Hon. William H. Seward, Sec’y of State:— Sir—l have the honor to lay before you a copy of the Constitution of Mississippi as amended, together with copies of the several ordinances adopted, Which I hope will be satisfactory. Respectfully, your obedient seivant. ’ _ r T _ W. L- SIIARKET, Provisional Governor of Mississippi. To which the Secretary of State has re plied :- To His Excellency Wa. L. Sharkey Pro visional Governor of the State of Missis sippi, Jackson =— Sir—Your letter of the 28th ult., accom panied by a copy of the amended constitu tion of Mississippi, as adopted by the recent convention of the State, has been received and will engage the early attention of the President, I have the honor to be your Ex cellency’s, obedient servant, William H. Seward. Organizino the House. —Mr. Wendell Phillips, in a recent letter, expressed alarm lest the Clerk of the House of Representa tives, Mr. McPherson, might admit members from re-organized Southern States applying for admission.. It appears that the law gov erning the Clerk is as follows; The Clerk shall make a roll, and place thereon the names of all persons, and of such persons only, whose credentials show that they were regularly elected, in accordance with the laws of the United States [Stat. at Large, Yol. XH, p. 804. It is stated that Mr. McPherson has given his opinion on this as follows : “ Ist. That no law of the United States authorizes the election of representatives in any of the insurrectionary States. “2d. That no ‘law ot any of the States’ autbprize an election held at the call of a ‘Provisional Governor’ and from which large numbers of legally recognized voters (the unsworn rebels; are excluded.” ’ J A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from the Mississippi convention, states that an official dispatch from Washing ton was read before the convention advising the assumptioif by the convention of the state’s quota of the national debt, and the issuiDg-of the bonds therefor. It was hinted that, without auch action on the part of the convention, there might be some trouble a- U\ad. Father Miller of the Catholic cbjurcli at Jefferson City, Mo., has announced to his congregation that be should continue to preach Without taking the oath of loyalty, and that, if interfered with, be should ex pect them to come to his assistance. The New York Timas states that General Carl Scb.urz, whilst traveling through the South upon-a special mission from the gov ernment, is writing letters to Northern pa per, the tone of which letters, it is believed, is calculated to do more injury than the Schurz mission is likely to do good. The in tention of tbe government when Schurz was sent to the South was to have him quietly perform his mission and make an official re port to the war department. Clerical Sarcasm.— The Church Journal has this bit of .sarcasm : We hear a rumor tbat the Episcopal Recorder and The West ern Episcopalian are going to agitate the next general convention to alter the opening words of tbe Gloria' in Excels so thrt it shall read: “Glory be to God on high; and on earth, more hanging among men." But we believe there is no foundation for the story, except the tone of some of the editorials of those papers. Tbo men who were arrested in Cherokee county, Ala., last week, and taken to Chat tanooga, for resisting United States soldiers, engaged in collecting stolen government horses, deny that they were a duly sum moned sheriff’s poise,, and thought they were engaged in upholding the laws, and preventing robbery by men lo the nation uaiipro- THE NEW YORK GOLD CHECK FORGERIES. Eleven Indictments against Edward Ketchuin for Forgery and one for Larceny. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. [Before Judge Russell.) The Grand Jury oq Friday last brought in twelve indictments against Edward Ketch um, the gold forger. The following is a synopsis of- them: One for uttering sixtr-niue checks to the Importers and Traders’ Bank. One.for uttering thirty-two checks to the Fourth National Bank. One for uttering sixteen checks to Dabney & Maxan. One for uttering and issuing checks on Von Hoffman. One for uttering and issuing checks on Marcousa. One for uttering and issuing checks on the Fourth National Bank. One for uttering and issuing checks on the Fourth National Bank. One for uttering and issuing checks on Dabney & Maxan. Three for uttering and issuing checks on various othar firms. There was also an indictment for larceny