Col- lisions attended with fatal results in some cases have occurred in different portions of the State between the white inhabitants and the colored troops anid thoir negro friends, ‘The soldiers and negroes at Vicksburg have held meet!ngs and resolved to defend themselves. The Legislature has memorialized the President to remove the national troops from the State, and Governor Humph- reys in a proclamation has called for the organization of the State militia, It would seem, however, that fr. Hamphreys is acting without authority; for, although he was elected Governor, Mr. Sharkey, the Provisional Governor, was yesterday informed, by a telegram from Secretary Seward, that the President expects him to continue to act as Governor until otherwise ordered. It will be remembered that Provisional Governor Perry, of South Carolina, was some time ago similarly in- structed. Interesting details of the proceedings of the Georgia Convention, the prominent points of which have already been brietly noticed in our columns, together with inte. resting facts relating to the fecling, perzonal history and antecedents of the members, are given in our Milledge- ville correspondence. Though a majority of these gen- tlemen were @ way and another implicated in the rebellion, none of them were among the secession !ead- ers, and it is said that they have renewed their allegi- ance to the national government in the best faith, and are dete hereafter to give'lt their undivided sup- port. T were exciting discussions over the memo- rial to the President for the pardon of Jeff. Davis and On the sabject of repudiating the debt of the State tn- curred to assist the reb:llion. A petition to Secretary Seward is circulating in Bos- ton, and has already received the signatures of some of the largest ship owners of that city, praying bim not to prose our claims on the British government for the depredations | of the Anglo-rebel pirates. ‘The petition states that when England becomes involved in war, which eannot be for | distant, the position which her government has taken in rogard to the fitting out of rebel pirates, if allowed to stand as a precedent, will give us such an advantace that we cao, by furnishing privateers for her adversary, in- flict on ber commerce damage a hundred times greater | than that she has allowed to be inflicted on ours, Tt is said that a War Department order mustering out of service about a hundred additional generals of volun- teers will stiortly be issued. As will be recollected, General Howard, Commissioner of the Freedmen's Burcan, some time ago instructed his subordinates to make the necessary arrangements for a restoration to the former ownors of lands and other pro- | perty in various portions of the South which, having been found evandoned om tho advance of our armies, ‘was libelied ‘or confiscation by the government and given in charge of the officers of the Bureau.

Other vigorous measures to prevent the discase getting into the city have also been decided on, including a thorough system of interna! sanitary operations. We give this morning some interesting facts relative to our previous visitations from the cholera and in regard to the proper means for averting it, As only two days now intervene between this and the ‘eventful occasion of our election, we give this morning ascomplete alist of the nominations for the various offices in this city of the different parties as it is possible to obtain, as also some interesting items connected therewith. The registering of voters continued to go on pretty briskly throughout the city yesterday, notwith- standing the storm. One chance is still left for the slow coaches who wish to be able to deposit their ballots on Tuesday, as the boards of registry will be in session again to-morrow. ‘The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution yester- day recommending the citizens to vote against paying the State bounty tax next year, on the ground that such a course would render taxation on this county oppressive. ‘The county's share of the debt is about ten millions five hundred thousand dollars, which the Board are of the opinion it will be better to pay in a number of years than in one, Captain. Huxford, of the British bark Susan Jane, which arrived here on Friday evening, furnishes us with a detatied account of his reseue of the officers and crew of the bark Statira, Captain’ Harriman, which was aban- doned at sea in a sinking condition on the 22d of Octo- Der, as moticed in the Hxmatp of the 28th ult. During the night of the 224, aftor her abandomment, there was an explosion on board the Statira, amd sho iutmediately beneath the waves. She was loaded with coal, and was bound from Pictou, N. 8., for Boston. On the 15th of October an unknown brig and on the 18h a deeply laden bark, both in a considerably damaged con- dition, were seen by those on board the Susan Jane. Captain Howes, of the steamship Mariposa, reports passing on the 29th ult. a vessel of about three hundred