THE GENERAL'S ARRIVAL. ‘The General left Boston on the 6:30 train by the Boston and Albany Ratlroad, and arrived here at the home of that venerable regretter and deplorer in the republican ranks—who, oy the way, is re- gretting and deploring since the New Bedford orate @ great deal more than ever—at a quarter past slxX o’clock, in company of Mr. Franklin Hanchett, leading boot and shoe manufacturer, whose guest he was on the ocvasion. Quite a crowd had assem- bled at the depot. Platforms, doors and roadway were lively with frisky gamins and country belles, to say nothing of the yeomanry of the county, who were anxlous to catch a glimpse of the General, and ashe stepped from the train with hat cocked back on his head in such @ Manner as to give bim a most relreshing and débonnaire appearance, and pushed his way througn tne crowd, he was greeted wiih a series of prolonged cheers and yells, whieh the per- formance of “Hall to tne Chieo py the Ashland cornet band in the background served only to render the more enthusiastic. ‘There ue is; there's old Ben!” “Bully for the old chap!’ and some of those innumerable desultory cries which are always suggestedinthe mind of the small boy. The genius of the General ran through the lookers on, and many scrambied up to be near him and if possible shake hands with him, but Mr. Hanchett soon puta stop to all this by having the General jammed into a hack—valise, scrapbook, carpetbag and all—and whirled off to his residence, There the General had supper. THE MEETING. The meeting took place in Winch’s Hall, on the main street of the town, It was, of course, @ full and interesting one, and not even the reflection that from the pyramtas of three score years the eyes of Senator Wilson were viewing them could deter tye assembly from hearing and rejoicing with the General. Probably fifteen hun- dred persons were present, The band played; the Smail boys yelled and mewed very lke a cat cally the ladies waved their hanakercmiefs; the crowd parted, and at precisely a quarter to eight o'clock the orator entered the hail, supported by Mr. Hanchett and Mr. E. 8. Saunders, the Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, who called the meeting to order. Mr. Hanchett presided, and in- troduced the General in the following terms:— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :—In 1861, when President Lincoln issued his call for 75,000 men, mn response to that call Governor Andrew issued his call for the | quota of Massachusetts, all of which created an immense sensation throughout the land. 1t was on the 15ta of April, 1861, Monday morning, that tle proclamation came out in all the papers.

The cargo consists of {Umber and deals, shipped for the port of Liverpool. Collector Potter in person cleared tne ship. hile engaged in this business, and while my consignee here and several other merchants of this place were present and in sight ana hearing, an Inspector of Customs, named hagaer 7 Schultz, com- plained to me of an_ alleged dereliction on my part in not having exnibited the lights ‘prescribed by American regulauions con- stantly while in the port. I repiied that I was not required so to do, He then became very abusive, using the most gross, violent personal me eo towards me, even calling mea liar. The indig tion of the bystanders was great and was freely ex- pressed; but Mr. Collector Potter, by utter silence, gave bis implied assent thereto. About five P.

Boston, Sept. 21, 1871. There has been no very appreciable change in the aspect of affairs at the various political headquar- ters in this city since my despatch of last night, The friends of General Butler are much elated at his prospects for atiaining the Gubernatorial nomi- nation, while the opposition appears somewhat downcast. There can be no question but that both Dr. George B. Loring, who early in the campaign was thought to be the General's most formidable competitor, has kept himself very shady of late, It is stated that he has been outflanked tn his own county by the redoubtable Ben, and we knowledge of this fact, coupled with the lack of energy on the part of his supporters, may induce him to retire from the contest. Should Dr. Loring arrive at this tlon will be narrowed down to a triangular contest between Messrs, Butler, Alexander H. Rice and ex- Congressman Washburne, unless, inded, the friends newman, At the present outlook, however, this lat- ter contingency does not seem likely to take place, ‘The indications seem rather to point to a flerce and biuler struggle at Worcester, and eventually Butler Will pe at the top of the heap.

