A Conveit's ilecon version.
A SON OF MRS. IIEMANS BENONVKRTED TO PROTEST
ANTISM.
The conversion to Catholicism of Mr. Charl-s
Ileiiians bou of the poetess, was aunouncod
many yean ago. The ram correspondent oi
the Loudon Guardian states that Mr. llemans
has lccently returned to the Kualish Church,
and edtls: "When he tirt went over to Rome
Mr. Ileiuans exhibited all the terveut zeal ot a
new convert. He spent at least ten years In
Rome, during which he pub.ished, a lew years
ago, 'Catholic Italy and her Sanctuaries.' He
hyp an a careful investigation ot the monuments
Ot Rome, beginning with those of the classical
and Pagan period, and then proceeding tj the
catacombs and early Christian monument". He
entered on the latter field of study with the
fullest persuasion that what he t und there
would only strengthen und deepen his already
strong and tervent attachment to tbe Roman
system. The result ot patient, ion-continuea.
and earnest investigation has in a striking
manner led htm to the directly opposite conclu
sion. Mr. Hemans is, I believe, at preseut
enaragf d on a work in which he will fully set
forth the conclusions ue has arrived at, ana his
mounds lor them. Meanwhile. I am permitted
to oiler you tor publication iv letter addressed by
him to a friend on the suoiect, in which he
states briefly the motives which have actuated
bis conduct. Tbe contents can, I think, scarcely
be otherwise than tnterestingto buglish church
men. Tbey are as follows:
' 'Rr v. and Dear Sir: In reference to the step
I have lately taken in leaving the communion
ot the Roman Catholic Church, it has seemed
to rue that, aB in regard to such solemn ques
tions the experience of every mind may be
worthy of attention, a simple statement ot my
motives may not be uninteresting. Having
been induced, during the many years spent by
me at Konie, to examine into tne evidences ot
Christian antiquity in the range of catacomb
monuments, and having approached that study
with a strong sense ot the value of these primi
tive records us .the incorrupt aud pure expres
sion ot tbe mind ot tho ancient Church, I nave
been finally lea to see that between tbe picture
of a past reality there presented and the actual
religious practice of Rome exists an opposition
atle'cling essentials an irreconcilability, in
short, which I believe no amount of ingenious
erudition, nor arsumeutation or sophistry, can
either explain away or harmonl.e. Without
entering into controversy, tor which I have
neither taste nor vocation, I may indicate two
points especially which 1 believe to be con
demned, in their Roman Ca'holic acceptance,
bv the testimony ot tnoso anient monuments
the idea ot an absolute earthly headship to
which all netm aud prerogative converge in
the succes-or of S Peter; aud the worship.
under whatever niod'iicittion, ot creatures, itu
pljinir, of course, that so prominent lu the
Roman system, el which the Blessed Virgin Is
the object totally wuntiiu the support, and
repugnunt to the senae, ot the evidences de
ducible from the range of catacomb art and
epigraphy.
" 'I must own that other consid .'rations, for
instance, tn reward to tbe Papacy as an inststu
tion of government, spirit lal and temporal, and
the principles lately avowed by it, in a manner
so emphatic; have had their w'enrht with me in
leadiugto a decision so impartaul; but it is,
above all, that body of monumental proots so
strikmely Illustrative of the past, aud which
Rome herself 1 so wisely careful to preserve
and studious to investigate, that has so influ
enced me as to cause my abandonment of a re
ligious prole-slon In which I no lontier found
peace of mind or intellectual satisfaction. Not
thele.-sdol still appreciate aud value much
that is beautiful, holv, and useful In the system
I have thus declared myself aaainst, and I must
coutime to believe that Rome has a great task
assigned to her tor the furtherance of Christian
clvilWioa. Much, however, that presents
itself to the attention, in the course of a long
residence at tbat centre, leads t least has led
me to the painful conviction that it is rather
the zeal for the interests of a potent system than
a pnre uncomproaiising love of truth, by which
her ecclesiastical ddIicv is animated, though
assuredly many pure and truth loving minds
are, ana perhaps ever win oe, iouna ainunir uci

