St. Paul, Minn., September 11.?
Gen. Ouster's final official report to
Gen. Terry recapitulates his former
statements, and takes strong ground
in favor of the.immediate opening up
of the Black Hills for military reasons.
He endorses the report of gold disco?
veries, and suggests further explora?
tions next seaeou. Nevertheless, Pro?
fessors Wiuobell and DonnldBon assort
that Gen. Caster does not know, of
his own knowledge, that any color of
gold was found in the Black Hills.
Vioksboro, September 11.?Several
days ago a call for a meeting of
former soldiers of the Union and Con?
federate armies was published, stating
that tho purpose was to foster and en?
courage kindly relations between the
soldiers of the lato war, and to form a
bond of mutual friendship and good
feeling. Several preliminary meetings
held were attended by representatives
of both armies, those of the Union
army residents of this oity being
nearly equal in number to those of the
Confederate army. At the meeting
last night the body formed itself into
an association, to be known as the
Order of Blues and Grays. The
speeches delivered were indicative of
the utmost good feeling aud relief at
this public acknowledgment of a break
in tho dark cloud of prejudice which
has beeo oppressing all alike.
New York, September 11.?Moul
ton'a final statement is published
to-day. It fills twenty columns, is
very decisive in tone, and utterly dis?
proves Beeober's charges of black?
mail. It ooutains other aud more
startling statements than those hereto?
fore published, ' and would seem to
leave Buecber uo alternative but to
"step down and out." Many of tho
details given in tbe statement are ut?
terly unfit for publication. Among
the letters printed is a note enclosing
a check, aud direoting Moulton to use
it at his disoretiou. Another is a
friendly note, making an appointment.
In it Beeoher sends his love to Mrs.
Emma Moultoo, aud writes how
dreadfully near the point she speaks
sometimes. One letter from Mrs.
Tilton's mother is prodnood, iu which
she addresses Beeoher as "my deur
son/' and asks him to pay her reut.
She refers to bis (Beeober's) secret,
and says that only six persons know
it. She writes of Elizabeth's home
troubles, and thanks Beeoher for the
deep consolation be affords her daugh?
ter. The letter closes, "Do you know
I think it very strange that you should
ask me to call you my son." Moultoo
gives specially, in words, the justifica?
tion whioh Beeoher gave to him for
his adultery with Mrs. Tilton, namely
this: that this physical expression of
lovo was as natural as the word* of
endearment he used . towards her.
Thie, Moulton says, was the first
enunciation of the dootrioe of free
love that be had ever heard, and it
therefore beoame impressed on his
memory.
Mfmphis, September 12.?The por
son charged with implication in the
Trenton affair has been brought here
by the Fedejal guard, to be examined
by the Uaited States Commissioner.
New York, September 12 ?-Ply?
mouth Church prayer meeting was
largely attended. Nearly all the
speakers, in their prayers or addresses,
referred to the absent pastor with un?
altered affection and confidence. Bio
ther Cleveland, who bad recently seen
Mr. Beeoher in the country, iuformed
he congregation that thoir pastor wus
cheerful and unmoved by the slanders,
and was coming back on the 1st Octo?
ber to assume his duties with greater
efficacy than ever. One gentleman
prayed that Beeoher's enemies might
be pat to shame.
A tog fouled the hawsor of the
steamer Cuba, as she was enteriog the
docks, foroing a lady and her son
against the cabin of a canal boat,
nearly killing both.
All the papers comment unfavorably
on Moni ton's late statement, except tbe
Herald, whioh thinks Moulton's new
charges require au answer. Tho Times
and Herald say the charges of black?
mail against Moulton are overthrown.
Tho Sun oannot see that the statement
adds any conclusive testimony to what
was in tbe case before. The Tribune,
World nod Time* express similar opi?
nions.
