10, 1S67 From our Evening Edition of Yesterday. 1 QP There were 96 interments reported to the Board of Health this morning tor the 24 hours ending yesterday at 6 P. M. Of these, there were 64 deaths from yellow fever. XW The Crescent City Railroad Company have been authorized by the Common Council to extend its line on the neutral ground on Canal street to Camp street.

17 The New Orleans United States Military Band, which will be remembered as discoursing elegant music in Lafayette and Coliseum Squares before the advent of the present epidemic, was composed of twenty six musicians. Of this number twenty four have had the yellow fever, and nine have died. This baud has certainly suffered. We are again called upon to mourn the adop ana highly esteemed citizen of New Orleans. Quiet and unobtrusive in his manners, he had formed a large circle of warm and attached friends, whose sorrow at his demise in the very prime of life, will be deep and heartfelt.

His funeral will take place this evening at 3 o'clock from the residence of Robert Pitkin, Ke. 236 Philip street, between Coliseum and Chestnut. A Relic of jthe Past. In the yard of the City Hall stands an image that has been a puzzle to us. It is rudely carved from granite, and represents a squatty little figure of no very graceful proportions looking like some old Egyptian or Mexican idol.

It must be some relic of a barbarous age, and is a most interesting object, furnishing food for contemplation and speculation. The statue is evidently that of a woman, and proves that the present style of waterfall is rather a modification than an exag geration of the manner in which hair was worn in the centnries when Heathens In their blindness Bowed down to wood and stone for the back of the head is ornamented by a huge fan like structure, that when worn by the dark eyed maternal ancestors of "Tie glorious Sorceress of the Nile," must have presented a very imposing aspect. We would advise Auge" to pay a visit to this strange object, and guarantee that a waterfall gotten up on the model referred to would prove an unfdiling source of revenue. Useless Expenditure. The resolution of Mr.

Jeubert, of the Assistant Board of Aldermen, last night, in regard to the appointment of a physician at a salary of $200 per month, whose duty it should be to attend the indigent sick, and also for the selection of druggists to supply the necessary medicines, struck us as most uncalled for and unwise. We have no physicians in our city who would not gladly attend to the indigent sick and but few druggists who wonld refuse medicines for such a purpose. We willingly publish the subjoined card, from Mr. Pope, who, ne doubt, expresses the sentiment of every honest druggist in New Orleans New Oeleahs, 9, 1867. To the Editors of the Picayune: i that the Board of Assistant Aldermen propose to elect an apothecary for aeh district at a salary of $200 per month for oe month, I beg leave to state that I am pre 1 pared to save tha eity that expense on the part of tha Fourth District and hereby offer te furnish with medicines all tha poor whom the Iloward Association cannot supply, and who might otherwise fall to the charge of the city, free of cost Respectfully, Jobs H.

Imagine the good effect of the withdrawal of this amount of specie from, our scanty circulation, with the Spanish bank bills at a discount of 1 te IV.

per and what little coin remains au filed off to the tune of two and even three dollars less from the standard weight Com plaints avail nothing, because our authorities remain impassible to everything transpiring about as long as their outrageous demands be forthcoming. The well meaning citizens are aeterrea irom the injudicious practice of devising any scheme to relieve the present hard times, laying np in store an age of plenty for the future, by the violent opposition made by the Prensa and Diario, openly supported bv the authorities since they muffled up the Siglo and as an illustration, I shall cite the following: Mr J. B. Luna proposed forming a joint stock company for supplying our planters with laborers from Spain, Ireland and Germany, on a liberal footing to both contracting parties. The Prensa takes up the matter, arguing that only Spaniards are deserving being brought, because they have been the civilizers of this continent from the start, giving impulse to agriculture, commerce, even coiner so far as to contribute to the im provement of the breed, or, in other words, whiten our race.

The Siglo, our champion, wanted to rebuke the impudence, and wrote three smashing leaders, but could not pass the censure, therefore, gave it up, allowing it to crow with perfect impunity, to the detriment of our dignity and fair fame abroad. The foreign Consuls have moved in the matter concerning the interests of their re specuve subjects, threatened inrtner Dy tne last arbitrary measures of the Director de Administration, with regard to vessels manifests, by proscribing the term to order."

The election was creating a livplv interest in all circles, though the opposition organs bitterly denounce Juarez, as usual. Some new journals have been started on aocount of the coming elections. The rails on the track from Vera Cruz to Fuebla are daily removed by evil doers, probably with the intent to pilfer travelers. Xbe hospital of San Andre's was in course of being demolished. The condition of the political nrisonera was made better by orders from the Chief Mdgis ixaie.

