Ctt r,cso, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1865. THE SCIIITHEIN CONVENTIONS. The Conventions of the recent insurgent States are evidently profoundly sensible that their action will have a direct and powerful bearing upon the material interests of the southern people. No such bodies have ever met in the slave States. For the first time since the beginning of the Govern ment, fundamental principles are embodied in the organic law, and rights, previously only practically exercised by a few, are about to be fairly distributed among the - mass. And while we of the non-slave bolding sections are vexing ourselves about their concerns, these Southern conventions are gradually but surely applying the true remedies. One of the first subjects taken up is the readjustment of the basis of represen tation—a subject that reaches the delicate consideration of the future civil and political status of the colored race. A distingwished gentleman, writing to the Washington Chronicle, from Raleigh, North Carolina, under date of October 4, says : rhe ba,sis 2/ oepresentatlon is to be the white population. The meaning of this is that the western counties will not submit, as hereto fore, to be dominated by a representation of the non-voting negroes of the coast. How, then, eint the people of the State, and of the whole South, expect that the people of the free States will submit to the inequality Every one of the conventions which has yet assembled has taken this identical cause of basing representation on white population, They certainly cannot complain, then, it the North shall insist upon a reduction of Southern representation in Congress to the same Stan. lard, the consequence of which will be to give the whole of what has heretofore been the niaveholding States a'representation of sixty two instead ofninety-live.ll Precisely the same issue was raised in The Alabama Convention. Another corre spondent, long a leading Philadelphia De mocrat, and now writing powerful letters on the Union side for this journal, describes the action of that body on the question of representation, in a letter dated Montgome ry, October 4, as follows : "A two days debate was had upon the sub ject of representation in the State Legislature, the struggle being forpolitical power between North Alabama, where there are few negroes, and South Alabama, where the freedmen .greatly outnumher the white population. .L . 4 or Alabama.waa successful, and the repro- Eentation in the Legislature was fixed upon the basis of white population. Perhaps the decision is wrong in principle, but the friends of the freedmen rejoice at it, as it tends to take political preponderance from the hands of those who were recently the masters of the negroes and who might be disposed to make oppressive laws for their regulation." Although this action has reference only to State representation, it is easy to see how it will operate In regard to the future eon_ gressional representation of the South. It is important also as an eloquent admission that the Southern politicians are fearfnlAof the attempt to represent the freedmen with out giving them their civil rights, at least, such rights as they enjoy in a State like Pennsylvania. Thus slowly, but surely, the good work goes on. TEE GALA DAY A few more hours and the ringing of the hells will announce the advent of the day for which the firemen of our city have so anxiously awaited. Many hours of labor and thousands of dollars have been expend ed in preparing for it, and during the brief interval between sunrise and sunset, of Monday next, Philadelphians will have a scene presented to their gaze such as they never before have witness- cm the line of the parade will send ort its old men and matrons, young men and maids, to view the grand display, and from 3mndreds of miles north and south, east and west, will come strangers to gratify their curiosity andNive eclat to the occa sion. The reputation of our Fire Depart ment is honorable and world-wide, and in 310 other portion of the globe can be found a body organized for the preservation of the property of their fellow, citizens from the ravages of the dreaded element who are so active and zealous in their public duties, more erderly and respected in their private life, and who, amid all the excite ment through which they are called to pass, unite their energies and efforts more _harmoniously. When the fall of Sump ter rallied around the emblem of free dom the patriotic men of the North, the members of the Philadelphia Fire Department were among the first to an swer the call of their country; and how faithfully and gallantly they fought during the succeeding four years of struggle! The dead firemen who now rest beneath the soil of almost every Southern State, of Antietam and of Gettysburg, and the one armed veterans, who are among the first to answer to the signal of alarm, are sufficient evidence. Brave soldiers during the war, in time of peace they are again ready to perform their duties as firemen, and also to participate M a festive gathering, such as that which is announced to take place on Monday. Nothing has been left undone which could add to the beauty of the display, and no event of the past has ever equalled that for the coming of which every person in the community is now awaiting. EDITORIAL LETTER. CComeoontloneo of the Washington Chronicle.] PHILADELPHIA, October 21605 Among the many things that the Copperhead Chiefs did not promise to do, if they were per initted to administer the Government, wanto n continue and to support the financial policy established by Mr. Chase and admirablygnard ad and improved by Mr, McCulloch. They lied sworn vengeance against so many of the mea sures recommended by Mr. Lincoln and sup ported by Mr.