[Correspondence of the Philadelphia iventag CAPE ISLAND, June 25th", I,B67.—Prop4ratory to the expected grand rushy I mail you, this initial letter, All the hotels and cottages are open, with just enough occupants to,. render melancholy what would otherwise be deserted. Every house is bright with fresh pain% new wall-paper and whitewash. If the clerk of - the weather were only a unit with the clerks in the hotels, Cape Island would have been crowded ere this;but the former gentleman has seen lit to replace the usual salti ness of June with sundry showers and cold winds, which are more suggestive of grate-tires and hot whisky punches, than of sca , bathing aalgauze dresses. The healiy floods which visited the Island.• dur ing the winter relieved the otherwise beautiful beach of those frame abortions,. yelept 'bath houses." These have ail been replaced by neat and cosy structures, which have the merit of add ing to,and not detracting from, the grand scenery • u_the_scaTfront-oilie-Islarid. Several new and pretty cottages have made their appearance since last year. The hotels re main without change. . I may call attention, however, to, the dining-saloon of Congress-Hall, the ceiling of which has been elegantly, frescoed and the walls handsomely painted. To mymiad, it is the finest saloon of - _any to be found in our numerous sea-side resorts. A new race park has been constructed since last year, and "thegentlethen having the same in charge have received a charter from the legisla ture of New Jersey. The park. is located at Diamond beach, a pleasant drive of five miles "frorp the island. Within the inclosure are ample shaking and a commodious hotel. " There will be trials of speed here during the summei-,•and the park will, like its companion of New York, be the resort of wealth and. fashion.. The railroad trains to Cape May will be increased this season by the addition of a Sunday line. It made the first...trip last Sunday. It leaves your city at seven A. M., reacking the Island at half past ten A. M.; returning, leaves Cape May at five P. M., reaching your city at half-past eight: P. M. This train will enable merchants. bankers, and all whom business detains In the city during the week, to spend •• a pleasant Sunday at the seaside with their families and friends. The train was a desideratum; and its success to the management was •only equaled b a y the pleasure which its inauguration gave to Cape May frequenters. At Union station o twenty-one milas from Cam den, the West Jersey Company have fitted up the handsome grove of 'Cold Springs" as an excur sion ground. The'Bethel M. E. Church, of Phila delphia, made the inaugural excursion there last week. The participants pronounce the grounds pleasant and the arrangements perfect. Along the route the towns of Vineland and Franklin will show what Yankee energy cab pro duce. • What four years ago were pine-forests grow ing from the sand are to-daya succession of fertile fields and orchards, and vineyards, interspersed. with pretty: country villas and spired churches. A .lialf-doien little towns along the road-have sprung up with the rapidity of mushrooms, and the stability of radishes. The-Cape—May—Doily Ware sends forth its first issue on Monday next. It is a live sheet, and always welcomed. • Our lamps are all trimmed, and we only await good weather and the arrival of the guests, to apply the torch and send the bull rolling. About Brownlowls Militia. Mr. Swinton, the special correSpondent of the Nov York Tiinex, now traveling in the South, writes to that journal from Bristol, Tennessee, concerning the stories of outrages by "Brown low's militia",which have made a prominent fea ture in the Democratic papers for some tithe And in this connection I must say a,word, in concluding this letter, touching the conduct of Brownlow s militia here, about which a false re port, which I have never seen contradicted, was promulgated some tithe ago. There is a•coni pany of the militia encamped at a mile from the town; it is a full company, and consists of seventy-five white men and thirty-five blacks, under Capt.:Grisham. The re port was that they bad been kicking,tip a great row hereabouts. ' Now I have seen a good deal of the Captain and his company, and have talked with 'the people of the town about theta, and there is not a rebel in the place who can. say that the men have, behaved otherwisethan with perfect decency, propriety and go kt order since they came here three weeks ago Indeed, there is not • a person in Bristol who does not bear cheerful witness to their excellent conduct. The Captain is , a peaceable, good-natured, sensible fellow, though he did make rather a fool of himself the other day in 'squimoning three JUstices Of the Peace to come to camp and decide between a man and his wife in some family row, , The Ciops In Nary-lard. ,; , Of the-Crops. , in Worcester county, the SnoW ,Aihield. says: The wheat and other cropiAutve not been much, if any, damaged by the late flooding,rain: But little rust is noticed in the wheat, as we have so far been able to learn. Corn and oats, are rather benefited. The wheat is nOw!nearlY Out.of . all danger, and the crop ylll be a very good one. We - think the prospect is good for all crops. In Somerset county; says the Salisbury New Era: : The prOspect for a fruit crop in this vicinity is unusually good. Strawberries have been abund ant, but are . now among the things • that were. Cherries now occupy the attention of our fruit merchants, and never, within the recollection of the