Boston, Sept. 22.
J the Savannah Liuly Herald.
We have bad a busy week at tbe “bub"
otthe universe, and I, like tbe fly on' tbo
bub of a coacb wheel, am tbe proper person
to make talk about It. Not that I am so
foolish as to suppose, like tbe fly aforesaid,
that I did it all. or even saw it all, for l am
n modest recorder of the events Which tran
spire in this vicinity. But to my mutton:
The NeXT City Hall
was decorated on Mpnday, with appropriate
ceremonies. It is a structure which does
credit 10 a city of the wealth and position
which belong to Boston, and what make* it
more interesting, it was built during the war,
tbe corner stone having been laid in 1863,
when the Union cause looked darker than at
any time before or since. It is built upon
the site of the old one, in about tbe centre of
tbe tortuous ways of this qunijit "14 oky,
flanked on one side by the massive
walls of King's Chapel, which was
built long before the Battle -ot Bunkor '
Hiil was fought, having been used
m a riding school by; the British ofllcera in
Boston the first year. .of. the Revolutionary
war, while in front of it, across School street,
is Parker's Hotel, and behind it is the Court
House, a long grauite structure which looks
like a prison, and in which tile slave Burns
was confined Wlife rendeicd up tit bis owner
on tbe altar of law and order by Boston mil
itia men. The original .estimate of the cost
of the new City Hall, was $160,000, —this
estimate was by a previous Mayor, who sud- (
denly lost his place and the glory of finishing |
the woik he had l«itf rmt soon after the cor- ’
ncr stoue was laid.—but the total expense
when the building is completely furnished,
will spoil the appearance of (t $500,000
greenback. It is of granite, Iron apd black
walnut, elegant outsido and inside, and with
ample room to accommodate tbe business of
the city, for two buudred years, without ta
king into account the destruction of the har
bor, ravages of the cholera, or the predicted
end of Hie world. The dedicatory services
were held on the city's natal day, though
some finishing touches remained *o he given,
and comprised the delivery pf the keys to
iho Mayor, by the Chairman of the Building
Committee, und an address by Mayor, Lin
coln, in which he traced the outlines of the
history of the city, and said the pleasant
things proper on sucli an occasion. And I
guess that is all that will be interesting to
your readers, until you are ready to build a
City Hall for yourselves and bring the cost
within three times tbe estimates.
Tile Mechanic** Fair.
The Fair of the Charitable Mechanic Asso
ciation has been in full blast during the
week, having been opened on the 20lli; l
anticipated something of it, I believe, in my
last letter. The Fair is held in Faneuil Hall
and a very large liali over the Quincy Mar
ket, the two buildings being connected by a
a bridge across the street—the bridge being
itself a part of the exhibition. In Faneuil
Hall the finest and more elegant articles are
displayed, embracing beautiful samples of
Art in various forms, and all that Is most
choice and elegant in onr varied manufac
tures. In the other building—a hall some
9ix hundred feet long—divided into numer
ous sections, and supplied with steam power,
are arranged the coarse productions, and n
great variety of ingenious mechanics which
multiply and simplify production. I cannot
begin to give you a list of tho wonders of
this department, some of the mo9t marvel
lous of which are machines for sewing and
pegging shoes. One machine makes its own
pegs, or irou, and pegs a boot or shoe in a
few seconds. It is already in successful
operation in various towns devoted to the
manufacture of boots and shoes. The fair
continues for three weeks, and so far the at
tendance had been largo every day and
evening. People are coming from all parts
of the country to this Manufacturers’ ex
change, which is for New England, what the
great Paris exchange is intended to be for the
whole world.
