Appleton' Journal for July 15 :s a number replete with interest to Charlestonlans. MasBrs. 0. B. Bunce and Harry Fenn-the former the - editor and the latter the artist of the Journal lately visited our city, and evidently made good use of their memorandum and sketch books during their stay. For the admirable sketches of Mr. Fenn, Including the glorious bird's-eye view from St. Michael's steeple, we must refer our readers to the Journal Itself, which may be had at Holme3'3 bool- house, or . at the Hasg} street Bazaar. The letter of Mr. Bunce which accompanies and heightens the Mite rest . f these sketches,-contrasts so pleas-.] anti? in its genial tone with the accounts sent by the political correspondents, that we are sure our readers will thank os for giving it to them entire. Mc-Bonce writes: If one go to Charleston from -the North r let him go in the spring time. The almost sud? den change from wintry landscape and bleak winds to summer sons and summer foliage ls a delightful surprise. If it chance with the traveller, as lt chanced with Mr. Fenn and the writer, that the steamer nail away from the New York wharf amid the rain and wind of a ip> Northern March, that all the way southward V cloud and storm surround and beset - the ves? sel, and then at once come with the longed-for sun. tho wished-for harbor, the sudden sweet ness andi beauty of the scene will seem to him a transition to a terrestrial paradise. Because Charleston lies low, and seems to rise up ont of tho waters as one sails up to It, ' it has b ien called the American Venice. It may be doubted if one would think of this ' comparison If the g/ide-books did notsuggest it. There are charm s enough iii' the American city to please even an experienced traveller, but one would scarcely find his appreciation of them enhanced by recalling the wonders of '. the Bride of the Adriatic. If in no true sense a Venice, Charleston yet rises with charming effect from the sea. The long, palm-studded shores of the bay,'the islands and forts that dot its surface, the mansions that front the ?waten,, and the spires that lift to the skies, all make up a very pretty picture. - The first Impression.the streets of Charles? ton give ls that of retiring respectability. There are no splendid avenues, no imposing public structures, but a few Une old churches, and many noble private mansions standing in a sort of dingy stateliness amid their embow? ering magnolias, command youflptttention. Our New York custom, derived from our Dutch ancestors, of painting our brick fronts ra not in vogue here, where the houses have the sombre'out rich toning that age alone can give when its slow pene ii lin gs are never dis? turbed by the rude totrusio: q$ihe painter's brush. The Charleston mant ms are nearly always built with gable-end to ilie ?treet. At one side risesT a tier of open verandas, Into the lower of which the main entrance to the building is.placed. Usually, after the English fashion, a high brick wall encloses the. grounds of the house, and it is only through an open gateway that one catches a glimpse ot flowers, and shrubs and vines, that bloom and expand within the enclosure. But the rich dark- green of the magnolia half screens the nnsmootned brick walls far above, and seems to hold the ancient structure l?. the husjr of venerable repose. W It ls quite! possible the somewhat rude sur? t?a, face and antique color of the brick houses In Charleston weald fall to-please the taste of Northerners reared amid the supreme n?w ness Of our always reconstructing cities. But every one ought to travel In the company of an artist. It ls only when associated with one of this Instructed class that a man discovers the use ol his eyes, and begins to understand fully the beauties and Harmonies, and rich effects that pertain to many things neglected fay ordinary observers. These time-tinted mansions of Charleston, to the eye of an ar? tist, have {nany charms. In my own^case I found it a good training to hear enthusiastic Mr. Fehn dilate upon this- blt.of color, this ?l mose bi rich toning, this .new and surpris g effect. It was even a revelation sometimes to see him extract a picture out of apparently * the most unfavorable material. Nothing, in? deed, seemed foreign to him but the merely pretty. Sweet, new houses' of a respectable firimness have no attraction for his artistic onglnga. Fresh paint is his abomination. The glare of the new enters like lian into .bis soul.