TWO DAYS LATER FROM THE NORTH.
ARRIVAL OF THE QUAKER CITY.
The side-wheel steamship Quaker City, Captain
VTMsTB, from New York, which place she left at 5*
I>. If., on Saturday la??, arrived hero yesterday.
-Through the attention of her purser, Mr. F. W,
Ely, wc havo been placed in possession of the
New York papers up to Saturday afternoon, the
7th inet., from which we mnko up the following
(UE.-VICRAL. I?ITLLI.IGENCE.
In tho Convention of the Episcopal Church in
Philadelphia, on tho Cth ?nut., a resolution was
offered giving thanks to God for thoappearancoof
delegates from three of the lately rebellious States,
as a token of the future complete reunion of tho
Church North and South, over which there was
Home discussion, one member strongly opposing it
as offering a premium for rebellion; but It finally
passed. Some debate also took place over the
question of the provincial organization of dioceses,
and, in order to give the Southern member? an
opportunity to co-operate, it was agreed to trans
fer tho matter from the ?marge of the Committee
Off Canons to a special committeo of thirteen. A
number ?>f other matten of a miscellaneous nature
were noticed, but nono of gcnoral interest.
Wo have some additional contradictory item?
frpm Mexico. A St. Louis paper has started a re
port that President Juarez lias deserted his coun
try and arrived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which 36
no doubt utterly groundless. Tho telegraph from
New Orleans reports that the imperialist? at Mata
moras arc again anlietcdwith a Cortina scare, it
being stated that that redoubtable chieftain lias
united with Canales and Eseobedo, and, with a
combined force of twelve hundred republicans, is
marching on tho frightened city. Scmi-oJlicial
news received in Washington yesterday says that,
notwithstanding the proclamations of the imperi
alist General, Crinconrt, to the'licet thai ho was
received with enthusiasm in Chihuahua, his re
ception was very cold, and thai he was compelled
to declaro martial lav on the next day after his
arrival,
The members of the North Carolina Convention,
whose movements during the first four dayB of tho
?session appeared slow, yesterday went to work in
ear'ncot, and to somo parp?te. They passed, by a
unanimous vote, an ordinance declaring that tho
ordinance of tho Convention of 17S9, ratifying tho
Constitu? ton of tho United States, and alllcgiela
iive acts ratifying amendments thoreto, aro now,
nyd have boon ever since their enactment, in full
force and effect, notwithstanding the '-supposed
ordinance" of Secession, which, if is further de
clared, in now. and has at all times nine?; its pas
sage, been null and void. This, in effect, is an of
ficial ayowal that the State has novcr been out of
the Union. Governor Holden cmmiunicatCB this
intelligence in a dispatch to tho Pr?sident, and
adds that the ordinance forever prohibiting slavc
rv in the State will be disposed of to-day, and that
the Stale elections will be flxed for the 2d of No
vember. Ono of tho Raleigh correspondents, in
speaking of the character and sentiments of the
men wh_ compose tho Convention, says that the
majority of them aro not only strong Union men
but arc, and were, during the rebellion, bitter anli
Scccssionists. In many districts, at tho election
for delegates, where moderato or doubti'ul"Union
ists of superior talents wore opposed by strong
and undisnuto?! Union men of only moderato abil
ities, the latter were successful, idiowing that a
healthy national sentiment pervades tho people.
Vice Admiral Farragut and his ?wife, accompa
nied by several gentlemen, on Friday, (1th inst,
Visited Publie School No. 15, in Brooklyn, and met
with ??n ontlm-riastic reception from teachers and
B?Lolnrs.
.The gentlemen composing the embassy from
Tunis were still in New York on Friday, 6th inst.,
ami were busily engaged in visiting and viewing,
various objects of interest, including Wall-street,
the New York Historical Society rooms, and Bra
dy's gallery. In tho evening they paid a visit to
th<: American Instituto fair.
Bobert E. Lee, cx-Gcnoral-iu-chicf of the rebel
armies, was installed President of Washington
College, at Lexington, Va., on tho 2d inst. The
ceremonies were of a very unostentatious charac
ter, in compliance with General Lee's request, but
contrary to tho wishes of many connected with
and taking an interest in the college, who desired
to have the installation atteuded with considera
ble pomp and display.
