(ilbbPrlnK Uhoaulfii Ueruinny A Klcsh-creep. In NarrniiTe of Viunpliium Truth Htrnoger than Fiction. A correspondent of the New York World, writing from llodmir, Hungary, June 1, tells an almost Incredible story, a portion of which we here reproduce. Coming from any less respon sible source, the tale would be unworthy of notice, but appearing in a respectable journal, we give It, leaving readers to form their own conclusions. The World writer saj'S: The story I have to tell is so terrible in its character that I can scarcely hope it will find credence among my own people. I venture, however, to send it to you for publication, and am willing to let the matter be referred to the local authorities for verification: In the little Hungarian village' where, for the Jast two months, I have been living, there has ately reappeared the old horrible superstition of vampirism. Already it has spread to several of the neighboring towns, so that within a circle whose radius is fifteen miles, and whose centre is llodmir, hardly anything is thought or spoken of but vampires. Recently at about 2 o'clock in the morning I awoke in a cold sweat, screaming, and strug gling with some horrible thing, cold as death, that lay upon my breast, pinioning my arms to my sides and trying to fasten its clammy mouth upon my throat. I yelled and fought, and presently I heard men running through the hall towards my room. Whatever it was that had thus fastened itself upon me rose suddenly with a sort of grunt, and I distinctly saw it disappear through the window. In a minute I was on my feet, had grasped my pistols and run to the window, but although the moon was shining brightly, I could see no traces of a burglar or the means by which my chamber Jiad been invaded. The landlord entered my Toom, looked solemnly at me, and when 1 had told my story shook his head gravely, and told me I had better make up my mind to die in a few days two weeks at the farthest for I had been sucked by a vampire. I told him I had not, but he only sighed, and aeked me to let him see my neck. I did so, and his face brightened, for there was no trace of puncture there. Shortly afterwards I was told that the devil was abroad and getting into corpses that should be lying quietly in their graves, and that all the village was frightened half out of Us wits because only the night before not less than three of the villagers had been attacked by the devil, and had their blood sucked from their bodies. Of course I went to the churchyard, and there I found men in long, uncouth coats and terrible beards, and looking as if each of them when dead would naturally become a vampire, talking and gesticulating as if their whole lives were concentrated in that moment. A grave was to be opened the .grave of Peter Dickowitz, who had died three weeks before, and who, as the people said, had been harassing the village ever since. The story in regard to this man was about as follows: lie had been a shepherd during the latter part of his life, but many people remem bered that he had often told them that when he was a young man he had lived in the service of a Turk near Belgrade. This Turk had died, and after death had become a vampire. Returning to the earth, he had sucked the blood from the throat of Dickowitz, who, as he claimed, had cured himself of the virus by eating earth from the grave of his old master, digging his body from the tomb and rubbing himself from head to foot in his blood. But, as it appeared, this cure had been imperfect. The earth had already been removed from the two graves when I arrived at the churchyard, and men were engaged in pulling up the colllns. The priest of the village of course, one of the priests of the Greek Church, than whom no more superstitious and ignorant set of men can be found on the face of the earth stood near, mumbling prayers, and evidently scared much more than half out of bis wits. The men now stood around with determination and hor ror in their eyes. In the background women and children were praying and wringing their hands, evidently dreading that at any moment a vampire might springy upon them. It was not long before the two coihns were placed side by side on the grass. Night had come on, and by the flickering light of lanterns the faces of all appeared weird and wild in their excitement and dread. The cofiins were opened, and as I, pressed for ward by the crowd, looked into them, I saw dare I tell it ? In the sickly light of the flam beaux that the men within them were not dead; but, horrible beyond expression, deadly in their gbastlincss, yet alive, they lay there. Their bodies were swimming in blood, and a horrible leer was on their mouths, and anguished fate within their staring eyes. Loathsome beyond thought, deadly beyond nightmare dream, they were the living dead. The Hadnagi, with compressed lips, ordered his men to drag them forth. They were seized by the hair, pulled reeking from their cortins and laid upon the grass. The moonlight touched their faces, and I saw their bloated cheeks and leering mouths. Then the Hadnagi had them removed from the consecrated ground and laid upon the road. Of all that crowd there were but ten or twelve persons who followed, and I, with the