It will be recoi- lected that “some of the partic have published a st nuthort : the milttary comma himself sgarst these allegation: ™ bas saked aud received authority to pu' an agegnnt of bis doings, mM, caused & great dei! of *, whieh ultmately assumed the form political cautroversy.

They were placed in a “sweat box.” They were allowed to remain bere thirty-three hours, curing which ume they were nearly suffo- cated, and again questioned, but with nosuc- cess, The prisoners having written letters com- Plaining of she small size of the celisin which they were confined, they were forwarded w the commanding ceneral, who shortly after gave instructions that “if these pnaoners will ive bonds not to attempt to escape, or to hold imtercourse with ny persoms but such as are authorized by the commander of the sub-dis- trict of Georgin, the prisoners can be removed to the officers’ quarters and be made as com- riable as is consistent with their being under surveilance. ~ of the released jouers is : arrested withou davit or Tant, or charge, and Were not permitted to fer with counsel or friends. The report upon (ais pont shows that in the first instance, and forsome days. the order was that the pris- oners be wot permitted to comverse with any persons whatever; but that at a later period they were allowed to conter with counsel. ‘The report shows further thai, sfter the ar- s bad been made. on tle wth of June jas: ral Meade informs General Grant and 1 Secretary of War tha: upon leaving Wasiii ton he was of opipion that etvil prisoner- might and should be turned over to the civi! authorities upon the admission of the State, but the dey lopments of the Ashburn murder case Baye modiiled this opinion, and he thinks at all military commissions pending when the State is admitted should be carried ont by the m litary authorities, and asks if Congress ety chon in t Four days prior to the foregoing commanica- ton, namely, on the 26th ot June, Gen. Meade sept fo the Secretary of War tue following com- munication: “1 deem st of the utmost import- ance not only for the ends of justic», but for my personal vindication. that the Ashburn mur- derers should be tried by military commission, and 1 have accordingly ordered the trial for Monday uext. Betore going North I retained Ex-Geov. Joseph Brown as counsel for the Government. I deem bis services of great im- pertance, not only for his legal ability, but for the iatiuence bis position in the State will give the prosecution. He has been actively em- ployed during my absence, but to-day, on my asking him W bat bis fee would be, he rephed five thousand doliars. I stated I did not feel authorized to pay such an amount without the sanction of superior authority. He expressed bis willingness to withdraw and not to com- munica'e any information he bad obtained.” Gen. Meade then advises the employment of Governor Brown. in vew of the importance of the cxse amd the fear that the defendants would hire him, and concludes by saying the evidence is of the most positive kind, and i-avew no ground to doubt the comviction of the principal actors.

Washington News and Gossip, THR Brack Crook as A Monat Lussox.— The Intelligencer is quite enthusiastic over the “Black Crook,” and amongst its good points notes one that bas not been touched upon be- fore, we believe, The splendid physicai de- velopment which is seen in the ballet troap> ligencer as affording a most yal- uable lesson to parents and teachers. The In- teltgeacer writer, who seems to have given the matter some study, contrasts the saperb limbs of the ballet performers with the frail, hag- gard, and bony structures which are so abun: ant in our famihes and schools, and argues that there isa greatand painful detect in the system of physical traiming to which we snb- ject our children, end e=pecially our girls. To those who justly estimate the importance of a sound mind ina sound body—mens sana in co. ore sano—this is neither a new subject of re- tection, nor one of little gravity, adds that paper. The Intelligencer takes the right idea of the matter, Some people have abstaine@ trom going to see the “Black Crook,” under the mis- taken idea that there was something improper bout it; but this notion has been dispelled by be concurrent testimony of all who have seen ‘The dressesof the young ladies are nothing like as short as report had given out, and the performances are characterized by propriecy And good taste; much more so, im fact, than the usual rum of ballet performances. So every- body may feel safe in going to witness the Black Crook;” and parents and teachers, as Stkgested by the Inteliicencer, would do well to take front seats, supplied with good lorgnettas, 0 that they cau derive full benefit from the lesson afforded by thesplendid physical deyei- opment of the ballet girl Tum Intrexst Revesve Improcuo0—a Persons al ExcounTer—A difficulty occurred atthe Astor House, in New York city, on Tuesday evening last, between District At- tarney Couriney, of that city, and Hon. John M. Binckley, Solicitor of Internal Reveaue, who has been in New York for several days | past engaged in ferreting out alleged frauds upon the Revenue Bureau. It seems that Mr. Binckley, who is stopping at the Astor House, sent a message to the District At- torney requesting the presence of that official at the hotel. Mr. Courtney responded, and upon entering Mr. Binckley’s room was a costed by Mr. B. with “ Well, Mr. Atzorne: side of this ease do you pro- pese te appear to-morrow 1 (meaning the investization against Messrs. Rollins, Harlan, and others.) Mr. Courtney, it is said, retorted, “ou d—d fool, 1 don’t want anything todo with you in this or any other case.” Some words ensued, and Mr. Courtney attempted to leave the room, but Mr. Binckley rushed to the door to prevent him, and in closing the door caught the finger of Mr. Court- ney. This led to a persona! encounter, in which it is said Mr. Binckley came off second best. The belligerents were separatal by a deputy marshal, who happened to be near, be- fore either Was seriously tnjared.

