THE NATHAN MURDER. THE FARRAGUT OBSEQUIES. Discharge of the Self-Accused. Confederate. Affidavit of Detective Farley—Statement of Francie J. Kipling—Denial of Having any Kuowledge of the Murder. fhe young man, Francis James Kipling, who was Arrested at Pottstown, Va, on the 23d inst, on his own confession of being implicated in the murder of Mr. Benjamin Nathan, was yesterday afternoon brought up for examumation before Judge Dowling, ft the Tombs Police Court. He was in the charge of detective Philip Farley, Jt was impossible for any pbserver to look at this youth without perceiving that be did not possess the ordinary INDICATIONS OF VICB, Much fess the ferocity that must have aided or been displayed in tho perpetration of thus terrible crime, Before the proceodings were opened Judge Dow- ling intimated that he ghould like to have some idea of the charge upon which the accused had been ‘arrested, so as to form some reliable basis for the Prosecution. At this suggestion detective Philip Farley make the following aitidavit, which he signed im the presence of the Judge and the counsel in court:— “1, PHILIP PARLEY, an Oficer of the «police detective force tn this city, Fecoived @ telegram in connection with this matier onthe 22d day of September last from George H. Hoffman, Schuyikill Haven, 1n the State of Pennsy!l- vania, a8 follows:—‘Come on unmediately; I have the pen, aud the man js sure.’ La col uence of this, and acting under instructions m Su- periatendent Jourdan, 1 proceeded to that place on Friday, 23d September. On my arrival there I was mel by Hoffman, who afrerwards introduced me to a gentleman ‘by the name of F. Epting, keeper of a hovel therein. “Tus gentieman iniormed me that he knew all about the person, Who said that he was present at the time of the murder. Tne said Eptiug refused to give the necessary information until aiter he had seen other pariles. On the next day 1 saw Epting again, also a mnan named James Levelle. The said Epting and Levelle both informed me that Francis J, Kipling ar- rived at Schuyikill Haven on the 1éth of August last ang asked at the hotel tor board and lodging, and that Kipling, the accased, had informed Epting that he was wiuua tour feet of Mr. Nathan at the place and time When the FATAL BLOW WAS STRUCK; vhat he had seen the ‘dog’ before in the hands of the parties who had committed the murder, and that tf certain parties did not do the right thing by him that he would go and ,*blow’ on them? 01 over, that his (KI ’s) Valise had been opened and found to contain certain wearing apparel—a coat and vest—which had been recently washed and yet hed marks of blood upon them;' that Kipling ex- pressed fears of being arrested by the pdtice of the city of New York; that I (Farley), injoompany with a constable named Mariz, proceeded to Limerick on the Reading Rall- Toad, and from thence crossed over to the foot- ath of the canal at that place and went towards ottstown, for the purpose of meet the man said ‘to be Kipling. Here I arrested him. Kipling is now ‘present in court; 1 thea instructed Le- velle and Epting to come to New York on the following ~ Monday the first train and ~~ bring the ARTICLES OF ULOTHING they found in the valise and any other evidence tacy could find in reference to the matter. Last even- ing (Monday), 1 again telegraphed to them to come to-day and appear before Justice Dowling, but up to ‘this time the said parties have not apppeared in pur- suance of the telegram and instruction given.” There was anumerous crowd present during the proceedings, among whom were the father, two brothers and a sister of the accused. Mr. Fowler ap- ‘peared for the accused and the District Attorney for the prosecution. Count Joannes was present, and appeared, for some inoccult reason, to take the same watchful in- terest in the present case as he did during the ex- aminations beiore Coroner Rollins, and on his stating yesterday that he should like to ask the accused a dew question he was luformed that as he had noth- ing Whatever to do with the case his questions would not be allowed or replied to. Alter the above afiidavit had been read over Judge Dowling addressea the accused, and stated that if he chose he was at liberty to make any statement or auswer any questions that were put to him, BUT HE WARNED HIM that any statement he made woula be written down by those present, and he informed him, for his own. sake, that he was at liberty to refuse to make any statement or answer any questions. That must re- main with himself. Mr. FOWLER—We are desirous of having the fullest possible investigation into this matter. ‘The friends of the accused are all deeply pained ut the position THIS FOOLISH BOY * has placed them in, and if necessary Ihave witnesses here who can prove that on the night of the murder and on the following morn! he did not leave his father’s house at Roselle, New Jersey. The accused, being sworn, now intimated that he wished to make a statement, and after giving his age (twenty-two years) and his business as that of a lapidary, he said:—All | have to say is that I only told tuem what I read about itin the papers. J know nothing about the murder of Mr. Nathan except what I read. What they said about my clothes being bloody I am sure is not so. I never told Mr, Epting I was within four feet of Mr. Nathan when the fatal blow Was siruck. I NEVER SAW MR. NATHAN, Tremember the murder being committed on the 28th of July, I know that by what I have read and what has been told me by my folks elnce my arrest. 