[Correspondence of the Phila. Evening Balletin.l ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 16,1868.—gc.ssra. Editors: —Still another.drowning case, and in this, as .well as several others, from sheer recklessness. Joseph Reynolds, the person drowned, was -warned before he went in the water about yen 'Luring out among the breakers, but not heeding, paid the penalty with his life. Previous to the drowning of Reynolds, a narrow escape was made by a young man from your city. While swimming around he was carried beyond the breakers. At one time he seemed to be almost a half-mile from the shore; he tried twice to .eswim through the breakers to reach the beach, .and each time failed, but he had presence of arlind enough to keep outside of them in smooth water. He was rescued in an almost , exhausted condition - by one of the surf - boats. „Had be not been an extraordinary swimmer he mould certainly have perished. • flaturd.sy night will long be remembered by the visitors of Atlantic as one of real enjoyment. Tam- was a eplendid hop at the.Unlted States Dacrie% EL was lirreality a superb affair, and was „gotten up under the _direction of Mr. Simon' „Hassler. The large dining room was profusely , alecorated with flags, and other emblems, which . gave it a varied and elegant appearance. The room was crowded, the dresses of the ladies costly and elegant. Taken altogether, I should Judge it was the success of the season. At the Surf House, Mr. Thompson, the pro- Trietor, had arranged a "Grand Concert and Jaop" combined. The concert commenced at 834 o'clock P. N., with' the following talent: Mrs. Zosephine Schlmpf, Miss Leonie Petry and a lady amateur; Thee. Habeiman, Jean Louis; Xrof. Thunder, and Wm. Stoll, Jr. It was a real %mat, and put one so ranch in .mind of home at ,peeing and hearing these [familiar and capable .artistes. Mr. Habelman and-Mrs: SchimPf were :both heartily , encored. • The concert was through Bey 10 o'clock, and presio, change, in five minutes •%he orchestra, led by Carl Bentz, was •playing a ala waltz, and the floor was soon well filled by -those who delight in terpsichorean pleasures. ‘..,ghe hop was kept going until within a few min -ntes.of 12 o'clock, when the -party separated, :Highly delighted with the evenings entertain ment. In this connection I will have to thank • Mr. Charles Heaton for his kindness and coartesy , mxtended to your correspondent. Sunday morning, at- St. Nicholas Catholic -tChurch, ---- High - Mass -was celebrated - Rev: Father Crane. The church was crowds , more tso than usual, owing, I suppose, to the presence Z.l] . a the choir of the poptilar singers mentioned .-nibove. The organ was played by Prof. Thunder. "in the evening a grand concert was given in aid 40f - the - ehurch u -which -must have netted a very 3standsome amount, for the church was again wrowded, persons availing themselves of the latter - .position in preference to paying one dollar, the Trice of tickets. The weather is delightful, being pleasantly warm through the day, and Just cold enough at night to make one feel that a blanket is comfort able. • The bathing Is splendid, especially when the tide is on the flood, and then all one has to do to • get a good bath is to walk in the surf to your knees, when the breakers will easily flow over your shoulders— -Wall-persona-would - bathe- in this manner, I am sure you would never hear of a droivning case.

To meet these, tac tics worthily and expose their bareness a popu lar address has been prepared on the spot, which sets the facts in a true light, and as -the same ,work may have to be done in other constituencies the address may perhaps be found useful as all example of animated popular appeal. It opens -t-" Brother electors! Be not deceived. The tory canvassers din you with the cry of 'No Popery,' and charge , their opponents with the daign of fostering Popery in Ireland by the aid of the State. How can these men make such statements in the presence of each other and help laughing outright? The cry applies to their own party; the charge rebounds from the accused and strikes fatally against the accusers. Whet are the facts? At the beginning of the present session of Parlia ment the government deemed ituecessary to de clare its Irish policy. Lord Mayo, the Chief Sec retary for Ireland, sketched that policy, after a formal notice, to a full - and expectant ,House of Commons. What were its main features? Pro testant ascendency was to be abandoned; a Ro man Catholic University to be endowed by the State, and an approach to religions equality to be made by a leveling ' _process. I • other words, the Catholic priests were to be raised to the same position as regards the State as the Pro tenant clergy, and we were to have in effect two established Churches in Ireland, at the expense of the people. The plan surprised everybody and pleased nobody. The liberal party were utterly opposed to it. All the Presbyterians of Scotland were outraged by it. The -Protestant dissenters of England would not hear of it. The best portion of the members of oar own Church" in this country cried shame upon it; and the Ro man Catholics of Ireland deciared they would, have none of it. The scheme was too clever by:, half. No wonder that accomplished dissembler, Mr. D,lsraell, was ashamed of his offspring and tried to repudiate it. • - IFILATIOE: Culled Stoles Biavat Affairs—Move. anents of she American Squadron— Earragutle Squadron Divided—spa .lesion of Each Vessel. Halms, July 23, 1868.—The ecrrvette, - Ticor.