It has almost been drowned in a sea -of quotation& In its anxiety to make-out a case against "Occa sional," it took a text from the Chronicle, charged it to one of these letters, and then. hung upon it a string of extracts from them 26 prove "hostility to the Administration." While I ask of you to ;reprint the Cl6ronide's tleserved castigation of the Intelligeneer, I cannot ..withhold the utterance of my thanks to the:latter - for . giving such copious passages from my writings.. The habit of misquoting is chronic-withlhe intetligeneer, and has been- more titan once exposed and thaatised. It .is at -best ' a miserable. weakness, that -of-attempting to prove a Fault upon an -adversary by tearing his :ententes away from the body of his argu ment, and commenting upon what, in, their real place, conveyed -a wholly different meaning. This practice is so cheaply in dulged in that any. malignant and narrow mind may become- an -expert. It has so near a relation to downright forgery that it was easy. for the. inta/liaeneer, in order to., prove upon " Occasional " a purpose foreign to his heart; to mistake what was in the Chronicle for his- own production ! In this correspondence mistakes are as likely to happen as in any , other similar reflections IliVn passing events' , in a daily paper ;'but even the dishonorable ingenuity of the In telligencer cannot; pekert my sincere mo tives. Especially is it a ridiculous false hoed that I would - repel what is called "Democratic snpport" from President Johnson's , restoration policy. I can easily understand why a zewspaper which grew old, and crabbed, and suspicious, in assist ing the Democracy-in its best days—the (lays of Jackson more especially, who was the earliest embodiment of aggressive Union ism and ti•enchanthate of Treason—should ecli to cover its wretchedness with the cast-off. garments of modern Demoeraey, For now the" Democracy, as understood by those with-whom the Intelligences sympa thizes, is the synonym of aristocracy—and thcre,bas been no slave more slavish to a Lad passion than, during a generatioa of jeurnalism, the‘latelligencer has been to the artificial artietocraey ; first of wealth, as in the Dank of the United States, and after wards' of slavery, as in its timid. and 'time serving course-before the rebellion, and for a long time -afterwards. There is not an im enitent rebel in the South, from Jeff Davis john - Iditchel—from the gentle Wertz in 1:;e Old Capitol to the humane Dick Turner 11 Richmond—who does not claim to be "a Democrat," an original, and, of course, a persecuted one. These are the In t, fiigencer's Democrats. For, mark you! _he Andrew Johnson Democrat, of whom my most octogenerian critic is not so enamored, were its especial horror until the "radical" Senator and. " arbitrary" Governor Imam e President ; when, presto, there Wai a change as marked as if the newspaper enemy of tile great war neasures lie sustained had been born anew. Now, if the Intelligence). has an leheritea regard for the new DemocraeY, •which is simply slave Aristocracy, I profess !la inherited regard for the old Democracy taught by Jefferson, and fought for by Jackson. And so far from driving off Democrate of that kind from the support President Johnson in his great efforts to restore the Union, I would encourage and honor, and welcome them. In fact, a large body of this class Of men gave their strong will, clear billing, and unselfish patriotism to Abra ham Lincoln, a Whig, elected without and against their votes, 'When the false Demo flats of the South sought to manacle him that they might Minder the Republic. And it would be unnatural if I did not re joice to see them eiving their strong and valuable aid to Andrew Johnson, one of their own original household, and to in voke all of the same school to kohl up and strengthen his hands in the nOW eompli= cations produced by the overthrow of the r ebellion.