Tho wirz trial has now been going on since the
26th of August. One hundred and twenty-five
witnesses were examined for tho prosecution, their
examinations occupying twenty-three days, and
the record of their testimony idling nearly three
thousand foolscap pages. The case for tho <le
1'cncc was opened on the 26th ult., and tlms far
seventeen witnesses, out of ono hundred and six
subpoenaed, have been examined, and fifty-five
altogether have reported themselves.
, In tho highly interesting divorce suit nt New
London, tho examination of Miss Jennie Harris
was concluded on Thursday. Mr. Jonathan N.
Harris, ono of tho petitioners, was then examined,
and testified in full as to somo of his wife's alleged
indiscretions. He gavo an interesting history of
his troubles with his wife, their origin and result?.
Ho docs not swear t? any positive knowledge of
any criminal conduct on hor part further than in
discretion with Mr. Scoville, which ho witnessed.
He admits having struck lier, or "boxed her jaws,"
and having choked her on ono occasion in an
effort to "clioke the truth out of her."
John Van Buren, in a great speech at Albany
(N. Y. ), has come out for President Johnson for
the next Presidency. Ho tolls the people that it is
Johnson against Sownrd, Johnson against Chase
and negro suffrago, domocraey against federal
ism, State rights against consolidation, and lo
{joes for Johnson for another term. John has
lad a talk with the President, and finds him as
sound as a roach on democratic principles. John,
who has never been anything but a democrat,
with a little dash of Buffalo freesoil, anil who has
never supported anything but a democrat, ex
cepting Charlea Francis Adams, knows what
democracy is by instinct, knows that Andy John
son is sound, and so proclaims him, as ?. demo
crat, his candidate for the succession. Ho makes
this proclamation to the democracy of Albany,
gathered en majse around him, and they respond
with lusty cheering.
Gen. Grant is the recipient of a novel present
from the Ladies' Social Circle of Eureka, Hum
boldt county, California. It is a silk bed-sproad,
one sitie of which is composed of rcil and white
strips of silk, while tho other is blue silk ground,
upon which arc neatly wrought, in the national
eolors, thirty-six miniature tlags?ono for each
State, with the name ?if each embroidered upon
the blue ground of each little flag. In tho centre
is the coal of arms, and motto, JSptui'tbue unum,
with the following inscription embroidered in yel
low silk : "To.Lie.itonant-Geiioral Grant, U. S. A.,
from the Ladies' Social Circle of Eureka, Hum
boldt, California." The articlo brought ?800 at a
Sanitary Commission Fair in California.

General Grant's longest speech was dolivcrcd on
his recent visit to Batavia, Ohio (Ins birthplaco).
It was as follows :
"Ladit.s and Gmi-nxsir.N or Brown County :
You aronllawaro that I am not in tho habit of
making speeches. I am glad that I never learned
toi"?a-,ki 8recchcs when 1 was young, and now I am
old I have no dcBir<3 to begin. I hud rathor Btart
out in anything else than in making a speooh.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I can only say to
Ci.that it affords mo very much ploosuro to got
k to Brown county, whero my boyhood was
spout." -.*-. ? i
. Tho New York papers say thai Mr. R. 39, Bhktt,
Jr., of this city, had an audience with the Presi
dent some days since, and that ho also visited the
F/OC^man's Burean. . They appear to givo an ex
aggerated account of these? jtotcryiowo, aa far as we
can judge.

treasure for New York, and $342,000 for England.
The email town of Eureka, on Humboldt Bay,
was violently shaken by an earthquake on Sunday,
24th inBt. Nearly every chimney was torn down
or cracked, and goods in the stores thrown from
tho sbelveB, and mach crockery broken. The
d ama go in estimated at several thousand dollars.
Dates from Kanagawa, Japan, to August 2C,
havo been received at Ban Francisco. The receipt*1
from the interior had been liberal, but the extreme
prices demanded by tho natives almost precluded
purchases. Silks bad also advanced eo much a?
to check bnsincB8 ? stocks wem accumulating.
There was an active demand for silkworm eggs for
export to Europe. Exchange on London anil Chi
na was lower. There was nothing new in political
nfTnirs. Tho birth of Napoleon I. was celebrated
during tho week preceding August 25, at Hakoda
di?all tho residents of foreign birth participating
apparently with equal interest. The fete wound
up with races and a regatta, and is noticeable as
showing tho great cordiality iu that mixed com
munity.
Professor J. D. B. DoBow i? in Now York mating
arrangements preliminary to starting his Review.
