Another arrival from the Haytien ropublie gives some additional details in regard to the rebellion there sgainst the government of Prosident Jeffrard. Thoy report the quelling of the insurrectlonary movemonts in two of the principal towns, and claim that the government had a frm grip on Cape Haytien, the stronghold of the revolutionists, both by sea and land. But these advicea are only to the 19th of August, and are therefore apparently of little weight, as in last Thuraday’s issue we gave news to the 22d ult., re- porting the virtual abandonmont of the blockade of Cape Haytien by the government forces, and our Jamaica corres- pondeuce in the Haran of the following day announced the sailing of a steamer from Kingston for a Haytien port with the object of securing the escape of President Gef- frard, in cave of revolutionary suecesses rendering his flight noceseary. Late papers from Cape Haytien give detatis of tho capture of Fort St. Michel by the rebels. ‘This achievement, which occurred on August 12, appears to have rendered the abandonment of the siege of Cape Haytion necessary. The details which we give of the assault of Fort St. Michel are highly interesting. By the arrival of the steamer Idaho we have interest> fog advices from our correspondents at Savannah and Hilton Head to Augast 31. The Georgia Central Rail road had been repaired for a distance of forty-five miles ont from Savannyh, and as consequence trade had be. come vory brisk, particularly in cottou. Large quantities were stored in the city, on the wharves and about the prosses, and everything looked encouraging for a thorough revival of the important traffic ag evon as the railroads should be thoroughly restored, Accesstons bad been made to the line of steamers from Savannah to Augusta, anét new lines between New York and Savan nah wero being established. At Hilton Head the com. mercial prosperity was not so great. The place was los- fing its importance as a depot, and consequently mach of tue trade and traitic had been diverted elsewhere. Efforts were being mede to organize a company to butld @ railroad from Hilton Head to Augnsta Georgia, and thus give the former place the pretensions of » rival to Charleston. Phere was vory little exciting ia political topics, The coming State convention was croating but little excitement. The people were putting forward as candidates for the convention the old meu of sterling merit and integrity, and rejecting the old poti ticians and their counsel. The packet ship Margaret Evans, of the London and New York line, was run into yesterday, while in dock in East river, by a large steawer, sapposed to be the Bridge- port, and a large hole waa knocked in ber #ido jet abaft the portebains.

It all rests with themselves and upon their own course in treating the ques- tions of the hour. If they go to dragging out and resolving over dead issues, loading thom- selves down with the party rubbish of the past, and nominating men who were responsiblo for committing the party to the foilies which brought about its defeat during the war, ruin will as surely follow as night follows day. We have now commenced a new political era, and it is essential to the success of any | UP ‘he gh party that ite managers should at the outset comprehend and act upon this fact. The ques- tious which divided the political parties, and the isaues which made up their platforms before the rebellion, have all been settled by the war. They all belong to the distant past, have been | V°" paried with the political and party rubbish of | Weed. the country, and belong to history instead of the living and throbbing present. The severe struggle which we have gone last four years has settled all these questions, and this settlement has been sealed with the blood of tens of thousands of brave men on the field of battle. The issues which formed the party platforms during the progress of the war have also been obliterated by its successful termination, and we now find ourselves as a na- tion commencing anew. A leaf has been turned over in the national ledger, and we have com- menced a new account. Ae far as the party action in this State is concerned, the page is ae yet a blank, and the democratic party will to-morrow make the first entry. This grand settlement and general balance of accounts has placed the two parties on equal footing, and they are called upon to forget the past, and deal only with the present and the future. If the democracy de- sire to become mastera of the political situa- tion in thie State, and eventually in the nation, they must base their action upon these facts, and | of fact, however, shun all petty faultfinding, either in reference fo the conduct of the war, bounties or other small affairs which the narrow politicians of | They are New Jersey and Ohio seem to be worrying themselves about. They must leave the ques- tion of who is responsible for the rebellion to the work of future ‘historiens, and discuss and in- corporate in their platform only those subjects which form the isenés of the hour. There must not be any “reasserting of the cardinal princi- ples of the party,” which may mean anything, trom the disgraceful deeds at Charleston down through the secession heresies of some of the leaders, to the announcement at Chicago that mond {a the the war hed been failare. All those must be left with the bygones, The dead must he to bury the dead. It is also easential that all the politicians of the Seymour stripe, who were-Instrimental in | Pre#* introducing the heresies whic! brought about defeat during the war, sbali be given a back seat. and gew , brought forward for the emergency. They Sut ke bold ground for the speedy restoration of the Soithors and the settlement of the perple: arising out of the present condition of the country, in a manner that will the earliest se- cure permanent peace and prosperity to the whole country. To accomplish this they will find the practical reorganization polloy of the President the wigest and safest means. In its em- phatic endorsemént, and in pledging the party and its adbereats to the cordial support of the restoratign policy inaugurated by President Jobnson, they will find the surest road to syc- ceas. Aside from this, the successful istue of the war bas made us as 6 uation a great and leading Power among the nations of the world. This fact necessitates the treatment of inter- national questions in a higher toye and broader form than hegetofore. The democracy have it in their power to give to this feature of our ational affairs, and #@ guide public opinion that it will put an ead to the raign of monarobs on our borders and all monarchical influence on this continent, not hy war, but by moral force, The managers of 4his Albany convention must bear.in mind that they will be olosely watched by the republi- cans, and that any false step on their part will be taken advantage of by that party. But their road to success is plain and easy, if they com- prebend their duties and act wisely. Let us wait the developments of the convention, and nee whether they are wedded to the follies of the past, or have grown wiser by their former disaster and the severe lessons of the four years of war. te Newspaper Cuotmea—There is certainly no occasion whatever for any alarm in reference to cholera on this side the Atlantic.

