DOMESTIC NEWS. 
Matters at Washington. 
The Secretary of the Interior will transmit by 
the Pacific steamer of the 5th of August, $261,000 
to Oregon and Washington, to satisfy recently 
audited claims on account of expenses for restoring 
and maintaining peaceable and more friendly rela¬ 
tions with the Indian tribes. Owing to the inade¬ 
quate number of Indian agents, and considering 
the wide extent of country over which the Indians 
are scattered, it has been found impossible in every 
case to carry out all treaty obligations in time to 
impress the Indians favorably by an exhibition of 
our good faith and prevent dissatisfaction arising 
from unfulfilled pledges. The present Commis¬ 
sioner of Indian Affairs, will, it is believed, recom¬ 
mend to the consideration of the next Congress, 
such measures as will lead to the carrying into ef¬ 
fect of all our treaty obligations. 
The Navy Department Las received dates as late 
as the 28th of May, from our vessels on the Brazil 
station. All of them were in the river La Plata, 
off Buenos Ayres, and in view of the unsettled 
condition of affairs, it was deemed advisable to 
keep them there. 
The Commissioner of Pensions has issued a cir¬ 
cular, in which he directs the invalid Pensioners of 
the army and navy who are subject to biennial ex¬ 
amination to present, with the usual vouchers, on 
the 4th of September and 1st of January next, re¬ 
spectively, the certificates as to their disabilities. 
The operation of the act of Congress of the 8d of 
March, 1859, virtually suspends the semi-annual 
payments of invalid pensions at the commence¬ 
ment of each biennial period, until the certificate of 
two physicians or surgeons have been presented. 
The news of the European peace prospects pro¬ 
duced much gratification in the government, official 
and diplomatic circles. 
Advices from Utah to June 24th, states that 
Judge Eckles had returned to the territory and re¬ 
organized the federal courts. The district courts 
have been established and vigorous efforts were to 
he made to hold these courts and secure the prison 
ers without the assistance of the army. 
Personal and Political. 
Col. Jefferson Davis is said to be engineering 
the Presidential prospects of Gen. Pierce, who is 
reported to be in the race for Charleston. 
Judge Gillis, of Pa., has been appointed by 
the President, agent to the Pawnees, with a view 
to arrange matters so as to prevent future difficul 
ties. 
M. La Mountain is at Watertown, engaged in 
re-constructing his balloon, the Atlantic, for an 
ascension from that place on the 11th of August. 
Parties from New York are there, and, it is said, 
they propose to place in his hands any amount, not 
to exceed $20,000, for the immediate construction 
of a new balloon for a trans-Atlantic voyage this 
season. 
Tiie total vote polled for Delegates to the present 
Constitutional Convention in Kansas was 13,356, 
divided as followsRepublican, 7,415; Demo¬ 
cratic, 5,939,— Republican majority, 1,486. The 
vote polled on the celebrated Lecompton Constitu¬ 
tion, which was the largest ever given, up to that 
time, in the Territory, was 6,759. Increase since 
that time, 6,561. 
The Bill of Rights reported to the Kansas Con¬ 
stitutional Convention, numbers twenty-three sec¬ 
tions. It sets out with the declaration that all 
political power is inherent to the people; prohibits 
slavery in the State; proclaims religious tolera¬ 
tion ; defends the soundness of the writ of habeas 
corpus ; protects the freedom of legislative debate; 
forbids the transportation from the State of any 
party for any offence committed within the State 
limits; prohibits imprisonment for debt; insures 
to naturalized citizens the full privileges accorded 
to natives; and declares that no citizen of the State 
shall be held to appear before the Supreme Court 
of the United States on an appeal from the Supreme 
Court of the State, but that when appeals are taken 
on questions of inter-State law, they shall only be 
through or from fhe District Courts of the United 
States. 
The correspondent of the New York Times, 
gives a summary of the report received by the Con¬ 
vention in reference to the amount of damages 
inflicted during the period of the disturbances in 
the Territory. The whole amount of losses, for 
which compensation is claimed, was $676,000. 
New3 Paragraphs. 
The following statement is probably without a 
parallelThe Rev. Win. Williams was for fifty- 
six years pastor in Northampton, Mass., his son 
Solomon was fifty-four years pastor in Lebanon— 
Eiipbalet, the son of Solomon, was for more than 
fifty years pastor in East Hartford—and Solomon, 
the son of Eiipbalet, preached in Northampton for 
upwards of fifty years! Here are father, son, 
grandson and great grandson, each pastor for up¬ 
wards of fifty years of their respective churches, 
and two of them of the same church. 