1 was at Roseile ou the night of the 28th of July, dur- ing the month of July and the early part of August last. 1 was at my father’s house, at elle, on that night; also my brothers, Arthur, Richard aad Ernest, and two servants, Who are now in court, were in the house. My father and mother were at Moque. Never saw tue ‘dog’? spoken of in connection with this murder. Never told any one that I saw It. Never said that “if certain parties would not do the right thing by me I would blow on them.” Never exp) any tears about being arrested by the police yhe city of New York. Have ro knowledge of any kind or description as to the murder of Mr. Benjamin Nathan. Tue Judge ordered this testimony to be read over to the accused, who afterwards signed it, after which he discharged. No one in court believed for 4 moment that this crgckbrained young man knew anything whatever concerning the murcer, and the fact that, having in view a participation in the rewards, neither the witnesses upon whose as- sertions the arrest was made or the blood-stained garments, of which so much was sald, were pro- duced, places the whole matter beyond doubt as to his Innocence and leads to the conclusion that Judge Dowling could do nothing else than discharge him. It is scarcely possible to attach any blame to the Police, as they are doubtless very eager to bring the perpetrator of this fout murder to justice and as anxious to receive the reward; but it would be wise to make more full and detailed inquiries before mak- ing arrests and placing whole families in_ a position a such as the present investigation has in- Wolved. ROSH HASHONOH. The Orthodox Observances on the Second Day—The Fast of Gudalyen. The orthodox of the Jews celebrate a second day to Rosh Hashonoh. The reason of this is the fact that, in old times, the prophets from the Holy City sent outa number of people to look for the new moon; in the city itself their report was immediately known, but not in the country, where the people waites for the next day, and hence the orthodox Jews, in obedience to the custom of their own fore- fathers, have continued to celevrate the second day. At the synagogue é SHAARAI TEFILA the same disposition of lights, the same display of porchas, or white covering of the thora, the same proiusion of the talieth, orrobe of prayer, and the same display of religious jewels could be seen as the day before. And thus it was at all the other syna- gogues of like character. But there was no sermon, ‘Wwe psalms and chants being sufficient to arouse the piety of the congregation. THE FAST OF GUDALYEA, however, May arouse them again to religious ac- tivity, especially it they read in the HERALD this morning what is written in the twenty-fiith chapter of Kings:— But it came to pass in the seventh month that shmael, the son of Neshamiah, the son of Elishanab, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedallah, that he And when they read of Jeremiah, in chapter forty- one, Verses one and two, of the same bloody trans- actions, then perhaps the Jews of New York will Gnd It necessary to fast. x CLUBBED TO DEATH. Information reached the Coroner's office yesterday shat Joseph Flynn, & man twenty-six years of age, bad died in Belleviue Hospital, to which he had been admitted on the 9th instant. The evening previous Flynn became involved in quarrel with some oughs, in the premises No. 3 West Houston street, during which he was struck on the head by a club jn the hands of some one unknown and sever‘ injured. Flynn has since been in the hospital and whether the injuries he received during the ght accelerated death must be determined by a st-mortem examination. Deceased lived at 225 ‘est street. Captain McDermott, of the Eighth pre- cinct, will make Vigilant efforts to secure the per- #on who assaulted deceased with the club, and also to learn the names and whereabouts of the others concerned in the affray. As soon as the necessary witnesses can be procured an official investigation ‘will be had inthe matter, but in the meantime a coroner's jury willbe empanelled and permission given the iriends of deceased to bury the bog. THE CEREMONIES AT PORTSMOUTH, N. A. ‘The Remains ef the Admiral Conveyed from the Church Vault to the #rigate Guerricre— Solemn Procession and Coremenice—Depar- ture of the Ships tor Now York, PortsmouTH, N, H., Sept. 27, 1870, ‘Tho final funeral ceremontes of the late Admiral David G, Farragut which were to take place here occurred to-day. They were simple and unosten- tatious, but exceedingly solemn. As the civic au- thorities of Portsmouth had already'testified their profound respect for the memory and reputation of the gallant Admiral at the time his remains were placed temporarily in the vault of the Episcopal charch in this city it was not deemed necessary to make any civic dispiay to-day. The sloop-of-war-Brooklyn, Captain John Guest, detailed by the Navy Department as convoy to the frigate Guerrlere, Captain Thomas H. Stevens, ar- rived yesterday, and such was the evident misap- prehension of Commodore Alden of the situation that she was ordered to bear tne remains of the great Admiral to New York. The foggy condition of affairs in Washington was only cleared away by President Grant, who understood how matters were expected to progress by the municipal authorities of New York, controlling the obsequies in your city, and gave such orders ag carried out in the hand- somest manner the programme of Mayor Hall and the Board of New York Aldermen. The frigate Guerriere was thus enabled to leave New York on Sunday last at about noon and reach here to-day at half-past eleven o’clock, making fast at the compass buoys at the entrance to the harbor, between Fol Constitution and McClary, where she awaited th: arrival of the corpse. The funeral ceremonies were extremely simple. ‘The battalion of marines of the station, under com- mand of Major Lewis, consisting of four companies, commanded by Lieutenants Webster, Ela and Wat- son, proceeded to the Episcopal church in Ports- mouth, headed by the marine band, and there formed in line at half-past two o’clock, At three o'clock Commodore A, M. Pennock, commanding the Navy Yard, accompanied by Lieutenant Loyal Farragut, of the Fifth artillery, son of the late Adini- ral, and Major Montgomery, late secretary of the Admiral, as chief mourners, arrived at the church. Soon alter Alderman Jerome, chairman of the Municipal Committee of New York; Rear Admiral Bailey, Brevet Major Gen- eral Graham and Paymaster Cunningham, of tne navy, representing the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, lately commanded by Admiral Farragut, ac- companied