The sub-committee appointed by the Donglas Central Committee on Friday were in session yes- terday atthe St. Nicholas hotel. They rejected the proposition of the volunteers, and declared that they would not, under any consideration, take any of the electors at present on the Breckenridge electoral ticket. A full report will be found else- where. An enthusiastic Douglas open air meetiag was held at Roseville, near Newark, N.J., on Friday night. Senator Wilson, of Trenton, addressed the assembly at some length. The meeting then ad- journed, and marched in procession, with torches and music, to Newark, where they were ably ad- dressed by Hon. H. V. Johnson, candidate for Vice President, and J. M. Harrington, of this city. There were between five and six thousand persons on the ground, and the crowd did not retire till long after midnight. i A shocking railroed catastrophe happened on Friday night at Delavan, Wisconsin, by the col- lision of a freight and a passenger train. From the brief telegraphic account of the disaster that has reached us, we learn that five persons were Killed and twenty-five wounded, several of them seriously. The names of the killed we give in our despatch. We publish in another column additional parti- culars of the loss of the steamer Lady Elgin, in- cluding the testimony, given before the Coroner, of Captain Malott, of the schooner Augusta, the vessel that collided with the steamer. The total number of bodies recovered up to the 12th inst. was fifty-four. The Prince of Wales tarried at Niagara Falls yesterday. He critically examined that wonderful work of natare, and witnessed the extraordmary feats of Mons. Blondin, who walked on his rope over the Falls with a man on his back, and re- turned, for the first time, on stilts. The Prince protested against both these foolhardy exhibitions, but finally yielded. Subsequently the Prince com- plimented Blondin on the success of his perform- ance. In another colamn may be found interesting de- tails of news from Honduras. The correspondence from Truxillo clearly narrates the proceedings of the commander of the British sloop-of-war Icarus, in compelling Walker and his band of filibusters to evacuate the fort at that place, and the subsequent movements of the invaders until their arrival at Limas. Walker left the fort secretly on the night of the 2lst ult., with about eighty men, all well armed and in good spirits. On the 23d he hada battle with the Hon‘urans, in which one man was killed and five wounded. It is believed, therefore, that the report of his party having been retuced to twenty-five men is devoid of truth. It is re- ported that Colonel Henry was killed in a private quarrel, and quieuy buried at Truxillo. The smack Whim, of Throgg’s Neck, Captain McGruer, having a load of oysters for this city, was run into on Friday night, at about six o'clock, at Hellgate, by the steamer Empire State, of the Fall Biver line, while on her trip to Fall River, which resulted in the sinking of the smack and crowning of Captain McGruer and one man. Another was reseued, but is badly injured. The steamer proceeded on her way. The collision was said to be purely accidental. Muscular Christianity bad another illustration last evening, at the Musical Hall, Brooklyn, on the oo- casion of a complimentary benefit to those mission- aries of the order—Jim Cusick and Jack Mac- donald, the trainers of Benicia’s child. The “Boy” himself was present, and ‘‘put up his hands’ with Ed. Price, a distinguished member of the faternity. A watch was presented to Cusick anda ring to Mcodonald, and the proceedings were enlivened with several good specimens of “the noble art of self-defence,” and embellished by the charms of qgmuaic. Three steamers sailed from this port yesterday for Rurope—namely, the City of Manchester, for Liverpool, with 147 passengers and $112,901 in specie: the Bavaria, for Southampton and Ham- burg, with 109 passengers and $250,000 in specie, and the Fulton, for Southampton and Havre, with 35 passengers and $442,040 in specie. The Kar- nak, which sailed yesterday for the West Indies, also took $41,000 in specie—making the total ship ment $808,541, ‘The cotton market was firm, under the iniiuence of the foreign news, and the ssles embraced about 1,500 bales, om the basis of 107;c. for middling uplands, and at 100. for Vlorida middliegs.

There are facta and coincidences in receat évents, while the negotiations for fusion were pending, that should not pass unperceived by the public eye, and which should be remem bered. It has been evident from the first mo- ment of the split at Baltimore, that if the con- servative interests bere could be houestly united in support of one electoral ticket, the vote of New York could be taken away trom the black republicans by a majority running from forty thousand to one bundred thousand in the popular vote. With this conviction in the public mind, Mr. Seward has been confi- dently declaring, everywhere irom Maine to Minnesota, that New York will go for Lincoln by a plurality of eighty thousand, the Albany clique meanwhile, vibrating between Albany and New York, professing to be endeavoring to effect a fusion of the conservative elements egainst the black republicans. But it is a