Nearly eight months have elapsed since the
City of Boston sailed on her fatal voyage, and
to-day we have the first ray of light upon the'
tragedy that swept.steamer and, cre w andpas
sengers into destruction. . . i.
On Sunday last, a bottle drifted on shore at
Long Beach, near Atlantic City, .containing
' the only,message that will probably ever reach
,»is from fhe ill-fated vessel. It is a very brief
message, and is ‘without date or signature:
"Steamer City of Boston among the ice
bergs and going down—all kernels. Long. Si.
IK”
< It is impossible, of course, to verify the gen
uineness of this paper.; For the fact of its be
ing fouhd, as described, on Long Beach, our
correspondent is abundantly responsible. He
is a well-known physician of this city of the
---highest character, and vouches for the precise
accuracy of the facts. There are wretches in
the world, brutal enough to concoct an affair
like this, and our readers must judge for them
selves between the possibility .Of this being
the work of some such heartless miscre
ant and the probabilities that
the City of Boston ioas lost in the ice, and
that, in the .wild excitement of the terrible'ca
tastrophe, some one of the unhappy victims
may have scrawled these -words without-date
or signature, and committed them to the
waves. We give the facts just as they reach
i:s,.and leave them to the public for whatever
they may be worth. If they have been in
vented as a practical joke their, perpetrator is
scarcely fit to. live. If this hurried, scrawl is
really a' message from the sinking steamer it Is
'of the highest value, as settling the time and
manner of her loss.
iSOTHER BAD HEAT.
■The important news of the bombardment,
and unconditional, surrender,of Toul, reached
this country last night, and was published ex
clusively in the papers pf the American Press
Association, this morning. Toul is a strongly
fortified town, twelve miles west of Nancy,
and a most important position in its relation to
the line-of supplies to the German armies. It_
has made a stout resistance for more than a
month past, and has only capitulated after a
terrible bombardment. The Associated Press
papers will probably receive tidings of this im
portant event to-day, hut they are badly beaten
by their young rival, as they nearly always are,
when there is any news of real consequence.
While heavy fighting is going on around
Paris, the prospects of peace seem to be grow
ing brighter; and we now have some reason to
hope for an early conclusion of the war. M.
Favre has gone to. the Prussian headquarters,
and we have a decided intimation from Bis
marck, with sundry hints from other quarters,
that Prussia will treat with the Provisional
government under certain conditions. Prus-.
sia, it appears, will not consent to an armistice,
hut will continue hostilities until its terms are
accepted by France. Then, report asserts,' the
Prussians will discontinue offensive operations,
but will remain upon French territoryrin what
. portions of it we do not know, until a legisla
ture can be elected with power to ratify the
treaty made by the Favre government.
Whether Prussia’s terms will include cession
of-territory by Erance:we cannot tell, but it is
to be hoped that they will be of such a kind
that Favre can accept them with some hope of
their ratification by the coming Assembly.
The presence of the enemy upon French soil
will have the character of a constant menace,
and any favorable action of the Assembly may
he regarded as compulsory ; but the Prussians
have the upperhaud, and if France desires
peace and the privilege of organizing popular
government; she will do well to be satisfied
with and to accept the Prussian offer even if
its conditions are harsh and offensive. Frauen
needs peace now before any other thing, and
if her representatives are wise they will secure
it at any endurable sacrifice..
The slight demonstrations of the Red Re
publicans in Paris have not as much signifi
■ cance as that which attached to the movements
and utterances of the Copperhead faction in
this country during our civil war. There will
always be a party, in every crisis, no matter
—where-it-is-presented;-that will- oppose-itself- to
law and order, to the efforts of patriotic men,
and to the best interests of the country. The
cause of the French republic will be injured
no more by the violence of such a crazy fool
as Cluseret than our cause was hurt by the
scurrility and treason of Yallandigham or
the ravings of C. Chauncey Burr, of New Jer
sey. It is apparent that the large majority of
the lower classes in Paris are working earn
estly with the government for the defence of
the city, under Rochefort, who is behaving
better than demagogues usually do. When
the danger is passed, the opposition to the new
, government may be formidable and threaten
ing ; at present we do not fear that Cluseret
and his fellow fanatics will excite any portion
of the population to outlawry and riot.
It is to be regretted that President Grant
should have taken the trouble to contradict
Dana’s slanderous charge that Tie had allowed
Mr. Gould or Fisk to pay his subscription to
the Rawlins fund, or that he was under any
pecuniary obligation to those persons. It
was below the dignity of the President to
notice such a slander' emanating from
such a source. Nobody believed it for a
moment, and its denial will, only incite its
author to the concoction of some fresh libel,
to be added to the long catalogue that records
the spleen of the embittered and disappointed
office-hunter.
There is but one preper way to deal with
such slanders, whether they are prompted by a
thirst for revenge or a hunger for black-mail.
Absolute, contemptuous silence is the severest'
punishment.. that. caii be inflicted on their
authors, upon whom the defamation of good
men s characters inevitably recoils, sooner or
later, with terrible retribution.
The action of Napoleon in ’revoking the de
cree which regency of France
upon the Empress may be useful if it removes
from King William’s mind a technical objec
tion to recogmtion of the Provisional govern
ment; otherwise it is as absurdly useless as trie
formal abdication of the throne, of Spain in
favor of the Prince of Asturias, arranged by
Isabella after she bad fled to Paris.
a PHILADELPHIA iWDDHESPAV, SEPTEMBER M; TB7O.
Tiie New York. .TH6«ne Bhricks .frantically
to iti “friends in Pennsylvania” to "save their
Second District,” and its plan for .accomplishing
. thisHdesirableobject is to throw overboard both.
Messrs! O’Neiil and Creeiy, and to nominate:
as Qie Republican candidate either Mr. flemy;
Carey or E. Joy Morris. The IVitrune has not
been so successful in : arranging Republican
triumphs in its own districts, that it can fairly
claim the pfivilege of'meddling; with-ouT:poli
tics. The Republicans of this city, and of the
Second District particularly, are entirely com
petent to manage their own affairs,_and to win
success without the advice or assistance of the
Tribune. If that journal will mind its own
business vigorously, perhaps it may help the
Republicans of New York to triumph in the
coming contest in that State. Its absurd fail
ures in this respect in the past entitle its coun
sels to ridicule from Bepublicans in other
States, who always manage to elect their
candidates without assistance from New York.

