Far? ragut will soon sail Eastward again. Last evening, Lord Stanley, Sec? retary of Foreign Affairs, made an important statement, in answer to a question asking for information HeBaid he had already sent a com? munication to the United States, on the matter of naturalization, the sub? stance of which was that the British Ministry was ready to accept the American views on the question; ho therefore thought a misunderstand? ing between the two nations was impossible. Stanley also stated that he bad deolined to make a treaty at present, as .the Koyal Commission are still considering the general sub? ject, and for the additional reason that time will not permit the passage of a bill at the present session of Parliament._ .

SAVANNAH, July 17.-Tho weather is very hot, and several cases of sun? stroke have occurred-only two fatal. Crop reports are favorable in South? western aud middlo Georgia. Flori? da reports are very depressing, on account of worms. sftThis is the hottest day ever known in Montgomery-thermometer at one time at 104. One caso of sun-stroke about 4 o'clock. GALVESTON, Texas, July 17.-On the evening of the 15th, a riot com? menced at Millican, on the Central Railroad. A mob of about twenty five negroes, led by a white school? teacher, and a negro preacher uamed Brooks, attempted to hang n man named William Haliday. Tho white citizens prevented the execution, and, headed by the Sheriff and a Bureau agent, attempted to suppress the mob, which resulted iu the death of ten or twelve negroes. Ou the 16th, the numbers increased on both sides. Skirmishing occurred during the day, and the casualties are esti? mated at twenty-five. A small body of troops arrived late last night, and dispersed the rioters, killing throe negroes. Tho latter, numbering 300 to 500, had fortified themselves three miles from Millican, and refused to lay down their arms till tho troops dispersed them. The entiro number killed, amounts to fifty or sixty. The difficulty is said to aroso from a suspicion that a negro member of tho loyal league had been hung, but who has boon found. WASHINGTON, July 17.-lu the Senate, last night, Senator Hen? dricks endeavored to recall the bill from the House which removes poli? tical disabilities from radical mem? bers of the Georgia Legislature. He spoke very bitterly of such partizau legislation. In tho House, to-day, Dawes pre? sented the credentials of Kellogg, Pierce and Buckley, claiming seat3 as Representatives from Alabama, and asked reference to the Commit? tee on Elections. Brooks inquired whether it would not bo proper for the committee to inquiro whether these gentlemen were elected at a one-sided election. Dawe* said tho committeo would inquiro faithfully as to any matter oommitted to them. They simply made an examination of those credentials, to ascertain if they wero correct, and whether they presented a prima facio case. The credentials were referred to the Com? mittee on Elections. The creden? tials of the Louisiana Representa? tives were referred to the Election Committee. lu tho Senate, Johu A. Abbott and John Pool, Senators from North Carolina, and John S. Harris and William Pitt Kellogg, from Louisi? ana, wero scated. A bill authorizing a temporary three per cont, loan in liquidation of compound interest notes, passed. Hon.

In canvassing the question with the delegates to the Convention, since the nomination was made, the fol? lowing States aro put down as sure for Seymour and Blair: Connecticut, 6; New York, 33; New Jersey, 7; Pennsylvania, 26; Ohio, 21; Indiana, 13; Oregon, 3; Nevada, 3; California, 5; Delaware, 3; Kentucky, ll; Missouri, ll; Kan? sas, 3; Wisconsin, 8; Maryland, 7. Total, 160. One hundred and fifty-nine votes, says the World, are all that is neces? sary for election, and, in the above tables, there aro 160 electoral votes, without counting ono of the South? ern States eugaged in tho rebellion. In the li?t of States given, every one, save threo, in which a State election has been held in the last eighteen months, has gone Democratic. In all, the local elections have exhibited great Democratic gains, sufficient to insure the States for the Democracy this fall. Wo have not counted Illi? nois in tho list, but the delegates to tho Convention declared that there was no doubt but Pendleton could carry that State. If it would be certain for Pendleton, then it eau be safely counted for Seymour and Blair. In addition to this, the States of Alabama, Georgia and Mis? sissippi aro certain to give a Demo? cratic majority, with auy fair chance for voting. This will give twenty four more electoral votes, and swell the Democratic column to 184. But tho Republicans aro laboring to ex? clude the votes of tho States of Vir? ginia, Texas and Mississippi, by le? gislation in Congress. If the electoral votes of these States aro not counted, then there will bo in the electoral collego 294 votes, and 148 will bo all that will bo necessary to elect. The Democracy can then lose Ohio, and still secure a majority of the electoral college, without counting any from the South; or, by carrying Ohio, they can loso Missouri, Wisconsin and Kausas, and still elect their ticket, without receiving a vote from tho South. There is, therefore, every reason for encouragement to the Democracy; and tho election of Seymour and Blair may bo put down as a certainty. TUE SOUTHERN VOTES Binn.