[flprreppondenee of the New York Herald.] VituA Clitrz, July 15, If9i7.—The United States revenue cutter Wilderness arrived here last evening at ten P. M., and although she had been expected for forty-eight hours, and the citizens had awaited some time her arrival in order to pay a proper respect to Madame Juarez, there was yet on the landing place a large crowd of people, who dispersed on being informed that the Madame and her party would not arrive on shore until this morninws The Wilderness left New Orleans at half-past eleven A. M., on Wednesday, the 10th of July, and coming to her anchorage here at 10 o'clock last evening, made a good trip. Nothing of note occurred during the voyage. The weather was fine. The cutter returns immediately this morn ing, and we have but a moment to write. At seven o'clock A. M.; a committee of citizens waited upon the party on the cutter, and an nounced that the people were anxiously waiting to receive the party and pay such tokens of respect as they considered becoming. Your correspon dent was among the party, and• on arrival on board, finding the party at • breakfast. at the re quest of the party joined in the hasty meal. the cutter in the meantime being surrounded by myriads' O small_ boats, tastefully decorated, and bearing the Mexican flag of red, white and green. At this moment the landing place was densely crowded with people, carrying banners and all manner of fireworks, arrayed in their most gor geous apparel. Soon the part} - passed to the small boats, under the immediate direction, and .supervision of, the Captain of the Port,aud proceeded to the landing place, accompanied by a fleet of small boats, and landed upon the soil of republican Mexico, amid the lousiest acclaim, rims, fireworks and the booming of cannon trona Fort Conception. At the cutter the rims, "La republic:l, de los &ga do:, Unidos del Norte." "La republic,. Mexicana." coltltllinghd, and at the landing' Viva la senora expo: a. del I'l:Fidel/ . "Viva neustro el. rite, - "VI), a la Libertad," "Viva la Republica." The distinguimhed party .were then seated' in two of the cite street cars. which were drawn through the cciv by the crowd until they had . reachsd the residence of Senor Don Pasquera, where they were w ok - Cried by their immediate friends privately, and sat down to a well pre pared t•reilkthi.t.

The party are expected to start for the city of Mexico in a day or so, and any news of importance will be communicated relative to their trip. We are having rumors relative to them probable course to be adopted by the republican govern ment. It is more than hinted that no minister or consul now in the country will be recogniZed ex cept those of the United States, and the French, Austrian. Belgian and.

There is no, doubt that Juarez will be' almost unanimously nominated as President. and it is highly proper that - the compliineut should be ex tended to hint, as in-the case of Mr. Lincoln's i-econd term. We are momentarily expecting the arrival of the Spanish steamer from Sisal, bringing us posi tive news as to the disposition of Santa Anna. Celebration Of the FOurth of July In • :Mexico City. CITY OF MEND", July f+, ISo7.—The Corrisul of the United States, through the newspapers of the city, invited American citizens to appear at the Consulate, which would be open at three o'clock on the Fourth of - July, and the Declaration of In dependence read at six o'clock'. The day dawned hrilliantly upon our national flag floating over the CC)I1111's residence, and the . flag of Mexico waving in cordial re-ponse over the 'Palace and other public edifices. 'This was intended by the political chief, D. Juan Josti Baz, as a mark of especial recognition and respect to a sitter republic after the rude shock given to )le , l , :ico by the European Powers. Many citizens called between three and six o'clock at the Con sulate. did the honors and retired, in preparation for the ?Nerious work of the evening. At six the Declaration was read by. the Consul to about siNty persons assembled to hear that grand charter of liberty, which only those who on a iniihor occasion in a foreign land have listened can sully appreciate in its depth of tone and solemn enunciation. Front the Declaration the company were ushered into a large saloon, fes tooned with the United States flags, where a b: udsonie supper was preseuteid. As the viands and the skirmishers Ole- boikks) ffnsappaarea,:r spirits rose, and everything was now ready Tor the regular toasts and the speeches, without which an American in no part of the' inhabitable globe can -convince. himself that he is a patriot or persuade others into a participation of such inalienable conviction. Washington, the constitution-, toasts and wine were duly drunk, excepting itthe