He declares it to bo his "purpose, in the futr.ro.
to give it a national character, and to devote all
his energies and resources to the development of
the great material interests of tho Union?its com
merce, agriculture, manufactures, internal im
provements and general industry."
Further returns of tho late election in Missis
sippi indicate that General Humphrey? baa been
chosen over Judge Fisher for Governor.
A. M. West is elected to Congress from tho
Fourth district. He is a good Union man. C.
E. Walker is doubtless elected Attorney General of
the State. Ho is au eminent lawyer.
Tho Lighthouse Board is constantly directing
tho re-establishment along the Southern coast of
lighthouses destroyed during the late war. Large
appropriations will bo required to put the coast
in the condition it enjoyed prior to lHlil. Nearly
every lighthouse from Capo Henry down tho At
lantic and Gulf coast, with the exception of a few
in Florida, wero destroyed, tho structures being
torn down and the lenses broken or carried away.
The New Orleans and Jackson Railroad has
been completed through to Canton, Mississippi,
and trains will soon commence running.
Geo. N. Sanders, it is said, lias been appointed
a postmaster in Canada.
[J-'rorn the Regular Correspondent of'.he Eve:::ig Post.]
Washington, Oct. (J.*?Persons who are samo*
what intimate with the Secretary of the Treasury,
assort that he has made up his mild respecting I
tho policy for the future, which ho will urge unoii
Congress for adoption. In a word, it is a policy
which tho Evening Post has steadily advocated?
one of contraction. Assurances havo been sent
abroad to tho financial centres of Europe, that
such will unquestionably be tho financial policy of
the Government. The President is known to*fa
vor it.
TUT- rilKPIDKNT.
The President expects to make a plcasmo trip
South next week. It is really a pleasure excur
sion, and has no reference to "reconstruction.*
He has been overworked of late, and must have a
little recreation beforo tho excitements of a Ion g
session of Congress are upon him.
PARDONS.
An erroneous impression prevails with the pub
lic as to the number of pardons thus far granted
by the President, some estimates placing it as
high as twenty-five thousand. Wo ascertain, on
official authority, that the number up to and in
cluding tho warrants signed this day is but two
thousand six hundred and fifty-eight. More than
three-fifths of these have been granted within the
past ten days, and the business now averages from
fifty to one hundred and fifty per day. Bnt as yet
the number issued does not exceed one-sixth of the
applications on file. To-day tlysro were fifty-eight
pardons issued. Among thoso lately pardoned is
L. Pope Walker, the first rebel Secretary of War?
tho man who gave the order to open fire upon Fort
Sumtcr. He has haunted the Executive Mansion
for a month, and forced himself beforo tho Presi
dent in advocacy of his own claims until ho finally
succeeded. It is proper to state that tho Cabinet
have declined to recommend tho pardon of any of
tho excopted classes, save thoso coming under tho
thirteenth exception, known as tho twenty thou
sand dollar class. Tho Attorney General mukes
no indorsement upon tho applications of the other
twelve classes, and they are filed away separately
for future consideration. When a porson included
in any of these elassos is pardoned, it is dono by
tho President upon his own responsibility and in
the oxcrciso of that Exccutivo clemency for which
he is not obliged to give a reason. Thus with Mr.
L. P. Wetter,
THE VETERAN' RESERVES.
The Secrotary of War has beforo him a commu
nication, signed by the prominent Senators and
Representatives in Congress from all tho States,
earnestly protesting against tho mustering out of
the twenty-four rogiments of Votoruu Reserves
now in service. They ask that, if it is intended to
reduce tho troops to tho necessities of a peaco es
tablishment, the volunteer forccB now scattered
throughout the country and anxious to' be
mustered out, bo dispensed with first, thus 1
leaving in the .service only tho regular army
and the Veteran Reserves, which, combin?e!,
amount to fifty-seven rogiments. Most of
these regiments need recruiting. They also ask
that pernuHsJon bo granted to tho Veteran Re
serves to recruit their regiments up to the full
number. It is urged as one of tho reasons for re
taining theso troops, that most of them havo re
ceived! during tho lato war, such bodily injuries
as unfit them for the ordinary business avocations;
and as the- promptly and patriotically volunteered *
to put down the rebollion at its commencement,
they should bo retained iu the service, and espe
cially as it is now known that a regular force will
lie required equal to that of tho regular army and
the Veteran Reserves combined. Secretary Stan
ton holds tho matter under advisement and for
consultation with Gen. Grant, on hin return to thiB
L-ity.
