General Frank BUir, brother of Hon. jMonj gomery Blair, Lincoln's) Postmaster General,, deliverd a speech in the House of Representatives a few Java ago, full of tiller inve. tive, and aboan ling with the most serious and damaging charges against Secretary Chase charges which, if true; etarap the Secretary of the Treasury as a corrupt and dishonest man, wholly unworthy of the high position hp occupies. Immediately after the delivery of this speech, President Lincoln re com misioned Blair as a Mnjor-General iu the Army. This fact makes it evident that the speech was not only indore-el by Lincoln, but was probably delivered at his special instance and request. It it well known that an intensely bitter feel, ing exists between Lincoln and Chase, growing out of the fact that they are rival candidates for the Presidency. Although Chase sent a letter to some political friends in Ohio, pretending to withdraw hia name from the canvas, yet it is well known that this was one of those sharp politcal tricks for which he has always been celebrated ; and that he is this day more anxious to became President than was Caesar to be declared Dictator after he had thrice refused the crown. In order to accomplish his ambitious purposes, Chase is now pushing for ward Fremont, so as to divide the Abolition party -as much as possible hoping thereby to compel the withdrawal of both Lincoln and Fremont, and thus secure his own nomination without serious difficulty. Bui Old Abe sees this, and Fremont sees it, too and hence the former is determined to admit of no opposition in the Baltimore Convention, while the 'Pathfinder' ia equally determined to have the exclu sive control of the Cleveland Convention. The i only way for Chase to be equal to his rivals is to get up another Convention of his own, at some suitable point where Greenbacks can do the sclirmin"; and votinr. lie we room we would certainly lay before the readers of the Banner the with eting expo sition f Gen. Blair of Secretary Chase's cor ruptions. But we must give the public a few extracts, to show the temper and character of the production. Gen. Blair 8;tid : "That .Secretary Chase was a peace man opposed to tlie employ men t of troops against the Sotitl au.l that tlie Secretary -;" had ne- i .. i i ..... i .1. : . .. i ... ver ttuiimiuMcii i4ii puniiiun, mm whj now en- : titra ui m; iu irixmv r prcirn in lite 1Y .v ukmi ( there, would be a permanent dissolution of the Union ;" that under the Secretary's trade reg ulations, five barrels ot percursion caps lately went to the enemy : tl e enemy ; dhat contraband gocxls go ) way K;::?tHiitly, and that through ; d at ions the Secretary's son-in-law, the Fame those regul Senator Spmpne, will make two millions jf dul- tained to these questions ! lar; and that finally the Secretary uses his 1.

I do : eubscriptio.is, for which a special act of Con-not think the committee does wt it, or has -rMS wag engineered bv Mr. Chase, and by time to investigate it, especi illv aa it has on , . . , i"" . , , itn hands all frauds in contracts connected .which somebody cleared a premium of twelve with the war ; and that is the reason I have ; per cent., or about one million three hundred volunteered some of it here, and given the ! thousand dollars? committee the means of inquiring into the mat ter when thev. have leisure; but whether it does or not, the inquiry will be made. Wheth-er it is done by thi Consress or not, there will le a Congress that will .do it. And Mr. Chase cannot' scape, liei sure to answer, and however deeply the committee mav lay the white wash on, it cannot conceal the dark, back' giound. However he may r.ndertake to perse cute and drag down men who spake of these nefarious transactions, I aay that the time will come when he will be held to just accounta- buitv, when he will be railed before the bar to answer for all he has done; and all the eff orts made by bis friends thus indirectly to shield him from the charges made against him will not serve their purpose. Mr. Speakerr I have deeineJ it. due to my self, since I wasallowed a committee by which to prove the allegations that I have made here to say this much in justification of my action in the city of St. Louis, in a speech which I made 'there, and also in a speech which I made on this floor in regard to this matter. - It will be recollected that when I first offered this resolution, it was couched in plain, simple language, without any assault on the Secretary of the Treasury; and it was not until one of his friends on the other side rose and assailed me far attacking Mr.Chase, by offer ing the resolution, that I rose and gave my reasons tor so doing. Then, sir,, this affair was sought to be turned into a personal matter ; and an attempt made to drag nne down by en-pning me in a controversy with Chase's un-lerstrapper. commenced by the agents of Mr. Chare in St. Louis, is brought iuto this House. A ju licial investigation has recently been held iu which it was conclusively proved that Jay CJook Jb Co, who figure so largely and disgracefully in these letters in connection with the eleven millions excess of fire-twenty bonds, are principal owners oi the Philadelphia Inquirer, I should, have guetxed aa much from the fact of the abuse heaped upon me by this Treasury organ alout this Mr. Qhase's banking agent, as well as his Treasury agents and special and supervising special agents, have