The 4rit or Jm.r —lts Celebration in 'Car lisle.—After four long years of bloody and cruel strife the American -people are again enabled to celebrate the Anniversary of our National Independence in the hour of peace and prosperity. Thanks bo to n kind Provi dence for vouchsafing to us this blessing. In our town of Carlisle the 4th of July, 1805, was celebrated in an old-fashioned manner. The day dawned brightly, the weather being mild and pleasant, and not quite so warm as we experienced last week. Tho stores and banks wore closed, and work of all binds sus- pended, and the people—both young and old —all united with joyful hearts to celebrate tho 89th anniversary of our independence. The day was Ushered in by-.the firing of a national salute on tho public square at sun rise, and the ringing of tho Court House and Church bolls. This was tho signal for a ge- neral awakening from night’s slumbers and our citizens at once aroused themselves for tho festivities of tho day. During tho firing of the salute and ranging of tho bells the Car VisliTßrass Band played several national airs, which were well received by the assembled crowd. After thirty-six rounds bad been fired (one for each State.) our citizens re turned to their homos to prepare themselves for tho procession, which was formed at 10 o’clock on the public square, under tho di rection of Jacou Zuo, Jr,, Chief Marshal, in tho following order; Chief Marshal and Aids. U. S. Barracks Baud. # The Returned Soldiers, under tho command of Capt. Wm. M. Porter. The I. 0. of 0. F. in full Ilegalla. Joseph C. Thompson, Marshal. [Tho Odd Follows very seldom appear in our public processions, and On this occasion they turned out in strong numbers, making a fine display, and were much admired along the route for their uniform appearance..] Union Fire Company. Geo. Sbcalfor, Mar- shah Press —Black pants, white shirts, felt hats and belt. 34 men. Engine and Hose Car riage beautifully decorated with flags. Martial Music. Cumberland Fire Company. Ilobt.

Marshal Press—Same as Good Will. 24 men. Truck handsomely festooned with tho Stars and Stripes. After parading through tho several strode of the borough, the procession was halted al the College Campus, where a stand had been erected and a large crowd of citizens and la dies assembled. A meeting was organized, and Capt. Wm. M. Porter chosen as Presi dent, with a number at Vice Presidents and Secretaries. Capt. Porter, in a few brief remarks stated that the object of tho celebra tion was double in its purpose, namely— the celebration of' the’ glorious achievement of our patriot forefathers in making us a free and independent nation; and tho celebration of tho triumph of our arms over the South- ern rebellion. Tho exercises were then pro ceeded with as follows : Prayer £y Prof. 11. M. Johnson. Reading of the Declaration of Independence by Col. Wm. M. Penrose. Welcome speech to the returned soldiers by W. M. Afeakloy, Esq. , Music—“ Red, White and Blue.” A National Address by Capt. 11. M. Hender son. Music—" Star Spangled Banner,” The President then invited tho soldiers and firemen to partake of a collation prepar- ed for thorn by the citizens at Ilheei:) 1 * Hall. The procession was reformed and marched to the Hall, wherO the craving appetite of the men was satisfied and the burning thirst quenched with a little lemonade. This con cluded the exercises of the day until evening, when a second national salute was fired and ‘a small balloon set off from the public square, which ascended the air as far as the eye could see in beautiful stylo, amidst the ap plause of the assembled crowd. A grand display of fireworks concluded the celebra tion of July 4tU, IBGS, in the classic town of Carlisle. By way of conclusion we would remark that with the exception of a few free fights, caused by had whiskey, the dsy passed off quietly and pleasantly. Commencement Exercisesl ffho com mencement exercises of Dickinson College passed off remarkably well, a largo number of visitors from abroad being present. Col. John W. Forney delivered the address be fore the Literary Societies, and, as was ex pected, it was political from the beginning '’to the end, It is a grand mistake to allow political speakers of either party to interfere with the collegiate studies of the young. — The graduating class numbered sixteen young men, three of whom wore from Car lisle. Their names are John Coknman, Al fred M, Rhoads, and Edgab E. Hastings. The Barracks Band enlivened the exercises With their charming music. Sale of Government Mules. —Tc-day, at 10 o’clock, about 200 Government Mules will to offered for sale, at the lot adjoining Weak ley’s hotel. The mules are represented as young, sound and serviceable, thoroughly broken for the harness. Oar farmers should attend this sale. General Huberts is spoken of as the Democratic nominee for Governor of Wiscon sin, General Fairchild, it is thought, will the Republican candidate* Moat of tlid'seleotod orators who made ad dresses on tho subject of President Lincoln's assassination, took the ground that his death was Providential—that it was ordered by God for some wise purpose, &d. this was the po sition of the elergy-it whs the argument of Forney, in his political harangue last week, before ono of the societies of Dickinson Col lege. Now, wo have not much faith in this kind of doctrine; we don’t bolievo that Gud willed that ABR.ut.vsi Lincoln should viait a theatre,.there to bo murdered by Booth.