Bearv's fino mall steamship, the Grana Ha, Captain Baxter, which loft Hew York on the afternoon of ?Saturday, the 26th inat., arrived at thifl port yesterday, bringing two days.' later news jDrom the North. Wo are indebted to Purser Gob ;ham for filen of Into Now York papers, from which we make the following interesting summary of :news: New York, Aug. 2G. By tho steamship Ooean Queen, which arrived 1?re yesterday, from Aapinwall ?on tho lCth inst., we received California papers of .the 2d, containing ihe announcement of a terrible marine disaster. The steamship Brother Jonathan, which sailed :from San Francisco on ihe 28th July, forportB to the northward, struck a sunken roek in the Pacific Ocean in the afternoon of tho 30Ui, and sank in lesa than an hoar, carrying down with her all on board, between two and three hundred per sons, excepting sixteen who escaped in a small boat General Goorgo Wright, who was on his way to assume oomniand of tho Department of Columbia, embracing the State of Oregon and the Territories of Washington and Idaho, is be lieved to bo among tho vi ?unis of this disaster, as also his wife and some members of his ?taff. This is not the General Wright who was commander of the Sixth Corps of the Army of the Potomac. The name of the latter mentioned gallant officer is Horatio Gates Wright, who is now in Texas. The reason that we have not learned of tliia catas trophe before is, that tho hostile Indians on the TVcstcrn plains now keep the wires of tho overland telegraph almost constantly broken. We have also by this arrival some important de tails, which we publish this morning, of the depre dations of the Shenandouh in the. North Pacific. At tho date of tho last advices she had captured eight additional vessels, seven of which h lie turn ed, and eighty others appeared to be at her mercy. The steamships George Washington and Matan zas arrived hero yc.-terday from Now Orleans, bringing dispatches from that city to the 19th instant, and from Brownsville, Texas, to the 18th. Tho correspondent of the' Herald, writing from Brownsville, details & conversation, which is doubtless of that characteristic bogus kind which the Herald always has, which he had with a South ern officer in Matamorus. It is stated that the "officer" boasted that General Sterling Price, of Missouri, had been made a Major-General in Max imilian's Bervice, and empowered to raise a cavalry force of thirty thousand from among the men of the disbanded Southern armies; that several other Southern Generals have been similarly favored by tho Mexican Emperor, and that it is his intention to havo one hundred thousand Confederates in his service within a year, to kcop watch on Sheridan along tho Rio Grande. Meantime matters on our side of that stream remain quiet, and the condi tion and health of tho troops aro good. The United States officers at Brownsville recently en tertained at a banquet tho imperial officers sta tioned at Matamoras, togother with some ex-offi- i cars of the Confederate army, including General Slaughter. So it would scorn that the social amenities still prevail between tho representatives | of tho antagonistic institutions separated by the river, notwithstanding it is said to bo tho almost , universal belief atnong the American officers that ; they will ultimately be called upon to march into Mexico to enforce the Monroo doctrine. Private account? report much excitement during ' recent debates in tho Mississippi Convention upon , tho slavery question, some of tho members declar- ? ing that the issue could not thus hurriedly bo forced upon the South, whilo others advocated let ting tho subject rost altogether. On Friday last I it was reBolvedby tho Convention that tho old ' cUnse in the Constitution relating to slaves should Jie stricken out; but when it came to putting in : place of these a stipulation that slavery should no i Ipngej; cjdjBtj JUttttd YTW a fierce opposition) end. a, final adjournment without action. Subsequently, , as tho telegraph has reported, this clause was Adopted. -The Richmond Republic announces as about to appear, Circular No. 1 of Gen. O. O. Howard, Commissioner of tho Bureau of Refugees, Freed men and Abandoned Lands, which, sets apart for tho use of loyal refugees and frocdmon certain tracta or parcels of land and other property .with inrtbo State of Virginia, to which tho United State? have acquired titlo by confiscation. Thoso lands, embracing thousands of acres, lio in tho Counties otLondon, Fairfax, Elizaboth City, Prince William, Warwick, York, Norfolk, and thb cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth; and tho Republic says it will bo tno first of an extensive series o{ similar publica tion?. Gen. Beaurcgard, it is rumored, will noon ask for pardon, that ho may go to Europe and take a position in tho French army. Tho friends of Alexander H. Stephens, now in confinement in Fort Warren, Are making utrcnu mm endeavors to secure bis pardon and releauc. Hin brother, Lintoii, WM at tho Whito House on : that errand yesterday. Ex-Govurnor Brown, of Georgia, is reported aa having passed through Chattanooga on hin way to Washington last Thursday. Tho Govornor speaks hopefully of tho futuro under tho wiso and liberal policy of Iho President, and bcoidb thoroughly in earnest in his efforts to induce tho people to enter oorclially upon tho disehargo of their now dut ion and relations. General Sheridan, in order to encourage dis charged soldiers to remain in tho South, has or dered that such as dosiro it, shall be paid off with out having to return to their homes. Four mil lion dollars to pay the troops arrived in Now Or leans on tho 12th inst. A pretty accurate estimate of tho defalcations of Edward B. KctcJium has now been arrived at, and it foots up tho -enormous amount of four millions two hundred thousand dollars. The Franklin County, Tonn., grand jury has found trun bills against ihe robol General McCauB liind, Major Gilnior, and Captain Smith, for mur der, arson, &c, and Governor Curtin has issued requisitions for them upon tho Governors of "Vir ginia and West Virginia_N. Y. Times. The oaptain of a British schooner which arrived at New Orleans on tho 13th instant reported that about a dozon deserters or discharged men from tho United States army or navy had been engaged in piratical operations on tho coast of Honduras, having murdered tho crew of a small schooner, and, sotting sail in it, captured several other veta seis. They were last seen near tho coast of Cuba, with an English vessel in pursuit. Brcvot Major-General F. H. Roger has been as signed to the commandof the Department of North Carolina during the temporary absence of General Schoficld. A special Washington dispatch to tho Herald, dated 25th, gives the following information: GENERAL HATCH AND TUE CHARLESTON FIIEEDMF.N. General Hatch, in command of tho military dis trict of Charleston, 8. C? writes to General O. O. Howard relativo to certain charges that wcro pre ferred against him for alleged abiiRO of tho frecd men by a Uniou League of Charleston. The Gen eral says that tho accusation that ho rofuecd per mission for an oration in that city on tho Fourth of July is utterly untrue, and that all business was suspended and celebrations becoming the day were participated in with his hearty approval, iho only request made which ho did not deem ex pedient to grant was a proposal to assemble some thirty thousand frcedmeu in Charleston on the above day, which, fearing a riot, ho had refused to acquiesce in, subsequent events having shown him that the precaution was a most wise one. In the matter of contracts, the General docs not (.hink the colorod people are imposed upon, as al leged, but that their interest? are fully looked after by the local agents for freedmen. AUGUST KEronTOF THE AGRICULTURAL DUREAD. The monthly report of the Agricultural Bureau for August says the returns of the correspondents are very fair, and show a slight falling off in tho wheat crop in the New England and Middle States, something over half a million of bushels; a loss of about ouo and throe-quarter millions of bushels in the States of Maryland and Delaware, and a de ficiency of over twenty millions bushels in the Northern and Northwoetoru States. Tho corn crop exhibits tho greatest promise. It is every where good. The potatoe crop is almost as prom ising as that of corn. Tho other crops harvested will be ample for all domestic purposes, and that of oats will be very large. The prospect, there fore, is that tho injury to tho wheat crop will be moro than compensated by the unusual excol euce of tho other crops. The tobacco crop is the only one which exhibits a general falling off in the amount planted. The heavy internal taxes on tho nuuiufacturcd product, and the uppichension of a tax on tho leaf, are assigned by some of tho cor respondents as a reason for the diminished pro duction. The amount of wool and tho increase of sheep are shown by the table to boar like propor tional advance to that they have exhibited since 1861. The report says:?''The rebellion has given to this great interest a prosperity which protec tive laws under a high tariff failed to accomplish for it." SEIZURE OF WHISKY FOB EVASION OF THE REVENUE LAW. Several heavy seizures of whisky, for alleged evasion of tho revenue laws, have recently been raado in Cincinnati, and Hon. 8. 8. - Cox, of New : York, is here as attorney for the owners. Tho ! property at stake is reported to amount to several , million of dollars. The parties implicated are ex- j pected in a few days, when a hearing will bo asked ; of Secretary McCulloch. !

