The officer who conduct ed the ceremonies reports that “the disagree able affair passed off without accident, with every effort on his part to humanitize thij b rn - *al mode of punishment; and that the execution was devoid of anything that could increase the torture of the victims, who protested to the «st to their innocence. Charleston Hews. * ... A.s-il tvj'. C J TO THE VOTERS OF CHATHAM . COUNTV. As our tames re apppeared .in the Savannah papers of yesterday, as candidates for the Con vention, a word of explanation is considered due to you. On the 19th inst., a number'of our citi zens who had heard that the Union Clnb was to make a nomination of unconditional Union can didates, desired to put before you men who would better represent the sentiments and feelings of our community, and they called an impromptu meeting, which was held that afternoon at J. M Guerard’s office. To show you that the act was not done secretly or in a corner, we give yon the names of nearly all the gentlemen who were in vited to be present. They are : F. Blair, B. L. Cole, W. H. Miller, C. Grant, T. M. Norwood, T. Holcombe, H. S. Bell, W, T. Thompson, W. Russell, J. M. Guerard, T. S. Wayne, E. E. Hertz, J. L. Villalonga, N. C. Mills, R. W. Adams, J. Carutbers, C. C. Casey, W. H. Boardly, M. S. Cohen, Hugh Monahan, J. Cooper, R. D. Guerard, W. W. Paine, W. D. Harden, A. Goebel, W. Swoll, D. A. O’Byrne. Of the Dumber invited, twenty were present at the meeting, to wit: Messrs. Blair, Cole, Miller, Grant, Norwood, Holcombe, Thompson, Russell, Wayne, J. M. Que- rard, Adams, Caruthers, Boardly, Cohen, R. D. Paine, Harden, Goebel, Swoll, Bell. Mr. T. Holcombe took the Chair, when Mr. T. S. VV ayn’e moved that any person present should propose any number of names, and that a ballot be bad, and the three having the highest number of rotes be declared the nominees. Mr. Waring. Russell moved as a substitute, that a committee should wait on Messrs. E. C. Anderson, Solomon Cohen and T. E. Lloyd, (whom.some anonymous person had sometime before proposed as candi dates,) and inquire whether they desired to run. This motion receded not over two votes, and was lost, on the ground that the meeting were no more bound to wait on those gentlemen than on any other three in the county. Mr. Russell, Mr. Swoll and Mr. Goebel, then asked leave to with draw from the meeting—to which no one raised any objection. Mr. Wayne’s motion was then carried, and the following named gentlemen were nominated for ballot, to wit: Richard D Arnold, T. Holcombe, R. Lachlison, G. S. Owens, T. E. Lloyd, E. C. Anderson, Solomon Cohen, John Screven, R. T; Gibson, and ourselves. Discussion then arose on the eligibility of certain nominees. The meeting were of the opinion that Messrs, Cohen and Lloyd, both be ing within the property exception in the Am nesty Proclamation, and Mr. Coben coming also within the first exception as a civil officer (Post Master,) under the Confederate Govern ment, were ineligible to the Convention. Mr. Anderson was, with the other gentlemen nam> ed, balloted for, and he and ourselves received the highest number of votes, and were then miiMiniiw Haflarfd the nomineess of the meeting. On the following day, another meeting was held at the office of Messrs. Hartridge & Chisholm, at wbieh Messrs. E. C. Anderson, Solomon Cohen and T. E. Lloyd were nomina ted. Thus the nominations stood and stand. The public seemed to deprecate the fact that more than three candidates (apart from the Uniop Club nomination,) should be run. We regret ted the fact beyond expression, and to remedy the evil, Mr. Norwood determined to get the five candidates together, and endeavor to ef fect a compromise, so that there might be peace and union and strength among the friends of both tickets. He accordingly invited the other four to a conference on yesterday’s when he proposed to take his name from the first ticket nominatted, if any one of the gentlemen on the second ticket would do likewise. That would leave three candidates. This proposi tion was declined by Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Cohen —Mr. Anderson being of both tickets was not expected to retire. Mr. Norwood asked if they had any proposition to make by which the disired union could be effected. They