learned that he was on "oficsl business" taking the
census Of the colored population He had got along very
well tn he came TO Little Water street. and here his
troubles commenced He had been three days counting
the inhabitants and still there was no end TO them ana
he really thought there were more yet to count than
when he commenced One house alone filled several pages
of his book but the greatest difficulty was to avoid mum
bering again the same parties There were so many
children all of the same size age and appearance, and
they kept flying about So that, to count them was as
much matter of impossibity, as to count flock Oh

Two MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES ON A
WAGER.-A day or two since we men,
toned the fact of the killing of two men
at lrvington, on the Hudson River
Railway. Their names have not yet
been ascertained, but it seems now that
one was a day laborer and the other
mechanic; that they had been linking
freely, and over their cups had made
wager that one would remain longer on
the track than the other when the train
was approaching. When they heard the
cars they linked arms and walked to-
ward the on-coming locomotive. Death
was before them, but neither ATTEMPTED
to unloose his hold nor step aride. Again
and again the engineer whistled and or
dered the breaks put down; but 1t was
too late; the locomotive struck the men,
and killed them instantly. The poor
fellows had nerve, certainly, which if
employed nationally, might have pro-
duced creditable results; but it appears
strange they could have been so bereft
of reason as to throw their lives away
on silly and trivial wager.-N y Iri-

MEXICO emi-official news has been
received from Mexico, Il portion of it In
q letter from General Arteaga, dated at
Tacambaro, State of Michoacan, OH the
18th ult He states that two cavalry
regiments of the Imperial army have
Joined him, and that Mexican officers,
coming from points occupied by the
French troops, are daily rendering him
their services.
The report that the Belgian prisoners,
captured at Tacambaio on the 18th of
April, and who left there under parole
when Arteagaevacuated the place, broke
their oath by joining the first French
force which arrived there, is fully con-
flrmed.
Macmillan is reported to have made
q contract with foreign spectators for
the introduction into Mexico of several
thousand of negroes, who are to be kept

their masters in case of ill-treatment.

SHERMANBANQuEr AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Indianapolis July 26.-The Sherman
banquet, given last night by the officers
and ex-officers Of the army, was a grand
affair, costing about $4,000.
Gen. Sherman, in responding to
toast, made lengthy and argumentative
speech, during which he said that his
ancestors, being in the sea-faring line,
had largely imported African slaves, and
he felt it his duty, as far as possible, to
atone in the future for the sins of his
ancestors. He considered the slaves
freed by the action of the secessionists,
and that it was the duty of the Govern
ment to protect and educate them. They
might be colonized in Florida, and adj
mitted to representation in Congress.
He opposed negro suffrage or indiscrimi-
nate intercourse with the whites. His
observations in Mexico and South
America led him to this conclusion.
He believed the whites must have q
governing influence, and believed Om-
impotence inaugurated the rebellion to
break down the legal hedge which pro-
tected slavery from the just indignation
of the civilized world. He thought
plenty of Southern States would vote
to ratify the constitutional amendment.
On the subject of military power he did
not feel that there was any usurpation,
but when the necessity passed he hoped
civil law would assume its sway.

Business of all kinds has been unusu-

week, despite the intense heat, which
rendered exposure at midday extreme
ly hazardous. The dry goods and fancy
stores shave been generally thronged with
fair customers, and farmers and others
from the country have crowded the
streets in large numbers, making their
necessary purchases of supplies and ar
ticles of prime necessity. A large bust
ness continues to be done in the fruit
trade, and thousands of bushels of
peaches, apples and other fruits, with
which the market is overstocked, have
been exported to the North, forming
quite an item of commerce, and fur
nishing our many steamships with
abundant business in the freight line.
Watermelons and cantelopes are going
to waste for want of consumers, and af
ford a cheap, though not very substan'
tial article of food for large class of oul
1t is a real pleasure to pass
through our market at early dawn, ant