The orders for the convention were still bitterly denounced. Affairs in TamDico'ars verv unsettled ll those who can get away do so, through many perils and hardships. The same is the state of affairs in Qaerltaro. Accounts from Fuebla represent that city as pestered by most desperate gangs of rob hers, all prowling about the environs, and making attacks on life and property. J.

Address of the Coiisercativa of AUHxima We extract the following paragraph from the address of the Conservative Convention of Alabama to tbe people of the United States "We tell you fellow citirene, that other and higher interests than those of the moment are at stake in the mighty issues of the hour. The white race in America is about to forfeit by the machinations ot a party, its hereditary supremacy over tbe black race in our country and to take an inferior scale of pub Vfe The Principles of these military bilhv if engrafted upon, and perpetuated in, the policy of the country will subject the white to the denomination of the' black race not only in tbe 8outh, but, virtually, by means of a black balance of power, throughout the whole Union. The white race, then, both North and South, is called to defend Itself, by united efforts and energies, against this bold and avowed attempt to humiliate and degrade it To the white race, then, North a well as South, we appeal to come to the rescue of oar race."

KO. X. i Special Corresi ondence ol the Picayune. At the Passes, Oct 7, 1867. Thursday morning dawned upon us with a threatening appearance, yet no one here seemed to think we were drawing ao near to hurricane.

Friday, however, gave surer tokens. The wind varied durins the early part the day from 8. E. te N. and blew in gusts with drizzling rain the barometer fell to 50.

The sea outside bobbed up and down. and the tugs came in, and by 3 clock all the pilot boats came in and anchored under the lee, on the east side of the river. The river was terribly agitated, ana irom various sagas now became evident that a terrific storm was not tar distant, but still in hopes the wind would haul N. and after blowing for an. hour or so, clear tip.

At 3 P. M. the telegraph station hoisted signals to tha vessels, Prepare for a hurricane." Night shut in early and dismal, the wind steadily increasing, and the squalls being heavier, and following each other in rapid succession. At midnight, it blew a fearful gale, the barometer falling with unaccustomed celerity. At 3 o'clock Saturday morning the dark sky became inky black, and a half hour later the hurricane burst in all its fury, the barometer indicating at that moment 28.80.

This poor pen is inadequate to paint the picture. The river was lashed into a seething foam; the logs and debris which lined the western shore came tumbling in over the marsh, and before they brought np they were a hundred yards from the rivei sans, wnerex was looaieu, the boats were hauled oat on high platforms. One of the larsest was blown from its fasten ings over a wood pile three feet high, landing in the marsh right side up. Another boat was washed up near the house. Fortunately twn other boats were filled with water and escaped unhurt.

The lookout and signal staff on the telegraph station went by the board earlv in the sale. The lofty mast at the wharf end came down, and the place looked like a wreck in a few minutes. There were at anchor in the river the fol lowing vessels Ship Merchant, Spanish bark Carmen, tne areage pilot ooaw uutia, neu son, Bruce, Eclipse and sloop Louis Geran, tugs Spy, Republic, Equator, Norman, Te cumeeh and Heroine all with two anchors down and a long scope of chain. Of their various experiences I cannot write just now, because it Is blowing too fresh for me to go to them, but I will now locate them in order as they lie The Spanish bark Carmen is ashore near the coal barge, (F Line) the Merchant is alongside her, the coal barge is sunk next comes the pilot boat Robt Bruce No. 1 sunk; just below is the dredge, bow under next the pilot boat A.

B. Neilson, uninjured, I think; next the Heroine, just below the telegraph wharf, she has some water in her and her fires are out the Spy, which rode the gale out nicely, is alongside' of her, but she has been damaged in her houses by collision with the Bruce next, well up in the marsh, is the pilot boat Gen. Jackson, and within six feet of her is the pilot sloop Louis Geran. When the tide is out they will be high and dry. The sloop may prove a total loss, as she was strained before she parted her ehains.

A mile and a half below lies the EclipsejWell piled up in the mud. The Eauator anchored in mid river a half mile below us and rode it out nicely. In fact, all of the Line are uninjured. At 6 A. M.

Saturday the barometer had risen to 29.00 at 9 o'clock to 29.25 showing that the force of the hurricane was spent; yet it continued to blow sohird, accompanied with heavy rain, that it was impossible to see anvthinsr. This morning the Spy came down to the Heroine. A man alone in a boat was discovered about 10 A. M. drifting down the river First he passed the Republic at anchor fail ins to get over there he steered for the steam ship Gen.

Grant, which had just come down and anchored. Although failing to board her, he was allowed to drift by withoat an at tempt being made to save him. The pilots had a fine, able whale boat alongside, yet she was not manned and sent in pursuit The only chance now for the poor, helpless mor ta.1 was to era mile the Eauator. Again he BmaA rP i a tn cr quietly watched him sail on to a watery ing down tbe river crossed the bar, and ont at sea picked up the man and the boat and brought them safely back. I will say no more.

