The ledger Despatch. {From lbe (Washington) National Intelligencer of yesterday,] In publishing, as a matter of interesting news or fact, the following letter from Mr. H. M. Flint, we take occasion to say that he iB the writer who, over the signature of “Druid,” furnished well remembered letters for the press during the rebellion. Being known to the Washington correspondent of the ledger in New York, to whom it seems by what Mr. Flint verbally informs us, the telegram was sent, as the author of the “Druid” leters, which gave so much more than common information during the war touching the alleged strength of rebel armies and resources, and, therefore, subjected him to the imputation of sustaining the Confede rate cause, or sympathizing with it, we are surprised to f learn that he is the author of the facts in the despatch which appeared in the Ledger. and have played so important a part in financial operations, to the deep hurt of the public credit, as well as to that of private parties, and to the great advantage of the Kadical cause in elections which are about to take; place in New York and other Northern ; States. AH these things were, of course, patent to the trusted Ledger correspondent in New York, who, considering the ante cedents of Mr. Flint, we do not hesitate to say, should not have received his. state ments with such degree of reliance as to warrant its publication in a newspaper so old, so reliable, so careful, and so responsi ble as has been the Ledger . Worse than this, it was taken up by other newspaper correspondents at Philadelphia, and New York also, we suppose, and sent to sucn another respected journal as the Baltimore Aim, and, in fact, to the remotest bounds of the Republic. We can hardly suspect that the corres pondent of the Ledger , in making up his despatch from a variety of circumstances, to eav the least—such as the remarks of incon siderate triflers, or the sage ones of persons pretending to a knowledge that had no ex istence in point of fact —oould have sup posed that it was to be set down for a relia ble fixed fact, and sent on the lightnings wing, on the same day it was written, to all the great trade and financial centres of the country. Washington, Oct. 14,1866.—2 b the Edi tors of the National Intelligencer. — Sirs: I understand from one of the editors of the Philadelphia Ledger that that paper will contain a statement to-morrow implicating me as the author of the despatch of Ootober 10, which appeared in the Ledger. Ido not know in what form the statement will ap pear,but I understand that I will be blamed severely. I desire now to ask the public pot to judge the case until I shall have had an opportunity to explain the matter folly. I have probably been misled by false infor mation; but my information on the subject was such as to cause me te believe, as I did believe, that I was fully justified in writing what I did. It may be proper to add that I sought an interview with the President on Saturday morning, and frankly explained to him the extent of my connection with the despatch in question.and the grounds which I had for writing what I did write, with holding nothing from him except the names of those from whom I derived the informa tion. Very respectfully, Henry M. Flint. letter from the President to the Public ledger. With reference to the despatch concerning the alleged questions of the President to the Attorney General, which was imposed on : the correspondent of the Public Ledger, of Philadelphia,the following letter was issued yesterday, by order of the President: _ t Co py-]—. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., Oct. 15, 1866. —Lear Sir: —The President has carefully examined the papers which you placed in his hands on the 14th instant, and is entirely satisfied that the respon sibility connected with the despatch, to which they refer, rests alone upon the Washington agent of your correspondent The President is convinced that neither the proprietors, editors nor managers had any complicity whatever in the fabrication of thedespach. Very respectfally, yours, (Signed) Robert Johnson, Secretary, ToW. V. McKean, Esq., Washington, D. C., representing George W. Childs, Esq., of the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Tbe Fenian Arms Bestored. Buffalo, October 15th.—In pursuance of orders issued by the Attorney-General of the United States, with the concurrence of the Secretary of War, United States Dis trict Attorney Dart gave instructions to General. Berry, commanding this military district, to turnover the arms seized from the Fenians in this city and at other points within the military district, upon the giving of bonds.in the double value of the arms, to he approved by Judge N. K. Hall that the arms shall not be used in violation of the neutrality laws. There were twenty boxes of arms seized here, valued at $2,500, This general order was procured at the intervention of Hon. James M. Humphrey, of this city, the Cabi net taking the position that as the Govern ment had abandoned the prosecution of the Fenian officers and soldiers, it could not consistently hold their private property. Several thousand dollars worth of arms, held at Erie, Oswego, Plattsburg, Malone, Troy, and other plaoes, will be turned over on the same terms. It is said by the Fe nians that the arms will be sold to Santa Anna. P. O.Day andT, B. Gallagher signed the bond. From Fortress Monroe. Fobtbess Monbob, Oct. 14.—The Balti more steamer Adelaide, while coming down the Bay last night, broke her shaft, and was -com {Veiled to return to Baltimore.

Savannas, Oot. 15.—A privateletter from MayportMills, Florida, says, that Gouldsby, the second mate of the ill-fated steamer Evening Star, had arrived there, having left the steamer with a boat-load of lady pas sengers, all but two of whom were lost before getting near the shore. In landing, the latter were lost—one named Annie , from Rhode Island, and the other Rosa Howard, of New York. Both became insane from want and starva tion. Their bodies were washed ashore, that of the latter being nearly devoured by sharks. The mate is barely alive.

