Dr. Newton's ad mirable volumes of sermons for children. It is entitled 4 "Bible Jewels," and, like the several volumes which have preceded it, by the saute author, it Is full of the 61mple truths of the Bible, rritiglif in the author's peculiarly happy and in teresting style. Dr. Newton has for many years made the piablie instruction of the young one of the specialties of his ministry,andhc is now justly recognized by all denominationS as one of the masters of the rare art of 4 : talking to chil dren." His new volume, "Bible Jewels," comprises eleven sermons preached to the Sunday Schools of the Church of the Epiphany In this city, (hiring last year. The series. of which it forms a part have become standard among Sunday School teachers and scholars both in America and England, and the new volume will be as eagerly sought and will be found as instruc tive and interesting as any of its predecessors. It is enriched by a number of excellent engrav ings from original designs by Mr. A. G. Heaton, well known among the most prominent of the Lathe artists of Philadelphia. For sale at the Episcopal Book Store, 1221 Chestnut street. Sever Francis, Cambridge, hare added a valuable contribution to the list of American stile c.,1-le,oks, by the publication of a revised edi tion of Macicane's Horace: Bev. A. J, Macleane is Head Mantel . . of Ring Edward's School, Bath, and a high English authority upon the Latin classics. The work of revision, in order to adapt this ediryan of Horace to the use of American Eel:o°ls. has been done by Mr. Reginald If. Chase, A. M., of thin city. Half of the volume is siv vottd to copious and valuable English notes, to which Dr. Beck's Introduction to the Metres has been appended. The whole arrangement of the volume makes it most valuable as a text-book for American schools and colleges. Two charming books for children have just been published by Ticknor & Fields. copies of which have been sent to us by G. W. Pitcher. One is "Grimm's Goblins," selected from :the Household Stories of "the Brothers Grimm, with colored illustrations from designs by Cruikshank. They are genuine old-fashioned tales, such as are sure to enehantyoung readers. The other volume Is called "Rainbows for Children." The author is not named, but Mrs. L. Maria Child, the cdi tress, gives in a preface well-deserved commen dation of the stories, which are ten in number, and all delightful. There are a number of good wood-cut illustrations. .Harper & Brothers have published a "Manual of Physical Exercises," by William Wood, who has been engaged in New York for many years as an instructor in gymnastics and calisthenics. This work includes the subjects of rowing, skating . , sailing, fencing, boxing, cricket, base ball, and many kindred topics, and the author's long practical experience gives much value to his instructive suggestions. Physical education is :now engrossing much attention,and judicious in struction in regard to it is much needed. Mr. Wood illustrates his work with numerous en gravings. For sale by T. B. Peterson d; Brothers. "Haswell's Engineers' Pocket-Book" has, for many years, been a standard In every department of the mechanic arts. There is scarcely anything connected with mechanics, hydraulics, hydro- Jimmies, steam-engines, machinery, civil engineer ing and all the vast field of material forces, that is not to be learned in this compact little volume. Harper & Brothers have just published a twenty first edition, revised and enlarged, which em braces the results of the latest experiments and investigations, bringing the whole work down to the requirements of the present time.. For sale by T. B. Peterson & Brothers. Miss Braddon holds' her own well, and the great hit that she made with "Aurora Floyd - has been followed up most industriously. Her last novel, which has been lately completed in one of the Loudon serials, has just been published by Harper & Brothers. Miss Braddon is "sensa tional," but people like the sensational, and "the announcement of the American publication of "Birds of Prey," will at once stimulate the appe tite for Miss Braddou's peculiar school of light reading.

