UNITED STATES CONSULATE |
BERLIN, PRUSSIA, November Z, 1866 !
MEssRs. CHIoKERING C Sons, BosToN MASS;
GENTLEMEN: -Iproft of the opportunity afforded
by the return to Boston of my friend, Hugo Leon
hard Esq, the eminent pianist Of your city, to do
what ought to have been done ere this, to aoquant
you OF the safe arrival Of the magnificent "Chcker-
ring" Grand Piano which Mr.. LeonhaId had been
GOOD enough to select for me.
Thanks to your and foresight, 1T came in per
feet order, Notwithstanding the frequent handing
TO which 1t had been necessarily subjected on its
long passage from Boston to Berlin. The instru.
meDt In regard to its elegant tasteful exterior
well It's beautiful tone and perfect action Is every
thing that could have desired.
All those who have seen, heard, examined, and
played upon it-among them the very best judges in
Berlin, piano players as well as piano makers
cannot sufficiently admire it, ana pronounce supe-
Iior to any Grand Pianos made here or elsewhere in
Germany, not excepting the widely aud justly cele.
bIated "Bechstein" instruments, OF this city. The
quality of the tone of your splendid instrument is
found to be 80 refined and pure, it sings" so beau
(ifulIy, as the Germans express Ii, the quantity
it's tone is so full round, and ample; the gradation
of strength from the lower to the upper registers
complete and even, and its action and mechanism
so perfect that all concur in the opinion that its
equal in excellence and perfection has not before
been seen in Berlin.
So numerous have been the encomiums passed
upon it, in many instances from local PRIDE given
only because their of justice and love OF truth
compelled the eminent gentlemen to give them-and
for that all the more valuabe-that, assure
you, gentlemen, esteem it a privi ege, and ieel
proud to be in possession of this splendid specimen
Of American art, ingenuity, and skill.
With my compliments and best wishes for your

IHE FOREIGN WAR.-A foreign cor
respondent of the New York Times
asks: ''What has now happened in
Germany?' and in answering the
question says that, in few weeks,
the German Confederation has been
destroyed by war which was hsgun
by Prussia as war of secession, by
the Federal authorities as q war of
)coereion-but which soon degene-
rated into war of conquest on the
Prussian side, and war of weak and
I hopeless defence on the side of the
supporters of the Federal cause, in
whose ranks want of resolution ana
! capacity, together with certain seces-
slonlst schemes of their own, made
energetic action impossible. The re-
suit has been tho reverse of what has
happened IN the United States. The
secesslonist power is debating the
peace on its own conditions, pro-
claiming the right of conquest over
the greater number of the members
of the former Confederation, eiecting
Austria from the national community.
The writer adds that Prussia, be-
ginning with acting the part of the
Southern States Of the American
Union, now ends with performing
that Of the Northcrnersin urging the
right of conquest against those whose
resistance has proved insufficient, but
who still have been, andmust remain,
members of the same nation with the
conqueror.
Prussia has been successful in
making, the United States have been
successful in suppressiug, a revolu-
ton within n nation constituted under
Federal laws. In this lies all the
similarity and all the difference of the
two cases.

MATTERS IN MoHMoNDoM.
Great Salt Lake City correspondent
of the New York Times says: The
County and Territorial elections came
off on the 9th ult., and resulted in
the election of the candidates on the
peoples ticket" Mormon. An op-
position ticket (Gentile) was expected,
and, rs consequence, there was con-
siderable machinery set at work to
defeat it. This example is sufficient
to show that the Gentle clement
grows in Utah, and that the Mormons
see the necessity Of their striving to
letain the political supremacy which
they have ever held in this Territory.
But the expected Gentle ticket did
not appear, and the followers of the
Mormon idea won an easy victory.
Theatricals are not very brisk in
Utah, there being no other than local
talent performing there. AIelodra-
mas, comedies, farces and petite dra-
mas are the staple offered Julia Dean
Hayne has gone to Montana, and
from there she will come East, after
an absence of several wears.

To BE REMOVED. gentleman
from the North reports that Gen.
Foster, the commandant, is to be
removed from Florida, and all the
negro troops with him. The white
troops that were attacked by cholera
off Savannah, and have been quaran-
tined on Tybee Island for some time,
are to replace them. We are told
that Gen. Foster has been guilty of
many acts of oppression, and his
removal Will be hailed with JOY by

CAPITAL FOR THE RADICALS
radical papers eagerly catch up every
expression of dissatisfaction uttered
by the Southern press with reference
to the action of the Philadelphia
Convention, and use it against the
Northern conservatives. The Gin
cinnati Gazette quotes extracts from
some of the Richmond papers, and
makes the following comment upon
them:
"Doolittle s. Co. cannot muzzle
the Southern people as they muzzled
the Southern delegates. The former
are speaking right out and telling the
truth. We respect them for this,
just rs We respect All honest opinion,
though we may believe it to be er-
roneous. No one expects, and no
honest man pretends to expect, the
Southern rebels to change, under
defeat, principles for which they
fought five years. For this reason we
are opposed to transferring the Gov
ernment to their hands, or permitting
them to participate in its manage
ment, without such security rs will
prevent them from getting up another
rebellion

Cotton Estimates.

