Important Internal Kevcpite Decision Returned to the City. Washington, Sept 2. The following Internal revenue decision has been made: "A person who distills brandy from pure grape juice wine, or from pure apple cider, is to be taxed the same in all respects as though he distilled it from grapes or apples. The provision allowing manufacturers to deduct freight from the place of manufacture to the place of delivery, was repealed by act of July 13th, 1800. No such distinction should be made. Manufacturers who sell their products od time, without interest, should be allowed to return their sales at the present worth of the sum for which they sell." Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Chun d'er, has returned to this city, and was at the Department Saturday morning, out is not en gaged in the performance of any official du ties. Clerks Discharged. A number of emnlovces in the Treasury Department, male and female, scattered through almost all the bureaus in the department, have received notice that their services will no longer be required after the first proximo. In nearly every case, the persons who are to vacate are those who have, within the past twelve months, absented themselves without leave, commencing with those who lost the most time without good and Miltleient excuse. Some Additional Light upon our Indian Troubles. Facts, compiled from official documents, are published, which throw additional light upon our Indian troubles. Letters from Gen. Grant, Hancock, and others, written some time ago, make it appear that the savages were bent upon war, and had no honest Intentions of keeping at peace with the settlers. They sent numerous threats to the agents ; ordered the military not to cut wood, and sent In a message requiring the removal of the soldiers, or they would help them to leave the country. They also expressed their determination not to permit the constructlou of the railroad through their grants. Upon Gen. Hancock moving his force among them, the Impression prevailed that he had come to murder them aud destroy their villages. The compilation closes with an account of numerous murders and depredations committed by the savages. ftem-rnl Hancock's Testimony before the Indian Commission. General Hancock, in his testimony before the Indian Commission, Is very decided in his opinion that a serious war exists, and even declares his belief that If the troops were withdrawn not a white man would remain in Colorado, and the great highways to the Pacific would be closed. The Indians ho "ays are amply provided with the best modern weapons, nnd are even making use of field glasses. The expenses of the General's department have, thus far, been substantially thocof a peace establishment. He places the number of hostile Indians engaged between the Arkansas and Platte rivers at 1,500 or 2,000. I'nvincnl of the Interest on HMOs The 'lortiililv ut Galveston from Yellow lever Custom House to be Removed. A warrant has been Issued from the TreasJ ury Department for $4,:J17,0u5 00 In coin, in payment of the interest due on the 10-40s up to the first lust. The Secretary of the Treasury 1ms re ceived a dispatch from Special Agent Bell at Galveston, stating that the yellow fever there was fatal beyond precedent ; of 20 officers connected with the custom house only three were lit for duty, the remainder were either sick or dead. The department has Issued Instructions for the removal of the custom house to a Hlnt further down the Island, outside of the city limits, said to be lrco from the epidemic SOUTH AMERICA. Further from llraxil and Paraguay .Muvcmc inn 01 ma iiosuie Armies. New York. Sept. 1 Herald dates from Rio Janeiro are to Aug. 1st. The commander of the Brazilian force, Marquis de Culxlas, had ut last determined to abandon the position from which the allies iiuci so long vainly struggled to advance through Paraguay. All the troops had been embarked aboard the fleet, preparatory to loriiilug a junction with Baron de Herral, wno is on t lie t imer ranama. it lias, how ever been discovered that Paraguayans are to DC met witn on tne way. 1 liey Have fortl lied several positions on the route, amoiiir them Sau Solano, which Is uow reported to be quite a formidable position to pass.