- But a fine blt ot dilapidation, a rtiln With a vine clambering over it, a hut all awry, with a group of negroes in their flaring tur? bans set 'against the gaping walls, old chim? neys and old roots; the dark grays and browns that form into such rich pictures in au old town, these things would be snre to catch his eye and .delight his fancy. In these semi? tropical places there'are' a hundred bits that would be admirable for a sketch in oil or4 water colors, that would lose their value in black and white. It ls a pity that divine color cannot enter Into engraving. The search for the picturesque that, would meet the necessities pf our purpose was not expeditions. It is only after walking ?round a place, and surveying lt from different situa? tions, that an artist can Bettie upon his point of view. We were three days In Charleston, ere Mr. Fenn discovered the prospect from St. Michael's belfry, and to this the reader's atten? tion is solicited. If he does not think it very good, I shall be tempted to denounce his artis? tic appreciation. Note the far stretch of sea and the long, low shor??; there ls Fort Sumter far down the bay, and - nearer the famous Cas? tle Pinckney, a fortress that stands guard In the direct approach to the town. The portion of the city which. this -view -commands is Its most ancient quarter. Many of the buildings were t-iected in colonial times, and up to the period of the Revolution this comprised nearly the entire city.'' The chimneys are of a quaint fashion,'and the roofs are mostly of grooved red tiles. The wide, street to the left of the picture is-the Charleston Wall street, where congregate ali the banks and banking-houses, brokers' offices and law-offices. Here assem? ble the merchants and brokers; here are effect? ed those transactions in commerce and finance so dear to the heart .of the money-making world. The building at the foot of the street ls the ancient customhouse, which during the recent war was rudely hustled by manyan irreveredti shell, unciramonlonsly battered by ball and* petard, and now stands a broken and shattered reminiscence of by-gone belligeren? cy. This structure, which dates back; oelore the independence ot the. colony, is dear to the Charlestonlans. It has always excited their' patriotic sympathies, for here during the Revo-' muon the patriot prisoners were confined, und from its portals the heroic martyr Hayne was led to execution. The old buildings that the church looks down upon are not- more ancient than the church itself. St. Michael's was built lu 1752 -it is said from designs by a pupil ot Slr Christopher Wren.- The tower is considered, very fine, and the situation ot the church makes the spire a conspicuous object far out at Bea* During the siege ol'.Charleston'in jJie late war ii was ? mark for the Federal .artil? lerymen; but though persistently shelled, it was struck but a few times, and then only with slight Injury. Another of the ancient churches lu Charles? ton ts St Philip's. This was the first church establishment in Charleston; but the present, structure, which is the third erected by the parish, although ot venerable age, is yet not .anita so old as St.- Michael's. The view from the spire ls. fine: but there ls a keener Interest In the graveyard than even in the old church itself, lor here aie , met with at every turn those family names that have BO long been as sooiaiea in honor, not only with Charleston, but'with the whole country-Gadsden, Rut? ledge nnr". Pinckney. Ia the portion of the graveyard that lies across the roadway is the tomb of Calhoun. It consists ora plain gran? ite slab, supported by walls ol brick, and for inscription has simply the name of "CAL ? HOON." St: 'Philip's, with its embowering trees, its ancient gravestones, its scarred and .broken walls, its marks ol hostile shells, Its surroundings of old buildings, the tiled roof bf which show quaintly through the green of the trees, affords a picture that is picturesque and pleasing. Charleston has been accused of not having -f a public park: but the- promenade knowe the Battery is an enclosure which, if en has Borne advantages that very few .parks supply. Like our own New York Battery, on the water's edge; it commands a vlev the extensive bay, and is fanned by winds come laden with the salt odors of the oe It ls surrounded by fine private mansions, at early morning, at twilight, or on mot nights, ls thronged with people seeking and recreation. After one, .in Charleston, has promena ou the Battery; has visited the churches; seen all the ruins effected by war and by : has examined the handsome new-Cust house now erecting; ' has admired all j stately old residences; has visited the Military Academy; has watched the varioui pee ts of negro character, which lu these Soi ern cities ls au endless source of amusemei he must'sall down the bay, and he must ?) the rich lowland scenery of the suburbs. - Down the bay are many points of hist interest; but Fort Sumter crowns them all. Sullivan's Island, at the sea-line,'ls the mons Fort Moultrie of Revolutionary la Here, before the war,-was the Moultrie Hot a watering-place resort for the Charlestoni' Sumter ls a ruin, as all the world knows; possibly allfche world does not know thal the highest point of its walls a lighthouse .been erected; thus utilizing the historic grou One experiences something of a sensatioi he picks hhs way over the broken bricks i stones, of this Lort, and, if alone, would be to drift;away into lar reaches ot m?dit?t!

