If it were not an established fact that U. 8. Grant is at Long Branch it would be hard to realize that the President of the United States had even left Washington, for there is not the slightest change in the dally routine, no increase im the number of visitors, and apparently not the slightest deatre to see him on the part of those here; indeed, you hardly ever hear his name mentioned, and if he and bis were to remain less witain their apartments I do not believe they would for over tive minutes be the sub- ject of more curiosity than the least in importance of all the visitors here. After his arrival yesterday his Excellency bathed; in the afternoon, in company with ex-Secretary Borie, he walked on the bluff calmly smoking @ cigar, and im the evening he attended a concert at Howlana’s Hotel. 1 have not been able to detect upon his almost unchangeable countenance any eXx- pression that would lead me to suppose that the condition of Cuba troubied him in the least, or that the unsettled claims for the depredations of the Alabama caused him the least worrlment. It was evidently his intention to have peace during his trip, and, thus far, 1 see no reason why he should not have it, unless Mr. Greeley snould arrive to-day, a 1s expected he will, Then there may be a disturb- ance for a while, if any of the Tribune's suggestions have not been promptly and properly carried out. I hope that the Prestdent’s equanimity may not be disturbed by any such inopportune arrival, for every- thing is working smoothly aud satisiactorily now, ana it would be a great pity to have the quiet of the seaside disturbed by the advent of political wive- pullers, ‘The President's famtly have kept themselves very exclusive, ‘They take their meals in private and re- frain from exposing themselves to the vulgar.gaze of the crowd, Now this 18 woes proper if they see ft to do so; but it would be better taste, I think, if the; would mix a little more with those whose touc! would uot contaminate, and who would, 1 know, re- Train entirely from annoying them pe repecuoae curiosity. ‘Their dignity would not suffer, 1 am sure, and I Wul warrant nat time would pass in a more agreeable manner by being sociable and forgetting for the time being that their home is at the White House, and their usual friends only Senators, Repre- sentatives and the high officials of State who live and congregate in and about Washington city. Last evening, whén the quiet little dance took place in draWing room, the orchestra struck up our na- tional airs, aud all were on tiptoe of expectation that the President and boca were coming. But no, they did not come, and the quadrilie went on without the faces of the dancers showing the least sign of disappointment, for we are ali sovereigns in our own eauinatien. a sm le 6 Ex-Secrétar'y Borie remains with the President Ni ly 18 the most sociable and agreeable man Arty: 1 Nave been very favorabiy impressed with him; and even if he did change some of the unintelligible, Jaw: breaking names of our highly efti- cient steain fleet to 6thérs easy to be understood; and even if he did havea high estimate of the kuow- ledge and experience of Vice Admiral Porter (and who has not?) and saw fit to have him for his right hand man inthe Navy Department, I cannot hei believing that le would have made a very efficien' and in the end exceedingly popular, Secretary of the Navy. ‘True, he 13 not @ bloated poiitictan—not a man given to cunning and intrigue—ani not being 80 probably was his greatest fault and the reason why it was thought that he would not answer for a Cabi- het oilicer tu the present healthy condition of our litical affairs. For my part, I sincereiy congratu- late him on what J consider a fortut escape. He can now be tue friend of the President without being one of his Uabinet officers, and this is a most fortunate thing for a gentieman of quiet tastes. To be one of the Cabinet, subjected to the visits, annoyances and mmportunities of a large majority of our Senators and Representatives in Congress assembied, and oifice- seekers generally. I consider the greatest curse that any of our people can be subjected to; hence Mr. Borie may consider himseif fortunate in beimg ria of the position so early in the history of tne present administration. To change the sudject, we have another day unfa- voraple to the season. ‘Ihe wind js in from about east northeast, er tem J quite fresh; the sxy is obscured with heavy, dark looking clouds that indicate rain, and the atmosphere 1s chilly. Men walk