" I 4 //GU, Of U 0 MOde in which a loyal silt zen may so well denimtstrate his acrotion to his country a.: Ly sustaiking Ike Flag Ike Constitution anal tke Uition, touter all circlnn- stances., and UNDER EVERY ADMINISTRATION REGAIIIILE . IS OF PARTY POLITICS, AGAINST AL! A STS, AT ROME AND ABROAD." A. PoucbAs The Ameudment in the South. The Mississippi Legislature met in Jackson, on the 16th inst., when Gov. Humphreys transmitted his message to the body. In speaking of the Con stitutional Amenthnent, which ho said had been sent to them for their action IT Secretary Seward, he said : "This amendment, adopted by a Con• gress of less than three-fourths of the States of the - Union, in palpable viola tion of the rights of more than one iOurth of the States, is such an insult ing-Outrago and denial of the equal rights of so many of our worthiest cit izens who have shed lustre and glory upon our section and our race, both in the forum and in tho field, such a gross usurpation of the rights of the State, and such a centralization of power in the Federal Government that I pre sume a mere reading, of it will cause its rejection by you." If the above sentiments prove to be the rule by which to guide the people of the South, we think it will fail in its effect. The Governor may be honest in saying worthy citizens have shed lustre and glory upon their section in the field, if we understand him to re fer to the bravery of the Southern troops, but he forgets that the people of the North will not and can not see it in the same light. The North will not believe that the South shed lustre On the Nation. Rovever unconstitutional it may up pear, yet the South must consider what is the proper course to pursue. If they persist in refusing the overtures which our people have inflicted upon them, then they may look for worse, as they may by their obstinacy only lead the many to follow the negro suffrage, confiscating agitators, who are now in the minority. We feel confident Gov. Humphrey's plan won't work, even if ho does appeal to Southern chivalry to rcifiember its lustrous deeds at Bull Run and the Peninsula. Southern chivalry we think, hasn't forgotten Gettysburg and Petersburg, and the strains of NortherL bugles playing "On to Richmond" still rings in their ears. WOMEN TO VOTE.—Tho question of women voting, like negro voting, it ap pears, will have to be definitely settled. While the policy and impolicy of ne. gro voting is being assiduously ar gued; the matter of "woman's rights" also comes on apace. A petition to the next legislature is being circulated in this neighborhood asking for an amend ment to our State Constitution grant ing this privilege to women. We fIYO led to think our women are at the head of thisproject, and if we were asked to assign a reason we would feel safe in attributing it to the fact that they feel themselves just as good as negroes; and being authoritatively cognizant of the truth that a certain faction is aim ing to confer the suffrage on the negro, they are equally solicitous in urging a party to advocate their rights as well. Keep the ball in motion, and if we don't get in a pretty kettle of fish we won't know why. We are already led to predict the day when in this town we will have three voting rendezvous —one for white men, another for white women, and a third for black men, and we might as well add a fourth one for black women: Let 'em come; bet ter now than again. THANKSGIVING DAY.—The President has appointed Thursday, the 29th of, November next, to be observed as a day of National Thanksgiving. It is well that we as a people should devote this day to giving thanks to Him who rules over us, and who has guided us through the storm of war, and who has so graciously attended to our daily warits by making the ground to reward abundantly the labor of the tiller. We have reason to thank the Almighty that the direful cholera has not made deadly inroads into our population, as it bas in eastern climes. While wo have much else for which to be thank• ful, in the spirit of the proclamation we should implore that wisdom and har mbny should reign in our national councils, and that our rulers should be filled with that knowledge to the glory of the nation. Let us hope and pray that undivided peace shall speedily come within our borders, and that true Christian forbearance and forgiveness and justness shall characterize all our people. q-eary's Majority Geary's official majority in the State is 17,045 large enough for all useful purposes, in a vote. of 596,219. The full vote for Governor in 1863 was 513,677—Curtin's majority 15,3211. ft - rA,severe storm recently occur ed on the Southern coast in•.which many vessels were destoycd, amongst them the Evening Star, which sunk with two hundred persons on board. Other