We expected it. We knew there could not be an eclipse of the san but war would follow, and here it is. In the valley of the Susque- hanna there are stirring times, That hitherto Placid region was the chosen home of the Angel of Peace, but he, poor rustic, has wiped the smut from his fragment of smoked glass and his forehead, folded the little linen he owns, packed his Russian leather bag, and taken his departure, slipping away by an express train, having been surprised with hia wings out for repairs. In his stead comes, slowly rising above the line of the horizon, the burly figure of Fisk, Jr., the hero of a hundred fights and victories—the man ot inte- rior lines and exterior equanimity. There is a hum of many voices—a hubbub, a clamor—the noise of hustling and jostling, and the dust of the siruggle fills the air, so that the only thing that is dofinite is Fisk, Jr. He comes out as round and clear as that part of the moon that first thrust its impudent periphery between us and the sun on Saturday last at one minute past five P.M. He is the only nd regards the rejection of the offers of compro- mise made by the Wells party in Virginia as certain proof that some of Walker's party wil! oppose the administration. It has been decided to ase ali the legitimate power of the administration to saye Mis- siasippl and Texas. Early yesterday morning a gang of robbers entered the car of the Pacific Express Company, oa tmeNew York Central Rafiroad, between Albany and Fonda, overpowered the express messenger and baggageman, broke open the safes, appropriated the oontents and escaped with thelr booty unnoticed. ‘The amount stolen is unknown, but it is believed to be very heavy. The messenger and baggageman were seriously injured, having been beaten with clubs and chiloroformed; when released they were half dead. Governor Palmer, of Iilinois, made a speech ina republican convention, on Tuesday, which was strongly State rights in sentiment. He is notin favor of the fifteenth amendment, for the reason that ne opposes the surrender of the State’s control of suffrage to the general government. ‘The total receipts, exclusive of loans, of the United States Treasury for the quarter ending June 30, 1869, «Were $100,847, 618, The earnings of the Union Pacific Railroad since the time of its completion to August 1 amount to $1,778,163. The heavy increase of the freight tramc, inauced by the lower rates, will largely increase the receipta during the present month. A party has sprung up 1a Tennessee which pro- poses to repndiate the twonly millions State debt contracted under the Brownlow administration. Emerson Etheridge is a warm supporter of this move- ment. The Ohio Democratic State Central Committee yesterday nominated George H. Pendieton for Gov- ernor in the place of General Rosecrans, de- clined. Mr. Pendleton at once accepted the nomi- napion. A State Temperance Convention was held in Hartford, Conn., yesterday, at which resolu ‘were passed devouncing the manufacture an: of intoxicating liquors and urging the formation of @ temperance political party. ‘he members of the Convention piedged themseives to vote for no candi- date for Governor or Legislature who was not in favor of a prohibitory law.

Cook. eh red o thing that is well defined; but there are other figures dimly seen in the edge of the glory that blazes out from his person | like the circle of splendor around a Chineso giant made of fireworks. There is some mysterious creature named Ramsey, touch- ing whom tradition and history are equally silent; there are five hundred persons, called the ‘‘indignant public,” gathered to- gether in Albany and shouting for Ramsey ; there are captured trains, burned bridges, judges furiously and rapidly issuing injunc- tions; the very air is darkened with writs and with sheriffs hurrying madly up and down with those puerilities of the law. Taen there is tho Governor encouraging the diversion by declar- ing that whoever gets possession shall be pro- tected therein; and, better than all, there are the militia soldiers marching through the blue and rose-colored fire, the excellent band playing C’est un famoux regiment, Le regiment de la Grande Duchesse. Hurrah for the militia! Then we have the Governor again. This time he threatens to apply the radical cure of martial law, which, as is known to all ‘‘muasy” persons, both in this country and Europe, has a ‘‘sting like a viper,” seize the road in the name of the Executive and run it as a military line under the urgency of a military necessity. The very announcement of such a plan had a soothing effect. The belligerents were aston- ished, sobered and finally soothed, at least for the moment. They appeared as if rejoiced that any person or power came be- tween them to “hold on” to them and calm the “hurly burly” even tompo- rarily. It was agreed to hand the matter— road, quarrel and all—over to the Governor, saving the rights of the contestants, let him retain