On the first of August the new regulations of the; Postmaster General .will all go into effect in this City. -As .we understand them, the business of carrying local letters will be placed’exclusively Under-the control of the letter-carriera attached to the Post Office, and the,charge for this service will be the same as that which, was made by Blood’s Dispatch, viz.: one cent,. prepaid, whether these local letters'. *re. deposited ,at the Post Office or in any of the iron letter-pillars throughout the city. Tor carrying any letters intended for transmission to other towns or cities through tha mails; flora the letter-pillars to the Post Offlce, a charge of one'cent will also ini made, and it must be prepaid by a cent postage stamp in addition to the' usual threc cent stamp. The charge of carriers for de livering betters received, at the Post Office from any other town or.city at the residences or places of business of those to; whom they fire addressed, will be one cent, instead of the old charge of two cants, which existed previous to the first of July.' , These changes havo evoked considerable discussion, and all, except the latter, have been decidedly unpopular. Wo think there can be no, doubt of the right of the National Government to assume the exclusive right of carrying letters through the streets of popu lous cities, where.it should be profitable ii the business is properly managed, when the duty js imposed upon it of establishing post-routes through sparsely Bottled districts, which are necessarily unprofitable. ' Our'citizens have a right, however, to expect' that frequent deli- coirespondence, and' that the in undertaking abuslneia which haibeen hereto fore left under the gdidgnee of private enter prise, will neither neglect ( it, nor fail to be as accommodating And energetic as the carriers of Blo&’s dispatch. It is to the interest of the ‘Government, os well as of tho public, that UcUvorios, should be as frequent as possible, for ..promptness is the very life', of the local totter system. Tho charge of, one cent for carrying letters 'addressed to distant post offices from- the let ter-pillars to our centra! office, Is a retrograde, etep, and therefore to be regretted. Bat still tho tax is not an onerous one, and we do not Suppose that many will be so tenacious of their cents as to make .any very serious objection t" *1- - 1 ■ The Removal of John Campbell. The last exhibition of the proscriptive spi rit .of the satraps of the Federal Administra tion in this city is the meanest and worst. Joh* Campbiu,, one of. the most active and energetic! working Democrats of Philadelphia in All their modern campaigns, has been noti fied by Collector Baker that he most vacate the book-stand he has occupied during the last four or five years at the northeast comer of the Cnstom-hoßse lot. Hr. Oahpbeu’s Original Presidential preferences were strongly in lavovpfHon.B. A. 'Wise, but since the no mination of Bwephen A.Dodolxs he has given him an active and energetic snpport. This hoinona offence could not be brooked by the imperious'spirit of onr Crietom House poten tate, who, looking' down' with haughty gran dear upon the dominions over which he so ignorantly and inefficiently rules; and feel ing that, like Robinson Crusoe, he was « mo narch of all Ke surveyed,” could not suffer the precincts of his marble mansion to be polluted by the presence of even one homble Democrat ofthe true national stamp. When a future historian shall descant upon : the glori ous- deeds of the Buchanan Administration, wo trust such incldents as this will not be for gotten, so that when they are told in all the naked meanness of their miserable malignity, to aoming generations, posterity may. gaze back with envy lipoathls era, and exclaim' of those Who, “ dressed in a tittle brief authority,”' now delight '.

