sT. THOMAS. Jollification Over News of the Success of the French in Battle—Reported Capture of a North German Bark. Sr, THomas, Sept. 1, 1870, On the afternoon of the 22d of August the Britush steamer Delta, Hunter, master, arrived at this port from Halifax, via Bermuda, and brought the news of a telegram of the Sth of August wherein the dis- aster of the French is mentioned. ‘This information ‘was soon circulated in our small community ard produced a heavy gloom on the countenance of those whose sympathy 18 enlisted on the part of France, whether from patriotism, commercial tnter- ests or moral antipathy of the Germans, and not 8 few were heard to say that if France was but true to herself such reverses could not have been experi- enced. But the atmosphere of these symphathizers was mot long overshadowed, for with the dcepening shades of the evening a brightness was perceptible from the decks of the French steamer Guadeloupe from Havana, as she exchanged rockets with the French war steamer Tallisman, which vessel had arrived from Martinique on the 20th, to await the | mews of the war, &c. In a wonderfully short time after the arrival of the Guadeloupe the news that whe brought of a private telegram received av Ha- vana at half-past eleven A. M., of the 17th of August, wherein it is stated that the Prussians had been completely defeated near Mety, and west | 40,000 men, &c., became known, and such a | scene of excitement as it produced lias rarely been witnessed here on any occasion.

The Georgia press does not seem to be united upon the subject of adopting Judge Stephens’ re- commendation, te wit, that ineligibles be sent to Washington, and there bang away at the doors of Congress until they are admitted, or, what is more lkely, are obliged to retire without obtaining seats. ‘The Rome (Ga.) Courter has some sensibie remarks on this subject, afew of which we quote. The ap- plication can be made elsewhere than in Georgia. Referring to Judge Stephens’ letter it say: We differ from his opinion that it would be better for us to remain for ever unrepresented than that we should be misrepresented by men who can take the oath or can get relieved from it. The State of Kentucky is represented by men who have been relieved from the operations of that oath, and we have no better friends than can be found tn that delegation. Hon. Peter M, Dox, of Alabama, has been admitted under the provisions of the law, and he makes a true and tried representative—so trae and so tried that the glorious old democracy of the Fifth Alabama district has renomtnated him. The young Georgian, Mr. Connor, now of the nising State of Texas, was admitted and is now aoing £1 service to his native South by bearding the radical lion in his den, And 80, too, can it be w:th our State, There are men eligible—men who can even take the test oath—who would make faith. fal, true and able representatives. Let us send them, and if the thundering can be done at all it can be done at home without the risk of jeopardiz- ing the best imterests of our people. We want men in Congress, not men knocking at the door and lobbying around like unbidden guests at a feast. We fear that it wes unfortunate for the democratic party that Mr. Stephens was selected as its exccu- uve chairman, certainly it ts unfortunate that he should have written his letter, Georgia Democratic Conveution.

W. Grifith, seventeen days from Matan- zas, arrrived September 7. Bill of health states that cholera and yellow fever were prevalent at port of departure, rig Gronto, seventeen days from Havana, ar- rived September 7. Steamship Morro Castle, four days from Havana, arrived September 7. if Brig Mercedes, twenty-six dayq from Cienfuegos, arrived September 8. Brig Balear, twenty-three days from Black River, via Montego Bay, Ja., arrived September 9. Bark Eastern Province, sixteen days from Matan- zas, arrived September 10, Brig J. B. Brown, fifteen days from Havana, ar- rived September 10. Steamship Bienville, 11 days from New Orieans, via Havana, arrived September 13. Was three day: at Havana; on the passage to this port the steward. ess and one of the crew were taken six with yellow fever, and on the arrival of the vessel at Lower Quarantine were transferred to West Bank Hospl- tal. The patient trom the brig Altuvela was dis- charged from hospital this morning. From these repeated admissions of yellow fever patients into the West Bank Hospita!, it is to be no} that the parties who trade with infected ports will learn to respect the Quarantine authorities tn their efforts to protect the public health and the great commercial interests of the city and State, Yours, very weapesstulyy J. M. CARNOCHAN, Health OMmeer. The