Tbe New’Post Office Regulations.'
.. 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

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 '. In -their “ fantastic tricks,”
“ .Verily, there were giants- in those days!”
The Censns.
‘ The. deputy marshals 'are , very busily em
ployed in completing the censns of the conn

hoped there, will be as little delay as possible

world! at, lirgc of their ~ progress in numbers

: It is to, be regretted that, many persons re
gard.with . indifference, or .aversion, tlio opera
tions of the censns takers,'and are careless or
ip furnishing them with the informa
tion which is necessary to render their reports
accurate and complete. At' this season, too,
When many >/ the citizens,' of Philadelphia
are. absent bn. summer ;.touts, it will be
alfnbst impossible to obtain accurate' re
turns In regard to their families and their bu
■jMss establishments... It is; very desirable
twthe report should do foil justice, not only

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. We shall see.

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. But they
Haro set fire to the prairies, and I fear tho only
thing to put out tho fierce flame is a good shower
of votes In Ootober and November next. After
that wo shall have fair salting for some years—and
lot us hopebonest offioers on the ship of State, and

OOCASIOSAh.
Another Letter raon Mu. 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. He called tho Demooratio
party an Augean stable,' and his sohemo would
clean it out. I denied that his sohemo could iue
eeed. He predioted ' good from its ’ over
throw. The letter refuses assent to his
prediction. To wean him from his ohemcrieal and
short-sighted polioy. I suggested to him to aid in
extending the League; not to destroy the party,
whtoh in the same letter I had refused to giro
countenance to, bnt to elevate and purify the truo
men of tho oountry. 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.' I
say that this is a gross perversion ef the letter and
spirit of that document. - The letter itself says that
the purpose was 1 a prompt resistance on the next
aggression, J that l at ,a prayer moment' this ro
sistanoe oan be made.
“This, and this alone.' is the offenooln that letter.
When it was written I had in my head no sohemo
of disunion. I hare had none sinoe—l have none
now. Then, As now, I was for using , all proper
meane.for maintaining our rights within the union
—then, as now, to elevate, purify, and bring the
Demooratio party up to a strict maintenance of the
fall measure of onr constitutional rights, and to
ignore all farther compromises. To this end have
Ihoneetly labored up to this hour. The whole
tons arid tehor of that' letter ib to prepare for
enforcing the platfoHn of the United States
Convention of Georgia on tho next ag
gression’ at ‘a proper moment.’ When
that boar arrives, I, shall be found prepared.
That 1 did not have in view the destruction ofthe
party end Of the Union at Charleston is made evi
dent by the faot, that when its disruption was com
plete, on the adjournment at Charleston by the
secession of eight Demooratio and ootton States—
so farffom discountenancing all efforts to heat the
bresoh —so far from endeavoring to widen it, and
thus make it perpetual—so far from exulting over
it, and looking upon it, ns charged, and falsely
charged in the eighth end last allegation, > as the
period which was looked forward tojbf me) when
the DemoorAtio party'and the Union worn to bo
overwhelmed In one common min'—the country
well knows tbst es soon ae well-grounded hope of
harmony being restored was held out, I seised
upon that hope, and used all my lnflueiioe with
reludiant' friends to Obtain a reunion ofthe De
mooraoy at Baltimore.”

Yon will remember Brodxrxck’s overwhelming

interested parties; but under Broderick's terri
ble array of facts the Government recoiled. 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. I will

Judge Black has just decided a case whioh
proves his love of justice and of law. 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.

Fugitivb-Slave Excitement—An Arrest
made, but the Wrong Man Oaptured.—A con
siderable eioitement was oreated on Saturday
morning, in the vloinity of Fifth and Chestnut
streets, by the arrest of a oolored man, named
J arnos Valentine, upon the supposition that he was a
fugitive slave. It appears that, some time ago, a
Mr. Joshua Bateman, of Georgetown, D. C., had
a negro, named Benjamin Herd, who owed his
master “lervioe and labor;” but Benjamin, hav
ing a curiosity to see tho oountry north of Mason
and Dixon’s line, took it into his head to
run off, and did so. Mr. Bateman, the master,
having learned that “ Ben” was in this city, de
puted a person to com© hore and reclaim the fugi
tive A warrant was Issued by Judge Cndwaia
dor for the arrest of the aforesaid Ben, and placed
in the hands of Deputy United States Marshals
Jenkins and Sharkey, who, in oompany with tho
representative of Mr. Bateman, the ownor, pro
ceeded up Fifth street in searon of the fugitive.
When near Market street, the agent pointed out a
colored man driving a dray, as being the Identloal
Ben. The officers at once arroatod the oolored
man, and having secured him, took him, to the
office of the U. B. Marshal, when the agCnt who
previously had pointed the man out as the missing
“ Ben,” suddenly reooileeted that the prisoner was
not the man he was seeding, and had com
mitted a mistake. The Oolored man arrested was
named James Valentine, and he has resided in
this oity for many years, and is said to be possessed
of considerable means. He was- exceedingly in.
dignant when made acquainted with tho oause of
his arrest, and threatened all sorts of vengeance
upon the officers in the shape of a suit of
damages .for false arrest. The agent of the

