BRIDGEPORT, CONN., August 29.-Gree? ley addressed a vast impromptu crowd to? day. He said: This great gathering I receive as something which forty years of aotive and earnest life may possibly have, in some measure, invited, but which I did not anticipate. Allow me, then, when I receive its evidence of per? sonal good will, and in some measure of confidence, to make a single remark with referenoe to one aspect of tho great struggle now going on in our oountry. Strategy in politios is the tribute which ?raft pays to Btrength. The wolf skin proving too short, the fox's tail is pressed into service to piece it with. [Laughter and cheers. J You see, at this day, a groat party struggling to avert defeat, by distracting and breaking up the host which is opposed to it. You would not have Federal office-holders working BO hard to get up a third tioket if they did not feel sure that between the two tickets already in the field, the verdiot was against them. [Cheers and cries of "Right, old hossl"? An effort, then, to diatraot the host on our side is a confes? sion of despair. As such receive it. The confession remains; the despair is not likely to pass away. [Applause.] MONTGOMERY, ALA., August 29.-Re? liable reports from all quarters of Ala? bama represent the destruction of cotton by the worms as more thorough than ever before. They have eaten leaves and forms until the fields are as bare as after frost. The naked condition of the plant reveals the fact that the mature fruitage is not so great as usual at this season. Fears of almost universal bank? ruptcy among the planters are enter? tained. No one expects the crops to equal that of last year. Col. M. J.

Even the mere profession of adherence to Democratic ideas must soon despair, if, without our marked dissout, the party can be trans? ferred to its deadliest foe. (Signed) CHARLES O'CONOR. They have anarchy organized in Pope County, Ark. It seems that the sherill' and his deputy were desirous of holding their offices auothor year, and so got up a little sham bushwhacking, which proved to bo a great deal nearer the real thing they intended, two men being killod in tbe performance. The sheriff then tried to get martial law proclaimed, in order that he might hold over, but the citizens protested, and tho Governor got bewildered by the conflicting testi? mony, and things became pretty consid? erably mixed. DEATH OF A FAMOUS TROTTER.-Wade Hampton, a well-known and popular trotter, owned at one time by Alderman Doris, of this city, was killed by an acci? dent at Springfield, Mass., last Tuesday week, while he was being removed from the oars to the race oourae at that place, to take part in the races there. At the time of his death, he was owned by Mr. Abram Johnaon, who purchased him from Alderman Doris, last April. \ Augusta Chronicle. SPURGEON COMING.-It is said that the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon will visit Brooklyn in the autumn as the guest of Dr. Tul mage, and will probably preaoh for him in the Tabernacle. That would be an event in current religious history which would cause an excitement similar to that which attended the visit of Dr. New? man Hall to this country. The Scandinavians of Chicago, wea? ried with being olaimod as being a unit for Grant, thought they would put a stop to the assumption. So they had an enthusiastic convention, and pledged themselves in favor of Greeley. It WUB a sufficient anewer. SUDDEN DEATH.-About 7 o'clock, on Tuesday evening, Mr. C. Gerkin, a re? spectable German citizen, fell down in a fit at the corner of Vanderhorst and King streets, while on his way home from busi? ness, and died shortly afterwards. There is no funeral so sad to follow as the funeral of our own youth which we have been pampering with fond desires, ambitious hopes, and all the bright ber? ries that hang in poisonous dusters over the path of life.

