Especial Dispatches to Western Associated Press.l
PETITION TO SECRETARY SEWARD.
New YORK, November 5.-The Herald
says: A petition to Secretary Seward is cir
culating in Boston and has already received
the signatures of some of the largest ship
owners of that city, praying him not to
press our claims on the British Government
for the depredatiOns of the anglO-rebel
pirates. The petition states that when
England becomes involved in war, which
cannot be far distant, the position which
her government has taken in regard to fit
ting out of rebel pirates, if allowed TO stand
as precedent, will give us such advantage
as we can, by furnishing privateers for her
adversary, infiict on her commerce damage
hundred times greater than she has al
lowed to be inflicted on ours.
- GERMANS, swBDEs AND DANES.
Large numbers of Germans, Swedes and
Danes are pouring into 0nguina, but the
supply is not equal to the demand. The
price fixed for their services as farm hands
or laborers is $3.50 per year with food and
lodging, for men between twenty and fifty
years old, and for women 500.
MADE HIS APPEARANCE.
The Herald's Richmond correspondent
says General Cooper, Adjutant General of
the late rebel armies, and who was the
senior Major General in that service, and
who has not been heard from since the
downfall of the rebel government, has made
his appearance and applied for pardon.
Since the evacuation of Richmond he has
been leading a quiet life at his old home
stead.
CHOLERA.
D. cave hot
the cholera epidemic has reached, perhaps,
200 attacks day with something like half
that number of deaths. This is not at all
alarming, as the season is too far advanced
to admit of much increase in the mortality.
GEN. BEAUREGARD.
The Times Bendon letter says it was re-
Gently reported that General Beauregard had
rendered his services to the Pope as COM
mander of the papal army now being aug
mented preparatory to its departure from
France. A Paris paper contradicts this re-
port asserting that General B. was Protes-
tant and never thought of volunteering to
defend Papacy.
| GEN. MCCLELLAN.
1t is now rumored that General Mcclellan
has had several interviews with Cardinal
| Antonelli and that he has offered himself as
Papal commander. The rumOr respecting
| the offer of Mcclellan is more circumstan-
tial than such stories usually are, but stillit
wants confirmation.
FIRST BATCH.
A Washington special says that the first
batch of gold certificates of the one thousand
dollar denomination went forward to the
New York sub Treasury to-day. The twen-
ty dollar notes are in the press. On their
elaborately engraved backs is fac simile OF
a double eagle. Part of this issue of gold
notes will be printed on buff colored paper.
In one respect they will be like the Bank Of
England notes. When once they come back
to the Treasury they will not be re-issued,
but new notes will be furnished instead.
RELEASED.
New YoRk, November 5.-General Ortega,
who was arrested on complaint of Colonel
Allen, q so-called emigrant agent for the
Mexican Republic, has been released from
custody.
