JOHNSTONE, Editor and Publisher Mercantile Index. Savannah, Aug. 23, 1866. THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT. It is gratifying to notice Hat some of the '•mall, but influential ctos of SfJnthern jour nals that opposed so streMbosly the Phi! a- delphia Convention, are now accepting the position presented by Qjf v address and reso lutions, asjthe best possible thing tbe South can do ini existing citrnmsuncca. . White objecting, as we do, to some of tbe princi ples and abstract assertions which appear in the platform, they nevertheless declare their appreciation of the patriotic purposes of the as tbe only efficient ■■deans of restoring the Union. ’ - • - The Atlanta New Bra, haying dmcovered tEp •folly of a third pajty in the South—which would strengthen the Radicals and endanger the defeat of the President’s policy of restoration, has determined to fore go for the present its objections to the Phila delphia platform, and in a spirit of frank manliness snxtaai the only movement that can save the South from the most imminent peril. Already the criticisms which have ap peared in Southern papers on the doings of tho Convention lave been nfajini|e<T |/.]tadical journals and oratofs lata a disapproval of the whole plan and purpose of the Conservative parly, and heralded as the views of a united South. To refute this mischievous misrep resentation, we sincerely hope the remaining Sou them papers who have co-operated with tbe Era will follow its patriotic example- 9>4 t|hiire is u0 mid - dlc ground between the Unionists and the Radicals which a Southern man can occupy, the Era declares its future policy as follows : ^ theMPEHL the slightest degree modifying or changing our previously expressed opinions. We am as far from “cordially endorsing” the policy of Test Oath representation now as heretofore. We give adhesion to the measure without Ihaoklng anytRfly pfr “suppressing the re hellion,” and only as a matter of expediency, we had almost said necessity. It is the heat that can t>e done communication upon the sulijcct of san itary reform in this city is unavoidably post poned until to morrow. SHIPMENT OP COTTON. That our readers may be fully advised of the requirements of the late law of Congress imposing a tax on cotton, we surrender a large portion of our space to-day to the pub lication of tbe regulations made thereunder, by the Treasury Department, concerning the weighing of cotton, the assessment and col lection of the lax, and the removal of the sta ple under bond.' The information thus pre sented,is of the highest importance to all in terested in the production and sale of cotton; and we would call special attention to the fact, that it will be unlawful from and after the first day of September, 1866, for any agent of transportation to receive for ship ment, any cotton unaccompanied by a per mit from the Collector or Assessor of the dis trict from which it is shipped; and such cer tificate must be furnished to the Collector of the district to which the cotton is transported, and his permit obtained before the delivery of the cotton. Any person vio lating this provision will be liable to a penal ty of one hundred dollars for each bale so shipped, or to imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. And all' vehicles likewise employed in such conveyance, will be liable to seizure and forfeiture by proceed ings in any Court of the United States. It will be seen that the law is very stringent, and to avoid incurring its penalties, the public should be well acquainted with its provisions. GENERALS LEE AND JOHNSTON. The Richmond Dispatch, commenting upon the opposition of Southern men to the Pliila. delphia Convention platform, says that it meets tbe approval and will receive the cor dial support of Generals Robert E- Lee and Joseph E. Johnston, together with many other men who bravely defended their coun- try, and proved their faith by periling their lives in a hundred battles. But, then, says tbe same paper, these are very unimportant persons, very “small potatoes,’’compared with the high mettled editors, whose indig nant virtues prompt to the duty of repudia tion of the platform. Tm Wokkingmen’s Convention.—In the Workingmen’s Convention, now iu session in Baltimore, a resolution was offered constitu ting the delegation from tbe District of Co lumbia a committee to wait on the President of the United States and request him to re commend in his annual message to Congress the adoption of the eight hour system iu all the employment of labor by the United States. A resolution was also adopted requesting the Congress to use its influence with the Legislatures ot tbe several States to pass a law to prohibit the owners of pro|>erty from charging a greater rent than fifteen per cent, on the capital invested for property. ■ The Fall Elections.