" For the last week undoubtedly the most
important individual in Baden has been q
thin, gray-whiskered little gentleman,
whose blue velvet coat, comical pinched
hat, and pink parasol, attracted the atten-
ton of even the few uninitiated who did
not recognize in this singular parsonage the
great Offenbach. The popular composer
has been staying here in order to direct the
rchearsals of his new operetta, which was
given last night for the first time, the macs
tro himself leading the orchestra. The first
performance of the Princesse dc Trebi-
zonde,' composed expressly for Baden, had
naturally been looked forward TO with much
curiosity, the interest attached to it being
not little enhanced by report (Which
trust is erroneous) that the composer of so
many pretty and attractive melodies has
determined to follow the example OF. Ros-
SIM, and retire, while still in the prime of
his talent, into idlencss. The brilliant sue
cess of last night would make one regret
more than ever such resolution. Not
withstanding the intense heat the theatre
was crammed from pit to gallery, and from
the overture till the fall of the curtain rang
with well-deserved applause"

ia the geoerapher and astronomer of the
expedition, and the object Of research is
the sen between Greenland and Spitzber-
gen, as far as ellis Land. The expedi-
ton sailed from Bremerhaven on the 2lst
of February last. A letter dated May 9th
has been received in Gotha from DR.. Dorst,
who dates from "a degrees north latitude,
about 100 miles from the East Greenland
coast, and reports an average seal season !;
in some parts rich catches have been made.
The second expedition is Lamont's, with
perfectly new screw steamer, the Diana,
built purposely for the voyage. She is two
hundred and fifty tons burthen, and pro-
visioned for two years. Mr.. Lamont is a
member of the British Parliament, and is
we'll known as thorough seaman and q
good geologist. DR.. Smith accompanies him
as naturalist, and Hamilton Macallum as
painter. His goal is the sea between Spitz-
bergen and Nova Zembla, and he will also
explore ellis Land. He sailed from Eng
land on the goth of April.
The third expedition is Captain Palliser's.
He has q sailing schooner, with n steam yawl
on board. In 1868 Captain Palliser spent
three months on Spitzbergen, engaged in
hunting; but rs that island did not satisfy
him, he now goes to Nova Zembla, and will
explore the still almost unknown sea be-
tween Spitzbergen and that island. He
sailed from England in April.
The fourth expedition is A. Rosenthal's
screw steamer Albert, of 700 tons and
ninety horsepower, with crew of seventy
persons, under Captain Hashagen. This
vessel is provisioned for fifteen months,
and has nearly 500 tons of coal on board.
Dr.. Emil Bessels, of Heidelberg, is zo0lo-
gist and sketcher. The object OF this expe-
dtion is to sail around Spitzbergen, to ex-
plore ellis Land and the sea between Spitz-
bergen and Nova Zemhla, and to penetrate
to the most northern latitude possible, fol-
lowing along the Siberian coast in search OF
deposits of mammoth remains, &c. This
expedition sailed from Bremerhavcn on the
23d of May.
The fifth is the second German North
Polar Expedition. It consists Of the screw
steamer Germania and the sailing vessel
Hansa. The scientific force of this expe-
dition includes Drs. Bergen, Buchholz
Copeland, Laube, Pausch, and Payer. The
chief vessel is under the command of Cap
tain Koldeweg. The object is the explora-
ton of the Arctic central region, on the
basis of East Greenland, the solving of the
polar question, the measurement Of lati-
tudes, &c. The vessels left Brcmerhayer
on the 18th of June.
From the sixth, or Bradford-Hayes expe.
dition, several letters have been received
lately. This expedition was fitted out by
Mr.. William Bradford, an American artist
to convey himself and friends on scienti.
fc expedition to the Arctic regions, and
sailed from st. Johns, Newfoundland, or
the Sd of July. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the progress made has been, so far
favorable, and that there is good reason tt
hope that the voyage will prove grca