An ingenious Scotchman has trained a couple of 
mice to turn a small reel for twisting twine. The 
laborers run about ten miles a day, and reel from 
108 to 120 threads. A half-penny’s worth of oat¬ 
meal lasts a mouse five weeks, and the clear annual 
profit of each animal per year is computed at six 
shillings. This beats the “industrious fleas.” 
The Washington correspondent of the Tribune 
says “ no instructions have yet been given to Post¬ 
masters regarding the pay of themselves and their 
clerks. If they appropriate from the receipts of 
their respective offices, as heretofore, their accounts 
cannot be audited without violation of law, in the 
absence of an appropriation.” 
It is rather a curious fact that the late victories 
in Italy did not affect the French funds so much, 
as the change in the English ministry. The victory 
at Magenta, the occupation of Milan, and the bril 
liant action at Melegnano did not start the Paris 
three per cents., but the defeat of the Derby Minis 
try sent them right up. This shows that com 
mercial Europe fully believed the Tory Ministry of 
the Earl of Derby were sympathizing with Austria. 
A party of colored men and Germans, who had 
almost undermined a store in Philadelphia while 
digging for an iron pot filled with countless treas 
ure, which, according to a dream had by a female 
friend, was buried there, -were arrested Monday, 
11th inst., and, with their divining rods and other 
conjuring implements, locked up in the station 
house on a complaint for trespass. 
One of the best photographers in Europe took a 
bank note for 5,000 francs, on the Bank of France, 
and photographed one so much like it that the 
Bank’s judges, the photographer himself, and in 
fact all who have seen the two, are unable to dis 
tinguish “which from tother.” The Bank con 
siders such success rather dangerous. 
The oldest preacher in Philadelphia is Rev. Geo 
Chandler, pastor of a Presbyterian Church, who 
in the course of the forty-six years of his ministry, 
has married 3,166 couples, and performed funeral 
services over the remains of 5,000 persons. 
The Richmond Enquirer says that during the 
hot weather the ladies of that city do all their 
shopping in carriages, and require the dry goods 
clerks and salesmen to exhibit their goods at the 
carriage doors, thereby saving to themselves the 
exertion of alighting and entering the stores, 
pronounces this conduct of the ladies barbarous, 
This is the general custom of shopping in Cuba 
and other tropical cities. 
Messrs. King, Allen and Turenue are making 
arrangements for a balloon race, to come off the 
first week in August, at Providence, New'Beuford 
or Hartford. They will ascend in three separate 
balloons, and see, first, who can attain the highest 
altitude; next, who can travel the greatest dis 
tance without alighting. What next? 
Since July 4th it has been unlawful for any per 
son to pass or receive in the State of Arkansas, any 
bank bill of less denomination than ten dollars. 
After the 4th of July, 1860, no bill of a less denom¬ 
ination than twenty dollars can be kept or put in 
circulation. 
The San Francisco Directory for 1859, just pub¬ 
lished, shows the population of that city to be 78,- 
083, of which 73,32S are whites, 3,150 Chinese, and 
1,605 colored. 
The importations at New York of foreign Dry 
Goods, intended for the fall trade, during the week, 
have been quite heavy, the value of fhe total en 
tries at the Custom House having been $4,988,720, 
against $1,679,300 same week last year, and $4,- 
378,697 same week in 1857. The entries since Jan 
1st have been $57,572,956, against $27,189,633 same 
time in 1858, and $59,946,512 same time in 1857. 
The Revolutionists of South America. —A dis¬ 
patch from New Orleans says that the State of 
Tamaulipas desires an American force of 3,000 men 
to aid them in the prosecution of the war. Some 
Americans had already arrived at Tampico to aid 
the Liberals. Gen. Demollary had arrived at Tam¬ 
pico. Garcia was at Vera Cruz. 
Woman’s Rights in Kansas. —In the Kansas 
Constitutional Convention, the yeas and nays were 
called on the question whether women should have 
the same control and management of school mat¬ 
ters as men—that in all school elections, and the 
exercises of all the duties of school officers, no dis¬ 
tinction should be made between them. The clos¬ 
ing vote that settled this point stood 28 for to 21 
against. 
