The fate from which we were fortunately saved, can only be averted from South America by the pa triotism, prudence, and wise statesmanship of her people and statesmen. TUE FATORARLE RESULT of the Ken tucky elections, particularly in Louisville, will be hailed throughout the whole North as a promising sign of the progress of truth and justice in the Southern States. The world still moves, after all, and there are cases in which even the prejudices of old slaveholders and old slaveholding com munities can be overcome. If Kentucky has resolved to adopt the Constitutiopal amendment, and thus shown by the votes of her own citizens a desire to make an earnest attempt to inaugurate free labor, she has taken an advance step that will greatly promote her material interests. She will soon be richly compensated for the old nominal value of her slaves, by the en hancement in value of her property, and the increase of the products of her soil. The full returns of the State have not yet been received, but enough is known to prove beyond a doubt that the whole ten dency of public sentiment is favorable to a free and unreserved recognition of emanci pation with all its consequences - , and to a sincere attempt to commence a new career on the industrial basis which has given such a mighty impetus to the great free commonwealths of Ohio, Indiana, and Il linois. A CORRESPONDENT eloquently and forci bly urges upon the approaching Union State Convention the justice and import flACC of selecting two gallant soldiers as its candidates for Auditor and Surveyor *G-ene ral. .We cordially endorse his recommen dation. Gratitude, policy, and patriotism unite in demanding the selection of hei•oes of the war as standard-bearers in our poli tical campaigns. The example of Ohio in nominating General Cox, and of the Union men of Louisville in nominating General ROUSSEAU, cannot be too frequently fol lowed. It 'points out to us a sure path to victory, which we should be willing and anxious to tread. WASHINGTON. THE FIRST CABINET MEETING IN TEN BAYS HELD YESTERDAY. Our Government in no way Connected with the Attempted Abduc tion of Sanders, WASHINGTON, August 8, 138 Cabinet Meeting-. The President met his Cabtact to-day for the first time in ten days, and held a pro tracted session. The Attempted Capture of Sanders. Whatever truth may attach to the telegram about the attempted abduction of GEORGE N. SANDERS, it is certain that nobody in Wash ington prompted the proceeding. If the Go vernment desired to obtain possession of it would make application for his surrender under the extradition treaty. Internal Revenue Decision. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has ruled that a duly licensed commercial broker may negotiate a sale of liquors from one dealer to another without additional license. but if at any time the liquors shall be in his custody, or under his control, he will require• a license as a liquor dealer on account of such. negotiation or sale.

The dining-rooms arc decorated in gorgeous style, the porch is festooned with flags, ane the coat-of-arms of all the States are intertwined wit the na tional emblems. An immense croivd of per sons are in attendance, and everybody seems to have given him or herself up to the enjoy ment Of the hour.

Leaning on his arm is the Queen of Song, clad in a white satin robe, her hair and water fall studded with humming birds of beautiful plumage, while the festoonings of her rich robe are gathered in the bills of small canary birds, which are fastened on the ample folds of her flowing dress; and there, sailing away in all the mazy intricacies of the dance, is a newspaper reporter, attired as the De mon of the Lake, in a suit made of scaly ar mor and wearing an enormous pointed cap, with a little fountain playing at intervals; While another jaunty little female, attired as, a Highland lass, is coquettishly running away from,poor Robinson Crnsoe,in his goatskin coat and cap.

