MONTGOMERY, August 1, 1858, In the Senate to-day the Militia bill was passed. Jt authorizes the Governor to organize the militia ‘when he sces proper. The Disability Removal bill was hotly discussed. Mr. Pennington and other republicans strongly urge the remova! of all disabilities. Tue native republi- cans generally favor it, but the Northern republicans opp ose it. In the House Mr. McCraw, the Speaker, brought apa bili removing disabilities from the people of Chambers county. This it is hoped will be the en- tering wedge for a general bill. The Common Carrier bill introduced by a negra from Mobile is-a bone of contention and is causing much hard feeling, The negroes are clamorous for its passage and the mover of the bill says if it does Mot pass it will cause a serious disturbance in Mo bile. The bil provides that whites and blacks sha'! “ride in (le same railroad cars and in the save steam- doat cabins. LOUISIANA. Yellow Vever Notin New Orieans=The New Judges of the Supreme Court.

Reverdy Johuson—Sadden Indisposition of Mrs. Lincoin, BALTIMORE, Aug. 1, 1868 To-day, at two o'clock, Hon. Reverdy Johnson, Minister to Great Brilain, and family, sailed in the steamship Baltimore for Southampton. Mr. Johnson was escorted down the river bya large number of personal friends on the steamer Chesapeake and about a dozen steamers and tug- boats, crowded with passengers. The Baltimore was decorated from deck to topgallantmast with flags and signals and her railings fore and aft with ever- greens. The entrance to the ship from the gangway was arched with flowers and evergreens. In the es- cort were Baron Von Gerolt, the Prussian Minister; Senator Van Winkle, of West Virginia; General Van Viet, Quartermaster’s Department neral Brookes, commandant at Fort McHenry; Mr. C. C. Cox, Com- missioner of Patents; the ex-Goyernor and many members of the press from Washington and Balti- more. On passing Fort McHenry a salute of thirteen guns Was fred, and flags were dipped on board the ship. Mayor Bank, of Baltimore, toasted Mr. Johnson in behalf of the people of the city whom he claimed to represent, and wisied him a pleasant voyage. Mr. Johnson responded in appropriate terms, and in the course of his remarks said:—“I go to England as @ minister of peace; my instructions look to peace, and if I am able to carry them out in the spirit which they are given me, peace will be the result, So obviously is this the interest of the two nations that the good men of both will strive to make more firm and enduring than ever the peace now existing. We are the same people, descended irom the saine stock, and no matter how much we may have differed in the past and have met on sea or land, we are now satisfied that it does not pay us to be at enmity. We ought to stand together and maintain the principles of political liberty. There is another government which has stood by us in the past and whose interesis and ours are the same, and [ ask you tu join me in a toast to the King of Prussia and the able representative of tat mon- who 1s always a consistent friend of the United tates amd endeared to us all who have known him ing the many years he has represented his gov- ernment in this country. Baron von Geroilt expressed gratitude for the kind firm recognition by Mr. Johnson, and reiterated and devoted fricndsiip to the government and ple of America on beitalf of himself and his gov ment. ff ‘Yo @ toast to the State of Maryland and her Minister to Engiand, ex-Governor Bradford re- sponded in eloquent and appropriate ianguage. ‘The ovation to Mr. Johnson was a magnificent vestimonial of the respect of his fellow citizens, vegardiess of political feelings, and a fitting en- dorsement of his unanimous confirmation by the Senate. The Chesapeake parted from the popeoe in the bay at thirty-five iniputes past five o'clock # M. Among tie passengers was Wormiley, tie noted restaurant caere: of Washington, who goes as servant to Mr, Johnson. The widow of the jate President, Mrs. who has been in this city since Thursd: engaged passage on the same ship, under of Mr. Johnson, was taken suddenly il jasi: night. This morning she is able to sit up, but too much in- disposed to undertake a voyage across the Atlantic at present. EUROPEAN MARKETS.

ANOTHER DISASTROUS CONFLAGRATION, An Extensive Cotton Oi! Manufactory Totally Destroyed by Fire in Harlem—Loss Sup- posed to be About Three Hundred Thousand Doliars=The Origin of the Fire Not Known. About half past eight o'clock last night a fire was discovered in the extensive cotton oil manufactory of Oppenheim & Co., situated on the East river, between 117th and 118th streets, Harlem. When first discovered men went at work with pails and buckets, trying, but in vain, to stay the progress of the flames. Notwithstanding the drenching rain of last evening, the fire ran along the roof like a crawl- ing serpent. The origin of the fire could not be ascertained, but is supposed to have taken from the flue, as it was first discovered near there. Owing to the combust- ible materials in the building the fire progressed with great rapidity, and in less than half an hour the entire building was on fire. The flames shot ap in spiral columns over a hundred feet in the air, light- ing up the neighborhood for a considerable dis- tance. The public institutions on Ward's and Ran- dall’s islands were almost as plainly seen as at noon day, and near the fire you could see to read the finest print. There were 30,000 gallons of manufac- tured oil in the factory, and when that caught fire the scene was one of awful deur, and although the firemen worked with their vigor, it seemed almost @ waste of time to throw water into the burn- ing mass. Such a loss and such @ scene have never before been witnessed in the north end of the island. The factory was located about eight months ago at its present location, and Messrs. Oppenheim & Co. were doing a very heavy business. They were running three sets of their preases. They have lately been adding about $130,000 worth of new ma- chinery, which was not yet completed, on which there was but little insurance. In the factory there were about 2,500 tons of cotton seed,and on the dock a large sey, which they had not room to putin ‘their bi at present. ‘The loss to Messrs. & Co, on the buiid- ing, machinery, hydraulic presses and stock is over $300,000, on which there is an insurance of about 150,000, which is divided between sixteen com- most of which are city companies. ining the cotton oil mill is the extensive mo- manutactory of John G.

