pose the mismanagement of the national finances. As to Ben Butler, he tries hard to accommodate all parties and sections, to be everything to all men and particularly to his constituents of Massachusetts, through whose votes he wants to be returned to Congress again. He isa greenback man, or a gold man, as the case may be. No man in Congress was so loud in declaring the debt should be paid in greenbacks and in denouncing the grasping bondholders. His tone was wonderfully Yowered in Massachusetts and he talked a great deal about keeping faith with the public creditor. He is about as great a weathercock on the financial question as he has been in Politics, Such are the narrow-minded twad- dlers who presume to discuss the national finances and to direct the public mind on the subject. THE YACHT SQUADRON. ‘The Cruise of the New York Yacht Club—The Fleet at New London—The First Race to Come Off To-Day—Programme of Future Movements. New Lonpon, Conn., August 10, 1863, New London without the yachts of the New York Yaoht Club is really like Jupiter without a beard or a lion shorn of his mane, and no one at all conver- sant with this rural city can fail to acknowledge the foree of tlie simile; but any mere figure would fall short of portraying New London if deprived of the annual visit of the yacht squadron, It keeps the city alive. It has put the Pequot House, where from the ptazza can be heard the lashings of the ‘Sad sea waves,” in @ blaze of gayety and imbued all, even the ‘oldest visitor,” having a character for respecta- bility and due solemnity, with a state of mirth quite incompatible with old fogyism. From this hotel the Neet is seen in all s&s regal beauty. Around the Phan- tom and far upon either side of her, looking sweetly in their harbor rig, are all the vessels, while upon the decks of some during the day could be discerned handsome ladies, who seemed ecstatic with the bright sunshine and their favorite crafts. Besides these there have been many strangers from miles ‘about to look upon this picture, They came by boat and by cars, and after coquetting with the objects of their visit returned at nightfall invigorated with the scene and the whispering breezes of the place. The sail from Glen Cove has been referred to by all the yachtmen in terms of the greatest approbation. At was pretty, spirited and effective. The wind was light at the start from the south-southwest, but during the day full sail breezes made the hearts of all leap with gladness. The small boats at first crept out into the Sound, while their larger sisters did little else than drift for the first hour; but all this was changed and the spectacle at times was sublime. The contests between many of the boats were really gallant struggles, and the pic- turesque positions of the Palmer, Phantom and Dauntless, sailing side by side shooting to their an- chorage in the harbor, has never been equalled in any race or regatta of the club. The yachts got away from Glen Cove at twenty-five minutes past six o’clock on Sunday morning, and the Eva arrived at her anchorage here eight minutes past four o'clock, followed by the larger ones in the order named:—The Dauntless, Palmer and Phantom almost together, twelve minutes past four; the Idler seventeen minutes past; the Fleetwing eighteen min- utes past; the Halcyon and Magic twenty-eight min- aates past, and the Rambler for jaye) minutes past four, This shows the remarkable time made. All carried every stitch of canvas they could hoist. The Alice and Rambler satled about the Sound three or four hours this morning with several lady guests. ‘The new boats Minnie, Mattie and Madgie have not yet arrived, but will Rrotaity come in early to-morrow.

Then will come Newport, which the fleet leave for on Wednes- ai nd then more races, more prizes and other happy, times. 3 I write the fleet is illuminated and the weird Scene about the harbor and hotels is made more en- chanting by fireworks and softe music that comes wafting up from the band, and mingled with it there also comes to the ears of the yachtmen a grand old chorus from a number of jolly tars somewhere near the landing. The Eva and Palmer at nine o’ciock to-night were the favorites among the betting inelincd gentlemen on tue race of to-morrow. Yachting Notes, On Wednesday next (to-morrow) the fourth contest between the sioop yachts Martha and Mattie will take place from the Brooklyn Yacht Club house, foot of Court street, South Brooklyn. The Martha belongs tothe Brooklyn Yacht Club and the Mattie to the Bayonne Yacht Club, of Jersey City. The race, which promises to be one of unusual interest, in conse- quence of the sharp rivairy between the respective owners of the vessels as to the sailing abilities of their oom will be over a course of ten miles, to windward and return, for a stake of $1,000. The contesting vessels will start at one o'clock 'P. M. and ‘will be accompanied by the ateamer Alice, with a ly siore of refreshments for the inner man. The steam pleasure yacht Anna, of and from New York, bound east, arrived at Providence, R. L., Fri- day afternoon. She is owned by Alderson Biunt, of New York, and is on her first trip.