Pickwick, - who has been in close communion all evening with the Tycoon of Japan. King Lear is at the bar sucking a mint julep. The Flower Girl of Venice has succeeded in towing old Neptune to the centre of the rooms, in the midst of the circle of dancers, and has placed a chaplet of rich flowers upon his shags gy head. The Queen of Night, in all her dark though brilliant coloring, unites in a plain waltz with the Queen of Day, and sails Proudly away to the rear end of the lawn. The Jack of Spades has captured the Queen of, Hearts, and John Smith was last seen under a Booth, playing sasond-flddle to the Peep-o" day Boys. Mephistopheles is hopping about with Paul Pry, and gazes grimly on the scene before Min. Nancy Sykes has linked arms with a pretty little Quakeress, who seemed to be in love with Icriss Kingle, who hag very kindly pre sented her with a basket of monkeys and rag babies, gotten up expressly for the occasion. Marguerite, with her winning smile and pleasant face, hits taken a fancy to the Gum Man, whose head is ornamented with an im mense India rubber shoe. The Pearl of Beauty has gone to the Doge of yentee and asked per mission to marry Captain Cuttle, with his quid and hook. Ingomar was last seen in the arms of Jupiter, and Parthenia and , Titania make the air musical with selections from the Night Owl and the Rose of Sharon. Brig hem Young has linked arms with a Sister of Charity, and is now going through a fancy Irish jig, to the tune of the Groves of Killarney. Evangeline is surrounded by a host of ad mirers who have pinned their cards to her flawing robe, wnien is completely hidden with them. The Queen of Money, clad in n coat of mail made .out of new three-cent pieces, with a border of gold dollars, and her hair orna- Merited with greenback ribbons and postal currency, reigns supremely at the end of the saloon while a host Of people wait her every motion_ yen the GoOd-fOr!nothing, is doing some_ thing. She has secured a prominent position at a side window. Her long, black hair float jug over her broad shoulders, her dress of plain muslin, tucked up with evergreen, and hung on brass buttons ) makes her quite con spicuous. She amuses herself with throwing Pennies at every person who gazes upon her. She has, up to this moment, relieved herself of several hundred pieces of metal, and pro- . raises to double that sum before the carnival is over. La Dame Blanche is enjoying a private Chat Pith Robin Adair in a corner. Arran Wu rogue bus been stowed away under the table aki a failure, ansl, Peg woington 4,4 consented to-appear for this night only in that favorite character.

The cOrrespontlence relating to the mis.. 'sion would be laid before Parliamentfor its con sideration. < He hoped ere long the provinces would adopt thc scheme of Federal Union. The happy termination of the civil war in the United States could not fall to exercise a,bene ileial influence on the commercial and indus trial Interests Of the Province, and they might trust that the re-establishment of peace would lead to a constantly increasing development of the friendly relations between the Cana dian people and the citizens of the Greatfte ' piddle.

Freights declined 10.Nic. • The Times' City of Mexico correspondence, of the 11th nit, says that the French organs state that "it will require 100,000 more men to destroy the bands of Suarists." The rising of the people daily takes larger dimensions, and the reports of French successes are unfounded. General Alvarez has just inflicted a heavy blow on the Imperialists at Yepalla, com pletely routing them and taking three pieces of artillery. Great disappointment is felt at the failure•of tbe - combirred French and Imperialist forces against Negreti, in the pass of Buena Vista. Cortes reigns supreme from Matamoras to Monterey.

RALEIGH, August 3.—Parties -arriving here from different parts Of the State say there is.a great change in the conduct pf the rebel soldiers. Their complete submission and good intentions to the Government for the first few weeks after the collapse of the rebel lion challe.nged the admiration of all loyal men; but, since the wholesale dieplaY of clemency to rebel leaders of wealth and in fluence, this treaehereaS and arrogant class have poisoned the soldiers against the Union, and are now organizing them for a political conflict with the Government, and war against Union men and the negroes. They are having everything their "own way in- Aesignating delegates to the Convention, which they expect soon to be mom Unless the Government interferes, and excludes these leaders from participating in this body, the trim Union men will ]lave nothing to do with its deliberations, which they claim will result in a farce, and ruin all who are associated With it. Y. Moore and other wealthy citizens in Newham are soon to erect in that city one of the largest hotels in the United States. NASHVILLE.

PISUING, nY THE ELECTRIC LIGHT, — The cour rier de Iketagne, a paper published at Lorient, gives an interesting account of an experiment made at Belle Isle last week, to fish at night, by means of electric light. The light was pro duced by a powerful electro-magnetic machine constructed by M. Bazin, the well-known en gineer. The experiment, which was conduct ed by M. Bazin on board the Andalouse, in the presence of fifteen hundredpersons assembled on the pier, was completely successful, and the quantity of fish taken very large. A per son present states that nothing, can be more ex citing than fishing at sea by night with the aid of this light. As soon as the submarine lan tern was immersed, shoals of - Ash of every kind Came to sport in the illuminated circle, while the fishermen outside it Spread their nets from their boats. The light illnniinatfng the deep sea, the fish arriving in shoals, attracted by the fictitious sun, the boats at the edge of the lighted circle, the deelp silence,. interrupted only by thegratiy . tg of the electro-magneticmachine, is described as an imposing sight. la. Baran is shortly to proceed to Bona, in Al geria, to establish a coral fishery by the assist ance of his electric light. _fie proposes in the meantime to descend four hundred feet into the sea, and explore what be calls "the depths of the ocean , with his submarine instruments.

