SECESSION BiTRIED IN MISSISSIPPI
The Mississippi Constitutional Conven
lion not only - adopted an- amendment pro
libiting slavery forever, but it buried the
doctrine of secession. This was done by a
resolution-declaring that the "ordinance
of 1861, to dissolve the union between the
State allisgissippi and other States united
'with her under the compact entitled the
constitution of the United States of Ame
rica," was - "ltten and void." A proposi
tion was made to amend this resolution by
flyirig . that the ordinance of secession be,
bud the same is hereby abrogated." The
author of the amendment pointed out in an
elaborate groament that, by adopting -the
ariginal :resolution, the Whole doctrine of
secession NVOuid be formally repudiated, be
cause by declaring it null and void, the
original right to adopt it was denied, and
the crime 9f treason was imputed to the
lolly which passed it, and to the citizens
'who . yielded to their authority. The de
leaders of the original resolution virtually
adniitted that this view was correct, but
2 4Y were willL g and anxious tO put on
rceord -their antagonism to secession. One
biarriber, Gen. llrfennx, is. opposing the
amendment, said :
anything has been settled by the war, it is
tide doctrine of secession. .I opposed it in
C 1 so strenuously, that I was accused of not
6 tfing a friend to the south, though there is not
a itrop of .Northffrn blood in my veins. The
i
of seeess .. on is a right I don't want. It
is a rope Mesita. It is, ladeed, no right at all,

right no one can take from us, because it is a
natural one. When gentlemen talk about seces
sion, itsimply means war, with all the horrors
( )twat . . It means long and hazardous tilareheS,
7n uell. an - Miring, starvation,death. That
what the "peaceable secession, 7, as offered
10 us, means. I want no man deceived in the
tature as our people were. in the past. Ido
not want this people again, for coinparatively
trivial offences, to go into revolution, for that
ig what it was. It was because I regarded it

my sympathies were with the South. But
hereafter let there be no secession—no revolu
tion, unless without it we are called upon to
endure things more Than death. If ever Igo
into war again, I want those who persuade
me to take such a step to go withme and share
the hardships—not to stay back and talk about
peaceable separation, which is an impossi
bility. No, sir ; this doctrine is dangerous.
Men are deceived by it ; and if ever I had any
Such idea It would have been whipped out of
me ere this. I hope we may bury secession be
yond the power of resurrection. Many times,
sir, after a victory,wh en we were exulting, did
the thought come over me, What, after all,
are we fighting for I What will be the result ?
Bow long will the Government we are trying
to establish hang together with its rope of
sand—knit by the doctrine of secession?)
"It is the list duty of this convention to
throttle forever the fallacy that there is a re
served right to these States. I want no more
of it in the future. There is not, and cannot
be, any such constitutional right."
After a debate of considerable length the
amendment was rejected, and the original
resolution adopted by a Tote of 81 to 14.
Thus Mississippi, in her new Constitution,
presents a clear record against slavery and
against secession as a "reserved right."
She concedes that it is a purely revolu
tionary privilege for which no legal war
rant can .be found, and which no State
of this Union has in any other way
than the people of any country have.
risking a rebellion against their established
government. We hope thatthe other
Southern States which seek recognition iu
the Union will lie equally emphatic in their
condemnation of the dangerous heresy with
which the followers of CALuovic poisoned
the minds of the people of the South.
WE ABE apt to forget that in the late war
there were a few Northern men who hold
proMinent commands in the armies of the
Confederacy, and that there were many
Southern men who faithfully adhered to
the old Bag. This fact is nevertheless im
portant, not only because it illustrates and
proves the nationality, of out struggle, but
because it will tend to facilitate the work of
reorganization by impressine• the Southern
people with the idea that they were con
quered not by Northern men alone but by
the Government with the aid of many of
their own citizen& At the celebration of
the Fourth of Ally last, in Buenos Ayres,
this point VMS powerfully illustrated by a
speech of Mr. HELPER, the author of " The
Impending Crisis," who said :
" Virginia Ilan given us twelve generals

Major General HOWARD, Commissioner of the

Le Horn explains the position of the French
scheme for a telegraph line to Anaeries Pia the

from the failure of the Great Eastern. The
line is to be completed from Paris to the Ca