After clamber, over the? ruins, penetral!ng the dark und ground passages, visiting the casemates tl Still remalL, wejjj returned,. a high wind glvl animation and expedition-to the sall. Perhaps the greatest charm to the Charl ton visitor ls the lowland scenery ot its si urbs.~>The city ls s?tnatet? at the confluence the Ashley and- Cooper Rivers; and the bat .o? these streams have all the characteristics Southern landscapes. Oaks, magnolias,. m ties, and Jasmines, give splendor and profus to the pic tare, wblie rice-fields and" co tt< fields-vary and enrich the scene. Here'or resided, during a part of the year, a weall aristocracy ; but, alas ! nearly every mans! is in ruin?. .The destructive arm of war I upon this pa rid iso with* air Its loree, nea every one of the" fine old houses having be fired by Sherman's soldiers. . Our expedition to'the ?Bhley we shall Io -remember. It was by the Invitation of Charil ton friends, whose hospitality justified the BOC reputation of the city. The- political el?mer, composing the party were as antagonistic possible; but, regardless of North or. Soul the Ku-Klux, or the fifteenth amendment, i gathered in peace. - There were Ju our ami company a Northerner, who had fought und the Union flag, a descendant, ol one of t proudest names of Revolutionary fame; a V: ginian, e' s of a family of renown, whose lo ol daring and danger bad led loto many strange adventure under Mosby; an E gllshman,- whose enthusiasm for ti Confederate eau?e had brought bim i the way from London to do "battle under Le another Englishman, whose sympathle&tortl Federal cause had been marked all during tl war; a sou of a distinguished journalist of Ne York, whose name has been notably identini with the Republican party; and, lastly, tl writer, of whose political complexion it ls n necessary to speak. But, in the face of i these elements of difference, the company w supremely harmonious; and the day, in tl estimation of at least some of us. must 1 marked with a white stone. The malu road.from Charleston into tl country bas been frequently highly pralsei and, although some er the fine trees that bo dered lt have been destroyed, lt 1B still an av nue of singular beauty. The road emerg from Charleston almost Immediately into green wilderness, and for a long distance it canopied by the boughs of pines and oaks ac magnolias with rich effect. There are no sigc along the road, as would be the case lu ot Northern section, ol the proximity of a grei city. No houses or villas line the way; yo seem a hundred miles from a town. You me? occasionally a queer, slight carl, drawn by a ox or a donkey; yon pass a group of sport! men; you encounter now and then on the roa< side a group of negroes. We reached Ashley River by a sort of b i road. Here a bridge once spanned the Btreah but lt was destroyed during the war, and no* there ls a boat propelled by the lusty arms c negro ferrymen. A rope would aid the pa .sage greatly; but our Southern Africans tak usually the most troublesome means possibl to accomplish their ends.: They are proflclen In the art-of how not, to dcra thing. When w reached the bank, tiru boat was on the op pc site shore. The current was. swift; lt tool fully half an hour to get the boat aver to us and then the vessel could only accommod?t' one ol bur two -vehicles. We were nearly t wi hours getting our, forces to the opposite sid of the stream.' Once on the opposite side, wi were driven through a striking scene-a nar row road winding through a superb Souther! forest, where the mammoth live-oak and the tall pine and princely magnolia {Magnolie Sanai?ora) unite to lora vistas of rare beauty ie live-oak of the Southern lowlands ls th? most picturesque of trees. The famous Call tor nla trees are of interest solely on account o their magnitude. Their gigantic proportions im pose upon the Imagination, it is true; but the' lack altogether the quaint,fantastic and pictur? esque form of the live-oak: - An artist could make a series of studies of these trees in whlct every one would be esseutlally peculiar lr iorm. . We were shown au avenue of live oaks, standing in the very heart of tte lorest, thal would maire a superb approach to the ti ne si palace In Europe. But, alas ! here lt leads on h to a ruined waste. A romantic story ls connect ed with tills avenue, which some poet should pu* in verse. The young owner of the estate - this was many years ago-had brought a fall bride from foreign lauds. A bridal cavalcade swept out of Charleston to- escort groom' and bride to the manorial mansion cn the Ashley. The proud and eager groom, anxious tc show his young wife the charms of bei new home, urged ber steed ahead of the rest, and. when they reached the avenue ol oaks, called upon her to look abd admire. Almost as they spoken cloud of smoke appear? ed at the other end of the avenue, and In? stantly flames of fire shot up among the tree? tops. The old manor was tu a biaze, and the bride arrived only tn time to see the destruc? tion of her