THE PSILADELPHIA UNION CoNVENTION.— The following is @ copy ofa letter sent by Sena- tor Doolittle, as chairman of the Philadelphia central committee, to @ southern gentleman who is one of the delegates elect: Wasinoton, July 16, 1965.—Dear Sir: En- clesed 1 send youthe circular letter of our committee on organization. It contains the views of the Nationa] Union Executive com- Inittee. We expect tosee & great convention at Philadelpbia—a real union of the patriotic heartand brain of the country, and of the whole country—East, West, North, and Sout», to bless Almighty God that war is over, thit peace bas come, and come to stay, and once more, under the old flag, with nota star ob- scured, to shake hands together as friends in social and political action, pledged to main- tain in true allegiance, upon the principles set forth in the call for the convention, the consti- tution, the Union and the government of our common country. Respectfully, yours. J.R. Dooxrrtre, Chairman, NATURAL EFFECTS OF MISCEGENATION— Attempt to Poison.—Friday afternoon the resi- dents of Oak street, between Batavia and Syca- more streets, were shocked at the brutal treat- mentofa good looking white woman, by her negro husband. The couple had just moved in the neighborhood, and who they were and where they came from, the crowd who res- cued the woman were entirely ignorant of. As soon 4s reJeased from the clutches of her liege Jord—who in perfect harmony with negro in- stincts, after the boneymoon had passed, had been indulging the African’s disposition to tyrannize over the weak and helpless—the ‘women walked up the street and at the first drug store purchased. poison, which she swal- lowed on ber return, hoping thus, to be re. lieved from her loathsome condition. The dose however proved too large to produce the desired object, and the stemach revloting, and the skill of the physician being brought into requisition, her lifeis ina fair way of being saved.—Buffalo Couri FixanctaL.—The New York Stock market yesterday showed a very decided recovery cf activity, and every railroad stock on the list was higher except Erie, which was ¥ lower. The Commercial Advertiser of yesterday after- noon says Governments are weak. The tam. ring preposals in Senator Sherman’s bill ave a depressing effect upon Seven-thirties. Money is rather firmer, apparently from a dis- position among the banks to hold their money oftthe market, rather than lend 4 per cent. The general rate on call is 5 per cent., withex- ceptions at 4 per cent. Exchance is nominal at terday’s rates. Gold is in good demand for customs, but otherwise is quiet. The Persia takes out to-day $925,904 chiefly in bullion. Tue ATLANTIC CABLE.—The Great Eastern and her attendant fleet started sately from Valencia, Ireland, on their momentous jour- ney across the Atlantic, on July 13th. On tha afternoon of the 1ith, at which time our latest detailed reports are dated, she had laid 135 miles of calbe, and the signals were perfect. At noon of the 15th, she was still paying out the cable, we are informed by a dispatch from Queenstown, so that the expedition, as far as is known, bas made most successful progress. The Great Eastern is expected at New Fonnd- lend on Friday, so thatour next inteltigence of the Nret may be anticipated on this side of the ocean. ‘Tae CHOLERA.—By the health reports in New York it appears that the recent change in the weather to a cooler temperature has had a marked influence in reducing the number of cholera cases. Although new cases are con- stantly reported in that ¢ityy-the number of deaths from cholera is smajler than it was during the heated term oflast week, In Breok- lyn, however, the cholera as on the inorease, Bo! w- thetanding the change in the temperature, and on Monday last twenty-one cases and. seven deaths occurred in that city, The fact that cholera bus gained a foothold in the United States can no longer be doubted.

