letter dated at this piece, signed "Seceder,” in

of this whole • predation.' Bell and Everett wilt

both parties In the last election. Every Demo

Douglas Democrat, and I do not believe that Jae.

at his selfish bargaining. As to Tennessee, the wild.

not pretend to claim that Stets' for Brooklet-Mae,
and I assure you that you must not be astonished
it Alabama. Georgia, and Louisiana should de.
'Mare against him.: Concede' South Carolina, and,
ifyou please, MisDissippi, Texas; and Arkansas, and
they will be the sum total of , his electoral vote in

WASHINGTON, August 13, 1860
Vimtoile efforts are now being made to induce the
Government to it out an expedition against the
Indians in Utah and Oregon, which will coat rail
tions of dollars, and fill the pockets of cruel, mei'
sliest! speculators. The poor- Indians are cheated
and ill treated- everywhere, and when owe one of
them takes revenge, the Government, Instead of
instating upon the rendition of the guilty party,
puniettes the whole tribe.
We make a great,.deal of noise about the mur
ders perpetrated by the,Druses against the Ma
ronites. We lift up our hands in horror when we
read" that there women and children have been
massitored. Bat we need not go so far all to Asia
Minor. In our own country, inhabited, as we
oleic s to be, by a civilized nation, we may witness
annually similar seines. How often have not the
pipers published accounts of butcheries, by volun
teer companies, of hundreds of Indian women and
children ! Yes, women and children ! But they are
Indians, and our' Government pays, afterwards,
those brave volunteer companies for such hereto
sots-:-witness California and Oregon, Our pious
People, whose sympathies are now so great in be
half of the sufferers in far-off Syria—who, by the
by, are not more civilised than our aborigines—
never lift their voices in behalf of the poor
Indians. They collect money for missionaries; in
Africa and Asia, but permit our Indians to starve.
Verily, we are living in strange times. Genuine
and true humanity seems to be a rare thing.
Times are at present very dull in this oily.
The Government has not funds' enough to carry
out the last appropriations of Congress for our
public buildings. Nothing. is done at the exten
sion of the Treasury Department. AU the work
men have been discharged. Of course, our oiti.
sena grumble, but that avails them little. They
have to welt until better times are coming.
Tke letter of Louis Napoleon to Count Peraigny,
hie - ambassador at London, proteeting against the
insinuations of Palmerston thrown out in hie last
speech, is considered nothing but a ruse to keep
the people of England in the dark aa to his (Na
poleon's) future aota and plane. Everybody
knowe that Napoleon does not fear England. His
eager deoleration in fiver of peace; his excuse
when be ought to feel offended, show too plainly
that there is something behind the curtain, which
he does not yet desire to exhibit to the people of
Europe. Whenever he speaks. he does it merely
to conceal his real thoughts, How little confidenee
the English people have in his peaceful declara
tions, appears from the fact that, in spite of his
letter, the console did not rise. The ita oney men
do, not trust him, and they are usually well-in

The British call that "liberating." The position
of these " apprentices," likelthat of, the coolies, le
ten thousand times worse and more terrible than
that of the alsvos of this oonntry. The Master
cares little about the life of such unfortunate, as'
he has nothing to lose by his death. Out of four
'thousand five hundred coolies imported into Ja
maica in 1848 and 1847, ante one-half remained
alive in 1851, and, these were wandering about,
half-naked and half starve d, living in waysides,
ditches, and den, in thetowne, infeeting the ne-,
gross with their idleness, profligacy, and paganisni.
They are considered as raw-material tole iborked

are for ten years ; that of Abele miserable pay Of
four dollars per month, one-half to retained, under
the terms of their contract, to be paid at the con
elanon of their engagentent7t4 est, at the end ,
of the ten years—the truth of this horrible state
ment, that they are " worked up as raw material,"
becomes apparent, and its motive equally obvione.
The coolie must not be alone at the end of ten
pears ; there would be duo him $240;. and a new
one, a fresh worker, could be bought for $lOO, in
stead of the miserable Asiatic), worn.out, decrepit,
dying, valueless, as " raw material !"
That is one of the principal reasons that the ex
portations of domestio' produce from the British
colonies have lately been on the increase. If those
Christian, philanthropical, antislavery men Of
Exeter Hall, who constantly, bewail the fate of our
well-clad, well-fed, and contented negroes, would
only turn their attention to those cruelties carried
on and protected by their own British Government,
or extend their humanitarian feeling merely over
the slaves in the United States, Great Britain
ought to be the last country on earth to blame us
for something for which she alone is responsible.
Whilst the Breokinridgers boast to the Southern
people that they are able to carry Pennsylvania
and some other Northern States, they on the other
hand tell the people of your State that they will
carry all the Southern States. It is on false pre
tenses they want to induce the people to vote for
them. Bad they succeeded in duping the Douglas
men in the old Keystone into the support of the
fusion ticket, as proposed by Bigler, there might
have been some shadow left to ride on the becks of
the Douglasites into power. But that hope being
now entirel:Kdestroyed, it becomes exceedingly dif
lieult for them to make the Southern people believe
, that they did not lie when they told them that
their God-forsaken Seceders' ticket would carry