memory of Mr. Jefferson—whether becauseis not "the thing" now to remember him. or because in listening to the Declaration enough honor had been paid to the philosopher who reasoned into thought and language the feelings of our forefathers, nobody stopped to ask. The feast now' began to grow `fast and furious." Judge Frederic Half, front California, spoke as only he 'mows bow to speak —harmony and all our dissensions "deep in the bosom of the ocean buried," formed the web and woof of his:discoufse—and after a charming little oration he sat down amid thundering . applause. He had accomplished the en and aim of eloquence —everybody was satisfied. The next orator was the ex-Governor of Missouri during the "confederacy." The stores of ancient learning were brought forth. Xenophon and the retreat of the ten thousand offered a happy comparison, the gentleman convinced the company, to the Legion of Honor then partak ing with their countrymen of the Consuls hos pitality. The ten thousand retreated, but the Legion did not. Both suffered in a foreign cause. In their efforts to.establish the principles of re publicanism, history repeats itself. Xenophon penetrated into the heart of Persia, and the Legion, with its Colonel Green, to the capital- of Mexico. The similarity, all preSent discovered, consisted in the very points of differ ence, and the gentlemen who were made the sub )tet of the orator's remarks felt deeply grateful. The Legion of Honor, by the way, is composed of as fine a set of men of the same number as we have ever seen, and their officers merit teapecr for their behavior and moderation under the most trying circumstances: We only- trust that they may not leave Mexico with the opportunity of confirming the old proverb, "Republics are always ungrateful." - Majorlarkt-formerlrtot-Marylanffi-slate-of Texas, and an emigrei on the general breakup,at the South, said: He hail held out a long time; a. year ago be was not present at the celebration of the Fourth; he had now, however, changed the feelings that' kept him away, and was glad to,-meetials.-countrymen-under--the-old-fiag.he Major's speech; which told all that 'left was thought, but ne'er snweiloxpressed," .went like an electric shock to the heart of every honest man loresent. Continued shouts aim visas echoed the feelings of the company, and We for one thanked God that the hateful distinctions of North and South were trampled under foot. The Austrian band sent by Gen. Diaz, brother . of General Porfirio - Diaz, lent- its music to give higher grace to this happy moment, and the en thusiasm, broke 'out- anew, toasts- followed, glasses multiplied. nINES & SHEAFF. INTERESTI NG FItOM ,111EXICO. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1867. The Consul'spoke upon the remarks of Goter nor Reynolds. He too had a' Legion of Honor, who though not known in the field of battle, had gone through a period equally as trying. During the seige and tyranny of. Alfaquez the flag which then waved over us had been protected from insult by the guard of Americans kept at the Consulate. • 'fo them honor was due,. for he had proved than and found them to be good men and true. Ile drank to that Legion of Hondr, and was seconded heartily by the guests in three rounds, and what we heard somebody call most unexpectedly a "tiger," which expression shouted out in a rapid stentorian voice, startled us ex-. tremely for an in. tint. As Mtirquez had been re peatedly graced with that epithet, we thought he might have taken advantage of "the flow oaf soul" to claim the protection of the Consulate from those who were seeking him with the eagerness that only hatred knows. General Diaz's health was drunk with, the honors; Mexico toasted and answered for by a Mexican officer, who concluded to go out in verse of short measure and infinite utterance. Meanwhile the Austrian band discoursed sweet music and harmony. These poor fellows have taken service with General Diaz's brother, for they have breathed the air of America, and how ever turbulent, it is preferable to the sluggish at mosphere of Austrian rule. Rockets and other fireworks on the Azotca ri valled the lights and stars in the hall below, and the quick report of champagne corks told the progress of the feast.- Lights begtm to mark the waning night, and the Consuls' guests, highly gratified withtheir entertainment, no longer wished to trespass upon the kindness of Mr. Otterburg and his patience after the fatigues of the day spent for their reception. All retired at twelte o'clock, leaving lorthe morrow the plea sant recollections of another Fourth, come and gone, over a united land and powerful republic, such as would have appalled the' fathers 'of '76 even in the conception. , Concerning Confiscated• Church Property.

