The Flrt Omnil M Alert Between the t.nciisii Eleven and American Twenty two. The N. T. Time of th1 mornlr-jr g,vet the fol lowing, relative to the cricket matcn yesterday: The largest assemblage of spectators Been at a cricket match In this vicinity since the advent of the All Ed iland Eleven In 1859 was In attend ance on the 'i. Georgo grounds, Hudson City, yesterday, to receive the English cricketers on the occasion of their nrst appearance on this visit 1n-a ma'cb. in this country. The (tame began at 12 '20, the English Eleven having won the toes, tending Humphrey aud Jupp to the bat, Norley arid Harry Wright handling the ball. Humphrey opened the game by stopping Norley's straight one tor a maiden oxer, Jupp being the nrst to score, a leg hit for two oil Harry Wright being the brt scoring done. In the third over from Wright, 11 urn -phtey popped one into Korlej's hands at flip, oat the bail wa diopped, aud t ie "little 'uu" from Surrey bad a life given him. The next over, however, Harry sent htm a beauty, which mastered him, and he retired lor Ave in favor of Smith, the first wicket falling for nine, two of which were b5es, the right man not being in the rleht place at long Mop, that proving to be the weak point of the Twenty-two's Held in this Inning. Jupp and Smltn soon got in welt together, and the score gradually but surely began to increase. Jupp bad obtained twelve and Smith btteen, aud twenty ruus bal betn (cored otf Hurry tor one wicket, when he gave place to butterflcld, but still no change was effected In the way of getting wickets, both the batsmen showing a masterly deteuue against excellent bowling. Finally after the score had been run up to lorly-tive, of wutch Smith had obtained twenty-t o, Smith clipped a ball from Norley cn his bails, and retired, bis score being rnsrked by two leg hits for three each one to the ropes, and fivo twos, chiefly sharp hits, to leg. He gave one slight chance to Rogerson at long field, but that was all. L'ilywbite suc ceeded him, and began by plajlug sale for tingles, the bowling now being well on the etnmps. and the fielding sharp, especially tuatof Harry Wright; Lillywhite and Jupp were part ners, and well iu together, wuen the Important business of dinner interrupted the game lor over an hour. After dinner Gibbes went on In place of ButterUeld, who, by the way, bowled his first seventeen overs for six runs only. Gibbce, in his second over, however, found a way to Lillywbite's wicket, the bailer he sent him causing his retire ment for a well-obtained thirteen, marked by a fine drive for three and two twos, his wicket (the third failintr for seventy-one, a tine average asainst the excellent bowliug and sharp neldinir the Eleven bad against them. Sbaw followed Lillywhite, having Jupp tor Ins partner, the fcurrey youth being in for a long term appa rently. Like Smith, Shaw made a long stay. For nearly half an hour he and Jupp kept tne fielders busy, bo.h of them, while playing straiehthats for straight balls b lofr quick to avail themselves of every ball otf the wickets. At last, after Jupp had been in at the bat over two hours, giving bat one chance. Norley got in on Lis mid btump, and he was obliged to retire for twenty-three, marked by two threes leg hits to the rope9 and six tos, his wicket (the lourth) falling for sevinty-uine. As he retired from the field he was greeted by an appreciative round of applause, as was bis predecessor Lillywhite, and also Smith, the crowd being quite liberal to the stranger in this respect. I'm rant, the renowned Cambridge player, now came in, aud a fine display ot free hitting was anticipated at bis bands, but in the second over he received from Norley he was un lucky enough to stop a straight ball with his legs instead of his bat, and up went the ball and out went Tarrant lor a duck-eira fifth wicket for 81, Pooley being his successor. This was quite a change in the average, whico. had bee a twenty-three at the fall of the third wicket. Up to this time the straight bowling and sharp fieldiiiSr had necessitated a careful delense, and the game, therefore, did not have that life in H which characterizes free hitting. But rooley soon began to make things pleasant, and by bis life and activity at' the wicket, kept the fielders on the