[Great ap? plause.] PHILADELPHIA, September 7.-There was an exciting debate in the Radical Conven? tion to-day, on the address reported by tho Committee on the Reconstructed States. There were scenes of tho wildest excite? ment, showing that the reconstructed dele? gates were moro bitter and antagonistic than before tho border States retired. Many of tho delegates left this morning, leaving the Convention almost entirely in the hands of the friends of negro suffrage. The Committee on Address were almost unanimous against negro suffrage; whilst that on resolutions showed ten in opposi? tion to five in favor. The delegate .. who were in favor of negro suffrage were invited to step to the Secretary's desk and sign what waa called the charter of universal freedom. Resolutions wore offered and adopted in favor of a subscription for the publication of tho proceedings; of sympa? thy for Dostie and New Orleans; of thanks to the loyal citizens of Philadelphia, and for the presentation of expensively bound volumes of the proceedings of the Conven? tion to Anna Dickinson, Fred. Douglass and Theo. Til ton. After some other pro? ceedings, -tho Convention adjourned sine die. Market Reports. MOBILE, September 6.-Sales to-day 15 , bales cotton-middling nominally 30.

To the Editor of the World. SIR: I most unwillingly leave th? retirement and obscurity which old age and circumstances have provided; but a remark in your paper of ' the 13th seems to demand it. A writer, signed "S," replying to an article in Harper's Magazine, for August, intro? duces my name in these words: 4'This must refer to Alfred Huger, for many years postmaster afc Charles? ton." &c, &c. I turn to the Maga? zine, and, to my surprise, find a con? tributor whose purpose and motive it is not my business to define, making capital out of so barren a subject as myself. Beginning with the "Burn? ing of Columbia," and the abuse of Gen. Hampton, he says: "Among others to whom I was sent to give as? sistance, was Mr. Huger, a well known citizen of South Carolina," and then recounts an elaborate con? versation about a band of thieves, calling themselves Wheeler's cavalry, &c., and in another part of his narra? tive writes: "When tho citizens of Columbia begin their investigations of tho burning of that city, and the pillaging of houses and robbing of citizens, let them not forget to take the evidence of Mr. Huger." I am thus put on tho stand without being consulted, and shall commence by saying that if this individual or any other was ever "sent" to my ".assist? ance," the mission has been strangely disregarded. I never saw any such person as he claims to be, though I was au eye-witness to the burning of j Columbia. I never had any such in I tercourse with any human being in Gen. Sherman's army, or out of it; ? and if investigations are made, and the evidence of Mr. Huger is called for, I shall, with a deep consciousness of what is duo to truth, say that, before Almighty God, all that I saw, I all that I .heard, all that I suffered, all that I believe, is in direct opposi? tion to what is affirmed by the writer for Harper's Magazine, and for which he quotes Mr. linger as a portion of Miis authority; and I ask leave to add, I after maturely reflecting upon the j events of that fearful night, when every feeling of humanity seemed to be obliterated, if my "well being" here and hereafter depended on the accuracy of my statement, I would say that the precision, order, method, and discipline which prevailed from the entrance of the Federal army tc its departure, could only emanate from military authority. How could I come to any otha conclusion, with the fact, regard?e I as indisputable, that the city wai doomed before it was taken? and that as tho tragedy progressed, everybody saw the programme carried out, a they had previously expected? or hov am I to believe my own senses whei an individual, pretending to bo ai officer, talks of burning tho city pillaging houses, robbing citizens &c., as if "these" were unfoundet charges? Why, sir, I never suppos?e I was dealt with more hardly thai others, because I know that th "plunder" was universal. Yet Mr Huger, who is to bear witness fo one who was sent to assist him, nov declares "that he was merciless], robbed; that his person was ruth lessly violated ; that food wns takei away from his orphan children, an> that bis family were brutally insult ed by well-mounted and well-armei men in the uniform of the Uuitei States!" For aught I know, it ma be usual or even necesssary to gran this license; while the denial is equal! absurd and wicked, and the attemp to implicate other people is tho coi: summation of both! But this is th end that such things come to, an the natural consequence of cullin witnesses to prove what the witnesse themselves knew to be false. I sa1 those who were apparently plyin their vocation deliberately set lire t houses, carrying with them combiii tibie preparations for doing so. C j the effort made to prevent them I sa nothing, because I saw nothing. 3 It gratifies me, however, to relat this instance of kindness. My owi house was about to bo destroyed b tho firing of an adjoining building There were two Western men lookin on-soldiers in the true sense of th word. I asked ono of them-(thei names were Elliott and Goodmai one from Indiana, the other froi Iowa,) "Have you a family u home?"' He answered "Yes." I sai to him, "My family are ill in th? room; have you no thought of you own?" The man showed that he hn a heart, and as the incendiary move off to other objects, ho did assist mi without being "sent," and, with ni servants and tho only child I had bi enough to "hand a bucket," we save tho house, with its helpless inmate thanks to this Good Samaritan. My conviction is that Columbia w: cruelly and uselessly sacked and buri ed, without resistance, after being i complete possession of Gen. She man's army ; but who gave tho ' 'ordei to apply tho torch, is not for tho vi tims either to know or locare. Hm dreds of helpless women andchildrc were turned out to their fate, lt tho historian's business to lind ev dence to meet the case, not mine, ni my voice would nev?r have been hem had I not been unjustly dragged b fore the public. Tho truth, and tl whole truth, will probably never a pear; but it is "reeorded in the hie chancery of Heaven, where no hu? man power can make the erasure."" Mr. Editor, I crave your patience a little longer, and beg your attention to the first sentence in the article of which I complain. It reads thus : . 