A PLEA POE, IMP PRESIDENT.
- The only public personage in this coup
-try who never gets a week's holiday—who
is constantly beset by office-seekers, por
tion-prayers, pro motion -hunters, eager poli
tiCians, suggestive statesmen, unwearied
ravor-askers, and unabashed expectants—is
its honored and honorable President. Other
men, public or private, sometimes make or
lake time for a recess, for a change "from
labor to refreshment "—the President has
none. Day by day--even hour by hour--
with the slightest possible regard for his
own personal convenience, the President is
literally besieged by crowds who mainly
have their own interest at heart ; or,'at all
events, the interest of friends or clients.
'They beset him in tens, in twenties, and in
hundreds and each man expects that the
4etails of his particular case, or claim, or
solicitation 7 shall be attended to. If Mr.
Join - sox had the' voice, hearing, sight, and
mind of a dozen men, he could not face
half the trouble which encompasses him
from this perpetual source of trouble. Details
which,in other countries, are submitted to the
patient consideration of secretaries and in
telligent chief clerks, (who report thereon
to their respective principals,) here are
&aged heavily in, before the President
- himself, and the wonder is that, in their
multiplicity and variety, his mind is not in
s constant state of confusion. The fact is,
the President is looked upon as public pro
perty, and every one thinks he may have a
pull at him. This was very much the case
with Mr. Imecoiat t but much more so as
regards his successor. A man must have
the physique. of Hercules and the unwearied
mental strength of BROUGILLII to get
through the daily work to which custom,
and his own good nature, have subjected
President jonsesote. It is notorious tha
his lamented predecessor nearly broke
down under it, and something should be
done to mitigate the evil in his case.
The only relaxation which President
.Tonissolt has afforded himself, and that in
frequently, is a small trip in a steamboat
clown the Potomac. If his audience-seek
ing persecutors only Imew the exact time
when he is " eabined, cribbed, confined"
on board of a steamboat, on the Potomac,
no doubt they Would pursue him thither,
and probably shout their wants, demands,
requests, requirements, through speaking
trumpets—as brazen as themselves. He is
compelled to live, in a not handsome man
sion, nearly on the level of the river, and
otherwise insalubriously situated for sum
mer occupants, but were he to pass for change
of scene and purer air, and a little relaxation
from business, to Cape May or Newport,
Sharon or Bedford Springs, Saratoga or the
White Mountains, he must not expect the
slightest privacy. In each and every one
of these healthrenewing places, just as at
Washington, he would be followed, be
sieged, and persecuted by the old legion of
Office-seekers and favor-askers. Most pro
bably, his occasional trips on the water are
result of a conviction that he may he undis
turbed there, but there is no such happy
chance on dry . laud.
How differently, and how much better,
these things are managed in Europe. There,
the elijef ruler of a country is not bored and
botheredly crowds of supplicant's for office
or for other favori. Each application is re
ferred to the bead of some particular depart
ment, under which its subject naturally
places it, and the chief magistrate, (for,
whatever the title, it comes to that, after
all,) is notified of the result, and his final
adjudication upon them is easy and prompt.
If an European ruler wishes to spend a week
or a month at anyplace, in his own domin
ions or in those of a neighbor, and it is inti
mated that he desires not to be teased by the
manifestation of an ostentatious reception,
his desire is respected. He is allowed to
live, to act and speak, precisely like a pri
vate gentleman, and it would be considered
inexcusable bad taste to have him followed
by persons who have favors to ask or mere
curiosity to gratify.
There is a present example of this. The
Emperor Narorzole is now at Plombieres,
in the northeast of Prance, where the
mineral waters have proved highly bene
ficial to his health. There, without a
single soldier to guard his door, this Man
of Destiny lives the quietest life, going in
and out just as he pleases—strolling in his
garden, or in the village, or in the fields, or
on the public highways, having a few
friends as his guests, and no greater num
ber of servants in his household than any
gentleman of respectable income would em
plby. Nobody minds him in his retreat,
People do not rush from all parts of the
country to beset him with applications.
Sometimes he mingles freely among the
townsfolk and the visitors, but it is under
stood that he wants to be let alone ; that
he has come for rest and health, and his
wish is respected. Oddly enough, when
one thinks of the general impression here
that Narormsx holds his own in France
only by the bayonet-occupation of Paris, it
happens that there is scarcely a high oMeial
in that city during his absence. The Em
press was at Fontainebleau at the begin
ning of August ; two ministers of State in
Switzerland, and the rest severally at
Carlsbad, Aisne, Caen, Vichy, Dieppe,
Normandy, and Plombieres. The only
ministers at their posts were those of War,
Public Instruction, and the Imperial House
hold.
It Le the same way in England. During
the six months in each year between the
,close of one session and the commencement
of another, there is rarely more than a
single!Cabinet Minister in London. The
business of each Department goes on like
clock-work under the respective chief clerks.
Out of fifteen Heads of Departments, only
one remains on duty. Lord PALMERSTON,
-who, as Premier, has a power not much
diffetent from or inferior to that exercised
by our President, is 'never beset, during the
-six months' holidays, with people who seek
, office or ask favors. It is the same with the
other Ministers, who are not subject to per
sonal solicitations from any one, except in
very particular cases. Lord Pmaransrort
would never have readied the age of 81,
after having held public office for half a
century, if he had been subjected, even for
two consecutive years out of the fifty, to
the personal pressure which is likely to
s - hatter President JonNsow's health. And
there really is no occasion why Mr. Joux-
DyN, or any succeeding President, shall
submit to such a pressure. ' But ofElO
- with their patrons and fiiends,
have not the reputation of being so unsel
fish as to consider the comfort, health, or
well-being of any but themselves.
Ev - EN the most prejudiced of the English
journals are beginning to understand and
to confess that the people of the North have
a legitimate cause of complaint against the
rebel leaders, and especially against JEF •
PERSON DAVIS I for the inhuman and bar
barous treatment of the Union prisoners
during the war. This fearful stain can
never be eradicated and justice demandS
that, in some shape or form, atonement
should be made for the most fearful crime
ever perpetrated. The Northern people
are much more ready to tbrgive the people
.of the South than the latter are to forgive
:the former. The old principle of human
nature, that "it is impossible to forgive
those whom we have injured," apparently
prompts many of them to treat our proffers
•of friendship sullenly, and to nourish their
,old resentments. They find it difficult to
pardon us for defending effectually the
Union they endeavored to destroy. As
- soon es they learn to subdue their bitter
nesa, and to " bury the hatchet 17 as deeply'
is the. North is willbig to bury it, one of
Thef' greatest obstacles to a e.omplete re-
