Further Particulars of its Ravages at Smyrna and Elsewhere. We give below the following additional par. tieulars of the ravages of that terrible de_ stroyer, the cholera: . [From Saturday's Washington Chronicle.] .The State Department is in receipt - of ad viees front the United States Counsel at Smyr na, under date of August 19, 1865. The report contains the information that the Asiatic cholera broke out in the quarantine of that city, amongst passengers who had arrived from Alexandria. Several isolated cases oc curred in the city, a few days later, but it was not until about five weeks ago that the pro gress of the disease became alarming. Since that period its ravages have unfortunately be come considerable, and the mortality has been steadily on the increase. On the first appearance of this fearful epi., deltaic, which, in a few days, had caused the greatest ravages in Alexandria, Cairo and other parts of Egypt, the wealthy audmiddling classes, both native and foreign, fled to the _neighboring islands and surrounding villages. These latter, situated at a height of several hundred feet above the town, have hitherto afforded a safe refuge from the attacks of this disease. The panic has assumed such propor tions that business is almost completely sus pended. The shops are closed, and the streets deserted. The number of inhabitants who have left,comprising all the merchants and the greater part of the traders, is estimated at about fifty thousand. The greatest distress prevails among the laboring classes, and the active sympathy of the rich has been called into immediate requi. sition to keep them from starvation. Mea sures have been adopted looking toward the relief of the distressed. The Consul gives a very flattering account of the action of the American citizens in Smyrna, who have been contributing their money in behalf of the poor, and working zealously for the suppres sion of the disease. In closing the despatch the Consul says: "It is expected and hoped that the stringent sanitary measures which are being adopted will in a short time succeed in banishing this dread scourge from our city." - The United States Consul at Barcelona, un der date of September 2,1865, informs the State Department that from August 24th to the llst, the number of deaths by the cholera in that city have averaged about twenty-four per -.SOUS per day. On the day previous to which the dispatch is dated, the number was forty two in his division, The Consul at Port Mahon informs the State Department, in a despatch dated August Si, 1865, that the quarantine was being rigidly en forced at that port. A steamer which left with the Arabs, reports that one hundred and twen -ty died within fifteen days. Tile authorities give information with great reluctance. The cholera has Appeared in Majora in this pro vince. The Sanidad prefer to attribute the deaths among the Arabs to their miserable condition rather than to the cholera. That the scourge is stilt advancing westward there IS no doubt. WASHINGTON. 01 7 'EUCIALI, IrTVOMMALTION. ABATEMENT OF THE CHOLERA AN INCIDENT AT THE WHITE HOUSE. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. Special Despatches to The Press.? WASHINGTON, Sept. 1835 An Incident at the White House. On Thursday last, an unusual and quite ro! mantic incident occurred at the White Rouse among the squad of pardon-seekers there. The suppliants were waiting around as your cor respondent D. D, described a few days ago, and among others were two persons; a closely veiled young lady and a gentleman somewhat, bronzed (a rebel soldier once, finite likely), with a heavy beard and a careful dress. They had not paid any attention to each other du ring the 'hour or two they had been so near, and would not have done so for all _Coming time bad it not been for the usher. He came with a document and in a sharp tone called out the name superscribed on its envelope. It was a prominent one once in Georgia and was familiar to most Of the ears upon which its tones fell. The gentleman, with an air of pleasure, stepped forward to take it, - when the lady, with a little scream, pressed forward and clasped hint tightly in her arms. He at first seemed surprised by such an un. wonted proceeding, but when she several times excitedly • asked "Don't you know Jessie ?" "Don't you know Jessie 1" "You Can't have forgotten me in such a short time," and removed her veil to show a fresh, piquant, pretty face. Recognition was instant,and with the one word "sister," he was quite as de monstrative as she had been before. " Why, Jessie, what are you doing here?" he asked; "I am here for father be is very, very sick," she said, with a little elision of the "r," and a sob. "But he wants to die, if he has to die, a citizen Of the Union again." The young man seemed 'affected, but in the new found joy of meeting a sister long lost, the cloud that time did not darken his heart. A few moments after she also received the grant of her application. It seems that the young man went out early in the war as major of a Confederate regi ment. He was taken prisoner in a skirmish just after Bull Run ' and spent two years in a Northern prison. Returning to service, the cause of the "Confederacy" needed all the men for support it could obtain and he was forced to stay in the ranks. Letters lie had sent home failed to reach, and he, fiesparing of finding his family after the march of SIVERMAN over the State, came North to see after a friend. This good work done he returned to Washing ton to look after his pardon. All this time his family gave him up as dead, and, saving his sister, who met him so strangely, think so yet. The Condition of Wirz. There are many who are beginning to be- lieve that IVirtz will break down completely and die before the end of the trial, or before he can be Justly, punished. He is a man of nervous and delicate frame, and one wonders as be looks upon the criminal, how it is that so much Cruelty could be done up in so fliinsy a package. His eyes are sunken, his hair grows wirier and grayer every day, and he seems to be without any friends but his lair yers, who are such professionally—nothing more, and his spiritual advisers. His wife, who seems to be a cold, hard woman, visits him, but her visits are even more formal than` those of his counsel. She does not seem to be in the . least affected by the terrible rate im pending over her husband; indeed, it is not harsh to say that she does not care whether he is hung or not. Wins feels that he is aban doned, and abandoned, too, when he wants friendship the most—when it is food and drink indeed to him. Haggard, pale, and despair ing, ho experiences something-of the horrors he once so coolly inflicted on others. Destitution and Troubles in Virginia. As might be expected, there is much desti tution and poverty in Virginia, especially in those parts which Were overrun and desolated by the contending armies. But poor as some of the people are, they are going to law by squads and battalions. On Belle Plains espe cially, Where all the fences and other land. marks were destroyed, there is enough work, it is said, for - fifty lawyers. About eighteen are now monopolizing the business. The eases seem hard to settle, except by arbitra tion, for deeds and records of all kinds:have been destroyed in various ways beyond dupli cation or recovery. One old lady has become insane over the matter. Her land, though small in area, was her all. Living for years upon 4t she knew its boundaries, as if by in stinct, but her neighbors on four sides doubt her and between all their encroachments her territory was reduced to half its tomer limits. In her litigation to recover she has sacrificed her reason and shortened her days. Darwin'. • JAMES. W.

