GRANT AND COLFAX. THE LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE. In the brief speech which Gen. Grant made to the Committee that was appoint ed by the National llepublican Conven tion to wait upon the candidates and tender the nomination, the General inti mated that on a future day he would communicate his views. He has done so in the follow in GEN. GRANT S LETTER. To Gen. JosEm R. Hawley, President National Union Rcptublican Conven tion. In formally accepting the nomination of the National Union Republican Con vention of the 21st of May inst., it seems proper that some statement of views be yond the mere acceptance of the nomina tion should be expressed. The proceed ings of the Convention were marked with wisdom, moderation, and patriotism, and I believe express the feelings of the great mass of those who sustained the couutry through its recent trials. I indorse the resolutions. If elected to the office of President of the United States, it will be my endeavor to administer all the laws in good faith, with economy, and with the view of giving peace, quiet, and protec tion everywhere. In times like the pre sent it is impossible? or at least eminently improper, to lay down a policy to be ad hered to, right or wrong, through an ad ministration of four years. New politi cal issues, not ' foreeen, are constantly arising; the views of the public on old ones are constantly changing, and a purely administrative officer should be left free to execute the will of the people. I al ways have respected that will, and always shall.. Peace and universal prosperity its sequence with economy of ad ministration will lighten the burden of taxation, while it constantly reduces the National debt. Let us have peace. n ith great respect, Your obedient servant, U. S. Grant. Washington, D. C, May 29, 1SG8. The following is the reply of Speaker Colfax to the Committee announcing his nomination by the Chicago Convention: SPEAKER COLFAX'S LETTER. lion. J. 11. II A WLEY, President oj the National Union Republican ' Conven tion. Dear Sin : The platform adopted by the patriotic Convention over which ycu presided, ond the resolutions which so happily supplement it, so entirely agree with my views as to a just national policy that my thanks arc due to the Delegates as much for this clear and auspicious de claration of principles as for the nomina tion with which I have been honored, and which I gratefully accept. When a great Rebellion, which imperiled the na tional existence, was at last overthrown, the duty of all ojjiers, devolving on those intrusted with the responsibilities of leg islation, evidently was to require that the revolted States should be re-admitted to participate in the Government against which they had erred only on such a ba sis as to increase and fortify, not to weak en or endanger, the strength and .power of the nation. Certainly no one ought to have claimed that they should be re admitted under such rule that their or ganization as States could ever again be used, as at the opening of the war, to de fy the national authority or to destroy the national unity. This principle has been the pole-star of those who have in flexibly insisted on the Congressional policy, your Convention so cordially in dorsed. Raffled by Executive opposition, and by persistent refusals to accept any plan of reconstruction proffered by Con gress, justice and public safety at last combined to teach us that only by au en largement of suffrage in those States could the desired end be obtained, and that it was even more safe to give the ballot to those who loved the Union than to those who had sought ineffectu ally to destroy it. The assured success of this legislation is being written on the adamant of history, and will be our tri uphant vindication. More clearly, too, than ever before, docs the nation now re cognize that the greatest glory of a re public is that it throws the shield of its protection over the humblest and weakest of its people, and vindicates the rights of the poor and the powerless as faithfully as those of the rich and powerful. I re joice, too, in this connection, to find in your platform the frank and fearless avowal that naturalized citizens must be protected abroad at every hazard, as tho' they were native-born. Our whole pco gle arc foreigners, or descendants of for eigners; our fathers established by arms their right to be called a. nation. It re mains for us ' to establish the right to welcome to our shores all who are willing, by oaths of allegiance, to become Ameri can , citizens. Perpetual allegiance, as claimed abroad, is only another name for perpetual bondage, and would mako all slaves to the soil where first they saw the liht. Our National cemeteries prove how faithfully these oaths of fidelity to their adopted laud have been scaled in the life blood of thousands , upon thou sands. Should we Dot, then, be faithless to the dead , if