ELIZ klsh rti, N. J., July, B.—On Sunday morn
lug, between 1 and 5 o'clock A. M., the house of
Miss Kellogg, known as the old Fay mansion,
situated on Rahway avenue. about half 'a mile
from Elizabeth, N. J., was entered by burglars,
and .$1,500 worth of jewelry abstracted, the
property of Mr. Whitehouse of Jersey City, one.
• of" the 'hoarders. The thieves entered the sleep
ing apartment of Mr. and Mra. Whitehouse
_ through a window almost on a' level with
' the lawn. having first, it is supposed, im
pregnated the atmosphere with chloroform. The
(robbery was not discoverell until 5!.4 o'clock in
the morning, when Mr. Whitehouse woke and
found the sus burning with full force. On ex
amination of the room he found that.the thieves
had tal?en away his pants, a jewel-case, contain
ing some pins, earrings, bracelets and rings,
valued altogether at about $1.500,-besidt-:9so-in
currency. The jewel-case lay on a bureau in the
room. within easy reach of the robbers. A
watch, belonging to Mrs. Whitehouse, hanging
on an
,arm of the mirror,and almost touching the
box, was fortunately unnoticed by thefliieves.
The depredators managed their business.so well
that no alarm was given, and consequently they
estaped with their plunder, leaving, however,the
empty jewel-case and the clothing in front of the
house.
The house of Mr. Parker, within a few blocks,
was also entered on the same evening, by, it ,is
supposed, the, same party, but nothing was taken
a war except a small umbrella. It would appear
that 7 M7... Parker's house was entered for purely
convivial purposes, us the unbidden guests merely
helped themselves to some cake and wine, and
the umbrella, though„, considerable silver was
within reach. Robberies are of frequent occur
rence in . the vicinity, of Elizabeth, the thieves
managing, in most cases, to, escape detection. •

A Radical Peace Convention.
Worreepondenee of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
soi:ttr - ,-r, R. 1., July 1, 1807.—We have been
holding a Radlcal Peace Convention that has
proved remarkably interesting: Levi K. Jcrslin,
of Providence, was apointed Chairman, and Mrs:
C. 11. Rand and Mary L. Stimpson, of Providence,
secretaries. Among the most important resoltt
lions were the followthg
Resolved; That no war can be prosecuted-with
out utter disregard of "the inalienable right to
111 e," as wholesale man-killing is the first requisite
in all warfare. Enlightened States accord the
right of life to their criminals; but barbarous war
slaughters thousands of innocent men, and the
assumption that we recognize the "Inalienable
right to life - is asharn and u cheat. •
Resolved, That the burden of war falls mostly
upon the common people-r-lia times of conflict by
their blood, their wounds and their lives; and In
times of peace by the war tax.
Benatred, That to preach the fatherhood of God,
the brotherhood of man, , perfeet love to God and
man, the golden rule, the sacredness of all the
Christian principles, and yet to justify war, is to
Kenekirreconcilable contradictions.
Rerared That th ecauses thatto wrif
lead and
the conditions that make for peace are vital ques
tions, and we therefore battle with spiritual wea
pons for universal human rights.
Rev. Min Ballot', estf Massachusetts took a
prominent part. Speeches were also delivered by

and others. • •
Mr. Lc Poor, Rev. John Boyden and W. H. S.

tlects of a paralytic attack received while ad
ilressing an audience on the 4th inst. Must of
I:! rt.( tubers of his family were present at the
time of his decease. The lolling bells, the half
fitaSted flags, anti other exhibitions of sorrow,
gave evidence that the entire community realized
Weir great loss in the death of this estimable
man, who was no less beloved for his private
irtuts than honored for the uprightness that
characterized his public career."

