WAR INSURANCE CASS-THE "GHOB' CHA."-At the Ldverpool%*iSsizes the following case has been tried: Mr. Edward Bates, a well-known Liver gool merchant, _ sought 'to recover .ora an Underwriter at Lloyd's, named Hewitt, tho sam of ?6,000, the amount of a policy of insurance granted .by the latter upon the steamer Georgia, which, prior to tho effecting of the insurance, had been employed as a Confederate' cruiser. The vessel, after being so employed, was sent tp Liverpool, where she was dismantled and altered from a ship Of-war into a merchant vessel. She was then* bought by the plaintiff and chartered to the Portuguese Govern? ment for the conveyance of mails. Before making the purchase, ?the plaintiff was informed that the vessel j could have a British register. She sailed in the beginning of August, 1 but after being out^a few days, she was captured off the coast of Portu? gal by the Federal steamer Niagara, which had been cruising about wait? ing for ber. The plaintiff denied that he was in any way concerned in the American war, and at the time of the capture the vessel was engaged in a peaceful and legitimate trade. Under these circumstances, the -\e ssl having been totally lost to tl?e own? ers, the present action was brought, the defendant refusing to pay the in? surance. He did so on the ground that he was not aware of thc incl that the vessel had been previously en? gaged as a Confederate war vessel, which be urged was a question most material to the insurance, for if he bad known that fact, he should not under any circumstances have incur? red the risk. For the plaintiffs it was shown that there was only one vessel called the Georgia, and her previous employment was a matter of general discussion, not only in the public journals but even in the House of Commons.

CQLTJMBLL Tuesdiay Morning, 'Oct. 17,1865. Farolea ?nd Fardoni. It will be seen from despatches in -another column that President John son bas pafoled Messrs. A. H. Ste Tens, Reagan, George A. Trenholm and others lately, in close custody, and that he has signed the pardons for the members of our State Con? vention. From what our exchanges aay, we should not be surpr%ed to see the proclamation.of a general amnes? ty b?for? many weeks. President Johnson is thus progressing in his work of reconstruction and restor?n tion without much regard to the mut? terings of the storm of fanaticism and radicalism which, is .being invoked by Sumner, Wilson and others. Sad Coincidence. Masonry, im South Carolina, has suffered very heavily within a short time, in the loss of two of its highest officers. A few weeks since, the fra? ternity was called to mourn the loss of R. B. Boylston, 'Esq., Deputy Grand Master of the State, and now in tho death of Dr. Boatwright, the Grand Master has been called from their counsels. Perhaps no such pre? vious sad coincidence has been enter? ed on the proceedings of any Grand Lodge of the Order. The "Election?. Although the despatches say that Pennsylvania has gone "Repubbean,'' rfc will be observed that the Union oandidate for Mayor of Philadelphia, and the same party candidates for Auditor and Surveyor-General, have both been chosen by large majorities. In Ohio, Gen. Cox, the Union candi? date for Governor, has carried the State by 25,000 majority. The fac tionists and radicals are catching it 3Torth, East and West. Gcaeral Humyhreys, late a General in the Confederate army, has been elected by the people of Mississippi io the office of Governor, under their new Constitution. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says that a powerful effort is being directed towards getting the Presiden t io revoke the amnesty pardon which he has just tendered to Gen. Hum? phreys. We don't ftrink the effort w?l succeed. We see it stated that the Postmas? ter-General has under consideration, and is about to adopt, a new plan of cancelling postage stamps, which will add another to the many triumphs of American genius in the useful arts. His plan consists in printing and can? celling postage stamps with the same chemical inks, thus rendering it im? possible to tamper with the cancella? tion without obliterating or defacing th? stamps. Coil. JAMBS H. WrrHEBsr-opw.-We ?egret to learn, {rom the Yorkville inquirer, that the above-named gen? tleman died at Lancaster Court House, on Monday of last week, of cancer on the lip, from which ha had boon suf? fering for several months past. Col. Witherspoon was a member of the late Confederate Congress, from tho -First Congressional District of this State. For many years previous to Ilia election io Congress, he held the effioe of Commissioner in Equity and Ordinary for Lancaster District. Ho waa much esteemed wherever known, and the people of Lancaster-his na? tive District-will long lament and Joel his loss. -.-?D? The Washington Star states that Ute oapitid stock for the construction Cf a now railroad between Alexandria and Freuericksbuxg, Va,, has been .ubseribed, and thu work will be pro? ceeded with immediately. A charter for the road was obtained at the hist session of ?ho Virginia Legislature. Old Gen. Cass, once Democratic candidate for the Presidency, -still lives at thc ag9 of eighty-three. Charleston Cotton Metric*? We extract thc? following market report from the Charleston Courier, of Friday: Since our last report on the 6th iust., the receipts have amounted to lot) bales of Sea Island adel 1,556 bules upland 'cotton. On the 4th and 5tl? inste., news came to hand per steamers Belgian ami Persia showing a considerable advance in price and heavy sales, and au active market in "Liverpool. On Monday, the 9th inst., middling cotton had advanced in this market to 41(3)42 cents lb. On Tuesday morning the news by telegraph reported the arrival of the steamship China, at Halifax, bringing the extraordinary information that cotton had gone up from 4d.