I., on Saturday morning, with a party of seven gentlemen, bound on a ten days’ cruise. AQUATIC. Match Race Between Blue Four Hundred Dollars. Yesterday afternoon a large concourse of persons assembled at the Battery to witness a match race between two well known oarsmen, and long previous to the start the event was eagerly looked forward to with much interest, while speculation was rife and confidence in both contestants loudly proclaimed, ‘The course lay from a flagvoat near the Battery to Robbins’ Reef Lighthouse and return, being a dis- tance of about eight miles. The boats rowed were small sculls or seventeen feet working boats, and througliout the entire race gave evidence of strength and speed. At twenty-five minutes pist four the Signal was given, and oif went the contestants in splendid style. The viciuity of the starting point ‘was crowded with a number of suwall craft, ‘whose constant moving abont unquestionably marred the free of the boats. Blue rushed to the front gradually increasing his speed for about a mile, when Peach pulled strongly aud admirabi forced his boat, however unfortunate the result. The race now began to assume some features of ex- oitement, the supporters of cach contestant Senet diy from the accom) img steamer. It shoul: that both and sea were unfavora- bie, the latter very rough and chopping and entirely too strong for such a contest, About midway Biue cautiously pulled to leeward, witie Peach with the evident though erroneous idea of going right ahead rously faced the waves. The consequence was his boat which shipped the water at nearly stoke now to fill rapidly, and tly in @ sinking condition when down for him. and assisted empty it, which of course debarred winning the Peach for Rie Hig cl } Peach, having got to coy but all hoe ho purpose, for thouse he was again com- relieved or water. 5 ince NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, TELEGRAPHIC NEW FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.

MONTREAL, August 10, 1868, The Nova Scotia secession members have agreed ‘to use all and every constitutional means which they can command (but constitutional means only) in order to remove Nova Scotia from the Canadian con- federation. They deprecate rebellion against the crown and annexation to the United States. This really means that they accept the situation.

Governor Warmoth’s Letter to the President. NEW ORLEANS, August 10, 1868, In support of Governor Warmoth’s assertion that @ hundred and fifty murders were committed last month in this district, and half of them in this State, yesterday’s Republican contained two columns of extracts from and references to letters in War- moth’s possession, detailing outrages in the coun- try parishes from March last to date. These extracts do not show that either the civil or military authori- ties or Freedmen’s Bureau took cognizance of any of these affairs. GEORGIA. Legislation—Opposition to the Resignation of a Colored Senator. ATLANTA, August 10, 1868, The Senate to-day received a message from the Governor acknowledging the receipt and acceptance of the resignation of A. A. Bradley (colored), Senator from the First district, and the issue of write for an election to fill the vacancy. Mr. Bradiey was entitied to the Moor this morning to finish his defence, but resigned Saturday evening before the case was re- sumed. The Governor’s message was received and the President decided that as Bradley had resigned there was 00 necessity for further action. An ap- peal was taken afd the day consumed in discussing Bra‘ a eligibility. The republicans declared that Geng Order No, 90 settled the question of eligibili- ty; hence Bradiey’s right to = Mr, Minnaily (democrat) claimed that no power could deprive the Senate of the right to decide the eligibility of its members, and denied the right or power of the Governor to accept the resigna- tion, and, according to the laws and constitution, Bradley is ineligible and cannot resign. He read General Meade’s order, expressly stating that the matter of eligibility rested entirely with the Senate. ir. Ht (republican) raised the point of order that as the Senate had aiready acted onthe matter of eligibility it could not now be discussed. Mr. Minnally denied such an action, and said that the point taken by Mr. Higbee is out of order, be- cause an appeal had already been taken from the de- cision of the Chair, The Chair insisted onthe point. The yeas and nays were called and the point loat, Mr. Hinton (democrat followed in an address in sup- port of the appeal from the decision of the Chair, and clied the case of General Silelds in Con; when his right to a seat was discussed. Mr. Shields was a foreigner and tendered his resignation, and that great oF sage of the constitution, Daniel Webster, argued that Shields, not being Ong no right to resign, and the Senate agreed with him.

