POLITICAL. GEN. DIX. Further Evidences of His Earnest In. dorseinent of Gen. Grant. [Prom the Galena (111.) Gazette. Sept. 25./ A letter from Gen. Dix was receivedin this city yesterday, giving his views about the tWo candt dates for the Presidency. We copy it entire, omitting only the opening paragraph. PAnts, 8.1868. * *• * Se p t. * I have taken pains to contradict the statement in some of the newspapers, that I am in favor of Se.ymour's election to the Chief Magistracy of the Union. If I were at home, I should oppose him by all fair and honorable means. I know him well; and it is my sincere belief that his want of firmness would renew the dissensions which have brought so much evil on our country. Indeed, I do not think he has any of the qualifications which aro indispensable to maintain the public tranquillity at this juncture. I have great coai deuce in General Grant's honesty, good sense, sound judgment, moderation, steadiness of pur pose and disinterested patriotism; and I believe the speedy restoration of the Union to its consti tutional and harmonious action depends very largely on his success. It is hardly necessary to add that I am in favor of paying in specie the debt contracted to save the Union, and that the resolution of the Fourth of July Convention, to pay the larger portion of It in paper, constitutes, in my mind, an insuper able objection to the candidates nominated to carry out what what I regard as a palpable viola tion of the ;public faith. I am, dear Sir, truly yours, Joust A. Drx. In order to fully appreciate General Dix's pa triotism, it should be known that ho Intends re turning to this country in the Spring, no matter bow the election results; his advocacy of General Grant, therefore, originates in no desire to retain his position abroad. His family have already returned. What, perhaps, is still more to the credit of the illustrious patriot who has served the count ty so long in affairs of State, as well as in the field, Is that in January last, when his own name was prominently mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination, and when the ground that the Democratic Convention would take was still uncertain, Gen. Dix wrote to another friend in the United States as follows : "P,4nis, Jan. 16,1868.—1 have thought for a year that Grant should be President. The pres tige of his name will enable him to do more than any other man to heal the 'national dissensions which seem to me, at this distance, to be as far from any satisfactory solution as ever. Then he Is honest both from instinct and habit; and he has good sense, perseverance and a modest estimate of his own capabilities. I have no doubt that he would call able men to his councils and listen to their advice, and I believe that he would be a firm Conservative and successful Chief Magis trate." CAMILLA BITTCCIERAT. Spirit of the Rebel Press. The Camilla affair shows that armed negroes may shoot and murder anybody. White men will go to the polls also armed, and will surely pro. uct themselves. This whole affair proves—what we have from the first maintained—that univer sal negro suffrage is nothing but war. The great error an the Camilla affair was in shooting at all at the negroes until their white leaders had beett disposed of. If such an affair should again take place, we hope that we will be able to chronicle that every white man has been slain. They are the chief criminals—the enemies of both races.— Charleston (S. C.) Mercury, Sept. 25. We do not remember a single instance of vio lence committed by any organized band of black men since the war which was not instigated, fo mented, and inspired by the hell-hounds of car pot-baggery and sealawagism. We know that the races can and will live peaceably together if the poor blacks are relieved from the injurious influences of these radical demons. From Bul lock down to the miserable creature cafled cart, these Radical leaders are all, even now, busily engaged in fomenting and encourag ing strife and bloodshed. We honestly believe that Bullock is himself the chief cause of the Ca milla tragedy. We know that he gloats over the bloody details, and waxes merry at the recital of the shocking story. He has had his instructions from Radical headquarters at Washington. and as a labor of love he is carrying them out in all their horrid particulars. He is to-day the true murderer of the poor Camilla victims.—Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, Sept. 23d. There are a minority of the negroes (in this State a majority we elnim) who are not with the black malcontents, but would, as shown in Geor gia, side with the whites against the insurgents. We repeat in substance what we have shown in the foregoing remarks, that this problem will have to be decided by arms, If not decided at the polls in November, by the election of Seymour and Blair. Ballots are cheaper than blood,and elections better than battles. But if Grant be chosen, and we do not misjudge him and his policy, then the disciplined cohorts of the South must be mar shaled once more, and the issue will be, thall white or black men role in the South? When that iEETIM comes to the last argomeot, reposed in the musket muzzle and the thayonet's point, where will the poor negro be ?—Southern ( Va.) Opinion, Sept. 26th. Franh P. Blair Attempts a Speech— 'lroubled with "Incoherence , Has to be Helped on the Train, and Leaves Town- 64 110, the Conquering Hero Comes.” • GALION, September 26.—Frank P. Blair, on his way . from Indianapolis on his eastern trip, stopped at our town, and the Democrats made great preparations to receive him. They called a meting at dielodeon--Hall. and between -7 and 8 o'clock the immortal Frank, locked arm-and arm with J. W. Coulter, Esq., wended their way to the hall. On entering the hall Blair ascended the rostrum, seeming unsteady in his move ments. He seated himself, having in his mouth a cigar, and was smoking. The hall was soon crowded. Frank, after puffing away at his cigar for ten or fifteen minutes, arose and addressed his Democratic brethren for the full space of an hour. His speech was very tame, eliciting but little applause. The Democrats were mach disap pointed in him. Upon taking his seat it was as quiet as - at a funeraL Not ono cheer. He looked us if he had been on a big drunk and was still keeping it up. All throu g h the audience you could hear it whispered "he is too full of whisky." " He is on one of his drunks." After he sat down there were loud calls for Hubbell, but Hubbell _wouldnotcome_forwar‘aud_the_MeetblZilnally. adjourned. Frank was escorted down to the Atlantic and Great Western Depot, and took the 2.30 train cast. Frank by this time had to be helped into the coach. Several Democrats who saw him say they can't vote for such a man, and his coming here and making his speech has made at least thirty Republican votes. We can name good, Influential Democrats who boldly proclaim that they will vote for Grant and Colfax. The Re publicans don't want a better electioneering document than Frank. They think if he was to come back and stump Crawford county, hard as it is, it would go Republican at the Presidential election.--Cin. Commercial: -- Too Much 46 111cammy. 91 A Memphis correspondent of the Cincinnati Time.v thus. hits_ off . a noticeable-feature of the late Democratic torchlight procession in that city: • -- - A carriage containing a' black woman and a number of white children was. surmounted by a transparency , with the inscription: "Oen MAMMY-RADICALS CAN'T SEPARATE us." This brilliant device originated in the fertile brain of Mayor Leftwich, Conservative candidate for Congos in, thy Itiomphie District. Ho to doubt PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,= SEPTEMBER 29, 1868. regrets the departure of the good old times when the aforesaid "mamtgy" was "likely wench," worth a round sum !n cash, and when a "sepa ration" from her would have been mitigated somewhat by the reflection that he had SOLD HEM for a satisfactory consideration. This affected veneration among ex-slaveholders tor their colored "mammys," should be duly re ciprocated by the thousands of bleached Africans one sees at the South. I would recommend, as a telling feature in the next Democratic proces sion here, a wagon load of mulatto children, with the motto: "Oen PAPAS; THAT HAVE GONE BACK ON US." As Artemus Ward once said about the prevalence of "mother" songs during the war, there is a little too much "mamma" in this Conservative cant, and not enough "papa." Give the "old man" a chance once in a while. NASBN. The Reception of the News of the Blaine Electionin Rentucny—A Itolst Jollification and a Damp Time Oext. orally at the Corners.

"Bo the World sez !" sed L - " Then let's jollity," sed he, and proceeded to do it. s percession was formed, and a more glorious one it hez never been my lot to ornament. It was orgjnized in the following order: 1. The Deekin and me with handkerchiefs at our eyes weepin perfoosely. 2.

This cheerful percesslon reached the church, with It entered, all the members thereof holdin ther hells down jubilantly, ceptin Pollock, Big ler and the niggers. We marched slowly up the elates, I niacin the cheer without the formality uv a vote.

Issaker Gavitt, apreadin his hankercher on the back nv the seat afore him to dry, and nein his coat-tales in its place, vivaciously observed that It wood highten the interest nv the occasion of the sed vote wuz compared with the vote uv the precedin years, and he sat down jubilantly, his oyes suffused with tears.