by Captain John Guest, of the yn arrived at the church, together with Rear Admiral Thatcher, Captain Thomas H. Stevens, of the Guer- riere, Captain D. M. Fairfax, Commander McCauley, Commander Badger, Lieutenant Commanders John- son, Cotton and Ryan; Surgeons Hiland and Hogg, Engineers Moore, mb and Upton; Paymasters Guild, Burnett, Watson, Brown, Williams and Wal- I Mayor Adams and Aldermen Miller and Newell, of Portsmouth, and the officers stationed here and at Boston. The procession moved at a little after three o'clock from the little church to the tug Speedwell, Edward E. Bradbury commanding, in the following order:— Band of Marines, Battalion of Marines, with arms reversed. CoMn, borne by sixteen men detailed from the Brooklyn and Vandalia. Commodore Pennock, Lieutenant Loyal Farragut and Major Montgomery as mourners. Officers of the station. Citizens generally. ‘The streets were thronged with people, and as the cortége moved down Daniel strect all heaas were uncovered and other marks of respect shown vy the citizens. . Apicked detatl of men who had served with the late Admiral carried bebind the cofin, which was enveloped in an American ensign, the old blue- starred pennant which Admiral Farragut had flown in European waters and the Stars and Stripes. Span Placing the coffin upon the Speedwell the flags of all the ships were half-masied, and the Vandalia fired seventeen minute guns. The shore battery and saluting battery of the station fired seventeen addi- Uonal minute guns as the tug proceeded down the Piscataqua river to the Guerriere, lying at its mouth. Upon reaching the Guerriere the yards of that splendid ship were manned, its flag hali-masted and every honor shown the remains and cortége, including a salute of seventeen minute guns. The following officers will accompany the remains from Portsmouth Navy Yara:—Commodore Pen- nock, Lieutenant Loyal Farragut, Major Mont- gomery, Paymasters Williams, Guild and Burnett, the latter three as committee from Portsmouth. The representatives from New York proceed in tbe Guerrlere, which sails Lis evening, accompanied by the Brooklyn. The California, not being ready, will not act as convoy in the affair. The Guerriere and her consort may be expected in New York on Thursday evening, if no bad weather occurs, The flag of Rear Admiral Bailey will be hoisted on the Guerriere. Commander Carpenter commanded the funeral arrangements, The marine Cg pee accompanies the Guerriere to New York. THE OBSEQUIES IN NEW YORK. What the Committee of the Common Council if Doing—Despatch from the Secretary of War—The Line of March of the Proces- sion—Secretaries Beiknap and Rebeson to be Present. But very little was done yesterday by the commit- tee appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the reception of the remains of the late Admiral Farragut. It would seem that the civic societies are slow in reporting to the Grand Marshal the strength of the bodies they desire to place in procession, and until that information 1s obtained General Webb cannot finally decide on the position of the force and other matters of importance. It being very desira- ble that ail the stores on the line of the procession should be closed, Ggneral Webb has sent out the fol- lowing ctreular:— SUPERVison’s OFFicr, Crry HALL, Sept. 26, 1870. Drar Sin—I have the honor to request that you will close your store and drape the front of your bullding on the occa- sion of the obseyates of the late Admiral Farragut. I re- main, &c., « 8. a Brevet Major General, U. 8. A., Grand Marshal. THE REMAINS TO AKRIVE TO-DAY, While the committee were in session yesterday in the new Court House a telegram was received from Alderman Jerome, from Portsmouth, stating that the Guerriere would leave that piace, with the remains on board, at six o’clock P, M., aud would arrive in New York to-day. ‘The following despatch from the Navy Department was received by the Mayor and referred to the Ob- sequies Committee:— WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 1870. Hon. A. OAKEY ALL, Mayor of New York: General McDowell notified that engine: Point would participate in ceremonies troops and band from Governor's Island if desired, WILLIAM W. BELKNAP, Secretary of War. It 18 expected that the entire arrangements for the procession and funeral will be perfected this even- ing and published tn the morning journals of Thurs- day. THE MILITARY will, it 1s thought, number about twelve thousand men, exclusive of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will parade as a civic body. The bulk of this will of course be the First division National Guard and the Second division (Brooklyn) militia, The marines at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, those of the men-of-war, the regular troops on Governor's Island, the engineers at Willet’s Point and six com- panies of United States artillery will make up the remainder of the estimated force. The addition of the Grand Army of the Republic (2,500 to 3,000 strong), the firemen and other semi-military bodies not yet reported tothe Marshal will make « most imposing procession. As already announced the President of the United States and all the members of the Cabinet will be present, Invitations have been sent to all the promi- nent statesmen of the State and country, and many have already telegraphed their acceptance. THE LINE OF MARCH, which is Qe only part of the arrangements decided on, will be as follows:—From the foot of Canal street, where the remains will be landed, up Canal street to Broadway, up Broadway to Fourteenth street, through Fourteenth street to Fifth avenue, up Fifth avenue to Forty-second street and through Forty-second street to Harlem Railroad depot. The committee of the Common Council, with Gen- eral Grand Marshal, will meet in to-day in the Supervisors’ room, in the new Court House, to re: ceive the names of all societies wishing to partici- pate, to assign them places in the procession and to complete the preparations for the obsequies of the dead hero. ops at Willet's 0a company of The Brooklyn Millitary Display.

