While the resolu tion is merely a declaration of opinion, it com prises no legislation, nor doea it confer any powor -which is binding upon the respective Houses, the Executive or tho State. He further says that the right of each House, under the Constitution, to jndgo of tho qualifica tions of its own members, is undoubted; aud that hia approval or disapproval of the resolution could not in tho slightest degree increase or diminish tho authority, in thia respect, conferred on tho two branches of Congress. But earnestly -desiring to remove every cause of further delay, whethor roal or imaginary, on the part of Con gress, to tho admission of tho loyal Senators and Representativo:? from Tennessee?notwithstand ing the anomalous character of the proceedings? ho affixes his signature to tho resolution. At the samo time his approval is not to be construed ae an acknowledgment that Congress haa the right Jto pass laws preliminary to the admission of Re presentatives from any of the States. Nor is it to be considered as committing him to all the atatementa of the preamble, oonio of which are .without foundation. Among them, he states -?that there is reason to behove that the Tonnoaaeo Legislature baa not ratified the late amendment passed by Congress. Pa? of tho Message was greeted with derisive danghter by tho Badicals, and with applause by rthe Democrats.

They were out of food aud water, in a suffering condi tion, and as an act of mercy, Mr. Mcuu.ii? and Mr. Oilliland set them acr?sB to Wilmington Island, wbore they now aro. They stated that they had left Tybee in the morning and had swam Laza retto Creek. They also saw, but did not remove, some twenty on Decent Ia'.aid, a part of Tyboe, and about a duzen on tho mud fiat. Some of the soldiers communicated with i. ta tod that two who had started with them had been left on the marsh to die, having been taken with crumps. Measures will promptly be takon to prevent any who havo left the island from oominv* to town. Jeff.

[FIIOM OUB OWN COBBEBrONDENT.] New Yonn, July 17?Oh, tho torriblo boat? tho boiling, baking, roasting, stewing, frying boat ?tbo aoorohing, parohing, melting heat. Oh, the morciloss sun, tho cruel, sultry, sweltering sun, cooking ?b as wo walk, and as wo ait, and as wo lio down, as wo go out of doors, or remain within our hot bonsoe, as wo cat, or drink, or sleep, cooking nB ever, never ceasing, over increasing? parchiug us, and roasting us, and showing no mercy. The thormomotor marking ono hundred degrees in the aliado?ono hundred and eighteen in the aun,?ovorybody melting with the intense heat, and yet too hot and Iaiguid to givo words to their sufferings?friends met in Broadway and epoko not but in pantomino. Mr. Noakos walking, without cravat or collar, would meet Mr. Stokos, innoceut of vest and making an impromptu fan out of his porspiriog hat, and looking at him wonld sigh, as who should say: "Qroat- Jerusalem, what horrible weather," in reply to which would Stoakes' hot lips iudulgo in a faint pantomimic movement suggestive of a naughty adjoctivo bo ginning with tho letter D and terminating in ablo. The hottest day in ton yoara?torribly hot, suffocatingly, uncompromisingly, hell-auggoBtivoly hot was yesterday. Tho me-thinka aixteentb of July, 1860, and aa I writo to-day, tho seventeenth, ia hotter still. On Sunday last, when the great war nows was reooived from Europe, tho Herald ieaued an oxtra, which came out at 11 o'clock, and six of the nowa boya who were selling said extra wore arrested by a Captain of Police, in the Fifteenth Precinct. Bennett is of opinion that said Captain carried hie religious scruples rather too far, and also car ried the nowaboys too far in taking them to tho station houso, whore they had no doaire to go, wherefore the great newspaper man has brought a suit against tho religions Captain, who will probably be made to sweat even more than he must necessarily perapire In thia hot weather. There waa a feaat of danoing and a flow of beer yesterday at Jones' Wood, whore tho German oabinot-makera aasembled to celebrate their an nual pic-nio. As there are no lesa than twonty two hundred members, and as all of them are first-class cabinet-makers, they ahould send a com mittee to Washington, where there seems to bo a general smash-up in the "Cabinet." The knights of the cae held a meeting yester day, in one of tho parlors of the Metropolitan Hotel, and formed a National Billiard Association, to hold regular annual tournaments for the cham pionship. The first regular tournament will be held in this oity, in September next. Lieutenant-General Quant, with Cols. Badeau and Paiikeii of his staff, arrivod at tho Metropoli tan yobterday. They are not, however, going to fight it oat on thia line