Cnaxtustox, & €., July 1, 1865. ORNERAL KR. JUPLEY arrived here last Wednesday, and is an applicant for fyocial pardon. HON. WILLIAM D. PORTER, forthe last six years President of the State Senate, is another exception and applicant for executive clemency. ARRIVAL OF THE ALILAMBRA. ‘Mee steamship Albambra arrived bere about noon on ‘Wednesday, several hours behind time, having hada very rough passage, and colliding with the schooner Wonder, Captain Smith, from Nuevitas, Cuba, bound to ‘New York. The schooner was instantly sunk, and Cap- tain Smith and two passengers lost. The Alhambra ex- porieneed a great shock, causing for a time much confu- sion among the passengers. She sustained but very little injury. I append the statements of the officers and pass pgers:— STATEMENT OF AN OPPICER, About half-past three A. M. on the 26th inst. , the steam- ship Albambra, bound from New York to this port collided ‘with the topsail schooner Wonder, striking her amidships ‘on the port side, and Iterally catting her in two, when she sunk instantly. The captain and two passengers on the schooner were lost, and the mate badly injured, both legs being broken in two places, The schooner suddenly changing her course was the cause of this fatal accident. There were no casuaities on board the Albambra, and the veasel is almost uninjured. ‘The following is « list of the ‘crew and passengers of the Wonder, for whose rescue every poss.ble exertion was made by the officers and erew of the Alhambra :— Captain J. T. =mitb, lost. Walter White, mate, badly injured, David Kenney, supercargo, saved. Thomas Taylor, steward, saved. Johu McLean, seaman, saved. James Peters, seaman, saved. Job Allen, seaman, saved. Aobert Cuman, passenger, lost, Heury Brandt, passenger, lost. SCATEMENT OF PAYBENGRRS. Ve, the undersigned, passengers on board the steam- ship Albambra, on her trip from New York to Charies- ton. leaving New York June 24, 1865, ‘on deck, and eye witness’s of the accident by the fopeail prreto Wonder Beir) run ad 2g in two by the O wut half-past three A. M., on the morning atthe eth inst., do hereby testify to the fact that tain Benson, commanding steamship Alhambra, First Officor Newbegin, and none of the ofitcers or crew of that ‘veswel are, in any way, responsible for the ‘wherei y the lives of three of those on board of the schooner were lost and the mate of the schooner very severely injured. First Officer Newbegin had charge of ‘the de'k at the time, and it is our opinion that, under Providence, we are mdebied to his presence of mind and Prompt ction for the safety of the Alhambra and all the wes on board of her. The schoon:r was plainly seen by the .Ibambra, and the usual precautions taken ju passing to watch the lights, Had the schooner kept in her course no accident would have hap- peued, but, by come fatal mistake, the helm on the schooner was put the wrong way, and she was running directly for us, 80 that her bow would have struck us on the broadside, and, in all \probabilicy, both vessels would havo been iost, had not Mr. Newbegin, with admirable presence of mind, realized the whole difficulty of the situation, and of two evils chose the least. Seeing that avollision was inevitable, and having no other alterna- tive, he ordered the helm of the Alhambra to be put hard ‘port, which reversed the position of the vossels, and ametend of the steamer receiving the shock from the schooner, she ran into the schooner. It is proper to state that Mr. Newbegin, as oon as he saw that a collision was Imevitable, ordered the engine stopped and reversed. k. L DAVENPORT, Charleston Pilot. JOHN CARNIGHAN, Charleston Pilot.

Mackey and lady arrived on the Alhambra, ‘and had a grand reception apd welcome home. By the arriva! of the steam revenue cutter Kankakee on Saturday, bringing Mr. R. 8. Andros, charged with She duty of the reorganization of the Southern custom houses, intelligence was received that the Doctor might be expected on the Alhambra. A meeting was held, which was pamerously attended, and a committee ap- pointed to make arrangements for a bearty welcome heme. A large crow gathered on the wharf. When pprised of the pro- To) rprive, but readily ac- Quresced ip the wishes of their friends. Af-er a warm shaking of hands all around, the Doctor ‘Was escorted by two of the committee from the boat to ‘the wharf. He was introduced to the chairman by Mr. Robert James, who said:—“‘Allow me, Mr. Chairman, to —— to you our distinguished and highly honored low citizen, Dr. Albert G. Mackey, Collecior of the Port of Charleston.”” Mr. Kirk, in behalf of the committee, said:— Mr. Collector—As chairman of the Committee of Re- ception, allow me to extend to you, sir, on your arrival home, our heartfelt welcome, With joy and pleasure ‘we have read the chronicle of the ovents as they tran- spired in the course of your late visit among our breth- ‘Ten of tbe North.

