The Marshal has addressed a communica- tion to the Governor in response to the prociama- tion, stating that there are no bodies of armed men gathering in the moun’ains with a view to a military organization. General Johnston had promised pro- tection to emigrant trains going to California, and advised the emigrants to collect at some common point, when he would afford them an escort. The Indians were getting troublesome, running off with fovernment stock. A “hig blow,” or storm, did some damage in Salt Lake City and environs on the 16th ult. Captain Long, of the bark Union, arrived yester- day at Philadelphia, from Pernambuco May 16, re- ports tbat shipping in greatdewand at that port.

The new ian frigate General Admiral left this port yesterday, at three o'clock, for Cronstadt ‘The steamer James A.

The Board of Aldermen did not organize last evening fur want of a quorum. The Special Committee of the Common Counci appointed to out arrangements for celebrat- ing the approaching “Fourth” had no quorum at their meeting yesterday. An order was issued yesterday by Judge Roose. velt for e arrest of Edward Belkuap for alleged frauds on the Union Bank. Bail was fixed at $80,000. The trot between Flora Temple and Princess, three mile heats, to wagons, for $5,000, over the Helipse Course, took place yesterday afternoon, and was won by the former in two straight heats. Judge Campbell, of the United States District Conrt of Alabama, in his charge to the Grand Jury: spoke very strongly against the reopening of the slave trade. The inhabitants of Fayal are again ina starving condition. A meeting was held in Boston last night, at which one thousand dollars were sub- scribed for their relief, and a committe pointed to solicit subscriptions The gates of lock No. 25, near Theorald, on the Welland Canal, were c d away yesterday even- ing. The rush of water caused the embankment to give way, and the surrounding country was fFubmerged with water, doing great damage to the grain fields.

The enhanced views of holders bad a tendency somewhat to rotard_/ transactions, and at tho clo:e they seemed to be unwilling to meet buyers frecly at the quotation given above. The flour market was beavy and lower, and closed at a de- cline of about ec. a 10c. per bbI., especially for common grades of State and Weetern, while the transactions were light. Southern brands were ulso heavy and cheaper, with moderate sales. Wheat was quiet and nominal. Corn wes heavy, whiie quotatioas were without change of moment.

The Charieston Conavention—Movements of Fernando Wood. \ While the Albany Regency aud their co-labor | ers among the «: ms of Tammany Hall are | consoling themselves with the idea that they will | have it all their own way at the Charleston Con- vention, as the regalar New York organization we perceive that our black republican organs stick to the notion that the whole and sole ambi- tion of Fernando Wood is to get buck into the | Mayor’s office. Tous, the Tritune of yesterday in- forms us that “the City Inepector’s Department is | already secured;” that “in a few weeks the Cro- ton Board will be reconstructed,” and that “then | after a mock struggle, ia which the aspirations | of such patriots as Isanc V. Fowler and Wm. B. Kennedy will be crushed, while Mr. D. F. Tie- | mann will be Jaughed at, Fernando 4 wilt | Joom up, ‘grand, gloomy and peculiar,’ as ihe | Union democratic candidate for Mayor.” A plausible scheme of operations; but we sp- | pecucad that while Fernando Wood wili have no Objection to ite continued agi tt os bad quie enough f ‘he Mayor's Mice, wu 58 now eogeged in a larger combin ving an} (» bigher game. Some two years ago he made a jo itical pilgrimage to Richmond, Virginia, and, from the newspaper reports of that day, he did not return without acl ar and ecmpreheusive understood ing with Governor Wise in reference to the fu- ture, We tave reagon to believe that, from tha day to this, the programme thea agreed npoo has been followed up ia frequent confidential e ou munications betweea the bigh evorracting pa wer, and toat the presen politicnl movemertits of Mr, Wood are realty directed to the nomisation of Governor Wise by the Charleston Convention, aud to that Cabinet a; pointment which may gh the Wise as our next Presid Ta this view of the subject the Albany Regen- ey will discover that when the Ves of this city, the other day, mildly suzgeated that this cuate tor the New York éetegitcs “ may be carriva from one tribunal to another motil it reaches the Obarleston Convention,” the meant to declare that this th We have no doubt of it. We consider it “a fixed fact” in regard to the Regency, shat they will gend a solid gelegatiou of tocir own men to Charleston from the avuual State Conveation under their control. We dare say,"too, that this delegation will be a unit ia favor ot” Me, Doug: jus and squatter sovereiguty. In the next place, here will be a contesting d a feo; the bards, in tavor, most likely, of Gov. Wise, Tee South will rule the Convention, and rale out Judge Douglas, or break up the “hoppy family.” We think that the chances, are in favor of a break up, and a division of the Convention into iwo sectional camps, wity Wiee as the Senthern and Douglas as the Nurthera candidaie vf the divided democracy. ‘The