FEARFUL COLLISION. On Friday night last, about a quarter to 7 o'clock, a lamentable accident occurred off the southern outfall sewer at Crossness Point, near Erith, oppo site Barking Creek, the spot where the fatal acci dent to the cadets of the Worcester training ship happened about three years ago. It appears that the Metis, one of the oldest of the well-known Thames Company's steamboats, which had left Gravesend at half-past 5 o'clock, was pro ceeding up the river with about 50 passengers on board when she was run into off the southern out fall sewer by a steam collier, the 'Wentworth, of Newcastle, coining down the river under steam and canvas, and received a sudden blow on the after quarter that cut her almost asunder below the water line. The collision placed the whole of the crew and passengers at once in most imminent danger, as the water immediately rushed into the opening with fearful force, sinking her stern. Fortunately, the man at the wheel, named Cheeseman, of Green wich, had the presence of mind to turn the head of bis vessel into the south shore in time to save her from sinking in deep water ; but the poor fellow's courageous act cost him his life, as he was soon after swept away. Two children, Alice Brigden, aged nine years, of 1, Edward-street, Penton-place, Newington-butts, with an infant, Richard Barry, nine months old, of 26, Pier-terrace, Cubitt's Town, were also drowned in the cabin ; besides which the captain, Henry Spenchley, of Beresford-street, Woolwich, received such serious injuries through being violently thrown from the look-out bridge, which broke both his arms, that his life is in danger. It seems that about fourteen of the passengers were having tea in the after cabin at the time of the accident, and the first intimation they had of the collision was a cry that a man—Cheeseman— was overboard. Most of them at once made for the deck and were fortunate enough to escape, but Mr. Edmund Brigden, who had two little girls with him, and Mr. Richard Barry, whose wife and infant were also below, were less fortunate. The wife of the latter had the babe swept from her arms by the rush of water, and was pulled on deck herself only just in time to save her life, leav ing her husband behind, while his chance of escape with that of Brigden and his two daughters was cut off by the floating away of the companion-ladder. it appears that Brigden, then attracted by the light from the skylight, though chin deep in water suc ceeded in smashing the glass and frame, and was pulled through with one child by some of the Coast guard, who went quickly to the rescue from their ship, close at hand. An endeavour to rescue the remaining child was unhappily unsuccessful. Many of the passengers were taken on board the boats o: the Coastguard, and one of these brave fellows, named Thompson, hearing that the poor fellow Barry was still in the cabin, made a dash at the risk of his life and succeeded in pulling him out after eight minutes' submersion. Barry was re moved on board the Coastguard ship, where he re ceived proper attention, a did also the girl Brigden, both of whom remained on board for the night. About half an hour after the accident the Sea Swallow, another steamer of the Waterman's Com pany, with a screw tug, came up and took off the rest of the passengers, assisted by the Thames police, who also happened to be near at hand in their long boat. It seems the disaster arose from both vessels turning this dangerous point from oppo site sides at the same time, when both ported their helms simultaneously. The greatest consternation ensued, and the cries of the passengers were heart rending ; but it must be said, to the credit both of the crew and the male portion of the passengers, that they behaved courageously in the extremity, or greater loss of life must have ensued. One of the Coastguard, named George Clarke, distinguished himself by his cool intrepidity. On Saturday means were taken to raise the Metis with lighters, and by eight o'clock she was towed up to Woolwich and moored off the wharf just below the Old Pier. The body of Cheeeman had not been recovered up to yesterday at noon. THE JAPANESE NAVY. It is somewhat remarkable that just at this time, when we are launching from our dockyards a flotilla of unarmoured gunboats of good offensive powers and speed, and of light draught of water in propor tion to their tonnage, the Japanese Government should be pursuing a precisely similar course, the gunboats our Admiralty are sending afloat being also intended specially for service on the coast of Japan and China, and those for the Japanese Government being constructed on the banks of the Thames. Three of these latter have already sailed from the Thames for Japan, and a fourth, the Assunta, made her trial trip on Saturday, and will follow her consorts in the course of a few days. The Assunta is a vessel of 280 tons, having a length between perpendiculars of 120 feet, a breadth of 22 feet, and a depth of 9 feet 10 inches. She is propelled by a pair of 30-horse power two-cylinder engines, the cylinders having a diameter of 251 inches, with a 14-inch length of stroke. They drive a single screw of two blades, the diameter being 16 feet, and the pitch 10 feet 6 inches. The boilers are placed with their backs to the engines, and the stockhole is thus kept distinct from the engine-room, but with side communication between the two ; and the boilers being low-built, with a space of between two and three feet between the tops of the boilers and the overhead deck beams, which gives perfect ventilation and keeps down the temperature of both engine room and stokehole. All the other arrangements between decks are of the same favourable character. In the after part there is, for so small a vessel, unusual spacious accom modation for the officers, in a commander's cabin, six cabins for other officers, and a ward room, or mess cabin. The magazines for po,vder and shell, adjoining the after cabins, have been built about double the size that is usually given in such vessels. The accommodation for the crew forward is ample for the number of men she will carry, and the holds below have good space for provisions, water, and stores. The armament of the vessel consists of one 6-inch muzzle-loading rifle, one 40-pounder breech loader, and two 24-pounder howitzers. The rig is that