FROM NEW YORK.
[By the American Press Association.)
Ttae New York Democratic convention.
Rochester, Sept. 21 —This city is full of
strangers ; all the hotels are crowded bo much
that many are sleeping on cots in the parlors,
and halls. The delegates to the Democratic
Convention are all here.
The eight o’clock special train from New
York, dill not arrive until six o’clock this
morning. The members were received at the
depot by a large delegation, headed by a band
of music, and were then marched through the
citv. ' '
Many of the old Sachems of the Democratic
party arrived m the city yesterday, and last
evening were earnestly discussing the pro
gramme of proceedings for the Convention to
day. Some* of the leaders, however, of the
Tammany party came on the late train of the
Erie Railway last night. There were fifteen
hundred aboard, including delegates and out
siders.
Tammany sends a largo delegation of the
rank and file to operate on the Convention, if
it becomes necessary, in the furtherance of the
interests of the ancient Sachem.
The young Democracy of New York were
on hand at an early hour yesterday, and in
strong force. They found,'on their arrival,
that Tammany had engaged all the rooms at
the Osborne, and at some of the other hotels,
and the leaders of the Young Democracy
therefore took rooms at the Clinton Hotel,
and made that their headquarters. Resides,a
full delegation, about hall of the alternates
are present.
The Tammany men appear to ignore their
branch of the Democracy, and were busy last
evening representing to the delegates from
the interior ot the State that tlieir opponents
were of no account. .
Tammany is a name of fearful import with
the Democrats from the rural districts,and they
hesitate to array themselves against it. On
the contrary, the other wings of the party in
sist that they have strength and votes, and
that the days of the rule of Tammany are
numbered.
The old Tammany Sachems will insist, if
they think they can carry the country with
them on ruling out the young Democracy, aud
the Convention will be called to put its heel
on those who ignore the ancient and iron
rule. If not strong enough for this, they “ may
make a virtue of necessity,” aud consent that
the delegates of the young Democracy have
seats in the Convention.
The general feeling among the delegates
last night was that the present State officers,
from Governor Hoffman down, should be re
nominated. There,isa strong opposition,how
ever, to some of the candidates, am} it is pos
sible that the programme may not he carried
out unhesitatingly, as the loaders willed. The
rnsh of outsiders, notable men who would be
leaders in county and district politics, is un
usually large. • : ■
The convention assembles at Corinthian
- Hall, at 12 o’clock.- -TheHon. Win. ..Tweed in.'
formed your correspondent that the present
ticket would be renominated unanimously.
The young Democracy are not to be admitted
as delegates, hut the convention will accept

is entirely reliable. Neither he nor the
editor of the Evening Bulletin is able to
verify the authenticity of the document-re

probable:
“Long Beach, N. J., Sept. 19, 1870.— My

A STEAMER IN A C3AJLE.
Tlie Lute Storm atSea—A Hhaky Time on
Board an Ocean Steamer.
The City of Brussels had a pretty rough
time of it during her voyage from Liverpool
to this port. She encountered very boisterous
weather.while in the Channel, and fell in with
a gale that tested her Btrength —severely
sb ortlv after she had left Queenstown. From
the 13th to the loth insts. there were heavy
head seas, and on the 18th, about midnight,
the barometer began to fallrapidly and soon
afterwards a terrific gale came up, during
which all sail had to be taken in. It grew to
a perfect hurricane tlie following Sunday,
when the sea'hroke over the vessel as though
she had been the merest ship, at one time it
ran so high that the passengers began ts show
signs of a panic, but the officers quieted their
fears by pretending that there was no danger
whatever. During the gale the steamer ship
ped a great deal of water, the waves
dashing into the cabins and breaking several
articles of furniture to pieces. Several barrels
containing empty bottles, which had been
stored upon deck, were also driven into tho
cabins, creating the utmost consternation
among the passengers and “ raising Cain” gen
erally with the furniture. The wind mean,
while blew so fiercely that fears were enter,
tained that the shrouds would be blown away.
The steamer, however, sustained no serious
damage and arrived safely at this port last
Monday.— Herald. .
