Butler during the war. ims | by means Of his former address to reach hin @ letter was written to the “Statesman of Essex,” asking whether he could indicate his whereabouts. To this General Butier replied “The officer in question has been dead ten years, and I reverently believe he is in heaven;” A similar case, involving one of the same staff, came up to-day, and a letter was addressed to the General desiring to know whether the officer “had gone on the same expeditio: Meanwhile the answer of the General is awaited with much solici- tude, as the other may have taken the de- fecting road. Corcoran Gallery of Art. NEW CASTS ON EXHIBITION—PERMISSION TO COPY THE PICTURES AND DRAW FROM THE CASTS IN THE GALLERIES. The following interesting casts, recently received from Rome by the Corcoran gallery of art, are now On exhibition there :—Statues of Meleager, Flora and Pudicitia from the antique, and a fine cast (the only one in this country) of the famous Clytie, by Rinehart, the original marble statue of which is now in the Peabouy Institute, Baltimore; bust of Menelaus, Belvedere Torso, and an Etruscan arm—a fragment. The heroic figure of Me- leager is fanked by bis hound and the head of the boar slain by him. The Flora and Pu- dicitia are robed statues of the purest grace and dignity. The Belvedere Torso, repre- senting Hercules in repose, was the favorite study of Michael Angelo, who made use of its traits In his figure of St. Bartholomew in his Last Judgment; and it is said that in his last days, when his sight was dimmed, he loved to explore its grand lines with trem. bling fingers. The Menelaus is remarkavle for its martial bearing. The Etruscan Arm isone of those striking fragments of Her- culean mould so abundant in Rome, and Suggestive of the mighty colossal form of which it formed a part. “Last, but far from least, is the cast of Rinehart’s Clytie, now filling the long vacant.maroon niche in the small gallery where stand the Venuses of Canova, Thorwaldsen and Gibson. The vis- itor can now study the comparative merits of these standard forelgn types of the nude feminine form with the new American vision just lighted in their midst, to contest the palm of artistic supremacy. Leaning against & tree-stump entwined with the sunflower, Clytie’s lovely head and bust droop pen- sively as she sadly holds in her right hand a sunflower, emblematic of her vain passion for Apollo. This beautiful cast will eventu- ally be placed in the center of the room, in order that its beauty may be seen from every point of view. » the above list of new casts the art stu- deat will recognize @ variety of choice sub- jects, Unat places the collection 0” the Corco- ran galley of art still higher, as unrivalled for its number and classic character. It may be mentioned that the arrangements for allowing persons to copy pictures and draw from casts tn the gallery are now com- pleted, and applicants for the privilege can &L once enjoy it on signing @ copy of the necessary regulations furnished by the cu- rator. A Riot In TENNESSE! A dispatch from Clarksville, Tenn., says that two Irishmen, named Conners and Jeffcott, attacked a col- ered boy with a knife on Saturday night. The next morning a body of about twenty hegroes attacked the two Irishmen and ran them into a grocery, whence they were after- ward taken by the police to the station house for safety. The same night the negroes as- saulted the Frocery with pistols, stones ani axes, and almost demolished the builting. Several disreputable houses were mobbed, also, and the alarm-bell rung.” While the police were investigating the alarm frients of the Irishmen broke down the door of the calaboose and set them free.

