Southern delegates to the Convention there,
that perhaps the presence of late “traitors

delphians may bo able to stand. This is a

with Northern complaints that their citizens
cannot travel in the South with personal se

The Cholera oh Ttbbe—Strangs Dis-
coetanct.—Wo published yesterday a Sa
vannah dispatch stating that twenty-nine
deaths from cholera and thirty-five new cases
had occurred on Tybee Island between
o'clock Monday morning and 6 o’clock Tues
day evening.
The Savannah Herald of Tuesday gives
very different statement, including Monday
in its account It says,
“Wolearn from Tybec that there was only
one death from cholera among the soldiers
yesterday, and that there were no new cases.
Wo understand that the remaining cases arc
doing well, and that the Surgeon does not
apprehend any further spread of the disease.
“Ammunition.”—The insertion of this
word in the resolution of Congress, to which
Mr. Raymond has called public attention, is,
says the Richmond Dispatch, very strong
testimony of the truth of bis charge that the
Radicals mean to inaugurate a civil war in a
certain contingency. Never belore in this
country, during peace, has “ammunition"
been distributed. Arms havo been distribut
ed, and there have been ransters of the mili
tia, and drillings, so-called. But never was
there distributed “ammunition,” nnd this
is what may be considered the vital spark of
tho revolutionary plot Tho very act of its
distribution is indicative of a purpose to use
tho arms at an early day, and in a deadly
manper. Ammunition, save in very small
quantities, is not necessary for purposes of or
ganizing and drilling tho millitia. There is
no way of explaining this word, save by con
atruing it to moan, violence and bloodshed.
Fourth District Convention.
Macon, July 25th, 1866.

/ HO, FOR LIBERIA!
Wc understand that quite a grand Libenan
emigration scheme is on foot among tho ne
groes of Middle Georgia. Hundreds, it is
said, are preparing to return to the land of
their fathers, which they are very naturally
prone to look upon ns an Eldorado in which
their highest prosperity and bliss arc to be
attained to. It is said that the movement is
progressing under Northern anspiqc%nt>bat
vessels have been prepared, frfV SSnflJporta
tion offered, with a tract of land to be thrown
in when they get there, all at the expense of
the Government.
We are not aware of any legislation that
authorizes the holding ont of such induce
ments, though we do not profess any great
familiarity with the additions to the Federal
statute book during the last five years. It
may all be so; and if true, we adviso all the
colored population who are averse to living un
dor white government, to avail themselves of
the opportunity to rid themselves of the bur
then for the future. We hope they will not be
disappointed in their high expectations of the
Promised Land. Some go because they be
lieve they will live in Liberia without
work, and the restraints of la.w upon
their natural propensities to do wrong. These
are likely to be disappointed; but if they
should be, they will at least find Africa quite
as good a country to starve or be hungjin, as
America. It will be our gain to be rid of ci
ther spectacle. The truly honest, industrious
and thrifty, will get along well anywhere, and
we do not know that Liberia is nn exception.
There is one point though which we would
be doing injustice to these emigrants not to
notice with a friendly admonition. Let them
keep their eyes wide open, and be well assu
red of the true character and intentions of
thoso Northern men who propose to befriend
them in this matter. Let them be sure that
they arc really going (o Liberia, and not to
Cuba, or some other country where they would
lie worth from $800 to $1,200 per head! We
have heard of these Northern emigration
schemes before, and have good reason to be
lieve that some of them have resulted in
large fortunes to the philanthropic underta
kers. Let thc colored people beware whom
they trust in this matter.
The Alexandria Gazette illustrates the
beauties of the Freedmen’s Bureau bill just
passed over the President’s veto by relating
thc performances of a white man named
Winston. This man came to Bealton Station,
on the Orange and Alexandria Rai'rnad, rep
resenting himself as a teacher employed by
the Bureau to instruct the negroes. One of
the negroes pleased with the proposition, in
vited Winston to his house where he remain
ed until the following Sunday, when he at
tended a funeral meeting, and took up a col
lection “only to buy the logs for the school-
house the “Bureau” would pay the teacher
He collected a considerable sum from the
hard earned savings of the negroes, and then
borrowed a horse from another negro to go
to a neighboring saw-mill to buy the logs.—
The man Winston and the horse have not
been heard of since.
Interesting to Delegates.—We are
pleased to see that arrangements are being
made between the Central Executive Commit
tee at Washington and the railroad compa
nies of thc United States to transport all the
delegates to and from the Philadelphia Con
vention at half the current rates of fare.—
President White, of the Macon & Western
has written a letter assenting to thc proposi
tion, and no doubt all thc Southern roads
will follow suit As money is scarce in the
South, this arrangement will prove a great
convenience and induce many to attend the
convention who otherwise would not feel
able to incur the expense.
III.—Wc regret to learn that the Rev.
Father O’Neill, of Savannah, is quite ill of ty
phoid fever, at the residence, in this city, of
Father Cullinan. He being an aged man
(eighty-five years,) his prostration tells on him
with great weight. Hopes of his ultimate re
covery are slight, though wo trust he may yet
be spared to continue his labors in n sphere
of usetnlness.—Col. Sun.
More than three-fourths of the civilized

the following list of papers for nnd against
the Philadelphia Convention:
In the State of New York thirty-two press
es favor the Convention, nnd sixteen oppose
it; Washington City four for and one against