The delegates elected to a Stdte convention in pursuance of a call issued by Wm. H. Pur- nell, Esq.. chairman of the “ Unconditional Union State Central Committee,” by “the vo- ters of Maryland who sustain the restoration policy of President Johnson,” assembled yes- terday morning in the New Assembly Rooms, Hanover street, Baltimore. There was a large attendance in the rooms, embracing distin- guished men from aj} parts of the State. The convention was called to order by Colonel Purnell. as chairman of the central committee. bolas addressed the convention at considerable length, On_motion of the Hon. Montgomery Blair. the Hon. J. M. Frazier was unanimously elected president of the convention. On motion of Mr. John Evans, of Baltimore city, Marriott Boswell, Esq., was appointed secretary. On motion of Robert Fowler, E Balti- more county, the counties were calied, and all were found to be represented, excepting Prince Georges’ county. Caroline county presented two delegations. The President appomted the tollowing as the committee en resolutions:—For the State at large, Hon. J. W. Crisfield and Hou. Mont- gomery Blair: First Congressional district, Hon. Alexander Evans; second, Hon. Edward Web- ster; third. Br. Judson Gilman; fourth, Jacob Snively: fifth, Thomas J. Graham. The committees on credentials and resolu- tions baving retired, the convention at twu o’clock took @ recess until four p. m. At the evening session, the committee. re- Ported resolutions reaffirming and announcing the doctrines and principles wa have al- ways guided their conduct, ani 2 in future control it. They endorse the doctrines, in. ciples and policy announced and set fo! y the President of the United States, in his an- nual and veto messages, and other official an- nunciations, for the settlement of the questions gtowing out of the Inte war as wise. and censistent with the Constitution, and, if pene to be carried into effect, such as will insure justice to all, tranquilize the country, elevate our national character, and open to us & new career of prosperity and renown: claim that the States should determine to whom it is sate and proper to confide the elective fran- chise; fexcu pte r legislation to give effect to the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, and to protect the negro in the enjoy- ment of bis freedom and al rights: op- pore the Registry law of Maryland: and - prove the call for the Philadelphia Convention. During the reading of the resolutions much enthusiasm prevailed, and almost every one of tmem was received with loud applause. At the conglusion of the read! they were unani- monusly adopted, without hesitatuon. The committee to recommend delegates to the Philadelphia Convention reported the following delegates: At large—Hon. Thomas Swann, Hon. Montgomery Blair, Hon. J. W. Chrisfield, and Hon. Reyerdy Johnson. ist Gistrict, Col. George Vickers, Hon. John B. Franklin; 2d do., Gen. James L. Ridgley, Hon. J. Morrison Harris; 34 do., Col. Wm. H. Par- nell, Hon. John M. Frazier; ith do.. Col. Wm. P. Maulsby, Gen. J. C. Sullivan; 5th do., Robt. Fowler, Dr. W. W. Watkins. The above were then declared unanimously elected by the convention. Tie business of the convention having been completed, the president, Mr. Frazier, con- gratulated the convention upon their unani- mity of action. Their opponents had pro- phesied that they would be unable to harmo- nize their views, but the united action of the convention would strike terror to the hearts of the radicals, &c Loud calls were made for the Hon. Mont. gomery Blair, when he arose and said that he shared in the gratification that had been ex- pressed in consequence of the unanimity, feeling and success which had attended the labors of the convention would strike terror to all those whoare now attemptung to divide tbe Union. _* The Hon. John W. Crisfield being next called upon for a speech, he expressed his gratifica- thon with the Jabors of the convention. It re- Micded hun of the good old times. He felt that he was among friends. Mr. Cristield said that he was one of those who stood by the flag of the Union, and sought to upheld those who had battled for it. He flattered himself that they were the true Union men of the ceuntry. The constitution made them so. We are con- servative Union men. After Mr. Crisfield closed, the convention aajourned sine die, amidst considerable cheer- ing.—Balt. Sun, DISTURBANCE ON THE EASTERN SHORE OF Vireinia.—The U. S. tug Geneva, has re- turnea to Fortress Menroe, from the scene of the disturbance on the Eastern Shore of Vir- inia, near Drummondtown, between the in- abitants and the negroes. From the state- ment of the officer in command of the detach. ment of troops sent over to preserve order, it a@ppesrs that the troubles originated in a band of white men bunting down some of the negroes for the purpose of searching for one named Couch, whoa few days previous had attempted to cut the throat of a white maa, and robbing them of their arms and money. Complaint ‘was made to the civil authorities, anda war- rants issued for the arrest of eleven of the men itting the outrages upon the negroes. The 141h mstant was set apart for the hearing of the case. ata yillage named Woodstock. Un that day abont one hundred well-armed white men assembled, swearing they would kill every negro to testify, and threatened the magistrate. Mr. Dix, with violence if the proceedings were Eco through witb. magistrate seeing state of affsirs, endorsed upon the warrants for the arrest Of the parties the impossibility of con- ductive the trial under such circumstances, ana gave it to Major French, tbe agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau. This latter officer ad- vised the negroes to quietly return to their homes, and whiledoing se were again assanlted and pursued by tye arrmaed whites, until the; reached a place of@afety. Upon the arrival the troops from the fortress they all dispersed in every direction, not one ot them being fonnd after the rigid search made by the soldiers. Dratué 1 New York.—The New.

SENATE.— Yesterday afternoon— On motion of Mr. Wilson, the Senate agreed to tbe request of the House for a commitvee of conferenvce om the army bill. On motion of Mr. Fessenden, the Senate in- sisted on its amendments to the tariff bill, and agreed to the request of the House for a com- mittee of conference. Messrs. derson. and Howard were appointed the com- Mi!tee on the part of the Sehate, session, the Civil A) At the e ia- tion Dill being under .

Mr. Henderson moved, as a substitute Sor the amecdment of Mr. Wade, the bill reported by the Committee on Contingent Ex: Mr. Grimes, in expiaining the bil), aliuded fo the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate (Mr. Brown) as having exceeded his duties in at- tempting to make purchases for the Senate. He Was the executive officer of the Senate, and his place was on the right band of the President's me ar nvadly hart Free. avenue ma- ing pur was ety Sec- retary of the Senate, and when by was sick Vice President Hamlin bad autho- rived Mr. Brown to make chases, and he bad continued to doit. Officers of the Senate were also in the habit of making purcha- ses without authority of law. Mr. Trombull defended Mr. Brown as an able and efficient officer, and denied that his place was at the right hand of the President's cbair. The Sergeant-at-Arme attended taith- ey to his duties, and be (Mr. Trumbail) could pot sit stil] and hear these assaults u| a friend of twenty-five years’ standing. Dia the Senator want to putin a friend of his own as the —_——_ agent. which was provided for in the bill of the Committee on Contingent Expenses? Mr. Grimes denied that he had assailed Mr. Brown, and said that he bad called the atten- tion of the Senate to this matter from a sense of right. Hebad no friend to appoint as pur- chasing ageut, and had been opposed to that rovision in the bill. Complaints in regard to r, Brown bas been made by other Senators, many of whom had been here Jonger than he. Ree Trumbull said hehad never heard of em. Mr. Grimes said the Sergeant-at-Arms bad been brought here as the henchman of the Senator from lilinois, and of course no Sena- tors were going to him with complaints. Some further discassion ensued, when Mr. Sherman said it was very important that this bill should pass to-night. He was in- formed by several members of the House that £0 many were leaving that it was doubtful whether there would bea quorum after to- morrow. He therefore hoped the Senator would withdraw his bill. Mr. Doolittle was opposed to engrafung bills of this character on an appropriation bill. If this was done he should feel it his duty to add on the bill to reoraganize the Inter:or De- partment. The question was then taken on the amend- ment of Mr. Nenderson; whenit was disagreed to. The question was then taken on the amend- ment ot Mr. Wade, when it was disagreed to by yess 19, nays 20.