said they had none. Mr. Guerard then stated that he would accede to any arrangement which would be mutual and produce the desired re sult. None was proposed and the meeting adjourned. It is due to those gentlemen that we mention the fact, that they expressed the belief that the present d-fficulty, arising from two nominations,, might have Deen avoided if they had been invited to the first meeting. \ We have thus laid the explanation of our can didacy before you, that, yon may judge whether, under the circumstances, we were, or are now; bound to give way entirely to the candidates nominated at the second meeting. The gentle men who nominated ns, tell us we hare done all that could be done with due respect to them and ourselves, and that we must not witdraw oar names. We have stated from the first, and we now repeat the statement, that we did not, and do not dow desire to be candidates or delegates to the Convention. -We hope and desire that the people of the county will now meet and make a nomination of any three citizens they may choose. Aod we bold our positioug as candidates simply because we see no honorable way by which to re tire. We look with perfect indifference to the result, so tar as we are concerned. Defeat will be no cause for regret—success will be no joy. We wish it understood that while we will make any mutual concessions—we see no shadow of reason why we should surrender everything to the second nominees. 10 whatever manner you see fit to settle the question, we shall be perfectly content. T. M. Norwood, John M. Gbbrabd. How Crime is Punished in Boston. It will be remembered that- an outrage was committed in one ot the public streets of Boston, a few weeks ago, by three ruffians who decoyed a woman into & house. The men were caught, and the authrities determined to make aa example of them- The Judge of the Criminal Court, who was out of town, returned instsmly to call tbe Grand Jury together. The case was tried; the men were all convicted, and the sentence imposed upon them was imprisonment for life. The time occupied iu the arrest, trial, conviction and sen tence of tbs scamps was only fiye days! Such speedy justice frigntens tbe ruffians hereabouts, and gladdens tbe bearts ot the peaceable; which latter class appear to be thankful rather than otherwise for tbe oocnrrenoe of wbat will con tinue to be known os “the Court gtxeet out rage "—Ex- .

The steamship Moravian, from Liverpool on the 14th, via' Londonderry on the 15th inst., arrived this morning. Her dates are five days later than those already received. The steamship Louisiana, from New-York, arrived at Liverpool on tbe 14th inst. The steamship Persia, from New-York, ar rived at Queenstown on the 15th inst. The steamship Edinburgh, from New-York, arrived at Liverpool on the Jgth inst. The steamship Belgian, from Quebec, also arrived at Liverpool on the 12th inst. The steamship City of Baltimore, from New- York, arrived at Liverpool on the 13th inst. Greut Britain—The Pirate Shenandoah. The London Times has an editorial strongly denouncing the continued wanton and vindic tive depredations of the Shenandoah, and sharing in the indignation of America against her. ft s%s that Captain Waddell is acting on his own responsibility, and unless he can clearly show he had no knowledge of what was known to everybody else in the same latitude, be has no claim to mercy. The Times adds that EDglaDd has done all that inter-colonial law requires in the matter, but suggests that she might, under the circum stances, go further, and that British ships-of war should be instructed to treat the Shenan doah as any other pirate, and assist the United States in stopping her outrages. It trusts that instructions to this effect will be sent to the British Commander in the Pacific. Letter from ex*Secretary Benjamin, The Times publishes a letter from ex-Secre- tary Benjamin, denying that the rebel govern ment treated Federal prisoners with cruelty, and vindicating- Jefferson Davis from charges of inhumanity. Mr- Benjamin says that the chief causes of the suffering was the coarse of the Federal Government relative to the exchange of pris oners. The Times the following day published a letter from a Federal naval officer, denying Mr. Benjamin’s statement