NEWS SUMMARY. Gold closed in New York yesterday at 139?. Cotton closed in New York at 27*a28c. for Mid? dling Uplands. Cotton in Liverpool was quoted yesterday at lOid. An extensive strike is going on among tho 03lliers of tho Oldham district, in England. Out of twenty-two pita only six are workiug. and about nino hundred mon, besides a large number of lads, are now idle, protesting against a reduction of twopence per ton in their wages-. Professor AGASSIZ bas written a letter to M ELLE . DE BEAUMONT, describing tho geological character of tho Amazon valley. Ho says that tho valley - consists of a species of mud, of whick portions ? aro extremely hard. It ex. ends from Para to Peru, and appears to rest on a cretaceous deposit. Tho rivT has ont its bcd through tho mud, and this Litter bas. in somo instances, a depth of nearly a thousand foot. Twenty thousand Swiss women earn a comforta? ble living by watchmaking. Tboy make tho move? ments, and even mostly pu* them together. A fow women are finishers. The English Woman's Beview says: "Genova has refused to employ women, and totally lost tho watch trade. No ac of the so-called Genova watches are made there, but iu Neuf cha tel, where women bavo always been em? ployed." Among the papers captured at Queretaro, it has b?en ascertained, was a letter from MIUAMON to MAXIMILIAN, protecting against the appointment of MASQUEZ to a military rank higher than bis own. MARQUEZ was, however, appointed to such a rank, and thia ri va1 ry between himself and MIRA? MOS, taken in connection with other matters, loads to the belief that MASQUEZ really was not loyal to MAXUHLJAH. A shocking tragedy occurred near Union City, Olin county, Ey., on Monday. A negro man broke Jail in that town on tho preceding Friday, repair? ing to tho honso of an aged and highly respected widow lady named CHARAM, outraged her, and then fie h Two sons of tho injured woman followed tho -wretch to Hickman, Ey., arrested him, and, tak? ing him back to near the scene of tho outrage, shot him dead, and then Bovored his head from his body. A watchmaker of Washington, D. C., bas just completed a fine chronometer watch, intended as a present from President JOHNSON to the Tycoon of Japan. Tho watch is a most beautiful pieco of workmanship. It is a hunting caso of tho finest eighteen carat gold, vary thick and heavy. On the inside of the lid is tho following inscription : "To his Majesty the Tycoon of Japan, from tho Presi? dent of the United States, 1867." The works aro of tho finest kind, and ttie watch is jeweled throughout. The style of chain has not yet been selected. The enormous cannon exhibited by England at tho Champ de Mars are about to be surpassed in magnitude and destructiveness by a French mon? ster gun cast at Ruelle, and which is now on its way to the exhibition. This gigantic engine of war was accompanied by immense crowds of people in its difficult transit from the foundry to the railway station at Angouleme. The reports Bay that tho greatest curiosity and ' 'admiration" were expressed by the multitude at this most powerful piece of ordnance, which weighs more than 76,000 lbs., and was drawn by thirty-six powerful horses. It is as? serted that a second monster gun, upon the samo model, is in a very forward state at Ruelle. The Montgomery Advertiser, of the 26th, says: The returns received by Col. WM. H. SMITH, Chief of Registration in this State, foot np thus far whites 27,229, colored 48,547; total 75,776. The work is not near complete, and it is thought tho registry hats will amount to considerably over one hundred thousand. When it is remembered that the census returns of 1866 show one hundred and five thousand to be tho number of white males over twenty-one years of age, the indifference manifested is really appalling. If Alabama goes into the keeping ot the enemies of her native sons and daughters, the cruel indifference of some of her own people will be one prime cause of it. According to the Financial Chronicle, there is in the whole world 95,727 miles of lailroad. Of this number the United States has 36,896; Great Britain and Ireland 18,288; France 8982; Prussia 6794; Austria 3830; Italy 3213; Russia 2775; British India 8379. Of European counties Norway has the ' smallest number, 43 miles. In South America ~~T- fa I ' , - - ? the smallest, 82. South America has a total of ? 