A great fire occurred in New York on Thursday afternoon, resulting in the destruc tion of Baruuui's Museum and a number of adjoining buildings.-" Nothing but the glass ngine in the Museum was saved. Six buildings on Broadway, eight on Ann street and five on Fulton street were destroyed. The loss is estimated at 1 ,000,000. This is the second of Barnum's museums which has been destroyed by fire, the other being in Philadelphia. The work of confiscating the property of wealthy rebels was inaugurated in Richmond on Monday the lOib much to the conster nation of the people of that city, by the seizure of the famous Tredegar iron works by government agents. Descriptions of a large auioubi of other property liable to confiscation have been taken, and tenents thereof notified to pay no more rent to the rebel proprietors. The Government has sent aa officer to An dersonville, Georgia, to make a special in vestigation inf the brutal and inhuman treatment of the; Union prisoners during the war, with the iew of bringing to trial, be fore a military commission, the rebels who had charge of our soldiers when the barbar ous treatment was practiced. Some of the guilty parties are already in the custody of the government. A correspondent, who has recently been through Northern" Alabama, states that that region is almost one continuous cotton field. The planters have given their attention to the business agi-in this year almost as much as in ante-rebell i-Mij times, and the growing crop looks very ii:io. The negroes are work ing for their former masters fur wages, and the new labor t-y-u-ai appears to progress -exceedingly v.elL About the only thing the Detroit Com-1 mercial Convention did, without qualifica tion, delay or debaf e, was to adopt the dec laration in favor of protecting American .capital and labor against foreign competi tion, and that this policy has become ne cessary to ina:ntain the national credit. In whatever else the convention failed it did not in t hi ?. The trial of Miss Harris, charged with the murder of Burrough. the Treasury clerk, is closed. The counsel ol Mis II. made a big effort to obtain her acquittal on the ground of insanity,' with little prospect of success. There is much sympathy mani fested for the unfortunate girl. The deci sion of the Jury is not yet known. The report that Jeff. Davis & Co. would be tried by a military commission does not seem to be without confirmation. It is said, on good authority, that at least one of the members of the former court has received an order assigning him as one of the new commission. There were seventy pardons granted by the President on the TJth, ti persons com ing under the $20,000 exception. Seventy five petitions were filed, but included in them are no persons of notoriety. The returns to the office of Internal Rev enue, at Washington, show that nine and a half millions of dollars have beca received in that Bureau during the first twelve days in July a great increase. The income ol one pork packer in Sf. Louis is $471, OuO, and of a firm in the same business in the same eity, $700,000. This beats petroleum. Everything th t touches grease seems to thrive. Hon. Henry Winter Davis, of Balti more, in his address on the 4th of July at Chicago, declared himself in favor of Negro suffrage and an enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. The old Virginia State debts are now in process of liquidation, and it is said that the holders of them will not realize over twenty cents on the dollar. Henry A. Wise made application to the military authorities for a restoration of his former estate, near Norfolk, with rather a poor prospect of success. The Chronicle denies that Secretary Stan ton's health is poor, or that he intends to resign, and adds that the President does not desire him to go. A gentleman just from Fortress Monroe reports the health of Jeff Davis much bet ter than it has been at any time during his incarceration. In a very short time there will be no troops in the vicinity of Washington but the bare garrison of the city. Over half a million of property has been sold ia St. Mary's county, Maryland, to - Northern settlers. The subscriptions to the Seven-thirty loan on Saturday," July 15th," amounted to.flO,- 331,200. . John Morriseyi Knight of the Pi ke Ring, rprti an :n.jae f $0,700 Jait year. The Mormons. We may expect to hear of war shortly, in the vicinity of Salt Lake city. The Mor mons have not only refused to .pay their quota of taxes,!but they never have contrib uted a dollar towards the support of the Na tional Government, nor have they up to this date, paid a penny for the lands which they occupy. In view of these facts, the Gov ernment has resolved to enforce not only the revenue laws in that portion of its do mains, but it is determined that the Mor mons shall pay for the lands they have appro priated to their own use. Left to them selves so long, and having waxed in inso lence as well as iniquity, the Mormons im magine tint they will be "let alone" to do as they please, not only with their plurality of wives, but with Uncle Sam's property in the shape of his broad acres. In this tt e debauchees will find themselves mistaken. As we have already stated, the Govern ment