flit ;Irtss. TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1865. ANTI-SLAVERT The best news lately received from Eu rope was that which we published yester day, to the effect that King Louis of Por tugal, when closing, the Cortes, promised a strict law for the final abolition of negro slavery within his dominions. This actu -ally means in his colonial possessions—in the Cape de Verd Islands, Madeira and St. Thomas ; in the Azores ; in Senegal, An gola, Guinea, and Mozambique ; in the East Indies ; in the Indian Archipelago, and at Macao, in Chinm The whole of this colo nial population exceeds three millions and a half. We have no doubt that tha recent abolition of slavery in this country has acted as a strong inducement to the performance, however tardily, of this act Ajustice and bun-amity. - It is fitting, indeed that the couutry by which Negro Slavery was commenced should finally abandon and surrender it. From the time of MOHAMMED black slaves have been held in parts of Africa and Asia. Early in the fifteenth century one of the princes of Portugal personally gave an im petus to maritime discovery, which event uated in the researches of COLIIMBHS, on the then almost " unpathecl waters" of the Atlantic. The exchange by . four Moorish prisoners for twelve black slaves from Africa, in the year 1442, led to the commencement of the slave trade, by a company of adventurers, under royal pa tronage, a little later. But, though the trade, flourished at first, it, gradually de clined. The discovery of America, in 1402, at which time there were only about 300 slaves annually brought into Portugal, made the trade popular and profitable. Co- Lum - aus himself had been engaged in it be fore he went upon his adventurous voy ages, and recommended the Spanish sove reigns, FERDINAND and ISABELLA, to traf fic in Indians, as the inhabitants of the newly-discovered continent were called and, curiously enough, it was found that domestic slavery was one of the original "institutions" of Peru, while, in Mexico, the law was, the children of slaves were free born. Negroes were largely lm ported into the Spanish colonies, because they could perform hard work - , to which the less sturdy Indians were unequal. One negro was equal, in market value, to four Indians. It is not necessary to mention how Negro Slavery spread from South to North America. English traders went largely into the trade ~,but the first slaves actually imported and purchased in this country was a small lot of twenty, brought to Jamestown, Virginia, in a Dutch vesseL The trade, however, was largely English, and Queen ELIZABETH shored profits with the first party who engaged in it ; while the last two of the male STUART monarchy, (CuanLEs IL and JAMES IL,) were mem bers of one of the four English companies established for carrying on the African slave trade. Some of the colonies remon strated against it, but it was supported - by England. The first abolition movement was made about the time when the Decla ration of Independence was drawn up and signed. Our Continental Congress resolved, in 1776, that the importation of slaves should cease ; but, in 1788, this was taken back, and the year 1808 fixed as the period when it must terminate. We need not here re peat the particulars of the battle which has been carried on among ourselves, during the last fifty years, to abolish slavery— which was finally done during the Presiden cy of Mr. Lnicora. It may not be with out interest, however, to give the dates of its abolition elsewhere. In England, the trade was long consi dered as legitimate as it was profitable, and Liverpool was literally raised by it from a small fishing village to a great seaport. It is recorded that, on one occasion, the erratic actor, GEORGE FREDERICK COOKE, having taken a benefit in the theatre at Liverpool, was tardy in complying with a call from "the gods in the gallery," to acknowledge their patronage by a speech. The ruling error of this great actor's life was his pro clivity for wine, and he was under its ex citing effects when he was informed by the alarmed manager that, if he did not appear before the curtain, dissatisfaction would speedily ripen into riot, in which ease the theatre would probably be pulled about his ears, and his own life endangered. Coori presented himself to the au dience, and showed that he desired to speak. Attentive silence was the instant result. Glancing keenly around the house, he began ; but, instead of the address of personal thanks which his patrons expect ed, he said, in his clearest tone and most impressive manner, "Men of Liverpool:! I am ashamed to play here, for hire. Ashamed, because there is not a brick in your town that has not been cemented with the blood of an African I" The words were heard in silence, and COOKE was allowed to depart, unmolested. There was so much truthin his brief but sharp reprOtteh, that no man could answer it. About that very time, Mr. GLADSTONE'a father had several ships in the slave trade, in which he was largely and profitably concerned. The first step in the British Parliament for the abolition of the Slave trade was taken in 1788, when a petition, signed by Quakers, was presented. Perm and Fox, the great political rivals, soon joined the abolition movement Effort after effort, succeeding in one House and failing in the other, was almost annually made. At last, when Fox was last in office, in 1806, the Govern ment brought on abolition as their own measure, and _it was passed, in 1807, after the death of Fox. Still, this only abolished the slave trade. Steps were then taken, the movement being still headed by WIL BERFORCE and CLARKSON, to mitigate and abolish Slavery itself; and, in 1833, this was done, by act of Parliament, V 00,000,000 being paid, as compensation to like slave owners._nut-- thc public_ treasury. ._.