tons, bottom up; on the 30th, a bark with mainmast gone; on the 31st, portions of the masts and rigging of a wreck, and on the 3d inst., off Absecom, @ brig stand- ing in shore, with a wreck in tow. ‘The cpptain and crew of tho British brig Brisk, from Cardenas for this city, with a cargo of sugar, which was abandoned at sea in a sinking condition on the 28th ult,, arrived here yesterday on board the bark C. E. Rosen- bury, Captain Crowell, by which vessel they were res- cued. Judge Garvin, of the Superior Court, yesterday ren. dered his decision in the case of William Allen versus the Mexican General Ortega, granting the motion for a vaca- cation of the order of arrest of the General, who was accordingly released. A large democratic mocting was held last evening in the Brooklyn Academy of Music. This’ was the final great rally of the party before the day of contest, Tues- day next. The meoting was not equal in proportions to the previous ratification meeting of the party a few or to that of the republican rally of Friday notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the Academy was well filled, and a good deal of enthtsiasm marked the proceedings. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. George T. Curtis, John Van Buren and Montgomery Blair. A four ball carom game of billiards, for one thousand doWars aside, fifteen hundred points wp, the contestants being Mr. Dudley Kavanagh and Mons, Carme, was played last night at Irving Hall, in the presence of a crowded assemblage of spectators, and resulted in the success of Mr. Kavanagh, he scoring the fifteen hundred points on his sixtieth run to his opponent's thirteen hun- dred and thirty-nine. . On the 16th of May, 1864, policeman George W. Dur- yen was chot and killed on the comer of Second avenue and Sixty-third street, whilo endeavoring to ar- rest a man named John Connolly. A man known as Jobo Carrol, al'as Cahill, was at the time arrested on suspicion of being the murderer, but was dis- charged for want of evidence. Very recently a man named Owen Hart, who had been arrosted on charges of grand larceny and felonious aseanit, stated that cortain persons were very desirous of getting him out of the way, as Cabill had confessed being the murderer to him. This led to search for Cahill, who had disappeared from the city, and, after mach travel, labor and manonvering on the part of detectives, he was found keeping a drinking shop in Columbus, Ohio, arrested and brought on here, where he arrived on Friday night. Yesterday an exam- ination of the matter took place béfore Justice Dodge, and, after considerable testimony had been taken, Cahill and Connolly were both committed to the Tombs, the former on suspicion of being the person who fired the fatal shot and the tatter as an accessory. Ayoung Prussian, of very insinuating manners and possessed of extensive accomplishments, whose real name is said to be Francis Stabenow, but who has repre- sented himself as the Count Dohna, and has also, it is said, been known by various aliases, was yesterday ar- rested at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where, as well as at other establishments both here and in other Northern cities, he had tived and flonrished in fine style, on charge of being both a swindler and a deserter from one of the regular regiments of our national army. In his posses. sion when arrested were found a large number of photo- graphs of his lady friends, with accompanying notes, and different articles which it is said were about a year and @ half ago stolen from tho real Count Dohna in Ber- lin, Stabenow is detained for a further examination. Chief Mastorson, of the Erie Railway police force, ar- rived in th's city on Friday night, on board tho steam - ship Mariposs, from Now Orleans, having in enstedy Alfred A. Jones, charged with the late defalcations in the Erie Railway Company's office, A wostward bound paasonger train on the Erie Rnil- road which had switched off on the other track to take water was run into on Friday night, near Ramapo, by an. castward bound freight train. By the collision the Roy. Mr. Romoyn, Methodist clergyman, of Sloats- burg, was killed, and on unknown man so severely in- Jjnred that one of his legs had to be amputated. It is said that no other persons were injured; but the engines and a number of cars were much damaged. The stock market was weak yesterday morning, but afterwards recovered, and closed strong. Governments were inactive, Gold was strong, and closed at 14714. There wae not much business done outside of ‘Change yesterday, though asa general thing the markets for both fore'gn and domestic merchandise remained firm. Groceries were ‘generally firm, though rather quiet. Cotton was dull and nominally lower. Petroleum was steady, but very quiet. On ‘Change flour was steady, but rather less active. Wheat was depressed by large receipts, and prices were somewhat lower. Corn was unchanged, Pork was irregular and lower Boef was steady. Lard was moderately setive at previous prices. Whiskey was higher. Assavirs axp Hicuway Rospery m Tae Srreets.