wide chasm between' the past, with its
fatal prejudices and blind hatreds, and the

are humbled before the impressive spec

ROBBERY AND ARSON CHARGED
AGAINST 11131.
WASHINGTON", Oct. 2, WA
The Arrest of Brigadier General Bris
coe for the Robbery of Government
Funds—Further Particulars.
Since the arrest of Brevet Brigadier General
llatscOe, Colonel 199th Pennsylvania, for the
robbery of Government funds amounting to
forty thousand dollars, in the possession of the_
quartermaster at LynellbUrg, Virginia, some
developments have been made which show
the systematic planning of the robbery. It
appears from recent evidence adduced that
the Colonel took LACKEY into his confidence,
and confided his plans and instructed I,Acucv
to invite the quartermaster having the
funds in his charge to enter into the scheme.
The Captain, in order to deceive the pair,
heartily acquieseed, but at the same time in.
formed the authorities of the contemplated
robbery. General BAKER, chief of the detec
tive force, immediately adopted measures to
entrap the thieves, and accordingly had his
efficient force so arranged.that at the moment
the funds were out of the quartermaster's
safe the burglar should be surprised and ar.
rested. The Colonel, after haying sent LACEEI7
to Philadelphia on some slight pretext, eon_
ceived the plan of appropriating all the money,
and leaving hissonfederate with only his pains
for his trouble. Accordingly, during his ab
sence, he took an impression of the key:hole
in wax, manufactured a key, opened the safe,
and appropriated the money. After having
obtained the plunder he entered his office and
commenced the task of counting the money,
when the door of his room was forced open,
and, with the evidences Of his guilt before
him, was arrested,. Upon a search of the
room it was discovered that he bad a large lot
of combustible material, which he had in.
tended to use in firing the quartermaster's
olliee in endeavoring to hide the evidence of
his guilt. The prisoners are now incarcerated
in the Old Capitol prison, and in a few days
will be arraigned before a military tribunal.
The Episcopal Church of Alabama and
• the Prayer for the President of the
'United States.
General llownlin, of the Freedmen's Bureau,
has received an order issued by - Etajorteneral
Thomas, in Alabama, - which is likely to cre
ate a sensation among the members of the
Protestant Episcopal elan:oho* of that state.
This Church, as is well known, has an esta
blished form of prayer to be used for the Pre
sident of the United States, and all in civil au
thority. During the rebellion the prayer was
changed to one for the President of the Con
federate States, and so altered was used la the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Ala.bama.
Since the overthrow of the rebellion the prayer
has been omitted altogether in the Episcopal
churches of-Alabama. This omission was re
commended by Right Rev. R. Wimsca, Bishop
of Alabama. These facts having been brought
to the knowledge of General Taomws, au order
has been issued directing that the said RICH
ARD WILIIER, Bishop of the Protestant EDISON
pal Church of the Diocese of Alabama, and the
clergy of said diocese be suspended from their
functions and forbidden to preach or perform
divine serviee ; and that their places of wor
ship be closed until said bishop and clergy re
turn to their allegiance to the United States
Government, and give evidence of their loy
alty by offering to resume the, age Of prayer
for the President, and taking the oath pre.
scribed in the amnesty proclamation.
General Palmer and the Department of
Kentucky.
The report that RENO"' General PALMIUI is to
be removed from command of the Department
of Kentucky, is incorrect. Itis tree, however,
that 110 n. G. CLAY Sutra has been making an
effort to accomplish this end, because General
PALMEII will not assist in sustaining and re
viving the institution of slavery. General
PALMEn, acting upon the belief that slavery is
dead in. Kentucky, as elsewhere, has directed
passes to be given to all people of color who
could not obtain employment at home, and
who were compelled to go elsewhere to get it.
SMITH finds fault with this pass system ' and
desires that somebody shall command in Ken
tucky who will recognize and sustain slavery.
The whole matter is before the President, who
no doubt will finally settle it.
Accounts of Late Southern Postmas.
Non. I. N. ARNOLD, Sixth Auditor of the Trea
sury, in conjunction with the Postmaster Gen
eral, is engaged in overhauling the accounts of
late southern postmasters, and instituting
suits for the recovery of such balances as may
have been due the department at the breaking
out of the rebellion. The correspondence upon
this and similar subjects with the Southern
postmasters, is becoming extensive. Some
postmasters come forward and offer to pay the
balance which they owed; others send - olaims
for pay due them for services up to the time
their respective States seceded. Some ques
tions connected with these money relations of
amnestied rebels to the General Government
will probably require the action of Congress
before they are finally adjusted.