- deroga, Captain Robert H. Wyman, came into port on Tuesday last from Cowea, having left on Monday in company With the Franklin, Corn ratidOrte-Pennoc Waring Admintl - Farragntia, flag, and the corvette Canandaigua, Captain, strong., The gunboat Swatara, Commander Jeffers, has also been here for's while. The little squadror. hat Admiral Farragut collected in English wa ters is again divided; and each vessel is now on an independent cruise to make the Anal visits to the various European porta on the Atlantic, coast. The Franklin saileAtdirect for Gibraltar, where_ she will touch for a day or two,and then straight way sail for Smyrna, where the gunboat Frolic, Commander Barmony, is orderpd to meet her. The Admiral will then transfer his flag to the Frolic and proceed to the Bosphorus, to visit Constantinople and pay his respects to the Sultan. airs. Farragut and Mrs. Pennock came over In the Ticonderoga as passengers from Cowes, and' escorted by Surgeon Bannon, of the Franklin, Fleet, Secretary Welles and Lieutenant Loyal Farragut,' of the army, proceeded to Paris and thence to Vienna, where they will take a steam-, boat to the Black Bea and to Constantinople, where they will join the Admiral and participate in the amusements and pleasures of the Turkish capital. The Admiral was a good deal troubled to find a country to visit that ho had not already seen. In this quandary be met Sir Lytton Bulwer the English Ambassador to the Sultan, at a dinner given to Mr. Longfellow in London, and the di plomat was so enthusiastic in his description of the beauties of the Golden Horn that he finally, prevailed upon the Admiral to visit Constanti-, nople. Bo the Turkish trip was decided upon , and the Franklin is already on the way for her destination. After the visit to Turkey is completed a ran. w 111 be made to the Levant and the various islands of the East. In the early part of October the Admiral will, come out of the Mediterranean and the squadron will rendezvous at Lisbon, and on the 15th of October, if no change is made in the present pro gramme, the Admiral will sail for New York in, the Franklin and the squadron will be placed under the command of Vice Admiral Porter, who' is named for the place if he will take it, or Rearj, Admiral Rfidford. ? The 'Ticonderoga ' Captain Wyman, remains` here a few days and then goes to Cherbourg too, dock and undergo some slight repairs. After the of the needed work upon her she - sail for Brest, and atter spending a effort time,!' there will Make a cruise in the Bay of Biscay,visit-i tag the ports of Bordeaux, Ferrol, Cadiz and! Lisbon, arriving at the latter port the middle of September. The Canandaigua has gone on a cruise around the British islands. She will visit the ports of Queenstown, Kingstown, ' Leith, Glasgow, sand then Hamburg and Bremen and a French port; rendezvousing at Lisbon in September. The Swatara has sailed for • Cherbourg, where she is to be docked to make some repairs on the shoe of her rudder, which has given way a little by long service. After leaving Cherbourg she will visit Brest, L'Orient, Bordeaux, and thence go to Lisbon. , ' . • i n i Since the return of the Canandaigua from tit' East a court of inquiry and a court martial hay been held on the flagship while at Southampto - During her voyage 'down the Adriatic the Can andaigua ran ashore and sustanied some slight nrunagea, not to exceed, perhaps, e 1,100.. 'Upon the arrival of the corvette in English waters a court of inquiry was convened by order of the Admiral, as • is usual in such cases, to ascertain whether blame attached to Captain Strong for the damage to the 'ship. The court consisted of , Commodore - Pennock and Captains Le Roy and Wyman. One of the results of the finding of the' court was the formation 'of a court marrtial, which tried Lieutenant Cour mender Dlchman, executive of the Canandaigua, and Master Eads,officer of the deck at the time of the accident. On the evidence Lientenant CoM mender Dichnum was found not guilty, and Mas ter Ends guilty of disobedience of the rules of the service, and sentenced to three years' suspen sion from rank, to receive only retired pay of his grade.

Lrgymen of Brooklyrt and one of the I regular contribntora of the ndvendent, gives; in the New York Evangelist, the following dam , aging testimony in regard to .Frank Blair's early character: _ - "It is a wonder that our indolent and drunken college classmate, Frank Blair, has been floral?. nated for that high office which Andrew Johnson once disgraced by his. intoxication. Poor Blair's only distinction in college was his amputation of a class•mate's nose with a carving -knife, in a tipsy sprees And now he is nominated on the same ticket with the man whose first prominent public act was to veto - the Prohibitory Liquoi: Law in New York."-- -An old'proverb, arranged to suit the times: "Speech is S(cymour)ilver, but silence is G(rant) olden." —The spirit - Of imitation is strong even with Presidential candidates. It is said that when the intelligence reached-St.-Joseph, that Sey mour was last seen on his farm putting in new hay, Blair, who was in the place, immediately put in a little old rye. - —Some Democrats , were laughing at the la conic character of General Grant's speech to the OUR *.tIOLE COVNITRY. serenaders at St. Louis, when a Republican re marked that he would bet there were no ilea in It, at any rate, which was more than could be e aid of the speeches of their candidate;._ and, be f.ides," Grant ' would have more to say on the fourth of Text March than they *mkt want to hear. . .

