The Coroner's inquest upon the remains of the victims of the recent terrible railroad calamity av Abergele, Wales, was commenced in that town to day. A Woman named Dickens, living near the spot Where tne disaster occurred, and who saw the accident, deposed that she went to assist the persons in the burning cars and that some might have been saved but for the fact that aid was refused.

He asked the issuance of writs to bring Castlerosse and others who were on board the train to testify] before the jury, which were granted. Mr. Townsend and Mr. Hone, who were passengers on the train, testified that at the time they thought the fire broke out in the goods van they were unable to seea yard ahead, and that they left the scene ‘Unaware that any deaths had occurred.

More Indian Outrages—Mother and Child Murdered and Their Bodies Shockingly Mangled—Twelve Murders in Two Days— Capture of Indians, Sr. Louis, August 28, 1868. A Denver despatch says that the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians are still committing depredations and murdering inoffensive settlers in Central and Eastern Colorado. On Tuesday they attacked the Kiowa station, on the Smokey Hill route, capturing thirty horses and carrying off a woman and child, whose remains were found yesterday, shockingly mutilated, and were brought here for burial. Another band killed three men yesterday at Latham, on the Platte stage road. They ‘chased the Smokey Hill coach for several miles, keeping up @ running fire, without doing any damage. Governor Hall organ- ized @ company of sixty volunteers and left Denver at three o’clock this morning. General Sheridan authorized him to call on the commander at Fort Reynolds for assistance, No doubt every effort will be made to punish the savages. Great excitement exists, as the Indians are stripping the country of stock and provisions, Twelve persons are known to have been murdered within the past two days. A Cheyenne despatch says:—Edward M. Pratt, of Peoria, “Ill, who was in company with J. B. Everett, herding horses two miles from this city early this morning, was surprised by five Indians and scalped. He was brought into the hospital, where he died at ten o'clock A.M. The Indians drove off thirty of the horses, Everett escaped. Another band is reported as having driven off a large number.of horses pmo piles west ot Cheyenne. General Wes- sels sent cavalry in pursuit, but nothing definit been heard from them, g yee Helena, Montana, despatch, says:—On the 2d nst.a party of citizens captured twenty Indians Who were out stealing near the Old Mission, on the Missouri river. They are en routefor Fort Shaw to deliver the Indians to the military authorities. Indian Outrages in Texns, Et Paso, Texas, August 12, 1863, The train of Mr. Thomas Everett, engaged in freighting flour to Fort Cummings, was attacked by Indians on his return trip in the Magdalena cafion, thirty miles from the fort, After a desperate fight the train was taken by the Indians, with all the mules, and Mr. Everett and four of his men were wounded, one mortally.

GEORGIA. Legislative—Discussion Upon the Ineligibility of Negro Members—Telling Speech by a Colored Representative. ATLANTA, August 28, 1863, The Senate to-day confirmed the appointment of H. P. Farron as Attorney General of the State and adjourned on account of the death of Representative Moon. In the House the discussion on the resolution to unseat colored members was resumed. The Chatr decided that each colored member should have a hearing by himself or attorney. Mr. Bryant made a speech of two hours in length. He said that nineteen Christian centuries looked down on us to-day; that that man was an infidel who does not see the hand of Providence in the affairs of this nation during the past seven years; that men who prate of negro superiority and supremacy show they are afraid four million negroes will control thirty- six millions of whites and are not deserving of the Anglo-Saxon blood; that they who say our ancestors fought to make this a white man’s government belie history—that they fought to establish an asylum for the oppressed of every nation. He said the Declara- tion of Independence was a compact with the Almighty, and that he who denied that it referred to negroes as free and equal was an infidel; that the Declaration says “We, the People,” which means the negro as wellas the white. He said it was surpris- ing that Irishmen, coming from a land of oppres- sion, were the first to join the howl of “Down with the negro.” He said that if the negroes were ineligible, then none of the laws enacted were legal; that for Bullock, a Provisional Gover- nor, or General Meade, to thin out these men was revolution; that when Governor Brown decided that these people had no right to office he made the great mistake of his life; the speaker wanted no such re- publicans in the party. He said if the negroes were unseated they would appeal from the House to the people. He said mr. Lincoln’s emancipation procla- mation had won the fight; that we are nearing a terribie abyss: “let the people pause before they take the leap.” He said thatthe persons who are inciting the negro to insurrection mistake their bravery—tiat they are the brave men of the coun- try—men who stand firm and fight in the front ranks, ‘The House adjourned on account of the death of a member. CONNECTICUT. Anniversary Mecting of the Seventcenth Regi- ment Connecticut Volunteers.