Prganization will be overcome.
DEATIE'OF TESWIta
We regret deeply to announce the sad
intelligence of the death of <I . II . SPER Rum.
mro, which occurred yesterday-at Cheatfillt
Hill. He has-long been known to this
community and throughout many. portions
of this and other States, as one of our most
intelligent, energetic, enterprising and
valuable citizens. Born in Philadelphia in
1709, he mastered the " art preservative of
all arts" in the office of the United States
Gazette, when he was a mere lad. At an
early age he commeneed the publication o
the Pennsylvania Inquirer, which main
tained useful and honorable position
among the journals of the nation, under his
management, up to 1860, when it was
merged in the Philadelphia Inquirer. He
was closely identified with other import
ant industrial enterprises, having been at
one time an extensive paper manufacturer,
as well as a publisher of immense edi
tions of Bibles. After the internal reve
nue bill was passed, he was appointed by
Mr. Lrxcora Collector of the First District
of Pennsylvania, which position he credi
tably filled up the time of his death. He
leaves a large family and a wide circle of
friends to lament his loss.
THE Nuniznous startling defalcations
that have occurred will, doubtless, have a
most wholesome effect in increasing the
caution of banks, bankers, railroad compa
nies, and business men, in examining into
the minute details of the management of
their financial affairs.. Every man will be
prompted to set his own house in proper
order. This increased vigilance while it
precipitates additional disclosures, will still
ensure so many judicious reforms that pp-.
portunities for fraud will be materially
lessened in future. The example of young
Kwrciin3ir, too, will, prove a more salutary
warning against the danger of rash specu
lations than the most elaborate homilies.
The whole land will see the dark side of the
dazzling picture Of success which is pre
sented by the gains of fortunate operators ;
and the advantages to mind, health, con
science, reputation, and even to fortune, of
a steady, safe career,' devoted to a legiti
mate occupation, will receive a new and
impressive attestation.
WHILE THERE are not unfrequent
.ac
counts of acts of injustice and oppression
committed upon the freedmen of the South,
it will be remarked that they are speedily
reported to the Freedmen's Bureau, and
that its agents rarely fail to secure prompt
redress. One of the latest cases'was the
misconduct of the Mayor of Mobile; but we
notice that he has already been removed,
and an officer substituted who will recog
nize and practically enforce the abolition
of slavery. While it is idle to expect that
a class that has for many , scores of years
been systematically wronged and down,
trodden, will suddenly secure respect for
their rights from all the cruel and vindic
tive men who abound in the rebellious
States, they can obtain as sure and speedy
redress for unprovoked attack OT injury as
any class of our population. Virtually, the
whole military power of the Goveruntent
stationed in the South is ready at the bid
ding of the agents of the Fre.edinen's Bu
reau to defend them, as well as to suppress
every form of insurrection. .
TEXAS PAPERS—To. 9.
I ended No. 8 in the midSt of the great stock
range of Texas; and as I was immediately
among the queer hills that lie west of the San
Antonio road, and as there lay the gest sheep
walks of the State, I will continue among them
long enough to give to my readers the tinkling
of.the sheep-bells during thdlowhilel am open
ing the secrets of
6HEPHEIDIIG
An this country is dotted over with the
cabins of stock-raisers, many of whom are
Northern men, and most_of them sheep
growers.
The brilliant success of iffr. Kendal, its
acknowledged profit, the beauty of the coun
try, the health of the climate, the cheapness
of land, and the enticements of a free and easy
life in a wild country, where good nature can
be coaxed back, and old galls healed over,
have induced thousands of men once flie
miller with court-rooms and counting-houses,
churches and doctors> offices, and all the other
busy scenes of active life, to lay aside their
cares and conventionalities, and here, in
cabins of their own rearing, surrounded by
their flocks and herds, to seek the quiet of
secluded lives and pastoral pursuits. Here,
with their dogs and traps, their rifles and
fishing-rods, and the few books that they best
love, these men, usually full of brilliancy and
talent, soon come to love the new home better
than the old, and to wonder that they toiled
and trilled so long among the troubles and
follies of society.
Perhaps I cannot better give you the modus
operandi of sheep-growing than by drawing
upon my own experience. If a stranger goes
to Texas with the preformed determination
to make sheep-raising his business, he shoold
go directly to Austin, and then crossing <the
.Colorado, and keeping himself west of the
San Antonio road, he may begin to look for
hisranch ; for all that region—and it is a great
one—is sheep country, and the best sheep
country in the State. For hundreds of miles
stretching along that road, west of Austin,
and lying immediately northwest of the read
itself, and reaching out for a very great dis
tance in that direction, lies the peculiar hills
and broken country described in my last
paper, having a plenty of-short, sweet, winter
grass, and good running water, for pasturage ;
dry and gravelly hills enough to secure good
health to the flock, (unless scab get
in,) and gorges and cedar-brakes enough
for shelter against the storms and cold
winds. Anywhere throughout all this great
region he may set down his stakes, provided
the surroundings are all right. First, he must
secure good water, with wood enough for his
fire, and rail-timber (cedar or post-oak) enough
for hiS sheep-Pens. Ile must also make calcu
lations for pasturage enough for his flocks
when they shall have increased largely. To
do this depends upon circumstances. If he lo
cates upon a stream having a very large tract
of un watered country behind it, he may buy a
few acres along its hanks, and a eedar-brake
lying near, and trust to the great open coun
try for his pastUrage. If he can secure a small
running place, of a stream that sinks ; or a
good spring, with no other water within miles
of him ; a few acres around the water, and the
eedar.hrake for pens will do him again. But
if he settles in a country watered on all hands,
he must buy a large amount of land for the fu
ture grazing of his flocks. Whoever cannot
monopolize the water around him, will soon
have too many neighbors, and too many flocks
too near him, unless he owns large tracts him.
self. By a law of the State, all herded flocks
(and all flocks must be herded to protect
them from wolves and dogs) must be kept
from trespassing. And any one owning large
tracts, can keep Other's flocks off them, if he
wishes to do so. But large tracts of unwatere4
country are always open to anybody; and for
sheep-raising, are only valuable to those who
control the watering places. But cattle and
horses roam over them at large, and going
long distances for water, find it where sheep
eOuld'nOt be driVen, The land being selected
and secured (bought at from fifty cents to ten
dollars per acre,) rail pens are made, "close
and high enough to keep out the wolves, and
in a sheltered position from the northers,
either on the south side of a bluff, a close
ceilarbrake, or a close stone fence. Along the
north Side a sheitor-shed is put 11n, made of
eretched posts and rails, with a roof, co•
vered with hay, straw, earth, or boards, to
turn the rains, and keep the little lambs dry;
end then the sheep-yards are ready. Now a