The Folios Electoral Ticket. Every true Deihocretdesirei, of conreo, that (he men and msuures of htt party should be sustained; by of toe people, and is therefore willing to do anything in reason fa produce this result. But there are some things that no true Democrat will do, because ho cannot even think of them with any degree of patience, or attempt 'thorn without dis honor. < . One of these things is the .novel and start ling proposition to pack np the whole Demo cratic vote of the Keystone State, like a bundle of dry goods, to be handed over after the election, not as the people of the State .have directed, bat as the people or the. poli ticians of other States may happen to 'render neceßsary for a-certain purpose. Now, there are at least three - good reasons why no good Democrat can ever consent to this. In the first place, the candidates named In this com promise dp not represent the same principles, and. ppimot.therefore, both be democrats. .. .representative of « in. the local affairs while Bkeck- is Ss'Cieariy pledged to “ active Inter vention hi' the part of evory branch of the General Goveramont’* ' for the protection of slave .patalde of the slave 1 States. DonoLAS belieVeti; .that that which is property by. the.ctmmph eoStnt of the whole inaiiott requires ndotherprotection in the Territories than that which the. people there will cheer fully accord to it, and that that which is pro perty solely in virtue of local laws Will be pro tected by them' as soon as they desire it, but should neither be established in opposition to iheddfi iff- those who are adverse to it, nor withhoM jhom those .who are willing to adopt it, while BaEaKisaiDaE is, solemnly pledged to; sf creed , that deprives the people of the Territories of the right of self-govern ment on a most important point—that would compel the representatives of the whole nation to recognize and protect as property that which is only property in certain portions of the country, and by force, of certain local laws,.which laws are repudiated by the local legislation of other ,portions of the,country equally respectable,, and equally entitled to national recognition and support. Candidates thus representing adverse prin ciples cannot be run together without gross inconsistency. In the second, placo, only one of these can didates, can be the “regular nominee” of the party, even if the platforms were the same. There cannot be two regular Democratic Con ventions, nor two regular Democratic nomina tions—one or the other mutt be irregular and spurious. The regular National Convention, representing all the. States, met certainly at Charleston, and as regularly adjourned to Bal timore, while there was no regular Convention either called at Richmond or adjourned from Richmond to Baltimore. . , The Convention, which was regularly called, at Charleston, did not adjourn sine die until it had formed a platform and nominated candi dates. That platform is the one we. had in 1856 at Cincinnati; and the candidate running on that platform is Stephen A. Douglas —a vory consistent friend of it; Those who did this' did not “ secede,” because majorities never do secede —they vote their way through. If, then, the old plan of submitting when outvoted is wrong—if the modern idea of se ceding when you happen Jo be in the minority Is improper and destructive of all order, then the assembly .which nominated Mr. Bbeckin bidqe was irregular, and be is not the regular nominee of the party. Now, all true Democrats believe in “ regular nominations,” when made by “regular Conventions,” or “regular Demo cratic platforms,” and they frown indignantly on all irregular movements, as subversive of all order and organization, from that of the township up to that of the nation. They will hot—cannot, therefore, with any consistency, consent to this arrangement. Again, the State Committee haveno.right to propose, nor have the electors any agree, to such a proposition. Custom has de fined and fixed their several duties. They are appointed to carry out the wishes of the State and National Conventions. The former body is bound by party rule to pledge the latter to vote for the nominees of the National Convention, who, in its turn, is, by the same rule, bound to obey or to resign.. to defeat the will of their misters. They - are told by the National Convention, “ Hore is the creed of tho party for this cam paign; It is the same on which ,wo triumphed in 1856, and has been deliberately reaffirmed. Here is the candidate of the party, the faithful advocate of,our party creed. Fat now in motion tho machinery tSti will give to them both the party vote.”, ■ •. The committee and electors reply: “Wo hear yon; but' we choose not to obey; we ohoose that a man who denies the party creed and opposes the party candidates shall havo an opportunity of defeating both; oftnrnlng the whole vote of this State in favor oi the creed and the men that have been repudiated by It in solemn conclave, even though that re pudiation may be ratified by every Democrat In the .Commonwealth. Wo hear you; but we cbQose that a seceding minority shall have as goad a chance of carrying the State or nation as the regular majority can by any possibility havethat those who depart from the party creed are as good Democrats as those who adhero to it; that ho who can master but eighty seceding votes la a Con vention not called or adjourned to Baltimore is as much entitled to ran on the Democratic ticket as he who has received one hundred and eighty regular votes in a regular National Convention. ‘‘ln short, the State and National Conven tion may do as they please—w* will do as we please. We will hold the vote of the State in onr hands, and watching the other States with one eye, and onr own private interests with the other, we will throw her vote, not as those who elected ns wish, but as circumstances may require. Who bids 1 and how much ? We are pledged to no one—the highest bidder shail'be the buyer!” The‘plan deserves nothing but contempt. It is a cheat from beginning to end. No Demo crat who believes in “ principle” and in the binding obligations of “regular nominations” will touch it. There will be but one Demo cratic creed and one Democratic candidate in the field In the coming campaign. Those wbo oppose them may call themselves Democrats, and ring the changes, on this good eld much perverted name; but how any ono can claim the name, while he spits upon the platform which he gloried in and triumphed on in 1850; who prefers as a candidate the man who open ly denies the Democratic creed, secedes from tho Democratic, nomination, and throws his whole force against them both, is a matter which is entirely beyond our comprehension. There is a party now in existence ior al most every variety of voters in tho land; and ho must be a captious political epicure whoßO appetite cannot be satisfied. Whether it is because there are so many creeds and combi nations, it is certain that no canvass was ever conducted in better temper. Tho good humor is, if anything, a little too porvadingly quiet. We would rather see the fight a.little fiercer, to relieve the genofal dulness, The danco of the candidates Is moro like a stately cotillion than otherwise. They move up and down, cross over, take'bands, and follow after each other, with a courtesy, that, however admirable, is a little. constrained. There'is but one flag on Market street; few or no election meetings in tho Squares; and oven the brass bands get tired with blowihg and hoarse with braying before the small . horns. Tho voters aro’ so unsettled by tho number of aspirants for their suffrages,, and the pleni tude of pledgog, that > they stand amazed, and, instead of noise and confusion as hereto fore, take shelter under an indtfierenco which may or may not be real. It is possible that as cool weather approaches, the entertainments may take a change; the cotillion give way to the Lancers; the slow polka to the giddy waifz, and the formal fashionable minuett. to a regular break-down.

