.A Runaway Locomotive—Fearful
Scene in the Allegheny mountains.
We learn from the Johnstown papers that an
accident somewhat destructive .in: ~ its results
xecently occurred to the engine of. Mr. James
Doran, while descending the Eastern slope of
the Allegheny mountains. It 'seems that Mr.
'Doran had assisted in hauling the Cincinnati ,ex
13press west, and while in the vicinity of Bittaning
oint; on his return trip to Altoona, the 'brake
chain on his engine snapped asunder. With
.great presence 'of mind Mr. Doran reversed' his
cifgine immediately, but the strain on the steam
• chests was too severe, and the result was that one
of them exploded, thus rendering him pow
-oriess 'to control it. The grade • here
la about ninety feet to the mile, and it required
but a few moments for the engine to attain a fear
ful momentum, and Doran and his fireman were,
compelled to abandon it. At this time its speed
could not have been less than forty miles an hour, -
and it is a matter of , astonishment that both
.es
caped without serious injury. The runaway en

The response to this letter, which was as long,
as the moral law, covers some five or six cages,
and was quite carefully considered by the per
sons who show it. Its - substance - has - been nar
rated,, te me by some of those who drew and
signed it; but I am told that it contains nothing
new—only the old story of a desire for peace.
These Southerners repeat their wish for har
mony,. for a constitutional government, for
union, and for a restoration of the rights pro
mised and so unjustly withheld. The letter, I
am told, is in strict harmony with the
Uniform declarations of . Southern men,
with the proceedings of the Southern
Conseivative Conventions, and the New York
platform. It is signed by Lee, and Beauregard, a number of prominent politicians. Among
these are - ex-Governor Welter, Mon. A. H. II
Stuart, Judge W. J. Robertson, Lewis E. Marne
and General Echols, of Virginia; Judge Dotiglas,
of Florida, ex-Governor Pickens, . of South Caro
lina; Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia; Governor
Stockdale,of Texas, and other able and influen
tial mend have no_sort_ofilouht_that it t. a •43 •
fair statement of Southern opinion, and that t
will be accepted as such by all candid men. The
pretence that this is a preconcerted mee of
Southern leaders is pre-eminently absurdting. Bach
is not the tact. .The White Sulphur has
always been a resort for the prominent Sopthern-
ere, and I am able to repo rem a personal ac
qUaintance with all of th: • , , ere save one,that
they did not dream wh.• 4 . ey left home that
they would ever be involved in correspondence
with a Mexican Minister, fresh minted by Seward
and a Radical Senate, and compelled either to
answer his nonsense or allow their eilence to be
distorted:.; by' calumny. To General Lee
all this sort of thing is pre
eminently disagreeable. Earnestly desirous of
the peace, welfare and freedom under the Consti
tution of his people, he seeks no office, and still
less notoriety. ,His great fame can well be left to
take Care of itself. Gen. Beauregard is equally
unselfish and so are nearly all the signers of this
paper. In one or two, may be, the curious may
discern 'some symptoms of a hankering for the
old political arena, that this is too natural to, be
very harshly censured, and I dare affirm that all
would have gone on quietly drinking sulphur
water if Rosecrans had not come up here "in Pur
suit of knowledge under difficulties.
The arrangement _is • that thia correspondence
shall not be made public unless sanctioned by the
National Democratic Committee, but of coarse
Rosecrans will let it out, To smother it now

