Whatever value, may attach to the tradi t'.ow,. of the Mot Bon doctrine, it is obvious it at a very pas•ainnate, it Ltot a very pro -I.3ent effort, is being made to give r. . n and comprehensive application at vv,ent time. The presence of a large army on the frontier rivers of Texas, f.mit thither, doubtless, not for warlike or crzresi•ive purposes by the Government, is m,eil by the politicians as the basis of a pro phecy that difficulty with the French in Mcaiso may be precipitated at an early day ; and we have a letter of General Pun, SlLE itir,xii's, who is in command of the army of Texas, in which that gallant and impetu ous chieftain makes a very strong pro-Mexi- Can policy for the President. This letter was produced at a military dinner in New Toth yesterday, and is as follows : Time is no use to beat around the bush in 11. i. Mexican matter. We should give a per w:anent government to their republic. Oar cork to crushing the rebellion will not be &nu lilt this takes place. The advent of NaNhailian was a portion of the rebellion, and his fall should belong to its history. :Moi,t of theMexiettn soldiers of Maximilian e. army would throw down their arms the ma. lam we cross the Rio Grande. The French il:!lui•nce is governed by sheer impudence. [Cheers.] That this was a private letter is clear from the terms of it ; and it will doubtless be nail in print with as much regret by General SEEERMAN as by many of his best friends. He wasp =questionably, not sent to the Rio Grande to make a war. What ever eourse destiny, and even duty to our s; Ives, may constrain the Government to Pur,tte, we are not certainly in the position, either morally-or politically, to initiate hos tilities with France, a power with which Ire are openly on the most friendly terms. The Mormon doctrine has recently been Etrrouncied with a new interest. Both, or rather all the great parties of the country teas be said -to have been committed to it at different times, and there is a current setting towards !it which is increased by temporary and, not very temperate coun sel. Ou the specific subject itself, au esteemed correspondent. sends us a very pertinent tad well-conceived passage from One of the nervous speeches of Hon. Wm. D. KELLEY, which we print elsewhere. DATIS AND 1115 FRIENDS. The meeting of the New York adorers and admirers of JEFFERSON DAVIS proves to have heats genuine affair, after all, and if not huge in numbers, was sufficiently violent in spirit. The informant of the ;New York Evening Post, who was of c. - (larse doubted and denounced by the friend s of DAVIS, comes out in a "e'l'f statement ; giving full partieu hrs. which we copy. The JEFF DAVIS party is evidently on the increase in the •Nottli. He has some ardent supporters even here. "The stern statesman" would not long -ladle a volunteer attorney if he litre tried in our courts. And at any meet ing held -to sympathize with him, a very little pressure would tempt the sage of . Wheatland to assume • the curule .Lair. IHow strange the bond between these loving compatriots ! How true to themselves ! How costive in their gifts to others ! They had nothing to rpare for the assassinated President, the butchered Secretary of Sfate, the starved prisoner, the mutilated -martyr. What :Ley had they held in reserve for DAVIS, lie patriot ; for PAYE, the Adonis ; for 'lrs. StRATT, the Mary of the sezitfold ; for 'WERTZ, the noble janitor of the Anderson.. rile heaven. Calculating the degree of - ;eneration by the degree of crime, it would ;N reasonable to estimate, that if DAvis killed a few more thousand of innocent BOOTH had lived to murder Presi (,oll.JouiNsoly, and PAYNE had survived to " s rdsh" the flintily circle of Mr. SEWARD, a IRAV set of saints would have been added to the Christian church; of whnch WILMER, GR EEN• , and .crEIME, are the presiding apos lles and priests. THE ONLY TWO CHRISTIAN NATIONS that still tolerate slavery are Brazil and Spain. In these, active efforts to promote emanci pation arc now being made,' and when they are successful, this horrible institution will exist only in benighted regions, where civilization and Christianity are unknown, and where heathen barbarism has always prevailed. It is a most significant circuna. stance that all intelligent nations, after a protracted trial, condemned the infamous system of labor which heretofore prevailed in our Southern States; and we remember no instance in which, after its abolition, it was ever restored. Experience has strength ened and confirmed the dictates of reason and justice, which so clearly teach that every man untainted with crime possesses the right of personal liberty.

