The Tunisian Embassy, consisting of Gene- ral Otman Hashen, Special Abassador from his Highness the Bey of Tunis, Colonel Rome- ro Gaita, Aid-de-camp to General Hashen, and Chevalier Antoine Conti, Secretary and In- terpreter, was to-day presented to President Johnson. The distinguished visitors, accom- panied by the Secretary of State, Mr. Seward, and the American Consulat Tunis, Mr. Perry, arrived at the Executive Mansion at twelve o'clock, and were shown into the Blue Room, the reception room of the President. While wailing the appearance of President Johnson afew moments were spent in conversation re- spocting the Mansion, and the impressions of the Embassy ting our country, Mr. Perry interpreting in French to Chevalier Conti, who ye ie the conversation toGen. Hashen in rabic. Upon President Johnson entering the apart- ment Gen. Hashen rose from his seat and was presented by Secretary Seward. He then read the letter ot the Bey of Tunis, which was written m Arabic, and although not occupy- ing in that language a space |: T than one page of letter paver, would have filled at least three pages if written in English. The President, in reply, said that the inaugu- ration of these courtesies between the old con- tinent of Africa and the new continent of America was suggestive, he trusted, of more friendly auspices.He was giad that the Bey of Tunis bad sent us an embassy, specially leasea that he had sent Gen. Hashen as his inister, He (Gen. Hashen) was favorably known to us as a soldier, statesman, and scholar, and as being devoted to the extinction of every form of human servitude. He would report to his Highness, the Bey, that the American nation is trying an experiment whether the people of the Union can saye liberty while saying themselves. The events referred to in the letter, and what the Gevern- ment of Tunis communicated, were matters that would be regarded by us as evidences of their kind consideration. “He (ihe President) would accept them as such, and while we thanked God that he had saved us from our calamities, we especially thank Him that He has led the nations of the earth to determine the enormities of the crimes against our Goy- ernment. He trusted our success would be beneficient not only at home butabroad. War ofter conferred benefits, but peace and civiliza- tion were far more promotive of such. The portrait of the Bey sent to the President, be- sides being of interest was a wonder of art, and was received with satisfaction. He (the President) would endeayor to make their so- journ here interesting and pleasant. The substance of the President’s remarks was interpreted to Gen. Hashen, after which the other members of the embassy were pre- sented, and the party withdrew. THE CHOLERA, The State Department received a large foreign mail this morning, which brought additional intelligence relative to the cholera. The U.S. Consul at Liverpool enclosed to the Department an extract from the Liverpool Post of the 13th instant, from which it appears that the inhabitants of Epping (ten miles from pnb weal) and the neighborhood, are new in considerable alarm in consequence of the out- break of the cholera at Thoydon. a village about amile and ahalffrom Epping. Twelve cases haye occurred, and four deaths. Dr. M’Nab who attended the patients was attacked and died in a few hours. The Consul at Messina, writing under date of Sept. 30th, says the cholera has made con- siderable ravages in the eastern portion of the Kingdom of Italy and on the shores of the Adriatic. The Island ofSicily has so far been spared of this scourge, which is attributed to the stringent quarantine regulations. Neither yessels or steamers coming from any infected parts are allowed to a with ine visions cm are shore. If needed prov ae the lich oie aH thew yeenehs, al ters are after- ward sunk. THE VETERAN RESERVE CORPS. The order relative to the Veteran Reserve Corps has been promulgated by the War De- partment, and, as anticipated by the Star, simply directs an inspection of the yarious er- ganizations of the corps for the pu: of as- certaining the names of the men who wish to be mustered out and those who wish to be re- tained. Those who desire to leave the service will be discharged immediately. Capt. Wi ruff has been selected to make the inspection of the troops in this department, and he is now making the ni arrangements for the pa- rade, as directed in the order, It is believed that over three-fourths of the men of the corps will avail themselves of the benefits granted in the order and retire from the service. a THE DISMANTLED FORTS, The ground occupied by the dismantled forts surrounding Washington is to be turned over to the Owners as soon as all the buildings at- tached to the forts are sold. The first sale commences to-day, at Battery Parrott, and will be continued from day to day at each fori until all the buildings are disposed of. A large number of bidders will doubtless be in attend- ance at these sales, as they embrace a very large quantity of lumber, and an excellent op- portunity is afforded land owners and others in the vicinity of Washington to secure brild- ing and fencing material convenient to their property. THE FARRAGUT COURT MARTIAL. The Naval Court Martial, of which Vice Ad- miral Farragut is President, will commence its session here on Wednesday. First Lieutenant C. F. Williams, of the Marine Corps, has been ordered to report to the President of the Court, 4s Provost Marshal ofthe same. The first case to be taken up ws that of Lieut. Celonel Mars- ton, of the Marine Corps, charged with con- duct unbecoming an officer. It is supposed that this court will continue its sessions for four or five weeks. <i... GENEBAL MUZZY. Gen. Muzzy, who has been acting as Military Secretary to the President, has, at his own re- quest, been relieved from duty, and granted a leave of absence of thirty da: The General intends to resign his cominieslog in the army to go into business. MUSTERING OFFICE. Major La Motte, Chief Mustering Officer of this Department, between the Ist of May, 1885, and the 20th of October, 1865, mustered out of the military service of the United States, 2,376 officers, and 61,739 enlisted men. CUBRENCY I8svE. During the past week the amountof currency issued by the Treasury Department was $2,951,575. For the week ending Saturday the amount of fractional currency destroyed by the Redemption burean was $349,900. GOVERNOR PARSONS, Gov. Parsons, of Alabama, arrived here yes- terday. He had a protracted interview with the President to-day relative to affairs in that State. The Governor says Georgia will send a full delegation to Congress. —\—ore+—_.

Morgan and Bradley, jr., for the defense, and Assistant Distriet Attorney Wilson for the prosecution, ) the agg ame BA being sworn :—Frederick Meyer, Donak eCathran, John L. Fowler, John Ball, Henry Thorn, John Scrivener, M. R. Coombs, Richard L. Ross, Edward Deeble. bony E. Jacobs, W. H. Langley, William The facts of the case are about as follows, according to the dying statement of the de- : Burgess was gunning in a skiff, and near the Magazine rowed ashore to where Smith was, and getting out with an oar in his hand, when a scuffle ensued, during which Burgess got Smith's gun, and the latter got the oar, and Burgess attempted to get an aim on Smith, the latter with the meal oni oon 3 the weapon. Smith was at last for in the water waist deep, and Burgess got aim and fired, the load of shot entering the bowels. Burgess alleges that Smith killed his coz, which caused the affray, and that the shooting was accidental, Smith striking the hammer of the gun with the oar, causing it to explode. The case will probably occupy to-day and to-morrow. - ACCIDENTS IN THE SEconD Wanrn.—Peter Brooks, colored, while intoxicated, yesterday shot anothernamed Moses Dixon, tearing away the two middle fingers of his left hand.

Brooks imme- diately obtained two surgeons toattend Dixon, and he is doing very well.
