George N. Sanders Appeals for Sympathy.
The secessionists in Montreal have been
looking up A greet excitement over An Al
leged Attempt to kidnap that worthless ad
venturer and scoundrel, George N. San
ders, And carrying him to the United States.
The whole story of the alleged attempt is
rehearsed with the greatest particularity of
detau. And a correspondent of the New
York Herald sent a sonsational letter to
lis paper describing the u nefarious plot. '
.But it turns out, as the telegraph to-night
informs us, that the whole affair is an in
T.xttioB of the fertile brain of Sanders, And
wai originated for the sake of raiting a
little sympathy with the resident seces
sion aits. That whole game is blocked now,
Mr. banders. The Confederacy is dead,
stnd the Canadian gentlemen who knelt At
Its feet while it was a power, have no tears
to shel over its grave. Yon were once A
plenipotentiary, George, now yoa Are, in
Canadian eyes, a bore end A nuisance.
They are lelling a good Joke of Mr.
Gladstone, to the effect that he went to
IiAmbeth the other day to make a speech at
tite Workingmen's exhibition. The door
keeper did not know him, end demanded
five shillings for admission. "Five ehU
XiagA,1' smid Mr. Gladstone, "is not that
more than your usual fce for Admission 7"
Ob ym," said the door-keeper: "but the
Chancellor of the Exchequer is to speak
to day, and so we have raised the price."
It said Mr? Gladstone paid the money, and

served to be exposed and exploded, it is
Msjor General B. P. Butler. "We have no

ry career, which has been, from beginning
to end, a complete and utter failure, but
only desire totcall attention to most Arbi
trary And oppressive proceeding brought
to light by the Committee oa the Conduct
of the War. It is in reference to his treat
ment of Chaplain H. N. Hudson, well-
known among literary men as a Shake
sperean scholar and commentator, who waa
imprisoned by Buttler on trivial pretexts,
because the former had written some criti
cisms on Butler's Petersburg fiasco. The
case is only a specimen instance of Butler's
arbitrary .outrages on personAl liberty.
We extract Jrom the testimony given by
General Grant, on the. II th iof February,
before the Congressional Committee on the
Conduct of the Wat-.
"Q. Do yon know Anything About Chan-
Iain Hudson ?.
' A. 1 had that case investigated, but I
cannot give the exact result ot the investi
gation. The man was confined for flftv

near General Eulier's headquarters, I un
derstandput in with deserters and all
Berts of prisoners. The investigation shows
that h. was there that length of time with
out charges and without trial, though dur
ing a good part of the time he waa th-m
General Butler bad a co-trt-martial sitting
at his headquarters, and eould have tried
him. , . ....
"By the Chairman : '
Hi. How long ago was that I ?
"A, He was confined thorn during tha
fall, in the months of Septomber, October
and November. He was released while
Oeneral Butler was in New York City, at
the timeoi the election. He was released
on the th of November, I think. .
i ' y. When did the case come to your
knowledge f-
"A. 1 received a letter from a ladv here
in this city telling me about the ease. I
immediately ordered Chaplain Hudson to
report to rue, ana tben 1 had bis case in

time in confinement without mv know).

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.
Stocks are dull but steady in price. The

higher throughout for railroad stocks. At

for stocks generally, with considerable ex
citement on North-wettern shares. Gov
ernments are strong but quiet State bonds
ere firmer, with som Activity. The princi
ple business in miscellaneous stocks is in
Canton and Quicksilver. The gold spec
ulation is very dull. The money market

The Herald's Montreal correspondent
aasr tTac-ob TmTOiipeun, the rebel agent in
Canada, lately abandoned his friends and
associates, taking all that' remained of the
rebel BDoils. and his fellow adventurers
are avenging themselves by wishing that
the United States government may catch
and hang him.
FREEDMEN'S BUREAU.
The Herald's Washington special S"ys
that among the latest reports from South
ern agencies of the Freedmen's Bureau is
from the Commissioner at Selma, Ala. The
writer describes the situation in Alabama
as somewhat unpromising for anything
more than the production of crops neces
sary for home consumption, and says the
country fcAS been in the trail of so many
raids during the war that the plantations
are exceedingly destitute of slock or im
plements. The Commissioner refuses to
authorize any contract with negroes that
does not call for proper .compensation, un
less he has positive assurance that the
planter proponing employment hta noth
ing to pay with, and it is obvious the ne
groes willdo well if they Are insured support
for a year. He Also remarks that maki ng all
allowance for the captiousness of their for
mer masters. It is a fact that as yet the
labor of negroes ii not what it should be.
It is characterized as fitful end deficient.
Believed of a great xrl of the terrors of
the lash, the negroes have not come under
a sufficient power of motive to supply its
place. They are desirous of hving mat
ters in their own hands And in their owe
way, nor do they have any adequate appre
ciation of the nature of their contracts and
are ooaiinually leaving most advantageons
nnaiLiona. On this subiect the writer is
sanguine that affairs ii this regard will
mend with time aad tue exercise of disci
pline. The planters of the vicinity ere
represented U 'have -take a temporal view
of the situation and are disposed to fall in
with the regim. i.
FROM TEXAS.
The Tribune's correspondent At Houston,
Texas, says thAt for two weeks previous to
the surrender of the rebel troops in that
quarter, the troops had become entiiely un
manageable and knowing that a surren
der was inevitable they hastened to dis
band and wetum to ther homes.
The Confederate money which had never
been in circulation as currency in tnis
section of the State, having no' become
useless even as a commodity, And as long
ArrreArs of pAy being due,, their troops
very naturally laid hold pf all the Govern
ment property lhey could Jay their hands
on to ccmpeiieate themselves. Hules
wagons, cotton, stationery, sugar And other
s applies were seized And carried o.
Quartermaster'a stores were broken open
and the contents parceled out among those
present. In some instances personal pro
perty was not respected.
A Mexican tram of eighty wagons was
lately set upon near Texana and plundered
of a thousAnd dollsrs worth of goods. Such
arlic'ies as could not be carried away were
destroyed and scattered over the prairie,
on the Alleged ground that it was the
property of sp nculators who had been rob
bing the country during the pAst four
vnara. "

