Xetiter from Berne—Description of the Town—A Remarkable Tower and CloCk —A Strange Custom—The Almi—Demo Cathedral—The Museum —How the Swiss Confederation is Governed. [Correspondence of The Presg.3 BEENE, MIT2EMLAND, August 16, 180. ROW THE TOWN or RiaZNE LOONS. I arrived here some days ago, and, having since that time visited the town thoroughly, Win proceed to give you a short description of the place and its o wroundings. Berne is the capital of the canton of the same name, and Is the seat of• the general government; its Vopulation is about 29,000. It is situated upon a high plateau, and, upon three sides, is sur. Tounded by the river Aar, the banks of which are about one hundred feet in height, and along which are some beautiful promenades. The fortifications of the town, now being use less for defence, have also been turned into promenades, upon which, in the evening, bands are playing from seven until nine o'clock. The streets have a very peculiar appearance, as the houses are all built of mas sive stone, and generally rest upon arcades, which latter, upon a cloudy day, nine tlic aidewalks rather gloomy. THE WATCH•TOWER AND CLOCK. One of the sights of Berne is the old watch tower, which now stands nearly in the centre Of the city; it is surmounted by a large clock but the chief attraction about it is the move Inept of some puppets on its front, upon the striking of the hour. Just before the bell Strike', a large cock flaps his wings and crows, then a figure above strikes the howls npon two small bells, suspended near him, whilst a pro cession of bears, most fantastically dressed, liasse3 in front of a king, who waves his sceptre over them, and reverses an hour-glass, which he holds in his right hand. The king's guard consists of one large bear, standing erect, and armed with a spear, who, during the striking, wags his head solemnly from side to side. Af ter the striking, the cock again crows, and this finishes the performance. 1 must tell you that the great distinguishing mark of Berne is the g'bear." You can see the device in every Street and almost in every store. The word "Bern," in the old German, signifies "bear," and this animalforms the armorial badge of the town; for many years living specimens of the animal were kept here : but when the French took possessioti of the place in 1758, they were 'removed to the "Jardiu des Plantes," at Paris, 'hut when order was resumed, these favorites were replaced hi Berne; there are now several here in .a large den near the city, and there is a fond maintained for their support—throw ing anything to them, except fruit and bread, is strongly prohibited, under a penalty of punishment by law. IMEIME2 The greatest beauty of Berne consists in the tnagnincent view it affords of the Bernes Alps. They can be seen from all parts of the city in clear weather. The most prominent is the peak of the Jung fran, 7, towering up thirteen thousand seven hundred feet above the level of the sea. At a distance their tops have more the appearance of clouds than of mountains, and one scarcely realizes at first that they are indeed the Alps. At sunset their appearance s sublime, as the slanting rays of the suu give hem a most beautiful pink tinge. The public buildings of Berne are worthy of particular notice. THE CATHEDRAL The cathedral or " Minster," is a line Gothic building, begun in the early part of the fif teenth century, and has some fine sculptures over its western door, representing the " Last Judgment." The interior has nothing worthy of notice, except four large stained_ glass win. Glows, which are curious from the grotesque.. Tess of the figures upon them ; they are called • 4 wafer windows," as they consist of.repre pentatiOns of the Eucharist. There is a great deal of carved work upon the outside, which resembles very much the cathedral at Stras burg, so noted for its " open work." EMEEMBEI The museum here is also worth a visit ; in addition to a flue collection of birds, theyhave the stuffed skin of " Barry," a large dog of " St. Bernard," who, it is said, had saved fifteen /Ives by his exertions and sagacity. The Palais Federal, or Council Hall, is the finest building in Berne; here, during the month of July, the national Council holds its sittings. It is built of the same kind of Stone and resembles very - much the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company's offices, on Third_ street, Philadelphia. In front of the building is a beautiful marble fountain, surmounted by a figure representing Berne and surrounded by four bronze figures of the four seasons. The ground around the building is laid out in Rue gardens, full of flowers. ROW SWITZERLAND IS GOVERNED I will endeavor to give you some idea of the Government of the Swiss Confederation. The Executive power is vested in seven Men, 'who are termed the "Federal Council,. anm who are elected by two bodies—the "Ns tional Assembly. and "Council of States.