There was a still further improvement in President Johnson’s health yesterday, and he hopes to beable to give attention to urgent public business daily here- after. By the steamship Nevada, which arrived here yes- terday, from Savannah on the Ist instant, we have our regular despatches from that city. Provisional Governor for Georgia, Mr. James Johnson, arrived in Savannah from Washington on last Friday evening, was serenaded, and in response made a brief address to the throng col- lected around the hotel where ho stopped. The City Council had made arrangements for giving him a public reception on the following evening, on which occasion it ‘was expected he would make an address giving some intimation of his intended policy. The news of the ap- pointment by the President of aGovernor for their State, thus affording them the prospect of a speedy restoration of civil government, was received with much satisfaction by the Georgians. Business in Savannah was still con- siderably depressed by the lack of communication with the interior, the railroad repairs not yet being completed; but the merchants hoped soon to seo a restoration of something like former activity and prosperity. ‘We are informed that in consequence of rumors in Richmond on Monday Inst that the nogroes there con- templated an insurrection, the city guards were doubled ‘and other precautionary measures taken by the military. Colono! Brown, Assistant Commissioner of Freédmen for Virgina, issued an address to the colored people of that vtato on the Fourth of July, instructing them with regard to their duties. He tells them that, having become free and placed in @ position to receive the proceeds of their labor, it re- mains for them to answer to the world whether they will be industrious and prove able to take care of them- eolves. Ho promises them tho protection and assistance of the government and all good citizens in their efforts, and warns them against idleness and vagrancy, towards which no leniency will be shown. Schools are to bo established among them, of the benefits of which they are admonished to avail themselves, and they are re- minded of th> great responsibility which now rests upon thom of shaping tho destiny of thoir race. * Our Richmond correspondence announces the arrest, ay order of government, at Raloigh, N. C., on the 20th alt. and incarceration in Castle Thunder, of Colonel Northrop, formerly Chief @ommissary of the rebol armies. Judge Oul, late rebel Exchange Commissioner, has been released from confinement, the charges mado against him of benig a participant in the inhuman treat- mont of Union soldiers not having been sustained. It is said that the rebel ex-Mayor Mayo, of Richmond, has avowed his determination to be a candidate for ro-olec- tion to that office, in defiance of the national government. General Hatch, commanding the district of Charleston, South Carolina, has learned that some of the planters, in their contracts for labor made with the freedmen, have introduced clauses establishing a system of pconage, the negro being bound to work out any debthe may horeatter incur to his employer. In consequence the G noral has issued an order de:laring that all such con- tracts are null. He also gives notice that in these con- tracts no language must be introduced intimating that the planters design at some future day to contest the question of the omancipation of tho negroes. Dr. Mackey, the new Collector of Customs for Charleston, arrived in that city from the North on tho 20th ult., and bad an enthusiastic reception. One hundred and seventy rebels received the Presi- dential pardon yesterday, and nearly two hundred addi- tional applications for this favor were filed at the At- torney General's office, the large majority in each case being North Carolinians. The government is rapidly returning to thoir homes in the South the rebel prisonors of war, and all of them excepting those who prefer remaining at the North will soon be back in their native States, The steamers Salvor and Idaho, together carrying nine hundred liberated rebel soldiers from Newport's News and Point Lookout, dostined for Charleston, Savannah and Mobile, passed Fortress Monroe on the 3d Inst. Altogether forty-two thousand eight hundred recently imprisoned rebel soldiers have been discharged under the recent War De- | partment orders for that purpose. We give this morning additional particulars of the grand celebration of the Fourth in diffrent parts of the country, including farther details of the ceremonies con- nected with the laying of the corner stone of the soldiers’ monument in the National Cemetery at Gettysburg and the brilliant