it for a while, and then see how it would “come out.” Governor Hoffinan, in the mean- time, ‘“‘went in,” as invited. He appointed a gentleman to represent him—a sort of con- densed railroad king—assume the responsi- bility and ‘‘work” the road on the ‘‘one man power” principle. This has been carried into effect, and all refractory members are likely to be pushed aside equally, after the fashion of Oliver Cromwell and the first Bonaparte. The precedent may herald a grand revolution in the matter of railroad management, for if the Governor’s man is able to ‘“‘tool the coach,” after the others have failed, why not an execu- tive man be appointed to run each line or all the lines in the State, under authority of law. Good may ‘‘come out of evil.” Altogether it is the most magnificent, enter- taining and distracting muddle of modern times. It is better than the anti-rent war; fifty times better than Grant's visit to Long Braneh. (How is it he didn’t go to Saratoga, since there are races up there?) Nobody would think of comparing Bismarck’s Sadowa war to this war on the banks of the beautiful Susquehanna ; for Bismarck is not so stout as Fisk, and whereas that war lasted only seven days this will last a great deal longer. There is no use to make the compari- son seriatim with all the great events of our time, from the cowp d'état to the battle of Prince and Turk, It is sufficient to say that this surpasses them all in the dramatic and epic elements, and we are confident that if Fisk owned a poet Achilles, Ulysses, Diomedes and all those fellows would appear as atomites beside him. ‘The oontis ognfugion of the thing is so beautiful. It is so exqui sich; Tncomprehenst- be, Fhis, indeed, {&, critically speaking, the great point. All ordinary uproara are soon seen through. We know themas we know the incidents of a ride in a city horse car. And it is this familiarity that breeds contempt for them as commonplaces. We dety anybody to have a similar contempt for Fisk's doings, He evidently believes in Burke, and means to be sublime by keeping just ia the outer limit of popular comprehension. No doubt the public would be sorry to have this fine row degenerate into a simple thing that they could understand; but this need not cause them to regret that Fisk has written a letter explaining his case, He does not ex- plain it, of course. He is not ao foolish as to make these matters plain. True, he seems for a moment to argue very straightforwardly that he acts in the interest of owners of the majority of the stock, and that his object is to make the Susquehanna Railroad, connect- ing Binghamton with Albany, less a branch of the Erie than a main line that in conjunction with the Erie will conuect the West with the East by the Albany and Boston road. Here wecan see a good and legitimate purpose, and also a plain reason for the opposition of the Central, that great rival of Erie that now has exclusive direot communication between Albany and the West, This, therefore, is simple enough ; but, as we have said, that very fact Is against it, for surely Fisk is not inclined thus to come down from the throne he holds as the Grand Panjandrum of modern wuddles and stand before the world simply as shrewd manager of railroads, careful to be in the right, Such self-abnegation is not possible; #0 we shall suspend our faith in his prociama- tion till we hear what the other side says, ay ‘The High Price of Conl—How te Cheapen It. Coal is an article of prime necessity, Every ete woman and child must have thd uso of Bread jy not inore necessary or more —— used. Yet the people of this coun- try are now paying over double what they ought to pay for this article, The price is from eight dollars fifty cents to eleven dollars a ton, according to the quality. It ought not to be over four dollars, At that price thé doai miners, capitalists, dealers and railroads would be sufficiently remunerated, How is it, then, that the whole community is taxed more than a hundred per cent on this necessary article? It is a monstrous injustice, and the rich min- ing capitalists, with railroad and other mono- polists, are guilty of it. As to the plea made in bebalf of these capitalists and monopolists, that the high wages of miners and mining laborers is the cause, it is all bosh. These workmen can be well paid, and then the price would be remunerative at four or five dollara a ton. The combinations of capitalists and monopolists are the real cause. The whole people of the United States are thus taxed enormously for the benefit of a few individuals. or a particular interest. How long is this monstrous iniquity to be endured? Congress should immediately on reassembling abolish the duty on foreign coal. This would have the effect at once to bring the price down probably two dollars a ton, and would tend to break up the monopolies, which in the end would cause a further reduction. It would bo just as reasonable to tax the bread we eat as to