[Correspondence of the Phtle..Evening Bulletin.] CARLISLE WHITE SULPHA:TR SPRINGS, June 21st, 1866.—This celebrated watering place has been recently purchased by Messrs. Thompson and McCulloch, and is newly fitted up; furnished and opened for the season. Mr. Thompson, the proprietor of the State Capitol Hotel, at Harrisburg, is in charge; and he and his partner have placed the White House on the footing of a first-class retreat. The spacious buildings are located near the foot of the North Moun tain, and we enjoy the cool, refreshing breezes fresh from its summit. The Sal phur waters [have been the subject of many an analysis, and their medicinal properties, as well as their influence in beautifying the complexion, have been the theme of poetry and chemistry. We have a ten-pin alley, billiards, &c., and "the Springs" will enjoy a band of music to enliven the evenings with Irons and balls. The company at this place -is usually composed of Southern as well as Northern society. The ride to the place is by the Pennsylvania Railroad to Harrisburg, thence by the Valley Railroask, to Carlisle, eighteen mi'es, (to which piaci* you check your baggage at Philadelphia), and then by carriages, in waiting, to_the Springs, a pleasant drive of four or five miles. Another advantage is moderate board, considering that the place is as well kept as the Continental or the Girard EiItiUSEIIENTS. The McDonough testimonial takes place this evening and we anticipate a splendid house, with such admirable artists as Messrs. J. E. and T. B. McDonough, J. H. Jack and S. Hemple, with Mrs. Henri, Miss C. Jefferson, Mrs. Creese, &cc. On Monday Heller, the magician, begins a brief series of his soirees. At the Walnut the "Naiad Queen" is to be the attraction forsome time, as we have already , announced. It will be beautifully brought out. At the Chestnut on Monday Bryant's Minstrels will appear. There is probably no better troupe in the world. At the American "Valsha, the Slave Queen," is still the attraction, Madame Ponisi being the heroine. At Assembly Building Signor Blitz gives his entertain ments nightly and on Wednesday and Sa turday afternoons. A Cuarous STORY.—A German, name% Brooker, aged fifty years. is in jail at Mein phis, Tennessee, charge_ with the murder of his wife. His statement is that he was a soldier in the war, and that on his-return he discovered that his wife was false to him. He discovered her in an equivocal position; after which she demanded an explanation, and he related what he had seen. She drew a pistol, told him he lied, and if be did not at once retract his statement, she would shoot him. Making no reply, he walked out of the door, and she, leveling her pistol at him, fired. The ball missed Its aim, and he left premises. In about half an hour he returned. She with a gun cocked, and in her bands, met at the door, and told him that if he did net then retract what he bad said, she would instantly ,kill him. Without reply he endeavored to wrest the gun from her. A struggle ensued, the gun was accidentally discharged, and she fall to the floor, pierced through the breast with the ball, and immediately expired. An officer hearing the report rushed ' to the house, found the gun empty, her dead and bleeding, and Ernest Brooker, her husband, alone present. He inquired how it hap pened, and Brooker, in broken English, en deavored to tell him. The officer could only understand that he said he did it. Brooker was committed to jail, where he was taken sick, and for a long time it was thought he would die. He recovered, and now awaits his trial at the next term of the criminal court, when, as no one saw the killing, he will doubtless be convicted , of murder in the first degree, the penalty of which is death. PRODUCTION OF OXALIC AClD.—Oxalic acid being much used in photography, at tention has been directed to the easy pro duction of this substance. Three French chemists—MM. Laurent, CEistheler ind Bas set have succeeded in obtaining it ,from the waste of shoemakers' and saddlers' shops, and others where leather is used; also from woolen rags, horn, hair, &a. For this pur pose these residues are treated with one part of sulphuric acid and four of water, and the mass thus obtained is, subjected M the action of one part of nitric acid.and three of water, at a temperature of " about eighty degrees centigrade. From the digestion of thw, oxalic acidis easily extracted. : A DouBLE MtainEß.