POLTCICAL. Wade Hampton Serenaded in Clmrlo*- ' ■ ton, b. Di—TJho Rebel tint to *»C 4*ro served and CticriNticd, General'TVodo Hampton, was complimented • with a serenade at tils hotel In Charleston, ■on Saturday evening, the 25th inetnnt. About two >;- thousand persons were present, nnd tho Utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Wo copy from tho report In the Courier of the 27th: General'Hampton, offer repeated calls, made his appcaranco, and was balled with long and continued shouts of ap plause. “Dixie” was again called for, and with the shouts that almost drowned the notes, was kept up for fully flvo minutes, during which time Gen. Hampton was standing on tho balcony, waiting to bo heard. Silence at length being re stored, ho said: Fellow Citizens— Your kindness is 60 great and overpowering on tills occasion that it makos mo a bankrupt in thanks. As many of you who heard mo last night know, I am suffering from a severe cold; to-night my voice is in a worse con dition than on last night; still, ns you are here, many of you my old comrades and fellow-sol diers, I will endeavor to recall some of tho mem „ptiwjt»f. .the past..that...now.rush upqnjne.__He_ then said that he had hot forgotten how many gallant soldiers Charleston had furnished him. It was here that he raised his first company— [cheers I—and ho could not forgot them. [A voice “"No.” | He could not forget that this com mand of his gave more gallant officers to the cause than any other in the service. There was Conner—fehccrsl—Garey,Logan—| cheers']—you remember him—[A voice, “We do !J—and But ler. the brave, generous Butler. A Voice—Not tho Beast. General Hampton—No! A voice—Threegroans for the Beast. These were given with effect. A voice—Three cheers for General M. C. Butler. General Hampton then alluded to the dis tinguished services of Captain Stephen Leo, whom he said was the first captain who left this place for the seat of war, and paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the brave and lamented Pettigrew. Thc6o he’ said were some of the offl . cers given by his command. Of the soldiers he need not speak. Tho history of their deeds will speak for them. He had commanded many men during the war,but there were none whooccupied a higher place in his affections, none more en deared to him than those brave soldiers who first went outwith him; [Cheers. ] He then alluded to • the fall of the cauee aDd the subsequent sufferings of the country. He told them that ho had in his possession the flag, shattered and torn, which they loved so well and under which they had fought so long and gallantly. He had preserved it from the general wreck; he had cherished it. | Great applause.] And he intended to keep it until we had a State again, to whoso keeping he would commit it as one of the most cherished ' memories of our unfortunate cause. Ho alluded to the brave troops trora this city commanded by Colonels Rutledge, Davis and other brave officers furnished by Charleston. Ho well remembered When an attack was made on Charleston, he asked leave from tho Secretary of War to call in the members of his legion who were on furlough. He obtained leavo, and as fast os his telegrams reached tho men they came in. All obeyed and came in one by one and in detachments to the dofenco Of old Charleston. He had come down here to 6ee his old comrades. He had been gratified, and he felt, he said, like, a son who had, after a long absence, come home and received a double welcome. It was to Charleston that be first came to raise troops for the war. It was to Charleston that he now came after the war was over and the prospect of peace apptared. His sword, he trusted, was never stained by dishonor or cruelty. [A voice, “Never.” | It had been drawn in defence of his State. He trusted it had been sheathed in honor. And he hoped that it might never be drawn again; but if ever his State needed his sor. vices again, in whatever land he might be, and at any time and under any circumstances, his life was at her disposal. | Cheers. | He thought, however, that the coming victory of the Demo cratic party would restore the South to her rights in the Union, under the constitution of our fore fathers. We must work faithfully, earnestly, zealously. He trusted tnat the groat demonstra tion last night would wake up ' the State to vic tory at the approaching election. In conclusion he said: Believe mo, fellow citizens, I am more touched by tho kindness you have shown me than I can ex press. This occasion will always be cherished as one of the happiest memories of my life, and I trust that you may all be happy, prosperous and free. General Hampton retired amid the