A committee representing the "Working
Men's National Convention, recently in ses
sion at Baltimore, lmd an audience, by ap
pointment, last evening with the Presiden
whom they addressed, through their Chair
man, upon such topics as most immediately
interested their organization and cause. The
intercession of the President was asked to
secure a reduction of the hours of labor, n
more equitable flUribaM of the publi
lands, and a ch-ngc in the pre.cnt ?ys'. cm 0
convict labor. They received the rnojt sat
lif.iS uf ■MuruuccB iroui the P. esident 'of h
Arm opposition to the present system of con
vict labor, on account of its degrading in
fluences. With respect to the proper dis
posal of the public lands, he cited his record
when in Congress, to show his inflexible pur
pose to secure homesteads to actual settlers,
and his opposition to monopolies of the pub
lic domain in any manner or shape. The
assurance was also given, that he always was,
and always would be, in favor of all laws,
tending to advance the interests of the la
boring masses of the country, and alleviate
their condition, as lie regarded them the true
aristocracy of the country, and the only ar
istoerncy he is an advocate of. He also con
veyed an assurance of his readiness to co
operate, when the proper time arrived, for
bringing about a shortening of the hours of
_«j to lay Harper’s Weekly on theircoun

most cordial and satisfactory character. The
expectations of some that the President
would express himself more directly with
respect to the operations in the navy yards,
arsenals and other government departments,
were entertained whilst nnapprised of the
fact that Congress alone has the power to ad
just that matter, and any advance movement
on his part would be an encroachment upon
the prerogative of another department of the
government.

tc-ntive, enlisted and eager throng. The sev-
veral committees charged with perfecting the
arrangements came fully up to the wishes of
all. Over the Speaker's stand, which was
richly festooned with national banners, was
erected a semi-circular transparency of large
proportions, bearing in large letters the words
“Federal Union Restored;” over this, thirty-
six stars formed of brilliant gas jets encircled
the whole, imparting a beautiful aspect to the
eye.
Phillip R. Fendall, Esq., aa eminent citi
zen, and of national reputation, long identi
fied with the old whig party, and for many
years U. S. District Attorney, presided. No
aspirant for political preferment, but, with
thousands of others, he has laid aside politi
cal differences, and is lending his potential
influence to re-establish our Union upon a
firm, constitutional and sound basis.
Hon. A. J. Rogers, of New Jersey, General
Darbin Ward, of Ohio, Hon. E. O. Perrin, of
New York, Richard T. Merrick, F. McNcr-
hany. Louis Schade, Esqs., of this city, Genl.
Heath, of Nebraska, and Hon. Wm. Rollins,
were of the principal speakers.
The large mass were addressed simultane
ously from two stands: Mr. Scbade address
ing his German friends in their native lan
guage. The proceedings were extended to a
late hour, and the spirit which was evinced
bore a gratifying proof that the days of radi
calism were numbered—the watch-word now
inscribed is Liberty, Union, and Constitution
of our fathers.
Arrangements are fully perfected for the
setting out of the President and suite on the
coming Tuesday, on route to Chicago. The
cortege will number about sixty persons, in
cluding Secretaries Seward, Wells, McCul
loch and Postmaster General Randall with
Admiral Farragut, and other noted person
ages in the civil and military service. Among
other prominent points which will be touch
ed en route to their destination, they will
visit Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York,
West Point, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland and
Detroit. On their return trip, they will touch
at many of the prominent Western cities.—
Gen. McCullaxn, late Superintendent of mili
tary railroads, has charge of the transporta
tion arrangements, which are of such com
pleteness as to promise safety and comfort to
the excursionists. They will be absent about
two weeks, and anticipate a pleasant and
healthfhl trip."
Fred Douglas (negro) has been chosen a
Delegate to the Philadelphia Union (I) Con
vention which meets on the 3d proximo, and
signified his acceptance of the charge. It Is
incumbent upon Brownlow, Stokes. Maynard
in having manufactured out of whole- cloth,
exaggerated and monstrous accounts of
Southern outrages, and publishing them as
correspondence for the purpose of inflaming
sectional discord.
Tilt advices received here from the North
and West give the most encouraging accounts
of the revolution in public feeling in advocacy
of the National poiicy initiated by the late
Convention. The enthusiasm and determina
tion everywhere manife.-te t, presents a sure
augury or a political revolution
which will gladden the hearts of all true pa
triots. It is the determined purpose to in
fuse an activity and spirit in the coming elec
tions surpassing anything ever heretofore de*
veloped. Counties and towns heretofore re
garded 03 liopelessly’wedded to extremism,
and beyond the contingency of regener
ation, will be thoroughly canvassed and
contested to the hilt. Money is already sub
scribed in large amounts by those heretofore
in sympathy with the Republican party when
sailing under the proposed banner of the
Union, for the purpose of disseminating doc
uments, sending speeches into every section
of the North, and for defraying such other
expenses as arc necessary, consequent upon
a vigorous campaign. Arrangements are in
progress to hold mass-meetings throughout
the Northern and Western States to ratify the
action of the National Convention. The in
fluence of the Federal administration will be
thrown actively in the canvass to assist in the
great work of redeeming the land from the
banc and curse of radicalism. Signs all in
dicate that radicalism will be fully swept out
of influential existence.

