We have received from diil'crent sources accounts
Of the lam aud mysterious lucldents connected with
tliis tutilguc, which, however, la now disavowed ly
every one, especially the Bonapartlsts. Thene ac
counts, we hove every reason to believe, are exact.
They contradict those which were transmitted (rom
London ihc day before yesterday, so lr a9 regards
the rtalitj of the intervention of an emissary, whose
entry into tne intieuched camp at Metz hud deter
mined, according to the first accounts, the depar
ture of General Bourbnkl. This emissary Is not a
myth, but who he Is, what part he played in this
allHlr, whether he came ironi Willielinshohe, or
was simpiy u i ruhsiuu spy, sua remains euiliroudca
in mystery.
Certain It Is that lie presented himself to Marshal
Eazalne, who soon after had an Interview with Gen
eral BouibaM, In winch hi; commanded hiruto make
his wav to the Bide of the Kmpress Regent in Kng
latid. The General having objected to the gravity of
such a departure, when lighting was taking place
eveiy day, and his troops would perceive him under
taking a not very honorable Might, die Marshal Rave
him in wntitg the order, which ho had previously
addi eased to him verbally.
This order was drawn up almost exactly on these
terms :
"The Empress Regent having manifested a desire
to have au interview with General Bouroakt, this
oillcer Is commanded to make his way to the side of
her Majesty.-'
( The General therefore departed, as our corres
pondcit fct London has told us, in the character of
aphyslciau. lie devoted two hours to the trouble-
- Bomc task of preparing himself, and It was at Mar
shal Bszaine's own house that he found tUe ''bour
geois'' dress liecr stary for his disguise.
The inysterle.us eiuis-iury accompanied him to
Camden p ace, where his arrival at hrst produced
very grtat surprise, followeil by even greater ircita
tiou. The cx-Kmpress deo.ared that she did not
wish to hear anything or a political charac ter, and
was resolved to remain for the present with her son
nit of the region of ail the iarriyues winch were
elsewhere being meditated.
The Genetal, who believed himself to have been
fient lor, and found himself rot in the least, expected
or d. sired, w as very much troubled ut this recep
tion. To have duitted his post of duty uselessly and
without anv object was discouraging, and he felt he
could not survive it. Controlling himself, however,
ho came to the resolution of laying his case before
ljueen Victoria, and demanding her assistance in
order to obtain from the King of Prussia the neces
sary authority to enable him to return to Metis. The
Cueencid not. hesitate, and a few days afterwards
the General received a letter from Lord Granville,
announcing to him that Co'int deliernstonr had
been advised by M. de Bismarck that he might again
crops ihe Prussian lines.
Furnished with this authority, the General rc-
l turned to Luxemburg and put Himself In communi
cation Willi me Headquarters or Priaee Fr deriek
Charles, requeuing, that since he held the letter of
the Minister of t.Mieeu Victoria, he might be per
mitted to return iat ) the place which he had very
unwillingly quitted. At first he waH told to wait;
then there was transmitted to him, Inseal of a
clear and precise annwer, an invitation to surrender
himself to headquarters, lie Insisted upon having
an answer, yes or no, and being unahlo to obtain
either the one or the other, after waiting, three
(lays, he pave up the attempt.
This explains his arrival at .Brussels, and the fact
of his having set out this morning on lila way to
Tours, alter having informed the delegation of' the
provisional government that he desired to place him
self at the service of the national defence.
We add to this slmnle statomeut ol facts, that
opon the clay upon which General Bourk akl set ont
from Metz thai Is, on the 24th September tho sad
events which had taken place iu France alter the
Sbth of August were not known I here.