is determined to enforce it authori ty in Utah Territory, thore to collect its dues and rigorously trather its resources. Of course the effort to do these just acts, will provoke a struggle, but it will be short, sharp, and decisive. The natioi al authori ty must be obeyed everywhere within, as it is now respected everywhere with out the national boundaries. The Difference. The fact, reported in our exchanges, that while Jeffeiison Davis is awaiting in Fort ress Monroe the final judgment of the au thorities of the nation he aided to destroy, the s-Iaves on his fine plantation of two thousand acres in Mississippi are wisely im proving the opportunities freedom has given them, by cultivating with profit, for their personal benefit, his abandoned land, is an epi-ode of the rebellion that gives a new proof of the axiom that "though the mill of the gods grinds slowly, it grinds very fine." It was to strengthen and confirm forever the title of himself and his descend ants to these "chattels" and their offspring, that Davis waged his wicked war against the Republic The result is as beneficial to those he sought" to injure as it is destructive to the interest he wished to extend and per petuate. An overruling Providence has se lected the appeal to arms, by which Slavery sought to render itself immortal, as the in strument of its speedy overthrow and ex tinction ; and while the conspirators are suf fering the punishments of their crime, their victims are enjoying the inalienable rights I which have heretofore been to theui novel. Asking for their Right3. The negroes down South are beginning to understand a few of their rights, and if they cannot vote they think that they can hold meetings. For the first time in the history of Mississippi such a convocation was held at Vick.burg on the 10th of last month. It was got up strictly in the white fashion. It had its President and Secretary, and ap pointed its committee on resolutions. Elo quent orators with dark skins made speech es. The resolutions reported by Pompey Kktto and others are well worded, and could not be exceeded in propriety of lan guage and perfect grammatical construction by any resolutions that might be presented at a meeting of old Mississippi politicians. They claim that the black man who. is loyal to the Union ought to have a right to vote, and they protest against President John son's proclamation which, stipulating that voters in the State shall be competent under former State laws, refuses them thereby the elective franchise. How the planters must have stared at this meeting of "niggers," and how they fretted over the fact that they could not go into it with whips and scoursre back the impudent participators. But this is an age of wonders and "the world moves." "Wait a Little." Our Democratic friends who are for sup porting Andrew Johnson because he is "op posed to the radicals" and is "a good enough Democrat" for them, appear now to have much to say about the way he disposed of the assassins. A little while ago they were sure lie would blow the Military Commission sky high, and send the accused to a civil court for "a fair trial." He was too good a Dem ocrat to countenance the proceedings brought about by the willfulness of Stanton, and he was going to restore the habeas corpus, put a stop to military commissions, and all that sort of thing. Wait till it comes the Presi dent's turn to act,said they. Well, we have waited, and we have seen what he has done, and how he did it. If there is an3-thing in his manner of doing things that pleases our Democratic friends in an especial manner, they have an extraordinary way of appear ing joyful oyerit. A gentleman recently in north-western Texas informs the New Orleans Times of the 3d instant, that the late rebel portion of the Cherokee Indians are in the greatest distress, and are actually near starvation. Their Chief, Standwuite, late Brigadier Gener al in the rebel army, has issued an address, or appeal to the people of Texas to assist his poor followers, which will be responded to in the proper manner. The Instinct of Reptiles. The New York Tribune, in a description of the late destructive fire in that city, says when the "snakes" in Barnum's Museum began to crawl from the fire, they naturally, all imme diately turned in the direction of the Jforld office for shelter and protection. MILITARY TRIBUNALS. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC PRESS. .From th2f. Y. Tribune, (Rep.) . We hear talk of more courts martial for the rnal of other than persons in our mili tary service", and we protest in advance a gainst them. We have courts .enough, law enough, and at least as fair a chance for jus tice with these as with any that can be im-p-roviscd out of our army by an order from the War Department. We do not m ich care what Europe may say of our jurispru dence ; we are only auxious that she shall have uo just cause for censure. If any reb el has conspired to starve our poldiers, or in fect our cities with pestilence, or do any act abhorrant to humanity, let him be iairly tried for the crime ; or if it is thought best to arraign some of the rebel chiefs for trea son, so be it ; but let us deal with them ac cording to law. It will be a grevious