THE GETTYSBURG ASYLUM. MOT- In respense to a call from Congress, Com missioner Rollins has transmitted . to that body his reasons for exempting the Gettys burg Invalid Soldiers' scheme from taxation. Mr. Rollins states that the collector of inter nal revenue in the district where any such enterprise is to be prosecuted is bound to examine into its merits and report to .the Commissioner. His recommendation is what is Chiefly relied upoi end is ordinarily suffi cient to procure the Veaemption. More than two months before the, application for ex emption was made 'by the ' Gettysburg A.sy lum Lottery, Mr.. Rollins had given a very explicit opinion upon cases of this sort. He then' laid down two important principles; first, that any association claiming , such exemption must submit proof that the entire. .pet proceeds are to be applied to the relief of sick and wounded soldiers or to some other charitable use; and, second, that "a distinction as to the amount of evi dence to be , required should be drawn be tween applications by long-established, well known charitable associations, and those by associations originated for some temporary pui.pos6 or some particular occasion." Fur ther than this, Mr. Rollins decided that "when there is good reason to slspect 'that a -permit, if granted, would be used to sub serve private interests, approval should be withheld until the facts have 'been stated to this office and its advice obtained." In the. face of this opinion, which bears, in both of its points, directly upon the Gettys burg lottery scheme, application was made by the ."I.3bard of Supervisors" for an exemp tion from taxation, and the secretary, J. D. Hoffman, makes the following interesting affidavit : "That the net proceeds of all funds received by them, after the payment of all ex penses, including advertising, printing, sala ries, commissions, rents, &c. ,arc to be appro priated to the benevolent purposes for which the corporation was created, as provided by the charter." Upon this "proof," Mr. John H. Diehl, Collector of the Second District, wrote the following recommendation: U. S. INTERNAL REVENVE COI.t.I n OFFICE, SECOND DISTRI("I or PENNSYLVANIA, PPILADLL -I.IIIA, May 13 / 1867.—Sin : I have the honor to enclose herewith an applleation of the board of supervisors of the Gettysburg Asylum for Inva lid Soldiers, for exemption from the payment of internal revenue tax, accompanied by an affidavit of the seerdtary of the board that the net pro ceeds of the enterprise aro to be appropriated to the benevolent purpose for which the corpora tion was created. /desire to approve this application, it is proper for me to say that the Attorney General of the State has raised a ques tion as to the constitutionality of the act of incor poration granted IT our legislature, and that the case has been brought before the Supreme Court for adjudication. lam assured, however, by re liable parties that Hon. William M. Meredith, George W. Diddle, Esq., and Samuel C. Perkins, Esq., three eminent counsel of, this city, have given their opinion that there is no difficulty in the matter, either legally or otherwise. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, JOHN 11. Drum, Collector. Hon. E. A. RoLk.ms, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Wash ington, D. C. w it will be observed that this letter is dated May 2Sth, 1867. For three weeks prior to this date the press of Philadelphia had fully exposed and loudly denounced this artful scheme to legalize lotteries in this common wealth. Its true nature had been thoroughly ventilated, and the Attorney-General of, the State had given an official and public opin im that the scheme was "that immoral and pernicious thing, a lottery, and nothing else: , Messrs. Biddle and Perkins had also given an opinion, but it was devoted to an expres sion of surprise that the public papers had dared to attack the scheme, and an advice to their clients to go on. It was as far as pos sible from a professional opinion that there "was nothing in" Attorney-General Brew- Ster's "question of its constitutionality." In a grave case like this, an officer of the government, instead of depending upon "certain reliable parties" for the opinions of the counsel for the applicants, should have put himself in communication witlfthe law officers of the State and have taken their ad vice, rather than those always dubious "relia ble parties" from whom Mr. Diehl chose to receive his second-hand information as to the opinions of "Wm. M. Meredith, Geo. W. Biddle and Samuel C. Perkins,Esqs.,"neithor of whidh gentlemen will thank him for im puting to them the opinion that "there was no difficulty in the matter, legal or other wise." Attorney-General Brewster's "Information'' was laid before the Supreme ,Court the day before Mr. Diehl's letter was written and he may, very probably, not have been aware of its contents. But the former opinion of Mr. Brewster, addressed to General Meade, then President of the association, was published three weeks before, and, as an officer of the law, Mr. Diehl was bound to pause in the face of such a positive opinion, and at least consult with the Attorney-General, before lending himself to the furtherance of a schem, of which that officer had said : "It therefore becomes all who have authority