We learn from Washington that Santa Anna wag the day before yesterday in consultation with Seccre- tary Seward and yesterday with Secretary Welles. It is rumored that he is well satisfied with the result of his interviews. Several Americans who have pur- chased a large amount of Mexican bonds are said to be willing to cobperate with Santa Anuna if the validity of their bonds is recognized. One of them, Mr. Crawford, bad, yesterday au interview of two hours and a half with President Johnson. Coxxgcticut held Town Elections yestorday in many of her towns, and the aggregate result stows overwhelming’ gains to the Republican-Unionista. They have carried almost every town where they seriously tried, including quite a number that were against them last Spring.- Among these are Seymour, which never before went Republican, as well as Dan- bury, which we lost at the State Election. There is acarcely a township which does not ghow a decided Republican gain in the popular vote. So it is wh ever a people who can read are enabled to pass jadg- ment on * My Policy. The *Mexicap muddie,” as it is called, becomes more turbid every day. The convention recently concluded between Napoleon and Maximilian has, it seems, made the Mexican bondholders sanguine, and there has been a sudden rise in the price of their bouds. Either these bondholders bave strong faith in Maximilian’s ability to hold hig position in Mexico, or they calculate upon a renewed French, or rather poleonic, intervention, in the event of the overtlyow of the so-called Empire, and the consequent repudia- tion of debts contracted under the Imperial régime, regarded by a large party in Mexico as a wicked usurpation.

IMPROVEMENTS IN GOLD-MIN. ‘Wao bslieve that the time has not yet come for exten- mive aud systematic Mining for the Precious Metals in either Colorado or Nevada—much less in Montana or 3daho. Wasking for gold in river-beds, past or present, {8 quite another matter. This may be done at any timo, ‘where the dgposits are rich aud extensive; but Mining from veins inclosed by solid rock requires lasge capital, abundant labor, with reasonably cheap food; and these wre not found or cannot be relied on in new territorics romote from cities and from civilization. Not till the Pa- eific Reilroad shall have reached them—which canpot be till near tho close of 1867—will Nevada and Colorado be ready for extensive and profitable Mining. Meantime, the work immediately in hand is thorough i shafts to ascertain the courses and richness of voins, and the jmprovement of Mining pro. cesson, To this last end, much attention is being paid, and with promise of important results, To the processes already noticed, we now 8dd that of Prof. Thomas D. ‘Worrall, of thid city sud Colorado. Rogarding the presence in the veinstone of Bualphur, Arsenic, and other minerals suscepti- ble of velatilization by heat, as the great obstacle to sucoess in working the sulphurets of Colorado, snd Deing satisfied that the processes hithertp in use fail to ize the vein-stone properly aud thoroughly, Prof. ‘Worrall has devoted much time and effort 1o the con- struotion of a furnace which will insure cheap and perfect desulpharization and & consequent separation of the precious ‘metals through the action of quicksilver. His aim was to pproduce a regulated, gradual passage of the finely pulver- §zed vein-stone through the intense heat of a furnace, so a8 to secure the complete expulsion of the Sulpbur, &ec.; ana ha soetns to bave perfectly succeefied. The Copper, Mwflymmflm sulphurets of Colorado, is his lost by those in 3 T et e e o , while eliminating the Precious Metals at a very cost. ‘We @0 not attempt to describe these devices and pro- , since none of those they specially intorest would .should) take anything ontrust: they must see and _for themselves.

