We bave received an interesting communication from onr Fort Bachanan, New Mexico, correapon- dent ed the Sth in which he gives a eynop the news at that post. Jack Powers, a notorious character, and who formerly belonged to Colonel Stevenson's New York regiment, was mar- dered on the night of Met. near the Calabacas ranch, about thirty miles fr ‘ort Buchanan. The deceased was weullly, and bas relatives residing in this city. A stranger named Bailey, on his journey to the Btates, stopped over at Tucson for afew days, and while there, on Nov. 1, was coolly murdered by & desperado named Miller Bartlett. Another man, named W. F. Ward, of Dardanelle, Tell county, Arkansas, was shot by a Mexican lying in ambush, near Fort Bochanan, and was mortally wounded. ‘The ball was fired evidently from one of Colt’s re- volvers; it passed entirely throngh the chest of ite victim. Ward's condition was discovered in a few Moments after the occurrence, and he was taken to the first hospital at the fort, where he lived for upwards of four bours in a perfectly calm and ra- tional state of mind, conversing on the sabject, and then died.

The committee sppoluted to investigate concerning the funds in charge of the City Chamberlain wae discharged from ‘he further consideration of the subject. In the Board of Councilmen last evening, a re bonstrance was reoetyed from the Sixth Aveany Itulrond Company against paving that avenue, from Forty-second to Fifty-ninth street, with Bei #)s0 pavement, which was referred to the Commit ton Streets. The award of contract to James Smith for building new fire engine, to be knows as No. 45, at an expense of $1,445, was confirmed Avother communication was received from the Judges of the Superior Court, requesting the Com mon Council to furnish proper accommodations for the transaction of business in that court. The paper was referred to the committee having the subject im charge. The Board concurred with the Aldermen in awarding the contract for blasting and removing Coenties reef, to # meas depth of twenty fect at low water, to the New York Submarine Engineering Company. The bid was $18,700, and the work is to be done in one year. They concurred to procure a new house and location for Hose Oo, No. 48, and 4 lot for Hook and Ladder Co. No. 10; also to confirm assessment list for regulating Sixth avenue from Fifty-fourth to Fifty-ninth street. The expenses of the work will be $17,981 10. A contract for buildmg a pier at the foot of Twenty-third street, East river, was awarded to Wm, Hl, Adams for $21,891, he being the lowest bidder. After the transaction of other roctine business, the Board adjourned tii Monday. Phe Commissioners of Charities and Corrections reported, et their meeting yesterday, that they bave transmitted the sanoal estimate of expenses to the Comptroller for 1861. The aggregate of the ancunt is $669,375, which is a decrease of #74824, compared with the expenses of the Departinent lasi year. The number in the institations now is 7,659— an increase of 76 for the week. A curious divorce suit was commenced yester- dsy, before Judge Lott, in the Kings County Cireni Court, in which Alfred Beardsley applies for a di © ‘rom his wife, Mary Elizabeth Beardsley, ov the ground of adultery with Dr. James Francis Maban, of New York, to whom she bad represented her as 4 single woman, danghter of a Mr. Sey mour, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, by which the Boctor was induced to marry her during the life time of ber busbaud. The defence set up is mis taken identity aod adultery on the part of the plaint® with @ principal wituess. Great interest is excited in consequence of the respectable posi- tion in life of all the parties concerned, Mrs. Beardsley being a daughter of the Rev. Nathaniel D. Law, a Methodist minister. The Barch divorce case, now on trial at Naper- ville, Iinois, is exciting considerable interest. A report of the testimony taken yesterday is given in another co.umn. The committee appointed by the State Legisla- ture to investigate the affiirs, condition and pro- wress of the Central Park met yesterday at the Astor House. The treasurer's account was pre- sented, from which tt appears that the total re- ceipts for the six months ending June 30, 1860, were $678,277 38; the expenditure during the same period, $423,145 43—leaving a balance of $256,151 95, One of the witnesses said the money pow authorized to be expended will be sufficient to complete the Park. They adjourne! at noon nntil balf-past nine this (Friday) morning. ‘The Aldermanic Committee of Brady, Boole & Co. met yesterday, to hear the decision of Judge Ingraham as to their authority to compel the City Chamberlain to appear before them and give evi- dence concerning the whereahouts of the city de- posits, and the amount of interest paid on them; but the decision of the Judge was adverse to the committee, being to the effect that the statute re quires the appointment of a committee by both boards of the Common Council before the City Chamberiain can be compelled to appear and give evidence.