Pitcher, three more of Ticknor Fields' elegant "Library Edition" of Dickens, Including "Great Expecta tions," h) one volume; "Our Mutual , Friend," in two volumes; and "Little Dorrit," in two volumes. We have already alluded more than once to this very handsome edition of Dickens. As a standard style for the library it is all that can be desired, in size, binding, paper, type and illustrations.. The latter, by Marcus Stone, are admirably designed and executed. Another volume of the "Diamond Edition" is also out. It contains "Oliver Twist," "American Notes," anti "Pictures From Italy." Mr. Eytinge's illustrations are full of life and spirit, although his interpretation of the character is not always the happiest. Ills idea of Bill Sikes is twenty years too old. The Diamond Edition is now an established favorite, and If any lover of Dickens is unable to gratify his taste for the great novelist, it certainly will not be for want of handsome, convenient, attractive and . cheap editions of his works. Bridgman 4: Childs, Northampton, M. have, just published an exquisitly printed collection of the Hymns of Frederick William Faber, D. D. The American editor has excluded all poems that are denominational in their character and has in corporated many hymns and poems by Faber, never before published in this country. The author's wide celebrity as a writer of sacred poetry will ensure a rapid demand for this beauti ful volume. For sale by J. B. Lippincott Co. Messrs. J. B. Lippincott l Co., have published two more volumes of their beautiful "Globe Edi tion"-of Bulwer. These volumes contain "The Last Days of Pompeii, - certainly one of Bulwer's choicest novels, and " Devereu." This edition is wonderfully cheap, considerin2; its very hand some style of paper aed.type. • T. B. Peterson eV Brothers have received No. t 2:is of Helper kV Brothers . Library or Select Novels. It is entitled " The Curate's Discipline." by Mrs. Eiloart. It is an English story, and while' it has some of the marks of the novice about it, it has a good tone, and will repay the reader for its pentsal.

Remington Fairlamts: AcriOng . them are a fine Christmas Anthem, "There were shepherds abiding in the fields:" a "Deus Mlsereatur" in C;a duo, "Jesus.

Professor Fairlamb is ens of the most industriousand scientific composers in this coin- . munity, and his compositions .are. marked _by a sound knowledge of harmony and much origi nality of conception. His opportunities co= study under good model= clad masters abroad . have been well improved, and his 'numerous Contributions to secular and sacred mirsie - entitle him to a high rank among American composers. A brief paragraph from a New York paper which fotind its way lately Vito our columns did much injustice to this gentleman by its unfair and untrue allusion to the character of his compositions.

FORT PILLOW. A Feaa• Facts from an Eye-Witness— ftepl y to the Letter of Genetal COrrie.a. T o th , Editor qt . the .Vei , Yoel: Tinfrs : I no tice an article from N. B. Forrest. plib lished In many of the leading papers of the county, wherein he censures a correspon dent of your paper for making certain statements relative to "the Fort Pillow affair." Now, it so happens, that I participated in the defence of ort Pillow. and a decent re ,nect to the memory of the brave men who fell around me upon that occa,ion impels me to bed , of you ,uflicient ~ p ace in your columns to bear witne , - to the truth of many of the statement- , made by your corre-pondent. as well, al.4n, as to tape a Imiff review of the "Card from General Forrest." As Post Adjutant I had charge of the corres pondence - which took place under the flag of truce SCI:It in by Forrest about 3 o'clock P. M., relative to the surrender of the garrison. That correspondence. as published in the report of the Congressional Investigating Committee, is sub stantially correct with but one exception, viz., it omitted to state the— threats which For rest actually made in both his communi cations, in these words, to wit: "If this demand is . not complied with, you must take the consequences." lla.ving con fidence in. our ability to hold the fort until rein forcements arrived, we refused to swar uder, never dreaming that pending the negotiations under the flag of truce, Forrest, by violating all rules of civilized warfare, had treacherously gained•positions from which he could successfully assault our works. This, however, proved only the prelude to the chapter of horrid atrocities which ho and his friends had in store for the Federal garrison after its capture. That the massacre of our troops which followed was deliberately 17)re- _ meditated and planned, I believe, as I believe in the existence of a just God, who will punish the perpetrators of this wholesale murder of unarmed and many of them wounded - men. I was myself deliberately shot down after I had surrendered, and while lying