all been brought into reauisition tn fonr And ftnn. terfeit and tell lies to break me down for expos ing ana coiuing up to publto contempt and acorn their employer and master. In ladditiwnrto , the profits: realized l'v Jav Cooke d; Co. on the fraudulent subscription for tne eieven minions excess ot five-twenty bonds, which, as the boncU were twelve nr : cent. above par at the time of their issue, the orofits oa them mast bare exceeded million nd quarter of dollars, this firm has also made profits' On thenecrotia'ion'of tha flve-twontr loan, and Other brokerage business for the Treasury D-t parunent, ancorato to . taa ot&tement f ec-retarv Chase, by himself transmitted ofSciallv to this House, the lam of S450.000. as near aa 1 muaicatioa ia. 1 &HCi GadTaHf oaarter of dollar realized ly a bankiag firm in less than nine month aoomfortablcoouH potency for. two or iaree privau; genilena, and would aid in the ttablishmat of great many newspapers ia the iatwast of Mr. Chaae by lhe men, who are' ehown to b banking w rxlittcal capital to a greater extent than upon their money. ; Accordingly, we Gad a great many newspapers in favor of Chue for President, and very few people. No body is simple, enough to helieve that the distinguished. Secretary baa really reu red from the canvas, for the nouiinatiottt0 -tAie Prewideucy," although he has written a letter declining to be a can dilate. That letter was written because the "eirietly private" circular of the Pomecjy committee unearth ed h.un dergrouid and underhand intrigue against the President. It was uch a disgraceful and dis-gusting ttight to make use if the patronage and power giyen him by the President against his chief, that even Chase got ashamed to oc-cudv euch a position publicly. For that reason h is letter was written; he wanted to get down under the ground and work there in the dark as he is now doing, and running the Pomeroy machine on the public money as vigorously a ever. - iTiie work is now being done in Fremont's name, and that poor creature is unconscious Of being made a catspaw to accomplish the objects of his intriguing rival. His plan -is to hold a convention of Jacobins and red re publican revolutionary Germans at Cleveland, Ohio, precisely as Calhoun used poor John Tyler to hold a side convention in 1844 to force the Democrats to drop Mr. Van Buren. The Cleveland convention is a whip convention which will say to the Union convention to be held at Raltimore; "If you insist on the nomination of Lincoln we will nominate Fremont against him as an independent candidate." In- this way, if the delegat a who have been instructed to-vote for Lincoln can be bought with i reen backs or frightened by the Jacobin hobgoblin, it is . expected that Chase, who has to magnanimoHtfy dec ined to be a candidate, will then be taken up as a compromise candidate. This is the programme of the Secretary and the Pomeroy committee. It embraces the tactics, the intrigue, the corruption, and fraud of Calhoun and Riddle combined. . A Subject for InvestisatioTi. Charges of the most aerious character, aflec ting his integrity as a man andean member of the Cabinet, have been preferred against Salmoni P. Cha?e by General Frank Blair, anl others high in authority. As yet, we believe, no committee has been appointed to investigate the truth or falsity of these charges, although General Blair demandel the appointment of such committee, and a rowed his readiness to substan iate, by unimpeachable. testimony, al' and singular the chargei he preferred. If Mr Chiase is the honorble man his friends claim him to be, and kuows himself to be innocent.

Did Mr. Chase receive any portion of this profit, or did any one receive it for him? Who received it 1 5. What amount of government deposits has been kept daily in Jay Cooke's National Bank at Washington ? 6. What amuunt of stock does Mr. Chase hold in Jay Cooke's National Bank, standing in the name of a friend of the secretary ? Lincoln JJenonnced as a Liar. Speaking of the appomtmentof Frank Blair as Major-General, and the President's letter to the House concerning the appointment, the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gasrtte savs : The muddle is complicated by the Presi dent's unlucky attempt to couple Schenck with 15 lair, tn conversation ocnencic nas oeen even more emphatic than he wa yesterday in the Uouse, in flatly contradicting the fresi- lent'a statement, and added tbat Mr. Lmdoln was perfectlv familiar with the facts, because they were all recapitulated to him in private conversation weeks ago. This ia considered as raising a question of veracity between him and, Mr. Lincoln,, which Schenck presses si ill further by demanding copies of the paper?, votes and messages to wnicu the President re-fersin sustaining hi position." . Schenck, the loyal General, denouncing Lincoln, the loyal President, as a liar? Isn't that rich ? Truly the Blair quarrel is growing in interest. Would Schenck be hung as a traitor, if he proved that the President had lied? Miscegenation, is a-Harching On. At the annual school meeting held at North Orange, near Cleveland, lately, a negro was elected one of the School directors. .This is a fact;- and the Repahlieans generally will co'? regret that the whole board was not selected from the Tree Americans of African descent, " who are' rapidly assuming the position of ape" riority among tha "whit trash.?' f U',.