in toto. The Fenian Agitation, The Fenian movement continued to cause soin e apprehension. A meeting was to be held on the 10th inst., of the Magistrates of the County of Cork, con vened by Lord Ferntoy, to consider what steps were necessaiy to be taken jn view of the progress of the Fenian movement in that section. The Times says that in the absence of pre cise information concerning Fenianism. it is impossible to determine wbat significance is to be attributed to reported movements of mem bers of the order, bqt the amount of repres sion will be very slight, as the feeling of dis-. satisfaction is entirely confined to the lowest class of the Irish people. The London Daily News, in an editorial on the subject, says : Tbe Fenian movement is confined chiefly tola- borers, idlers and wanderers of low degree. The intelligence of tbe country, aDi above all the Catholic clergy, is on tbe side of order. It will soon appear whut the government means to do.— It is elear there is no time to bs lost. There will be no question on either si le of the Irish Channel of putting down this movement. As a work of mercy it mast be done. There must be prompt, careful and complete p avention and repression of the rebellion, whether weak or formidable. It would be a great mercy to Ireland if every Fe nian leader were at once put on trial.” Fleet on the Irish Coast, The ohannel fleet has left Portsmouth for tbe Irish Coast, bnt Fenianism bad nothing to do with its movement. No Reason for Calling Parliament Together. The London Globe says that there is not a sha dow of reason for calling Pailiament together be fore the usual time. The St. Leger Races. The St. Leger race was won by the French horse Gladiateur. Regalia was second, and Ar chimedes third. Fourteen horses ran. Gladia teur won by three lengths. After the race application was mode to tbe Stewards of the Jockey Club to have tbe winner examined as to his age. They refused, and the subject is finally disposed of. American Securities. Xattertfiwaite’s Circular of the evening of the 19tb, says; Five Twenties have been dull and heavy,-but without any noteworthy change in price. The chief feature has been a large demand for Eries at steadily advancing prices. American Telegraph Company, The stockholders of the American Tolograph Company have held a meeting and unanimonsly adopted the report of the D.rectors, that a new eontract be made for the building of another cablo to be laid next summer. Tbe question of raising additional capital was postponed for another meeting, which is to be held on the 12th of Octo ber. France. The Moniteur says that the great powers have removed all difficulties relating to the treaty for the navigation of the Danube. The treaty will be signed shortly. There was a great disturbance at the seance of the Davenport Brothers in Paris The brothsrs were loudly hissed. The polioe ole ired the room ■nd returned the entrance money, One of the spectators discovered tbelr secret, Gen. Lsmoriciere is dead. i The meeting between the Emperor Napoleon aod the Qaeen of Spain, at San Sebastian, wj* queen and King of Spain to the Emperor and Etnpre'l of the French at Blarritx, was equally as cardial, and the reception as enthusiastic as the interview at San Sebastian. Austria and Prussia. A ministerial journal of Berlin says that the payment of indemnity to Austria for the Duchy of Lauenburg will be made for the present from the King of Prussia’s privy purse, and that the occupation of Lauenburg will take place without delay. Tbe farther settlement of its position to ward the Prussian Crown is postponed. Berlin correspondence says that the Prussian stipulations of February remain in full loroe. On the one hand, the establishment of another government is no longer thought of. On the other tfhnd, Austria, in addition to the cession of Lauenburg, has yielded to the most material de mands made by Prussia. Tbe Gastien Convention, in maintaining the pteaent amicable relation between the two Pow ers, took an important step toward the fulfilment of the hopes and demands of Prussia. The murder of Ott by Count Ehrenburg was being investigated by a commission. It is again stated that France demauded satisfaction for the murder. Financial and Commercial. Liverpool Markets.