oldest Inhabitants, have gowers reaped so abundant a harvest of - this frudt. Hundreds of bushels have been forwarded from this phice 'to theseveml cities, and still they, pour in. The. peach trees groan under loads and imply have already been crushediben oath their enormous burden:• It Is hard for the inexperienced fruit groiver to realize the importaw, of thinning his fruit, thereby securing an improved'Oality and. a more profitable crop. It is feared that many orchards will be Injured by allowing too 'much fruit to remain on the trees. file Livingstone ExpediliOne The expedition in search of Dr. Livingstone left England on the 10th. It consists of only four, persons—Mr. E. D. Young, who has been entrusted with the command; Mr. Henry Faulk ner, and two experienced men named John Reed and John Buckley, one a mechanic, who traveled with Dr. Livingstone for - two years, and a half in Zambesi; and the other' •a sea man, acclimatized on the east coast of. Africa, and thoroughly acquainted with the nature-I< the country and with the manners and habits. xif the native population. Mr Young was also a companion ot. Dr.. Livingstone on one of his former eventful journeys. Mr. Faulkner accom panies the expedition at his own request and ex pense. r . All four started on Friday from London for Southampton, whence they proceed to the Cape of Good Hope by the African mail steamer. The steel cutter which has been furnished to the expedition. to enable them to navigate the'rivers and lakes of Central Africa, was also taken out in thesame vessel, free of cost. • MAXIMILIAN.

The liberty which the Attorney-General) has artfully taken with them, by way of "Interpreta tion," evinces, not the intention of Congress,- not the import of the language they employ, butithe intention of Mr. Stanberry and his client; to fritter away by cunning, glosses- and: a bold misuse of technical rules .of eon. struction ' whatever there is in-those • statutes in conflict -with, the claim of power on the part of the Executive to reconstruct and rehabili tate the rebel States. I look upon this mining process as most dangerous. Itt is the scheme ofa special pleader dexterously using the im_plemetto of his art.. Not daring to advise the President boldly to refuse to carry those Imes faithfully into. tlECCUtion,be-wke-to—reitch.th.s. same - end - by-Ins— discretion, and affects to draw from the statutes theinselVes the monstrous conchision. that Cons gress has, by their terms, given legal sanction to. , Mr. Johnson's usurped State Governments—a. sanction that places them all above and indepen-• dent of the military authority of the United, States, although the first Reconstruction act•de— dares in terms that "all interfere Ace under color - of State authority with the exercise of militiirys ' authority under this acct shall be mill and void." If, then, this military authority is exerted in op position to State authority, whiah must yield 7: Mr. Stanberry says the, military authority, while the statute says the action of the State authority is "null antivoid." The supremacy -of-he former• is thus rendered too plain to admit of doubt, and, consequently needs no construction f no special; pleading. Again, the same statute declares it to be the "duty of each officer assignedas aforesaid. to protect all persons' In their. lights of person. and property." Mr. Stanberry s- 'opinion goes upon the ground that there are no rights of person or- property except such as- are created or recognized by the laws of the State, and that therefore this. protection is necessarily subsidiary to those laws, that it isy indeed, their mere handmaid; and, that: in extend ing this protection the military agent of Congress has but to inquire what is the State law, or what is the decision of the State •Coua touching the "right" in question, and is bound to maintain., the "right," in either case, with the•• sword of the United Slates. A volume of testimony, already taken by the Joint most on Reconstruction shows that in most cases this is to deny and with hold protection from the agrieved party rather than give it to him. It is using • the military power of the United States to uphold the very wrong, the eery evilrwhich Congress intended to remove. 'Nothing so amazing or absurd, has, so far as I know or believe, ever emanated ,from an At torney-General of the United States; and you do well to remind the members of Congress of their high duty to be in their seats on the Sd of July, and ready, to interpose stich nowers.as they have to arrest this artfully contrived scheme of evading the force of a system of legislation intended 4 and well and plainly etil' eulated, to restore the Lnion upon the principles of eternal justice, and to give peace to onrwhole country. I remain, very respectfully, your Obedient servant, J. St. ilowrinD. ATAL.I.NTA Gen. Sheridan and His Friends. [From to•day'a New York Timeej The Tribune is' u frisky . ' paper, and we are always ready to make allowance for the "sympa thies of youth." So long as its wit and humor keep above the level of simple imbecility, we shall do our best to laugh at them; and we promise this ;ill the more readily because according to present appearanees, the necessity for making the effort will not last long. But another - - of its habits—that of unveracity (long words are said to be the most polite)—is less endurable. Its assertion that the Miles wishes to "breakdown Sheridan," that it makes an "insidious attack" upon him, and tries to "raise a clamor against an illustrious soldier for