_ NOSECRANS AND THE-REBELS. -
The Copperhead filde of the Story.
• A correspondent of the Now York World thus
pitches into Resecrans and his mission:
At the recent grand ball, three gentlemen con
ceived the idea of coming in as carpet-baggers
and duly accoutred did be appear in all the glory
of linen dusters, carpet-bags containing one en
tire change of shirts and twp tajath brushes for
the 'Party; and, not content whit' this garb they
acted • the assumed 'characters to the amusement
of not a few. But this was only fun and make
believe. The real article soon appeared in the
person of General Rosemans,
_recently confirmed
by the Senate'ae Mini s te r to Mexico.
Mexico, I bgg to explain; is not' situated In
these Partsteed to come by the White Eallphur
•Is clearly not the shortest route to the Halls of
the Monteztunas. No this Is not Mexico, and
Rosecrans' was so informed by the luminary of
the State Department at Washington__ and came"
herd under that Idea, he Is a swindled individual.
Whether his Salary be new running on or not he
certainly ought to get back his traveling ex
.
Be came utterly unaccredited hinny friend of
the South or any leader. of the °great conserVa
tive party of the North. •True It was; however,
that he claimed verballyr, to be a <person of no
light consequence and Influence, Mut, each per
sons always so purport to be, To borrow an ex
pression of:; Seward* which I like better
than the author, he "adopted hinmele , to repre
sent anyqmty of Yeentems',and Catholics.
e
He also Aimedli medI that he had gone on to see Go
vernor Seymour, and that he was acting with his
approbation, but it was noticeable that he did
not have a scrap of a pen from . that gentleman,
or from any prominent member of the conterva
tive party of - New York. •
Your carpet-bag placemaker, however, dis
dains all pen and Ink credentials:: his tongue is
his passport, and a face of brass an indorser not
to be questioned. And I will here do Rosecrans
the justice to say that .none aids craft—not
even Mr. Herman Donsterawivel himself—could
have talked more plausibly or gotten up in this
chosen sport of youth, beauty and joy a grander
set of political pyrotechnics.
Some seven years ago General Leo chased Rose
crans through these hills. and with wondrous eel
like facility the latter "folded his tent like the
Arab and silently stole away." Bat ihis year it is
Rosecrans who pursues Lee. This grand old sol
dier baa no love for polities,and no special fancy,
I imagine, for the politicians. He never ran for
an office, and has no hankering whatever for the
political arena. Since the war he has been stu
diously reticent antrmodest, refushig large pres
ents o. iarmi and dwellings—a candidate only
for honest hard work, and finding his moderate
recompense for toil as President of the Washing
toe College. Va. Reseerans sought him first at
the Warm Springe, and missed him by a day.
Not daunted by his failure, our adventurous dt 7
plomat starts next for the White Stalphur, over
hauling General Beanregard by the way, and
practicing on him the diplomatic wiles intended
for a fuller development hereafter. •
A rriveda t_theA.Thiteßalphur Hprings,..General-'
Rost crane seeks at once a special interview with
General Lee and tinfoldis his views. These are
the old story of the.charmer or pacificator I have
narrated—that there are a great many good •&• •
pie, many them Republicans, who have t- •
misled touching the conduct'of the takmthern peo
ple, their purposes, ite. They hive been told
this and that dreadful story and'it is very desira
ble that the really representative men' of the
South now here should make a fresh averment to
Bose.erans,. Mexican diplomat, by way of,
describing their own peaceful purposes and
War Of their people, sod they de not mean .to
drink wine in the skulls of carpet-baggers and
reallawsgs.
The situation was somev-hat perplexing for the
Southerners. One course open to them was to
ask Rosecrans flatly who were his constituents,
and where were his credentials and recommenda
tions generally and in lien of failure to produce
these vouchers to bid him to go to Mexico or some
other more decidedly tropical abode. But if this
were donsTlt would probably be misrepresented. It
would be said that these Southern leaders had an
arriere piesee hostile to the Union, or knew of
one among the people, they are still re
bellions and must be distrusted, guarded, and
kept down. The Radicals always loving a
lie would seize on this reticence as proof
stronger than holy writ of all they were
putting forth. This last line of ideas obtained and
the two or three politicians who conferred with
two Generals concluded that they would answer
Rosecrans's inquiries as frankly and respectfully
as if he was a very babe in quest of truth and
utterly ignorant of the political history of the
past three years on the pregnant fact of the pre
sent subthission of the South to ahrtost unexam
pled wrong. They would repeat the old story
that they wanted peace under a constitutional
government as earnestly as if aught but a fool or
a knave ever supposed the contrary. And so
General Rosecrans, happy to be thus recognized
without passport or credentials, writes his wag
niloquent
letter to • General Lee, craving enlight
enment as to the state of the Southern mind on
political matters, and expressing rather fulsome
assurance of his distinguished consideration and
esteem,

three years'

