Port Jervis far behind him and sped for miles along the course of the hill-nurtured Upper Delaware, to pause for awhile at Binghamton. Binghamton: the Inebriate Asylu ni. Not so much that Binghamton is strictly a watering place as because a delay in the con nection of trains makes a pause necessary. Yet for some visitors of thirsty habits little else than water can be obtained. The town, with a population of 17,000, has an attractive neis and commercial activity which should bring many visitors to its wide streets, fine stores and elegant dwellings ; but, after all, Binghamton is better known in connec tion with a handsome edifice on a hill-top be yond its limits. At this place young gentle men who find a difficulty in "swearing-off" at home are politely but firmly initiated as ILltlElbers /ire tem. of the total abstinence society. While the influences of the institu tion have not in all cases been unfailing, it is a gratification to know of their generous nature and to assert, upon the authority of a fair resident of the town, that there are few - within its limits who live HO lincuriouily as the guests upon the hill-top near by. A wink will boas good as a nod to the adolescents of the Quaker The afternoon loiterer at the Binghamton depot is often avtafting the start of the train to Syracuse, and as this is upon a railroad subordinate to the great Western lines, it dits them as submissively as their owners are awaited by many obsequious people.

Syracuse, a city of about 40,000 inhabitants, seems to be so capable of taking care of itself as to excite no foreigriauxiety. Its business centre is fixed at the, intersection of the New I York Central and Oswego Canals, and the grade of traversing railroads, of which Van d erhilt's busy line is chief. In this portion . wide streets permit free intercourse with the well-built stores which line them; and Salina street is a commercial 13roadwasc attractive enough for a long promenade. It is named tram one of the principal manufacturing inte rests of the city.", Breweries - are.aLso conspicu ous near the canals. These are spanned by fight4rarebridgm, and suggeat an enterprising Venice to one whose eyes__liave not dwelt upon the slumbering Queen of the Sea. With in a stone's throw a variety of prominent buildings attract attention—the r court house, several churches, a fine public school, banks, insurance offices, ,and the most prominent' hotels. A few steps from this neighborhood the stranger may find, to his surprise, the commencement of one of the finest avenues in the country. BOrdered with wide grass-plots and shaded by fine trees, James street ascends gently for over a mile, and when the pedestrian, after admiring the augmenting beauty of the residences and ap pertaining gardens, stops to rest, he may turn and find a panorama of hills beyond and around the city. Stooping amid them to toil, it stretches gaily up their sides for leisure and repose, seeming, even where its dead rest upon a sunny hill, to retire cheerfully where life's responsibilities nre abated or at an end. The la\ difierent subur all invite a visit., and would furnish pleasant ccupation to the visitor who remained to inspe t them, situated as they are on such irregular ground. A Home for Females ? near James street is one of the newest chari ties of the , city. It is designed for helpless aged women of good character and for younger persons during.the interval which may- occur before a situation is found. Prominent citizens and congregations have subscribed for its sup port and have furnished distinct rooms, some what over-reaching the simplicity of aspect and economy of space appropriate to such an institution. Though under Protestant bounty, it has no religious restrictions. Syracuse has a great inconvenience in the course of the N. Y. Central Railroad through and across several of its prominent streets. Locomotives rumble and shriek along at will, yet the natives make the best of it, and dodge about as fearlessly as rats in the stalls of a noisy stable. Travelers find some inconvenience on their own account in being landed or taken up in the middle of the street, but a projected station will probably mitigate this grievance. Citizens can only trust their flag-men and train their horses for some time to some. From Syracuse we turn to Utica, a rival city in population and in its commer cial dependence upon the same great iron thoroughfare to the West. It is, however, less of a commercial centre, and resorts more to manufacturing to maintain its standing and advance its interests. There is the same cre ditable effort to reader the