CENTRAL AMERICA. Reign of Peace—The Elections—Discovery of Gold and Silver—Affairs in Panama—Tho Flour Monopoly—Whales—Matters in San Salvador, Honduras, Nioa- ragua and Guatemala. Panama, Sept 17, 1810, Since my last no events of any general importance have occurred. Turoughont the States of Colombia, as well as the republics bordering on the Pacific, there seems to be reiguing a sort of universal peace, each country, apparently, being occupied in improv- ing the material and educational progress of its people. The news from Bogota is to the 23d ult, The radi- cal party, who lately got up a revolution against the State authorities of Cundinamarca, has carried the elections for the convention decreed by the provi- sional government. ‘The radicals also gained the elections in Boyac4. In the State of Tolima gold and silver mines have been discovered in a great many parts. A large quantity of luggage belonging to the Gran General Mosquera had arrived at Calr. His period of exile being nearly up he is apparently preparing toreturn. It is hoped his advanced age and te ex- perience of the people will prevent him trying again Wo disturb the peace of the republic. In Panama quiet reigns. The Legislative Assembly is busy appointing judges and other officers. A slight disturbance occurred on the 12th inst. A propo+ sition from the Executive to pay Dr. L. Martinez, sur- geon of. the Pichincha battalion, stationed nere, $500 for having cured a gunshot wound in the heel of Colonel Goitia, was opposed in the Assembly. Dr. Martinez came in and insulted the President, telling him to go to the devil. The Assembly have requested the President of the State to procure his dismissal nee. Ax general government, by whom he is ap- inted, The two American citizens who wanted a monop- oly of all the flour introduced into the Isthmus have withdrawn their application. The majority of the Assembly were decidedly against it, as well as the people in general. ‘¢ have lost two old residents, and poth good men—Mr. T. R. Cowan, at Aspinwall, who died on the 9th inst., and yesterday, in the Grand Hotel, Mr. Samuel Currie, architect and American citizen. He died suddenly, of apoplexy. The bay for some time back has been remarkable for the number of whales to be seen almost every- where. Captain Aiken, of the Chilean-bark Concep- tion, states that he has had the best luck on record in the whaling business, having taken 1,800 barrels of humpback oil in the last sixty care, and on August 31 had suficient blubber alongside and on board to make 200 barrels more, but he had no more empty barrels. He adds that whales are to be “seen in abundance on every part of the coast, but that it requires @ smart man, & eye and a steady hand to make the havoc among them that he has done.” The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer Guayaquil arrived here on the 13tn inst, Sne 1s to replace the Talca, now under repairs. The Guaya- quil brings a very large cargo, bagaynong | of india rubber and Peruvian bark. As to news from Ecua- dor, sbe brings none except that showing this re- public to be the paradise of friars, Jesuits and Sis- ters of Charity. ‘The anniversaries of the independence of Mexico and Salvador have been kept with the usual con- sular displays. x! An attempt is about to be mage to introduce Chi- nese laborers here from California to work on a large sugar plantation belonging to an English com- pany, called the Bayano Estate Company. Our news by the Panama Railroad steamer Costa Rica, on the 15th inst., offers nothing of importance politically. In 7 GAUTEMALA there were still rumors of an intended mvasion from the side of Chiapas. SAN SALVADOR goes on improving and is busy carrying out the ex- tension of its telegraph lines. : HONDURAS talks of nothing but its ratlroad and mckel money; at NICARAGUA has at least‘a natural phenomenon, in the shape of a lake of minéral water calied Nejapa. The Nicara- gua papers still continue to speak of the wonderful cures effected by the outward and inward use of its waters. A boy, with elepnantiasis, was cured by three baths, a8 well as severe cases of rheumatism and gout; but the most curious effect of all is that an almost confirmed drunkard came to the baths to be cured of a cutaneous disease. It took fifteen days to cure him. The waters of Nejapa not only removed all his skin diseases, but also cured him of his love for strong liquors. Among the other virtues, the editor of the Nicaragua Gazette Classes that of being anti-alcoholic. A great boon to mankind, and more wonderful even than the re- cently discovered magnetic wells of Michigan. THE NATIONAL GAME. White Stockings vs. Mutuals—The Formér Victorious by a Score of 22 to 11—A Fine “Muffin” Game. The $18,000 nine, who came to this city last week, after defeating the Atlantics, went to Philadelphia and defeated the Athletics, and then came back here again to try conclusions with their old victors, the Mutuals. Owing to the frightful drubbing the “Mutes” gave them on their own grounds in Chicago a short time