the whole South would vote for him. They will

The moat comfortable ride from Camden to At
lantic City that I have ever enjoyed wan my trip
down on Saturday morning. The cooling clouds
and gentle rain, which name at last to the relief of
thebaked earth and parched atmosphere, rendered
the air humid and refreshing, and by a happy con
junction of the wind there wan a perfect freedom
from" either duet, smoke, or cinders. The depres
sion of the mercury hero was marked and rapid,
and at three P. Id. an overcoat would not have felt
uncomfortable. What do you think of that, ye
who, on the day before, sighed for some blessed
"realm flowing with rivers of ice water, and in
which no other garments were required by the
rules of society than nature's own? It wee
feared by the hotel proprietors that the
sudden change would reduce the arrivals
by the evening train, but in this they
were agreeably disappointed, as the registers
showed after the oars came in. The temperature
had in the meantime moderated sufficiently to be
pleasant, and for the dancing in the evening it
could hardly have been better suited. The hope
at the Surf Rouse (where your correspondent, is
stoppleg) and tither hotels were largely attended,
and presented, as mai, a mingled and very in
teresting scene of grace, beauty, and so forth.
The hotels continue well filled, but not crowded,
so that visitors, while they will find all the ad
vantage of a numerous company, run no risk of
being subjected to campere sleeping accommoda

and out-door amusement', such as gunning, fish

Many have purposely deferred their visits, and
others, now here, intend remaining later than
heretofore. There seems to be a general impr es ,
elan that the season will be unusually protracted.
and every effort will be made to render it
so. Last year Mr. Berme, of the " Surf,"
retained a large company until late in Septem
ber, and his ineremed accommodations, and even
more than usually excellent table, are not
likely to make him lose auemesful this. The
" Surf," I may say in peening, under the able ma
nagement of Mr. B , with his gentlemanly ambit
ants, Messrs. Blair and Weaver, was never more
popular. The bathing to-day is delicious, and the
hundreds, in their fantastic babilimente, as they
emerged from the breakers an hour ago, never en
joyed them more. The waves rolled in their most
voluptuous grandeur just at the right time.
Excursions to Atlantic City have this , season
been numerous and large, but uniformly so well
eonduoted that, instead of offering the least inoon

evince a degree of phrieal pluck, if I may so
express it, that our more formal and fashionable
denizens are at a loss to comprehend. They
leave Camden at 9 A. DI., arrive here at
9, proceed to the beach at once to take a
dip, then go to the hotel, dance for an boor
or two, take their dinners, when, where, and as
they please—which is usually followed by a short
indiscriminate stroll in the heat of theday—another
plunge in the breakers, and dancing (with all their
clothes on and adjusted for starting) uninterrupt
edly from that time until the bell of the train ad
montehes thole. that ‘f time's up," when away they
bound, often breaking a cotillion right off in the

the city. The adventageo of the trip, whiob are of
course riot to he doubted, must, however, be as
oribed to some other cause than the enjoyment of a
day's rest. They make it for pleasure, as thousands
make trips in a more pretending and expensive
way, and, judging from the actions and appearance
of the company I saw on Saturday, they about as
effectually secure their object. They gain their
end, and se furnish those holding the philosophy
that *access Os everydayg an example to emulate
in theory if not in practice. With the usual li
berality which has characterized the management
of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad-in the hands
of President Brodhead, the price of these excel ,

and a Varner.

about it, moreover, that struck me as highly ore.

are yet without a church editme, but bold weekly

good chapel style for that purpose. The sermon
yesterday was by the Rev. Mr. Carryl, assist
ant of the Rev. Dr. Newton, of St. Paul's, Third

I which was dedicated about a year ago, was largely
attended yesterday morning : when an excellent

