A Fourth Of July Melee Between
Whites and Negroes.

New YORK, July 8.-The Herald's Fort
ress Monroe correspondent gives the fol-
lowing account of melee at Smithfield on
the 4th ...a rFe ..E
The excursion party to Smithfield COM
prised about 30 negroes belonging to the
quartermaster's department. Here they
went on the steamer Newton. On arriving
some opposition was made to the steamer
landing by the residents Of the place and
others, and when the Captain of the New
ton, Captain Lester, insisted on landing,
payment of wharfage was claimed. This
demand Captain Lester refused to pay, re-
ferring the claimants for indemnity to the
Government, for which the boat was char
tered. Meantime detachment of the Sd
New YORK cavalry, Major Ebbs command
ing, rode down from Suffolk to preserve
order, in anticipation that the day would
not end without disturbance. Robert Earle,
butcher of Norfolk and alleged leader of
the citizen crowd, drew a revolver on Capt.
Lester and was about to shoot him when
Major Ebbs interfered with his murderous
intent, by hitting him over the head with
his sabre, laying Earle's scalp open. In
the course of a subsequent melee private
John Grey, of Company G, Sd New York
cavalry, through mistaken disobedience of
orders, was shot through the lungs by one
of the sergeants and severely wounded.
Major Ebbs behaved very handsomely, and
but for his presence and the men under
him there doubtless would have been many
less negro excursionists return than went
out.
Gen. Miles, on the facts being reported to
him to-day, sent force to Smithfield with
orders to arrest the ringleaders of therciti-
zen assailants. I -. .. ..'.ts

From the Sandwich Islands.

New YORK, July S.-We have Sandwich
Island news to May Goth. The ex-Queen
Emma had sailed on board the British war
ship Clio for England, to visit Queen Vic
tOria. .n,f
1t will be remembered that one of the
midshipmen Of the Clio some time ago
took down the Eagle in front OF the Amer
ican Minister'S office, and was compelled to
replace it. Before the ship sailed, some Of
the Clos men, with the design of being
revenged for this humiliation, disgraced
themselves by singing ribald songs before
the Minister'S residence.
On receipt in Honolulu Of the news of
President Lincon's assassination the gov
ernment offices and the stores OF the mer-
chants were at once closed, flags were
craped and half masted, meeting of
coincidence, attended by the most eminent
citizens, was held, and sympathy with the
American people was manifested in vari-
ETY. of ways.

Cotton in south Cnrolfnn.

New YORK, July S.-One of the Herald's
correspondents, who has recently been trav-
cling extensively through South Carolina,
is satisfied that the amount OF cotton still
remaining in the interior of that State is
very large, exceeding any estimate which
has yet been published, There is much dit
ficulty in getting it to the seaboard, owing,
In considerable degree, to the slow pro-
gress which is being made by the Railroad
Companies in repairing their lines. These
roads were most etfectually destroyed by
Gen. Sherman, and the iron to relay the
tracks has yet to be bought, and the money
to buy it with will have to be borrowed at
the North. So greatly has the collapse of
the rebel currency shattered the faith of
the South Carolina planters in paper money
of all kinds that they generally prefer ten
cents pound in gold for their cotton to tlf-
teen cents in greenbacks. ,,-

Ex-senator Foote'S Statement i'm
Regard to the Treatment of
Prisoners.

New YORK, July 8.-Henry S. Foote, late
rebel Congressman, now in Montreal, pub
fishes card in the Herald concerning the
barbarity in the treatment of Union pris-
oners, in which he says: '...
Touching the Congressional report refer
red to, have to say: A month or two ante
rior to the date of said report, 1 learned
from Government officer that prisoners of
war, then confined in and about Richmond,
were suffering severely for want of provi-
sions. He told me, further, that it was
manifest to him that a systematic scheme
was on foot for subjecting these unfortunate
men to starvation; that the Commits
sary, Northup, most wicked and
heartless wretch, had addressed
enthusiastically celebrated, and the fire took
communication to Mr.. Seddon, the
Secretary of War, proposing to withhold
meat altogether from military prisoners
then in custody, and to give them nothing
but bread and vegetables, and that Mr.. Sed-
don had indorsed the document containing
this recommendation affirmatively. He then
moved for committee of investigation, in
the rebel House of Representatives; but
this was at first refused, and he was acrimo-
niously censured by several members for
introducing the subject into the House at
all. He persevered, however, obtained the
committee, and succeeded in finding the
document above referred to, signed by
Northup and indorsed by Seldom, the lat
ter adding that the time had come for retail
iation upon the prisoners OF war of the en-
emies.