• Johnson, that, when they Thought of coming round to the latter, the only thing they had to offer him as a guarantee of the sincerity of their fealty was their word of honor—rather a frail collateral you will say. _But en the subject of the financial system they had taken high ground. That was set apart for their especial, most exquisite torture. No mercy was to be shown to it. It was the sum of all villainies. The first to . raise the cry against it was ex-President Buchanan. Ile advised his friends to avoidinvestments in Go- Vernment bonds, and to turn all their other stocks into real estate, following the example himself by buying heavily in land in the adja cent county of Chester and in his Own neigh borhood in Lancaster. You will thus per ceive-how steadily he exemplified his own teaching of distrust in the power of the Go vernraent to save itself. Most of his disci pies followed his lead, and few or none of the. Copperhead_chiefs are found on _the 3..lretiali catalogue. of WA - Crib= to our national loans. Thus fortified they busied themselves in prophecies of national ruin ; and while safe on their farms, assisted to fulfil these prophecies by advising resistance to tlic draft, by denouncing the public authorities, by voting against the Union party, and by hurling derision and contempt upon a bleed ing and struggling country. The ecatacy of these patriotic citizens as greenbacks depre ciated and gold premium advanced was only 'surpassed by their Joy over distiSt¢r¢ to the Union army; indeed, the two emotions were born of the same instinct of disloyalty, and were dependent the one upon the other. That Many of these men made gambling in gold a regular and a profitable 'business is as true as that many more of them were justly ruined by This practice. lint so slightly affected were the people by these examples, that the darker the gloom that settled upon the Union cause, and the greater the desperation of the rebels, the more eagerly they invested of their wealth in the public funds. Never was love of country 80 spontaneous and so sublime. Yhot scene In the national drama alone Stamped our mission as invincible and sure. The people came up to the work from every 3oyul corner of the eontinent. Every little saving seemed to set in and flow down into the national treasury. It was as if by one im pulse all the rivulets and streams of indi- Vidual wealth had been let loose to rush in one mighty torrent into the national treasury. Was it wonderful that the old nations Intited in mid career before a sight so hovel Or that their capitalists came over here to throw their millions into a safety bank so universally trusted I Or that the Govern anent felt the new lift poured into its gielt and exhausted frame'l Or that the army and navy Crushed their foes and swept the rebellion into titter and outer Chaos? It is only wonderful .that the Democratic leaders, even eoppered ever as they were with treason, could resist wbat became se general and so reliaious a Contagion. One of the strong instrumentali ties at work in the late elections is this air pervading interest and confidence in the na tional seehrities. People who never knew - what politics were except to vote the ..1./cmocratio ticket—people who, but for our naneial system, would have become the cneonseiOne tools of the vilest sympathizers - with treason—now feel, and act upon the feel- Ang, twit, it is not alone their duty, but their lndiyldnal interest, to ;vote with thom who *tamed, built up, and carryon the great finan cial system which has been so powerful a means of maintaining the Executive, and in defeating the rebellion. We keenly felt this 11151/lUMeiltality on Tuesday last in every eOntityof Our Commonwealth ; and we knew that, as the copperheads had denounced and derided that system, and were pledged to overthrow it if they ever succeeded, upon their heads would descend the heaVest storm of popular anger. And so it did. The Democrats affect to be surprised that they have been so very badly whipped. But that surprise will subside before the fact that the hams that - wielded the castigating rod were Democratic hands, and that, henceforth, they can receive no aid from thousands who only needed the practical experience of the past four years to be taught that the country has no enemy so deadly as these selfish and desperate Copperhead leaders. 1.3 - . W. F. I could not add a more forcible comment to this letter than the following recent article from the Baltimore _Daily Ccmimercial, s new paper of very promising ability : 1. ATIONALIZI24 THE CURRENCY One of those great changes needful to the steady advance of the nation, and which the statesmen of the past years of the republic almost despaired of ever seeing accomplished, lies been made almost naturally, at least easily, by the necessity of the extraordinary demands upon the treasury to support a four years, wantr r. was Where, in the years gone y. by, the couy plagued with a so likle uniform as to cause the unhappy holder of bank notes to submit to a new levy upon him at the frontier of every State, some thing worse than the traveller experiences in some of the European principalities, the dire necessities of the war and the brave and enlightened determination of the late Secre tary of the Treasury swept away the disability at one dash, so tkat at last we have a cur rency good from one end of the country to the other—an element in facilitating trade and preserving the country from the panics of the olden time ; such should cause in every one a feeling, of continuous exultation in contrast with the financial troubles of the years gone by. • In the new order of events, "wild cats , ' and the long list of kindred nuisances are no longer heard of ; and if the reader desires one remarkable illustration of the change we have noted, let him scan the following list of na• tional bank notes received recently in pay ment for the small sum, comparatively, of one hundred and six dollars, by a merchant of this city; Fayetteville, N, st • Paul, Minn 6,5 - Hudson, N.