promised paradise. The young husband was BO cast down, by this calamity that he carried his wife abroad, and never re? turned to bte American estate. Trees and bushes have grown up. around'the old oaks, but the avenue retains all its distinct majesty amid tile encroaching growths of th? forest. -Of all the" planters' houses that stood along the Ashley, but one remains, and this ls aban? doned. -'Drayton Hall'-' ls a large brick man? sion, standing in the (?entre o? grounds of a park-like character. The rooms are wainsoot "ed from floor to ceiling, the fire-places arq lined with old-fashioned colored tiles, and the mantels are richly carved, but the building was never entirely finished. The^ story goes that lt was erected - lu ' exact 'copy of an English mansion, in or? der to grattly the taste of the lady lo whom the owner was betrothed. The wainscot, the tiles, the carved mantels, and marble col? umns, were all Imported from England; but, ere the chivalrous lover had reproduced on the Ashley a lull copy ot the house which had oharmed lils be th roth ed on the Thames, the lady died: and, since then, the unfinished manor, like a broken -monumental column, stands in its incompleteness a memorial of his loss. It is now occupied by negroes. Its par? lor is a granary. Its wainscot is badly marred, and tho rare, colored tiles o? Its fireplaces have been lu part carried off by predatory hands. Our deatinatloajwas the estate known by the name of "Magnolia," on the grounds of which we were to lunch. This place ls almost a para? dise, but a paradise in ruins.- The abundance of magnolia: gives it its name, but these are interspersed with immense oaks, and, at the lime we were there, under the trees a splendid display of jap?nicas and azaleas filled the spaces with au of color such as we had never seen. The planter had given devoted attention to azaleas, grouping the different shades of color from while to deep scarlet ip delicate con? trasts; and this flower, blooming on' bushes from three to a dozen fret in height, lined all the winding avenues, and flashed uuder the shadows o? the magnolias a tropical splendor of bloom that oiled us all with admiration. And all this in the midst of desolation and neglect, with overgrown pathways, unweeded beds, and the blackened walls o? the home? stead looking down upon the scene I A few negroes were In possession, and one tall, mel ancho!y, gray-haired mulatto, with all the-dig? nity and deportment of-the old school, lifted hts hat, and .said : "Welcome, gentlemen, to Magnolia!". On the'border of a small lake within the grounds, shadowed by the moss hung ooughs ot the oak, we lunched; and then' bade adieu to th? placer The day after oar visit to Ashley Elver we drove to a very old church on Goose Crees, near Cooper River, and about seventeen miles from Charleston. This church was ballt in 1711. It is situated in the very heart of a forest, Is approached by a road scarcely better than a bridle-path, and is entirely Isolated from habitations of any sort. A deep ditch surrounds the- building, uug as a means of protecting the graves within it from wild ani? mais. This church was saved irom destruc? tion by the Tories during the Revolutionary war ' n. 'account of the British arms that are emb. led on the wall hist above the pulpit. The interior ls very odd. Seventeen square pews fill up the ground-floor, which, like all old English churches, is of stone. A gallery at one end has three or four rows ot benches, and under this gallery are a few more benches designed for the negro servants. The altar, the reading-desk and the pulpit are so small, and crowded in a space so narrow, that they seem almost miniatures of those church fix? tures. The monumental tablets on the side of the altar are very oddly ornamented in lorin, and, what .is still more -singular, are highly emblazoned ia color. .Although these tablets have, been-In their places over ene hundred and fifty years, the colors retain apparently all their original brilliancy. The lion and the unicorn over the pulpit also preserve their original* tints. These specimens of old-time fresco gave us unelected proof of. the dura? tion of this method of color-painting, and the whole chancel in its gay tints and ornamental carving seemed queerly out of place in'the otherwise plain and rude structure. Goose Creek Church was once the centre of flourishing settlements,, but, with the decad? ence that has come over the old Common? wealth, the plantations are forsaken, and this historical vestige stands, in the midst ol a wil? derness, neglected and almost unknown. Trees and bushes nave overgrown and hld the grave? stones, and the native forest threatens in time to obscure the very foundations of the budd? ins. It is so usual with us to erect churches in tie centre of settlements, with th? school? house, the parsonage, and ether structures I near, that thu odd Jedlfle?, standing so-far apart from habitat ions .ot any kind,, seems sin? gular enough.