Claghorn, of Savannah, Ga. A Washington dispatch t*i tho Times of the samo 1 flato, saya : ' } INTERNAL REVENUE DECISION?. < The Commissioner of Internal Rovenuo thiB morning rendered tho following decisions : It is the duty of ciec'toia, administrators, etc., j to render liBto of legatees to tho assessor or assis- ( taut assessors of the tiistrict in which the deceased t resided at the timo or his death.

Goncrnl Devins goes to South Carolina. M0VP.MENT8 OP GENERAL MEADE. Major-Genoral Meado arrived at Richmond on tho evening of Thursday, and is tho guest of Ma jor-General Terry. Tho Iribunc's Washington special (25th) statce : THE FATE OF JEFF.'dAVIS. Previous to his departuro from Washington, Gen. Grant remarked to a party of friends that sufficient evidence had been adduced in tho late conspiracy trial, and since received by the Govern ment, to convict Jeff. Davis of complicity in the assassination plot, and that tho fate of tho con spirators settled that of the arch-traitor. Tho associated press dispatch from the samo place, and same date, says concerning PARDONS. Tke newspaper reports that the President has stopped for the present extending pardons, arc contradicted by the fact that to-day he has grant ed six. -? ? GENERAL NEWS BT TELEGRAPH. THE MISSISSIPPI CONVENTION. Jackson, Miss., August 23.?An ordinance was passed ratifying all laws and official Acts passed h?uco tho Act of secession not repugnant to the Constitutions of tho United States and Mississippi, prior to Jauuary, 1861, except the laws concerning crimes and th?

Jackson, Miks., August 24.?Governor 8harkey to-day sent into the Convention a telegraphic dis patch wldch he had received from President John son, congratulating the Convention on tho progress they were making in paving the way to the road mission of the State of Mississippi into tho Union, and expressing an earnest hope that all obstacles to such readmisi?n would'soon be removed. The President says in this dispatch that ho will restore tho writ of habeas corpus and remove the troops from tho State at the earlfeet moment when the l?tate shall make sufficient p'rogress as to have en tirely returned to her allcgiuucc. Tho President hopes, in conclusion, that the example of Missis sippi will bo followed by tho other Southern States. In the Convention to-day the ordinance propo sing the constitutional amendment to the people, for ratification or rejection, was lost by a vote of 5 yeas against 44 nays. An eloquent appeal memorializing President Johnson to grant pardon to Jeff. Davis and | Charles Clarke, late Governor of Mississippi. signed by over four thousand ladies, wajp.read ana approved.

The last resolution declares that, while wo res olutely condemn all infractions upon the Constitu tion, and white we regrot that tho terms of pacifi ?avioa agreed to by Major-General Sherman in ^pril last were not at once ratified by tho Federal Executive, wo will nevertheless stand by President Johnson in nil constitutional ii?brts to restore to :hc States the exercise of their rights and powers.