Whas in such case, would the bondholders do? Look, of course, to the French Government to protect their interests, Aud how could that be done save by armed intervention 1s this convention, then, to serve as a pretext for per- sistence in the Emperor Napoleon's policy with regard to Mexico? The ‘‘muddle” gets thicker and thicker, A dispatch from Leavenworth, Kansas, to the Associated Press, yesterday, denied the truth of a special telegram to Tae TRIBUNE, accusing the Indians of murdering the whites. That telegram was specific in its statements, declariog that 150 whites had been killed by the Indians, and that the road from Laramie to Powder River was filled with graves of murdered men. The denial of it is merely general, and our report ‘is merely said to be o gross exaggeration. Hitherto we have found our Leavenworth correspondent trustworthy, and are not 80 sure that these stories of Indian massacres are un- founded, and that Indian affairs are not culpably mis- managed. Our dispatehes, as published, also stated that ** the troops of Col./Catrington complained of bis cowardice, and that Col. Maynadier, of Laramie, is said to have issued orders that the first white who killed an Indian should be taken and given to Indians to be dealt with, There is great complaint against Maynadier and his officers for keeping and feeding Indian women at the Forts.” As written, they were far stronger in their language. If these accusations are false, we shall gladly publish the fact; but the vague mauner in which they are denied is in itself suspicious. The Government should look ivto the matter, for if half of what our correspondent states be true, the army is disgraced by its representatives on the Indian frontier. The manjfesto of the English Reform League i cludes, asone of the points on which amended Parlia- mentary representation of the people is demanded, vote by ballot. It has been the fashion with the anti- Reformers to decry the ballot, and extol the Borough system, drawing, of course, their illustrations of the evils of the former from the experience, or what they fancied was the experience, of the United States, In the revelations which are taking place before the Com- missions now sitting in England to investigate cortain cases of bribery, we have at length authentic testi- mony of the beauties and excellencies of the latter. According to the late Lord Palmerston, voting by bal- lot was eminently *“ un-Esglish”—it was virtually an appeal to the craven fears of men. Under the Bo- ough system, however, it would appear, according to the evidence taken before the said Commissions, that in English elections the political manipulator plays upon a.more questionable sentiment than that of fer, It turns ont, in fact, that the Borough system is another name for wholesale bribery. It is eminently suggestive—nay, it is decidedly edifying—to note with what facility those who denounce the ballot as de- grading in its tendency can lend themselves to the patriotic and homorable business of purchasing votes. It is *‘un-English” to vote secretly; but it is not ‘“un-English" to put a tnnty-pv_nnd Bank of England note into the hands of a poor and needy man as an ipducement for him tovote in a certain way. Horoics are frequently very fine; but we fear they are some- In 1264, our State was carried by smail majorities —6,749 for Lincoln over McClellan, and 8,203 for Fenton over Seymour, in a total of 730,821 votes. We have always believed that these majorities were reduced by fonl voting and fraudulent changes of soldiers’ ballots—that our fair majority at that elec- tion was abeut 20,000, Last year, our adversaries confidently expected to carry the State. Their State Ticket was in good part made up of men who bad been prominent Repub- licans; Montgomery Blair stumped our State in its Dbehalf, arm-in-arm with John Van Buren, whispering in the ears of the gelect few that Andy Johnson was «all right,” and would give them *‘the ‘spoils” if they would carry the State; Lieut.-Gov. Campbell, Judge Edmonds, and lots of smaller fry, turned against us; and a superficial observer must have sup- posed that we wore doomed to defeaf; yet we catried the State by 27,857 majority: the several Coun- ties giving majorities as follows: For Barlow, Union, Sec. of State Oneida .. 2,715 Allegany. Broome. Cattaraugus. Cayuga . Chenango - Clinton . Cortland Delaware . Dutchess. Erie .. Essex. A Franklin g 935 Falton and Hamilton 2066 Genesee... L1081 Herkimer . 1,058 Jeffereon 37 Lowis . . 52 Livings! . 893 Madison A7 Monroe LLA16 Niagara . 24 Majorities for Slocum, Albany 157 Chemung. 