of a three-masted schooner, spreading a large area of canvas for the size of her spars. The Assunta was launched a few days previous to her trial trip, the vessel being sent afloat with steam up and all sails bent aloft, and a five hours' run under steam was at once taken down the river with her—a remarkable testimony to the efficiency of her machinery. On Saturday she left Gravesend at 7 a.m. on her official trial trip, in charge of Captain G-. W. Matthews, the machinery of the ship being in charge of Mr. Stevenson, acting managing engineer to the builders of the boat and her engines, the Messrs. Dudgeon, of Mil'wall. Tide, high water ; wind, W.S.W., strong. The engines averaged 132 revolutions per minute between Gravesend and Shornmeade Point. On opening Sheerness from the mouth of the river the wind was found freshen ing, and the little craft met a lively roll of a sea as she steamed down for the Admiralty measured mile off the Maplin sands, and for a run over the distance between the Nore and the Mouse light ships. The Fore light was passed at Bh. 2Gm. 405., and on reaching the Malpin two runs, with and against the tide, were made over the mile with the following results: No. of Speed of ship Steam. Vacuum. Revolutions run. knots. • lb. inches. of engines. 1 12.121 ... 30 25.5 136 -137 2 8.690 ... 30 25.5 136-136 Mean speed of the ship, 10.105 knots. The distance between the Nore and the Mouse light was run in 35 minutes, the revolutions of the engines taken six times during the run being 135, 135, 136, 137, 136, 136. The vessel, after her time runs over the Maplin mile and the distance between the North and the llaplin light vessels, was steered for the Downs, and her lower fore and aft sails set on her. Under this additional propelling power she spun along at groat syeed, Passing the Girdler light vessel at 10.20, the Prince' s Ch annel light vessel at 10.40, the Tongue light vessel at 11 o'clock, and rounded the North Forelatfl at 11 49 ; her rate of speed over this dis tance being 14 knots per hoiir. After rounding the North Foreland the wind drew rather more to the southward, and as the vessel stood on for the South Foreland it freshened again until it blew half a gale, the sails of the vessel now doing but little good, the wind coming short. The Gull light vessel was abeam half-an-hour after noon, and shortly after wards the Assunta was tacked and stood in for the land under Deal. On weathering the South Break buoy and the edge of the sand the vessel was kept away for the inner channel through Pegsvell Bay on her return towards Gravesend. The mouth of Ramsgate harbour was passed, and the Dike chan nel cleared at 1.18 p.m., and the North Foreland rounded again at 1.41. From the Foreland the run back to Gravesend was done under easy steam, and the Assunta reached her moorings off the Town pier at 7 p.m., after 12 hours' steaming. During all this day's work the engines were never stopped from the time of starting from Gravesend until the vessel's return in the evening, nor did a warm bearing or any other of the many little diffi culties so often met with on trial trips with new machinery occur to give trouble to the engineers or cause a slackening of speed. THE REFORAI .DEMONSTRA7 lON IN DUBLIN. (From the Freeman's Journal.) An aggregate meeting of citizens, called by the Lord Mayor upon a requisition presented to him, was held on Tuesday night, in the Mechanics' Institute Theatre, to receive a deputation of English Reformers, and to advance the cause of Irish Reform. The meeting was densely crowded, and great enthusiasm prevailed. Amongst those present were :—The O'Donoghue, M.P. ; Mr. Edmond Beales, M.A., President of the English Reform League ; Mr. Ernest Jones, Alderman Carter and Mr. Grant, of the Yorkshire Reform League, Leeds ; Councillor Burt, Glasgow, Presi dent of the Scottish .Reform League ; Councillor Moir, Vice-President of the Scottish Reform League ; Councilor Murray, Manchester ; Mr. Frederick Clayton, Manchester, Honorary Sec retary Northern Department of the English Re form League ; Mr.:James AP.Adam, Glasgow ; Rev. Mr. Mullins, P.P., Castle Pollard, &c. The LORD ALiYOR presided, and, in opening the proceedings, avowed his belief that if the Irish people were true to themselves they would obtain Reform and an amendment of their grievances. He went on to say : I have ever been for household suffrage untrammelled by the disastrous con dition of either residence or rates—(cheers)— , rates to enable an army of agents to pore over books, and find out whether a man has paid his poor -rates or no, and disfranchise him if he won't vote for the candidate in whose pay they are. (Hear.) That system has been known and prac tised in Ireland, and it had been known and prac tised in England. And many of those who at tempted to carry this bill by their votes--a great charter of rights, as I believe it to be—still hope to disfranchise 50 per cent. of the workmen of England. (Hear, hear.) lam conscious this meeting will exhibit that harmony and good temper which ever characterize Irish assemblies ; that you will hear our English friends. They have not come here as enemies and foes, as many of their nation have done. They have come hero as friends. (Cheers.) And I believe that if you inaugurate the movement here to-night, it will spread through out the country, and that when the Chancellor of the Exchequer comes to Ireland he will go back to the Cabinet and say they must have an Irish Reform Bill. (Cheers.) I believe my friends here wish, as an act of simple justice, to present an address to Mr. Beaks. (Cheers.) Mr. P. J. STANLEY, Secretary of the Irish Reform League, read the following letter : Wildbad, Aug. 30, 1867. Dear Sir,—Your letter of the 24th instant having arrived at my house after I left England, has only just reached me. I have long been convinced that complete justice to Ireland was scarcely to be hoped for, unless preceded by a reform of Parliament sufficiently thorough to take away the present predominance of the landed interest, and transfer a large share of political power to classes who are not under the influence of landed or Church pre judices. There is considerable reason to hope that the Parliamentary Reform which we have now obtained may, at least in some degree, accomplish this. Whatever power has been gained by the working