PlIILADELpHI ^ Ttlurflda> . j„ nfc u.iaid.-Afler the witu tins sectiou of the Empire State, I am afraid Senate had adopted the constitutional amendment, has had a demoralizing effect upon them. We hem- 1 ju»t concurred in by the H.-uee of Representatives] from manv munwa that , , Governor Curtin addressed a circular hitter to the Governors pi all the loyal States suggesting the pro priety of union and action in calling together their Legis)ttur«fe for the ratification ol that amendment. It we make the following extracts : Shortly before twelve o’clock all the principal stores on King, Meeting, Broad, East Bay and other streets comenced closing, and by noon there was an almost entire suspension of business. Some of the largest houses had draped their doors in mourniug. By one o’clock in the afternoon all the line omnibusses, hired and private carriages, and other vehicles were con tinually filled by crowds on their wav to witness the celebration. At the Ann street depot of the South Carolina Railroad long trains of cars, kindly placed at the disposal of the Ladies’ Association, by the Pres idents and Superintendents of the South Carolina and Northeastern Railroads, were constantly filled with passengers, including a large proportion of ladies and all classes of citizens—native and adopted, young and old, and of all denominations. Long before five o'clock, the hour appointed for the commencement of the exercises, a large assemblage had gathered around that portion of the grounds at Magnolia which embraced the graves of between six and seven hundred of the heroic spirits whose me- mory, and the principles for which they fought and died, the ceremonies of the occasion were intended, by the patriotic ladies who inaugurated the move ment, to revive and perpetuate. Many of the ladies present were attired in deep mourning, while a large number of the younger members of the Ladies’ Asso ciation and spectators were arrayed in white. The graves had been previously cleared and raised with fresh made mounds. In front a small stage for the speakers and choir had been erected and dressed with evergreen, with a frame surmounted by a draped Palmetto shield, bearing the inscription, “Though in moumincr not. rliaVwvnr\re»rl *’ A t t V> n. ■port untrue. Your merchants and business men cannot find a better opportunity for renewing their former relations with the country merchants, during the present dull summer, than by visiting this point. Most of the lat&r will be sojourn ing here, and it will add greatly to the enjoyment of all parties should your people pay us a visit. I am sure all true Southerners will find congenial society hero, which they cannot enjoy at any Northern water ing place. More than all, they will hero find a health restorative which is not equaled by any mineral water in the United States. Now, that the Central Road is completed, a large number ol the beautiful and elite | of your city are anxiously looked for. mourning, not dishonored.*’ At the foot was a wreath inclosing a bent Palmetto' tree, with the inscripfWh underneath, “Bent, but not broken.’’ Among others who took an active parr, and manifested intense in terest in the proceedings, were a number of youths in uniform, red shirts and black pants, members of a juvenile lire company named after the illustrious Gen. it. E. Lee. A colored man, who had lost a limb light ing tor the Confederate cause at the battle of Secession ille, was also present, watching with interest and as With regard to the qualities of the water at this point 1 know many of your readers are posted : but as some may not be, I will give a list ol the diseases it almost invariably cures, if properly tested, namely : rheumatism, dyspepsia, fulling of womb, gravel, and all diseases of the skin. It also frequently cures liver disease, paralysis, dropsy and jaundice. It works upon the whole system, yet at the same time affects most the organ most diseased. It assists the plivsi- cian in the cure of any and all diseases except ‘con sumption. So, if your people are sick, let them come and be healed; if they desire to escape epidemics and diseases incident to the season and climate, this is the place for them to visit, for physicians have no prac tice worth talking of in this neighborhood With regard to accommodations, they have never been better.