Tax Fenn Movewent mm Inetanp—Our latest accounts from Treland are of a very inter- eating nature.

What the 7imes supposed to be a Miles O'Reilly fiefion it finds to be a~great movement by earnest men for an honest purpore—for the liberation of Ireland from the tyranny of the Britieh crown, It finds that the Fenians are making extensive preparations both here and in tro- land.

The case against Greeley as presented by Weed may be thus summed up. It was not General McDowell or General Patterson who loat the battle of the first Bull run, but it was General Greeley. Moreover, Greeley has been a seces- aionist all the way through, ready for peace on any terms, all the time—hobnobbiog with Colorado Jewett, George Sanders, Jake Thomp- son and old Blair, and bullying President Lin- coln and Secretary Stanton worae than Jeff. Davis, To crown his deeds of darkness, when slavery was fairly on the hip and about to give ost, Greeley urged upon President Lincoln the expediency of buying off the mas- ters with a bribe of four hundred millions of @ollara, and all for what? All these extraor- dinary freaks of Greeley had for their main object the killing off of one faithful publio ser- , the innocent and persecuted Thurlow On the other hand, according to Greeley, Weed is a political thimble rigger of the first ‘a treacherous friend, and a double deal- ing political huckster. He was o renegade on the emancipation proclamation, a traitor in the election of Governor Seymour in 1862; he has been the fountain head of all the lobby corrup- tions at Albany for a quarter of a century, is still, and will be until we can get a new State constitution expressly framed to choke him off. Furthermore, Weed has contrived so to fix the day of the New York Democratic State Conven- tion of this year and the Republican Convention, as to repeat the trick of Seymour's election, if not looked after by honest men. Such is Weed as painted by Greeley, and such is Grecley as painted by Weed. To draw a fair conclusion from the testimony thus sub- mitted on both sides, we should pronounce Greeley a fool and Weed a knave—Greeley jackass, who gets more kicks than coppers, and Weed a sly fox, who never leaves the barnyard without a fat goose, duck or chicken. In point all this fuss and fury between Weed and Greeley about the first Bull run and Seymour’s election is ail stuff and nonsense. simply throwing dust into each other’s eyes and into the eyes of the public, while they are actively plotting and counterplotting for Secretary Seward’s old boots. Weed wants to work in his little man Raymond, beginning with the United States Senate, and Greeley wants to head him af, as Botts headed off Captain Tyler. sfiim ag” This ts the renl fight between Weed and Greeley, and we do not care much how it ends. But why ogn’t we have a compromise? Reay- ao Senate would cut quite respect- able figure, and Greeley in the Navy Depart- left | ment would doubtless be an improvement upon old Mr. Welles, and preferable to Forney and bis family of lobby retainers. The newspaper hag clains upon parties and administra- tions which cannot be overlooked; but Thurlow Weed, we fear, in asking for all, is asking too auch.