classes or by the advanced Liberals will, I am convinced, be used for the complete redress of the grievances of Ireland on the two most fun damental points, the Church and the land. On the former, they will aim at perfect religious equa lity, not in my opinion by the endowment, but by the disendowment of all religions. On the land question they will, I believe and hope, be satisfied with nothing short of complete assurance to the tenant that all value added to the land by his labour or expenditure shall belong to himself ; together with a well-combined system of measures for the formation of a numerous body of small proprietors, either cultivating their own land, or secured by a permanent tenure at a quit rent. I entertain a sanguine hope that this will also be the policy of the leaders of the Liberal party. By firm union of Britisli and Irish Liberals on these principles, the grievances of Ireland may soon be redressed, and the embittered feel ings which those grievances have engendered will not long survive them. There is no wish in any section of the British people to be unjust to Ireland ; for many years past the source of mischief has not been in any selfish intentions of the na tion, or even of the ruling classes. Ignorance of what the circumstances of Ireland require and ' deeply-rooted prejudices—namely, less hurtful to England than to Ireland, are the causes of the evil. The ignorance is now rapidly becoming dispelled, and the prejudices in the minds of the working classes, and of the advanced Liberals, do not exist. An era of hope, therefore, is opening for Ireland, which, if improved by wise and harmonious action on the part of your representatives and of ours, may make the connection between the two countries an unalloyed benefit to both. In addition to the two great subjects which I have already touched upon, there are, no doubt, many other matters which will demand legislation. On these it will be for the Irish people, after due deliberation, to make their opinions and wishes known to the Reformed Par liament ; and I have no fear that the course which shall most approve itself to intelligent Irishmen, will fail to obtain the support of English Liberals. The most pressing of these subjects is the reform of the representation, and I would strongly urge the Irish Reformers to prepare the heads of a bill, which, while embodying the essentials of a real Parliamentary Reform, may be such as can be offered to the Parliament which passed the English Reform Bill with a fair chance of being adopted, and to give to such a bill their united support.—l am, dear sir, yours very sincerely, " J. S. MILL." The Honorary Secretary then read the following address to Mr. Beaks : " Dear Si r ,—Th4 counc il an d mem b ers o f th e Irish Reform League desire, on this, your first visit to Ireland, to tender you their warmest welcome, and to offer you their heartiest congratulations on the success which has attended the labours of the National Reform League of England, of which you are the esteemed and able president. Much of that success is due to your wise and prudent counsels, to your indomit a bl e energy, to your loyalty to prin ciples, and to your unswerving course of upright conduct. Your knowledge of law enabled you to defeat the Government in the Hyde -park proceed ings, of world-wide notoriety, when the Govern- ment and its officers were obliged to admit that they were wrong and you were right. Their Parks Bill you were mainly instrumental in defeating, and the Reform Bill, giving household and lodger suffrage in English boroughs, is due almost entirely to you and the bold and manly course taken by the National Reform League. Mr. Disraeli had the sense to understand 6 the signs of the times,' and, dragging the Tory coach up-hill, he carried a measure which a year before it was only through the medium of yourself and others, it was said, any could be found to demand. Even Tory lords state that the Reform Bill is your work rather than that of the Government. We rejoice with you in the success of your efforts. We feel satisfied you will carry the ballot also ; and tho Irish Reform THE SUN, LO_NOON. MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1867 League, determining to follow the noble example which you have set them, are resolved to pursue the same course of constitutional agitation, until every Irishman living on Irish soil shall possess the franchise. Thanking you and your friends for this friendly visit, we beg to offer you our warmest sympathies and support in the struggle in which you are so manfully engaged.--Signed, on behalf of the Council, " O'lloNoolluE, President. P. J. SHANLEY, Secretary." Mr. BEALES having returned thanks, The O'DoNoctuE, on coming forward, was re ceived with cheers which lasted several minutes. He said—My Lord Mayor and citizens of Dublin, I gladly find myself taking a part in a meeting which has been assembled for the purpose of enabling the citizens of Dublin to express their determination to co-operate with zeal and persever ance in a movement by which it is proposed to secure for the Irish people those political rights and privileges which are at present exclusively possessed by, and exercised for, the benefit of a small section of the community. (Applause.) Although I cannot claim the rights of citizenship, yet I cannot look upon myself as a stranger amongst you. (Applause.) According to my no tion of things every true Irishman must consider himself a citizen of Dublin. (Hear, hear.) In my eyes Dublin has ever been the metropolis of our country, and ought to be the head-quarters of na tionality. (Applause.) The very stronghold and citadel of patriotism, and the permanent leader in every movement having for its object the deve lopment either of our material interests or our political liberties. (Applause.) The chief city of almost every nation has associations connected with it which gives it a special interest in the eyes and a special place in the heart of the patriot. When on occasions like this I find myself taking a part with the citizens of Dublin, I never can forget that we are in the midst of a great capital, once the seat of the Legislature—(applause ; and a voice : " three cheers for Repeal ")—the scene of those me morable events in history which stir the blood and raise the drooping spirits, even at the