-Tina Emancipation virtually took place on August 1, 1884, France, which was inte rested in the slave-trade, abolished it in 1791, but Nitromorz restored it, and again abolished it in 1815 ; it was re-enacted by Louts XTIII. in that same year, but wholly ceased in 1820. The property in slaves in the French colonies was abolished early in 1848, after Louis PHILIPPE was deposed? In the Netherlands it Was abolished in 1818 ; in Sweden, in 1846-7 ; in Denmark, in 1848 ;in Holland, in 1860_ Spain pro mised, in 1814, that she would abolish slavery in 1820. She kept her word as badly as Brazil, which passed a law against it in 1826, but still continues it Portugal, which had not given any pledge upon the subject, not volunteers, using her King as the medium for announcin g it, that the ac cursed system shall cease, finever, under her flag. Spain and Brazil, therefore, are the only countries, claiming to be civilized, which continue legal protection to "property" in human flesh and blood, by their eitizens held in bondage. It is impossible that this .can continue much longer. The rulers of these countries are professedly Christians, and holding kidnapped human beings in perpetual and oftentimes most cruel slavery is not to be reconciled—whatever Bishop HOPKINS may, pretend—with the mild tenets of the Gospel of the Saviour. In deed, it is now stated that Spain and Brazil have resolved to abolish Slavery. EMANCIPATION IN BRAZIL. The example of the United States in abo lishing slavery will doubtless strengthen the emancipation feeling in Brazil. It is estimated that about three millions of slaves are held in that country. They are not •confined to one section, but distributed through every part of the empire, and form :about one-third of the entire population.. libpolitioal homier between white and black freemen exists, and there is, comparatively, little social antagonism between the races. EmanciPation, therefore, involves none of the'peculiar difficulties that have attended it here. When the shackles are etrieken off the bondsmen, they become at once the peers of their fellow-men, and ne. - subsequent struggle about slave codes or negro suffrage is necessary to ensure their peifect freedom. The Brazilian, champions of emancipation advocate gradual, instead of immediate action, and they expect to secure the co-operation and support of many of the slaveholders instead of their hostility. A few months ago a leading Brazil states man, Viscount lEQUITIZTRONITA, introduced into the Senate a bill, substantially provid ing that all slaves shall acquire their free dom upon the death of their present miners that in ten years all slaves over twenty-five years of age shall be declared free ; and that in fifteen years all slavery shall be abolished, except in cases that are to remain under the special Control of the government. It is not expected that this important proposi tion will be adopted, at once. But its agi tation has fairly commenced, and "free dom's struggle, once begun, though baffled oft, is ever won) , The downfall of slavery in our country will necessarily hasten its extinction in the only two remaining Chris tian countries that sanction it ; and by the .close of the century it is probable that it will be tolerated only by heathens and Moham medans. THERE is only one historic incident bear ing any similarity to the recent enfranchise ment of the slaves by, the American Go vernment, and that has but a superficial re semblance. In Russia the serfs were libe rated by the act of the superior race—that is, liberty was bestowed upon them, not won by their own endeavors. But here all resemblance ceases ; for, as is uniformly the ease in monarchical governments, there exists an antagonism between the sovereign and the nobility. The sovereign fears their power and is jealous of their influence, and seeks to diminish it by granting privileges to the lower classes, thereby strengthening himself in his opposition to his nobles. 111 England and France, the strong and vigor ous middle classes frequently found the king their friend in their conflicts with the aristocracy, and for this special cause, Naturally, a king, above All competition, and fearing no infringenient of his rights or honors, can freely espouse the cause of the lower ranks of his people, and strive to ameliorate their condition and elevate their position, either from selfish or benevolent considerations, while the nobility dread every innovation in established order as the precursor of injury to themselves. Tun KENTIToKY BLEMoN has probably resulted in the choice of five Union and four Democratic or Conservative members of Congress. The State Senate, it is sup-. posed, will contain a majority of Demo cratic, and the House of Union members. The real issue is upon the slavery question, parties having divided without much re ference to ancient affiliations on the issue of emancipation. Although the anti-slavery men have not gained. a sweeping victory,• they have approximated so nearly to it, and made such an impressive demonstration of strength against old pro-slavery laws and sentiments, that their final and conclusive triumph can at the worst only be post poned, not prevented. THE ANNUAL manufacture of strong li quors in this country is estimated at from 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 gallons; and if the excise duty of $2 per gallon was, ill all instances, honestly paid, a revenue of from $160,000,000 to $200,000,000 would be de rived from this source alone. But the law has been systematically evaded and vio lated on a large scale, the amount of tax received by the Government during the last year being only a few millions of dol lars. We see by the Chicago Republican, that a sweeping raid has been made upon the distillers of the Northwest, and many heavy penalties exacted. As the people and Government are both swindled by false returns, for the benefit of manufacturers and dealers, it is to be hoped that the law will be rigidly enforced hereafter, and that the burdens of the nation Will thus be ma terially reduced. The Republican gives a long description of the frauds that have been perpetrated. They are accomplished by false oaths, by illicit distillation, by, col lusion with officers, and by smuggling from Canada. The Irish system of manufactur ing " potteen " has been extensively imi tated,- but the large establishments