Events crowd thick and fast upon us, The revolutionary movement is gaining volume aa it rushes on, and every day adds to the com- plications. The news from Kansas is calculated to exssperate etili more the feelings of the Southern people. We fiid that four or five bundred armed outlaws there have organized themselves into # band of brigands te rob and murder peaceable citizens, to carry ou a war of extermination upon slavebolding communi- ties, and to repeat on a grand scale what John Brown tried on # small one. It is evident that the same «spirit of mischief which set on foot the raid upon Virginia in the fall of 1859 is still active and at work, and that the projected raids of these Kansas ontlaws upon Texas and Arkansas are part of the same general plan If these brigands be not promptly suppressed by the federal troops they will arouse a spirit of retaliation in Sonthern communities which will sweep like s devastating plague over the whole land, and will not be stayed until the country ehall have been deluged with blood. With equal steps the financial revolution is progressing. Already many of our Southern and Western cities are feeling the severity of the commercial criei#. Banks in Washington, | Richmond, Philadelphia and Baltimore are seeing themselves forced into a suspension of apecie paymenie«. A financial revulsion more dreadful than any we have ever yet experienced menaces oll the great inte- rests of the country. Where it will end no one baa the bardihood to predict or to con- template. We are emphatically taking a leap in the dark. This donble revolution, political sud finan- cial, involves not alone the people of the United States. Ite effects will be felt all over the civilized world. The American Revolution of 1776 led to the French Revolution of 1789, and to the eanguinary ware which, following that event, deluged all Europe in blood. Events at the present moment are shaping themselves into a similar course. The hostility existing on the part of one section of the Union towards the other is certainly no less bitter or intense than that which existed between the colonies and the mother country: and that feeling is hourly increasing in volume. At any moment the fotal step may be taken which will preci | ean internecine war, the very contempla el wh fe enon t 1 Aud Burope caunot help ieeuay tow saock, aud becoming herself ecdeaa in the cone ‘Tas Ouancan tacroe—Ruassoerr Aooon quences, The American revolution of 18/0 | Tus GovEeRmNe CLasses—The whiekey or«ve8, my have as terrible an echo on that coutinent fax tha! of 1776 bod.

