held 1 should urpe yon to retire; and I am sure you would prefer to retire ratber than to divide and weaken the party in whose iatiks yon have all your Hie been. I know nothing of your opponent (Sergeant Simon, of the Aorthein Circuit; except this tbat he can not be a more trustworthy and liberal politician than you are. If he has come into the held after you, professing mainly the same principles, out S dividing the party therefore weakening it I ' hope be will be prevailed npon to consider the interests of the party as more important than his own claims upon any portion of the con stituency. Dewsbury is a new borough, and its electors are about to vote for the first time. The worklngmen will remember that without union there is no strength, and that a breach in the liberal party now may, and probably will, b-ecd a contention which may not bo healed for many years. If the whole body of liberals act well together now, their course in future will be easy and their power unassailable. I am not writing against your opponent, lor I know nothing of him. I write only lu the inte rests of our common principles, and the great objects for which we are strlviug, which can only be damaged when two liberal candidates are in opposition to each other, and causing animosity where there ought to be union and friendship. Excuse me for troubling you with Ibis note, and believe roe always sinceiely yours, To Handel Cossham, Esq. John Bright. Minister Johnson's Visit to DlsraelL The Cork (Ireland) Beraid, of August 27, speaking of Minister Johnson's visit to Mr. Disraeli, says: The new United States Minister has gone on a visit to the Prime Minister, at ha conUry seat, in Buckinghamshire. Disraeli, who is too well acquainted with the foibles of hun an nature not to gauge the potency of soft loldc r with an indigenous Yankee, is evidently bent on bottling np Keverdy Johnson. America, because she is dreaded, is now, however, appa rently in high favor in courtly circles, and it is a n arked tribute to her success tbat ber repre sentatives at the present moment meet with as 1 beml hospitality a that which awaited the kouth rn envoys in those times when Mr. Glad atone t rhrmed that "the United States had ceased to exl t." The BarllngnmeChiiia Mission. 1 he London Standard (Ministerial-journal of At gnat 26) has tte following: The treatment which tbt Chinese experience In California is such as to shtime a Christian land. Had the crimes of which we read been perpetiated tipon negroes to the South the radi cal papers in this country, no less than in Ame rica, would have been in a white heat of pas sion. As it is, tbev are all but silent on the subject. But the Tribune has employed a special correspondent lu California, Mr. Mark Twain, and he sends an account which Mr. Horace Greeley cannot publish wituout acknow ledging tbat brutality towards an "inferior race" is possible in other parts of the country besides the South. Mr. Twain sas that he has eeen dogs stt on a Chinaman iu tne streets of Ban Fraccisco, and men standing around eo joying the sport as if they were at a bull fight. "I have seen," he 6ays, "troops of bojs assault a Chinaman with stones when he wa- walking quietly along about his business, and tend him btuised and bleeling home." Yet the in mieration of Chinete amounts to about a thousand a week. The Americans contend that one object of ihrir addition!', treaty with China is to guarantee protectiou lor t bese new comers and to prevent (bera Osj:n treated as outcasts. It m'ght also have been aim.tted that Mr. Bur liugame's mission is "..ended chiefly to add glory and profit to the United States. All other considerations are secondary to Hat. Mr. Bur lingame, however, will slrortly arrive in thta country to explain bis errand to Lord Stanley, and it would be scarcely fair to condemn his mission ntterly without hearing an authoritative statement ot its purpoies and designs. The Recent Eclipse of the Nnn. In the Mathematical and Physical Science section of the British Association, ou the 25th nit. Admiral Mannejs, President of the Royal Astronomical Society, took occasion to reter to the recent eclipse of the sun, and the several expeditions which had been despatched from various countries to India to make observations respecting it. He remarked tbat so much atten tion had lately been paid to specrum analysis that it was hoped it would be possible to arrive at :-ome knowledge of the constitution of the sun or its atmosphere, or of both, and much anxiety was frit to know whether anything had been remarked with regard to certain red pro tuberances ou the sun when eclipsed. Tbese, in fact, formed the main Bublect of observation, and he had the tatisfketion to receive that morning from Dr. Jamson, who was at the head of the expedition which had been sent out to India from Pari, the following telegram: "Aug. 21, 18G8. Eclipse. Obeerved protube rances. Spectrum very retnai-kaUle and unex pected. Protuberances of a gaseous nature." FRANCE. The Nelziireol "En Ennterne," The 1 ays, t peaking of the number of tho Lonierne iccr-mly eetzed, says. "The perusal of ths number lnsolres us with profound dUgasU This time, as on the last occasion, it Is to the Emperor personally that the insult and outrage are addressed.