—The first of tin fall elections will come off ic Vermont on the first Tuesday in September, aud iu Cali ioraia on the first Thursday,.and in Maine on enormous, tbe second Thursday Of the same month. Then follows Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iu diana on the second Tuesday in October. Massachusetts, ’Michigan, New Y or k, New Jersey and Illinois vote on the first Tuesday in November; Maryland on the first Wedues day; Wisconsin on the first Thursday, aud Delaware, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas on the second Tuesday of the same month. PsffifaNT to Gen. R. E. Lee.—A 8| •addle was recently forwarded from Nhw- Orleans to Gen. R. E. Lee, as a present from the Hon. Mr. Connelly, M. P., who was a frequent visitor of the General’s dnring the wnr. The saddle is of the English Horse Guard pattern, with holsters, valise, pockets for writing materials, and a splendid shabrack «f astracau wool, bound with red cloth. Tbe bridle and breast strap are specimens of ad mirable workmanship, the whole forming a useful nnd worthy present. i • f rf— General Howard's Successor as Chief or th* Freedmen's Bureau.—A dispatch, snys n Washington telegram, was to-day sent to General Tillaoo, Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau for tbe State of Georgia, now temporarily sojourning at Saco, Maine, instructing him not to return South, aaJiia services would soon be required to re lieve General Howard as Chief Of the Bureau. It is presumed that tbs change will be made danng the present month. Vrmians or the Move.—A Northern dis patch aeys ■ ‘‘Specials received here from Lonitvllle and Nashville announce that sev eral thousand armed Fenians, from points farther South, were passing through those cities, m route for Chicago. Their precise object in coming hither is not an* nounced.but it is Understood thatthey intend making this their general headquarters for the Northwest, fa which to prepare for the fall campaign.” T*e Convention Annoass.—The papers state positively that Mr. Raymond was not the author of the address published by the National Convention. under the circumstances. THE CHOLERA—EXAGGERATED RU MORS. A gentleman wbo has just returned from a jauut through tbe Southern counties of this State and a portion of Florida,' in forms us that he was frequently overtaken, and sometimes shocked by the most exagge rated rumors as to the prevalence of cholera in this city, aud, of cotiise, they had the ef fect to create an amount of apprelieusiou iu the minds of the people to cut off almost entirely the usual business intercourse wilb the city. Our columns and those of our cotem poraries have contained accurate aud per fectly candid representations on the subject of cholera. There has been and will be no unworthy attempt to conceal or dis guise the truth. The cuminal atteppt to do so would be as sternly ' reprobated here as by the country people them selves. Thus far there is not the slight est foundation the exaggerated rumors ot which we have been advised, aud no suf ficient reason why our country friends should shun this city. There have been a few cases of cholera iu our midst, but it has not pre vailed as an epidemic, and we nrc now more assured than ever that it will not. Every means of precaution and prevention has been adopted, and with the most gratifying suc cess. The disease reached its climax of nineteen cases during the week ending the 22d iustant,'which was no doubt owing to the effect of the damp and hot weather which then prevailed, for as soon as a change ap peared, and comparatively cool, bright sunny days returned to us, the number of cholera cases at once decreased, and it has since been confined almost exclusively; and in a modified form, to certain localities beyond the corporate limits of the city inhabited by negioes. We repent Unit mere 19 no present or prospective danger of its becoming an epi - demic, nor does it any longer .excite appre hension on tbe part of even the most timid. The New Orleans Riot.—The official cor respondcnce. it is stated, in regard to the late riot at New- Orlefna Will be ready for the press in a few days. Among other important papers the collection of this correspondence has brought to light a dispatch from Gen eral Baiid addressed to the Secretory ol War, dated- two xl|ys anterior;|o;l*t’jontbre.‘ik, In which" he-advises ttfe Secretrfry <: inflammable state of the public niiml New Orleans, tfia dangers attendin^thb assembling of tbe convention, and,Ah necessity of the interference of the United States forces in order to prevent a distuSij ance, nnd asking injlrtieiiankiii the matter. There is no record of any reply having been sent to the dispatch, nor was it ever laid l>e- fore the President until since the disturbance. The whole correspondence will be given to the public very soon. grain Crops xr the WksT.—From various quarters we receive promising reports ol the grain crop, which it was feared would bo ruined by the recent fall of rain in qlf parts of the States. In Iowa the crops Rave not been seriously afladtdU. liftrtnri ‘Michigan comes a similar announcement. In Wiscon sin two-thirds of the crop is promised, aud in Minnesota the yield of wheat is said to be Other cereals in that JStote ore favorably reported.

