The New Orleans Crescent, of the 21st, gives the following affecting episode in its court proceedings: A lot of drunken and disorderly women were sentenced to three months in the work-house. One of these was Mrs.

Doyle. Whilst the women were in a cell of the lock-up, awaiting the arrival of the Black Maria, a little bit of a boy appeared in court, and approaching the recorder, said: "Mr. Recorder, how much will you charge to let my mother out" The recorder, surprised, asked him how much he would give. He said he would give two dollars, that being aU the money he had, and that it was half of his month's wages; his business being that of selling papers at four dollars a month. "If I let your mother out," said the recorder, "she'll only get drunk again: can you keep her from drinking" "I've tried hard to make her quit it," the little one replied, "but she wul drink, and I don't know whether I can make her quit or not." The little fellow began to show symptoms of distress, when the recorder said to him, "Sonny, I'll tell you what I'll do.

If you caiget 3rour mother to sign the pledge, I'll let her out. Go and see your mother, and see what she says." An officer showed the little fellow into the lock-up, where, through the bars, ho saw his mother in a cell with the other women. He called her to the bars and said: "Ma, if I get you out of this place will you sign the pledge not to drink any more?" Mrs. Doyle, who was naturally enough in great distress, answered: "Yes, sonny, I'll do anything to get out of this." The boy went flying back to the recorder, reported his mother's answer, and offered his hard earned two dollars. The recorder told him to keep his money, and then had Mrs.

Doyle brought before him again. She was very penitent, and made all sorts of promises. The recorder lectured her. and gave her to understand that he pardoned her only for her little boy's sake; and then, to make sure ef her taking the pledge, directed officer Borge to accompany her and see that she fulfilled her promise. Attended by the officer and her little boy she went around to the residence of Rev.

Father Moynihan, and, in the reverend gentleman's presence, solemnly took the pledge to be a good and sober woman hereafter. IX THE HALT I MORE SUN. 1 Square 1 SO 60 1 do. 2 days 0 76 do. 100 do.

On Thursday night the bottling establishment of Mr. James Russell, on Mercer street, near Light, was entered by burglars and robbed of a box of cigars, fifty cents and several bottles of ale and portsr.

The entrance was euected Dy iorcmg a rear wmaow. xno of value in it. On a slate the following note was left: "Mr. Russell i had a fine drunk last nite and a few cents to get me more i will give you another call in about a week, Sampson, Shoulder hitter, Edge tool captain, i will treat you again." The store of Mr. Ryan, at the corner of Hil-len and Front streets, was entered by burglars on Thursday night, wrho forced an entrance through the cellar window.

The movements of the thieves were heard by the proprietor, who started down stairs, when the burglars fled. They obtained no booty. Run Over by a Steam Fire Engine. At nine o'clock yesterdp.y morning an alarm of fire was sounded irom box No. 1, for the purpose of giving an exhibition of the powers of steam fire engines Nos.4 andGto the Chicago Zouaves.

No. 6 was driven rapidly down Gay street, and much faster across the bridge than should have been permitted. On descending the heavy grade on the west side of the bridge, one of the rear wheels of the engine came intj contact withahorseand wagon. The horse was thrown -down, and, with the wagon, dragged nearly one hundred feet before the driver of the- engine horses could be brought to a halt. The- horse, a valuable animal, was badly cut and bruised, and one of his legs was so badly injured that he could not stand on it.

The Rtcent Attempt at Suicide in Carroll County, Md. AYe noticed on Thursday the horrible attempt at suicide on Tuesday of William S-Brown, of Westminster, Carroll county, who took laudanum, cut his throat, and then opened the veins of his arms with a jack-knife. The deed was done in a field about two miles on the pike irom Westminster. Brown went out to borrow money, and meeting little success, in despair at his inability to meet the demands of his creditors, sought to destroy himself in the shocking manner described. Mr.

Brown was still alive yesterday morning, with increased hopes of recovery. His family consists of a wife and five children. Mr. Brotvn was formerly sheriff of Carroll county, and is much respected. New Public School House.