TIRE DREADERTE TRAGEDY IN ',TER- Mo'iT. Later and Interesting Particulars. [Prom the Boston Poet.) • BEt.i.t)NN't.'`FALis (Vt.), July 24.—The staid, so- ' A ber and serious denizens among the green hills of Vermont, where a portfolio of crime or a chapter ' of murder is seldom opened, were, on Tnesday morning last, startled and surprised at the an- nouneement, embodied in the brief and hurried particulars of one of ,the most brutal, atrocious and cold-blooded murders ever perpetrated in the State. The scene of this most horrible and unpro voked tragedy was near Weathersfield, one of the most quiet, and enterprising little villages in the whole State, and only a few miles from Windsor, where the State Prison is located. l_Tp to this writing (Wednesday night) the excitement created by this foul murder is most intense, extending not only over the whole county in which the deed was committed, but throughout the entire State, and all through the immediate counties of New Hampshire. So in tense is the excitement that it is almost impossi ble fodyour reporter to winnow out of the con fused massif particulars anything like a full and connected account of the horrid deed. Every body seems to be .astounded. Neighbors, eiti r zens and officials are entirely nonplussed. Mar der-r.a crime almost entirely unknown iu this sober and exemplary Commouwealth---nerves its, bloody perpetrators to deeds most foul, and here, among, a serious, Christian people, writes one of the most tragic chapters to be found within the whole range of criminal story in America. On Monday night lust, or rather about three o'clock Tuesday morning, as the evidence indi cates, a Frenchman by the name of Williams, who had been employed as a farmhand by Mr. Gill Gowing up to the ist of June last, and who, on making a settlement with Mr. Gowiug had some dispute in regard to wages, threatening at the-time-to-l*t_even,lAcalled at the_ resideuce.of Mr. Gowing, and after arousing the houseWd7 and' giving his name as that of a neighbor (Mr. Hitchcock), inquired for Mr. Gowing, saying that the cattle were in his corn-field, and he had bet ter get up immediately. Mr. Gowing arose, 'and --wentdirectly-to.the-doorrand_on_opeeing.it.mns felled to the floor by a leverin the hands of his murderer.. This done, Williams, went to a par ticular corner of the house where Mr: Gowing' was in the habit of keeping his working. tools, andgot an axe, with which he returned, and with one blow split open the head of 'his victim, driv ing the. axe some distance into the door. . The confusion Incident to the murder had aroused Mr. Gowing's wife, who was sleeping in An adjacent room. Hearing her screams, the m.urdererentered.her apartment and with the axe yet dilpping blood of his first )40.0.61! OUR . WHOLE COUNTRY. struck the defenceless woman in the neck, nearly severing her head from her body; This done, he espied an innocent little Mid, apparently asleep, in a trundle bed. The Send carefully shoved the trundle under the bedwhere the dead mother was lying, and then proceeded to make his search for treasure. Tie first split open a bureau in the bedroom, the blows of his murderous axe leaving blood stains and clotted hair wherever it fell. Finding no treasure here, he proceeded to ransack other localities of the house, : prosecuting his search for nearly half an hour after the last murder. During all this time the little child, a girl some thirteen years, instead of screaming as she heard the dying agonies of her father and the last prayerful pleadings of her mother, feigned to be, asleep, with the sheet drawn closely around her head, she INV unmolested by the heartless murderer of her parents. Besmeared with the blood of his two victims, Williams now left the house, his search for money being unsuccessful, notwithstanding there was between five and six hundred dollars concealed in the bed where the murdered woman was lying. After leaving the scene of his double murder, he quietly proceeded to the house. of a neighbor only half a mile distant, td engaged to work through haying. After remaining in the hay-field for some two or three hours he asserted that hewas quite un well, and quitting the field, started for Windsor, evidently with the intention of making his escape by rail. On the road to Windsor he was over taken by a,gentleman in a carriage who gave him a ride. The news of the murder had preceded him, and.the evidence of the little girl.who recog nizud Williams by his \ I 9ICC. led to his arrest di rectly after his arriv6.l at Windsor. When taken into custody he feigned to be surprised, but at the same time was greatly agitated and nervous, betraying all the premonitory evidence of 4. conscience-stricken „offender. . He was taken to prison,and as soon as possible • a hearing was had and he was fully committed. The news of the terrible tragedy spread like wildfire,and before steps could be taken to secure au inquest the quiet homestead of the murdered wifeand hMband, father and mother, - was visited by thousands of people. The village of Clare;- intuit, N. H.. being nearly deserted, business was kupended and every - available conveyance pressed into service to carry the anxiousond curious to the bloody scene. Mr. (lowing and his family had resided for some six or seven years in thakvieinity, and were most highly esteemed by all Who kneW them. Mr. G. was not only a-farmer. but was also an extensive dealer in cattle and horses—always keeping large sums of money in his house for this purpose, -whielp-his murderer--well . . , .

