" -‘-S * 'f* * --A Cortcapondcitt corrected. W 3 tfieEditors of the Evening Eullctin: In #youripaper of Friday you publish an in teresting letter from your correspondent at jDusbOre, Sullivan county, Pa.. Will you al low mo to follow it with a few items which may, perhaps, be of interest in regard to the early history of the localities referred to ? Your correspondent speaks of the Valley of the 5 Susquehanna,and calls it the Valley of the LChlgh.' This is an error for which, with all dud regard, I cannot And any excuse. Tho Lehigh river is rich in associations and abounds in legends enough to-repay the most ardent admirer,and it, heed not entrench upon or seek to claim for itself, one particle of the history tvhlch belongs exclusively to its neigh bor, the Susquehanna. The Loliigli rises in Monroe county, Pa., and, running in a south east direction, empties into the Delaware river at Easton. Tho Susquehanna rises in Otsego county, Eew York, and, by a succes sion of graceful curves, it wdnds through Southern New York and Eastern Pennsyl vania, and, running in a southeastern direc tion, enters Chesapeake Bay. . : , ■ It has aValiev singularly beautiful, and full of Indian associations, as the names > of, its tributaries will attest. The Chenango, Che mung, Towanda, Wysaucking, Wappesenmg, Wvalusing, Tunkliaimock and Lackawanna are the most important of these, and all are dcrived from Indian authority. And the river itself possesses an Indian name—Soskionos, “ the long, crooked .river,” and your corres pondent does great, injustice to one of the most beautiful vallevsin Pennsylvania, when lie. sinks its distinctive name in that of a smaller and less beautiful river, whose valley is sepa rated from it by the w'ell-known Pocono mountain, and whose waters do not blond to gethbr nOr approach by at least forty miles. The French settlement at “ Assjium” was founded in the latter years of the last century. AboutlTtiO a gentleman by the name of Thalon was compelled to leave Franee to save his life. He was a man of fortune and family, who was attached to the monarchy, and a price was set on his head. He went into Spain and reached Cadiz, and engaged passage in an English vessel for Great Britain. While waiting for the vessel to sail, he met with a young man—-a native of Franco, by the name of Laporte— who engaged himself to him as his servant, and agreed' to go with him to England and thence to America. Before the vessel sailed M. Thalon wais traced to Cadiz, and officers were on his track to secure him. He went on board,and was successfully concealed by young Laporte, and the vessel sailed. On reaching England, be embarked for America, and landed at Pliiladelpbia, where he was joined bv one or two others similarly sitruited, and with their servants and families, making quite a large party, they went to Columbia; on the Susquehanna river, and securing a Durham boat, transported themselves with their fami lies and effects up tho river, being several months performing the journey. They landed and established themselves, and named their settlement “ Assyluin.” It is nine miles below Towanda, in Bradford county, on the west side Of the river, in one of the most beautiful of'all tlie beautiful bends or courses of that river. . • The house which Moils. Tlialon built was a large one, of hewn logs, and was capable of homing the entire party witli their families (it is only a few years since that the last of the old house disappeared), and into tliis they moved, aud here'lie dispensed liis hospitality and went about establishing liis colony. He sraivedabout three thousand acres of land,and laid out a town or city with great care. It contained a market house and square, and the streets crossed each other at 'right angles; and the care with which it was done is shown by the fhet that,after the elapse of oyer fifty years, and When the sito of the city was covered ■with cultivated fields, it became necessary in running a line between two farms in the neighborhood to find a corner marked on the map of the proposed city when it was covered by forest trees. Oh going into the fields and setting the , compass, the spot was found where it ouykt to be, and on digging down about a foot a square stone was found which had been placed there to make the site. ' ‘ "While these things were being done, the youngmau, Laporte, was promoted to the of fice of Steward by M. Tlialon, his predecessor having lost it by his intemperate habits, and tlie colony continued to struggle with all the difficulties incident to such an adventure. About this time Napoleon became Eirst Con sul, and M. Thalon resolved'to return to France with the surviving members of his party. He sold to Mr. Laporte a por tion of liis land, including the buildings and the site of the city, and Sir: Hornet, another young man in the employ of the colony, purchased another portion, and that which was unsold was left in charge of ' one or the other of these two, and Thalon, with his friends, left for France. The property thus purchased by Mr. Laporte and Mr. H ornet is now in the possession of their de scendants of the third generation. A son and grandson of Mr. Laporte were well known in the political history of Pennsylvania from 1828 to 1856. It was during this period that the settlement of Admiral Du Petit Thouars, re