County Democratic Convention, on Wednesday last, instructing our delegates to the Stato Convention to vote for General Hancock as the Dem ocratic candidate for Governor of Penn sylvania, has given expression to the feeling not only of the Democracy of this county, but of that of the whole State, of whom he is unques tionably the 1, first choice for Governor. The action of our Convention is uni versally approved and endorsed by the Democratic newspapers of the State and if GeneTal Hancock does not ab solutely and positively refuse the nom ination, it will be tendered to him with great uuaminity. That lie’will ho refuse, wo do not believe. It is true that he is not a candidate for the nomination and does not desire it; his position as Major General in the regular army for life, is one for which in a pecuniary point of view, the Governorship of Pennsylvania for three years would be no adequate exchange. Hut there are other than pecuniary considerations to be taken into the account. The position of an officer in the army in time of peace, is Hcarc-Iy one to.satisfy the am bition of a man of intellect and capaci ty who believes that life is real ami earn est, who il' sires to make his mark in the world and to have the* satisfaction of knowing when lie leaves it that lie has left his impress on it and that it lias | been the better for his having existed. ; The soldier only I'uHilla his mission in time of war; in the Imrraek life of peace lie wu-des his energies and wither* his powers. When war i.t over, it is well for the aide soldier who has more than tliis one talent eonmiittud to Ids keeping, to change his sword into u ploughshare and turn his attention to the arts of peace; knowing that If ever 1 the doors of the temple of.luius are again opened, there will he abundant demand for his skilled services In bln former sphere of duly.

Chairman Corofie. John Covode has been appointed Chairman of the Radical State Central Committee. He is a specimen of the kind of men which “the party with all the intelligence and all the morality” seems frequently to delight in honoring. He spells the name of the Creator with a small g and two d’s—thus— godd. When Banks was elected Speaker he sent the following telegram from Wash ington—“ Glory to godd Banks are elected,” In a late stump speech he replied to some accusations by crying ou t_“the allegation is false and the aligalor knows it.” He lately advised a fellow Radical member of Congress as follows: "Git up a committee and in* wcstigalc something—l made my repu tation by inivestigation. 11 Being angered at Geary, because be showed some little reluctance in aidingJiim In his efforts to oust General Foster, who beat him fairly at the last Congressional election, Covode said : “ Geary is the humbug gedast Governor Pennsylvania ever had,” It seems that Covode and Geary have become friends again however. The manner in which this was brought about is well known. Geary did not dare to proclaim Covode elected, but he wrote a private letter to SecretarylMcPherson Indorsing “honest John,” to which he appended the broad seal of the Common* wealth. This document John Cessna claimed should be considered as “a supplementary proclamation,” but the more honest Republican members of the Committee laughed at the idea of Geary’s attempt to bolster up the rotten cause of Covode by appending to a private letter the seal of Pennsylvania. Covode Is thoroughly corrupt. He stickles at no rascality, and haß been guilty of employing the most desplca blu means to ensure his return to Con gross. He induced one of ills hired tools to perjure himself in order that ho might have a show for contesting the election of Hon. Henry D. Foster, who defeated him fairly in spite of all his money and his rascality. Geary despairs qf being honestly re-elected, and he has chosen the boorish anil knavish Covode lo cheat for him. That won’t save him, however. The thousands of decent He publicans who are already much dis- Hiaislled, will bo thoroughly disgusted with the appointment of Covode to the Cliairmanshipof the Slate Central Com mittee. This selection must damn both Geary and Williams In the estimation of all decent men. A Small Contributor Liberal!; Kewimlcil. There has boon most dillgont search made by Interested Republicans lo ns* curtain how much Robeson, tliu now Secretary of the Navy, contributed to ward the great Presidential Gift Filler- j prise. That he bad done more than . present Grant with a pair of hoots, a box of cigars, u demijohn of whiskey, ora pointer pup was considered cer tain, but the littleness of his gift, when tliu amount of it was ascertained, took everybody by surprise. He merely con tributed irduu towurd the purchase of Grant’s House in Philadelphia. Home considerable wonder nt his appointment was thuiefuiv expressed, but It all sub sided when it was deilnitely ascertained that Doric was given tin* privilege of naming his Mieceasor. .Mr. Doric’s re tirement Jh now said Lo be owing to the fact that lie recently met with two seri ous mishaps in his attempts to discharge tiie duties of his otliee. At the Graud Naval Ball, at Annapolis, he was up tripped while dancing and Jaid sprawl ing upon his back, amid the Littering of the ladies anil the unrestrained guf faws of the Middies. A few days after ward lie got terribly seasick when out on a short excursion trip on the prac tice vessel. Here again he wus made to appear ridiculous. The result was that lie begged Grant to pcrmit.him to resign and to name his successor. Graut complied with his request, and liobo sou went into office. It is understood that Dorie is to be allowed to perfect his rechriateniug of the Navy. A >'nv Executive .Mansion, Grant is not satisfied with the "White House. It is not grand enough for an imperial tanner, lie favors the build ing of a new and more magnificent mansion. The Washington correspon dent of the Cincinnati iiazette says : “Thu President and members of tho cab inet have boon looking oyer tho ground to lind u situ for a new Lxeeutivo Mansion which ran he recommended to'Congress, and are understood to bo substantially agreed upon a location in the northwostern part ot the city." We know of several parties out in that section wli,o have been holding fine building sited for years past with tho expectation of being able to sell them lo the Government ut huge figures. It would be well for Congress to ascertain how Grant comes to have decided upon any given location. He is so fond of receiving presents that ho might tuke a bonus from some ono having u nlto to soli for a now Kxeeutlvu Mansion. Thu President who appoints men to his cab inet and oilier high positions for which they aro unfit, simply because they have given hliu houses and money, will boar watching. tuvoile’s Opinion of tho Campalgu. “ Alligator" C'ovode had an inter view with Grant theothor day, Inwhleh liu gave Ulysses his Ideas upon the prospect of the Radical party in the pending Gubernatorial campaign. Cur tin and Cameron had both told the President that deary would be defeated, if nominated, and Grant asked Covodo what ho thought of it. " Well,” said tho old ignoramus who spells tho name of the (Toutor with a little g and twods: '• Tlioiv’h n heap of trnublo. Youhoo, in the f *ii hi place, (ionenil, your appointments didn't Mill our people.