The preliminaries of the great Convention are
in lull blast today. If a person drops in at the
Continental Hotel he will bo presented to a
scene of excitement and contusion ouch as is
rarely encountered, even In a city of the size of
ours. The vestibules, rotundas, and parlors of
the hotel are crowded with strausers, and every
one is a delcga'.e or an alternate to the Conven
tion. A large number of arrivals were nnuounce.l
at early us Saturday; aud by noon to day there
were probably no les than twelve hundred
on hand, with more arriving on every train
lrom the North, South, East, and West. The
headquarters of the National Executive Com
mittee are at the Continental, and therefore
all the delegates make it a point to gather there
for the purpeso ot talking over the
momentous questions which they expect
to discuss in the Conveut'ou. These dis
cussions, as a ueneral thing, have thus tar been
conducted with a great deal of good temper,
and au uppurcut desire to provoke' none but the
kindliest feelings on all siues. There are vague
ruruoiB that something more serious may bo
expected to occur bejoru the wck is over, but.
we can trace (hem to uo reliable source.
Thus far the t.vo leading questions which have
received the into?inul attention of the delegates
are those allcctiug the status ot Vullandiglumi
and those of that ilk in the Convention, aud a
proposition to exclude not only Vallaudlartiiim
aud his lrllow peace men of the North, but all
(southerners ho were originally Becesslousts.
There is a strong leeling perceptible arnonz
dcleearfs from all quurters of tho couutry
agniust Vallandigham, Wood, Bteler, and the
other lending iiuti-wur Democrats. Several of
tlie most promi uent among tiie extreme s jutherii
men advocate their exclusion, tearing that If it
is not oone the whole atl'air will end iu smoke,
it not in a row.
t.eneral Sieadman, of Ohio, it is said, will
oiler a i evolution, as soon as theCouventioa has
been organized temporarily, which will provide
for the exclusion of all orignul secession
ists and all Northern sympathizers with
the Rebellion. The chances lor the pas
sage of such a resolution are quite goo J,
aud, it is believed, are iucrea--iuir. Even Gov
ernor Orr, ot South Carolina, and other leading
men of his stamp, are baid to tavor this scheme
in a hearty manner, it this motion prevails, a
lai ee hole may be looked lor in the very centre
ot the Convention.
The question ot the Presidency of the Covcn-
tiou I also attracting a great deal of comment.
For some weeks past, it had beeu generally con
ceded that the most appropriate name lor the
chairmanship was that ot the Hon. Thomas
Ewing, ot uhio. But Mr. Ewinehas not arrived,
aud is not expected to be here at all.
In his absence, the delegates appear to be
pretty evenly divided between Winthrop and
Asbmun, ot Massachusetts; General Dix, ot N3W
loik: Cidonel Thon.as B. Florence, of this city;
aud George Francu Train, "ot Nebraska." Tram
and Florence are understood to be rival candi
dates, aud ate directiuc their canvass more
especially against each other. Tiam is strainiu"
every nerve, and the world need not be at all
astonished it he comes out of the contest vic
torious. Many of the great guns who were expected to
lend dignity and force to the Convention will
be absent. Besides Eiog, it is understood that
Pendleton aud Allen, ot Ohio, and Prauic Bla'r,
ot Missouiljwill tail to come to time. Mont
gomery Blair, however, is here, and hard at
work. This morning, at 11 o'clock, he went
Into an informal caucus, with Postmaster
General Randall and Secretary Browning, to
determine upon the programme tor toiuorrow.
As ihe Wigwam willj probably not he in con
dition lor occupancy iu time, it is thought that
there will not be a formal opening of the con
vocation until Wednesday morning, although
the delegates will probably meet informally
to-morrow morning. This afternoon, at tour
o'cloc', the Stars and Stripes will be uufurled
from tho giant flag-stall' which pierces the root
of the V igwam.
Among tho most noticeable delegates who
are kuowii to be in the city at present are
Governors Orr aud Ferry of South Carolina, and
i'arsous ot Aiuoma, lienerais etepneu u. Lee
of Virginia, McCalmout of Pennsylvania, Geo.

