WASHINGTON, August 26_Johnson's and Grant's correspondence, relating to Sheridan's removal, was published this morning ia tho Now York Herald and Boston Post. Whits House gossip has the following : Sheri? dan, leaving the Fifth District in chargo of Harr suff, proceeds to the West, relieving Haucock, who then assumes paramount chargo of tho Fifth Dis? trict. They talk of Swayne as Pope's, and Meade as Sickles' successor. The Mexican Legation publishes documents showing that Escobedo's letters against foreigners are forgeries. The excitement in the New York gold room had its origin in an editorial which appeared in the National Intelligencer of this morning, which only tells an old story that the members of the Cabi? net, in view of Stanton's tenaciousness, had in? formally placed their offices at the disposal of the President. There is no probability of immediate Cabinet changes. Grant's letter to thc President says that the peo? ple who havo sacrificed their lives and spent their dollars for their country's preservation, aro entire? ly opposed to Sheridan's removal. He performed his duties faithfully and intelligently, and his re? moval will be regarded as an effort to defeat Con? gressional views, and embolden to renewed oppo? sition those who attempted to break tho Govern? ment by arms. General Thomas hos repeatedly objected to being placed in charge of either of tho five districts. Hancox' department is intricate, and he should not be removed. Grant adds, there are military, pecuniary and, above all, patriotic i reasons why this order should not bo insisted upon. The President, in replying, says he is not aware that the question of Sheridan's retention has been submitted to the people. It would be unjust to tho army to assume that Sheridan alone is capable of commanding the 5th District. Thomas' ad? ministration of tho Department of the Cum? berland will compare favorably with Sheri? dan's government of tho 5th District. Sheri? dan has'rendered himself obnoxious by his man? ner of executing the law and more by as suming authority not granted to him. His rule has has been one of absolute tyranny without reference to the principles of our government or the nature o' j free institutions. His course has seriously inter? fered with tho harmony and speedy execution of j the Acts of Congress, and his removal cannot be regarded to affect or defeat them. The object cf the change is to facilitate the execution through an officer who never failed to obey the statutes of tho land, and, within his jurisdiction, requires like .obedience from others. Tne President compliments Thomas and Han? cock, and feels assured that under General Sher? man's ?Tiidance, Sheridan will win honor fighting Indians. lu conclusion tho P.-esidcnt fails to per? ceive any military, pecuniary or patriotic reason why this order should not be carried into effect. An immense crowd witnessed the defeat of tho Nationals by the Mutuals of New York. Tho President was on the ground, and received with hearty cheers. The Internal Rovonno receipts to-day amount to $836,000. 'A private letter from Fort Hays, says a com? pany of cavalry at that post lost twenty-one men by cholera. From Richmond. RICHMOND, August. 26.-General Schofield bas .decided that the State Poor Laws shall bo en? forced with reference to the paupers to whom the Freedmen's Burean has ceased to give rations. By this decision all tho black vagrants who crowded to the cities of Virginia after tho war will bo re? turned to their respective counties where they oro citizens. The white paupers will be treated in the same wav. The City Council is about oponin; anew Alma House for colored people. The case of the colored Canadian who applied for redress, because the owners of tho steamship Hat? teras refused him a first cabin passage on account of his color, was decided by U. S. Commissioner Canoon this morning. He decided that the Civil Bights Bill only referred to citizens of the United States, and that foreigners could not obtain redress under it. Major De la Meter, Chief of the Medical Bureau of this District, was mustered out to-day. This is the first officer in this department mustered out under the President's system of the removal of volunteer officers. A Republican colored meeting was held in Man? chester Saturday night, which was addressed by <G. O' R. Porter, Commonwealth's Attorney at Nor? folk, who is Btumping tho State under the aus? pices o' the National Republican Committee. Ho was much applauded for the sentiment that rather than not unclog the wheels of reco istruction, he should hang the President and General Grant as high as Hainaan.

