Edmond? haws performed their mission. T met with a very favorable recepte They claim to have received from President ? promise that in his 1 message to Congress, lie will rec mend an appropriation to repair levees*. to arrest fifty ot more of the most prominent citizens and pot them tinder guard. I had arrested about forty, wheo he sent for me and said I there was no tim? to be lost-the I town must be burned ; lie was sorry I for it on account of the women and children, bat it must lie done to cheek the burning of private property in Virginia, and they had none to blame for it but Gen. Hunter, and their own press for extolling such fiendish sets of vandalism. He then ordered me to fire tho town, and showed ina Gen. Early's order to that effect. Deeply regretting that such a disagreeable task should fall upon I me, I had only to obey. I then di? rected my men to fire the town, hut bc ki nd to the wonien and children, and lend" all the assistance in their power. , While I could remain in the str?eis; I did nothing but assist the people, and see that no excesses were committed. Several times I received peremptory orders to make a thorough work of. it, and was especially di? rected to destroy all fine dwellings. When the town vas no longer ten? able, I took two men with me to fire j a fine brick dwelling, beautifully situated on sn eminence North-west of the town. Dismounting, I went in and told the lady who came to the door that I was there to perform the unpleasant duty of burning her house, which I much regretted; that we were obliged to resort to such ex? treme measures in order to prevent or check the terrible devastation committed by such men as Gen. Hunter. I told her that thc people of that town had seen us twice before^ and that all had spoken in the high? est terms of our behavior, saying that our soldiers behaved better than their own. Sho was weepinpr, evi I dently much distressed, but she ac? knowledged tho justice of my re? marks, and declared that she blamed none but tho administration for al? lowing such ho Tibie acts of cruelty to go unpunished. She was in deep distress and shed many bitter tears: did not beg me to spare her house only asked time to remove some arti oles of value, or clothing. This wat readily granted. Breakfast was or the table, and she asked me to eal something while she was getting hei things together. Being hungry, ] accepted the invitation, and drank t glass of wine before sitting down I delayed as much as possible, ii order to afford lier more time, anc when I arose from the table I had ? mind to disobey orders in regard ix this house. She then came in anc entered into conversation. J askec her the name of her husband. Sh? replied: "Col. Boyd, of the Union armv." "What! Col. Boyd, of the 1st. Nev York Cavalry ?* ' "The same, sir." "Then, madam, your house sha] not be destroyed." I now understand why she had no pleaded for it. The reader will recol lect that this officer has been airead; mentioned as operating in the valley He had ever been kind and lenient t the citizens, men, women and chi'] dren, warring only against men ii arms. The fact of her being the wif of Col. Boyd decided me at once, told her that I knew her husband i and had fought against him for tw ?cars in tho Valley of Virginia; tbs e gained a reputation among th citizens for kindness and gentleman ly conduct; that wh?o we were thet for the purpose of punishing vunda ism, we were ready and anxious t repay acts of kindness done to on ? -opie, who, when unprotected, ha JU exposed, by the fortunes of wa: to the mercy and harsh treatment ?. our foes. ? told her that her bout should not bc burned, blame for who would, and that I would leave guard for her protection until a were gone. She seemed to be con pletely overwhelmed, as though si did not comprehend what I said; bi when I assured her that neither In house nor anything that belonged t her should be molested, her gratitm knew no bounds. FINANCIAL.- The Washington St< I says: j In cons?quence? of the amoiuluien : made to the tax laws by Congres ! and which were unnecessarily defern I until the last days of the session, tl j sixty millions due to the Governme i iroin the people on account of the i j come tax, could not this year be c< j lected as heretofore in July, wh< I business is dull, and the drain frc ! circulation but little felt; but w I necessarily deferred until Septemlx i when the active fall trade usually Hi ; in. The anxiety felt iu commerc ' circles as to the embarrassment like to result from this cause, has been : : relieved by the oficial annoum-eine of Secretar; McC?Jloch, that after t 26th inst, all temporary deposits tho Treasury except the clean house certificates will cease to bi interest. The effect of this decisi j will be that the deposits, whi ' amount to sixty-nine millions, v I be withdrawn liefere the close of t month. Tho ten millions of inter ! due on the first series of seven-thirt i is now being disbursed, which w ! the 870,000,000 falling due on 1 ; 27th inst., will make $80,000,000 p ! able out of the Treasury, to offset ; $60,000,000 oi income tax, paya ; into the Treasury, thus adding $2 j 000,000 to our circulation foi bt ness purposes. The calm and disinterested Opi m?relatton ^^th^^f?natL?sm^ radical Congress, are important as prefiguring the opinions that all. in? telligent persons in America will come to entertain when unreasoning pas? sion shall subside and men are brought to their sober senses. It is not often that so much truth and good sense are compressed into so few words as the following from the Load u Post, of the. 7th of August Says ula PotL ? It certainly does seem strange that any faction, however extreme its views, should still exist in the United States, which can persist in a policy, which, if steadily pursued, would in? evitably bring about another civil war. The great object with which, as we were told, the North engaged in a costly war against the Sovfthern States, was to prevent them seceding from the Union. It was absolutely essential that the republic should be one and indivisible. This