A dispatch received at Army Headqnsr>
ters to-day from General Meade, transmitted
to General Grant, gives the latest dispatches
received from General Sibley, commanding
in Georgia, in relation to The reported diff
culties on the Ogeeche.
General Meade says General Sibley has
been instructed not to permit the organiza-
ton Of any armed bodies, whether white or
black, in contravention to law, aud to pres
serve the peace at all hazards; to CO. ope.
rate with the civil authorities, in case he
finds the same acting in good faith, and that
their action is necessary for the preservation
Of the peace, and not as at Camilla, when
the law was made pretext for committing
outragea on the negroes. At the same time
he is instrncted to disarm and disperse ell
assemblages of negroes, and require them to
submit to the legal action Of the civil author
tiles.
General Sibley's dispatches, which are
quite Lengthy, state that the troubles are con-
fined to two plantations, the owner of one of
which accusing the negroes of stealing rice,
and has got out warrant for their arrest.
The Sheriff applied to the military to "exe-
cute the arrest. but was refused and referred
to the circular OF September 26th for infor-
nation. He went, with two deputies, to
make the arrest, but was alarmed at the as
semby of negroes and ran of. he then
called for posse, and went with 130 men.
When near the station they fred on boy
whom they saw, wounding him. Seeing some
o.her negroes at the station they demanded
their arms, and on the negroes running, fired
on them, wounding two or three. They then
returned to the city and the citizens called
a meeting, and organized three battailions.
They have enlisted from 500 to 500 men, and
are still organizing.
The General states. that he went out to see
the negroes, and found that the newspaper re-
ports have been totally incorrect as TO their
numbers, &C., there being only about fifty
men, three guns and one bayonet or stick,
was all the arms he saw.
The negroes promised to CO me in and sur
render themselves under the protection oil
military, and subsequently IA Of them did so.
-Four OF these men the sheriff had warrants
for.

warrants have been taken out, but as the
sheriff hss made no effort to execute them !

tons TO aid him till hs has made an effort to
execute them. These warrants are for in.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS,

BosToN, Jan. 6.
Postmaster Lauder Of Salem is missing
together with about $4,000.
At q meeting Of the Boston Board Of Trade
on Monday, Mr.. Edward Atkinson introduced
a series of resolutions against the Morehead
tariff bill, the most important of which de-
clares that the increase proposed in said bill
in taxes upon iron, steel, and other metals
upon lumber, upon alkalis, upon glass, and
upon salt, are especially uncalled for and
would tend to enhance the cost Of production
Of almost all other commodities already &C
high as to have nearly destroyed our foreign
commerce, and seriously to impair the com
fort and prosperity Of the people.
The resolutions are TO be considered at .
special meeting on Saturday.

A boy circus rider performed the as
tonishing feat of turning % consecu-
tive somersaults on horseback in Lou
isville the other day. A dispute hav-
ing arisen between him and the mana
ger as to how many he was capable o
turning, the latter promised him the
horse, pad, and bride with which he
performed the act if he turned rs times.
After being introduced into the ring,
and performing a number of very diff
cult but beautiful acts of Craftsmanship
he threw aside the whip and prepared
himself for the trial. Until he compile
ted his tenth somersault the crowd re
manned quiet, but when fourteen, fif-
teen, sixteen, and seventeen were call
ed the most intense interest was mani
tested, and when he had fairly accom-
plished his twenty-fift somersault the
applause was deafening. Immediately
after his great act, without leaving the
back of his steed, which he had fairly
won, he successfully accomplished the
perious and difficult act of turning five
backward back somersaults, making
thirty in all. The horse and equip
ments are valued at two thousand dol
lars. ..,.#.

ever assemebled to listen to a sermon.
At least 5000 people were present,
while on the ground there were from
II, 600 to $4,000 more who were unable
to gain admittance to the circle. During
the day there were, an variously esti-
mated, from $4,000 to 10000 people
present. Twenty two States are repre-
sented. Several female preachers spoke
in different parts of the grounds. No
trains either way stopped here to-day,

have been here in large numbers, are

The Imprisoned Femiams.