have perpetrated 'swindling operations on a gi gantic scale. Against one distiller a Go vernment forfeiture of the immense sum of $643,320 is claimed, and in several other cases more than $lOO,OOO are alleged to be due. AMID the discouragements that attend the progress of reorganization in the South, one cheering fact is constantly perceptible. Talented and eloquent men, and well-con ducted journals in every quarter are con- Stantly advocating free labor, and demon strating that it will be found more profita ble, as well as infinitely more just and agreeable than the old system. This fact, insignificant as it may appear, is a great gain on the old order of things. The people are not oily forced by necessity to dispense with slavery but their reason is constantly being addressed by men in whom they have more or less confidence, with arguments and appeals in favor of the advantages Of the new system. Surely, on such a theme, earnest discussion and experience should eventually secure a mental and moral, as well as a physical triumph for the right, and satisfy even the most prejudiced and stubborn of the old slaveholders, that emancipation, rightly regarded and im proved, may become a boon to the master and the poor white man, as well as to the slave. Wram FRANCE has been endeavoring to establish and maintain liAximimAx upon the throne of Mexico, Spain has been 'aim ing at the permanent conquest of St. Do mingo ; but the determined valor of the citizens of the Dominican Government finally compelled the withdrawal from their island of the Spanish invaders. The victors claim that they have successfully vindicated the Monroe doctrine, and look to America _for gympathy ward. - air melt heroism. Betrayed at the outset by leaders who sold their forts and strongholds to the enemy, they soon recovered from the first blow of treachery, and, after a bitter and protracted conflict, obtained a treaty that substantially embraces the following terms, viz : First. That the troops of Spain should evacu ate the Domin lean forts and territory, and that all acts Of hostility should mutually cease_ Second. That in consequence of this evacua tion peace should be established between the two countries on :terms compatible with the honor of both parties. Third.

Afriomi Peonage. 2b the Editor of the PrOss: , Sat: It is. not enough that,-the Southern States should agree; to no siayery in it s o ld forms. They fillrelrdeet 'oftheir-Slave-owners have long been anxious to givelhat up for an other (and worse) more profitable to the planter. They have long since seen that he who was compelled to feed, clothe, nurse, and doctor all those who are too young, too feeble, too sick, and too old to work, as well as the la borers themselves, was paying a round price for his labor done, and have been anxious to exchange it for another system, free from these heavy drawbacks. It is a fact that no country but one Of limit lees fertility, Wheee products are of world wide demand, and limited growth, Can support the slave system, unless it be in breeding re gions. r The extreme Southern States . have been able to get rich under such a system ; but itryfite Only because of their great fertility and' peculiar produots ; and they have not been slow to see that there might be another far more adVantageoue to their interests adopted by them. But they hesitated in its adoption because the reprobation of the world would have fallen upon them with crushing effect. But now this old plot is Wilk revived, and the Southern leaders look upon this as a propitious time to lay the found,ations of its eventual adoption. They think the work half done already to their hands; and so it is, unless guarded against. The plot now is, if compelled to do so, to acknowledge involuntary servitude ended— slavery dead, but to keep the old slave Ma terial still in ignorance and degradation, as timber fOr the new system, The. States are to pass laws providing—first, that thi blacks (or poor whites, if they will) may contract debts upon personal security— that is, secured by a mortgage of the labor of the debtor. This makes a slave till the origi nal debt is paid, and until all subsequent in debtedness is paid also. And, second, that the personal services of a debtor may be levied upon, set up at; auction, and sold upon the block, by the creditor, in payment of his claim. As this would devolve upon the buyer risks of sicsness, nursing, and death of the debtor, as well as the feeding and clothing him, the bids would be so small that a small debt awould, of necessity, consign the poor debtor to a long slavery; and then, add to this the debtor's liability to be continued on after its expiration, for the payment upon the same terms, of any debts contracted after the first judgment, and the chances would be ten to one that a debtor, whose services are once sold, is himself forever sold, as the real, though not nominal, slave of his creditor. The Southern planter reasons thus: There is not one ignorant negro in a thousand, espe cially having. a family, that would not, if he could, run into debt, nor that, when once in debt, would not keep so. Give us the right to sell his services to pay his debts, and he is a slave thenceforth forever. But should he get disabled, become permanently an invalid, or grow old and useless upon our hands, why then we can show our generosity by remitting the balance of the debt and turning him loose again. It relieves us of the eare of the young, and sick, and old, and of all the expenses of clothing and feeding them also. Beside, the world Can lind no fault with us; ior, though slavery in fact, it is not in name 5 nor is it in. voluntary; for since every man knows when he contracts a debt that he may be sold for it, it is a part of the contract, and so wholly voluntary and according to agreement. Be sides, you know it is not selling the man, it is only gelling his services; and if we have to take the body to get the services, that is only incidental, and can't be helped. By this ar. rangement every child is -born free, and if he can't remain so, whose fault is it? And