fascination of the horrible upon me, accompanied them. Four men, two to each body, placed them selves over the corpses, and, at the given signal, plunged a pointed stake through each of the vampire's heart. As I live, there came from each such a wailing sob and cry as never did I tfream even in nightmare. Then, with the sharp spades with which their graves had been dug open, the heal of each was sawed and hacked from his body. The trunks were then taken in front of the church and burned. Heartsick and weary, filled with many thoughts of what the possibilities of horror were in this pleasant woria, i lurnea nomewaras. LAKE DISASTER. Three Nti L.t from a Veasel. The schooner George F. Foster, of Chicago, Henry Smith, master, and bound from Chicago to Lincoln, juicmgan, iosi inree men oy arowu' inc. and the yawl-boat, yesterday, at ; o'clock P. M., when about six miles north of the Kalamazoo. Charles Grimes, an American, and one of the crew, had been sent to haul aft the main sheet, when the boom swinging around knocked him into the water. The captain immediately ordered the yawl boat to be lowered, which was manned by the mate, John Lynch, aud Charles Peterson, a sailor; but a big sea being on at the time, and a strong wina mowing, maae me muni tm&t drift awav very fast from the schooner, which had been hove to. Nothing was seen of the man overboard, and although the captain kept a loon out tor ma yawl-boat from the deck, and had also sent one of LU remaining men to the masthead for the same purpose, nothing could be seen of the yawl after about fifteen minutes. The captain supposes that the yawl was swamped and that the two other men also lost their lives. He stood by as long as he dared for the safety of the schooner, which in the meantime had also commenced to drift toward the beach. In consequence of this he had to set sail again for Chicago, in order to get a new crew, and the schooner arrived here this morning at 0 o'clock. There might be a bare possibility that the yawl-boat drifted ashore, but the cap tain thinks she must have been swamped. Charles Grimes has parents residing in Iowa. John Lynch was born in New York, and Charles Peterson was a Norwegian. All three were un married, and resided in Chicago. Chicago Post, CASTELLAROXLINCOLN. Magnificent Tribute to the martyred President uy ine ureal npanun wrnior. From a complete report of Castellar's treat speech on emancipation, we give the following naseacre. as an addition to the remarks hv thu eloquent republican which we reported on Saturday:' I wish to present you another example of a de elded purpose to accomplish gradual abolition, which was forced to conclude by immediate aboli tion. 1 refer to the example of America. The Puritans are the patriarchs of liberty ; they opened a -new world on the earth; they opened a new path for the human conscience ; they created a new society. Yet when England tried to subdue them and they conquered, the republic triumphed and slavery remained. Washington could only emancipate his slaves. Franklin said that the Vir. glnlans could not Invoke the name of God, retaining slavery. Jay said that all the prayers America sent up to lleaven for the preservation of liberty, while slavery continued, were mere blasphemies. Mason mourned over the payment his descendants must make for this great crime of their fathers. Jefferson traced the line where the black wave of slavery should be stayed. Nevertheless, slavery increased continually. I beg that you will pause a moment to consider the man who cleansed this terrible stain which obscured the stars of the American banner. I beg that you will pause a moment, for his immortal name has here been Invoked for the perpetuation of Slavery. Ah! the past century has not, the century to come will not have, a figure so grand, because as evil dis appears so disappears heroism also. I have often contemplated and described his life. Born In a cabin of Kentucky, of parents who could hardly read ; born a new Moses in the solitude of the desert, where are forged all great and obstinate thoughts, monotonous like the desert, and, like the desert, sublime; growing up among those primeval forests which, with their fragrance, send a cloud of incense, and, with their murmurs, a cloud of prayers to heaven ; a boatman at eight years In the impetuous current of the Ohio, and at seventeen in the vast and tranquil waters of the Mis sissippi; later, a woodman, with axe and arm felling the immemorial trees to open a way to unexplored regions for his tribe of wandering workers; readiDg no other book than the Bible, the book of great sorrows and great hopes, dictated often by prophets to the sound of fetters they dragged through Nineveh and Babylon; a child of nature; in a word, by one of those miracles only comprehensible among free peoples, he fought ror tne country, ana was raiseu oy nis reuow-cttl-zensto the Congress at Washington, and by the nation to me rresiuency oi ine uepuouc; ana wnen the evil grew more virulent, when those StateB were dissolved, when the slaveholders uttered their war cry and the slaves their groans of despair, the wood cutter, the boatman, the son of the great West, the descendant of Quakers, humblest of the humble