The correspondent of the Balti? more Sun writes:" Large numbers of Southern, gen? tlemen, delegates to thc Philadelphia Convention, are daily arriving hero. They represent a good state of feel ing in tho South, and a generid anxiety that the Philadelphia Con? vention shaU be the means of bring? ing the two sections to a better un? derstanding of , each other. The Southern delegates all express a-dis? position, to go into the Convention solely for the purpose of harmoniz? ing the conflicting -clements in the couutry. They have no demands to make, and are ready to accept any reasonable platform having any claims to imtionnTity in its character. They expect an unqualified endorse? ment of the policy hitherto pursued by the President, and will be satis? fied should nothiug elso be adopted. A prominent radical member of tho Louisiana Convention of 1,801 ha" been here, who states that he declined to attend tho recently-called Conven? tion on account of its revolutionary character and purposes. Full inves? tigation will show that the true Union men of Louisiana discountenanced and resisted the plot for subjecting the State to radical rule. Tho radicals have a plan on root for creating a negro riot in Macon, Ga. Tho radical organs allego that it will I be commenced by rebel assaults On I the negroes Probably, therefore, it' i is intended to inerte the negroes to j attack the whites. The speech of Senator Doolittle upon the question of qualifications of delegates to the Philadelphia Con I vention probably settles that matter. Any ono may be received who con? curs in tho principles of the call for the Convention. But no radical would subscribe to the several de? clarations of that call. Mr. Vallan digham would not hesitate to sub? scribe to it; and, therefore, it may be presumed that he will be admit? ted. .Mr. Yallandigham's xeecnt-let ter proposes to throw tho mantle of oblivion upon past diff?rences. After the country is saved, then, he says, j parties may strive for the mastery. Tito radicals are ashamed of the venality and cupidity exhibited by their representatives in Congress. The salary grab they consider a blun? der, in a political point of view. It will cost the party thousands of votes. The Congress leaders are trying to shuffle out of the matter-the Senate throwing it on the House, and the House on the Senate. The fact, is, that the bounty bill and the salary? ing! wen; fixed up by the conference committee, under the special ageuoy of members who wanted some pre? text, for being forced to take the spoils. The Elect ritual Instruments on UoarU (lit- Great Eastern. Tb?- extremely delicate electrical instruments on board have only been brought to their present perfection by slow degrees. Heavy mirrors of accurately-gronnd plate-glass, or of polished steel, suspended by strong! bundles of silk fibre, wore first used in Germany for magnetic and electro-! magnetic experiments, having been j introduced probably first by a great mathematician Gauss. The image of I a divided scale from one of these mirrors was viewed through a tele scope to observe; deflections. The indicating ray of light giving J an accnrately-focussed lino or spot of light to read deflections on a fixed seale, was first introduced by Prof. Thomson, in 1858. The telescope! would not answer well for telegraphic ? use. These instruments wore much slower in their indications than sim pie suspended needles, because of the groat weight of the magnets and j mirrors used in them, amounting sometimes to thirty or forty pounds, and never to loss than several hun? dred grains. Joule, of Manchester, brewer and amateur of science, the founder of the modern dynamical theory of heat, first introduced very ! light needles, hung by single silk fibres, for galvanometers, and thus got comparatively quick indications. Some of his needles were only one quarter of au inch long, and to get j visible indications of their deflec? tions he attached very light glass bars (three or four inches long) to thom. lu 1858, rinding that the instru? ments which had been made for the Atlantic Telegraph Company gave only one word a minute instead of seven, as had been promised, Profes? sor Thomson introduced a very light mirror as indicator. The mirror was only three-eighths of an inch in dia? meter, and of thin microscopic glass, silvered; it only weighed about a grain. This was infinitely quicker than any mirror galvanometer that had ever boon made, aed several times quicker than Joule's light needles with glass pointers. By it, signalling at the rate of four words a minute was performed through 2,000 miles or moro of coiled cable at Keyham, be? fore t!it; expedition started in 1858. ! When the cable was laid, and had become so defective in insulation that UO signals at all could be had through any of the other instruments that had been supplied, messages were received daily at each ead at rates of from one and a half to two and a half words per minute.