The Nerd says : The. faipare of the Great
Eastern has not discouraged the shareholders
of the Transatlantic Cable Company, or the
new french company,which has obtained per
mission to lay down a cable between Trance
and the United States. M. Alberto Ililestrine
has undertaken this enterprise at his own risk.
But this time the company does not intend to
submerge a cable for any enormous distance,
as there will be intermediate stations.
The following is the track atpresent contem
plated ; From Paris to Lisbon, and thence to
Cane St. Vincent, by land; frOm this last place
to the Canary Islands along the coast of Mo
rocco ; from the Canary Islands to Cape Verd,
along the African coast, with stations at St.
Louis (Senegal) and at Goree ; from Cape Verd
to Cape St. Rogue ; on the coast of Brazil, a dis
tance of less than one half that of the cable in
tend ed to be laid by the Great Eastern ; from
Cape St. Rogue to Cayenne, along the Ameri
can coast, and from Cayenne to New Orleans
by the coast, or probably by cables connecting
the principal West India Islands. The enter
prise is more easily practicable than that con
ceived in England.
The only dilliculty will be to secure the pre
servation of the line on the African coast, and
that security may be obtained by means of
guard stations. The company will have a con
cession for one hundred years, and the French
Government will abandon the right of making
any other concession allrilitt that time. A sub
vention of four million of francs, payable by
instalments, will be granted, when the com
pany shall have obtained the authorization
.trom all the Governments over whose territo
ry the electric cable is to pass. The electric
communication between Paris and the Canary
Islands is to be completed within three years,
and the whole line within live.

NEWS PEI!, STEAMSHIP QUEEN
The steamer Queen, whieh left QUeenstOwn
on the 24th .of August, arrived at New York
yesterday. The following news is interesting:
The At'rattle Telegraph.
The Daily News of the 22d says :
"Captain Andersen, Mr. Canning, the en. gineer in chief, Mr. Clifford, the mechanical
engineer, Mr. De Sauty, - the electrician of the
Telegraph Construction Company, and Mr.
Cromwell Varley, the Atlantic Company's
electrician, met the dirActors of the compa

were unanimous in their determination to de

The Atlantic Telegraph Company publish
the following :
The several boards of the companies bite'
rested in the Atlantic telegraph eill)le held
meetings this day, August 21, to consider tlnir
position under the temporary disappointment
which has occurred. Of course at so short a
notice no specific course has been definitely
settled, but we are at liberty to state that a
spirit of the utmost confidence in the realiza
tion Of a great success during the sprint of
next year prevailed in every till9Ntkr, The
necessary overhauling of the Great Eastern's
boilers, the construction of the new hauling
in gear, the manufacture of new rope, and
other work, would, it is found, occupy too
much time to allow another expedition being
sent to sea this year with.. a certainty of
success, but not the slightest doubt exists
as to finding, with the greatest precision, the`
position of the broken end by solar observa
tion ; or of raising and repairing it, with
Proper apparatus, in May or June next.
The several companies are animated by the
single principle of determination to perfect
the telegraphic communication between
Europe and America, and are acting in per
fect harmony. •
Immediate and energetic action will be
taken to not only complete during next spring
the laying of the present cable, which recent
experience. has proved to be perfectly practi

THE CHOLERA
The journals continue to, give accounts of
the progress of the cholera.
At MarseiliMit there is apparently much
alarm. Trade and navigation are suffering se
verely in consequence, a strict quarantine nay
big been imposed in Spain and. Italy on ves

[From Galignani.]
A correspondent states the curious fact that
on the filth„ a short but violent, storm broke
over Ancona, andthat immediatelyafterwards
a great improvement in the public health be
came perceptible. Not only did the number
of cases diminish considerably, but the state
of languor and prostration in which the pa
tients lay ceased in most instances.
We beg here to remark that this is a most
important fact, since it goes .far to prove the
correctness of the supposition, already con
firmed by other observations, that the viru
lence of cholera is peculiarly owing to the ab
sence of ozone in the atmosphere. Now, ozone
being electrified oxygen, is amply. supplied
during storms; hence the diminution of cho
lera at Ancona is probably owing to the sail. den supply of that substance produced by the
electric fluid evolved during the storm.

