Nor was it a whit more wonderful that, before many months elapsed, the politicians who hastened to get rid of the suspected anti-slavery Francis P. Blair, sighed for the restoration of his iron rule and sturdy diet, in place of the diluted obstructions and amusing common places of his eccentric and incapable suc cessor. The school of which Thomas Ritchie was the very best type, though fast dying out, is not extinct. Its disciples may be easily detected. They live in a sort of atmosphere of their own. Reared in the belief that slavery was a divine institution, their delectation was to revel in the teach ings of the States-rights philosophers. They made war something like the Moslems, who throw human lives away with a kind of cheerful fanaticism, and he lieved that that is a shorter road and a sweeter sacrifice to the blissful meeting with Mahomet. They have, therefore, come out of the rebellion in a very curious state of mind. To the practical eye there never was a people more utterly beaten and broken ; never a region more desolate than theirs. And yet these State-rights cheva liers are as cool and as complacent, and as unconscious of having violated their oaths and lost their honor, as if all had been a dream. You would suppose that they had either accomplished some great achievement and were waiting for the deserved laurel wreath, or that they had been inexpressi bly outraged, and were waiting for some public atonement and compensation. Let me give you the last best specimen. A few days ago I wrote a short letter, over my usual signature, advising the Southern peo ple that if their leaders coaxed the impeni tent Copperheads less, and trusted the mis represented Radicals more, it would be bet ter in the end; and I gave three reasons for this advice, via : that the Copperheads wanted power and could not get it ; that the Radicals have the power and would probably hold it; and that if the Southern people cheerfully agreed to that which the Radicals were resolved to secure, and had the influence to keep, and which_ the South could not prevent—name ly, the practical recognition of all the duties to the freedmen resulting, from the abolition of slavery, they would be generously and even munificently treated by these self-same Radicals. The advice thus tendered in good faith, has not been, I grieve to say, well re ceived by the F. F. V's., or at least by their organ, the Richmond Commercial Bulletin. When it is recollected that this sheet is per mitted to be published by a generous' Go vernment, and that the condition of its existence, that of a reasonable fealty to the authority of that Government, is insolently neglected, we have a fair sample of " the chivalry" in its abusive tirade upon " Oc casional." I extract a paragraph : The coolness of ' Occasionai's 3 propositions —the reckless audacity that induces him to plead the cause of the Radicals before the South (unless, indeed, our supposition that the faction he represents is in the market bidding for the smiles of our Southern rebels' and traitors'—not to say murderers, pirates,' 'savages,' and so on—he correct) we can scarce ly comprehend. That this destructive band of agitators and plotters against our, peace and welfare—this incendiary conclave Of diS tuners of the public weal, who, for years and years, devoted themselves to the task of arraying the - sentiment of the North against us, and finally com pelled us in self-defence to raise the standard of war against their encroachments—this furi ous brotherhOod of ahlOody-mindecl creed who first applied the torch to our political institu tions., and, amid the havoc of battle, urged their unwitting tools, the soldiers of 'the Union,' to cement the unholy inspirations of their - black hearts with the blood of our slaughtered people—this shameless, craven gathering of conspirators against the popular lights of the North and South alike—that these should call upon us now to 'diStrust and-de spise' those men who in that dark hour, when the gale was at its highest, and the ship at its most perilous extremity, stood manfully upon deck calling upon the mutineers to hold their hand, is indeed the - very ecstacy of an inso lence that goes beyond the circle of belief." Nobody but a thorough-bred F. F: V. could have perpetrated this.. He never thought what he was doing could only in jure his own people, and confirm the un just impression that the South was. con trolled by a set of ungrateful and reck less political scoundrels, who swear the most solemn oaths and ask for pardon in the most abject manner, only - to break the one and abuse the other. He never thought he was assailing, in terms at once 51a - odorous and indecent, the power ful party that held the free States, and that they could hold him and his fellow-traitors in complete subjugation, as long as the latter continued to show themselves unworthy of respect or confidence. He never reflected that these men could do without the South for a generation, and were in no way de pendent upon it for any one necessary of life, mental or otherwise. Not he ! the dear delicious scion of a dear delicious old stock ! He never thought of any. one of these things. He would only trust the -De mocrats, indignantly kick the Radicals, and calmly await the return, to power f his sympathetic friends