Mormonism Declining. — A Salt Lake corres¬ 
pondent notices the remarkable fact that the insti¬ 
tution of polygamy is becoming unpopular among 
the Mormons since the accession of the recent 
large emigration from the States; and that Brig¬ 
ham Young is beset with applications for bills of 
divorce. In consequence of this state of affairs, 
the “ Prophet ” has issued orders to suspend the 
ceremony of “ sealing.” 
Shooting Robins. —Henry Ward Beecher says:— 
A man that would shoot a robin, excejit in the 
fall, when in flocks they are gathered together to 
caravan the air in their long pilgrimage to south¬ 
ern glades and forests, and then really and con¬ 
scientiously for food, has in him the blood of a 
cannibal, and would, if born in Otaheite, have eaten 
ministers, and digested them too.” 
Geological Formation of Pike’s Peak.—A n 
intelligent correspondent of the New York Post, 
writing from Pike’s Peak, says, it is certain that 
the geology of the region furnishes an argument 
hostile to its mineral richness. Its prevalent 
structure is limestone, the latest formation and the 
parent of the baser metals. Pike’s Peak is a mass 
of gypsum, and the mountain edges are but sparse¬ 
ly veined with that primitive quartz which is the 
mother of gold and gems. 
From the Pacific Side. 
By the steamship W. II. Webb, and two arrivals 
overland, we have the following intelligence: 
On the 25th ult., forty-three convicts escaped 
from the State Prison. The prisoners escaped by 
overpowering the guard. Twelve were re-captured, 
and eight shot in the bushes in endeavoring to 
escape arrest. 
The Italians in San Francisco had raised $5,000 
to send to King Victor Emanuel, for the benefit of 
his needy subjects. 
Business was depressed at San Francisco, and 
there had been two large failures. The prices of 
leading goods were tending downward. Money 
market easy. Mining news good. The grain har¬ 
vest promises to be abundant. 
The election of members of Congress is fixed for 
the 2d of July. 
The weather was intensely hot throughout Cali¬ 
fornia, parching vegetation. Some parts of the 
country looked as though they had been burned. 
The county of Santa Barbara had been visited by 
the terrible sirocco, forcing the people to shut 
themselves in doors, killing animals, and literally 
roasting the fruit on the trees. This occurred on 
the 17th ult. 
The tow'n of Lehama had been destroyed by fire. 
Loss estimated at $100,000. 
The news from Mexico is interesting. General 
Marquesa had robbed the conducta from Guana 
juato to San Bias of $600,000. A conspiracy had 
been discovered in fhe city of Mexico to place 
Marquesa in power, who subsequently declined in 
favor of Santa Anna at Guadalajara. Miramon 
had made a complete change in his Cabinet on 
account of a cliaqge in his policy, viz:—giving 
liberty to the press' and amnesty for political 
offences, and a partial confiscation of the church 
property. The church had declared for Marquesa, 
who was at Gaudaljara with 2,000 men. 
FOREIGN NEWS. 
The Paris Mot'S 
nation of the circuii 
between France ad 
powers exchanged 
During the week two steamers,—the Africa and 
the New Briton, — have arrived, each of which has 
brought very important intelligence from Europe, 
The first gives some details concerning an Armis¬ 
tice between the contending forces of France, Sar¬ 
dinia and Austria; the latter an account of the 
interview between the Emperors of France and 
Austria, and the signing of a Treaty of Peace. 
The following is the telegram from Napoleon to the 
Empress, announcing the fact: 
Vai.legio, 11. — Peace is signed between the 
Emperor of Austria and myself. 
The Conditions of Peace are : — The Italian 
Covfederation under the honorary Presidency of the 
Pope, 
The Emperor of Austria concedes his rights in 
Lombardy to the Etyeror of the French, who trans¬ 
fers them to the King of Sardinia. 
The Emperor of Austria preserves Venice, but it 
will form an integral part of the Italian Confede¬ 
ration. _ 
gives the following expla- 
|inces attending the armistice 
ustria. The great neutral 
nmunications with the object 
of offering their mediation to the belligerents, 
whose first act was to be an armistice, but the 
endeavor to bring about this result was not suc¬ 
cessful until some days ago, when the French fleet 
was about to begin hostilities against Venice, and 
a new conflict before Yerona was imminent. The 
Emperor of France, faithful to his sentiments of 
moderation, and anxious to prevent the useless 
effusion of blood, did not hesitate to assure himself 
whether the disposition of the Emperor of Austria 
w*as conformable to his own. It was a sacred duty 
for the two Emperors immediately to suspend hos¬ 
tilities which mediation would render objectless. 
