[Special Despatches to The Press.]
WASHINGTON, September 25,1861.
Official Report of the Ravages or the
=MI
The State Department is in receipt of a num.
ber of despatches relative to the ravages of
the cholera. Despatches received from the
United States Consul at Bundisi, Italy, dated
August 30th, says that the Asiatic cholera had
made its appearance on the Adriatic coast of
the Italian peninsula, and, at the time the
despatch Was written, it seemed to be spread
ing in all directions. Anemia Was the first
place to feel the fatal effects of this terrible
scourge, and the deaths for a low , ' time ave
raged about one hundred per day, but it has
now seemed to have spent its force there, only
some twenty new eases. being reported daily.
It next broke out in San Severs, a place of
some 18,000 inhabitants. The deaths average
about sixty per day, and the disease is still
raging fearfully. A few easea of the cholera
have been at Foggia, and some also in every
place between Bundisi and Bari. The consul at
Bundisi says the disease seems now to be
spreading gradually jn all directions over
Europe, and that it is quite likely to dud' its
way to the United States; but the autumnal
western winds may delay or impede its march
across the Atlantic.
The United States consul at Constantinople,
writing to the department under date of Au•
gust 30th, reports that the ravages of cholera
in that place have almost entirely ceased. If
the steadily-increasing decline continues it is
confidently - believed that the city will be free
from the scourge within ten days. The official
reports show the number of deaths from this
disease, from noon of the 25th to noon of the
25th, to have been fifty-two; from noon of the
26th to noon of the 27th, twenty-six, and from
noon of the 27th to noon of the 20th, forty_
three.
A despatch from the flame semen, dated
September 4th, says that the last official re
turns show the number of deaths the preceding
day to have been but fifteen. It is estimated
by physicians and others that the number of
victims of this scourge in Constantinople and
vicinity will be found to be not less than
fifty thousand.
The consul at Barcelona, under date of Sep
temberilth, report the total number of deaths
at that place, from the 31st of August to Sep
tember 9th inclusive, to be two hundred and
seventeen.

other cause the soldier cannot present him
self payment may be made to his attorney,
upon power duly executed but, in all such
eases, the attorney must be required to en

able to the former.

opposition to fraud and corruption in polities

Ile cannot hope to be elected, and can effect
nothing by running unless it be to promote
the election of Mr. Blood, the Democratic
candidate, who will favor no measures for the
amelioration of the African race If Colonel
Harry White should be beaten, and a radical
Democrat chosen, Mr. Ilennich may congratu

Diplomatic Correspondence.
The third volume of the diplomatic cor
respondence which accompanied the Presi
dentgg message at the commencement of the
second session of the late Congress has just
been issued from the Government Printing.
Bureau. It is a volume of six hundred pages,
and much of its interest has been lost by the
delay of publication. The correspondence
with France commences as far back as No.
vembero.B63, and is on the subjects of equip
ment of belligerentyessels in neutral ports ;
affairs fB Mezico ; cases of the Rappahannock,
Florida, and Georgia; tile Birkenhead iron
clads, the military situation, rumored projects
of. intervention, etc.
It appearts from one of the many letters
written by Mr. DAYTON to Secretary Saw Ann,
dated December, 1:4(;;i', that the British Govern
ment informed Mr. DROITYN DE Miura that
an American vessel had been taken by the
Confederates as a prize and sold. to anEngliSh.
man ; that after this she had been retaken by
one of our own ships, and that Mr. SEWARD
bad therefore refused to recognize the British
title, coming as it did through a Confederate
source.
The English Government thereupon.resolved
that it would recognize the right of the United
states Government to make prizes of Confede
rate vessels, and it submitted the proposition
to the French Government with a view to a
just declaration to that effect. The French
minister replied that he did not know what
course his Government would take in such an
event, and lie did not wish to anticipate it.
Secretary SEWARD, in a letter to Mr. DAYTON,
said he was very thankful that the French Go
vernment declined the proposition, that the
insurgents lied never made a lawful prize, and
had never lawfully condemned a vessel, and
he hazarded little in saying that under no cir
cumstances was the Government of the United.
States likely to recognize any capture or any
consideration they might make or prOcure•
In a letter to Mr. DAYTON, the Secretary of
State said he was authorized to approve of his
reserved remonstrances to the French Govern
ment concerning the prosecution of the work
on the rams, which ware being built in French
ports, and the hospitalities Wended to the

