It is stated that the sprech of @ student ata recent com- ™mencement caused Gen. Pope to take steps to- ward closing up the institution and con vert! ir into a barracks, but through the exertions of Chancellor Lipscomb tne exercises were al- lowed to be continued, on cendition, as it is alleged, that the press of the State should not refer to the matter. 1t is also stated that Gen. Pope has ordered an appropriation of $#,000 whisk ‘was mage by the Legisiature to be with- eld. The freedmen of the first and fourth dis- tricts of this State are out in addresses to their fellow-citizens, irrespective ot color, as can- didates for Congress. They claim that the Tight to vote gives them the right to hold of- fice, and as they are in the majority, whites sBall not be elected by their votes. Their candidates are conservatives, and in favor of universal amnesty. It 1s the impression that a large number of the whites will vote for the blacks in preference to whites who can take the test oath. ‘Gen. Pope has issued orders temporarily re- yoking se much of his yury order as interferes with the present term of the civil courts, asthe registration lists are not completed. White jurors will be permitted to serve exclusively, provided they have registered. SrirRitep Base BaLy Matcu—Baltimore vs. New York—Pastime Club the Victor.—Balumore ‘was visited yesterday by the Mutual Base Ball Club of New York, fresh from their victory over the Nationals of Washington. They were accompanied by 8 number of iriends whe had been on a visit to Washington. They arrived yesterday morning, and were met at the Oam- den depot by the Pastime Club of this city, whose guests they were. During the earlier rt of tbe day they visited im parties, under the guidance of their hoste, several points of imterest about the city, and in the afternoon a match game between the visiting club, which ranks among the first m New York, and the Pastime, took place on the grounds of the Iat- ter, on Madison avenue, and was attended by & gathering of ladies and gentlemen larger, perbaps, than ever heretofore attended a base ball game in this city. At least four thousand people were estimated to be present, the Ma ison avenue front as well as the portion of the grounds bordering on Linden avenue being crowded with people. Behind the crowds on either avenue, vehicles of varieus descrip- tions presented long line of spectators all eagerly interested in the game. Shortly after two the contest began, and continued fer more tban three bours, ending in a result totally uniookea tor—a victory for the Pastime club by a majority of 16 rans, the score of the Pas. time being 47 runs to the Matual’s 31. The play throughout was excellent, that of the Pas- Time surpassing by far any of the preceding efforts of the club. The New Yorkers changed their men on their posts several times in order to better their play, but all in vain, the excel- lent batting and extraordinary successfal fielding of the Pastime winning the game. At the close hearty cheers were given for the Mn- tual and the Pastime. Some of the members ofthe Mutual stated that the defeat served them right, as, confident of victory, they had left four of their best players off and substi- tuted others. The opinion was also expressed that the defeat Rere might also effect the con- test for the championship of the country, which takes place between the Mutual and Athletic in’ Philadelphia to-day.

Editor Star: When yesterday on my daily Tounds, I ealled at the house of one of my patrons, the followimg Conversation ensued’ and hoping it will be of interest to some of your readers, J take the liverty to communi- cate it to the public through your valuable per : Pear Doctor,” said the woman, “we have been anxionely looking for you these last two or three days, because one of our neighbors had a sick child, for which she wished to con- sult you; but it died this morning. The chil- dren are dying very fast; there Rave, to my knowledge, during the Jast forty-eight hours, gt least four or five death cases occurred in this neighborhood.” “What died they of?” “They died al) of summer complaint. They suffered much trom severe diarrhea, and some ‘with vomiting, too. The teething takes a great many of the poor chilaren away in this man- ner.” “The Core ec Tytepiied, ot hod ‘woman, you bring jus! same ol up ry st’ the Creator which Adam used whea Lord made search for his iniquity; he said: ‘The woman which thou gavest me to be with me, she gave me of the treé’ So you say; the teeth which the God of Nature is about to give the child made it so sick that it died. ‘Would it not be a shocking cruelty of the Creator to make the teeth, wRich the child must necessarily have for its future existence, the cause of its destraction? 1 admit that Natare, in her evolutions and developments, is sometimes stormy, explosive and may be destructive; yet those cases are rare, at least not 0 frequent as is generally thought, and which we are pleased to adopt, in order to have a soothing cloak for our own error, ig- morance, neglect or lightmindéedness. Teeth- ing is always accompanied with a greater ac- tivity of the vital process, particularly in the Jaws, and of course with liability to congestion ‘of blood to the head; this in its progression may cause a fever, and this again may devel- op ipflamation of the brain or its invoincrums; the consequence of such congestive states may be accumutation of water in the head. or in the various cavities of the brain. To meet such extremes, Nature often causes & diarrhea, to act derivatory from the brain, which througn neglect may destroy the life of the little suffer- er. Other consequences of dentition may he convulsion, even lockjaw. but such cases are extremely rare. The most frequent cause of fatal diarrha and cholera imfantun is