The Mississippi Militia.

A jackson (Miss.) correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing in the inter.
est of Gov. sHARKEr, says:
al do not approhend any serious collision
between Federal and State troops. believe
the latter will not rally in sufficient numbers
to effect any considerable results. If any
people are tired Of war, It Is the defeated and
demoralised people of the South. The Gov.
ernor's proclamation has now been out three
weeks, and only three companies have re-
ported to him-one In YaEoo county, one in
Holmes, and one In Bolivar. The Governor
is fully alive to the extreme importance of
selecting proper men to command these COM
panies. He has not yet issued any commits
sion, nor will he until he receives most salts
factory evidence, through parties known to
himself, that tho proposed officers are sober
minded, discreet, and reliable men. He will
use special diligence to exclude all who might
be inclined to peryert such organization into
negro-hunters, and If they use their energies'
solely for tho purpose Of oyertaking white
robbers and jayhawkers, no one at the North,
surely, will utter any complaint"

The Department Of State received the fol-
lowing from the United States Consul at Con-
stantinople:
CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES,
CoxsTASTISOPLR, August q, 1868.
Hon. W. H. Sstoand, Secretary If state:
Sir: have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of circulars Of June 2 and 7, 1865.
am happy to be able to report sensible
abatement in the ravages OF the cholera
since my last dispatch. The last official re-
port which has been published, shows the
number Of deaths for the preceding day
august 21) to be only 143, while 1t Is now
the number of deaths has exceeded 2, 900 in
q single day.
On the 14th Of August the number of deaths
was $50, and of attacks 2,7l3.
Tho above reports include the cases in
Constantiuople and vicinity.
During the general and almost universal
suspension Of business in Constantinople
have yet to learn that a single ambassador or
a consular officer has left his post, This
Office has been open every day during bust
ness hours.
Iregret to inform the Department that
Mr.. Mark Finn, n destitute American citi-
zen, died by the cholera, at the Prussian hos
pital, on the 10th of August. From letters
in his possession at the time Of his death II
appears that his family reside in Whitedeld
or Owono, Maine. The best care and medi-
cal attendance which the city affords were
furnished by the direction Of the Consulate
General, but were unavailing in the case of
this unfortunate man.
This is the only death Of an American cit
izen from cholera within my knowledge.
1t gives me great pleasure to be able to
say that while some doctors Of the country
have deserted their posts of duty during this
trying period, some Of the American Mission
aries supplying their places have distin-
gushed themselves by their self-sacrihcing
labors and that by means philanthropic
and Christian efforts some lives have been
saved
The Rev. George Washburne is entitled to
special commendation in this regard.
Tho Rev. DR.. Hamlin is also well known
for his benevolent exertions and for his emi-
nently successful treatment of cholera pa
tients.
have the honor to be, most respectfully,
your obedient servant,

The HAUNTED Meeting HOUsE.-They
have had great excitement at Jersey City
absut church in process of erection, which
the builders abandoned and all the people
avoided on account of the strange noises heard
therein. A few thought they might proceed
from Major PANGBoRN, at his devotionsi but
tho majority believed the place haunted by q
less material spirit. The City Council or.
dered an investigation, and three bold men
being procured, the place was searched and
the mystery accounted for by the dismal
bowling of IN imprisoned mongrol cur. p.
and the spirits are acquitted Of disturbing
the peace this time.
