LATES.-In aa interview with General Tar? bell, secretary of the Republican Executive Committee of Mississippi, at tho residence of Secretary Stob, in New York, on the ?th in? stant, General Grant remarked on the small number of ?Republicans engaged io tho "Na? ttonal Republican party" in Mississippi, using the name of Judge Dont, and said that, im Iiis j judgment, the fact was in itself evidence that they could not be otherwise than used by the opposition. The President said his only de? sire was peace and unity, and he would do anything that waa right to bring that about; but that these people cast suspicions, upon their own motives by the fact that all their efforts seem to be aimed at dividing, not aiding the Republican party in their midst. If they were really In earnest . they would not be sq anxious about thoeo with whom they acted... To sincere men itcou1.d not he dimcult to tell who in the South were and , had he?n the administration's friends.

Thc Separation of tho Bexei--??len With? out Wives aaa Women Without lins? bands-'heir Kemarfcable Religions ?.remanies?The Shatter's Interior feile. A correspondent of tho Now York Sun gives an interesting account of a recent visit to tho priucipil coraniunity of those peculiar people, the Shakers: i . . . " .AIL:; _._ m.' - " ? A weautttui ounu?j mossing louuu your our* respondent at Columbia Hall, tbe principal hotel in tho picturesque village ol New Leba? non, Oolurnbia Oouuty, N. Y. .The village IH renowned chiefly as the home of tho Blinkers. 1 had never seen tims" strange people . I had often b?ard of them aa an honest, industrious, and thrifty people possoasmg; many virtues, and f trie Hy adhering to the te no ta of their faith, and I had long desired to visit their sst Uemeut, view their ; farms and gardens, see them in their housus, and observe their form of religious worship. And now tue opportu? nity presented itself. It is well known that one of the fundamental principles of the Shakers' cteed is a bf.* of s trio! celibacy. They claim to be the, people of who ai Jesus said, VT ibey neither marry nor are giren m. marriage, but are. as.the angels of God m He:iven." . Hut to the public they pro? teas not to condemn marri <ge as an institu? tion of "the world," ant! to allow no "believ? ing" husband or wife to separate from an "un? believing" wife or husband except legally or by mutual agreement IHR 8SIE8 DWELMNO APART. Tbe N^w York Lebanon 8oeioty of Shakers numbera'about six hundred, and ia the oldest, as well as the Urgest society of the order in this country. The settlement is about two miles from tho village proper. Boon alter entering tbe boundaries of the community, the buil? dings, dwellings, atoros, church, barna, herb room, oto., come io view. On each side of the wide and oven road aro large, rectangu? lar wooden houses, three or four stories high, and uniform io siso and appearance,. TneBe are the dwellings, t A spacious ball rune through tho-, centre of the building, i ?be apartments - of the brethren and Bisters are usually ai the opposite sides or ends of the house. From , two to six live ip ' a room; and although the men and worn eu ot a community live thus contiguous, sleeping adder the same roof and eating in the same dining room, they profess to have no social intercourse with each other beyond that of business or devotional exercise. They enter tho building at opposite ends of the hull; they ait at separate tables, and indulge m no conversation, with each other, unless it be to express their merest wants, oe when a superior gives directions or icstruots a subordinate. TEE COMPOSITION OF THE COMMUNITIES. It is not generally known that eaob society of Shakers is constituted of several distinct families, which are self-supporting, and pos? sess within themselves perfect Organization fl io both temporal and spiritual matters, regu? larly officered, comprising elders, deacons,caro takers, and others. The Society of New Le? banon embraces eight of these families. The ; different comm inities, or families, In each ao I ciety number from thirty to one hundred and fifty members of both, sexes, who goner 'y ocenpy one barge, unitary dwelling, in which, aa they claim, the brethren and sisters live together in a spiritual order abd social rela ! tion. THE PLACES OT WOHSHIP. Each dwelling contains a large meeting-room sufficiently spacious to accommoda.o all the members of the family, and in thia room tboy assemble several times a week for worship, and from twice to thrice a week they havu reuni? a meetings in their private rooms, where from four o eight or ten of the brethren sud sisters spend aa hour or so sitting together. ih devo? tional conversation and binging. TU WORKSHOPS. *. i'ffeTe" fU"e fflSfPlflllKS ?MtleCTeht Urge build? ings containing numerous workshops connect? ed with each family,, one for the men the other for tho women. In these various branches of manufacture aro carried on, consisting of neces? sary artiolee for home consumption and for sale. They have all the mechanical