Thi3 good old gentleman?(alas, the good old man is now dead,) writes for the N. Y. Caucasian. He lives in the White House now, with Old Abe, just as he did with Old Hickory, in 1S32 and 1336, and he renders the following as the result of a recent conversation of his 'with Linkin APPLYING THE PRINCIPLES OF NEGRO EQUALITY?LINCOLN HAS THE FLOOR. 'The troth is, Major Downing, we Republicans have been talkin about the grate principle of equality of all meD, inoludin Injins, niggers, Chinees and so on, and now they want me to apply the principle, and I'm gnin to do it. I think there is some humbug in it somewhere, but I don't exactly see where, and as they will give me no peace, and will never be satisfied ennyhow until it is dun, I'm goin' to pat it thra.' 'Wal,' ses I, 'Kernel, go ahed, but look out for squalls.' Perhaps, ses I, 'you never heard the story about Zenas Humspun 'applying the principle." I hope you won't hev as bad luck aahedid.' 'No,' ses Linkin, 'I neyer heerd that story. What was it? 'Wall,' ses I, 'Zenas was a good natured feller, who lived in DowDingville, and a wonderful inquirin sort of ohap, ailers and forever pryiDg into things. If be bought a clock he'd take it all apart with his jack nife jest to see how it went together. So about the time that a telegraph was started and an offis wa? set up in our town, Zenas was eenamost puzzled to dcth to get the hang of the qritter, as he called it. One day he went to the offis and axfid the feller to show hioi all about it. The chap was very perlite, and explained to him the great principle on which it worked, but Zeuas didn't exactly see through it, and kept axin qnes tioDs and botherin the feller till be got clean out of pashins. Finally ses ho to Zen&s, Perhaps you would like to see me apply ibe principle.' Zcnas said ho would of course. ?Wa!,' says he, ?tbeu you jest take hold of them brass knobs aud stick to 'em i tight.' So Zenas grabbed hold of 'em like all possessed, but he (jadn't more than fairiy pot hold before he lay sprawling on the floor. The 'principle' had knocked him clean over. Now, Zenas was a terribul feller to smoke, and alters carried his pockets full of lucifcr matches to lite bis pipe with. It so happened that he had a hull box full in his coat tail pocket as he keeled over on the floor, and as be fell they scratched agiu one another so strong that they all got afiro It warnt but a little while before Zenas' coat tail was all in a blaze, and before it could i-> ? ? * ?* />?? t* Vv tv f nn ntsfnl Kir* UC pub UUl 1U UBU uuiut uu uniui Vl^ UUIV ia the seat of his trowsers, and scorched him thereabouts amazingly. Zenas yelled and hollered awful, and sed be didn't want to know eunythiog more about applyin the priuciple. 'Now,' ses 1, 'Kernel, I hope you won't have as bad luok as Zenas did, but depend on't this applyin principles you dou't exactly understand, is daogerous business. If you don't get burnt somewhere it will be a wonder.' WHO MADE THE NIGGER ? ?Wal,' sesLinkin, 'Majer, you are a cute cbap'iu tellin a story, but now tell me, do you think the nigger and the white man didn't cnuij'rom the same parrient ?' 'Now,' ses I, -Keruel, that's axin a deep question. You sec its oopossiblc to tell what the Creatur may have done. % He might have o"nly one kind of man at fust, and then altared tlieir const'tusbins, aud complexions, and brains afterwards.k You see everything is possible to the Creatur Or the negro may have cum from Ham, who was cussed for his sins, but then I dou't see that it is en i.: .1.~ .k..? U^UllUg UglU IUU 2>UI ipiUUi O LU UUI1CVC LUUI all tbe kinds of men were made at the beginnin just as they are now. But it don't make euy difference how they cum so long as they are different. You can't enymore make a white man out of a nigger uow than you cau brciu a lion out of a pole cat. You sec, it's clear agin natur to expect to make the nigger cnything but a nigger. You can't get a pea. i- out of a crab-apple, nor a pumpkin out of a watermelon, nor eagle? out of ducks' eggs. You can't raise chickens from egg plants, or produce goslius fu.m gooseberries. You see, Kernel, everything in natur must go aecordin to natur. if the uigger had bceu intended ?o be equil to the white man, and the very fact that he aiu't made so is proof positive that he warn't intended to be put in a white man's place. Tryin to make a nigger act like a wuite man is just like "id Sol -Gopkius, one year harnessing his off ox an his boss together to plow corn. The ox was as lazy us he cuuld be, and the boss was a ? .? % it i* liiith. ci rn Tirr tinirriil1 n n rl ennh q nnl. I ;uuuei b ? ? ? - r-.liu aud baulin team you never did see. It | almost killed both. You see, it was workin i agiu natur. It was tryiu to make an ox a I boss, and a boss an ox, neither of which ! toing can be did. You see, Kernel, 'eve- | rythiny in nulur must go accordin to natur.' 'AVal,' ses Linkin, 'there is a good deal' in what you say, but then the people dou't believe it. They think the nigger is only accidentally black, and if he lucks in mind and capacity, it is all owin to slavery, an they won't bt?lie>e cny other way until they see tor themselves. 1 tell you, M..jer, the principle has got to be applied, no matter how muni/ coat tails or hoio many troicsers are burnt.' 'YVul,' ses I, 'Kernel, I guess there is other folks who thiok just as you do, for somebody has sent mc some verses in rela* shuu to the nex great emaDcipashin which is to cum off, cut from some noospaper. 1 will read 'cm to you.