Tho New York Herald, in its issue of Saturday, delivers itself of another sensational exhortation to President JOHNSON. It says : "Will Mr. JOHN? SON finally riso to the demands of tho situation V Can he ? Ibo next few wocks will show us. Judg? ing, however, from past blunders-his apparent desire to embody in himself all political puwer ; to mergo into unity thc three branches of govern? ment, and call that unit ANDEEW JOHNSON ; to placo himself alone as tho exponent whicli gives the only value to every political equation ; to make the people, who have fought for and gained tho great battle of nationality, believe that Congress docs net reprcsont thom-he will fail to take for? tuno at the flood and redeem himself." Tho Herald then proceeds to say that Congress ba? no moro risen to tho magnitude of the prob? lem than has Mr. JOHNSON; that the first thin? the President must do is to brush away his entire Cabinet. New issues demand new men. ''Had Mr. JOHNSON, upon his accession to power, named a new Cabinet and called Congress together im? mediately, the reconstruction of tho South would long siuco have been ended; for he and the peoplo, through their Congress, would have pulled togothcr in a common purpose." This we fully boliove. It is very easy to sec this now, when wo know, from bitter experience, that a contrary course has led to disastrous ro sults. But iu what follows wo cannot agree with the Herald : '-It is not too late yet to restore har? mony between the forces of Government. Now, however, is the moment to strike. Let the Presi? dent, by virtue of the executive right given to him by our fundamental law, suspend the Cabinet, the Tenure of Office Bill to tho contrary notwithstand? ing. If he has no courage to do this, he is not equal to tho occasion." "Besides tho reconstruction of his Cabinet, Mr. JOHNSON is master of tho best method for the re? construction of tho South, and by a single stroke of his pen may, by virtuo of the power which the Constitution gives him, proclaim universal amnes? ty-amnesty for the white wbo was foolish enough to run into rebellion with the idea that he alone was created to govern tho countiy; amnesty for the poor negro, whoso intellect ?B completely un? settled by our political quarrel over him; amnesty for the North, which is heartily sick of paying the bills for theso Ethiopian theatricals; amnesty for our commerce, our agricultural interests, our pro? gress as a people; above all, amnesty for tho brains of our statesmen. Let us, therofore, have a new Cabinet and a general amnesty." This is all very fine talk. Nothing more; utter? ly impracticable). There aro soveral difficulties in tho way of tho execution of this programme. L The President is not equal to thc occasion. 2. He cannot disregard the laws of Congress without jeoparding his position and official existence. 3. A declaration of amnesty, as wo stated yesterday, would be of no avail. Unless wo aro much mistaken, ninety-nine out of every hundred ex-Confederates have already re? ceived tho benefit, either of goneral amnesty, un dor thc President's proclamation of June, 1865, or of a special pardon since granted by him. A declaration of universal amnesty, therefore, would net add ovor one per cent, to the number already enjoying tho immunity it would be capablo of con? ferring. But ann.caty and pardon from the Exe? cutive, wo have already seen, does not remove political disability, imposed by Act of Congress. However unconstitutional tho President may deom this infringement on his prorogative, ho has nevor signified his intention of sotting asid3 any of tho Acts of Congress, either in whole or in part. A revolution is necessary to effoct what tho Herald proposge. But it in our finn conviction, that tho Herald only desires to raise a sensation, and gives little hoed to the logical result to which its propositions would lead. Letter* from the Co a nt ry. WEBT POINT, GEO., August 23, 1867. Mr. Editor:-The prospects of trade from tho northern part of this State with our city, are flat? tering, and if our merchants, factors and bankers do their share in providing facilities, cotton will go to Charleston from all places on their lines of Railroad. It will not do to send out prices cur? rents and cards-but there must be actual con? tact, man witii man. The country merchant wants to sooUio city merchant and factor, aud ono such interview is worth a dozen visits from a subordinate. Rome, Cartersvillo, Mariotta, New