Yates, followed by the and members of the Association, - members hoir and others—was formed and proceeded to < »lticer of the the stage. Accompanying this procession, and forming a con spicuous and component part of it, was the “Garland Committee ot- the assiciation, arrayed uniformly jn white muslin dresses, with mourning collars, neck- ties and belts, and wearing a badge on the left shoulder ot black ribbon, adorned with a minature Palmetto ee. Arrived at the stage, the exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. W. B. Yates. All impressive and eloquent address was delivered by Rev. J. L. Girardeau. The address was followed by the following 60n; Tooj soo, 1/50j 1,200 beautiful and soul-stirring ode, which was sung by the choir: fully sustains the reputation of anti-war times. His house lias been renovated and refitted, and. indeed,’ is now understood that such uniform action will be had, and that before the adjournment of Congress a ratification of the amendment will be iname.” We had nore than once heard a hint that n scheme, of the kind hero boldly avowed, was in contemplation and liad long been a matter of secret discussion in the councils of the Radicals. But we did not believe it. It seemed incredible. There was nothing in Governor Curtin's recent political course on which to ground a suspicion that he would h ud himself to such a shame less work, but. on the contrary, there were many things to justify an assured conviction that he would spurn any connection with it. But it seems that we were mistaken. We honored him overmuch. He has not merely given his assent to this base scheme for forestalling the judgment of the people upon a ques tion of vital Interest'-to them and to their posterity, but has taken the initiative in it, and appears before the public as its author. Let us consider what it is that he proposes to do. It will be remembered that the Legislature ot Penn sylvania, which he proposes to convene in special ses sion, was not chosen by th. people in anticipation that any such amendments to the Constitution as those which have recently passed Congress would be sub mitted to it. We venture to assert that not asfngle candidate for a seat in tiiat body dared to avow him self, pending the election, an advocate of negro suf frage. We know positively that every Republican who was chosen did his best to convince liis constituents, when he solicited their suffrages, that no such pur pose as that of enfranchising the blacks was in con templation by his party. There cannot be a doubt that had the people understood that this question was an immediate and practical one, that it would come up for settlement by their representatives before an other election, and thaf by choosing a Republican Legislature they Would give tlielr assent to the estab lishment of negro equality within their own borders and throughout the land, they would have cast such an overwhelming Democratic vote as would have left their opinions in no doubt. But they were deceived, and the parly which got control of the Legislature got it on false pretense. Their hypocracy was all along manifest to us, but we did not suspect them of a de sign so outrageous as that which Gov. Curtin’s circu lar foreshadows. It is now proposed to take away from the people the opportunity to say “yea” or “nay” to questions of nearer concern to their rights and interests than any that have ever been presented to them since the Con stitution was formed.

Sleep sweetly in your humble graves— Sleep, martyrs of a fallen cause, I hough yet no marble column craves The pilgrim here to pause. In seeds of laurels in the earth The blossom ol your fame is blown; And, somewhere, waiting for its birth! The shaft is in the stone ! Meanwhile, behalf the tardj* years Which keep in trust your storied tombs, Behold your sisters bring their tears, Aud these memorial blooms. Small tributes! but your shades will smile More proudly on those wreaths to-day, Than when some cannon-moulded pile Shall overlook this bay. Stoop, angels, hither from the skies! There is no holier sppt of ground Than where defeated valor lies - By mourning beauty crowned! Alter an appropriate address by Rev. W. Bowman, Rev. C. P. Gadsden offered up Uiu closing prayer, which was followed with the Benediction, by the Rev. E. T. Winkler, D. T). Hon. C. II. Simonton then announced the closiug of the exercises by the singing of the ast Ode by r the choir, during which the iadies of the Association would decorate the graves. The choir then suug the following : or>E —“TEARS AND FLOWERS”—COMPOSED BY REV. E. T. WINKLER, 1>. D. The sea-born City mourns, but none in shame, H* i heroes laid iu state beneath the dome Ol skies and solemn woods. She chants their fame Because they fought and fell for her, for heme, And liberty. Rest, rest, ye glorious braves! While we with tears and flowers bedeck your patriot We cannot live forgetting how yo died— The cheek of youth that wore its velvet bloom. The brow ot manhood in its strength and pride, ^ The hoary helm—devoted to the tomb! Ye warriors, free as were our winds aaid waves, \\ ith tears and flowers we deck }'Our uacriticial graves. Could ye a dearer gift than life bestow ? Sires, husbands, sons, who braved the battle shock, And gladly gave the crimson tide to flow, As Shepherds of the People, for your flock ! Ye louglit, ye died, that we might not be slaves, Alas, what slight return