HARRISBURG, Pa, June 1.-THE Petro.
leum Bank at Titusville, and the venango
Bank at Franklin, have instituted an action
against ex-Auditor- General Isaac Henker,
and through him against the State of Penn
sylvania, for the recovery Of sl,l25,00O
United States securities deposited by the
Auditor General as security for the circu.
lating medium of those banks. Z
The facts as stated are these: The firm
of Culver, Penn & Go. were In the habit OF
taking the notes of the Venango and Pc
troleum banks for cancellation at the Au-
ditor- Generals Office, where they received
like amount of bonds for that which
they presented in notes.
1t is alleged that the parties thus re-
ceiving these bonds were neither agents
nor officers of the banks, and that the
bonds, instead of being sent to the officers
of said banks, were taken to New York
and hypothecated by Culver, Penn &
Co. 1t is further alleged that this
was done without the authority Of the
banks, and that it was embezzlement, for
which the Auditor General is responsible.
Warrants have been issued, and officers
are now in Yenango to arrest the par
ties implicated in the transaction. The
condition of these banks is now in course
of official investigation.

CLERICAL VISIT TO Ex-PREsIDENT b.
cHANAN.-Ahout dozen of the clergy
men in attendance upon the Lutheran Sy-
nod in session at Lancaster paid their
respects to ex-Presdent Buchanan at
Wheatland on Thursday, and were most
cordially received by that gentleman. A
neat speech of introduction was made by
Rev. c. F. Schaefier, d. D., of Phladel-
phia, who in the course of his remarks
said that though many Of the present
generation were denouncing the ex-Presi-
dent in unmeasured terms, he had no
doubt that posterity would do ample JUS
tice to his fame and the patriotic motives
which governed his administration. The
ex-President replied in brief but feeling
and eloquent manner TO DR.. Schaeffer's
remarks, and the remainder Of the visit
was devoted to social conversation. The
reverend gentlemen left highly pleased
with the courteous manners and dignitied
bearing of the venerable eX-PreSdent.-

THE MOBILE SCHooLMARN WHO MARRIED

THE MOBILE SCHooLMARM WHO MARRIED
NEGRo.-A great excitement was created
among the adherents of the negro bureau
in Mobile few days ago by the marriage
in that city of former slave of General
Beauregard's to white woman by the
name Of Jones, and teacher of the freed
men. The couple have left for the home
of the woman's parents in the north, where
there will doubtless be great jubilee over
this manifestation of civil rights when the
pair arrive. As the unfortunate females
parents were doubtless abolitionists, and
are now in the Radical faith, they cannot
but be rejoiced at the progress that has
been made by their docile offspring. But,
seriously, this case presents the light of a
public affront, and comes under the laws
of Alabama that declare miscegenation q
penitentiary offence. Neao York Nens,

AnotAer rreskyterfnn Minist$r se.
ceaes from tho Northern &c s
Assembly.
A meeting of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church, at Franklin Square, TOOK pis,e
last night at the request OF the paste !,
Rev. DR.. J. A. Lefevre. The congregati9i
was large, and DIR. Lefevre spoke OF the
action of the General Assembly OF the
| Church from 1s46 up to the late session.
In Is45. he said, the Assembly passed
resolutions declaring that those who taught
abolitionism taught doctrine opposed TO
the Bible, and up to 1861 that sentiment
prevailed. AT the last named date the
body took up political subjects. A protest
was then made by about one-fourth OF the
Assembly, and among the signers OF that
protest were Rev. Drs. John Z. Backus
and Cyrus Dickson, of this city. he
read the protest to the congregation. In
1862 and 1863 that action was aihrmea'
and slavery was made test OF member,
ship. But the browning act was that OF
the late session, which requires every
pastor to examine persons from the Sc
cedcd States applying for membership,
and if such shall not declare their love Tor
the Government of the United States, they
must be excluded from the communion OF
the Church. That action was unconstls
tutional and opposed to the spirit Of the
Old School Presbyterian Church, ana ne
would rather obey God than man. For ten
years he had endeavored to teach ms
people the doctrine of the Bible, and now
he could teach no other. He had been
tempted TO leave them by the offer of a
pleasant and profitable charge, but if they
accorded with him, he would love to remain
with them. lie should, however, shortly
dissolve his connection with the General
Assembly, and hoped on Wednesday night
next to hear the decision of the congre-
CATION. There seemed to be but one feel
ing among those present, and that was in
accord with those of the pastor. On
Wednesday night next there will be an,
other meeting, when the Church will de,
eide whether to hold to the General
Assembly or 60 with DR.. Lefeyre.