The Emperor having shown similar intentions, the 
armistice was concluded. 
The two Emperors had an interview at Villa 
Franca on the morning of the 11th. The Emperor 
of Austria was accompanied by Generals Hess, 
Gramme, Kellmer, Kelloustein, Romnig, Ciriletty 
and others of his Staff. 
The Emperor Napoleon has issued the following 
order of the day: 
Vallegio, July 10.— Soldiers: — An armistice 
was concluded on the 8th inst., between the bel¬ 
ligerent parties, to extend to the 15th of August. 
This truce will permit you to rest after your 
glorious labors, and to recover, if necessary, new 
strength to conclude the work which you have so 
gloriously inaugurated. I am about to return to 
Paris, and shall leave the provisional command of 
the army to Marshal Yalliant; but as soon as the 
hour of combat shall have struck you will see me 
again in your midst to partake of your dangers. 
The Times Vienna correspondent says, that it 
was believed there that the British Government 
had brought about the armistice. Another author¬ 
ity says that the Prince Regent of Prussia took the 
initiatory in suggesting the armistice. The Vienna 
Gazette says that an autograph letter addressed by 
the Emperor Napoleon to the Emperor of Austria, 
led to the negotiations, the result of which was a 
five weeks’ armistice. A Yerona telegraph dis¬ 
patch says that the late armistice was concluded 
after repeated requests from the French, and after 
their consent had been obtained to all the condi¬ 
tions asked by Austria. 
The London Daily News affirms that the just 
hope and expectations of Italy are deceived. It 
adds, history will call the Emperor to a strict 
account for having waged war on false pretenses 
and signed a mock and selfish peace—a peace that 
leaves Austria impregnable in Northern Italy; 
that connects Central Italy to the patronage of the 
Pope, and to constant menace of military interven¬ 
tion on the part of the Pope’s patrols, and that takes 
no account of the welfare of the people, and substi¬ 
tutes for national independence a Confederation 
under the lock and key of Austrian garrisons. The 
Emperor of France has sown the seeds of future 
wars, and the closer we examine the pretended 
pacification the more futile and iniquitous it 
appears. 
The Morning Post contends that the soul of the 
treaty agreed upon is the nationality guaranteed 
under every variety of local government in a con¬ 
federation of the Italian States. The Emperor of 
Austria is to be King of Venetia, solely as an integ 
ral member of the Confederation. He will rule 
less than 3,000,000 Italians, and will be controlled 
by a Confederation ruling not less than 26,000,000, 
The Pope is shorn virtually of his temporal suprem 
acy. He is deprived of the substance, but keeps 
the shadow.' 
Naples. —Two hundred soldiers, fifty of whom 
are Swiss, revolted on the 7th at Naples, and left 
Fort Carmise for the purpose of rousing other 
troops to revolt, in which they failed. On arriving 
at Champ De Mars all the Swiss and native troops 
who remained faithful, met them with a discharge 
of artillery, and forty insurgents were killed and 
disabled. 
Turkey'.— The Turkish steamers Silistria and 
Kars are reported lost. The former with 350 pas¬ 
sengers for Constantinople, 77 of whom perished 
The Turkish crew assassinated and plundered the 
Christians during the salvage. The Karr had 300 
passengers from Constantinople, and has Dot been 
heard of. The Persians were said to be actively 
preparing in contemplation of war with Turkey. 
India and China. —The Calcutta mails of June 
3d, and Hong Kong of May 21st, had reached Eng¬ 
land. The Indian Government has decided to per¬ 
mit all European troops who might desire it, to 
receive their discharge and a free passage to Great 
Britain, thus removing all grounds of complaint. 
It was expected that thousands would avail them¬ 
selves of the offer. The rebel force was gradually 
diminishing. 
Commercial -- Breadstuff's. — RichardsoD, Spence & 
Co. quote breadstuff's tending downward. Flour was 
offered at higher prices, but sales quite unimportant.— 
The quotations are 10s6d@13s6. The prices of wheat 
are easier, but without any decided change. Western 
red was quoted at 7s6d@9s3d; Southern white 9s©10s. 
All quotations of eorn had declined slightly. Mixed 
5sl0@6s3d ; yellow 5sl0d(cb6Sd8 ; white 7s@7s9d. Pro¬ 
visions. —Pork is heavy, with but little inquiry. 