DELPITIA, Sept. 29, 1868,—T0 the Editor of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin:—As it be hooves every trrie and loyal citizen to refute all fab3e and libelous publications affecting their pri vate or public character,as well as in vindication of their political status and that of the party to which they belong, permit me, through your col-. nails to reply to a most aeurriloue article OTQX OITR WHOLE COWTRY. the signature of one John Murphy, No. 417 Cherry street, published in last Sunday's edition of the Mercury, and headed "To Mayor Mc- Michael." .in the article alluded to, the aforesaid John • Murphy insinuates firstly that he is endeavor ing to "Intimidate" a radical who resides at No. 505 Cherry street, Sixth Wait. Secondly, that two weeks ago there were but two -men about his premises, and to-day there are thirty-five to thirty male boarders, all colonized within the past week, and that ho (the aforesaid radical) rested the house in question, &c., assuming that such acts were 'the "legitimate" employment for policemen. • Now I admit that I am a staunch Republican, and as such deny that .I can be "Intimidated" or vanquished,as one engaged in the glorious efforts to support and maintain the sacred principles of my loarty, by any such publication of a Copper head, and particularly the said John Murphy. I do further moat emphatically deny that I rent. the premises in question., bat on the con trary, am myself a boarder there. The charge of colonization' aforesaid is a base fabrication in tote. There are not more than one half of the number of boarders in the house as charged (rho have been there sometime), and they are about equally divined in political sentiment. And the slur cast upon the police force in gen eral (which is well known to be most honorable and well conducted under the auspices of our present honorable and efficient Mayor) is only equal in enormity and baseness to the falsity of the previous charges. . RESERVE OFFICER No. 3,1 505 Cherry street. ling liaising at Alt• Airy, Twenty. second Ward. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Repub lican citizens of Mt. Airy and vicinity was held last night, when a beautiful flag, with the motto "Grant, Colfax, Tyndale, Taylor, and the w4ole ticket," inscribed upon Its folds, was gang to the breeze. A stand decorated with flags and lamps was erected. The audience at one time numbered fully fifteen hundred. The meeting was organized by calling Joseph Hill, Esq., to the chair, and Appointing the following ylce Presidents and Secretaries: Vice Presidents—Wm. McCallum, Joseph Carr, Joseph Miller,Thos. H. Garrett, Samuel Ramsey, Lemuel Zell, Samuel Minnick, Job Haas. Secretaries—W m. Shermer, Jas. M. Hollings bead. Dr. John Shellenberger, Gavin Nell Abraham Thomas. Wm. F. Smith, Esq., opened the meeting by a soul-stirring address, appealing to the feelings of the workingmen to uphold their interests by rallying to the support of the Republican ticket in October. He was followed by Fredk. Dlttmann, Esq., Capt. Curry, E. H. Coates, Esq., and others. During the meeting the Twenty-second Ward Tanners' Club, of Germantown, came upon the ground. It numbered about two hundred and filly members, presenting a fine appearance, and was enthusiastically received. Many houses in the neighborhood were beautifully illuminated and decorated with flags, A large number of Democrats were present,and the convincing arguments of the speakers ap peared to make a decided impression upon them. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and the meet ing adjourned at a late hour. Republican Meeting at Brideebturg. The meeting at Brldesburg, yesterday was a great success. The speakers were Wm. H. Bar leigh, Esq., Hon C. R. Van Wyck, of New York; Senator Connell, of Pennsylvania, and others. All the speakers were listened to with real enthu siasm. The Frankfort Club came in about nine o'clock. At a meeting of the Ward Republican Conven tion of the Twenty-fourth Ward, held last even ing, John A. Mangle was nominated School Di rector, in place of Henry Glass, declined. The Battle on the Republican River— Retreat of the Savages-account of the Killed and Wounded.•.heavy Losses by the Enemy. FORT HAYES, Kansas, Befit. 28, 1868.—The fol lowing despatch was received yesterday at the headquarters of the department in the field: DETACIERIMT OF UNITED STATES TROOPS, DRY FORE OF THE NORTH FORK OF THE REPUBLICAN RIVER, Sept. 26, 1868.