(From the lilwalikee j On Sunday a steamboat load of Norwegian im migrants arrived in this city, fresh from the laderiondt avant the sea. Attending the arrival of these people there are always incidents which are worthy of a., passing notice. The arrival of those on Sunday was no exception. ..:11.1.10Dg the immigrants was a Norwegian who was accompanied by two children, one about 12; the other abouilli years of age. The man'had come offwith his little ones to seek a home in. Minnesota. On the dock there were gathered a number of Norwegians who had lived here for a. ntinitx4l of years ' and Who were ready to e xtend A welcome to those just seeking the shore. Among these was a woman who stood near the dock. She appeared to take lit A Interest in the people as they came out from the, boat, and the bustle attendant upon seeking for baggage and having it properly chequed to their new homes. Yet she cheerfully gave advice when it was asked for. She gave a glance at the immigrants as they . came forth-gftst a glance to see it she knew the parties, and would then turn away. She had evidently satisfied her curiosity, and was about to turn away and go up South Water street, when her attention seemed riveted to the stranger and the two children spoken of. From a glance the look changed to one of earnestness, for a moment, when she gave a slight scream as it of • astonishment, and sprang forward. Grasping one of the children in her arms, she hugged it to her bosom and kissed it many times, and the second one she treated in the same manlier. The children were surprised and began to cry. The woman tried to dry their tears and' sobbed herself the while. Meanwhile the father of the children was attracted to the spot by the scene. Ile, too wi . t,s;,..surpriscd. He look at ,the 7j -. ‘ --- " 7; ';'77i , l'Tcs, ....at.ti ', Jpo Ma who was saint; ) 1y.e . 4 '; 4 li * , -,t. 'tsar started. The children china' t iirl4l.l,''% i - h e the Woman' appeared very much abashed, but hung her head :111(1 sobbed loud enough for all to hear. In a Sew : momenta . the :mim, . jeadiug, the children one :iy each 1ntud......- , took them to one corner of the shed , which protects the immigrants from the' sun, and . beckoned the woman to follow. She appeared to do so not only willingly but earnestly. In that corner the men and woman were engaged in earnest con versation for some moments,. and when they same forth, the woman had dried up, her tears and a smile had taken their place; the man, too, seemed happier than when he went forth. He searched around among his baggage, selecting it out and giving directions as to where it was to go with as happy a manlier as if lie had just found a fortune. The woman stood oil one side,' but she clung to the children as if she felt . afraid they would be 'separated from her. Naturally inter ested in what, was going ou, we inquired of our friend Paul Mondean, who was making himself useful in getting the Immigrants fixed out,-and Paul soon tound the story. The woman was the wife of the Norwegian and the mother of the two children. Some years before she had been led to leave her home and her hus band and her-babies and fly with ' a stranger to this country. The new life soon lost its charms for her, and she wits left alone to toil on. She supported herself here in the city by hard labor, and lived on, hoping, she hardly knew for what. Many bitter tears she had shed for her children, whom she did not believe she would ever meet again. Sunday morning she "learned that a load of Norwegians was to come in, and she went down to the boat hoping; yet scarcely expecting, to meet somebody who could bring news of her husband and little one?;. In stead, she met them. The husband was not loth to forget and forgive-the woman was very anxious to be forgiven, and the hearts which but . a few hours before had been Riled with sadness were now made happy. The train which went -to Minnesota last evening took the . party, husband, wife and children, and a merry little party it was to all appearances.

Times were dark. We had been beaten on all sides. The country was under 'a cloud. It wanted a victory. Communication with the fleet below the fort was demanded. It was death- to allow things to.remain as they wore. 'lt was only death if he did not succeed. 41e thought all, the boats could have followed hint thoy Would-;-none did. Even the vessel lashed to his would have turned back if it could have got clear. The Admiral said he' wed his success hi life to a resolution he early made in life, and to his habits and the company he kept. His father was in the navy: President Jefferson - sent him to NeW Orleans to look after the treason of Burr. The Admiral entered, under his father. when he was eleven years old. Ile had all the vices corn iron to rniaithipmen, which vices were looked upon often as accomplishments. -Ile drank, he swore, he went Into gay company, he smoked, had expensive habits, and was decidedly' fast. Few men that had those vices ever rose to emi nence in their profession. Farragut resolved to rise, and he resolved to cut off all habits and so-. eiety that hindered success. In a day he became an abstainer. He ceased to smoke; he bowed down .to study; he abandoned dissipation; he shook off bad company. From the age of .thirteen till now he .• never resumed either- the practices or the company. • le said that one book he rend when he was a lad decided his character for a daring seaman. When a boy he read the brave act of the naval commander at Quebec, who landed his troops in the face of his foe; and gained a decided victory over the French, simply by dash and pluck. The British fleet lay before Quebec. The place was fortified, and the attempt to land was deemed rash. The officers of the army were opposed to landing, and called a council of war to prevent the brave admiral from carrying out his purpose. On one of the ships was an old Scotch captain, bold, brave and pious. The admiral signaled him aboard the ship. He told his purpose, aod in funned him of the proposed council. The Scotch man replied : " Keen away froni the council of war, it is a coward refuge. Land your troops, if you think best. and fight it out." The admiral decided td do so.

