Dr. Holmes continues his "Guardian Angel,"' and Eudora `Clark gives us another instalment of her interest ing "Hospital Memories:" "Prophetic Voices About America," by Charles Sumner ; "Sunshine and Petrarch," by Colonel by "The Jesuits In North America," George E. Ellis: " Canadian Woods and Waters," by Charles Daw son Shanty, are all good papers. The poetry of the number consists of "The Nightingale In the Study," which is scarcely up to Mr. Lowell's .mark, but is still very pretty; "The Mystery of Nature," well versified by Theodore Tilton, but without a particle of originality; and "The Blue and Gray," a touching song of the war, by F. M. Finch. We observe in the Literary Notices a most absurd criticism upon Jean. Ingelow's new book. It' is some time since we have seen such a splendid bit of Boston. The "Story of Doom," according to the Hub, is "an unusually dreary copy of Tennyson's 'ldyls,'" and really. 'pon my word, "makes the history of Noah more than erer improbable." "Laurance" is "scarcely to be read without laughter," and "Winstanley" is "factitious and of the library." "The Dreams that came true" are awarded just "one inspired line," and would have been much improved if done-hi-prose. --Poor- .Miss- Ingelow's.faneimare.. so "weak and unruly" as to be "too obviously unpleasant for comment," and the unhappy critic at last breaks down under the "bewildering statement" in the Song with a Prelude, beginning " Yon moored mackerel fleet," an exceedingly pretty and original fig - trre.

Dr. Bushnell continues his "Moral Uses of Dark Things," in which the subject of Physical Pain is discussed. "Tom Hogan's Great Fortune," "Min hgers'fiunshine," "Lang Sync Sketches," "A Visit to Andersonville," are among the principal articles. "How to Use a Dictionary" is by a be nighted devotee of Webster. "Storm Cliff" is continued, and there are several pretty poems in terspersed through the number. •• • "Our koung Folks" for September is a lively number. "Cast Away in the Cold" is continued, and is illustrated with a full-page illustration from a design by Church. "Blunder," by Louisa E.

"A Deer Hunt in the Adirondacks," by Susan N. ,Carter, will be read by the boys with great interest. -Swimming," by Chas. J.

Two additional chapters of Henry Kingsley's long-lived " Sileote of Silcotes" . are given, and other.articles of current interest. VTI. Plottingb Again..t Sainave—lteport on the Finances • During Gettruni 7 s Reign—Brigandage. By the arrival at this port of the brig Margue, rite. from Port an Prince, Hayti, advises to the 3d lust. have been received. The partisans of the late government were busy plotting — against Sainaye's administration. Several arrests of influential parties had been made, both at Port au Prince and St. Marc. Some foreigners resident in Hayti had been ex pressing sympathy with the malcontents, and these arc warned by the government, through the official organ, the Monitenr, to be more guarded in their language and to abstain from interfering in the internal affairs of the country. The Go vernment, says the same paper, has taken the most energetic measures to insure the mainten ance of public tranquillity, and feeh3 itself strong