THE MISSISSIPPI CONVENTION. The detailed reports of the proceedings of the Convention called by Provisional Go vernor SHARKEY; in Mississippii.,,fully con firm the impression conveyed by the tele graphic accounts of its proceedings, viz : That a; conservative spirit preieiled, and that all the propositions of the Southern radicals were defeated. The main contest was upon the anti-slavery clause reported by the committee, which was finally adopt ed, as follows That neither slavery . nOr involuntary servi tude, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall hereafter exist in this State ; L and the Legislature at its next session, and thereafter, as the public welfare may require, shall provide by law for the protection and security of the persons and property of the freedmen of the State, and guard them and the State against any evils that may arise from their sudden emancipation. A proposition was made to amend this by a preamble declaring that "slavery having been abolished in this State by the action of the Government of the 'United States, it is, therefore, hereby declared," &c. The object of this and other similar amendments proposed was to put on record a statement that the United States Govern"- ment had abolished slavery against the will of the people of Mississippi, and to agitate hereafter, on this foundation, either for a judicial ecision declaring abolition uncon stitutional or for compensation for the slaves set free. It is creditable to the Con vention that these designs were strongly rebuked. One member, who represented the Union county of Jones, (which when the State seceded from the Union resolved to secede from the State,) and that "the time for boasting and bluster had paSsed," and that he "was in favor or cultivating the good will of the North and the Government. That was their only hope." Another speaker ob served : " Gentlemen talk .As if we had a choice. But we have no choice, and it is no humility to concede it. The only road we can pursue is that dictated to us by the power at Washington. It has given us to understand, in unmistakable terms, that without an amendment to our Consti tution, abolishing slavery, we cannot g et back into the position we once occupied— nay, we shall be held as a conquered pro vince under the bayonets of our former slaves." Speaking of the vain hope of coin peusation for slaves he said : " T would not give this glass of water for the chance of indemnity for my slaves. The people of the North are both unwilling and unable to pay us for our slaves." " Neither we nor any of our children Kill ever see ~ an African slave again in- this country." Another speaker briefly disposed of some of the arguments of the nog-couseriratives, as they are called, thus He cared not what view gentlemen took of the subject, it all amounted to the same thing. If we have been during. these four years a de facto Government, regarding the ordinance of M 00991011 Valia t then• we are asking to come back; and is it for us, _a vanouighed nation, to propose the terms of reception If, on the other hand, we regard' the ordinance of seces sion invalid, and claim that the State has never been out of the Union, then we are every one of us traitors to the Government, and have been the last four 3-ears, and not only our slaves are liable to confiscation, but the very homes of which gentlemen speak as the Only thing left us. Shall traitors dictate the terms of their pardon 1 We have no rights such as gentlemen talk about. The bayonet has destroyed slavery, and the bayonet is . still here, and will remain till there shall be no more opposition to the GovernMent. The very power that convened this Conventioll Can also disperse it, and can convene another with new oaths and More' binding. We are in no condition to vaunt; but we should 'tither show readiness to receive what the Government will give us. It is worthy of note,. too, that a resolu tion providing for the appointment of a committee of five, to consider the pro priety of memorializing the Government for a release of JEFFERSON DAVIS was voted down, and that a resolution was adopted, inviting Major General OSTER-; HAUS, of the United States Army, " to a Seat within the bar of the Convention." •It will be seen that the rebellious spirit was represented, but it was in a decided minority, and effectively overruled liy men who speak and act as if they were deteimined to conduct themselves as. loyal citizens hereafter. THE COLORADO CONVENTION. • The Constitutional Convention of Colo rado concluded its labors,on the 12th hist., by adopting a Free State Constitution, which is to be submitted to the people on• the first Tuesday of September, 1865. If adopted, as we presume it will be, there being very little opposition to it, an election for State officers and one member of Con gress is to be held on the second Tuesday of November. Eastern Capitalists Who contemplate making investments in that section will be interested in the fact that the proposed Constitution provides that "lands belonging to citizens of the United States residing without the said States shall never be taxed higher than the lands be: to residents thereof;" and, also, that " no distinction shall ever be made be tween Citizens and aliens, in reference to the purchase, enjoyment, or descent of property." If Colorado is admitted into the Union a complete belt of States will be established from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with the exception of the Teiritory of Utah, where the Mormon population is indifferent or hostile to a State organization. That will be the only link wanting to connect California and Nevada with Colorado, which is bounded on the east by Nansas. LETTER FROM OCCASIONAL.” WASHINGTON, August 28, 1865 A period like the present is frequently marked by singular and unexpected changes. The power that crushed the rebellion, and struck - slavery stone-dead, and broke up the whole machinery for its indefinite extension, gave to the American People the talisman so long sought after by which to adapt all their institutions to the principles and pledges of the men who founded the Go vernment. Astonishing are the results of this new and resistless instrumentality.. Tbg first to be noted is the rapid and volun tary recognition of the