But this Absence of reaction to any consulerable ext is caused by the fact that im all of these cou #s the negroes are in an overw! ing ma- jotity, sometimes three to one, as in Houston, Wilkes, and ethers. As not more than a third of them will vote the Democratic ticket. two out of ves three negroes that you speak to are i y Radical. The chances are that ou election day the Conservative darkies throughout the black belt will be marched to the polls flanked on either side by white men wellarmed.

INTERESTING FRoM AFRICA—A dispatch re- ceived atthe Navy Department this morning, itom Commander William N, Jeffries, of the U.S. steamer Swatara, dated Lisbon, Portu- gal, April 28, 1863, gives a report of the late cruise of that vessel on the coast of Atrica; bay- ing sailed from Toulon, tor that coast, on the Sth of February Iast, and reached Monrovia on tbe 2sth of February, when he called upon the President of that colony, and tound evi- mees of the success of the atempt to plant civilization in Atrica; though he thinks that there is a great need of capital. Another drawback has been that the greater part of the immigrants have not been agricultural laborers, too many were from Northern cities and of mixed blood, and bemmg unable to stand the climate resort to trading with the natives tor support. For this reason Liberia does not raise sufticient suitable food to support the immigrant population, and they actually import it from the United States, ‘The Soutvern plantation laborers succeed well. Oonyersing with some of the leading members of the Government on the questions now agi- tating our own country Commander J. found ‘Bem “unanimously of the opinion that uni- to emancipated negroes injudicious, using the argu- ment, “We do not allow natives among us to vote unless they have been educated im our scbools, believing them to be no more competent to understand the limited questions of internal and external poficy of this inde Republic, than the comparatvAly unedu- cated colored masses at home, (they allallade t9 America as bome,) are abie to understand your numerous and complicated ones.” Com- taander Jeflrivs thinks that if any impression is to be made on Arica. it will be through this colony, which seems to be based on christian- iging and moralizing principles; while ali the ofber ectablishmer:ts are based on trade in rum, gunpowder, and muskets.

San FRANCIscO, Sept. general Halleck furnishes reliable information im regard to ex- isting abuses in Alaska, which were made the subject of a special investigation during bis recent visit to the Territory. Much dissatis- faction among the natives arises from the fact that while the old Far Company carried on a sort of patriarchal government, taking charge of everybody aud everything’ in the settle. ALASKA. ment, under the new rryine people are thrown upon thier own resources and donot, yet understamd the change, The immediate introduction of a number of strange White traders, adventurers, and sol- diers, had a bad effect on the semi-civilized community of Alaska; as the habits of the new comers and their mettod of civilizing the na- lives often take the form of imstructing them in vice. General Halleck dii not find it neces- sary to court-martin! any officer,althongh many changes will probable have to take place bue fore matters will work smoothly. It is said that Hutchinson, Reha & Uo,, are successors to the ‘Russian Fur’ Co. in the ocenpation of builmng. which. apparently by the treaty, should belong to the ted States. Hat if wrong has been done the Government it has been done by Prince Waksentoff, the recognized agent of Russia, who delivered the property in ques- tion to Hutchinson & Co, instead of to General Roseeau, the agent of the United States, It is also reported thatthe men and their families who leit the place, presuming that actions of removal would be brought against them, will soon be sent from Sitka to Kedeak aud the Amoor river; bul, as far as the miliary knew, they ‘need’ not to. bave removed wgunst their will. there Was no violence used to get them aboard Itisevident that Hutchinson & Co.'s agents are striving tw impress the natives with the idea that the new company encceeded to all the rights of their pred-cessors.

