LOUISVILLE, July 24.-The fourteenth
annual festival ofthe National Sanger
bund Society commenced this morning.
Forty-four societies were represented,
embracing delegates from nearly every
large city in the Union. Our city pre-
sents a holiday appearance, german and
American flags floating in juxtaposition
from public and private buildings.
Every preparation has been made for
the entertainment of many thousands
of guests. Houses are thrown open,
and genuine Kentucky inequalities
are everywhere apparent. A grand
procession came OFF this afternoon
through the streets, under evergreen
arches and elaborate decorations.
They finally reached the magnificent
hall, on Broadway, leased for the oc-
casion, and occupied the stage, where
accommodations had been made for
one thousand persons. Mayor Ligth-
gov eloquently welcomed the musical
society TO the hospitality of the city,
and was gracefully and beautifully re-
piled to by Prof. Haliman, in behalf OF
the Sangerbunds. Profs. Loboliwski,
Hart and Scoller directed the musical
festivities, which were received with
great enthusiasm and applause. In
the evening, the various societies, ac-
companied by thousands of our citi-
zens, held a soire at Woodland Gar
den, when instrumental music was
discoursed until late hour. The
festival continues throughout the
week, concluding Saturday with a
grand excursion to the Mammoth
Cave.
The body of a man was picked up to-
day, who was drowned off the ferry
boat yesterday while in state of inc
briation. This gave rise to a report
that the man belonged to one of the
Cleveland musical socities. Thorough
investigation shows that the corpse is
not one of the singers, although the in
dividual has not been identified.

THE TIMES ON AMERICA.

1t is stated by the New York World
that Mr.. WALTER, the principal proprie-
tor of the London Times, who is at pres
ent in this county, has written letter
to the editor of that journal, expressing
his disapproval of its past policy on
American affairs. OF late the course OF
the Times, owing perhaps TO the more
impartial and friendly accounts Of events
in this country furnished by the Ameri-
can correspondents, has been more sat-
isfactory. Its advocacy of the settlement
of the Alabama claims, of leniency to
the Fenian prisoners in Canada, and its
fair discussion of American political
events and the results of the recent cleo
tons, have certainly astonished that
large class of readers who once regarded
the Times only as the sympathizer with
the South. Mr.. WALTERS knowledge of
this country, gained by his present visit,
and the friendly feelings of the represen-
tatives of the Times in this country, will,
we think, insure hereafter in that power
full journal just consideration of Ameri-
can affairs, and one which will meet the
approval Of candid men, not only here,
but abroad.

Thrilling Incident.

The Royal Standard, of Grand Turk,
relates thrilling incident of the hurri-
cane which lately swept over Turk S
Islands
Mr.. Walter Arthur, whose family was
at the Hawks Nest, attempted, during q
lull in the gale, after the destruction Of
his dwelling, to rech town, distance of
two miles, with his wife and children.
During the struggle he succeeded in de.
posting three of his children in house
in the suburbs, where over sixty other
persons had sought shelter. Afterward,
when about hundred yards from the
house, and while on the ground, his knees
embedded in the earth to enable him to
sustain his wife and two children
hundreds of dangerous missiles flying
over his head, either one of which would
have been fatal in its effects had il struck
the crouching group-the house where
he left his children was taken up by the
wind freighted with its humanity, and
carried over wall without touching a
stone, and dashed almost to pieces. He
could not make the slightest exertion to
look after those children, as it was ter.
rible struggle to prevent his wife and
other children from being swept away
and killed. The children escaped with
their lives, however, though others in the
house were killed.

LOYAL MILITIA.

enlistment of loyal militia" These
troops are to perform such work as the
Governor may require. Any one who

BEAURKGARp.-NEEpLE GUN.

A Northern paper says: If the foreign
journals speak Alright, BEAUREGARD is no
friend to the needle gun. He is reported
to have told the French Emperor, at an
interview not long since, that the needle
gun was ''humbug, and that the rebel
armies had fought against much more
effective weapons in the hands of the
Union troops. He says the United States
produces the best guns known and
whilst the Prussian needle gun had a
range of but 400 yards, the Austrians,
armed with American guns, could have
moved the Prussians at much longer
range. He is reported to have said that
ii was not the superior Prussian guns,
but the inferior Austrian generalship,
that gave Prussia the victory.

LUETs HISTORY.

LUST's history of the late war has
some remarkable passages. This is from
the introduction:
fit should appear that the anti-slavery
agitation, leading to such terrible public
and private evils, was actually Fictitious
in its origin and charaeter-so far as its
positively efficient agents have pursued
it-and was, in reality, the fruit Of a
struggle for political power, instead of a
moral or philanthropical demonstration,
a very grave question is thus presented
for the consideration Of the American
people. For whatever contentment they
night feel at the result, in one view Of
the subject, they may not be so well sat

Massachusetts; not, OF course, the geo
graphical State, but the principles, ideas
and purpose which that name stirs in the
mind of every man who hears it. We
fear he has learned little from the war.
Bigoted, half informed, intensely sec
tional, the moment armed resistance
ceases, he is Just the man to serve the
South in her effort to regain by intrigue
what she lost by arms.
If he is our next President, he will
carry out to its fulfllment, on national
scale, that disgracful and wholesale sur.
render to johnson which only North
ern growl, that drowned even the thun-
der Of Niagara, frightened him and his
comrades from completing. After living
twenty years at the Southin intimate re-
lations with her leaders, after sweeping
through her territory at the head of q
victorious army, and taking the latest
survey of her mood and resources, he
proposed to treat the war as frolic, and
let both sections resume, substantially,
the relations they held before the rebel
lion. Gen. Sherman is too shrewd and
capable man to allow Of our explaining
this on any ground of credulity or mis-
apprehension. Such an offer could have
come only from a mind incurably South
ern in its opinions. If the hot fires of
such civil war could not burn this folly
and wickedness out of him, he is past
cure. His clear, logical, common sense
taught him what honor and fair play de-
mand
While he had no relish for the plan of
allowing negroes TO fight, and flung his
influence against it, he confessed that
Ito admit the negro to this struggle
for any purpose, was to give him right
to stay in it for all, and that when the
fight is over, the hand that drops the
musket cannot be denied the ballot"
still, no man has since heard one word
from him in support of that rule of
justice and fair play His narrow Sec
tional hate has smothered his logic. His
old, bitter aristocracy of the skin still
clings to him. There is an old proverb
that an Italianized Englishman is