befjre his conscience, greatest of the great before history, ascends the Capitol, the greatest moral height of our time, and strong rou serene wiui ma conscience ana nts thought; before him a veteran army, hostile Europe behind him, England favoring the .South, France encouraging reaction in Mexico, in his hands the riven country ; ne arniB two minions oi men, gathers a half million horses, semis his artillery 1200 miles In a week from the banks of the Potomac to the chrtr. a nf TpnnAAHM ! flcrhta mnrA than fiiVt h.rtlaa renews before Richmond the deeds of Alexander, of Ca'sar; and, after having emancipated 8,000,000 slaves, that nothing might be wanting, he dies in the very moment of victory like Christ, like Socra tes, like all redeemers at the foot ot his work. Ills work! Sublime achievement! over which humanity shall eternally shed its tears and God his benedic tions! (Great applause.) But Lincoln, you will tell me, attempted gradual emancipation. This is true; I never evade the truth. But the privileged classes shut their eyes and opposed it, as they shut their eyes here and op pose every profound and radical reform. And im mediate abolition came, when a man of the wis dom and political prudence of Abraham Lincoln appealed to supreme measures, it was because he was convinced that all hope of compromise was ?;one, that gradual steps are impracticable in re orms demanded by justice and humanity. Since then the United States, having turned their slaves into men, have devoted themselves to converting these men into citizens. And to-day, gentlemen, those beings who were formerly not even men! are freeer than the first of the sons of Europe. Those men who could not learn to read, because the Southern gentlemen mur dered any one wno wouia a are to give them a book, have to-day innumerable schools. Those men who were like beasts of burden, wretched as the reptiles that crawled among the cotton and the cane, are free men, are American citizens ; they sit in the Congress and the Senate of Washington. The United states nave refused to recognize as members of the federation those States which have not in their turn recognized the liberty and the equality of tne negroes. You talk to me of exceptional laws. Manv have you given to sustain the influence of priests and the tyranny of kin&s. I admit your exceptions If you will present me 4,000,000 beasts converted into 4,oot),uuo mem CABINET RUMORS. Wendell Fhllllps Mentioned aa Air. Motley' Mucceaaor. The New York Tribune's Washington corres pondent says: uuring a recent menaiy interview Detween a prominent Senator and the President, the con versation turuea in a general way upon the contemplated changes in the foreign missions and in the Cabinet, and the merits of several gentlemen were freely discussed. Wendell Phillips' name was mentioned in connection with the mission to England, the mission te Berlin, and the Secretaryship of State. The names of George P. Marsh, Senator Conk ling, Caleb .Cushing, and General Butler were also spoken of in a friendly spirit. It was sug gested, in view of the opposition of Senators Sumner and Wilson, and other members of the New England delegation in Congress, to the removal of Mr. Motley, that no objection could be urged against Mr. Phillips from that quarter; that he was a representative American, notlikely to be Influenced by English peculiarities; that he is well known in England and appreciated for his acknowledged ability everywhere, and would at once take a leading rank among the diplomatists of the world. The merits of other gentlemen were also discussed with liberality and favor. The President, however, gave no indication of future appointments. Another Cabinet rumor relating to the possible retire ment of either Secretary Robeson or Secretary Cox, or'botb, Is also quietly circulated. It is stated that the President has under con sideration, in the event of the rejection by the Senate of the nomination of Mr. Oliver to the Distiict Supreme Court (a life position), the propriety of appointing Mr. John M. Langston, a colored lawyer of note, who is at present the Law Professor at the Howard University. A cow was frightened to death by the ex- Sloeion of a bunch of fire-crackers in Troy on ie 4th. 8he was a coio-ard. One of the biggest reptile stories yet is that of an alligator near Midway, S. C which a planter has used in harness to do his ploughing. The animal weighs 350 pounds, and is said to be perfectly docile, and thoroughly "broken la" to bis work. This allegation is somewhat astounding, to say the least. A California paper says that a box of Royal Ajn cherries has been shipped to New York overland, the majority of which measure three anl a half inches in circumference. We have not heard of the arrival of the Royal Anns, but do iot venture to doubt the immensity of any thing grewn in California. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JULY 1J, 1870. SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. TO-DAY'S CABLE NEWS. Commercial Panic in England. Injury to French Credit. Important Naval Movements. Etc.. Etc.. Etc.. Etc.. Etc. FROM EUROPE. Obltnary-J. A. Klnglake. London, July 11. Sergeant J. A. Klnglake died yesterday. John Alexander Klnglake, whose death is announced above, was a cousin of Alexander William Kinglake, the historian of the Crimean war, and was born at Taunton in 1805. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge, was called to the bar in 1S30, and made a sergeant-at-law in 1844, at the same time, being aprointe recorder of Exeter. In 1856 he was appointed recorder of Bristol. He has served in the House of Commons, acting while member of Parliament, with the extreme Liberal party, and advocating the vote by ballot and other popular measures. He contributed frequently to the leading reviews, but the authorship of "Eothen," an attractive book of Eastern travels, is erroneously attributed to him by Allibone, his cousin, the historian, being en titled to it. The London Markets A Panic In Liverpool. London, July 11. The markets of London and Liverpool are affected decidedly to-day for the first time since the opening of the Hohen zollern question. A complete panic exists both here and in Liverpool. A large share of the present uneasiness is to be ascribed to the ap proaching settlement and expectation of bankers contracting their accomodations. Breadstuifs firmer, and there is an advance in prices of American wheat. Despatches from various European capitals this morning an nounce that the excitement is generally in creasing, particularly in moneyed circles, and all sorts of securities have declined heavily. Opinions or the Press. The London Telegraph, in an article this morning on the general uneasiness, says: "The war panic might die out only that men known to be in the Emperor's confidence are selling heavily." The Times has a strong article on the Spanish question this morning, wherein it says: "It is still possible to look calmly at the future. Ministers must seek to Impress France with the extravagance of its pretensions and suscepti bilities In the absence of real danger." Eventual war is only too probable, yet such jealousies have passed without colli sions, as in 1840 and 1848. The balance of power is undeserving a thought; the real issue is for the possession of the left bank of the Rhine, and the contest would last until one or the other became exhausted. Civilization has everything to lose In such a struggle. France is clearly in the wrong. Prussia ..denies the re sponsibility which France ascribes to her and France refuses to accept the disclaimer. How can France object to any arrangement that Spain considers within her own competence? Neutral powers must act instantly, unitedly and firmly, to prevent, if possible, a collision. The Damage to French Credit. The same paper In its money article deplores the damage inflicted on French credit by the long continued excitement. Important Naval Movements. Plymouth, July 11.

Mr. Casserly presented a petition from citizens Of California praying the interposition of Congress in behalf of American citizens imprisoned by the Brit ish Government for political offenses.

On motion of Mr. Edmunds, for the removal of causes In certain cases from State courts to United States courts, and for other purposes. On motion of Mr. Trumbull, to confirm the title of purchasers of lands sold for taxes in the late in surrectionary States. The latter bill was objected to by Mr. Casserly and Itayard, because it proposed to enforce the payuent of all costs aad penalties Incurred In invalid sales of land for taxes as a condition precedent for the lawful owner to recover. Mr. Bayard argued that the owner did not lose his property by "due process of law," but in disregard of due process, and yet he was to be saddled with all these costs unlawfully incurred; that in the Monthem States the proceedings to sell lands under the direct tax law had been notoriously irregular and fraudulent. The owners never having had notice of these proceedings, had no means of avoid ing costs and penalties incurred for non-payment of taxes. several amendments by Mr. Bavard were re jected, and the bill passed. xneiana grant 0111 in aia 01 a railroad irom Sioux City, Iowa, to Columbus, Dakota Territory, was dis cussed, amended, and passed.

The previous question was not seconded, and the resolution went over under the rule, Mr. Cox re marking that the resolution embodied the senti ments of the Democratic side of the Rouse.

Evening Telegraph Offick,) Monday, Jttlj 11, 17U. ) The demand for money continues strong and active, but thd supply is ample and rates con tinue easy and unchanged. The entire interest in financial circles seems to be concentrated in gold and Government bonds, the former having made a high leap upward, owing to continued warlike rumors from Europe, and the price of Government bonds having fallen about j per cent, on closing prices or 8aturday. We place no reliance upon the news Itself, but it is a fine opportunity for the foreign bankers of New York to operate with profit, aBd they are doing it successfully. Gold opened at 115 on the street, but the first regular sales in the New York Gold Room were made at 115,from which point it declined before noon down to 114. The foreign bankers were the chief sellers of governments exchanging for 'toucned, which accounts for the rapid decline and shows tne speculative character of tne entire movement.

