CorarAx, in his recent speech at San Francisco, in the presence of an excited multitude, declared that he was opposed to another war, if that war could be honorably avoided ; and that he was un willing to rush into conflict with France on the subject of the Mormon doctrine; he did that which proved him to be worthy of the reputation of a statesman. He is no public leader who fears occasionally to take issue - with—that he may restrain and educate— public opinion. The value of the:counsels of such a man is beyond price. It was the boldness, and in a great degree the un selfishness, of ANortEw JACKSON, HENRY CLAY, and DANIEL WEBSTER, and all who imitated their examples, that gave them their warm, strong and long. hold upon the nation's confidence ; and if men • expect to remain prominent and permanent actors in these, the most exciting and mo mentous transactions of the century, they must not hesitate to bring to the discussion of all questions, courage, conscience, and a manly self-abnegation. Now that the intelli gence communicated by our correspondent, " MoNrEzume," on the 30th of August, and denounced as unfounded and spurious in many quarters, has been a third time confirmed, (the last confirmation being from two undoubted sources,) the American people must look upon the practical side of the Mexican complication, and address themselves, not to the gratification of resentments, nor what is, if possible, more dangerous, to the realization of the corrupt and aggressive schemes of a fillibustering spirit, but to their duty to themselves and to the interests which demand their immediate and inces sant attention. From the time of the con quest of the native Mexicans by CORTEZ, more than three hundred years ago,. there has been no satisfactory government in that ill-fated country. The period marked by the resumption of Mexican power by ImuntunK, beginning with his successful re bellion, has not furnished an exception in this respect. A generation of timehas witnessed at least thirty changes of government, under as many revolutionary chieftains. If Louis NAPOLEON conceives that he will succeed any better than his predecessors, he may prepare himself for an overwhelm ing disappointment. In our judgment, the destinies of Mexico cannot be shaped and settled by any monarchist, much less by one whose political tenure is naturally very precarious, and whose ambition is danger ous and presumptuous. That Lours NA POLEON is au instrument in the hands of Providence we believe, but that a man who ascended to power as a democrat, who consolidated it as a dictator, and who wields it as a despot, can manage for any long period an intractable, turbulent, and factious people like the Mexicans, in the neighborhood of a jealous and vigi lant republic like the United States, after such a war as that which has crowned its eagles with unprecedented triumphs, may be classed among the physical and moral impossibilities. Mexico covers a terrritory much larger than France, and the ruler who has such occupation for his time at home, who is constantly watched by a powerful and distrustful opposition, and re garded with extreme suspicion by all the great Powers, cannot hope to find in his con quest much of that felicity which 80111 C of his panegyrists have anticipated for him. But let him make the trial. The American duty is plain. Three-fourths of our terri tory are sealed and sanctified to the Union by our recent victories, stronger, firmer, and more devoted in their loyalty than ever. The curing of the sickness and the healing of the wounds of the other fourth will be to us a work of high and religious duty—in fact, a sacred pleasure; and while we are engaged in its perform ance and extending the blessings of intelli gence and morality all over the South, we can survey the operation of the last "ex periment" of Louis NAPOLEON with pro fitable complacency. COLORADO. It is reported that the people of Colorado have cast a majority of votes in favor of the proposed new constitution at their re cent election. It is so clearly their interest to secure a representation hi Congresa that we can scarcely understand how the pre sent State movement can be defeated. The opposition to the application for admission into the Union is based upon frivolous pre texts, and does not receive much sym pathy or support from the body of the peo ple. As Colorado will probably be the next new State engrafted intothe Federal Union, a brief sketch of her past history and present position may be interesting to our rect(ers. It is supposed that this region was first visited by the Spanish explorer, VAs qUEZ DE COBONADA, in 1540, and not long after Spanish settlements were established in the districts of New Mexico lying imme diately south, or extending into the southern portions of the present geo graphical limits of Colorado. The chief object of these original settlers was to acquire gold, and they opened and worked numerous mines, reducing the na tive Indians, who were semi -civilized, some what after the fashion of the Aztecs, into a state of slavery. This continued until about 1680, when the Indians revolted, drove away their oppressors, and closed up the mines, most of which have never since been opened ; but gold placer mining has nevertheless been continued almost unin terruptedly in the mountains near Santa Fe, up to the present time, without, how