Han-now, May 22, 1869. ‘The Grand Canal, called in Chinese Yun-ho (Transit fiver), auother of the great works of Olina, 19 650 mules iong trom ‘furitsia, in the pro- vince of Chibi, to Han-kow, in the province of Che-Kiang, and varies in width, according to loca- Sion, from one to two hundred feet, and in depth Srom twelve to twenty-five feet. Its construction Qvas commenced in the seventh century, and Snished in the fourteenth, It passes for the most part Through a rich alluvial country, and communi- ates by the Yellow Yangtsz-ti and smaller rivers, fs well as innumerable branching canals, with nearly all China. Our journey was a tedious one of ten days, but we had an opportunity of seeing life ta interior China as wo passed villages constantly and many large Cities, at some of which we stopped for some hours, The Chinese showed great curiosity regarding us, particularly the lady portion of our company. They foliowed us in large numbers, commenting on what ‘Was to them our strange appearance. But we were everywhere treated with the greatest courtesy, and in several instances had visits from tie local digui- taries, who oocasionally sent us presents of fowls, tea, eggs, fruit and other matters, In many places the canal is higher then the surrounding country, and its banks are then lined with cut stone, backed by a levee sometimes 100 feet wide. Locks are ire. quent, and are well constructed, with stone piers, Chin-kiang was formerly a olty of great impor- tance, Itisct the junction of the Yangisz-ti river nd Grand Canal, 150 miles above Shanghae. It was ®acked by the British in 1841 and again by the Tae ping rebels a few years ago, but it 1s now rising from Its ashes and beginning to be rebuilt in excellent Btyle. Ina few days we proceeded by an American steamer up to Nankin, the ancient capital of China, forty-two miles distant. Nankin 1s surrounded by a solid wall twenty-five miles long, but its former magniticence and wealth, 8 described by Marco Polo and.ov her travellers, has fovar ved and the city itself is but a shrunken piguny i the midst of ruins anda wall surrounded waste, ¥ was the capital of China in the time of the Ming yuasty, that culmimating period of Celestial glory (from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century), has asscd through many vicissitudes since and early received its coup de grace when retaken from the Taep.ngs in 1662, It 1s the seat of the vice- foyalty of three provinces, and the present viceroy, Li, being apprised 01 our coming, seut two hand: Bome boats, which conveyed us Irom the steamer, caused a salute to be fired in our honor by some batleries under the supervision of Hurepean omcers ‘on the hilis to the west, and provided us with sedan chairs, which took us to quarters he nad prepared for us In a Buddhist convent. On the following day Wwe accepied wn mvitation to dine with him, and were received at the palace with a salute or three ene while a Chinese band, which resembled in jognd the playing of a nwaber of bagpipes, played AS.we passed ihe gates, Li, usually cailed La jutar (Governor General, received us with all courtesy at the vestibule aud conducted us to the dining hail, Dinner was elegantly served in the European style, and consisted of twenty-eight courses, Wili a prous.on oi wines. Li, who Sat at the head of the table, wus all courtesy, but touched nothing except the wines, which he occasionally sipped, but invariably spat out again, remarking with a wry Tace that they were “sour.” Toward the ciose of the dinner one of the servants brought him a mess of Something resembling meat stewed in sigar, which, ‘with the uid of chop sticks, he swallowed im @& man- her that showed Le was hungry. On the uext day We witnessed u review of the troops, wlio behaved very creditably, had a maguifivent view of tne city, the ruins, the wali and the surroundig country from the iop.of a seven storied pagoda, situated on @ high bil within tue walls; visited tue ruims of tie celebrated porcelain pagoda (which was de- siroyed by the Taepmgs), ana got some reen tiles thereirom, and atvended in the Vening & silg-song, or Chinese play-acting, dancing and singing party got up for our amuse ment.

We also visited the wonderin Ming tolmbs Wiuch areto tie east about four mies frou the walis, No remawms ol ancient grandeur in the World can exceed them. The approach is by a broad payed causeway, two miles iong, and lined on each side by gigantic Lgures of elephants, horses, Ugers, lions, camels, bulis and other animals at least wurty feet high, each pertectly formed ia proportion and each chiselled Irom @ single block of granite.

It consists of two stories and is 120 feet in heignt.