— But, if tho friends of tlio deoeanod President do beliovo this, then why is it that they were so bores in demanding tho blood of Booth, and all others who connived at tho murder ? According to the belief of tho loyal’’ clergy —according to Forney’s belief, Booth and h xs accomplices were God's agents to commit .his atrocious crime. Then why punish them ? why even denounce., them ? Ah, wo fear these sycophants who take this position arc bad teachers, and know very little of God’s doings. Too long have they, impiously, at*' tempted to back up their wicked sayings and devilish doings, by claiming thht the Al mighty approved them. “ This is God’s war,” were the stereotyped words thousands of scoundrels used for four long years, when ad- dressing the people. Sanctimonious preach ers spoke these words from the pulpit, ns th ey taught their people to put at defiance the teachings of the,Son of God. Shoddyites and thieves re-echoed the sentiment from hoarse hreats aa they thrust their big bands into the people’s treasury. “ All God’s doings/’ said they, as they gloated over some brutality or theft committed by “ beast Butler,” or some other licensed marauder. And now :bcy tell us that Mr. Lincoln was murdered in Ford’s theatre by command of God 1 And yet they say “bang tho murderers—give them no quarter !’’ Hero is an inconsistency that wo would like Mr. Fornev or some other political mountebank to explain. No, no, the Almighty had nothing to do with the assassination of President Lincoln . Had it not been for bad brandy and whiskey, ,n all probability the crime never would have been thought of. It is wicked, infamous and reckless to thus trifle with tho name of the Almighty, and the man who does it is either an Infidel or a fool. . Bold Thieving — A Darkey in ike grocery Business:—hast Thursday a colored man, named Gift, in the employ of Wm. Blair & Son, Grocers of this place, was arrested for stealing goods from the store of the above firm. Tho darkey was employed to parry away packages of goods, and do all tho nec essary drudge work about the store. So much confidence as to his honesty Was placed in him by the firm, that they intrusted to his care tho keys of tho-£toro after it was closed to business at night. Ho had been highly rccomme,ndcd to them for his honesty. But how grossly has bo deceived them; instead of proviogjumsclfan honest man, ho is dis covered an expert sooundrcl. In the absence of the clerks be had tho entire con- trol of the store, and then the temptation to steal entered into bis black heart at once.— Coffee, tea, sugar, molasses, rice, oranges, hams, dried beef, dishes, knives and forks, &c., &-c., wore carefully extracted from tho store and taken homo to adorn his own table and enable him to feast like a king. For three months lie had been enjoying tho?o luxuries at tho expense of iiis confiding em ployers without being detected. But bis thieving career has at last been checked.— Tho missing goods could not be accounted for by tho clerks, who declared that they had not sold them. Tho feasting darkey was then questioned, but, of course, he knew nothing about “do matter/’ A search warrant was then placed in tho hands of Constable Mar tin, who made a thorough inspection of the darkey's residence, where a small branch of the grocery business was found to have been established. This was too much for the dar key, and ho openly acknowledged to the theft and that ho had been in the business for some time, which was evidently so from the pile of goods discovered in his cellar. Ho was ordered to carry the goods hack to tho store, and then taken into custody. Tho Messrs. Blair, however, offered to let him go unpun ished if ho would leave tho town by Friday night; this ho fulled to do, and ho is no (v in jail awaiting his trial at the next term of Court, when ho will discover to his sorrow that the Grocery business “ am a hard road to travel." It is said that this thieving scoundrel gave tea parties nearly every eve ning, to which ho invited a great number of his sable brethorn, who all lived fat and jol ly at tho expense of their honest bruddor.— Wo also hear it said that this “ honest brud der" pretended to be a minister of the gos pel, and that ho preached a sermon on the “Forgiveness of Sins" tho Sunday .previous to his arrest, when ho exhorted his sable brethern in this style.; “ Don't do ns I do, but do as I toll you." His recent thieving propensities have no doubt convinced liis de luded followers that his advice had bettor bo heeded. Opinions of the Supreme Court. —The Supremo Court held a session on Friday last in Philadelphia, at which wore present all the Justices. Quito a number of opinions were delivered, and among tho rest tho 10l- lowing: llolferstein vs. Leonard ami Leonard, Cum berland county. Judgements reversed, and venire facias do novo awarded.