singular coincidence that whenever Dean Rich mond came to New York to talk about fusion, Thurlow Weed bad business which called him to the city also,and during the recent con ferences of the Richmond clique at the St. Nich olas, he has been one of the most confident and satisfied politicians in town. Now that the de- signs of these trading politicians have become manifest, the repeated deciaration of Mr. Doug- las that “the next President must come from Illinois” attains a new and important signi- ficance. By the course they have pursued the Albany Regency clique have made it manifest that they can never again obtain admission to a national convention, and this conviction may lie at the root of their plans to secure as much plunder as possible through connivance with their new allies. They have seen and tasted the fortunes made by railroad combinations in this State, and the power they have conferred, and now they long for similar spoils from the federal sdministration through a fusion of all the great Northern railroad interests. To obtain this a confusion of the conservative political elements was necessary, and for this they have labored. They still profess a willingness to avoid such disaster, and they have secured from the Doug- las State Committee the vesting of a sub-com mittee—of which Dean Richmond and Peter Cagger constitute the working majority—with full power to make and unmake a State elects ral ticket as circumstances may render politic. By this act the certainty of cast- ing the electoral vote of the Empire State for Lincoln and Hamlin is secured. This defeat of the wishes of the great conser- vative elements in New York throws the fate of the present struggle into the States of Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey, where it is to be hoped @ more honest and national set of political managers will enable the conservatives to tri- umph. The final result in those States will depend on that of the Pennsylvania State election on the ninth of next month. If Foster is elected there as Governor the combinations of the spoilsmen and fa natics will be defeated. To prevent euch ® result, and to divert the aid of the New York merchants from that contest, will now be the aim of the Albany Regency. For this pur- pose they will delay, and negotiate, and per- haps endeavor to throw final action over uatil after the Union meeting to-morrow night. It therefore becomes the more incumbent on the conservative interests that will be represented there, to appoint a vigilance committee to watch the course of these trading politicians— whose only aim is their own profit, without regard to the great national interests at stake—and through which all the money contri- buted to defeat Lincoln should be disbursed, in order to prevent its being diverted to the pur- poses of the enemy and the profit of a few trea- cherous leaders. An hotest and shrewd vigi- lance committee, appointed by the conservative Union meeting to-morrow night, with power to direct the use of the money to wherever the true fight may lie, may yet save us from the de- structive political agitation and chaos with which the country is threatened. Tar Mysrentovs Barrow Mission oy Mr. Livp- sar.—There seems to be a good deal of feeling created in England about the reported mission to this country of Mr. Lindsay, M. P., as well as some difference of opinion as to the propriety of the mission at all. The London Ztmes de- nounces special missions altogether as unneces- sary and the following up of a bad precedent, and objects particularly to the selection of Mr. Lindsay, upon the grounds of his qualification for the duty, which, as our readers know, is to iaduce our government to modify the naviga- tion and coasting laws. The shipowners’ soci- ety of London have pasted resolutions regret- ting Mr. Lindsay's visit to this country, and declaring that he does not possess the confidence of the shipping interests. On the other hand, it is stated that Mr. Lind- say, who is, we believe, a shipowner himself, and represents the coast town of Tynemouth fn the British Parliament, is not about to visit this country in a strictly official capacity, but on private business, and has been furnished by the government with all the necessary information and correspondence relating to the views of the two governments npon the navigation laws and consting regulations adopted by both countries. This would argue that he possesses the confidence of his own government. It may be that frequency of special missions to foreign countries where her Majesty is represented by regular Ministers, entrusted to unofficial person- ages, like that of Mr. Cobden to Paris, Sir Wm. Gore Ousley to Washington and Central America, and Lord Elgin to Washington, is causing some alarm in England. But we know that Canada haa reaped considerable advantage from the reciprocity treaty which was the result of Lord Eigin’s special mission, and many British mer- chants highly approve of Mr. Cobden’s treaty of commerce with Franee. If Lord Lyons is will- ing to accept the services of a practical man in his negotiations with our administration, concerning the navigation and coasting laws, we do not see apy objection to Mr. Lindsay’s mission, provided be is the right man in the pales, while shipments of wheat were large wo Liverpool ~ right place, Tux Gxsat Wis Awaxe Demonsraation.