tax coal. Besides, manufactures cannot thrive unless coal be reasonably cheap. The manufacturing prosperity of England and her ability to command the markets of the world result chiefly from her great abundance of cheap coal. The cost of shipping coal here from foreign countries will afford all the pro- tection our mining capitalists ought to require. At any rato the interests of the community at large should be considered before those of a limited class or of one particular section of the country. It is to be hoped Congress will do something in the matier, so as to give the people cheap coal. Atlantic Cables. It has been known for some time that a grand telegraph enterprise was on foot—an enterprise which was chiefly American in its character, but which represented also a con- siderable amount of British capital, and which Moro j contemplated laying a telegraphic cable along the coast of China. This is an initial step towards bringing Asia more directly within the range of the modern mercantile world. It is a preliminary to a grand Pacific cable which shall connect the United States with the great commercial centres of Japan, China and India. We have been glad to learn that Lord Claren- don has given instractions to the effect that the British fleet in Chineso waters shall co-operate with the Asiatic squadron of the United States in laying and protecting this cable, This action on the part of the British government is all the more praiseworthy that arrangements have been made to lay a cable between Suez and Bombay to connect with that of Malta and Alexandria. In such joint labors great nations do themselves honor. Another item of our latest news is to the effect that a French company has offered to construct a telegraph line from Lisbon and Gibraltar to England and America on a twenty years’ sub- sidy. We wish success to all such enterprises. We cannot have too many cables. Whatever tends to annihilate distance and to facilitate interchange of ideas is a gain to ) humanity. Tae New Post Orriog. —There was another meeting on Tuesday of a committee of the Comr mon Council on changing the site of the Post Office. On the part of the government it was explained that the present site was satisfac- tory, but as Mayor Hall had proposed a change the government was willing to hear what the city authorities had to say. Here- upon an Agsistant Alderman said that if the government wanted to change the present site for ‘‘a better one” it should so enlighten the Common Council that they, astonishing men, ‘‘might know what they were going to do.” In fact, “What will you give?” We hope the government will not waste another year in conference with our city authorities, but prosecute the labor. Deve Store Murvers,—During the last few days the public mind has been edified by a series of fatal results, in various parts of the country, produced by the negligence of drug- gists and their assistants.

The radical papers are terribly exercised at the prospect of Andy Jo'nson’s election to the United States-Senate, They fear his trenchant logic, his outspoken, blustering honesty, and, above all, his inveterate hostility to the radi- cal leaders, who were his bitter onemies in the days of impeachment. Some of them predin’ with undisguised terray thet Tle will become “q leader, aud not a follower,” in the Senate. of course he will, Johnson has nothing to follow except the peculiar views which made so marked a chapter in the history of his de- clining days of power. These views he has since ventilated on the stump and will no doubt urge with sledgehammer force from his place in the Senate, That he will go there the results of the Tennessee election have mide almost a fixed fact. It is no wonder that Andy Johnson's presence in the Senate chamber should be a terror to the radicals ; but then he is very likely to bo sent there by his fellow citizens for all that, and we hope he will, A little leaven of Andy Johnson's spice will do that august body no harm, while his wholesome ventilation of many public questions, such as the limits of legislative au- thority, the privileges of the Executive, the reality of the constitution, to say nothing of the farcical phases of impeachment, will un- doubtedly prove very interesting and instruc- tive to the people at large. The Escape of Cuban Prisoners, Among the prominent arrivals by the steamer Java, from Liverpool, were three of those wealthy Cuban planters who in March last were banished to the island of Fernando Po, off the west coast of Africa. As this island lies almost on the equatorial line, and has the character of being, at certain seasons, exceed- ingly unhealthy, it is hardly the sort of place one would choose as a ‘“‘summer resort.” To escape from it our Cubans ventured their lives in a small canoe, without provisions or water, compass or chart. They had the good fortune to be picked up by an English sloop, which conveyed them to Calabar, on the neighboring