if this systeniturns off the old and the sick to suffer or starve, what of that? Are we to blame for men's running into debt when they are young and starving when they are old! Now this is exactly the system certainly to be inaugurated throughout the cotton States, provided Congress is fooled into the error of receiving their representatives, and starting up the machinery of State G-overument before the future condition of the negro is forever fixed. And it is a system compared with which slavery, as it has heretofore existed with all its horrors and enormities, is clear as fresh linen, and pure as light. A system against - which let the American people be thoroughly warned and forever arrayed. It is a system so full of wickedness, that the South has so far hesitated hi its adoption—not because it was too wicked for them, but be cause it was too awful for the world's contem plation; bemuse they did not (10,re deliberately to turn out their old and sick slaves to die being already bound to care for them. But now their theory is that the abolition of slavery has relieved them of allresponsibilities of that kind, and that the old and sick being thus off their hands, they are at liberty to dis regard them, and'deal only with the well and hearty, and their own interests through them. Let me assure the American people that this is no false alarm. This very system of peonage has long been under Southern discussion. It would be vastly more profitable to the planter, and a thousand times more dreadful to the negro than slavery ever has been. Now, in good but quiet earnest, the Southern leaders are laying their plans for its adoption; and fire years hence Ns-11111nd it in full opera tion, unless prevented by the stern and whole•. some action of the Government. But what is the antidote? Simply this. Let no. State return until its slave code is abo lished, the Constitutional amendment agreed to, and its own Constitution altered, forever discarding all species of peonage, and securing an education to all Classes, both white and black ; and containing a provision against any change in these respects for twenty years to come. By that time, the negro being both free and educated, can take care of his own irate• rests. Gao van. A Shameful Affair. [From the Harrisburg 'Telegraph of Saturday.) We have already announced the fact, that an unfortunate - wretch, named David Gre gory, had been convicted and would be hanged in Philadelphia yesterday. Since then, for good and valid reasons, the Governor had extended the time for this execution until :the .e2d of September. In calling atten tion to this case, we are reminded of certain facts connected with an effort to procure a pardon for the unfortunate man, an expo sure of which cannot fail to nil every honest man with disgust and fear at the corrupt tendencies of the times. Gregory has a wife and a large family of small children. His mother is also still living, represented as a most respectable, hard-working lady, who, by her own industry and thrift, gathered a suffi cient's-111310f money to render her independent of the world. Of course, the dreadful situation Of her son overwhelmed her with grief, and she was ready to make every effort and sacri fice in her power for his rescue from the gal lows. Observing her sorrow, and knowing the amount of her pecuniary possessions, a party of unmitigated scoundrels in the city of hila delphia combined systematically to rob this afflicted mother. These men are utterly without character, never had either per sonal, .political, official influence or inter course with the Governor, and could not possibly sway His Excellency in regard to the ease. And yet they represented to the mother of Gregory that they could get a pardon, While the unfortunate wretch under sentence of death was induced to believe that if a certain sum of money was raised, he could be rescued from the-gallows. Under these circumstances, the widowed, afflicted, and aged mother con verted the accumulations of a life of trial into money,. willingly and' lovingly placed it in the hands of the villains who had combined to rob her, and by this time she knows that she has been duped. By this time, :besides her sore affliction, the heart-broken old woman knows that she is as poor as a beggar, having, been made such by the connivance of a band of Philadelphia rascals. , We doubt if the an nals of crime contain anything equal to this ca.seilin black-hearted villainy ! In this manner the Executive and Legis lative authorities of every State are dis graced. Combinations of rascals are formed who lead the people to belieVe that certain legislation can only be had by corrupting Legislative bodies with money. On these re presentations money is freely given, when the fact is that the very business asked for could have transaeted without the-ex penditure of a dollar by the parties directly interested. We had a ease of this description in the Legislature last 'winter, when parties were induced to believe that Mr legislation, which was just and could have been readily had,it would be necessary to " pay I , liberally; but the fraud was detected before the robbery was effected. But this last case exceeds any, thing in the history of the State, and we trust the parties engaged maybe severely punished. CAPTURE OF A PREFFESSIONAL HIGHWAYMAN AII BURGLAR IN CINCINNATI—A DESPERATE STRUGGLE IN THE DARK.