wc did not protect their living brethren in the full enjoyment of that nationality for which, side by side, with the native born, our soldiers of for eign births laid down their lives. It was fittiui; too, 1liat the ' representatives of a party which had proved so true to na tional duty in time of war, should speak so clearly in time of peace for the main tenance uatarnished of the national hon or, national credit and good faith as re gards its debt, the cost of national exist ence. I do not need to extend this reply by further comment on a platform which has elicited such hearty approval through out the land. The debt of gratitude it acknowledges to the brave men who saved the Union from destruction, the frank approval of amnesty based on repentance and loyalty, the demand for the most thorough economy and honesty in tho Government, the sympathy of the party of liberty with all throughout the world who longed for the liberty we enjoy, and the recognition of the sublime principles of the Declaration of Independence, and worthy of the ' organization, on whose banners they , are to be written in tho coming contest. Its past rocord cannot be blottcH out or forgotten. If there had been no Republican party, Slavery would to-day cast its baleful shadow over the re public. If there had been no Republican party, a free press, and free speech would be as unknown from the Potomac to the Rio Grande as ten years ago. If the Republican party could have been strick en from existence when tho banner of Rebellion was unfurled, and when the response of 11 No Coercion " was heard at the North, wc would have had no nation to-day. Rut for the Republican party daring to risk the odium of tax, and draft laws, our flag could not have been "kept flying in the field until the long-hoped for victory came. Without a Republican party the Civil Rights bill the guaran tee of equality under the law to the hum ble, and the defenseless, as well as to the strong would not be to-day upon our National Statute book. With such inspi ration from the rjast, and following the example of the founders of the Republic, who called the victorious General of the Revolution to' preside over the land his triumphs had saved from its enemies, I cannot doubt that our labors will be crowned with success; and it will be a success that shall bring restored hope, confidence, prosperity, and progress South as well as North, West as well as East, and above all, the blessings under Provi dence of National concord and peace. Very truly yours, Sciiuyler Colfax. POWDER EXPLOSION. SMITH AND UAN1'S NEWBURG MILLS BLOWN UP. A Ncwburg letter of the 3rd says : At exactly G o'clock this morning, the grain ing mill blew up, the fire shooting with great violence across the dam to the glaz ing mill, aud in five seconds thereafter that was also blown to fragments. The foundation of tho graining mill was scooped out as though with a shovel. Huge sticks of timber were thrown thro' the air for a quarter of a mile, small trees were uprooted, and hurled a long distance, while larger and older trees were entirely stripped of 1c aves and branches, and their trunks blackened and charred. At the foot of trees numbers of dead birds were found, having been killed by the shock, and an iron shaft, four inches in diame ter, 75 feet long, was bent almost double, while a portion 15 feet long was broken off and hurled over -100 yards. For more than a quarter of a mile the" ground is strewn with the debris. Huge timbers, blackened and splintered with. powder, heavy and long limb3 of trees, and in many instances whole trees, ragged and torn, block the paths and road3 leading to the spot. A storage building distant 150 yards fronr the graining mill, was badly shattered. It contained three tons of powder, which did not ignite. . . At the time of the occurrence there was only one man in the graining mill and none in the others. His name was Adam Schosser, a German. He had been in Messrs. Smith & Rand's service for several years, and was considered perfectly trustworthy. lie had often as serted that he knew his business too well to be blown up. He was un doubtedly blown high in the air, some suppose 1,000 fect. His head and shoul ders were found at a distance of 500 yards from the spot where tho explosion occurred, mangled and torn beyond re cognition. An arm was found lodged in the crotch of a tree, while for a distance of a quarter of a mile pieces of flesh and bone and parts of bis limbs were found strewn along the grouud and hanging to limbs of trees. All the parts found were collected and placed in a barrel. The shock in Ncwburgh was terrific. Houses were shakeno their foundations and in many places windows were shat tered. Standing i in one of tho streets and looking toward the spot where tho explosion occurred, a huge column of smoke and dust was seen to ehoot up ward fully 1,000 fect into the beavcii3. A vast ring of smoke