we scatter on. your graves ! }• rail emblems wreathe around your holy shrines: But love, for which ye bore the mortal stroke, Bids Nature plant her monumental pines, And rear her dark green mounds of Southern oak, And all her swelling tears and voices craves, Instead of griel-wet flowers, to 00118601*816 your graves. A happier age may bid the pile arise, W ith trophied symbol and with martial name. A juster world invest you with the prize Or palm and plaudit in the lists of fame; The care that guards your homes, the debt that saves Your living blood, we pledge, in fiowers, upon vour graves! The graves were all visited in turn, and beautiful wreaths, bouquets and evergreens placed upon them by the ladies. The scene was one of indescribable loveliness, and can never bo forgotten by those who witnessed it. Tears flowed freely, not only from the c}’es of fair daughters, but also from the eyes of many of the surviving companions of the heroic dead.— Urtder the guidance of the courteous keeper of Magnolia Cemetery, Mr. J. J. Stroub, the graves of those in other parts of the cemetery, also those In St. Laurence's Catholic Cemetery, were each separately visited by the ladies and decorated. all the houses have undergone a like operation. Sher man's locusts destroyed most of the furniture and bedding’of the hotels during liis devastating march through Georgia to your city. The old Ya *ner Hotel has been leased by I)r. Whitehead, well known to former visitors, and he keeps his establishment in apple-pie order. The. Doctor had charge of Floyd House hospital, in Macon, during the so-called rebel lion, and says he intends everything shall move us in a hospital—like clock work. The Doctor has rare con versational powers, and his guests will be entertained by him as they could be no where else. Mr Elder still conducts his house across the creek. His reputation as a landlord is established. He is said to make all feel as it they were at home, which is most comforting, especially to the feeble. His house is worthy of pat ronage, and will, as heretofore, receive a due propor tion. There is one feature here I cannot fail to recom mend—the electric baths—given at a bathing estab lishment near the Spring. For nervous disorders it is a certain cure, and also aids in the cure of most of the diseases enumerated above. For bracing up tho system and leaving an agreeable feeling, it is even beneficial to the well man. Warm baths in the min eral water are also given here. The establishment is kept by Mr. Allen, a gentleman and planter, from Southwest Georgia, who has moved his family t<* this point that they may enjoy health. The scenery here is beautiful, and this beauty is na ture’s own, for man has done but little to adorn the spot. It is a pitj* that capitalists do not take the mat ter in charge and improve the place as it should be- Were this spring in a Northern State, it would soon be surrounded by a thriving town, and be visited by many thousands annually. A New Yorker, at present stopping here, who has visited all the mineral springs of note in this country, says he has not found any to | equal this one for the real efficacy of tho water. A tornado visited this section on Monday, 4tli inst., | which unroofed and threw down many houses, caus ing the death of half a dozen whites and .several ! pated. A partisan Legislature is to be called together, in special session, to hurry through a work which dare not be trusted to their successors, who will be elected with ppen eyes and a lull knowledge on the part of their constituents! of the interests which will depend upon the choice they make. The Washington Chroni cle declared last winter that if the Republicans should go before the people of Pennsylvania upon the issue of negro suffrage they would be beaten hopelessly and everywhere. In this declaration lies the secret of Gov. Curtin’s haste. It is hoped by giving a speed}' ratifi cation to the amendments not only to assure their adoption, but to take the questions which they involve, and which the radicals dare not meet in the campaign, out of the arena of discussion. No grosser violation of the spirit of the Constitu tion than this was ever conceived, even by the party which have distinguished themselves by their con tempt for it. The provision which requires amend ments to be submitted to the Legislatures of the re spective {States is, of course, designed to secure an expression of the sense of the people of each State, speaking through their representatives. But here tho Legislature is summoned to Harrisburg to decide a question of vital importance upon which the people ot Pennsylvania have not passed, and have had no opportunity to pass judgment- This is a fraud— a gross and palpable fraud—one which must rouse the indignation of every honest breast. We hope that it will be exposed and denounced as it should be by the whole Conservative press of the Commonwealth. It is the latest and basest of those multiplied outrages upon law, justice and decency, by which the Republican party has hitherto managed to maintain its power. We protest against it, not merely because of its intrin sic wickedness, bnt because of the strife it promises to engender—the stormy future which it forbodes for this country. Because we would not see revolution, we protest with all the might that is in us against an outrage which it would almost seem is intended to provoke it. ST.