It insures the etability of the banks themselves, and facilitates nnd hastens that change which will transfer the financial centre of the wortd from London to New York. The progress of the revolution will derange the finances of every country, and produce & commercial re- vulsion against which po firma will be abie to stand, and which may even cavse the banks of England and France to saspend. Thus we are being borne slong irresistiby in a movement which threatens to go on increasing in force and volume till finally it sweepe like # tempest over bolh hemispheres. If there be yet 4 means of svoiding these perils, that means should not be left untied The Diswrion Qacstion—A Conservative Reaction im the South, We publish this morning a significant letter from Governor Letcher, of Virginia, on the subject of the present disunion excitement in the South, Southern constititional rights Nortbern State acts of nutlification and the po sidon of Virginia in this crisis. This letter will wo far to resssnre oor conservative men of the North of the existence of & co-operative eie- ment in the South competent to prevent any precipiiate revoluttonary act of Southera disso- lution. ff forther evidence be wanted upon this point, it may be bad in the letter of the Governor of Kennucky, and in the lste Union, conservative speech of Hon. A. H. Stephens. et Georgia to the peeple of that Siste, which we laid before our readers yesterday. Fach of these three men, we doubt not, re- presents, in behalt of the Union, the sentiment of an overwhelming majority of the people of his Stale. of al! the late Presidentia) parties We expeci, too, that these opening Southern manifestations in bebalf of the Union will soon be followed up by popular assem nlages, speeches and resolutions, aud by legis lative and State Convention proceedings, trom Maryland w Louisiana and Texna, in support, not of the desperate alternative of South Caro- ina, which is a Southern republic at all hazarda, but in behalf of a general convention of the Southern States, or of all the States, to consider the ways and means of restoring harmony and «ood will between the North and the South wiibip the Union. The only danger of disunion immediately hetore vs is in South Carolina. Her State Con- vention, bowever—whiob it ia generally be lieved will declare the Suste an independeat establishment, ontaide of the Union—does not meet for several) weeks yet to come. In the interval the movements of the conservative body of the people of the surrounding siave States may induce even South Carolina to pause, reflect, and finally acquiesce in the policy ot Virginia, which is a convention of ali the Suates to rearrange on the slavery question the fundamental! landmarks and cbecks and ba Jances of the federal constitution. » We are strengthened in this impression from the recent developemeata of the views and purposes of the administration at Washington, and in consideration of the tact that Congress will reassemble on the frst Monday in Decem- ber. Thue the delegates of the South Carolins tecemion Convention will, before they meet, have time to consider the conservative recom mendations of the Preeident’s annual message, and, we bope, of some corresponding expres sions from both houses of Congress. We do not, therefore, altogether deepair of saving even South Carolina from the act of secession. Bat, granting that ebe will resolve herself out of the Union, we do not despair of bringing ber back again before any revolutionary col- lision shall have occurred between the State and federal auiborities. To this end, would it not be well for the con- servative Union men of the city of New York to initiate, in a grand popular Union demon- stration, 8 Northern movement of conciliation, concession and harmony? Coercion, fn any event, is out of the question. A Union beld together by the bayonet wonld be nothing bet ter than a military deapotiem. Conciliation and harmony, through matnal concessions, in & reconstruction of the fundamental law, be tween the North and Sonth, will restore and perpetuate the Unien contemplated by the fathers. 80, now that the conservative men of the South are moving. let the Union men of the Worth second their endeavors, and let New York, as in the matter of the compromises of 1850, lead the way. Ter Recest Sexrevces or Jover Gorin. — There is a great deal of fuss being made abont the severity of the sentences recentiy pro. nounced by Judge Gould wpon certain orimi nals in the Court of Oyer and Termiaer; bat Judge Gould is doing nothing more than fol lowing the course which Jofge Ruesel laid down for him—namely. inflicting heavy punish ment upon the perpetrators of prevalent crimes, and thereby giving s check to practioas which were a dread and # borror to the com munity. Judge Russel was the firet to inau gurate the system of dealing severely with these classes of crime, and Judge Gonid is qaive right in carrying it out. That is all that can be said of the matter, and that is enongt. Some party journals heaped a great deal of abuse at one time upon the City Judge because be sent a young man to the State prison for forty years “tor stealing a sixpence.” But the crime was a great deal more than steal- ing a sixpence—it wae an attempt to take the life of « man by garroting, a practice then so common in the streets as to render them unsafe after dark. It matters not how much money the assailed party happened to bare in hie pocket; it might hare been only sixpence, or it might have been ten thonsand dollara. The Prisoner came near taking his life as well as hi« parse, and for this he was punished. Judge Rossel’s dealing with this crime of garroting put an end to the practice at that time, but we are sorry to say that it is coming into vogue again.