abolition of slavery by all the old slaveholders: Extraordinary as it is, however, it is only a logical se quence of the defeat of the rebellion. But the next result is something equally sui . prising and inepressibly illogical. The Democracy of the free Spites has become a pronounced alid defiant - aristoortley. The political and commercial revolution in the South, which has opened the grandest field for philanthropic effort, and for the application of the best maxims of the fathers of the genuine Democra cy, is greeted With a storm of indig—. nation and denounced as the fruit of A.bo lition iutermeddling. Instead of moving with the times and helping the Go vernment and the Southern people to organize labor and to fit the liberated multi tudes for their new condition, the Demo cratic leaders - dwell upon the ". Usurpations" of the Administration, the dangers of " negro suffrage," 46 5.. l equality" a nd "negro ary trary arrests," &c. But the ' I corner stOne" of their new Democracy is- " State rights." So complete has been the demolition of the rebellion that there is hardly a voice raised among the recent rebels in favor of any one of those "rights" they used as pretexts for going to war. The "State rights" so loudly defended, by the Demo , cratic leaders, arc regarded by LIMP, as 19t4 to the people—at least in the sense in which these rights have been expounded by the statesmen of the Calhoun and Buchanan school. Not so with the Democratic leaders. What the rebels abandon they cling to. Grievances that the rebels might maker and yet which they dis dain to set up, are so boldly iterated by these party leaders, that the stranger is almost forced to • believe that they are the real sufferers by the war. The fact that the most indifferent class during all the rebellion was composed of these men, and that this indifference kept them out of danger, and enabled them to shirk all re sponsibility, gives a most ludicrous sound to their angry clamors against the Govern ment. OCOASIONNL, WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, August, 28,1.865 EBPecial Despatch to The-Prese.l Trial of Davis—Another Theory. It is as impossible to forget the crime of DAVIS ... as it is to forget the murder of LtUtioraf. If the latter visits our visions by night and our thoughts by day, mingling with our hopes and OUT prayers, the fernier is equally con stant in our memory. Thus, when we speak of the Crucifixion, we also remember those who directed and superintended it. When , We think of WASHINGTON . we See BENEDICT ARNOLD lurking in the background, the ghost of baffled treason. How reasonable, then, that Jarraßsow Davis should be held in close . recollection by the people he fought io ruin I Not less reasonable is the public impa tience to know when and how he is to be tried. From this impatience suspicion and com plaint are too apt to spring; and these are not allayed by the absurd and mischievous specu. lations of neweniongers and disaffected poli ticians. I think it will result that every trial like that of PAYNE and his associates, and now of Wtnz, has a direct and preparatory bearing, on the case of JEFFERSON DAVIS. That he was cognizant of every atrocity cannot be denied—indeed, it is not de nied. liis own silence is not that of wounded pride, but a studied, and, doubtless, a coun selled silence; and is perhaps significant of his apprehension that his knowledge of; if not his direct complicity in, these cruel ties will be established. You may take any of the chief criminals of the rebellion, who deliberately violated the rules of war, and it will be shown that they had the sanction of Davis.. The confessions of BEALE and KEN; NEnv, who were executed at New York, proved that they acted 4, by authority.” The attempt to convey the plague into our great cities by BLACICEITRII the devilish invention of Hennas and OLDHAM "the composition "of Professor McCuttonou ; the fiendish barbarity of Wiaz, who seemed to revel in the murder of his vic tims, and in the success of his contrivances; the robberies androids of the Northern border, like the plan to fire the theatres and hotels of New York and Others, were only parts of one grand system, and were as well known to JIMA. PERSON DAVIS as the mutilations at Bull Run, the torpedoes at Williamsburg, the horrible agonies of the prisoners at Libby and Belle Isle, and the nameless infamies upon the colored prisoners. Gradually and surely the warp and the woof of testimony is being pre pared, and when it is completed, will be close ly and compactly woven into the conviction of the greatest traitor since the days of JUDAS ISCARIOT. *s* [ltyAssociated Press.] The Wira Conspirstey—lteasons for the Viltbdratml of the Names Of Lee and Others. The reason assigned, by those who ought to know, for the withdrawal of the names of ROBERT E. LEE, and several others, from the charge of conspiracy with Winz, is that their persona are actually or constructively in the custody of the United States, but not on trial. It was seen from the time that Mr. BAKBB en tered for counsel for Captain Wtaz, that he could not long enjoy amicable relations with the Commission, and on repeated occasions some sharp words passed between them. To day, he, together with ,his associate, Si),cui withdrew. This was the second time within one week that counsel deserted him. Wigs was very much hurt at this, and imploringly saM to Mr. BARES, " you might stay to help me, and you should not inind even if the COUrt did sometimes overrule you." In the absence of other counsel it now devolves on Judge Ad vocate CurrarAN to see that he has fair play. Internal Revenue Decision. The COnonissioner of Internal Revenue to- dair decided that if under'the terms of a will the legatee can demand of the executor the delivery of gold, he cannot be held to receive legacy of money merely, for in such case the executor would be discharged by apayment ln currency. It must therefore be treated as a specific legacy, the clear value In currency of which at the time the legacy - received it:would be taxable. then an allowance over and above the valuation of a specific legacy 'on which the tax has been paid is afterwards re alized by the sale of such specific legacy such advance is regarded as neither taxable legacy nor income.