coastof Guinea, Here the negro King received them hospitably, and even summoned his fighting men around him to defend the fugi- tives, if necessary, from Spanish pursuit; and when the Spanish war steamer soon after came into the harbor and demanded their surrender he spirltedly refused to give them up. In this course he was supported by the English residents there and by the captain and crew of the English mail steamer, and the Spaniards wisely determined to retire without proceeding to hostilities. The Cuban fugitives embarked on the English mail steamer and reached Liver- pool in due course, and on the following day the three gentlemen we allude to sailed by the Java for New York, the others, sixteen in number, intending to follow soon after. This escape of these brave Cubans is a matter of congratulation on more than one account. For their own sake we rojoice at it, as their treatment by the Spaniards was unne- cessarily harsh, and we know there is many a true patriot in Cuba to whom the news of this escape of their friends will be like tidings of a fresh victory. We also rejoice at it for the sake of Cuba, as these gentlemen are among the wealthiest of her sons, possessing, it is said, on an average over one million of dollars each, and the severities they experienced must have increased their antipathy to the oppressors of their aative island. We feel confident they will soon give the Spanish dons a good account of their whereabouts. Meanwhile we heartily welcome them to this country. “Where You Shall Be Hanged by Neck.” In such words, with the usual addition of “ill you are dead,” did the Judiciary of Penn- sylvania announce to Charles Orme some short time since that he should die by the rope at Stroudsburg, in that State, yesterday. Charles Orme was convicted of having participated in the murder of a man named Broadhead during the month of Sep- tember last. His abettor and aid escaped from prison. He himself was passed to eter- nity by the sheriff under the circumstances stated in our special.roport. The scaffold was erected in a cell of the prison and fifty persons witnesged the manner of his death. Whother they were improved in morals, edified in mind, or made better in any respect thereby re- mains. The convict was not in a happy frame of mind. He complained of his treatment in jail, a subject which caused an argament between the executing’ Sheriff and his predecessor in office, in which Orme took part. On this the clergyman had fim removed from the scaffold for additional re- ligious consolation. He was restored to the rope after the expiration of an hour or more, the On this occasion the soaffold broke lown ‘with him, he fought for life, a new rope had to be obtained, hd Wis readjusted for its use, and then even sed from life alter Sonslder able difficulty. érime of this man was ad—the manner of ita explation sickening.

Our TetRgRAPHERs.—With three cables spanning the Atlantic, and all owned in Europe, it has naturally been a common wonder as to where all the American enterprise had gone. Jt has gone to the Pacific and is working up our gfeap Asiatic future, The last telegraph item concerns the laying of an American cable along the ehores of China, They carry the cables who need the communication. Europe needs us and comes to us. We need China and we go to her. Cupa was an appanage of the Spanish crown, and they who have driven out the wearers of tha grown and secured their property in Spain have never secured possession of this piece of colonial property. On thé contrary, their pos- session fe disputed front-two sources—from the adherents of the crown sad from the people who claim the right to disposd of themselves. Now Spain proposes to send twedty thousand men to conquer the feland; but she must find Generar Caner tas been called to Wash- ington, and we should judge by hie (cst order that Washiogton is the best place for him, Waiow?—Either the Hecvard crew must have begun very badly in England or it is rising to @ wonderful degree of excellence, for every bulletin tellg of inarensing speed, Queen Victoria’s Specch. The session of the British Parliament was prorogued yesterday by royal commissioners speaking in the name and behalf of Queen Vic- torla, The address—which we report by cable to-day—goes to show that her Majesty is ploaged with tho home gituation and the posi- tion and prospects of Great Britain, She sees no cause for the di turbance of the peace of Eur ope—a pleasing assurance for the legis- lators and people at large. Her Hgotiations with the United States—the commissioners did not particularize the subject—have been suspended by ‘‘mutual consent,” but the Queen hopes that the “delay may tend to maintain re- lations between the two countries on a durable basis of friondship”—the wor ‘delay may tend to maintain” conveying the idea that the relations have been endangered from some cause or other lately, On the subject of the Irish Church legislation