WASHINGTON, September 28.-Tho Union .marges fraud on ex-Secretary Marian in the matter of 800.000 acres of reserve' ' lands, in Kansas, belonging to tho Chero Vkee Indians, which were sold to tho Con . necticut Emigration Company for $1 per aero, payable in nino yearly instalments. The Cherokees paid $500,000 in gold for these lands, thirty-one years ago, and the Union says they aro now worth $3,000,000 or $4,000,000. The sale was made by Har? lan tho day before be left the Interior De? partment. Gen.

The disturbances charged to have boon made by brigands, near Palermo, in Sicily, are now thought to be the work of a party in favor of repubheaniziug all Italy. They do not amount to much. Berlin has been glorying over tho return of the PrUsSiau armies, tho victorious troops having made a triumphal entity to their capital on Thursday. The steamer Saxonia, which sailed for New York, on tho 20th, takes out $70,000 sterling on American account NEW YORK, September 21.-By tho Java, we learn that a great deal of rain continued to fall in England, and tho still outstand? ing cpopa were sustaining considerable darr age. A French agricultural journal sums up as follows the latest accounts of thc har? vest.: Tn Frunce, there is neither the ordinary ? quantity or quality of wheat, and, but for free importation, a scarcity would succeed the abundance of the past three years. England is also be ginning to complain, not of quantity, but of quality. Russia has bad au excellent wheat har? vest, as well as Spain. Italy does not seem to he much more for? tunate than France. The locusts have ravaged Algeria. As to th?. United States, the deficit is still greater'than in France. Northern Germany appears to be divided. The Southern provinces of Hungary have 'suffered. Letters from Liverpool represent that, notwithstanding the reduction in tho rate of interest by the Bank of England, and the plethora of money that was visible, trade continued in a very dull and unsatis? factory condition, while speculation was altogether lifeless. Banks and bankers had their bands full of cotton, the result et commercial wrecks in May and June, and, ? as all were anxious to sell, ibo market was kept from advancing by the pressure upon it. At Manchester, there was an equally despondent feeling, tho result, in part, of sympathy with Liverpool, and because of the severe individual losses that had been experienced. To tho credit of the city, however, considering the immense amount of liabilities involvod, there were but two or three bad failures during tho entire cri? sis, and these more personal than wide? spread in their destructiveness. How NAPOLEON ACCEPTS THE RETIREMENT or M. DROTJYN DE L'HUVS.-The following is the text of tho letter of tho French Em? peror to his retiring minister: "Dear M. Drouyn do l'Huys: I regret exceedingly that circumstances compel me to accept your request to resign; but while giving up your fnrther assistance, I must give you proof of my regard, and I ap? point you a member of the Privy Council. This new position will have tho benefit that the relatious shall not be broken off which your foresight and your adhesi?n to my person and my dynasty have rendered so valued." IMPORTANT BY THE TELEGRAPH CABLE. We are informed by a'cable despatch that the Empress Eugenie will shortly repair to Rome to condolo with tho Pope, and that the Emperor Napoleon was at Biarritz. This is highly important news for tho Ame? rican public, and we can have no objection to pay a hundred dollars or so for it. T?h.e despatch ought to have been more full, ana told us what timo the Emperor goes to bed and gets up when at Biarritz, as well as specific details about Eugenie's contem? plated journey o? condolence. As to tba Popo, poor old man, he evidently needs consolation under tho present "state of t hings. While tho French troops aro being withdrawn and the temporal power of the papacy is being, buried under tho mighty progress of events, tho gent?o voice of the pious Empress will be heard condoling with his Holiness. Perhaps Eugenie's im? perial sister, of Mexico-Carlotta-will be there, too, not only to offer consolation, but to make an appeal for papal aid against those unruly Catholics who refuse to submit to her reign. What a spectacle for the Catholic world to contemplate and to shed tears over-the venerable Pontiff, with the halo of a thousand years of his? toric splendor and greatness wrapped around him, driven from his patrimony! Tho picture of his fall, with these royal ladies bonding over and tenderly condoling with bim, is a striking one. It will doubt? less excite profound sympathy throughout the Catholic world, but that will bo all; no band can ?ave bim from his fate. [Kew York Herald. Southerner? Settling In New York. Tho New York Herald says that a large number of Southerners havo made Now York their homo. It is estimated that nearly 20,000 Southern boru whites, of both sexes, havo settled permanently in that city since tho conclusion of tho war. The Herald says that among so nia..y settlors from n. section of thc country always fruitful in great minds, it is not strange ther^ should bc some men of intellect and power. It gives a number of sketches of most prominent settlers from tho South, from which wo extract tho following: PROFESSOR ALEXANDER DIMITRY. This venerable gentleman, one of tho most learned and distinguished of South? ern scholars and publicists, is a native of New Orleans. He was educated at tho University of Georgetown, D. C. Return? ing to Louisiana after bis graduation, ho founded the New Orleans Jive, being tho first Louisianian that ever edited a news? paper in the English language. In 1839, Mr. Dimitry w.