Letter Atom “ Occ&biob*!*” [Gorraspoadeaoabf The Press.] The pollticsl eompllostioni of the day* chuffing almost every hoar, and baffling the shrewdest cal culations, greatly disturb ihe.equanimlty of those who do not like to take the responsibility of speak> ing and acting for themselves. It is too true that many, even of the most intelligent citiiens, would rather take the opinion of another, and follow it: boldly, than strike,oat a new path for themselves, or aot upon their own -judgment? in the reigning confusion of parties, however, mere leadenlose their hold upon their heretofore obedient echoes, unless they are able to make their advice elear and sen* Bible. *ln faot, the Amerloan people are now com* polled to aot and speak for themselves. The loosen ing of party ties is a great Introduction and pro vocation to independent conduct./ ‘{irregular no mination is no longer snored unless it ,is based upon and bound, by a principle. Therefore, good most come out of tbls’Babel of contend* ing factions. The candidate./that has n<jt a rat. ttonal plafform tender hU-gfaet—tho party that has not a reasonably honest record to refer torr must break, and will deserve to break. Ho class of politicians are more hampered, and harassed in this mist and mixture ofideas and intriguu than . the advocates of Breckinridge. They are utterly Indefensible. Most of them in office, their offices have become so many pillories in whtoh they are compelled to feel jibes tboy cannot retaliate, and to hear arguments they cannot answer- CWMA it not be abominating evldenoe of tbe or. tho infatuation, or the cupidity of our people, If any respectable’ vote Should be thrown for this party ? If,Mr. Buohanan is to be the last of thi “Old- School Presidents, n his mouthpiece, the Constitu ft'o»,blds fair to be the last of Presidential organs. The Breokioridgors do sot like either tbe British editor of tho paper, nor the burdens they an called on to carry, and the associates they are compelled to reoognise; and great is thloutoiy of the editor, and bitter the lamentations of the frlonds of the aged sage in thei White House. Tho organ is exp eo ted to roll out the most mellifluous falsehoods, for nothing. > The clerks in the Departments, dosed with Adminis tration papers of high and low degree, and de voured to death by Administration beggars, begin : to revolt audibly at the new effort to make them take (few read) the Constitution, There never was a set of conspirators so afraid of each ether as these same Bisunlonists. The ancient Buck hates and suspects the juvenile Breok—Tohmbs suspects Cobh —Wise suspects Hunter—Bur nett suspects Guthrie—and the Southern chi valry distrust the new brood of Yankees, who, to obtain some of the iast-porlshing bounty of this fast-perlsbing Administration, offer to perform the most menial duties for the fire-eaters. Of course, the Constitution is generally suspeoted, and the travail of its engineer is aooordlngly indescriba ble. This engineer or editor, Mr. Brown-r, 1b a good eort of English flunkey—a very kind-hearted snob; and it is a pity that he should have been sent here to be victim ized by the aroh managers of the plot to' break up the Democratic party and the country.' But that be is to be the last of the school of Administration organs seems to be oloar to all eyes. He roves up and down the Avenue like the last (and the lost) man. He grumbles in sepulchral tones like the last man; and his editorials have a funereal look, and when read a dismal groan-like sound, as if they were anticipatory sermons over the Secession party, which will soon be a corpse. You bave often read in the bocks bow conspirators engaged in some daring, and by no means pious enterprise, glanced on eaoh other in their cabals. So lamto d it is with the disunion leaders, who are headed by suoh a leader &k James Buohanan. and championed by such an organ as the Washington Constitution. They do not know, and are greatly in trsuble, as to which of the Set is to betray the rest,and whioh is to suffer soonest at the bar of publio opinion. 