DEATH OF SURVIVOR or Moscow AND
TERLITz.-Mchael Kerahner died in Fai-
staff, Maine, on the 12h ult., aged eighty-fVe
years and six months. The FarmingtoD
Patriot of the 23d nit. says:
The deceased was a soldier in the armies of
France for fourteen years and nine months,
and served under Napoleon Bonaparte in bis
campaigns in Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany,
Prussia and Russia was in the battles Of
Moscow, AUsterlitz, and several Others. He
was wounded severely three times-once in the
head by bullet, once by stroke of a cutlas
on the head, and oncR by a bayonet thrust
through the thigA, Three years Of his service
were spent in the artillery, and the remainder
in the cavalry According to practice in the
French army, whea he was in the artillery his
right arm was marked by printing the picture
of man in red Indian ink, with the number
Of his company, regiment, etc, and when in
the cavalry, by printing A man and horse on
his breast, in red and blue. These prints were
very plain and distinct upon him when laid in
dis last resting-place. He was buried with
martial honors.

GEN. FREMoNT's PRocLAMATIoN.-Th Gin
cinnati Commercial, sensation sheet, a ready
panderer to the tastes of the stronger party in
its section, approves of Fremont's proclama-
tion, of course. As the Commercial is an echo
of the sentiments of Ohio Black Republicans,
we give our readers these extracts from that
paper:
The proclamation addressed to the people Of
Missouri, Saturday, by Gen. Fremont, is the
subject Of general discussion. The morbid
sensitiveness Of the public mind, regarding the
relate of slavery and the civil war, is likely
to cause an exaggerated view of the conse-
quences of this proclamation. 1t is, indeed,
simply the recognition of military necessity.
According to the Fremont proclamation, only
the property of traitors in arms against the
government is confscated.
He denies entering into the negro trading
business, and that is all there is Of it. Even
the negro traders must admit that very little Of
value is likely TO be lost, in this destroying the
property in confiscated negroes, for, while the
blockade lasts, the negro market in Missouri
IS dull. We doubt whether Gen. Fremont
could find sale for the negroes even if he should
attempt to realize on such as may fall into his
hands. The SecessioBists would be ridiculous
to complain Of Fremont for extinguishing a

staff are now here. No enemy was met during
the march. The report that Gen. Prentiss
took 500 prisoners is therefore false.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, September 3.-The Dem
ocratic convention, tomorrow, bids fair to be
the largest held for many years. The express
sion, generally, seems favorable to vigorous
prosecution Of the war; against aay separa-
ton Of States, and in favor OF holding the forts
of rebel States-also condems the States peiicy
of the Republicans, and favoTs reconstruction
Of the Cabinet.
The Times Washington correspondence says
it has been determined by fhe government to
hold the position at Fort Hateras although the
original intention was to destroy and aban-
don the work. 1t will now be made TendeZ-
vous for army and naval f)Ic e.
This expedition is but the commencement Of
operations for which the Navy department has
made ample preparation, and which will be
rapidly developed

Arrest OF a New York Merchant.

New YoRK, August 3.-John c. Rahming,
a meTcb ant Of SO, South street, was arrested
last evening, on a charge of treason. 1t is al
legged that Rahming, some time ago, endeav-
ored to induce the captain of the schooner
Arctic to proceed to Nassau, n. p Bahamas,
and take thence number Of cannon to Will
mington, N. c. The captain declined to enter
in the business, and subsequently the matter
came to the knowledge of the police authori-
ties. Raining is native of the West Indies.
He was sent to Fort Lafayette.
The prisoners taken at Hatteras are to be
placed on board the hull Brandywine.

they be go absurd as to presume that the United
States army, whose pickets they are popping at
from the bushes, and which they are employ
ing all deadly agencies in their bands to de-
stroy, will devote itself to taking care Of their

business to transact, to either guard the plant

tically made free by the act of their masters.

Sin: My attention was called to-day on my

in "one or two Of the more recent letters of

of reading my letters. | never alluded TO
Captain Meagher but in reference to his ap-
pearance at CentPTvi'le. The officers signing
the letter did not see him, they say, after the

All ther troops, save few necessary to
guard the approaches to the grounds, have
been removed from the Capitol, and the
work of cleaning for the approaching ses-
sion of Congress is now in full blast. On
the lower floor the long and spacious passa-
yes are almost completely blocked up with
barrels Of -four, leaving Ouly sufficient
space for two persons to pass abreast con-
sequently no cleaning has yet commenced
10 that portion Of the building. But on the
floor of the Senate and House, in the galle-
les, committee rooms aud adjoining passa-
ges, although but one "dOse" Of soap and
ea0d has been applied, all grease, tobacco
and filth, which so much abOunded few
days since, has completely disappeared,
aud another application will fully restore
these rooms to their pristine neatness and
beauty. In the committee rooms no no.
ticeable damage has been done to the fur
nituFe or drapery of the windows. The
large mirrors, gorgeous chandeliers, and

who have quartered there, Of whom 7, 100
occupied the building at one time. The
carpets have been taken up from the Sen
ate and the House floors, aud busy hands
are fast removing oil indications of their
late occupation. Taking into consideration
the character of many who have tarried
day after day in those balls. their condition
is snRPrising. The white Italian marble of
