The President sets out on his North-Wes tern tour to lay the corner stone of the Doug las monument at Chicago, in a few days. 1 It is intended to give the trip a political torn, by the President's making brief speeches at prominent points along the route. Some of the President’s friends say he ought never to ipeak a word without consultation with some one or two confidential friends. Tkf Wallace,' lately >1 Vowed to Feavft the port of New York, charged With tire purpose of violating the neutrality Taws, in the present civil w aria Mexico, was not, cleared fintil ‘satisfactory evidence was given of the law fulness of her intended voyage. While the Administration desire the liberal party lo succeed in Mexico, they will not wink at vi olations of our own laws. The feeling against Secretary Stanton’s continuance'in the War Department is very strong among the Northern supporters of the President. Mr. Seward; however, 1 does not wish to part from Mr. Stanton. It is ru rnored that Mr. Stanton will he eased off with4ka Spanish mission, and the*most probable person for his successor is Sen. Blair; of Missouri. One thing is Undeniable, the War Department is not administered in (be spirit of the President’s policy, it still bearing a ragged countenance to the South 1 and everythinpigoatlprn. Removals from^ollae are beginning to be quite brisk. The policy is determined on and is being carried- out, to dismiss all radicals from office. The President dobs not, however, move as rapidly in the matter a? many of his friends desire. They say if it as $ good work, it ought to be at GU$0 and by tlie'Wlibftsale. - It is a splendid *im4 -fer Conservatives who have come over from the Republicans. They can get the best that is going. The National Labor Convention, in session at Baltimore, has not thrown any new light on the great question involved in such a movement The great point they make is the eight hour rule. No one to work more than eight hours a day. But if one only works eight hours, one only gets eight hours’ pay. It is easy to prevent people from work ing more than eight hours; but to pay them for the time they don’t work, there is the trouble. Behind these specific questions are others of more importance. The laborer must set out withjjfdnstry, economy, and good manners And medals. Then if taxes are light, and trade is free, with a specie currency, there is nothing to prevent him frotn doing well, if he does justice to himself. The Soldiers’ National Union Convention at Cleveland w-ill be a great success, it is said. Many .who feel a sail for a public office will, doubtless, embrace the opportunity of airing their patriotism. The ideas thrown out by the Secretary of the Treasury in his recent letter seem to attract much attention. He says that “the present prosperity is rather apparent than real. Before the country becomes again really prosperous, the specie standard must be restored. ’’ The Secretary’s policy was to gradually reduce the amount of paper circu lation, bring the Government securities, sell ing under par, up to par, restore specie pay ments, and convert the public debt into a five per cent. geJd-paying interest. This was the plan of a man who comprehended his busi ness; but the ill-will of Congress to the Secre tary personally,and the influence of the money speculators, whose gain is in a fluctuating currency, prevented the Secretary accomplish ing what he desired Gold is now being shipped from England to New York, and it is estimated the profit will be tw o per cent. This shows at least a temporary turn in the gold tide. The Kadicals are going to give all the im portance possible to the Loyal Southern Con vention to meet in Philadelphia. This is a great farce, but it will undertake to represent the Union feeling South. The Radicals will have Northern delegations to he present and rock the cradle of thin puny political child from the South. " 'Tfi-feovernor Hamilton and Mr. Botts will be the leaders of the occasion. Both these gentlemen seem to be very miich aggrieved at the South getting off as lightly as they do. M*. Botts denies the validity of all pardons, and I *'¥>!>?*• ?^ iltoa denies their policy.

