TarJrew 6c. Thompson, are wur Agents In New Orleans, and are alone authorized to solicit and contract for advertisine for the Clarion in that city. City Health Report. MAYOR'S OFFICE, 1 Jackson, Sept 3, 1866.1" Editor Clarion: No case of cholera has taken plaee since the first three reported last-week, and the city is perfectly healthy. D.

N. Baebows, Mayor. Our dispatches of yesterday indicate that the cholera and yellow fever is on the increase in New Orleans. The Superintendent of the Southern Express Company has our thanks for sundry Small favors. The interesting story of "ElmsTille and its Hospital" will be concluded tomorrow, and will be found complete in our Weekly edition of same date.

Samtabt Condition of Niw Orleans. From a classified table published in the New Orleans papers, we learn that tlftfre were 518 deaths from cholera in that city from the 9th to the 29th of August Of this number 260 were whites, 211 blacks balance not classified. The total deaths from cholera and all other diseases for the same period amount to 1040 the greatest mortality being amongst the whites. The Teachers' Convention. Quite a number of gentlemen who hati not heard of the postponement of the Teachers' Convention, arrived here yesterday, and called at our office.

After consultation they concurred, without an exception, in the propriety of postponing the convention until the 22d of October, when they propose returning. In the meantime we invite to our columns, communications from professional teachers and others interested in the subject of education. It will be seen by our dispatches that the Atlantic cable of last year was recovered Sunday morning, 700 mile3 from Heart's Content. Upon being spliced with the cable on board the Great Eastern, the news was sent to Valencia Bay-, Ireland, and from there transmitted over the new cable to this continent. The cable was recovered Sunday morning at forty minutes past four o'clock, and information of the fact was received at our office Sunday night.

Thus in a few days we will have two cables across the Atlantic, when the tariff for dispatches will, doubtless, be ver- materially reduced. Three cheers for the Atlantic Cable, and three times three for Cyrus W. Field We direct public attention to the official notice in our columns as to the time and places designated in the Second Collection District, for the purpose of weighing and marking cotton under the internal revenue laws. The several papers specified are requested to copy, and send bill as indicated. The Memphis Avalanche has been still further enlarged, and is now the biggest as it is one of the best papers on the continent Judge Bullock, presiding Judge of the County Court at Natchez, has decided the State law denying col ored persons the right to carry arms to be a violation of the provision of the State Constitution requiring the Legislature to pass laws for the pro tection of the persons and property of freedmen, and therefore void.

It will be seen by a circular in another column, from the Treasury Department, addressed to Gov. Humphreys, that an order for the discon tinuance of the collection of the direct tax in Madison county was given in the early part of last month. Cholera at DrcK Hill. The Cen tral Banner states upon the authority of a gentleman who arrived at Kosci usko on Friday that thirteen persons had died at Duck Hill station, Thursdaj', and five more corpses were lying their unburied on Thurs day night. The people had generally left the place.

Great excitement pre vails among the citizens along the rail road, in consequence of the probability of this dreadful scourge making its appearance amongst them. The citizens of Durant are making all pos sible arrangements to prevent its ad vent there." Important to the Citizens of Madison couniy. Treasury Department, Aug. 23, 1866. Sir I am directed by the Secretary to acknowledge the receipt of your letter en closing a petition of cituens of Madison county, for discontinuance of collec tions under the' Direct Tax Law; and to state in reply that an order for each discon tinuance was given in the early part of the present month.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, w. E. Chandler, Assistant Secretary. To His Excellency, Benj. G.

Humphreys, Governor, Jackson, Miss. The atmosphere of love is a pure, sweet breath. This desideratum ia on of the results of using Sozodont, which not only invigorates' and preserves the teeth, but renders the mouth aa fragrant as a rose. Remember that" the Red Jacket Bitters are combined the best tonics of the vegetable kingdom, with the pure essence of wheat and rye.the mildest of all stimulants, and that it is therefore a safe medicine when all ordinary tinctures and all unroedi-cated excitants would be pernicious. fU For the Clarion, County CoHrts.