in this corporation to pause before they act and ..dopt so vicious a contrivance to carry out. the powers given by the statute, and if there is a doubt as to their right tiles to do, to have that deubt resolved by a - Judicial decision, and not to set on this scheme and assume that, by artfully contrived phrases and ambiguous .terms; the Legislature intended to repeal a portion of, the criminal laws of dig. State, and created again a ~ , ystem of gambling that once, like a pestilence, prevailed to the ruin of the people and the dis honor of the Commonwealth and Against which the advancing Christian civilization raised its voice, and a -- System that now exists nowhere but in governments cursed with slavery, or where gambling in all its formsii allowed by law." It is expected that this whole scheme will receive its 9t/jetzt/3 at the Coming term of the supreme Court, and the good name of Penn sylvania be relieved of the odium which neces sarily attaches to it from the existence within its borders of an institution which prostitutes the names of patriotism and charity for the bend:U.of a system against which the moral ense ,of this commonwealth revolted thirty yeas 'ago. TAKE VITY TREAsusEnstiiir. Henry Bumni, Esq., City Treasurer, during two: elective terms, yesterday retired, .from the office which he has so well and go faith fully: filled, and made way for hie successor, .Joseph N. Peirsol, Esq. Mr. BUITIM retires ethate life and to mercantile pursuits, and THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, :JANUARY 2,1868. ratma he carries 'with him the good opin4and good wishes of all who have had intercourse with him during his incumbency of the office of City Treasurer. We are quite sure, now, that the heat of an exciting political cam paign has passed off,that men of all parties will join in conceding to the retiring City Treas urer the possession of the important requi sites of capacity, earnest attention to the duties of the responsible office and un swerving integrity. Mr. Peirsol, his successor in office, begins his official career under the most promising attE . pices. With a business tact and capacity that has successfully stood the trying ordeal of a cashiership in a prosperous banking in stitution, and with an unblemished private Character, the new incumbent steps into the place made vacant by the retirement of his predecessor. The citizens of Philadelphia have great cause for congratulation that the delicate and responsible duties of this' im portant office have ° not, through the periodi cal mutations of local politics, fallen into in competent or unfaithful hands. ``, Last night, Horticultural Hall made a nar row escape frdrn destruction by fire. Flames were discovered under the main floor of the building, and but for the fact that a number of experienced firemen were congregated in the Hall, on the occasion of a ball, , we should probably have to record the total destruction of this late addition to the public structures of the city. It was the old story: "a defec tive flue," or • "a defect in the wood-work surrounding a flue." This excuse. Might an swer for buildings erected before we had laws providing safeguards against such mishaps, and before the construction of hot-air warm ing apparatus was well understood;, but there is no excuse for the occurrence of such tires at this time, and under such circumstances as the fire of last night. Any person of com mon sense, whether he be a practical me chanic or not, knows that in the construction. of flues and heating apparatus, the surround ing wood-work will be exposed to a certain degree of heat. If this wood work is left exposed, either 'through the parsimony of owners or the recklessness or ignorance of builders, it should be known and the censure should rest where it belongs. Every fire is a public calamity and the public have a direct interest in the prevention i)f conflagrations. The Fire Marshal's duties par take somewhat of the nature of a Coroner's inquest He performs them faithfully and well, and if, upon the occasion of a fire from this too common cause he would make public the names of the persons responsible for the disaster, we would hear less of fires from "defective flues" and the "ignition of the wood-work' around heaters." The city was electrified, to-day, by finding in the telegraphic despatches in the morning papers, that at Mr. Johnson's New-Year re ception yesterday, "Mr. Noble,'Hurdle, a very old gentle.nan residing in Georgetown, took the President by the hand and said : 'God bless you Mr. President. I have shaken the hand of every President film Washington's time, and now, sir, I am happy to shake yours, the last President, but by no means the least.'" It was also added that "President Johnson smiled and thanked Ur. Hurdle for the eompliment." Mr. Noble Hurdle has a perfect right to his own opinions, and nobody can properly complain of his expression of them,-even though they do seem &little severe upon Messrs. Tyler, Pierce and Buchanan. But it does not follow that such unmitigated "bosh" as this should be sent broadcast over the country through the agency of the telegraph. The reporter of the Associated Press at Washington, as well as the President, must have "smiled" frequently yesterday, judging from the twatklle that he sent abroad.

