Pierpoint has gone to Old Point and Norfolk, accompanied by Gov. Ane drew, of Massachusetts. &@ From Hudson Taylor, 334 Pennsylvania avenue, we have a copy of the agreeable Octo- ber number of Godey‘s Lady’s Book. Foreign Intervention. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes, September 15, as follows: The foreign papers, I see, are full of rumors of French intervention. 1 have good reason tor believing them to beentirely groundless. ‘The victories of Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Port Hudson had quite as marked an effect in France asin England. Beyond all question, previous to those victories the French Emperor believed that his intervention would terminate | the war. The paragraph m the Monituer which attracted so much attention proved that ibis was his intention. | A very emphatic and peremptory despatch | trom our Secretary of State gave him to ande: Stand that amy such interference would most certainly prolong the war and enlarge. the | sphere of its operations. The victories of July ave very great weight to this declaration; and | unless I have been misinformed ag to the tenor Of the Iastest despatches from Mr, Dayton, they | convey the most exxlicit and unmistakable as- | surance from the French Emperor, as wellas | trom his Minister of Foreign Affairs, that | | | ' France has no intentton e'ther to Trecognize the | Southern Confederady vhile its ability to maintain its mdependence is seriously ‘con- led, nor to plant any French colonies on the Western Continent, or to retain any permanent conquest of Mexico. } Theee declarations are very distinct, and I | think are regarded as eminently satisfactory by | our Goverument. They show clearly that ' J.onis Napoleon, whatever may be his personal | inclinations, will never interfere in an affair | until he is at least morally certain that England | will follow his fead; and the recent change in the tone of the London Times, (which is a most excelent dial for Government sunshine,) and the expressed sentiments 6f official personages in England, have satisfied ‘him that he will oaly endanger the entent¢cordtalewith England, | and isolate himself in Enrope, by ony recog- uiuen of the Contec racy in tace of the recent | victories of the Union arms. { i may add, I think with confidence, that the | President does not think that the new rebel Toms will be allowéd-to letve English ports. Opp- Ferrowenry.—The R, W. Grand Lodge of Odd-Feliows of the United States will hold ottirty-vinth anpual session in the city of Baltimore on next Menday, the 2ist insfant. Ielegates will be present from atl the States ot the Union, except the following: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala- bouma, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Missis ppi sud Arkansas. Atthe Infe annual session of of this body the Stute of Téhnesse was not rep- resented, but the representatives of fhe Grand Lodge of that State have already communi: ted with the heads of the order, and they will be present. James B. Nicholson, of Pennsyl- yAnia, Mest Worthy Grand Sire will preside. and no elections for Officers will take place, as | they are elected biennially, and the officers LOW serving were chosen last year. ‘The deliberations, ware informed, will be coufined almest exclusively to business of a | local character. Some of the Grand State Lodges are resented by from two to four | delegates, Which is regulated by the numerical | strength of the Order. Maryland, whichis re. | guréed as the cradle of the Orderin America, | has four representatives. Of the thirty-eight | 7 apmual sessions helf’by the order, all were in Battimore with the exception of four, when the | ‘Grand body met in’ New York, Philadelphia, | ‘Cincipnat: and Nashville.

U. Marknam reached this city, Wambolt offered to bet Luckenbach $10 that this woman waseecesh. I don’t know what the woman's name is. We started down staira to put up the money, and Luckenbach did not have $10, but offered to put up his watch, and Mr. wart it said the watch had been up too often, and he did not believe It was his (1's). The Lieutenant was talking to Mr. Lucken- bach, and wanted him to keep quiet. Wam- bolt was taking off his coat. and said Lucken- bach was a “gut,” and he (W.) could Uck him (L). Then they walked up, and Mr. Wam- bolt told Luckenbach to go way from him. He told him to go away two or three times, and that if he did not he would make him. Luckenbach said he could not and then Wam- bolt struck him. They scuftled down by the gutter. Two policemen came across the street and one grabbed hold of Mr. Wambolt. Lieut. Brannin ordered Wambolt’s release. Some one asked him who he was. He said he was Lieut. Brannin. The reply was they did not care who he was. I belisoye he (Brannin) felt in his vest pocket.

Shandley remained with Mark. ham all night, and examined his carpet bag, where he found $15,000, mostly in gold, and told him that they were entitied to ten per cent on all goods captured by them; and in the morning Markham paid over to Shandley the required amount, he asserts.
