Your obedient servant,
S. G.. VAN ANDA.

The following is the constitutional
amendment as it finally passed the Miss
issippi Convention, by vote of SO ayes,
| | nays: 1.-The institution Of slavery
having been destroyed in the State Of
Mississippi, neither slavery nor involun.
tary servitude, otherwise than in tho
punishment Of crimes whereof the parties
shall have been duly n,icted, shal!
hereafter exist in this State; and tho
Legislature, at its next session, and there
after as the public welfare may require,
shall provide by law for the protection
and security of the persons and property
Of the freedmen Of the State, and guard
them and the State against any evils that
may arise from their sudden emancipa-
ton
Tho New Orleans Picayune Of tho
2jth ult. announced, as a significant and
sorrowful fact, that Cuba molasses is b.
ing imported into that city, ,ia Boston,
TO supply local demand. In the year
before the occupation of New Orleans by
the Federal power, the molasses product
of Louisiana reached near y mi jon
barrels, enough for tho whole comsump.
tion of the United States; and before
that time, Instead Of scarcity of the
article, planters were only two anxious
to know if the price would pay for manu-
featuring it, Several years must elapse
before Louisiana becomes producing
State again.
Meerschaum is made on large scale
in New York by saturating carbonate Of
magnesia in siliciate of soda or soluble
glass, caro- in selecting good quality Of
magncsia and silicate being the only re-
ouisite for success. The profits are i'm
mcnse, as will be seen. Magnesia costs
about twenty FIVE cents per pound, sill.
cate of soda even lees. A pipe made of
the foam of the sea, as smokers verify
believe, costs for material about five
cents. leaving the balance for labor.

Declines the Honor.


Col. Van Ands, not quite so anxious
for the hollow fare of Gen Tuttle, %
Col Benton, and dreading more tho dis
grace of a defeat, declines the compli-
ment rendered him by the Convention
which met at Des Moincs on the 23i
ult., in nominating him their candidate
for Lieutenant Governor. Here is his
letter:
pELHI, Iowa, Aug. 81. 1865.
CAPT. GEO. W. CLARK, Chairman Committee:
Your letter Of the 10Th ir slant, in
forming me of my nom mina,iou as csndi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, by tho
Soldiers Convention, held at DesMoines,
on the 23d inst, has been received. I
appreciate the kindness intended me BY
the Convention, and regret exceedingly
that l cannot accept the nomination,
coming from those brave and patriotic
men, with whom | have been 10 inti-
mately associated for the past three
years. l feel deeply, in common with
the soldiers of Iowa, the insult that was
practiced upon US by the haste with
which the Republican convention was
called. If justice had been done wo
would at least have been invited to send
delegates. l am opposed, too, to the
proposition to strike the word white"
out of the constitution, contained in tho
Republican platform. But do not be.
lievc that it is cardinal principle of tho
Republican party; and believe we can
better right those evils by remaining in
the Republican party than We can by
! lA~-i -r.'s' s1-pbica-u,-' III rn,s war 'unu uiu
all in their power to cripple our Govern
ment The hearts of the greater part Of
the Republican party are right, aud here.
after, as it has been in the past, our only
hope for the future welfare of our coun.
try is in the integrity and patriotism of
the party who have stood by the Govern.
ment during the rebellion and it is cur
duty, as soldiers, to remain with that
party--see that it is not corrupted by
scheming politicians. | believe it to bo
our duty for the respect We have for our
State, and for our true comrads, TO sup
port Col. Benton for Governor But no
such necessity exists in reference to tho
other candidates on the Republican tick
ct.
