n HE OFFERS TO BET.
"Mosee" in a New Bola and BUghtly Upset.
Wo have bcretofore refrained from pub
lishing the reports of the speeches made by
the President, for the simple reason that we
considered them unfit for the public eve
and in order to show the public at large that
we were not mistaken, we publish the one
delivered at Clovoland,' Ohio, s few days
since, where the following extraordinary
scenes were presented
The President spoke:
'1
Fellow citizens; , It is not for the purpose
of making a speech that I now appear before
you.. I am aware, of the great curiosity
which prevails to see strangers who have no
toriety, and distinction in all countries. I
knew a large number of you desire to see
General Graut, and to hear what he has to
say (a voice' 'Throe cheers for General
Grant"), but you cannot see him to-night.
He is extremely ilL I repeat, I am not be
fore you now to make a speech, but simply
to make your acquaintance, to say "How are
yout" aud to bid you good-by. ,.
I was going to say, my countrymen, a short
time since I was selected and placed upon
the ticket. There was a platform proclaimed
and adopted by those who placed me npon it.
jNotwiimttanuing the subsidized gang of
hirelings and traducers, I have discharged
all my duties and fulfilled all my pledges,
and I say hero to-night that if my predeces
sor had lived the vials of wrath would have
been poured out npon him. (Cries ofNever."
"Three cheers for the Congress of the United
States.1) I came here as I was passing along,
and have been called npon for the purpose
of exchanging views, and ascertaining, if we
could, who was Wrong. (Cries of "It's you.")
That was my object in appearing before you
to-mgbt, anil I want to say this, tnat 1 have
lived among the American people, end I
have represented them in some public capa
city for the last twenty-five years, and where
is tho man or woman who can place his fin
ger upon one single act of mine deviating
from any pledge of mine or in violation ol
the Constitution of the country, (Cheers.)
Who is ho t What language does be speak t
What religion does he profess t Who can
come and place his finger on one pledgo I
over violated, or ono principle I ever proved
mise to i (A voice "Ilow about .Now Or
leans?" Another voice-rr"nang Jeff. Davis.")
Hang JefF. Davis, lie says. ("Cries of "No,"
and "down with him.") Hang Jeff. Davis,
ho says. A voice "Hang Thad. Btevens and
Wendell Phillips.") Hang Jeff. Davis. Why
don't you hang himt (Cries of "Give us the
opportunity.") Havo you not got the court 1
Have you not got the Attorney General 1
(A voice "Whu is your Chief Justice who
has refused to sit upon the trial !" Cheers.)
I am not the Chief Justice. I am not the
prosecuting attorney. a (Cheers.) I am not
tho jury. . .
I will tell you what I did do. I called
upon Congress that is trying to break up the
Government (Cries, "You be ," snd
cheers mingled with hisses. Great confusion.
"Don't get mad, Andy.") Well, I will tell
you who is mad. "Whom the gods wish to
destroy, they first make mad." Did your
Congress order any of them to be tried I
(Three cheers for Congress.) Then, fellow
citizens, we might as well allay our passions
aim jieruiu reason to assume uer empire ana
prevail. (Cheers.) In presenting the few
renmks tuat I designed to make, my ipfcp
ticn was to address myself to your common
sense, your judgment, and your better feel
ing, pot to tue passion ana muiignancy in
ucarts. (Ulieer.) This was inv object in pre
senting myself on this occasion, and to tell
you t'ilow do yqu do," and at the same
time to Did you ''Wood-by." m mis assem
bly here to-night the remark has been made,
"Traftor, traitor." My countrymen, will you
hear me ? (Shouts of "Yes.") And will you
bear me Tor my cause aud for the Constitu
tion of my country f
I came here to-night with the flag of my
couutry and the Constitution of thirty-six
mates untarnisncd. Are you for dividing
this country 1 (Cries of "No.") Tbeo I am
President, and I am President of the whole
United States. (Cheers.) I will tell you one
other thing. I understand the discordant
notes in this orowd to-night. He who is op
posed to the restoration of this Government
and the re-union of the States is ss great a
traitor as Jeff. Davis or Wendell Phillips.
(Loud cheers.) ' I aw against both. (Cries
of "Give it to them.") Some of you talk
about traitors in the South who nave not
courage to getaway from your homes to fight
them. (Laughter snd cheers.) The cour
ageous men, Grant, Sherman; Farragut, and
the long list of the distinguished sons of the
Union, were in the field and led on their
gallant hosts to conquest snd to victory,
while you remained cowardly t home.