The St. Louis .Republienn says: Gene ral Herron, who has last arrived' in this city from the Military Division of the Gulf, gives us some information which will correct an error that is generally, if not universally, pre valent throughout the North. It is in relation to the removal of late rebel soldiers to-Mexico, with the intention of taking part in the con test by which that unfortunate country is still distracted: Being just from Shreveport where he received the surrender of the bulk of Kirby Smith's army, and where he was brought into contact with rebels of every rank, he is, of course, enabled to speak advisedly. Instead of the seven or eight thousand Illissourians who are said tohave accompanied Shelby beyond the Rio Grande, that officer was followed, it seems, by a scanty band of two hundred. Their purpose, as well as their leaders, was to join not Dlaximilian, as has been reported, but Juarez and the Liberal cause. Other parties of rebels who imitated Shelby, Missourians and men from seceded States, will not exceed a few 'hundred in num ber, all told. Like the former, they designed to cast their swords into the scale against Maximilian, and the French and Austrian con tingents by whom he is supported. This, he says, :is the purpose of all rebels who have sought or may seek a hand in the military affairs of Mexico. " Their 'motive in siding with the Liberal party is one of resentment toward Louis Na poleon, who so grievously disappointed their hopes of intervention against the United States, in the contest from which they have just emerged. A partial revenge, they now think, is attainable by expelling his protege frorrildexican soil, and they will do their best to brill about such a result. Others upon whom this motive did not operate, expressed a willingness to go, out of pure regard for the principle of the Monroe doctrine, and thought that all interlopers upon American soil ought to be driven off. "Sterling Price is in Texas with his family, and entertains no idea of going to Mexico. tt is not improbable that he may return to Mis souri at?no distant day. Gen. Monroe M. Par sons has also located in Texas, for the purpose Of practicing law. Gen. Churchill, who was captured originally at Arkansas Post, together with Buckner, Bragg, and Beauregard, are in New Orleans, none of them thinking of re maining Vermanently away from the United States. Gen. Churchill expresses a wish to go to Europe, to remain a limited time abroad." TUE SARATOGA RACER The racing season at Saratoga commenced On Monday.