- Bat the system of the settle? ment of the South, with large plantations and few towns, partially explains the anomaly. f '"Magnolia Cemetery" is one of the places in Charleston to which strangers are directed. ?It ls a new cemetery, and Tts name ls rather derived from what is.expected of it than what lt exhibits'. ' So far, very few magnolias adorn, lt, but there-are some live-oaks exceptionally fantastic and queer in form. In this cemetery ls a monument of Colonel Washington, whose exploits in Jtho-Revolutton are well known; to Hugh Swinton Legare, -one of the ripest scholars South Carolina hos produoed; and in ,a vault repose the remains of Commodore Van derhorst, wbpse coffin, shrouded with the lunion Jack, may be seen through the latticed ?door of-the tomb. 1 Our visit to Charleston came.only too soon :t? an end. We parted regretfully lrom the friends whose hospitality'had been so gener? ous, and with a measure ol' sorrow for the city saddened with so many nfafortunes. We could but recall the days wa en Wv as at the height of its glory-when lt was the centre ola far-ex? tending circle of brilliant homes, and its old mansions echoed to the tread of famous, statesmen and renowned women. *We recall ?the report bf the noted Elkanah Watson, who, just after the revolution, travelled from Provi? dence to Charleston in a buggy, and whose de? scriptions of the towns and cities he visited ?are usually accepted "as trustworthy. The Jwealth and luxury of Charleston surprise^ the ?Rhode Islander, and he speaks of tho aimost "Asiatic splendor" in which the citizens lived. Charleston was the centro of a some? what peculiar civilization, and oae highly fa? vorable to the cultivation ol the-'tew. lt was resorted to in summer as a watering place by the people of the country. The - planters brough: with them wealth and leisure, and these naturally led to luxurious taste and hab? its. We doubt, if any * community of the same number has produced so many men of distinguished merit. Pinckney, Rutledge, Gadsden, Legare are but the leading names of a host of worthies who shed bright lustre on the place. We may hope yet to see the old plan? tations on the Cooper and the Ashley attain a prosperity under the new dispensation as brilliant as that they 'enjoyed under the old; we may trust that the old mansions within .the etty shall renew the social triumphs of their brilliant past; and we may believe that statesmen and men of letters will, not fall to perpetuate that renown the famous city once' so fairly won and so fully enjoyed.

A steamer from Australia brings accounts of a recent scare, caused. by the report that a piratical exp?dition was fitting ont in San Francisco to make a descent on the island.

'?CINCINNATI ITEMS. CtKcrsxATi, July ll. Arrangements wiU.be made to-day to com? plete the tunnel through the hill north of the city. The storm in the county was equally destruc? tive. A falling tree crushed a farm house near Dayton, and killed two persons. The damage is estimated at a million of dollars. TTPp-SETTITi O-BT STEAM. The following ls from a London letter by M. D. Conway in the Cincinnati Commercial: One invention, however, did interest me: it was a, steam type-composing machinei A Mr. Mackie, of Warrington, has patented this affair, and it is now used In' several printing offices, among others that of the Graphic, of London. The Invention consists of two machines. One of these ls a small one which has a key-board, like a plano, of fourteen keys. The- operator sets bet?re him the copy which is to be put in type, and manipulates the keys, whereupon there ls evolved from beneath an interminable strip of poper, two .Inches wide, which is full .of.punctures. Ei-.h one of these punctures corresponds with a letter of the written copy. The whole manuscript having thus been copied in punctures the roll of punctured paper is set in a machine that looks like an iron centre 1 table. 'The top of : he centre-table bas all around on its edge little boxes containing type. The top. of the table then revolves. The pune- i tured paper runs around, and when a certain type neededls.reached, a.lit*,Ie lever falls (by ' reason of the opening allowed one end ol lt j by the hole la tte paper j the other end touch-, .lng and. selecting the letter that is needed. The type so selected falls into the place, and the row of selected type pours ia continuous 8tream'out upon a regular composer's stick,' which, as fast as* it ls filled, Is removed to the form. This may all .seem complex ia the description, but it seem- wonderlaily smooth and simple when seen.

When our commer? cial-ho uses have Babbidge's calculators instead of clerks, and our newspaper offices have re? volving centre-tables instead ol compositors, why should not Mr. Carlyle's dream ol an iron automatic prime minister be realized? The Republicans of 'England will do the handsome thing by any Yankee who will, invent aa automaton. Queen that can sign her name and not have a large family. To returo to Mr. Mackie for a moment.