1041 miles. Canada, with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, has 2436. Taking the world by divi? sions, North and South America and the West In? dies have 40,866 miles. Europe has 50,117; Asia 8660; Africa 875; Australasia 8007, or a total in the world of 96,727. Information from Florida states, says the Wash? ington correspondent of the New York Times, that the late Republican Union Convention held at Tal? lahassee was a decided success, and that the plat? form adopted embraced a most unequivocal en? dorsement of the reconstruction policy of Con? gress. When the Convention was first organised considerable sectional jealousy was evinced be? tween tho delegates from Eastern and Middlo Florida, but before the adjournment all differences were healed add the greatest un ani mi ty of feeling prevailed. A resolution tendering tho thanks of the Contention to Gen. POPS, for the manner in which he has executed his duties as District Com? mander, was unanimously adopted. ' The French are making fresh discoveries of bitu? minous shale, capable of yielding petroleum by distillation. One of the most recently worked de? posits ia that of Vagnas, in Ardeche, which has been carefully described by M. L. SIMONIN. It be? longs essentially to the tertiary formation, and is more strictly of the "bog-head" type than of the bituminous ehalo series. Its texture is dense and compact, resembling a carbonized and compressed peat. The peaty character is still further shown by the presence of a number of vegetable fibres, which may be seen with the naked eye, and which pass from the surface into the interior of the de? posit. This substance yields about five per cent, of tho pure oil and a larger quantity of secondary products. A complaint has been made to the standing committee of the diocese of New York, which is likely to prove of mach interest to the public, as it will decide the question whether an Episcopal clergyman can preach in churches of other denom? inations. It appears that a few Sundays ago, Rev. STEPHEN H. TTNQ, Jr., of this city, who is a low churchman, preached in a Methodist cb arch in New Brunswick, New Jersey, both morning and evening, in .disregard of the remonstrance and prohibition of the Rev. Dr. STUBBS, Rector of Christ Church. This aroused the ire of the latter, and on the following day proceedings wore begun against Mr. Tv NO for his breach of church law. A formal presentment was made to Bishop ODEN HETJCKB, who, in accordance with the canon, trans? mitted a copy of it to the standing committee of this diocese. If tho offender is brought to trial tho case will, no doubt, prove an exciting one. Some months sinco a war broke out in tho Ban? ner office, at Nashville, winch resulted in a com? plete rupture* between the publishers and tho Ty? pographical Union, The other day, in consequence of a break in tho Banner press, tho forms wero sent tc tbo Press and Times office, and were, as a matter of course, printed ; but Mr. Windham, pub fisher of the Press and Times, received an order that he must not do any moro printing, under any circumstances, for the Banner, Regarding this order as an unwarrantable interference with his business, Mr. W. paid off and discharged all tho compositora in his office belonging to tho Union, L end Mr. WATTEBSON, of the Banner, went North to r procure compositors for both establishments who are not members of tho Union. Meanwhile, such proprietors and editors of theso journals as aro practical printers have rolled up their sleeves and gone vigorously to work until help can bo obtain? ed. The Typogiaphical Union printers aro ex? ceedingly belligerent, and mean to fight it out to bitter end. A special dispatch Irom Omaha to the St. Louis -RepubKcati, says: "The investigation of the alleg? ed brutal whipping of a citizen by a soldier at Fort Sedgwick, ordered by Gen. GRANT, bas been con? cluded. The testimony of all the officers of the 30th Infantry, and several citizens, prove the whip? ping of Lo co HU, or, alias HENDRICKS, to have been entirely a personal assault by tho sergeant, who testified that he inflicted tho punishment os his own act and will, without orders, the man having traded whiskey to the soldiers for arms and cloth? ing, causing the mon to become brutalized and dangerous. No citizen was present at the time of the flogging, which was simply a few strokos across the back with a gun sling. Lieut. LAUTZ, hearing the outcry, immediately stopped tho flogging and released the man. There was no lacerated flesh and no signs of blood seen. The man walked off immediately with a brisk stop. Gen. DODGE was two miles from tbs scene and know nothing of it. No soldier was ever whipped, staked, tied or exposed to buffalo gnats for stealing or any other