What disposition will be made of 4 tbc buildings wo havo not learned, but presume they will bo used for the regu lar army. “ LOYAL” INCONSISTENCY. More Applicants for Pardon. —Among the recent applications for parclon received by the President, was that of cx-Govornor Vance, of. North Carolina, and John A.

Wc ask the attention of our readers'to -the following letter from officers and soldiers of the 202 d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. In ib the reasons for the immediate paying oft and muster out of the regiment, are so well and forcibly stated that anything wo could say would bo but repetition and supereroga tion. Wo can only say that wo sincerely hope that the War Department will immedi ately ncccdo to the universal desire of the men and their friends, by ordering tbo regi ment to -Harrisburg for pay and muster out. The men are really not needed where they are, hut are urgently required at home Tamaqua, Pa., 1 Headquarters Camp 202 d P. V., f June 30th, 1865. j Editor Patriot and Union Yonr fearless 1 and able pen in behalf of the rights of the people, induces us to appeal to you to give us 1 your aid in making a statement of what w 6 believe to bo an imposition upon a large ma- j jority of tbo citizens of Schuylkill county and upon nine hundred scldicrs, as well as a dis grntc to our.whole Slate. This regiment (the 202 d P. V.) was mus tered into the service of the-Government to serve one year, unless sooner discharged, at Harrisburg, on the sth of September, 1864* According to general orders from the War Department, dating as far back as the latter days of Mav, all of the regiments from the 103 th to the 215th P. V., were to be discharg ed lust as soon as it -could be effected. The twelve months' troops were selected as the yirsi to be discharged. Under this order all have boon discharged except the 202 d, and gone to their homes. When we left Virginia it was generally understood by the men that we, too, were to proceed to the Capitol of our Stale and be mustered out ; but we were most <j"Tegio«aly mistaken. Instead of being sent to*our farms and workshops, whore wo are so greatly needed, the regimen was forwar ded to Schuylkill county to act as n terrorism over a class of laboring men, who perform la bor which an uninitiated man would not do for less than $2O per diem. A class of men, 1 too, according to the same number, whose 1 equals cannot bo found in any other locality for strict conformity to the laws of the Com monwealth. It is true that there exists an indisposition on the part of those people to i labor for less than what they hold, to be a fair recompense for their dangerous and arduous wonk, far down in the dark pits, where the Hrrht of day is entirely shut oat from them. It°is true as well that the market for the sale of the product of their labor is at this time dull, and that their employers are not justi fied in paying remunerative prices. But it is equally true that these men have the inalien able right not to work , and their employers nol to employ; unless at their option ; hence, a military force kept hero at a heavy expense on a treasury already burdened with a debt that is overwhelming, appears to us the height of extravagance, folly, and exceedingly de moralizing to our citizens and soldiers. The operatives and their bosses, the gen eral and his shoulder-strap whippers-in are all of our opinion in regard to this matter. The miners, mechanics and laborers, the sol diers and many of their line officers arc of one opinion. The operatives and their coadjutors antici pate large dividends. The gcucr.il and his suckers are content to remain in a service where they are spending a more agreeable lime than ever before. Their wines, horses, loves, and lino apparel, backed by largo pay, is surely sufficient inducement to hold them iu the harness. The miners, mechanics, &c., arc dissatisfi ed with-wages that will barely keep their 1 families from starving, dissatisfied with the I heavy taxes staring them in the face, and are most anxious to stop the excessive ex pense accumulating those taxes. The soldiers, &0., are dissatisfied with per forming unnecessary military duty, dissatis fied with the annoying life of camp, and de sire to return to their