Mr. King was elected Governor of this State
tv the Republican party. in . the stormy .and ex
citing campaign that resulted in -ihe election of
Mr. Ruch:ma:l to the Presidency.. His admini
stration of public atfaing was marked by inte
rily and statesmanlike ability. There was not in
the Suite a gentleman of purer personal charac
ter, or of a more unsullied political reputation.
While he was alWays true to his party he was
never, in anyinsta nee, false to the cause of free
-
His death was sudden and unexpected. He was
present, In his usual health, at a meeting of the
Jamaica Literary Union, on the 4th inst.. and was
vallid upon to speak: While in the act of ad
dressing the andience^he was observed to exhibit
evidence of sudden illness, and to lean on the
table for support. He was conveyed from the
stand fainting, and was shortly after taken to his
hoine by his son, Mr. Richard King. ()u medical
assistance being called it was found that his left
side was paralyzed. He continued to sink away
rlpidly and expired yesterday afternoon, in the
eightieth year of his age.

have more news iron' Custar by a courier who
just came into headquarters. - It appeiirs: that
Custar, after traveling live days in the direction of
Ithe Republican, struck the trail of the Sioux and
Cheyennes, which he declares to be the same
whom Hancock drove from their village at
Pawnee Forks. lie saw no Indians save a
small squad standing on a hill about ten miles to
the westward, with were apparently watching
him, as they instantly made off as they saw a
squad of caval q detach themselves from the main
body of Custar columns. On reaching the bluff
on which the Indians had stood, they could see
no traces of them; they had disappeared. Gen.
Custar has instructions to bear down upon the
Smoky Hill, Beaver, and Turkey Creeks, also the
Republican -River, where it has been aicertaintxl
On re are übdut, 1,500 Indians.

Big Timber were suddenly attacked by a large
number of Indians, who tired a volley upon the
coaches. The passengers instantly got up , and
;lowed themselves' alongside the coaches. But
one driver, not being able to check his frightened
mules,
drove when the passengers com
nienced.to run.to keep up waif thecoaches.' One
coach dashed on to the station, while the other,
M Lich contained four passengers and two sol

Indians. The corporal, who was in corn

mediately with some soldiers to the rescue.

W. S. Hanlon, Mr. Buries and Mr. Cisco speak
in very severe terms of the men in the foremost
touch: Inside were eight soldiers and one '
married passenger. On the arrival at the station,
the corporal in command had to threaten their
lives to compel them to hasten to the res
cue of the coach. For - three days these
two coaches were surrounded by a band of about

Gen. Hancock. who came on with them the next
day. The party arrived safely on the 93d at
Denver, leaving Gen. Hancock with his escort of

Maj.-Gen. ;Hancock has reached Denver; prepara

guard the frontier. Gen. Gibbon Gen. D. P.
Bradley, Major James Van Woast, itith infantry,
Major A. Chambers, Recorder,
have arrived
safely at Fort Reno, on the way to Phil. KearniTy.
You will remember that the above gentlemen
were detailed by Gen. Grant as a military Court of
Inquiry In the Phil. Kearney massacre. Two
wore new posts have been established in the De
partment of the Platte by Major-Gen. C. C. Au
gnr, commit/dim , . One new post is to be estab
lished on the Big Cheyenne River, and another
between Fort Cheyenne, and, Fort Berthold, thus
forinjng . a regular chain of forts from Fort
Kearbey via Reno, to Forts Randall and Beaton.
Some time ago it was stated that Fort C. F. Smith
was besieged'by hostile Indians, and that them
were prospects of starvation for the garrison. A
datachiment of volunteers, under Major-General
•Thoroughman, is within two weeks march 01 the •

Gen. Gregg, commanding an expedition sent
against the Apache Indians, is pushing on the
war with vigor and prudence. 'rho Apaches are
committing depredations between Hardyville and
Prescott, and volunteers have been culled to go
after them.—.Y. Tribeme.