nan, Grantville, Augusta and West Point, all will bo filled with cotton, and ire scant of goods. It is as natural for this part of Georgia to trade with Charleston, as it is with Savannah or Au? gusta. And from tho former city a vast amount of merchandise ought to be supplied to these pisces as we'4 as tommy other towns. It is amusing to see how tho intelligent merchants regard thc efforts made by New York, houses to procure buy? ers through "prices currents " and "circulars." For instance, the other day I met a resident merchant of ono of tho towns I havo mentioned, and he laughed heartily at a " circular " ho had just received from a " Cotton Houso" in Now York. This " circular" undertook to tell him and tho South, generally, "how tho negroes were work? ing," how much rain bad fallen, and how the cot? ton was affected by it, what the effect of guano was on coro and cotton, Ac, and gave quotations of prices for a week past, the writer forgetting that the telegraph wire carries to every Southern merchant who deals in cotton, tho prices at Liverpool, New York, Charleston, Savannah, Ac, of tho day before. Within twenty-four hours every one is posted of any chango iu any market in the world. Let me once moro recur to tho subject of Rail? roads for the purpose of urging on our citizens, the project of the Milleu and fiajkahatchie Rail? road. Gentlemen, one and all just spread c map of Georgia beforo you and examine it as 1 pro? ceed, a line drawn from Newnan to Griffin forms, j with tho Railroads leading to Atlanta from thoso towns, a triangle. Around that triangle up to Atlanta, all the .cotton and merchandise, fromjor . to, West Point, Lagrango, Newnan and the interme? diate points, must pas* at present. But a Railroad is now being built from Newnan to Griffin, which saves forty-seven miles and turns all this trade perhaps, toward Savannah. Now look at the map and seo how tho road from Augueu to Columbia cuts across your line of trado, and opening a short n mt o to tho great Northern iiit:es from the far South. I would not oppose tho bulidipg of that road or any other. It is not our policy so to do. There aio only two things required to build any? where a railroad. First, tho demand of tho peo? ple, an J, second, their ability to pay for it. Tho Columbia and Augusta Scad ought to be built and will be. But what should wo of Charleston do? Look onco moro at your map; glance your ??ye. from Pocotalig.o to Millen, a space of sixty miles close that by a rail-and thence your eye runs along over nearly a straight tine of railroad to tho Mississippi, and even beyond. You have almost an air lino to Macon, Columbus and Vicksburg I niufting the shortest possible route from New Or? leans to New York, and opening up a vast country to the trado of Charleston-a country aoatjpod to bo the yery garden pf tho South. Is there not energy enough in the old city to tako hold of this work ? $1,200,0<H) would build and equip tho road, which, when completed, would increase our bus> nets ono hundred per ceut. If that road was now built, I am siiro there would ba sent over it this sea? son 200,000 bales of cotton. This is no exaggera? tion. Georgia and Alabama are full of Cotton. Good judges aro placing tho crop of Georgia, alone, at f>"'0,000 bales; and in a few years thw State, under the inproved husbandry which is being introduced, and abuut which I have some? thing to say by and by, will produce & million and a half bales of cottou, and provisions enough t? feed her people beeides. Looking at the railroad routes as now completed, uud as suggested and surveyed, l am painfully convinced thar flic busi? ness salvation of Charleston depends upm the im nitidtate building of the Kalkahatchie and Millen Road. H we do not build tins road, there must be, by and by, a road built from .Millen tc Branch? ville, and then "farewell, a long farowolP to all thc commercial prosperity of our good ild, but Barely afflicted, city.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. AFFAIRS OF THE WAR OFFICE-EXODUS OF VOLUN? TEER OFFICEBS-THE BEOULABS REJOICED THERE? AT- OENERAL GRANT ENERGETIC AND BDSY-THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE-SPECULATION SLOW ON THE TOI'IC-0 RANT THE ONLY SURE MAN IF NOMINATED FREEDMEN'S BUREAU-WHO IS TO BE SECRETARY OF WAU? ETC., ETC. WASHINGTON, August 22.