Then followed the rank and file amounting, all told, to between six and peven hundred colored men, There wero not more Shan three wiite men in the whole crowd. As soon es this small but highly interesting procession ar- Wived at the capitol grounds it halted and broke yanks. By this time about two thousand five hun- @xed persons of various colors and both sexes were present. Between three and four hundred dusky Gaughters of Africa, dressed gorgeously, were squatted close by the platform, They laughed and @hatted with the males in the best of good humor ‘gnd made themselves as happy as possible.

He then proceeded to discuss the charges of extravagance made against the republican party, dirt ailucing to the fact that the burden of taxauon should justly be iaid at the door of the democratic party, who brought on the war. They accuse us of extravagance; we have paid $647,000,000 of the debt incurred before the close oi the war. When it closed we had over a miilion of soldiers in the eld and we were in debt tothem. In four months we paid over $400,000,000 to them. In nine months we paid $840,000,000 to the army and $59,000,000 to the navy. We pald over $700,000,000 Mr. Pendleton says we spent it, We have reduced taxation $167,000,000 in a year, and have reduced our expenses $190,000,000 the present year, and in all taese matters of reduc: tion the votes of the democratic party were against us.

Governor Baker and Senator Hendricks have ar- ranged for a joint discussion of political topics in Indiana, and the first meeting will take place about the Ist of next month. It ia reported that Edgar Welles, son of the Secre- tary of the Navy, will be appointed Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury. A canvass of the number of prominent persons and presses that have changed front since the Prest- dential campaign commenced shows about an equal force on each side. Mr. v. 8. Gooding, of Indiana, @ Lincoin elector in 1864, is on the stump for Seymour and Biair. It is stated that Hon. John Morrisacy has drawn his bets against Seymour and now goes his entire strength for the democratic nominee. Mr, Fillmore is called “the Sage of Buffalo,’ be- cause he is silent on political topics sipce the nomi- nation of Seymour. ‘The Hartford Times states that General B. F.

This spasmodic utterance of the cable conveys little information, for we are not informed, nor we been previously told what the terms of peace were when the nogotiations commence, nor whag were the stipulations as to the building of fortificas tions, Cable telegrams, to hand some shoré time before from St. Petersburg, would mduce us to supe pose indeed that the Russians were completely triumh phant in Bokhara, had arranged their «liMoulties with the Emir in a satisfactory manner and were Te+ tiring peaceably from the territory, elther homeward or towards Western China. We are enabied, in some measure, to reconcile these contradictions by special summary of the events which transpired at and near Bokhara to the 20th of June, and by placing before the readers of the” HERALD the chief poimts of ihe peace articles pres sented to the Ameer, not the Emir, of Boklara by the Russians, a In the early days of May the Russian troops com menced a marci: from their frontier near bokhara 1 the direction of Western China, weakening their gare risons considerably, but still leaving a sufficient number of men stationed along the great river reute of their first advance to enable their commanders to keep well informed as to any movements undertakeB by the natives in their absence, On the 20th of May the Ameer, apparently deceived into an impression of the weakucss of the Russians by these military movements, proclatmed a jehady or holy war. Assuming tor himself the position of principal ruler of Turkestan he formed an alltanca with the Kban of Khokand and with the Ameer of Oorgunge. The united forces of these chiefs gathered on the banks of the Zerafsian and mens aced the Russians at Djizak from the neighborhood of Samarcand. <n ‘This formidable coalition was at once met by fie Russians, by the march of enormous forces on Tashe and, while the garrison of that place was pusheg forward to the seat of war. The army of the Ameer was tn comparison a m¢ rabble, since every male in the Khanate above th age of twelve was called upon to serve in its ranks While the force was gathering tho Ameer of Oors gunge, or Kliva, remembered that Sirdar Yakood All Khan, Goveruor of Herat and son of Ameeg Shere Ali, was under an obligation to him, and dese patched an emissary to the sirdar with the view of adding the forces of Afghanistan to the crowds which were being massed against the Russians. Thé misston failed in consequence of the envoy falling into the hands of Shere All during the absence of his son onthe Candahar expedition, Ameer Shere Ali detained tho Khivan, and declared his intentlog of sending him on to the Russian cainp. The Ameer encamped at a place calied Kermina, between Samarcand and Bokuara, Here he was yisited by & deputation of Moolians, all desiroas of preaching up tue crescentade, or religious war, against the Russians, ‘The Ameer’s nephew next set-out for Samarcand with a body of Mooliais aud Jchadis and encamped at the shrine of Ahmed Jan, « distance of five huny dred paces from tue walla, Here they were attacked by the Russians, and many of their men being killed the remainder fied. 'The eldest sun of the Ameer commanded at Samare cand, The Russian General-in-Chief tramediately on heats ing of the Ameer's proceedings marched on Samar cand, which he annexed to the dominions of the Czar, and Bokhara feil subsequently. Marching on Bokhara tbe Russians left no detach» ments south of Samarcand, and withdrew theig troops from Charjoe. After the capture of Samarcand the Russians suse tained several attacks from numerous bodies ef enemies, especially at Zela Bulah, twelve versts fron Katy Kurgane, where they were finally beaten and routed. The Emir’s troops were commanded by Hadja (a Turk) and Osman (a renegade and formeriy @ Siberian Cossack).

Kaufmann, of the Russian army, went t the assistance of the besieged by forced and on the 20ih of June, after a siege of eight the citadel was liberated and the euemy driven from the town. Samarcand was then beclared fully and completelp annexed to Russia, Some short time subsequently the Ameer was oifered the following TRRMS OF PRACE by the Russians, which it is to be supposed conta provisions referred to in the cable telegram pul» lished in the HexALD yesterday. ‘The Russian General offers to the Ameer:— 1. That the sellimg of men and women shall be 48 ce prohibited. 2 the Ameer shall construct roads through ont this country, and that these should be open te the Russians, 3, That the Russians should have a cantonment at, Bokhara, and that the old city should be (oa built on @ which they 4. That one-fourth or & ohout of the revenues Of the Bokhara Khanate should be made over to the eror. If the Ameer consent to these conditions capital and his throne will be spared. a On hearing these terms the Ameer pretended to g@ on @ hunting excursion. He went from place te place, but his whereabouts was not correctly known, The troops he had collected also dispersed. It was then reported that the Amecr was at the bottom a great friend of tue Russians, but that from fear of the fanaticism of his people he professed himself to be their enemy. It was reported from Samarcand that the Rusia garrison of that place consi<ted of 13,000 men.