on the field where I fell saw a number of wounded men deliberatelz shot. All this occurred after the fort was in entire possession of the rebels, and when our men had entirely ceased to offer resistance. These atrocities were renewed early the follow ing morning, when two unarmed, helpless, Iv - blinded Federal soldiers were shot within thirty feet of where I, , was lying at the time. lat the same time beard shooting going on all round the fort,but this occurred in my immediate sight and locality. In conclusion, I would only say that I have by no means a desire to present mypersonal wrongs and sufferings before the publie, and but for the fact that I am the only surviving oflicer of my regiment-the only regiment .of white troops that participated in the defence of Fort Pillow— I should have remained silent upon this occasion. MAk is J'. LEA3itra.:. FooLumteiNE,s.—An accident occurred re , cently in the London Zoological Gardens, which would have proved serious except for the ener getie interference of one of the keepers. A man about fifty years of age went under the iron guard in front of the bear-pit, adjoining the dens of the lions and tigers, and began teasing a brown bear. The result Was that Bruin caught the right arm of the man in its jaws, after having that taken a piece out of the shoulder of his coat, and was beginning to operate with his teeth, when a cry was raised, and a keeper ran to the spot, and by vigorously hitting the-animal's jaws 'with a stick, caused it to release PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER LI, 1867. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. AIJSTICIA. Secret and Curious Negotiations of Kossuth "Vi'ith Russia and France. The of Pesth publishes the following: "On the Ist of august, 1819, Battliyanyi and Sze mere arrived at Nyiradoni to yroceed to Arad, by order of the Government. Kossuth learnt, pro bably from Grergey himself. partly from the secret agents he had In the camp of, the latter, that that General had begun negotiations-with the Rus sians. This explains why he took into his own hamls the peace negotiations, which" he in tnisted to the two Ministers (Batthyanyi and Szemerej. The basis of Kossuth's ne gotiations was neither more nor less than the offer of the Hungarian Crown to Russia. The two Ministers separately opened, _upon that basits, negotiations with Marshal Paskievitsch, when, on the sth of August, 1849, in the house of the Bishop Bremer, they banded their first note to the Russian parliamentary Mlloradavis, who had come the night before to arrange for the exchange of the Russian officers in the hands of the Hun garians. That note, delivered to Marshal. Pas kievitsch, did rot offer the Hungarian Crown to the Russian dynasty, but its purpose was to in duce Russia to make a separate peace with Hun gary. These negotiations were unsuccessful. But on the 7th of August Szemere and Bat;• thvanyi sent a second note to the Russian Gene ral. That note was submitted to General Poet tenberg. who was accompanied by Colonel Leo.; pold Benydzkv, Captain Joseph Bethlen, ands detachment orlaissars to the Nicholas Regiment. While the latter were proceeding to the Russian General's quarters. a ministerial councillor re placed the others at Mad, and on August 10 the third note was drawn under the presidency of the Governor. In that third note, Kossuth for mally offered the Hungarian Crown to the Rtt-- elan dynaSty. on the basis of the idea of x curdy geoieeire. Poeltenberg had not re turned, and it had been decided to send an embassy to conchide the peace. The person ch•osen by Kossuth for that mission was Peter Ceenovics. The rapid course of events brought the negotiations to an end." Kemeny, in the &Arne article published by the Nfijdo, ap eerie that When he met Kossuth, in Switzerlar,d, they both spoke about the Back administrarion, and Kossuth told him that Tetchy was . goVtg to Zurich, where the diplomatist-, were just, ne.4o - the peace. The conversation•.naturally turned upon the Italian war. Kossuth sa id t o him that the first time he paid a visit, to th e Em peror Napoleon at Villafranca, 'some one was already waiting in the ante- , :oom, but that Kossuth had the honor to be received the first. It was only after his interview with Napoleon 111. that he learned who was, the nerson who had Waited till his reception in. the ante-room—it was the King of Italy % Then. Kosantb went on telling that a Senator had been att. , ,wi l e,A . 