The South Carolina Convention
Admiral GOldsbOrOugh's Fleet.

u, New YORK, Sept. 29.-The South Caro-
lima Reconstruction Convention resolved
that the Union is the first paramount con-
sderatiOn of the American people, and that
the authorized representation of that SOW
ereignty within the limits of the Constitu-
ton, is the Federal Government. The late
war was not one of an oppressed people
against tyranny, but arose simply from an
apprehension on the part of the weaker
section. The war, therefore, not having
been strictly in the nature of rebellion,
they suggest to President johnson the JUS
tice and wisdom of not enforcing the pen
alties affixed to the crime of rebellion by
the laws of the United States. AS an evi-
dence of their good faith they indorse the
acts of President johnson and express their
determination cordially to support his wise
and patriotic efforts to restore the whole
country to the blessings of peace. v.o
The proposed new Constitution of South
Carolina is framed in accordance with these
principles. Civil and religious liberty,
trial by jury, the freedom of the press and
the subordination of the military to the
civil power, are secured to the people of the
State, and slavery is declared forever abol-
ished. .,-..e,l'
Admiral Goldsborough's fleet is still at
Cherbourg, and is not to proceed to the
Mediterranean until the cholera on the
coast is somewhat abated. The French and
American ships and officials have exchang-
ed many courtesies, and cordial feeling Is
entertained and a friendly attitude always
maitained between them.

News from Ca d. HAN.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Harvey Grinnell,
Esq- has received very important and in
teresting letter from Capt. @. Il. Hall, Arctic
explorer, which Announces that he has
learnedsnch facts in his present expedition
as to lead to the belief that there are yet
surviving three men Of Sir John Franklin's
expedition. >JGrozier, whosucceeded Frank
lin In command of the expedition, and
three men have been seen seen, Crozier re-
dueed to skeleton and being starved
70 death, while his three men were
rat, they having lived on human flesh
ana the flesh Of their companions, who all
deserted the ships, that were fast in the
mountains of ice, while Crozier would not
eat human flesh. The man finding the
party at once took them in charge. and
catching seal fed Crozier sparingly day
by day until his life was saved. He thus
cared for the men through the whole
winter, during which one of them died.
Crozier and the two remaining men
were then taken to Neithila, on Cou-
tia Felix Peninsula, where there were many
Junnits. Having guns and plenty of am-
munition. they were enabled to shoot plenty
of ducks. The Junnits treated them very
kindly. At length they started for the
kabnunas country, since which they have
not been seen, All this was previous to
1854, but the Junnits insist that Crozier and
his, friends are not dead.

Muster ed dOut-Kentuclxy 10 be Re-
lieved from Martial Law and
General Palmer 10 be Removed
Affairs I'm North Carolina.

NEW YoRH,Sept 29.-The Herald's spe-
cial says: The 4th New York Heavy Artil-
lery, Breyet Brigadier General Tibball
commanding, have been mustered out of
service and 60 to Hart's Island tonight to
be discharged. The I'd New York Heavy
Artillery will follow In few days, leaving
only few Regular batteries in the defenses
south OF the Potomac.
The President is said to have promised
| Gov. Bramlette that Kentucky should at
once be relieved from martial law. The
removal of Gen. Palmer from command Is
said to have also been determined upon.-
His successor Is not named, but General
Gordon Granger is, for many reasons, most
likely to be the man.
A doubtb begins to be entertained that the
approaching elections in Virginia will meet
with some difficulty by reason of the law
requiring the Commissioners of election in
the State to be appointed by State Courts,
which, as yet, have notbeen restored.
All that remains of Kilpatrick's famous
cavalry command in North Carolina, is the
veteran 9th Ohio, Col. Heath, whose head
from the Old North state represent that
there is no longer necessity for mounted
patrol; in fact, the presence of troops there
at all is just little superfluous. The Tar
people are devoting their undivided atten-
tion to the production of living from their
wreck of State, and have very little leis-
ure for sedition and, that sort OF, thing
Officers of the Quartermaster's Bureau
are busily at work collecting evidence
against the State prisoners confined at Fort
Warren and elsewhere, and the indications
are that quite a number of celebrated trans
gressors who have been expecting an un-
conditional release when the country quiz
eted down, will before long be brought to
Washington for final settlement before
the court.

