of forty miles over a most beautiful c • untry

On, the way a most interesting incident oc

On possible notice the people of
picturesque little village had prepared to
receive the'distinguiShed party, never before
having been honOred 'Vale preset:Wel:if eitlier
a Governor or a United StateS Senator. An
elegant dinner was prepared,af the residence,
of 111 leliolsov hose: Minable WV pre.'
sided with 'exceeding, 'grace and .aftibilit3r.
Dining the discussion of this bountiful repast
the Le Itoysville band appeared and honored
the guests with a serenade. • A committee of
citizens appeared, and insisted that the Gover
nor and the Senator should addreAs thepeople,
then aSSembling'in the" `Congregationalist
Church on the hill. The church was tilled
with men of all occupations—the blacksmith,'
just from his anvil ; the shoemaker, from his
bench; the farmer,from the fields.; the:student,
from his studies. There was one very peculiar
and noticeable feature in meeting. The
Academy of the town was present—every boy
and girl in the institution; who marched in
procession to the church. What city in Penn
sylvania can present So unanimous a feeling in
reference to the policy of the country ? There
was not astudent in this comparatively large,
institution Whose' father' •orWhOse faintly was
DeMocratic. Think of marching a common
sehobl in. Philadelphia, or even in a much
smaller:, conuounity, to a political meeting!
What an evidence of unanimity in the good
came ! But this town holds only-nine Demo
cratic voters. .
I:Cv. Piafif:Mauer, miniSter of the :chinch
and Principal of the Academy, welcomed and
introduced the GoVernor and the Senator i wiM
each delivered an: eloquent little

All along the route the carriages were

all callings and trades incident to countrs;

Three or four miles east of Le ROysville the

`west of :Montrose, they were met by a party
of gentlemen, among whom were 'Captain
jer.sup and Captain McCracken; and within
two miles of lite. place was a large escort of
citizens onlioreeback, heacled.by the Thintiose
band. The entry into town was a triumphal
reetption. . The' streets approaching Seas
hotel were crowded. Cheer unon cheer rent
the ' air. At the hotel the 'Governor and
Senator were introdueed.to a large number of
Ladies in waiting and a singing throng of
gentlemen were introduced to, the Governor
and - Senator. • -
At eight o'clock the band, with a_procession
of citizens, escorted Governor Geary and
Senator Scott to the Court House. This build
ing was. perfectly jammed. There was no
mpos
ighty of getting more human beings within
its walls, and loud calls were made that the
meeting should be field in front of, the edifice,
to accommodate the hundreds who could not
gain - admission. But the approach of rain
frustrated the idea of an out-door meeting.
In this densely packed. chamber were many
ladies. The enthusiasm on the appearance of
Geary in the room was unbounded.
Capt. H. Jessup, son of Judge JeAsup, the'
patriot and scholar of State and - national repu

unpardonable mistake, and. an unfortanate

Seven hundred thousand dollars is a large stun.'
But you are perhaps not unfamiliar:with the'
fact that we haveliad athuge war upon our;

numbering thousands upon - thousands in

we took these children and are providing for,
them, feeding, clothing and ethicating . them,
until they shall arrive at the age of sixteen
years. Por this purpose, my fri - ends, we have s

The "JU.Oble Reports of the Mutiny.
The above despatch, is a partial corrobora
tion of an Associated Press despatch which
was sent from Fari s on Monday, Aug. 29.
That deSpatch asserted that a desperate con
spiracy had been discovered on the Sabine,
then lying in the port of Cherbourg. It stated
that some of the crew, to, revenge themselves
on the officers, attempted to setfire to the
ptiwder magazine and to blow up the.ship. ,It
also averred that the conspirators had pro
ceeded so far in their designs as to light a fuse
communicating with the magazine. The plot
was frustrated by a cabin boy, who discovered
the burning fuse and put it out. An investiga
tion.was made, and the mutineers were ar
rested. The despatch further said that twenty
two sailors were implicated in the plot, and
they were placed in irons. The despatch con
cluded thus : "Seven men have been con
demned to death, and licnigal at the yardarm."
,On Tuesday, August 30, the Navy Depart
ment at. Washington telegraphed that no offi
cial information in reference to the mutiny
and execution had been received.
ltwas not until Wednesday, August 31,.that
.the renorvwas denied. On Thursday a Parts
despatch was printed in all the IMpers, contra
dieting the whole story in the following hazy
despatch
"PAiriS,August 31.—A note from . the Artier
lean Legation contradicts the report which
`prevailed here on Sunday, that a dangerous
conspiracyy, had been discovered on board the