about without feeling warm; indeed, one button can be fastened, and yet not cause discomfort. Ladies keep within doors, and find a shawl not uncomiortable. Many keep their rooms, out ofthe draught, and as for hotel keepers, they look blue. We can’t nave blue sky and sunshine, however, all vhe time, and really a cool day now ‘and then is a relief, and should not be grumbled at. The next hot spell will soon come again, ana then to-day will be forgotten. {t 18 now given out that the grand ball in honor of the President will take place at this house on Mon- day evening next, and no effort will be spared to make it @ great aftair. Of course this will set the ladies in a fever of ex} tion, and there will be great rivalry to find out who can do the most in the way of dress and jewelry, and to learn who will pe the acknowledgea belle of the night. Here tsa chance for Jenkins, which he will doubtless take ad- vantage of, and a flaming account will be given. Of course, those who frequent balls will be on hand; the crowd will be dense, and it 18 sincerely 11) that favorable weather will aid “the ball of the season. At this hour, one P. M., his Excellency has gone out driving in an open buggy, with two fast sorreis, and is doubtless nappy at being engaged m an occupation so well suited to his tastes, for we all know that horse is one of wis weak- est points. How refreshing it must be to him to thus drop the cares of State, to forget the annoy- ances of the Cabinet meeting, to be rid of the eternal ofice-seeking crowd and to leave off all thought of foreign affairs, aud, behind a fast team, think of notiung but the road before him, the gait of his horses and the hour for dinner. Verily, the responsi- bility of the President is great; but 1 it can be shaken off at times ‘twill do no harm, and I think that with President Grant forgetting occasionally the load he carries is a comparatively easy matter; consequently there is no fear in his case of softening of the brain by reason of a mind over-tasked. I would like to hear nim talk. I should like to be behind’ we door when he 1s _ discussing with Secretary lish some intricate foreign subject; for in argamen! I taink he must be good, and am under the impression that his opinion carries great weight; but us yet, beyond rushing for the dally papers yesterday and asking for them all, and re- Marking this jworuing that there were many fine arives about here, I have not heard the sound of his voice. le 1s evidently at thinker, and itis not impertinent curiosity, I hope, to wonder someutmes What he 1s thinkivg about. We may discover some- thing, however, vefore he leaves. ‘This afternoon an excursion party from Newark called upon him and paid their respects. There are quite a number of visitors here at present, and ex- tensive preparations are beimg maue for the grand reception to be given on Monday evening next. . ILLINOIS.

The trial of Millie Gaines, colored, for the murder of James C. Ingle, white mau, watchman in the In- terior Department, in March iast, terminated to-day. According to her own story she had been on terms of improper intimacy with the deceased, with the Prospect of becoming a mother. She had threat- ened to kill Ingle and the lady whom he had invited to go to the inauguration reception. Millie was subsequently interrogated by bim, when she re- peated the threat, whereupon he drew a pistol and Placed itto her head, but could not discharge ft. ‘The accused had asked him for money, in view of the anticipated offspring, when he repulsed her. A short time after this scene she took advantage of his lying ona lounge at the boarding house in which she was a servant, and killed him with an axe or a hatchet. The deceased, not many days before the homicide, denied to one of the witnesses that his conduct towards her was immoral. The counsel for the defence set up the plea of insanity, and numer- ous witnesses were examined on this point. The father of the prisoner showed that from the time of her great-grandparents to the present period in- sanity had been the ruling affliction of the family. Judge Fisher, in charging the jury, said a murder i where a homicide is committed by a per- son of sane mind with malice prepens. The law presumes every person to be innocent until he ts proved guilty, and a jury must give him the benefit of that doubt, He believed tae jury should give the benetit of the doubt ag regards the ageut as the law had always aa in oiler “Hose, ee jury retired and after an absence of two minutes re- turned