The Trustees of the Unlvonfitj* have authorized the Fa

feuabltMill. who desire Htich a liberal education a* will fit
them, whether for professional or other pursuit*, to neeure
it, under a plan of elective fitwlu’*, which will offer to the
student all the advantage* either of the «y*tem which
formerly or of that generally regarded up the
mon/ practical. *
While all the advantages of a thorough scientific and
classical course will be continued, as heretofore, to thoa*
- who desire it, the.new plum. provides, that the student, ;vt
the beginning of the junior year, in ay elect, in the place
of advanced Crock aud Latin etuales and tlie higher
branches of Mathematics and Physical Scicucc, a more
extended course in the English language and it* Litcra
-tnre, in History, Science us applied to the useful arts, find
in the French, Gerniau, Italian, and Spanish languages.
The object of tho Trustees in niuklng these change* in
the College course, is to provide ill tlie University full aud
complete opportunities for acquiring an education that
will either, on the one hand, satisfy those whoso tastes
•Bead them to-the highest cultivation of the ancient lan
guages and their literature, of physical science, and
-of pure mathematics; or, on the other, to meet tho wishes
of those who desire to be fitted, by a thorough practical
education, for au earlier entrance into active business
life.

T. B. Peterson <fc Brothel's announce the pub
llcation, in handsome book form, of Colonel
John \V. Forney’s “Letters from Europe.” This
series of letters, written during a recent trip to
Europe, has been published in the columns of'
the Pres*, and very extensively read and ad
mired. The author is a keen and experienced
observer as well as a practised and elegant
writer, and the volume about to issued by
Messrs. Peterson «t Brothers will, undoubtedly,
enjoy i very large circulation and add much to
the literary reputation of its well-known author.
Messrs. Ticknor * Fields, Boston, have issued
two more of Dickens’s novels in their new “Li
brary Editioi. * These contain “Barnaby Radge."
and “Nichole- Xiekleby,” each in two handsome
duodecimo vi anes, copiously illustrated! Also,
another beaut , ul “Charles DiekenS“editionfeoh

Tlie same linn have also issued another of their
evijnlsite “Diamond Editions'’ of the poets. This
volume comprises the whole of Whittier's Poems,
in the same compact style as their Tennyson
and Longfellow. There can be nothing more
convenient and pretty than these handy little
“Diamond Editions," and they have conae

The Wai.xl*t. — A Midsummer Night's Dream
is having a most successful run at the Walnut.
It is placed upon the stage in a superb style, and
the performers improve visibly with each
sentation. ■ Not the least attractive feature of the
entertainment is the delicious music of Men
delssohn.which is so admirably given by the or
chestra-under Mr. Simon Hassler. The music is
classic and magnificent. It is due here to men
tion that the orchestral department of this thea
tre under Mr. Hemphill’s management has re
ceived its proper care, and since Mr. Hassler had
the leadership of the orchestra a gradual but very
perceptible change for the better class of popular
music has taken place, so that at present the or
chestral performances ore worthy of warm com
mendation. Good music In theatres is a feature
which the public now demand, and we applaud,
therefore, the perseverance which Mr. Hassler
shows in striving to please the general public
taste for it.
The Arch — East Lynne, a somewhat "melan
choly, wishy-washy and ‘•agonising” drama, will
be performed at this theatre to-night with Jnlia
Dean in the character of 'iLady Isabel.’’ It is a
matter of iegret that this excellent actress-has
not confined herself to the strictly legitimate
drama. W e take pleasure in this connection in
noticing tlie fact that Mrs. Thayer is a member of
the excellent' company at the Arch. In her line
of characters she is entirely, unsurpassed, and
there is not a theatre-goer in the city who does
not entertain a sincere admiration for her as a
talented aud conscientious artist.

Mies .Joeie Orton in the leading characters.