--for three years, One of the Federal Council is termed "President,• anti is chosen by them selves for one year, but no authority what ever is given him ; his duty is merely to re ceive foreign ambassadors and to preside over the Federal Council at their session. The National Assembly consists of a body elected by the people for three years, at the rate of one member to every 20,000 souls; and the Council of States, consists of 14 members, two from each State or Canton and these are elected by the LeaislatUre of each Canton; they serve one year. The regular sessions are held during the months of January and July, and usually last from three to four weeks. As three different languages are spoken in Swit zerland, viz,: French., German, and Italian, the speeches are delivered in the native lan guage of the speaker, but interpreters imme diately translate them into the other tongues. Altogether there is a great resemblance be tween the workings of the Swiss Confedera tion and Of the United States. C. MEXICO. Correspondence between General mejla and General Steele Relative to Cur linos, Movements. NEW ORLEANS, Sept.ll.—The Matamoros Mo .. tido:* contains an interesting correspondence between General ltejia and General Steele. The former complains that Cortinas had fired on a body of Imperialists while in transit, taking refuge in Texas. General Steele replies, regretting any viola tion of the international laws, and says that it was against his express injanetioll. Cortina, he said, bad complained of a similar outrage onthe part of General 151cjires men. CAIRO THE MOBILE AND OTIIO RAILROAD /WENT]) CAIRO, Sept. 11.—The Mobile and Ohio Rail road has been opened on its entire length, and the mail :from Mobile and intermediate points 'was forwarded to-day by newly-established Steamers between here and Columbus, Ky. Major General Grierson has arrived here, bound south. The steamer General Bragg, known before the 'war as the City of Mexico, left here to day to take her place on the line between New Orleans and Galveston. - 1,700 Wes of cotton have passed here for Evansville and Cincinnati, and 850 for St. Louis, and NO bales have been discharged here. The cotton market at Memphis has advanced to 341450. Receipts, 1,465 bales; shipments, 1,100 bales; stock on hand (estimated), 0,171. The receipts of the new ern from Vicksburg are mainly inferior grades, and not much sought after. The National Telegraphic ration en=6).ca, Slot 11.—The National TvlcsFaPhie Union•met this afternoon at, the Concert Hall Of the Opera House, and was called to order by President Hammond, of St. Louis. The reports of the president, treasurer, and correspond ing secretary were then read.

All of the Northern States are represented in the Convention. The South carotins Etettion. NEW 'Vona', Sept.ll.—Late advices from South Carolina state that the election of delegates to the State Constitutional Assembly passed off quietly, On Tuesday, Only about a quarter Of the names on the Union ticket is elected. The majority are Conservatives. wane JUMP ton and several officers of the late rebel army have been returned by large majorities. The Indiami. FORT SMITH, Ark., Sept. B.—amtga Cooley read an address to the Indians in council to day, which was responded to by the Chero kees, to the effect that they had no power to treat, but would refer any proposition the Government would make to their National Council. The responses from the other tribes were of similar character. The Indians now here , only represent a minority of those expected; but those who went with the South will he here in a day or two, when it is expected anti -cable arrangements will be made between themselves as well as with the Government. Definite plans will be proposed to-morrow, to 'which a decided Ammer will be required. Virginia and the President. BALTIMORE, Sept. 11.-,The Richmond Repub- Zfe of this morning say: Charles Palmer, one Of the COmmittoe appointed by a mass meet ing of eiti2ens, for the purpose of inviting the President of the - United States and his Cabinet tO visitßicirmond, publish e s a r epo r t of his in terview, in which he says: "The President spoke with much feeling in relation to the unhappy situation of llielnuond and of the condition of the South generally, which, I think, he will help as muc h as air . umstances will allow. Take hint all in all, I do not believe any proud mo narch of Europe, whose race of kings by _Divine right has flourished a thous.and years of time, has anlearer conception of his duties, and knows better how to temper Justice with mercy than Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee . From my interview with the President I drew the most cheering auguries. It impressed me with a conviction that the South will find in him a friend and protector if she will come up to his.rcouireniente cheerfully, and accept, with true heart, the terms of reconstruction offered. With one heart, one voice We will greet his coming to this old Commonwealth." General Meade and staff arrived in Rich• mold OR Sunday afternoon. Visit of Secretary Seward to Richmond. BA LTIMORE, Sept. 11.