On the western slope of the Allegho flies, in the valley of the Conemaugh just where that beautiful river strikee the " Laurel Hill" range, one of the greatest of the industrial establishments of Pennsylvania is situated. This is the Cambria Iron Company's Works, for the manufacture of railroad bars. It is au establishment that the people of Philadelphia should have knovledge of, for it is owned in this city ; it is one that the people of the State should feel a deep interest In, for it is the foremost of the great rolling mills and iron works peculiar to this Commonwealth, and It Is one that should elicit the pride of Americans everywhere, for it is the largest single establishment of the kind in the world. It is turning out rails, to-day, at the rate of five miles in length, or sufficient to lay two and a half miles of track every day. Express ed in pounds, the daily product of rails is five hundred thousand pounds—two hundred and fifty tons—a quantity suf ficient to freight a good sized sea-going vessel, and It would take a fleet of three hundred such v.w„ 3 ..els to carry the pro duct for one But few persons can form an adequate idea of the number and magnitude of the agencies which so vast a product sets in motion. This it is our purpose to present as well as our brief space will permit. The picturesque hills which surround the Works are filled with coal and iron, clay for lire brick, cement, and nearly all the essentials for the manufacture of pig iron. There are three principal seams of coal, and two principal veins of iron ore. There is a seam of coal high upon the hill, and then a seam of iron; and then another seam of coal, and so on down to the lap of the valley. Under the soil of these hills burrowing far into the earth,,twelvehundred workmen are all the thin employed, mining coal and iron ore for this one mill. The enor mous amount of coal and of ore they have to get out every day will be under stood when it is stated that it requires about five tons of coal and nearly four tons of ore to make one ton of rails. When the whole dully product of the rolling mill—viz., 250 tons of rails per day—is manufactured directly from the ore and coal in these hills, it requires the miners to get out about one thousand tons of ore, and about twelve hundred tons of coal every day. But a consider able proportion of the rails made are from old bars re-rolled, and from pig iron produced at a furnace worked by the company near Hollidaysburg, Of the five tons of coal used in the manu facture of a ton of railroad bars, about three tons are first applied to the re duction of three tons of ore into pig iron. The coal, however, Is not used In Its native form, but is first turned into coke, In which operation large numbers of workmen are all the time engaged. This is done by subjecting the coal to the action of smouldering fires, by which means the inflammable and other gases are consumed and the car bon of the coal Is left nearly pure. The carburetted hydrogen gas tints con sumed is more than twice as much as it takes to light the whole city of Philadelphia, in doors and out. The iron ore is like wise subjected to a preparatory pro cess. It Is thrown out from the mouths of the mines into vast hills, at the base of which cord wood is laid, and through Which coal is interspersed, so as to make smouldering fires here also, to " roast" the injurious gases out of the ore. To complete this operation it takes about six months before the ore can be handled so as to feed it into the fur naces where the pig iron is made. The making of the " pigs " is effected in a }lumber of immense "cupolas," into the top of which the coke and the " roasted " ore are dumped by a con stant procession of carts, day and night, year in and year out. The fire in one of these has not been out for more than three years. Although the material thrown into the tops of these cupolas looks very much like the dirt and clay carted off wherever a cellar is being dug in the city, it comes out at the bottom in streams of glowing molterriron, which running into moulds of sand makes the pigs. Several hundred hands are em ployed in " coking" and in the furnaces described. The pig iron is then taken to the mill, which covers an immense area of ground. It first goes into what are called " puddling" furnaces where it is heated to a white heat and becomes of the consistency of dough, by the constant stirring of a class of workmen called " puddlers." They stand in front of the " fiery furnaces" and by means of long iron rods thrust through small openings, they stir the iron about until nearly all the carbon is burned out of it and it is at last brought out in large glowing lumps, which are loaded on iron trucks and taken to a huge re volving wheel called a "squeezer," and this after a revolution or two throws the iron outin compressed masses called " bloom " iron. The " blooms " are then- taken to the "rolls," which are great trains of revolving cylinders, and after tieing passed through these they come out in flat slabs of iron about five feet long, eight or ten Inches wide, and about an inch thick. These are next laid Into " piles " of eight or ten slabs, the top slab being of " granular " or hard iron for the top surface of the rail, and the bottom slab being of fibrous or tough iron for the under sur face. The " piles " are then hated to a white heat and taken to other train of rolling machinery, through which they are successively back and forth until each "pile" emerges from the "roll" a perfect rail, something over thirty feet long. Immediately upon is suing from the "rolls" the rails, while still red hot, are placed in front of cir cular saws, and are cut to the exact length ordered. The rails are then left to cool, and then each one is tested and adjusted by other machinery. Those that do not stand the test are sent batik • to bo worked over, and the perfect rails are immediately passed out of the mill, and at once loaded up on cars, to be ta ken to their destination. The whole place is a wonder. Every where there Is incessant motion, from the loading up of the cupolas with the dirt-like masses of. ore to the final issue of the iron in a constant stream of rails that make five miles of length every day. Fires are blazing and gleaming everywhere. Immense numbers of workmen and wonderful masses'of ma chinery are moving with never-ceasing .energy in all directions. Including the twelve hundred miners ,already , men tioned, the,employes of the Company number four thousand ;and these, with their families, constituttnearly the l.whole population of Johnstown, a flour ishing town of about 20,000 inhabitants.

