Sheridan w. Banks.

General BANKS, the Red River hero, better
known, however, as Stonewall JAoKsoN's Oomn,is-
sary, has written o letter to the Washington Nd
tional Republican on the New Orleans riots, in
which he says:
The Convention was the ostensible, and not the
latent cause OF the outbreak. II was a peaceful
and lawful assembly. One word from the recog-
nized authorities OF tho United States in New
Orleans would have secured its adjournment.
General SHERIDAN, whose word even the Radi-
calls cannot doubt, thus disposes OF the matter:
NEW ORLEANS, 1.90 P. M.-August /, 1866.
You are doubtless aware Of the serious riot
which occurred in this city on the 3Oth. politi-
cal body, styling itself the Convention Of 1864 met
here on the 30th, for as it is alleged the purpose
OF remodeling the present Constitution OF the
State. The leaders were political agitators and
revolutionary men, and the action OF tho Conven-
ton was liable to produce breaches OF the public
peace.

lated to disturb the tranquility Of the department

Says:
Dissatisfied with the prospect of political equali.

arc emigrating. Many have already gone; mainly,
We believe, to the West They have established
an Office Of Emigration in Columbia, the aim OF
which appears to be to secure concert of move

Trial of Maj. Gee.-The Military Commits
sion, sitting in the trial of Maj John H. Gee, met
again yesterday and, after the reading of the
Journal Mr. Holland, Counsel for the defense,
moved to quash the proceedings, on the ground
that the late proclamation of President johnson,
declaring that hostlities had ceased, and that the
ordinary Judicial process could be executed by
the civil authorities in this and other Southern
States, late in rebellion and restoring the writ of
ha6es corpus, and that, therefore, martial law had
ceased, and the tribunals created to execute it
had terminated within the States named He
argued in favor of the motion at considerable
length, and cited numerous authorities to sustain
the position he took.
The Judge Advocate asked that the motion be
not entertained, on the ground that the Court had
no official evidence of the genuineness of the
Proclamation.
The Court over-ruled the OBJ lection. The Judge
Advocate then asked time to prepare his answer
to the argument of the defense in regard to the
question of Jurisdiction, which was acceded to
by the Court
The Court then adjourned to 10 o'clock to-day.
We will endeavor to give, in our next issue,
synopsis of the argument for and against the
motion of the defense.

THE OCEAN BoTToM.--Mr. Green, the IA
nous diver, tells singular stories of his adj
ventures when making search in the deep
waters of the ocean. He gives me some new
sketches of what he saw at the :. Silver Bank, y
near Hayti
The banks are of the coral on which my
divings were made are about forty miles in
length, and from ten to twenty in BREADTH
On this bank of coral is presented to the di-
yer one of the most beautiful and sublime
scenes the eye ever beheld The water varies
from ten to one hundred feet in debth, and is
so clear that the diver can see from two ito
three hundred feet when submerged, with but
little obstruction to the sight.
The bottom of the ocean in many places is
as smooth as marble floor, in others it is
studded with coral columns from ten to one
hundred feet in height, and from one to
eighty feet in diameter. The tops of those
more lofty support myriad of pyramidial
pendants each forming more giving the real
ity to the imaginary abode of some water
nymph. In other places the pendants form
arch after arch 4; and as the diver stands on
the bottom of the ocean and gazes through
the deep winding avenue, he finds they will
fill him with sacred an awe if he were
in some old cathedral which had been long
beneath old oceans waves Here and there
the coral extends even to the surface of the
water, as if the loftier columns were towers
belonging to these stately temples that are
now in ruins.