It changes little from day to day. It is not to be imagined, however, that such life is dull. This, indeed, would be a great mistake. What with rides around by the Suspension Bridge to behold the grandeur of the Horse Shoe, with visits to Table Rock, to the Whirlpool, to Goat Island and its three little sisters, to the Terrapin Tower, to Luna Island, to the Cave of the Winds and the many other spots of interest, with the constant intlux and eMux of guests, with the stirring strains of music morning and afternoon, and with hops almost every night ait one or other of the hotels, life is not allowed to degenerate into dulness. There ts little new from day to day, but the likeness of one day to its fellow ts compatible with much pleasurable exercise and not a little agreeable intercourse. ‘The weather ts all that could be wished. At noon the sun’s heat 1s almost tropical in its intensity, In the shade, however, even at noon it is never’ disa- greeably warm, The mornings and evenings are deliciously cool. Nature is clad in most attractive attire. The brillant tints of midsummer are sober- ing down into the richer hues of autumn. ware, is perhaps more gorgeously marnificent in midwin- ter, but it cannot at any time look more truly beauti- fulthan now. The Indian summer, which is just setting in—a season which has no exact counterpart off this Continent—is seen here to peculiar advan- tage. Politicians do not much congregate here. It is less easy, in consequence, to feel the political pulse of the nation here than at Long Branch or any of the other watering places where the guests remain for weeks and even months in succession. The guests at the Faliaare chiefly tourists and seldom remain longer than a dayortwo. In the present. condition of the nation, however, every man ts in- terested in the Supronciing Presidential election, The Grant men who come and go are all of them Aupareny, confident of the success of their favorite, ‘The voice of the majority, however, is for Seymour and Blair, as the best means in the circumstance of deliverance from radical. misrule. Your corre- spondent has had an opportunity of ascertaining the sentiments of several influential Southern gentle- men, most of whom were Union men throughout the war period; but one and all of them give it as their opinion that the negroes will go with their old mas- ters. In this they rejoice, not that they care much for Seymour, but because anything, they think, is preferable to @ continuance of radical tyranny. ‘These gentlemen look forward with fear to the prob- able doings of Congress if an extra sesion is con- vened in September. The hops at the Falla this week have been singu- larly lively. It is seldom that we have here anything at all approaching the magnificent toilets which are daily seen at Saratoga and at Newport. On Tuesday evening at the International and on Wednesday evening at the Cataract House the toilets reached a point which even Saratoga could not surpass. EXECUTION OF A NEGRO Hanging of Harrison Young—Scenes at the Scaffold—The Rope Breaks and the Prisoner Falls to the Ground—Ze is a Second Time Suspended and Dies Protesting His In- nocence, FORTRESS Monroe, Va., August 26, 1863. Yesterday morning Major Putman, with thirty men of his company, accompanied by the Sheriif of Warwick county and a few friends, proceeded to Warwick Court House, having in charge the colored man, Harrison Young, sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Mr. Wooten, of Warwick county, two years ago. Warwick Court House is composed of acourt house building, jail, hotel and some dozen houses, situated on aslight elevation of land between the York and James rivers. The streets are over- grown with grass, the fences old and rickety, and the place has the general appearance of decay ob- servable in most of the small Southern towns. ‘The scaffold was erected inthe yard of the Conrt House, where about two hundred persons, most of whom were colored, had assembled to witness the execution. They manifested very little excitement. At about half-past cleven o'clock the Sherif? con- ducted the prisoner to the scaffold. Young was ap- apse Bee) thirty-five years of age, five feet eight inches in height. He had manifested a dogged indif- ference to his fate up to the hour of his execution, when his demeanor changed, and he seemed to real- ize the awful situation which left him no reason to hope for the exercise of further Executive clemency on his behalf. On being asked by the sheriff if he had anything