The Savannah Daily Herald THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, ISO# FKO.n Ol'R EVE.M>G EDITION OF YESTERDAY. 1 State Convention. The Southern Recorder, of the Ist, says that the convention called by Governor Johnson to assemble in Miiledgeville on the fourth Wednesday in October, will be com posed of three hnndred and one delegates, the same number that composed the seces sion convention. It is not probable that many dunes will devolve upou them, and we presume that they will be through with in a week or ten days at most. The repeal of the ordinance of secession, and the rati fication of the action of the Federal Govern ment in relation to slavery, will probably be its leading measures. The Constitution, as it formerly stood, with a few exceptions, will likely be re-adopted. The Convention, we apprehend, as it has full power, will, af ter redistricting the State, provide at an early day—we presume that the first Wed nesday in December—for the election of Governor, members of Congress and mem bers or the Legislature. By this being done the whole machinery of our State Govern ment may bo put in motion before the first of January—our Governor in the full dis charge of his duties, onr members of Cou gressin their seats, and the legislature, by its action, having finally disposed of the status of the negro, everything will have settled down in sufficient time for planters to decide as to their source of dependence for the ensuing year s crop. North Carolina Corro.s Released. —When Gen. Johnston surrendered the State of North Carolina had several huudred bales of cotton on hand. Soon after the surrender, this cotton was taken in charge by the agents Os the United States Treasury Department, as it was alleged that the cotton had been purchased to be used by the State inpay ment for clothes, arms and provisions for her soldiers. Some of the cotton was sent to New York, and sold. A full and fair representa tion having been made to the‘President of the true financial condition of the State, he ordered her cotton to be restored to her, and the proceeds of all that had been sold to be paid to her agents. North Carolina is now well provided for, having in her possession ample funds to com mence her civil government with the expen ses of the convention and the legislature that must follow it, can be paid without incon venience to any one. The partico in front of the Surratt house at Washington, has been literally hacked to pieces by curiosity'hunters, and one went so far, the other day, as lo offer a colored servant of the. house SIOO for any piece of Mrs. Surrat's wearing apparel she could secure. Thertf is a “lobster factory" at Jone3port, Maine, where 500 lobsters are cooked daily and 400 pounds of the meat are daily put in air tight cans of one and two pounds each. Some 130 persons are engaged in catching the fish and sealing the cans. A New Commander op tub Post at Au gusta.— Lieut. Col. J. M.

Mutiny at Sea—Horrible Scenes on Board a French Ship. The Pari# correspondent of the London Staisays: “A frightful tragedy has occurred on board the Foederis Area, a three masted mer chant ship, which sailed in June, 18G4, from' the port of Cette for Vera Cruz, having ou board a cargo ol vermouth, absinth, and other spirituous liquors. The commander, Captain Ricbbourg, appears to have been a man of remarkably mild nature ; his lieu tenant, M. Aubert, ou the contrary, was en dowed with an active and euergetic tem perament. The crew were chiefly Bretons, recruited in different seaports j oue of the men was "a Corsican of the name of Orsiui The Ftederis Area was but a few day* at sea when the men conspired ugainst the life ot the first lieutenant. One evening, when ■within sight of the Cape Verd Island, thev agreed to make a row in the forecastle wmch would attract M. Aubert to that part of the vessel. He naturally went aiuon them to enforce order, and was roqyyed, bv the men armed with cailasses. Wounded in several places, he yet struggled manfully against the overwhelming numbers of his savage assailants, one ot whom seized the broken handle ot the pump, with which they almost finished their work M Au bert was then pitched overboard ’ but with wonderful strength, though bleeding and mortally miured, managed to scramble on deck. He was, however, seized aud a sec ond time pitched overboard. “Captain Ricbbourg, hearing the conflict that was going on at the far end of the shin rushed from his cabin to see what he could do. He was instantly attacked, lie quietly asked the crew what he haa done to displease tiein, and even reminded them of his kind and considerate conduct towards theta. They said he was to die. He replied that he would ask them a favor, and that was to kill him withont suffering. Whereupon, they* threw him overboard. He swam tor some distance after the vessel, which was going at a slow rate, and was heard to say before- he sank, *£h bien, bon voyage .' You will all cut your own throats.” These. murders satisfactorily accomplished, the barrels of spirituous liquor were4irought on deck, and the orgie which ensued ended in the cook committing suicide by leaping over thtrbulwarks into the sea, to escape the fate of Lieutenant Aubert. The carpenter was given the command ot the ves sel, and a paper signed by the crew, which bound each to secresy on paiu of death. It suddenly occurred to some of these worthies that a little cabin boy might betlay them. They desired him to throw a bucket over the