Tho Radical ma chine in IVmis} Ivania is so deeply >itiek in tho mire of eonuption that it be pulled out. The team is stalled, and not u few of the party bucks are balking badly. Covodo may curse and pray, and pray and curse, alternate ly, as lie is in the habit of doing, but. be “ can't can't/ nothin:/,'' and ‘ th<' alii tjaior knows it." Judge Black. 1 ntelligence received at Wheatland of ille condition of Judge Black’s health, has been kindly imparted to us, for the benefit of the numerous friends of the Judge in this vicinity, who will be de lighted to have these good tidings of bis certain convalescence. He writes through his amanuensis ns follows: “ My recovery is progressing somewhat slowly, but it is believed to be certain. I am now able to walk about the room and tho halls of the building. Once or twice I have sat out upon the verandah for a little while at a time. But I can not travel in much less than three weeks to come;” Mrs. Black and his son Chauncey are with the Judgo at Louisville. Day by day theliadicals are showing their disgust with Grant more openly. The more independent organs of the parly denounce him and pronounce his administration to be a failure. The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser calls him a spoiled child and urges that he be soundlyhspanked. After taking those Republican papers which still praise Grant to task, it says: General Grant has been acting like a spoiled child, and a general application of birch would bo likely to have a powerful effect upon him. We advise the special friends of the General who are acting very much us superannuated grandmas and grandpas do with n pet grandchild, to re member the ancient adage-, “ Kpare tpo rod and spoil the child.” Ths Radicals of Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania intend to administer to Grant a sound switching next October. They have a rod in pickle for the spoiled child. Chinese Emigration. The walliDg in of the Chinese Empire not onlylprevented the incursions of out sidebarbarians, but it seems also to have had the effect of effedtually keeping th e native population from roving abroad. For centuries the race quietly remain ed at home and kept on increasing un til that part of Eastern Asia iB the most! populous section of the globe. The art j of cheap living was developed with the increase of numbers, until it came to j pass that a whole family of a dozen | Chinese could somehow manage to live ; and keep fat on what would not fur nish sustenance to a half grown Ameri can tfoy. With a few pence a day the Chinese householder makes both endß meet, and has something left to spend upon lanterns, fire-crackers, joss-paper, processions, theatres, gambling and other sources of devotion and amuse ment. The old wall is decaying since it has ceased to be needed, and the rude junks, fishing boats and bamboo raftß have dwindled into insignificance be fore the huge hulks of iron steamers and the oak-ribbed ships of Europe and America, whichnow crowd the wharves of the chief cities of the Celestial Em pire. Not only has the exclusiveness of China been so much broken in upon, that thousands of foreigners have made their homes there, but the adventurous Yankee Burlingame has become a sort of roving prime minister to the Su preme Ruler of the followers of Confu cius. While Burlingame is junketing about, with his pig tailed mandarins, at all the courts of the civlvllized world multitudes of tho lower orders of the race are finding apermanentsettlement upon our shores. Chinese laborers built tho Pacific Railroad, and in California they are fust filling up all subordinate positions In the cities, and taking their places in woolen, paper, and powder mills; in the borax works, in hop plan tations, In fruitoreliurils and vineyards; folluwlngtho reaping machines on farms and working tho salt pits on tho coasts; doing almost universally the cooking and engaging in hundreds of branches of Industry that would be almost im possible without their cheap labor. These peoplo are already coming In large numbers, but we are only begin ning to fed tho first faint ripple of the vast wave which will speedily be rolled upon our western coast by the Pacific Oeouu, to bo distributed thence by the completed and projected railroads all over the United States. The planters of tho .South, disgusted with negroes that leave their work to follow the ranting carpet-baggers who are busy all the year round preaching politics to crowds of gaping blacks, are looking to tins new source for an ahun duntHUpply of dump and reliable labor, Tho ChlmjHo maintain their Innate on orgy beneath tho most troplealsun,and they are already familiar with the cul ture of cotton, rice, tobacco, Hugur and other staples of tho Houth. No where In tho world Is ugrlculturo esteemed so-honorablo as it is In China, and nowhere has it been brought to such perfection. Labor is so extremely cheap thut horses and other draught animals are blit little used, nearly all the work being done with llie spado and the lino. All the productions of the South are ■ already familiar to the Chi nose, aud they j would prove to be far bettor field hands I than the free negroes. Let the tide ofj emigration once fairly set in from the shores of Asia to the rollon and rice ! fields of the South, and the fate nf the | Afrii.au in this eounlry will bo sealed, j They would have to contend with a foe 1 as deadly to them as advancing civili zation has proved tobetotheAborigines who are ho rapidly dying out ns the white man marches westward across the Continent. We must raise cottou not only to meet our own wants at home, but to restore the balance of trade with Europe, which is now so much ■ against us that it drains the country of the precious metals aud carries a vast proportion of our government bonds abroad. And we must not ouly have cheap cottou, but the rice swamps of the South must be agaiu made produc tive, and our sugar plantations be re stored to their former condition and ex tended and improved. All this work i the Chinese will do better aud more ! cheaply than the negro freedmen, They 1 will build levees along the MisM.-sippi, ! such as they have to restrain the over flow of their own turbulent Yellow | River, aud will make the rich lowlands I of the South even more valuable and , more productive than they were under ! the old system of slavery. | Already acurgoof Chinese, discharged hands of the Pacific Railroad have been : taken down the Mississippi, and more ! are coming. A convention is to be held I in Memphis on the iMh of this month [ for tho special purpose of eucouruging I Chinese emigration, it will be largely attended by planters from the Southern | States, and Koopmanshaaf, one nf tho principal Chinese contractors ul Ban Francisco, who bus already brought fifty thousand of his countrymen to America will be present, and will tin. fold hU plans for organizing a mighty scheme of direct emigration to the South, The ovent promises to he one of historical importance. This new tide of emigration may need to be controlled by legislation. 'Wecan scarcely be expected to look with com placency at the Idea of having the com ing mass of semi-barbarous Asiatics ’ incorporated among nurvoters. It tuny raise anew the prejudice of race, and lead to a restriction of tboelectlve frail chlsc. That is a matter wo can control if wo choose to do ho. The truth is that the elective franchise is not a natural right, hut ouly a privilege to ho con ferred or withheld as may bo doomed best for the State. We must have cheap labor, but there is no necessity for mak lng suffrage universal, aud wo believe that tho present movement in that di rection will shortly be followed by a re vulsion of feeling which may lead to the opposite exi re:no. The Philadelphia .Nominations;. The nominations made by the De mocracy of Pniladelphm are, with two or three exceptions on tho Legislative ticket, u u exception able and highly creditable. Sain.

