In this connection, it w ll be interesting to know that President Johnie a'a views rejrardin^ this matter were sometime since put in writing, and were cir culated generally throughout the South, li is therefore probable that similar steps wil! be taken in all the Southern States. Nearly aJI of the United States District Judges are absent from their posts, however, and conse quently the decisions will be delayed for s^me ti tue.

He was found guiity of tho first sp?ci fication, guilty cf the second ezcept R3 to thp word " deter,'" and ''not guilty"' of the third.

TEXAS.-The following is an extract from a private letter written from Galveston, Texas, September 12, 1867. by General J. Warren JBell, special agent, Treasury Department: " As to this city, there is no language ade quate <0 describe the fearful reality. Septem li :r is destined to prove its extreme results. Yesterday, and the; day previous, each thirty two deaths from yellow fever, and to-day, with tho wind from the South, which to tho afilie t *d brings not healing, but death on its wings, a large number of the thousands ?ho are sick must die. It is said that over five thousands persons have had the disease, an 1 thai there nc no day now when there is not?t least til te:u hundred pick. The city is really 'a place of sickness ai_d death.' There is nothing ?nore appalling than thc condition of things herc. ?he groins of the dying on thc bat ? Ic held are not more agonizing thau the moauings of the sick aud dying here. It is dimply impossible to give a correct idea, and equally impossible for the medical and chai i tibie associations to render auything like the necessary attention to the sick aud dyiog. The Howard Association, the Charity Hospi tals, the Masons and Odd Fellows have ex hausted treasure, time, and energy, and are now almost at their wits end. Aid cannot come with requisite i-peed-sympathy ic use less unacompanied with material aid. Nurs ing and attention are far more necessary, and fraught with morebenificial results than even the pby8icioan's skill. Remittances to the Howard Association will be received with weeping gratitude by the suffering and their friends. Something must be done immedi ately fer relief. Stores heve been closed for weeks with none to furnish tua reedy. Many who have means have offered ali il>t: netting and attention, while many who have nothing die for want of attention. A new cemetery, just opened, is already crowded, and the city of Galveston is doomed, with no hope for ac tual relief until cold weather, which in this Jatitude is in November or later. Way the kindly dijposed, who bare abundance, give of their means. It will be casting 'bread upon the waters,' end 'after many days' they may'find it.' " THE EPIDEMIC IS NEW ORLEANS.-A letter to the New York Journal of Commerce, dated New Orlean?, Sept?'mber 23, says : The fever ii rapidly on the increase. The city is a vast hospital. It in believed that there are It?,?0O cases now under treatment. You hear of it everywhere and in almost eve ry house. It is in-all of our crowded orphan asylums. The good sisters are stricken down. Committees are going through the streets begging for them. Language fails to depict the misery and distress existing here. We are truly an afflicted people. Wo shall re quire all tho aid frc can obtain from our Northern friends. Business is, of course, se riously affected by the state of things-non ?o?ercourse with thc country, no collections, x-otton coming in very BIOW."

