The public at large have very little idea of the nice scientific point to which the American lecture business has been reduced during the last few years. The brains and other attrac- Libra of the hundreds of men and - women - who are professional lecturers, and - the capabilities and peculiarities of the audiences of every city, town and village in the ;country have been studied out until each has , been graduated to a oerfect scale, taid the ,afilnities between the lec turer and the lectured determined with a sort of chemical precision: Boston Lyceum Bureau is a business establishment for supplying the country with literary ontertainments, and it has got the lec ture business down to such a fine point that it 'is prepared to take orders for courses of lec tures on all imaginable subjects, of every grade of merit, for every variety of audience, in any part of the country. It compounds a literary salad with artistic s kill : so much history, so much biography, so much descriptive, a pinch of humor, a little science, au attractive woman or two, mixed carefully and served with exact reference to the season, the place and the people. -- It - is—interesting - to - examine the careful analysis by which the Lyceum Bureau's literary chemists have arrived at their important re sults. Recognizing that we are a lecture-loving people, and that, taking the country over, there is no form of popular amusement that is so easily procured and so profitable in its results to both parties, they have laid down a series of principles for the guidance of those who desire to. obtain the services of'-popular lecturers. The special field of the Boston Lyceum Bureau is - New - England, although it is prepared to furnish lecturers for all parts of the,_country. In its instructions to - its clients it has reference chiefly to New England tastes and manners, and here we see how completely the business of lecturing, has been systematized. In New England, we are told, it has been found that particular days in the week are chosen for courses of lectures. Tuesday, Wed - nesday and Thursday are the favorites, while Saturday is so -entirely tabooed - that some lec turers will not speak at all on that day. Com mittees are warned against 'selecting evenings appropriated-to--church- services, as very in jurious to the prospects of success. - -- -Then - it - has-be en - fon:rid - that churches -- will not do for lectures-- The Lyceum says : "There is a certain sense of restraint, springing out of the associations connected with a church, that interferes with the every day freedom and social goodfellowship that should characterize the gathering at lyceums. Many people dislike to chat with their neigh bors before the lecture begins. Some dare not. laugh .there, and applause always loses its heartinces. 'The great speakers never satisfy themselves, never do their best, before grim or critical audiences. Hearty Chicago gets better speeches out of nearly all our star lecturers than heady Boston. The audience reacts on the "orn:tor: 'Even written lectures are read with infinitely mere power when the audience is sympathetic. Now, any building that has any tendency to suppress applause, when an audience would naturallygive it, should be re garded as unsuitable, for a course of secular lectures. Especially Nvlien there is a humorous lecture is this statement applicable ; and the course that has no fun in, it, however good otherwise,will justly fail to satisfy every one.' -Another highly important element of success in the lecture business is fresh air, light and proper temperature. " A good hall is as neces sary to the, success of a course as a good manager and good lecturers." Mr. Beecher, we are told, once stopped in mid-lecture and said : " Now, I shan't• go on till , some one opens these windows. In five minutes you'll become drowsy and think I'm stupid, whereas it's only the abominable atmosphere." The windows were opened, and instantly the audi ence revived, and the lecture was pronounced a complete success. In making a programme for a course of lectures, caution is given not to trust merely to eminent names, but to use discretion in the *election of, subjects. And here the Lyceum Bureau shows how carefully its business has been studied up. It presents a nice analysis, showing how the various' * departments of literary effort must be blended to make a successful course. Where political topics hare been wholly ignored, the lectures have usually failed, as many of the most brilliant stars are thereby excluded from the programme. On the other hand, overdoses of political topics are equally fatal. "To bare politics in town meetings, in newspapers, and in pulpits,— everywhere and every day, from morning to night,—was just a little too much of a good enough.thing in its place; for after all, science, art, music, literature, history and philosophy hare claims on intelligent human beings, even if politics may justly take precedence in the -conduct of the citizen. The lyceum should be the educator of the people in literature, science and art, rather than the ally of the town hall, the caucus, or the church." War-lectures, also, must be sparingly intro.. &lied.' "The interest in the great civil war is too deep for the subject to be safely avoided ; bat the wounds are too fresh_and sacred to b_e_ thfclitilT3irlier rudely or too often ; and its in . eidents are too familiar, also, to bear incessant; bovveNer eloquent, recital." It,*lllseteprifip many readers to learn that .44 Literature itealtegether too much ignored by our New England lyceums," although it, has been found there, as here, that Science, when properly treated,.is "more interesting than the moat sensational themes." Thelumorous lecture which has developed eo leneh of the pecullarly'Asn ericanlaculty, re teiies its fun aeration. The chronic IMMEE!MMii=VMENIIM - grumblers at all litnnorist writers aud lecturers are thus disposed of : " People who insist on having a 'good moral' to every lecture should have no deal ings with pure Jiterature,,pure science, pure art; or pure bilmor,—which disdain to_be par rots of the pulpit or the Sunday school, be cause they have a high function of their own, which also ennobles men, but not by means of clean-cut maxims. 'As well ask a sunset or a ; rose-bush to-talk-ethics, as insist on a -Theory , in a humored; or literary lecture._ _We think that every course should have a' humorous lec ture; but, while the people always like it, it is proper to state that a certain portion of the audience (who laugh with the others during the evening), inVaria,bly speak slightingly of it afterwards. People who, cannot enjoy humor forlts own sake are not to be blamed, but they are to' be'pitied."' , " It appears from The Lyceum, that the mar ket value of professional lectures , ranges from twenty-five tO'two hundred and fifty dollars, and within these limits we have a complete list of about one hundred and twenty-five lec turers and readers,with the subject of their lec tures and the territory within which they will take engagements. When it is considered that we have given an outline of only a single department of the lec ture business of America, and that there Are hundreds of other men and women. earning their livings by the same means in nearly every section of the cotintri; it becomes very evident that the Charge that thelire4ent, genelition . de: votes its whole leisure time to merely fashion able or frivolous amusements must be made with very large_ qualifications. Very few lecturers, who , a,re merely trashy, make any successful mark, or remain long in competition with the active r cultivated intellect that has en tered this wide arena. The programme for a course of popular lectures must be as delicately graded as the tube of a barometer, and it does not require more than a season or two to 'send 'stupid, or conceited, or unsuitable lecturers to the rc'ar, and to' fill their places with men and' women who prove their fitness for their work by their power to attract audiences, and to hold 'Mem after they have attracted them. Mr. Greeley has put so much of his own in dividuality into the'Niii "York Tribune, thiit his personal biography will be written from the outlines furnished by its course and character. What the Tribune is, Mr.. Greeley is, and the future, if it should take note of him at all, will measure the man by the newspaper. This being the case, Mr. Greeley, were he a wise man, which he is not, in any high or good sense, should endeavor to be, in his editorial capacity, a truthful man, which he is not. Put ting an estimate upon the prerogatives of the Tribune to do and say what it pleases, much hieher than the.general public puts upon it, it has become Mr. Greeley's fashion toindulge,or to allow his paper to indulge,which is the same thingyin the—bid fashion of --telling--very-bad falsehoods, byway of carrying on his warfares_ against whatever', may happen not to please him.. Mr: Greeley has displayed this deepicable trait in a marked manner in all his public at _tempts to break down an enterprise which he has privately pretended to sympathize with and encourage. He has never yet made a truth ful allusion to the American Press Association, or shown other than a mean and petty spirit of - jealousy toward - it. 'Here is his - last - effusion, clipped from yesterday's Tribune: " Some of the small papers, which have the misfortune of not belonging to the Associated Press,have given us already about four pitched battles_on the lthin_e _frontier, -with_ the most terrible losses. There is something very strange about these engagements. They burst upon , the world every third or fourth morning with a tremendous explosion of large type, and nobody ever bears a word about them after wards." This statement has not a single word of truth in it, from beginning to end. It is a solid, wil ful, unmitigated 'falsehood, which could not find its way into the Tribune if Mr. Greeley did not personally consent to the uttering of solid, wilful, unmitigated. falsehood. • • We have carefully 'examined the files of foreign 'news supplied by the New 'York Asso ciated PresS and the AmOrican Press'Associa tion,and we find but' a single account of a "pitched battle on the Rhine frontier, with the most terrible losses." Here it is : " PAEIS, July 17, Noon.