PREPARATIONS. VIENNA, October 27.-The ministerial bill fix? ing the basis as to numbers and equipment for the army and navy when on a .war footing, after much opposition, has been passed by the Reichsrath. It is said Baron von Buest gavo the members of the Reichsrath a secret reason for the passage of the bill, which caused it to ' be carried through, and this rumor creates some uneasiness. Zt is asserted that in a speech in secret session, urging the adoption of the measure, the prime minister alluded to the good relations which existed between Aus? tria and the other great powers, but intimated that, in the ovent of a iupture between Prussia and France, Austria must be ready to guard her own neutrality. .

At Tulca hera na the heat of the water was so great that the fish were cooked. Thc Boston Marginal Freight Railroad. The Boston Traveller of the 23d instant .says: This railroad, if n>> unforeseen accident oc? curs, will be formally oponed for regular traffic to-morrow. This enterprise received tho sanc? tion of the Legislature during the session of 1867, when a charter was granted to Thomas Russell, Edward Crane and Harvey Scudder. At that time strenuous opposition was made to it, not only by the respective railroad corpora? tions, but by owners of wharf property all along its contemplated line, and more recently by Mr. Josiah Quincy and Lis associates, who are contemplating; the building of a new street to pass at "the rear of and through tho princi? pal wharves. The Marginal Freight Railway Company is essentially what is known in Southern and Western cities as a "transfer company." Its primary objects are to bring all our western and interior traffic directly to tide water, to load ships from the cars, to re? live the different railroads so that their cars can be unloaded and returned with dispatch, to do away tn a good measure with the heavily loaded teams that block up our principal thoroughfares, and by the low price of its tolls bring to Boston not only a large export, bet a large import trade. Its economical ad vantages are manifest. They are-first, a saving in tho cost of handling ; "second, a saving in mer? chandise handled; and third, the directness and dispatch with which ali merchandise can be delivered to merchants located on all the principal business streets. It has long been a question why our leading tra uk roads do so little business in proportion to the means they have for doing it. The Marginal Freight Railroad, as the biais of a new system, now prop; 60s to answer this question in a practical manner. The wharf property of Boston has experienc? ed immense disadvantage within the past len years because of the great cost and uncertain? ty of delivery of goods destined for the in? terior, to the different railroads; and the rail? roads have Buffered none the less. The Marginal Freight Railroad is prepared in every particular to overcome these difficulties. Constitution wharf, by means of the track of tho Marginal Freight Railroad, virtually be? comes the terminus of ad the Northern and Western railroads. This not ouly means tide water, but deep water. li the question whether Boston shall have ocean steamers is ever satis? factorily settled, it must be settled at this point. It is not material whether railroads loan their money to such an enterprise, but it is of the greatest importance to know whether. Boston can be made a depot for the storage . and delivery of the great products of the West. Establish this fact, and there w?l be no lack of steamers and sailing ships coming to this portj^be opinion ot Mr. Cunard to the con? trary notwithstanding. The Margmal Freight Railroad, therefore, opens up a new era in tho commercial history of Boston, and it is gratifying to know that in each successive development it is olaiming the attention and commanding the Bupport of our active business men. The magnitude of the enterprise is not yet fully apparent; tae great advantages whioh will accrue from its com {lotion are, however, in a measure anticipated y those who have seen ita workings from the beginning. * G Omit SOR SCOTT TO THE PEOPLE. To the Citizens of South Carolina: FELLOW-CITIZE??P-The numerous complaint i made to this Department ot murders and out? races, committed by wicked and inconsiderate persons, excited by intense