Dozens of clergymen in Penn public discussion of the political ques- sylvania went stark mad during the tionsof the day, but declined to war, and took to preaching all sorts of accept, heresies instead of the Gospel of Christ. Ueary Judicially Declared to be aSotorl oils Liar. TheleadlDg men of Geary’s own party brand him as a liar. This they have done, not in private conversation alone, but publicly, in the newspapers, and in communications over their own signa tures* Such evidence would be sufficient to convict him in any Court of Justice, i When a man has been judicially branded as a liar he is considered to be infamous, and he can never efface the damning stamp which is thus set upon him. That is the status of the Radical nominee for Governor of the great of Penn sylvania. Not only has he been de nounced as a liar by the public men of his own party, but the charge has been fastened upon him by a Court of Jus tice. Bo inveterate is his habit of lying, that, when he wished to raise a simple I question oflaw in regard to the pardon* ing power, which he has so grossly abused, he packed his message full of slanders upon tho Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia. Thereupon the Court, three members of which are dis tinguished Republicans, delivered a formal and unanimousopinion, through its President, Judge Allison, as follows: We feel that we have additional cause of J complaint in the fact that the Governor has 1 stated the case as he knew it to exist, in ; that he omitted all mention of that which was most mulerinl; mat upon which the j whole question hinges, aud without which it is not pretended, nor bus it over been claimed, that the power to reduce a sen tence after term could be exercised. That which the Governor docs not state, although fully advised of its existence, is the fact that in every case in which sentence was recon sidered, a rulo to show cause was entered at the term, and that the question being left open and undetermined, was curried over, to bo iinally disposed of at n subse quent day. Having this information in his posses sion long before his messngo was sent to tho Legislature, it was wanting in candor to the J udges whose action in this irregular way was brought in question ; it was want ing in fairness to the Legislature, to which he professed to give information, to with -1 hold a statement so essential to a full and satisfactory understanding of tho subject of which ho professed to treat, beeuuse It was not only keeping back a fact that ought to have been made known, but the fact most malarial of all others to the ennnlderullon of tho question mooted in this part of his annual message.— f.c'jul InldU<jnu'ci\ Jan wary 31, lWs. Thus wum Geary Judicially branded as a liar aud n slanderer. 1 lo is not believed by any of those who know him. His lies in relation to his military exploits are ridiculously absurd.