We are not informed concernbaz the author

was certainly not Minister Washburne, for he
was in Germany. Thel&iatch of AuguSt729 -
asserted positively that a desperate conspiracy

COLLYERYjICCIDENTS.,
The Death, that Miners Die.
r . ,F How do men feel Ivhen about to die—not
'after being , weakened by disease or when the
:blood is heated by the strife of battle, but
*hen they see inevitable death slowly but cer—
tainly approaching them, and know that iu
exactly so many minutes it will seize upon
• them and extinguish the lusty life that mil
' mates their frames? Do they rage and strug
gle against their fate, or do they meet it with
, calumess, resignation_ and dignity? In the
recent terrible colliery explokens in Saxony
all the miners were not killed immediately, as
'as at first supposed ; a number of them were
' unharmed by the explosion, and were killed,
after an interval of some time, by suffocation.
Some of these poor fellows.occupied the last
moments of their lives in,writing messages in
their note-books to their wives andehildren,
and these were found when the , bodies were
discove.‘red. There is a eurious pathos in some
of these messages from the grave, but
,the calmness and resignation which they
manifest -is' their most notable feature.
These men; in the 'very presence of death, had
thoughts for every one but themselves. "bear

of Mary; in a book in the bed-rooni you will

The bidletin announcing that .seven 'dead.

heap of over sixty was • discovered in one gang
way at once ended all further speculation as to
the fate of the entire number. The news was •
quickly disseminated, and when the half-past
train front Scranton for the coal mines drew
up at the depot to take passengers aboard,
there was a perfect rush to embark by hosts of
strong and stalwart men, weaning a look of
absorbing seriousness. The train•vvas thronged
to its utmost xiapacity, and though., three
freight cars were added' on numbers were
compelled to find such .accommodations as
they could on the roof of a car, or amid the
billetw of wood on the tender. ."
At Pittston station over two Uniusand per'
sons lined theplatform, all eager to get down
i the scene of the great disaster-many .from
curiosity, others to. learn the fate of relatives •
and friends. Few could find standing-room,
and the great majority were forced to find
other modes of conveyance' or wait for a idler
nein. It was the same at West Pittston,
li.ingston, W oming and Delaware. In, all
perhaps one fmndred and fifty persons were
disatipointed in not having room to ride'
on this train frona Scranton. The women
Were especially nnmerous, and in many in
itanc,es when refused admission on the train
braved the risk of moving cars and creWded
platforms to.jump on board, with every pros
pect. ofinstantlY falling ati:' The country for
miles around appeared to be occupied by one
thought-the accident at AVondale. The
mines of course were all stopped, and every
miner seemed:as if he felt it his_ especial duty
- to - witnewth - e - sad - and - fninfraloinits dn
befelLso large a munber of his class.
• When the train reached Avondale an as
semblage of abtait 10,000 already occtipieil. the
hillside in long lines, rising one above „the.
other, and every eye gazing intently down
upon the road leading to the mouth of the
tunnel, out .of which every fifteen minutes
issued a dead body on a stretcher, borne be
tween tour men.
Just before each body AWLS raised from the
black and awful depths below a couple of
miners invariably preceded it, faint and
weary, leanin upon each other, and, with• a
lantern- still lighted in 'front of their hats,
Were forwarded to the base of a big tree,,
wheie they lav down to' eSt and had restora
tives given diem to bring them back to
strength and fuller consciousness.
Every available, space in_the neighborhood
of the tunnel entrance was hronged by men
and women, the latter sitting like daughters of
jephtha, with features expressive of a deep
and abiding sorrow.
The miners who went down the pit in pairs
were all volunteers-strong, resolute men,
with frames of great endurance-and, though
well used to the atmosphere of mines and ac
customed for 'years to work below the surface
of the-earth, - braving -- and -- bearing well the
noxious gases generated in coal mines, each
one, nevertheless, on reappearing at the sur
face atter an absence of twenty or twentv-five
minutes, showed all the symptoms of the ut
most physical prostration. In almost every
instance , it was necessary to. .apply restora
tives, so great was the exhaustion.
The bottles all, as a general thing, present a
horrible appearance, caused no (11:1Ubt, by black
--coal dust, with which every face was thickly
smeared ; yet they slid not seem to give much
expression of pain in the faces of some,, but
rather a - look of resignation to an inevitable
fate, which gives to some features a calm and
undisturbed appearance. •
No one seemed to be utterly friendless or
left to charity for becoming burial. If he had
110 blood relations-and almost every one
`seemed to have-some comrade stepped for