saddest and darkest hour, and that fills the heart with hope that by doing duty fearlessly and faithfully—by acting in accordance with the dictates of reason and common sense—(hear, hear)—by not allowing our overflowing love of country and enthusiasm to get the better of our prudence—(cries of 44 hear ") we may yet be enabled to accomplish for our own immortal Ireland (enthusiastic cheering) much, if not all, for which our fathers struggled. (Continued cheering.) When we take part in political discussions here our acts derive from the genius of the place a political which heh importance, noother a significance can an d p national nsse ss, a n solemnity there fore it is that I rejoice to - day that this over locality over flowing meeting of the citizens of Dublin came prepared to take a prominent part—to take the lead in the movement for Parliamentary Reform for the Irish people. (Loud cheers.) I have the honour of standing before you this evening as Pre sident of the Irish Reform League—(hear, and cheers) —and it is in that capacity I am going to propose to you this resolution. (Hear, hear.) The object we are asked to attain through the agency of our organization is this, that the Irish nation should govern itself through a body of representatives fairly and fully chosen by the peo ple. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) How this can be done is set forth in this resolution, which demands a franchise based upon the principle of registered residential manhood suffrage, pro tected by the ballot. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Here then is the object we have in view, and here are the means by which we propose the attainment of this object. I maintain that the ob ject is beyond all dispute good in itself—(hear, hear)—and it is not merely good in itself, but that owing to the peculiar circumstances of the present time that object is eminently practical. (Hear, hear.) I say it is an object the immediate realisation of which is urgent, if we would become as other nations have become through the same means, the masters of our own destiny, as far as that is humanly possible, and if we would escape in the future from the anarchy, turmoil, and revo lution which must be the inevitable result of that oligarchical domination which binds us to the earth—(cheers)—and which withholds from us that political justice which is our birthright. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now, why do I say that the circumstances of the present time are pecu liarly favourable to the success of our undertak ing ? Because it is au indisputable fact that in this movement we have the thorough co-opera tion of the Scottish and English people. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) They are with us, because they know that the cause of Reform is just— because they know that it is their cause as well as ours ; but I will say they are with us also, not merely because they know the cause of Re form to be just, and to be a common cause, but from a sentiment of brotherly affection, and rfreonms people desire—to eo srir desire teh—e tg great e a a l t s makew r o o I n g r e s w p t i a r l h l a a t t s i h o a a n y , : e t o t h o e e t u h a e h e g, Irish p n i e s e dh ienßg.r)itishwGhoyvdernninaerrntivoen tahtemth.is(Eenentheulusisaiestnic?

The O'DoNoGImE continued—Because I saw the English Reform League, with our friends and fel low-labourers, Mr. Beales in the chair—(cheers) —pass a resolution deprecatory of harsh measures. I saw on each side of me signs that if prejudices did exist—that if national prejudice did exist--the sense of justice had overcome that prejudice in the minds of Englishmen, and that in Ireland-- old Ireland—(cheers) —we might without a com promise of honour, without a stain on her nationa lity, unite with such generous and sincere friends in obtaining for them and for ourselves those poli tical rik hts which I believe in my inmost soul those Englisl me a who will help us mean that we should use in IA hatever way is pleasing to the Irish people. (Loud cheers.) I will say for myself, and I will say for my countrymen, if it be not too presump tuous—(no, no)—that that is the sense in which we accept their co-operation. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) A VOICE—We want some advice. (Laughter.) The O'DONOGIME—There is no doubt— I am sorry to have troubled you at such length—(cries of No, no)—there is no doubt that the Reform Bill which passed through the British Parliament last session has put us far up on the road towards the attainment of our political rights. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I think it would be a mere waste of time to enter into any proofs to satisfy you that the present representation of this country is the most complete humbug that ever was known. (Cheers.) We all know what is thcought of Par liamentary action in these days, and we know that the opinion which is entertained of it is the result of this fact—of the utter impossibility of passing one single popular measure through the British Parliament. (Cries of 44 He ar, hear." There are in Ireland some 200,000 electors ; 170,000 of these are county electors, altmost every one of whom must vote exactly as hi landlord pleases. (Hear, hear, and groans') Thu remain ing 30,000 are borough electors, and in. most of the boroughs the constituencies are so very small that it would be next to a miracle if corruption did not prevail to a very great extent in these boroughs. (Hear.) Now, I will only say that I believe in my conscience that the coursetfor us to follow is to co-operate with the masses of the English people, who have given us, I maintain, the most unmistakable proof of their generosity— (hear, hear)—and unite with them and endeavour to secure for this country the widest possible ex tension of the franchise with the protection of the ballot. (Cheers.) As there are a good many of our friends here who are going to address you, and as the heat is a trifle—(laughter)--I will now read the resolution for you :—" That this meeting, whilst claiming for Ireland an immediate exten sion of the Parliamentary franchise at least equal to that conceded to the English electors, and pro posed to be conceded to those of Scotland, ex presses its deep conviction that no suffrage short of residential registered manhood suffrage will or ought to be permanently satisfactory to the people of either Ireland, England, or Scotland." (The O'llonoghue resumed his seat amidst loud and long continued cheering.) Mr. O'DONNELL seconded the resolution, which Glasgow, and carried was una n s i u m p o p u o s r l t y e . d by Mr. Mom, of ,The moved—" R t v. 