Spa c e tails to give a complete descrip tion; ut we have said enough , to give some idea of an establishment of the most remarkable character, a grand type of the peculiar industries of inter ior Pennsylvania, and one fully as worthy of attention and study as those we hear so much about, whether in Old England or New England.—Philadel phia Ledger. A Bay on Vesuvius. We copy the following description of " a day on Vesuvius," by Professor Bennett, of Lima, from the New York GlaridianqAdvocate : Veteran travellers who have climbed Etna, or looked into the boiling vortex of auna Loa, are accustomed to call Vesuvius the " baby volcano." Not withstanding this, its ascent is an event of no common interest in the adven tures of the ordinary tourist. It was therefore, with no little degree of en thusiasm that our littli3 party of five Americans, who had kept each other company for i several days in Venice, Rome, and Naples, mounted our little mountain ponies to go up the volcano. Provided with a guide, and one porter for carrying provisions, surplus clothing &c., we began the ascent at ten o'clock in the morning. At first, the pathway leads, of course, over the old beds of ashes, and lava that buried Hercula neum and Pompeii eighteen centuries ago, but which are now covered with a wonderful luxuriance of fruits and grains. As we drive on through wind ing streets and lanes the prospect widens, becoming more and more beau tiful. Naples seems to lie at our very feet. Capri, Ischia, and Procida are set like gems in the sea ; while the Cam pagua, with its wealth of olives, vines, oranges, lemons and mulberries, dies away into the dim distance on our right. Soon however, we strike the field of 1858 and 1859, black and awful. No sight of my life has given such a notion of the horrors of desolation and dark ness. My vocabulary is too poor to give any adequate description of the character of this lava mass. It would seem that Milton must have seen some thing of this kind in order to be able to paint some of the awful pictures in his immortal epic. One easily imagines this the scene of that dire contest, resulting in casting down the rebellious host ; for here in this blackened mass is seen the horrible debris of a once mighty multitude of warring giants, whose limbs, trunks and entrails lie scattered in interminable confusion, closely compacted with remnants of monsters,partners of their "foul revolt." Yes, here is that dark, rebellious host, forms of angels and archangels fallen, mingled up with terrible mythological shapes, mummy forms of an abnormal life, disgusting abortions of races, all blasted by the angry bolts of a sover eign God, and tumbled down from infinite heights, a charred and horrid mass of indistinguishable ruin. About noon we reached the Hermi tage, a halting place, with a little chapel where one may say prayers and com mend himself to the Virgin before en countering further dangers. Here we take our simple lunch of sandwiches and oranges, get a fine view of the country beneath, then proceed on our route. A few minutes led as past the " Meteorological Observatory," where, since 1844, have been kept careful re cords of changes and temperature and pressure preceding and subsequent to eruptions, earthquake shocks, &c.— Presently the guide says: "This is the stream of January last." It is entirely different from the field of 1858 and 1859, being a mass of friable, angular frag ments, rather than a molten stream stiffened by cooling. Soon the route lies directly over this mass (it having entirely destroyed the old bridle path) on a rough, narrow walk, just at whose sides the puffs of smoke and steam tell of hot masses still smouldering beneath. Soon the guide tells us, " this is ten days old." And we can well believe it, for the hot air from this trembling mass is now and then driven into our very faces. The last of the route by horses is least difficult, since it lies for the most part in the comparatively smooth and level crater of '79, so that a short time brings us to the foot of the outer cone, where our horses must be left and hard work begins. Up to this point a French lady had accompanied her hus band on horseback. She started to as cend the outer cone, but soon turned back discouraged. Indeed, It may be set down as impracticable for women to climb this cone—the only tolerable means of ascent being in chairs carried upon the backs of these hardy moun taineers. Even to men the climb is a very tedious one, owing to the insecure nature of the footing. The whole mountain side is one mass of sharp, angular rocks, from a cubic inch to two cubic feet in mass, lying loosely at such angles as gravity would allow them to assume. If one choose the larger blocks, which is preferable, extreme caution is nesessary to guard against fails and tumbling a rock upon your next neigh bor behind. If one prefer the finer, the sinking into the yielding mass renders progress very slow and extremely te dious. When we had climbed up about half way a terrible hail storm burst upon us. It was accompanied with sharp lightning and terrific thunder, bursting directly above our heads. I had read much about these storms upon mountain peaks, but this single expe rience at this small