A correspondent of the New York limes writes from Louisville: 4 . Captain Henry Wertz, late keeper of the Andersonville prison, whose trial at Washing ton, as announced recently, has been post polled by the authorities, passed through this city a few weeks since, on his way to the na tional capital. An immortality of infamy must ever attach to his name, as belonging to one of the chief instruments of the inhuman tortures and barbarities systematically in flicted upon our noble soldiers whom the fate of war subjected to that accursed durance. 6 ' Thisperson was formerly a resident of Louisville and "in the employ; fourteen years ago, of Dr.'D. Caspar', a highly respected Ger man homoeopathist of this city. The doctor:at that time kept a water-cure establishment at the corner of Guthrie and Second streets. Wertz had charge of the bath.% and, to some extent, of the books of the establishment, being authorized to make out and collect bills that were due. Dr. Caspari represents him as a fawning, cringing, Uriah-licep' sort of fel low, at this time, with a sneaking look, as if afraid to meet the scrutiny of an honest face. He did not, however, suspect him of further dishonesty at first. But presently he found his accounts running short. Moneys that should be received were not. The matter was carefully , investigated,. and the result found to he that Wertz had for a considerable time collected bills, appropriating what he had received to his own use, and making false entries in the books, to cover up the deceit he was practising. The-doctor taxed Wertz with the fraudulent acts. The man confessed, and without other punishment inflicted on him, he was peremptorily dismissed from the este blisinnent. " The fellow took his way to MieSieSippi, to the plantation of a former patient of Dr. Cas parl, at his water-cure here, by the name of Marshall, and, putting on a bold face, stated that he had become a hoinceopathie doctor,and purposed to settle in Mississippi, to practice his profession. The story was not distrusted. The planter's family received him cordially, aided him with their influence, which was im portant in the section, and the consequence was that he axed himself in the neighborhood, to doctor people whO, there as elsewhere often mistake plausibility for skill, and acquired a lucrative practice, so his acquaintances in Louisville were astonished to hear. Beyond this, nothing , had been heard here for several years of Dr. Henry Wertz. 1. " One Sunday two or three weeks ago, a car riage drove up to the door of Dr. Caspari, and a message was received that a person in the carriage desired to see the doctor. On an swering the summons Dr, Caspari found in the carriage, in charge or one of our gallant cap tains, a rebel prisoner, wan, haggard, and woe begone in appearance, wrapped up in a tat tered gray blanket, which only partially concealed a more tattered condition under neath. The man requested the doctor to give him some decent clothing, stating that he had just Come in from Nashville, and was a rebel prisoner on his way to WaShillgtOU, Dr. Caspari, who is one of the staunchest 'Union men in Louisville, -and the kindest hearted man in the world, directed the cloth ing 1o be furnished at once, but supposed the prisoner had mistaken his house, perhaps, for that of a rebel sympathizer. fine prisoner then said; 'You don't recollect me, doctor?' The reply was in the negative, Don't you remember Henry Wertz, that lived with -- you and tended the bath's fountain, years ago? I am Henry Wertz, lately the keeper of the An dersonville prison, now bound to Washington to be tried for mY life.' The recognition was perfect, but the good doctor stood aghast at the information. He had never heard a syllable of his former employee being pro moted to the post he so long and solgnobly filled, and to meet him now, these Cir cumstances, astonished him beyondmeasure. The prisoner explained further that he was brought, after his capture, through Chatta nooga ; that there he was recognized by some soldiers, who laid violent hands on him, beat him, broke his arm (he carries it now in a' sling), nearly tore off all his clothes, and but for the energetic efforts of his escort and some guards present they would have taken his life on the spot. " The wretched man received from the doc tor's humanity a thorough refit ; shoes, stock ings, shirt, pantaloons, vest, coat, even a hat, to replace the fragments he wore." Tat BLACK POPULATION OP TUB SoUTITErtN STA-rms.—An interesting* table, exhibiting the numerical strength of the - white and black race in the Southern States, computed from the census of 1860, exhibits the following facts : In Alabama there are thirty-two counties in which - the white population preponderates, A5lll twenty in which the blacks are in the ma jority. In Florida but bin out of twenty-one show a preponderance of blacks, In Arkansas the proportion is still smaller, the blacks being most numerous in only six out of forty-nine counties. Georgia, however, shows but eighty nine counties in which the whites predomi nate, there . being forty-three in which the blacks are in excess. Louisiana exhibits the fact that there arc but fifteen counties, out of forty-eight, in which the whites are in a mat: jorityi South Carolina but ten out of thirty, and Mississippi twenty.nine out of sixty. In North Carolina the counties stand sixty-seven white to twenty-six black; Texas one In - mitred and thirty-eight white to sixty-three black; Maryland, seventeen white to six hlac - ki glide, one hundred and four white to torty three black. This was the condition prior to the war. Were a census taken this year, it would doubt less show great local changes, but the popu lation of 'blacks to whites would not be ma terially different. The war has doubtless re duced the aggregate population, but its withering et has been felt on the white more than on the black race. The Border States have lost much of their negro popu lation, by escape to the free States, enlist ments in the Federal service, and migration to States farther South. In the Cotton States the negro population has multiplied rather than decreased. ThollSalniS Of negroes from Virginia Tennessee, and other Bortler States, were sent there by their owners for safe, keep ing, and still remain there. RETURIBIKi Itinreta.