Mau Service Along the Missis- sippi River. ‘Applications from Old Pensioners of the Southern States for Renewal of Their Pensions, . ‘PReception of the Atlantic Base Ball Club by the President. & + &. &. ‘Wasanaton, August 30, 1865, THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNORS. ‘In view of fact# which have already been elicited, a fetatomont has been circulated that the Southern Pro- jwisional Governors have favored original secessionists in ‘appointments to office and in recommendation for posi- jtions, thus entirely ignoring the claims of Union men. ‘So far from this being true, it is ascertained that the Pro- +visional Governors are now acting according to the policy “indicated by the Executive authority, and are therefore ‘pursuing such a course as will best comport with the loyal sentiment of the country. Original Union men will not Tho ignored or overlooked as agents in the great work of @acification, and whatever errors may have been commit- sted in this respect will doubtless soon be remedied, RECONSTRUCTION IN ALABAMA, 4 gentleman recently occupying a prominent position, fwho arrived hero to-day from Alabama, says that pro- rvost marshals have been appointed in every county of ‘the State to administer the oath of amnesty; that the pone everywhere, with comparatively few exceptions, <pross much anxiety to take it; that the election will ‘doubtless pass off quietly and with satisfaction to the Aoyal people; and that the best possible feeling exists Motween Governor Parsons and the military authorities. THe mentions as an observable fact that the men who ‘were recently in arms are now most in favor of the gov- sernment, while some of those who were too cowardly to ako part in (war aro still the most blatant against it. MONTHLY MAIL SERVICE WITH BRAZIL. In accordance with the law of Congress and the adver- itisomont from the Post Office Department, a contract was igned to-day betweon the United States, by Postmaster ‘General Dennison, and the United States and Brasil Mail Steamship Company, through its president, J, F. Na- warro, to carry the mails between the two countries for ‘the noxt ten years, by a monthly line of first class steam- yers, the subsidy from this government being ono hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars. The Brazilian governmont having already granted this company a similar contract ‘he total subsidy will be three hundred thousand dollars Per annum, bosides complete immunity from all port charges and custom house dues by botb countries. The saverago speed is to be not léss than two hundred miles er day. The departures from New York will be every ‘B9h and from Rio Janeiro every 2d of each month. The establishment of this so much necded line has been in -sontemplation for the last fourteen years; but the con- Micting interests of the different parties seeking the con- fract, as also the unwillingness of this government to . «tant subsidies to any one, have precluded its going into operation long before. However, every difficulty has been -evercome now; and, with such liberal subsidy and the \patronage from both governments, it is expected the Mine will be highly successful. It will put us in regular communication with all the Portuguese and Spanish countries bordering on the northern and eastern coast of South America. + ‘This is the only company now subsidized by this gov- vernment, although the contract for the China mails already awarded to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company ‘will be signed in a few days. The agency, very properly, ‘will be in the hands of a house uniting among its mem- ors the American and Portugues) element. RESUMPTION OF MAIL SERVICE IN THE SOUTH. ‘The Postmaster General has entored into a contract ‘with tho Atlantic and Mississippi Steam#hip Company, John J. Roe, President, to convey the mails in suitable . and gafe steamboats on the Mississippi river from Cairo, TIL, to New Orleans, La, and back every other day, three anda balf times a week, making the following ‘andings, viz:—Cairo, Columbus, Hickman, New Madrid, Memphis, liclena, mouth of White river, Napoleon, Gran- ‘ville, Skipwith’s Lake, Providence, Vicksburg, Grand ‘Gulf, Roday, Natches, mouth of Red river, Bayou ‘Sara, Baton Rouge, Plaquemine and New Orleans, and ‘ten other landings on the river to be designated from ‘time to timo, with substitutions therefor for the Post ‘Office Dopartmont from the Ist of Soptember, 1865, to June 30, 1869, route agents to be employed and provided for on each steamboat without expense to the Depart- ment, The sum to be paid for the above service is $27,300 per annum, ‘The Postmaster Genoral has also accepted the offer of ‘tho Wilmington and Woldon Railroad Company for the conveyance of the mails between Weldon and Wilming- ton and tho intormediate places. THE OLD SOUTHERN PENSIONERS. Letters and applications continue to multiply at the ‘Pension Bureau from people in the South, whose pen- sions were interrupted by the outbreak of the rebellion, ‘These aro anxious to know what must be done to secure © resumption of their, pensions, and are impationt to Prove the stoutest loyalty to the national government. ‘To obviate the necessity of extended and contiaual cor. fexpondence upon this subject, the Pension Commis- sioner issued in June a circular to the above class of pen- ‘sionera, with a form of application for restoration to the @ension rolls attached. This form prescribes the taking -of the oath of the amnesty proclamation, and also calls for an ailidavit ostablishing the identity of the per- @on as a pensioner before the war, together with an affirmation that the applicant has not borne arms against ‘the government, or in any manner encouraged the rebels, &c. These applications bear evidence of the strait to which the South was reduced even in the small- est of nocossarios of life, in the peculiar and coarse description of paper upon which they are set forth and ‘tho dingy envelopes which accompany the enclosures. TUE DRATH OF GOVERNOR BrovGn. Ex-Governor Dennizon and other prominent citizens Of Obie