On the li'dh of September, those looking through

lictween "Lcs I'etits Mulcts ' and the Bumtnlt of

slat ted to ascend "Les Grands .Mulcts " before even

up. Three guides explored the whole summit of
Mont r.iunc. for trac s of the other six, while nine
tern clesc nded with the bodies found to the Grand
I I'latenu. Then the twenty-two united again at "Les
Grands Mulcts'' for that Saturday night. Hut
at a signal from them, twenty-four more guides
slatted from Chamounlx thateveniug, ami the next
morning (Sunday) proceeded on to the ifand Pla
teau. That day (the isth) proved perfectly clear.
Tlw whole summit was visible to the wistful pvcs of

DKSCENT WITH TIIK REMAINS.
Yon can imagine the Intense emotion of those
hlriitleand sympathetic villagers, when, ten days
lattr they watched a'.one the slow funeral train in
It piiinfui descent from five t.rmsaad feet above
them. 1 v 111 quote from the words oi one writing
from the village a' )4, when the guides bearing the
bodies hod ft ached tho descent of the "Giands
Mulcts." and were about, continuing the descent
towaids the p acter: " ous nep ouver vouslmaginer
le lugi.bre t Hit proeuit par les coips quo tantot on
volt gll.iscr sur une ponte rapide, tontot
trulnes aveo peine par ceite misse
de guides " JJvligloiis services were
again held the next day, both Catholic, and Pro
testant. The bodies proved too brittle to undress,
and were interred in the same clothing in which th -y
nuide the ascent. Dr. lieane was fouud iu a Hitting
prsture. his forehead resting on his hands, lie was
somewhat protected by au nnfallen projection of
snow. Mr. McCorkendale, silting also, alpenstock
In hand, passed Into his frozen sleep with the calm
lines of quiet peacefuluess made enduring while his
Hpiiit ilonted restlully on to a bright
awakening. .'ow 1 come to the '.etter found
on the body of Dr. lieane, of which 1 first
heard laHt evening. Simple and ma:jly as it is,
somewhat of its plMii force and directness has been
undoubtedly lost by translating it into French. 1

On the night of October Henry O. Johnson, Jr.,
of Meadvllie, Pa., a student in fie Medical Depart

By some mishap there was a quarrel betwnentho
two, and though Kane's brouier tried to separate
tin to, Johnson shot Mm.
The right and wronir of tho case
cannot be clearly ascertained, but the opinion seems
to be that if Johnaon, who s described as a w hole
souled, good-natured fellow, had not been in liquor,
t lie distressing event would not have occurred. As
it was, Johnson at once became so er, and wai
brought to realize his situation. He hastened to
his room and inane some changes In his clothing,
and struck out for the unfrequented roads of tne
country. At about three o'clock Saturday morning
he stopped at a farm house near Dlxboro, uud sttyed
there till morning. He pretended tiat. he hail
In en thrown from his horse, which escaped. He
hud little appetite for breakfast, aud was apparently
much excited. At. 0 o'clock he lei t, and at 11 o'clock he

lie arrived at Detroit, aud probably wa not lou In
reaching the Canada shore, bmce that time uu'.hiug
lias been heard from him.
Kane suil'en-d severely from tho shot, but Is ex
pected to recover. A proclamation from Af.iyor

Washington, Nov. 7. Mr. D niglas?, Assist
ant Commissioner of Internal Revenue, is still
acting as C3mmissioner,and will continue to do
so for awhile; but as soou ns the elections (or
this week are fairly over, a permanent appoint
ment to the vncancy created by the promotion
of ex-Commissioner Delano will be announced.
An earnest effort has been made to persuade the
President to appoint Mr. Douglass, or some other
Fcnrisylvanian, to the head of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, but the effort has failed, and
it is now definitely decided that neither Mr.
Douglas, nor any other Pennsylvania!! w ill su
ture the coveted place. Pennsylvania politi
cians appear to be at a discouut in administra
tive circles, as far ns appointments to influen
tial positions arc concerned, although they are
seemingly all-powerful to secure the removal of
obnoxious Cabinet ofliccre.
The permanent successor to Commissioner
Dilano has, however, been fixed upon already,
lie is Cencral Alfred ricasanton, of New York,
at present Collector of the Thirty-second district
of New York. This district is to be extin
mulshed by consolidation with the Fourth dis
trict, and (ieneral Pleasantou is to be rewarded
with the Commissionership, .13 a return for his
fidelity to the administration in general and
the President in particular.
General Alfred Pleasanton, who Is shortly to be
come Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Is a native
of the I istrlet of Columbia, and lias au h )tl r i'ilo
rt cord as a soldier. He graduated from the West
Point Military Academy in June,
standing seventh in his clas-t
lie entered the cavalry liran-h of the
army, and saw hard service during the Mexican
war. Jiurlng the Keiiellion he early made his m irk.
and in .luly, isw, was commissioned Ili-lgadier-'inne-
inior v oiuntecrs, iii-itig subsequently promoted to
Najor-Ceneral. ile remained in command of a large
force of cavalry throughout the wfir, onera'ing in
Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and acquiring
a high reputation for skill and
courage at Antiet-m, Gettysburg, and
t fianeeiinrsviiie, and subsequently acquiring aldi
tional reputation by his movements In HHso'irt to
wards the close of the war. G-ncai Pleasantou h id
hern nn old army comrade of General Ur-int, ami
during the war they b came wnnn personal f-iends.