party feeling, made it my duty to isiuo tho late proclama? tion, calling upon.all good and true men, with? out respect to political predilections, to unite in a determination to discountenance and de? nounce lawlessness and violence, and in an effet to recover and maintain the good name that has heretoloro bean the heritage and tho pride of our beloved State. It is now my pleasing duty to congratulate you upon the beneficial results that have ensued from tha admirable aud well-timed addre?s of General Hampton and th J Executive Committee to the Democratic party-. lu honest and impressive terms they have called ou the people to sup? port the laws, to preserve tbc peace, and to denounce those crimes which liavo eo recently bceu committed in some portions of our State. These patriotic^couusels cannot fail of having a wide and wholesome influence in moderating tho vehemence of feeling of thoso to whom they are authoritatively addressed, while they have quieted the apprehensions and conciliat? ed tho respect and good will ol thoir political opponents. This is certainly a just cause of congratulation to every well-wisher of the State, and it gives mc unfeigned pleasure to acknowl? edge it, and to earnestly invoke thc co-opera? tion of every mo?uber of the Republican parly in reciprocating, to tho fullest extent, the pa? cific policy so admirably inculcated by the Democratic leaders. Let acrimonious and ir? ritating discussions be avoided, aud appeals be made to the intelligence and reason, and not to the fears or passions ot the community. Dif? f?ras we may in political sentiments, it is the diotate alike of wisdom and patriotism for all to appeal to, and confide in, the efficacy of peaceful remedies for political evils, actual or supposed. Let "'bear and forbear"' bo our max? im, and so shall the peace, prosperity and hon? or of our beloved State be maintained and per? petuated, and her time-honored escutcheon will be preserved, unsullied and untiimmed, in all its original purity and lustre. ROBERT K. SCOTT, Governor. PROM COLUMBIA. Quiet Restored-Interviewa between Governor Scott and General Hampton and Colonel Thomas-Murder of the Woman Boddlford-A Showman Pla j s Du m m if to his Sorrow-Scott's Ad? dress. [FBOK OUB OWN C0EUESP05DENT. ] COLUMBIA, Oct. 28.-Since my last that state of excitement, which was fast becoming almost the normal condition of this community, has subsided. On Friday last General Hampton had a long interview with Governor Scott, and on Saturday Colonel Thomas was closeted with the Governor for some time. Tho conferences were amicable, and th6 result was that they all agreed to endeavor to repress tho spirit of vio lenco which seemed to prevail in tho up-ccun try. . Tbiee eets'of commissioners of elections have been appointed for Edg ofield, and have all except one declined to set ve, some of them giving as their reason for so doing, fear of per? sonal violence. Ono writes that hehasmoic impoitaut business to attend to, viz: tho pre? servation of his life, as he had been hiding for two days in the swamp. On the 27th September last, Elsio Bodd.ford a loose woman, was returning from church near Darlington Courthouse, in company with one Windman, when they were met by four men, who asked her name. Ou hearing it, they drew pistols, fired, and killed her instant? ly. The Coroner's inquest developed evidence implicating one George Galloway. It is said that Galloway keeps sentinels posted around his house, and declares that he will shoot auy one who may attempt to arrest him. Boddl? ford was tho mistress of Galloway's father, and young G. had sworn to kill her on sight. The Executive Committee of this State have received information from somo of the malcon? tents in Now York that they desire that Packer, of Pennsylvania, bo substituted as tho Democratic candidate for vice-President instead of General Blair. Our Executive Com? mittee of courso disapprove of this proposi? tion. The committee have also beon informed by an active Democrat ot New York that the action of the South relative to qualified suf? frage has croated a great stir in Wall-streot, and that much good has thereby been done in tho Democratic cause. I have heard of no fur thor movoments against Jim Minor. Robinson's Circus yester? day and last night performed to