New 'York liCity, Boston Here, now, are twenty-two different banking institutions, representing about half the num ber of States, the notes issued widely asunder ; yet taken without a question; and when we remember the common interests involved and associated, the fraternization encouraged by this sort of mutual trust, we are compelled to look upon it as an element of strength per petuating the Union not to be lightly re garded. The truth is, when we consider the conflict ing elements which for more than half a cen tury threatened the unity of the States, the diverse interests, the lack of assimilation in many particulars, the wonder now is that a rupture was postponed so long. But who can macula-to now the durability of a Union bound together by so manynew and stronglies? 'Who, when things once more settle to Sieir bear ings, will think of attempting to rend asunder interests which SO essentially make us one people? Again, whilst we may with reason regret that burden of debt upon the nation which for many a long year will compel economy and extraordinary self-denial before it is dis charged, yet it has been well said that it, too, is an additional bond of unity; that where diBIIDIOII Weald at once destroy the mil lions held by so - vast a number of iSeVA(We?, every holder of Government, securities is held and bound to that extent to sustain the system which sustains him. Revolu tion in 1860 meant much less financially, therefore, than it would now. Melt a Mania home might indeed be threatened remotely ; now it would inevitably reach at the first pro mise Of success, the pockets of the millions, the strong coffers of the capitalists, causing every one to tremble for his dearest earthly valuables. Let us congratulate ourselves, then, that for the future men will find little encour agement for sedition or revolt in the ranks of any class. Saved as by fire, the ordeal through which we have passed has given us assurance of the future Such as may well delight all to contemplate who truly love their country. " Sheridan's Ride." This famous production has received a fresh popularity in the recitation of it, on two recent occasions, in this city by thepoet-painter him. self. Those who heard Mr. Read declaim his own thrillinr• 'e syllables will never forget the lire and the fidelity of the interpretations. " Sheridan's Ride" has been translated into the Italian and German, and hasbeen run through the English press as one of the noblest epics of our war for freedom. As there have been tinted be- low. We understand that a been started among the liberal and 'loyal pa.. trons of art in this city to commission Mr. Read to delineate on canvas what he has so memorably embalmed in verse, and to hang the picture in one of our finest halls. There is every reason why this movement should succeed. Mr. Read is a native of Pennsylvania, of Philadelphia, and has come to live once more among us. He is equal to the task of painting this wonderful poem, and we predict that. when he finishes it, there is not an American city that would not order a copy of the work : SHERIDAN'S RIDE. BY THOMAS BUCHANAN IMAM Hp, from the South at break of day, Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay, The affrighted air with a shudder bore, Like a herald in haste to the chieftain's door, The terrible grumble and rumble aria roar, Telling the battle was on once more, And Sheridan twenty miles away. Arid wider still those billows of war Thundered alons the horizon's bar And louder yet into Winchester rolled The roar of that red sea uncontrolled, Malting the blood of the listener cold, As he thought of the stake in that fiery fray, And Sheri an twenty miles away. But there is a road from Winchester town, A good, broad highway leading down; And there, through the flush of the morning light, A steed, as black as the steeds of night, Was seen to pass as with eagle flight; As if he knew the terrible need, He stretched away with his utmost speed ; Hills rose and fell, but his heart was gay, With Sheridan fifteen miles away. Still sprung Prom those swift hoofs, thundering south, The dust, like the smoke from the cannon's mouth, Or the trail of a comet weeping; faster and faster, Foreboding to traitors the doom of disaster ; The heart of the steed and the heart of the master Were beating like prisoners assaulting their walls, Impatient to be wbere tbe battle-field calls ; Eivery nerve of the charger was strained to full play, With Sheridan only ten miles away. tinder bis spurning feet, the road Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed, And the landscape sped away behind, Like an ocean flying before the wind ; And the steed, like a lark fed with furnace ire, Swept on, with his wild eyes full of fire.

