TIIC MISSISSIPPI CONVENTION.
The Mississippi Convention beim , the
first to assemble under the call of a Provi
sional Governor, it is . gratifyMg to obs3rve
that it has adopted, by - a vote of eindij.y._
Six to eleven, after an earnest debate,an
unequivocal anti-slavery amendment—viz
The institution of slavery having . been de
stroyPd in the State of Mississippi, neither
slavery nor inyoluntary servitude_ otherwise
than for the punishment of crime, whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted, shall
hereafter exist in this State; and the Legisla
ture, at its next session, and thereafter as the
public welfare may require, shall provide by
law for the protection and security of the per
sons and property of the ftecdmen of the
State, and guard them and the State against
any evil that may arise from their sudden
emanelpatien,
It is plainly the duty as well as the true
policy of the other rebellious Stales, to fol-
Asw this significant example; and we hope,
_that despite ?heir old prejudices, and the
opposition of a few impracticables, they ivili
do so. Howeviir much we may criticise or
,Condemn the action of ionic of the Southern
'communities, it is but just to accord praise
where it is due, and we rejoice that the citi
zens of a State which in 1.800 contahted
larger slave than free population, has I.)ecri so
prompt, to of as a " Brtality - the eman

the South gives of a sincere desire to main

which her armies struggled in vain, will

TEM CIIOLEBAk.
The Cholera, after having raged very
destructively in Turkey, Palestine, and
Egypt, has pursued a western course, and
has extended to Italy and Spain. it is
even said that one decided case has already
occurred, and fatally, in 'Belfast, in the
northeast ul - Ireland. Its adirent ia. antici
pated in EnglUE(l, where l with the full co
of the Government, all proper
measures of prevention have been already
gat on foot. The usual geographical course
of this dreadful epidemic has been observed
on this occasion. It came through Persia,
the steppes' of Tartary, Russia, and the
Baltic, and, in a , . southwest direction,
through Turkey and Egypt, Italy and
Spain: It is expected in England, as
before, at Newcastle, Hull, and the
other ' eastern ports. Without beiag
alarmists, we. !must contemplate the
possibility of its reaching this country.
Attention to diet, personal cleanliness, and
ventilation are among the best precaution
ary measures that can .be employed, should
this epidemic come hither. Above all, the
streets ought to be kept as clean as possible,
and not only the great thoroughfares, but
the smaller streets, and the narrow lanes,
courts, and alleys. There are scores of
courts and alleys which have not been tho
roughly cleansed for years, and it is in
these that the epidemic, should it come
hither, may be expected in its worst form.
The sewerage of the city ought be looked
to as well as the conditiOn of the streets.
One ounce of prevention is better.than one
pound of cure. Cleanliness, temperate
habits, and the use of proper food, are the
best preventives, It rests with ourselves,
under God, to conquer this fiend Cholera,
should it raise its iront among us.
ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.
The perseverance and the "pluck" of
the English character, which have built it
up into greatness, has just been exhibited
in the matter of the Atlantic Cable. Hav
ing accepted the failure of 1858, it was re
solved t 0 -make a second attempt, upon
improved principles, and with more money
than before. Unusual pains were taken,
and scientific skill was largely taxed to con
struct a Cable better than any that had yet
been placed in the sea-depths, and the
Great Eastern, particularly adapted for that
purpose by its vast size, which enabled her
to contain the whole of the submarine line,
was chartered for the undertaking. When
the affair had been about two-thirds MOM
pushed, the Cable broke—it separated, most
probably, at a place where two ends had
been spliced, itz own weight in the water
bearing so much on the junction as to de
stroy it. Various efforts were unsuccess
fully made to recover the Cable, though it
was grappled with at an immense distance,
but not so effectually as to be reunited
with the portion in the Great Eastern
which remained to be submerged. The
mammoth vessel returned for additional
fl 11
paeans and appilances, which may or
may not be used this season, leaving the
exact place where the breaking occurred so
well buoyed that it can readily be found ;
at any time. As soon as the Directors of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company ascer
tained that there was a failure, beyond
doubt, they called a meeting of sharehold
ers, and, in less time than it has taken
us to write these lines, it was agreed to
continue the effort to establish a submarine
telegraph between Valentia and Newfound
land, and a further stun of 880,000 (equal
to $400,000 in gold,) was subscribed on the
spot. There is persistency and courage in
this, and both are characteristic of our friend
John Bull, for whom, as a distant relative
in good circumstapces We have considera
ble respect, independent of his being one of
OUT own family.
If it be possible to lay the telegraph be
tween the two continents, we may be sure
that it will be done. Whether it will sue
eeed, whin laid, is a different question—an
experiment, indeed, which has yet to be
made. Some able men of science doubt
whether it can succeed, giving learned and
philosophical reasons for their disbelief;
others, equally eminent and well-informed,
have the strongest hope that the telegraph
through the Atlantic will answer as well as
any other. 'Whether it does or does not
succeed, the great merit of persisting in the
experiment should be given to the English.
If the thing is to be done "upon this line,"
John Bull will do it.
At all events, we are destined, and at a
period not remote, to have telegraphic com
munication with the Old World, by the in
ternational line now being constructed in
American, British, and Ruskin territory.
Whatever may happen, this will be a relia
ble mode of communication—certain though
circuitous,`and not so expensive in its
charges, by one-half, as the absurd tariff of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The
connexion. has VI be made, and wiil be
made—probably by our own overland
roundabout route sooner than by the Atlan
tic line.
The English p-pers, by the way, have
another grievance against the Directors" of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company. It is
complained that while they excluded all
newspaper reporters but one (Dr. W. H.
RI;EusELL, of Bull Run notoriety) from the
Great Eastern, while the cable was being
paid out, they permitted his two sons to at
company him.

