Some of them assert that the execution of Mrs. Sur rat was a clear case of murder. It is quite natural for parties concerned io the commis. Sion of any crime to Sympathize - one with the • other. at The tweaty-ninth annual ,cOmmence mert-of Franklin and Marshall College, at _Lancaster, will take place oe Wednesday, Ju• ly 2&tb. TIIE SOLDIERS.—At the commence ment of the war and during its continuance, certain newspapers, Yepritsenting those op posed to the Government in its efforts .to crush treason and rebellion, predicted all manner of outrages upon °Milian's, growing out of the'demoralization resulting from camp life. Those (says an exchange) who could stigmatize our soldiers as "hirelings," could readily go one step further,, and denounce them as ruffians against whom no man's life was safe at the close of the struggle in which they were engaged. But the result has not been-in-aceoidance_with_ the predictions of e men who thon , 7ht to embarrass the Gov- eminent by this peculiar kind of opposition. Instead of returning as ruffidns, our brave boys come home like men who appreciate the able of the cause in which the and lirrilY. — Uaerstanding that to their val , or and endurance is due a restored' nationali ty,. they are not disposed by any act to sully the proud name which an American soldier has won upon a score of battle-fields. Our returning soldiers have given the lie direct -to-all-these prophecies of their enemies.— After a few days of liberty the army blue is exchanged for the quiet dress of the civilian. Workshops and'faetories are being filled by ►those who left them at the call of their coun try, and who now return to show to the world that as citizens their record can be as spotless as that achieved upon the battlefield. THE TRIAL OF JEFF DAVIS.—The indications are, that the trial of the arch traitor and murdereriJeff Davis, wt spec ly plate Wa — sliington city. A gen tleman, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, who has access to•secesh society in Baltimore, says that the feeling for Jeff is not so strong, nor is the sympathy expressed by many lou. traitors for him as warm and as practical, us are these entertained for Lee, If this is re ally the fact, Jeff is destined to have a hard time of it in the progress of - his trial. TEe— same gentleman declares that those of the Baltimore secess:onists who _were most anx ious and sanguine for the success of the Con federacy, now cast the responsibility of its failure on Davis' imi erious conduct, head strong opposition to all other plans but his own, and jealousy of every rising traitor.— Thus situated and accused before his trial, Jeff Davis is destined to enjoy but little sympathy in his last dreadful moments from Ilia& in whose service he_has_already-tuade such largo sacrifices of other people's money and lives. A special Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune, says that a Mr. H. Simon Stern, employed by the friends of Jeff Davis to obtain a speedy trial of the prisoner, has been informed by the Govern ment; in reply to.an application he made to be permitted to see Davis, that no access will be allowed to him by counsel until he arrives in Washington. Va—.l.3arnum's Museum, New York, and eleven buildings adjoining it were destrOyed by fire on Thursday last. The Conflagration began about half-past twelve o'clock, and de fied the best endeavors of the New York fire department from that time until half-past three o'clock, when it submitted to the fast flowing, well-directed volumes of water.— The loss is variously estimated at from $7OO, 000 to $1,500,000 or $2,000,000. As the fire reached the confined animals, and, the serpents, the shrie:is, snorts, howls, whistling, were startling. The birds of all kinds were dreadfully alarmed, but many of them flew out. Amongst them was a largo eagle and a condor. Many of the monkeys escaped. The whale and alligators suffered dreadful torments, as the water in which they swam was literally boiling. The' tiger and the lion were locked together in close combat, and the lioness and boa constrictor were' also engaged in deadly struggle, and an alligator and an anaconda. The floor, un dermined by flame, soon gave way with an awful crash, and the living, struggling, how ling mass was launched into a gulf of red and yellow fire, The "fat woman," Anna Swan, was rescued from .the building, by a high. derrick,, and breaking out a portion of the wall on each side of the window. THE WHEAT CROP.—The St. Louis Republican of the 10th contains an article giving a gloomy prospect for the wheat crop in that •region. It says .that in Illinois and Missouri, with the western and southwestern parts of Indiana,• the wheat fields have ad: Jered immensly from the rust, and that many farmers who counted hopefully upon crops of twenty to twenty-five bushels per acre , of plump wheat, are harvesting five to eight bushels of shrivelled cheaty grain, almost worthless. Others have entirely lost crops which but a few weeks ago promised more than an average yield. The hogs have been turned into many fields, the otop not worth • the expense of harvesting. Igr The Toronto, Canada, correspondent of the N. York _Herald says that the execution of Mrs. Surratt caused intense excitement among the rebel conspirators in' Canada.— They manifested their feeling by wearing crapo on their arms, singing secession songs and threatening the President of the United States with terrible retribution. THE VANDALS.—The Grand Jury of the United States District Court in Balti more, has found indictments !or_ being enga ged in the - Rebellion, against thirteen prom inent Marylanders, including Bradly T.