—There is a rumor to the effect that an engagement has taken place near Forbach, resulting in a loss to the Prussians of 3,000 killed. The French loss is placed at 2,00 Q killed. As yet this report can be traced to no trustworthy source." This single " pitched battle " in the account of which there was not a word of truth, we clip, not from the the small papers which have the misfortune of not belonging to the As sociated Press," as the Tribune so superciliously calls the papers of the American Press Associa tion, but from the double-leaded columns of the :New York Tribune! Like many another descendant of the tribe of Munchausen, Mr. Greeley forgets to make his lies harmonize with 'each other. Having started this " tre mendous explosion of large type " over a bo gus "pitched battle," he should have taken some different form of . falsehood for his.petty, jealous warfare against' the American Press As sociation. Mr. Greeley, in his old age, is rapidly losing the honorable position which he once seemed to be gaining before the American peo ple, and if he does not soon come back to the good old paths of honor and truth, his place as a journalist in the history of his times will be anything but an enviable one. DERMAN-AIDERICANS AND PRUSSIA. The New York W orld is very much alarmed because Senator Schurz and several other prominent, Republican German-Americans have been conspicuous at the meetings held by Germans to express sympathy for Prussia in the present contest. As the liroild fails to see how the Democratic party can possibly make any capital out of the business, it advises naturalized Germans to forget their natural at feetion for their native land, to be proud only of their AmeriCan citizenship, and to pour the vials of their wrath—if they must be emptied somewhere- 7 -alike upon the heads of King William and Napoleon. If this advice were entirely disinterested, it might, be received v • hontinspiCioni_and-treated-as-advice-gene-- ally is. But the Woridoffers it rather to in jure Senator Schutz. and to neutralize his in fluence with his eountrymen, , than because it believes in its_own theories. The World knows perfectly well that the enthusiasm mani fested by Germans in; this country :does not include a strong personal regard for the King of Prussia. • /t• is OP, IPA of a deep affection for the lunclof; their birth, _Which-- 'is natural' - • and prover, • and Which need not and does not in terfere 14 any_ppsible. way_ with the love, SYSTEIMAIIC MlLAntil'illA EVENI , ii•G'I3 • O - ttifi*. , ,iiut ' B - I:il i kl% . ' :Atj6 it felt by these men for - their adopted country. Many of 'The Germans who have participated in the meetings have relatives and friends in the Prussian army, and their- sympathies are given entirely to the cause in which these fight, 'and against the nation which. has forced them into • battle and threatens' to' devastate their homes and ruin the land with war. In almost - every case -the—practical—demOnstrations--have taken the form of pecuniary contributions for the benefit of the sick and wounded and •of those who are made desolate by loss of their sons and brothers. This kind of hu 'inanity would.he commendable no, matter by whom it was displayed, but it is peculiarly !proper when it is offered by citizens of this prosperous and happy land to their brethren in :their native counti' Senator Schurz has been !prominent in movements of this kind because he had common cause without German popu lation, and because he could Contribute: influ ence, eloquence and wealth to the good object. If be makes friends by the operation, that is his good fortune and he deserves it;: but to charge, as the World does, that he is influ enced entirely by selfish motives, is as unjust and untrue as to assert that the Republican party has organized a conspiracy to • win the German vote by professing enthusiasm for Prussia. The stuff sent over the Atlantic Cable by the war reporters of the Associated Press is re markable,not only for its bulk, but for, the sur prising ingenuity displayed in clothing a very few news.paragraphs in an extraordinary quan tity of verbiage. The following despatch, which appears in the monopily papers this morning, is-a fair sample of the kind of in formation for which these journals are required to pay: lirnimr, August I—The hesitation abbot the opening of hostilities, and the delay in the Imperial declaration of war, is here ascribed to the consciousness on the part of Napoleon that the.war would be long and painful, owing to the superiority of the needle gun over the Chassepot, as has already been demonstrated in the encounters between skirmishers. This charming specimen of whit Carlyle calls "jackassery" is the first result of "the five 'years' alliance of the Associated Press with the Continental Telegraph Qompany of Ber tha" announeed - with - sucli a IlourlSh liy the As sociated Press a day or two ago. It will be perceived, apart from its absurdity, that it does not profess to contain a particle of news. It appears - to be an expression of the 'private opinion of the reporter.; and it affords us addi tional cause for congratulation that we are not compelled to publish and pay for the bosh that will be sent to this country by the allied news companies.