Letter lrom William Cornell Jewctt.
A UNIQUE SUGGESTION.
eVMrWWWVWrWV
The New York Tribune publishes a special
despatch from Philadelphia relative to a letter
from William Cornell Jewctt, on the subject of
the Convention. The letter we give In full, it,
having been placdatour disposal. Th sug
gestion it makes Isjeenainly original. It will,
we fear, meet with but a feeble response:
COTIKENTAL HOTKL, i
Philadelphia, Augrust 12, lS.iO i
To I'rrsiilent Johnson, $e.ntor Cow in, Diolittle,
and Delegates to Auyuat Convention:
In this Independent corrmunication I design no
abuse of the radical power now controlling nor of
your body. Its object is simply au earnest appoal
to your judgments as aiBtinguishud public men; in
fact, with no more power than any other bady of
tho people ot like number, except so far as tnat
power Is boiieetly dovotcd to the attainment of the
rights of the entire peop.'e that is, a restoration of
the Government of our fathers, uuder patriot gui-
dauce, without slavery a platform the people,
when leeillmat ly roprosoutod, can alone adopt
to triumph over all combinations of mou who moot
either as wielding tho power of conqueror, over
tho South, or as repi csentutives of old organizations.
Had tho Pre.-ldent, Scuator Cowan, auu Senator
Duohttlo tho recoiru'zed and responsible loaders of
the August Convention have issued a call tor tho
people ol all sec ions to assemble, for the purposo of
eeltcliner commit iron to scud delegates to a Conven
tion from the commercial, agricultural, ecioutiflo and
other i. ursuie of hie, the Couvontion would prove
a buccees. for the Convention would thon have bjon
m uieupof patnotio mou, all for country, one motive
control inn; the Iramori of her constitution, aud not
as now, ot men entirely devoted to the attainment
ot selfish and political ends tno motive control
dmrtthe unwise counsel that overcame the laudable
purposes of President Linculn, troiu his nutortjnate
wcukm ss in a waut of .lauksonian tlrmness of cha
racter. Had this policy have been adopted, I wood not
as tho only known rono;nizod leader of tho proposed
December Convention, for independent Prosidontial
nominations have entered a protest acainit your
Convention, tlirouuh the Low York 'Jribune, aud
would have in place published a transfer of a con
trolling power 1 now hold over tho LVcomber Con
vention to Suua'ors Cowan and Doolittle, as the
most suitable pub iu men to load a people's move
ment, independent ot politicians, public mou, or
(arty.
Iho special object of this appeal is to suj;ij.ist a
policy that will g:vc a practical character to tho de
liberations of your body in convention, that is
tl.rouf h a resolution, merging yourselves into the
peiple, and under a patriotio and candid acknow
ledgment that tho war still exists between the North
and South, under oniy a Bunpoa-iou or hostilities;
that the American republic is upon the ver.?e of
ruin; tbat to restoro permanent peaoo, the harmany
of tho States, aud tho pe; petuity of the republic, the
peop e must assemble throughout the Stales, and
send delegates to a tutuiu convention.
Lot this be dono, and tbe December Convention
fer its object will then have beeu attained passes
into yours, and the radical power now controlling
will bo confined to ibe individual power of
the radical public men of the day.
Do it net. 1 ho people neglecting an independent
movement, the radical power will prove a powei fu
opposition to you, in tho m;d-t of a civil war North
that may secure tbe inuetiyity and involuntary in.
deixrudenco of the South, under the downfall ot
liberty. Wm. Cobnkll Jkwett.
Tbe Presidential Trip to Chicago.
The proeramme for tbe Presidential trip to
Chicago has been filtered by omitting Saratoga
from the list of stoppiug places. Tho railroad
time-table tor the trip as no jv arraneed, takes
the party from Wa?hington, in the 730 morning
train on Tuesday, August 28, arriving at Phila
delphia ut 1-3(1 o'clock, P. M. Tho party remain
in that city until 8 o'clock the next morning,
Wednesday, when they leave for New York,

day, Auguft 13. Leave New York via Il idsou
Biver steamer in the morning, and arrive at
Albany in th( evening. Friday, August 31,

bility that Postmaster General Randall and
Secretary McCul loch maybe ot the company.
The maeniticent pasenirr car built for Mr. Lln
con Is to convey the Presidential party through
the trip.
How long Mr. Johnson will remain ia Chicago is
not determined, but not over two days pro
bably. He has been urged to visit Madi
son, Wisconsin, after lie gets throuarh at Chi
caco, aud he will no doubt accept the invita
tion. Returning to Washington, it is under
stood, tho President will come via Indianapolis.
Ciucinnati, Columbus and Pittsburgh. It
Is also underfatool that on the trip from
Now York to Albany the party will stop at
West Point, where there will be a military
review and a collation served up. General
McCallum, who formerly had charge of tne
military railroads, is to have the conduct of the
transportation, and H. A. Chadwick, Esq., of
Willard's Hotel, is to take charge of the pro
visioning and quartering of the party along the
route. The ladies ot the White House and of
Mr. Seward's family are to be oi the company.

Brigandagb in Turkey. An illustration of
brlgandaee is reported from (Jheive, near
lsiuidt, Turkey. A le weeks ago a band, which
has long been the terror ot tho district, seized a
leading man ol tbat villuae, and held him in
ransom for forty thousand piastres. The money
was raised and taken by the brother of the
captive to ihe spot Indicated, but, instead of the
hitter being set tree, the messenger was himself
seized, and a further sum of the same amount
demanded lor his release, failing which It was
intimated by the ruffians that both prisoners
should be put to death. Thereupon the family
set the author. ties upon tbe track of the baud,
nnd a party was sent in pnrvuit. The br'gands
defeated their assailants, aud on the following
morning the corpses ot the t wo brothers were
tound iu the principal street of Ghleve.
Natural Gas. The Inhabitants of Baku, on
the Caspian Sea, have recently made use of the
emanations of carburetted hydrogen gas from
the waters tor lighting purposes. The gas is
collected by means ot large tunnel-mouthed
tubes, which are attached to lloatins rafts and
dip some feet into the water. Baku was tbe
sacred city of the Guebres, or Fire-worshippers,
and tbe neighborhood abounds with naphtha
springs and "blowers," which consist ot streams
ot inflammable gas issuing from tbe ground.
The most extensive of thesi '-blowers" Is known
by the name of tho "perpetual fire," and is
situated some miles to the northeast, ot Baku.
It is an object of great veneration, and is said
never to have been extinguished.
