VOLUME 2, "ASSASSINATION OF PIZARRO. THE CONQUERKR OF TERU. Pizarro completed hia conquests after the death of Almagro. Having acquired the province of Char efts, in which the rich mioes of Potosi were situated, he di vided them among the conquerors, not forgetting his brothers, one of wh"tn. I'er dinand, was at that time a prisoner in Spain. His brother Genzoles had driven the Inea Mauco to the Mountain- -n l | became Governor of Quito, and no 112 vtn j idubla opposition to his schemes now ox- | isted. Pizarro now set about tosecur andes i tablish his authority; but the uieans which he employed were as IthpolMe they werecvuel. He not only discharged all the officers whom he suspected of hav ing any regard for Almagro, but, ci n gpious of his own injustice, and fearing the injurious effect of their complaining against him. he took measures to prevent their return to Spain. Thus deprived of employment, and under the ban of the government, many of them suffered the greatest distress, and were compelled to live upon the charity of such of their couutiyincu as had the courage to extend alms to them. It is related that twelve of these proscribed persons, all men of good family, resided together in a house ' theni by a Son or de la Presa, and that having hut one cloak among tneiu all 'they were compelled togo into the street ortc at a time by turns. I)e la Presa dy ing, Pizarro turned them out of the house, and at the same time published an edict, prohibiting every one, under the severest penalties, from affording them or their ad herents the least relief. Thus rendered desperate, they became fatal to Pizarro ; for, seeing no end to their miseries but their own or his destruc tion, they resolved upon the latter. These distressed veterans wer® among the bravest among Almagro's followers; and, conspiring with their old comrades, a nmnber'of the most daring repaired two or three at a time to Lima, where they found friends who concealed them in their houses until tlicir numbers reached two hundred. They then determined to seize the first good opportunity to execute their design. In this they were delayed some time by the hope that a now com missioner, some of whose attendants had already arrived, would come from Spain to investigate Pizarro'? conduct, and that he would be compelled to do them justice without putting tlem under the necessity of raising an insurrection. On Sunday, the 26th of June. 1, however, I>e Rada, one of the principal inspirators, had private intelligence that tliej- were discovered, and that Pizarro was about to have them all put to an ig nominious death in a few hours. Tins information he hastily comniunicah 1 t • such of the conspirators as heeoul 1 m -l readily find ; on which, feeling there was no time to be 4ugt, they repaired, one by one, to the nuiulicr of nineteen, to the house of youug Almagro, which was on one side of the great square, from thence they marched with drawn swords through the market place towards Pizarro's pal ace, crying out. " Long live the king, but let the tyrant die!" It it- remarkable that though there were more than a thousand people in the square thc3 - met with no opposition, nor did Pi zarro have the le*st intelligence of their coming until they entered his palace, the doors .'Cing open. When the first news of the disturbance reached him he was sitting with only one or two of his people, and ordered Francis de Chaves, his lieutenant-general, to secure the great d«*vi > he neg lected to do, it was only some difficulty among the soldiers, which his own presence would easily quell; so that, going forward, he met the conspimtors on the great staircase, and, demanding the cause of the commotion, was answered by the daggers of two or three of them in his bosom, caused him to drop instantly dead. Pizarro, hearing them in the gallery, had no time to put on litp armor, but, seiz ing his sword and buckler, defended the door of his apartment with- resolute cour age. supported by fois half-brother, Don Francis de Alcantara, and two pagies, the rest of his company and sefyanU having fled yt the beginning of the insurrection.

Pizarro was endowed by nature with great energy and courage, as well as ad ministrative ability ; but his ambition was boundless, while he never scrupled to sacrifice his honor or to violate the most sacred obligations to self interest. Ilia fate, in some measure, resembled that of Aimagro. Like him, he fell a victim to ambition; like him, he died from vio lence; like him, he was obscurely buried lifter* life of splendor; but he possessed »i'>t a tithe of Almagro's virtues.—A T . Y.