The Societies of tho Chiysty and the Skoptzy—Sectarian Propagnndism—Horrid Rites and Revolting Practices—Wealth of the Sects—Banishment of a Leading Priest of the Koptzy—The Societies Still Wrapped in Comparative Mystery, PARGOLOVO, Russia, June 16, 1869, We have had a trial going on from the beginning of the present year, of which I did not speak to you until now, when it ig ended, because I thought it would seem of more interest to your readers a8 & whole than piecemeal, the more #0 that it concerns an aspect of Russian popular liie perhaps not very widely known to your readers and which will make an introductory explanation imperatively necessary. The parties concerned are members of one of our strangest and.most abnormal religious sects—the Skoptay. 1 donot believe I have ever yet approached tn my letters the subject of our religious dissidents and sectarians, aud yet It is ove of the most inter- estiog and important ones in Russian ancient and modern history. I have purposely drawn a distinclion between “dissidents” and “sectarians.”” The former, very numerous and influential in the lower and merchant classes, belong to the identi- cal Greek orthodox faith, which we profess, and only differ more or less substantially from the gen- eral oMicially acknowledged form of worship and dogmas on a few more or less important questions, mainly of detail; the latter, much less numerous, fortunately much more secret, much less tolerated, have nothing in common with the orthodox church, save the external practices, besides which they zealously Keep up other hidden ones, Partly from ignorance, partly from reasons of policy, they assert that they adhere strictly to the general orthodox religion, and in corroboration thereof regularly at- tend church service, observe all the tasts, dc, But that is in public, In private they have their own religious meetings, wherein the wildest dogmata ave expounded, in a peculiar, mystical lan- guage, intelligible to none but the initiated and those lovers of religious and philosophical in- quiry who have made it the study of a Ufe to pene- trate their mysteries—a study not always unattended with danger. These meetings are algo the scene of strange and sometimes atrocious religious rites, The difference which I draw in this sense between “dissidents” and “sectarians” may be rather appro- priately illustrated from your own religious expe- rience. The Presbyterians, Methodists, Anabaptists and others may be considered dissenting members of one and the same Protestant Church; but the Mormons of Salt Lake, the Communionists of Oneida and the Shakers of Mount Lebanon would hardly be acknowledged as such by the great fathers of Protestantism—Luther and Calvin— though they pretend to hold the same funda- mental doctrines, and, like our own “sectarians” (in any sense of the word), point to the Scriptures and find in them a justification of their wildest fancies. J shall have an early opportunity to give you a concise sketch of the origin and progress of onr dissenters, but the present letter will be exclu- sively devoted to our two principal sects, the Cas- trates and Chiysty, a8 the trial of some of their members (for an imaginary offence, however, tt ap- pears, after ail) affords me a convenient occasion for so doing. ‘The fact is that these two sects are neither more nor less than remnants of paganism, Christianized in form, Of course, by the influence of the times. From this point of view thetr wildest tenets and religious excesses are easily and logically explained. Nor is there anything at all improbable or even as- tonishing in such an hypothesis, You are aware of the fact that the people were made Christians of by the Sovereign’s order abruptly en masse Without any previous process of gradual conversion and teaching. Christianity had not the least hold upon the popular mind, indeed had scarcely been heard of except by the higher classes, the men who had journeyed to Constantinople, or had fought the Greek empire and there shaved or witnessed something like higher intellectual life. ‘The people, the real home-steying, hunting, fishing and ground tuling people, were and remained heath- ens in the fervor and candor of their ignorant hearts. Creeds are not thrown off in a day or a year either. On finding themselves obliged, under the heaviest penalties, to change their form of worship, to destroy’ their idols, to discard their heathen priests and give themselves up to the spiritual direction of the Christian, they naturaily and almost unconsciously began an elaborate pro- cess" of adaptation, or