ferred to by your correspondent, took place; but it was, as you see, a distinct affair, and in no way connected with “Frenchtown,” as the locality is called to this day in the neighbor hood. Duthour, and afterwards U A softer name the Saxons gave*,” called Onshore, was on the branch oibthe Loyalsock creek, in the township of Cherry and county of Lycoming, distant twelve miles from Wyalusing, and about sixteen from Assylum. In this neighborhood there are the descendants of some Frenchmen, who re mained after the Admiral had left for France, as your correspondent so truthfully repre sents. Others followed ; and standing with a resident of the neighborhood one morning, lie pointed out to the Tate Bishop I’otter, of Penn sylvania,-the smoke from the chimneys of two dwellings, and told tho Bishop the owner of that oiie fought under Napoleon, and the owner of this one under Wellington, at Waterloo. But! will not weary you with anything further now. 1 have been led to write this by the interesting letter of your correspondent, A. .1. S., and from a desiro to “ preserve the . truth of history.” / E. S. B. Puii.ADEnpiiiA, July 17.1 THE SING SING CONSFIBAC Y. Tlie liisiiluirilliintlon of the Prisoners —Tlie Facts ol' the lie cent Disturb ances. Sing Sing is thp most conspicuously pesti lence spot m the State. The world is always in a tumult there. Just now aspirit of insub ordination has manifested itself afresh among the convicts. The abolition of the shower bath, the crucifix, and other corporeal and in quisitorial outrages is one of the reasons as signed by the sapient authorities for the mu tiny; but, however this may be, two gangs employed in quarrying limestone on Thursday threw aside their tools and refused to labor longer. The keepers urged • them in vain, and the Warden, Henry 0. Nel son, was accordingly informed of the circum stance. He was soon on the spot. He set - down his fiat that the prisoners must either work or be locked up. The mutineer convicts didn't care a fig, so. Mr. Nelson, aided by the prison officials,-formed the lazy pariahs into line and marched? them to their dens, and there they were confined on bread and water as their only sustenance: yet they persistently held out on their uninviting fare. Subsequent investigation elicited tlie fact that the convicts . did .not. relish the. rations formerly supplied, liud that unless they were better feu, they' . Would starve rather than work; Thereupon ■Mri Nelson said lie would take them- at their vydrd, and three hundred soon came to terms ' and wont to work. The remaining four hun dred mutineers were yesterday still, obstinate, and axnuscd themselves in cat-calling, hooting, kicJang,:and raising the incarnate Satan in their ceils! Tbeif bowlings can be heard '.half u mile distant. ' 'Mr; C. C. OhffdsTJri in undertaking toteir «w something of the, origin of the outbreak, says that the spring in the limestone quarry •fioiltwhich the 709,convicts have, been aceus , tomedfo (Iriuk, is strofigly. impregnated with limei aiidtbe prison physician,.

THE MAST HOPE DISASTER. The . Engineer of tlie Freight Train in Poet Jervis, N.Y., Sunday, July 18,18(>!). James Griffin, tlie engineer who, it Ls averred, lay his own carelessness sent eight or more souls into eternity by the horrible disaster at Mast Hope, Penn., ,was arrested as announced in the city papers, at Salamanca, A detective at that place took him to Great Bend, Penn., where a warrant from the authorities was; issued, aiid he was arrested aild' 1 placed m charge of officers until the arrival of police, from Port Jervis and constables from Pike county, ivho put him on board the lirst train east, arriving 'in,, Port Jervis yesterday'at noon. Upon'the arrival of the train carriages -were in waiting,’ and lie was quietly conducted to one of them, and imme diately started for Milford, the county seat of Pike county. A crowd had congregated at the' depot to get a glimpse of the prisoner; but the rnilwhy officials managed the affair so quietly that, he was on his way to jail ere his f riends or the curious could catch aglimpse of him. At Milford lie was given in charge of Sheriff Cor lieliuson, who placed him in jail. I understand an effort will he made to-morrow to secure his release on bail! The 1 prisoner states that he was asleep at the time of the accident, and pulled the throttle of his engine while in a dreamy and half Unconscious state. He Says lie, is extremely sorry, but that lie ought not to ha punished severely. He confesses,that he was to blame in allowing himself to go to sleep, but thinks his fireman was asleep alsohiid says that he depended on his fireman. He adds that he means to tell the whole truth,and that no man ever; worked,,harder for promotion and the interest of the roadtlianhe. Hestates that after the; accident he went to Lacka waxen, byrthe- advice of his friends, and then to his honnefff Susquehanna, Having a sister living neni-.Salainanca, his wife aud friends advised and Urged him to stay with liis sister until the affair liad blown over and he could return in safety. He did not mean to run away. Tlie prisoner is small m statue, and seems reconciled to his arrest, but seems somewhat fearful that he will be rigorously dealt with. Tlie botlies of the victims of the disaster, who have not been identified, were placed in neat coffins, and yesterday morning were in terred in Laurel Grove Cemetery, in one grave, side by side. The funeral services were conducted bv Rev. Messrs. Mansfield, Botsford and Van Cleve. A large concourse of citizens followed the funeral cortege to the cemetery. This afternoon the funeral ofDavid Baer, the German who was killed and burned, took place from the, German Lutheran Church. His remains were interred in the cemetery.