This brings the line to the eastern base of the Rocky mountains, 'unlit is expected that tho tbo track will bo laid thirty miles further, to Evans Pass, the highest point on the road, by January. The maximum grade from the foot of the mountains to the summit Is but eighty feet to the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over ono hundred. Work in the rock•cuttinge on the western elope 'Will continue through tho winter, and there is now no reason to doubt that tho entire grand line to tho l'a. cific will be open for business in 1870. The means provided for the construction of this Great National Work aro ample. The United States grants its Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from $lB,OOO to *48,000 per mile, for which it takes a seoosid Lien as security, and receives payment to a largo if not to the full extent of its claim in services. These Bonds are issued as each twenty-mile section is finished, and after it has been ex• mined by United States Commissioners and pronounced to be in all respects a first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots, repair.shops, stations, and all the necessary roiling stock and other equipmellie. • The United States also makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to the tulle, which will be a source of large re venue to the Company. Much of this land in the Platte .Valley is among the most fertile in thp world, and other large portions are covered with heavy pine forests and abound In coal of the beat quality, The Company is also authorized to Issue its own Find Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the bade of the Government and no more, lion. E. D. Morgan and lion. Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondlufiders,and deliver the Bonds to the Company only as the work pro. gresses, so that they always represent an actual and pro ductive value. • The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars, of which over fiV6 millions have been paid in upon the work already done. EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY. At present, the profile of the Company are derived only from its local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the intereet on all the Bonds the Company can issue. if not another mile wore built. It is not doubted that when the toad Is completed the through traffic of the only lino connecting the Atlantic and Pact. tic /Rates will bo large beyond precedent,and as there will be no competition, it can always be done at profitable rates. It will bo noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad is, in fact, a Government Work, built under the supervision of Government officers, and to a large extent with Go. Tenement money, and that its bonds are issued under Government direction. It is believed that no similar ,security is so carefully gnarded, and certainly no other is based upon a larger or more valuable property. As the Cometuara FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS are offered for the present at Fo CENTS ON THE DOL LAR, they are the cheapest eeenrity In the market, being more than 15 per cent. lower than United States Stotler. They pm, SIX PERCENT. IN GOLD, or over NINE PER CENT. upon the investment. and have thirty years to run before maturity. Subscript 01l will be received in Philadelphia by WM. PAINTER & 00..

No arrest- have yet been made. The Cardley Bigamy C A London letter to the Chicago .IQ 1 rnal says: We have a fresh social sensation this week. A live Baronet ha- been arrested on the charge of bigamy, and, as the magistrate refused to take bill, he Is now In •prison awaiting his further hearing. The case Is a strange one, and of Ame rican Interest.. Sir Eardley Gidi on Culling Eard ley /smith was born in De-A, and succeeded to the Baronetcy In lad;;;. In the Year 187/. 