a | _— $ne possibility that this elevation of one point paused extensive depression immediately sur- founding it, or if the discharge could produce } Vacuum there would be still moré reason for Repression. This depression in its turn would have another effect felt outside of its line, and most at points of great resistance. It would cause a movement of the whole crust, and throwing the molten matter beneath the crust Into a wave this would sweep outward, as the depression would be greater near the eruption, and elevate the space beyond. Coming against such a vast line in the sur- face as the Andes the movement would be ar- rested there, but only with terrific percussion. At the other side, meeting no such line, the force would waste itself under the waters of the Pacific. A Touch of Mexico in Texas. The Southern elements of disorder, violence and crime fermenting and from day to day breaking out in bloody collisions and myste- rious assassinations in Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana are bad enough, but if half that is said of the anarchy prevailing in Texas be true there is nothing to match it this side of Mexico. That unfortunate unreconstructed State of Texas, it appears, is to a great extent overrun by hordes of robbers, rendering the roads entirely unsafe except for considerable armed bodies. One brigand chief is reported to be at the head of one hundred and fifty men (Ku Kins), well mounted and armed, and it is further reported that this band on the Ist instant captured a train of forty government wagons laden with supplies, and that the wagons were burned and the drivers (negroes) murdered by the Ku Klux banditti. Whatever may be the truth touching this matter, it is very certain that our Presidential politics underlie all these Southern disturbances, Nor ig there much of a prospect that these scenes of violence and blood will be diminished wuiil after the Presidential election; but then, with | the announcement of Grant as the people's choice for the succession, there is reason to hope that all these Southern disturbers of | the peace will very suddenly simmer down. Cuua—A Hint’ ro Mr. Sewarp.—It is re- ported that revolutionary symptoms have broken out in ‘“‘the ever faithful island” of Cuba. If they have not as yet they will al- most certainly be made manifest before long with the infusion into the island of the con- tagion from the mother country. this contingency there may be within a month or two, or a week or two, a fine opportunity for Mr. Seward to secure that valuable piece of property, this aforesaid ‘ever faithful island,” at much less than cost. Queen Isa- bella is short of funds and in great danger, and so even now she may be inclined to sell out all her right, title and interest in Cuba and | Porto Rico very cheap for cash. Borer Hepeive.—The redoubtable Dutch Gap General and present leader of the radi- cals, Ben Butler, was famous during the war for ditching, and he seems equally skilful now et hedging. Seeing his financial views did not suit the Massachusetts bondholders of his Aistrict and endangered his seat in Congress he has changed his tactics. We shall hear little more from him, at. least until his election is secure, on the greenback qnestion. Even the bondholders’ radical organ of this city smiles upon the hopeful change in the Gen- eral. No man knows better how to trim his sails to catch the breeze of popular favor than Genera! Butler. Greetzy PrrpLexep—By Delmar's stan- ning figures on the Treasury receipts and expenses; but what says McCulloch? We only want thefigures of McCulloch to wind up the argument or to make the confusion worse con- founded. Let us have the figures of McCul- loch. If they can serve no other purpose they will enable Jay Cooke to give us another manifesto on the blessings of the national debt. Tax Czar ann Kino Witt1am.—On Sun- day, the 27th instant, the Czar of Russia made a special visit to King William of Prussia. What does it mean? Does it imply an agree- ment to head off Napoleon in the event of his assuming the right to interfere in Spain? It certainly does not imply that in the North of Europe Napoleon has warm friends.

A question is here presented for the Commis- stoners of Police to discuss:—Do the streets, side- walks and gutters belong to hucksters in old iron and pediers in hardshell clams and Little Neck oysters or to the public? Formerly, for example, there was one oyster establistinent on the curb and gutter and now there are two in full biast and a: third in course of erection near the Williams- | ‘burg ferry landing, at the foot of Grand street. By what authority are these permitted to obstruct the public thoroughfares and their owners compete with those who are honest enough to pay large rents to property owners for the privilege of Occupying their premises?

He came over in the Cuba steamship, of the Ounard line, The Cuba was telegraphed in the early morning of yesterday from the east offing, and at eleven’ o’cfock in the forenoon from Sandy Hook. The mail boat met her at Qua- rantine a little after noon. She reached the Cunard dock in Jersey City not long after one o'clock. It will thus be seen that General McClellan, Who was expected by this arrival, gave ample opportunity to hig friends to make preparations for his reception. But it was understood as his express wish that his landing should be conducted in privacy and without any demonstration whatever. Nevertheless, the enthusiastic legion of his admirera in New York city Was resolved to show him some outward mant- festation of their regard. Before noon one of the old fire companies of New York, preceded by a band, niarched down Broadway and crossed over the Cortiandt street ferry to await his arrival. The news dew ike wild fire through Jer- sey City that McClellan waa in the neighbor- hood, and thereupon there was # rush made to the vicinity of the Cunard dock. The huge lattice gateway t bars the entrance to this Custom House pasture was besleged by aome very eager citizens. The heavy blocks of lumber, covered with coal dust, lying loosely around in the same locality, were laid under contribation as points of vantage, and every projection on the old tumble down piers for several hundred yards at either side was ocenpied by a curious multitude. AU this was done in little more than a twinkling. There was no excitement; but a quiet, deep desire to get a look at the returned fea- tures of a well known and varlously admired man. When the Cuba touched the dock the revenue ran Balongside in the outer water, «a deputation of promiaent men, consisting August Belmont, Mr. Barlow, Mr. Marcy, in-law of General McClellan, Surveyor Wake- man ani three of his deputies, Messrs.