The papers are discussing the subject of “ a cholera mist ”—a blue vapor ,oo the hills —concerning which 1 a 1 correspondent of the .New York times writes as follows; “The announcement of the coincidence of cholera with the. occurrence of ‘blue mist,’ can hardly fail to have excited a profound sensation in tbe scientific, world.' Every care ful observer, of nature, particularly landscape painters, must be familiar with the fre quently grayish blue haze which produces such a charming! atmospheric effect in the scenery of this country; but it can hardly be imagined that philosophers like Ulaisher and Lowe can hove mistaken this effect for the phenomenon which they have recorded. It will naturally be conjeqtured that there may he a necessary wlatinn between'the blue 3 atter forming the mist and the well-known ne stage oi cholera. Medical practitioners, who are for the most part feebly imbued with the spirit of true philosophy, will be disposed to ridicule this notion from a feeling of morti fication that it should have escaped the atten tion of their own profession. In like man ner, Mr. E. J. Lowe's ingenious hypothesis ‘that the ‘blqe mist' may be caused by the tail of a comet will probably be received with incredulity, if not with derision, by asffortn-i men and chemists. Btrt truth when first discovered has generally Mar scoffed afchy ignoiaoi, uaw»r6l»y' , aM tenuous assistants. An investigation concerning tbe nature of the tail of a comet will certainly lead to en tirely novel and important remits, and may furnish a due to the interpretation of cosmi cal phenomena which. have hitherto proved impenetrable to the human understanding. The opportunity for such an investigation is singularly appropriate at the present time, as a paper oh the subject might he pnpwrM lor- the forthcoming meeting ot the British Asso ciation at Nottingham. It would be exceed-, ingly interesting to ascertain why the ‘blue mist' seen at Greenwich should have remain ed stationary, with the wind blowing at a velocity sufficient to produce a pressure of nine pounds per square foot.” Another writer says that a similar mist was observed at Varna at the time of the Crimean war, and in the West Indies before the out break of the cholera in 1854, as Appears from the following remarkable,panqjraai), extract ed from a paper Upon Astatic cholera by Dr Cooper, principal medical officer to the Great Western Railway Company. Dr. Cooper remarks: , “The existence of this atmospheric miasma has more than once been observed. A thin bluish haze was seen to bang over Varna at the time of the Crimean war, by persons on board our man-of-war lying at that place, just before the out-break of the Asiatic cholera there. The same thing—I satified myself upon the independent testimony of persons at three different spots in St. Chris topher—was seen just prior to tbe outbreak of the disease in that island in November, 1864, and this fact was fully set forth by me in my report to the government upon tbe outbreak of ttiVcholera in that place. It was described by all as ‘a thin transparent bluish haze hanging over the'spot, and not affected by the wind.’ All the evidence agreed precisely in every particular as to the appearance, time, Ac., although my in- tormanls had bad no communication one with another upon the subject. The-first ease of cholera occurred five days subse quent to this appearance.” Another gentleman, writing from Notting ham says: “The same bloe mist or veil noticed by Mr. Glaisber was most conspicuous here on Thursday last at six P. M., and has contin ued ever since, hilt fainter on Sunday, Mon day and yesterday, though {Strong as ever this morning. I do not believe It could have escaped my notice, and therefore feel sure ii was not here as early as Thursday morning The appaarance is very similar lo the faint bloom which is seen on the surface of re cently varnished paintings.’’ Speck of War In Ml*al«»»ppi«-T’l>c Town of Greensboro Attarkeil by a AIo| of One Hnndred Men. was reduced to 8 per cent., as wc are in formed by the cable- The; rate of 10 per cent., which was continued so long a time, were not permitted by the citizens to On Thursday evening last information was received at this place from several reliable sources that preparations had been made in the surronnding country to make an attack on the town, aud that an armed force would certainly appear for that purpose within the next twelve hours. Measures were imme diately taken to offer a firm and determined resistance. All the double-barreled shot guns, pistols, Ac., that could be found were collected, and many of the citizens, the aged and ihe young, obeying the impulse of duty, armed themselves for the impending conflict, Having organized themselves iptp a body, they took possession of the Court house, and under protections of its walls resolved to defend themselves, their families and their prop erty to the last extremity. Pickets wjfre posted at convenient distances ou several roads leading into town, with instructions to give tbe alarm at tbe least sign of tbe ene my. About daylight one of the pickets saw and fired at a squad of armed men. No damage was done. He then went into town, aud soon after a group of citizens were fired on near the square. It was now broad day, and the enemy, supposed to be about one hundred strong^ was descried in one of the hollows west of want our rights,” replied one of their nom her. “What rights?” said the citizen “We want to regulate this town, and well do it or burn out the d—d hole.” They were told that they would be resisted to the last. One of tbe mob then proposed a conference. The consultation lasted, we suppose, about two hows. Many proposals were made and many were rejected. The mob required the citizens to enter into a written obligation. This was refused. They desired permission to burn several business house* in town. This was also refused.

This sufficiently explaius the course of the bank during the late financial troubles, and places the excessive avarice of its managers in strong contrast to the liberal policy of.the Secretary ot the Treasury of tbe United States, whose timely relief, at, the height o! the panic, saved important interests, and it the same time avoided the waves of commer cial disaster before they could reach our shores.