We should j'idge frSm the following extract from & late speech of his, that he was not exactly pleased with the way the Administration Is now acting in Kentucky'. He says; - ' . TH AMT BILL USSUXID. : Mr. Clay (the aubyect of pay of colored troops still being under consideration) said the property of his constituents had been stolen from their plantations ; not only negroes, but stock and. every thing else. The negroes, which were valuable, were taken into the military service, w bile the useless slaves and wotuen and children are supported at the ex-Dense of Government 'Witlio.it. a particle of law. The Government protected its officers in stealing negroes ; he knew it to be true, he had suffered himself, and to the truth of this he would swear in a Court of justice. He asked tor nothing but what the law and the Constitution gave him, and when these rights were trampled under fo;t, he would raise his voice against it." ' , "The Government protected its officers in stealing negroes; he knew it to be true, he had sutfervd himself, and to the truth of it would swear in a Court of justice." This is a pretty severe charge, but we have no doubt of its truth. Mr. Clay is a brother of Claesius M. Clay. - -' Federal Prisoners in Louisiana. The Boston Journal publishes a long list of Massachusetts and other troops, captured by the Confederates, in the recent battles on the Red River. Accompanying the list is the fol: lowing documeut, signed by Union officers, in relation to the treatment of prisoners by the Confederates, which speaks for itself: .We desire, as a matter of justice, to say that the treatment of our men who are prisoners in hospital, has been uniformly kind and courteous. The same comforts have been given our men that l ave been furnished the Oonfederaies. They have been obliged to lie side"by 'side, closely packed in, lying on cotton beds, which are very comfortable enemies but a few hours belore, now not a word spoken except in kindness or to supply some want. The ladies of the place have brought in bandages, lint and eatable all the little luxuries they could purchase for the wick and wounded, and have distributed with great kindness to our soldiers as well a their own. The village is small, but every facility they have for making their men comfortable u cheerfully given to us. In many things of course the accommodations and supplies are limited. We take this opportunity of expressing our sincere thanks for favors to our sick and wounded prisoners. (Sipned), L. K. Wilcox.

The Nashville Union of May records the following circumstances : Persons on the street yesterday were shocked by the spectacle of a negro soldier chasing a white woman. It appears that the woman. Miss Nancy Arthur, unthoughtedly passed within the lines of a negro guard, on Summer street, below broad, when the sentinel , halted her. Alarmed she fled, and the e ntinel ; pur-suedier. fhe ran from below Broad to the corner of Union and Cherry, when she sought refuge in a private residence. The sentinel followel her here, and forced her out. Miss Arthur, we are informed, bears an irraproach-able character, and makes a living with her needle. , StJIt is probable the negro thonght.he was but discharging his duty ; but he really perpetra-tel an.outrage. It is to be hoped its like will not occur again iu this city. . . Abolition Silliness. Mr. Garfield, a silly abolition member of Congress, in a late speech in the House of Bep-resenta lives said : He would resort to any element of destruction, aud, if necessary, he would fliog all constitutional sanctions to the winds, rather In other words, Mr. Garfield, in order to save the Union would destroy the ; bond of Union, which is the Constitntion. Is it any wonder, when such crazy, foolish talk is the sentiment actuating men in high places, that the country is on the high road to destruction ? Garfield is like the fellow who, in order to save his life, was perfectly willing to sever his jugular vein. Zo6n County Farmer. High Priced Tobaeeo.