whirled far up and gradually widening in area. Had the explosion occurred ono hour later, tho loss of life would have been fearful, as at 7 A.M. the. 20 men employed at tho works commence labor. , The quantity of powder burned was five tons. The mills arc situated about four miles south of Ncwburgh, on tho road leading to Waldeii, Orange county. e- - "Burleigh," of thjlioston Journal says that six cents' worth of green paint in powder used about any house will "clear the kitchen" and all its surrouudiugs of roaches aud kindred pest. JAMES BUCHANAN. Special Despatch to the Inquirer, Lancaster, J une 4. The mortal re mains of James Buchanan, ex-President of the United States, were consigned to tho grave at four o'clock this afternoon, from tho late residence of the departed statesman, at Wheatland, about a mile from Lancaster, on the Marietta pike. Tho funeral possession was very large aud of the most imposing character, and the religious services wero . remarkably solemn and impressive.. It being publicly announced that tho citizens at large would be afforded a last look at the remains of the deceased, be tween the hours of twelve M. and thrco P. M., the town clock at Lancaster had scarcely finished striking twelve, before a stream of people, of all ages and sexes, could be seen winding their way over the Marietta pike, to Wheatland; and the different routes from tho interior leading to the locality mentioned, were alive with vehicles and pedestrians, all the travelers having a common object in view, trying to obtain a last look at the features of the dead ex-President. The remains of Jamc3 Buchanan were placed in a large, square mctalic casket, lined with white satin. The shroud con sisted of a beautifully wrought white satin robe, very gracefully arranged. A large, white collar and white linen hand kerchief adorned the neck of the de ceased, and around the body was a white satin scarf. The face presented a remarkably natu ral appearance. It exhibited no traces of disease or suffering, but was full and fair, and even tinged with color. It appeared as though the deceased was enjoying a calm, sweet sleep. A LAST INTERVIEW WITH TIIE EX-rRESI-DENT. A few days since Mr. Buchanan had an interview with his attorney, II. B. Swarr, Rsq. Mr. Buchanan stated to him that he knew his end was approach ing, and he directed his remains to be placed in the lots ho had purchased for that purpose in -the "Woodward Hill Cemetery," without any pomp or parade, and that the religious services of the occa sion should be performed by hi3 friend and neighbor, Rev. John W. Nevin. Knowing him to be a member of the Masonic Order, and that it is usual for that order to attend the funeral of its members, Mr. Swarr asked him whether, if the Masonic and other societies, with the city authorities, desired to participate in the ceremonies, if it would be agreeable to him to have them do so? He said: " Certainly, if it is their pleasure, and they arc not moved to it by solicitation. I have a high regard for the Masonic Or der, although for years not a working member, and the Mayor and Councils of Lancaster have, in my life time, manifest ed kindly regards for me." He desired his lota in the cemetery to be placed in good order, but wanted no large or expensive monument to be erect ed over his remains. He requested that there should be a simple, but substantial oblong tomb erected, the cap-stone to be the finest and most durable marble, on which he specially requested should be cut, in Roman letters, the following in scription, and nothing more : HERE REST TIIE REMAINS OF JAMES BUCHANAN Fifteenth President of the United State. . Born in Franklin Count v, Pennsylvania, April 23,1791. Died at his residence at Wheatland, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, On . Fossil Ivery. Among the resources of our new terri tory of Alaska, its richness in fossil ivory is not the least in importance. Several localities arc known to abound in this substance the tusks of the mammoth, or hairy fossil elephant. The ivory of which these are composed is of fine qual ity, and for many purposes, equal, if not superior, to that of the living elephants. This substance is, however, better known as a product of Siberia, whero trade in it has been carried on for huudrcds of years. The tusks obtaiucd weigh from 100 to 150 pounds, becoming smaller to the northward but increasing in number at the same time, so as to excite the pro foundest astonishment. The surfaco of the ground of one of the Lachow Islands is said to the completely covered with mammoth bones. Tusks have been brought thence for hundreds of years, without apparently reducing the supply in the least. About 40,000 pounds are collected annually in the new Siberia, rc presenting at least 300 mammoths, so that in tho 200 years of trade with that coun try the tusks of 00,000 animals must havo been collected. Somo of the tusks arc so