Colonel Marmaduke Johnson, the conservative nomt- nee for Congress, spoke first. He was followed by Colonel Robert E, Withers, the conservative nominee for Governor, whose remarks were greeted with the wildest applause. When he had concluded calls were made for Colonel Robert Ould, late Confederate Commissioner of Exchange, who came forward and made perhaps one of the best democratic addresses on record. He created a wild enthusiasm 4nd elicited cheers at the conclusion of every sen- tence, During the course of his remarks a negro in an ad- Joining shanty frequently interrupted him, and as he alluded to a certain Ben Scott (negro) as a delinea- tor of the laws of the United States, a brick was thrown by a ni at the speaker's stand, on which was a band and a number of people, among them our correspondent. A rush was at once made in he direction from which the missile came, but at the same time a cry was raised in the opposite tion. A fight was in progress there, and thither half the crowd ran. Meantime a fierce demonstration was made upon the shanty, from which the brick was thrown, and amid the breaking of windows with bricks, the smashing of doors and the pistol shots, the most fearful excitement prevailed. Just at this moment a fleeing negro made his appearance, pur- sued by @ crowd, and some shots were dis- charged at him, but without taking effect. twenty pistol shots in all were L. The hour at which the riot occurred was about eight o'clock, and darkness hid a great deal from the view. It was afterward ascertained that a preconcerted movement had been agreed upon by the negroes to break up the meeting and the ruse of a fight in the other direction was merely to divert atteution from an attack to be made on the stand. After the first fight several other riotous demon- strations were made by the negroes for the purpose apparently ot keeping the crowd together. ne white man was severely wounded by a brick on the head. A number of others were struck, and just as I conclude this report, I learn that two negroes were mortally wounded and one slightly; one of them now (eleven P. M.) being reported ina dying condition. The adjacent alleys may reveal a tale to- morrow. One of the wounded negroes 18 at the police sta- tion in a bad condition. There was one white man stabbed severely and one policeman knocked down by a blow from a brick. Several minor casualties are spoken of. A large number of split rails, intended for an assault upon the stand, were found where the crowd of negroes had been dislodged who provoked the riot. Hunnicutt, a few days since, advocated the tearing down of all Seymour and Blair flags in his paper. The speaking has just concluded. MISSOURI. Marriage of Mike McCoole—New Railway Line—Alleged Fraud by a St. Louis Banker— Steamer Snagged. Some Sr. Louis, August 9, 1868, Mike McCoole, the celebrated pugilist, was married to-night to Miss Mollie Norton, daughter of Daniel Norton, a rich contractor of this city.

An attachment suit was entered yesterday in the Criminal Court against A. Black, of the firm of Black & Co., bankers and brokers, of this city. Mr. Black @ day or two ago drew from the National Town Bank $9,000, and shortly after it was discovered that he had overdrawn his account $7,000, and was called upon to make it good. He replied that the money had been expended and he could not do it. An attachment was then issued and the bank taken possession of by the Sheriff, and only about $300 was found. Mr. Black’s residence was then visited to serve an attachment on his furniture. Fastened to the bottom of a parior chair was found ® package containing between $7,000 and $8,000, which was rec ized as a portion of the money drawn from the bank. Mr. Black was immediately arrested and is now in confinement.