trades necessary to meet the immediate wants of a, family, but are largely dependent upon the neighboring villages and cities for the improved implements which reader modern agriculture sue ;essful. AOmCTJIiTUBS AND HORTICULTURE. Hitherto horticultura has been the leading busin ass io most of the Shaker societies, but recently they are turning their attention con? siderably to agriculture. The society ?at New Lebanon owns about 6000 acres of land, a larga abare of which ia tor fuel, timber and? Sheep, being very mountainous. Tho rest is devoted to agricultura and horticulture. j. IN TBE H0TJ3E OF WORSHIP. As we drove up to the Shaker "meetrag hous3,*' a largo rectangular, ' plain wooden building, with a convex roof, their singing reached our ears. They had already began their devotional exercises, although it was not yet ten o'clock in the morning. We alighted m front of the church, and entered, our wives through the door on one side of the aanotu iry, and we through another on the opposite Bide. Many visitors were in the house, And an usher gave us seats allotted to those who are not of the "persuasion." These seats aro plain wooden benches, and differ from those used by the Shakers themselves in that they are sup? plied with a back. When we entere 1 the ''moeting-house" wo could hardly suppress a smile. Banged in line across tho room-one row behind another, ac? cording to height -the men on one side of the bouse, the women on tbe other, they stood in their quaint costumes, their faces oast down, their eyed on the floor. The men wore coate, pantaloons, and waistcoats of tho same materi? al, butternut-colored-coat of the aooient shad belly pattern, with a standing collar reaching to the ear, waistcoat buttoned close to the throat, with standing collar and continuations of the most libera I dimensions. About their necks each wore a white kerchief, containing at least a half yard of muslin, Tbe women w?te neatly attired in gowna of so ne light lead-colored material reaching to toe feet, and guiltless ot expansion by crino? line. Each wore, pinned over her shoulder and bosom, a white kerchief or small shawl. Each , one, from tbe oldest wrinkled old woman to j tbs youngest child, wore a close fitting whits ' cap, not unlike a nightcap, over whiob wa ? tied or pinned a thin white scarr. This com? pleted th- h cac dross. Tbe hair ortho women waa cut short and inclosed in's small brown net. J he bair of the meit was cot close to th? scalp Over the forehead and temples, bat allow? ed to grow long behind tho ears. In some cases it fell in tangled, tufted locks upon th? shoulder. THC MANNER OF WORSHIP. We had been seated but a few moments when two of the sisters and brethren, acting as Bead? ers, began ia a slow, drawling, sing-song tone to chant one of their peculiar songs or hymns, the words of wbioh ere could not distinguish. All the worshippers at once joined in, moving their hands in jin energetic manner ap and down in unison witb the music. S jveral songs were tb as sung-tho peculiar gesture of the open hand being ono of the ceremonies of their service. After this ceremony, one of tbe lead? ers stepped from thc frost rash and t^Uisg a position on the floor midway between tbe separated sexes, spoke a few words ot exhorta? tion, admonishing the me abor* of the society to live in harmony and ding fast to tbe tenets of their faith. When he bsd finished he quiet? ly took bis olace again in the. ranks, and was followed by others in a similar attain. ?HS 6K?XB3 SBtnfFLS DANCES. During this time the worshippers stood im? mobile, with eyes fixed on the floor and hands clasp ed together in the moot supple attitude of haimlitv. Not once did ono of thess moyo or lift the eye to tho right or loft, In ?be Inter? vals of their service 5 on could have heard ? pin fall Ju anv part of the great hall of wor? ship;: jsot thia was only the first part of the Servies.1 Suddenly, at a signal from one of the leaders, all faced,to the left-with the precis? ion of drilled soldiers-their backs to the spec? tators. Taking regular distance from eaoh other, there was active preparation far the shani ? danoo, which is also a part of their de? votional exercise, AH enterad into this danoo with spirit, some of tho brethren pulled off their coals and bung them en th? pegs around the walls of the hal!; acd 1 was told that ott exceedingly bot days it ls the custom oLall the brethren to divest themselves of their coats and sometime? their waistcoats also, on the beginning of the dance. A half^osan*of'the sisters aud* bret bren, conttitatlng a ohou\ ?azt took their positions in front of the worshippers, and, Mein? eaoh ether, hagan again ons of their peculiar oh an ts, which could hardly be called a melody, gea t icu - sting violently with their banda as before, rbis was the music for the daucnier. All moved forward in a sort of shani) step, some ?omit?