met at the rooms of the Ohio State Agency this ‘evoning, to manifest their respect for the memory of the Aate Govornor Brough. A number of specchos were made in oulogy of the distinguished deccased. A serics -of resolutions wore adopted which expressed the pro- found sorrow with which the intelligence of the death of * Governor Brough was received, and enumerated the ‘uMerous positions of trust which he had from time to etimo occupied in the service of Ohio, and of his success- ful ondeavors to aid the government during the rebel- Mon by untiring energy in raising troops aud infusing ‘the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice among the people of the State. The usual expressions of condolence were tondored tho family of the Governor. The meeting was Margoly atiended and earnestly taken part in by the - Obioaas now sojourning in Washington. INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS. Tho actual receipts at the Internal Revenue Bureau to-day were greatly diminished by the non-arrivat of the foturns from the Kast, due upon the noon train, which mot with an accident at Philadelphia. They are given at $610,012. During the month of July and up to the pre- epont date of the month the aggregate receipts amount to $63,049,874 THE INDIAN COMMISSION. A later despatch was received to-day from Commis. * sloner Cooley, of the Indian Bureau, dated at Fort Scott, in which he says on account of the roads of that sec- _ ton being 80 bad the delegation now upon their mission sto meet the Southwestern Indian tribes at Fort Smith will not be nubled to rendezvous at that point before the 6th -of Beptember.

It is not at all necessary to restore either gol- diors or officers to the service to enable those dependent upon them for support to draw pensions commensurate with their rank after their decease, whether in or out of the army, where death is proven to have been induced by wounds or disease contracted in the service. THE BROTHER JONATHAN DISASTER. Major E. W. Eddy, Paymaster, United States Army, who, together with his clerk, was lost on board the ill-fated steamer Brother Jonathan, off the California coast, was at the time on his way to Oregon and Washing- ton Territory to pay off the troops stationed there. He had in his possession two hundred thousand dollars belong- ing to the government. ™ © PERSONAL. Major General Rousseau leaves for New York this even- ing, en roufe to his home in Kentucky.

Hawley, Chief of Staff to General Terry, at Richmond, Va., whose name appeared in the list of general officers recently published as being mustered out, has been retained in the service. General Hawley entered the three months service as captain, was afterwaras commissioned colonel of a Connecticut regiment, subsequently being promoted to brigadier general, and has at all times been conspicuous for faith- ful and gallant service. The name of Brevet Major Gonoral John F. Miller, of Indiana, was erroncously placed by the War Departinent in the list of general officers recently mustered out of service, General Miller was fora long time on duty in Nashville, while Andrew Johnson was military Governor of Tennessee, and recently commanded the District of Mobile. DARKNESS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. By some oversight or accident the gas was shut off from the White House this evening, and the whole estab- lishment was consigned to darkness. The Commissioner of Public Buildings was notified, it seems, that the gas would be turned off to make some repairs; but the fact was probably forgotten. Tin candlesticks’ and tallow candles in the Executive mansion smell strongly of the primitive days of the republic. VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT’S FAMILY TO THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Tho Presidential family and guests at the White House spont several hours pleasantly to-day in visiting the Patent Office and Smithsonian Institute. THE ROLL OF HONOR. An additional or supplementary roll of honor is to be published by the War Department, embracing the dead of Andersonville gnd the names of such negro soldiers as have died near Washington. THE BOUNTY OF DISCHARGED HOSPITAL STEWARDS. The Second Comptroller of the Treasury to-day decides that discharged hospital stewards of the United States army who go out of service before the expiration of the period for which they enlisted, are not entitled to accrued instalments of bounty, as in the case of the volunteers, for the reason that Genoral Order No. 190 does not make such provision as to regulars as is socured to volunteers by General Order No. 191. - EXTENSIVE WAGON TRAIN EN ROUTE TO KANSAS. Five hundred wagons, to each of which were attached six mules, left this city this morning bound for Leaven- worth, Kansas, It is understood that the journey will occupy the space of several months. RECEPTION OF THE ATLANTIC BASE BALL CLUB BY THE PRESIDENT. The reception committee of the National Base Ball Club accompanied the Atlantics to the White House this morning and obtained an interview for them with tho President, although a‘host of people wero alroady await- ing an audience. The members wore severally intro- duced to the President and expressed their rogrots that he was not present to give the game a national importance. Tho President replied that nothing but urgent business prevented his witnessing tho match, and prom'sed, if possible, to visit the playground in September, when the Excelsiors visit the capital. Thanking tho Atlantics for the compliment of their call, he bowed his acknowledg- ments and retired. The Club was afterwards taken through tho different dopartments and most noted placos in the city, and took their departure for home at half-past six o'clock this evening, deeply gratified with their trip. REPORTS TO THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE. A report dated August 4 has been recoived at the General Land Office from the Rogtater and Receiver of Public Moneys at Little Rock, Arkansas, showing that the functions of the land system have been re-estab- lished.

