8 WATERING PLACES, SAREE SSM OUR LAKES GEORGE AND CHAMPLAIN, Benuty of the Eakes—How to See Them— The Lake George Navy—The Hotels and Toely Visitors—Minnchaha That Makes the Waters Laugh—An Itinerant Historian of Ticonderoga. CALDWELL, Lake George, June 28, 1869, all the lake and mountain scenery within a asonable distance of New York tourists it would cult to find anything superior to these two takes in this northern part of the State. The weather here now is of the most enjoyable summer character, Ouly for the coolness of the water and the shelter of the mountains in the midst of which we are imbedded it would doubtless be very hot, but dt Is just the temperature for rowing and fishing, oth of Which can be had to one’s heart’s content. Looking ont through the trees from the Lake House as I write, the lake shines with the sheen ef molten silver. There is stillness every- where; not even the ripple of a wave to break it, Every ieaf in the mountain foliage reflects back its own smile from the water, No sound over all na- ture bul those heart whispers in which God loves to commune With His most beautiful—the jewels of His creation, There 18 no selfishness in the enjoy- ment of sucha scene as tis, Home thoughts are Nnogering in yonder woods and wishes tnat those dearer than one’s seif could share all the beauty come as naturally to the mind as the beauty itself, But Imust not supply other people with poetry or senti- ment, Let them come here and seek them for them- selves. My duty 1s a practical one. It is to tell them where to eat and sleep in comfort, how to see things as they are and do everything else that 1s hu- nian like human beings, who have sense enough to leave the heated resorts of tne city, and sit down in What Beecher very appropriately called ‘God’s pic- ture galleries.”” There are two first class hotels at Caldwell; the Fort Wiliam Henry, an imposiag structure fronung the iake, Kept by Messrs. Roselle & Son, and the Lake House, looking directly across the lake, kept by Hi. J. Rockwell, and located a few rods from the Jarger louse. In both institutions every desirable accommodation can be had; but perhaps quite as much comfort can be procured at Capt. Harris’ com- modsous boarding house, which stands between the two, embowered in roses and overhanging the lake. The Fort William Henry, so called from its location on the old fortification, contains 1our hundred rooms, and can receive iully egnt hundred guests, Its in- terior arrangements are superb. It is brilliantly jighied with gas made on the premises, and thus uts at might a fine effect from the lake. Adand plays every morning on the grounds and in the even- ang iu the parior. A good biliard room, with six tables, has just béen attached, There are at present stopping there David Banks, senior and jumior, with ther famiies; John Van Northand, Mr. and’ Mrs. Anson Plelps Stokes, Samuel P: B. W. saylor, of New York city BE. Neilson and wife, of ‘¢ number of people from Whilaaelphia, dilinois, Boston and other jocalities, This douse will be crowded for the season, most of the rooms being already engag:d. ‘There is @ goodly company al tue Lake House. I will mention a few of them, Those already arrived to spend the season are:—P.G@. Du Flon and family, Mrs. Lispenard stewart and family, of Fifth avenue; E. A. Brooks and family, and Joho Davidson, of New York; Jéhn ii, bergen and family, of Brooklyn; Rev. George Sheidon, of Princeton, N. J.; k. M. Lewis and family, ss Margareite S. Lewis, and Miss Campbell and mud, of Philadelpiia; Mr. and Mrs. A, Strong, oi Aibany; KR. Lutnell, of Movtreal; Leonard W. Kip and wife, and K. Schuyler fucker and wife, of New York. Those expected at this house are:—Charles A. Daricy and iamily, E, Grant Marsh and family, George Dudley Waring and family, H. Rankin Freeland and faintly, and Henry Delaveld and family, ol New York; C. E, Pratt and family, of Brooklyn; George E. Gitord and family, of Newark, N. J.; J. R. Wukins and family, and George A. Wilt, of Vhiladeiphia; H.M. Finck and party of five, of Brooklyn, Colcnel Walter W. Price, of New York, has pur- chased tue Kobinson place, two miles down we lake, between H. H. Hoydin’s and George H. Cramer's private residences, and intends to put up meXt season a fine residence on it, and has also bought about twenty acres baif s mile down the jake. ‘The beautiful little Minnehaha, which will take you down the jake every morning at eight o'clock, makes the waters laugh, and sparkle too, as her row cuts the mirror-like suriace of ‘‘Horicon.”