Presentation of the BraziliaulKidister. Mr. JoAwn. MANIA NWENTES was yesterday introduced by the Secre tary of State to the President, and delivered his credentials as envoy extraordinary and minister of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil. The following is a translation of his address on the occasion: Mr. President, I have the honor to place in your hands two letters from his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, communicating to you by one of them the close of the mission of Senor Councillor Meguel Maria Lisboa, and by the other my appointment in the character of his envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo tentiary near your person. The expressions of my letter of credence manifest the high esteem in which my august sovereign holds your person and the high interests which con nect the empire with this great nation. Brazil has neveij had's thought, Mr.• President, but of ever maintaining unalterable and of ever drawing more closely the relations of friend ship and good understanding between the two countries. *This is my charge, and with this purpose I shall not spare any efforts to respond to the confidence, reposed in me. I shall deem my self very fortunate, Mr. President, if in the dis charge of so honorable and important o mis sion I shall be able to merit also your confi dence. This task will be so much the less difficult for me, as I hope by my personal feel ings towards the United States by my actions to win the Sympathy ofyour Government as elsewhere, It is especially recommended to me to do. ' On this solemn occasion, offering to you the most ardent wishes in the name of my sove reign, for the prosperity of the North Ameri can Union, under your AdMinietration, let it be allowed me to express to you directly, on the part of my sovereign;his,deep sorrow at the unhappy event of the 14th of April, which placed the whole nation in mourning at a time when the distinguished success due to the pa triotism and extraordinary ..perseverance of your illustrious predecessor should have caused it only to rejoice. President Johnson replied as follows Ma. ASOUItneSA :—The Imperial letter of credence which you bring bears appreciative tdAtimony that you have mantained so high a character and exercised so wide an influence at home, that I feel entirely at liberty to as sure you of an agreeable reception, not only in the diplomatic circle here, but among the People of the 'United States. I reciprocate toward Brazil the good feelings you have ex pressed in regard to our country in the name of your sovereign. Brazil is already a great State, and she has elements which enable her to become a leader among the nations. I re gret that in times past no •eloser relations were allowed to exist between Brazil and the -United States. Holding quite similar posi tions on the two parts of the American conti nent, they ought to be, not merely good neigh bors, but intimately tassoclated togetheri in political as well as in commercial intercourse. It is my strong [desire to contribute to that association. Our policy is one which is sim ple and easily to be understood—the wish to promote the progress of civilization in this hemisphere, and for that purpose the develop ment of the material resources, the improve ment of commerce and the introduction as fast as possible of free intelligent labor into the virgin fields of this continent. Instead of weakening the new American States in our vicinity we wish to impart strength to them by reposing in them a generous cond.:lamp, rather than by indulging jealousies of their property or a querulous disposition in regard to the manner in which their governments arc administered. Above all, we wish to in spire them with the conviction that all the nations of America, if they would continue to exist, must aspire to absolute self-sustaining independence, and to a 'perfect political equa lity with the other nations of the earth. If Brazil shall'agree with us in this policy we shall hereafter be, not only close friends, but practically we shall be come firm and fast allies. The 'Edmunds Court•martial. The statements lately made in the Eastern papers relative to the ease of COl. J. COBO/no Enmunns, 32d Massachusetts Volunteers, are incorrect. That officer was summarily dis missed without trial, by the War Department, Some months since, but on his application was allowed a trial by a court-martial,w_bleh is not yet concluded. • The Cholera. The United States Consul General at Con stantinople, August 92d, reports to the State Department the abatement in the cholera since the last despatch. The number of deaths oil the 21st was 143, while heretofore it has ex ceeded 2,000 in a single day. Miscellaneous.