The f'rops From all parts of the country the most favorable accounts of the grain crops are received, The country is blessed with a lnirv'“.-'t such as was never before gathered. We will not only have all we can use, but there will bo a large surplus. There is still on hand a large amount of last years crop of wheat, and, low as prices now ure, they promise to decliue still iurther. Thu consumers will hear this with pleasure, but the farmers will not be rejoiced at this pros pect. Many in Lancaster county’ are still holding last year’s crop in hope of an advance. Wo nro of the oplniou that they will wait in vain for a rise in the grain market. There is such a surplus of this iudispensibio commodity on hand that prices must rule low for at least a year to come. Kino Southern wheat, of the new crop, is now selling at sl.oU ; lower tliau it has been for years. The breaking up of the old system of labor lias ltd to the growing of wheat on much land whicli would have been planted in cottou if tho blacks had not become de moralized by freedom. The South now not only rau-es its own food, but has en tered into successful competition with the grain growing sections of the North. The flush times of our farmers is over, and they will have to bo content with greatly diminished profits. Forncj’s Thieving. Forney has stolen many thousands of dollars eiuce he joined the Radical par ty. He wentover for that very purpose, and he has let no chance slip through his fingers. While he was Secretary of the Senate he had a chance which lie improved to the best of his well trained abilities. His Washington newspaper has been a plundering concern from the beginning. It ban been kept uliveon tho stealings which its proprietor pick* ed up. The Washington correspondent of tho Now ’fork Tribune says.