CONFIRMATION OF MS LATE NOMINATION-MEET
INC OF THE CITIZENS OP NORRISTOWN.
On the evening of the 21st the citizens of
Norristown assembled before the residence of
Major General Hartranft, for the purpose of
doing honor to the gallant soldier on the occa
sion of his nomination by the State Central
Committee to the office of Auditor General of
Pennsylvania. The citizens wore accompanied
by a full band, which greeted the General's
ears with 'many of those inspiring patriotic
airs that had been made familiar to him
through the scenes of his well-fought cam .
Deigns. On Major General Ilartran appear..
ance, the multitude testified their enthusiasm
by such cheers as have seldom wcieorned any
man in Norristown ; and B. P. Hancock, the
father of the renowned Major General Han
cock, in eloquent and forcible termS, congra
tulated General Ifartritnft on his nomination,
in the name of the citizens and soldiers of
Norrist own.
Although taken un aware,General Ilartranft's
reply WaS as athnirabie as his history. It
seems to be as difficult for his friends ag foe
his foes to surprise him, or to find him unpre
pared for any emergency. The General placed
himself square upon the great principles of
the Republican party, and expressed his
hearty approval of the leading measures of the
A dininistratiou. lie exhorted his fellow-citi
zens to remain true to the teachings of their
martyred President ; to temper justice with
mercy, but to yield up our principles on no
consideration whatever. In the name of his
fellow-soldiers, he protested against tamely
forfeiting, either through threats or through
political cajolery, one tittle of the grand doc
trines which they had enforted with the
sword, and at an elpence of blood and trea
sure that no one but an eye-witness of
the war could adequately estimate. Ile
said that the military „power of the rebel
lion was indeed dead—thanks to the great
soldiers who led, and to the great sOl
- who intelligently followed their skil
ful leading ! but the insidious spirit of trea
son still existed, and the soldier and the citi
zen must keep faithful watch and ward over
its dying body. The cartridge-box is closed,
but the ballot-box is open ; and it is with the
ammunition of that box that we must now at
tack the enemy. Shear the foe of all political
Power, and you will crush his impious designs
most effectually. General Hartrunft thanked
the citizens of Pennsylvania for the recogni
tion of the claims of the soldier which had
been made m his own person, and in that
of his gallant comrade, Colonel Campbell;
but he begged that the still more sacred claims
Of the heroic rank and file of the army might
not be fOrgotten. It is our duty, and it should
be—nay, shalit I say it is I—our highest pleasure
to see that no returned veteran wants, either
in himself or in those who are dear to him. I
am not begging for my comrades, fellow-citi
zens ; I only ask for them the employments
that are usually given to industrious men.
What man can doubt their industry? Not tile
rebels, I fancy, nor their perseverance at any
task, if length of service nifty show that.
As for the families—l am sorry to say in many
cases—the destitute families of the noble men
Rho Layoff:Wen in this war, I shall say nothing
that each man's conscience does not say more
clearly. I regard their support as a religious
duty ; a question that will come up at the last
day between you and your God.
In concluding, Greneral klartranft thanked
the citizens of Norristown for the evidence
of flier confidence, which they had so plainly
and so pli2aSantlyeshibited that evening; and
pledged himself, if elected, to endeavor to
prove by his course that their confidence was
not misplaced.
The nieetivu bmke up amidst enthusiastic
cheers for Ilartranft and Campbell!