-Tho administration of the affairs of tho War Department, by tho General in-Chief, in his nowly created offico of Seoretary of War, aa interim, has been characterized by a very remarkable activity in one thing, nt lea t, even if no other could be noted, and that is tho summary disposal of volunteer officors, many of whom had become settled vory comfortably in their various positions; some under tho Freedmen's Burean; somo in thc Surgeon and Adj n tan t Goneral s oflico, and others in other spheres of military existence. As a gonoral thing, tho "Regulars," those of the old army, are rather glad to seo this, as for some reason or other tho esprit du corps, among tho West Pointers, keeps them aloof in their foelings and social dealings with tho "hardy volunteers." General GRANT, however, is working on the score of economy, and intends to keep on reducing tho expenses of the War Depart? ment ; and with it, of course, the expenses of the Government, in a style which olicits praises from manv, and solid denunciations coupled with dole? ful misgivings as to his political complexion from almost as many more. His deeds are not hid under a bushel, for every morning brings out new orders of special importance, which indicato tho manner of work-that of clearing out tho vol? unteer army-in which ho is engaged, and tho en? ergetic General, with his constant segar, may bo Beon froquontly during the day en route to his headquarters, the War Department, or to the Whito House, busily intont upon the performance of his duties, whether it consists either in fram? ing orders or in obeying thom, and then at three o'clock he goes home and takes, first his dinner, and then his drive, and no ono who, not knowing the Genera], who would see him on the Fourteenth street road behind a fast horse, and sometimes bohiud two, always holding tho reins himself, would imagine that ho was tho man so very much talked about and who dooa so little talking. I hear of very little talk now on thc Presidential topic. Tho numerous martyrs in the field, com? bined with the multitudo who have claims in that direction, and who press them, has, for tho nonce, put an end to that kind of speculation, and conse? quently an atmosphere of silence prevails. Thora is also a well-defined anxiety among tho leading politicians of tho extreme radical school to know more of tho spirit which shall rule tho fall elec? tions befor? proceeding to compromise themselves in favor of any particular candidate. It is every? where conceded that thero must bo a military man on tho ticket, but whether the shoulder straps aro to go into tho Whito House or preside over tho United States Senate is anothor question not yet agreed upon. Not p. fow of the Republican poli? ticians (particularly the New England members, of the party; want Gonoral HOWARD, of the Freed? men's Bureau, on tho ticket as tho candidate for Vicc-Prosident, and would not object to it in com? pany with Chief Justice CHASE, who is from Ohio. SHERIDAN'S backers aro still strong, but STANTON, I since his removal, has materially lessoned tho prospocts of that officer, although tho late War Minister is known to have emphatically asserted that he would, upon no condition, be a candidate However, there is ample timo to discuss this, as thc. wire-pullers themselves aie now entirely at sea aud at tho mercy of the wa voa. Of .tho wholo affair, thero seems but ono thing that is absolutely certain-Gon. GRANT can be President if ho wants to, and tho only singular thins; in connoclion with this ia. that somo of his friends, who only a short time ago wcro proud to hoist his name upon their standards with loud expressions of applause, in di-cussing tho matter now cannot seo how a sol? dier with a life long career of greatness before him could be provailcd upon to relinquish it for the precarious four years' position of Proeident. Well, nobody knows to a certainty ; but possibly that is what GRANT thinks himself,-and possibly not. It has boon a question of no Little interest to know who would succeed Major General HOWARD as Commissioner ol' the Bureau of Freedmen's Affairs. Several officers of prominence. in tho service liavo beon mentioned, among them Gen. SICKLES, who it was said yesterday would bo trans? ferred to duty in charge of tho Frocdmon's Bureau new in chargo of General HOWARD, whilo tho latter would bu assigned to duty in the place thus mado vacant. To-day, however, new rumors in that connection are on the tapis, and two or thrco others havo been brought forward. General HOWARD'S friends think