At a time when the ministrations of peace bless the inhabitants of the other Southern States, Missouri, alone, seems chronically given over to th? rule of law-breakers and ma? rauders. Although the State is pos? sessed of a Governor and other State officers, crime is allowed to go un? punished, because, as it too frequent? ly happens, the crime is committed in the interests of the party to which these officials belong. The partisan knife and pistol aro never idle in Missouri. They may play their oc? casional parts elsewhero in tho daily lives of men, but in Missouri they furnish food for inquests as a matter of course. Nor is their exercise con? fined, as might be supposed, to po? litical occasions in which the passions of men are aroused, but even thc peaceful avocation of the clergy is followed up with the assassin's malice and hate. A case in point occurred in Webster County the other day. A minister of the Methodist Church South, the Rev. Samuel 13. Headlee, was murdered on the 28th ultimo by radical emissaries, under circum? stances peculiarly atrocious. It ap? pears -that the reverend gentleman (whose offence, probably, consisted in not having taken the radical test oath) had an appointment to organ? ize a church in Webster County, on the 28th and 29th of July. Threats were made that if ho preached there, he would never preach again. The 28th day of July came, and Mr. Headlee, in fulfillment of Iris appoint? ment, appeared at the designated spot, a large congregation being pre? sent to hear him. In the assemblage appeared, also, twenty armed men, drawn there for the purpose of mur? der. These men were headed by al member of the Northern Methodist j Church, and threatened violence in case Mr. Headlee preached. Final? ly, in order 'to give no shadow ot' excuse to these villains in their bloody I designs, Mr. Headlee asked if they j would disturb the meeting if he and j his friends should go away from the I chosen locality and hold service on | his own land, which lay near by. What followed is told by one who reports the affair. It is a very simple narrative, but it is, nt thc sanie timo, a graphic picture of clime and law? lessness: "They said they would not molest him. Tho preacher and those that went to hear him then started oil". When they had gone about half a mile, some of the armed men came galloping np. One of them drew a revolver and shot the preacher throe times. Two of the balls entered his body, the other his arm. He lived until 10 o'clock that night. Then, after giving his wife and friends his dying counsel, and, like Stephen, praying for his murderers, ho calmly fell asleep." Tho above is simply a reflex of events that occur too often in Mis? souri. The question is, how long will they last?-New York News. SALE OF UNCLAIMED PACKAGES.- ! Tho sale of packages remaining un- . claimed in tho office of tho Adams' ! Express. Company, which began yes? terday, though not as large as the one held some months since, attracted numerous buyers, and the excitement and novelty of the sale caused many articles to run up to a pretty high figure, though good bargains were frequently made. Many ludicrous scenes occurred in consequence of a spirit of rivalry to obtain particular packages, which, on being opened, revealed to the gaze of tho highest bidder the mouldering remnants of a lunch, which consisted originally of pies, cakes, cheese and red herrings, intended for the nourishment of some soldier fed on short rations, who has ' long since been mustered out and re? turned to tho home whence the kindly offering came. An occasional bargain stimulated competition, and disap? pointed purchasers only laughed at bad luck, and repeated the hazard, j A lottery office could hardly present | amore animated scene, though the prizes to be drawn should represent fortunes, and the owner of a capital prize could be scarcely more elated ! than the gentleman who, yesterday, j had knocked off to him a package of j hoop-skirts for twenty-five cents. A lively competition sprang up over a box that was thought to contain ci- ; gars, which, on being opened, was found to contain the usual musty i lunch and a-quantity of equally musty tobacco. In another instance, a bun? dle that presented by no means an inviting exterior, and which brought but thirty cents, was found to contain a very good suit of clothes and a pair of sleeve-buttons worth ??5. The sale will continue at McGuire's until the lot is sold out. j [Notional Intelligencer. ; CRIMINAL IMPERTINENCE. -A few days ago, the President of the United States forwarded to the Hon. William F. Johnston, ex-Governor of Penn? sylvania, a commission as collector of the port of Philadelpb'' By radical collusion in the Philadelphia post ] office, the lotter was delivered to a sub? ordinate in the Philadelphia custom- ! house, named Wiilinm F.

' This tool of tho radical collector, , with a full knowledge for whom the letter and commission were intended, ? opened the letter and replied to it in j a scurrilous communication through a Philadelphia paper.

CALISM.-The distinguished Major Genernl Slocum, -who is spoken of ns Secretary of War, after Mr. Stanton, ?wrote a letter in reply to an invita? tion to attend the Soldiers' Conven? tion in Pennsylvania, from which wc make tho following extract : "There exists among us a political party, which, fo" the purpose of re? taining power, has prevented the complete restoration of the Union, which we understand to be the sole object of the war; a party which would hold a portion of tho States in subjugation, teaching the rising gene? ration in both sections lessons of jealousy and hatred, instead of seek? ing to make them forget tho bitter past, and become, as they must be? come-if our Union is ever to be of value-ono people in interest and feeling.