(Applause, "Bully.") Now, when these brave
men have returned home, many of whom
have left en arm or s leg, or their blood ap
on many s battle-field, they find you at home,
speculating and committing -frauds on the
Government. 1 (Laughter sad cheers.) ,
j You pretend bow te fcave great respect
and sympathy for the poor bravo fellow who
has left an arm oa the battle field. Crb"
this dignified?"), I understand yon; You
may talk about the dignity of the President.
(Griea ' How waa it about bis making a
speech upon the 234 of February t") I have
Uteri with you ia the battles of this country,
and I est) toll yon furthermore, to-slght, who
bavo to pay these brave men who shed their
blood. : Yon speculated, snd now the great
maes of the people have to work it out
(Cheers.) It ia time that tho great mass of
the people should . wadenUuad what' 'your
designs sre. What did General Butler sayt
(Hisses.) '. What did General Oraat asy.
(Cheers.) And what does PenerelQratiteay
about General Butler I (Laughter aud
cheers.) What does General bbermaa say I
(A voice "What doss General Sberidaa sayt)
General Sheridan ssys that hs is for tbs res
toration of the Government that Sheridan
fought for-' ("Bully l1 and renewed, cry of
"New Urissns." and confusion.)
The Presideot I care not for dignity.
These is a portioa of your countrymen who
will alwsvs respect their follow cituau when
they are entitled to respect, and there is a
portion of them who have no respect for
themselves, snd. eonseauenll. havs no re
spect for others. (A voics "Trsitor I") I
wish I could tes that man. I would bet jou
now that, if the light fell bn your face, cow-,
ardice and treachery would be seen In it.
Show yourself. Come out here, where I can
lee yon. (Shouts of laughter.) I stand now
where I stood when the rebellion commenced.
Who has sacrificed more for his country than
It Who has run greater risks! But the
factious, domineering and tyrannical party
in Congress haa undertaken to poison the
minds of the people against me. (Cheers.)
The President continued the strain of his
previous arguments upon the issues of the
coming contest, dwelling particularly upon
me nature oi tue rrceumcn's Hureau bill,
Wen. . Brldan at . tho . Haiti of
laclienter.
From "Personal Recollections of Hai-Oon
Sheridan," by an officer of his staff, we quote
.1 f-ii ; . . ... ...... .
uu luuuwmg story oi tue pattioot wincues
tor t At this juneture. Sheridan anuearcrl
on the field, having ridden up in hot haste
t XI' , . . r ,
uuiu tt mcuester. a icariui responsibility
suddonly devolved upon him ; for, with him
slone, rested the safety of thousands of pre
vious uvea, mo iate or ins array unci the an.
curity of the Federal Capitol and he was
eqnnt to me emergency:;" Making bis way
to Gee!1 Wright's headquarters, Tie cogorly
inquired after the situation, nnd' received
the desponding answer i:' "General, I fear
the battle is going against us." "Whatl"
exclaimed Sheridan, his face livid with in
dignation, "Early whip ray three corps of
mianiry ana my cavalry I no cant do it I
Before night we shall havo our Camps bhek
again, and Early will get the worst whipping
he ever bad.". "Sheridan has come!" leaped
from lip to lip along the Union lines, and,
no longer retreating, the wholo command
seemed inspired with confidence, as though;
by the advent of one man,victory was already
assured. '.
For two hours there was a lull in the con
flict, while the stragglers from the different
corps were returned to 'their commands.
Then Sheridan proceeded to carry into exe
cution the plans he had hastily formed.-
f irst, lie sent Uecerai Custar with bis divi
sion of cavalry to the extreme right, with
instructions to concentrate his attack upon'
a limited portion of the enemy's line-to vex,
harass, and distiess it until he should suc
ceed in creating a panic, when, upon s given
signal, Sheridan with the rest of his army
would cause this panic to communicate it
self slong the cnl ire length of the enemy's
lines. 1 bis plan, simple in its conception,
was successful beyond the expectation of the
commanding General himself. At 4 r. m.,
Custar having turned the enemy's left flank,
a charge was ordered along the whole lino.
It . seemed hardly credible that the men
who were so badly worsted in tho morning
were the same men who mode that magnifi
cent' charge in the afternoon. The Sixth
Corps sprung forward as if impelled from
the cannon's mouth, while tho other corps
vitas with it in imnctuositv. The enemv
opened on the charging party with fifty
pieces of srtillery, filling the air with flylug
missiles. With surprising precision shells
were thrown' into the sohil masses of Union
infantry, scattering limbs in every direction,
and lifting mangled corpses high in the sir.
