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..]

shah
Press —Black pants, white shirts, felt hats
and belt. 34 men. Engine and Hose Car
riage beautifully decorated with flags.

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

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.

SECOND LETTER FROM THE 302 d REG’T.
From tbo Patriot <fc Union.
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 ?"

homes with their anxious families. Give
oar, 0 yo heavens ! and save us from a con
tinuance of these wrongs.

Fall In Price of Beef. —On this subject
an exchange says : ” The price of beef cat
tle had a heavy fall in the markets, especial
ly in New York, last week. Some of tlis
Western drovers, who had paid more in Ill
inois than they could obtain for their oattlo
in New York market, lost very heavily.,- -
Some failures are said to have taken place.
Calves were also very plentiful and much
lower. Wo notice tha-t'a contract has boon
made by the Government with'a person in
Now York, to supply beef for tho use of the
army and navy for the next throe months, at
$9,25 per 100 pounds, live weight. The cat
tle aro to bo of first quality, and to bo. Dot
less than three years old, and are all to bo
thoroughly inspected. Tho same contractor
has furnished* beef during the preceding
three months for $13,49 per 100 pounds,
which shows a decline of $4,14. —When will
this nows roach the earsuf our butchers, and
their customers treated accordingly ?

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.”

“ 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

CT” Democrats have the same right to
speak that Abolitionists have and they will
exorcise it. 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.

■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

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. Hundreds of carriages
were in front of the entrance. We paid 00
kreulzers each for the privloge to enter. Here
we see thousands of both sexes, in great
splendor, of dress and appearance, seated in
beautiful family groups, enjoying their Lager
Beer and Coffee. Wo are told that few years
aga, nothing but wine was drank—now, it is
all Beer. . I only wish our American ladies
could see the blooming daughters of Vienna
sitting bore, with their parents, and drink
ing their glass of Lager. Three Opera
Bunds’ of Music arc engaged hero, playing
fts-differont elands in this extensive Park.—
The celebrated Professor Strauss is hero, di
recting ono of the Operas in person. As wo
entered the Park, he was performing one of
my favorite * pieces. Ho is a fino-lookmg

“ 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

to a Republican editor of N. Y. city, with
his compliment?. The clergyman despoiled
by Butler was Dr. Palmer, one of 'tho most

This magnificent service is now in the pos

to whom Butler donated it. Did every editor
who Tms defended this “ gold robber” and

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.
A Threat at the President. —Xlio Post

“ But there is one question, never before
agitated in our politics, which the close of
the war has suddenly evoked, and which,
like the ghost of Banquo, will not down]
even at the bidding of President Johnson." ’
The question alluded to is negro suffrage,
which the Leader insists must be carried out.

HOW SOltlE GENERALS GET CARRIAGES
[Corroapondouco of the World.]
CirAHTiEaToN, S. C., June—. —On Tuesday,
21st of February, a negro soldier, aeoompn'
niod by nn armed guard, onmo upon u lO
premises for the purpose, as ho ta.
king the horses he might find, lie was asked,
if ,ho hftd any order or authority, to which 1, 0
roplis3 he had not any written order ;, none
was necessary when impressing ; hut ttiat In,
was directed verbally by the General
to enter preinisasmnd bring away horses.—
Whoa it was stated that it was proper to
have a receipt for the property, the soldier
said ho would not or could not give one; hut
if t *'o owner would apply the following after
noon i?'t the olfiob'of the provost marshal at

The horses, which had been tiNcort l>wey oa
Tuesday, wfiro brought to the premises, the
harness put upon them, and they w'"ro driv
on off with the carriage. The natua o f the
owner, written Upon a slip of paper, >»aJ
furnished to one of these soldiers with the
request that ho would hand it to the proper
offioer, in order Unit a reord might bo made
of the seizure. 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. He did call
upon Captain OaldWell, and was then told by
him. that ho had waited upon General School
ntolfinnig the evening previous, as promised,
but tho General’s engagement prevented his
speaking to him upon tho subject. The own
er subsequently called at the citadel, but has
nefer be6n enabled to see Captain Caldwell,
nor to learn wlmt wastho result of his inter
view with General Sohemmolfinnig, nor
whether any proper record has been made el
the seizure and removal of his property.
Within a few days after their seizure, the
carriage and horses Were put on-board of the
steamer Diamond, under tho superintendence
of General Gilmore, to whoso use they wore
new appropriated, and they were taken to
Hilton Head.
Tho horses wore not impressed for military
purposes, that is either for artillery or oaviilj
ry service, or for tho uses of field or stuff olfi
oors of infantry, but were seized in a private
stable, and with tho carriage and.harness
wore taken from tho posession of a citizen,
and were appropriated to tho private uses,
and for the comfort and convenience of first
a Brigadier General, and shortly afterward
of the Major General commanding tho de
partment.
The above facts are notorious in this city,
and can bo proved by numerous loyal oitb

tho “ monthly report of tho Agricultural De
partment for April and May" we notice, urn
der tho above heading, tho following commu
nication from A. 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 |

“ Mr. Hamilton, president of tho Pennsyl
vania State Agricultural Society, thus writOJ
to the Commis-sioner of Agriculture :
“ I am under obligation to you for copies
of tho monthly issue froiii year department,
and have distributed tho copies sent to the
vice president and commissioners of this so*
ciety, Pardon me whilst I state my views
on an important matter closely Connected
with Agricultural prosperity, briefly, hut
very clearly, alluded to and elucidated in tlfi
, report before me. 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);.