Proceedings of the Constitu- tional Convention. ection for Representatives in Con- gress and State Officers. PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR. &e, &o. &. Our Vicksburg Correspondence. Vioxseura, Miss., August 18, 1865, Just at this time this place is not cool, nor is it merely warm, but it is absolutely ‘‘red hot.” For several days past the thermometer has been ranging from ninety-two to ninety-eight in the shade, just after sundown. Bore, as in other parts of the United States, we have an “oldest inhabitant,” and he says Vicksburg 1s experiencing warmer weather now than has been known to it for several years past. Of course, most people are prone to believe the last misfortune to be the greatest, ‘THE STATE CONVENTION OF MIGSISSIPPT, ‘The principal subject of conversation here, aside from cotton, is connected with the proceedings of the State Convention, now in session at Jackson. Until the per- manent organization of the Convention, Hon, Wm. L. Sharkey, Provisional Governor of the State, acted as President pro tem. Hon. J. 8. Jerger, who was elected to the responsible position of President of the Convention, delivered a short address on assuming his office. He hoped, Ho said, this would be an era of restoration, peace and prosperity, and security to the generations to come after us, He trusted that the time would never again come when the freemen of this land will be compelled to bend to military rulo and despotic sway. Until Mississippi avails herself of the means of restoration now within her grasp, she and her people will be the most abject slaves. It was within the power of the delegates to inaugurate a day anda Policy that will cause future generations to bless them. He invoked them to cultivate a generous harmony and mtercourse, and expressed the belief that ere long the world would witness the spectacle of a republic united in purpose from the Atlantic to the Pacific—from the Gulf to the extromest States of the North. TAKING THE SBECIAL OATH. Subsequent to the election of a secretary, Mr. Simonton, of Itawamba, made a point of order that the oath to sup- port the constitution of the United States, as required in the proclamation of the Governor convening the Con- vention, had not been officially taken by the members. The point of order being sustained, the oath was adminis- tered by the President, All the members took the oath very willingly. AN IMPORTANT MILITARY ORDER. Heapquarrens, Darartuent oy Missrssirrt, ViexsnurG, Misa., August 4, 1865. The administration of the municipal affairs of many citios and towns of the States in rebellion having de- volved upon the United States military authorities, it has been customary, in order to mect tho expenses incident thereto, to impose taxes upon property and trade. + No reason now exists for the continuance of this ous- tom. The entire charge of municipal affairs should be left with the people; and the military authorities should not interfere, except in cases of absclute necoss'ty. Hereafter no taxos of any kind will be imposed by military authority upon citizens; and no fines will be levied except pursuant to a military commission, By order of Major General SLOCUM. J, Warren Mitzer, Assistant Adjutant General. THE GUERILLAS NOT GONE Yer. Tho steamer Keoto, while lying at Latham's Landing, on Sunflower river, was Inst Sunday morning boarded about sunrise by a party of guerillas, who robbed the officers and crow of the boat in regular cut throat style. Atter compeil'ng the officers of the boat to prepare breakfast for thom—which thoy eat right poartily of— they compelled some of the hands to row them across the river. They drew up in line, whilo on the opposite shore, and gave three cheers for the Keoto, They re- ested, that in the event of publication of the affair, facts would only be reprosented; and that a paper con- taining the same be left at Garvin's ferry, on the next trip. As thers was plenty of whiskey on the boat, thoy got on a genoral “bust” before leaving.

