Ihe §pt*\\* fwei WKDNEBDA V, SEPTEMBER J27, ISM WKSTERN SAINTS ON A SPUES. The Common Council of Suiut Louis Is on a visit to tlie Northern cities. The ostensible object of the excursionists is to look into the municipal workings tit ! New York, Pbilt*xtel{*hhi and KoKton, but the real purpose of the purty is :i ,-pree at the public expense. The Phila delphia Teleyraph gives an elaborate ■ account of the Saints, going no far as to , employ wood-cut illustrations of how tlie junketers appeared. We quote a • sentence or two: " On the arrival of the Saints at West Philadelphia, they were met by the hos pitallers of the city anil escorted to the (xirard House. In crossing the Market ; .Street Bridge, they were shown one of the antiquities of the city, the Chestnut Street llridge, as it was before the Hood, and the means taken to prevent it from i going to decay in this trying climate. "At the tiirard House they were , shown the private "gasometer" ofthe concern, with which the guests are sup plied, like Senator Wall, of New Jersey, when a speech from the balcony to tlie streets is necessary. ■ "The Saints we're then taken to that 'Cradle of Liberty,' Independence Hall, and shown the way the Cradle is rooked ,by the nurse in attendance, and how ef fectively liberty is put to sleep within it; the trees in front, with 'suckers' all around the trmiks, showingagreat want of the pruuing-kiiife; the kind and hu mane provision for the feeding of the pilgrims to this Shrine by the extensive coffee stand in the entrance, the pave ment of which was once trod by a Wash ington and a Franklin, and by our revo lutionary mothers in their 'patterns,' and now by the loyal and substantial Mrs. Patten herself. 1 n the rear of the hall are tbe trees, though not fruit trees, yet as fruitful of subjects for the Coun sellors every spring and summer, iv the matter Of debate, as the children are iv green apple time among the mothers, and for the same cause. "N. il— The Saints are notified that the monstrous " toadstools " seen from the Hall dour, down the main avenue, are not of nature's growth, but were put there by the city carpenter, and are sometimes used as seats by persons who are very weary, and want to rest them selves, after the manner of a treadmill, by getting tired in another position. "The Saints were taken up-stairstolhe lighting grounds of the Counsellors, the location of the King, the seat of the ' referee,' and the spot where the Tenth Ward 'chicken' went to 'grass' in the little'mill' last summer, and here they discoursed enthusiastically of 'Fights' to come.'

Governor Bross, of Illinois, and Mr: Bowles, editor of tlie Springfield En publican, arrived in New York ; from Aspinwall, after completing their tour of investigation through the mines, valleys, gorges, forests and labyrinths of the Pacific States and Territories. The explorers have had a romantic time of it —discussing bigamism with Brigliam Young, and saw his forty wives, look ing pretty well, at a theatre; saw cata racts half a mile high in the Yo Semite valley; crossed and recrossed the Sierra Nevada mountains three times, passing through eternal snows, above the hu man family ; saw a cargo of gold dust on the Columbia river from Idaho for San Francisco, worth $90,000; saw one ton of silver bricks, Interspersed with gold, in one pile in Nevada; visiting her Majesty's folks in Vancouver's Island, and made innumerable speeches during the prolonged ovation which marked their progress overland through California. The main object of the visit of Mr. Colfax and his companions was to ascer tain If the resources and status of the country demanded the speedy construc tion of the Pacific Railroad. Governor Bross, with xvhom our reporter convers ed, is decided in his conviction that the early completion of the work is loudly demanded, and his opinions are shared by the entire party. The development of wealth to the country attendant on this event, it is asserted, will be of the most astonishing character. The Pa cific end of the road is being pushed With marked energy and success over tbe east side of the Sierra Nevadas. The ridge, which isseveu thousand feet liisrh, will soon be worked through, and the rest of the road is asserted to be as easy of construction as a road on the New York Central line. It was in the middle of May that (lie party started from Chicago, four months being thus passed in the explorations. Mr. Richardson, of Chicago, who ac companied tlie party, remained in Ida ho. The other gentlemen, at present stopping at the St. Nicholas, will return to their homes in the course of a week. — *>**>*> An Extraordinary StoryokTrka sures Discovered in Mount Cknis Tunnel.—The New York World has an extraordinary story rivaling the i " moon hoax," of gold and gems found by the square yard hi Mount Cenis t tunnel, including diamonds, sap phires, rubies, topaz, emeralds, gold, t silver, malachite, in endless profusion. i The work in the tunnel was stopped, ) and France and Italy are dividing the spoils.