A meeting had been called for last evening by ,
direction of the Ceutrar Committee, to organize
a Tante: aub in the Eighth Ward. Them:olm
was to be held in a large hall located at No. 381
Blue Island avenue, and all necessary 'arrange."
marts for holding a quiet, orderly meeting were
duly made. Hon. N. B. Judd, John Pope Hod
nett. Esq., and other Republican speakers were
invited to address the meeting, and very
large proportion of the residents of that ward
are of Irish birth or parentage, the meeting was
called as an Irlith Republican meeting.
When the hour for the, meeting had arrived,
Mr. Hodnett and several prominent Republicans
proceeded to the , hail. It had been ar
ranged that the organization known as the Irlah
Republican Stamens would convene at an early
hour at the head quartens t and march with lighted
torches to its hall, and participate in the meeting.
While waiting for the arrival of the club, Com
pany A intuie their appearance in the hall, and at
once took possession of it. Alderman Rafferty
called the meeting to order and nominated
Thomas Halpin, Chairman, who was almost
unanimously elec ted. He took his seat upon the
stand erected for the speakersend announced the
object of the meeting to be, "The discussion of
the question touching the coming campaign and
the duty of the Irishmen of the Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth Wards therein. " He said "that it
was proposed to discpas these issues in a fair,.
impartial and honest manner, giving to each
party a lair show, and then allow each one pres
ent to draw his own conclusions respecting which
party was right." He called for John Pope Hod
nett, who had been announced to speak. At the
mention of Mr. Hodnett's" name—he being a
strong Republican, and an efficient one too—the
crowd Inside, which seemed to have come together
with a common understandiog as to what was to
take place should an attempt be made to
go on with the meeting, groaned and hissed un
til the scene presented was a perfect pandemce :
ninm, with each one striving to outdo Ids 'neigh
bor in attempting to ,get up a disturbance.
After-makWg several vain attempts - ttrearrYtrn
the meeting decently,the speaker was Interrupted
by the entrance of the Irian.Tanners.
' The Irish . Tanners bore several transparencies,
which, on entering the hall, seemed to excite th:.
ire of the rebels, and a dive was at once made to
obtain possessio n of them, in order to destroy
them. A row was at once inaugurated, which be
came general, and the White Boys In Blue pitched
in to clean out the Tanners. Chiba, pistols, and
every available weapon, were freely used , by the
Democrats upon the Tanners, who, surrounded
as they were, and terribly outnumbered. e.* that
to resist'would;be not only useless buefelonae.tr.,s
and, keeping together as much as posaible, they
made for the door, closely pursued by the blood
thirsty disciples of Comisky, Rafferty, Baum
Co.
When the Tanners reached the street they
were imm tely re-formed in line by General
Salomon, der-in-Chief of the Tanner
corps, who had just arrived in his carriage, ready
for defense s should further indignities be offered,
but determined to only protect themselves so far
as they were able. In the meantime word had
been sent to the Twelfth street station of the dis
graceful proceedings, and a squad of policemen
sent to the scene, they arriving shortly after the
Tanners reached the street. It was found that
several of their number had been badly injured
by the assaulting party, and one man fatally
wounded by a pistol shot in the head.
Inside the hall a scene of desolation was pre
sented. Broken torches, torn transparencies,
oil, pieces of flags, lamps, etc., were strewn over
the floor, and in three places where oil had been
spilled in the building it had taken fire, and for a
time there were prospects of a huge conflagra
tion. By the united exertions of the policemen
and the Republicans who still remained in the
building, the fires were put out and a farther
disaster prevented. The Tanners, finding that
no further violence would be offered, marched
away, cheering loudly for Grant and Colfax.
Bowe fifteen or twenty Republicans were
severely and dangerously injured.

The Coshocton (Ohio) Democrat having inter

perverted the meaning, the editor of the Co

subject, and received the following reply
PKeicssim., Aug. 13, 1868—Dear Sir: 'You ask
me whether I wrote the following sentence:
"The. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,in the closing
sentence of a letter to the editor of the Boston

the following: _ ~
"There will be nocandidate ^ between

I did not. The word (Democratic) was inter

comes, on purpose to deceive his readers. I re
gard Grant as an upright, honest man, of good
administrative radii—the very man to be Presi
dent in times which require steadiness, clear
sense, kindnes4 and triedj)atriotlsm. I not only
believe- that be President, but that his
civil administration will be as remarkable as his
military career.
Since all the men who sought to destroy this
Government are rallying around Seymour it Is fit
that all the men who stood up for the Union
should gather about Grant. It is an honor that
will not happen twice in a man's lifetime to have
a chanee to vote for such a man as Grant. No
young man can well afford to throw away his
chance. -Eve,n if done, it ought--to• be in-favor of
some better man than he who, through all