For instance, if a Post-Commandant in Texas or Washington Territory should ad vertise in a local paper a sale of condemned mtiios, or ol old lumber, or propoynls for beef and hay, they would tube- the same from the local paper, prim it here In 'lhe C’//roufc/c\uiiii charge n gu(ar advertisement rates to the ' SuveTurnout. This is In direct violatlou of the Act ol Congress passed at the luHtHossiou, ami previous simifarchiimH have been ho declared. Heretofore there lias been a way ofev»dlng the law by having tho Secretary ol' War issue special orders for the pay meat of such claims, but iti the present case Secretary Rawlins refuses to grunt f-uch an order, aud says ke is deter mined to break up the swindle, and by his pj-npi sod new system of advertising save thousands of dollars to tin* Government.. If Secretary Ruwlina prevents For ney from stealing, he will deserve the thauka of all honest men, and the tax payers of the country will accord him deserved praise. ({rant On Another Excursion Who Robeson Is. That staunch Republican journal, the New York Sun, says : The nomination of Robeson for Secretary of the Navy is intrinsically an outrage and a scandal. Aside from the ridiculous unfit ness of the man, and his total want of the eminence and prestige which should char acterize the nominee to such an important national position, this man Robeson is tainted all over with the corrupt odor of a low intrigue, by which the will and the j welfare of the party were defeated in ISG7, in the substitution of F. T. as Senator instead of George T. Cobb. ; The particulars and the evidence ou this point will all be ready for the Senate next winter. If they are ready-to sanction, by confirming Robeson, the corrupt bargain I by which bo obtained the office from which ! he has now been translated by Gen. Grant, I they must take the responsibility. ! Perhaps Gen. Grant can tell us why Mr. I Cobb himself was overlooked, after being ' recommended for a Cabinet position by the i whole party in the Legislature and almost I the whole party outside—a man of whose | eminent fitness for a Cabinet portfolio no : one affects a doubt.

Arrest of h Det'unUer. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia I'osl says • Some days since it was announced iu this correspondence that the Treasury Depart ment was anticipating the arrest of tho clerk (Bogart) who stole $40,000 from Pay master Clark at Now York. Much credit is u warded Paymaster Clark for the shrewd ness exhibited in the mode adopted to as certain the whereabouts of Bogart, who left for Europe Immediately after roitbiug ihe paymaster’s strong box. Bogart was soou followed by his family, who quietly left New York for Europe,Taking with them u servant girl. This giri had a cousin resid ing in Brooklyn, and in the same house wus another girl, with whom this cousin was intimate. Paymaster Clark secured the assistance of this girl who, availing herself of a favorable opportunity, open ed the cousins trunk nud examin ed hor correspondence. Letters from Bogart’s servant girl were found an nouncing to her Brooklyn cousin the fact that Mr. B. aud family were residing at Houston, Texas, and doing a tine busiuess with a large store. Ho had established there. Tho secret was out, and Paymaster Clark, in company with an experienced Treasury detective, left here ten days ago for Houston. Thejtelegraph has since an nounced the success of the parties in arrest ing Bogart and getting possession of his etlects. Prize Flgtat in New Jersey—A Brutal Ex hibition—A Sian’s Arm Broken Twice.

