THE GEORGIA WEEKLY TET. (.GRAPH.
orjia olwill]) u clcjrapjf.
The South nnil the Philadelphia Conven
tion-Sensible mid Patriotic views.
At tlio meeting in Savannah on Thursday,
to appoint delegates to a District Convention,
Hon Solomon Cohen, member elect to Con
gress from tbo 1st District, mnelo some re
marks that are so pertinent on l forcible that
every Southerner would do well to read and
digest them. We copy from the Herald of
that city:
“After the organisation of tho meeting,
Hon. Solomon Cohen, member of Congress
elect trora this District, rose and said that
from the position he occupied towards this
Congressional District, and having but re
cently returned from tho North, he felt it his
duty to say a few words in reference to the
proposed Convention in Philadelphia. It
was an unquestioned truth, that without con
tact and association there could he no unity
of action among men. A fearful war has des
olated our land, tho cherished licpes o£ our
people had been crushed, the stern arbitra
ment of war had settled questions and prin
ciples to which our lives halt been devoted.
Now, is it the part of wisdom to make mis
fortune darker and more terrible by idle re
grets, or by mnnly zeal to avail ourselves of
the condition in which we are placed, and of
the circumstances by which we are surround
ed. The South were now neither in nor out
of the Union. The fearful fanat icism of the
present ruling majority gave us the burthens
of the Union, but none of its privileges.
“Mr. Cohen continued: Shall this state of
things remain f And can it ever lie altered if
the South folds its arms and lies down in un
worthy inaction—Mr. Chairman, I hope not.
The conservative men of the North extend to
us the right hand of fellowship—shall we
spurn their offers, or shall we unite with them
in every effort to restore the South to her
righttul position in the councils of the coun
try ? We can do nothing by inaction—but
wc may benefit our country by becoming en
ergy. Does any man want the present condi
tion of affairs to continue! Does he desire
the present prostration of the country ?—I am
sure not. Let us then unite in this Conven
tion, and even if n® good shall result, wc will
at least have the consciousness to knotr that
the fault is not ours.”
Spurious Currency.—Reports received
at the Treasury Department, state that the
Southern States arc at present flooded with
counterfeit. United States notes, national
bank notes, nud fractional currency of every
denomination. One of the Treasury detect
ives, while on an official visit to one of the
Southern cities, observed that an immense
quantity of this spurious money is circula
ting there among all classes, who, with few
exceptions, accept it as readily as the genu
ine. The detective received, while making
some trifling purchases, nearly half his change
in counterfeit money, and, being desirous
ot ascertaining some estimate of the
amount of this trash in circulation, seized
upon the money “tills” of several merchants
doing quite nu extensive business, and dis
covered that about one-half their contents
were counterfeit, which consisted of United
States notes of the various issues and de
nominations, all the denominations of frac
tional currency, and quite a number of conn
terfeits on the national banks of the North
and West

“OUR HEROIC LIVING.”
For the Dally Telegraph. J
Mr. Editor:—In deep sympathy with every
movement proposed to do honor to our sleep
ing heroes, who fell in defence of our just but
“lost cause,” and desirous that every one
should be removed from those temble battle
fields, the theatre of their struggles, to some
quiet resting place where affection can pay
its homage to its loved and lost, I have it
not in my heart to throw a single obstacle in
the way of those who are laboring in this
glorious work. How touchingly beautiful is
this tribute to Southern heroism upon the
part of our mothers and sisters! They felt
and knew how to appreciate the principles
involved in the great struggle, and it is be
fitting in them to come to-day with saddened
hearts, and tear-wet flowers to deck the graves
of their fallen loved ones, who had stood
as a living wall between them and insult and
degradation. And before God, as one of their
comrades, I had rather fill a soldier's grave
beside them and receive the tokens of affec
tion and gratitude which swell up
every Southern woman’s heart, than to pos
sess the wealth of tboe remorseless leeches
who drew the life blood from our bleeding
country, and brought confusion and subjuga
tion upon us.
But there is another subject to which I de
sire to call your attention. Perhaps it may he
regarded ns unmanly, and unworthy of one
who had worn the “faded gray.” But be it
so, it is ever in my mind. With devout grat
itude to a kind Providence who vouchsafed
me deliverance from dentil, and who has
left whole libms and a willing heart to la
bor for my daily bread, I cannot help
feeling strange emotions when I sec
so much effort made to remove our sleeping
heroes from their resting places, where nothing
disturbs their slumbers, and where calumny
and slander fall harmless upon their sleeping
dust, while in the cabin just beyond I hear
their wives and little ones crying for bread.
And when I read those burning, stirring ap
peals for the “dead of ltesacca,” of Murfrees
boro’, and of Richmond, involuntarily the
exclamation comes up, the Lining of Rc-
Sacea and of Murfreesboro’, and of Rich
mond—who are caring for them ?
Dear mothers and sisters, while you are
wearing wreaths of honor for the noble dead,
remember that their wives and little ones are
no less martyrs to the glorious cause which
was so near and dear to your hearts. They
offered up, as a willing sacrifice upon tbe altar
of their country, their all; and to
day tho tears of orphanage bedew the
whole land, and the moan of the widow fe
borne upon every breeze that sweeps over
our sunny South, and many are the Rachels
weeping because their children are not. I
beseech you. therefore, in the expending of
your efforts, forget not the living.