The big Indians and papooses of Tammany Hall are especialiy exercised under the prospect of a reform in the oid Coa! Hole, aud the selection of respectable men as war- riorms and eachems to fill their places. Becoming detperate, they are grasping at the floating rubbish, determined, if possible, to bold their grasp and keep in power about the City Hall another term Their straggie, however, is like the dying man catching at strawa, and only shows their foriorn condition. The reported movement in Tammany and Mozart halle to shake off thia class, that bas been banging like a dead weight apon them, is only w part of the general feeling in the pub- lic mind of this city to rout, horse, foot and dragoons, the vagabonds sud pothouse politi- cians who have planted themselves about the legislature of the metropolis for the purpose of tatiening upon iis spoils and plundering the taxpayera, These philosophers, keen on 4 scent, see their coming fate, and are now trying to make the best of the ebort probation left to them. ‘There is a general disposition manifested by the better portion of our citizens, as well ae the public press, to pay uo regard to the party nominations in the coming election; the feeling amongst the property hoiders, from the Battery to Manbattanviile, is to repudiate all party claims, and select from the list of candidates put forward those who, from their ante cedeats, promise to discharge their duty wb some regard to the public inte rest. If they but adhere to this deter wination, and act upon it, they may succeed io Obtaining a respectable Board of Council men snd secure an entering wedge towards re- forming the Aidermanic Board. The nigger or the safety of the Union has nothing to do with the comiog charter election; it is simply a question of dollars aud cents, or whether we shall have an honest city government, that will not devote its whole time to concocting some scheme to increase the taxes of our citi- wns. The present indications are that there will be as many, if not more, par- ties in the Geld than there were at the Presidential election; but we trust that the general disposition now manifested not to be led by the vagaboud ward leaders will coutiaue until the ballot boxes are closed, and the ruf- fians, who have been keeping the city in a state of excitement by their operations at the City Hall, will receive euch @ repadistion that they will never consider it to their interest to make an attempt to get control of the city legislature The election is an important one to all inte- rests of the city, and if every voter lays aside bis party ‘eeling, which has nothing what ever to do with the matier, there is some nope that order may be brought out of the preseut chaos and confusion. The opportunity is presented to elean out the Augean stables. Wiil the tax- payers and property bolders discharge their duty, and protect their property from the future raveges of the wercenary bands? Tae Late Conviction Uxper tae Sunpay Law.—The late conviction aad sentence of Mr. Lindenmuller under the Sunday law shows to what an extent tunaticism can go, even in this eo- lightened aye. [t will not be contended, we suppose, that this law represeuta religion or Cbristianity. It is not based upon either, but upon tanaticism, pure and simple, and the in- tticting of pains and penalties for ao act «uch as this defeudant bas been condemued for is vir- tually no better than the burning of witches at Salem. There are in the whole world some three hundred millious of Christians, out of whom only « few thousand, perhaps, retain the super- stition of the dark ages with regard to one par- ticular day in the week; yet here we have this superstition recognized by law, and placed upon our statute books. What absardity, and what fanaticiem! What right haa any Legisla- ture to declare a thiag # crime when done ou one day in the week which is perfectly innocent on every other? Yet here is a man tried and condemned in one of our courts for doing that on a day, which « portion of the community call the Sab- bath, that he might have done with impunity on the other six days of the week —a man sen- tenced to be fined and imprisoped for éoing the same thing tbat Nidio, and Uliman, and others do six days in every week It is @ gross out- rage wpon the spirit of all law, upon common sense, and upon the rights of citizens. But there will be @ grand reaction by and by. The mat- ter haa been tested now before the courta, and perhaps it is as well that this first trial shoald have thus resulted, for the popular seatiment will rise up against thir odious law, and it will be swept from the statute books and from the records of the courte. Tue IypestniaL Cononess.