From the last steamer’s news, we select
what appears to be authentic information on
two prominent points of public interest,
about which there is much misapprehension:
THE FRENCH DEMAND.
[Berlin (August 8) Correspondence Pads Slecle.]
I am leaving in an hour, and send the latest
ume in the North. Tbe Radical, no less than
the Conservative papers afford abundant
proof upon this point. But independent of
evidence of this character, I tiud upon inquiry
behind the scenes, among persons in a posi
tion to be well informed, that there is every
reason to believe that die ^pnroHcl.fog Fall
elections will result in ■<£? jp*ons to the
supporters of the PrejiifJ^%floajy in the
next Congress. Con-erv;;'the tenp'iblici.ns,

est as it is gratifying. Since my a. 'i zai
Lore from Philadelphia, I have been
communication with lending men in all
these political organizations, and find that
they have buried the tomahawk, and are
now getting ready to call a grand mass meet
ing where they will smoke the pipe of peace.
Indeed, when a few weeks shall have passed,
we shall hear no more of Democrats, Copper
heads or Republicans, among the supporters
of the President. The new organization which
is so rapidly rising out of the ashes of those
old and effete parties will thereafter be known
as the Conservative party, or the National
Union party—probably the former. This or
ganization will embrace nine-tenths of the
Southern people, and a majority of the
Northern, including among the latter, com
mercial and business men generally, both in
the larger cities and the country.' Perhaps
this remark will not apply to New England
but even there considerable gains are expect
ed on the popular vote, especially in Con
necticnt, New Hampshire and Maine. Even
in Boston, there is some prospect of return
two Conservative members to Congress.
It is understood among the political lead
ers here that a Democrat will be nominated
for Governor of this State—probably Mayor

much -that diplomatic conve: -ation ha; tak
en place on the subject, and that Prussia
shows herself little disposed to meet the
wishes of France in regard to territorial com
pensation. This may perhaps be the reason
why the King of Prussia said nothing in the
speech about the Prussian annexations. This
complication is, however, attenuated in a
certain measure by the fact that the relations
of the two governments continue to be very
cordial They both desire to cultivate friend
ly relationship between France and New Ger
many. I cannot, however, hesitate to say—
and what I now say is personal, and does not
Si-.-!-—that any Kfiirli prcti-n-ioii-
whicli should wound the national sentiment
in Germany would make the Germans rally
to a rnan round the standard of the King of
[Pussia. That is the tnfth, and at this crisis
I think it is better to tell it to you in all its
nakedness. Military Germany might be a
danger for France, but the great German
democracy about to be constituted, with M.
de Bismarck—or without him—may become
our most sincere and faithful ally.
THE EMPRESS CHARLOTTE’S VISITS TO FRANCE.
[Paris (Aug. 14) Correspondence London Times.]
I have more precise information as to the ob
ject of the Empress Charlotte’s visit to Paris.
It is to obtain a release, for the present, from
the obligation ef paying what isjane to France
out of the proceeds af the Mexican custom
houses. The invasions of the insurgent hands
have greatly reduced their proceeds, which
are now confined to the jiort of Vera Cruz.—
The Mexican government requires, even with
the strictest ccomy, 500,000 piasters monthly
for its indispensiblc expenses; and for some
time past it has not been in tho receipt of
more than two-fiftiis of that sum from the
customs. The financial condition of the Mex
ican government is thus reduced to the low
est ebb, and it is to seek relief from its gener
ous creditor that her Majesty has braved the
dangers of pestilence and of the ocean. It is
said that should her solicitations prove inef
fectual (which is not likely,) tin- Eatpras
Charlotte will not hesitate to place in the
Emperor’s hands as her tdMasMl her hus
band’s abdication ol the throne of Mexico.—
It is in this extremity that one of the most
ingenius members of the Cabinet is directed
to invent some combination. The matter is
not an easy one, for the sums due from Mexi
co figure :is an item of receipt in the French
budget, and the deficiency caused by this
non-payment must he made up from other
source-i" The raids of the rebel bands, too
often successful, are attributed to the reduc
tion of the nmiv ot occupation. After all.
Marshal Forey was not so far wreng when he
insisted a year ago on the necessity of main
taining at all risks the whole fore* in the
country, and striking a vigorous blow which
probably would Imre completely crushed the
malcontent*.