The board of public school commissioners have determined to demolish the old dilapidated school edifice on the northeast corner of Green and Fayette and erect upon the site a new edifice, embracing the modern improvements. This building was for a long time occupied by primary school No. 1, but more recently by male and femala primary school No. 3. The premises have a front on Fayette street of 102 feet, witn a depth of 64 feet on Green street.

The new building will be about 34 feet front on Fas'ette street, with a depth of about 50 feet, allowing on each side ample room for play grounds, and in the rear an avenue between the buildings on Green street, affording plenty of ventilation. Bay Side Camp-Meeting. The camp-meeting on the old Bay Side ground, in Talbot county, began yesterday and will continue until Wednesday next. Camp-meeting occasions are-generally embraced by people of the city to visit their friends on the Eastern Shore, and many will go down on the steamer Lancaster to-night. The Bay Side is one of the most noted camp-meetings in that part ot tne State.

The camp-meeting at Lloyd's Springs, on the-Choptank river, also began yesterday. The steamer Kent will go down to that camp today and return on Monday. The Chicago Zouaves Invited to Harrisburg. At a large meeting of the citizens ot Harrisburg, held on Wednesday, at Brant's European Hotel, it was determined to invite the Chicago Zouaves to visit that city on their return from Baltimore. A committee of three, consisting of Capt.

Simmons, Lieut. Alexander Shipley, and Col. Thomas Jordan, was appointed to visit this ity, and lay the invitation before-the Zouaves in due form. The committee are now in this city upon their mission, but with what success we have not learned. The Magnolia Riot.

In the report of this affair in The Sun of Thursday last, it was stated that Dr. Cunningham, of this city, cut the cords with which the prisoner Barrett was bound, and was himself arrested, brought to this city and committed to jail. The facts are, as since stated to us, that Dr. Cxteningham, alter, as he himself admits, thoughtlessly cutting the cords, came to the city, was arrested here and being taken to the station house gave bail for his appearance at court. Tlte Weather.

For several days past the temperature has been tolerably comfortable, but still there has been no rain. The clouds have gathered again and again, but as often disappeared, after perhaps a shower not sufficient to allay the dust in the streets. Yesterday the sky was obscured for the greater part of the day, and all the while-the" clouds gave promise of the much desired rain, but up to a late hour the hope was disappointed. Roolery of a Dwelling. The residence of Rev.

John W. M. Williams, No. 307 West Lombard street, was invaded by burglars between four and live o'clock yesterday morning. The burglars scaled the wall and forced open a door.

The house was considerably ransaeked, but the family being absent from the city, the amount of their depredations are unknown to the police, and there is no way. of ascertaining until the family return. Runaway and Collision. About noon yesterday the horses attached to a large wagon took, fright on Pennsylvania avenue, near SewaU's tan-yard, and running away, brought the', wagon violently in contact- with car-Ne. 5, standing on the track at the lime.

THE SUN. DETAILS OF FOREIGN NEWS. The foreign adaices by the Asia at New York, although not as late as previously received, contain some matters of interest, which we fcubjein: The Insult to 3Ir. Dallas. At a meetingci fteStatisiieal Congress in London, T.ord Brougham, tne chairman, said that he wished to maie an observation.

He regretted very much that Mr. DaHas, the Minister lor the United States, was not present, because it appeared that a remark which he had made at the opening meeting on Monday had bf en attempted to be turned into something disrespectful to the American Ambassador. He could only say he was very sorry thai remark should have been misconstrued. He never intended to say anything that could possibly be painful to our kinsmen in the United States, for hora he had the greatest respect, though there were subjects upon which he and they differed. When he saw Br.

Delaney, a respectable colored gentleman from Canada, in the room, he had merely mentioned it as a statistical lact, which it was, and a fact, he might be permitted to add, of no Email importance. He only called the attention of Mr. I)aUa3 to it in the S8me way as he would have invited the attention of their excellent colleague from Brazil, without the slightest intention of saying anything disrespectful to the He hoped that Count de Eepclda would also accept this explanation, as the Spaniards had persons of various races in their possessions in tbe New World. English Gold and American Slave Cotton. A public meeting of the African Aid Society, the object of which is to improve the condition of the African population, to render England, as far as possible, independent of the supply of American cotton, and to discourage slavery and the slave trade, has been held.