alert, and imparted an animation to the contest which was quite a relief to it previously monotonous progiess. Pooley and thaw, while they were in together, ran up the rcore to near a hundred, and both were well iu when Harry White templed Shaw to make a short run, and the result was his being run out by Ham's short run of the tall to Cross, and the tatter's pretty pluj at the wicket, Cross haviug succeeded How man in the position. Shaw's conttibution was sixteen, marked a beautiful cut for three and three lg hits lor two each, his wicket the fixth, falling for ninety-eight. Koabotham fol lowed Shaw, and again was there another stand n adp, Kowbotbam adding thirteen in good ftyle during the half hour he was in; Shaw being in for over an hour. The Yorkshireman opened play with a beauty to le for three, aud added four twos before he left, Norlev bowling him with a tr'mmer. Norley eif ecially distin guished hire self on this occasion. Freeman now came in, and be, ton, led otf with a splendid bit to the eastern corner of ibe ground, the hit yielding him three easily. Pooley, io the inte rim, bad rapidly run up eighteen, marked by a three and lour twos, all beauties to leg, and these two were In for a long pull tonethtr, when "time" was called and stumps were drawn.

GENERAL DIX. lie Repudiates Noymonr find tbe Demo cratic 1'Iutlorm. Our Paris correspondent writes as follows under date of Friday, September 4: ' In a London paper winich has beeu forwarded me here, I see it asserted that General Dix is iu favor of Mr. Seymour lor the Presidency. If this statement is put lorth with the Idea of BtienetbeDing the pretensions of tbe latter It can be disposed of at ouce. Before General Dix leit for England where he now Is, I ha I a con versation with him on this subject, and know that his sentiments are directly tne reverse of those stated. Uo expressed himself to me as strongly opposed to the nominee of the 4th ot July Convention aud the payment of the public debt in depreciated paper. He thinks iir. Seymour's want of firmness would lovclve tbe country in fresh ditlicultie, aud that a repudiation ot any portion ot the public debt would be a violation of tbe public faith equally uniuiliflable and disgraceful to us as a nation. Tbee are the views really entertained by the General, and auy others attributed to hira Wbitb may conflict with them, are falsifications ot his sentimeuts. He bus been too uurcserved and consistent in bis expression of them to leave a possibility of any doubt on the subject. Wfcat I have stated, I pledge myself he will onflrm should it be sought to make auy further nof his name to ulrengthcn Mr. Seymour's cLaiices." lie Disclaim mny I'eraonitl Knowledge The Nashville Union and American nnhliaho the following letter Irom N. B. Forrest in reply o n penurman in tuai city locg ana intimately associated with him: Memphis, Sept. 7. Dear Sir: Tour favor of me Din instant lias Deen received. I wrote to you on yesterday, stating the facts lu regard to me icuer iii iuc vincinnan uommerctai, and l will send you a copy of a note of the corres- Eondent (Woodward), in which he admits that e may have misunderstood what I said to him, and promises to correct the mUsUtemcHts of his letter. His letter purports to have been written in my presence, and pretends to give a detailed report of a long conversation with me, but tbe lact is, that neither of these suppositions is true. The letter was not written In my pre sence, aud although he promised to show it to me, so that I might have an opportunity to cor tect any errors before it was sent otf, be utterly failed to do so, and I had no knowledge what the letter contained until I saw it in print. As a report of what I really said to him.it is in correct in many Important particulars. It puts statements in my mouth which I never made, and it colors others so as to chautro their rucau lug entirely. For Instance, I said to him in regard t0'.ihe Ku-KluxKlao that I knew nothing positively of its organization, strength, or objects, but that I was inlormed that Its purpose was the protection of the people from iojury, and that I was, so far at least in sympathy with it. All the other assertions In regard to this organization which he puts into my mouth were derived from some oiher