While going with his brother-in-law, Mr. Gil

ter, in a suffering condition, and as an act of
mercy, Mr. McCaig and Mr. Gilliland set
them across to Wilmington Island, where
they now are- They stated that they had
left Tybee in the morning and had swam La
zaretto creek. They also saw, but did not
remove, some twenty on Decent Island, a
part of Tybee, end about a dozen on the

cated with stated that two who had started
with them had been left on the marsh to die,
having been taken with cramps. Measures
will promptly be taken to prevent any who

The Chairman, Colonel John Rutherford,

composed of Colonels Ruthesford and Mar

Communication From Capt. B. 11. Hardee,
Agent ot the Steamer San Salvador.
To the Editors of the New’s and Herald :
I desire most emphatically to deny a state
ment iu Saturday’s Republican that the pas
sengers of the steamer Ban Salvador were on
9bort rations. I have received personally
irom several passengers and from Captain
Atkina official advices each day that all on
board were fully supplied with food, water
and every necessary and comfort. Any
reasonable articles of luxury requested by
any one on board have also been promptly
furnished. Tne bills of fare of the ship'for
three days are at my office, for the inspec
tion of any who desire.
B. H. Hardee, Agt.
gerioai Affair on Folly Island.
A number of reports were in circulation
yesterday of a mutiny among the colored
troops on Folly Island. Among other things
it was rumored that one or more of the white
officers had been either killed or seriously
wounded.
Resolved, That this.meeting, composed of
portions of the said committees, in the name
and behalf cl the people of Virginia, whose
feelings and opinions in this regard they feel
sure they truly represent, do declare that
they heartily sympathise with the law-abid
ing citizens of the Northern States in the
objects of the proposed convention, assuring
them of their anxious disposition to co-
operate with them in restoring real peace, in
.bringing back the government in practice to
its settled principles and usages under the
Constitution, and securing to all the
blessings of equal, free, republican govern-
jpent.
Resolved, That this Steeling, appreciating
the moral effect of popular appointments of
delegates to the proposed Convention, do re
commend that the people, in primary as
semblies, elect four delegates thereto for
the State at large, and not less than three for
each Congressional District; such elections
to take-placu by the 1st day-of Augu-t. Bet
if, from the shortness of the time or other
unforeseen contingencies, such elections shall
not have been made by that time, then, to
avoid the disappointment of a failure of repre
sentation in the Convention, this body will
on tiiat day proceed to oommate such dele
gates, and, to insure a better discharge of that
duty, now invokes a full attendance at that
rime of the members of the committees.
The utmost harmotiy and good feeling pre
vailed during the proceedings o! the body,
and we trust that the people throughout the
State .will at once follow the suggestions em
bodied in the above recited report. The
time is short and demands prompt action.
We arc glad to sec that it is decided that Vir
ginia is to be represented fit all events, but
delegates chosen directly by the people would tiua oftt,c mili,ia a,lil
be more in accordance with * merican usages.
receive with Incredulity the assurance mat U waa In
tended by those who secured its passage as the first 1
step toward preparation for another civil war- At- I
Though no debate was had upon' ft, members were I
urged tovotefor it by direot eonverutfoimkaupesle on 1
the floor on tkepnrt of the few who were- ‘ pnVy to Its !
introduction. Some were told that it was necessary to j
enable the Southern loyalists to protect themselves— I
others that it was simply a matter of .detail in :tbe :
War Department—others that tire anna must be taken -
out of tne bands of the President, and others that ii '
was proposed at the Instance of the Secretary of War. !
A u appeal was made by M r. Masson, of Iowa, to allow 1
debate upon it, as It seemed to be a matter of impor- , , 1
tance, imt this was refused. 1 Given to holders
Moat of the leading onn reflecting Radicals in Con- ;
greafe take this view ot the political future ; if the
fill elections result in the choice of Northern Demo
vrats euongli to cons.ituto, when added to the
members from the Southern States, a majority of the
HouBe, they assume that thU majority, thus con
stituted. will claim to be the Cougreaa, ■ and will act
according!>\ and that they will be recognized by the
President as the body to which he will send his
message, aud whose session., he will, if the nerassity
ahould arise, protect by military force. Xhey.assert,
on the other hand, that the Caiou members from the
loyal States— if they constitute a majority from those
Suites—will claim to be the only legal Congress, aud
will, if necessary, invoke an insurrection of the
people to maintain them in that posiriQU. They do
not in the least conceal their purpose, iu the event of
such a collision, to appeal to force, and to “drive the
rival Congress, with the President and his Cabinet
and supporters, into the Potomac," to use the
language of one of the able t and most sincere of their
number If you nil) recall the remarks of Mr. Bout-
-wall, of Massticlmsetis, in the last week’* first caucus,
you will see this movement dearly foreshadowed —
iudeed avowed. He declared Ills belief that an issue of
force was rapidly approaching, anil that we must be
prepared to meet it. H« uccb, and ail who co-operate
with him in tbetK' measures profess to act, under the
apprehaurTbh that the Pi evident intends* to resort to
force—that he means to disperse the present Con
gress on its re-assemokng iu December if it refuses to
admit the fckmtbern members; aud Sfri Farnsworth
ascribed to Mr. Seward the declaration, that this
-Congress should never re-assembie unless the South
ern members were admitted—m suppor of *hi« be
lief. I need scsrcely say iliat Mr. Seward never made
any remark of the kind, nor that the project ascribed
to the Prosidout is purely an invention, or at best the
onfiy dream of a political nightmare. But in either
case it serves the same purpose. It covers, and is
held to .justify, the determination to arouse the North, j
and prepare for a resort to force upon the assembling j