We feel ashamed for our country, simply at the idea tbat foreign ers will judge by one man all the others.

But serious people have only one course to pursue to vail their faces and call for the police. That is what we do." BT. Rocbefort on the Itelft-uinir Dynaity. In the ipsne ot Xa I.m'eme newspaper, No. 12, published la Bxusicla, pat eelzed 9a Uie I French frontier when sent for circulation In tue empire. M. liochefort publishes several articles, thort and stinging, on the reigning dynasty ot the Bonapsrtes. One is headed "The Empress abuses her position." The writer says: Being already on tho threshold of my seoond youth, my flrtt bavins been oassed amid the tinsel of deonotism. I was extremely surprised at seeing the young vuieu 01 Deigium onving ner own light carriage, drawn by four small ponies, and tainting in a friendly manuer all those who rai?ea tner naif, xne simple allurements and the perfectly modest bearing of this vountr and charming Queen teem to express that I have no pretensions to ne a political woman; 1 reign, but I do not ignore that others govern for me, and 1 have no desire to take their nlace. Ah I here we are far enough irom the sovereigns who from the summit of their false head dresses preside at counc.lp, select ministers, organize umiaut eijit union, auu, wuue living suinpia ously, despatch soldiers lo be killed, in order to please the Archbluhop of Granada or the Sister I'atrocinto. Ano her reads, "Absurdity of the French Con stitution,"and runs: It appears that the British constitution forbids the sovereign from sneaktm? about politics. The French constitution 1b less severe, and only refuses this privilege to news, paper editors. A third is entitled "Robbery of the Nation," wnicn says: sionaay, august iu. seventy-six years ago to-day (in 171)2) the people pillaged the Tuileries. To-day it is exactly the contrary. A fonrth M. Rocbefort heads "Unpopularity of the French Government." and writes: All the arrests in the world will not weaken the effect of the lesson given to the Tuileries.

And I am prosecuted as being a dangerous man I It Is you who ought to be condemned for driving students to hate each other. Election Votes In Past Team. The Paris Fpoque publishes a curious docu ment, consisting of a table giving the results of the partial elections in France sioce 1863. with the number of votes In favor of the opposition and government candidates in the same circum scriptions at the last general election. In tne constituencies referred to, which number fifty two, the official candidates, who in 1863 ob tained 1,032 3G7 votes, received only 819,759, while 625,290 have bpen given to the opposition aspirants, in place ot 307,296 in 1863. Therefore, since the general election, and in fifty-two cir cumscriptions alone, the Government has lost 182,608 votes, while its opponents have gained 218,000, constituting nearly double the number tley obtained five years back. On examinlug the definite results it Is found tbat thirty-six candidates of the administration have been elected to sixteen independents. GERMANY. Military Conferences at St. Pctersbnrff. It now leaks out tbat the principal motive for the military conference in St. Petersburg, soon to take place, is the invention of a new musket with explosive projectile, made by Herr Dreyse, Jr., son of the Inventor of the needle-gun. It seems that this musket, intended as Prussia's reply to the French revolving gun, is looked npon by Russia as very dangerous hence its desire to have it abolished. The construction of this "grenade" musket is said to be the follow ing: Its calibre about three-quarters of an inch, the projectile of iron, shaped like a plum, about two inches long and loaded with powder. The charge of the musket is about one and a quarter ounces, the weight of the projectile three ounces, and its velocity such that it ex plodes at a distance of over two thousand yards. The ammunition is in other respects the same as that of the needle-gun and the method of tiring is also similar. At the Prustsian theory of Sommerrta large quantities of these muskets ate in process of completion. The Queen of Prussia. The Queen ot Prussia is still staying at Coblenlz, and it is yet uncertain whether she will proceed to Baden for the benefit ol her Healthor return forthwith to this city or Sans Eouci. In any case she will not accompany the King in his projected journey to the duchies of Schleswig Holstein any more than she has hitherto Joined him in hts visits to Hanover, Nassau, etc. etc. The King's reception at Wies baden was a most enthusiastic one, though be did not stay there long. It seems tbat this Wateriig place and Kwsengen have become favorite lesorts of crowned heads, and the eWe of fashion in preference to the far-famed Badeo. One does not jostle, as in former years, at each step, a king, a grand duke, duke, or prince, or pet oneself entangled in the train of a princess. The only kingly blood to be observed on the Baden promenade belongs to the house of Savoie-Piemont, and flows in the veins ot the "knightly" Crown Prince of Italy and his spouse who, in their European journey, have male Baden-Bpdcn a station of rest. AUSTRIA. Hie