ago, they were very naturally a little shy of their antagonists, and when they went on the fleid yesterday it was quite evident they were by no means sure of coming out other than second best, Asan evidence that most every one expected to see them defeated, it 1s only necessary to state that the betting was very lively at 100 to 70 against them. But most dreadfuily were all hands disappointed. From whe very start they out-played the “Mutes” and batted Walters as he was never batted before, and, for the sake of the Mutuals, it is to be hoped he will never be batted again. Although the game resulted in favor of the White Stockings by a score of 22 to 11, they actually earned but three rans, while the New Yorkers earned two. To be sure they batted very heavily, but nearly all their runs were secured by the most. palpable and unjustifiable errors and “muffs” on the part of the Mutuals, Indeed, as an exhibition of first class muffinism the playing of the last named club was almost without a precedent. To say that they became nervous and excited is worse than no excuse at all, for men who are paid to play ball are not supposed to lose their equilibrium merely because they are out-batted or their opponents lead them a few runs. in the very first inning Ed. Milis muffed @ ball thrown to him by “Charlie” Mills, In the next inning C. Mills let a ball pass him, which gave aman his second base, and then he made a wila throw, which gave a man hisrun. Martin muffed a fly ball, as did also Pat- terson, in the third inning. Walters muffed balls in both the fourth and sixth innings. Eggter also muitfed a fly in the sixth, and Neison made a ‘earful throw, which gave Cuthburt a run. In the seventh inning Patterson again mutfed a fly, Walters made wild pitches and Charlie Mills let the balls pass him several times. Im the eighth inning no ore but Master Nelson muffed, In the ninth Hatfleld musfed two balis; Eggier made a wild throw which gave two men their rans; E. Mills muffed two balls that were thrown to him—one of them, however, being excusable, as Hatfield sent the ball as hard as he could drive it, when there was no cause for any hurry—and Charlie Mills let halt a dozen balls pass him while men were on che bases. Swandell is the only man who played at ail decently on tne Mutual side, and dia not commit any errors during the ame.. Had this been the Atlantic instead of tne lutual Club it would have been declared that the game was “‘thrown."’ Being otherwise it ts a ‘most creditable victory” for the gentlemen from the city of skunks. On the part of the White Stockings there was considerable mufling done, but nothing to be com- pared to that of the ‘Mutes,’ ‘The following score will fully explain the whole game:— WHITE STOCKINGS.

The three last named made the only in- teresting part of the race, as they struggled very hard for place. TROTTING AT MYSTIC PARK, MASS. Opening of the Fall Moeting—Two Fine Races—Belle of Toronto and Colonel Russell the Winners—Coming Events. * Boston, Sept. 27, 1870. The opening of the fall meeting at Mystic Park to- day was marked by many auspicious omens. Be- sides the very large attendance which was present there were the not usual concomitants of a clear sky, light southwest breeze and a manifestation of general good feeling everywhere. The track, which, by the way, is called the fastest in the country, was in ex- cellent condition, with little dust, and nothing which could retard the speed of the horses. THE FIRST RACE of to-day was for horses which had never beaten 2:40, fora purse of $500—$300 to the first, $15u to the second and $50 to the third. There were origi- nally twenty-four entries for this race; but only eight horses appeared, taking positions as follows:— Thomas Furlong’s r. g. Andy Johnson, pole; H. H. Rogers’ b. 8s. Young Webster, W. H. Woodruf’s b. g. Diamond, James Dugrey’s b. m. Fanny Lambert, E. L. Norcross’ r. m. Lady Moscow, George P. Carpen- ter’s g. m. Belle of Toronto, A. W. Worcester’s b. g.

First Heat.-When the word was given for the first beat the gray mare took the lead, followed by Logan, Richmond Boy, Diamond and Webster, with scarcely a length between. Lady Moscow fell back tothe rear. Richmond Boy darted ahead and took the pole, holding itto the third quarter, when the Belle of Toronto took it away from him, winning by two lengths, Time, 2:3534. Secona Heat.—Richmond Boy and the Belle of To- ronto broke away from the crowd after getting the word, and fought for the first position. As they passed the quarter t.e mare forged ahead, taking at the half mile alead of two lengths, with which he jogged easily under the wire. Time, 2:36, Third Heat.—Richmond Boy was sent off with a lead of a rod or more, passing the quarter pole one length ahead of the mare, who was scarcely her sulky’s breadth before the bay gelding Diamond, Carpenter urged his horse to the lead and quickly ut three lengths of daylight between himself and his competitors. The horses came in in about this order, the Belle winning the heat in 2:33; Andy Johnson distanced.