Mendelssohn, who was convicted of
forgery, yesterday, took arsenic last

Lewia G. French, Secretary of tbe
Palisade Insurance Company, was ar?
rested yesterday, on a charge of fraud
committed in Jersey Oity, in default of
$5,000 bail.
Owing to the pressure of the times,
masons, bricklayers, hod-carriers and
helpers in Jersey Oity, Bergen, Hud
boo iCity and Hoboken, daring the
past week, have booh abandoning tbe
eight hour rale, and to-duy it i? an?
nounced that all are workiug ten hours
a day, without asking iuoreaee of
wages. Builders say this will result in
a very deoidod improvement iu their
business.
Tbe Herald publishes a lettor from
Marshal Buzaioe, addressed to Mr.
Bennett, whioh was received by cable
to-day. Buzaine thanks the Herald for
its impartiality, and tbe American and
English press for its marks of sympa?
thy. Several Americans had wished
to shake him by the hand, aud he felt
deeply touched by their sympathy;
complains of tbe injustice of tbe ver?
dict of the oourt martial, presided
over by a Prinoeof the blood, who had
never conducted military operations
of importance. He looks to time and
history for justification; bitterly re
proaobes MacMahon and makes a long
defence of his own military and politi?
cal course during the late war; ex?
presses gratitude to ex-Presideut
Thiers, who defended him ca his
return from Mexico. As regards
Mexico, the Emperor had to choose
between an evaouation and a war with
the Unitad States; to avoid a conflict,
ho gave the order to return; but Muxi
million was uuwilliug either to return
to Austria or to abdicate, although he
well understood that Napoleon could
not sustain a struggle with the Uuited
States. Muximillian, in spite of wise
counsels, preferred to seek an honora
ble death. Tint is the truth and that
is tho exteut of each one's responsi?
bility. For my cnnsolatiou, the
thought remains that even Washiugtou
did not escape injustice, and that" La
Fayette passed through ordeals more
terriblo than mine. In conclusion,
the Marshal si ?/e: "I am far from beiug
rich, but, besides my liberty, there
still remains to me.nnmeasurable trea?
sures. For a companion I have an
American lady, who gives me strongest
proof of devotion; I have children; I
have a brother and some friends, who
have remained faithful. My position
is not hopeless; if need should be, I
would follow the example and take re?
fuge in labor. A simple soldier, I car?
ried a musket. Labor does not dis?
honor. I do not look on my military
career as ended. I enjoy health and
bodily vigor. Some duties remain to
be fulfilled, und I shall fuifill them
when the time comes. I hope fortune
will grunt me a last smile, as sho often
docs to old soldiers."

How Russia Aided tue NonTii to
Subduethe South.?Few people know
bow deeply indebted tbe Uuited States
is to Russia for kindly services during
the war. It has often been vaguely
whispered that Russian influence pre?
vented the armed interference of
France, and perhaps England, in be?
half of the South. Wouro enabled to
lay before our readers trustworthy iu
formatiou, never before published, in
support of the truth of this rumor.
Whou Gov. Cnrtin, on the eve of his
return to this country, went, iu bis
i capacity as Minister to Russia, to take
formal leave of the Emperor, the latter
closed the conversation substantially
iu these words: *'[ wish, sir, that you
would, npou your return, express m}'
hearty thanks tu the American people
fur the reception they have given my
sou, the Grand Duke Alexis." This,
it will bo remembered, was hhortly
after Geu. Grant had refused to re?
turn Alexis' call, and the latter had
left Washington iu disgust. Gov.
Curtin noticed the Emperor's failure
to seud thanks to the Government as
Well as to the people. He supposed,
tiowcver, that it was a slip of the
tongue, until tbe Empress bade him
farewell in almost precisely the same
words. "I shall be happy," said he,
"to carry your Majesty's thanks to my
Government and people." "lseut my
thanks, hir," the Empress retorted, "to
the people?and onlj' to tbe people,"
Guv. Curtiu afterwards cum plained of
the slight that hud thus been publicly
put upon the* Government he repre?
sented. He was invited by Gurtscha
koff to a uouferouee on tbe subject.