The third week of the engaement of Miss
Nate Iteignolds at the Broad Fay Theatre closes
to-night. She has played in "The Angel of
Midnight," " The Wender," the farce of An

of hichelieu,'' and in all she has displayed the
talents and the accomplishments of a studious
artist. Her chief success has been won as
Violcinte, for - which, and for similar parts,
.she
is especially fitted by nature and by cultiva
tion. The qualities essential to a correct im
personatien of that eimraeter are dignity, re
tinement of mind and of manners, - beauty,
grace, ardent feeling, keen sense of humor,
and mirthfulness of temperament. All of
these arc natural in Miss iteignolds, who is,
moreover, skilled in the bewitching wiles of
coquetry, and whose acting, therefore, is brit
liant and delightful, I cannot, perhaps, more
precisely describe her than by saying that she
makes one think of those gay beauties who flit
through the poetry of Sir John Suckling, or
Marvel, or Herrick. Nor does it seem an ex
travagance to apply to her certain of the fanci
ful phrases wherewith those old poets saluted
their heroines.

Counterfeit Treasury Notes.
Mach misapprehension exists in regard to
the counterfeiting of the national - basting of
notes, anti we have taken pains to inform_ our
selves. through the proper officers of the Trea
sury, to the end that the public may be cm. ,
rcctly informed of the matter.
All the postal and fractional eurrency,both
that printed in New York and that printed
in the Treasury, except the very last issaes
printed at the Tteasery, have been doun.
terfeitea.
Nearly all the denominations of the so
called greenback' , or "legal-tender" notes
printed in New York 7 have been counterfeited
or altered to higher denominations, viz:
One , j—Both counterfeited and altered to
Tens.
'I'NC/6—Altered to Fifties.
Twenties—Counterfeited.
Fifties—Counterfeited.
One hundreds—Counterfeited.
Nene of the notes (except fractional) which
have been printed in the Treasury have heel'.
counterfeitea. The five, six, seven-aud-three
tentlislicr-cent. notes, compound-interest
notes, &e., have all so far escaped imitation by
the counterfeiters. It is only those printed in
New York that have been successfully, imi
tated. The currency of the national banks
has not yet been counterfeited, notwithstand
ing the reports to that effect. These notes
were designed at the Treasury Department,
and executed in New York. When they are
executed according to the original design it is
believed they, like the five, six, and seven-and
three-tenths-per-cent. notes, will defy the
counterfeiters' skill.— Washington Chronicle of