The following are 'the proceedings of the meeting held at Columbus, on the !Sd to 1 ratify the action of the Philadelphia Conven- 1 tiou: Columbus, August 25, 1866. At alarge meetiog of the people of Mus cogee county—embracing the leading men of all former political organizatiotia—bald w</ Temperance Hall this evening, on motion, of Major Wiley Williams, Hon. A. H. Chappell was called to tbe chair, and J. H. Martin, appointed Secretary. «. . i;... .. Tbe Chairman, in opening and explaining the objects of the meeting, reviewed, the pq-, liticnl events since the ffioae of the ftar, showing, that President Johnson, following in tbe footsteps and adopting, the policy of his predecessor in the Executive chair, bad taken tbe ground that the States were inde structible, and secession or ...disunion impos sible ; while, the radical party, controlling Congress in both branches, held that there hud been a de facto disunion, that the se ceding States had been subjugated, and must be held aod governed as conquered prosnnpes. This was the broad issue presented to’the country, and recognized by tbe late Phila delphia Cqnveution, which had adopted tlni, policy’of the President, add t)ad eneeled 4* union of the conservative men of all pirts of the country with a .view to ihe securing of its triumph. “ 1 On motion of Maj. Williams, the chair was requested to appoint a committee .of seven to present some form of action for tlie meeting. The- folio wing gentlemen were selected, to compose that committee: Maj. Wiloy. Wil liams, Ex-Prov. Gov. Johnson, Hon. M. J. Crawford, John Peabody, R L. Mott, R. B. Murdoch and A. R Lamar, Esq. .The committee, after retiring for a few minutes, reported tbe following preamble and resolution: The people of Georgia and of the other Southern States having participated, by their delegates, in the National Union Convention, recently held at Philadelphia, and being deeply interested in the influence and results of ilk tabors upon tbe public opiDion of tbe whole country and; through public opinion, on the policy and action of the Government of tlie United States; and it being therefore highly suitable and proper that the proceed ings ot that Convontion should be the sub ject o£ review and the consideration by us as a portion of the Southern people: Be it therefore resolved by the citizens oi lluscogee county, in mass meeting assem bled, That we lalify tbe action of said Con vention and hereby endorse tbe declaration of principles put forth by it, cherishing the hope and confidence that their practical rec ognition by the people aud the Government of the United States is ail that is wanted to heal the wounds of our country and make it whole again, and to ensure the permanent harmony, integrity and well-being of oor great Federal Republic. Prov. Gov- Johnson, in response to a call from the meeting, ateongly urged tbe adop tion of tbe preamble ana resolution reported. He tr ade several cogent points in support of the policy of the President and the Declara tion of Principles adopted by the Convention: 1st, that the constitutional amendment pro posed by Congress was adopted by that body in violation of that provision which gives each State in the Union a right to be represented when amendments of the Con stitution are proposed; 2d, the majority of Congress, in requiring the Southern States, as a condition precedent to representation, to allow negro suffrage, trampled upon that clause ot tbe Federal Constitution which leaves each State free to determine for itself the qualifications of its voters; 3, that the Soutn had in good faith accepted tbe condi lions of restoration imposed by the Presi dem—including tbe abolition of slavery, and the extention of equal rights of persou and properly to freedmen—and the great ques tion now was whether the States should be admitted to representation and equal rights without further condition, or under the new conditions imposed by Congress. He paid a just tribute to the President for bis magna nimity, justice and firmness; said that tbe ac tion of the Convention was already pourinir oil on the troubled waters, and that he an ticipated tbe happiest results from its meet ing and deliberations. He believed that the struggle would end in the complete restora tion of the South to their former rights— that such a consummation was norj only a discharge the duties of their office. Theyi were assured that this was false and had ncx foundation in fact. They-said that it had been reported that a certain class in the country were prohibited frop entering the town. This was also" false. Then they ac knowledged that they had l^een laboring un de» acwtobg imprklUttttHtd rdeofeMilthat! they were satisfied. Thus ended this foolish and nonsensical undertaking against the town of Greensboro. It is to be hoped that there will not be a recurrence of snoh disgraceful scenes. If the people would restore pence and harmony, they most desist from the pwr- nicious practice of undertaking to redress their own wrongs, and appeal to the strong arm of the law.