Drift-Wood the Coast of Maine. Correspondence of The Star. PENORSCoT Bay, June 7, 1575. “About this time,’’ as the old almanacs used to say, the columns of the Maine newspapers teem with trouting items. When the leaf of the maple is the size of your thumb-nail it istime to get out your fishing gear and be- take yourself to the” nearest trout brook. So the jolly editor of the Belfast Journal in- forms bis readers; and what he does not know about piscatorial pursults is not worth learning. Indeed, 1 am told that all the Maine editors wield the trout-rod as skiil- iully as they do the pen, and with more im- mediate profit. Listen toone of them sing the praises of bis favorite pastime: ‘ ‘Every season has its delights. To the fly- fisher after s] 2ckled trout, the spring is most joyous. How be dreams of it in winter, and as he thinks of the green fields, the pig soon brook, the kine at pasture, the tleecy clouds above, the balmy air of spring, and the flowers and merry songstera he feels with the poet who apostrophized the cuckoo, which is said to have ‘no sorrow in its song, no winterin its year!’ Then, ‘Hail to the spring-time and the hills! Hall to thé mea‘tows and the fog ! Hail to the gorges and rills ! s All hail the trout ‘neath yonder log! Have good care, That's his lair; Heigh-ho, hop, Flip, flap, flop” ” Another rural editor records “the first catch” at Pleasant Ridge—“two anglers catching 233 nice oues in about three hours. They fished off the shore of the pond, and threw the trout into a two-foot snow drift to cool.” Does not that sound refreshing? FLOUNDERS, ETC. Ihave not yet tried my hand at trout fish- ing, but have made two hee i among the flounders—an excellent pan-fish, by the way. The first day I had bad luck. As I hauled my first flounder into the boat my line partad just above the hook, and that damage was no Fooner repaired than I found myself adrift, with the wind blowing haif a gale olf shore. My cable had parted company with the rock I had used for an anchor. However, I found asmall boulder in the boat which had been used for ballast, an dropping that over was soon riding securely. y next haul was a raseally sctlpin, which broke my only hook, and so I had to pull for shore. The next day I was better prepared, and in the course of an hour caught nearly two dozen good-sized tiounders. Tomcods should be biting now, though I eaught none; but the canner,” or sea perch, does not abound until later in the season. Cod and haddock were @ plenti- ful In this bay, but are rarely caught now near the shore, as formerly. © Indeed, the Relfast fish market fs mainl, ee from Portiand. Salmo pally taken this vicinity, and further eastward they a netted in considerable quantities. I dine on one the other day which had been out water but a few hours, and found it exce lent, which is rarely the case with any ki of fish that has been carried a long distance, no matter how packe THE WEATHER (never-failing theme) 1s delightful, though the farmers are grumbling because we haye bad no rain save a few passing showers for three weeks. A drouth at this season, and in this latitude, is as remarkable in its way as the exceedingly cold winter, which trans- formed the blue bay before me into one huge ice field. A good rain now would kelp veg- etation, though the grass is emerald green and studded with yellow dandelions and white strawberry blossoms, and the apple trees, In their white and pink blossoms, “look like huge boulders of strawberries and cream.” [I borrow this simile from a Blue- nose editor with whom I once upon a time made a tour of the“Garden of Nova Scotia.”) The mornings here are quite warm, but in the afternoon brisk breezes blow from the southward or eastward, and if from the lat- ter direction they are cooled by passing over distant banks of fog that have not as yet come near enough to make their presence disagreeably felt. The south wind brings resinous scents from pine and spruce-clad hills and the perfumes of clover, a host of buds and blossoms, and of all kinds of vege- tation. The seasons are so short here that things grow rapidly when they do grow, and Just now the landscape is at its greenest. Of the ever changing water view I dare not trust myself towrite. Words are inadequate to filly picture it. Itisa never-failing feast for an observant eye, and beautiful alike in sunshine, twilightor moonlight. Two weeks hence—to descend from poetry to prose— bathing will be in order, and a ew zest will then be added to life by the seaside. CONCERNIN| RTER. Iam indebted to a writer in the Republican for much valuable information concerning one Robert Carter, author of a “Summer Crnise;” but he need not have coupled it with reflections on my jnvenility, what I had @lready confessed. “It is perhaps my misfor- tune that I was not born a quarter of a cen- tury or so earlier, and that I have never made the acquaintance of Mr. Carter, but while I can understand the partiality of a friend toward the book in question, I see no reason to change my opinion ofit. It isa pleasant volume, but added nothing to nat- ural science, as its author seemed to trink— judging from his preface. Hé very properly, however, credits Perley for most of his sci- entific information. PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL. If Shaw has not stamed-for Europe ask him to give my regards to the Prince of Wales, whom I met in 'W, and to Prince Napoleon, whose acquaintance I made in '61. I hope he will also Speak a good word for “the boys” to the crowned herds of Europe, and tell him not to forget his native language. It would be shocking to have the Nestor on his return talking about the bong (tong and calling the waiters at Welcker's garsongs. PILSBURY. MISSES MINNIE AND LILLIAN CoNWAY, of the Brooklyn Theatre, were ordered to appear this morning before Judge Moore, in he county court, to testify in regard to their property, a dry goods firm having obtained a judgment against them for $158. Their counsel, however, announced that the bill had been privately settled, and_so further proceedings were unnecessary. On Tuesday argument is to be heard before Judge Gilbert on 4 motion for @ permanent injunction to restrain the sisters from disposing of the scenery in the theatre, to the management of which they have succeeded. ¥.

