FROM THE PACIFIC COAST. Affairs in AlaskaHow Adventurers Civilize the Natives=The Successors of the Russian American Fur Company—Indian Hostilties in Idaho. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9, 1868, Genera) Halleck furnishes reliable information with regard to the abuses existing in Alaska, which were made the subject of @ special investigation during his recent visit to that Territory. Much of the dis- satisfaction among the natives arises from the fact that the old Fur Company carried on a sort of patri- archal goverrent, assuming the care and control of everyboidy aud everything in the settlements. Under thenew r «/methe people are thrown upon their own resources, and they do not understand the change as yet. The immediate effect of introducin a number of strange white traders, adventurers an soldiers in a semi-civilized community like that of Alaska is bad. ‘The habits of the new comers and their method of undertaking to civilize the natives often take the form of instructing them in vice. General Halleck did not find it necessary to court martial any of the ofMicera of the United States troops in Alaska, though he thinks it probable that many changes will have to take place before matters work smoothly in that Territory. It is said that Hutchin- son, Kohel & Co., the successors of the Russian Fur Company, are in the occupancy of buildings which, apparently by the treaty, should belong to the United States, but that ifany wrong has been done to our government it has been done by Prince Wak- sutoff, the recognized agent of Russta, who delivered the property in question to Hutchinson & Co. in- stead of to General Rousseau, the agent of the United States. It is also reported that the men in the employ of the old fur company and their fam- ilies have departed from the place, the pre- sumption being that they were removed against their will. Some of them, it is said, have been sent to Sitka, some to Kodiak and others to the Amoor river, but, so far as our military officers are informed, they need not have been removed against their will, Our officers are certain that no violence waa used in getting them aboard the vessels in which they departed. It is evident that Hutchings & Co.'s agents are striving to impress the natives with the idea that the new company have succeeded to all the hts of thelr predecessors. Some of the agents, it is said, have threatened that the soldiers shall punish the natives who sell furs to other American traders than Hutchinson & Co. The military authorities, how- ever, have been instructed to make no distinction between traders, but to treat them allalike. Gen- eral Halleck has taken steps to inform the natives of the true standing of the mercantile firm referreds to and of the impartial position of the military. The ea of Hutchinson & Co. here, in San Francisco, meee of the course pursued by the agents in Alaska and have ordered {ts discontinuance. Late Idaho advices state that a party of soldiers from Fort Boise succeeded in capenring “Eagle Eye’ and his entire band of Indians, forty-one in number, together with twenty-one horses and a lat yd of provisions. This capture ends the Indian hostili- ties in that section of the country. General Crook writes from Camp Warner that he found many indians in Big Valiey, on the Pitt river, most of whom he was able to approach. He had a talk with some of their leading men, who confessed that a party of Pitt River Indians murdered the Pearson family in Long Valley, Nevada. General Crook ordered the arrest and hanging of the murder- ers, which he thinks will have the effect to prevent any further outrages of such @ character.

Protest from the Expelled Representatives Proclamation by the Governor Against Armed Organizations, ATLANTA, Sept. 10, 1868, In the Honse to-day a resolution to reconsider the adoption of the resolution of yesterday reflecting on the Governor's message was lost. The negro members lately declared ineligible have published a protest addressed to the Speaker and members of the House, in which they enter a solemn protest against the outrage perpetrated on their race and say they will appeal at the proper time to Congress. The protest is signed by twenty-eight expelled members and twelve republican members, and is accompanied by a demand that the protest be entered on the journal of the House, which the House refused to permit. In compliance with the resolution passed by the Assembly, and in consequence of the violence com- mitted in some counties *y armed and unlawful bands of negroes. the Governor has issued a procla- mation in which he denies giving authority for armed or unarmed organizations, and warns the people that drilling and exercising in military tactics with arms by any organized body, except the army of the United States, is unauthorized, unlawful and against ace = and ood order, and must be immediately suspended. He says that per- sons distinguished for their hostility to the United States and the State are promoting the said acts of violence by publicly denouncing the laws as unconstitutional and void, and the result of said acts of violence and insurrectionary appeals is mani- fest in the rapid spread of the disposition on the part of those who maintain the validity of the laws of Congress, and of the State governments estab- lished thereunder, to protect themselves by arms st such atts of violence and combinations against civil rights. He quotes General Grant's parole given to Lee’s army, wherein it says the per- sons paroled will not be disturbed by the United States authorities as long as they observe the parole and the laws tn force where they reside, RCS TENNESSEE. of the Crew Legislative—Disagreement Between the Sen= ate and House on the Militia Bill—Murder.