—Scenes of violence and gross reck- lessness are becoming so common in the streets of the metropolis of Inte, ever in open daylight, that life is no longer safe im the public thor- oughfares. That there is » great lack of vigi- light, what ebance of safety is there for way- farers after nightfall? A few evenings ago a gentleman was attacked and his pocketbook armed men in that city, that government officinis are fraterniaing with the order, and that even the Premier connives at their movemenis, No additional deaths from cholera on board the steam- ship Atalanta, which arrived at Quarantine on last ‘Thursday might, were reported yesterday. It appears that she bad altogether over six hundred passengers, five hundred and sixty of whom were in the stecrage, to which portion of the vessel the disease was exclusively confined. The ship is described as being very filthy, and had during the passage sixty cases of cholera and sixteen deaths from it. The ebip's doctor says there were seven <deaths among the passengers before they left Havre. Fhere wore still fifteen cacee among them yesterday. All those affected have been removed to the hospital ship Floreace Nightingale, and everything necessary for their treatment and comfort has been sent thither. The Ata- Jants and all her other passengers are still detained at the Lower Quarantine, where they will be kept until all traces of the disease have disappeared. Fhe steamship Europe, with three hundred passen- gors, arrived in the lower bay from Havre on Friday evening; buat, although whe had had no cases of cholera ‘and there was no sickness on board, asa precautionary measure sho wae detained at the Lower Quarantine also, and will be kept there anti! she undergoes a thorough examination.

Neither policeman nor civilian made the least effort to prevent the outrage or arrest the perpetrator. On Wednesday last a gentle- man was knocked down and brutally beaten at ten o’clock in the foreneon, his watch and money taken, in a frequented part ef Ninth avenue, We call the attention of the Police Commissioners to these two special cases, though there are many more, no doubt, which have not been reported. There is andther fruitful cause of danger to life in the streets, and that is the furious driving of the butcher boys. We saw one of these chaps the other day drive up Broadway, near Union square, in the midst of a crowd, ata rate that would not discredit the Fashion Course, while a policeman stood coolly on the sidewalk loak~ ing at the young cherioteer’s dangerous feat, Such things would not be permitted in any other city in the world, and with our large and expensive police force they need not ocour here if the latter attond to thgir duty. LM wrev ‘The Prospect of Hestering the Planting Interests of the South. The information coming to us daily, from different and reliable sources in the South, shows that the prospect of restoring the plant- ing interests of that blighted section is very promising. To use a common colloquial ex- pression, “things are looking up.” The wise reconstruction policy of President Johnson is having the happiest effect upon the late para- lyzed industrial pursuits of the South, and restoration in these is keeping pace with the progress in political matters, This is seen in every portion of the Southern States, but par- ticularly in those parts which are most acces- sible to commerce, as along the Atlantic bor- der and the banks of the Mississippl. The vast commerce that has been revived betweon this city and the South within a month or two, 4s well as between the great cities of the Northwest and that region, indicates returning prosperity. \ A great deal has to be done, however, be- fore the South can be restored to its former prosperous condition. And at -the present time planters need the assistance of capital to purchase stock and implements for cultivation, and to restore their gin houses, plantation buildings and fences, the greater part of which have been destroyed during the war. Along the Mississippi river, too, the levees need re- pairing, for the cotton crop would be in danger of inundation. In fact, the planters in many parts would hardly venture to plant unless the levees be repaired. , An extensive planter in Carroll parish, Louisiana, who recently left this city to pre- pare his plantation for cultivation the coming season, found more than one-third of the ne- groes he formerly owned had returned, and others were returning to their old home. At the commencement of the war he bad several hundred, Many of the ablo- bodted men had been taken for the armies; the rest had been driven away or had left volun- tarily. They were scattered about, some within the federal and others within the rebel lines. Numbers died and some sought refuge under the Freedmen’s Bureau. They all have had a bard and an instructive experience. They come back begging to be employed and pro- vided for. This