Prrrsanno, Sept. 2.l.—The mystery of the Iloyd's Bill murder was partially cleared up to-day by the voluntary confession of Benja min Bembardt Marshall, a German, who states that in August last, he and another German, named August Frecke, met in Kew York a Ger man emigrant, whose name they did not learn, a moulder by trade; that the three came to Pittsburg on an emigrant train, and while on the road out Marshall and Freeke, believing the stranger to be possessed of a large amount of money, conceived the idea of murdering him, which was accomplished on their arrival here, by inducing the stranger to visit Borra Hill, where Marshall lived. The conflict was short and decisive, Freeke stabbing him three times, while simultaneously Marshall struck him several times on the head with an iron bar. Freeliis has also made a voluntary statement in which he tries to throw discredit on a part of Marshall's statement for the purpose of es- Milpating himself. The confession has created intense excite ment throughout this city, and crowds of citi zens obstructed the streets on the passage of. the prisoners to the jail. Another Railroad Accident. Tam Sept, 23.—A railroad accident occurred on the Rensellaer Ind Saratoga Company's long bridge this morning. A train, consisting of the engine and two passenger cars, wasbaelc jug towards the city for the purpose of start ing out again. The swing -draw was open.

WASHINGTON, Sept.. 9.3.—Captain Wirz, imme diately Alter being brought into court, laid clown upon the note, shit' keing tee weak to sit up. Sergeant Gray, whose testimony toward the close of the proceedings yesterday caused the prisoner so much distress, was cross-examined today. In reply to a question by Mr. Schade, he said he believed in punishment after death. When he arrived at Andersonville as a pri soner, his poeket-boOk and cavalry coat were taken'from him; his boots had been removed from his feet at the time of his capture. The witness gave an affeCting account of the saf ferings of the prisoners. Captain J. Id. Wright, of the 55th Georgia, was recalled, and testified that, in the absence of the commander of the post, Captain Wirz had the command, and eountersignedfurlough papers; the witness superintended the ex tension of the prison grounds, eleven acres having been added; Captain Wirz made a re quisition upon him for axes, which lie had no difficulty in supplying; fuel could have been supplied if the prisoners had been allowed to go out after it under guard. Cross-examined by Mr. Schade.—Furloughs were approved by Captain Wirz • when the latter acted in place of General 'Winder he could give furloughs -for thirty days, and - when acting for Colonel Parsons furloughs for seven days; they never had sufficient trans portation at, Andersonville. Lewis Dyer, of the 12th United States Col ored Troops, testified—That Captain Wirz pro posed to the colored prisoners that if they took the oath to the South they could choose their own masters, and Some of the guards said that Captain Wirz declared he would make the white prisoners join the Confed erates by starving them ; the witness was for some time, a servant at the house of Dr. White, ordered thither by - Captain Wirz, and for which he received. no pay ; Captain Wirz brought to Dr. White's three thousand lettera, addressed to Union prisoners ; he handed them to Captain - Reed's Wife, who was staying there; she took everything out of the letters, such as money, needles, thread, pictures, ac. ; Mrs. Reed laughed at the contents of the - letters, making fun of them, and then ordered him to burn them ; he had seen Confederates wcaringipthe clothing which had been sent to the prisoners; he heard the surgeons at Dr. White's say: "I have poisoned live.

