successor, Chief of Pollee Florente. Gov.
Gutierrez rie la Vega, and many persons of note,
were at his bedside at the time. Dr. Caro at once
embalmed the body. and at noon the remains
were lying in state in the reception hall of the
Palace. During the afternoon thousands
viewed the body, which was attired in full
uniform and guarded by eight soldiers. The
corpse will remain in the palace until to

in the chapel of the cemetery, preparatory to
their shipment to Spain by the steamer which
will leave for Cadiz, on the a6th.— Shortly : after .

Balmaseda.' who will act as Captain Gen

statutes. 'Speculation is rife as to the per
manent successor of the .deceased gentleman. I
omitted to mention that as 'some dispute arose as
to the legality of Count Balmaseda's appointment,
a demand for instructions was telegraphed to
Spain. Her Majesty's government, in reply to
the despatch,copfirmed the appointment of Count
Balmaseda. All - the newspapc7s donned their
mourning garb on receipt of the tidings of Senor
Manzano's death.
Of the life of the late Captain-General some ac
count may prove interesting. JOaqumManzano y
Manzano was born March 10, 1805', in Albuquer
que. Province of Estremadura. In 1827, he be
came a cadet of the First Company of the Second
Battalion of the grenadiers of the Royal Guard.

tary actions, including - those of' Olazagoitm, Ar
faz% ' Lecumberry, Sorlada, Mendaza, Arcos,
Castillo .de Guevara. Chavarri, and he assisted
in the taking of Forts Ramales and
Guardmuilo, of the heights of Villa Real tie Alva ;•
surprise of Wanda, Tenon de Manealla, Canada,
Fort Segura, Cerollera, Morella and Meras. Ili
1848. being al Brigadier-General, he was made
Commander-General of Verga. • June 16th, 1819,
he was made Field-Marshal and ,appointed Com-•
mander-General of Tarragona. He was
Military and Political . Governor of the.
Department of Santiago de Cuba (this island)
in 1852, and was second incommand of the•lsland
of Cuba from 1851 to 18rt9. Returning to Spain,
`he was made Captain , General of the Vaseen

In the latter part of the Year 1863 he was made

S ,I'TI I BEND, Ind., September - 27.—Your tele
graphic correspondent at Wooster, 0., Condenses
My long speech there last Tuesday into the fol
lowing half-dozen lines:
"In regard to impeachment, Mr. C. said he
longingly counted the days till Congress would
again Meet, when Andrew Johnson would be
brought before the Senate for impeachment, and
in regard to the threat attributed to the Presi
dent that he would prorogue Congress;' he said
that Mr. Johnson dare not attempt it, - for well
he knew the end would be that his feet would
dance upon air, while the law-making power
,Avould coritintmto perform. its functions,,,, These
sentiments were received with great applause."
That was pretty near what I said; but as, at a
time like this, men who are in bublic life desire
to be judged on their exact positions,mtiy I ask a
brief space in your columns to say that I counted
the days till'Congress would again meet, because
in twenty days after that time Edwin M. Stanton
would go back again to the War Department in
spite of the malignant President who sought to
expel him from the position in which he had
served the country so faithfully; that when
Congress resumed its legislative authority,
the House, in accordance with the de
mands of the loyal masses throughout the
land, would be required to place the Presi
dent before the tribunal provided by the Consti
tution, to defend himself there from the charges
of persistent usurpations, and persistent viola
tions of the oath which requires him to take care
that the laws shall be faithfully executed: and
that, while I did not believe Mr. Johnson dared
to fulfil the threats against Congress now being
Ml* by his Washington organs, apparently in
his name, yet whoever did dare to destroy the
Legislative Department of the Government s by
revolutionary lone, whettker President, Cabinet
Minister, or citizen, would be tried for his treason,
and punished as traitor, with his feet, not like
the traitors of the recent rebellion, on the earth,
but iu the air. Sciwymut COLFAX.

and I believe, League Island has been wholly re
claimed from the river Delaware, and is only
prevented from overflow by large banks of stone
and earth. It is surrounded, except upon one
side, by a marsh, anti for this cause, as well as
from insalubrity. it has been unimproved and un

If the object is to erect foundries, the spongy
nature of the boil would make it impossible to
get a proper foundation for the buildings except
at a great cost, nor could a well of sufficient
depth be dug for large castings. It could not
cost less than two or three million dollars in
ship-houses, dry-docks, and other structures
now in the old yard, which would have to be
abandoned. The,: the ,till the Island iennl,ll.,e