offence. Th* stories were pure fabrications of cruelty and sensational, and put in circulation by tho late em? ployee of subsistence, but who had boen dismissed for suspected peculation. CURRENT TOPICS. THE KOBI FEEVALEXT of all delusions is sclf-dc lusion. No ono h um buss us so thoroughly as we humbag ourselves. And in no particular aro wo moro self-deceptive than in tho habits that arc boru of our appetites. Wo aro continually making oxeases for them, instead of openly avowing and justifyingour inclinations. Thus they become toxbidden fruit, and thus tho danger of illicit in? dulgence is heightened. So nindi of artificial stimulus enters into our lives -moral, montai, and physical, Ibo periods of reaction and d.-pivsdou atc inevitable, practically unavoidable. Therefore recourse is had to tho inspiriting dovicos alluded to iu tho following, from tho L.-udon Lancet : "Tho growing tendency of those whoso lives are gent?o, and whoso minds are educated, to indulge inalcholic stimulation, isa fact which thc profes? sion would do well to recognizo and protest against. Tho vico is not the vice of our grandfathers, tho bott lo or two of port which often laid them under the dinner table, and always sent them reeling into tho drawiug room. Tho sin of our day is less obtrusive and cvon moro disastrous. It takes tho form of au occasional glass at odd times during thc day, an extra doso at lunch, a glass of sherry or two more or loss frequently in the courso of tho af? ternoon, another from the tablo when thc cloth is laid for dinner. Not uncommonly a flask of sherry ac? companies tho blue book in tho carriage. And it is worth nothing that this kind of tippling is not dono in secret. So far, indeed, from this, it is rather a matter of boasting on thc part of thost who indulge in it, and thoy press others, often warmly, to follow their example. Sometimes, it ie true, a mild kind of excuso is offered. The doso is taken "just to keep ono up, you know," or as 'whet before dinner." Just as often, when soda or seltzer water suggests itself as a refreshment, tho question arises whether its accompaniment shall be brandy, sherry, or liquor. Tho idea of taking it alone is not entertained. It is described as "weakening," "too cold for the stomach," and so on. Not so frequently, it is to bo hoped, but still often enough to bo of serious moment, theso odd glasses of sherry, brandy and soda, dry cura? coa, &c, aro taken in tho morning between break? fast and lunch, sometimes even before breakfast. In tho course of timo the results of theso indul? gences do not f;il to present themselves in tho nausea and retching which accompany tho moining toilet, the husky forenoon voico, tho want of appe? tite for breakfast, tho vaguo dyspeptic symptoms which lurk about during tho day. Moro remotely it is for a shattered nervous system that tho patient-or "person"-seeks rcliof from the physician. Society is on its knoos just now con? fessing, always in a polite and "respectable" way, its sins of omission or commission in regard of dross, luxury, paint, and demi-monde. It behoovos 1.the medical profession to sec that tho vice de? scribed is included in tho list. WE HAVE RECEIVED tho following communica? tion (says one of our Southern exchanges) from Prof. W. F. ROE, of FJmira, New York. Thoso of ] our readers who have relatives or friends that died at Elmira, by addressing Prof. ROE, will probably be able to ascertain what disposition was mado of j their bodies. Tho caro that is being bestowed on the "ashes of our dead," is moro calculated to bring about an era of good feeling and genuine re? construction than all that Congress has done since the termination of th J war. In behalf of our peo? ple, we hereby thank the citizens of Elmira, for their kindness and consideration, and our corres? pondent for informing us of the facts : "When tho prisoners of war wcro sent to Elmira, tho United States bought an unoccupied corner of Wood-Lawn Cemetery, in the suburbs of that city, for govern? mental use. On that ground, apart, reposo to? gether tho war-wrecked sons ot thc South who died in tho Elmira Prison Camp. Out of J 12,000 prisoners, in all, sent to that placo, from timo to time, during ono year, from t tiree to four thousand of tho bright and bravo perished. Tho spot hallowed by their graves is beautifully envi? roned. The circling hills close in a varied and uniquo landscape, and curtain it with repose. A little stream, mostly murmuring gently, marks off their place "under the shado of tho troos beyond." But at times it is wild, and threatens ruinous and desecrating violence; yet at mid-summer it is often dry. This has lately been deepened and planked, on bottom and sides, to fix and clear its course. The Government is having this portion of Wood Lawn surrounded by an iron railing, and will soon I replace tho noat but frail bead-boards with othors of galvanized iron, bearing in full tho namo anc description of oach of tho dead. Hero and thero 1 growth, spreading wide the blessings cf Nature. Official care has planted other troos. Kind hands have privately added still more, mingling ever? greens and weeping-willows with tho maplo, and planting, now upon ono grave and now upon an? other, some memorial flower. 