By the late act amending the postal laws, circu lars relating to lotteries and gift enterprises are forbidden to be sent in the mail, and the Post master-General is authorized to confiscate them and send them to the Dead Letter Office. Where the parties concerned in these enterprises send their letters sealed, and in small quantities, it is very difficult to detect them, and , consequently many of them slip through. A few days ago, however, the-Post-office authorities at New York seized ten bushel bags, filled with' letters ad dressed to parties all over the country, with the postage stamps regularly affixed to them, ready for transmission. These letters contained circu lars from the firm of Hunt, Anthony & Co., New York, dealers in watches and jewelry, represent ing that for a small consideration the parties ad dressed would draw valuable prizes, on payment of a small sum for the tickets. Tho whole lot has been brought here, and awaits the arrival of the Postataster-Oeneral to-morrow morning, to decide some legal question which has been raised as to what disposition shall be made of the cir culars. SusougnAxx, Fight at a Base Ball Match. After giving du account of the match between the Atlantic and Irvington Clubs, at Irvington, yesterday, the N. Y:Trtbune says The game was played, as between the Clubs, in the utmost good nature, but the result was not pleasant to all the visitors. For the second time, one those disgraceful scenes attending games at Irvington took. place. 4.'party of Newarkers who had in store a fight for a fortnight past, took' occasion (not having it on the field) to in augurate a disgraceful fight in the , horse-cars. They were so . far successful as to beat Mr. Buck ley (late member of the AJssembly from. Brooklyn) in a frightful manner, and a Mr. MeGottigle al most to death. , , The quarrel commenced as fol lows: During the, game • a boisterous and belligerer.lNewarker called out contrary decis ions, perplexing the players and the umpire. He was addressed by a Mr. Henry, who informed himverycourteously that the umpire would de cide all questions of dispute. To this an insult ing nifsWer was given, and an attitude of Pugi lism assumed. Mr. Henry knocked the insulter • down, when. the latter, drew a, knife and almost , severed' the thuMb from the hand of a friend who Interfered to stop the bloody work. On the way home this :individual, strengthened by others. desired a' fight, 'if `not'with Henry' (who did not ; take the common conveyance) then with anybody elec. The first man bit , was Mr. Buokleyi; who - quickly resented. Here the fight began, and although not general was indulged in by some 20,` Buckley being pounded by half a dozen at the same:time. The cars were stopped i three, times , an d Bnally two ceeded On their joar-, nay, the man MeGonigle being left in the hands of the Newark roughs on the road, and believed killed. Two men were sent on ahead to get war rants 'and arrest the whole patty when they ar rived at Newark.

Worrerposaderies of the Philadelphia Evening Bullatin.l Wasniao•rox, Sept. 11, 1868.—An important change in the schedule time for running railroad trains between here and New York and Phila delphia, , will 'be cOmnienced on Sunday; evening next. The through trains from here to New York will leave this point nt 8.15 A. M.,12.80 and 9 P. id. daily. The two first lines will take Phila delphia passengers, but none will be taken on the train, which Waves here at 9 - P. M,- as the pea- • sengerb 'would - arriie in Phihtdelphia'at'a very unseasonable hour, and it was decided, for this reason, not to take Phtladelphia_passengers on that train. The train which left Washington at 4 80 P. M., and arrived at Philadelphia at IEOS, will, be changed to leave Washington at 5.40 P. M. and arrive in Philadelphia at 11.25 P. M. The train which left Philadelphia at 11 P. M. for Washington and connected with the New York train at Gray's Any, will leave Philadel phia half an hour later-11.30—and will arrive in Washington next morning at 5.30. All the passenger trains, to and from here to Philadelphia and New York, will run at a higher rate of speed, and will make the time between here and New York in one and a half hours lees than heretofore. The night trains between here and New York will make the run In less than nine hours, so that passengers leaving here at 9in the evening will be in New York before 6 the next morning. This arrangement has been made under the as sp cep of Win. Prescott 13mith.Esq., general Man ae.er of the New York and Washington Railway line, with the co-operation and