The chairman said that the society had now assembled to see what could be done for the degraded African race; and he believed the society which it was proposed to form would strike at the root of the slave trade. There wa3 something very inconsistent in this country paying to etaancipate slaves, and its still continuing to pay annually to maintain slavery in the United States. Resolutions favorable to the object in view were adopted, and addresses delivered by the Rev. T. Bourne, of New York, and others.

The Failure of Leather Uealers. A me of the creditors of JJIessrs. Stre-at. feld, Lawrence Mortimore, leather aad hide factcrs, had been held in London. The proceedings excited the greatest interest.

It appears the ascertained Habilities amount to .744,449, whil the assets are estimated on paper at 214,1 10. Tbe profits averaged in 15 Jo and le59 about 40,000 per annum. Trie em. bairassment of the firm arose through supporting numerous other houses in the same trade. Once engaged with them, it was obliged to go on providing them with means.

The involvements grew from 365,000 in 1957, when the firm was solvent, to the present large amount. The embarrassment of the smaller houses brought the difficulties of the larger house to a climax. The U3ual facilities of discount were cut off and a stoppage inevitable. A searching inquiry was considered necessary by the majority ef the creditors, but the chairman (Mr. Chapman) announced that his firm (Overend, Emery Co.) had come to the determination to place the estate in the bankruptcy court.

His motion to this effect was negatived by a large majority. Mr. Chapman said, "I put the resolution that I might elicit the opinion of English merchants as to the infamous practice of circulating accommodation bills, purporting to be for general transactions, and only regret that it was not met with unanimous consent. He said he should not alter his instructions hadalready been gia-f to place the estate in the bankruptcy court." It was intimated that a similar course would be pursued with regard to the Liverpool firm, at the ins ance of bankers in that town. Naples and Sicily.

The Neapolitan government had ordered the removal of the Royal Guard from Napl-s Th other troops were to be confined to the fortresses, and their posts entrusted to the National Guard. The punishment of the bastinado had been abolished, and the prefect of police had issued an ordinance doing away with the secrei dungeons in all the prisons. Advices from Naples say that as soon as the reactionary movement of the 1.3th occurred the ministers went in a bodv to the King and insisted upon resigning unless the authors of the riot were brought to a court-martial. The King at once went to all the barracks, harangued the troops, and made all the officers and soldiers take an cath to be faithful to the constitution. The ministers thereupon with, drew their resignations, and the members of tbe corps diplomatique called upon the King ard congratulated him.

There seems no doubt that Garibaldi has joined Medici with 3,000 men, at Barcelona, near Messina, with the intention of first attack-irg Melazzo, at the extremity of the line of defenses, and then advancing on the citadel itself. The Neapolitan General Bosco is said also to have marched out towards Barcelona with men and four guns. A conflict, therefore, between the parties seems imminent. Contributions for the Pope. The official journal of Rome announces that' te sum derived from Peter's pence, which has already entered the Papal exchequer, amounts to a million of sendi, Te writer goes on to mention some of the coirbutions as coming from the more distant regions of Barbary, the Greek Archipelago, the Cape of Good Hope and California, and proceeds to give a list of addresses of sympathy forwarded to the Pope from all quarters of the Catholic world, not excepting even the Ro-magna.

A dispatch from Paris says that the French government proposes to send men into Syria, under the command of Gen.

Trocha. France desires first, to dispatch troops to the conntiies where the Christians are iu danger; second, to nominate a mixed cemmission, chsrged with the adoption of an aiministra-tive reorganization that shall effectually protect them hereafter. Yellow Fever at Havana. The Cuban Messenger says: "We have obtained official inlormation before that the total number of cases of yellow fever ia the city and port, comprising public aud private hospitals as well as private residences, i 077, and out of these IS deaths Lave eccurred. Hie Reported Diabolical Plot in Texas Further Particulars.