Shipherd, Secretary of the "North western Freedmen's Aid Commission," communicates to the Chicago Journal the following extract from a recent busiuess coiiipiouicaticp from one of our teacheas at Mobile, Alabama. For the lust two months we have been in the frequeut re ceipt of similar statements equally credi ble. The author of the extract herewith is a gentleman of mora than ordinary in telligence, and especially prudeut iji re gard to the repetition of ruujors. TilK EXTRACT. " With the present tendency of mat ters in this State, I do not think colored sc|)ogb can be opened very genevelly, ex cept in such places as this, Montgomery, etc. By Governor l'arsons' proclama tion, civil law, as it existed before the or dinance of secession was passed, is now in force throughont the State. "Iu accordance therewith, the Mayor of this city decides that the testimony of a colored man against a white man cannot be admitted in acourtof justice; neither can a colored mail sue or collect a debt of a white man. The • freedmau' is only one in name, while his actual condition is worse than when a slave. This is the very result which rebels wish to bring about. "W" " A meeting was held here last night, before which statements were made as to the treatment of colored by white people, in the interior of the State, ,whi,ch would make you sick of life. One hundred and" thirty-five dead bodies wer ■ counted in the woods; five bodies were seen floating in the river; two white men were seen to pull a negro down across a log aud cut his head off with an ax. Women and chil dren were killed, and then boxed up and thrown into flic river; a woman was kill ed by a white man, aud burial refused by him to her rclativas. " For a black man to be with ' greenbacks' in his possession is death. Colored people are hiding in the woods, living on beriics, fruits, etc., to escape (he fury of their former masters. "These statements were made by intel ligent, candid, colored men before an au liciice of several huudred last night.— In Mobile, through the connivance of -oiuebody, churches and negro houses are burnt, women set to work cleaning the streets, men and women arrested in beds and taken to the guard-house, lined or sent to the work-house, etc., etc. " Last night there was a heavy fire, in which three or four squares, mostly of negro quarters, were burned- Men were heard to y,ay that before they were douc, they wouliP burn every negro quarter and school house in Mobile. These things might be remedied." —A Democratic exchange refcrriug to the recent trouble at Aquia Creek says: The end of these negro riots and mu tinies will only occur when we to the negro no more consideration than we do to white men. Are Democrats willing to accord the 1 same consideration to the negro as to ihe white man? We ought to believe that when that is done there will be no more riots and mutinies.

BUTLER, BUTLER COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23 1865. The New Nile Discovery. The London Ath'-naeum says of the la'e very interesting and important discovery of Mr. Raker: "The resnlt of Mr. Raker's voy ige up the Nile is not (if Vf(s understand him) the discovery of a new source. What Mr. Raker has done in his adventurous journey is remarkable; still it is only a matter of detail—the partial exploration of a great ba-in in the Nile course, far below the Victoria Nyanza, at' which Speke has already laid down in his map under its native napie of Lula Nzige.— This lake, which Mr. Raker proposes to call in future the Albert Nyanza—a change of name for which we can see no reason —appears to be a part of the Nile, as Speke described it, and not an independ ent feeder of that river. " Speke marked it in his map as con nected with the Nile, at a lower elevation; the difference of level being, caused by the Karuma equal, perhaps, in grandeur, to those of Niagara. The name of these falls Mr. Raker also proposes to change, submitting for the native name of Karuma that of a private English gen tleman—a suggestion iti which it is im» possible that any geographers will lie found to concur. The Luta Nzgiehas the same sort of relation to the Victoria Nyanza as Rioline has toNeufchatel,Thud to Rrienze, and Ontario to Erie. " Mr. Raker's account of his travels is interesting, and we give the principal par agraphs in his own words: "' After eighteen days march I reach ed the long-wished-for lake, about one hundred miles of M'rooli, at Vacovia, iu north latitude 1 deg. 14 seconds. In re spect for the memory of our lauieuted prince, 1 named it (subject to her Majes ty's permission) the Albert Nyanza, as the second great source of the Nile—sec ond not in importance, but only in order of discovery to the Victoria Nile-head.