transformation of their heathen deities and rites into Christian. Some of the strangest and most tenactous popular super- stitions evidently have no other orig, and the very language affords the antiquary ample testi- mony of the fact. Slavonic mythology, being one of the oldest, is exceedingly primitive, and is mainly confined to the personification of natural phenome- na. The chief deities are the sun, the earth (styled Tother-damp-earth), considered invariably as the sun’s bride, being fertilized by him, the winds, the frost, the thunder, Now Christ, as the source of ali good, very soon became identified with the sun, and the Virgin Mary, as the type of holy motherhood, with mother earth, St. Niciolas,the sailors’ favorite saint, took the piace of the wind god, and the Pro- phet Kilas, probably in consideration ‘of his having been litted to heaven on a flery car, was metamor- uosed ito Peroun, the thunder god, and the popu- at belief 18 to this day that when we hear the thun- der roliiug the prophet is driving and rattling about the sky in his flery ear. J ain not going to give you a treatise on compared mythology, and the above is suiicient as a hint. The proscribed heatnen priests necessarily changed into wizards and sorcerers, and retained their intlu- ence unabated under this new aspect. They it was, in great part, who kept tradition alive, and the ancient rites retained their ground, as magical in- cantations, until they were adopted as paris of a mysterious sort Of svi-disant Chrisuan worship, in which even buman sacrifices found some applica- tion, You have heard of female Chrisis in your reil- gious annals; our Chiysty had and still have only male ones, but te woman whom they honor wit their Choice (a blind choice, however, under revoit- ing circumstances worthy of the most desperate bacchanalan, with the putting out of lights, &c., at prayer meeting, after franuc, mystical dancing and singing) 1s considered holy and worshipped as the Mother of God; the cinid that 18 born of her is considered a “littie Christ’? if ne be a boy, and de- voutly devoured under peculiar reiigious soiemni- ties, ‘They consider this feasi the true mode of in- terpreting Jesus’ instruction to His disclpies to eat His fesh and drink His blood, and firmly believe that their Christs and their ospring are real ones, true and successive incarnations of the Son of God. The Sisver sect, the Castrates, whose name suilictently in- dicates the substance of their doctrine, has come pa much by the same way to a more Unristian orm of ascetism, which, however, has found vent in the horrid tenet of self-mutilation, with a view to the preservation of chastity and tual triumph over the foils of the devil, Mutilation 1s not confined to Men atone, but extends to women aiso in the form of such barbarous imiictions which tae mind recoils from, ‘They take their stand on the nineteenth chapter of Matias, and expound it in the sense of sell-mutilation, ‘These two sects could not but be highly obnoxtous to tae government, and most of both the latter, because the Calysty had contrived unul very lately to Keep the most monstrous of ther ikea and tenets an impenetrable mystery, and even now it 1s more trom the yatiriag: inidagation of private acho- lars than fron? oficial sources that the worst is known.

Such a rumor could not be jert ‘cnadonded to by u uthorites. A special commission ‘Was in- stituted; but the proceediugs of this commission bear such a singular character from the first as to make it suspected hall of ignorance, hall of dishonesty. It must be owned, however, that the first measures taken by the police authorities were evidently tainted With over-oliciousness, and consequentiy guilty of great exaggeration, La short, what with one excess fad what with the other, tt 48 become quite INIposst- bie to ascortain the real trath of tho case, met the oaly fact which 14 established beyond a doubt 13 there was nothing like polities tn'the whole aifair; that the guilt, if guilt there Was, consisted merely ti sectarian propagaadism, and that the polish con- Spirators were notuing more than # creation of the amiga or some Official person’s over-zealous fancy. ‘he most remarkable circumstance 48 tha tie Money, which at first was reported to reach the ehormous aud Of course iinposstble sum of 60,000,000 in goid, graduatiy dwindied downto 490,000 roubles, whieh was tho whole amount i cash found in the house, some irregul proceedings on the Hf tof the police office aad some contradiction tn He reports, suggest the thought that there was foul lay somewhere.