in thesupport of, the people. Meanwhile it is prepared with a series of financial measures which wilt produce great benefit to all classes of society, and which will be put into execution with the least possible delay. The committee appointed to examine into the public accounts under Geffrard's administration and the state of the Treasury had made their re port, which contains some starting facts as to the way in which the public money was squan dered. From the report it appears that Gen"- rard's official Moine amounted in all to no less a sum than $40,000 (gold j per annum, besides which he drew front the Treasury $7,000 a year for table money—that is, for entertaining visitors at the national palace, and he had at his disposal, in addition, the sum of A , ;f30,000 per annum for secret police. The 'ex traordinary" expenses incurred for personal sur roundings and • comforts of his Excellency amounted annually to almost as much as the secret police money. Thuslor the year 1864 we have the following charges :—February 23, furniture and Viands for the palace, * , ,1,238; 21th, furniture and crystals, $6,225; March 5, repair of furniture at the palace and payment of workmen, if 8,235; July 28, repairing of furniture and twelve dozen :classes, $1,170; Sept. 10, repairs of furniture and Pay of workmen in the garden, .$6,136; . October 25, purchase of lamps, s72of ,nearly twenty:four thousand dollars in one year. In another place we find a charge of $1..719 for sweetmeats and in another the sum of $2BO for his Ex cellency's coachman. It appears, too, that Gear:ad was in the habit of speculating on a large scale with the public moneys. He would borrow gold from the Treasury on the security of his salary, purchase with the gold the depreciated paper currency ofHayti at a heavy discount, and out of this paper money pay back, dollar for dollar, what he had borrowed in specie. Getfrard, who is at present in Paris on a visit to the National , Exhibition, is •represented to be now a man of immense wealth. The brigands in the northwestern districts were, giving considerable trouble, being in much greater force than had been supposed. Several, eimotm- i tors hrid taken place between' them and the go vernment troops, in all of which the former were badly beaten. About one hundred and fifty of them, driven out of Fort Biesou by WI troops, PHILADELPHIA, FRWAY, AUGUST 1867 had taken reltide in the Dominican territory. I❑ giving, information of this' to the Ilay..tien ,Go vernment, the Dominican. Minister of War. Gen. Itainlra, took occasion to assure Sainave of the friend)). sentiments of the Dominican Governmen t towards, his administration. In conformity with an official order hinted by the President, oh the 29th of June last, a Chamber of Commerce for the city of Port au Prince . had hen formed. It consisted of seven member and was to enter upon the discharge of its functions immediately. SHERIDAN'S REMOVAL. Leiter from General Sheridan. The. Washington correspondent of The Braises Advertiser telegraphs the following letter from Sheridan to Grant!' "HEADQUARTERS FIFTY :MILITARY DISTRICT NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 3, 1867.—General AS'.