reunion of the officers of the Army of the nen vorseee at Saratoga, Maj’ General Low. Wallace bas written a long lotter to military friend on the idea of voluntary emigration € Mexico for the purpose of taking up arma in the Liberal cause, in which he declares that to do #0 would be no infringement of international law, nor would It be prevented by Presi- dent Johnson. He encourages the measure, on the ground that Prosident Juarez is “fighting our battles,’ that the neutrality of the United States government fs a recognition of Maximilian, and that the conduct of Na- poleon in Mexico is a fraud upon England and Spain, and fs violation of the tripartite convention of those Powers with France in 1861. The General goes intoa long his. tory of French aggression in Mexico, and strongly urges that now is the time, while the Juarez government still ‘exists, for Americans to throw their power on ite side, He thinks that the fratermization of the North and South will be facilitated by # foreign war. Ho says:— Unite the “Reb” and the “Fed” once more the old flag; let them show the French filrbuster how thoy fought each other; above all, give thom to win \te tegies ot Matarcorog and Sap Lig Kyiyals avs Sew 19 . under $$$ HERALD carry the patriot Benito Juarez in triumph back to his © | ancent city of Mexico, and , they will quit talking about Shiloh and Chancellorsvitle, Gettysburg and Chickamauga. A petition from the Italian press to President Johnson, Dogging him to accord a general amnesty to all the rebels, without distinction, is published in the Count Cavour, a Turin newspaper. The position of the Austrian representative in Wash- ington, Count Wydenbruck, has been raised from that of Minister Resident to Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleuipotentiary. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. ‘The steamship Morro Castle, from Havana on the 1st instant, arrived here yesterday. Her only news of par- ticular interest is that from Mexico, which represents the progress of events there to be highly favorable to the imperialists. It is claimed that they are steadily advanc- ing in nearly every portion of the country, defeating and Scattering the republican troops and securing posses- sion of the principal important towns. Now that Presi- dent Juarez, as reported, has beon forced to flee from Chihuahua, his capital, the imperial officers are sangu tne of soon capturing him or compelling him to leave his country. Maximilian bas his Minister of Public Instruction to seo that a system of educa- tion for the youth of the country shall be immediately established. He says this is a matter in which the olergy of Mexico have hitherto, unfortunately, taken little or no part; but hereafter they will have to give attention to it. ‘The anniversary of the landingon Mexican soil of the Emperor and Empress was duly celebrated in a number of towns by balls, iluminations and other ceremonies. ‘The steamship Alhambra, from Charleston on the 2d inst., arrived here yesterday. On the 26th ult. the Albambra, on her trip from this city to Charleston, col} lided with the schooner Wonder, Captain Smith, from Nouritas, Cuba, for this port. The schooner was cut in two and instantly sunk, and her captain and two of her passongers wore drowned, and the mate was badly in- jured. The Alhambra received but little damage, and there were no casualties among those on board of her. In the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in Philadel- phia, yesterday, Judge Thompson ordered tho release of Cozens, arrested by the military authorities on charge of defrauding the government, and delivered an opinion that the President has no right to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, except during the continuance of war. At the meoting of the Board of Education last evening the charge of the alleged attempt to defraud Mrs. Presto, ‘a soldier's widow, out of $129 63, against H. H. Lee, school trustee of the Nineteenth ward, came up in tho form of a report from the special committee, from which it appeared that the evidence against Lee was in- suflicient to establish that the monoy was obtained with ‘a fraudulent purpose, and that the complaint against him should be dismissed. The report was adopted almost unanimously, after a long discussion. No other business of importance came up. On Tuesday evening a train, consisting of an engine and the President’s car, returning from the Fourth of July celebration at Gettysburg, Pa, on the Northern Central Railroad, when near Baltimore, was, bya mis- placed switch, brought into collision with the rear of a freight train. The train contained several of the