ACCIDENTS AND CATASTROPHES ANOTHER RAILWAY SLAIIGHTER-.FIVE SILLRD AND MANY WOUNDED Nam Tonic, August 28.—A. collision occurred on the Long ill and Railroad this morning about ten orclock - , near Jamaica. The engines General Grant and General Shernlallyattauhed to the respective trains, were smashed. The cars of the up train were piled one on the other. The engineers of both trains escaped uninjured. The cause of the collision was that the engi neer of the up train, instead of stopping at Winfield,us he should have done, went on to Jamaica. Four or live persons were killed, and quite a number wounded. The &lowing are the names of some of the victims: Killed—William Gainey, of Williamsburg; William Walker, of Deer Park; an unknown man, fatally injured, cannot recover.

Judge Advocate. The question is improper. There is no evidence as to the treatment in other prisons. The Court sustained the objection. • The cross-examination was resumed and long continued, during which the witness said, that unless men tent out to out wood were strongly guarded, they would overpower the guard, and would have been fools if they had not attempted to make their escape. The pro per guard for a squad of twenty men would be an armed corporal and six men ;he did not know of his own knowledge that Captain WirZ prevented men from going out to oat wood; he knew that the men dug: a well with whatever they could get, such as half canteens* and tin plates, and spoons; the water of the wells was fair ; there was not room enough to , dig all the wells which were needed ; the space was requirep. for the prisoners ; he • never save.

A telegram to Queenstown, dated August 17th, says that the Great Eastern arrived' at ' Crookhaven on that morn lag. The previous report by the Terrible -of the 'breaking of the cable. on the 2d and the subsequent attempts at grap pling are confirmed. The Great Eastern be haved in the most admirable manner, and will sail from Crookhaven to Sheerness. A fort night had expired after the Gable signals lead ceased and before the Great Eastern had ar rived.- The. public . anxiety in England had greatlytinereased. The impression was very general that the Great Eastern must have met with am accident to her machinery, although some believed -that she had gehe on to Now. foundlandi The steward of the American ship Calhoun, named Charles Gena, while lying hi the river Mersey, outward bound to New York, poisoned himself on the morning of the 14th. The body was taken ashore and an inquest held upon it, the verdict being " temporary insanity." The Chafers( and Its Ravages—The Cattle Plague. The cholera continued its ravages at Ancona. lip to the-12th instant the number of deaths that occurred from it reached seven hundred. and eighty-one. The cholera had increased in intensity at Constantinople.- The total num ber of deaths on the 12th reached three hun dred and eighty-four. Business was generally suspended. A letter from Paris says : The news from Ancona concerning the cholera is frightful, but the authorities vie with each other in the zeal and self-sacrifice with which they con front the danger. In various otherplacesisola lated cases have occurred, but they are all of persons who had fled from Ancona. In Flo rence there has never been less illness of any kind than-of late. Amusement is the Order of the day; special trains take thousands of per sons to enjoy sea bathing at Leghorn and Spezzia. Politics are dead for the moment, and more interest is taken in the great com mercial enterprises now upon the tapis, and which are of real importance. The harvest is generally abundant{ and Of Oil and wine, espe cially, much will be made, there haviug been a great diminution in the disease. Another account says : The panic in Ancona is terrible, and more than a third of the popu lation have Sed from the city. ;Most of the shops - were 'Abut, and great miseryexists among the surviving families of the vic tims; thp women and children, who were left widows and orphans. A committee has been hirmed, and had made a strong ap peal to public charity. The Government has placed considerable sums at the disposal of the Ancona municipality: . A paragraph in (the official gazette appealed to the the medical profession, and asked for volun teers tO assist the over-worked physicians of Ancona, Since this intelligence reached us, however, the telegraph has informed us of a considerable dimunition in the number of cases. On the 6th there were twohundred and seven, and no less than one hundred and two deaths. According to a telegram of the 10th, from Ancona, received yesterday, the last bulletin.gave ninety-two eases and sixty.two deaths. Vile large proportion of deaths in cases is striking, and seems to indicate either great virulence of the malady, or a want of adequate means, or of a proper system of Com batting it. On the other hand, it is highly satisfactory to remark that it does not seem to extend itself beyond the city where it first ap peared. The Marseilles papers state that on the hp iearsnee of the cholera in Egypt, the munici pal authorities in Marseilles desired to place all ships entering that port from the Levant in quarantine. For