business and social sections of the city attractive which has been observed in Syracuse, and the ascending ten dency of some of the finest avenues suggests many an airy neighborhood and fine view of the undulating country around. Restricted in his impressions here, the attention of the reader is turned towards The Trenton Falls, which are really most frequently the cause of the tourist's presence in this direction. Au hour's ride on the Black River Railroad, through an attractive countryrivill bring him to the, desired station, when a stage rattles quickly to the hotel. This is a pleasant sur prise, in all its comfortable appointments,and, after an approach through a fine avenue of trees and an hospitably open gate,seems rather like a spacious mansion, in its cool shadow of -foliage l -than-a -pla•ce of-centraot for-Hall the comforts of a home." The delusion is well sustained—The...roadsarear_the house are carefully kept—a garden stretches into the distance I)efore it. Conservatories and graperies are in view, and the woods in the rear are threaded bynumerous natlis lead ing to the veiled beauties of the - rallifin the chasm beyond. The table is bountifully sup plied, and the waiters keep watch instead of being kept watch of. The proprietor is 'an affable . and cultured gentleman, who devotes himself to his• place, his plants, pictures, coins, minerals, music and his prettiest and most notable'guests. Paying a good billis but'a mere incident with snob ad `vantages, /flaying the Palls Out, Of the gum ttbll7 Yet these are the most `• charming . au , prises. Let them be visited about sunset. A few :moments' walk will lead to The Glen, and along abrupt flight of steps descends into it. There the combined stream is rushing like a mill-race between and over the shelving stone, which, in its broad, hard surfaces and compact regular stratification, as ex posed sectionally on either hand, excites in every one something of that interest with which the geologist unfolds the history of those mighty periods prolonging time to an eternity. Fossils of plants and shells are nu merous between the strata. Delicate vertical planes mark the sealing up of some deep fissure in ages past, and the whole aspect of the cif fis, which rise perpendicularly for one hundred feet upon each side of the stream, how that natural forces entirely distinct from the action of the stream have here rent the earth's higher _crust asunder and left -a ruged channel for its course below. tiometimes over a rocky floor like the pave ment of a court, spreading its lucent borders and leaping from prone declivities ; sometimes surging through fissures which plummet could not well sound, The Daring Meer runs its sterile career for two and a half miles, aescendlng in that distance oVer four hundred lest. The path of the tourist follows it pa dt ntly and sometimes rashly up; here thread 'ng a narrow gorge close to the foaming waters; there lost upon the broad, hard bed which they sometimes entirely appropriate ; naw revealing an abrupt and sonorous cascade, commanding the, gaze and dashing the beholder with its spray, new opening a wide perspective of turreted and impending walls of living rock crested ' hardy pine and dripping their charities upon the moss decked stones below. - Twilight gives a grandeur to . the scene j and under its lone, wild influence the imagination half attends the shade of the lurking Indian on the cliffs above and the sharp twang of his avenging how. If the pale, broad moon then succeed the day, silvering the waters and bathing their walls with mystic light, is it strange if our correspondent should rather leave his memories to the reader's fancy than attempt 1 urther to describe - them ? A. G. H. t 110HANITC INCIDENT IN THE WEST A Daughter Found After Thirteen Years. (From the Kansas City Times, July 2 27,1 Nearly thirteen years ago there lived on the banks of the Ohio, but a few miles from the City of Louisville, a man by the name of Henry C. Danforth, the family' consisting of himself, wife and one child, a daughter, only a little more than two years of age: One day the child escaped the vigilant eye of. the mother and wandered from the home:Search was made, hut no trace could be-found of heir prattling darling until reaching the ranks -of the river,- here - herw little - bontret'was seen near the margin of the water. Then, indeed, the little one was mourned as dead, and only a mothers heat can fathom_the. agony of the bereaved parents. - Other children came to take the place off the lost one at the fireside, and the tint storm of grief at the terrible afdic ion had given