BEPUDIATION-RECONSTRUCTION " Occasional " sounds the alarm in his letter to-day, ex - posing a conspiracy to foist disloyal members from the South into the Congress of the United States for the pur pose of discreditih the national securities, and ultimately repudiating the national debt. To those who have carefully ob served the signs of the times, and especially the frequent recent exhibitions of malevo knee on the part of the conquered rebel leaders, the admonition of our corres pondent will not be unreasonable or unex pected. A SPECIAL correspondent from Washing tgn speaks of the .n.amous Captain WERTZ, late keeper of the •AnderSonvillc, (Ga.) "prison," in which our poor Union soldiers were allowed to_ starve and "rot" by thousands ; but the letter we copy from yesterday's New York Times, heing a more elaborate, authentic account of that bar barian's conduct, goes beyond even the wildest exaggerations of the cruelties of JEFFERSON DAVIS. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL." WAsitu GT ON, August 4, 1865 The hopeful condition of our finances, stated by the Secretary of the Treasury, is the best news that could be given to the American people, In other days, the question of the public debt, and the manner of paying it, occupied the at tention of the Committee of Ways and Means in the House, the Committee of Fi nance in the Senate, the Secretary Of the Treasury and his agents, the leading bank ers and capitalists, and the great manufac turers of our own and other nations em ployed in the manifold occupations of skilled labor. - The number of persons holding our bonds was comparatively small. But now the financial condition is the concern of mil lions. The holders of our national securities include rich and poor, high and low, the millionaire and the mechanic, the philoso pher and the poet, the tinman and the tailor, the sailor and the soldier, the seam stress and the statesman. The rich having invested freely, and the poor litiving confi ded nearly, if not all, of their substance to the care and the cause of their country, the study of the money market has become as common RS the reading of a morn ing paper. The spirit that prompted this exhibition was in the beginning the loftiest patriotic sacrifice ; and it vitalized and in vigorated the Government in all its arteries and nerves, But, at the same time, it cre ated' a new and a watchful interest, It united the element of a just regard :for individual well-being .to that of jeal ous vigilance over the details of the administration of government ; and in this respect, the National Debt, if not a "national blessing," became au ac tive and unsleeping auxiliary of the Go vernment in all its duties. It made the agent feel that the eye of his principal was upon him, and the vastness of the tru- , cave to the principal a fresh obligation to see to faithful management. Hence the perfect trust-x._ the midst of oceans v of expenditure. The P vin felt that they were lending their money. the holiest of missions, that it was being trustily expended, and would be honestly and promptly returned. Hence, also, the success of our arms, the comfort of the masses at home, who lived, as it were, on a tranquil island in thehot and bloody vortex of war, the consequent conquest of the rebellion, the achievement of peace, and after peace, the rapid retrenchment in pie public outlay, and the wise and compre hensive preparation for a period of economy and moderate taxation. It was but natural that the people should learn finance, and that the "money article" in Tits rums should be as interesting to many who here tofore passed it over, as the " marriages and deaths" are to the good housekeeper, the poetry to the young lady of the family, or the politics to the youthful candidate for the State Legislature. It was natural, also, that the slightest attempt to depreciate or discredit our currency or bonds, our five_ twenties or seven-thirties, should be re sented by thousands and tens of thousands. For what a savings bank for the laboring and frugal was in days gone by, the na tional treasury is now. If that is heal thy and solvent, and pays its inte rest promptly, so whole communities are comforted and in repose. The difficulty of spreading doubt as to the intrinsic value and ultimate redemption of these securities has been increased by this very cause. The Northern sympathizer with the rebels —the local Copperheadw. I to busies himself in spreading all sorts of panic stories among the people who hold the bonds of the Na tional Government—has heretofore