—On Saturday afternoon of last week, says the Hagerstown Herald, two young - bloods, named George Shearer and Cla- Fr it Fitzhngh, late of the rebel army, drove' into Hagerstown in a wagon, and stepped at the City Hotel, where they registered their names in large letters, as follows: Major George Shearer, Confederate States Army; Captain C. Fitzhugh, do. After taking a drink at the bar they proceeded to call upon their acquaintances of former dayS, but they were speedily waited upon by two members of the Vigilance Committee and politely informed. that if they Consulted Their personal safety they would leave town as soon as possible. Acting on this mild suggestion they took their leave, and have not since been heard from. We have been informed that Fitzhugh is a Pennsylvanian by birth, but was residing in this county at the time the rebellion broke out. Major (1) Shearer is a native of York county, Pennsylvania, but, we believe, joined .the rebel army from this State. He was taken prisoner last summer near this place, while attempting a raid on the town. He is not per sonally popular in this region, and we are doubtful whether General Grant's parole, or any other parole, would be suffielept to 1140 our people respect his " egizto " • RECONSTRUCTION - OF TEXAS. Proclamation of Governor' Hamilton. Governor Hamilton has issued• a Proclama tion addressed to the people of his State, in which he announces that he Intends to ap point civil officers to administer the amnesty oath prescribed by the President The State Convention will thee be called, but no one will be eligible to s, seat therein v or to vote for members thereto, who shall not havelaken the said oath. The Convention is to amend the present laws and Constitution of the State, or frame new ones, and also repeal all. acts inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States, which have been passed since the ordinance of secession. The Governor concludes his Proclamation as follows : The people of the State are invited to en gagein the work of reconstructing local go vernment for themselves. I come, tendering, ill the name of the United States, amnesty for the past, security and freedom for the future. Every . generous heart will feel, and every can did mind admit, that the Government of the t to rli h te u t M lS i t l a ia t t e e s Seeks i n ); tl p a le nd o h f ae t n h e e ve s e ou go th ugh i t t , but asks them to be friends rather than ene mies. _ - Conquering the rebellion, the first use it makes of the power it possesses is to relieve the people from the legal consequences of their act of rebelliOn, and invite them to oc cupy, by their own act, their former position in the Union. I shall not waste time or labor in the atteinot to soothe those whose hearts are sore became of the extinction of slavery. It died because it made war upon the Government to whose protection it owed its power and influence. e which ssi n— a ut n it li g it r e a u pp o l f ed n l o vit c l o i n fr c e i EAT , n i , n n a o s pe concession r n i e t truce or neutrality—its challenge was to mor tal combat and in the struggle it went down forever. Thiere are those, I am told, who pro. fess to believe that it is not yet extinct; that it still lingers, and by a vigorous application of stimulants may be kept in existence for some years to come ; that the proclamation of emancipation was but a military order,.which has now spent its force since the war is over and never bad any effect except where, by the presence of Union armies, there was physical power to enforce it. There could be no greater delusion than this, and the man or men who encourage such opinions, if such there are, could not do the citizens of Texas, at this time, a greater dis.service. If the rebellion is con quered, slavery is dead one is as much a fact us the other. The negroes are not only free, but I beg to assure my fellow-citizens -that the Govern ment will protect them in their freedom. For the time being, the freedmen are recom mendedfreasotnoabelnegcaognei 1 1 ) v e illi at t i i o e n iT t f o o l i a m bo e i r • a nt a I s e t e a s r s t till the Close of the season for gathering the ptesent crop. For them, generallv„ to do Other wise would be greatly to the injury of them selves and the community at large. But let it be understood that combinations among those interested in securing their labor to prevent them from hiring to persons who will pay the best price for, such labor, and to ostracise in society those Who oppose such combinations, will meet with no favor at the hands of the people or Government of the United States. And candor compels me to say to the people of Texas that if in the action of the proposed convention the negro is characterized or treated as less than a freeman our Senators i and Representatives will seek n vain admis sion to the halls of Congress. It is indeed strange that men should take a solemn oath to faithfully abide by all lawS and proclama tions which have been made during the exist ing rebellion with reference to the emancipa tion of slaves, and in the - next breath favor gradual emancipation. It is the part of wis dom and the part of duty to accept what is inevitable without resistance, and recognize truth however unpalatable. I could not, if I were to attempt it, satisfy those who are not willing to believe it, that slavery was never a good s and emancipation not an evil. A few men in the South differ with the whole civilized world upon that sub ject, and I suppose that most of that few will go down to their graves sore and complain ing ; but, in the meantime, those who realize that a new era has dawned upon us, and who take advantage of the present, will leave far in the background the mourners over the past glory of slavery. •Texas has to-day her future destiny in her own hands. Let her use power wisely, and she need not limit her power and influence in the future of our country. In the effort to aid you in the reorganization of the civil Government I shall be guided and controlled by no personal feeling, do nothing out of malice, and fear of blame. i s e l t r -I n g i , g t f li r a o t m th n e c' e t i p n e g rte r l ° le n 'L e of the last fourears has prepared the mind of a majority of the- people for dispassionate thought and enlightened judgment, I shall fearlessly challenge their scrutiny of all I may do or attempt. I hope to merit the approba tion of those who are devoted to the princi ples of freedom and equality in government; and difficult and delicate as I know the task assigned me to be, still, with the aid and en couragement of the , loyal men of Texas, it may successfully be accomplished. It would afford me great pleasure to meet as many of the loyal men from different sections of the State as can make it convenient to visit the capital of the State, to confer with me upon the present and future of our state, and I now most cordially invite them to do SO.