During the trial, a negro called Bradley a liar several times, when ho struck him. The negroes then set upon him, when he nred upon them, kllllug two. Ho then und has not been heard of since. PENNSYLVANIA. fled, Incorrect. Philadklpiha, Sept. 2. Tho dispatch from Kansas City, rcortliig that a win of Judge Jewett, of Ohio, disappeared from Junction City, Kansas, Is Incorrect, as James B. Jewett, only son of Judge Jewett, Is located In Philadelphia, and has not been In Kansas. WASHINGTON SPECIALS. Gen. Sickles Offence. New York, Sept. 2. TheTimes'ssoeclalsuvs: In a nut-shell, Gen. Sickles's violation of the law was this : He issued an order which was in effect a stay law, and postponed the collection of debts by action of the State Courts In his district for a certain time. This order was evaded very generally by means of the transfer of these debts from citizens of North and South Carolina to the citizens of other States, thus throwing their causes of action luto the Jurisdiction of the United States Courts, which were open. Gen. Sickles's order, No. 10, forbade the execution of judgments so obtained. Clerks Discharged In Paymaster General's Department. Gen. Grant has ordered the discharge of one half of the clerical force employed In the Paymaster General's office, the order to take effect this week. The number thus thrown out of employment Is twenty. Nine surgeons In the United States service died during the past month of cholera and yellow fever In different localities of the West and Southwest. C. Z. Cutting, Assistant Examiner at the Patent Offiee, died tills morning of typhoid fever. Deceased was a brother-in-law of Senator Doollttle. Falling Off of Internal Revenue Gen. i.ruui's roiiucm mum. The returns from the internal revenue to the Department here show a falling off of flfteeen millions of dollars Iu revenue for two months past, as compared with the returns for the corresponding period of last year. Notwithstanding the chronic reticence of Gen. Grant, an officer who has dally intercourse with him was informed that he has expressed himself privately against unqualified negro suffrage. This fact is corroborated by leading Radicals, who declare they will not take "him for President unless he comes out square on the question. The Forthcoming Amnesty Proclamation.A Washington special says In regard to the forthcoming amnesty proclamation, that tiiose who are supposed to know something of the President's intentions say pardons will be granted to all c asses of ex-rebels, except those guilty of piracy and cruel treatment to Union soldiers. This amnesty will restore parties concerned to all civil rights, except those taken away by acts of Congress. CENTRAL AMEKICA.

The Steamer Henry Cfiauncy brings Cal for ma mails of August 10th and $111,SKJ2 In gold, and Panama advices to the 23d. A plot for a revolution In favor of Mosquera was discovered at Panama and the leaders have been arrested. The preaching of two Capuchins at Chala tenaugo, In Salvador, a place formerly noted for its laxity ot morals, Induced six hundred couples to get married ; and a large number of persons partook of the Lord's Supper. The cholera Is dying out in .Nicaragua: it is still raging in some districts. Peruvian Ad vires lied iatioiiIosiiie' ra to be Tried for Treason. The Peruvian Congress will probably pass a law allowing Spaniards to remain In the couutrv, but in case of acts against the Republic they will be tried and punished lor high treason. Humors of outbreaks arc rife, but the an tlioritics seemed prepared for emergencies. Fears of the return of the Spanish fleet are about dissipated, and work on the batteries at Calloa is nearly suspended. Gen. Hovey, American Minister to Lima, was iu Chill. A rumor prevailed that his mission was relative' to the mediation of the United States In affairs with Spalu. Peace prevailed throughout Columbia, except local rebellion at Rio Haclia, where Herra had gained another victory over the government forces, under Farias, who was killed. Mosquera was to be tried for treason. TOLEDO. - ."Mutt u Game of Base Ball. Toledo, Sept. 2.