The Federal batteries, llkewise,wcre not idle.
Along the crests of the hills on either side of
the road, and down the pike close upon the
uecis or tue mmutry, tney followed, encri
dan seeing one posted in an advantageous
position, turned to one of his staff, and said,
"Ride down to Cant, and tell him to fire
fatttr FASTftn." The message delivered, the
detonations were almost witiiout Interval.
Only once did our infantry falter, when
subjected to a scathing fire of musketry from
the enemy posted behind a stone wall. The
survivers pushed on, and, with the bayonet,
drove the opposing force from the walL The
enemy no longer made a stand. Their men,
alike indiffereut to tho threats and entreaties
of officers, sought, safety ou'y in flight. A
miserable rabble, they plunged iuto the
stream, and crossing, hurried on through
Straaburg toward the mountains, with Sheri
dan's troopers close upon them. Over forty
guns, together with a large uumbcr of army
wagons abandoned on the road and in the
town, fell into the hands of tho cavalry.
Devin's Brigade, having the advauce, was
occupied uutil midnight in securing these
trophies. An officer of the brigade, fearing
a recapture, rode back to Sheridan's head
quarters, when the following dialogue en
sued :
"General. I have come bock to ask for a
brigade of infantry, to help hold thoartillcry
already captured, of which I think we have
at least twenty-five pieces." i
"I don t believe it," said bbenUan. nut
yet realizing the full extent of the victory.
"Who are you V
"Captain JJ , of the ...Dragoons.
General, I believe we have oyer forty pieces.''
"Captain, you shall have two brigades of
infantry. - -
When Custar came back, soon after, to re
port his wouderful success, Sheridan caught
him in his arms, embraced him, and then
wrestled with him with all the playfuhncss
of a child.

people ; but jt is strikiugly apparent from
the result of the late elections in Maine that
the popular mind is controlled by larger
3uestiout, against which the sayings and
oings of this or that fanatical politician go
for nothing. That great body of American
Deonle to which, we are indebted for the
suppression of the most formidable rebellion
In ine bistory pi mansion, are eviueuuy uo,
tenninfd to have subetsntial securities for
the futare before they pronouuoe the good
work of the restoratiuu of the Union oim-
nleU that, in short. Southern reconstruc
tion shall rest upon the solid foundation of
the Jadersl couaUtutigiU. regardless . of the
disturbing (qrces of. radicals, copperheads,
rebsla, ruffians or fanatics, North of Sooth.
From the elections which have occurred
since the- ponaUtutwnaLr amendment was
adopted by Congress for the reconstruction
of the Southern states, we sre satisfied that
that amendment is to become the basis of
Boothem restoration that it will carry and
be carried by all the Northern Slate elec
tions yet to come, and that, with New Jer
sey leading off, it will be ratified by them
all and become part and parcel ot - the su
preme law of the land. Nor have we any
fear of coutquencea. There is nothing,
after all, so very objectionable in this amend
ment nothing which President - Johnsoa
himself has not, st one time or another,
recommended to some Southern State or to
Congress, mud nothing upon whioh there
should have been a disagreement between
the President and Congress. ' .
This . amendment is the reconstruction
plan And platform of Congress, and there is
no good reason, we ssy, why it should not
have been adopted also by the . President,
inasmuch as he stands committed in some
shapo to all Its provisions. It is not the
platform of Tbnddeus Stevens, Sumner, or
any other of the noisy radicals of Congress.
They , can do nothing. It was adopted
against their remonstrances and ia spite of
tbeir threats, it embodies substantially, in
tact, the President a original programme,
and if carried in these coming October snd
November elections aa we predict it will
be, from Massachusetts and New York west,
ward wc trust that the administration, iu
deference to the will of the pcoplo, will come
back to it. Why not t Surely this amendment
engrafted upon the constitution will be
amply sufficient for the restoration of the
Union, internal peace, sectional harmony
Bnd the scourity of. the government and the
Treasury i for.. many, generations to come,
against all disturbing factions of either sec
tion. . Parson Brownlow, in leading off with
the State of Tennessee for the ratification,
has shown that a good thing may bo done
by a bad man and for a bad motive ; but
that Tennessee should thug lead off for this
amendment is a very romarkablo and signifi
cant fact that New Jersey should .next
follow is almost as strauge but from good
or bad designs, thus started, the amendment
will surely go through. '
The President s quarrei ana rupture with
Cougress . was an unfortunate mistake.