? This the musical Iroquois name for the lake, and should never have been changed to its modern snobbish title, in honor of the crusty and selfish old individual who cursed the day that its highway was made free by the gallant Ethan Allen and his brave Vermonters, when he swept the English garrison out of Fort Ti- conderoga “by the authority of God and the Conti- nental Congress.’’ The traveller will be shown all tue Interesting points by we aifable commander of the steamer, Captain E. 8. Harris, and his quite as affaple lieutenant, Purser Joimer. These gentlemen represent the navy of Lake George, and they repre- sent it weil, with their good manners, handsome faces and jaunty caps set off so nicely in front with a siiver anchor. They will show you “the Elephant,” @ mountain, which any one with imagination Jarge enough can see at once resembles that huge animal 10 @ recumbent position. ‘They will also pointout “the Whole Hog,” another peak bearing that name, and the “Bosoms,”” two more peaks which, when viewed from a certain point, are cer- taimly suggestive of the nursery, and remind one of te two eminences so well known to traveliers about Killarny lakes as “the Paps.” All these and a thou- sand otuer beauties of inland, mountain and tolet meet the visitor at every tarn—aud there are plenty of turns—tirouga the thirty-six miles of this sinuous and most lovely shect of water. Arriving atthe foot of the lake (the north end of it) stage coaches will convey you to Fort Ticonderoga, on Lake Champlam, a journey of five miles through the splendid scenery which surround’ the ontet of Lake George, and embraces the fine Falls of Ticonde- roga. The rams of the old fort, with its outworks and famous battle ground, where Montcalm whipped Abercrombie, and Aiien surprised the Eng- lisa general, and Fort Deflance, on the hiil top, from which Burgoyne battered down Ticonder re, Of course, all matters of historic interest.

With all the unction of a Yankee he will point out the scene of Abercrombie’s defeat by the och; of Ethan Allen’s “surprise party of foung men,” as he calls it, but he drops the story of jurgoyne’s victory like a hot potato. Ifa Canadian travelier with British prociivities suggests something about Burgoyne’s batteries and the fall of the fort Baldwin’s memory becomes defective and he an- swers with a choice bit of humor. At Ticonderoga there 1s a good hotel, where an ex- cellent country dinuer can be enjoyed while waiting for the Lake Champlain boats between Whitehall Platisburg. Having said a good deal of what is doing and something Of wuat is to be seen at lakes George and Champlain, it is necessary to state how to get here. ‘The Kensselaer and Saratoga Railroad, from the lat- ter piace, or if coming from New York, at the junc- tuon with the Central at Shenectady, leaves you at Fort Edward, where stages take you up and carry you to Caldwell, before mentioned, ‘at the head of the hi passing through the pretty village of Glen's Fails by the way. This ride is through an exceed- ingly rich and beantifal country and takes about three hours. There 1s a new railroad just completed, called the Adirondack, which runs from Saratoga to Tharmaa station, which reduces the siage drive to Caldwell several inites, and will, no doubt, become a very popular youte. Brooklyn, Watering Place Notes. The season at all the watering places on or near the Atlantic seaboard has been somewhat backward because of the comparative mildness of the weather; but the celebration of the Fourth of July has driven many inw their summer retreats, to remain ull the expiration of the heated season, a8 reference to the crowded steamers and cars will show. Orient, at the Eastern extremity of Long Isiand, has ali the advantages of huating and fishing, and is the resort of a select few. Darien, Conn., 1s another of the quiet kind. Mr, ©. T, Reynowds and lady summer there, Large parties are leaving daily for the White Mouniains. A large number of tourists are going westward over the Pacific Railroad to catch the breezes in the Yosemite Valley. Summer visitors flock to Provincetown for fish and game. Jt {s not impossible but what Provincetown will sometime rank with Newport and Saratoga as a watering piace. The Seas.de House, at Rockaway beach, has been opened under favorable auspices. Still and surf bathing, the vest on the atiantic coast, boating, fisi- ing, &¢., are indulged in to @ large extent.