homes and families, 'their fields and workshops. Let the people look at the oppomg pictures. Keeping the soldiers here in SchulkUl county, will he of advantage to the few, whilst discharging them will be of advantage to the many. It costs in the neighborhood of one hun dred thousand dollars per month to keep up the military district of Lehigh, when if time amount, was distributed equally out to the minors, &c,, who w»U not work for less than enough to support their families, they would all be at work this day. Would it nob bo bettor for Government to devote this amount to the augument.ition of the price of labor, than to send her bayonets here to affright women and children and create a general disgust against her laws, which pamper the rich, and oppress the poor ? Indeed, is it not a bad precedent to send soldiers into a civil community to execute laws where the civil authority has never been resisted, when properly exercised? Here on the streets of Tamaqua it is no uncommon thing to see many of the officers, in military undress, staggering along drunk, a disgrace at once to the army and the com munity. Many others will be found crowd ing the houses of ill-fame at night, whilst some more daring than the rest spend all their time there. At dress-parade the Jino officer reels in front of the colors, and insults the men with low and violent threats for not executing readily his incoherent commands. “ Shall such things be, and go unwhippod ?" whilst the longing to bo at their homes with their anxious families.

Stephens' Aceoanl ol the Hampton Roads Conference. [From tho N, T. World.] Tho August.! Chronicle publishes a aotn.il ■od statement of what passed at the oelobratj a peace conference in Hampton Roans, materials for this statement wore ftirtnsliod by Alexander IX. Stephens. They consisted in part of oral communications mafic by Mr. Stenliens to tho writer, and in part ot tlio confidential written report (never before pn )• lished) furnished by tho rebel commissioners to tho rebel President. From tho report, which was signed by nil throe of the commis sioners, we copy the following significant ex tract, as being more illustrative than any thing else in it of tho liberal tofnnor manifes ted On that occasion by Mr. Lincoln : Mr. Seward then remarked: Mr. 1 resi dent—lt is as well to inform these gentlemen that yesterday Congress acted tiponi tho amendment of tire Constitution abolishing Sl 'M°°Lincoln stated that was true, and sug gested that there was -a question as to me right of the insnrgonfSta'tca to return at onco and claim a right to vote upon the amend ment, to which the concurrence or of tho States was required. Ho stated that it would bo desirable to have the institution of slavery abolished by tho consent ot the people as soon as possible—ho hoped within six years. Ho also stated that four hundred millions of dollars might ho offered as com i pensation to the owners; and remarked : “ You would he surprised were I to give you tho names of those who favor that. Tho Chronicle also makes, on tho authority of Mr. Stephens, the following statement: Mr. Stephens came home whh a new cause of sorrow, -and those who said ho talked ot coming home to ihako war speeches and de nounce the terms offered, simply lieu. .Be fore Mr. Lincoln’s death, he thought ho was doing a favor to him not to Include that offer of four hundred millions in gold for the ■Southern slaves, in the published report, for , would bo used to tho injury of Mr. Lincoln | hy those of his enemies who talk about taxa tion and the debt. These remarkable statements, which, if true,- arc important materials of history, raise two questions to which public curiosity will seek an answer: 1. Is it probable that the main statements that relating to tho offer by President Lin coln of the four hundred millions—is true? 2. Supposing it true, who are the parties referredlo Mr. Lincoln whoso approval ol tho offer would have surprised the rebel corii missioncra ? , The fact that the statement was made in a | confidential report prepared by tho commis sioners for the information of Mr. Davis, and signed by all their names, creates a strong presumption of its truth, which can bo rebut ted only by evidence of its intrinsic improba