TelcBraiUUr-Amertcaii Mauer?. St. Paul, Minn., September 11.? Gen. Ouster's final official report to Gen. Terry reoapitalates his former statements, and takes strong ground in favor of tbe.immediate opening up of the Black Hills for military reasons. He endorses the report of gold disco? veries, and suggests further explora? tions next season. Nevertheless, Pro? fessors Winchell and Donaldson assort that Gen. Caster does not know, of his own knowledge, that any color of gold was found in the Black Hills. VlOKSBOBO, September 11.?Several days ago a call for a meeting of former soldiers of the Union and Con? federate armies waS published, stating that the-purpose was to foster and en? courage kindly relations between the soldiers of the lato war, aud to form a bond of mutual friendship and good feeling. Several preliminary meetings held were attended by representatives of both armies, those of the Uuion 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 au association, to be known as the Order of Blues and Grays. The epeeohes delivered were indicative of tbe utmost good feeling and relief at tins public acknowledgment of a break in tho dark cloud of prejudice which has been oppressing all alike. New York, September 11.?Moul ton's final statement is published to-day. It fills twenty columns, is very decisive in tone, and utterly dis? proves Beeoher's charges of black? mail. It eon tains other and more startling statements than those hereto? fore published, ' and. would seem to leave Beecher no alternative but to "step down and out." Many of the details given in tbe statement are ut? terly unfit for publication. Among the letters printed is a note enclosing a oheok, aud directing Moulton to ubu it at bis discretion. Another is a friendly note, makiug an appointment. In it Beeoher sends his love to Mrs. Emma Moulton, and writes how dreadfully neur the point she speaks sometimes. One letter from Mrs. Tilton's mother is produced, in which she addresses Beeoher as "my dear son," and asks him to pay her rent. She refers to his (Beeohbr's) secret, and says that only six persons know it. She writes of Elizabeth's borne 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 Beecher gave to him for his adultery with Mrs. Tilton, namely this: that this physical expression of love was as natural as the word* of endearment he used . towards her. Thie, Moulton says, was the first enunoiation of the doctrine of froe Ice that he had ever heard, and it therefore became impressed on his memory. Mfmphis, September 12 ? The per? son charged with implication in tbe Trenton affair has been bronght here by the Eedejal guard, to be examined by the United States Commissioner. New York, September 12 ?Ply? mouth Cburoh 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, informed he congregation that their pastor was cheerful and unmoved by the slanders, and was coming back on the 1st Octo? ber to udBnme his duties with greater efficacy than ever. One gentleman prayed that Beeoher's enemies might be pat to shame. A tng fouled the hawser of the steamer Cuba, as she was entering the dooks, forcing 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 the Herald, which thinks Moulton's new charges require an answer. The Times and Herald say the charges of black? mail against Moulton are overthrown. Tho Sun cannot see that the statement adds any conclusive testimony to what was iu tbe oase before. The Tribune, World and Times express similar opi? nions. Mendelssohn, who was convicted of forgery, yesterday, took arsenic last night, and died this morning. Lewis G. Frenoh, Secretary of tbe Palisade Insurance Company, was ar? rested yesterday, on a charge of fraud committed in Jersey City, in default of $5,000 bail. Owing to the pressure of the times, masons, bricklayers, hod-carriers and helpers in Jersey Oity, Bergen, Hud sou City aud Hobokun, duriug tbe past week, have boon abandoning tbe eigbt hour rale, and to-day it is an? nounced that all are workiug ten hours a day, without asking increase of wages. Builders say this will result in a very decided improvement in their business. The Herald publishes a let tor from Marshal Bazaioe, addressed to Mr. Bennett, which was received by cable to-day. Buzaiue thanks the Herald lot its impartiality, and the American and English press for its marks of sympa j thy. Several Americans had wished I to shake him by tbe band, and he felt deeply touched by their sympathy; complairj3 of the injuBtioe of tbe ver? dict of tbe court 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? proaches MaoMabon and makes a long defence of his own military and politi? cal oonrse during the late war; ex? presses gratitude to ex-President Thiers, who defended him on his return from Mexico. As regards Mexico, the Emperor had to ohoose betweea an evacuation and a war with the United States; to uvoid a conflict, ho gave the order to return; but Muxi millian was unwilling either to return to Austria or to abdicate, although he well understood that Napoleon could not sustain a struggle with the Uuited States. Maxiuiillian, in spite of wise counsels, preferred to seek an honorn ble death. That is tbe truth and that is the extent of each one's responsi? bility. For my consolatiou, the thought remains that even Washiugtou did not escape injustice, and that* La Fay otto passed through ordeals more terrible tban mine. In conclusion, tbe Marshal save: "I am far from being rioh, bat, 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 uot look on my military career as ended. I enjoy health und bodily vigor. Some duties remain to be fulfilled, und I shall fulfill them when the time comes. I hope fortune will grunt me a last smile, as she often does to old soldiers." Des Moines, September 11 ?The women's suffrage convention yester? day adopted resolutions pledging them? selves to support temperance candi? dates, aud appealing for suffrage at the ballot-box, as the most effected means of aiding temperuuee. Bishop Haveu, in a speech, endorsed tbe movement and advocated female suffrage. Statjnton, Va , September 12.? This moruiug, Father Daun l Downey, a deposed priest of tbe Catholic Church, died suddenly here. Ho was deposed tweuty years ago, for the kill? ing of Win. McMullen, whom be was trying to force to marry a young girl seduced by McMullen. l'bo killing was douo with a pistol in uu alterca? tion, and Downey was tried for mur? der, but acquitted, ou the ground of self-defence. Of lute yerrs, he has been u school-teacher, and for tbo last few months, a United States store? keeper. He was a man of learning aud good social qualities. St. Louis, September 12 ?At the ratification meeting, Carl Schurz de? clared the movement bud bis earnest sympathy. He* approved all portions of the platform that bore upon State affairs, but was sorry to see tbe con? vention on the fence about finances. He would support tbe nominees of the people's convention, and disavowed any personal interest in tbe matter. Chargeston, September 12.?Ar? rived?Steamship Columbia, New York; schooner Walter F. Baker, New York. New Orleans, Septomber 11.?A number of the creditors of tbe Citi? zens' Bank have met uud adopted re? solutions expressing confideuoe in that institution. The President of the bank has sent a letter to tbe Governor, begging him not to prosecute the claims of the State against that insti? tution, and assuring bim that the as? sets of the bank fur excoed its liabili? ties. Tbe Governor, in response, stated that he could take no steps in the matter, und it had to bo referred to the Attorney-General and his opi? nion obtained. St. Louis, September 12?Post master-General Jewell advertises, to? day, through the papers horo a reward of $5,000 for tho arrest of the parties who committed what is known ns the Gad's Hill robbery, in' this State, ou the 31st Jauuary last, and ?3,1)00 re? ward for the arrest of the robbers of the Sin Antonio stage, in Texas, in April last.