opposition being in the same way divided into two sectional partis, the clection will hea serub rece, from whic we may anticipate the trapefer of the three highest candidates from the people to the House of Representatives. Then will come the tug of war, in which the chances of Wise will be as good as those of Douglas or Scward, aseum'ng that these three wen will, be the candidates carried up to the House. But the supporters of Governor Wise do not despair of a reunion o” the party upon hisfname at Chorieston, They hove geeat faith in his sopel popularity; and with a foothold inddbe Convention from New York, bis admirers ia ths quarter may bave some reison to expect the most favorable results, Fernando Wood doubtless operating under these impressions: and from the precedents a’ Baltimore ia, 1848, aud Cincinnati in 1856, he has grounds for thc belief that he will be able successfully to test agoinst an exclusive delegatioa of thr bany Regency. Such, we cilculate, is’the gaa of our ex-Masor. It ig not the ,Mayor’sjoftic d cur Corporation spoils aod plunder, but the Charleston Conven‘ion, the Presidential ,succes- sion «nd a position at Wasbingtoe which will enable him to speak “by authority” to the Al- bany Regency and Tammany Hall. Cogrcption ix THe Post Orrice Devari- wext—Errectr or Mr, Howt’s Reporr.— Consequent upon our developements of the frauds pcrpetrated in the Post Office, in the use of counterfeit and re-washed stamps, other reve- lations are being made «f criminal practices! in that branch of the public se:vices, whichjrcader still more necessary the investigation we have called for. A Western paper contains the fol- lowing} expos? «f Post Office affairs in _that region:— We bave reason to believe that at the next. svasion tof Congress there will be obtained from the proper depart. ment bgot and information enough w eetadien tis fot Jowing facts respecting Post Offise irauds and robberies: 1 The fabricution at ove of the largest Post Oltices 1 the United States of pay rolis, by virtue of which th: Postmaster obtained from the government an allowance for clerk bire forty per cont greater than was paid by him to bik empioy és. 2.

It is asserted that the proofs of all theee state- ments are before the President, and that at a thus be scented throz ption of Goveraor editor willbe Aoue sieaply is | proper time they will be laid before Congress and the country. The country needs no more evi- dence of the fact that improper persons, and even thieves, are in public employment in the Post Office Department, than the official report of Postmaster General Hol.on the case of Post- master Westcott. That document acknowledges that the till of the Phiudelph'a Pos. Oifice was robbed of its cash to the extent of over fiftcen hundred dollars # year. Yet because Postmaster Westcott endeavored to cstablish a practical tule for preventing the pilfering of the public money, Mr. Holt draws the law on bim, asserts that it was Westcott’s, aud not the public money that was being stolen, as he was responsible to the government for the amount, and, by a petti- fogging construction of the statute, decides that it was Postmaster Westcott, and not the Poet Office thieves, who should be punished. So Post- master Westcott is incontinently diecharged for wishing to enforce houesty, aud the Post Office thieves are retained in the public employment. We tremble for the effect of this action of Postmaster General Holt, on the public service. The conditional denial, by a drivelting paper in rashington, of the sale of frauduicnt stamps, pt ‘hrough the connivazce of the Post masters or Post Office clerks,” and its wish to ‘id them by stopping all investigation at have the same tendency, and will produce Ike resulta. We fear Me. Hott is not a man of the broad and stateetoaplike views requisite for in his position, A statecman recognises the fact that laws ore made to restrain dishonest im pulsce, and to provide for the puniehment of cnme, And be recognises the broader fact, that the Jaw cannot meet every individaal case, nor the changes produced by social progress: and his aim is, 20 to conduct the puolic cerviee that Progress shall not be hindered by the law, nor the tosjesty of the law marred by the changes wrought by progress. Lo carrgiog out this aim Mr. Tolt bas eigually failed, ia his decisfon rela five to he Philadsiphis Postmaster. His only remedy the imjury be hrs done is to tr- stitute a strict iavestgation fut his department, a J ostage stamps all over the affairs of NEW YORK HERS iD, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1859, _ Tue Susrexse or tus War—Wairina on Evenrs.