TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1866. WITH SUPPLEMENT. Advertisem for this week’s issue of Tux WEEKLY Tmimoxe must be handed in To- Doy, £ The continued pressure upom onr advertising columns compels us to again present to our readers an extra sheet. In the Supplement wnll be found Book Re- views and Literary ltems. On the second, third, and sizth pages of the paper is correspondence from Paris, Milan, Vienna, Dublin, Constantinople, Athens, Syria, and Rio Jane Washington Intelligence, an Addre; the People of the United States by the Southern Loyalists, anaccount of the Base Bull Match for the Champiensaip, Criminal News, Commercial Matters, Market Reports, and numerous other items of importance. Delegation from various temperance societies paid their respects to Mr. Johnson yesterday. The Republican Convention of the IVth District, in this city, yesterday nominated Mr. Horace Greeley for Congress. His Demoeratic competitors have not yet been chosen, but Mr. Benjamin Wood will doubt- loss ba one of them. e ] The address of the Southern Loyalists, which we print to-day, is an able argument for Impuartial Suff- rage, and the establishment of republican govern- ment in the Rebel States. With their visit to the tomb of Abraham Lincoln the work of the Com- mittee was fittingly completed. Henry Ward Beecher was welcomed at the Brook- lyn Academy of Music Jast night by a great audience, and the applicants for tickets would have filled the building twice over. 'We print a full report of Mr. Beecher's address, which takes unqualified ground in favor of the Republican principles and caudidates. —_— The Dmperial cause in Mexico has just gained a great success in the utter defeat of Escobedo and Trevins by Gen. Mejia, who bad occupied Monterey and was preparing to attack Cortinas and Canales in Matamoros. At the latest adv , & fight for the pos- session of that place was imminent. Close upon this intelligence comes the report from New-Orleans that Gen. Sheridan has information of Maximilian’s preparations for departure to Europe having been completed. What effect, if any, Mejia's victory will have upon the Emperor’s intentions is yet to appear, but it would seem that every victory, whether of the Tmperialists or the Republicans, only leads to greater complication of matters in that distracted country. LET EVERY VOTER REGISTER HIS NAME TO-DAY. We give herewith, once more, the law relative to the Registry of Voters. No citizen uncertain of what means he shall take to insure his vote should fail to read it thoroughly. We call particular attention to Paragraph IV., and urge Committees of zealous Republicans to see that it is widely circulated and understood. It must be borne in mind that every man, without exception, who expects to vote, must personally register his name. The Registry is thus almost the equivalent of election, and upon every voter's individual attention virtually depends the crowning result in November. Therefore, let no one fail to register himself to-day : FIRST MEETING. 1. The Inspectors of Registry in the City and County of New-York will kold their first meeting on Tuesday, the sizteenth day of October, at nine o'clock in the forenvon, and will continue in session, as a Board, until nine o'olock in the evening of that day. 1L In any district where, at the last annual election, more than 400 votes were polled, the Inspectors may sit the next day (Wednesday) from nine in the morning until nine iu the evening. SECOND SESSION. 111, The same Inspectorsof Registry will hold & second session on Friday and Saturday, the second and third days of November, sod on each day they will sit from eight o'clock in the morning until nine o'clock in the evening. 1V. THE NAME OF NO PERSON CAN BE 'LACED UION THE REGUSTRY LIST B¥ THE S8AID INSFECTORS UNLEAS THE VOTER HIMSELP SUALL APPEAR PRRSONALLY BEFORE THE SAID INSPECTORS, AND PROVE HIS RIGHT TO VOTE AT THE COM- ING ELECTION IN THE ELBCTION DISTRICT IN WHICH HE CLATMS THE RIGHT 80 T0 VOTE. V. Any one of the Inspectors is authorized, &% any meeting of the Board, to sdminister the oath. or oaths, required by law to test the qualifications of glectors. The form of the oath will be found printed in the Registry Law. VI. Any person who shall canse his name o be regis- tered, knowing that he is not quahfied to vote in the dis- trict where the Registry is made, becowes linble to im- prisonment in the State Prison for not less than one year. All false swearing before the Board of Registry is deemed to be willfal and corrupt perjury, and will be punished as such. —_— THE MEETING LAST NIGHT. The great Union meeting last night was worthy of | the cause it was intended to aid. The Republicans of New-York are in earnest, and they have every reason to be active. They have long been in the mi- nority, but it is no longer hopeless. The gaine we have made in the last few years, the profound disgust of honest men of all parties with the Democratic county government, the great reforms the Republicans have begun, are all reasons fox greater hope and energy. In this canvass we have also advantages hitherto unknown—a just reorganization of our Assembly dis- tricts, & County Committee which is not the instru- ment of a few ambitions men, and & Registry law which will do much to compel honesty atthe polls. The Union party in this city, thus encouraged, has begun the canvass with a spirit which every day should increase. Cooper Institute was crowded last night, and three stands outside wero surrounded by thousands of people. The enthusiasm was unbounded, and the report we give to-day of the proceedings will show the equal earnestness of speskers and suditors. We print in full the able and eloguent ad- dresses of Hamlin Wilson and Tremain. That Gov. Femton and Gen. Fremont wers not able to attend was unfortunate, but the excellent lotter of the former is before the public. Letters of congratulation were received from Gova. ‘Ward, Hawley, and Curtin, There was an inspira- tion in this grand meeting which should make every Union voter thorough in the hard work before us. The Union victory which began this year with Connecticut, and was carried on by Vermont, Maine, Tows, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, must be s gloriously ended by the nine States which are to vote in November, and it is 1 the power of the Unionists of New-York not only to reélect Reuben E. Fenton by a majority of 25,000, but to increase the number of their Representatives in Congress. John Morrissey, P. R., as we hy g about to be nominated for Congress by the * Johuson Clubs " and McKeon Democracy of the VIIth District.