--Last Monday night, the residence of Dr. Webb, 'at 'Little Rock, Arkansas, was entered by some one know ing, his safe, contained over $75,000. The Doctor was at the time sleeping in his bed with his son, a boy of twelve years. Both were brutally murdered with an axe. The assassin then procured the key of the safe, but could only open one door. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1866. CANADA. Important Proceedings in the Provincial Parliament---The Fenian Invasion Before the House of Assembly --Indemnity Claimed from the United States--Great Excitement in the House--The Mea sure Adopted. Orr Awe, C. W., June 22, 1866.—A scene of a most unexpected nature occurred in the House of. Assembly to-night. Mr. Galt moved for the indemnification of the Go vernment for the expensesincurred by them during the recent Fenian troubles. Several members of the government and g.overn ment party spoke in advocacy of the mea sure. This called Mr.W.F. Chambers, of Brock ville, one of the most independent members of the Canadian Legislature, to his feet. He commenced by announcing that he was bound to no party, and cared for no policy, except so far as it had right and j us lice on its aide.. He could not agree with the speakers who had preceded him that it was expedient or wise to raise a force of permanent volunteers that would be able to resist the power of the United States. [Hisses and disorder.] I fear not to speak the truth. The thing is impossible and if it has come to that pass that members of the House are to be hissed down when they give expression to an independent sen timent, then it is time at least to protest against it. [Cries of "Order," "Go on," "Let him go can," and confusion.] I tell you a band- of one thousand FenianS is one thing, and thirty to thirty-five millions of American people is another, and that to attempt the defence of this country against them is an absurdity, and would be a decep tion of the people of Canada, which I, as one of their representatives, will resist to thelast effort of my ability. Noise and interruption here ensued from all _parts of the house, amid which Mr. Chambers' voice became inaudible. When he could again be heard he said: Is it because the representative of a foreign journal (meaning the New York Herald) is in the House that I am obliged to submit to sneers and interruptions. But I tell you, I shall be heard, - any my voice shall utter words to the true interests, not only of my constituency, but of the people of the whole of Canada. This country is indefensible, I repeat, against the power of the 'United States, and therefore and money spent for the purpose of contending with our great republican neighbor in time of war would be unless extravagance, against which I now fearleally protest. [Hisses and noise.] I see the gentlemen on the other aide and the members of the government sneering as in terrupting,but I will go on. [Cries of "Yes, 'fee," Go on, go on," and unnatural laugh ter.] If other gentlemen want to deceive the Canadian people and fear to speak their mind, I tell you again that I am not, and for that purpose will assert my rights on this floor, no matter if I am compelled to continue the attempt till morning. [This was said in a loud voice amid "Pooh, poobs," "Order, order," &e.] I laelieve in faithfully discharging my whole duty, and to go to the expense of raising a military force to defend this country against the United States would not only be unwise, but destructive to the interests of Canada. Let such a thing be attempted, such a disposition be shown towards the American people. Let the Canadian people have the slightest idea of such a pohcy, and the expenditure necessary to carry it out, and they will with me vehe mently protest against it. [Great noise, and shouts of "Hear!" "Hear!"] They will pro test against it, I say, and vehemently, if you let them know; but you cannot do that by drowning the voice of one of their represen tatives in the House. [Noise]. Do you re fuse to hear the truth? Are yon afraid of it? [Cries of "No! No! No!" "Hear, hear," (to.] I will tell it to you if you allow me. It was far more likely that thirty millions or thirty-five millions of active, enterprising people will absorb three millions than that three millions will absorbthem. [Boisterous confusion]. That is the way