Colonel Russell was the favorite in the pools at long odds, Medoc standing second and Palmer third. First Heat.—On receiving the word at the first heat Colonel Russell was a full length behind, while the others were all bunched together. Mary soon made} a path for herself, however, and took a Jead of two and a half lengths, keeping on her feet all the while and trotting splendidly. Prince ushed heavily after her, and Medoc was not slow. Lolone! Russell threw himself badly into the air, and it was evident that he had no chance for winning the heat. He recovered his footing enough to take the fourth position at the homestretch and preserved itto the end. Mary won the heat by twice her length, Time, 2:28'4. ‘he pools then sold at the rate of 115 on Mary against. 80 for Colonel Ri Second Heat.—The horses scored several times be- fore getting the word, their movements finally ne- cessitating a peri of one of the judges at the starting flag. When the word was finally Fate the Buckskin horse was two lengths to the front and took the pole, He had not bottom enough to keep it, however, and fought the air while Mary came outside of him and assumed the first position, Mc- Ciellan second, the Colonel third, Prince fourth, Doble put the whip on his horse till he had brought him close upon Mary’s heels, then Mapping her. An exciting contest took place to the half-mile pole, where the Colonel assumed tie position to which his rank seemed to entitle him, and won the race by two lengths in 2:27%. Mr. Doty received permission to draw Lady Augusta, she having cut ner quarters badly in this heat. Russell stock then recovered from its temporary depression, and there were many who, hitherto reluctant to risk their money, were willing to back him at $100 to $80 against the feld. Third Heat.—McClellan was sent off on a dead run, and did not recover his feet until after he had rounded the first turn. Colonel Russell trotted beautiflly to the front, followed by Prince, Mary, Palmer, Medoc, McClellan and Knapp, in the order as named, These positions were preserved for another quarter, Roden hugging closely to his leader; but on entering the homestretch his horse broke badly, and Mary took the second place. In this posi- tion the horses came under the wire, Time, 2:27%. McClellan was then withdrawn. Fourth Heat.—The horses could not have received a better send-off. They were nicely bunched toge- ther, and neither seemed to possess an advantage.

The department 13 always anxious to have parties call who find the water bad, and they at once send to have it remedied. When the Croton Department was reorganized under the new charter they found the pipe yard empty of seve- ral 81Z¢s of service pipe. Contracts have been made and the pipes are now being delivered and lata, making connectlons wits dead ends as rapidly as the pipes arrive. The extremely warm and dry weather of the last two months has so reduced tie natural Dow ot the Croton river as torender the supply of water entirely inadequate to the wants of thecity. Knowing the failure of the depariment last year to supply the wants of the city during the months of August and September, Mr. Tweed early in the season sent the chief engineer of the department to Putnam county to ascertain if an additional supply could be ob- tained. Numerous large lakes of pure water were found and several secured. On Friday the chief engineer was at the receiving reseryoir, and, finding the water not satisfactory, he went to Putam county and yesterday telegraphed:—“Have sent down to-day over fifty millions of gallons.’? ‘This water ts from the lakes, and no better is to be found. It comes irom the granite region of Putnam. Had not these measures been adopted by the de- partment the city would be now almost without Water, this season having been drier than last, pore the consumption tucreases with the growth of @ city. While the Delaware and Hudson Canal has been without water for the last ive weeks and the boats lying on the mud, aud the whole country complain- ing of the drought, the Department of Public Works has kept up afullsupply of water for the city, in compliance with the law, which says, ‘They shall be responsible for the supply of water.’ On the 26th of September one year ago to-day the water in the receiving reservoir was down twenty- two feet, and several of the mains that supply the city closed, or the gates nearly closed; white to-day the water ‘is only two and one-half feet down and tye gates wide open. The manufacturers say that they had no trouble about the water this year, and that it is the first for many years. A Case in Point. New York, Sept. 26, 1870. To THE £PITOR OF THR HERALD:— I have just read your editorial on our impure Croton water. Allow me to say that the water sup- plied in my house, in Washington place, and also in Several of my tenement houses, is unfit for use, even for washing purposes at times, being filled with tadpoles and animalcule of all sizes aud kinds. T. F. G., 446 Broome street. The Croton Aqueduct. On the same general subject we publish the fol- lowing card from the Engineer of the Croton aque duct: On returning to the city after an absence of three days at the upper sources of the Croton river upon Oficial business, I find that a statement has ap- peared in one or more daily newspapers: Coordin 3 Mr. Tweed, the Commissioner of Public Works, wit receiving from the clty treasury $250,000 for water rights to furnish an additional supply of water to jueduct, which rights he had bought $25,000. Tne statement is, within my know- ledge, untrue and unjust to him. lbelieve it is known to many that [ became en- gineer of the Croton aqueduct in May last, vy ap- pointment of Mr. Tweed, with whom I was very slightly acquainted, and without solicitation on the part of myself or my friends. Upon assuming the duties of the office he directed me at once to make a thorough examination of the sources of supply of water, and report it to him with the suggestion of measures which might be necessary to prevent tne possibility of a deficiency, such as was threatened during the last year, and which would have leit the city practically without water if the drought had lasted for forty- eight hours longer than itdid, I found that adam had been partly