Foreign Affairs. MADRID, July 19-4 A. M.-At mid? night, last night, the carriage of the King and Queen was fired upon by a party of assassins. The King nnd Queen, who were the only occupants of tue carriage, escaped uninjured. Ono of the assassins was killed by an attendant, and two wera captured. The royal family are now at the palace, receiving the congratulations of the populace upon their escape. The tranquillity of tbe city is uudistarbed, although, when accounts of the affair began to be generally circu? lated, there was much excitement. Crowds gathered in tho neighborhood where the attack had been made. By 4 o'clock in the morning, almost the entire population of Madrid was hastening through the streets. Their Majesties remained self-possessed daring the scene of* excitement which ensued after the at? tack and brief oonfliot with the assas? sins. When quiet had been in a measure restored, they proceeded to the palace, where they now are, receiving members oi the Miniatry, civic and military au? thorities of the city, and deputations from the people. AU classas are enthu? siastic in rejoicing over the failure of the murderous attack. GENEVA, July 19.-Great precautions are being taken by those connected with the board of arbitration to secure abso? lute secrecy. With this view, the entire party of English representatives refuse to go into any secrecy. A number of influential gentlemen of Italy have united in an address to Oount oclopis, President of the board, congratulating him upon the part he has taken in the proceedings of that body, and expressing gratification that the dispute between Great Britain and Am?rica has beet sub? mitted to the deoision of a peacefU tri? bunal. LONDON, July 19.-It is reported that Parliament will be prorogued to ?cgust 10.

To-day's session lasted from 1 until 4. All the members present. To-day was devoted to the question of the responsibility of England; which Tenderden denies. The court adjourned to Monday. American Matters. WASHINGTON, Joly 19.-A person signing himself J. T. Piokett, Confede? rate States Diplomatic Agent, near the Government of Mexico, publishes a long letter in explanation of his connection with the transaction whereby the United States paid $75,000. Piokett claims to have acted merely as attorney. He says: i "The documents consist of the entire archives of the Department of State of the Confederate States-nothing more nor less-without the abstraction of a single piece. The secret service vouch-. era, by whioh many persons, of little note, however, this side of the lines might have been compromised, did not leave Biohmond with those more public papers, bat were faithfully and honora? bly destroyed by Mr. Benjamin, the day of the ?vacuation. Had any each papers oome into my possession, I should have been burned at the state sooner than deliver them, even to the common government. Thus, I do not perceive that anybody is hurt, and there is but one paper the perusal of whioh gave any pain-the Hon. Jacob Thomp ' eon's report of operations on the fron? tier, Seo.-the' existence of whioh WSB unknown to me, until the officer with whom I lately went to Canada found it. As ho would testify if called npon, it was too late, then, to recede; nor could I have been induced to falsify history by destroying it; and here followed a cari? ous ?pisode. Kuowing that the docu? ments exhibited the fact that Mr. Thompson had a very large amount of Confederate States gold in bis posses? sion, at the time of the collapse, which gold has gone 'where the woodbine twineth, I went a long journey, last summer, to see him, and out of abund? ant kindness, told him of the fact that such papers were still extant, He woola not be convinced, saying Mr. Benjamin had-told him that everything of the kind had been destroyed; andi dare say he was so informed and be? lieved; this being manifestly the oue of that wily Hebrew, in order to share in the plunder aforesaid. Now, inasmuch as the Confederate Government was in? debted to the writer in the amount of at least 950,000 of that gold, on liquidated account, he (the writer) felt virtuously indignant that Messrs. Thompson and Benjamin should haye gobbled it all. By Mr. Thompson's permission, I after? wards addressed him on the subject, in the hope that he would make an effort to secare the entire mass of documents, bat he treated my letter with offensive si lenoe. Now, the publication of his re Sort will, doubtless, oauae him, with efferson Davie and J. P. Benjamin, to feel uncomfortable for a little while; but aa I expeot to go to neither of them when I aie, my sympathy shall not be of a heart-rending character, especially as they, have all- three treated me badly euongh in my time; and thus I am, albeit unintentionally, the instrument of the execution of a sort of poetic justice npon them." The letter does no oredit to the author, the Federal Government, or the mysterious parties who owned the documento, and there are parties here who question the truthfulness of some of the details. TBRRKHATJTB, Joly 19.- Vo or he os, in addressing his constituents upon accept? ing the Congressional nomination, gave - hearty adhesion to the action of the Baltimore Convention.