-.s appointed by President Yan Euren, under ttie treaty with Mexico, Secretary of the Mixed Board of Commis? sioners to adjust claims of citizens of tho United States against Mexico. But ho had been engaged in this service only a short time, when ho was appointed by the Lou? isiana' Legislature President of Franklin College, one of thc three institutions en? dowed by tho State. In 1813, tho State of Louisiana reformed its Constitution, mak? ing it compulsory on tho Legislature to Erovidu for the support of public schools y direct taxation. Professor Dimitry wrote the report of the joint committee of thirteen appointed by tho next Legislature, to organize the new system, which was adopted, and he was elected by that body Superintendent of Public Educat iou against Judge Eullard, then late Chief Justice. During the occupancy of this position. Professor Dimitry was twice nominated for Congress hy the Democracy, but declined, believing that he could better servo tho State as ? director of her schools. In 1854, he wvs invited bv the late William L. Marcy, Secretary of State, to take chargo of the foreign correspondence and transla? tion in thc State Department. He accepted and remained .there, to the incalculable value of the country uutil 1868, when he was appoiuted Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Central America, to j settle the transit question with Nicaragua and to procure from Costa Rica a mixed j convention to settle the claims of American citizens against said State, both of which questions be satisfactorily adjusted. Ho returned to the Soutb after tuc war had commenced, and during its continuance he was Chief of the Finance Bureau of tho Confederate Post O?ice Department. Pro? fessor Dimitry is learned m every branch of science and ethics. He is undoubtedly the best linguist in the country, and is thoroughly conversant with ancient Greek, Latin, Sansorit, Gttlic, Anglo-Saxon and German; less intimately so with tho He? brew and Persic languages. He speaks with fluency English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and modern Greek. He is deeply read in tho politics, history and laws of the European Slates, and is au elegant classical scholar. His memory is extraordinary-in ?hort, he is a complote "walking encyclopedia." Thia remarkable man was created LL.D. by his Alma Mater, which title wa? also conferred by Jackson College, Louisiana. A. J. REQUIER, OF ALABAMA. Our conimuuity is fortunate in the acces? sion of this gifted son of the South. Dis? tinguished as a jurist, a poet and an orator, he is known throughout the country. He is a native of Charleston, S. C., where he studied law arni made his first appearance in public lite. At the age bf fifteen, he wrote and published a blank verse play, entitled "The Spanish Exile," and, shortly after, a drama, "'Marco Bozarris," which was played in many of the leading thea? tres of the United States, and a local novel ,called "The Old Sanctuary." His subse? quent literary efforts have been numerous. Many of his exquisite poems have appeared from time to time in tho newspapers, but have not, we believe, been collected in a I book form. His "Ode to Shakspeare" was reproduced and warmly commended in England, and great interest was excited by his "Crystaline," an epic argument, maintaining tho Divine Personality, on purely rational grounds, against thc Pan? theistic theory. Mr. Kequier moved to Mobile in 1830, and was shortly afterwards appointed District Attorney of the United States, which function he exercised up to tho breaking out of the war, having, in the meanwhile, become p^niiiucnt by his official action and arguments in suppres? sion of the Cuban and Nicaraguan expedi? tions projected from tho Gulf. He conti? nued in the position during tho Confede? rate regime, but was pardoned by thc Pre? sident at its close. DR. ROBERT R. GIBBES. This gentleman has lately settled in Nnw York. Ile is a graduate ot the Charleston College, in his native State, and of tho "Mother of American Medical Schools," in the University of Pennsylvania. During the war, his surgical skill was in constant practice lb- bas extended his practice, also, in the great hospitals of the Old World. Though comparatively joting, Dr. Gibbes brings to the aid of science a mind bold and original, seeking into the depths for the causes of all things, and devoted with a rare earnestness to the causo of medical progress. GENERAL ROGER A. PRYOR. The career of this redoubtable Confede? rate brigadier is pretty well known to tho country in the Several roles ot lawyer, editor, politician and duelist. He has been editor of the Washington Union, a mem? ber of Congress from Virginia for two terms, and Special Commissioner of the United States to Greece. Jeff. Davis made him one of his brigadier-generals during the war, but quarreling with bis imperious chief. Pryor at once resigned and re-en? tered the army as a private. While on I picket duty, one day, he endeavored to effect an exchange of newspapers with a Union picket, and waa captured. He was sent North, and resided for 'awhile in Fort Lafayette. President Lincoln released him i before tho close of the war, hut ho made no figure afterwards. THE NATIONAL FINANCES.