1 , just after he had attained his majority, be was in New York, and fell In love with Elnily Florence. the only daughter of Mr. James Magee, of New Orleans. After-the usual courtship. and with the consent of her parents, they were shortlrafterward mar ried in Calvary Church, New York, by the Rev. Dr. Hawks. Some time after they appear - to have disagreed, and a formal separation took - place, but - - no divorce, and on the 12th of Sep t ember last he married again In London a young woman by the name of Elizabeth Allen. The facts of the two marriages were dis tinctly proved, before the magistrate, and the only defence offered by the prisoner's coun sel was that the Baronet, was perfectly under the impression that the New York marriage was ille gal. Whether the Baronet is a fool. or a knave, or both, the future proceedings will probably de termine. At all events, he assumed that the marriage was not a lawful one under the laws of :England. His idea seems to have been, according to the statement of his counsel. that the laws of this country would not recognize a marriage in New 'York. nor in any . other country, that was not per formed by a minister of the Church of Eng land, or. If performed according to the laws of the foreign-country, was not also solemized at the British Consulate. This would seem to ir , dicate the fool. On the other hand, the deed of separation was produced, in which he re cognized Miss Magee as his wife,': and all the books of the titled nobility clown to the present year were produced, in which the marriage was clearly . atated, and of which he could not have been uncon scious, as he has been since 3 the head of his family, and it is well known that these accounts are furnished and annually , revised by the families themselves, whom they describe. This looks like the knave, at least so far as the unfor tunate second lady is concerned. Ido not know where the real Lady Eardlcy is, but her father, Mr. Mageoi:ls In London, resolved upon parental vengesuice.and Yam, fret(' that his distinguished son-in-law will and I.; difficult to make even an English jury believe that he was so big a fool as he would just now like to be thought. FRONK NEW WORK. NEw Your, Jan. 2.—The first day of the New Year passed very quietly in this city and the suburbs. It rained nearly all day, and the corn mingled snow and water that lay in the streets ankle-deep Interfered very seriously with the plans of those who had proposed to make many calls. People for the most part staid within doors, and the .Knickerbocker custom, except by its most inveterate adherents, was "more honored in the breach than in the observance." At the City Hall the Mayor and the New County Clerk and Sheriff received their friends and office seekers. The anniversary was passively en joyed at the Institutions, as elsewhere, as a day d r iest rather thin au occasion for extraordi nary demonstrations. Tuesday night, or at an early hour yesterday morning, the Brooklyn Bank, in Front street, a few doors from Fulton, was broken into by bur g ars, who undoubtedly thought they would have but little trouble in carrying off a large amount of money. Their plans were well laid, and they succeeded in gaining an entrance to the building seemingly very easy, Adjoining the bank (which is only one story in height) is a largo tenement house having a, window of the third story which overlooks the roof of the bank. The burglars, it appears,passed. up through this tenement house to the window and then lowered themselves, by means of ropes, to the roof of the bank. They then broke through a skylight and again brought the ropes into requisition to lower themselves into the countinproom, and this they accom plished without attracting too „ attention fit' the pollee or any ef the intineretig Vacs !nog lYil? WU° constantly passing within s ftiii of the place. Once inside the buildikl, they itnruedittlely set to work to OA access to the vault, which is situated lathe rear and solidly built in the wall, and from tho'sppearance it pre sented yesterday morning they must have worked 'faithfully for some 'time to force open the strong receptaao of the treasure. „.,,Bars of iron, jim mies, chisels and other tools were used hrtho thieves until they no doubt became utterly ex- hausted and were compelled to relinquish their work 'without having: succeeded in making a sufficient impression on the vault to give them the least hope of being able to grasp the immense amount of money whirls was deposited within Only a few inches of them. Falling to accom plish tho robbery they turned their attention to what they could gather up about the counting room, and, as near as the officers of the bank can judge, they carried off about $2OO worth of Small articlec and clothing. They made their escape by the same way in which - they entered. This is the second time the Brdoklyn Bank has 'been Woken into. THIRD EDITION. BY TELEGRAPH. Cleveland and PAttsburgh Railroad.