'P de P ep"ly impressed with Castle Pollard, the prudent action of the English Reform League, Rev. That l thisr. meetingN , and in view of the success it has already attained, mov is prepared cordially to unite with that League in agitating for the ballot, the more especially as the circumstances of the voters in this country imperatively require that they should have that protection to enable them to exercise the franchise with freedom and independence." Mr. MowATr seconded the motion, which was supported in an eloquent speech by Mr. ERNEST JONES and carried. Mr. COOKE moved—" That this meeting earnestly calls upon the people of Ireland to unite in sup porting the Irish Reform League by the forma tion of local branches, and in enabling it to co operate in continued action with the Reform Leagues of England and Scotland, for establishing the political rights, without distinction, of the whole people of the three countries." Mr. CLEARY seconded the motion, which was sup - ported by Mr. GRANT, of Leeds, and Mr. FREDERICK CLAYTON, Secretary to the Northern Department of the Reform League, and carried. A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor concluded the proceedings. PRESIDEN2' LINCOLN AND SENATOR DOUGLAS; The following letter been addressed to the b ---- a editor of the Anglo-American Vines : Sir,—Ade v, a debate took of place great isinbthteeisiteatoflllinois in 1858, which importance, whether considered in relation to the question de bated, the talents of the speakers, the offices to which they aspired, the impression it made on the popular mind, or the results it secured, the chief of which was the election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presi dency. Lincoln, a native of a slave state, who was yet to become chief of the Abolitionists, was then determinedly resisting the extension of slavery, while Douglas, a native of a free state, who had been known for twenty years as the ablest, most indefatig able, and most unscrupulous adversary to emanci pation, was attempting to open the flood-gates to slavery, that it might pour itself abroad and find no limits but at the Pacific Ocean. Both Lincoln and Douglas were the children of poor parents ; both toiled at manual labour ; both were determined to rise; both were able men ; both made the great West the field of their enterprise ; both studied law 'at Springfield ; both became lead ing politicians, and rose rapidly, one in the Whig, the other in the Democratic, party. The chief article then in the creed of the Demo cratic party was that the Federal Government had net the constitutional power to exclude slavery from the Territories, an article which defied justice and denied American history. For the Federal Go vernment by the ordinance of the North-West ex cluded slavery from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi gan, and Wisconsin when they were territories; it also excluded siavery by the Missouri Compromise from the territories north and west of the state of Missouri. Then, too, the chief article n the creed of the Republican party was, "No more slave states no more slave territory." For many years the slaveholders bad made and unmade the Presidents of the United States, and Douglas, who was ambitious, determined to gain rihaCiompromise, and had their favour, with the ho p e that su t e h e e e y ed w e o d u a ld s snelankae by the Democrats as a can did a t e f or e ivsv a i d ais y rsei h nu e Kansas himre been in and be bad now nominated President . repealing re-election to the Se nate, an office which he valued as thus caused the civil war a stepping-stone to the Presidencl. Lincoln had been nominated as candidate for the same senatorial office by the Republicans; and both Lincoln and Douglas were to travel through the State, meet the people in their primary assemblies, and each defend in debate the policy of the party he represented. By this means the Americans try the nature of the candidate for popular favour. Lincoln opened the canvass of the State at once in a "terse, forcible, and thoroughly Radical speech, wherein he enunciated the then startling, if not ab solutely novel, doctrine that the American Union could not permanently endure half slave and half free." He said, Ido not expect the Union to be dissolved ; Ido not expect the house to fall, but Ido expect that it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other." _______ 4 1e, and contended, ig popular s overeignty, " that the people in each Territory sh ould decide the question foonr D t htoheueg g r oundallassel y o f themselves s promptly whether t o establish or exclude in reply, said, "This slavery. Lincoln, Li tain nc t o h l a n t , self-government if one man chooses to enslave another, no third man should be allowed Thus an oral canvass of Illinois of " unequalled interest" for a seat in the Senate was prosecuted by these capable and practised popular debaters before immense audiences of their fellow- citizens up to the eve of the State election. Douglas, by a small majority, was elected Senator ; but he lost his hold it o amount s o object." j iect a . n ~to attempt just of the popular sympathy, and eventually the Pre sidency, the object for which he was striving. Lincoln failed in his efforts to gain a place in the Senate, but he obtained such a h o ld o f t h e p o pular sympathy that he was e l ected to the P res id enc y. Lincoln gained by the d e b ate nationa l re p u t e —an honour he had not previously enjoyed; while Douglas, who had p rev i ously been thus h onour ed, forfeited it in th e pro secu tion of the debate. Douglas, in his app eals to the peop l e, sa id, " Mr. Lincoln wants my p l ace. " This was true. Mr. Lincoln wanted hi s p l ace that he m i g ht r elieve the oppressed. Dou g l as wanted it from a d es ire to gain a still higher s ea t. The one had a b enevo l en t, the other a selfish, mo ti ve. In mental a bili ty Lincoln and Douglas were alike, but how differe n t was their training ! The talents of Douglas wer e d eveloped