1 9 ne - rson and that that Senator If• r c also t' told that the Ems - Lim ()IL_ - r am . Napoleon had spoken to llnrr-.1-Piccolo, and asked if they would ,were coal enough. Kossuth answered in the afiltriiativ.t. Kemeny remembers also that the Emperor Napoleon had informed Kossuth of the menacing position the King of Prussia could assume as a member of the German Confedera tion.if the war extended to the countries belong „i to the Confederation. "I will not deny,*' continne6 KErtleny, "that Kossuth did not ask guarantees for those who Would rise in arms, it a coup were to succeed on the confines of Dal matia; but Kossuth, in his turn, will not also deny that the Emperor of the French uttered these words: 'lt is not enough that Prussia should think of attacking me, you would alto put Russia upon my back.' " AbEssinitin Expedition. atalta letter of Sept. 24 says: "Her 3fajesty's screw steam troopship 'Crocodile, having on board the 2d battalion of the Goth blue, t - several officers of the various corps, intended to thlre part in the Abyssinian -expedition, have in .sight of .this island yesterday morning, coming from Queenstown and Gibraltar, hut did not enter pert, and after re maining a few hours at the mouth of the Grand Harbor, resumed her voyage for Alexan dria. In consequence of foul bills of health being issued from this place, the Crocodile could not communicate with the .shore, for had she dune so she would have been subjected to five days quarantine at Alexandria. The local arrangements for the Abyssinian expedition have .how been completed. Upward of three hun dred mules have been purchased i tlhis island, and three hundred Maltese lia . ti;t been engaged as muleteers to take charge of tie ani mals. Two transports are expected here about the end of this week for the conveyance o the supplies to Alexandria. I regret to say that se cholera is increasing In Malta, but it is hoped tbp.. rigotons measures adopted by the Government will prove effectual hi checking the progress of the disease. The state of the troops is now re ported to be satisfactory, as no further cases have occurred among them during the last few days. According to intelligence received this morning from Sicily the cholera has almo4, entirely appeared from that island, after committing very serious ravages among the population, who were also threatened with a famine. At Messina, where the disease is still lingering. there were i eases and It) deaths on the 21st inst." Farrwritt. On the very day of Adthiral Parragues arrival in England. The _I my and .N . ary G az w e pub lished leading article reflecting . upon the Ameri can authorities for not allowing him to visit EntrlamPand exchange civilities with English officers, writing upon the presumption that be cause one of the ships attached to the•squadron had reached Southampton the flag-ship might not be expected. The portion of the article to which we refer reads thus: The appearance of the American man-of-war Shamrock in our waters may be taken as a proof that our authorities will have no opportunity of receiving Admiral Farragut with the distinction and respect to which his gallantry and character entitle him to wherever he may go, and that the squadron under his command will not enter any British port at present. We regret if it should be so. There is no reason why the American Admiral should not come to us, although it is certain we could not invite him to do so. Sonic time ago it was un derstood the Navy Department at Washington sent orders to all American officers to avoid as much as possible any contact with British offi cers—so, at least, it was reported. It is quite certain that some United States officers of rank and official position, who were over here at the meeting of the French and English fleets in Portsmouth, took care to presere their incognito, lest the civility of the Admiralty should be exposed to rebuff, in consequence of the instructions of their Government that they were to hold aloof from the festivities and courtesies which marked the, event. The United States officers would be well received here, and it is not likely they would lose many men by desertion—at least they would not lose more than a British squadron co.teris paribus in an American port. Admiral Farragut of course never beard of any such absurd orders, and a correspondent of the Daily Newe gives a flat contradiction to the whole story. P Garibaldi's Son ➢lakes a Speech in London. At St. James Hall, London, on the Ist instant. a public meeting was held and an address adopted to be presented to Garibaldi Signor. Ricoitti Garibaldi then came forward, and was received with enthusiastic cheering. He said: "I will not trespass on your lund attention In speaking on the subject which the speakers who have gone before me have treated so eloquently, I will simply thank you in a few words. To-day is the anniversary of a battle which decided the freedom of the Southern province of Italy; it is the anniversary of the battle of Volturno, fought between 20,000 volunteers and 40,000 Bourbonists, and it,was mainly through the aid of the English tht the battle was won. I have my father's authority for this, for he said in his speech' at Southampton: "I have known the sympathy of England on many occa-• sions, but I have specially known it ou an occasion when without It we