Spy.] WASIIINGTON,_ Friday, Dec. 28.—be Saturday last Andrew Johnson, laving an interview with an active Demoeratfrom the Northwest, declared that the entire Gulf States would in a few months be convulsed by a terrible war of races. He declared that all his information was proof of this, and he read from letters lying on his desk extracts calculated to establish such assertions. Doubtless the remark of Andrew Johnson pre- Bents the hopes and desires of that creature and his (am/erns. There is not the slightest doubt that we stand on the very verge. of rein in the Southern States. There is not the slightest doubt that the Democratic Rebel politicians are doing all that is possible to provoke this ruin. Every effort is being made, and that with the most devilish malignity, to provoke,by starvation and oppression, the freedmen to acts of violence. When that is accomplished, the cry of "St. Do minp;o massacres," cke., will be abundantly raised. The letters received here daily from all parts of the eolith by the Congressional Republican Com mittee are filled with the most ominous fears and moat melancholy statements. The people in • many portions of the country are literally starv ing. Of course they are restless, and inclined to violence even. Crime „is coming mare com mon, and open pill: be ,5 is feared. In South Carolina and Missirs'' el this state of affairs 'la • the most alarming. In the former' State, the failure of the crop 1n ruined planter, factor and laborer antic. The planter has beggared his factor, and cannot now. pay the freedmen, who are told at the end of their year's work that they have not earned anything beyond what they have bad to eat, sic. So the laborers are fleeced com pletely, and now stand in a starving condition. In both States the pitiable condition which would necessarily result from crop failures, is much aggravated from the malignant temper, politi cally considered, of the planters toward the freedmen.. Thousands of the men were driven from their employment after the recent elec tion without payment, on account of the way they voted. In Virginia there is a conspiracy on loot, plainly to be seen in its effect. The object is to prevait the employment of the colored men who have identified themselves with the tie publican party. Laborers arc required to sign a contract declaring that they will not become 404 members any political association, seeret or other.. tile they are employed under it. If they /refuse. as they generally do, to sign this document, they find themselves unable to obtain work, and hence are driven away from the neighborhoods where they are registered to vote. So systematically is this pursued that it is evidently part of a general design. The object in driving the voters from their places of regis tration is to cause the loss of their votes on the ratification of the constitutions. Undoubtedly thousands of votes will be lost from this cause alone. In Mississippi the same state of affairs exists, .more intensified oven. because its military coins mender is more in sympathy with " my policy " than with Congress- Isom Louisiana and Texas we hear most fearful stories of outrages, oppres sbm and suffering. Texas is in danger of a famine, as are some portions of Louisiana and other States. Alabama's the only State in which the prospect seems brightening. Recent letters from Montgomery der:tare that the prospects of effecting reconstruction are dailylimproving. In that State., at Itzst,Andrew aohnson s last malice cannot do much injury. Gen. Swayne's removal will have the compensating advantage of unlock ing an able brain and eloquent tongue in open defence and support of the Republican Party. Gen. Swayne is to be. in all probability, one of the United States Senators from, regenerated Alabama. .So much may be considered gained. The removal of Pope'will certainly be a misfor tune, as he has been as true as Sheridan, and even wiser: The rebels in Georgia are' hoping that they have given the Convention now in session a • quietus by the withholding of all money for the payment of its members. The temper of the rebels is, by all accounts, restless and malignant. Everywhere they evince their determination to defeat the new Constitu tions and to resist colored snirrage, even at the cost of another outbreak. Everywhere they . arc possessed with the conviction that when the struggle comes (that they arc trying hard to bring about) be tween the races, they will have the support of a large majority in the North. Negro equality, they believe, has slain the Republican party, and all they have got to do is to resist reconstruction, provoke negro disturbances. and wait for the Democratic success which they believe is sure to come, and when it comes, to admit them into Congress without negro ballots. Perhaps the most painful and dangerous symp toms of the whole • situation" is in the apathy exhibited by the leading Republicans here and elsewhere. The campaign now opening for the ratification of the new Constitutiona is themost pressing of the reconstruction movement. Yet it seems impossible to raise the means needed to push it forward to a successful consummation, while at the same time the concentration of troops into a few posts, distant from the danger ous districts, is going to render it almost impos sible for speakers and organizers to work effec tually.- -Anyhow they have to do it at great per sonal risk. lint the presence of troops rendered them more secure. It at least encouraged them. In Congress a great apathy seems to prevail. The party seems drifting rudderless and aimless, waiting for some Presidential Mieawber to turn up, while the "white man's party," tmder the di rection of Andrew Johnson, push forward to their desired end, with a savage directness -Which carries momentum. The Republican party, 'to insure sudeess, to compel and maintain peace, must have the ten unrepresented States reconstructed and brought back in time to vote for their candidate next November.. Failing iu this, the country may as well squat ely look at the issue which then sternly arises in its path--that of meeting an internecine 'struggle consequent upon the refusal to count the vote of the Southern ' Democracy, which will be surely east for the party's nominee, whoever it may he. Of course, the Fortieth Congress will count the voto of no State which Is not repro-. sented. ' In order to preserve the peace and to insure the success of the national party, It will be neces sary for Congress to aid the South, and by some relief prevent wholesale starvation and conse quent disorderd. One way is to remove the pre- sent rebel State organizations aud substitute loyal provisional ones in their places. Another is, of course, by the appropriation of some money. It will bo necessary foistite party In and out of Congress 'to aid the Republicans there to carry the Constitutions and elect their State tickets.