11 Columbia, 155 i 468 Montgomery. New-York Patnam — The aggrogate of Democratic majorities in all the Counties outside of this City was bat gate which St. Lawrence alone wiil overbear next month. And it is our confident conviction that neither these nor the City majorities can now be increased. In other words, we believe that all the County major- ities for Hoffman will not exceed 30,000, while we are equally sure that the Connties which go for Fenton will roll up an aggregate majority of at least 60,000 If the October Elections should sorely disappoint us, Gov. Fenton's majority will be less; if they go overwhelmingly for us, it will be greater. Should it seefn that the bottom had fullen out of the Jobnson coalition, that majority may exceed 50,000, The bright prospeet thus afforded will by no means induce our friends to relax their exertions, They | will work the harder bocause they foel and know that | they are not spending their strength for naught. And it is most desirable, on every account, that the loyal States should so speak that there cau be no' dispute or cavil as to their decision. Let it be clearly shown that they demand the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment, and it will be promptly ratified, the South represented in Congress by logal Represen tives, and this long distracted land ouce more enj the blessings of peace and re: - THE SOUTHERN UNIONISTS. The following is an extract from the private lotter of a Northern man, now renting and working by free negro labor a large coiton plantation in Upper Louisi- ana. It was written with no thought that it would ever be given to the public. It will be noted that it was written before the Vermont and Maine Elections: “We are ansiously awpities 8% esnlts of the Northern Elections this Fall,_3# they go right h should Johpeew atid the Copperheads | all all have 10 leave before Spring. 1u fact, we slall doubtiess b warned that we must go ~The foMowing iz an extract from the more recent private letter of a Unionist some twenty years resi- dent in New-Orleaus, where he is widely known and respected : ph, we NEW-ORLEANS, Sept. 94, 1866, +The rocent elections in Vermont and Maine, foreshado as they clearly do, the general leetions for Con gress this Fall, have gladd arts of all loyal men here. “There ins, since thos n marked abatement of the agrogance and fusolen Rebel tasters. Their confidence in the suceess of Johnson has been s see ¢ of Con gress, the views and purposcs of w from Mr Stevens's Bodford speced. 11 the re tions shall realize my hopes, 1 thiuk I can unti 1 may be rendy to remove. Had t ress fafled before the people, T, and many ould have biad 10 other alternative but 1o leave this seetion.” More than one thousand lotters of similartenor to the former of the above have been received in this City alone from all parts of the South since the date of the New-Orleans massacre. In the average, those from Texas give the most fearful accounts of the malevolence and bitterness of the reconstructed Rebels, as more especially evinced in outrages on the Freedmen; but very similar representations are re- ceived from many quarters, There are many instances wherein Northern men have furnished capital to Southern for the working of their plantations, stipulating for a specified proportion of the erop; and in many if not most cases the interest of the Northern men is carefully concealed from the planter’s neighbors from fear of arson auld other ma- licious damage if that interest were known. 8uch is the state of facts in the face of which we are assured that Northern Radicals may freely avow and commend their convictions at the South to all who may choose to hear them. Those who assert this know better. The fate of Dostie, Horton, Hender- son and their compatriots, is 100 récent and notorious. ‘Why was Horton murdered * He had cammitted no imaginable offense beyond making a prayer. But he was a Northern man and . Radical, and for these ho was butchered. The very journals, North and South, which now pretend that Radicals may speak freoly at the South, have expressly justified the massacre of the Louisiana Conventionists by quoting what they allege is the substance of a speech made by Dostie at a Radical weeting two or three eveningy previous—- & version which the Radicals who heard it say is not nearly correct. Whether he made this or o different speech, the massacre was openly justified by it—a fact that covers all the ground in dispute, The World, having intermeddled in this matter, we ask it to procure for us, from President Johnson, with liberty to publish, the report of the Military Commission which iuvestigated the New-Orlcans Riots, Give the public that report, and we will prove by it what was the real impulse to the New-Orleans Massacre, and what is the practical Liberty of Speech accorded by its Bouthern allies. Itisidle to arguc while the most material testimony is suppressed. Gen. Mower's re- port has been for weeks in Washington. Why is it hidden from the public? We call for its production, and assert that we can prove by it that