to say, he replied no; that he was imnocent of the murder; that there were four men in the plot to kill Mr. Wooten, three of whom were now in the Nor- folk jail. Herefused to disclose the name of the fourth person. Young was then told to prepare for death. He knelt down on the platform and made a short but fervent prayer, at the conclusion of which he burst into tears. The rope was then adjusted; while this was being done he continued to protest his innocence, At eight minutes before twelve the latiorm fell, but the rope broke and the prisoner fell to the ground. A new rope was immediately adjusted and at twelve o’clock Harrison Young was launched into eternity. ‘The associates of Young in the murder have had their sentences commuted by Governor Wells to fll- teen years’ imprisonment at hard labor. . MILITARY NOTES. The Forty-seventh regiment arrived from Albany yesterday morning in the Rip Van Winkle. Despite the fatigue of the journey up and down the river and the severe exercises at Albany the men looked and marched exceedingly well. All the fleid oMcers and many of the guests who accompanied the regiment to the capital returned with it, It is due to the for- mer to say that during the trip they co-operated heartily with the officers of the regiment in the ex- cellent arrangements provided for the comfort and enjoyment of the invited guests. The Forty-seventh was landed at the foot of South Sixth street, Brook- lyn, and immediately marched to the Armory, where it was dismissed, ci Adjutant General Marvin will shortly publish a full and complete roster of the New York volunteer regiments and regiments of militia in the service of the United States during the war. The report, which will contain eight hundred closely printed ont will give the names of all the officers who served in those organizations in the field; the date of commissions; their rank and brevet appointments; the deaths, resignations and all other facta necessary to a complete history. The work will be of great e to whoever undertakes to write the history of the New York regiments in the war for the Union, and will be eagerly read by the oMcers and soldiers of the Empire State. It will be ready for publication about the 15th of next month. General Marvin has also in preparation a general order which will settle all the knotty points in dis- cipiine now in dispute, and render the performance of court martial duty much more easy of accomplish- ment. The order will also contain instructions to omicers for their guidance, at drills, parades and re- views. ‘The following named officers have been commis- sioned by the Commander-in-Chief in the National pas oo of New York, during the week ending ugas' ond ‘ Nineteenth regiment infantry—John ©.

The stallion Naugataugh was the favorite previous to the scoring, the impression being that he could beat the others easily, He sold for $50, Prescott for $35, Charley for $10 and Mary Sayres for $7. This rate of betting was soon changed. When the horses began to score it was discovered that the stallion had no speed, as he hobbled and hitched until he tore a shoe off, This, however, was soon adjusted, but the other horses had each taken their places as favorites alternately before the word was given. Charley became the favorite, then Prescott and afterwards Mary Sayres, the stallion bringing little or nothing in the last pools, After the first heat Charley became the favorite against the fleld. Prescott sold as second choice, about forty to one being laid against the stallion, John Murphy took J. H. Whitson’s place behind the mare after the second heat, and then she ran into favor, and con- tinued to be the first choice until the end of THE RACE, First Heat.—Charley got away first on the inside, Mary second, the stailion third, the gray fourth. Charley led one length to the quarter pole in forty- two and a half seconds, the mare second, the gray third and the stallion four lengths behind. On the backstretch Charley, still leading, opened a gap of four lengths on the gray, the mare having broken up, and he passed the half-mile pole tlve lengths in front in 1:25, the gray second, Mary third and the Stallion far behind. On the Finshing end the gray closed up a trifle, but Charley, with his commanding lead, was to be the winner to a certainty, barring accident, He held his advantage without a break and came home a leader by three lengths, the mare second, having passed the gray on the homestretch, the stallion last, just inside the distance stand, hav- ing