Governor Parsons is quite popular. Business has revived to a considerable extent in cities and large towns. The colored people are deporting themselves well in nio,q parts of the State.

Strong, writing; froin Vieksburg to the Freed man's Bureau, says that so far us the negroes are under direction of the Government au thorities they are succeeding admirably ; but in the remote localities in the interior the old masters are endeavoring to suppress the idea among their negro hands that the emancipa tion is tcl be effective in their case, or that they are not as completely enslaved as before. 114- fairs in such vicinities are represented to be unsatisfactory to the masters and the be wildered negroes. Official information has reached the above Bureau that General Thomas has his subordi nate officers located in every county in the State of Mississippi save those immediately upon the gulf. By reason of this, oppression Of the negroes will be of rare occurrence in that state, as the boldest of the Vellgefal planters have a wholesome regard for the pre sence of governmental authorities. A RIOT AT GREENWICH, CONN. MARRIAGE OP A COLORED MAN WITH A WHITE WOMAN--INDIGNATION OP A PORTION OP THE rwrx. - E—tincv MOB THE REB/DPICE, AND ONE OF Tara/ IS SHOT DEAD BY THE WONA.ift The little town of Greenwich, Connecticut, has been thrown into a perfect fever of excite ment, in consequence of an affray between a party of whites and a colored man, named ilenry Davenport, in which a recently-dis charged soldier wag instantly killed, The eir eunistances, we are informed, arc as follows: Two years ago Henry Davenport, a man well known and esteemed by his neighbors for his marked probity of character, wood and won the affections of a white damsel, and in due time the twain were made one flesh. It roused the ire of some of the indignant villaers that a white woman should so tar forget her honor and her race as to ally herself with one of the bated sons of Ham, and soon after the mar riage, frightened by their threats, he removed to New York. A few weeks ago, thinking that the affair had blown over, they returned to their home. When this became known, the. villagers prepered to carry their old threats into execution. Accordingly on Saturday night, a motley crowd proceeded to visit his dwelling with the intention of administering to him a coat I of tar and feathers, while against his wife many threats too vile for repetition were ex pressed or darkly hinted at. Upon reaching the house, they found Haven- Pori and his family had retired, In response to their knocks, his mother, a very old woman, rose and asked what they wanted. They an swered, "Some ice-cream. Upon- being in formed that none was to be had, they de manded that Mr. Davenport and his Wife should confide themselves to their tender keeping. Upon this being . refused, and the Mon warned away, they inDaediately com menced stoning the house, and endeavored i 4 break in the door, yelling, "Drag her out," "kill the nigger," "roast them," etc., etc. Becoming seriously alarmed, the old. woman I requested. her son to hand her the musket, which was, in fact a blunderbuss of the most antique pattern. flits she protruded from the - window and—threatened to fire, but the only answer was a shower of stones. She tired two shots, the first being harmless,the second taking effect upon a returned vete ran named Dude Shade, who was almost in stantly killed. This sobered the rioters, and they beat a hasty retreat, making no further demonstrations. Davenport was immediately arrested, a jury exurannelled, and every effort made to impute Maine to him and to his family for the part they had enacted,but with out success. Yesterday afternoon the jury returned a verdict of "justifiable homicide," and Daven port was released. from arrest.

This may be the principal reason why he is, retained in. place, after his Greenville speech, for we must say that the more we think of the speech referred to, the more we are obliged,to con demn it. Some portions of it are et a highly incendiary character, and no good excuse can be given for delivering. such sentiments at this late day, when prominent men, instead of exciting, should endeavor to allay the public mind. Governor Johnson, of Georgia, can boast of a good record as a Unionist. lie is completely in harmony with the National Administration on all vital issues.

The work of reorganization is thus properly inauguratpd at the south, and we have rea sons to know that there Will be no intentional departure from the plan of restoration indi cated in their appointments. In Georgia, at least, there will be no lack of able men to carry on the affairs of govern ment. Men who belong to the class of states men that ought to control the reorganized State government; who will, both by example and precept, promote harmony in the public councils. Men whose past history warrants the belief that they will countenance no scheme of State politics that will embroil the Union, or that will estrange and alleviate one section of the common country from another. Let the people nominate and elect men of this character for every position of power and influence, and we need have no fears of the public safety, A Remarkable Story—A Woman Two Days Alloat on a Spar with an taut.

