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?

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.

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.

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."

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

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.

The Population op China.?The

for the amazing figure to which it

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.

of interest to know that three new
shades of color will be introduced this
season, and that two of these fleur de

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

tude. Flowers will uot be worn so
much as last season."
