COUNTY MEETING.
At a meeting of the citizens ot Chatham
I county, held at the Exchange Long. Room,
j on Thursday eveniug, on motion of Hon.
I Solomon Cohen, Hon. E. C. Anderson was
I called to the Chair ami George L. Cope ap-
| pointed Secretary.
j After the organization of the meeting, lion,
j Solomon Cohen, member of Congress elect
from this District, rose and said that from
J the position he occupied towards this Con-
j grcssional District, and having but, recently
; returned from the North, he fell it his duty
to say a few words in reference to the pro
g posed Convention in Philadelphia. It was an
— ! unquestioned truth, that without contact
T5 and association there could he no
15s uuity of action among men. A fearful
j.. war has desolated our land, the cherished
hopes of our people had been crushed, the
225 stern arbitrament of war had settled
275 | questions aud principles to which our lives
325! had been devoted. Now is it the part of
37 _ wisdom to make misfortune darker and more
i terrible by idle regrets, or by manly zeal to
’*■" | avail ourselves of the condition in which we
465 j are placed,and of the circumstauces by which
510 1 we ate surrounded- The South were now
6 _ 0 i neither in nor out of the Union. The fear-
| ful fanaticism of the present ruling majority
gave us the burthens of the Union, but none
of its privileges.
Mr. Cohen continued . “ Shall this state of
things remain ? And can it ever be altered
if the South folds its arms anil lies down
in unworthy inaction—Mr. Chairman, I
hope not. The conservative men of the
North extend to us the right hand of
fellowship—shall we spurn their oilers, or
shall we unite with them in eveiy effort to
restore the South to her rightful position in
the councils of the country? We can do
nothing by inaction—but we may benefit our
country by becoming energy. Does any man
want the present condition of affairs to con
tinue? Does he desire the present prostra
tion of the country?—I am sure not. Let us
then unite in this Convention, aud even if no
good shall result, we will at least have the
happy consciousness lo know that the fault
was notours.’’
On motion, the following committee was
appointed by the Chair—Hon. Solomon
»5'; 1,1401 Cohen, Coi. John Screven, Col. W. R.
Symons and Dr. L. C. Knorr—to retire and
nominate, for the approval of the meeting,
four delegates to the District Convention to
be held at Blaokshear, on Frida}', the '.’7th
of July.
After a brief absence the committee made
the following report, which was unanimously
adopted :
“The Committee appointed to name dele
gates to represent tills county in the Black-
shear Convention, recommend the following
gentlemen : Hon. R. D. Arnold,
William DuncaD,
W. T. Thompson,
Wm. R. Symons.
“And the Committee further recommend
that if any of the delegates should be una
ble to attend, that the others have the power
to till all vacancies-''
A resolution was offered by Dr. Arnold,
requesting the Chairman to ask the Presi
dent of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad to
give a free pass to the delegates to Black-
shear
The resolution being adopted, Col. Scriven
stated to the meeting that free passes to and
from the Convention would lie granted to all
delegates ot the District.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

THE SICK ON THE SAN SALVADOR
ALL RECOVERING.
NO DANGER TO BE APPREHENDED.
i The member of the News and Herald
staff deputed to visit the quarantine ground,
where the San Salvador is embargoed, did
not reach here sufficiently early on Wednes
day evening to admit of the publication of
his extended report that morning, although
we gat e publicity to all the facts relating to
the extent which came to onr knowledge.
The San Salvador arrived off’ Tybee be
tween eleven and twelve o’clock on Wednes
day, and reported immediately at quarantine.
The news of the sickness on board her
reached here about three o’clock, by Captain
Ferguson, sailing master of the Abbie B,
quarantine schooner, who, by extraordinary
onergy, came up here in a row-boat in two
and a half hours.
Capt. Benj. H. Hardee, agent of the line,
at once chartered the tug-boat O. M. Petit,
Capt. James King, for a trip down, and was
accompanied by Major R. E. Crofton, Com
mandant of the Post; Dr. H*S. Schell, Sur
geon of the Post; a representative of the
News and Herald; Mr. Withington, ol the
Advertiser, and others.
The sail down the riVer was very fine,
with tide in onr favor, aud a breeze which
cooled the brow, but scarcely disturbed the
water.
The Petit first reported to the Surgeou in
command of the U. S. quarantine schooner
Abbie B., and in the meantime the San Sal
vador steamed np above us, to change her
anchorage.
The Petit was peainitted to approach
near enough to the infected steamer to allow
Captain Hardee to converse with Captain
Atkina, and permit some conversation with
the passengers on the San Salvador.
The San Salvador left New York ou Y Satur
day afternoon, with sixty cabin passengers,
four hundred and seventy-three recruits for
the 7th Infantry (regulars!, now in Florida,
and four officers. The troops wore under
command of Brevet Captain Ellsworth, ot the
11th Infantry, with three subordinate offi
cers.
Obtaining the accurate facts, stripped of
all exaggeration, we give tlieni as follows ;
The San Salvador’s trip was very pleasant
until sometime on Sunday, when severe sick
ness broke out among the troops on the
second deck. The attacks were very sud
den, and Parser C. C. Cambridge and a con
tract Surgeon who was on board, found the
symptoms to be of the complete Asiatic type.
Off Port Royal it was decided to put in'at
Hilton Head, one of the fewregular military
'posts on the coast, and land the troops, io
from Mexico.