and exerc i se d a t an early period of his lif e . For this the pra i se i s d ue to the State rather than the wan. Vermont has a stony soil, but it was never trodden by a slave. In care ful mental culture, in high morality, in regard for religion, in freedom from party intrigue and the leadership of demagogues, Vermont stood unrivalled among the States. The citizen, before he gives his first vote, must take the freeman's oath. IVith his hand uplifted he must swear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States, as well as to the Constitution of the State of Vermont. Now forth from such a State and such training came Douglas to be the champion of the slave power, and to laugh at human nature, and duty, and compassion. In the service of his slave-masters he dared to say he was ashamed of his native State of Vermont ! Lincoln came from the " dark and bloody ground" —Kentucky,where slave-law and lynch-law held their carnivals, where a c l asp was p l ace d on the lips of the ministers and e di tors, an d w h e re the curse of the Almighty was on t h e c l asp ; w here knowledge was a terror, a n d e d ucat i on a crime. It was a disadvantage th a t hi s ta l ents w ere developed and exercised later in life than those of Douglas. Ile was, however, humane, and had a strong sense of duty—qualities that Douglas did not seem to com prehend, yet they proved more than a match for the talents of Douglas with all their brilliance, and for his wits with all their sharpness. On entering upon his political life Lincoln united with the Whig party, which contained a number of conscientious men ; but it was immensely outnum bered by the Democratic party, of which Douglas became a member. Lincoln was a closer student than Douglas; while the former pursued his know ledge of the law in his library, the latter pursued his knowledge of political parties, not among lawyers, but among liquor-sellers. The one became a master of low principles, the other became a master in the management of party machinery. Lincoln imbibed the principles of the Western Citizen, the anti-slavery paper of the West, which he read regu larly, a paper that declared the identity of the prin ciples of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 with those of the anti-slavery reform. The one de clared all men were free and equal, and the other declared that the slaves were men, and therefore had a right to liberty. The Western Citizen con tended that slavery was an incubus resting on all the energies of the people, and the nation must sink under it, or rise by carrying out the principles of 1776 and emancipating the slaves ; and Mr. Lin coln declared that the States could not endure half free and half slave—that liberty or slavery must pervade the entire nation. He was the determined foe of the extension of slavery. If for this the State honoured him with office, well and good ; if it did not, he valued principle more than office, and should be content. Douglas, however, would not touch the anti-slavery principles with one of his fingers. He was determined to be President, and knew that if it were ever suspected at the South that he constantly received and read an anti-slavery newspaper he would not receive a vote from any slave State. In the large assemblies that listened to the debate of Lincoln and Douglas, there were but few who were natives of Illinois. It was a new State, and its residents had come from every State in the Union, and from nearly all the nations of Europe, seeking cheap bread, or cheap land, or greater reli gious or political liberty. Lincoln appealed to their sense of right ; Douglas to their prejudices. The latter regarded the people as the raw material which he designed by dexterous manipulation to increase into the Democratic party, or as raw recruits to be formed into platoons and brigades to be commanded by himself. Hence, to suit the pro-slavery Southerner, he became a slaveholder ; to the Irish he denounced England's policy and Government; to the free trader be was tke foe of the tariff ; he plunged upon the prejudices of classes, and complexions, and national, antipathies, as a skilful performer plays upon his accustomed instrument. Lincoln was friendly to the coloured people, he was the resistant of slavery exertion, and the advocate of fraternity between England and America—a policy which he pursued when he became President. Such were the men, such their principles. But what of the result ? Just as the prize for which Douglas had laboured was falling into his hands, the slaveholders struck it aside, and it fell into the hands of Lincoln. Douglas valued himself on his ability to read men, but he never fathomed the designs of the slaveholders. lie trusted in them, and found, too late, that he had leaned on a reed which pierced his hand. _ _ The Democratic party could make whom it would President ; such was its power, and it was united in the choice of Douglas. This party was con trolled by the slaveholders, and they viewed with alarm the progress of the anti-slavery reform in the North. So rapidly was it changing public opinion that if the Union continued slavery would every where become disreputable, and be abolished by law. To guard against this result they determined to dissolve the union of the States. If Lincoln should he elected President, it would furnish the pretext for the dissolution ; and if the Democratic party should be divided, it would secure the election of Lincoln. This plan was, therefore, adopted. Two candidates were nominated for the Presidency by the Democrats—Douglas, who said that the people of a territory could exclude slavery ; Breck enridge, who denied them this power. E'uch was the ground of difference. The vote of the Demo crats was divided between them, the party was weakened, the Republicans prevailed, and Lincoln was elected. Bitter was the disappointment of Douglas, for he lost the object of his life labours. As Senator, his honours were soon surrendered, for his health failed him. He felt, however, that there was one duty to be performed before his earthly labours closed, and that he did. Ten thousand people assembled in the large temporary building in Chicago, where Lincoln was nominated for the Presidency, to hear Douglas relate and review his political life. He depicted his unwearied efforts to strengthen the slave power, hoping