--Colonel Forsythe sends his love. He is badly wounded, but will be able Co travel to-morrow. Lieut. Beecher, of the 3d Infantry, and Dr. Moore, died of their wounds and are buried. Lieutenant Colonel Carpenter arrived here yesterday at 10 A. M. Ilia prompt ness and celerity of movement deserve credit. The scouts I sent from Wallace met on Beaver creek, they having been driven back by the In dians. I started them again, but they could not find the command of General Bradley, who did not reach the Forks until yesterday. Forsythe's men fought desperately; the details of his fight I leave for him. His spirited and noble conduct encouraged his men. There are few cases on record of more desperate fighting and continued• endurance without food, except horse flesh, and surrounded by the dead and dying. I cannot remove the dead, but the doctors say I can remove the wounded to-morrow to Fort Wallace. Colonel Forsythe estimates the num ber of Indians at six hundred. He takes this es timate from the judgment of Sharp, an old and experienced scout. They were Cheyennes, Arra pahoes and Sioux. Lieutenant-Colonel Carpenter reports that he struck the trail and place where they. had en camped probably for two days after leaving here, and the trails show that they are going southeast towards Beaver creek. He found the bodies of five Indian warriors (Cheyennes) about eighteen n.iles from Forsythe's camp. evidently some of the killed in the fight with Forsythe. There must have been at least seventy-five In dians killed or wounded at the lowest estimate, Forsythe lost of his party five killed and fifteen wounded, and all his horses. The following is the list: Billed—Lieutenant F. H. Beecher, Act ing Surgeon Moore, T. W. Culver, William Wil son and Louis Farley, Wounded—Colonel G. A. Forsythe (twice), William Armstrong, G. B. Clarke Barney Day, H. Farley, Richard Gantt, John Haley, Frank Harrington, W. H. H. Mc- Call, Howard Martin, Thomas O'Donnell, IL H. Tucker, Louis McLaughlin, Harry Davenport, S. R. Davis. I have the honor to remain, your obedient servant HENRYC. BANKIIEAD, Brevet Colonel Commanding. The comedy week at the Arch Street Theatre began most auspiciously last night, with the per formance of Mrs. Incbbald's fine old drama, Wives as they Were, and Maids as they Are. This play—albeit containing much of the license of thought and speech characteristic of the last cen tury—is one of the best of its class, and deserves mere frequent representation; - The plot is by - no means intricate, but, as it should be, is subordi nate to the development:of the characters. These are distinct, stvongly marked and true to the pe riod of the play. A wide diversity of passion and of sentiment is presented, and the contrasts between dissipation and vice, integrity and virtue, are forcible and evident: The text is very much above the usual level. It sparkles with wit and humor, with apt repartee, and itis oftentimes full of genuine pathos and tenderness. Many of the situations are highly dramatic, and they are approached so naturally and unaffectedly that they gain in force what they lose in abruptness. It is pleasant to say that the performance of this drama by the Arch Street company left nothing to be desired. The characters were sus tained by a coterie of such artists 'as we rarely find upon the stage together. Perhaps,' with the exception of Mrs. Drew, none of- them have marked and unusual ability, but they are all much above the average, and when cast for a fine play, they present it with an evenness and. balance, that cannot be attained in a theatre where one good actor bears away all tbe laurels front his incom petent associates. .Mrs. Drew herself is a "star" actress. In comedy parts likethat of "Miss Dor ratan," she bas no superior that we. know of in the profession. Rer personations aro always II epublican Nomination TIRE INDIAN WAR. DRAMATIC. =GLIM COMEDY AT THE ARCH the highest sense artistic and' complete. Last evening she made good her claim to all the praise that Las been bestowed upon her,and gained fresh honors. The dramatist's conception of the im provident and reckless, but warm-hearted and generous girl, found in her a worthy interpreter. Mrs. C. F. Maeder appeared in the character of "Lady. Mary Raffle." This lady is well known to older play-goers as the Clara Fisher who,years ego, acted and sang with charming grace and sweetness. Heureappearance here,after the lapse of many seasons,was very warmly welcomed,and the manner in which she presented her part, left no room for doubt as to the continued excellence of her histrionic powers. She played most ad ndirably, and found favor immediately with those to whom she was a stranger, bat with whom, while she remains a member of the Arch street company she will have an opportunity of corn pletely establishing her popularity. Mr. A. Everly appeared as "Sir WM. Dorril- Ion," a character which is difficult, because it to some extent, passive ; is often surly and ill natured, and not at all calculated to excite any enthusiasm in the audience. Mr. Everly's pre sentation of it was quiet and unaffec ted. In one or two passages the text presented such a positive invitation to the actor to indulge in rant, that in most cases the tempta tion would have been Irresistible. Mr. Everly contrived to depict violent paselon without "shouting" or tearing his hair. Mr . Barton Hill as "Evelyn" had to play a part that was the posittvo of this negative. Where Mr. Everly was morose and sullen, Mr. Hill