The Now York Times, dieeassing the Alaba ma correspondence between Secretary Fish and Mr. Motley, says: We have prepared the public for the corres pondence on the renewal of the " Alabama claims" negotiation which we publish this morning. The most important news connected with that correspondence we announced to our readers some weeks ago, but. there, are many weighty facts and arguments in' the despatches which deserve careful considera tion. ' In the first place, we', are satisfied that the public will eordihlly approve of the mat; ner in which Secretary Fish has once more enumerated the 'injuries sustained by the Governinent and people of the ' United States, by the action of Great Britain during the war. it may, perhaps, be said that since the correspondence opens with the condition; that whenever the negotiations are renewed they shall. be dis • cussed in 'Washington, it is not quite blear what good end was to be answered by re viving every disputed point in a preliminary desnateh to Mr. Motley. The controversy is in this position : The United States founds its claims upon a view of international obli gations which England has hitherto repu. coated. We say now .that the , argument must in future •go on at Wash; ingten instead of London, aitd it may seenuto some a loss of time to begin arguing it in London in the same breath. But the despateh.of Secretary Fish contains a very careful and able summary of all the preceding stages in the dispute, and reiterates, with great force and firmness, the ill usage which we clearly sustained by England's premature re cognition of belligerency. Furthermore, the Secretary's statement that the former treaty was rejected in the interests of peace will command universal assent in this country. - The historical value of the despatch sent to Mr. Motley last Septeinber can scarcely be overrated. It will be seen that there has never been any disposition on the part of the President to al low the claims to be put out of sight and for gotten. Mr. Motley was expressly instructed to ask that the suspension of the negotiations should last no longer than was absolutely necessary. The President further made the important proposition that whenever the questionicame up again for consideration,an at, tempt should be made between the two Gov ernments to come to an agreement Con cerning their respective • rights and duties AS neutrals. Something of this kind can alone insure a permanent security against future complications. To close the Alabama claims without a distinct under standing for future guidance would be to ad just a temporary quarrel, and leave the ex..' citing cause of it untouched, to work further mischief at sonic other time. The course taken 'by England in 1861 was denounced by two at least of her leading Liberal statesmen in the ouse of CommonS, and Secretary Fish de dares that it was " without precedent or parallel in the history of civilized nations." The whole subject has now to be dealt with at the seat of our own Government. The United States has not receded from any one of the positions it has taken no during the pro tracted negotiations, while Great. Britain has found itself compelled to relinquish the ground which Lord Russell unwisely took as his standpoint. A similar spirit of concession mar now result in a formal settlement of the difficulty.. 'England certainly has no interest in leaving it open for other powers to treat her as she thought proper to treat us. Our liminess in refusing to assent to imperfect compromises is as much in her - interest as in that of the peace of the world. That consider ation has doubtless had its influence upon the British Government, and induced it the more readily to comply with the preliminary condi tions exacted by President Grant. CRIME. 111A11 Y NOBBEILY IN rumrsisumum. A Freight Car Broken Into-00,000 Worth of Freight Stolen--Recovers' of a Portion of the tioods..Arrest of the Probable Thieves. TheTittsburgh Dispatch of yesterday says: Yesterday a couple of men giving their names as John Frankfort and Samuel Ham bright were brought to this city from Lancas ter, Pa., and incarcerated in the lock-up. The individuals are 'charged with the robbery of about 0,000 worth of goods, in boxes, from a freight ear of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The theft was committed on or about the fifth of last November, while the car was standing upon a side track at the Outer Depot. On the ° discovery of the robbery the matter was kept very quiet while Mr.J.McC.Creighton set about discovering the perpetrators. Several weeks after the affair a house was discovered in the vicinity of' the Outer Depot, which had been rented and occupied a short time pre viously by a couple of men under rather sus- , picious circumstances. Parties living' in the I neighborhood of this house informed Mi. Creighton that about the first 'week in Novem ber the tenant of the house had received quite a number of large boxes of freight. Soon after the large, boxes had been received a , • quantity of smaller boxes were noticed atriv ' fug at the house,and in a short time they were again shipped away, and with the departure of the last of the small boxes the men also dis appeared, where to no one was able to tell. ! -I , ot long since the house referred to was ' opened and searched, and a number of the , f' 7 lA Loaf*: taken from the freight car were 4 , dis .covered, as may be supposed, empty. The in -vestigation was continued, and soon a man was found who had purchased several butt- Bred dollars' worth of feathers from the men of mystery. The purchaser gave .a description of the men to Mr. Creighton and ;;t% fold that gentleman that he was of the opinion hat the men had gone to Chicago. That ell r ~.. , j ~~. t . ' . 1 , - J. E.

