The Piz-Hebei Chief on the Result of the Tenner►eo Election—Fears of a `War of Buccal in the South—How It Should be Avoided. MosTrutm., August 15, 1.867.—The ex-Confede rate chieftain from his faithful capital of Montreal still casts an anxious and watchful glance upon the Unsettled affairs of the South, a land where but two short years ago he delighted to reign st ipi e r ue - pw - Ui ru rd s m droif. • But his recent "change of base" to these parts not having been accompanied with all the pomp and circumstance of power has made a great dillerence in the life of this one man. It must be:, it: fact, almost - heart rcilii:g for any ruler anointed of popes to fall from absolute power, unless happening to . be constituted like Maxi milian. Austria's scion. So it has been Mud in the person of Mr. Jefferson Davis. bear ing that title "all short" and no longer controll ing generals and leaders, cabinets and senatess- - and what cabinets and senates at that! Here he is but the chief of a elan, of which the clansmen are too poor or too rich to do him that reverence which w ould nodoubt amazingly smooth the crea king hinges of rusting vanity and render things generally more agreeable unto him. Bereft of power and forlorn! Terrible fate. Air! yes. Though truly,no man's valley of life is throughout strewn With roses, nor are there always smooth waters in the crossing of its rivers. Look yonder at that tall man as he walks unobservedly through. Mon treal streets, on an habitual stroll, and you-will see plainly marked on his face the great lesson given to all to learn, whether we be seep, tread kings or peacock-tailed Presidents, big or little. But it has long ago- been found out that all things in this world of ours are pretty tolerably well minx' up, absolute good or absolute evil being as difficult to meet with as. a Secretary of State disposed to surrender his portfolio 'at de mand. The evil one himself is not so black ashe . is painted. say the French. Thus it is with the renowned personage here residing;. with all his shortcomings, he is gifted with lucid intervals, during whiCh he views things In a very sensible light. For instance, I learn that his observations in regard to the crisis reached in Southern affairs by the Tennessee elections are noteworthy. He holds that there elections, .if not anulled and counterbalanced elsewhere, will have inaugura ted a war between the two. races in the South; and this ho would regard as the greatest calam ity that could befit' not only thg country, and she negro especiallY, but humanity at large. In such a war the negro would inevitably go down, but at a fearful cost: it would be a profitless de struction, whetleas the negroes can and should be made available in a utilitariaa point of view, both for themselves and others. Touching iiiorelminedlutely the result of the Tennessee elections he says that he has not been able to discover any other course left to the whites there thailtheir adopted removal from em ployment of - the blacks. He did not see how the whites could voluntarily keep around them those who were: wittingly or unwittingly, directly aiming to rob them and become their oppressors. The course they had chosen was au untortuuate necessity, "a calamity" to the negroes. for whom he entertained the kindest feelings, but yet it rested on rgason and nature. He illustrated the argument by remarking that, if a people should see lying before them one hundred thousand muskets that could be used against them unless destroyed, there would be strict justification in destroying•or capturing them (if that were pos atildle),as gong as self preservatio* holds a first law of nutuie. He is entirely opposed to an opinion current at the South, that it would bt best for a batch of people to be painted blacker even than by nature and sent to Congress, the legislatures, made governors of, and generally put iu all the high places and the low places in order to create a reactionary sensation. "It might do." sainae, "as a mere matter of intrigue and spite; but It would be an imtuoral precedent to set."—.V. I% Herald. THE ROCKS or CALVARY.—In Flemiqg's "Christology," it is stated that an unbeliever, visiting the sacred places of Palestine, was shown the clefts of MOunt Calvary. Examin ing them narrowly and critically, he turned in amazement to his fellow-travelers, and said, "I have long been a student of nature, and I am sure that the rents and clefts in this rock were never done by nature, or an ordi nary earthquake; for by such a concussion the rock must have split according to its veins, and Where it was weakest in the ad- , hesion of parts; for this," he said, "I have observed to have been one in other rocks when separated or broken after au earth quake, and reason tells me it must always be so. But it is quite otherwise here; for the rocks are split athwart and across the veins, in a strange and preternatural manner; and therefore," said he, "I thank God that I came hither to see the standing monument of miraculous power by which God gives evidence to this day of the divinity of Christ." A SunoicAL Ortii.vrioN IN THE DAYS 01.' TILE IN cAs.—The Britiab edicul Journal says: "M. Broca has presented to the Academy a most remarkable anatomical preparation. It is a•skull found iu the tomb of the Incas four miles from the city of Cuzco. M. Broca believes that the skull belonged to an individual who underwent at the same tune a fracture and a demidatlon of the frontal bone. The curious part of it is that the bone shows traces of liming undergone the operation of tre phining. A circular white spot is visible, which shows necrosis of a portion of the bone; and all around the rarlfled tissue has evidently been the scat of an osteitis, the commencement of eliminative action. M. Nealton has examined the preparation, and calculates that the patient survived the operation about fifteen days. The opening is of a lozenge shape, and about twelve inilime,tres in diameter. M. Broca thinks that the operation was performed with a gouge." AN Excuss OF Goon LucK.—„AccOrding to the !Salt Lake Tetegraph the Green river mines must be very rich. It says that a late report is that one man had discovered •• a nugget weighing fifteen hundred pounds, less few grains. He halt dug around it and loosened , it, so that it was ready for lifting, and when last seen he was sitting upon it tO prevent it being • earried away by anybody else before his own team arrived.