completed across one of the confiuents of the Croton river with a view to reserve the waters h it in floods. it was notin a condition to be used during the present season, aud, indeed, tf completed. could turuishfno supply until the autumnal rains should fill the reservoir made by thedam. | also ascertained that the water of seve- ral lakes in Putnam county might be drawn into the Croton river and furnish ap adequate supply for the city during any drought that might reasonably be expected, “These were so situated that a connection with the Croton could be prepared with great ra- pidity, and their purchase could be ettected at @ reasonable price. I reported the facts to Mr. ‘weed. An examination was at once made to ascer- tain whether there were any moneys under the con- trol of the department which might be used for the urpose. It was iound that there were none. Mr. reed thereupon directed me to make the purchase of any such water rights as I deemed necessary to insure the city a sutlicient supply of water; to do it as cheaply as I could and he would furnish the ne- cessary means to pay for them and turn them over to the city at the price paid whenever the proper legislation could be procured for their purchase. 1 accordingly made the purchases and had the waters turned into the Croton river above the Croton dam. The quantity supplied trom these sources has for several weeks varied from thirty to sixty millions of gallons per day. Without it the city would for some time past have been left without water. ‘The water taken is of the very purest to be found anywhere. Most of the lakes are chiefly supplied by springs, and their waters are of very great purity and transparency. The purchase at $25,000 1 suppose refers to that of the water rights ot Lake Gilead. Imade the purchase, received the money from Mr. Tweed to pay for it, and took the deed in Mr. Tweed’s name and leit it for record in the Clerk’s office. He never saw the lake, did not, and Ibelieve does not now know, who owned it, and I know he never saw the deed. It was purchased what I believed a reasonable price and with a view to sell it to the city at ine same price, and the result of the purchase is that the city is now supplied with such an abundance of water as it has only had for many years past during wet seasons. EDWARD H. TRACY, Chief Engineer of the Groton Aqueduct. SEPTEMBER 27, 1870. THE SWABIANS. Second Day of th mstatter Volksfest—A Grand Festival. ‘The second day of the national festival of the War- tembergers iny New York, at Jones’ Wood, was cele- brated yesterday, and the event eclipsed in magni- tude any similar affair that has occurred this year. At least 25,000 people were in attendance, and the spacious grounds resounded with music and hilarity. 8 before stated in the HERALD, this festival 1s in Imitation of the annual fair in ‘Wurtemberg, ‘where the crops, fruits and flowers of the season are dis- | sib in almost every possible manner that can in- jicate the fulness of the harvest and give beauty to the scene. The feature of yesterday’s proceedings consisted nd allegorical procession, representing rmany. The procession formed at the car- riage entrance tothe grounds, and, preceded by a band playing the national Prussian anthem, was composed of a cavalcade personating King William, the Crown Prince, Prince Frederick Charles, Bis- marck and General Moltke, a long train of peasants in the costumes of Wurtemberg and other German districts, and a chariot bearing the coat of arms of each German State and conveying a group of beau- tiful ladies, dressed to allegorically represent the several States. The distinguished German person- were exceliently personated by the follow- in, gentlemen, in the respective uniforms belonging to their assum rank: —King William, Anthony Walter; Crown Prince, E. Wolder; Prince Frederick Charles, Albert Pili: guard; Bismarck, Charles Chelius; Moltke, C. Meyer. Misa Martha Wiesener personated Germania, and with German banners, uniforms, music and costumes one could almost imagine himself in Wurtemberg, as the cannon roared a salute and the people cheered and tossed their hats to the passing king and his gorgeous suite, After the cavalcade had marched around tne grounds the procession dispersed, and everybody gave himself up to ae enrexte of the day. Ger- my booths ios] ereci 2 pa seen. , singing, picnicking and the usual 5} jong- ing'to Jones! Wood were prolonged tiiliate at night. To-day is the last of the festival, which concludes With interesting tableaux, An article which appeared in Monday's HenaLp calling attention of tne Oroton Aqueduct Board to ‘the stagnant condition of the water in the old re- veiving reservoir has called fortn the following communication from an official in the Department SEDAN. Bismarck’s Report to King Willism on the Cspitulation of Sedan. r m ‘We give below the full text of the report from Count Bismarck to King William regarding the capitulation of Sedan, @ summary of which has already appeared in the columus of the HERALD:— Donouwery, Sept. 2. 1870, Atter I had repatred hither last evening by your Majesty’s command, in order to take part in the ry tions as to the capitulation, they were inter- rupted till about one A. M. by the granting of time for consideration. ‘This General for after General Moltke had firmly declared that no sumed at nine A, M. if the capitulation were not reviously concluded. » Barly this morning to n o’clock General Rellle was announced to me, e informed me that the Emperor wished to see nd was alt on his way from Sedan, eral imm turped back in order to tell bus Majesty ny 1 was following him, and shortly afterwards, half way between bere and Sed: the vicinity of Frénois, 1 found myself opposit Emperor. His Majesiy was tn an open pacriaap s three superior afMicers, aud with alike numl horseback close CR Among the lutter Castelnau, Reille, Moskowa, p appeared in the foot, and Vaubert, were pe:sonally known mie. Arrived at the carriage I ounted, ste] up immediately to et ag “A eee awe Majesty 's rain an the Ein, a Wisl Majesly, apparently that oar waa at Donchery. After I had re- plied that your Majesty's headquarters were at the moment tliree (German) miles eyes Aare igre the Emperor asked whether any pi had veer fixed