The, officer' . and the feather man at once proceeded to Lancas ter, and the ~ suspected Men proved , to.; be the identical °baps 'Wanted. They were at once arrested , and brought to this city , and incarcerated, ,for trial. At the Chicago auction' house, some in' cash in the hands of the firm, proceeds of the sale of the stolen goods, have been attached; and it is believed that a further investigation will prove that the loss will be but slight. Frankfort and Hambright , partially confOis their guilt and the former states that he broke away fromthe Lancaster jail not long since. Both individuals will likely have an opportu nity for silent meditation granted them during the present term of Court. THE II MAKENSACK BRIDaIE TRAGIED'It , A Queer Statement. It will be remembered that some time ago a conductor on the New Jersey Railroad put a man named Lane off of a train on the Hack ensack Bridge. The man was supposed to be killed, and the company paid his widow $7,500. The Jersey City Journal, however, publishes the following communication in reference to the missing body of Constable Laue : I see that Mrs. Lane has offered a reward of $25 for the recovery of the body of her hits band, Patrick Lane, the East 14'i:iv/ark Con stable, supposed to havei been drowned in the Hackensack river. This offer is very liberal on the part of Mrs. Lane, especially when it is taken into consideration that she has received from the New Jersey Railroad Company $7,500 to soothe her for her loss! Now, sir, I have some reason to believe that Lane was not drowned, and that he, is now alive and well, and that if Mrs, Lane will raise her re ward to at least $l,OOO her husband's body_will be brought to her within a week. When Lane left he had in his possession between $3OO and $, collected in Jersey City and when he got 4oo off the cars he disappeared , from' the bridge where there are plenty of timbers in the water, which could easily save him from being drowned. I repeat, let Mrs. Lane offer $l,OOO or more reward, and I think the body (alive) will be returned. Orrit WHO KNOWS SOMETHING. A ClitilClL A Frostily's; Man Maltreats a Turkish Damsel. " ' The World of this"morning says : The elopement of a Turkish. .lady With a Christian is not an everydayoccurrence. The fair, black=eyed Mahometans are, aK a rule, averse to the tender suit of the infidel: They evidently believe him - to be . a " harem searrum" sort of a fellow in iinitter:s of love and religion, although so far as the harem part of the characteristic goes they arenot diSposed to take any grave exeeptions. ' Christians 'have, however, wooed and won the affections of Turkish women, but so rarely,- that the fact, when it does occur, is considered a Mat ter worthy of . public, if not , international gossip. A case in point has just come before the'Police Court in Brooklyn, the particulars of which are as follows : . , •• PUT IN JAIL. • , • On application of Mr. D, B. Phillips yester day, Judge Troy granted a writ in the case of I%fiss Hentus Hartivtunia;whn, _it appears, had been sent to the Penitentiary for two months by one of the police magistrates BrOoklyn without any just cause.' The lady is, as stated, a native of Tiirkey,Woll educated and refined in her manners. She was brought into court, and Mr. Bertrosinn appeared in her behalf, and also on behalf of the . Turkish' consul at this port. From the: lady's Story ; Stated through au interpreter, it appears that she was the victim of a base conspiracy. LOVE - TILE , CAUSE About a year ago, she says, she made the acquaintance of a man named C.H. Christian, DOW a confectioner on Fulton avenue. She first saw Mr. Christian in Turkey,who after a short courtship induced her to elope with him to the United States, taking withher a large amount of nioney,whieh now appears to have been the object of Christian's affections, and not the fair Hentus. However, she consented to accept the proposition; and the couple started fir America. After they had sufficient time to recuperate fi:oui the effects of the voyage, the lady demanded • that Mr. Christian should marry her, and then for the first time, as she. alleges dis; covered the falsity of the faithless Christian, who not only refused to marry her, but re fCsed to refund her money, or give her any support. She continued to call on him, a 9 she had a moral if not a legal right to do, but he answered her appeals . with threats, andi finally caused her arrest. Justice Lynch, after hear ing the case, sent her to jail for ten - days on the sth of the present month, but she had no sooner got out than she again called