The "On to Richmond" Aritcles. Tlie two dispatches sent by Edwin M. Stanton to Edwards Pierrepont, of New York, not long after the as sassination of President Lincoln, which were resurrected front the files of the War Department and publish ed in yesterday Tribune, : ust hAve greatly perplexed the general reader who is not aware of the peculiar re lations which had long, existed be tween the Secretary of War and the editor-in-chief of the Xeic York Trib une. The dispatches were as follows : War Department, May 12, 1805 10:05 P. M. To the Hon. Edwards Pierrepont, New Yoi-k : I have writ ten to-night to retain you and Cutting and Brady, or any one else you may desire to have associated with you, to prosecute Horace Greeley and the owners of the Tribune for Greeley's persistent efforts, the last four weeks, to incite assassins to finish their work of murdering me. Please give the matter your immediate attention on receiving this letter, and secure copies of all the Tribunes printed since the I great events which interested and -ex-night of the President's murder, and j cited, but a fraction of mankind; but 1 propose to prosecute criminally and also by civil suit, for I shall not allow them to have ifie murdered and es cape responsibility without a struggle for life on my part. Edwin M. Stanton. War Department, May 13 5:20 p. M. TJie Hon. Edwards l'ierrepo)it aad Hu. E. B. Cutting. Xezc l-'.'V: I have pi-oof of express personal mal'je against me 0y Greeley, and believe that 1 can establish a combi nation between him and o there which may end in accomplishing my death, as it did against Mr. Lincoln and ir. Seward. Tliis is my reason for dis tinguishing his ease from others of general vituperation. Edwin M. Stanton. This is the combination of events which, led to the writing of these despatches .- In the early part of ISfil Horace ( ireelcy was the editor-in chief of the Tribune. Mr. Charles A. Dana, now of the Sun. was managing editor, and had practical control of the paper. Yiie sentiments expressed by Mr. j G reeley in favor of "letting the erring j sisters g m peace had dissatisfied the m:ij. ; it y of the stockholderi-, wiiu ! were in sympathy with the more war- i iike vif.vs liclil ly Mr. lana. During j the months immediately preceding j the battle of Bull Hun a number of ! editorials appeared in the Tribune ! - - i-x--.j ?-.. ..it urging an lmmeuiaie, aii-acK upon ine enemy, then encamped in Virginia, not far v.-est of Washington. The burden of all these editorials was "On to Richmond." Partly in obe dience to these reiterated demands from that powerful journal, an ad-' vanoe was ordered, which resulted in the batt le of Lull iiun almost won, but disastrously lost. As a consequence of this defeat a storm of indignation was poured upon the editor-in-chief on account of these articles, which he had not written, which he had not sanctioned, but for which he was held responsible by the public. It is not generally known, though it is a fact, that nearly all of the "On-to-Kichmond" editorials were written by Mr. Edwin M. Stanton, not then in the War Department, but who was at that time, as he was after wards when he became Secretary of War, in favor of pushing the enemy and bringing the war to a speedy close by hard and continual poundin -. He believed that one of the best ways of securing the end he aimed at was to eplist on the side of a vigorous en forcement of the war the assistance of one of the most influential Repub lican newspapers. The wrath raised on account of these "On-to-Richmond'' articles af ter the loss of the Bull Run fight was so intense that the stockholders of the Xeio York Tribune Cor ipany yielded to it, turned out the pugnacious Dana and restored Greeley to absoluts con trol. At a subsequent period. Mr. Greeley learned by whom these "On to-Richmond M editorials were written, and he was never able to overcome a feel ing of dislike and repugnance toward the author, who had been instrument al in bringing down upon his head so much public denunciation. In lSCIr. Stanton became Secre tary of War, and soon afterward ap pointed Mr. Dana a Special Agent of of War Department, which position he retained until he was made As sistant Secretary in 1864. ' Between Mr. Stanton (a man of unrelenting f will, who having decided. upon a ine j of policy, pursued it unflinchingly to the bitter end, -regardless f popular feslirig or press : opposition) and Mr. dfereeley (nervous and timid, opposing bloodshed as much as any Quaker) there was no possible sympathy, and the anger which Mr. Greeley felt over these '0n-to Richmond" editorials of Stanton was never appeased. Mr. Stanton. on his side.looked with great distrust upon Greeley's confer ences or negotiations with the rebel agents in Canada during 1864, which he thought had a tudency to en courage the Copperhead fire in the rear, and to prolong the life of the re bellion. There were evidently some articles