Florida and the Rappahannock ; and, he added,
"For all the losses and damages which the Go
vernment and citizens of the United States
have sustained by the depredations of the ves
sels in question, the United States, as they be•
hem justly, hold the Governments of the
countries from which they have proceeded re
sponsible, whenever they have been duly fore
warned, and have omitted proper measures to
prevent the.departure of said hostile expedi ;
tions.
Mr. DAYTON, in a letter dated March, 18at,
informed Mr. SEWARD that Mr. DROUYN lIR
L'IIDYP assured him that :France Weald not
take Texas as a gift, even if it were aceow
pealed with a handsome donceur. Besides
that, he does not want it, and would not
have it.
The volumes also contain despatches from
our ministers in RuSsia, the Netherlands,
China, and Japan,. and replies thereto by the
secretary of State,:llll showing remarkable
watchfulness and activity in the protection of
our many interests abroad.

"Let, the observe here that it was the fall 'of
Sumpter-that produced on the instant the or
dinance of secession, and filled Virginia with
troops from the gulf States to carry it before
the people. Its effect upon ordinary men may
be conceived bythe influence it exerted ov r ar.
General LEK. 113 - father was authorized by
the President, and fir. Cantina:lX, Secretary: of
War, to converse with General Lue, and ascer
tain whether he would accept the command of
our army in the field, The latter was written
for, and he met my father at my house, when
they conversed for an hour or more. It was a
few -days before the ordinance was passed.
General LEE mine/tided the conversation by
saying secession WAS anarchy, and added,
if he owned the four million of slaves in
the South, he would cheerfully sacrifice
them to the Union; but he did not know
how he could draw his sword on his native
State. He said he would see General SCOTT on
the subject before he decided. A committee
from the Virginia convention, while the Gene
ral and my fatter conversed, were hunting for
him through the city. They met on his lea
ving the house. He repaired with them to
consult the convention, as I have sincelearned,
about some mode of settlement. The fall of
Sumpter settled the question for him and the
cony ention." _