1 A LONDON JOURNAL says: "The costumo of tho fashionable Londoner just now is a marvel, and it is very difficult for those of ns whom tho conver? sion Of the Tories to household suffrage has not yet prepared for any change, not to broak f rth into laughter when we seo the lair creatures who lately occupied the jrholo of tho pavement when walking singly, now walking six abreast in gar? ments suggestive of - Brighton bathing machines rather than tho London stree ta. Thoy havo shrunk up almost to a lino, which, mathematicians toll us, I has length but no breadth-always excepting their coiffures. It is quite possible now for a woman to be in one street and her chignon in tho next. For ! once the eccentricities of female attire aro being copied by the men. They, too, have adopted the swathing system, aud ono seos nether garments now that are not only inexpressible but inexplica? ble. How their wearers got into them, how Ly I any process except bandaging these wonderful apendages are donned is a marvel. As to hats, thero is a race geing on just now botween dandies I and oar fine lah es to see which can wear tho small? est head-dress. Next year wo shall be compelled to raise all our doorway in order to admit tho steeples that will then bo in fashion, for 'tis ovor the ? us tom of fools to rush into ext rem es. " A PRIVATE LETTER from Paris informs us, says the Round Tobie, that M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS is engaged on a new novel, tho scene of which is laid in America, the time being that of our civil war. It ia understood that many of tba details and in? cidents have boen furnished by tho eccentric equestrienne, ADAH ISAACS MENEEN HEENAN, or whatever else tho lady's namo may bo. Miss MENKEN is not without literary proclivities-ol' a certain order-and is reported to havo kept a jour nal, in which are amassed many remarkable oe currencoa, which ore to bo "workod up" in the now romaneo after M. DUMAS' own ?incomparable manner. A Southern Athos, Porthos and D'Ar tagnan may be expected to enliven tho story, and it is rumored thtt some celebrated personages who figured in New Orleans not long slnco will bo In? troduced in thin disguises. No ono is moro capa bio of manufacturing au intorosting story from such materials than M. DUMAS, especially with tho aid of so ingenious and enterprising a collabo? rator. THE ANNOUNCEMENT of tho safe arrival of tho life-saving raft at Southampton will causo many exclamations of Bnrpriso and wonder. "After this," it will bo said," it only remains to cross tho ocean in a wash-tub, or bowl, a little stronger than than that which broko down under thc three wiso men of Gotham." That is ono view-tho astonish? ing view-of the occurronce. But thero is another view, moro commonplace and sensible. Tho Non? pareil was a raft built expressly to save lives at sea. If she had fouudored in mid-ocean, that event would have proved that she is not a sufficiently good raft, for it is her business to keep above water when everything oise would go to tho bottom. Thc NonpareU fulfilled her function, and that is a" there is about it. Had she sunk, when sho was made expressly to float, with every contrivance to that ond, wo ought to have been more surprised than we now arc that she crossed tho ocean safely. Let no person presumo upon tho strength of her achievement to go to sea in a cockle-boat. THE MOBILE Di st T*JES of tho 2Gtl; says : Tho appeal of Gcnoral JA?"