the whole summer, as it would bo mach too hot a lino, bat are en route tor the placo where e t binet-makiog wonld be a capital business at present. The American emigrant ship Monarch of the Seas, which ia known to have sailed from Liver pool on the 19th of last March, for this port, having thuB been out four months, bas not yet been heard from, and great foara aro entertained that she has been completely wrecked. She had on board eix hundred and aovonty-four passen gers, besides a crew of fifty-four men and officers. All are supposed to be lost. Yesterday, a polico officer who waa on duty at pier No. 80 East River, seeing a carpet bag float ing ou tho water, proceeded to fish it up ? vidions of wot greenbacks floated in hia mind's oyo as tho carpet bag floated nearer towards him. Now he has it?in basto he opens it, and Oh 1 horror of horrors, he finds a dead baby. Hoaven knows how many such carpet bags aro sunk to riso no mora, are sunk to hide horrible crimos, resulting from tho truly depraved state of morals In all classes of society in this groat city, in which thero aro moro mysterious closet skeletons in ovory family than wero ovor dreamt of in Thacke bay'b philosophy. The New York Fire Department will be well represented at tho groat Paria Exposition, to be held in August, 18C7. A first-class "stoamor," the boat that can bo nude in Amorioa, will be sont ovor, accompanied by forty picked and gallant fire boye. Tho Italian Opera Troupe held forth last night (in Ernani) at Niolo's Garden, tor tbo bonofit of GAitinAi.ni. Tho audionco waa protty fair, oon aidoriug tho thormomotor, and the opera went off well.

There mast bo aa end to pleasuro and an end to pain, an end to sorrow and an end to joy. The war oven came to an end, and there is.no toll ing bat that we may ono day boo the laat retiring coat-tails of the Freodoion'a Bureau. Tho heated apell we have endured horo has provon no excep tion to the ralo?the hot weather haa been driven away effectually by tho thrioo bloaaed thunder storm that came to our roliof on Wedneaday. Taking duo advantage of the moat agreoable chango in tho weather, people esjoyod themselves yesterday to thoir heart's content, and crowdod tho thoatres last night. Fivo thousand lovers of tho turf turned out yesterday, and turned into the enclosure at Fashion Oourae, to witness, en joy, lose and win groenbaoka on the great trial for three thousand dollars between Dexter, Gen eral Butler, and Toronto Chief. Doxter waa tho winner ia throe straight heats, made in tho un precedented time of 2.24.}, 2.19, 2.22, beating the famous boats of 1'lora Temple, in the great con teat with George Bf. Patchen, m ado in 2 21, 2.24, 2.21 J. The shortest time made (2.19) has never been beat?n or equalled, except by Doxter himself, last summer, ia his trial against timo, when be made hia mile in 2.181-5. It must be borno in miad, however, that these races were under the siidd'e, and that, in harness, Flora Tomplo's timo hsB not boon equalled. Damo Rumor reports?and the Heraldpnblishea tho reoort?that one of our worthy City Fathers, who had made his pilo by successful oporations in the gold room, till said pile amounted to forty thousand dollars, has rocontly lost it all again at an innocont litllo gamo called faro. It ia also whisporod about that a well known politician and nowspapor man of this city did, on ono ovoniug last week, engage tho tiger caged in John Hb_ ri-sey's museum, whonco he carao forth trium phant with sixty thousand dollars moro than ho carried in. Joun Morrissey's miiBOUm is located in Twcnty fourth-streot, opposito tho Fifth Avenuo Hotel ; tho room is ?nmonso, and most magnificently fur nished ; tho supper table, which is always spread, is supplied with gano and tho choioost iiwiUb and wines ; and here, after you havo lost at tho little table at tho oxtrome end of the room, enough to pay oven for a dozen such suppers, you sit and partako, determined, at any rato, to get some thing for your money. Tho apparent nonchalance with whioh many of tho players would tako from tho pockets a couploof bills of the denomination of five hundred dollars (as though they woro shinplaalors for car ohango), invest thorn in a couplo of stacks of chocks? fwonty in oaoh?and then lose the chooks in a most refreshingly short space of timo, did much amaze your oorrospon dont. If any gentleman** has an inconveniently largo snpply of groonbacks, and dosires to be re lieved thereof in a manner at once oxpoditioue and stylish, he can choose no botter place for tho performance of the operation than John Morris - hey'h museum. No inconsiderable degree of alarm has been caused by tho sudden, the rapid, and the unex pected increaao in the numbor of obolera canes of late. Yesterday