— The Victoria and the Albert lakes are the indubitable parents of the river. , '"The capital of Nnyoro (M'rooli) is sjtuatcd at the junction of the Nile and Kafoor rivers, at an attitude of 3,202 feet above the sea level. I followed the Ka foor to latitude 1 deg. 12 min. north, to avoid an impassable morass that runs from north to south; upon rounding this 1 con tinued a direct westerly course to the lake. The route throughout is wooded, interspersed with glades, thinly popula ted, with no game. My route lay over high ground to the north of a swampy valley running west; the greatest eleva tion was three thousand six hundred and eighty six lift. The rocks were all gne iss, granite, and masses of iron ore, ap parently 112 used into a conglomerate with rounded qui . Iz pebbles. " ' The Albert lake is a vast basin, ly ing in an abrupt depression, the cliffs, which I descended by a difficult pass.be ing one thousand four hundred and sev enty feet above its level. The lake level is two thousand one hundred and thirty two feet lower than the Nile or M'rooli; accordingly the drainage 6f the country tends from e;/«t*lo west. From the high ground above the lake no ground is visi ble to the south and southwest; but north west and west is a large range of moun tains, rising to about seven thousand.f'eet above the lako level, forming the western shore, and runing southwest parallel to the cour«e of the lake. Roth l\ing rafi and the natives assured me that the lako is knowu to extend into Kuuianika's country to the west of Karagwe, but I'roni that point, in about 1 deg. 80 min south latitude, it turns suddenly to the west, iu which direction its extent is unknown.— In north latitude 1 deg. 14 mill., where 1; reached the lake, it is about sixty miles! wide, but the width increases southward. The water is deep, sweet, and transpar ent; the shores are generally clean and free from reeds, forming a sandy beach. "' Lake Albert Nyanza forms an im mense basin far below the level of the adjacent country, and receives the entire drainage of extensive mouutain rangesou the west, and of the Utumbi, Uganda, snd Unyoro countries on the east. Even tually receiving the Nile itself, It adds its accumulated and forms the second source of that mighty river. The voyago down the lako is extremely beautiful, the mountains frequeutly rising abruptly from the water, while tumorous cataracts rush down their furrowed sides. The cliffs on the east shore are granite, frequently mix ed with the large masses of quart*. " 1 The actual length of the Albert Ny anza, from south to north, is about two .hundred 9htl sixty geographical miles, in dependent of its uukt,jwn course to the west bciwecn 1 and 2 degrees south lat itude, and of its similar cowrse in the north iu latitydc about 3 degrees.'" —Governor Picrjmot aluue has recom mended over mie thoutamd of tlie twenty thousand dollar clause for jpardon. The Atlantic Cable. NEW YORK, August 15. —The London Times' Valentin eoriespondeqt gives the ] following in reference to the to ' the cable on-the 29th inst.; It was not defective insultation which was then 1 covered at Va'.eritia, but a U>tal loss pf I insultation. Iu other words, either the i copper conductor was stripped of all its I outside protection, and w as coipmuuiea- ( ting with the water, or the cable had i been cut or completely brokeu. The Ad- i uiirality charts of the bottom of the At- t lantic, charts constructed from Boundings, 1 especially made to forward tlie great un- ' dertakiug, show by the distance from land ' that the t! reat Eastern was then in one 1 thousand hundred filthenjs water, : that is allowing for slack. A little more 1 than two miles of rope was stretching i from her stern to the bottom of the ocean. 