should not have been able to have eiceoraplished the end OUR WHOLE COUNTRY for which we had lost so much blood in the Southern provinces." You know well he has declared many times in England when he was here that had it not been for the EngliAt people he would not have succeeded in the expe dition of 1860. I might have had now to lament my father, and I should not have been here, per haps. to thank you, not only in his name, hut in the name of all my countrymen. [Cheers.l You have raised a great land,--1 say it though lam an Italian—a land that has a great ancient his tory, a great• history in the middle ages, and will have a great history in the future, when it has cast aside the incubus than weighs upon it—the Papacy. We are unforA innate in the choice of our king. iffy father in 1860 called him ffragatantuoino. I do not know my father's thoughts on that subject, hut I know that every Italian thinks my father, made a mls take at that moment. I thank yon again for what you have done for us. Yon have railed my native land from the depth a degredation to which she had fallen. You have done what is perhaps stilt better than that: you have begun ,the work which: is called the brotherhood of nations.- This is the proudest moment of my 'ife, that yon have intrusted me to early your real sympathies to my father: I know how he must feel at this moment; he who calculated on the possession of Rome as the crowning finish of the whole work, has been sent to prison—they say'be is liberated-- by men whoa he has Wasted. I know It will he like pouring balm Into the wounds of hia sonl. therefore Ido it with pleasure. I thank you rsenally for the kindness with which I have ben received in England, fulfilling a difficult mission. To-morrow I start for my country, and in three days I will deliver into his hands what ycon have Intrusted me with. [Great cheer ing. TURKEY AND RUSSIA. ExtratOrdittary Speech or the Sultan to the Russian Ambassador. (COnptauthaoph:: Corre?pendenoe of the Path! Monde.] In the audience which the ambassador of the Czar had with his Ottoman Majesty before starting on his second journey to the Crimea, the General adverted to the question of Crete with the view of repeating the friendly and d isi nterested advice before given; namely, to cede Candia to Grecee, and thereby avoid the gravest complications, HIS excellency, at the same time, expressed hla desire to know the final answer of the Sultan, in order to be able to communicate it verbally to the Emperor Alexan der. His Ottoman Majesty then, addressing the Russian Ambassador in a tone of great resolute ness and bitterness, replied: You advise me to cede Gandhi to King George, who wants it in order to.render himself popular in Greece; he who is not a born Greek and who I has reigned kaiciTg three years. I am the '',lllity!third descendant of a dynasty which Owes so much to itspeople. over Whom It has reigned for upwards Of iil7: centuries; and you esti mate any popularity—mine, at nothing': From the commencement of this affair of Crete I have received numerous and warm addresses from my Mussulman subjects, who, from all ,quarters, offered to organize themselves in volun teer corps at their own cost, and to march to the .rellef of their brethren in Candia. Yon perceive, it depended only on me to crush the insurrection by throwing - 200,000 Turks into the island, and to every proposition of a nature to assail the integ rity of my empire. To cede Candia General—can you really mean it? How could I',after such an act, cross the threshold of my place and en-. counter 'in the streets of my capital the glances of my indignant people? You wish me,, in Making this cession, to sign the dishonor of my crown and of my dynasty. Never! never! Not - only shall I not cede Sandia, brit I - shall - give - my consent to nothing which in the remotest degree, could tend to such an act. The Emperor Alexander will jam shre, comprehend me when you rep... 6 to him these words, which are not only uttered by my lips, but also proceed from my inmost heart_ The reu..Anglican Synod. [eorrespondcnce of the N. i. Tribune.] Yesterday afternoon I attended What the card of invitation termed a Conversazione at St. James's. Hall, which was held under the auspices of the Society for the "Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts," for the purpose of wel coming the American and C( ial Bishops to o England. Three o'clock, th -li hour named for meeting, brought about 500 c rgymen and as many leading lay churchmen to the Hall, and, until the arrival of the Bishops at a quarter to five . , the meeting was,in fact, a Conversazione, the principal topic of conversation being the ab sence of the men they had been asked to come and meet. Some thought they had been hoaxed bathe Propagation Society; however, about 4, news arrived that a morning sitting at the Palace 'l - 41..anibeth had kept them until' o'clock, and 