— Those of our citizens and sojourners who are Bot bebind the scenes of the political theatre were astonished on Thursday night last by «2 imposing demonstration of the Wide Awakes. Ne lees than forty-six hundred men paraded in military array, each clothed in uniform, and each bearing @ blazing torch. As the proces- sion passed up Broadway, between «leven o'clock and midnight, the scene presented was & most extraordinary one. As far as the eye could reach there was a line of vivid light, not straggling bere and there, as is frequently the case with torchlight parades, but os straight and regular as the company parts of a crack regiment of citizen soldiers. The Wide Awaxes have evidently been drilled by capable officers, and were handled by their commanders with thorough military precision. The turnout of Thursday was, however, a «mall affair, compared with the Wide Awake demonstration which is to take place in this city on the evening of the third of October. There are in the Northerm and Eastern States over four hundred and twenty thousand voters eprolled in the ranks of the Wide Awakes, and it is purposed to have a general reunion of the clube, and a grand parade, in which delega- tions from all the principal cities and towns will participate. The committee baving the matter in charge bave received notice to the ef- tect that sixty thousand Wide Awakes will parti- cipate in this affair. The only trouble now is os to what shall be done with this grand army of the black republicans. Each man purchuses his own torch, cap and cape, at an expense of three dollars, and the cost of entertaining him will amount to as much more, so that the whole expense of the demonstration will not full far short of four hundred thousand dollars, all of which will come out of the spoils in case “bonest Old Abe” gets into the White House. As the republican leaders are quite sanguine of success, they will undoubtedly raise the money to pay for the Wide Awake demonstration, which will be, apart from its political signifi- cance, one of the finest displays ever seen in the metropolis. The procession of Thursday was nearly amile long, marching in open order. The line of the grand parade will be compressed, of course, but even then, allowing for margin of ten thousand men who will fail to appear, the Wide Awake torches will blaze from Broadway to Forty-secand street. It is claimed by some of the Southern papers that the Wide Awakes have been organized for the purpose of repressing any opposition that may arise against Lincoln’s inauguration, in case he should be elected. We apprehend, however, tbat the only object of the leaders of the new organization is to control the local elections, and seize upon the larger share of the federal spoils. Tur Reren or Terror wy Texas.—Recent events in Texas—the alleged poisoning of wells by white and bleck ecoundrels, the burning of the town of Henderson and the consequent panic throughout the State—have elicited some remarkable comments from the Lincoln ergans and orators. Among these the most important wre those of Mr. Seward, in his speech at Lan- sing, and the articles of the leading black re- publican papers in the metropolis, all of whicb we have reprinted in another part of this aper. bs Cae be hoped that the proclamation of Seward, Greeley & Co. will be duly noted by the conservative voters of the Central States. Mr. Seward declares that the army and nuvy is maintained solely for the protection of slave property from the raids of abolitionists like Jobn Brown, or the Northern agitators who aie now inciting the negroes in Texes to rise and murder their masters. And in order that such agitators may have free scope, he would ubolisb the army and navy altogether. As this statement comes from the foremost man in the republican party, it must be taken as a deliber- ate exposition of the principles of that organi- zation. The Tribune takes the ground that the germe of servile insurrection already exist in Toxas, and that a consuming fire may easily be kindled there, and in all the comments of both the Lincoln organs there runs a vein of sympathy for the wretches who have met in Texas the just reward of their crimes—the meanest and basest in the calendar of felonies. The plan of the Northern abolitionists, evi- dently, is to exasperate the Southwestern States, with a view to secession on their part, hoping that then they will be open to raids of the John Brown order. They may deny this as earnestly as they will, but the facts and their own words are against them. This admitted, the question recurs as to whether or not the government of the country can be entrusted to a party whose leaders avow such principles as those which ure embodied in the speeches of Seward and the Lincoln organs. The conservative voters ot the Central States must answer this ques- tion—one of the gravest importance—at the polls. Tus Beacty or Tar Law as Exrocnnep pr ove Jvpers.