THE LETI . ERS BETWEEN WINZ AND W11+4,-It
will be recollected that in our issue of the 27th,
in the proceedings of the Wirz trial, Judge
Advocate Colonel W. P. Chipman charged Mr.
Schade, one of the counsel for the accused,
With having passed letters between Wirz and
Mrs. Wirz, and with having given money to
the prisoner. Mr. Schade immediately ac
knowledged the charge, and stated that he did
it with no evil purpose, but to relieve the
wants of the accused. The court deliberated
on the matter, which resulted by the presi
dent of the court informing Mr, Schade Gust
the members of the commission fully appre
ciated the action, but General Wallace cau
tioned him against doing so again, as it might
be detrimental to the prisoner.
Yesterday morning, Mr. Schade received the
following letter from Mrs. Wirz
,*
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 98,1865.
Me. SCHADE : Enclosed you will find ten dol
lars, in payment or the ten you sc.,, ,, enerously
bestowed on myhusband, Captain Wirz. Allow
me to thank you, and may the GO4l of mercy
and justice reward you for your kindness,
Very respectfully, yours, E. Wiez.
Washington Chronicle of yesterday.
A RARE RELIC,—T. R. Toriv Of this city, has
exibited to ns a specimen of paper money
which is a curiosity in its way. It is a note
of the denomination of six-pence, and was
issued in 1760, for the benefit of the poor.' It
is somewhat similar to the "continental
money" of OM' country, and is in an excellent
state of preservation, with the exception of
being somewhat perforated by moths. The
following is the inscription on the note :
SIX-Pkisok. Ho. 19,872. C.
This indented BILL of SIX-PENCE shall entitle
the Bearer to receive of the Treasurer of the Con
tributors to the Relief and Employment of the Poor
of the City of Philadelphia, the like Sum of Six
pence, of equal 'Value with the same Stun, of.the
Bills of Credit of this Province now by Law cur
rent, according to the Directions of an Act of
General Assert - My of Penney/innia, made in the
Ninth Year of the Reign of Hls Majesty GrEO.
Dated the tenth of ifareh, 1769.
S. Craige. 6tl.
The bill also contains a out representing a
coat-of-arms, butso much defaced that it can
not be identified. The whole is surrounded
by an old-fashioned border. This old paper is
in possession Of Mr. Torr, and can be seen by
persons curious in such matters, at Messrs.
Torr & Ehrroan's hat store, southwest corner
of Centre Square.—Lancas ter Express.
THE NexT CONORESs.—The Chicago Itoriatili
can, of Monday, publishes a &Militate list of
the two houses of the next Congress. In the
Senate, twenty-five States are now repre
sented by 38 Unionists and 11 Democrats. Ac
cording to the party division that existed be
fore the war, the Howie of Ilepresentives now
stands 140 Unionists to •41 Democrats -, but Cm.
the great question of at once admitting the
'Representatives of the Southern States, or
keeping them ; or most of them, for a longer
period in pronation . , it is not 'probable that
the same proportions will be preserved.
Should all the Southern States now without
representation, whose Senators and Repre
sentatives are yet to be elected, choose Demo
crats opposed to universal 'suffrage, as is to be
expected they will do, and, should they all be
admitted, the Senate will then contain forty
seven Democrats; and the House of Repre
sentatives would contain 150 Unionists to 92
Democrats.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE NEW YORK DEMO.
cEATE.—Accorditig to the New York Tribone,
of yesterday, the President informed Dean
Richmond that he should in no wise interfere
with New York politics; that he considered
himself pledged to no party, and that only
those who approved of 144 present policy
could be regarded as his frienas. He fdrther
stated that the policy of reconstruction which
he is now pursuing is not an experiment, but the
settled course which, he has determined to carry
out without reference to the wishes Of any party.
DECISION ON THE OATH FOR LAWYSIIS.—Judge
John W. Underwood, presiding in the United
States District Court, now in session at Alex
andria, Va., has rendered a decision upon the
n pplication of Francis L. Smith, Esq., a former
member of the bar of Virginia, to be admitted
to practice in the above-named court. Mr.
Smith asked to be admitted to practice on
taking an oath that he had not aided the re
bellion since he received hie Mil pardon from
the President, in JURE, last assuming that the
act of January, 1865, requiring an oath that he
had never aided the rebellion was an er post
facto law, and therefore unconstitutional, and
that the pardon under the Constitution abso
lutely cancelled all former acts of dialoyalty.
Judge Underwood held that unless the appli
cant could take the oath required by the act
of CongreSs above referred to—which Mr.
Smith says he cannot - do—he could not be ad
mittedle Practice in that court. The petition
was accordingfirefused. Thin ease decides
number of applications in which the same rea
sons are assigned for admission.
ABOUT BUTTRIL—We hear of a large number
of families and individuals who have doter
. mined to forego the use of butter, or to con
sume it very sparingly until the attiele is
brought down to something like a reasonable
price. Many are willing to use substitutes,
even although the latter may be more expen
sive than buttet, rather than submit to the
extortions of farmers, dairyman, and Mick
eters. Who will subscribe to and adhere to