A Negro the Criminal.—Brookfield, Coun. , was the scene of a fearful crime on Friday last. A negro suspected of being one who bad just been let out from jail in Danbury, called atthe house ofa Mr. Wildman, in Brookfield, and finding no one at home but Mrs. Wildman, seized her and attempted to y1olate her person’ The house being atsome distance from any neighbors, it was some time before her screams for help could be heard. At last, a woman heard them, and proceeded to the house, when sbe was met at the door by the demon, and struck senseless by a large stone. He then re- turned to his victim, and aftera severe strug- gle, in which he choked her until the blood came trom her eyes, ears and nose, he accom- lished his hellish purpose and decamped. ‘he woman Who went to the assistance of Mrs. Wildmam, baving recovered, gave the alarm, and very soon a crowd of excited neighbors ‘were gathered and the woods and coun searched. The negro #As seen, but manag: to escape. Mrs, Wildman, who was enciente, lingered for six hours.

A meeting of the President and directors o; fee Balymore and Obio Railroaa Company took place yesterday, at which President Gar- Tett made a statement, in which occars the fol- lowing in reference to the recent disastrous ood. &c: Tegion affected by the flood empraced a distance of thirty-seven miles of the main stem, viz: from Lichester te Monrovia. No damage resulted to the company from the condition of the Monocacy river, and the Poto- Yoac was not affected. The whole loss and in- terfereuce with the line rose from the condition @f the Patapsco and its afiluents. Whilst the dumage was undoubtedly great, yet by the thorough and accurate repor: from the road de- partment itis found that the full estimate of the entire losses upon the line, including the Testoraton of the embankments, bridges, cul- verts, and all other structares, not only to the condition iu which the road was prior to the fi-od, but to a condition materially improved, ‘will amount to 3142450, instead of the two or three millions of dollars as alleged by parties who apparently have other than public inter- fei to subserve. | The damage did not prove ‘0 be without compensation, of to involve much Absolute loss. On the contrary, as the road ‘Was interrupted so ax to prevent the passage of trains for twelve days, the company took ad- vantage of the oppor‘uuity to make large and important improvements upon the line. Iu five cases of magnitude and special importance, the most difficult curves upon the Patapsco buve been relieved, and the line so straigh:- ened 2s to add materially to ecomomy and fa- eility in working. Advantage was taien ct the opportunity to effect desirable changes afforded by the cessation of running of trains, and Wherever experience showed that curvatures, etc. could be improved, the necessary cost was incurred to secure such permanent benefits.”* Mr. Garrett then refers to the statements Published regarding a vast decrease an rev- enue, which are characterized as uatruthfal, and the statement proceeds as follows: —» For July, 1 the aggregate revenue of the road And branches was $= 44. For the same BALT s Month in 1-6, $770,608.29. In Augast, 1-67, the ageregate revenue was $810,616.92, and in Au- Bust, 186, $7 ) IMAking the aggrezate 72244 difference for the two months of but 8! Tus the entire difference in the revenue, bined with the cost of the restoration and marked improvement of the line and bridgys, Will be less than $213,4), @ recult that makes quite ridiculons the assertion uttered by rival and adverse interests that the Baltimore and Obio Company would be compelled to aban- don the line on the Patapsco.

During the past season a route which branch from the Metropolitan line near Gs ersburg, and extend to Laurel, has been ex- amined. 1t has been ascertained that this route Will be about four miles shorter te Baltimore, and thatit affords other advantages.

The disease, they state, origi- xated with tne Texas cattle, and is seriously aggravated by driving or transportation. it 18 hotmecessarily fatal to the cattle. The pre- Ventstive means taken have so completely sup- pressed the marketing of infected cattle, that the commissioners think meat now sold 1 healthier than before the outbreak of the dis ease. Ata special meeting of the board ot Hebrew ministers of Philadelphia, held September 7, 11 Was resolved that owing to the existence of a disease among cattle, the shochatum (killers) be instructed to examine carefully, together with the lungs, the entire entrails of all animals slaughtered for the use ot Israelites. The cattle plague has appeared in Kentucky, and Gov. Stevenson on the 2d instant, issued proclamation forbidding the importation of ca Ue for the next sixty days trom any State ot locality where the diseasa Is prevalent. The Chicago Republican of Monday says: “The cattle disease 1s now abating. The specific poison, whatever it was, which pre- vaded the system of those unsound cattle 1s now yielding to medical treatment. and any cattle in the neighborhood of Chicago affected by the disease are in a fair way of being cured by proper treatment ” Tae WickEpest MAN ExXpmRrences REti- G10%.—At the noonday prayer meeting held in Jobp Allen's dance-house yesterday, Allen an- nounced that he had experienced religion, and would hereafter lead the life of a Christian Tasn.