on the hard-hearted Christian, to whom she' ap pealed for support. She rang the door-bell of the cruel betrayer's residence, but as before he ordered her away. She refused to 'go, and was AGAIN ARRESTED and taken before Justice Lynch, who was de termined to be more severe with her this time, and accordingly sent her to the penitentiary, as already. stated. • The attention of the Turkish consul was now called to the case for the first time,and through his efforts it was brought before Judge Troy, who, on hearing all the facts, at once liberated the prisoner. The judge said, in granting the discharge, that her case was a distressing one that she was deserving of a great deal of sym pathy, and called the 'attention of District- Attorney Morris to the 'facia, with, a ; view of sending them before the Grand Jury. Judge Troy said this is not the only case in which he had been called upon.to release prisoners com mitted by police magistrates without proper complaints or evidence., DISASTERS. Dl9 HMIS CO N FLA.GB AMON ANAL LEGUENY, PA. The Fifth Ward School House In RUMS.. Loss sos,ooo—lnsurance $41,000. [From the Pittsburgh Commercial A fire broke out yesterday afternoon, at a quarter to five o'clock, in the Fifth Ward School House, corner of Fulton and Page sts., Allegheny. The fire was first seen issuing from the roof near a flue, and an alarm was immediately sounded,which was promptly re sponded to by the firemen. Owing to the scarcity of water., the firemen could not work effectively, and in spite of their exertions the fire spread rapidly, and soon the whole build ing was enveloped in flames. Fortunately there were no other buildings near, for they would have been in imminent danger, and water being scarce in that neighborhood, could not have been saved. The fire con tinued to rage furiously for nearly two hours, and was not extinguished until the whole building was destroyed. The walls were still standing when we left. All that was' saved was the furniture in the Principal's room on the first floor, and a number of teachers' desks. • As to the origin of the fire, it is sup posed to have caught from a defective flue, as it was first discovered on the roof near a flue. That the fire did not occur during school hours may be considered very fortunate, as doubtless there would have been a panic among the children, and probably a great loss of life. This school building, which was one of the most elegant architecturally and most con venient in the state, was erected during last summer, and completed in the latter, part of August. It contained sixteen rooms and a large hell and was neatly . furnished through out. It had all the latest improvements, and was a building of which the citizens were justly proud. The Cape Cod Canal.

Mr. R B. Woodford, of West' Winsted, Conn., has stocked this season over twenty ponds in Connecticut and Maine with more than 2,000 black bass ((irides Nigricans Agasgiz), under direction of the Commissioners, and contracted to stock a like,number next season. The trout indigenous in the thousand and ono ?ponds of New England have been an nihilated by the voracious pickerel. It is said the black bass is the only fish that can be pro pagated where this enemy of all fish (not ex cepting its own progeny) has a habitat. The black bass, .proteoting as ho • does his own spawn bed, and the young, fry (even unto death), his productiveness is enormous; nor can the pickerel prevent his wonderful in crease. Roosevelt, in his " Game Fish of North . America," says :—" In all the lakes, large and smell, of Canada, the black bass is found by his ardent admirers. Lake Ontario, Erie Huron, Superior, and all the lakeleta of theinterior, abound with this splendid fish. He has been extensively introduced into the Middle states and finding eastern ponds ad mirably adapted to, his health and propagationi be is populating waters that have heretofore produced little beside perch and sunfish." Lemumn, in his "Adventures in the Wilds of America," says of the black bass:—" From its lithe beauty, its wonderful activity and its value as au article of food, it unquestionably takes rank second only to any fish in American waters." ' In the Popular work, "The Gun, Rod and Saddle," the author remarks :—" For a fish to be popular it must have three requi sites, viz.: gameness ,when hooked, boldness when feeding, and, When ho has yielded his life, be a fit feast for an epicure." All these requisites I claim for the black bas and therefore presume to lay his claims for intro duction before your numerous readers. Justice in Itieziett—alle Case of Cala°.