Preparations may be prerentivep brit, if in spite of preparations the conflict isprecipitated upon us, it can have but one conclusion. The negro element in the South is like a gangrene upon the body politic, and the first drop of - blood shed in a servile war trill be the signal for the extermination of the Whole If such.a war meat come, let it come quickly. Tke South wants peace, and if it is now to be re quited to wade through a see of blood to reach it, the sooner commenced the sooner ended. Our. white aides in Maryland and Kentucky, not to mention States further North, may be relied on for assistance, if we need it.—Richmond Ex aminer. • The Kentucky Times gape "We venture the assertion that if Blair were elected President instead of Vice President; and there should be left out some States of thei !kWh by virtue of the recent legislation of Congress, he would ,wipe it all out, take possession o f the ,JVhite House, and blot out the record of infamy made by Congress since 1865." —This is from the Memphis Appeal: "Go on,boys; swear to murder Northern Runs! Arm yourselves and organize, and be „ready to respond promptly when celled on, and fight bravely, even if you get killed!" The same rebel sheet says :—"We do not ad , mit that the consolidation of the States and the destruction of their sovereignty are lAitimated by the'result of the appeal to arms. - We do not love, and will not pretend to love, that Union, though we have agreed.to,,obey the laws-of the -conqueror. - Ifille - airtUnion — carmot - birrestored - , - we will hope to see the South independent before we die; and if Jacobixiism is to become supreme In the North, we wish there could be an iprempas sable wall or gulf of tire between it and our , ' Southern States.

To-the President and members of the Republican State Convention to meet at Nashville, August 1.0, 1868,--Girrtruimmir: Being denied the pleasure and honor of meeting with you in person and par ticipating in your deliberations, I take this me thod to express to yon my hearty sympathy with you and the great Republican party of the ation, of which you are a part. I congratulate you upon what I deem thecertain success of Grant and Col fax—the former the greatest General of the age, and the latter the foremost - statesman - of - the no - Lion, in the pending canvass; and I also congrat ulate you upon the certain - -utter-defeat of Sey mour and Blair, the staudard bearers of the party of revolution and of tfire restoration of the "lost cause." The conflict is, and is to be sharp, bit ter, and unscrupulous, so far as our opponents are concerned, but we may well conclude this is their "last ditch," and that beaten here (as beaten they most assuredly will be), the threatened tem ple of our . national liberty and laws will stand forth in its integrity unmarked by the strife, and its permanence assured. In order to secure our triumph and perpetuate our party in Tennessee, it is of the utmost importance that harmony pre vail in our councils. At a time like the pres ent a true man would rather sac rifice his own interest and submit to forego big own person , claims than to imperil the success of the suss on which so much depends, by insisting pon them. When emigrants come to settle ji . our State, they should be Welcomedwith ea est cordiality, with out stopping to inquire, . it, on which side of the Ohio they were born. Missouri, which has adopted the policy I suggest, and which, more than any other State, has received large acces sions of population and wealth by emigration, will give, it is supposed, a larger majority for Grant and Colfax than she did, in 1864, for Lin coln. Trusting that you will have a harmonious , and profitable session, and that when , you separ ate it shall be to • return to your homes and work for our noble cause like beavers, I have the honor to remain, with high consideration, yours most respectfully, Knoxville, Aug. 10,1868. W. G. BROWNLOW. Shod! Island—. Speech of Gen. Burn. A meeting was held at the Horse Guards' Ar mory, Providence, Friday eyening, of the sol diers and sailors in the late rebellion, now resi dent in Rhode Ishuni, to take the preliminary steps toward—forming —a ”Central -Grant- and-- Colfax Club." Col. E. Metcalf called the meet ing to order, and after stating the object of the meeting, nominated Gen:_.A.. E. Burnside for Chairman. The nomination was received with great applause' and General Burnside was unanimously and enthusiastically - elected. General Burnside came forward and thanked the meeting for the honor conferred, and said : " Comrades--we all knowthe object for which this meeting is called.:We have gone through a long and hardy campaign, and now• we are called for another. The issues are not' changed. We are animated by the same senti ments and principles now as then. The same men who opposed the war for the Union are, now the allies of the enemies of our coun try.. It requires no studied, eloquence nor elaborate statement to teach ns our duty in the I coming campaign, but it is simply to sustain the Government and support ; those who sustained us when itt the field. The' same people.who oppoed as when fighting the'_ battles of our country, now oppose the election of Grant and Colfax, and advocate the electien of Seymour and Blair. They are the same men who. told you and told me we never could conquer the,. rebels, and the men whom we must meet ' at the' polls and finish with the ballot the work we sup posed was'done 'with the bullet, by the election of Grant and Colfax. The issue is as plain and distinct as in the ; last election, when Abraham Lincoln. was elected and General -McClellan de feated. It is the old contest of loyalty with-dhs loyalty, and in that contest I am with you heart and soul." - - - Grant and Contracts. In 1862, while Gimbral Grant was 'commanding in Tennesadet'lliere was a great rush to speculate in cotton. Some merchants in Cincinnati named Mack caught the fever, and; thinking they might make money, took Jesse R. Grant, father of the Generalinto-partnershipT and - went to head quarters in the. , hope of getting special privi leges.