cases of cholera on shore among the soldiers, j
but no more deaths. There are now in ell; Favorable Exports of (hr. Condition of.sir £: m .

all well, and in good spirits.
Oar Washington Correspondence.
| From our Regular Correspondent. ]
Washington, July 16th, 1866.
The public mind has been greatly occupied
with the troubles in the Cabinet for the last
few days. All kinds of rumors were afloat.
It was constantly stated that all the Cabinet
would Tesign except Seward, McCulloch and
Welis. So far ouly Speed and Dennison
have actually withdrawn. Harlan will cer
tainly 6 o soon, and Stanton will be relieved.
The call for the Convention in Philadelphia
has brought about this crisis. It did not
permit the differences of opinion between
the President and certain of his Cabinet to
be kept longer in abeyance. The close union
personally between Stanton and Seward de
fers Stanton's resignation. Mr. Seward wants
Stanton gently dealt with. He may be eased
out of his position by a foreign mission.
The President’s friends are very much
gratified at these Cabinet disturbances. They
think that it has been a misfortune for the
President to have kept his opponents so long
around him. The desire is strong for
Harlan and Stanton to resign too. It is
thought things will go on a great deal better
when the President’s counsellors have the
same political ideas he has.
A good deal of speculation exists as to
who will fill the vacant places, but nothing
positive is ascertained beyond the appoint
ment cf Randall as Postmaster-General.
The position of Mr. Seward is a good deal
discussed. Some think that he is shaky.
Those who take this view attach a good deal
of significance to the tergiversation of Ray
mond. Raymond was for the President’s
policy, including the call of the Convention,
and Raymond is the mouth-piece of Seward;
aud at the late Republican caucus Raymond
backed out from all his conservatism and
went back into the parly again. It is ar
gued this shows what Seward is meditating.
Seward’s letter to Senator Doolittle, just pub
lished,gives some ground to question the sta
bility of Mr. Seward’s position, for he advo
cates the call for the Philadelphia Conven
tion as a general convention of all parties to
urge Congress to admit the Southern mem
bers, and does not put it on the true ground,
that it is an effort to organize a new political
party- One so eminently careful of bis po
sition is not apt to have thus fallen accident
ally on to the ground he took. The proba
bility is he intends thus to keep the question
opeD for himself until after the meeting of
the Philadelphia Convention. If the Con
vention makes a new parly, (and that is the
order to give them benefit of pure air. But j only thing it is called for, j Mr. Seward, if he
they were stopped at quarantine, and on the j does not like the way the wind blows then,
condition of health aboard being reported, may withdraw, on the ground that the Con-