1 The enormous pressure and friction of the water on the saturated outer hemp 1 covering of the line at this depth, would i render it a d : fficult matter to wind in this two mile length, if it could be done at all, in less than twelve hours. It is almost certain that it could not be done at all. Had the cable been so injured as to leave its conductor bare, that injury would at least take off two-thirds of the rope's 1 strength. Tl)at such a fault could not have occurred is generally considered sufficiently evidenced by the fact that the fault, whatever it was, was repaired iu little more than one half the time it would have taken to haul back the cable supposing the accident to have occurred to the portion submerged and even close at hand. It is therefore conjectured, with the utmost appearance of proof, that the fault was caused by a kink, which, having been seen to pass in pay ing out the machine, and the vessel im mediately stopped, the kink extricated, a piece cut out aud a new splice made. This theory is borne out by the fact that the time consumed in repairing the accident which is known by the cessation of the signal, is almost too minute for the for the time that would be required to make and test such a splice on board the Great Eastern. Those iu charge there, knowing that all was right behind them, aud that time was of vital importance, would not be likely to waste it by putting the severed end of the wire in communi cation with the instrument at A'aleutia, while the electricians at the latter station could send no response through the cut cable, but on the contrary, there was a total loss of insultation. The intelligence that we publish from Great Eastern to-day is more hopeful for the success of the undertaking that appears on the face of it. Nine hundred miles have been paid out, which means not only that after the tank, which kept her so heavily down by the stern, aud so greatly iuipo- . ded her speed, is empty,but that the pas sage of the cable from from the stern tank to the forward, has been successfully accomplished, and even is a fact, light suing also the aftermost tank, which held 8!50 miles of cable and 400 tons of water. By this time, therefore, it is vacant, and a good length will have been taken out of forward tank, which only contain ed 700 miles in round numbers. The vessel has now expended nearly three thousand tons of cable and water, and 2,000 tons of coal. The Hrrald't special from Heart's Content, of the 24th, says : The captain of the Terrible informed the captaiu of the Frst Fruit that the cable parted on the 2d, and that a buoy was the mark when last seen. The captain of the schooner is not certain of the location of the buoy, having had no observation for several days. Wo don't give up the ex pedition as a failure, as when last seen she was endeavoring to discover the location of the buoy, showing they had n.it aban doned all hope of eventually laying the cable. Mr. Mackey, superintendent of the New Foundland line, is yet hopeful that the Great Hasten will arrive in a few days with the cable all right. I cannot describe the deep feeling of disappointment which prevails among the people in general. The general feel ing is that the Atlantic cable is a thing never to be successfully accamplished. At the time of the cabU breaking, it was about six hundred miles distant from the coast of New Foundland. Another ves sel, which arrived at Harbor Grace last Friday, reported they gaw, four days pre vious, a large buoy, two miles distant trom the vessel. The captain of the First Fruit reports that he asked the Ter rible whether they considered the fable' recoverable. The answer was they sould not say. —Geo. W.

The HiW York correspondent of the Providence Joux^al. relates the following melajjfJioly indent of metropol-tan life: ''Whilst descending friiiu the. upper part of the city this morning, I found in the cars an aged clergyman, long since retired from the pulpit, but who I recol lect as one of the most popular preach ers of other days. As I sat beside him I inquired after several clergymen with whom I was formerly acquainted. Among the rest was the ltcv. Mr. . "When I last saw him," said the aged clergyman in response to my inquiry, he was quite well. His departure was most unfortu nate and mclaoeholy. "You amaze me," said I. pray, gir, what do you mean by his departure ? "Why. he was dismissed," returned my aged friend, "have you not heard of it T" On my replying in the negative', and coutipuiug my expressions of sur prise, the old man related the following narrative: "The Rev. Mr. ,as you know succeeded liis father in the pulpit. He had one of the largest and most fash ionable, certainly the wclthiest congrega tions in the eity of bis sect, representing from fire to six millions of dollars. '1 hey adopted the son as their pastor before the deatli of his father, and showered on him every favor, benefit and good office.— liis salary was seven thousand dollars a year, and the gifts of his parlshoners, to gether with church fees, would probably amount to as much more.