General Booba reviewed the Government forces recently, at Monte? rey, 8,000 strong. He is expected here, with an escort, to arrange to supply his army from this point. It is stated that telegraph communication will shortly be opened to the City of Mexico, there being no obstructions. The line is being built. WASHINGTON, Joly 19-Evening -The following is a summary of tbe July cot ton,crop report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture: The past month has been generally favorable to cotton. Slight areas have been affected by drought, but rains were quite general daring the latter part of June on the Atlantic coast. Showers have been so frequent and heavy since June 20, as to delay cultivation, and promote the growth of weeds and grass. Before that date, a season of comp rative drought of seven or eight weeks bad been suffered in a portion of this dis triot, while othor Counties represent the weather as having been uniformly favor? able. The variation in rain-fall during tho past month has been coualdorable on the Atlantic States, ranging us follows, at stations reported: From 1.02 inches to 4.95 in Virginia; 1.75 to 5.49 in North Carolina; 1.04 to 3.95 in South Caroli? na; from 1.25 to 4.96 in Georgia; from 4 to 6 in Florida; and from 1.55 to 4.89 in Alabama. In the States on the Missis? sippi the fall baa been abundant. Tbe lowest record in the several States was from 2 to 4 inches and the highest from 5 to ll. In ' Tennessee, the range ie from 6.04 to 10; in Louisiana, 4.35 to ll; in Texas, 2.02 to 6.09. The States making averages lower than 100-the standard of good condition-are Virgi? nia, North Carolina and South Carolina, in whioh the average rain fall in May and June was light, and Arkansas, where injury has resulted from heavy and un? seasonable rains. In all the other Statet the averages are above 100. The figures representing condition ar? as follows: Virginia, 96; North Carolina, 94; South Carolina, 97; Georgia, 101 Florida, 102; Alabama, 106; Mississippi 109; Louisiana, 103; Texas, 105; Arkan sas, 95; Tennessee, 104. Taking inte consideration tbe relative importance o the States in production, the genera average of condition would be about 103 As a whole, the Joly returns of the pre sent year indicate a higher average o condition than those of any previously reported except 1868. Probabilities-A local storm of somi severity is apparently moving North ward into Louisiana and Alabama Cloudy weather, with numerous looa storms, is probable for Saturday through out tbe Southern and Gulf States Light winds and cool pleasant weathe viii prevail North-east of Ohio.

FORNEY AGITATED ABOUT GOVEBNMENT COMPENSATION FOR SLAVES.-Fornoy in greatly agitated-dreadfully agitated. Of coo rao, he ia for Grant and tho im? maculate Radicals, whose highest con? ception of "peace" is to tight for it; and of publio policy ia to enforce as law whatever the Radical party may clothe in the form of law. Nevertheless, For? ney is terribly agitated. Hu says be respects Greeley tvs a very worthy m*u, except that he has formed a coalition with the Democrats for the overthrow of j a military government and the re-estab? lishment of a civil authority nnder the | constitution as the paramount powor. He says that "it will not help the cause | of the Rspublicau party" to abuse aud disparage Charles Sumner because of his terrible Philippic against Grant. Harlranft, the Radical candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, who earned laurels at the scaffold of the unfortunate Mrs. Surratt, he declares will lose the State lo tho Republicans by 40,000 ma? jority. But the special cause of tribula? tion is that Greeley's election (whioh he halt way oonoedes) will bring compensa? tion to the Southern people for slaves | emancipated by Lincoln's proclamation. He is very sensitive. His words ar? re? markable. We quote without comment literally except to Italicize a single line which concedes the justice of the claims I for compensation, whioh the colored I population would hail with delight aa1 quieting all their troubles for tbe future. The Press, of the 13:h of July, says: "If through the Greeley coalition the ex-rebels of the South should themselves become again the controlling elemeut of a majority party, with a President nnd Congress subservient to their wishes, ia it not moro than likely that they would demand compensation for their emanci? pated slaves? Remembering that Mr. Greeley advocated compensated emanci? pation in 1862, and, no doabt, from a sincere belief that it was just, lie might not os President regard the claim as pre? posterous, even ut this late day. The I Democraoy at Baltimore adopted, with? out change, the Cincinnati platform, whoBe seventh clause snys: 'The publio | credit must bo sacredly maintained, and we denounce repudiation in every form or guise.' Ouce restored to power, mainly by the votes of the Southern States, this party might be disposed to give the widest construction to this plank of their platform. The slave-owners would un? questionably present their bills to the National Government and urge, not with? out a specious shoio of plausibility, that the taking away of their valuable slave properly without reimbursement was repu? diation under the guise of a war, and that, therefore, thu new Administration was pledged by the Baltimore platform to pay them." THE CENTRAL PARE MUSEUM-Prof. S. F. Holmes, of Charleston, S. C., is arranging a large and valuable collection of fossils and specimens at the American Museum of Natural History in the Cen? tral Park. Among the interesting speci? mens already on exhibition are the fossil remains of u man, which were found in 1544, near Charleston. These remains consist of the tibia, the femur and tho lower jaw-bone. A fossil resembling a bunch of ostrich feathers; shark's teeth, six and a quarter inches in length and weighing two pounds each; a mammoth's tooth, weighing sixteen and a half pounds; a lizard's lower jaw-bone, "wo und a half feet long, and a fossil oyster, twenty-two iueb.es long, are among the curiosities of thu collection. There arc also 100 glass jars, contaiuing specimens preserved in alcohol. One of these is a mammoth spider, whose bite is equally as poisonous as that of the rattle-snake. This specimen was fonud ut Ingleside, Prof. Holmes' plantation, near Charles? ton. The shells of the Southern coast are well represented. Tho Professor had proposed to send the collection to Eng? land, but it ie hoped that it may ulti? mately bo retained in the Museum at the Park. The Board of Park Commission? ers and the Trustees of the Museum of Natural Histcry have made arrangements to erect new buildings in the Central Park, between Seventy-ninth aud Eighty fourth streets, near Fifth avenue. Plana have been prepared, and the construc? tion of the buildings will soon be begun. The Verreaux collection, which was bought in Paris before the Frauco-Ger man war, has been received in perfect order.-New York Tribune. SAUNDERS, THE SOUTH CAROLINA MUR? DERER, ESCAPES AUAIN.-A private letter from a friend at Bartow informs ns of the second escape of a man named Saunders, charged with the murder of his father-in-law in South Carolina-this time from the jail at Swainsboro.