elevation was enough t 4 convinee me of their awful ness. The effect of the falling hail upon the mountain was exceedingly curious: the heat of the newly erupted lava melted it as it fell, while the older por tions were clad in a robe of spotless white, standing out in boldest contrast to the other blackened masses. While we were thus shrouded in darkness, 1 tugging and toiling in the face of the pelting storm, the immense valley opening towards Pompeii was one glow ing mass of verdure and of sunshine, bursting upon the eye in a vision of glorious loveliness, almost unearthly in its splendors. Never has it been mine to enjoy a more fitting picture of the contrast bet Ween the storms and black ness of earth and the brightness and glory of the better country. After a climb of two hours and twen ty minutes we reach the base of the in ner cone, the last eight or ten minutes leading over a tractoflavayet smoking, and giving forth in spots puffs of blue and-white vapor. A mountaineer usu ally meets travelers at this point, ready to vend " Lacrymne Christi " (the choice wino produced on this mountain) and eggs. It is a favorite amusement for visitors to cook eggs by the heat of the lave stream. Instead of this some of our party lighted their cigars with canes fired in the red hot mass. Having at tained this height, some of our party were still unsatisfied. Indeed, this feel- Ing is but natural, since very little more of the volcano proper can be seen from this point than from the base of the out er cone. On consultation, our guide re- I fused to accompany us, assuring us it was " very difficult." But what were difficulties toe company who had come with no other purpose than to meet and overcome them?. The gtilde then said, "It is very dangerous I But, as is of ten the case in such clroumstances, this only whetted our desires, and a, passion to look into the Crater itself seemed to seize a,pertiebn of our company. The guide warned and refused to go, but In vain. 1:10 we started, and the guide fol lowed. After a most exhausting clam ber we found ourselves on the very edge of the crater itself, in whose depths we could see the, ashes and stones almost constantly rise and heave. Indeed, so near the edge were , we that we tumbled down large - blooks of lavaltitry the very chasm itself.. One of our party, an en thusiastic naturalist,Was, proceeding, to climb still higher , to, examine whet seemed the chief .Opening, when the guide called out, iniperitively, " Stop!" crossing himself with the sign of (the cross and crying nut" Jegu 'Marla!"

NQ,BSALI ANYWHERE. No beaux! Absolutely no beaux! Well,young ladies, stop and consider, if, after all, you yourselves have not prmiounced the sentence of banish ment. We? we " banish" them? Good gra cious! Is it not for them we have devi sed all this elaboration of adornment? We, indeed Were we not for weeks, 'before we came to these odious moun tains, where men areas scarce asFrench hair-dressers, closetted with our dress makers and milliners to produce these bewitching "suits" long and short, for , morning and evening, out-door and in door wear? Have we not cool dresses and warm dresses; dresses for rain, dresses for sunshine, dresses for neutral weather, with ribbons, gloves, sashes, parasols, bats and fans to " match," to the minutest shade? For whom should we take all that trouble but for the beaux? And how are we responsible for their disgusting absence? Listen ,my dears, for in that which you have just said lies your offence. Can damsels thus arrayed walk in the woods,. olimb the mountains (except in poetry)? Can they take even an ordinary, mild walk, without moral terror of periling their millinery? Must they not, there fore, " ride," morning, afternoon and evening, everywhere, to the delectation of stable-keepers, and the consequent pecuniary depletion of the " beaux ?" These beaux, whose fathers may to rich, but whose sone have yet to fill their individual coffers ; these beaux, who have just so much to expend when they get away for a summer holiday, and who do not desire to pour it all into the pockets of the stable keepers ; these beaux, who can get vastly more fun out of their purses, and make them last longer, with a party of " the fellows"— this is the reason that, with rare excep tions, you have to throw away these ravishing toilettes on your own sex, when you play croquet, or sit on the piazza, dreaming of the "coming man." My dears, he won't come ! He knows too much. He has seen his sister's milliner and mantuamalter bills, and heard the family discussions thereon ; and though he acknolvledges your fas cinations even through all the absurd toggery you are doomed by fashion's slavery to have and to wear, he has yet to make the fortune to enable him to foot his angel's bills. So he runs away from you, discreetly ; runs off fishing, or gunning, with "the fellows," and, wiser than you, comes home brown, hale and hearty for the winter months, Instead of perspiring at your side in tight boots and yellow kids. Do you, begin to understand? Now, my dears, if you have been ushered into the world in a coach and six, till your feet and bands have become paralyzed for want of use, that's your misfortune, not your fault. Because , that