in the New York Tribune after the assassination of Lincoln which mug'. ' have led Secretary 'Stanton, who- was himself greatly excited by the mur-j lot te recently. She is said to be a na der of the President, or "stampeded" j tive of Columbus county, but we by it, as Gen. Sherman says in a re cent letter, to send these extraordi nary dispatches to his confidential friend, Mr. Pierrepont, who after terwards became Attorney-General. Tiiw latter being a cool, clear-headed man, evidently dissuaded the Son of Mars from proceeding with the pro posed prosecution. But it has been a well-kept secret to 'have eluded the inquisitive eyes of all the Washington correspondents of seventeen years. The history of the rebellion war is not yet written. Chicago Tribune. New York Notes. H. in Charlotte Democratic New York, Aug. 1, 1S81. Never before have a people, and not only our people, but all peoples, not one locality nor one continent even, but all continents, been touched with such sudden and simultaneous and strong diverse feeling, as the past week has brought forth. There have been great events when there was no telegraph to bring them instantly be fore the whole world : there have been the attempted assassination of the President of the United States excited civilized pteople everywhere, and it wast once known everj where. On Saturday, all were rejoicing that it had been only an attempt. In an hour, that which was assurance of safety turned to despair, not only in the United States, but all over the world, for all the world .knew of the change- as soon as it was known at the bed-side of the su'ferer. And then again, within the last week comes the happiness of an assurance of recove ry . It is wonderful. No such sym pathy could have existed if it had re quired a month, as of old, to carry the tidings to London, or Paris, or Madrid, or Canton. But by bringing the same instantly before us, the sym pathy is instantly and intensely ex cited and quickened, and the whole human race is touched with a feeling of kinship. The Postmaster General, who made so excellent an ofilcer as Postmaster j of this city, is winning new laurels in j the higher station to which he has een caliea. rot sat -fied wrui put ting an end to the "star route" frauds, and thus saving a million of dollars a year, which went out of the poclcet of the people into the pockets of a few rogues, in and out of office, he has turned his attention to little things for the accommodation of the masses of mankind. He has devised a Postal Order payable anywhere on demand within three months, for sums less than five dollars, for which a few cents in addition to their amount is to be demanded. It is a substitute for the fractional currency. The on ly objection to this scheme is, that if lost or destroyed or stolen, the owner is denied a remedy and must lose it. He also proposes to lower the charge for Post Oilice Orders, .and to increase the amount for which they may be issued from fifty to one hundred dol !:jrs. One of the most senseless things that we have known is this limitation of the P. ' O. Orders to fifty dollars, requiring the issue of two' or more or ders when more than fifty dollars are wanted. Yesterday's World contains a de- J scrintion of a North Carolina nrodicrv that I never before heard of, but ! which is to be exhibited here to-dav at Bernneil's Broadway Museum no other than a mulatto woman with one body, two well developed busts, two heads of more than ordinary size, and four legs. She is stated to have been born in North Carolina thirty years ago, of slave parents, but in what part of the State is not statejjj. She speaks with either -mouth as "I," not we; has been exhibited all over Europe, before Queen Victoria and other sovereigns so she says and is modest, lady-like and intelligent, speaking English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. A question ask ed of her is answered by both, not in the same words but to the same pur port. The Reporter asked her : '"How do j-ou do do on the cars ?" "One hand3 the ticket to the con ductor, and if he objects he is told he can put the other one off." "How would you do if one were a hard-shell Baptist and wanted to be immersed, and the other insisted on sprinkling ?" . g "I never have any differences of opinion ana always agretn every thing what to eat, 'wear, say or do. The ;tYO , mouths only eat about as much as one ordinary body would re quire, Jihd I make all my own dre-os- es. ... "How. if one had a lover and the other hadn't ?" ' One laughing and the other with a tawny blush replied : "I have a good many admirers but no lovers. I haye not got so far as that yet." Milne-Christine now ovv-ns tV North Carolina plantation on which she was born, and she has its old father and mother living on the place. One of her looks a trifle older than the other of ber, but it would not be proper to say which of her it is. Did you ever hear of her ?