that although ho may bo divested of his volunteer rank of Major-Gcnoral, which loaves him a Brigadier Goneral in tho regular army, novertheloss ho will remain in charge of the Bureau. Certainly for tho purposes for which that departmont was institut? ed, General HOWARD is a very proper man. There have beon somo speculations as to the length of timo Genoral GRANT will remain in chargo of the War Department, and successors to thc ad? ministration of its affairs aro almost daily brought before tho public. I know, from very positive authority, that so far no thought bas entered the mind of the President as to whoo ho (Gen. GRANT) will be relieved of its cares, and a now incumbont appointed. The matter is one of tho greatest un? certainty-it might bo in the course of a woek, and possibly not until the meeting of Cjngross. In tho meantime tho Genoral-in-'Jhief, by a syste? matic devotion of time to tho requisite duties of the position nt tho head of that Departmont, is earning for himself praisos for executive and ad mintrativo abditios, and the President is very well satintiod to have him there. HAL. Making Glass Eyes. {From the American Artisan.] It is asserted that thero aro in this city at least seven thousand peoplo who wear false eyes. Thero aro two or three places there where falso oyes aro mado and inserted. One house informs tho public thai "persons dopiivod of an oyo can liavo this de? formity remedied by tho inset tion of an artificial one, which moves and looks like tho natural organ. Nopain when inserted. Patients at a distance having a brokon oyo, can have anothor ono mado without calling personally." Tho manufacture of those oyes is done cntiroly by hand. A man nits down behind a jot of gas llamo, which is pointed and djroeted as ho wishes by a blow-pipe. Tho pupil of tho evo is made with a drop of black gii?T>? imbedded in tito contro ol the iris. Tho blood vessels Beon in tho whito of tho eye aro easily put in with red glass while tho optic is glow iuy with heat' like a ball ot gold. Thc wholo eye can ho made inside of un hour, and is a! oner, ready tu put in. Tho reader should know that it is simply a thin glass shell, whian io intended to cover tho stump of tho blind ovo. After being dipped in water this shell is slipped in place, being held by tho eyelids. The secret of imparting motion to it depends upon work? ing thc glass oyo so that it shall fit tho stump- -if it is too largo, it, will not inovo ; if it tits nicely, it moves iii eve*) particular liko tho natural oyo, and it is quito impossible, in mauy cases, to tell ono from tho other. Tho operation Iv not in tho least painful, and those who Imo worn ili?iu a number of years foci better with them in than when tiffy arc out. A glass oyo should bo taken out every hight, ant] put in in thc morning. In three or lour years the faleC oyo be? comes BO worn that a new imo has to bo obtained.

I BARBECUE AND MASS MEETING S FREEDMEN IN RICHLAND DISTRICT ?j _ I CONSERVATIVE SPEECHES BT GEN. 8C0TT, CHAPL FRENCH AND OTHERS. Tho planters in tho vicinity of Gadsden i Kingsvillo have long been anxious to have freedmen in their employ properly instructed their social and political dutioa. Thia subject 1 beon discussed by thom at their several mcctiii and it was finally determined to give a barbee and invite ceitain prominent gentlemen to addtf tho froodmon on tho topics of tho day, and, b candid statement of facts, to disabuse th minds of tho villainous doctrines inculcal by tho Radical omissories who were prowli through our land. Having once dot mined upon this action, preparations w< mado to entertain tho freedmen, who w? cordially requested to bc present anti listen to t addresses. Iii order to give publicity to tho alla printed invitations wero sont to all parties w wero supposed to be interested in the movenici and no distinction ?vas made on account of colt To Mr. H. L. JEFFERS, of tho Committoo of ] vitations, and Mr. W. W. WHITE, ol tho Comm too of Arrangements, groat praise is due for t effective manner iu which tho plans were carri out. At tho confluence of tho Congareo and Water rivers a narrow neck of land is formod that known as tho Fork. This is settled by plante who wero formerly largo slave owners, and wi havo si nco tho war gono boldly to work on tho ni system, trusting that timo would nhow lo thc employees that although thoy wero no longer thc property yet thoy wero connected by tics whit Bhonld bo fostered. Knowing