Wendell JPlilllipN on the Proposed
Convention of Governor*?'
[From tlie Anti. Slavery Standard.]
We are glad to see that many journals are ad
vising a eonveutlen of loyal Governors, to erive
expression to the real feeling and purpose of'the
nation at tills perilous moment. iVesident John
son very properly told General Grant that he was
accustomed to look to official sources for the
will of the people. He was right. Bat since
Congress has betrayed its trust and deserted its
postawe can have, strictly speaking, no official
expression of the national will till Novem
ber. Meanwhile, the danger is imminent.
We are without a government. Oar head
quarters have been captured bv the enemy, and
the whole army (Congress) deliberately mustered
out. What shall we do? Sit still -and protest?
Is there no other way? Is there no machinery
within reach that can supply substantially
though not in form, the place of Congress? Yes’
indeed! There are several ways in which the
people may make their judgment and will un
i mistakably understood. In Kansas times and
I at several critical moments in the rebellion, the
government waseither awed back or encouraged
forward by mass meetings, political conventions
and other instrnmentalities. The. assembling o’t
all the loyal Governors is one of the best of these
and comes nearest to a Senatorial verdict. ’
True, Johnson may be too crazy to heed any
'stich protest; still there are some near him who
reading that handwriting on the wall, might
pause before they join him in his treasonable
plots. We would have such a convention not
only give expression to public opinion, but would
wish them also to remind all who join the traitor
in his plols that not only is ho liable to be Im
peached. but they also’ ought to be both im
peached and indicted for such felony. We would
have such a convention pledge itself to leave no
stone unturned to make all Johnson’s toolsfeel the
Keenest edge of the law. We need to have these
miscreants realize how unsafe it is to play with
edged tools. They should bo reminded that if the
naiion does sometimes confusedly pardon Lee
and Davis, it hangs Wirz; so let the Blacks and
Blairs take warning.
These men are not fools or drunk, whoever
else may be so. It is but simple justice to them
to presume that they see, as clearly as the coun-
H 7 does, the inevitable result of the conduct
.they advise. It must provoke Congress to irn
peacli Johnson. As it Is so uncertain whether,
in turec or four months, they can rally any po
4?™ °f resisting impeachment, it is
Ritv' 1 »i presume that, in case of neces-
J. llicy are prepared"' to 'attempt resist- •

ance to Congress in other ways. If they
are not so ready, then the course they are fol
lowing seems such stark madness that "we must
deem them daft to follow it. If, then, there is
even the sKghteit chance of violent attempts at
Washington, it becomes ns to be prepared, to
tbe fullest possible extent, for resistance. A con
ference oi tlxe loyal Governors is a most suitable
measure in this view. With Congress self-exiled,
it seems the best possible method to prepare de
fence.
Some seem to think it safe to wait till Novem
ber, and- watch events; wo think the sagacious and
intrepid Courier oi Hannibal, Mo., is wiser, when
it asks:
“But can the country afford to allow the Presi
dent two months and a half of longer time?- Can
it, must it submit to the impending ruin? .What
can the mad President npt aqcpmplish in seventy
five days? AVith a Cabinet composed of his own
adherents, ail to the nation and its loval
inhabitants: with a Treasury full of money, and a
large ‘secret sen-ice fund’ at his disposal; with
military officers in command at the Southsym
patbizing with liis views; a general of the armv
60 hedged round with military etiquette, au'd
timid in mental force, as to refuse to assume the
responsibility of enacting what may ultimately
be the last resort—revolution; with a large South
ern population seething with rebellion, hordes of
secret societies there, only waiting for the signal
to spiing to arms—.what can’t the President do in
all this time?
‘ Grant, by the peculiarity of his position, is
nothing but a military ‘protest.’ The President
his master, and Grant cannot help himself.
Now General Grant wants another master. Give
him the support of the loyal Governors, and he
will then have back-bone enough to act, as well
as protest, it his heart is in full sympathy with
Congress.
‘.‘ls this revolution? These are revolutionary
times. Johnson means revolution. He can ac
complish his designs only through revolution.
I-et him J>e met, them by the only -power whieb
a law and order-loving people can use until Con
gress meets—the military force in the hands of
the Goyernors of the loyal States.”
A cry importan t do we deem this measure for
the purpose of supporting whatever of good may
l>e found in Genera] Grant. We have, as yet, no
confidence in him. But “while the lamp holds
out to burn” the narrowest AVcst Pointer may
j.o?.<ibhj turn into an honest man and a triend of
the people. If anything can make Grant over
and give him a new heart, it is the wholesome
snubbing and impertinence—treason blatant and
treason on the sly—to which he is subjected. AVe
hope his physicians, AVashbnrne and Sehenck,
will do their t>cst. Meanwhile, we consider his
symptoms very unfavorable. He took the Sec
retaryship in a mean way. Brother Republican,
as it is said he is with Stanton, the
firßt notice Stanton had of his action
was his note announcing that he had “accepted”
the War Department All these stories, set
afloat by Grant’s lackeys, that he “conferred with
Stanton;” “that they understood each other; ”
“Grant’s taking of the office was a matter ar
ranged between him and Stanton”—are pure lies.
Stanton knew no more than one of ns does of
any intention of Grant, nntil in a formal manner,
he received the General’s official note. This wa3
. disloyalty to party, if Grant be really a Re
publican, and more than that, it was playing into
the President’s hands. It was siding with John
son agaiDst Stanton, and facilitating Johnson’s
wish to get rid of the War Secretary. This is a
very bad symptom.
Another is, he backs down on every point and
contents himself with wordy protests,when justice
to himself, his office, and the country, demands
that he sbodld resign, rouse the nation, and stand
ready, with the army behind him an’d within reach,
to protect Congress.
Another fatal sjmptom is, Seward and Weed
are praising him. Rotten with political and
every other corruption, disloyal in everything
but the name—these men’s eulogy is enough
to wreck a firmer repute than Grant ever had.
If he is an honest man, a Radical, and skilled
in protests, let us hear him protest against
AVeed. AVe shall pin more faith on one such
protest than on a dozen empty grumbles
against a Johnson order which he proceeds to
execute.
J While these symptoms last we despair of Grant,
but never of the Republic.