A solemn aynod of the Roman Catholic clergy of the diocese of New York was held yesterday in St. Patrick's Cathedral under the presidency of Arch- bishop MeCioskey, for the purpose of formally pro- mulgatlig the decrees of the Council heid in Balti- more in 1366. The decrees have been submitted to the Pope and have, for the most part, received his approval. Their efect will be to render more perfect the discipline of the Churcu in tue New York dio- cose. y ‘This form of council dates back to the daya of pa- gan Pome, for we fod historical mention of at ieast thirty-six synods having been held before the con- version of Constantine. Yesterday's grand and im- posing spectacl ‘ad substantially but @ repetition of what was done tn tue Catholic Church when the lives and doings of the apostles and their immediate successors were still fresh in the minds of the faithful. The procession formed at ten minutes past nine A. M. Two hundred and forty priests, clad tn cagsock and surplice, preceded the Archbishop, who wore the most costly vest ments. The mitre used on this occasion was richly ornamented with rubies and diamonds, which re- atonce the sickly light of the candles that in the sanctuary and the cheerful rays of the morning sun. The priests having ranged themselves on either side of the high altar in the order of dig- nity and seniority, the Archbishop stood at the centre of the lowest step of the altar and intoned the antiphon, “£zaudt nos Domine!” (Hear ua, O Lord!) The sixty-cighth Psalm, in which ail joined was next sung. On the termination of this psalim all the priests knelt in profound silence, while the Arch- bishop ot up & most feeling and appropriate rayet to the Holy Goat imploring the divine spirit enlighten the minds of those assembled in His bame and to be thelr constant guide and protector in all their deliberations. After the Gospel, from the ninth chapter of St. Luke, had been sung by the deacon the Archbishop addressed the Council as follows :~Venerabie brethren, having besought the Divine Spirit to pre- pver our deliberations, itis eminently proper that our debates should be conducted in a chart i and courteous manner. Many subjects which seriously affect faith and morals will ae our at- tentions. The decrees of the Council of Itimore, as they have been approved by the Holy See, will, by their promulgation in this Synod, become statute lawa of the diocese of New York, and I solemnly charge every one of you to observe them in the il and in the spirit. In our deliberations the su tions and opinions of each will be respected, and under the guidance of the Holy Ghost, recetve the attention they really merit. The archbishop then read the decrees of the Coun- cil of Trent concerning the residence of bishops and pastors, and the assembied divines took the oath professing the Catholic faith. A draft of the new rules and regulations for the diocese was then read, and the Rev. her Quinn, of St. Peter's church, Barclay inted to take notes of any objections which might be pi The Council adjourned for refreshments at {« minutes past one o'clock P.

McKee Rankin’s clever acting in the comedietta “Day After the Wedding” was another srene attraction. Both of these peagenen, are suficient to fill this handsome little theatre, which, we are glad to find, has aban- doned its variety and minstrel business and may now be ranked among the regular theatres, Miss Lucy Egerton, Miss Lizzie Wilmore and Miss Alice Dunning also appear to be favorites here.