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. Three native teaehers, and one
helper.
Abet/i. —Simeon H. Calhoun, missionary ; Mrs.
Emtiy F. Calhoun. Two teachers in the seminary,
one of them a preacher.
8u& El Gkurb. —Daniel Bliss,missionary; Mrs.
Abby Maria Bliss; Mies Amelia O. Temple, teacher
of the femalo bearding school. Six teachers in
connection with this station and Abeib.
Sido/i —Wo. W. Eddy, missionary; Mrs. Han
nah M. Eddy. Three native preachers, and five
teachers.
Hasbeiya.— One ordained native preacher and
two helpers.
Heir El Komr. —WllU&m Bird, missionary;
Mrs. Sarah F. Bird. Six tcachora and ono other
helper.
William A Benton, mi&sonary;
Mrs. Lo&nza S. Benton. Nine teachers.

Ont-stations. —Araman, Alma, Cana, Rashbei
ya-01-Fukkpar, Ibl, Ain Zehalty, Kheiyam, Ghnr
-2009, Fort of Tripoli
The Prosbyterians nlso havo missions in that
oountry. 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. Baker, a conveyancer,
residing in Filbert street, above Ninth, and doing
business at 154 South Fourth street, wont on a
sailing excursion down the river with a party of
friends. When near Chester buoy, Mr. Baker’
was seized with a fit. as was supposed, and before
his companions could assist him, he foil overboard
and was drowned. Tho friends of the nnfortnnaie
man returned immediately to the oity, and took
mt-asdreS'to bavethe river dragged ffafthe vicinity
of the oocurrenoe, for the rooovory of the body. ,
THE CITY.
AMCgSUENTfI THIS EVENING.
“te&s abov * Tw * ifUi * tr " t -
Aubival op the Chicago Zouave C)a
pets. On Saturday afternthm, about 0 o'clock,
tho Obiosgo Zouave Cadets ardvod In this city
from Now York by way oi tho steamship Konno
bee. The hour announced lor their arrival w*s
half past 3 o'clock, and the consequence wax that
for more than two hours previous tothe botteohe
ing in sight there was an immense crowd of
manity blocking up tho wharves near Bpruoe
street, and perobed in the rigging of vessels, whilo
every window end balcony of the Stores, along
Delaware avenuo was filled with spectators. -In
anticipation of a largo crowd, Chief of Police Sa
muel G. Ruggles, and Lieut. David Henderson, of
the Reserve Corps, Were present with a force of
150 policemen, for the purpose of keeping the
crowd baok, and preserving order.
Tho Washington Grays, Capt. Parry, marched
down to tho wharf in flue style, headed by the
Liberty Cornet Band.' 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.
The Grays halted, and stacked arms under the
shed belonging to the transportation company,
below Spruce-street wharf.
The Kennebec steamed up to the dock with the
band of the Cadets playing on the upper forward
deck, in fine style. Iho Zouavea were drawn up
in lioe at a “ rest,” about amidships of the boat.
Muoh disappointment was felt at first, from the
faot that it waa ©xpectcd they would be equipped
In their Zouave dress. This, ft appears#*** left In
New York to bo washed, consequently they were
in their fall dress,’which 1 resembles somewhat the
infantry uniform of the army, with the exoeption
of the trimmings and oap. This uniform! a a dark
blue frock coat, with light-blue pants,, having a
buff stripe down the leg. 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

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.

And also the following :

flection upon tbe occurrence and disclosure before the

approval of said defendant, respectfully decline from
proceeding further in this case and before this jury.
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