Religious Intelligence- most cwdUl, and tb« return tuR p*M Address of Bishop Atkinson to the Council of the Diocese of North Carolina—Reunion of the Church North and South. There is a question of the greatest interest and importance which this diocese, in common with its associates ia the late Confederate States, is compelled by recent political events to consider. The authority of the oivii government of the United States having been re-established, what is u* .-lotion to |he Church of the L r nited States? To me it is plain that thie is a critical moment in the history of the Church, both at the North and South—that on the decision it shall now reach, and the action it shall now pursue, it will depend very much whether in the future it shall sink to the level of a mere sect, or rather a bundle of hostile sects, or shall maintain its claim to be a pure and vigorous branch of the Church, Catholic, rising continually into wider usefulness and higher influence, until at length it shall be come the Church, not merely in the United States, bat of the American people The organization of a Church in the Confeder ate States distinct from that in the United States was, I conceive, justifiable, and indeed would have been, if events had occurred according to our expectation, indispensable, to enable ns to do our full duty to the people intrusted to our care. * * * There being many reasons for union, and the cause which produced oar separation having ceased, it would appear now that reunion is the wise and proper course. But it appears to tne to be even more- to be the course required of us by our principles as churchmen. Unity of gov ernment is one of the most essential parts of that unity of His Church which our Saviour stamped on it as one of its marks and ebaractera, but wnich men have so sigoally defaced. * * * fhe D' l ly of the Church to the Freadmcn. I tbiDk it right to add a few words on another topic connected with our political condition. It is on our duty to the colored population lately liberated by the action of tbe goverument of-the United States. * * * We must con tinue oqr care for them, we ought even to in crease it. We have surely been in some degree delinquent in the past; let us resolve in God’s strength Dot to be so for tbe future. We shall have less of natural afiectiou to animate us ; let us try to have more ot Christian principle. That which becomes us towards all meD, especial ly becomes us towards tbein —first to be just, next to be kind. Let us remember, then, that by our existing political system, in which we have acquiesced, they have a right to wages for their labor. Let us pay them, then, not grudgingly or of necessity, but as an honest debt. The amount must of coarse depend on the value of their la bor, the number of their families, whom we have to support, and partly too, on the resources of a much impoverished people ; but as Christians we must see .to it, that we give them “that which is equal, knowing that we also have a master in heaven.” * * * Let us make them feel wbat is, 1 believe, most true, that their best friends are among ourselves, and that to ua they mqst look for counsel, ant] an], and protection. But above all, let qg remember that part ot our duty, in which, I fear, we have been most defi cient, providing for them sound religious instruc tion. They are in great danger ot falling into the hands of mischievous, and sometimes, no doubt, malevolent fanatics, which would be a great calamity to them and also to us. Let us endeavor to avert it by doing what is at any rate our duty—by giving them the true doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ in lieu of the vain jang- lings of false teapkeps. Let »s raise up colored Congregations in our towns, and let all our clergy leel that au important part of their charge is to teach and to befriend the colored people, and es pecially to train, so tar as they are permitted to do so,ube children of that rac6. New and Important Religious Movements.—Am erica. A movement for extended Christian work lias just been inaugurated in this and other cipies. ;it will find, a general expression ! at Cleveland on the 27th instant. The following circular is signed by a large number of promi nent clergymen and laymen;^ A convention of Evangelical Christians will be held in the city qf Cleveland, at ten o'clock, on Wednesday, September 27, 1865, to organ* ize a national society for evangelisation—a Christian commission for the masses—to car ry the religion of Jeans, in all its saving ef ficacy, especially in the great cities, and in The South, to those not reached by effective Chris tian influences. Extensive correspondence and consultation have led to the assurance that the necessity of greater activity in the direction in dicated is painfully felt. Yfo have fallen away from the simplicity and entire consecration of fhe early Christians. At first every disciple was a missiqnaay, and every church a msasjon-r ary society. It is simply proposed that earnest Christians, who hearts horn with love, and seal, join bands to do and promote this com prehensive work of direct evangelization, for which the primitive Christians lived, suffered and died. Tbe plan proposed is simple, and it is practicable. Churches, city missionary and tract locietje*, Young Men’s Christian associa tions, and kindred organizations are required to appoint delegates to meet in convention above designated. Where organizations that will appoint delegates do not exist, pastors and brethern, few or many, are requested to meet and name some two or more of their number as delegates. And all interested are invited to attend and take part in the convention, wheth er appointed as delegates or not. It is sugges ted that delegates come prepared to report the names of such as will heartily co-operate. England. A singular religious movement was begun in England a few weeks ago. It is proposed to unite the members of the English, Roman Catholic