To all snob inquiries our, answer is, that we mean to keep aloof from all parties, haring noconnection, our paper is con cerned,.with any of them, and leaving ourselves free to .oensnre or applaud the acts of either party as, in onr judgement, they are deserving. We shall at all; times publish > the proceedings of rail political meetings, provided the secretaries | Will furnish us with the minutes of auohmeet ' ings. This is matter of information os much to the other parties as the one holding the meeting. In publishing such proceedings we ahali-give no more than is furnished us bj the secretaries, and just as it is handed in. We intend to publish a column of political items occasionally, probably weekly, culled from papers of al} parties, for the edification of those who desire a little news of this kind. In makingjtbese selections we shall eschew all those containing personalities and .seek to give news alone. J9*The New Yorkers are in a stew about the amount of money; expended by the authorities -for -the entertainment of the Japanese. They cannot, by any rule in arithmetic they axe ac; quitted with, foot up the cost to the great sum total it has reached. Some of the daily newspapers are, however, throwing a little light upon the subject, which shows where the arith metic of the citizens is at faul t The wiqe bill alone costs $20,000; and it appears that this was not only for they Japanese, but for the en tertainment ofthe Aldermanio committee, ten or fifteen in number, who took up a suit of rooms at the Metropolitan, and invited all their friends to come and feast at the public expense. The champagne not only went down their throats, but It wentopt,of the window to certain out side agents, who sold it around at fifty cents a bottle to the admiring crowd. The yellow kid gloves which evexy Councilman displayed, as an unusual mark of gentility on the reception, en larged themselves in the most extraordinary manner. 'Bhe members, having a thought to future exigencies, ordered seven dozen ajpieie, with a special agreement that they should be exchanged for ladies’ cream colored gloves when the ceremonies were over. This is the way the bill was stretched out, and the people are ex pected, as usual, to forget it after payment. The Postmaster General is about to is sue an important circular to postmasters, requi ring, among other things, that in all cases post-* age-stamps and not money be need in the pre i payment of postage, and prohibiting the use of 'the dating stamp in cancelling the postage .stamps. A neglect to cancel postage stamps effectually, or to post mark letters plainly, will be regarded as a cause for serious censure, if not of removal; and all postmasters are requi red to report every instance of such neglect to .the.appointment office.

ANkw Chabk—WhatisjtT —Weaeehyour Exchanges that much attention is being excited in the medical world by a newly discovered Am ulet or Charm, which is worn.next the skin<as a remedyand preventive against Fever and Ague, Billions Fevers, &o. u is called the“ Persian Fever Charm,’’ and is said to act I‘die magic.— The history of its origin and operation is as in teresting as any romance. It was discovered, as stated in the advertisement by one of the greatest travelers in this country, -whose name is familiar to most of onr readers, and who is tiie last man who would be suspected of either enpentition or deception. Wherever it is known, this Charm is rapidly supplanting all other remedies for .Fever and Ague, not only on ac count. of its wonderful simplicity -and efficacy, hut because being simply « something to wear,”, it obviates both the inconvenience and annoy ance (to say nothing of the expense) of nau seous medicines. Why don’t some of our enterprising merohauts order a supply of an article which is exciting so much attention in medical circles all over the country ? The “Jam,”- at .Danville.— Some wags in Danville had a burlesque reception of the Ja panese on the 4th inst., by which, however, many were actually “ sold,” believing that they were gazing on slmon pores. The thing was well done, it seems. The Japs, personified by some young DanvUites, arrived in the cars; were conducted to carriages, with a crowd pres sing up to see them; there was a grand pro cession, and receptibn ; by the Borough ties, and final disappearance’ into the “ Mon tour House,” where apartments were prepared for them. There they appeared fir a short time at the windows, making bows to and ex changing salutations with the crowd, and then quickly doffed their clothes, and slipping oiit of the book doors, soon mingled, one by one, among the .crowd in the streets. Messer, of the Ban bury American, was slightly taken in and done for, as it is stated that he was on hand with one of his bran new ice-cream freezers, ready to present to the Embassy. It is stated that Dan ville has not witnessed such a crowd since the reception of the “ Columbia Guards” on their, return from Mexico in 1848. Near the bridge the crowd was'so dense, that it was with diffi culty a;passoge could be effected. 19* The Supreme Court of Illinois lias deoi-. ded that an Express Company is liable for pack ages until an offer to deliver is made atithe place of business of the consignee, an offer to deliver at the Express office not being a suffi cient excuse, except under peculiar circum stances. The case was of a package of money sent from Chicago to Madison, Wis., to D. J. Baldwin, whose authorizod agent was the (cash ier of the Dame County Bank. The Bank and Express office are substantially in the same room ; and an offer was nude to deliver by the Express messenger, at its "counter, (asking, “if he wanted it ?”) but the Bank clerk replied from his chunter that he did hot, not feeling, au thorized to receive it.