The Secretary of the Treasury hati ISSned
proposals for funding certificates Of indebted

notes, and gives notice to the holders of certi
ficates of indebtedness which mature before
the Ist day of Janusll7 next, of compound.in•
terest notes and of one and two-year Trea
sury notes, of the readiness of the Department
to give in exebange for then). to the extent of
fifty millions of dollars ex per cent. live
twenty year bonds at three per cent. premiuna,
that is to say one hundred dollars of bonds for
each one hundred and three dollars in certift
eates and notes, provided the conversion is
made prior to the first day of November
next. The bonds issued in exchange for such
certificates and notes will bear an in
terest 94' #ix Per cent. per annum, pay-
able semi-annually in coin upon the first
days of May and November, and will
be redeemable at the pleasure of the Go
vernment after five years, and payable
in twenty years from the Hrst day of No
vember, 1805. The coupon and registered
bonds issued under this proposal will be of
the denominations of one hundred, five hun
dred and one thousand dollars. Registered
bonds of five thousand and ten thousand dol
lars will be issued if desired. Holders of cer
tificates, compound-interest or treasury notes,
who desire to make such conversions, will de
liver them to the Treasurer, the Assistant
Treasurers, or the designated depositaries of
thetuited States, or to any national deposi
tory bank which may consent to transact the
business without charge. Interest will be al
lowed on certificates of indebtedness and one
and two year treasury notes matured or ma
turing prior to the Ist of November, 1865, up
to the date of maturity, and when maturing
after the Ist of November, interest will be al.
lowed to that day. • Upon the compound-inter
est notes the interest will be computed to
November 1, 1805, upon the amount of
principal,
,and interest compounded on
the back Of the said notes from the pe
riod next prior to that date. The
principal and interest of such treasury notes
and obligations will be considered together as
an offer for conversion; but, when after de.
ducting the principal of the bonds and three
per cent, premium, there -remains a fractional
of one hundred dollars, this fractional part
will be paid tp the depositor. The Secretary
reserves to himself the right of withdrawing
this-proposal at any time prior to the said first
day of November, provided that fifty millions
of dollars shall, prior to that date, be offered
for conversion as aforesaid.

Sin Your despatch of February 9, No. 149,
has been received In this communication you
mention , that the Archduke Maximilian, of
Austria, is expected in Paris, and that circum
stances may arise in which it may be necessary
for you either to attend or to decline to attend
ceremonies which may be observed in. his
honor as a sovereign of Mexico, and yomask
instructions. I have taken the President's-di
rections upon the question. If the Archduke
Maximilian appears in Paris only in his.oha
meter as an imperial prince of the House of
Hapsburg you will be expected to be neither
demonstrative nor reserved in your deport
ment towards him. If he appears there with
any assumption of political authority or title
in Mexico you will entirely refrain-from inter
course with him. Should your proceedings
become a subject of inquiry or remark you
will be at liberty, in the exercise of your own
discretion, to say that this Government, in
view of its rights and duties in the- present
conjuncture of its affairs, has prescribed fixed
rules to be observed, not only by this depart
ment, but by its representatives in foreign
countries. We acknowledge revolutions only
by direction of the President, upon full and