2he faot that they are to be betrayed and then broken, seems to be all that they appreciate; but the hour when the axe is to fall being very uncertain, they aro made vory nervous inoonsoquonoe. Since the decease of my lamented and kind* hearted friend, Mr. Jenks, the person of Mr. Bu ohanan has been left in the precious guardianship of Mr. W. Fllnn, Navy Agent bore. He is singu larly suited for this post. Requiring UDSoropotoos' devotion U the interests of the Presidential.pa- tron, and complete self-abnegation, no one sowell adapted to its mean aod manifold dalles eoold Jiave, been found. He colleote all the gossip of tho hotels and streets, and retails, it to the anoient publio functionary with due fidelity and gefiulno genuflexion. No whispered complainf against the majesty but what [is duly reported at headquarters. No manly deolaraUon of opinion on the part of any official* high or low, but wbat is copied and oommnnioated. The ears of Flinn, if not long, are keen; bis eye, If not an evil eye, is a sharp one: and.***-—^frmar-H aot the most de -arleast most industriously, attendod to.. He is the ‘ sole Buohanan representative on the Breckinridge National Commit tee; and It is truly wonderful to see bow carefully he watches over the fair fame of his employer. l The Breokin rldgors look upon him with nndissembled suspi cion ; bat as hs'professes to speak by authority, those who hold plaoe under tho Administration, or who hope for it, however they may despise, dare not rebel against his proceedings. Let the name of any man be mentioned for any position who does not happen to bo of the select, or who has the audacity to take 'a Hebe), as a Republican, by the hand, and H is In stantly tabooed by this faithful Flinn. Tfea rcßolntlon to print half a million of ooples of the President's midnight speech in favor of the Disu nion candidates, came from, and was hectored through the Breekinridge Committee by him; and for this feat he was dnly and affectionately thask ed at he&dqnarters. If any of yonr] people went to get a sight at J. B. before he goes out of eight, give letters to Flinn, duly recognizing his relation to the throne, and the ponderous doors of the White House will swing back on their veil oiled hinges, or the sealed ’ gates of Soldier’s Home, open Instantly In wide welcome. Mr. Flinn is not so popular in Washington as he might be. whioh is a strong claim upon the President’s favor as showing that tho pooplo who aro ungra cious enough to aot so irreverently to the head of the nation aannot be expected to be very warm to tho wretehed instruments whioh exeested the' plans eoneelvsd in that head. : The proceedings of the Dongles Convention in yonr State read well. There Is a defiant air about them that makes tho ofiiolil blood inn cold. They smaok of rank rebellion. They are outrageously candid. The Broekinridgors rclaotsntly con cede that the Donglas faction is growing to bo uncomfortably large. They laughed at the little oloud on the horlson in 1857-58, and called it a mere speck, got up by Forney to frighten the marines, hat now that they Bee the whole sky covered with the blackness of wrath, and vooal the thunder and lightning of tho poople’s anger, they turn their pale flues upon eaoh other, and ask “ when tho storm will subside f” Moro than one are busy In explanation of their past course, and eagor la de. preeation of ail divisions in the psrty.

Yahoey.—The Montgomery Advertiser publishes a letter from Mr. Yancey throe columns long. In tho conclu sion he thus explains his Slaughter letter: “The seventh allegation Is that I wrote the Slaughter letter. I did write ft. It was private —not designed for publication, and therefore Its expressions are loose, and not as well weighed as I would have desired. Still, thero is not an idea in it that I do not now entortaln. “ Bat tho letter does not urge dtsanton—does net advocate dlsrnption, either of the Demooracy or ofthe Union. Mr. Slaughter bad written to me urging me to abandon tho DemOoraoy, as the groat obstaelo to Southern union.' I replied, refusing to go into his soheme.

And for what purpose ? The Douglas papers and orators, following the idoa flvon by Mr. Douglas himself, answer and say that proclaimed my purpose in that letter to be 1 to precipitate the cotton States Into a revolution.'

It is now ascertained that the purohase of this Point has just been decided upon by the. Administration un der the opinion of the Attorney General, for $200,• 000! Broderick proved that It was no} worth' $20,000. A good deal of this money will probably go to help out the Breokinrldge fund.