they do not take, care, the English cavalry.will
lose their credit, and cease to " witch the world
with noble horsemanship." They made rather a
doleful exhibition of awkwardness in the late re
view at Windsor, Even the "Life. Guards,"
those darlings of the London fair sex, did not
conic off very brilliantly, as a coupiwof them hit t,
the dust ingloriously at an early beriod of the
manceuvering..- In &Jitter charge r several-cm-4*m
were unhorsed, anti some instances both steed
and rider came down together. Indeed, one poor
fellow had a narrow escape with his life, being
dragged several hundred feet by his heavy boot
catching in the stirrup. To cap the climax, byi
another phase, of awkwardness, a member of .a
volunteer company blow his finger off with 'his

-- Sisal - on - the - tidiarrived — at — this port on - the 25th
instant, with ninety-nine passengers.
Among the most notah.le of the refugees by
said steamer I noticed General Taboada, who
commanded the .imperialist forces in Vera ' Cruz,.
and whose doings on the arrival of Santa Anna
gave rise to the old item's. last fiasco. Na less
than eight individuals of his family accompany
him.
Another notable eharacter, the high mighty ex
imperial Commissary of Yucatan, Salazar liar
regui, has arrived in the Spanish steamer. The
fact is that Merida had to surrender at last, after
a fruitless and disastrous resistance, and now the
whole of Yucatan is in the hands of the Liberals.
General Santa Anna had been removed from
Sisal to Campeche, where the populace Were very
much infuriated against him. The General was
sent there in a small gunboat, and when he was
taken ashore he recurred to the magnificent re
ception he met with in that eity in the year 1825,
as Commandant General so different to that
which awaited him in 13167. From the mo
ment he put his foot on shore, the
populace, composed of all castes and
colors, got up a tremendous hue and
my in the most insulting - terms, 'and the leader
of this mob approached the General so near
thatr,he found it necessary to repulse him rather
roughly himself. These violent proceedings,ho w
ever, were th.cidedly disapproved of by the res
pectable part of the inhabitants. The General
continued in prison, without any communication
whatever With outshlers; but in case any tumult
were to break out among the mob, demituding
his life, it NV:IS, not improbable that he would be
sacrificed to their fury, just as was thm case with
General Espejo' ' Senors Govantes, Avila and
Ponce, after the fall of Merida. - Espejo was the
Military-Commander of Galquisnini; Nicolas Go
vantes, Prefect of Campeche, and N. Ponce, Pre
feet of the Island of Carmen. They were all shot
on the 20th inst.
It was currently reported and believed in Cam
peche that documents of a very important nature
tad been found in the , possession General Santa
The teems fur the surrender of Vera Cruz to
General Benavides had beed s' ned.
Aletrer datmnera Uru. z, Dith - inst., - to the fol
lowing effect, has been received from a Liberal
source: Senor Carran, one of the richest and
most prominent merchants in Vera Cruz, is at
Sacrificios just now, where he is making arrange,
ments with the imperial commissary for the
capitulation of. Vera Cruz to General Benavides.
Under these ciremustances.the feelings among
the three preVailing parties grow desperate. The
garrison appears determined to do anything
rather than surrender. The Republicans,joined by
the American and English Consuls, are for sup
porting Juarez, and the pygmy party, led on by
a , few military chiefs; would like to pro
nounce for Santa Anna; the latter party sent
a commissioner by the last French steamer
to Havana—the France---to lOok.for Santa Anna,
presuming that the General went on in Ihe
, Not meeting with him he proceeded to
w York: Everything is in a most disorganized
state, and the disorder increases daily. which may
at last prove disastrous. In the Plaza de Annus,
:u at the corners of the principal streset.:.- - un&
here been placed since-the
,16th ult., and the next
day seven earthworks, mounted with artillery,
were thrown up. The consternation is general;
a conflict is inevitable, and before long the hour
fc r thirst for blood and vengeance 'may arrive.
Senor Curran has arrived since the above from
Saerificios; on reaching the wharf General To
beads committed violence on him by wrenching
out of his hands a despatch he brought for the
American Consul, as also a free pass which the
Prefect had -granted him to go to Sacrificios. The
General desisted afterwards from his purpose,and
will probably be banished.
In a hot discUssion which the commandant of
San Juan de LTIoa Castle had with the Imperial
Commissary, the former told him that he was too
timid to confront the actual situation, and that
the Commissary ought to give up the command
to him. As the latter resisted, the commandant
reminded him that the_castle was under his„Cornr
mend, and that he could place his artillery in
such a way as to sweep away all the im
postors that were in the city; trod; sure: enough,
seven pieces of heavy calibre_ havc_ appeared
mounted towards the city. The parties have since
had another meeting, and Bureau having become
very much alarmed, it has almost been decided
that he resigns his post in favor of this Perez Go
mez, whose second was then to take command of
the castle, and General Cuevas would, in that
case, be named General-in-Chief and Director of
the Artillery.
The Imperialist accounts arc now exceedingly
meagre, and it may be presumed that henceforth
they will keep so. However, I must give you
what I get,., •
It is reported from Mexico that General Mar
quez made a sally by the Nino Perdido road,
with six thousand meni and succeeded so far as
to introduce a large convoy. A light ensued,
and the Republicans suffered severe losses in
dead and wounded, while Marquez made - muny
prisonerS.
Accounts from San Luis Potosi state that
Marquez had imprisoned several families of the
Liberals, which, together with other prisoners, he
was determined to have shot should the lives of
Maximilian and his generals not be saved. Mira
men's wife had implored Juarez personally to
pardon her husband—she was well treated and
received a few words Of consolation—but It was
rumored that the prisoners- of Queretaro had
been sentenced to death, and that the Cabinet of
Juarez were, in deliberation on this matter.—