This is thereaSon why lately all such crimes were tried by military _courts, and nrisoners shot down oven where the proof of criminality was not very clear: Lately several.

In one, dared Washington, May 15, Mr. Fish slinks of the rejection of the treaty by the United States ' and the feeling exhibited by the peeple, and hopes for an early and friendly settlement of the question between the two governments. The letter Concludes as follows: The President recognizes the right of every • Power, where a civil conflict has arisen within another State, and has attained a sufficient complicity, maguitude and completeneL , s,to de line its own relations and those of its citizens and subjedis toward the parties' to the'Conflict. so far as their rights and interests are neces . warily affected by the conflict. The necessity and propriety of the original concession of belligerency by Greatßritain, at the thue It was made, have been eputested,aad l" are not admitted. They certainly are ques tionable; but the President regards that con cession as a part of the case only so far as it shows the beginning and the animus of that. course of conduct which • resulted so disas- tronsly to the United States. It is important in that it foreshadows subsequentevents. There .' w were other Poitiers that were contemporane , ons with England in similar concessions; but it was in England only that the concession was supplemented by acts causing direct damage to the United States. The President is careful to make this dis- YH crhnination, because he is anxious, as much as poSsible,-to simplify the case, and to bring into view these subsequent acts, which are so i porta.nt to determining the question between the two countries. • . • • . I am, sir, your obedient servant, HAMILTON FISH. To Joint Lothrop.Motley, Esq., &e. The other letters are substantially as follows : [Extract—No. .23.]—DE PART Ali T OF STATE, WASHINGTON; D. C..

You have in- ~, , , ,('orated me thm Lorct cutrvinion my no objec tion to this course, and agreed with you that it would be well to give time . fOr the emotions which had been exciteu of late to subside.

To the Right honorable the Earl of Claren.; don. • In a letter from Lord Clarendon to Mr. Thornton, dated Foreign (Mice, London, November 6, 181i9, he quotes the letter of Mr. Fish, and expresses a desire on the part of the British Government to come to a speedy ami cable settlement. He refers to the treaty signed by Reverely Johnson, January 14, and coneludeS; Her Majesty's Government. regrets no less sincerely that the .President of the. United States concurs with the Senate in disapproving that treaty;. but their regret would in some degree be diminished if Mr. Fish had been authorized to indicate some other means of ad jitating the ipiestions between the two coun tries, which, as long as they remain open, can not be favorable to a cordial good understand ing between them. This, however, • Mr. Fish has not been empowered to do, but be ex pressed the readiness of the President to con ! Sider any proposal emanating from this country. obVious, however, and Mr. Fish will probably on reflection admit it, then er Majesty's Government cannot make any new proposition or run the risk of another unsuc cessful negotiation until they have information . more clear than that which is contained . in Mr. Fish's despatch respecting the basis upon which the Government of the United Stated would be disposed to negotiate. But Her Majesty's Government, failing to agree with:Mr. Fisli in considering that it would be desirable to 'turn the difficultiei which have arisen hetWeen the two governments to, good account, by making the solution of them sub serVient to the adoption, as between themselves in the first instance, of such changes in the rules of .public law as may prevent the re.; currence.between nations that may concur in them ,of similar difficulties hereafter, you may assure Mr. Fish - - that , her Majesty's Govern ment will be ready to co-operate with the Government of ••.the United States for so salu =7 a result. which wicutki rE(191.104 to th e mutual honor of both countries, and, If ac cepted by other maritime nations:lmre an int- poitarit influence toward maintaining the peace of the world. • You will read this despatch to Mr. Fish-and give him a copy of it if he should desurelo., have one. I am, CL A I:EN Dos To Ettictittl