STEWS TO AUGUST 26, FROM SEW YORE AND WASHINGTON. By the Panama, Captain Soule, from San Francisco, we (Sydney Morning Herald) have California papers to August 28; and telegraphic news from New York and the Capitol, to the 26th of the month. The following are from the United Press messages of the evening Bulletin and Daily Alta California. Chicago, August 25.—Fu1l telegraphic cor* respondence between the authorities at Washington and the authorities at New Orleans, before and concerning the Convention which was dispersed by the riot of July 30th, including Sheridan’s despatches, about which there has been much scandal, is now published. The correspondence is very lengthy, and covers many important despatches not before publicly known. Chicago, August 24.—Several removals have been made of soldiers, appointed during the present summer, who do not support the President’s policy. A circular from Randall is circulating among all Federal office-holders, big and little, categorically demanding their views, and a great many indignant answers have been published, followed by instant decapitation.

The Indiana Republican State Central Committee have appointed a delegation to the Southern Unionists Convention, including Governor Morton, Senator Lane, Thomas H. Nelson, Richard W. Thomson, William M'Kee Dunne, Liutenant-Governor Conrad Baker, &c. The following appeal to Southern Unionists is published:— “To the Loyal Hearts of the Nation: Ninety years ago our fathers proclaimed a theory of government founded on protection to the rights of the citizen. On the sth day of September, it is proposed to hold a grand mass meeting in the shades of Independence Hall, in the city of Philadelphia, to reassert the doctrines of our ancestors. All who believe with our fathers that the constitutional rights of the citizen are first and paramount objects of republican government are cordially invited to attend. The three hundred thousand Union defenders from the South, who stand in the ranks of the Union army, send greetings to brave , veterans of the North through our representative delegates to the Convention of Southern Unionists. We send a hearty invitation for our comrades in a common cause to meet us on this spot made sacred to liberty. Come one come all; come in the uniform of blue ; come as you came to the South on the great mission to relieve it from the despotism of unsurping traitors; come as you came when you caused the hearts of depressed Unionists to leap with joy at the reappearance of the old flag upheld by strong hands and brave deeds. Let the Unionists of the North and South come together and renew the pledge to sustain liberty, order, and law.”

The Crows are said to have torn their treaties to pieces and murdered ten men.

Chicago, August 23.—A Washington special despatch says that representatives of Democrats from ail the Northern States have called upon the President within the past five days, and unanimously concur in the recommendation made by the New Hampshire delegation to the Philadelphia Convention, that the Federal offices be bestowed upon Conservative Bepublicans only. The Democrats do not ask for office, but request Mr Johnson io remove such officers as oppose the policy of the Administration or abuse the President personally. It may be added that the Democrats are not applicants for preferment, and os yet none have been appointed. The Napoleon, eight guns, has left Pensacoola for Tampico, in accordance with instructions founded on the President's proclamation with regard to the war blockade. The Governors of the several Northern States will either themselves attend the Convention of Southern Unionists at Philadelphia in peson, or will send delegations to speok on behalf of their State.

Washington, August 22.—Appointments to office of those wlio support the President’s policy are being made in Daily increasing numbers—chiefly under the Internal Revenue Bureau. The Treasury Department has received a draft on Baring Brothers, England, for £11.844, being the proceeds of the sale of the Confederate privateer Shenandoah. The President has directed a pardon to issue to Charles M. Conrad, late member of the rebel Congress. The question of Jeff. Davis’s health is again much agitated and Mrs Davis’ has written to a friend in Georgia that he will surely die in a few months. Assistant-Surveyor-General Crane has been sent to Fortress Monroe to make a full investigation, and has had long interviews with the prisoner, but with what rsesult will not be known until officially promulgated. A letter from Secretary Seward to Minister Killpatrick, at Chile, is published, setting forth the policy oi the United States concerning wars in adjoining Republics. He says:— We maintain that the republican system which is accepted in any one of these States shall not be wantonly assailed; that it shall not be subverted as an act of lawful war by European Powers. In wavs -waged between nations in frienship with ourselves, if they are not pushed, like the French war in Mexico, to the political point mentioned we do not intervene. Spain assured us that she would not carry her war with Chile to that point, and we are ready now and henceforth to hold Spain to this agreement if found necessary.” Mr Seward at some length shows that this policy is one of strict neutrality and friendship, and one which has governed the United States from the time of Washington. Pottsville, Pa, August 22.—General James Nagle, the hero of the Mexican and the late war, died this morning. New York, August 22.—The cholera is rapidly disappearing here and in the Western cities.