the Queen expresses the wish that iis effects may produce peace in Ireland, appearing at the same time as if relieved by the abolition of the quasi Anglo- Hiberaian popedom which she has heretofore represented as head of the Church, The legis- lation on subjects of social reform and home economy generally was pleasing to the Crown, and the money supplies accepted and acknow- ledged as liberal, The speech, in its general tenor, goes to show that England proper holds well together at home, the condition of the Dominion of Canada, British India and Aus- tralaaia not being referred to. A New Evatisn View or Non-IntreveNntion may be found in the article of the London Times, the gist of which was telegraphed by cable and published ia our columns yesterday. The Times, descanting upon the present am- biguous relations between the United States and Cuba, says that the last French campeign in Mexico ought to have made it manifest that there is neither honor nor profit to gain for the Powers of the Old World by meddling with the affairs of the New. Just so. It is well to see that the unfortunate Mexican campaign has brought forth this experience. It is to be hoped that Spain, in its infancy of constitu- tional liberty, will look upon the Cuban revo- lution in this light, and keep its threatened army of twenty thousand men at home. It is to be hoped, too, that our administration will remonstrate against any further interference on the part of Spain with ‘affairs in the New World,” in which aspect the Cuban revolution may certainly be considered—that is, if the Cabinet does not resolve to go further by recognizing the revolutionists as belligerents at once, which would settle the question be- tween Spain and Cuba in a jiffy. TEMPERANOR.—We are assured on high au- thority that ‘‘ the temperance men of our State will ask our next Legislature to pass an act enabling the legal voters of each city and town- ship to decide by a poll whether they will or will not have rumeelling licensed in said town.” This would be just, as it would put the matter on the real basis of popular will, and every one would be satisfied with it if it were not morally certain that these temperance men will declare that the majorities against them are not cast by “‘legal voters.” Quip Pro Quo.—The men who “lock up greenbacks” should not be astonished if they get locked up themselves. Tue Rantoat Oraan it this city gives its voice in favor of what may be called the great radical political crime—bribery. It proposes te convert a refractory politician to a man of some principle by presenting him “with a fow thousand dollara’ worth of bonds.” We are informed that 4 French company has offered to construct @ eable from Lisbon to America. Is this the same ‘‘French” company that laid the French cable? That is an intelli- gent company. All the members speak excel- lent English and prefer stout to claret. Mrs, Brunson, a terrible creature, who wants to fight some one for woman's rights, thinks that to have the women’s debates re- ported just as they take place, and without the revision of men, is “infamous” and a “shame,” Generar Pam has arrived in Paris. He ié to remain for the enjoyment of certain public festivities just at hand. Previous to his de- parture from Madrid he ordered that all Carlists taken in arms during his absonce should be shot. The Genoral thus personifies the state of affairs existing in Spain exactly. He will consequently be acceptable to Napo- leon, who may, perhaps, educate him in some new plan of ggttlomont, Bnei Tae Soran or Turkey forbids the supply of arms and a war vessel ordered by the Vice- roy of Egypt in Berlin and Trieste.

BUFFALO, August 11, 1869. The second day of the trotting of tho thira meeting of the Buffalo Park Association was largely and fashionably attended, The weatner wis fine, and the track tm capttal con- dition. Two trots were started, both with fine fields of trotters, the first having soven, and the aécond being particularly large, no less than, eleven horses coming tq the pose, The first trot was won by th the bay gelding Wenry after four closely contested heats. ‘The second trot was not finished, four heats being trotted without a a result, Tie HAST mor. This was fora purse of $1,500, for horses that have never beaten 2:40 in harness or to wagon; $900 to the first horse, $460 to the second aud $150 to tho third; mile heats, best three in Ave, in har- ugg, For thig purge there were seven entries. ‘Those were W.

In the pools that were sold Young Black- bird had the call over any of the others, St. Zimo was the second choice, and all the others were sold ag the field, The betting was very heavy, for, apart from tho trotting men from all sections of the country who had followed tneir favorites, there was a large delegation of racing men from Saratoga, some winners on the races, who were anxious to press tueir luck, while the losers took this means of retrieving their for- tunes.