The English ScuMrs , Race for Four
Hundred Pounds.
. [From the London Timm Jane i 5.)
In our impression yesterday we gave an ac
count of the race on . l3aturday between Sadler
and 'Co\oper, from Putney to Mortlake, YeAter
day there was another foul, and this time a mile
from starting. One would suppose that. after
what took place on Saturday, and the remarks
made on the subject, the men would have avoided
the slightest chance of a foul. Although Ole North
countryman refused to row again, after the man
ner in which he WIIS treated on Saturday,when the
opinion seems Mlle that he ought to have had the
money, we are given to understand that his party
, took legal advice and decided to row. About
three o'clock the Northerner and Kelley, his
mentor, rowed from Putney to Wandsworth and
spurted home, Cooper having certainly improved
since Saturday. Mr. Brickwood was referee; Mr.
Messenger, an ex-champion, umpire for Sadler,
and Heath for Cooper, while the former was
shown up by flanunerton and Ccioper by Kelley,
the chatepiin. Betting was varied, but Sadler
was strongly favored. Cooper, as on Saturday,
had the choice of station. He got a lead of half
a length, but Sadler reduced it to a quarter at the
Star, and the former ; spurting, resumed the lead,
drawing nearly clear at Simmons.
Both rowed wide, and a magnificent race to the
London Boat HouAe found Cooper clear. Cooper
then got away as Sadler passed in towards him..
As they crossed the river and encountered heavy
water Cooper, to the surprise of all, showed him
self the better man in it; but as he caught four or
five crabs Sadler was not left fur astern. At the
Point Cooper bore towards Sadler, but the for
mer got away again, and again caught several
crabs, nearly going overboard. At 'the Dung
wharf be led by a clear length, and looked an
easy winner, bat as they passed Rose cottages: ,
Sadler-drew-up;-and'they's - OneOrintered - a liargo—
near the Crab Tree. Cooper stuck to the barge,
and Sadler, coining with a rush, fouled him,
going , on with the lead. Cooper rowed a few
strokes, and then ceased, and Sadler got home
six lengths ahead.
The stakes were aded to Sadler on the foul
but the decision was re ved With much disk