Release of tho Great Bigamist-Bowen at Home-What lie Says about hit Scat In Congress-He wm Publish a History of nts Case. [Correspondence of the New Tort Herald.] WASHINGTON, . July 8. The day following the incarceration of Bowen in the jail, in this city he commenced, through friends, to obtain petitions in -behalf of the application for pardon, and the papers accumulated from various sources were pre? sented to the President on the occasion of hts last visit to Washington, and by him referred to the attorney-general. On the afternoon of Friday, Jone 30, Mr. Bowen became convinc? ed that If his wife should visit Long Branch' and present to the President certain.facts, it would, In connection with previous represen? tations, have a good effect. Accordingly that evening Mrs. Petlgru-Kibg-Bowen, m com? pany with a friend, left for Long Branch, and arrivedgat the West End Hotel about 12 o'clock. On Saturday she proceeded to the President's cottage and sent her card lo Mrs. Grant, with whom she has .been personally acquainted for a number of years past. The President and bis family were at the time ab? sent from the residence, abd the card was taken to the President, who at once returned in company with Mrs. Grant. The interview with the President was brief, not lasting more than five minutes, but during that time Mrs. Bowen received the assurance that her hus? band'should be pardoned, and that be would telegraph immediately to Attorney-General Akerman to make out the necessary papers. Subsequently Mrs. Bowen saw Mrs. Grant and was Informed that the telegram had been sent. Returning to the hotel, she seat the following telegram to her husband: Loso BRANCH, N. J.. July 1-2.20 P. M. -2b Hon. C. C. Bowen, Washington Jail: Pardoned. S. Mrs. Bowen lett Long Branch that afternoon for Washington, and arriving here Sunday morning at once proceeded to the jail and In? formed her husband of the success ol her visit, to the effect, that, the President had ordered the pardon papers to be made out and forward? ed to Long Branch without delay. The papers were made out on Saturday afternoon last and sent to the State Department ?y Attorney General Akerman. The supposition wasj.hat they would be malled that evening, and on the Btrengthof thls-Bowen's release was predicated by bis friends on the 4th of July. ' Hrs. Bowen visited the State department that day and the day following without receiving any encour? ageront. On Thursday she called at the At? torney-General's office without receiving any Information. Subsequently she ?net Senator Spencer^)! Alabama, who ask ea her li that pardon uml come. Being in for med'that lt had not. Senator Bpencer-replled: "No, abd it Is not going td come." "How do you know that ?" said Mrs. Bowen. Tho Alabama senator, who had just return? ed from a pilgrimage to thc Branch, where he went in hope that he could Induce the Presi? dent to revoke the commission of ex-Senator Warner as collector of the port of Mobile, re? plied, rtI Just.came from Long Branch, and while there I talked with .Tom.Murphy on the subject of your husband's pardon, and Mr. Murphy said he and General Porter had come" to the conclusion that it was not expedient for the President to pardon Mt*. Bowen, and he will not be pardoned." Surprised at* this information, Mrs. Bowen promptly telegraphed to General Porter the substance-of Senator Spencer's remarks, and an hour after was Informed by telegraph,-"Pa-" pers go by mall to-night:" and sure-enough they aid, although they 'did not reach Wash? ington until last night. They were sent to the State Department this morning, and at ten minutes past three a messenger trom the State Department called at tpe ial, bearing a large envelope ("untalnlagthViong-expecred docu? ment. Bowen at the time was conversing with some friends beneath the shade of the Jail yard trees, and one of the party, discovering that the seal of the State Department was upon the envelope, cried out, "Bowen, yonr pardon has arrived at last !" The prisoner's face beamed with joy. While the .party gathered about the messenger, Im? patient to get at the contents, the warden dis? covered that the document was addressed to United States Marshal Sharp, and having no authority to release a prisoner, the messenger, was directed to tr.ke the papers to that official, whose office ls but a few squares distant from the. Jail. At half-past three o'clock Bailiff Grist arrived at the Jail and handed the war? den the'following letter : ; UNITED STAT.* S MAES SAL'S OFFICE, ) .WASHIKOTOS Crrv, .?. c., July 8,1871. J J. C.