[From the Washington Chroniele of Saturday. 3 We unintentionally gave great offence, to Our venerable neighbor, the Bgettigencer, a few days ago, by the following editorial remark: "The bare suggestion of the idea - that the President would betray the friends who elected him is a base calumny, which, if not Unworthy his notice, would be answered with indignant scorn." This remark, which our senile .eotemporary confounds with a letter from "Occasional," was made in. reply to the New York Daily News, Tlint,outspoken organ of treason had deliberately discussed the question under the beading, "Let us get Andrew Johnson,” dud approved the idea, provided the President could be brought over to its platform. Our com ment concluded as follows : "When it is remem bared that what the News Styles:the ' Demo cratic Platform Platforfn> consists of two planks, viz.: slavery and treason, the reader will fully are predate the insolence of the proposition.” This attempt of The Chronicle to repel the insolence of an avowed traitor, the Inlelligeneer an nounees as a covert attack on the policy of President Johnson. The sensitiveness of the late McClellan organ on a matter affecting the Character of its coadjutor, the Daily :Yews, can be well understood ; but in assuming to be the champion and defender of President Johnson, after devoting four long years to the work of omdermining the AdminiStratiOn of his friend and predecessor, the illustrious Abraham Lin coln, it can only be characterized as jesuitical hypocrisy. But in order that the reader may judge for himself of the chagrin of the Lakin geneer caused by our denunciation of Ben. Wood's insolent proposition " toget President Johnson" on the Copperhead platform, We quote the whole of its remarks on this point, as -follows Notwithstanding that President Johnsiin, also all men of whom our history has record, has made the old Bentonian motto of "Union, harmony, conciliation, concelsion? his deter mined policy, yet we see, under a variety of pretences and disguises, a Constant Wind and tide of hostility to that policy from a quarter where charity, forgiveness, candor, and kind ness should be most cherished, most incul cated, most urged, most enforced. It is an old trick of politicians to put words in the mouths of opponents, or assume some thing false of them in order to have pretences Mr attack. Thus "Occasional" menaces the President because some Democrats are sup porting a measure or measures of his policy that are obnoxious to the radical destructives. What to a Just man would seem to be cause for thankfulness to high Heaven, namely: the ac claim of the country for the President.of a union of ]hearts, bands, and states, is fraught with indescribable tenon to that sort of politicians who, for the sake.of oflice and patronage, sink country for party. With this feeling "Occa sional," under the mask of defending - the Pre sident, throws out the following u menace: " The bare suggestion of the idea that the President would betray the friends who elected him is a base calumny, which, if not unworthy his notice, Would be answered with indignant scorn." There has been latterly a great deal of Ms stale sort of party trick, as well as that other form of dictation, a constant prescribing of policy for the President,. under „the form of what must be hie views, The natural inference, from thoexcitedteno Of the Intelligencen.is that it Mabee'' , weak enough to lend itself to the preposterous and impudent scheme of the News. The assertion that the Chronicle, or that any friend of the . President, is disposed to repel the- support of honest Democrats is simply false. On , the con trary, we have always been prompt towelcome such support, although it COmes.after the elec tion., What we did was to•resent the insulting suggestion of a notorious organ of treason, that the President could be induced•togo over to its platform of policy. The Intelligencer un iniStaliably shows its own sympathies-when it takes up the cudgel for the News: As to the poor attempt to point out dis crepancies between the letters -of. "Occit. sional" and the editorials in the Chronicte, it may pass for st - bat it is worth. It amounts only to this 'that in the one ease "Occa- Sional rebukes rebel violence and-insolence, and in the other, the editorial, in general terms, speaks of the acquiescence Of the South ern people in the results of the war. It would he easy to show, on the other hand, severe ethterial criticism upon the conduct of South ern men, parallel with charitable remarks in the letters of " Occasional, ,, upon other phases ,of Southern affairs ; and in each case our co temporary would only display its character istic puerility. The inteiligencer is also much exercised by " Occasional's') denunciation of the " Copper head expedient' , "to demand admission into Congress of representatives from the late rebel States, elected by such bitter rebels as lately threw their ballots in Richmond, Vir ginia. It. is the great mission of the Demo cratic leaders,E! 4e. In reply to this and other remarks of " Occasional.," the AltEUloeiteer ex claims : Why should such a platform lie made up for the - Democratic party, the South, or any party for mischievous purposes I A quantity of pplitical villainy is suggested for them from a soiree replete With all the arta Of party chi canery. lf this be not disloyalty and hostility to the soothing and healing policy of the Administration, words are not things, and are of no effect. . . It is an. easy thing for a partisan politician to invent, diabolical suggestions for friends or foes, but it is not t.O easy for MEMOS of men to be deluded to their own destruction by adopt ing them. It will be a sad dity for our afflicted country, if it could thus be made the football of designing demagogues. This is a vague sort of denial. But does our neighbor mean to say, in so many words, that the so-called Demoetatie leaders and presses 'of the do not favor the admission of any rebel whom a.Southern constituency may send to Congress? If it does so intend, let it speak out. Let it point to one leading Copper head politician or journal that would oppose the admission of any rebel to a seat. Would the Int elligeneer, itself throw an obstacle:in the way of readmitting Toombs, Stephens, Wise, Bunter, Mason, or Davis himself? We pause for a reply..

The delivery of all the remaining seven thirty bonds Will be made by the 25th inst.

Many unauthorized statements have been made concerning the intentions of the Secretary Of the Treasury with regard to the finances.

