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.

Unhappy Missouri.
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

"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

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