A Philailielphln Boat/ Wins the Pitizea You have, no doubt, alreedy announced the above to your readers, yet it may not be unin teresting to them, or to you, to.hear of the mat ter a little more in detail. The yacht Palmer, the successful boat in this contest, la a PhiladelphLT vessel. She belongs to our well-known and honored fellow-citizen, Captain. R. F. Loper. Her model, the very perfection. of grace and beauty, was planned and furnished by Captain Loper himself. She was built in Philadelphia by Measrs. .Ifirely & Hillman, Philadelphia Mechanics, and therefore we, as Philadelphians, may take an honest pride in her performances. The different vessels connected with the New York Club, in-the arrangements for their annual cruise this season, were ordered-to , rendezvous at Clemson., on Long Island Sound, on Thursday, August Ist. Thence they continued their cruise. stopping successively at Huntington and New London, and finally anchoring in the beautiful harbor of Newport, at the close of the day, on Thursday, August Bth. After much uncertainty in reference to the matter, it was finally ar ranged that the regatta should take place on Saturday, the 10th inst. The yachts intending to take part in the race were ordered to be at a point five miles outside of Newport harbor, on a line with the Beavertail light-house. and the light-boat on Brinton's Reef; by ten o'clock on Saturday morning. But it was ten-o'clock before the Commodore's gun gave the signal to weigh anchor and start for the harbor. An hour was consumed in beating down to the appointed starting place. As the different yachts Arrived, one after another, at this place, some of theta Mose-to and others went beating up and oown, waiting for the signal to start. TO the eye of fancy they all seemed restive and uneasy; like fiery steeds impatient for the race. The course appointed for the race was from the point already indicated, out past Point Judith, across to Block Island, rounding from the southward and eastward a flag-boat statioued-off the north end of that island, and thence back to a bass-boat opposite the north end of Fort Adams, at the en trance of Newport harbor. The distancein straight line, out and in, is about forty miles. But, as the wind was from the southeast, dead ibead, and it was necessary to beat out the entire way, the actual distance sailed was about seventy miles. The yachts assembled at the starting-place to join in the raw, were as follows, in alphabetical order : Alice, Calypso, Dauntless, Eva. Fleet wing, Idler, Magic, Palmer, Rambler, Restless, Sappho, Silvie, Sallie Dey, and Widgeon. About half-past eleven the little steamer Kate came down the bay with the committee on board who had charge or the arrangements. She ranged along the lire occupied by the vessels and gave them, one by one, the signal to start, noting care fully the difference of time between the • starting, of the different yachts. The wind was fresh enough to raise the white-capped-waves and keep them rolling rapidly over the surface of the outspread waters. .The scene now presented was aft animating one. Spreading out over the wide expanse of the sea were these nu merous vessels, varying in size, but all beautiful -in form; some stretching away on thia tack and some on that, their snow-white sails swelling to the wind - and each one bending eagerly to - the work before her,as if resolutely determined either to win the prize herself or to make the winning of it as hard as possible, to another. And now ii was interesting to glance . round the horizon and see how westood in relation to our fellow combatants. Some were standing far off to the eastward, and others were bearing away to the west. The nearest vessel to us was the -Magic. She bugged us closely, but we had no fear of her. This yacht was built by Calat. Loper, . also, and was formerly called the Madgle. She "used to win prizes, too, when Captain L. sailed her, but since then she has got out of that good habit. While watching with interest how we were drop-. ping the Magic astern, there came a freshening breeze 'arid away went her flying jib, all torn to ribbons. While these were yet streaming in the wind she gave up the race, mat down her helm, and turned her bow homewards. The Eva soon followed her example. She is a small sloop with a tremendous spread of canvas. This, with her light draught of water, gives her great advantage in a smooth sea with light winds, I ut unfits her fur buffeting the billows when stiff breezes blow. She started on the race with • a reef in her huge mainsail. There came a lull in the breeze, when 61re shook out the reef, but the wind freshening