* in tho einging, and.ail gesticulating iv dh their honda io unison wi'h the singera, tdovinar forward a step pr two. all raced about together and shuffled back to the position which they had occupied. Thia waa continued without variation at leuat half an hour, and it re is surprising as well as amusing to eoe with what zest ana energy ?orne of the oldei breth? ren and Bieters entered into tbe exorcise. THE KA acm ABOUND THE SANCTUABT. S?udttuiy this ceremony also ceased at a sig? nal from some one ot the leaders, and all facod again to t-.e right in the same position as when we entered the house. Af toi remaining in the same meditative, immobile position before des? cribed, for some moments, they began prepa? ration for another feature of the worship. All formed in column of fours, according to height, the men in one column and the women in an? other. Again the choir drawled out their dole? ful chants, and the column marohed in step to che music around the hoilding, tho women tn a reverso direction to that of the men. Many joined , in chanting the, mos ir-, and all kept time to .the air in the. peculiar emphatic, ges? ture .of tho bands and arms as before. . For half,.au hour at least did; they thus march \ rou nd tho ball, the ohoir forming a circle and occupv lng a stationary position in the centre ot the floor, and at a signal all again assumed the position they had at first occupied, with the precision of soldiers. THE END OF THE DANCE. Again they stood for a few moments as silent as so many statues. The plain, wbite pine benches, which were piled one upon the other about the sides of the hap, were then taken dowi. and placed in position by the sisters and brethreu respectively. Regularly and silently as clockwork this was done, without any com? motion whatever. . Tho mehr?ook their seats first, and then noiselessly ?s 80 many ghosts! the women glided to their proper places and dropped on the benches. Both men and women took ?rom their pockets thou* large cotton hand? kerchiefs or napkins, which they spread on their knees, and on. -vhioh they rested their hands. " { , \ THE PREACHING. Tho preacher of the coir ra un i ty then stepped Forward in front- of. the Visitors, his back to? ward the members of th? society, and ia a sahn, impassioned manner began bis discourse, which waa address ad entirely to tbe visitors, [t was an artful, logical aigoment in support of the Shaker creed; but although he spoke with? out notes, it was easy to see that the address bad been carefully prepared for the occas! in. He studiously avoided reference to the dogma }f the sect, and only alluded to those parts of tbeu* creed oo which few persona would be in alined to take iesae. I was told, however, that frequently the preachers of the communi? ty openly and energetically proclaimed their doctrine as the only true faith, and character? ized all other orders aa heathen. The remarks of the preacher concluded the devotional ex arcisos of the morning. On* of the leaders iroso, simply remarked, "The meeting ia now iiamisaed," and then, without a word being spoken or a look of r?cognition with one mother exchanged, the Shakers silently glided rot of the hall, the women through one door, ind tbe men through another.

NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION. 1 fee Little -'Hew*" Ahead ot ?all tri? Pom it?rons New York Dollies, the Herald ?tot fexoepted. ' [From the New York Dally Kew?, Auguat tu lt is hardly necessary to Inform reflecting persons hat the publication of the gross som received by a newspaper office for subscrip? tions is not an infallible index or the circula? tion of the journal to which it han reference, ?nioHs accompanied by a pubJicsAiob vf ti:s wholesale price at which the paper is sot?. The Herald, for irJbtanoe, publishes a Siek of the gross receipts from subscriptions alone of all tbe journals in this city save one. putting down Its own receipts for the las t quartoi of 1868 at 8^88.805; ot the first quarter or the present year at $199 757, and of the second quarter, ending on June 80. at $204,912, while in.tho same list it give? the receipts of the News from suhecriDtions for the last quarter of 186$ at $64 750; tboee foi the first quarter of the present year at $66.750 ; and those of the quarter ending on June 80, I860, at $69, 758. These facts are correct, and we unite with the Herald m drawing publio attention to them. We agree i th it that a table compiled from tbe returns of the Internal lievenue Dapart ment may be regarded as legal testimony of the facts therein stated; and we moreover agree with it in every other particular io which it refers in its oomments yesterday oo the pub? lished list alta Jed to, except one, and that is its palpably self-denying assertion that "tho Herald nearly doubles the circulation of any other daily Journal." So fur is the statement of the Herald from being oorrect, that we deem it a duty to sall its attention to tbe inexeus* ablo fallacy of ito computation. Instead of -ita havfnig a circulation double that of anv journal, the News during the quarters computed in the list referred to, not only more thad doubled the circulation of the Herold, but