Before visiting Canton, I had always been under the impression that It ' was simply a lirst-class county town." I .'was greatly disappointed. . Canton has just claims to the rank of a city. True, in the very heart of the city, the buildings and streets have the appearance of antiquity ; but Young America Is at work, " around the edges," and In the middle, too. Two large buildings, each costing between 140,000 and $30,000, are being erected adjoining the public square. Canton has long needed a commodious public hall, and one of these buildings the property of Mr. Shaffer Is designed to supply this want. NEW COURT HOUSE. Anew court house wi'l be erected next summer, at a cost of $100,000, exclusive of the ground on which it is to stand. ; The site of the old court house being Insufficient, the citizens of Canton, with a commendable liberality, have purchased a piece of land adjoining it at a cost of $25,000 aud donated it to the county. It is . expected that tho new building, when finished, will be equal to any similar structure in the State. MANUFACTURES. The manufacturing interests of Canton are perhaps equal, in proportion to- the popula tion (about 7,oU0,) to any place In tinlo. 1 presume that not less than !l,500 persons (independent on the manufacturing establishments for subsistence. . C. AULTMAN & CO., manufacturers of reapers and mowers, and threshers and separators, employ some 325 hands; and the annual product is worth rising $1,000,000. The same firm lias a large manufacturing establishment, for the production of the same kind of wares at Akron. E. BALL & CO., also manufacturers of reapers and mowers, and threshers and separators, employ some 2-"0 hands. I did not ascertain the value of the annual product. Col. E. Ball, the superintendent of these works, is the inventor of a new machine, called "The World's Reaper and Mower," of which some 500 were manufactured and sold during the present season. These machines are constructed on the same principle employed by the American Watch Company in the manufacture of their watches. The separate pieces of every machine are cut by machinery (also Invented by an employ 6 of the works) so that euch piece of any machine will be an exact duplicate of every other machine manufactured in the shop. The effect, in Col. Ball's opinion, will be to double the durability of the machines. Though that is not the unly advantage claimed, yet it is ono of the principal ends aimed at. CANTON MALLEABLE IRON CO., (C. Aultman, G. S. Hurford, Geo. II. Buek-insand P. S. Sowers, Directors,) manufactures saddlery-hardware, wood hames,monkey-wrenches, &c, &c. Extensive buildings are being erected bv this Company ou the south side of the P. T. W. ic C. R. R., and about two hundred yards east of the depot. The main building will be ready for occupancy by the first of October the store-room and offices being now occupied. The works, at present, are In the north-west part of the city. The quality of the goods turned out nt these works have no superior any where. The old works ot the Company will be occupied by Geo. S. Hurford ifc Co., manufacturers of strap and butt hinges. There are other manufacturing establish ments of lesser note, (umongthem one for the manufacture of knives for reapers ami mowers,) which employ a large number of hands. NEWSPAPERS. There arc four newspapers published In Canton two Republican and two Democratic, one of the latter In German. The Repository and the Republican are each first class weekly papers. To an outsider It seems strange that Stark county cau support four Republican newspapers, (for In addition to those at Canton, there is one at Massllon and one at Alliance,) but a visit to the county, und a look at the business done there, will explain the matter. . ; , i HOTELS. Canton Is not as well supplied with Hotels as many smaller places. The Exchange Ho tel and the Trenton t House are ut the depot. The only first-class hotel iu the business por tion or the city, and out of the eternal chit ter of the cars, is the St. Cloud. It has re cently been furnished anew, throughout, and Is, altogether, one of the best hotels to be fouud iu the Stale. COMMUNICATION. The manufacturing Interests of Canton re- quire a Railroad connection North and South, there being now but one Railroad through the place the P. Ft. W. & C. The construction of a new line of railroad from Akron to Zancsvllle via Canton, New Plilla-delphla, Coshocton and Dresden Is now be Ing agitated. It is thought that It will lie among the best paying roads in Ohio, POLITICAL. . Though the Republicans have a certain majority la stark county, they are endeavor Ing to Increase It, and, to that end a vigorous campaign lias been opened, and will be carried on until the election day, Gen. Ed. F, Schneider, who for the lust two years has been one of tho Representatives iu the Leg Nature. Is again a candidate for re-election. His colleague on the ticket Is E. N. Johnson, Jr., of Alliance, a gentleman of good abilities, and withal a sterling Republican. Of course they will both be elected. Yours, f SENECA. Conropondcuco Ohio Bute Journal. ; - , Tiffin, ()., Aug. !)0, lyOT. Dkau Journal : August In closing out at greatly reduced rates of temperature from what has ruled In this latitude for some time past. There was frost, pretty heavy frost, In this vicinity last night, but the dry state of the atmosphere aud parched ground, and almost withered condition of vegetation, owing to tho long drouth, prevented untimely nipping, vise such a frost would have been highly Injurious. Tlfllu Is just now the scut of the Northern Ohio Conference, and Is but one of three places at present affording entertainment to the Methodist clergy of our State. The Cincinnati Conference is is session at Urbana, the Central Ohio Conference at Fos-toria and the Northern Ohio at this place. To-night the Missionary Anniversary was held. Addresses were made by Rev. Lytbrand, of Philadelphia Conference.and Rev. Dr. Kynett, oi in., agentot the unurcn extension boclety of the M. E. Church. The latter gentlemen Is a live man and most eloquent speaker. Iu his remarks he spoke of the song, the " Battle Hymn of the Republic," which had Just been sung In grand style by Chaplain McCabe and then, of course, of the "good consciences" that could not tolerate political preachers. " For my part," said the speaker, " I think there Is great deal of good Christianity In patriotism, and great deal of good patriotism in Christianity," and some in "Old Seneca." This remark met with a hearty response. The Union men here are firm and hopeful, and each day, as the frost comes on, will nip the hopes aud wither the prospects of the. Butternut fraternity. You-Bet. NEW YORK DUAMATIC GOSSIP. Prepared for the Morning Journal. New Youk, Aug. 20th, 1807. Wallack's Thkatue. Lotta has continued the great attraction, at this establishment, and during the past week as in the previous one, has drawn houses quite astonishing", considering the season. Her acting, In our opinion, does not Improve much at second sight. As the Marchioness she Is broad but slim, and her Little Nell, though good, is not as it should be. Iu spite of this, Miss Lotta lias a valuable addition to her repertory in the drama of "Little JSell," and though she falls to give a faithful portraying of her character, she nevertheless succeeds In amusing and gratifying her audiences. The piece Is still announced forreietltion nightly. Broadway Tiieatue. The comedy of "Caste" appears not to have lost any of its attractions, and the great success of the piece reflects great taste upon the public. This Is, without a doubt, the best comedy Mr. Robertson has ever written. The sub ject has been treated with originality, fresh-1 ness una great dramatic taste, it bus been preseuted in first-class style, and it is doubtful if the leading characters could be sustained more effectually. This Is the last week of the engagement of Mr. and Mrs. Florence, and but lour opportunities now remain to witness this brilliant comedy, and we hope they all will be taken advantage of. On Friday cveuing next, Mr. and Mrs. Florence take a benefit, when the theatre-loving public of New lork will, we hope, give them a sub stantial tokeu of their appreciation by over flowing their house with a mighty sight of money. 1 lie fall and winter season com mences September 2d, and will be inaugurated by Mr. E.