TINDER RESOLUTION OF THE Cl Y COUNCIL U of Savannah, and under direction of the Com- Tue Health of American Women.—The Cincin nati Times has recently compiled some curious sta tistics concerning the health of American women be tween twenty and forty years of age, A table is given, founded upon the returns of burials of males and fe males between these ages in forty-five cemeteries situated in Ohio, Illinois and Michigan, the places of burial having been selected with due regard to their representative character. The figures from this table are: Males, 80G; of females, 1,289—showing that, at least in the West, fifty per cent, more women than men die between the ages of twenty and forty. The limes makes still further deductions, as follows: “1. That in the oldest yards of the country, in which the first settlers buried their dead, the number of the sexes who died between twenty and forty years of age were the most nearly equal—in many cases the males outnumbering the females, while in tho new yards at the same places the females greatly outnumber the males. ’2. That in private or select yards, where the upper classes bury exclusively, the number of female dead during this period of lifo is very greatly in excess of the males. 3. That in yards where the foreigners chiefly bury their dead, the males usually exceed the females be tween those ages. ” an be Supplied 1? TEN DAYS.

De Tocqueviele’s clear conception of the natnre of our government and of its defects is nowhere more strikingly displayed, says tilt; Philadelphia Age, than in the following passage, which, in the light of present events, displays a sagacity and forethought, truly mar velous : If it be supposed that among tho States which ape united by the Federal tie, there are some which exclu sively enjoy the principal advantages of Union, or whose prosperity depends on tho duration of that Union, it is unquestionable that they will always bo ready to support the central government in enforcing the obedient* of others, lint the government would then*be exerting a force not derived from itself, but from a principle contrary to its nature. States form confederations in order to derive equal advantages from their Union; and, in the case just alluded to, the Federal government would derive its power from the unequal distribution of those benefits among the States. If one or more of tbe Confederate States have ac quired a preponderance sufficiently great to enable it to take exclusive possession *of the central authority it will consider the other States as subject provinces, and it will cause its own supremacy to be respected under the borrowed name of the sovereignty of the Union. Great things may then be done in the name of the Federal government, bnt m reality that go veru- metit will have ceased to exist. In both of these cases the power which acts in the name of the confederation becomes stronger the more it abandons the natural State and tlie acknowledged principles of confedera tion.

I take poison because I am tired of living. Tell the public it is not caused by ill- treatment, for you have always been very kind to me. I attempted the same thing several years before I was married, blit was discovered and saved, and L have always blamed them for not letting me die then. It is useless for Coroner Didaua to make any examination, for this will prove that I killed myself with my eyes open and in the full enjoyment of my senses, aud will also prove what I have always said that I am not afraid to die. I want yon to send my mother all my clothes; and remember, ’tis my dying request, that you shall always help her as long as you have anything left to divide. Give her what you would have given me had I lived. I should have done this long since, but for her—it has been my constant study for the past year.

She was a woman of ex cellent qualities, and during yesterday she was engaged in soliciting subscriptions to aid a poor woman in purchasing a sewing machine, and collected $6, which she handed to tlie w oman for whom it was intended. She washed and dressed herself with scrupulous care before taking the fatal potion, and from circumstance* must have -written the first part of the letter prior to taking the poison, as the two latter portions of the letter were written very poorly, allowing that Rhe was under the influence of the drug. Mrs. M. was a Spir itualist, and believed that she could be present with her husband in spirit as well as m body, and this may have been one of the inducements which led to the sad act. the ton up to Ml lime „*f said payment and receiving fee simple title.