Havtlruftiiral Fair,
Under this head we have something com
bining the elements of both the preceding
paragraphs. The Massachusetts Horticul
tural Society, have anew hall which was
dedicated on the IWh, and the Fair continued
through the week. The Hall Uup elegant
granite building on Treraont street, the
heavy character of the material of which it
is composed being relieved by its architec
ture, which gives it a peculiarly light, gtacc
ful and dc, hot,air appearance, eminently ap
propriate to the purpose for which it is de
signed. It cost about $125,000. This also
was built during the war. The exhibition of
vegetables, fruit and flowers is the best ever
made by the Society. The horticultural pro
ductions of eveiy zone arc shown here, fr *m
the pine apple growing on its stem to the little
flowers which suddenly emerge from trctic
snows. The recollection of peaches, pears,
grapes and plums is particularly fine. Shrubs
and plants in pots, and cut flowers are also
plenty. Vegetables of mammoth size ore
seen in their places. Squashes that weigh
from one hundred to one hundred and fifty
seven pound;—that is the weight of the first
premium ; beets of which one never saw the
beat; parsnips, potatoes—common, sweet
and Chinese, <fcc. Some exhibitors have
irons forty to fifty varieties of pears here, and
the same of flowers. This exhibition ap
peals to most of our tastes, and especially to
those of a wealthy population who carry on
fancy gardens in the suburban tow ns for the
fun of the thing, and it is therefore very well
attended.
National Horse Fair.
This fair continues through the week at
Riverside Park, which is pleasantly situated
ou the banks of tbe Charles P.iver, about
five miles from Boston. The number of
horses ou the ground is large, some of the
matches have beeu spirited and fast, and the
lovers of fast horses and tbe gay “gantbo
lieis” on speed have been attracted from all
parts of the country.
Ttae Political Field
in New England presents nothing of much
interest for your leaders. New England is
all one way, with the exception of Con
necticut, wliich is doubtful, and to wbicli all
eyes now are turned.
Tl»c IVenthcr, etc.
Wc are now enjoying fine weather; tbe
theatres and opera houses are in full blast,
and the streets are alive with the gay and
liappy who have just returned from the
watering places. lota.
mOFUAH FOUTZCI.
Curtoas Complication—Tile Murder of a
Cook Hie Pretext for Seizing a Province. :
The excitement respecting the murder of i
rOtt, the French cook of Prince Alfred of
England, by M. Euienburg, a son of a Prus
sian Cabinet Minister, is increasing, and is
likely to lead to political results, it is as
serted that the French Government has ad
dressed a note to tbe Prussian Cabinet in
reference to isle mnrdar of he Ott, which
dwells upon'the feet that France extends her
protection to all her subjects
The follow'ng is the petition now circulat
ing for signature at Strasbourg and in all the
communes of the Department of Bas-Rbin :
PKTITION TO THU FRENCH SENATE.
A murder has been comigitted at Bonn, in
Rbenish Prussia, on the person of M. Ott,
(torn at Strasbourg, 1828, by Count Euleu
burg. That murder lias remaiued unpun-
Uhtd. At the present time the murderer,
who at first was left at large, and afterward
ouly put under Compton arrest, hat*been sent
back to his corp» |o lake part iu Hie Autumn
manocuvers. In presence of such ;i denial of
justice, tlie undersigned fellow countrymen
of tilt, yietirn, penetrated with tbe great prin
ciple ot equality before the law, respectfully
solicit of the Senate an energetic diplomatic
representation, such as shall prove that
France accords hyr prptpctioa to
wliich they have a right in foreign countries.
The Courier du Bas Rhiu publishes this
petition, with an urgent appeal to the inhabi
tants of the department.
This looks very much as if the French
Emperor meditated the execution of the long
cherished French project ot seizing tbe pro
vinces on the Rhine. The murder of Ott
nffords a pretext tor tbe occupation of tbe
country by French troops, as a means for tbe
protection tor French’ subjects, and the ex
citement of the population ou the fi on tier
may have been got up with this view. Louts
j Napoleon is fond of checks and csuuter
guaraniies, and while tbe Prussian vulture
; gorges ou Denmark in the North, he may
seize bis chauce to cut off one of the uuclean
bird's wings ou the other side.
ResolnUoxis of the Colored People of Co
lumbus.
The following resolutions were recently
adopted by the colored people dff Columbus
at the M. E. Church in that city. They ap
pear in the newspapers over the signatures
of a large number of the better class of the
colored population of the city :
I 'o .y Cqi.oxßCS, Sept. 18, 1865.
At a meeting held at the colored M. E.
Church on Monday evening the 18th iust.,
by a portion of the colored pcoplu of litis
community, the following was adopted :
Whereas, Robbery has become so preva
lent lately that we, a portion of the residents
of tbe city ot Columbus, deem it our dftty to
put ourselves right before the community,
and be it
Ist Resolved, That we wilt look upon any
colored person guilty of theft as not being
worthy of notice.