'The Ron correspondent of the Pall Mall
Gmete, writing - .nder date of August 13, has the
foLowing: ..
"On Monday the Pope paid his long talked of
visit to the second division , of his army, at the
camp at Rocca di Papa, arriving, as arranged,
under the escort of the Garde Urbaind. The
Holy Father was accompanied by General Kan
zler and his staff, and was received at the camp
with repeated salvos of ealutorl,t ll 4.3thele of. the._
troops being rtiniiiiin a line, numbering six
thousand men of different arms.—Xonaves, chas
sours, dragoons, artillery, and engineers. - The
spectacle attracted visitors from Rome and the
neighboring towns, as well as the Campagna,who
greeted the Pope with a few acclamations,, while
the bands of the various corps played the Hymn
of Men tuna. The Holy Fatherproceeded straight
to the chapel, which stands, inform of a pavilion,
in the midst of the camp, and was magnificently
decorated for the occasion. .The troops massed
in front of this tabernacle, which was open, and
all heard thejond tones of the Pope,' announcing
that he ministered expressly for their benefit.
Then followed the mass,
and the soldiers fell on
their knees, as the roll of drums, the blast of
trumpets, and the roar of cannon prochimed the
elevation of the Host.
" The .-Pope now- took breakfast, which was
served in another pavilion, while his ears were
regaled by a martial chant, which the chaßceurs,
congregating before the tent, sang in his honor,
and which celebrated the triumps of the last
campaign.
- The serenade delighted the Pope,who listened
attentively, anth'eried out 'Bravi, finally admit
ting the officers to kiss his foot. The same honor
was extended to the students of the Enelisit
college, to those of the Polish college, as well as
the students of the college recently established by
the Jesuits at Mandragone; who await - nobles, -
and to the Garde Urbaine. The ceremony con
cluded with the presentation of some of the
visitors from Rome. From the pavilion the Pope
returned to the chapel, where he gave the
kneeling army his benediction, chanted with his
usual distinctness, which excited the Zouaves to
a frenzy of enthusiasm. The Holy Father then
visited several of the tents, and conversed famil
iarly with their occupants. Lastly he proceeded
to the hosnital, - where he addressed somemords
of consolition to the sick, who, owing to the
Improvement in the weather, now number only
forty.
"The Zouaves mustered to see the Popo leave
the camp, saluting him with cries of 'Long live
our Holy Father, long live the Pontiff-King;' and
the day concluded with a grand dinner at thb
convent of the Greek basilica at Grottaferratta.
The banquet consisted of sixty covers, and the
Pope invited to his_table_Carainati4 mattel,-D;
Incii:Claretti, and Borromeo, General Kanzler,
Count de Sartiges, and several prelates of the
court.. The 4oly Father ordered that each of the
6,000 men in camp should receive a bottle of
Genzano wine and two cigars."
Thomas Carlyle and the Edinburgh
Pallosophical Institution.
Mr. Carlyle, in accepting the Presidentship of
this Society, writes from Dumfries, where he is
staying with some relatives : "Your agreeable
announcement has come round to me here. -It
is indisputable. I couldsiot have been chosen to
the Presidency of your distinguished institution in
a way more to my mind, or on terms less
onerous. Of course I accept the honor, aud in
tend to wear it as long as lam permitted. * * *
I reckon it a spontaneous,gratuitons, and honeat
mark of respect, and value it as I should do few
others. With every good wish for the institution
I have become honorary head of, and regretting
that I have nothing but wishes to give it, I re