Mr. iliiichtifie, the spokesman of tbe Convention, disclaimed connection with any parly in a political sense, or tbat the movement wss for pn_ litical power. Ho urged that eight hours per day labor should be legalized, tbat public lauds should be dis tributed so as to be reached by laborers instead of capitalists, and tbat working men be protected against convict labor. He asked tbe President's assistance to aceomplish these measures for tbe workiBg men. Iu reply, the President said he was opposed to tbe present system of convict labor, on account of its un just discriminations and degrading influences. He desired to see labor elevated, and snrh always bad been i«s position. His whole history showed be w against a monopoly of tbe public lands. He wss for shortening the hours of labor to the least number con sistent with tbe interests of ail the laboring men, and they could rely upon his influence when it could be given in their behalf.

The Colored RapitlstConvention—A White Minister Introduces Unlit I es and is Hr- bulled - Replies to the Speech.- ’ Up to Wednesday hist the proceedings of the Colored Baptist Convention were uuin terrupled by tbe introduction of anything of a sectional, secular or political nature. Nor would it then have occurred, we believe, bad it not been for tbe appearauce npou tbe stage ot oue Reverend Florence McCarthy, a while man, who took occasion to throw a political bombshell in Ebeui-zer Church, which, how ever, failed signally in its iutended effect. It has been a custom in the Convention to invite while vioitoro to opcult, nnd on Wed nesday Mr. McCarthy was introduced by the {Secretary as “Ihe only loyal minister south ol the Potomac,” which, we understand, is the sigualure he has been in the habit of using in his slanderous letters to the Northern press, lie al ouce arose, anti commenced speech iu lavor ot the equality of the uegro with the white man. The fact, he said, that tTnian was "black should make no" 'difference ju bis social standing; be could denounce a mau for wickedness, but not on account ot his color; be comtidered the negro liis social aud political equal; tbat he should lie al lowed to vote, and that when this was brought about he Intended to become a flbndiilale for ~ 1 ...

Ills sentiments WerelMf^knowa; and be asked no favors of the white people among whom he lived- After McCarthy had linished his tirade, the Agfolcf ic'bf the Convention (domed struck into ubiiidment. Many of tnew appeared pleased, but there was no demonstration of applanse, and in fact no one seemed disposed to bock him up in his sentiments. The Rev. Dr. Jeter of this city, being in attendance, made a brief reply. He said jBittt he considered himself as good a friend to the colored race as the gentleman who had just taken his seat; that in the course of his ministrations he had baptised one thousand colored persons, aud one of the leading purposes of his life had been to at tend to their religious training. He regret ted Unit any political subject had been intro duced here, for its effect could not be other wise than pernicious, and he trusted that no member of the Convention would be led away by remarks such , 8 they had just heard. Considerable applause followed Dr. Jeter’s little speech, and 1 the President remarked tbat ntf member of the Convention had yet brought forward a political sentiment; that it was then done by awhito man, who was the first to break the rule laid down by the Conven tion at the outset. The Rev. A. E. Dickinson, of Richmond, then arose and exproatmtiins hearty approval of (he remarks of Dr. Jetter. He had recent ly visited six Baptist associations, and he l. C.) Courier has a letter^ .^u wgy tii(( U(Mt of", the principal subjects . exflfasMs tho opinion which engaged the attention of these bodies was the proper religious education of the colored race, Mr. Dickinson^gave some soffnd practical advice to ’the ''Convention, which was well received. AfhlAlhf adjphltofitent, several colored per sons "came up and’ offered their hearty con gratulations . to Dr. Jeter, aud told him he had spoken nothing but the truth. Thu Rev. Florence McCarthy was a chap lain in the Confederate anny, aud up to the time of tlfa evacuation of Richmond W(4, a secessionist in seittiuicnt. Soon » afterwards he commenced toadying to the i 5 fjjfortto.'tfafagb ;bq -afafa#; $J*Dlieiy here that his object was to “make something out of th* Yankees.” He was rewarded by an appointment, from the Home Mission Society of New Yojk, at fifty dollars per month, as pastor of a church ua Oregon Hill, which he ® bolds. He baa ao^ for some lime past i held !o much regard by tbe Baptists of Virginia; aud at tbe meeting of the Baptist General Association fa June fast he was ex cluded from membership in tbeir Boards; and if tbe foregoing speech had been made prior to that meeting, would doubtless have been denied membership in tbat body. His recent writings and speeches show tbat he has cast bis lot among the agitators, where for tbe present we will leave him. Secret art Stanton’s Retirement.— There is no doulit bnt Hut Secretary Stanton is about to retire front tbe Cabinet. The public have been ‘so often him baa become so strong, however, and ,tbo political course of the Administration so well defined, As to preclude any possibility of bis retention.

