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.

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

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

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."