throwa a shoe at the three-quarter pole. Time, Second Heat,—All the horses broke up before they got on the turn, Rodin, who drove the gray, man- aged to get his horse down first, and took a lead of four lengihs before the others recovere!. At the three-quarter pole he was four lengths alead of the brown mare, Charley second and the stallion far in the rear. Going down the backstretch the horses were considerably spread out. The gray led at the half-mile pole two or three lengths, Mary secona, eight lengths in front of Charley, who was ten lengths ahead of the stallion, Time, 1:26, On the Flush- ing end the gray broke, and the mare went in front and came on the homestretch four lengths ir front of the gray, who was three lengths ahead of Charley, the latter being sixty yards in ad- vance of the stallion, ‘he gray made a fine eifort up the homestretch to overtake the mare, but he broke up badly and stayed up until Charley passed him. J. H. Whitson, who drove the mare, then broke ber up, and Charley, with Asa Whitson driving, went in a winner by a length, the gray second, one length ahead of the mare, who was seventy yards in front of the stallion, Time, 2:5344. Third Heat.—Considerable wrangling had taken lace between heats about the finish of the last, and lohn Murphy took John H. Whitson’s place behind the mare, when betting set in that she would win the race. The mare got away trst, Charley second, the gray third and the stallion “last, ag usual, At the quarter pole Mary led three lengths, Chariey second, two lengths ahead of the gray, who was eight lengths clear of the staillon, the latter seeming inclined to do a little pacing. ‘The time of the quarter was forty- two seconds. Going down the backstretch the mare opened the gap, aid was six lengtus atiead of Charley, who was three lengths in front of the gray, the stallion having thrown another shoe and been stopped by his owner and turned about to return to the starting place. At the half-mile pole the mare 3 leading half a dozen lengths, Charley second, three lengths ahead of the gray, The mare increased her lead ator the Flushing end, and came on the homestretch eight lengths clear of Chariey, who was. about the same distance in front of the gray, the lat- ter having broken up on the way, A very easy gait brought the mare in a winner by six lengths, Charley second, four lengths in front of the gray, the stall‘on distanced, Time, 2:5114. Fourth Hect.—The mare was now offered at one hundred to forty, with few takers. She took the lead, Charley second and the gray last. On the turn tie mare fea one length, Charley second, three lengths in front of the gray. At the quarter pole the mare and Charley were head and head in forty-two seconds, Going down the backstretch the race was exciting between the mare and Charley, and they trotted side and side to the hall-miie pole in 1:25, the gray taking a run and going close up to them at that point. On the Flushing end the contest was close be- tween the trio until the gray broke up and fell ot four lengths, the others going yoked ‘ther to the Shree quarter pole. As they swung into the homestretch the mare seeined to be slightly on the lead, but she soon afterwards broke up, and Charley went to the front, when he, too, left his feet. The gray then came along on a break, and the three were on arun at the same time. The mare was the first to settle, and she went on a winner by four lengths, the gray second, half a length ahead of Charley, the two latier having trotted very little of the last quar- terofamile, Tune, 2:5134. Fifth Heat.—\t was nearly dark when the horses came up for the word. The mare was away first, the gray second, Charley last. They continued in this way to the finish, the mare going in four lengths: aliead of the gray, Who Was half a leugth in frout of Charley, ‘Time, 2:55, HORSE NOTES. Messre. Dennison & Mills bought the young Eclipse colt, dam an Arlington mare, from Mr. Morris for $10,000, He is now called Narraganset. This isa pretty steep price for a two year old. The Suffolk Park trotting meeting, which begins next week at Philadelphia, bids fair to be the finest that bas taken place this season. Lady Thorn, Moun- tain Boy and Lucy will contend for a $2,000 purse on one of the days. A trotting meeting commences at Now Haven next Tuesday, which will bring together all the East- ern horses. The trotting gelding George Palmer, owned tn Rochester, beat, Mr. Sprague’s stallion Rhode Island at Somerville, N. J., on Wednesday last. Charles L.