ANOTHER MINER’S STRIKE.--A Pottsville (Pa.) dispatch says that since the resumption look place at the mines there have been signs of discontent among the miners in the em- ploy of individual coal operators against the ten per cent. reduction. Themenaver that a compromise would be more just toall parties concerned. There was no strike inaugurated until yesterday, when the miners turned out at St. Clairtoaman. At Wadesvilleall the outside laborers struck. The collieries at both places are owned and operated by individual enterprise. and give employment to a large number of men and boys.

A Great Display of Suscie in Pros- pective. The inter-collegiate regatta, which begins at Saratoga to-day with the race of the fresh- man crews, promises to excite an interest and attendance never before equalled on American waters. In the freshman’s race four crews will contest for the victory, whilst in the university race to come off to- morrow, the picked crew of thirteen colleges Will contend for the ze. The regatta committee of the graduates have been working zealously to have every- thing in readiness on the days set down for the events. The new course has been buoy- ed, so that each crew will be confined to its own water, which innovation will no doubt prove of great value in preventing a repeti tion of last gerry fouling, while at the same time it will do away with all kinds of pekeyng. which can never elevate the pas- time in the eyes of those who wish a “fair race and no favor.” Late advices lead to the belief that every detail in the matter of pro- viding greater facilities’ for reaching the lake has received that attention demandcd, and that, so farashuman judgment ean form conclusions, there is every reason to believe that many annoyances of last year will be done away with’ and tators enabled to witness the race and get to and return from the scene of the struggle with much comfort. THE FRESMMAN RACE. In the freshman race, which comes off to- day, the four colleges entered are Cornell, Brown, Harvard and Princeton. The Cor- nell crew was chosen at thesame time as the university, and bas faithfully shared in all the training of the others, both in the gym- poner and on the lakes. The crew is as fol- lows: Height. Weight. Palmer, bow.. 5.06 140 Smith, p. bow. 6.01 160 Grave, 8. waist. 5.09 165 Camp, 5.096 155 Cary 5.10 no Lewis, stroke. seee 5.09 160 The Brown boys, who were picked out by Bradbury and Brown, and trained, or coached, by Mr. Luther, are in good trim, as follows: Freight.

This is the crew: Height. Weight.

The bow oar is short, shorter than any other oarsman on the lake, but he pulls a very good oar and finds no difficulty in keeping his side of the boat up. The measurements of the crew are as follows: Height. — Weight. Thurston, bow 5.06 Ws McFarland, p. Hess, 8. waist. Van Lennep, p. w. Karge, 8. stroke. Stevens, stroke. THE UNIVERSITY CREWS, The thirteen crews entered for the Univer- sity race have been at Saratoga for several Weeks, and have undergone thorough train- ing and became acquainted with the course. Their weights are thus briefly sammed up:— Williams College, 155 to 174 pounds; Cornell University, 150 to 165 pounds; Amherst Col- lege, 148 to 163; Bowdoin College, 149 to 16 Brown University, 152 to 164; umbia Cc lege, 152 to 180; Wesleyan University, 142 to 194; Princeton, 154 to 188; Dartmouth Col- lege, 150 to 172; Hamilton College, 142 to Yale College, 152 to 163; Harvard, 158 to 176; Union College, 146 to 155. Harvard is one of the youngest and heaviest crews, while Yale and Wesleyan are among the lightest. Wil- liams is the os crew and Dartmouth the tallest, ee of the crew being over 6 feet high, and two others over 5 feet 11 incbes. Jp to the last few days the Yale crew have been the favorites, but an important point affecting the race is the recent ehange in their crew, Mr. Hall, a substitate, taking the place of Mr. Chandler as No. 2. As Yale's chances have declined Harvard's have gone up, whilst Columbia, Princeton and Dart- mouth have many sanguine backers. Cor- nell and Bowdoin are also said to be doing finely, and are not without hope of being found in front at the close of the contest. 5.09 ¥ 5.09% GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST THE PASTOI OF THE TWELFTH Baptist CHURCH, PUHILADELPHIA.