Another is very ill with the same disease. Ten little mounds, side by side, mark the silent abodes of the children. The steamer Fulton, from Savannah and Charleston, arrived in New York on the 15th bringing advices ,from those cities to the 11th instant. The Savannah Herald publishes an address from Governor Brown, of Georgia, to the people, in which he • urges them ,to • support the Government and the President. He appeals to them to take the amnesty oath, and keep it in good faith. lie states that slavery is now dead forever, and'also that he will emancipate his slaves anci- treat them as ,freemen.

Captain Hart says that a ship, five or six miles off his vessel, was seem by him, appa rently engaged in searching for the wreck, and he thinks that she undoubtedly saved some of the passengers fiom the wreck, all of whom had been three days and nights in the water. The mate and cabin passengers are recovering from their injuries, but the women are badly burned alibut the legs and arms, and are not pronessitig so well. HALIFAX, July 17.—C. P 0.

Whereas, in the issue • of the Richmond Irlo,q of July 11, 1865, a certain clause of the merciful amnesty proclamation of the President of the United States, pardoning certain traitors, is stigmatized as "heathen ish," and a law of this land, duly enacted by Congress, and approved• by the President, is characterized as "mean, brutal, and coward ly, revoltingly absurd and atrociously unjust," it is ordered that the Provost Marshal of this Department seize and hold in bis possession the office, presses, type, and other property belonging to the proprietors .cd said paper and prevent, thenceforward the publication thereof. By command of Major General Terry ED. W. SMITH, A. A. G. - AN UNNATURAL YOUNG JEFF.—T h e Proiidence.(R. I.) Press says that one of the citizens of that place has returned from Savannah, who gives information concerning the family of Jell. Davis, to the effect that Mrs. Davis is boarding at the Pulaski House, and has apparently plenty of money. She has an extensive and magnificent wardrobe, he is certain of from ocular demonstration, and also that she spares no pains to let the fact be know - n. Her - little son seems to be enjoying himself hugely, and frequently a muses himsely by singing in tne hall— " We'll hang Jeff. Davis on a SoUr Apple Tree." The Sentenced Conspirators WASHINGTON, July 18.—lt is said that the conspirators, Mudd, Spangler, Arnold. and O'Laughlin were yesterday sent to the Albany penitentiary, in accordance with their respective sentences. H Gillett, who is retained by some friends of Jeff Davis as the latter's counsel, arrived here several days ago. Ho has had no interview viotth his client, nor does he know what course the Government intends to pursue relative to the trial. carA servent girl in that uncertain region known as "oat West" recently tried whisky to kill rats'. She made it swoot.with sugar, crumbled in bread, and sot the dish in the cellar. A few hours after, she went down add found several rats gloriously "fuddled," engaged in throwing potato paring's and haul ing one another up - to drink. These' were easily disposed.of; those not 'killed left the premises immediately, undoubtedly suffering with a severe headache. re steerage passer 1 mug 1- Murder and Lynching in Illinois A startling tragedy was enacted at Nash ville, 111., on the Fourth,. A German farmer named Jacob Meiei had employed two men named White and ,McGready to assist him durinf , harvest. The two laborers' ,declined to 'moil on the Fourth and asked for — the money due them, which Meier refused to pay, agile was'disappointed by'their deter mination not to work. After this, which oc curred in the field, the two 'men repaired to Meier's house and ordered his wife to tell them where his money was concealed. Upon her refusing they began torturing her with boiling water fiche the stove. Upon her per sistently refusing to produce the Money, one of the men brought in an iron wedge from the yard andbeatTher on the-head unto had killed her. To prevent t 1 becoming known the men then set fire to the house, and securely locking the doors and fastening the windows, went directly into• the woods a short distance off. The smoke was soon seen issuing from the house, and one of the neighbors bursting open the door saw the dead body of Meier's wife on the floor. The atrocious murder caused great. excite ment, and the people turned out in every di rection to seek for the perpetrators. The next day White was caught on his way to St. Louis. Re had traveled about twenty-five miles on, foot and bad fallen asleep on the side of the road. - 'He was taken back to the where he made a confession of all that had occurred. About six o'clock the same evening it was determined to lynch him. He was given a• few mements to prepare him self for death, when a rope was placed about his neck arid he was hung to a tree in view of the ruins of the house where the cruel and brutal murder was committed, At last ac counts MeGready had not been arrested. Fearful Storm SomERviLLE, N. J., July 17.—A heavy storm set in here yesterday afternoon, caus ing the most extensive flood known in these parts since the year 1811.