There is soon to be a general overturning of
Internal revenue affa'rs in Philadelphia, as the
result of an amicable und r-taad'ng bctweou
the Piesident and Senator C.inicron, in which
the adv'ce and desires of Supervisor Tutton had
thtir full weight. The four revenue diVtricts are
to be consolidated into two the first and second
as at present constituted lo comprise the
first district of the fu'U'p, and the third
and fourth to be known togrthcr as tho second.
This action on the part of tho administration
will reduce the number of assessors and collec
tors required to one-half the present number,
uud four Philadelphia oilicc -holders will conse
quently find themselves out of oilice, as soon as
the pending elections are fairly ov r. YvMl m
J. Pollock, at present Collector of the
First district, will be retained
ns Collector of the new First District; while
William S. Stokley, now Assessor of the Seeoud
district, is to be made Assessor of the uew First
dlsirict. "William 11. Leeds, tho Collector of the
present Second district, is already provided for
by his election as Sheriff, and John U. Kenney,
the present Assessor of the First district, will be
obliged to shift for himself.
General Horatio G. Sickel, thi present Col
lector of the Fourth district, is to bo made Col
lector of the new Second district, and Willura
B. Elliot, who has been Assessor of the Third
district so long, is to become Assessor of tho new
Second district. George C. Evans, the Collector
of the Third district, aud Charles B. Barrett, the
Assessor of tho Fourth district, are as yet un
provided for, and will probably 6hare tho fate of
Kenney. Cameron cauuot, of course, be ex
pected to provide a berth for everybody. Ha
has done the best that he could in this new
arrangement, and is quito well satisfied with it,
even if It does not suit everybody else who is
iuterttted in the matter.

A full House consists of 213 members. In the
Fortieth Congress, nt the close of the last ses
sion, there were etil 1 20 vacancies, and a Re
publican majority of 123, or considerably moro
than a two-thirds vote. Ia the Forty-first Con
gress there are still 9 vacancies, and a Republi
can majority of 100 the Republicans having 11
vctes more than two-thirds.
It is impossible, of course, to predict with
accuracy the result of the coutests to-day and
to-morrow, and of those to come later, but the
general result, as indicated below, can be ap
proximately arrived at. The Republicans may
expect to lose 1 member In Alabama, Arkansas-,
and Virginia, 2 In Missouri, and 4 iu Tennessee;
while they may gain a member in Delaware,
Kettucky, Maryland, Minnesota, aud New
Jersey. Iu Louisiana a Republican loss of
members may be looked for, resulting iu a net
Democratic gain of 4 members by the filling of.
the existing vacancies. The delegation of
Georgia will probably stand 3 Republicans to
4 Democrats, and iu the remaining States there
is not likely to be auy ehnge. The political
staiidicg of the House of Representatives of
the Forty-second Congress will therefore lo as
follows:

This will give the Republicans two votes iu
excess of two-thirds, but a very slight variatiou
from our calculations will reduce tho Republi
can Btrength below that point.
Below we give the names of tho rival candi
dates in each State those marked thus ()
being renomlnatlons with some facts concern
lrg the past vote, and Indications of tin result
