DEAR sat: A large number of the RepiaLlicancitfiene
of the Fifteenth Ward, satisfied that Da. W. W. nun,
'NELL - was not the proper pergola to represent,
the Ward select Cotinell,andithat he could not pos- •
sibly be elected, took the liberty, at a Public Meeting
held on the Mt h tilt., to nominate you as an independent,
candidate for that position: It was done under the belief'
•that the interests of the Republican party,the interests of.
the Ward, and the widespread dissatisfaction with Dr.!
Burnell, would induce you to accept the nomination.
The undersigned, who participated in that meeting,
would Le glad to hear from you, in order that, in case
you accept, the proper measures may be adopted to place
your name properly before the people. of the Ward, and
thus, we Lope and believe. secure your election.

GEZCTLEMEN: Yonr communication of this date, ap
prising me of my nomination for the position of Select
Connell. is received, and Lthank you for the compliment
acid implied confidende.
.Although I have always felt a deep interest in the civil
end political affairs ofthe city, as well ne of our common
government, I have refrained from seeking public posi
tion, or accepting office, notwithstanding I have fre
quently been urged t6do so; nor would I be willing at the
present time to accept the nomination voluntarily ten
dered by ° you, if it were not for the peculiar eircum
stances of the case, circumstances which seem to
demand, for the furtherance of the Republican principles
by which we are guided, and which I fully and heartily
endorse, that I should acquiesce- in your request. 1. ,
therefore accept the nomination tendered, and in the
event of my, election I can only Promise to fulfil the dit
ties of the position to the best.of my ability.
I am,gentlemen,

t is with gratification that we state that the
CnbatiMan-of-war in her stay in our port has
not : found the detention tedious. , Though, the
gtavernment may delay the trial in , the effort
to.hunt Up Aritnesseli, yet so long as the spirit
of gallantry and true gentleinanly breeding
t itill.tomins in the hearts of her Brave _ officers
they Will find their stay in our port anything
but iirksome. A charming and attractive
Scope'. was. witnessed on board the decks
tif-Allianoble shin yesterday. A large party of
hidlesi , and gentlemen, availing themselves of
t)*;ltind invitation of the officers, , visited the
evening r and-there , -was a benntif
g_lorions mingling of the , brave and the
fait, The main-deck was converted into a ball
toom!the cabin into a saloon, and the after
` 4eol i chito an ante-ioom, where a rich collation
'ikaiiiiptead. All that gentlemanly. hospitalitY

promptings of gratitude arid appreciation.
pniladies were out in all their beauty, pur
gOtlenuen full of courteous reciprocation,
;and the gallant officers donned ••their most
dttptivating smiles and agreeable man
ners to render the occasion pleasant and their
'ship a,plaCe of welcome. By kind invitation

W,e More than enjoyed the scene. The ifter-
Apek;was hung around with the flags of all
:nations, abisve which the flag of the young re
finblfe of Cuba floated proudly and tleflantly.
Rased aloft by gallant hand.s and unfaltering
tearts, there they declare it shall continue to
Waver proudly and yet triumphantly, or' else
;be bathed with their blood,unless the Gov
.!.ornment should ruthlessly seize and condemn
.this ship which made our port in distress.
'Hem on this deck pleasant tete-a-tetes
,were formed; below ' were the dancers
in - joyful numbers treading the intricate
mazes and whirl of gay cotillions. Paired off
zwith fair and beautiful maidens, lovely in the
Modesty with which their whole appearance
„beamed, were the gallant officers, manly in
Ahem noble bearing and yet yiplding to the in
,spired sound of the music, their line new Ind
' 'forms mingling pleasantly with the gayer
colors of the ladies' handsome attire. In the
'cabin the honors of the ship were done in, the
absence of Commodore Higgins (forced on

Commanding Dornin and Captain Ingraham,
the connnander of the marines and private

Batitication of the Fourteenth and Fir
, teenth Amendments in the Twolionses
'--AdJournment of Both Branches until
October IS*-The Senatorship.
PiciniOlin 'Oct. 8,1869.—The floors and gal
leries of both'houses of the General Assembly
were thronged this morning because of the
announcement that the two constitutional
amendnients would' come up • for ratificatiop,
and the most intense interest was manifested
by the members and the vast audience.' Some
degree of uneasiness was felt about the
Fourteenth . Amendment, which declares
ineligible to office all the prominent'
leaders in the late rebellion that • held
office prior to the war, and among
whom are some of the most respected and in
fluential men in the South. This amendment,
which left the- question of suffrage with the
States, was rejected by the Johnson Legisla
ture of 1866-7, only one vote being cast for it
in that body, and hence the formal ratification
required to-day created a good deal of anxiety.
The radical factionists were hopeful that the
Walker. Republicans would vote agaimit it,
and thereby furnish them a pretext to lay be
fore Congress to defeat the acbnission of
the State ; but they. were disappointed. In
the Senate, Mr. Herdon, from the joint com-
Illittee on the Governor's Message, reported
that they agreed to report . the two
bills, one ratifying the fourteenth and the
other the fifteenth amendment to the constitu
tion of the United States, with : the recom
mendation that they do pass. Amid a solemn
silence the Senate bill No.l, ratifying the four
teenth amdfaciment, was taken, up and passed
to its third reading under a suspension of the
rules. Upon ;its final passage
,the yeas and
nays were demanded, only four persons voting
in the negative—namely,.A.nderson, Johnson,
Pendleton and Lyons, the latter being a col
ored member. There was a feeling of evident
relief upon the announcement oldie vote, and'
the fifteenth amendment was taken up and rati
fied, Mesirs.Johnson,conservative,and Lyons,
colored radical, alone
.voting in the negative,
Lyons, who is ignorant, and asked' his :discre
tion of other members of his party, explained
that he voted against the amendment because ,
he protested against the legality of the Senate
and every act performed.by, it,• which he felt
confident would not stand one moment before
Congress. • A resolutionpledging the General
Assembly to ratify the. amendment after' the
admission of the state, if Congress thought W•
necessary, was lest, as such a condition was
considered s.uperiluotid.
The scene in the House resembled that in
the Senate ;- the feeling, if anything, • being •
more intense among the spectators and, mem
bers. The Fifteenth, Amendment was first
taken up and passed its several readings, and
,VgaB ratifle'd unanimously,l32 votes being cast,

The.New•York Herald says : • •
The late heavY equi.noetial—so far as known
the heaviest along the Atlantic coast, from

storms of the nineteenth century—appears •to
have been far more disastrous to property, in
cluding live stock, in the British provinces., of ,
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia than At anyc
point .within the United ; StateS. 'Around
Sackville, N. 8., among the damages reported
from the 'tremendous tide driVen up the BaY of
Fundy,are the destruction of bridges,Wrharves,
dikes, railways, telegraphs, • ships, houses and
barns, the sweeping away •.of. thousands 'of
:tons of hay- and.the droxvning-of thotisands of
cattle. These lospes will doubtless, involve
Lunch suffering in the inundated districts; and
the worst of the losses have yet, perhaps, to
come, for it is hardly to be supposed • that in

its climax here on Sunday night, and at'Sack