Mr. Daly's drama of "Under the Gas Lights,'' produced on the 12th lust., has held the boards ever since The piece Is, entirely local In Its surrouud ings, strongly cast and well put upon the staije.

A SAFE ENGINEER. Mansfield, O., Sept. 2, 1807 Much Is frequently said about the "Gentle mauly Conductor," and In case a passenger train escapes accident from unforeseen causes. great stress Is laid upon the cousumiiiatc skill aud manngenieut of the conductor.

Porlmnouth Trilmne. PEES0NAL. ' Sylvanus Coiib has written over fifty miles of stories for the Ledger, and is still at It. A correspondent, In referring to the "allegations" of Madame Cora James, In her matrimonial suit, speaks of the fair plaintiff as a "female allegator." Where is our Webster?Rev. Joseph Cakper, one of the pioneers of Methodism and a member of the Ohio Conference, died at his residence three miles from Somerset, Ohio, on the 28th Inst., in the 77th year of his age. , . ; i Ex-Governor Tiiroop, of New York, celebrated his eighty-third birthday a few days ago. He is yet hale and hearty, and as sprightly, apparently, as he was ten years ago. He resides on his farm, near Owasca Lake, Cayuga county, and continues to take great Interest In public affaijs. Rev. S. H. Tyng, who is under the censure of his ecclesiastical superiors, for preaching in a Methodist pulpit, preached a few days ago before a Congregational society at Saratoga, N. Y., on the passage, " Jesus aid unto him, Let the dead bury their dead ; but go thou and preach the kingdom of God." Hie sermon was a protest against a dead formalism, when it ret;nM the progress of vital Christianity. A correspondent gives the following per sonals of the New York Evening Gazette : Mr. Sweetscr does much writing for his paper, aud his principal assistant is Julius Wil cox. J. K. Medberry is the city editor and writer on general topics, literary, political, and otherwise, and Dr. J. B. Walker docs the locals, a large share of the " Town Talk," ond many of the descriptive articles. Mr. Medberry is the author of the article on "The New Jersey Monopolies" In a recent number of the North American Review. Among the outside regular coutributors to the Gazette are George Wakeman, author of " Torment ing the Alphabet" aud other articles of like character In the Galaxy ; William Wirt Sykes, maga.inist, and the right-hand man of Beadle, the "dime publisher;" W. Francis Williams, editor of the Musical Pioneer, aud once city editor of the Eveuing Post; Jennie June (Mrs. David G. Croly); Henry Sweetser, the European correspondent (at large) of the paper; Junius Henri Browne, Albert D. Richardson, George Alfred Townsend, and others whose names are " too numerous to mention." Grand Fi..le. It seems a little cruel to rejoice over the misfortunes of our Copperhead friends of this place. After all their efforts to get up a grand rally ou last Salur- lay eveuing, we scarcely have the heart to express any great delight at their expense. Yet we feel compelled to say that all their Hurts resulted In a "grand fizzle. "The Great Democratic Meeting," which was so extensively advertised, for several weeks, In the Urclevllle Democrat, and was heralded by flaming posters throughout all parts of the town and country, was atteuded bv probably 1B0 of the treasou-sympathiztrs and traitor-lovers of the city. we went in after the meeting had been or ganized. Uhl had failed to come to time, as usual, and Eshclmau, of the Statesman, was doing his best to bring a look of cheerfuluess and hope- to the sorrowful and downcas' countenances before him. He putted and blowed, and sweat, but 'twas no go. Eu-thuslasm could not be bought iu that audl-enec with such trilling nonsense. Eshel- man appeared to be terribly in earnest, but his hearers were very dull. They could not appreciate his "scattering" remarks, which were thrown about in such a hap-hazard sort of style, that we found it Impossible to fol low mm, mtiiougu we were present with the laudable Intention of reporting his speech In Ho begau bv rencatinsr an editorial, whicli he had written some time ago for the Statesman, and which was devoted to attempting to prove that the State Journal and Cincin nati Commercial, years airo. had favored se cession. He then branched off into the " nigger," gave afewraudom spats at this Important animal, talked a few moments about bonds and taxes, came back to the ulggcr " aualu. told the old storr. which he has told In every speech he has made, about the man who couldn't swallow the plum, aud closed with advlslug his hearers to " spit the it a nigger out or their mouths." About tlw middle of his speech, his audll ence begau to manifest signs of weariness. Many rose ami passed out, and when at last the speaker closed, half his hearers had disappeared. We could uot blame Eshclmau, poor man, he did his best. He willingly "assumed the pressure," but both lie nnd his heurers apiearert to lie laboring under the conviction, that, do what thev would, the ' nigger" wouldn't win. We felt sorry for both parties. We are confident that Eshel. man felt that his audience didn't appreciate him, and we kiiom that his audience were not ouly considerably bored, but were Teally ashamed of their speaker. We hoc the Democratic Central Committee, will scud the editor of the Statesman here frequently. We can conceive of no better wav of maim-facturlng Republican voters. CircUrilln I ii ion.