Mr. Editor: Your correspondent, Senexy makes a good suggestion with reference to the repeal of the county court law. Independently of the unconstitutional objections to it, experience has shown that it is an imposition upon the people. No where has it been able to secure that confidence and respect which every branch of the judiciary 'should have, and without which no possible good can result. The members of the Legislature owe it to themselves to repeal the law, for its practical workings reflect upon their tness for the office which they hold.

It is surprising that men of common sense, many of whom are lawj'ers, could nave ever given existence to such a court, confiding to such men, as must necessarily compose the members of the court, the gravest and most complicated questions of law, involving the liberty and property of the the citizens of the State. Another grave objection to it is that it mars our simple and effective judicia ry system, equal, if not superior to the system of any other State in the Union ms is done, by establishing a court inferior to one of the courts established by the constitution. The county court is made a court "inferior to the circuit court," which is a step towards a re lapse into the complicated English system, the very thing which the fra mers ol our constitution intended to avoid. Ta Ml 1. it win ue seen vy reierence to our Constitution that the whole judicial power of the State was vested in cer tain designated courts and it is clear that it was intended the High Court of Errors and Appeals should be the only court of appellate jurisdiction, except in cases irom magistrate court.

It expressly provides that the circuit court shall have original jurisdiction in all cases when the amount involved exceeds fifty dollars, and it is submit ted whether the Legislature has the power to confer any other jurisdiction than that conferred by the Constitu tion. It has been held by the Su preme Court of the United States that Congress has no such power over the courts of the United States, and the principle involved in that case is pre cisely similar to the one involved here. Every court which the Legisla ture can establish is an inferior court only in the sense that the Circuit and Chancery courts are inferior to the High Court of Errors and Appeals and and not in the English common law sense of the term. Again it was never designed by the framers of the Constitution that anT of the jurisdiction assigned by it to one of its enumerated courts could be taken from it by the Legislature, and conferred upon an inferior court of its own creation. The Constitution haa made provision for the dignity character and adaptness of certain courts for the trial of certain causes and it was never intended that the Legislature should dispossess these courts of jurisdiction over these causes, and confide the determination of them to courts, b' name and, in fact inferior to the constitutional courts This proposition is too clear to admit of argument.

The only courts which the Legislature has the power to estab diction with tiie constitutional courts having jurisdiction over the same mat ters which are assigned to the createi courts. The Legislature has the power in other words, to divide the jurisdic tion assigned by the constitution to certain courts, whenever the Legis lature has reason to believe that the public interest requires it, and pro vide for more expeditious trials than the constitutional courts can crive. To allow the Legislature to go be3'orxl this, would be depriving the people of one of the strongest safeguards which the Constitution has thrown around their lives, their homes and their pro perty. In the early history of the State of Mississippi, the Legislature exercised the power given by the Constitution oi estaonsning interior courts and the criminal court for the counties of Warren, Adams, Claiborne, Jefferson and Wilkinson, was established. (See Acts of 1836, page 25.) A court similar to this is what we need at pres ent in every circuit court judicial dis trict.

The district attorney for the circuit court can be the attorney for the criminal court, and whenever the terms of the two courts happen at the same time and place, let it be provided that the circuit court shall try the causes which may be ready for trial. It is known that in England when the court of king's bench is in session at the same time and place with some of the other courts, the former assumes the trial of all causes where there is concurrent jurisdiction. This plan would, under a competent salary for the judge, give us a court which would be creditable to the State would not disfigure our present admir able judiciary system, and would secure that confidence in appeals to law for rights and protection, without which the objects of the judicial department of the government must be inefficiently attained. S. New Orleans Correspondence.

New Orleans, Sept. 1, 1866. Editor Clarion In your edition of Aug. 31st, your correspondent, "Oba diah" seems to think we are all "nanio stricken," and have gone to parts un known because Mr. Cholera takes it into his head to give us a call.