you listen ,to me. You cry "go on, go on" for the express purpose of preventing me from doing so. Enough on that point. The undeniable logic of facts and figures are before you, and I tell you that they are irresistible and should be known in Canada. Discussion is truth. Listen to it. [This was said amid renewed interruption, in which Mr. Cham bers' voice was again lost for some time.] Now, gentlemen, there is another matter that ls of importance, and that I fear not to to speak of and criticise, if others do. It is' - the conduct or those - who - tad charge of the military in the recent opposition to the Fenian raids. There was blundering and mismanagement on the part of some of the military commanders,and can you deny It? [lnterruptions.l There was this, if not something still more reprehensi ble in the conduct of our military leaders; yet there is not a single member from Up per Canada—none but myself—to rise in his place and proidaim this. [Hisses and sheath.] I say this is the case, and that it should be fearlessly inquired into, and that we should do our duty to the country,above all considerations of government favor on the head of men or faction. There is truth from amen, who, as Heaven is his judge, speaks only in the cause of truth, justice,the interests of his constituents and the broader interests of Canada. Mr. Chambers concluded, amid boisterous shouts of "Sit down," "Order," "Go on," and forced laughter; • D'Aroy McGee rose to reply, as well as other members of the government party, and though McGee displayed his, usual eratorical ability his remarks - were almost exclusively a personal attack on. Mr. Chem hers, and no reply to his address, Mr. Galt's motion was finally adopted, and business of a routine character soon after came up,. which engaged the attention of the House till it adjourned.'` The cholera at New York. [From choleraerald] One death from occurred in this city yesterday,,- ; the,- vietim being the Mrs. Simpson reported in our last issue as having been attacked 'at _No. 19 - Mulberry street. The woman - lost her husband; -a few days ago, from the same disease, and - when it seized her she Seemed entirely destitute of friends. Arrangements were accordingly made to have her removed to Bellevue Hos pital. For some reason the removal did not take place, and lingering until yesterday morning, she died, after an illness of less than 24 hours. , • rcliceman - Peck, reported ill of cholera, OUR 'WHOLE COUNTRY. at No. 168 Debnicy street, is convalescing. AnnUrosbY, who died at No. 228 Church street last Wednesday afternoon, was buried by her friends at 3 P. M. yesterday. The genOtal health of the city remains good, notwithstanding the excessive heat of the lasktivo days. The atmosphere yesterday war very dry, and in the evening there was a cool and pleasant breeze. These con ditions are regarded as much more favor able than a hot and humid air, and we close the week with a less degree of anxiety concerning the spread of the poison than was felt when it began. There has been but one death on board thelospital ship. Falcon since the last re port,_ but no admissions. Dr. Swinburne made some statements to the Board of Health concerning the condition of affairs in the Lower Bay thatare far from gratifying. The well passengers are crowded together in hulks, and he finds it almost impossible to keep them in a good sanitary condition. About seven hundred Scandinavian and . Germans are imprisoned on the Illinois; their bunks are exceedingly filthy, and the officers are forced to use violence in order to compel them to leave their beds. The ven tilation is bad, and the' smell is said to be sickening. The Irish emigrants who came by the Union have been entirely healthy since they were separated from their Ger man fellow' passengers. The experience of the past week or two at Quarantine has shown that those who were not furnished with bedding, bat compelled to sleep on the bare and well-ventilated decks, got well, for which reason there is now no complaint among the passengers against sleeping on board floors. Those who are furnished with bedding occupy their beds continually, and the air becoming vitiated makes them ill. It is impossible to procure other vessels from the Government, and the expectation of new arrivals during the present crowded condition of those that have been placed at the disposal of the