bility. If tlioro.be such improbability it cer tainly does not lie in any conflict between tho offer and the tenor of Mr. Lincoln’s ante cedent views. fu his second annual message, : Mr. Lincoln said : 11 It is none tho less true ; for having been often said, that tho people of ' the South arc not more responsible for the introduction of this property than tho people ‘ of th-e North ; and when it is remembered 1 how unhesitatingly wo all use cotton and su * gar, and share tho ©refits of dealing in them, ’ it may not be quite safe to say that the South f has been more, responsible than the North for its continuance. If, then, for a common 06- * Jed, thin property in to be sacrificed, is it not ? Just (hat it be dune at a common charge V y A ! comparison of this passage in the message ! with the statementof the commissioners, ren ders tho alleged offer entirely c<ediblo^ Tho next question is, who Mr. Lincoln probably referred to in bis dark intimation respecting those who approved of-tho offer. As ho used tno plural number, wc can lift only one cornel* of the veil. Whoever may have boon the surprising indorsers of tills of fer, it is certain that trace Orcclv was its original proposer. In bis letter to Presi dent Lincoln recommending tho Niagara Falls negotiation (fturrcptiously published about the time of the Hampton Iliads confe rence for the purpose "f defaming Mr. Greo ly) lie suggested, ns one of his dx points to constitute tho luims of peace, the payment of four hundred, millions in United States five per cent, bonds, as a compensation Jo the lov.al owners of slave-*, to be distributed tuii mg- tbc'Siatcs in the ratio of tho slave po pulation ; tho share of each State to be at the absolute its Legislature. Tho pa ternity of the four hundrol million offer made by President Lincoln clearly belongs to Mr. Oreoly, It would seem, from tlfo statement of Mr. Lincoln, that when he showed it to others, it had the fortune to be indorsed in some very unexpected quarters. The facts hero collated have only a histori cal interest; but they throw a curious light on one of the most remarkable transactions during the war. We dare say it was hardly surmised by those who violated confidences to procure the publication ot Mr. Greeley’s letter, that President Lincoln was, at that very time, giving the most scandalous part of it the highest sanction it could possibly ro 'ccivc. “Opposition” no Crime Now.— A rabid Abolition exchange gays “ Andrew Johnson is not born a fool to re* ceive tlio unmoasiiro 1 censure of loyal news papers, nor is ho a born and educated rebel that ho should now bo spattered with praise by the apologists for rebellion and slavery? let all loyal then trust him, and, for decen cy’s sake Jot all who honor treason cease to praise him.” This is the punt at which the negro party has at last arrived. While the majority of its organs are berating in round terms the policy of “ his Accidoncy” Andrew Johnson, the few are hyp icritically counseling chica nery to secure to themselves the spoils.— Their hypocrisy U proven by the fact that what they ortce declared to bo a crime—“ op posing the Government”—they now advise their opponents to do. Afraid to oppose Johnson themselves, they are trying to drive all the late elements of political antagonism into direct hostility to Johnson and his poli cy. Verily, the President may cry “ save mo from my friends.” Nine Hundred. “ iC/' Jay Cooke's 11 blessing 1 ’ circular says : “ The funded debt of the United States is the the addition of three thousand millions of dollars to the the previously realized wealth' of the nation.” What a pity it is that the debt is not ton times as great, for then' wo .should bo the wealthiest nation on the “foot stool.” The rascally contractors and specu lators are still more rascally for not making the debt largo enough to enable us to buyout the whole universe with what wo owe, be sides leavinga comfortable quantity of this valuable debt in our pockets wherewith to buy bread, lager and tobacco. A horse which was to bo driven from Boston to Portland on Wednesday, between sunrise and sun set—distance 11G miles—on a $l,OOO wager, fell and died 10 miles from Portland, having accomplished 100 miles considerably inside of time.