Mr. Brewster was expected in a few minutes,
and Mr. Mann they had succeeded in bringing
along with them.
Mr. Goforth then introduced Mr. Mann to the
Convention, as the next District Attorney. Lie
was received with three cheers.
lie said that when he told them he felt his
heart swelling within his bosom upon the an
nouncement to him of his nomination, lie told
them - what they must know. This party has.
made for iteelf Sllch a record during the
troubles through which this couirtty has
passed, that be considered it the greatest
honor of his life to be nominated by it. The
party has obliterated the rebels in arms, and
the rebels not in arms—the so-called Demo
cratic party. Ile hoped none of them would
live to see the day when that party can raise
its head and elect, their candidates in the City
of-Philadelphia. Ile had watched the game of
politics for many years, and he Lad no
more doubt of the success of the party
- next fall than that the sun would rise to.mor
row 331011 , 111£27. If the Democratic party hat
any idea they would elect their candidates,
hey never would have nominated the men
they did nominate. He came here only fertile
dimpdlie of thanking the Convention. lde did
cc. moat heartily. It was true, there had. been
opponents to him. It had been represented
that his office was a perfect gold mine, there
- fol e, it was to be expected; but for those who
din oppose him he had to say that they hail
done so most lionotably. There would be
hard things said- against him at the
coming election by Newton Brown and
his followers, but ho was ready to stand
up, face to face with any one and answer
whatever might be said against him, awl
be would be satisfied with the vote of the
- people. lie congratulated the Uonv - ention for
the other nominations that had been made.
There was not purer man in existence than
Morton McMichael, the candidate for Mayor,
and the votes wich. would roll up in his ma
jority would show that the citizens appre
ciated him. The candidate for City Solicitor
ship, F. Carton Brewster, is the best man that
could be found for the position, There was no
purer man and no abler man than him. lie
again returned his thanks to the Convention
for the great honor COTlferred, and trusted that
as they had began to whip the Democratic in.
1 57, they would continue to do so till the end of
time.
The speech of Mr. Mann was received with
great cheering, and he was frolliCatly Inter
rupted with applause.
Dir. Goforth announced that he had sent for
Dlr. :Brewster, and momentarily expected him,
The Convention called loudly for Mr. Cio
forth. In response, he said that the ticket
which had been made to-day was made to win,
Ile thanked God that to-day there was no
Jefferson Davis in a so-called capital keeping ,
Senator "White in prison so that the Demo
cracy might make a dead lock hi our Senate
chamber. The -power of the Democracy is
broken. Their armed cohorts have been
- beaten in the South ; their unarmed assistants
have been beaten to rise no more here. He
declared himself in the fight from now until
the night of the election, when the battle will
over and the victory won. -
F. Carroll Brewster was introduced by
IM'. Goforth as the next City Solicitor. lie
xi as received with great cheering.
De thanked the Convention, from the bottom
of his heart, for the honor they had done him
to-day. There was beyond feelings of personal
con,:idemtion a matter of principle, for which
he was still more grateful. The snake Of re
bellion and tyranny is only scotched—it IS not
dead "yet—it still wriggles, and it is necessary
for the true patriotic men of the country to
work still in the good cause. For his friend,
Jar. Ilium, he desired to say that lie was the
aampion for ,e.cni-ind to to. the purity of the
ballot-box. Ile battled harder for this than
any warrior had fought against secession. It
is said he is renominated. Would it were in:
our power to nominate him to all eternity!
The battle is just began; we have ehosea our
leaders, and if ire are true to oar cause we
will] drive those devils back to the hell which
gave t hem birth.
On 'notion, the Convention ailj earned sine die.

panic which took possession of the public
mind twenty years ago, when the sudden in
crease of the gold and silver product, by the
discovery of Californian and Australiair mines,
led financial theoriZeril to UM conclusion that
the time was close at hand when the safety of
the commerce of the globe would demand the
demonetizing of these precious metals. In
the eight years including and following '57,
the world's supply of bullion was increased
live 'hundred millions, with results directly
contrary to these which had been produeed by
the alarmists. We arc now actually witness
ing a steady decrease of our gold and silver
product; and if' disasters are to come in the
future from the action of the precious metals,
the troubles may arise from a short supply
rather than an ovor7production.