But what attracted the great- attention and most anxiously disturbed the ofll- cial searchers was a heap of papers, which on ex- amination proved a complete collection of deeds and documents belonging to the most secret pro- cepaes: Spalnst former members ol the sect, some of them ve @ hundred yeara old; copics trom papers, which were supposed to exist solely in the original in the most impenetrable sancta sanciorum of the State archives. The publication of these papers would, in itself, have been anyihing but @ pipseare to the respective higher authorities, But ‘he worst part of the business was that the existence of such a collection, had it become gozes known, ‘would bave been a highly desirable and too evident a proof of the secret power and high connections whieh the ob- noxious sect must at one time have formed, and which alone could have enabled them to procure @ whole set of ancient secret State documents, Fro! tls moment obscurity condensed around the whoie affair; the papers received an administrative circu- lar requesting them not to dwell at too great length and with too many detaiis on this unlucky business, as it had proved greatly exaggerated, and the gov- ernment Wished public attention to be rather di- verted from than attracted to it; in short, we were kept nearly in the dark concerning the progress and concluding proceedings of the commission, and | could not have told you even so much as { have but for some private but fully authentic information, Something had to be done, however, to wind up with, as it would not have been quite convenient and would necessarily have called forth suspicious talk to bave baMed public expectation completely after having raised it to the highest pitch. So poor Michael Plotitzine was sentenced to be exiled to the Caucasus, a8 an objectionable religious character, convicted of having actively propagated the impious teneta of his sect, and thus having trespassed on the tolerance accorded to them by the gracious i- dulgence of our holy Church. If my account of the trial bas left an obscure and unsatisfactory impres- sion on your mind, it is exactly the effect it has pro- duced on our own public, ANOTHER UNKNOWN TERRITORY TO BE EXPLORED. important Results Expected. {Prom the San Francisco Bulletin.) There is a territory about the headwaters of the Colorado, with an area as large as the State of Ni. nois, about which nothing iskvown of any practical vaine, One or two persons have made the passage through the great Colorado Caton, and now and then a ploneer hunter or miner has looked from the heights into its fearful chasms. But we know little or nothing of the topography of the country, what inexhaustible mines of precious metals it may con- tain, aud, more important still, what great table lands and rich valleys it may have, adapted to agri- culture and to the maintenance of a dense population, We do not even know from authentic sources whe- ther the Colorado 18 navigable above the Great Caiion, and we know even less of two or three of its largest afluents. The Flax River is tracedjon maps for more than 200 iniles through northeastern Ari- zona; but the country through which it ows has been shut out from civilization, aud even from thorough exploration, We hear of fierce savages, of floods and droughts, of semi-tropical verdure and of mineral deposits richer than have been developed in any other part of the country. We shall never know how much of truth or how much fiction there may be in these reports un- til a thorough exploration has been made, We have already stated that an exploring expedi- tion under the military supervision of Major General Thomas will be sent to this country during the pre- sent season, comprising engineers, geologisis, botanists and other scienuflc men, with all necessary appliances for a thorough survey of the country. the White Pine pioneers on the north and the South Pacific Railroad surveyors on the south might be able to tell us something about this unknown coun- try within the next year or two. But more important results may be expected from the labors of this mili- tary and scientific expedition. If rich mines and fertile lands should be Jound it will not be long be- fore the current of population will #et towards the upper waters of the Colorado. The consiruction of the Southern Pacifio Railroad will have much to do in hastenimg the setUement of that country. ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES. Arrivals.

Taster Hatchtngn, | If"'Powor and wernt, NEW YORK HOTELS. Life at p New York Hotel—The Summer Sen- son—fiveat In@ux of Southern People, Two gentlemen met at the Grand Hotel, in Paria, not more than four weeks ago, One of them was @bout returning to New York. “I congretulate you,” said the one remaining. “On returning to New York you will again board at the — Hotel?” “Of course I will,” replied the other. “You are to be envied, for there is no life outside of a New York hotel,” and, paraphrasing the old Hungarian adage, he added in Latin:—Eztrano- vam Booravensem non est vita; si est vita, non est ta,” \ And the man was right. it only needs experience to confirm what he said, Expertence of @ kind to be had daily in this city will show that life, whatever it may be in other countries, is nowhere so full of enjoyment and hourly divertissements as in this yery city of ours, And, above a, is the life at a hotel diversified in many parts. There is, in fact, no portion of the globe where life may be seen tn its varlegated shades as it may bein New York and in a New York hotel. ‘There are hotels in other countries and cities, but none to compare with any one of our great caravansaries, Paris and London, Frankfort, Berliu and Vienna, Madrid and Lisbon, Wiesbaden ana Homburg and Wildbad—all these move or les3 prominent resorts of Europe have their hotels, but they are what the custom of lite in Europe makes them—tie transitory abode of travellers and nothing more, What the host of an American hotel, especially in New York, knows to provide the proprietors of European ho- tels care nothing about, which is to make his guests “at home.’ Hence a hotel in this city and in many other cities of this country is more than a mere tem- porary stopping place; it becomes, for the moment, the actual home of the sojourner. It 1g for this reason that quite a large number of families prefer to sojourn at hotels altogether, They not only lodge there, but live there also, and find it not only more convenient, Out at the same time they have more Sosjoneaad than they would have were they anywhere else. A MISTAKEN IDEA, And here it may be remarked that a great number of our people have been egregiously mistaken in supposing that New York hotels are not as well patronized in the summer as they are during the winter and other business seasons. It is true a very large number of our inhabitants take to the country, during the hot term of the year. The watering laces, the sea shore, the country towns, and even isolated farms are filled with a wandering population from this city. .But, although these no pie may represent the wealth and fasnion of New York, they do not represent the city itself, nor do they take With them all that is attractive. While the out-of-town allurements are great—so great, indeed, as to take from us the major part of what 1s called the “fashionable society’—there are so wavy new comers that their absence is hardly felt. One more remark may be justified right here, The ‘watering places,” at least the proprietors of the several establishtents, from Saratoga down to the smallest of them, are already compiaining of the scantiness of the visitors this year, They had ex- pected a grand exodus of all the pat oad of means and have been preparing for it, But at does not come. The season is at hand, but the people do not appear in such numbers as it was hoped. It is not the lack of money which keeps them back. Our Wealthy famiies are sulliciently provided with the “needful” to allow themseives the expense of an excursion for a month or two, But the watering places have no such attractions as the city affords. aye “home” pleasures are, to a certain extent, pre- ferred. Moreover, New York has peculiar charms, For one who lives here throughout the year the whirl of every day may become something stale, and yet he cannot withdraw from it and feels its call as soon as he geis beyond its atmosphere. This 1s not hyper- bolical; it is a fact, and all who read this article will have reason to attirm its truth. NEW YORK HOTEL LIFE. And here we come to the remark made above— that New York hotel hfe is nowhere equalled in the world. As it was said by an eminent German tray- eller, Baron Raumer, there are but two countries in the world where one is tempted to live at a hotel, namely, New York and tue United Staies, This may sound queer, but itis nevertheless a fact; tor New. York isa country for ttseif, and its customs and habits, its population and mode of life are quite different from the rest of the country, and hence Baron Raumer was very pearly justified in naming New York city and the United States as two aistinct countries, though closely aliied by national feeiing. It may be this very dissimiliude of New York which is 60 attractive to the people outside. The Americans are noted for their migratory character. They waut to travel and see scenes of distant regions. Hence, New York presenting, In the form of an epitome, the life of nearly all nationalities of the Old World, @ great mass of people come hither and een ther summer months at New York hotel¥ that they may enjoy not only the weil known luxuries of fashionable life, but have, what others can hardly rejoice in at much greater expense, a view of European customs on American soil. For this reason our hotels are crowded, even during the months of summer, A visit to the Astor, the 5t. Nicholas, the Metropolitan, the Prescott, the New York, the Kifth Avenue, the St, Denis, Everett, Clarendon, Albemarle, Hoffman, St. James, and to all the other hotels of less prominence, will convince any one that their registers are not less flied by new arrivals daily, and thew rooms are not less occu- Hee |. ‘bis can be accounted for in a very few words, ‘ty people, accustomed to the pleasures and at- tractions of New York, desire some rest, and they seck a quiet, rural retreat. Foiks in the country, who wish for recreation, can find it only, as they be- lieve, mm the turmoil and noise of the city. Hence, while the one are vacating rooms the others come to take their places, and the hotels are crowded. There is still another view in regard to this sub- Ject. The Southern States send many representa- tives yearly to the North, and espectally to this city, and they all quarter themselves ip our hoteis. Then, outside of the United States, the West Indies, for in- stance, South America, Central America and Me ico, have such a climate that the people who can afford it prefer @ sojourn im New York to the tropical and almost Killing rays of a Southern sun. And from these sources it is safe to say that not less than 60,000 persons do annually repair to this city and remain here during the summer, to enjoy the “season.’’ i Hence, famed as our hotels are all over the world, for the comfort they offer, they are even now, in the midst of July, full of guests. THE YERGER-CRANE HOM CIDE, Testimony for Defence Closed=-Reobutting Tes- timony Introduced by the Prosecution. (Jackson, Miss. (July 8), correspondence Cincinnati Commereral.} The counselffor the prisoner annonnced to the mil- itary commission to-day that they had closed their case. They would have summoned General Hoos ‘ from Newport, Ky., and three other witnesses, ali of whom were expected to testify ty the prisoner's in- nity, but it was thought that further testlyony on ths point was unnecessary, especially as tt would be attended with deiay. The government called two witnesses in rebuttal. Mr, Thomas Green, banker, festified that Col- onet Yerger haa had banking transactions with him. Witness never suspected his insauity, ani never heard i mentioned in the commu- nity. Had known him ten to fifteen years, and regarded him a8 aman of more than ordinary intelligence. Saw the ditticulty with Colonel Crane, Yerger was greatly excited, but never thought of such a thing as his being insane untt! it was intro- duced in evidence belore the commission. Saw Colonel Yerger engaged im a difficulty a few years o With Captain Martin, opposite the Capitol, about: the close of the war. Aiter a shot or two, the Gap- tain screened himself behind the pillars of the Oapl- tol, but Colonel Yerger stood exposed, cocked his pistoi and shot as fast ag he could. He was. quite cool, and called on his Opponent to come out and fight fairly. Yerger was much less excited on that gccasion than be was in the Crane difficulty. Angelo Mizza, keeper of one of the largest saloons in Jack- son, iad Known Colonel Yerger for twenty years. Knew him to drink; had seen him under the infu. ence of liquor, but never drunk; had never heard iusauity imputed to him, ‘The government may probably close the rebutting testimony on Friday.

It was one of those singular cases, and then developed, whieh give zest to the deciara- tion of.entimes that “tratu Is stranger than fiction."? From one who Was a near neighbor we gather the following partieulars:— He was born on the 10th of April, 1782, near Fred- erick, Frederick county, Maryland, and’ was conse- goenty in his eighty-eighth year atthe time or his cath. He was the youngest son, and nis fasher, who had been quite wealthy, having provided for the rest of the ecaliy reserved the home farm for the youn, je married, and residing on the farm, bad gathered around him a family of sre chit. dren, when the father was induced to éndorse for a son-ln-law, who absconded, leaving him to pay the debt, in doing which Daniel was left peuniless. His wife, whose parents were wealthy, occasionally taunted Daniel with his poverty; yet he, sensitive and high-spirited though be was, bore it until one day, some fifty years ago. He had taken his horses and started to the field to plow, but, Brooding over the matter, tied them to the tence in the field and determined to quit the couniry. He turned his back upon his home. wile, chil- dren and friends, and never more was seen in Frederick, His absence occasioued alarm and inqu but his whereabouts were not known. Wandering about the country for some years, he finally, forty-three years ago, took up his residence in Ballvilie township. For nine years he lived in the family of Jobn G. Rideout, of Baliville, ana then he bulit for himself the iitue Lut in which he resided at the time of jus death. For thirty-tnree years be lived there alone, seeking no information of his friends nor extending to them any Knowledge of his Whereabouts. Nine or ten years ago, however, one of our old citizens, who lormerly had Lyed in Mary- land, was back there on a visit, and hearing some conversation one day in relation to some one who had disappeared from the neighborhood so many ears before and who had never been heard rom, inquired his name, and, on being told it, recognized lim as the hermit Bomgard- ner. Damel’s oldest daughter had married well, aud upon learning that her father Was still living, wrote to him to induce his return and sub uentiy her husband, about eight years ago, pal e old man a visit, remaining with him several days, and endeavoring to get him to return With him, but ail to no purpose. Another effort was made about five years ago by @ grandson, who visited him to get him to return, but he was resolute and would not. And so the years rolled on; the old man grew older, and the once herculean frame be- came tremulous and fragtie, yet still he maintained his solitary and secluded life, A few weeks ago he rew sick but remained about his home until a week efore his death, when he became so poorly that he had to take his bed. He was then removed to the residence of Mr, John Moore, where kind hands nunistered to his wants, and when the death damp fathered On his brow and the feeble pulse cease to eat, stranger hands performed the gad oitice that loving friends fam Would have done. buried on Monday last.