eleven new oases were reported, out of which six have proved fatal. Great fears are entertained that this dread diseaso may yet assume the form of an epidemio, and the Health Board are aotively employod in taking all possible precautionary measures for the prevention there of. The Morohants' Expresa Company have pur chased Taylob's down town saloon for $450,000, intending to oonvert this famous restaurant into an expresa office. Tbey have, however, already rogretting tho offer, made propositions for a re lease from the purchase by the payment of a cer tain amount. The society for the prevention of cruelty to an? mala is really a most humane and useful associa tion, and its President, Mr. Henry Bebob, is un doubtedly a benefactor of animal-kind. Yester day afternoon Mr. Beech entered a complaint against an inhuman driver of o*no of tho ?eventb Avenue Railroad oars, who was driving in a crowded oar a poor lame horse, with a running sore upon one of its logs. A warrant haB boon issued for the arrest of tho bipedal beast, and it is to bo hoped that the wrongs and suffer nga of the poor old horse may not pass unavenged. During the storm which, swept over the city on Wednesday, and which the people here insist upon denominating "a tornado," Lowe's haloon was high in tho air, and in it wore Harry Leslie, tho gymnast and tight rope man, pretty little Maoqie Mitchell, tho actress, and an old ladv, a relativo of Maggie's. When the storm aros o Leslie gave the signal to haul in the oable, and tho baloon was pulled down in safety. The tight rope man testi fies that no one was scared but the aged lady, and remarks that Miss MiTcnELL is a trump. Had the cabio parted there is no tolling but that all of them would have proved an exception to the prin cipie contained in the preamble to the child's conundrum about tho egg, that "what goes up must como dowD," or at least tbey would havo como down in parts unknown. Sinco tho change in the weather the theatres havo boon doing a much botter business; the per formances, however, are commonplace, and so we must bide our time and ?wait tho appoarancc of Adelaide Riston and Edwin Booth.

A. Tennessee Short Method. Tho Gopporhond m<>mbors of tho Tennoesoo Legislature, aa is well known, are trying to defeat tho passage of tbo Constitutional Amendment, by absenting themselves bo aB to pr<?vont a quorum. On Tuesday, last week, tho Speaker of the Houeo iaBiiod warrauta for tho arroxtoftho refractory members. Tho proceodings that followed woro somewhat rich Ono of tin? t-kuikers, named Ovcrtou, waa found in Knoxvillu, and speedily brought to tho House. Tbo others had fled, vowing armed resist anco should any attempt bo made to arrest them. Two deputy uerg?aut-at-RrmB got on tho track of one of tbo fugitivo legislature, and followed him to his homo fourteen miles beyond Carter's St ttion. About midnight they reached tho house, ami loudly knocked at tho door. Tbu unsuspici ous victim, whoso name was William?, protruded Inn hor.d to ask what was wanted, whoti ho was pouueed upon, clothed, or unclothed in his night shirt, in spite of the howls of his aroused family, and tho tears of his better-halt, and compelled to mount a mulo and Bet off through tho dark. Wil liams was long, and lank, and venomous, and the ridiculousness or the affair w ?a increaaod by his refusal to put on hia uumentionabloa until they ?vero drawn over his loga by a modost deputy. It soome that a body guard of guerillaB were to have boen collected tho next niorniiu*, but the sudden pursuit and capture beadod this off, and prevented armed resistance to arrest. Still, as the neighborhood was intensely rebt 1, the captors forced tho hard-riding mulo to show off her beat paces, keeping time to the grunts, grumbles and r ?pnmrions oat lu, of the representative of a slum bering constituency. The next morning Mr. Williame, lankor than usual, tired, unwashed, and inteneoly indignant, appeared at tbo bar of tho House, whore ho was greeted with an universal grin. When hia name waa callod, ho roso and refueod to answer, saying he was under arrest; that he had been seized in tho dead of night by two men, "one of whom waa a d-d niggor," and carried off on a spavined old mule; and, in tho namo of his outraged constitu ency, he domanded an immediate investigation. Tho Houso "investigated" him by entering hia name on the roll as "present," and ordoring the Sorgoaut-at-Arms to keep a sharp eye upon him. At last accounts, tho deputies were close after other fugacious members, with a fair prospect of obtaining a full House shortly, wbilo Bopreeenta tivo Williams was "chewing tho end of ewcot and bitter fancies," and meditating, no doubt, tha direst form of rovengo, particularly upon that "nigger."