away to quiet submission; still the-blue, dancing waters of the Ohio always caused.inexpressible sadness to their be reaved hearts. - - Five years ago the family re moved to St. Louis, where they have resided ver since. Saturday Mr. Danforth received tn.anonymods-letter front this city. urging him to cornetip immediately-1f he wished to end kis daughter, whim he. supposed was drowned thirteen years before. He arrived in the city Monday last and proceeded to the place designated in the letter,- and found a woman whom he had known _in _other daps. apidrYnen - ring the grave, and 'a younger girl .n attendance upon her. She pointed_to_the child immediately on, his - entranee," - saying that is your drowned child," and entered upon an explanation which convinced him of the truth of her words. It seems that he him -elf was the innocent cause cf the affair. The woman had loved - him previous - to his mar riage, and When the words were spoken binding him to another all the worst passions of . her nature were aroused, and she determined upon rou t e irevenge, and how faithfully she execu ted her intention the above facts will testify. She had kept herself informed of his where bouts, and when she knew that death would • hortly claim her as his victim she deter mined to make all the reparation in her power. Who can paint. the. Joy,of the father on finding the dead alive? The woman, _ - it teems, had only been in One city some six months, coming trona Cincinnati, to which ',lace she bad first fled with the child. She , aid she bad always treated her as she would ave done her own daughter, to which the child testified, and begged that the woman might be taken with them. The result was, hat yesterday evening the three took the train on the North. Missouri Railroad for St. Louis, and ere this the waiting mother has re ceived the embraces of her long-lost daugh ter. Snch incidents were of frequent occur rence years , ago, but in this modern age it calls forth no little astonishment. THE KII-KLUX. Bandits Here and In Greece. - - The disgrace which a few bandits, un checked by the proinpt and powerful aria of the Government, may bring upon a civilized country has been illustrated in the case of Greece. It is impossible to survey the prac tices of the Ku-Klux organization in this country without regarding that band of out laws as even more dangerous to the commu nity. The bandits of Greece preferred plun der ; murder was only the alternative of ran- Om. The Ku-Klux of some parts of the South preferred nuirder and destruction of property, and the only alternative they ever offered to the threatened individual was . prompt departure from his native State. Only in an indirect way can the ban dits with whom the Government of Greece dallied be regarded as being con nected with politics; the Ku-Klux avowedly commit their outrages upon those to whose political convictions they are opposed. The former perpetrated their enormities upon strangers and foreigners, and other govern ments indignantly demanded of Greece their suppression; the latter, with violence and ra pine, attack American citizens who seek from their State and their country adequate protec tion. Colonel Wm. A. Moore, of Chowan, N. C., in his speech beforethe•House on this sub ject declared - that the whole power of the State was inadequate to the suppression of the Ku-Klux. He says their purpose is "to inti midate Republicans and prevent them from voting at the coming election. They hope to trighten some, and hang others who are too brave to fear them, and thus carry the State in August." ETES ING NEWSPAPERS. Their Superiority. [From tho New York Leader, July . 34.] _ It is - a — noticeable fact that the evening pa pers are getting the cream of the war news. This-is-easily-accounted-for by am different": of time between New York and London. When the last editions of our eveningjournals are ready for the press it is' about 9 o'clock in the evening at London, and the bulk of -the news of that day has been received from Ber lin and Paris.

Public feeling is serious, but firm. Men, women and children are devoted to the defence of the Fatherland." street Scenes in Berlin. The excitement here has become intense, and its character serious. Some houses in the West End to-day have begun to display flags. The crowd yesterday evening at the corner of Unter den Linden and Frederick street was enormous, and the broad streets were every where filled in a way which hardly permitted the numerous carriages to pass. This morn ing a similar scene was enacted in the eastern parts of the town in the neighborhood of the Bourse.