For four years the Democracy have put up with all kinds of slang and abuse, and they have concluded that it is about long enough. The tables are turning. [Corrospondonco of tho Ilond'ug Gazotto.} ■LETTER FROM EUROPE.' Vienna, Juno 5, 1805. J. Lawrence Getz. Esq. Dear Sir .-—We arrived horo yesterday at 10 o’clock, A. M., from Munich ; where, af ter having finished oar business, wo to. see all tho places of interest, for which Mu nich is celebrated. Its many public Parks and Art Galleries are not surpassed in tho world. One of the chief objects of interest, is its largo Brass Foundry, which supplies tho world with statues. All our great Am * rican statesmen are exhibited hero, in casta of colossal size, in which the people of Europe delight. Wo visited the JSauariu, a bronze statue 95 foot high, its head (urge enough for four persons to sit in. Wo next went through the Royal Palace j it took us two hours'to see all tho rooms, which wore occu pied by tho ancient German Emperors and Kings fur centuries. The King’s and Prin cesses’ reception rooms, Ball and Concert halls Cannot bo Tho thirty-six beautiful women of Munich, of royal as well as civilian birth, are hero exhibited in a spe cial parlor. They all rceido in Munich, and, except two, are yet living. Here are also to bo seen tho German Emperors in bronze and gold, with the ancient Crown, of gold and diamonds, of immense value. Tho balls are all decorated with splendid paintings of an-‘ oient battles, illustrating tho war of tho cru- sades and later martial exploits. But, to come back to.the present times.— Tho streets paraded by Regiments of Soldiers, with splendid Bands of Music.— An immense Theetro is building here, and is finished up to tho third story. Having heard no much of Folks Fcsta, we concluded to vist the dedication of the Monu- ffient to Claude Lorraine, au eminent artist who studied hero years ago. About three miles from the city, in a beautiful Park on the Isor river, wo met a gathering of-at least eight thousand perrons of both sexes* Huge piles of Lager Beer casks were seen at stand; ladies and gentlemen, with children," wore drinking their quart mugs of beer, and passing the hours merrily in chatting and sipping. No other drinks ex'cept-coffoo wero to bo had, but an abundance of eatables. At 3 o'clock wo hoard a tremendous noise and hurrahing*? when the King of Bavaria, a young man, 19 years old> with his grandfath er, the ex-King Maxifijiliaft, made their ap pearance. Some amusing and pleasing cere monies wore now porlormod. A huge Ice Bear, on a platform, represented Winter '; around which a fantastically dressed party performed some comio piece, throwing snow balls in all directions. The Ice Bear sud denly faded away, and glorious Summer took its place, with wagon loads of splendid flow ers. Soon, a lady with two attendants, ap peared before the platform, in a chariot, trimmed with trees and flowers, and drawn by two white horses, and recited a beautiful poem. Her beauty and magnificent dress had a most charming effect; and while she was speaking dozens of white pigeons flew out of tbe chariot up into the air. Several Bands enlivened the gathering with delight ful music. During all this exciting scene, not a policeman or soldier was-to bo seen on the ground, and not a single case of intoxi cation. And this is so in all beer-drinking countries. Mania a Puta is nor known here. The beautiful Forests in Europe are all planted except the Schwarzioald (Black For est), which is still of orignal growth. The governments hold them as public property, plant the trees, and rear them. The Pine trees are as straight as a needle. • "Wo p assod over the Black Forest—it is a beautiful sight, many of the trees being one hundred feet high. ■ Most of this timber is floated down the Murg, into the river llhino, and thence to 11011. nd, at high price-'. As so- n as tlu ; Pine trees are eight or ten years old, all the r brush is cut away, in thousands of acres.