When Mr. Bbopbrick last left the Atlantic States for Cali fornia he made an assignment of his pay to two of his frlonds, distinguished gentlemen in New York, whioh, after bis death, was approved by his administrators. The Sooretary of the Se nate, Mr. Diokins, declined paying it owing to the notion of the Judiciary Committee of tho Se nate, and the Senate, by an almost unanimous vote, just before the last adjournment, directed him to pay It, by a mandatory resolution. There being a secret opposition to his paying if, he referred the oase to the Attorney General, who deoided that he could not pay it—and so the treble authority directing Its payment goes for nothing. [DESPATCHES TO THE ASSOCIATED TRESS.] Washington, July 29.—Mr. Pombo, the Grana dian Charge d’Affaires ad interim, arrived here yesterday and brought with him a stoond copy of the Cass-HerrAn treaty, with the ratification of bis Government, the first one having in May last been lost overboard from a sailing vessel, in whioh he was proceeding from Oarthagana to Aspinwall. Although Mr. Pombo is authorized to exchange tho ratifications of the treaty, yot ho deolines exer cising the power, as this would be of no present utility, because tbo United States Commissioner cannot be appointed until Congress shall make the necessary provisions; nor has New Granada yet appointed a Commissioner on her part. It appears that Bhe is desirous of having this matter disposed of, as others of an interesting character are to he disoussed with our Government. In his interview with the aoting Sooretary of State, Mr. Trescott, Mr. Pombo, by instruction from his Government, complimented our own for the very happy selection in the person of General Jones as Minuter to Bogota, that gentleman ha ving become a favorite in New Granada among all parties. Mr. Pombo, It appears, was highly pleased with Mr. Trescott, who by his frank and courteous manners is popular with the dinlomatlc corps. As the most populous and riohest States of New. Granada art with Gen. Herran, who com mands the Government forces, and as the armies of the Revolutionary party are composed' especially of negroes and those who depend on civil war for subsistence, the triumph of the Government is con tidered to be merely a question of time.

It appears that, some time ago, a Mr. Joshua Bateman, of Georgetown, D.

The Massacre of Christians in Syria, The New York of yesterday, says: “We published yesterday the account of the massacre of a whole village by the Druses, who put upwards of two thousand males to the sword, and sparing only the women and ohildren, who, to the number of eleven 1 hundred, had takes refuge on board two British ships of war, in which they had been oonveyed a distance of twenty miles to Beyrout. Only about thirty men esoaped, who bad fled, to the boose of the American missionary, Mr. Bird, who was protooted by the chief of the Druses. The rofngoes say that the Turkish soldiers, so far from protecting the Christians, helped the Druses to butoher them, and the Sultan's troops were the only men who offered insult or htfury to .the women. It appears that these troops first disarm** the Christians, and then not only per mitted them to be slaughtered, but aided in the pious work. The sanding of a body of new troops, therefore, by the Turkish Government, to put a stop to the massacres, is more likely to increase them. Tbo correspondence of the London News says: “The Turkish toons and officials are far more dreaded in Syria than the Druses them selves.’’ Besides the cold-blooded murders which may be coasted by thousands, twenty thousand Christians had been, burned out of house and home: and the latest intelligence states that the British Government' had received despatches giviog an account of a fearful massacre at Da mascus, whore five hundred Christians were killed, among whom waa the Dutch Consul, and the Amerie&n Consul was wounded. The outbreak in this anolent city was retarded by the exertions of the famous Algerian warrior, Abd-el-Kader, who had been living there in re rirement. From a the Boston Traveller i« Sjrpms- ton at ""y*—■•) • - -n, „ thousand Christiana, they do not know the mo ment they will alt be put te death. The Ameri can and. British consuls had invited their country men to take refogo on board the ships of war in port, and the Ameridan odnsul had farther called a meeting of the Americans, at which be warned them of their