2d Resolved, That we feel it our duty, as
loyal residedts bt the community, to hitcrni
upon any coToied person Who commits a
theft or any other misdemeanor.
3d Resolved, That wc will discard any
colored person, male or female, who com
mits any act detrimental to the well being of
the colored people.
4th Resolved, We will not assist them by
employment, in patronizing them in busi
ness, or aid them in sickness, and we will
not associate with litem', either directly or
indirectly.
On motion, tbe proceedings were ordered
to be published.
Such on the part of the colored
people is highly praiseworthy and deserves
the warmest approval of all.
Ah Important Decision.—Tbe Lebanon
TeDB. Register of tho 14th inst. says: At
the la-t term of the County Court, in the
case of Thompson vs. Young, administra
t r, the court decided that the amendment to
the Constitution was legal and valid. In
1860 Thompson purchased a negro that was
sold under a decree of the county court, and
as no title had been decreed in the case,
Judge Green filed a petition praying the
court to release Thompson from the, pay
ment of the purchase money. Gov. Camp
bell appeared for Young and insisted that
the amendment to the Constitution was ille
gal and consequently nuii and void, and that
slavery still existed in Tennessee. Judge
Green made a very able argument in reply
and showed to the satisfaction of the court
that the amendment to the Constitution was
legal, and slavery was dead in Tennessee.—
After a short consultation the court decided
the sale null and void, and ordered tnc clerk
to cancel Thompson's note and hand it back.
This decision should satisfy the authorities
that the people of Wilson are truly loyal and
willing to sustain t-hp IfiJTI <>f the land.
Conflict of Authority In Louisiana—Ar.
rests by tbe Provost Marshal of Freed
men.
Shreveport, La., Sept. 23, 1865.
Tiie Provost Marshal of Freedmen has ar
rested the Judge, Sheriff. District Attorney
and the Jury of the Tenth Judicial District,
for trying a negro on the charge of larceny.
, The Superintendent of the Freedman says
erisdiction over negroes during the existing
terpretuliou of the civil law belongs exclu
sively to bis bureau. The judge gives
notice of an appeal. /-L
New Orleans, Sept. 23.
It is understood that the Governor, will
not interfere in the conflict of authority at
I Shreveport between the military and civil
! representatives, though in tliat city a case pf
' that kind would most certainly come before,
and be decided by, the regular courts,
f The blacks are being registered in this
city preparatory to the approaching election.
A* thereto no legal authority forth* act,
however, the proceedings is looked upon as
a farce.
There is little doubt but what the State
will have a full and able representation in
Washington on the opening day of the next
session.
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1865.
A CHICAGO CATASTROPHE. !
Kiplo.lon of a Locomotive in a Crowded
i Si reel—House* Shuttered and
Killed. *
j Tnc Chicago papers give detailed accounts
ol the explosion ot a locomotive ou Saturday,
, while backing a freight train on Jefferson
street, near the depol The engine had only |
come from tlie machine shop two days pre 1
viously, where it had undergone repairs.
The cause of the accident is involved in mys- !
tery. It is supposed that it occulted through
i one of the vaives being out of order. |
Tbe side sheet of the flee box first gate
way, being literally torn from tlie bolts. The
crown sheet of the boiler, losing us support, !
was (breed by the explosion out of its glnce’ I
and hurled about fifty feet from the locomo- !
tive. The great force ol tlie explosion lifted j
the engine completely from Ibe track, and
turned it entire’y round. Both the cylinder !
I heads were blown out, and the safety valve,
tbe dome whieb covers it, as well as tlie
smoke stack, carried completely away.
TIIE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
James Finch, tbo engineer, was thrown
some distance from tbe engine and killed in- j
stantaneously. Charles Perry, the special
police oflicer in charge of tbe Northwestern
depot, who was near the spot when the ex- j
plosion took place, approached as soon As j
the smoke cleartd away, and found him !
quite dead. He was not .so greatly disfigured 1
as might have been expected, there being
1 but few wounds of any considerable size to
; Ik- seen upon him.
! Mrs. Esther Dier, a French woman, the i
i wife of William Dier, a conductor on the i
I North Division street railway cars, who re- j
; sides at No. 148 Jeflerson street, met with
- her death in a sudden and awful manner by !
