THE NEWS FROM MEXICO.
When Senur - LEn. 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

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

[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.

Mark these apostles ! how, instead of coming

from the ordeal, endeavoring to skulk among

THE SBA-SIMPENT.— Thu sca.serpent , s not

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.

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.—

THE WOOL MANUFACTURING INTERIEST.--4110
wool manufacturers throughout the country
have been having a convention in this city and
a grand banquet at the Continental. 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,

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1865.
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.

mers' and Mechanics'; 42% for Commercial;
28% for Mechanics'; 45 for Penn Township ; 52%

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.

The printing of the fractional curreneynotes
upon the new membrane paper has been tem
porarily suspended, on account of some disk
greement between the inventor and the Trea
sury Department. 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.

gust 22 :
We this day had an interview with General
Slough, who has been up__ to Argentine dis
trict, otherwise called McClellan Mountain,
and who returns, we are happy to say, with
even more favorable impressions than be
fore. Development is the order of the day ;
a handsome trail is building, and the area
of the district is constantly Wending, The
General is no doubting Thomas; he believes
our silver mines second to none, and is de
termined to thoroughly test them for him
self. For this purpose, after - a short visit to
Denver, he designs to return to Argentine, for
a more extended stay. He will open some
lodes in which he is interested, and perhaps
put up some furnaces at Georgetown for ex
perimenting.