NAPOLEON’S FLAN OP 8Et-. LEMENT -
The Paris Patrie, of J-t*y ll, says :
The negotiations f<v* an armistice have been
delayed by the nec^ 331 *! of taking; into sim
ultaneous consideration both the conditions
of the armistfr-e and the preliminary basis of
a future treaty of peace, if Prussia wishes to
know Deforehand the advant ges which will
bp definitely assured to her. Prince Napo
leon was present at the council of Ministers
held to-day.
The Paris Prette, of July 11, in thc even
ing, publishes an article signed by M. Cuche-
val Charcgny, in which it says:
Yesterday, after the audience given by the
Emperor to Prince Von Reuss, a meeting was
held at the Tuileries in his Majesty’s presence.
Prince Metteroich and Baron Von Oltenburg
represented Austria, aud Count Von Goltz
and Prince Von Reuss, Prussia.
M. Drouyn de lHuys communicated the
views ot France, and drew up a report of the
proceedings at the meeting^ The following
are the bases of the negotl ns suggested
by France, and communicated to Count Von
Goltz and Prinoe Metteroich, by whom they
have been transmitted to Berlin and Vienna:
The Germanic Confederation to be dissolv
ed and another confederation to ( be establish
ed^ which neither Prussia* ’AesVria should
form part

dom would thereby be raised to 25,000,000—
thc Rhine to constitute the western frontier
of Prussia, and the province between the
Rhine and Mcnsc to scire as in indemnity to
thc sovereigns dispossessed^ the war.
An exchange of territory to take place be
tween Baden and Bavaria, which wonld give
the former nearly the whole of the Rhenish
Palatinate; Saxony, Hanover and the Duch
ies of Saxe to conclude military conventions
with Prussia. The inhabitants of Landau to
choose whether they shall belong to France or
Baden, and population of the Talley of the
Sarre io choose between France and thc new
Rhenish sovereigns.
PRUSSIAN STIPULATIONS.
La France, of Paris, of July 11, says:—
Fresh incidents have retarded the departure
of the Prince Napoleon.
The Prussian conditions contained in the
letter of Prince Reuss arc stated to be os fol
lows :
The exclusion of Austria from the Germanic
Confederation.
The exclusive command of the military
and naval forces of the confederation by
Prussia.
The diplomatic representation of Germany
ahroad and the annexation to Prussia of tiie
Duchies and part of the territory already oc
cupied.
La Frante farther states that it has reason
to believe that the Emperor immediately de
spatched to London and St Petersburg the
important communication of Prince Reuss as
raising questions of European interest, which
can only be settled by concert of the great
Powers.
THE AUSTRIAN MANIFESTO.
Vienna, July 10, 1866.
I The Emperor of Austria issued the follow
ing manifesto in Vienna, on tho 10th of July
To My Peoples—The heavy misfortune
which has befallen my Army of the North,
notwithstanding its most heroic resistance to
the enemy, the increased dangers thereby
nacing the Fatherland, the calamities of
with which my beloved kingdom of Bohemia
is being desolated, and which threaten other
parts of my empire, and the painful and irre
parable losses sustained by so many thou
sands of families among my subjects, have
moved to its inmost core my heart, which
beats with so warm and fatherly a feeling for
the good ot my peoples. But tho reliance
which I expressed in my manifesto of the 17tli
of June—a reliance on yonr Unalterable and
faitMul devotion and readiness for any
sclf-sacrificc—a reliance on the courage of
my army, which even misfortune cannot
subdue—a reliance upon God and my
good and sacred right—this liss not wavered
fora simile instant I have addressed myself
to the Einppror of the French, requesting his
good olfices for bringing about an armistice
with Italy. Not merely did the Emperor
readilv respond to my demand, but, with the
noble intention of preventing any turtlier
bloodshed, he even, of his own accord, offer
ed to mediate with Prussia for a suspension
of hostilities, and for opening negotiations
for peace. This offer I have accepted. I am
prepared to make peace upon honorable con
ditions, in order to put nn end to the blood
shed and ravages of war. But I will never
sanction a treaty of peace by which thc fun
damental conditions of Austria’s position ns
a great power would be shaken. Sooner
than that should be thc case, I am resolved
to carry on the war to the utmost extremity,

J| A special dispatch from St Joseph
states that persons from the Plains represent
the Indians massing themselves for war, and
old ranch men inform us that as soon as the
corn is ripe the hatchet will be unburied, and

in wide-spread ruin.

favorable, much more so, than conld have
been expected with the “bureau” rampaging
about. The corn crop is about made and
the cotton is going loosely under the extreme
heat.—Eufawa Fetes, 25th.