delighted au? diences in this place. Such a gathering has nat been known in thia eily for many a day. One of tho showmen undertook a piece of sharp practice, hoping to oscapo thc disagreea? ble duty cf pa j Lng his hotol bill. On being ap? proached by tho proprietor he pretended to be deaf and dumb, shaking his head and giving forth discordant guttural sounds. Thereupon the proprietor knocked bim down, knocking out two teeth. Tho showman immediately re? gained the uso of his tongue and ears, paid the bill and went on his way-not rejoicing. Jndge H?ge is in Columbia. Last night Hubbard went to Winnsboro' to look after the murderers of Lee Nance. He arrested Doo Mil? ler in Winnsboro', a brother-in-law of ono of the murderers. Miller admitted that the murderers had been at his house two or three days. Hubbard reports that the feeling of the respectable citizens of Fairfield is not in sym? pathy with the murderers. It is doubtful wheth? er Miller will be bailed. Governor Scott has received several Jotters slating that the ad? dress of the Executive Committee of South Carolina, published in tho Phoenix of the 23d October, has had a very beneficial effect in al? laying the excitement amoDg tho people. The address of Governor scott, to b 3 pubh'ahed to? morrow, was induced by the reports received by bim through Hubbard of the placablo feel? ing in Fairfiold, aud of the letters above re? ferred to. HAL. ITEMS OP STATE SEWS. The Newberry Herald, of Wednesday, says : "Sinco our last issue we have had killing frosts. For two or three mornings it bas been severo enough to kill tender vegetation and young cotton bolls. It is hoped now that much of the sickness prevailing of late will be eradi? cated. -The Darlington Democrat mentions the fact that tho woman, Elsie Bodliford, lor the arrest of whose murdorer Gov. Scott has offc-rod a reward, is white, and not colored, ay stated in the Governor's proclamation. -At a Convention hcld*t Chester on the 23d instant, for the Counties of York, Union, Lancaster and Chester, in which those coun? ties were represented by delegates, William H. Brawley, Esq., of Chester, was unanimously nominate! for Solicitor of the Sixth Circuit. -Tuesday, the 20th instant, was a gala day in Darlington. The Democracy of the district turned out en incuse, and eloquent speeches were made by General Wade Hampton, Gene? ral Kennedy, and Colonel W. 8. Mullins. POLITICAL MISCELLANY.

GENERAL GEANT ON NEGRO SOFFRAGE. lu his speech in Now York city tho other night, Judge Pierrepont (Radical, though ho was a Democrat at the timo he held the con? versation with Giant) said : One day at his house in Washington, while he was Secretary of War, I told him that I thought be would make a good Democratic candidate if he was right on the question of negro suffrage. Ho replied that he had no wi6h for tho Presidency: that ho had now a much higher office than he had ever expected; that General Sherman would make a go id President, and that he would gladly give tho halt that he wat- worth to make Sherman or any other tit man President; that his feel? ings and sentiments were entirely opposed to ao'-TO suffrage; but that ho did net wish to be restrained by any pledges from the right to change his " opinion io future if new exi? gencies convinced him that he was wrong; for, said ho, you will remember that early in the war. when I was in command of thc Weat, I publicly stated that if the negroes had an in? surrection I would hold my army in check until it was put down. But long boforo tho war was over 1 should havo be:n glad of a negro insur? rection, and would havo moved my army all tho faster. What I want is tho Union-the whole country returned to poaco and submis? sive to tho laws. I do not like universal negro suffrage now, but the freedmen ought to be protected, and if the only way to protect thom m their helpless condition is to give them tho suffrage, then I shall be in favor of letting thom vote. I want tho Union restorotl, an I to have the South CJIHC back, obey the laws, and Bubu.;t as good citizens; and if tho future proves that they will not do it without negro suffrage, thc u I would give them negro suf? frage." r Applause.

Let no gun bo fired, no man be hurt. Tho Re? publicans must dosist and go homo quietly; the Democrats must do tho same.