-Tile CInOItIR9,tI COM mereicet of the 12th has the following: Some time since a eonple of the night po lice made the capture of every suspiciouS cha racter under very suspicious circumstances. As nothing could be proven against him he was set at liberty—very unfortunately, as the Sequel shows. At about three o'clock of yester day morning, the same fellow, who is nothing more nor less than a professional burglar and highwayman of the most desperate eharaeter, came across it citizen named John P. Gortland, who, laboring under the somnifie effects of heavy midnight potations, had fallen asleep on the doorstep of his residence, on the south side of Fifth street between S. me and Race streets. The night-prowling " erossmane searched the sleeper, and took from him a watch valued at silty dollars, and proceeded- westward, probably to carry out a plan of a burglary already matured. At any rate, it happened that at about four o'clock, of yester day morning, the same individual, after mak ing his way over sheds and out-houses, effect ed an entrance into one of the rear-rooms of Mrs. McGee's boarding-house, on Seventh street between Central avenue and John. The gas, burning dimly in the room, diSelOSed to hiM the form of Robert Alc- Gee, a son of the landlady, who had made bed for himself on the floor, and was sleep ing there. Awakened by the noise of the burglar, the young man discovered a man just applying his fingers to the burner. 'Thinking it was some person belonging to the house, he was about to go to sleep again, when the light was suddenly turned out. Immediately. sus pecting the nature of the affair, he epeang up and grappled with the rascal there, in the darkness, calling loudly for help. A young man named George A. Mclntosh, awakened by the noise of the struggle, rushed into the room, and, together, the two young men en deavored to capture the burglar. But the tuf o/lan straggled stoutly with them both, and finally, drawing a sharp knife, stabbed and cut them both in several places, compelling them to give up the, struggle. The intruder then sprang through the window, and was making his escape, when he was tired at by a citizen. He escaped the shot, only to become a prisoner to Officer Antram, who had managed to come up with him, and, with cocked revolver, me naced him in such a manner as to compel him to drop his knife and surrender. He was then taken to the Hammond-street station, where Lieutenant Hefferman found on his .person the silver watch identified by Gortland. In the Police Court, yesterday, the desperado, who gives his name as Charles Nagle, was held for trial before the Court of Common Pleas, on the charges of highway robbery and cutting with intent to Kill. -- Robert E. Lee, late General in the late rebel army, was on Friday last tendered the Presidency of Washington College,Lexington, Vs., by the trustees of that institution. THE PREM.—PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 15. 186 b. Gossip about the 141,W York Newt. papers. THE MEN - WHO NANAGE -AND EDIT THEM- A CHARACTERISTIC LETTER PROM HORACE GREELBY. Agate (Mr, Reid,) of the Oincinnati Gazette, writes the following gossip to that journal about the New York newspapers : Articles are going the round of the news aspen press to the effect that Horace Greeley has ceased to have any control of the Tribune, and some accounts go so far as to state that he has no Connection with that journal. There is not a word Of truth in these reports. Mr. Greeley is not only the editor-in-chief still, but he does not write less than two columns for every issue of the paper, unless he happens to be out of town. At the last meeting of the stockholders of the Tribune, his salary, to whose advance he has always been opposed, was raised frOM,11•11, to 81.500 per annum, in spite Of his protestations against it. ' Speaking of journalistic salaries, they are far lower here than any one would suppose, when the expenses of living are taken into consideration. They are higher than they are in the West, but the facilities and necessities of pecuniary Outlay here are much larger, and the natural though fallacious idea is that men connected with the Metropolitan press have particular capacity_ which ought to command elevated - figures. Newspaper writers are paid in New York according to their ability rather than their position. For instance, Mr. Frede rick Hildson, of the Herald, has long received SlO,OOO per annum, which he richly earns; and yet the same paper employs reporters who do not get more than ten dollars per week. in deed, some Of the reporters for the evening papers are employed as low as seven and eight dollars per week, although they generally do work for the morning papers, which enables them to live. The general salaries for good reporters are from twenty to twenty-live dollars per week; for city and.suireditors, and musical and dra ruatical critics, thirty to forty dollars , and beyond that there is no regular gradation or special limit. At these figures the city jour nalists are rarely enabled to make both ends meet, and are compelled to edit one of the weeklies or correspond for the provincial press, or write for the magazines or theatres, or perform some literary labor outside of their regular duties. The following characteristic letter, written to Mr. Reid, has also been published: Nnw Yong, August 4. TWEED REID: Thank you for yours of 3d. Your inquiries are laughable. The facts are these: We elect an editor of the Tribune annually by a stock vote (one hundred shares one vote each). Once, man v yeargago, two votes were cast against me for .editor—none before nor Since. I have never beard that any stockholder de sired my withdrawal from the Tribune. Imean to reduce my.wofic-on it at the ear liest moment; and have so stated to all who have a right to know.. I am overwhelmed with labor. I Brew old. and want rest and comfort. My iaea is to get somebody else to take the laboring oar receive tile kicks and cuffs, and let me farm a little, travel a little, fish some, and write when in spirit. Such is my dream. I hope to realize at least a part of it during the year 1866; but I may not till some time `later. You know how circumstances control everything. At present I am writing about an average of two columns per day - for the Tribune—too much; I mean to write less whenever I can. That's all I know about the matter. Per haps they know more at the Herald office. Vol. 11., I grieve to say, does not get on so fast as it should. I have too much other work, a very sick wife, and am not very well my self; . and the weather is good for corn and turnips, but bad for history. I Mope for im provement in many if not in most respects. Yours, HORACE GREELEY. A Mumma STUMP SPEECH.— The English newspapers are in the habit of making merry over the speeches of our stump orators.