Editor of the Banner To judge by tha number of daily visitors one would think that Lookout Mountain bad bfecorae tbe Yankee Mecca. Crowds of eight-seers, both soldiers and citizens pilgrims "from the North hourly throng the way, if not to do homage, certainly to rob the mountain of its most precious relics. Canes, laurel roots for pipes, moss', pe-blee, Ac, are carried away in great quantities. Several photograpliers are constantly engaged in taking pictures for those who wish their friends to see them in high places, or to obtain picturesque views for their parlors. . The " Hotel" and other buildings, formerly the summer house of pleasure-seekers, are to be need as Hospitals, and mechanics are now busily engaged in repairing and enlarging the accommo.!ations for the sick. : The sulphur and calybeate waters, and the pure mountain air, wif) surely have a salutary effect upon the in valids. The very fact of being removed from Chattanooga, itself, ia a great consideration as the warm weather is now coming upon us. Closed in by mountaine and high hills, "the Crow's Neet" is exposed to the scorching rays of the sun, without relief of a single breeze. And worse than all, nearly all the shado-trecs in the town were destroyed last fall to make room for torts, breastworks, and to be out of the way of military operations. . Except an occasional shot exchanged be tween encroaching picket lines, all is quiet in our front now, though dame Rumor, speaking through the mouths of sutlers, teamsters and niS3er8 (ever the first to get the campaign programme in advance), says, that the Army of the Cumberland will move on next ; well? every day for a month to come. Last week I "visited the 22 1st O. V. I., now encam ped just beyond Missionary Ridge, about two miles from Rossville, and found our Knox county friends in that Regiment all well. Major Yager, to know whom is to respect as a true gentleman and soldier, was al o,it to set out for home on a leave of absense." Col. Bauping.wears the "eagle" as he. wore the " bars" ever meriting a higher rank, a credit to himself and to his command. I had the pleasure this week of accompanying him and Col. Mitchell, of Columbus, to "the Falls,'' and ' Lake." one of thi chief aivd iaost interesting attractions of Lookout Mountain. Some twelve hundred feet above the valley this little lake. facPatd hy a nouotain-streaavfae quietly ana aimo-t unnoucea among t"e massive rocks of the mountain. A short distance be low, the stream, after washing over its bed of solid rock for several yards, leaps precipitately down the gorge a distance of one hundred and thirty feet, breaking into snow-white spray. Copper, iron, coal and salt-petre, are said to abound in the hills about Chattanooga. Coal and caltpetre have already been procured in several places in this vicinity, to a considerable extent, and I have every reason to believe that with peace and industrial enterprise, Tennessee, with her delightful climate, her fertile rallies and her mountains, rich in minerals, will yet become one of the most "flvurUliing States iu the Union. X. : A Wronged Woman's Revenge. Mrs. Mary . A. Blackslock, of Allegheny City, Pa, was engaged to be married to Robert Simpson, who not only refused to keep the contract, but slandered her. She commenced suits for breach of promise and slander, but was induced to withdraw them and pay the costs by a renewal of the engagement, which, if he broke a 6econd time, she assured him would be followed by his death. lie was satisfied with the arrangment, but within two weeks, to wit on last Thnrsday, he led to the alter a young lady of Pittsburgh, and on Saturday morning, after seeing the notice of Simp-' son's marriage Mrs. Blackstock provided herself with a Sharp's revolver, and started in pursuit of him. bhe accidentally met Simp-eon on the street, and told him she was going to execute her threst. He seized both her hands, but she succeeded in firing a shot into his left shoulder, whereupon he pushed her to the ground and took refuge in a livery stable. She started in pursuit, but w"as overpowered by the croud and taken to the Mayor's office, where she gave bonds to keep the peace and $1,000 bail for her appearance at Court. She is of prepossession appearance, has three children, and is about 32 years of age. She declared her intention to have killed Simpson, and regretted her failure, as be had ruined her character, and death would be welcome to ber had she succeeded in her purpose. The "Negro Equality Doctrine. The negro equality doctrines are fast becoming a cardinal feature of the Administration programme. The Philadelphia JVortA Amerc ean says; None but the baser sort of people wish the colored race to live among us either as slaves or degraded freemen ; for degraded they must be if entirely deprived of those political privileges which constitute the essence of citizenship. When once they show themselves worthy of these, the strong reaction in their favor, which is already distinctly observable, will doubtless receive an additional impetus ; and and then may -ws reasonably expect to see such a measure of justice and compensation as shall atone for the wrongs which hare, heretofore been inflicted. : .