had to be sprightly and full of vivacity. The character is a pleasant one, al though it is a little too wicked to be admirable. Mr. Hill of course did full justice to it. Indeed, this may be said of all of the performers, and a specification of the individual excellencies of each would only result in tiresome reiteration. If any other might be mentioned especially, it would be Mr. Mackay, whose "Lord Priory" was not surpassed by the personation of any other of the actors in the piece. Mr. Mackay has the merit of doing well anything he attempts. It happens so rarely that unqualified praise can be bestowed upon a dr.:alatic representation, that it is apt .to sound like mere flattery when occasion actually offers. But in the case of the performance last night there Is room for warm eulogy, and it would be unjust to withold praise rom an entertainment that was exceptional in its excellence. The theatre was crowded, and we sincerely hope It will be so during the whole week. Piave like the Jealous Wife (to be given to-night), The I,lvals,The School for Scandal,.The Belle's Strayo6M, are given rarely enough, and poorly eugh elsewhere. Let the public then, suet* . Mrs. Drew in her effort to present legiti matedrama in a worthy style. MRS. LiN DER AT THE WALNUT Mrs. F. W. Lander appeared at the Walnut street Theatre last evening in " Elizabeth." This, as we have often said upon former occasions, is a truly great impersonation, and its excellence is nest a little attributable to its complete origin ality. It was Mrs. Lander's fortune to attempt a line of historical characters, at the time when the magnificent art of Rigor' had made historical drama exceedingly popular. But, although Mrs. Lander appeared in more than one of the rOles of the great Italian, she did not, as has been as serted, build her fabric upon Rilltori's feundat tion. Each one of her assumptions of Ristori's parts has been characterized by a clear and dis tinct individuality that completely vindicates the lalm of the American to the title of an artist of commanuieg talent. In many of the episodes of Elizabeth Mrs. Lander displays histrionic ability that cannot be surpassed by any of her countrywomen now upon the stage. These we have particularized over and over again; but one of them, the famous death scene in the last act, deserves to be mentioned here as a wonderful ex hibition of tragic power. It is very doubtful if it has ever been better done by anybody. Mr: &IL Taylor , N - IPtinZefl • to - stipport.M.ras; Lander, as "the Earl of Essex," and to win from his audiences the hearty approbation that his fine acting deserves.

The cable announces the death of Count Walawskl, lately a prominent member of the Privy Council. He w.s born in Walewice, Poland, May 4, 1810, and was -eputed to be a son of the first Napoleon by the Countess Waiewski. a Polish lady of _great beauty, nho attracted the special attention of Napoleon at a to given at Warsaw In 1809. He was educated in I,ent:Vil, and returned to Poland in 1824. When only 18 years of age, he was a prominent advocate of the cause of Poland. In 1530 ho served as an aid-de-camp to the Polish Generalissimo,and gained by his bravery at he battle of Gruchow the military cross of Poland. After the revolution of 1830 he became naturalized as a Frenchman, and entered the army of France. But tare he remained only for a brief season. Ater his resignation he became a society man, a publicist, are a dramatic author. Re was proprietor for a whale of the MesBager des Criambres, and published from time to time several pamphlets. These were well received. but their success failed to satisfy the author's ambition. and in 1840 he decided upon fol owing a diplomatic career. On March lof that year he became Chief of the Cabinet, and under the Guizot Ministry was intrusted with several mis=ions. He was an attaehi, to the Buenos Ayres Legation wtion the revolution of 184 s shook Fumes to its foundation. After the election of Dec. 10, he profited by his ac quaintance with some of the President's most devoted adherents, to seek promotion. In 1849 he was sent to Floronce,and thence to Naples as Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary. In 1954 he was appointed Am bassador to Great, Britain. In 1855 he was summoned to discharge the duties of Minister of Foreign Affairs, rice M. Drouyn de L'llnys, who had resigned his portfolio. To Count Walewski was thus assigned the 'delicate task of maintaining an entente cordiale with Euroi.ean Power , during the events of theCrimeati war. He was successful in his ne* office and was soon afterward honored by a call to preside as the French Plenipotentiary over the Conferences of the Congress of Paris. The treaty of April SO, 1556, bears his sig nature. In 1855 Count Walewski was made a Senator. Die name has since been connected with more of the Important events that have marked the reign of Na poleon 111., who loses in the deceased statesman one of his firmest friends.