COTTON STEALING is highly prevalent in Vicksburg. The negroes who will not work are the thieves. Wholo bales are “bagged” by them.

It will arrive in New York September 1, whence it will proceed to Albany for final payment, The One Hundredth New York State Volunteers was raised in Erie county, New York, in January, 1862. Colonel James H. Brown, its first colonel, was killed at the battle of Fair Oaks, and was succeeded by Colonel George B. Dandy, acaptain inthe regulararmy. This officer has commanded the regiment or the brigade to which the regiment belongs since the 28th of August, 1862, The ranks of the regiment having become greatly depleted after Goneral MeClellan’s Peninsula campaign, were again filled in August, 1862, by tho efforts and con- tributions of the Board of Trade of Buffalo, New York, then presided over by the Hon. George S. Hazard of that city. Among the prominent bers of the war com- mittee of the board, besides the praes were John G. Deshler, A. G. Williams and 8S. Bennett, These gentlemen were very active in their endeavors to raise Tecrutts to fillour Union armies, and now that the re- bellion is subdued may with just pride congratulate themselves upon the part they have taken in tke accom- plishment of the result. In March, 1863, Colonel Dandy was sent with his regi. ment to take possession of Cole’s Island, at tho mouth of the Stono river, South Carolina, preparatory to the siege of Charleston. This was successfully accom- pistes, and the island held for twelve days, until re- Inforcements arrived. ‘The One Hundredth regimont participated in the cap- ture of Morris Island, tho assault of Fort Wagner and in the regular approaches afterwards made upon that work, resulting in its capture, Hero the regiment lost onc- half its number, and was again recruited from Buifalo in tho winter of 1863-64. In the spring and summer of 1864 it served with Gen- eral Butler's command at Bermuda Hundred, Drury’s Bluf! and Deep Bottom, taking part in all the engagements of that campaign. In October, 1864, it was again recrutted, and in March, 1865, under the command ot Major James H. Dandy, a brother of the Colonel, it antered upon the grand closing campaign of the war. At this time the One Hundredth regiment formed part of Danby's brigade, of Foster’s division of the ‘Twenty- fourth army corps, Army of the James—the Eleventh Maine, Tenth Connecticut, Twenty-fourth Massachusetts aud Two Hundred and Sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers being associated with it in the same brigade, In this last campaign the regiment fought at Hatcher's run for three days, participated in the assault on Fort Gregg, near Petersburg, and was engaged in the closing battle of the war at Appomattox Court House, the scene of General Lee's surrender, For special gallantry in the assault on Fort Grege, where the Major commanding was killed on the parapet of the work, tho colors of the regiment were prosented with a splendid eagle in bronze, bearing the following inseription:— “Prosented to the One Hundredth New York Volun- teers by Major General John Gibbon, command.ng ‘Twenty-fourth corps, for gallant conduct in the assault on Fort Gregg, Petersburg, Va., April 2, 1865.”” In July, 1865, the remnants of the One Hundred and Forty-eighth and One Hundred and Fifty-eighth New York Volunteers were consolidated with this regiment, bringing it again to the maximum standard of nine hun- dred and oighty enlisted men. At the date of its mustor out it had an avgregate of seven hundred and forty-five, ‘The following are the names of the officers, and an enumeration of the battles in which the regiment has tuken part:— Colonel and Brevot Brigadier General, George B.