Judge Advocate Chipman read an agreement entered into between the Judge Advocates and the counsel for the prisoner by which the hospital records and death register, and such other records as shall be discovered, may be received as evidence, except in cases where objection may be legally interposed. judge Advocate Chipman said the Govern ment would informally close the case today, reserving, however, the right to examine wit nesses who may be found touching new mat ter, and he would offer some records in evi dence connecting the Richmond authorities with the Andersonville 'prison. Mr. Baker said lie could not "go it blind," by consenting to such an arrangement. Col. Cluan replied that the evidence re ferred to Davis, Lee anti others of they rebel go vernment, and the counsel had no right to oh j ect to testimony which did not personally af fect their client.. Mr. Baker said tke prisoner was charged with Conspiring with parties named at wall an with parties not named. - lie did not know who the latter were. If the Judge .Advocate in troduced matter which had nothing to do with Capt. Wirz, then of course he had no ob ection. Col. Chipman said there was a public and na tional necessity to show up the infamy of these men. The court inquired whether he had the testi mony at hand, and whether witnesses had been sent for. Colonel Chipman replied that many of them had prevaricated or concealed facts, which, made it necessary for the Government to take' extraordinary measures toget at the truth. The evidence was less material to the defend ant cthan to the trial, and was of a general abaracter. He could nottell when he could procure the testimony. If this required de fence, the Government would not resist an application for a continuance. Baker asked the commission to adjourn for at least one week from next Tuesday, for the following reasons First. That not coming into the case at the day of-its opening I have had -no time to do more than keep along daily with the examina tion of witnesses put upon the stand by the Prosecution. I have had no- time to inform myself of what witnesses the defence have had, nor what they will testify to generally, nor upon what points any certain wisnesses will testify upon. Upon all these matters I must inform myself by calling our witnesses together and learning from them what they know and upon what factsin the case they can tet:tift. To do this requires time, which I must ask 0 the court. Second. There are•many polite in the pro. seeution filet closed, as there always arc in every case, and more especially , in cases of the magnitude of this, which admit and require at our hands complete refutation and con tradiction. This I know can be done, but it necessitates the labors of overlooking the testimony and documents of the prosecution, which number several thousand pages, and re quires much research and time. And the third reason, and which I regret to offer, is that the labors devolving noon me in the ease have proved quite too heavy, and my own health requires that I should have a few days' rest. I regret very much to ask any favors of this court for reasons personal to myself, but when I state to the court that I am unable to go further with the case without rest, I trust the court will do me the honor to believe that the statement comes not from a wish, but from my impaired condition. A fourth reason, and the all important one in our defence, is this, and to give it more weight with the court being more clearly seen, I must state it in comparison with the means and powers of the Government : The Government has shown a commendable dis position to do in the general what could be made strongly to appear to be necessary for the defendant; but it should bear in mind that it had employed many months before the trial commenced in preparing this_prosecution. The learned gentlemen conducting the pro secution have had the advantage of all the fa cilities coming from that most efficient de partment, known as -the Bateau of Military 'Justice, and I may add, with honor rather than disrespect, the advantage of the advice and judgment of that truly able and worthy public servant, Judge Holt, in devising the path for them to pursue; They have had mo ney untold at their command. They have had agents, servants, clerks and reporters for every convenience and every want. They have bad the whole or any portion of the detective and military force of the country to search up and bring before them any and every person who could in any way or by the slightest word give them any,light upon their side of the case. In a weird, then they have had all that a great, earnest, and all-powerful Government could withprudenee bestow in accumulating the - whole debris of the fallen Southern Confederacy . upon , the head of Captain Wirz. But of this I. do not complain for I recite it only in comparison. flow is it now with the defence? Captain Wirn lies before you with a mind so Shattered that he is unable even to give his counsel reliable information upon the most vital points of his defence. Ile has not even the means to procure the necessities of a sick man, much less to defray the expenses inci dental to a trial like this. Ile has books and documents, but they, have until to-day been kept from his counsel by the Govern , ment. lie has witnesses, like the Government, in all positions, and in almost every State and village in the country. Some of them have come at his request but many more are kept away, even after being subpoinaetl, because of their want of means to come. Others again write and say, "We have seen the charges, and we can lay, from our long stay at Ander sonvine, that such and such ones are not true, but we have no means to come unless you send it to us." The places of residence of others who area most important are known, but they can only be caught by sending -messengers to find out and accompany them. But this is not all. Sonia who have already arrived here, from the necessities of their faint lies and the difficulty of meeting their expenses, have left and gone away, while others have been retained only by advances of money made by counsel themselves. Other witnesses again write from a distanee, under fictitious names, asking if they will be pro tected if they come to testify. Others who are most important will not come unless, at great expense ' we send some one to bring them here. Here is sickness and misery struggling against opulence and power. Here is abject poverty grappling with untold millions ; here is a poor, destitute, distracted, and shut.up prisoner, with powerless and inefficient coun sel, endeavoring to compete with all the ability and power and means that the most powerful Government can bestow to crush him. Truly, gentlemen, I may say that we, as his counsel, in all our good intentions are but presumptu ous. We, in our weakness, do but insult the majesty of our Government when we attempt so much. For these reasons, then, I ask the court to give us at least a week from next Tuesday before we enter into the defence, and if, during the meantime, for the want of means we cannot get together the distantly-separated elements of our defence, I, for one, I fear, shall feel it my duty to relinquish it entirely. Lest any misconstruction be put upon my lan guage—and it be said I want confidence in our case—l must reiterate that I believe Captain Wirz has a good and complete defence.. Colonel Chipman said the last remark of the sentleman was an insult to the hundred United tates soldiers who had testified in this case. It was in effect, a charge that they had testi fied falsely. Mr. Baker replied that there could be no such - inference drawn from his remarks. He would say the prosecution could not make the horrOrS of Andersonville too bad by the lan guageor proof of any of the witnesses. We may admit everything charged to have been done, but we may also deny that Capt. Wirz did it. . • „. Colonel Chipman. If you had witnessed the closing scene here yesterday, you would not have made the speech you dia. Att.