for a reward in the nomination for the Presidency ; and then de scribed the ungratefulness and treachery of the slaveholders. He had aided them to promote their designs, and now they had cast him aside as an instrument of no further use, that they might ruin the nation and protect slavery. Then with all his power he urged them to support Lincoln, and to consecrate to the preservation of the Union their property, lives, and sacred honour. Virtually this was his dying appeal. He returned to his house, which he never left till he was borne to the grave. Because of this speech the people forgave him his pro-slavery conduct, and the hands of Lincoln were strengthened throughout the North. Thus Douglas, who would have rivetted the fet ters of the slave, was excluded from the highest office, and thus Lincoln obtained it. Hav ing come into power with an anti-slavery pur pose, Lincoln, in the course of his administration, resolved that should the opportunity present itself he would emancipate the slaves. This vow he re corded in the presence of God. The opportunity came, and Lincoln fulfilled his vow, knowing that in doing so he imperilled his own life. The slaves were set free, and soon afterwards Lincoln fell a martyr. In Illinois there are four graves of special interest—those of Lovejoy, Lundy, Dougl as, and Lincoln. The first anti-slavery martyr, the anti-slavery pioneer, the pro-slavery Senator, and the President martyr. When Lovejoy was slain, Lundy entered into his labours, and by him and his co-labourers the public mind in the West was prepared to elect Lincoln to the Presidency ; and by the writings of Lundy and hidsuccessor the mind of Lincoln was imbued with anti-slavery principles. To the appeals in behalf of these principles Douglas turned a deaf ear, though they came from the grave of Lovejoy—from the pulpit of his brother in Illinois, Owen Lovejoy—from the press of Lundy and his successor--and from Lin coln in the debate. He was running a race, and feared that if he paused to pity the slave he might miss the prize. But the race is not always to the swift, and be did miss the prize. Lincoln paused in the race, pitied the slave, and gained fresh power, and won the prize. Every passing day witnesses the new hopes and the high purposes cherished in the hearts of millions of American citizens, the existence of a which they gratefully trace to Lincoln, the emancipator and martyr.—Yours very truly, EDWARD MATHEWS. PETROLEUM FUEL.—In the process of burning petroleum for steam fuel, a small quantity of the surplus steam, after passing through a superheater, is intro duced at the same time with the oil, and is found to add greatly to tho intensity and volume of the flame. It is claimed that this steam is introduced in a semi-decomposed state—that is, with the affinity between the oxygen and hydrogen, of which it is composed, so weakened, that when produced directly within the flame of the oil it burns rapidly, without any appreciable ex traction of heat from that produced by the burning oil. In fact, when so presented, the re-union of the oxygen and hydrogen is so rapid that a groat increase of heat is produced in the flame. The superheating is accom plished by waste heat, or heat which could not otherwise be brought to bear upon the water surfaces of the boiler. The problem of burning water, which has heretofore been pronounced an absurdity, so far as any practical advantage can be derived therefrom may be con cerned, appears to bo, by this device, pretty effectually and satisfactoi ily accomplished. At all events there is an evident increase of steam production over and above that employed under the furnace by this use of steam. The fact appears to be patent, and scientists will evidently have to admit and explain it.—Mining and Scientific Press. MR. MACCABE'S E N7ER7AINMENT AT THE EGYPTIAN BALL. Mr. Frederic Maccabe, the incomparable mimic, having installed himself in the apartment lately tenanted by Ernst Schultz, is now nightly giving an entertainment of the most attractive description. Since we first had the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Maccabe to London, he has very greatly improved the entertainment he then introduced to us, so that it now may be said to be perfectly unique. It consists, as it did originally, of a variety of impersonations, male and female, and whilst we are again intro duced to Miss Mary May, and other favourites, Mr. Maccabe has given us various others that render " Begone, Dull Care" the most attractive entertain ment now performing in the, metropolis. The great peculiarity of Mr. Maccabe's entertainment is the rapidity with which the changes of character are effected, hardly has the clever mimic announced the arrival of the different visitors than they are at once introduced to the audience in propria personr. The change for Miss Mary May is really astonishing. Mr. Maccabe has but just made his bow in full even ing costume, then he appears in the character of the sympathetic young lady in ball dress, with earrings, bracelets, gloves, fan, and all the elegant little etceteras that make up the most piquant toilette. The vocal illustrations are also of the greatest excellence, and that they are of ability the familiar sound of the now well-known song " Early in the morning" abundantly testifies. Mr. Maccabe, being a clever composer, a talented instrumentalist, and a capital dramatic performer, is enabled, unaided, to place before the public an entertainment of the greatest excellence, and one which, we beg leave to say, is in every way worthy of universal patron age. Miscellaneous Foreign News. Mr. F. M. Shaw writes from Camp 20, Central Pacific Railroad, as follows As this great artery of commerce nears completion to this point and be yond, it may be interesting and profitable to take a brief survey of some of the various legitimate openings for enterpriseand capital which it presents. The first paying business, and the one that will strike the observer most forcibly, is the timber and lumber production, and the facility with which it is convertible. The unlimited water-power of the Truckee and its tributaries offer un usual inducements for embarking in this branch of business. Who will doubt for a moment the pro fitableness of this business conducted by organised experience and capital, when we consider