mis take an avowal of weakness a blunder and a folly to hold another court martial for the trial of other than military offenders belonging to our own army. Such a court can render no verdict that will carry weight with it in the judgment of impartial Chris tendom the fact that such a tribunal is re sorted to will be trumpeted by thousands as a virtual confession that a fair trial was not desired its verdict of guilty w ill be decided as preluding and preparing a judicial mur-. der. Let us return to the dominion of law ! From the Phil'a Age (Dcm.) There are rumors from Washington, sent across the telegraphic wires, that auother military commission is to be organized for the trial of certain parties now in confine ment. Wi hout stopping to inquire who those offenders are, or what may be the crimes with which they stand charged, we indulge the hope that these rumors are with out foundation. The organization of anoth er military commission would bring irrepa rable disgrace upon the country. There is no 'possible plea to justify such, a step. Neither the safety of the government, the welfare of the people, nor the requirements of justice, in any degree demand it. No one at this time can be legally and constitu tionally tried outside the civil courts, which are unobstructed, and in the perfect enjoy ment of their functions. Argumeut upon this point is useless, and in the name of justice, liberty, and law, we ask that the proper tribunal the civil courts may be the meat s of vindicating any outrage that may have been committed against the peace and dignity of the nation. From the Phil'a Press, (Union.) You may secure the exact measure of the patriotism of the men who assert that the rebellion is at an end, by the aid of the fact that without the war power aud the suspen sion of the Writ of habeas corpus, Jefferson Davis and the otherconspirators against the lives and liberties of the people could not be held in the strong arms of a military fort, but would be consigned to a county prison, probi bly at Richmond, Virginia, or Jack son. Mississippi, to all practical intents free and forgiven, to go and do as he pleased. You will perceive, at a glance, how deeply interested the detected conspirators are in the declaration by the President of such a policy as would enable them to resort to j the civil courts for trial ; to set at defiance las entire system of reconstruction ; to re store slavery under the old State laws, and to re-establish a system nearly as defective as that which has just been destroyed. The moment therefore, the President withdraws the machinery by which he is enabled to confine traitors and to punish them ; to en force the laws of Congress in the different seceded States, andtosustaiu his provision al governors ; the power to restore the U nion on the right basis is lost, never to be regained. Remember that there is not a single Southern State that was carried out of the Union by fraud in 18G0 61, that is entirely back in its foimer position ; and al so, that not one of these States can be pre maturely fixed in its former sphere without the strong arm of the National Government, backed by the army and the navy, and as sisted by the authority conferred upon the President in the act of Congress of March, 1SG3, in which he is empowered to suspend the writ of ha f jean corj)us,and to keep it sus pended as long as the rebellion shall contin ue. How extraordinary, in view of these i plain facts, that there should be a clamor against military courts, and tor the immediate re-establishment of what is call ed the "civil authority," by the very men who are struck with terror lest President Johnson should permit or encourage the o riginal conspirators against the Govern ment to return to the Union and be restored to their seats in Congress, there to form a party which is ultimately to defeat the Re publicans or Unionists, and to give the pow er and the patronage of the Federal Govern ment to the so-called Democratic party! E ven in the face of this demand on the one hand and complaint on the other, the men who make both know well that the only pro cess by which the traitors can be put back into Congress, and by which Jefferson Davis can escape just punishment of his infamous crimes, and by which, if 3 0U please, slavery in a new and odious form may be reinaugu rated in the South, is to take from the Pres ident that war power by means of which we may be ennabled to conduct the struggle with so much vigor. The opponents of the new Constitution of Missouri, intimated to the Secretary of State before the returns in his possession were counted, that he could, make $150,000 by "shutting his eyes for a short time." He wouldn't close his peepers for any such con sideration, and they then entered his office by meansof false keys,and ransackid it hoping to steal the poll books. These they failed to find, and the Constitution having been' de clared ratified, they raise the cry of fraud a gainst an officer whose integrity they failed to corrupt by a bribe. A special dispatch dated Columbus, Ohio, July 13th, says: Maj. Gen. Sherman had a public reception here to-day. In the course of his remarks he heartily endorsed General Cox, announcing him as the next