The Stephens & Condit Transportation pany NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY JULY 4, 1869—TRIPLE SHERT, Dave eubstirated this Long Branch, for Coney Island excurstons. The new destination is certainty @ pleasanter and more unexceptionable one than the old, Long Branch ts altogether a more attractive, posto wy respectabie, place of resort than Coney and. It is expected that the annual ball and {éte of the New York Yacht Olub willbe given at the Ocean House, instead of New London, as heretofore. A New York dandy peered into the Cave of the Winds under the Falls recently, and when asked what he thought of it remar! “Oh, it’s very pret- ty, but it’s so deuced wet.” ‘There 18 nothing new in bathing dresses this season. The style consists of gray flannel, bound with bine or scarlet, and they are made in the old style—loose trowsers and yoked blouse, belted in. ‘There are some made of checked flannel, in brighter colors, but they are not considered good style. ‘The price, ready made, 1s $5 50 and $6.

Tue Result of a Domestic DiMiculty—Arvest of the Perpetrator, Coroner Rollins was yesterday called to the prem- ises, No. 151 East Houston street, to take the ante- mortem statement of Adam Gesell, keeper of a lager beer saloon at the above number, who had been dangerously injured. On reaching the place the Coroner fonnd Gesell to be in a delirious condition aud wholly unable to tell in what mauner he had received the injuries from which he was suffering, Mrs. Gesell was questioned in regard to the matter, when it appeared that late on Tuesday night last, while her husband was some- what under the influence of liquor, he com- menced abusing her, ‘The noise made by the arties attracted the attention of Frederick Shlee, Prouner of Mrs. Gesell, who had retired for the might. He immediately arose from lus bed, and being par- tially intoxicated took the part of his sister, which of course led to a quarrel between him and Gesell. ‘They clinched and fell down a flight of stairs toge- ther, and while struggling there in the dark it Is alleged that Shiee drew a sword cane, the blade of which is about ifteen or eighteen inches in length, and stabbed Gesell in the left breast, the steel pene- trating to the deptn of several mches, Mrs. Gesell followed her husband and __ brother down stairs, soon alter which Gesell went up to his room, and from the wound m the breast and injuries to the head he became insensible soon thereafter, in which condition he has since re- mained. Not long after the occurrence Shiee told his sister that he thought he had injured her hus- band, and oiicer McPhail, of the Tenth precinct, be- ing called in, arrested the knight of the sword cane and took him to the station house on a charge of felonious assault. Late yesterday afternoon Gesell was breathing heavily and seemed to be failing rapidly. Dr. John Beach made @_ partial examination of Gesell and found he had been stabbed —_ between the third and fourth ribs, about an inch to the left of the median line, the steel probably piercing the pericardium, Iu the opinion of Dr. Beach the sufferer cannot long survive, Shiee ts still in prison awaiting the result of his act. The sword cane with which the crime ‘was committed is m the hands of the police. It 13 said the accused brought the cane from Germany. Shiee 1s thirty-one years of age and a clerk by occu- pation, Soon atter his arrest he was wholiy uncon- cerned about what had taken place, and from ap- pearances seemed to think himself justified in the use of the deadly weapon. Gesell, who is twenty-seven years of age and a na- tive of Germany, is represented as having been a quiet, industrious and amiable man. MIASMA IN THE STREETS. Dangers of Pestilence. In Thursday’s HERALD attention was called to the filthy condition of many of our strects in the eastern portion of the city, and the possibility of a pesti lence coming upon us during the approaching hot season, from the grossly neglected sanitary condi tion of our thoroughfares. If any member of the Board of