DurAILTMENT OF STAT,E
WASHINGTON, Sept. PS, ISM
Sin.:Unofficial newspaper statements con
cerning the alleged entrance of the Mexican
General Cortinas with an armed force into the
Territory of Texas, within the United States,
with an assumption of military authority,
have attracted the attention of this Depart
ment as well as that of the Minister of France
at this capital. The reports are contradictory
and apparently unreliable. The dignity of
this Government and its honor, as a neutral
Power in the contict Which is raging in Mexieo,
render it necessary that the President should
be fully informed as early as possible of
the prciceedings to which I have thus refer
red. I have therefore to request that you will
ascertain the facts, and make a report thereon
to the Secretary of War. In the meantime, I
have the pleasure to inform you that the pro
ceeding is approved by which, orithe occasion
referred to, you gave notice to the said Cor
tines that you
presence in arms within the
United States, in an attitude of war against a
friendly Power, with which the United States
are at peace„would not be tolerated. Although
that proceeding indicates that you have faith
fully adhered to the instructions given to
your predecessors, yet, I think it proper to
renew the Injunetion that On no Recount, and
in no way, must the neutrality of the United
States in the war between France and Mexico
be compromised by our military forces, or he
suffered to be compromised within your com
mand by either of the belligerents:

Sin: I herewith enclose you a slip cut from
t r iationarri (the original being from the London
Globe), stating that I had intimated a readi
ness on the part of/the United States to re
ceive a minister from Maximilian, as Emperor
of Mexico, &c. These statements will, doubt
less, be republished in our country. I need
SOltroely say that, t3O far as I am concerned,
there is not a word of truth in them. I have
never given, nor thought of giving any such
intimation as therein stated, either officially
or unofficially, publicly or privately.
Whether there is any truth in the statement
as respects Mr. Slidell, his application for a
conference and its refusal, I know not.

Sin: Your despatch of April 11, No. 449 has
been received.
I thank you for the infOrmation it brings
concerning the acceptance of the tendered
crown by the Archduke Maximilian, and his
intended departure for Mexico.
Events which have recently occurred in the
eastern section of that cosatry, if they are cor
rectly reported, show that the MeXiean na
tional authorities are not likely to be immedi
ately suppressed. It is of course not impossi
ble that new embarrassments for this Govern
ment may grow out of the Archduke's as
sumption of authority in Mexico. But we
shall do all that prudence, Justice and honor
require to avert them ; at the same time we
shall not forego the assertion of any of our
nation al rights.
If such precautions fail to secure us against
aggression, we shall then, I trust, be able to
rhic, without great eftart, to the new duties
which in that ease will have devolved upon
us. 1 remain now firm, as heretofore, in the
opinion that the destinies of the American
continent are not to be permanentlycontrolled
any political arrangements that can be
made in the capitals of Europe.