The united rivers flow by Dinan to St. Malo, and are navigable for barges. The dense population has been favorable to the ex - " tended culture ofthe land, nnd, says an i agricultural writer, proves the truth of the assertion which may almost be as sumed as an axiom, that'just in propor tion to the reduction in the number of farms on a given area will be the reduc ( tion in the produce of the district. J The Three Great Navies. r.KTTKIt BY PRINCE 111: JOIN* VILLE TO A GENTLEMAN I\ WASHINGTON. [COPY.] OW.EAN* UIHSE. TnirK' Nil.ltr. Sl'llliKV. I April itt, ink j Drab Bib:—Just as i was going to write to you to congratulate you upon the great achievements of your fleets and armies, we heard of the horrible deed of the 1 ith, aud I have to mourn with you upon one of tbe greatest and best men of the age. Ihe voice of pos terity is already speaking, nnd every where everybody is at length recogniz ing the value of that good, honest and firm man. The feeling of horror and indignation is universal in Europe, mixed with a great deal of alarm for the future. For myself, I do not, feel that alarm. I have always had faith in your country, and I have it still. ' Your en -rgctiu but wise country will find other pilots worthy of the task they will have to perform. I only say that il'good Mr. Seward is savi'd, that task will be made much easier. I ardently hope that it will be the case, and that he will be spared for the good of his country ami thoufi'tc tion of his friends. Bul il* be was to succumb, we have here in London, in Mr. Adams, a firm, clear-headed, discreet mail, who has very strongly Impressed me with his value, and who, as far as my knowledge of men permits me to judge, would iiniltc a very efficient substitute. I also hope that the dastardly ail will lie found lo be the work of only a few desperadoes, and that it will not stop that, feeling of magnanimity in victory which your bitterest enemies are obliged I to admire. You have proved strong iv war, mum- j imous in your national policy; your: constitution has passed successfully, and Is going, 1 fondly believe, to pass sue- I ccssfully, through the severest tests.- - Punish the assassins, but do not be ran corous. BhoW yourselves Usg. iierous>tu you are strong. I take the. liberty to suggest to you that wish, because it is my only fear that these horrid assassi nations, and the miserable exultation which they will not fail to,provoke among the low-miuded of your enemies, shall bring witii them a bplrit of retali ation from which no good can oome, I wish to see your great country come out of all its troubles without any spot. I wish il for herself first, andalso'for tbe j example. You defend not only your cause, but that of liberal institutions all over the world. You must be proud, sir, of the doings of your navy. With' tlie brilliant ex ploit of Commodore Winslow has tlie tide of victory turned with you. The achievements in Mobile Bay are without parallel, and throw the greatest honor ■ou your flag. All naval men payajusl tribute of admiration to Admiral Kiirra gut and bis brother officers and men.— This war will leave your navy in a very efficient statsi, and with a feeling of con lidence in itself, which is half the suc cess. Not so iv European navies. Ours is tired and disgusted by tlie odious ser vice of transports imposed upon it. .The Britisli navy, after a long period of mac ' tion, and furnished witli ships and men it has no confidence in, is not what it was formerly. Both navies continue to build sea-go ing broadside iron-clads of Immense size and cost j but the policy of building such expensive ships when they may be so easily sunk by a miserable torpedo is much discussed, and tlie tide is coining to small Iron-clads witli two or four guns, Monitor fashion. J'or long cruises, fast unclad screw sloops, Alabama or rather Flortdathmh lon, seem also to be most appropriate. Upon all these points you have the lead. Where everybody is still behind is in gunnery. The best English gun Is the 3IK) pounder, smooth-bore, muzzle-loader, Armstrong gun, built on the coil princi ple, and able to throw ils shot with a very heavy charge of powder. The royal navy has no good rifle gun of heavy cali bre; bat I think that Mr. Blakely can turn out some very efficient ones. The French have no heavy guns, smooth-bore or rifle, and have not yet succeeded to experiment .successfully upon any one. The best gun we have in use is a breach-loaded rifle gun, throw ing a 00-pound shot with low charge. That gun works well, is very accurate, but of no use against iron-clads. The Emperor is trying a gun of his invention, rifled and made of steel in side and brass outside. 1 have no faith in it. It is from the United Slates that we expect the production ol the large rilled gun for sea service, as soon as your cle ver workmen shall have turned their minds to the production of built-up guns of steel or wrought iron. The heavy gun is much wauled, since tho battle of Mobile has so much shaken the confidence in the employment of I'll iTW. Willi the preceding gunnery dial, I close this letter. Bo good enough to be lieve me always, Very sincerely yours, F. rj'Oru.n.vNs, Prince de Joiuville. I see in the papers a very bad letter of Mr. Mason, the Confederate agent. I wee, also, that the British Parliament is going to vote an address of sympathy at the occasion of the dreadful calamity, it, is very proper. We Frenchmen are not free to act in a similar way ; but 1 hope, for tlie honor of our government, that they will do something to show llieir sense of what is due. to a friendly nal ion. _—— ♦*►♦ A lIKFRHSKNTATIVE OK I ~, ~i-: SAM. —In Cairo, Illinois, recently, a num ber of contrabands were working for Uncle bud, One day one of -them bad occasion to ride a horse, and coming to a very muddy place in the road, he nat urally took to the plank sidewalk near a house.