with the verdict of “Not guilty.” Six of the Jurors were White and the other six colored. This is the first murder trial in the District of Columbia in which the latter race served as jurors. The Boundaries of British North America. The Commissioner of the General Land Office has just addressed a letter to the Crown Land Commis- sioner of the ‘Dominion of Canada, enclosing with the letter a map of all British North America north of the United States boundary line, and has re- quested that oMicer to delineate on the map the ex- act outline of the Dominion of Canada and the several constituent provinces. He has also requested the Crown Land Commissioner to furnish informa- tion concerning the purpose of the British govern- ment to extinguish the interest of the Hudson Bay Company on this Continent, and whether 1t is the pur- pose of the British government to attach that region of country to the Dominion of Canada; and, if not, under what separate organtzation it will be estab- Mshed, and what wili be the seat of legislative, executive and judicial power if it should not be annexed. ‘A singular coincidence connected with the above is that the officer charged with the sur- veys and management of the Crown lands in the Hudson Bay Territory has called upon Commissioner Wilson for reports calculated to give him complete information of the system affecting the original sur- vey of townships in the Western and Northwestern States, It is thought that the American system of surveys will be the best for use in that country. Health of Ex-Attorney General Black. Captain Shirley, who recently visited Judge J. 8. Black at York, Pa., says the latter is rapidiy re- covering from his recent injuries by a railroad acci- dent near Louisville. Seizure of Mlicit Stills in North Carolina. ‘The Internal Revenue Bureau has received infor- mation of the seizure of eight illicit distilleries in Wake county, N.C. There are twenty-five or thirty more distilleries in that section. The collector says the liquor 1s consumed in the vicinity of the distil- leries. Issue of Fractional Currency. ‘The Treasurer has issued $50,000 worth of new ten cent and $1,800 worth of new fifteen cent fractional currency. The new twenty-five and fifty cent notes | will not probubly be issued before the 1st of August. Printing Revenue Stamps. During the absence of Commissioner Delano ar- rangements have been made for a change in the printing and issuing of revenue stamps, It has been the study of the officers of the revenue fora long time to remedy the evil of lack of responsibility in this branch of business, and therefore it 18 believed the corrective will be to print and issue the stamps in the same manner as the currency of the country is printed and issued—namely: the stamps with new designs, printed in Philadelphia aud New York, te be forwarded to the department for the impres- sion of a seal upon them, prior to their being is- sued, and then issued, all from the department direct.

Retarn of Disappointed Exiles—No Country Like Hail Columbia—Experience of the Colonists, Through the kindly consideration of the United States government in the person of Rear Admirat Davis, of the South Alantic squadron, the United States steam frigate Guerriere, which arrived in the lower bay last Sunday evening from Rio Janeiro, brought back to their welcome homes forty-six of the American colonists who started after the close of the war to found a settlement in Brazil, and to build up the fortunes of that promising efupire. These exiles from Columbia’s happy land have had the largest surfeit of foreign travel of any class of people that ever started for other fields and pastures new. Sick unto death, indeed, did they become of Brazil and Brazilians, and countiess sighs were wafted on the southern breeze towards these northern latitudes for the com- forts of civilization left so fearfully far betund., Out of the depths of these Parana forests many a prayer went up for help and rescue from the lips of the poor, broken down, sold and sorrow laden emi- grants. They went out with hope glowing on a pic- ture of measureless acres, in meadows and corn fields of green and yellow, Italian skies, tropical vegetation, diamonds sparkling in the bed of every brook, gold dust manuring the soil of every potato- patch, numerous and docile slaves; in fact, wealth health, easy living and arcadian happiness was sup- posed to be the blessed lot of every Braziltan. Yes- terday afternoon being cool and pleasant, the re- turned tribe of wanderers