found his avocation a most profitless one. But he has not been less active for that reason. He has been constantly on the qui vise. He seizes upon every text and pretext to excite dissension and despondency. The present favorite Copperhead expedient is to demand the admission into Congress of representa tives from the late rebel States, elected by such bitter rebels as lately threw their ballots in Richmond, Virginia. It is the great mission of the Democratic leaders. They are prompted to it by various motives. The rebel Congressmen will be the nucleus of a new Democracy, fashioned after the Breck inridge and Buchanan organizations which plunged the nation into civil war. They will help the men who broke the old party, to resume control in the several Southern States. These reunited brethren can then proceed to repeal the war-measures of Con gress, especially the odious confiscation Rut above, all, when the doors are thrown open, Mut tn, are brought into the Capitol in tritiMpu,- THE ASSAULT UPON THE PUBLIC CREDIT AND UPON THE NATIONAL FINANCIAL SE CURITIES wrm. miiaric IN TERRIRLE EAR NEST. There . will be consistency hi this. The Democratic leaders have been laboring for four years to bring the bonds and cur rency of the Government into disrepute. They have advised their followers to refuse the currency, and, abovd all,'not to invest in the bonds. The key-note Was given given by ,l'ames Buchanan, in 1861, after he had assisted to deplete the public treasu ry, to drag down the value of our national securities, to Make us beggars for loans in the markets of the world, and to strip the Go vernment of nearly all her weapons of pub lic defence and preservation. Under his lead his intimate friends bought real estate, rather than trust the Govern ment;' and at his cue, the Democratic press rung with sombre prophecies of 'rain to all who took the national notes, or con fided in the national bonds. What was true of him, was true of nearly all the same school. They fed the hopes of the foreigners who looked upon our financial scheme with amazement, and generally predicted its downfall. The fact that our debt is owed to the people alone, and that its repudiation would bring thousands of happy and industrious citizens to abject want; produces no pity in their bosoms. They, therefore, bail the idea of making an issue upon the admission of the rebels to Congress: To the rebels the national debt of the United states is a most odious sight. They know it was incurred to crush them and to abolish slavery. They know that their confiscated lands will be made to contri bute to its liquidation. They know that, while not one Clime of their own debt will ever be recognized, they will be eoingelled to help to raise the needed revenue for the payment of the interest and ultimately of the principal. They long, therefore., to get into the next Congress to unite with their Democratic brethren to vote against all .revenue or, appropriation bills, and boldly to raise and fight under the flag' of Repudiation. The conspiracy has been duly organized, and involves more ele- Ments than the people would at present readily believe. I regard it as the great peril of the Republic. Thus it is the duty of all patriots, apart from their own interests, to be ready to meet it. Under the most plausible and deceptive theories this infamous tmanlcl will be made. It has already conirived to secure the sanction of what are supposed to be great names, It contemplates the completest disgrace and the most astounding repudiation in civil history. Ido not fear that it will succeed; because it is only necessary to expose such a plot to bring it to shame. OCCASIONAL WASHINGTON. THE INDISPOSITION OF THE PRESIDENT STILL CONTINUES. OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE RAVAGES OF THE CHOLERA IN EGYPT THE PENSION AGENT OP PHILADELPHIA REAPPOINTED. Special Despatches to The Press.] WASIHNOTON, August 4. The Andersimville savage Wertz. From the card of "the counsel for IL %Team," in this city, the keeper of the Andersonville Prison, at Georgia, it would appear that that 13111111129.11 Wretell IS to have a civil trial. In one view of it I am not sorry, for even before Judge WymE we must get Some facts to add another chapter to the volume of proofs of the horrid cruelties of JEFFERSON DAVIS. I have seen and heard many of the victims of Anderson vine, and all, without exception, tell the same harrowing story. One of the most eminent surgeons in the regular army, who treated some Of our poor boys after they were sent home from that hen of