@5d. a pound since the sailing of the Persia. This news Immediately put middling cotton up to 46@48 cents, at which prices some sales were made on Tues? day and Wednesday. Notwithstand? ing this great rise, parties continued anxious buyers, and yesterday mid? dling cottons wore worth at least 52 cents, and strict middling to good middling were sold during the day at 53@-54 cents lb. The transactions during yesterday amounted to some 400 bales, at the prices above men? tioned. THE TESBIBLE DBO?GHT TN NEW ENGIIAND.-A ?correspondent of the Boston Journal, writing from Pepper ell, Massachusetts, gives a sad account of the effects bf the drought in that vicinity. Unless rain falls very soon, he says the trees in the forests will die. Apples and winter fruit are good for nothing. He says farther: The wells are nearly all dry. People, horses, oxen and cows travel one and two "miles to the brooks for drink and for family use. Crain and saW-mills about the town have been stopped, except one, and this one was stopped this (Tuesday) morning by the Na? shua, Kew Hampshire, cotton mids, who sent a mau hero to open the water-gates, and dig away, so that all of the water might run to the Nashua without impediment. This I am told by a fai mer, who rose carly this morn-* iug for a long ride to this mill, with grain for himself and his neighbors. On arriving there, he gained thc above information. Already a large number of "grists" were there wait? ing their turn, and QU his way home he met nfany moro going to be, like himself, obliged to return with their grain, but no meal. Unless the Nashua. Company reconsider their cruel action, we must send to Lowell or Boston to get our grain mealed, or our stock must starve, beside faniish ishing nearly for water. lt is believed that the recent order of Gen. Woods, Military Comman? dant in Alabama, shutting up the Episcopal churches in that State, w?ll meet the eame "fate" at the hands of the President, as his order stopping all cotton from coming into port. The I 'resident is understood 'not to care a button for forced prayers from any sect or clergy. TH? EAST TENNESSEE ROUTE.-The Chattanooga Gazeile says the time through from that city to Washing? ton will be fifty-one honrs, Baltimore in fifty three hours, philadelphia in forty-eight hours, and New York in sixty-one hours. Thig is by the East Tennessee route. .?W We fear the reverend gentleman who fills the Executive chair of Ten neasep is about to fall from grace Hear what the Tribune says ol him: "Brownlow would make a pretty mess of Tennessee. He would dis? franchise all the small rebela, hang all the leaders and banish the negroes. This would leave about four thousand men to do all the voting, hold all the offices and voto. Brownlow would be sure of re-election for tlie nert ten years." GETTING AUAKMI?D.-The Washing? ton correspondent of tiie New York Herald says 'A citizen of Brooklyn, New York, writes to the Freedmen's Bureau that parties in that city are engaged in inducing negroes to come from the Southern States io the East, promising them work and good pay, and charging a feo of five dollars a head for all whom they transport. By this sort of agency, a large uumber of indigent and worthless blacks ure being introduced into Now York, and very few are meeting with any consi? derable success in getting employ 'ment." ^w*>*5*. -T~ v*r>-.' I 1 I I fjmmt Porci?n Hews. THE FENIANS. Arrests of Fenians continue, and 'important documentary evidence js accumulating against them. Among the papers discovered is one giving the particulars of expected arrivals at Bantry Bay of arms-bear? ing vessels from America. The Cork Examiner gives a report that a special commission will shortly be convened for that city to try the Fenian prisoners on the charge of high treason. Fenianism is said to have been dis? covered among the Irish residents in. London, and the police were keeping a strict 8urveillanoe over them. A passenger by the City of Man? chester, from New York, named O'Biordan, who asserts he is a United States Captain, was arrested "at Queenstown on landing from the steamer. Treasonably documents were found on him. Three additional ar? rests were reported among'the troops in the garrison at Cork. DUBLIN FENIANS REFOi:K THE MAGIS? TRATES-STARTLING STATEMENTS. The Fenian prisoners were brought before the police magistrates at Dub? lin, on the 30th ultimo, including the editor and proprietor of the Irish People newspaper. There are forty one prisoners in alL Mr. Barry, Queen's Counsel,?ap? peared for the crown,?and made a? long speech. He said that within the past fortnight three thousand five hundred pounds had arrived from America, to be expended in revolu? tionizing Ireland, and by that day's mail the Government had intercepted a letter for one of the prisoners, named