of Five twenty bonds, belonging to the State Bank of Hartford, of which 75 were of the value of SI,OOO each, 150 of the value of SSOO each, and 750 of the value of SIOO each. The following are the names of the wit nesses who testified before the Grand Jury: Wm. Leverich, President of the Bank of New York; Geo. N. Van Loan, of the firm of Charles Graham & Cos.; David Groesbeck, assignee of Graham & Cos.; Messrs. Bel knap, assignee of Ketchum &!Co.; A. Lane and B. Seaman, of the Fourth National Bank; W. Buell, ot the Merchants and Traders’ Bank; William A. Gibson, of the firm of Dabney & Maxan; L. Von Hoffman, banker; Mr. Marcousa, banker.; Miss Ives, Detective Gilmore. The accused will not be arraigned until Monday or Tuesday, when it is cxpectea'bis counsel, ex-Judge Allen, will be present. NEW ZEALAND. Tbe Rebellion and Reported Surrender of Wert-ion Pa—TUe Peaee Negotiations not Comummated—Opening of the Leg islature. The advices received some days since from New Zealand via Melbourne announced that tbe Mouri King had accepted the peace pro posals made by William Thompson. News has since been received to June 28th, via Panama, twenty-three days later than that previously on hand through British mails. The insurgents are still in arms, and tbe natives, at last accounts, had intrenched themselves in the Wcreroa Pa, where they were.besieged by Maj. Nookes and his men. The Wanganui Chronicle of' the 24th, just received at Auckland, contained a report signed by the Major setting forth that the rebels had consented to an unconditional sur render; but the steamship Aburiri, which brought this intelligence, also bore a contra dictory manuscript note of the editor of tbe Chronicle stating that tbe town was not yet occupied by the English. The Southern Cross attempts to explain tbe error by re marking that the natives had determined to surrender, but refused to do so bn discover ing that their assailants were British troops. They, however, expressed their willingness to yield to the colonial forces. As it was es timated that there were only about one hun dred and fifty rebels in the place their rendi tion was momentarily expected. The peace negotiations do not appear to have resulted as yet in any definite treaty.— William Te Whero, a friendly chief, passed through Alexandra, June 23d, on his return from a visit paid to Rewl, whom he bad ap plied to fln a peace mission. The success of bis endeavor to bring the crafty rebel to a sense of bis allegiance is not kuowD, but it is whispered that Rewi's actions were decidedly oped to suspicion. The Wanganui Chronicle announces that the General Assembly is to meet July 24th. It is believed, however, that that body will meet much earlier, and may possibly hold its first session July 15tb, the date fixed on the draft of proclamation having been re ceived in Auckland too late for the Goyer- nor’s signature. Til* Fall of tbe Republic in Mexico.' [From the Philadelphia Press.) In twenty-eight years the world has wit nessed almost many revolutions in that beau ful but brutalized and beleagured country. Governed by the Spaniards for two hundred and seventy-three years, a rule temporarily lost, and then only to be lost an and wod, until the condition ot the country, even under the rule of the people themselves, be came the theatre of periodical confusion and change—Mexico has at last lapsed into the hands of another strong European power. As we recur to the Mexican troubles before Napoleon came in with his stimulated yet plausible pretsxt, i: would almost seem im possible for a people so dislocated to be held together by any power, or to be permanently rescued from precisely such a fate as had be fallen them, Take the following sketch of nine years of internecine convulsions from 1851 to I860: Avista succeeded Herrera in 1851—was forced to resign in 1853, when Santa Anna was recalled, and for tbe filth time placed at the head of the Government! Attempting to perpetuate his rule, he was compelled to fly in 1855. Carrera succeeded and ruled for twenty-seven days, being driven out in his turn. Afterkome weeks of anarchy, Alvarez became President, and held power about two months, when he resigned in favor of Com onfort. He held the baton from December, 1855, till January, 1858, when the Conserva tive party got up a revolution, displaced him, and put. in Zuloaga. Juarez holds frorn Comonfort as his successor, and he still claims to be President. Zuloaga wfts beaten by General Ruble, in 1859, when Miramon again appeared, became chief of the Conser vatives, aud gradually making head against Juarez till I.ouis Napoleon appeared upon the scene; apd Miramon i9 acting like otber Mexicans, under his patronage and pay. Our next intelligence may be the flight of Juarez aud the formal establishment of French au thority in Mexico. We shall recur to this Important subject. • - 1 —— ( Factory Strikes.