danger, and advised them, on the first alarm, to proceed to the American printing office, a large, strong building, well calculated to protect them, and which had been provisioned for a siege. The writer says that the next mail will pro bably bring us an aocount of Beyrout being blotted out! Frenoh and British and Russian ships of war are there, and they will, no doubt, bombard the city and lay It in ashes if the Christians shall be attaoked; but* that will be too late to savo them. It had been suggested to land a force; but there seems to be a want of unanimity among the consuls. Probably any fozoe that could be landed would bo totally Inadequate for the protection of the Christians, and would he uselessly sacrificed. There is no doubt that the Turkish Government riooerely desires Jo put a stop to these massacres, well knowing its own danger from the combination of England, Franoe, Russia, and Austria; for this last, power, we just learn, has also despatched men-of-war to the Syrian coast. But it is out of the power of the Saltan to do anything with those wild mountainous tribes, who combine ohivalry and daring oourage with their fanaticism. To add to the difficulty, too Moslem population are taking part with the Druses, and invoking their aid to ex terminate the Christians. The very troops of the Government not only sympathise, but lend a help ing hand in tho work of slaughter. Tho Boston Traveller of Saturday, also says The American Board have nine missionary stations in Syria, nine ont-stations, eleven mis sionaries, one printer, thirteen female assistant missionaries, threo native preachers, thirty-six teachers, and other native helpers. Ail, or nearly all of these missionaries were gathered at Beirut, at last accounts, having left their stations for a place of greater safety; and as Beirut is now the rendezvous of a large Kuropoan naval force, no fears need bo entortainad for tbelr safety. The following is a list of tbo missionaries: Beirut —O. V. A Van Dyok, M. D., J. Ed wards Ford, missionaries; Geo. O. Harter, printer; Mrs Julia A. Van Dvek, Mrs Mary E. Ford, Mrs. E.iaabeth Uurter.

The last nows from Damascus of the ruassioro of five hundred Christians is given with out date, but it doubtless occurred soon after tho 23d of June, as Our correspondent at Beirut fore shadowed tho event. Hasbeiya, the place blotted out of existence by tho bloody Druses, constituted, with Sidon, one half of the mission in extent and population, and also in tho number of churches and ohurch mem bers in attendance upon instruction, and in the number of pl&oes whero a decidedly ovangelioal movement has began. Letters from the Amerioan jnUelonnriea in Syria, received in this oity, state that it Is hoped and believed that a number of the Protestant Christians at iiasbeyla escaped The latest news from Sidon states that many of tho Protestants in that region bad been protected by friendly Druses and Metawalies. This would indleato that somo of the Druses, at least, wero not quite so bad as tho Turks. It is certain, however, from the tono of these advices, that there have been many mur ders, and that the sufferers there are in need more than ever of tho active aid and sympathies of Christians everywhere. Escaped from the Hospital.—Oh Mon day last, a full account was published In The Press of a deaporato fight botwoon a boatman and a party of Sohuylkill Rangers, in Pino street* noar the Schuylkill, In the course of which the boatman shot three of them, who were all taken to the hos pital. One of the men, named Frank Coyle, who was oharged with putting out the lamp previous to the attack being made upon tho boatman, was after wards shot in tho forehead, and was admitted into the hospital. The wound proved slight, and the man continued to get better ; in fact, he improved so much that some time between midnight on Sa turday night and daybreak yesterday morning, he left his bed at tho hospital, got into tho yard, and afterwards scaled the wall, preferring to leave precipitately rather than stay and stand his trial for being ooncernod in tho murderous affray. Another Sad Drowning oa3B. — Yes terday, Mr. George T.

The company numbered some fifty muskets, and the men were in excellent condition, and seemed determined to do their best, in order that the military reputation of our oily should not suffer by the comparison of their move ments with those of the distinguished strtDgers.