—The Richmond papers of this morning have been received. The Richmond Republic says: lion. Wm. . Seward, Secretary of State, accompanied by his daughter Miss Seward, and son Frederick and lady, arrived at Rockeits yesterday at Moon on the steamer River Queen. General Perry and Governor Peirpont, hav ing been apprised of the expected arrival, met them at the boat. The Secretary and his daugh ter were assigned to seats in an open barouche with the Governor and General Terry, while Slr. Frederick Seward and lady were escorted to another Carriage by General HaWley, The whole party then proceeded up Main street, passing through the burnt district and other points of interest. Their sojourn was neces sarily brief, as they had made arrangements to leave the city for Washington early in the af• ternoon. Mr. Seward expressed himself highly pleased with Richmond, and promised to return in October with his family, and accept the kind hospitalitieS Of the Governor. He also pro poses to visit various other sections of Vir ginia. An Important Correction in Henry A. liVise's Letter. NEW YORK,Bept. Richmond papers make an important correction in the reading of Wise's letter to General Grant. Instead of saying " Long be. fore the war, indeed, he had made up his mind to advocate emancipation,” be said "long before the war ended? , It thus appears that the war had produced the con version. ErnigratiOn to North Carolina. WILMINGTON, N. C., Sept. S.—There is now a considerable tide of emigration from the North, most of it under the auspices of the General Southern Land Agency, which estab lished an ofliee for the Northern States at No. 62 Broadway, New York.- The company offers land for sale throughout' all the Southern States, and its agents estimate that at least 100,000 emigrants will go frcim the Northern States during the present year, • Mader at Augusta, Georgia. NEW roan, Sept. 11.—The Savannah papers contain an account of the murder of Captain ileesler, 33d U. S. Colored Troops, at Augusta, on the night of the sth inst., by three young men, members of three Of the most respecta ble families of the place. It appears the cap tain was discovered in company with a mulat to girl, the mistress of one of the young men, and they, fill attacked him with their revol vers, one of the shots penetrating his neck and proving mortal. Not satisfied with this, they fell npon his prostrate body and inflicted several ghastly cuts with their knives. The affair had caused such a wide-spread ex citement that there was danger of a riot, and threats were made of burning the city; but the assassins were arrested, and quiet was restored. Destructive Fire li . Pittsburg. Between two and three o'clock on Sunday morning a lire was discovered breaking out between the towboats River Queen and George Albree, lying alongside each other at the levee on the Monongahela river,below Ferry street. The flames spread rapidly, and the boats were soon completely enveloped in fire, Caus ing the greatest trepidation amongst the comparatively small crowd as yet gathered, there being every appearance of a most I disastrous conflagration, The wharf below the scene of the lire was lined with steamers, and a stiff breeze blowing in the direction of the Point. A towboat - was at hand, and the steamers being lashed together, were drawn out into the riverjust at the criti cal moment when the Albree, her fasten ings having been burned loose, commenced floating down. Her wheel lodged against' the bow .of the Coal Valley, rendering this boat in the most imminent danger. Through the promptitude of one of the assistant engi, neers, Mr. David Hall, the Neptune engine changed position, and was brought to _the im mediate point of danger, and a - stream of water was thrown urn it until the danger had passed. The A bree and River Queen were burned to their hulls, and their ma chinery was therefore greatly damaged. The flames communicated to a small, partly-built towboat of Mr. Wm. Hanna, :and her upper works were considerably damaged. The River Queen, upon which it is said the fire ()rte. Dated, was in the sheriff's hands, having been seized for debt, and is owned, we understand, by a New York company. She is . almost a total loss, judging from the crooked and warped condition of her hull. The hull of the Albree was being Dumped out on Sunday afternoon, and also other preparations made toward its removal. This boat, which is some 'twelve or fourteen years old, is owned by Mr. James O'Conner. The cause of the fire is not, we believe, certainly known. Some attribute it to ineendiarism. Since writing the above we have obtained some additionatparticulars. The River Queen was anew boat, valued at $28,000, and insured in Pittsburg companies for -2".2,000. - She was tied.up 3, by Sheriff Stewart on the 21st of duly, liens having been filed against the boat to the amount of *14,347. At the time of the breaking out of the lire, the engineer, W. C. Champlin, was on boad, asleep, and there were also on the boat the Sheriff's