Important Internal Kevcpite Decision Returned to the City. Washington, Sept 2. The following Internal revenue decision has been made: "A person who distills brandy from pure grape juice wine, or from pure apple cider, is to be taxed the same in all respects as though he distilled it from grapes or apples. The provision allowing manufacturers to deduct freight from the place of manufacture to the place of delivery, was repealed by act of July 13th, 1800. No such distinction should be made. Manufacturers who sell their products od time, without interest, should be allowed to return their sales at the present worth of the sum for which they sell." Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Chun d'er, has returned to this city, and was at the Department Saturday morning, out is not en gaged in the performance of any official du ties. Clerks Discharged. A number of emnlovces in the Treasury Department, male and female, scattered through almost all the bureaus in the department, have received notice that their services will no longer be required after the first proximo. In nearly every case, the persons who are to vacate are those who have, within the past twelve months, absented themselves without leave, commencing with those who lost the most time without good and Miltleient excuse. Some Additional Light upon our Indian Troubles. Facts, compiled from official documents, are published, which throw additional light upon our Indian troubles. Letters from Gen. Grant, Hancock, and others, written some time ago, make it appear that the savages were bent upon war, and had no honest Intentions of keeping at peace with the settlers. They sent numerous threats to the agents ; ordered the military not to cut wood, and sent In a message requiring the removal of the soldiers, or they would help them to leave the country. They also expressed their determination not to permit the constructlou of the railroad through their grants. Upon Gen. Hancock moving his force among them, the Impression prevailed that he had come to murder them aud destroy their villages. The compilation closes with an account of numerous murders and depredations committed by the savages. ftem-rnl Hancock's Testimony before the Indian Commission. General Hancock, in his testimony before the Indian Commission, Is very decided in his opinion that a serious war exists, and even declares his belief that If the troops were withdrawn not a white man would remain in Colorado, and the great highways to the Pacific would be closed. The Indians ho "ays are amply provided with the best modern weapons, nnd are even making use of field glasses. The expenses of the General's department have, thus far, been substantially thocof a peace establishment. He places the number of hostile Indians engaged between the Arkansas and Platte rivers at 1,500 or 2,000. I'nvincnl of the Interest on HMOs The 'lortiililv ut Galveston from Yellow lever Custom House to be Removed.