From recent events, South and North, it is
clear that it will prove a fatal blunder to
his administration, uuless ho sbandons it as
the issue before the people.. The old con
tests in England between King and Parlia
ment are full of instruction on this subject.
Had Mr. Johnson taken our friendly advice.
and made the distinguishing features of bis
administration a vigorous foreign policy
and a sound finaucial system, he might ere
this have become as popular a President
as Andrew Jackson. He Los yet a fair field
before him in which to retrieve his mis-
fortunes. Let him begin de nova, by a re
construction of his Cabinet, beginning with

The Boston Tranurivt says that a letter
just received from Kov,' K. C. Watersoo,
dated Madison, Wisconsin, contains tho bil
lowing account of a veteran of the 8th Wis
consin regiment: "'
The veteran ot the eth iscocstn is a
white-headed eagle, taken from the nest iu
the northern part of Wisconsin by a Chip
pewa Iudian at the beginning of the war.
From a little fledgling he soon became a
magnificient bird, and seemed animated by;
a national enthusiasm. Adopted by the 8th
Wisconsin Veteran Volunteers be became
the pet of the regiment.'
Une man was delegated to take care oi
him and act as the stundard-bearer, having
his place by tho flag, his perch being cut in
the shape of a shield, and painted with the
stars and stripes. He seemed proud of his
position, and often blanched himself with
expanded wings, a living national emblem.
His eve would Basil, Ills leathers quiver, as
if he held in his talons the forked lightnings.
The soldiers on catching sight of the bird,
would kindle with fresh fervor, and often
broke forth into cheers; and when they
marched through the oity, the englo, borue
alott, excited the whole population.
The bird seemed to share in the excite
ment of the battle, and was iu seventeen
engagements, lie was at the taking of
Vicksburg, at Little near urceK, ana in
many of the fiercest contents. The rebels
called him "Owl" and "Yankee Buzzard,"
and hated him. One commander declared
that he would rather capture that bird than
the wholo brigado. Once a bullet rullled
bis feathers, but left him unharmed. He
fought through the war, and came home in
safety yes, in triumph, and seemed to re
joice in the knowledge that tho old flng was

J SJoadeuBcd lllatory of Steam. '
About 280 years B. C, Hero, of Alexan
dria, formed a toy which exhibited' some
of the powers of steam, and was moved by
its power. ' '. " i
A. D. 540 ; Antheminus, an architect, ar
ranged several caldrons of water, each cover-
e I with the bottom of a leather tube, winch
rose to a narrow ton, with pines extended
to the rafters of the adjoining building. ; A
firo was kindled beneath the caldron, and
the hous3 was shaken with the efforts of the
steam ascending tho tubes.. 'This is the .first
uuuue oi me power or steam recorded.
' In 1543, June 17, Brssco do Garay tried a
steamboat of 200 tons, with tolerable suc
cess, at Barcelona, Spain. It consisted of a
caldron of boiling water, and a movable
wheel on each sido of the ship. It was laid
aside as impracticable. A present, however,
waa mane 10 uoray.
. In 1650, the first railroad was constructed
at Newcastle-on-the-Tync.
The first idea of a steam engine in Eng
land was in the Marquis or Worcester's
"History of Invention," A. D. 1663. i
In 1G01, Newcrmaq made the first steam
engine in England. , . .
In 1718 patents were granted to Savary
for the first application of the steam engine.
' In 1704, James Watt made the first per
fect steam engine in England.
, In 1760, Jonathan Hulls first set forth the
idea of steam navigation.
" 1778, Thomas Payne first proposed the
application in America. ' . i
In 1781, Marquis Jouffary constructed a
steamboat on the Baone.
t In 1785 two Americans published a work
on it. - i ' .
' In . 1789, William Smythington made a
voyage in one, on the Forth aud Clyde ca
nal. ' In 1803 this experiment was repeated.
In 1783, Ramsay propelled a bout by steam
in New York: .
In 1780, John Fitch, of Connecticut,
navigated a boat by a steam engine on the
Delaware.
In 1784, Robort Fulton first began' to ap
ply his attention to steam. '
In 1783. Oliver Evans, a native of Phila
delphia, constructed a steam engine to travel
on r turnpike road.
I ho first steam vessel that ever crossed
tho Atlantic was tho Savannah, in the month
of June, 1810, from Charleston to Liver

.The fashions are always an interesting
subject to young ladies yes, and even, to
those who have passed tho "hey-day of
youth," and are ptodding down the vale of
tears with tottering footsteps and shrunken
form. : In fact, woman in the dcclino of her
beauty evinces an increased desire to aid uur
present appearance by the devices of fashion.
