pG-A doubt is expressed whether Mis-
sissippians will vote for convention.
And it may be very well doubted whether
thew should. If the effect is in any wise
assured that by obeying the behests OF
Congress they may go peaceably into
the Union with all the rights OF State,
the result will be eminently satisfactory.
But suppose the effect should be only to
take them from under the military con-
troll of the United States and place them

be all the worse for them. Men who
have been through this State for the pur-
pose of gathering information, report
the State in q disorderly and turbulent
condition to very great extent, LIE
and property unsafe in many places,
and more in need of reconstruction than
any other rebel State. We advise them
to bear the ills they have rather than
follow in our wake and reconstruct after
our fashion. Military control assures
personal security to those obedient to
such authority. But the control o.
Brownlow and Tennessee Legislature
secures nothing but hell before its time,
Lei our Mississippi neighbors beware
how they elect and trust any but Their

pea- The New York Times, in an edi-
torial on the present Rump Congress,
says 1t is one of the marked traits Of
the present Congressional session that
members discuss every subject under
Heaven e1eept the one properly before
them. Thus, in Fridays famous debate
on the Reconstruction bill, that bill was
entirely ignored, and, instead of it, Ire
land, the Philadelphia religious riots,
Tom. Moores poetry, Sisters of Charity,
sausages, solutions, Presidential candi-
dates, JEFF Davis and Greeley, Grant
and Ward Beecher, Jaurez and J. B.
Clarke, and, as the auctioneers say
"other things too numerous to mention,
we're the topics Of debate. The previous
question came like an electric shock
and the strict party vote which followed
showed that whatever had been said was
not for the South or for the Union, but
for buncombe."

Rep- A woman residing near Center
Point, Clay county, Indiana, went TO an
adjacent creek, the other day, to do
family washing, taking with her three
small children. The two elder ones,
while playing about in the woods. were
bitten by venomous snake; and their
screams attracting the attention Of the
mother, she fastened to their relief, leav-
ing the smallest child, which, during her
absence, fell into the creek and was
drowned. The other children died the
same night from the effects Of the snake
hite.

No. The New York Times, one OF the
ablegi as well as most conservative OF the
New York press, gives Congress credit
for fairness and moderation in what it is
doing in the present session. They came
together 10 remedy defects in their pre-
vious action, disclosed by the opinion OF
the Attorney General The legislation
in progress only provides for the attain
ment of certain ends which were motto
riously intended to be accomplished by
the existing acts, and which were likely
10 be interfered with by the Executive.
Summers efforts to open the whole sub
iect OF reconstruction have been resisted.
Stevens has been more than ordinarily
moderate, assisting to amend the law
without limiting at extreme measures.
Impeachment has been foiled and coniis-
cation has not been mentioned, the more
moderate Republican policy having
maintained complete ascendency. The
Republicans who have spoken and have
maintained the present bill, have done it
on the sole ground that Executive inter-
ference rendered it necessary, and wish
ing 10 do no more. Mr.. Cameron de.
clared that he "voted for the bill with a
desire that it should be an end Of such
matters" Mr.. Wilson condemned all
plans and movements tending to disturb
the settlement as a fnality. He said
"alI discussions and talk on Ether guar
nntees were doing hurt and mischief
Under the provisions of the bills as they
stand, the South can and will be admitted
ON complying with the requirements set
forth" "The prevailing feeling which
has found expression both in the House
and Senate, is one that exhibits an honest
resolve to enable the South to re-enter
the Union without more delay than is
necessary for the fulflment of the law.
The facts, the Times thinks, prove
determination to adhere in good
faith to the plan offered as the ba
sis of restoration to the Union. And
indeed, we are inclined to think that bu
for the extension of the franchise, which
ought rather to have been restricted fo
all and a multitude Of reasons, ever
thing might be Quoted, adjusted anC
settled without the greatest detriment Y
the South, and in the quickest time. Blu

peA. The Philadelphia Ledger says;
Tho Indians continue troublesome. On
tho frontiers of Kansas they have driven
many ofthe settlers away, and compelled
n cessation of labor at various points
along the railroad line. Recruiting, how
ever, is going on very briskly among
the whites, and eleven hundred were
mustered into the service at Leayen'
worth last week. A letter from Fort
Morgan, dated July LIST, states that Gen
Sherman had become convinced IRON
nersonal observation, that Forts Nc
pherson, Sedgwick, Morgan, and, IN
fact, most of the frontier outposts, re-
ouire strengthening. In Arizona the
Indians are stopping the mails and
carving off the live stock from the set
Elements. A body of cavalry were re-
Gently pursued for considerable DIS
lance. A dispatch adds: THE troops
we're compelled to kill all prisoners
taken, and also, part of their stock to
preyent them from falling into the hands
Of the Indians. Other statements OF a
similar character with the above, show
the savage nature of the warfare
which is being carried on between the
settlers and the Indians. The following
are the names and numbers of the hos
tile tribes now united in dc war upon
the whites: Apaches, 1000; Arapahoes,
5000; Blackfeet, 5000; Crows, 5000 (;