foreign ministers and other gentlemen. Mr. Asta Burnaga, the Chilean Minister, and Colonel Halpine, the poet of the Gettysburg demonstration, were severely injured about the head, and several others received bruises of s less serious character. ~ The fifteenth annual! commencent of St. Francis Xavier's College took place last evening in presence of a largo assemblage of ladies and gentlemen who witnessed the various exercises with much pleasure. Archbishop McCloskoy presided. ‘The case of George D. Kellogg against W. D. Mann and Daniel Stratton, Jr., who are charged by Mr. Kellogg with having defrauded him out of money by false repro- sentations regarding the United Service Petroleum and Mining Company, in which all parties were interested, was again undor investigation yesterday. The only wit- ness examined was Mr. George G. Hartings, at prosent the Treasurer of said company, and after his examination and crogs-oxamination the case was further adjourned till next Saturday morning at nine o'clock. ‘Tho investigation was yesterday concluded before Jus- tice Dowling, in the Tombs Police Court, in the cage of John Sevicre aud George Keister, charged with winning over thirteen thousand dollars, at the game of faro, at Miogara Falls, from Ogden Mende, of Little Rock, Ark., and the acoused were discharged, owing to the offence not having been committed in this county. Immediately on the reloase of the prisoners, however, they were re- arrested by the Sheriff of Niagara county, and taken thither for trial. The residence of Dr. Purcell, 61 Henry street, was, early on Tuesday morning, entered and robbed of about threo hundred dollars worth of silver waro by burglars, who succeeded in making their escape. ‘The police magistrates made the following commit- ments yesterday :—Samuel B. Webber, formerly a rebel soldier, charged with having, by representing himself as Joweph Shepherd, son of B. A. Shepherd, of Houston, Texas, defrauded Mr. Aaron L. Reed, of 83 John street, by procuring from him a loan of money ; Peter Matthews, keoper of a James slip porter house, on charge of assault- ing a lodger in bis house, William Thousey, 26% Hamilton street, and robbing him of three hundred dollars; Patrick Oates and Bartholomew Griffin, charged with assaulting Mr. William Dayton of 616 Sixth avenue, carly yesterday morning, in a Fifth avenue stage, brutally beating him and stealing from him a twelve hundred dollar diamond breastpin, and ‘Thomas Clark, proprietor of a place of entertainment at No. 1 Division street, his wife and three or four other persons found in the place, on the charge that the house has been the resort of vile charactors of both sexes, On examining Clark’s premises the police discovered about five hundred dollars in counterfeit five dollar bills on the Weybossett Bank, of Providence, R. L, and some coun- terfeit fifty cent fractional currency. Unless a further reprieve shnll be granted by the Go- vernor, Charles H. Waiters, respited on the 23d ult., will be executed to-morrow at the Tombs for the number of Nancy Vincent. His counsel is at Albany using every endeavor to have the Executive clemency again exerted im his behalf. A fire, which it is supposed was ignited by fireworks on the previous evening, was discovered early yesterday morning in the music printing establishment in rear of No, 18 Wooster street, It destroyed about twelve thou- sand dollars’ worth of stock and damaged the building to the extent of fifteen hundred dollars. The furniture in the front building and in the premises 23 Greene street was somewhat damag»| by water. A fire late on Tuesday night at No, 372 Fourth street destroyed the roof of the building and did damage alto- gethor estimated at between seven and cight hundred dollars. A brick stable at No, 08 East Sixteonth street was destroyed yesterday afternoon by fire ignited by sparks from an adjacent biacksmith shop. The loss on building and personal property was about eight hundred dollars, on which there was full insurance. Our city dog pound at the foot of Twenty-fifth street, East river, was opened for the season on the 12th ult., and during the three weeks ending on Monday last there had been received into ft two thousand two hundred and ten dogs, found astray and unmuzaled on the streets. Of these two thousand one hundred and forty-four were killed, only sixty-six being reclaimed by their owners. The stock market opened firm yesterday, then weak- ened, but afterwards recovered the decline, Govern- ments were a fraction higher. Gold was languid, and after opening at 14034, closed at 13934 on the street. The night closing quotation was 1803. ‘There was but little change in business circles yester- day compared with the closing days of last week. The absence of merchants was @ prominent feature in some departments, and business was some- what restricted by it, but as @ general thing, there was but little inclination to do business. There were some exceptions tothe general rule, and the active speculative movement in cotton, engendered by the European news, was one. Foreign goods were quiet, Groceries were strong, with an advancing tendency. Cotton was in active demand at an advanes of bp. a 6c., middling having sold as high as 400. 