gentlemah says he expecia to have within a month or so two-thirds of his old hands back again. He thinks one-third have perished. He has supplicd them with provisions, and proposes *to make a contract with them by the year as farm servants are hired in the Old World. They are delighted with having a home again and the prospect before them, and he believes that most of them have learned by sad experience to value his offer and will serve him faithfully. This case is an example of many others, in- deed we might say of most others, as regards the planters and negroes of the South, It is true the gentleman we refer to is kind and considerate, a good business man and manager, and understands negro characier well. But it is the sume with nearly all the old planters, There are » few exceptional cases of stupidity and brutality among the former masters; but they are rare and chiefly among strangers who do not understand or care for the negro. Most of the masters desire to employ their tormer slaves and to treat them well, if they can do so—if they be not prevented or trammelled by arbitrary restrictions of the government or in- terference of the little martinet, over-officious and trading agents of the Freedmen’s * Bu- reau. to living as poor white people have to do. In truth, they are fast learning this, as appears from their return to the old plantation homes. Such is the prospect, looking at the disposition and necessities of both the planters and negroes. And the negroes will soon learn know they must work for their But two things are needed. First, there must be no unnecessary interference by the government with the industrial pursuits of the South and individual action. Second, it is necessary to have capital to replace the stock and to restore the gin houses, buildings, imple- ments and fences, destroyed by the war. first rests with the government. And, notwith- standing the crazy radicals in Congress, we have no doubt there will be found sufficient practical good sense in that body to remove whatever difficulties exist. The President will be able, this respect as in the restoration of the political status of the Southern States. The we think, to carry out his policy in Supplying capital must depend upon the North, and upon this city in a great degree. Upon this subject we will quote the language of a letter before as from a former rich Loui- siana cotton planter and @ prominent man in the rebel government. He says: “Those who were inclined to commence planting again are generally without means to restoek and supply their plantations. Fam ene of that number. With means [ think I could pfant cotton, at present prices, with success; but I have nothing but my lands lott. make a satisfactory arrangement with a capi- talist I would leave the law and@ give all my time to planting.” This is the faet, not only in the individual case ot this gentleman, but to a great extent throngiiout the Seuth. He ex- presses himself modestly about the chance of success, but at the same time shows his con- fidence. Looking at the price of cotton, and what it must be for some time to come, we are disposed to think that the investment of capital in planting would prove very seccessful. Pro- fitable and safe terms could be made with the owners of plantations, They understand the business, and would give their earnest and per- sonal attention to it. With alt that can be done the next year, it is not likely more than a third of the crop of 1860. could be raised. Cotton would remain, therefore, near its present price. Carroll parish raised in 12860 seventy-three thousand bales, No one supposes it possible to raise more than half, or much more than half, that amount the coming year. The samo causes and reasons apply in a great measure to other cotton growing districts. From these facts it may be seen what an excellent pros pect there is tar those who invest in the busi- ness. If I could ‘We do not refer here to the question in its general bearing upon the trade of the whole country, the revenue and the pacification and fatare progress of the South. This mast be apparent to the most common understanding, and needs no argument. On the whole, the planting and industrial interests of the South- ern States, as well as the restoration of her- mony between the negroes end their former masters, look promising, if helping band ihe North be extended. and if e wise non-,) intervention policy on the part of the govemn- ment be pursued. Our Claims on Enanglend—Our Rights Under Well ed National Law. A war with Britain, in consequence of the official of that nation through Lord Russell to sir the injuries done our com- merce by the is not beyond the bounds of . A city journal, eupposed to be inspired by secret information derived from the Department of State, has within the last few days admitted qs much, A war with that country, while it would prove perfectly ruinous to itscommercial interests, and very probably induge its bankruptcy, would also be very and disadvantageous