The Arnual State Convention of the Young Men’s Christian Association. AUBURN, Sept. 10, 1963. The afternoon session yesterday of the Young Men's Christian Association was opened by a prayer meeting, led by A. T. Goodnough. The hymn, “Jesus Shall Reign where’er the Sun,” &c., was sung, and the 19th chapter of Luke was read by the leader, A. G, Visscher, of Rome, led in prayer, after which the beautiful words, “My Soul, be on Thy Guard,” &c., were sung.

SARATOGA, Sept. 10, 1868, The agricultural fair of this county began to-day. A great many people were present and much interest was manifested in regard to the proceedings. The surrounding districts were all well represented, both in the attendance of farmers and the agricultural products which were brought for exhibition. The proceedings were inaugurated by the following ad- areas, delivered by ex-Governor Horatio Seymour:— EX-GOVERNOR SEYMOUR'S ADDRESS. Having lived upon farm during the past three years, I have given agriculture a great deal of thought. It is a broad subject, and one which tonches every interest society, Each year, at this season, the question is anxiously put,are our crops good and will there be a foreign de- mand? The mercnant and mechanic in a good de- gree regu'ate their plans by the answer which is given. There isastruegle ever going on between American and European agriculture, ‘The latter has the advantage of cheap labor, low taxes and the possession of theground upon which the products are to be sold. (nthe other hand, their lands are In our favor we have chean ard fertile land and a wonderful skill in making and using agricultural machinery. Our drawbacks are heavy taxes, high rates of interest, long and costly transportation. One of the best results from gatherings like this 1s that they bring to the notice of the public the inventions of our mecharica, They have become the chief feature of our fairs. it ts in farm machinery that we go beyound all other people in any period of the world’s history, | donot think we are any more wise about fertilizers or tillage than the ancients were. They mace a8 good and in some cases better crops than we de. ‘The best reliance of the Ameri- can farmer is fie skill of the American mechanic. This alone has saved us from national ruin and bankruptcy. ‘ais machinery, in a large degree, took the piace of human toil in the late civil war and fed our armies md kept alive the springs of indus- try and commemme. To the same skill and inventive power we mustiook for help in our struggle for a fomel in Ewopean muarsets for American pro- ue The greatest hindrance in our efforts to get into foreign markets is the cost of transportation and our system of buyirg and selling, Tuese are most hurt- ful in States nore remote from the seaboard, but they are severely felt in the AUantic States. We fre- quently compian of the ligh cost of bread and other articles of food and we feel that the farmers of the West are getting rich at our expense. If we analyze the price of a barrel of flour we find in many cases that the farmers who bought the land and tilled it and fitted the vheat for market gets only about one- half of the sun we pay for the flour made from his grain. betwee the producer and the consumer there is a long list of charges which harm both classes. Now tae miller, the carrier and the merch- ant must all have their just rewards for their labor and enterprises; but if we look closely into all the transfers, comnissions, profits, taxes on sales and the interest accounts, we shall see that we have reason to hopethat some better methods of getting the products of the farmers into the hands of the consumer will be devised by the skiil of our people. ‘This is to-day the greatest need of Amertcan agricul- ture, Ido not suppose the middlemen can be dis- pensed with autirely, but there are too many of them. Beyond the 1eed of improved machinery and the necessity of rdief from the heavy interest and bur- densome taxation there must be something more to give prosperity to agriculture. In some respects the tastes and habits of our people must be changed. No pursuit cao, in the long run, do well unless it ts held in high honor by the public and is cherished with pride and affection by those engaged in it, There is certainly enough of laudation of the farmer's pursuit, but we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that there is a growing dislike for country life in our land’ and an rama desire to crowd into towns and cities. @ “compara- ,tive increase of city and towg population is much greater than that “of the rural districts, This does not krow out of any sound business considerations. We find that men who have galtied moderate fortunes by their sitll and industry as farmers are prone to sell their property and go into neighboring villages. In this State the people seem to have their backs turned to the coun- try and their faces set towards town life. The end of social ambition is to live in the largest cities, and of late this nas been carried so far that the great towns of Europe are swarming with Americans. Many millions of gold are spent each year by absen- tees. The sum thus spent abroad makes a large item in our increasing indebtedness to Europe. ‘To what is thia dislike of country life due? It is not @ natural one. It is not held elsewhere to be a social advancement to lose the position of an owner of land to become a dweiler intown. In Great Bri- tain it is the