Health Officer makes the prospect gloomy enough. It was proposed to allow the well passen gers to come to the city to-day, and the consignees of the infected ships urged their pleas with great pertinacity; but the Sani tary Committee, being compelled to choose between two evils,determined to keep them where they are until they shall have passed 22 days.in freedom from the disease. Those on the Portsmouth will perhaps be released in a few days. Of the 50 patients in the hospital, all are convalescent with a very few exceptions. Andrew Johnson, a native of Russia, aged 35, a bargeman on board the Falcon, died June 22. Mary Long, an inmate of the Home for the Friendless, in Twenty-ninth street, wets last evening taken suddenly ill with syull)toms resembling those or cholera. Drs. McLane and Ranney were called in, and after pre scribing ler her, ordered 'her removal to Bellevue Hospital. The 20th Precinct Police also reported a case at No. 67 West Twenty-eighth street, but failed to give the name of the patient. The. Freedmen—Reports from Various Staten. The report of the Assistant Commissioner of Freedmen's Affairs in Arkansas, Mis souri and the Indian Territory, for the month of May,atates that the number of ra tions issued to refugees in the month of April was 43,742 t0 ' 202 refugees, at a cost of $5,049 49, and that 6,919 rations were is sued to 393 freedmen at a cost of $1,882 17. In the month of May 65,375 rations were is sued to 3,053 refugees at a cost of $8,273 SS, and 9,965 rations were issued to 536 freed men, at a cost of $1,270 52. Early in May notice was given that rations would cease to be issued on the Ist of June, except to such as were in infirmaries established by the Bureau, or were so near the office of a Su perintendent as to enable him to make per sonal investigation as to their necessities, but it was found that from the inability of very many to procure seeds in proper season for planting, particularly Irish, pota toes and other crops that could have been realized early in the season, and more than all from the absence of animals to plow and cultivate crops, that great destitution and suffering will prevail in many parts of the country unless relieved by the charity of the Government until the corn harvest is gathered. Most of those receiving assist ance from the Government have no crops under cultivation except corn, and they look forward with bright anticipations to the season when "roasting ears" can be gath ered. In issuing to the destitute, no dis crimination 'has been made on account of loyal or disloyal sentiments during the war. The aim has been to assist the help less destitute who are trying to help them selves. BDQRS. ASST. COMMISSION= BUREAU REFUGEES, FREEDMEN AND ABANDONED LANDS, SOUTH CAROLINA, CHARLESTON, S. C., June 16, IS66.—Major Gen. Howard-- GENERAL: I see, by the report of Gens. Steadman and Fullerton on South Carolina, that the Rev. Mr. French and Lieut. J. L. Lott are represented as being engaged in planting, and .that I disapproved their course in the matter. I have the honor to state tiat I have from the first disapproved of any officers on duty in. the Bureau be coming planters, but in the case of Rev. Mr. French and Lieut. Lott, I thought I was un derstood by Gene. Steadman and Fullerton when I told them that they made merely a loan of money to enable M rs. Hanahan to put the people:at work, a contract having been made and ariproved by which the freed men . were ,to get a share of the gross proceeds of the crop, the landholder to furnish provisions and the necessary imple ments and animals to cultivate the planta tion. The Rev. Mr. French brought the matter to my notice, and asked my advice on the subject. I told him that I could see no just reason why an officer should not lend his money to any person, and more particularly in this case, where the freed men were under contract and the owner only awaiting money to buy food for them, and I will furthermore state that neither of the parties have:-had anything directly or indirectly to do with planting nor with the freedmen on the plantation, it being entirely under the control of the owner, and some 50 miles;distant from this city.. Believing this explanatiott due to the Rev. Mr. French and Lieut. Lott; I• aim; General, very' respect fully, your obedient servant, • •• R. R. Scow • • Brevet Major-Gem, Asst. Commissioner. , .

