The President's Trip.We presume tho President's romArks at
Philadelphia are a fair Mmplo, both a tolength and quality, of the forty or fiftyspeeches he will feel called upon to makeduring the electioneering tour on which hebasjuet entered. It ia scarcely to be expect-
ed that they will contain anything new ororiginal, consequently they will possess boparticular importance. ; His journey willlead him through the heart of the country.The principal cities and towns will bevisited, and he will meet the farmers andcountry people of a belt of territory, un-
surpassed in the world for prod ootiven era
and thrift. Coming in contact with thepeople of such a country, who will Assem-ble to look at him and the dUtinguishedgentlemen who form his party, and tobear him speak, if he were not so imperviously wrapped up in it andobstinacy.' the trip might be the means ofaccomplishing gTetvt good. It might openhis eyes to the fact that the mug of thepeople are unqualifiedly opposed to hispolicy; that they condemn his administration with all the earnestness of a patriot-ism alarmed for the national safety, andare more determined than ever that theblood and treasure expended in puttingdown the rebellion shall not have been ex-
pended in vain. But the President willlearn little, if anything, of real publicopinion. From Washington to Chicago,at every city where the flummery of a re-
ception will be gone through with, as wellas at every stopping placewhere speeches will be fired at the crowdfrom the rear platform of the car, he wiljfall into the hands of partisans instead ofpatriots, who will beslaver him with themost fulsome adulation, his awnopinions, and confirm him in his preiu-dice- sl
Prais of u mv policy " and" denunciation Xif Cong res will be dinned intofais ears and the ears of the crowd whowill 'listen without remonstrance out ofcourtesy. And thus it will come to passthat the President will refum to Wash-ington neither a wisrer or a better man.