necessi tates a rich husband. And as there are very few rich young husbands, you will have to bid good-bye to your girlish ideal, and marry the bald-headed, gouty Mr. Smith, who was born at the same time as your own father. This, my dears, you will have to do, or face your nightmare, single blessedness. I have looked at your playing croquet, without a coat-tail among you ; I have seen you driving yourselves out in your pretty little phaeton's ; and though you put a brave face on it, I know very well what is going on under that gay little sash of yours ; and I think it is a pity that you should have been brought up to so many artificial wants, that your heart must go hungry in life's spring time because of them. My dears, I never lacked beaux at your age. But a walk in the woods, or In the city either, involved no expense to my beaux. I could climb a fence, where there was no gate, or where there was either; I was not afraid of dew, or rain, because my dress was simple. My gifts were not diamonds, but flowers or books. My mother would not have allowed me to ride with gentlemen, had they asked me. When they came to spend an evening, our tray of refreshthents did not involve a " French cook." So you see, my dears, though I had no silk dresses, I had plenty of beaux, and a gay heart; and I enjoyed a sail with an old sun bonnet over my curls, or a moonlight ramble, with a merry party, much better than you do "the German;" and half an hour was sufficient warning for me "to dress" for any kind of a party—in doors or out—because, unlike you, I was not bothered to choose from twenty dresses which to wear; and I will give you leave to ask any of my beaux, who are now grandfathers, if I was not able at that time to settle their accounts! And it is because I had such a good time that I feel vexed that your youth and prettiness should so often go a-begging—through no fault of yours; and you may show this to your mothers, and tell them I say so. FANNY FERN. The Change In Fashions—General State ment—What "Le Beau Monde" Says. The July number of Le Beau Monde discourses the prevailing fashions as follows: "If a lady were asked to express in a couple of words what changes have taken place in the fashions during the past month, she would reply, even if she did not, 'shorter and skimpier.' Crinoline had such a rage, and became so unbounded. that it was only natural to expect a very violent reaction. But nobody could have anticipated such a state of things as now exists. A little more, and a long step will not be a pos sibility. Again, ladies blessed with a profusion of hair, having dressed it in the prevailing style, and having adopt ed the extreme of fashion, present a very unpleasant appearance. Some judgment should be used in these mat ters. "For our parts, we believe the wan of proportion now evident in all the fashions will be compensated by the ab solute introduction of the farthingale itself, and the abandonment of the many shapes of imitation of thatadjunct which the last two months have been Industriously hatching, and which have this month taken something like decis ion of shape. "Assuredly, the hips must be draped n some manner. It is quite impossible that the totally narrow skirt, utterly unrelieved, can prevail. Of the eight figures with which we present our readers this month, scarcely one is plain at the hips. "The hair Is still worn at the summit of the head in Paris, but this style has not been adopted in England by the very beet people. "The short dress ball has had the ef fect of reducing the length of the trains, while, at the same time they are some what filled out behind. "The proper length of an out-door dress is certainly not more than three inches from the ground, while these skirts are now relieved somewhat from their meanness of appearance either by flat-frills—sometimes two, one above the other--ruchlngs or fiat fiuttings. "Of the extraordinary and chaotic shapes of what may be called over skirts, we can scarcely venture to say any thing. They sometimes take the shape of rounded aprons in front, squar ing off into a jacket line behind, the whole completed with long white knot ted ends. Again, a sort of George 111 period, half-square, in the material of the dress, is combined with a half-loose bodice, which is completed with falling ends behind. In other oases, a sort of curtain-diapered skirt in gauze, black or white, is draped over the under-Skirt, swept about the dress, raised behind at the waist, and completed by falling ends, In other cases, from a cuirass° girdle flows a loose drapery of th‘ ma terial of the dress, which, being looped underneath to the waist again afterfall ing a few inches, gives the idea of an antique Grecian bodice, an effect 'en hanced by the sweeping add crossed drapery Sowing over the skirt. "In other cases, to the skirt of the dress is given the exact semblance of a ,petticoat , because the material is-not used at all in the upper-skirt, which is looped up all the way round, while over the back, falli the long bowed ends of a 'Marie Antoinette fichu, word so low over the bodice as to give at' lie upper - line the outline of an evening dress. In ' these cases the whole of theupper-skirt, LANCASTER PA. WEDOSDAY:34OitiNG!