! the explosion. She was standing at the eor
| ner of jeflerson and Hubbard streets, pur l
. chasing tomatoes from a German woman,
| who peddles vegetables on the streets, when
i she was struck with one of the flying missiles.
I The upper portion of her head was complete
! iy struck off; and the brains were scattered
jon tbe grouud. ner left arm was also car
i ried away and alighted in the middleot Hub
; bard street, at some distance from the place.
Strange to say, the other woman, who Stood
close beside Airs. Dier at the moment, es
caped entirely uninjured, but the tomatoes
and other vegetables were scattered in the
ditch by another fragment of tbe boiler—a
: strange exemplification of the words, “the
one shall be taken and the other left.” Mrs.
Dier Is the mother of one little Imy, who is
i 13 years old.
t Robert Caililine, the fireman, was thrown
by the explosion to a distance of some fifty
feet. He was taken up quite insensible by
j Richard Clarke and Henry Wells, anu con
veyed to the Railroad House, where he re
i ceived every attention. He is badly scalded,
and horribly bruised, and but little rope is
a held out lor his recovery
j Albert St. John, a child two years of age,
son of John St. John, a boatman, was play
tog in tbe rear of the bouse No. 146, Jeffer
son street, where his parents reside. There
1 is a narrow- passage separating the premises
No. 146 from the adjoining house, wliich
i was closed at live front by a wooden door.—
1 A piece of the furnace grate, weighing over
one hundred pounds, struck the door, tore
! it entirely away, traversed the whole length
of the passage,’and struck the boy on the
head, injuring him severely, though not fa
tally. Another child who was playing close
by his side was uninjured.
A littie child, whose name is unknown,
was blown from one side of the street to flic
other; but, straDgc to say, with tbe excep
> tion of some disarrangement of its dress, it
I was entirely uninjured.
| Mr. Hcnry'Fclscnthal, a commission mer
chant on Milwaukee nvenue, was standing at
! tbe tront of Messrs. Benton ifc Adams's cotn
! mission warehouse, No. 140 Jefferson street,
at tbe moment of tbe explosion, when some
fragments of the flying wreck struck him in
j the forehead, making a wide gasli ot an inch
1 deep. His nose was split open and laid over
iou each side of his face. He was conveyed
to his residence, where lie was attended by
Dr. Bralnard, who gives little hopes ot his
recovery., , ,
I A little Indian boy, whose name is not
known, bad his leg broken, and was fright
| fully scalded by tbe steam. He was taken
to the house where he resides, on Milwaukee
avenue, where Dr. Hollister attended ou him
and dressed bis wounds.
NARROW ESCAPES.
Several narrow escapes were made by
many of tbe people residing iu tlie vicinity.
Among others may be mentioned that of an
old man who lives in a small house directly
opposite to the spot where the engine was.—
I A heavy piece of iron struck his hat from
his head, grazing his scalp, and alighted on
the pavement behind him.
| A woman who lives in the same house was
' on tlie point of coming out of her door with
a child iu her arms, when her husband see
ing the burst of vapor beginning to ascend,
nnd suspecting what would ensue, dragged
1 her by main loree into the house, tearing her
gown to fragments in tbe effort. She had
| scarcely disappeared when several pieces
of iron struck the ground on the very spot
where she would undoubtedly have stood.
Airs. Ford, residing at No. 150 .Jefferson
street, was somewhat injured by fragments
of tlie wreck, which struck her on the side
of the head above the left temple, iter left
arm being slightly bruised. Her little girl
; was knocked down, but hot much hurt,
i Mrs. McQuade, who was in the Same
house, was scalded considerably, but not
, severely injured.
THE DWELLINGS NEAR THE SCENE OF THE
, CATASTItOFHE.
The dwelling-houses around the scene of
the catastrophe were much damaged by the
dreadful shower of iron which was precipita
ted in every direction. They were all frame
buildings, and in some Instances the fronts
were splintered in several places, while a
great many of the windows were utteily de
molished. Those nearest to the engine were
blackened from i oof to basement, and pre
sented much the same appearance as if they
had just been burnt by fire. The interior of
these dwellings presented woful scenesof
ruin, and the inmates, being poor, struggling,
honest people, were sadly put out of sorts,
and looked at the wreck of their poor house
hold goods with a kind ol dreamy stupefac
tion, us If they were unable to realize what
had actually taken place.