the de mand that already exists for the product of the forest and saw mills throughout the entire mineral regions for 200 miles eastward—entirely destitute of timber suitable for any purpose except fuel— and the increased demand which cheaptrranspor tation must inevitably create ? The unlimited amount of water-power afforded should induce the manufacture of every article of utility ca pable of being produced from the pine, cedar, and tamarac, such as all the varieties of finishing materials for buildings, furniture, sash, doors, blinds, buckets, staves, clap-boards, shingles, laths, mouldings, pan e li n g, fl o oring, &c., to say nothing of fencing, logging, and cheap lumber. " Next in magnitude and importance will be the getting out, sorting, and reducing to shipping order the rich copper and silver ores so abundant in the Peavine and Humboldt districts. Already far-see ing and moneyed men are preparing to take ad vantage of these unequalled opportunities for en riching themselves, and it would be well if many more should come and take a share in the harvest which so surely awaits the enterprising."—Mining and Scientific Press.

The following letters are of great interest and importance, and will be read attentively by many who have been rendered uneasy by the infamous reports circulated to add to the gains of dishonest speculators in Now York : Treasury Department, Aug. 17, 1867.—A. 11. Van Dyck, Esq., Assistant Treasurer, New York.— Sir—l have received from .you Nos. 1 and 2 of the Globe, which seems to be devoted to assaults upon the Treasury Department and the national credit. No man in the country has a deeper interest than myself in knowing whether or not there have been over issues in the Printing Bureau of the Treasury Department. I have, therefore, as you have already been advised, caused a searching examination of that bureau to be made, from its organisation up to the 24th of January last, by some of the most com petent and reliable employes of this department. From their report I am satisfied that there have not been any over issues of Government securities, or Government obligations of any kind ; and that the reports whichave been so industriously circulated in your city and in other parts of the country, in regard to the frauds in the Treasury Department, are without foun dation. Tho public may rest satisfied that the monthly statements of the condition of the Treasury, over the sig nature of the Secretary, aro entirely correct. All state ments in regard to the suppression of reports of examining committees aro likewise groundless. 1 enclose a copy of the partial report of the committee, made to me on the 22d of March last, which was extensively published at the time. The full report confirms the conclusion of the com mittee as stated in their partial report. I am, very truly, yours, 11. la:tilled', Secretary of tho Treasury. Treasury of the United States, Washington, March 22, 1867. Sir,—The committee appointed by you "to examine all securities, perfect or imperfect, prepared or in course of preparation, together with all plates, dies, &c., in the possession of Mr. S. M. Clark, Chief of the First Di vision National Currency Bureau," respectfully report— That since January 31, the date of a partial report made by themin reference to the examination thus directed, they have been daily employed in the duty assigned them ; and as some time must elapse before a final report can be made they deem it advisable to make a further partial report : viz.: That the committee have made a careful investiga-. tion with reference to the issuo of bonds, Treasury notes, and coupons, and, up to the present time, find no evi dence that there has been any fraudulent or over issue of such securities by the Government of the UnitodStates, through the Treasury Department, or otherwise; and they do not hesitate to express the opinion, based upon the in vestigation, that no fraudulent over issue has lnen made. An examination of the office of the Register of the Trea sury, in which redemption of such securities are registered, confirms the opinion; the apparent duplication, to a very small amount, of Treasury notes and coupons, being most reasonably accounted for, as being errors made in num bering, cr by alterations made after their issue.

William Thompson, a telegraph repairer on the Union Pacific Railroad, was scalped by the Indians just before the capture of the train at Plum Creek station. lie escaped with his life, as ho had sufficient firmness to re frain from calling out while undergoing the terrible pro cess he describes. He had been removed to Omaha, where he told the following interesting story :---" About 9 o'clock, Tuesday night, myself and five others left Plum Crook station, and started up the track on a hand-car to hunt up where the break in the telegraph was. When we came to where the break proved to be, we saw a lot of ties piled on the track, but at the same moment Indians jumped up from the grass all around, and fired on us. We fired two or three shots in return, and then, as the Indians pressed on us, we ran away. Au Indian on a pony singled mo out, and galloped up to me. After coming to within ton feet of me ho fired, the bullet entering my right arm ; seeing me still run, he "clubbed his rifle," and knocked mo down. He then took out his knife, stabbed me in the neck, and then making a twirl round his fingers with my hair, ho commenced sawing and hacking away at my scalp. Though the pain was awful, and I felt dizzy and sick, I new enough to keep quiet. After what seemed to be half an hour, he gave the last finishing cut to the scalp on my left temple, and as it still hung a little, he gave it jerk. I just thought then that I could have screamed rei life out. I can't describe it to you. It just felt as if the whole head was taken right off. The Indian then mounted and galloped away, but as he went he dropped my scalp within a few feet of DIP, which I managed to get and hide. The Indians were thick in the vicinity, or I then migh t have made my escape. While lying down I could hear the Indians moving around whispering to each other, and then shortly after placing obstructions on the track After lying down about an hour and a half, I heard the low rumbling of the train as it came tearing along, and I might have been able to flag it off had I dared."