The Chicago Gratz' Market.
The way the Chicagoites have been keeping
up the price of grain is thus ventilated by the
Times, of that city:
"A Combination of operators, owning or con
trolling the greater, portion of the wheat nOW
In store in this city, has been formed for the
purpose of sustaining these artificial prices.
It was formed at &time when the market was
larely oversold, for-the purpose of securing
high prices from .the numerous 'short sellers,
whose maturing coatracts compelled them to
buy at whatexer, cost. The market has bosh
'maintained in the same condition—largely
oversold-mince that time, each 'short seller;
on filling a contract at existing prices,. sell
ing short? again,. in hopes to ronair on the
second transaction the losses sustained, on the
first. 'Thin OK influeetnent for these artificial
prices was continued, and their maintenance
made, simply, a question as to the ability. Of
the operators in the ring to carry the
im
mense quantities of grain in store,. and ab
sorb a sufficient portion of the daily re
ceipts to prevent prices from giving way
beneath them. As long as the teseipte were
light, the ability of the combination which
had advanced prices to sustain them, was
beyond all . question, but with liberal receipts
the task becomes one of much more difficulty.
We have, within the last few days, produced a
reaction, because we believed it impossible te
maintain prices in Chicago at letlec above the
New York - market. The receipts during the
pact twenty-four hou these quite liberal, and
'We are verging upon when We may
confidently expect thOM to be large. Then
this combination of operators mustt - abandon
their present enterprise and prices rapidly
sink to their proper level. Already the mar
ket is beginning to reepopil to these facts, and
with but slightly unfavorable intellionee
from the east we have witnessed a decline of
154/20e on flour, about ac le but on wheat, 3c cal
corn, Selee on rye, and some 5e on barley.
There is room for a !Ain further decline in.
prices, and as the receipts booms more libe
ral, and the difficulty of cornering' the infxr
,ket largely increased, we may expect still
more of a reduction in prices:,