ever, yielding very large returns, as the scarcity of water in that district is a great obstacle, and the mining system adopted is very rude and inefficient. While the coun try south of Colorado, and its southern districts, have been known to be auxiferous for centuries, it was only a few years ago— about 1858-59—that what is known as the Pike's Peak gold region was dis covered ; and since that period so many valuable lodes or veins have been opened that a considerable population has been at tracted, thriving towns have been esta blished, farms cultivated, and gold-mining has become a well-established business. The exact product. of the mines is not known, but the following reports of the re ceipts at the Philadelphia United States Mint, and accompanying - estimates, arc supposed to be substantially correct : 1859 $l,OOO 1860 600,000 1861 1,000,000 1602 8000,000 1863 (estimated) 18,500,000 4861 (estimated) 17,000,000 1865 (estimated) 18,000,000 As much gold remains in the hands of miners, some authorities estimate the total yield of the Territory, up to this time, at $100,000,000, while others doubt whether it has yielded more than half that amount. All concur, however, in the opinion, that the gold-mining interest is only in its in- Taney. The placer mines having been nearly all exhausted, the chief reliance is now placed upon the rich quartz lodes and "reins, withwhich the Territory abounds, but which require a large amount of capital and machinery for their proper development. "The main difficulty heretofore has been to separate the gold from the Ore, only a small percentage, about one-fourth of the precious metal, being extracted by the old processes. So much attention has been directed to this subject, however, by chemists and inven tors, that it is believed all present difficul ties will soon be overcome, and if these an ticipations are realized Colorado will soon be in a position to produce more gold than California. Colorado journals of a recent date speak with great confidence of the re sults of an improved system fot smelting neii ores, by which it is believed the avail able product will be greatly increased, and the business made immensely profitable. Colorado has already undergone most of the mutations to which new mining_ communities are usually subjected. Some of the original settlers have returned home disappointed, and others have wandered Off to the new mining districts of Idaho and Montana. But meanwhile her citizens have successfully grappled with the difficul ties incident to their position, and have gained a clear insight into the requisites of their future prosperity. As the most acces sible of the mining territories, lying imme diately west of Kansas and Southern Ne braska, it possesses special interest to the Atlantic States. Its commercial transactions are all conducted with Eastern cities. Its merchants purchase their goods in Philadel phia or New York, and many of its mines are now being developed by Eastern capi talists. As its gold product will necessa rily find an outlet through the whole range of Atlantic States, all our citizens are more or less interested in its increase. As the quantity of arable land is limited in extent, agricultural products command high prices, and the yearly crops of a single farm can. be sold for a fortune. We heard recently of an instance iri which a crop of wheat and barley raised last year, on two hundred and sixty-seven acres of irrigated land, within four miles of Denver, sold for 01,000 in gold, the price of wheat being then ten cents per pound. Labor, of course, commands high prices, and all the indus trious emigrants who flock there speedily find remunerative employment. The cli mate is bracing and healthy, and many re sidents declare it to be decidedly preferable to that of Pennsylvania. THE ISTHMUS OF SUEZ CANAL. There appears to have been great exag geration in the hasty boast that on the 15th of August the flood-gates of the Suez canal had been opened, and that a vessel laden with coal had sailed direct from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. This announcement naturally created the conviction that M. DE LESSEPS had completed the great maritime canal which he has been constructing with vast labor and large expenditate of money and time. It is now positively declared that years must elapse before the canal can be completed, under any circumstances, and that what was opened was " simply a certain fresh-water canal, of very small depth and equally slight capacity." This canal is fed from the Nile, is only from three to five feet deep, and was nearly completed when the works were visited by a great scientific commission last April. In a literal point of fact, however, the waters of the Medi terranean and of the Red Sea actually were united some months ago. Midway between the two shores of the isthmus lies a lake, and this lake is connected with the Mediterranean coast by a portion of the real Suez canal, and with the Red Sea coast by the canal above mentioned. We are told that "both these channels have been so far completed that water commu nication, in a certain sense, is practicable along the whole length. M. DE LESSEPS and his friends were once actually towed in a small boat by a small launch all the way from one sea to the other, and it seems to have been imagined that the feasibility of the whole