that thc harangu of tho radical fanatics were having an injurioi offoct on their hearers, tho plantors in tho Fork, i wo havo already stated, determined on last Satu day to present to tho freedmen tho opposite sic of tho question, and leavo them to judgo lor then selves. A lovel plat in front of tho Fork Churc was selected, and tho Btind for the speakers erec ed under tho shado of some wide-spreading tree Ample space was loft for tho accommodation of tl: audience, and iu tho distance wero placed tl tables and paraphernalia for thc preparation of tl: barbecue. Those woro surrounded by rope stretched from poles drivon in the ground, wilie kept tho eager crowd at bay and prevented an depredation. Long beforo tho hour appointed tho woods i tho vicinity of tho church resounded with th neighing of Bteods and the hum of voices, an busy hands wero soon engaged in arranging th platform and tables. A United States flag lin been brought, and, under tho direction of Mi JEFFERS, was unfurled and suspended over th stage between the boughs of the trees. Honcho and chairs were placod on the platform, and th invited guests assigned positions. A band c music was also in attendance, and during (he prep arations enhvonod tho assembly by their tunos Among tho guests present woro Gon. SCOTT, AS sistant Commissioner of the Freedman's Barata Chaplain M. FRENCH, Mr. REUDEN TOSILINSON C. M. Wilder, (colored), Deputy United Stato: Marshal at Columbia, besides a numbe: of tho plant crs in tho vicinity, citizens of Columbia, and a fer stn? ngers. On mo ?ion of Mr. W. W. WHITE, Mr. Jon.' ADAMS waa callod to tho chair, and tho moctini opened with pravcr by tho Rev. W W. ADAMS After a short interval, during which thc bant playod a few tuncB, General 8coTr vas called 01 to address tho froedmon, and occnfiiod their at? tention for noarly an hour. His remarks wert directed chiefly to tho freedmen, bul wero intondet for both whites and blacks, and vere upon sub? jects of gcnoral interest. Ho stalod that it wat his duty, and that of other military officials, tc dabblo as little in politics as possible, therefore he would malic no sot speech, but would talk on thoso points which are interesting tho paopln ol this country at the present time. In referring to tho flag that was now waving over him, he said that he was glad to moot them indcr its foldH, and though it was the first time ii bad boon un? furled since 1858 in that locility, ho was proud to know it was dono -oluntarily. A.s a soldier he was proud of his flag, hit particularly when ho remembered that it was an emblem to the world of a freo people, and that under tho stars and stripes all men wero placed on an oqual footing. Ho pioccodod to show the blighting effect of slavery, and urgod upon the freedmen tho necessity of educatbn, if thoy wish? ed to CBcapo the moral bondago that ignorance entails upon every on?. On the mbject of lands, he said that it was but natural for the colored man to desire a homestead, and they mould uso ovoiy legal means in their power to obtiiti one. Many thought that it was unjust for . tow persons to monopolio tho lands; but they vero tho rightful property of thoso mun, andwoud nover bc ob? tained by tho freedmen through confiscation. By adopting a system of equal taxaion, tho prico of lands now uncultivated might be put no low tbat an honest, industrious man couldiccumnlato suffi? cient money to purchase a homes.ead. This plan of taxation would bo a boaoflt to ill parlies, as it would tend to improve lands that iro now compar? atively uaoloss, and thus add to tho riches and welfare of tho Stato. His speocl was admirably adapted to his hearers, and was loplcto with good and wholesomo advico. Ho was followed by tho Rev, lr. FRENCH, and as thia gentleman was known in thc commu? nity only by his reputation, conadorablc anxiety was Mt regarding his sentiment). His invita? tion was thought by many an unwise movement, as ho w.iH gouetally considered a mischief niakor, and ono who would stir up a spin of antagonism botwocn tho racos, but this impression was dissi? pated at tho opening of his speech. From hie long connection with the Bureau as Chaplain, ho is thoroughly acquainted with tio nogro cliarac tor, and his remark? wore at once indera tood. Ho spoko principally in a colloquial stain, appealing to the negroos to answer his qucsions by a show of bauds, and by interesting thom n II?M discourse probably did far more good than .thor