horrors, told me it was not an uncommon thing to find a soldier whose feet had dropped off from his limbs, owing either to imperfect surgery or brOken bones left uncared for; and that the dry or carious shank would protrude! In many othOr cases they came home to linger in inconceivable tortures, and to die the most horrid deaths. I was present when a leading Southern man frankly admitted his inability to defend the inhumanity practiced at this post. I also heard a citizen of Pennsylvania who was a prisoner at Andcrsonville give his experience. He had escaped, but was retaken by means Of bloodhounds. The food was so execrable as to lead to certain death. In the morning he woke to see himself surrounded by the corpses of those who had laid moaning and dying at his side during the night. I am not one who seeks for vengeance even against the most guilty; but now, when there is a cry for the forgiveness of the whole body of the despoilers of our Country, the deliberate assassins of our President, the murderers of our friends and defenders, and when a party is being made upon the appeal of mercy to JEFFERSON DAVIS, I demand that justice should not be lost in this exhibition. of a iinitity which, eVell if exercised towards the rebel chief, would only be regarded as a proof of Iveakness or fear. 4, Commodore" Buchanan. This man, one of the earliest and worst of the traitors, is now supposed to be at his farm in Maryland. lie came to - Fortress Monroe two days ago, in a Government steamer, from Mobile. He had the Insolent effrontery tO de mand a special vessel to carry his precious carcase. BUCHANAN had command of the navy yard at Washington when the rebellion com menced, and staid long enough to get all the - „ ,:nation he could, when he decamped. He expects •---• escape confiscation, inasmuch as iris Wife now owe, all his real estate This is Mrs. R. E. Lug's get back to Arling ton. These most excellent '-hivalry are such sweet fellows, they do not scrap,. io - nr,k oaths and betray information confided to them, and are adepts at using their wives' clothes or name to save their lives and their property, and their "sacred honor.” General Sam Jones. Among the other rebel worthies now at For tress Monroe is the notorious General SAM JONES, the swie who placed our gallant Union officers and fire at Charleston when the guns of our fleet and batteries were shelling the city. That most pious and hUmano hero also coolly asked a special vessel to convey himself, family, servants, prop.erty, &c., to the North, a favor which General GILMORE. politely declined. Now that we are engaged in trying to be merciful to the rebels, and seeking ex cuses for pardoning them, the graceful feat of General Jowes, i s plaaing the ff madsilla " of the North under the fire of their own guns, as a sort of refined retaliation, must not be for gotten. Probably the General will himself claim special grace, because, like the keeper of the Andersonville plague-house, he acted under orders! 313 y Assodated PreaS,) The Health of President Jrohnson. Owing to the continued sickness of Presi dent JOHNSON, the beads of Departments were formally notified that there would be no meet ing of the Cabinet to-day. The Colored Convention. The Colored Men's Convention to-day, at Alexandria, Va., adopted another address, setting forth the reasons why they are entitled to all the privileges of freemen. In the course of a discussion Governor Panneozrr was roughly censured, and accused of selling out the =grins at auction when he removed the sent of his Government to Richmond. A delegate said that. REIEPONT as the Governor ought to be respected, when another replied that no man was entitled to respect who did not respect the rights of colored men. An anonymous letter, postmarked Washing ton, was read, threatening, among other things, to put the principal leaders of the con vention under the sod before the falling of the autumn leaves, if they persisted in their object. This caused great excitement, and a fierce debate, but the speakers said they were not to be intimidated; and finally the letter was disposed of by throwing it under the table. The Cholera in Egypt. Consul General Hale, at Alexandria, Egypt, in an official despatch to the State Depart ment, gives a vivid picture of the ravages of the cholera in that city. There, were 1,755 deaths from June 27th to July 7th. It is esti mated that 30,000 persons have left Alexandria since the disease appeared, on the filth of June, up to July 7th. The most distressing reports are received from the interior.