OUR CHICAGO LETTER.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27, 1866.
Soiue of. our wise doctors still informthe public through anonymous cards Inthe newspapers Uui they hare not seenany genuine cnolera in tne city yet.Which will remind the dullost memory of
tie logical Irishman on trial for grand larceny who indignantly demanded acquitlnlin advance because " bejabers " the Prosecuting Attorney could only bring thrcowitnesses to swear that they saw the fel
onious taking, while Hichael could bringforty " to swear they " never saw him
stealin' at all at all,"The new cases reported, average per
haps a dozen daily, of which perhaps one- -
fourth prove fatal. The papers give thedetails in each case, and those show thaialmost without exception, the disease has abeen superinduced by dissipation, injudicious diet, extraordinary exhaustion, or,as in the majority of cases all these combined with extensive personal uncleanli- -
nusa. v - '.
inTHE WEATHER.
Has been raw and cold for ten dayspast, and a considerable increase of busi-
ness to family physicians has resulted.Tbe corn would keenly feel a frost, andalmost stands still under the loaden skies,but has gained too fine a growth to icarothe quantity or quality of the harvest inserious doubt.
CHICAGO LOTTERIES.
An Oberlin friend called my attentionrecently to the flaming advertisements ofthe lottery dealers nesting here, and expressed regret tnat Jl Had not exposedthem. His remark reminded me of a let-ter recently received by a Doctor of Di-
vinity over the way from my office, froma former parishioner in Ohio, enclosingf5, and requesting the clergyman's goodolficcs to exchange it for a ticket of membership m the Crosby Opera House ArtAssociation, witn tne sheepish anoiotrvthat this scheme was devised for the pro-motion of art, etc.
it would be mote complimentary to thegood cense of the reader, of the Lkadekthan to my own acquaintance with hu-man nature, if I should nolitelv uiiniathat the Doctor trf Divinity's Ohio
i vnriar iS tha T r .
and that tbe Leader circle includes noneof the gullible and none of the weak.Addrecine myseit then to those who maybe seriously canvassing the expediency ofnvestins in one or another of the Chicago
Lotteries, now about as numerous as theDelaware lotteries wero ten years ago, Itake time to say t
1. That these Gift Enterprises and ArtAssociations originate in every instancein the sumo human longing the peculiarAmor ien lonmne to get a eroat deal ofother people s money in a short time andwithout rendering an equivalent. The
Gifts are the merest bait to cover thohook for gudgeons.
i. In neany every instance I thinktwo exceptions, of which Mr. Crosby sscheme may be one, will save all tbe de-
cent men from the wholesale charge thomanagors are men as utterly destitute otprinciple as any faro bankers ; they aremen whose sole interest ia the show busi-ness is the realization of the most money bywitn tne least enurt; men woo would nothesitate a moment to take your pursefrom your pocket if they could do it with-out detection. ' ...
3. No one ought to be surprised, therefore, to hear, as we have been hearing atleast once a week- - for some time past, that
ix ds Company. Having sold hftythousand tickets in their great gift enter-prise, which was to have been drawn nextweek, nave suddenly lett tor parts un-
known, leaving a wide circle of mourningfriends." Not a sensible man is at alldisturbed. Just good enough for suchfriends. .Each man hoped .to get the$10. "00 prize which was to be made up by10,000 tools like nimseit lornis individualpocket. The managers' hopes were iden-tical with his own, saving only the ques-tion of ownership, and they having bet-ter facilities than he for realizing theirhopes, have realise!!, and left that is all.He would bo just as mean as they undersimilar temptation, or- - so nearly as meanthat few metaphysicians could measurethe difference.
4. The " Crosby Opera House Art Association" is only an exception to the ruleagainst lotteries so far as a probably sincere disposition to make it a lottery purearut simple may make it an exception. Mr. atCrosby made a fortune by speculating in to
innighwmes. Ale was tut a young man.and was unaccustomed to the management of large amounts. With a some-what vague but measurably laudable in-
tention he undertook the construction ofa first class opera house. His plans out-ran his resources, but he was bound tocarry them out, and mortgaged the prop-erty for a good part of its value to raise inthe necessary supplementary means. Hewithdrew so much capital from his activebusiness as to cramp himself, and after abrief but hopeless struggle assigned hisassets. His relative, Samuel S. Nicker-so- l
Esq., a gentleman of considerablewealth, had made a number of the ad-
vances in question, but the ConnecticutLife Insurance Company held a first mortgage for 150,000 and interest, and thehuge block must be converted to meet it.No one would pay for the property morethan 50 or 6a per cent, of its cost, and sonot only was Mr. Crosby hopelessly in-
solvent, bat his relative was uncomfortably embarrassed.
Having made one fortune suddenly. Mr. aCrosby naturally fell to devising somescheme for rnakiag another as suddenly,and tbe air being full of th? sound ofgrand prizes, he suddenly appeared in themidst o; tne smaller concerns withbona-fid-e $600,000 grand prize, and $100,--QO0 la art-bai- ts as trimmings, Ul coarsenothing was easier than to persuade hisrelative to advance one necessary lands,for Ibe " show " was good, and if heldthere would be par for all creditors and$200,000 or $300,000 to start the enterprising. young man in the world oncemore..Of coarse there were pienty of sym-
pathizing business friends to endorse andcommend the scheme, and so it was setafioat with the air of the most highlyrespectable lottery of the hour.
. But. if it ia to be a lottery proper,and not a mere swindle, the tickets mustall be sold, or at least the large majorityof them, before the drawing can takeplace. And here again Mr. Crosby's for-
tune is in equipoise, to say the least. Notan eighth have been sold as yet. Every.dullar received baa been expended ia ad
vertising and otherwise setting the thingon foot $100,000 or more in all. Thefacts leak outthe thing becomes a borethe ticket holders grow restive the first- -
class business men notify air. crostiyimmediate backer that their endorsementmustn't be trifled with the newspaperitems-me-n crowd their note-boo- withjuicy memoranda, and wait the auspiciousmoment for a first-cla- ss sensation ; whenprematurely a " special" goes to the NewYork Tribune and the fat is in the firewith a vengeance! Mr. Nickersoncornered and cannot escape. The agentin New lork telegraphs for an explanation the business men wait on Mr.Nickerson, and next morning a cardappears in all the papers announcing overthe personal guarantee of Mr. N. that thedrawing snail take place or tne moneyshall be refunded. And here the matterrests as I write.
The drawing will probably never takeplace. Tho ten thousand men and women who have wasted sleepless nights indetermining how the rents of the OperaHouse snail be arpropnatea as soon as tnedrawing comes off, might better haveslept. Mr. Nickerson still has the elephantoa his bands, and now the elephant has apleasant fluo.ooo bump on bis back.
isut tbe loolish will not learn. Ten toone there are geese and ganders still inOhio aching to be plucked. Let all suchforw d Aai. mon '.v at omM "to someChicago lottery dealer, and not waste iton tbe newspapers. Chikl.
President Johnson's Rebel Friends onGeneral
As a specimen of the way in which "inypolicy " encourages a delightful franknessand freedom of speech among recent traitors and rebels in regard to the heroes orthe war for the Union, we quote the
from oneof Mr. Johnson'ssouthernorgans, the Union Springs (Ala.) Timesof August 1st, in regard to gallant Phil.Sheridan :
"General Phil. Sheridan grew duringthe war to be quite notorious. His blood
Irish, and, being an Irishman, he wasfull of fight. He commanded irishmen.They wonld fight. Hence, in an army ofxaneee who were splendidlydrilled in retrograde tactics, and against
man whose taste for peach brandy wasstronger than his sense of duty, this littlefive foet eight . of resolute Finniganismmade some reputation. We rather likedthe little fellow on account of his pluck,and were glad to see him promoted, even
an army of cravens and thieves. Hestudied hard at West Point, he behavedwell in Washington Territory, . and itpleased us to see him escape the paternalpick and shovel which had contributedargely to the internal improvements of
Ohio."Why, then, hts he spoiled all by his
foolish show of authority ? Why has hoproved to the world that he is only a vulgar ditcner at heart alter all, and that hishigh rank is not the reward of merit, but
mere result of fortuitous circumstances 7 1 bis is really too bad. We havehenceforth to acknowledge these Yankeehybrids as countrymen, and it would begratifying to Southern gentlemen to knowthat some of them had just claims to decency and respect. But one by one, theleaders of the N orthern army show themselves to be only black guards and brag-garts.
"isutler turned thief at the start : Tur- -chin was a natural-bor- n imp of perdition;Thomas has displayed a remarkable apti totude for giving white people s.churcbes to
black betters ; Sherman" found thetorch a more congenial weapon to his un-
sightly nature than tbe sword; Granttried to be a politician, and failed as sig- -
ally as wnen he attempted to defeat Leefairly; and now one of the small fry. ashort tailed, slimy tadpole of the latter r
honest father, and everlasting libel uponIrisji blood, the scorn of brave men and
synonym of infamy, Major GeneralPhil. H. Sheridan, has added bis name tothis list of outrages upon humanity by
bsueof General Order No. 14, Mili-tary Division of the Gulf."