vessels barely escaped destruc tion, and had to come back to port. Threatened Trouble in Maryland, WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 1806 The threatened troubles in Mary land aro exciting the deepest interest. A collision between - the State and local authorities of Bultitnore looks immi nent. Several organizations have al ready tendered their services to the latter. Gov. Swan, of Maryland, 'arri ved this morning, and had a protract: ted interview with the President. It is not positively known whether U. S. troops will he tendered him to sustain his course in removing the Police-Com missionerz or not, but the indications are that nothing of the kind will be done. The question at issue is cimply this : The, Police Commis , :oneri; Of Baltimoro appoint the Judges of Dee tions. The Conservative party claim that these officers violated the law in the mohieipal election last week, by funk ing false returns. Affidavits have been laid before the Governor setting forth that in cue preinct forty Conser vative votes were east and oily twen ty two were returned. Governor therefore, claims tee right to remove the Police Commivieners for 11 viola tion of law. his opponents declare that lie is required to do.thin through the Courts, and threaten armed resis tance to any other procedure. The Legislative ticket to be elected in Bal timore controls the Legislature tosueh an extent as to decide, the Senatorial question either for or against a Radi cal, The vote also in Baltimore will settle the way the State will go. For ney in the Chronicle to-day calls on the people of the North to stand in readiness to open the way through Maryland again to the Capitol. The evening Administration paper, here heads its leading article in reply to Forney as follows : "To your tents, 0 Israel ! Imminent danger surrounding —STEI'In us—organize !organize t" BALTIMORE, October 21.—Governor Swann returned late last night from his visit to President Johnson. It;is understood that a compromise has been proposed by parties representing the Government, that the Commission ers should appoint one of the three Judges in each ward, and one Clerk of Elections from the Conservative party. This proposition-is now under consid eration by the Police Commissioners. The Police Commissioners have been in consultation with their counsel anti prominent citizens. It is understood that the Com Missioners will not ap pear in person before the Governor to morrow, but will, through their coun sel, file a response denying the power of the Gov. to try the charges, but at the same time declaring their readi ness to meet the accusations before any Court of competent jurisaiction. The commissioners have not entertain ed any proposition which looks to any comproMise, but declare their determination of resisting any en croachment upon their functions. The Constitutional Amendment. There seems to be a growing _dis position on the part of the people of the South to accept the Constitutional amendment, and thus do away with the pretext afforded to the radicals for hostile legislatiofl towards them on the ground of their alleged intractability. The Charlotteville [Virginia] Chroni cle says :—"The Southern people want rest. To secure it, they would accept the:Constitutional amendment. Guar antee them rest, and every State will ratify the amendment." The Raleigh [North Carolina] Standard calls upon the South "to take this amendment to avoid further and greater evils," while the Charlotte [North Carolina] Dento. eriut prefers the adoption of the propos ed amendment to the "abolishment of our State governments," "enforced ne gro suffrage," and "confiscation." The Newborn Times tells the people that they should now hasten to adopt the Constitutional plan, and thus secure immediate tranquility, and admission into the Union. The Charleston (S. C.) 'Yews is now convinced that there is no other course open to the Southern pen pie, while the Savannah (Ga.) Republi can points to the amendment as the Northern ultimatum, and adds that "nothing more will be required of them." The Now Orleans Picayune is now presenting to its readers from day to day, "practical reflections upon the amendment," wherein the measure is shown to be not so tirjust, and un reasonable a. many are disposed to think it. Within a brief time Southern journals have exhibited a ve'y per ceptible change in tone. The Wreck of tho Evening Star. The vessel named the Evening Star having on board some two or three hundred passengers, while out about two hundred miles' from the Southern coast, encountered a severe gale, which resulted in destroying the Vessel. The following ie a graphic account of the scenes on board and incident to the wreck. FERNANDINA, FLA., Out. 9,1866. Having had an interview with some