The London correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on the 10th ultimo, says that the. first of the "great rebel tur retted rams"*has been launched, and id now in the Graving dock, at Liverpool, completely plated, with her masts and boilers on board, and also a large part of her machinery. It was expected to have her ready for sea by the 18 th of August. The correspondent says: TTop nnnanrt. nrna lonnnhod nn dfltr """ ? ?~ J | >f August, ub well as the one at Glasgow, and both will be ready to sail late in this month or the 1st of September. _ You now see that I was nof wrong when, months ago, I informed you that these rebel iron-olads would be on your coast in September. 1 hope now the scales are off the eyes of the venerable Secretary of the Navy, and that be is making due preparations to receive these formidable cogines of destruction. 1 cannot see from my standpoint that anything has been done to counteract the dreadful* oalamity awaiting you. To be frank, unless the most strenuous t fforts are made, you will have another Newport's News-tragedy enacted in the waters of your own beautiful bay; terrible scenes will transpire under your own windows ? The speed of these vessels will be greater ihan any of your iron clads, and, of course, if not early prevented, they wrill sail about doing all the barm they can. It is generally supposed here that the blockading squadrons will be their first prey, but my own impression is, and it is founded on a good basis, that a dash at New York will be made; and I have no hesitation in say in?, and that from a long experience in gunnery and ships, that with these three iron clads, in broad daylight, they could enter New York harbor by the way of San dy Hook and burn and destroy all your ships of-war on the stocks and afloat, and dockyards, and then pass out by way of'the Sound, without receiving any material dam ago. . These assertions are strong, but none the less true. What is your Government about ? What are the people about? What is the press about ? Cannot you do something towards rouBing them to a sense of their impending danger ? Your fleets, your towns, and your cities are in danger. Yoa may avert it by instant measures, and even then it will be only a palliation ; for as far as I can see their vessel will have complete control of yonr coast until the Puritan and Dictator are fitted out, and that will be several months. The rebels here are in great glee in an ticipation of the intended movements of these ships. The London 7'ivies' correspondent, writing from Richmond, says "the Yankee fleet will make themsdlves scarce off the blockaded ports after September." I have done my duty in this serious matter, and trust the Government will do theirs in time. A Traitor Expelled. At a public meeting beld in Griffin, Georgia, on the 13th ultimo, permission was granted to T\:vid II Johnson to leave the Confederacy within teu duyp, on a charge of having been in the habit of abusing the Government of the Confederate States, and advocating a reconstruction of the Union with oar enemies, decrying the currency of our country, ?c. The following resolution was also passed : Resolved, That as advocacy of the doctrine of reconstruction has been pronounced by this meeting as traitorous, all persons entertaining socb sentiments arc hereby requested to movo without the limits of the Confederate States; and if they do not choose to remove, they are hereby notified that if tboy are known to express such sentiments to the detriment of their country, they will be required to do so. Committees were appointed to ascertain the names of disloyal persons and notify, them that they will be dealt with, and to prepare an article pledging the people of Griffin to a vigorous prosecution of the war to a successful termination, and to fid themselves of treason at home, and.that it be ? >i .1? ?< ?u? _ paesentea to an iuc mHsua m me uuuui; for signature.

