New YORK, Oct 3.-The Worlds Wash

General SLoCUM is to be rendered an impor-
tant foreign mission.
SANTA ANNA did not appear to meet with
much sympathy from resident Mexicans on
his visit to Washington recently, in his eff
forts in favor of Mexican independence
The Herald's special says, a lively inter-
est is manifested by claim agents and attor-
neys of this city as to whether the Paymas-
ter General can legally ignore powers of at
torney in the settlement of the additional
bounty claims, which is said to have been
referred 10 Attorney General STANBURY for
his opinion. Since the matter has been an
nounced as being in the hands of Mr.. STAN
BURY, the Attorney Generals Office has been
visited daily by an unusually large number
of claim collectors, all evidently deeply IL
terested in the vindication of the law. 1t is
stated this evening that the Attorney Gen
eral has submitted his opinion TO the Secre-
tary of War, and this-question is decided in
favor Of the claim agents. The report, how
ever needs confirmation.
A Herald's Washington special says Gen.
DIX will only hold his appointment as Ma
a | Officer for few days. He has accepted
the mission to France, which was offered to
him with Mr.. SEwARD's full and cordial
appreciation. Whether this fact is indica-
tive of change in our foreign policy, I
must leave you to infer from the Generals
well known opinions in regard to Mexico

BRAsHEAR was arrested and held to bail in

course, already noted is inexplacable, as a
large amount of money was found upon the
person of the deceased by those who first
discovered his body. In the Coroner's in
vestigation one witness stated that he saw
two men running from the place about the

further tidings regarding the fate of his son,
an officer in the French army, reported to
have been captured and shot by the Liber-

ton or intelligence from young MoNTHLoN
since July added to the rumor Of his cap
ture and death, and created the most pain

guished parents, who have the warm sympa-
thies of a large circle of friends.

CHOLERA IN SKELBYVILLE-AU-
THENTTC PARTICULARs-LETT
FROM DIR. LIPSCOMB.

SHELBYvILIE, TENN, Oct 2, 1865
o'clock P M.-EDTroRs UNION AND AMERI-
CAN: As so many rumOrs have gone forth
in reference to the recent outbreak of ehole-
ra in this place, propose to give you a cor
rect account of it. Our town for weeks past
had been we'll eleansed and lined, and them
habitants generally in the enjoyment of good
health down TO the 9th ult. On that day
there was one case of cholera; on the en-
suing night there were four cases; on the
next day, 28lh, several more, and on the
29th several mOre-mOre indeed than on
any former day. From that time down to
the present, the number has diminished, as
there was only one death on yesterday, the
LIST of October, and none to-day in town,
and no new case in town yesterday or to-day
The type was exceedingly violent and
running rapidly TO a fatal issue,
terminating in death in from twelve to
sixteen hours, and was not preceded by any
prevailing tendency to diarrhea, as was the
very fatal epidemic that sweptover this place
in the summer of 1888. No disease could be
more fatal than the present epidemic has
been, as every fully developed case, until
yesterday, has proved fatal. Many cases in
which there were threatening symptoms have
been relieved, and the present epidemic
here only tends to still further verify the
sad truth known to all intelligent physi-
cians) that fully developed epidemic cholera
is rarely amenabe to treatment. No well
informed person can justly attribute the
disease to our bad water, as we have as good
water as is usually found in limestone re-
gions, and much better than in many other
places where cholera has never prevailed.
Many persons left town as soon as they could
conveniently, many others remained who
are still here hoping the darkest days have
passed; as there has been no new cases in
town yesterday or to-day.
Some eight or ten deaths have occurred
in the county some distance from town, and
twenty-three in town and the immediate vi
entity, of which the following is list
Leonard Marbury, 10. Carpenter, James
Bell, T. c. Fowler, II. K. Hastings, Capt.
Ell. Frierson, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. NJ. Crutch-
er, Miss Mary Ross, II. Haggard, Pasehal
Rouzee, James Stephens, Mrs. Bell, and ten
colorcd. THOMAS LIPsCoMB.
p. S.-October Sd, s A. M.-Chas Nose
ley, citizen Of the town, was reported last
night from the country. No other case.