is usually better purchased there in the coun
tr3., as they are then aCelimated and not worn
down by long driving. Some buy in Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, or Missouri, and drive across
the country to Texas. But there is not one
man in a thousand has either the skill or
the patience to take a dock safely overland.
They cannot be driven; but must be Slowly
fed along over the whole route. This is slow
business to be three quarters of a year on the
way. -The drivers usually become tired, and
Impatient, and finally hurry their flocks to
death, or at least spoil them by overdriving.
Pure merinos are the most -proiltable - .5 but
being most expensive, Mexican and mixed
breeds are usually first purchased, and then
bred up, by crossing with merino bucks. In
A.D. li4iO, merino ewes were worth by the flock
about ten dollars per head. Good Missouri.
or mixed, five dollars j and Mexican, three dol
lars. A couple of generations breeding up, by
pure bucks, brings out a good flock, from
either kind. Still, the Mexican flockS are
nearly worthless for wool ; and as the flock
first brought sever improves itself but only
itB offspring, it 18 more profitable to buy, at
first, a better grade.
There has been and still is a great specula
tion in lane sheep. Everything..--that is, as
much as half-blood nierino—is sworn to be
pure ; and one has to be a judge himself, or
trust to some disinterested friend who 'is, or
his el:lances are ten to one to ,be cheated in a
purchase.
By a liberal application of oil, and a good
sifting of dust, a " half-blood" is made into a
very passable " pure ;" and by leaving them
unshorn for a couple of years, they are - made
t o carry a fleece that secures a groat sale. I
have seen bucks that had been so Axed !up: at
the North and sold in Texas for a hundred dol
tars apiece.
But with good or reasonable care, a purtiltager
need not be cheated, and:eat). get a flock of five
hundred good grade sheep; all ewes, with
"pure" buck; for about three thbusand dollars.
And 'to begin with, from Ave hundred to a
thousand is a good start., A shepherd and dog
can take care of five hundred the year through,
or a thousand at all times exeepting in the
combing season. There are but few ilocks - that
are ever fed above what they get on the
prairies ; but it is well to give them a little
corn, or oats, or cotton-seed, or a little culti
vated hay, through the months of January
and February. If the flock is kept healthy, it
is the most profitable stock-growing, in the
World. But a sheep once sick is as good as,
dead; and it is all folly to dose and doctor
after they begin to droop. .
THE PROFIT
is patent, when we begin to figure. A sheep
begins to increase at one year old, and, on an
average, her increase are half and half of each
sex. Now take these facts as a basis ; make no
allowance for ill luck or losses of any kind,
and calculate the" increase of a single ewe for
ten years, and it will be found that it comes to
over one hundred. Now multiply this by five
hundred or a thousand (the flock started with),
and thd increase is found so large as to make
the most careful man reckon over again,
expecting to find some enormous mistakes.
Such are the figures, and with good lnok the
Minty would be that substantially. Add to
this the annual clips of wool—say, on an ave
rage of four pounds to the fleece, sold at, say
forty cents per pound, and it foots up, from
the increase of a single`sheep, in ten years, on
the sale of wool alone, more than itlso. dad
wool in Texas is a money article, and can
always be sold at its value in New York and
Boston, less the cost of transportation and in
.
surance. •
But it is to be remembered that no business
ever comes up to the figures, because of ' •
rrn DuAWßAofts
Accidents, misfortunes, and ill!luek, are taken
into the account, and a liberal deduction made
on their account. Foot-rot, grub in the head,
and scab-like yellow fever, and cholera, can be
spoken lightly of at a distance; but when close
at Inime they are grave antra, and make the
parties in interest "mourners sad and seri
ous. "To doctor a sheep is all nonsense, for
when once sick they are bound to die. And
Btiii, in 411- business like this, where the
dgures show so large, the chances are greatly
in favor of success, for a large margin can be
given to accidents and ill-luck, and still the
profits be satisfactory. K. ST. JAZSES.
A Trip Through the Lehigh volley.
CCorxespoudence of The Press.]
EASTON, Pa., August 20.
Having just started on a tour through the
valley of the Lehigh, I lay before your readers
a short account of what I saw and did while
travelling through a portion of our State, so
rich in mineral deposits and in its growth Of
timber. Volumes might be written and
months might be spent in searching and in
vestigating in the mines and on the wooded
slopes of the Lehigh hills ; coal, iron, zinc,
Slate, and lumber are the principal products,
all of which are found in almost inexhaustible
quantities. The foot of its mountains are
pierced with multitudinous shafts by the
miners+ hands, and their wooded slopes re
echo with the stroke of the woodsman% axe ;
while the atmosphere is thick with smoke
evolved from the chimneys of foundries, and
rolling Mills.
Procuring a ticket Rene depot of the New
York Railroad, at Kensington, I was soon on
my way, crossing the Port Riehmondtermiuus