Governor of Ohio. He also said he was not, under any circumstances, a candidate for Guberna torial or Presidential honors. The Italian army, which on Janiary 31, 1856, comprised 3,195 officers and 80,000 men, had, on December 41, 1864, increased to 15,925 officers and 49$, ISO rank audlt. Changes in the South. Among the marvellous" changes which have been taking place in the South, trifling incidents often give us a clearer view, and more thorough understanding of the altera tions in , the condition of things, than the best general description, or the profoundest philosophizings upon all the endless inter action between cause and effect In a re cent letter from Richmond the simple rela tion of the following facts give a vivid im pression of the changes which have been ef fected through all grades of society. The Government Clothing Bureau took possession of all the material left in the city at the evacuation. Eight hundred hands, mostly girls, have been employed in spin ning and weaving the wool, cotton, aud yarn thus confiscated, and the cloth manufactur ed from it is devoted to clothing the colored troops in Texas. The Sewing, at thirty cents for pantaloons, and the same sum'for shirts, is eagerly sought for by the women and girls of Richmond. About six hundred are employed in the work at their own residences, considering the rate of remuneration, which permits them to earn five dollars a week, satisfacto ry. Seven hundred shirts and three hun dred pairs of pantaloons are given out daily, and many members of the most prominent families of Richmond are among the appli cants for work. Verily, the changes must lave been mighty, which have induced the haughty daughters of Virginia to work on clothing for colored troops, holding service in the army of the United States, and enfranchis ed by United States law. But their own folly and wrong-doing has brought about its own retribution, and among the consequen ces is that they will even do such work for United States greenbacks! Let us not triumph in their overthrow, but rather hope that,through these hard lessons, they will lvirn certain truths which they ut terly refused to accept in the days of their prosperity, and recognize that the work which is now employing their hands is much worthier than the labors which they enthusiastically devoted to thesupport of an unjust cause and a spurious Government, erected oa falsehood, treason, and crime. Making a Little Demand of Max. General Steel, it is reported, has demand ed of the Imperialists in Mexico the return of the ordinance sold to them by Slaughter after the surrender of Kirby Smith to the United States. We shall see from the an swer to this demand what relations between the United States and Maxamilian are to be maintained. If he returns the property, well and good; if he does not, it will not be good for him. The United States .are neu tral in the quarrel between the imperialists and the republicans in Mexico sympathy very strongly iu favor of the republicans, but principles opposed to interference, or in other words, setting the example to foreign countries of minding one's own business. Max knowing of this neutrality, of which he has had the best evidence presented to. him, appears then a violater in a double sense of the rights of the United States in buying property belonging to this Govern ment from ouewho is not its owner ; or, in the language of the Quarter Sessions, "re ceiving property knowing it to have been stolen ;" and next in supplying himself with arms from citizens of the United States bound to respect our Government's neutral ity. The moral delinquency of being a re ceiver of stolen goods we can forgive, or leave the matter to his own conscience, but the political offence of the violation of our neutrality, he ought to be made to atone f jr by an apology, which would be a public con fession of the rights and the power of the United States Government, which imperial ists were disposed to doubt; and as an "o pen confession" is said to be "good for the soul," would no doubt benefit him morally. The Copperhead Editors are suffering with a general epidemic of "nigger on the brain," and are pitching into Sambo in fu rious style. At the same time they are pleading earnestly for the right of the defeat ed and still unrepentant Rebels to proclaim their chattels, and preserve the 'peculiar in stitution intact. These fellows are won drously behind the age. They do not seem to realize that the war has wiped out Slavery forever in the United States. Measures have been decided upon in the Interior Department for putting into speedy operation the necessary machinery for the disposal of public lands in the late insurgent States, and as soon as this can be done for the other States. These officers will be or dered to repair immediately to their posts and open offices for the sale of lands, at such central points as will best suit the general convenience. Registers and Receivers have already been designated for this work. It does seem to us that the policy of the President with respect to the questions in volved in the restoration of the Southern States, is clearly the policy of wisdom, safe ty and peace. He knows the elements and the dangers with which