It may have a gravor significance and tho day prove historic. Two New York detectives aro in tho Tombs for stealing 81,000 worth of jewelry from a lady who employed them. A colored woman, named Rosa Jack Bon, has been arrested ou a charge of in 1 fanticide, in Abbeville. A LOAFER'S PARADISE.-Tho Prov?- i deuce Journal bas a pleasant letter from Nantucket, in which occurs tho following interestiug passages: There was a time, not immy yours ago, when eighty-nine whale bhips sailed out of this port. Then it was doubtless the most active and wealthy community of its size ou our coast. Tbe great tire wbiob laid waste much of the central portion of the town, a quarlor of a cen? tury since, induced a partial prostration of its business. The rapid tilling up of tbe entrance to its harbor completed that prostration. Now, only two whale ships aro owned here, ond we ure told tbnt they would both be sold on their return from thc sea. The curator of thc Athentoam set forth to us the present business of the town by Baying, "We live hero by shaving each other, till a stranger comes, and then we all combine to shave him." Ile, however, hardly did himself and bis fellow-citizens justice. They doubtless glean quito au amount from summer travelers, bat they charge but little for what tboy give in return, as compured with the extortionate prices that prevail in other localities whitber pleasure-seek erB resort. They are full of real, unaf? fected courtesy, generosity und hospi? tality. A dozen years ugo, tbe popula? tion was 8.??0; now it is only half that number. The priucipal thoroughfares are paved, and grass grows betweeu the paving stones oven on the main street. Most of the streets are very crooked aud very narrow, and the houses are gene? rally huddled close together, us though at the time of their erection it were feared that the island might prove toe small for the rapidly expanding commu nity. In some localities, tho house stand buck of each other in tiers two 01 three deep, and those in the rear arc reached by labyrinthine windings not in frequwutly bordered by pea-vines o: flowering shrubs, though sometimes tin intricate passage is barren of all oma mont and attractiveness. Almost ever; house has u look-out ou top. In Bom instances, it is a meru cupola, but ofter it is quito a prom?nade, frequently ex teuding from eudjto cud of tho house above tho ridge pole, aui fenced iu wit! a balustrade. Time was when those loot outs wore daily visited, and eager eye scanned the horizon tocatch, if possible a glimpse of some returning whale ski] but those days have gono by. They uo1 scarooly surve any other purpose than t udd to the antique and quaint appeal auce of tho town. Most of the peopl here aro in independent circumvtauce Many ure wealthy. Tho poor class? have gone to tho mainland, or "the coi tinent," os it is the rule to say her where there is something to do by wbic a living can bu earned. Really bealthfi and enjoyable summer homes oau be ol tamed at moderato expense. Loafing is a fino art in Nantncke Look into any office on Main street, an you will see a dozen comfortable arc chairs. Men who had business one but have none now, keep their old o iii hours, aud around them gather their o cronies as regularly as the days com Old yarns are spun again for the tho Rand th time; long voyages aro sailed ov once more; the careers of notably BC cessful or unfortunate ships are i hearsed; politics and blue fishing ti discussed at length. All sorts of devic are resorted to for ruffling the stage tion of the town with a little exoitemei To vary tho monotony of a very d trade, auctions of a kind unheard elsewhere aro ingeniously devised-su as meat auctions, for instance. Wh an ox is killed, it is cot np into pie? suitable for family usc, into each pieo skewer is stuck, all the pieces are d played on a large woodon bondi pluc oo the side-walk, and thou the crier despatched through the town to i nounce with bell aud voice- that a m auction will take place ut a certain ho Tho crowd gathers, and great eutht asm is displayed till the salo is ov Tho steamboat is the grand theme of i thoughts of the people.

FOBTV MILES OP HORSE-RIDE IN TWO HOURS.-Tho announcement that Ghan Retickor, better known an tho "Califor? nia Boy," whose won dori ul perform? ances iu the saddle have won for him a wide celebrity, would ride fifty miles in three hours, drew quite a fair number of ladies and gentlemen to the Hamtranck Race Course Saturday afternoon. To enable the young horseman to execute his arduous undertaking, a dozen fleet California ponies were in waiting near tko grand stand, thus enabling tho rider to cbange horses ut the end of each mil?. Mr. Reticker has upward of thirty of these pouies, all selected tor their speed and bottom, which he takes with him wherever be goes; but it was not neces? sary to bring them all into requisition for this race. Four experienced grooms, who also travel with the horseman, wero in attendance. At precisely 2.51 o'clock, "Chan" stepped briskly from his .dress? ing-room iu the judges' stand, and sig? naled for the first horse to bo brought up. Reticker is n well-built, active, fine looking young fellow, and was dressed in a jockey costume, consisting of bliu shirt, with wide rolling collar and white cuffs, white corduroy knee-breeches, white stockings, etout riding shoes, and a red, white und blue cup. He is about twenty-two yearB of age, and for the last ton years has almost literally lived in the saddle. He waa for a long time in tbe employ of the Adams Express Company on thu Plains, and when but twelve years of age, rode a pony express from St. Joseph to Sacramento. The wiry little pony was brought