—People who keep the run of buriners in the Supreme Court of this district must be considerably puzzled occasionally by the very remarkable way in whicb the princi- ples of the science, which Lord Eldon called the perfection of human wisdom, are laid dewn by our judges. A short time ago Mr. Justice Sutherland ordered the discharge of a woman who bad been committed to prison asa va- grant and « prostitute, the Judge holding that there was an error in the form of the commit ment, which should have stopped with the word vogrant. Subsequently the police arrest ed ap Italian woman, on a charge of vagrancy, and she was sent to Blackwell's Island. The busband of the woman asked for a writ of ha beas corpus, making oath that his wife wasa respectable woman, the mother of three chil- dren, and that when arrested she was on her way to market. Mr Justice Sutherland granted was brought before him. The officer who made the arrest swore that hie prisoner had asked for alms in Water street, whereupon counsel for defence moved that she be discharged, and quoted the previous decision of the Court. The Court held, however, that the commitment in this latter case wns valid, and that in the former it would have been so had not the wo- man been described as a prostitute as well as a vagrant. So the Italian woman, who was not #0 fortunate as to have been arrested as & strumpet, was sent back to prison, while the Judge retained the papers and took some time to ruminate over the singular predicament in which he found himself. We submit this case as one of the most curious in the history of jurlaprudence, and we respectfully request that it shall by no manner of means be omitted trom the books. Tne Italiam Complications—Armed Inter- vention of Sardinia in Naples. The announcement that Sardinis is about to eend an army to Naples will take no one by surprise. Matters were hastening towards a point which threatened to involve ber in another conflict with Austria and united Germany, thus endangering ber newly acquired possessions, and therefore it became necessary for her to renounce her policy of inaction. Garibaldi once master of the two Sicilies, the stipulations oi the treaty of Villafranca in regard to Venice, and the promises of protection made by Louis Napoleon to the Pope, would soon have to be clussed amongst the political impossibilities of the day. Working out his objects by the aid of the non-intervention doctrine, it has been Garibaldi’s constant study to avoid anything that might afford a pretext for its infringement. He had less, however, to fear from the govern- ments directly bostile to him than from the equi- vocal conduct of France and Sardinia. What was to be apprehended most was, that they would endeavor to take the control of the revolutionary. movement out of his bands. This was the object of Farini’s mission to Palermo, and it is with a similar purpose that the Sardinian government is about to despatch General de la Marmora with an vrmy to Naples, The pretext assigned for this step—the prevention of anarchy in the event of the fall of the reigning dynasty—is an absurd one. In the first place, it isa violation of the political doctrine to which Central Italy owes its vewly acquired liberties, and in the next, the very unanimity of the feeling in favor of annexa- tion which exists on the part of the Neapolitan population excludes the possibility of any trouble such as Sardinia affects to apprehend. The authority of Garibaldi once established would be fully equal to the suppression of any excesses on the part of the red republicans or lazzaroni. The simple truth of the matter is, that both the Frenoh Emperor and Count Cavour have become alarmed at the growing influence and power of the Dictator, and are now trying to shelve him in the same way in which they thrust bim aside in the last campaign. In the present movement they have made use of him up to the point that has servéd their purpose, whilst he, on his side, hes availed himeelf of their aid to advance the patriotic objects that he hasin view. It is now a contest between them as to whether the work of revolution is to be carried beyond the ex- pulsion of Francis II. or stopped there. Gari- baldi declares that it shall mot be arrested at this point; whilst the good faith of France is pledged to the maintenance of the statu quo in Venice and the protection of the Pope. It is certain that as soon as he has accomplished his task in Naples the Dictator will hasten to com- plete in Rome the work which circumstances compelled him to leave unfinished in 1848. Therefore it is that Sardinia has determined upon assuming the direction of the Neapolitan revoiution, and that France reinforces her army of occupation in the Roman territories. It now remains to be seen whether Garibaldi will allow the glorious mission which he has thus far accomplished to be passively taken out of bis hands. His mysterious from Calabria is in all probability owing to his baving received news of the intended intervention by Sardinia, and to a suddenly formed resolution to anticipate it. Could he but reach the capital and complete the triumph of the revolution before the arrival of the Sar- dinian force, all pretext for its disembarkation would be removed; for the annexation question can only be disposed of by a plebiscitum, and that free from the presence of a formidable controlling influence such as an army of occu- potion would present. The