MONTCOMERY BLAIR'S REPLY TO JUDGE HOLT. [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.

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 PHILADELPHIA.

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.

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." _ What the Alabama Conventioli did.

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.

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.

Details of the Events of the First Two Days' 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.

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. ==! ricsrocEETB DETBUTIY4O, ExIIIBITIONS OP IVONDEU EZIEZI=!

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.

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.

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.