-The New York Journal of Commerce, with referenco to thc bill which has just passed Congress, relative to votes of tho Southern States in the Presiden? tial election, says: It is an undisguised political de? vice, designed to make sure tho elec? tion of Grant and Culfax by throw? ing out of the electoral collego every Southern Democratic. State. Wo doubt whether any honorable niau of either party can bo found to apolo? gize for or extenuate this scheine. If realized, it may achieve the suc coss of Grant and Colfax, but it will forever redound to tho disgraso of tho party which permitted so fla? grant a wrong to bo done. If Con? gress should refuse to admit South? ern electoral votes, on tho plea that tho South is still rebellions and not to bo trusted with political rights, wo might smile at tho stupidity of such a statement and pity tho Congress that knew no bettor. But to do it, openly and avowedly, (or the same as avowedly,) with tho object of de? feating tho nominees, this is a depth of shamo, indeed, for tho legislation of this country to be dragged into. A woman in Houston, Texas, has died of tho disgusting habit of "dip? ping" snuff. The Blue ll lil gc Railroad. I MB. EDITOR: Your usual kindness in publishing whatever will forward the interests of the Blue Ridge Rail? road, induces me again to call your attention to this subject Hereto? fore, the friends of this enterprise have looked mainly to its great Western connections for its principal business and income; not relying, to any great extent, upon local popula? tion or local trade. But the increas? ing interest now felt and manifested in the development of the mineral and agricultural resources of our mountain country, is indicative of what the future of this part of our country will be. I send you two most interesting letters on this subject, and will fol? low it up, with other short commu? nications ou the climate, mineral, agricultural and manufacturing re? sources of Anderson and Fickens Districts, and Rabun County, Geor? gia, demonstrating the great necessi? ty for the immediate completion of this railroad. . J. W. HARRISON, President Blue Bridge Railroad. ANDERSON, Juno 17, 1868. WALHALLA, S. C., May 12. 1868. Gen. J. W. Harrison, President vf the Blue Ridije Railroad. DEAR SIH: While advocating fie completion of the railroad heneo tc Knoxville, Tenn., I feel assured you will not lose sight of tho value of thc different metallic belts, that will bt traversed in its North-west course Having bestowed much attontior upon tho mineral belts of this coun try, the practical developments made authorize mo to offer to you th? assurance that they aro both rici aud extensive. Iron and iron ore are abundant; but, unless a chea] supply of coal can bo obtained alouj the line of rond, cannot be worke( advantageously. Hence, wo are no able to reap auy bouetit from thes vast beds, although lime abounds ii their vicinity, until a carboniferou formation along the Blue Bidg Road can bo reached. The oxistouc of copper in this part of tho State as well as in the adjoining Countie of North Carolina, has been we ascertained. Tho veins arc numci OU9, well defined, nnd explored to depth of several hundred feet. War of fuel, prevented their being active ly worked; for the crude ores mus be Bmelted, ere tho regulus can I shipped. Tho transportation ovt the mountain roads, from the mi m to the railroad nt Walhalla, woul prove more expensive than from thi point to the smelting works i Baltimore. I have no expectatic of finding coal in this section, bi West of the Blue Ridge I have ol served that tho primary formation frequently overlaid by tho second ry; and tho indications aro, that tl railroad may be* instrumental : opening that valuable system. Oi mining interest would thou becou paramount to any other; while tl carrying of ores and coal, in sean of each other, would bo a cousidei bio item in the revenue of the ron The discoveries and inventions of t day, would placo another very bea incomo within reach of the rnilro eompauy, by their carrying the go ores, or rather the auriferous quart to points at which the new proc< of desulphurizing them, and th liberating the minute particles gold, is in operation. Tho aurif?re quartz, along the lino of road, is : exhaustible; and much will find way North, when you consider tl shipments already made have yield upward of $500 per tou, while I reduction at tho mines amounted only seventy-five dollars per t< Our mountain ronds are so diffic that tho transportation of engin stumping works, ?fcc, is almost i possible; and thus tho full devel ment of all tho mines, in this sect: of country, is dependent upou completion of the railroad. Whito County, Georgia, a min eompauy aro now preparing a si ment of ten tons of this quartz Now York, whence they will rec< somo twenty tons of machine Walhalla is their nearest point railroad; and I am convinced 1 the samo belts, whence that qui is obtained, abound in the Coun of tho throe States, through wi this road will pass. I have va freo to invite your attention bri to a few of tho minerals which, \ a railroad passing through tl belts, will attract Northern eu prise, sustain tho road, and aid in recuperation of tho country. I c< speak to you of tho Galena belt, passes through tho country, yield at a depth of 200 feet, an on eighty per cent, lead, and ono cont, silver, had it an imp?t bearing upon the incomo of road. Yet, I must not forgo allude lo tho immense beds manguuese, of chronium, so n moro deserving of attention, v tho Pennsylvania beds display dent symptoms of exhaustion, ar an immense deposit of silicate, w $200 to $300 a ton, at tho Si Porcolain works, but now of no i for want of transportation. I trust you will pardon these c remarks, and charge them tc fact that, in tho construction of railroad alone, I can per?oive turn to prosperity. With much esteem, H. W. K?HTMAN . THE DUTY OF THE SOUTHERN PEO? PLE.