It would be false to assert that the present
exhibition is superior to, or that it even equals
some of those of previous years in the num
ber or quality of the stock or articles pre
sented to the public view, but in the cash re
ceipts we fail in judgment if they do not
equal or surpass similar displays in the past.
It is true the number of white badges upon
which are inscribed the magic words to the
gate-keepers "Life Member, 186.5," adorn the
graeefid &VMS Of more matrons and maids
than have heretofore been noticed, but yet
where one dense mass of humanity is every
hour besieging the entrances, thronging the
tents and buildings, crushing each others'
crinoline along the raCC-COUrO9, and blocking
the gateways of exit, it will be admitted some
of Uncle Samuel's greenbacks and currency of
less denominations must be going into the
Coffers of the society.
Heavy and continuous rains are iffittatial,
but unavoidable delays of trains were the
principal causes of the failure to fill the stalls
and stands to the extent desired and expect
ed by ihtprogenitora of the fair ; IMO With so
many unexpected guests to the banquet is it
not a matter of congratulation that some space
was left wherein, in comparative comfort, the
choice viands presented could be devoured?
The profits to the society, it will be acknow
ledged, are not in the superior shoats and ex
celsior sausages, nor in the improved hay cut
ters and spotted heifers, but in the tickets
sold ; and as tens of thousands of the oldest
and youngest of kennsylVattiale children have
attested their satisfaction at the display,
none can grumble at the absence of a single
Devonshire, or at the fact that Jonathan Simp
kins, of Whitman, failed, - frOm railroad deten
tion, to have his pet donkey upon the race
course at the hour When trials of speed by
animals of a quick draft was announced to
take place.
Probably none of the genus homo, however,
have had so much occasion to be satisfied as
the gentlemen who employ their digits pro
fessionally in thbir neighbors' pockets. They
came from all parts of the State, and until
last night performed their manipAlations
without interruption. Three weeks ago Ge
neral E. C. Williams, the superintendent of
the Fair, 'went personally to the Williamsport
Ciy Connate, and begged them tO appropriate
one hundred and fifty dollars for the payment
of three shrewd Philadelphia or New York
detectives ; but UllaCT the fear evidently of
incurring a huge public debt to meet the appro
priation, ills suggestions were disregarded
and lo! the result. It has been authoritatively;
announced that no less than three hundred
persons were robbed of their money or
watches (biting yesterday within the en
closure, and at length it became so certain
that entrance into the building wherein
perishable articles were displayed would be
attended with loss, that it became necessary
for the officers to recommend the visitors to
remain without that structure. Policemen—
or at least harmless-looking bipeds, with
badges denoting them to be such—were there
in profusion—ornamental but not useful—and
beneath their very nasal organs young piek
pockets and veteran adepts plied their trade.
The streets and hotels were not exempt, and
in the public hail of one extensive hostelrie
promenaded at One time WW I the utmost
boldness three of the most venerable of the
fraternity, the youngest of the trio being
over sixty years of ago.
To-day their depredations were not con
tinued ; but why I Because Carlin, the cele
brated, he who with the same energy and ac
tivity follows and nabs the ten-dollarthief and
the ninety-thousand dollar defaniter, Came
last night, and before ho had eaten his break
fast this morning, had quietly shipped between
forty and fifty of the vagabonds. Fifteen more
were placed in prison, but still, as one walks
along the plank walks, he occasionally espies
at his feet an empty wallet or discarded reti
cule.
With go many visitors, of course the catch
penny shows inside and outside of the enclo
sure receive a large patronage. They are
here, there, and everywhere, and while 'the
marapioth boy rolls his enormous weight from
one side or the eanvio to the other, ho hears
the sweet notes of Bong issuing from the huge
lips of his rival, the fat girl, as she entertains
her audience -within an adjoining tent. The
Siamese Twine, the Belgian Giant, the calf
with two heads, the heifer with two tails, and
innumerable freaks of nature, each according
to the orator at the doorway, being more at
tractive and wonderfuithan the other, are also
bringing in the postage currency of the COWL'
trymen and their fair attendants.

Exhibition from our Special
Correspondent.
CBpecial Despatch to The Press.]
WimAxspett , r, Sept. 9.9, 1861
Today was the last day of the fair. Nothing
of importance has occurred. The morning
and afternoon were taken up by a trial of
speed for private purses between the same
horses, a pair of grays from Tamaqua and
blacks from Williamsport. In the morning
the grays beat—time 2.4614—but in the after
noon the blacks were declared the winners—
time 2.38;4'. These so•ealled trials of speed
are, without doubt, at times very interesting
and exciting, but the general opinion here
is that we 'have had rather too much
of a good thing, Throughout the day the
platform at the depot has been thronged
by thousands of people. They .are going
to all points of the compass ; innumera
ble vehicles also line the highways and by
ways, mid the scene la indeed picturesque.
The Most of the aitieles and fruits which have
been on exhibition here, have been sold at
private sale, many bringing fabulous prices.
The exhibitors and inventors have alltiost in a
body left, and Williamsport before long will
settle down into its usual quiet. The.premiams
were to-day awarded, but the list is too long
to send you over the wires, suffice it to say,
that general satisfaction
Was
exhi
bition has been fine, and fromas given ,wliat
eau at pre
sentlearn,the most successful ever h eld outside
of Philadelphia or Pittsburg. Nearly fifteen
thousand dollars have been taken in, and about
seven thousand cleared. The hotels have all
made small fortunes, and the faces of the land
lords are as bright and' smiling as possible. It
is said that the Herdie House, the largest ho
tel here, made twenty thousand dollars. No
accident has yet occurred, not even a railroad
one, though thousands have been transported
over the roads. Though the day of the pick.
pockets was a short one they did a brisk busi_
ness. It is estimated that the losses from this
cause will reach -ten thousand dollars. Go
vernor Curtin leaves tonight for his home in
Harrisburg. He has been well received here.
At the chase of the fair this afternoon himself
and Senator Cowan were escorted from the
grounds by the marshals, with a band of mu
sic, to their hotels. J. R. D.