THE LABOR QUESTION. ‘This contmues to absorb and engross the minds of the people in every section of the State. General Hatch, on the 24th ult., issued the following order :— General Orders—No. 04. Inermor, D. &., Cnanteaton, 8. C., June 24, 1865. It bas come to the knowledge of the District Com- mander (bat, in some of the contracts made between planters and freedmen, « clause bas been introduced beg rng system of je—the freedman bind- ing himself to work ont any debt he may hereafter incur to his om) All contracts, made under headquarters, will be under- stood as merely temporary arrangements to insure the cultivation of the ground for the present sea- sop.

The officers having ¢ ‘of con- tracts will examine them carotully; and when are found to contain such clause,’ will notify the planters that new contracts must be made, in which the objectionable feature will be omitted. Contracts will be simply worded; while acknowledging the freedom of the colored man, such expressions as ‘‘freed by the acts of the military forces of the United States’’ will not be permitted. The attempt to introduce into the contract which may have the appearance of an intention, at some fature day, to contest the question of the emauetpation of the ni will be re ed to the cormmander of the sub-district, who will examine into the antecedents of the person making the attempt, and re- port upon the case to district headquarters. oo mand of Brevet Major Genoral JOHN P.

Brady and M. Cassidy, which was for $2,000, five miles out. Soon after noon crowds began to gather around the gate where the money wae taken for admittance, a few of whom paid the entrance fee, while the majority made a rush and passed in without a “by your leave.” Of the twelve or fifteen hundred who were within the enclosure two hun- dred only walked up to the captain’s office; but, not- withstanding their rather rough way of gaining admission, they behaved astonishingly well after they were inside. This, probably, was accounted for by having everything net own ‘way. About three o’clock the tetlase of Brady and Cassidy were pi the race, and the judges having been in men soon afterwards on the track, Brady dressed in sky blue long drawers and light shirt, while Cassidy had by rize fighters, cricketers and base ball <n Brady io adecided favorite, and long odds ‘were offered on his wit » At the start Brady took the lead, Cassidy running in bebind him as close as he could without interfering.

Some persons on the spot represent the republicans as very much dispirited and disheartened by the action taken by the government and authorities of the United States in rolation tothe “emigration” scheme. It is quite natural that such should be the case, and we may even, without much difficulty, agree with those who pre- Gict a speedy end to the war. Editors will continue to Prove that Maximilian has failed, and to assert that the ountry is rapidly returning to the old system of things. Ido not remember, in short, to have ever seen a sound. editorial article on affairs in Mexico; but, granting that there have been many such—dato, ma non concesso—they Bavo:proved but poor prophecies, for France appears more determined than ever to protect and support Maximilian; while the latter, newspapers to the con- trary, evinces no desire to pack up his trunk and go ome. The late energy aniong guerilla parties is no doubt due to the expected aid from the United States, ‘and now that no more need be hoped for from that quar- ter, the multitude of chiefs and followers will gradually dwindle away. Juarez is without money, and though patriotism may work miracles, it cannot get along alto- gether without hard dollars, I find, for instance, the following in the Santa Fe (New Mexico) Gazette:— Juarez has with him not above two thousand men, wae clothed, and the greater part without shoes. They receive eightéen cents a day, on which they must live. The rity of the people of Chihuahua would hail ‘with delight the entry of the French, not preci love for these, but because they would relieve them from the onerous and forced they have groaned under for three years, The State of Chihuahua pays at nt a tax of twenty-five thousand dollars a month, city six thougand four hundred, and Paso del Norte eight thousand. Payment is required in gold and silver, whilo the only money in circulation is copper, which is ata discount of twenty-five per cent. The wniter of the above extract may not be correct, however, for it is rather singular, for instance, that Chihuahua City, with a population of fifteen or sixteen thousand, should pay less than Paso de! Norte, the popu- lation of which is less than half, while it is equally strange that id and silver should collected in such large quantities when there is none in circulation. Still, be the statement ever so incorrect, there is no getting over the fact that Juarcz is in aes, tight fix, and will be he files the country or is cap- tured, for Maximilian and his advisers now see that while Juarez remains his presence affords a pretext for a continuance of the war, while it is also equally clear that Juarez is notthe man to.abandon party, principle and ition, and throw himself at the fect of the Austrian. is. therefore, to be hunted down. ‘The twenty thousand dollars sent by Maximilian to the city of Oajaca have been so prudently laid ont that eighty of the houses injured or destroyed during tho bom! \- menthave been restored. They are of astyle —’ somewhat from those on the Fifth avenue, eighty ot which could scarcely be rebuilt for twenty thousand dol- Jers. General Douay was expected to arrive at any moment on his retarn from Europe. A number of volunteers for the pause legion are com.ng over with him on thetrans- ju ra, ‘Sinaloa is reported tranquil. General Francisco Ortega has submitted to the empire, and General Castagny has congratulated General Lozada (Moxican) for the manner fn which he has conducted matters in that department. By tho way, they say that among other pacificatory means Lozada was the almost incredible oue of ordering his wife, two sons and about forty others to ‘be shot. J have seen it asserted in a newspay pub- lished in Mexico city, but would rather not believe it. An attempt was made latcly by a guerilla party to lib- erate a lot of convicts on their way from Tampico to the capital, to be placed on some public work. A desperate fight ensued between the guerilleros and the guard, which ended in favor of the , after many lives had ‘Deen Jost on both sides. The beaten party is re) Ml to have left a hundred and twenty dead on the field(!) ‘The object was to carry off the convicts and enlist them. railroad bridge at Medellin bas been lately inauga- rated, the firet iron bridge ever constructed in Mexico. ‘The government printing at the capital is now done at the House of a ee Fra children of a ped ey i tho art of typesetting.