that purpose they applied to o the do Board of Health in Paris for permission SO, but their application was refused. They add that as yet the inhabitants of Mar sallies have not suilbred from cholera,although no quarantine has been enforced. The " cattle plague' , continued a prominent topic in the English journals. The disease continued its ravages, and was spreading in, various parts of thekingdom. It was disputed that the disease had been introducedby foreign cattle, and evidence was adduced to shoW that it was generated in England. At Barcelona, Spain, something like a panic was prevailing, and people were quitting the city to avoid the cholera. The Sicilian authorities have received per -mission to subject to quarantine all vessels arriving from the ports of the Italian penin sula. No case of cholera had occurred at Rome. THE QUINTUPLE MURDERER. INSANE—DEFENCE OP THE CICIMINA.L Southey, alias Forwood, who murdered three children at London, and his wife and daughter at Ramsgate, iS On trial at the latter place. Ile declares that he committed the terrible deeds out of kindness to his victims. He also said that he had carried the revolver about with him' for several days with the whole of the - chambers loaded, -and that he was within a yard or two of Lord more than once, having made up his mind to shoot him. He appears fully to have made up his mind for the worst, and ex pressed great anxiety to be tried in London, as his defence will be very long on account of the documents he bad to bring forward showing the acts of those who had driven him to ruin. Ile wants no efforts to be made on his 'behalf, as be does not wish his life to be saved. His only desire is that he should be set right with the public. He very earnestly repudiates any notion of his madness, or that his acts have proceeded from any othereause than the great wrong he Conceives himself to have suffered. The following telegram he Sent to aperson with whom he was formerly acquainted:: "Do not judge. To judge at present is to misjudge. Do not condemn." tin exciting scene took.place in the et:flirt room when he was brought out for the initial hearing. When he came, in he held in his hand a large roll of papers containing his "notes for the Ramsgate bench," They are couched in the most inflated style, and con sist, in fact, of queries,.as old as the law of England—social justice, self-defence, penal ties for acts induced by others' wrong doing, the want of Government precautionary mea sures against private distress and troubles, ac. lie writes! ‘` Is there none who can read what must be the fOrfnatiou of a mind which could, under its own strong sense of right, offer lip for theirs and the public good, the lives of others for whom he had lived and faithfully strip& gled through many years of the bitterest suf ferings, whose love and right and deeply-tried aireetion for them bad been the only support which enabled him to endure and battle for them? How easy, after all, to commit Grime and evade the hell. Weep for the living,one -poor dear soul must suffer,mine is past. What is it to die? The worthiest have died as igno minious a death as I shall, and have lived honored and beloved in the hearts and souls Of men for hundreds of-years after. If I am • unjustly eoudemned, I shall not be the first victim of injustice." He urges by his words that the government should give him means to prove his innocence, and hopes that some one organ of the public press would i?rint all he feels conscientiously to be for the elucidation of his case, which he has already seen in the newspapers has been prejudged, and his whole past career made known to the world with more or less of truth. He dilates much on the power of the press for good or for evil, and states that grievous wrong was done him in the report of the well-known case in which Mrs. White was concerned with a certain noble earl, whose power, with an income of £300,000 a year, none could oppose with success. On trial by jury he puts - forth that, as a man should be tried by his equals they should bo his equals in justicehough; feeling, and love of truth and —who have been trained in the same schOol of bitterness, injustice, and wrong. After referring to many public Men, he says that one (whom he names) "has done good service—the only man I know who could really understand and rightly judge my 0013dUcit , " who could by helping me to unfold the truth, do a service to society that would render his name revered—immortal." Such are a few Of the ideas which the accused wished to bring before the Ramsgate Bench, had they al. lowed it, FRANCE. The usual file day of the Emperor was cele brated in Paris, on the 15th of August in the customary manner, and business on theßourse was suspended.

From Cherbourg the fleet would proceed to Brest, and at the end of Augrult,the.Freneh Squadron) would pay a return visit to the English at' Portsmouth. A later despatch from Cherbour says: The French naval squadron of iron-clads, known as the Ocean Division, is already at Cherbourg, formed in a single line, the Magenta heading it. At the other extremity of the line is the Heroine, an ironclad frigate; lately come from L'Orient.