Sickles's violation of the law was this : He issued an order which was in effect a stay law, and postponed the collection of debts by action of the State Courts In his district for a certain time. This order was evaded very generally by means of the transfer of these debts from citizens of North and South Carolina to the citizens of other States, thus throwing their causes of action luto the Jurisdiction of the United States Courts, which were open. Gen. Sickles's order, No. 10, forbade the execution of judgments so obtained. Clerks Discharged In Paymaster General's Department. Gen. Grant has ordered the discharge of one half of the clerical force employed In the Paymaster General's office, the order to take effect this week. The number thus thrown out of employment Is twenty.

The returns from the internal revenue to the Department here show a falling off of flfteeen millions of dollars Iu revenue for two months past, as compared with the returns for the corresponding period of last year. Notwithstanding the chronic reticence of Gen. Grant, an officer who has dally intercourse with him was informed that he has expressed himself privately against unqualified negro suffrage. This fact is corroborated by leading Radicals, who declare they will not take "him for President unless he comes out square on the question. The Forthcoming Amnesty Proclamation.A Washington special says In regard to the forthcoming amnesty proclamation, that tiiose who are supposed to know something of the President's intentions say pardons will be granted to all c asses of ex-rebels, except those guilty of piracy and cruel treatment to Union soldiers.

Before visiting Canton, I had always been under the impression that It ' was simply a lirst-class county town." I .'was greatly disappointed. . Canton has just claims to the rank of a city. True, in the very heart of the city, the buildings and streets have the appearance of antiquity ; but Young America Is at work, " around the edges," and In the middle, too. Two large buildings, each costing between 140,000 and $30,000, are being erected adjoining the public square. Canton has long needed a commodious public hall, and one of these buildings the property of Mr. Shaffer Is designed to supply this want. NEW COURT HOUSE. Anew court house wi'l be erected next summer, at a cost of $100,000, exclusive of the ground on which it is to stand. ; The site of the old court house being Insufficient, the citizens of Canton, with a commendable liberality, have purchased a piece of land adjoining it at a cost of $25,000 aud donated it to the county. It is . expected that tho new building, when finished, will be equal to any similar structure in the State. MANUFACTURES. The manufacturing interests of Canton are perhaps equal, in proportion to- the popula tion (about 7,oU0,) to any place In tinlo. 1 presume that not less than !l,500 persons (independent on the manufacturing establishments for subsistence. . C. AULTMAN & CO., manufacturers of reapers and mowers, and threshers and separators, employ some 325 hands; and the annual product is worth rising $1,000,000. The same firm lias a large manufacturing establishment, for the production of the same kind of wares at Akron. E. BALL & CO., also manufacturers of reapers and mowers, and threshers and separators, employ some 2-"0 hands. I did not ascertain the value of the annual product. Col. E. Ball, the superintendent of these works, is the inventor of a new machine, called "The World's Reaper and Mower," of which some 500 were manufactured and sold during the present season. These machines are constructed on the same principle employed by the American Watch Company in the manufacture of their watches. The separate pieces of every machine are cut by machinery (also Invented by an employ 6 of the works) so that euch piece of any machine will be an exact duplicate of every other machine manufactured in the shop. The effect, in Col. Ball's opinion, will be to double the durability of the machines. Though that is not the unly advantage claimed, yet it is ono of the principal ends aimed at. CANTON MALLEABLE IRON CO., (C. Aultman, G. S. Hurford, Geo. II. Buek-insand P. S. Sowers, Directors,) manufactures saddlery-hardware, wood hames,monkey-wrenches, &c, &c. Extensive buildings are being erected bv this Company ou the south side of the P. T. W. ic C. R. R., and about two hundred yards east of the depot. The main building will be ready for occupancy by the first of October the store-room and offices being now occupied. The works, at present, are In the north-west part of the city. The quality of the goods turned out nt these works have no superior any where. The old works ot the Company will be occupied by Geo. S. Hurford ifc Co., manufacturers of strap and butt hinges. There are other manufacturing establish ments of lesser note, (umongthem one for the manufacture of knives for reapers ami mowers,) which employ a large number of hands. NEWSPAPERS. There arc four newspapers published In Canton two Republican and two Democratic, one of the latter In German. The Repository and the Republican are each first class weekly papers. To an outsider It seems strange that Stark county cau support four Republican newspapers, (for In addition to those at Canton, there is one at Massllon and one at Alliance,) but a visit to the county, und a look at the business done there, will explain the matter. . ; , i HOTELS. Canton Is not as well supplied with Hotels as many smaller places. The Exchange Ho tel and the Trenton t House are ut the depot. The only first-class hotel iu the business por tion or the city, and out of the eternal chit ter of the cars, is the St. Cloud. It has re cently been furnished anew, throughout, and Is, altogether, one of the best hotels to be fouud iu the Stale. COMMUNICATION. The manufacturing Interests of Canton re- quire a Railroad connection North and South, there being now but one Railroad through the place the P. Ft. W. & C. The construction of a new line of railroad from Akron to Zancsvllle via Canton, New Plilla-delphla, Coshocton and Dresden Is now be Ing agitated. It is thought that It will lie among the best paying roads in Ohio, POLITICAL. . Though the Republicans have a certain majority la stark county, they are endeavor Ing to Increase It, and, to that end a vigorous campaign lias been opened, and will be carried on until the election day, Gen. Ed. F, Schneider, who for the lust two years has been one of tho Representatives iu the Leg Nature. Is again a candidate for re-election. His colleague on the ticket Is E. N. Johnson, Jr., of Alliance, a gentleman of good abilities, and withal a sterling Republican. Of course they will both be elected. Yours, f SENECA.