[Cheers and loud laughter.] THE SPOT WHEHE THE OLD BOY KILLED HIS WIPE.—A letter from Newport says : In the vicinity of one of these beaches is the famous place known as Purg.atory. This is a fissure in the r,3eky cliff, Which here rises almokt as a perpenilliellial: wall from the wean. The open. mg rune back from the - waters long distance, and it requires a steady nerve to approach the sides and look down into the deep abyss, and there are but a few who are able to do so. One curious feature in this singular formation is, that the rock is a conglomerate, and round stones of all sizes are seen embedded in the sides, that were divided at the time of the up heaval, so that the parts are now found on either surface. For instance,_ stones may be seen that were not larger than an egg, that look as ii cut in two in the middle by some sharp instrument, and the parts, though now twenty feet and more distant from each other, retained in their original places. This is the character of the whole formation, and if the two sides of the gulf could be brought to gether these divided stones would lit as ex actly as the halves of an apple that had been cut with a knife. The chasm is a curiosity to all, but these facts make it especially , so to men of science, some of whom have given it much study. Of this locality there are many curious tra ditions. Here is pointed out the place whore according to a story Iwo hundred years old, the Old Boy killed his wife, dragged her to the precipice, and threw her in; and, strange, to . say, the marks of violence are plainly to be seen. His Majesty's footprints are left in the. rocks ; the strokes of his hatchet, as he took the life of his spouse, are pointed ont, and even the Stains of blood are not effaced. The moan of the waters, as they roll in at the bottom of the abyss, are still listened to as the sighs of the murdered. Taken altogether, the place is well befitting the story, however the latter may bare prigmated.

According , to the despatches froM Illinois, there ean - be no doubt in the minds of any who will esalnine them carefully that the wheat crop has been damaged very considerably— probably fully, one-fourth being ruined. In almost every place it is injured more or less, only one or two despatches reporting the crop. large and good. The crop of oats is large, but it would appear to be injured by rains and storms about one-fourth. The barley crop is also injured very materially. The crop of rye is reported "fair , in many TAMS, but badly damaged in ethers.. The corn crop, from all accounts, looks, finely, and the rains have im proved it, rather than otherwise, except in low grounds. Thus far, the prospect is that Illinois will have the largest crop of corn ever known. —Chicago Tribune.

GRAND HOP AT TUB COLUMBIA 11.0IJBE, CAPE NAY.—This evening a grand hop and prome nade concert is to be given at the Columbia House, Cape May. Mr. Bolton, the ever plea sant and accommodating proprietor of the Co lumbia, announces that the coming four weeks are to be exceedingly gay and pleasant at Cape Island. The Columbia is indeed one of the finest hotels at this favorite summer resort, as any of the great multitudes who have this sea. son thronged it can testify. The weather has never been pleasanter at Cape May than it is at the present time ; in fact, in the opinion of many, the best time to visit the seashore is towards the latter part of August.

Ile informs them that he contemplates calling a State convention, but all who are to be members thereof, or who in tend to vote for delegates thereto, must take the amnesty oath prescribed by the President. The proclamation concludes as follows : I have been Informed by the military au. tborities that a considerable number of posts have already been established in the State, and others soon will be, 'with officers attached, authorized to administer the oath required, and to give certified copies thereof, so as there by to give every facility-for taking the oath with little or no inconvenience or expense to the applicant. In the meantime, and until the re-establish ment of a State_government, it is left to the military authorities to preserve peace and ord'er and protect the rights of persons and property. An understanding has been bad with the Commander of thedeartment whereby per sons occupying the offices of of probate may continue to take proof of wills, and issue letters testamentary and of administration, and Clerks of circuit courts may take the proof or acknowledgment of deeds and mortgages and record the same as heretofore, and all per sons occupying ministerial offices may con tinue to perform such duties and offices as are essential and convenient to the transaction of bllgneSS. If any doubt should hereafter arise concerning the validity of their acts, such doubt can be removed by a legislative act of confirmation. By the operations and results of the war slavery has ceased to exist in this State. It cannot be revived. Every voter for delegates to the Convention, in taking the amnesty oath, takes a solemn oath to support the free dom of the former slave. The freedom in tended is the full, ample,and complete free. dom of a citizen of the United States. This does not necessarily include the privilege of voting; but it does include the idea of full constitutional guarantees of future possession and quiet enjoyment. The question of his voting is an open question—a proper subject for discussion — and to be decided as a ques tion of sound policy by the Convention to be called. _ . Upon the establishment of a republican form of State government, under a constitution which guarantees and secures liberty to all the inhabitants alike, without distinction of color, there will no' longer exist any impedi ment in the way of restoring the State to its proper constitutional relations to the Govern ment of the United States, whereby its people will be entitled to protection by the United States against invasion, insurrection, and domestic violence.