BOUTWELL.-Aflora considerable amount of blowing, hooting, tooting, banging and blustering, yesterday morn? ing, the leaders ot tbs party succeeded in gathering a small crowd of white Re? publicans and a somewhut larger one of the "dark-faced" gentry, together with quite a large number of Democrats, within the walls of the Oourt House, to bear this gentleman expatiate on the po? litical issues of tho day. Not being pre? sent but a few minutes, we are unable to give even a meagre r-port of the speech, but understand that nearly the whole time (two or three boure) was taken up in defending the present Government officials from the fraud and corruption that they stand charged with. Of course, it is to his interest, and to the interest of the party whioa he represents, to make the matter appear in as mild a form as possible, but wo feel confident in saving that with all your "fancied facts" and figures, Mr. Boutwell, North arolina will never go for Mr. Grant for resident again. You may paint the matter in golden colors; you may pre? sent the workings of tho Government in its mildest and most beautiful aspects, but the solid voters of the "Old North State" cnn have no confidence in what you say. They have felt the pressure; they have been weighted down by its oppression long enough, and on the flrtt day of August next, their voices will be beard from the mountains to the sea? shore, proclaiming, "Down pith tyranny and oppression, and np with liberty, justice and right!" DIDN'T LIKE HIM. -On returning from the Oourt Houso, yesterday afternoon, where we bad been to hear Mr. Boutwell tell about the honesty, of the Govern? ment officials, we were accosted, by one of the "colored brethren" who had also been there. He said: "Mister, dat old feller thinks he knows more about it dan anybody else, aud be wont give nobody else a obanoe to say a word. I got tired of him, I did, and I don't think I'll go back any more." Fanciful figures didn't suit him at all, and we are half way in? clined to the belief that he (the colored man) will oonclude and vote for his best and truest friend, Horace Greeley. [CharloUe Observer. BILL AND Bon SARTOR.-We learn that Bill Sartor, the notorious thief who was sentenced at the last term of oourt for this County, to two years' imprison? ment in the State Penitentiary, made bis escape from that place last Saturday night, and has joined his brother Bob, who is at largo and committing many depredations in this County. After the tatter shot Mr. Willard, of which we gave an acoount in our last issue, a party of four or five took out a warrant to arrest bim. In their search on Mr. Young's plantation, they found in a ne? gro house two trunks and about $300 worth of goods, which had been stolen from Col. A. G. Rice, Home weeks ago, besides other goods. We are informed that they have been selling goods in different parts of the County, at re? markably low prices. These men are perfect outlaws, and. if they are not ar? rested soon, they will inorease their gaug and commit some serious outrage in the County. We hope tho authorities will make a strong effort to have' them -ar? rested. This is the second time that Bill Sartor bas escaped from'the peni? tentiary since be was sentenced. Either the low condition of the State Treasury will not permit a sufficient guard to bo placed around that institution, or there is culpable neglect among its offiiese, is, no doubt, the cause. We are inolined to think the fault is in the depleted Treasury. That suoh a gang should be permitted to go at large so long is an outrage upou our citizens. I Union Times. SHOOTING PEOPLE AS A JOKE.-Henry Taggart was recently killed in Brooklyn, N. x., by a young man named Thomas Quailly, who playfully pointed a musket at Taggart and jokingly said, "What would you say if I was to shoot you now?" Taggart shouted, "look out whut you are doing," and at the same time raised his hands in evident alarm. Directly afterwards a ball from the mus? ket struck him iu the right eye, and emerged at tho back of his head, killing him. The.se cases are alarmingly fre? quent throughout the country, and it is time a stop was put to them. Michigan, we believe, is entitled to the credit of having taken the lead in legislation against criminal thoughtlessness. In that State the pointing of a fire-arm, loaded or unloaded, ut a citizen, is ad? judged a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, and if damage comes of such criminal folly, the perpe? trator is held responsible, pecuniarily and criminally. Other States would do well to pass a similar law. A MELANCHOLY DEATH.-We are pained to ohroniole that Mr. H.