must have been doubly so to the watchers on
the outside who were so agonized with dread
and expectation lest . the next disinternient

they were especially alit immediately in

A iine-looking, deep-chested Welshinaa,
named James George, l'resident el the 31iners'
Union at Plymouth, performed the duty ,of
calling out the name of each dead miner as he
was brought out, three times 'in succession in,
deep sonorous tones that reached#o thelimits
of the inzinense crowd and was heard 'with a
painful and profound stillness.
The work of brncing up dead 'bodies pro-'
seeded uninterruptedly tlnsaugh the day 'and
'is being - • continued through to-night, . the
general expectation being that all the bodies
will be brought out by to-morrow afternoon.
• Every house in the vicinity of the Avondale'
mines, and for miles, is widowed to-night, and
none butthe Almighty knows the anguish of
this state of bereavement:
HOW the fire originated can never be truly
told, for no one lives to tell. It is fair, how
ever, to presume that a spark from the furnace
in the 'bottom' of the 'pit, .set fire to the dry

vine the destination of our ship or the object
Of our trip; but in course of time we have no
doubt she will he heard from in the right way,
as all the men on board have seen long and ac
tive service eitherin the Union or confeder
ate 7
army."
During the detention of the° Hornet at this
port, her commander, Captain Esling, does
not appear 'to have been as reticent in private
circles as he wain his communications with
the authorities. We understand that he freely
oasted that he was going to Cuba; t tat ti e
revenue officers should not find anything 'on
the Hornet, as he meant to take what he
wanted on board outside that be would be a
rich man after this voyage; that le was to be
paid twenty thousand dollars, if he Carried the
Hornet safely to her destination in Cuba,
which he' declared that he would db.
• Captain Esling is well-known-as a daring,
restless, adventurous sailor, precisfily the sort
of man most likely to succeed in running a
.blockade, or conducting .a filibustering expe
dition. The Hornet is one of the fastest ves
sels afloat, and as she seems to have been se
cleverly managed in eluding the close vigi
lance of our authorities here, we expect that
she will soon be:heard of in Cuban waters..-- ,
It is due to our Custom-House officers to
State that the Hornet was cloSely watched
while preparing for sea at this port, and that
there was nothing About the papers, cargo or
equipment to warrant anything more than the
temporary detention to which she was sub- ,
jected. • " . • ,

Brooks, the United StateS Revenue Detective,
Who was shot in Keenan's liquor store, was in
a much improved condition during yesterday
afternoon and,last evening, brit this' morning
lie was not so .Well. - . .
' The police are working diligently to ferret
out all of the parties who Were connected, in
any manner, with the dastardly outrage, but
thus far no nett• developments of an important
character have been made.

In connection with the subject; the 'Wash-•

tele ,, raphs:
-
"Supervisor Tutton writes that the eighty
seven barrels of whisky stored in the distil
lery warehouse of George MOuntjoy, and
which were removed by some :yerson
, ofrknorkfryi cue - rev , •
officers, were traced to the liquor establish
ment of :Mr..Keenan, Front and Arch streets.
The Supervisor' had endeavored twice last
Week to obtain access to . Mr. Keenan's booksi,
but failed: He determined that on Monday,
Brooks should visit•Mr:Keenan,and if he re
fused-to present his bookS for examination, he
should seize the entire' establishment. He
went there under theseAnstruetions, and one
of the'books was handed him. While exaM
ining it, ht was shut from behind, as has been
published.
"The \ Coinmissioner of Internal Revenue
will to-morrow renew Mr. BroOksrconunission
as a special, detective, dating it Sept.' and
will allow him ten dollars per day and leave of
Absence till he gets Welt.” " "
A CHANCE.—D tiring yesterday the • atmo
sphere was very close and oppressive. Last
evening, Shortly after six o'clock„ a dense
cloud mine up from the &nth, and without
much warning to the thousands of people who
were on the streets on their way .home from
their daily labors, a heavy rain began to `de
scend. or about fifteen minutes the water
poured down in torrents, and the streets pre
sented the appearance of small rivers. The wind
was high, and heavy-swinging.-signs croaked,
and awnings which Were a little ancient
were pretty well damaged. Umbrellas were
of no possible account, - and everybody mho
was out got quite wet. During the early part
of the night the wind continued to. resemble
a gale on a small scale. The storm has re
sulted in a very agreeable change in the • at
mosphere.. To-clay there is a strong wind
blowing from !the west, the air is cool and
bracing, and linen clothing feels rather un
comfortable.,_ The thermometer at noon to
day, indicated 78 degrees, which is a. consider
table decrease since yesterday.