The late King Wiluam of Wurteaverg not oniy granted his Swabian subjects, as times sien wont— for this was in the days of the Holy Alliance and fully half a century ago—an exceedingly ttberal ¢on- stitution, under which all who lived on either side of the mountains fattened and dourished mightlly, and, imitating the manner of their jovial old lord, smoked thetr pipes and drank good wine and bet ale; but that there mignt be fun, love-making, beer: drinking and dancing forever, he established in 1818 the Voikatest (People’s Feast) throughout the | length and breadth of his somewhat ctroumseribed Kingdom, which feast was to commence invariably on the 2xth of September and continue through that and the two succeeding days. In fact, the Fest ia a series of feasts. The frat day is for the re- union of friends, the second for the com- memoration of iistorical events, when Wr temburg was first a countdom, thea a dukedom, and fast era of all, under the magic touch of the first Napoleon, @ kingdom, and the third was set apart for what in Engianud is calied tho © Harvest Home,” for the worship of the goddess Cereus by bringing before delizted thousands the pomological and vegetabie productions of the kindly and frubiful earth in the fall of the leaf, Since 1818 has this People's Festival flourished tn Wartemberg, and what could be done there Mosars, a. Hi, Wiegle, president; Julius Buttozhardt, vice presuient, aud Schimittbear, secretary of the Schwob Society in this criy, thought could be repeated here, with an original idea or two to boot, to make it sult our Dalch-Yankée lasie. Accordingly, In 1863 the first Volkafest was given in New York. It took so weil that it has been given on the 28th, 20h and doth A September in each year since, and always with increasing fervor with the Wurtembergers, who, from the seventeen thousand specimens we saw yes- terday, will ‘pass very well in a crowd” for respect ably behaved, well dressed men and women—of the latter not a few could say they were pretty. The ground seiected for the festival is Landmann's Park, wud the programme of yesterday included much eating, much swoking, lager all around several times,a grand procession and any quantity of waltcingjwhea ed angers was through with, A feature, and which will be particulariy the point of attraction for the closing proceedings to-day, is a pedestal and coluran composed exclusively of frutca ‘and vegetables, which are set up in the centre of the open space, between the Segond and Third avenues ‘As this column ia decidediy unique, a description of itis necessary. The shaft, measured from the pe- destal, ts about twenty feet in height, on which laced a ital of no partt r order of architec- ire, unless it be that of the “cabbage.” The stag- ing and the peaestal are about five feet, making with the column an altitude of about twenty-five to twenty- eight feet. At the foot of the pedestal are pi in profusion the various fruits and vegetables of the Season, and the sides thereof are adorned with the vine and innumerable bunches of luscious grapes, while on the corners of the platform and equidistan' from the base of the pillar are set up, adorned with ribbons, sheaves of barley, wheat, oats, &c. The pil- lar itself is attractive. it is about four feet in cir- cumference, and is entirely covered with vegetables and fruit placed in regular order, 0 that at the dis- tance of @ few feet it has a charming effect on the eye. The capital is entirely composed of vegetables, the most conspicuous of which are the cabbage, red and white, the ple plant, Indian corn on the cob, the gourd, the squash and the pumpkin, The getting up of thus column and its appurtenances shows in the constructor great artistic taste, with a good idea of general effect. The procession yesterday, which was supposed to represent the costumes of prince and peasant some four hundred years ago, had a littie touch of the ro- mantic in it, Which doubties touched the hearts of “our fellow citizens of Swabian descent.” The story is as follows:—A certain Dake Uhiric, who reigned over the Schwabs when Wurtemberg was a duchy and accountabie for tts manicipal conduct to the Emperor of Germany, by some means earned the displeasure of that potentate, and was qonseane tly Invited to “vamose the ranch,” which he did to the eat grief of “every man in the country.” fn due course of time the duke was per- mitted to return to his throne and his wine, hia lusty, quarreisome barons and pork-eating and beer drinking subjects; and that ail might be en re gle he made his solemn entry into Connstadt (the Park) Fapnnnne | and bays hon j- GM? costuine, “got up at great expense,” by just fifty very pretty girls, attired in book ana ‘manufactured the other day and cut with gored skirts.

An Impeachment Case—The Indian War—Ka- mor of Truce in Paraguay. VALPARAISO, Sept. 1, 1868. The impeachment of the Supreme Court by Mr. Sintuentes appears to have tts origin in the fact thas this gentleman lost @ cause before that tribunal, and, being extremely dissatisfed with the result of his lawsuit, takes advantage of his Senatorial position to declaim againat the judiciary. The mater will not prove at all important. Several p -asures have been introduced for the purpose of factlitating the navigation of our rivers, and no doubt will greauy aid the progress of the country if passed.

The news from Paraguay 1s Roabredlctary. it seeins almost certain that Lopez was betrayed, and that Humaité fell, but the Paraguayans appear to be still bravely holding out, as the Ministers of Chile aad Bolivia have, after some difiiculty, obtained their consent and that of the allies to the arrango- ment of a truce, and we learn that the Secretary of the Chilean Legation had lett for Assuncion to com- municate to the Paraguayan government the bases: of the treaty, The whereabouts of Lopez caauot be discovered.

The only political news of consequence is the movement of Congress against the Supreme Court— @ movement which haa taken every one by surprise, and which may, contrary to the opinion expressed in my last letter, result very seriously. By an over- wheiming vote the Chamber of Deputies haa passed the bill arraigning the Supreme bench, and a com- inittee has been appointed to report upon the mat ter. The secret of the movement i8 a hostility to Don Manue! Monte, who, while occupying the Prest- dential chair several yeura since, committed several alleged iniractions of the constitution and is made the scapegoat, now that his party is not im tho high and powerful placos, The Chamber have exonerated quite a number of tho members of the Court, out the object is purely partisan and aceks co punish the offender for faults which, even if worthy of consideration, would be excuadd on the grounds of exceptional cur- cumstances, From Paraguay wo learn that the fall of Humaité is contirmed; but it is rumored that the allied troops occupying the fortress were almost annihilated by the expiosion of a mine, and that the defenders, far from losing by the evacuation, had assumed a post- tion much more formidaole, artificially and naturally. it is probable that the Argentine Rebar wil accept the offer of mediation made by Chile and Bolivia, but Brazil, byileving that her prey t# almost in her hands, will be loath to consent lo any peaceful measure. ‘The United States steamer Dacotah is tn port un- dergoing repairs.