There the full rounded form which nature
had given her in youth is kept in seeming
4-epair by a caret ui systematic padding.
tier ivory molars are replaced by porcelain,
the damask tinge of her check vytinrgede
rouge. Tho raven blackness of her hair by
Christadora's hair dye, and the symmetry of
her pedals by horse hair. We have no
objection to urge against all this. It is all
eminently proper. '
As women are originally the prettied, it
is uothing but natural for them to keep up
the deception as long as possible, and force
poor male bipeds to admire them even it
they are, like the stuffed forms in a show
window, the work of the dress-maker and
milliner. In order to assist our lady res , lers,
wo append a list of the fashions for Septem
ber. The bonnets Will be more in vogue this
full, taking in a great measure tho place of
the hats now worn. The turban of the var
ious shaped will, however, still be in favor
with the votaries of fashion,
The Lamballo or Celestial is still regarded
aa fashionable by tho demi monde, when con
structed of pointed chips trimmed with
white ribbons, loug green leaves, and a
large white or red rose-bud at the back.
A bonnet of white crape, trimmed with
pipings of blue satin and dotted with large
pearl beads, the crown being flat aud round,
resembling a snail shell, promises to be the
fall favorite. This bonnet is much larger
than those worn last year, aud we are of the
opinion that the smalt shaped are already
doomed. This is a matter of taste, however,
snd people will be disposed to wa.it and see
what is going to be tho real style before
purchasing. For tho streets, of Course, high
necked dresses will bo still the rs.ge, wr.h
moderately tight sleeves snd the usual long
trail. Giay aud a light color of drab wil bp
the prevailiug oolors. We have seen a very
pretty trimming for dresses, consisting ef
four rows of velvet near tho bottom and run
ning up the fromt in a bias for forming a
point midway between the waist and bottom
of the skirt. For out-door wrappings shawls
v.iil be much worn, but a new mantle, which
is known as the "Pall Mall," will doubtless
bo in favor. This pretty and elegant mantle
is in ado of black grus grain silk. It i full
behind, and crossing over iu front on the
right side where it is secured by apaascmeu
terio clasp, from which dpponda two long
silk tassels, The fronts are slightly curved
st the bottom, forming two separate points,
each terminated by a large tassel. The
whole garment ia entirely trimmed with a
rich passeroetric, edged by a row of small
grelota. The seams uudor the anus are cov
ered with appliqued iiasaementrie, finished
off withaimn fringe,.. The 'sleeve is very
small at the bottom,, sed bus a seats at the
elbow covered by the trimming, which forms
a cuff at the wrist. The epaulotta is com-
posec ot appliqued paasamonteric. with KWVP
fringed to matvh.the side-piece, Altogether
the garment is verv beautiful, snd ss we said
before, will doubtless bs very popular. The
ladies will be rejoiced to learn tnat areas
goods shows a tendency to decline ia prices.

.:fJ?K FOR UY1(m,
If a lady's horse be addicted to shying, I
will give her a sure and simple euro for the
same, ope which I have never known to fail.
Let us, for on instance, suppose tue exis
tence of a heap of stones pn the near sido of
the road. The horse sees aa indistinct gray
object, and prepares to shy at it. The mo
ment he shows such symptoms let' bis fair
ridpr turn both, he; eye oti exactly the oppo
site side of the road, and look steadily away
from the offending heap, and I engage' that
the horse will walk steadily by. ' For many
years I have ridden horses of all tempers
snd dispositions, some of them, much, given
tq shying, and have never yer fouqd this
simple remedy to fail iq its eflecf. tt those
who scoff st me try It' The reason Is this :
The human eye has, doubtless, a great in
fluence op all animals, and there is a strong
aud secret sympathy between the' horse and
his rider, 'fhe bo sees aq jndiatluet ob
ject, and looks doubtfully at it ; his rider
becomes alarmed, imagining that the animal
is going to commit some eccentricity ; the
fear ia communicated to tho animal, and be
starts iq terror froiq the object wb'ch haa
frightened him ; whereas, if he fluils that
his rider sits unmoved and unconcernedly,
he regains bis confidence, and goes on "in
the eveoienorof bis way." I believe that
one-bftlfof our horses are ruined fqr life by
being "hit over the bead" by grooips to cure
them ofshyn'g. Horie-Taming. . "
