The Theoretical and Assembly at lemet ffarentie r e 5 Ynaulte the Northern Vvernore=The matic Corts anu nverye 'y Disgusted the Ceremonies. ‘ z Wasnmeros, Sept. 18, 1867. ‘The dedication of the National Cemetery at Antietam took place yesterday, The invitations were issued from Baltimore and a limited number were distribated to the ‘most distinguished persons at the Capital, including the President and his Cabinet and the Diplomatic Corps. The special train from Washington started at half-past six A, M,, reached the Relay House @ oight o'clock, and met the traim from Baltimore, which contained those who had been invited from that city, After a considerable detention a large train waa made up and proceeded onward. Keedysville ‘was reached at twelve o'clock, where there was a large crowd awaiting our arrival. The party—perhaps two hundred in number—left the cars; but just at this moment a beavy shower came up, The carriages pro- vided for the occasion were all crowded together, and there seemed to be no commander, no general director or manager, Some little time elapsed before order could be brought out of chaos, and then it was found that the carriages had all been filled by the crowd ‘Without reference to cards of invitation. It was found mecossary to turm out some of the occupants to make room forthe Diplomatic Corps, who had in the mean- time, in common with the rest, become thoroughly drenched. It was arranged on the programme which was very prettily gotten up, that everything was to be carried out in g order; but the | tl theoretical programme was one thing, the practical on another, Every one appeared to think that his exist- ence depended on his reaching the cemetery in the shortest possible time, So badiy arranged had Cn & ‘thing been that [ noticed six invited guests in one hack, ene of them a foreign minister to tho United States. ‘We reached the cemetery at two o'clock P, M. Here re had been erected a staging with sufficient seats to ‘eccommodate two hundred people. The rain had ceased and the hot sun broke out, sending up from the ground a vapor which gave every one a steam bath. The seais ‘wore covered with wet white cloth, and the cloth well pasted with yellow mud, The design was evidently to Steam and bake all who had dared to accept a card ot invitation. The sum poured into the three sides of the hollow square, and the speaker was the only person whose head was covered. He only had an American bs; Sad bim, propped up by four sticks, @ people had come from far and near to witness what should have been an imposing ceremony over the heroes who, nearly five thousand tn number, now he agree gr bulwark of their country on the loftiest int of the Antietam battle ground. It was at Antictam it the foundations of our nationality trembled as each battery opened its fro, and as each brigade charged e on the rebel left, and, in the woods near Dupker urch, lett its long line of dead. It was bere that tho rebols felt that tho fate of the confederacy rested in their bayonets, and it was here that thojtwo armier, fecling the pie named? which rested upon them, four times Jost and rewon the field. Here it was on consecrated ground that five thousand people had assembled to wit- Bess the ceremonies over their dead defenders; and Fa ties Was that these ceremonies were made naught it @ mockery. After a short introductory address by Governor Swann, ‘the Rev. Hiram Matison, of Now Jersey, followed in a iene loquent prayer, with language more appropriate to the occasion than any there utrered. I make the following extract: — We give thee thanks, O God, that thon hast hushed the yor © of war in this land, and’ hast given us peace through- gut -l) our borders, | May 1t be continued to us and our chit. dren to the end of time. nd now, O Lord, we appear to and hallow this enclosure, fu the midst of which we stand, as a national mausoleum where the dust of onr jierofo dead may sleep in undisturbed Tepose till time shall be no more. Look Th im mercy and compassion, as we stund amidst tM! congrega- tion of the dead, by devout prayer and solemn services, to Fender this spot forever sacred as the final resting place of je dead. And as this enclosure is already consecrated b; © patriotic dust that slumbers here, and by the tears an feotions of a bereft uation, so let this hallowed spot be for- $05 tacred, even in Thine eyes of induite purity and love. thing angels wateh over it through all comin; asands over all ions, and as in the to come the hearts o! his land will ever turn toward this spot with holy tenderness and love, do Thou make it tual bond of amity concord between the whose noble dead sleep in silent ranks along there radiating aisles. Especially do we pray this day for all those whose loved ones slumber here—parents, brothers, gistors, wives obildren and lovers. Thou, O God, their lend and hélper. And though far diatant from this seene, amid tho hills of the Kast, or the prairies of the West, when they shall read of this solemn service, may their sadness ind reltet in the thought that their dead fll honored graves 4a the soll which their devotion and blood have forever con- ‘secrated to freedom. And may those even whos dead are ‘unrecognized be comforted by the hope that their lost ones may be here, though among “the unknown,” in this beau- tifal home of the dead. PS tate this prayer, was a hymn sung to the tune of Hundred by all present. ‘Ihen came tho Masonic goremonies of laying the corner stone of the monument, This took place at a little distance from the speaker’s and was witn: by the President and Mr. .