Miles Taylor, ofLonisiana, having returned to Washington, the Douglas Executive Committee hare fairly commenced :their document distributing labors. As an item of political literature, it may be stated that they are printing an edition of one hundred thousand copies of a tract entitled, “ Lincoln and his Rec ord.” The Breckinridge Executive Committee ire preparing for extensive circulation, an ad dress on the Territorial question, and in oppo sition to the views of Judge Douglas. The Re publicans are not idle as to the printing and distributing of campaign documents, while the pell and Everett Committee are industriously employed in the dissemination of their own po litical light. - Jfip* His announced, on, the authority of pri vate advices received in Washington,' that the terms of a union between the Douglas and Bell men in Georgia have been agreed upon.

Ho doubt Is en tertained that this project will result in the de feat of Breckinridge in Georgia, and In several other Southern States where it is to be 'tried.— lit is ' believed also, in Washington, that the Breckinridge ticket* will be withdrawn in New ■York, and that the whole vote of the Democracy will be cast for Douglas—this step being ton ipidered necessary for the defeat oif Lincoln, i- Parson BrownlOw of the Knoxville Whig, has a list of thirteen States whiohLe is confi ijlent will go for Bell and Everett.

Democracy is on its way to its grave, ; luid in November next, either by the friends of Bell or Lincoln, will be precipitated to its doom* in hell, where it ought to have been years ago, [and where, with rogues and liars, it will spend Jan eternity of just such enjoyment as it hod a foretaste of at Charleston and in Baltimore.” -i The hostility between the supporters of pouglas and those of Breokenridge has become [exceedingly, bitter in that part of Illinois known [be Egypt. In the town of Jonesboro the Doug, las men have resolved not to trade at the Breck inridge stores, and the Breckinridge families [have determined not to vuit the Douglas fami lies, nor to recognize them, as respectable mem bers of society. There seems even to be dan ger that the animosity will come to blows. It has become much more* savage since the recent Convention at Springfield, where a Breckin ridge Electoral ticket was nominated. ; The state Convention of the Douglas Democrats, which was well attended, every port of the State being represented, assembled at Hamstmrg on Wednesday, to take action in op position .to the State Committee, which has rec ommended a fusion of the two wings of the democracy in the State. The proceedings were strongly opposed to any such movement. The State Convention of the Democracy of Vermont also convened on Wednesday, at Montpelier, and selected an electoral ticket. The Convention iwas unanimous for Douglas. Iffi- The Cumberland (Md.) Telegraph, an American organ, referring to a statement that iithe Opposition .party of Alabama had, in Con vention, repudiated Bell and Everett, and de clared their purpose to support" Breckinridge and Lane, says: We prefer Lincoln before either of the Democratic nominees, and, if driv en from our support of Mr. Bell by the treach ery of our leading men—if our party is to be sold out to either wing of the Democracy—then ,we are for Lincoln, with tens of thousands of iothers in good old Maryland.” i; |@* St Louis is now the arena of the most desperate straggle ever made for a 1 single seat In Congress.

