The Navy officers and offi,cers of the Marine Corps waited on the President at 11.30, and were received in the East Room, by His Excellency, without any spiech-maklng.

General Sherman wore his , houldepstmps, with four stars gleaming in the sonlight„and the meeting between him and Grant was very cordial. The officers of both services were in uniform, with side-arms, resplendent w.th massive epaulettes and now clothes, which pregented a gay and brilliant sight; for here were assembled some of the most eminent men of the tuition, wilt, • had .distinguished themselves on land and sea by their bravery. TEST/310191AL TO PCN/ATell SCOTT. Senator Scott was honored with a banquet last night by the retinsylvenia Itepublicsna'•. residing in Washington, which was given 'at the Kirk wood. About 169 participated. Senator Scott, the guest of the evening, made an - excellent speech, which indicates that he will become an -cave debater la the Senate when public ques- Vona are ender discussion. He is sound to the core on Radicalism, but there is perceptible in his manner a feeling of diffidence at his novel and responsible position, which will soon wear off in contact with the bright intellects here with whom he will soon measure swords. Speeches were also made by Hon. John Cessna, Hon. John Covode, the venerable Andrew Stewart, "Tariff Andy," as he Is known in Pennsylvania, who is now in his seventyninth year, sad spoke as firmly and strongly as a man of forty. The occasion was a very interesting one, and while It may be said there were a :few office-hunters on hand, no one was indelicate enough to make any allusion to the subject which was so near the hearts of many of those present. A band of music enlivened the scene with some beautiful airs. PEReONAL.. Senator Cameron hasgone to Harrisburg, and will not return till Monday. He is almost run down with office-seekers, and left for a few days to seek some rest. Judge Kelley hmi gone home, and will not re turn till Monday. Nothing will , be done in regard to Philadelphia appointments before next week. The Treasury Departmelt, under the new Secretary, will not be in running order before Monday. Bontwelt received a few applications for office to-day, but made no promises. Commissioner Delano has made no .recommendations for office yet, and will not until he hasan opportunity of patiently examining the claims of all the various candi dates. EttrEIgIIEUANNA. WINTER IN FLORIDA.. A private letter from a Philadelphia lady, so. jot:inking at Hibernia, Florida, gives the follow ing pleasant picture of the delights of a southern winter : " I wish you could see my present home. I wish you could be here for about a month. How you would enjoy it! You speak of our cold weather, but you have little idea of what Florida cold is. We have had an unusal number of cloudy and rainy days, but for the cold, we had the thermometer at 80 deg. on two mornings at 8 o'cicck, and a little skim of ice was brought in as a curiosity. What Is called a bad day, reminds me of a spoiled ehild in a pot, a dash of tears for no reason under the sun, and then a bright, joy ous laugh. So it Is with us; a dark cloud diving us a dash of rain, and then a bright, flashing sun shine. There is no sense of winter about it. , Everything looks lovely and green, the birds singing, flowers blooming, nothing looks like winter. As to . one , of our sulky, grown-up, ill natured looking, cloudy, stormy days at the North, you cannot even imagine it. There are few days when the cheerful, happy people in oar house are not to be seen on 'the croquet grounds (for we have three), in a beautiful grove near the house, or going off in parties in the numerous boats for fishing, rowing, and perhaps flirting; sometimes all three are well attended to In one boat. ' "This Is a real Southern house, for you must know Hibernia consists of one house, and it is on an island; the house is right on the bright, beauti ful St. John's river, and Its banks are a garden In themselves of all the, different colors in green, with tall Pines, and cypress and other trees fes tooned with moss, and looking so delightfully unlike anything you ever saw before. It is a Southern house in all its characteristics, and everybody in it very soon falls into that hisser alter style of living, breathing and moving, but not working. We breakfast indifferently as to times, and after breakfast, the hall,.plazzas and all outside place are filled with loungers. The principal amusements, croquet and boating,•are arranged for, and we have lovely walks through shaded woods, which some make good use of. "Ono great excitement are the mtill-days,and the boats,which - always stop at - our landluk. Every body goes dOwn to see them, and we sometimes have the pleasure of a passihg word with.a friend. If one had an untroubled epirit, this would be almost unmixed beightness of enjoy ment. As it is, nature has sweet, comforting In lluences that are better than man's words. We have boon looking Kin DELFHIA, SATUAD : KY . ;'IMOII 13,1869. the beautiftd unfolding of awing for the last month. You know what apainfal often blighted process it is at 'the North; . here it does literally burst upon you In'the brightest luxuriance. The, wild plum' tree, which is so , lovely, makes :the meat exquisite snow drifts, thrown in among the dark green of the other trees; the wild jatimine; with the most perfect golden wreathe,' throws itself over a jungle of wild vines of all aorta and Binds, a making a per fect fairy bower, and filling the air with fra grance. It climbs to the to of the tallest trees, wlndirg -iteelf through the bright green foliage as if it rejoiced in exalting and displaying ' own beauty: 'We have a natural park-like piece of ground near the house, upon which all this loveliness can be enjoyed, and we have a lorbly grove, where we sit and read, wOrk, and, we have a forest of tall pine trees to Walk through, where Son can fled any number of choice wild 'demos'.