Let those who could and did not go to the poor fellow's rescue think of this, and possibly one of these fine days they may be in a similar plight then they will scream with fear and think of the scene which we record. I would no own their feelings for a million. Capt. Sturdevant is deserving the kindly consideration of every man who values the hie of a human being. AU honor to such men as he.

ins juniata came down to day and an chored as soon as 6he came near the Gsn Grant; that whaleboat was manned and pulled lustily to get the outward pilotage of uie euii. me cusiom nuuse ooat came out into the river to get some officers who cams down in the Grant, and she was obliged to De towea oacx, tne jNoruiau perlorining the service. At the preeent writing it is impossible to estimate tne damage dooe here. We are very auxious aooui our neigooora at fasa a i Uutre, fear a sad tale from there. The telegraph une is aown, so we cannot near.

Tne (joad Intent Company's tug T. C. Jewett was sent around Friday afternoon to stay by them, and were in nopes tne tug rerry was there also It is said here that three houses and the association boat shed were blown down at Pilot Town. Capt. Levine was badly hurt by the falling of one of the houses.

John Hood's house, next to the telegraph station, is almost in ruins. I will stop here to awtui junner particulars. P. S. The afternoon promises no better weather, and the end of the gale is now question oi time, as I write, 1 see a naBty oireun in me soutowesc, ana tne iffy is dark, damp veil of mist.

The wind howls spitefully around the house, and bends the steamers' smoke clouds close down to the foaming bosom cf the mnddv river. A fear clumsy pelicans are struggling against the wind, or sailing with it; now and again, a half drowned blackbird attempts to rise from the broken reeds, only to be beat back and return to his shelter. Patter, patter, goes the rain against tne lew panes ot glass left to me. a stove without a pipe vainly endeavors to ary a room. The honse is filled with amnke The only dry and then only half dry clothes j.

imvo are on my oacK tnose around me are even worse off. I had to swim some distance mis morning to get past a point near my land' mg wharf. To say that I am tired and weary, but illy conveys my feelings, but 1 know the Picayune muBt keep posted, and I would not be v. L. u.

if 1 did not fulfill my engagements. P. Barometer 30.07. The clouds are a little thinner, the wind met as stormv and still E. N.

with squalls at intervals of an half hour. Occasionally a spat of rain. I dont think the weather will clear up until the wind hauls aroand with he sun" or to the southward. The steamers Gen. Grant, Juniata, and a Morgan steamer are at anehor inside, the pilots refacing to take them outside, they cancot get back with their small boats.

The Norman and Equator are along side the Juniata, to aid her if the gale should increase. Good night Jo. C. Fcss. The Editorial Ereurtion.

The Chicago Republican, of the 5th, says: The Executive Committee of the Rocky Mountain Expedition announces that the editorial excursion party will leave this city Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, instead of at 3, as previously announced. President Black stone and General Superintendent Beale, of the Chicago, Alton and St Louis road, have kindly tendered the use of two of the superb cars running on that line to be used on the tripi Superintendent Sargent, of the Michigan Central road, has also offered the use of a fine car. The editors going on the excursion are rapidly arriving, and it bids fair to be larger than anticipated. The Cotton, JTbr. Hon.

H. V. Johnson, of Georgia, takes the ground that the cotton tax is unconstitutional, and advises its non payment He is making ap a case to test the question in the courts. A large number of suite have been put into his bands He receives half the amount of tax that he can keep from the Government Letter from Fenxul Breeial Correspondsaee of the T.iwriRTirBL TTjliinri I ant rnnL w. mnat hnantifnl Viiohlv rnltivm tA the populous portion of this great StaUuj1 th An ojh in this mat haaUffer and arable land there are continuous and farms.

The aim outlines of thi AQegnanies border with the faintest ia.tmir brae nonxon tne Dounaarr i vision. Abroad overfall this lovely com tbere is an unequaiea sunace ox.spie farming lands, whose wealth of fa herb age is incalculable, uorn is tun being nar vested and the crop is very gratifying. The past summer was very wet and severe on crops, yet the yield is equal to that of the best years. The wheat crop of this section was extraordinary in quality and amount, but for some unaccountable cause the price of flour remains at the extraordinary figures of 914 per barrel. All kinds or produce rate very nigh and there is no prospect of an early reduction.

This old city has comparatively a very dull appearance, notwithstanding there are not less than twenty five passenger trains and a greater number of freight trains pass daily through the city. Six railways are in eight from tbe court house, and they come from and go to every point of the compass. The new railway enterprises of the age, however, are for the mere local advantage of easy communication with adjacent villages, coal and iron mines, etc The only nickel mine on this continent is in this vicinity. This city is especially noted for being the residence of ex President James Buchanan and Thad. Stevens.