0 600, Petroloum was very quiet. On ’Change flour ‘and grain and provi- sions were all firmer, with a fair demand, Whiskey was quiet but firm. ‘According to the City Inspector's report there were 511 deaths in. the elty during the week ending July 3— ‘an increase of 63 as compared with the mortality of the woek previous, and 60 less than occurred during the corresponding week last year, Of the deaths which oo- curred during the past week, 285 resulted from acute diseases, 191 from chronto diseases, and 36 from oxternal causes, &c. ‘There were 360 natives of the United States, 94 of Ireland, $ of England, 81 of Germany, 4 of Soot Jandy pad Was balance o various foroign countries, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1865. The Situation of the Country—The New | liam the great filibuster; in some respects it Start of the Republic. The eighty-ninth anniversary of the Ameri- can nation has passed, and we now take a new start in history. When we consider what this country has accomplished in less than a cen- tury we are amazed; but what we have accom- plished is as nothing compared to what we shall achieve during the next one hundred years, For the last four years the strength of this government, which had already been tested by several small rebellions and a foreign war, has” been still more severely tried by a vast insurrection, and it has shown itself fully equal to any demand which can be made upon it. We have now got rid of the dogma of State rights; we have got rid of the odious institution of slavery; we have got rid of the latent hoe- tility between the two sections of the country, and we have got rid of the rule of stereotyped politicians. Consequently we are now in a splendid condition to take a new start and re- deem all the errors of the past. We shall start under the very best auspices, Our flag, which foreign nations and domestic traitors sought to tear in half, is now honored and respected all over the world. All of the seceded States are now in the Union, firmly and safely, with the single exception of the peninsula of Florida, which was of very little account before or during the war, and which now only awaits the appointment of s pro- visional governor. President Johnson has 80 well managed the work of reconstruction, or rather of restoration, that the whole country has united in his support, as it united to sup- port Washington and Lincoln. The politicians are therefore at a disadvantage. They can- not defend President Johnson, since nobody attacks him; and they are equally unable to attack him, since everybody is ready to volun- teer in his defence. To keep them in this posi- tion, like serpents with their fangs drawn, is the purpose of all true patriots; and so long as President Johnson continues in the admirable line of policy which he has marked out for himself, there will be no necessity for the existence of more than one party in the republic. An opposition cannot exist without something to oppose; and hitherto no one has found anything to oppose under the adminis- tration of President Johnson. Even the radi- cals, who are chronic fault-finders, have ceased their grumbling, seeing that nobody considered it worthy of serious attention, and that it was not at all likely to lead to any practical results. This sudden cessation of the radical fan- faronade is one of the best proofs of the unan- imity of the country. The work before us during the next decade is by no means easy, and yet it is by no means beyond our powers. In the first place, wo must reorganize and reinvigorate the South. That region, which has been blasted and deso- lated by the war, must be made to blossom like the rose. This can only be done by the aid of Northern capital and the hearty and cordial efforts of the Southerners themselves. Intimately acquainted as we are with the peo- ple of both sections, we have not the slightest doubt that this work will be speedily accom- plished in the handsomest possible style. In the second place, there is the question of negro suffrage, which underlies the future prosperity of the South. If