Sorenatle to Ex-President Johnson—En« thnslnsm anti A ppinnso—speech or Mr. Johnson. Washington, July I.—A largo crowd assembled before the Metropolitan Hotel to-night on the occasion of a serenade to ex • President Johnson. The band having play ed a tune, Mr. Johnson appeared on the balcony, and was received with applause. John E. Norris, of Washington, intro duced him as having been known for many years as the grtat champion of the Democ racy of the United States, and as having fought many a battle and won many a vie- | tory in behalf of constitutional freedom. Mr. Johnson then climbed over a rail and f took his stand near the reporters’ table on 1 the balcony. , He was ugain greeted with applause, and said: It was not his purpose to make a speech, but merely to tender his thanks, bis heartfeitthanks. for this cordial welcome on his return to Washington. It was not necessary for him, on this occasion, to re capitulate or rehearse the arguments he heretofore made in behalf of the people and in behalf of those great principles which should be maintained and preserved by those calling themselves free, patriotic and intelligent. In taking the stand he did, he believed he was doing his duty. [Applause.] ! He had tried to act on principle ana in vin dication of principle. He had collected facts and arguments which, in times gone by, I were considered unanswerable and irresisti- j ble. They had been presented for the con* j sideration of Congress and the country, but ' it appeared they did not avail much during ! the time be bad presented them. However, I in his politics as in his religion, when his I facts gave out and bis reasons tailed him, he drew pretty largely on his faith, and his faith was yet strong und unbroken. The time would come, and that ere loDg, when the American people will be aroused to the importance and high sense of preserving the great principles which have been over slaughed and trampled under foot so long He would say, let us have faith. He be lieved a gleam of the morning of redemp tion could now be seen. He thought the time was coming when the constitution of our fathers would bo restored. It was not necessary for htm to call the attention of this intelligent audience to the struggles and contests transpiring within the last lour years. It was not necessary for him to point their attention to the judi cial department of the government to show that tinder the domination of an usurping Congress ovon thejudieiurv of the country was mado to quail and shrink before it. [Applause.] It was not necessary to turn attention to the other end of the avenue, [cries of “ hear,” “ hear,"] nor was it necessary to do moro limn to point to the tyrannical body culled Congress, which attempted to absorb every single power of the I’resldent. lie had called them tyrants, standing with llm mulled heel of power on Iho necks of the freemen of the United .Stales, endeav oring to b!ni‘out the lines* which separated 100 Slabs, and to wipe out the other two co-ordinate branches of the government, and in this Congr. stood omnipotent.

It has been stated in a pata-r that in acoti verHalion be had remarked lo somebody tbul no nation bad ever vet paid u national debt created in war except by repudiation. !f l suited a fact is there any harm in it?

[Laughter.] Hut when you go lo this Congress, so conscious were they of the great frauds practiced in various atrocious ways, they' came forward and proposed to repudiate one-third of the debt. It is nomi nated in the bom] lo pay six per cent., and yet Congress, in the face of thesoiemn con trad, proposed to reduce it to fi, •! and 3 per cent. lltU this interest is to be paid in gold and silver, Goto the Dopartnu ill—a man comes in with coupons, and at 011.0 counter gels gold and silver fur them; anolhei man comes in and goes lo tho other counter with claims for some widow or orphans of him who fell in the country's cause, who was burk'd with no winding sheet around Ids body hut thu blanket Ninliicd with his blood, and lo this man acting lor thu widow or orphans is handed depreciated paper, while llio bond holder receives gold and silver.

Tho war oommoneed and was waged on our part, as was solemnly deeloredin Congress, for tho purpose of preserving the Union and restoring tho Stales to their proper reliulons. The rebellion progressed, und what was thu ell'eel? There was an Institution In the South to which there was great prejudice.

Nothing Xcw. The fact that every one of the cadets at large lately appointed by the President to the West Point Academy is the son of un offleer, or orphan child of a father lallen in the Into civil strife, is.'proeluiraed by the Now York Tribune as “another gratifying illus tration of the genuine regard which the ad ministration displays towards the soldiers in the.varf’. That journal seems to be igno rant of a rule which has governed appoint ments of both cadets and midshipmen for half a century at least, giving the preference to sons and grandsons of ofßcers in tho rev olution and In tho last war with England. Whatever the justice and propriety of the principle, the merit of it is of much older date than this administration. Dedication of t&o Gettysburg Monnmeni GETTYSBURG, July 1.

Carter, then sang the chorus of “ Ones More iho Spot,” from the cantata of Esther, with an additional stanza written by the leader for the present occasion. Major General George G. Meade then addressed the poople. He was greeted by tremendous applause. He said that six years ago ho stood here uuder very differ ent circumstances, when battle raged around the vicinity. Four years ago be had been here at the dedication of the ceme tery, and he appeared for the third time, by request, to say a few words before the un veiling of the statue. Ho appeared with mingled feelings of joy and regret; joy at our victory, regret for tho many gullant men who fell. As he now rode over the field he saw’ among the vostiges of the great battle the trenches In which tho rebol dead were buri ed. He hoped his voice would be heard when he urged the government to bury in one pluce the decayed remains, the bones, the decayed boards, and every vestige of the rebel d> ad, so that it might nay: “ Hero lie the bodies of those who fought in a cause over which we were victorious. Misguided men ! may their souls rest in peace !” At the conclusion of General Meade's speech the statue was unveilo amid much enthusiasm, aud a s-dulo of eighteen guns.