Boston, August 10, 1863. Mr. Motiey, our late Minister to Austria, has de- clined an invitation to a public reception extended to him by Governor Bullock, Mayor Shurtleff, of this city, and many other prominent citizens. In his letter Mr. Motley says:—‘‘Perhaps you will not think it ovt of place for me to say on this occasion that in the country where I have been so long officially re- siding it Was never my lot to hear or read any ex- ressions of unfriendly feeling towards our country. very manifestation was courteous, kindly and sin- cere.

Paw Presa AUGUST 11, 1868—TRIPLE WALLACK: THEATRE. The drop curtain at this house was rung up last night at the usual hour, preliminary to the introduc tion to a large and intelligent audience of the new five act drama—founded on the sensational novel of the purely French school of fucilleton literature, “Oulda, or Under Two Flags'"—entitled “Fire Fly, or the Friend of the Flag.” ‘The plot, which was pub- lished in the preceding edition of the HERALD, ad- heres with tolerable accuracy in its generalizations to the original. Of course in dramatizing the story Mr. Edmund Falconer prepared it, as a mantua maker would a dress fora lady customer, for Lotta, there- fore to sum up the play, subordinating characters in whole and in part, Lotta is Fire Fly and Fire Fly is Lotta, Or, to speak more directiy, the success of the drama, not alone of the character she impersonates, depends wholly upon the tremendous exertions, physical and mental, of Fire Fly (Lotta). ‘The characters are, many of them, quite conspicuous, in Ouida—as, for example, the Pioneers of Corona, Harold Cecil, an English nobleman laboring under unmerited disgrace and who seeks to end “his ilis of rank and fortune by enlisting as a private in.the Chasseurs, who are battling the Arabs in Algiers. The plot is, to state it briefly, worked out of love, stupidity, supposed disgrace, soldierly misconduct and the freaks of a child-woman (Fire Fly), who is presented to us as the daughter of the Chasseurs, who brought her up in their hard school, teaching her more than child-women should know, and yet preserving amid every danger her chastity, With this impressive character many possible things are done and many that should be kept undone. The tableaux were all fine and char- acteristic. The whole story is confined to the c:mp of the French and the Arabs, The end of the second act was, with the exception of the closing scene and tableaux of the ffth, the finest in the piece, It in- cludes @ song and dance by Fire Fly, assisted by the soldiers. On the dropping of the curtain Lotta was vociferously called for, and on finally making her appearance she stated, having first picked up several bouquets that were thrown = at her feet, that she had been quite unwell and had left a sick bed rather than that her audience should be disappointed, closing by requesting that she would not again be'called before the curtain. At the conclusion of the ely she voluntarily came for- ward and apologized for any shortcomings, promis- ing todo better to-night. The drama ing. There is much in it that is not necessary development of the story and much that is simply ridiculous. There were three “first appearances” who did their parts, with the others, creditably. Of course @ first night cannot be closely criticised. A little cutting down of the conversation, as we have hinted, added to a hetter acquaintance by those in the cast with their rdles, and “Fire Fly” wiil draw good houses until the reopening of the regular sea- son. New York, August 9, 1863, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Having seen a notice in an edition of your paper last week that I had put an injunction on Mr. Morse, the manager of Wallack’s theatre, to prevent my daughter, Lotta, from performing her engagement I wish to deny the fact as you have stated it, and put the matter in itt proper light. Ihave served Mr. Morse with a notice that, my daughter Lotta being a minor, I hold him responsible for her engagement. JOHN A. CRABTREE. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, The United States steamer Marblehead, Lieutenant Commander L. Fitch, five days from Key West, ar- rived at Fortress Monroe yesterday with all on board well. She brings as passengers Captain Dare and Paymaster Meade. The Gettysburg and Narva were in port when the Marblehead started. ‘ne famous old ship Hartford steamed up the bay bnaaahcrad morning and dropped anchor abreast the javy Yard, Notwithstanding her long cruise the good ship looks none the worse for the wear. Her appearance in the river was the signal for numerous boats, fully manned, to put out and welcome the noble vessel once more to the waters of New York. Visit of Secretary Welles to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The Hon. Gideon Welles, who is at present making tour of the Northern navy yards, arrived at this port Sunday afternoon on the United States steamer Talapoosa, The Talapoosa lay off the Battery until an early hour yesterday morning, when she steamed abreast of the Brooklyn NavyYard and landed her distinguished passengers. The Secretary was re- ceived with the customary honors. On his landing the marines of the station, under the command of Colonel Broom, came to the “present,” a salute of seven(cen guns was fired from the Vermont and the band at- tached to the receiving ship faba @ musical wel- come. During his inspection of the departments the Secretary was attended by Admiral Godon, Commo- dore Jenkins, Chief of the Navigation Bureau; Rear Admiral Radford, Commandant of the Washington Navy Yard; Commanders Whiting, Benhon and Cushman; Captains Kimberly and Nichols, and Cap- tain Trenchard, the executive officer of the Brooklyn Yard. The Pesan completed, the Secretary ex- pressed himself highly pleased with the condition ot the various departments and warmly complimented the officials in ee The.Talapoosa is heavily freighted with cargo for the different navai stations, and although Secretary Welles ig not on a formal tour of inspection, his trip 1s not altogether one of pleasure.

Arrival of the Embassy at Niagara Fally—A Large Crowd Greets Them—Mr. Burlin- game Meets a Committee of the Board of Trade of Buflalo—Speeches on the Occasion, NiaGaRA Fats, August 5, 1868, Leaving Auburn at a quarter to eight A. M, to-day in a special car, the different members of the Em- bassy, accompanied by Christopher Morgan and Mr, Osborn, of Auburn, passed their the during the journey as their tastes or inclinations suited, read- ing, smoking or dozing. At every point on the road large crowds assembled to see the members of the Embassy and pay their respects to Mr. Burlingame. At Rochester and Lockport there were immense gatherings, and cheering and cries for “Burlingame, Burlingame, speech, speech,” greeted the ears of the distinguished travellers, The feeling exhibited everywhere was most gratifying to the Embassy. It was nearly four o'clock when the train arrived at its destination, A number of carriages were in waiting. The crowd which had assembled to greet the party was very large and exhibited the custom- ary curiosity. The members of the Embassy, how- ever, made their way through the crowd and drove to the International, where the flag of China waa thrown to the breeze. As the carriage of Mr. Buriin- game drove up the band on the porch of the hotel played “Hail to the Chief.” Shortly after the ar- rival of the Embassy Mr, Hatch, of Buffalo, chairman ofa committee of forty-five gentlemen representing the Board of Trade, met Mr. Burlingame and stated the objects and presence of the committee. At haif- past cight, in the parlors of the hotel; Mr. Burlin- game and his associates met the committee, in the presence of a large assemblage of ladies and gentie- men, After shaking hands with the members of the Pmbassy Mr. Hatch delivered the following ad- dress:— MR. BURLINGAME AND YOUR ASSOCIATES OF THE Cuinesk Empassy—With feelings of profound satis- faction J, a8 a citizen of Buffalo and of this great State, welcome you here, to whom ia confided the partial {uauguration of a policy constituting one of the three most important events in the history of this nation. We ap ag the three greatest events in the annals of this continent {ts discovery by Co- and its consequent colonization, our national ndence through the great American Kevolu- tion, and, though last, not least, the advent here of yourselves as heralds of the great movement by the most numerous people on the face of the globe to strike off the shackles from trade between us and enlarge the beneficent sphere of human brotherhood. These constitute important Spochs in the history of mankind. We have seen with lively interest that you have honored ‘us by choosing one of our citizens as the ambassador of the imperial will from the oldest nation of the world to the youngest. When a few years ago tt be- came generally known that the Chinese were migrat- ing Lo the shores of our possessions on the Pacific public attention was not forcibly arrested by the lact, so long has this country been the haven and home for emigrants