They wore blue fatigae oaps, ornamented wlth Jband, and a gilt plate in front, representing a east!*. Their knap sacks wero paoked with clothing and a red blanket. The officers wore the red blanket over the right shoulder, rolled up and fastened at the left hip similar to a sash * Capt. Parry, of the Grays, as soon as the boat was made fast, went on board and oommantoated with Capt. Ellsworth. At a given signal, the Zouaves saluted Capt P. with their peculiar cheer: “One, two, three,four, five! Zcuave! (pronounced * Zwav,’ like one syllable) ti-g-a a r-r !” accompa nying the oheerlng with waving their caps. The corps then landed and marohed npon the wharf, “doubling” the files according to the Hardeo tactics. The Washington Grays were formed in line at “ present arms,” and the Zouaves marched past in “ quick timo,” after whioh they halted, and the Grays marched up and took the right, and tho battalion then passed over the following loute: Up Spruce to Th»rd up Third to Chestnut, up Chest nut to Fifth, up Fifth to arch, up Arch to fish teenth, down Eighteenth to Locust, down Locust to Twel tb. up Twelfth to Chestnut, down Chestnut to Jone** Hotel. The strangers attracted great attention, the streets through whioh they passed being lined with spectators. The battalion manoeuvred both ac cording to the Hardeo and Scott’s tactics, march ing by platoons with olosed ranks, and when passing-obstacles filing by the right flask when the files were “ doubled,” and Intervals taken, and tho “ time ” increased to “ quick ” or 120 to the minute. The performances of both companies were very olosely criticised, and opinions seemed to be divided as to the relative merits of each. Wo will not inflict upon our readers a descrip tion of the military manoeuvres which wero per formed on the march, as it would bo understood by only a few, but will say, in brief, thst both comirn ni«fß acquitted themselves exceedingly well. The marching and wheeling were fanlUess, while the execution of the manual of arms delighted every beholder. Jones’ Hotel was crowded with spectators when the bead of the column reached that point. A large American flag was suspended across the street, bearing the words “vrxLcowß, zouaves ” The strangers are quartered in the ladies’ ordi nary. The list of the officers and men of the visiting company is g iven under hotel arrivals . This morning, accompanied by a detachment of the Washington Grays, they will visit Inde pendence Hall, the Mint, and the Academy of Natural Sciences. In the afternoon, escorted by the full company of Grays, they will visit Fair mtuntPark, where they will drill in public. To morrow morning they will visit Girard College and the Eastern Penitentiary, and in the afternoon will visit Point-Breese Park, where they will drill again. On Tuesday evening they leave for Balti more. Mr. Brodhead, President of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad Company, has extended an invi tation to the Zouaves and the Grays, and the gene ral offioersof tho First Division, P. V., to visit At lantic City some time this week, but Uis not cer tain whether the invitation can be accepted with out interfering with previous engagements. During yesterday the Zouaves strolled through the city in groups and singly, examining the pub lic squares, buildings, and other objects of interest. Capt. Lyle, of tho National Guards, has extended to the Zouaves tho use of tho Guard Armory during their stay. This is tho largest and most commo dious armory owned by any volunteer company * in the United Stales. Many persons entertain the belief that the Zou aves are all Frenchmen, or speaking the French language. This is nut the fact. They've nearly all Americans by birth, and mostly employed in stores in Chicago. All are extremely vounx men— v:. 1 "’"j four—and their military experience extemUria-ta#: system of tactics which has so distinguished them, no farther back than fit teen months ago. From the earliest period of their organisation, it has been their aim to indurate themselves to every species of hardship incident to a soldier’s motive In tho rammer of 1859 the National Agricultural Sooioty awarded the corps a stand of Champion colore, for proficiency in drill. At the time of the award, the Cadets were somewhat disappointed, that in competing for the pruo they “ had not met focmen worthy of their steelor, in other words, that competition which they had been led to ex pect. In consequence, daring the month of Sep tember following, they a ohalleoge to any (ompaiy of militia or regular army in the United States or Canadas, offering the colors in question to tho company that shoula excel them. So far, the gauntlet has not been token up. With these antecedents aud a reputation so ex tended, the Zouaves left Chicago on Monday, the 2d, and in the various exhibition drills which they have given have exceeded rather than disappoint ed the expectations which had been formed of them. Crowds nave witnessed their evolutions, military organiiationshavc done them honor, their gallantly has won them the favor of the fair sex, and then journey has been a complete ovation. Itis against their rules to live luxuriously, as they have had every facility for doing at the large hotels, but, ignoring the oommon oomfert of a bed, o&oh member of the company obtains his sleep upon tho floor, having nothing beneath him but his blanket thrice folded. This policy has been pur sued the entire journey, and will be persisted in until their return home, thus giving the trip, in connection with tho almost incessant drills which have bean its adjuncts, the character of a marob of soldiers on active duty. Another self-imposed re gulation of the company is worth chronicling None of its members are permitted to indulge in intoxicating liquors, or visit bar-rooms and other questionable resorts. So rigid is the enforcement of this rule, that a person attaahed to the bond, who had violated it, was expelled from the com pany when it readied the city of Adrian. Mich.

