CHARLES OWNER, General Agent, nl lm 44 Oedar Btreet, New Yoric stated during his address last evening, in a quiet unostentatious way, that in sixteen ye irs he has organized One thousand ene huTidrei and iiccnly four Sabbath Schools, where none had existed before. In these, 8,833 teachers had labored, and 51,321 scholars had receivad tha benefits of a Sabbath School instruction. EEV.

An artist could have paintod a score more of pictures from his address. He de scribed the journey which he made from the Missouri rrver, at Atcheson, acrss the rolling prairie to the "Beautiful Blue," a stream surrounded by the most magnificent seenery. His parish, he said, is 80 miles long and 60 miles wide. At Denver there wa great difficulty in establishing a ckurch.

C. tttt.t.. A number of beautifully bound volutaes, 16 number, of the new American Cyotopajdia were brought into the and presented the Lame of the teachers connected with the Sabbath School to the Superintendent. Mr. Carman, one of the made a graceful phesied through tho columns of his paper that this country did not get up a foreign war to off its superabundant steam, tho national boiler would burst.

Unlike most prophet he to work to help to fulfil his propheoy, when ascertained that he would not bo accomodated by an international war. Ho went nr. established paper at Kuoxvillo, and was one the earliest advocates of seporation. that he is engaged in a rebellion he la not entirely satisfied wilh it, and he is oia i. ii'S among the men, who while in favor oi Sonthem independence, is strongly oppojo.l to the Davis administration.

Since the war broke out two of Mitchell's sons have bean killed while fighting for the South, an 1, wo believe, within the same period, his eldajt daughter died in her father's arms in Paris. The examination before the Richmond masris. trate into the facts connected with the Foote and Mitchell quarrel has thrown some light upon the ptrsonnel of the Bichmond press. The Examiner is undoubtedly the most ably edited paper published in the South. It was this paper that the attaek on Ex Gov.

Foote appeared, and he hold Mitchell accountable. On the examination, Mr. Daniels, Consul to Turin under Mr. Pierce's administration, and for many years proprietor of the Etaminer, ch imed to be the responsible editor. MitaheU, we assume, is the author of the very vigorous articles very generally copied by the Northern press.

A Mr. Pollard also figures as an. associate editor. Another llr. Pollard, claiming to be the editor of the Eeam'ner, and better known as the author of a history of the war, written, of course, in tho interest of the South, was captured several mouths since upon tho steamer Greyhound, while attempting to run tho blockade.

He has lived, we believe, in this city up to a very recent date, under a parole, by which his freedom was restricted to the limits of the city. Poor Mitchell has had a rough life of it, and if it had closed in a duel, the unitieB of dramatic action could hardly be said to have been violated. ailg (Bagh 2HOJTPAV EVEJflJfG, NOV. 28.

It is now conceded on all hands that the plot to bum New York city was concocted by relngees from tie South. This much is taken for granted by the New York A'eics, a journal V7hich certainly cannot be charged with enmity towards, that section. It is claimed, howercr, that the rebel authorities gave no countentmee to the terrible project In all probability, this is so. 'Whatever may be said against Jeff. Davis and his associates, they are wise enough to understand their own interest, and this could not have been subserved by the success of the terrible plot, which failed almost by accident Still, it is doubtful if the attempted crime will be looked upon wjth' the same ieeling by any class in tie South with which we regard it "We assume that the rebel authorities will say that we of the North have provoked this method of retaliation, and that the conduct of our military authorities have justified it But recently one of the Richmond journals introduced the scheme in the following threat: A million of dollars would lay thoproudost city tje enemy in uphcB.

The men to execute the wofc are already there. There would be no difficulty in Hurting there, oi in Canada, suitable persons to tike charge of tho enterprise and arrange the details. Twenty men witn planspre concerted, and means provided, selecting sorao dry, windy night, miRht ore New York. Philadelphia, or Boston in a hundred places, and wrap it in flames from centre to suburb." It is useless, perhaps, at this stage of the war to attempt to divest it of unnecessary cru elty. It is left lor ns only to protect ourselves in the best wr.y we can.

'1 bo Southern lefcxees have no especial enmity ugainst the metropolis.

On the contrary. Ifccrc are very many reasons why New York should be regnrJcd by with ospecia' iavcr.

