James E. Atchison, one of the workingmen of Washington city, the Hon. Thos. F. Bowie, of Prince George's county, has written a letter favorable to the interests of the mechanics, and eulogistic of labor, which he declares to be the "master cog-wheel in the world's machinery." He regrets that the subject of labor has received so little attention hitherto, and in reference to the eight-hour system eays: It appears to me to be a two-edged sword that cuts both ways.

So far as the government is concerned, 1 am free to say that I think they should not make "fish of one and fresh of another." If eight hours' labor is sufficient in one department of the government, I think eight hours' labor ought to be sufficient in every other department of the government. I know no reason why any distinction should be made among the difi'erent employees of the government. But it seems to me that the government could not afford to pay as much for eight hours' labor as they could for ten hours' work, and that therefore the difference, or, in other words, the reduction in price, would ultimately fail on the laborer, who, for the most part, could but illy aS'ord to submit to such a sacrifice. This, however, is a question which concerns the government and its employees alone. It has not, and cannot have, any application whatever to the general labor pursuits of life.

In these pursuits I think perfect freedom of will and action ought to be the only rule of conduct. In conclusion he adds: "Whilst I am quite willing to assist in establishing a uniform rule of-action in all contracts of labor which the government may be requested to make, 83 they are peculiarly within the jurisdiction and province of the federal authorities, I must nevertheless maintain that I can see no just reason why a similar rule of action should not be applied to the private industry of the country." Speaking of the letter, the National Inteliigen-ger says: "It bears the marks of a clear, profound, just and cultivated mind. Since the convening of the Labor Congress, the favorable expression for the mcst part of the President for the objects it had in view, and the recent friendly demonstrations of mechanics and laborers in particular towards the Chief Magistrate, the whole subject looms r.p with all its natural force and dignity. Class interest that are rolling in wealth by the imposition by law upon all the labor of the country of average protective duties of near fifty per now demand a vast augmentation of this grievous burden upon the shoulders of the consumers. They are furnishins the money undoubtedly that is driving the radical juggernaut over the bcrne-down interests of agricultural, mechanical, and ether forms of labor of the country.

No man hears of enhanced prices for the effort that produces highly protected fabrics, while it is a lact that operatives are year by year subjected to increased rigors as to" discipline in restraint of a manly personal liberty. Government is doing nothing directly for such, while for the class of employers in mammoth manufacturing monopolies, who ever cry there is literally no end to the partial legislation which i3 invariably called for, session after session, and is too often granted by Congress. In return for such enriching gratuities, what can be idone to alleviate or compensate humble, overborne, and depressed labor in all branches of industry!" The Destructive Freshets at the The accounts that reach U3 from the West as to the great freshets last week are really distressing. The great State of Ohio seems to have been literally afloat. One of the most discouraging effects of these disasters is the wholesale destruction of the partially harvested crops.

The Cincinnati Commercial, referring to the Great Miami and Whitewater river valleys, says: The sight of these beautlil valleys is just now a tad one. The rivers have overflowed their banks, and the water runs from five to fifteen feet deep over the immense cornfields these valleys are so noted for. It is estimated that fully four million bushels of corn will be lost by this overflow fences, outhouses, have been floated off and away. Near the mouth of the Miami river the current was so strong outside of the main channel that it eut out and carried off into the Ohio river acres of land; one man living near Lawrenceburg, who owns a large farm on the river, estimates his loss of land at seventy acres, though we think this estimate too large; but certain that it is that what was a few days ago a portion of his farm is now the bed of the river. The losses at Dayton are very large several hundred thousand dollars and there is much suffering among the poor.

Barney Smith car-builders, are the heaviest individual losers. Their loss will exceed $50,003. The whole country has been devastated. The loss of standing corn, fences, and stock is enormous. A part of the village of Cleves-was submerged, the water reaching to the second stories ia some of the houses.

Among the wonderiul medical properties which have rendered Hpstetter's Stomach Bitters preeminent among the health-restoring preparations of the age, its anti-bilious virtues are not the least remarkable.