— leuco the beauty and straightness of the •eos. Wo left Munich at half-past 8 o'closk, P. M., for 'Vienna. A clear night gave me a chance to see the country all along the rail road, with its villages and mountain scenery and crystal streams pouring down the ravines. At half-past 1 A. M., wo reached Saltzburg, the border city of Austria, beautifully locat ed. Here all our luggage had to bo exam ined. Every passenger’s trunk was searched to the bottom ; but when the officers oamo to our throe trunks, and saw, added to my name, “ U . States of America,” they passed on, with the remark : Es ist all recht—las sen } s se(/n. n 0, glorious America! Our passports were vised without looking at us, nor asking any questions. Wo passed the City of Linz,' and a number of romantic ancient villages ; also the Moolk Monastery, on a beautiful height. They have an unuol income in rents of over four millions. It is said that quite a number ol such rich institutions exist hero. At 10 o’clock in the morning wo arrived in the cap ital of Austria. The country, from Munich to Vienna, is an agricultural country; mostly very fertile. There is no wine grown along here. The mountain forests supply the lower Donau re gion with timber and cord-wood, floated down the Danube and its tributaries. All the crops, so far ns I could see, promise an t bun dant harvest. I have had talks with grain dealers, who say there is a considerable old stock on hand, and they do not know where to sell; ns the German settlements in Russia supply the wants of England.by the Black Sea. Best wheat sells here at 90 qts. per GO lbs. According to our measure and curren cy, no doubt for double—say 170 to 180 cts. —-including all expanses, it could bo import ed, via Trieste, to New York, This is an important fact to our farmers ; they should not ask too high rates, as America is bound to compete with the world. , Hungarian wine has become quite plenty I and cheap.hero. The people (I allude to the laboring classes) have found out that a quart of Beer has its value in food, and that wine and spirits act the reverse. At 35 cents per day's wages, 5 ots. goes for beer, and wine and spirits are ghen up. Hence, Breweries are rising up everywhere in the midst of the Hungarian wine districts, and so along the Rhine, where the best wines aro.raised. As it is tho substitute for coffee in the early morning, wo see poor women fetching their 'stone jugs of Beer for breakfast. I have written this letter before breakfast. This is Whit-Monday, a groat holiday for the people of Vienna. At 9 o'clock we com menced, at least intended to commence our official business; but no Consuls no Ambas sadors, and no-body else was to bo found.— All wore out in the surbarbs of Vienna.— We therefore concluded to do the same ; so wo hired a coaf.h, and drove out four or five miles to visit the extensive Breweries of. Herr Drehcr, which brow 220,000 barrels of Boor per annum. Also tho second largo Brewery, in Leising, five miles from Vienna. On ac count of high city taxat’on, business men re main in tho outskirts. This is very import ant. A city should never bo burdened with heavy debts; because it checks .improve ments. On our return, we entered the New World, a public garden of great .extent, and beauti fully laid out—the gathering place of the ar istocracy of Vienna.

FRBIUC.LAUEfI. “ Tkev Don’t Know tu'b Man.” —Th6 Radicals—Jacobins is tlio bettor name—are swearing, scolding, battling, teasing, coax ing, cajoling, President Johnson—as they did President Lincoln. The lending Radical, or Jalubin .paper of Wisconsin, printed at Mil waukee, says; “ The government has taken its position against negro suffrage distinctly and une quivocally, just as President Lincoln did at first-against emancipation. Hat lit had to bade doilm, just Johnson will bo obliged to do in this case. For his course is now disapproved by the loading ptocscs and members of the Ij nion party, and is approved by the entire Copperhead party. People may turn up their noses at tlio Opposition of Wendell Phillips and men of his type. But When such men as Prof. Amasa Walker, of Boston, tako public issue with the President and the consciences and the hearts, not only of the religious bodies, hut also of the loyal press and the loyal masses, are opposed to the President on this question, he must change, or bo without a party to support him, or throw himself into the arms of the Cop perheads.” In reference to this, the Nashville Dispatch. President Johnson’s homo paper, remarks: “ So the radicals think they can make President Jonnson come to terms. They don’t know the man.” Indeed they do not. No two men, Says tliO New York Express, could ho. nloro unlike than Lincoln and Johnson. The snavitcr in mode is Lincoln, the fortiler in re is John son. Edward Everett was an educated Lin coln ; Andrew Johnson is an alias for An drew Jackson. Bullying and threatening, end storming, will but invigorate his nerves and bring out his pluck. As he backed down the secession clergy of Nashville, so ho will back down the Jacobin clorgp of Boston, if they try to bully him as tho bullied Lincoln/ .Military vs. Civil Courts. —The Balti more Sun, ft thorough Republican paper, holds the following language upon this sub* joct: “ lb has already boon stated that the Pras- Idcnt remitted the sentence of lion. Benja min Harris, pronounced by a military court, because of the overwhelming testimony fur nished since the proceedings closed, im peaching the character of the witnesses upon whoso testimony the prosecution relied.