Dapper, containing a draft for four hundred and fifteen pounds on the house of Rothschilds. Several other' letters containing bills of ex? change had* been intercepted. The making of pikes had also been exten? sively carried on. One of tho prison? ers had made two thousand of*these murderous weapons. Numerous re? volvers and breast-plates had also been found in possession of the pri? soners connected with the Irish Peo? ple newspaper. He quoted an incen? diary paragraph, urging the employ? ment of force, from a number of that paper, which was about to be issued when seized. j Mr. Barry concluded his speech by j asserting that the Fenians were pow? erful both in Deland and America. He trusted that this affair would end forever such hopeless conspiracies. Evidence was then given against the prisoners, und serme of them were identified as connected with the sup? pressed Fenian organ. The investigation was still pending when the China sailed, and would probably last for several days, j Tho official Dublin Gazelle, of the 2i)th, contains a proclamation disarm? ing several baronies in Tipperary, Limerick and Waterford counties. THE FENIANS IN AMERICA. Tho London Times' correspondent in America represents the Fenians as mustering three hundred thousand men in America. RUMORED PLOT TO ASSASSINATE THE ARISTOCRACY AND COEKCE THE MILI. OWNERS. At a private examination of six of the Fenians at Dublin Castle, on the 30th ult., evidence was put in show? ing that the plot of the Fenians was o. the most sanguinary character. It was to wrrfte down tho nobility, the aristocracy and the land owners, and assassinate them all on the breaking out of the rebellion. The Duke of Leinster and others were specially named for assassination. The linen manufacturers and others were to be called on to give materiel to support the Fenian cause, under threats of extermination and confiscation of their property if they refused to do so. Tue evidence oi treason against the prisoners is said to be most complete. PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S RECONSTRUCTION POLICY. The Philadelphia correspondent of the London Times points out that President Johnson hus taken a de? cided conservative stand, and has thrown his protection over tho con? quered Confederate States. The Times has an ditorial on this test, and expresses thc belief that the lenient and generous policy of the President will,-within ?he next few months, enable the Southern States again to send representatives to Con? gress. BUSH FOR TJSrnSD STATES SECURITIES -EFFECT dF PREsSIUEET JOHNSON'S POLICY. Satterthwaite's circular, dated the evening of the 27th September, says: The amount of business dane in American securities lately has bt-j-u of a magnitude unprecedented since tho outbreak of the rebellion. The conciliatory nature o? Presi dent Johnson's speech to tar delegates

from the Southern States appears to have inspired general confidence in the speedy cordial re-union of the North and South, and all American securities currently dealt in in Lon? don have been in great demand. M ISOKLLL ANEO US. Rev. W. H. Channing has b?enlec 4uring in Liverpool on "the freedmen of America," whose future, he con? tended, promised most encouraging results. The weather continued intensely hot for the season in England, but there were indications of a change when the North American sailed. NEW YORK GOSSIP.-We clip the following items from the New York correspondent, of the Philadelphia Ledger: The* Embassy from Tunis are cer? tainly entitled to the sympathies qf the Humane Society. They are trot? ted about from morning till night to 1 the shops, and galleries, and saloons, and manufactories of.sharp people, who avail themselves of the opportu? nity to advertise their wares gratis. The American Institute got hold of them yesterday, and used them pretty well. The Ambassador, Gen. Hashem, 'has already been the recipient of in? numerable sewing machines., photo? graphs, pairs of patent leather boots, gutta percha walking sticks, and I am not sure I may not add a number of elliptic hoop skirts. If he keeps on accumulating this way, he will have enough of stock on hand ere long to set up a first class fancy store. The Aldermen, it is said, are medi? tating a demonstration in favor of the distinguished stranger. They are anx? ious to take him around and show him the institutions, after voting him the "freedom of the city in a gold snuff box." The experiences of the unhappy Turkish Ambassador, when in similar keeping a few years ago, naturally inspire solicitude as to the fato bf the Tunisians, under a like visitation, now. Judge Moncrief, in thc Superior Court, this morning, denied the ap? plication of Miss Laura Keene for an injunction to restrain tho performance of "Our American Cousin," at the Winter Garden. Depositions from Messrs. Wheatley, Stuart and other theatrical managers were read, to show tliut Miss Keene could have uo exclu? sive proprietary interest in the play, and in that showing the court declared its concurrence. A fashionable wedding was celebrat? ed at Grace Church, this afternoon, Rev Dr. Taylor officiating. The bride is Miss Mary King, grand? daughter- of the ex-President of Co? lumbia College, and the bridegroom Charles Clark, Esq., of the banking firm of Steadman, Ewell Co. Thc edifice was well filled "by the friends of the parties. Eitz Green Halleck was prc Bent. The new comic paper which was to be started on the ruins of the late Mrs. irrundu, will make its appearance about the 1st of November, lt is said that one of the English railroad capi? talists lias undertaken to supply the money and a good part of the brains. He must be a smart man, and a bold one, too, whoever he is. MR. DAVIS* NEW QUARTERS.