Exciting Murder Trial in lowa—Fifty Men Mead) to Lynch the Murderer if Acquitted. [From the Dubuque (Iowa) Timer, Dec. 251 The trial of Samuel P. Watkins for the murder of Samuel S. Cronk, perpetrated near Cotton vine.. Jackson county, on the night of the 21st of last January, at Andrew, terminated last Tuesday. It commenced on Thursday, the 19th lust. The jury were out 16 hours, and returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. At 11 o'clock Tuesday night Judge Richman pronounced the sentence of death upon the prisoner—the time of the execution being set for the 21st of Feb ruary-, 1868. The trial of John B. Bucklin and Calvin Nelson, indicted for the smile murder, was postponed till next term. Our Andrew corre spondent writes us as follows concerning the trial murder : om.the commencement this trial has created much interestin Jackson county. The g eneral' character which the deceased bore, and many other circumstances connected with the affair, tended to raise the popular excitement. Wat kins had the assistance of able and experienced counsel, and every indulgence was granted him during the progress of the case. The evidence, though .eircumstantlal, pointed directly to his complicity in the tragedy, and could not be satis factorily explained upon any other hypothesis. The fasts are as follows: On the 21st of Janu ary last Crock started for Lamotto to servo a sub poma at Cottonville. Ile fell in with Watkins and others, old companions in arms of the 31st lowa, who persuaded him to accompany them to a party at Pardy's that night. After the party Cronk proceeded to Lamotte, returning to Cot tonville next day at 10 A. M., where he met Watkins, who solicited him to go to George Nelson's, a distance of about three miles and a half, to spend the day with the family. Between -1 and , a P.M. Croak spoke of, starting for home, but was dissuaded by Watkins,' , who insisted that be should stay that evening. About B P. M Cronk and Watkins left Nelson's together for home.' At 11.30 that night Watkins Was seen thirty or forty rods south of Cotton vile on his way home. The next morning the dead body of Cronk, minus his pants, was found by some school children about two miles west of Nelson's in a field near the road, his skull broken in three or four places. There were two or three tracks in the snow in the road near the body, showing that more than one man participated in the crime. About the first of April the body of Cronk's horse was acciden tally discovered tied to a tree within one hun dred rods of Cottonville, with two tracks leading to the tree, and then from' it, corresponding in size to the defendant's boots. About the same time and near the house, the pocket-book of Crook was found, as were also the pants, in some brush; near Bucklin's house. Watkins lived with Bncklin. A few days after a piece of clevis was found near the scene of the murder, the other part of which was found at. Bucklin's, and with which the deed was evidently committed, as it fitted exactly to the wound on the forehead. When the discovery of Croak's hone was made known to Watkins, be staggered forward, leaned against a table for support, and said, " I am sorry! I am sorry!" The trial was a long one, occcupyinfr twelve days. The case was submitted to the jury at 11.30 P. M., on the 23d inst. At 1.30 P. M. on the 24th they returned a verdict of "guilty of murder in the first de gree" upon the first count in the indictment, witch, was, as the Court in passing sentence stated, supported by . the law and the facts. A etronger ease of circumstantial evidence was never presented to a jury for conviction. The trial passed off quietly, and although the people manifested a deep interest in the result, no undue excitement or manifestation of violence to the prisoner was at any time exhibited. Opposed to our correspondent's statement In re gard to the strength of the evidence, is that of another party, who says that Watkins was not convicted by the evidence, but by public excite ment, and it would seem that this jury had hard work to agree upon a verdict. There was one band of fifty men present at the trial, who had sworn to lynch Watkins If the jury did not con vict him. The defence was conducted by Win. Graham, Esq., of this city, and T. A. Wynkoop, Esq., of Bellevue, who were appointed by the Court, and by C. M. Dunbar, 01 Maquoketa, who volunteered. L. A. Ellis, District-Attorney, was assisted by B. 'P. Darling in the prosecution. Forty witueses were examined on the part of the State, and forty-eight forth() defence. A Child Poisoned and Thrown into tho River att. Eitshicilit Lamming [From thu Newburgh, N. Y., Journal, Doe.