Late and Important Intelligence-- Triumph of the Revolution and Departure of Ex-President Baez---His Arrival at St. Thomas---Action of the Provisional Government. I"Conespondence of the New York HeraltLl ST. Doatmao Crrv, June 9, 1866.—The re volution has triumphed. Mr. Baez leaves to• day, in the Spanish steamer Barcelona,. for St. Thomas. He had been expecting, for the last few days, commissioners from the provisional government, to whom he desired, appa rently, to depose his functions of executive power; but, on the 25th tilt., he received the tidings that General Pimentel had advanced with a superior force in the neighborhood of San Carlos, suburb of the city of St. Do mingo, and received a despatch from said General, by a courier, announcing that the city must be surrendered within forty-eight hours. Baez answered the despatch and wanted to enter into negotiations; but, owing to the rumor that the garrison had opened the gate of the city to the invading army, panic and consternation prevailed. Baez sought an asylum in the French Consulate. The cry was at the consulate "Sauve qui pent." . The protection of that flag saved hirnfrom the mob, to whose fury he would otherwise have been sacrificed. A provisional government was installed, under General Pimentel, and order was soon re-established. It was determined to demand Mr. Baez from the French consul for trial; but after mature consideration it was decided, to prevent any further dis turbance, to send him his passports and get rid of him. He was finally allowed to em bark on board the Spanish steamer Bares- Rona. His brother, Damien Baez, and Gen. Pedro Guillermo, the one who aided the riot that brought Mr. Baez to power, have been imprisoned Slid will be tried as incen diaries. The electoral colleges are to be convened, and the presidential election is to take place by instantaneous general suf frage. The candidate who probably will be elected is General Pimentel. His patriot ism and abnegation are well known: unlike Mr.. Baez, who, after having occupied the rank of Field Marshal in the Spanish army renounced that title on the evacuation of the island by Spain, and caused himself, by means of money and a revolutionary move ment,, to be elected President. This unanimous rising has not caused the least trouble or bloodshed in the country. The city of St. Domingo being the seat of government is the only place where some momentary disorder prevailed. The island is positively quiet, and no doubt will re main so for a longtime. ST. Titolus, dime 12, 1866.—The Spanish steamer Barcelona, from St. Domingo, ar rived this morning, bringing as passengers Mr. Baez, ex-President of the republic, and some of his suite.

The American Union Commission, ema nating from you, have established in the State of Georgia eight schools, having in, them nine teachers and seven hundred chil-' dren. Five months ago, very few of these children had any school privileges. They did not know the alphabet. A large num ber of them live in old tents and shantees around the half consumed city of Atlanta. The fathers of one-third of them are in their graves, very many of them are dependent orphans. These little ones have been so de lighted with the schools you have estab lished, and the Northern teachers you have sent to sympathize with them and instruct them, that their progress in - learning has been most rapid. Their expressions of grat itude to the people of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is a daily occurrence. The time for closing these schools for the summer is.at hand. It is for you to say whether they shall be re-opened in the fall or abandoned, and the children again scat tered with none to care for them, and the teachers returned to their homes. What ever may be said of the other portions of the South, you have yet to hear a word, or see a line in print, charging the citizens of At lanta, Macon or Athens with any interfe rence with the work of educating the freed men. God has blest the American Union Commission and will make it a blessing to the Sauth, and the whole country if you continue to support it. Whatever may be thought of those who bore arms against the constituted authority of the country, and however wise it may be argued, to allow them to suffer, sure we are there is too much magnanimity in the States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey to allow them to stoop to visit the transgressions of the fathers upon poor, ragged, orphan chil dren. With these school houses then built and furnished, with teachers educated and loyal at their head, with the confidence and encouragement of citizens in the towns where they are located enlisted in their be half, we come to you now, and make an ap peal for their support. Remember they are yours, commenced by you, maintained thus far by your liberality, and can only be con tinued as the result of your continued favor and blessing upon them. We appeal to you with the warmest feelings of our hearts to give us aid for another year. The members of the Commission have agreed to furnish three thousand dollars if the citizens of the two States will furnish an equal amount. This done we can then, at the end of another year, hand over our schools to the city authorities and feel that in the name of God and suffering childhood, we have done our duty. Contributions will be received by. William Struthers, Treasurer,No. 1032 Market street, or Joseph parker, Secretary,No. 1210 Chest nut street. ?. • P.