Cities of —_— OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. foreign correspondence has become one of the most important, as it is certainiy among the most in- teresting, departments of modern newspaper litera- ture. There is a vast amonnt of talent of a very high order employed on this branch of Journalism; and peopie unacquainted with the details of newspa- per management can form no idea of the heavy out- lay which a leading daily incurs in securing a regu- lar supply of those gencrally entertaining epistles from ** Special Correspondents” which ate by most readers perused with so lively a relish. In this de- partment, we make bold to say, THg TRIBUNE, i3 surpassed by mno paper of the age, either in this country er in FEurope. We have reg- ular correspondents in almost every part of the civilized world, furnishing us with correct accounts of every movement aud event of national importance, or of special interest to the great human family; and our occasional correspondence, such as letters of travel, are not inforior to the best produc tions of the kind in the European press. That large class of tourists, known as ** Fireside Travelers,” may find ample entertainment in our pages, o various are the countries and the scenes which our kaleidoscopic corres- pondence brings before them Moscow, with its curious mixture of Western civilization, and Oriental man- ners and customs; Paris, the city of pleasure, and the center of European diplomacy London, with its teem- ing population, and its vast fdustrial and commercial enterpriso and activity; Vienna, with its haughty aristoeracy and its splendid court; Berlin, illumined for all time with the renown of the great Frederick; Florence and Milan, memorable alike for their medieval associations, and their connection with those stormy scenes of which modern Italy bas been the Theater; Constantinople, where an effete Mohammed- ism struggles in vain against the aggressive spirit of Christian civilization; all these, as 5o wany sources, supply interesting matter for onr pages. The New World, too, contributes its share, from the passes of the Rocky Mountains down to the shores of distant Chili. Our correspondence deals with the vital issues of the day; it aims at reflecting faithfully tho * living manners as they rise”; aud as a whole, it will be | found a valuable repertory of information on matters gocial and political. To those who may not bave given it hitherto the attention it deserves, we promise an ample reward in its careful porusal. —_— BUILDING FIRES. The extraordinary fire at Quebec is just such another terribly illuminated chapter as the recent one at Portland on the danger of building up cities with wooden houses. It is not the first time that the Can- adian city has been similarly visited. Two or three large fires, consuming hundreds of houses, have, believe, appeared there within five years, we | and, judging by the facts, possibly no city | on the continent of equal size has b--en' more liable to the scourge of fire. At its worst and fiercest trial, Quebec, like Portland, found itself helpless, though warning must bave been fre- quent in the number of wooden towns in Canada and Maine which have within near memory been destroyed. I it were not generally understood that many of our towns further north are almost entiraly of wooden construction, the commonness of great fires in that region wonld be surprising. But it happens to be just the quarter where the disasters of great towns meet with no mercy from the elements. Wind and flame conspire with every wooden house to make its destruction inevitable. The fire in Quebee raged for several days, and if nothing else had been told us, the bare recital of its progress directly suggests the accelerating eause of a calamity so wide-spread. In its early stage threo sep- arate fires, which had, doubtless, caught from each other, owing to the easily inflammable character of wood, wero to be discerned in different directions. By the end of the day, 2,500 houses had been burned, and 18,000 families rendered bomeless. This vast exploit of flame conld not have been accomplished soouer. ‘That the destruction was so speedy and awful was, no doubt, because the material of the fire was already so well adapted to the flame that its architects sud owners must have served, whether willing or not, all the purposciof pract On the vast calamity of the thousands who hLave suffered by the fire but one sermon shonld be pregched~—that of in- exhaustible charity to all diprived of house and home. But certainly the fire itself has read an zwful lecture on the peril of building fires. neendiaries, The fourth section of the law of Reglstry provides that ** the name of no person can be placed upon the Registry list unless the voter himself shall personally appear before the Inspectors.” No voter should be blind to this fact, The thonsands interested in the triumph of the Repnblican-Union party at the coming election should make sure beyond doubt that all citi- zens within their influence register themselves to-day. WHO SENT THE FORGED TELEGRAM? venerable old ourang-outang tbeory goes under, or will hereafter ouly be maintained by the sasants of the New-York porter-hofises. We can remember when it was affectionately nourished in Bible Honses and by the Tract Societies. We suppose that now it has been abandoned even by Bishop Hopkins