Suspicion points to an unknown woman who was around the station building all day Christmas. She waa a singular looking female, and rather bhabbily dressed.

She was asked by the Station Agent, Col. McKay, when she had been lingering around after the passage of the trains each way, whether or not she wanted too away.

Reynolds. commanding - the U. 8. eteamc rLaclunwanna, for wards a communication to the Navy Department dated at Honolulu,-Nov. 12th, iriclosingla copy of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, containing an account of the discovery of „land in the Arctic Ocean, by the American whale ships Nile, Rein deer, Monticello, and others, during the past summer. The article states that the past summer WA been the mildest and most favorable for whaling ever known by our oldest whalemen. One mas terl.eays he did not see a piece of ice as large as his hand until he reached the straits, and even beyond that, up to 7'2, the sea was genertliffree from floating ice. The weather for the most part has been exceedingly mild, with southwest wind prevailing, which has tended to molt the lee or drive it northward. As a result of the favorable state of the ocean and weather, the ships have gone farther north this summer than ever before, some having reached as high as latitude 70 deg. 30 min. Captain Long, of the bark Nile, seems to have examined the land most attentively, having cruised along the entire southeni coast, and had drawn a sketch of its appearance. It is quite' elevated, and near the- centre has an extinct crater cone, which he estimated to be 2,480 feet high. He named it Wrangell's Land, after the noted Russian explorer. The west point he named Cape Thomas, after the seaman. on his ship who discovered it, and the southeast point Cape Haivaii. With regard to the extent of the- Island there is only conjecture. As near as could be learned, no one had landed anywhere on it, Though several vessels coasted within a few miles of it. The southern shore runs a distance of about one hundred miles east and west. In a communication from Captain Long of the Nile, which is published as a part of the news paper aFttele, he states : " While at anchor near this placeVapt. Philllps,of the Sionticello,came on board and drew my attention to a large black place on the slope' of the hills, and he said he thought it was coal. We examined it with the telescope, and it has a very.distinet appearance as coal." Captain Long also states his conviction that it is inhabited, as there were numbers of walrus in the vicinity and the land appeared more green than the main coast of Asia and quite as capable of supporting man as the northern puts of Greenland, which are in a much higher latitude. The Navy Department has received despatches _frOna Cornmander_Chandler,of the_United States steamer Don, dated Vera Cruz, December I.sth. He states that the yellow fever broke out es board of his ves:-el on the 20th of November. It , proved to be of the worst malignant type. He was - ordered to the above port, and on ar riving there the ship was anchored with a spring, and was always broadside to the wind. The sick were at once landed, and their clothing and bed ding aired. The ship was thoroughly impreg nated with yellow fever. Commander Chandler caused the hatches of I,erth deck and ward-room to be securely closed. One joint of the steam heater in the berth deck was disconnected, and the same operation per formed in the ward-room. A themometer was lowered through a small slit in the talpanlin t and after.two hours steaming in the ward-room it indicated '205 degrees, and on the berth deck 170 degrees. The batches were then opened, decks dried, the down joints of the steam heaters replaced, and in two hours More there was no indication of the extreme heat to which those places had been exposed to. No new .cases of fever oc3urred afterward. We bad twenty-three cases on board, and seven, men died. Commander Cbandlcr Informed the department that he is fully persuaded that the heat eradicated the disease as effectually as a severe frost could have done. Mr. Burlingame telegraphs to the Secretary of State that he hos been appointed by the Chinese government Envoy to the Western Powers, has accepted, and would leave Pekin immediately. It is understood that this acceptance of Mr. Burlingame vacates the mission to China, which devolves temporarily on that excellent officer, Mr. S. Wells Williams, as Charg,'.