No words can do justice to its marvelous effect upon the diseased liver. Perhaps the simple words of a convalescent sufferer, who describes it as "going right to the ppov' tell the story as clearly as may be. It does go right to the spot. It operates directly upon the disordered organ, and whether unduly active or in a state of paralysis, restores it to a condition of health. The Sickness at the Stomach, Pain between the Shonlders and in the Right Side, Yellow Suffusion of the Skin, Costiveness, Drowsiness and Languor, Dimness of Sight, Colic, Palpitation of the Heart, Dry Cough, Low Fever, and other symptoms which indicate the various phases of Acute and Chronic Liver Complaint, are one and all promptly relieved, and finally removed, by the action of this famous preparation, which is at once the best of correctives, the gentlest and most genial of aperients, an infallible regulator, and a powerful restorative.

Persona of a bilious habit, who use the Bitters as a protective medicine, will never suffer the pains aud penalties of Liver Disease or Bilious r.eiittect Fever. awlMWliRBasiaftJlJUUA1 FROM WASHIXGTOX. POUTH AMERICA AND THE UNITED STATES. Washington, Sept. 23.

The leccnt news from South America brings the important intelligence that the difficulty between the United States Government and Brazil and the Argentine Republic has been happily terminated. It will be remembered that our minister to Paraguay, Mr. Washburn, was returning to hia post, when he was stepped by the allied forces, who were blockading the Paraguay river. The United States government, on -learning the facts, immediately and emphatically insisted that he should be allowed to proceed, and that to prevent him would be regarded as a violation both of international custom and courtesy and of international law. In view of these representations it is now stated on good authority that the allied governments have withdrawn their opposition, and that Mr.

Washburn has accordingly passed through the blockade and passed up the river to his post.

Messrs. L. E. Dudley and W. A.

Ghort, prominent members of the Scldieis League of this city, and employees of the Treasury Department, who have been active promoters- of the Pittsburg Convention, were yesterday refused leave of absence to attend its sessions. They thereupon went without leave. It is probable that they will be dismissed ia consequence. The alarming and unfounded reports on Friday evening ot Secretary Seward's low condition were rather summarily put at rest yesterday morning by the Secretary's appearance at the Presidential Mansion. To-day he ia still further improved, and, although weak, ia able to sit up and ride out.

Dr. Norris thinks that in a few days he will probably be able to resume his official duties. The report of General Sheridan's military commission on the New Orleans riots, accompanied by the testimony, has reached the President's table. The report itself covers nearly Efcventy-five pages of foolscap, and the testimony ia very voluminous. The pressure of business ia eo great that its examination is likely to be deferred eome days.

An interesting suit for breach of promise was tried in the city court of Brooklyn, New York, last week. A young woman, named Catharine Jane Shannon, sued SamuelA. Warburton, a wounded veteran, for damages. It appeared from the testimony of the complainant that she first met the defend-ani at a party in 1303, and that from that time an intimacy grew up between them. The defendant joined the fourteenth (Brooklyn) regiment, and went to the war, but still continued to correspond with plaintiff', and finally asked her to be his wife, and she consented.

Shortly after hia return, however, he married another woman, with whom he had become acquainted. The jury gave the plaintiff a verdict of $2,500 damages.

For several months explorations have been making for gold in Montgomery county and near Washington city. The Eockviile Sentinel now gives the following interesting statement: The facts thow that the presence of rich gold deposits within a few miles of Washington is no longer problematical. "The Maryland Mining Company," composed principally of Phila-delphians, wTere the pioneers. They bought a tract of land about two miles below the Great Falls of the Pojtomac, of some one hundred and twenty acres: they have sunk several shafts and run some drifts, and in these have found several well-defined veins of gold-bearing quartz, which assays from forty to twenty-five hundred dollars per ton. Having demonstrated the abupdance and richness of the quartz, they have erected a large steam quartz mill for the reduction of these ores, and will be ready to put it in operation in a couple of weeks from this time.