the in- jucicions nourishment of infants. A babe should never be fed with any substantial food, unless itis supplied with {ts complete set of teeth, to enable it to chew and masticate, and thus pre: are the nutriments for digestion. The food of the adult ts first masticxted and under admixture of the saliva, partly decomposed, then con veyed into the stomach, when it is con- verted into abomogeneous pulse, which we call chyme, theo in the intestines under the admixture of the bile and the salivary secre- tion of the large abdominal saliva gland it is converted into chyle, which through thou: ands or millions of follicles and glands passe: into the absorbing vessels and trom thence in- to the milkduct, which carries it under the name of milky juice into the blood, from which ell parts of the body are supplied with their peculiar restoratives. All this circumstantial and tortuons precess ia not necessary in infan- tile digestion; milk being already introduced, which to its larger part may be readily ab- sorbed; therefore the stomach and the whole digestive apparatus may be properly compar- ed with 3 sponge, which imbibes the liquid as soon as it comes in contact with it. The cor- rectness of this theory is plausible from the fact that a bealthy mother, absent from her ebild for an unusual length of time, may re- leve her breast by drawing @ cup full of milk from each breast, which 1s generally done with great readiness. Two such cupfuils make a pint; it is therefore certain, that the child of three or four months of age,ateach ott's meals, gets at least a pint of milk. now, itcalls for Its meals at least 4, 5, or 6 times a day, the lowest estimate consequently would be two quarts of milk a day. Now, imagine to have two quarts of milk in a vessel before your eyes, and you will certainly think it a quanti- ty too much for a child to consume in one day, especially when your purse should be con- cerned, and if the child must be raised without the mother’s breast ycu will think you must rive bim fomething substantial, as tea and crackers, &c. The consequence in such a case would be indigestion (dyspepsia) engorgement of tne lymphatic vessels and glands, scrotala with all {ts ruinous and fatal consequences. The more frequent evils of such an imprudent treatment of children 1s cholera infantum, intestinal consumption, or fatal diarrhoea. When the diarrhoea of an in- fant in its commencementis accompanied with a toatid, offensive odor, you may rest assured that it was caused by improper diet. People are so inconsiderate and light-minded, that they allow a babe to eat anything for which it stretches forth its little begzing hand, they would take It to the table and allow it to put anything in its mouth that comes within its reach: they will boast of the heartiness ofsnch a child thateats anything; nay, the women even advise each other to take the baby to the table and give it taste of everything they eat; that maxes, they say, a hearty child. The con- sequences ‘of such imprudence will bring, sconer or later, the sorest grief and distress to the parents. There are, however, other causes of diarrhoea in infants, as for instance, cold. Suffice it to state that the summer-heat makes the children perspire most freely,and when the perspiration is suddenly checked. the maucuous membranes of the alimentary canal assume the office of eliminating those wastes, which should be thrown off through the skin. The variety ot causes of diarrnoea being un- known to the mother, she often resorts to the mest conflicting remedies. and having thus experimented with every kind of patent medi- cines for some time in vain, they send for the doctor, who, on his arrival, finds the child in & state beyond recovery; so they soothe least their conscience with the illusion to have done everything that could be done, and if pos. sible, charge the medical profession with in- ability to cure, REacTion._The Richmond Whig combats the delusives hopes of a reaction at the North, which are so pers tly held out by & certain class or politicians atthe South. The Whig e are to pass this Fall, probably in Octo- ber, upon the question of calling 8 Convention. If we decline to call one, or if calling it we should adopt an unacceptable Uonstitution, or ‘f anything should he done or left undone by us that tails to give satisfaction toa majority of Congress, that body meets in November to sit all through the Winter and Spring, and will bave abundant time and power to arrange an- other plan of reconstruction, which new plan ‘We mBy rest assured will be less favorable than the one now offered ” ‘The Whig observes that this Congress holds until) March, 1869, and if by passivity, the South could stave off reconstruction until after that date, in hopes of having a new Uongress of a different complexion, that even in that cage the Senate would be hopelessly Republi- canand so defeat any plan the reactionists might desire to carry. OQHOLERA ImranTUM—When the Western ‘bound emigrant train stopped at Elkhart, Ind., on Saturday last,a womin jumped off from the care, and began toescream and cry, and rolled o' upon the platform, apparently in the last agonies of cholera infantum. A umber had by Dee time Gece polte ty) ry but as no one could understand her, ‘see! Sta loss what to do for the sufferer. Final- Ne ie wag in thecrowd, who wanted to tarn the matter into a little joke, cried ont, “cholera!” It was not long after this until the entire assemblage had dispersed in wild eon- iom. The lady was then conveyed toa room where, soon after the arrival of 8 doctor, the ceneus of the “independent State” was in- creased by a little chernb of German extrac- tion. Both mother and child are doing well and took the train on Monday to join their friends who preceded them on Saturday.—Cin- cinnati Gazette.