I of the Reading Railroad, with its net work of
6ideliiito lined with COal trains from the
Schuylkill mines. Speeding on, our train trav
els through Bucks county. Fields of waving
grain and ripening corn surround us on every
side ; hamlets and villas are passed, while to
our right the river Delaware gleams like a
"band of silver along the horizon. Bristol, with
its pretty little cottages, is left behind, and
our train soon reaches the long bridge, and
crosses over into Trenton. Here weawitch off
out to the track of the Belvidere 'Road, and
our route lies along the left bank of the Dela
ware. To our right the Delaware andßaritan
Canal feeder flows, with its numerous boats
gliding up and down, some laden to the gun
wales with coal or lumber, while others are re
turning disburdened. The memory is borne
baclaothe dark hours of the pl - volution, as we
view the place where Washington crossed the
Delaware in the winter of 1776, and we rejoice
in 'What those brave men have given us, as we
turn our eyes towards the spot where the same
noble general received the surrender of the
Hessian army. Steaming on, we pass through
Lambertsville, with its locomotive works and
ham mills. So, on we go, and in a short time
reach Phillipsburg. Here my story begins,
althoughthis place cannot properly be classed
among the towns of the Lehigh Valley.
Phillipsburg, one of the most populous
towns of Warren county, N. J., is situated at
the confluence of the Delaware and Lehigh
rivers, directly opposite Easton, with which
it is connected by two bridges, the one an iron
structure, used by the railroad company, and
the other built of wood, upon stone piers, and
commonly called the old Delaware Bridge. It
is built on the site of an old Indian village
called Cbinktewnnk. For many years the
hopes of the founders were not realized, as
their expectation was to draw off much of- the
trade which would naturally accrue to Easton
into their own hands ; but for a long time the
town consisted of but one street, and it was
not until the completion of the Morris Canal
and the New Jersey Central at lilrOad. that
affairs began to look up. Much of the land in
the vicinity of the town was bought by the
Phillipsburg Land Company, who, at a fair
price, sold it out in lots to these wishing to
build. In time it bids far to be of much flier+
cantile importance, connected as' it--is with
New York and Philadelphia; so .that thiongh
the means of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and
Monis Canal the wealth of iron, coal, and:
lumber from the valley of the Lehigh can be
easily transported to good markets, and to the
great seaports along our coast.
The principal 'manufactories 'here are en
gaged in reducing and working iron. -The
Cooper furnaces run out about two hundred
and thirty tons of ore per week, and, burn
about three hundred and forty-live tons of
coal in reducing the above amount of ore.
LefiVing Phillipsburg, we cross the river on
the old Delaware bridge into Easton, the
county seat of Northampton county, and a
town containing perhaps twelve thousand in
habitants. A singular custom was observed
in crossing' this bridge, and that was, while
the mule pasiengers were obliged to pay a
nominal toll, the female portion of the coin.
munity were permitted to pass over free of
chargé. The town was laid out in the year
1750, at the instigation of Thos. Penn, and was
named. Easton after the manor of his father-
Lord Pomfret. The name of Worth.
ampton county was derived from the shire in
which "my lord's" house was situated.
Passing up Northampton street, the princi
pal business thoroughfare of the town, we soon
reached the courthouse, situated in the centre
of the public square. This building was con
structed on the plan of carpenter's Hall, in
Philadelphia, and dates as far back as the year
1766, when the first court of justice was held
within its walls ; previous to that date the
members composing the court had met at the
differehtpublic houses.
Tha town is well supplied with water and
gas, both commodities being supplied by regu
lar compallika, On the north of the town is
Mount Lafayette, upon whose summit the col
lege of the same name is situated.
The only factories worthy of notice are the
distilleries, which consume about three hun
dred thousand bushels of grain annually, and
produce nearly one million gallons of whisky.
Leaving Easton proper, with its rectangular
streets and lanes, we reerose the river, this
time on the old bridge, into South Easton.
This place was laid out in the year 1833 by the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company; and at
this time contains a population Of about two
thousand. The motive-power of the iron and
cotton-mills is obtained from the dam of the
Coal and Navigation - Company, who charge a
certain rate for the. 'amount of water per
mitted to flow into the mill-course; The
depot of the .Lehigh Valley and New Jersey
is located here, and
presents a curious.. picture ~ : to the eye of a
stranger—the upper story being used as a
station by the New Jersey Central, while the
lower floor is - occupied by the Lehigh Valley.
The reason for this is that both roads are laid
on different levels, but they both meet on a
common level a short distance outside the
town. .
Wearied by nay wandering, I return to the
hotel, hoping soon to be able to address you
again farther up the valley. J. It. S.