from the nations of Western Europe. For a long time previous the most saga- cious statesmen among us had foreseen migration from Asia, and especially from your empire, and awaited with great interest a solution of the problem it would present. Now, when, tnstead of a few solitary emigrants from China, hun- dreds of thousands are laboring in our mines, making our railways, and are a in many other departments of industry as weil as ac- cuiring wealth by commerce, so that not less than amuillion of dollars are said to be monthly trans- mitted to China as the result of their savings, a strong public interest has arisen towards the govern- ment and people of your country, and there is a gen- eral desire to carry out the objects of this embassy, especially in that great practical test—the extension of our commercial relations. You have visited our Atlantic cities, prolonging sour stay at the maritime metropolis of this State, the head of the foreign com- merce of the nation. We have come here as a com- mittee of the Board of Trade of Bufalo, of which I pm an honorary member, with his Honor the Mayor to invite you to the chief inland metropolis—the head of the inland commerce of the nation, one of a series of cities exten Westward along the great lakes for & distance of 1,000 miles, and practicallyto the centre of the continent. We wish to give you at least a glimpse of one of those inland seas whose original sources are to be found in the plateaus and moun- tains of the West, and whose accumulated waters are madly foaming and thundering in the cataracts at our feet, Leg cternag the most sublime spectacle in the world. The time is near at hand when the rail- Toad across our continent will have been completed. With steam navigation across the Pacific to your country from ours, not only shall we be brought ractically near to you but the nations of Western Europe will also find the continent which with its vast and solitary wilds was @ barrier to intercourse between you and them, has become so far changed that it affords the most expeditious as well as the shortest means of communication. We wish to point out that along these great lakes and the canal to the Hudson river, and thence to New York, we have now @ line of water com- munication towards Asia no less than fifteen hun- dred miles in length. By completing steam com- munication from the head of Lake.Superior to one of our rivers—the Missouri—availing ourselves of its navigation and going down the Columbia rivera. line of transit across the continent can be estab- lished with ouly about six hundred imiles of railroad, or one third more than ge have traversed since you left the city of New York, Along this line of trausit, when once established, all bulky and low-priced commodities will be carried for all time to come in the course of exchanges between the people of Southern Asia with those of our Northern and opulous Atlantic States and of Western wth ir. Hatch alluded to the canal of Languedoc, by which two centuries ago Louia XIV. con necied the Mediterrancan Sea with the Atian- tic Ocean. The policy adopted by the en- lightened statesmen who projected both these great works was alike. Our statesmen did not at first foresee the future importance of their work as means of international communication across the continent; but they recognized the wisdom of Louis XIV,, through Colbert, his profound and sagacious Finance Miilister, in relation to the tolls on public canals or national highways. He said in the same spirit of true union the national character of our canal wag fully recognized from the begin- ning, gnd our State declining to tax inland com- merce Hever tised the tolls levied upon transit ex- cept to pay the coat of piaking the canals aud of maintaining them. In twenty years Buffalo had in- creased nearly tenfold, and bida fair to reach $1,000,000,000 In 1371. More than cighteen hundred vessels are employed in the commerce of the lakes, and more than two thousand steamers on the rivers of the West. Our international! fraternity is now recognized, and we offer our congratulation that the equatity of your people and our own has been placed on the same footmg as that of the most favored nations of the earth by the treaty so recently ratified. An undeveloped empire invites the co-operation of your surplus ralilions eager for employment, and tn- Vites that co-operation through the tastrumentality of steain and all the great inventions and tmprove- ments which facilitates modern progress, The cen- tral portion of this continent midway