The letter having been read and congratula? tions passed, Mr. Bowen repaired to his cell,, where fae packed Up bis few articles of cloth? ing and bade his keepers good-by. He at once proceeded to his residence, on Four? teenth street, near L, and very unexpectedly surprised his wlfev who bad become more and more anxious, as the arrival of the papers had been delayed. Shortly after his return home ?our correspondent called upon the ex-mem er of Congress and was cordially welcomed. The residence of Mr. Bowen-In a fashionable Sart, ol the city-la a neat two story brick welling, which was completed but a lew months ago. The surroundings were cheer? ful; but the parlors had a deserted look, which was explained by Mr. Bowen saying that dur? ing his troubles bis wife had the carpets removed and most of the furniture packed up. In ihe hall were numer? ous boxes marked "C. C. Bowen, M. G., Washington," containing official doc? uments. A few paintings and engravings adorned the walls of the spacious parlors, and, with the exception of halt a dozen chairs, in green reps, there was but little indication ot a home, in reply tc the question whether he had heard of a requisition from Governor Hoffman, .of New York, for his arrest to an? swer the charge of tampering with the records ol the courts of New York', lu procuring what purported to be a divorce from that city "from Francis Hicks Bowen," the released bigamist Bald : "I have not, and do not know how such a story wassel rculated.

I am sure that I eau fully satisfy everybody that the divorce obtained In 1865, in that city, was -perfectly legitimate and In accordance with the application filed." He then went on to explain his grounds for claiming a divorce In New York State, and said that he was a citizen and resident of New York from 1858 to the breaking out ol the war, and that iii I860 he had already consulted a lawyer In New York, with the'view of obtain? ing a divorce. It was necessary that he should visit the South, and believing that there would be no war, he remained In Charleston until he was unable to return North, was conscripted and compelled to serve lu the Southern army. Alter the fall ol Charleston he returned to New York, never having yielded his citizenship in that State, and, having procured the necessary papers, be placed them lu the hands of bis lawyer, with whom he had consulted five vears before. In regard to the divorce, which* was granted June 1,1865, Mr. Bowen contends that In every respect the procurement of the di? vorce was legal, and that subsequently he was assured by parties who knew his former wife that she was dead, in regard to hi? present marriage relations he Bald that Caleb Gushing had kindly volunteered to investigate the law in the case and Bettie every question In? volved. The whole subject would be thoroughly Investigated by him, and he was confident that In the end he could prove that he had been the victim of malicious prosecu? tion. He laid considerable stress on the fact that he had tor nearly five years acted under the conviction that he was divorced from Frances Hicks Bowen, and denied any crimi? nal intent in marrying Mrs. Petlgru King. In Sroof of the esteem .of those who knew him, e-said that the petitions lor his pardon were numerous, and came from various quarters. One was signed by Governor Scott, of South Carolina, and all tho State officers under him; another by the merchants of Charleston, a third by voters of his Congressional district, and another by the leading business men of this city. "Besides," remarked Mr. Bowen, "the President ls- fully satisfied that I acted sincerely, and that T never would have mar? ried Mrs. King had I not believed that I had been lawfully separated from my first wife." Concerning the election of Bowen from the Second ^outh Carolina District, and the al ;teged scheme ot DeLarge, htsopponent, to de? fraud him of his seat In Congress through j false returns made by the county com mis Mon? era of election In that district, Mr.. Bower re? marked that In one county there the turee commissioners- who conspired to defraud him of the election were now servings ont a sen? tence bf two years each In the Penitentiary for perjury. Ihe testimony filed before the committee on elections of the House of Repre? sentatives would fully .substantiate au that he had claimed, while additional evidence was being collected every day to .contest the right of DeLarge to the seat to which he was elected. Mr. Bowen states that, while the prosecution of his case for bigamy, was pend? ing, he was assured If he would agree to di*-' continue contesting the right of DeLarge t?J his seat that proceedings In nlB case would be ' stopped at once. Of this, Bowen says he has the proof, and this waa undoubtedly one of the strongest reasons the President bad for pardoning him to-day. ''Now, that I am, liberated," he said, "I will continue to mass evidence in favor of. my seat in Congress, and I am confident from .the testimony already in and to be produced that-l will be awarded my seat." .... Mrs. Petlgru-King-Bowen here < interrupted the .conversation, in an affectionate** manner, excusing her intrusion by the remark that she was sorry to part from him after her trial, even for so short a time, but business required her tonin down town. j?See," she said to me, "how careworn my poor husband looks. His hair, once glossy black, is now silver gray the result of six long months of persecution." HIB hair is gray, bat not with years; Nor grew it white la a single night, As men's have grown from sudden .ears. Mr. Bowen, states that he wi}l preoare for publication, at his earliest convenience', a com-' plete history of his case, and intends In every respect to conform to the law.