in the locality whither he might repatt, and, in fine, what my opinion was on the matter. I re plied that I had come here when it was quite dark, the country being unknown to me, pod ne aan his disposal the house occupied py me at Donch ry Which 1 would at once vacate, The Bm| accépted this, and proceeded towards La chery, but halted avout 100 paces from the Meuse bridge leading into the town! before a working man’s house stan by itself, and asked whether he could not dismount there. I sent Count Bismarck Bohlen, who, in the interim, had followed me to in- spect tne house, and alter he had announced that tte interna accommodation Was very poor and narrow, but that it was free from wounded, the Emperor dis- mounted and directed me to follow him inside, Here, tu @ very smail room, contaming one table and two chairs, I had about an hour's conversation with the Emperor. His Majesty was extremely anxious to obtain more favorabie terms ot capitula- tion for the army. 1 docitned to discuss this matter with his Majesty, when 60 purely military a question ‘was pending between General Moitke and General Wimpiten. On the other hand | asked the Emperor whether his Majesty was iuclined to negotiate for peace, The Emperor repiied that, as a prisoner, he ‘was not now tn @ position to do so, and on my further question by whom, in his view, the execu- tive authority of Trance was at present represented, his Majesty referred me to the govern ment at Paris, After the clearing up of this point, which from the Emperor's lettcr of yesterday to your Majesty coula not be certainly j of, I per- Celved, and aid not conceal this from the Emperor, that the situation, to-day as yesterday, offered no ocher practical question thanthe mulitary one, and I signiiled the necessity which therefore rested om ‘us Of obtaining, belore all things, through the tulation of Sedan, & material pledge for the stabullty of the military results already achieved. I pad already yesterday event considered the question on all ides with General Moltke whether it would be possible, without pranaiee to German pe cre to offer more favorable conditions than those laig down, in deference to the military feeling of honor of an army which had fought weil. After due con- sideration we had felt ourselves obliged to settle this queation in the negative. When, therefore, General Moltke, who meanwhile had come from the town, went to your Majesty for the purpose of lay- ing before you the Emperor’s wishes, this was not, as your Majesty knows, with the mtention of sup porting them. ‘The Emperor then went out into the open air and invited me to sit by him betore the door of the house, His Majesty submitted to me the question whether it was not B Aictigge to allow the French army to cross the Belgian frontier, in order that they might be disarmed and ‘“nterned.” J had already, the , previous evening, conversed on this eventuality with General Moltke. As regarded the political situ atton, I on my side did not take the initiative, nor did the Emperor, except that he deplored the mis- fortune of war, and adirmed that he himself had not desired war, but had been forced into it by the pressure of pubiic opinion in France. Through inguiries in the piace, and especially through a search by oMicers of the general staif, it had meantime, between nine and ten o'clock, been ascertained that the Chateau of Bellevue, near Frénows, was suited to the reception of the Emperor, and, moreover, was not occupied by wounded. mentioned this to nis Majesty, ixing Frénois as the place which 1 should propose to your Majesty for the interview, and accordingly put it to tne Emperor whether his Majesty would wish to proceed thither at once, as to remain within the Small workingman’s cottage was inconvenient, and the Emperor would possibly require some rest. His Majesty gladly acquiesced, and I accom- panied the Emperor—a guard of honor of your Ma- Jesty’s body-culrassier regiment preceding him—to the chateau of Bellevue, where in the mterim the Emperor’s additional suite and equipages, the arrival of which out of the town ull then ap- eared uncertain, had come from Sedan. General Yimpifen also arrived, with whom, in expeccation of the return of General Moltke, the discussion of the capitulation negotiations, broken off yesterday, ‘was renewed by General Podbieisky, in the presence of Lieutenant Colonel Verdy and General Wimpffen’s chief of the staff, both which officers drew up the protocol. I only took part in them by sxetching the political and legal situation according to the explan- ations given me by the Emperor himself, From Count Nostiz, commissioned by General Moltke, I i received the annonncement that your would see the Emperor only after the con- clusion of the capitulation—an intimation om which the hope on the other side of ob- taining other conditions than those laid down was given up. I rode off upon this with the intention of informing your Majesty of the position of affairs towards Donchery, but on the way | mes General Moltke with the text of the capitulation ap- proved by your Majesty; and thus, after we wens With bim to Frénois, was then accepted and signed without dispute. The conduct of General Wimpifen, as also that of the other French generals the pre- vious night, was very becoming. That brave oficer could not refain from expressing to me his great pain at being called on, forty-eight hours after his arrival from Africa and half a day alter taking the command, to subscribe his name to a capitulation 80 deplorable for the French nation. Want of pro- visions and munitions, however, and the absolute impossibility of any further defence imposed on him as a general the duty of restraining his personal Teelings, as further bloodshed could not alter the situation, ‘the concession o! the release of the omi- cers on thelr word cf honor was accepted with warm thanks, as an expression of your Majesty’s inten- tion not to overstep the limits which our political and military interests made necessary with regard to the feelings of an army which had fought bravely. To this sentiment General Wimpften afterwards gave expression ina letter, in which he thanked General Moltke for the very considerate manner in which the negotiations were on his side conducted.