— Some of the journals hold that this is only another proof of the necessity of trying civil oases In civil tribunals. In *a civil court the testimony would have been so sifted, that an unreiia l 1) witness could not possible have any weight attached to his testimony. The forms and practices of our civil courts, in taking and receiving testimony, are the experi ence of ages, and connot he sot aside with, any safety to personal liberty.” It is hard for Republican presses to come into the Democratic way of thinking, hut many of the better sort are learning that way, ta strongly as they can without direct ly confronting their master loaders in hostile array. But to this dread alternative they muatcomo at last, without ifs or bats. If any necessity for military courts did at any time exist, that necessity has certainly .paar od away with the rebellion. Justice now de mands, in the name of the people that tho civil courts bo revived. Butler's Generosity - . —Wo are in posses sion of facts in relation to a deed of kindness performed by Ben.

The clergyman despoiled by Butler was Dr. Palmer, one of 'tho most eminent clergymen in America.

Did every editor who Tms defended this “ gold robber” and coward receive a similar token of his re gard ? Constitutionality op the Bill fob the Payment of Bounties. —On Friday last, in the Supremo Court a decision was rendered affirming the constitutionality of the act for the payment of bounties. The plaintiffs, who were tax payers of the borough of Blairs ville‘, asked for an injunction to restrain the authorities of that place from borrowing a certain amount of money to procure volun teer enlistmenfs. The case was brought be fore the Indiana Court, and the injunction asked for was refused. The case was then carried to the Supremo Court, where it was argued last winter, and held under advise ment. The Judges failed to agree, and the case was ordered for reargument at Harris burg, when F. Carroll Brewster took part in the reargument on behalf of the City of Phil adelphia, which has appropriated money for similar purposes, A majority of the court (jelivored their opinion, affirming the consti tutionality of the law. Justice Thompson delivered a dissenting opinion, in which Chief Justice Woodward concurred.

Having been disappointed in ke’Oing the provost marshal Tuesday afternoon tho owrtcf went to the citadel Wednesday morning, and having beeri told that Capt, Caldwell Whs the officer who had such mat ters in charge, application was made to, him, with a statement of what had occurred.— Captain Caldwell promised that ho would see General Sohcramolfinnig tho evening bf that day, with reference to the seizure of the car riage and horses, and tho owner was dirdbtoi to call the next day, Thursday.

Boyd Hamilton, Eaq., of Harrisburg, Mr. 11. is most eminently quali fied, both as regards his general and technical knowledge, to speak knowingly upon this subject—being a practical farmer, the head of our great Agricultural society, a min of letters and books, and, withal, a shrewd and comprehensive observer of all that'is pass ing armind him, from tho latest promulgcd theory in political economy down to a fruit | | grower’s convention.

I have been for soma time seriously concerned at tho falling off and derangement of agricultural products, particularly in tho important one of cattle. It cannot bo overlooked by the most casual observer, that from the immense slaughter and waste consequent upon tho supply of an imal food for the army and navy, whilst im porting and breeding are at a stand-still, thfli most strenuous efforts will be necessary, ofl| tho part of tho farmer, to prevent an absolute scarcity, particularly in the product of hoef-j cattle, and that ‘beef must soon bo sold ftf rates that but few will bo able to afford.—’ Tlie high prices at present offered by butch ers have tempted farmers to part with their hm/cst and bed formed cows , which under!. : different circumstances would have been Mined for breeding, and Hie most health);. and vigorous heifer calves naVe been sold tcp-;;. them.