Collector of the Port of Perth Amboy has re- fused to allow the American brig, Thomas Owen, from Havana, to enter and discharge cargo there. Sbe was consigned to E. D. Morgan & Co., of this city. It was discovered when the vessel went to the wharf that the Cousular certificate atfixed to the invoice stated the cargo to be consigned to New York. The Collector referred the matter to the proper authorities at Washington, and received an order in reply to og the vessel to go to New York and not to enter her at Perth Amboy. So it will be seen the United States government is dever- mined not to countenance the subterfuges of those men who trade with mfected ports, and who desire to get their goods to this city regardless whether thy beaith of the public is endangered or not. THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE CONFERENCE. Reply to a Disappointed Stranger. To THe Evitor oF THE HERALD:— Your correspondent, ‘‘An Old World-lan,” says that he has been told, on arriving in this country from Great Britain, that the Evangelical Alliance Confe- rence has been postponed on account of the war. He regrets this decision and gives his reasons. The postponement was at the first request from Europe refused by the United States Alliance, and we tele- graphed to London, to Paris and to Berlin, that we could not consent to it, Then came the assu- rances from England, France, Holland, Ger- many and Switzerland, that the delegates could not come, and there was nothing left for us to do but to watt for peace. To hold an international congress without the possibility of other nations being represented would be a farce. But I write simply to inform your correspondent, and others who may be in his situation, of some fucts of which he seems to be ignorant, He says:— “j yenture to think that in no city of the United Kingdom woulda a number of American gentlemen who had come to their shores on the invitation of British Christians for an important object, be allowed to come and go without recognition, or even the tor- mality of a public meeting for expianation and wel- come.” To this reflection on American manners it is enough to say that sf your correspondent will report himself to tne office of the Alliance, 21 Bible House, as other gentlemen did on their arrival, he will Jearn that arrangements were made two weeks ago tor & public reception to be giver to all the gentlemen who have come from abroad, and for a public meet- ing also, to hear statements and addresses from them. To insure their attendancc, by making 1t coincident with the expected conference, the day for this reception is fixed for Friday, Sepiember 23, the day on which the conference was to be organ- ized.

Respectfully yours, S. IKENAUS PRIME, Corresponding Secretary, ATTEMPTED DOLLAR SUICIDE. How a Young New York Sport Tried to “Play? on His Mother—Pretends He Swallows Two Jars of Ink and is Seon ‘The public has frequently of late heard of a num- ver of actual suicides, but the present case resem- bles somewhat that of the heroic Mantilint men~ toned by Dickens, who, whenever he wished to procure a favor from his better-half, threatened to end his earthly career, but those threatenings always resulted in a peaceful solution of all dimcul. ties and the granting of the desired favor. The present hero is named Frank McCready, residing in Fourteenth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, He does not belong to any business or Prcreeston, but lives on what 18 technically termed his wits, bemg supported by a respectable and estima- ble mother. He has been of late im the havit of “beating” his poor mother, Mai tim’ style, out of the necessaries to con- tribute to his dissipations, and yesterday he made another attempt at suicide, which was evidently more business-like than usual. On returning home he demanded of his mother one dollar, which she refused to give him, as she had already contributed liberally and often to the young genticman’s wants, On tits reiusal he seized two jars of ink and pre- tended to swallow the contents, He then rushed to the house of two mutual friends and demanded a pistol, stating that he was about to commit suicide. One of the saptiement knowing the character of Mc- Cready, said He would certainly procure him a pistol; but, 1f suicide was not the {mmeaiate consequence, the friend would assist McUready by blowing out the latter's brains lumself, This threat immediately brovght the gallant Mevrealy to bis seases, and be a@tonce went under and acknowledged the corn, stating that the whole atair was a toax. It ts need- less to remark In conclusion that the “suicide” is no relalive of the aveat McCready Wagedian, = * . DEPARTMENT OF PARKS.

ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE. A Lo Branch Belle’ Falls Victim to the Toils of a Naponock Druggist—Exciting Scenes Aboard a Steamboat—A Cruel Mother and Sister—A Noble, Generous and True Brother. About two months ago two sisters, aged eighteen and twenty years. respectively, fashionably dressed, accomplished and highly respectable, arrived in Rondout, from Ellenville, intent on paying a visit to Long Branch. Both were peautiful brunettes, with dark, luxuriant hair and the most bewitching of black eyes, the elder full of life and vivacity, the younger sad and dejected, as if some cankering care were gnawing at her young heart. The elaer, to a question why her sister looked $0 care-worn and sorrow!ul, answered that of late she was subject to the attacks of that most heartiess of inquisitors, ennut, which would soon be driven away AMID CONGENIAL SCENES AND CONVIVIAL COMPANY to be found at Long Branch. To these sallies the sister would only answer by a sad shake of the head, knowing full well tnat naught could again cheer her desolate heart. The next morning they left Rondout on board one of the steamboats for New York, both apparently giving themselves up tothe contemplation of the beautiful and giorious scenes along the grand old Hudson—the younger seeming to have forgotten her sorrows amid the picturesque grandeur of the Highlands. Arriving safely in New York they took passage in the Plymouth Kock for LONG BRANCH, where they were met by friends, who were expect- ing their arrival, Here the sisters spent several weeks, drinking in the cool breezes of tne sea, sporting merrily in its foaming, roliing surf, both seeming to enter heartily into the festivities, gaye- ties and fashhionabie dissipations of.the day. FLIRTING, WINING, DINING AND DRIVING, they soon became general favorites among the guests. Many will now remember the two sisters, whom they 80 much courted, favored and flattered, and whose wealthy and aristocratic parentage was only excelled by their personal charms and beauty, tittle dreaming that one of them has fallen into deep disgrace. THE SAD SISTER daily became more and more dejected and care. worn, until her sister, becoming alarmed for her health, resolved upon returning uome. They came to New York and took passage on the steamer Mary Powel!. While going up the river the young gir! ‘was taken very sick with violent pains. Upon their arrival at Rondout a physician was hastily sum- moned, who, after @ careful examination of the patient, informed her and the elder sister that she ‘Was about to give birth to a child. Upon this the elder sister became very INDIGNANT AND ENRAGED, hurling thick ana fast upon the head of the doctor epithets not ali complimentary, to which he quietly replied that he he hoped she was right and he wro.g, but time alone would decide. A carriage was at once called, and the sick girl en to the Mansion House in Kondout, where in fifteen minutes after her arrival she became a mother. The eldest sister now became more and more enraged and excited, upbraiding her sister without reserve—yelling and screaming at the top of her voice. So boisterous, furious and violent did she become that it was found necessary to eject her from the room. Snortiy alter she DFSERTED HER SISTER, and started for her home at Ellenville, to inform the family of the disgrace which*had befallen them. Immediately after the reception of the sad news a brother Of the forsaken gir! came to Rondout, and 1s row there anxiously Waiting till such time as he may be able to take her to his home—the mother and sister of the unfortunate girl having barred the fees pe home against her. But for the unfaltering jove of ‘A NOBLB, GENEROUS AND TRUE BROTHER, through good report and evil report, in coming to the rescue of his fallen,sister, she, like many others, would have been driven out tnto a cold and cheer- less world, and the once much loved and respected pelle of the village might have gone down step by step to the dark shades of degradation and vice, fill- ing wt last an outcast’s grave. THR SEDUCER, who with soft and honeyed words wound himself around the heart of his victum, like a serpent around his prey, until she at last fell, quivering and futter- ing like a stricken bird, is, as she alleges, a druggist in Naponock, Ulster county. HIS VICTIM has many times informed him of her situation, and has repeatedly pleaded with him to make good lis vows—to save hier and the child from ignominy and disgrace; but with stoical indifference and demo- niac laugh he would turn ner aside. It now remains to be seen whether the people of Naponock will countenance or tolerate in their midst a man so dan- gerous, wicked and debased, or whether they will not, by the lorce of public opinien, “put awhip in every houest hand to lasn tue rascal naked through the world.” A FounDLING IN Troy.—Saturday night, at ten o'clock, spectal officer Hotchkin stood: on Fulton street, near River. A Fulton street merchant came to him and sald:—"Look here, George, something very strange has just taken place; a inan has dropped @ bundie in front of my store and { think 1U’s an infant; come up and take a look.” The mer- chant was very excited: of course, under the cirs cumstances, he had a right to be. Hotchkiu started leisurely to walk to the place where the merchant dispensed ktd gloves to all comers, but he was too sioW to suit his companion. ‘For God's sake walk faster; my character will be ruined.” Being aul mated bya desire to prevent the aloresald character from going to the bad, Hoichkin walked very rap. idly, and soon they were in frout of the merchanv’s place of business. In the doorway was @ bundle, neatly done up tu White muslin, Gentiy the ofivcer liited tt; as gently dia he untle the cords that heid ft together, Softly hy opened it, far might tk not contain that which told of te sad. sad story Of mone woman's shame, and there covers?