- When a certain tax collector pronounced the opinion that "Shakespeare was a clever man," Charles Lamb seized a candle and expressed an . ardent desire to examine the mental machinery of -a person who could calmly arrive at such a conclusion. It would be equally interesting to submit to a jury of scientific men the brains of a news agent who, situated in Berlin, could remain ignorant of the fact that Napoleon had already made an.." im perial declaration of war ;" who could inform the world that - the — Emperor had suddenly awarrened to consciousness of the fact that the war will probably be long and painful ; and who could attribute to the author of the war hesitation to begin hostilities . because he is - afraid of - the - needle• - gun. -- Witout . - waiting for an examination of the mental condition of this reporter, we may safely assert that half the papers which depprol, upon the Associated Press for news, and which have printed this ridiculous despatch,-would not employ such an imbecile as an errand boy. CHANOARNTER ON PILIJNSIA General Cliangarnier, who was once a brave and skilful officer of the. French army, lately offered his services again to -the imperial cause but they were refused. His anti-imperialism in past times has not been forgotten or for giVen by the Emperor. Perhaps, too, his Opinion of the Prussian 'army, which was printed a couple of years ago in the I?evue des Deux blondes, has helped to keep him in bad odor. " The great and principal force in the Prussian army (he said) has been in its officer's. No doubt a large share of honor is due to the government, in this organization patiently and carefully prepared, and the attention which was given to every improvement in the military art in a spirit of progress free from; the shackles of prejudice and routine. , Like the ancient Ro- . mans, the Prussians took what was good and left what was bad - ; but all this was only done' by means of a staff of well-instructed, laborious officers applying themselves without relaxation td a work often deetned excessive. These officers, as facts attested,- were admirably seconded by their soldiers. Under the flag al; • classes of society found theniselves repre sented, and intelligence came to the aid of dis cipline,; ,the quality was.. 3 surer .guarantee of sticeeSs - than the quantity." This was syrigefs.. in reference to the campaign of Sadowa, and it was considered a virtual condemnation of the military system 'of the French, who had not shown the same "spirit of progress" as the Prussians. For this and similar utterances, and for his past republicanism, Changarnier is allowed to remain in retirement. Jefferson Davis made a speech at Lookout Mountain one day last week, and in the, course of his remarks made the following observation: 1 "In view of the past, no man can blame me for my determination to let those who have pow,et dictate how the country shall be governed." It. ' may be regarded as a settled fact that nobody in the world finds any fault with the rebel chief for forming such a determination and acting consistently with it. But we do not perceive exactly how Mr. Jefferson Davis can claim any special credit for so judicious a resolution. For; supposing he had arrived at an opposite con clusion, and had decided not to let those who have the power dictate how the country shall be governed, what would Mr. Jefferson -Davis do-about-40-110--tried-very-hard once • arrange - that there should be no c0m1.." try to be = governed, and as the premit existence of a united zountry is due to the.d4 feat of his efforts by the parties who are'Atow ruling it,we do not regard it as either neeatfary dr deairable that he should have anything 'to; say upon the subject. We do blame hirn , for obtruding himself upon public notice as a coin *mentator upon:any department of our national . ' affairs. If he.had Made . his present record as the citizen of any, other country in the world, he would have-been , laid, years ago, in a (Hs.- BOSH. honored grave:".. As he o - Wres his life itod liberty to the clemency of the people wboni he sought, to destroy, it, would be.decent, leaa, to keep,quiet, and to refrain 'l'prn appearance in public in the character and with the` tone and air of a suffering martyr. , Governor Geary has appointed J.

Lormos, Aug. 2.—The Times, this morning, says that "in view of England's extremely critical position, and the possibility of the belligerents making terms or a secret treaty after victory, the reticence of - 31rG•Wdat - cine to divulge anything conceriaing-the attitude of the Government towards Belgium is idle and dangerous." The Times declares that the majority of the House were in favor of a precise statement upon the subject. Neutrality. Tho Times in another article of to-day says: " The neutrality laws of England are inade quate in their provisions, and almost inope rative. The Government, therefore, should ask the Parliament for power." Impatient for a Battle. The Times again, in referring to the melan choly natural public impatience for news of a battle, sayti : "The delay in the active opera tions by the opposing armies has clearly shown that the preparations of the belligerents for the campaign were far from complete when they commenced hostilities." Position of England-.. Her Defences. The Times also publishes letters expressing alarm at the condition of England's defences, which are represented as being in a deplora. Tile state of unpreparedness. The correspondent alse - declares the inade quacy of England's cavalry and artillery to take the field to compete with anflormidable enemy. The writer further complains of the imper feet condition of the army transports for the conveyance of troops, and says that only 25,- 000 men are available in the whole United Kingdom to garrison the entire defences of England and afford protection to the coast.