person, tr are the fabrications of bis own brain. I said to him further, that 1 did not think that the wnele fact of calling out the militia would brine on a civil vutr in this State, provided tbe militia acted in accordance with the existing laws of the state and the dictates of rea-on and humanity; but If they attempted to carry out the views of tbe Governor, as I understood teem, Dy snooting down all men whom they might suspect ot belonging to the Ku-Klux Klan, or any other oreamzation, and if the Gov ernor should proclaim martial law to any part of the State, and attempt to enforce it, then, that in such a state ot affairs, civil war would be inevitable, and that tbe people would rise up to put an end to such outrages and usurpations; and that in this event, I thought that 40,000 or 60,000 men in this 8:a'e would rise la defense of their rluht. I did not, however, meutlon the Ku-Klux Klan in this connection: in fact I wis very rautious in what I said to Wood ward on this or other subjects, as I suspected that he would not report me fairly. I am satisfied now that he was sent here for tbe purpose of drawing me into a conversation so that he might misrepresent what I said, and thus make some political capital out of it. 1 regret that I allowed him to talk to me at all, but I cannot feel that 1 am mponsible for tbe misrepresentations of which he has been guilty. If all that I have said on political questions was reported correctly. I should think there would be nothing found in it which would injure the Democratic party or the cause of the South. I have, however, in all cases, attempted to speak but lor myself, and no paity or person is responsible for what 1 have said. While I think that many of tbe present laws of tbis State are unconstitutional. I am, and have ever been ready to support and obey them, believing as I do that it is better to submit4otbem for a time than to attempt to retist them until they can be reosiilod by legiti mate legislation. 1 am, very truly, yours, N. B. Forbes r. GENERAL GRANT, IIIm farewell Address to Ills Army. The general order of General Grant, addressed to the soldiers ot the United State wheu the war was over, will now be read with interest. Here it is: "Soldiers of the Armies of the Doited States: By jour patriotic devotion to your country in the hour of danger and alarm, your magnificent fighting, bravery, and endurance, you have maintained the supremacy of the Union and the Constitution, overthrown all armed opposition to tbe enforcement of the laws and the pro clamation forever abolishing slavery the cause and pretext of the Rebellion and opened the way to the rightful authorities to restore order and inaugurate peace on a permanent and en during basis on every foot of American soil. Your marches, sieges, and battles iu distance, duration, resolution, aud bnl liancy of remits, dim the lustre of the world's past military achievement?, and will be the patriot's precedent in defense of liberty and right in all time to corns. In obe dience to your country's call, you left your homes and families, and volunteered in her de fense. Victory has crowned your valor, and secured the purpose of jour patriotic hearts; and with the gratitude of your countrymen, and tne highest honors a great and free nation can accord, you will soon be permitted to return to your homes and families, conscious of having diechareed the highest duty of American citi zens. To achieve tuese glorious triamphs, and secure to yourself, fellow-countrymen, and posterity, the blessings of free institutions, tens of thousands of your gallant comrades have falltn, and sealed the priceless legacy with their blood. The graves of these a grateful nation bedews with tears, honors their memories, and will ever clierUh and support their stricken famil'.ek." . K1LPA TRICK. Tbe General In tbe Political Field. At Oratige, N. J., last night, a grand meeting of Kepublicans was held at the "Tannery," to witnets the reception of General Kilpatricir., the leader of Sherman's cavalry. The General, after a gracious reception, said. iu B ii'ujmbo uu iuc uuiivium situation: Tbe Democracy promised that if Lincoln was elected tbey would plans the nation into a civil war, ajid they did it. They had determined to rule or ruin; but. thank