The wife, young and expecting Wanly to become a mother, was not discouraged about the uncertainty of her husband's fate, but pre- Pared for her own safety. Self-preservation could not suppress her womanly instincts so far as to ignore the feeble cries of an infant only fourteen days old, left to perish by its distracted parents ; but, regardless of her own State, she plunged, with her self-imposed charge, into the sea. For two whole days did this brave young girl, support herself and the Infant on the remnant support a ship's spar, without food or water, sustaining the infant's life by the moisture of her own mouth. Late on the second day the same vessel in which her husband was saved, having ceased cruising, without hope of rescuing more Life, fell in with this heroine, and saved her and her little charge. Eventually the family were landed at Havre, France. The Prussian Con sul at that port took the charge of the infant, as its parents were supposed to have been lost with the wreck. 3.lane ladies at Havre interested:themselves to enable this brave young creature, with her 11USballd, again to venture to cross the At lantic in search of a western home. Destitute of everything necessary as an outfit, having lost all, the kindness of the ladies at Havre was doutless most acceptable. This heroine of real life, during her recent voyage in the Bellona, gave birth to a child. Dr. Elewitt, the surgeon of the Bellona, has kinaly offered to give authentic information regarding this woman, as he pOSSGAgeg dom• ments establishing the truth of the facts. GENERAL Gl:Arm—The Harrisburg IP/syrups., of Saturday, says : Our Harrisburg copper heads, with an. audacity peculhas to that spe cies of snake, called, while at New Cumber land, on Major General John W. Geary. After the gallant hero had received his visitors, ex tending to , them the eeartesies of a soldier, and bidding them welcome cordially to his plain hospitalities, the most impertinent of the pair of malignants who bad thus intruded on the besieger and conqueror of Savannah, intro duced politics, and commenced ventilating his obnoxious notions of what was right and " Democratic." The negro was bitterly be. rated—emancipation was denounced as a Our pation—the " rights " of the South were partic ularly magnifled—and many mean expres sions made by both our Harrisburg Cops, in which discreet men, to say nothing of gentle men, would have refrained from indulging. General Geary took the insults (for they were nothing less) of his visitors coolly for a few moments, but the audacity of these Cops soon exhausted his patience. " Sirs," suddenly ex. claimed the chafed hero, steadily looking his visitors in the face, until the countenances of the Copperheads fairly blanched beneath the gaze of - the soldier's ; " Sirs, I Ihavel hung traitors for saying less than you have just ut tered against your country !" Then bursting like a 'Winder cloud with anger and: indign?.- tion and suddenly drawing himself up to his full grand height, the soldier of wars de nounced his insulters as cravens and traitors, ordering them leave his premises, and threatening, if they delayed, to kick them from the room. The rebuke was overwhelm ing. Abashed and humiliated the Harrisburg. Cops hurried away, satisfied that it was dan gerous to talk treason In the nearing and presence of John W. Geary.

The little fellow, discovering the peril in which he was placed, bent all his ener gies to escape. Fortunately, Just as the shark was preparing to seize his urey, a baited hook and lino was thrown from the end of the pier to the monster, who immediately relinquished the chase, seized the line, and being securely hooked, was drawn ashore amid the plaudits of the spectators.

A German who had been employed as a laborer on the road, was about the plitee in a state Of intoxi cation. He had climbed upon the locomotive two or three times, and was put off by the en gineer. Taking advantage of the absence of the engineer, he mounted the locomotive and opened the:throttle-valve. The engine started down the branch towards the main track, and just then the steamboat express Came up from the east. A Collision Was inevitable. The man who had started the engine saw the dm ger,jumpedto the ground and ran away. The locomotives met, smashing both pretty badly. The engine of the passenger train was thrown from the track, together with the tender end baggage ears and the passengers were some whatjarred: The engineer and fireman j amp ea and saved themselves, No one ,Veta Injured in the least. The train was delayed three hours or more by the accident. As soon as the train stopped, half a dozen persons who saw the movement gave chase to the author of the mis chief and brought him back.