The author describes the following scene at
Chicago, which is characteristic of the late
distinguished Senator. The report is given
as related by Mr. Douglas himself:
When I returned to Chicago I was met at
Buffalo by a friend, who brought letters from
other friends at Chicago, protesting against
my return, and warning me that I wouid be
. I inevitably killed if I did. I insisted upon
-o-caijed, I going, a ml did so. I arrived there in the
-eco-C-^" morning, wpnt to mv hotel, and after a few
1 ’ *£ r n days, three or four, Issued a notice of • speech
to be made by me in front of North Market
Hall. All the newspapers in the city de
nounced me, and published daily articles en
couraging personal violence, reminding the
people that in eighteen hundred and fifty, on
thepassage ofthe Compromise Measures,I had
returned and succeded in quelling an outbreak
against those measures, and that this thing
could not be done a second time. Know-
Nothingism had, pending the Nebraska bill
been organized in the United States for the
first time, and in Chicago the anti-Nebraska
men had organized into Know-Nothing lodg
es, and probably included within those lodges
nine-tenths of all the men in the city. It was
ascertained that they secretly determined
and bound themselves by their oaths not to
allow me to speak; and it is known that one
of these thirty or forty lodgers ordered by
telegraph, and received by express from New
York, the night before I was to speak, two
hundred and fifty of Colt’s revolvers.
When the day arrived the flags were hung
at half-mast on the shipping in the harbor,
and for several hours before the time appoint
ed all the church bells in the city were tolled,
at which signal the mob assembled in a force
of about ten thousand. I had forty or fifty
men who pretended to bo with me privately
but not half a dozen were so openly; they
were all afraid. At tho appointed hour I re
paired to the meeting and went upon the
stand and was greeted by that unearthly yell
taught and practiced in the Know-Nothing
Lodges—a howl no man can imitate,
food and looked at the mob until
the howling ceased. When they
ceased I commenced by saying, that “I ap
pear before you to-night for the purpose of
vindicating the Kansas Nebraska Act.” Be
fore the sentence was ended the howl began
again. When it ceased I would begin, and as
soon as I commenced it was renewed. At
times I appealed to their pride, as the cham
pions of free speech, for a hearing; the bow
ing was renewed; at other times I would de
nounce them as a set of cowards who came
armed with bowie-knives and pistols to put
down one man unarmed—afraid to hear the
truth spoken, lest there might be some honest
men among them who would be convinced.
At one time I got a hearing for ten or fif
teen minutes, anil was evidently making an
impression upon the crowd, when there
marched m from the outside a body of three
or four hundred men with red shirts, dressed
as sailors, and thoroughly armed, who moved
through the crowd immediately in front, and
peremptorily ordered me to leave. I stood
nnd looked at them until lliey ceased yelling,
and then denounced them at defiance, and
dared them to shoot at an unarmed man.—
The pistols began to fire all around
the outside of the crowd, evidently
into the air: eggs and stones were
thrown at the stand, several of them hitting
men who were near me, and for several hours
this wild confusion and fury continued. The
wonder is, that amid that vast excited crowd
no one was so far excited or maddened as to
fire a ball at me. The stand was crowded with
my enemies, reporters and newspaper men,
and this wa3 undoubtedly my best protec
tion. I stood upon the front ot the
stand, in the midst of that confusion, from
eight o’clock in the evening until quarter
past twelve at night, when I suddenly drew
my watch from my pocket, looked at it
in front ot the crowd, and in a distant
tone of voice said, at an interval ot silence:
“It is now Sunday morning—Til go