large ns to render it impossible to ro niovc them except in pieces. They arc found lying cither on the surface of the ground or bcucath it, sometimes buried in tho bogs, or heaped up along the mouths of livers, covered with sand, or frozen in the cliffs by sea. Kutire skeletons occur, sometimes singly, at others aggregated, as .if an cntiro herd had been suddenly destroyed. The country, in many places, is said to rescmblo, with its scattered, un- buricd skeletons and bones, a vast buttlo- field. The German journals state that tho number of emigrants who arc leaving tho Province of Posnauia, in tho District of Brombcrg, especially, for tho United States, was never so great as at the pre sent moment. Several localities arc li teral' v deserted. Terrible Hail Storm in Texas. The San Antonio Express, of May 21, gives the following particulars of the late disastrous hail storm: r- Our city is a perfect wreck ; every house in it has re ceived some damage; many are in com plete rums, with nothing but fragments of walls standing. The hail stones pene trated the best roofs, going through the roofs like cannon balls. All the windows facing north have been smashed in j i , uvuu wiuuow snuitcrs ana doors were broken down. The appearance of the city could not have been worse under a severe bombardment. Trees are stripped of their leaves and branches, which lie piled up in the yards and streets -.the sides of houses exposed to the hail have the appearance of having withstood a thousand discharges of grape and canister. The roofing of the entire city i3 perforated like a sieve. The hail stones were of irregular shape and all sizes, as if a mass of ice had broken above our devoted heads and driven by a tor nado to the earth. One hailstone was found weighing over five pounds, while a great many as large as a man's fist were picked up. Many of the families whose houses were beaten down took shelter under beds and tables, and thus escaped bodily harm. We have only heard of one death, a ne gro boy; several had limbs broken and were severely bruised, while the whole population was almost frightened to death. The damage is of every character, and ?500,000 will not cover it all; roofs were universally destroyed and windows broken in,' household furniture was entirely de- monsneu in some nouses, and in stores the damage was great. The many The per House was greatly damaged. Klcapper House is almost a wreck. Convent buildings are terrible cut All the blinds and window class on up. the northern side are destroyed. Frenche's building suffered greatly, and, in fact, all buildings having windows to the north. General Mason's residence was unroofed and his family exposecTto the inclement storm. But the most distressing picture of all are the habitations of the poor peo ple, their houses battered in, household goods destroyed, and their little gardens ruined. The com patches and gardens arc flattened to the ground, and have the appearance of having passed through a chopping mill. All the fruit crop is de stroyed. The storm resembled a terrible battle, the lightning flashing in fearful vividuess, the thunder crashing like a thousand can non and the hail falling like shot; so fearful was the noise that no one could hear unless they screamed in each other's cars. Never iu the history of this city, never in the memory of the oldest inhab itant, was just such a storm experienced. H e learn that the hail storm com menced eight miles this side of New Braunfcls, reached only a short distance below our city, and extended from five to twenty-five miles in width, destroying every tnmg over a region thirty miles from north to south and miles from cast to west. ten to twenty L 0. 0.

The Pittsburg Post comments as fol lows upon the annual session of the Grand Lodgo of Odd 1 cllows; which was lately held in that city : Ihe marked and distinguish attcntiou of the Brotherhood in Pittsbunr. and in fact Allegheny county, is acknowledged by all the Grand Officers and members of the Grand Lodge, who have shown their appreciation of the kinkness and hospi- thty extended in various ways. The in fluence which the session in our midst and the deportment of the visitors from abroad, will exert in this portion of the great jurisdiction of Peunaylvania will be incalculable, and will have its full fiscal effects upon the city and its surroundings lor periods yet to come. Ihe report of the order exhibit a euc- ccss unparalleled in its history, there be ing no less than sixty-six thousand mem bers in this State, while thcro are over two hundred thousand in the Uni ted States. To these now can be added the lodges in tho Canadas and tho Sand wich Islands. Recent information from Australia has demonstrated the' fact that the large Brotherhood from that remote regions numbering some five thousand members, desire to affiliato aud be admit ted under tho jurisdiction of the Grand Lodgo of the United States.