Health doubts the statements in relation to the material agencies already at work in our midst, let him visit East Fifty-sixth street, near Lexington avenue, or indeed almost any section of the eastern up town districts, Taking the locality above indicated as an example, he will find in the space of a few rods a startling demonstration of the dangers we are incurring. ‘The street at that point is reeKing with filth, Horses and vehicles founder tnrough black, offensive mud; heaps of offal, rags, old paper, and decaying vegetable matter are added to the illegal obstruction of the street, with svat- tered lumber, curbstones, empty barreis, &c., and the gutters are full of a disgusting compound of surface water and the slops of kitchens and chambers. green scum, worse than that of a trog pond, covers these cesspools of rottennesss and disease, and a disagreeable odor pervades the whole vicinity. Nine elegant brown stone fronts stand vacant along the space of a single square, and unless our sanitary offi- cers direct their attention to the street, the other houses must be soon evacuated by their occupants if they desire to escape sickness. Although there are sewers at each corner there 13 no drainage for the gutters in consequence of their obstructed con- ition. i This spot is but a sample of a score of pestholes in that section. Excavated vacant lots, with povis of stagnant water and green scum, are the receptacles: of ali Kinds of offal and are shockingly offensive to sight and smeil. ie responsibility for this state of affairs, and the disease which must inevitably result from it rests entirely upon the Board of Health. ‘A TENNESSEE HOMICIDE. . [From the Nashviile Banner, June 26.) About haif-past four o’clock Sunday afternoon ihe little town of Mason was thrown into considerable excitement by @ wilful and deliberate murder, com- mitted in the = square of that town. It seems that one Wiiltam Winters got into a dispute with a one-armed saloon keeper, known as P, Madden, which resulted in a short encounter, in which Madden was cut under the eye and Winters somewhat bruised. Shortly after Madden armed himself with @ pistol and set out in search of Win- ters, a8 was supposed. He first went over to whe depot, where he was remonstratnd with by two or three citizens and told to put up his pistol. He re- Plied that it was none of their business. They tried py Leo whereabouts, but unfo! m appearance on the porch, next door to the saloon, seat the edge. Madd front of him ana biows with his pistol on the top of his head, fracturing his skull. Winters {eil over and expired ina immediately seat for, take the murderer in charge. ‘The nearest magis- trate was then summoned, a jury of inquest held, and @ verdict returned in accordance with the fore- going. facta. An additional guard was then ordered; ut owing to some misunderstanding as to the time of going on duty the murderer escaped. He was a terrible desperado and a terror to the citizens. He exhibited the utmost unconcern in presence of the man whom he had but a few momenis previvus sent to ap untimely end. THE VERMONT STATB PRISON.—A correspondent of the Springfield Repudiican turnishes that journal with the foilowing facts in relation to the inmates ot our State Prison:—There are eighty-eight prisoners confined here at present, eighty-five men and three women. Among the men is Horace Plumiey, who killed John Gilman, Jr., of Shrewsbury, and will be hung upon the last ying! of September, 1870. Ziba Plumiley, his fatuer, and Frederick Plumicy, charged with the same oftence, are also here, the first serv ing @ sentence for life and the latter a twenty years’ term. Horace was visited by a friend and cried bit- terly as he spoke of his execution. He said he would be periectly happy if his sentence was com- — to imprisonment for life at hard work. He spefids much of his time weeping, and will not pro- bably live long If he continues in this state, In this prison are likewise Henry Welcome, another con- victed tnurderer, Who has not yet been sentenced, and O.