—The present condition of European afluars is that of the greatest perplexity aud un- centaluty, Governments, as well as individuals, ac keptin a stare o suspense which arrests their usual action, acd obliges them to keep them- selves prepared tor whatever eventuality may oceur, Pol , a8 well as commercially, this state of th most annoying aod anxious that cau well be conceived. The realities of a general war could hardly create more bewilder- went than does this waiting upon events to which there ¢xivis no clue, Jo Mopland the affairs of government seem to bave been beonght almost to a stand still by the uncertainty which hangs over the Italiana struggte. The Derby administration do not seem to eajoy the confidence of auy party, and yet it is difficult to turn them out of oflice. There is no anion or harmony in the iiberal ranks on the questions which are now convulsing the Continent. The Macchester wen deprecate the return of Lords Joku Russell or Palmerston to office, They pre- fer a tory government, with Austrian proclivi- hes, to the establishment of whig rule. This is a curious etate of thiogs, and, aa regards the cause of Italian todependence, it does uot show much disinter- coledners on the part of the English radicals. iv looks as if they had no sympathies for op- vrested vationalities where their own interests iutervene, They calculate on extortiog a larger extension of the franchise from a tory adminis tration than from a whig, and, therefore, they sey “perish the cause of liberty elsewhere aatil we can secure our own rights.” The notion ad- vanced by Mr. Roebuck and others, that the ac- cession of Lord Pa'merston to office would be the signal for intervention on the part of England, is absurd. {t belongs to the foolish prejudices whieh resulted in the outcry on the Greek question, aud which were so ably demo lished at the time by the ex-Premier. Ofall Engtish statesmen we believe that Lord Palmer- ston is the most friendly to Louis Napoleon, and best appreciates the useful influence which his independence and comprehensiveness of views are exercising over the policy of the European wovernments, Were he again restored to power we believe that English neutrality would be come in fact as well asin name that strict non- intervention which the Queen's proclamation enjoins. In Germany the excitement that has been got up by the partisans of Austria has been held in check by ihe temperate and prudent conduct of Prussia. In the secondary States of the Confederation the rashness of the governing classes would long since have compro- mised them in the cause of Austria, but for the firm attitude of that Power. Prussian stuteemon know well tbat the masses in Germany are op- posed to Austrian despotism, and that it must be clearly shown that German interests are endan- gered, before ‘hey can be induced to come to her aid. To try and get them to move sooner would only be to court the chances of revolutionary outbreaks; for it must be recollected that Ger- man unity has been proved by the events of 1848 tobe, in 8 great measure, a myth. Germany, therefore, is reduced to an attitude of expectancy, which can only be decided by the resolyes of the Berlin Cabinet. Russia also awaits the progress of events. Making rapid strides in a liberal policy, she has exhibited, through her press, a marked sympathy with the Italian cause. She wisely, however, abstains from present interference, until she finds it mapossible to prevent its assuming European proportions. Russia occupies a posi- tion of natural antagonism to Austria. The for- mer represents the young aud progressive spirit of the age, the latter the decrepid and exhausted energies of a medieval system. The sympathies of Russia must therefore incline her towards France, because in their political systems there is a close affinity. This is the bond which is in future to decide the political alliances of the Continent. The old theory of the balance of power has lost all hold over the credulity and reverence of men. The political action of the different govern- ments js, as we have shown, made dependent on the events of the campaign, Until some deci- tive result is achieved, such as the capture of Ve- rons or Martua, it is probable that it will remain in staru quo. Political parties ia England, like betters in the prize ring, wait for the first hard hitting to lay their heaviest stakee, The Derby government will therefore probably linger on until victory decides into which scale the influ- ence of England is to be thrown. Then men of greater energy and firmer character will step into their places and relieve the helm of State from their vaccillating hold. Germany and Rus- sia will, like England, be governed by circum- stances, and will only resolve upon their course when it is made clear that Austrian obstinacy will be satisfied with nothing less than a general war. There is one thing that serves to console the world for the suspense in which it is kept by the uncertain attitude of the different govern ments. The friends of liberty feel that whatever other interests may be compromised by a general couflict, those of progress must eventually be advanced by it. THe Buse iy tHe Commoy Scuoors--Mcon Apo Anour Norit After a long fight, in which every species of tactics and mancuyre was rceorted ‘o, the Board of Education have at last decided that the Protestant Bible is hence- forth to be read im the common schools, despite the objections of certain Catholics and others. The vote is twenty-five ia the affirmative to six- teen in the negative. The whole discussion is a miserable attempt on both sides to revive that religious intolerance which for nearly a century hus been buried in the tomb of the Capulets. For eeveral years this question has been a eource of agitation, irritation and ill will in New York. It bas been hitherto left to the respective school committees to decide, and jast as