enterprise was established by this evidence of what could be done. The isthmus had been pierced ; a channel had actually been excavated by which the wa ters of the Red Sea mingled with the wa ters of the Mediterranean, and this success was held to have solved the entire problem." But this is very different from a permanent ship canal. The channels have to be widened into artificial rivers, which must be preserved in a navigable condition. The great chance is that the sands of the desert will be blown into this canal, and stop it up, as it did, we believe, when a like mode of communication was constructed in the time of the Pharaohs. If successful the Suez canal will, probably, revive the glory and greatness of Egypt. THE CHOLERA. It has been remarked by several foreign scientific and medical writers that the pre sent visitation of the cholera differs, in one very material respect, from any preceding one, In every other instance, the epidemic has travelled into Europe from the heart of Asia, but, this time, it broke out in what is called the basin of the Mediterranean—that is, on the seaboard of countries washed by that tideless sea. What is more, it seems, with few exceptions, to have been confined to these localities. At this season of the year complaints akin to cholera more or less prevail in all great cities, but, as yet, the Asiatic, which is the most fatal form of the disease, has hitherto not travelled much beyond the seaports of the northeast Afri can coast and the south of Europe. The Russian Telegraph Line. VARIOUS EXPLORING EXPEDITIONS BENT OUT- EVERYTHING PROGRESSING FAVORABLY SITKA, August 18—via New Westminster, Sept. s.—The bark Clara Bell will. Sail from here tomorrow for New Westminster. The schooner Milton Badger will also sail for Bad ger Bay tomorrow, with an exploring party on hoard and full supplies of equipments. This party will be the advance explorers of the route from the Anadyr river to the Amoor. The bark Golden Gate will also, sail for Fort St. Michael's and the Gonkon river, with the steamer Lizzje Bowler on board. The party who will explore the Gonkon river are also on board the Golden Gate. The steamer Wright will also sail for the mouth of the Gonkon river and the Gulf of Anadyr. Col. Charles Bulkley, engineer-in.chief of the Over land Telegraph Expedition, goes on the lat ter, and, after directing the preliminary Ope rations of the explorers of the Gonkon, will proceed to Anadyr. Everything pertaining to the great expedition is progressing favora bly, and the Russian officials at Sitka have ex tended every aid in their power. The heeith of the expedition corps is excellent. THE CHARLESTON COURIER.-011 Friday, Sep tember Ist, the Charleston Courier appeared in an enlarged and greatly improved form. The former establishment of the Carlon on East Lay street, has for some time been under going repairs, and the journal is doubtless by this time again in its old quarters. The nles of the paper, which ; during the war, were re moved to the interior of the State, are to be brought back. The Courier is one of the best papers published in South Carolina, and we are pleased to notice this evidence of its success. Public Amusements. WALNUT-STREET THEATRE.—The truly thrill ing play of the " Dead Heart " will be produced at the Walnut this evening, with Mr. Barton Hill as Robert Landry. The other characters of the play are cast to the full strength of the company. The "Dead Heart" is, indeed, one of the most interesting dramas now performed on the American stage, and we shall be greatly surprised if this beautiful theatre is not again filled to its utmost papacity. On Monday eve ning Mrs. D. P. Bowers appears as Julia, in Knowles' play of "The Hunchbacir. 9l CHESTNUT-STREET THEATRE.—This evening,at the Chestnut, Miss Kate Reignolds takes her farewell benefit, and makes her last appear ance but two. The grand spectacular drama of the Sea, of Ice, with all Its new scenery, me chanical effects, etc., will be produced. On Sa. turday afternoon a family matinee will be given. Miss Helen Western appears in the French Spy on Monday evening. ARCA-STREET THEATRE.—airs. John. Drew takes a benefit at this theatre to night. She appears as Lady Belle, in "Know Your Own Mind." The performance will close with the farce of the "Waterman." ACADEMY of Music.—The Typographical Dramatic Association will, on Saturday even ing, September 16th, give at the Academy of Music a grand performance. The Philadel phia Smugerbund have volunteered, and will on this occasion sing the prize song which carried off the price banner, over the heads of many rivals at the National Siengeriest re cently held in the " Empire city." The Ger mania Orchestra will also be in attendance. The proceeds of the performance will be handed Over to the managers of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home for the benefit of the fair to be held at the Academy in October next, for the purpose of raising a building and endow ment fund for the institution with which they are connected. This worthy motive should comment itself to all. The bill for the even ing will consist of J. Sheridan Knowles' beau tiful play of " The Wife," a tale of Mantua, with an excellent cast of characters. To be followed by the prize song by the Phila. dolphin Samgerbund. To conclude with it laughable burlesque, by a member of the T. D.