It would be an honor if the eouus,el could show that the witnesses were raistak - Wl 'in any of their senses. He believed the court -would rejoice in believing that the atrocities were not committed by this intiOdent Man. Major General Thomas said that Mr. Baker had drawn a comparison between the power of the Government and the helplessness of the prisoner. He- believed that everything had been. done by the Government to assist the de fence. Mr. Baker. We admit it. General Thonias. You cannot expect the Go- velmment to pay your expenses. • Colonel Chipman. The C,overnment - pays M. tieens as witnesses three dollars a day and their mileage. Idr. Baker.

If I should say something which may look-dis respectful the amenities of the cOurtshould'he extended to me, in order that a harmless meaning maybe attached to all I say. The court, after deliberating with closed doors, announced their decision on the appli cation of the counsel, namely—overruling the motion_ for an adjourniment for a week, but agreeing to adjourn until next Tuesday morn ing, in consideration of, the delicate health of Mr. Baker. . The court diem agjOurned till Tuesday morning. . GEORGIA. Restoration of Mall Faellitles—Gov. Brown and his Opinions—The Rebel rinaiegam—ANairs Floada.

Sloop nun Down--A Lady and Two Children Drowned. About four o'clock on Saturday morning the steamer Oceanus, Captain NV. S. Young, plying between New York and Providence, R. 1., while near Mattacooh Point, some thirty miles from the former city, on her way there, came in collision with the sloop Jacob Duryea, of New York, striking her amidships, and cut ting her in two. The captain of the steamer saw no light on the Duryea until the steamer was within two or three hundred feet of her, when a light appeared On her starboard-rig. ging. The engines of the Oceanus were re, versed, but were unable to check her speed. The Oceanus soon backed out,-and sent out her boats when the sloop began to OD, but she careened over, and went down. It was thought at one time that all the passengers on board the Duryea—three ladies, two children and two men—were drowned. The captain of the steamer threw a line aboard the Duryea, by means of which two of the passengers were saved. The small boats also rescued others of the passengers. - One lady, Sarah Davis, aged twenty.two years, was drowned in the cabin. Her remains were discovered, as also those of the children. An inquest was held, and a Ver. • diet in accordance with the facts rendered. News from China. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.--Arrived, ship Or pheus, from New York.

Alas! CEOB9•EBYS 21.6ETING This meeting was an immense affair.. A CM respondent " The peopl4 (men and women) came - out om foot, on horseback, in wagon with music and banners and enthusiasm. Hon. Win. DI _Kel ley was the first speaker,alring for an hour .v the ()yenta of the last four or five years, declared that the War was not yet over, that guarantees were necessary from the seceded States to insure future good behavior. He - said that all men were vitally interested in. the settlement of the issues now before the country; that Pennsylvania especially be o f w ete e en d l(the i n t lt t e o r h td e o rself to recognize ancllionor men in ta teg ke l l ty d h in old thede r at aceto ein wh i le h li t, she was enlitled among the btabes• of the Union. Mr. Kelley spoke with the ability and. fervor of a statesman, and the large audience followed him with interest and applauded. most enthusiastically. "Mr. Thos. Fitzgerald, of Philadelphia, fol lowed Judge Kelley in a brief but earnest ap peal to the voters of Montgomery, He spoke particularly of the merits of Hartranft and Campbell, and begged his audience to remem ber that the contest was a most important one. He said that the men who, in the dark days of TOM," had held the State to. principle and "Union, should tally' once more to declare their love for Demo cratic principles as shown in the great char ter of human freedom—the Declaration of Independence. The eighty thousand - war De• mocrats in the State of - Pennsylvania, who had repudiated party for principles, were consist— ent in their devotion to the Government and the Union. Mr. Fitzgerald was loudly cheered and must have been flattered Wills reception. " Major Gen. Hartranft was at the meeting. and shared its enthusiasm. The next great gathering will be held at the Trappe, under the auspices of Horace Royer, Esq., the gifted Senator of the district. Depend upon it, old Montgommy will give a good account of her self on the second Tuesdayof October," G. 0. H. For the past two or three weeks the Demo cracy of Norristown have been making im mense preparationa for a striking meeting of ratification. Four-and-twentycommittee men have each night gone from hostelrie to hos- Wide (we will not use the vulgar term), and from Democratic house to Demo ciatic house,. gathering in the battered hats, the wherewithal to pay the ex penses. Enough seems to, have been ga thered to engage a band and the Odd-} lowa' Mall, where the demonstration took place. But, after all the preparations, after all the inducements held out in the as. surance that "our candidate" and." standard bearer" would be there. the little hall,which will bold about five hundred people, was no more than comfortably filled. There were strag„gleril On the stairs but they were only little boys taking their first lessons in smoking or chewing tobacco. The audience, however, such as it was, seemed respectable— uniforms were interspersed through it—and nOw and then, when their prejudices were tick led, very . vigorousiy applauded. Colonel Da. vis came in for the best share of it, but even in his case the applause was short lived. In se veral instances it was given because the audi ence thought it ought to come in there, that the meeting would be incomplete without U, acting, on the whole, very much like little boys who, when they write their first