of The Press more comprehensive information
relative to the great State Agricultural Exhi
bition than a mere telegraphic despatch can
possibly eOnvey, Matty particulars this
public entertainment may not differ from
similar ones inaugurated under the auspices
of local sodieties, organimi for similar pur
poses; but, the very fact of it being the off
spring of a State organization, commenced and
to be carried on under the rule of some of the
best known agricultural and other represents..
tivelor our people, gives it an interest which
no mere county exhibition can ever possibly
attain. The one is confined generally in its
exhibitors and patrons to the residents of a
small district, but the - other offers attractions
tothe dwellers in every portion of the common
wealth, and within its enclosure may be seen
the hardy yeomanry of every section, gathered
together to witness the display; to examine
the merits and demerits of new mechanical
invention designed +6 save ]abor and expense
to the former, and to criticise the many points
to be discerned by a connoisseur in the bovine,
equine, and porcine portions of the animal
kingdom. Agricultural ambition is confined
to no particular county, and hence as the
visitor walks through the seven or eight
acres which constitute the grounds, he sees
by the _ printed labels carefully affixed to
every stall and stand, that Philadelphia and
Pittsburg peacefuilystrive for the meritorious
premiums, quietly the while awaiting the
genius and skill of the Northern and Southern
borders to come into the contest and run the
gauntlet of public inspection and judicial
criticism. New York, Ohio, and the far West
too, have their representative here, and
already have had sufficient information im
parted to know that their trip hither has not
been made for naught, and that Pennsylvania
is too unselfish to disregard the claims of her
sister States of the Union, when the agricultu
ral or mechanical superiority of their sons is
entitled to recognition.

been the racecourse, and, although no unusual
rate of speed was attained, there was always
a sufficient number of steeds on the track to
make the scene interesting and exciting.' It is
useless to deny the fact, however much its
publication may disturb the equanimity of the
moral portion of the community, that thou
sands of both sexes will visit an agricultural
exhilAtion with the objeet of witnessing these
trials of speed, where only hundreds would
attend merely to view a display of mammoth
pumpkins or of imported Alderneys. Horse
racing has long since been discarded as an
immoral amusement, but it really puzzles a
novice to ascertain the difference between
that and the sacalled "trial of speed,"
especially where a premititit Of a few hundred
dollars is offered as the reward of superi
ority. To-day, when the hour arrived for the
race to come off, which was to put*lnto the
pockets of the winner three hundred of Uncle
Sam's dollar issue, every inch of space was
occupied, and when the victor was announced
pretty lasses of sixteen vied with the jockey
of three score years in their plaudits, while
their blight eyes and rosy cheeks bore unmis
takable evidence of the excitement which
pervaded their graceful frames. Let the op
ponents of such amusements sermonize as
they Neese, Without them such exhibitions
as that which has brought to WilliatitSpOi't so
many thousand people during the past three
days, will fail to pay even the most trivial ex
pense incident to getting up an annual fair.
Of course, agrleulture has been the, theme of
conversation during the week inside and out
of the enclosure, and it will be conceded that
Professor Allen displayed considerable saga
city and - wisdom when he determined to de
liver en address on that subject: His dis
course was highly interesting and instructive,
so much so, indeed, that at its conclusion, on
motion of Mr. Knox, of Montgomery, it was
resolved that it should be engrafted in the
published reports of the society.
The following is the score of the base-ball