THE DISHASII IBOREASING ITS RAVAGES-FM HUNDRED PERSONS CARRIED OFF EVERT DAT HOW TIMID/AD AR BURIED-FLIGHT OF THE POPULATION TO THE MOUNTAINS-WHOLESALE DESOLATION OF ,THE LABORING CLASSES- HEART-RENDING SCENES. [gpeCift/ Correspondence Washington Chronicle.] The cholera has greatly increased in vio lence since my last, and for the pasttwo weeks it has been carrying off about 320 persons daily, exclusive of the army and navy, from which we have no accurate reports. It is impossible to obtain a full list of the deaths, and I think it is safer to assume that the average number of deaths for the above period has been 400 daily. Some 5,000 persons have probably died of the disease since it first broke out here. It etill continues its ravages, the official reports for the last few days being about 290 deaths daily. It has returned to the Christian quarter of Pero., where it had ceased for a time, in conse quence of the greater number of interments in the Dluseuinsan cemeteries, and which are made but about a foot below the surface of the earth. Strange to say, most of these inter , ments were made directly parallel with one of the most frequented promenades in the heart Of Pera. Being insufficiently covered with lime, the exhalations from them are spreading a pestilential atmosphere through the most populous section of the c ity,and where the foreign embassies are located. Unless pro per sanitary measures are soon adopted to correct this source of disease, we shall have the Oriental plague again upon us in its worst form. The overcrowded cemeteries, and the careless manner in which the dead have been buried, I fear will, at all events, be the cause of a great deal of typhus and similar com plaints in the coming autumn and winter. The cholera seems to be more malignant in fine, pure, dry weather than in any other. Such weather has prevailed here during al most the whole period of its existence. Du ring this kind of weather there is an insuei., eient proportion of ozone in the atmosphere, as has been found by repeated tests, and it is only when this element of the atmosphere is restored by storms and rain that we may look for the cessation :Of the epidemic. Elevated sites having more. of it, It is for this reason that the summits of hillsand mountain ranges are the safest places of refuge during cholera seasons. Indeed, great heights may be said to be almost out of reach of the cholera. The population of the capital and neighboring vil lages have fled in all directions, and the moun tains are covered with encampments of fugi tive families. _ _ The Turkish Government, in order to dimin ish the number of victims, provided steamers for the transportation of the laboring classes to their homes on the coasts of the Empire, and nearly 90,000 have thus been carried away from the city free of charge. Constantinople has lost one-thirdrOf its population in this way and by light. in the village of Bayandere, where I have been passing the summer, at least two-thirds of the people, pauic-struck at the fearful mortality around them, have lied into the open country. The mortalittf has been increased by the ve getable diet tqwhieh the great majority of the population is condemned by their extreme po verty. Meat As the staple article of food in cholera seasons, and those who live chiefly on it, abstaining. generally from vegetables, are the most oxsmptfrom the disease. Meat being dear here,it is out of reach of the poorer classes. To provide them with this necessary article of bod, subscriptions have been started and large sums of money have been raised, but of coursOthey are inadequate to supply the demand. Since the Crimean war, Constanti nople has, in truth, become an enormously dear place, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is now the dearest capital in the world. The djstress existing here in consequence of the devastation in families by the cholera is heart-tending. Many are left without any means of sustenance, and they wander about the streets in helpless, despairing misery. The Bights as witnessed in comtantinopie now,' with the unattended tinulliqis loaded with coffins passing on continuously to the cemeteries, day and night, are horrible in the extreme, and can never be effaced from the memory. MISSISSIPPI. APPEAL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CONVENTION IN BEHALF OF JEFF DAVIS AND EX-GOVERNOR The following address to the President was prepared and signed in the Mississippi State Convention before its adjournment: JACKSON, Miss., August 22,1865. 