he has to deal ; he knows them from the stern experience of a long and active public career in the South, and hence, is guided by the lights of this experience. , . Henry A. Wise has an idea of running for Governor of the Old Dominion. Very well; but he can't be inaugurated over. the JTETr Itominkm. "Why Simon Cameron Left the War Depart ment. A correspondent of the Chicago Repub lican, deriving his information from "a gen tleman of Illinois," gives a new version in regard to the reasons that induced Mr. Cam eron to leave the War Department. The reasons are alleged to have been given by Mr. Cameron himself to the informant of the writer in the Republican. We give them as follows: "When Gen. M'Clellan was called to the command of the army, military affairs were in a deplorable condi tion. AVe were compelled to call him to the head of the army at a time when hz co-ild dictate his own terms, and he did so. He stipulated that he should pass upon all ap pointments and promotions, and the Presi dent and myself felt compelled for the sake of the country to accede for them. Under his rule, things went from bad to worse, and having no hope in the future, I saw the on ly way to save the country was to break the agreement with Gen. M'Clellan. I repre sented to him that things could not contin ue in this way, that Gen. M'Clellan must be removed from the supreme command of the army if he wanted to put down the rebel lion. The President agreed with me in this view of the case, but said : 'Cameron, how cm it be done ? We have passed our words to him that he shall have control of the ap pointments, and we cannot break them.' I replied : 'Leave that to me, I will cnt the gordian knot if I can not unravel it. I will resign, and 3?ou can appoirt another to my position.' Mr. Lincoln came to the same conclusion that I did. He said he would appoint me to the Russian Embassy, from which Mr. Clay was about to return, which would be a proof of his entire confi dence in me. I told him that I did not want to go to Rnssia, but he said that I must go injustice to myself, and that I might re sign as soon as I saw fit, after the accept ance of the mission. We then agreed upon my successor, Stanton, and so brought M' Clellan back to the original position of mat ters in the army lx-foie our agreement with him. Stanton refused to continue the agree ment, and M'Clellan must take his proper position or resign." Gen. Kilpatrick, has been appointed a delegate from Sussex county, to the Union State' Convention of New Jersey, which is to meet at Trenton on the 20th. He was present at the Sussex convention, and made a glowing Union speech,denouncing the dis loyal conduct of the New Jersey Democrat ic leaders, and pledging himself to stump the State, if he could get leave of absence from the field. . The General expects to be present at the State convention. A member of the British Parliament has recently proposed to levy an export duty on coal and iron shipped from England. His argument was that "coal and iron were gifts of Providence, and it was the duty of the government to utilize these commodi ties for the benefit of the country." If this is good logic, as applied to these substances in England, it is doubly true as applied in America to cotton. Neat cattle, on the hoof, can be bought in Toledo for four cents a pound. Prices have declined all over the country, and the rates at which fresh beef are retailed in the east and west is attributed to a combination of the butchers to keep up prices. There is a good opening in our cities for men who will purchase and sell at reasonable rates. A bill has been introduced into the Brit ish Parliament to increase the Irish con stabulary which is now composed of 12,000 regulaily drilled and well armed men. This looks as though somebody believed in the existence of a Fenian Brotherhood. Champ Ferguson, the guerrilla, is about being tried at Nashville. He is charged with the murder of fifty-four persons, one specification asserting of nireteen men at one time, and twelve at another. A Jew broker was standing on an oil-tub at an auction held the other day at Birming ham, (England,) when, in the excitement of "going, going1gone !" he stamped thestaves loose and disappeared in the'oil. Lieut. Gushing, the gallant young naval officer, will soon sail from New York for China on a three years' cruise as com mander of the old frigate Hartford, Admi ral Farragut's flagship. The Copperhead Leaders have resolved to build all their platforms, hereafter, on the only remaining principles, namely, the repu diation of tJie war debt and tlie restoration of slavery. They punish people queerly in China. For robbing a pedlar, a person was lately put in to a mortar (connon) and fired against a stone wall. A Vein of Valuable Copper Ore has been discovered in Lycoming county, on a farm owned by Martin Caub,inWolf township. The hull of the frigate Congress, of Mer rimac memory, is to be raised if the thing is practicable. The effort is being made. A Phjladelphia banker has just acknowl edged an "error" of $45,000, in makinghis returns, and paid the additional taxes. The German women employed to cultivate tobacco in Massachusetts are found to be in dustrious, expert and cheap.