of the shipuirecked seamen of the ill fated steamship Evening Star, I am enabled to lay before your readers some further details of the dreadful ca tastrophe, involving, as it did, the plunge of some three hundred and fifty persons into a watery grave. The ship is repreSented as having been somewhat injured by a previous mis hap some months ago, of grounding on the Florida reefs, and needed some overhauling to "tighten her up." In th-e next place, the ship was sent to sea with a short complement of seamen, having but six men before the mast, when her complement was from twelve to sixteen. Her firemen were also defi cient., inasmuch as she had "green" or now men at the work, who were unit• ble to stand the hot work, and hard usage of a fireroom. I learn there had been a strike in your, city recently among the coalpassers, and firemen's associations, and by agreement sixty dollars a month was demanded by them, and was refused by the owners or agent. Thereupon a number of new firemen were shipped in their stead at 6 , 10 per month, and the more, experi• cooed and costly ones dispensed with. Captain Knapp is wc!l spoken of by all who survived the dreadful scene as a most efficient commander, and ono who was fully up to his duty on this most trying occasion. His presence of mind and energies wore fully up to the duties of the emergency; but alas that you must record, to the bereaved and the desolate it all availed nothing in the fearful tempest that then raged on the deep. The storm that day (Tuesday) and throughout the succee ding night is described as one of the severest over known on the Atlantic coast. The passengers worked faith fully with the crow in all their efforts to save the ship, and even many ladies engaged themselves to the latest mo ment in the desperate work, and only quailed when the fearful announcement was made by the captain that "the ship must go down !" Thia was-in deed a most awful moment ; ono which no pen can justly describe. Out in mid ocean, companion to the howling tempest, the sea lashrd into fury by the wind which came with the force of some solid substance; there, on a gr6 - at ship, tossed and buffetted about like a child's toy or bubble on the brume, what could they hope for in this wild commotion with only an open rowboat to bear them on ? Some., with clasped hands, stood in mute despair while others raved frantically, and cried out to their companions, "Oh, save me! save !" The mother was seen to press her child closer, and the husband the wife to his bosom. Others ran from the deck into the saloons, and there bent doWn in some corner to await the end. A husband (an army officer) was seen with his devoted wife and two small children, all clasped tightly to gether, and there remained, even when the foaming surge of the angry waves washed through the saloon whore they Were kneeling, and there, in that last embrace, death ckimed the faithful victims. So rapid was the closing scene of this fearful tragedy that two of the ship's boats were never loosed from the davits or moorings on deck, but went clown with the ship. Two of them had been cut loose and efforts made to launch them, but one roll of the ship plunged both, with all who wore near, into the yawning gulf, and the next moment returned them and shattered the *ail bark into atoms against the steamer's side. Another moment and there came a billow, high crested and furious. The devoted ship but partially lifted her stern. The shock of that wave drove through and through the saloons, and with a quiver throughout her tram° she settled to starboard, and the Evening Star was gone forever. This was six o'clock Wednesday morning, October 3d. TIIE TWO LIFE BOATS A few seconds' time were enough to obliterate every appearance that so gallant a ship had gone down with its hundred of precious souls. Nothing, save some broken fragments of timber and hero and there a few human heads served to mark the ill fated spot. Two of the life boats rested upon the waves, and towards them the eyes of drown ing scores were turned. In the midst of the draft stuff, lashed about like de mons of destruction, many found their death, as the severe gashes and bad bruises of the survivors bear witness. I A piece of the hurricane deck and lot house composed the only addition al float on which there was the least prospect of life, and to this frail sup port clung a woman in the wildest en crgy_of despair. The dead body of an other woman restedhiwer - down on a portion of the deck—another wave, and both were swept into the deep. THE EITRUOCILE FOR LIFE Is now in earnest, at mid ocean in a raging son, amid a mass of floating drift, that threatens each moment to give each his death blow, efforts are made to reach the life boats, in which some have secured themselves. In