! Rights bill annulled any conflicting provi
sion of the Slate Constitution. The Virginia
Enterprise says:
A very animated discussion ensued be
tween counsel, both exhibiting considerable
warmth in their arguments, and the point
was finally submitted to the honorable judge
for decision. Judge Burbank said he should
in this matter endeavor to do justice to all
parties concerned. He was liable to be in
error in his opinions- He had been before,
and he might be on this occasion. He ably
reviewed the points at, issue, as presented by
counsel on both sides. He would give no
arbitrary decision in the matter of the Civil
Rights bill, but did not consider that it an
nulled the provisions of the Constitution of
the State of Nevada. He was ot the opinion
that, as far as the qualifications of jurymen
were concerned, the people of the State of
Nevaua could only be governed by the Con
stitution of the State, which clearly declared
colored men disqualified lrom serving on a
jury. He therefore discharged Mr. Brown,
who at once took his leave. ""The court room
was crow led with interested aud attentive
spectators, this being looked upon as a test
case, and the concluding remarks of his
Honor were once or twice considerably ap
plauded by the spectators present.
Wholesale Starvation of Infants in Law
rence—Coroner’s Inquest*
Coroner Dr. W. D. Lamb held an inquest
yesterday afternoon over the body of an in
fant of four months, named Charles Healing,
whose parents are in Lowell, which devel
oped horrors enough to make one shudder.
It appeared that one Mrs. Rogers, who is lo
cated in a small building bn the alley be-
iween Jackson and Newbury, Essex and
Common streets, has been in the habit of re
ceiving youug children, from the age of one
month to one year, to board.
Some ot the mothers were married and
some not married. She had had as many as
nine at one time, and a day or two since had
six. The one upon whom the inquest was
held died on Saturday evening, and on Mon
day morning a neighbor looked in aud ILund
the body of the child looking quite black,
covered with maggots, and its eyes not
closed. The woman, who was far from
civil, said she was going out to make ar-

—The Committee
C ifetem
were ordered to anchor off Braddock’s Point.
The water there being too low, Capt. Atkins,
an experienced, judicious ocean commander,
decided to proceed immediately to the Sa
vannah quarantine ground, at Tybee Road,
and accordingly steamed up there, where he
was hailed by the officer of the quarantine
schooner, Abbie B., and came to anchor.
Up to this time twenty-eight cases of
cholera had occurred on board, all among the
the troops, with three deaths, and after com
ing to anchor another enlisted man died.
The troops were immediately removed on
shore, those who were well to the seaward
point of Tybee Island, and the sick ones far
ther up the beach towards Fort Pulaski. The
dead were taken ashore and bailed.
Capt Atkins bad the ship thoroughiy.fumi.
gated, as a matter of piecaution. At our
visit alluded to we had a long conversation
with Capt. Atkins, Purser Cambridge and
several of the passengers, who expressed
themselves thoioughly satisfied that there
was no danger to any one on board. The
ship was evidently well supplied with stores,
and Capt. Hardee has since sent down every
thing needful in the way of ship stores,
medicines aud comforts.
While the Or M. Petit was laying near the
San Salvador, those on board coaid distinctly
see a funeral on shore—four men carrying a
deceased comrade in an army blanket to bia
rude place of burial, a hole scooped in the
sand near the beach, Where he was hurriedly
consigned, without prayer or ceremony, re •
viving the recollections of the war, when
burials were incidents, and slaughter was a
profession.
The troops at the Point were at last ac
counts enjoying themselves mnch, with good
rations, fine bathing, and sports of all kinds.
There is no danger of any spread of the dis
ease, even among those who have been most
exposed, and those who tear that Savannah
may be infected exhibit only childish fears,
which are not participated in by even the
raw recruits from New York.
We cannot bestow too much praise on
Captain Atkins, Parser Cambridge, Captain
Ben. H. Hardee, the agent of the line, Ma
jor Crofton, Post Commandant, Post Surgeon
Schell, Dr.] McFarland, Municipal Health
Officer, the surgeon in charge of the quaran
tine boat, whose name we have unfortu
nately mislaid, and all who have been en
gaged in the suppression of the epidemic.
We are indebted to Capt. James King, of
the O. M. Petit, for favors.

sition: if he goes back to the Radicals he has
□othing to expect; if he goes into the new
party to be formed at Philadelphia, can he
hope tor much when the Democratic element
must be vastly in the ascendency. Mr. Se