Dkau Journal : August In closing out at greatly reduced rates of temperature from what has ruled In this latitude for some time past. There was frost, pretty heavy frost, In this vicinity last night, but the dry state of the atmosphere aud parched ground, and almost withered condition of vegetation, owing to tho long drouth, prevented untimely nipping, vise such a frost would have been highly Injurious. Tlfllu Is just now the scut of the Northern Ohio Conference, and Is but one of three places at present affording entertainment to the Methodist clergy of our State. The Cincinnati Conference is is session at Urbana, the Central Ohio Conference at Fos-toria and the Northern Ohio at this place. To-night the Missionary Anniversary was held. Addresses were made by Rev. Lytbrand, of Philadelphia Conference.and Rev. Dr. Kynett, oi in., agentot the unurcn extension boclety of the M. E. Church. The latter gentlemen Is a live man and most eloquent speaker. Iu his remarks he spoke of the song, the " Battle Hymn of the Republic," which had Just been sung In grand style by Chaplain McCabe and then, of course, of the "good consciences" that could not tolerate political preachers. " For my part," said the speaker, " I think there Is great deal of good Christianity In patriotism, and great deal of good patriotism in Christianity," and some in "Old Seneca." This remark met with a hearty response. The Union men here are firm and hopeful, and each day, as the frost comes on, will nip the hopes aud wither the prospects of the. Butternut fraternity. You-Bet. NEW YORK DUAMATIC GOSSIP. Prepared for the Morning Journal. New Youk, Aug. 20th, 1807. Wallack's Thkatue. Lotta has continued the great attraction, at this establishment, and during the past week as in the previous one, has drawn houses quite astonishing", considering the season. Her acting, In our opinion, does not Improve much at second sight. As the Marchioness she Is broad but slim, and her Little Nell, though good, is not as it should be. Iu spite of this, Miss Lotta lias a valuable addition to her repertory in the drama of "Little JSell," and though she falls to give a faithful portraying of her character, she nevertheless succeeds In amusing and gratifying her audiences. The piece Is still announced forreietltion nightly. Broadway Tiieatue. The comedy of "Caste" appears not to have lost any of its attractions, and the great success of the piece reflects great taste upon the public. This Is, without a doubt, the best comedy Mr. Robertson has ever written. The sub ject has been treated with originality, fresh-1 ness una great dramatic taste, it bus been preseuted in first-class style, and it is doubtful if the leading characters could be sustained more effectually. This Is the last week of the engagement of Mr. and Mrs. Florence, and but lour opportunities now remain to witness this brilliant comedy, and we hope they all will be taken advantage of. On Friday cveuing next, Mr. and Mrs. Florence take a benefit, when the theatre-loving public of New lork will, we hope, give them a sub stantial tokeu of their appreciation by over flowing their house with a mighty sight of money. 1 lie fall and winter season com mences September 2d, and will be inaugurated by Mr. E.