found)a deep and heart- felt joy, gazing from the deck of the Guerriere across the water at Staten Island. A thousand little pictures of home delights, to which they have been strangers so long, came crowding back upon their fancies, ‘The neat, white porch, with the trellised vine and the trim garden plot in front, down by the sandy beach, awakened among many some very dear associations of other days, for among these un- fortunate exiles were some who enjoyed superior advan’ at home, and whose taste and culture taught them an appreciation ot the artistic and beautiful. All wore an expression of intense delight at finding themselves once more within the sheltering shadow of Uncie Sam’s big forts, but more than all at finding themselves 60 near the soil of sacred freedom and civilization. Considering the physical and mental sufferings the colonists underwent in their abortive effort to build up themselves and the empire of Brazil, they cannot be said to look much altered, though considerably bronzed and weather-beaten by exposure to the ele- ments, Dr. George W. McDade, of Montgomery, Ala., Was among the crowd, and may be remembere: as having started with a number of colonists to Rio Janeiro in 1867. He was leader, and an active one too; but, spite of all his energy and knowledge, his indomitable pluck and self-denial, he broke down in the effort to plant Coa successfully. Other passengers from the South were, John Bax- ter, wife and children, Mississippi; Mrs. 8, A. Davis and Mrs, Joseph Foster, Floriaa; Dwight Foster, New Orleans; W. G. Davis, Louisiana; Jonas Young, pa Joseph Parcher, wile and children, Port Bara . C. From the North were W, F. Hines and wife, Mary Judson Alvina and children, Albany; George and Peter Wolf and wife, New York city; W. B. Coxxlin, Baptiste Charion and Win. Walker, New York city; Wm. Shanly, Brooklyn; James H. Hayes, wife and children, Boston; Julia H. and Mary L. Clitord, New York city; three colore’ men named Taylor, Boston; Wm. Brophy and Jesse Andrews, Brookiyn; Francis, Caroline and Wm. Layton, New York city. ‘Thus it will be seen that the North had as many discontented spirits among its chucewe as the South, but the great difference between them was that those from the North left without any means and because they were too lazy to work at home, while those from the South had ample pecuniary supplies and fled this country from such like mo- tives as animated the ship load of Puritans in flying trom the tyranny of Charles I. The ‘Soucberners, however, were filled with many delusions about federal tyranny, and it was gravely suspected they went to Bra- vil beeause niggers were cheap and abundant. ‘They are quite content now to live under the Stars and Stripes, and express themselves better satisfied to pitch their tents on any portion of the wildest 4 least tenanted lands of America than pass other day on the best soll of Brazil. The first in- stalment of Southern emigration to Dom Pedro's dominions left in the fall of 1865. A few glowing letters were written back, which induced a party about 100 from different States of the South toem1- grate. About the summer of 1866 there might have been 300 Southerners scattered in colonies ween Rio Janeiro and Portalegre. At this time the government of Brazil, duly impressed with the energy and enterprise of the few Americans that had aiready put in an appearance, started the idea of inducing emigra- tion trom the Northern States of farmers, mechanics and other such people as would contribute to de- slop the resources of the empire, Free p: and almost boundless acres were to be granted to each emigrant, transportation for ail articles of househola furniture, agricultural implements, &c., board and lodging upon arrival for twenty days, transportation to any province in the Braziis where he ht choose to settle, giving five years in which to repay the obligation. The thing took immenseiy. Three hundred emigrants per month left this port, and thousands more were prepared to follow. This went on swimmingly for nearly nine months, and then complaints came limping along from various parts ot Brazil that matters were not as they were painted and that everything, from the Amazon down, was a confounded humbug. This checked the spirit of emigration, and finally it died out en- urely. The class of people, however, who went at this time were for the most ag of a very imagina- tive turn of mind, very much averse to hard work and in the majority of instances without either a stake or a beefsieak in