watchman, and a private watchman. Mr. Champlin owns one eighth interest, and the remainder is owned by New York oil operators, The boat was de signed for the Allegheny river trade. The Afbree, as we have stated, was owned exclu sively by Mr. James O'Connor, and was not in sured. Loss about $2.0,000. Mr. is' loss, /11 the damage to Ids new boat, is covered by an insurance of 0,400. The ateam-tug Venture, at the breaking out of the fire, was pumping out a barge on the opposite side of the river, and hence her services in rescuingboats moor ed contiguous to the fire were readily made available, having steam up. The steamer Minnie was on fire, but was out loose from her moorings and the names extinguished by some citizens, who we understand, design claiming salvage.—Pittsburg Gazette,yesterday, THE TEE SPORTS OF THE SEASON.—Baso ball seems to be all the rage. In the grand sliding-scale of athletic sports, it has rapidly ascended. This may be attributed to several causes. The fire companies, under the present power of horses and steam, have less attrac tions for the rising generation than they had a few years since. Soused have we become to the appearance of military columns passing through our streets during the past four years, that the sound of the bugle or the drum have almost ceased to awaken extra attention. Va rions excitements incident to tile past three or four years have died into a calm forgetful ness, and the boys, of course, are driven to their wits to introduce some new sport or pastime for their own especial gratification. The great American game known as base-ball, established in this country half a century since, is new to youth of the present time, and therefore they have availed themselves of it; have formed clubs to an almost indefinite number, and some of the older organizations of the juniors aspire to what is known as the championship, like" any other man." Accordingly, an arrangement has been per feeted between the junior clubs " Eureka " and "Union," of Camden,..New Jersey, to playa game on the ground of the Camden's, senior, to-morrow afternoon, commencing at half-past two o'clock. These clubs are reputed to be composed of nimble members, and, having already attained high rank in the profession, quite an exciting timemay be expected. The " Juniors " are swelling into large pro portions. They have arisen to the dignity of holding a general convention, like "any other man.” This convention will assemble to-Mar• row evening, and it is expected that four hun dred delegates will be present. The proceedings of these conventionalists will be looked forward to with as much inte rest by the base-ball clubs _generally, as the doings of the Continental Congress were by the colonists of nearly a century since. It will require a vast amount of endurance and muscle to keep the ball moving as it has been for some time past. If the juniors play base ball in leisure hours, and improve themselves in the elementary principles of learning that which will be of benefit to them hereafter, in stead of lounging about street corners or rum shops, like a class of idle boys, who are not at tracted even by the allurements of the Arneri can game the next generation of men will be athletic,healthy, and valuable ..members of society. It is reported, that a few days since, at a cricket match, a spectator who prizes that game said, "there's no wood in liamerica lit to Make a cricket club. the litany place to get the right kind of wood is In Hingland.” knowledge of such matters may be attributed exclusively to his ignorance. At the store of Wilson & Co. on Chestnut, above Fourth, as will be seen by the advertisements in another nart of The Press, bats made of all kinds of the besi ~.;s6tl for such purposes, may in found. Maple, willow, beach, birch, ash, white and red, are brought into requisition. Mr. Louis George, a veteran caterer of base-ball clubs, and an old member of the Athletic, will ex hibit at this place a general assortment of everythimr ' connected with the American game, It was also said, at a recent cricket match, that a ball suitable for a gains of this kind could not be found in Philadelphia We are quite sure that Mr. George can exhibit an American manufactured ball equal to any thing imported. One thing is very certain, if the game of cricket could become more gene.; ral in America, it would not be long before improved bats would be' introduced, instead of the introduction of whalebone in the handle to give the bat a spring, another arrangement would be made, that would make a better and more serviceable bat. TILE REBELS IN OUR MIDST. —Although the armies of the Union have crushed all or ganized rebellious resistance against the Na tional Government, it is easy to see that the Spirit Width prompted that resistance stilt exists. It is shown in a hundred ways, even in our Midst. In those sections of the country where martial law is still supreme it only shows - itself in a limited form, for the stern and remorseless military power is quick and