WAshINOTON, Sept. s.—The Wirz trial was
resumed from Saturday.
J. Nelson Clarke testified that he was taken
as a prisoner to .Andersonville about the
eSth of May, 1851, and confirmed the previous
evidence as to the crowded and filthy con
dition of the stockade, the sufferiAgs of
the prisoners, the Coarse, dirty, and in
seiliment amount of rations, &c. ; in Au
gust of last year ho counted one 'hundred
and eighty-four dead men in the stockade;
the witness mentioned the case of an insane
soldier who wandered up and down by the
stream, refusing to wear clothes, and who had
not sense enough to know that he must cook
his rations, and who ended his life by suicide 5
another prisoner destroyed himself by hang
leg, having previonsly declared that he would
rather die than remain in this stockade; for
ty-one men in witness' company - when cap
tured were taken to Andersonville ; twenty
two or them died, principally at that prison;
he saw six (Omen shot at different times ; two
of them, he knew, died; one of them extended
his arm too far out over the dead line while
dipping water out of the stream, when the
sentinel fired ; another of the prigoners hap
pened to get slightly beyond the dead line,
when the. sentinel Erect, but, instead of hit
ting him, struck a man who was. lying in
a tent; the - witness mentioned the circum
stance attending the shooting of the other
four (4) prisoners ; they crossed the dead line ;
he did not, however, see or hear Capt. Wirz
give the order for shboting.
Vincent Forney of the 72d New York, who
was a prisoner at 'Andersonville, having been
conveyed there on the first of March, 1851, tes
tified that while at Capt. Wirs's he-adquarters
he heard Wirz give orders to have men put in
the chain gang, and to have irons placed
mind their feet, and also to tkp guard to shoot
the first man who should ere SS the awl.
Wits threatened to shoot any man who would
not promptly fall into line. .The witness tes
tified lie had seen the - marks7on the bodies of
men bitten by the dogs, and described the
pitiable and suffering condition of one hun
dred and fifty rues who had been vaccinated
with poisonous matter.
On the cross-examination by the defence the
witness said some of the men in the chain gang
had previously attempted to escape.
Edward P. Kellogg, 28th New York Cavalry,
testified that he saw. four men shot for cross
ing the dead line ; and such shooting , was quite
a common occurrence - the Witness was bucked
for six hours because be bad failed to renorta
man who bad escaped, and another prisoner
was bucked at the same time; bucking con
sists of first tying the wrists together and then
fastening the arms over the knees.
Cross-examined by the derence.—He never
saw a man bucked in thb United States army,
although he had heard such things had been
done; the reason why he was bucked was he
did not comply with the rule for reporting
those who attempted to escape.
Joseph It. Acirutf, 24th Ohio regiment, a pri
soner at Andersonvfile, testified that 'laving
gone out with a rebel guard, he jumped on the
rebel's back, while the two prisoners who ac
companied him took away his gun ; hearing
the dogs in chase, he and his two companions
scattered. The witness ran into a swamp,
and seen saw live hounds and seven rebels on
horseback ; the hounds were not taken oil of
him for fifteen minutes, during which time he
bad to fight them with nis fists ; he had noth
ing upon him but a pair of pantalOons, made
of two rebel meal sacks; heistill carried the
marks of the biting on his legs • the horn was
blown as a signal to tear'-the hounds off; he
was taken before Captain Wirz, who ordered
him to be put in- the stocks; he was exposed to
the sun, though they pretended to give him
shade; he was thus punished for thirty-six
hours, and during that time had only two
:drinks, out of the muddy creek; when he
spoke to Wirz about this treatment he was
told to "dry up or he would have his brains
blown out;" the witness, after being taken out
of the stocks, was ironed, the rings passing
around his ankle, and the legs separated by
an iron bar eighteen inches long ;the legs of
'the witness were sore, and scurvy fell into
diem; he was kept thirty-two days in irons
LT order of CaptainlWirz 5 it was pretended
that the irons were removed by direction of
a rebel surgeon; the fact was they were
afraid of Sherman, and had a white flag hang
ing out all the time ; this was in July, and,
when a squad of Sherman's men were brought
in, they were stripped of everything ex
cept pants and shirt; even their buttons were
split open, Wirz saying he had hoarded' money
sometimes being Stowed away in buttons ;
the men were sent into the atocaade, and Wirz
said they were raiders and ought to be hung ;
they belonged to Stoneman's cavalry; Wirz
struck a Michigan boy over the head with his
revolver the result or - wbich was that the boy
died of iitsi the witness said he saw the man
called Chickamauga killed the men had nick
named hint "Mutton-head . ;' , he belonged to
Illinois, and was silly and had lost a leg ; the
boys having plagued him, he applied to Wirz
to go onparole ; Wirz cursed him, and
threatened to blow his brains out; the man
was at the time inside of the dead-line; Wirz
ordered the guard to blow his brains oat . ; the
guard fired, the shot striking the man in the
left side ; the victim was carried.ont, and died.
The witness saw Wirz lay out the dead line
in April, 1864, and heard him give orders at
that time if any . man crossed the line to shoot
him ; the first night he went into the stockade,
on the 20th Of March, 1864, lie saw Wirz kicking
a poor skeleton around there, and heard Wirs
cursing him • he named four Officers who also
witnessed the same cruel occurrence; the
squad of ninety men to which witness
was attached., being in tolerably good
physical condition, could stand up in
line pretty well, but others could not ;
Wirz said he would not give the latter any
to eat for forty-eight hours, and kept his
word ; on the Id, 4th, and sth of July, rations
were cut off throughout the whole stockade,
because some one had escaped ; the-number of
prisoners there ut the time was asps ; on the
15th of July there was a great crowd at the
gate; men trying to get out with the sick ;
only one could pass but at a time; there were
at that place two guards between the dead line
and the stockade ;Captain Wirs gave orders-