during the same time ino* eased its own circulation ata much greater ratio than marked ! the increase of the circulation of tho Herald, aa shown by the figures of the internal t?venue hat, which we take occasion again to declare, in tho words of the Herald, ''may be regarded as legal testi? mony of the facta therein a tated." t ?Ead the proprietor of tbs Herald, who could, not have been ignorant' of the ; duauenge u e some months since pat. forth ia regard-to the circulation of the News-for it was published in the columns of that paper, and ha? not to this moment been accepted-confined himself to the mere publication of the internal revenue list of the retara? ot ne vs pa per eubsor i plions, we would have left the public to ascertain by a very simple rule of arithmetic that tbe News, which is ?old wholesale at half a cent a copy, must onto umber more than two to one the cir? culation ol tue Herald, which ie sold at whole? sale at throe cents a copy. But as it was deemed necessary to make a declaration which might deceive those who look only at the gross receipts of the various newspapers as indices ot their comparative circulation,we have thought {iroper to expose it, and suggest that the pub? ic ascertain for themselves whether or not our calculation of tho comparative circulation of the daily News and daily Herald;ia correct. The point is arrived at very readily after set? ting ont with the understanding that every copy of the News sells at the office at'one-half cent a copy, and the Herald at three cents, and in many oases-perhaps one-sixth of the editioo-at four cents, though we w di give it the benefit of the latter. Had the wholesale brice of the News, therefore, been that at which the Herald sells, its receipts for the first quarter included in the list would have amounted to $888 500 instead of 461759, while the receipts of tbe Herald from its sales at half a cent a copy, the wholesale price of the Mews, would have fallen to the comparatively insignificant sum of $81,809 17. in plaoe of $188,893, and so in like proportion with the loosipts of the two papers during the other two quai tor*, the re? turns of Which are comprehended' In the In? ternal revenue Hat. Dividing the Herald's re? i turns by six, and multiplying the news returns by the same figure, is the siinp??; method by which the transmutation is accomplished. In order to give the Herald, or any Other Journal which it may concern, an opportunity of testing this question effectually, we append the challenge we some time sinoe published, With the hope that it may this time be ac? cepted: A NEWSPAPER CHaliliBNOE.

A Just Tftbvte From at Foe, The following from the address of Governor Ohamberlin, at the late reunion of the Army of the Potomac, In New York, is both true and Jost to those "who fought nobly and well.*' Allndlng; to the "ragged rebels" who stood at ManaasaS, at Chancellorsville and Petersburg, Go That Army of Northern Virginia 1 Who can helo looking back upon them now with feelings half fraternal ? Bagged and reckless. yet care . fut to keep their bayonet?) bright and lines of battle wall dressed; reduced to dire extremi? ties sometimes, yet a ways already fir a fight; rough and rode, yet knowing well now to make a field illustrious. Who can forget them-the brave, bronzed ' faces that looke 1 at us for four years across th? flaming pit-men with whom in a hundred fierce grapples we fought with remorseless desperation and all the terrible energy of death, till on the one aide and the other a quarter of% million foll, and yet we never hated except that they struck at the old flag ? A STRANGE FOISON. Tlie Plant toy wbleb trte Empress Car? lotta. Beeavme Intane-Qenorai A ese? ?ISO Poisoned. By telegraphic dispatches it appears tbat General Lesea ba>i been poisoned. It is uh certain Whether tbe deed was perpetrated by some one of tho insurgents or by some Span? iard who feared that iveac* was using too much clemency toward the Coban forces. Certain it is tbat Lesea has boen poisoned, and that bi? mind has become sadly injured. The pro? b ability is that he Will live,' bat become insane. The decoction by Which he has been thrown in this sad plight, it is certain, was the sam? by which the interesting widow of the unfor? tunate Maximilian was thrown from the do? main of reason into the depths of lunacy. To us Ibis unfortunate widow has always appear? ed like Shakespeare's Ophelia, who, with dark? ened mind, strewed flowers on the stream. This poison, which maddens without bring? ing death to its victim, is derived from an herb which grows in Coba, South America and a few places in Mexico. The plant ls one of tbe most woad?rfol of nature's productions. It resembles the century plant in many of ita features. Like the century plant, it is a mem? ber of the cactus family; still further, it blooms onoe in many yerra and at recular intervals. The bud is large, and resembles that of the horse-chestnut in the peculiar gluten surround? ing it, From thia the natives derive the poison. Tho flower ia of