and Dr. Lord. But if there is missionary work to do in the South, we must cantion the over-cnthusiastic in re- spect of missionary pesils. The Society of Jesus, no doubt, remembers its direful experience in Japan; and there are & good many little Japans still to be found in our own country—localities in which a missionary may advauce to wmartyrdom with the greatest possible facility. ** Any man,"” said Gen. Banks in a late speech, **who goes into that portion of the country with his capital or skill or ideas or "know ledge, with a view to take from them their po- litical power, will meet bis death.” But you cannot advance the Freedmen, religiously and intellectually, without giving them a corresponding amount of po- litical power. It is their ignorance which makes an asistocratic class poasible. Hence, if either priests or schoolmasters do their whole duty, they will run’ the risk of extra-judicial ropes, tar, feathers, revolvers— the fate of St. Stephen or of Dr. Dostie. There is a certain rough work to be done of a kind which, thank Heaven! always finds somebody to do it even in this selfish world; and those who are looking bravely to this field of enterprise, moral, educational or even commercial, may take courage from the assured fact that the next President of the United States will be a civilized and humane gentleman. . MISSOURL. The Hon. Charles D. Drake, being prevented by the opening of the Fall terms of the Courts in St. Louis, from addressing the people in other parts of Missouri, has published a letter to * The Radical Union men of Missouri " on the probable issue of the approaching election. There are few politicians of Missouri who have as thorough an acquaintance with all parts of thoir State as Mr. Drake. We are therefore glad to hear that Mr. Drake is not only confident of victory, but that ho thinks the Radicals will carry the State by more than forty thousand majority. He presents the following computation of the vote in 1365, on the adoption of the State Constitution: a voters who did not vote on the Constitution llan voters who did not vote on the Constitution Lincolu voters who voted against the Constitution. - 60 Assuming that all these voters will vote in Novem- ber, be allows to the Conservatives: One-fifth of the absentee Lincoln absentee MeClellan voters e fifth of the 6.9 Lincoln vo against the Coustitution 1% This calculation would give to the Radicals at the next election: “Tha voto for the Constitntion ... 3.3 Four-iftha of the absontes Lincoin voters Four fifths of the Lineoln voters the Constitution. .......... ..204% 4 4036 2,799 oo . vee. 65743 The Conservatives, on the other hand, would have Total the following vote: Democratie v and one-fifth of Lincoln vote against the Constitution ey Onefifth of absentes Lincoln vote Absentoe McClellan voters Total ... : - showing a Radical majority of 22,37 To this majority must be added the vote of the discharged soldiers, In 1965 only 5,163 out of the 20,236 soldiers of the State voted. This year Mr. Drake expects that at least uine-tenths of the non- voters of 1363, or 21,711, will vote. He allows one- tenth of the soldiers’ vote te the Copperheads, and expects, accordingly, an accession to the above Radi- dal vote of 19,540 soldiers’ votes, which would swell the Uuion vote to 55,033, while one-tenth of the sol- diers' votes (2,171) would swell the Conservative vote to 45,344, giving & Radical majority in the State of Another addition to this Radical vote may be ex- pected from returning Union men who, aunng the war, had been driven from their homes, and from the emigrants who are now pouring in so large numbers into the State. The majority to be received from these two classes Mr. Drake estimates at 5,000, in- creastng the Radical majority to 44,739, ‘Wo hope the inspieation which the friends of Froe- dom and Progress in every State of the Union have inhaled from our recent glorious October victories will aid the Radical Republicans of Missouri to verify the sanguine anticipations of the Hon. Charles D. Drake. To-day is the regular day for Registration. The offices of Inspectors of Registry in New-York and Brooklyn will be open from 9 o'clock in the morning till 9 o’clock in the evening, during which time every voter should appear in person to register his name. Neglect of this essontial duty might impair the result in November materially, if not fatally. Therefore, let no one who values his right to vote, and bis solemn duty to aid in the safoty of his State’and city, neglect to register himself to day. STREET COMMISSIONER CORNELL. Mr. Cornell in his card in reference to the grave charges preferred against him by the Citizens' Asso- ciston, says that ** the pepalty of holding office in this City is to be assailed by self-constituted censors.” If the officials of this City were as Lonest as they should be, or if those of them whose duty it isto prosecute erime discharged that duty, it would not, perhaps, be necessary for ** self-constituted censors " to take the matter in hand. But Mr. Cornell must not object to these ** self-constituted censors "— for lie should recollect that our The bistory of the forged telegram published by The Philadelphia Ledger fully proves that that paper hagd no conscious part in the fraud, .but was itself n victim of the hoax. It has traced the dispatch to Mr. A. M. Flint, one of its Washington agents, who