The poem finished, Mr. Johnson stepped immodiately upon the stand, When he spoke of the “brave mon on both sides who fell in the fierce struggle of battle’ there was a low deep murmur ran through the crowd. His speegh closed by a strongly accented oxclamation:—‘‘You shall have my last efforts in vindl- of the republic and of the constitution at se cation of tho ft our fathers,” Searcely bad Mr. Johnson stepped aside when a beno- diction was ge ip a flash, while the crowd were again shouting for Governor Geary.

Mr. Joseph D. Evans, Prestdent of the Board, occupied the chair, and Mr. C, E. Butler acted as Secretary. After the reading and ap- proval of the minutes of the informal mocting held last week, Mr, Ayres, from the committee ‘appointed at that meeting reported that they had conferred with Collector Shook and were informed by him that the new regula- tions would go into effect at an early day; that they had théreupon written to Secretary McCulloch asking thet all action in this regard should be suspended until the tobacco merchants of the various cities whose trade was injuriously effected might be heard from; that the Boards of Trade im Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore had been writte n to, and their conjoint action in the premises solicited, and that delegations of tobacco merchants from tbe first two cities were then present at the meeting. Mr. Ayersalso stated that the Secretary of the Treasury had deputed one of his revenue officers to call on the committee and inform them that a bear- ing would be given to any objections they had to make tothe new regulations, The Committee had been in- formed by Collector Shook that he disclaimed any knowl of fraud upon the government perpetrated in his district by the dealers in manufactured tobacco, and that be would gid the inerchants, so far as was con- sistent with his official dutios, in their endeavor to further tho interests of the trade, The committee also presented a resolution anes by the Baltimore Board of Trade, recommending that the bonding of manufac- tured tobacco be disconnected ontirely from that of other goods, and that, for that purpose, the Department be memorialized tovestablish a new class of warehouses, to be known as ‘Class C."? Tho Committee asked leave to submit the following resolution: — Resolved, That a committee of the dealers in mannfac- tured tobacco in New York be appointed, to act in conjunc. tion with lke committees from Boston, Baltimore and ‘and proceed to Washington, ‘as goon as practi- cable, to lay before the Secretary of the’ Treasury a state. ment of the grievances the trade now labor under by the new regulations of the Internal Revenue Department. The regolution was adopted and the following com- mittee appointed, the Presideht having been, by & subsequent motion, elected Chairman of the commit- toe:—Messra, E. W. Ayres, P. Lorillard, W. P. Kittredge and J, S, Hawkins, The Secretary then read a statement of the objections to the now regulations presented by the committee. of which Mr, Ayres was, at the last meeting, appointed Chairman. These objections are in substance :— ‘That the penal bond demanded by the Department is unnecessarily la in amoant; that, inasmuch as the warehousing bond is double the amount of tax, a penal bond of $10,000 or $20,000 should be sufficient, That under the new regulations, if the Collector is satisfied that two or three warehouses anywhere in his district have sufficient capacity to store the tobacco likely to be bonded, he has no power [es the necessity for oxhers in closer proximity to the business mart be ever £0 pressing or desirable) to authorize their estab- lishment. of entire buildings and “the num- possible of largost capacity,’’ is Injurious to the trade; inasmuch as, in many cases, mer- chants have bonded certain portions of their premises only, and leased the remaining portions to other traders; thereby, if compelled to comply with the Tegulations, being at the loss of heavy rentals as to such property as 1s now used for warehouse purposes. And that, under the m proposed, no regard is to be paid ‘to the distances of the warehouses from each other, or from the centre of business. That the tax is now so large, that many grocers and others have bonded single lofts for the warehousing of goods, from which they can withdraw them as occasion juires, ‘hat under the regulation fixing the maximum weight of samples at half a pound, sales cannot be effected. The long established rule of the Board of Trade is, that five boxes of each brand be allowed for sample purposes; and that owners shouid be allowed to sample as much as is for the interest of the trade. That the Collector should not be allowed to retain the bills of lading, but that the owners should have them, as well as the receipts of draymen. ‘That the regulation as to transportation is unjust and oppressive, for the reason that the exact route goods may take in shipment cannot be always stated. ‘he objections of the committee close as follows:—The new regulations call for a largo increase in the number of forms, such as notification to Collector, his sppoint- ment of inspector for each entry, transfer officers, &c., which, while they would consume time that is valuable is impracticable, and would be often impossible to ob- tain, Other objections to these regulations might be ad- ded; but in a district where, by the acknowledgment of revenue officers no frauds he mye snaert sans I aoe been Perpetrated wy government, we consider the foregoin; sufficient to claim the attention of the Treasury Depart: ment and prove the disastrous effect such regulations Mmust have upon business, Mr. CaRRoLL moved that«he statement of objections presented by the Committee be im memorial form and ‘ag the sense ofthe The motion towel a oint inter to of the Treasu: e asking that the Committee be allowed resent to hice the memorial of this Board on Saturday next, or at as early a day thereafter as practicable. A memorial from the Baltimore Board of Trade, taking in effect the same grounds inst the new regulations as those above stated, aud also the proceedings of a meeting of tobacco merchants in Philadelphia, were read, when, after tendering thanks to the merchants present from otner cities, the meeting adjourned.