2b the President of the United States: The members of the Convention of the State of Mississippi, assembled for the purpose of amending the State Constitution so as to re store our relations with the Federal Govern ment, as Mississippians and individuals, re spectfully present the following petition: Charles Clark, late acting Governor of this State, is, we learn, held in confinement by au thority of the United States Government at Fort Pulaski. He is old, maimed, shattered in constitution and wrecked in fortune. He has long been known as a gentleman of high social position, of great worth, integrity and intelligence. Jefferson Davis, lately the President of the States in rebellion against the Federal govern ment, is said to be in strict confinement, and debarred the privilege of correspondiug Li or conversing with his family or friends. eis said to be suffering ill health and to be threat. ened with the loss of sight. His family is re duced to poverty. Here, resistance to the authority of the United States is at an end. There is no longer among our people any intention or wish to resist the Government, but an honest deter mination to return to their peaceful occupa tions and to restore the prosperity that once blessed our State. The action of the Conven tion now in session leaves no doubt of the truth of this assertion. We believe that what is said of our own State is true of all the States lately in rebellion. Few of us coincided with Messrs. Davis and Clark in their political opinions. Most of us voted against secession, and for years opposed. the State-rights party, yet none of us doubted that Mr. Davis acted upon an honest and sin cere conviction that the theory of our govern ment which he adopted was right—a theory once advocated by some of the best men our country produced. He was loth to resort to a disruption of the Union as a mode of remedy ing what he thought to be wrong in the past and guarding against other and more grievous wrongs which he believed to be impending. After the convention assembled in this State had passed an ordinance of secession, lie left the Senate of the United States reluctantly and with sorrow believing, we are assured, that be was required to do so by his duty to the State, a due regard for consistency, and the political principles he had so long adhered to—the solemn ; earnest, and patriotic appeals contained in his latest addresses to the Senate justify us in these opinions. It was well known to our people that he was not among the most ardent of his political associates. In other times, leading Mississippians to vie tory, he gallantly fought and bled for the talon, and reflected honor and renown upon our State. as well as the whole country. We cannot be indifferent to his fate now t however much we differ from him in his political (mi nions, and we can but sympathize with him in his misfortunes. When a war of sections began, inaugurated not so much by the action or appeals of indi viduals, as by the general uprising and en thusiasm of the masses, he was chosen with extraordinary unanimity, because he was known to be honest, sincere, and psudent, to preside over the States in revolt. He was the representative of the sentiment of the people of the States. His acts were those of the great body of the people. We respectfully and ear nestly ask that our sine, the sins of the mil lions for whom, and with whom he acted, may not be visited upon his head. Now that our people are returning, heartily and cheerfully, to their allegiance, we are con fident the pardon of the gentlemen we have mentioned will go very far to produce a more kindly feelin,g between people of the North and the South, and rid us of much of that as perity which has arisen from the recent con flict. We believe, too, that the pardon of Mr. Davis would be an act of grateful magnanimi ty, becoming a powerful Government, whose military strength and resonrees have astonish ed the world, and whose'claims to respect would rest not more upon its power than upon its acts of mercy in the hour of triumph. We submit.that this act would elicit the applause and excite the admiration of all good men at home, and all good men and governments abroad. •-- • . We think the disasters the war has brought upon us will prevent the recurrence of rebel lion. These disasters may well stand in the place of further punishment. They have reached us all. We recognize them in the de- solation of our fields—in the ruin of our home steads—the destruction of untold wealth—the terrible loss of life, and the sweeping away of almost all that makes a people great, prosper ous,_ or happy. We therefore appeal, earnestly and respectfully, to the President to extend to these gentlemen, in whose fate Mississippians especially feel SO deep an interest, the same clemency which he has generously extended to so many of our people. [The above, it is stated, was signed by every member of the convention.] A TERRIBLE CoNvEssmx.