They.are generally trimmed with,epaulets and wristbands in character with the flat trimmings of the skirt. "For evening dress, sometimes the half square of the material of the dress, as it passes over the shoulder, forms the sleeve. In other cases, when the bodice Is cut square in front,. the sleeve is flat and almost angular, while in other cases, actually something like a melon sleeve is to be seen. " Jet is not to be seen, and gold, how ever, is gradually creeping into popu larity." The Apostles' Croat In Prague. While In the market place we will wait for the hour, for here is a curious old clock that ticked four centuries ago, when the Swedes were thundering at the gates of Prague, and when Bohemia , was a great and powerful kingdom, just as it is ticking now. Twenty-four hours —the day and night—are marked upon the dial, instead of twelve, for the clock follows the sun. When night comes the face of the dial becomes black, just as the night is, and when the day ap• i proaches it turns ts great white face out to meet the light. You can tell from it what time the sun rises, and at what hour he will set. Hanusch, the clever fellow who made it, was some thing of an astronomer; but men knew .ie - about the stars in' those days. But the hour has arrived—it is ten o'clock. Watch closely, for the deli cate mechanism is now at work. Out of a small door above the dial comes a skeleton, ghastly and grim. Around its bony neck old Father Time has hung his remorseless scythe. The gaunt figure produces an hour-glass, and turns it to indicate that another hour has gone and that the new has commenced. It then pulls violently a bellrope, precisely as the old sexton in a New England village church would do on a Sabbath morning. At each pull the bell strikes, and the skeleton bows its head in approval. Then out of the mysterious tower comes a miser with a bag of itold. He clenches it tight, for it is evident his time has come, and he hates to leave his wordly goods behind. He walks about and beats the ground with his stick.— There is avarice in his heart and eye— 'a sort of cold relentless grasping after dollars, that no one can mistake. This figure is the masterpiece of the clock. When the skeleton has rang the hour, both it and the miser retire in the tow er. Then a great bronze door opens, and the twelve apostles pass before the Saviour and bow down to him. Far upon the tower their faces look life-like and the scene is impressive. Adelina Pattl-11er Marriage Contract— A Gay and Festive Bridegroom. A Paris correspondent of the New York Times writes as follows . . I have just heard. the particulars of the marriage settlement agreed to be tween the Marquis de Caux and Ade lina Patti, or rather exacted by Baron James Rothschild, as the friend and guardian of the latter. The sum of 500,000 francs, constituting the whole of the Diva's fortune, is to be placed in trust for the benefit of herself and children. The principal is not to be touched under any circumstances whatever, Wile Patti herself only en joying the interest thereof. One-third of her future earnings is to be set aside in the same manner, the remaining two-thirds to be used as her husband and herself may decide. The father and mother of the bride are to have each a pension of 6,000 francs which is to be allocated out of her in come. This provision is honorable to M'lle. Patti, whose sentiments of daugh terly affection have always shown them. selves superior to every other consider ation. The Marquis de Caux asked to have the sum of 450,000 francs set aside for the payment of the mortgagee on his estate, but on this point the Baron de Rothschild and Maurice Strakosch were • - - - - inexorable, so that the property will have to be put up for sale, unless the creditors of the Marquis consent to wait for the chance of repayment from Ade llna's future earnings, a contingency not very probable from the known spendthrift habits of her future hus band. It is calculated that at present Mlle. Patti earns about 400,000 francs a year, which, with prudence, would soon en able the Marquis to pay off his debts. Accustomed, however, to live at a rate far above his income, it is not likely that he will be induced to put such a restraint on his tastes as will enable him to accomplish so desirable a result. It bad been stated that as soon as the mar riage took place the services of Strakoech would be dispensed with. So far is this from being the fact that the Marquis offers a contract to him to continue his services to Mlle Patti for three years, on terms nearly as advantageous as before. You may rely upon the above being the exact conditions of the marriage settle ment. They have been agreed to on both sides, and nothing remains but to complete the marriage itself, which, I understand is to take place on the Ist of August. A Beautiful Incident - A naval officer being at sea in a dread- Ail storm, his lady, who was sitting in the cabin near him, and filled with alarm for the safety of the vessel, was so surprised at his composure and se renity that she cried out— "My dear' are you not afraid? How is it possible you can be calm in such a dreadful storm ?" He rose from his chair, lashed to the deck ; supporting himself by a pillar of the bed place, drew his sword, and, pointed to the breast of his wife, ex• claimed : " Are you not afraid 2" She instantly answered, " No." " Why ?" said the officer. " Because " rejoined the lady, "I know that this sword is in the hands of my husband„ and he loves me too well to hurt me," " Then," said, he, "remember, I know in whom I believe, and that he holds the winds in his lists, and the wa ter in the hollow of his hands." Trouble Enough. A little darkey was recently found sitting on the stoop of a fashionable house not far from Saratoga, crying pitifully. "What's de matter wid you ?" asked a colored woman. "Matter nuff—double trouble all ober de house. Fader am drunk—mudder hab gone home wid cleze—ale broke de looking glass wid de broomstick—de ba by got her eyes full of kyan pepper,and little Ned Antony put de mustard on de bar for goose grease.