Thornton, Esq., C. 8., &c. Fort y-tirst 'Coliaress--Piecoad Session. In the United States Senate yesterday Mr. Sumner introduced a bill to carry out the Re construction ails in the State of Virginia, and to secure equality before the law, which he gave notice he would move as a substitute for the bill reported by the committee. It alleges various irregularities and defects in ,the organi zation of the present Legislature, and declares the existing State Government to be provi sional only, and in all respects subject to the authority of the United States. The bill directs the military commander of the First District to assemble Within :Xi dayS the persons elected as members of the Legislature, bid none shall participate in its organization or business without taking the oath of July 2d, 1562. Upon the ratification of the ,Fifteenth amendment by the Legislature thus organized. the State. shall be admitted to representation its Congress upon the ftunia mental conditions that the constitution of Vir ginia shall never be amended so as to deprive any citizen of the right to vote, bold office, sit upon juries, particioate equally in the school fund, or to enjoy equal per sonal rights • with all others un der the circumstances. Amendments may bemade in regard to the time and place of the residence of voters. Mr. Wilson offered a re solution instructing. the. Committee on Mili tary AffairS to consider the expediency of add ing two to the numb of lieutenant-generals, and ,reducing the ultilber of major generals from five to three. lie explained that hisob ject was to do justice to two eminent geaerals, Thomas and Meade, whose gallant services to the country were universally re cognized ; . the latter baying gained, at Gettysburg, the decisive bat tle of the war. The House resolution rela tive to the death of Georg Peabody was con- curred in. The Hense resolution relative to the erection of an equestrian statue in - bronze . of - General Grant was referred to the COmmit tee on Military Affairs. The bill to regulate the immigration of Chinese into the United States was referred to the Committee on Com merce. The Vice-President , laid before the Senate a communication from the .President containing the correspondence called for by a resolution of the Senate relating to American claims against'Great Britain. An Lxecutive session was held. The louse of Representatives continued its session in Committee of the Whole. Mr. Washburne (Wis.) made a. speech in favor of the Government undertaking the telegraph business of the country, in connection with the postal service. Mr. Orth spoke at some length on financial' questions ' favoring consolidation of the public debt at 4. per cent. interest, the establishment of free banking, revision of the tariff and reduction of internal taxes., Mr, Lougbridge spoke of the necessity of economy in the publie"service. Mr. Eldridge spoke in favor of, maintaining the rights of , the States, "and predicted that 4.he time was coming when the New Eng land States would be on their knees, begging that the original rights of the States, secured` by the. Constitution, should be maintained.. The committee rose, and Mr. Stevenson intro cluced,a which was referred, to amend the internal revenue laws )..0 - edlifig'tb, elatiSe allowing street railroad companies to add the Government taN to the fare of passengers, Also to amend:the same law by npe t iltng' clause allowing gas compat , ,les to add the Gov eminent tax to: the contritet price of gas Int , nished to customers. Anecdote or Mendelssohn. A curious anecdote of Mendelssolin is given in Devident's recent,: book: He, was ,in Eng= land when he' received, in 1847, the' gence of the sudden death of his sister Fanny, a lady distinguisLed for her refined and sapc 'rior intellectual powers. Shortly atter his re turn to Leipsic he was attacked with an illness that-Carried :hire Off in a few days ; he ''sue= embed to, it. orithe 4th November,. at' die age •of thirty-nine. On the occasion Of 'his last. 'visit, to Berlin Fanny reproached 'Min with not !having spent her 'birthday 101 th her for years. As he was bidding her' good-by he said You may rely on my being wittflou on the next birthday:" A speCial train conveyed the body to Berlin, and itwas laid, on . the Sth of Novem ber, near that Of his sister, in the family vault. The Bth of November 'WS' the anniversary of Fanny's birth.