Becker , D'D., and - Right Rev James Gibbons, D. D., were solemnly consecrated Bishops ,at the Roman Catholic Church, in Pre* isence of a vast congregation. Long before the hour announced for the commencement of the proceedings, the spacious cathedral was densely crowded in every part, so much so, indeed; that standing room could scarcely be obtained, -While at the doors and around the building =immense congregation aosembled. The ceremonies,which began at 10 o'clock, were,perfonned with all the impreesivp grandear characteristic of the Church, and tit occasion was rendered' even more than - usually usually august from the fact that there were two candidates to whom the great power of episco pacy was to be commufficated. The Right Rev. Dr: Becker formerly belotured to the Cathedral of IliclimoraLand the Right Rev. Dr. Gibbons was late Secffitaty tolhe Archbishop of this city, the Most Rev. M. J.

At ten to clock the grand procession proceeded fromthe west door of the Archbishop's 'residence, t pasein,g around the south aide of the cathedral within the enclosure, and entered the sacred edifice by the Main-door. It was a splendid epectacie, and was rendered, additionally imposing by all the surrounding circumstances, Sweet strains ; ose_ aloft, myriads' of lights illuminated the grand altar, shining ' brightly' oh the -- many works of art within their( the vast multi tude knelt in silence and the proces sion moved slowly up the • aisles. First came the acolyten, then students from the Semi nary, arrayed in appropriate costume, next the clergymen who were to assist at the proceediugs, and lastly, the dignitaries of - the church, with the, two bishops elect. The assistant bishops to the right of Rev. Dr. Gibbon& were- theilight-Rev. Bishop of Wheeling and Rev:Dr.McGill; Bishop of _Richmond, and the assistant bishops to the rWit of the Rev. Dr. Becker were the Right 'Rev. Drs. Lynch, Bishop of Charleston, and Domenic, Bishop of Pittsburgh. The office of first deacon of honor was performed by the Rev. Thos. Foley, and that' of the second deacon of honor by the Rev. Francis McNicrny, of Now York. Rev. P. P. Dennis was the officiating deacon, and Rev. H. M. Chapin officiating sub-deacon. Rev. S. Ferte was first master of ceremonies, and was assisted in the various duties by the Rev. W. Leguerre and Itev. L M. Mace. The other bishops present were the Right Rev. Drs. Bayley, Bishop of Newark, N. J.; O'Hara, Bishop of Scranton, and Bishop Shanahan, of Harrisburg: Arrived at the altar rails the processionists filed off on either side, and the consecrating pre late and attendants proceeded with the imposing ceremony. The two senior assistants having presented the elect to the consecrator, the apos tolic commission was then called for and read and the oath taken on beaded - knees, after which the other sacred rites were performed. Deadrip tion chaveys but a faint plea of the solemnity of the occasion or the general routine invariably gone through. The prostration of the bishops elect on the 11- or of the sanctuary was very im pressive. Their subsequent examination as to their duty and anointment of holy oil, the singing of the litanies and sacred canticles, the blessing of the crozier and rings, emblems of pastoral au thority and fidelity respectively, and the solemn -benedictions and prayers — all these points were witnessed by the multitude with the greatest de votion, and did not fail to impress the beholder with the importance of the occasion. Daring the progress of the ceremonies,which I lasted nearly five hours, the heat- was intense, and although the cathedral was.. filled, to its at most capacity no casualty occurred: The musi cal arrangements were admirable. Mozart's "Grand March, No. 12," was performed by a full choir said with organ and orcheetral acoompani ments, with fine effect. The 'ceremony of pla cing the new bishops on the episcopal chair be ing performed, the Te Dann . was sung and the' proceedings were brought to a close with a sol emn benediction. The Right Rev.