Clippings from Foreign Journals. 
The American Minister at Turin is reported by 
correspondents to have been “ hid,” or as “ hiding 
himself” ever since the armies began passing thro’ 
there for the war. 
Scotch journals are trying to make out that 
Garibaldi is a Caledonian. His father, they say, 
was a shoemaker at the Attld Big o’ Stirling, and 
his name was Garrow. His son’s Christian name 
was Baldie — a common Christian name in some 
districts of Scotland. In consequence of some 
freak or other, the son went to Italy; and the na¬ 
tives of that sunny clime, being unable to pro¬ 
nounce the names of Baldie Garrow, transposed 
them into the more mellifluous Garibaldi. 
A German, arrested as a spy while the allies 
were at Brescia, pretended to a council of officers 
who were examining him, to be a merchant of Mi¬ 
lan and to have lost his papers. “ Hah,” said a 
French Colonel, suddenly, “come closer; I can’t 
hear you.” The accused obeyed. “ Now,” said 
the Colonel, “ in doing that you stepped off finely 
with your left foot—arm to the body by instinct— 
little finger on the stripe of the pantaloon. You 
are an excellently drilled old soldier, my friend.” 
The man admitted it. 
A.y.oxG the obituary notices in the Leeds Intelli¬ 
gencer is the following:—“ On the 20tli inst., aged 
45, Mr. Peter Matterson, of Low Dunsford, near 
Boroughbridge. He and his ancestry have been 
the owners and occupiers of the farm on which he 
died for more than eight hundred years. The farm 
was not entailed, and the owner has always been 
a Matterson, without adoption.” 
The Italian editors are heard of now-a-days. — 
The morning after the French occupation of Milan 
several journals that had been suppressed by the 
Austrian government, re-appeared. One had been 
suppressed five years, and in the last number had 
promised the “ conclusion” of a story in the next. 
True to promise, the next, at the end of five years, 
took up the story where it had been left off, and 
concluded it. 
Oscar, the King of Sweden and Norway, whose 
death is announced in recent foreign arrivals, was 
a son of the celebrated Bernadotte, alternately Na¬ 
poleon’s friend, rival and opponent. He married 
a daughter of Eugene Beauharnais, succeeded to 
his father’s throne in 1844, and was 58 years of age. 
His administration has been marked by a fair de¬ 
gree of liberality and reform. He will be succeed¬ 
ed by his son, who married a Dutch Princess a few 
years ago, and will take the title of Charles XV. 
A Delicate Hint. —It will be remembered that 
Marshall Ilaynau, the brute at whose command in¬ 
nocent women were stripped naked and whipped 
by the Austrian soldiers, visited England six or 
seven years since, not long after the committal of 
the atrocious deed. When he visited the immense 
brewery of Barclay, Perkins & Co., in London, the 
workmen suddenly closed around Ilaynau, flogged 
him terribly, and would undoubtedly have killed 
him had he not been suddenly hurried off by some 
bystanders. Field Marshal Urban, another Aus¬ 
trian officer, has been endeavoring to equal, if not 
surpass, the illustrious Haynau in deeds of infamy. 
As soon as the workmen who had administered 
justice to the latter heard of the former’s villainy, 
they published the following card in the London 
papers, as a hint of what he might expect did he 
come in their neighborhood: 
‘A Card. — The workmen in the employ of 
Messrs. Barclay, Perkins & Co., present their most 
earnest compliments to Lieutenant Field Marshal 
Urban, and entreat, should he favor London with 
his presence after the war, that they may be hon¬ 
ored with a call. Marshal Haynau, it will be in 
Marshal Urban’s recollection, took great interest 
in the process of the brewery, and the workmen 
will be delighted to renew the attentions which 
made that celebrated officer’s visit an European 
event.” 
Our Army Men Sent Back from the Seat of 
War. —The European goverments are not disposed 
to communicate the secrets of their military sci¬ 
ence and improvement in weapons of war to the 
Yankees. We learn from the Richmond Enquirer 
of the 13th, that private letters from the continent 
of Europe intimate that the American officers who 
had been permitted by the United States to go to 
the seat of war in order to gain military insight 
into war tactics by observation of the contending 
powers, have been refused passports to travel 
thither. They consequently returned to England 
to await further diplomatic consideration of the 
matter and causes of objection.