can frontier was taken possession of for

their headquarters at San Antoin Below,
end will perhaps occupy All that part of
TexAA north And east of that point, And
stretching westward until they connect
with those of the 13th Corps lying on and
neAT the Upper Rio Grande.' -It
is evident that there will be consider
able trouble ia establishing order through
out Texas. Things are yet comparatively
quiet for the radical changes made in the
'social states made by the rebellion, and its
results have not yet taken effect in this re-'
gion, except on the- seaport towns and in
the actual presence ef the military powers.
- Emancipation has fully dawned on many
plantations. Labor goes on on the old
system, although the negroes are aware
that some change has taken place, And de
not fully understand their situation.
In Texas the spirit of rebellion has not
been thoroughly broken by the hudships

Are either disposed to put on Airs or to de

them. Many officers are favoring the
planters and wealthy men generally, and
ignoring tha rights of the lower classes.
THE FRIGATE CONGRESS.
FORTRESS MONROE, August 3.
The frigate Congress was raised to-dsy.
At eight A. M. pumps were set to work
At ten o'clock the frigate commenced to
raise, and at noon about six feet of her hull
was above water. She was deeply embed
ded in sand, and could not be removed
from its bank until high water, which will
be about six o'clock this evening. Pomps
in the meantime are kept at work, which
will easily keep her free from water. Mr.
Brown, one of cor tractors, immediately
telegraphed to Norfolk and Old Point for
steam power to tow the Congress on dry
dock? At the Got port' Navy Yard, And he
now draws nineteen feet of water.
SUTLER DONE FOR.

of tbe assassins, reports that on the trip Dr.
Madd acknowledged to Captain Budd,
General Dodd, and others, that he knew
Booth when he came to his house on the
morning after the assassination, but was
afraid to tell of his having been there, fear
ing the life of himself and family would be
endangered thereby. He knew tbat Booth
would never be taken alive. He also ac
knowledged that he had been acquainted
with Booth for some time, and that he was
with Booth at the Natioral Hotel on the
evening referied to by Weichman ; that he
met Booth on the street and Booth said he
wanted him to introduce him to John Sur
rati. They started up Seventh street on i
their way to Mrs. Surratt's house, and on
their way they met John Surratt and
Weichman and returned to Booth s room
at the National Hotel, where he and Sur
ratt had some conversation of a private
character. He said that the Military Com
mission in his case had done their duly, and
as iar as they were concerned the sentence
in his case was just; but some witnesses
had sworn falsely and murderously.

done its duty, but insisted that he was only
implicated in the pL-t to capture tbe Presi
dent, Arnold also said he was A party to
the plot to capture the President only, and
that he believed the assassination was got
ten up by Booth only A few hours before

Newspaper paragraphs cause this by care
lees statements that pardons have been

Notwithstanding the various stories set
afloat in regard to the ill-treatment of Jeff.
Davis, it is but just to tha authorities to
state positively that he is treated with the
consideration due a noted prisoner of state
by tha commandant at Fortress Monroe.
No officer has been or is stationed in his
cell. He is allowed to take frequent walks
on the ramparts and is permitted to chocf a
his own food. Stories that his cell is guard
ed by a score or more ot bayonets, and io
bis promenades he is attended by a ba'.lnl- ,
lion of soldiers, and that his diet is limited

THE HUBBARD COAL BANK
ACCIDENT.
Details of the Rescue of the Imprisoned
Miners.
[From the Mahoning Courier, August 2d.]
On Wednesday evening last, about half
past four o'clock, the water being deemed
sufficiently low ia the mine, it was entered
by several miners who made their way,
through water almost np to their necks, to
the room where the two men, Terrid and
Bowen, were, at tha di ill-hole. They were
then conducted to the mouth of the pit and .
one of them was strong enough to walk out
alone. Attention was then turned to the
brothers Miller, and several attempts were
made to reach them, but without success.
It was the prevailing opinion that they
were dead, and this led some that had beeu
working faithfully to give up hopes of
their recovery alive, and consequently,
efforts in behalf of the unfo'tun&te men 1
began to abate. However, About eleven
o'clock An engine with several cars arrived
from loungstown, and a coupled railroad .
men, Mr. James Murray, foreman of the
railroad yard, and the conductor of the
Hubbard Branch railroad, Mr. U. iSarner.
resolved on finding Item, dead or alive.
in company with a lad as guide, wbr,
when the flood came into the mine, was
driving a mule team, cut the tra
ces, and escaped with them, they entered,
and were soon making their way, neck
deep in water, dragging a small boat, made
for the purpose, after them. Their pro
gress was alow, but in time they reached a