between basa and Asia renders our own territory not only the highway for our own trade, but the great thoroughfare for the world. We bid your people weicome to a participation with us in the naiurai advantages already referred to, and to share with us the fali benefits which will ve derived from the de- velopment of these resources by human ludusiry. MR. BURLINGAME'S REPLY. Mr. Burlingame then said:— Mr. Hatca, Mr. MAYOR AND GENTLEME: COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRADE OF BU On behalf of myself and associates | thank you invitation to visit the great boy! of Butfalo. you for the manner in which it is I thank expressed. I appre- clate the statements which you have made reiating to trade. I myself cap bear witness to their truth as far as they relate to the trade of the lakes, as I have long been @ careful student of thetr truth in early life, having dweit upon the shore, Fully estimating theirimportance to the city you repre (and wot wishing to repulse the good wili of the peopie, but focling deeply grateful for it, still [ must respond to you as [ have done in similar cases, to decline any public ovations. This is a business missiou; it is accredited to the governments of the West. It has already had relations with the government of the United States. It has met the representatives of the people, the President, Secretary of State and the Senate, who have enabied us to make a treaty, every line of which isin the interest of China and in the resulting in- teresta of every nation. Our hope is that the same extraordinary unanimity shown here may meet us when we shail meet the other Lin 8 Powers. For the present, leaving my associates here for afew days, I go to visit an aged father in the West, after which shalt visit my old home in Boston, and then I shall go to Europe, extending to those nations the same hand of good will which was so kindly re- ceived by the United States, and we trust that our mission will result in a unification of the whole human race. Thanking you again for your kind- ness, and wishing you all the pros ity which it is the lot of human a, to ko your city that commercial prosperity to which it is entitled by ita position and the enterprise of its citizens, 1 beg the Beiviiere of taking you by the hand for the purpose if ex ing friendly courtesies. In conversation the Embassy and the committee spent some time. The committee returned to Buf- falo at eleven o'clock this evening. It ts probable that during Mr. Burlingame’s absence on his visit to his father the secretaries, the Tajens and students ‘will make a day trip to Buifaio, To Prevent Horses BRina Teasep sy FLiss.— ‘Take two or three small ‘all SING SING CAMP MLETING, Statement of Dr. Newmau Relative to the Operations of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the South—Thrilling Address of Rev. J. 5. Insikip. Sina St August 10, 1848, The morning boats and trains conveyed a number of persons to the city, many of Whom have families staying on the ground, At ten o'clock public ser- vice was held at the main stand. Rev. J. M1. Tart- ton, a young graduate of the Dublin University, preached an acceptable sermon from the twenty-first verse of the fifth chapter of Romans. He waa fol- lowed by Rev. Dr. Newman, who gave @ thrilling exhortation, A prayer meeting was held, at which @ number of conversions took place. In the afternoon, by invitation of the Presiding Elder, Rey. Dr. Newman gave an interesting state- ment of his labors in New Orleans, He was appointed by Bishop Ames to take charge of the Southern de- partment during the administration of: Mr. Lin- colin, Then he was on a hill, but when there came a change of administration the descent began and the valley Was reached; but he was thankful te say that he was ascending the hill again, and he trusted that loyalty would again be respected. The “old church’? was being re-established throughout the South. Now within the States of Louis ana, Texas and Mississippi the Methodist Episcopal Church had three annual conferences, which had been formed within two years and a half and had grown out of a little mission established in New Orieans, = T @ were over eighty preachers and ut twenty-five thousand members, with a quarter million of church property. Dr. Newman also abiished @ logical school, from which have ied eflicient and successful pastors. He also ithe New Orleans Advocate, a weekly journal, was a financial success, The Doctor was anxious to take care of the chil- 1, aud consequently, in connection with Gatho- stablished an orphan asylum; but