tion of waiting and watching.
The Senatorial caucus have determined not
to take up the bill limiting the tenure of
office, which was gotten up to restrict the
President's power of removal.
A prominent Genera! of the United States
army, a man of considerable intelligence, baa
just returned troin the Northwest. He says
that the people there are indifferent to the
proposed amendment of the Constitution, but
that they think something should be done
before the question of reconstruction is dis
posed of; that, in his opinion, what would
satisfy the people there, and carry every
thing before it, would be to leave suffrage to
the action of each State, provided there was
no discrimination on account of color. He
says that property tests and intelligence tests
could be applied, by which very few negroes
would vote, aud the totally ignorant white
people would likewise be excluded.
Tburlow Weed says that he is authorized
to say that General Grant will not be a can
didate for the Presidency next time under
any circumstances, and that be is opposed to
any amendments to the Constitution until
the Southern representatives are present to
assist in their preparation. This is very good
for Grant, as the Radicals have been flatter
ing him extensively. Grant is as strong at
the North as Lee is at the Sontb. Grant has
constantly, since the end of the war, favored
the kind treatment of the South. His politi
cal ideas are entirely conservative.
A correspondent of the New York World,
writes a long letter from the City of Mexico,
under date of June 30th, from which we
make the following extracts: .
ACTUAL CONDITION OF THE EMPIRE.
If one were to judge by the accounts_pub
fished in the United States newspapers, jrtbe
empire would seem to be on its last legs
but happening to be on the spot, I can as
sure you that Maximilian was never in a
firmer aud more assured possessiou at Mex
ico than at the present time. It Is really
amusing lo read the accounts of battles and
sieges, which the ready pens of correspon
dents, under Juarist inspiration, paint: to the
gaze ot the American people. Excepting
the Hermosillo massacre, where harmless,
unprotected citizens—men, women and chil
dren—were slaughtered in cold hood in the
temporary absence of the Imperial fi>rces,thc
“Liberals ’ have not gained a single victory,
or eveu got the best in aDy important skir
mish. The rumors of the capture of a large
train, near Monterey, a few days ago, and
subsequently of Matamoras, may be true. It
is not unlikely. Most of the European
troops were being wi'.hdrawu from that
sickly region, and the Liberals will not be
permitted to long enjoy their advantage.
But with these exceptions it is not too much
to assert that the Liberals have been beaten
at every point. It fact, it is a regular scam
per among them whenever the French or
Austrians make their appearance. The Eu
ropeans always have orders to charge if the
disparity of numbers is not more than ten
to one; and a Mexican was never known to
face cold steel, bayonets being their extreme
abhorrence even when pitted against each
other.
THE IMPERIAL DRAFT FOR FIFTY THOUSAND MEN.
The determination of the Emperor to
maintain himself after the departure of the
French, with every means iu his power, is
fully illustrated by tire decree ordering a
military dratt. At first it will be carried into
effect only in the three cities of Mexico,
Puebla aud Qneretero, which will furnish,
combined, 2,000 men for immediate pur
poses. These cities will then be exempted
from the general conscription throughout the
empire which will be made somewhere about
the month of November. The present one
takes place iu Jul}'. 1 am not informed as
to the number lo be raised by the general
draft, but, as the war footing of the army of
Mexico is to be a little under 50,000 men, the
draft will probably call for about that amount.
In a former letter 1 gave the proposed divi
sion of this army among cavalry, infantry
and artillery.
ORGANIZATION OF THE NATIONAL ARMY.
The army will be organized and modeled
after the French rule. It ought to make an
efficient force. It wifi be well uniformed and
fed, and the object will be to inspire the dif
ferent corps with that soldierly ambition
wbicb has hitherto been sadly wanting among
the Mexicans. The dratt will call for men
of the finest physical condition, who wifi do
credit to the service. Hitherto a Mexican
army has been composed of an indiscriminate
mixture of size and color, many of tbe com
panies exhibiting every imaginable hue, from
jet black to cream color, while anything like
drill and discipline was unknown. The pre
sent army will be under European officers
principally. The pay of these is already.
stipulated, a General receiving about $7,000
in gold. This military organization is a twin
movement with the new revenue regulation,
by which a sum sufficient lor ail the purposes
of the government will he raised by a uni
form system of taxation.
13,SIGNIFICANCE OF SANTA ANNA’S MOVEMENT.
The Santa Anna phase in the Mexican
question excites some interest here, but
neither his friends or his enemies attach any
importance to his sojourn in the United
States. Y'ou may be certain that the ex-Die-
tator has no association whatever with the
empire. Iu 1962, Marshal Bazine permitted
him to land in Mexico, out of pity for a
harmless old man. who professed himself de
sirous of returning to die in his native land *
but as soon ns he reached Cordova, he com
menced his old game of pronunciamentos and
gritos, and it was found necessary to send the
old fellow away, as he would not promise
any better behavior. He afterwards wrote
an absurd letter from Havana, exousing his
bad faith, and urging that he did not know
what he was doing at the time ; but only ex
cited the ridicule of his enemies and the dis
gust of his friends. Whatever may be the
fate of Mexico, your readers need not in
clude Santa Anna in the programme as an
element of the .slightest importance. Ife has
no party and few friends in Mexico, where
his selfishness and perfidy are remembered
as something monstrous even in this land of
excesses.
PROBABLE MOVEMENTS CF THE FRENCH TROOFg.
Until the army Is organized, the French
troops will not be removed; and as tbe dratt
and subsequent drilling wilt occupy some
months, your readers may calculate upon the
withdrawal of Napoleon’s army about a year
from the coming fall. They may, however,
be well assufed that Napoleon will not
abandon Maximilian, and that be never in
tended to be understood as meaning to do so
when he publicly announced his policy of
withdrawal last winter. Tbe French soldiers
will not quit Mexico until the empire is
placed ou a basis of security and self-sup
port.
Nor can this be construed into any con
tinuance of a foreign military establishment
over Mexico. Maximilian, as well as ail
other rulers in this turbulent, volcanic coun
try, must have power to preserve order and
maintain his government from the attacks of
tbe disorderly element here, alwas ready to
overthrow where weakness invites, and to
foment revolutions for the sake of the spoils
wbi 'l. political commotions usually throw to
tbe surface.