unity, it was insisted, was necessary for its greatness and its prosperity; and to maintain it, no sacrifices were consi? dered too great. Now, however, that the war is at an end, it is tboso who are most bitter in their hostility to the South who strive to prevent this much-desired unity becoming an ac- ; eomplished fact. It is fortunate, under such circumstances, that thc republic has for its Chief Magistrate such a man as Andrew Johnson. The honesty with which he has endeavor? ed to reconcile the differences of the antagonistic States, and the sound statesmanship he has shown in his efforts to reconstruct tho Union on tho only possible sound basis-name? ly, tho equal recognition of the rights of all its citizens-have secured for him the respect of every true friend of that great republic. Against the narrow-minded prejudices of those whom, in tho first flush of victory, the Republican party sent to Con gross, he can do little more than pro? test. That protest may or may not be availing; but such us it is, he deems it his duty to make it-not doubting, however, that the moral support accorded to him by the bulk of his fellow-citizens will give to it an efficacy which no hostile majorities in Congress can entirely destroy. A French journal, La Liberte, of August 8, thus speaks of President Johnson : "A singular circumstance! This 1 President, whose entrance on power the day after a horrible crime seemed to announce a policy of exclusion in the very man who, in taking the reins of Government, loudly mani? fested the most violent sentiments and the most menacing intentions, suddenly became the most devoted agent of reconciliation between the two noble fragments of the American Union, and of the restoration of the rights of the vanquished. This fact, placed by the side of the general dis? armament, of the scene of generals nnd soldiers going peaceably to re? sume their former occupations, of liberty subsisting even during the war itself-does not this fact charac? terize American society? What au admirable spectacle is that of this functionary arriving at power with hatred in his heart and threats in his mouth, but soon listening with re? spect to the voice of public opinion as manifested by meetings or by the journals, and giving to the w ishes of I the country precedence over his own ; preferring the sentiments of thc na ; tion to those of a personal nature! It is in this way that liberty modifies profoundly the conditions of author ity." <<a( THE RKTX'BKTKG TIDE OP SPECIE. - The financial items by tho Atlantic cable which we publish to-day are of the highest importance. First, it appears, that even in Paris, there has sprung up a surprising rush for Ame? rican five-twenties and seven-thirties; and next, that the steamer Scotia, which left Liverpool yesterday, is bringing over a shipment of ?110, 000 in British gold, or over $000,000, to this conntry. Wo had supposed that the late arrival of a similar ship? ment was a sporadic case, an experi? mental venture, merely as a specu? lation. But from this second ship I ment, and this simultaneous demand 1 for our Government securities in I Paris, we may fairly infer that I larger causes are at work on ! the other side than mero excep j tional ventures by daring speculators. ! We can hardly avoid the conclusion j that fears of a general European war ! still exist, even in Paris, uotwith I standing the peace between Austria, Prussia and Italy, and Napoleon's re? peated assurances that the empire is at peace; and that, accordingly, hold? ers of money on tho continent are turning to the United States, as the safest country for the security of their investments. If this is the true view of the case, then Mr. Secretory Mc? culloch may look forward hopefully to an early appreciation of his green? backs to the gold standard; and we I may also prepare for the possible i contingency of a general European t convulsion, financial and political.

Unc?er this ? provision, negro voters are v- scarce 1 as hen's teeth, and thus tho question ! is pra- tically gotten rid of. lt stamps I the negro as an inferior, and yet in ! volves no hardships ag mst which 1 negrophilists make a clamor. f&rCM-A W*W Political Vaviy. There has been in session, for the last day or two, at Baltimore, a work? ingmen's assemblage, under the name and style of "The National Labor Convention." It is a political organ? ization, having for its immediate ob? ject the agitation of the eight hour day's labor question, and proposing that, "so far as political action is con? cerned, each locality should bo go? verned by its own policy, whether (in our political elections) to run an independent ticket of workingmen, or to use political parties already ex? isting; but at all events, to cast no vote except for meu pledged to the interests of labor." Another resolu? tion of the convention proposes that that league of workingmen shall de? mand that "if convict labor cannot be entirely abolished, the same com? pensation shall be demanded by the United States nud tho respective States of all contractors securing cou- j viet labor as that paid in the work? shops outside of the prisons." Vari? ous reforms in the interests of labor were to be proposed, and they are to be agitated by a new political party, formed of the leagues of all the work? ing classes throughout the United States. Here, indeed, are the elements for ! a tremendous political organization for good or evil; and from these pro- j ceedings at Baltimore, it is an organ ization which seems to be already iu ? practical operation. A political party embracing all the workingmen of thc | country, on the platform of tho into- i rests of labor, is suggestive at once of a political levolution in the politics and leading political questions of the day, Stato and national. The move? ment, however, is not only suggestive of immense power in our political affairs, but of immense mischief, if it should fall under the control of un scrupulous politicians. Wo have ! always held that labor should be : fairly rewarded, but that tho laws be tween capital