again, she found it more than she could manage; and so; on the old principle that "the better part of valor is discretion," she pruriently declined the contest And now the flag-boat is in sight, by the help of a glass. We gaze again over the field of con test to see how matters stand. It is evident, at a glance, that the Palmer Islas put .water enough be tween herself and all her competitors to leave us nothing to fear from any of them but one. •'What vessel is that which hangs on So us so closely?" f asked an old salt who was sitting by me on the deck. "That's the Sappho." said he. With all thellery enthusiasm of her classic name sake, she seemed resolved to test the issue of the race with us. She is a new yacht, and has but lately joined the squadron. She is a noble craft, and her builder, who was on board, must have been much gratified with the exhibition of her splendid qualities. But although she had had considerable advantage of us in starting, we had gained upon her till it became a question which of us would turn the flag-boat first. As we neared this turning point of our course the interest be came intensified, till every nerve in one's system seemed to tingle with it. As we approach the end of Bloek - Island the wind stiffens, and, the sea roughens more and more. Now we are about to round the flag-boat. The Sappho is still ahead. The Palmer i s pressing hotly on her _heels. We are near enough to toss a stone on board our rival. On, on the two vessels rush, like mad dened stee ds ,plunging •into the thickest of the fight! We are rounding the:boat! How the wind howls! How the boiling waters foam! How the stretching callvas swells! How -the straining cordage creaks! I found myself Involuntarily holding my breath and looking up to see if some thing would not snap and give way. But no, the noble erfiftcwits stinilach and true from stem to stern. Nothing started. And now the flag-bout is passed, the Sappho three-quarters of a minute ahead, and we are before the wind—both vessels heading directly foisthe starting-point. And Just here were developed the most inter;-' estingincidents of- the day, and honorable alike to each ofthe commanders of the rival .vessels. The Sappho was still ahead. The Palmer- might s have hung on her stern, covering her completely, anti rendering it impossible for her to get away. But the captain of the Palmer is not the man to do a mean thing, under any circumstance. The moment he saw the position of things his manly voice was heard, calling out to the helmsman, in clear ringing tones : "Sheer off, sheer MP Don't blither her! Give her a wide birth and it fair chance!" And off the Palmer sheered, clear out of her rival's way. The captain of the Sappho appreciated the courtesy thus extended to him, and acknowledged it with a gun. And now comes the tug of war. Out of the way of her rival,the Palmer quietly plumes her wings for,the homeward flight. Her light sails are shaken out, and fairly More the wind,she bounds forward on her course. -Now we gain upon the. Sappho. Our bow overlaps her stern. It rakes her mid ships. It is abreast her beam.We have fairly passed her! What true nobility stamps the character of Capt. Lawrence the gentletnanlY - eolinnAuder of the Sappho! There are few moments, in the _experience of life, more trying auto that in which a rival comes by and carries away the prize that seemed to be ours. there is any little& ness in it man's . composition it• will show itself them But there was dealing of this kind devOlOped h4e. Rising OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. After shooting some distance beyond the Sappho, each vessel seemedt to hold her own; and so we kept on our way towards the final flag boat. When off. Point Judith, returning, a thick fog came down upon us. This quite shut out from our view all sight of land, of the other ves sels of the fleet, and for awhile, even of the dim outline'of our persevering and closely-pressing competitor. We kept our course by the compass, seeing nothing save the all-enveloping. fog, but listening- with ears-attent to catch the first sound of the fog-horn, near the Beal - or-tali Lighthouse. 