Mr. Daly's drama of "Under the Gas Lights,'' produced on the 12th lust., has held the boards ever since The piece Is, entirely local In Its surrouud ings, strongly cast and well put upon the staije. The plot of the piece turns niton the fortunes and misfortunes of the heroine (Miss nose iuymge.j wuo repudiates her lover, lrallord, (Air. A. 11.

A SAFE ENGINEER. Mansfield, O., Sept. 2, 1807 Much Is frequently said about the "Gentle mauly Conductor," and In case a passenger train escapes accident from unforeseen causes. great stress Is laid upon the cousumiiiatc skill aud manngenieut of the conductor.

Joseph Cakper, one of the pioneers of Methodism and a member of the Ohio Conference, died at his residence three miles from Somerset, Ohio, on the 28th Inst., in the 77th year of his age. , . ; i Ex-Governor Tiiroop, of New York, celebrated his eighty-third birthday a few days ago. He is yet hale and hearty, and as sprightly, apparently, as he was ten years ago. He resides on his farm, near Owasca Lake, Cayuga county, and continues to take great Interest In public affaijs. Rev. S. H. Tyng, who is under the censure of his ecclesiastical superiors, for preaching in a Methodist pulpit, preached a few days ago before a Congregational society at Saratoga, N.

Hie sermon was a protest against a dead formalism, when it ret;nM the progress of vital Christianity. A correspondent gives the following per sonals of the New York Evening Gazette : Mr. Sweetscr does much writing for his paper, aud his principal assistant is Julius Wil cox. J. K. Medberry is the city editor and writer on general topics, literary, political, and otherwise, and Dr. J. B.

Mr. Medberry is the author of the article on "The New Jersey Monopolies" In a recent number of the North American Review. Among the outside regular coutributors to the Gazette are George Wakeman, author of " Torment ing the Alphabet" aud other articles of like character In the Galaxy ; William Wirt Sykes, maga.inist, and the right-hand man of Beadle, the "dime publisher;" W.

Grand Fi..le. It seems a little cruel to rejoice over the misfortunes of our Copperhead friends of this place. After all their efforts to get up a grand rally ou last Salur- lay eveuing, we scarcely have the heart to express any great delight at their expense. Yet we feel compelled to say that all their Hurts resulted In a "grand fizzle. "The Great Democratic Meeting," which was so extensively advertised, for several weeks, In the Urclevllle Democrat, and was heralded by flaming posters throughout all parts of the town and country, was atteuded bv probably 1B0 of the treasou-sympathiztrs and traitor-lovers of the city. we went in after the meeting had been or ganized. Uhl had failed to come to time, as usual, and Eshclmau, of the Statesman, was doing his best to bring a look of cheerfuluess and hope- to the sorrowful and downcas' countenances before him. He putted and blowed, and sweat, but 'twas no go. Eu-thuslasm could not be bought iu that audl-enec with such trilling nonsense. Eshel- man appeared to be terribly in earnest, but his hearers were very dull. They could not appreciate his "scattering" remarks, which were thrown about in such a hap-hazard sort of style, that we found it Impossible to fol low mm, mtiiougu we were present with the laudable Intention of reporting his speech In Ho begau bv rencatinsr an editorial, whicli he had written some time ago for the Statesman, and which was devoted to attempting to prove that the State Journal and Cincin nati Commercial, years airo. had favored se cession. He then branched off into the " nigger," gave afewraudom spats at this Important animal, talked a few moments about bonds and taxes, came back to the ulggcr " aualu. told the old storr. which he has told In every speech he has made, about the man who couldn't swallow the plum, aud closed with advlslug his hearers to " spit the it a nigger out or their mouths." About tlw middle of his speech, his audll ence begau to manifest signs of weariness. Many rose ami passed out, and when at last the speaker closed, half his hearers had disappeared. We could uot blame Eshclmau, poor man, he did his best. He willingly "assumed the pressure," but both lie nnd his heurers apiearert to lie laboring under the conviction, that, do what thev would, the ' nigger" wouldn't win. We felt sorry for both parties. We are confident that Eshel. man felt that his audience didn't appreciate him, and we kiiom that his audience were not ouly considerably bored, but were Teally ashamed of their speaker. We hoc the Democratic Central Committee, will scud the editor of the Statesman here frequently. We can conceive of no better wav of maim-facturlng Republican voters. CircUrilln I ii ion.