good will which the Emperor's government

and purposes on the subject mentioned, it
nevertheless remains my duty to say that this
Government has long recognized, and still
does continue to recognize the constitutional.
government of the United States of MeXiee as
the sovereign authority in that country, and
the President, Benito Juarez, as its chief. This
Government, at the same tine, equally recog
nizes the condition of war existing in Mexico
between that country and France. We main
tain absolute neutrality between the bellige.
rents, and we do not assume to judge, much
less to judge in advance, of the effect of the
war upon titles or estates. We have no know
ledge of such an emigration from California
to Senora as you have described in veer note ;
but if such an emigration has taten place,
those persons who thus emigrate will of course
be regarded as subjecting themselves to the
authority and laws by which the rights of citi
zens of Mexico are governed ; and while it
seems unnecessary for the President to assume
that such emigrants will claim the protection
of this Government for any estates of what
ever kind they may attain or attempt to at
tain in Mexico, it would certainly be presump
tuous to attempt nowto decide upon the vali
dity of such claim.
Peaceful emigration from the United States
is entirely free from restraint or influence of
the Government. Emigrants themselves are
generally well informed concerning their
rights. Under these circumstances, any inter
ference of the. Government concerning such
emigration would be as Inexpedient as it
would be without precedent. The case would
be different if the act of emigration was at
tended with preparations and purposes hos
tile to Mexico, or to either belligerent party,
or to any other nation, and therefore incom
patible with the laws of the United States or
with the law of nations. It is believed that
the Government of the United States has al
ready sufficiently indicated the views it must
take in such a ease if it should occur, which,
however, there seems no immediate reason to
apprehend.
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF BATON ROUSE
AND roam HUDSON, BATON ROUGE, Louisiana,
Sept. 24, 18640- , GotofilM ; The letter of Hon.
W. 11. Seward, Secretaryof State, to son. E. M.
Stanton, Secretary of War under date of Aug.
29,1864, covering tianslation of a communica
tion received at Washington by the repre
sentative of the Emperor of the French, in re
gard to certain occurrences said to have taken
place on the Rio Grande, and which has been
referred to me for report, has been received.
There is nothing specific in the charges or
statements made upon which to. Make a de
tailed report.
With reference to the great number of Feile
rals said to have crossed to Matamoras after
the evacuation of Brownsville, I would state
that there were not six citizens of the United
States left in Brownsville when I withdrew
the troops from that place. I had sent all
persons, men, women and children, to New
h
Orleans. Some few Mexicans ; who had been
living on the east side of the Rio Grande ) may
probably have crossed into Mexico, but I
know the number must have been small, for I
had previously shipped a great majority of
even the Mexicans to New Orleans ;J. mean
such as resided on our side of the river. I
"have been constantly in receipt of advices
from Matamoras since the evacuation of
Brownsville, and had such occurrences as the
above taken place, I would certainly have
heard something of it.
With reference to t/49 arms and ammunition
said to have gone into Mexico from litneigOßN
territory, I would undertake to say, in the
most positive manner, that nothing of the
kind took place from January 1, 1864, till Au
gust 1864, the period of my administration
on the Rio Grande, not did anything wear
that would warrant even a rumor of such a
thing.
It seems to me that when such charges are
made, involving, as they do, the reputation of
'Officers of the United States army, some kind
of proof should accompanS , the charges ; but .
these statements being so general I can do
nothing more than make a mere denial of the
whole.
There is neither truth in the report nor
ground for it.
.I am, with great respect, your ob , t servant,
F. A. HERRON, Major General.

THE TRIAL OF WIRZ.
Continuation of the Prisoner's Tie
fence—General itraux Relieved from
Duty on the Commission—Mr.
Ba
ker Rudely Treated by the Court.
WasnmoTow, Oct. :I.—The Wirz trial was re
sumed today. W. D. Hammock, connected
with the late rebel service, testified that Con
federates could buy overcoats and other a/ti
t-4.s then risoners ha& clad he believed on one
occasion the paroled prisoners
of clothes apiece from the supply of United
States Sanitary goods received at Anderson
•
On cross-examination by Colonel Chipman,
the witness said he never saw Wirz beat a
prisoner of war, but he had seen hint take
hold of men and throw them into their places,
speaking to them in a profane manner, Wirz
being of violent temper ,• witness had smug
gled onions, etc., into the stockade, selling
them at a profit to the prisoners.
After the examination of this witness,
General Bragg retired from the court-room.
Judge Advocate Chipman then' read an order
from the War Department relieving General
Bragg, from duty on the Military Commission.
Mr. Baker wanted to know the reason.
The court. You can't ascertain ; none of
your business.
Mr. Baker. Can't I address a few words to
the court?
The ecurt. No ; nor make a motion ; it is
none of your business ; . you have nothing to
do with the orders to this court.
Mr. Baker. Then I must object.
The court. There is no objection about it ;
go on with your examination.
Vincent, Bardo, an Italian, testified that he
was the man who blacked his face in order to
make his escape by mixing in with an outgoing ,
gang of negroes, and for which he was pun
ished by twenty-five lashes, and by being put
in the ehalwang. •
Mr. Baker to Yt irz—Captain, stand up. The
captain did so.
Mr. Baker to the witness—ls this the man
who ordered you to be whipped and put in the
stocks?
The witness—No, that's not the man; I know
that old Dutch captain ; I do not know who is
sued the order for my punishment.
Other witnesses were- examined for the de
fence, and the Commission adjourned.