Dostie, Hon- derson, Horton and many others, died martyrs, to Freedom of Bpeech, and that such freedom does not exist where the champions of “#*My Policy " bear SWay, “T0 BE HUNG TILL YOU ARE DEAD." The shadow of the gallows blackens the civilization of the century. Nothing is more shamefpl than the moral of the old story of the sailor, who, wrecked on what he feared to be a desolate isle, fell on his knees upon beholding a gallows, and cried, **Thank God! Jack—we'ra in a Christian land.” With so much that is holy in our creed, liberal in our modorn spirit, and just in our law, it is monstrous that we should still build the gibbet by the side of the church, Every execution of which we have read is disgust- ing, but few equal that of Allen P. Eggleston, at New- port, Ky., on Friday last. This criminal shot Capt. Alinon P. Menter, last June, while attempting to escape from tho house of the latter, Which he had en- tered to rob. Fifteen thousand people witnessed his execution, which took place in the open air, “‘on a knoll which," says the report, *seemed to have been designated by nature for just the dismal purpose it was about to serve.” Only one bred in a jail could make green fields and woods the accomplices of the barbarism of man. Eggleston, pallid and weak, un- able to walk without aid from the wounds his chains had inflicted, but calm and resolute, was led upon the scaffold. He looked around at the vast erowd, ** with an expression of weakness and resignation, a troubled look, a shade of sorrow, not untinged with disgust,” and then he fized hiy eyes on the bright sky and the forest-clad hills, The death- warrant was read, and Eggleston, supported by two men, rose to make his dying speech. It was the old story. Bad company, a bad life, protestation—in ‘this case true, we think—that murder was not in- tended, repentance, and willingness to die. He was not drunk, as are usually the victims of the scaffold, for no drunken man would have thus gently rebuked the crowd, eager for the borriblo tragedy, * I feel truly sorry,” he said, *‘to see so many people here, for I feel that most of them came here through idle cnriosity. I feel that they don't realize that they have got to die themselyes, and that many may die on the gallows, like me, just as I aw about to die. 1 am very, very sorry to sée 80 many here to look at this, and to ses 0 many women and children here to-day.” We question if the prayers which glossed with religious ceremonial this atrocity had the solem- nity of these words. A Eggleston’s arms were now bound and the rope placed around his neck. The white hood was druwn over his face, and, still unable to stand, strong hands supported him on the trap. As he said *‘God bless you" to his executioners, the drop fell, and the body flashed inthe air. What followed was more horrible than death. ** The body fell through with great force —the kaot alipped, sud with a fall of eight feet the wretched man's body struck the ground, his head bumping against the wood-work with a thug that could be heard 100 feot off. The scene of horror elee- trified the 15,000 spectators. A murmur of horror and disgust went the length and breadth of the crowd, and they moved forward with a motion like that of an immense wave to see what would follow. Tt was at five minutes after 1 o'clock that the horrible event ocourred. The officers quietly raised the man, all stunned aud bleeding from Lis terribly lacerated neck 5 he was, carried him up the steps to tlie death-hole again, and gave him some water. Without a word of complaint or an expression of pain, with the old look of meekness and resignation lighting up his faoe, and saying simply, * Gentlemen, dow't let that orcur again,’ e submitted to the preparation for his execution.” And then be was again lifted on the gallows, and this thne—it is pitiful that we should have it to say— was mercifully strangled. What became of his soul we kuow not, but the crowd went home to dinner. DELAWARE. Delaware has to elect on the 6th of November a Governor, Legislature, and one member of Congress. Her principal candidates are as follows, with the vote of 1564: Rep. - Union Demoeratic Gowernor. dwmes Ruldle, Gove Saulsbury. Cungress John L. McKim, 82%. Jobn A. Nichobon, #7602 Mz, Nicholson was elected in 1864 over Nathaniel B. Smithers by a majority of 500, which it is just possible the rising tide 6f free sentiment since 1860 (when the State gavo a Democratic majority of 8,409) may be able to sweep away, in spite of the Presi- | deatial obstruetion. The Unionists bave bad three victories in the State since 1560. Geo. P. Fisher was in that year chosen to Congress by a majority of 257 over his foremost competitor, the Breckinridge candi- date, but in 1362 was defeated by 37 votes in favor of his opponent Temple, a States-Rights Democrat. Governor Cannon wos at the same time elected-aver his Democeratie rival Jeflervon by 111 votes. 