GROWTH AND PRoGREss OF THE PHoe.
,NIx.-We are preparing for expansion.
Our limits are cabinned, cribbed, conf.
ned. The demand upon our columns
enlarges daily, and we need to enlarge
with 1T. We expect new supplies of.
printing material this week, and next,
should this material arrive, the Phoant;n
will take her flight on broader wing.
The mails are now beginning to be car
rled with great regularity, the routes
are opening to nearly all the divergent
points, and, with very little, delay, the
Paant!n can now be made to reach every
District in tile State. Our country
friends, accordingly, will do well to Sc.
cure themselves, by prompt subscrip-
tlons, the benefits and blessings of the

A DESERVED CoMpLIMENT.-The
Nashville onion states that up to the
present time the greater number of ap.
pleants for special pardon and amnesty,
under the exception clauses of President
Johnson's proclamation, are ex,oficers
OF the late Confederate army. And it
adds:
These. men have fought CALAMITY, en-.
durcd. great hafdships and sufEerings,
and are familiar with the horrors OF
war They can appreciate properly the
blessings of peace, and are prepared, in
good faith and honesty, to resume their
duties and obligations as citizens. So
much confidence had Gen. Sherman in
the officers and soldiers of Johnston's
command, after mipgling with them sub.
sequent to their surrender, that he
would, i'll case Of invasion of the United
States, be willing to command them.

Barnum announces that his new Musuem
will open on Monday, Sept. 4th. He has
already, in FIVE spacious rooms, one hundred
thousand curiosies, mammoth aquiria, q
lecture room one third larger than the old one
and superior dramatic Co. He has over
one hundred workmen engaged on the second
building, to be used for that purpose.
Two buildings are situated just above the
St. Nicholas Hotel, on Broadway.
The Tribune's special says there is large
amount of cotton in South, particularly in
Alabama and Georgia, which, was sold to the
Confederacy under Mr.. J. D. B. Debons,
arrangements for which certificates only have
been given, the bonds not having been made
about the time when the celebrated Southern
Confederaey was compelled to suspend bust
ness. A very large amount of this cotton has
been captured already. Mr.. W. C. B.ddle,
of Montgomery, Ala, who was one Of the
first Alabamians to appear here, with his hat
in his hand and who was successful in his
application for pardon is now engaged in dri.
wing about the country assuring the victim that
the government of United States is liable for
all cotton, so situated that it may capture and
offer his services as counsel in such cases, for
contingent fee graduated according to tie
necessity of the client from ! to per cent

New York, Aug. 81,


The Heralds Richmond correspondent say:
the people Of that city on tuesday held their
so-called Union meeting, for which they had
some time previous been making extensive
preparations. The national flag tioated over
the rostrum, and the ears of the reformed
rebels present were greeted with the strains
of 9 Yankee Doodle and "The Star Span
gled Banner SO long ignored by them. All
the speakers were men who six months age
were prominent supporters of the jeff. Davis
confederacy. The resolutions adopted ex-
press Indignation at the imputation on the
part of northern people and journals that the
recaHting secessionists are not sincere in TAX
ing the oath of allegiance; pronounce such
imputations utterly groundless and false pro-
fess the warmest attachment to the National
Government, and acquiescence in the result
of the war, including the abolition Of slavery;
pledge confidence in and the greatest respect
for President johnson and Gov. Pierpout
and recommend that similar meetings be held
throughout the State.

Late Lieut.. Col. 22d Iowa.

TAxISG FIsH.-A little girl residing near a
pond in Massachusetts, has succeeded in
tanning some of the fish by throwing crumbs
of bread, crackers, &C., into the water. The
species called perch seem to be the most tract
able and docile. One of them often takes the
end of her finger in his mouth, while another
will glide gently into her hand and turn on
one side, and so remain, apparently reposing,
till quietly raised to the surface. The little
girl walks out on q plank, sustained few
inches above the water, and before she reach
es the end Of the plank the FISH may be seen
darting rapidly towards the feeding ground.
The larger ones. especially, are disposed to
drive of the smaller ones, but she keeps or
der among them by means of stick with a
sewing needle attached to the end of it, and
when one picks quarrel he gets stab, and is
off at once.-C Country Gentleman.

GLOOMY PRospEcrs IN CASADA.-The Her
aid Quebec correspondent says: The Cana
dians have already, to a certain extent, initi-
eted proceedings which their delegates in the
Detroit Commercial Convention said would
be the result OF q non-renewal by the United
States of the Reciprocity Treaty. This was
nothing less than throwing open their ports
along the border, and encouraging smuggling.
Smuggling is now carried on to al almost un-
limited extent along the frontier, and is said,
with the knowledge and connivance of the
Canadian Ministry. The correspondent de-
scribes the condition of the province as very
unpromising. The taxes and other burdens
are so heavy, and crops and trade prospects
40 poor, that thousands of the inhabitants
have already sold out, and emigrated to the
Far West.
Real estate has fallen rs per cent. in value
within the past eighteen months, and it is es-
timated that in the city of Toronto alone
there are l,S00 empty tenements.

GENERAL LOGAN AT CANP BurLER.-Govl
Oglesby, in company with Major Genera.
Logan, visited Camp Butler, Springfield, on
the 25th instant, and made seeech to the
troops there, in his own peculiarly happy and
forcible style. He reviewed the deeds Of all
the Illinois regiments that had been under his
command. and spoke of the 4eth as one of
the most gallant. This regiment is made up
of Egyptians, and he advised them to form no
combinations with those scoundrels in that
part Of the State who, for the past four years
have been keeping up FIRE in the rear; that
while the brave soldiers from our own State
had been fighting treason in the South, these
home rebels had been trying I'd uproot and
tear down the great national structure at
home. He could, upon . long probation, and
long one it must be, too, forgive common
rebels who had fought bravely in bad cause,
but as to these Northern traitors be could not
forget or forgive them, and doubted If the
loyal true soldiers Of Illinois would. The
General spoke for about an hour with impas-
stoned eloquence, and was chee1ed most up

From the London Pail Mall Gazette. ]


A conflict has occurred between the con-
stabulary and the Fenians, at place called
Dangan, in the county of Cork. The police,
seven in number, had arrested drunken and
disorderly man during the morning, it being
fair day in the village and some two hun
dred people attempted to effect his release by
force. The police, however, were successful
in resisting this attack. and repaired to cab
in in the vicinity with their prisoner. Atthis
stage young peasant, jumping on an elevat-
ed part of the ditch near, addressed the crowd
calling on them as ''true Fenians'' not to be
afraid Of "handful Of policemen" but show
''that they were able to fight for the freedom
of Ireland The crowd then attacked the
cottage into which the constabulary had en-
tered, breaking the doors and windows with
stones, and threatened to set fire to the house.
On this being attempted the police discharged
their rifles. three of them firing two shots
each, three others one shot, and one not firing
at all. The result was that three persons in
the crowd were seriously and one mortally
wounded. There are . great many sworn
Fenians in the county Of Cork but this is the
first occasion on which they have done worse
than drill and march by moonlight.