I The closing threat is the most emphatic : "When the Radicals shall satisfy us that they are ready to atone for the errors of the past, in the better action of the future, we may,. accord to them, however faintly, something of the confidence that we now impose in the put. poses of the Democrats and Conservatives of the North. But should they persist in their malevolence—should they seek still further to attach to us the penalties that, by reason of physical force, theyhave almost placed within their g. rasp, we will await patiently. for , the day when all. shall yet be even—trusting to that justice that sooner or later overtakes the wrongdoer, and makes clear the vindication of honest purposes—that hour, indeed, when, under better auspices, our people may say, in the exulting clamor of a triumphant acclaim, that Bertram's right and Bertram's might Have net on Ellengowan , s height.' This gallant editor actually pants for another rebellion ! To avoid this, how ever, he will take an apolagy from the Ra dicals. It would be a mortal pity if such men. as these held the destinies of the Southern people in their hands. Happily, as I have said, the race. of empty TiotspUTS and noisy declaimers. is fading out before the robust common. sense born of the progress of broad ideas and made athletic in the bard attritiams. of a practical experience. The Our tion we have quoted would have read - well in the Richmond Enquirer or Sentinel, three or four years ago, and many "an ardent young Virginian" would have de voured it with gleaming eyes. Now, it is veriest balderdash of the most threadbare - of Bombastes Fut-loses. lam a little sorry for the bad taste of the Richmond My counsel was kindly meant, and, cer tainly, was affectionately expressed. But it is rejected with a gesture that Robert Macaire might envy. I am very sorry; not, indeed, as the Bulletin slyly hints, that in making it I was solicitous for the " smiles " or the " favors " of him self or his friends—for I fear they have not much of either to spare—but because of the loss of his society. It was supposed 'that the Radicals and Abolitionists, shmeh generally, would be forgiven, and taken back to the hearts and hearthstones of the unsinning, but sinned against, patriots of the South ; but the vision was too alluring. It was bright—" it was beautiful—but it is past," OCCASIONAL. Movements of General Grant. CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—Tbe State Fair held here to-day was well attended. Gen.

The Execution of the Confiscation Act Temporarily Abandoned in Loudon County, Virginia. (Special Despatches to The Press.] WASHINGTON, Sept. 7,1865 The City Railroads on Sunday. What adds to the attraCtiOne Of. Washington and to the comforts of the masses, is the inn ning of the cars on the city railroads on Sunday, A great outcry was made when The Chronicle, in a series of bold and fearless articles, a year ago, advocated this as a measure of justice to - the working people and to the Clerks of the departments, thousands'of whom have to toil all the working days of the week, and could not afford the extravagant hire of horses and vehicles on Sunday. The °amide was de nounced by a number of the clergymen, but its arguments were so conclueive that the railroad companies made the experiment. It was predicted that dissipation of all kinds would ensue. The result is, there is not any where a more peaceful city on the Sabbath day. Crowds go to church in these coaches of the people, and the most pious persons do not hesitate, in this city of magnificent distances, to go from Capitol Hill to West End and from West End to Capitol Hill to their re- SpeOtiVe places of worship, The different rural resorts are visited by large coneoursee, and no fighting or drinking has ever taken place. In New York the same course is adopted, with equally good results. Chicago, that most 'wonderful and flourishing of West ern 'Name, whore the people are at least as intelligent and as good as anywhere, has its city railroads in use on Sunday, and nobody suffers in consequence. Why should Phila delphia be in the background? Will your city fathers and leading- men never understand that it is the push and enterprise, and the really comprehensive benevolence that mark the West that have given it the prece dence in the race for empire? Your pro mtnent men must put more fire into their compositions or they will be left behind. The hundreds of thousands of workingmen who spend their Sundays at home, worn out after a hard week's work, and see their little ones cooped up in small houses or driven out into close alleys or hot streets, should demand from your city authorities the same deserved indulgence and Cheap facilities that are con ceded to and enjoyed by the producing classes elsewhere. The Washington Canal and Cholera. The open and exposed condition of the Washington canal, the stagnant deposits in which breed all sorts of malaria in this hot weather, excites much discussion, and sur prise is turning to anger that.themunicipal authorities continue to be indifferent to the universal wish that it may be arched or Cleansed, so as to prevent an invitation, as it were, to contagious disease. The unusual health of Washington, notwithstanding the' myriads of men that have passed•through and surrounded it