Col. M. J. Crawford was then loudly called for, and engaged tbe attention of tbe meeting in an eloquent and patriotic speech. He re garded tbe action of tbe Convention as the first ray of light from the North that we had lied for six years; regarded It as in awaken ing on the part of that section to tbe necessity of preserving what was left of the Constitu tion He believed that it was tbe intention of the Radical party, should they succeed in their designs, to ,undo the work of restora tion partially effected by the President, and, under the constitutional amendment which they have proposed, to govern the Southern Pfffiep,ps pfoviocss—to »pt Mid* tiiq Sfofo governments, establish territorial goverU- menls, fix- the basis of representation, and hold ua under oppressive aud arbitrary rule. He, too, extolled the patriotism aud ttflM-c- tion of President Johnson, and said that bis arm was tbe only shield interposed between the people of the South and those who still treated them as aliens and enemies. Colonel Crawford closed by moving the adoption of the preamble and resolution re ported. The question being pat by the Chair, the report of the committee was unanimously adopted. And on motion tbe meeting adjourned. A. H. Cuaffkll, Chairman. J. H. Martin, Secretary. Paaicla Richmond. The telegraph mentioned the fact, of a 'frighfol panic at Richmond on the occa sion of the laying of the corner-stone of an African church. The scene is thus described by a Richmond paper : The ceremonies commenced shortly before 5 o’clock, having been opened with prayer "by the pastor of the church, Rev. John H. 'Ginns, which was followed by singing by the choir. At this juncture, the Society by whom the presentation was to be made, en 1,,-red the building and took seats which had been reserved for them. Following them came others who filled the aisles and every vacant place for sitting or standing. Order had scarcely ensued wheh a voice was heard to exclaim-“The gallery is givtog away!" It sounded clear and distinct, and immediately everything was in the utmost confusion, and everybody m tho utmost alarm. Fire thrown amidst dry stubble could not have spread mors rapidly -ban did the awful fear and dead crash that seemed to Mi* hundreds ab<>7 e * a i£f .cuo A^ueath.

Down from the windows jumped men and women, and crowding in close Col umn upon one another, they emerged from the front door, breaking down the fencebe- fore them in their efforts to get away from the threatened calamity. But fortunately all got out and few were m- jnted, considering the number in the build ing, and the intensity of the paniv.

Prisoner Lee then arranged tbe programme for the capture of the bank and slaughter of the garrison, as follows : Prisouer was to invite Messrs. Eidridge, Benson and such other officers of the bank as might be in, to a social convivial gather ing at his house the next evening (Friday), at which time witness was to enter the bank, aud in case the key of the sate should tail to be in tbe lock, was to shoot Mr. Thompson through the bead, and then rob the bank. After which be was to escape through a hack door into a back street, and thence to pris oner’s room. - This nice little plan was laid for Friday Bight, bat witaess failed to come np to time, and in consequence- the undertaking wti postponed until Monday night.. In tbe in terim, prisoner and witness bad oue or two consultations, which, upon tbe suggestion of witness, led to the alteration of tbescbednle, so far as to substitute a cudgel for tbe pistol as tbe weapon to be used iu silencing Mr. Thompson. Lee assured witness that, in case of his capture, means would be found to get him oat. Prisoner also said that as sooo.aa wit ness had made au entry into the bank he would be joined by another party, who would assist him in carrying out his designs. Bat Witness was nnaDle to discern the namei of this co-operating parly. When Saturday night came, however, wit ness felt conscientious scruples about com mitting this murder, and being in consider able disquiet of mind, resolved to unburden himself to Mr. jBrown, a fellow-employee in the saloon. Mr. Brown didn’t say mnch on tbe subject, and witness concluded to ask Pat Kelly for advice. Mr. Kelly thought witness had better tell Mr. McNamara all abont it, and got him to go to the bank and reveal the circumstances. This was done immediately, and it being considered that, from the pub licity -which the matter had gained, the con spirators should be secured at once. A war rant was made out, aud Messrs. Lee and White arrested. Some witnesses were examined to prove the good character of the accused, when, alter argument by council, they were re manded for trial before the Superior Court. The bail of Lee was fixed at $1,000, and of White at $250. In default both parties were committed to jail.

A high wind—one that shrilly whistles around the corners when the earth is lettered with front and snow—travels at the rate of thirty-five miles per hour; and the burricape, before whose might and fury stately forests bow, has a velocity of eighty miles an hoar. General Joseph R. Davis, nephew of Jeff., is on his way to Fortress Monroe, on a visit lo his uncle. ill: / trjaaiuioif hi, <iitiiii.‘< -Jill ol n: .a n Join leu- Insurance. rtuqqa SOUTHERIL MARCH OFFICE l;!