The Tri&tine eats The horrible murder of Mr. Benjamin Na than in his own house, on Thursday night last, continues to be the chief topic of conver sation in this city. The bloody record of Sat urday night but gives to the discussion of the. great crime additional_interest. • _Thus_far the tiolice have unable - to obtain a clue to the murderer, and have been obliged to con tent themselves with building up theories of the crime and the circumstances attending its commission, only , to find them all destroyed as soon as an investigation _is commenced. Su perintendent Jonrdan said bat evening that no person was arrested on suspicion of com mitting the murder • and other members of the police force said that they did not know that any one was specially suspected, although a number are carefully watched by the authori ties, and every movement made by them.is re corde-d.- At the house wherein the crime was com mitted, policemen are continued on guard, and only those who have business-with the family are permitted to enter. Great numbers of people, including many women, young and have—sought—Tio-gai a -admission -to=the second floor, that they might inspect the room hi which Mr. _Nathan_ was _murdered, but '--in every instance a refusaTis given either by a policeman on duty or a relative of the dead man. An examination of the hooks is said to have shown that 460.000 were placed in the safe on Thursday, which sum could not be found on Friday. Robbery, it is therefore inferred, was the primary object of the assassin ; and it is generally believed but that Mr. Nathan detec ted the thief, the latter would not now be a murderer endeavorin'g to hide himself from all the world. The watch and diamond studs have nowhere been discovered, although a strict watch is kept in the jewelers' stores and pawnshops. Now, the police have little hope that these articles sure, to lead to the identity of the murderer, will be offered for sale. The Funeral. The funeral of the late Benjamin Nathan took place yesterday forenoon from the family residence, No. 12 West Twenty-third street. The services were announced to begin at 10 o'clock, and previous to that hour the lower part of the house was densely crowded by the friends of the deceased. The street in front of the house and for a considerable distance each way was filled by a great crowd of people, numbering over 10.000, and consisting largely of women. The greater part of those within the house, and at least one-third of those out side were Israelites. The crowd was very much agitated, though not at all turbulent. The arrangements of the police for keeping a space cleared, for convenience of access to the house and the formation of the funeral procession, failed to secure the= desired results. The coffin was a plain one, without orna ments or plate, simplicity in such matters, as well as in funeral ceremonies, being accord ing to the custom of the Hebrewa. \At seven in the morning the family had taken their last look and farewell, and the body was then placed in the coffin, which rested in the front parlor. The coffin was covered with rich black velvet draping. At the head and foot were silver candelabras, with lighted wax candles, and a profusion of flowers placed around. The immense• mirrors, cornices, and other ornaments of the parlors, were Audi ously concealed from view. Two large paint ings of scenes in Bible histoiy were upon the walls, one of them representing the Patriarch Jacob looking with horror upon the bloody garment of his favorite son, Joseph. The funeral arrangements were under the charge of Levi Isaacs, Sexton of Shearith Israel Cemetery. The pall-bearers were Emanuel B. Hart, Joseph Fatman, Samuel A. Lewis. Lewis May, Harris Aronson, S. Som erich, John M. Lawrence, Henry Guitermann, Solomon L. Cohen, Isaac Hermann and Jonas Heller. These gentlemen are all directors of the Mount Sinai Hospital, of which Mr. Na than was President, and were accompanied by Gabriel Schwartzbaum, Superintendent of the Hospital, and Drs. Ernest Schilling, A. Ja cobi, Samuel R. Percy, Chas. A. Budd, Ernst Krackowitzer, .Benj. L. Raphael, Hermann Gulcke and S. Teller, of the medical staff. The immediate mourners consisted of Frederick, Washington, Julian, and Harmon H. Nathan, the sons of the murdered man ; Mendez and Robert, his brothers; Lucien Moss and Mendez Cohen . his sons-in-law, and Gratz Nathan, his nephew.i Beside the above wore representatives of nearly all the leading Jewish families in the city, many of whom were relatives of Mr.. Nathan. Scarcely a Hebrew member of the Stook Exchange Beard ,wasi absent, and many'members of Christian faith were also there, for the kindly nature of Mr. Nathan created for him a general respect, -which was increased to a deep sympathy by the terrible Murder. . The,"Rev., Jr J. Lyons, of the Shearith Israel Synagogue, brother-in-law of the de ceased, performed the funeral services. After a short prayer, he made the following ad deess : A mournful spectacle is this we have to contemplate. , A, tyrant, murdered under similar ciroulnatances,,Woulde xcite grief and pity, and•how, tench more does the case.struck down, by ,tbe „band ~of au assassin ; ti blow.