The employees of the Beading Bail road here and along the lino of the road will, next week, be put ou half time, working two weeks out of a mouth, at eight' hoars per day, ou ac? count of tho general stagnation of trade. Montgomery, September 12.?Ex Uuitod States Distriot Attorney J. A. Minuis and ex-Congressman Buckley have written letters, and Uuited States Deputy Marshal Randolph, Probate Judge Ely and Oity Clerk Hughes unite in a oard, denying the stories of lawlessness and terrorism whioh have been circulated North, to tbe prejudice of Montgomery. All these gentlemen are Republicans. Not long ago, E. Keils, Judge of the Oity Court of Eufaula, reloaded from arrest, without bood, a negro, charged with assault to murder. ? The negro fled, and baB not been beard from since. Oertain Citi? zens of Eufaula thereupon proceeded against Keils for aiding and, abetting the escape of a felon.

How Russia Aided the North to Suddubthb South.?Few people know bow deeply indebted tbe Uuited States is to Russia for kindly services duriug the war. It has often been vaguely whispered that Russian influence pre? vented the armed interference of France, and perhaps Eugluud, in be? half of tbe South. We uro enabled to lay before our readers trustworthy iu formatiou, never before published, in support of the truth of this rumor. When Gov. Our tin, on the eve of his return to this couutry, went, in bis capacity as Minister to Russia, to take formal leave of the Emperor, the latter closed tbe conversation substantially iu these words: "I wish, sir, that you would, upou your return, express my hearty thanks to the American people for the reception they have given my sou, the Grand Duke Alexis." This, it will he reo<euiberod, wits shortly after Gen. Grant hud refused to re? turn Alexis' call, aud tho hitter bad left Washington iu disgust. Gov. Curtm noticed tbe Emperor's failure to send thanks to the Government us well as to tbe people, lie supposed, however, that it was a slip of the tongue, uutil the Empress bade him farewell ill almost precisely the same word.-. "I shall bo happy," Baid he, "to carry your Majesty's thanks to my ! Government and people." "I sent my thanks, sir," the Empress retorted, "lo the people?aud only to tbe people." Gov. Girtiu afterwards coujplaiued of the slight that had thus been publicly put upon the Government he repre? sented. He was iuvi'ed by Gortsohu koff to a conference on tbe subject. Three books were brought in from the arobieves of the foreign ollieo. The first contained an autograph letter from Napoleon III, asking Russia to joiu with Eugluud and France in breaking up the Federal blockade aud guaranteeing the independence of the Confederacy. The letter asserted that Eugluud bud already promised her co? operation, which was probably a lie. Tbesecoud book contained tho Empe? ror's reply. Hh flatly declined tho alliance proposed by Napoleon, and declared that, iu tho event of any European interference iu the wai, Russia would uot'vely aid the North The third book had within it copies of the sealed order given to tbe Russian Aduiirul who, as our roaders will re? member, brought bis fleet into New York harbor during the war. The orders directed bun to proceed .it once, with his whole available force, to N w York city; to remain ut anchorage there (or s.mie time; and, in the event of European interference with tho blockade, to put himself nud his whole force ut tbe command of the Cabinet at Washington, and promise abundant und speedy reinforcements. While Gov, Cmm stared, dumb-founded, ut 11 "so unexpected proofs of Russia's steadfast ? lelity to the Uuion cause, GorlttCildkuff said to him: "Perhaps yon em appreciate now, sir, why the Emperor und Empress sent their thank? to the people who have honored the Grand Duke Alexis, and not to the Government that bus intuited him We saved your couutry, and now your President insults our representative. It is 100 much." Ourtin quite agreed with him, and tho interview enden1 We have every rea-on to trust the geutleui.i) from whom we have re? ceived ibis story. It will probably b. found substantially comet, although there may, of course, bo errors 111 de lull. ? Qhic igo Tribune..