Cornerstone Laying. The corner-stohe of the Bethany Presby terian Church, to be ereoted at Twenty second and Shippen streets, was laid yester day afternoon with appropriate ceremonies. The officiating clergymen were, Rev. Mr. Lowry, pastor of the church, Rev. Drs. Boardman and Reed. Rev. John Chambers and others. Mr. John Wannamaker read a historical sketch of the church, from whiefa it Appeared that it had a very Bmall beginning in 1858, when the Bethany Mission School was -formed, and steps were taken for the erec tion of a mission house, which was dedicated to religious service on the 27th of January, 1859. The movement was attended with abundant success; so much so that in 1862 the need of a more suitable building began to be felt, but it was not until 1865 that the; Bethany Church was formally organized. It now has about a hundred members and a regiment of Sunday scholars, as Mr. Wannamaker expressed it—about seven hundred and fifty, with forty officers and teachers. On the 80th of August last the ground was broken for the ohnrch, and the , work, it was said, would go on until it was. completed. The Rev. Dr. Boardman, upon being in troduced to the audience, said he should not make a formal address, but should say a few words of the building about to be erected. He had no doubt that if the occa sion of the meeting had been the opening of a public square, like Washington or Ritten houße Square, there would have neen an immense gathering; yet such an event was not to be compared to that which had called them together. Of all the countless plansof the day for doing good, none was to be com pared to the establishment of an evangelical church. It was like setting a new star in the heavens. All temporary blessings should flow out of such an' organization, and all who can come within the sphere of its usefulness should bid the work of God speed. Rev. John Chambers hoped the movement would be an entire success, and that when the edifioe is erected, nothing but the simple Gospel of God will be preached in it. He had no hope of the world but in the Gospel. It had been tried to reform men by the tem perance movement, but it had failed; a thousand other ways had been attempted, but nothing save the blessed Gospel would accomplish the salvation of mankind. After a few remarks by the Rev. Dr. Reed, the corner-stone was laid, followed by the benediction. The cburch is to be 44 by 88 feet, and the school-house, adjoining, is to be 82 by 105 feet, both of the Gothic order olarchitecture. They are to he erected of Belville brown brown Btone, and will be beautiful edifices. Sunday School Convention.— A Con vention of the Baptist Sabbath Schools of this city was held last evening in the Tab ernacle Baptist Church, Chestnut street, above Eighteenth, for the purpose of discus sing and adopting a plan of organization through which the general interests and efficiency of the sohools may be increased. The schools coming under the influence of this Convention are thirty-three in number, inclusive of some of the mission schools. The Convention was organized by calling Rev. Dr. Griffith to the chair. Mr. John M. Evans proposed a plan to carry out the ob jects of the organization, by creating a fund. It was suggested that five dollars per annum more should be contributed by each school, but no school should be excluded inconse .quenceof its inability to pay this amount. The plan was adopted, and addresses bear ingon the subject were made by the Rev. J. W. Smith, Rev. P.S. Henson, and others. The Convention then adjourned.

Escobedo ana Trevino, under the walls of Monterey, by General Mejia, who immedi ately thereafter started a division for Mata moras. A private letter confirms this defeat, and states that Mejia had occupied Monterey, and that from the demonstrations made on the 9th and 10th, by Cortinas and Covale, a fight for the pessession of Matamoraa would take place an the 10th. It has been currently reported here for two days, that Gen. Sheridan has informa tion that Maximilian has oompleted his preparations to follow Carlotta. Grand Parade of tbe Jersey City Firemen* New York, Oct. 15.—The grand parade of the Volunteer Fire Department of Jersey City to-day was participated in by 1300 firemen. Companies were present from Philadelphia, Hoboken, Williamsburg, Ac They were received by the Mayor and Common Council. Thestreets were thronged with people. There was a general display of bunting, and business was almost en tirely suspended. Customs of Oriental Shopkeepers.— The Armenians, who divide with the Greeks and Jews the entire mercantile traffic of Western Asia, are accustomed to sit down and weep bitterly when they have sold anv article of value, declaring that the purchaser has ruined them. The Jews, on similar occasions, rend their garments (which, by the way, are said to be worn purposely for such sacrifice,) with still louder protesta tions of ruin. The Greek shopkeepers, in most of the Turkish towns, send a crier through the city to proclaim the arrival of new goods and their prices, every announcement being regularly concluded with adeclaration that his employer is ruining himself, but must sell. In Asiatic Russia, the shopkeepers con sidered it incumbent on them to absolutely refuse selling their goods to any customer, and the latter is expected to employ himßdtf at least an hour in persuading the merchant to deal with him. But the most extraordinary custom is that which prevails among the merchants of Thibet, a regular stand up fight being re quited to take place between tne seller and purchaser, on the disposal of any consider able quantity of goods, the former obsti nately rejecting the price to which he has already agreed, and the latter as resolutely forcing it upon him. It is not business-like to settle matters' till a few blows have been exchanged on both sides, after which they peaceably shake hands, and the bargain is concluded. communic.Ung ROOMS to let. 1327 SPRUCE street. 0015-6t* THE HANDSOME RESIDENCE, south East Cor. ner of SPRUCE and EIGHTH Streets, Is opeo to receive BOARDERS, Rooms Single and Suites with private Table If desired.