THE MILITARI" AND THE JUDICIARY LV TEXAS ORDER OF GENERAL REYNOLDS IN A CIVIL SUIT-APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT. The Washington corespondent ot tho Bal? timore Suu, writes under dato of October 27 : The President to-day reeoived from Rich? mond, Texas, tho following dispatch: To the President-The following order was received here by telegraph: To Judge McFar? land, Richmond, Texas-For reasons made known by tho Governor and State's Attorney, you will continue untd next term the cases in? volving tho question of hoirship to tho estate of J. C. Clark deceased. J. J. REYNOLDS, Brovet Major-Gemeral. "Wo regard thia order as a gie.;t military usurpation It is addressed to a Judge of a Civil Court, directing bim bow he shall decide the question of continuance. Both p ir'ie ? are present and represented by cnunso.-t::o c.isu ready for trial. Slia'l the com:i?auder ol' tho district control tho ju Vc arv? Wo ask you to revoke the ordei. Answer. K. C. TRIGG, JOHN r. HARCOURT. Plaintiffs Counsel." Tha President, under tho Reconstruction laws, has no authority over thc military com? manders so far aa their control over tho States under military role is concerned. Of course he cannot revoke tho order of General Rey? nolds, as requested by the attorneys signing the foregoing dispatch. This order of Rey? nolds is of a piece with his recent edict forbid? ding an election in Texas for President and vice-President. He has evidently a full ap? preciation of the unlimited power vested iu him as district commander by thc Radical laws._ THE QUESTION OP RITUALISM. Protestant Episcopal General Triennial Convention, This body held its Eoventoenth day's ses? sion in New York on Monday. The Commit? tee on Ritualism submitted majority and mi? nority reports. The majority report concludes with the following reBohtion : Resolved, (the House of Bishops concurring, ) That with devout acknowledgment of. that gracious presenco and assistance ot ber Di? vine Master, which hos been so signally vouch? safed for this church ac many a crisis more perilous than tho present, enabling her in thc midst of aggressions from without and innu? merable shortcomings aud extravagances from within, to maintain tho integrity of her doc? trino, and tho beauty, deceucy and dignity of her wanbi;.*--this Convention attributes ?his happy result in a great meas uro, under God, to that spirit of moderation which has rendered her averso to all restrictions of tho liberty of her children in things indifferent or unes? sential, 60 long as unity cm bo maintained aud spiritual edification provided in any other way. It is tho sen so of this Con? vention, 'therefore, that tho enactment of any canon ou the subject of ritual would bo unwise and inexpedient at tho present time. But it is none tho less tho souse of this Con? vention that the continu- d maintenance of the decency and order, as well as th J peace and harmony which, by God's blessing, have al? ways characterized this church, the avoidances ot tho dangers of irre>eienco and lawlessness on the one hand, and of extrivaganco and su? perstition on tho other; the preservation of docirine from the peril of intentional or unin? tentional chango, and a due regard to the scrip? tural' canon of walking wisely toward them which are without, require from all ministers of this church, celebra, ing divino service in churches or otlior established place.- cf wor? ship, a conscientious, and, so for as may bc, steadfast adherence to such vestments, cere? monies, practices and ornaments as by reason of long-continued uso, or by authority belong? ing to thisxhurch, avoiding error either by ex? cess or by defect; and further, that in all mat? ters doubtful, for the avoidance (if unseeniing disputes and contradictory practices, which tend neither to the good name or to godliness, references should be made to the ordinary, and no changes should be made against the goBly counsel and judgment of Ibo Bishop. Ihe resolutions attached to the minority re? port aro as follows : Resolved, As tho sense of this Convention (the House of Bishops concurring), that the maintenance of our wonted uniformity an 1 simplicity in worship is exceedingly desirable to secure this church from the Insidious intro? duction of unsound doctrine, from the disturb? ance of thc peace and comfort ot its worship? pers, au 1 from exposure to evil report among them who'are without. Resolved, That while thero is no absolute di? rectory in the canons or rubrics of the church specifying all official vestments end practices, and all ecclesiastical ornaments which may be fitly used therein, yet there is tho indication of great simplicity; and the traditional usage of tho church in this behalf, from tho dato ot its organization here to tho