61 t then, .by the - special request of the Ar hbishop, they had remained to be ph tographed. When the Bishops arrived the nli me tn. to 'tins was no more a conr.3a.:oe than Sam We er's leg of mutton and trimmings was a "sc'l arry." The Archbishop of Canterbury as ce led the platform, accompanied by the Bishops of Oxford and London, and as the foreign and colonial Bishops ascended the platform his name was announced to the Archbishop. The first intro duced was "the Bishop of Vermont, Presiding Bishop of the United States." Bishop Hop kins bowed to the audience, and the audience cheered: - Bishop Potter of New York, Bishop Odenbeither' of New Jersey, Bishop Whitehouse of Illinois, bishop Clark of Rhode Island, Bishop Lce Of lowa, Bishop Atkinson of North Carolina, --and Bishop Wilmer of Louisiana, were all very warmly welcomed: the rest ap peared to be less known to the clergy present. The Bishop of New Zealand was loudly - cheered; and the reception of the Bishop of Cape Town, Colenso's great antagonist, was a perfect ovation, which was only equaled by the reception of the Bishop of Oxford, who is one of the most popular men in England. The American Mis sionary Bishop - of China, the latest arrival in England, was well received. IVhen the Bishops were seated the Archbishop called upon Bishop Hopkins to address the audi ence. Ile said that the unity of his brethren in council, courteous intercourse, and the ex change of Christian sentiment, had produced upon him impressions too deep for language to describe. He thought the occasion one of great promise for the future. The Mother Church had had the satisfaction of welcoming her own children and seeing how the Church, reformed, catholic, faithful and true, was spread throughout the , globe; and the children had had the privilege - of visiting the great 'seat of learning, of refinement, of art, and of pure and undefiled religion; and they would bear back with them a sense of valuable results in feeling, in unity, the strengthening . of zeal, and the increase of devotion which would remain with them until death. Bishop Wilmer, of Louis iana, was the next speaker among the Ameri can Bihops. He commented upon the fact that steam and printing had given fresh impulses to the diffusion of Christianity, and anticipated the time when the telegraph would be utilized by the Church and would facilitate the assembly of a general ..'Ecnmenical Council. At the Synod he had heard Bishops wish they could communicate with their people on the points under dis cussion; and it occurred to him that the time might come when the telegraph would render such consultations possible. There was a prejudice agaihst /Ecumenical Councils, but a historian told us that the first example of a representative assembly was the Council of Nice. The fact stood confessed that the world was In debted for the best means of-legislation to the Chrisatan Church. Why not apply the lesson, promote peace and union of nation's by Chtirch councils, and so :make universal peace a and inspiration from the brotherhood ot the Christian Church? It was time they spoke boldly upon the subject. With the Atlantic telegraph America and Englund seemed to be one nationality— certainly they were one Church. The Bishop of IthOde Island spoke briefly and eloquently. He tatilcrthe diocese over which I preside would not IttiVe existed bat for your So ciety. The Infinerite!of the Conference 'on my . own mind was startling and hallowbag. I was telling the Arelthlit49pthat I always put "Shores Question" into the Winds of all Iv enndidates.for rf confirmation, and that when a boy it was put into my own hands. The Archbishop turned round and said, AU 'here is Short, and there be was. in the person of the vener able Bishop of St. Asaph: and surrounded as I was by portraits of the great departed and the, great living, I was not sure which- were which, and shotdd have been scarcely surprised if old Bh•hop - Pierson had started, up to address the Synod.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP• Strange Revelatfiewt. leeltttive to. the - Counteriel t Bonds. [Washington Correspondence N. Y. Herald.) An individual whose relation to the Printing Division of the Treasury Department for a long time past has been such as to entitle his state ments to full belief, said to-day that he had been pursuing certain mysterious clues that had come to his notice in the Treasury, and had excited his suspicion that something was going forward that would not bear public inspection. This person states that he is satisfied that the plates of the counterfeit one-thousand-dollar bonds were executed in the Department itself. Ac cording to his explanation, impressions on lead were taken from the original plates of the A and B series, and from these impressions the Mates were engraved in a secret manner within the De partment. The fact that the plates were engraved from