doing his duty honestly and frankly," in order to defeat the.work of reconstruction, is one of those bold, reckless misrepresentations for which, in the day,pf its strength, the Tribune achieved a towering reputation. We have sustained Gene ral Sheridan in his official action against all attempts to secure his removal. We have insisted on the wisdom of continuing him- in his office. in spite of what we deem mistakes and defects of conduct an character because he Is • :doing a public service Setter, on the whole; than it would be done without him.:Our action has been exactly the opposite of that charged by the Tribune. Instead of trying to "break him down," we bave'done our best to hold him up=not only against the open hostility of rebels and Copper hizads, but against the farmore dangerous friend -ship of that reckless and selfish school of Radi cals, who seek to make him serve their purposes, whatever cost to himself. • 'The Tribune pretends to consider letter to Gen. Grant eminently "respectful, frank, prompt and loyal to his commanders." Possibly it does think so—as it is quite impossible to .account for its judgment in such matters by any known standard. Hite had hesitated during the war to obey Grant's order to "go in," until ho could hear from him again, and - had assigned as a rea son for so doing that Grant had always before been bitterly opposed to that course, and was "macadamizing a broad road for . perjury and fraud," and if he had published these *respect ful" opinions in a newspaper before sending them to his commanding officer, the Tribune s opinion might possibly have been different. The eases are :not the same, but they are an alo_gous. We consider the whole tone and temper of this letter as "verging on insubordination,.' as we said before. It is not respectful or loyal in spirit to his superior officers. Yet we by no means urge or would approve of his removal from his command. He is a vigorous, prompt, energetic executive, and a man of that stamp is needed for the proper performance of the work he has in Land. It will be far better to overlook the evi dent errors and faults of his langrutke, than to dispense with his services and provoke< new con tentions by his removal. Great Fire at Council Bluffs. °M AIM, Neb., June 25.—A' destructive fire oc curred in Council Bluffs, lowa, last night. The building destroyed is the large and fine brick Em pire Block, the largest and finest block in the city. It was entirely destroyed. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incen diary, who threw rockets bet Ween the block and a frame dwelling-house. The frame house instantly caught fire, and the fire spread rapidly over the whole block. The steam fire engiffeers Unaccountably were delayed until the flue structure was in ruins. The Omaha fire engines were transferred over the Missouri River to the lowa side as soon as possible, and did good service in preventing the spread of the fire.

Let Us Stand By-OurSorvants. • [From to-darn New York Tribune.] The country must protect the men who see . in peril because of their devotion to , Congress. We notice an effort to overthrow the Military Com manders, and especially Gen. Sheridan. The Copperheads are insidiously denouneing and dis paraging him. The Times. which is Republican in quiet times, and against the party when its support is needed, joins in the CCENUTC. To us , Gen. Sheridan is no more than any other Military Commander, and we have no. special support to' give him. TL ei soldier we dismiss from atten tiom But events have made him representative, and, we think it the dutyof the eountryto so eon siderhirn. , Gear Sheridan was assigned to the South-West afterthewar. He was sent• in charge•of an ex pediaon against Kirby Smith, 'where it was thought that officer was dispoeed to conanue the Rebellion in Texas. Smith surrendered, and Sheridan took command.of the Gulf States. He _ Air ing was aniere soldier. We .1. - :Aware that he had any_palitieti---bitt _lf _an, r - he—WSO -a -DaMierat. There was every mPtation Cm him to remain a Democrat, or, at least, to follow the President in his winding way. A West Point graduate, who had been educated among the Indians, could be little of a Radical. He did his 'work in a (plea modest way. Tin. New Orleans riots took place. We have always lamented' his absence from the city at that fatal time, and eon fees never to have heard it properly explained. Evidence now shows that his return prevented another riot. We presume there are , yeasosis why he did not arrest the leaders, under Grant's general order of protection. to loyal men. lettit we think it fair to presume that the fablt was not ! with him. His course after.- the riots was high and intrepid. When Johnson asked him leading questions with the hone of quoting Irina against the Congress policy, he replied that the riot was a massacre,worse than that of Fort Pil low. Re might have answered vaguely,. or avoided the question or maintained a mysterious' silence. But he dared Presidential ' displeasure. When the 3iilitary bill wan passed, he seized- the leaders of the riot. • Having removed them for dislovalty,he removed Wells, a professed Radical, for dishonesty. The work of registration has progressed more rapidly under him than under any other commander. ',-• Now, in response to am inquiry , from the Presi dent, Sheridan gives his. reasons- for hoping that the period of registry will not be extended. The statement is frank, manly, explicit, saying just what was expected and no more, If he had been ordered