—Daniel Andrews, postmaster at Glencoe . , Mo., was recently ar rested for robbing a neighbor, and committed suicide in prison. Before doing so, he wrote a confession, which stated, among other things, that he murdered a returned Californian, eight or ten years ago i for the purpose of se- Curing his money, which amounted to about ten thousand dollars ; that he had the mut% dered man buried at his own expense, many of the neighbors attending the funeral, and giving him credit for charity to the dead. lie also informs his friends that since his ap pointment as postmaster he had robbed the mails in search of money in many instances; and that he never lost an opportunity to ap propriate letters entrusted to him with the information that their contents were valuable, Timm ost shocking statement in the confession is that he bad been the means of killing two of his own children and that lie had meditated the murder of his wife, procuring a gun and loading it for that purpose only a few days before the date of the confession. A Coaxal:. ax UTAH .—The days of poligamy in Mormondon must be numbered when the editor Of the Salt Lake City Vidette can talk as follows and live ; Never united as to po lygamy the people are now divided, and not to be depended upon by their leaders, and great is their tribulation in consequence. Mark these apostles ! how, instead of coming out and offering themselves to shield their people from supposed danger, they shrink from the ordeal, endeavoring to skulk among the crowd, and lind safetyfor their miserable selves in the number of their doubting adhe rents. In the end it will be seen that these sanctimonious hypocrites, blatant as they are and have been, are not possessed of one single spark the that . sublime • heroism which delleS martyrdom, but will show themselves of the genuine Falstaff breed, and when brought to 'the test will sink beneath contempt!! THE SBA-SIMPENT.— Thu sca.serpent , s not having been seen olf Nahant this year may be accounted for by the fact that his snakeslnp is on a visit to Virginia. A few days since, while a man was walking in the vicinity of Willis , creek, in Buckingham county, in that State, he saw the snake takin a view of matters on shore, a recreation which the person did not think lit to interfere with, as the serpent, OP rather so much of it as was visible, extended along nintrsections of a rail fence. An armed party went out to hunt the " pesky varmint," but foundlhat it had slid back into the creek. The marks it made on the sand were such as the indentations of a large oak tree would produce ; and the length of the serent could not be less than two hundred and twenty-five feet. Such is the substance of a story told by the Richmond Times of Monday last. THE PRESI3.-11111ADELPH1A. A HISTORICAL LETTER.

I-InAnotuurrens MaarAirr DIVISION TOE MISSISSIPPI, IN THE FIELD, NEAR ATLANTA,. GEORGIA August 10, 1664. Daniel M. Martin, Sand Mounlain , opposite Belle- Joule: Air DEAR OLD FRIEND: When in Larkinsville last winter I inquired after you and could get no positive answer. I wish you had sent MC your letter Of Jariffery 22—Which I have Just received—for I could have made yon feel at ease at once. Indeed do I well re member our old times about Bellefonte, and the ride we took to the corn mill, and the little farm where I admired the handsome colt, and tried to buy it. Time has worn on, and you are now an old man, in want and suffering, and I, also, no longer young, but leading an hostile army on the very road I came when I left Bellefonte, and at this mo ment pouring into Atlanta the dread missiles of war—seeking the lives of its people. And yet, I am the same Willi am Tecumseh Sherman you knew in 1814, with as warm a heart as ever, and anxious that peace and plenty shall prevail in this land ; and to prove it, I defy Jefferson Davis, General Lee, or General Hood, to make the sacrifice for peace that I will personally and officially. I will to-day lay down my power and my honor—already won— will strip myself naked, and my child and wife—stark-naked in the world as we eaW, and begin life anew, if the people of the Smith will but cease the war, elect their members of Congress, and let them settle by argument and reason the questions growing out of slavery, instead of trying to divide our country into two angry halves, to qUarrel and fight to the end of time. Our country cannot be divided by an East and West line, and must be one; and if we must fight let uelightat out now, and not bequeath it to our children. I as never a politician,. but resigned from the artily and lived in California till 1857, when I came back with my wife and three children, Who wanted to be near home—Mr. Swings, nothfr. Corwin's —but I had the old army so ground in my com position that civil pursuits were too ta,me, and I accepted an offer as president of the Louisiana Military Academy. Therefore, at the time of Lincoln's election I was at Alex andria, on Red river. I saw, and you must have seen, that the Southern politicians want ed to bring about secession—separation. They could have elected Mr. Douglas, but they so managed that Lincoln's election was made certain, and after they had accomplished this, was it honest and fair for them to allege it as a cause of war 1 