A Seven Million Dollar Mortg age and a Seven Thousand Dollar Stamp. ST. Lours, July 28, 1868. There was yesterday entered on the records of St. Louis county, Mo., a mortgage covering, property to the value of $7,000,000, on which was placed a stamp for which $7,000 bad been paid into the national Treasury. The mortgage is executed in favor Drier E. Murdock, James Punnet and Luther C. Clark. It was made by the di rectors of the Missouri Pacific Railroad to secure bonds issued by the company to pay the $5,000,000 purchase money for the road, under the legislative act of last winter, and 1,500,000 of bonds, known as the Dresden bonds, given some time ago for work on that part of the road west 'of Dresden ; and the remainder is to be applied to change the guage of the road so as to oniforin with the Kansas Pacific Railway and place the road in complete and effective working order. The • amount of the purchase money will probably be paid in Missouri State bonds, whit& will reduce' the State debt to that amount. The -bonds ' are to run twenty years, are payable in gold at New York and bear six per cent interest.

I never aspired to the Presidency on account I of myself, I never sought its doubtful hon • or, and certain labors and responsibilities merely for the position.

Lincoln Again A good many of the journals which used to bask in the.court smiles of Mr. Lincoln's administration, and could see no fault in, if they did not really pay adulation to, his wife, were led into the coarsest abuse of their former Idol when she chose to offer for sale a portion of her former wardrobe, and are now out again in full blast because she proposes to visit Europe. It Is insisted that she is going to call upon Queen Victoria, josslbly to pay her a visit, and some of our ournalists are thrown into spasms on ac count of the mortification which she is ex pected to bring upon America by her vul gar airs at foreign courts. We do not pro pose to champion Mrs. Lincoln, but really, as to vulgarity, it seems to an unsophisti cated taste that no coarseness can be greater than that which abuses a lady through the: press because she sees fit to visit Europe, and that lady one who was "loyally" bow ed down to by her present assailants when she was supposed to possess power and patronage. Some of our cotemporaries seem really to be almost in despair about it. They say that Mr. Lincoln had no in fluence over her when be lived, (though at that time her adulators appeared to think she had a good deal over - him,) and that even her own son Robert can't control her, which is undutiful in the extreme in Mrs. Lincoln, and may possibly, In its results, prove a warning to all other parents who disobey their children. In this dilemma Reverdy Johnson, who has courteously acceded to her request to secure passage for her on the same steamer in which he goes to England, is invoked to an immediate exercise of his diplomatic powers by endeavoring to induce her not to thrust herself into European court society. This is a rich idea, and we fancy wo see the venerable ambassador practicing di plomacy on Mrs. Lincoln across the ocean, by way of keeping his hand in for Queen Victoria. Alas, the vicissitudes of human fortune! She, who was the worshipped Presidentess of the last term is not now considered fit to enjoy the privilege of many an American lady abroad of being present ed to royalty. Whether Mrs. Lincoln pro poses to visit Queen Victoria or not we have no means of knowing, though it would seem scarcely probable, unless she were invited, in which case no one can dis- Eute her right to accept the invitation. ven if she be not an elegant and well-bred person, there is no reason to expect, after what has occurred in the past, that Euro pean courts will think less of us from any exhibition Mrs. Lincoln is likely to make. —Baltimore San. Distressing Accident—A Husband Shoots His Wife for a Burglar. From the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, July 19. A distressing accident occurred in this city on the night of Friday last, by which a wife was accidentally shot, and it is feared fatally injured, by a husband. who is driven almost to distraction by this unfortunate occurrence. The parties are Mr. and Mre. John McAvoy, who reside on Second be tween Brunswick and Bladen streets. It seems that the night previous the house im mediately adjoining Mr. MeAvoy's resi dence was robbed. His vigilance was thus aroused in more than an ordinary degree, and on the night of the accident he 'lm agined that he heard someone In the house, and , arousing his wife, he communicated his impression to her. He thought, too, that he distinguished the sound of human voices whispering. Seizing his pistol from the pillow under which it lay, Mr. McAvoy proceeded to the top of the staircase, Aut behind the head of his bedstead, in the at• tempt to discover something further. His wife, whom he left on the couch, had by this time gotten up and after looking around in the dark, approached her hus• band from the other side , of the bed near the staircase where he was standing. See ing the object approaching him, and think ing his wife still in bed, Mr. McAvoy sup-• posed it to be a burglar and crying, "I've got you now," fired His wife fell, crying out 'Oh you have shot me." The pistol was charged with a ball and a few small Shot, which entered the breast of Mrs. Mc- Avoy, and passing through the lungs, lodged just under the skin near the small of the back. Surgical aid was obtained and the ball extracted. The condition of the sigferer is critical and it is feared she will not recover. Attack of Radicals on ft Seymour and Blair fleeting—Three of the agresaore Killed and Several Femme on Both Sides Severely Injured. - - - - - ST. Louts, July 29, 1868. On Saturday the Democrats of Saline and Pettis counties held a Seymour and Blair ratification meeting at Elk Lick. The null cals had threatenedlo break up the meet lug. When Colonel Phillips, a gallant fed eral officer, began to speak the radicals at tacked. the meeting, largely composed of women and children, with clubs and rocks. They were driven off and twice afterwards they renewed the attack. Finally the radi cal leader drew a revolver and shot a Dem ocrat named Cheatham. This was the sig• nal for a general battle. About one hun dred shots were tired in the melee and three. radicals. were killed and seven badly wounded. Several Democrats were also badly wounded, and about twenty on both' aides more or less severely. The radicals were driven to the woods and the meeting broke up in the wildest dismay and con. fusion.