Now it "Obadiah's" visit on St Charles Street wasn't after 1 a. he might, if he looked, have counted a "platoon" instead of a "corporal's guard." Enclosed you will find a mortuary report for the month of August, in which, strange to say, death has fallen in love with the pale faces, making them pay double while kinkey-head slips through his fingers at least the number of deaths by cholera are against the whites. But its too hot to write much. Cool up your way Give kindest regards to all, and love to the "devil." Truly yours -x BBSBaSSaBaSBBBHM I BY TELEGRAPH. Reported for the Clarion.

Henry Ward Beecher's letter, approving the purposes of the Soldiers' Convention, at Cleveland, September 17, as also the policy of the President," elicits high -praise from Conservative journals. The New York Evening Post says of Beecher's letter It deserves to be written in letters of gold. It ought to be read by every man and woman in the country. It is an appeal to the sober common 9ense of the American people, which we hope will bear wholesome fruits, and will turn many from the blind ai.d passionat2 to the thoughtful and reasonable consideration of the greatest questions which have ever been before the American people.

September 3, le66 The steamer Terrible arrived here to-day. She left the Cable fleet on Wednesday morning, short of coal and provisions. At that time the Great Eastern was steering for a point one hundred miles east of where the Cable was laid last year. All attempts to raise the cable in two thousand fathoms depth having failed, the following diary of events prior to securing the cable on Suuday are interestiug Sunday, Aug 12. Great Eastern joined the Terrible and Tarbonge at the The Albassy had hooked the cable previous to coming up, and lost it with two miles of grappling rope.

Bt one o'clock, ship time, the cable came to the surface at the bow of the Great Eastern, but while all were congratulating themselves on the great success, the cable slipped off the grapples and disappeared. From this date up to Wednesday evening, we were grappling with various success. On one occasion, the Albanv j-n Mil Ihe weather was unfavorable at the time the Terrible left. St. Petersburg, Saturday, Sept.

1 The Russian Government, prior to the negotiations for peace, proposed to the French Emperor and the other powers, that neutrals should participate in the territorial changes occasioned by the results of the war The proposition as not supported by France or England, and the Czar refrained from offi cially moving in the matter, reserving to himself, however, liberty of action in the future. Prague, Sept. 1. The terms of peace between Austria aud Italy are in rapid progress towards settlement, and it is generally believed that peace will be fully consummated between these powers in ten days. Loxoox, September 1st, evening.

The London Times of to-day, in view of the questions arising between England and America, growing out of the recent war in the United States, and the more recent raids by the Fenians into Canada, urges the British Governinen to take into serious consideration the feasibility, if not the necessity of extending the propositions of the neutral laws as to holding the diffeaent governments to a strict liability for all acts in violation of that law committed by the subjects of each.

Heart's Context, Sept. 2. The Cable of last year was picked up this Sunday morn ing at 4:40 o'clock, in latitude 51:52, longi tutids 36:03. The splice was made, and the Cable lowered at 7 a.

The Great Eastern is now 700 miles from here, paying out. Everthing is going on well, and they expect to reach here on Satur day next. New York, Sept. 2 By the Cable, Paris, 1st). The Emperor Napoleon, in a letter written to King Victor Emanuel on the 11th August, rejoices that the era of peace has returned.

He says that he expected the cession of Venetia from order that the people of that country might be enabled to choose their own destiny. The Emperor adds that he has exerted his influence in favor of humanity, and the best interest of the people of Venetia and Italy. Line tollowing aispatcnes were received too late Saturday night for our issue of Sunday morning. Washington, Sept. 1.

Thomas J. Durant, of New Orleans, and Parson Brownlow spok at a mass meeting in Philadelphia last night. The former said Gov. Wells, under directions from Washington, filled every office with men who have giyen aid and com fort to the rebel lion, either in the field or in the Cabinet and so well did he succeed, that in the following year no one was elected to the Legislature who would not have con sidered it an unpardonable insult to have been called an Union man. Immediately were seen the consequences.

Odious distinctions wer made in every direction; emancipated slaves were oppressed and justice or right, in the case of a citizen of African, fleacent or of Union principles, in most quarters could not be obtained and this was one reason why loyal men turned their attention to the thought of revoking the Convention of 'C4. He declared that the President's interference in affairs at New Orleans, produced the terrible results of July 30, and that loyal men were fleeing to the North for protection and free speech. He asked for the enfranchisement of the negro, without whose aid he says "the loyal white men of Louisiana cannot recreate a loyal Government. Hon. W.