the country. It mattered little to them where they went, but they had an idea that the Amazon or some other big river in the Brazils wouid float them up to the fountain head of fortune. The provinces of Rio Grande do Sul and San Catharina were penetrated by the first Southern emigrants and settlements founded on the river Taquary and in the valley of the Serra Geral. These colonists that came back in the Guerriere were some in the province of Parana and others in the Rio Grande do Sul, besides a few that penetrated through Minas Gerdes and Mato Grosso, All agree m stating that Brazil is an excelleat country to emigrate from, but a mighty poor country to emigrate to. After landing at Rio the emigrants {rom the North here who had no money of their own were sent by steamer to Villa Nova or Desterro and turned over to the ten- der mercies of a contractor, who staked them out 150 acres eacn and said, literally, “Make all you can out of thatand pay me by instalments in five years,”? ‘The land was in ail cases as wild and primitive as at the dawn of creation, and in place of striking the soll first with nis shovel the intrepid pioneer from America founa he pad to dig through a layer of rattlesnakes before reaching mother earth. He found great, unwieldy trees, with their tangled, rot- ting brancnes locked overhead and their trunks hung in a veil of slimy parasites. The ground covered with the rudest and coarsest tropical vegetation, horrid stagnant ene on the verge of every wood, and damp, fetid gloom pervading all the forest aisles, even in the blazing light of noonday. Toa million acres of such land as this, relieved here and tuere by a stretch of ris prairie, the emigrants r pious th 3 pa homes, each woman’s fitey ® icture, and women enough ‘were with the party to lend it, so to speak, the charm of romance, They started for their new location with slight misgivings, as they viewed the desolate scenery around them, that their dreams of an Arcadia might after all be delusive. Not @ human being for nundreds of miles, not a iamillar sound irom prairie Jand or forest, not a solitary cottage to be seen, while deeper and deeper they pierced Into this unknown and trackless land, with its awiul forests and its oppressive prairies, its strange zoology and ornithology, 1ts everything dis- mally odd and novel. On a tributary of the Uruguay 4 score of Southern colonists were at work. They had contrived to erect some few cabins of unpainted jogs and cleared three or four acres around them, in the sunlight the work was very severe, The cutting down or the enormous trees involved a@ great deal of labor, and the clearing of the round generally was immensely fatiguing. in the meantune the poor colonists, who had lived in affluence at home, had barely a tew necessaries of life to sustain them, and, as for domestic comforts, they were many thousand milea away.

AMUSEMENTS. How Tourists Visic the Mountains—The Dally Routine—Love Making a! Other Amuso- mente—Sight Seeing. " PaviLion, WoLFBORO, N. H., July 18, 1869. ‘The hegira has begun, and many are the faithful ones flocking to the different Meccas scattered among the deep valleys of these grand old White Mountains. Some take the Portiand propellers, and, after roll- ing and pitching around Cape Cod and listening to theechoes of that Jublilee which are said to stellt be resounding in that direction, land at Port- land, then take the cars to Gorbam, then to the Glen and then over or around the “Moun- tain of the Snowy Forehead” to Crawford's, the Profile and the Lake. But the greater number travel by Count Erie’s line, and gaze reverently at the portly Admiral as he stands atthe gangway bound in blue ard gold, with lemon-colored kids, and sprinkled all over with silver stars. But whichever way we go we sweat and brotl and bake and choke just ag much as did Mohammed,whea he spurred his cgmel across the desert. Either money 1s ight or Centre Harbor is losing its prestige, for thus far the greater portion of the travel has gone up the Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad to Plymouth, amd thence up by through the beautiful valley of the Pe wasset to the Profile. After doing Echo Lake and giving the man who fires the cannon his dollar, taking ® blow at his big tn horn, gazing in wondering. silence at the Old Man of the Mountain, and tear their pantaioons in exploring the Flume, they on and do the mountains, aud when they balance their cash find that they are the most effect done of the two, As for the Band of the Fattut