We find in the Houston Telegraph a letter dated Dallas, Texas, July 21st, giving some further particulars of the plot said to have reen concocted by abolitionists and the slaves to devastate the whole of Northern Texas, and enter upon a general massacre of the white population. The letter, after stating that the whole affair was revealed by the arrest of several negroes for firing houses, proceeds as follows: Nearly or quite ahundred negroes have been arrested, and upon a close examination separate and apart from each other, they deposed to the existence of a plot or conspiracy to lay waste the county by fire and assassination to impoverish the land by the destruction of the pro vision, arms and ammunition, and then, when in a state, of helplessness, a general re-a-olt of the negroes was to begin on the 1st Monday in ATigust, the day of election for State officers. This conspiracy is aided and abetted by abolition emissaries from the North, and by those in our midst. The details of the plot, and its modus operandi, are these: Each county in Northern Texas has a supervisor in the person of a white man, whose name is not given; each county is laid off into districts undtr the sub-agents of this villain, who controls the action of the negroes in said districts, by whom the firing was to be done. Many of our most prominent citizens were singled out for assasination whenever they made their escape from their burning homes.

Kegroes never before suspected are implicated, and the insurrectionary movement is wide-spread to an extent truly alarming. In some places the plan was conceived in ea ery form shocking to the mind, and frightful in its results. Poisoning was to be added, and the old females to be slaughtered along with the men, and the young and handseme women to be parceled out amongst these infamous scoundrels. They had even gone so far as to designate their choice, and certain ladies had already been selected as the victims of these misguided monsters. Fortunately, the country has been saved from the accomplishment of these horrors; but then a fearful duty remains for us.

The negroes have been incited to these infernal proceedings by abolitionists, and the emissaries of certain preachers who were expelled from this county last year. Their agents have been busy amongst us, and many of them have been in our midst. Some of them have been identified, but have fled from the country; others still remain to leceive a fearful accountability from an outraged and infuriated people. Nearly a hundred negroes have testified that a large reinforcement of abolitionists are expected on the 1st of August, and these to be aided by recruits from the Indian tribes, while the Rangers are several hundred miles to the north of us. It was desired to destroy DaUas, in order that the arms and ammunition of the artillery compa ny might share the same fate.

Our jail is filled wiih the villains, many of whom will be hung, and that ery soon. A man was found hung at our neighboring city of Fort Worth, two daj's ago, believed to be one of those scoundrels who are engaged in this work. We learn that he had stored away a number of rifles, and the day after he was hung a load of six-shooters passedion to him, but were intercepted. He was betrayed by one of the gang, and hence his plans were thwarted. Many others wiU share his fate.

Affairs in Carroll County. We copy the following from the Westminster papers: The Crops. The harvest in the county, we believe, is now generally gathered, and from information received, the yield of wheat is below what was anticipated. From developments thus far, it may be considered scarcely an average crop. The grass and oats are heavy, and even better than for many years, but the prospect for corn is very unfavorable, and if the drought shall continue, there will ceitainlybe an extraordinary scarcity of this raost valrable grain.

Sudden Death. We learn of the sudden death of John Engl ir, of Wakefield Valley, in this county, on Sunday night last. He attended the woods meeting at Brick Church during the day, heartily partook of supper, retired to bed in his usual health, and in the morning was found a corpse. Encampment at Hamp stead.

G. S. Key, of our village, for some nine months past, was committed to the county jail on Man-day last. He was arrested by Capt. Tucker, on whose vessel he desired to go to Philadelphia.

Alonzo, it is stated, has lived the greater part of the time he has been run away in a cave near the residence of Joseph Simms, Patuxent district. Affairs in Hakford County. We find the annexed items in the Havre-de-Grace Times: The Great Eastern. An excursion will go down from this place and Port Deposit, on the Juniata, on the 8th instant, with the view of visiting Annapolis roads and seeing the Great Eastern. Fence Burned.

Mr. John Campbell, of this town, had about one hundred panels of fence burned on Wednesday evening last, along the railroad a short distance from town. It is supposed the fire caught from the engine.

A letter from Panama says: Among the shipments from New York to San Francisco per last steamer was abundle of old rails, supposed to have been sent tnere Dy some enthusiastic admirer of "Honest Old Abe," probably for somebody to ride in the presidential campaign.

Short of Water. The Philadelphia News says that the "oldest inhabitant" does not remember the time when the water was so low on the Schuylkill. It is said that many of the stvrines on that henntifnl stream have become dry. Even the "Weeping Rock," on the Wis-sahikon, sheds "nary" a tear. The water-works at-Fairmount and other places on the Sohuyl-kill are still active aU the time, day and night.