A long and successful es,reer in crime em. hoidens the guilty. A recent illustration of this law of human nature impels me to violate my life-long rule of conduct, and for once to notice a. political slanderer. I do not, how ? ever, address you for the purpose of repelling his innuendoes or falsehoods. My life has been passed among you, and if its record, familiar to you all, does not repel them, I have lived in vain. My purpose is simply to pierce the mail of ill-gotten gold in which the slanderer has clothed himself, and give you a glimpse at the loathsome object it protects. The papers of Friday announce that Simon Cameron,. of Dauphin county, was serenaded by Ills friends on the precedin g evening at the Girard House in this city, andavalled himself of the occasion to.villify m v colleagues and my self, "the Congressmen of Philadelphia," in a speech to the assemblage. I was but a youth when I first heard the name of Simon Cameron . , and it was as the perpe trator of a' rest crime. He bad been made the agent of the Government to carry a large amount of money, due them, to the NVitmeba,go Indians, and had taken advantage of their ig norance and helplessness to enrich himself. 'Those of you who had then attained to man hood, though you may not, after the lapse of so many years, revive the burning indignation with which you regarded the infamous swin filer of the poor Indians, widadoubtless remem ber that instead of pitying them the specie which the Government conlidedto him for that purpose,la e retained it,and gave them the notes of the Middletown Bank, of which he was an owner...At their encampment in the remote wilderness these notes were utterly worthless. The Indians could not use them for any pur pose there, nor carry them to Middletown for redemption. But what was that to altooo'Ca meron 1 Was not their loss his gain, and wag he not so much the richer by every note that failed to come home for redemption, though they did suffer and starve? And those of youwho are not old enough to remember all this, now know why , this bold, bad man is sometimes spoken of by your seniors as the " great Win nebago,” and sometimes as "Ohl Kiokapoo." For more than thirtyyears I have watched the tortuous career of this man, and have never seen a reason to abandon my first im- Pression of his character. Whether acting with the Democratic, the Know Nothing, or the Republican party—forhe has in turn dis grated them a —he has never been. false to his criminal instincts, lie hag endeavored to turn them all to profitable account. ills am bition is sordid and panders to his avarice, and he, measures honors by the perquisites they expose to his grasp. Ile has no confi dence in the people, and is aware that they distrust him. His speech of Thursday even ing was not ehanieteristiC Of him, for he is prone to the use of instruments. His habit is to point the stiletto, but to employ another hand to drive it home. Though an active par ticipant in the polities of his county and State for more than half a century, during which long period he has pursued the profits of °Mee, of Jobs, of contracts, with eager and ceaseless assiduity, lie has never dared to per mit his name to be presented to the people Of his county or State as a candidate for an elec tive office. He crawls to the feet of the ap pointing power. lie cares not who may be King, so that he may "still be Vicar of Bray" and to that end be chaffers with and corrupts weak and needy members of Conventions and the Legislature of both parties. I need not recite the disgraceful facts attend ing his several canvasses for the United States Senate. Their - nauseous odor lingers in your nostrils to this hour. In the first he bought the votes of three Democratic members, and in the last bid twenty thousand dollars for the one vote which would have elected him. This last transaction was so flagrant that the Le a-Islet-ere was compelled to take cognizance of it, mtd, if justice he not lame as well as blind, the law and honor of Our State will yet be via. dictated. The evil report of his deeds pervades' the country as a reproach to our State. Yes, un happily for Pennsylvania and her great in terests, the buzzard-winged fame of Simon Cameron is national. By months of abject solicitation and corrupt bargaining he pro cured a mass or letters, certificates and re. cantatin»s, that imposed him upon President Lincoln• as the representative man of the Keystone State. That was an evil hour for Pennsylvania. You all remember how he organized the Navy Agency in this city, and feel the ireffable reproach he thus brought on our Navy Yard and commercial and other business men. In the course of his impudent and ill-judged harangue be said; "In the olden time a member of Congress from Phila.- delphia would have had sufficient influence to have carried his _point (the establishment of a Naval Station at League Island) without a dis senting voice." Is that the assertion of a sober man? and did he who made it forget that our Congressmen in the olden time in proposing to locate a Government workshop at Phriader phia, had not the terrible reputation of Simon Cameron, the Fagan of the Harrisburg lobby and ex-Secretary of War to contend with, and, therefore, had some chance for success? My colleagues and I were less happy than they in this respect. As I have said, he begged and bargained for the influence Which induced Mr. Lincoln to vite him to a seat in his Cabinet. It was now fondly hoped, by those who had not sounded the depths of his depravity, that, being old and rich, he would take advantage of so distin guished an opportunity to prove that he could e honest, and could administer a trust with- Out turning it to his own profit, orhanding the fund over to his creatures, to be used on mint account. How sadly these hopes were disaTh pointed is attested by the brevity of his term of office, and the circumstances under which it closed. In less than one year from the day on which Simon Cameron was installed as Secretary of War, Congress—though at that early day it had before it but partial evidence of his crimes —indignantly drove him from that high office. Two-thirds of the members of the Lower House were