I 1A TTote forthe Doctors?A Eemedy for Diptheria. This affection, which comprises those known under the various names of bad sore throat, angina, croup, and the French anguine coucnneuse, has hitherto been considered one of the most difficult to oure.-rWe some time back gave an aocount of Dr TrideauVmethod, which consists in administering storaz under the form of a syrup; but we now Hod in the Revue Therapueti que, a paper by Dr. A.

The following cases came under bis observation after that date. In March aud April, 1861, the disease .in question broke out under an epidemic fiJfta, and chiefly attacked adults with such virulenoe that in one week three young women died in one bouse. One of Doctor De Grand's patients, afflioted with blephacite, was seized with it, and as be could not immediately attend, owing to the severity of the case, another physician was called iD,- who ordered emetics and aluminous gargles, which produced no effect. At i -l- n, rv- n j 3 r j jeugiu ur. ue uruuu uaiue, uuu iuuuu tue tonsils greatly Bwollen, and a false membrane covering them. He immediately administered small pieces of ice, and by the following morning the tumefaction of the tonsils bad diminished by half, and the false membrane bad nearly disappeared.?

Profiting by this example, a few days after her brother was seized with sore throat, presenting tho same preliminary symptoms < as those of his sister: but he, without wai- '< ting for the doctor, at onae took some ice, and was rid of his sore throat in a few hours. 1 Some days later, Dr. De Grand was aum- 1 moned to a young lady who bad been labor- 1 ing under tho disease for some forty-eight ' hours; all remedies had failed, and tbe 1 parents, relations and friends of tho family ' were plunged in the deepest sorrcfor. Whet Dr. De Graod ordered ice, a general cry of 1 astonishment was uttered by all present.? 1 Ice for a sore throat! Imnossible 1 It 1 was sheer mordcr! Dr De Grand mt'titained bis gruuod, and after muoh expostu 1 lation, during which muoh time was lost, 1 he obtained his end. Before twenty-four J hours were over, the patient was in full 1 convalescence. Beiog at Vera Cruz on s mission, he was requested to see a young ( man who was attacked with malignant sore throat, and bad been treated without effect by cauterizations with hydrochloric acid and ' astringent gargles. Here again he had to < battle with the prejudices of the family, but was at length allowed to administer ice.? The young man recovered in the course of the following day. Dr. De Grand has now been using this remedy for the last twelve < years, without having met with a single i failure.

We had a very interesting conversation with a well informed gentleman, lately arrived in this city, from the United States, and who has had. excellent opportunities of gaining information in different sections of oar enemy's country. He attended a public meeting in Ohio, which was addressed by Mr. Pugb-, the | candidate for Lieutenant-Governor cn the Vallandigham ticket. He says Mr Pogh | used bold lunguage in his denODciatious of | the Lincoln Government, and their mode' | of conducting the war and the objects sought { by it. He says the opposition arc united in Ohio aguinst the Republicans, and will ( elect V^allaodigbam, if Burnside does not t interfere with the freedom of elections, as a he did in Keotucky. I In the city of New York, the peace l)e- mocracy are in the majority, but in the , State are split up into factions, the war Democrats probably having the majority ? The programme of the three parties may be thus stated: The Republicans will agree I to notliing less than the complete subjuga- ( lion bf the South; the emancipation of the s slaves; the confiscation of all property, and f the destruction of our State Governments. ) The war Democrats declare, if they sue- t ceed, they will offer to the South the "Con- b stitution as it is, and the Union as it wa3 z with the repeal of the confiscation laws; the t withdrawal of the emancipation procluma- l tion, and a general amnesty; which, if the a South refuse, they will carry oq the war till d the Southern States submit. 1 The peace Demooracy will offer the same tl terms to the South as the war Democrats; ii but jf they decline a reconstruction of the 1< Union, they will let them go in peace, soon- A er than attempt a constrained Union. o It was the belief in New York, if Gov. b Seymour bad resisted the draft, he would b have been sustained by the people; but si want of nerve, and the influence of Dean d Riohmoad, made him succumb. a Persoos of intelligence declured to him I that had it not been for the fall of Vicks- a burg and the falliog back of our troops'in f< Pennsylvania; Lincoln could never have ai enforced the draft. tl Many thousands of Meade's troops have w been detaohed in order to be sent to Charlestoa; and though the conscripts, in considerable numbers, are sent to reinforce the ft Army of the Potomao, thej desert uearly as 8| fast as they arrive. It is his opinion, that tl Meade has no iotentiou of advancing'or of tl fighting, for some time to come. S The negro regiments are sent farther si South. The white eofdiers, iu the Army t( of the Potomao, are bitterly opposed to the negroes, and express their contempt and hatred on every occasion. The Confederate cause has many sympathizers in Baltimore?probably a considerable majority?but they are held down, and crushed under the military yoke of the Lincoln Government. Great apprehension was felt in Washington of an attack by Gen. Lee on Meade.? Fears were still felt of European intervention ; but the Yankees were made to believe, by Seward, that if Charleston wa^oaptured, then all danger of intervention wonld be at an end. * Otur prisoners are treated with great cruelty. No one is permitted to give our siok and wounded anything, without also giving to the Yankees One thousand of our prisoners are confined in the Baltimore jail, where the mortality is very great.