Strange Affair in a Railroad Car.
'From the IlarriAairg PatrioL
A gentleman who traveled over the Pennsyl
vania Railroad on Saturday furnishes the follow
ing account Of a singular scene in one qf the
cars, and narrow escape from death. While the
train from Pittsburgh for Harrisburg was nearing•
a bridge at some point on the road, on Saturday
afternoon. a Frenchman, respectably clad, whose
name was discovered to be Joseph Fournier, a
bootmaker by trade, entered the ladies' car, and
quietly sat down, remarking - that parties in
the other 7ear were trying to get his
watch from him. When the news agent
passed_ through' the car 'with a box of
candy, Fournier wished to buy a package,
hut had only five cents, and this being
he offered his watch :old pocket
book far the box. The news agent made a jocu
lar cc mark and passed on. when Fournier laid
the above firticks on his seat.-placed his hands
on the Lacks of two seats, and breaking the win
dow lane with his shoulders.anmediately inniped
through the aperture, feet foremost. A member
of an; Philadelphia har. Mr. J. H. Wheeler, sit
tine. in a scat next behind Fournier, Made an
short to cateh him and draw him back, but,
from the suddenness of jump, was unable to
hold him. Fournier, through the momen-
tars chuck, ft ll on his feet and rolled
over to the side track. The engine, although
running at the rate of fifteen miles an hour,
stopped. end Fournier was, s,;en to rise and run a
short distance and then &top. As soon as the
passengers neared him, he fill on hi.; knees, and
erosing his hands over his breast. cried out in
tones of the most abject fear. -Kill me, kill me,
here I am!" and soon thereafter, "Oh, gentlemen,
please don't kill me!" acting as if he were in mor
tal dread of some one. His taco and hands were
lacerattd from the glass of the window pane and
the sharp stones between the sleepers upon
winch he fell. The man was evidently insane,
and but very little information.
besides his name and trade, and
that he was on his way to Philadelphia, could be
elicited from him. His pocket-book contained a
few mine tickets anti Several cards, apparently
but a day-in his possession, marked A. 'Pitch
schmidt, Amerielm House, Cincinnati." The
conductor, after placing him in the cars, clid all
in his power : to alleviate his suffering, OW, owing,
rifles, 'FM tinier Sankrap

Mifflin station was placed in charge of- the gen
eral railroad agent at that place. Altogether, It
is an event not likely to be obliterated from the
minds of those who witnessed the whole pro
ceeding.
The 660penings” To-d y and To
morrow.
The ladies of our city are this week engrossed
with the usual nut r al "openings," which from
our advertising co um re taking place with a
profuseness and niemn* cenee of preparation
never before Nulls .- Speaking of these in
teresting trade4fEla days the I'nv.3 of this morn
ing says:
"It is doubtful whether Anniversary week in
New York in May, creates as profound a sensa
tion there as October "openings" create in Phila
delphia. With us, these semi-annual openings
have Obtained something of the art and
permanency of an institntion. That they
exert it palpable influence upon the taste
of the times is undoubted, and upon
their success the complexion of the season's
trade, in . any department, may generally be
predicated. The present week signalizes the
chief of these autumnal openings. All the le4-
lug houses which cater to ladies' wear of any
description, have made their announcements.
Cloaks, furs, dress-goods, laces, white goods,
etc., are thus courting the admiration of the
ladies, though the fact can never be ignored that
of all theopeniugs of the season Millbury open
ings have an acknowledged precedence. The new
Bonnet mpt.vt be selected before any other field can
be intelligently entered upon either fur explora
tion or purchase.
"In this deparintontthe magnificent 'opening'
of :Messrs. 'Wood Cary, at their retail ware
rooms, 725 Chestnut street, on to-morrow, Octo
ber Bd, will probably be thep.and event of the
week in fashionable circles.. The display made
by this firm is always princely, but their pre
parations for the coming opening are Superior to,
anything that has ever heretofore transpired In
Philadelphia iii the millinery line. .The superb
and profuse display of imported bonnets and
hats t we understand, were selected In the princi
pal European capitals, by a Member of the firm,
expressly for their autumnal 'opening. We know
that this fact will not be lost upon the ladies,"..