if any one stepped over the dead line to blow
him through ; the guard said he could not
keep the crowd from encrOnching upon the
lime; the sentinel at the time had the muzzle
of his gun at the stomach of a line looking
Pennsylvanian, when he was ordered to fire,
and shot the man dead ; whenever a man was
wounded and carried to the hospital, he would
never come back ; George White, of German
town, Pennsylvania, belonging to the Marine
Corps, after being wounded, was carried off to
the hospital,. the young man requested him to
tell his mother he was not afraid to die; subse- -
quently he saw White's dead body at what
was called the dead-house, where Wirz was in
company with two guards ; witness asked him
whether he could not take a lock of his hair'?
"No ;" said Wirz ; "if you do, VII blow your
damned brains out about one hundred and
fifty of our prisoners were down the creak
'bathing ; a woman on an eminence was seen to
nod and wave her handkerchief to a sentinel,
who fired and shot one of theta in the head;
the sentinel for this obtained a furlough for
thirty days ; so he had been informed by a
Georgia soldier.
The witness described the character and suf
tering of the prisoners; he applied to Wirz to
have the filthy grease stopped from being
thrown into the streets, as the water was thus
injured; Wirz replied. that the water was
good enough for Yankees,. and that the wit
ness did not deserve such.
AFTERNOON SESSION
After the recess,Achuftwas cross-ex
amined by the defebee.
The witness was in
the stockade six months, but was never in the
hospital ; as to the guard whom he and
two companions overpowered, and whose ,gun
they took away, they did not hurt him., but
only choked him a little ; the guard ran back
to the prison crying murder; he never heard
or saw a eoldier in our own AVM
y placed in
irons ; a half dozen otherperSOns accompanied
Captain Wirz when the dead line was laid out.
The witness did not hear Wirz give orders
for taking watches and other, valuables from
our prisoners, but saw him himself searching
the men and appropriating.their possessions;
the prisonerS were stripped of clothinr„ jack
ets, boots. and hats in the presence of Captain
Wirz • he had previously been robbed by Gene
ral Wheeler of his pocket-hook, containing
thirty-live cents and three, postage stamps;
?SWOT General Hindman also robbed him,
taking off his hat and placing it upon his own
head.
Daniel W. Bassenger, testified whenhe and
his companions wore eonveyed tO Anderson
cil le, they were, during four hours, exposed to
the burning sun; some of them were sun.
strucicand Wirz, who was there, gave orders
that if any stepped.ont of the line, they should.
be shot; Vrirz also said if any asked fur water;
they should be shot, accompanyin.. the re,
mark with a denuneiation of the ;
while men lay fainting, Wiry. said if it was in
his power he would make the victory cornl
plete; he saw a man shot early in July for
gettin water, although he was not. over the
g.
oead line, and another man was shot
while lying in, his tent; the rations of .
some sick men were stopped, and the witness:
shared his rations with them ; three of• them,
died namely,Hugh Lynch, William rtiger, and,
William Waterhouse, of the 3d Pennsylvania.
Cavalry.; the distress among. the men was
great 5 he had seen prisoners searching . *the
filth which had passed through men for the,
undigested partioles of food, and for scraps
from the jailors' camp ; he had seenvegetables,,
such as potatoes, onions, peas,and also.apples,
peaches, and melons in the vicinity of the
camp; two men were buried inside the. stock
ade ; the body of one of them, which .bad laid
four days, was too much putritled to. be taken
Out.
Thornton Ph TUrgt)ll, wa Ohio Regialleitt, tes ,
titled that he was taken to Andersonville on
the 19th of June ; Wire threatened the men,
using vile language, and calling the men --
Yankees to man who showed Captain Wirs his
ration of corn bread, and asked whether bet
ter could not be flint/shed, was met with the
response, "---- you, 1 , 11 giVe you bul.
lets for bread;" there was not sufficient
accommodation. for onestwentieth part of
the prisoners . The swamp was more than
a foot deep with human excrement, and this
spoiled the water in the wells; on one occasion
be saw forty.six corpses in the dead house; on
another, seventy-five or a hundred ; the bodies
were thrown into the crock like dead hogs, -fif
teen or twenty being a load ; when the I.3risci..
ners went there Wirz came forward and read
the rules, saying the prisoners would be shot
if they entered the dead line., and that any one
speaking W suga would. be 4/1.95 by 04
guard ; Wirz also said that 'if any of the
Yankees traded with theguard and did not
get what they batgained for, and then com
plained to haw he would say, "Good for the
Yankee, and bully for the guard they were
also informed that if any our men were found
disturbing things the rations would be cut off
until the perpetrators were found and pun
ished; about the middle of March, when an
exchange was talked of, some of our men gave
money to the guard; twenty dollars or less
for the first chance.
On the cross-examination the witness said
he did not know that Captain Wirt had for
bidden the acceptance of money.
Robert Merton, belonging to a Pennsylvania
regiment, testified that be had seen Captain
Wirz wearing shirts sent to our prisoners by
the Sanitary Commission ; it was a common
thing for our men to be put in the chain gang,
and he had never seen the stocks empty ; he
saw one man receive seventy-five lashes for
carrying onions into the hospital ;saw Wirz
kick a sick man, and heard the dying state
ment of a black man who was shot in the
back ; a young man was shot by a guard, who
said lie would shoot another if he could get
sixty days furlough; Wirz remarked if he
could have his own way not twenty-four men
on 'the South side would get away either by
exchange or parole.
On being cross-examined, the witness said
rations were stopped because some Of the men,
twenty-five of them, had been engaged in dig
ging a tunnel in order to make their escape;
the tunnel was dug with tin plates, oyster
shells, and whatever the men could get.
Frank Mitttox, colored, belonging' to the 35th
United States,testifled that after he received
his wounds in the head and foot, he was put
to work at the prison;.a colored man was

