WASHINGTON, July %.
The country will be gratifed to hear that
Capt. Henry Wright, lately prison keeper at
Andersonville, is shortly to be put on trial for
cruelty and barbarity practised upon prison
ers confined at that place. The military COM
mission setting in this city, of which Brig.
Gen. A. B. DurWood is President and Col n.
I'll. Chapman Of the War Department is Judge
Advocate, has been directed to try the case.
The charges embrace list of atrocities that
are little short of fendish, and win arouse in
dignation The Government is engaged in
collecting testimony preparatory to the trial
Let soldiers, who have survived their hnprison-
ment at this prison, put Col. Chapman in pos
session of any essential facts which they may
know.
The President has directed the release on
parole, with permission to return to Georgia,
of the rebel Gen. Philip Coffee, prisoner of
war, including the rebel Gen. Orr to be re-
leased upon their taking the oath of al
legiance. fs4
Col. Labader has been appointed to the
rank of Brigadier General, as his commission
receipts meritorious services as Provost Mar
shal during the war, and especially 1or dill
gence in the suppression of frauds against the
government in recruiting, and in pursuing the
murderer of the President, J. Wilkes Booth, and
his accoInplices. The commission is to date
from April 26lh, 1865, the day of Booths
capture and death.
A friend of Governor Perry, and apparently
by his authority, has caused the publication Of
a communication, in which he says that three
days before the meeting at Greenyille, S. c.,
Gov. Perry was appointed Provisional Cover
nor, and that the latter at that time was not
informed of his appointment, but had not the
remotest idea that such honor was to be con-
feared upon him. The purpose of Coy. Perry
in his address, the writer says, was to show
the people Of South Carolina the great mis-
take they had made in seeding, and the
ruinous consequences to their beloved State,
and annihiation and depreciation to which
they had reduced her, boldly declaring that
they had no cause for seeding. and were in
no danger from the election of Mr.. Lincoln
The writer says it is not true, as stated in some
of the newspapers that the Governor feels
personally any humiliation in coming back in
to the Union, but that he has feelings for his
State.
Gov. Perry entreats the Southern people in
terms of earnestness to become loyal citizens
and repudiate forever, and teach their child
rem to repudiate the political process which
has ruined their country. 1865
During the month $4,000 horses and 1900
mules will be exposed to public sale in the
States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Del
aware, New Jersey, Indiana and the District
of Columbia. This will close such sales by
the Government. Since the LIST of May the
sales of animals have netted two millions of
| dollars

From California = The Pirate Shenandoah
Operating the Pacific.


SAN FRANCISCO, July IS.
The steamship Golden City, for Panama,
sailed with 600 passengers and $4,000 in
treasure for New York, and $4,000 for Eng
land.
The Pacific Warehouse on cor. Ter of Broad
way and Battery streets, was burned from the
spontaneous combustion of petroleum last
night. Loss estimated at $250O00
A Swedish barque sailed yesterday for Hong
Kong with $450,O00 in treasure.
Sandwich Islands dates of the June 2Sth are
received.
A Hawayian schooner arrived at Honolulu
on the 22d of June, from Niocomsian Islands
She reported that on March Both, about lat. 4
N. Ion. 1877 Wa vessel bore across the schoon-
er's bow. She was a barque rugged propeller.
She showed English colors. Her boat boarded
the schooner with two officers and a large
crew armed with cutlasses and revolyers. The
commanding officer demanded the schooner's
papers in an arrogant manner, closely inspect
ed them, pronounced them correct and then
became more polite. Being told that the
schooner was last from Ascension on Strongs's
Islands, he asked if any whalers were there.
and mentioned several American Whalers sup
posed to be cruising in those waters. He said
his ship was the English ship Miami, but that
he had not been in port lately. After leaving
the schooner he sailed in the direction Of
Strongs Island, four hundred miles Distant
The captain of the schooner saws the boarding
officers were Americans.
There is but little doubt this shin was the
Shenandoah. She was then on the track of the
whale ships returning from Southern seas
bound north to the Arctic, and of sperm whale
cruisers, and should she proceed thence to the
Arctic she would make terrible havoc among
the sixty or seventy whalers there.

at Savannah is published. He decides that all
cotton taken by the military forces in the in

diction cannotbe conferred on commission
appointed by the President or Secretary to ex-
anime the claims in question and to make re-
paration OF the proceeds of so much of this
cotton as may belong to the loyal claimants.

PERsONAL.-lt is not unknown to our read
ers that our city has been visited recently by
some distinguished strangers from the old
world. The Marquis and Marchioness of
Drogheds, accompanied by Mr.. Yorke, Lieu
tenant in the Duke of Cambridge's regiment of
artillery, arrived in town by the st. John
steamer on Friday morning, and took lodgings
at Misses Jones, conner Of Congress and Park
streets, and left Saturday noon for the White
Mountains. The Marquis and Warehouses
will travel extensively in the United States
and Canada, and return to ENGLAND about the
middle of October. They expressed themselves
we understand greatly delighted with Port
land, its haI'bor, scenery and people. And we
known that our citizens who had the pleasure
of meeting them, were most agreeably impress
sed with their plain and simple ways, their
easy and accomplished manners, and rare in
telligence; and the fact that they had, all
through our intestine troubles, been decided
and earnest friends of the Union cause added
to the enjoyment received from their visit.
The Estates Of the Marquis, as his title i'm
plies, are mainly in Ireland, but he is a peer OF
the United Kingdom, and is a member of the
House Of Lords. The lIarchioness is daugh-
ter OF Lord WhaIncliiie, of the family name Of
Stuart-W Worldly, and direct descendant Of
Lady Mary Worldly Montagu.
Mr.. Ycrle is a son of Lord Hardwicke, and
of the family Of the illustrious Chancellor of an
earlier time.
On Friday afternoon the distinguished
strangers took lock at the city and environs
ana Saturday, they went down the BAY on ar
excursion among the islands, on the ''Malion-
ing" accompanied by small party of ladies
and gentlemen, among whom were Chief Jus
tice Appleton and the other Judges Of the
Supreme Court now in this city.

NEW YORK, July %.
The Selma, Ala, correspondent Of the Her
aid states that considerable quantities Of cot
ton are waiting transportation to the seaboaTd.
Many planters are offering their plantations
at very lew figures, being dissatisfied with the
free labor system, while others wish northern
emigration.
A regular system of thieving in cotton is
carried on, by which the government is de-
frauded heavily. The frauds are being perpe-
trated in many cases with the knowledge Of
the military authorities.
