We bad an interview last evening with Mr. Arthur McCaig, who yesterday morning, While going with his brother-in-law, Mr. Gil liland, to the latter's place, on Little Tybee, with a boat, was hailed by six United States soldiers, in the marsh between SofitUChaonel and Tybee. They were out of food and wa 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 mud fiat. Some of the soldiers communi 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 have left the island from coming to town. IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION FROM A PASSENGER.

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 Insurance.

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.