We have published several esti-
mates of the cotton crop made on this
side of the water, some of them by
interested parties. We have now a
foreign opinion, and one that is en-
titled to some confidence. tits made
to the British Government by DIR.
Forbes, the Cotton Commissioner OF
India, who has lately made tour
through the Southern States, for the
express purpose of estimating the
probable supply. The Carolinas, he
thinks, will produce over 100000
bales; Georgia, 10000; Alabama,
200, 900; Louisiana, Mississippi, Flo
rida and Arkansas, $4,000. He did
not visit Texas, and makes no esti
mate for that State, but puts do wn
the entire production of the South at
1000, 900 bales.
The mission Of this gentleman was
for the purpose Of enabling the In
dian Government and people to ar
rive at q judgment on the question,
and we think his estimates nearer
the correct figures than any We have
yes seen published.

The radicals are fearfnlly worried
by Mr. Henry J. Raymond !. He tells
them that. Z
sThere is an absolute identity of
sentiment and principle between the
Baltimore platform of the Union
party in 1864, and. that adopted at
Philadelphia last week"
The radicals of course swear vigor-
ously that the two platforms are
widely different, or at least that they
were meant to be. To which Mr..
Raymond coolly responds, Gentle
men, ! ought to know what they
mean, for / am the author of both of

DEATH FROM EATING BOLOGNA
SAusAGE.-On last "Wednesday morn
ing, Mr.. Dumond, citizen of Dover
Hill, Martin County, in this State,
bought some bologna sausage, and
took it to his house, Of which his
wife and q child and himself ate
rather freely. In very short time
his wife and child were taken very
sick. The wife vomited freely and
soon recovered. The child was dead
IN about two hours after eating. Mr..
-. himself eat some more in the af-
ternoon, and was taken just as the
woman and child had been. Drs.
Bever and Elrod were called to his
assistance, and, by the aid of their
united skill, together with vigorous
constitution, he recovered. The next
morning small piece Of the same
sausage was given to cat, which
proved fatal in less than thirty mi
nutes. Jincennes Ind J San, 2Sth.

An ATTRACTING STYLE.-AIrs. Har-
met Beecher Stowe has recently deli
vered the following oracle, to which
all pious Puritans will at once most
devoutly subscribe: eff the different
churches of n city would erect build
ing where there should be billiard
table, one or two ninepin alleys, a
reading-room, garden and grounds
for ball-playing or innocent lounging,
they would do more to keep the
young people from the ways of sin
than Sunday School"

Arkansas, says that, last week, Tour
Union men accepted a challenge
from four late rebels to fight duel

effect, three being killed outright,

Thomas II. Watts, formerly Go
vernon of Alabama, and more recent
ly Acknowledgement of the Confede-
racy, wrote O. letter in reference to the
Philadelphia Convention, in which
he said: Eve wish to show the true
men of the North that the most ram
pant secessionists among us are now
willing to support the Constitution Of
the United States, and the Union
Hereunder, recognizing the two great
facts which the war has accomplished,
viz: the destruction Of slavery and
the denial of the right (perhaps
should say power) of State to Sc
cede. If the North cannot admit us
to all equal participation in all the
benefits Of the Union on such terms,
we shall then do the best we can"

FoREaN OPnaoNs.-The London
Moy,,ing Post says: -

FOREIGN OPINIONS. London
Morntng Posssays: =
eft is fortunate, under such cir
cnmstances, that the republic has Tor
its Chief Magistrate such q man as
Andrew johnson. The honesty with
which he has endeavored to reconcile
the differences of the antagonistic
States, and the sound craftsmanship
he has shown in his efforts to recon
struct the Union on the only possible
sound basis. namely, the equal re-
ccgnition of the rights of all its citi-
zens-have secured for him the re-
spect OF every true friend Of that
great republic. Against the narrow
minded prejudices of those whom, in
the first flush of victory, the Repub-
lcan party sent to Congress, he cen
do little more than protest. That
protest may or may not be availine.
but such as it is, he deems it his duty
to make it-not doubling, however,
that the moral support accorded to
him by the bulk of his fellow-citizens
will give to it an efficacy which no
hostile majorities in Congress can
entlrely deStroy.r
The London Telegraph says:
"The struggle between the two
great sections into which the North is
still divided has indeed assumed a
character far more bitter and enve-
nomed than we were prepared to wit
ness; and even when we have made
every allowance for the extravagant
language that is characteristic OF our
American cousins, enough remain to
Justify the gravest forebodings. All
the sagacious statesmanship of An
drew johnson will be needed to guide
his country safely through the peri.
lous straits in which the ship of State
is again threatened with destruction;
but we are confident that his powers,
already so severely tested, will once
more prove equal to the emergency.

Is one OF the best, if not the very best, OF

Gen. Spinner, United States Trea-
surcr, has decided that the only pro-
lection to the owner against the pay
ment of bond or 7-30 note that may
have been stolen, is by entering a
caredt at the Office of the Secretary of
the Treasury. Coupons are as nego-
table at all times as bank note, and
will be paid in the hands of third

the case where it is known that they
have been stolen.