A. H. Ste 'hens, len an, now. a prisoner, as our readers*know, in Fort Warren. The Secretary kindly as sured them that ho would institute proper inquiries; and if it could, the privilege solic ited would not be withheld from the distin guished prisoner. "But, gentlemen," said the Secretary, eyeing them keenly, "have you not a word to say for Mr. Davis ?—no petition to present for him?" Surprised and confounded, our Georgia friends hesitated, when the Secretary quickly remarked, "Since his (Mr. D.'s) arrest, save from Mrs. Davis, not one appeal has. come from the South in his behalf." RORAIMA ACCIDENT.—From the San dusky. (Ohio) Register, wo take the follow ing particulars of an accident, resulting in the death of three ladies, while making a pleas ure., trip on bead the steamer Ottowa, on the Fourth : The daft of the vessel is situated somo eighteen inches above the main deck, and spliced in the centre. From the splices a nut protruded, which, in its revolutions, caught the crinoline of a Miss Whitehead, who,in her efforts to extricate herself from being wound around. the shaft, caught hold of a Mrs. Mont gomery with.a deadly grasp. ' Mrs. Montgom ery immediately grasped a Mrs. Fisher, and the three were wound around the shaft togeth er, and crushed in the most horrib!c manner. The parties all belonged to Locust Point.— The husbands, children, and friends of the unfortunate persons were on board, and be held the horrible sight without any power to relieve them. The boat was. turned and headed for home, and the party that had started out fora day of pleasure and rejoic rn in grief and mourning, BLACKBERRY CORDIAL.—To a gallon of good, ripe blackberries. add 'three pounds of cheap, clean brown sugar and a quart of rain water scalding hot. Suffer the berries thus treated, to stand 12 hours in an earthen crock, and then stew tWenty minutes in a porcelain lined kettle. Squeeze out all the liquid through a close cloth strainer, add to it a quart of Jamaica spirits,, a quarter of a pound of whole all-spice, and an ounce of essence of cloves. Bottle when cola, and use a large table-spoonful of the cordial in an ordinary tumbler of water as a common beverage during all the warm weather. Under such a practice, there will be very few cases of cholera. infariturn and "summer complaints," among children, or of diarrhcei or dysentery among adults. The Vienna Presre relates the following incident: "On Monday last 'a manufacturer of this city was going to celebrate his marriage with a young girl without any fortune. Qn arri ving at the church the intended btidEgroom wished to leave his hat in the carriage.• He raised it from his head, but unfortunately brought away his wig as well. No sooner did the young lady see the artificial head of hair detached from the skull of her lover than she refused to become his wife, and each returned home, to the great disappoint. went of the witnesses .and others present." NEW GAME FOP. CIIILDEEN.—The little boys now amuse themselves in the streets by playing the new and popular game of "Jeff Davis," `as follows: Each tri his turn puts on an old hoop skirt and bonnet, runs away and is pursued and captured by the others representing the Union soldiers who, amid great noise and confusion, confine him a pris oner in some unfortunate neighbor's area;and laugh at him through the bars until the oc cupants. of the house chase the little rogues away ! -7,Baltimorq Cl(pper.

COPPERHEADS. ON THE • ROIPAGE.—At Belvidere N. J., on the 4th lust , Rev. Mr. Landon delivered a patriotic adderss, • which was not relished by the copperheads. So as soon as the address was concluded, Judge Jacob Sharp forced himself upon the stand, excitedly proclaiming, that there had been "an abolition prayer" and "a nigger. politi cal speech" made, and that there had been "no Fourth of July,f" win iing up by. invi ting the deinocracy, to assemble at the•EtTud at two o'oclock, to listen to able democratic speeches and prayers,. in oppositon to the political speech and prayers that had just been delivered.

The result is, that deserters from the arnths or the other side. are worming themselves into positions that should be fill ed by our own native citizens, who, perforce, are compelled to emigrate to the United States in order to support themselves and their fam ilies. The consequence is, that Canada gets the worst of the exchange—the dissipated an d unprincipled bounty Jumper—while the, United States recieve your best class: of laborers and mechanics." . The letter was called out by an article in the Globe, on the extraordinary number. of robberies, and disturbatics which had hap pened in Toronto , and other cities since the peace. We can only hope that this select'eir ele of gentlemen at leisure will be greatly re= formed before they return to that,. country which they have left for its good. A Ithhmond paper estimates that the war cost the South five thousand eight hundred millions of dollars, viz : Twenty-five hun dred millions by loss of slave' property; nine hundred mil:ions by the ravages of war; nine hundred millions by the loss of staple crops;,. five hundred millions by property sunk in the Confederate debt, and one thousand mil lions by what the South must hereafter pay as her praportion of the principal and interest ortho national debt. Our Murdered Dead NEW YORK, July 17.—The steamer Chase brings Savannah dates to the 13th. The steamer Virginia arrived on the 12th, with fencing material, head-boards, and other lumber to be used in enclosing the prison at Andersonville. All the remains of our mur dered prisoners will be decently interred in proper groves, and, where identificition is possible, the name of each martyr will be legibly marked upon neat head-boards.