THE NAVAJOE INDIAN Tunnes.- , -SecretarY Har lan and Judge Cooley, Commissioner of the Indian Bureau, have returned to Washington from their conference with the Society of Friends in Philadelphia, relative to certain propositions emanating _from the latter, in volving a change in the condition of the Na vaj• e Indian tribe of New Mexico. The inter view in question took place at the Continental Hotel, and was satisfactory. The Navajoes are a semi-civilized tribe, numbering about twelve thousand, and • probably have made more original progress in the primary arts than any other tribe now extant. The Society of Friends propose to send out a large number of agents among the Navajocs, and establish industrial schools in their midst with a view of ultimately bringing them entirely within the pale of civilization. Though this under taking will be forwarded at the expense of the society, it is still proposed to place the work under Government auspices and an agent of the latter, resident atilhe point where the schools arc founded, will exercise a con trolling supervision over the' conduct of the educational system. Though the plans thus presented are not entirely settled upon, it is believed that the action of the Friends in Philadelphia will finally dispose of the matter. There is no doubt - that the. Government Will accept the proffer thus made, and will speedi ly close with the propositions that are to be formally presented to the Interior Depart ment some time during the present week.— Correspondence New York Herald. after many years' 1 3XPeri" RAISER TION.—„An English. manufacturing flenrince,hiens In u a C k ee in ea g e a a s ' heet of iron 80 thin that 4,800 such sheets are required to make an inch in thickness ,being one-fourth as thick as tie= sus paper.

The _Herald says the state of affairs in connection with the AVATAR; cable has led to an advance of the insurance premium, from twenty-flve to fifty and sixty guineas. A very anxious feeling prevails the city and else where with regard to the prospects of the cable. Up to noon of the 2d the signals received were singularly distinct: The ship was then nearly two.thirds of the -way to Newfoundland. She was in the deepest- water of the whole route, 2,400 fathoms, a little over two and a half miles. It was at-this point that the sig nals at Valentia beeame unintelligible, and gradually ceased. . The Times infers that the disaster occurred after the cable left thelressel, from the fact that it was unknownto those on board, who were signalling their messages as usual, when their signals became unintelligible atValentia, and at last ceased entirely. As to the chances of recovering the impaled part, and repairing it, it may be said that this process could not be accomplished at the rate of mere than a quarter of a mile per hour, which,the slight est wind or <rough sea would at once put an end to. For. such eventualities the 'Great Eastern is amply prepared. She has several buoys onboard, mid, altogether, to a weight of fifty tons, and she has at least five miles of powerful wire buoy-rope, which can support all that the buoys themselves can float. This effort to buoy, however, would notbe resorted to till the last extremity, owing to the danger and improbability of finding the cable againa The Timm, in conclusion, remarks that if the Great Eastern was making successful efforts to haul in the efible and repair it, a clear re. newel of the signals may be looked for within a couple of days. If, on the contrary, that time should pass without the cable giving signals of life, we fear it must be considered hopeless as far as regards success this year.

They may keep a vessel from comma up the ..river,,bnt if we had war with you: Grant would come up from Maine and take us on the laud side." There was more practical wisdom in what he said than in the whole Board of Admiralty, or whatever board of the home Government sat upon the Canadian defence question.

In dependent of the liccn.sed ordinaries, there are one hundred and six liquor dealers, who are licensed to/sell spirits wholesale or retail, but not to be drunk at the place where. sold.. To bit added to these are 'twenty " saloons," li censed to sell nothing but beer, ale, and porter —making a grand total of two hundred ,and sixty-one licensed sellers of ardent • spirits in the city. To this number may be added at least one hundred unlicensed rum-mills. But admitting that there arc only two hundred and sixty-one bard'oolllB in the entire city, and place the population at forty-live .thou sand, this would gtve• one bar-room ; to every two hundred persons, or one to every sixty. drinking people.

There is a great scarcity of money here, and a great scarcity of employment, and, eon sequently, much suffering , among the poorer classes. We fear, too, that this suffering is trifling compared to what it will be a few months hence. The city is in no condition to aid the poor,.as she has done in:pasttimes, and unless assistance is 0.0000 by the. General Government, there will, undoubtedly, be a heavy amount of suffering.--15id.

The Professor's manner ls•ifighty and exaggerated in the extreme; his language hesi tating, weak, and vague ; and ibut ensemble suggests a good-natured imbecile or harmless lunatic. .ntit DAUGHTER OF ZION The Daughter of Zion, Mrs. Draper, is a cor pulent,. double-chinned, middle-aged woman, of rustic aspect, who weighs about three hun dred pounds, and is capable of u wonderful flow of ungrammatical language. According to the eccentric Wheeler, she is a "medium " of unequalled qualifications, is a favorite cen-. fidante of the Virgin Mary, and is in the' habit 'of associating with angels much • more than with mortals. MORE PASBE&(ERS From Morton street the barge proceeded around the Battery to the East River, .foot of Broome street, where she received more pas nenger.S. were six seen rowdies. on board at 'this point were six or seven rowdies. A DRAWBACX 'occurred, which threatened to interfere se zriously with the success of the .expeddtion.