The ex pressions of my letter ot credence mani- Jest the high esteem in which my au gust sovereign holds your person, and the high interests which connect tbe I'lnpire with this great nation. Brazil has never had a thought, Ml', l'resident, but of maintaining unalterably and of ever drawing more closely the relations of friendship and good understanding between the two countries. This is my charge, and with this purpose 1 shall not spare any efforts to respond to the OohfldenO reposed in me. I shall deeni I myself very fortunate, Mr. Presidenl, If in tlie discharge of so honorable and im portant a mission I shall be able to merit, also your confidence. This tusk will bo so much the less ditlicult forme as I hope by my personal feelings town id liie United States and by my actions to win the sympathy of your government, is elsewhere it isexpressly recommend ed to meto do. On this solemn occasion, ottering to you tlie most ardent wishes, in the name of my sovereign, for the prosperity of the North American union, uuderyour wise administration, | lei it be allowed lo me to express lo you I directly on the part of my sovereign his j deep sorrow at the unhappy event ofthe I 14th of April, which placed the whole [ nation in mourning, when the distin guished successes due to tho patriotism and extraordinary perseverance of your illustrious predecessor should have caused it only to rejoice. To which the President replied as fol lows : Mn. Az.VMnr.iA—The imperial letter of credence which you bring rrrsVltlip prei'intivo testimony that, you have maintained so high ;i character uud c.\ erclsed so wide an Influence at home, that I feel entirely at liberty to assure I you of an agreeable reception not, only i in the diplomatic circle here, buiuiuoiig the people of the United States. I re ciprocate toward Brazil the good feeling you havo exercised in regard to our country in the name of your sovereign. Brazil is already a great State, and she has the.elements which enable her to become a leader among the nations. I regret that in times past no closer rela tions were allowed to exist between Bra zil and the United States. Holding anito similar positions on tlie two parts of the American continent, they ought to be not merely good neighbors, but inti mately associated together hi politicnl as well as commercial resources. It is my strong desire to contribute to that association. Our policy is one whicli is simple and easily to be understood. We wish to promote the progress of civiliza tion in i his hemisphere, and, for that purpose, the development of nuterial resources, the improvement of com merce, and the introduction, as faHt as possible, of free, intelligent labor into the virgin fields of the continent. In stead or weakening new American States In our vicinity, we wish to impart strength to them hy reposing in them a generous confidence, rather than by in dulging jeolousiesof their prosperity or a querulous disposition in regard to tlie manner in which their governments are administered. Above all, we wish to impress them witli the conviction that all the nations of America, if they would continue to exist, must aspire to absolute self-sustaining independence, and to a perfect political equality with the other nations of the earth. Tf Brazil shall agree with us iv this policy we shall hereafter be not only close friends, but practically we shall become Arm and fast allies. *>*ES*>M Tkkat.mi:\toi- hAMm Unhkr Wa ter ! —ln Belgium men and women, grotesquely glad, bathe together as free ly as if water wen) there natural ele ment. At Blakenbiig you will see the bridegroom come forth from his buiynoir leading his bride by the hand, and steadying her amid the serf. The father dips his daughters, and the most modest dinioixii/e S in the world, from a neigh boring machine, gladly avails them gelves of,hie polite services. Sometimes a harmless acquaintanceship is struck up amongst the waves, to be perfected on dry land, as occasion may otl'er. At tlie baths of Pfeffer young' men and maidens, old men and children, sit. in the healing waters promiscuously, while tables of wood, bearing a newspaper or a cup of coffee, are gently floated to them along the surface, at theit call. At Dieppe the weather-beaten bather, with his coarse blue shirt andsun-burned bat, waits patiently for the lady issuingfiom her marine chamber, fancifully clad, aud often wearing even iier necklace and rings. He listens, with his bucket in hand, while she tells him how the sea-water is to be thrown. With one it is the head, with another the arms, chest, ocjiape of the neck, that is fust to be perfused ; and another stands like a rock, while pail afterpail is dashed upon Ihe small of her hack. Then, if she is young, the bather gives her a lesson on swimming, and bids her rely on the mo tion of her alius, and leave her feet en tirely to his direction, while lie guides them after tlie semblance of a frog.

A party of Western gentlemen, com posed of members of the Chicago City Council, with scientific and business men from that and other cities in the West, are making a tour through the Eastern cities, examining the institu tions and appliances best adapted to the government, health and comfort of a city, witli a view to incorporate desira ble features in their municipal system. On Thursday they were entertained by the Mayor and Council of Brooklyn. Friday they spent in visiting the Mor* gan iron Works and examining the Dunderberg. Saturday they were the guests of New York city, and in com pany with the Aldermen and Council men, visited the Park, islands, prisons and public works and institutions gen erally. Bishop Atkinson, of the North Caro lina diocese of the Kpiscopal Church, in his recent address to the Council of that State, urged a reunion with the Northern Church. He also spoke iv re gard to Hie changed condition of the colored people, and insisted that the fact of their having acquiror) their free dom did not diminish, but, on tho con trary, increased, the duty ofthe Church in caring for their spiritual welfare. He even urged proselyting among the freed men, and said that colored congrega tions should ho raised up throughout the State, so as to give them the "true doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ, in lieu of the vain janglings of false teachers."