was unable or unwilling to give The Ledger any satisfac- tory account of the manner in which he obtained his information. It is generally supposed that Mr. Flint invented the whole story, yet as ko asks o suspension of opinion, it is right to give him the Denefit of the doubt. But that benefit is of little worth. Mr. Flint published the questions in bis telegram as being in the oxact language of the President, yet eonfesses that his whole dispatch was based on rumor, His past be- havior is against him, During the war he was the Rebel correspondent of The New-York Herald, from Baltimors, and was denounced on the floor of the House, by Mr. Boutwell of Massachusetts, as & Rebel reporter. He is now the correspondent of The N. Y. News These are facts which arc important for the public to know; they show that this forgery originated with s friend of Mr. Johnsou's policy, and The Washington Chronicle intimates that Flint's + frankness in confessing so grave an offense would almost snggest & suspicion that he bad a previous guarautee against the consequences.” —_— Extremes meet. While Mr. Jobn Bright, the Quaker, is setting beforo the English peoplo the merits of our American system of Education, the Roman Catholic Council in Baltimore discuss the propriety of establishing an ecclesiastical organization specially for the emancipated Blacks, To be sure, in the first instance secular and in the second religious egucation is contemplated, but we take it for granted that, in this country, at least, you cannot bave the one without the other—that intelligence will come with religion and religion with intelligence, and with both increased public safety and prosperity. At any rate, there seems te be a general willingness to admit that the Blacks have souls to be saved, which, in tarn, implies minds to be cultivated. The Methodists, the Presbyterians, the Roman Catho- lies, the Episcopalians, the Tnitarians, Free-Will Baptists, are all ting ready to enter the field which emancivation has ovened. Of gourse, the the | whole government is ** self-constituted.” Per- baps, however, Mr, Cornell is a believer in the Divine right of rulers, and especially of the Street Commis- sioner of the City. But as our officials arp almost all in the ** Ring," our peopla must look to themselves for the enforcement of the law. We feel some curiosity as to the answer Mr. Cornell will make to the very damaging charges preferred sgaiust him. In our opinion, the tenth charge as to his building o Dbridge in the marsh one the line of One-hundred-and-fifty-fifth-st., under the pretext of working it as a country road, is unapswerable. 1This bridge begins nowhere and ends in the same place, It is inaccessible at both ends, and would be of no use even if completed, Yet Mr. Cornell frittered away $12,535 256 nominally upon this bridge, and has left it standing there rotten and rotting. Nobody else has been able to get over this bridge, and we should gladly like to know by what process in acrobatics Mr. Cornell will perfosm the feat. » We do pot eeo upon what hypothesis Mr. Cornell el u‘pfl%‘n awa} the spending of $100,262 87 in the years 1863, 1864 and 1865, upon four miles of Bloomingdale Road. Against this vast ex- penditure, the [Comimissioners of the Central Park spent in tho same years but $96,312 59 for keeping abont fourteen miles of road in far better condition than Bloomingdale Road; and of these fourteen miles, nine miles are carriage roads of more than double the width of Bloomingdale Road, and are subject to more wear and tear. Mr. Cornell will find the Bloomingdale a hard road to travel, especially if ke fails to show what became of the 12,0003loads of gravel and stone alleged to Lave been put upon it in twenty-seven days in 1863. According to the sixteenth charge against him, Mr. Cornell seems to have been * sprinkling the public dust " at the rate of $1,000 a month for every four miles. Perbaps Mr. George Caulfield could be in- duced to sprinkle all our streets at the same price, if we would buy the carts of him at §300 apicce. It was unfortunate for Mr. Hoffman, but good for our people, that he should have been indebted for his | nomination to such men as Cornell, Tweed, and | Morrissey. Better for Mr. Hoflmau uot to have beon Bl = nominated at all than to have been nominated by the Street Commissioner of this City and his Deputy. We have no doubt, however, that the people of this State—yes, and the people of this City, even—will take good care that Cornell and Tweed do not escape the consequences of the revelations of their Depait- ment by the election of Mr. Hoffwan, upon whom they have so many claims for protection. _— In speaking of the election of Gen. Henry L. Cake to Congress from Pennsylvania, we intended to ascribe his election even more to the rising intelligence of his seotion than to his personal worth. It appears we have been misunderstood by his friends, As we have sevoral times spoken of the abil and services of Gen. Cake, this is the more unfortunate. The Louisville Courier was an unflinching advocate of the Slaveholders' Rebellion, befors and after its outbreak, and is now the leading organ of the recon- structed and triumphant Democracy of Kentucky. In its issue of the 26th ult., it said: “But o few more days will elapse before the grand trial of strength | Democracy of Indiana, Ohbio, and hio importance of these ur. .