een penent is affirming that oral as well as writ-
ten engagements had been entered into with
them, and that they have a legal right to the
concession of the submarine telegraph to the
United States. The government repels such in
sirmations as entirely , erroneous. The admini
stration,, which in such matters has been careful
to employ only the regular and unimpeachable
methods of public tender. to which it has had re
course three times, awaits and hopes that the
claimants will at last decide on carrying their
complaint before the Council of State, which is
'the only jurisdiction in such a difference. A
longer hesitation on their part would be a tacit
admission of the absurdity of their pretensions:,
Literary Items,
On Sunday last Victor Hugo read to a select
circle of his friends at Brussels, portions of the
manuscript of the new romance which he has
just completed. It is entitled simply "93." The
French publisher has given 100,000 francs for the
work.
The twenty-fourth volume of the correspon
dence of Napoleon L has just made its apparanee.
It is the most interesting of the series; for it may
be said to be a history of the fatal campaign of
Moscow recounted by the Emperor himself.
An Ultimatum.
M. E. Girardln, in the Liberte of August 18th,
puts forward the ultimatum of France in the fol
lowing demands: "We demand that the work
of 1829 should be resumed, and that negotiations
should be opened with Prussia on this basis:
Prussia to be allowed to incorporate the whole
of the Saxon territory, as she has incorporated
Hanover, under the condition that she will
concur in and actively promo& the formation
of a Franco. German state, comprehending Bel
gium, Rhenish Holland,Rhenish Prussia, Rhenish
Hesse and Rhenish Bavaria, to be ruled over by
the King_of.l3azony, under _the '-King -of
the Rhine Country,' or some such name. Again,
France would have no objection that, instead of
one kingdom'ol about 10 000,000 of people, there
should be two—leaving the King of the Belgians
as he is at pitsent, with his 4,940,000 subjects,
and creating a new kingdom of the Rhine lands
with 4,534,000 inhabitants. • In case Prussia
should refuse to accede to this pacific arrange-
ment, we demand that France should no longer
hesitate in pushing the line of her actual fron
tier to that of her natural frontier. We demarill,
in a word, what we last year called "our share
of the river."
War Rumors.
The Temps regrets to say that its correspond
ence from Berlin, Vienna and Madrid is of a very
warlike tone. The interview between the Czar
and the Ring of Prussia is considered very sig
nidcative. The Wanderer of Vienna says that the
recent attacks of the Russian press on Prussia
were but a mask to avert attention from the
ose relations of the two Powers. Now that
they are ready they drop the mask, and the inter
view between-the- two sovereigns reveals • tO - the
world the fact of their close intimacy. The
A venir National hopes that in the face of such
grave facts France is not going to engage in "a
mad enterprise against Germany." finch an en
terprise .coned only succeed "by having Austria
as an ally, and the late visit of Prince Napoleon
bas proved that Austria cannot or will not aid us
against Prussia."
I RALLY.
Gen. Garibaldi and the Italian Volun.
Gen. Garibaldi has addressed a letter from Cs
prera to Major Stefano Canzio, President of the
Association of the Veterans of the .Patriot Ar
mies in fie noa, "thanking them for so soon ral
lying round the flag of duty and justice, after
their recent contest with the united armies of im
posture and tyranny," and preparing themselves
to "wash out of Italy the stain which still re
mains of despotism, falsehood and treason." He
reminds them that there is "no real liberty for the
body without liberty of the mind," and requests
them "to point out to their fellow-countrymen
the degraded and miserable condition to which
a regime of priests has reduced the noblest race
on the earth,"
Visit to Bethlehem.
A number of Philadelphians visited Bethlehem
on Saturday to participate in a masked ball given
to the boarders at the Eagle Hotel. The dining
room was gaily decorated with Chinese lanterns,
and at the appointed time the maskers who had
congregated in the parlors formed a proetizslan
and marched into the ball-room. They were a
motley group, and created much amusement to the
spectators and to each other. Some of the char
acters were very well sustained, and in most
cases the incognito so well maintained that none
could guess who was who. During. the evening
a crash was heard, and a full grown ape bounded
into the window, creating some consternation.
The fun culminated when the signal for unmask
ing was given. The affair was highly enjoyed,
and the guests of the Sun Hotel have been incited
to • 'ye a similar entertainment this evenin:.

an opportunity of witnessing two of the novel
religions ceremonies of the Moravians. One was
a funeral in the graveyard, and the other a love
feast of Brethren festival in the old church which
has been recently enlarged and renovated, and
can now be compared, both for size and beauty
of interior, with the best of our city churches.
There were nearly a thousand persons present,
and each was supplied with a cup of delicious
coffee, and a cake, which were partaken of while
a selection of hymns were sung by the choir with
orchestral accompaniments.

to a Western paper that is well worth quoting : I
stood on the rocky margin of the outermost
Sister last Sunday, and watched the river break
over the rib of rock that is the rifle-pit line of
Niagara. The great white column of battle came
dowlp, at a charge and leaped the barrier with so
easY motion that it seemed to have collected its
energies for naught. But dropping into the gulf
below where confused channels led it here and
there, plunging and turning to re-form its line,
the scene that ensued was that of an army
stricken with panic .All the great lakes pressed
behind it howling."forward !" Overeat, inter
lapped, crowded onward, rib by rib and ledge, by

formed,a only at the - brink of the Fall when