--party organization Viewed iu this light it ia appa
rent how hopeless will be the tack of reconstruction,
as well as the future peace and prosperity of the
Union, if these vital questions are to be absolutely
controlled by the passions, prejudices or designing
purposes of radical legislators.
The seceding States did net seek a separation be.
cause they were dissatisned with the Constitution of
the United States, nor did they make war on it. Aa
incontrovertsble evidence of this fact, the truth of
which impartial history will ever attest, the Provi
sional Cougresa of the Confederate States, as their
first official act, re-adopted the Federal Constitution,
in alt its parts and proportions, with such alterations
only a . were needful to embrace these new relations
as States, aud such amendments only—not only of the
Federal nr Republican system—as in their judgment
would make the Government under the Constitution
more harmonious and conservative in its administra
tion. They attempted eecession because they »in-
cerely believed—aud whether they were in error or
not it is ttfleie!! 1 now to cnqnire—that their right of
property in four millions ot slaves, estimated at three
thousand millions of dollars, were in imminent peril.
The institution of domestic slavery, in the mild and
-patriarchal form in which it existed among them they
regarded as a conservative element In Southern Civil
ization; while, with only exceptional instances, there
was an attachment between the masters and servants,
hallowed by tender recollections of past yee™. less in
sense in degree only than that which hhias the house
hold in its holiest affections. M**£ to rescue, pre-
aefte and perpetuate these that the Southeru people
to both. If It should make hostile nominations, or
adopt a hostile platform, no one could snpport both. !
But until something of that sort is actually done, it is i
not esgy to see why any man of anv party may not go !
into consultation with his fellow-citizens, from every ;
party and from every section, without forfeiting his I
party relation-). The idea that members of Congress I
have any right, in caucus or elsewhere, to issue de
crees ot expulsion or exclusion iu such a case is sim
ply absurd. ,
At the same time it is evident tiiat the Philadelphia
Convention Is regarded with great disfavor fcv all sec-;
tiong at the Union party.
These defaults of its own have glTeu the Phdmdel- !
phia Convention a degree of strength which it Is not i
wise for the leaders of the Union party to ignore or t
underrate By judicious counsels at the outset they,
might ham prevented it; at a later stage they might'
have controlled it; It is not yet too lata to save them- j
selves ft-om being ruined by it. But they will make a |
fatal mlatake if they content themselves with ignoring