Did not Mr. Breekinridge, as vice president, in his seat, declare Mr. Lincoln the lawfully-elected President of the United States I Was it ever pretended the President was our government? Don't you know that Congress makes the laws, the Supreme Court Judges them, and the President only executes them ? Don't you know that Mr. Lincoln of himself could not take away your rights. Now, I was in Louisiana, and while the planters and mechanics and industrial people were happy and prosperous,the politicians and busy bodies Were scheming andplotting, and got the Legislature to pass an ordinance of SeeeS- Sion, which was submitted to the people, who voted against it—yet the politicians voted the State out, and proceeded to take possession of the United States Mint, the forts, the arsenal— and tore down the odd flag and insulted it. That, too, before Mr. Lincoln had got to Wash ington. 1. saw these things, andbegged Bragg, and Beaurega - rd, and Governor Moore, and a host of personate friends, to beware. In that was high treason. But they answered the North was made up of mean manufac turers, of traders, of farmers, who would not fight. The people of the North never dreamed of interfering with the slaves or property of the South. they simply voted as they bad a right to do, and they could not un derstand why the people of the South should begin to take possession of the United States forts and arsenals till Our government had done something wrong--something oppres sive. The South began the war. You know it. I and millions of others living at the South know it, but the people of the North were as innocent of it as your little grand-children. Even after forts had been taken, public arms stolen from our arsenals and distributed among the angry militia, the brave and honest freemen of the great North could not realize the fact, and did not until Beauregard began to fire npon a garrison of the- United States troops in a fort built by the common treasury of the whole country. Then, as by a mighty upheaval, the people rose and began to think of - war, and not until then. I resigned mypost in Louisiana in March, 1861, because of the public act on the part of the State in: seiz ing the United States Arsenal at Baton Rouge, and went to St. Louis, where I readily got 'lu crative employment, hopingthat some change would yet avert the war ; but it came, and I and all of military education, had to choose. I repeat that then, as now, I had as much love for the honest people of the South as any man living. Had they remained true to the country I would have resisted, even with arms, any attack upon their rights—even their slave rights. But when, as a people, they tore down our old Gag and spit upon it, and Called Us cowards, and dared us to the contest, then I took np arms to maintain the integrity of our country, and punish the men who challenged us to the conflict. Is this not a true picture Supposin the North had patiently submitted' what would have been the verdict of history and the world? Nothing_else but the North was craven and coward. Will you say the North is craven and coward nowt Cruel and in human as this war has been, and may still continue to be, it was forced upon us. We bad no choice. And we have no choice yet. We must go on even to the end of time even if it result in taking a million of lives and deso lating the who e land, leaving a desert behind. We must maintain the integrity of our coun try. And the day will come when the little grandchild you love so well will bless us who fought that the United States of America should not sink into infamy and worse than Mexican anarchy by the act of So thorn politicians, who care no more for yeti., or such as you, than they care for Hotten tots. I have never underrated the magni tude of this war, for I know the size of the South, and the difficulty of operating in it. But I also know that the Northern races have, ever since the war began, had more pa,- tience and perseverance than the Southern races. And so will it be now—we will perse vere to the end. All mankind shall recognize in us a brave and stubborn race—not to be de terred by the magnitude of the danger. Only three years have passed, and that is bat a minute in a nation's life, and see where we are. Where are the haughty planters of Louisiana, who compared our hard-working, intelligent whites of the North with their negroes? The defeats we have sustained have hardly made a phase in our course, and the vaunted braves of Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Sm., instead of walking rough-shod over the freemen of the North, are engaged in stealing horses and robbing poor old people for a living, while our armies now tread in every Southern State, and the biggest armies in Vir ginia and Georgia lay behinXforts and dare hot come out and light us cowards of the North, who have come five hundred miles into their country to accept their challenge. But, my