up, pawing and prancing, and so eager for a start that-it seemed a rather difficult undertaking for the rider to mount. With ono bouud, however, he was in the Mexican saddle, and the pony being released, made a tre? mendous spring and was off like a rocket. The little sorrel went flying down the back stretch and past the half-mile post in 1.05, when his rider evidently checked his speed, and he came in under a steady pull in 2.20. As Reticker reached the stand, he leaped from his pony, sprung into the saddle of the fresh horse which tbo grooms brought out, and was off ugaiu before the spectators got through applauding. On this and the succeeding circuits of the track, he took his time, coming in iu 2.34 and 2.33. Reticker then took a swallow of ioo water, and, mounting his horse, started off at a pace which indicated fast time. He came in in 2.12. Mile after milo was accom? plished by tho dashing rider, who exhi? bited no signs of fatigue, aud rode as if he rather enjoyed it. At the conclusion of the sixteenth mile, Reticker mounted aa ugly, vicious sorrel pony, who admirably answered to tbe description of Mark Twain's cele? brated bucking horse. Several minutes were lost in endeavoring to induce the animal to do anything except stand on his hind legs, when he suddenly mani? fested a strong disposition to lie down, ' and."the Boy" was compelled to dis? mount and take another steed. On the seventeenth turn of the track, he made up for loBt time, coming home in 2.07, lbs fastest time of the race. The first tweuty miles were made in fifty-five mi? nutes, und the twenty-five miles in one hour and nine minutes. Retioker then retired to his dressing-room and rested for nearly ten minutes, when he re? mounted and continued his ride. It was then plainly to be seen that he would accomplish his feat within tbo allotted time, and have considerable time to spare, so it was decided not to prolong the race beyond the fortieth mile. This was accomplished in 2.30, making tbe ontire distance, including stoppages and changes, in one hour aud fifty-six mi? nutes. As this left him one hour and four minutes in which to ride the re? maining ten miles, the spectators an? nounced themselves as satisfied, and the race was ended. Roticker was as fresh as the gentle daisy after a summer shower when he got through, and did not expe? rience the slightest fatigue. He then retired to his dressing-room, and, after a fow moments, reappeared as a gushing blonde in an aggravated "Oully Varden," resembling a small flower garden. Mounting a fresh horse, equipped with side-saddle, he started around the track, his beautiful blonde tresses flying in the breeze, and resem? bling the tad of Mr. Plantamour's comet. When half way around the track, off came the "Dolly Varden" and the blonde wig, then the saddle, and "tho boy," ar? rayed in the every-day costume of a Bruie Sioux warrior, came dashing down tho home stretoh on his bare-backed steed. As he passed the grand stand he threw off the horse's bridle, and accom? plished the wonderful feat of riding an? other mile without saddle or bridle. Re ticker then donned another full Indian costume-not the ooBtome of a full In? dian-and mounting his pet pony, o beautiful and valuable animal, gave a fine exhibition of hurdle-riding. He con? cluded by carrying a oook-stove, a wash? tub, boiler and a small dray load of fur? niture, showing the manner in which the gentle savage breaks np housekeeping and moves on the lat of May. The entire exhibition gave the best satisfaction to all present, and demon? strated that Roticker is a perfect horse? man, and is possessed of powers of en? durance of which few mon can boast. His forty mile race was accomplished in quicker timo than a fast express traiu could make, providing it made the same number of Btops.-Detroit Press. A bolt of lightning took a great many liberties with tho things at tho telegraph o?lico at Goodman, Miss., some uv?.nings ago. It molted the wires,- danced a hornpipe on tho head of a sleeping ne? gro, unhinged a door, and disappeared through a window, smashing it in its progress to "smithereens," and alto? gether playing the very old Harry gene? rally. The operator says that at the time of the concussion ho felt like heaven and earth had kissed each other, and that for hoars after his head felt os if u pile-driver had collided with an earth? quake. The Boston Advertiser, a. valiaut Radi? cal organ, says: "It would h? strango to bear the voice of Mr. Grtclev mingling with the voices of Pendleton and Sey? mour and Blair, of Forsyth, Hampton, Stephens and the whole corps of unpu? nished but unrepentant rebels to belittle tho unparalleled clemency of the Repub? lican administration, if his agreement with them concerning the rightfulness of their cause were not notorious." Has the zeal of the editor of the Boston Ad? vertiser for the Grant cause entirely run away with his memory? Gan he not call to mind the fact that two of the par? ties he names as "unpunished and unre? pentant rebels" resided at their Northern homes during the whole of the war; that a third was a distinguished General fighting for the Union cause, while the Advertiser editor remained safely at home, and that Stephens is now virtu? ally on the side of Grant? Grant may have au "agreement" with Stephens, Toombs, Mosby and his other Southern supporters, but Mr. Greeley's hearty and almost unanimous endorsement by tho Southern people is due to the fact that he is the representative of reconci? liation, peace and con si i tu ti on al govern? ment.-Louisville Courier-Journal. Antonelli, Prince Cardinal and Chan? cellor of the Pope, died yesterday, in Borne, at the age of seventy.