Brown, u Baptist minister, near Parle, Illinois, lias become insane and is subject to the most remurkublo freaks, His first freak wus the collection of two largo piles of rocks, about twentj’-fivo feet apart, which ho called his butteries; he threatened to kill everybody who chaiie“d to come that way. He gave his brother the password, with which ho could puss the “batteries.'' Tho puosword to the eastern battery was, “Aut 1 a soldier of the cross?" Tho password to the western was, “Atnaz ing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me !" liis brother passed the eastern work ol tho battery, but the mad man stc-rnly commanded that be should not approach any closer, at the same lime rais ing a large stone in menacing aUitudo. Ho retreated hastily. Subsequently he entered the fortress again, and escaped with u slight bruise by coming in contact with a missile hurled Irom the eastern battery. By this time there was a large crowd stutinm-d at u distauco devising plans for compelling the rovoreml madman to evacuate his works. At last it was agreed that several should take very small stones aud throw close around him, in order to get him to throw all his missiles at them, and they could capture him without danger. They threw at him for some time before ho pretended to notice them, but at last lie began throw ing at them as fast us he could. When the eastern “battery” was completely exhaust ed ho turned toward the western, but, to his intense surprise, that “ battery ” had vanished, lie was now completely unarm ed, and ho began to advance toward Ids brother, crying llml ho would surrender himself. Just lit this moment sntiio of tho party, wholmd been slightly bruised by the stones, lot liy a volume ut him, when lie fell heavily to the earth, having been hit and hurt cmsiderablv.

Seven colored men are fatally wounded. SECOND DISPATCH. Richmond, July 2.—The colored conser vative barbecue, which was ended by an accident, was attended by about three hun dred colored men and a largo number of whites. The large crowd had congregated nt.the gate of the bridge leading to the is land. Being kept oil the bridge by tbe police, Col.

This spread consternation through the men on shore, and at übout 12:30 a boat was dispatched to the Chase to bring off the men and povisions. They got everything safely on board, and as they wore return ing to the shore the cutter discharged eight shots after them none of which took effect. Tho cutter’s boats then took possession of tho Chase and hauled her alongside, and thus matters stood up to the last account we received. The two schooners, on board which the ammunition and guns intended for the ex pedition wero stored, are reported to hnvo been captured by a United States revenue cutter sent out from New London, Conn. When the marshal went on board and soarched the vessel ho found uothing but a small case of ritles uml a small amount of ammunition. There wus nobody on board but a captain and a crew consisting of two or three men. What became of the stores is not known. Gen. Goicouria, who was arrested on board the steamer Catharine Whiting, is still under arrest in Ludlow street jail. He represents to the authorities that lie was on bis way to Galveston with a load of hay, and the condition of the vessel and her clearance papers corroborate bis story. At the time of bis capture lie was acting as purser. Under these circumstances lie refuses to give bail, and says then* Is no cause for his detention ; this the courts will decide in a few days.

The new Jersey Central railroad track was sweetened with molasses n low days ago a distance of about forty-one miles. The passenger traiu was detained several hours in consequence. It appears that a froight Iruin preceding it was loaded with several hogsheads of molasses, ouo of which sprung a leak, the syrup issuing therefrom in sufficient quantities to cover the track. The passenger train proceeded a number of miles, though at considerable disadvantage, bofore the fact was discovered. After making a close inspection one of the railroad men noticed the mucilaginous substance. Addi tional steam wus generated, the engine put to its utmost capacity anu the services of men brought into requisition, but the diffi culties increased with each successive rev olution of tho wheels. Seeing the impossi bility of making any practical headway an engine of immeD.se proportions was attach ed to the train. The combined efforts of both were insufficient to make reasonable time. To insure ordinary speed it was found necessary to divide the train into sections. Successful Experiment* with n tlylutf machine.

Th&orgla in this caso is a girl of sixteen years, named Ann J. Hawkins. Sho is unusually lurgo for one of her age, and is as well developed as a full grown woman.

Although sho is of a restless disposition, there is nothing about hor appearance that would lead any one to suspoct that she had performed such n loul deed as that of at tempting to destroy tho llvfcs of six persons that sho might gratify a hatred she had for hor employer.