Washivton, c.—"GHNElted.: I have the honor to submit for your information the following: The State of Louisiana is registered in accord , : ante with the act of Congress, dated March 2d, 1867, and the bills supplementary thereto. The poll-books are nearly made out., and the Commis sioners. of Election in each polling precinct ap pointed. The number of registered voters will ix slight'iy over 120,000.

The greatest embarrassment with which I have had to contend, was the constant rumors of my removal, published nearly every day in the papers of this city. It was a serious embarrassment, as it was breaking down the con fidence of the people in my acts; but notwith i•tandipg this i we worked patiently and industri ously, having in view'only justice, the rights of the people. and the law in its spirit.

H. 811E8/DAN, "Major-General C. S. A." Grant's Protest. The character of the suppressed correspondence between Gen. Grant and the President, regarding the suspension of Mr. Stanton and the removal of Gen. Sheridan, has transpired. The despatch regarding it to a New York paper, if ever sent from here, is a poor piece of guess-work. First, tke letter protesting against the suspension of•the Secretary of War was short, hat extremely forcible; therein General Grant expressed- to the President his opinion that the latter had no legal right to suspend Mr. Stanton, and that although an astute lawyer might find a warrant in law, thepeople could sot be convinced of the legality of such a course. To this the President did not reply. The second protest, in the ease of General. Sheridan; covered a little over a page,_ and is most emphatic in its tone and language.lnstead of being a friendly letter it is severely official in its terms. It calls upon the President to withhold the order in view of financial reasons and from considerations of patriotism. The reply of the President was also official. It covers abcut a dozen pages, and con sists of a specious argument regarding his rights and duties in the case, and ends with the peremptory order already announced. The first intention was to send it solely as a Presiden tial order in form, but after Mr. Johnson's reply, Gen. Grant made it his own so far as to enable him to send out the fifth section. The order left by mail for New Orleans this morning. Several. more removals arc looked for. The kmowledge that the above papers existed, and that the Presi dent has suppressed them, is creating as much .:tenement in official circles as the garbling of Gen. Sheridan's despatches. This fact may force their publication.— Wash. (or. Boston drertiwer. Opinions of the Prem.. (From the Chicago Republican.] The removal of Sheridan has been, ordered by the President,but it has not vet been promulgated by General Grant. If the litter consults his own and his country's interest, he will resign before he issues such .an 'order. Philip H. Sheridan, with the approbation of the whole loyal American people, is more powerful to-day than Andrew Johnson with the robes of the Presidential office upon his shoulders. - [From „-• In thus obeying theorders of the President, it is notorious that General Grant only yielded to the command of a power he could not resist; but his order, which accompanies the President's ',caudate. goes as far as it can to counteract the President's well-understood purpose, by directing Gen. Thomas, who is assigned to Gen. Sheri dan's place, to pontinue in force and to execute all the orders heretofore given by Gen. Sheridan. Thus Grant avows his unqualified approval of Shetidan's policy, and Gen. Thomas's known loyalty and sympathy with the policy of Con gress insures the country against any change in the rigorous dealing with traitors which has brought down the censure of the Executive on the head Of the gallant commander of the Fifth Military District. [From the Cleveland Leader.] We cannot applaud the course of Gen. Grant, in dismissing Sheridan under protest. any more iham iu aiding to Oust Stanton under protest. This tame compliance, this protesting but pliant submission, Is unworthy of the unrelenting sol dier, who crushed the rebellion by sheer per sistence of will, and the reticent statesman who hopes to achieve the Presidency by the same forceful purpose. If Grant had been of the metal which he should be made of, he would have gone out of the War - Office rather than per mit the- removal of Sheridan. If his presence in that position is only as Johnson's tool and scape goat—if he fulfils, even under protest, all John son's biddings—we might as well have Steedman or McClellan or Fitz Mtn Porter there at once. [From The Cincinnati Timm] Andrew Johnson finally set his foot down, and in spite of the protest, as is stated, of General Grant, has ordered the removal of General Sheri dan to Missouri, and the appointment of General Thomas to the Fifth. District, which the former has made so famous. In the administration of that district, Genera! Sheridan has exhi bited surpassing . promptitude and superior. ability. .His first . act, to wit: the order assuming command, WILS a model document for brevity, clearness and artistic-excellence. The whole country read the order, and felt at once that Sheridan was not merely a dashing, daring military chief. The highest hopes were at once inspired and 'ffis pro :Tress in that most difficult of all the' departments Was watched with exceeding interest. He failed not in one jot or tittle to answer the expecta tions of the country. Indeed, his course at once distingUished him as one of the greatest adminis rators of the country. (From the ItocheNter Democrat.] The President attempts to break the force of public feeling about Sheridan by appointing as his successor Gen. Thomas, an officer of great ability and expericncc,and as Radical as Sheridan himself in his views of reconstruction. It is the same policy that led to the appointment of G,en. Grant as successor to Stanton, and will have the same effect. The people will hare both the War Office and the .Departuieut of the :Southwest in safe hands, but they will not be hoodwinked as to the motives that have 'Prompted these, removals, nor indifferent to the additional, light. they ;shed on the character of Andrew Johnson. (From the Cineitmati Enquirer.] (;en. Sheridan will of course be a sort of one horse Radical martyr for a few days. There will OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.

His course appears 'Consistent upon the suppo position only that he desires to ob struct and shipwreck the plan of Reconstruction that has been finally and - decisively adopted; and that he desires to exasperate and defy the loyal sentiment that suppressed the rebellion, and comfort and Invigorate the unsuixlued rebels. As surely as • Congress hesitates to adopt a stringent measure. he demonstrates at the first oppprtunity that the omission was an error—it was reposing confidence in him.