dear old friend, 1 have bored you too much. My hand-writing is not plain, but you have time to study it out, and, as you can under stand, I have a great deal of writing to do, and it must bein a hurry. Think of what I have written. Talk it over with your neigh bors, and ask yourselves if, in your trials and tribulations, you have suffered more from the Union soldiers than you would had you built your barn - where lightning was sure to burn and tear it down. Do you not all invoke the punishment of an indignant God and Govern ment? I care not a straw for niggers. The moment the master rebels, the negro is free of course, for he is a slave only by law, and the law broken he is free, I command in all Tennessee, Kentucky, Ails. sissippi, Alabama, and Georgia. The paper 1 enclose will be of service to you. Love to Mrs. Alai - tin. W. T. SHERMAN, Major General. Stmenrim Irres..erricine.—lnfanticide is not an Irish offence, yet it has been reserved for an Irishwoman to surpass all Englishwomen who have committed it, and rise at a bound to the wretched supremacy of crime. Mary Darby left the Dungannon Workhouse with an ille gitimate child of a year old, and took service In a farmer's house. The baby was a weariness to her, and she devilled a plan for disposing of it, which, in its slow, deliberate atrocity, sur. passed anything ever committed by slave traders. Through a period of three weeks she continued breaking the baby's bones one by one, till when it died the surgeon found eight broken ribs, a broken shoulder, a fracture of each bone of the left forearm, another of the thigh-bone, another of one leg below the knee, another of upper and lower bones of the right arm, and another of the jawbone. The only external appearance was a black lump over each fracture, and the woman had calcu lated that she Could explain the death as caused by these swellings. It is diflleult for ordinary men to believe such acts performed by reasonable beings ; but there is no ques tion of the insanity which, for the sake 01 hu man nature, we trust may be established.— London Spectator.

There was the usual interchange of courtesies and sentiments, and a resolution was finally adopt ed to the effect that wool was a great institu tion per se, and that it never appeared in more attrative form than when it was made up into line cloth, and finally fashioned into elegant garments by the famous firm of Itockhill Wilson, of the Brown Stone Clothing Hall, NOG. 603 and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth.

FINANCLAL \ AND COMMERCIAL, There was a fair share of business doing at the stock board yesterday. Prices, however, show no material variation. In Government loans there it; not much activity, but the sales were at better. figures. The new 5.205 sold at 1 0 5%, an advance of %, and the old at 106%. A few lots of 7.30 s sold at 99%. City and State loans were steady at previous figures. The share list is considerably irregular. Camden and Amboy was % higher, while Catawissa preferred declined' . Catawissa common was also a shade lower. Reading closed steady at 53%; Little Schuylkill sold at 20; 57 was bid for Norristown, 56 for Minehill, 26 for North Penn sylvania, 23 for Philadelphia and Erie, and 48 for Northern Central. In city passenger railroad shares there was little doing. 75 was bid for Second and Third, 40 for Fifth and Sixth, is for Thirteenth and Fifteenth. 22 for Spruce and Pine,49 for Chestnut and Walnut, 65 for Wst Philadelphia, and 89 for Green and Coates; 23 was asked for Girard College, and 24 for Union.

In conformity with an act of Assembly re quiring the Governor to proclaim the condi tion of the State finances on September Ist, Governor Curtin has issued a proclamation, which is exceedingly gratifying, as showing a very heavy reduction of the State debt. It cannot but advance the credit of the Common wealth, while it proves the good management and financial skill of all connected with the State administration, The reduction in the debt it, $746,811.26. On the Ist of December, 1864, the debt of rennayivania was 09,379,602; but the State held bonds of the Pennsylvania and Erie Railread Companies to the amount of 510,300,000, so that the actual debt was but $29,079,603. Deduct from this the amount just extinguished, and we have the present actual debt of the State only $28,333,792.

Eventually, when a decision is arrived at by the Secretary, the public will be supplied with a fractional currency the sue. cessful imitation of which will baffle the skill of the oldest counterfeiter. It will be well nigh impossible to produce the paper outside of the Treasury building, and from its texture and finish the least expert in money will be able to distinguish the genuine note. Not the least among the many excellencies of the new currency is the fact that it will wash. The advices by the Scotia in reference to American interests are of a satisfactory tenor.