-The people of Virginia, and, indeed, of the whole South, owe it to the D?mocratie party of the North to do all that ia in their power to give success to tho ticket now before the country, and tc abstain from every net and word that can in any manner tend to jeopard that succ?s*. Thia is no time for carping and ob? jecting, and no time for raising dead issues or reviving old and exploded ideas. The platform is os good a one and as strong a one as could have been constructed. It bravely under? takes to carry as much as it can bear. Let us beware how we of the South And fault with it, or attempt to crowd upon it what may weaken it. "We must take it and tho candidates that are running upon it. just as they aro. Tho cry has already been raised at tho North, that it is a rebel ticket and a rebel'platform. Let us prove by our moderation and prudence that this cry is false and slanderous, and that all that we are striving for, is admission to tho Union undor tho Constitution, nnd on tho basis laid down by that great and pntriotic Northoru party that gave us this platform and these caudidatos. That Southern man who shall now, by in? temperance of conduct or language, injure the great cause of Democratic success, Southern redemption and constitutional restoration, will com? mit a sin too heinous to bo named. It may bo that radicalism will en? deavor to help itself by Southern riots. Should such be its policy, lot us so act as to convince the world that we are blameless. Every man in tho South should feel it to be the requirement, not only of duty and gratitude, but of honor, to abstain from every act and every expression that eau in any mnuner inj uro tho cause of our friends in tho North. [Richmond Whig. NEW MOTIVE POWER FOR STREET CARS.-A Mr. C. M. Waylio, an ingenious mechanic of New Orleans, has been for some timo engaged in devising n method of applying com? pressed air to the purpose of propell? ing street cars. On Thursday lost, au experiment was tried in New Orleans, which seems to have con? vinced all who were present of tho feasibility of the project. Tho New Orleans Picayune says "each car by this process can be run about seven dollars cheaper per diem that at present, thero will bo less danger of accidents, and a moro uniform rato of speed can be maintained." Mr. Waylio has secured the patent right for his invention, and a stock com? pany has already been formed, for placing this power upon cars now drawn by nnimals. No change will bo necessary in tho construction of the present cars. CAUTION TO EXCURSIONISTS.-Tho New York Tribune, of Monday, gives the following account of a melancholy accident, which should serve as a warning to excursionists: While a party of pleasure-seekers were returning from Dudley's Grove, by tho steamer Stephen Low, aud were landing passengers, last oveu ing, at 152d street, a girl fell over? board and was drowned. Officer Corlett, iu trying to secure her, was also drowned. The crowd, rushiug to the side of the boat, broke a rail, and a dozen moro fell into the water. As thero are nino unclaimed hats at tho Carmansvillo police sta? tion, it is supposed that as rnany persons were drowned. Tho bodies of tho officer and girl had not been recovered up to midnight. THE GOLD FIELDS OF ALASKA. The United States Consul at Victo? ria, Vancouver's Island, in reporting to the State Department tho wreck of tho schooner 1 'Louisa Down," on nu expedition to explore the gold re? gions of Alaska, says that this expe? dition was beiug led by au old aud experienced miner named Freuchie, who had prospected tho Skiena Uiver country tho previous season, and had found therein a rich gold field. So confident aro miners who knew Frenchie, in his statement, that an? other expedition is beiug organized for tho Skiena Uiver country, and will sail in a few days. lu another letter he mentions the reports which have reached us by telegraph already, to the effect that tho minera had found a rich field of gold, and were gathering tho precious metal/by tho lump. Speaking of stenographic law re? porting, Judgo Cardoso, of New York, said: "Tho stenographers aro generally wrong; I have found them almost invariably wrong, and I shall bo governed by my notes. I think they wero intended rather for indo? lent judges thau otherwise." DEATH OF A CHARLESTONIAN.-Mr. John Hogan, an old resident, left Charleston a few days since, on a visit to the North. While in New York during the present heated term, ho fell a victim to a sun-stroko, and tho telegraph on Wednesday advised his family of his sudden demise. Hot weather everywhere. In the Tribune editorial rooms, the nearest place to tho infernal regions on earth, at ll o'clock last oveniug, tho mercury stood 106 deg., with a strong upward tendency. Dipping the hands and wrists in cold water, is recommended ns an infallible method for "cooling off" this hot weather. A difficulty occurred iu Walter boro, on Monday last, between Messrs. W. H. Bellinger and Clarence Fish burne; pistols were used, and the former received a ball in the nook, and the latter two in the re? gion of the knee. The wounds are serious. DROUGHT.-The crops of Chester District are suffering very much for want of rain, and unless it comes soon, the upland corn will be de? stroyed, as it is now nearly five weeks since some portions of tue Distriot have been blessed with rain. One of onr exchanges praises an egg, which, it says, "was laid on our table by the Bev. Mr. Smith." Mr. Smith seems to bo a layman as well as a minister. A number of horses on tho New York street-cars died, Tuesday, from exhaustion, on account of the ex? treme heat. Laborers and carpenters aro em? ployed in removing the scenery aud paraphernalia of the "Whito Fawn," at Niblo'a. A stranger, named Francis Winos ky, died very suddenly, in Charles? ton, on the lGth.