the Southerners are wise they will at once grant the negroes a vote and guard it by such educational or property quali- fications as are now in force in Massachusetts and New York. To these quatifications noone can possibly object, and the simple fact that the South has willingly complied with the de- mand for negro suffrage will do more to re- establish the Union than a thousand victories in the field. Besides this, it will give the South the control of several hundred thousand new votes, which will otherwise fall into the hands of the radical leaders of the North, and it will enable the Southern States to secure a speedy representation in Congress, if not in the other departments of the government. We believe that the Southerners have learned wisdom enough during the war to consent to what is inevitable, and that negro suffrage is conse- quently a thing accomplished. In the third place, the national debt must be paid. When the South is regenerated and is laboring hand in hand with the North, there will be no diffi- culty in regard to our debt. Everything is therefore favorable for a new start on the path of empire, and the situation of the country is really as excellent as could be desired. Tar Oxp Porstican Leapers or THE Soura.— The war has made sad havoc of the old political leaders of the South. They havo been buried among the ruins of their political temple of slavery, and very few of those who have survived the catastrophe will recover from their wounds. Such men as Jeff. Davis, Mason, Slidell, Breckinridge, Hunter, Wigfall, Clement C. Clay, Jake Thompson, Barnwell Rhett, Howell Cobb, Toombs, Ste- phens, Henry A. Wise, Extra Billy Smith and all that set of democratic expounders ofslavery and State sovereignty and the Southern rights of nullification, secession and repudiation. While General Jackson was in power he beld these Southern fire-eaters and revolutionists, with their great apostle Calhoun, in complete subjection to the sovereign authority of the Union; but with the retirement of Old Hickory to the Hermitage these Southern ultras took the control of the national democratic party, and managed ft and the government to snit their purposes, down to the start. ling revolutionary tt of that fatal Kansas-Nebraska bill, with its repeal of the Missouri compromise. Thus began the final disruption of the old national democratic party, and at Charleston and Baltimore in 1860, that job was completed. The Northern Doug- las democracy would not consent to the abso- lute surrender of the Territories to Southern slavery; but insisted that the people of the Territories had the right to settle that business for themselves. But as the Southern Kansas experiment on that platform had failed, the Southern ultra leaders cut loose from Douglas, out loose from the North, and resolved by force of arms to establish their long cherished scheme of o grand independent pro-slavery, Southern confederacy. In this, too, they have failed; for, like the wicked King Belshazzar, they “have been weighed in the belances and found want- ing,” and their kingdom has been turned over to the “Medes and Persians”—that is, to the “ Northern mudsills and the poor whites of the South.” The revolution thus effected in the South is quite as astonishing as any other revolution in the history of mankind. In some respects it resembles the revolution wrought in England over the Saxona by the Normans, under Wil- | WASHINGTON. The President’s Health Much Improved. resembles the overthrow of the Bourbons of France, while the flight of Jeff. Davis may be compared to that of James the Second, with this difference, that Jameg was permitted to es- cape, while Jeff. was caught napping. The overthrow of Davis and his school of Southern fire-eaters, is as complete as was that of the old English Saxons, or that of the Jacobites by William of Orange, and much more decisive than the overthrow of the Bourbons in the vol- canic eruption of the first French popular Revo- lution. A new race of politicians, under a new order of things,and governed by new ideas, will now supersed@ the old politi- cal leaders of the South. They must be con- tent with the issue of the war. It has demol- ished their confederacy, and their “peculigr institution,” and the heresies upon which it was founded, and these men must stand aside until the work of reorganization in the South is ac- complished. This is the programme of Presi- dent Johnson, and the masses of the loyal States and the loyalists of the South will carry it through. Exrorarion 10 THE Wesi.