NEW PUBLICATION N 1
Robert Carter or Brothers, New York, have
published another of the Rev. 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. For sale by T. B. Peterson d:. BrotherA

We, have received from G. W. 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.
Hurd & Houghton, New York. hare published
two more volumes of their cheap "Globe Edition'
of Dlekemz, including "Bleak House" and "Little
Dorrit." For sale by G. t 9. Pitcher.
3lcEsrs. Jno. Pcnington & Son, have rec.tived
an admirable little "Diamond Guide to Paris,"
with 137 illustrations and a good map. It is a
very bandy and accurate traveling companion.

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

effective aria for baritone or contralto. "Ho,
every one that thirsted]," from an unfinished
oratorio. 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=

his 'numerous Contributions to secular and

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.

FooLumteiNE,s.—An accident occurred re ,

would have proved serious except for the ener

about fifty years of age went under the iron

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

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

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

by my lips, but also proceed from my inmost
heart_

[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. Bishop Clark concluded by saying that
the first church planted in Rhode Island was now
standing and looking down upon. their" beautiful
Narragansett Bay, a monument of the munifi
cence of the Propagation Society, and they were
about to erect a granite monument to the memory
of Mr. Sparrow. their first missionary.
An address of welcome having been voted to
the visiting Bishops, the Archbishop pronounced
the blessing, and the assembly dispensed.
The United States Bishopawere loudly cheered
as they left the hall.
All of them have been, entertained at dinner
during the week by the A_rolibishop of Canter
bury and the Bishops,of London. and Oxford.
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.

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. General
Sheridan, in replying to the address of welcome,
said: .
Citizens of linirdo: lam glad to see you. lam
grateful to you for this flattering reception. 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.
The Fenians managed by some means to pre
sent au address to General ;Sheridan, to which he
replied in a low voice, which was not heard by
any person on the platform save the party who
read it.
General Sheridan left at 10 o'clock P. M. ,for
Niagara Falls. He returns to-morroW at twelve
noon, and shortly afterwards will leave for
Cleveland, Ohio, to be present at the wedding of
a former member of his staff.