ono of these were eleven men—the captain a lady, five passengers and four sea men. An upset of the boat only a few minutes after the disaster lost the Captain and the lady,Capt. Knapp hav ing been stunned by contact with the floating debris. Tho woman rose out of reach. At length the boats fairly under way, the one which I described with nine men having one oar,a double handful of bread, a bag and a life pre sei•vur. Without one drop of water, no compass, no sextant, no sail and at least two hundred milesfrom the coast of Florida. With a inast, mado of an. oar, a canvass bag cut open for a sail which when spread out was exactly twenty by twenty-six inches ; with a life preserver cut open to assist as a jib, this was the whole moans of navi gating the wide expanse before us,and with only a piece of plank for steering purposes. With these scanty means of subsistance and locomotion, the boat was put before the wind, and with a few upsets on the crests of the seas, our little bark kept on her way, con stantly slipping water in large quan tities, which was bailed out with our hats and so to the cud. On THE SAME DAY our bread failed us, and our thirst in creased fearfully. It was almost more than could be borne. The night of the second day, Thursday, in shippitig a large sea, we had the good fortune to ship also ten small flying fish—a God send—which the men most speedily devoured, and much to their relief: ON FRIDAY, two men cited from exlmqstion and de lirium from drinking largo quantities of salt water. Ono of these wits a Frenchmen, the other a young officer named Dickson, who said ho had re cently graduated at West Point Acad emy, and was on his way to the army in Texas. The bodice were committed to the deep early after death. On Sat urday afternoon, only a few hours be fore making the light, another pas• songer died, named MoKimm, whose body was retained in the boat, and at eleven o'clock p. m., on Saturday Oct. 6, we were cast, ashore, ON AMELIA ISLAND BEACH, some four miles south and east of Fer nandina, Florida. Another passenger was in a dying "condition when we reached the shore, and being unable to move, was left in the life boat, and found dead next morning, when relief was sent to him. Tliese bodies, neither of which could be identified from any thing on the clothing, were taken in charge by the civil authorities and de cently buried, in the cemetery.—Her— aid. 4-tD—The temperance movement ap pears to be making great progress in the cities. A procession of temperance adVecates of all denominations was witnessed in Washinton on the 15th, which received the recognition's of the President.

LATEn.—Six more dead bodies have been taken from the ruins of the turn ing shop this evening It is now sup posed others still remain buried in the debris. Some of the bodies are so bad ly burned than they cannot be told. The cause of the explosion to-day was the weakness of the boiler, of which the. proprietors are said to have been notified by their engineer some days since. The coroner will investi gate the whole matter to-morrow.-- - After the explosion the ruins took fire and burned furiously for some time, despite the most desperate efforts of the firemen. Two dwellings adjoining were consumed. During this time the scene was appalling. The appeals for aid of helpless creatures in the ruins, and the frantic; criesof their relatives outside, were heartrending in the ex treme. Up to 9a. m., no more bodies have been found. on in St. Louis. Great Fire in Quebao. The telegraph on Tuesday last gave us a brief account ofanother great ca• larnity by fire which has befallen this ancient Canadian city, more than two thousand direllings and some fourteen churches having been laid in ruins, leaving not less than eighteen thous and people houseless and homeless.— The fire originated in the house of a grocer, and the wind being very high the - flames soon•sproad. This calamity is the greater because it happened so near to the beginning of the long and rigorous Canadian winter. The ease of those unfortunate people appeals strongly to the Fyln pa titi es of the Christian world, which ought to know no national boundaries 7 Two terrible• fiiy9_Qtcttr.l•Qfj._j[r, that city in 1645—the year ofthe great fire in Pittsburg—at only a:Mbuth's inter val.

The Denver New publishes the following account of another Mormon outrage: "We learn that Mr. Weston, editor of the Salt Lake Union Vidette was taken by the Mormons on the night of the 3d inst., and severely beat en, and given six hours to leave the city and take with him several promi nent Gentiles. Mr. Weston refuses to leave, and denounces Mormonism in the bitterest terms. From the frequent occurrence of outrages by the Mor mons on the Gentiles, seriorts trouble may be lnuked.for."