Projected Attempt to Assassinate M. leak. The Hungarian Journals give the following details ot the projected attempt on the lite of M. Deak. The Hon states that the municipal authority of Pesth had received an anonymous letter announcing tbat the deputy referred to would be shot within the month. The Pesti Aap'o declares that it had for some time past unu luiuill'CU u bug VUUOJliauj UUb UHU HOb thought right to publish the facts. As, how ever, the utlalris made pnblic, it recti ded the account given by saying that the anonymous communication was sent to M. Demokos. deputy, tnd contained the natneut the intended assatfcin. The residence of the person indicated having teen searched, papers were discovered which li d to his arrest. The JVap'o adds that "the whole affair is without importance, a the accused is a student ot heated imagination.1' THE CANDIDATES. The Kreeclies or Seymour and Grant. Genertl Lyon, in a recent speech, alluding to tlie fall cf Vicksburg, and Seymour's 4th of July, U63, adi ress, said: There was the contrast between the loyalty and statesmanship of tho two men ontwodit terent occasions. So it followed on clear through the war, and Mr. Seymour continued declaring tbat it was unconstitutional, and in 1861, at Chicago, when the Convention convened there on the 3d day of August I believe it was be being I resident of that Convention, it was declared in that Convention that four years of war to restore the Union had proved to be a failure, and that a further prosecution of the war would lead to anarchy and misrule. That was the language of that Convention, and of Horatio Beyiuour, as its President. When the result of it was heard in the armies, you could hear the shouts on the other side of the linrs among the Rebels. On our side, just at daybreak next morning they heard our shout. It was not a rebel yell, that made night or day hideous, it was the sound of loyal artillery, that made them obey the Constitution and the laws of the land. And we followed it up, making these tame kind ot speeches, under thia mau, Grant, until Lee aud Johnston surrendered to him and Sherman, and the wbola armies of the Confederate States and the Rebellion was wiped oat, and Grant came marching home at the head of the army with the laural wreaths upon his brow, and upon the brow of eaib and 'ver veteran, with tears Itiiung down tavtr cheeks, because Uiej had left far away from home their brothers that had given up their lives that toeir country might live. As they came home and met the joyai minions with open arms, cbeor after cheer went np from the crowds, and on the old Capitol, on Capitol Hill, in Washington, was written in laige letters mere as we marc tied down Pennsylvania avenue. "There is but on debt this Government can never pay, and that Is the debt of gratl nde that it owes to the loyal men that saved tnts country in its hour ot trial." Xhe people were glad. GEORGIA. The Expulsion of the Colored Members irom tne Legislature The Augusta Republican says: "Our despatches state tbat the colored mem bets of the House were ousted yesterday. This will take no one py surprise. We were prepared for it. Indeed, since the keynote of revolution was toonded byFrank Blair, and re-echoed by Cobb, Toombs, and Hill, we have been prepared for any act ot treason to the Stale or resolu tion against the Government. It will not suffice for gentlemen to fay that netrroes ought not to be permitted to hold office. The neero is can- icesedly a citizen, and the Cousutution of ueorgia makes him eligible to hold office. Therefore we deliberately assert that everv member of the bonse not a natural noodle that voted to dt-prlve members of Beats to which they had been legally elected, because they bad black skin b, was recreant to his duty as a Representative, and violated tbe oblig t'ons which he assumed when he took an oath to support tbe new Constitution. It only re- . . t . I T 1.1 . . . uiuiub iur me legislature 10 consummate its record of infamy by legtolatlng 23 Democrats, deleated before tbe people, into the seats which rieh'fuliy belong to men with whiter principles, it iney ao nave oiacner skins." The Republican further says that the Demo crats reject all bills providing for a municioal election; tbat they are unwilling to have any election until December, and desire so to shnpe the bill as to place worklngmen in the power of unscrupulous moneyed men, wuue the republi cans desire an immediate aud fiir election. Coupled with this action comes the announce ment of the lute Treasurer that "he has no money belonging to the State." Education of Indigent Maimed Soldiers, The Atlanta (Ga.) JVew Era publishes the ionowmg: "We notice that legislation is contemnlated in relation to tbo education of maimed soldiers with the design of qualifying them lor teachers. We would rejoice to see our lawgivers remitting for a time thtir devotion to politics and attend ing to tne great business ot education especially tbe education ot teachers, which is a great want in our State. We understand that about one hundred of tne above-named cla-s are at Athens, about ninety at Oxford, and a number at B.iwden. Tbe contract that -the State has