lierreio, August 19.—The trial of Charles J.
Colchester, the spiritualist, for a breach of the
revenue law, in exercising his calling or pro
fession without a license, was commenced to
day in the Northern District Court of the
United States, before Judge N. K. Hall. Messrs.

Though Mr. Colchester professes to deal
with ghosts, he is far from having that ghostly
appearance for which the p ro f essors of his art
and mystery nsually receive credit. You look
in vain • for the cadaverous cheeks, sunken
eyes,

which thO members of his peculiar fraternity

What adds to the interest manifested in this
singular trial is the number of experts pre
sent, for.the furpose of giving their testimo
ny in court. t would seem that the country
has been ransacked for predestidigitatuers l
jugglers, sorcerers, magicians, necromancers,
and professors of the black art generally.
Among the most famous are Professor Ander
son, the Fakir of Ava ; Professor Karl Kahr,
and
Professor J. M. Macalister, whose evi
dence it is expected, will elicit a great deal of
fun. The court-room is crowded by eager
listeners and spectators, who are ansieugly
expecting the issue, as their feelings prompt
them out either side.
The District Attorney, Mr. Dart, in address
ing the jury said:
borne time last spring the prisoner gave se
veral public performances at tile city or Roch
ester, where he claimed to tell past,esent,
and future events by the, aid of the spirits of
the departed friends of his customers. The
Assessor of Internal Revenue required him to
take out a license as a juggler, which he re
fused to do. A complaint was made to the
United States Commissioner, William C.
Storrs, Esq., who held him to answer to the
Grand Jury at Canandaigua. The Grand
Jury found a bill of indictment against him,
the serving of Was. postponed—at
the prisoner 9 s request—to this time, and
is now before you for trial. If I show
to you that the performances of the pri
soner, and which he elaims to be the result
of spiritual control, can be performed, and
have .been performed, by men who can show
you how it is done, and who disclaim any such
influences, I trust that will be enough to es
tablish the fact that he is a juggler. If I can
produte to you a man to whom he has taught
the art of exhibiting' the blood•red writing on
the arm, and who can' achieve it—if I produce
to you men who willlestify that he has offered
to teach them the aft 'Of manic, bell-ringing,
&c., in the dark circles, and to whom he has
confessed that his rappings are a humbug, and
who saw bow they - were produced—men to
whom he has "confessed that he only assumed
the name of a medium because be could
make more money out of it in that form
—I think you will concur with me that the
community should be undeceived with
regard to him, and that neither religions
belief nor public good would be outraged in
compelling him to contribute his mite to sup
port the Government, to pay interest on the
public debt, and for. other purposes. There
are and ever have been tricks in what used to
be known as the black art—a jugglery—which
have baffled the inquiries of the curious, and
are known only to the practisers of that art;
and I will proceed to adduce evidence to prove
that the prisoner is a disciple of that school.
The following Witnesses were then called:
James Rogers sworn. examined by ldr; Dart :
Am travelling with Professor Anderson ; know
defendant since last March; made his ac
quaintance in Washington; was in Rochester
with liim last spring when he performed; a
handbill was circulated by him; this is it; it
was drawn up by Mr. Colchester.
Mr. Cook objected to receiving the handbill
as evidence, because it was not issued by de
fendant, but by one James Rogers.
Mr. Hibbard said a further objection was, it
was not shown that what was stated on the
bill was done, but merely stated what was to
be done.
Judge Hall said there was a difference be
tween putting out an advertisement, and an
other in carrying it out.
Mr. Dart : But I cannot prove everything at
once.
Witness resumed.-Cannot say how long we
remained inSßochester ; performed some time
from the beginning of May till the middle of
June; defendant had a large room with a small
one adjoining in Washington Hall, the rooms
were furnished with tables and chairs; the
small room Was lighted with gas, and. it had
windows; gas was not used in the des 'time ;do
not know what defendant did in that room;
saw him several times in the large room ; par
ties coming in called on Mr. Colchester, and I
received them in the large room, and. when
Mr. Colchester was at liberty he would take
them into the small room ; have seen him give
seances in the large room, answering written
questions ; ethey were written in all cases; the
answers were written too ; he gave rappings
on the table also in answer to questions to
the people who were there ; it was done
by placing the outside of the foot to the
leg of the table • know it was done so, because
I have seen it done; the questions were laid
on the table, and the rappings seemed to be on
the top of the table; the questions were taken
by him, answered and returned ; some of the
questions were whether any of the spirit
friends of the qiiestioner were present; Mr.
Colchester would give the names of deceased
persons by rapping; he would tell questioners
lei call out the a/phabet in their own mind,
and the rappings Would denote the letters as
they came up ; a great many persons palled
everyday; perhaps from eight to ten, and
sometimes more per day ; he had no other bus
siness ; have seen him receive money ; some
times two dollars, and sometimes one for his
performances; he acknowledged to me that
the rappings were humbug, and that I. ,must
take no notice of them; left with him from
Washington because I had lent him money to
get him.away„frrert !there, and I wished to get
tt back.ZVi.