Boson, Mass., August 28, 1368, To-day is the anniversary of a very important event in the record of the imperial family of late Hian-Fung, and was duly celebrated by the Chinese members of the Embassy. This morning at an early hour the attachés of the Embassy dressed them- selves in their ofMfcial robes and waited upon tho Tajens, who occupied the parlors used by Chih Tajen. The occasion was the official recognitions, ac- cording to the customs of their country of the birth- day of Tzu-an, Huang-tal-hou, or Empress dowager. The Emperor Hian-Fung, as ts the custom with all emperors of China, had three principal wives—first, the Empress of the Middle Palace; second, the Em- Press of the Eastern Palace, and third, the Empress of the Western Palace. The Empress of the Middle Palace being deceased, Tzu-an, or Empress of the Eastern Palace. is now the senior Empress. The birthday of Tzu-an, Huang-tai-hou, occurs, accordin; to the Chinese calendar, on Chi-yen Chu-er (twelft! day of the seventh month), which this year corre- sponds to this day (August 28), In China these anniversaries are the occasions of at ceremony, All the oiticials of the empire aving the entrée of the palace are expected to observe certain forms. Those living at the capttal, before breakfast, dressed in court attire, call at the palace to pay their respects. Those at a distance from all the provinces send memorials up to the imperial personage, the object of honor, ‘to ask after his or her health and peace of mind,” To these memorials a reply is written with a veriillion pencil, “Cheu-an” (I am well). This morning, after the attaches had paid their re- spects to the Tajens, the entire party—Chih Tajen and Sun Tajen in front and the young mandarins in a row in the rear, all facing towards the north— knelt three times and bowed nine times, The cere- mony was performed in silence and lasted but a few moments, At noon Chih Tajen and Sun Tajen, followed by the oung mandarins, called upon Poo-Tajen (Mr. Burg ingame) in his private parlors, After each taking Mr. Burlingame’s right hand in both of their own, Chih Tajen, through Mr, Fung as interpreter, Mr. Brown not arriving till late, with great solemnity said:—“ We come in accordance with our custom to inform you that this is the anniversary of the birth- day of Tzu-an, Huang-tai-hou (Empress dowager ‘Tzu-an), and that the day has been observed in the usual forms by us.’? Mr. Buriingame replied:—I am glad to find in this distant land you continue to observe the customs of your own, for those who are loyal to their own cus- toms cannot be false to their government. As in the case of the birthday of the Emperor, which occurred during our presence in San Francisco, I must again wish that the Empress dowager may have many re- turns of such days. After a brief conversation the Tajens and young Mandarins retired to their apartments. The Embassy will leave here the beginning of the coming week for New York, from which pare they — embark for Europe during the month of Septem- er. THE NATIONAL GAME. Star vs. Union, of Lunsingburg. The “Ilaymakers” played the third game of their Present series yesterday at the Capitoline grounds, having for their opponents the young Stars, of Brook- lyn, The game was by far the poorest of the three in which the visiting club has taken part and was deprived of a great deal of its interest by the fact that neither party was represented in its full strength. Tne Stars were minus the services of Reeves and Worth, while Crane and Penfield, of the “Hay- makers,” were still laboring under severe Injuries, tue latter not being able to participate in the game at all, while the wounds of the former necessitated a complete disarrangement of the entire field. The Stars were general'y out of position, Rogers, a splen- did outfielder, holding second base, while Galpin, a base a a was posted in the fleld. The game opened in a@ style which threatened to make tia decidedly one-sided and uninteresting contest, as the Untons scored no less than twelve ruins tn the first innings, mainly by good batting, but assisted in part by very loose fielding and wild throwing. From the second innings to the close, however, the Brook- lyn boys worked with a will, so much so that during the next eight innings the Unions scored but eleven runs while they themselves succceded in running up thirteen, There was a great deal of mufMlog by numbers of the Union nine during the entire game and but few brilliant plays were made. Rogers made a beautifu line catch from Enright’s bat, and Jewell succeeded in putting out 8.

The score of the game is as follows:— COLORED CITIZENS mM ML NORIAM OF THADDEUS STEVEKS. Some twenty colored ge."tlemen met last evening at the chamber of the Freedaen’s Bank, in Bleeckog Street, to perfect arrangements’ for @ mass meeting to be held at Cooper Institute to express the feelings of their class im respect to thy late Thaddeus Stevens, Mr. Nathaniel B. Lewis was called td the chair. He Stated that the meeting Was an adjourned meeting, which was called by Mr, Robert Elia with @ view ta give expression to their Sentiments of regret at the death of Thaddeus Stevens, their late spectal friend and benefactor, He hoped'they wor proapey. of giving public exhibition to nhete tee ings iu this matter and that they would make the Proposed demonstration alike worthy themselves and the heroic men whose memory they all should take pride in commemorating.