a gigantic sise, and contains a purple centre, surrounded, by blue and white circles. The perfume ia delicious, but deadly, and the natives shun approach as the sailors of tho old songs of tho sirens. To inhale is sweet, but to remain is death. The sorcerers, or medicine men, take the buds of thia singu? lar plant, and, first roasting, place them in a pot with sweet oil over a fire, and danoo around with strange ceremonies till the oil and Juice of the. herb mingle, when they osase their strange incantations and pour tho docootion, then resembling honey, into shallow plates, from which, after the lapse of a few days, it is a?ain taken and kept in miniature jars. The pois , a, when taken in sufficient quanti? ty, first places the brain in a delightful deli? rium, resembling that produced by rusel oil; this is succeeded, In a few' days, by an uncon? trollable apatht, which atlast culminates in ipsantty, in which the patient is at times strangely rational, .then wildly insane, and aaain rational, but greatly exhilarated. -This poison ia uofc destroyed by being mingled io victuals before being subjectea ra near, vat ; ita Immediate effects are somewhat deaden-' ed. Th*y are sure to appear, however, itt the lapse of time. This is the manner in which tb? poison is generally administered. When the victim is of no great influence, and it is improbable that ho oan turn upon his poisoner, tbe decoction is administered in a glass of wine or a oup ot cocoa. The poison manifests itself shortly, and in.the course of a week all the various phases of the delirium appear. The sad tate of the Empresa Carlotta is known to all, but this description ot the poi? son, from what it is derived, and how it acts, may add io forming a more corroct apprecia? tion of the horrible troubles to which she is subject. General Lesea has been poisoned by the same heib, and is now subject to the same freak? of insanity as the Empresa Carlotta. VANDERBILT ANI> GARRISON. X Q,ueer sStory - ?lrt Comma odor? ?Garri? son try to Blaoot Commodore Vander? bilt ? Here is a new s'ory about the great "Bail road King" of New York : There is in New York a steamboat man by the name of 'Garrison. When Vanderbilt began running his steamers to Ban Francisco, he en? gaged G arri so a at ten thousand a year to at? tend to his business at San Francisco. The contract was for ten thousand a year for ten years, and was in writing. A little time after the Commodore sold out his interest to the Pacific Mail Company, and Garrison was left to himself. ?he latter threatened and finally sued Vanderbilt, but to nj eff ot. At length, being weary of Vanderbilt** d?lai jg. ?mri beleg ? mat? famous for his Herculean powers, he call? ed upon the Commodore at bia little office in Fourth street, near Broadway. On entering be turned tho key and placed it in his pocket; Turning to Vanderbilt, be said: "Commodore, you are at my mercy. You or I will never leave thia office till you nave settled with me." Upon this he drew out an imposing looking re? volver and sat down opposite'the Commodore. Vanderbilt is not easily terrified. Address? ing Garrison, he said: "Captain, keep cool; you are joking. Even if 1 wished I could not pav your demands here at thia time." Garrison was undaunted by this, but ex? claimed : "Commodore, it is useless for you to talk so. ' Thia account must be settled. You or I will be dead, but I will not leave this office till you have paid me." "HoW oin I?" said Vanderbilt, now begin? ning to feel the discomfort of his position. Weil," said Garrison, '- io that safe there you have enough to pay me. This account must be Bottled, or you or I die, that is ell." The Commodore looked .sternly ft Garrison tor a moment; then turned to bl? safe, drew out some stocks and bonds, and said : "Garri? son, you are game. Here are stools an 5 bonds. Take your dues, and leave." Garrison selected one hundred thousand dollars of the precious omi-Acatos, pocketed them, and walked off. Ever siuco that time he and Vanderbilt have been good friends. Gar? rison is still here among New York shipping men, rainy of whom have known him in even more serious roles than tbis wo have described,. COTTON MIXA?

Instead of pulling down, they build up; Instead of assaulting Nature, they assist her. Cupping, leeching, blistering, venesec? tion, calomel, antimony, stupifying narcotics, and rasping purgatives, once the favorite resources of the faculty, are now rarely resorted to even by the most dogmatl ? members of the profession. The old creed was that disease was something which must be expel?, d bj violent artificial means, irrespective of tbe wear and tear of .the vital organisation In the process. The sew creed recognizes the improve? ment of the general health as essential to the cure of all local ailment". Hence it is that HOSTKTTEB'S STOMACH LITTERS, tbe moat potent vegetable teplo that pharmacy baa ever br jught to the assis? tance of nature in her struggles with1 disease, has been cordially approved . by practitioners of the modern school.