?S II. CLANTON for a State Convention of tho Conservativo men of thc State, is meeting with the approval of all truo mon, without distinction of races. Many honest and influential colored men have already enquired whether they would be admitted to tako part in I 1 its proceedings, and in tho preliminary meetings J ] which will precedo it, and wc have tho highest au? thority for answering that all suca will bo welcome, and duo regard paid to their interests. It is time to rally against the inroads of rr iscrcants and agi? tators, and prcsont a bold front against their in? vidious march among us, in soar m of blood and plunder. Wo had lorg sinco expressed tho hope that tho day was not far distant when tho most in? telligent of Ibo enfranchised classes would join any party having for its object ordor, security and prosperity. SOME PERSONS arc employed at Paris in collect? ing tho proclamations of Marshal IJAZAINE, in which he cxercisod tho most cruel severities to? wards tho republican party, while it is intended to give a list of thc persons shot by the Imperialists.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 81, 18G7. JOB WOBK.-We have now completed our office BO ns to execute, in the shortest possible time, ALIi KINDS OF JOB WORK, and we most respectfully ask thc patronage of our friends. OUR DUTY. Strange ns it may seem-and, we confess, to us it appears passing strange-after all that has been said and done, there aro many men in thc South, and, we regret to say, many men in South Carolina, who still insist upon regarding thc several Reconstruction Acts of Congress, as well as thc several other legisla? tive enactments, arising out of our changed relation, anti passed since thc close of the war, as mere temporary party measures. These, they think or pretend to believe, concern thc Badicals nt thc North, and, perhaps, thc color? ed people of the South; but can in no sense bc crn8iilered to have any essential bearing upon their own case. They labor under thc hallucina? tion thnt, as far as they arc concerned, they can cither accept or reject thc terms offered. This, in a measure, is true. We have a choice. But can wc afford to reject thc only terms that have ever been authoritatively offered us? Arc wc prepared to take thc consequences of such an alternative ? Our people cannot pretend to ignorance; for there has been sufficient agitation nnd elucida? tion to bring the lesson home to even thc dull? est comprehension. The Acts of Congress in themselves are sufficiently explicit; and so much has been said on thc subject in our news? papers and by our public speakers, that it is safe to assume that every one lins ere this had an opportunity to inform himself fully in rela? tion to its requirements. Wc know some of our people have been mis? led-in part owing to the blind guides whom they follow, but more because they choose to pursue the devious paths of opposition. Their leaders nre not, on this nccount, less blame? worthy for teaching n sullen opposition to thc laws of the country; nor. on thc other hand, arc they guiltless who will not register, or, if they ilo register, will vote for "No Conven? tion.'" This course seems the more surprising when we reflect that, do what wc will, thc Con? ventions will bc held, and thc State govern? ments will lie organized. If all the white peo? ple in the South entitled to vote will register, and vote for Conventions, they may accomplish very much in influencing nnd shaping thc fu? ture destinies of these States, if they hold off, however, nnd do not register, or vote against holding a Convention, they tie their own hands; for by the provisions of the Reconstruction Acts-with thc execution of which Congress charged the Commnnding Genernls of the Five Military Districts-every negro, twenty-one years of agc, has thc privilege of voting; mid ?Kia nriviluan. wc mav feel sure, he Kill exer? cise; so that, if not a single ex-Confcdcratc in thc ten Southern States should register, or if they should nil vote against Conventions, these Conventions would, nevertheless, bc held. But, say some, all that i i done under these Acts is necessarily provisional, nnd for thc same reason that Congress is anxious to gain our consent to these measures, though it bc a mere semblance only of assent, it should bc our aim to avoid giving such concurrence; for once these provisions are engrafted upon our State Constitutions (and they cnn only be engrafted legally by thc voluntary act of a considerable number of boiw fide while voters), wc can never debarrass ourselves of them. Now, sup? pose even this were so-and wc by no means concede the strength of such a position-is it nota mat'cr of absolute certainty-we judge by what wc see and hear-that a very consid? erable number of whites, Southern whites, will vote in favor of a Convention ? And this they will do from a conviction of duty, ns wc have indicated above. Then all that thc pas siviats will accomplish by their course, is to give overwhelming majorities to thc colored