[Special correspondence of the Star.} Prnzy Pernt, Sunday, Aug. 25, 1967.—Ed- itor Star: After & pleasant trip of twelve hours I arrived bere on Wednesday eveming on the steamer Kennebec of the Potomac Trausporta- tion line. The steamer nad a large quantity of freight on board before leaving her wharf at Washington. At Alexandria more was taken aboard and at Aquia Creek there was an im- mense amount of produce which had been brought from Richmond and was destined tor Baltimore. Passengers and freight were land- ed and taken on at all the landings on either side of the river, thus proving thatthe Poto- mac Transportation line is a great public con- venience, and is well patronized. Capt. Joun H. Wilson,and his gentlemanly clerk, Mr. Cottingham, of the Kennebec,are both thorough business men and by their kind and soctal manner towards every one they have won slots of friendeandare very popuiar along the whole route. Upon onr arrival at Piney Point we found thesteamer Wawaset with an ex- cursion party from this city. A disturbance bad taken place among excursioniets while at the Point and Capt. Mitchell. pro- prietor, had ordered the party off, notifying them that he would have no disorderly con- auctor allow no more excursion parties to Jand there as it interfered witn his business and Was detrimental to the pleasure of bis guests, Shortly after the arrival of the Ken- Bebec, the steamer Oolumbia also from Washington, reached the wharf with a large number of passengers. Upon our arrivai at the Point we found a numberof Washingtonians, among whom were Jos. H. Bradley, Jr. and lady, Dr. Wm. A. Bradley and lady, John F. Ellis and lady, Dr. Wm. H. Coombs and lady, Wm. B. Webb and children, Joseph Redfern and lady, Sam’ T. Drory and lady, J. V. R. Towers, (Jack, ‘hos. V. Noyes, Wm. B. Reed, Mrs. Wm. A. Ward, Mrs. Lawrence J. O’Toole Miss Lan- caster, Mrs. Saunders, and others; Dr. R. Fer- guson, Miss M. Fergueon, Miss E. Ferguson, General Hugh Mitcheli, Miss Uassie Mitchell, the Misses Garner, Dr. James Thomas, R. J. Colton, and others, of Onarles county, Md. The Columbia brought down Lawrence J. O'Toole, Dr. Wm. Butt, Mr. T. ©’ Donnogue, Mies O'Neill, and Miss Lynch and others from Washington, Soon after the arrival of the boats supper was announced, and the supper room was soon filled. After supper the guests retired to the parlor, and about 9 o'clock the sound of music gave notice that the ball was being opened. Before 10 o’clock the room was crowded. and all seemed to enjoy themselves. Captain Billy Mitchell, the proprietor of the Point, is untiring in bis efforts to make his guests comfortable. The table is supplied with all the markets of Baltimore and Wash- ington afford. Fresh fish, oysters and crabs, justout of the river: vegetables. grown on the [ae in all making as nice table as can be. Japtain M. well knows how to keep a hotel, and his guests are loud in their praise of him. ‘The gentlemen arise about six in the morn- ing, and have a buf bath in the Potomac, some Gistance east of the hotel. Of course, on re- turning to the hotel, an appetizer is taken, and sometimes several before breakfast. After breakfast fishing and sailing parties up, and by nine o'clock the river ‘with canoes, with their triangular sails. The ladies’ bath takes place at half-past 11 o'clock in the morning, and from that time until one o'clock the beach is crowded with ladies and children in bathing costumes of various styles. The favorite fishing spot {s to the east of St. George’s Island, about six miles this side of Point Loekout, making it a pleasant sail of about nine miles from Pirey Point. The fish- ing is kept up until two o'clock, when the par- ties return to the Point and prepare for din- ner, which takes place at four o'clock. After dinner, strolls along the beach, sailing with the ladies, rowing, &c.,are kept ap uniil dark. Supper ts served at eight o'clock, atter which the dining-room is cleared, and the ball is opened. We have here a fine string band from Washington, and the dancing is continued every evening until past midnight. Every evening a large number of visitors from the neighborhood, mostly young persons, come to the Point for the purpose of attending the ball. By the way, 1 must not forget to mention a very amusing incident which occurred on Fri- day evening last. There were