Black asuHl
.[Washington correspondence of New York Tribune.]
An eltort Is now being made here by Jerry
Black to have the President pardon one W. B. N.
Cozzens, who was convicted during the latter
part of the war of swindling the Goyernment out
of sovcrnl hundred thousand dollars. Cozzens
was a large army contractor in Philadelphia
during the war, and was charged with defrauding
the Government in the manufacturing of
tents and clothing for the army, -was
tried on this charge by the Doubleday .Court
martial, foundguilty; and sentenced to imprison
ment and line. For some reason that has never
been made public, no action was ever taken on
tjupproceedings of the Courtrinartial by the War
Department, and the sentence of imprisonment
was never carried into effect. Before the trial
began, however, Cozzens’s bondman was bo con
vinced of bis guilt' that he voluntarily paidjto
the Government the amoliut for which he was
liable. A large portion of the money, as was
alleged, was stolen from the Government by Coz
zens, was recovered by the Government by can
celing a number of Oozzens’s vouchers on the
Government. Cogzens is now seekiug to have
this money refunded to him, and the fine im
posed by the* court-martial remitted, and the
whole thing sottled by a full pardon. Black has
been trying for n long time to get Cozzens par
doned. Judge Holt ail along has refused to re
commend a pardon, and this, is one reason of the
efforts ol lobby men here to have Holt removed.