him to take out a license, but to make applica

haps offered to take out a license and pay the
Government their demand, but not, in sub
stance, as a juggler ; he offered to make appli
cation as a spiritual medium;
s told him that
there was nothing in the law to authorize him
to take out a license as such ; he said he would
then take out a license as something. else ; I
rejoined that he must dO so within the law,
and that I thought he must do so as a juggler,
because I believed him to be one; I will now
correct an answer I made before ; think it
was before dinner I called on hitn, and he was
arrested after dinner; think more than an
hour intervened between our interview and
his arrest ; told an officer I would have Col
chester arrested within two hours, if he did
not make application for a license.
James Conelly sworn, examined by Mr. Dart :
Reside in Rochester; did sttlastMay; called
on defendant at his rooms some time in called
and May.
Mr. Cook objected to the testimony, as it was
back of the time when defendant was required
to take out a license. (Objection overruled
and withdrawn.) ,
Witness resumed.—Took to defendant's
rooms six questions, each in an envelope, num
bered from one to six; the envelopes were
sealed; defendant asked me to step into the
back room with him ; he objected to a friend
being with me; defendant and myself went in
together, when I laid the envelopes on the
table, he and I sitting opposite each oilier;
defendant took the envelopes in his hand;
and told me to write on a piece of paper
the name of a departed friend, keeping
my eyes on the envelopes all the time ; he
took the envelope and threw it through
the window • one of the envelopes dropped
under the table, and defendant askedgme to
pick it up y I drew it to me with my cane, keep
lug any eye all the time on the envelopes on
the table in the act of taking up the enve
lope, saw Mr. Colchester picking up one of the
envelopes with a penknife; told him to stop
that ; he handled them for awhile, then handed
them back, saying neither my spirits nor his
own would respond—paughter, which was sup
pressed by the eour—had no Dialler con
versation with defendant, but he told me to
call again ; I never did.
Cross-examined by Mr. Cook.—Beforegoing
to defendant had some conversation with Mr.
McCarthy about going there • had none with
any officials; Mr. McCarthy is in the insurance
business; had no conversation with defendant
about paying him.
Walter M. Fleming sworn—Examined by
Mr. Dart.—Am a physician,_ residing in
Rochester; saw Colchester there last May ;
called to see him at Washington Hall, out
of curiosity, as I had heard he had done
some queer things; wrote fourteen questions
in my odiee and put them in envelopes ;
next morning asked my brother-in-laws from
Detroit, to •go with me ; went and saw
Colchester; my brother-in-law was allowed to
go into the inner room with me—(witness here
described, the table, and where he and de
fendant sat, similar to the evidence of the pre
ceding witness)—laid the envelopes on the
table; defendant requested me to write the
names of three or fOur Of my deceased friends,
and throw them among the envelopes 5 the en
velopes were such as I use to put up prescrip
tions; I named to him two dead men and two
living, so that defendant could not see the
names; rolled the papers up in the form of
peas, when defendant said he knew not whether
lie could respond to my questions, as the cle
mentS had been unfavorable to him of late ;
'defendant took one of the envelopes, wrote
the answer on a slip of paper, and threw it to
me ; the answer was pertinent and applicable
to the
. questions ; he went through the whole ;
seine of them were pertinent, but not
true; some were announced alphabetically,
by rapping -5 in one of the questions re
quired the name or business of- one indi
vidual; told 1220 to write the names of live,
or six, or eight callings, and throw them
on the table, and when . he came to the
right one there would be a demonstration,.
wrote several callings., omitting the one 1'"
required ; pointed to them with my pencil,
and got no manifestation ; defendant asked me
if the word was written; I said it was not; be
then asked me how I could expect a manifeeta
-1 ion when the calling was - not written; at the
request of defendant I prepared another list,'
when there was a succession of striking or
ticking noises; defendant asked me if that
CIA correct; told him I did not knew, ion
did not point to any particular paper; tried
again when the rapping took place on my
pointing correctly; defendant then pulled up
his sleeve, at my request, to see some mani
festation of the departed, and showed me the
name-of a deceased relative, lit red letters,
en ids forearm ; the name was either J. Bur
ham or John Burnham 5 at his request rubbed
the writing, and it would not come of