Gatvestow, Sept. 9, 1867. The yellow fever, which has beon raging here since July 1, 1867 (viz:—to 24th July sporadically and epidemi- cally), is decimating our city, Its victims are mostly the unacclimated, the intemperate and the abandoned. The city resembles one vast hospital, The number of deaths to date since commencement (24th July) reaches nine hundred, mostly Northern and Western people, foreigners, and officers and omployés, civil! and military, of the United States, bookkecpers and clerks, brought here to dio by the hundred from the largor Northern, Western and rn cities; members of Northern, West- ern and foreign firms and business houses, one-third of whom, some with large stocks of goods, are now closed on account of employers aud employés having been sum- moned by “Yellow Jack” to their long and narrow houses im the graveyard. The Jews have suffered most in Peotone to their number, many of them succumb- ing to their noted di of death after taking the disease, This month, on account of its sudden weather changes and equinoctial storms, will prove tho most fatal, from the end of which it will begin to abate until the first black frost in November or Decomber kilis the miasma and rids us of our fearful visitor. Tho type of disease is very malignant, Several of our- best physicians, among them Drs. Rowe, Taylor, &c., of the United States Army; Drs, Hanna and Gantt, of the Galveston Medicul College faculty, foll victims and are in their graves, Others of the profession are now dewn With it. The streets are nearly deserted; business ts at astand; the city wears the aspect of a continuous Sab- bath; gloom has settled upon the countenauces of many ‘ou meet; the churches are deserted; the firing of the Inited States army and navy signal guns, the ringing of all bells and other noises have been stopped authori- tatively during the epidemic, not to disturp the fever- sick, whom we count by thousands and in every house, Nurses and physicians are worn out and scarce.

New Orteays, Sept, 10, 1867, We have the yellow fevoramong us. As yot it is of mild type; a few days since it was proclaimed epi- demic; since then it has increased rapidly, uctil the niortality is over fifty daily. Those capable of judging estimate the number of cases in the city at more than we evor had during the fearful epidemic of 1853, yet its mild form makes our mortuary list, so far, compara- tively low, But with the great mass of unacclimated material in our midst we are threatened in the next six days with a fearful scourge. Good nursing is the only thing that successfully combats the disease, and, with our city full of strangers, both Northeruers and for- cigners, they have only the good Samaritans to look to in cases of sickness, Tho Howard Association devote their whole time to nursing the unfriended, and in giving Christian burial to the stranger, This association depends on those so dis- posed tor means to carry out their mission, They have commonced without a cent, and although the New Orleans merchants have donated liberally the magnitude of their fleid of labor must soon exhaust their resources hore; and unless assistance comes from abroad we may have “the dead to bury the dead - Tho residents of New Orleans aro not the ones whd need this help, It 1s the largo Northern population re- cently settled here, and strangers who have drifted within our midst, These have only the Howard Associ- ation and sister charitable organizations to look to, and they do what none others can do so well—the experi- enced nursing night and day so essential in this fever. It is to be hoped that early and prompt action will bo taken by the charitabiy disposed to strengthen the hands ofthe Howards aud other friendly associations here- with tho monoy that is requisite for medicines, ice and other necessaries for the sick, They make no discrim, ination in giving their succor, Let our friends in the North do likewise in this terrible emergency, Yellow Fever in New Orleans.