A LITTLE CARE NEEDna.---The placing of
the names of the streets upon, the public lamps
is a great convenience to. everybody. Some
times the lamps get turned, the names thereby
get. inied, and strangers are led astray. The
lamplighters are supposed clean the lamps
at certain times, and when they finish the
work they should he' . carefutl to see that the
lamp .is in its proper position,. so that the
names will indicate the right street.

To the Eclifur u the - Errenbigitattetin:
I see by to-day's paper that'Mr.Drayton .de
ides the truth of my description of, his .p.ano-. ;
,
nua n called "Federals' and Confederates;" and,
says 'that he proposes to exhibit it here, and.
that lie, will prove that my assertions are false . —
,1 know not how it may have changed since
1 saw,ii, but it way then as I- have stated.. 1. ,
will give some of thaparticulars.
It "WaS in the latter part of. April 1863, When
I went to 'see this exhibition, conducted, as
Mr. Drayton admitii, by himself.
Before the performance commenced, Mr...
Drayton came in front of the curtain; and
,saidthat.if.the
.andieuce.would place - ..them- --
selves under his guidance for a short time, he
Would give 'them a view of the civil war now
raging in the United States. Among the first
scenes.were the ocean, and. then a steamer,
and then the city of New -.York, where the •
audience were supposed to haVe arrived. •
Mr. Drayton now began to describe North-.
ern manners and customs. He said that New
England was settled by the Pilgrim Fathers,
but that no one had Over heard of the Pilgrim
Mothers, in fact, (and I think I give his exant
words) - "Northern views off the marriage rite
were very 1005 e,.. and in many parts of:'
the Northern States they are 'scarcely
recognized at all." lui describing:- the
habits of Northern men, hs- said that theylre--
quently eat out of public dishes at the hotels, .
and_that .if . they got anything, that was dis-.
tasteful they did not hesitate.to. spit it back._
He passed by this city with the remark that it,
was noted for nothing, except that you could
ride to any part of the place for film centsin a
street car. •
He: described., the officers of our •army as.
utterly unfit for any important position, and
exhibited pictures of them drunk and gamb-.
ling with their men. He said the rank and file
of the Union many, were miserable wretches,
either conscripted for induced to enlist by
large bounty,, and asked if such men.could c ,
ever conquer a people fighting • fOr their
-dearest-rightu.
•There were numerouspictures.of battles, in._
which our troops were invariably tiyingfrouti , #!;V;

several rebel war songs, and many of the an- r . ,
diencejoined in the chorus. , • ,
Several times during the eVening, hissed}Mr. Drayton, and finally ho turned. and,
thanked me; and said that I had, atibrded
an opportunity to read a letter )vhich, had,
received that day. He took out a letter, Aur-,-. . .
porting to come from a former slave, in :which, ;
--rho writer said that now he was nominally:
free, but that be never knew - what - slavery re
ally meant untilhe fell into. the• hands. of.the
brutal Yankees. • ' . ,
He , showed a picture of the "Illutlis .of•
burg,. where the people were throwing:down.
cotton and inolasses, to prevent Ahem..falling.
into our hands, and appealed to the , aadience..,
to know whether a nation. Who were willing,
to make such sacrifices could, ever be sub-:,
He concluded this performance by Saying
that there Was mreportthat this Panorama was ,
snstained byy the cud of the Confederate States.
He denied that there was any - truth .• in this;
and said that he did it on his own accoant,aad

may add that there were several AMerl,