The Cosnnsons !Strongly Favoran Etter. getic Voitey—Blernbers of Paellas:tient Going Into she Prussitan Army. Lordiox, Monday, Aug. 1, 1870.—Three members or Parhament--Dilke, Winter botbam and Auberon liferbert—leave on Thursday for the Prussian army. The debate on the war in the Commons crowded all the galleries.. The feeling of the House was again strongly marked in favor of an energetic policy. AVhen Cardwell pro posed a vote for 20,000 additional troops and .E 2,000,000 he was warmly cheered. So also was Mr. Gladstone when he told Mr. Staple ton that " if colliers are chartered to attend the fleet of a belligerent to supply coal, they will to all practical intents and purposes be come store.ships attached to that fleet and will come under the operation of the foreign en listment act," anti so was the Secretary for War when, he stated, in reply to Mr. Talbot, that the army is at present only 2,500 men below its establishment of 178,000. - Mr: Disraeli's declaration for armed neu trality was not less applauded on the Con servative side, and though the Liberals anted to hear an authoritative statement from Mr. Gladstone, many showed marks of unmistakable sympathy with Mr. Disraeli's more resolute attitude. It is more clear than ever that the _Topular feeling goes beyond the Government. There are not wanting members of Parliament and journals who would prohibit France from buying arms or coal. Mr. Gladstone's strong point was in proving 'that the English military forces, so far -from being diminished, are augmented. The Lai/y News of to-morrow says: " On the whole, we have every reason to be contented with the condition of our national defences, which, with the augmentations already pro posed, will be quite adequate to support •the test secured neutrality, and might, if the Ca larnity_should fall on-us -quickly-expand- into a force ouite adequate to sustain us in the struggle. An appeal to the arbitrament of arms is the very last to which we should willingly resort, but we may rest assured that'it is neither so distant from the thought of the min isters as to be deemed impossible., nor so alien from their counsels as to find them unpre pared."

The temporary manoeuvres at Camp Raid were finished, but as yet there were no indi cations of the camp being broken up or of the troops returning to cantonments, although it istundergtoed that orders were given a fort bit since. --The Faedralanclet Journal says : " The gen eral feeling i 8 decidedly warlike.

Abstinence and Neutrality the Policy of the Austro-illungarlan Ntonarmity,- IPedh Correspondence of the London Times. 1 If any orie_Qould still have _doubted that all feelings—of • - revenge `arid animosity against Prussia have completely disappeared in Austria he has only to follow the manifesta tions whiclehave been exhibited since the differences between France and Prussia have arisen. While the Foreign Ofbce, as it will be able to prove in the proper place and time, joins sincerely in the efforts of the neutral powers to, avert the calamity of war, and pro ( !aims the strictest neutrality on the part of Austria as long as there shall be no interven tion on the• part of any other of the great powers, the organs of • public opinion, v.itliout difference of color, proclaim this neutrality and absence from all unlarfer once as the only policy in the interest of Aus tria-Hungary. On this as well as on the other side of the Leytha there has not been heard a dissentient voice in this call for peace and non interference: However natural'this policy of the strictest neutrality may be on the part of Austria-Hungary, its value at this moment ought not to be underrated. Although there are plenty of proofs that this monarchy has since the treaty of. Prague, studiously avoided in fluencing in any, way the decisions of the South German Cabine, or' meddling in any . way in'German affairs, the attitude of Austria is sure to exercise some influence on the South' German powers. If, therefore, war becomes unavoidable,Austria may claim some credit in localizing it. Bismarck on the Cities which will Suffer Most in the War.

The news which was received from all parts of 'Germany of the most patri otic devotion to the common cause had, of course, a decidedly encouraging effect on the assembled body and their resolutions, which Count Bismarck freely acknowledged.