Editor Democrat. Anson County, we are informed. Editor Times. Those Infernal Mtichines. London, July 27. Sir Wm. Har court. Home Secretary, upon receiv ing information three weeks ago of the expected arrival of the infernal machines, took stringent measures. The fewest possible number of per sons were intrusted with the facts, and these persons were enjoined to fidelity and the utmost earnestness. The publication of the news was pre mature, and it is feared some impor tant investigations now in progress in the matter will be rendered ineffect ive, while all chance of discovering the consignees is practically destroy ed. One of the machines retained at the Head Constable's office, in Liver pool, is described as very beautifully made and most effectively designed. Although the machines are all charg ed with explosives, there is tolerbly conclusive evidence that there was no intention on the part of the senders that they should explode in the hold of the ship while in transit from Bos ton to Liverpool. The machine is in closed in an oblong case of zinc, which occupies the upper portion ; there is a clock v.-ork arrangement, which up on being set runs about six hours, then it causes a lever to descend upon a tube bearing a cup, and communi cating v.'ith the lower half of the case. The tube is filled with explosive ma terial, which upon being fired sets off a detonating cap placed in the mid dle of a dynamite compound in the bottom f the case. The presumption is that the machines were intended to be u-;ed for the destruction of public buildings throughout the country, in accordance with the avowed Fenian programme. The Government have reason to believe the same warning which conveyed intimation of the ex- pectod arrival of the machine also gave a hint to the senders and con signee. Blaine On Beck. A crowd of gentlemen a few days since v. ere sitting in front of a hotel in our city conversing with Senators George and Lamar. Some one in- quired: "Who do you gentlemen, think is the ablest Democratic Uni ted States Senator?" "That is hard to decide," said Lamar; "but I will tell you '.v'iat Blaine once remarked to ma: 'We over here consider Beck the hardest hitter and the. strongest debater you have got on your side of the chamber.'" Gen. George said: "There is a good deal of truth in this. I was struck with Beck's power as a speaker. What he says is always strong and never foolish." Lamar further concurred with Gen. George in his estimation of the Kentucky Senator. Oxford Falcon. The liicn Law. In the Williamsbirrg Herald a start ling example i3 given of t,he cost liness of the Lien law. A Lie-nee told that he had to pay U a barrel for extra flour and 15 cents a pound for shoulder bacon. The same person told the Herald that a merchant in an adjoining county had told one and the same horse for three consecutive vears to the same farmer. For the horse the farmer has already paid about $300, and he is as far from own- ing him as when he began. The sup- position is tnat tne rarmer, at ineenu i of each season, found himself unable to complete the payments for the horse, and" returned the animal to the seller, forfeiting the money already paid. Xeics and Courier. Alittle girl in Wilmington inquired the name of an orphan girl who had no friend, and had never received a letter. She then wrote her a kind letter, enclosing a dollar. Thatlittle orphan was happy for a month.' ISho carried her letter in her hand, and had it read to her many times every day, until she wore the paper out. She has since been adopted o a lady who wishes her to forget the Orphan , Asylum; but m our opinion she jwili never forget the little girl in Wilming ton -grphaius friend. A lady who lives on Austin avenue sent her colored scrjt Matiidto the grocery store to get loafj of bread for breakfast, which- was ready. Matildy got back pretty soon with the bread, and -as the lady of the house took it she remarked : "This is nice, .fresh broad ; it is warm yet from the oven." "Dat ain't what makes it hot," interrupted Matildy. "What doi?s make it warm "I put de byead under my arm and run do who!6 ivay from de backery. Dat's what warm ed it up so." The bread got cool be fore the lady did, when she heard tais explanation, . The Skldmore II utter. The affable mad gentlemanly pro prietor of one of our leading hotels had just finished his forty winks af ter retiring the ther night, when he was conscious of; la slight noise under the led. "Come out of that or I'll blow you full of Sutro tunnels?" he shouted, as he sat up in bed; and cocked his re volver. "Hold hard! Im coming !" said the concealed party, iscrambling from un der the bed. It was too dark to see clearly, but the hptelkeeper could per ceive a shadowy ; form-arise and lean aiTablT over the jCtotboard. "What the blank nation are you do ing there ?" roared the incensed steak stretcher. "Now, keep dool take it easy don't get excited;" said the intruder, blandly, "It's all your fault." "What the biaies do you mean ?" "Why, I've be4n trying my name is Sliggs, agent: for Siushington & Slazy, Philadelphia I've been trying to see you for two weeks. Wanted to. show you a patented article of the greatest value toiyour business." 4 'Don't want to see any agents but what the devil do you mean by ' 4I was just goi (ig to exj lain, " inter rupted the cheeky customer. "I de termined to see ymi at any risk, so I just hid under the bed. You see, 1 wanted to get at i you when you had nothing to bother iyou. Plenty of time to talk, you understand." "Well of all -the gall :" . "I won't detain you a minute," has tily continued the agent. "I am try ing to introduce a patented article of butter, and " j - "We've arranged for all the oleo margarine we w.ant," groVled the hash server. "But this is another article entire ly. It is a composition of semi-liquid rubber, colored-and manipulated so as to exactly resemble the best clover fed butter. By its use the boarder of the period can bebrought so as not to eat any butter at; all." "Don't believe it," said the dyspep sia aggravator, incredulously. "But it's a fact! all the same," went on the agent, sitting on the footboard and lighting a cigarette. "You see, the guest puts his knife into the but ter, and proceeds to butter his bread. That is lie thinks he does, but the UUUUI -iy- y iub 10 uie pressure of the knife. Instead of the portion 1, U.. 1 1 ,1 A ... ll.. being removed it really slides back to the original roll as he withdraws his knife.. The boarder imagines he has spread the bread- however, and eats it contentedly. You know how much imagination has! to do with these things, anyway.'' "Big money saved if the thing really worked," mused the landlord. "But it does work," persisted 2vfr. Sliggs; 4 'There aifo twenty-six restau rants and four large hotels using it in Chicago. Big success, too. Doesn't give the bread that peculiar ahem ! peculiar wheelgreasy flavor of regular - i hJOti!i butter. Besides, there are no hairs and things. ; IfiLwasn't so dark I'd show you a sample that has been in use oyer eight months. All you have to do is to freshen it up with a little water and a wooden die once' a month, and therej you are." 4 'I'll think over it," said the great American "extr4" charger, thought fully. ' 4 'Do so, and I'll'see you in the morn ing," and after tucking the covers around the landlord's lo t and bidding him a cheory gotpd-night, the butter agent unlocked the door and slid out. Instead of inspecting the new. boon to ta ern keepers ti;e next morning, however, the hotel man put in time writing an advegfiseraent for the pa pers to the elTect that if the sneak thiof who stole four kp.i1 rines a Ret of diamon(1 stucy six 8Carf in9 ir sleeve buttons, jgold watch and 52 i in coin from a room in the hotel, j would return the jewelry, he could keep the money and no questions i asked.