speakers, He referred to tho emancipatioi from slavery, and showed that it carno not from man, but God; drew a picture of slavery and its cons?quences as opposed to freedom. His ?leech was omi nontly conservativo, and corhined nothing that could offend; but some few of his idoas were oyifjentlv not thoso of his white bearers- For ih stanco, in referring to the march of SHI?UMAN to tho ?ea, ho said tbat tho United States Govern? ment were convinced that they mold be victori? ous, and tho torch was applied, net with a desire to lmrrasB and annoy tho people, tot in a spirit of loving kindii??i?, hoping ju this. we; tp living them into tho fold. Tho result was all bat tho Govern? ment could have expected; but .ho motives at? tributed to it by tho Reverend routh) tn an were taken cum grano salis. C. M. Wilder, tho United Stabs Deputy Mar? shal from Columbia, followod Air FRENCH. His speech was of a similar oharacitei- urging the col? ored potpie to obey tho laws and rori their way to a competency. Captain ROBERT ADAMS and Jr. REUBEN Toil? LINSON wore tho two last speakers. Thc first is a planter in tho neighborhood, arl tho second tho Suporintcneleqt o? Education of rcodmen in this Stato. Their speeches were cweorvativc, and wero well received. Among tho persons on tho pkt form, were Mr ROBERTSON, of Columbia ; Rev. Rudolph, a color? ed missionary, and - ARMSTIUHO, Hie Columbia martyr. Tho lcttpr waa prepanl to speak, but the latonera of tho hour, and tho loairo of Gcnoral SCOTT and others to tako the Camion tram, caused an adjournment from tho reston to tho table, and tlic meeting was dismissed ty a prayer from Chaplain FRENCH, Tho tables were arranged in a hollow square, and were supplied at intervals wth slices of bread and barbecue meat. As the crovd was too large to be accommodated at one timothey were served by relays, and several sepiais roeei vee! their rations in this way until tho nunber ol thei.se not vet supplied bael greatly dihinishod. At Lhii juncture, Mr. W. \V. WHITE, tl e Chairman of tho Committee, mounted the table aid made tho must effective (pooch of tho day. After expatiating on the quality and quantity olshe provisions fur-; nished, anti tlni disposition malo of wem, ho gave tho command to cut the ropa, enter thc arena, and then each man for himself and God for you all. This command was uteraly obeyed, tor tho crowd rushed i i with such a vim that the tables went before thom and tho food was thrown some distanoe in tho dirt. With thi? exception, the day passed quietly, and the large iudier.ee disp . rsc cl to their homes without any demonstrations. The meeting was, in every respect,i success, and tho conservative doctrines that w sc advanced hythe speakers gave general satisfaction. It is lo be hoped that this is but ono of nuny similar gather? ings that will result in cirivinr tho radical emis? saries from tho State. ?i?j - Thc Kclatlves, Friends and Acquaint? ances of Mr. and Mrs. HENRY BAHNTGE, of his brother, P. ?V.

"Dust 'thou art and to dust shalt thou return" is the Divine announcement to thu human family, which, soon? er or later, must meet us all. This heavenly declaration was again verified by the yawning gulf of Death having claimed as his victim an affectionate father, a model hus? band, and a bright luminary of Israel's faith. Mr. JOSLVH BLANK is no moro, his earthly career having terminated in this city on tho 3d of July, 1867. Conscious that mortality could no longer hold immor? tality, he resigned bimsolf to tho will of his Creator, at whoso call he shook off las tenement of clay, to bo borne to eternal rest. Satisfied of hiving fulfilled the holy mis? sion of his sacred faith, and placing implicit confidence in tho mer..;- ot Israel's God, ho parted in full expecta? tion of that glorious reward promised to the good and true, bearing in mind thc words ot tho wise kings: "Man gonth to bis long home, and the mourners go about the streets." Wo offer our sincere and hean felt condolence to tho bereaved widow and nilli to, 1 family, the mourners of his untimely cm), praying the Father of widows and orphans to take them under his omnipotent caro and gracious protection. Mr. BLASK was a native of Gallicia, Austrian Poland, aged 47 years. May his memory be perpetuated among Ids co-roliglonirtts. and his immortal soul having soared to tho 'Hoing from whence it sprung, there rcccivo its heavenly portion allotted to tho faithful in Ufe. * AN AFFLICTED FRIEND.