Degrading Superstition in Sweden.—A
a late execution in Sweden a vast crowd as
sembied, some of whom endeavored to be
come possessed of some drops of the blood
or the victim, thinking they would so obtain
a specific against epilepsy, cramp, and other
diseases. It was even observed that a family
in the higher ranks of society, in a large
town, had gone from some distance to the
place of execution for the express purpose of
obtaining this talisman, which they were
most eager to procure aa a remedy for one of
their children who had been grievously
afflicted. Immediately after the execution
the crowd pressed around the scaffold, aud
the military guard had great difficulty in
keeping them off; but no sooner had the
troops and the police been .wi
men and women rushed
the ground with their hi

the hope that they might

Slang.—The Times justly condemns the
practice of using slang terms, and thinks that
no respectable person should “sling the
paste-boards” when he piaye at cards, or oatt
for a “torch” when he vomd smoke, or
“sling a quill” when he writes. But it has
no word of censure for the newspaper slang
of the day, of which its own columns have
recently famished such specimens as the fol
lowing, referring tP the Fenian ihd, and
printed in the largest display type: “Precipi
tous Skedaddle” “The Ancient Henry to be
Compensated and no TurpcntinoJWarmed, ?
or, referring to the war in Germany, such a
phrase as this: “Austria backs Down.”
These are rather worse than the slang about
“the devouring element and other “repor-
erisms’ for which the Times snarply criti
cised another morning journal on Sunday. —

HThe Restored Martial Law in Florida.
Tne following extract of a letter from an in
telligent and reliable gentleman of Pensacola
to a- citizen of this city, show's that the res
toration of military rule in Florida is no idle
tale, and that its severity is equal to that of
last year. The letter is dated Pensacola,
July 5th:
‘Martial law has been proclaimed in this
and adjoining county, as well as several
others in the State. And by way of showing
us that onr masters meant something by the
proclamation, a company of artillery .was
sent to Milton, during the sitting of the Cir-
lit Court two weeks, for the purpose of
ipelliug the Grajid Jury to find a bill of
tment against parties who killed a
;ee in a bawdy-lionse fight. The Jury
j prudent men, the bill was found.
Union man in this county was threat
ened with a suit for taking some machinery
during the war. General Seymour at once
notified the proposed plaintiff’ that it would
hardly consist with his personal comfort and
safety tb institute tbe proceedings; and
Judge Bash was notified that his cognizance
of the case might be attended with disagraeea-
ble consequences.
“Does not this smack of Constantinople
and. St Pertersburg ? Such proceedings
would make life in tbis country intolerable
bat for tbe hope ot better days in which we
mast indulge, however, almost in. spite of
reason.
“I can see nothing in the prospect before
ns but occasion for despondency. And yet
days —
“Yb» too will pass away, ” which the sages
gave the Saltan to inscribe on bia signet to
reboke him in prosperity and support himt
in adversity.’’—Columbus Sun.
