NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The Evening
Post says merchant vessel, alleged to
be intended for the CHILEAN service
against Spain, cleared at this port to-
day, The clearance was granted after
full investigation. The representative
of the Spanish Government here furn-
ished no evidence whatever against the
vessel. She had no arms or other war
material on board and under our reye-
nue. laws could not be detained. After
the clearance was granted the vessel
was seized upon Spanish representa-
tons. She is now held under the au-
thority of one of the Uniled States OIL
GERS in this city.
The Post says Wall street is stagnant
and the prevailing uncertainty almost
suspends legitimate business in sever
al departments of industrial enter
prise. Until our financial policy be-
comes more clearly ascertained there is
little prospect of much Improvement.

tanned, but railroad shares are weak.

Mr.. Stevens moved thepreyiousq ues-

tested that an amendment of this inn

he withdrew the demand.
Various gentlemen expressed their
views as to the effect of the amendment.
Mr.. Orth, of Indiana, and Mr.. Sloan,
of Wisconsin,, briefly explained the
amendment, they desired to offer sep

Mr.. Brooks replied that he was, fine

10 The Editors Of the Richmond Di$po'ch'
To-day has been great day with the
Nasons in Yanccyville, n. I. Inc Lodge
in celebrating the great anniversary oil the
Order. which this year falls on Sunday,
thought it more appropriate to anticipate
the time hy one day.
Great preparations had been made by
the hospitable citizens of Yanceyville for
a grand time, and they knew what they
we're about. Forming the procession, the
Masons marched to a beautiful grove to
the music of the old Twenty -fourth North
Carolina rcgimcntal band, where they were
most cordially greeted by the Hon. John
Kerr, who, in his peculiarly telicitous man
ncr, gave all hearty welcome. Then he
introduced the orator of the day, Rev. j.
F. B. Mays, Baptist minister from South
Carolina, who for an hour interested his
audience with a most telling speech. AZ
ter the speech, the ladies and the Masons
were invited to dinner-and such dim
ner-cvcrything to tempt the appetite, and
in the greatest abundance. / suppose not
less than six or eight hundred persons
dincd with the Lodge.
The crowd was estimated at from fifteen
to twenty five hundred persons. The whole
affair was IA decided succesS-and when
next they have speaking or give DIM

RICHMOND, June 26, 1866.


To the Editors Of The Dispatch:
After reading the lett OF the two dis
tinguishcd Virginans, Bolts and BALDWIN,
in relation 10 a conversation each ol tieih
had with the late President Lincoln, 1t has
occurred 10 me that they are both correct
in regard TO their conversations with IRE
sident Lincoln, and that he made mistake
in the person 10 whom he pledged himself
TO withdraw the troops from Fort Sumter.
In March. 1861, while in the city OF " ash
ipcton, | received letter from the late
Archbishop OF Baltimore, enclosing one lor
Senator Douglas, from the Bishop OF ohl-
caso. called on Senator Douglas at his
residence, in company with distinguished
clergyman of Washington, and learned
that he was confined TO his chamber 10y
sickness. did not see him, but the cler-
rynlan went TO his chamber and delivered
the letter To him.
/ was subsequently informed by the
Clergyman that Senator Douglas had peeh
with President Lincoln until a late hour
the night before, and that the war would
be avcftcd because President Lincoln had
promised him Senator Douglass To Win
draw the troops from both Plckens ana
Sumter. About this time the Governors
of the northern and western States ar
rived in Washington and prevented the
President from ordering the evacuation OF
Sumter. When Senator Douglas heard
OF the change the Presidents view had
undergone, he called to see him, and
charged him with loving his party more
1!mn he did his country. These facts made
an impression upon my mind, because
Wa, then an officer in the United States
navy, and was greatly interested in the
success of Senator Douglass noble efforts

BISHOP MAGILL IN PENNsYLVANlA.-at
Paschalville, near Darby, the cornerstone
of a new church was laid on Sunday last.
After the laying, Right Rev. DR.. Maglll,
Bishop of Richmond, Va, addressed the
people. He said that through religion men
attained salvation. 1t had been asserted
that religion ought to be purely spiritual,
God himself being spirit. But mans ma
turc could not be reached in this manner.
Even his most abstract thoughts require
matter for their manifestation. God him.
self, when He came to save mankind, did
not appear as a spirit, but took a substance
and form like to ours. lie appointed
teachers and founded his Church. The
Church, like her Divine Spouse, uses ma
terlal forms, as in the administration OF
the Sacraments, and builds temples for her
worshippers.
This edifice would be more glorious than
Solomon's Temple in all its magnficcnce,
inasmuch as upon its altar would be offered
mp an infinitely higher and holier sacrifice.
In concluding, DIR. Magill said that when
In his youth, fifty years ago, he rambled
over these very fields, Philadelphia had
but four Catholic churches; now she had
thirty -four, and others are to be built. In
| this respect, what was said of Philadelphia
could be said of every other city in the
Union.