absence of any
ise from fiirther
people cannot bide their time—if they can
not exercise the necessary patience, forbear
ance and discretion, they need not expect
either success in the approaching elections in
the North, or an early removal of the burdens
under which they now groan.
To a Southern man here upen the ground,
who is somewhat conversant with the purpo
ses and feelings of the Radical and Conserva
tive parties, it appears very strange that the
action of the Philadelphia Convention should
meet with such opposition as it does from
certain individuals and journals in the
South. This remark is venture! with the
most perfect respect and the kiidest feelings
for the journals and individual! alluded to.
There arc several things, in tie resolutions
and address, adopted by the Convention to
which it could not be expeebd that the
pecplc of the South would bi able to give
assent Indeed there was probably not a del
egate in the Convention who approved ol eve
rything that was done. It is not expected in
such a convention as that held at Philadelphia
that a result could be reached which would
be satisfactory to every lxkly. It is certainly
true, that but veiy few, if any, of the South
cm delegates were able to ap’prove of all that
was done. It were the wildest folly to hope
that the beaten party ia a great civil war ap
pearing for the first time in n Convention
with their conqueror*, would be able to have
everything just as they might desire. Ths
Northern delegates met us “with great kind
ness and cordiality—some of them even with
tears—but it would hare been extreme im
pudence on pur part, especially where they are
now fighting our b ittleswith so much ear
nestness, and when there is no contest at the
Sonth, to ask them to shape the action of
the Convention with exclusive reference to
the views and feelings of the Southern peo
ple.
I may add in conclusion that the tide is
setting strongly in favor of the President’s
policy and the Philadelphia movement, and
quite as strongly aerain.-t those, whether in

Revolting Scene at an English Ex
ecution.
From the London Daily News, Ang. 8.]
At 8 o’clock yesterday morning Wm. Col-
liew was hanged at Stafford for murdering a
young gentleman nnmed Thomas Smith.—
The criminal was thirty-five years old. In
consequence of the high wind and rain, the
crowd was unusually small. The following
revolting scene occurred:
At 8 o'clock the procession had reached
the scaffold. With more than customary de
liberation the executioner placed the noose
over the head of the pinioned man, and drew
over his face the white cap. While the cler
gyman was still reading the service, the hang
man lowered the drop with a jerk. There
was immediately n cry of “The mnn is down,
the rope has broken.” This proved to be
true. Collier fell to the ground, and the end
ofthe halter, liberated suddenly, swung back
upon his shoulders like a whip. For an in
stant there was dismay, both upon anil in
side the scaffold erection. The executioner
was for a moment incapable. He ran down
the steps and beneath the platform, and
found Collier upon his leet, leaning against
the side of the boarding, the enp still over his j
face and the rape round his neck. He
seemed to be ^unconscious, and the execu
tioner turned back again, not knowing what
to do. The assistant warders, however,
seemed instantly to understand what hail ;
happened. While one ran into the prison to
procure a halter, the other directed Smith to
take the broken rope from off the culprits
neck. The executioner had now regained his
-elf posession. He quickly removed the rope
from Collier's neck, set him upright, and
drew the cap from his face. The poor fellow,
partially recovered, was repeating barely au
dibly tlic responses to the prayers which the
clergyman, quickly following the execution
er from the scaffold floor, had begun again
to read aloud in the ears of tho seemingly
penitent man. Collier w.-i- exceedingly pale,
who had suffered imprisonment, persecution
and »xi!e for sympathizing with our suffer
ings and trials! If there was one wretch so
heartless from the South, I am happy to sav
I did not and never wish to know him. My
own views and sense of duty wore veiy clear
and I believe they were those of every South
ern gentleman in the Convention. It was,
that we could not, in personal honor or con
science, and with a due regard to the honor
and conscience of our constituents, vote to
unseat a gentleman whose right was patented
to him by the gallant Democracy of Ohio,
was as good as our own, and whose only dis
ability was that he xvas ourfriendin trouble.
Under the call for the Convention he had a
clear right, for its theory was amnesty for the
past anil fidelity to a common patriotic ob
ject in the future. It was upon this theory
that we of the South were there, and it was
foreign to the objects and fatal to the effects
expected to be produced, to begin ia the
work of peace and harmony by persecuting
and punishing for past political differences.
I would not, and could not have remained an
instant in that Convention if any Northern
delegate like Messrs. Vallandigham or Wood,
properly accredited, had been unseated by
vote.