and Greek churches in friendly com munion, and public journals report that three hundred churches in England have assented to the measure. From a statement made by Rev. F. G. Hall, formerly of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, we gather the following indica tions of the character and purpose of this movement: “An institution has been formed under the title of “The Association for the Promotion of the Unity of Christendom,” to unite in a bond of intercessory prayer members both of the clergy and laity of the Roman Catholic, Greek and Anglican communions. ‘To ail,’ it is said, ‘who, while they lament the divisions among Christians, look forward for their heal ing mainly to a corporate reunion of those three great bodies which claim for themselves the inheritance of the priesthood aod the name of Catholic, an appeal is made. They are not asked to compromise anyprinciples which they rightly or wrongly, hold dear; they are simply asked to uuite for the promotion of a high and holy end.” The names of members are to obe kept strictly private, and the only objection imposed upon those who join the association is the daily use of a short form of prayer, to which is add ed, in case of priests, the offering, at least once in three months, of the Holy Sacrifice. South Carolina Convention. September 25.—The Convention assem bled at ten o’clock, tbe President took the Chair, and the deliberations were opened with prayer. Mr. Thomas Thomson introduced the follow ing resolution; which was agreed to: Resolved, That a commission, consisting of two persons, be appointed by his Excellency, the Provisional Governor, to prepare and re port to the next Legislature what laws will be necessary and proper in consequence of the al teration made in the fundamental law, and es pecially to prepare and submit a code for the regulation of labor and the protection and gov ernment of the colored population of the State, and that the Legislature fix the compensation of said Commissioners. A resolution trom the Committee on Amend ments to the Constitution was amended so as to read as follows: “Hereafter, there shall be a capitation tax laid by the General Assembly, which, npon each poll, shall never b@ less than one-fourth of the.tax laid on one hundred dollar’s worth of land, it being left lo tbe General Assembly to determine what inhabitants of .the State shall oe excepted rrom tne operation ottne taw, was then agreed to, and was referred to the Revisory Committee. Messrs. Simonton, Frierson and Dudley pre sented reports from committees. Mr. F. W. Piemens introduced the following elapse for the Constitution, which was referred to the Committee on Amendments to the Con- stitutiion: “For debts hereafter contracted no real es tate shall be subject to levy or execution; hut this shall not be construed *o to prevent any legal process against the rents and profits of the same.” Mr. Inglis, from the Committee on the Leg islative Department, made a report on the ar ticles ) rescribing the qualification of voters; which was agreed to, and referred to the Re visory Commjttep. The Convention resolved itself into a Com mittee of the Whole, Mr. Sullivan in tbe Chair, to consider the report of the Committee on Amendments to the Constitution, and after a free discussion of the subject, the president re sumed the Cfiajr. Sretember 26, 1865.—The Convention as sembled at 10 o’clock, the President took the Chair, and the deliberations were opened with prayer. Mr. Robertson introduced the following re solutions, which were agreed to : Resolved, That the Clerk of this Convention be charged with the supervision of the printing of the journal, reports, resolutions and ordi nances adopted by this Convention, in perma nent form; that be prepare and hare printed with the same a complete inde^, and that he be also charged with the destribntion of the same, under the direction of the President; that he also shall prepare, and have substan tially bound, a correct manuscript copy of tbe journal, to be deposited in the Secretary of State’s office. Resolved, That the Clerk he paid for said services, and for services as Clerk of the Con vention, the same salary as was paid the Clerk of the House of Representatives in 1860. Mr. Inglis, from the Revisory Committee, made a report on matters, submitting a draft of the Constitution, whioh was amended. Tbe report was then agreed to, and the'Constitu tion committed to the Engrossing Committee, and 500 copies ordered to be printed.- Tbe President laid before the Convention the following communication : Crsbibr Valley. N. C.) September 11, 1865. j To the President of the Convention (F South Carolina : S;r :—I have heard, though not officially, that I have been elected a member of the Convention from Richland District, and I write to say that I shall do myself the honor to take my seat as soon as I can reach Columbia.

I have the honor to he, very respectfully, yours, Wade Hampton.] ' The report of the Committee on the Judiciary, on a resolution as to oolored persona testifying in certain cases, was referred to the Engrossing Committee. Mr. Conner offered a resolution, which was unanimously agreed to, that Messrs. D. L. Ward- law, Alfred Huger and T. N Dawkins he a eoa- mittee to present to President Johnson the me* morial of this Convention in behalf of Hon Jeffer son Davis, A. H. Stephens, A. G. Magrath andG. A. Trenholm; and that the expenses be defrayed out of funds raised under Ordinances of the Con vention. Messrs. Macbeth, Lesesne and others presented sundry reports. The Ordinance dividing the State into fbB* Congressional Districts, instead of six as hereto fore, was Daseecf. ffir. Simonton introduced a resolution, whioh was agreed to, endorsing the Administration of President Johnson, and approving the mode of pacification proposed by him in the wise measure he has adapted for securing peace and prosperity to the whole Union.—Columbia Phoenix, Septem ber 27.