reverse of this. Men seek to gain for- tunes that they may become the owners of country homes, It adds to their dignity to be landed pro- prietors. ‘The tastes for rural life are there culti- vated and diffused, This has given to its farmers great social ana political consideration. They have there a weight in shaping tne policy of government which they do not have elsewhere, For some rea- son the love of country life scems to be fading out with us. This is attended with great evils. What are the causes of this perverted taste and the hurtful practice? Do they spring from the monotony of country life or from our own want of the right kind of education? It ts certain that in the earlier periods of our history those who had gained fortune or fame were in the habit of making their h in the country. This was true of all the great men of the revolutionary period and of ail the Presidents. ‘The letvers and biographies of Washington, Jeffer- son, Madison and most of our great men show the same love of rural pursuita, ‘The great truth is that all men do not live in the same world; outwardly they do, but when we look into their tastes, their inteliigence and their mode: ight we find that the world around them bears lifferent aspect. The man who allows him- ve in ignorance looks up into the heavens ‘sa waste, studded indeed with glittering stare at nigh’ or lighted up by the midday sun. He f the weather and sees with but jects that have lost their novelty. 1 of education, looking in the same direc- is worlds swinging through the ce. It cannot then ve said that the and the ignorant man look upon the same The beanties of nature, its flowers, its fresh and grven foliage, its varied forms are dimly seen by ail, but it is only those who pultivated their tastes: ‘and those Who have studied the laws of vegetable life who nd feel the fuil beauty of their structure and the endless variety of their forms, their modes of growth or the methods by which they perpetuate their existe I might folldw out this comparison between the condition of the educated aud the igno- and to show how diifereat are the worids in which they live. We can see, then, why country life is dreary to one and fuil of pleasure to another.” We can see why we have not put the farmer upon the highest grounds when we have merely taugnt him the skill of a hus- bandman or the art of making money. ‘These do not meet the demands of nature when our vital powers begin to give way. They do not meet the call for menial interest when time shall have laid its hand upon us and disabled us for physical toil. To lift up agriculture to its best and highest estate, those who follow it must have a measure of taste and of educa- tion which will make them happy upon their farms throngh all periods of their lives. Ir these are wanting, men will abandon the country for the ex- citements of towns. We now see why the great men to whom I alluded sought homes amid the remote scenes of nature. We also see whence springs this hurtfal and anhealthy passion for city life. But it may be said that all men cannot become learned tn the mysteries of nature. Nor are these things neces- sary. The Almighty has been too kind to demand of any one for his happiness that which is beyond his reach, It needs no more knowledge than every man can gain who Will look and think to make rural life full of enjoyments. He who will not do this cheats and wrongs himself. In the order of nature a love of the country is @ natural enjoyment in our declining years. All men should bear in mind that their tastes outlive their intellectual powers, They should therefore cultivate those tastes which can be easily gratified, that are not inconsistent with the weakness of age, Which make no heavy demands upon our powers, or which we hold by an uncertain tenure, The teachings of nature, next to the teach- ings of religion, do most to make men wise and con- tented here and happy hereafter. ‘The practice whic! — among our successful farmers of selling their jands and moving into cities and vill does a double mischief. The double drain of the young and active, as well as the old and wealthy, is hurtfal to the moral tone as well as to the material power of the agricultural interest. It is our duty, then, not only to urge measures which will make farming profitable, but also those which will make country life attractive. It must be lifted up and made an intellectual profession. Our tastes and habits should be made to conform to the condition of our country. Our chief wealth is in our lands. Our growth in greatness depends upon our bringing into use our vast uncuitivated domain. Those tastes and habits which lead our people to turn their backs upon country life are hurtful to our prosperity, The sys- tem of education which fails to give intellectual in- tereat and mental activity to rural pursuits is not well directed, and does not meet the wants and con- ditions of the ree a We must have as a basis of political stability and business prosperity not only agricultural skill and mechanical inventions, but also the diffusion of shat kind of knowledge which will make our farmers and their families honor their pursutts and love the rural scenes amidst which they are carried on. After the meeting Governor Seymour was sere- naded at the Union Hotel by Bernstein's band and called out by his political friends, He thanked them for the compliment, and said they must not expect much after the labors of the day.