—We have fre- quently urged the wisdom of the over crowded masses in this and other large cities migrating to the rich and fertile regions of the West, as a matter of profit to themselves and relief to the towns and cities of the Atlantic States. We publish in another column a very suggestive and sensible communication on this subject. There is no doubt that thousands of able-bodied emigrants from Europe who squat in our East- ern cities, eking out a precarious and unhappy existence, could find a competence as culti- vators of the soil in such States as Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the farther Territories on the Pacific slope. Neither the health nor the morals of this class are improved by residence in a crowded city, while their labor and indus- try are needed in the West. Shut up in tene- ment houses they become the prey of con- tagious diseases and help to increase the mor- tality and the taxation of the city. On the Western prairies they will soon become a ro- bust and stalwart people, contributing to the wealth of the country and their own weal at the same time. Sgvaton Wmson on Necro Svrrrace.— Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, in an enthu- siastic speech to the “freedmen” at Washington on the Fourth, took very strong ground and made some very strong promises in behalf of negro suffrage; but he still putin a saving reservation in support of President Johnson. How all this is to end we cannot tell; but one thing appears to be pretty certain, that if the republican radicals break with Andy Johnson on negro suffrage, the masses of the Northern democracy will step in to fill the vacuum. John Van Buren makes this prediction, and he is casting about for a new platform, a new leader and a new departure for the democratic party. Tae Heaura ov Present Jonnsox.—We are gratified to learn that President Johnson will, in all probability, be ready to go to work again, as “a full hand,” within a day or two. We would still advise him, however, to fall back from the spoilsmen of Washington and tho malaria of the Potomac to the salubrious heights north of the city, and to remember that the days of his youthful elasticity and powers of endurance are gone, while the maintenance of his health at this crisis is a matter of supreme importance to the country. Heewann, Tee Presnpicrrariax.—Mr. Hermann, who has just returned from Eastorn Europe and Egypt, where he has been bewildering the Sultan and his ladies, and stupefying the Pacha with his wonderful performancos, has engaged the Academy of Music for the latter part of Septembor and part of October, when he will introduce ‘an entirely new programme of clever tricks which he bas originated during his Oriental tour. This announce- ment will no doubt be agreeable to many who remem- ber his former performances. Mr. Hermann is unques- tionably the most skilful prostidigitarian in this country. Continued Importunity ‘of Rebels for Executive Clemency. A Considerable Number Par- doned Yesterday, &e., &. ke, Wasuinaron, July 5, 1865. IMPROVEMENT IN THE HEALTH OF THE PRESIDENT. The President was dressed and out of bed a portion of to-day for the first time since his illness became serious. He expects to attend to urgent business daily hereafter, ‘but has by no means wholly recovered. Judge Advocate Holt was the only person permitted to see the President on business to-day, and itis surmisad called by appointment in relation to the findings of the Military Commission. Nothing has transpired in relation to them. THE APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON. Nearly two hundred applications for pardon were received at the Attorney General’s office to-day, ono hundred and ten of which were from residents of North Carolina, The balance were mainly Virginians, PARDONS GRANTED. About one hundred and seventy applications for par- don were granted to-day, of which one hundred and thirty were from North Carolinians recommended by Governor Holden. EX-MINISTER FAULKNER NOT PARDONED. ‘Thore is the best authority for contradicting the report that Charles J, Faulkner, of Virginia, has boen pardoned by the President, who has not as yet acted in the case. Therefore all that has been published in this matter is premature. INTERESTING TO APPLICANTS FOR HOMESTEADS. ‘To prevent the impositions practiced on soldiers and others by unauthorized and irresponsible land and claim agents, it should be generally known that persons in the military and naval service, and all others entitled to thom, can procure homesteads on surveyed public lands by making direct application to the United States Dis- trict land office for the Stato or Territory in which they propose to settle, on payment of the foes fixed by law, without any intermediate agoncy. Delay, vexation, and