Gold .Mines of Edgetteld. Mit. EDITOR : Possibly a few parsing re marks on the (Jeld Mmes of Sleepy Creek, culled from my field rotes, may interest some of your readers. The different mines of this vicinity aw so similar and 30 closely connected as ty locality, that it will be most convenient to describe them under the head of thc Sleepy Crepk Mines, tba.i to separate them according to the various proprietors. The chief mining operations have been car ried on at the Gold Spriug Minc, and latterly also at the immediately adj nning mine of Col. John Quattlebaum. There consequently more mav be learned of thc peculiir occurrence than would be observed at other points. At first the distribution of the veins ii ex ceedingly perplexing; for they are seen strik ing and dipping in every possible direction, sometimes perfectly horizontal, then curving like a saddle, then again vertical-here swel ling to a diameter ol' several fee', tbere ap.ain ibiuning out to a mero thread-now eui ting straight acrosj tue slate country rock, or now again couformiug to the strike or direction of the latter. An examination of the large workable veins alone, leave us therefore with out any satisfactory conclusions as to the true mode of occurrence, and we must turn to the miuor veins for an explanation.. Tiiese are the models. We may inspect them withoul fear of the obscuring effects of greater bulk, and the solution is then an easy one. The country rock (tbe rock traversed) of these veins is an argillaceous slate-some times so little altered as still to merit the term of a true ?/ta'r. This rock is exceed ingly fissile. Crevices have consequently formed in all directions, curving and ramify ing through the slate in every conceivable manner. Some of these fissures, more imme diately, dependent upon thc same powerful loicc?, to which the Alleghanie3 and all their parallel ridges owe their origin, were extended downwards to a sufficient depth to become channels f~r the^o solutions which contained the materials now filling the space of the crevices. The lateral clefts conducted off portions of these solutions ; so that, in reality, notwithstanding the apparently anomalous character , of these veins, their origin is the stine ?u that of all persistent veins. The solutions referred to brought up silica and copper. The gold is probably due to the country rock. These mines show in a very clear manner that the latter metal can not be infused by the chlori'.ic soapstone dykes, which so abound ; for while the selvages of these, or rather the slate along their selvages, may be profitably worked for gold, the mass itself contains not a trace. But this is a dis cussion not likely to interest many of your readers. The m'ijoriiy of vjtins yisible at the surface have a northwesterly strike, but those of a northeasterly or east and west strike are more likely to be permanent in depth, although it is quite possible that the m?gt important and reliable of the latter are covered up and do not show at the surface. With a view to de termining thia important question, Col. Quat tlebaum is now driving atunnel into the base of the hill. Should ihe present ono not b . favored with satisfactory results, anoiher. drive:; at right angles to it, would scarcely fail to be conclusive. Thes : veins will undoubtedly a' sime future period l/jcome more remunerative for copper than for gold ; but j.n the meantime-a period by no means confined-th?y will be a'c'e to furnish a valuable supply of tue latter metal. This is indeed liberally diffused through thc vein stone, and some of the choice samples yielded pannings equal to the very best which I have as yet seen in our State. The vein ?lone of some of the veins average about $1.00 per bushel, of others ?0.75. OI hers again yield a Jess average, but still may furnish much valuable ore. Thc gold is exceedingly fine. Indeed there is but cue mine, with which I am acquainted, which has u purer tjold (the Brewer mine iu Chesterfield,) and that only exceeds this by 40-100 of a cent the pennyweight. Two assays made at the Dahlonega mint, gave a fineness of 980 and 1588. or a value of }00x99-100 cents, and 91.01x59-100 cents per pennyweight respec tively. Regular work has barely been com menced ai yet, but judging from that E^hieh we now see, it is a f;ober and reasonable ex pectation to anticipate the happiest results. Yours, respectfully, OSCAR M.

I remember, gracefully, how kindly I wai received and encouraged, in my youth, by your Jeter, Butler, Brooks, Grifliu, Wardlaw, Wim bi.-h, Wigfall and Bauskelt, to you, frtmiii ir and honored .names. It will be difficult to find, any where, buoh a combination of virtue, talent and professional distinction, as is presented iu ibis bright array of-my Seniors. All, but one. are in tho filent grave. I trust the cxi.mplo of lofty courtesy and liberal practice, for which ther-e high men were distinguished, and wh?ch secured for this Bar a reputation so enviable, ha? left hs im press und boen followod by their successors. Gentlemen nf the Bar: Let not misfortune and suffering lower the standards of our noble profession. Of my eo Lamporarics, it is not necessary to say any thing to you. The country has appreciated their tal siits nnd services, by awarding them its hlgbost political and professional honors. I need only, point to the Army Roll, to show my Juuiors standing side by sida ou thal list of Pa triot name?, and comparing proudly with the tn-ist gallant and devoted defenders of our holy md lost cause. Well may your District be proud )f this Record. Gentlemen of thr Grand and Petit Jurie? : I Sod myself placed in a very embarrassing position. Anxioua to perform my duty, to do all in my power to restore Civil Law, nnd to bring the State into peaceful relations with the Govern ment, under the Constitution and Laws of the Union, I am confronted by General Orders No. S9 and uiy official oaths. The one commands mc as follows : HEADQUARTERS 2n MILITARY DISTRICT., CHARLESTON, S. C., Sop1 1 ISn7.

The Governors of North nnd South Carolina, ?cspcctivcly, are hereby authorized and empow :red to order, if it should bo necessary, special :erma of courts, to bo held for the purpose ?d' ?cv'rsing and preparing jury lifts, and to provide "or summoning and drawing jurors in accordance .villi the requirements of this order.