It wonUl be impossible to devise another plot pos equal chances of iTxccs. lint the diabolical jeheme which i as failed in New York may bi tried in other itics, 'jut as New York is, by a very narrow escape from tearful danger, to extraordinary igilance. 'Ibis city is in the very vicinity of the metropolis No doubt many isouthem have found a home here, ft beccir.es us, while giving way to no undue i. lOrro, tc guard against the possibility of danger. As (he vulnerable point of New York was So to speak, iu its numerous and easily accessible hotels, the chief point of danger in this city is in the public stores which lice our river front.

It is only necessary to allude to the character of the articles stored in these extensive edifices, to show the possibility of the grave danger to which we are exposed. The authorities ot the Fire and Police Departments will exercise all possible vigilance, but thoy will be grateful for such assistance as oan be obtained from those moit immediately interested. Over the public stores a stricter watch than usual must be kept. Where one watch, man has bsen employed, let two or three be engaged. If necessary special policemen might be swom in to guard this especial property at night.

The Chief Engineer has a splendid force of firemen under his command. The Department can guard us against any ordinary danger, but this emergency is extraordinary. A personal inspection was made yesterday of the hydrants, by the chief engineer, and all is in readiness. Bu' the duty of the firemen is to put out fires, and not to guard against their occurence. Even the ordinary causes of fires ought to be more strictly guarded against than usual.

We have undoubtedly bad and desperate men near ns, if not among us, and an accidental fire might give them the opportunity they are possibly waiting for. Let it be understood that the danger is not in the heart of the city, but along our river front. Here is where additional safeguards are required. The subject, which we have deemed it proper barely to hint at, may doserte the attention of the civic authorities. Five hundred dollars spent in prevention may save a loss which millions cannot make good.

iobn Mitchrll and the Richmond Press. John Mitchell has got up a little row on his own account, in Richmond. There appears to be plenty of fighting southward now to satisfy the most belligerent, but there is a lack of individuality about the conflict which divest3 it oi the chivalrous feeling which John Mitchell proposes to impart to his own little quarrel. Mitchell is one of the editors of the Richmond Ee aminer, and if he fights half as well as he writes, ho must be an ugly customer in a single hand encounter. In the Rebel Congress, it appoars Ex Governor Foote, of Mississippi, offered resolutions looking to re construction; a writer in the Examiner, supposed by Foote to be Mitchell, proposed that Foote should be expelled for iQisloyalty.

Foote retaliated in some way not made public, and Mitchell proposed to take a chance of getting rid of the Governor by putting a bnllet through him in a chivalrous, single hand combat. Mitchell chose as hisjlriend Judge Swan, a member of the rebel congress, from Mississippi; Swan called on Foote in the friendliest way to say that he had a little note" for him, Foote did not like the letter carrier; and jvos pleased to say that he could not reeognize hint as a gentleman. To assnre tho ex Governor that he vas mistaken on this point Swan seized a chair and shuck Foote with, if on the head. The assault itself is not complained of eo much as are the circumstances under which it was committed. Mrs.

Foote, it appears, was present, and "the saeredncss of the bedcham kcr" was invaded by the impulsive Swan. In the "sacred" bedchamber, Foote kept a pistol with which he would have taken "a crack" at Swan, had not the latter taken a hasty leave. The upshot of the quarrel was that all tho parties implicated were brought before the Mayor ot Richmond, and bound over to keep tho peace. The principals in the quarrel are old enough to have better sense. Foote must be nearly sixty years of age; he has been out" several times in the course an eventiul life, and we believe carries about with him a warning to duelists in the shape of a leg rendered almost useless in a dueL Mitch, ell is over fifty years of ago, and has led the Stormiest sort oi life.

On the opening of his career, he joined the National party in Ireland and did all in his power to incite an insurrec' tion for the liberation of Ireland. He was ar rcsted by the agents of the government tried, convicted and transported for sedition.

A special meeting of the Board of Supervisors as held on Saturday, for the purpose of talcing mea mires to correct the enrollment in anticipation for anotbC er eall troops, in accordance with tho recraest of Provost Marshal General Fry, and the proclamation of Governor Seymour, both heretofore published. Gen. President of the Board, presilod, and in opening the business tor which tho meeting was called, remarked that Gen. Fry bad caried on him and request cl biin to impress upon tho of the members of the board tbe nec sHity of having tho rolls corrected. Every man's name now on who was Dotcntitled to ho dialled, helped to swell t'ae quota of tho county, while every man whose name should bo on but was not, made the chances worse for thootaers.

