New YORK, September 5.-At the
Vermont election, Dillingham; was re.
elected hy AN increased majority. In.
the Third congressional District, there.
was no political choice, there being two
Republican candidates. The other two
Districts elect Republicans.
PMLADELPHIA, September 5.--The
conven'ionists have, been wrangling
over the negro suffrage question, and
adjourned until tomorrow, without pre-.
sentatlon Of resolutions or address. The
minority report lavors negro snf'.aee.
A resolution offered by Moss, of Virgin.
Ia, 10 instruct Congress to provide for
tn entranchisement of the blacks, led
to much confusion and great excite.
ment; during the. debate, it was finally
referred.
The Northern and Southern Conven.
tio'ls fuse tonight and hold mass
meeting. Speeches were made in the
former by Butler, Schenck and Senator
Wilson, bitterly denunciatory of the
President.
JACKSON, Michigan, Sepsember s.,
The President and party passed here
to-day. Tuesday morning, reception
was rendered him at Elvria, Ohio; but
it was marred by several insults. A
black flag was displayed, and the band
drawn up to receive the party played
dirge instead Of a national air. At
Obern, no reception was rendered. At
Fremont, very enthusiastic demonstra-
ton took place. At Toledo, the radi.
calls .marred the proceedings by insult
ing interruptions; but with these excep.
''2ns. the aflnir passed off well. A great
crowd assembled at Detroit, where Gen.
Grant received the party in person.
The crowd was SO overpowering. that
arrangements for procession coulasnoit
be etfeclally carried onf. Sii0B 81
The Presidents speech at Dslsoiasiss
one of the most remarkable delIveftshlbtaf
him. A person in the crowd insultiha,o
ly alluded to the salary paid the Presi.s
dent, who, thus interrupted. addressed,
the intruder as one Of the radical hounds,
who had been barking at him for
eight months past, and taking up the
aiInslon to his salary as his text, he
poured a broadside ofinvective and ridi. I.
Guile into the radical Congress, which he
called the Congress which had doubled
ITS own pay and given the manned sol.
dlers of the war meagre pltancs Of
fifty dollars bouaiy for their services.
Gen. Grant has rejoined the party.
Secretary Seward, in his speech, alluded
to the efforts being made to seperate
Grant and the President cbaracterinng
them as futile.

and future prospects of the Districts.
Allow me here to correct an error in
the last sentence of the article alluded
to. The sentence should read 'Hrhe
amount Of cotton raised in the State in
1860 was 200 pounds per head, this
District no doubt raised more, per-
haps twice this quantity"
Then (ls60) we were enjoying de-
gree of prosperity rarely surpassed,
but, how changed! Since that time
production has diminished, taxes have
increased, the District has lost, accord
ing to an estimate, the details of
which it is not necessary to give here,
emancipation out ofview, three mil
lion dollars, and many of the most ac-
tive and useful citizens have perished, :,
leaving behind them helpless widows
and orphans with very slender means
of support.
In addition to the material losses
many individuals are dispirited to an
extent that amounts almost to de-
spondcncy and, though it cannot be
denied that the prospect, all things
considered is rather discouraging, de-
cidedly so in comparison with the
past, yet it is we'll to encourage such a
feeling as little aspossible, for it will
necessarily affect injuriously the ma
terial prosperity of the country. In
avoiding this it is well, in order to
avoid likewise tho other extreme to
look the subject full in the face and
with both eyes open.
What then is the situation, what are
the difficulties, and what the remedy /?
A people impoverished by war and
invasion, onc-half of the improved
lands reduced, by the system of culti-
vation heretofore pursued, to situa-
tion in which they are utterly value
less, the system of labor to which we
have been accustomed completely
revolutionized, country in measure
desolated by tho destruction of i'm
provements, the social effect of the
occurrences of the war, and finally the
crops of the present year almost fail
are, ereSthssehief, of the adverse fea-
lures of the situation. On the other
hand the intelligence and energy of a
people among whom personal industry
and economy have become more repu-
table, soil yet capable, abused as it
has been, of supporting three times
its presont'population, the facilities
natural and artificial, manufacture
ing successfully, and last, though per-
haps not least, the fact that the hills
and valleys among the rocks and
streams of which we sported in child
hood, have begotten associations that
will operate against emigration, and
stimulate to exertion here these are
the hopeful features in the case, and
these render it possible that with the
ptsper exertion we may yet surpass our
former prosperity. GIVES.