additional exponse will be avoided by acting upon this suggestion. VIOLATION OF INDIAN TREATIES. The Indians on tho Delawaro Diminished Reserve lately mado such complaints of encroachments on thoir grounds by the whites as to induce Mr. Pratt, of the Delaware agency, to call upon the military commander of Fort Leavenworth for assistance in protecting thoir rights. Tho commandant declined to intorfero, and Mr. Pratt has appealed to the head of bis bureau here “for such an order from the President or Secretary of War as will enable him to protect the Indians, Among otber treaty infringements, the Indians clatm that herders and drovers habitually graze thous- ands of cattle on their reservation, and consumo the grass and pasturage necessary for the subsistance of their own animals. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs con. curs in the views of Mr. Pratt, and hopes to obtain the necessary authority to end the abuses. Tho practical difficulty, however, is that in this, as in former instances, should the military authorities drive all squatters off the reservation, they would reappear in twonty-four hours after the troops wore withdrawn. Should they subsequently be arrested the civii courts will releage them on habeas corpus and fail to try or convict them. The public sontimont there favors tho squatter, and the enforcement of laws or treaties is next to an impossibility. Gencral Pope has had an interview with the Secreta- ries of War and tho Interior to-day in relation to Indian affairs, A meeting is arranged for discussing the subject fully to-morrow at the White House. Secretaries Stan- ton snd Harlan and Genetals Grant and Pope will submit their views to the President, DELEGATES FROM INDIANS‘GATELY IN HOSTILITY TO THE GOVERNMENT ON THEIR WAY TO WASHING- ‘TON. Delegates to the number of seventy, from fourteen Indian tribes who have boen in hostility to the United States during the late rebsllion, are now on their way to ‘Washington, with the object of making treatios of por- petual peace and of being reinstated in tho rights and benefits which they forfeited by taking up arms in behalf of the insurgents. THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE WHITES AND BLACKS OF FLORIDA—THE CROPS OF THE STATE. Arcport has just been recelved at the Freedman’s Bureau from two agents, who have recently traversed the entire Stato of Florida on horseback, in regard to the re- lations now existing between the whites and blacks of that State and the present prospect of crops. Thess gen- tlomen say there are no armed rebols in Florida, and that the white population everwhere expressed the most ardent wish for @ continuation of peace. Thoy found very crude notions existing among the people concern- ing the negroes; but it seemed generally understood and acquiesced in that slavery was at an end. In many places the nogroes had made bargains with their old mastors for wages and had gone to work cheorfully. In other localities the former rights of tho master to flog and paddle the blacks severely for trifling offenses had not been entirely abandoned; but other methods of pun- ishment were being gradually adopted. Tho agents Tus Faxrm op Visnxu.—At the new German theatre, opposite the Old Bowery, the Fakir of Vishnu, a re- nowned wizard and “polophonist,”” will commence s grand carnival of fun and conjuring on Monday ovening next. His programme promises extraordinary things in the way of “papiionaceous mysteries,” ‘‘piscatorial para- doxes,” and other feats known only, we presume, to the initiated in prestidigitarianism. The Inter Revenue. INCOMES OVER TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE EIGHTH AND SEVENTH DISTRICTS, ETC. Wo give below an additional list of income returns over twonty-five thousand dollars in the Eighth district. In this district all tho assessment rolls will not be in before the latter part of this month :— 1863. 42°04, | tabored to enlighten both whites and blacks, and to ex. * gaa,cae 44:34 | piain the intentions of tho government towards both. — 60,700 | They found the negroes very teachable, and possessing ‘70,008 $8,863 | unbounded confidence in all Northern men. It is, there- 10,000 £9,631 | fore, doubly important that great care be exercised in — 61,565 | selecting government agents, as many designing and be arent unscrupulous men wore already beginning to prey upon 6;800 25,670 | the negroes. The latter were informed that they and 27,361 29,327 | their posterity were forevor free, and would be protected oes 35,166 | in thoir freedom. They wore told that their freedom was 000 31443 | brought to them there; that they need not leave their