The ma- lence, and to judge from the sh«dow that at the close overspread his countenance it was evident he aid not relish it at all; but he got up, shook him- self ont, and begun his speech as follows:— WHAT BUTLER SAID, FELLOW CITIZENS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:— Thanking your chairman for his kind and com- plimentary introduction, I desire now to confer with you upon the very important business which has id the General told what he Knew about farming once more, the State debt, the abuse of the newspapers, that le well siuck to, &c, &c, The Jeneral’s allusion 0 the Journal were not liked by many present, for the applause was light, and when he anill- madverted on that, “lle well, &c.,’7a man in the andience excitedly broke out with, ‘He's a liar !? “Now, gentlemen,’’ exclaimed the General, depre- catingly, “don’t interrupt me.’? 40 ahead,'? urged somebody, encouragingly. ‘Don’t interrupt me,"’ repeated the General, “because all these inter- ruptions will be put into the Boston Journal as evidence that the people of Natick are not an orderly, well condncted people.

Terrible Sterma on the B: a Islands— Great Destraction of Lifo and Property. A general statement has been received here of the effects of the recent storms on the Bahamas. The gale—or @ succession of gales—was terrific, the storm shifting {rom the northeast to the southeast, Tne whole coasts of the islands are strewn witn wrecks, Irom which much valuable property and many lives have been destroyed. Sweeping through the island of Abacco the storm completely divided it into two islands, carrying with its violence a large number of inhabitants who have been victims of its fury. A large amount of property ‘was also carried away as by the besom of destruc- ' tion and probably buried in the sea, The ripe fruit crop of the various islands composing the group ; has been entirely swept away, and it was found tin- possible to get a cargo. Nothing remains of the orange or banana crop bui the very young growth, and the trade 14 these fruits has been very seriously disturbed. Meeting of the Ku Kinx Committee.

Norwatx, Conn., Sept. 21, 1371. A most distressing casnaity happened about ong mile above the town this morning at six o'clock, arousing the neighborhood, who awoke but wo fing that a terrifle explosion by gunpowder had takem place. It was s00n ascartained \t proceeded from the house of Mr. Willlam J. Muls, on James street, near the Silver Mine road, and occupied by Horatio T, Cook, On proceeding thither a moat horrible sight presented itself. The house was Iteraily rent in twain, its east end blown out, the roof lifted, windows gone, eeiling demolished, and all on fire. But the most sickening sight waa | the blackene!t and disfigured corpse of poor Cook, which lay thrown back, buried in the burning d¢bris, Mrs. Cook was also found seriously tajuredt and in @ most pitiad! condition. Crazed by the — concussion was frantically | throwlng herself about in her mght ciorhew 1 screaming for aid. The first efort was to ex- guish the flames, which was soon done, whem Cook was removed to the house of a ueighbor- furnishes the following account of the circum stance preceding the atfair:— itis Known that Mr. Cook belongs to a family pre~ disposed to insanity, und Horatio when @ lad was kicked in the head by a horse, from which he has no’ doubt speciaily suffered, He was in the insane asy- lum at Hartford two years, some tive or six years ago. During the last few weeks he has been tl from | intermittent’ fever and congestion of the brain. In consequence of this illness he had oc- cupied the largest of two adjoining bedrooms, | and Mrs, Cook the smaller one. Just before day- | lignt, he having a chill, called his wife up and de~ | aired her to lle down beside him, ‘This she did, and, | failing asleep, he quietly arose and went into her ;toom, where, at the foot of the bed, there had been stored a keg about half full of blasting powder, which le used in his business as & rockbiaster, It would | seem from the position of the rematns that he moved the key out from the bed, laid himself over it and touched It off, Previous vw exploding the powder he had carefully gathered up all of Mrs. Cook's clothing in the upper part of the house, and thrown them down the cellar with a view of their preserva- tion, thus showing entt leliberation in planning his own destruction. To the fact that the house was very slightly built and the windows up and the bedroom doors open may be attrib» uted the almost marvellous escape of Cook—the oniy other occupant of the house at the time, ‘This morning when we visited the premises shreds of bedding, clothing and charred fragmenta he of the building were smouidering for many about the house. The remains are shock- ingly blackened and burned; but not so the badly mutilated as would be supposed, hut nothing 80 horrible and sickening to behold has ever trans- ired in this community since the shocking draw- Bridge accident at South Norwalk in May, 1853. Memories of that event are brought up by tvis awful occurrence. OUT OF THE DEPTHS. Relics from the Lost Monitor Weehawkea— Naval Arrangements for the Obsequies.