Bricklayers’ Association No. 2. The meeting of this association held tast evening at their usual place of assembling, tn Demiit Dis- Pensary, was largely attended, notwithstanding tie unpropitious weather. Mr. Patrick Oakes, in the absence of the preatdent, occupied the chair, After reading and approva! of the minutes of the previous meeting an application was received from the stone masons asking their admission as mem- bers of the Union, Several speeches were made on the proposition, but mostly strenuously opposing granting the application and urging that it was for thetr best interests to remain 4 distinct association; and, while soliciting the sympathy and co-operation of other classes of laborers, to fight mainly their own battles and stand or fall on the result. On & fina’ vote the application was laid on the table. Mr. Frost, President of the National Bricklayers’ Union, addressed the meeting. He congratulated the members of this as of other bricklayers’ a980- clations for the firmness with which they had stood for the eight-hour system of labor. Two years ago he stood up, solitary and alone almost, in Cincinnati, in advocacy of this system. He held the same views to-day and he did not believe he would ever change them, The association must not think him iacking in interest for the craft because they only saw him rarely. He had a good many meetings to at- tend and new associations to organize; as, for instance, one to-morrow evening at Stapleto: Staten Island. In his own opinion most of their members were true to the principles they were advo- cating. Rumors reached him that a great many had gone to work under the old ten hour system, but they were greatly exaggerated. Most of the “‘scab'? bricklayers had been imported from the country. Roases had gone about drumming them up, and by this means were now going on with their jobs, He felt sure that they would come out victorious in the end. All that was needed was to stand firm and un- Mnehing, to yield not one jot or tittle of their rights and to continue the struggle to the victorious end. A motion was made to thank Mr. Frost for his speech. A member wisned, before the vote was taken, to ask if Mr. Frost wrote a letter appearing in some of the papers over his signature declaring that the Eight Hour law was unconstitutiona!. Mr. Frost said he had written no such letter and had not seen it, Another member expressed some doubt on the point, and intimated that Mr. Frost’s efficiency con- sisted mainly in collecting dssessments, when he was called to order with some diMculty and Mr. Fro: A by an almost unanimous vote, thanked for his speech. The above scene, which gave the tncipient promise of being quite exciting, was followed by a scene temporarily very noisy and exciting. A party wait- ing outside were on motion allowed to enter the room. “One of those men is @ stone mason,” cried out several voices. “They are all bricklayera,” cried out others. “Tt is a lie,” shouted a number. It took some time to still the tumultuous crowd, ‘The man in question avowed himself a bricklayer, though lately arrived from the country. Two or three members vouched for him and thus quiet was restored, Mr. Burke, of the Painters’ Association, now made & brief speech. The bricklayers, he insisted, were stronger to-day than they hadever been. The bosses were fighting against laborers organizing to protect themselves, If the posses could defeat the eight hour project they would next go to work to stop their organizations. Their fight was the fight of all the laboring men inthe city. He conjured them to keep a bold front, to keep the flag flying and to fight it out on this line, and in the end the bossea would surrender. He was thanked for his speech. A motion was made that all working eight hours stand; every one in the room rose to his feet with & ae hip, hurrah and a ee ir. Schaffer, of the Clothing Cutters’ Protective Union, made a few remarks. He assured the bric layers that the sympathies of the organization he represented were with them. He hoped they would succeed. As an earnest of their wishes he pre- sented $42, a8 the contribution of the Clothing Cut- ters’ Protective Union. © 2 “ta *Yara.caeT areas Mr. Jessup, President of the Workingmen’s Union, followed in a brief speech. He urged continuance of the strife. They had the sympathy of all the workingmen of the city. The result of the coming trial for conspiracy was anxiously looked for, and the belief was it would be in their favor. He urged a general turnout at the approaching National Congress of laborers. The effect, he thought, would be most beneficial. After some unimportant business the meeting ad- journed for one week. AN EXTRAORDINARY MARITAL CASE. A Glimpse of Jacksoninn Daye—The Widow of General Eaton and Her Terpischorean Husband—His Remarkable Abandonment of His Spouse and Subsequent Adventures. It will not be forgotten by those now living, familiar with the society of Washington during the Presidential term of General Jackson, that Mrs. Eaton, the wife of General Faton, then Secretary of War. was refused recognition by the elie at that period resident there. They will also remember that the inflexible will of Jackson overruled this objection, and in time Mra. Eaton was acknowledged as one of the reigning belles of tnat period. That “truth is stranger than fiction’ is again exemplified in the case of this same Mrs. Faton, who is still living, will be readily admitted after the perusal of the following facts regarding her career subsequent to that time:— At the death of General Eaton his widow was left with such a handsome competency that she com- manded the respect of her former