time gained in the interval that must elapse before this can be taken would suffice to mature the Dictator’s projects in regard to Rome and Venice, as well as to back them by such a force as would en- able their populations to successfully assert their rights. A queation suggests itself in connection with this contemplated intervention by Sardinia, which places Austria in a curious position. Is she an assenting party to this step on the part of her late adversary? If she is, it proves the helpless condition to which she is reduced, for nothing short of the consciousness of utter powerlessness should have induced her to look to Sardinia for protection. Ifshe is not, and takes no military measures to prevent it, she equally confesses her weakness; for unless she makes a stand now she will have all her dependencies wrested from her, one by one. The truth is, that between her dread of revolution and her fear of French aggression, she is completely paralyzed. She has persevered so long in wrong doing that she has neither the courage to retrace her steps nor to stake everything on the defence of her traditional policy. A Fvustow Vacaycy.—Mr. Ottendorfer, editor of the German Douglas democratic organ of this city, the Staats Zeitung, has withdrawn as one of the electors of the Douglas and Bell coa- lition ticket. The reason appears to be the refu- eal of the Dean Richmond committee to explain whether the ten Bell electors on eald ticket are genuine ducks or wooden decoys. Now all this chaffering of the parties concerned over the electors is very ridiculous. What we want is a combination to defeat Lincoln. This done, whether the thirty-five votes of New York shall be cast for Douglas or ten of them for Bell, with some for Breckinridge, will be all the same. Mr. Douglas will not go into the House in any event, for the three highest candidates will be Liscoln, Breckinridge and Bell. Bat aside from this question, are our city and State *poils all to be thrown away? With Mr. Otten- dorter’s vacancy judiciously filled, and let Dean Richmond stick to his text of keeping Booby Brooks outside the door, and something good may yet come out of Nazareth. Potrricat, Stan-cazens.—For the last two or three days groups of people have been gathered at the different street corners gazing up into the eky to get a look at Venus in her daylight costume; every one fs pointing, and every one is straining his eyesight to the point of blindness; but not one in ten of the star-gazers can see the star. It is just the same way with the people all over the country in the present Presidential canvass. They are all staring into the political aky endeavoring to ‘see the bright particular star of the Presidential campaign—the planet that is to shine from the White House for four years to come; and not one in ten of them can discern him in the present clouded and con- fused condition of things. Some wiseacres point to Lincoln as the ster, and some to Bell, pudro on, The poor people are so befogged by the politicians that they cannot find the real star at all, no more than our city star-gazers can get their eye on Venus in the dazzling sun- ehine. Tax Western Democnacr—Mr. SeNaToR Bricut ox Ma. Dovotss, &0.—From Ohio to Kansas the wrangling democracy are 60 much absorbed in their femily quarrels that they can afford to give nothing more than secondary importance t8 “old Abe Lincoln.” Between the followers of Mr. Breckinridge and the disci- ples of Mr. Douglas, there is just that harmony existing which prevails at the high carnival of the belligerent factions of a Donnybrook fair. For instance, Mr. Senator Bright, of In’. 4, in one of his campaign speeches, declares that the Breckinridge men “do not to be written down by newspapere (or nor slan- dered down; nor do they" di. be bullied down ;” that “we do not intend, under the: cry of disorganization, to have Stephen A. Douglas and his cohorts crammed down our throats, nolens volens ;”’ that we do not intend that the old radical true democracy shall be placed in the position of “a bucket tied to a dog’s tail, to be dragged through the mud wherever the dog may choose to run.” A corresponding spirit of brotherly love is manifested on the other side, and “traitors,” “bolters,” “disunionists,” and such like com- plimentary terms, are the dally expres- sions of our Western Donglas journals and orators against the Breckinridge faction. Of course, under this condi- tion of things, “old Abe” will make a clean sweep of the great West. The Vermont and Maine elections have settled the question for the East, and the only living chance for the de- feat of Lincoln lies in the three Central States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Indeed, from the present complexion of the con- test in the first two of these States, we may say that the whole weight of the battle is thrown upon New York. Here we have the means and the men for the work, but as Dean Rieh- mond has constituted himself the chief engineer we cannot be very enthusiastic, for washe not the dictator of the balance of power at Charles- ton and at Baltimore! Tae Hicurst Puase or PowrricaL Antr- Stavery Fee.ine.