AN IScrDRNr OF THE CnrrAs war

AN INCIDENT OF THE CRETAN War.

The Hans GraH Estate.

The Secretary of State has received
the following:
UNITED STATES LEGATION, The HAGUE,
Sept. 9th. Sir: A statement appear
ed some time since in an American pa.
per, to the effect that the Minister at
the Hague had confirmed a report that
SIS, 900, 900 had been left in Holland
to the defendants of one Hans Graf.
In answer to the many letters received
on the subject, 1 have made inquiry,
and find no foundation for the rumor.
Some of the writers state that their
ancestors owned q large estate in a
certain part of Baden, which was con-
6scated during q religious persecution,
and that this government was prepared
to refund.
The Minister of Baden, informs me
that no such persecution and coniscs-
ton ever occurred, and that the rec
ords show that at the time and place
specified one Hans Graft was in posses
sion of q farm rs tenant, but held no
eastate in fee. As I am advised thst
in many parts of the country money
is being laid out by the family, and 1
find it impossible to continue to notice
their numerous letters, 1 BEG to sug-
gest that such publication be authori-
zed by the Department rs will answer
their inquiries and save them further
expenditures.
l have the honor to be, with great
respect your obedient servant,

Italy.

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Midnight.-The
latest dispatches from Italy, though
conflicting. are highly important. A
message is Just received from Florence,
announcing that the insurgent troops,
holding a strong position a Bagna-
res, in Viterbo, were attacked by the
papal forces. A short, but sharp con-
hict resulted in the defeat of the at
lacking party, who ere obliged to has
tily withdraw. with losses not stated
The effect or this victory was very in
spring to the party of action.
A public meeting of the friends Of
Garibaldi was held at Turin yesterday.
Revolutionary speeches we're made by
many distinguished persons. Great
crowds Of persons were present and
the enthusiasm was unbounded. Nee
tings of like character are in contem-
plation in other cities of Italy.
Through a prisoner at Csprers, Carl
bsldi has issued a stirring address TO
his followers which is published to-day.
He recites at length the grievances Of
Italy and asks his countrymen to re-
dress them now. He appeals strongly
to their patriotism, and urges all his
friends to march forthwith to Rome.

Trial of JEFF. Davis.


The following facts relative to the
coming trial of JEFF Davis, are from the
best authority. The trial is set for the
fourth Monday of November, and as
the Government will not interfere there
will be no postponement by counsel Oh
either side. The offence of levying
wal against the United States will be
testified to by Judge Scarborough, of
Norfolk, Hon. John Good, member of
the Confederate Congress, and Capt.
Hendren, who were compelled to ap-
pear before the Norfolk grand jury
and testify to facts upon which the in
dictment was made. There will be very
few, if any, witnesses for the defence.
The fact of leVying war being admitted,
the prosecution Will then proceed with
the legal argument that the prisoner
is guilty OF treason and the counsel for
defense will argue that he, being a cit
izen of the State, and under its laws,
a prior allegiance was due TO it, and not
to the United States. 1T has been pos
itiyely asserted that Judge Chase would
preside, but as the Supreme Court COM
mences its cession on the first Monday
in December. this is not possible. The
trial is expected to last several weeks.

Important Letter.

The Secretary of the Treasury this
morning addressed an important letter
to a gentleman in New York in rela-
ton to our finances, of which the fol-
lowing is a copy:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Oct. Z 1867,
DEAR SIR Your favor of the 4th
instant is received. Too much import
ance is attached to the u~tterancs to
which you refer. The people of the
United States are all sound upon the
question of the preservation of the Ma
tionsl faith, as they were upon the
question of the preservation of the Un-
ion. 1 consider the faith of the Gov
eminent pledged to paythe $50 bonds
when they are paid, in coin. There
need, 1 think, be no apprehension,
that they will be called in at the expi-
ration of Eve years from their respect
i've dates and paid in United States
notes.
The United States notes were issued
under the pressure of a great necessity
and are, by authority of Congress. be-
ing rapidly withdrawn from circulation.
No more can be issued under existing
laws, nor can l believe that any consid-
cradle number Of the members of Con-
gress would favor any additional issue
for any purpose whatever, much less
for the purpose of paying bonds, in vi
olation of the express understanding
under which they were negotiated
The policy of contracting the circula-
ton of United States notes, adopted
by Congress. and being steadily pur-
sued by the Secretary, should, of itself,
even if the honor of the nation were
not involved in the question, satisfy
holders that $50 bonds will not be cali
ed in and paid before maturity in q
deprecated currency.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) II. McCULIoCH, Sec'y.

The Meeting on saturday.

The weather could hardly have beer
more ~unfavorable for 8 public gathering
than it was on last Saturday morning.
Nevertheless the people came to town il
large numbers, and from all parts of tht
county, thus showing they felt q deep in.
terest in the political issues of the day
Arrangements had been made In various
sections, to come TO town in professions,
with flags and music; but the rain and
storm seemed to forbid the success Of such
undertakings, and they we're mostly absn-
doned. The wide -swake and plucky Un-
ion men, land ladies too) of Meccs, how
ever, having previously determined to
to come in good style, carried out their
programme in spite Of the weather.
There are hosts of live Republicans in
Mecca. and we have no fears of the result
there on Tuesday.
Mesopotamia, although remote from the
county seat, was largely represented by
by her indomitable Republicans. The ex-
cellent cornet band Of that town was
present, and furnished some of the best
music heard In Warren for some time
Although this band is of comparatively
recent organization, it is one of the best
in this part of the State. In behalf ofthe
Union men of Warren, and the Republic
cans present on Saturday, generally, we re-
turn thanks to the gentlemen of the Mes
opotamia Band for their visit on Saturday,
thereby adding TO the agreeableness ofthc
exercises of the day.
The meeting was held on the Park,
east side of the Court House. After sew
eral fine airs by the Warren Band, the
meeting organized by calling Josiah Rob
bins, Esq, ofNiles, to the Chair.
Senator Chandler, of Michigan, was in
troduced to the meeting, and spoke for
about two hours, making s most effective
speech, and giving the most unbounded
satisfaction 70 his hearers. All the i'm
portant issues were handled with great
c~learness and abilityB Mr.. Chandler was
followed by AlphonsO Hart of Portage
County, in a brief but sound and pertinent
speech, such as Mr.. Hart never fails to
to make. General VIM. Steadman, of
Portage, was next called out, and charged
on the works of the enemy in his usual
vigorous style.
The meeting was enthusiastic, and the
remarks of the speakers upon the question
Of the Amendment, were always received
with marks Of most decided appreciation.
It was s matter OF much regret that
Gen. Hayes, who had been advertised to
be here, Was absent. For this dissppoint-
nent the County Commit tee is in no wise
blame. The fault, if any exists, rests
with the State Central Committee, who 9
days before the meeting here. coun-
ermAndsd the appointment of Gen. Hayes
or Warren, and made IN appointment in
he Southern part Of the State. We pre-
ume the State Central Committee felt
hat the interests of the cause imperatively
demanded the change. /