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
There is a general disposition to _give credence to
the report of a new loan about to he issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury. It was stated some time
ago that the new loan, so much spoken of, would
be in the shape of 107490, and would merely be to
the extent of V 47,229,060, only that amount of the
loan authorized by the act bf March, 1864, being still
undisposed of. The Treasury is under no pressing
necessity for funds at preient, and for this reason
it is believed that tills loan will not be put on the
market. That which will be antiaorined, honfeeer,
will partake (as was stated In the telegraphic de
spatches to The Pries yesterday) of the nature
or a. live-twenty loan, the object of which will
be to fund Ottiatillinft indebtedness. The pre
sent condition of the National treasurys is highly
satisfactory; at least it is entirely beyond the ne
cessity of asking for further loans to carry on the
machinery of government. A loan for feinting
debt already Incurred is not to be confounded with
the character of ordinary' loans. The Internal re,
venue is now averagin g over three-fourths of a
million per day; the customs give far over aye
youlions per month la gold, and yery hettyy

manner of - war material. Bat the customs and in
ternal rexenne will alone fuifidsh more than treble
the sum required, A 7149411 t ago we were running
in debt at the rate of two millions per slay. .NVitidii
the last month, we have completed the work of
paying off (homily and all) and mustering out of
the service over four-dfths of all the army, yet we
Increased our debt less than one-sixth of a million
per day. While thus stopping the feartili additions
to the public debt, we actually diminished the in
terest on our debt a million and a quarter by re
deeming interest-bearing certificates of indebted
ness non-interest-beartng legal tenders.
The stock market MOWN a slight hesitation after
the strong upward demand or tile last few days, ap
parently owing to the dispositidn of operators to
realize the advance. There was, however, still a
very general aetivity, and prevailing inclination to
buy for higher prives, Government loans were not
on the market to any large extent, and the saleS
were exceedingly limited, being confined mostly to
the...seven-thirties at 09%. State securities were
daft; a lot of War-loan Is sold at 100%. There was
little or no inquiry for City Cs, and the new sold in a
small way, at a decline. The speculative move
ment In the share list broke off to some extent,
Catawissa declining 1%; Pennsylvania Railroad %,
and Reading -X, the latter selling about two P. M.
at PM, Camden and Amboy, however, rose 1, with
sales at 127; Northern Central sold at 48%; Little
Schuylkill at 33%, and Long Island at 40. - There was
a little better feeling in the railways at the close,
and a slight rally; but, as on the previous few days,
the Chief feature of business was in the coal stocks.
New York and Middle at 10R, Feeder Dam at 1,4 4
Big 3lountsin at 6,11, Swatara Falls at 4, Clinton at
%, Fulton at 8, New Creek at IX, and St. Nicholas
at 4. Of the first-named stock, the number of shares
which changed hands was 10,600, which is quite
extraordinary for a coal stock, and bespeaks its fa ,
ture activity. It is understood that the Reading
Railroad, or its friends, are in the market to pur
chase tile New York_aud Middle stock, as the latter
would, in case of the eoitipletiou of certain arranger
merits now being made, become a serious rival of
the former road in the coal-carrying line. In refer
ence to the Feeder Dam, which is now exciting no
little attention at the board, we arc informed that
the company owns one hundred and AightY.tllree
acres or land in fee, near Pittston. Pa., immedi
ately adjoining the lands of the Pennsylvania Cott/
Company, along the boundary of which runs the
Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railvad and the
Wyoming Canal. Besides this, the company ciwns
several valuable leases. The earnings of the
colliery on the "Orchard" vein amounted in
August to upwards of filth' thousand dollars. The
profits for the present month will probably reach
*con, Bank aml passenger Railroad stocks con
tinue firm; of the latter there were sales Of Wend
and Third at 80; Thirteenth and Fifteenth at 24, and
Restonville at 2331, with very little offering at these
ngures. The only sale of bank stock was Farmers'
and Mechanics , at 120, Tim oil stocks were mode
rately active; Daizell was 36 higher; Alapie Shade,
howc car, declined 1, with sales at 6,4. The market
closed feverish, with a decided upward tendency.
Reading rallied after second board, and at 4 P.N.
SOld at 874, All thellitikagns Point to a continued
active market.