1-never thought before that there was any music in the dismal sound of- that moat doleful instru ment. But it seemed like sweetest melody when It fell upon my listening ear that day. So we kept on till perceiving through the thick mist -the white rocks," up the bay... The next thing was to glide swiftly past the tia4-boat, off Fort Adams, and fire our guns in passing. And then Me You , ?rim vok! The Palmer lord gained the pri:r! The following is the report furnished by the committee on board the flagrboatt of the time made by the different:NJ-age's ;. The Palmer, .Ih. 42m.; the Sappho, -th. 41m.; the Idler, 4h. 551 n.; the Rambler, -tb, 57m.; the Fleetwing, sh. 3m.; the Silvie, sh. Bm.; the Dauntless, sh. 11m. The time of - the others was, not taken. The prize consists of a beautiful-service of plate val ued at five hundred dollars. It was- brought on board the Palmer in a handsome case by the committee of the club appointed tolnanage the race. The committee consisted of Messrs. Moses IL Grinnell, Robert S. Hone and George L. Schuyler. - In presenting the prize 'to• Captain Loper, the Chairman, Mr. Grinnell, expressed tire great sat isfaction he had in doing so, because it was ad mitted by all that his vessel was the fastest vessel in the fleet, and because he had done as much as any other man, or more, to promote the interests of the club. Commodore Stebbins, the Commo dore of the heel, had been obliged to leave for New York the day before the race, being on the eve of sailing for Europe. On hearing of , the result of the race he wrote a very handsome let ter to Captain Loper, congratulating him °mills success, .a letter as honorable to tht writer as- to the receiver of it. It reiterated, in generous terms, the substance of what was stated by Mr. Grinnell in his neat little presentation speech. Thus ends the well-contested race. All honor to the Palmer, Philadelphia's fastest beat; the fastest boat of her class that sails on the world of waters. And all honor to her gifted, gentlemanly, genial builder and Commander. Long may he live to employ the gifts God has bestowed upon him for the improvement of the sailing qualities of our commercial and naval marine. And when 'the race of life is over, and the great prizes of eternity are distributed,,_ may he, and all who Sailed with him, and all belonging to him, be found In the trinniny boat—the boat bullt up out. of the merits and righteousness of that glorious Saviour, "who loved us and washed us from our sins in his awn blood," and to whom all F lory be ,ascribed fokever. AN INVITED GUEST. THE LOBS-OF TACE- 41. S. STEAMER The Boston Journal publishes the following letter, written. by one of the officers of the United States steamer Sacramento, recently lost in the East India waters: - "We went ashore on Wednesday evening, the loth, at about 73.. The shoals at the, mouth the Sambalding River have shifted Out much turther than they were marked on our charts, and, instead of anchoring quietly in Cocanada Harbor, as we intended, we found ourselves bumping away on the bur. We worked as hard as men could work to get her off, from 8 at night until the next morning. when we were obliged to give up all idea of saving the ship, and to think only of getting. ashore ourselves. The men worked very well, and behaved far better than we expected. We hove overboard all our guns, cut away the foremast, discharged over the side all our shot and shell. water, &c. The surLyas very high, and a very powerful current rtinVing - up the river. They say here that a vessel goes ashore here about once 'in three months. The - lights on the coast are all exactly the same, and it is impossible, to judge exactly of. your position. There was no lack of vigilance on the lien of any officers, for we were all watch ing for Cocanada Lights, expecting to get in very soon, and not more than ten minutes before we Struck, I saw the deep-sea soundings taken, and got no bottom at 18 fathoms. But we, were sucked iu imperceptibly by the current, and we only beard the breakers when we first struck, and the seas lifted us 'till we were in 1Z feet of water. We have lost everything—clothes, books, &c. Ou-Thursday morning we built two large and sent them ashore during the day; the first went In all right in the morning, but the sec ond started in the afternoon, and got nearly ashore when it was caught by an eddy and carried out to sea against the'breakers, and at a tremen dous rate, but they were picked up by a Steamer, which fortunately happened to be passing, and put on board of au American ship at Cocanada. On Wednesday night we very nearly lost Harry Lyon. We tried to lower a boat to send around to Cocanada by sea for assistance, but We boat was swamped alongside, and Harry and the crew were spilled out. Oue of the men managed to get a bowline over Harry's head, and we hauled him in very much exhausted, but not hurt. When we sent the first two rafts off, we went to work and built two more,Jne of which succeeded, while the other broke adrift and went to, sea with. no one on board. The same day we got the two launches lowered with considerable difficulty, and