assistance of the Presidents of the five railroad companies which comprise the lines between here and New York. I should have mentioned before that the through lines leave Netv York daily, at the same hours they leave Washington, which will be a great convenience to the business community ; for by this arrange ment a letter mailed at New York in the morning can be delivered in Washington before 6 o'clock the setae afternoon, and can be answered, and the answer mailed is, the 9 r. if. traln.so as reach New York the following morning, and rice verge. Another advantage is that passengers and mails Irotn the East can leave Boston at 10 A. M. of one which dw b ll e inb e Wa min g o ton o ante 6 thy nine xtt h m e otrnng mission of mall matter. The new arrangement , will require • the invest ment of a large amount of additional capital for new equipment, necessary for the comfort and convenience of the traveling public, in the shape of new • sleeping-cars with high backs, private rooms for parties and families, and other im provements, which cannot all be done at once, but will be put on gradually, as the wants of the public are developed and as fast as the improved equipments can be constructed. The postal cars will be continued on the through lines, and the line leaving here at 5.0 for Plilladelptia will enable the _proprietors of morning newspapers in Philadelp hia to send nearly all their reports by han d, np to that nour, thus effecting a saving in telegraph charges. reo...sors OF CONGRESS RE-ASSE3IFILLNO. The question whether Congress will re-assemble on the. 21st will not be decided till Speaker Col fax and Viee President Wade arrive here. They are expected on the 18th or 19th, and General Schenck and Senator Morgan will also be here, when the matter Will be settled. The - prevailing impression seems to be favorable to having a quo rum present on the 21st, so as to adjourn till the middle of October, merely as a — muzzle" on Johnson, because, if he thotight Congress would stay away till December, there is no telling what freak he might not attempt- A REBEL LAW FIRM PROPOSED Robert W. Johnson, formerly a Senator from Arkansas, has arrived here, and Intends going tato the law business in partnership with Albert Pike, late of the Jlemphas i.lppeal. These parties cannot practite in Judge Canter's Supreme Court, as he has adopted stringent regulations regarding abet lawyers; but possibly the new firm will practice in the 'United States Supreme Court, where Chief Justice Chase will be glad to .fford them every facility.

The New York Tribune Inui the following:, The following letter has been placed In our bands by a gentleman who furnishes it from a collection of /autographs. It was written .by Major-General Grant to his father, froth ten's Bend La., during the Vicksburg tiainpailgn. We print ' it,ust as it is, word for word ro . We have no hesitation In saying that a more remark able document; and ctue that reflects morea credit upon the illustrious writer, has not before been given to the American people.`' DIELLIKM4I3 BEND, La., April 21, 1863. Dear l'ather: Your letter of the 7th of April ,has just this day reached me. I hasten to answer your in terkogallons, When I left Memphis, with my past experience, I prohibited trade below Helena. Trade to thatpoint had previtnisly >loin ,opened by the Treasury Department. I givo,no permits to buy 'cotton. and find' any one engaged In the bushiest; "tend them out of the Department and seize their cotton for the Government. I have given a few families permission to leave the country and to take with theta tto tar as AleniphiS their cotton. In doing this I have been deceived by unprincipled speculators, who have success fully sniugg.led themselves along with the army in spite of orders prohibiting them, and I have been compelled to suspend this favor to persons duzions to get out of Dixie. "I understand that Government has adopted some plea to regulate getting the cotton out of the country. I do not know what plan they have adopted, but am satisfied that any that can be adopted,except for Government to take the cotton themselves,and rule out'speculators altogether, will be a bad one. I feel all army followers who are engaged in speculating off the misfortunes of their country, and really aiding the enemy more than they possibly could do by open treason, 4hould be drafted at once and put In the first for lorn hope. -1 move my headquarters to New Carthage to-morrow. This whole country is under water, except strips of land behind the levees.along the river and bayous, and makes operations almost