Yesterday 1 visited the former at his residence Wheatland, which is situated a mile west of the city. His home is a plain old fashioned brick house, with a large doorway and hall in the centre. A small portico is before the door and steps lead up to it from three sides. The house is plainly but very substantially and comfortably furnished, and there is nothing offensive to the visitor in any of the surroundings. The lawn occu pies eight or ten acres be tore tne nouse ana is beautifully garnished with stately oaks and smaller trees and shrubs.

It is assiduously cared for by careful hands, and wears au air of comfort and modest simplicity that accords well with the habits and manners ot tne proprietor. All the surroundings, however, indicate that affluence, ease and comfort are enjoyed by the great man who makes his home within its precincts. Mr. Buchanan has absolutely retired irom politics and does not take any interest in the Policies and actions of parties. He says they ave gone beyond his comprehension, and as his counsels are not ot any avail ne aoes not miogle or exert any influence.

He thinks that the exigencies of the times demanded of him an explanation of his actions and the effects of his administration, hence the necessity of his book and in it he ettectually settles every point, instifies his conduct, and rests contented in the consciousness of having done only what was demanded of him as an honest ruler and faithful magistrate. The present distracted condition of the country and the unhappy po sition of affairs in the South distresses him, as it does every lover of his country but a fa natical cartv has the power to rale in its hands and he cannot see the result It cer tainly is not progress that it aims at, for de struction seems to ioiiow everyimng touches. He thinks that the terms that were agreed on bv Gens. Joe Johnston and Sher man at the time of the surrender were the best and wisest that could have been fol lowed. Mr.

Buchanan has been very feeble latterly He lives very retired, and is enjoying as much as Dossible the utter auiet and rest necessary to a mellow old age. lie is exceedingly affable and genial to visitors, and very fond of chatting with them, when hie health allows. He ex ureeses the kindliest wishes toward South era people, and earnestly extends to them his good will, and hopes that they may quickly be relieved from their distress, and become Droaoerous and happy. Dnring the past two weeks, Thad. Stevens has been very ill.

The leaders ot his party are very anxious concerning bis recovery There is much devilment to be worked up during the winter, and his ponderous intellect iuui hruja Krain ara naeaaaary to the urnrlr There is no gamsayingtueimmeawut is not ny other leader of the Jacobin Radicals, tie is not only dishonest, but per fectly onscrnpolons, and therefore does not 5., hesitate to do anything that promises success lor nis party, in all his professions of anti Masonary, Know Nothingism and other revo lutionary schemes, he sas simply hypooriti cat, oniy using mem as measures to secure success. Uut in his anti slavery sentiments he has not only been always consistent, bat honest and persistent in his warfare for its destruction. also, he is an amal gatnationiet, as is evidenced by his system of nouseaeepiDK auring tne past twenty or more years. He baa been improvim; for a few days paet. and there is a fctroDg probability that he will be out and at work for evil before election day comes.

There are tremendous interests awaiting the wsue of the election on the 8th of October, and Thad. is one of those roost deeply interested in the results. He is very anxious that the sceptre shall not depart irom juaan. The ravages of yellow fever in vonr city is a subject of daily conversation throughout the ITorth. Lniversally much sympathy is expressed ior your safety ana recovery irom tne ravages ot tne scourge, we are having frosts here nightly, and there is a general autumnal jrppearance over everything.

Warm 8tove are comfortable institutions, especially at nignt, ana tney are mucn patronized How much I wish yon had a few such morn ings, you can wen imagine, we loos very anxiously ior me aoatement oi the epidemic I here is no doubt that Chase will be the next Presidential Radical candidate. No money, pains, efforts and labors will be spared to consummate this object. Having had a peep within the circle, where the kings of tbe Republic are made, I can speak knowingly of the plans that are designed, and that will be certainly consummated. Were it not that Chase degraded the ermine of his Supreme Judgeship and dragged his robes of office in the dirt and pollution of Radical politics, he would be the favorite of the majority of Northern people, bat he has blotted the prond place once held by Marshall and Story, and brought the honorable position into disrepute and contempt. Lancaster still maintains its position as a strong Democratic city, and delights, by its huge majorities, to rebuke the fanaticism of Stevens Co.

Yet it maintains a great respect for its notable citizens, and this pride is irrespective of parties and politics. The temperance plank in the Radical platform, in this State, promises to work great injury to the party in the coming election. I am very certain, however, that the election of a Democratic Supreme Judge cannot be considered a harbinger of the future success of the party, inasmuch as personal considerations will have much to do with the result.