Rats-now to Fix Thorn. Chlorida of lime-has frequently proved a sure thing to drive rats from any place infected by them. An exchango says : -An ounce of it ' scattered in the pUco whero thoy come to feed, or wrapped in a bit of muslin and rut in their holes, where it acquires dampness, produco u gas thtit is not offensive to man, but is to rats.

Tho following statement Is based on iny formation furnished by the statisticaf division of the Department of Agricul ture : Rarely are winters so favorable to fall sown wheat as that of 18G7-GS. The NW England States arc encouraged at attempt wheat culture mors largely by the fi.no condition of that now in the ground.' The season was equally favorable in the Middle States, which report few discourag ing facts affecting winter crops. In Liv ingston county, New York, the sowing was later than usual on account of drought, causing a comparatively puny appearance at tho opening of spring. Ia Erie the fields had a yellow and unpromis ing look, without material loss from winter-killing, and in Chautauqua there in eence complaint of freezing out and sickly appearance. Throughout New Jersey, Pennsylva nia, and Delaware there is a general ex pression of satisfaction with the condition of wheat, and a confident expectation of a fruitful harvest, if no casualty, inter venes. In tho Ohio Valley and in the North west wheat generally looks well. A few exceptions are noted, as in Miami, Ohio, "it is not looking very well." In Hard in it. was somewhat frozen, while tho re ports from most Ohio counties are quier favorable, as ia Ottawa, "there never was a more favorable winter." In Erie "it it small but promising," and in Van Wert "March passed without a day detrimco- uu to tne errowinir crops. growing Of West irsrraia. Putnam and Wood counties some report inferior condition from winter killing. Others claim a better stand than for many years." From Indiana the accounts of the crop are uniformly favorable "far better than usual." Better than last year. In som cases better than for many years. Whila in Miami late sown wheat is thin, tha early looks well. In Kentucky there is much diversity in the appearance, as in Anderson, But ler, Henry, Laurel, Scott, and other coun ties. It is noticed that in Livingston? the fields with a northern and eastern as pect than those lying to the south and west. Many fields in Henary have beca plowed and sown in bats. In Illinois, and especially in the North west, the crop i3 mainly spring wheat, but the fall-sown generally looks well ia all that region. Very little loss from Missouri. It shar ed with other States in that latitude tba drawback of drought, in preventing early sowing, yet in many counties the returns were never better or more promssing. From Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, the condition reported is more, variable. More or less winter-killing re sulted in the belt between the thirty-sixth and thirty-ninth degrees of latitude front alternate freezing and thawing, the cover ing, of snow being inore general than us ual, but not of sufficient depth for pro tection. A few counties only make the loss severe, and many represent the pro spect for harvest unusually good. With every day of fine weather the frozen fields improve in appearance,- materially affecting the expectations of their own ers. Further South, accounts favor an abundant harvest in proportion to acreage, sown. , . It is worthy of mention and careful notice that in every locality that has suf fered from freezing those fields that wercr planted with the drill are comparatively unscathed, while the broadcast sowing is in miserable condition ; and it is also found that thorough tillage enables tho; thrifty and well rooted plant to endure the action of frost, while the careless seed ed wheat is ruined. A strancrc scene occurred on the farm of Mr. John McLean, Bruce township N. Y. Thrco men wero at work ia a field when they observed two eagles one- tho wing, appaicntly fighting. Thcr alighted on the ground near by. Joseph Uraham made lor tne scene or action, and boldly threw himself upon tho feathered combatants, seizing hold of one in each, band. 1 hey then quit fighting and turn ed on their captor. One seized him bv the toe of his boot, tho other took firm hold of his pants and smock, as ho was iu a stooping posture. Graham thinking this more thin good fun, cried lustily for help. , August McLean speedily came to the rescue. . While removing the talon3 of one them from Graham's clothes, tho oth er turned upon McLean and buried his claw in his arm. However, both eagles were secured and are now in ono cage, restored to peace and harmony. The fe male measures six fect seven inches from tip to tip. Tho male, which is larger, spreads at least seven feet. . ; There is a young Prussian violinist who executes difficult compositions with out arms, of which members the artist is utterly deprived by nature.