associates in Washington, and retaining her widowed condition until the mn of 1857 she was the admired of an admiring throng. At that time she became enamored with an Italian dancing master, one Antonio Buchignani, who waa then teach- ing the lads and lasses of the capital the art of tripping the light fantastic. He was gay and attractiv , In fine, so ardently did he return the affection that, notwithstanding the disparity of ages, she being sixty-six and he but nineteen years of age, that they were married, Here Mra, Buchignani ex- perienced new troubles in spite of her weaith, for her old friends forsook her and refused to recognize her when on the street with her boy husband, and for one year her parlors were closed and they lived in seclusion. At the end of the year, however. he behaved himself so nicely that her former friends overlooked her shortcomings and once more she was admitted to society, At this time, 1858, through the intercession of United States Senators, Mr. Buchtgnani, after refus- ing several political and military commissions tend- ered him, was made the librarian to Congress, which position he held two years. The seeming felicity with which the lives of this remarkable couple ran along was only imaginative, as Antonio succeeded by in- trigue in obtaining the control of the bulk of his wie'’s property—some $7°,°0 —and one opportune moment he decamped to the sunny soil of Italy with the entire amount, not neglecting to take a female partner, in the person of his wife’ wn grand- daughter, a blooming girl yet in her teens, In the city of Lucea,twenty-five miles from Leghorn, thejab- sconding pairlived in all the princely grandeur which their surreptitiously gained fortune enabled them. But the shadow of a dark cloud even. t) encom- passed their existence and still again it was marked that with “lil gotten gains the pilferer never pros- oil as Antonio lost or expended the bulk of his fortune, and with the little left he fled with his wife to Montreal, Canada, there embarking in a common business enterprise, Forgetting or not fearing his shameful act, An- lo a few days since came to New York, where his wife has living several years, supported son, who is a Custom House official, and she, h of the fact, with the additional information that, his business was to secure the sum of $15,000 she looked about for the means of his arrest and yesterday called upon Justice Ledwith, who issued @ warrant to this effect. Here the once youthful hus- band was brought to grief, as an oMcer found him at a hotel in Chambers street and conveyed him toa station house. It was not long before his aged wife, who had loved ‘well bat not wisely,” confrontea him before the above Justice, and, telling her story, demanded support. Antonio admitted all the charges, but not caring to agree to an allowance of $8 per week for this purpose, he was committed to thecare ofthe Commissioners of Public Charities and Correction, This disposition of the bandbox dandy did not suit him, and late last Me | he was dis- charged, after @ prominent and wealthy lawyer of the city entered into bonds that thig amount should be weekly. tonio has been living with the grand- aes children have been born to them, one of whom is still living. ‘Mrs. Buchignani is an intelligent, well appearing woman, about seventy cian years old, and say with all his faults, she still loves him dearly; did not care for her money, he was welcome to ; but she was ay, ie by his disturbing malty by th the ae of the re ving in open aduitery ‘h one of 3 mem!

On Saturday night he wi ons hi during the earlier acta of “Richard III.,"" on the dropping of the curtain on the second act the manager came forward, announced that the per- formance would not proceed, and entered into ex- planations that led to the inference that insufficient capital was the cause. The uproar was intense, al the gods" with a shout proceeded to take out thetr revenge in tearing up the gallery seats. This de- struction was, however, prevented by the intervea- tion of some of the employés, and after an hour's tn- describable confusion the house was cleared at tem o'clock. It was stated that the actors and actresses brought about the denouement by striking in conse- quence of the non-payment of their salaries. SHOOTING AFFRAY IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. A Slanderous Circular and Its Effects. {Columbus (Sept. 8) correspondence of the Cincim- nati Gazette.) A disgracefu! shooting alfair occurred here or the principals being E. T. Delany, dem tic candi- date for Prosecuting Attorney, and W. F. Penny, cut- ter in Cait's clothing establishment. It appears thwt considerable ill-feeling has e: between the ge for some time, and for several days past De- jany has been etrcnlating a secret circular slandering Penny’s character by charging him with having made improper advances to a certain lady in the city. Delany was charged with the authorship of the circular, which he disclaimed; but he and Penny met this noon. after a few words he made for him with the intention of striking hi vented by a bystander, when he immediately drew from his pocket # pistol, and fired at his antagonist, but owing to the fact that his arm was thrown aside by Sheriff Wilitama the ball made only a slight Neste wound in the side. Delany appeared before Eaquire Meeker soon after, waved an examination, and was bound over to the Court of Common Pleas in the sum of $1,000, He gave bail and was released. The affair has created considerable excitement in politt- cal ch 4, and the feeling against Delany is stronger than ever. He is cenounced in bitter terms even by his political friends.