Arrest- Of a ConissithittOr=The Pepe Thinks she Whole World ftliad--ifine Papal Succession. , Resin; 'Feb. 17.:LA great noise being =Wein official circles hero „about the arrest of: two Roman emigrgs named Filibeck' and BOtglall30; whom the Roman 'polite;tifter a long Witch,itave' , occeeded in capturing: It; is pretended that the public meeting at 'Naples to denounce theorem lion of Monte and Tognetti was succeeded by, a ,conclaim of the party of action, which. bent on avenging the two revolutionists, ,coMmissidned Filibeck and Bergliese to assassinate , - 'the Pope, The design' was revealed to the . ROOM VoliCe, and Cardinal Auteuil( even mentioned it to the various. members of the corps diplomatique, but nobody out of the Vatican appears to have believed in it. Certain it is that Filibec.k has been some weeks in &vim, during which' the Pope has walked about, the city and in the lonely roads without the wails, yet the assassin has never availed himself of tbese opportunities of carrying out his design:• apddenly be has been pounced upon by the police. who - the same moment ornate& ,Borgh'ese as he was entering the city in the dill ,irence from Civita Castellano; and the story or . • the assassination is revived. But the population consider' MIS is only a prelude to some stringent measures of repression. The Marquis of Bute, after receiving the sacra ment of confirmation, made an offering of :300,000 francs (412,600) as a Peter-penny. , A few days • ago a plan was submitted to the ; Pope for a new erection of which he `woe asked to sanction. His Holiness replied— "lf we commit the tendencies of the age, and consider,the revolutiOns which are .agitating the world, it is rot baallicas we shall feel called upon to build, but•madhonses; for it is plain that the. whole world is going mad." The - Pope's forces are growing more amimore disorganized, eo that no branch of his service re mains Untainted. After the Sham-fight the other day some Custom House officers who. were present as spectatore fell into _a._quarrel with- tome of the dragoons, which ended in u pitched bouts: Two of the custom house officeraware, mortally wounded. The lathe of the 'order for ine addition of a fourth battalion to the Urban Guard has affronted the Palatine Guard, and the officers of this corps, being under no restraint of discipline, have sent in their resignation in a body. So every day produces some incident to -bow that the various corps of the army have no more cohesion than a rabble. The celebrated Polish religieu.se, the Mother Macrina Miecryalawska, who underwent such cruel persecution in Russia during the reign of the Emperor Nicholas, has arrived in Rome, and teen assigned a convent by the Pope. Some Italian journals allege that the French Government, in order to justify the candidature of Cardinal Bonaparate at the next Conclave, in tends to procure the abrogation of the canon Limiting the Papal succession to the natives of taly. This statement is without the slightegt toundation, as the canon no way affects Cardinal Bonaparte,who, as you doubtless remember, was ~o rn in Rome,and is the son of a Roman prince. —Pall Malt Oazelle. English and American Churches. The Pall Mall Gazette, arguing against union of church and state, says The American precedent proves, if it were ne cessary to prove it, that a Church may thrive without endowment on the other side of the At lu and that Americans, at least, can organ- Ike a gootworkhig body without assistance from the Legislature; indeed, that they can develop very nearly the Same peculiarities as the parent Church, in spite of immense differences in the condition ef. the country at large. It would be useless to point out in bow many respects the precedent Is inap plicable to the state of things which estate in ireland, and how many vested interests will have obe swept away there before the Church could make a clear start as it did in the United States. Yet, if there were a will to do the same thing, it s not too much to assume that.% way might pos sibly be found. Rossini's Rasa. The Pall Mall Gazette of February 26 says: Next Sunday, the day fixed for the first public performance of Rossini's mass, will be, as nearly as possible, the anniversary of the great com poser's birthday. Ile Was born, not on the 28th, but on the 29th of February, in the year (Is.ap year) 1792. Rossini's mass has already Wen beard by a certain number of musicians and amateurs of music, before whom it was per formed a few years ago at the house of M. Ellett-Will. Moyerbeer, after hear ing the mass, went home and addressed to the composer (in Italian) the fol lowing letter, which Is published by M. Oscar Commitlant in yesterdays (Thursday's) Siede • "To Jupiter Rossini. Divine master, I cannot allow the day to pass without thanking you for the immense pleasure given to me by your last sublime creation. May Heaven extend your life to the age of a hundred, that you may write a few more such masterpieces, and may God in His mercy grant me the same number of years that I may hear and admire 'these fresh proofs of your eternal genius.