side. While the eliiid was learning over the bulwark to execute tbe order he was thrown overboard. The unfortunate child swam after the vessel for some distance, and only sank from exhaustiob. For want of wiud tbe ship was A Danish vessel picked up the crew and landed them at Cape Verd. There a French man-of-war, the Mouge, took them on board and brought them to Brest, where an inquiry was instituted. The men kept to tbe same St ry—that their ship had sprung a leak, and me captain, first lieutenant and cabin-boy, having gone below while the crew were get ing the boats ready to secure the ship's pa pers, chronometer, &c., were lost, the ship having suddenly gone down. The court WiM satisfied with this story and dismiss*.! the men; but M. Aubert, bimaelf an officer hi tho uavy, thought he detoe led some incon sistencies, aud induced the police to take up one Chicot, whom he traced to Nantes. On his examination before the police magistrate of that city his story was found to differ sligbtlv from that related by him and Lis comrades at Brest. However, nothing tangi ble could be ascertained, and Chicot was again dismissed. He lived with bia mother, who remarked his strange depression, aud finally drew from him a detailed narrative of the facts, which she at once sent to the Judge destruction. Six men are already in custo dy, writs are out agaiust two who embarked at Nantes in vessels Itound for distant ports, and as considerable time must elapse before they can lie captured, the trial cannot come on till the winter assizes." A Family Murdered by- Mormon -Dnnlt<«.’ The Council Bluffs (Iowa) Nonpareil says: “A letter just received by a gentleman of onr acquaintance from a trustworthy person in Utah, gives the details ol a wholesale murder of a family of six persoDs by a gang of Brigham's -Damtes or ‘Destroying Angela.’ j Our iuiorinant was intimately acquainted I with the unlortunate victims, and says they had been tbe objects of reniless pcr-ecution by ‘the brethren' for some time past. They had all been members of the church iu bigu standing, and familiar with the inside work of Brig, amisin. Latter;}’ they had been se riously suspicioned of disloyalty to the church, | aud were supposed to he making prepara- , rations to get out of the territory, au event I which the ‘Angels’ were instructed to pre vent, as the people knew, and would proba bly say after leaving Ziou, many things which the good name oi the church would uot per- j mit to be made public. The parlies knew* | that they were w atched, and took every pre caution to elude the vigilance of the ‘Da- nites ’ They started ostensibly for the pur pose of changing their residence to the east ern side of the territory, but really intending to come on to the Stales, and were accom panied by two joung men who were not members' of HgLeiiurch. When they hud been out were eucamped in a canon about fifty miles from Salt Lake, one of Young's bishop* came to the camp, aud told them they must move immediately or they would all be murdered by the In dians ; they were loth to start at first, but the bishop iusisted and they finally consent ed to follow him. He ltd them to a ‘secure camping place,’ several units distant from the public road, anu there left them. “The following night a company of saea disguised us Indians, came upon the camp and murdered every member of the party except the two young men, who returned to the settlement and informed the frieuda of the tamily what had happened. • These statements may be relied upon as true; we are in possession of tbe names of all the parties, but not at liberty to mate the same public, as the iuformers, if known to the ‘Danites,’ would share the same fate." A New Law of Partnership in England. The new partuership law rcottyrtly passed by the British Parliament provides that the atl vauce of money by way of loan to u person eugaged or about to engage in trade or any undertaking, upon a contract in writing with such person that the lender shall receive a rate of interest varying with the profits, or shall receive a share of the profits arising from carrying oa such trade or undertaking, shall not ot itself constitute the lender a part ner with the person or persons carrying on such trade or undertaking, or render bimseli responsible as such. No person being a widow or child of the deceased partner of a trader, and receiviug by way of annuity « portion of the profits made by aDy such trader in his business, shall, by reason only of such receipt, be deemed to be u partner of, or to be subject to any liabilities incurred by such trader. No person receiviug, by way of an nuity or otherwise, a portion or the prolits of any business, in consideration of the sale by auction of the goodwill of such businey., shall, by reason only of such receipt, be deemed to be a partner of, or be subject to the liabilities of, the person carrying on such businem. In the event of a trader, as stated, beiug adjudged a bankrupt, or taking the Insolvent debtors* act, or eu teriUftjuto an arrangement to pay bis credi tois loss than tweuty shillings in the pound, or dying iu insolvent circumstances, the lender ol any such loau shall not be entitled to record any portion of his principal, or of the profits or interest payable in respect of such loau, nor shall any su&i# vendor of u goodwilj be entitled to record any such pro fits, uutil the claims of the other creditors of the trader lor valuable consideration in mo ney or money’s worth have been salisfictl.