M. Kelly said he wished to introduce the great and valiant Governor Brownlow. In the course of his re marks he said the present Con- gress was the most patriotic body in the world, and had never been excelled by any but the present Legislature of Tennessee. He further said "If another war comes I want you to divide your arm) into three portions. Let the first and largest come armed with harpoons and do the killing; let the second come with live torches and do the burning let the third come with surveyor's lines and remark out and resettle the country.

These are my sentiments. Washixtox, Sept. 1. Hon. O.

H. Browning was installed Secretary of the Interior and Cornelius Wendell Superintendent of the Public Printing, to-day. Lr. Wendell to-day entered upon the du-tises of the office of Superintendent of Public Printing. Several changes in the subordinate officers of that department have been made.

Rochester, Sept. 1. Fred. Douglass publishes a letter accepting the position as delegate to the Philadelphia Convention from this city, and says "If this Convention shall receive me, the event will be somewhat of significent progress if they reject me, they will only identify themselves with another convention, which from mean motives turned its back upon its true friends." New York, Sept. 1.

Geo. H. Briggs, the paying teller of the Nassau Bank, was arrested on a charge of embezzling $100,000, funds of the bank. He has been in the habit of frequenting aud losing heavily at various gambliug houses throughout the city, and on being arrested made a full confession of his guilt, Percy, the lawyer, who was committed by Judge Barnard for contempt of court, has commenced a suit against the Judge for false imprisonment. The damages are laid at $50,000.

Charles Gibbon received the Southern delegation, and Hamilton, of Texas, responded, at the conclusion of which some one in the crowd called for three groans for the Dead Dog of the White House, which was, responded to with some enthusiasm. The convention is very largely attended. Thomas J. Durant, of New Orleans, was chosen temporary chairman, and committees were appointed, after which adjoined until to-morrow. The city council, by formal resolution, welcomed the delegates to the city, and extended to them the hospitalities thereof.

Eleven cases of cholera and six deaths reported to-day. Buffalo, N. Sept. 3. The President and party were mot to-day by a tremendons crowd.

Yesterday he visited Niagara Falls, but no formalities were observed, separate parties having been formed according to their preference. The President, in company with Secretaries Seward and Welles, spent some time on the American side of the Falls, and afterwards went as far as the Suspension Bridge, but did not cross over. The President is suffering from hoarseness, owing to frequent and long speaking, but in other respects, is in good bodily condition. The expenses of the Presidential tour, so far as transportation and hospitalities are concerned, are defrayed by committees of citizens, at different places, voluntarily.

It is another evidence that the most distinguished statesmen of the country are all one wav of thinkinr S0G Grace Aug.

20, 1SGG. To the Editor of the Enquirer Dear Sir You asked me on Saturday to express to you my views of the proceedings of the Philadelphia Convention. This morning an old friend, who happens to be now in the city, furnished me with a copy of a letter I wrote in March last which, in a single sentence, sets forth rny thoughts as they have been and are on the subject, and I place it at your disposal for what it may be worth. Very Respectfully, 3 0111s, John Tyler, Jk. Richmond, March 26, 1666.

My Dear Sir Iu respect to political matters, I have to say a lew words, that it seems to me, in the line of all history associated with civil convulsions, a reactionary movement has commenced in this countiy, but how long to last, and to what extent to be successful in the restoration of constitutional principle and the resubstantiation of civil libert', time alone can determine. It may, however, be safel3' predicted that it will continue to gather strength, more and more until the present party in the ascendenc" is overthrown. In view of this movement, I should say the wiser course would be to consider all party lines as extinguished for the time being, and to unite together on the same platform all conservative elements belongingto past organizations, in connection with those now associated with the policy of President Johnson. In this manner President Johnson would be enabled to discover the power upon which he could rest his administration, the South would come to occupy a prominent position in the movement as necessity to its success and with Johnson himself as its candidate for the Presidency in 18G8, mil-itaiy precedent and rule would be brought to a termination in the coun-tr3r, and peace and prosperity be restored. I have the honor to Vie, Yours, very truly, John Tyler, Jr.