a number of visitors here from Charles and St. Mary’s counties, among them a gentleman named An- stip, who sported a feeble moustache, ant de- lighted in. changing his clothing several times during the day, and another named Garner, who was looked upon as a very quiet, unas: suming sort of gentleman. It appears that Austinand Garner met during tbe evening and after some words in an undertone, Austin exclaimed in an excited manner: «By G—d, I have no friends here, but I have pistole, and will meet you to-morrow morning at sunrise.” This, of course, drew a crowd, but the friends of the parties prevented any disturbance, but the matter was not allowed to rest. Soon the mischievous little Miss L—— of Washington, ran up, exclaiming, “Come here, Mr. Austin, I won't let any body hurt you.” This was too much for Austin, and he endeavored to beat a hasty retreat, but the firet thing which caught bis eye was Jack Towers. with Capt. Mitch- ell’s ducking gun, Sam Drury and Dr. Butt, each with old pistols, Bill Reed with a rifle, and others with clubs, knives, &c., affording an ample supply of weapons for duelling pur- pores. Austin could not stand this, and just As soon as possible he disappeared and noth- is more was heard of him until next morn- ing. Who stole that sheep head?” has been a question often asked ai Piney Point, but no one 18 able to answer. Capt. Mitchell has a stand- ing agreement with fishermen to purchase all the sheep head fish caught by them. The fisn are placed in a live box tied to the wharf, where they are kept until required for the ta: ble. A well known citizen of Washington, stopping at the Point, appeared in the office a few days ago and offered a fine sheep head which he averred he had caught. The Uaptain purchased the eame, paying therefor 40 cents, which sum was immediately invested in drinke, but upon Capt. M. going to the sheep head box to put the fish in it was found that one was missing, and be came to the conclusion that possibly he h~d paid for that fish twice. It is not known positively who robbed the box, but a profane cockney who inquired with some solicitude, + Who in the 'E// ¢s it stole the sheep head!” probably hit nearer the mark than he suppor ‘all street (named after William L. Wall, Esq.,) extends from the hotel to the western part of the point. On this street is the cottage occupied by John F. Ellis, which has been designated as Ellis’ Music Store. Last evening it was announced that the occu: its of “Row- dy Hall,” with the band, would serenade those who were to depart this morning. About one o'clock music was heard in front of Ellis’ “Store,” and several pieces having been played Mr. E. appeared and said :—«My friends, yon beve called upon me after 1 have packed my trunks to start to-morrow, and my whiskey is all put away. but I hope to meét you again beneath the jolds of the Star Spangled panner. Jack Towers ! Jack Towers! sing & eong will you.” Jack did not answer and Mr. E. retired amid thunderous applause. Rowdy Hall is located in the second story of the eastern portion of the hotel, and was occu- pied by Jack Towers, Tom Noyes, Dr. Butt, and Bill Reed. Dr. Butt was the “reguiator,” and was put in the room to make the boys con- duct themselves properly, which he partly succeeded In doing; but they were an unruly set, and it wasa difficult task for the Doctor. Ellis was the champion jig dancer at the Point, and was frequently called upon toshake bis foot while and Noyes kept time and Jack Towers whistied the mus! The at the Point was a jolly one, and Uapt.

Soon after the commencement of the last session of Congress 1 reported a bill from a committee of the House of Representa- tives which contained provisions prohibiting Temoval without consent of the Senate. It sed the House and was sent to the Senate. ‘he Senate struck it out and returned it to the House, which refueed to concur in the amend- ment. The result was a committee of conter- ence, where an animated contest ensued. There were several other questions in controversy between the houses which the House offered to yield if this could be granted. The Senate Perseveringly refused, declaring that they ‘would sooner lose the bill. As that would frustrate all our legislation it could not be al- lowed. The House yielded with a warning of the evil it could infirct upon the country.