After bafug capsized several times, and being badly broised by the timber Hoating about, I at last got into the Captain's boat, which was supporting 18 or 20 persons then. A young lady was cliuging to her on oue side—the oul woman I saw alive then out of the eighty or ninety aboa: Tho boat being full of water, was turned over several “times by the heavy seas, and we all lost our holt on her, but all but eue or 1o ined it. ‘The third time the boat was overturned the young ludy lost Ler holt and sunk by my side, almost near enough for me to touch her with my hand, bat I could reader no assistance. ‘Capt.

A private let- Yo confirms this report, and adds that Mejia had oceupied Mon. terey, and that, from the demonstrations made on the 9th aud 10th by Cortinas and Canales, a fight for the possession of Mataimoros would take place on the 10th. t 1 currently reported here for two days past that Gep.

Owing to the early hour of the morning fow people were about, The wind which had blown half 8 gale from the east all night had slightly abated, but still continued with such violence as to cause serious appre- hensions, which were afterward unfortunately realized. By the time the fire brigade reached the scene Trudel's house was enveloped in flames. The sappers were already there, but there was some delay in laying the bose and getting sufficient water, which was not remedied for near- ly an hour. Meantime the fire made rapid progress; no lesathan 10 or 12 houses were on fire, and the lumber and wooden shods on all sides were ignited. By 5§ 0'clock 89 houses, all built of wood, were in & blaze. The flames, drivenby the wind, were spreading in all direce tions. At 6} over 150 houses wers consumed. The fire by this time had run along St. Joseph aud Notre ’l;::u dos A:‘eu: to the junction of 8t. Valier-st., car- 7ing everything before it. Tne church of La Con, tion stood in great danger, but & sudden vm:g zlm‘t; wind saved it. Crossing St. Valior-st. the fire scon sfter- ward spread into S Sauvour, and among its hundreds of wooden houses raged with defiant fury. House after house fell a prey to the flames. It was thought that the houses to the eastward would be saved, but the fire erept back, continuing its work of destruetion. At 11 o'clock the whole center of the district lying between St. Sauvour and the lower streets running parallel with the river was e charred and barren waste, and having nothing to feed om there, the conflagration distributed itsglf in opposito di- rections, the wind increasing again, and blowing in gusts from every direction. Three separate conflagrations were observable at one time. 8t. Sauvour Church, Dunn's soap and candle factory, Ries's rope walk and other large buildings were in flames. Along St. Valier-st. toward the toll-gate and the stroets surrounding the General Hospital and Convent, another terrible fire was raging with even greater fury, whilo at the back of Crown-st., along Prince Edward's, Jesuit and Rilard-sts., the flames were creeping back and eaveloping street after stroet in spite of the almost superbuman ex- ertions of the soldiers and the seamen of the Aurora. The conflagration ceased at about 5 o'clock, when there was nothing more for it to feed on. A moderate eomputation places the number of houses destroyed st 2,500, and the 1oss of real property at from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000, The number of persons rendered homeless is estimated v 18,000. The body of & man, burned almost to & crisp, was dragged out of a house in St. Sauvour, near St. Valierst, It could not be identified. Sergeant Hughes of the Royal Artillery was blown up and badly, though not dangerously, burned, Lieut. Douglas of the Aurors was severcly hurd by a falling building. Sevbral of the seamen receivod con- tusions, but, so far as is known, no one was seriously iz jured. Lieut. Benm of one of the regiments had Lis am broken}by & falling beam. . AT OTTAWA. OrTAWA, C.
