LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WAsNINGToN, August 12, 1865
The ancient National Intelligencer has
fallen into trouble. 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

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

cast-off. garments of modern Demoeraey,
For now the" Democracy, as understood by
those with-whom the Intelligences sympa

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

!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

The Intelligence , Afflicted.
[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 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

Inducements; audit is also believed further
remittances of gold to Spain may remaia to be
made in connection with the recent loan of
sloo,ooolgranted that country; but the London
777/lea otherwise asserts thatthere is noceason
toanticipatean increase of the pressure, since
it appears the current demand for money has
been chiefly for internal cireulatiOn, the
amount of notes now in the. hands of the pub•
lic being at least half a million in excess of the
total usual at this season. The demand at the
bank yesterday, at the altered rate, was mode
rate. 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. '

"4w, I don't see anything remarkable about
him-,o_he says to a fellow - of the same breed
who sits beside hiM.
If the subject of their :remarks was exceed
ingly dignited and. wore full military dregs,
with epaulets, stars, gold lace and gilt buttons;
if" he looked haughtily upon everybody pre
sent; if , he was proud enough not to see any
orie who was not presented with formality and
dignity, . ilmibtless . these fellows would .seo
something remarkable in him. They have not`
sense enouglr to know that his unostentatious
manners, Ins-urbane treatment of all who ap
proach .him, is so very remarkable that the
people recognize it at once.

While Walking around the citadel I fell into
conversation with the soldier who conducted

a brother 'whO WM under Grant," said he.
" Ile was wounded in front of Petersburg, and
-has got his discharge."
"What does he say of General Grant 1"
asked.
"Oh, he sayshe is4a bully boy."
Then ler began to' talk about the fortifica
tions.
(Linage are no good, I reckon your-guns,
which' yowhave got would knock these walla
to pieces mighty quick." Then, looking across
the river he pointed out the place where the
.new fortifitations are to be erected at Point
Levi, and said, " What good will they be when
completed? 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. Canada
can't be defended any more than the Confede

The taking of the censue_of the siegroes E in
order to learn their condition, is prograssing
very satisfactorily in the district comliosed-of
Richmond city and the -counties of Menrico
and Chesterkm.
Richmond is to have a-,new dotirthedge.
There are at present in. -Richmond one -hun
dred and thirty-live licensed bar-rooms.. 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. Ifon face of :these facts, the
citizens of Richmond do not become hard
drinkers, it will certainly be no .fault.of the
liquor dealers..

Col. D. r. Whigai , has been relievedifrcuk
duty as commandant of the city. The civil au
thorities having been restored, it is presumed
that the necessity for a post commandant no
longer exists. Express 10th.
The number of persons now. permitted. to
draw rations is largely curtailed by arecent
order, an a l it is questionable whether all the
really destitute persons can he f urnishedthere
with. 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.

would be well, for the convention to declare
slavery at an end in Georgla, without excite

people of Northern Georgia are anxious for an

'occurred, which threatened to interfere se
zriously with the success of the .expeddtion.
The Professor came upon the upper deck and
:informed the excursionists that the captain
of the barge refused to proceed farther unless
ltis expenses were defrayed on the spot, He
(the Professor) proposed that a contribution
'be taken up for that pUrpose, but the crowd
;were not ailment, and did not see the proposi
tion in a powerful illinnination. 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. Some
such conversation occurred :
First "Boy" Boy." Look here, Professor, we must
have the baptism somehow. Suppose we have
it here at the end of tale pier.
Professor. What, in this filthy water?
Second "Boy." So much the more need:fOr

Professor. It can't be, boys. East River is
too dirty to be purified. I have no control in
the matter at all. I am controlled by the
Daughter of Zion there, and she by the Reve

for me to be baptized to-day, or it would 'Mae

Bet the "boys" were determined to try the

occurred:

Third " Boy." But why didn't you say that
on the bills? 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

A CHANGE IN TAR -PROGRAMME.
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

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

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

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

was glad to retreat by fltfallY (=Meg to

The pondrous frame of the Daughter was

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

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 is a young man of about twenty-four

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

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

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

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.
RAM'S lifarr.F. TO MS nuornan—ins AVM°

Upon the person of .Earl, afterhe. had killed
himself, a letter was found.
In the envelope werefour card photographs—
two of a lady, who :was_ Earl's wife, hut wh° is
now dead, and two of Barl's boy, evidently five
Or Six years of age. Both- the mother who is
called 41 .11erie,” and the Olitld, " .14eddie,"
have flue face®.
Enclosed - with the photographs was a slip
torn from the margin of anewspaper. It reads
as follows :
" Willie : I give Freddie to. Emma or Sarah
Liz. I hope he maybe brought up: right. Get
all erects. you can together, for Fred's
benefit. hope to meet Done above. Forgive
me. lam innocent and wrongedi. LO VA to all.
"dAsiss, toyer.]
"Wednesday, August 10,1665,"
Across the end of the slip were these words:
Give my watch to Freddie. ,
On the other side of the slip - these lines were
written
"o ver ~
" Bury me beside my dearborle. 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.