filled them up and sent them - ashore. " The second cutter was - upset alongside, and. Water man was spilled out, but we got him again. The first cutter was got-ashore all right", and then the sea was too high to attempt any more with the boats. Mr. Johnson, the captain, Waterman, Lyon, Pete Parker, and myself, with five men, were the inilrones left on beard. We smashed up :dl the Wine, cooked a little coffee, and tried to be comfortable for the night, but it was hard work; the ship was bumping so that we expected her to go to pieces every moment. Friday morning the sea was running very liigli, but two of the boats ventured oil, and the launch anchored inside the surf, while the whaleboat with a crew. of Lasears came up to the ship, and we all got olf. The captain was the last to leave the ship. We all got ashore safe, though we did not expect it. I hauled down the colors just before I left, and brought them with me. We lauded on a sand beach, organized the crew, and embarked In the boats. We had 80 men in our boat, 193 all to gether. We pulled up the Sambalding river about twenty miles, when we came to -a French settlement jilted Sanaa, where we found .quar ters and food. I got asleep at twelve at night on an old mat outside of the house with vermin run ning all over us. The men were roused up at two and got In the boats and. pulled down Co ringa river to Cocanada, which we reached at ,10 o'clock. I was glad sometimes to got hold of a piece of theat,shove it in the fire and eat it almost raw and covered with dirt. When 'lauded I had no shoes, no socks. My whole stock was a, Coat, pants, Crimean' shirt,' under4hirt, drawers, pith hat, 16 rupees, 'sleeve buttoini, gold - pencil, ring, photograph, -sword and revolver. Lyon gave me a pair of shoes, some of the men gnvelue a pair superior to Astral feelings, he generously hailed us with 'a gun as we shot by him- I almost felt a regret that a man of ' so princely a spirit shouid not nave carried off the prize. tertainly he i - rus deserring of it. I feel myself, •as it were, in volunt+trily Inclined to take off my hut, in honor' of that noble man, whenever the thought of his manly bearint recurs, to me. I felt then the force and meaning of the feeling which Scott attributes to Roderick Dhu, when, on discovering the dauntless spirit of the Saxon stranger with whom he was about to measure swords in mortal strife, lie represents him as experiencing "Tha,stern joy that, warriors feel In foernen worthy of their steel."

ANOTHER BANK DEFALCATION IN The Paying: Teller's Default to the Amount of $95,000-4 and front the President oft the Hams. [Frain the N. Y. Tribune to-dny.] Yesterday the financial circles of this city were . ravels startled with minors of heavy. defalcations by the pnyiug tellers of the Tradesmen's National Bark, corner of Broadway and Reade street. OA coarse these rumors were, as is usual in such , cases, much exaggenteed: Trustworthy reports, howe'?er, show that the defalcations are indeed large, amounting in all to about 4;95,000. The de— faulters, James Arnold . and Baker, the first and second tellers, have been employed in the bank over thirty wan: They have ever, until this week, enjoyed the unlimited confidence of the bank officers. They are both married men, and both are. about fifty years of age. What, could have led to the crime with which they are' charged is still a mystery. They have both been hitherto regarded as upright citizens, free from the dissipations which have ao often ruined men of their class in this city, and altogether regarded as really worthy of the trusts repOsed In them. : Not a suspbrion of their lack of integrity had been raised till Tuesday of this week. On that day one of the clerks of the bank found a de ficiency in the accounts of the Receiving Teller, Arnold. He communicated this to the President of the bank. who immediately held an interview with Arnold. The latter, on being questioned closely concerning these accounta, was very much confused, and at: last admitted that he did.