J LETTBB PBOM PHILADELPHIA. Correspondence of Hie Tribune. Messrs. Editors; —The lost shipment of Fashion has been made tp gte Beach and other watering places, ail who re main in town, after this date, are nip weed to belong to that segment of society called the “Commonalty,” whose means are not adequate to the expense of fashionable in dulgence. Hence a great many persons with meagre finan ces, and Who are'yet anxious to preserve their connection with the “Charmed Circle,” have closed their houses, and retired to the privacy of their chambers in therear of their dwellings, their servants in the meantime replying to ques tions of visiters, that “ the family is out of town.” The pervading desire of this portion of humanity to leave tie city, at this season of the year, does not, I am sorry to say, arise from a love of rural scenery, of the majesty and gran deur of the ocean, nor from any desire to promote comfort and health. Any one at all familiar with the places of fashionable report in the height of the season, wonder at the extravagance, the display, the dissipation, and the utter disregard'of all rales of moral propriety, and law* of healthful recreation, that prevail. Nearly all the vices, with hut few of the virtues, are practiced without any of the safeguards of moral restraint of city lift. The nights are season* of revelry, “ hops,” and the gaudy display of Jewels, laves and brocade, when haughty belles dispense their charms for general admiration In the of mirrors. Bio days are divided between epicurean de lights,'novel reading, and the wmr-coaslng round of per sonal rivalry. But while the drones of this social bee-hire of oars are thus recklessly squandering precious time, and the money left them hy their ancestors, a great many are Im proving a few days of leisure,.that reenr like annual jubi lees la the intervals of business, to steal away to the sea side, and to the seclusion of mountain retreats, pass the time In fishing, bathing, sailing and other aquatic sports. One class of our population squanders its leisure, another improves it, whilst a third and by for the largest class has ▼ary little, if any leisure, either to squander or improve.— But all Its time Is occupied, year in and year through summer and winter, In the foetid air of the cellar, garret and court, straggling with poverty and pinching necessity to sustain life. “ • 1 No one unacquainted with city life can form an adequate, idea of the angering that exists in all great cities, both in summer and winter. Thousands who lire by the scanty wages afforded to day laborers, lira in garrets and cellars, or in the narrow courts and alleys, where, to save rent, many fomilles sre sometimes crowded Into one tenement house, barely sufficient to afford comfortable shelter-ta one. Thousands of men, women end children! wotk at the various trades, in cellars and tire: upper rooms of stores, where, bending overthelr work all day, inhalihgthe sickly heated air of their prison houses ; with Insufficient foM ■'Very frequently, they lose allhealthy animation and vlva of spirit andjwheh they emerge, therefrom of evenings they bear foarftil evidences of premature/ decay.

Hfretptmltenee of the Tribune. Tin numerous excitements of tba last vieek ere gradn- - ally foding from tfrepubUt mind. Perhaps the visit of the Chicago Zouaves Isfl the in‘o6( lasting impression, for Nevr York takes a llvelyjntereet in military matters, and the young Westerners tiers really extraordinarily perfect in their drill manual. Hie citizen-soldiery cheerfully ac knowledged this snp.rio'rity; and even the Herald, which spends mneh time and space in exalting oar own Seventh Regiment,' gracefully confessed that nothing like the Zou ave parades had ever been seen before in New York. Of coarse, there are eeveral propositions on foot for the organ isation of one or more similar companies here; but lit re main* to b|e>seen whether or no our young men willj come to time on the arduous and fatiguing requirement! of the Zouave regulations. And apropos of our martial guests, their stay was not unmarked by episodes df a romantic character, if we may trust the whispers of public rumor. Miss D—— Is the daughter of a retired bnjker, living not a thousand miles from Madison Square, where the red-legged gentlemen held one of their show parades. This young lady, ilrod by an epidemic military enthusiasm, watched the parade from her papa’s front windows,'and, with the aid of destiny and a double-lens achromatic-lorgnette, distinguished a certain handsome officer of the oorpe,-whose greoe and manliness attracted her special attention.. Among the thousands who thronged the sqnan! he only left the imprint of his face and form upon her susceptible heart It is said that she dreamed o£ht& but I don’t know that the asser tion could be substantiated. Probably pot. When it was announced—though ftilsely—that tba Zou aves were to drill oh the deck of the Great Eastern, Miss D— took care to be there. The parade did not come oO; but many of the company were present, and among them the gallant young officer who had captivated the broker’s daughter horn a distance. Nobody knows how ft happen ed. Maybe he tendered his assistance to her on the narrow and perilous engine-room stairs. Maybe she allowed affec tion to triumph over prudence, and “scraped acquaintance” boldly with him. Maybe they met on the lofty paddle boxes, and bis heart suddenly found it good to respond to hers. _At all events, when her carriage was driven up to the forward gangway, to convey her home, it was a Zouave Jacket-sleeve upon which her fair arm rested, and a Zou ave’s strong hahd lifted her info the vehicle. Many little notes, full of the perfuine of sentiment and of Frangtpauni, passed between them thereafter, .and the most gorgeous bouquet thrown upon the stage