Each Assistant Commissioner will be careful, in the establishment of sub-districts, to have the ofilce of his ugent at some point easy of access for the people of the sub-district. He will have at least one ngent, either a citizen, military officer, or enlisted man, in each sub-district. This agent must lie thoroughly instr ucted in his du ties. lie will he lurnished with the proper blanks for contracts, and will iustliute methods adequate to meet tbe wants of his district In accordance with the rules of this Bureau No fixed rates of wages will be pre scribed for a district, but in order to regulate fair wages in givt n individual cases, tbe agent should have in mind minimum rates for iris own guidance By care ful inquiry os to the hire of an able-bodied man when the pay went to the master, he will have an approxi mate test of the value of labor. He must of course consider the entire change of circumstances, .and be sure that the laborer husuue protection against avarice and extortion. Wages bad better be aechred by alien on tbe crops or land. Employers are de-lrcd to enter into written agreements with employees, setting forth stated wages, or seenrinrr an interest in the land or crop, or both. All »uch agreements will be approved by tbe nearest agent, and a duplicate filed In his office. In case there should be no agent within reach, the nearest postmaster will forward the duplicate of con tracts direct to tbe Assistant Commissioner for tbe State. Attention is specially called to section 4 of the law establishing the Bnrcun, witb regard to setting opart land to “every male citizen, whether refugee or freed man,” Ac., and the same arrangement is recommend ed when it can be effected, between private parties. Already many farmers have rented lands to freedmen and relugees This course is a recognition of the gen eral principal in the law. In order to enforce the fulfillment nf contracts on both contracting parties, the Commissioner of the Bu reau lays down no general rule—the Assistant Com missioner must use the privileges and authority be already bas. Provost courts, military commissions, local courts, when tbe freedmen uud refugees have equal rights with other people, are open to his use. In the grout majority ot ca-es bis own arbitrament, or that of bis ageut, or the settlement by referees, wil be sufficient. No Assistant Commissioner, or agent, is authorized to tulerute compulsory uupuid labor, except ibr tbe legal punishment of crime. Suffering may result to some extent, but suffering is preferred to slavery, and is to some degree the necessar y consequence of events. In all actions tbe officer sbould never forget that no substitute for slavery, like apprenticeship without proper con-ent, o.- peonage, (i. e., either holding the people by debt, or cnnfliiiiig them, without consent, to tire laud by any system,; will be tolerated. Tire Assistant Commissioner will designate one or more ot iris agents to act as tbe general superinten dent of schools (one for each State; for relugeca aud freedmen. This officer will rvork as much us possible in conjunction with State officers wbo may have school matters iu charge. It a general system Ann lie adopt ed for a Stare, it is well; but if not, ne will at least take cognizance of all that Is being done to educate refugees and freedmen, secure proper protection to schools aud teachers, promote method and efficiency, correspond with the benevolent agencies which are supplying his Held, and aid the Assistant Commission er in making his required reports. , Surgeon C. W. Horner, Chief Medical Officer of the Bureau, will have the general supervision of medical mailers connected with refugees and freedmen. Tbe Assistant Commissioners will instruct their medical officers, as they have instructed other officers, to make the medical department self-slmporting as tar as possible. All public addresses of a character cuVulated to create discontent are reprehensible ; but I lie Assistant Commissioner uud bis agent* must explain, by con stant recapitulation, the prluciples, laws, and regula tions nf lids Bureau, toad parlies cnuecrued. It is reeomtnended to the Assistant Commissioners to draw up in writing a catclul summary to be publicly and privately read by agents throughout their respective districts. O. O.