By Telegraph for the Baltimore San. From Washington. Washington, August 3. The drafts paid by the Treasury during the past week amounted to $1,573,000, leaving subject to draft $3,077. Drafts in the aggregate amounting to $1,670,000, on postoffice account, have been issued.

Although the sum in hand is comparatively small, no embarrassment to the Treasury is anticipated. The receipts during the last week were, from customs at New York nearly Boston Baltimore Philadelphia $46,000 New Orleans $22,000 Charleston $10,000. TSpecial Dispatch for the Baltimore Sun. Washington, August 3. Jacob Forney, late superintendent of Indians in Utah, is no here.

It seems that he was ordered not to dra upon appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1S60, without previously furnishing estimates. Not having complied with this direction, his drafts upon the treasury, to the amount of $30,000 or 40.000, have not been honored. Moreover, it is charged against him that, in his purchases of mules, stores, very much less was really paid than appears upon the face of the receipts. His accounts are now in course of rigid investigation at the Indian bureau. The report that the republicans have sent out to Oregon to obtain testimony wherewith to oust Stout from his seat in the House excites aery strong and deep feeling in democratic circles.

The game will be the most dangerous one ever yet essaj7ed in politics at this point, if the election of President goes to the House. A. From Pike's Peak Destructive- Tornado in Kansas. St. Josephs, Aug.

2d. The Express from Pike's Peak, arrived last night, brought 812,000 in gold dust. There art now one hundred quartz mills in the mines, but only a few are in working order. Some worked by experienced engineers realize $100 to $125 per day, and others from $60 to $100. Six men in one claim had taken out four and a half pounds of gold per day.

Other claims were equally successful, but some realize little or nothing. A destructive tornado occurred at Marys-ville, Kansas, on the 30th demolishing everything in its course. Three dwellings, two business houses, platforms and printing offices were blown to pieces. The postofnee was turned round and set into the street. Every building in the place was injured, but no lives are reported as lost.

The postage rate by the pony express has been reduced to $2 50 per quarter ounce. American Scientific Association. Newport, R. August 3. The American Scientific Association is now in session at this place.

About 5,000 people assembled in State street to-night to witness a man walk across a wire, stretched from Association Hall to the top of the Museum building. After waiting an hour, the performer appeared in tights at one end of the wire, walked out two steps, returned, and bowing to the vast audience, announced the wire not tight enough, and withdrew, boldly selling an audience large enough to excite the envy of politicians. The Prince of Wales' Travels. Halifax, August 2. The Prince left this morning, accompanied by the Governor, Ad-.

Yesterday morning the Zouaves were invited to Monument Square to witness an exhibition of steam lire engines No. 4 and 6, which had been called out especially for a trial on that occasion. No. 4 burst two sections of hose before it got fairly to work, but it fully came up to all expectations-Afler the engine trial the company made a visit to the penitentiary and jail, wnere tney were received and escorted through the prison departments. At three o'clock in the afternoon, with the Independent Greys, they made an excursion to the Chesapeake, on board the steamer Champion.

The first call was made at Fort McHenry, where the excursionists landed antl were sheJwn through the Fort by the sergeant in charge. As the boat rounded North Point the band played the Star Spangled Banner. On tbe return the steamer ran up to the southwest side of Fort McHenry, where a crab and fish supper had been prepared at La Cross'. The supper was magnificent, and though only about i one hundred persons were at tne tame, mere was ample provision ior as many more, iiere a part of the Zouaves enjoyed themselves by gymnastic exercises and bathing, while others visited the Winans steamer, with which they expressed themselves delighted. Everything conspired to make the excursion agreeable, hile nothing occurred to mar the pleasures ef any.

The Zouaves expressed their entire satisfaction at the hospitalities which had met them on ev ery hand. While on the excursion Mr. Thomas bad seven rifles, which were tried by the Zouaves. Capt. Griffith did all in his power to make the occasion pleasant, and ould have taken the whole party to the Winans steamer, but for fear his boat might ground.