most en thusiastic shouts, tho band, as if catching the inspiration,struck up “Auld Lang Syne,” nnd for a few moments the wildest excitement prevailed. Presidential Paragraphs. —“Grant has got to work early if he expects to get a vietory ; ” qaoth a Democrat. “He ‘worked' Early once in the Shenandoah and got one," quoth a Republican. —Among the innumerable puns on the name of the Democratic candidate, which may be classed as passable, had and indifferent, is the following, embodied in toast for a Democratic barbecue: “Here’s to the old Democratic hulk; she needs but one sea more to sink her.” —A 'correspondent commenting on the course of the New York World , in speaking of Grant as “Hiram,” says: “If Bt. Paul were •our candidate for the Presidency, Moses M. Mar ble wopld dub him Saul Tnrsus, and on that ground try to beat him with Judas Iscariot. —There is a farmer in'Jones county, lowa—so The Anamosa I'.urtJ:a affirms—who will vote for ■Seymour and Blair, aud who supports his deter tnination by the declaration that “the meanest, most contemptible thing them fellowß down to Congress have done was to send a lot of bureaus to them freed men down South.” —The Albany Journal sayß: “It was Pendleton yvho dictated the nominations at New York. It waß Pendleton who prescribed the terms of the platform. It is Pendleton who has assurance f rom Gov. Seymour of hearty concurrence in his views, and the promise that they shall be carried Into effect if a Democratic President is elected. Make Seymour President, and Pendleton, as Sec retary of State, would be the power behind the throne, giving character and direction to all the movements of the Executive. No wonder that the Ohio demagogue ‘indorsed Gov. Seymour in very strong language.’ ” —Thurlow Weed writes from Europe to The ■ Commercial : “We heard last night of the Demo •cratic nomination for President. The result seriously disappointed me. But that lam strictly prohibited from reading newspapers, or thinking of public affairs, I should have much to say on this subject. If 1 had a thousand voices to raise, and as many votes to cast, they should all be pro nounced and deposited for Grant, and against Seymour. —The Fort Wayne (Ind.) Gazette publishes the following: Democracy —Do you regard the Na tional Debt ? It should be paid in gold, Horatio. Horatio—'By the mass, and 'twill be paid in gold indeed. Dem —ln greenbacks, Horatio. Far better in greenbacks. Dor —Quite right, my lord; greenbacks it is. Dem— Or else repudiate, //or—-Just the thing, my lord. | Democracy exit. | Horatio (solus)—He who steals my prin ciples steals trash; ’tis something, nothing. ’Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thou sands; but he that takes my honor from me, robs me of that which naught enriches him and makes me poor iDdeed. —The Mobile Register (Seymour and Blair), speaking of the rebel yell in Tammany Hall when the selection of Seymour was announced, Bays: “How clear that Dote used to ring upon the air of Vicksburg of a night in years long past! And who that heard it, or heard bf"it, will ever forget the panic it sent to the Mexicans when Jefferson Davis's Mississippians pealed it forth at the wel -come ordei to charge the works of Monterey. Yon can read it now m the Mississippi papers as they recount the incidents of their recent victory over violence and fraud, and it will make the air resonant lrom the Bio Grande to the Potomac at the last irresistible charge next November, cheer ing the hearts of our Democratic friends and chilling those of our oppressors. Stand by for that yell." Boys in Blue, do you train with this crowd? —A very effective ipantumhie, entitled The Women of the Age, is played at the Cluuy Theatre, Paris. The firs. Ecene represents a gay crowd of demi-mondaines at the Pre Catelan all of them in splendid dresses ant. covered with . flashing diamonds. The next scene is entitled “Twenty years later,” and the same women make - their appearance in rags, as ugly harridans, and armed with broomsticks, like the well-known le male sweep brigade of Paris,which,in great part, consists of the demi-mondaines of 1830 and 1810. " The audience always growß very thoughtful during the second scene. f , CRIME. THE ITIILLICAIV BIOT. Particnlais of lUc Slaughter. A correspondent of the Memphis Post writes from Texas full details of tho tragedy at Milllcan, now a station, and formerly tho torminus of the Texas Central Railroad, which has a population of 25 to 75 whites, and from 800 to 600 blacks. The place has but, two or three, stores. The ne groes la and about Milllcan have had several colored orators among them lately, together with other mon of no character