The Atlantic Gable.

The London Times publishes letter from
Mr.. Geo. Seward, General Superintendent of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company: 1.-The ar
rangements of the directors as to new capital,
are now completed, that several hundred miles
of the core, or interior portion of the cable
are completed and that the Great Eastern is
chartered to go to sea in June, 1866, for the
double purpose of laying an entirely new
cable, and of raising the broken end of the
one thousand one hundred miles of cable laid
this year, so as to splice additional cable
thereto, and thus, if successful, furnish to the
public second means of communication.
"This one thousand one hundred miles Of
submerged cable is ascertained to be in the
most perfect order by daily tests taken from
the time it broke, and still continued daily
The buoys at the end of it are washed away,
but this is of no consequence, as they were
intended only for temporary purpose, the
spot for grapnelling having been laid down by
solar observations, 50 that good navigator
can at any time sail to within half a mile of
the broken cable"

A wealthy Londoner established free
school in that city some time ago, and directed
that the day after Christmas in every year
there should be drawing among the young
unmarried women educated there, for mar
riage portion of one hundred pounds, The can
didates must be members of the Episcopal
Church, twenty-five years of age, and produce
certificates of good character from employers
with whom they have lived since leaving
school. The drawers of prizes soon after be-
come wives. A large number participated in
the drawing last Christmas, the fortunate pupil
being an exceedingly pretty, rosy-cheeked
damse whom nobody would suppose would
have any difficulty in securing husband
dowry or no dowry

GEN GRANT ON THE MEXICAN QUESTION
The New York Evening Post, which thinks
we are " drifting into war with France on
the Mexican question" makes the following
interesting statement:
We have good reason to believe that the
highest military authority in the land wished
to march twenty thousand men across the
Rio Grande and into Matamoras, five months
ago-not because he wanted war, but because
his military genius and experience taught him
that this was probably the best and perhaps
the only way to prevent war. Had he been
ordered to do so, every foreign soldier would
by this time have left Mexico, and we should
not be threatened, as we are, with foreign
war

General F. H. Smith, the Superintendent of
this institution, stated the other day, that five

eral Stonewall Jackson, Major General Rodes,
Colonel Crutchfeld, Captain Morgan and Lieu
tenant Crittenden. Colonel Crutchfeld, who
had just been elected to fill the chair of his la
mented chief, jackson, fell in one of the last
fights Of the war, and left among his papers
manuscript volume on Analytical Geometry,
written by him while confined to his bed from
wounds received at Charlottesville Besides
these, one hundred and twenty-five of its
alumni fell in battle, embracing such names as

ROMANTIC AFFAIR.-In the Havana cor
respondence of the Boston Post, we find the
following: The foreign cotere is discuss
ing decidedly romantic affair still passing
in our midst There is Spanish law by
which young man having an income Of fifty
dollars per month, and wishing to marry a
yong lady, a minor, and unable to obtain her
parents consent, can have her deposited in the
house of mutual friend till the marriage GER
emory is performed. Well, young Cuban,
having made a passage to New York and back
with the family of one of our American resi-
dents, fell in love with the daughter, and is
determined to marry her, if possible, in spite
of the opposition of the parents. An order has
been issued to have the dansel deposited, but
is still in allegiance, the father having applied
to the Captain General through his counsel.
Each new phase of the case is eagerly discussed,
and all desire to see the sequel. The young
lady will lead an unhappy life should she fail
to listen to reason and common sense.

AN ELEVATED RAILROAD IN BRoADwAY-
Captain Hemstreet; young engineer, has de-
vised plan and proposes to erect an elevated
roadway upon eliptical arches over the CEN
tire or carriage-way of the street below, and at
the same time keep it, in. all weathers, dry and
clean and to let the sidewalks be open and
uncovered. On the roadway thus resting upon
elliptical iron arches, and reac hing from gutter
to gutter across the middle of the street, he
proposes to lay three or four tracks, upon
which trains should be run with dummy en-
gines. As the tracks will be always clear and
clean, the rail may be light and Capt. Hem
street proposes to lay them on rubber cushions,
and thus make the motion perfectly smooth
and even. 1t is estimated that such road
could be built from the Battery to Union
Square, including the glass roof, for less than
$1,0OO,OOO