To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:
Yesterday the Danville Masons cele-
brated the anniversary of St. John the
Baptist. Everything passed off most dc.
lightfully. The day was one OF uncloudcd
brightness, and most unmitigated holiness.
MANY of the craft were deferred by the
heat and dust from joining the procession,
but enough of them did assemble TO swell
the ranks to one hundred and fifty. Among
them was gay and glittering array OF
Knights Templar, splendidly mounted,
whose presence added very much to the
interest Of the occasion. Then followed
on foot the Master Masons and Royal Arch
Masons; the speaker, Hon. Z. W. Bell,
late of Missouri; and last, yet most vcne-
rable- looking of all, the Worshipinl Mas
ter, Rev. G.. W. Dame. The procession
moved to the Presbyterian Church, where,
after prayer by the pastor, and some very
fine singing by the choir, the audience
were RECALLED with rich intellectual treat
by Colonel Bell. His speech was chaste
aud eloquent throughout, and was
we'll received by the audience. lie
spoke of the antiquity OF the order
Of Masonry, and the very great dement's
II confers, and the peculiar beauty ana
force with which it enjoined some duties.
Answering some Of the objections to the
institution, he closed his speech most hand
somely. The choir again discourscd some
excellent music. The procession returned
TO the Lodge, and was called from labor to
refrcshment.
AT night brilliant assemblage of the
beauty and worth of the town gathered in
the Masonic saloon, where, after some as
fine music as have heard in a long time,
the audience was addressed by Major w.
7. Sutherlin, WHO, in short, handsome
address, urged upon the craft The impor-
lance Of rigidly practicing the tcncts OF
the Order, which are brotherly love, relief,
and truth. He was followed by our young
townsman, S. &. Wooding, ESD, who, in
terms equally well chosen and eloquent
commended the Masons TO the favorable
notice of the audieuce.
The speaking being finished, the audience
promptly responded TO call to supper. Il
was spread In the Lodge room, which wa
brilliantly illuminated. II you had seer

as ham, shoat, lamb, chickens, and all sort'

The calling of National Union Conven-

con. The object, in word, Is TO enable
all sections OF the country to meet upon
broad national platform, and TO inaugnrate
such measures as will restore all the States
10 their full rights and privileges under q
common Constitution.
The two topics, FcnianiSm ana Mexican
Republicanism, will hardly stand show
of much magnitude in Congress before the
adjournment, owing to the brieitlme which
nli conccdc will now elapse before that
event.
Stevens will probably endeavor to rush

determined when the Committee on fo-
reign Affairs make their report, il they do
so. Feuanism, beyond inspiring ie"
speeches which have been PROMISED, ou'

consideration.
The weather to-day has been intensely
warm. and the summer is inaugurated in
good earnest. As Congress can have but
little over four months vacation, the men,
beers are becoming very anxious to get
away to the cooler shades OF the North,
and about the Goth of July Washington
will probably have relapsed into the sum

a Terrific Railroad Accident-Frighf-
full Collision In a Tunnel-Three
Trains OH Fire.

There occurred on the 10th June, in
tunnel twenty miles from London, called
the Wclwvn tunnel, on the Great North
crn railway, most extraordinary collision
of three trains al once. 1t occurred in the
night, at thirty minutes past II o'clock.
Fortunately they were all .rreight trans.
1t seems that train passing through the
tunnel was stopped by the breaking down
of the engine, and no one going out OF the
tunnel to warn approaching trains, the next
one came upon the disabled train, not
being aware of its presence. The rear
brakeman, whose dutyit was to have given
warning, was found dead in the rear car,
and may have been killed or disabled by
the sudden stopping of the train he was
upon. The first train that struck that
which was broken down had large amount
Of oil and other combustible material.
This was soon followed by the meat train,
bringing the dead meat for the Newgate
market. That also was run up In heaps
and smashed. The fire of the trains in the
frightiul collisions had communicated with
the wreck, and soon getting to the OIL and
other inhammables, caused roaring and
explosive fire OF noises like firearms. Inc
Times describes the fire as roaring like the
mighty cataract of river. The result
was that nothing could be done until the
whole mass was burned. Only two men
were killed.