It was certain that there were a largo nnmber of liablo mes whose names were rot on tho list, beexuso at the last election the vote polled In King's County was fax lmrger than the en list. Ho offered the followlng.resolution: Whereas, The Governor of the State has issued bis I rociamaticm storing a request front Provoet Hirshal GeLeral Fry, that he wiU take such steps as wlu induce the State, municipal and other local' authoritlQS, as vrell as prominent and influential cilizenSrto co operate with tho United States anthondes in secnrinir an accurate enumeration of tbe parsons liablo to military dut in. the etverai military districts of this State.

3. Ilesolvcd, That the BospecHve Supervisors of the w.rds of the city of Brooklyn be directed ta aid, in conjunction with the respective Aldermen of such wards. 4.

That ail persons now onrolicd who are not subject to military duty bo carefully reported with the thereof, and all persons not enrolled but now liable to druit bo noted. Sup. Osborne moved to add to the resolution that all necessary expenses incurred be made a county expense, Hu remarked that his experience in his ovrn ward during the last time tho enrollment was beinc oorrected, showed him that, no matter bow much trouble an alderman or tTipervisor took to appoint a place lor hearing claims for exemption, and advertising it, it was impoasible to got the ptople to attend so as to do the work in. a thorough umuue. xuuw wuu naa xoai cause tor exainpaon wunla not come because they said to themselves: "lam exfrupt.

at a "Tbe Fortune of Misfortune." A fair, but not largo audience, assembled on Saturday evening at the Atheneum to listen to the second lecture of Mr. Cordova. The subject chosen, the Fortune of Misforune, was treated in the narrative stylo usual to thie lecturer, and was jillnstrated by six tableaux something new1 in lestnring. A curtain was arranged on tha stage, whioh was drawn aside given signals, presenting a series of tableaux, some ofj which were rather effective; the major portion, however, were spoiled for want of proper light. The lecturer began by introducing to the audience, David Griggsby, born in New York city, notwithstanding the general beUef that anyone who amounts to anything most hail from New England.

His parents were of that well known class, poor but honest Hiafather; cartman, found great difficulty in meeting his meat, and footing bis boot bills; so very eariv in life ffivirl went into a seedstore, where he engineered the brooms, lamps and keyholes with a fair degree ot skui. ne remained six weeks there, when the seed spouted him into a grocery store in Greenwich street. Finally he reached the added dignity of the dry goods trade; but this did not suit mm and ne xeiumeu wi xi aia ui i aaa coffee, where, as the vears went.by, the demon of profits taught him to believe in many mre and worse. His success at twenty five had been such that he was enabled to give the deceased cartman, his father, a funeral so magnificent that all metropolitan cartdom opened its eyes in wonder. Heal estate speculations which took a successful turn followed, so that at eight and twentv Griggsby became an opulent ship owner.

Tlie retail grub came out with, the wholesale butterfly; the wnggle of the tadpole of poverty was changed into tho stateliness of the He married Miss Lucy Jenks, a lady from the middle walks of Success met him on every hand until he became the great merchant prince to whom all the commercial world cringed and bowed. There was, however, one exception: Mr. Boky, a blunt, honest man, would not flatter him; he insisted that Griggsby was weak as a merchant to tenst his luck in commercial matters. Miles Swingheart and Bloksly fawned upon him, but Eokey would not, aun finally they became enemies when Griggsby made a proposition to ruin a rising young merchant named Pinkman. This latter was oinpelled to suspend, ernshed by the weight of Griggsby's immense wealth and opposition.

Then a change came over Griggsby; all went wrong, lie grew nervous and bard; his ships wero lost, his speculations resulted disastroaaly and finally the money king was obliged to saspend bnsiness. Then came the trial of nis. lite; ho called in his creditors to anncanca has iuin; Miles, Swingheart and Blobely abused him for they were losers by him. Boky and Pinlram showed good qualities and sought to help him. About ttas time lecturer first knew Griggsby.

