Nine deaths from Cholera occnrrcd from the 3d to the 7th iust on the Low-^ ton plantation on Hilton Head island. Mr. Kline and Mr. Farmer, white men, and even negroes were the sufferers. They had communicated with the qnar-! antiucd vessels. We regret to learn that Doctor Hardett, late Post Surgeon ut this place, died of this disease at Tybee island, while attending the sick. He was a noble, w.?rm-henrted gentleman,1 and we deeply sympathise with the be- j reuved family. There were eighteen deaths from cholera in New York on the 8th. jE?~The friends of lien. D.

Louwiaim Politics. Nf.w Oklkans, August 8th. Governor Wells has issued an address to loyal Lotitsianiaua, speuk'.ng in scathing t? rius of theex-Cou'.ederdes; approving the Convention of 18 -4; placing the whole responsibility of the late riot on the M iyrr and police; endorsing negro suffrage and embracing I be Radie.il cause. Th* Washington correnpoudent of the New York Chmi/tercial Advertiser very sensibly declares that it is high time that the practice * of baying flour at $34 p* r barrel, and giving it to the Indians who nise more grain than they can nse, was unt a stop to. An appropriation of $500, WXf was pushed through Congress in January last to feed the destitute Indians in the Sonth west Another appropriation of the same size was stnek in at the lust minnte by Senator Doolittle to the regular Indian Appropriation bill. It has passed the Senate. The fact is that the Iudians, for whom thi*se appropriations are nude, do not get twenty-five per cent, of the amount, and further* more do not need anything.

I We extract the following from the Eh- . ! leigh VN. C.) Stuiulanl. It will l>e rtmem j l>cred that President Johnson, through his Piovisional Governor HolJen, called this Convention together to amend the Constitution to suit the new order of affairs. This Constitution as amended, is the one spoken of by Judge Ruffia. "I consider that this is no Constitution, because you:: Convention was not ? legitimate Convention, and had no |>ower to make u Constitution for ut?, or to alter tnat wnich we had and have; and that it cannot be made a Constitution, even by popul.tr sanction, if these p >sitiuus be correct, it ought to l?e rejected by the people, as the easiest, simplest, and most ; efficient method of setting the points .at | rest, and avoiding many perplexing ami j dangerous questions before the Judiciary i 1 bject to the organization of your body as a Convention, because it was called without the consent of the prOple of North Carolina by the President of | ! the Uuited States, or uuder feu unlers:! an act of clear aud despotic usnrpat.on, which could not give the U>dy any autiiority to bind the State or its inhabitants. If it be said the President, or his satrap?his Governor of a Province?did not call, orj rather constitute the couventiou, bat the delegates were elected by the people, and there the body was duly constituted, I deny it directly and positively. Mr. Johnson require 1 a Convention to perfuriu certain specific acts; to annul the ordinance of sccessiou and tender a return to the Union, or claim its continued existence under the Constitution of the United States; to emancipate the slaves, and ordain that Slavery shall never kerealter exist in this State, and to repudiate the State * war debt" All these were don*; the two first proiujrtIv and in satisfactory terms: and ti?? third, at the last moment, uuder sulw jeecti??n and in conformity to order*, after having once refna d to adopt the rasasarc. All vox done, I say, that i w ui required, and Mr Johnson pr claimed he had got ail he wanted; ha: we w re b .ck as a Stat-, and might ch ose our Representatives in Congress in conformity to oar rights as a State, aud to our la* regulating election* Was there any- | thing more l'dr that Convention to do ? j Were they chosen for ao.v other purpose, eveu by tbqse who were allowed to vote j for members?

We were of opinion that the Southern people had gained wisdoiu in the last few years, and tlamght the News eorr** c in its statement, but since the New Orleans riot our faith is considerably shaktu.