ALLEGED ASSAULT AND ROBBERY. William Thousey, of 2634 Hamilton street, yesterday caused the arrest of Peter Matthews, the proprietor of a. porter house at No. 9 James slip, on the charge of as~ sanlt and robbery. Thousey stGtes that on Monday night at a late hour he called at the prisoner's house and asked for a room. He retired, a4, locking the door after him, went to rest, after placing three hundred dollars in money under his pillow. An hour or two later, it is alleged, the accused gained access to the room in some: manner unknown, ond commenced beating comp.uinant with his fists, He compelled Thousey to dress himself ‘and hastened him from the house, not allowing him time to secure the money which he had left in the bed, Since: that time the complainant has been unable to obtain the miss ng money, and on his complaint Justice Dowling committed Matthews to prison for trial, in default of one thousand dollars bail. ‘The accused is a native of Den- mark. DESCENT ON A DISORDERLY HOUSE—COUNTERFEIT MONEY SEIZED, Captain Jamieson, of the Seventh precinct, with a sec- tion of'men, on Tuesday night made a descent on the bar ‘and private supper rooms No, 1 Division street, kept by Thomas Clark and bis wife Frederica, Clark and his bet- ter balf are chargog with having kept a disorderly house, the resort of the vile and vicious of both sexes. Mr. and Mrs. Clark were arrested, aud also three or four other persons found in the place at the time the descent was made. Justice Shaudley committed all the prisoners for examination. On searching the house, Captain Jamieson and his men found five hundred dollars in coun’ fives on the Weybosset Bank of Providence, R. I., and also sixteen dollars in counterfeit fifty cent fractional currency, concealed in an old stove in the sub-cellar. Clark and his wife seemed to know nothing concerning this bogus money. RUFFIANLY ASSAULT AND ROBBERY IN AN OMNI- BUS—STEALING A TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLAR DIAMOND PIN. Yesterday morning about half-past twelve o’clock Mr. William Dayton, residing at 616 Sixth avenue, entered Fifth avenue stage in Broadway, near Twelfth street, soon after which two young men, giving their names as Patrick Oates and Bartholomew Griffin, who were in the stage, commenced an assault ‘on him without the least provocation, The assailants forced Mr. Dayton down on the seat of the omnibus, when a terrible struggle ensued between the parties, Griffin seized Mr. Dayton by the throat and held him fast for some minutes. As s00n as blo Psy sl Lookers kg pon Raby og Poo 4 rennan, e Fifteenth precinct, responded to and succeeded in arresting both Oates and Griffin.