Atlantic Telegraphy.The Courrier da Havre says :
" New York is situated nearly 76 degrees of longitude west of Paris. Theearth in its daily rotation travels through360 degrees in twenty-fou- r hours, fromwhich it results that every 15 degrees tothe west of the first meridian, placed atParis, is one hour later. When it is noon

two hours to make ample allowancefor interruptions, fcc The dispatch, datedParis, 1st September, arrives in NewYork at a quarter past nine in the evening of tbe 31st of August; so that a New

AWFUL PETROLEUM FIRE INANTWERP.
Thousands of Barrels of Oil Ignited—Terrific Explosions—Streams ofFlaming Immense
of Property.
A fire broke out in the city of Antwerpon Friday morning, the 10th inst and upto toe latest advices in aobuoo whs sunraging tremendously. A London paperthus describes the conaagration :
The extent of property in buildings andmerchandise at present consnmea is rougn-ly calculated at 200,000 or 300,000. The. . , . , T, - Jnre broke out at aoout t o uiocr oa r nuaymorning in some merchants' stores situatein the Place do Walborgo, a kind of squarefronting the qnay. and known as the com-
mercial" neighborhood of Antwerp. "Thebuildings were chiefly lofty warehouses,filled with merchandize of eyery description, while in the basement stretched extensive vaults filled with somo thousandbarrels of petroleum oil, and to tho lattermay be attributed the dreaatui consequences that havo befallen tbe city. Thenrst range of warehouses attactea werethe three belonging to M. Dennis Maine,and by noon the whole of them were in ablaze from end to end.
It then rcsched a magazine or depotwhere there was stored somo 10,000 barrels" rf petroleum. The local firemen,police and military .strove every exertionto stay its progress, and succeeded in rollinga great many barrels out of tho buildingon the quay, but the explosions and vehement fury of the names compelled themto retreat. During the whole day andnight and following day the conflagrationswept on with terrific force. The flamingpetroleum from the shores in questionpoured out in a stream and flowed downinto the range of the vaults above alludedto, where the larger quantity of petroloumwas deposited, and which was all along somuch dreaded. The fire then increased inmagnitude tenfold, and the explosions thatfollowed shook the whole city, and broughtdown many houses, while many peopleare reported to have been killed.
The lorce ot the explosions blew in thebrickwork of the sewers, into which theburning petroleum flowed, and by thatmoans tound its way into a good manyhouses in Rue da Saa's, and in many otherstreets in the locality. The militarydrovethe people out to a place of safety. Amongthe buildings that were subsequently con-
sumed were the Hotel de Coburg, thebonded stores known as the Great Swanand Little Swan, and a scries of others of
commercial character. The enginesthat were brought into play were perfectlyinadequate te contend against so awful afire. There was one steamthere, and that belonged to a private firmat Antwerp. Most of the London fireoffices have large insurances on the con-sumed property.

It is stated that an important documenton the cotton question has been submittedby Dr. Forbes, Commissioner of the IndianGovernment, who was recently sent to visittha Cotton States of America. After a tourthrough all of them, except Texas, h. nownresents his returns. Ha esti mates theprobable yield of North and South Carolinaover 100,000 bales; Georgia, 150,000; Ala-bama, 200,000. As to the other lour States,he speaks of desolation, of war, and scarcityof labor, as likely to reduce their production to 55,000.

Dotails of its accomplishment is in thehands of ths King, who would act withnecessary consideration. Further commu-
nications with regard to Schleswig Holsteinwould be made after the conclusion of peace.

of the National Union Committee appointedin June, IstK, has been called to meet atPhiladelphia on Monday, September 3d.and I shall be present on that occasion, ta-
king part in its deliberations snd its action.You havs deerrtsd it wise and proper toabandon ths great Union Republican Partyof the eountry and to connect your nam.and innoenee witn a aew organization as-signed to destroy and defeat the cause withwhich I sympathize and of whieh I am insome small degree a representative. Yourpublic action has been such that I cannotacknowledge your right to use the title un-der which the meeting has been called.The nature and character of the trusts confided to vou and to me forbid that we shoulduse them except in accordance with thespirit in which they were conferred. Sodeep and wide-sprea- is this feeling in thepopulsr mind that all who should respondto your call would be regarded as betrayingthe party they have ceased to represent.