it to show me ; my brother-in-law looked at
the writing, and said lie thought it resembled
the autograph of the deceased ; paid defendant
two dollars, which lie said was satisfactory;
the rappinge Were not wry Itemi Waalike
that (making a Blight noise with his hand;)
think I have imitated the rappings since, so
as to appear like sounding on the table; sub
sequently asked defendant if it was true he
could answer questions put up in sealed Cans ;
he said lie could if lie was in condition.; this
was about the time of the conspiracy trial
in 'Washington ; wrote three or four questions
about the trial, which I thought would be a
test; wit them in envelopes, and then in Milan
tin boxes ; took them to a tinker, and had.
them soldered; took them to the defendant's,
rooms, when the defendant laughed, and told
me to come next day, as lie was not then in
condition ; two or three days after went to
defendant% rooms with a young friend;

on him, and said he could get no impressith;
had a conversation once wHk. defendant, and
told him I did not believe he got his answers
by spiritual manifestations ; he then asked
me if I knew hoW he got his answers; replied,
it might be some spontaneous power within
himself of which I knew nothing.

appointment with defendant ; don , tknow that
he was aware I was coming.
The rest of the cross-examination was imma

some of them not pertinent ; had heard that
defendant was a prophet—[a laugh]—one of
the true answers was that I had a mare that
was knee sprung, but that she would be re

the writing on the arm was like an extravasa
tion of blood, or a scratch under the cuticle ;
there was no excoriation or roughness; saw
nothing like trick or sleight of hand.

repetition of the question, have I done so and

sell out over since. [A laugh.]
The case was then adjourned till Monday.
A New York Regiment.
The 15th Regiment New York Heavy Artille
rybas its reugter-rolls completed, and will be
mustered out to-day or to-morrow, and will
immediately leave for home. This regiment
left the defences of Washington, March, 1864,
and: joined the Army of the Potomac at
Brandy Station. It participated in twenty-one
engagements, the principal ones being those
of the Wilderness Spottsylvania, Cold Har
bor, Poplar Eirove,ieldon Railroad, Hatcher's
Run, and the final movement resulting in the
fall of Richmond and the capitulation of the
entire rebel army under LES.
They left the 'defences 2,070 strong, and re
turn with less than 900 men, while their torn
Rags bear testimony to the desperate and
bloody struggles through • which they have
passed.
The regiment has repeatedly been congra

action.
A Voter from the Tomb—The Monument

A young lady, temporarily sojourning at
Monument Parra, tear Paoli, Chester county,

on the monument at that place dedicated to
American martyrs:
" SACRED TO THE MEMORY

to British barbarity during the struggle for

On the back of the monument is the follow

by the contributions of the fellow-citizens."

Nexivz Smvsa.—Silver as well as gold, is
by no means uncommon in native mass, both
in and out of the rock. The discovery of sil
ver in metallic mass is by no means rare in the
history of Spanish America. Native lumps of
great value have been found In Mexico and
Peru-at different times. The Jesuit histories
of Sonora.and Lower California expressly de
clare the existence of silver metal en mama
massissas, or heavy masses, .found in the
Apacharia of the present Arizona as early as
17,0. The same statement they make of
rich copper and silver ores, which time has
put the seal of truth on since the treaty of
December, 1853. In fact, all the Jesuit histo
ries of the Americans have been found ex
tremely accurate as to their description of
natural facts, as to the Indians, geography,
minerals, etc. It will be remembered what
incredulity was expressed in 1853, on the pub
lication Cantain . Aubrey's journey to New
Mexico, at hiibeing shot at by the Indians with
bullets of gold. We have alWaySbelieved there