More Cruelly to the Freedmen—The
Cotton Crop—Large Exports of the
Staple ArtieleS.
RALEIGH, Sept. I.—Judge Carter, who has re.
turned from an extensive trip through . the
South, states that the cruelty to the freedmen,
and the number of homicides among them, by
the whites, are increasing to a fearful extent,
espeCially in places where the troops are being
withdrawn. Judge Carter has a copy of the
Southern Sun, which says :
"If the Yankees are alarmed at the killing
of a few hundred niggers a day in States where
they have the protection of Yankee troops to
a certain extent, what will be their alarm after
the departure of the military forces, and the
readmission into the Union of those States as
sovereign Powers, who will then have a com
plete organization of military in each county,
which will give the South a standing army
that can bid defiance to the WorldV'
NEWBBATT, Sept. 2.,--The steamers Louisa
Moore, El Cid, and Argo, and a fleet of schooners
left here to-day for the North, heavily laden
with cotton, tobacco, naval stores, and other
products.
In the extensive cotton-fields, in slight of
Newbern, the cotton-pickers commenced gath
ering a crop last week. The worm has not
made its appearance in this part of the State.
The yield of cotton this year in Eastern
North Carolina is good.
There is a great lack of hotels and boarding
houses in Newbern. Portable houses, brought
from the North, are bringing extravagant
prices. It is an impossibility to rent a build
ing, or Obtain lumber here for less than its
weight in silver. heal "estate and city lots,
strange to say, have not yet taken a - flight up
wards, owing to the fear of confiscation, and
unsettled condition of this kind of property.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL:
The fall trade has set in in good earnest:
Already the indications are that the business
of this season will be unprecedented . ' in our
mercantile hidtory. From all quarters the
Purchasers come, and. our hotels are strained
to their fullest capacity. The briskness of
trade is confined to no particular branch, hilt
extends through all the various departments
and channels of industry. There are many
features of the present season that are espe
cially gratifying. Thus far . the purchase and
sale of goods are conducted on as sure and firm
a basis as the condition of things will permit.
It is mostly, if not entirely, a cash business,
This iS not owing to any want of confi
dence, for it is quite kenitirkable that
there should exist at all any confidence,
in view of recent events in New York city and
other quarters. It is because of the general
belief that the greenback currency must soon
appreciate, and the fear of having to pay
when the paper dollar is near worth the dol
lar of gold. "pay as you go,” is now the ac
cepted motto ; and, in the fact of its general
acceptance, we sea the prudence and foresight
of our people, Not the least gratifying sign
of the times is the resumption of the Southern
trade; and it is exceedingly creditable to our
merchants that they welcome back this trade
with an expressed willingness to give credit,
while not so willing to extend the same indul.
gene to the West. The South is, as we know.
exhausted of money; gnu to renew thc rola;
Lions which existed ante-bellum, some such
encouragement must be extended to the mer
chants of the South who show the - disposi
tion and will to re-establish Southern pros
perity...

the British corn trade at that date; and adds :
" Foreign accounts too much agree with our
own as to defective and injured crops, to give
much expectation of a return to very low
prices. France, Belgium, Holland, Germany,
some parts of Russia and Southern Europe,
all tell the same tale, and prices generally
pave risen." The same authority judges from