The treaty, which was transiated into English by Messra- Frown and De Champs, is set sorth in English and Chimese characters, the official s-als and signatures beiwg at- tached to both copies. The Chinese characters, which appear to be very neatly executed, are arranged im perpendicalar columns. The reader must commenee atthe top of the left hand column, read straight down and then take the others in snecession anti the end of the extreme right is reached. The margin, 80 to speak, ts at the top of the sheet. The names and titles ofsuch important personages as Emperors; Presidents, &c., are placed above the margin by way of showing the high estimation in which suc dignitartes are, or should be, held, Thus, supposing the Chinese scrive to commence his copy of the treaty at the top of the left hand column, he would go on filling up the lines in succession until he came to the words “United States” or “government of China,” and then, no matter how much space he had left in that column, he would at once break off and commence on the next, in order to elevate the title of the government one line above the margin of the comnfin matter. The characters representing the Emperot of Ohina or those representing the President of the United States, which are equally elaborate, figure conspicuously at an elevation of two lines above the margin, There are only three lines of honor, and the topmost is sacred to words pertaining to religion. In the Chinese copy of the treaty the word “Christianity” is placed above the names of all the “princes, dominions, potentates and Powers” who are parties thereto. MUSIC AND THE DANCR. Up to the present the Chinese have not been a dancing nation, but there Is no telling what changes may take place on the return of the Embassy. A party of itinerant musicians halting at the door of the Westminster, Teh, the English speaking interpre- ter, made a special request for “Ohampagne Charley,” to which exceedingly lively and popular air he beat excolient time with @ pair of chop-sticks, and just as that particular point where the refrain comes in a lively young Mongolian in spectacles was so carried away by his feelings that he actually snatched up his lowing skirts and tripped it on the light fantastic to the admiration of all beholders, Having imbibed some idea of the poetry of motion, who knows but what this young traveller may some day invent a Pekin breakdown. PHANTASMAGORIC. Early In the Svenlng the members of the Embassy asseinbled in one of the parlors at the Westminister to witness some of the wonders of the hydro-oxygen microscope. Some idea of the magnifying power of this wonderful mstrument may be formed from the fact that the point of an ordinary sewing needie loomed up considerably larger than an ordinary sugar loaf, while the eye looked large enough to ad- mit of tne free passa; of the largest sized shot. Having shown sach rare sights as the gizzard of a cricket, a mosquito’s eyelash, the front tooth of ahorsefy, &c., the pre exhibited his col- lection of wild animale The pt fe at arms between a common ant and a small house spider beat cock fighting: the terrific encounter between the water devil aud some other horrible little crea- ture was exciting in the extreme; but the feeding of the water tiger was the sensation of the evening. At the conclusion of this novel and toteresting exhibi- tion the Chinese gentlemen retired to put on their dresses of ceremony pi ratory to paying their visit to the Heranp Building, THE CHINESE AT THE HERALD OFFICE, Upon their first arrival in the ropolis the Celes- tial representatives of Mr. Burlingame'’s Embassy early expressed a desire to visit the office of the leading newspaper in the country. The art of print. tng, 80 rudely practised in their own land, wasa subject of no small interest to the philosophic and inquiring minds of the two piflosophers of tne Embasssy, as weil as the st (6 la attendance, especially Fung and Teh, whose knowledge of the Ativvican tongue renders everything in the country doubly interesting. The HeesLo office was de- sigueted not only as it wae tle most extenstve in its appointments and the most perfect in its mani ment, but as it presented the best extubition of the details of producing a first class paper. The interpostsion of oth part of the Embassy led to the postponement of their visit in the first instance, and the time arriving for Uie departure of the Embassy for the national capital in order to consummate the more immediate objects of the mission it was thought would deprive them of this much desired pleasure. Upon return- Ing to the city, however, several days since, the con- te:mplaied visit was revived, and last night was fixed on as the last opportunity to gratify their curiosity. ve De scription of the Ori the Members of Lierald Offve-A Pull ~tatereeting Ine or of ure Js dewing 80 fear jossibte to eemain any of dy; NAMES OF THR VISITORS. Shortly after eleven o'clock Messrs. J.