— The factory strikes at Utica, New York, now begin to assume a serious aspect. On Monday, as bad been feared, the operatives in tbe cotton mills struck. Now are there three large factories standing Idle In that city. No change has tafern place In the status of affairs at the woolen mills. The operatives nre resolved to have the day’s work reduced to ten hours or nothing, while the factory owners are de termined to close their factories Tather than to accede to the demand of the men, and they have already taken measures to sell out the stock of raw material on band, in order to close up the business of the -mills. The mills at Auburn have been closed for two weeks, tbe operatives there having also struck for ten houn a day. Tbe mill owners there acceded to tbe first request of the ope* rativw, but the latter extended their demand! till they finally called tor the ten hour sys tem. The factories refitted to accede to thlfi demand, and accordingly closed the mills. t tloai .Washington state tbat Gen. a handsome residence In London by hl» friend* in England SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1865. The Gee House Tragedy The Selina Times gives the following ac- 1 count of the late shooting case in that place: Our city, and particularly tbe occupants and guests of the Gee House, were thrown into a most intense state of excitement on the evening of the 30th ult., by the killing ot Mr. J. P. Nimtno, of Huntsville, and late Special Supervising Agent of the Treasury Department for this District, by Andrew Hosmer. of St. Louis, and formerly a com missioned officer of tbe United States army. Upon learning of this, bloody affray, we pro ceeded to t be above hotel and from Hie testimo ny rendered in before'the coroner’s jury, learn ed tbe following facts aud particulars, which would have been given in yesterday s issue, but for tbe lateness of the hour when the in vestigation was terminated. It seems from the testimony that some ill feeling had been previously existing ou the part of Hosmer against Mr. Nimmo, and that Hosmer had been, according to the statement of Mr. Nimmo, just before the fa tal and bloody recounter, traducing his character behind his back on tbe afternoon of that day. This, Mr. Nimmo had been in formed of, and while Hosmer was at supper, he entered and approached his [H s.] seat. Several words were passed, the import of which is not knoWD, when Mr. Nimtno struck Hosmer. Several blows were passed ■ and Hosmer prostrated, when parties| intey ferred and separated tnem. Tne friends of Mr.Nimmo prevailed upon him to go to his room, which he did. Hosmer repaired to the pfflve, and there, it seems, got his pistol and remarked tbat he would kill the d—d son of a b—h, and went up stairs, his friends endeavoring to prevent him. ; Mr. Nimmo went to his room, after the at" fray in tbe dining’ room, in company with Mr. Duval, who left him and returned down stairs. Mr. Grilling, of New York, was re quested by Mr. Duval to go up to Mr. Nim mo’s room and try and calm him. This lie did, and as he entered the room closed tbe door. Mr. Nimmo, immediately alter the en trance of Mr. Grifflng, seated himself, and began to read a newspaper. In five or ten minutes thereafter, someone rapped upon the door and forthwith unceremoniously opened it. This was Hosmer, and he stood in the door with a pistol in his hand. •At this moment, Mr. Grifflng sprang forward and endeavored, by exclamations, to attract the attention of Hosmer, and prevent his firing, iu order that he might approach near enough to disarm him, but before this could be-done, Mr. Nimmo had sprang from i)U seat, seized his pistoi, which was lying on the bureau, and fired at Hosmer, tbe bajl enter ing the door facing near Hosmer. The fire was instantly returned, the reports being so simultaneous that down stairs it was thought to be but a single report, Mr. Grifflng is positive that Mr. Nimmo fired first. Imme diately alter the discharge of Hosmer’s pis tol, Mr. Nimmo fell forward and expired in stantly, without a groan or