Wealth and Aristocrncy—Toilet of the Prin- cess of Wales—A Dog Show—The Royal Botanic Seciety—An Aristocratic Gather- img—Princess Mary, of Cambridge—English Toilet—Mrs. Motley’s VisiteReturn of the Queen to Windsor oxox, June 11, 1860. “London Fashions !” the readers of the HERALD exclaim in surprise, ‘Paris Fashions” we can un- derstand, for have we not an exhaustive and most agreeable review of them every week in the columns of the great journal of America, and do not mod'stes and millionnaires study that review with equal inter- est and profit? But’ London Fashions are a thing unheard of, and we should like to know what the most ingenious writer can make out of a set of dowdy English women as a contribution to the cause of elegance and beauty, Yet wealth and aristocracy, it must be remembered, hold high court in England, and it would be strange uw some of the far daughters of Britain did not display discrimination and taste in the selection of toilets, despite the lamentable and obstinate frumpishness of “the first lady in the land.” One thing that may assuredly be justly said in favor of the English iadies is that they seldom overdress, and that while the vulgar flarishness in which American shoddyism delights is common enough in every mixed gathering here, the reai artist of aristocracy can be readily distinguished by unobvtrusiveness in dress, however rich may be the materials In which it is arrayed, Thus, even at the famous Isiington Dog Show, last week, where bulldogs, pugs, terriers, spaniels, hounds, mastiffs and curs, of high and low degree, were gathered and gazed at by all classes of society, Guelpis and ghouls, princes and pickpockets, duchessea and demireps in true British style, the amiable put fading wife of the nelr apparent to the British crown, appeared mm a simple but handsome Waiking suit of purple merino, the skirt just reach- ing the ground, trimmed with silk founces of the same color, and a purple crape bonnet with black suk flowers, In walking through the show the Princess leaned on the arm of her brother, the crown Prince of Den- mark, and evidently endeavored to hide as much as possible the limp which her recent iliness has left behind, and which makes her appear shorter than she is. The people regret to see the Princess of Wales looking so worn out and faded, aithough her face is still as sweet in ¢xpression as it ever was, for she is a very decided favorite with the masses as much from the evident gentleness and amlability of her disposition as irom a certain latent suspicion, just or unjust it macters not, that her wedded life has not been altogetuer a path of roses, Her husband walked alone, looklag a3 robust and hearty as a healthy Dutchman, It would be in- correct to say that the Prince of Wales is unpopular, for a sort of popularity must always atiach toa prince who is tolerably certain of being one day the occupant of the throne; but it is undugstignably true that in the progress of the world, when meu begin to gain intelligence aud have opportunities of viewing and critictsing the daily life of those who are set over them as rulers, they begia to wonder at the sort of stuff royalty 1s made of. Thus, the bowing that greets the Prince of Wales is not unfrequently followed by a shrug of the shoulders after he has passed by; the cheers he hears are often succeeded by ® half con- cealed sneer, which he does not see, and tt is by no means difcult to perceive that the homage to the Prince 1s but lip-service, while that to the poor Prin- cess comes froin the heart. The Crown Prince of Denmark 1s moderately tall and shm, dark brown hair, and moustache nicely trimmed, with fine fea- tures and a distngue air. Hes decidedly the most aristocratic looking member of the royal circle at the present moment. it may please your New York ex- quisites to Kuow that boih princes, upon the occa- sion referred to, as they do indeed upon all.out-door occasions, wore the inevitable flower in the button hole, which nows forms, as much as the hat, a por- aon of the Engiish male ature. From bulldogs to botany. Yesterday afternoon, in Tesponse to invitations issued by the Prince of Teck, the nobility and gentry of England gathered at the Royal Botanic Society’s grounds, in the Regents Park, there to see and tw ve seen. What occasion there was for the Prince to issue lus polite cards, and what there was to call together a really vast crowd, besides the satisiaction of gazing and bemg gazed at, it is dificult to understand. ‘fuere was no prize show of flowers—no special display of any kind, , if we except ab open tent and a regimental band in Scarlet dresses—and yet many thousands of persons visited the grounds, embracing scores of dukes, earis, viscounts and mwarquises