To be candid, I was exceed ingly prejudiced against all single thread ma chines, but having learned that yours made the tut iated-loop stitch, which renders the sewing effectual and strong, I determined not to pass it by, but to examine it, if possible, with an unbiased mind. it so happened that I called at your office, first of all, and while there took occasion to ask what you thought of certain other machines. Your reply, that they were well represented," and that you desired to make " no comparisons" proved that you en tertained no dishonorable feelings of petty jealeuey towards your rivals in business, )!‘ly favorable impressions were still further strengthened, when a little later I listened , with perfect disgust, to a studed and systems' tic abuse Of your machines by parsons unwor thy to be called your competitors. They 'eeemed to fear that you would do your full share, Or more, of business, unless they could by same means counteract your influence. I then and there concluded that -I would buy none other than your "Singte Thread Machine,' as it was styled in derision. I therefore re turned to your office and selected one of Your lately improved machines, with the work-box enclosure, for which I paid you sitxpeight Aollars—the best spent money of all my life. I received no instruction, hut readily learned from your book of directions, all that I could :wish to know, and now feel perfectly compe tent to do all the household sewing. I am par . , Tim:duly expert in the use of liemmeri Feller, Braider, Tucker ; Ae.

'rue following "first-rate notice" appeared in the Bulletin of TELUTSday : "EXTRACTING TENTH WITHOUT PAIN.---,This problem has been accomplished at last.

This is performed by simply ad ministering nitrous oxide, or " Laughing Cas, ll as it is commonly called. " The Doctor gave a lecture at Concert Hall last evening, which was attended by a largo number of scientific gentlemen and other citizens. He proved the harmlessness of the gas by freely inhaling it Ulmseif, cud the de cayed teeth of several persons in the audience were extracted while under its influence, and all declared that they experienced no pain whatever during the operation. The Doctor also exhibited a trophy of his success in the shape of a list of nearly 7,000 names of persons in all parts of the country who had been bene fited by his system. "Partly in a spirit of scientific inquiry, and considerably more with a desire to get rid of a troublesome stump of lOng standing, we visit ed the Doctor at his olhce, NO. 737 Walnut street, this morning.

The colliery of tills Company is located ecar Ply mouth, Luzerne county, fa., on the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railroad. and is now in active ope ration, mining and sending to market daily about two hundred Ash coal the purest and be, t free-burn ing White Ash coal in the entire ,iiitkracite. region. It is bright in fracture, clear of elate and bone, one ton of which will go as far as one• and-a-quartertons of the majority o.f coal sent to market. By a very small outlay the capacity of the mines can be in creased to c ne hundred thousand tons annually. One of the advantages of owning stock In this Company may be stated thus: Ten shares, at $lO per share, will cost +sloo . oo 7. his will entitle the holder to ten tons of coal at cost, or about $7 to $7.50 per ton 75 00 Total cost of 10 shares and 10 tons of c0a1....W6 00 Leavin the actual cost of each share, after deducting ten tons of coal at present price, #ll 40 41e present price of Coal is Cl 4 per ton.

Investment will be seen at a glance. The same ad vantages apply to one or any number of shares. The company owns, in fee simple, a large and valuable tract of land, with an aggregate depth of near sixty feet of pure coal, containing ten to twelve millions of tons of coal; also, all the Machinery, Railroads, Wharves, Cars, Shutes, Screens, Horses, Mules, Blacksmith and Carpenter Shops, Miners' Houses, Store, and Stock of Cioods necessary for a large and increasing business.

AND THE INTERESTS ON SHARE- Shares of stock, $lO. entitling the shareholder to ona ton of coal annually and perpetually at its ac tual cost, which, at present market rates, is a saving of $6 t o $7 per ton, returning in two or three years his entire investment, and becoming ever after a per manent source of revenue to himself anti Children, While the shares are sold at this low price we can .chow, by calculation the remarkable fact that each share secures to the holder the ownership of more than one hundred and fifty tons of coal in the mines to ht credit. The title being In fee simple, each share holder becomes a bona-fide owner al the .206.0611i1. and interested in the profits of the business.
