RIDING THREE HoRsEs.-Mr. BEECHEB
is known to be found of fast horses and of all
breeds How he can ride three in as many
weeks, is thus mildly shown up by one of his
friends-the Boston Advertiser:
"When Mr.. BEEcHER's Cleveland letter
appeared, it was understood by its general
tenor that the writer opposed Congress and
desired to be enrolled among the friends Of
the President Then came the letter to
Plymouth Church, and here Mr.. BEEcHER
expressly declared that he occupied a posi-
ton midway between the President and
Congress, that he would not become parti-
san, and that he would adhere to his opin-
ions. On Monday evening Mr.. BEECHER
delivered an elaborate address at the Brook.
Ign Academy of Music before large as
sembly of his fellow-citizens, and here he
advocated the principles Of the Republican
party so plainly and emphatically that he
received the hearty endorsement of even the
editor of the Independent who spoke after

THE CALIFORNIA CIIMATE.-Mr. Ed
WIN FORREST, the actor, writes from Cali.
fornia, September Is, to a friend in New
York:
"Here am still enjoying the salubrioua
air of the mountains, on horseback and afoot
and bathing in waters from the hot and cold
springs which pour their afiiuent streams on
every hand.
My health is greatly improved, and my
lameness is now scarcely perceptible. In a
few weeks more shall return to San Fran
cisco to finish my engagement which was in
terruped by my late indisposition. My pre-
sent intention is not to return to the East
until next spring, for it would be too great q
risk to encounter the rigorsofa winter there,
which might prove disastrous to the resto-
ration Of perfect health. You are a ware
that the winter in San Francisco is much
more mild and agreeable than the summer,
and after my professional engagement there
/ shall visit Sacramento and some few other
towns, and then go to Los Angeles, where !
shall enjoy a climate quite equal to that oil
the tropics. am determined to come back
to you in perfect health. How / should
like to take a tramp with you into the noun
tains this blessed day. l can give you nc
reasonable idea of the beauty of the weather
here. The skies are cloudless, save with the
rare and rosiest shadows, not drop of rain,
and yet no drought no aridity; the trees are
fresh and green, and the air as exhilarating
as champagne"

A MICRO Boy WITH AN INTERESTING
HIsToRY.-The Boston Christian RegiSts7
saws a little boy was baptized on Sunday
afternoon, at the church in Indiana Place,
Boston, whose history was interesting. After
JEFFERSON DAVIS was taken prisoner Mrs.
DAVIS sent this little eolOred boy, almost
white, however, about seven years old, to
General SAxroN, with letter, in which she
told him this story. She said that in 1861,
passing house in Richmond, she heard a
child scream, and going in found this child,
whose mother was 4 free colored woman,
wholeft him at her death in care Of others
who ill-treated him. Mrs. DAVIS said she
took the child home, and they all became
very fond of him. He shared their fortunes
and misfortunes, and when obliged to hy
from Richmond, they took him with them.
She requested General SAxToN to treat him
well, which it is not necessary TO say he did.
But when General SAxToN was removed
from the department he gave the child to
the care Of one Of the teachers Of the Educa-
tionaI Commission, who has brought him
North.

HON BALE PEYTON.

The Gallatin Examiner announces that
BALE PEYToN is a candidate for the
Senatorial vacancy in the district composed
of the counties of Sumner and Smith. This
district was represented in the original con-
stitrtion Of the present Legislature by DR.
JYo. w. Bowen. Upon his resignation
. Col. A. E. GARRETT was elected, but refused
his seat, and the place declared vacant, and
the election now pending duly ordered.
That Col. PEYroN will be elected there
can be no doubt. When he presents HIM
self for admission TO his seat we trust there
will be no cavilling. There Is no ground tc
urge aught against him. 1t should be
matter of qualification to the whole State
that men like Col. PEYToN consent to serve
them. He is a veteran servant IN public
capacities-tried in council and in the field
and never found wanting in either. de IS
and has ever been, a genuine Conservative
In his clear and sound judgment, and soul
that knows nothing but honor and upright
ness, the whole people can conhde. We re-
iterate the hope that partizanship will feel
itself abashed in the presence OF BALlI
PEYroN's credentials, and offer no objection
to his admission.

ANOTHER FEARFUL PROGRAMME
OF RADICALESM.

The advent of the incendiary editor Of
the Chronicle to this city, after his protracted
canvass for the Senatorship in Pennsy lyania,
is marked by new and most atrociGos demon
STATIONS. In case the Governor of Mary
land shall exercise his undoubted preroga-
tive to remove the tyrannical Police Com
missioners of Baltimore, through whom only
about a fifth, or a fourth perhaps, Of the
citizens intend to perpetuate an intolerable
aristocratic rule, then the ferocious editor of
the Chronicle predicts that a Radical mob
will invade Maryland from the North, and
overturn the lawful and loyal authority in
that State. This proposition of reckless
demagogue to again bring on the horrors of
civil war upon the nation is in consistence
with several of his recent speeches, which
certainly border upon extreme desperation.
They will be the subject of comment by us
tomorrow National LateLIigencer.

ruEDAvIDsoN COUNTY RADICALS.