—William Lloyd Garrison cordially endorses the nomination of Andrew as the republican candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, because “he represents the highest phase of anti-slavery feeling as yet developed.” And what is the “highest phase” according to Garrison! ‘Ne union with slave- holders,” and “down with the federal constitu- tion” as “a league with death and a covenant with hell.” The Massachusetts republicans are getting on. The Rhode Island irrepressibles tried one of these “highest phase” John Brown candidates for Governor last spring, and failed; but Garrison lives and labors in the Massachu- setts vineyard, and there his friends expect to do better. Apvertisine By TeLeGRarn.—Fresh instances occur every day of the value of our advertising columns. It has frequently happened that the telegraph has brought us advertisements from different parts of the country at considerable expense to the advertisers, usually, however, referring to something lost or requiring imme. diate publication, such as the stoppage of notes and checks and so forth; but an instance occur- red yesterday of a more remarkable character: we received a regular business advertisement announcing the sale of blood stock, all the way from Lexington, Kentucky. The value to ad- vertisers of a place in the columns of the Hx- RALD must be considerable when they can afford to pay telegraph prices te forward the adver- tisement from such distant places.

James Brooks, of the Zxpress, was moving around in a mysterious manner during the entire morning, like one upon whose sboulders rested an empire, but he was about as wise after spending a few hours about the hotel as those assuming less importance. Cagger was flying back and forth—first in secret session with Richmond, thea walking the ball with some of the volunteers, and the next mipute off in search of James T. Brady, to see what bargain ceuld be made with him. The volunteers and their friends were moving about larger than life, con- fident that something of great importance would tran- spire. The same story, that something satisfactory would be done, had been circulated so long that everybody be- came impatient and desired to know what that eomething was. ‘There was considerable excitement amongst the Ger- mans on account of the resignation of Mr. Ottendorfer, who had tendered his resignation upon the eletoral ticket. His resignation was, however, accepted, and the vacancy declared open for a Breckimridger. ‘There was a rumor industriously circulated during the forenoon that Secretary Cobb had written to Mr. Butter- worth, of this city, requesting the Breckinridge men of this State to enter into any fusion they could with the Douglas faction, to refuse the offer of two electors, but to take any number over that which they could get, and if they could not get any, to vote for the Dougiaa ticket as it is. This, however, we be- eve to be one of Caggers’ canards, got up for the purpose of forcing the Breckinridge men to take anything that they might offer; we could trace it to ‘bo reliable source, Cagger being the most industrious cir- cnlator of tho rumor. It is, beyond a doubt, one of the species of fawning characteristic of the Douglas demo- cracy throughout the campaign. The sub committee went into secret scasion between twelve and one o’clock, leaving the outside pressure under the impression that there was to be a fusion at once, and the proposition of the volunteers to be accepted without delay. The first question under consideration by the eub-committce after organization, which was effected by the clection of Richmond as Coairman and Cagger as Secretary, was the proposition of the volunteers that was laid on the table the day previous, which was that two of the State candidates and ten of the electors should withdraw, and their places filled by a like number from the present Breckinridge ticket. The volunteers state ‘that they bad received assurances from Mr. Cagger, after ‘thé adjournment on Friday night, that with the excep- tion of one or two names, the proposition was acceptable. To-day they rejected it almost as soon as it was takea up. The sub-committee, after considering the question, sont ‘Mr. Cagger to the rooms of the volunteers and informed ‘them that they could not accept their proposition, and angorted that there was a great difficulty in creating ‘vacuncies on their ticket, but Gnally, after considerabie controversy, proposed that the volunteers should name two of the State officers and six clectors, and perbaps enother name for the State ticket—viz.: the State Prison Inspector—but requesting that all the names proposed should be such as wore already upon the ticket nominated by the Breci:inriige party, as they did not wish to recog. Rise the present Breckinridge State Central Committee, and had therefore decided to reject all names now tn Bom ination on the Breckinridge ticket. Tnis statement of Mr. Cagger entirely changed the posi. tion of the question, and the volunteer? did not «onsider that they had any right to go outside of the preseat Breckinridge ticket for names, and rejected at once the offer of Mr. Cagger, and requested bim in turn to present his objection to the proposition offered on Friday in writing; whereupon Mr. Oagger sent the volunteers the letter: — ane New Youx, Sept. 15, 1860.