Carltle on Health.—There is no kind cf
achievement you could make in the world
that is equal* to perfect health. What are
nuggets and millions ? The French finan
cier said, “Ala3! why is there no sleep to be
Soldi’ Sleep nas not in the market at any
quotation. It is a curious thing that I re
marked long ago, and have often turned in
my head, that the only word for “holy” in the
“healthy.” And so heilbro/m means “holy
well” or “healthy-well.”
We have the Scotch “hale;” and I suppose
our English word “whole” with a “w,” all of
one piece, without any hole in it, is the same
word I find that you could not get any bet
ter definition of what “holy” really is than
“healthy.”—“completely healthy.” Jfcns seno
eorpore sano. A man with his intellect,
a clear, plain geometric mirror, brilliantly
sensitive of all objects and impressions around
it, and imagining all tihngs in their correct
proportions, not twisted up into convex or
concave, and distorting everything, so that
he cannot see the truth of the matter with
out endless groping and manipulation—
healthy, clear and free, and all around about
him.
We can never attain that at all. In fact
the operations we have got into are destruc
tive of it You cannot, if you are going to
do any decisive intellectual operation, if you
are going to write a book—at least I never
could—without getting decidedly made ill
by it £and really you must, if it’s your busi
ness, and you must follow out what you are
at, and it is sometimes at the expense of
health. Only remember at all times to get
back a« fast as possible out of ft into health,
and regard the great equilibrium as the cen
tre of things,
Peace Hath its Victories.
To prevent or conquer disease is a grand achieve
ment; and as surely as bullet and bayonet will destroy,
surely will HOSTETTER’S BITTERS preserve and
prolong life.
This is the most trying period of the year. The
stamina of the strongest yields more or less to the con
suming temperature of midsummer. Vigor oozes from
every pore. The strength of man passes sway in invfs-
slble vapor, and weaker woman becomes relaxed and
nerveless, (t was to meet such difficulties that Hostet-
tor’s Bitters were given to society. It is to prevent the
evil consequences to which an unbraced, depleted, de
bilitated organization is liable, that they are recommen
ded as a SUMMER TONIC for both sexes. Old people
die of exhaustion every day, who might have kept
death at bay for years to come by an occasional resort
this powerful and harmless vegetable stomachic.
Nine-tenths of the community, rich as well as poor,
wonx continually. If their hands oreunemployed their
brains are busy, and head work is as depressing to the
vital energies as mnscnlor toil. But tone the system
with Hostelter’s Bitters and the wear and tear of busi
ness life will be camparatively nnfelt even in the most
oppressive weather. No languor will be experienced,
for as fast as tho vital forces are expended they will be
recruited and renewed by this healthful restorative.—

A Darkey’s Defence.—The Columbia
Gazette, of yesterday, says that Stephen Ir
vin, an aged negro, having been guilty of vi
olating one of the town ordinances, was ar
raigned before the • Recorder, and made tho
following defense:
“It is de rite of de colored population un
der do wise and freelogisticated laming ofde
Gubner Bronnlow under de circumstances of
ile case dat de nigger once of a dark or pun-
kin hue, is now do whitest of desc flegisted

of things in the excise of what seems alego-
rically sposed to the profundity of dat party
white as de nigger and sposed to think him
better than demselvcs. Desc arc rights dat
longs to de colored folks of dea leviated
land.”
A good demand has existed during the past week
in tho cotton market, and some lew transactions
have taken place to fill orders, and speculators
have entered the market, and operated to a limited
extent for shipment on the basis of 30 cents for
Middling. The oifering stock is now quite small,
and only alimitcd business mzy be looked for until
the new crop begins to come'to market freely.—
Some 16 bales of the new crop have been received,
four of which classing as fair, wero disposed of at
40 cents per lb., and were shipped to New York,
and will no doubt be the first Georgia cotton re
ceived at that port this season.

The Mystery About Lif.ct. Maury.—
Recurring to an article published a few days
ago in the Richmond Whig, on the subject
3t the disappearance from Vicksburg, in 1863,
of Lieut. J. II. Maury, of the CoY federate
irmy, a son of Commodore M. F. Maury, and
acting at that time on the staff of his relative,
Major General Oabney H. Maury, the Mobile
Register of the 19th says that on Sunday last
n stranger, who gave lii's name as \Y. H. Har
ris, of Louisiana, formerly a scout under the
orders of General Stephen D. Lee, called at
■.lie office of that paper and stated that Lieut
Maury was captured at the time above
alluded to. by a party of Federals,and taken
icros- the Mississippi river, where he was
-hot, or in other words murdered, by order
of e>nc Gridin, a deserter from the Conteder-
Mr. Harris stated that six balls

that he was buried on the spot—about eight
miles below Vick-burg on the Louisiana
shore. The same individual further stated

As will be seen from the above table, the stock
of Cotton on hand and on shipboard not cleared
this day, 31st inst., is 5,S2S bales Upland and 27
bales 8ei Island Cotton, a difference of 775 bales
of Upland and 427 bales Sea Island aa compared
with oar stock carefully taken this day. Wo have
been at great pains to" arrive at a co’rrect stock
on tho 1st of September, and think our figures