mem- bers of one set of opinions or another pre- the Bible bas been either introduced luded, which has led to religious rancor aud small local fights. But as Protestants tire ina majority on almost all the school com- mittees, our Protestant Bible waa for the most pert retained in the schools. In the Fourth ward, and, we believe, in one or two others, it was ex- cluded, and hence the discussion in the Board of Education upon the question to render the read- ing of the sacred volume imperative in every ‘cbool—a ridiculous attempt to enlarge the field of hostile operations, and to engage the whole people ia a religious controversy about the dif- ference between tweedledum and tweedlo-dee. Nothing can be more absurd, It is making a ter- Tible {nss about uothing, There is no real differ- cuce between the two Bibles, and in this age of the world it is uot of the slightest importance in the education of children whether the Catholic ox Protestant Bible is read, or any Bible at all, Trotestavt Bible is ® book remarkable for its gocd Englich, like Shakepere, for the transta- tion was made before the wells of pure Eoglish were éefilkd b foreign admixtures, aud it is ex- treme y absurd on the part of a section of Ca thehes to ebje t toi, As far as it goes, senilely the ame as their own, though better Arglo-Soxon, The Paritan faction are acting un equally absurd part in objecting to the read: + the Catbolic Bible, for beeides containing ull that theirs does, it has several books in addi- ‘lon; and if Christians are to be saved. by faith, is tbe best chance of salvation by the Ca- ‘holle Scriptures, as they aflurd scope for alarger fimeuot and greater exercise of faith. Vor our own part, we should like to see an other Christian grace cultivated, which is the greatest of all, though most neglected, aud that is charity, mutual charity—* peace on earth, gocd will among men.” The whole of the late roversy is uncbaritable, un Christian, and un- sulied to the genius of our liberal institutions Vortuvately, in this enlightened community nc chief can be doue by the set of demagogues, fools and bigots who played their réles in the silly farce. Fasmionaste Crarny—A Porote Move MENT IN Alp oF THE TrattaN Cause.—The mil- lion and a balf of people who have their domi ciles within twelve miles of our City Hall had on yesterday, a great laugh over the card of Mr Strakoech, the manager of the Opera at the Academy. This manifesto was apropos to the fashionable manner of getting up charity con- certs and operatic performances iu this city, and let a flood of light upon the operations of the “unco’ gude” who rotate in the circles abou: Murray Hill. And it appears that the Grinnell the Astors, the Minturns, the Beekwans, the Bo- certs, the Coopers, the Pells, the Hoffmans, the Morgens, the LeRoys, and others who lead so- ciety, always attempt to gain the credit of being especially philanthropic without doing any of the work or taking any of the risk attendant upon ti object to which they lend the potent iufluence 0‘ tbeir names. They, in the first place, put the risk on the manager, then they beg the editors to puff the affair with might and main, and wher the bills come in the manager shoulders part of the lose, if any, and the proprietors of the news papers are expected to discount at least fifty per cent from the printing and advertising bills. So that they are expected to do all the work, pay for it as well, and the lady patronesses to have the credit, if any flows from it. But this sort of hambug is, we are glad to see, exploded. Strakosch haz given it the coup de grace. Next wevk there is to be a popular per- formance at the Academy of Music for av object which will have the unavimous tupport of the public. It is to farther a graad and a noble object. It is to assist in the work vf civilization and progress which is now going on in Italy, the spreading of the ideas of to-day in opposition to the medieval dogmas to which the House of Uapeburg cling s0 blindly and so ob- atinately. It is to aid that grand work whict is goin: on in Enrope, and of which the classic ground of fair Italia is the present and the appro- priate theatre, All the Italian artists (and we have more of them actually with us that can be found in any other capital), headed by the prime donne Gazzaniga and Cortesi, will assist at this performance, which will be in every way worthy of the grand occasion. ‘This affair will not be used to flatter the vanity of avy person or clique of persons. It will be patronized by no committee, unless it be the spirits of the great men who inaugurated the work which it is igtended to assist, and who may be now watching for the completiou of the labors which they commenced. It is a cause which will recommend itself to all our people—native, uatu- ralized and aliens—except a few Germans, who are too thick-headed to receive an idea without it is trepanned into their skulls. They will find, however, that the real, true heart of Germany beats responsive to the Italian cause. And if we are not very much mistaken the throng at the Academy of Music on next Wednesday will show that the American heart is already committed upon this important subject. ACADEMY OF MusiO—Tax SrRAkoscH BRNKFT.