Three books were brought in from the
arobteves of the foreign office. The
first contained an autograph letter
from Napoleon III, asking Russia to
juiu with England aud Franco in
breaking up the Federal blockade and
guaranteeing the independence of the
Confederacy. The letter asserted that
I England had already promised her co
' operation, which was probably a lie.
The second book contained the Empe?
ror's reply. Hm flatly declined tho
alliance proposed by Napoleon, and
declared that, iu tbo event of any
Eurupeaii interference iu the war,
Russia would actively aid the North
The third book bud witlnu it copies of
the sealed order given lo the Russian
Admiral who, as our readers will re?
member, brought his fleet into New
York harbor during the war. The
orders directed him lu proceed at once,
with his whole avuilable force, to N w
York city; to remain at anchorage
tUere (or some time; und, iu the event
of European interference with tho
blockade, to put himself und his whole
I force at the command of the Cabinet
at Washington, aud promiso abundant
and speedy reinforcements. While
Gov. C'irlin stared, dumb-founded, lit
these unexpected proofs of Russia's
Steadfast 0 lelity to die Union cause,
Gortsoiiukoir said tu htm: "Perhaps
you cm appreciate now, sir, why the
Emperor and Empress sent their
thank- to the people who have honored
the Gnind Duke Alexis, und not tu tbe
Government that bus in- n lied him
We saved your country, und uow your
President insults our representative.
It is too much." Cnrtin quite agreed

A Disastrous Fire.?A fire broke
oat last night, ubout a quarter before
12 o'clock, in tbe four-story brick tene?
ment building ou tbe West side of
Meeting street, three doors from tbe
corner of Market street, occupied on
tbe North tenement by Mr. T. S.
Nipson as a shoe store, and on tbo
south by Dr. Baer's drug establish?
ment. Five minutes after the alarm
the whole of Mr. Nipson's store was
in flames, and in a few minutes more
tbe entire tenement was burning. At
1 o'clock this morning both stores had
been completely gutted, and tbe fire
was still burning, but with less vio?
lence, in the rear. The building be?
longed to the estate of Hart; the owner
now residing iu England. Tbe stock
of Mr. Nipson and Dr. Baer was in?
sured. The origin of the fire is un?
known, and it was first observed by a
pasBer-by, who observed the smoke is?
suing from the doors and windows of
Mr. Nipson's store. The stock of both
establishments was entirely consumed.
A sad casualty ooourred between 1 and
2 o'olook, canned by the falling in of
one of the walls of Mr. Nipson's store,
and burying a number of firemen in
tbe ruins. The names of those known
to have been covered up, as far as could
be learned in the confusion, are: Mike
Brown, Joe Johnson, Sum. Hutson
and Stephen Dean, ull colored, and
members of the Frudenoe Fire Com?
pany. Mike Brown was dug out in?
jured, as were two others, names un?
known. Two others were still under
the ruins, and the firemen were using
Herculean efforts to get them out. It
wus supposed that ut least ouo of them
was dead. It was reported that a white
fireman hud also been rescued from the
ruins.

The Population of China. ? The
population of China, notwithstanding
the frightful ravages of tbe great re?
bellion, which in some parts has re?
duced it by one-half, is still marvellous
for tbe amazing figure to which it
reaches. Baron Reicbtofen has esti?
mate.] it at 100,000,000, but the Abbe
Divid, a well-known Chinese explorer,
1 iu a recent communication to the So
cieto de Ueographiu of Paris, declares
this to bo much below tbo real facts.
Raisiug his estimate opon his know?
ledge of tho province of Kiaugsi,
which he flunks below the average, M.
David reckons the population of the
flowery laudat 300,000,000. But for in?
fanticide uud small pox, be believes
tho people would double themselves
every twenty years.