since the beginning of the re bellion, and the enormous refuse growing out of the cattle, horseS, and provisions, Congre gated here for their transportation and sustenance, ought not to lead the Go vernment or the local authorities to• sup pose that the cholera-would leave us un touched, In view of the wonderful growth-of the town itself, and the preparations for the approaching session of Congress, which will be of the most interesting character, attract ing people from all parts of the country and the world, the President. should take charge of these matters himself, and should let the People's representatives decide whether the accruing expenses should be paid out of the National treasury or by taxation of the citi zens here. Amusements in Washington. Last night the circus was attended by from three to four-thousand persons, and Grover's Theatre and other places of amusement were Ruled. The want of a fine concert hall has long been felt in Washington, and I understand that our enterprising -citizen,- Mr. Wm. U. Mar -211120TT, one of our most extensive music. deal ers, who has just returned from Europe, has purchased China Hall, a large store on Penn sylvania avenue, near Eleventh street, the second story of which will be fitted up in good style, and prepared for a coneert-room Of the first-class. The location is admirably adapted for this purpose. The hotels are well filled,: and travel to and from the South is rapidly. Increasing. Entertainments of all kinds are going on in the neighborhOod. Washington is certain to be one of the most prosperous and Populous cities in America,nud its destiny in this respect will be sure if Congress begins operations by giving it other railroad connec tion with the East and the West. It is a shame that we should -have but one line with these great sections, while Richmond is united to the South by five great thoroughfare& W. W. Corcoran. The inteiligencer, of this morning, states that Air. W. W. CORCORAN has announced his inten tion to return to Washington, after an ab sence of .more than Whr years. lie will be much surprised to find the city which has been the scene of the acquisition of his great fortune, so much changed during that time. What many Of his former associates expect ed to rule as aristocrats and despots, or to ruin by the sheer force of their conquering armies, is now a real National metropolis ; he will find slavery abolished, a new spirit infused into society, and his thousands of acres of land vastly enhaneed,in value. I have not heard that Mr. CORCORAN took any violent part with these men, while. in Paris. Ire was, undoubtedly, on intimate terms with Mison and SLIDELL and. that set, and his son in-law, Brants, was a . somewhat noto rious iiieW Orleans secessionist. But Mr. COnoonAN never was a politician, and if he bad any dealings with these wretched plotters, it was because of his personal asso, cation. It is to be presumed that he and the. GOverliMent have a fair -understanding as to. their future relations. Where is Joe Lane ? A gentleman now in the city from Oregon, states that JOE LANE IS living on his farm near.

The President,' in? the intervals of public business, received a few only of the visitors. To have opened - the door of his office to all comers at once, with the thermometer indicating about ninety degrees; would have exposed him to the risk of suffocation. Fifty.two pardons were yesterday granted by the President. Today some of those who were so favored impatiently repaired to the State Department to obtain the Secretary's signature to the documents. Gen. 111 - eamenens, well known as a• promi nent officer M the late rebellion, is the first one to avail himself of the privilege of going abroad and remaining without the United States during the pleasure of the Government, and has received a passport accordingly. Gen. BEALUMIARTY has also applied for a pass• port under the same Official order of the DO , partment of State, through the medium of a - sympathizing lady friend from Alabama. The Claims of New York Governor Feerrow is in Washington on busi ness connected with the muster-out of New York troops and the settlement of the claims of the State against the general Government. It is understood that about one million four hundred thousand of these claims are favor ably considered, and a draft will be imme- Mutely drawn in favor of the state for about $BOO,OOO. The Governor is of the opinion that vouchers can be produced that will result in the speedy adjustment of nearly the whole amount, if not the entire Claim, itself. The Compound Tnterest Notesa The Treasury Department has printed thir ty-six millions of.the simper cent. compound interest notes, to replace those received in business transactions. The right to issue them for the five per cent. interest note's is also conferred by law. By this arrangement about 15300,000 of accrued' interest has been saved to the Government withinthe last three months. All of these notes are legal tender. There is no increase of the currency, hat merely the issuing of new notes for old ones at a saving to the Government. Contributions for Wiin. Instead of receiving donations for Captain Wing, it appears that Errresaorsc, FOWLER Co., of this city, have only consented to re ceive on deposit in the ordinary business way.