The Benicia toy in Philadelphia.
The acconiplishadjOhU O. Hesman,,eltemplon of
the leaevy weight', end brubser it large, reached
this cityyesterday afternoon, from New York, via
Camden and Amboy Railroad. He was expected
to land at Walnut-street wharf upon the arrival of
the train due here at one o'clock, bat a telegram
was received at that hour, announcing that he had
postponed his departure from New Yorkuntil two
o'clock P. M
The intitaulaf aympathetle, not cognizant of this
postponement, assembled at the leery in Ivo
numbers. 'lt was computed that five thousand
braised, young and old, elestered upon the wharf.
They waited with some impatience for more than
an hour, but when the steamer genie in, and their
favorite was not to be found, - they were quite
brokenhearted. A few, however, reasoning that
a sly trick could not detract from the courage of a
brave man, threw up their hate, and proposed a
limitless number of cheers.
The ensuing train was 'likewise beset. But
during the afternoon the rumor grew apace that
the Champion's non-arrival was a ruse todisconellt
the million, and this was etretigthened by the an
nouncement that ho intended to drive around by
the upper ferry, and reach the city at Vine-street
wharf. Thither the surging masses pressed, tn.
vlroning the ferry house, and crowding the brow
of the hill, from Delaware avenue to Front street.
Consequently, when the renowned boxer came In
by the ferry he found the street completely blocked
up. The pugilists and friends occupied five car
riages.
First earrlege—Tom Coleman, J. 0. Hoonan,Yeek
McDonald, Jim Cusick.
Second carriage—Ned Price, Aaron Jones, Henry
Wood, Manager Nixon.'
Third carriage—Reporters of the press.
Fourth and filth—The Philadelphia Reception
Committee.
The reporters were gratified with the honor of
being succenively taken for Email, and loudly
cheered by the mob -
The carriages were pursued by men and boys
and some women Screams mingled with cheers.
The Champion was advised to met up his hands,
and soared that he had a likely nob. Re reci
procated these friendly offers by bowing from aide
to side, with a look of gratifieatlon There
seethed to be little in this spontaneous ovation to
gratify a discerning pride ; but, after all, the tes
timonial to Heenan by the ragged and unseemly
million was not unlike the object of the dearest
political aspirations.
Some of tho shoulder hitting enthusiasts followed
the carriages from the ferry to the Girard House,
sweeping through the streets like so many mad
beings. We are also informed that Heenan's rail•
way ride was a succession of receptions; the citi
zens being drawn up at every station to frighten
the engine with their yells.
We visited Mr. Heenan early in the evening.
Be stood in the far end of a small reception-mem,
surrounded by a email circle of professional"
friends. There was Jack McDonald, a full-chested
Lilliputian, who stood beneath the broad shadow
of Heenan like a plucky bantam, and said with a
cockney tone that you wouldn't think 'lm and
Jack 'Henan stood Imp to each other. Ned Price
burly, but dignified, stood in the rear, hie hand
bound in wrappers. Aaron Jones, dark and mas
sive, flitted in and nit of the room on responsible
errands. These ware some leaser lights, to whom
we were not honored with an introduction.-- A few
men of more or less town note cowered in the rear.
as if sensible of their insignificance in such noble
I company. The Introduction ceremonies were
vary gravely performed. MoDonald was bluff,
and made some good-humored reply to the men
tion of his name, as the "man that sat in the
corner of the ring and saw Mr. Heenan's head
numbed." Price - bowed with dignity. We un
derstand that his knuckles are badly out. Heenan
bowed in a very pliant manner, bet without any
great display of grace. He speaks with ease, and
e somewhat boyish in his general carriage and con
duct.
The portraits current do not convey an Impres
sion of his appearance. His hair is. very black,
and is still short and crisp. Over his prominent
cheekbones flashes a haughty and vigilant eye
t.is brow is low, and recedes in a concave line.
His shoulders are square, and his chest fall and
compact. When we saw him he bad removed his
eont, and the fail breadth of his breast was ex
hibited. He Is not so burly as Aaron Jones, nor
hoe he the cut-throat, reckless guise Of many brut
soya
We ehonid judge that he had not a pound of su
perfluous flesh neon him. His limbs are straight,
muscular, and trim : he walks like a sailor, moving
impulsively and quick.
A large diamond pin sparkled in his bosom. and
be was (Hurled in a splendid suit of broadcloth.
Such wee the men who did battle at Farnborough
for the Saxon championship
Ned Price, of Boston,' is a young and rising
boxer. He fought Kelley, a noted pugilist, some
time ago, the battle iesultlng, we believe, in a

Point Albino,
Jack McDonald is a noted English trainer of
pugilists. He seconded Tom Sayers in several
fights, and more meetly managed Heenan is the

Cusick, likewise a noted trainer, was Heenan's
assistant second In the fight with Sayers.

The Appearance of each of theme individuals in