Shocking Accident.— Mr. Carr, of Chew’s Landing, N. J., came to this city on Saturday, with a wagon drawn by two mules. Tbo same evening, as the team was standing in Second street, above Catharine, tho mules became restive, and Mr. Carr stepped to their heads to hold them. A this moment a passenger railway car passed down when the mules shied to one side, and Mr. Carr wa> thrust against the side of the oar. when one of the hind wheels of the oar passed over both his feet ornshing them from the instep down, in a shookiog manner. He was taken first to the residence ot Dr. Kane, near by, but was afterwards removed ti the residence of an acquaintance, in Christian streot, below Second. It is feared that the unfor tunate man will lose both feet, if not his life.

Found Drowned.—Early oo Saturday morning, the body of KJward Lokena, who re sided in Poplar street, above Seventh, waa found Soaring in tbeDelawaje, near Graen-atreet wharf. Tha ritcea/rd bad been missing from home since Tbur;<iay last. An inquest was held, and a verdict of Found drowned” rendered. The body of Charles U. Briscoe, aged 18, was found floating in the fotuylkill, near Point Breese, on Saturday afternoon. The lad was drowned while bathing on Thursday. An inquest was held, and a verdict rendered accordingly. Legal Intelligence—Quarter Ses -BlosS—Judge Allison.—The court room was crowd ed on Saturday, by lawyers as well as laymen, anxious to hear tbo decision upon the novel point raised on Friday by tbe itateme&t of Mr. McMul len, one of the jurors in ihoDonntUy eaae. Jadge Allison, in delivering his opinion, said he bad reviewed the whole matter very .thoroughly, and had endeavored to discover any aatherities by which he could be governed in deciding the ques tion as then presented, but he had been unable to find any case precisely like tne present one. Tbe principle was well established theta juror could bo n witness to any fret which in the course of the trial ho discovered be was possessed of, but the present case wss not governed by that plain principle to which he had referred, as the juror had made his communication to the District Attor ney during the recess of the court, and when the defendant and fals oounsel were sot preeent. And there was the farther fact, that the juror htd stated his knowledge to at least one or two of his fellow-jurymen somo boors before it ins given to to the District Attorney or the court Jadgo Allison could see nothing in the conduct of the juror, or the District Attorney which was not correct. Tho juror acted in good faith, and, not being learned in the law, he supposed, as many others would, that the District Attorney, aa the re presentative of the Commonwealth, was tbe proper person to communloat© with, and the District At torney did not icquire into any details from tbe juror, but merely informed him what oonrso to pur sue. In this view of the oase there was no good reason for tho discharge of the jnry, and the state ment of the juror, that he did not consider himself able to give an impartial verdict, amounted to uothing, aa the impression had been made upon hh mind after ho was sworn, and after hearing the testimony. Feeling satisfied of the entire good faith cf this communication cf the juror, he should order the case to proceed, end the question could be raised upon a motion for a new trial. *Mr. F. C. Brewster then begged leave to sub mit two papers, as follows: John Donnelly, the above-named defendant, respect folly applies to tnis honorable Conn to ducharge pre sent jury from all further consideration of the said care, on the s round of the bias restins upon the mind of one or more of the jurors, which would be calculated to prevent an iniparuai inal *nd a just deoision of said cause, in oupport of this application be r-fers the honorable curt to the communications made by Mr. McWulles. one of the jurois. alter the defendant had dosed li-a defence.

F. CARROLL BRKWsTER, July fS,‘5Sh DAVID PAUL Bftu V?N. Judgo Allison said the first paper had been acted apon already, and bo for as the other was con terned, the counsel could act as scorned proper to them. Mr. Mann said he intended to proceed with the case, and he would wait a few minutes in or der to allow the counsel to retire from the court room. Mr. Brown replied that ,ho claimed the right to remain in the court room M long os he saw fit, a* he did not understand Mr. Mann to havo tho en tire command of tho realm. Mr. Drawn and Mr. Brewster remained with the defendant in courVbat took no farther part in the proceedings. / 31r. McMullen, tho juror, was called to the w-U ness stand, pad he testified that he resided in Fra'kford, dnd during the last winter bo was in ’hr habit of visiting the city every Saturday and Afenday, and stopped in the hotel in Second street, .eferrea to by Baker and Maynes; be recollected lopoDjCne occasion, either upon * Saturday ora Monday, he had seen Mr. Donnelly at the hotel, and he thought Maynes was with him, but of thij he was not positive; but he was certain he had f rfcen Mr. Donnelly; he noticed him from the fa.’* that he (the witness) was about to depoiit a n*fe in tko dispatch box containing money, and h« looked around the room to see if there *«re strangers about, and he then noticed Mr Con nelly.