Major General HOWARD has ordered the agent for Loudon county, Virginia, to suspend action with regard to property claimed to be confiscated, till the record shall he carefully revised and Corrected. This it is believed, will tend to allay the distress and consterna tion excited by the publication of the order for the confiscation or appropriation of a large number of farms in London county, for the use, of the Bureau of Refugees and Freedman. Sudden Death of an Ordnance Offider. Lieut. S. B. Wurivotern, soon after playing a game of billiards last night, died, of conges tion of 'the brain. From papers found on his person, it appears that he was a member of the 18th New York -Cavalry, had been on duty in the Ordnance Department, and had just set tled his account. An Important Error Corrected. A verbal error which has appeared in some of the newspapers has been deemed of suffl Went importance for official correction, The Secretary of State says the section in which it occurs is as follows: "'And be it further enacted, That all persons' now by law entitled to a less pension than heretofore specified, who shall have lost one Riot and one hand in the military service of the Vnited States, and in the line of his (their) duty, shall be entitled to twenty dollars per month." This section, the Secretary says, is printed in the pamphlet edition of the laws of the last session of Congress precisely according to the Original roll, with the exception that the word his is underscored-that is, put in italics—and the - word " their " put in brackets, the reason for which is obvious. The error is that the newspapers have printed the word " or," in stead of the word "and," between the words "foot" and "hand." The Acting Commis sioner of Pensions says that without this cor rection the business of the Bureau would he uselessly increased without benefit to anyone.

Oppiaartioar To Biwa D-STREET RAILROAD —MEETING OF - RESIDENTS ON THAT STREET.— Last evening an adjoin% led meeting of resi. dents of North:Broad strrai it, who are opposed to the construction of at z .'ailroad on that tho roughfare, was' held' attire hall of the mecha nic- En g i ne comp a ny, az a ut fifty gentlemen were present. James ratson, Esq., pre sided, and Mr. A..91`/VillEr WIN chosen secretary pro fem., in the absence Of Ch e proper official. Wm. J. Howard, Esq.,- mat, e a lengthy ad dress, insisting -that the mat. ter was purely a speculation on the part Orta tomanagers of the proposed railroad, andt A 1 that account they deserved no mercy Ikon, the citizens. The company had promised the .t they would use horses on Broad street, but s such promises were only individual. and he - did .. not put much faith in them.. Every legal MK should be employed to defeat them• in this , ir object of thus marring the beautflied overact . of our city. Mr. George F. Gordon said that a Tempt and inimetilate action was necessary,. a r the com pany might get their road-laid befoi "e the pro per legal means could be-used to. eL ibar them from so doing Mr. John Dr :Kennedy began by atm Ping that he was a director in five different raffia rays, and this at least gave him some knowiedl m of the subject. The circular,- which was. to be pre sented to, the various - candidates-, went far enough, but the question; after all, ve - as one which the people at /arge had a right to de termine. If they would declaim it nod eggary, there would be nothing to be - said:. But he did not believe that such would-be the ea se. It was necessary, however,•that a report sl'iould be contradicted. It was stated.-that the I 'ann. sylvania Railroad Company hadt furnished a part of the money for .the furtheranoo of the seherne. AS one Of the city direciors on that road, and representing the Bowe amount of stock owned by the city, be would say that no one connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad had furnished means for it or - had any sympathy with the matter. This matter, however, would be pro perly cn - posed by the lad investagatiOn. In reference to the use of steam on the road, he said that in former charters the other cora• panics were restricted to the gauge of live feet two inches, and the use of horse-power. This charter, however, contains the- sweeping declaration that -the company is. conferred with all the rights, powers, and privileges which are now enjoyed by any railway Com pany chartered by the State of Pennsylvania, and any acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this proposition are repealed. Where, then, would be the brunt of this I The compan y could lay a track of four feet cightkand a half inches on the street, and -thus make the connecting link between the• Trenton and the Baltimore Railroads. It was reported that the Company had made contracts for laying the track and building cars of the gauge of five feet two inches but no one could know what would be the po'icy of the road two years hence. It was his conviction that the conapany intended to make it a first-class freight road, as well as a passenger road, because it was nothing but a speculation, and that was the only way in which it could be made to pay. If the people of Germantown want better accommodations, let them buy enough stock of the Norristown Railway tO control its management Norm of them, he thought, wished to make this-assault upon the rights of the Broad street residents. A gentleman stated that he understood that an official of the city government was con nected. with the proposed railroad in. a high capacity. Mr. Evans, member