Thorne, the veteran theatrical manager, whose recent arrival home after an exiended profes- sional tour through Oriental tands we have already announced, is preparing 2 book of his adventures in the Flowery Kingdom end else- where. This will be a rare work. Mr. Thorne is an observing and {intelligent gentleman, and his views of the customs, habits, amusements, and social, moral and political condition of the Fastern people will undoubtedly excite a lively interest, not only among the American people, but-in European and Asiatic communities. His experience of -forty years ag a theatrical man- ager will, when related, be: vastly interesting and entertaining; and, united with his adven- tures. all over the world, suffased as they will bo at one time by the perfame of Arabia, the spice of India, the sparkle of the diamond mines of Brazil, the glitter of the golden realm of Call- fornia, the perils of the plains and the attractive beauties of home life, and incidental anecdotes connected with his profession, will constitute a work abounding with freshness, strength, beauty, novelty and originality. Let us have the book, Mr. Thorne. Battoommna i THB Parg.—One of the most agrecable amusements in the Park is Professor Lowe’s balloon ascensions. A person can go up one or two thousand feet, and obtain a magnificient psnoramic view of New York and fifty miles of adjacent territory. It is one of the most splendid sights ever witnessed. But your charges are too high, Mr. Lowe. Come down to a dollar a trip, and you will be over whelmed with patronage. Tar Wero-Grester-Rarmonn Fiont.—The so-called Weed-Greeley fight is really one in which the two main disputants are Henry J. Raymond, of the Times, and Horace Greeley, of the Tribune. As to Weed, he likes neither of his combatants, and ie “tickled half to death” to see each play the other gut. When they have got protty well through, and neither has any political strength left after their wrang- liags, Lord Thurlow hopes to Introduce hie own man, Win. M. Evaris, as the compromise nominee tor the United States senatorship; and Kvarts will bear away the prize for which these | two fools are fighting. “Though you bray a fool in a mortar, yet will he not learn wisdom,” Was this saying of the good book ever more cqupletely Ulysigated yan ta the quarged which now occupies do large a apace of the public atteation ?

Tanearenep [ursacament oF Prestpeyr Jounson.—The Anti-Mavery Standard, of this city, which representa the views of the abolition radicals on the nogro suffrage question, threat- ens the impeachment of President Jobn- son. Now, as itis known that the Standard, like Wendell Phillips, exactly of the same school, is ag apt to blurt out all it knows as It is to know the designs of its party, we daresay that this aforesaid threat amounts tosomething -more than empty declaration. In all probabil- ity it covers « wide conspiracy and a deliberate design, under the idea that there will be a suffi- cient radical majority in the new House of Rep- resentatives to make out a bill of impeachment against President Jolinson, and the majority of two-thirds required in the Senate to impeach him and eject him from the White House. But, supposing that all this ls done, what will these abolition radicals gain by the achieve- ment? Mr. Foster, of Connecticut, an abolition radical if you please, as President pro tem. of the Senate becomes by 8 law of Congress, in conformity with the Constitution, President pro tem. of the United States. He will hold this position until the Secretary of State car make the necessary arrangements for the election of a President by the people in the regular way. For this election the friends of Andrew Jobn- gon would unquestionably proclaim him their candidate, and, under the popular conviction of an upjust impeachment, he would be re-elected to the head of affairs by an overwhelming ma- jority of the popular and the electoral vole of the States participating in the election. * We believe, however, that if the radical ne- gro suffrage malignants try this experiment ofan impeachment, it will be squelehed in the House and in a very summary manner; for no man, however malignant as a factionist he may be, can shut his eyes to the fact that Andrew John- gon in his policy of Southern reatoration is giv- ing great satisfaction to the masses of the peo- ple, regardless of’ parties, North and South. Accordingly, we have only to say to the aboli- tion malcontents threatening this impeachment of President Johnson that we do not believe they will be sufficiently foolhardy to try the ex- periment, Let them try it, if they dare. .

INHUMAN TREATMENT OF OUR SOLDIERS BY AN OF- FICER OF THR ARMY. It is stated to-day upon good authority that charges and specifications are being prepared upon which to bring to trial a captain in the army who has been on duty for soveral months in the city of Alexandria. it is gea- erally understood that the accused will be held to answer for grossly inhuman treatment‘of private soldicrs, and also for resorting to manifold devices for improssing men into the service as deserters, and collecting the bounty therefor of thirty or forty dollars paid by the government for restoring deserters. The government does not intend to confine its prosecutions for abuse of soldiers to men of the rebellious forces alone, but wilt hold to equal accountability the federal officers who may have been actuated by avarice or passion. The case wilt probably be brought to trial this week before the Military Commission now sitting at-the Old Capitol, of whick Major Slipper is Judge Advocate, THE ERERNMEN'S BUREAU. _.