'If Mr. Wade Hampton is anxious to add a deeper shame to a dishonored name, he has attained that end by his renewed attempts to hold Gen. Sherman responsible for the burning of Columbia and its terrible conse? quences," &c. Now, sir, I speak for every honest man between the moun? tains and the sea-coast, and between the Savannah Eiver and the Pee Dee, when I say, "II this opinion and this epithet are not equally revolting and insulting, then the common sensibili? ties of nature are made extinct by the sufferings we have endured." If "Hampton" is a "dishonored name," there is none within the limits of this down-trodden and persecuted State that can be considered as unsullied. Here in South Carolina, and through? out the South, every human being feels that where the name of Hamp? ton is best known it is most revered, and he who bears it is the most be? loved. Before the present incumbent saw the light, that name was identi? fied with all that is brave, and honor? able, and generous. What a noble sire (who emphatically and habitually "did the honors" of his native State) ha3 left impressed upon the hearts of his countrymen as a legacy to his children, thia slandered Mr. Wade Hampton, late Lieutenant-General of the Confederate army, will transmit to another generation bright and un? tarnished. If there is one among us more cherished than the rest, it is he upon whom this gratuitous assault is so brutally, and yet so feebly, made. And if to-day or to-morrow a canvass should be opened for our "represen? tative man," to fill tho highest office in the gift of a heart-broken but grateful people, none could be found strong enough to compete with him for their favor. And it would be untrue to the living and the dead if such were not the unanimous deci? sion. I have said that the historian must find evidence as to the burning of Columbia, and he will find it. The j foolish attempt to hold Hampton re- ! sponsible is beyond the tether of his last calumniator, *aud is hardly worthy of a serious refutation. These few questions, when they are asked, will be found difficult to answer. Where was Hampton, when the conflagra? tion began to take its regular course, at S o'clock at night? Did tho cotton which was burning at the East end of Main street travel against a gale of wind to the extreme West, more than a milo off? Was it not there aud then that wo were called on to perceive that our doom was sealed? Why talk of putting out the fire in a church? yard, when it is notorious that the sac? ramental silver belonging to the altar was stolen, and I think subsequently given up? Did Hampton burn the country-seats surrounding Columbia, leaving his kith and kindred without a shelter? Did he burn every farm house on the way-side and away from tho way-side-every grist mill and flour mill? Did he burn Camden, aud Winnsboro, and Cheraw? Was the quantity of silver plato taken from the citizens of Columbia sold for Hampton's benefit in Now York and elsewhere? Is it tho necessary pro? vince of war to obliterate all mercy and all shame? But enough. When tho Searcher of Hearts commences his "investigations," Hampton will be found entrenched by truth-sur? rounded by that strength which "prosperity and victory" cannot give, and which "adversity and malignity" cannot take away. ' Mr. Editor, we are doing our best, with Heaven's help, to have a country once more. North, South, East and West are. enlisted in this holy enter? prise. All have joined hands in this sacred work, and a Chief Magistrate, distinguished for bis high sense of duty, aud for his inflexible courage j in its performance,* wisely tells us, "if we cannot forget tho past, we can never have a future;" and standing as I do, almost in sight of tho grave, among the oldest meu in the Stato that gave me birth, I will say "amen" to their sentiment. Lot tho past bo forgotten, if such is possible; at any rate, let it not be referred to, if the object is "peace" and tho "hope" is in the future. I am, very respectfully, your obe? dient servant, ALFRED HUGER. Every successful movement upon the chcoo boord of politics which is made by the conservative party is at once imitated by the radicals. Thus a convention of conservativo states? men at Philadelphia is followed by a gathering of black and white radical revolutionists, hybrids and mongrels at the same place. Tho fighting gen? erals of the Union armies call a con? vention at Cleveland, and straightway Butler and Schenck try their hands at Pittsburg. Tho President, sup? ported on the right and left by Grant and Farragut, having commenced a most successful tour, wo think that Thaddeus Stevens, accompanied by Forney and Inquisitor Miles, should at once start upon an opposition ex? cursion. We think such an exhibi? tion of Gorillas, with Barnum in charge of the "hanimals," would al? most, liquidate tho national debt^u a couple of months.-RicJimond Times. Tho corner stone of what is styled a "Spect?Culum" has boen placed iu New York. It is only a museum don't be frightened. The agents and managers of two gift concerts, one for the benefit of the suffering poor of Alabama, the other for the Home of Southern Sol? diers of Tennessee, have been arrest? ed for violation of the Kentucky lot? tery laws. Capt. Wydman, of Cin? cinnati, was sent to the work-house, in default of $3,000 bail. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.-A consi? derable sensation has been created in mechanical circles by the recent dis? covery of Mr. Robert Heneage, of Buffalo, that sheet-iron will serve for belting in place of India rubber or leather. The Governors of Wisconsin, Min? nesota and Missouri have accepted invitations to be ni Chicago to par? ticipate in the Douglas Monument ceremonies, and will bo accompanied by their respective staffs. A gentleman, who has been through the Southern tier .of counties in Iowa, reports that the crops have been materially damaged by the drought. The same is true in many counties in North-west Missouri. The radicals of Chicago are so in? censed at President Johnson, that some were not wanting to urge the postponement of the ceremonies con? nected with laying the corner-stone of the Douglas monument. A Salt Lake paper, noticing the death of a Mormon Bishop, adds: 1 'He was thirty-seven years old, and leaves an interesting family of eleven wives and forty-seven children to mourn his death."

The pressure upon every vital organ is never so e,rer.t as in the second and third months of summer, and common sense teaches us that these organs require to be reinforced to meet it.
