A very large and enthusiastic Mass

The frequent out-breaks of applause aud
the hearty cheers that greeted the speakers

and the determined purpose evinced to
stand by the principles of the grand old
old party that carried the republic through
the past long years of war, augur the
brightest prospects for the coming cam

The demonstration was one that filled
the heart of every loyal man present with
hope and good cheer. Bradford will do
her duty, "her whole duty, this fall.
Gen. HAMILTON w y as present, but, owing
to a severe illness, was unable to address
the meeting, to the very great disappoint
ment of all present, who had come togeth

loyal Unior southern men, of whom he is
so true and noble a type. He promised,
however, before the cauva ss is over, his
health becoming better, to address the peo
ple of this county.
At a late hour the meeting disp- rsed
with cheers for Gen. GEARY. It was an
occasion to he well remembered by all
present.

The following telegram received 6 P. M.,
Aug. 2, iB6O, from New-Orleans, La., Aug.
2. 1860 :
U. S. Grant, General, Washington, It. O. :
The more information I obtain of the riot
in this city the more revolting it becomes.
It was no riot. It was an absolute massa
cre by the police, which was not excelled
in murderous cruelty by that of Fort Pillow.
It was a murder which the Mayor and Po
lice of the city perpetrated without the
shadow of a necessity. Furthermore, I be
lieve it was premeditated, and every indi
cation points to this. I recommend the re
moving of this bad man, I believe it would
be hailed with the sincerest gratification
by two-thirds of the population of the city.
There has been a feeling of insecurity on
the part of the people here in account of
this man, which is now so much increased
that the safety of life and property does
not rest with the civil authorities but the
military.

The following cypher telegram received
4:30 P, M., Aug. 0, 1866,fr0m New-Orleans,
La., 12 M., Aug. 6, 1866:
His Excellency Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States:
I have the honor to make the following
reply to your dispatch of Aug. 4. A very
large number of the colored people march
ed in procession on Friday night, July 27,
and were addressed from the steps of the
City Hall by Dr. Dostie, Ex Gov. Hahn and
others. The speech of Dostie was intem
perate in language and sentiment. The
speeches of the others,so far as I can learn,
were characterized by moderation. I have
not given you the words of Dostie's speech,
as the version published was denied, but
from what I have learned of the man, I be
lieve they were intemperate. The Conven
tion assembled at 12 M. on the 30th, the
timid members absenting themselves be
cause the one of the general public was
ominous of trouble. 1 think there were
but about twenty-six members present.
In front of the Mechanics' Institute, where
the meeting was held, there was assem
bled some colored men, women and chil
dren, perhaps eighteen or twenty and in
the Institute a number of colored meu prob
ably 150. Among those outside and in
side there might have been a pistol in the
procession of every tenth man. About 1
P. M. a procession of, say from GO to 130,
colored men marched up Burgundy-street
and crossed Canal-street towards the Con
vention, carrying an American flag. These
men has about one pistol to every ten men,
and canes and clubs ia addition. While
crossing Canal-staet a row occurred. There
were many spectators on the streets, and
their manner and tone toward the process
ion unfriendly. A shot was fired, by whom
I am not able to state, hut believe it to
have been by a policeman, at some colored
man in the procession. On arrival at the
front of the instittute there was some
throwing of brick-bats by both-sides. The
police, who had been held well in hand,
were vigorously marched to the scene of
disorder. The -:procession entered the In
stitute with the flag, about six or eight re
maining outside. A row occurred between
a policeman and one of these colored men,
and a shot was again fired by one of the
parties which led to an indiscriminate fire
on the building through the windows by
the policemen. This had been going on
for a short time, when a white flag was
displayed from the window of the Institute,
whereupon the firing ceased and the po
lice rushed into the building. From the
testimony of wounded men and others who
were inside the building the policemen
opened an indiscriminate fire upon the aud
ience until they had emptied their revolv
ers, when they retired, and those inside
haricaded the doors. The door was broken
in and the firing again commenced, when
many of the colored and white people
either escaped through the door or were
passed out by the policemen inside, hut as
they came out the policemen who formed
the circle nearest the building fired upon
by the citizens that formed the outer circle.
Many of those wounded and taken pris
oners, and others who were prisoners and
not wounded, were fired upon by their cap
tors and by citizens. The wounded were
stabbed while lying on the ground, and
their heads beaten with brick-bats. In the
yard of the building, whither some of the
colored men had escaped and partially se
creted themselves, they were fired upon
and killed or wounded by policemen. Some
men were killed and wounded several
squares from the scene. Members of the
Convention were wounded by the police
men while in their hands as prisoners,some
of them mortally.
The immediate cause of this terrible af
fair was the assembling of this Convention.
The remote cause was the bitter and an
tagonist feeling which has been growing
in this community since the advent of the
present Mayor, who, in the organization of
his police force, selected many desperate
men, and some of them known murderers.
People of clear views were overawed by
want of confidence in the Mayor and fear
of the "Thugs," many of whom he had se
lected for his police force. I have fre
quently been applied to by prominent cit
izens on this subject, and have heard them
express fear and want of confidence in May
or Monroe ever since the intimation of this
last Convention. I must condemn the
course of several of the city papers for sup
porting, by their articles "the bitter feeling
of bad men. As to the merciles manner in
which the Convention was broken up I feel
obliged to confess strong repugnances. It
is useless to attempt to disguise the hos
tility that exists on the part of a great
many here toward Northern men ; and
this unfortunate afl'air has so precipitated
matters that there is now a test of what
shall be the status of Northern men ; wheth
er they can live here without being in con
stant dread or not; whether they can be
protected in life and property, and have
justice in the courts. If this matter is
permitted to pass over without a thorough
and determined prosecution of those en
gaged in it, we may look out for frequent
scenes of the same kind not only here, but
in other places. No steps have as yet
been taken by the civil authorities to ar
rest citizens who were engaged in this
massacre, or policemen who perpetrated
such cruelties. The members of the Con
vention have been indicted by the Grand
Jury, and many of them arrested and held
to bail. As to whether the civil authori
ties can mete out ample justice to the guilty
parties on both sides, I must say it is my
opinion unequivocally that the cannot.
Judge Abel, whose course I have closely
watched for nearly a year, I now consider
one of the most dangerous men that we
have here to the peace and quiet of the
city. The leading men of the Convention,
King, Cutler, Hahn and others, have been
political agitators, and are bad men. I re
gret to say that the course of Gov. Wells
has been vacillating, and that during the
late trouble he has shown very little of the
man.
P. H. SHERIDAN,
Major-Gen. Commanding.
BgL. Major-Gen. Jeff C. Davis, Assistant
Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau
for the State of Kentucky, reports the
freeduieu, generally speaking, as industri
ously employed at fair wages, and that
ninety-five per cent, of the colored people
are self-sustaining. There are 30 colored
schools in the State, with an aggregate at
tendance of 2,828 scholars. Much opposi
tion is manifested in some portions of the
State by white .malcontents, styled "regu
lators," to colored schools, and several in
stances are cited where they have been
broken up and the teachers driven from the
State. Gen. Davis recommends an increase
of the military force by a squadron of cav
alry, to prevent outrages upon freedmen.
The usual wages paid field hands is sl2
per mouth and rations,and in tobacco-grow
ing regions from S2O to S3O per month.
SCBANTON, Aug. 24th, 18GG.
DEAH "REPORTER." —It may be your readers
would be interested in a few lines from one of the
"Boys in Blue," of this enterprising little city.—
We have formed a liegiment of the old veterans,
elected our officers, and are drilling for the great
fight which is to come off on the the 2d Tuesday
in October.
The great boon of Union and Liberty, for which
we fought, is endanger, the Rebels have again in
vaded our State, and, as in 1801, the great loyal
heart is aroused, and the "Boys in Blue" again
gather under the folds of the old Flag, and prepare
to hurl back the Traitors and Copperheads, who
again seek to trail our flag in the dust. " "No com
promise with traitors," is our motto. Such enthu
siasm as was exhibited at our last Saturday evening
muster I have not seen in a long time, as cheer af
ter cheer, went up for GEARY, and the great cause
for which we fought, and will again fight in Octo
ber.
Our Regiment is nearly full, and every one of
themf carries an honorable discharge from Uncle
Sam. "No Deserters or sneaks need apply (hey
all belong to the Clyiner Johnson Club. By the way,
there was a call for a meeting of the "Johnson
Soldiers" last week, hand-bills were posted, and
the leading Copperheads were to bo seen in little
groups, button-holding every soldier, they thought
doubtful, and from the efforts made, we were led
to expect quite a gathering, but lo! Monday eve
ning came, and not one Soldier appeared! A few
Copperheads who gathered at the Hall, came to
the conclusion that " it would not pay to light the
gas," and retired disgusted with themselves, and
secretly cursing " Lincoln's Hirelings."
The experience of the soldier during four years
of war, and the Bloody Riots still raging through
the South, has taught him that " my policy," will
not answer the ends of a free Government."
I thank God, that the intelligent soldier can not
be fooled by such men as Clyiner and Vallandigham.
Their record during the dark days of our Country's
History is too well known, and understood. "Ac
tions speak louder than words," and on the 9th
day of nest October we intend to do our part, in
putting down forever this little Rebellion in Penn
sylvania. Let every soldier do his duty, and fight
one more battle, with Gen. GEARY for his leader,
and treason will be so completely wiped out, that
it will never raise its venomous head again.