—The cam. pa'gn of Mr. Strakosch—one which has had its reverses as well as its victoriee—will be closed with two grand per formances, one on this evening, when Mme. Cortesi will sing in “Norma,” and the other tomorrow morning, when the same fine prima donna. will sing a rdl- in which she bas made the greatest furore, Paolina, in “I! Poliuto,” Purchasers of secured seats for to night’s performance re ceive admission to the matings to-morrow without further charge. Apart from the very attractive character of the programme, Mr. Strakosch deserves the kindly romem- brance of the public, He has given ageries of fine per formances, with a splendid troupe. The expenses have been heavy, and the return, oa the whole, hardly equal to the outlay. He deserves, and should receive, a sub. stantial token of the public reciation. ‘Tur GazzaniGa Concent at BRooxtyw.—The compliment. &ry concert which has been tendered by the Philharmonic Society of Brocklyn to Mme. Marietta Gazzaniga, will take Place this evening at the Atheneum. The programme is one of the most attractive that has ever been arranged hore. Indeed it will compare favorably with the best concerts in London and Paris, where the price of admis sion would be at least double the gum which is required at Brooklyn. We have, among the vocal artists, Mme. Gazzaniga, Mile, Ghioni, Signori Steffani, Amodio, Flo renza, and the great basso, Carl Formes. Mr. and Mrs. Milla will give several morceauz for the piano. Tho con cert is a deserved compliment to @ most eminent artirt who has lent her agsistance in the moat kindly way to the concerts of the very excellent Society on the other site of the river, From all accounts we believe that the affair will be a perfect ovation to Macame Gazzniga. ‘The Departure of the General Admiral, ‘This noble vessel left our harbor ycaterday at three o'clock for ber destined home.

Porcr.aR SovarmGxty va, SQuarreR SovERRGNTY —The democrats of the South--we mean those conservative mem who repudiate the destructive doctrines of the fire-eaters end disunlontets—sro coming over to the popular sove- reignty platform os it stands in coutradistinction to the pripciples of squatter sovereignty. For a long time these two terws bare bees understood as being nearly synoay- mous, and even now are go interpreted by the great mass of the community. But the democrats of the South have discovered a distinction, and the world might as woll know what it is Popular sovereignty, as understood at the South, means, the right of the people of tho Territories, when forming a State conatitution, to sey whether they will have & slave or u free State, and that it shall be the duty of Copgress to receive thom into the Union without refirence to that particular clause; while squuttor eovereignty, they contend, gives the inbabitants of ®& Territory the right to proclaim for or against slavery us soon as they bave accomplished a Territorial organization, The difference, {t thus appears, rests solety wpon & question of time, Let us now look at the language of the Kansas Nebraska bill in reference to this subjeot. That bill ceclares: ‘The true intent and meaning of this ect is not to legis'ate glavery into a Territory, nor to ex- clude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof per- feotly frce to decide ft in their own way, subject only te the coustitation.”” The constitution contains not a word open the subject, aud fr there ts any force in the words bere quoted from the bill, “the true intent and meaning of them” is that the people of a Territory cau decide the question of slavery at any time it is their pleasure 60 to do. This enceavor to make @ distinction between popular uod squatter sovercigaty is the very nicest kind of hair epiitting. A Cigax Grit Fires Eater.—Mr. J, L. Pugh, in a solid columa letter, bas announced himself as aa independent Son't-care-e copper for-nebody candidate for Congres ta the Second district of Alabama. He bas raised his stand ard, which, he says, is covered ali over with the motte of “Union among ourselves for the eake of the South,” aad planted it uvom the following platform:— 1, That the people of the Soutr shall march to the bal- lot box or to the fleid. . 2, That Southern safety does not lie in national organt- zations. 8. That a national party cannot preserve State rights, beceuse its continuance in power depends upon the plea- sure of the maj 4. That the Northern and Southern portions of this Union ave ceased to ocoupy the reiktions of oo-cqual sovoreiga, States 5 That State sovereignty, reserved right, limitation upon federal power, are completely obliterated at ta North, 6. That all power is contra'ized in Congress, and exer. cised to drain, plunder, barrass and oppress the South. 7. Declares eternal Loetility to any man or party sanctions another compromise, 8. That there ought to be butone party in the South and whenever a black republican is elected Prosident o tue United states, that party should be pledged un: takabiy to a dissolution of the Union. These are the strong planks in tho platform of Mr Pugh, and he furthormore declares that if Alabama ‘ mains tm the Union after the election of s biack republic President, bo will join in raiging a regiment to light torch of revolution in the Capitol at Washington.” Vo Proper man to send to Congross, truly.