to act, he would have silently acted. But when we ask a man his opinion, we expect him. to give it honestly.. It is because Sheridan Is honest and sincerely thinks that Stanberry's opinion opens the road to fraud and perjury that he says so to the President. Yet we hear a great - uproar. The Times leads off in exclamations of horror. Sheridan's de patches have never suited that paper, unless when judiciously garbled. Steedman telegraphs all the way from New Orleans that Slieridan should be removed. ' Steedman, of course can see nothing patriotic in our great Captain. He acted differently when he was sent into the South. He foundekerythhig beautiful, anti freali,and charm ing, the country rapidly becoming peaceful, and reconstruction according to Andrew Johnson. a most blessed dispensation. The man who did not find it beneath him tobe the minister of a degrading policy would, of course, demand the removal of one who has always protested against it. • We do not think the Administration will ven ture upon this step. To be sure, we have ruled cap:dole of almost anything but wisdom and pru dence, and in anticipation It is well to speak. The country must notpermit the men who serve, it to be sacrificed without 3 prof t. The soldier Sheridan is nothing to Iv But %a the represen tative of Nationit will—ne minister of a great trust—and a servant who has done his work nobly, we must stand by this Commander In this labor of reconstruction. If we calmly , permit our trusted soldiers to be stricken down for their loyalty, we deserve all the humiliation that the Preside has brought upon us. If we would win thia lliittle we must sustain the men in the breach Lynth Law in Maryland. The Baltimore American of yesterday has the following additional particulars in relation to the lynching which took place last week on the East= ern Shore of Maryland: In Monday's American, mention was made of the hanging of James Pippin, near Centreville, Queen Anne's county; 10t week: From the Centreville Citizen we have: the following addi tional particulars: • • "Just as we are going to press, we learn that a party of fram ten to fitteen went to the house of ,Pippin's father (which is situated about four or fiv e . miles from Church's Hill, in the "big woods') on Thursday night, after his son's return from Easton, and took him out and hung him.. The particulars, as we learn from a party who was at preSant at the inquest, are as follows: The party went to the house about ten o'clock and de mended admittance. Pippin's father, suspicion big harm was' intended, concealed him under the • floor, some planks , being loose. The ,party, however, being convinced that the son was irr the house, set tire to it on the in side, but before much- damagtufwas done,. dis covered his hiding place, and, dragging him Out, took him about one mile from the house, and a short distance into a wood, near the main road, and there hung him to the limb of a small oak/ tree, afterostich the party went away and left' him hanging, He was discovered- early in e morning, but the body was allowed to han u tit a jury of Inqtrest was summoned, which/was between 11 and 10 o'clock. The above are the facts, we understand, as elicited at the inquest and given by Pippin's father. We also undenStattd ‘ that other, parties - have been notified that ey will sharelho woe fate unless they leave t e country. immediately. : ' Pippin bad been charged with bel gan acces sory to the murder of J. Edwin rte, of Queen Anne's county, and was •tried bef re the Circuit Court of Talbot county, and aqquitted. The Citizen says he was also acquit dof 'several lar ceny cases. It is to be hoped hat the • spirit of mob law on the Eastern shore of Maryland will be put down, and the participants in, the murder of Pippin may be speedily, ,brought to justice.

P,Anistert PAGAI , 7B.—The Revue deg Deux Mondeg is publishing a story by . M. Octave Fennlet, the new librarian at Fontainebleau. The following is from? a chapter in ,the last number: "The artificial atmosphere of high Parisian civilization takes away from the women the feeling and the taste of . duty, leaving them only the sentiment and the taste of pipasure. Like the fairy of a theatre, they lose in this brilliant and false atmosphere - the true notion of life in general, and of Christian life in particular; and it may be affirmed that all those who do not retire from the wild eddy and, enter a claibade - (and there are such) are pagans. They are pagans because the pleasures of the senses and of society interest them alone, and • because they have not once in a year an idea, an impression of moral order, unless it is forced upon, them by maternity, which' some of them detest. They are pagans like beauti ful but profane , Catholics of the sixteenth century, thirsting after luxury, rich dresses, , cestky furniture, literature, arts, themselves ; and love; they are charming pagans on, the model of Mary Stuart, and capable, like her, of finding themselves Christians underthe axe; We gPeak, be it understood, of the best, of the elite, otiithose who read think and dream._ Mt° the others,Who hang on to the skirts of Paris,life, with their puerlia clatter; these eill7 creatures who occu their time in =Min_ g assigiiiiffons,fit • =no g oue an otneT•lll4 Oresidtig and 'gossipping, wbo busy themselves night and (layover merenothiuga,, and dace will; a sort Of - uguluess In the - rays of the rarialan sun, without *bought, witisaut paselous or even vice ,— it impossible to, nine any beings Snore despicable."