-Tho disburse? ments of the Treasury, on account of the War, Na*'v and Interior Departments, in the week ?.liding the 15th. were as follows: War Department, $504,452; Navy Depart? ment, $23-1,898; Interior Department, $474, 292, Total, expended, $1,273,642. The Treasury received from the printing division of the Treasury during tue .?reek fractional currency ?0 tho amount of $348, 50(1. Tho amount of fractional currency shipped to national banks was $308,800, and tim amount redeemed was $307,900. National bank currency was issued dur? ing the week amounting to $671,470, mak? ing tho total sum now in circulation $291, 851,315, for which the Government holds securities to tho amount of $331,678,500. The amount of available funds in tho cash vaults of the Treasury, at the close of business i>n Saturday, according to tho financial r< port of the Treasurer for the week ending on tlfe 15th instant, was as follows: United Stab s legal tender notes, $9,G72,!)U0; national bank nob s, $21 741; fractional currency, *$351,157; gold, $3:12, 659; silver, $2,5G0;" coin, $1,000; three cent j coin, $930;pennies, $460. Total, 110.382,507. Dissolution of th? Kingdom of" Han? over. On tho first of September, a deputation from tho Kingdom of Hanover waited upon the King of Prussia in Berlin, and presented him an address, appealing to j him not to extinguish the royal house of Hanover. The address concludes as fol-1 i0-o; It cannot bo agreeable to your Majesty to dethrone a Prince whose dynasty bas been connected witb the country for nearly a thousand years, and who equally wears his crown by tho Grace of God-to de? throne him simply because, taking a dif? ferent view of tho Federal law, up to that time valid, to tho view entertained by your Majesty's advisers, bo considered himself legally prevented from unhesitatingly adopting your Majcsty'8 German policy, and thus by an unfortunate concatenation of circumstances was ultimately forced to employ his army against your Majesty's troops, whom they had previously never opposed, but by whoso side they had often victoriously fought in joyful brotherhood of arms. Your Majesty, tho fate of this Prinoc, nearly related to your illustrious house, has, by tko inscrutable will of God, been Elated in your Majesty's bands. At the ier of King Ernest Augustus, your Ma? jesty's lamented royal brother once pro? mised to be in him a faithful support. We trust your Majesty will redeem this pro? mise of your royal predecessor, and the irrevocable conquest of many thousands of truo and thankful hearts will then offer to your Majesty far moro imperishable laurels than tho subjection of a weak eno my can afford. With deepest respect, &c.. King William's reply is interesting as a resume of tho reasons which controlled his action in making war, and which impel him to dethrone the King of Hanover. It is as follows: I am glad to seo) you hero, gentlemen, for I can but respect and honor tho feeling with which German men faithfully adhere to the dynasty whose connection with them has lasted for centuries and has ripened the fruits of mutual attachment and devo? tion. I should esteem the Hanoverians j lees if they had taken no step evidencing I their warm adherence to their native ruling house, to which I am nearly related. I am induced thereby to explain to you at length tho reasons which have caused me, greatly against my original intention, and after repeated strong contests with my de? sire, to permit the independence of my former allies in the Germanic Confedera? tion to continue to have recourse to tho annexation already in process of execution, and, therefore, not to be recalled. At the time I just entered upon my pre? sent position, I stated that the intentions 1 entertained for the benefit of Prussia and of Germany were based upon effecting none other than moral conquests. This expression has been laughed at and do? ri ded, even scoffed at in many quarters, and yet I give you now the firm assurance that my plans havo never geno beyond this object, and that when as aman seventy years of age I pass to conquests effected by force, I do this only constrained by tho force of circumstances, by tho incessant attacks of my pretended Federal allies, and by duty towards that Prussia which bas been entrusted to my charge. Cotton. Dr. Wight has published a book, in New York, entitled "Cotton Cultivation-Ma? dras rs. America," which gives circum? stantial details of the experiments in cot? ton culture, made in India, and assigning reasons for their failure. The following are extracts from tho book: India, Dr. Wight says, is not too hot for our Southern cotton plant, since, in the Carnatic, it had borne unharmed the hot winds of May and June. But, on thc other hand, it was ascertained that the cultivat? ing season in India is too cold, i. e. thc cli? mate of tho Carnatic, during tho cold months, which formed tho cotton-growing season in India, is actually colder than the summer in Mississippi. In America, cot? ton is cultivated from April to November; in India, from September to April. It well known that the grea| advantage, for cotton-growing, our climate has over all others in the world, is tho equable tem? perature during a long summer. As regards tho superiority of American cotton to Indian. Dr. Wight* reported that the American cotton was about twenty per cont, more valuable than the Indian, of | nearly as 5d. is to 3.jd. Again, the Ameri? can seed produced from 7$ to 9 per cent, more cotton wool than the Indian seed; in other words, IOU pounds of American seed yielded from 28$ pounds to 3d pounds of clear cotton wool, while 100 pounds of In? dian send only : ielded about 21 pounds of clear cotton wool. Our seed, it would appear, is not found to succeed well in tho East. In Southern India, it failed on account of thc cold nights which prevail after a steady mon? soon. If there were occasional showers of rain after tho 1st of February, when tho weather becomes warm, and if the ravages of insects could be also avoided, then the American cotton would succeed admirably ; Lr.t, in the absoneo of rain at that season, Mr. Finnie (an extensive Indian cotton grower, who is here quoted,) says he is afraid that it never will become the staple of India. Nor did no think the American I cotton gin would ever he adapted to tho j natives. This is cheering nows to our poor plant I era, who need something to encourage j them, in tho face of liad labor and three I cents-a-pound internal revenue cotton tax. I COMMKKClAli AM? KI.\AM IAI,.