of Council for the Fif teenth ward, said that he would use- his in flame in the matter, and bring it before Councils at their meeting. It was resolved that an address be presented to the various candidates of both parties now before the people for electipn, in order to ob tain their views upon this Subject, Sin: By direction of a public meetiagof your fellowmitizens, we request you as a candiclate for toinform us whether, Ifelect ed, you. will, exert all your influence and power to procure the passage of a law provi ding— First. That. no public street in the, city of Philadelphia shall hereafter bc occupied by any railway or railroad company, without the approval and consent of the City Councils be ing first obtained. Second. That in all cases hereafter, when any such street is so occupied, the damage there from, to owners of property fronting thereon, whether direct or consequential, sfiall be le gally- ascertained, assessed, and paid forhefore such occupancy shall be allowe. These pro positions, while so plain, are so important to your fellow-citizens, whose suffrages you ask, that we confidently rely on your deSnite an swer, which pieuse give us in writing, as it is made a part of Our duty to eye publicity thereto. After some further discussion the meeting adjourned. THE LOYAL LEGION.—The soldiers Of the late war evince no disposition to let die the associations and memories Connected with their campaigns. They would not be Ameri cans if they did not cherish with an undying love the precious associations of the, glorious battles of the rebellion. Theirs is a glorious record, and they do well to perpetuate the glories of the strife. We have received a pam phlet entitled "Constitution and By-IaWS of the Military. Order of the Loyal Legion of the United, States." We learn that the Legion numbers many thousands. of members in every loyal State of the Union. The Order was in stituted. April 15th, 1885, though the-officers are not yet alit chosen. It is stated that General Grant will hold the highest official, position in the organization, and thatotheidistinguished generals will occupy prominent positions in the society. It is designed that the Legion shall bear the same relation to the late war that the Society of the Cincinnati did to the war of independence. The preamble sets forth as foIIOWS We, the officers and honorably discharged officers of the Army, Navy, and Marine- Corps of the United States, whose names are an nexed, do ackowledge as binding upon the 'conscience an required by all the precepts of our holy religion, as a part of our allegiance to God unqualified loyalty to the ttovernment of the United States of North.Apierica ; and in remembrance of the dangers and glories to• gether slumed in the support of thissacred duty, do hereby solemly associate and combine together in the establishment of, a permanent and perpetdel organization. The °Wet of the order is stated to be to perpetuate the memories and associations of the war; to strengthen the ties of fraternal fel lowship and sympathy Which, pre-eminently exist between compaidons-hi-arms to advance the best interests individually awl collective. ly, of those associated together ab members of the Order ; and to extend all possible relief ;to their; widows and children.; to protect the rights and liberties of American citizenship and to maintain 'national honor, union, and. independence. IZETURNED VOLUNTEERS, ATTENTION The absence of the soldier from his tionie, and his acquired right in the meantime to vote in. the field, rendered it unnecessary to embraCe his name in the new assessments daring, the war ; but, now that the soldiers have returriedi it is .11eCessary, before they can exercise their rights at the polls, that they should be pro- perly assessed. Soldiers should not fUil to at, tend :to this important matter. Many of them have changed - their .residences, and. reassess ment is necessary in that event-also," The alth of the present nuanth is the last day for bayin the assessments properly made. This Is ashore period for the performance of. suchttn.lisport ant duty. Lei the brave menwho. have won their right to be heard at the .polls have the privilege of exercising them.

But few spectators were present on account of no public notice havingbeen given that such a match was to come off. The ver dant Crieketers of the Camden batted well. It was observable, during the game, that the swift underhand bowling was more effective than the round-arm, which is the reverse of what is most frequently the case. The base ball boys fell an easy prey to the cricketers— the latter winning by ten wickets. A base-ball Match, between-the two clubs, will occur at an early date, when the Caublenites arc expected to reciprocate—as far as being victorious is concerned. We annex the score: FIRST INNINGS.

It has, in the length of time since the business of its manufacture and shipment was begun, done more to de velop the commerce and manufactures of the Silty, and to add to its wealth, than any other single article of export. Markets for this im portant article are being established every., where, and the demand is becoming more regular in its character. With more capital and energy, the importance of this article as an export will exceed that of anthracite coal. To assist in its speedy shipment, lines of con necting railway have been laid. The branch railroad from Blairsville, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, to Freeport enthe Allegheny river, is completed and ready for use.
