he troops excited the admiration of the officers, and the perfect marching of the 7th regiment caused them to applaud the sight. The review concluded, the guests were escorted to the Governor's room, where they were welcomed in a speech by Mayor Opdyke. In response, Admiral Lessofaky said: "Mr. Mayor--Before I reached this place myself and brother officers received the kindest greetings from the people of this city, in the houses and in the streets, and from the troops who have dthe sincere friendship which now unites the two countries; and when we shall leave you it will be with a consciousness of the fact that we are your debtors." Many leading citizens were then introduced to the Admiral and his associates by Mayor Opdyke, after which they appeared on the balcony and were loudly cheered.--This being concluded, they were again escorted to their carriages, and the vast assemblage dispersed.

A furious Onslaught on Mayor Opdyke, of New York, by Thurlow Weed. Notwithstanding the intense a pretty quarried between Thurlow Weed and Mayor Opdyke, of New York city, and here is Thurlow's le of boisterous Abolitionists, I made use of Mayor Opdyke and Editor Tilton as examples. Both have rand the skulking. But to another accusation Mayor Opdyke says: "He next charges my son with hoy public may be regarded as such." Was Mr. Opdyke's notary's commission a "barren" one ? We shall see. Mr. Opdyke, senior, after filling the Custom House with relatives (one a Breckinridge rowdya payment of a quarter of a dollar each to Notary Opdyke ! Some of the officers rebelled; but if fid them with fidelity." The charge that Mayor Opdyke is "gorged with profitable contracts" is "ehich ordinary claimants are subjected.

d his loss will be severely felt. A brisk guerilla war is maintained against, the invaders; but that will never turn them aside from their purpose of conquest. Altogether, the prospect for Mexico is sad, and that for the French very good. The song of New England. The "Sons of New England" held their annual celebration of the landing of the "Pilgrim Fathers" at Plymouth Rock. Gens Burnside, Sickles Dix, Senator Sale, (just convicted of taking a $3000 bribe,) Henry Ward Beecher, Mayor Opdyke, and others, were present. The New York News has an account of the proceedings, from which we extract the following: Once a year at least the "Sons of New England" take a firm hold of their lower garments, and exalt themselves amazingly. It is a curious custom, peculiar to that people, and accounts satisfactorily for the remarkable failure of their trowsers to reach the tops of their socks, as is always seen in the prints representing this strange race of men. --This year, in this

Thus far there is a slim attendance at the Republican State Convention. There appears to be less interest taken than usual by the politicians of the party. The operations of the politicians this evening are such as to lead an observer of their movements to infer that both factions desire to do something that will so embarrass the Republican party that it will be impossible for Lincoln to carry the State. The old stagers and leaders of the faction in the party are on hand. Weed and Opdyke are here at work against each other, the latter having Greeley as his aide-de-camp. The anti-Weed faction are crowing lustily over their triumphs over Weed in the recent change in the custom-house, by the appointment of Draper, instead of Wakeman, in Barney's place, which is now a settled fact. The contest between these two factions is quite interesting, and has already exhibited signs of entering into every question, even the most trivial, before the Convention. It is also charged — and,

This celebrated libel suit, now progressing in New York, furnishes some rich matter for the papers there. the evidence of General Fremont, who was on the stand for several hours. Part of the libel, you will remember, was that Opdyke had extorted a large amount of Fremont's California mining stocks in consideration of aiding to make him a candidate for fornia; explained the embarrassments of the Mariposa estate, and admitted transferring twenty-five thousand shares to Messrs. Opdyke, Ketcham & Hoey in regular course of business. Hon. Thomas C. Fields, lawyer; Philip Tillinghast, commission merchant, and E. Brown, machinist, gave testimony touching Mr. Opdyke's gun factory, his charges to the city for property destroyed by the mob; but nothing especially new or interesting was developed, when the court adjourned till to-morrow.

his Government, and therefore they could not be lawfully subjected here to the punishment which they have deserved; nor could they, being enemies, be allowed to enjoy the protection of the United States; they will therefore be set at liberty to seek a refuge wherever they may find it, with the hazard of re-capture when beyond the jurisdiction of this Government. The entire correspondence will soon be officially promulgated. The Wire-Pulling in Lincoln's Election. The Weed-Opdyke libel suit in New York is bringing to light a goodly amount of political scandal. It appears that the " American party" of New York supported Lincoln on the contract that Andrews was to have the collectorship of the port. One who certified to this fact related the interview of the "American" committee with Lincoln. He said: On Tuesday or Wednesday, the 11th of July, 1861, the committee I have named was at the President's mansion at 12 o'clock; he informed us he was busy, and asked u

New York is to have justice; in other words, it will have to raise only four thousand two hundred men — not thirteen thousand, as previously supposed. The Weed-Opdyke case draws to a conclusion. The earlier part of the day was occupied by Mr. Field, who concluded his summing up for Mr. Opdyke.--He spoke of the Mariposa claim, and argued to show that the entire connection of his client with it was uniformly hoMr. Opdyke.--He spoke of the Mariposa claim, and argued to show that the entire connection of his client with it was uniformly honest and honorable. Judge Mason then charged the jury, who subsequently retired to deliberate on their verdict; but this, whatever it may be, will not be announced till the opening of the court to- morrow. Colonel Allen, whom General Sherman authorized to come on here and superintend the exchange of Northern provisions for Savannah rice, has taken the Chamber of Commerce to task sharply for taking it upon themselves to alter the character of his mission. He says he has no authority to ask

tive of Southern pride but of Southern want. The easiest way by which he can effect his purpose will be by a dignity which is free from tetchiness. The Weed-Opdyke suit. A New York letter, of Wednesday, says: As everything in this world must some time or other have an end, so in, obedience to the universal law, the public have heard the last of the famous Weed-Opdyke libel suit. It has ended like the story of Rasselas, with a conclusion in which nothing is concluded. In other words, the jury have failed to agree, and though the plaintiff can undoubtedly have a new trial, if he so elect, yet his friends say there is no probability that he il himself of that privilege. The scene when the jury came into court this morning was a lively one. Mr. Weed was in court, surrounded by his friends, but not Mr. Opdyke. It is said that, first of all, the jurors stood seven to five for substantial damages, but afterwards the proportion was nine to three. But Weed's friends co