Gen. Jeff. Thompson has addressed the follow
ing circnlar letter to those who were nndei 1 his
command during the late war:
Boston. Maw., Sept, it — Gentlemen : l have re
ceived various letters from among you, asking
what I mean by my letter to Mr. Prentice of The
whit endorsing (Jen. Longstreec ?
and what adt ice I have to bfferyoa as to your
Pi° „ cou r 3e . ? I have delayed answering
these letters, m hopes that I would soon, return
to New Orleans; but, finding that I cannot return
for several weeks, and other tetters having come
that wIH brook no delay I have determined to
address you a circular, that I- may no- longer be
misrepresented and misunderstood among those
whowersmy true friends in our darkest hours,
ana with whom I have shared so many hardships
and dangers, successes and defeats.
One of the letters received contains the gist of
ail, and I will answer it; it says: “Lpngstreet in
forever damped throughout the country which
4* e theatre of his immortality, and your
old friends are not reserved in their anathemas
against you,-Glve me some argument with which
to defepd yon, for X am too well acquainted with
the spirit which animated yon in our disastrous
? ,ru KSw; with your cheerful endurance of sufler
lpg and your persistent fealty to the last; to be
,lieve that you have abandoned your devoted
followers, or have relinquished the principles or
memories of the past.” 1
For Godlssake what has Longstreet done to
damn him/ for what am I anathematized:- from
| what do I need defence? Hie war produced no
purer or braver man than General James Long
street, and surely from the first to the last I have
proved myself to be faithful and true, and I defy
any mani to point to one word or sentence in my
letter to Mr. Prentice that breathes a want of love
for our people, or to a fact stated that cannot be
I am aware that some scribblers
have assailed me, bnt “they belong to the Tray,
Blancho and Sweetheart order, who simplvvobey
tlic instincts of their own nature, by barkiiig at
what they do not understand,” but X am loth to
believe that any tried soldier will doubt an
other s honesty beenuse he mav difler with him
in the plans to accomplish the general good, and
I have an abiding faith that they will let anv
comrade have the privilege to exercise his own
judgment as. to manner tfr build up the
country without being anathematized, and I
who was a leader in the beginning and a fol
lower at the end, and who, during the whole
straggle, was with you at the front, or a prisoner
04 war, will positively assert and manfully
maintain my riglit to express my opinions freely
upon all subjects affecting the welfare of the South
to and among Southrons, without fear or favor
from chimerical theorists or bomb-prool politi
cians.
If the war was to defend the South in the exer
cise of its belief of the right to secede, then ido
not regret the fight, though I may have to grieve
over the death of this theory. If the war was to
preserve African Slavery, then I do not regret the
1 130 over the loss of
$4,(KH),000,000 !worth of property, and the sad
fate that awaits the poor negro; but if we fought
four years simply for the personal triumph of
some political partisans, a few of whom would
make us believe that the country is rained only
because they are excluded from oflice, then 1
Bmcerely regret the conflict, and will grieve anew
over the graves of the brave men who fell
around me.
I must Again repeat that “I did not fight the
Lnited States because I hated the United States.
Ididnot fight fhe North because I hated the
North, ’but I fought for what I conceived to be
the honor, the sanity, and the material interests
of the Southern people,and lam struggling now,
m another way, to accomplish the same object,
and I will make as many sacrifices, and labor as
earnestly and persistently as-any man in the
South to control the political elements, to devise
plans and projects, and put in successful opera
tion enterprises that will build up ourpoor, deso
lated and impoverished country. This is what
the South really needs; this is all the truly pa
triotic men of the North ask; and I will advocate
the best plana, in my judgment to accomplish
the object, regardless of who originates or sup
ports them, Whigs, Democrats, Federals, Repub
licans, Radicals, Conservatives, or Eclectics.
This is all the defence I need. Tell the people
I am still for the honor, safety and material pros
perity of the South, and while I will not case a
shadow on the graves of our dead, or extinguish
one ray Of the glory of our manly struggle, yet I
must bid the living 100 k to the future, and help'
build up our common country from'the Atlau tic
to the Pacific, from the Lakes to the Gull".
All now agree that, bv right of revolution, our
States were out of the Federal Union, and our
Government was a dejucto Government; there
-1 ore, if our conquerors think that safety or justice
requires that the conditions upon which these
States may be. re-admitted into the Union shall
be that our leaders in the field and prominent
statesmen must be denied the right to vote or
bold office, and also that political equality must
be extended to the negro, though we may know
tins to be grievously mistakeif statesmanship, yet
we must accept these terms or do worse, for we
cannot,* tay out or stop the march of events, as the
power is still in the hands of our political enemies.
A lew years will demonstrate the wisdom or fal
lacy of tlifcir theories, and during this probation
we should work to build up our broken fortunes,
and prove ourselves worthy to be trusted; there
fore, I advise you not to mope over the past, but
remember our “Lost Cause” only as the widowed
husband remembers his lost bride when he looks
upon his motherless children, accept all political
privileges that may beogfahted" "you,"' and ' then,"
without being actuated by hatred or revenge
(neither of which are soldieriv sentiments), strive
manfully lor the true, interests of your State and
country, by working to develop her resources and
increase her wealth. •
Sbpuld you differ with others as to the best
plans to accomplish these objects, still be friefids 1
aud eolaborera in one Common Cause, which now
should be, as it once was, th&greatness and glory
of the whole United States. This is what f told
you at our surrender at Jackaonport, in June, .
18i>5—this is the substance of my letter to Mr.
Prentice—and I urge it upon you now; and if for
tills I am to be anathematized, let the dogs bark
until time shall prove that I have been ever and
always your friend, M. Jiut. Tim. mi-sox.