struggle. The ball entered the base of the left ear. e The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Mr Nimmo was raised in Huntsville, in this State, but for several years previous to the war was a planter in Arkansas. At the outbreaking of .the war he entered the Con federate service, nnd was assigned to duty in the Quartermaster's Department, on ac count ol his feeble constitution, but imme diately after the fall, was appointed special supervising agent of the Treasury Depart ment for the district. He was a widower, and leaves, three little desolate children, who are with his relatives in Huntsville. During the time he was on duty in this city he gath ered around him many warm aud staunch friends, and was universally regarded as a perfect gentleman and -courteous • business man. His death is lamented by many in this section. Hosmer was arrested by Detective Duffy, United States service, and delivered over to the military authorities, who still have him in custody, but who intend turning him over to the civil authorities for trial. Emperor Nicholas ExercUing Toleration. An act of tolerance and even-handed jus tice is reported from Courlaud. Twenty years ago tbe Emperor Nicholas caused some 60,000 Livonians and Esthonians to secede lr«n tbe Protestant Church, to which their ancestors had been converted centuries ago by the Teutonic Knights. The proselytes were regarded as orthodox ever after, and a law being enacted at the same time tbat a Greek church should be built whenever sixty believers could be collected to attend Divine service, an effective stride seemed to have been made toward insuring tbe gradual Rus sification of a foreign and dissenting country. To the surprise, however, of the German nobility, who own the land, as well as of the Russian authorities, who hold sway over it, the half-wild Esthonians forming the country population conld not be persuaded to accept tbe orthodox creed forced upon them. Though they had been but very indifferent Protestants, and though what they really be lieved in were the gods oi the water and the wind, together with the rest of tbe heathen ish superstitions of the Finnish tribes as formed a thousand years ago, they had been too loDg accustomed to the forms of Protestant worship to regard the Greek Liturgy as the right and the proper thing. They might be obliged to go to church now and then, but they would not allow their marriages to be celebrated by the bearded clergy, or their children to be christ ened according to the Greek ritual; and as no Protestant clergyman dared minister to the spiritual wants of people claimed by the State and its ecclesiastical establishment, the consequence was that there were no mar riages celebrated and no children baptized among the proselytes of the late Russifying period. Moved by their demoralized condi tion, and yielding, it is believed, to tbe pray ers of some of his German advisers, the Em peror Alexander has now been pleased to permit tbe people to bring up their children in the Protestant faith, whether or no their marriages may have been concluded in a Russian church. The decree has by no means elicited the applause of the Russian national press, whose ardent desire—a desire second only to that urging the Russification of Poland—was to secure the application of a denationalizing process to the mixed German and Finnish in habitants of the Baltic provinces. In most papers you will find some more or less mourn ful article on the subject, generally accom panied by the remark that the German no blemen of the Baltic provinces, nnd the great immunities they enjpy in them, for them selves. —London Times. Georgia Exporting and Importing Com pany.—A statement of the history of this company—in which a number of persons in this city and other parts of Southwestern Georgia were interested—was recently sub mitted to J. R. Dillin, Supervising Special Agent of the First Special Agency of Geor gia, and his opinion was given to the Secre tary of the Treasury, Hon. Hugh McCul loch, in submitting tbe case* to tljat officer, that the cotton originally mem bers of the company, and since returned to them, was not liable U° seizure and con fiscation. We are pleased'to learn that Mr. Dillin has telegraphed to Col. B. L. Mott tbat the Sec retary of the Treasury decides that the cot ton Is not liable to seizure by tbe govern ment. This decision, of course, wilt have the effect of releasing the cotton seized,, whenever it may be.