to us, considering the heavy war debt which already preases upon opr industry end resources. In this condition of things it may be well worth considering what other steps may be taken which would be as effectual, give us im- mediate indempity and throw the responsibility of a war upon the aggressors thomselves—a- moral disadvantage to them, which would in- evitably lead to their humiliation when super- added to other and material causes. One of these steps or measures is the resort to the law of retortion or reprisals, known and practised as long ago as the time of the ‘Romans, and still recognized everywhere. The principle is this:—“If a nation refuses to repair or give satisfaction for an injury, the injured party may seize things belonging to the wrong doer and- apply them to his own use, until he is paid the amount that is due, with damages; or he may detain them as 4 security until full satisfaction is given.” This is a well established right, and to put it in force letters of reprisal may be granted to those persons who have suffered the injury. Grotius, Vattel and Azuni fully treat of this right and acknowledge its existence. In 1753 the King of Prussia availed himself of it by seizing the debts of English merchants within his kingdom to make some of his sub- jects whole, in consequence of the outrages commitied on their property by English priva- teers. The States of the United Provinces in 1783 seized in the same way some Venetian vessels to compensate their citizens for claims against the Venetian republic. In 1796 the King of Spain directed the seizure of English property in that country as an indem- nity for the illegal detention of the Spanish frigate Minerve. There are also some cases in point in French history made against the same aggressors. So that the British government must be quite familiar with the application of the principle. Indeed, they may read their own history to some advantage on this sub- ject. In 1652, inthe time of the Commonwealth, Cromwell, afterwards Protector, issued to Eng- lish merchants letters of reprisal for damages done them by the Dutch, and on their reim- bursement proffered a return of the balance, They will also discover both in the famous treaty of Utrecht and that of the Pyrenees that the right of reprisals was fully admitted. But if we do not choose to resort to this national and legal remedy we have still another, which is purely of a peaceful character. It is to adopt the measure of non-intercourse, as we have several times done before in cases arising from much less provocation. We may say with perfect propriety to Great Britain, “If you decline doing us justice we will no longer trade with you.” This would be the heaviest blow we could inflict upon her. Her best cus tomer at this moment is our own country. She essentially needs our cotton and tobacco, a6 well as our cereals and provisions. She is now flooding us with her manufactures, does nearly all our carrying trade, and con- stantly draws immense sums in gold from ns. To deprive her of these advantages and this support would be to impoverish her, seriously inyure her merchants, manufacturers and banks, lessen her revenues, and even endanger her solvency. It is, then, our obvious and convenient poticy to resort to this measure without the mecessity of firing a gun. There is British property enough in this port and city to cover all our losses by the Alabama liable to immediate seizure under this law, and the reprisal would be in effect “sharp, short and decisive.” This indemnity in hand would go @ great way to prepare us for an enconnter if it should come; but we are inclined to the opinion that the people of Great Britain would much prefér to come fairly to terms than lose their best customers, and the merchants and bankers would rather continue to drew their millions of gold from us week after week, than rum the risk of deprivation and insotvency. And al- though the immediate effect of non-intercourse upon ourselves would be the suspension of our traffic with England, it would give an immense start to that between us and all other foreign nations, so that our customs revenue-would be but little affected. But if it were, we: should stop at once sending gold abroad, and it would accumulate here rapidly, and become-so: much: cheaper, as to make it more available than-ever for the payment of interest on our national se- carities. In cither case the result would: be: about the same. It would be, in fact, mush cheaper for: us:to: bay a few millions of gold from our own miners, in case it Became necessary, than to incur an- other immense war debt, when we have: at hand an eesy remedy, recognized by all’ na- tions, well known to the British ministry-and particulnsly applicable to this very case. Intznesixao to Reset Bownuowpars.