A distinffuishedgentlemaxv in si short spcach made the other day, spoke of the overthrow of the Egyptians in the Red Sea, drawing thorefrom a parallel with reference to the present time? in America. He Batd: 'You remember that portion of the history of tho Hebrew tribe which relates that, when they crossed the Red Sea from the land of bondage and stood on tho opposite shore, they beheld their late masters, ; tho Egyptians, who had pursued them in battie array, with their tyrant at their head, overwhelmed and r sinking in tho mighty waters." We quate the passage for thd sake of saying that it seems to repeat a very common idea, which is by no means certainly correct, in supposing that Lhe leader of tho Egyptians, the Pharaoh of that time, was destroyed, with his host, in the sea; He rny have boon, but there is no evidence of this, nor is there any account in Scripture to make the idea certain. It is not probable that Pharaoh was at tho head of his host, as a leader is only in. poetry and imagination at the head of an army. The most careful investigation into Egyptian history, on the monuments, fail to give us with certainty any explanation of this doubtful point, if he Egyptian scholar do not agree in determining who waij Pharaoh of the bxoduR. The best authorities, perhaps, unite on Thothnies III. If ho was tho man before whom Mosca came so often, it is abundantly evident, from the monuments, that he lived to a later time than the cafcistrophc the lied bea. It is one of the mar. vels of ancient history that the Egyptian monumental recorda arc so silent on tho subject of the Israelites. It would seem as if tlie memory of their captivity and escape must have been erased from the old atone3 o: temples, so that nothing remains to preserve it. . On Karnak the King Shishak is represented leading his captives, among whom is Judah-Mlek, the king of the Jews, which is doubtless a monument of the event recorded, in Holy Writ. This gives a point in chron ology for the Egyptologist to work from. : But when he arrives at a period supposed to. be contemporary with Moses he is lost. Bricks made with straw and bricks made without straw are found, of the times of various monarchs; captives and slaves at work arc represented in all the dyruustie and reigns; but the Israelites do not appear with certainty anywhere. ' There id a tomb atTJenihassah containing a pic-tare that waa by some supposed to represent the arrival of Jacob and his fatnily in Egypt; but careful examination destroved the illusion.

Mr. Uitc h iter: Sir, L take pleasure iu in forming you that we have settled ourselves down in a very pleasant Camp on the Cleveland Da'ton Railroad, four mi let south of the former place. , All the troop in thi department that I have seen, look well, and see'm to be ready for every kind of duty either fighting or voting for President, or go home and let the niggers go to tho d- I I find that the McCIellan fever is getting pretty high in this Division. A few day ago Major DutToy, commanding the .15th Indiana V. W.I:, drew his regiment up in line of bat tie for the purpose of ascertaining how they would vote in case Lincoln and McCIellan were the candidates.- Wfien the cotnmanl was given for all that were in fa.vor of the re-nomination and election of Mr. Lincoln Tor our next President to step three pace to the front, three men and one officer stepped oat. The command was then given for all "who were iu favor of voting for McCIellan for our next President to shoulder arms, all that remained in ranks (about two hundred and twen ty-five) shouldered arms, and without orders gave thrte hearty cheers for "Little Mac." t It will be remembered tbat the 3oth India na was the first regiment to re-enlist in the 2d Division, 4th Army. Corps. A Turkish Lovo Affair. The modern laws of Co do not reward fs-tnale chastity, but they discouu ten auce in a very singular manner, any crueltr ft females towards their admirers. When Dr. Clark vm on that island, an instance occurred in which the. fatal termination of a love affair occa- ion.jd a trial for what the Mohammedan law yers called " homicide by an interaitsdiate cause. " The case was as follow: A young man desperately in love with arirl of Stanebio. eaeerly sought to marry her; bnt his proposals were rejected, in Poneouence of his disappointment, he bought some pmson and destroved himself. The Turkish police instantly arrested the father of the youngs woman, as the cause, by implication, of the man's death under the fifth species homicide, he be came therfbrs amenable for ihi act of snlcide. When the cause came before the magistrate, it was urged literally by the accusers, thai - if he, the accused, had. not had a daughter, he woum not nave fallen m love ; consequently be would not have swallowed poison; consequently he would not have died ; but he. the ancased. had a danghter, and the deceased had fallen in love, and h,ad been disappoiDted;. and bad swallowed pison, and had died.? Upon all these accounts, he was calle-l upon to pav the price of the young man's liTer and this being fixed at the som of eighty piistrs , it was accordingly exacted 1 . t - SSSB'SSSMSSPWSSBP- - " -Vjj ' , '. ..