d" PRIVATE DUDLEY"

This is the boosted name Of fellow who
temporarily presided over the deliberations
of the late Pittsburg- Butler-C Convention.
The way it happened that PRIVATE DUD-
LEY" met with this distinguished honor
was this: He had been for a long time a
clerk in the Treasury Department at Wash
ington, a secret spy in the service Of the
Radicals. His duties to his Radical task
masters had involved good deal Of (" un-
official running about and he frequently
asked for leave Of absence from his duties in
the Department, and his requests in this be-
half had been granted, until he trans
cended by many days the number which
the established rules Of the Department
allowed. Nevertheless, he asked for
another leave Of absence to attend the
Pittsburg Convention, though he did not
state that this was his purpose in the appli-
cation. 1t was refused solely on the ground
that he had already enjoyed more time FOL
recreation than the rule allowed. He there
fore resigned, aud Immediately became an
object Of Executive persecution and mar
tyr to principle" as the Radicals claim-wen
to Cleveland and became one Of the first men
Of the day, because he, a war-worn privat,
soldier, had resigned clerlship at Wash
ington and his resignation had been prompt
ly accepted. The fact that assoldier, who
had served in the ranks to defend his coun-
/ try, had been prescribed on account Of his pc
litical opinions, afforded a capital Tor Radical
enterprise that could not be neglected
SO private DUDLEY" vaulted into the from
position in the Piitsburg Convention, in
the Radical prints and in the months Of Rad
ical orators. All this turns out as well for
! "DUpLEV" as for his party. lie is pictured
in weary marches, in gloomy bivouacs, il
wretched hospitals, in the front Of glaring
battle, in prison pens" and all that sort o

New Military Association.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-An association has
been formed here Of fermer soldiers and
sailors of the Union army and navy who
were prisoners Of war in the South. A res
olution was adopted last night requesting ex-
pressions Of war prisoners in the different
States, also to notify the association of
their places Of residence, in order that full
record Of the prisoners of war may be kept.
1t was also determined to have annual cele-
bration. Maj. JONES, Superintendent Of
the Freedmen's Bureau for Northern Ala
bama, who is now in Washington, says the
people Of that section are anxious for a
peaceful settlement Of all national difficult
ties, and accept the present condition Of
affairs in good faith. Their treatment Of
the freedmen is humane and honorable, and
they entertain no malice toward Northern
men who are not offensive. Business is
re-established, and the plantations havepro-
duced plenty, and enterprising men from
the North are prOSpering.

REPORTED DEATH Of EX-(sOV. CTKAS-
\. MOREHEAD.

We mentioned yesterday the report at
Lexington, of the death Of Ex-GOv. CHAs.
S. MoREHEAD, of this State, at his planta-
ton, near Greenville, Miss, and expressed
the hope aud belief that it was incorrect.
We now fear, however, it is but too true, as
parties from the South yesterday brought
the same report. If it is correct, then has
Kentucky sustained grievous loss. Gov.
MoREHEAD was one of our ableSt, best and
purest public men. He exercised large in
huence, aud had the entire respect and con-
fdence Of all the people, friend and foe alike.
Since his Imprisonment in Fort Lafayette
and his return from Europe, he has re-
manned comparatively in seclusion, giving
his entire attention TO his private business,
which suffered so seriously by the war. In
our State and national affairs he bore a con-
spicuous part for many years. and his death

POSTPONEMENT or THE STATE CON.
VEN1ION.

Believing that stiT further time will have
TO elapse before the apprehension as to the
prevalence Of disease in the city will have
been dissipated in the public mind through
ont the State, the State Executive Commit
tee have concluded to again postpone the
Convention from the 2nd to the eth Of
October next
This postponoment is not for the reason OF
increased sickness in Nashville, but from
the knowledge Of the fact that apprehension
Of the epidemic which has recently visited
us may naturally be expected to exist long
after the disease has disappeared. DESTROYS
Of having as full a representation Of the PEG
pie as possible, the Convention is therefore
postponed to the last Saturday in October