-A correspondent, writing from Norfolk, says: From a gentleman calculated to know, I learn Jeff'. Davis is greatly pleased with his new quarters at For? tress Monroe. The building (Carroll Hali) in which he is confined, is situ? ated within the fort, and is divided off into mesa-rooms, a library, of? ficers' quarters, and a place for hold? ing courts martial. From Jeffs room a gallery extends to the ramparts, sc that when he walks abroad he need not encounter tho puze of spectators, It iz an improvement upon his late casemate quarters; still it must bo a tedious confinement to the once proud spirit of the occupant. CONTRADICTED.-The statement re? cently made that the President in? tends making a Southern tour was denied bellini on Saturday. He said positively that he liad no such inten? tion at present. No donbt this reported contradic? tion is authentic. With'.the constant pressure upon Iiis time which tho re? organization of the South imposes, it is difficult to see how he could bi; absent from the s? cents; hams, 25>.->(/? 26 cents; and sides, 2()%(d%i cents. Tho Baltimore Sun, of yesterday, quotes shoulders and sides at Zk)%(afi2}? cents-Richmond prices. The stock here is very ?light and the demand brisk.-Richmond Times. Gen. William J. Hardee is living, for the present, on the plantation of his wife, in Alabama. The Supreme Court of Oregon has deckled that all State taxes must be paid in gold.

I WASHINGTON, October 9.-The Tr dury Department has issued a circu providing that articles dutiable un take to the land of their inhenfence, ii there was one before them." From Washington. WASHINGTON, October 8.-I learn that the Treasury Department has decided against tho proposition to tax all cotton in the interior of the S/mth twenty per cent.' This tiix was said to have been suggested by "mi merous motors in Mississippi," and the object was to protect the Govern? ment and secure to it, if not the cot? ton itself, which came into possession by the surrender of the rebel armies, at least a partial equivalent therefor. General Sheridan basked up the sug? gestion as a good one, but tho Trea? sury Department has failed to look upon it in the same light, and it will not be carried out. On the contrary, I am informed that instructions have been issued to the recognized agents of the Go? vernment not to take a bale of cottor that had been impressed by the late rebel Gtjfcernm'ent unless it could bwned ii had received an equivalent therefoi from the Richmond authorities, lr. such case thc cotton would revert tc the United Stat?s as its lawful pro perty, but where no payment liai ever been made, the cotton, evei though it had been impressed, wa not to be touched. This action of the Treasury is i j highly favorable one for the South j and the most dishonest holders of th? j staple could use it to their advantage i were they disposed to do so, for ho\ are we to get the proof as to wha cotton was paid for by the rebel au tiiorities, and what was not? I There could be no greater erro than a belief that the next Congres will seriously entertain any proposi tion for thc payment of the rebe debt. I would not allude- to this bu that a prominent journal in NewYor has stated that such would be tho casi There could be nothing, howevei further from the truth. The strong cst partisan of the South in Congret would not dare to make such a prr his integrity, his finan O?AI it? J 1 os, his obliging disposition. He is .i reading and a thinking, mai:, and will dare to do what ho believes to be right. Upon t?ie grave and difficult questions feo come before our r.ozt L?gislature-ques? ta ms of ytato finance and taxation-of tue .status of t:io Freedman, his rights and his duties- -of the relation between debtors and creditors-ho is as competes ko decide as any man in the Stace. The District Will honor itself by honoring him, aud will coinr.ui; ;ts own intorostu by avHiliug itself ol his patriotism, large ex? perience, ripe judgment and independence of thought and action. A MASONIC APPEAL, FOB THE RE? NEW AE OF THE BoNba OF UNION.-The .six grand officers of the Grand Lodge of Free, and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania, and the Masonic juris? diction thereunto belonging,. viz: Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Senior and Junior Grand Warden, Grand Treasurer ?nd Grand Secre? tary, have addressed a letter to the Free Masons of the United States, urgently calling on them one and all, j to unite now, at the close of a long j and terrible contest, to carry out the principles of order, brotherly love and charity, to which the Order is consecrated. There is no truth in the reported story of what Gen. Grant said about Mexican affairs. Judge Catron denies that the General ever used tho lan? guage, of anything to the purport of that published in the Philadelphia despatch. Nobody, we presume, ever put the slightest faith in the statement. j9L-u.oti?oxaL Sales. By Durbec Walter.