They returned to the city iu good season, and visited the Holliday Street Theatre. To-day they will visit Washington and Mount Vernon, and after the return from the tomb of Washington they will caU on President Buchanan and go through their wonderful drill. The Steamship Great Easternin the Chesapeake. By the time this article reaches the eye of the reader, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, the Great Eastern will be floating in southern waters, and the expression of everybody will be, "The Grea't Eastern has come." The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Ccmpany have issued their schedule of special arrtrngeioents for the occasion, and will run. trains direct for Annapolis on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next, ctnrectingat Annapolis with the steamer Lan caster, wiucn win convey passengers hub Great Eastern.

Arrangements have also been made for the accommodation of the citizens of Washington and D. and at all points along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The Northern Central RaUroad Company have issued excursion tickets irom Harrisburg, at the rate of $3 95 for the trip, including a visit to the ship, and all the other ririvileges. The steamer Adelaide, ot the Norfolk line of bay steamers, made the opening; trio to Old Point yesterday afternoon, taking dowu the first large installment of visitors. She will be followed by the Louisiana, this, afternoon.

It has been stated that the Great Eastern will reach Annapolis Roads on. Saturday morning. This is a mistake, as steamship docs not leave Old Point, until, Sunday mom- NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION. The State election in North Carolina for Governor and members ol the Legislature took place on Thursday. Ellis, Pool, opposition, were the candidates for Governor.

The majority for Ellis in 1353 was 16,247. In addition to the returns given under our telegraphic head, we giv the foUowing which we find in the Petersburg Express In Wake county the opposition have a small majority. In 1858 it gave Ellis a maj'y of 831. The vote of Wayne county is in, and nearly all official. It is as follows: J.

W. Ellis John Pool 398; Ellis' majority 993 his majority in 1S5S was 1,172 loss 174. A letter from Lenoir county, received at Goldsboro. says Ellis' majority is 199. Another letter says it is from 210 to 220.

The democratic candidates for the Legislature are all elected by increased majorities. In 185S Lenoir gav Ellis 462, and McRae 274. In Craven county Ellis is reported to have held his own. There is a reported increase for Pool in the town of Newbern. In 1S58 the countv of Craven gave Ellis 759, and McRae 559.

So iar as heard from, the returns indicate large democratic majorities in the counties of Noithampton, Halifax and Edgecombe. In 1SCS. Northampton gave Ellis 618, McRae 365: Halifax gave Ellis S12, McRae 401; Edgecombe gave Ellis S71, McRae 108. BY TELEGRAPH. Raleigh, Aug.

3. The annual State election took place in North Carolina yesterday for Governor and other State officers. The returns thus far received are incomplete. Raleigh gives Ellis, for Governor, lf'3, and Poole, opposition, 525; for State Senate, Thompson, democrat. 173: Bledsoe, opposition, 552.

Unofficial returns from nine precincts indicate that the opposition have carried the countj-, which heretofore has been largely democratic. Wilmington, Aug. 3. Nearly official returns give Ellis a gain of 34 over Mr. Buchanan's vote.

Seven precincts, out of town, give Pool a gain of 54 over Mr. Fillmore's vote. The town vote is not yet counted. The democratic legislative ticket is elected, as follows: Eli W. Hall to tne Senate, and S.

J. Person to the House of Commons. This connty (Hano- a er) gave Ellis 1,003 majority in 1S53. The Steamship Great Eastern. A Gala-Day in Hampton Roads.

The steamship Great Eastern, no doubt, arrived in Hampton Reads last evening. She was to have been met at sea by the steamer Northampton, of Norfolk, and escorted by her into the waters of Virginia. For several days past the hotels at Norfolk and Old Point have been filling up, and the crowd of visitors to the "great ship" tc-day will, of course, be immense. The Norfolk Day Book thus speculates upon the scene to be itnessed to-day: The sight to be witnessed in Hampton Roads on Saturday wiU, perhaps, be the grandest one of the kind on record. Never ia the history of civilization was such an aquatic scene witnessed as will be spread out to the visitor, like an immense panorama.