God, they have only the latter for themselves. When Air. Lincoln was elected, the little Fort Bumter, with its garrison of 80 men, was attacked by forts and batteries manned by 6000 of the chivalry. This commenced hostilities, and the war progrsssed until Sherman had fought bis way into Alanta, the Gate City of Georgia, aud success everywhere greeted the Union armies. Then the Democracy ot the North rushed, not to prms, but to Chicago, into a Convention, and declared the war a failure. Ko it was ttr them at the South. General Robert E. Lee and General George b. McClellan were both defeated, hebelliou and Copperhead Demociacy were buried iu a deep, dart grave together. They verily believed that hanging day bad come. At the end ot tbe war, they said, "Yes, the war's ended, but U'a a failure." Tbey then used their u'most eudeavors to grant to the Rebels their lormer rights Hnd privileges. Now, as then, there are to parties. The Union men and tbe Democracy of the North and their Rebel allies of the South. Referring to the Constitution, the General raid that the great questions before them could not be nettled by old theories or the effect of past expene( The Constitution and Declaration of lndepeud ence tuitrd our lathers, but we have rewritten and pun lied the. one and made a living rea.ity of the other. We have inserted one clause in It, and we'll Insert others as olten as tbe bad Copperhead Democracy North or the Kebel element South make it nece-sry. Speaking of the organization of a bund of Re publican Irishmen in North Oranere, the General said that so long as the Inh people had identi fied themse ves with the pro-tlavery Democracy the Republican administration could not trust them. He sympathized with them as victims of oppression, but they had In a free country allied themselves to and placed themselves in tbs power of an oppressive party. He deslrad to see Ireland a republic ireverned by the Irish people, and when the LrUhoicn proved their siucentv In a Republican cause he would cive them his word and sword to aid their can.". At the con clusion of bis speech, the General was raptur ously cneereo, ana as tne meetmr broke up was escorted to the depot by a moonlight pro- tiou. NEW JERSEY. The Political Prospect In the State. The Newark Courier says: 'Ws are con stmtly Hfked by friends within and without the Siate, What is tbe prospect in New Jersey? We have but one answer to make, here or elsewhere, to this inquiry, and that is that if tne Republl cans prosecute the campaign as vigorouily down to the day of election as they are now doing, we shall carry the Stale by a ciear and decided majority. Upon this point ttiere can be eo doubt whatever. Neer before has a better spirit or a more vigorous aud determined purpose been displayed by the Republicans of the State than is eihl bited at this time. Not only are our meetings unusually large and enthusiastic, but there is an amonnt of slieut work being done in the way of organization which has never been equalled. In all the larger towns our meetings are regu larly attended by large numbers of Democrats, and many who have hitherto ac'cd with the opposition now unhesitatingly declare thir determination to vote for the great Cuptaia who subdued the rebellion. We know of one town alone in which twenty-five Democrats men who have never voted any other than the re mocratic ticket have openly and with empha sis taken ground for Grant and Colfax. In the lame town every officer in a Grant Legion of two hundred members last year voted wtth the Democracy. This is but a simple illustration of the drift of the current among sober thinking citizens, but it is sufficient to Justify the con viction we bave expressed, that the day is ours, If we but keep up our columns to tbe work. "During the past month over one hundrei meetings bave been held under the auspices of the State Committee, while half as many more nave been held independently or their action. During the coming i ortnlght large demonstra tions will be held in every county, and as the day of election approaches every considerable town will have one or more meeting' every week. In this way every neighborhood will be thoroughly shaken up, and the 1s?ups of the canvass presented to the consideration of every citizen." J THE DEBT.