ratio Rivers—the scene of the gold-bullet bat
tle. It must be remembered there is no natu
ral or Bcientifio reason known to men why
gold and silver should not be equally as plenti
ful, naturally, as iron or lead. Let no man
dread their superabundance—they have not
been so common heretofore, as, previous to the
gold discovery in Califorma,the world was but
partially explored for such minerals. Even
vet the knowledge of mineralogy is only in its
mfaney—Australlit, Washoe, Pike's Peak, and
Frazer river are only the callow brood of Ca
lifornia. Gold in thread masses is known at
the Arnagossa mine—the " mountain of gold"
of the 1850 emigrants. Silver is known to be
largely mixed with the lead ore, and very
likely exists richly as argentiferous galena,
or rather as antimonial and galenous silver,
in all that region of country. In the Navajo
country , there is a range of mountains known
as the Sierra de Plata. The worst feature of
this country is that it is scarce of water and
grass, worse to travel in than the Washoe and
Carson river country; its immense deserts of
sand and volcanic storms, and dry hills, cut
up - with deep cations, are great obstacles to
mineral explorations, except on Government
account.—Amiyie Monthly.
THE FRENCH CAMP AT CHALONS—A KOOK
BATTLE or MARENGO.—The following details
respecting the Camp of Chalons are given by a
Paris letter writer : " The Camp of Chalons was
opened on the 29th of May, under the command
of Marshal Niel who has since applied him
self with unceasing perseverance to teach the
troops, as he expressed himself in his order
of the day, to distinguish well the duty of the
light infantry man left entirely to his own dis
cretion from that of the infantry of the line,
where each man remains immovable in the ,
ranks ; the duty of a few horsemen -sent for
ward to discover the enemy and harrass him,
and that of squadrons impeding by their de
monstrations the manoeuvres of infantry, and
charging them when they see confusion in
their. ranks. The Marshal being fully eon ,
vinced that light artillery can with facility
assist the, manoeuvres of cavalry, he desires
that they shall frequently act together ; and
he further wishes that the troops of the three
arms shall accustom themselves to act tO
gether and assist each other by marching and
imitating the various mancetivres practised in.
war. The troops are employed in simple ex
ercises, in movements by brigade and by di
vision, and in sham-fights.
" One of these fights represented the battle
of Marengo, and was a Subject of great pride
to the troops. In order to secure an exact re
presentation cif the battle, Marshal Niel caused
a plan containing the details to be distributed
to the different corps. Marengo is represented
by a wood,and the plain, which in that :place
is made to represent the plains of Lombardy,
offers at ,the commencement of the battle the
fine sight of an army of from ten thousand to
twelvethousand men inanceuvring In concert—
the infantry showing lines extended at one mo
ment and again formed into squares; the artil
lery giving . proofs of its audacity and prompti
tude of action by moving with the rapidity of
lightning to wherever its presence is required..
During the representation of the battle the
cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant
General Clerambault and Brigadier Generals
De Montfort and De Gerbons, repeated the
cavalry charges made by Kellerman and De
Champeaux, - at the moment when Dessaix,
marching to the sound of the cannon, fell un
expectedly on the Austrian troops.

The stock market had somewhat improved
yesterday, notwitfistanding the excitement
which still prevails to a greater or less degree
in financial circles. The failure of two of our
prominent banking houses, at the close of
last week, created considerable sensation " on
the street;" but it appears to have - blown over
as if nothing out of the ordinary routine had
occurred. This quiet submissionto fate, on
the part of victimized creditors, is a charac
teristic of the times in which we live, and
Shows an obliquity of moral principles that is
really remarkable. The stupendous rascal',
ties of Wall street are doing greater injury to
the country than at-first sight would appear,
for they have evidently weakened the bond of
commercial integrity and broken down that
confidence which should exist between honor
able men, engaged in the same profession. We
should be glad to chronicle that business was
restored to a healthy condition, and that there
was a less disposition on the part of every man
to suspect his neighbor. Notwithstanding
the reports to the contrary, we are assured
that this is not the vise in New York, also that
there is anything but serenity in Wall street.
To get out of trouble, we are told, strenuous
efforts are being made to keep up quotations
as high as possible, and no effort will be spared
to accomplish this, in order to divide the
burden of losses, and throw them upon credu
lous persons who believe in the sham sales
made from hour to hour and day to day. Our
advice is, for people who have surplus cash
to spare, to be wary of stock speculations
generally, and to shun gold speculations, too,
as delusive and dangerous in the extreme. The
combinations in Wall street are not to be
comprehended in a moment, or even by close
scrutiny; • but those who know what they
are, and who detest the dishonesty connected
%with them, are foremost in wishing that
all transactions may be real, and that stocks
of merely nominal value, and those wholly
worthless, may be erased from the list
where they have been entered by the ma
chinery of corrupt men to deceive the public.
Government loans have slightly improved—

It is estimated that by the Ketchum eXpliN
sion the stock exchange brokers will lose leas
than 050,000 altogether, and the banks holding
the gold forged , checks only about $500,000,
owing to the liberal cash dividend which the
estate of Mr. Charles Graham is expected to
yield at an early day,
There is now barely an average Of one na
tional bank a day authorized by the Comp
troller of the Currency. No more applications
for new banks will be entertained until Con
gress makes some provision for increasing the
amount of the eurreney, which is nOW
ie
stricted to three hundred millions.
The following remarks from the New York
Herald, on the baneful influences of evening
stock exchanges, are particularly appropriate
at this time :
The oVerations in stocks arid gold which
occupy the daylight houses in Wail and Wil
liam streets are exciting enough for the wild
est speculator,withoutcarrying the maddening
work into the night. Men can make and lose
large fortunes enough within the regular hours
of business, and it is not too much to ask of the
most greedy :speculator to pass the evenings
in rest with his family. The morning, with all
its excitements risks, gains and losses, will
come time enough. The necessities of business
by no means detuftrid the exintence of An eve,
lung exchange. It is the passion of gambling
that has created it and sustains it.
To its baneful influence we attribute all the
monstrous frauds which have recently come
to light, to the list of which two more were
added. on Saturday—the absconding of another
Wall street bank official and the acting freight
master of the Erie Railroad Company. The
frauds are going on always, and they will con
tinue to go on as long as gold is the god of the
People, and avarice their highest incentive to
action. They will undoubtedly continue as
long as such a system as that of the Evening
Exchange is permitted to exist. It is a crying
evil in the community, the nursery of, immo,
rainy, loose habits and unscrupulousness in
business dealings. We have had specimens of
its bantlings in the recent gigantic stealings,
the suicides, the disgrace to families, and sud
den ruin to many. It should be slmtup, then,
at once, and if it is not we shall not be sur
prised to hear of its being prosecuted as a nui
sance. Many houses which have bred less vice
have been so dealt with before now.