He lived with his wife and daughtar Emily in Ninth street; was President of the Fitzziboug Insurance Company, on a salary of $3,000 per annum, and yet he was unhappy for the idol which he had worshipped had fallen. Jack Pickum was quite intimate with the family, and the lecturer used to entertain tho old folks while Jack and Emily played something they called chess, each game of which was almost inteimuiablo. They finally mated themselves for life, however, and don't, play chess iny more. When these things vrere 1 Mr Giiggsby had a. meam ia whi'eh a series of or gaux were presented to his mind, and ho seemed to see his future career.

Wuile sitting one December night, discontentsd and crabbed at his lot, he fellsleep in his parlor with his wife' at work" on a sewing machine, and Emily pretending to read while she was really thinking of where Jack Piukum could possibly be. Ah, thought he, there are only two happy conditio as in this life. The educated man must have money, or else his wants make hqm miserable; the poor man only can be happy when ignorant. Then Mr. Cordova, like Seward, tinkled his little bell, and the curtain, was drawn, showing himself asleep, his wife at the machine, and Emily busily en caced in not reading.

A few lines by Mr. Cordova, to the sound of a sorrowful voiced violin, served as an explanation of this tabUau, intended to illustrate the value of content. Again the vision changed; the curtain was drawn, and the audience saw Griggsby as he saw himself in dream. Again he was the opulent merchant, again Miles, Blakeby and Swingheart fawned oa him, while Boky and Pinkum endeavor to save him as before. The nest vision showed Griggsby in a state of poveity, with his wife and daughter poorly clad.

The fourth change showed the family as occupants of a tenement house. Then came the family in rags, and Griggsby himself begging a few coppors from Miles and Swingheart. The next tableau vivant showed the old man weeping over her father, dead of destitution, and iying in the streets. At last Griggsby awoke, and so impressed was he with the visions that he thereupon concluded that money was not the only thing needtd. He became happy, satisfied that his life was not so very miserable after all.

This was the fortune ot his misfortune, for it taught him to look above himself for a higher life. Then came good luok; among his assets when he failed were lands in Michigan and Minnesota, then worthless; now tney had become valuable, and Griggsby found himself rich. Mr. Griggsby then was at last ali right, and the lecture closed witn a tameau snowmg tne wedding ot Jack Pinkum and Emily Griggsby.

Lust evening, the Second Anniversary of the Missionary Association of the Sabbath School connected with LafhyetteA venue Presbyterian Church (Kev.

Dr. Cuyler's) was celebrated at the church edifice on Lafayette avenue, corner Oxford street. This meeting together of members of the gospel, of sabbath school missionaries, and of sabbath school teachers and scholars with their parents, relatives and friends, to review their past years' work; to learn what they have done towards spreading bible truth, with its civiliz ing influences, where it was needed; to hear from the lips of the missionaries themselves how the work is being accomplished, and to start afresh en the labors of another year, presented several points well worthy of record. It showed the power and the vitality of Chris tianity, and the immense amount of good whioh can be effected, under proper management, through the agency of Sabbath Schools. The church, last evening, was crowded to its utmost capacity.

There could not have been less than persons present, of whom about 800 were children and teachers of tlie Sabbath School. But few who were present could look without emotion upon that full regiment of sabbath school children lighting up tho gallery with their pleasant faces; or listen to them singing.

One of the most interesting featuues in the exercises w6 the presence of the Eev. Charles Parker, from Kansas, and of Stephen Paxrfon, the veteran ftabbathjichool pioneer in the far West.

Both of those gentlemen delivered characteristic addresses, and described with a grim, pictvjoscrae vigor their labors in tho States of IUinois and Kansas. They are both in tho prime and vigor of manhood, and it strikes one at a glanco that they were born for mission work.

The case has not yet boen ex ammea, A Fl maus "Peeler." C. W. fc R. Lake man, the enterprising bill posters, of Tillary street, this morning preferred a complaint before Justlco Perry against Margaret Welch, agod 25, and a house keeper by profession, for malicious mischief. It appears that Margaret on Saturday aftemon while walking up Fulton Street and avenue, busied herself by tearing down all tbe bills hu could hud osted on the fences.

Mrs. Wall is a very good looking young lady end oiuce ber marriage hud never seen her husband until Friday. Judge Boerum has sec tho dowu for Tuesday. Colored Bigamy. The colored race will imitate white people; they have that monkey trait very stroDgly marked, and turough this may perhaps crawl up to serene intellectual heights imagine 1 by politicians whoee stock in trade consists uf sentimentality and hair.