A Foolish Order from Gen. Sheridan.
New Orleans. July 18tb.—Gen. Sheridan
lins issued an order prohibiting in this mili-
taiy division the erection of any monument
in commemoration of the rebellion, and the
re-organization of Confederate companies,
batteries, brigades, &c., for any purpose what
ever.
TENNESSEE ^Tn^CONST.TET.ONAL TELE GRAPHIC
"We annex an extract from the proceedings j
of the Tennessee House of Representatives |
on tho 19th. showing the manner in which
the Constitutional Amendment passed that
body. For utter disregard of law, the move
ment is without a parallel. It will be seen
that but fifty-four members were present—
two less than a quorum—and that the whole
thing was carried through by overruling the
decision of the Speaker." It* is a mild term
to say that such proceedings are revolution
ary.
Mr. Amell suggested that there was now a
quorum in the House, and that the roll be
again called.
On calling the roll the second time, fifty-
four members answered.
Mr. Amell remarked that with tho two
members who were in the committee-room
under arrest, there was now a full quorum in
the House.
Mr. Garner demurred to the position, and
remarked that, until released by (lie House,
the two members referred to, being under
nrrest, could not be considered component
parts of the body. lie therefore considered
it the proper course to have said Members re
leased.
Mr. Smith suggested that all tint was nec
essary was to invite the two prisoners to the
floor of the House.
Mr. Mullins moved that Mesirs. Martin
and Williams be requested to lea\e the com
mittee-room, and come on the flotr of the
House. Cairied—ayes 50, noes t. Those
voting no, were Messrs. Overstreet, Stegald
aud Warren.
Mr. Moss said that if the censufe was re
moved from the two gentlemen, tie would
vote aye; it not he would vote no.
The Speaker then directed the (borkeeper
to invite the prisoners within the bar of the
House.
Tile doorkeeper immediately reported that
(he two gentlemen said they would come in
if their case would be investigated; if they
were wanted lor other purposes they would
not come.
Mr. Raulston moved that Messrs. Martin
and Williams be brought in.
No action being had on Mr. Rauliton’s mo
tion.
Mr. Mullins moved that the Senate resolu
tion on the Constitutional amendment be
adopted.
Mr. Jarvis remarked that this vtis a sub
ject of such grave importance that he wanted
to make a few remarks.
The Speaker was here appealed to that the
discussion was out of order, when Mr. Mullins
nrose and moved the previous question on
the adoption of the Constitutional amend
ment.
Mr. {Jarvis claimed the floor, remarking that
he had not givenit up, and would, therefore,
appeal to the decision of the chair.
The Speaker decided in favor of Mr. Mul
lins, when Mr. Jarvis appealed to the House
from the decision of the chair.
On the vote being taken on the appeal, the
Speaker’s decision was sustained by—ayes
37, noes 10.
On the vote being announced, the Speaker
said there was no quorum present.
The prisoners were again invited in, and
again refused to come in.
Mr. Smith, of Hardeman, suggested that
theii presence in the House was not absolute
ly necessary, so long as they were in hearing
in the committee room.
The Speaker again decided that there was
not a quorum present, when Mr.MulIins ap
pealed from the decision of the Speaker.