- . VICTORIOUS GERMANT. I Tbe Emperor's Policy Free from Plana of Conquest- Xo thought or Heligo? land,. The Cologne Gazette says : "A short time ago, when a parliamentary Interpellation was addressed to the English Ministry, with re? spect to a desire which Germany was supposed to entertain for the possession of Heligoland, a good deal of mirth'was excited in Germany at the unfounded character of Buch , appre? hensions. The German Government ls* cer? tainly far from entertaining any intention of making a 'demand for a little rock In the ocean to which lt-has no legal claim what? ever,, and by doing BO to prejudice our re? lations to the power which we have a right to consider bur natural. olly. Un? fortunately several German'papers'have not shown the same moderation-, and at a time: 'when we ought to praise and thank God for ail we possess and .have lately gained, they begin to cast covetous glances on the proper? ty ot others. They desire Heligoland, 'because we want it'-about the most frivolous and Im? pudent of reasons. The robber, too, demands our parses, 'because he wants them.' The second reason advanced by these thoughtless scribes is, however, still more Impertinent: 'England,' they say, 'has no .right to Heligo? land.' Now, England possesses- Heligoland by virtue or the treaties of 1816, on which th? present condition bf Europe ls essentially based. If we intend to call In question the legality of those arrangements, we ought not to have celebrated any peace festival, but have declared war In permanence." . The Volks-Zeltung Bays : "We perceive with deep pala and indignation that the first days of returning peace are poisoned by an irrita? ble desire to sow new conflicts as the seed ot future wars. Oar German country has. only Just attained a rough external. uclty, without. any thorough'"organization, and busy bands are lound to sow destruction, to foster the dis? cords existing in Austria in the hope'-of bring? ing about the fall of that Empire, and divert? ing the German provinces conaected with lt from their great task of spreading German culture among the Slavonians, we hardly know how to organise the German districts lust regained, so that Alsace and Lorraine may not become a mere thorn in a healthy body, like a conquered piece ?f Poland and Venetia, and already too zealous hands are endeavoring to cast a netbver Heligoland, and to add to the number of enemies which we have made in the last ten years England, which never disturbed our peace but was tor genera? tions our Instructor in culture, Industry, and the legislative development of the political rights of the people. Not war but peace, an honest peace, must be our watchword lor the* future. Not the sword but work ls our calli ng. Not contributions but Industry will, form .our h?pplnees. For the wax now so 'happily ended has lo one year Inflicted wounds which ten years will scarcely heal. We may remark, la passing, that Heligoland is no advantage to England, and, lu case of a war, who is called the sovereign ot the little' self-governing island wodld be a matter of Indifference, for, li the small sp'ace which serves as a promenade for the sea-bathers be not turned into fortifi? cations. Heligoland would. Immediately after the outbreak of a war, fall mto the bands of whoever commanded the sea. It is. therefore, impossible to condemn too severely pious, of conquest like this, which are as foolish as they are criminal." NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. -- r^S ? ' WASHINGTON', July.ll.

Horry. The Horry News has a good account of the cora crop la that eea-slde county: "From every Beetloo ot ?he county we leara ?hat the corn crop ts unusually good, and that the pros? pects are, that aa abundant crop will be made to suppiy our home demands next year. This is a grand march on the road to independence, when we consider that, for many years past, there has been Imported and sold In this coun? ty from 20,000 to 50,000 bushels ol cora in oae year; let our farmers Btrlve to increase the harvest every year, until Horry shall become au Egypt of export, and famous as sellers, and not buyers of corn." The same paper also states that sales-day "was well attended by the citizens from the country, considering the day was red hot, and farmers not quite through laving by their crops. The sheriff sold but little property; the Poor farm was sold, and we think it was a poor sale, and poorer purchase. A tract of 100 acres ol land. brought $10. The Congdon warehouse aod lot sold for $450-other sales were postponed. TIE BOYM WATER AN AEF?ELTNG RIOT THREAT .aZN NEW YORK TO-DAY.