prompt to punish any act tending to dis loyalty and treason. But here the case is dif-' ferent. Throughout the North there are hun dreds of men who have held command in the forees organized for the purpose of breaking up the National Government, and have been instrumental in causing the death of so many of our fellow-citizens, who take every oppor tunity of showing their hatred towards the nation. One of their favorite modes of doing this, and a'so the purpose of recog nizing their companions in the work of treason, is - to wear Clothing made of the color and etf er armythe pattern .i) i,a r i o d it e tor l i r uniform ‘etLr aß o l f t]. e e laterebel n bearing insignia huliwiting hostility to the United States, they 1111 Ye, their clothtn mane without buttons, but made to fas g- ten frogs and loops of cord. A few days 11 ,, 0 a brace of these worthies entered the establishment of one of our prominent clothiers, and after some little eenversatiOn, desired that gentle man to make them a Suit of gray. The knight Of the shears surveyed the others from head to toe, and indignantly and patriotically re plied that they might go elsewhere for their rebel clothes • that he would not contaminate his establishment with 'such an article. The would-be customers left the store in high dudgeon, and no doubt, sought a more conge niallocality. The Government would be doing a good work if it would permanently expatriate every person who has held command in the forces relied for its destruction; whatever he his grade. While within its borders they will form a nucleus round which the disaffected of every class will gather, perhaps with the design of forming a new revolution. Once exiled, never to return, their places would be filled by more honest and better men, reared in the school of loyalty and freedOrn, ELECTION OF CHIEF ENGINEER OF TEE FIRE Derkartmer.-7The firemen of the city met at the houses of their respective com panies last evening, and voted for a chief en gineer of the Fire DepartMent. There Were two candidates, David M. Lyle,-of the Fair mount Engine. the present incumbent, and Joseph Young, of the West Philadelphia En gine. The election was conducted in the most orderly manner. Some of the houses were brilliantly illuminated. After 'the result of the voting was announced many of the COM panies ran out their apparatus, rang the bells, and cheered at the result. The re-election of Mr. Lyle seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and the excitement was not so great as it otherwise might have been. The following is the result as far as ascertained up to a rate hour last night. The result could not be changed should all the companies not heard from vote for Young : For David M.

JUVENILE INNOCENCE AND JUVENILE DEr EAVITV.—The following , incident of juve nile simplieity and depravity occurred a few days ago. A little girl, of Ave years, teas sit ting at the door of her father's house, in Tenth street, making a horse-hair finger-ring for-her father. The front door was open, and on it hung a fancy hat, belonging to the baby, and another belonging to her little sister. A little girl, about seven years old, stopped on the sidewalk, in front of the little ringmaker, and asked what she was making. • "I'm making a ring for my papa." "Oh, how pretty," said the little stranger; "but I've got some red and blue horse hair at home that will make a prettier ring. I will "ye you some, if you want it " • I would like very much to have-some red and blue hair; it would make a very pretty r Y ing." on shall have it," replied theirl, and, looking in at the hat-rack, she asked if that was the baby's hat, and added, "My mother is well acquainted with yours, and she wants to get a hat like that for our baby, and she sent me to borrow your baby's hat, so that she could pick out one like it : won't you let me take it along 1" "Certainly," said Ada, the ringmaker, "if your mother wants to get a hat like that, and if your mother knows me, there can be no harm in your taking it, if you will be sure to bring , it back." " Oh, Jul bring it back in ten minutes, and youmight as well let me take the other hat, too because my mother may want to get one of that kind ;1 live Just round the corner, and I will bring them both back, safe and sound, in ten minutes." Ada, unconscious of evil, went to the rack and took the two hats off, and handed them to the stranger. The girl then said, "Now, as you have been so kind, won't you loan me your hat to keep off the sun! 1311 bring'it back straight with the others." Ada took off her hat and handed it to the little girl, and saw her walk rapidly along the street, and turn into the first alley. Then she knew that she had been victimised, for the girl did not go round the corner, where she said she lived. The little girl was a thief, and the hats were not returned. Ada cried; but learned a lesson which may be worth many dozen hats to her. DELAY IN TRANSPORTATION. —A =re spondent says that on Saturday he sent an order to New York for a large