It has just made a' law for the punishment of newt'. paper editors who publish "els.nderona't articles, and as the character of the articles is to be determined by the caprice or prej udice of the functionary before whom com plaint is made, the law willdoubtless prove a convenient tool for crushing out obnox ious newspapers.

The Vie- Its of the Merchant to this house attracted' considerable attention. It was known, how ever, that, the father was generally 'present at the visits of the merchant, and the com munity was generally dividedabout the matter. Riding and walking 'ancoeeded and tho scandal became general One morning the merchant informed his wife that he wasagolnk iNieave—that he was going to sail for California and take the girl with him. Her father, he said, had given his consent and agreed to keep the thing secret till'after his departure. He told her that no.power • could prevent his leaving. If she kept quiet until after he was gone he would 'give her the liaise in which she lived and Vooolin money. If she did not, he would go all the game, but, would leave her penniless. He asked her to fix Mention and 'pack his trunk, and have it ready by Thursday morning, all which she agreed to dp. I He bought a trunk for the girl, and gave her $2OO for her outfit. On Thursday morning he left his Lome. While his band '*as on the .door latch, his wife told him that she should re• main just whore she was and take care of the children, and if at any time he wished to come back, the door would be open to him; He went over to.the house where the 'young woman was In waiting. He gave her father some money, add he accompan ied the parties to the cars.l On the way down the father referred to some expenses he bad incurred in giving his daughter music lessons. The merchant handed him $2OO, which he pronounced satisfactory. After the train had started, the old man told the story of the elopement. When some one remarked to him that the mer chant would desert his datighter as he had hie wife, he said that was, impossible, for he had never seen such love between two persons before. When he wee asked why he did not put a atop to e Step that could only be fraught with misery to all sides,he said that his daughter, when she told him of her intended journey, showed him a bot tle of poison, and said if heopened his head on the matter till after she was gone, she would poison him and herself too. And she would have done it, he said. The sequel to this affair is more than; usual tragical. The parties immediately sailed for Califor nia, and for some reason not explained took the return vessel back to New York. They landed lathe city, where the girl was left at a hotel, penniless. he succeeded In reaching this place, deserted and ruined, and sent immediately for her father, who visited her at the hotel. She agreed to go home with him in the morning. He called for her at the time agreed upon. He found her a corpse. She had committed suicide during the night. In the meantime, the merchant Lad not been heard from after de serting the girl at the hotel. Ten days ago he appeared at the door of his own house. True to her promise, and true to her wo manly love, she threw the doors wide open and bade him welcome. Hidden from the eyes of his neighbors and friends, he re mains in-doors. The community are equal ly divided whether he ought to be tarred and feathered' or forgiven; Negroes at the a:demi . ° Convention Many of the Radicals have found it con venient, since the adjournment of the Con vention at Chicago, which 'nominated Grant and Colfax, to deny that negroes participa ted as delegates from Southern States in its proceedings. To all these who mayhavo put any faith in these denials, we commend a reference to the Cotoredl Citizen, a negro paper, published lir this city, of tne date of the 24th inst. It has a speech made at La fayette Square, New Orleans, on the occa sion of a Grant ratification meeting, by a negro fellow, rejoicing in] the elegant and euphonious name of Hon. P. B. S. Rinch back. This negro in vindicating the Radi cals from the', charge Ithatl they were not the negroes' true friends, said: "And what better evidence can I give you of the intention of our Northern Republi can friends to meet us on! terms of equality than the fact that the colored delegates to that Convention were received with open arms, and treated with a kindness and con sideration that to me was a great and agree able surprise. It is true one member, who I had been told was a little touchy on the nigger question, drew back a little when I was introduced to him, and perhaps's little more,_ when our friend, Graham, was pre sented, but that was an exception ; and the almost universal treatment of us seemed to indicate a desire that we should feelperfect ly free and unconstrained, and to convince us that our color should be no bar to an equal footing in the Convention. • • • • • • • • "The great majority of the American peo ple are now, thank God, upon the side of right and justice, and they will prevail. I telt you, my fellow-citizens, I realized more fully than ever before, when, at Chicago, what had been gained for the colored race in the past lew years, when I saw the re spect with which we were treated ; not be cause of our individual merits, but because we were the representatives of a race. When I saw a colored man, J. H. Harris, invited to address the Convention, can you doubt the sincerity of the Republican party after that." That settles the question whether negroes were received at the Chicago Convention or not. There was no distinction of color in that body. The negro delegates from Louisiana and other Southern States bad the same privileges exactly with the white delegates from Ohio or Pennsylvania.