Oneof the deputation-It so happens that

The President-Frequently those who
went In last were among the worst after
they got in. But be that as it may, under

sonally. am just speaking of the general
workingsof the matter. i know there has
been an effort among some to persuade the
people that the amnesty Proclamati0nlwas
iDjuring them by shutting up capital and
keeping work from the poor. 1t does no
such thing. If that is done at all it is done
in consequence of the violation of law and
the commission of treason.

A Delegation OF. Virginiaus Wait
Upon the President = RemOn-
STRANGE Against the $4,000

WASHINGTON, July 9.-President John
son was waited on yesterday by Messrs.
Jos. A. Jones, r. A. Lancaster, VIM. H.
Hoxall and j. L. Apperson, representatives
of merchants and Others of Virginia, who
wished him to amend the amnesty proc
lamation by striking out the 18th eXcep-
tion, the $20,000 clause. They represented
that this feature interfered with the devel-
opment of industry, by binding up capital,
and in this way so oppressed the poor that
when they endeavored to borrow money in
the Northern or Middle States they are at
once met by the objection that perhaps
they had over $4,000, and if they had, the
accommodation could not be extended; so
they were unable to give work to the poor
men who called upon them, &c. The Pres
ident reminded them that the amnesty
proclamation did not cause this distrust.-
1t was the commission of treason and the
violation of law that did 1t. The amnesty
proclamation left these men just where
they were before. 1t did not add any dis
ability to them. If they had committed
treason they were amenable to the contis-
cation law which Congress had passed, and
which he, as President, could not alter or
amend. In the amnesty proclamation he
had offered pardon to some persons, but
that did not injure any other person.
Would they like to have the amnesty proc
lamatien removed altogether? Would they
feel any easier in that casep tH
( One of the deputation-No, but 1t would
assist us very much if you would extend
the benefits of the proclamation to persons
worth over $4,000. The President re-
piled, that in making the exception he had
acted on the natural supposition that men
had aided the rebellion according to the
extent of their pecuniary means. Did they
not know this?
One of the deputation-No, I did not
know it.
j The President-Why, yes you do know
perfectly well 1t was the wealthy men of
the South who dragged the people into Sc
cession. lived in the South, and know
how the thing was done. Your State was
overwhelmingly opposed to secession,
but your rich men. used the press and
bullies and your little army to force
the State into secession. Take the $4,000
clause. Suppose man is worth more than
that now the war is over, and the chances
are ten to one that he made 1t out of the
rebellion by contracts, etc. We might as
we'll talk plainly about this matter. don't
think you are so very anxious about reliev-
ing the poor. If you are very eager to help
the poor why don't you take the surplus
over the $4,000 you own and give 1t to
them? In that way you will help them and
bring yourselves within the benefits OF the
proclamation. am free to say to you that
| think some of you ought to be taxed on
all over $4,000 to help the poor. When

morning to witness the launch of the new
screw corvette Madawska, built at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard by Mr.. B. F. Delano,
naval constructor. She is one of the new
first class speedy vessels ordered in 1863,
and from the appearance of her lines it
seems as if she will make the promised
speed of 10 knots per hour. The launch
was complete success and was presided
over by Admiral Bell, assisted by Lieut..
Commander Jouett. The ceremony of

CIRCLEvILLE, Feb. 10th, 1866.

The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively, greater heating surface; produces
a larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air. as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to apleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects Of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx Of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
flues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
tion of large number of furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public editices, not only in Western,
but also in Eastern cities. Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.