— A. Y.Times. THE FRENCH t’Alil.E, Final Operations of the Fleet. Sydney, Cape Breton, July 18,186!).—The French cable fleet engaged in the service of completing the laying of the ocean telegraph lifie from Brest to*St.Pierre, Miquelon, experi enced a heavy gale of wind, accompanied by thunder and. lightning, on Friday evening. The William Corry, which had finished the laying of her portion of-the wire, found it too stormy to attempt the work of transferring the end remaining on board'to the Skandarci ship freighted with tlie next portion. The men therefore buoyed it at sea, after which the en tire squadron made for and put into Mira Bay, Cape Breton. This movement was absolutely necessary for the purpose of repairing a slight damage which had occurred to the “paying out” machinery fitted on board the Chilteru, which was occasioned by a partial collision between that vessel and another during Fri day night. Sir James Anderson, accompanied by a friend, landed aiid came into Sydney overland, intending to proceed nextmorning, by way of ,Uras d’Or Lake, to Halifax and Boston. CITY BULLETIN.

Pate of a Brigand. —We learn by letters from Lemberg the arrest and condemnation of a brigand leader. Since the year 1805 the pro vince of Galicia had been infested by a danger ous band which, when closely pursued, always foimd means to escape across tne Russian fron tier, and defied all attempts of the ablest detec tives to seize or identify them. About eighty persons have been at different times arrested oh suspicion of belonging to the band, but as sufficient evidence against them could not be procured, the authorities saw themselves obliged to restore them to liberty. At length certain suspicious circumstances, such as fre quent and unaccountable absence from home, followed by a .lavish - expendi ture of money on his return, coupled with the fact that precisely at the same time audacious robberies had been committed, pointed to a shoemaker called Joseph Heczy purowicz, as a person well worthy the atten tion of justice. He was arrested on suspicion with his accomplice and concubine Szyper zenska, was proved by- numerous witnesses to have committed, at least, seven robberies, in almost all of which he and his baud had carried away immense sums of money—on one oeea sioiino less than 41,000 florins. Notwithstand ing all the eloquence of the counsel for the de fence he was condemned to twenty years’ penal servitude, and SzyperzensKa ..to three years’ imprisonment with hard labor.' —Berlin Corres pondence. A Murderer Arrested. —Wo last even ing received information that-Brooks, the man who murdered Broadbead, in New Jersey, some six ihontlis since, and who was soon after arrested and then escapied from jail, and who has since been at large, with officers on liis track and a large reward ottered for his api prehensioiq was captured on Thursday after noon, in the woods on the opposite side of the river from Callieoon Depiot. When discov ered, he was-destitute of hat, without boots or shoes, and nearly naked. He made every effort to escapie, and, upon being overtaken, resisted Ins captors until he was exhausted and overpowered. He was then conveyed to Callieoon, where he was confined awaiting the arrival of parties from Port Jervis to fully identify him. His appearance indicated that he had been in tho woods for a time, and although he is much changed, still persons who have seen Brooks declare that the prisoner is no other than Brooks, the mur derer. Brooks has been frequently seen within the past few weeks in that vicinity,and it lias been repeatedly reported that he would soon he captured without doubt, hut until as above stated, he had successfully eluded his pursuers. —Elmira Advertiser, Yith. Austria. —The Berlin Btirsenzeituny depicts the present condition of the German olemeut in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in some what lugubrious colors. “The history of Aus tria,” says that, journal, “shows us that the German element is continually losing ground. The Teuton cannot take firm root in'.the Slavo nic and' Hungarian jirovinees, because he re ceives no encouragement from tho State. In Upper Hungary the German towns are rapidly losing their . privileges; in Transylvania the Saxon- colony is mak ing Ho progress; the Tyrol is becoming every day more and more Italianized; the encroach ments of the Slav populations in Carinthia and Carniola are self-evident. Each provincial Diet is the theatre of an irritating struggle of rival nationalities, the object of which is not political liberty or equality of rights, but . the supremacy of one race over another. This spec tacle is constantly renewed throughout the monarchy; in Bohemia and Moravia no less than in Galicia.” —A new description of lava is being thrown from the crater ot Vesuvius since the last erup tion, consisting of a beautiful mass of crystal lized salt.