compositions, scatters commas and periods at random through their production, because they ought to he there—the COMpositions would not be complete without them. Mier the orga nization, Colonel Davis was the first speaker. Re was received with applause, as he is a gen tleman of presence, and proceeded to state the principles upon which he and his party ex- Pected to succeed in the coming campaign He bad been invited to address the assem blage by the Montgomery Democratic Com mittee. and in addressing it he felt bound to say that the issues to be presented in October were the most important ever before present ed in any contest. The issues were those of civil policy. Should the Government made by our fathers, and handed down by them to us, he administered according tothe Constitution and laws, or rather should it be made respon sible for cting in direct violation of both the Constitution and the lawsl It was said that history often repeated itself. It was an axiom also in politics. They all remembered the plan which was formed when the Federal Conven tion made the Union—it was whole in its every feature; it-provided for trial by jury, ete., and gave a status to the States. A National Government was made by the union of seve ral minor sovereignties; the States them selves being under a constitution, and re taining Certain powers within themselves in their own political right. After the ex• pertinent was put in motion, amendments were found necessary, guaranteeing se curity to person and property, denytng any searches without warrant, &c. Colonel Davis referred to the testing of some of these rights during the Administration of the elder Adams, and remarked that the issues of to-day gave rise to questions of almost identical signifi cance; and to show this to be so he would era mine the leaders of the Republican party and prove that the spirit of their doctrine is op posed to the Spirit of the Constitution. lie did examine some of them—among them Henry Ward Beecher and Thaddeus Stevens—to show that they desired that the South should be held as a conquered province, and its people shorn of all political power. - This was the great oint just ion. But such men a—jbi thesequestion ioo o y .f h i o a r t ohrea had t quoted desire that the States should be kept in subjugation. Why should this be? What harm could they do if they were already con enunciated at at The Har e r Dmisburg ocratic was directly doctrine, as nunc, op posed to this—it was that of President Johnson—it had never yet been endorsed by those who desired the South to remain a conquered province, lint there was one point for which Colonel Davis would contend, and that was that this was a white man's go vernment. This formed the staple of his whole speech, and was the most applauded. " This Government is a white man's government," exclaimed Colonel Davis enthusiastically ; " it was founded for white men, and in no sense can it recognize the negro as anything else than an inferior, to be governed )y whites, but— but—treatedkindly. He should not be allowed to vote, and every white man who is a white man should advocate such a sound doctrine." Negroes mere good for nothing. They could not govern themselves. St. Domingo was an instance. There they were all the time cut ting each others throats. Mexico was another, where, out of eight millions only three had. any white blood in their veins. They never were fit to have anything to say for themselves,much less for others. Apply these facts to Pennsyl vania. It had seventy-five thousand negroes, and twelve thousand of them perhaps were old enough to vote. Give them the ballot, and their votes might decide the conflict over white men's votes. They might send members to Congress, elect a black Governor, or even a black President. "Do the Abolitionists teach this doctrinel" asked Mr. Davis. " Pm think in, they do," 3 , elled a little red-headed En glishman, at the end of the room. " Yes, sir-e-e," piped a soldier on the front benches, emphasizing his assertion with a forcible slap of the knee. "That's` so," said -a frowsy little boy, astride a chair-back. "That's so," said all. "I say they do," repeated Colonel Davis. " What, says General Meagherl" con tinued the speaker, addressing by inference every Irishman in the room. No Irishman knew, or did not care to say he did. Col. D. then read -a letter of the General in which he held that the "black heroes" had entitled themselves to liberty, suffrage, &c., by their bravery in vindicating the country. One of the hearers thought Meagher a fool, and said so, to the delight of the whole gathering.. Beecher was quoted in a paragraph similar In tenor to that of Meagher, and then the effects of those suggestions were considered. When the negroes would be enfranchised, 800,010 votes would be given for the Republican ticket, and white men would be overslau,ghed! This watt the object of the ItepubliCanparty, al though their convention in this State, atraid of meeting, had dodged the issue. But Stevens had ahown the animus of his party when in his speech in reference to reconstruc tion, he said : "New lords make new laws." It would be noticed that Stevens said nothing directly about the negro question, but the whole spirit of the party nad leaned that way for months and months, ever since its organization indeed. Only last winter c eng un paned a law enabling_ negroes to ride in the cars of Washington. Here nies had set apart cars for the exclusive use of colored persons. The popular feeling was with them, and. yet our Legislature passed an act compelling the whites to ride with the blacks, compelling your (the audience's) wives, danghters and sisters to consort with blacks whether they_ willed or not. The jest legislature of Massachusetts made it punishable, by fine and. impriontaent if a landlord denied a black man the pri vileges of his hotel. They can, by law, enter any hotel, and stay there as tong as theyplease. It had been tested, and the law was