The electric commaak&tion was not interrupted, and the accident was soon rem edied by a diver. Washington, August Si, 1866. The last ten days have l>een full of import ant events; the Philadelphia Convention, IhaJjfpfiidaatfa spaesh, Ihn ptfiti'B prorlMHn . ccr make a fierce struggle against the Radicals. The great effort will be to carry Pennsylva nia and New York. There are indications tbat the money kings are waking up to the importance of peace, aud no stone v(iH be left unturned to get them to stir them(elves. Seward’s and Weed’s influence in New York has hitherto been very great, and much is counted oo-ffom that source now. Of tbe four great papers in New York, the Herald, the Times, the World and the Tribune, all but the last support tbe Convention and tbe President’s policy. This is certainly an im portant fact. • The President’s speech, in which he throws out the idea that the Congress is not a legiti mate body, gives great offence to the Radi cals, and it is thought to intimate that the President w-ill. refuse to consent to im peachment from it. It" impeachment should take place, aud the President refuse to ac knowledge its validity, the situation will be come dangerously complicated. Unfortu nately, there is no arbiter to determine tbe question. ,' j: , The President's peace proclamation, ex tending the benefit of "the past proclamation to Texas, is completing, as far as be can, the restoralian of all the Stales to the Union. Tbe Radicals prelend to believe tbat Texas is in a worse condition than any other State. This assumption is founded principally on timstatements of Governor Hamilton and .other sympathizers wkh the Radicals from that Stale. The President’s proclamation disallow ing” the paper blockade of Matamoras, is universally responded to. Tbe people like lwlil measures, aud Maximilian's comedy of “ the Empire’’ is not pleasing to the people. Many of the President’s Iriends have been anxious for him to take a bolder course to wards Mexico, and there is no doubt but what Ibis would have been dime, except for tbe embarrassmsuts of Mr. Seward in bis past diplomacy, while the civil war in the United States was raging. It is thought the assu rances he was then compelled to give Louis Napoleon has compelled a more temperate coarse towards Maximilian than would have l>een pursued- The President’s reply to the New Hamp shire delegation, that office-holders under the Administration would be required to support tbe policy laid down by the Philadelphia Convention, is thought lo mean business. The President’s friends—many of them, al least—regsrd thi9 as tbe most interesting in- cideut of the last ten days. They consider it a great outrage that the President’s ene mies should grow, fat on ltia patronage. They are very sharp set for a cleaning out of their opponents and putting good Jbbuson men in their places. We have every reason to believe that this policy will be now entered upon and steadily pursued. There is evi dently a good lime coming for the supporters of “ uay policy.’’ Reformed Republicans will get the preference through policy. The Radical papers publish, with immense gusto, every indication of disapproval at the South of the action of the Philadelphia Con vention. Their cue is to make out that the Southern delegates were Jjtpociitco, niulilint the Southern peojile reputnKe the action of their delegates. Southern papers should be careful to give as iitlle capital as possible to tbe Radicals. It was gratifying lo see tlie kind feeling of the Northern delegates to the Philadelphia Convention to the S'nit Item delegates. Ol all men at the South, Mr- A. II. Stephens seems to be tbe most popular. I beard an enthusiastic delegate from the north west say, “our people worship Mr. Stephens.’’ Mr. Stepbeus was certainly born under a lucky star. eunkkal invitation.