Meetings were held on June 81, at
Cork, Limerick, Ennis, Mullingar, and
other places, in support of motion for
the release of the political prisoners.
Resolutions we're passed toGhe effect
that they had no faith in the so-called
messages of peace while the prisoners
were not released. At Cork, 5000
persons were present. The trades
marched in procession, headed by three
bands. Mr. Healy, a republican, pre-
sided. Mr.. Merriman of London sup
ported the resolution. He said Eng
ltsh people desired the release of the
prisoners, and charged Mr.. Bruce with
misreprl sentation. Mr. O'Sullivan, an
other publican, said if the Government
did not grant release now, it would
be obliged to do SO when the opportu.
nifty came. At the meeting to adyo-
cate the release of the prisoners, held
on the night of June %, in Dublin, in
the Rotundo, 1000 persons were pres
ent. Mr.. Butt, @. c., said the motto
of true Irishmen should be, "Bide
your time put your trust in God, and
keep your powder dry" If Govern
ment persisted in retaining the prison
ers, any profession of Cancellation was
useless. Mr. Williams of Dungarvan
said the prisoners would not accept
mercy they demanded justice of the
English Government, and if it was re
fused, let the blood be on their own
heads. He did n 1t advocate a resort to
the sword that doctrine was out of
time.

An interesting nun abduction case is
before the New-Orleans Courts. The
Sisters of the st. Joseph's Convent
charge that three relations of Sister
Annie of Jesus forcibly abducted her,
on Thursday, June 4, from the convent.
The presence of seven nuns in the
Courtroom, in dark robes, white caps,
and black wells, added much interest to
the scene. The defense neglected at
the last appearance to produce the mis-
sing sister in Court, under q previous
order of the Judge, because Il meeting
with the other nuns would be painful
and disagreeable; and furthermore, it
was possible that she was in the State
of Mississippi and outside the iurisdic-
ton of Louisiana court. The judge,
however, insisted on presence of sister
Annie, and if he heard from her own
lips that she wishes to withdraw from
the convent, he will dismiss the charge
The case is accordingly continued un-
till the young lady is produced. N. o.
Picayune.

OswEGo, July I

OSWEUO, Ouly u
DEAR MONITOR II wrote you,from
here yesterday, giving a little brief of
the 4th in Oswego. This place is beau
tifulIy situated at the mouth of the
Oswego River, and the city is about
equally divided, lying the half on the
west and the half on the east bank. -
Oswego is and always will be the lar
gest commercial port on Ontario Lake
all the trade of the Canada's border
ing on the Lake centres here, as ais }
the larger part of the trade of the up
per lakes. Here are some of the finest
elevators in the world, and do an i'm
mense traffic in grain. On the eastern
bank of the river, and fronting the lake
is the celebrated Fort Ontario" com
manding the entrance to the harbor,
and bidding defiance to the Red Coats
over the way. A Revenue Cutter IS
stationed here to give notice of and to
chase away any Alabama" that
may have an eye to plumber. Large
amounts of money have lately been ex-
pended in improving the harbor. Here
may be seen as / write, a " forest of
masts," looking something like the
shipping around New York. Swarms
of canal boats awaiting an opportunity
to take in cargo for the sea, board.
Steamers carrying passengers to other
parts; propellers clearing for the upper
lakes custom house officials looking
out for smugglers cars on the west
side 70. & S. r. r. cars on the east
side Or. & W. R. R. shifting light and
loaded cars, altogether make things
lively here. Two splendid iron bridges
connect the city together. The city is
well supplied with as good water as
ever came through reservoir, and plen-
ty of it at that. Here are the celebrat-
ed Oswego Starch Factories, covering
several acres of ground, and one would
think capable of supplying the whole
world with starch. IT'S said they do a
"stiff business, and L suppose they
do. Oswego has numerous factories,
of cotton, wooden and knitting, also,
perhaps coopering is carried on here as
extensively as in any other portion of
the State; Touring mills being numer-
Gus. Oswego is noted for its very SUI
perior schools, and its system of school
training. Were it not for the rigorous
winter here, this city would be one of
the most delightful places in the coun-
try. Summer is all that can be de-
sired, and scenery beautiful. Oswego
has a population of about $4,000, u
large portion of whom are to the "Ma-
nor born. OBSERVER.