--An sasemblage of pbtloropbers, calling themselves the “Ladus- trial Congress,” have beea in session in this city forthe past few days. Thelr object seems to be to revolutionize the laws of commerce which they pronounce all wrong, and arrange everytbing their own way. Now, the laws of commerce are the laws of common sense; they have grown up with the exigencies and ueees eities of the times. Every man who is possessed skill and industry, and who applies them to advantage, may become a capitalist; but those who do not so apply them never can One of the resolutions of this Industrial Congress reads as follows, and shows the drift of the whole businese:— Kewotved That the great principle of equity and jue er epee hype ped meng gh hyd Profucts of the ia borer—the culy producer of the wealth of the world should be founded, i# that all who labor—men aud wo owen —abould receive the full and eatire net product of thetr own Iabor. What does this mean? Do they want that the laborers and mechanics who build our Fifth avenue bouses shonld own them and live in them? This savors somewhat of Proudhonism; and the truth is that these philosophers, and otber abstractionists like them, are only attempt- ing to assail the rights of capitalists and property owners in the North, as the antielavery fanatics bave assailed the rights of the slaveowners in the South. Now that 9 sectional abolition party hus eucceeded #0 far in carrying out its policy against the right of property in the Southern States, we sball © eee the doctrine that property ia rod om lated bere tn the North, and the meses by ond he it boring themselves pon the abolition question, must seek freeb fields and pastures new. But there is no grea‘er or more caugerous absurdity than this attempt to aller the laws of commerce to suit the whims of a few dissatisfied abstraction ista, woo are always wandering about in search of comething to “reform.” Tur Traian Wan oe Lypersnpence—A vor Gixiwatp.—The [tatiana cause, 80 nobly and heroically battled for under the patriot Garibaldi, is still triumpbing. The army of li berty seems endowed with that invincible heroiem which overcomes ail foes. But yet to bring the struggle to® gloriously snocesstul insne, and to enable Garibaldi to proclaim the kingdom of I\aly from the steps of the Quirinal in Rome, 4 be has vowed to do, the sinews of war are needed. In yeaterday’s Hxxatp we appealed to our generous hearted citizens to form a Garibaldi fund, aad the first response we get to our appeal is a munificent one.

The edncational de- partment of our city government is one that affects every citizen, be bis station in life what it may. We have. perhape, one of the beat school eystems in the country, and it only needs to be placed in the right hands to make it what its founders intended it should be--a public biessisg. Like every other department of our city government where there Is money to be controlled, we find the lowest stratum of politi- cians trying to get control; but we trust that the lovers of order will take the matter in band, and see that men who can at least read and write, and do not spend their days in the grog- sbope, are placed in nomination for those im- portant offices. It is not too late to secure a reform in the school department. Let our citi- zens move at once, Tue Provecren Wasnisctos ORGAN FoR Ma. Livcoty’s Apsutstration.—We perceive that eome enterprising patriots of the republican faith bave made all the necessary arrangements for an organ at Wasbington to grind out the official music of Mr. Lincoln’s administration. It is to be hoped that this foolish experiment will re- ceive no countenance from “Hones: Old Abe.” For the last twenty years the Washington or. wan of every administration has been the iacu- bus that bas weighed itdown. From the day of the eetablishment of the independent news- paper press in New York, this thing of a Waab ington organ to the administration bas served bo better purpose than that of a bloodsucker upon the public treasury. Government pap, spoils and plunder are, of conrse, the only object# contemplated by the parties concerned in this Washington organ for Mr. Lincoln. He will no. want it. The associated newspaper press renders a special Washington organ a #pecial abrnrdity and a special charity hospital for beggacly newspaper party politicians, Mr. Buchanan, in spite of bimself, bud a Washington orgun fastened upon bis back; and, next to Kansas and the New York spoils democracy, this organ has ‘roubled and perplexed him. It would be better for “Honest Old Abe” to have a regular court fool forever at his elhow— staff, cap, belis, aod all—than to consent to the tuisance of a Washingtoa organ. OxsaweNTING THE Poricr Foxca.—The Com missioners of Police, with laudable anxiety to make the force ornamental as weil as useful, have lately ordered the men to appear in cloves of the latest Parisian touch, stitehed on the back. Now it appears that it is purposed to put the guardians of the peace into top boots, ro they will be perfect gentlemen, well gloved and well shod. This is well.