A Famine in Hyde County—Four Thou. sand Five Hundred People Without !deans of Support, CHARLOTTE, July 25.—The people of Hyde county, hitherto one of the most pro ductive counties of the j State, are at this time suffering greatly from successive dis asters to their crops, so that a considerable portion of the population, unless they re ceive prompt assistance, are said to be in peril of starvation. Ip addition to the losses which, in common with the whole Southern cominunity, they suf fered from the war, nearly their entire crops of last year failed, leaving only a scan ty subsistence of the most common necessa ries of life to tide them , over to the present year, when they looked .o the summer crops to relieve them from actual want. Their expectations have met with a mournful dis appointment in a disaster peculiar to that section, of floods arising from swollen lakes which have submerged a large portion of the county, wholly destroying the wheat, oats, potato, and vegetable crops of this year and so seriously injuring corn as to render cer tain a very large deficiency for another year. Of the whole population, which is 7,000, white and-black, it is represented that not more then one-fourth have means to supply thel rnecessitiai. over one-half of the remaining three-fourths have less than thirty days' provisions, without the maims of procuring more. Hyde county, which is the scene of this dismal calamity, has never before it Is understood, even after the impoverishments of the war, asked aid from the Government, or from other com munities or from individuals, but has cheerfully contributed of her slender means to the relief of others. r A Dog On Ws Tr s— to avelFrom Kentucky Illsiourt, (From the Louisville Journal, July 17.) Not long since Mrs. 8., residing in oneof the interior counties of Missouri, left her home on a visit to some relatives living in Henry county, in this State, bringing with her a favorite dog. On arriving in this clty she missed her pet, and search and inquiry failing to elicit aught concerning him, she was compelled to continue bed o u rney with out him; Fourteen days after the lady bad left her home the family were surprised at the reappearance of "Fido," whom they thought worrying the pigs or "baying the moon" lo Kentuoliy. Not less than nine hundred Miles had been traversed by hie dogship, And when ,it is remembered that he had been brought hither by rail, and could have bad no trail td lead hita beck to his old quarters; that the broad Ohio and the still broader Missituilppi, not to mention hundreds of streams of smaller proportions, lay between him and his pup pyhood's home, theiourney was a remark able one.

The contract for supplying the internal revenue offices throughout the United States with stationary for the ensuing year has been awarded to Estel 4: Smith, of New York. Five Alabama negroes, of the church going sort, caught the pastor of a rival con gregation, a few nights since, flogged him. robbed him of his cash and watch, and warned him to 'env° the country. A gentleman in Albany was arrested on Thursday for following a lady on the street. He claimed that a mau had a right to ad mire a lady, let he meet her where he might. The court and the lady herself agreed to this, and the gentleman was dis charged. Judge Jerry Black lain Washington, and though his choice for the nomination for the Presidency was not accepted, he says he proposes to support the ticket, and ex presses great confidence in its strength be fore the country upon the Important polit ical issues presented to the people. He puts Pennsylvania down for twenty-five thous and Democratic majority. Two negroea near Fort Smith concluded, a few days ago, to hang one of their colored brethern against whom they had a spite. They toolk him to a tree, but, like Zaohous of old, he went up into the branches quick as a coon. They brought him down and gave him fifty lushes. One of them was arrested and put in jail. The Seymour and Blair cam paign banner for the Metropolitan Democratic Club of New 'York is the largest ever made in this country. It is fifty feet king and thirty feet wide, and when raised to its place in front of the rooms of the club on Union Square will 1111 up Fourteenth street from curb to curb. The portraits of Seymour and Blair are made from actual photographs, and al though six times as large as life, are very correct. Across the top of the banner is painted, in large colored letters two feet high, the name of the club.