whatever, who have stirred them up-to a spirit of revenge upon tho whites for tho sum total or their many and manifold misdeeds and mistreatment in times past. These men, during tho past throe months have been (and until lately) si lently engaged in drilling tho colored men, who are all armed cither with doublo-barrolcd shot-guns or revolvers, or both, nnd sometimes more than one revolver. Recently one Holliday has been under a great deal of suspicion of having been concerned as a'ringleader in tho hanging of a negro man, who was found in tho contiguous woods to Milllcan and in the Brazos bottom, and for which suspicion or murder nothing had been done by thewhltes. It further appears that either to prevent tho escape of one of tho Hollidays im plicated in the murder, or, as acknowledged by some of the black men who were taken prisoners by the whites, it was resolved to avenge thoir comrade’s death. To that end tho negroes, last Tuesday, tho 14th instant, to the number of from fifty to sixty, all Bplendidly arqied and riding horses,dashed boldly into and through the town of Milllcan with the public avowal thal they were going down to Holliday Brothers’ place—two miles from town—to hang Holliday; also saying that they had enough men to kiU every white man in tho county. The negroes proceeded od their way, but did not find Holliday, and started to return. In tho meantime Deputy Sheriff Pa*- tlllo, who happened to bo in Millican, saw the negroes depart, and apprehending the conse quences, called together, and, “in the name of tho law,” pressed 20 or 25 willing men, most, if not all, of whom were ex-rebel soldiers, and immedi ately started in pursuit of tho negroes, who had done no more as yet than I have here related. De puty Sheriff Patillo and party met the negroes a short distance from the town. A'few words of par ley ens»ed. The Sheriff,it is said,ordered them to deliver their arms and return to their homes. The negroes refused, and, as Bryan, the Bureau offi cer, remarked, “one of the damn fool niggers ac cidentally allowed his gun to go off.” This was all that was wanted, it was but' an instant, and in the next the whites had emptied their guns and charged upon tho now terror-stricken ne groes, who, leaving five of their dead on the road across which the Shoriff halted them, instantly formed into, lino of battle. Beveral of tho negroes -Were wounded, and many of Iheir hordes were killed and wounded. The fight" was not kept up, and, as ij was getting dark, the command of whifq men, which had been considerably augmented by this time by old men, boys, and others who could get arms, returned to Millican. Messengers were immediately sent up to Bryan, a distance of six teen miles, and to Navasota.a distance of only ten miles, and by ono o’clock an express train came down from Bryan, bringing about 250 white men. who were all well armed, and looked as though they were going to a frolic. Guard, pickets and reliefs were appointed oh both sides, and within hearing distance of each other. The pnncipal leader of the negroes—who numbered, according to the prisoners’statements, between 600 and 800 colored men of all shades of color—at that time wsb Parson Brooks, who has lived in Millican many months, officiating as preacher, school teacher, and President of the Loyal League. It teems that he wished to compromise, but on Wednesday another skirmish took place, and shortly slier night upward of 20 negroes were dead. The number of wounded has not been as certained, as the negroes carried off their wound ed. Flags of truce passed between the parties a day Jong; and under the same, permission was given the negroes to bury their dead, which they did to the number of nine bodies. On Wednesday evening 50 or 60 of the Bryan people returned borne. On Thursday, the 16th, your correspond ent and his brothers left the cl ;y of Hempstead for the scat of war. On the same train a com pany of the 26th United Stateß regulars arrived there, and as our party, about 30 men (including soldiers), got off, we were heartily welcomed, as information had been received from negro spies —against the rioters—that unless soldiers came upon the train the negroes, to the number of 600, under “Parson” Brooks and three other negro captains, would attack the town and the people in it—men, women and children. LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. Commencement at Easton Yesterday. The commencement exercises called out a large number of Alumni and friends of the Col lege. The church was filled with an appreciative audience, and the whole town seemed on the </ui t ire, as though there was some absorbing object which engrossed the public mind.