Here, after a brief conversation upon different topics in connection with newspaper matters, through the assistance of the mierpreters, the party took positions in the elevator, by means of whic they reached the COMPOSING ROOM. Here the party were introduced to the head of that department and were also greeted by a large num- ber of the printers, who turned out for the occasion. After sauntering about the room, minutely examin- ing the setting of type and asking ques- tions through the assistance of the in- terpreters, the attention of the party was called to’ the closing of @ form preparatory to the process of stereotyping.

In the reporters’ room some of thenr sat down and entered into discussions. con- cerning the marvels of the printing presses, while four or five of them watched with great interest and erincised very. freely the principle and appearance of the English written language. Looking intently and inquisitively over the shoulders of some of the gentlemen engaged in writing reports, they seemed sorprised at the facility and rapidity with which the ea glided over the surface of the paper, and par- icularly at the connection of the letters in constrnct- ing words, their own writing consisting as it does of number of detached signs. ‘They seemed fully up- preciative of the Caucasian passion for antography, and several of them, in order to gratify what they knew was a propensity of Ameri sat down and traced their patronymics in the peculiar characters of thetr antique language and distributed them to oles. | and | { persons present.

After a handshaking with their cicerones the Em- bassy entered thé carriages in waiting, and, shortly before one o'clock this morning, were driven to the Westminster Hotel, discussing, in terms of earnest admiration, the system upon which American jour- halism is conducted, and with which they are'no eee some extent familiar and deeply in. sted. WADE HAMPTON AT HOME, His Speech at Columbia, S. C., July 28. General Wade Hampton was received very enthusi- astically on his return to his home in Columbia, 8 C., on the 28th uit. In response toacall he made the following remarks:— He said he had hoped that, after having listened to the eloquent speakers who preceded him, they would not desire him to address them, not only on that ac- count, but because his voice was weak. There were many present who had frequently heard him address larger crowds, and when very different kind of noises than peaceful acclamations saluted their ears; but to-night, for the first time in his life, his voice had failed him. General Kershaw had referred to the advance of the cavalry in the campaign of to- night, and he desired to add, that though the posi- tion had been inverted, he was glad of it, and felt great confidence after hearing the eloquent remarks of that distinguished generai, a3 they made hiin feel as secure as in the days of other and more sanguin- ary campaigns. He always felt safe when he knew Kershaw was on his flank, He preferred to postpone any extended remarks to-night, as he would have an opportunity at an early day, and desired it, to lay ‘before them the history of the New York Convention and what part was taken in_it by our delegation, (A voice in the crowd— ever put of for to-morrow what can be done to- day.) General Hampton received the interruption with great good humor, and continuing his remarks, said that when che Southern States were invited to take part in the New York Convention he waa clearly of the opinion that they should accept and should go there and meet the Northern men face to face and teil them that they had surrendered in good faith, and that when they said they wanted we they meant peace, just as when they had said war they had chine that they weanut war. He believed, then, we should let them see we were not ali fire-eaters, as many of them believed ua to be, but that arms had been laid down in good and we desired to unite heartily iu the restoration of political and material prosperity. And the result had proven the correctness of his views. When our delegation ar- rived in New York, they were received in all quarters and on ail sides ip the mest hearty manner. They were urged to participate in all the deliberations of the Convention, and were consulted freely in all mat- ters of moment. The same reception was given them by the members of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Convention, which was also in session at that time; and such of its galiant members as McClernand, of Hifnois, said, gallantly, that they desired to extend the right hand of fellowship to the men wyem they had been fighting, and who had now jaid djwn their arms. To them he had replied that for himself, his delegation and his people at home he accepted that hand in good faith. (Cheers.) Now, if we wish to gee the State restored to all its former prosperity, he d to the people to bury all past prejudices sions in one common grave, and in solid mass, without regard to color, to rally around the rd of the New York Convention. He spoke to kK man as well asthe white, for he believed ly that the interests of the two were insepara- bly bi up in @ common cause as he believed that God ruled over the destinies of the people. If they attempted to draw a iine of demarestion and array themseives against the whites they would be pressed from the soil and endure the fate of the Indian. ‘To having is mind thus directed to something show. ing consecutively all the manipulations through wuich the form passes before reaching the press, kept his eyes firmly riveted upon every movement of the workmen and every new phase of the work. in this he was imitated by; the inquiring students present.

On the 20th or July, at his residence in Londoa, died Joseph Stirling Coyue, a dramatic writer of con- siderable eminence, and \vhose works, particulary his melo-dramas and farces, are familiar to all who patronize, in either hemisphere, the English stage. Mr. Coyne, the son of am officet 1a the Irish commais- sariat, was bora at Burr, Kings county, Ireland, tm 1405, and was consequently at bis demise in the aixty-third year of his age. He roweived his educa- flow at a school in Dungannon; and had he followed the inclinations of hts parents, instead of being the sparkling, protifc pfaywrigitt, ke wou have passed his life aga barrister, getting up briefs or pleading nolle progequies in dull courts of law.