The gold is not evenly distributed through the surface dirt, as in ordinary placer "mines, but is colleetedin little spots, and they are very wide apart and exceedingly hard to find, but when your do find One you reap a rich and sudden diarvest. There are 'not nOw more than twenty pocket miners in that entire little region. , I think thnotr2every one',of them Personally.; I have known 'one'of them to' hunt patiently' about the hill-sides every day for S months without finding gold, neough to Make snuff-box-L. his' grocery running up relentlessly - all the time—and then I have seen him find a pocket and take out of it a thousand dollars in two dins of his shovel. I have seen him take out $3,000 in two hours, and go and pay up every cent of his indebtedness, then enter on dazzling spree that finished the . last-of his treasure before the night was gone. And the next day he bought his groceries, on credit as usual, and .shouldered his ;pan and shovel and went off to the hills hUnting pecketS again happy and content. This is perhaps the most fascinating of all the different kinds of mining; and fornislies a very handsome percentage of victims to the lunatic asylum. Honest toil and moderate gains in shops and on farms haVe their virtues and their . advantages. When a man Consents to seek for sudden riches he does it at his peril. [No eharge4 Pocket-tainting is au ingenious process. You take a spadeful of earth from the hillside and put it in a large tin pan and dissolve and wash it gradually away. till nothing, is left but, a teaspoonful of fine sediment. Whatever gold was in ; hat earth has remained, because, being the heaviest, it has sought the bottom: Among the sediment you will find half a dozen shining particles no larger than pin -heads. You are de lighted. You move off to one side and wash another pan. If S•ou find gold again, you move to one side further, and wash a third pan. If you find no - gold this' time, you are' delighted again, because you know you are on the right scent. You lay an imaginary plan, shaped like a fau, with its handle up the hill—for just where the end of the handle is, you argue that the rich de posit lies hidden, whose vagrant grains of gold have escaped and been washed down the hill, spreading farther- and farther apart as they wandered. And so you proceed up the hill, washing the earth and narrowing your lines every time the absence of gold in your pan stows that you are outside the spread of the fan ; and at last, 20 yards up the hill your lines have converged to a point—a single foot from that point you cannot find any gold. Your breath comes short and quick, you are feverish with excitement; the dinner-bell may, rings its clap per off, you pay no attention; friends may die, Weddings transpire, houses burn down—they are'nothing to you; you sweat and dig and delve With a frantic interest—and all at once you strike it s ! Up comes a spadeful of earth and quartz that is all lovely with soiled leaves and sprays of sold. Sometimes that one spade ful is all—Koo. Sometinies the nest contains $lO,OOO, and it takes Yon three or four days to get it all out. The pocket-miners tell of one nest that yielded $60,000, and, two men ex hausted it in two weeks, and 'then' sold the ground for $lO,OOO to a party who 'never got Si:00 out of it afterward. The hogs are good pocket-hunters. and summer they root around the bushes, and turn up a thousand little piles of dirt, and then the miners long for the rains; for the rains beat upon these little piles and wash them down and expose the gold, possibly right over a pocket. Two pockets were found in this way by the same man in one day. One had $3,000 in it and the other $B,OOO. That man could appreciate it, for he hadn't had a cent for a bout a year. In Tuolumne lived two Miners who used to go to the neighboring village in the 'afternoon and return every night with household sup plies. Part of the distance they traversed a trail, and nearly always sat down to rest on a great boulder that lay beside :the path. In the course of thirteen years they had worn that boulder tolerably smooth, sitting on it. By and by two vagrant Mexicans came along and occupied the seat. They began to amuse themselves by chipping off flakes from the boulder with a sledge-hammer. They exam ined one of these flakes and found it rich with gold. That boulder paid them $BOO afterward. But the azgravating circumstance was that these "Greasers" knew that there must be more gold where that boulder came from, and so they went panning-up the hill, and found what was probably the richest pocket that re gion has yet produced.. It took three months to exhaust it, and it. yiejded $120,000. . . .. _ The two American miners who used to sit ou the boulder ate poor yet, and they take turn-about in getting up early in the morning to curse those Mexicans—and when it comes down to pure ornamental cursing, the native American miner is gifted above the sons of men. I have dwelt•at some lengthppon this matter of poCket-mining because it is a subject that is seldom referred to in print, and, therefore, I judged that it would have for the reader that interest which naturallV attaches to novelty.