After much 'discussion it was decided to return to Merton street and abandon the trip. A LITAx.I: - Dxtl4ll.loN ensiled betwech the Professor and the "boys, 7l wherein, little by little, the limited theologi cal views of the former were expressed.

Do you suppose we're going to give away seventy-five cents for a. revelation? Daughter (with affable soletnaity). There must be a revelation. We believe that there ain't no such thing as any true Christianzeti gion among many of the present sects. We believe in arriving at Divine revelation only through the baptism, according as it was only laid down by the directions of Jesus Christ, and thus, without this, there ain't no such thing as_spiritual harmony. . We ain't no Spiritotaigt% neither. The Spiritualists ain't no religion at all, but the Spiritual Baptists is. None of these churches and ministers in the city are no account. We Must baptize 'em according to the rules laid down by Jesus Christ through the revelation of the spirit.

Finding that there was no persimfling the Professor to be baptized in the uncicanwaters of the East River, a brilliant idea illuminated the brain of one of the fun-seekers. •He pro posed that the whole party should proceed to Staten Island by the regular ferry-boat, and therksee the baptism through. He and his companions offered to defray the expenses of the entire party if this was agreed to. The Professor demurred considerably, but at last agreed to adopt this programme if the consent Of T t h il e e ldatetegrbtaelraocohueßslintaetrd talkingt 7 ained a grem deal about "revelation," but at length gaffe in her consent, and the party proceeded more merrily, in the anticipation that the baptism was yet to be witnessed. A GENUINE TRANCE ORATION Arriving , at the ferry bridge, here again the irrepressible Professor deleetated his party, as well as the miscellaneous throng of people awaiting the boat, by singing his baptismal hymn, in order to get his choir in proper eon.- dition for the crowning event. The following verse was one in which he particularly de lighted: There, on a tworal unruilled.StreaM, The waters rolling by, She under water plunges him— He cries, "My friends, come nigh !" But here there occurred a.scene in singular contrast with this amusing one. While the merriment around the Professor was at its height, Mrs. Draper suddeniyisprang to her feet, with closed eyes, het form per. fectly right, and with a strangely solemn co llect, which instantly attracted all eyes, and caused a hush to fall upon the crowd. She commenced to speak in Spanish. There was probably no onetherc—no.mortal one, at least —who understood, the tongue; but he soft,. musical diction fel from.her lips with a readi ness and unconsciousness that instinctively convinced the listener that it was pure Cana. lan. Not only the manner but the entire as pect of the woman was changed. Her un wieldly, homely form was apparently lost in the grace and lustre of a wonderful inspira tion, and. as she was_ swayed to and fro, and placed her hands upon her breast, the Sweet, melodious language gushed from her lips in a wild and pleading - strain, as of the passionate supplication and entreaty of some lost soul in misery and pain more utter and profound than that which mortals. know. It only lasted about flee minute& Theni/Or eyeswere closed again ; she opened. them, and sat dawn and was the same ordinary 00UntryhouseWifS as before. ' GOING DOWN THE HAT. . . On 1)oaril the ferry-boat, on the way down, the large number of passengers were conside rahlv hewiroozoo. as well as amused, by the alia. original dissertations of- the learned Professor, and by the strange eharae. ter of the entire baptismal party During the trip, an ignorant lilifesian female, with a considerable flow of language, becoming irate at Wheeler's unorthodox harangues, threw herself upon him (metaphorically) and launched upon his devoted head. &vituperative torrent 04 Scriptural quotations, going to prove that 4, up al that rock shalt thou build thy Church," and that the church which t&e.f finally erected there was none other than the Roman Catholic Church, out of the pale of which salvation was an utter impossibility. Wheeler feebly asked which rock she referred to, which gave rise to further stormy discus sion, eut of which the bewildered Professor was glad to retreat by fltfallY (=Meg to everything the female Celt gave utterance to, and praising her for iter devotion to. the only true faith under the sun.