It, not withstanding this assurance, the menace and imminence of war have now laid upon thegon federate governments the duty of calling you, together for an extraordinary session, you as well as ourselves will be animated with the conviction that the North German Confedera.- lion has labored to improve the national forces, not to imperil, but to afford a greater protection to universal peace; and that when We call upon this national army to defend our independence we only obey the mandates of honor and duty. -The candidacy of a German' Prince for the Spanish_ throne, both with the bringing and the withdrawal of whiCh the — Confederate governments were equally unconcerned and which only interested the North German Confederation- in so far- as the government of a friendly-, country ap peared to base upon its success the hope of ac qiiiring,for',a.. sorely _tried.-pepplo a--pledge for a regular and peaceful- government, ,at, forded the Emperor of the French_ a pretext for a-cat-us bellirput forward 'in a manner' long since unknown in the annals of diplomatic in- • tercourse, and-adhered to after the removal 'of the very - pretext itself, , with, the disregard for the people's right to the blessings. 6f peace of which the history • of a former•rulerof France aflerds so many analogous examples. If. Ger , many in former centuries bore in lailonee such violations of her rights and of le er honors, it was only because in her then divided state site' knew not her own strength. To-day, when the nks_ofintellectual _and-rightful --community'- which began to be _knit, together at the time of the wars of liberationjoin slowly the dif-• ferent German ,races, to-day that. 10-er many's argument leaves no, longer an openirig to_ the enemy, the Ger man natien contains within itself the will and the power to repel the renewed' aggression' f France. It is not arrogance that puts these words in my month. -The confederate govern=' meats and myself are acting with full con sciousness that victory and defeat are in the bands of Him who decides the fate •of , battles.: With a clear gaze we ha.-..e measured the re sponsibility,- which,' before the judgment seat , of God and of mankind; must fall upon him who drags two great and peace-loving peo nies_both,e(pedly enjoyiug and desiring the blessing of.a•Christian civilization and of an inereasing ; nrosperity--all are called i to a more wholesome rivalry than the sanguinary conflict of ' arms.' Yet those who, bold power in France • have, by preconterted misguidance, foUnd means to work---upon the legitirnate • but excita ble national sentiments of 'our great neighbor. ,peopie for the .f nrthera nee of, personal. terests and the gratification of passions. Th more the confederate governments are con scions of having done all our honor and dignity permitted to preserve to Europe the blessings of peace—and the more indubitable it shall ap- • pear to all minds that the sword has - been thrust. into; our hands—‘so much - the -morecon iitiently shall we rely upon .the united will Of the German governments both of the. North and South,and upon your love of Country ; and so much the more confidently we shall fight for our right against the violence of foreign invaders, inasmuch -as we pursue no other' object than the durable establishment of peace in Europe. God will be with us, as Re was with our.forefathers.k, Previous to the delivery of the speech, on the arrival of the members of the Federal Council, Dr. Simson called for cheers for the head of the North German Confederationan appeal which was thrice frantically re sponded to. - , The King read the, speech in a firm voice, hut displayed at several passages much emo tion, and was often interrupted by vociferous cheering, especially when he spoke of the no longer divided Germany—a remark that was understood to allude to the co-operation of Bavaria. The other passages most cheered were the ones referring to the peace-loving German people and the - misguidance of the French nation. At the close of the speech Baron von Frie sen, the Saxon Minister, called for cheers far King William, which were repeated over and over again. As a:heady reported briefly by cable tele gram, the King of Prussia rewired an address trom the. Berlin Town Council, on the 18th of .luly, thanking his . Majesty for having repelled ".the unheard-of attempt made upon the dig nity and independence of the nation," and, asserting that France. having declard war against Prussia;'" every man will do his duty." The address says`-that, " howeVer desirous Germany might he to carry out the • work of peace, no sacrifice will , be considered too heavy to oppose the present rapacious .attack upon the independence of the Fatherland. Prussia, enters, in unison with Germany,' upon a war to which she has been provoked 'by foreign arrogance." ; • • The King in reply expressed his, gratitude for. the sentinients „contained Inlhe address, and said :' ' , • • ' • God knows Vam n a .s.