—For several months past damaging rumors concerning the conduct of the Rey. Thos. Botts, tor of the Twelfth Baptist Chureh,on Richmond street, below Sbhackamaxon, have gained a wide circula- tion. A number of the members, to save the reputation of the church, and at the same time to give their pastor a fair trial, issued @ short time since a circular, a copy of which Was sent to each of the twenty-seven Baptist churches in the city, twenty-two of which answered the call and sent delegates. The circular says: ‘Dear Brethren: The under- signed, members of the Twelfth be. trad Church of Philadelphia, in Cw standing, five of whom are members of the board of trustees, and two are deacons of the church, feeling themselves aggrieved by reason of the unministerial conduct of the pastor, bis undue familiarity with certain ladies, want of truthfulness, and other matters by which the cause of Christ and our denomination are injured, desire that you will send your pastor and two brethren to sit in council With other sister churches, on Thursday afternoon, July 8, at 3o’clock, in the Twelfth Baptist Church, Richmond street, below Shackamaxon, to advise with us in refer- ence to our duty and course of action in vie of the facts which will then be presented.” The council met on Thursday afternoon in e church, and have conducted their pro- cecdings with closed doors.

New York, July 13.—Last night a num- ber cilizens of Peekskill and Beecher’s im- mediate neighbors, numbering in all about S00, and headed by @ band, proceeded to the summer residence of the Plymouth pastor. Judge Wells addressed Beecher, saying that those present had broken in upon his retire- ment for the purpose of giving expression to their confidence in him as @ manand as 4 Christian minister. BEECHER RESPONDING, SAID: “When I began my life I had no intention of being @ greatand eloquent and wise man but Idid mean to be a man honest man. I did mean to spend strength God gave me in making my fe men better. (Applause.) This has been my ambition. This Ihave done by the help of God. I make this assertion more emphatic, because not a few newspapers seem to think that Ihave done it by the help aud permis: sion OF NEWSPAPERS, but I havedone it in spite of them. I don’t ask that they should eare for my future. My future is in the keeping of the Lord God, to whom my mother directed me, and I should like to Know who is going to stop my mouth with a muzzle; my hand, that I cannot write, if it is given to me to Say things which men want to hear, and to write things which make men betier? Every man thatis aman that has help and courage and pa- tience, and that is right at heart and head, has his future in his own hands. (Applause. Jask no better issue; and I ask no advan- } tages, SIMPLY, LET ME ALONE, and I will take care of the rest. You have attended. sir, the trial through which I have gone. Well, I left thay behind me so lon: ago that I feel as the Israelites would hay felt when after going over Jordan some on had talked of the misery of the Red sea ps sage. I went through the Red sea, bui it along time ago. The tact is, gentlemen, that about 1870 and ‘71, and for three or four years, I had to go through pretty dé ters at times, but I kept it to myself. Reve- lation of it to mankind came within a year, but I had got through it. Iam receiving scores and hundreds of letters, couched in Most earnest and affectionate condolence for THE FIERY TRIALS through which I am going, but bless you the ashes of that fire were scattered long ago. 1 am gaining in strength and elasticity of body. Iamall right. (Applause.] The let- ters I have received from Baptist clergy- men, from clergymen in the ministry of the Episcopal church, and especially letters and messages from Roman Catholic priests, been among the most Christian expressions tendered me. Fa @ these letters. [ have received such tokens from every denomina- tion of the Christian church and from in- dividual Christian members of every sect. more than that I know I have been the sab ject of more prayer than any man on the face Of the globe. NOW AS TO THE FUTURE. I have no new course to take. I am too old to change my position. The expenses of the trial have been enormons; enough to bank rupt a country ministry (glancing at the three or four ministers in the crowd) five times over, and would have destroyel me but for Plymouth chureh, and even with their help I'shall barely get through, for th expenses of the trial to me have been over $75,000, On the otber side they have been very large, but they have got no money to pay them With.