Arriving at Vanderbilt's Landing, the party troceeded along the shore of the bay, until hey arrived at Willett's Point-.a abort dis tance above Fort Richmond—which had been represented to Professor Wheeler 'as possess ing a good beach, well adapted to the pur poses of the baptisitial ceremony. Here they rested upon a grassy bank by the roadside, and proceeded to discuss the con tents of numerous baskets brought by the old ladies, Who were most benevolent, and fe.l the hungry outsiders as far as their provisions went - While t 0 widis in progress, Sister Do, THREE CENTS. per the Daughter of Zion retired to a neigh- Miring cottage to chane her dress for her " "robe of glory, as they rmedlt. THE Datroirran OF zzoE IN HER HOSES OF GLOAT. The pondrous frame of the Daughter was arrayed in a dress of white muslin, closely re sembling a night-gown of a- long past era. Upon her head WAS a huge sunbonnet, also of stiff white Ruislip, and her feet were encased in a species of sandal bound upon her feet by Me ribbons,. and still further sedtired by coils of red tape around-the ankles.

THE PMENLIC PANK DEVALIVATION FURTHEE rAnTICULARS OF THIS ArrATE.-131 QUEST ON EARLE'S BODY; The New 'Yak Evening Poet of Saturday gives the following additional particulars of the Phocnix Bank defalcation, and the .atiending cirClllllo4lnees Henry B. Jenkins, late actin g teller of the Plicenix Bank; who recently embezzled ilOt far from *300,000 from that institution; together with Ida Syras alias Brower, and Charles Brown alias Sam Davis, paramour of the wo man, were arraigned before Justice Ledwith, at Jefferson Mar et Pollee Court; this morn ing. on charges preferred by John+ Parker, cashier of the Plicenix Bank. .... The facts in this case, showing the guilt .of Jenkins, and the complicity of the. woman Syms and the man Brower, have been pub. reepived the ffilo,ooo from Jenkins oy tnreff i tel 7-43°4 1 - and the woman received an equal amount. Mr. Jenkins, who is an ordinary , looking man of forty-nine years of age, wearing sil!3OtaCleS, and very !plainly dressed, has retained ex. Judge Edmonds and Mr. D. T. Walden as &pun. eel. The woman, Brower, or Syms, who is young slim, and plain-looking, was evidently , desi rous of shunning observation, and partly hid h er fulling With a roil, She is not, apparently, very intelligent, though she is uhdoubtoilly shrewd. Brown is a young man of about twenty-four years of age, and is by far the finest looking person under arrest. both of the defendants were defended by Judge Stuart. Brown was a butcher by trade, but llaS recentlysobtained his livelihood by his Wits, Judge Edmonds was not present, and Mr. Walden, his associate, said that in the absence of the senior counsel, be wouldha.ve to ask for a postponement. His associate was probably suffering from an attack of his old complaint, the neuralgia. 2 Mr. McKeon, who appeared for the Ehtenix Bank, said that it would be advantageous to have all the examinations postponed, and go on together. He would propose that the case go over to Tuesday or Wednesday. Judge Ledwith then adjourned the case until Tuesday next, at 10 o'clock A. 7» the Editors of the Evening Post : FEtarSIX NATIONAL BANK, NEW Tortit, August 1 1 2, lgas. After a careful examination, it has-been as certained that the defalcation in this bank will not exceed the sum of three -hundred thousand dollars ($300,000), which does not ex ceed the amount of the surplus. Please give publicity to the above. Respect fully, JOHN PAIMER, Caelder. THE CASE OF EARL—CORONER'S nuituiwr. The inquest by Coroner Wildey, into the facts connected with the death of.. James H. Earl, formerly a clerk in the bank, and after wards a clerk of the brokers, Smith, Martin, & Co., began last evening and was concluded today, The jury, at the Conchiaillti of the testimony, rendered the following . verdict " That the said James H. Earl came to his death by suicide by cutting bis throat with a penknife, at the Nth precinct station-house, on the 11th day of August,lB6s.,, gaaVs ANTECEDNNTs. Earl was born in Etianbetb,,NeW Jersey, but has of late years resided in Newark, where he was well connected, and enjoyed the respect of the community. It does not appear that any evidence now existing connects him di rectly with the bank defalcation, and. It is pos sible that he could not have been held.. The money be lost in Wall am:canted, according to his own estimates, to $14110,000, T . the money he obtained of Jenkins he says he added 64000 of his own funds and $15,000 he had received from the estate of his father, and he claimed all his efforts were directed to the replacing of the first $50,000 Lost.

JAMES.' The writing wasperformed with a firm band. The date of the letter, it will be ob served, is Wednesday—which doubtless was a mistake. The - writing was undoubtedly done in the cell on Thursday evenips; and the de liberation with which the suicide WAS eoni. witted is distinctly shown. The policeman who searched Earl when he was taken to the statton•house, neglected to put his band in'Earlis inside vest pocket ; and there the poeket-knife with which the veins wore severed was probably concealed.