A Disastrous Finn.?A fire broke out last night, about 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 oorner of Market street, occupied on tbe North tenement by Mr. T. S. Nipson as a shoe store, and on tho South by Dr. Baer's drng establish? ment. Five minutes after the alarm the whole of Mr. Nipson's store was in flames, aud in a few minutes more ! the entire tenement was burning. At | 1 o'clock thin morning both stores had been completely gutted, and the fire was still burning, but -with less vio? lence, in the rear. The building be? longed to the eatate of Hart; tbe owner now residing in England. Tbe stock of Mr. Nipson and Dr. Buer was in? sured. Tbe origin of the fire is un? known, and it was first observed by a passer-by, who observed the smoke is? suing from tho doors and windows of Mr. NipBon's store. The stock of both establishments was entirely consumed. A sad casualty ocourred between 1 and 2 o'olook, caused by tbe falling in of one of the walls of Mr. Nipson's store, and burying a number of firemen in the ruins. The names of those known to have been covered up, as farasooold be learned in the coo fusion, are: Mike Brown, Joe Johnson, Sam. Hutson and Stephen Dean, all colored, and members of tbo Prudence Fire Com pauy. 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 oat. It wus supposed that ut least one of them was dead. It was reported that a white fireman hud also been rescued from the ruins. 1 Charleston News and Courier, 12th. The Population op China.?The population of China, notwithstanding the frightful ravages of the great re? bellion, which in some parts has re? duced it by one-balf, is stilt marvellous for the amazing figure to which it reaches. Baron Reichtofen has esti? mated it at 100,000,000, but the Abbe Divid, a well-known Chinese explorer, iu a recent communication to the So cieto de Ceographiu of Paris, declares this to be much below tbo real facts, liaising his estimate npou his know? ledge of tbo province of Kiaugsi, which be thiuks below i ho average, M. David reckons the population of tho flowery laudut 300,000,000. But for in? fanticide uud small-pox, he believes tho people would double themselves every twenty years. A New York letter says: "It may be of interest to know that three new shades of color will be introduced this season, and that two of these fleur de sou/re, (dower of sulphur,) a peculiar yellow, uud cardinal, u handsome red, will probably be very fashionable. The other color . is called volcanic. Also, that autumn's bounds will have very low crowns, but the trimmings, which will bo iu most cases placed iu front, will add materially to their alti? tude. Flowers will uot be worn so much as last season." Church Dedication ?The new Methodist Church in this place will (D. V.J he dedicated to tho service of God on Sunday, tho 20t,h iust. The Rev.

Carlisle and Dr. Smith are ex? pected? Winnsboro News. The boys tell a good joko on the Rome, Ga , Railroad, which is just six? teen miles long, to this effect: That a man left a horse to be shipped to Kingston, for which they ohurged ten dollars. When they tried to get tho horse iu tho car he wouldn't go iu. So the agent gave a negro a dollar to ride him over, and then made him pay the dollar to ride on tho cars back to Rome. They also colleoted the ten dollars from the owner of tbe horse. Grain.?The New York Bulletin re? marks ou the graiu subject: Putting together tho result of tbo world's h ir ve.-ts, there can be no doubt that it is oue of Very remarkable abuudance, perhaps we may say oue of the most liberal ever kuown; but, iu estimating its bearing on the prospective value of grain, proper weight must be attached to the exceptionally low couditiou of stocks the world over.

He was the person who captured John H. Snrratt, for whom the. Government offered a reward of $25.000. St. Ma? rie, however, got bat $10,000, and a snit in bis behalf for the remainder is now pending in the United States Su? preme Court. "Mrs. Grant is not to be called a homely woman, of course; but it ia quite certain that she ia not, either, a very handsome woman. A defect in one of her eyes, which is commonly known as oro3s-eyednes9, injures her lookB very mnob." So says an able correspondent. "What should a man do?" askod a gentleman of a lady, "when he has an opportunity to correspond with a charming woman, but, being a bache? lor, is a little afraid of snoh business?" "I, should say to him, do write," an? swered the lady. Emigrants can't go West any more by paying the "cost of axle grease." The competition between the trank lines is over and the fare from New York to Cbioago, wbioh was five dol? lars a few days ago, is now thirteen dollars. The Detroit Free Press says: "John Fork lent a stranger a dollar at Rich? mond in 1850, and the other day the stranger paid him back $20,000." Hereafter, then, when asked for a dol? lar by e stranger, we shall always see John Fork over. "A delicate lady who went to the White Sulphur Springs on a mattress, was so restored to. health that she married a man worth $200,000."