when they mpted to teach the Roman Catholic Catechism he preferred to withd . He did not want to teach them the Methodist catechism, and he was bound the children should not be indoctrimated with Ci ism. A division was agreed upon, the G taking $900 and he (Dr. Newman) the children, which Was the lion’s share, A gentleman came from France and pledged the sum of $10,000, on condition that 20,000 e should be raised, for the erection of an The requisite sum was obtained and Dr. un succeeded in purchasing a plantation which before the war was worth $90,000 for $13,000, and with the balance of the money he was able to erect @ suitable building. He was responsible for the care of one hundred and ten orphans, mostly colored, and proceeded to make an appeal for aid to feed this multicude, which was responded to with great liberality, The amount subscribed was over $300, Rey. J, B. Asten, of the New, York East Conference, preached an able discourse. His theme was the evidences of Christianity, his text being, “Can there anything good come outof Nazareth? Philip saith unto me, Come and see.’ At the conclusion of the sermon Rev, J. 5. Inskip, of New York, rosé and delivered an address, which, for earnestness, point and thrilling pathos, we have never heard excelled. He spoke with emphasis upon the tendency to turn the camp meeting into a picnic instead of using it as an effective instrumentaiity to save men, and deprecated the tendency of fashion- able Methodist churches—which hired singers to do their singing and ministers to do their praying—to de- part from the “old paths.” It is needless to add that after such a thrilling appeal an old-fashioned Metho- dist prayer meeting was held. The tide of religious emotion is evidently rising high, for before the meet- ing closed numbers testified that they had made the acquaintance of Jesus. ishop Janes will arrive to-morrow and no doubt will be prevailed upon to preach, Thus it will be seen that the chief shenperds of the Methodist flock encourage these unique ligious gathering by their resence and official endorsement. Bishop Janes a3 nothing of the sensational in his composition, and would be supposed by many to be. little out of his sphere in addressing @ camp meeting audience. The majority of his Nock would be more apt to select his colleague (Bishop Simpson) for such a perform- ance. But Methodist readers will recall the fact thas one of the most effective sermons ever preached at acamp meeting was delivered by Bishop Janes at Morristown @ year ago, and which was spread on the wings of the denominational ress. The ‘@-a compound of gentleness an® Torce, and when thoroughly is at times as effective as was the illustrious Wesley, whose characteristics he largely shares and in whose footsteps, throughout @ long career, he has closely walked. It expected that Rev. 8S. H. Tyng and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher will favor the camp with their resence. Could there be a more refreshing spec- acie than to witness the youthful Episcopalian di- vine standing in front of this mixed congregation, composed in part of representatives of Bogus and Stubbs, and listen to his withering denunciations of their wickedness, and then to be followed in true Methodistic fashion by ® warm appeal from Brother Beecher to come to the mourners’ bench? If it were certain that Mr. B. could be induced to leave hia farm for a day would it not be advisable for the Wal! street sinners, who from Sabbath to Sabbath sit under the “drop- pings” of the Plymouth sanctuary, to close their Mammon temples and charter a special boat to listen to a good warm Methodist exhortation from the lips of their favorite apostle? The Committee of Ar- rangements are an efficient and liberal body of men, nd will exert themselves to the utmost to supply the wants of the inner man while the ministerial brethren are attending to their spiritual necessities. By all means let the Brooklyn Heights sinners, clothed in purple and fine linen, together with the Wall street operators, turn their faces to this spirit- ual Jerusalem (Sing Sing), which, if many of them had thetr just deserts, they would long ere this have tuvoluntarily reached PaRrRtoipk—A Boy FOURTEEN YRARS OF AGE Stabs AND KILLS His Fatupr.—On Thursday of last week aman named Thomas, a farmer, residing in Centre township, Greene county, Pa., caine to his. death under the following cireumstances:—On the day mentioned Thomas was in the act of cruelly beat- ing his youngest child, when the mother interfered to save the little one.