respectively, with tueir noble better halves and daughvers. Princess Mary of Cambridge, wife of the Prince of ‘Teck, was, of course, the observed of all observers, not that her dress was in any Way noticeable among the many rich costumes by which the grounds were covered, for she Was ar- rayed in a Laudsume, bat plain black silk suit, with lace and fringe Wimmuings, and a becoming black lace bonnet, with purple jowers. But hor face is in Mself @ mine Of attractiveness, She has the best type ofan English countenance, with good humor peeping out of her eyes, nestting ia her aimples and carling about the corners of her 1ull and pretty lips, with contentment written upon her piump, rosy cheeks, and wita amiability, sympathy ana warm- bearteduess beaming all over her countenance, In tue Very prime and vigor of life—she is thirty-six years of age—the Princess Mary strikes you ai once as being a true wile, an excellent mother, and @ genuine Woman, So home-like and captivatiug Is her appearance that you feel inclined to regret Ler rank; Ble Seems somewhat out of place 1m the usually frigid and rigid atmosph of royalty. Not that she 1s unworthy or belng royat; for there 1s a quiet home happy, to shine like a blessed light on some peaceful, domestic hearth, that one cannot for- bear @ Wish that she was plain Mrs. Mary Teck, if only for the exquisite pieasare of mecting her at her own fireside with a group of loving children playing around her. As uu American would say, sle’s human ! The afternoon was by no means a promising one for an ouidoor entertainment, for the moruing was bieak and raw, und clouds seemed threaten rain ail day long. Nevertueless cue crowd of Tlages Was something onishing, extending fully half miie on each of three roads leading to the gate: aud packed three abreast, Of course it Was soon Tound to be a hopeless task for those who were not early on the spot to endeavor to drive vo the grounas, the carriages of those who had reached the inside remaining drawn up near the enirance; conse- quently te sensible portion of the visitors left their vehicles and “footed it? to the saow. ‘ihis, however, was no labor of love, for pesides the large crowd of idle lookers-on to be found on all such occasions the footmen themselves formed a little army 12 frout of the gates, which had the ap- ‘ance of being garnished with silver lace, crested buttons and cockades, Hesides, when leaving, ‘no person Knew where to iind is carriage, and the roads were alive with bewildered footmen, irritated Ppapus, bullying brothers and oothered beaux, vodg- jug in’ and out among the horses and shouting them- selves hoarse in the irautic eifort to diseover their own establishments. In the grounds the crush Was quite equal to that outside; ihe paths were full, the couservaiories crowded aud tue grass covered with campstoois and dowagers. As a matter of course the company was wih mixed, and the peers and peeresses hustied their tanors and tallow Chandlers tn the throng. ‘This, no doubt, accoanted for the fact uiat Prinve Teck and nis wife were fol. lowed about everywhere by @ vulgar, prying, pusi- ing crowd of m nd femaies, and treated to loud remarks upon U their hair and eyes, their ar ance, In like manner the and his son, with the Eastern ed beyond measure by this [il- eyism, 80 Common In London, and remained @ very short time in the grounds In consequence.

Paris, Jane 18, 1869, i 3 It has been justly observed that the works of exhibited this year show more taste and taleht than genius, This criticism can truthfully be applied to oil paintings, but a more satisfactory verdict can be pronounced on statuary.

Artists begin to question the necessity of carving the nude exclusively, and the following consudarations Suggest themselves to me on this topic sexIt is ob- jected to critics who write against total absence of drapery on carved figures that statuary is nothing but the art of conveying ideal outline and perfection of form to marble, earth or plaster, and that even were these forms but slightly clad our modern style of dress 18 80 subject to Change that what pleases the men of one period would become absurd a few years laicr, There 18 much truth in this, and it comes home to us ff we do but one mstant remem- ber how truly ridiculous appear to us some of the co; es held up as patterns of grace at about the commencement of tus century; but there 1s a middie course, MM it is admitved that the historical style of atiire favored, for instance, under Francis I, would present angular folds and terrbly picturesque slashes, dark and sharp shadow and other non-scholastic effects, it must also be granted that veils, mantiefolds, partial undress and fittung material for drapery belung to every age, without precise tailoring.