If in obeying tho Order, I am not 1 discharging the dutiei of my office"-do not 1 preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of hi? State and that of thc United Staten," and do lot "carry into due and faithful execution the let of the General Aisembly. commonly called the rury Laxo," I will bo guilty of violating these oleum obligations. As this question addresses itsejf to the con cieuce of each public officer, who is embraced in be Order, and is horoby personal, of course, each mst decido for himself; and my individual jdgment will in no wise effect any other officer 'ho raiy come to a different conclusion. Believing, as I do, that the present Congress ? an usurping body, and that its attacks upon the o-ordinato Departments of Government, and the 'nited States and Stato Constitutions, are fust educing tho country to tho condition of Party asstlage, I cannot retain my solf-rospect, con cicntiously perform the obligations of my oaths f office, and lend my aid to support and per etuate tb.c tyranny of which wo complain.

Many years ago from 1 ?,U?0 t" 20,00(1 bugs of cotton wero forwarded from Aiken. Thorc were ia thoso days large ware houses in Aiken for tho storage of cotton, and its streets resounded with thc tinkling bolls of hun dreds of teams bringing the S tuple from distant point?. But in thc great financial revulsion of 1837, those bonnes engoged in tho cotton trade in Aiken were swept r.way in the general tornado. Siuce then, 'he superior facilities afforded hy (he South Carolina Railroad at it; termini have con centrated the trade at thosn points.

These merchants have made arrangements with sume of the largest and most reliable Cotton Houses in Charleston, and are now prepared to forward Cotton for their friends on the most ad vantageous conditions.

Six months ago, in uar extremo desirefor peace and reconciliation, wc wrote: "As at present ad vised, it soetna to us that our policy is not only to have a Convention, but, if possible to control that Convention ; ond we can do so only by en tering the Hats with energy and zeal, and an honest purposo to promote the practical welfare of the State." Some weeka later, we wrote: "The uncertain ties, dflieulties, and delicacies of the position, are such, that it is with fear and trembling wo offer our readers any definite, positivo, and em phatic advice; except aa to two things, viz: en tire obedience to tho military government, and universal registration of all who shall ba allowed so to do. 3y. the time the election is ordered, we shall perhaps have more light, and know bet ter what to do." In the meantime, everr Southern man has had abundant light, and has clearly seen that the ob ject of the authors of the Military Bills, as proved by the manner in which their satraps have en forced them, is the subordination of the white to tho black race in the South, and, by m-ans of this, the perpetuation of Radical power. And truth, honor and honesty compel us to deliberate ly advise every man to cast his ballot and his influence against a Convention. Or what is better, cast his influonco against a Convention and his v..te, HS regardi thu question, not at all. Setting aside every other consideration, even the lofty one of maintaining, through woe and weal, the principles of tho Constitution, thc matter nf univorsal negro suffrage is alone qnite euffirient to deter any sound Southern or Northern Conscr 'votive from advising otherwise. That Constitu tion guarantees to each State the right to control the matter of suffrage within its own limits. Thetefore, let not the South becomo responsible by her own act for so revolutionary a change in the government which was framed by cur fathers. Every intelligent ruader will readily recollect thc frequent assurances mado by Congress that the only object of the war waa to crush the " re bellion," and secure allegiance to tho govern ment, obedienco to thc Constitution and laws-the reconciliation into a common nationality of a lund torn by civil dissension and bloody war. Rut upon the end of that war, and after the de feated party had thoroughly and honorably sur rendered, instead of summoning their country men of the South to the equal assumption of a common trait, thc mouths of tho leaders of the faction that essay to control the Union, are full ol bitterness nnd denunciation, and tho time of the nition M consumed in angry wrangling over the question how much shall we'hold back from those ciiunirymen lest (boy do us barm in thc future. ?pies arc sent out to canvass the whole South, to hunt up and exuggerato c?se- of misrule and fal* justice, and, with any amount of falsehood, report thom to Congress as pretexts for oppressing the Southern people. And this the people of thc North and West, os evinced in late elections, aro beginning to realize ; they are beginning to rebuke their representatives T'ho have spent months in arguing, discussing and disputing, and whoa? highest achievement to-day i.i a project that overthrows civil authority io ten States, and places their peoplo under the rule of tho bayonet and tho negro-thus developing the Radical ?dca nf a republican form of government. And regarding these Military Bills, do they hold out Hny reliable prospect of the restoration of tho Southern States ? A ealm examination of the bills aud thotnotivcia and declarations of those ?tho passed them, compolls a negative response. They do not moon, and none of their manipula tors understand them ts mean, that tho Southern Stat?? aro to bo admitted under thc provision; between this time and th? next Prosidontial elec tion. It is the fixed purposo of those in power to exclude the Southern ? tates from any participa lion in that eloction. These bills Ignore the Constitution for one third of the Union. No man's (?resido is free from the intrusive tread of the military. No man's prop erty it exempt from its usurpations. Freo speech is a mockery. Every intelligent friend of civil liberty will therefore tum with scorn and loathing from the tyrannical ind abomioablo mcasuros which Congress bas framed for the enslavement 9nd destruction of tho South. Tho only terms upon wt.?ch tue Soutb is offered a. rotease from thraldom are the voluntary disfranchisement of thousands of ber purest and ablest citizens, the -luv.ition of the whole negro raes to a political equality with (be white, which it outnumbers in many places, and the formation of such Statu Constitutions as tho Radical party may bc pion ?od to approve. But tho mass of tho people of the South have too ranch i-olf-re.'p'ict, we verily be lieve to voluntarily comply with dictated of the conquering section which involve the sacrifice of ] all thntis left them of liberty and honor. They will not endorse a plan of reconstruction which wields the sword in one hand and negro suffrage in the other, however plausibly p?*B*n?. Moreover, thoy must know perfectly well that Congress intends, if it can, either with or without their content, to sot up State governments in the South which are to represent and be controlled by the blacks and a paltry minority of the whites; nnd that these governments aro to bo the agencies through which tho Radical party cxp?cts to de spoil and punish the Southern peoplo. They must know that under no state of circumstances doe Congress intend to reatoro to tho majority of their people the unobstructed right of solf-Rovcrntuont, md that no aelf-bumiliation on their part can purchase it. Thoy must know that if they dis franchise their leading men and allow nil the ne groes to vote, they might form in each State wenty consecutive Constitutions, but that Con gress would '"cept none but such as might con ide the destinies of tho State to somo scoundrel iko Brownlow. They havo nothing then to gain >y closing with, and nothing to loso by rejecting ho falso and shameful offers now tendcrod them, rho Constitution is for the present doad, and ne jro suffrage can never resuscitate it in the South. Nothing is left to tho people of our own race and ilood in ten overthrown States save to ?offer with trent, und unflinching courage whatsoever military lespotism or anarchy may Au re fit ?tore for them, ind aicait the certain suhsidenct of- th? revolution try storm that kat prostrated t^t ftfUt\lic, ---t-?r* Our Agricultural Exchanges.