1 - 10 —The steamship
Grenada, Capt, M. B. Crowell, from New York,
bound to Charleston, 8. C., arrived here at a late
hour last night with the disabled Haytien man-of.
war Alexander Potion in tow, her. rudder gone
and boilers disabled. The Grenada reported
Caving first seen the vessel about sixty miles cast
by south of Cape Henry, at 5 o’clock, P. M., on
the Mtli Inst., firing guns and with signals of dis
tress hoisted. Upon bearing-down to her, Capt.
Crowell ascertained her character, and endeav
ortd to get a hawser on board to tow her into
port, but failed after several ineffectual attempts
trom the sea running so high. The Grenada laid
bv her all night, and the next morning, the sea
navingmoderated, her crew succeeded in placing
a hawser aboard the Haytien, but this parted!
and another effort was made shortly after, with
better success, as both the vessels arrived here
safely.
The Haytien man-of-war is from Port-au-
Prince, bound to New York, for the purpose of
undergoing 'extensive repairs, and while making
the voyage, was caught in a heavy gaie off the
Bermudas on the Ist, and during the storm,
which lasted two days, suffered the damages
above related. She reported having spoken, on*
the Ist lost., the steamship Arizona,.lrom ifew
York, bound to Aspinwall, all right.
The man-of-war has on board the Admiral of
the Haytien navy, a Frenchman by birth, and a
crew of one hundred and fifty men. She was
anchored at the Quarantine station on arriving*.
Dr. Geo. E. Cooper, the Quarantine officer,
showed there was no sickness on board, and she
was allowed to anchor in the Roads. She will
probably be towed-to New York by steamers
despatched here for that purpose. The Grenada
sailed this morning, at two o'clock, for Charles
ton, S. C.
. T l' e Baltimore pilot-boat Coqnette reported
having boarded the following vessels at Cape
l enry, w!m.-U went to sea yesterdav: Brig I£.
Houston, ship Bremmerliauser, brig Chesapeake,
ling John Brilbok, brig Lcander, brig Bluo
nave, the Norwegian bark Skiold, brig Uni
corn, schooner Mary E. Staples, brig George.
Latimer ship Emile (to Bremen) and bark Seneca.
The Prussian bark Baltimore, bound to Balti
more, and two foreign brigs, arrived in the Capes
to-day and have gone up.
The United States frigate Macedonian, Com
manders. B. Luce, the flag-ship of the school
fleet, which sailed from Annapolis last June on a
summer s cruise across the ■ Atlantic, arrived in
the Capes to-day, thirty-seven days from Ports
mouth, England.
' The frigate Savannah and sloop-of-war Dale,
■which sailed at the Bamc time, have not yet
arrived, but are expected to arrive some time this
week.
The Macedonian anchored in the bay to-night,
and will bo towed to Annapolis to-morrow,
nhile absent on the cruise the cadets visited
Cherbourg,Paris, and Portsmouth, England—the
Mediterranean cruise having been unavoidably
left out, in consequence of the delay from
storms, which prevented an earlier departure
from Hampton Hoads. All are well on board the
Macedonian.
The steamer Sue arrived here to-day from Cris
field, the terminus of the Annamessic line of
steamers, with a large party of railroad men and
capitalists on hoard, seeking investments for
capital and new routes for steamboat and railroad
enterprise. They visited the eastern shore of the
State, and design a continuance of their trip by
excursion to The York and -James river in the
course of a few days.
FItOJI NEW YORK.
New Yobk, Sept. 12—The Invincible, which
took fire while lying at Roberts’Wall street stores
yesterday morning, suddenly drifted over to this
side near the foot of Peck slip, where her anchors
brought her up. As the fire engines conld notfor
some time he brought to bear,on her in this posi
tion, she was burned almost to the water's edge.
She was subsequently towed down ’to near
the Barge Ofhce, where several steam