—Your constant admirer and old friend, G. Moyerbeer." E ngl sh Opinions of Reverdy Johnson. The Pall Mall Gazette says : It must probably strike Mr. Eeverdy Johnson as an unfortunate coincidence • that while he is loudly asserting thegood will of his countrymen towards ne, every other exponent of American opinion indignantly repudiates his flattering words. It requires no little courage for one man to go on affirming that he represents the senti ment of a nation' when the whole nation is loudly contradicting him. Mr. Reierdy Johntion is un intentionally embittering the relations between England and America, by tempting Englishmen to return open defiance for latent hostility. The first conspicuous example of this dispositton may be seen in a leading article of, the Times this morning, where the Alabama controversy is resolved into the question, "Who's afraid?' When the writers on both sides of the Atlantic set work. to prove that neither Power has any thing to fear from war, it will look lit for the prospect 01 "blissful, heavenly, happy pesos," which Mr. Reverdy-Johnson has even in ono of his raphirotts visions. The Tines makes one admission which does not help ue much: filOR intfaiß cowiTity. 'toter- atieeetors were robber's and pirates, sand the 'Americans are a step further from itiat<Origin than we are, for we are an earlier ink, I,n the chain." Our piratical propensities hat,ii been done fulljustice to by the Americans ' ter fehr, years past. They are prepared to con cede anythiug we like to demand on that score. The !Tankers" correspondent of the Spectator describes the feeling of the American people in ilmosttlie very words which were recently used in thisjonreal. "We can also wait for an op ; portunty of letting the British people read the law of international comity by the light of their own burning ships." "The figure which - Mr. (Itererdl),Johneon cuts is really pitiable," says Eaton of February 11. It is a gentler esti , mate of Mr. Johnson's position to regard him as lab ektreeditgly good-natured gentleman,who has totallylaisconceived the opinions of his country -men, andwhoss mission must for the present pthrokfallure. slenormil Grantlellelations to Political • Parties. c _Tram the Riche:lend Whig.] t The New York World has neither the expecte , tion. nor dus wish that General Grant will join the • Detociatle party.

Moreover, be does not wish his constant inter views with Radical politicians here for two months past, his frequent closet conferences with General Grant, or the accident of his bein a g blood relation of the Dents, to be construed into even a willingness to have his change of senti ments attributed to equivocal motives.

The Washington Star, of last night, contains the following, 'in which it will be observed Binckley makes himself a sort of hero: To the Editor of the Evening Star:—lf you de sire to give your readers the actual troth con cerning an incident noticed by you yesterday, here it is. I will, however, omit all facts but such as admit no modification without downright falsehood. Early yesterday morning I unex pectedly saw. Mr. E. A. Rollins advancing from due northeast corner of F street. When about midway on the street-crossing .I advanced directly to meet him. I said not a word, but exchanged looks of recog nition. When nearly within striking distance I threw asidelny cloak (not my coat or hat), and my cane, and raised my hand to strike. Mr. Rollins hesitated not a moment. Leaving the crossing be.passed diagonally through the mud to the north side of F street. From the instant that I liftedmy and Mr. Rollins ran like a rabbit, and I confess, with poor exultation, that I chased him like a dog along F street and up Fifteenth for the distance of a square and a half, endeavor ing from the first step to catch him. I never heard his voice, nor was it possible for him to have made any gesture or motion'but that of frantic and headlong flight. To suppress my voluntary resignation for the purpose of falsely converting It into a shameful expulsion from office, would not alone have lifted Mr. Rollins's frequent Blen ders high enough for me to see them; but,having contrived to get this one accredited to the world by the President of the United States, I have, as above sot forth, signified, and Mr. Rollins has confessed its malice and meanness. It may be proper to add that yesterday was the only time for many years when I have had what the vulgar call, a fight. Jour; M. BINCKLKY. Homicides in Kentucky and Tonnes- Davis Smith was shot and killed at Fredericks burg, Washington county, Ky. on Monday of last week, by Dr. John W. Carrico. There had been a difficulty between the parties two or three months before, growing out of jealousy on the part of Smith, and Carrico then fired a shot or two at Smith without effect. It is said that each had threatened to take the life of the other. Early last Monday mOrning Smith passed by Dr. Car rico's office, going to feed his horse, and having corn for that purpose in his arms. When he *as about opposite Carrico's office the latter fired at him from the window, , discharging both barrels of a double-barreled shot-gun, loaded with buck shot. The first• shot took effect, and Smith ex pired almotit instantly. Garrett Hall, Register of Morgan county, Tenn., was shot and killed last week at Montgomery, Tenn., oy William J.