Scott. The benediction was pronounced and the audi ence dispersed. At the conclusion of the exor cises in the Church, the procession reformed and moved to the lecture room of the German Re formed Church, where a bountiful collation had been spread by the ladles ot Easton. This was served out by their fair hands to their guests, which made the feast more agreeable. After justice had been done to the bountiful provision, interesting speeches were made Try Ex-Governor Pollock, who presided; by President Cattoll, Mr. Pardee.-Of Easton; Wm. Adamson, of Philadelphia; Mr. McCoy, of Now York; Prof. Lyman Coleman, President Muhlen burg, of the college at Allentown, Pa.; Mr. Howell, the Valedictorian, Rev. Dr. Edgar, of Easton, and Rev. Mr. Johnson, of the Synod of Philadelphia. Thus the exercises closed with the best of feeling. The impression left on tho minds of all was happy, nDd Lafayette Is nearer titan over to the hearts of all. —Robert Prutz, an eminent German poet and critic, says: “Not a few German critics are sur prised that the American reading public should take so much interest in Louisa Miihlbach’s pub lications. If they merely like her books on Frederick tho Great, Joseph thoHecond and Na poleon, we do not wonder, for those works are, whatever may be thought of their artistic value, quite readoble; but if they derive any pleasure from such unmitigated trash ub L. Miibdbach’s late works on the period of Storm and Stress, on Schiller and Goethe, and her Prince Eugene are, then the American public must stand much lower and be by far less cultivated than we thought it was.” • THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 30 1868. Distillery Burned.— Last night about twelve o’clock a fire broke out in the of WIT liam Murray, Nos. 128 and 130 Dock street. The buildings are of brick, four and a half stories in height'. The flameß originated on. the first floor of No. 128, and spread rapidly through tho build ing. Tho structure was completely wrecked, nothing remaining but the walls. The greater portion of the machinery, apparatus and fixtures were destroyed. There was not much wlxlsky or material on hand. The engine and boil ers are in prettv good condition. The fire worked mto No. 130 • several times, hut, by tho exertions of the firemen, was prevented from doing any BCrious damage thore. The machinery was tomowhat injured by water. Mr. Murray values his property at $14,000 and has upon it an insurance of $5,800—53,000 in tho Philadelphia Insurance Company and tho balance in Baltimore companies. The loss cannot bo ascertained, but the insurance will not bo suffi cient to cover it. The buildings belong to Henry Bndd, and are damaged to the oxtont of $5,000, which is insured in the Royal and the County In surance Company of Philadelphia. The furniture establishment of F. A. Weiss, on Second street, suffered -Bomowhatrby-TVatcnn ■ consequence of tho firemen taking their hose through it to get at the rear of tho fire. The loss is covered by insurance in the Fire Association. The fire was caused hv tho vapor escaping from the motor box igniting from a gas light. At the timo there wore three men in tho room. They were engaged in running off a small quantity of mash which was on hand. Whon tho flames appeared above tho meter box the men attempted to extinguish them, but tho burning liquor ran into the cistern and caused it to explodo with a loud noise. The explosion sent tho fire through the building and tne workmen barely escaped with their lives, getting out through the coal hole. While the fire was raging fiercely the heavy mash tubs and other appurtenances fell from the npper stories to the collar. Tho crash caused a temporary panic among tho firemen. Fire at the Navy Yard—The Plumber Shot Destroyed — This morning, about a quarter before four o’clock, the plumber shop ih the Navy Yard was discovered to be on fire. The shop iB located in a range of new buildings located on the north side of tb,o yard, near the largo ship house. In • the same ■ range is the foundry the " moulding shop.