tugs poured streams of water into her,
but by this time she was almost de
stroyed. The Invincible was one of a line of
ships running between New York and Sail Fran
cisco, and was owned bv a number of gentle
men, Including Messrs. Henry Hastings, Billings,
IV coster and Richardson, ol Boston. She was
constructed by Mr. Webb, about ten or twelve
years since, was of about 1,700 tons burden, and
was valued at 475,000 or sloo,ooo. There was no
cargo aboard at the time, and it is understood
there was an insurance oh the vessel. There
were no oilicers immediately connected with her
at the time of the fire.
Yesterday, Mr. J. C. Thompson, the keeper of
ttMbonded warehouses, Nos. 2, 4 and 0 Sedge
wiSk street, Brooklyn, was arrested and taken
before Comniissioner Newton, at the United
States Court, on a charge of being implicated in
the removal of twenty .thousand gallons of
whisky, which had been placed in ins charge.
He was held, to bail in the sum of 420,000.
Last evening a mass meeting of the butchers
and drovers was held tit the Germania Assembly
Rooms. Hon. Fernando Wood addressed the
meeting at great length, freely denouncing the
legislation at Albany and the Commissioners in
the .city. A committee of twenty butchers abd
drovers were named to conduct the affairs of the
organization.
The Royal Insurance bond, robbery case still
drags heavily on; but the evidence of the wit
nesses is totally devoid of interest.
A Masonicjiicnic took place at Jones’s Woods
yesterday. The attendance was very large.
Xlie Epidemic nt OnlvCkton.
The following extract from a private letter
from a Northern gentleman" at present residing
at Galveston, who, since writing, has been at
tacked by yellow fever, but is convalescent, is of
interest.
The letter is dated August 23:
“I must bear testimony to tlic eamost and
sincere charity •which hnß marked the conduct of
the citizens toward all without distinction. This
wide-spread epidemic has developed most god
like qualities among the old residents hore. They
have both by individual efforts and through their
organized charities exhibited n noble and self
sacrillciug spirit which does them honor, and
should atone for a multitude of sins, ‘a tout'll'of
nature makes us all akin.’” -<
•In a subsequent letter, dated September 1, he
says: . I
■ThtiveJnade two appeals through the. tele
graph for assistance, of which the one for Galves
ton has been well responded to. My second, for
Eoor, desolate Christie, yesterday, X hope will
ring abundant help, for they have suffered worse
than Galveston in comparison to tho number of
inhabitants.” .
On the evening'of the date of the above, this
gentleman was seized with the fever, his wlfo
and everv member of his family, except his little
son, at t£e same convalescing from previous at
tacks. No help could bo procured, but the boy,
with such as the others could render, succeeded
in breaking the fever and saving his father s life.’
This boy had the fever two or three weeks pre
viously, and hail not entirely recovered when his
father was attacked.
—Bayard Taylor, iu a recent letter to the New
York Tribune, says: "Since I havo come to Eu
rope I have been constantly called upon,- iu
France, Switzerland and Germany, to explain
our present difficulty, and that while I have
lound a great many persons unfriendly to the
permanence of the Union,no one has the courage
to confess himself an admirer of Andrew John

—Under the head of “Remarkable Coinci
dence,” a late London paper records that it is
“not a little singular that at the latter end of.last
week, two greatstatesmen of Austria and Prussia
should have met with accidents, though but for
tunately of Blight natures." The account goes
oh to oxplain that Count Bismarck had his arm
jammed by a earriage-door, and Baron Boast got
bruised in dismounting from his horse.