pre .ent period, is in conformity therewith, and has in the hearts and minds of the great body of its loyal mom hers tho force of law. Reso'ccd, That this Convention affectionate? ly urges upon all who have to do with tho or? dering of tho appointments of public worship, that tiiey abido by tho traditions and ceremo? nies of thia American Church; that none other than tho '"clerical habit" known to our fathers, and referred to by thc House of lishops at tho general convention of 1814, as appropriate to ministers officiating in tie congr?gation, bandi, gowns and surplices, with thoir custom? ary appendages, cassocks and black sto es, bo provided, and that no straugo ornaments of the sacred places conducive to vain show or superstition be introduced. Resolved, That in tho judgment of this Con? vention, the Houso of Bishops concurring, tho business of lights in tho order for the Holy Communiou, tho burning of incense, rever? ences to thc holy table or the elements there? on, tbe elevation of thc elements, making tho sign of the cross (except when proscribed in tho rubric), in and dunne Diviuo service, or the celebration of tho Lord's Supper, are inno? vations ou our mode of conducting public wor? ship, offend against the common order of the church, and wound the consciences of many of its true and loving members. Resolved, That this Convention earnestly ex? presses its disapproval of tho omission of any of tho-e proprieties of apparel and demeanor when ministuring in the congregation, which either rule or gcueral usage has made distinc? tive of our worship, and commends all who, being in holy orders, would deviate on the right hand or on the left from the common order ot tho church's worship to seek first the coun? sel ot their bishops and submit themselves to their go-ly judgments. Tho two reports wero to have como up far consideration yesterday. STANGE STOUT OP CAPnviTr-A CABOLJNA GlBX A ?HONG THE INDIANS FOB MANY. YEARS. Tbs Colorado Tribune has the following strange story: We saw at tho Planter's HOUBO yesterday a woman named Lizzio Blackburn, a native of Mount Jaekson, South Carolina, who claims to have boon a prisoner among different tribes of Indians about four years. She is now tweuty oight years old aud is a cripple from the loss of both of her Umba, which have been amputa? ted twice, tho first time at the ankle joints, and again about three inches below thc knee. Her story of hor capture and imprisonment is about as" follows, commencing with how she came to be in the Indian country: When she was five years old hor father, Thomas Black? burn, emigrated from South Carolina, and joined the Mormon* at Nauvoo, Illinois. Ho accompanied them to Floronco, Nebraska, and finally emigrated to Utah, with thc earliest . omigiatils, aud picached muon? them. Iul8G3 or 1801, tho father having becoming somewhat dissipated, and having tor some time bceu ac? customed to living among the M rraon Indians, Lizzio and hor mjther and two j ouugor sisters, aged respectively len and fourteen years, con? cluded to run away from him and the Mormons, and it' possible reach California. They took with thom only what they could packaboul their parsons, and with a nil; aud some am? munition started westward from Salt Lake, wandorcd for niue months, when thoy were captured by tho Digger Indians. Lizzio was sold by tho Diggers to tho Foxes. Tho mother and two remaining i istcrs whon they learned cf Lizzie's sale ran away Irom the Diggers and were pursued. When found they had starved and frozen to death, and were buried on Horse Crook. The Foxes sold Liz? zie to tho Snakes. Then she loamed of tho death of her mother and sisters and saw them buried. She ran away from the ?nakca, but was captured. She waa badly frozen in the at? tempt, and was afterwards again irozon. She says that two half breeds, named Tuwantinus and Puchauatagh, took her to Washington, D. C., where her limbs were amputated, aud that she was afterwards returned to the Snakes by Ina direction, he being among thom as a kind ol chief at the timo. She says that her father has spent moat of his time among the In? diana for the last seven or cigh. year-, and ia ono of thom now. Ho is with the Arapahooa or Cheyennes, Ibo S ?akca tr.ido.1 her to tho Arapahoes, from whom she escaped about one year ago, by tho aaaiatauce of Fred.

Tho bala receiv? ed here were furnished to the various banks by the City Marshal, and till last Friday the af? fair was forgotten. On thal day a gentleman, a stronger, offered u S1000 bill at tho City Na? tional Bank for smaller bills, and thc teller dis? covered it to be ono of tho stolen ones. The man was arrested, and was found to have three $1000 billa in his possession, two of which were irom the stolen package. He gave his name, Mr. L. R.