old 18 | homes to obtain it; but were advised, on the contrary, to hire themselves to their former masters whenever practicable, and to be industrious, faithful laborers. The prospects for coming crops were not so bad as anticipated, As @ gonoral rulo the crops will not suffer for lack of labor. THR AUSTRIAN MINISTER AT WASHINGTON RAISED TO FIRST CLASS RANK. According to the official Vienna Gasette of tho 17th ult. the Emperor of Austria has promoted his Minister resi- dent in Washington, Count Wydenbruck, to Envoy Ex- traordinary and Minister Pienipotentiary to the United States of America, Count Wydenbruck, though a short time here, has siyen ‘on several occasions evidence of his diplomatic ability and good fecling towards this country; ‘and, by his promotion, the Austrian government shows the importance in which it holds its relations with the United States. THE “HIGH WINE” QUESTION. ‘The statement of a cotemporary that the “high wine” question before the Secretary of the Treasury during the past week Is to be decided on Thursday is premature and untrue, The owners wore represented by counsel, and made such representations as induced Commissioner Lewis to recommend a compromise that was not satis- factory to Mr. McCulloch, Some additional testimony ‘was thought necessary by the owners, as well as by the Secretary, and the whole consideration of the subject ‘was postponed until this could be obtained. No decision is expected within a fortnight. RETURN OF GENERAL GRANT. General Grant and staff returned from Albany this evening. MAPS AND SURVEYS OF WESTERN RAILROADS.

THE OOLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT AND PRESIDENT JUABES. ‘The official paper of the Colombian government (for- merly New Granada) recently published a decree issued by the Colombian Congress, declaring that President Juarez, of Mexico, has deserved well of America, in view of the indomitable perseverance he has evinced in the defence of the independence and freedom of his country, and that thoy regard his virtues and patriotism as afford- ing an example to the Colombian youth. The decree algo provides that a portrait of President Juarez be placed in the national ‘library of Bogota with a suitable inscrip- tion, HOTEL GossIP. The friends of Mr. Blatchford cannot understand how he lost the Assistant Sub-Treasurership. Mr. Lincoln, it ig alleged, made him a square promise that ho should succeed Mr. Stewart, and the President was informed of the circumstance. Mr. Weed wrote one of his peculiar letters to the latter, endorsing his fidus Achaies in the strongest manner. Vermilyea was driven off the course, and somebody in New York knows how. And yet the President declined acting as administrator of Mr. Lincoln’s political estate and handed the whole matter ‘over to the Secretary of the Treasury, as one rightly portaining to him, and whore the responsibility of the appointment naturally rests, The opposition to Mr. B. was very decided, and on the ground chiefly that he was alawyer and an active politician and partisan, who might make his office subordinate to local politics, and had no experience as a banker or financier. Mr. Van Dyke's appointment was so satisfactory in New York that the wealthiost men volunteered to become bis bail without his knowledge before thefarrangement was made, Mr. Field’s appointment to Berlin was refused by Mr. Seward, because it had already been secured to Mr. Harrington. Then, again, the President refused to inter- fere with the department, whose duty it is to select our foreign agents. Strong efforts were made to secure a different incumbent for the Now York Collectorship, and had it been delayed, the opposition would have beer successful. It is sald, however, that Mr. Raymond, who had another candidate, and oxpected to be Speaker, is now appeased, and will havo as much influence with the subordinate appointments of Mr. Field as if he had beem successful with his own man. Mr. Odell’s chances for tho Naval Office are not as bright as they were. Notwithstanding the denial in tho Times it is under- stood that Mr. Seward has placed his office at the dis- posal of the President, which was a stroke of policy, i nothing more. If Mr. Preston King will take the Naval Office it is probably at his service, but he may look higher, and wit not look in vain. A report prevails that the Ninth army corps isto be mustered out immediately as an organization, but no official prder has yet been made public concerning it. The samo is true of the removal of General Hancock's hoad- quarters to Baltimore. NEW PATENTS. One hundred and forty patents were issued by the Commissioner of Patents on Monday.