The abundance and richness of the quartz has created a great dem ud for the stock of this company. Adjoining the "Maryland" mines, and within a few yards of tfaeir openings, the veins enter the "Henry" tract, now owned by Messrs! Mace and Metcalf, Kilgour, Dietrick and Casey, of Washington city. This is a large tract, containing five hundred acres, and having five veins, each a mile in length, through it. Some of veins have been opened, and are found to be exceedingly rich. We have seen a number of specimens from this traA that are very rich, containing large quantities- of gold, apparent to the naked eye.

Near by are the "Homiller" tract, owned by Dr. Kidwell, Marshall, Lamon and others; and the "Muncaster" owned by Judge Casey and others. All of these contain the veins, and promise the same richness that the others exhibit. Immediately above the "Cabin John" bridge ere the lands of the Union Arch Gold Mining Company," organized with a capital of two millions of dollars. They are sinking shafts, and their preliminary assays show the same richness exhibited above.

In addition to these there are several other parties operating on the Virginia side of the river, ficd these exblorations are developing larse veins of copper, copper sulphurets, pryrites of iron, silver, besides giving indications of the presence of gold in very consuieraoie quantities. experienced miners and skillful mining engineers have visited the region lately, and they all concur in the opinion that, when developed, these will be among the richest mines in the country. Views of an Eminent1 Virginian. Hon. A.

H. H. Stuart, of Virginia, one of Mr. Fillmore's cabinet, in a letter to the people of Alexandria inviting him to speak, says: "It is time to bury old differences in oblivion, and look to the present and the future. The Southern people have accepted the results of war in good faith.

Tlfey have abolished slavery, repudiated the Confederate debt and abandoned the dosrma of secession. Thev have fulfilled to th letter all the conditions which were required of thf fifl TirftrpmiisitPfl to fnll rptjtnrfti-lnii tr thmr constitutional rights. These conditions were officially off ered by the government of the United States, and formally accepted and performed by the Southern States. I told, therefore, that the States authorities cannot now, without a sacrifice of honor and good faith, recede from the bargain they made with the States of the South. If a spirit of justice and magnanimity be displayed by the people of the North towards those of the South, old wounds would soon be healed, old animosities will die out, and, under the influence of the many ties which bind the sections together, peace, prosperity and happiness will soon be re-established throughout our borders." Violent Storm in Cecil County.

On the 14th instant a violent tornado passed over a por tion of Cecil county, Md. The Elkton Demo, crat says: At Cecilton the roof of a substantial dwelling was taken -off bodily and borne more than fifty yards. The stable of Mr. S. P.

Wood was blown dowD, and one of his horses killed. An unoccupied wheelwright shop, bclongng to Dr. Roberts, was thrown down and crusned into an indiscriminate mass of debris. Several other buildings were moved several feet from their foundations. Trees were torn up by the roots, or broken off' at the trunk without number.

Of an entire row Of vigorous locust trees, not one was left standing when the storm had subsided. The roads were in many Dlaces rendered impassable by the fa lan timber. In Chesapeake city the etorm was equally severe. Mr. G.

W. Bennett's warehouse was unroofed, other buildings were thrown over, and large quantities of lumber from the yard reduced to a mass of splinters. Bayard's woods was 8 rewn with faUen trees, the barn and stable of Mr. Watson were blown down, and a carriage passing along the road, in which were several ladies, was overturned and broken. The Riot at Plat.te City, Mo.

A dispatch from St. Louis gives the follow ing version of the recent disgraceful riot at Platte City: There had been a radical meeting in the town and at its close a drunken radical named Dona-gan brandished a pistol on the street and bullied the citizens. The city marshal, with a posse, tried to arrest him, when a scuffle took place, in which many shots were fired, and a number wounded. Donagan was shot in the groin, and is in a dangerous condition. Sheriff Ogden was shot in the wrist; Senders McComas, mortally wounded; James Heath, killed; John Foley, slightly wounded in the arm; Richard Burk, severely vroundedin the thigh: Jonathan Todd, dangerously wounded in the thigh; Frank Cates, slightly wounded in the arm; E.