The bent of the following amusing article does not accord with our own notions pre cisely, but it is too good to be lost. The hero is supposed to be a quaint old farmer, and he is supposed to have written as fol lows to the Cincinnati Commercial : One day some time ago, John'had been to the station for me and brought home a pa per that was filled with a great - many speeches that had been made about a bill that our President had seen fit to disapprove of. Well, I took the paper to my corner, and, although it was all in very small print and tried my eyes very much, I read it every bit. My good wife got tired of my forever sitting there poring ever those long "bora tions,' as she termed them, and said that I would do well to be reading my Bible more, and such production less. `Wife," said I, "the kingdom of heaven isn't in and partic ular Ganger just now, but my country is." After that she said nothing more about it to me. But the more I rsad in that paper the more bothered I became. I read a long speech by Mr. Henry Beecher, who seems to know so much about everything bat divinity,and I liked it because he supported our President, and our President, I thought must be in - a very trying positionnow7a days. Then I was upset by Mr. Phillips, who went into Mr. B. like I have seen little boys attack hornets' nests in the winter time. "If such men differ," said I, "who will decide? I had always before thoright, these two would agree though the earth split. Then I turned over the leaf wrong and commenced on the latter part of somebody else's speech. I liked it so much that I read on and on until I finished it. "Surely," said Ito myself, "surely we have got one good and true man in the land." The tone of the speech reminded me of the good old fashioned "farewell address" of General Washington, and I thanked God and took courage. Then I hunted up_ the beginning of the speech, and could not believe my eyes when I saw Alex. H. Stephens's name to it. I thought it must be Thaddeus Stevens, as he was "Union:" though the composition was very much unlike the style of the gentle man from Pennsylvania. "Wife," said I, "look here; my glasses area little dim; is that Alex. H. ?" "Alex. H.," said she. "Not Thaddeus," said I. "Not Thaddeus," said she. "Is the last name spelt with a 'v,' or with a 'h?'" "Ph," said she, "and what are you read ing rebel speeches for, I'd like to know. He's the Vice President of the Confederacy, and ought to be hanging to a sour apple tree instead of being loose and making bo rations." - [My wife is a little nebulous about names and titles, but is a thorough-going Union woman, and hates rebels with a perfect hatred. She was a chairman of an aid so ciety during the war, and many a time I've waked up in the night and found her still sitting by the dying fire, knitting socks for the poor soldiers who were "a-lying out on the cold ground with nothing. but their knapsacks and pontoons to cover them:9 Then I found that the speech was ad dressed to the Georgia Legislature, and I knew that "Thad. Stevens would never take the trouble to tell erring people how to go right, though he is great on abusing them when they go wrong." Facts and Fancies. There is to be a sort of official visitation of the Chestnut Street Bridge this afternoon. It is said to be nearly complete, but the ccmpany is going to "La Pierre" before dinner.

James O'Reilly, of Jersey City, attempted to drown his wife by throwing her into the canal; on Tuesday morning, but her son. a lad of 14, saved her by the hair of the head as she was sinking for the last time.

In a letter to the Tribuneshe says: "I do not trouble myself about politid9 or politicians or editors, or any such unkind; unfeeling people; yet, I have suffered greatly by them." Not a doubt of it. • A skeleton, apparently of a girl about 14 years old, was found on the shore at Shark rive3t, N. J., by Mr. Hannoway, recently. It had been enclosed in a sack, which had decayed.

Hoffman, in Rahway, was entered on Sunday night, by means of a latticed grape arbor, and a lady visitor robbed of $250 in money and a gold watch. It is supposed thatchloroform.or some other drug was administered, and while under its influence the lady was robbed—possibly Hoffman's Anodyne. - That interesting heroine, Belle Boyd,whe figured as a petticoated spy in the Shenan doah Valley has become disgusted with her husband and taken to the stage. Hersweet and feminine spirit thus expressed itself recently in Manchester. She said "she would like to see her husband five minutes before she.went on the stage, for the pur pose of dressing him down, and giving her blood a healthy circulation. Her loathing detestation of him, she said, would fire her soul and keep it in a blaze through the performance."