His Mission to the United States. Opposition to the Appointment. His Feelings Towards this Country. Not long before his death the Earl of Claren don said to a Parliamentary committee that he "would never hesitate to go out of tho service to appoint any man whom he thought particularly qualified to fill any rost for which he thought him fit." The appointment of M. Prevost-Paradol by the French Government to the position of Minister to the United States Is an evidence that the Em peror and his Prime Minister are of the same way of thinking as the late English Foreign Secretary. M. Prevost-Paradol enters the diplo matic service in a manner quite without pre cedent in modern Europe, and something after the fashion so long pursued in this country. As long ago as last February, it was reported from Paris that M. Prevost-Paradol was ta be tendered the American Mission; and, although tho report was received with much favor in this country, it was scarcely credited, because of tho infraction involved by it of all the long-established customs of European diplomicy. On the 15lh of June, however, the Journal Officiel of Paris announced the transfer of M. J. Berthemy, the late French Minister to this coun try, from Washington to Brussels, and the ap polntmentof M. Prevost-Paradol aa his successor. This appointment, as already stated, is so much out of the usual course of eveuts, and the posi tion of the new Minister is so peculiar, that the event has created an extraordinary sensation in diplomatic circles throughout Europe, not less than in official and other walks in this country. On the 2d instant, M. Prevost-Paradol, accom panied by one of his daughters, aged eighteen, and a son about ten years old, embarked at Havre for the United States on the steamship Lafayette, and his arrival at New York may be expected in a day or two. His advent wiU be tho signal for such an unusual demonstration on the part of the American people, that the events of bis life become of passing Interest. Lucien Anatole Prevost-Paradol is the son of a French naval engineer and a talented lady connected with the Comodle Francalse Theatre, and was born at Paris on the 8th of August, 1829. He is therefore in the very prime of life, being not quite forty-one years of age. His early education was of a very thorough and su perior character. It was commenced at the College Bourbon, where at an early age he dis played distinguished abilities, and succeeded In gaining a number of the highest prizes. After wards he entered the Ecole Normale, from which he graduated in 1851, securing, when but twenty-two years old, the prize for eloquence from the Academie Francaise for his "Eloge da Bcrnardin Saint-Pierre." The degree of Doctor in Letters was conferred upon him in 1855 as a qualification for a professorship, and the same year he was appointed to the chair of French literature at the University of Aix, In Pro vence. Having a decided inclination, however, for journalism, he abandoned his professorship in 1856 to become an editorial writer on the Jour nal des Deoats, with which he has remained Ja connection ever since, except for a few months in 1860, when he occupied an editorial position on the Presse. The Journal de Debats was an exponent of that particular faction of the oppo sition to the Empire which still adhered to the claims of the Orleanists, and embraced within Us ranks some of the ablest men of France. M. Thiers was the recognized leader of the party, and extreme opposition to the Empire its cardinal principle. The paper, at the time, was on the verge of ruin, having barely escaped absolute destruction several times in its pre carious career. One writer after another had attempted to keep it ailoat by waging as bitter a warfare upon the Napolcouic regime as was possible without subjecting It to fatal attentions from the Government. All had failed, and the paper was struggling for existence, when M. Prevost-Paradol was invited to become its lead ing editorial writer. He accepted the offer, and, entirely unknown to fame in political cir cles, at the start, soon excited general attention. Ills task was both difficult and discouraging, but he displayed so much tact in its execution that it was crowned with success. With con summate skill he assaulted the Government and all its belongings, yet in such an adroit, iusinuating way that his attacks were all the more galling, because they were too care fully phrased to present a tangible point for a warning from the Government. He became a contributor also to other journals, especially t J the Courrier du Dimanche, a Sunday journal, .in which be was given a freer hand, and attrasted great attention by the violent and sarcastic vein in which he combated the pretensions of the Government. This sheet, after'several warnings, was at last suppressed in ISOu, on account of M. Prevost-Faradol's venomous contributions, and his' course in the columns of the Journal de$ Lebats at length became so vexatious that it is eald the Government resolved upon Its suppres sion without preferring any specific charges, but simply for "reasons of state." This despe rate course was not resorted to, however, as the proprietors preferred a modification of its policy to its annihilation. So for a long time the name of M. Prevost Paradol ceased to appear at the end of the po litical articles, his contributions being restricted to literary subjects, but displaying such a high order of ability that there was sufficient demand for the reproduction of the greater portion of them in permanent book form. Indeed, through out his journalistic career, he found time to write several elaborate works, among which the