amount of chemicals for a manufactory in Dleadville, Pa., because the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company do not deliver goods under ten days between Philadelphia and Corry. Goods of almost every description for Northwestern Pennsylvania seem to be purchased in New York, simply because the facility for trans portation is superior to that of Philadelphia. This subject is a matter of very considerable importance to the business people and the in terests of Philadelphia, and if our railroads cannot keep pace with the enterprising com panies of a bordering State, still they might secure a large amount of business for the northwestern part of the State if they were to reduce the price of freight one-half when over four days in delivery. The subject is one of vital interest to the business community of Philadelphia. Pnomoriox.—Col. John Ely, of the 21st Regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, has been appointed by the President brevet brigadier general of C. S. Vole. Colonel Ely entered the army with the lamented Major General Eir ney, as major of the 23d Penna. Vols. (Rimers Zouftvesd and joined the Army of the Potomac in August, NM, serving with it in the ACM Un til December, 18S3. In the assault on Mayre's Heights, May 3, 1853, his regiment, the 23d P. V., under his command as colonel, volunteered to storm the heights. The storming party consisted of eight regiments, six of which were repulsed with heavy lose, but the 23d, although suffering severely, took and held the position. For this gallant act Col. Ely was re commended by the late Major General John Sedgwick for promotion to brigadier general. In 1863, still suffering from a wound received at Fair Oaks, in _DM he resigned his commis sion as colonel, andwas commissi oned as cola net in the Veteran Reserve Corps. GRANDLY DECORATED.—Lasf evening, the house of the Fairmount Engine, of which Chief Engineer David M. Lyle is a member, was gaily decorated with star-spangled ban. ners. Two flags were displayed from each window of the spacious edifice, and live large battle-flags were spread across the street. As the Fairmount boys want their choice for Chief to be at the top of the heap, they had their flag-stalr, which reaches far up to the cupola, decorated with a trio of flags, reach. ing from the truck to the roof, and gracefully extending around the cupola. The ladies of the neighborhood were in high glee at the sigyt, and young America enjoyed it hugely. chief Lyle can well appreciate this compli ment to lalm. When the result of the election was announced—that Chief Lyle was the lucky candidate—the house was brilliantly illumi nated. ARRIVAL OF TROOPS.—The 2d Massa chusetts Heavy Artillery, numbering .I.:oat men, arrived from Washington on Sunday night, and were entertained at the Refresh ment Saloons, The same regiment was re ceived three years ago, on their way to the seat •of war. Information has been received that about thirty regiments and'hatteries will pass through this city on their way home in a short time. They will all be welcomed and provided for in a manner worthy our great city and of our Refreshment Saloons. MARSHAL'S AIDS, FIREMEN'S PARADE.— H. B.

THE POLICE. [Before Mr. Alderman lintellinBoll.] COWANDLY ASSAULT ON A WOMAN. Yesterday morning Orlando Sayers recently discharged from the Eastern Penitentiary, where he had been serving out a term of fire years' imprisonment for burglary, was DM milted to prison in default of bail, to answer the charge of outrageous assault and battery with intent to kill. The evidence shows that on Sunday evening Sayers and three compan ions were coming down Vineyard street, near rerkioMen street. Here they saw a Mr. Mor gan, who was Bitting in the . doorway of his house. It is alleged that one of them struck him, and then seized his wife, who was stand ing behind him, dragged her to the pavement, where the four men beat her, knocked her down, kicked her terribly about the head, breast, and abdomen,. and stamped on her, causing her to sustain serious In3uries—go much so that the hearing had to be delayed some time until she was able to appear and testify. coNFIDENca MAN AND A SHAM? DOLMEN. An honest country-bred private in one of our State reiriments recently arrived front the South. While admiring the photographic spe cimens of art as displayed. in a window up town, he was accosted by a well-dressed indi vidual, who proceeded to indulge in critical remarks upon the pictures. Presently , he pro duced what Appeared to be a magnificent gold case hunting watch, and offered it for Sale. At first the offer was met with an emphatic "no," from the soldier. He " reckoned" that to "sport" a watch of that "ar" kind would be too expensive. "No, you arc mistaken," replied the oily tongued stranger, "I can let you have it for the small sum of fifty dollars. Besides this, if you wan't to 'spout' it, you can get twice that amount for it." . . " Well, now, do tell—is that so," replied the apparently wonder-struck countryman.