impossible. I struck upon a plan which I thought would give me a foothold on the east bank of the Mississippi before the enemy.could offer any great resistance. But the diflicalty of the last one and a half miles next to Carthage makes it so tedious that the enemy cannot, fail to dis cover my plans. I am doing my best, and am lull of hope for complete success. Time gas been consumed, but it was abso lutely impossible to avoid it. An attack upon the rebel works at any time since I arrived here must inevitably have resulted in the loss of a large portion of my army, if not in an entire defeat. There were but two points of land, Haines Blutf and Vicksburg itself, out of water at any place from which troops could march. These are thoroughly fortified, and it would be folly to attack them as long as there is a pros pect of turning their position. I never expect to nave an army under my command whipped un less it is very badly whipped and can't help it, bat I have no idea of being driven to do ci*despe rate or foolish act by the howlings of • the press. It is painful to me, as a matter of course, to see the course pursued by some of the papers. But there is no one less dis turbed by them , than myself. I have never ionght a large command, and have no ambitions ends to accomplish. Were it not for the very natural desire of proving Myself equal to any thing expected of me, and the evidence my re moval would afford that I was not'thought equal to it, I would gladly accept a less responsible po sition. I have no desire to be an object of envy orjealonsy;lior to have this , war continue. I want, and will do my part 'toward it, to put down the rebellion in the shortest possible time, without expecting or desiring any other recogni tion than a quiet approval of my course. "I, beg that you will destroy thle letter; at least, do not stiOw it. "Julia and the children are here, but will go up by the 13xst good boat. I sent for her to come down and getinstructions about some business I want attended by, - and see no immediate prospect of attending to myself.• ' ULYSSES." rolutictir, A nviiviten , A Little Hit of Eftstory.

February 20, 1864.—Dear Sir: From the time that I saw the gallant and lamented Corcoran, so brave in battle, so heroic in captivity, was the head ohs our organization, I have felt a warm interest in it, though knowing nothing of course, of its internal Machinery, its obligations or its ritual. Remembering gratefully the historical fact of warm sympathy expressed by an Irish Par liament for our fathers when struggling for the independence they won for us, re yarding hopefuko every well-directed and patriotic endeavor throughout the world for nationality, and 'rejoicing that so many loyal Irishmen have enrolled themselves in the army of the Union, to save their adopted Republic from anarchy and destruction, I .send you, in response to yonr request, the In closed twenty dollars, which would be larger but for many other demands on me. Respectfully, yourii, • Scurry - min Cor,r,tx. Nothing. but the extreme of partisanship, envy, or hostility, would deny,to General Grant ,the very highest skill in generalship, and the 'greatest courage anti heroism. Incidents, how ever. now and then picked up in out-of-the-way receptacles, serve to confirm facts, and to refute ,slanders. L. Bolles, Jr.,. writing to the Oneida (Circular in-1867 a story of his experience as a volunteer in the late rebellion, speaks.most high ly of,Grant's daring and &induct during the bat .tles of Grand Gulf and Port Glbsen: The follow 'ing little anecdote which Bolles relates may be ,new to most of our readers: • ' 'During thelaitle(Peri . Gibson), Gen. Grant waseverywhere In the thickest'of the fight,-di 'reeling movements, regardless of his own pent:. , nal safety. At one time, when a six-pounder which was shelling the rebels had been just charged, he rode up, and springing from his horse, said: 'Let me take that a moment.' He immediately pointed the gun at a large tree, and fixing his aim said. ' Tow fire.' The shot struck in the crotch of the tree, the branches parted and fell,and out tumbled a patrol rebel sharpshooters who had been picking off our men. Hurrah r said the Genera Land swlngiughis hat and mount ing his horse he was out of sight in a moment." The Memphis Post at the 7th says: Mr. T. D. Alexander, reported to us as a quiet citizen and an exemplary member of the Presby terian Church, lives on the Hernando road, about three miles from town. On Saturday night, very late, some ruffians called to him to come out. Upon waking and hearing their