Washington, -July 20. The Star has interviews with astronomers of the Naval Observatory, who say that there are three comets now visible. "Enck's comet" is the Litest arrival. It will appearand be visible by tele scopes about 2 :30 o'clock in the morn ing. Its position is given in "Ephe meris" already computed for. It has right ascehtion 24,50 minutes, decli nation north twenty-five degrees forty-eight minutes.. That will bring it up just a little north of the pleiades. "Will it become visible to the naked. eye?" inquired the reporter. "It does become visible sometimes. I should not wonder if along about the middle of October you will be able to see it." This little comet will travel north quite fast, reaching its most norther ly point (4.3 degrees C7 minutes) on September 2(5. Its perihelion passage will be about November 15, and it will be nearest the earth about October 11. It is now 175. n. 000 miles from the sun, and 167,000,000 miles from the earth. At its perihelion it will be about 1)2,000,000 miles from the sun. I Comet "C" is becoming brighter every morning, and astronomers think it will be visible to the naked eye now if it was not so near to the horizon. The old comet "B" is fast traveling south. Itis still an interesting object iruthe evening sky. No special ob servation will be made of Enck's com et lor several days. It is regarded with' great interest by astronomers on account of its gradually shortening periods, which is considered as proof of Enck's theory that there is a me dium in space. Its period is about three and one-half years. Selling Sahara. "I have a plan to turn the great Sa hara Desert into a smiling landscape, full of hills, valleys, glades and dells," he said as he entered a Griswold street tobacco store yesterday. "Yum," was the reply from the man who was sorting over pipe-stems. "The cost will be only fifty million dollars. I shall issue ten million shares at $5 per share. Every share holder will be entitled to a ten-acre jot and a share in the profits of wni it in v irn i n.an l it w niii-Li i:. . "No, sir." "One?" "No, sir." 44 Will you give me half a pound of fine cut for a share?" "No, sir." 4 'Don't you want to see the desert smile?" i "No, sir."

Gimme ten cen ts" worth of poor plug and take the whole desert off my hands and let me go ahead with my tunuel from Portland to San Francisco, Eh? What do you say? It's the last chance you'll have this summer to buy a country of your own. Eh! Thanks; Saliara is yours. Go ahead with the smiling process." Children's Laughter. There are no sounds so sweet to mother's ear, except, perhaps the first lisping of an infant's prayer. Child ren's laughter ! How dull is the home where its music once so joyfully echo ed, but now is heard no more. How still is the house where the little ones are all fast asleep, their pattering feet are silent. How easily the fun of a child bubbles forth. Take even those poor, prematurely aged little ones, bred in the hovel, cramped in unearth ly homes, and ill used, it may be, by bad parents, and you will find that the child nature is not entirely crush ed out of them. They aro children still, albeit they look so haggard and wan. Try to excite their mirthful ness, and ere long a laugh rings out as wild, and free as if there was no such thing as sorrow iii the world. Let the little ones laugh, then, too soon alas! they will find cause enough to weep. Do nottry tQ silence tliom hut lft, tlifT nes$ ring out in gladsome us of the davs whtowe.

A letter which we publish today under the head of 4 'King Cotton" will show the North what immense strides the South is making toward greatness in manufacturing, A feMr years ago a cotton mill in the South was a curiosity ;the staple went North,: its travelling expenses being nearly two cents per pound, and whatever; cotton goods the planters wanted had; to pay heavy freights to reach their i destination. Now mills, and large ones, are going up all over the South, ! and paying dividends such as no own er of Northern mill stock has seen in many years. The negroes are said to . be failures as mill hands, but plenty I of white operatives can be had:. vHav-i ing succeeded so handsomely with cotton, the South will probably at tempt other manufactures, and there' is no reason why she, should not do well in working wood, iron and clay into the forms that command the best , ... prices. Xew York Herald. What Tennj'son dreamed of in the federation of the world has just been seriously proposed by a no less mat ter of fact personage than Professor . Bluntschli, of he chair of Roman law, at Heidelberg. The good doctor ' was one of the signers of the univer sal peace plan so contemptuously re- jected by Von Moltke some tjime ago, but undeterred by that check he con tinues his efforts in favor of the abolition of war. His latest plan is comprehensive, at all events. He proposes a union of nations (Staats bund) which shall be composed of the six great powers in one category, the ' Western and inferior powers, such as Portugal, Belgium, Denmark, Hoi-, land, Switzerland and Norway. The Eastern powers Greece Bulgaria, Roumania and Turkey, Servia and Montenegra in a secondary rank, though with equal rightsj These States should be entitled to vote in . proportion to their status in a great federal council,' the larger powers having two votes and the smaller powers one. There should j bo, addi tional to this council a Senate and House of Representatives to enact laws suggested by the council. The language to be employed, j English, French and German ! The place for : ' the sessions of this amphyctionic body should be movable, but pever in -large cities, where outside influences might be brought to bear on the' delib erations. The business of these inter' national legislators, would be to make the wants of all States respected and V codify international laws bearing on the interest of all the Stales.