Hernarji able Development of Oems by Volcanic Action. Tho St. Louis Times ha3 a marvellous story, which purports to como in a letter from the captain of a vessel trading between San Fran? cisco and Valparaiso, and which describes what ho witnessed in tho Pacifi: Ocean, but in what latitude he keeps a secret to himself. Tho substance of the letter is as follows : When nearly half way on the voyage, and at the time tho earthquake took place, a fearful phenomenon presented itself. The ocean be? came convulsed to its mightiest depths, and a terrible wave was swept along so high that, as tho captain humorously said, be thought it would havo landed him in tho city of Quito. The seamen wcro terribly frightened, but tho vessol was to rights again in less than ten minutes. Tho affair was a mero joke among the men, for they fancied it was one of tho high tidal waves which aro common in tho Pacific. They continued their voyage, but toward midnight were aJarmed by an extraordinary light, which appear jd in the heavens, and was first noticed on tho larboard side, and which tho ignorant and superstitious attributed to supernatural causes. The captain, who seems to bo an in? telligent and courageous man, steered his ves ficl right in tho direction of tho light, and inst before sunrise a sight of magnificence-such as no human oyo has over rested on-mot his gu?. It was no less than a group of islands formed of hugo masses of solid diamond of every color, and, in some places, of tho purest brilliancy. Tho Bailors fell into o stacica, and ono man, a half-breed from the Sandwich Islands, lost his Bouses so far that ho would havo thrown himself ovo board if he had not been tied down. Thoy sailed among tho group the en tiro day, and found it to consist, on a rough calculation, at from twelve to twenty in num? ber; but the exact number, or their relativ* size, there was no timo to ascertain. They con? sist of large, white flint rocks of crystalized shape (some places noarly transparent) which rise to a hoight of about one hundred and fifty fjet from tho water. Thick layers o.' various metals aro imbedded into thom, and the dia? monds form thick layers besido these latter. This is tho general formation; but some of the smaller islands are composed noarly alto? gether of diamond, in which the emerald pre? vails. There are agate, opaque topaz, ruby, and, i deed, diamonds of every hue; but ono island, which he describas as boing almost seventy milos long by fifteen wido, consistB of an entirely pure emorald without any admix? turo of foreign substanco. It waa difficult to effect a landing on any of tho group. At length some of tho men succeeded; but tho ca.nain himself, satisfio.l with what he had soon, did not leave the vessel. The men doscribe thc interior of the island on which they landed as consisting almost en? tirely of mud, which is gradually coagulating under the heat of tho sun. A curious thing was, that tho brilliants were eoen in tho muddy quarters of tho island, lying about like huge boulders-tho smallest ones they saw being about two hundred tons in weight; but there were numbers of others considerably larger. Of course, there was no water or vegetation to bo Been. Tho most curious effect the sight bcd on tho men, both those on the vessel as well as those who visited the island, was that tho extraordinary brilliancy sickened their stom? achs, and vomiting, followed by a copious dis? charge from tho bowels, was the consequence. All efforts to detach portions of tho diamond rock proved abortivo, and it was out of ques t on to attempt removing any of the great bril? liant boulders. They made an attempt to de? tach portions of rock by means of a crowbar and sledge, but it was so hard all efforts wore Malata, and though they had powder enough on board, they had no implements with which to drill tho holes fir blasting. The captain would h ivo proceeded on his voago to Val? paraiso; but tho mon mutinied and obliged him to i ut back to Panama. He afterward, with tho consent of tho cte W, ran the vessel on chore on thc northam coast of Columbia, aud, telegraphing to tho owners that she was lost, carno on as far as Aspinwall, from which city ho wrote to his brother in St. Louis. Ho desired bis brother to come along at onco, and bring with him tho fiuost and best tempered implements tor blasting purposes, and if possi? ble, a quantity cf nitro-glyeorino. Tho brother departed for ?Now York immediately, but before going ho communicated tho secret lo a confi? dential comrade, through whom the news leaked out only as lato as yesterday evening. I am told thal it has already reached the cars of a rich jeweller m this city, who is about to start an expedition which ho purposes to carry on himself. It is moro than probablo that tho crew of tho abaudonod vessel have anticipated him; and if thoy were lucky enough tokoep their B3Cret and fit out a small craft with what? ever they required on board, aro now quarrying in thc diamond archipelago. P. S.-I forgot testate thal tho captain writes that thc entire bottom of the sea seemed as if glittering with gems for at least ti vc miles from tho islands. Iii ese will probably never ho of use, for they must bo hugo rocks of diamond, and cannot bo dotacbod unless some better mode of blasting under water than that already practiced can bo invented. I forgot also to add my conjecture that tho roason tho diamond rock is 6oen in its full purity arises from the fact that they wor . projoctod right forward from the very centre of tho earth. What thc captain calls white tr msparcut fliatroek is probably some formation not known as yet to geologists. This will bo better understood as soon as the place is explored.