The Nati The Work- 1 Labor Congress— ngm Party, &e In addition to the proceedings cf the Na- tional Labor Congress already reported by telegraph, we copy the following from the de- tailed reports of the proceeding: A resolution empowering the president of the National Union to authorize persons to or- ganize associ f workingmen to be con- nected with the National Union was adopted. The committce on negro labor, to which wi Tecommitted the report on that subject, re- ported that they had come to the conclusion that the constitution already adopted prevented the necessity of reporting on the subject; which was adopted. Resolutions were also adopted :—« That this Congress endorses and reiterates the resolution adopted by the National Labor Congress at Baltimore last year, to the effect that the speedy Testoration of the agricultural industry of the Southern States is of vital importance to the industrial classes of the North. That the speedy restoration of the Southern States to their proper practical relations in the Union is indispensnble to the restoration of their ag- ricultural prosperity. * A resolution endorsing the recent action of Congress on the tariff’ question was laid upon the table. A resolution was proposed by Mr. Peabody and adopted by the Congress: “That thie Con- grets recommend to the various national, ii ternagional and local unions more uniform o: ganization upon some plan by which the just rights and the misfortunes of those of each trade, and m any locality, may be noted and aseisted by all the trades organizations in the country The following resolution, providing for the organization of a national labor party, was of- fered by Mr. A.C.

A motion was made to strike ont in one of resolutions the wcrds “that no political, sec- tional, religious or other influences be allowed to be brought, directly or indirectly, into the mana t of said paper.”” Upon this mo- tion a debate took place, which lasted nearly two hours. It was contended by some mem- bers that the temperance movement was allied, in some measure, necessarily with political and religious influences, and that ultimatsly the power of the temperance movement must inevitably be brought to bear politically, in or- der toaccomplish its great objects, to be at- tained tbrough State legislation and the repeal of the laws licensing the sale of intoxicating liquors. lt was argued by other members that they muet, for the present, repudiate all idea of ex- ercising policeat influence, otherwise it would be a death blow to the success of the temper- ance movement. People had already began to cry ont that the convention was a move with a political object, and it was necessary to deny it inemphatic terms. The motion to strike Out was lost by yeas li, nays 15 A mo- tion to strike out the word “religions” was adopted without a division. The entire reso- lutions were then adopted. The following members were then appoint- ed the committee of seven under the resolu- tions: Rey. 1. Randolph Finley, Andrew J. Bowen, J. Lynch, John A. Applegarth, Thos. William W. Meeks, and U. L.

[From the Chicago Tribune.} A few weeks since it was stated in several ef the journals of this country that a great trote tung phenomenon had just been brought out at Paris The statement gave the time of the horse at 223, which was said to have been made without any previous training. The re- port was not believed on this side of the water, and wagers were freely offered that no such Performance bad been made. From a ge: tleman who has just returned from Paris, where he witnessed the trial, and who is of unquestionable veracity, we gather the fol- lowing: On the visit of the Czar to Paris he brought with him, among other objects of interest, a which, never having been trained, had devel- oped an extraordinary degree of speed. This was the horse Bedouin, an animalof Arabian blood cro-sed with Hollandstock. He has been in the Emperor's stables ever since foaling, and began to show the qualities of a trotier at seven years. When the Ozar went to Paris he took the stallion with him. In June last a trial was. made of the speed of the horse in the Bois de Bologne, in the presence of a large gathering ofthe turf. The track was a rounded rectan- gle, much the shape and size of one of onro dinary half-mile courses. Ina heavy Russian gig, Weighing 125 pounds, the groom of the sta) lion, 8 man weighing 185 pounds, drove the horse, which was very fleshy, and not by any means in good speeding condition, three times about the course in the timeof 4.47. The track ‘was measured by several gentlemen, curions to know the exact time, and was found to mea- “arly five-eighths of smile. The stal- therefore trotted a mile and seyen- eights at the rate of 223 to the mile. The effort waa at once made by a number of our Americans to purchase the horse, and Elias Howe, Jr., offered $100,000 for him, it is said. The Czar refused ‘to part with him. intending to keep him for breeding pur- poses. Bedouin is eleven years old, fifteen* hands three incbes in height, and weighed at the time of the above trial 1,130 pounds. He had a beau- tiful head, limbs clean and very strong, with a tail sweeping on the ground. It was though: that. in good conditicn, the stallion could trot 8 mile in 2.11 at least. Lay IN Your Ooat.—The Pottsville (Pa.) Miner's Journal says:—“The trade remains witbout improvement. In addition to the collieries that have been compelled to stop in consequence of the unremunerative prices now paid for coal, the late rains ‘drowned on’ a number, and it is likely that the shipment for some time will be light. One thing 1s cer- tam, coal has reached the lowest point in price which it can reach this season. Those who delay laying in coal in expectation of getting itat lewer figures ‘reckon without their host,’ for with many collieries closed the production will be lessened, and prices must advance as cold weather approaches.