He was descended from one of tlin oldest Portuguese families which were: driven Wilds country by the inquisition. lie was brought up in the oldest synagogue in this city, and he was noted for hie zeal and fidelity for it. He pronounced a high eulogy upon the benevolence and character of the deceased, and closed with the following words: "Death has come in the shape of -a • thief at night, without warning. The blow of the assassin could only reach his body, not his soul. The Lord has given, the Lord has' taken away; blessed be tbe name of the Lord." The remains were then conveyed to the hearse, and the procession formed. Sixty car riages were provided.. No ladies followed the hearse. The officers of Mount Sinai Hos pital, and the officers and children of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, preceded the hearse. the members of the Stock Exchange fol lowed alongside on foot. The procession took the following route: Through Twenty-third ' street to Sixth avenue; down Sixth avenue to Nineteenth street; through Nineteenth street to Fifth avenue, passing the Synagogue, where the procession stopped about two minutes, ac cording • - to custom; down Fifth avenue to Tenth street thence 'to Avenue A, when one portion of the carriages crossed the - ferry, and the remainder pro ceededto Houston street ferry. Theyjoined on tle other side, and proceeded to the. Jewish cemetery, called -Sehearith-Ifirael, which is known as the Portuguese Cemetery, and ad joins Cypress Hill. The remains were here deposited, in the simplest manner, within the same enclosure in which rest three of the children and the father of the deceased. -Re turning to the small,and plain wooden chapel, or " House of Prayer," a re4ulem in Hebrew was chanted, ancfthis closed the funeral cere monies.

SAcnifinlivo, August 2.—The sensation story which the Associated Press are tele graphing about the discovery of an attempt to steal their despatches is ridiculed here. The facts are that,. on . Friday. evening last, the Atlantic and Pacific line went down east of Omaha, and one of the Atlantic and Pa cific operators,F. C. Van Valkenberg, went across the stret on a balcony on the street, and adjoining the Western Union Office, to see if the Western Union line was working, and was, fired at by a Western Union opera tor, when a crowd collected and charges were made of assault with the intent to murder, and also a charge of attempting to steal des patches. An hour afterwards the A. &T. lines com menced working, and the American Press As sociation's despatches came through, and were published as usual. Notwithstanding this the agents of the As sociated Press saw that " the mode in which the American Press Association obtained its despatches had been discovered, and the leak stopped." Mr. Van Valkenberg is an operator for, and not to be confounded with Superintendent '. Valkenberg, whom the Associated Press appears to have charged with an attempt to steal their despatches. Van Valkenberg will commence a libel suit against the papers that made the charge un less they apologize. Since the American Press Association com menced to, send despatches for the papers set wed by them, they have been first to publish every important item of - news, and, the old concern has been at its wit's end, finding terrible inroads made into its business, and trumping up all kinds of stories. It is known that the Associated Press pa pers were in the habit of stealing the news of the American Press Association, and on Fri day last a decoy' trap despatch was fixed, and on Saturday morning the Associated Press papers contained the announcement that lBocker, the British Consul at San Francisco, had been divorced from his wife, and that President Grant had written a letter to Gene ral Dent stating his intention of coming to California. Bocker is a bachelor, and veryin dignant. . . President Grant, so far as known, has not the slightest intention of coming here, and the Associated Press papers,which advertised ex tensive preparations for his reception, have been badly fooled. The American Press As- . sociation papers hero have been suspecting that the. Associated Press papers have been stealing their reports, and will lay other traps unless this serves as a warning. Strike of Printers. SAN FRANCISCO, August 2.—The printers all over the State, this morning, demanded an in crease to 75 cents, the' old rate, or would im mediately strike.

A resolu tion was offered to forward to New York and to Prussia all such persons as-were - -found-to possess the proper papers. Some confusion was caused by the inquiry, How these/ soldiers came to be here? Much disinclination exists on the part of a large portion of the Germans to appropriate mo neys for other than benevolent purposes,but a resolution was sustained declaring unpatriotic such as shall not at once procure subscriptions in accordance with their appointment to that duty.

ILLINOIS. A Fish Pestilence. CANTON August 2.—A terrible pestilence among the fish is spreading into all the rivers in this city, and for a long distance the river banks are covered with thousands of dead fish decaying in the sun, and the stream itself is full of them. The river men think this mor tality is caused by the burning of 3,000 barrels of whisky on the river during the great fire at Peoria, which destroyed the oxygen so that the fish could not live. The stsneh is so great that families 'living on the line of the river are compelled tOrnOVe away. It is feared that severe sickness will follow. The deceased fish, too, are too numerous to o bury, and the only thing,to be done is to use disinfectants.