J. Phillips, severely wounded in the arm; Henry Todd, slightly Wounded In the thigh. A Serious Question. By the provisions of a special order from the freedmen's bureau, rations will cease to be issued to pauper freedmen after the first of October, and the question, what is to become of these poor negroes after that time? is a serious one. In this county alone there are now three hundred sick and pauper negroes, who are fed, clothed and sheltered by the government.

Of these three hundred, not one-eighth belong to this county thev havelbome-here from abroad and it cannot bo supposed that our citizens, many of whom can hardly support themselves, are to be taxed to feed and "clothe all the old and infirm negroes who choose to come here from a distance. Alexandria Gazette, Important if True French Troops Money and Munitions Still Furnished ly France The Empress Coming Rack to Mexico Tiie Situation at Vera Cruz, Jfcc. New York, Sept. 23. The New York Herald's Vera Cruz correspondence of September 11th states that there are no indications of a withdrawal of the French troops.

The 81st French regiment was expected to leave for France oa the ICth, but only one battalion cane down from the capital. The remainder to men) were ready to take up the flag of the Empire, instead of that of France. The French money was being expended in large amounts to increase the strer, gth of the imperial array. La Revista, of Vera Cruz, says that France pei mils the enlistment of volunteers, and will give the imperial government arms and munitions cf war. La Estafette eays that General Uraga proceeds to Europe oa a mission, and will then accompany the Empress back to Mexico.

Maxim: l.iaa has also appointed a minister to the Pope. It is tme that Maximilian desires to leave Mcxicr, but the French authori actisg upon instructions from France, object. Seme skirmishing has occurred just outside of the wails of Vera Crnz at night, and the lib-eials come quite close to the city. The imperialists met with a disastrous defeat in Michoa-can. Report says the imperial general abandoned everything, but there are no details.

The people and merchants of Vera Cruz will have nothing to do with the new Maximilian stamped dollar. The steamer Panama, from France, brought out eleven officers ana one hundred and fifty-seven men of the French foreign legion. A new commander is expected from France to succeed Bazaiae, but has not yet arrived. It was announced at the Capital that a new campaign for the purpose of retaking Matamoras and Tampico is to be opened in the latter part of September. Several attempts have been made to charter light draft steamers at Vera Cruz for a puipose net distinctly avowed.

The liberals have surrounded Jalapa on three sides, and will soon attack the city. The imperial commander there had made a forced loan of $10,009. The French are erecting fortifications oa the land side of Vera Cruz. Colonel Seran was within nine miles of the city with a considerable of liberals, and b.as issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of the State, asldng them to join him. The liberals hold Cerro Gordo, Puerte, and other points on the road to the capital.

Frcm Sew Orleans The Colored Troops Riotous Spirit, New Orleans, September 22. The officers of the 82d colored infantry assert that the regimen was very peaceably mustered out yesterday. However, quite a riotou3 spirit is manifested among the negroes in the city, which is owing chiefly to the disbandment of the.Slst and 82d colored infantry, who have just been paid and are giving themselves up to drink and carousal. The city is well guarded, and no outbreak is looked for. Thirty-five cab drivers have been arrested for violating the city ordinance by making a regular stand in the negro locality, to secure the patronage of the negroes recently paid off.

It is said, on the authority Of Colonel Edmuud-pon, who has been in the confidence of Governor Wells, that the latter has determined to support the reconstruction policy of President Johnson. Behavior of Colored Troops at New Orleans. Philadelphia, Sept. 23. A special dispatch to Forney's Press, from New Orleans, 22d says that the 82d colored regiment never contemplated any riot in that city; that no troops cou have behaved better; and that any report to the contrary has been manufactured.