WASHINGTON, September 3-Attorney-
General Hoar's opinion that the test-oath
ia not required of the members Of the Vir-
GINA Legislature by the reconstruction
acts Of Congress, and that there is no au-
thority therein for its exaction, has been
sent to General Candy.
It is understood here that General Candy
will very shortly issue his proclamation for
the converting of the Legislature, and that
involves the Inauguration Of the Lieu
tenant Governor, and as corollary that of
Governor Walker.
Second Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, September 3.-The War
Department yesterday received from At
torney-General Hoar his opinion relative
to the status of the Virginia Legislature.
He transmitted the same to General Candy
for his information and guidance, and it
depends upon that officer to make the full
text public. The Acknowledgement says
that the legislature must, as q pre-requl-
site, submit the constitution and their
action thereon to Congress for approval.
In this the test-oath will not be required. If
the constitution and the action of the Legis-
lature be approved by Congress, the Lcgisla-
ture then becomes the Legislature of the
State of Virginia, and the provisions of the
constitution fixing the qualifications of the
members of the Legislature necessarily
prevail, the requirements of the recon-
struction acts being thus superseded so far
as Virginia is concerned. Before the ap-
prevail by Congress. Virginia not being in
all respects State of the Union, the Lee
gislature, as provisional body, cannot pass
laws without its members taking the test
oath. The reconstruction acts require the
ratification of the fifteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States before
the State can be admitted to representation
in Congress.

DREADFUL DEATH.--On Wednesday night
about 9 o'clock Mrs. Mary Connolly was
crushed between the cocs Of wheel in the
City Mills. Both Of her legs we're cut off,
and she WAS badly confused in the region
of the heart, causing death in few min
utcs.
1t appears that the deceased was the wife
of the night-miller, James Connolly, and,
in accordance with her custom, kept her
husband company to chide the long and
toilsome hours Of the night. At the time
of the accident she was sitting close to the
crown-whecl of the machinery in the mill,
when it is supposed the wind blew her
dress into the cogs Of the Wheel drawing
her between them. Before being discovered
by her husband she had made four reyolu-
tons Of the wheel, completely tearing the
clothing from her body; and when dragged
from between the wheels her mutilated
body was in perfect state of nudity.
This occurred on the fourth floor of the
mill, and Mr.. Connolly, after he got his
wife from between the cogs. had to run
down to the first floor and pull the gong to
stop the engine, when lie returned to his
poor wife, perfectly distracted at his sad
bereavement.
The deceased was native Of Baltimore,
and had been married but two months.
The coroner held an inquest on the body
and the verdict Of the jury was in accord
ancc with the facts elected.
Tie remains Of the unfortunate lady, &C
companied by her distressed husband, were
taken 10 Baltimore yesterday afternoon on
board the steamer George Lcary.-NorJoM

HoAcDE.-0n Wednesday negro boy
named Nat, a servant at the Boyden House,
was shot in the forehead and instantly
killed. The killing seems to have been the
result OF the accidental discharge of a pistol,
but whether the pistol was in the hands of
the deceased, or in the hands Of Tom Har-
grave, another colored man, admits of some
question. The verdict of the coroner's
Jury leaves the matter in doubt.
1t seems from the evidence that the de-

al the time, which was probably supposed

A DESPERATE FIGHT IN TEXAs-CCNTEST
BETWEEN UNITED STATES TROOPs AND A
BAND or DEspERADOEs-FOrR OF THE LAT
TER AND one SOLDIER KTLLED.-Shreuc-
port, L., September 1.-Intelligence has
just been received here of desperate fight
near San Patricio, Texas, between q small
squad Of United States troops and band
of the reckless outlaws who roam mt plea
sure over Texas and commit murders and
outrages almost daily. On this occasion the
troops were out to arrest some Of the out
laws. They made determined resistance.
and lively fight ensued. The troops finally
cot the best of the villains, but only after
killing four and wounding several others.
One soldier was killed and a number
wounded. The condition Of affairs in the
thinly-settlcd portions of Texas is very bad,
and not day passes without some outrage
from these gangs Of banditti.