-not know how-mueitt his deficiences were. This led to a closer examination, when it was found that the bank had been defrauded by the two Tellers, in the above-named sum of s9s.Ceo. The two Tellers, for a long time, pro bably for a period of four or five years, had been actiug in collusion. Although the fact that a de falcation had been committed was known on Tuesday, it was not certainly known till Yester day morning that collusion had existed between the two Tellers. By any one well versed in the general management of banks it will be per ceived that these frauds could not have been easily corrected except by such collusion, because of the regular balancing of the books each day; with such collusion concealment could not easily be prevented, so long as the books, of the two balanced. The general plan of the two, in brief, was this: When deposits were placed. in the hands of the Receiving Teller, he would make false entries -in his books. He frequently postponed balancing his books till the morn ing following the time the deposits , were made. The Paying Teller, of eourse, had ample time to snake his books tally with the Re ceiving Teller's. In banking, as In all other bu siness, of course trust must' be reposed some where., It is simply -Impossible for the general officera of a bank to know at the time, of every deposit made. The Tellers in this case, of course, were trusted. Had one been honest, 'the crime of the other could not have eseaped speedy de tection. The Board of Directors of the Bank will hold a meeting on. Monday with reference to these defalcations. The defaulters, for obvious reasons, have - not as . yet been arrested.-- The. Pres silent of the Bank publishes the following card: TRAI)EsMEN'S NATIONAL BANK, NEW YORK, Aug. 16. 1867. —Exaggemted rumors in refer- , enee to a defalcation in this- bank being rife, to relieve the anxiety arid apprehensions—of-the stoekholders and public. I :deem it my duty to state that, owing to the dishonesty and collusion of the two tellers (who have enjoyed • e confl uence of the officers and Directors for a' period of thirty years), they have been enabled to defraud the bank to an amount nearly equal to the sum 01 . 05,000. This has been eirected in a manner that no ordinary foresight of the oicers could have prevented, and it is a source of sincere regret that their confidence should have, been so abused. The surplus of the batik, upward - of $450,000, Will be affected to the extent of $75,000 only, the bends of. the defaulting clerks lessen ing the deficiency to this amount. RICHARD BERRY, President. QUEEN VICTORIA* Her Majesty's Health Failing and Ne cessity Quiet and Seclusion. Wroal the London Lancet, Augittq 1..1 When, a fortnight since, we stated that we had good grounds for making public the reasons which prevented her Majesty from appearing at evening crowded assemblies, the statement was accepted by the vast majority of the press and the public as neither exaggerated nor incorrpct. There have, however, been some.exceptions to this rule. These would be scareely.worthy of notice had not the writers assumed that they were more or less authorized to impugn the accuracy of the 4uragraph. Upon a subject of so much delicacy we spolse_with what.we believe to have been a becorniug anti justifiable reserve. Our report was in no respect sensational br overstated: It— was a plain narration of facts, whseb, in justice to her Majesty and to the source from which N• J e obtained it, we felt bound to make public. The appearance of the Queen in public on a recent occasion was followed by a most distressing at tack of sickness and exhaustion, *Melt lasted for several hours. The inner life of the Court is necessarily known to but few; even those in immediate attendance upon the Queen are not always in a position to arrive at a correct knowledge of her :Majesty's real condition. The privacy of the Sovereign should be •is much respected as that of the hum blest of her subjects. There are occasions, how ever, on which that privacy %may be held too sacred. This Is more especially the case when erroneous reports have gained general credence. Then it is right to be known that' her Majesty, with the greatest desire to.fuldi all those duties which appertain to.her dignity or her hospitality, Is occasionally prevented from performing them by bodily sulfering.of a character most difficult to be borne.

Those who have visited him have p be e a full-bearded, turbaned Turk, whose costume is purely Oriental—the popular ideal of a subject of his Highness the Sultan—but an urbane, suave gentleman, thoroughly cosmopolitan in manner and attire. Blacque Bey has spent the greater portion of his life in Christian countries, and his habits arc not at all different from them, his fea tures and prominent characteristic traits being undistinguishable from Christians generally. His Excellency arrives upon the •shores of America with a reputation that has preceded him. For fifteen years he was the first Secretary of the Turkish Legation in Paris, afterwards Chargii d'Affaires in the Turkish dominion , for three years, and then Minister to the Court at Naples, where he remained,. conducting all grave ques tions with consummate ability, until the over throw of King Francis.