1 observe in the published list of Vigilance Com
mittees of the so-called Democratic party, that my
name appears as one of the Committee for Asylum

and have never sympathized with its purposes,
which I consider inimical to the best interests of
the country, I am at a loss to understand why this
liberty has been taken with my name. lam now,
as I have been, a Union Republican.

Dear Sir: —When I signed the call for a meeting
to organize a "Johnson Club," I did not suppose
the organization was to be employed to promote
the cause of Mr. Clymcr. As it appears to be ev
ident to me now that such is the design of a major

withdraw my name from the list of members.
I was a soldier in the late war, and cannot give
my support to any men treacherous to our cause.

The total amount covered by .-Etua Policies on pro

vage will be about 5 per ceut. Our total loss will not
vary much from $200,000, and is being prompt ly adjust
ed and paid. This sum is 5 per cent, upon the assets, a
figure but slightly exceeding our government aud state
taxes paid last year, or a proportion equal to a SSOOO
loss for a company of SIOO,OOO assets.
The necessity for insurance and the value of the
wealthy, strong corporations, is forcibly illustrated by
this fire Several weak Insurance Companies aie des
troyed. Portland has a population of 35,000 was
handsomely built, mostly fine brick or stone structures
—protected and screened with upwards of 3000 shade
trees—bounded on three sides by water—indeed, liter

steam fire depai tment—yet it has $10,000,000 of prop
erty consumed iu a few hours—upon a holiday when its
people are least occupied—from the very insignificant
cause ot a contemptible fire cracker.
Remember the triffling origin ol fires that sweep
away iu a lew hours the earnings of years. Consider
your best interests and give the .-Etna agent a call if
you need proper Insurance security, l'o iicies issued at