found good. Colonel Davis had no doubt that if the equal-rights party were successful at the coming ' election, its very first measure would be to admit its colored friends to suffrage and. always hold power. lie would now talk directly to the soldiers, for he had a right to talk to them. He had been a soldier himself. (Voices, "Bully for you."] Had the - soldiers any country to-day] When they went to the war in '6l they were restoration nderstand Constitution w for the of the and the Union. [Applause.] Withthatdetermination they remained in arms till rebellion was crushed. That was the understanding the.Go vernnaent had with them all along. At the extra session of Congress, 22d of July, ISat,a resolution was passed to the effect that tie war was not to be carried on in any spirit of anger, or for any purpose of 'conquest or sub- Jection,Nbut only to defend, preserve, and maintain the dignity of the laws and the coun try, The ccovortumpit 1p 4e UAW D94(1 1 an; Tavit.EE CENTS. many a soldier signed it lit hie blood. The sob diers performed theirpart. They served three and four years, fighting for the Union, and when the rebellion was crushed, though Ste. rens and General Ilartranft say that it is not, in the very teeth of that resolution of that bond they violated it in spirit end " This war is. not waged in a spirit of blind anger, or for . any purpose of eonquest or subjugation," says these resolutions. These were the words, and now the rebellion was crushed, but the Repub lican party Wanted the South .shorn of all her political power. Thaddetie Reverie had told them that " the States must be held in subjugation, for with new lords came dew laws,if Zee. 'Thus, the Government had not kept its bond. "After our services had been had," Complained Colonel Davis( "after we had allowed the Republican party to manage the war during the rebellion, they pay no at tention to the bond theygave us, and keep part of the country in subjugation. We did not fight for any such purpose; for any such thing as the Republicans assure us we did. Did you fight to give the negro the bafloti [Cries of " No!" "No Pl] Re crushed the armies—we cared nothing about anything else—but we did not fight go give the negro the ballot P , exclaimed the Colonel emphatically. That's so ;" and yells of approval from all sides, with gyrations by a semi-uniformed man in front of the platform.] "The policy of these men who hold and have held themselves as Su , per-loyal, and the only friends the soldier had, who were not in the war, but afar from danger, Made money at home out of contracts, raised their voices, and once called such sentiments those of a Copperhead and traitor ! But when I went into the war I was not simple-minded enough to believe that I had to give up my po lities because I was ai soldier, I did not and would not do it. [Yells of delight 4 ;Vow, gen tlemen, the negro is tbeidol of the Republican party: [More yells.] One of two things will prove it: , The Colonelhere cited the factthat negroes always got work from the Republi eans in preference to White men. Xeres had been sent - by the train load from ash- Ington to Rhode Island at tile expense of the Government, getting work before soldiers. On the abandoned lands of the South, negroes receive the preference. The plantations are stocked for the negro, seed is found them everything, while white menu and white eel diers stand fdle without help. "Now you white soldiers who served with me in the Army of the POtomae," appealedthe speaker, " take thesefacts home with you and reflect On them, Decide your vote through them next October; troUr answer URA be that Of white men and white soldiers. I re member once attending a little reunion in the house of a prominent gentlemanovhen I was commanding a brigade in the - army of the Potomac, before the ruling party found occasion fe think of negro troops. Prentice, of the* Louisville Journal, General Cameron, and others, were there. heresponse to a toast Mr. Cameron made a speech, in which he advocated the obnoxious doctrine of fuming negroes to put down the rebellion. There were then just twenty maillionsof white men in the North, and it was by inference ar gued we could not whip eight million& on the other Bide. he advocated there went round among the gentlemen "'at, 'at," And to my personal knowledge, am aware that if the reporters of the newspapers had got the speech, the Administration would not have come up to the work quit* so soon. The speaker, in conclusion, denounced negro soldiers, said they emildi never furnish anef neer of their own color; were - useless to all-in tents and purposes, degraded the white sob diers by wearing their uniform, and were not worth a ballot. Ile retired . amid applause.. Speeches were also made by Representati7e Beyer and br. dekozT.Ottlielrorrigtovim Rggir ter; They went over much the same ground l making a great deal out of negro suffrage and , . the reconstruction quomoo, . The meeting then adjourned, and a serenade was given to Col. Davis, at the Verandah . House, where he made another speech of a tenor similar to his flrst.. Explosion in Pittsburg. [From the Pittsburg Gazette of - Friday evening.