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.

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.

Berrible Fate of JSome ot the Passengers
of the Evening Star.
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.

Beported Defeat or Escobedo by General
Bfejla.

Rio Grande, through tne Galveston papers
of the 12th, report the complete route of Gen.
Escobedo ana Trevino, under the walls of

ately thereafter started a division for Mata

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.