On Saturday ten thousand people will float upon the blue waves ot our outer harbor, and thousands of vessels, from, the lai gest to the smallest in the world, will rest upon its bosom at one and the same time. The primitive "dug-out" that conveyed the red man across that very water two hundred years ago will be represented there, and wiU iie side by side with the grandest triumph, the neplus ultra of marine architecture. The rude shaped log, that for so long a time was the only boat used in these waters, will contrast strongly and strangely with the monster ship. The one the rudest acd the other the grandest effort of man in the noble art of ship building. All The intermediate classes of vesseldora will be there, ana such a sight never did before, and in all human probability, never will present iiself again.

The steamers, the boats, the catces, the people, the ever-a-arying and shifting scene will more than compensate the visitor, even though he came a thousand miles. The Great Eastern will leave Hampton Roads to-morrow in time to arrive in Annapolis Roads the same evening. She wiU be met about seventy miles down the bay by the steamer George Peabody, of this port, and escoried to her anchorage off Annapolis. On Monday she will be open to visitors, and continue open until Friday evening. As all the railroads leading to this city have issued round trip tickets, at reduced rates, the number of visitors from Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia will doubtless be very large.

The Zocave Mania. The visit of the Chicago Zouaves to the Atlantic cities has given a most surprising impetus to the taste for military discipline, avhich seems to be inherent in our nature as well as others. Already in various cities and towns preliminary measures have been taken to establish similar corps. In Charleston, S. efforts are making to get up a "Zouave" company, one of the principal arguments lor its establishment being the rules which prevent members from visiting drinking or gambling saloons.

Everybody is not generally aware that the Zouave corps are also a mutual benefit society, their by-laws containing the following rules "That in the event of the sickness one of our number we will, if circumstances require it, take care of him, and afford ham all the assistance in our power. "That in case one of the number losing his situation, each member of the corps shall be bound to make an reasonable enort to procure him employment, and if his necessities require it, he will, as long as he remains in good standing and out of employment, receive from the company an allowance weekly sufficient for his subsistence." At Utica, N. a company was formally organized Tuesday evening, under the title of the "Utica Zouave Cadets," the rules and dis-cipline to be the same as those of the Chicago company. But it will be found aery difficult for new companies to emulate the Chicago Zouaves with any hope of success. Every evening of the week, excepting Sundays, for veais, they have, it is said, met at their armory, and thus all their leisure bas been spent in attaining their military skill.

If they have no peers in the United States in their peculiar line, it is because their indefatigable, laborious and long-continued drill has no parallel. Capture of a Slaver with Three Hundred and Sixty Negroes on Board. The purser of the steamer Karnak, at New York, from Nassau, gives the following account of the capture of another slaver: On the the 28th of July, Nassau was all excitement, in consequence of the arrival of three schooners with about 300 Africans on board, in a complete tate ol nudity, taken from a wrecked slaver. We saw the slaver on Wednesday, the 26th at 6 A. M.

They ran in shore at Abaco, but, in consequence of a gale the previous day, they had lost most of their canvass, and had not sufficient left to bear out again from the land, and finally struck at Lanyard Bay, on the N. E. coast of Abaco. The slaver left the coast with 400 slaves on board, and had lost about -10. Thej' are all quite young, many of them children; about 50 are females.

They were suffering much from scurvy and hunger. The captain and mate are not yet found. They say the former cut his throat the first day oat, and the mate shortly after was drowned. That, however, remains to be proved. They had been 30 out.

Shipping Muskets to the South and West. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says: The United States government is now packing at the main arsenal in this city 7,000 guns ol the latest model, for shipment to California, a ia the Horn. One hundred and twelve thousand guns, mostly early models, have been sent to southern and western State arsenals since last January, besides several thousand furnished companies in this vicinity. Eight thousand are finished each month, but the demand is so great that only two hundred of the new model now remain on hand, and about sixteen thousand, mostly of the models of 13-22 and 1842, are yet in store ia the Springfield United States arsenal comparatively a very small number. All Quiet at Occoquan.

The Alexandria Gazette states that affairs at Occoquan, are now quiet, and it is not probable there will be an attempt t3 renew the cause of the disturbance. A letter from there says: "It was rumored here, a few days since, that the republicans were about to memorialize Governor Letcher, asking permission to erect another pole. It is also said that J. C. has ceased to claim to be a citizen of Virginia, and refused on Saturday last to exercise his commission as a justice of the peace.