The servant thougl nothing of it, and continued her work. In few minutes the child again besought bert go'right out, for the snake wa? hissing s " sissy.'3 The girl went out, andwasatruc speechless and made to grow pale. On tb brick walk near tbe front gate sat tbe littl child, laughing at and patting a huge snak on thc head! The snake was coiled up lik aspirai spring, and, with elevated bead am protruding fangs, was allowing the child t play with it. It was a blacki-h monster streaked and spotted with gray. Who tbe child would cease patting it, tbe soak would ?trike at the little one's band, an stiffen a? prepariug to jump at tbe child Then (he little ono would tap its head, ant it would lower its head and remain passive The servant stood a moment unable to say t word. At last she shrieked fur I he mother who came'out. Sir? also was seized wit!; terror, but waited only a second before she seined hi!r child and bore it away. A lad} next door, alarmed by tbe servant girl's cries hod now arrived upon the scene. Before the ?'ake uncoiled iu?elf, she threw a brick at it, which struck upon its heid and stunned it, A mau who was passinir by then killed the Bnako. It measured thirty-eight inches in length, was of the kind known as the house adder, Ute bite or sting of which is said tobe terribly poisonous.

COLORED CHILDREN EJECTED FHOM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN BUFFALO.-For a time past a degree of excitement bas been occa sioned in some of the public schools on ac count of the fact that a number of colored children insisted upon attending, and remain ed, despite the ettorta of the teachers to com pel them, ta leayo. tyeoently, a petition by colored poople, asking permission to send their children to other schooli than that set apart for them, was referred to the Common Council Committeo on Schools t thc commit tee reported that the Council had no authori ty to grant the permission asked, and the re port waa adopted. Notwithstanding this ac tion, thc parents of the children continued to send them to the schools, and yejiterday Su perintendent Fostick went to Districts Nos. ll and 12, and ordered the colored children lo leave. This they refused to do, when they ?vero ejected. This morning tho colored chil dren in No. 32 were also ejected by the Su jerintenclent. It is understood that Mr. Fos lick has adopted this course in pursuance of :bo action of the Council, and it is rumored hat tho parties considering themselves ag grieved, threatened to have him arrested and trraigned before thc United States Court un lerthe Civil Rights Bill.