1 1563, Mr. N. B. Swithers, one of thy best representatives Dolaware has yet sent to the House, was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Tem- ple. He met with no opposition, his opponent, Mr. Chas. Brown, formerly Colloctor for the Port of Philadelphia, withdrawing at the last moment in con. sequence of official measures taken to prevent dis- loyalists from voting. The last member elected from Delaware, John A, Nicholson, won his seat by 504 votes. have good incentives in two or three victorious pre- cedents, and we hope they will do it. THE COTTON CROP. Undoubtedly the growing Cotton bas suffered by the heavy rains of the last month and by the worm, o that the erop will not fully justify the reason- | able anticipations of midsummer; yet the croakers' estimates of an aggregate of 500,000 to 1,000,000 bales are already seen to be absurd. The latest esti- mate from the planters’ poiut of view makes the crop 1,800,000 bales. We still believe it will be 2,000,000, which, at present prices, will net the growers $240,- | 000,000, and commaud in the world’s Wiarkets at least $300,000,000, Nor do we believe the price will be materially re duced, save for a month or two because of a rush to realize early to meet pressing engagements. world is still cottan-hungry, and 2,000,000 bales will not satinte its appetite. We predict that Cotton will be bigher next April and May than throughout November and December of this year, because of the mortgages and acceptances to be met by sales this Autumn. Two Million bales is barely half o crop, where a whole one is urgently needed.

That he would gladly do as the Rebels wish, we can believe; but he is wise enough to “‘let I dare not wait upon I would.” . The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, speaking of the Southern people, says: + Our conduct as citizens, siuce the surtender of the South, our honest and observance of the obligations of our oaths, and our respect for the laws of the country, ‘considera- nmhrmrkhnh language which cannot misunder- stood." ’ . Riots, massacres and murders at Mempbis, New- Orleans and throughout the-South ‘may be consiatent ‘with this boasted ** respect for the laws of the country.” In view of the facts, however, such self-praise seems in bad taste, to say the least. WASHINGTON. 1 L Wasi , Monday, Oct. 1, 1966, MORE ‘'POLICY” RECEPTIONS. This afternoon a delegation from Alexandria, Va., waited upon the President of the United States and preseated o him the address of the original Union men of that city and vicinity and of the Union men of the adjoining countics who indorse and approve the aetion of the Johnson Conservative Association i support of the policy of the President. The spokesman said in the conclusion of his address that the meet- ing at which the resalutions submitted were adopted was largely attended by those who were loyal to the Government of their fathers and true to the flag of their country, when a man haz arded Lis life by declaring that be was o Union man in Vir-"| ginia. They would say (o the President that they are ready and willing o stand by him and defend the Coustitution of the countty from any attack that may eome against it or him from liis enemies East, West, North or Seuth. The President said in reply that the cordial espression of confidenee in him which was presentsd in the address was at this time peeuliarly acoeptable and calealated to inspire him with renewed determination to pursne the course he hud been pursuing watil the struggle of piloting the country was ended. He would refer to his past course as o coneclasive indication and assurance of his action in the future, and be trusted that noth- ing he might do would ever lead any to think that their con- fidence in him had beew misplaced. It was his design to effect as speedily as possible a restoration of pesce and harmony throughout the whole coustry. At the conclusion of these remarks the members of the Com- mittee were introduced tothe President, sad after a plensant interview withdrew. THE ANTECEDESTS OF THE DELRGATION. The delegation of Alexandrians that called upon the President to-day, representing themselres o9 the original Union me, were in 20 wise conuected with the Loyal League estabished there, nor are they members of the local organiza- tion that sent delegates to the Loyal Unionists’ Couvention last month. Wi D. Massey, who read the addrese, is Postmaster, and was quite willing, though professiug to be a Usionist, to head this line of-ex-Rebels. An application to Mr. Heffel- blower, chairman of the delegation, for for a list of the members accompanyiag him, was met with the remark: *Ob, no! dou't Publish all their names. 1t would defeat our object, and have a counter poltical effect.” The following are the uswmes of all but two W D.