It ia hard to surrender the objects we cherish moat in life, yet the decree of the Almighty has gone forth Dust thou ai and unto dust thou shalt re turn;" and we must bow with meek submission to His dread alternative. At hcV death, all Nature seemed to be clad in the deepest vestments of mourning. The skies which were wont to diffuse their genial rays of sunshine, assumed for the time, the sable mantle of Death, and shed their gentle tears for the demise of one of earth's loveliest angels. It was a fitting tribute to one in every re.ipeet so preeminently worthy. Possessing a mind so thoroughly stored with all the human virtues graceful in person aud accomplished in all respects, it ia no matter of surprise that a host of sympathizing friends remained steadfastly attached to her.

Every fibre of her being pulsated with unbounded sympathy for the snflferinga of her fellow -creatures. During her last illness extending through a period of more than ten weeks, no murmuring word of complaint escaped her gentle breast With the implicit faith of a child, she quietly folded her arms to sleep to awake amidst the the realities of a happier and bet ter world. Just embarking into life with all the pleasant -surroundings which heart could desire a devoted hus band, happy home, innumerable friends ready to extend appropriate homage it were hard to surrender them all, yet, at Death's bidding, she quietly re-signed her soul into the hands of her Maker. Thus lived thus died she; never more on her Shall sorrow light or pain. She was not made Through years or moons the inner weight to bear, "Which colder hearts endure until they are laid By age in earth." "Death lies on her like an untimely frost fpon the sweetest flower of all the field." Bettie.

"SUMMER VII.LK JXSTITl'TK, iee, lSCo.) Principal Onice 31 ay John P. Morton Co. Gentlemen: I received, about ten days ago, a copy of Towne's Arithmetic, accompanied by a request from you, that I should give the work a careful examination. I havejust finished reading it; and am much pleased with it. If 1 had received it before publishing our course of study for next term, 1 should "have adopted it as the Arithmetic of this institution.

It is mv intention to introduce it after next term, and hope 1 to see it in every school in the country within the next year. Thus. S. Gathright. From Rev.

G. M. Evekhckt, in the Church Intelligencer, Charlotte, X. March 15, 1S06 "Algebra Adapted, etc. AVe are in-depted to the author for a copy of this admirable treatise.

have looked through it with some degree of care, and unhesitatingly pronounce it the best Algebra for schools we ever saw. In years gone by, we taught the Mathematics; and claim still a ritrht to speak for or against Mathematical publicatiohs. We examined the book as a teacher, and not as an editor. The features to which we were most attracted, were 1st The progressive character of the treatise. Xot that everv elementary work on science is otherwise than progressive, but we mean that from the merest rudiments, the author develops each principle bv carrying alon those preceding.

In plain words, every step is so fashioned, that the next is reached from sheer necessity. The pupil is forced up by constantly accumulating principles with which he is made familiar. This is done, by the sim. pie references in connection with every rule, to preceeding truths and demonstrations. The next feature particularly attractive, is the simplicity of language and extrarodinary r.4" .1 'I 1 vicu.ulsui n.

Win. Evelyn, Esq. My Dear Sir: I have examined, at different times, and with considerable care, Towne's Arithmetic, a copy of which you were kind enough to send me in my opinion it ia one of the best school books I have met with. In the arrangement of iu parts, in the clearness of its definitions of general principles, and in the charactar of the examples to illustrate those principles in its admirable rationale in its size, finish, and in all the elements of text Jxiolv. or Arithmetic forlnterme- diate and Grammar Schools, it seems to me to nossess unusual excellence.

Can you inform me if the author designs to prepare a series of text-books on Arithmetic? Witna primary ana second part, caning the present work part third, the series would be 1 I I 1 1 well aaapieu lor use in j. uimo scnoois ol New Orleans ana otner cities. Yours truly, Wm. C. Ryns, Supt.