A few evenings since an old laly walked off the ferry drop at the foot of South Seventh street, and but little was said about it until her dead body was found floating in the river, About th> time this lady lost her Io the same ferry at Grand street, on this side, was found to present a man trap for any one to fallinto. It was the last boat at midnight. She was fo ind to be hung with a single chain, and swinging a distance of some two foot from the drop. and no one to warn passen- gers of the dangers On the contrary, when a person whose business it was to see that the boat was prop- erly fastened was notified of the dangerous condition of things he brutally replied that “If any one fell into the river {t would learn him to swim." It waa the opinion of passengers that the attention of Mr. George Law should be cated to the manner in which some of his ferry arrangements are conducted. This misman: ment is not only the case with his, but with other ferry. There 1s too little, or rather no care at all taken of passengers, who, in crowds and in haste, aro left to scramble, jump oF do as they please as the boat reachos the slip, just as othors, rowdies, thieves, bozgars, itine- rant venders and other pests, are allowed to have the full run of the boats on the passage, When a su; - tion was lately made to an employe of a ferryboat, after a Indy, had been robbed on board, that the company should employ a detective at tho’ slip, the reply was, “Tell that to the company and they will laugh at you.” All tho ferry franchises require thorough overhaulii It will constitute an important duty of tho next isla: taro, PUBLIC 8AF) . Another Collision Chesapeake Bay. °. Battimone, August 30, 1865, Another collision has occurred in Chesapeake Bay, this timo between the propeller George Appold, Captain Howe, of tho Boston steamship line, and the steamer Kent, of the Individual Enterprise line, resulting in the sinking of the latter vossel in five fathoms water off Thomas Point, near Wost river. The Kent, under com- mand of Captain Wakes, has been employed during the summer season in running on Choptauk river, con- yoying fruit and passengers between this and Benton, Caroline county, She left here on oeday Bight, at ten o'clock, having a small numbor of passen- gore, and about two o'clock this morning met the steamer Geo. Appold, coming from Boston, off Thomas Point. Tho usual signals were exchanged, but, through some mismannge! the steamers collided, @ Kent having her bow crushed in, The A) any injury. The passengers and crew the Kont were enabled by means of her boate to safely reach the Appold, in which steamor they wore brought to this port, Death ofa i Fei m. .

REVOLUTION IN THE REPUBLIC, Deposition of Pimentel, the Head of the State. GEN. CABRAL APPOINTED “PROTECTOR” LIBERTY, EQUALITY AND FRATERNITY. THE PROTECTOR IN THE FIELD. ke. ae ke. The steamship Columbia, Captain Barton, from Havana on the 26th August, arrived at this port yesterday. We are indebted to the purser of the Columbia for the usual pregs facilities. By the arrival of the steamer Cuba at Havana on the 21st inst. we are in receipt of St. Domingo advices up to the 8th of August. The Diario, of Santiago de Cuba, of the 15th inst., gives the following particulars of a revolution that has just occurred in the sister island :— y ‘The capital and other towns of importance (in @ longthy document headed “Popular Manifestation,”? publishea in St. Domingo on the 4th) have pronounced against Gen, Pimentel, who, since January, has been carrying on what ho called the Reformist government with a high hand, and have declared in favor of General José Maria Cabral, naming him Protector of tho repub- lic; authorizing him to take immediate possession of the supreme command, and devise such measures for the preservation of the country and the public interosts as he may judge necessary until anew government can be established. General Pimentel, who, in January last, marched into Santiago at the head of his troops, making himself mas- ter of tho situation and proclaiming himsolf at the head of the government, is charged in the ‘Manifestation’? with acting since that time in complete defiance of all law and order; persecuting the members of the provisional government, loading citizens with chains, and threaten- ing them with death; setting asi the elections of delegates to the National Convent , ordering their ar- rest, and causing new members to be elected subservient to bribery; so far forgetting the laws of humanity and | civilization as to publicly offer a reward for the head of General Polanco, who, before him, was at the head of tho provisional’ government; favoring projects threat- ening the legitimate government of Hayti—thus en- deayoring to involve the government in comp with that republic, and not attending to the mi tion of justive or to the needs of the church. ‘These and many other charges proferred against Gene- ral Pimentel are given at length in the ‘ Manifestation,” and as the reasons for deposing him, and authorizin; Cabral to take the direction of affairs. General Cabral 8 accepted this offer, and issued a proclamation assign: the did so on account of the grave situation of untry, believing it to be his duty to sacrifice him- self on the altar of his country. His programme of government he asserts to be com- prised in these words, “Liberty, Equality and Frator- nity;’’ the people to exercise thelr sovereignty without compulsion and give themselves to security. ‘Thus he expecta to secure unity and peace to the country, and calls for the co-operation of all patriots. He has already appointed secretar'es, and other civil and miltary officers, for the differont branches of the government, and Sonrgenenty begun to put affairs in order. He has written a conciliatory letter to Pimentel, advising him to sacrifice his ambitious Pere not to oppose, but to submit to the authority of the people, be- come a good citizen, and aid in restoring peace and quiet to the country. Mansueta, General of Division of the national armics, has also issued a proclamation, calling upon every true Dominican ta sustain the Protector and ass'st in ostab- lishing the government upon a firm basis of liberty, equality and fraternity. ‘At last accounts, Cabral, at the head of a body of troops, had gone to put down the opposition raised against Lim in Cil AFFAIRS IN BRITISH HONDURAS, a Our Belize Correspondence.