The onpartontiy Was before then to show copperheads and the world thetr respect for this man and, in showing It, to indicate their line of Political policy in the future—a determination to gant up for the rights vouchsafed in the constitu- On motion a committee of three was appointed ta select a General Commitvee of Arrangements. This committee, after a brief absence, suggested fifteen names to constitute the committee called for. The merits and demerits of the parties named were thor- oughly canvassed ina multitude of speeches, each mame being acted upon separately. Some names were rejected and others putin their places. The following names were finally agreed upon:—Messrs. Francis Lewis, William H. Crosby, Daniel A. Brown, William T. Wlageon, R.A. Motley, C. H. Lansing, Francis H. Thompson, William Emory, William W.

Langston was sugwested aa the eulogist of Mr. Stevens at the coming meeting. Mr. Langston was bitterly denounced as a pet of Andrew Johnson, as a hunter after the Consul Gene- ralship of Hay, as in principle the blackest of black men. One speaker said he was a traitor in the cainp and said he was in favor of putting the knife to the throats of all such, Another insisted that as Mr, Langston had been written to on the subject and accepted an invitation to address the meeting, it would be impossible to do otherwise than accept his services, Motions and counter mo- tlons, and speeches and counter —< hes on this topia occupied over two hours’ time. It was fnally deter- mined to select another orator and leave the selec- tion in the hands of the Executive Committee. It was also decided to leave with the same committee the arrangement of the time for the meeting. it lacked but a few minutes of midnight when the meeting adjourned, THE WEEKLY HERALD.

(From the Ai ita (Ga.) Constitutionalist, August 26.) Some speculators aver that this promised address Will be @ solemn declaration on the part of the South of the freedom of the negro, per omnta secula secu- lorum, As any intention to re-enslave the negroes nil 3 ry ey, denied, ve an Ce gn we & great degree, superfucus a forerunner of thousands more, since a fresh allocu- tion would be necessary to pacify and mitigate every novel falsehood of the enemy, ‘While we do not pretend to deny that something of the kind may be even now hatching, as the result of the Greenbrier pow-wow, it would be far more dramatic and Napoleonic to conceive Rosecrans’ Mexican mission may mean mischie! to Juarez and a future for the irrepressible freedmen of the South. The United States would upset Mex- ico in a jitfy if the way was clear. How shall the way be cleared without finding @ casus bettt with the murderer of Maximilian aod the assent of the South to keep the peace in the rear of tnvasion? It 18 @ foolleh bugaboo to suppose that the South is at all warlike, but still te bugaboo may exist, and the “best government,” &c., may desire to remove even shadows from its path. Now, the South may enter into this arrangement if she ca fee any benefit in it to herself, What good may eventuate? We see a at possible good; no jess than the removal of e vexed question of the negro from Amert- can poiltics, by transferring it to the so-called falls of the Montezumas."’ Suppose Rosecrans, ‘faa the oracle of the government, pronounces the doom of Mexico. Immediately thereafter a general proclamation could be issued to the blacks inviting them to help to-conquer @ land which would be @ perfect paradise to them, and where they could tn- duige their social equality theories to their hearts’ content, In this country their destiny must be an evil one; first, an almost total loss of political in- fluence, and then final extinction from natural, if auses, But Mexico offers them saiva- t hostile, tion, honors, a glittering future, tf they can com- mand them, b having everything their own way under tropic skies and witlout the perpetual en- roachment of fierce civilizations. Thus, at coe magnificent stroke, the United States will be pacified and Mexico made nq worse, It is a first rate prospect, if It be practicable, The alien is Gen- erais Lee and Rosecrans may not see it through these lamps. if not, we still contend that the idea is 9 fine one, It may be made light of by future revela- tions. If so, we can console ourselves as our famous orator, Mr. Ben. Hill, did, during @ recent speech. He waa entering into @ philosophical review of the situation, when some individual screamed out, ‘What about Gibson?’ “My friend,” retorted Mr. Hill, “I was —— aright good train of thought, and yet you interrupt me with a very sinall matter.” If Rosecrans does not Cog the Mexican puddle and donee the quest at the same time, we deed the assembled wisdotu of Greenbriar spall im- prove nnen onr him | must insist that ii is another Gibson cage; unless tn- ond the |.