THE FENIANS
'There were no new developments in the
crusade against the Fenians. The examina
tion of the prisoners stood fixed for the 1:3(1."
James Murphy, one of the men arrested at
Dublin, who described himself as a citizen of
Boston, and protested against his arrest, had
been set at liberty "after (says the /Memnon)
an interview between the American Consul
and the authorities." It is stated that Mur
phy is connected with the War Department at
Washington, but no explanation is given of
connection with the suppressed Irish people.
As the . BBth regiment was on parade in Cork
barracks, the sergeant-major was called into
the autird•room and shown a roll-book of mem
ber's names taken from an arrested Fenian..
The sergeant major admitted that one of the
signatures was his, and was at once taken into
custody.
A private soldier, belonging to the same
regiment, was also arrested.
This caused great excitement in Cork, even
leading, it is reported, to a run on a Cork
banker.
A Fenian demonstration was rather ex
pected at-the Limerick races, and the military
were kept in readiness, but all passed off
quietly.
James Stevens, for whom a reward of &IV is
offered, was aid•de-camp to Smith O'Brien at
Ballingary.
The American officer arrested at Queens
town on the arrival of the City of Limerick,
turns out to-be a Federal and not a Confede
rate captain, named McCafferty. A number of
Fenian documents of an incendiary character
were found' in his possession,with evidence
that he is connected with the nevoment.
The arms of Brigadier General Gleason, of
the United States army, who was also a pas
senger on the City of Limerick, were taken
from him.
The Morning Pose editorially asserts that the
American Government is strongly Opposed to
the Fenlens, and will do all in its power to de
feat them. It says President Johnson and Mr.
Seward are animated by tbe most friendly sen
timents towards England, and the latter has
communicated Fenian movements to the Bri
tish Cabinet, and neither the British public nor
the Government will readily forget Mr. Se
ward's honorable and amicable conduct.
The Daily , News thinks the Fenian collapse
is likely to settle, in a beneficial way, the re-
Miens between the - United States and Lreland,
and that the political relations between
England and Ireland are likely to be far better
- understood than they have ever vet been.
Lieutenant Colonel Voboreke, late adjutant
general of cavalry, writes to the Times a state
ment that the documents found on the person
of Colonel Dahlgren, after he was killed, were
forgeries.

The London .rines says that Frankfort ad
vices mentiowthat a- meeting of American
bondholders was recently called there bar
Lanier, a New York banker, which-was largely
attended. Mr. Lanier stated-that he had not
come to borrow, as his- countrymen were com
petent to provide for the wants of the Govern
ment, but to make some communications
about, present facts and the future prospects,
the Secretary of the Treasury having desired
him to do so during his stay in Europe. Mr.
Lanier stated that as large importations were
required for the South; a large revenue from
customs was probable. He also stated that
Congress, at its next session, will probably
sanction export duties on cotton, tobacco, &c.,
by which an additional revenue of sixty mil
lions would be raised. Lt was the intention of
the Secretary of the Treasury to take up spe
cie as soon as- possible, with a reduction of
paper currency next spring.
The meeting expressedgreat doubts whether
export or large import duties would answer
the purpose, the 118196 on these subjects being
entirely of an qppositie character in Europe,
where export duties are abolished and import
duties reduced to the lowest point. Above
all, the advantage was urged of setting aside
certain revenues forthe gradual extinotion of
paper currency.

There are rumors of probable ministerial
changes shortly, and also of some Government