OngressiOnal-Thad. stevens ON the
ampage- MAMMALIAN must be
Voted Ont or the Monroe Doctrine
Abandoned-Our Government being
Flush. wants TO Lend the Liberals
Good Deal.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The Senate was
not in session to-day. In the House, MIR.
Stevens gave notice of his intention to offer
the following resolution:
ReSolred, That the Committee on Foreign
Affairs be instructed to inquire into the
propriety of loaning to the Republic of
Mexico, on proper security, twenty mil
lions of dollars, to enable said Republic to
prevent the overthrow of its government
and the establishment of a monarchical
government on the continent of North
America.
He addressed the House in favor of the
proposition. Mr.. Stevens said:
The time has arrived when we should
determine whether the Monroe doctrine
was practical idea or mere bravado.
Three years ago the measure now proposed
might have been cause for war with France.
Then to have loaned money to either bel
ligerent would have been breach of neu-
trality. So, now to loan money to the Re-
public may be justly considered cause
for war by Macmillan, for though he
be a usurper, he is belligerent. But
France can have no cause OF COM
plaint, according to the strictest rule
of international law. Without being
aggressive, it is the duty of this nation to
make its moral power felt by other ma
tions. Diplomatic essays, smoothly written,
which yield everything and command
nothing, add nothing to the force of ma
ton, but rather invite insult and scorn.
Why do we allow our avowed principles
! to be disregarded by any power? Itneeds
only the fiat Of this great republic to decide
the fate of Macmillan. What blunder.
What crime to be content with promise
to withdraw the invading forces in eighteen
months. Before that time uIaided Mexico
will be ground to atoms, and republican
: ism in that beautiful country be among the
! things that were. If it is not intended to
Indicate the Monroe doctrine with energy,
r,- it be abandoned with dignity. In my
,a'gment, it was wise to declare that no
,t,eign nation should establish throne on
/ this continent against the consent of the
people. Without foreign aid it is clear
( that republicansm will be crushed out in
Mexico. Money is required to sustain
Juarez's army, and twenty million dollars
could be advanced by the United States
with a mortgage on Lower California,
Sonora, and other States, which would
make it safe. If Macmillan wants war, it
wont alarm us, but give US an opportunity
to vindicate our honor, which has become
dim under the Micawber policy of our
Foreign Secretary. hope some decided
steps will be taken.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
RICHMOND, June l6, 1866.
RICHMOND TOBACCO EXCHANGE.

RICHMOND TOBACCO EXCHANGE.
There were thirteen hogsheads opened
on Saturday. Sixteen hogsheads and two
boxes were offered. The boxes sold: | at
800, and / at s51. Ten hogsheads were
taken in. Six were sold as follows: at
Sl6, l at $3.50, at 1910, and 2 at $3.50
This market enjoyed its usual quiet TO-
day; but business men sought the bulle.
tins of the newspapers and the telegraph
offices frequently, the foreign news and
the evidence of financial agitation in New
York exciting good deal of interest.
Gold here was regulated by the rapid ad
vance in New York.
The news by the City Of Paris, with
dates to the 9Th, from London, had great
effect on the New York market Saturday
, Gold rose at once more than eleven pei
cent: from l47z on Friday to 1875. The
news that war is inevitable was the CHIEF
cause of the advance, as there seems to be
no great agitation of a financial character
in London, and only one failure, which, II
was announced, would result in no loss to
creditors. ay
1t is probable that American securities
came back a little freely; hut we conjec-
ture that the apprchended effects of war
had good deal to do with the excitement
on Saturday in Wall street. We see no
reason to hope for peace; but we antici-
pate that as soon as war is begun, people
will settle down to it; and SO far from in
jury flowing from it to this nation, it will
probably be benefited, and receive new
stimuIant to prosperity. This will GER
tainly be the case if the United States
bonds have the credit in Europe which we
have been led to believe they have. In
that case people will seek them as an in
yestment preferable to the bonds of the
belligerent governments.

The commencement exercises on Tues

resting. Most remarkable proficiency
(says the Abingdon HIgiaiaa) was ex-
hibited, showing the ability and fidelity OF
the teachers as well as application of the
pupils. Indeed, we heard one gentleman
say-himself scholar and Judge Of pro-
6ciency-that he had attended many col
lego examinations, both male and female,
but he had never seen this equalled in
both fairness and thoroughness.