Like the weather, the canvass is terribly hot—al- ‘Most fever heat—as can be seen from the frequent riotous demonstrations and disturbances that have already marked its progress. Both races (for it would be foolish to say parties) are worked up to the highest pitch of political excitement, and the blacks, who are for the first time about to exercise the fran- chise In a contest for the Governorship, seem to be carried beyond all the bounds of moderaiton or discretion, This must be attributed to their leaders, whose course in the campaign is to be exceedingly deplored. Men in their eager anxiety and thirst for office do not hesitate to instal into the minds of this ignorant race the most incen- diary doctrines. They are frequently told they must govern the whites, make laws for them, and, having been for over two hundred years the laboring class of the country, it is nothing but right and proper that they shoulda now become its rulers, if not its possessors. Threats of a deprivation of all their political rights, the vassalage of their children ana @ consignment to an ignomimious condition, far worse than slavery, should they be defeated in the coming election, are made to them constantly by men who, without any real sympathy or feeling for the negro, have only their own personal advance- ment in view. Such teaching as this Is full of dan- ger, and the evidences of it are already to be seen in violence and disorder, A political meeting of negroes now in Virginia, with the class of speakers in the habit of harangu- ing them, is like an inflammable mass—a very maga- zine that only requires a spark to cause the most disastrous consequences. Yesterday evening, after Mr. Van Wyck had deparied for Petersburg, the crowd of negroes assembled on the square to hear him were then addressea by other, but less discreet orators, both black and white. During the delivery of one of these harangues an intoxteated white man, a radical, though the latter fact was unk to the throng of negroes by whom he rounded, propounded some question to the speaker. The negroes, immediately mistaking him = for an Intrudimg conservative, at once fell upon him and beat him m a most shocking manner, Luckily for the unfortunate man, whose crime was that of having a while skin, two policemen sprang into the inidst of the mob, and, at the risk of their lives, rescued him from certain death, ‘This 1s but one instance, following the mur- der of Kelly, the conservative challenger, already reported fully in the fiERALD, wich Will serve to show the state of fecling and excitement among the negroes, The same evening a terrible riot was only averted at Petersburg by almost Providential circumsiances, details of which have also appeared in the HERALD. Me Van EY) seu ping, tour seems to be inauspi- clous. There is ho doubt that the whites, few in number, interrupted the meeting at Petersburg, which was a radical one, wuder the impféssion that one of their speakers was to reply to the New York Congressman, who had spoken, Their cries effectually drowned the voice of a second radical orator, Who had commenced an address, and this so incensed the frenzied blacks that they at once marshalled thei¢ forces for an onsiaught on the offending whites, it i neediess to repeat here what is already so well known, the wiutes were driven from the ground, many of them injured, and the hegroes behaved in a most violent and riotous man- ner. All tnis will serve to show the animus of the blacks, and judging froin these demonstrations there is every likelihood that the election will not j ever without serious riot and bloodshed. Gener Oanby has, however, made ample provisions lor the preservation of peace and good order by the pres- eace of armed forces at the poils, aud so judwiously has he arranged them that only 400 persons can vote at one precinct, which will prevent the assemblaye of a large crowd at any one place, This may possibly result in a peaceful election. ‘The serenade to Colonel Walker, at the Exchange Hotei, last night, was one of the best ovations ever accorded @ public man in Richmond; and taking this ag a criterion of the feeling throughout ce State, the people are certamly aitve to the import- ance of the contest.

(Loud and prolonged cheering:) “The ele tion is already won, the vote is recorded, and noth- ing short of iraud could prevent the success of the conservative republican ticket.” With afew more remarks in this strain the speaker closed, urging that extreme fatigue alone prevented him trom ad- dressing them at length.

There was scarcely a negro to be seen during the entire meeting. the whole affair being ex- tremely distasteful to tiem. The accounts still received of the registration con- tinue to be the most flattering to the Walkerites. In almost every section there appears to be a heavy falling off of the negroes. An official statement shows that in one magisterial district alone, in Chesterfleid county, twenty-three negroes have died and seventy-six have goue out of it without obtain- the proper certificates of registration required by General Canby's order besore they can regisuer where else without perjaring themselves. Every county but two between the tide water and the Blie Ridge shows large white gains aud a large biack decrease, From the section beyond the Biue Ridga, extending up to Harper’s Ferry, mciuding the upper Shenandoah valley, the same reports are received, and in numbers of these places the muence of tue leagues has been destroyed, South of the James river there are aiso Wiute gains, though not so larg? as north of it.