vote all over thc South. Now, however harm? less this clement of our population may be, if in full accord with us and wo with it, it is otherwise when we declare ourselves in Ihe opposition, and throw our colored fricuds, by our own acts, into thc arms of thc ex? tremists of thc North, already too much preju? diced against us. How long can the peace of the country bc preserved with such counsel? lors '! The negroes arc not hostile now, not even rivals ; but if tho people of I hose States should adopt the course advised by I'KUKY, BILL, etc., would they not speedily aud inevi? tably become both rivals ami enemies '! Thc Richmond Whig, in a recent article on "Thc Impolicy of Opposition," says : Io show thc futility ami impolicy of South? ern opposition to thc Republican programme in regard to reconstruction, it is only necessa? ry lo pursue thc following train of thought : That opposition should combine all of thc Southern whites, save those who adhered to Ihe Union during the war. It should Ito an or? ganized opposition, and act by means of party machinery. All ex-Confederates should belong to it. Its aim should bc to prevent the Repub? licans from carrying out their programme, lt should rest' its claims to the support of the Southern people upon thc assumption that Southern sentiment, or rather the sentiment of thc ex-Confedcratc whites, should prevail, and Ilia! thc ideas and views of thc conquering section should not bc permitted tn be intro? duced! Another assumption would be thal none but ex-Confcdcratc whites should be i?lected to office. Would not this bc a Confed? erate theory, and if such a party prevailed ifould it not. in effect revive and set in opera lion Confederate principles '.' This proposition will scarcely bc denied. Does not thc North know this as well as wc 'lo, ind can we bc so blind ns to suppose that after ighting for four years, at a sacrifice of nenrly i half million lives, and a loss of three thou? sand million of dollars, there is any, thc most remote, possibility that the North will, under tny circumstances, allow us to resume and ?arrj out any programme of our own-any Southern programme-least of all one squint ng, however faintly ami furtively, at Mic Con ederate system ! If wc suppose such ii (liing possible, wc deceive ourselves most grossly, md act. under a delusion destined to work an nconceivablo amount of mischief to thc for? tines of those most dear to us. Wc are not ipeaking of things as wc could wish them to )C, but as they really arc. The policy we ihotild like to sec would be one of such mng limimity as would leave opposition without thc ustification of thc merest pretext. Bul we .emember that wc arc thc coii(|uercd party, ind have no right to dictate a policy. That is he prerogative of the conqueror. What wc lave said shows thc futility of an organized pposition resting upon a Confederate b isis he only basis on which it could be erected, ifould it not be worse luau futile ? Would it not be in tbe highest degrer destructive of sill Mir best interests? We Ihiik :t would. There :au be no reasonable ilottbt on I his point. Thc whole North would be convinced that we are still 'in thc gall of bitterness,' thal wc hate tho Union, and that we aro still deter? mined lo carry on Ihc conic;!. It would bc in vain for tts lo explain our position by fine spun theories and nicely drawn distinctions. They would all be scouted, mid wc willi them. Thc answer of Ihc Rcpulilicanilod North would bc: .Von arc contumacious ani disloyal; without anns, your logic is that of men. who only want arms to make that logic effective. Wc will not trust you. Wc will draw your teeth nnd cut your claws to pr?voit jon from being dangerous in thc future.' The meaning of this would be disfrancli'ucmcnt and confisca? tion. These, in our view, will bc thc inevitable results of opposition to thc Republican pro? gramme-hence our drcaa of that opposition. Wc can sec small difference between those ex? tremists on thc one side win advocate disfran? chisement and confiscation and those on thc other who arc bent upon pursuing a course that will entail that punbhrncnt upon them? selves and their neighbors, and will make PARIAHS of all thc Southon whites. Wc hope thc lime will never conic ?vhen wc will prove insensible to the appeals ofhonor-true honor. Rut thc time certainly lia.' not come when wc can suffer false pride to betray us into thc er? ror, may wc not say thc crime, of sacrificing for naught thc present and future interests of thc people of our once proud and glorious, but now aftlictcd State.