The rive • Cent Nickel Intitutors... Caught in the Act of llittinfacturing. [From the ('inchmati Commercinl, July 24.) A very important - branch-of-the-"eoneyl= or counterfeiting business has been. of late, that of manufacturing, dealing in, and "shoving" the imitations of - the five cent nickel coins. The counterfeits. are as plentiful as, the genuine, and as readily passed in small transactions of change. It is a notorious fact that many of the market hucksters and"corner - confectioners and fruit dealers have been very well supplied with -coney," not• only in postal currency, but hi these same nickel coins. How they happened to come into nossession.of so ninny of these bail pieces, and with whom they could deal to be thus pro-. vided, has long been quite a problem to the detec tives of the West. Much time has been spent by the "fly-coppers" of the Treasury . Department in the effort to detect the source from which coma the .five-cent nickel coins, and 'without success; until yesterday,.when a Cineitinati 4 dett."..--:.7., an assistant from Indianapolis, solved the prinp; -- km in a most complete and creditable manner. Several months since United States Detective Quinton gained a point that led hint to the belief that a very extensive manufactory of these five cent nickel coins was in existence in this city. Acting upon the information thus gained, and as sisted byDetective Ritbv,of Indiana,he followed up the matter closely until he was enabled.yesterday, to place his hand upon the men and the tools— no inconsiderable trinniph.in the detective busi ness!. The trail led to the fourth story' of a build hig on the north side of Third street, next west of the Henrie House. A rear room of this fourth floor had been, for sonic time, occupied by a mys terious couple of men who 'passed themselves off as paper-hangers, but were, in reality, busily. en gaged in melting metal, moulding counterfeits of thetive-cent pieces, and selling the same to the men who carried the "boodles," by the thou sands. L'id to noon of yesterday these choice rascals carried on a brisk business in their own way, en tirely undisturbed. .At about one o'cliick, how ever, they were startled by the kicking in of their well,bolted door by Quinton. Ruby, conveniently posted. watched their windows. The first kick • at the door was followed by the falling of heavy packages of-coins upon the low roof beneath. The • second kick brought forth several. moulds and a quantity of Metal,. The third kick happened to burst the lock, and Detective Quinton, with Ruby at his heels, stood in a room in which. glowed a briskly-burning fire; beneath - 'a - furnaece 'keine 'Jibed with metal, and before which stood the two "col:dilat ers," stripped to the waist on account of the heat, and just preparing to throw fire, furnace and all out of the window, in pursuit of the articles already dropped. But they Were "dead to rielits" when the -cops" entered, - amid could only hand over their wrists for the "nippers." The disturbance thus produced had aroused the quiet and innocent fellow-occupants of the counterfeiters, and their utaatt burs., who, sup posing- that a serious tight was in progress, sent to the neighboring; police station, on Hammond street, for the police. Lieutenant Deitch and Sergeant White promptly responded to the call, and arrived in time to assist in the arrest and see enough to make them good witness, for the United States. The two men thus arrested gave their names km as Louis Bell and Louis Benno. They were taken to the United States Court, together with their tools—five moulds of five pieces each and the furnace—fifty pounds of metal, and life thousand counterfeit pieces, and were sent to jail, to ap pear before Commissioner lialliday for examina tion on Thursiday next. Fire at Long Branch. Yesterday afternoon, at Long Branch, just as the guests at the various hotels were going out for their customary after-dinner drive, the alarm of "fire" was raised at the lower end of the espla _mule, where the Mansion House Hotel, S.