COAST OF DERMARK i _ OPPOSITE NYHORO, ON ik/ARI) UNITER STATES FRIGATE FRANKLIN, Aug. ath, 1867.—Y0u cannot conceive the pleasure It affords me to announce that our voyage on the United States frigate Franklin over the great Gernian Ocean has proved a most agreeable dis appointment to every one connected with our vessel I can remember well, when a boy, full of tomtit:tile ideas and inclined to the construction of rather airy fabrics listening with "eager and at tent ear, and with eyes opened marvelously wide, to certain wonderful stories about the rough waters of this ever turbulent sea; and even on out recent pasaage across the broad At— lantic I frequently - heard the most dismal and prophetic iillusions. to its dreaded characteria ticaOhesidef one of Which was a habit it' pos -seattediarMaithwa-plaything of every craft that ventured. Upon its surface. I also remember that unon every calm day, when congratulatbig our selves upon . the lakelike appearance of the great "mill pond," it was no unusual Thing to be promised an ominous , change of scene upon our entering upon this dreaded waste of waters. . Instead -of this my introduction to .this much-abused sea has been a most agreeable. one, a delightful repose prevail ing throughout. On the afternoon, of the 30th nit., after doing up Paris and giving the accomplished Empress Eugenie every evidence of our respect and ad miration, we steamed out of the harbor of Cher bourg into the English Channel, followed closely by the Canandaigua and Frolic—the Ticon deroga to join us as soon as certain necessary repairs were completed. I cannot say that I noticed any expressions of regret as we sailed slowly away from that great naval for tress—on the other hand, had it not been strictly forbidden by the regulations of the service, I am confident a heartfelt shout of joy would have proclaimed feelings consoling to ourselves, perhaps, but ,not very complimentary to ate people or to the impressions produced by Cherbourg. On the following morning we wew favored with a most beautifu Tiew of the south em coast of England—with the towns of H;; the, a very fashionable watering place, and Folke stone, chiefly celebrated, as I. am informed by our English pilot, as being the birthplace of Harvey, the discoverer of , the circulation of the blood. These towns are located near the beach and at the base of the immense white or elnak cliffs which distinguish the immediate section of our mother country. Shortly afterwards, we passed through the Straits of Dover. where we enjoyed a fine sight of the famous castle with the Roman and Saxon towers, the foundation of which has been at tributed to the Romans themselves. Beyond this again.the stately walls of. Walmer Caitle appeared in view, and every eve was strained to the utmost to obtain a good impression of this truly histo rical place. The castle faces the Downs,a famous anchorage for shipping, was built by the Blue Beard3lonarch of .England—yclept Henry VIII. —tied was fremaently the residence of the Duke of Wellington during the time that he was Lord Wardeu of the Cinque Ports. _ An hour or so atter passing the channel which— separates France and ngland, those old rivals of eight centuries, we lost sight of land- entirely, and a new ocean to us, but the anticipated scene of many storms and whirlwinds, became our home; until early on the morning of the 3d inst., when a distant gllmpse of Haustholm lighthouse wns observed at the very time and from the exact position previously calculated by the able cord, mander, and the navigating officer of the ship. assured us that we were - not entirely removed. from all intercourse with our mother earth. A few hours afterwards we entered*the Skagen Rack Straits, which signifies in simple Anglo Saxon, a passage difficult to manage, and sailed alone the onceqamous peninsula of Outland, the largest and most important province of Denmark; and as I brought my glass into requisition and took a long and careful survey of its bay—in dented shores and observed the primitive hamlets of the hardy 'and daring fishermen many of whom are • doubtless decended from the Norsemen of old, a thousand memories rose within me, and I could scarcely realize the fact that I was passing along the coast of a na tion whose early history, connected with song and story, is coeval in its origin with the dawn of the Christian era. Originally the ruling centre of the great Scandinavian race, and exerting an influence which was recognized throughout the whole of Northern Europe, Denmark now ap pears but as a spot On' the map of the world, and is surrounded by Powers In comparison with whom she sluks into the position of an almost helpless nationality. • Empires, like individuals, have their day and generation. Denmark . can proudly claim her own, but it belongs to an eventful past; and yet her record is brilliant with numberless examples of the daring and prowess of her people, and her history is resplendent with the names and works of some of the greatest poets and philosophers of the age.