who have taken refuge here, we do nothing bat “sozzle,” a new word which you will find in the next edition of Webster. It is ‘dolce far niente" “ohtum cum dignitate” boiled down into one word of two syllables. : It would do your heart good to see how little we can accomplish in one day. From morning vo night one appears to be wholly absorbed in the solution of some great, momentous scheme; and as there are several brokers here Wall street had better look out next fall. We don’t neglect the inner man, how- ever, and the pabulum we consume stands by us, and this fall, when the roses have withered and the purple-nued maple leaves flutter softly down to the earth we shall bea credit to our landlord and a heavy argument in favor of his cuisine. In the cool of the evening we go rowing on the lake, aud pluck the fragrant water lilies, and quote Moore, and then hand them to our “dearest and best;” or we give them maple sugar, with the very original remark of “sweets to the sweet.'’ kvery year witnesses the arrival of some man who the previous season existed ainong us as a bacu- elor, and now emerges from the chrysalis state and nutters around us with his bride, enjoying the but- verfly period of his existenee. How tenderly tie hauds her out of the coach, how fearful he ts of the night air, and what a zealous opponent he 1s to Late ours, We sometimes wonder off among the green meadows that tringe Lovel’s Pond, aud lie in the shade and hear the litte waves come tinkling m upon the white pebbles and fall into a soft reverie concerning things gone by, until we can almost imagine the noise of the west wind, as it goes sign- ing and moaning through the thick branches of the giant old pines, to be the death groans of the brave Captain Lovel and his band, whose blood years ago made the waters as red as do the last slanting rays of the setting sun.

Genese, Starr, Morrissey and Gerson, oifered the greatest possible variety of attractions. The first part consisted of the overture from ‘William Tell,” by the orchestra; “‘Croyneville,” a one act vaudeville, by Lambert Thiboust, with M. Genot as Oscar Le- cordier, and Mme, V.

A minstrel entertainment by a company of ambi- tious amateurs who call themselves the “Melbourne Combination Troupe” will be given at Union Hall, Broadway, to-morrow evening. Next week is the last of the grotesque Clodoche troupé and “Sinbad” at Niblo’s; but afver “Sinbad”? comes “Arrah na Pogue,” which drama is promised us ona genuine scale of “rare magniticence.”” As the management at this theatre is famous for fulfill- ing its promises there 1s scarcely any danger that the public will be disappointed. The runny Clodoches, atter seceding from Niolo’s, go to Tammany, where they will be one of the opening attractions. ‘The high-kicking Kiraltys, who are now nightly aclighting large audiences at the Olympic with their “light fantastic” manceuyres, will appear In a hew sensational ballet divertissement at that establish- ment on next Monday evening.

H. Stoddart, who will resume his great 7ole of Money- penny, and Mr. Wilham R. Floyd, who will sustain the character of Johnny Reilly. This will be Mr. Floyd’s first appearance in this city after an absence of two years. Burlesque in Boston has nearly reached the length of its tether, and after a short season culls for fresh imported talent (?) to boister it up. Miss Alice vun- ning and Miss Lingard, however, are gradually ob- taining recognition in more legitimate business, that calls for additional dressing and talent in about the same proportion. More clothes and more acting is the empl hs cry which comes to us irom the Hub. Miss Lydia Thompson is slowly recovering trom her recent severe indisposition, and will probabiy make her reappearance at Niblo’s next Monday even- ing in the rollicking “Sinbad,” which rove for che ee four weeks has been 80 ably filled by Miss Eliza vethersby, one of the most vivacious and taleniwd juers that up to the present time have appeared in this city. Possessed of talent 01 no mean order, a good figure and a strong, swee. voice, Miss Wethersby would, with but very little study, prove as able an acquisition to the legiti- mate drama as she now is to burlesque. The Princess Felicie is the sobriquet of a hideous female dwarf now being exhibited at the Cirque, Paris. She has a huge head, which might be on any old hag’s shoulders, which rolis about as thougn it were stuck on @ doll’s body; for the entire being is smaller than many of the dolls which are displayed in the shop windows.