' Th* F.vec ut lon of Barrios , Ei Prrsldtnt of
•an Safvado.
Gerardo Barrios, formerly President of
Bin Salvador, was the vietim’of a revolt of
certain of his people, aided, it is alleged, by
tbe army of Guatemala. He tied from his
capital in 1803, and Duenas was elected
President in bis stead. Barrios came to this
country, where he made many friends Two
or three months ago ho started to return to
lead a revolt which bad been organized in
his favor. While be was on the sea, liia ad
herents were touted in a battle with tbe
forces of Dnctms. The vessel in which he
embarked was struck by lightning, and
obliged to put into the port of Rsalejo, Nica
ragua. The United States Consul there de
clared that the vessel’s papers were forgeries,
and she was seized by the Nicaraguan gov
ernment, It appears there js an extradition
treaty between Nicaragua and Sun Salva
dor i and the latter power demanded tbe pos
session of Barrios. The Nicaraguan author
ities gave bin; up with the express stipula
tion that his life should be spared, and Barri
os was conveyed a prisoner to the capital
where so recently he bad been the chief
magistrate. Here he was tried by court
martial, and, notwithstanding tbe stipulation
with Nicaragua, wm sentenced to death. Tbe
unforlnnote man, having been told about
midnight of the 28th ultimo, that ho bad but
six hours to live, proceeded to tlie prison
chapel where he spent some time in religi
ous preparation, attended by the Bishop
Saldano. Here also he made his will. At
half-past four on the morning of the 29th,
Barrios was conducted to the scaffold,escort
ed by a small military force. The sentence
was again read, and the bishop cxiiorled aud
prayed with the condemned man. Barrios
bade farewell to several frientfc aud charged
Gen. Gonzalez with the care of his remains.
He requested li'm confessor to have a mass
snid quietly ami without pomp lor tbe re
pose ol his soul, aud then met death with
entire resignation. According to ids last re
quest his body was interred iu tlm church
called Del Calvorio.
KING UOTTOA UKriIHU.VED.
The London Times of a recent date pub
lishes some statements showing the great
changes in the cotton trade produced by tbe
war, which falsify all the predictions that
claimed for cotton a supremacy that noth
ing could impair. Instead of cotton being
King, its throne lias been nearly subverted
The Times says .
“Our imports have now reached neatly
nine hundred million hundred weights, or
nearly three-quarters of what they were at
the climax of the cotton trade iu iB6O ; our
exports are only six millions short of the
amount in that famous year. But if the gross
amount of the trade is "recovering its former
condition, nothing can be more remarkable
than the revolution wliich has taken place in
its course.
“In 1860 the United States sent us the
enormous sum of 1,115 million hundred
weights ot cotton out of a total of 1,390 mil
lions. In 1864, out of a total of 893 millions,
tbe United BtatesveDt us only 14 millions,
and India, which sent us in 1860 only 200
millions, sent us last year 506 millions. India,
in fact, ss now the principal source of the
cottou supply, and occupies a place utile in
terior in proportion to that which was form
erly occupied by the United States. Other
countries, however, display the influence ot
the same stimulus.
“An increase in the value of our imports
from Egypt of front sixteen to nineteen mil
lions sterling is due almost entirely to au in
crease in the cultivation of cotton. China
has added 315,000 hundred weights, or more
than three millions in value, to tlie amount
of her importation ; and, though tlie amount
received trora Japan is small, It lias increas
ed in the enormous ratio of 1,290 per cent.
Tlie high price of cotton has attracted from
many countries the re-exportation to our
shores oi the stocks they had imported for
themselves, and this part,which was thought
so difficult to raise and so delicate that we
could not endure tbe failure of our American
supply, uow comes to us probably from more
parts of the world than tuy other article of
commerce.''
Some curious experiments are tried in
Europe to save tbe lives ot animals attacked
with the cattle disease. A cow belonging to
Miss Burden Coutts was dosed with “eight
botlies of whisky, twelve doses of braudy,
thirty bottles of port wine nnd other strong
drinks." Tbe animal recovered from the
distemper, but died ot delirium tremens.