impressions taken from the originals, he says, accoputi, for the slight inaccuracies of the counterfeits, In making these disclosures, ,the Superintendent of the Printing Division of the Treasury is not charged with any complicity in the matter, as, it is alleged, that the engraving was executed without his knowledge. It is only stated that the Superinteriden t, together with other prominent officers of the Department, have dis covered all the facts in the case, and. are en deavoring to keep them from,the public: I can not absolutely vouch for the truth of the fore going charges, but they come through a channel so apparently trustworthy that I deem it my duty to give them to the public. (Washington CorrePpondeuce of the N.Y. Tribune.) This city, at the present time, is literally over run with lobbyists, small politicians, adven iurers, and' general swindlers. They infest the White House and all the Departments, but espe cially the Treasury. They have all sorts Of claims and schemes on hand, and any official who attempts to thwart them is fearfully worried with their erailL7. Winn they fall to impose on the heads of the DeparLiri.Clifs, they ) seek the President, and bore him for redrestl. They lie in wait for strangers who come here on business with the Government, seek their ac quaintance, represent themselves aWithe par ticular friend of the President, or of the Secretary of the Treasury, or Commissioner of Internal Revenue, as the case of the persons' business may be, and 'Victimize them with their stories and actions. They get hold of careless newspaper correspondents, and deceive, and attempt to use them. The amount of wrong these men accomplish, and the mischief they create among Government officials, is fearful to contemplate, but thereseems to be no remedy. lf mratitchment. o.,,snington correspondence N. Y. Ilerold.l Mr. Johnson is firmly convlnep4 were can be no charges brought against him, such as the Constitution prescribes shall be the sole grounds for impeaching the President; that such accusa tions as can be legally Sustained are only those charging him with differing in affairs of public policy with the dominant party In. Congress. Besides, Mr. Johnson believes that the members composing the present Senate cannot justly sit In judgment on his trial, even admitting that good and sufficient reasons for his impeachment can he found by the House of Representatives. A number of Senators have openly expressed it as their opinion that Mr. Johnson Is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, have denotinced him in unsparing terms, on many public occasions, affirm ing that he should be deposed from authority. The President, it is understood, entertains the ice lief that a trial of the President of the United States should be conducted on principles of as strict impartiality and justice as that of the most insignificant offender against the law. Who is there to guarantee justice and a fair trial to the President? If the President is impeached, and the Senate proceeds to judge his ease, notwithstand ing his protest against their competency to act as jurors therein, who has the power to interfere for the purpose of securing justice? The supreme law of the laud provides that the President may be impeached f'cr certain specified offences, and removed if found guilty. It also requires that certain forms for the attainment of justice shall be observed•in the trial. If these requisites are not complied with,the attempt to arraign and bring to trial the Executive head of the nation is unlaw ful, and therefore an act of resistance to the Go vernment. The attempt to suspend the President from the fatnetioris of his office, pending the trial, would be inflicting the punishment before the ac cused is found guilty, and therefore an act of in justice. These are the principal views of the Impeachment question, which are said to have been expressed by the President at different times when in conversation with friends. Sheridan's Tour—Arrival and Hecep. lion at. Buffalo—Presentation of an Address by the Eenialts to the Vl= BUFFALO, Oct. 11, 1867.—General Sheridan arrived here to-night. He was met at Corfu, near Batavia, by a committee of sixteen of the most prominent citizens of Buffalo, who escorted and welcomed him to this city. On his arrival here be was introduced by General Barry in a neat speech to an assemblage which numbered over 10,060, at the Central depot.

In times gone by I commanded soldiers from this city, and better soldiers never fought. I hope they will be as true citizens to our government as they were true soldiers. 'I am very glad to ace you. The General then walked up and down the platform erected in front of the depot, the citizens pushing and shouting In an excited man ner, all eager to see the hero of the Shenandoah. He was accompanied through this State by Gen erals Young and Marvin, of Governor Fenton's, staff.