entered into with these young men most be faithfully carried out on her part. This will require funds for a few years; and the few or many thousands that will be needed, must be supplied; and from tbe temper of our lawgivers, we cannot doubt that wise counsels will prevail, aud tbat sucti amendments and alterations will be made iu the statute on this subject as to leave no room for doubtful constructions." Eetf er from a Georgia Clergyman. We are still under the black cloud of Negro Slavery Confedtiac v. The scenes are similar to those which we pasei through in leoi. a. uooo ana it. room 09 are stump s leaking all over the 8tate of Georgia, intenoi- fying tbe minds ot tbe people on secesh princfe pies, aud we are rapidly driving into another destructive war. The people aro in a worse condition than they were beiore tbe war. It Is impossible for this Government to stand. Strange as it may seem, men are made worse by uecouuog mem oera 01 tne unorcn man tuey were before. The Southern Methodist Church made negro slavery of Divine origin; it became a religious tenet, and all its abominations were sanctified. A man might blaspheme the holy name of God, and it would only draw a smile: but let a man declare himself anti- slavery, and a coat of tar or a ride on a rail was sure to come. Ten years be'ore the war, I came very nearcatcning tnis treatment tor reading an abolition newsoaoer. Tbev sacriaced thpir children in tho war for their slaves, aud taught them tbat it was a religious duty, while the slaves were at home well cared for. And if I did not give tbe only boy I had, sixteen years old, I was a Tory, atmi'or. If Seymour and Blair are elected, we (Union men) expect to have to leave tbe South. We are willing to be come beweisot wood and carriers of water for our Union friends in the North. I am bated and abused from morning until night, but all this does not move me. I am determined to hold on to the truth it I burn down at the stake lor it. I am persecuted because 1 am a peace man. and for my friendship to the dovmtrodden black man. I thimk my God to-day that I have not put any discount upon any of His creation. STARVATION. Terrible Calamity to a British Set tlement. From the St. Paul .Minn ) Presi, Sept. 2. Tbe terrible calamity which has overtaken tie it olated British settlement on Bid River whose fields the grasshoppers have scourged with desolation, as if a tire had swent over them calls loudly upon their respective neigh bors or tnis mate, -w horn Providence has blessed with abundant harvests, to take the lead in in augurating immediate, efficient, and compre hensive measures ot relief. Ike Board of Directors of tbe Chamber of Commerce have. we are glad to see. at the instance of General Sibley, taken tbe initiative of the movement, and a committee by them appointed, have called a public meeting, to give practical effect to the hearty sympathy ot tbe people ot St. Paul for the distresses of their Red River neighbors. The case is Just this:-Ten or twelve thousand people Immured in a distant region, four or five hundred miles beyond our Wes ern frontier, are on the eve of starvation. The grasBhonnem have utte-ly destroyed the crops of their farmers, while, by an unprecedented combina tion of misiortunes, the hunters, who constitute a large part of the population, have returned from tbe plains without their usual supplies pf buffalo meat. The buffaloes have disappeared from their usual haunts, while the fruits of the rarth have been consumed by this terrible irruption of grasshoppers. They are thus out off Irom all sources of supply, except flsn, upon which tbey are now subsisting. While their wants are thus pressing, the time Within which tbey can be reached with relief from this quarter is very short. In a few weeks, when the rost shall have killed tbe grabs on the prairies, it will be extremely diffi cult for tralLS to reach there with supplies for want of subsistence to feed the animals. Before November it is not improbable that these striv ing people may be walled in by five hundred miles of snow Irom any possible aid except what may dribble through on dog trains The problem before tbe people of Minnesota and the benevolent ot other States is within the next six weeks to place at Fort Garry food enough to subsist a population ot tea thousand souls for tlx or seven months. The Louisiana Contested Election. A bit of comfort for Frank Blair and his partner's "friends" will be touud In the report of the Committee on the Contested Election in the parish of Frank'ln, offered on the 29th of last month. Their teport says tbat "Intimida tion, iraud, and violence were used in the parinh," tbat "more than two thirds of the newly enfranchised voters refrained from voting," and that "the affidavit made by the Democrats as rebutting evidence and sworn to beiore the Clerk of tbe Court ot said parish, and tbe seal of said Court is one unknown in any other portion of the State, said seal being that of the to called Confederate States, with the Confederate flag in the centre." Is It not time tbat Tammany documents bore the same stamp! AoihlBg like keeping up old acquaintances,. SECOND EDITION ULTEST BY TELEGRAPH.