His commission expired on Tuesday. He has closed his establishment, and declares he will have no more work done in Virginia. Some of the republicans are still anxionsto raise the pole again." Political Excitement in St. Louis. There was almost a riot in St.

Louis, Tuesday night. Some stones were thrown into the democratic headquarters, and some of the who were holding a public meeting, threatened to clean out the republican club-room. There was, for some time, intense excitement, and danger of a general riot. There i3 extreme exasperation among the St. Louis politicians.

Affairs in Baltimore County. We copy the following from the Towsontown Advocate; Tlie Branch Railroad. For the past three years there has been considerable work done in grading a branch railroad from the Northern Central Railroad to this place, about two miles in length. Some months ago the contractor left, and now, under the terms of the charter, the land reverts to the original owners of the property, a portion of whom do not feel disposed to extend further privileges to the railroad company, so that project may how be considered dead. Shower of Frogs.

On Sunday night last we were visited by a slight shower of rain. On Monday morning, at a point some three miles northeast of this place, on the Dulaney's Valley Turnpike, near the residence of Mr. Geo. A. Smith, the ground was almost covered with myriads of very small frogs, all brisk and lively! How they came there is not certainly known, but it is supposed they fell from the clouds or "rained Sown." Drouth.

This section of country is now suffering lrom excessive drouth, which is very injurious to the growth of grass, corn, potatoes, and, in fact, aU vegetatiox. The corn in seme sections ol the county is said to be past remedy. Large Eagle. On Thursday last, Mr. Charles L.

Jessop, of this county, shot at Bull's Neck, an eagle measuring 6 feet 4 inches from tip to tip of the wings. Prisoners in Jail. There are now 29 prisoners confined in our prison for various offenses, some serving out their time, and some city prisoners who have removed their cases to this county. The Drought in Texas. Another Simoon.

The extraordinary drought in various sections of Texas continued at last accounts. The Nacogdoches Chronicle of the 17th nit. says: A drought like the present in eastern Texas is not within the remembrance of man. over two months have we looked and uroohesied for rain, but in vain. During the past week the mercury stood at from 100 to 110 degrees.

The consequence is most disastrous; the people find it difficult to procure the necessary supply of water; cattle and horses suffer, and in some instances perish from want of it; fields of corn have withered and become blighted without producing an ear, while thousands ol acres will not yield the amount or eted that was required to plant them. The cotton crops, which usually withstand all droughts, are alike victims to it. The Victoria Advocate says: On Saturday, the 14th, a perfect simoon swept over Vi -toria. The dust and sand swept by in clouds that darkened the whole atmosphere, until houses could not be seen across the street. The storm blew from a little west of south, and blew with more than the vio lence of a norther for three-quarters of as hour.

No place was free from the driving oust it visited every note and corner ot tne houses, drifted in like snow through the roofs, came in at the cracks of the windows, besprinkled the beds and furniture, drifted the laces of many ol our citizens, and even tell in quantities on the editor's MSS. until he could hardly wrnte. Personal Encounter in St. Mary's Coukty. We understand that at the county convention lately held in St.

Mary's county, to appoint delegates to the State Breckinridge convention, Oscar Miles, State Senator from said county, made an address, in which he took the ground that no con vention could properly be called for that purpose. In the course of his remarks, it is stated Mr. Miles reflected somewhat severely upon the action of John F. Dent, former Speaker of the House of Delegates. Mr.

Dent interrupted him by saying that he would hold him (Mr. Miles) personally responsible, out of the convention, for his remarks, and it is stated that, meeting Mr. Miles soon afterwards, he attacked him, during which Mr. Miles, it is said, was very roughly handled. Ihe affair has created considerable sensation among the friends of both paities throughout the county.

A Wealthy Vipitob. Lake George doubtless feels highly honored by the fact, that Baron Rothschild, of Paris, whose income i3 16,000,000 francs 3.000,000) a year, is sojourning on her banks. With his suite of ten "people" he is making a tour of our watering places. Not Accepted. The proposition of the Connellsville Railroad Company, to give up tbe $100,000 subscribed by the borough of M'Keesport, to that enterprise, on payment ot $15,000, was voted on in that town last week.