Serious Affair on Folly Island.—A
number of reports were in circulation ye$tcr
day of a mutiny among the colored troops on
Folly Island. Amongst other things it was
rumored that one or more of the white officers
had been cither killed or seriously wounded.
The facts, as wo learn them, are, that a steam
er from the city with a number of colored
females on board went over to Folly Island
last night. Some of the men of a Company
of the 128th U. S. C. T., stationed on Folly
Island desired to go on board the steamer for
the purpose of having a dance. Permission
was refused by their officer, when sixteen
members of the Company took their muskets
and expressed a determination to have their
own way, and started towards the vessel—
The Captain ordered them back and called
upon the rest of the Company to fall into line
for tbo purpose of enforcing his order. Some
of the others also refused, and in tbo fight
which ensued one of the mutinous soldiers
was killed and two others severely wounded.
Gen. Seott, on receiving information ot tho
affair, •rdernl Major Roy, with a Company
of the 6th United States Infantry over to
Folly Island yesterday morning with instruc
tions to arrest all the’guilty parties and bring
them to tbo, city. Major Roy visited the is
land, arrested toe refractory soldiers and re
turned with them to the city last evening.
No white officer was injured during the
affair.--Charleston Courier, 20M.
Natural Gas.—At GetsriUe, npar Buffalo,
N. Y., a supply of natural gas has been dis
covered which far exceeds the illuminating
power of common gas, and is now discharg
ing itself at the rate ot forty thousand feet
per day. It is now in contemplation to light
the city of Buffalo with it.
I Another Triumph of Science.
Recent experiments in England have giv
en to the world another triumph of science in
the control and management of tie danger
ous explosive, gun-powder, more wonderful
in its results than the use and domestication
as it were, ot lightning, as applied to the
magnetic telegraph. The annountement that
gunpowder has been so put under control that
in one minute a barrel of it tliroyn on bum-
ingmaterials will smother the fire and in the
next instant it can be so rearranged that it
will propel a cannon ball with unUminishcd
force, will possibly draw largely upon the
credulity of our readers, but it is dated to be
the fact. The gunpowder is rendered inno
cuous, it is claimed, by admixture with glass
crushed to an impalpable powder, which can
again Be rapidly separated from the gun
powder by sifting. Several expenments had
been tried with it, such as insertiig red hot
irons in the prepared powder and throwing
it in shovelfuls on a fire, but the London
Times of June 23d gives an account of an
experiment on a grand scale, wlich seems
to he conclusive os to the valic of the
invention. The government commission had
338 barrels filled with five tons > f gunpow
der, mixed with twenty tons of powdered
;lass, and placed iu a condemned martello
tower, between Hastings and Rye. A charge
if pure gunpowder was put into tht barrels
md an attempt made to explode (hem by
slectricity. The charge of pure gunpowder
exploded, blowing out the ends of the bar-
els and scattering some of the contents; but
in entering the tower no further damage was
band, and the gunpowder treated with glass
ras cooling down. A pile of firewood was
hen laid on the loose modern floor near the
gunpowder, and as the barrels containing the
»owder burned the contents, falling on the
ire, smothered it, burning towards the edges,
lowever, like a bad port-fire. Two barrels of
he mixture were then placed on a pile of
lazing fagots, and as they burned and burst,
be gunpowder falling on the fire, rather
leadened the flames; while in the tower the
re had by this time gradually died out, leav-
ig a great part ot the gunpowder nnconsum-

Nr. Bingham called up a joint resolution,
reported months ago from the Reconstruc
tion Committee, providing for the admission
cf Tennessee into the Union.
Mr. Stevens opposed it by a motion to lay
it on the table, which failed.
Mr. Bingham then offered a resolution to
at once restore the State to its former rela

the subject, the House adjourned.

BEST MACHINE FOR PACKING COT
IN THE WORLD!
1. ITS SIMPLICITY.—It is anew and imps
application of the Screw Power; just a* simp
its construction as i he old-fashio ted wood.mtc
as >asily managed, and no more Hab’elogout

2. ITS ECONO MV—It has been demon

screw. The timbers used in its. construciictf
much smaller and fewer .an those
the old screw, the levers being only 10 feet It
and the height o r the whole frame above J* 1
being only 10 leet. All these timbers can

the frame, and half a dozen hands will put it-I
a few hours. • f
3. ITS DURABILITY.—The Screw and >-J

ciablc wear. The whole machine occupies
space that it can be completely covered it'
small cost.
4. ITS POWER.—With a lever only lftfcet--
one mule is sufficient lor packing the Bffi
Bales. Planters who have used it say that wi-j
mules cotton may be compressed on this bm
lor shipment.