The core oven connected with the foundry runs partly under the second story of the plumber shop, and the beat from the arch of the oven set fire to the floor. Tho flames bnrued slowly until they got to the roof and were thon discovered by the watchman. Tho alarm was given and the Fire Deparlment of the Yard, composed of em ployes and marines, with a steam engine, a hand engine and numerous ladders, went into service. The city fircmeD, with Chief Engineer McChsker, were early upon tho ground, but Commodore Selfridgo refused to admit them into the yard. Several companies went into service on the out side and remained at work for some timo. The second story attic and roof of the plumber shoo were destroyed, as were also tho fixtures, tool’s, &c.. which were In the second story. Thore was very little material ou hand, as work jn the shop hod almost entirely ceased^ Tho roof of the foundry was burned off,and the contents of the building were injured by water. Tho fire was stopped in thegun carriage shop, in which a lot of valuable patterns are stored. The loss will not exceed $5,000, upon which there is no insurance. Policeman Beaten. —Last night John Boat was arrested at Ontario and Parrish streets by Policeman Ilazlilt, of the Eighth District, for riotous conduet, insulting citizens, &c.

They will have a hearing before Aldeiman Massey this afternoon. Runaway and Accident.— This morning four spirited horses, belonging to Mr. Samuel R. Phillips, and attached to his carriage, became frightened, at Broad and Poplar streets, and ran away. The team dashed down Broad street at a fearful rale. The driver, Michael McMannlng, maintained his position, and managed to steer clear of lumber piles, vehicles and other ob stacles, until the runaways reached Wood street. There the wagon was run against a freight car and was broken to pieces. McMannlng was thrown out and was badly cat abont the head. He was conveyed to his „home, at Ontario and Poplar streets.

Persons desirous of purchaßlne or renting cottages at Cape Island would do well to consult him. ciirt bviubiis, Drink tho famous Arctlc Soda Water and read tho Evening at Hillman’s News Stand, at North Pennsylvania Depot. ; i f Glun Grant. Raskin describes In bis volume entitled Tho Two Paths, the wild region of Scotland Inhabited by the Clan Grant; and finds In its rocks and mountains tho sources of that steadfastness of character for which the clan was dlstlngnlshed, and which has been Illustrated by the best repre sentative of tho race In our timo. We quote the following extract: . “In ono of the loneliest districts of Scotland, where tho peat cottages are, darkest, just at the western foot of that great mass of the Grampians which cncirclorfhe sources of the Spey and Dee, the main road of which traverses the chain winds round the foot of a broken rock called Crag or Craig Ellaebio. There is nothing remarkable in cither its height or form; it is darkened with a few scattered pines, nnd touched along Its sum mit with a flush of heather; but it constitutes a kind of headland or leading promontory In tho group of hills to which' it belongs—a sort of in itial letter of the mountains; and thus stands in the minds of tho inhabitants of tho district the Clan Grant for a type of their country, and of _lhe_inflnenco-of. that-countryrtipon-themselves.- Their fcenso of thisls beautifully Indicated In tho war cry of tho clan, ‘Stand fast, Craig Ellachlc.’ Yon may think long over those fow words with out exhausting tho deep wells of feeling and thought contained In them—the love of their na tive land, the assurance of their faithfulness to it; the subdued and gentle assertion of indomitable courage—l may need to bo told to- stand, but, if I do, Craig Ellachlo does. You could not but nave felt, had yon passed be neath it at tho time when so many of England's dearest children were being defended by the strength of heart of men born at its Coot, how often among the delicata Indian palaces, whoso marble was pallid with horror, and whoso ver milion was darkened with blood, tho remem brance of Its rough gray rocks and pnrplo heaths must have risen before the sight of the Highland soldier; how often the hailing of tho shot and tho shriek of battle would pass away from his hearing, and leave on the whisper of the old pino branches—‘Stand fast, Craig EUochie!’ ” CITY NOTICES.