—Cor tain English financiers are just now agitat- ing an. odd question. They suppose that ifs rogue steals an honest man’s. watch and buys a dozen shirts with it that the honest man when he reelains his watch is the “successor” of the rogue and can be sue@ for the shirts, They propose to apply this notion to the ease of the United States and that great rogue the Seath- ern confedéracy. Having smashed the rogue, we, they say, are the “suocessor,” and mast pay his debts, Doubting the reasonableness of this conclusion, very preperly, they have applied to “Mr, Fleming, Q.C.,” to give them his opin- fon on it, The leagned Fleming, having con- sidered the matter with much anxious misgiv- ing, has sesured the financiers that they are quite right. We would advise them before. they go any further to consider the two recent letters on thie topic of President Jobnson—one to the Governor of North Carolina, the other to the Governor of Georgia. Those letters are frrsm s'man who can tell more about that sub- jeot, without any anxiety at all, than Fleming can after pussling bis brains with tbe most ex- auisite ingallectual torture. mon to Tas AraLanta—The best answer to all the attempts to make a sensation and frighten people with cholera stories is a simple statement of the facts in the case of the Atalanta, ‘The first fact is that she English emigrant ship—a place in which the largest number of that ever cross the sea are crowded cattle on the way to mar- ket. Itis even an exceptionally bad passage; for the ship does not come straightfrom her starting place to this port in the ‘ordinary time. Her machinery got out of order. She stopped at a French port to have it repaired, and she has been out altogether thirty-four days. Add the discomforts, then, of an uaveually long voyage to the ordinarily bad condition of a steerago passenger, and we find an abundant explanation for unusual mor-. tality. Bad or insufficient water and. food, an overlong stay in the fotid atmosphere of the steorage, and the fright of the ignorant /pas- sengers at the mere fact of touching at o French port—all these are what constitute the “cholera” on the Atalanta. The mortality on the Atalanta & merely un- edie usually epee emigrant ship. It is not “terrible.” renty Teaths are the most re- ported by the worst story, and this is out of five hundred and four passengers, on a voyage of twonty-four days—less than death a day. Does any one believe that cholera would act that way? This cholera story will have one good offect if it makes us clean up our crowded and dirty places—the “steerages” of our cities—the only places where cholera has ever done any harm. It is to be hoped that it will not stimulate timid physicians into report- ing #3 cholera every case of doubtful intestinal disease. Tux Resoorces or raz Soura—A Cats. FRoM Anansas.—From every quarter of the South its people, impoverished and exhausted by the war, arc calling upon Northern and European capita] and enterprise to give them a new start inthe development of their boundless agricul- tural, mineral, manufacturing and commercial resources. The Inst call before us is from Fort Smith, on the westera border of Arkansas. In the Nx Era of that towa we find a glowing account of the advantages of that section of the State to actual settlers. The climate is good, the innds: are rich and cheap, producing liberal crops of cotton, tobacco, hemp, corn, wheat, &c., grapes and all the fruits of the Southern, Central and Northera States. The forests are filled with fine pine, a variety of oaks, walnut, cherry, hickory, peean and other valuable timber. It is a fine grazing country, too, and abounds in minerals and water power. Coal fully equal to that of Pittsburg exists in abundance in the immvdi- ate vicinity of Fort Smith, which, at the head, of navigation, is the commercial depot be+ tween the Mississippi and the prairies, on the line of the Arkansas, We are, in fact, just be- ginning to comprehend the vast resources of wealth and prosperity all over the South await- ing the development of capital and labor. In Arkanaas alone there isa field in which millions of people may flourish and still have room for moré, Why cannot the enterprising men of our over- flowing Northern cities organize in each at least one emigration company for the cheap transpor- tation and location of settlers in these Inviting regions of the South? Whet a vast amount of labor running to waste might thus be em- ployed in adding to the wealtl of the country and the relief of the national Treasury, and to the endless profit of all concerned. ‘Tur Casnx nD THE STRERAGES oF Crrmes.—The case of the recently arrived cholera ship shows how that dreadful disease thrives. There were fifty passengers in the cabin and five bhun- dred in the steerage, and not one of the cabin passengers was attacked, while the mortality in the steerage was serious. So it is and will be all over the world; the cleaner portions of cities and towns escape, while the poor, dirty, crowded portions suffer. The: duty is, there- fore, incumbent upon us to clean the steerage of our cities—back slums, tenement houses and all. The cabins are already comparatively sate. Tae Etxcrton or Grntran.