and labor, supply and demand, should bo mainly left, like the general laws of trade, to regulate themselves. But if the workingmen choose to take tho field as a political party, we may look-good or evil for a political revolution, and hence we may expect from this Baltimore convention the beginning of a shak? ing up of our political parties which will soon bring about some vny ex truordinary results. [Neut Yaric Herald. j THE NEEDLE-GUN CHECK-MATED. ! John Mitchell writes from Paris to ! the New York News: "The needle-gun has met its match-a bullet-proof clothing for soldiers. At the Belgian Tir Nation? al, or Volunteer Shooting Ground, the thing was exhibited for tli? first time by its inventor, a M. Bernard, and in the most satisfactory manner, namely: By standing fire himself at 100 yards, having previously shown that he wore nothing under Iiis cloak but a shirt und vest. A conical bul? let struck him in the breast; it llat tened itself and fell down at his feet; he pickexl it up and showed it to the spectators. But he would suffer nobody to examine the texture of his ! new cloth, not having yet secured his patent. His head and face were covered with a steel cap: and the ? I eloak reached to the ground. Such is the story that conies to ns in Bel- 1 gian newspapers." RETURN OF THE EMIGRANTS TO TEE LAND. -The Cork Examiner states j that within a short period four ves sels which run between Queenstown and New York have brought back j about 200 passengers each, the mu- j jori ty of whom were Irish. The Irish "immigration" is chiefly arti- j sans of the lower grades and laborers , who left Ireland lately, and who have not succeeded in finding in America I the well-paid employment they ex j pected. They state that if wages arc I higher in tho United States, tin price of provisions has much in- i creased as compared with the period I preceding the civil war, and that I their position would consequently not have been improved by remaining there. Emigrants are. still leaving i Cork, however, in considerable mun- ! hers. j "CONTEMPLATED ATTACK." The I Washington Union, ot Saturday: ' evening, contains the following: ; i The rumored raid did not conic off ! "All the negroes of this city who ' ? have lire-arms in their possession are j kuown to have under contemplation i an attack upon the conservative I Union meeting to be held this even j ing. Our information is direct and j i positive. Unless preparations are i made at once for a strong police or I ganization, and a military force , ready to back them, wo may have ; another New Orleans riot to gladden tho hearts of the radicals, and tin streets of our city flow with blood. This party are beni on a war of races, and nowhere have they so industri? ously inflamed the blacks as in this city." A plain-spoken Western preacher i delivered the following from his ! desk: "I would announce to the con I gregation that, probably by mistake, there was left at this meeting-house, this morning, a small cotton um? brella, much damaged by ti; ie and ! wear, and exceedingly pale in color. I in tho place whereof was taken a Ivery large silk umbrella, and of great bounty. Blunders of this sort, i brethren ami sisters, are getting a little too common." Tue New tprl lu?tes \?*y wisely says that the> best thing taut could happen to the negro lace, now that they aro possessed of their freedom and all their eivfl rights, would be, so far as national polit?csip-econeern ed, to cease altogether being an ex? citing element, and, so for as they themselves aro c?^cern?rf, to B?3I tiously give their attention to educa? tion, the acquisition of property and moral and social improvement. lu these directions, they will find abon? dant and profitable ground of activity for some time to come. NEGRO DEMONSTRATION AT GRIFFIN, GA.-The Southern Watchman, of last Wednesday, says: "The fruits of the infamous and revolutionary doctrines weekly taught by that malignant sheet, the Griffin Union, are cropping out in that city. One day last week, a company of negroes, fully armed, equipped and officered, appeared on the street?, and quite an excitement was caused, but finally the Federal commander of the post dispersed them, and subsequently ordered that no militar} organizations should be allowed." SPEAKER COLFAX'S SLANDER.-In reference to the allegation of Mr. Speaker Colfax, made in a political harangue in Indiana, that he had lately visited Arlington, "and heard that Mrs. Lee had been there, and had said that when she got possession of the place, not a ranked bone should stay in the ground," the Alex? andria Gazette says that Mrs. Lee bas not buen in Arlington siupe the war. The Aroostook (Maine) Time? says: "The hay crop is so very heavy in this section, that it is with difficulty that the farmers can lincT^room iv their barns for stowing it away. Crops of all kinds are remarkably good thif season. Wheat looks better than il has for years. We do not hear thal it is affected by tho weevil."

What their object hi doing this was, and why a copy ot the letter was sen t to Columbia and published, I lear? for a discerning public to conjocture. I am sorry my intentions wer? HO mis? construed, particularly by those whom T had always esteemed and respected. My sole object was to bring about uniformity of rates, by which all should be governed; thereby making thc business more agree? able to us all. This was particularly de? sirable, and I have advocated it for t<>n year* or more. Letters of the vory same sort are written almost daily, and it is strange that it was not appreciated, instead of calling forth such strange comment?. f did not aay that these gentlemen had over insured any cotton at the rates named -only had offered to do so. I would say more, but deem it quite unnecessary n is folly to try and make it appear that I in? tended to misrepresent these agent?. I feel myself that I am misrepresented. 1 regret exceedingly the necessity which compels me b> writ? this communication, and I am truly sorry that the gentlemen who represent oilier insurance companies should have given cause for this.