A circular issued from Headquarters Bu-

Whenever judicial officers trying freedmen
show disposition to act justly, no interfer-
ence will be allowed by the Bureau
The equinoctial gale was severely felt
along the Gulf coast. Several boats were
blown ashore, and others damaged. A ter
rible storm passed over Grand Chemere, in
this State. The people in the adioinin g

| Feeling very grateful to the citizens of
Columbus for the very liberal patronage
they have bestowed upon me in the ice busi-
ness for some years past, consider 1t due
them that l should offer an apology for my
apparent failure to have on hand suffi-
cient supply of my own ice for the present
season.
This results simply from the fact that we
have had an unusually extended season of
warm, rainy and damp weather, during
which, 1t is well known among ice dealers,
that Ice wastes away in the ice houses and
elsewhere, much faster than in dry, hot
weather, and then takes more than the Or
binary quantity to supply the consumer.
| l put up last winter at least 400 tons
more than ever had before for any one
season, besides making arrangements with
house at SanduskY to furnish me in case
ofa deficiency with the required amount.
| My stock running short about three
weeks ago, this Sandusky house, after fur
nishing me few days, disappointed me
without giving sufficient notice to obtain
ice elsewhere, in time to prevent disap-
pointing some of my customers. l was
then Immediately compelled to 60 farther
North and import large amount from the
| Canada shore.
found there that this lack of ice is not
only local, but is general throughout the
country, and the demand for it is very great
at greatly advanced prices from all Sec
| tions. lae.
succeeded, however, in obtaining, asI
think, asufficient supply for the remainder
of the season at enormous expense, and am
now ready to meet the demand here at
prices in proportion; and if any of those
who have heretofore favored me with their
patronage have not been furnished lately,
they will oblige me by leaving their orders
at the Jewelry Store of f. A. & L. Les
quereux, where they will receive prompt
attention.
1t is proper to assure the public that
have completed arrangements to erect an
immense ice house, in addition to those
already have, with which, 1 hope to be able
to prevent such contingency from ever
again happening to them or myself.
/ Ibelieve have done everything that l
could to accommodate and give satisfaction,
and 1 hope my customers will see that this
scarcity and consequent increase of price is
not attributable to the ice dealers here, but
results from circumstances against which
no human foresight could guard.
Respectfully, FREDERICK JAEGER.

Galveston was visited by the most ter

Claims Against Foreign Govern

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The Times special
says: On the 22d instant the State Depart.
ment gave notice. by advertising in papers
in the principal cities, that citizens of the
United States having claims against for
eign Governments not founded on contract,
which may have originated since the 8th
of February, 1858, will, without delay
which can be avoided, be forward to the De-
partment, statements of the same under
oath accompanied by the proper proof
Under this notice, persons who have suf-
fered depredations of the rebel vessels Ala
bama and Shenandoah, fitted out in Eng
lish ports, can file their claims in the State
Department and thus demand, and it is be-
lieved receive, damages from the English
Government. The notice is intended also
to include those who have suffered from
rebel raids upon the frontier of Canada.
The Secretary of State has taken the mat
ter in hand, and intends to prosecute it vig-
orously to successful issue.
Acting Commissioner Wilson, of the
General Land office, in answer to inquiries
as to the right to take homesteads under
Congressional statutes, replied that the act
requires five years actual continuous resi-
dence and cultivation from date of entry
before the Department can give fee sim
pie title by patent. Should a party, after
entry, abandon or otherwise not meet all
the requirements of the law, this claim
would be invalid and the land would re-
vert to the mass of public domain. The
4th section of the law declares that no
lands acquired under its provision have in
any way become liable to the satisfaction
of any debt or debts contracted prior to the
issuing of the patent. Under these legal
conditions, whilst the fee simple remains in
the United States, it must be quite appar-
ent that the taxing power could not be sue
cessfully extended, in as far as taxing land
is concerned, whatever might be the au-
thority, on which no opinion is express
ed, to tax improvements on the premises.

New York, Sept. 9.-Additionalin intelli-

excitement in England is intense, and grave
apprehensions are entertained. 1t Is re-
ported that men in the. English army are
boasting of their connection with the Fe-
mans, and the signs of disaffection in the
army cause the English papers to demand
the rigid enforcement of discipline. Fears
are entertained that soldiers from the u. s.
will be landed ON the coast of Ireland, and
a report has gained credence that body of
disbanded U. S. soldiers have already land
ed near Galway. Nightly drillings were
frequent over all parts of Ireland. The
conspiracy was rapidly spreading and find