} This- morning, about half-past ten o'clock, a small boat, called the Nimrod, exploded her boiler at the Point causing the death of the captain, his wife and cialighter, and the engi• neer, and the injury of several othera, On re pairing to the scene of the disaster we ascer tained the following facts : The Nimrod, under command of Capt. James McCormack, had been engaged by Mr. Robt. Daniel to tow a flat load of salt from the Allegheny river round to the point, and the tug was just making the landing when the boiler exploded with terrific force, blowing the upper part of the boat to frag ments, and sinking the hull, so that not a ves tige or her remained above water, except what had been blown ashore. The stern of the fiat was blown out, and the nut settled down to the bottom, but as the bow was ashore it af forded a means of escape to those who reached it. Captain McCormack was-struck directly in the forehead with - a dying fragment, and in stantly killed. Ills body was • thrown into the flat, from which it was carried and laid upon the shore. The wife and daughter of Captain McCormack - were also on board, and were not seen after the explosion. The daughter was about fourteen years of age: The river is being dragged for their bodies, but as yet withoul success. William Pressure, the engineer, was badly scalded and blown ashore. He was con veyed to his residence on Robinsonstreet,near Cerry, Alleghenv where he died at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The Wit* employed at W. Wallace's works on Liberty street, at the me morable explosion there, and escaped unin jured. • Robert Daniel, owner of the salt flat, was cut on the face with a portion.of the flying wreck, and knocked down. lie was completely drenched with water, but escaped to the shore, and had his injuries dressed by Dr. Stone road. He resides about six miles from Free port, Arumtropg 991- 11 4 . • His inj cries are not serious, and he was soon able to go down to the wreck. The pilot, Hiram Baker, was in the pilot house at the time of the explosion, and Vas blown into the river. He was got out of the water, and conveyed to the Offiee of Dr. Rogers, where his injuries were dressed. Ile was badly scalded about the face, and his nose and mouth were badly lacerated. He was con siderably injured otherwise, but sustained no internal injuries , , and his life is not in danger. He was conveyed to his Waif:WIW I 0/1 Th u d street, near Ferry, A lad named James Bunton, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Bunton, widow, residing on Hay street, was standing on the wharf, in company with a boy named Riley Walton, looking at the boat. He was strileie and knocked down, find sustained severe injuries. He was conveyed to No. 14 Penn street, where his injuries were dressed. He appears to be hurt internally. He had been sent to school in the morning, but was " playing truant." A. man named iTames Olden, residing in West Pittsburg, was sitting in a skill' near the tugboat, but the force of the explosion threw him ashore, a distance of sixty feet. He was badly bruised by the fall, but not seriously hurt. The Nimrod had been built by McCormick & Co., New York oil dealers and was intended for towing oil flats about Oil City. She was a very small craft, being about sixty feet in length and twelve feet beam. She was fur nished 'with a tubular boiler, and had a small cabin on deck, She was regarded as a partial failure, and bad been sent down here for in spection by the Government officers. The mar chinery was made in the East, and the boat was fitted up at Oil City. The boiler head was blown entirely off, and was carried, high in the air, a distance of two hundre ntv or throe hundred yards. It passed overtwo blocks of buildings, and fell in the yard of Messrs. Bunton, Miller .tt Co. , s planing mill on Penn street.. This piece would weigh between three and four hundred pounds. The head was flanged and the iron was pronounced by competent judge§ to be of a superior quality. Pieces of the wreck were seen to fly over the top of the ferry-boat" Ben ton," which bad just landed alongside as the explosion occurred. Great consternation was created on the ferry-boat, as the passengers had not yet landed, but the boat did not sus tain the slightest injury. The cause of the explosion is yet unknown, but the matter will be fully investigated by the coroner. THE PRIZE-FIGHT TO-DAY.—JOhn Tur ner, of New York, and James Turner,of Phila delphia, light this day for $2,000. The light was originally made for $l,OOO, and was to have taken last Tuesday. James Turner was overweight, and Edward Hastings, one of his backers, was publicly charged CO having had him arrested. The stakes were increased to SO,OOO, and the match postponed for six days, the men to fight at catch weights. The money was posted on Saturday night, John's backer, Mr. James Colbert, of New York, wa gered twenty-live dollars on first blood, and offered to wager one hundred dollars that, the New Yorker would win the light in an hour, which was not taken up. 41. €l4l/ report by our special reporter will appear in to-mortedift Press. dr FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Holders of 5-20 coupons payable in November can have their coupons paid in gold, on and after to-day, on presentation to the assistant treasurers of the United States. We have 'reason to State that it will be highly satisfac tory to the Government if all such holders would demand immediate payment, as more than double the amount of gold customs to pay the November interest is now on hand. In the past, it has been found that the unwil lingness to anticipate the payment of interest has not been always met with a corresponding alacrity on the part of those entitled to it, In view of the extreme anxiety of the Secretary of the Treasury to disburse the gold at once, and the probability that when the transfers of registered a. 20 stock are closed on the Beth in stant, it is suggested that the Stock Exeliarige Board will direct both the registered and coupon stock to be dealt in, after October 1, as ex-November interest. If this should be done, there Wellid be no motive left to the holders of the coupon bonds to delay eattig for their interest growing out of the market quotations of the bonds.

Twenty of the' National asso• ciations in Vermont were represented at the meeting. A New York paper regards the6e proceedings as a significant specimen of the determined purpose, of the country at large to resist the attempt now making; - outside the laws of Co ogroa l to centralize the' control of (or else break down) the National. Currendy system in that city. What is already doing in Vermont, it argues wilt soon be done by the National bankers in every State in the Union.