Eagerly once her gracious ken Was turned upon the sons of men; But light the serious visage grew-; She look'd, and smiled, and saw them thro' Our petty sonia; our strutting wits, Our Iabor'd pony passion-fits Ahl may she scorn them still, till we Scorn them as bitterly as sh?. Yet, ok! that fate would let her sea One of some worthier race than we; One for whose sake she onto might prove How deeply she who scorns can love. His eyes be like the starry lights En? voice like sounds of summer nights Tn all his lovely mien let pierce Tho magic of the universe. And she to him will reach her hand, And gazing in his eyes will stand, And know her friend, and weep for glee, And cry, "Long, long Tve lookNLfor thee!" Then will she w?ep-with smiles, till then. Coldly she mocks the sons of men; Till thon her lovely eyes maintain Their gay, unwavering, deep disdain. The Detroit Free Press says the European capitalists who left Chicago on Tuesday morning, were taken O rev the intervening two hundred and forty miles to Toledo in less than seven hours, including forty minutes for lunch at Elkhart, and all of the several stops along the way. De? ducting stops, the entire distance was run at the rate of forty-seven miles an hour, while, as if to show what an "American locomotive could do over a superb road-bed, the last thirty-three miles. were completed in thirty-two minutes. "There's a difference in t!me. you know, between this country and Eu? rope," said a gentleman in New York, to a newly-arrived Irishman. "For instance, your friends in Cork are in bed and. fast asleep by this time, while we are enjoying ourseltes in the early evening." "That's always the way." exclaimed Pat, "Deland uiver got justice yit." New York Advertisements.

Oct 3 Imo TQ the Citizens of South Carolina. The termination of a sanguinary contest, which for the past fonryears has presented an impassable barrier to all social or com mercial intercourse between tho two great sections of our country, having at length bappiiy cleared away all obstacles to a re? moval of those relations which formerly bound us* together in a fraternal union, I taketh, earliest opportunity afforded me bysthis auspicious event, to greet my South .rn friends; and to solicit from them a rc Pl ralof llial extensive business connection kvhicb for quarter of a century has boon unmtarropted. 'gavc by the great public calamity to, which, I have adverted. It is scaroely necessary, on the threshold of a bosiness re-union, I ?bonld repeat the warning so often given to my friends-to j beware of all those spurious and deleteri i ons Compounds which, under the specious and falso titles of Imported Winos, Bran j diek", HoIland*Gin, Liquors, ka., hav* bees equally destructive to th? health of our citizens as prejudicial to Ute interests of th? legitimate importer. M?ny years of my past lifo hat? bess expended is an open and candid attempt to expose these wholesale frauds; np tim?nor' I expense has been spared to accomplish ibis salutary' purpose, and to place before my friends and the publie generally, at the lowest possible market price, and in such quantities .as might suit their convenient, a truly genuine imported article. Twenty-five years' bosiness transactions with the largest and most respectable ex? porting houses in France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpassed facilities for supplying our' home market with Wines, Liquors and Liquores of the best and most approved brands in Europe, in addition to my own distillery in Holland for the manu? facture of the "Schiedam Schnapps." Th? latter, so long tested and approved by the medical faculties of The United States, West Indies and South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a wholesome, pleasant and perfectly safe beverage in all climates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cupidity of the home manufac? turers and. venders of a spurious article under the same name. I trust that I have, after much toil and expense, surrounded all my importations with safeguards and directions which,'with ordinary circumspection, will insure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to all my customers. I would, however, recommend, in all cases where it is possible, that orders be^ sent direct to my Depot. '22 beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made of my accredited agents.. In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, &c, in wood, I have a consider? able supply of old tried foreign Wines, em? bracing vintages of many past years, bot? tled up before the commencement of the war, which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially call the attention of my Southern customers to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or calling personally at the Depot, in order to insure the fulfillment of their favors from the pre? sent large and well selected assortment.