Two natives were crushed to death by the mammoth oar of Juggernaut, during a procession in the streets. Bed Cloud has learned that Grant's "heart is good." He measures good? ness in the same way that the President himself does-by gifts received. { It is a carious fact, that on the hot days in the begianing of July, the ther? mometer wus higher at Boston than at New Orleans. The eleotoral vote of the next Presi? dential election will aggregate 826, mak? ing 181 necessary to a choice. NEW Firry CERT COUNTERFEITS.-Pe? terson's Counterfeit Detector, for Joly, gives the following description of the new counterfeit half dollar notes, exten? sively circulated at present: The head of Stanton, the beard harsh and stiff, the back grounds on the right of the head irregular and scratchy. Under some of the words "fractional currency," are Ave lines in the ruled shade to the letters, and but fonr in the genuine. lu the words "United States," the black spaces be? tween the body of the letters and the ruled shades are irregular, and generally narrower than the genuine, which are of uniform width. On the back of the counterfeit, the hair lines forming the turns at the top and bottom of the Italic letters are heavy; on the genuine, they are light and delicate. The red seal also differs materially from the genuine in the form of the letters, whioh are irregular, and on both sides of the let? ters, and the rules forming the back? ground to the shield. The fibre paper on whioh the genuine notes are printed has been imitated by scratchy lines en? graved on the counterfeit plate. On ex? amination with a glass, it will be seen that the entire work differs from the genuine. A great deal of history-especially ec? clesiastical history-was made in the last brief session of the North German Par? liament, whose pre-eminent measure was the anti-Jesuit bill. This bill "abolishes the convents and other establishments of the order on German soil; it extends the same veto to all other orders and religious societies oonneoted with the Jesuits, leaving to the Government to determine whioh those societies are; and it confers on the administrative authori? ties the right, not, indeed, to expel the Jesuits, OB first proposed, but to assign to them the localities where alone they may reside. This latter clause will, of course, have the same effect as expulsion ; for no Jesnit will allow himself to be banished to the Danish frontier, to live under surveillance among a purely Pro? testant people, if he hos the alternative of voluntary expatriation left him. But there is a flaw in the i Act whioh we do not know whether the Government will succeed in removing. ? Wishing to make sure of the law being sanctioned by the higher powers, Parliament made it de? pendent on the decision of the Federal Council whether the necessary orders for the restraining of the individual Jesuits were to be issued by tho Central Govern? ment or by the authorities of the various States. Ii the latter mode prevail, it is just possible that the measure will not be carried out with equal stringency in every part of the empire." LONGFELLOW'S ACCIDENT - A GAM B HOE.SE.-It will be learned with extreme regret by the. large class interested, in sporting matters that John! Harper's great horse, Longfellow, was disabled from racing, it is feared for life, by an accident at the Saratoga course yester? day. That. this took place in a. race which saw two and a quarter miles ac? complished in three minutes and fifty nine seconds-the fastest time on record -r-will make the accident the more re gretable, when, too, it is learned that Longfellow only lost the raoe by a length. One of his plates became twisted in tho running and ont the other foot and leg badly, but the heart of the horse never weakened. Ho ran gamely as . ever to the end, and was led off limping and bleeding to the stable. Then) seams something in this of plnck, almost hero? ism, whioh man arrogates entirely to himself; hut two miles and a quarter on little better than three legs and in suoh time will challenge admiration the world over. It will be remembered that: he recently beat his successful rival of yes? terday, Harry Bassett, at Long Branch, in a two and a half mile raoe, by about 150 yards, in foar min?tes and thirty four seconds.-New York Herald. A new vessel is about to be built on the Clyde, to ran between Liverpool and New York, of dimensions only second to the Great Eastern. Her length is to be 576 feet over all, and she is to be fifty feet beam and twenty-five feet in depth. It is expected that the great steamship will make the voyage from port to port in seven days. Some of the newspapers think it worth while to tell us that Baron Rothschild lost 815,000 at the Ascot raoes, just as if he couldn't bettor afford to lose $15,000 than the rest of us could afford to lose fifteen cents. Mr. Gilmore is still ill from the effects of the Boston jubilee. Some people will be glad to learn that the jubilee left any effects. The Phiiadelphian who kissed his hired girl while his wife was coping through the key-hole, will be abie to be out about Christmas.