friends at the Administration, and would gladly have sustained each member of it as they did its distinguished head. Ton can imagine how painful, it must have been to them to find themselves Constrained by duty to proclaim the fact that the nrst man the head of their party had been induced to appoint as the successor of John B. Floyd had exhibited Teater aptitude than he for his worst tricks. But it became inevitable, for this old man, notwithstanding his boasted and reputed minions be) levee that one of his name is nOYOr rieh enough until he has a little more, and, to save their party and the Coun try, the friends of the Administration in the House kad to- proclaim his infamy- and de nounce his crimes. Nor was the vote by which they did it a meagre one. His friends and those who would most gladly have averted this disgrace from our state, could rally but about one-third of the House against the reso lution of conagomation: The vote was about two to one against him, though I, as a Penn. lvanian, not willing to bear witness against the representative of our State, but too well satisfied of his guilt to vote against the resolu tion, failed to record my vote. 11l this fact, gentlemen, you have the secret or "this distinguished statesman's" hostility to me and my friends. Mr. Walborn, the Post master of Philadelphia, and- other of his crea tures, have offered me his friendship and sup- port if I would endeavor to have that resolu tion expunged. My reply has invariably been that to stir foul matter would be to produce a stench. I have never in this or alight else en deavored to propitiate him or his creatures. No stone may mark the spot where my poor remains may finally , rest; but I mean that my children shall be able to vindicate my name by pointing to the fact that Simon Cameron and his confidential friends were ever hostile to me. With grateful regards, yours, very truly, WM. D. KELLEY.

After Second Board, some thing of a panicky feeling was developed, growing out of reports of forgeries on the sub-treasury of New York. It was reported that gold checks on the Government as well as on the city banks had been extensively forged, and the money obtained, WO were unable to discover the particulars, and incline o the belief that the stories were manufac tured for stook jobbing effect. If they should turn out to be true, it would not at all sur prise us, as we appear to have fallen upon times of extraordinary bank rObberies, stock company swindling, forgeries, defalcations, and the like. Under the influence of these reports, Reading declined to 53, having sold at 53% at Second Board. There were very few sales of Government loans, and they were confined to 7-305, which were better, selling at WA. State bs were weak, and sold at 9014. The War Loan 6s were held at par. Pennsyl vania Railroad was steady at 57%; Camden and Amboy sold at 124--an advance of 34; Minehill at 5334, and Hazleton at 59; 53 was bid for Norristown ; 23 for North Pennsylvania ; 63 for Lehigh Valley ; 6(1 for Wilmington and Baltimore; 12.3 z," for Catawissa common.

The favorable accounts from this country in regard to trade and commerce, as affected by the renewal of business relations with the South, has opened the eyes of English mer chants and capitalists to the fact that America is rapidly recovering from the effects of her four years' war, and they are now beginning to congratulate themselves upon the advan tageous position which England holds as a producer with which our domestic manufactu rers cannot compete. The London shipping and Mercantile Gazette, in treating of the above matter, while acknowledging that the present high duties must prevent a full development of trade, is confident that there is ample room for profitable markets for the manufactured articles. It adds For some time to come we shall hold a supe rior position ht America, because we shall be able, so long as high imposts are levied upon raw produce, to undersell the States' manu facturers by sonic twenty or even twenty-five per cent. Naturally, the people will resort to the cheapest places of production ' and con tinue to foster trade even at the expense of native producers. The "arbitrary enactments" to exclude fo reign goods from the American markets have proved abortive, in its view, and while antici pating a severe reaction against the present system of internal taxation, thinks that no thing shoit of a Considerable reduction in home duties will place American manufac tures on a level with the English. A heavy internal taxation must compel the the people to economise their means, and ren der it necessary to import additional quanti ties of foreign goods for actual use and con sumption. For some time our merchants may have to struggle against adverse innuences ; but we may observe that at no time since Mc have our prospects of trade: in America been more favorable than at present. Various fo reign commodities may be heavily taxed, and every effort made to exclude England from any participation in the trade of the States; but we all know that consumption in America is enormous, that the wants of the Consumers are likely to increase considerably, and that a difference of live per cent, in favor of foreign productions will gradually destroy the home trade. In conclusion, the Gazette predicts a course of trade which, although not at all gratifying to us in a financial point of view, is yet one which has in advance been long apprehended by many of our capitalists; During the next five months we shall, no doubt, see a steady—perhaps a large—increase in our outward trade to America. In that case the exchanges will continue in our favor, and we shall draw moderate supplies of gold on merchants , account. The unusually high priCes at Which wheat and flour are held in America, notwithstanding their great abun dance, will prevent the settlement of trade balances by means ofroduce. This will be a serious drawback to American trade general. ly, because a continuous drain of the precious metals must eventually react upon the money market, although it is expected that the ar. rival of gold dim; from California will show a considerable improvement compared with the three previous years.