They had. thus -proceeded but a few steps-when the treacherous 'Keith, with one arm encircling his confiding victim, with the other shot him in the back, the ball penetrating^ to the heart, from the effects of which he died in a fet.w minutes. POLITICAL. see. [Prom the Louisville Jourual, March 9,1 SOUIREBN 01/BAN IMPAIDITIONS. ysterious Ilaovements of ex-tlon- Setter/lute COnerlieiS—Aneged Views of President Grant• We clip the following from the ,Charleston New: of the 10th, and publish it with the remark that the story about Grant's connivance is un doubtedly false. There are so many persons in Charleston who are now or who have been engaged in the Cuba trade that great interest has been shown in regard to everything that relates to• the progress of the Cuban Insurrection. We cancot say that the popular feeling has altogether been on the side of the "rebelk" for men have contrasted the merciless manner in which the Southern "rebels" were treated with the expressions of profuse sympathy which the North can find for "the rebels' in Cuba and Crete. Yet there has been a restlessness among the people which betokens the awakening of the old spirit of adventure and romance. This Is particularly the ease among the young men, and for weeks past it has been rumored that expeditions in aid of the Cuban insurrectionists were fitting out on the Georgia and Carolina coast. We have not been able to obtain such informs- UM as would justify us in saying positively that any of thew expeditions have actually reached their destination. Indeed, a too great publicity Wottld awaken the "'vigilance of the Spanish spies and would' make a sneceSsful landing difficult to any but such men as those who ran the blockade of Charleston so often during thelate unpleasant ness. We may, however without compromising any ono, say that Captain Frank Bonneau, one of our most skillful mfirinere and bravest men, has safely. arrived •in Cuba. Of him. no more must be Bald at this Mordent. A few days ago some surprise was excited by the arrival in Charleston of General Jordan, for merly chief of staff of General Beauregard, This 'ollicer moved about very quietly, and no sus picions a 4 to his real object were entertained until it was lottml, that he had disappeared from the city. The report' is—andwe have no reason to 'doubt its correctneas- , -that General Jordan has sailed for Otitis. But this is tot all. , Prom what has leaked out since the departure of General Jordanit launder. stood that he ,is in full accord with President Grant, and is acting with 140 knowledge and con &zit. The new President has already said that o "Spain is entitled to n consideration at the hands of the United - States, and' he is known to, be strongly in favor ,Of • the acquisition of more territory. Cuba would be a dainty mor sel for the Radicals. .There would be' half 'a million , negroes to vote and legislate and 'play '!Old Harry" with the prosperity, of the islapd.; sad there would be as .many white men to rule bYmartial law, to Nebr Englandize, and, finally," to teebriettruct. • No wonder that Grant shill/141W in favor of acquiring enbak: It is true .that.there may be a lion , in the path, but an ex 'cuse can be found for the suspension of diplomatic relations. This could not better be • done than on the • plea that Spain was insulting and injuring American citizens. This mby be the reason why General Jordan, it is said, has been assured by President Grant that if he falls into the hands of the Spaniaras no hair of hie head shall be Injured. and that no Ameri can who takes part in the insurrection shall be improperly treated by the loyalists. This is the story as it comes to ns, and we should not be surprised if there were more start ling developments in the course of the next few wetks. Abases in Iwo navy Department to• be Remedied. • The iY t r. Herald's Washington correspondent writes: Secretary Borie has turned his attention to a number of loose matters that have been running on In that department - for the - especial' 'benefit of certain select parties, and has abaft made up his mind to find a remedy for these "abuses." One of them, which, it is said, will come in for early attention, is the manner in which disbursements are made In Europe for our navy. For the last fifty years the banking house of Baring Brothers, in England, has been receiving deposits from this government intended for disbursement on ac count of our navy. An old law reqpires the Baring Brothers to acknowledge the receipt of money deposited with them slxty days after it is placed to their credit. They receive the money now within a fortnight after it leaves this country, so that they have the Ilse of the money five or six weeks before they be come responsible for it. For all moneys de posited with them the Barlngs pay interest at the rate of four per cent. per annam, and for ail money they pay over and above the amount on deposit they charge interest at the rate of live per cent. per annum. A statement made out in ,he Treasury for the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1868, shows that the United States Government paid the Baring Brothers, 6115,000 for disbursing $3,000,000, and the amount paid them averages 00,000 every year. It is probable that a finan cial agent will be appointed from this country. ANIUSENIENTS. —On Monday evening next, Messrs.

Voltaire is known to have despised his own legitimate name of "Armlet" as "a peasant's unmet" and it is fairly surmised that he adopted that of Voltaire as the best he could find among those already borne by members of his family. It is cratifying to observe that the sporting habit of iraclue pedigrees is not a source of knowledge in regard to horses alone. —Nowhere in Europe are the carnival festivi ties now-a-days merrier than in the ancient city of Cologne, on the Rhine. among the gor geously.decorated wagons the two that elicited this time the most rapturous applause, were those which represented France and Spain.