The Chairman Of the Radical meeting
which nominated Capt. Wilson as candi-
date for the Legislature on Saturday, is re-
ported in the Radical organ to have said

lists. 10 the hosts that sustain our efforts ana

Thisis something new under the sun, and
never contemplated under the theory of this
government. The election of members OF
State LEGISLATURES is one Of the rights ex-
pressly preserved under the Constitution to
the people of the several States. The choice
of members IS, by the Constitution OF the
several States, referred to theeleciors IN sena-
torial and representative districts. The
naming Of a candidate for such position
has never been regarded as requiring the
ratification Of any other than the people d.
rec.lv interested. The gentleman who made
this announcement is, perhaps, scarcely
aware Of the purport and consequences Of
the doctrine he breaches. Adopted as pre-
eeaen,. il would exiinguish one of the most
conservative features in the system of gov
er,ment unner which we live. II would
proclaim the power Of national numerical
m,;orities 70 dictate the internal administra-
ton Of State governments.
This. however, is the Radical theory and
,,nrnose. Mr.. DIcKEY and his Radical CO.

The Great Hurricane.
TfiE REsULTs ar THE BAHAMAS
HALF OF NASSAU IN RUINS,


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-Lieutenant Com.
mander, WM. GIBSON, commanding the
United States steamer Latona, reports to the
Navy Department, under date of Nassau
New Providence, on the 9th instant, the fol.
lowing:
On the Sd and 4th iTlsts., when on line
between Cape Hatteras and the Bermudas
we encountered a revolving storm of hurri.
cane violence. We are not in distress, but
the damages sustained are serious. As care
fully computed from our observations, the
cyclone was moving northeast at the rate
Of thirteen miles an hour. Its center, when
nearest to Us, was lat 80 deg. north, long.
~ deg. 40 min. 20 sec. west. 1t bore south
southeast, forty miles distant Its whole
diameter was two hundred and sixty miles.
1t came upon US suddenly and with little
premonition, the barometer registering
rather than foretelling the changes Of the
wind and weather.
The sea rose 50 rapidly and grew 50 dan
gerously heavy and confused that, being sat
isfied that we were in the left-handed semi
circle of the storm, l deemed it safe to abide
. the issue by heaving the Latoaa to on the
port tack. The centre of the hurricane
passed over the island of New Providence
on the first instant, and the scene of wreck
and devastation is marvellous and very sad
to see. More than half of Nassau is in ru-
ms. Most of the houses are unroofed, many
blown to pieces, and some moved bodily from
their foundations into the street. Churches,
houses, and other buildings of solid stone,
are skatteredas if by bombardment. The
trees were destroyed, leaf and branch, as if
by confagration. Nearly every vessel and
boat is sunk or swept high and dry, on the
outer islands. The destruction of property
and the consequent suffering is said to be
dreadful. The important light at the Hole
in-the-Wall is not burning. The harbor
light is only a temporary lantern. The
lights on the Stirrup Key, on the Isaac and
on the Gun Key, are reported to be unin-
jured, though the tower of the first named is
crooked. Judging from the dismantled and
otherwise distressed vessels that we have
seen, both at sea and in this port, the chap
ter of casualties from this hurricane will
not be brief one. A more complete report,
with all the dates and diagrams, relating to
this hurricane; the meteorological log of Her
Brittanic Majesty's steamer, Ninlble, blown
ashore in this harbor, and other interesting
information, will send by the first opportu
nifty, to The Bureau of Navigation.

The Prussian Cabinet had addressed rep

CONFEDERATE MONEY, AND CON-
TRACTS MADE IN REFERENCE TO
IT.

From the Richmond, Va. Times.l
In nearly all the courts of the Common
wealth questions in all the blendid colors of
the rainbow are coming up about Confede-
rate money and contracts made in COnfede-
rate times. 1t was thought the act of the
Legislature, scaling Confederate money to
its value in specie at the time of the con-
tract would meet almost every case and adj
Just every difficulty. But it does not seem
to have had the effect contemplated. New
questions, not embraced in or covered by
the provisions of the law, have arisen, which
have neither been settled as yet by legisla-
ton or judicial investigation and decision.
A most knotty and embarrassing enquiry
among a large Gloss Of people is being made
as TO the responsibility of fduciaries for in
vestments made by them in Confederate and
other securities during the war; which are
now worthless. Ia some cases these in
vestments were made under the direction of
the courts; in others, upon individual judg-
ment and responsibility, sanctioned by legis-
lative authority. But as the acts of the Lee
gisature during the war may not be consid-
cred legal or valid, it viii be argued by those
whose interests dictate such an argument,
that they furnish no exoneration to the fidu-
ciary from liability. No adjudication that
we are aware Of has yet been rendered on
these novel questions, though looked for
with great anxiety.