Before starting again, we exchanged salutes with a Danish fort situated a short dis tance above the town, being informed by our pilot it was customary for all vessels of war to do so. We are now steaming down toward Kiel bay, and to-morrow hope to be in the Baltic, on our way - to Bt. Petersburg, fro Whin . Capital - 3 - 6u will probably hear from me again. I cannot conclude this without alluding• to one, of the many pleasures of our Voyage. When I state that thb consists in the shortness and brilliancy of our nights, owing to the high latitude in which we are cruising; I know that lam in danger of shocking the sensibilities of some of your more aged readers, whose principal ideas of happiness are not unirequently cen tered in the enjoyment of a lou, undisturbed nap, but I am nevertheless compelled to say that to me there is a peculiar charm about the long and lingering twilight, extending far into the night, until the bridge between It and daylight seems but a space, which I think, in - itself, worthy of a trip across the broad Atlantic to see and experience. This being the sth of August, the officers gen erally have called upon our gallant Admiral to congratulate him upon the anniversary of the ever memorable battle of Mobile Bay. THE EASTI.IIN QUESTION. French Explanation of Russian Po. Hey Towards iirkey—The Czarls ?sympathy for the Christians. [From GalignlnPis Messenger. of Paris, Aug. IA) The Opinion Nationale of to-day notices an ar ticle of the Moscow Gazette on the Eastern ques tion. The Paris organ, after declaring that the Ilussian print is, its very antipodes both in morals and politics, affirms that it has, however, described with great. correctness the general situation, when In one of its late numbers it says: "It may be asserted without any , fear of being taxed with exaggeration that civilized Europe has never presented _ a more melanoholy and more scandalous spectacle than that which we now witness." The Opinion fully endorsee the assertion thus made, and asks what can be more sad—more dia _tressine. than to witneseN-Inthe midst of-a gen eral decline of conscientious feeling, right every where borne down, brute force' everyv?here tri umphant, corruption in, the ascendant, and the thirst of gold, destroying everp . noble aspinition. The 'writer says: But it is not from that 'elevated and universal point of view, which dominates Russia as well, and perhaps even more than it does Western Europe, that the Moscow Gazette fulminates the accusation of which we have given the formula. M. Katokoff is thinking exclusively of the affairs of the East. Assuredly, events are taking place in the Ottoman Empire which cannot be protested aeainst with too much enemy. The , Christian subjects of the Porte have always had to submit to a government of abuse, but if we go to the root of the matter we would say to Russia: "If those populations suffer, it is on the Czar that the responsibility of It lies; it. Is he who maintains and perpetuates the exactions of the pachas and the functionaries of every rank; every tear shed in those countries, so highly favored by nature and so badly go verned by man, he is accountable for; for Eu rope would long since have stretched out a gen erous hand to these oppressed people if she were not obliged to sustain the Porte in order to re strain the ambition of Russia." We cannot, therefore, better compare the grief manifested by the... Moscow Gazette than to the interested tears of the crocodile. Russia has profited .by the spontaneous insurrecaon of the Cretans to raise a contlag,ration in every province of Turkey, and if she blows the flame, apparently the reason is that she desires to burn it to her advantage by making. it spread from the Danube to the Bosphorus. The article- of M: Katokoff sudiciently proves that fact. It has been written, apparently, to prepare the Russian 'people and the west of Europe for the publication of a memorandum which the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has quite recently addressed to the Porte on behalf of the Christians. Prince Gortschakoff, it is affirmed, claims the complete self-government of the populations, .by provin ces. and menace, perhaps, will soon follow the demand. The Moscow Gazette intimates as much when It addresses Europe in the words of a de spatch of Prince Gortschukoff to the Russian Am. hassador iu England (August, 3, 1860):—"Let the position be considered in which we might find ourselves if massacres of our co-religionists were commenced on our frontiers, and if we were com pelled to look on' at the spectacle with folded arms; but these sinister predictions of the Chan cellor of the Empire have been realized. For eight months past our co-religionists have been mas sacred in Crete, and, at our very frontiers, in Bulgaria. Without wishing to constrain any one whatever, from acting in this way- or that, shall we always look; wi)11 arms crossed, at -these butcheries?" As a symptom, these words call for the most serious attention of the European cabinets. We are, in truth, leaving the game,in the hands of Russia by our dissensions and rivalrie,s. She seeks to profit by our faults, and nothing.ismore natural. We even lend her millions in order to aid her in her task. Onward, then, on holy Russia!• THE Indian Bald on the Fort Buford: Cattle Herd-111e Savages Driven oil by-Ar tillery. rimer Bui;onn,` D. T.,"Atig. 3, 1861.—Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, a largo band of Teton Sioux made a raid on this fort. .They were mounted on swift ponies, and came down from the woods and bluffs northwest of the fort. .They came very rapidly, but very quietly, until they were within half a mile of the fort, where the herd was grazing. They then opened fire with old muskets and bows and arrows, killing several of the cattle and wounding others so that they had to be killed. Among these were three choice cows, from which the major part of the .garrison's milk was obtained. The long roll soon brought the men under Ulll,O, and, they fell in with a will, .coufidentiv hoping and expect ing a fight with the redskins. 'Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall, not be dis appointed. Company C were 'deployed as skirmishers, and, from what we can, find out, went after the Indians Indian fashion. This is Col. Rankin's company, and as it was here all last winter, the men of that company ought to know bow to go 'after the-Blottx. The artillery of Fort Buford was. speedily brought to bear upon the Indians, and as shot and Shell fell among them their 'horses were seen 'to fly in every Ldirection.