calls he inquired who they were, and what they wanted. They again ordered him to come out, and threatened that if he did not to break in. Still refusing to go out, they smashed in the blinds and windo ws,he discharging at them, but probably without effect, a load from his shot gun. They then fired in several shots, and threw in some ignited hay, to get a sight of him. Mrs. Alexander. about this time, in great fright, fled out the back door. Here the ruffians met her and ordered her back. She begged of them to save her. Her husband rushed out to the rear to protect her. As soon as he passed oat the door one of the fiends fired upon him, the shot taking effect in his groin; another shot took effect in his breast. Meantime, Mrs. Alexander ran for her life and escaped to a neighbor. After beating Mr. Alexander brutally, so that he is now probably dead, the ruffians robbed the house of everything they could find and left. The neigh bors soon put out the fire which had been set to light the house, and cared for Mr. Alexander. A correspondent, of ,the Pall Mall Gazette, writing from Rome sa,ys: ' ' "Many people will doubtless be surprised to bear that the Pope has taken to writing in 'the newspapers, but though evincing the -greatest abhorrence of journalists and newspaper corres pondents, he has dabbled in the evil thing for some time past. He seems to have caught the Infection while reading the proofs of the Cioilla 'attolic - afor it - la - from - the annoTationa lie then made that he has composed several articles which have appeared' In the official journal. The last ';iornale di Roma contains some anonymous strictures by the Holy Father on a canon of Vienna, Father Egidio della Valle, who, it ap pears, held the condemned doctrines of Febrordus, and lately died unrepentant. ' - Nothing is now talked of at Rome but the new saint, Maria Taigi, a washerwoman in the service of the chigi family, who died here in 1837, in the odor of sanctity.

The Revolutionary Leadero. A Paris correspondent sends to an English paper the following 'deicription' - of a portrait gallery of 'celebrities of the French 'Revolution lately opened in Path -"What first strikes one on entering is the noble and Manly aspect of the great majority of the subjects of these portraits, most of whom were active members of, the Con vention, famous for • their cruelty and disregard of human life. Except Ararat and Fouctid, who are simply hideous; there Is nova face here which is not in some way attractive. Even Mirabean, though strongly marked with the smallpox, has an expression •of -intense power in his counte nance which, doubtless, greatly contributed to the extraordinary effect ',he is said to have pro-duced by his speeches. The first portrait in the collection is that of Marie Antoinette—a . quiet, calm, somewhat proud face. such as she might have had in her retirement at Triahen before the revolution broke out. Next conic' 'Robespierre in profile, with Scold. penetratinglook; St.Jtist,a , handsome.smiling,gaily dressed youth of twenty, painted shortly before his death by' his friend Dlavid; Conthon, Lianton and, Camille Des monllns,all looking calm and careleas, as if the guillotine had no terrors for them. There is a portrait of Andre Chenier, the classical poet, and of Ronget de Lisle, author of the "Marseillaise”— the latter picture pierced in several places with bayonet thrusts. Mme. Roland, with irrezular but attractive features, and Herbert, editor of the infamous 'Pere Duchesne,' come next. There are also portraits of Charlotte Corday; the Prin cess de Lamballe; Te:roigne do Mericourt, the original 'Goddess of Reason,'who ended her days' In the madhouse; Mme.

Defeat of the ruche Sappho. [From the Hants (Eng.) Telegraph, August 2a.1 * * The American yacht was now no where; and the result was generally looked upon as highly satisfactory, as'maintaining the superi ority of the English built yacht. A general opinion, however, prevailed that had the Sappho been entered in an ocean match s •with more can vas and, ballast, the result would in all probe bilty have been reversed; and in order to remove all doubt a second match, say to Cherbourg and back, in order finally to determine the respective sailing qualities or the respective ' yachts, should' be taken into consideration. The winner and the . other _English yachts were loudly cheered on passing Egypt Point and making for West Cowes. A large concourse of spectators awaited' the arrival of the yachts, and the keenest possible, interest was manifested to know the result. The Leigh Hunt Monument, Mr. 8. C.