Fenian Excitement in Canada. Toronto, C. Sept. 22. This evening's Daily Telegraph says: The government has issued a circular to the county attorneys and po2ice magistrates, instructing them to order the seizure of all arms in the possession of parties whom they consider as dangerous to the public peace, and all persons known or 6uspected of having connection with the Fenians will be vigorously prosecuted.

Three Fenians were committed to jail to-day; aud a list of several hundred names, including some well-known residents of this city, is now in the hands of the police, and most strict inquiries are being made by the police and detectives now in the city in regard to everything connected with Fenianism. From this time forward every railroad train and steamboat arriving in the city will be closely watched, and all suspicious characters searched and arrested; and if their business is not satisfactorily explained, they will be committed to jail under the habeas corpus act of last Parliament. A special session of magistrates is now being held at the mayor's office, the City Hall, for the purpose of Organizing a night patrol. It has been decided to -swear in one hundred and fifty men in each ward well-known freeholders and under the statute and these are to be drilled, at least two nights in the week, in the use of arms, and a certain number are to patrol their respective wards every night. The chief of police has, petitioned the police commissioners for an increase of the police force.

Young, Catholic" Bishop of the Diocese of Erie, who died suddenly in that city on the 13th instant, was 53 years of age, having been born in Sanford, Maine, in the month of August, 1803. Bishop Young served a regular apprenticeship at the printing business at Portland, Maine, iu the ofiice of the Portland Argus. He was a convert to Catholicism at the age of 19, and at the sge of 22 took a journeyman's tour through the western States, finally stopping at Cincinnati, where his extensive reading and marked ability for one of Ms aire attracted the attention of the then Bishop of Cincinnati, and he was sent to St. Mary's College, at Emmittsburg, to complete his education and prepare himself for ordination. He was ordained priest in IS37.

First appointed Bishop of Pittsburg, but upon his declination of that office he was appointed Bishop of Erie, as successor to Bishop O'Connor. He was consecrated in Cincinnati on Low Sundav, in 1S54, coming to Eric shortly after, where he has resided ever since. His bearing, benevolent disposition and social cmaiities made him highly esteemed by his cotemporaries as a man, a scholar and a gentleman. His death, although almost instantaneous, was scarcely unexpected by him, as he had frequently been informed by his medical advisers that, sooner or later, he would die without warning, in consequence of a disease of the heart, to which he had been subject for some time. How the Money Goes.

A gambling house reporter of a New York paper gives a faro record thus: "A well-known newspaper publisher and politician has lost over a quarter of a million of dollars. A paymaster in the army was a defaulter of lost in the same wav. A well-known Californian has lost about $00,000. A well-known. cuizeu oi uersey city, doing a large manufacturing business, was completely ruined within a short time at the faro table.

A young man, keeping books in Williamsburg, became a defaulter of $12,000. He was the only support of an aed mother, and was obliged to flee his home. A man, for over twenty yeara in the employ of an express company, and having the unbounded confidence of his employers, took to gambling, and, in an evil hour, to get money to play with, robbed his employers, was detected, and sent to the State prison for a term of years. A yonn man came into, possession, on the 12th of May last, of 56,000, and to-day he has not got a dollar, having lost it all at the gambling table." The West Virginia Registry Law. It is generally known that the close corporation of voters who at present control the destinies of West Virginia have adopted a registration law which disfranchises a large proportion of the men in that State.

James D. Armstrong, of Romney, has tested the constitutionality of the law in the circuit court of Hampshire. At the May term of that court a rule was made against the board of registration to show cause why they should not be compelled to register Mr. Aimstrong as a voter. The reason assigned by the board was that Mr.

Armstrong (a 'Southern sympathizer) had refused to take the oath required by the registration act. At the term of the same court held last week, as we learn from a letter in the Wheeling Register, Judge Harrison awarded a Peremptory mandamus requiring the board to register Mr. Armstrong. The Judge declared, in eflect, that the Legislature had by this act required a qualification not required by the constitution, which of course it had no power to do, and consequently so much of the registration act as requires the voter to take this oath is unconstitutional.