A Yankee Letter Bag?Interesting Disclosures.?The letter bag of the United States ganboat Ottawa, with letters to friends at home, dated as late as the 29th ultimo, floated ashore on Sittarday night, and is in the possession of Headquarters. By letters from the Captain (Lieutenant Commanding William Whitney,) to his wife, and by those of other officers, we are informed that the Yankees have entertained the idea of breaking up oar harbor obstructions by night operations, and aotnaliy made the attempt last Wednesday night with their Monitors and two gunboats, of which the Ottawa was one. "Violent squalls of rain and wind" are given as a reason for their having tamed back before reaching the obstructions, of which our Yankee neighbors have apparently so wholesome a dread and so high an estimate. The attempt, they say, was to be made again on 1 the night of the 29th ultimo, Saturday, and as it was not done, it is to be presumed that 1 stormy weather again intervened, between 1 the Monitors and oar obstructions, which I stand intact. We notice the Captain qf 1 the Ottawa was sick on the 29th. How- ( uver, this did not prevent him from writing ( model letters fur bis friends, in bisloug and 1 minute descriptions of his daily life and events, and in the expression of his ardent 1 sonjngal affections. From this effusion we learn, as was anti* 1 cipated, that very many of their officers in the fleet "arc breaking down and being sent 1 home continually, from the incessant wear and tear on them in this hot climate." 1 It appears, in the attempt to destroy our abstractions, the Passaic got aground, and was near being abandoned by her crew. The Ottawa has thrown 80,000 pounds of shot andshell, and burned 11,000 pounds of powder.? Charleston Mercury. 0 * General Orders, No. 27. Headquarters Cavalry Division, A- N. V., \ August 6,1SG3.

The State of oar Finances. * Oar readers will be much interested in a letter whicb we publish to day (says tbe South -Carolinian) from Mr. Meoiminger, Secretary of tbe Treasury, to Senator Hunter^ of Virginia. Mr. Memminger givee a very encouraging view of tbe State of onr finances, and of the happy operation of tbe measures now in force. The funding, he f t 1 l ? li:_- til miorma as, nas oeen eminently euccessiai. The taxes which are now being collected, the tax in kind, the sales of cotton bonds and the measures which are hoped of Congress when it meets, Mr. Memmingerlopks to as sufficient to restrain any farther increase of oar cnrreacy. These are words of good cbecr, which we are delighted to send oat to the coaatry.. If oar people will rally to the support of the finances? if, instead of looking here and there for the means of investing thefr money,-ithey will invests portioo iu Government stocks?they will reduce the circulation, and thus make their remaining money more valuable, and will help the Government in carrying on the war..

We copy from the Mobile Tribune: It has beeu stated that two guos, carrying 600 pouod8 of metal?both fourteen Feet loog and of fearful appearance?have been received at Charleston. They are, tre are told, Blakely guns, made especially to encounter the best iron-olad vessels that can be constructed. They have, too, been thoroughly tested and Ore with the accuracy of the best smaller ordoance, and to a rjuoh greater distance. It is stated, also, that Charleston has just been supplied with i> score or so of those mischievous instruments, the Parrot gun, wbioh possesses great rauge, accuracy, and an enorooous penetratioer power.