OBITUARY. Isbmnel Khan Afta Mahommed. By the death of Ishmael Khan Aera Manommprf which occurred on tue 28ih of August last, the theatres of Paris lose one of their oldest and most devoted patrons, and the public are bereft of a favorite subject of curious speculation. For more than forty years this eccentric Persian gentleman had been a familiar object in tho Kiench capital, which he was never known to h ave, even for a day; but altnoueh every species of inquiry concerning his oriein and ante cedents was exhausted, little could be discovered beyond the facts that he lived in toe Rue Rivoll, opposite the Tuilerles; that he poj setsed an abundant income, and that be was animated by an uncontrollable pas sion for tbe drama. He could be seen every evening at the opera house or thea are, conspicuously seated in one of the fauteuils of the first gallery (drees circle), calmly intent on the performance, and totally ludifferent to the constant scrutiny of his neighbors, for which, Indeed, his sumptuous Oriental costume and majestic personal appearance were sufficient txcuses. He was always alone, and was never known to converse with any person, txcepting under pressure of necessity. The mystery which surrounded him naturally attracted the attention of iouraaits, and for many years "The Persian" ws a cherished topic for fanciful feuilletonistes. He was introduced into more than one dramatic "revue," and, it is said, always witnessed the mimic representations of himself with grave imperturbability, betraying no sign either ot amusement or displeasure. Mery, tbe romance writer, iu a fantastic sketch, assumed that "Tne Persian" was one of the ancient race of flrs worshippers, and that the cause of his persistent attendance at the theatre was a religious deter mination to submit himself each night to the purifying influences of cbandtliers aud foot lights. His true history, however, remained undiscovered. His domestic life was one of strict seclusion, and of late years he even re fused to receive letters from any source. The only visitors admitted to him were members of the English and Persian Legations, and with these be was not upon terms ot familiarity. In a simple and unpretending way be assisted the public charities ot his neighborhood, but never permitted himself to ba recoguized as a bene factor of the poor. IDs chief desire in life seemed to be to shioud himself in impenetrable secrecy. Bince. bis death little light has been thrown upon his history. According to the Secretary oi tbs Persian Legation, ha was tbe ton of a distinguished Oriental diplomatist, who having been sent, about three-quarters of a century ago by the feuah ot Per'la. on a mission to the Knelish authorities at Bombsy, was accidentally killed there in a riot caused bv the wanton carelessness of some English officials. Tbe In fluence ot thetshah was sufficient to obtain for the son a pension of 50f,0 sterling, which was regalarly transmitted to Ismael Kban at Paris, dutingthe last lorty jenrs of his life. Of his previous career nothing has been revealed, aud the causes of his long exle from borne and of bis peculiar habits ot lite in Paris temalu un known.

An Explanation by ex-Confederate l'ost inaster.Cieneral Iteagau. Judpo Reapan, of Texas, who was Postmaster General of tho Southern Confederacy, while confined in Fort Warren wrote a letter advising the peoj le of his State to accept tbe terms of reconstruction ofiered them, aud favorinn the extension of the ripht to voto to the newly en franchised neproes. In a recent speech he alluded to this letter, and in an editorial notice of his remarks the Rusk Observer says: For the first time Judae Iteagan made, on this occasion, a personal explanation In regard to the letter addressed by him to the people ot Texas, during his solitary confinement at Fort Warren. Tbis letter did not prove acceptable to the people of Texas their minds were not prepared to take the advice given them at that time. Some hard tbins were said about his having sought, by this means, to influence the powers that were In his own personal lavor. Judge Reagan him self has been as silent as the tomb for three ears on this subject, not having spoken a word io his own defense "eel f respect would not per mit him to do so." If a residence of thirty years, and a public llfo of twenty years, would not suf fice to establish his patriotism and his devotion to the inierest of the people of Tex is his self respect lorbade him from making any personal explanations. But here in Cherokee county, the place of his earliest home in Texas anong a people who had always trusted him, he would make an explanation of an act done alone tor tbe benefit of tbe people of Texas, at a time when he was kept a DrifOner in solitary confine. ment, where he had good reason to believe that when be was taken hence it would ba to the eal- lows as he and the whole country thought that annmberof thelcadine Confedeiates would be sacrificed; that in the honesty of a patriot's Heart, who telt he would never see the lace of a. friend again, he advised his people to do what be deemed best lor them to do at the time, fore seeing as he did from his means ot information, what troubles might be averted.