His death was quiet and painless, after a year

was a strict churchman a man of quiet man
ners • a handsome declaimer, and a fair scho
lar. lie was never wealthy, and it is under
stood that he left his family without an inde
pendence.
The time has 00=0 when the circumstances
of his last illness and death, with the occasion
which suddenly convulsed a frame from per
feet health into a wreck and mere shadow, may
be mentioned as a historical fact. William L.
Yancey came to his end by violence. It was
toward the close of the second session of the
first Confederate Congress that he broke froth
the counsels and influence of Mr. Davis, and
became, with Mr. Henry S. Forte, a leader of
the opposition: Mr. Ben Hill, a Senator from
Georgia, had likewise changed his front, and
was remarkable for the earnestness, personal
interest and persistency with which he sus
tained the measures of an administration to
which his allegiance had been given but date
in the day. Mr. Yancey, it. will be remembered,
had returned from an unsuccessful mission, to
Europe, and was representing Alabama in the
Confederate Senate.
The question of a navy was unaer discussion
in secret session. The debate ranged beyond
the parliamentary limits, and Messrs; Yancey
and Hill became animated over the abstract
doctrines of State rights and the divinity of
slavery. High words passed, and finally the
lie was given by Mr. MIL Mr. Yanc© leaped
forward, and, as he aimed a blow at
h S adVer
sax 7, was Caught in the arms of the latter, and
violently throwitback over a desk. Mr. Hill
is a man of wonderful muscular development.
Mr. Yancey was never very heavy, though
lithe and active. In the fall his spine was se
riously injured, and, when the bystander!'
rushed upon the two, and dragged the one
from the other, the great fire-eater lay uncon
scious upon the floor, with a little trickle of
blood oozing from his lips. He was carried to
his hotel; a vote of secrecy was passed, and
the encounter hushed up. No one in Rich.
mond, except that body of men, knew of the
circumstance for six months after. Mean
while, the victim did not recover. He droop
ed from day to day. He became listless, hope
less and vacant. He was transferred to his
own home, where his convulsions ceased a few
weeks before his death, which was tranquil
and calm.
lie died without one hope of the success of
the Southern Republic he had as to found
and govern; for which he had labored day
and night for twenty-five years to which he
had sacrificed .his people the Union of the
States, and the choseninstitutions of the
South—a broken-hearted man—" unwept, un
honored and unsung."

The thousands of stranger's 'Who filled the

cents invested. The officers of the society
acknowledge that such was the fact, and' many
of them are loud in their denunciations of
certain railroad companies whose delay and
procrastination are said to be the cause of the
many vacant stalls and stands which• were
painfully apparent to the wail-wiallers of the
organization.
A strange innovation was introduced at this
exhibition, which it is to be presumed and
hoped will never be witnessed again at a sifiU
lar entertainment. I refer to the ilitrodtio ,
tion within the enclosure of innumerableside
shows and drinking-bars, which were of no pe
cuniary benefit tothe society, whatever mone
tary advantage they might have been to the
owner of the ground. The superintendent,
General Williams, opposed the allotment of
space to these tents and booths without avail,
and every moral visitor was consequently dis
gusted and annoyed. Hundreds of the %leiter§
daily thronged the interior of the shows, while '
the number of .young men who reeled to .and
fro, a disgrace to themselves, and objects of
fear toctlie lady sight-seers, bore evidence- to
the profits the rum-sellers were deriving from.
the privileges granted. It only needed the
removal of the Weill -818th and Other gambling:
tables from the outside to conspicuous points .
within the gates to make the degradation and
insult more complete. Notwithstanding the
railroad delaya, and the consequent diminution
in the number of articles exhibited, there were
certainly many contributions which were de
serving of especial notice, and worthy the at
tention of the visitors. Some of these were to.
be seen in the mechanical department, other*. .
in the floral, a few in the horse and cattle.
stalls, and many in the building devoted to
perishable articles. To the ladies the latter
were probably more attractive, from the fact
that a majority of the contributions were pro
ducts of the skill and taste of members oi, o
tlieir own sex; but under the same roof were`
of nillner9TlS patterns, stoves an('
heaters of many sizes and shapes, iron rail
ings of curious designs, and what was of mor
interest to engineers,' founders and macht
ists than all else, the recently invent
"Ross Oil Cup," the simplicity of oonstruett,
of which, with its low price, have made a
manufacturer, Mr. B. E. Lehman, of Detc h
hem, so well known to the owners of marls,

stocks, though at a decline in thh prices of one or
two. A large quantity of one particular stock is
held by some of the Philadelphia banks as collateral,
who, in their anxiety to realize, press forWar4
their sales, even at a sacrifice. Big Mountain closed
at 834, New Creek at Clititon at 75, Swatara Falls
at 4, New York and Middle at kr, St Nicholas at 4,
and Feeder Dam at 116. The Oil stocks were Mode
rately active, and prices were a Shode off. The
recent advance of 4{l per barrel for crude oil at the

companies as are known to be producing. City