FROM WASHINGTON. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. lteecher on tbe Situation. Washwoton, Sept. 8. The Chronicle, this morning, publishes a letter written to the Printers' Grant and Colfax Club of this city by Rev. Henry Ward Beecber, for the purpose of acknowledging an honorary membership, which had been conferred on him by the Club. In this letter Mr. Beecher says that the Democratic party seems fated to lead the South into desperate steps, and to be utterly unable to lend a helping hand to those whom it has deluded. He believes tbat the New York Convention, entirely lost to all moderation, has laid down a platform which will entail civil war to the South again, unless prevented by a triumphant victory of the Re publican party. Mr. Beecher further says: "Fvolntlons do not go backward, and I have every confidence that that conscience and intel ligence which led this great nation to resist slavery, aod to deieat it, will now refuse to put tbe Government into the very hands which either were raised attaint it, or which reruse 1 to help in its defense. The new adhesion or impenitent Southern men to the very worst type ol Democratic doctrine ever enunciated sluce tbe party went into alliance with slavery can not but be as dt-astrous for the Suth as was tbe league with the same party before the war." Pennsylvania to be Colonized with Rebel Voters. Information has reached here that extensive arrangements are beln; made by the Demo cratic 8tate Central Committee of Pennsylvania to colonize doubtful districts in that State at tbe October flee. ion, with Marylanders.

The attack on the Quaker settlement of South Uuiontown, in Logan county, on Saturday night, by the Ku Klux Democracy, was one of the most causeless ever perpetrated by that eang ot cut-throats. The Quakers were peaceful, non-combatants during the war, but steadfastly loyal to the Government. Tbe Elan set fire to their large woollen factories and burnt them to the ground, Involving a loss of over $200,009. Tbe particulars of a terrible and atrocious outrage one that puts to shame the boasted civilization of the age have fust reached this city. Last Friday night Nellie O'Connor, a young white girl, a domestic in a family living ten miles from this city, in this county, was dragged from ber bed by a party of ten men, car ried into the woods, stripped of her clothing, and covered from head to foot with tar. The villains had neglected to provide themselves with feathers, and the victim was spared that indiernlty. After subjecting her to this shameful treatment, tbe scoundrels left her alone In the woods half dead with fright and the ill treat ment she bad received. She managed to reach a neighbor's house, where she was cared lor. 8be is still very ill from the effects of the treat ment received. The State Fair opens to-morrov. Great preparations have been made.

The Legislature is significantly silent on tbe militia business, Tbe Senate Committee, which has the House bills in charge, not being in any hurry to report, if the militia bill passes at all, it will be in a modified form. Slill it is very probable that a bill of some kin 3 will pass. The bill for the suppression of tbe Ku-Klux passed its third reading yesterday. It Imposes heavy punish ment en persons found masked and disguised, and also attaches penalties to any who may be found giving encouragement to tbe Ku Klux. A gentleman who arrived from Kuoxvllle to-day reports having bad a long conversation with Governor Brownlow, during which the latter exhibited bis proclamation calling out the militia. It will be borne in mind that the Militia bill has not yet passed. Governor Browulow expressed himself as bitterly opposed to Rebel enfranchisement, and said the only proper way to treat the hell, deserving Rebels was to annihilate by fire and sword. De aho said if he got bis inHitiaonoe In the field he would give the Rebels a lesson they would not soon forget. He is represent i as being determined to the extreme. FROM CUBA.