Betsey Johnson, however, appears to be crawling in the wrong direction. On Saturday last Betsey Atiti was orrested'in the Eastern District and taken before Justice Walter. This enterprising oolorod lady appears to have laid herself liable to the charge of bigamy. Her unwomanly conduct ia comprised in marrying a man named McClcmons while her first colored true love and huBband is yet in tho land ot tbe living. On her ex anriBation this second marriage was clearly proven, and Judge Walter sent the sorrowful Betsey Ann to jail to await the action of the Grand Jury, not heeding her plea of extenuation, which was that as her Benjamin failed to HUpport her she supposed by virtue of tho emancipation piocluniation, she could do as she chose, and, thercforo, had married MrClemons to get her support.

Her support is now secured for to xe Umo, so that stie need not trouble her mind any more at present. T)i8TtntBiNG Colored Devotions.

Knowing the frailty of human nature as wo all do, it is remarkable how unsuspicious tha majority of mankind are.

When they read of some confidence game being played upon a countryman, who makes the thousand and tenth victim of the patent safe swindle, city folks say, how green couutry people are, to be taken by such an old trick, why don't they read the newspapers; and many very good peo. pie who have full faith their own wisdom, and have no toleration for such simplicity, say, served him right." but the confidence operators are not all in the patent safe business and their victims ore not all from Peoria. Our shrewd city folks are sometimes taken ia, and lobbed right under their noses, by dodges as simple and transparent as the pocket bock dropping or patent safe business. Oar police reports during the past few dnys have detailed the operations of a young woman, who calls herself Mrs. BrHgst Hamilton, who has been I'Ursuirig a career of robbery for three years and a half, ancVUas been bui re eijnll.v detected for the first time.

Tho proceeds of her robberies foot up to thousands of dollars, and but a trifling portion of tho goods she has stolen have been recovered. Her mode ol operations was simplicity itself, requiring only assurance on the part of the operator, aud a perfect confidence in the unsuspecting nature of people generally. Mrs, Uamilton who is described as quite young, prepossessing and lady like in appearance, dcess and manners, walks into any house she may select, being provided with keyn she usually lets herself in; She is prepared to open any amount of closet doois. or bureau drawer locks, and. makes her selection of jewelry and wearing apparel and walks off.

She is liable to meet, and frequently does meet with the oo enpants of the houses she visits, and here is the point where the credulity of people is played npon. Mrs. H. inquires If Mrs. So and so does not live there; of course the lady mentioned is unknown; then the visitor has mistaken the embarrassing.

She is so collected, so natural in her confusion, so lady like in her apologies, the lady of the house is disarmed of all suspicion. Occasionally the confidence lady is struck with admiration of the baby.and what mother could resist this And so this woman has gone on for three years and a half in this city and New York, robbing house after house, encountering scores of people in their own houses, and imposing on them in every instance by her sublime assurance. For the details of her operations, as they are developed, we must refer to our Police column. There is a large amount of property, chiefly wearing apparel, lying at the Station House still unclaimed. Each day brings forward some new victim, with a story to tell of how she was taken in by this adroit thief, and each story adds to the interest of the case, and illustrates the aus centibility of man and womankind to be imposed upon by their fellows.

It is not, necessary now for us to undertake to deduce a moral from this most flagrant casj, and lecture our renders upon the advisability of handing over to the policeman any stranger they may catch in their houses. Everybody is no doubt very wide awake to this peculiar dodge, since this case has been published, and there is no danger of a successful repetition of the trick at present. The light fingered fraternity are as well aware oi this as anybody, and they are not fools enough to resort to a dodge, which, to imitate Mr. Lincoln's classi cality of expression, is "played out." They will, like prudent managers, introduce something new, some shrewd dodge, which the public is not np to. The detection of Mrs.

Hamilton will simply involve a change of base, the abandonment of alinemado untenable by itj exposure. There is an amount of inventive nlent engaged in tho predatory profession, quite discouraging to honest people, there is no telling what they will be at next. Etsr vigilance is the price of secufitj. the lit York ltmes gives currency to the report that Judgo Davis, of niinois, will be appointed Chief Justice. If this is true it will make a row in the camp.

The radicals want Ckase, and say so pretty plainly. WHAT THE BUOOELVN WaB JTunD CoMMET" xek Have Eone.
