Death of gen. J Del A. Battle.

We announce with deep regret the
death of Gen. Joel A. Battle. This
sad event took place last night at
half past twelve o'clock. The Gen.
eral had been i'll for about a month,
and it was feared that this would be
the result, though hopes were enter
tanned to the last of his recovery
Gen. Battle was a native of this
county, and spent nearly all his
useful life in our midst. lie had at
tanned the age OF sixty-One years,
and died beloved and hOnOred by all
who knew him. Few men in our
midst had more general acquaint-
ance or warmer friends. His death
will carry pang to many heart.
We need not here speak of his SER
vices either in the Legislative Halls
or in the field. In both he discharged
his duties faithfully and honorably,
and won distinction.
He will be buried at the family
graveyard by the Masons and
knights of Pythias, tomorrow
morning at II o'clock.-NeshriHe

The wheat tsC0rners' Smash-up--.
Fearful Calamity 60 the Bulls.
Of the COmmOditys

CHICAGO, August 20.-The break
which commenced in the wheat mar
ket yesterday continues to-day, and
prices opened this morning at 81 20
for cash or August delivery. There
is the greatest excitement, and there
are numerous rumOrs of broken
bulls. The entire commercial COM
munity is in a Whirl of excitement
over the breaking of the great "eor-
ner" in wheat, and the consequent
collapse Of the managers and their
adherents. What "Black Friday
was to the gold and stock marketin
New York, to-day is to Produce
Exchange of Chicago. The decline
in the price of wheat, which COM
menced yesterday morning and con-
tinued steadily throughout the day,
as before stated in this dispatch,
was only more marked this morn
ing, and rapidly eliminated in a
perfect panic, prices receding to
81 20 for cash or seller August, or
81 08 for September. This crash in
prices brought with 1t the managers
Of tho corner" and reports that
this one and that, who had been fol-
lowing their lead, had failed. That
these reports are true, so far as a
great many are concerned, is be-
You'd doubt; but until the close of
bank hours, when it can be ascer-
tanned whose checks have been
thrown, it can't be definitely known
how many have gone, nor exactly
who they are. AS matters stand at
present, there is intense feeling and
anxiety on the part of almost every
merchant. Many who were not in
any way connected with the clique,
who have been the architects of the
corner" will be more or less los
ers, having to stand between their
customers, whose grain they have
sold at high figures, and the bulls
who were purchasers, and who are
now unable to put up the prices.
The general feeling is one of the
greatest uncertainty, and to some
extent distrust, simply because, at
present, it is impossible to tell
where men stand. Men who have
been on the Board of Trade for
many years say they have never
seen such q day as to-day. No one
can tell as yet the final result.
The crush of the wheat "corner"
is the absorbing topic of interest in
commercial circles, and even among
classes of citizens who have little
interest in the doings of the bulls
and bears. The subject is canvass
ed eagerly. The fact that the break
has carried with it a greater or less
number of commission merchants
and operators in grain and crippled
others, and that men who were yes
terday many thousands ahead of the |
deal are to-day bankrupt, invests
the matter with an interest which !
extends also over the entire North
west, the more so, that many of the
grain dealers in the country have in
vested their money against the |
Corner" selling largely of wheat |
at the advanced prices it reached,
and are consequently, by the fail |
ure of the bull clique, large losers. |
So far as the positive failures |
among merchants are concerned, it |
is still too soon to state with GER
tAinty who are really broken. That |
the firm of j. 3. Lyon & Co., who |
were the originstors and principal |
managers Of the corner" have /
failed, there appears to be no doubt.

LATER.

Despite the action Of the authOri-
ties, who, owing TO sheer, utter
heIpIessness and inefficiency, were
obliged to surrender the control of
the CITY into the hands of the mill
tary, the rioters are vigorously car
rying out their desperate deeds of
blood and plumber. The Orange
men were charged this morning,
with fixed bayonets, up Carrick
Hill, but soon after, meeting an op-
posing force on Old Lodge road, the
Roman Catholics engaged with
them and fought for an hour with
guns and paving-stones. Many of
the employees from the mills on An
trim road have quit work to join
the rioters.
There is no knowing where the
matter will end. The riots Of 1866
lasted three weeks. 1t seems, that
the commandment is determined to
enforce order, and accordingly init
mates that every person found on
the streets viii be treated as 4 riot
er.
The public houses are all closed
today, and the soldiers have effectu-
ally cleared the streets and the riot
ers are now lodging around the
corners firing stray shots.
BELFAST, Aug. 21.-The hopes of
a restoration of the quiet, which
was excited yesterday, to a more
peaceful state of affairs have not
been realized. The condition, as
shown by the reports received at
headquarters, was worse than ever
last night. The authorities were
pOwerlcss against depredations,
though supported by an armed force
of fully five thousand men. The
have been DESTROYED,
and il was with the utm ost DIFF
ficulty that some of the churches
were preserved from sharing the
same fate. Grave mismanagement
on the part of the authorities is sus-
pected, and the general dissatisfac-
ton is so great thot the respectable |
citizens intend to. form vigilance |
for the arrest and sum-
mary punishment OF offenders.

Andrew johnson deplOres the in
action of the Democratic party, but
Andrew johnson is not infallible.
He was almost persuaded, it was
said, in 1866, to share in the action
of RaymOnd's Philadelphia Peace
Convention, which contemplated
the very ends now. proposed to be &C
complished by the Cincinnati and
Baltimore assemblages. Public
opinion was not then prepared for
the revolution, but steadily advanc-
ing changes have been wrought, and
the masses of the people have at
length reached conclusions even
then accepted by the first intellects
of the country. There are certain
great landmarks and governing po-
litical principles, in regard TO which
honest patriots are everywhere
agreed. In reference to these, Gree
ley is a Democrat, and Democrats
concur with Greeley. Republicans
and Democrats thus consistently NAV
cooperate, aud he is simply the vic
tim of his affection for a party who
believes that Democracy could tri-
umph without the cooperation of
Republication. Mr.. johnson is not
infaIlible. His Vaccinations have
not always been verified. He has
evinced, in fact, more faith in the
people than the people, in Andrew
johnson; but we do not pretend to
say that johnson was no wiser than
the multitude. 1t is only true that
one man thinks more rapidly
than the many, especially when
that man has the head that johnson
carries about on his brawny shoul-
ders. The people are now just
where johnson was in 1866 when he
approved the fusion of parties for
the sake Of peace and union and re-
pose.-APpeal, 16tA.

what Stewart EEaOWs About
Grants Cottage.

a. T. Stewart, dry goods mer-
chant, refutes the assertion Of the
Times that he cherishes malice
against Grant because his candi-
date for Collector of the port was
neglected, and that he acted with
Tammany in order 20 have his taxes
cut down.
Having proved these charges false
he takes the offensive by telling
what he knows about Grants Long
Branch real estate. Mr.. Stewart
said he had read Tom Murphy's let
ter this week, denying he had any
thing to do with the Long Branch
gift to Grant. Mr.. Stewart states
that the subscription paper for a
fund to buy a Long Branch cottage,
to be given to President Grant, was
presented to him for a subscription
of 5000 to complete the full amount.
The paper bore the names of Tom
Murphy, Grants Collector at New
York, John HOey, Geo. w. Childs,
Adolph Bone, and three or four
more, for five thousand each. Mr..
Stewart says he declined 10 sign.
Mr.. Stewart was asked If the re-
port was true that he had subscrib-
ed thirty thousand to the Greeley
campaign, but he declined to an