on the occa sion of the drill at the Academy of Music, was Cram Ur. D——’s box. Ibis was alt very pretty, but, unfortunately the'little maiden has been finances, these four years, to a bald but gentlemanly cotton-broker in Wall street. The father learned-his daughter’s passion fbr the “ Zoo-zoo” of ficer, and, .os the vulgar saying fatftt, "shut pan” there on, so that a charming little plot for the purely accidental introduction of the loyer to the parent, fell dead' to the ground, and the Zouaves went off to Boston, without ano ther meeting having been compassed by the Pyramus of Lake Street and. the Tbisbe of Usdison Square, It la re ported, however, that yben the company returned on their way home, an interview between the lovers took place and arrangements were made for a private correspondence, to be kept up with all the vigor of true devotion, un|U such time as the young officer-can again visit the metropolis.— Then, i'suppose, we may look out for an. "elopement in high life,” and an appropriate newspaper sensation. The second military excitement was the visit of the Sa vannah Republican Bines, an old and wealthy company from Georgia. They are a soldierly set of men, but of no striking perfection in drill. Everybody is new on the qui vice concerning the cxcuf sion trip of the Great Eastern to Cape Uay. There will be a tremendous Jam on board, notwithstanding the some what lofty price of tickets, and a good deal of discomfort \ will doubtless be mingled with the fun. Nearly. all the practicable berths willb* occupied by ladies, and the mas culines will be forced to camp down anywhere ou.mattres i sea in the saloons. The noble art of flirtation will prosper largely, during the trip,' ■ For all the state of excitement in which our city has been kept daring the summer, the “governing classes? have contrived to keep the criminal calendar pretty foil. We average about two homicides and seven " found drowned” cases—half of which ntean the same thing as murder— every week. The last great tragedy was the Waiton-Map thews shooting, wherein the coroner’s jury, found Charles Jeffords guilty, somewhat hastily. Ths young man is a eon of Mr. Walton’s wife, the trait of a former marriage; ' and as the family was in a perpetual state of internal foud some curious developments of social life in New York may be expected at the trial;, Among other sanguinary affairs now talked ot, are sundry stabbing, shooting and fistic as saults, growing out tbe.Ueenan-Morrissey quarrels. Ueo nan himself has behaved very modesty and peaceably since bis-Arrival, and complains much of the lionizing to which his so-called “ friends’’Subject him. ' There is some talk of a fight between him and Morrissey, to take place in Florida, or Havana, where neither will be disturbed by the other’s partisans. Ido not believe, however, that Morrissey means to fight at all. He saw too much of the mQI at Farnsbor ough, to care about trying Jack’s quality again. The “ Benecian” has not yet got his duplicate belt, but there is' on exhibition at Tiffany’s, a beautiful silver vase, presented by some Englishmen at Stepney, to “John C. Keenan, the Champion of the World.” All this pugilistic mania is con fined, in New York, to the lower circles, and Va sad com ment on the want of popular refinement and culture. Speaking of crime and criminals, a few sentences back, reminds me’ of ah infamous but ingenious game that has lately been practiced with success upon some of the down town merchants. A very pretty young girl goes into a business office bite in the afternoon, ostensibly to sell bocks. If she finds the proprietor of the'jplacq alone, she begtf a dollar to bny show aud stockings at. the time, a pretty foot ondockle in jntrit 'naluraUhuj. The virtuous merchant begins to inspect, and his fear* ore eon firmed, when the girl demands an increased sum. “Leave my office I” cries the indignant gentleman. “Don’t touch mel” replies idte; “er l?ri call for help, and complain foot yon have token liberties with me]” The WbvinV, baek agbaatat the bit* idea, and the nnbluhing young woman demands ten dpUara for a copy of “ Mother Qooee,’’ or some such valuable work, repeating her threats until she goto the money. The only course is for the gentleman to call a policeman at once—os an.lnterview with due ls an ordeal that few professional swindlers like to stand. The weather here has been alternating; of late; between too hob too wot, and tod much of tioth together. This has our promenades somewhat vacant, especially as eve rybody Is ont oftown a| this season. The seaside watering placet are more patronised this year than the inland hotels and the ladies are having a capital time among the beaux and breakers of Newport; Cape May, Long Branch, ami other places. Jam happy to see that the little English bat is gainlngfovor as a seaflde head-dress. It is a small straw fabric, turning np closely all around, and ornamented on the left side with a rosette of ribbon, of any color to suit the complexion—thonghthe hew'pnrpte, mauve, is very fMh|onable, for yonng inisaes eapccially. The round hat, with a fell of lace from jtho brim, is not so mnch worn,now aalaat year- ‘ \ Anipfoet yery pretty head-dress for the coubby is the rigolette, made of crochet-work, in colored wools, which is renewing its old popularity. When made with lively col orijj.haraohlously shaded, it is a charming andpicthresqne ornament. ' ' The colors for dresses ore very brilliant tbia summer, and th«re U aninflnlte variety of styles. Crinoline still holds lts own, thtrag{» eomefcliat diminished from last Vinter’s proportions. Full robes, a douMe Jupe, of light and airy ihbrics,' with’ Tory plalntrimmlngs of ribbon, andthePom. padonr corsage, are among the prettiest. the large flaring bbnnjst, of the coal-scuttle pattern, did not obtain favor.