Grant started on an excursion among the islands .in the harbor at 9.15 this morning, in the revenue steamer lifa honing. The party on board is very select, and limited, The day is pleasant, and the trip cannot but be delightful to the distinguished party. POUTLAND, Aug. 4..—The lilahoning returned and landed Gen. Grant and party at Atlantic street wharf at 2 o'clock, whence they walked to the. Grand Trunk depot through a dense crowd and cloud of dust, which rendered them almost indistinguishable, and perfectly dis gusted. They immediately entered a train of ears prepared for them, when a portion of the crowd made a rush for the General's car and made convulsive grabs at the hand extended from the window. Without a moment's delay the train started, and relieved the General, who appeared on the rear platform and bade the crowd adieu. GORHAM, N. H., Aug. 4.—Lieutenant General Grant and family and several prominent citi zens of Portland arrived here at 6.45 P. M. A large crowd of people met him at the depot, and he was escorted to the Alpine House, which is decorated with flags and mottoes. The General took a stand on the green terrace, and an address of welcome to the Granite Hills was made, after which he returned to supper. He leaves at 10 A. H. to-morrow for Quebec. _ FORTRESS MONROE. The Frigate Congress Raised—A Sutler Store at Newport News Plundered. FORTRESS Molter% August 3.—The old frigate Congress was raised to-day. At half-past eight o'clock the pumps were set at work on her, and at ten o'clock slit, commenced to raise, and by noon six feet of her hull was out of water. She was deeply embedded in the sand, and cannot be removed from its banks until high water, which will be at six o'clock this evening. The pumps, in the meantime, will easily keep her free from water. Mr. Brown, one of the contractors, immediately tele• graphed to Norfolk for steam power to tow the Congress to the dry-dock at the Gosport Navy Yard. She now draws nineteen feet of water. Last evening, at eight o'clock, the steamer COSSACK put into Newport Fewii for coal, hay ing on board the Ist Maine regiment 15f Ca -miry. As soon as they landed, - the soldiers commenced stealing goods from the store Of Nicholas White, the post sutler at that place, and before the Cossack left, they had nearly cleaned out the store, carrying off goods to tho.amount of about $7,000. The Cossack is at anchor ab Fortress Monroe, and it is under stood she, with her troops, will be ordered back to Newport News to adjust the damages. The 180 captured gang were sold at auction to-day, by order of the Secretary of War. The average price received for cast-iron guns was Dye-eighth cents per pound ; for wrought-iron guns, one and one•eighth cents ; and for brass pieces, twenty-nine cents. BALTIMORE.

The Story about the Attempted Ab• &action or Sanders a Hoax—The Vacant Premiership. NEW You', August 4.—A special Montreal despatch to the Commercial Advertiser:says the story of the attempted abduction of Sanders is an unmitigated hoax. The inevitable Foote is there, looking seedy, and a mere relic of the former blusterer. The vacant Premiership excites. great in.. rest, and the Hon. John .2.1a - litacDorgild: is Pointed at by public opinion as the successor of Tacue. It is probable that Belleau or Canehon ivui receive the vacant Cabinet all polnunOst. The confederation scheme is regarded with iudifference by the-people. Lynch Law in Iftainna. TERRI: HAUTE, Indiana, Aug net 4.—Yester any a paroled rebel prisoner, named Miller, who had induced a Mr. Gregory, proprietor of the Spencer House, in Louisville, to visit Shel burn, Sullivan county, twenty miles below this city, under pretence of selling him some land, attacked Gregory murderously in the woods near Shelburn, beat him nearly to dsath, gmhhed him 80 - erg times, and robbed him of ninety dollars and his watch. The people turned out, caught Miller, had him identified by Gregory, and hung him on a tree near the 'spot where his crime was com mitted. Faint hopes are entertained of Gre gory's recovery. Riot at Aequia Creek. BALTIMORE, Aug. 4.—The Richmond Republic of to-day says a riot took place at - Acquia Creek on Tuesday last, between the whites and blacks employed there.
