It is a 'most fearful and unmanageable disease. We learn that the Governor and General linger -will take all means in. their power to prevent keep tbo cities ot the State aa cleanly as possi ble. It is also important that every housekeeper ' kuw SHU VUntlB BUUU1U fttCJ UU IICU1I9C3 ,in the purest possible condition. llorj, Wo. II. Seward, Secretary of State : Sir : In the absence of the Surgeon General, . mJ have the honor to acknowledge - the receipt of your communication ot the z4lh instant, en closing dispatch from Mr Morris, Minister Res . ident of the United ' States at Constantinople, relative to the ravages of the Cholara in that . quarter, &c., and would most respectfully re . commend that the attention of the Governors of - States be invited J.o the facts contained therein, . with a view to the prompt establishment of rigid quarantine regulations, to prevent, if pos sible, the introduction of Cholera into this ; country. The dispatch from Mr Morris, and enclosed ; paper; are herewith respectfully returned. Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, - C. II. CRANE, Acting Surgeon General. - - Lryationof U. IS. of America,") Constantinople, j Hon. Woi. II. Seward, Secretary of State: Sir : I have the honor to acknowledge the re- ceipt of despatch, No. 90." I regret being obliged to state that the Cholera continues to extend its ravages, notwithstanding ' : the efforts making by the government to arrest its progress. Wbatev'er may bo the opinion of . medical men, it is evident that it is propagated by contagiou, as it fixed itself in the locality where the first deaths from an Egyptian man-of- war took place, and has thence gradually ex tended itself over the Christian quarter of Pera, end through Stauiboul, (Constantinople proper.) In the" most infected region, Cassiui Pache, . where it originally broke out a quarter inhab--. ited chiefly by workmen connected with the navy yard, and situated in a low valley, encom '. passud by high hills, with imperfect drainage it has been very fatal, having attacked almost - the entire population. Such have been its rav ages there that the Government has ordered all the large khans and buildings occupied by many persons together, to be vacated, and has provi ded tents for them on the heights surrounding the city. at first, the introduction of the Cholera from Egypt might have been prevented It seems to me, from our experience here, that it will be advisable in the. United States to guard against it.'bv the mnst rioi J nnarantine rpcnlations. - J cr i o Otherwise, if it once enters the country, it will be very fatal, in consequence of the great, desti tution prevailing in Virginia and other of the . Southern States, and of the diseases which al . (rays follow in the train of war. The published number pf deaths per day now , is about one hundred and sixty, but they arc . known to largely exceed that number. The . it hole number of deaths from the origin of the v disease to the present time is about two thousand. A great panic' prevai's among the population, . particularly the Christian portion of it, and peo ple arc fleeing by thousands in every direction from the city. It is hoped, however, that the . sanitary measures adopted by the Government, ; and pursued with great energy, will, have the , f fleet sooner or later to arrest the epidemic. With great respect, your ob't serv't," . . - E JOY MOKKIS. . THE CHOLERA. To the Editor of the Levant Herald : Sir : During the prevalence- of the Cholera ;Mortus in the different parts of Turkey, any .remarks that may tend to the better knowledge' of the mysterious disease and its development : may be acceptable, and I have therefore taken the liberty of addressing you the following, the result of my observations :,. Cholera canjbe communicated . 1. By persons direct, who carry the seeds of ..the disease (or vitiated air) with them. 2. Jy clothes or other articles used by the sick. -3. By infected vessels or lazarettos, which, fthough isolated, are loo nearliealthy towns, and ; these generating vitiated air, it soon .passes the . , imaginary boundaries of quarantine. ;Ic- proof of these assertions I may remark 1st. The Cholera in the present instance was" 'introduced in Arabia by pilgrims from India, bringing with tbcm the seeds of the disease. It did not develop itself until the period of the Courban-Bairam, when the thousands of animals .sacrificed, of every size, from a camel dowuwards, were left to putrefy; the effluvium, combined .with the ascent of the holy hill by .the pilgrims, bare-headed, in a burning tropical sun, and the ..free use of all kinds of unwholesome fruits and .vegetables, was immediately succeeded by the .outbreak of the disease. At Djeddah it assmned .u comparatively mild form, only ten per cent of .the cases proving fatal. The pilgrims on their passage through Egypt communicated the dis ease, which unfortunately proved to be of a more fatar type.' . The Cholera was also introduced into Turkey, .at the commencement of the Crimean war, by a - French steamer with troops from Algiers. On icr arrival at Gallipoli it was whispered a few cases had occurred during the voyage. The troops-were, however, landed; in a few days Cholera raged, and the French lost upwards of - 2,000 meu from the' disease in this town alone. From Gallipoli the disease was introduced into i;the French hospital at Abydos by a few patients ', -attacked with the malady sent from-thence. ; Nearly . the whole of the other patients were ..shortly .alter taken with Cholera. JM. Tha disease from Abydos hospital was , communicatgd to the Dardanelles. The first .'persons attacked were the washerwoman, and her daughter, who washed the dirty linen sent to them from the .hosDital. - Thev died and the Vinalady soon spread in the town. .3d. During the present outbreak ot Cholera . the precaution of. placing in quarantine the ves sels and passengers from Alexandria has not ; prevented the .malady from spreading beyond the vessels and boundaries of the lazarettos, as .instanced at Constantinople, Smyrna and the Dardanelles, where it commenced chiefly in the immediate- neighborhood of the lazaretto.. . It is certain the Egyptian. frigate should never have u Deen aammca into we vieinuy wi ironstanuno - jle, nor the steamers from Alexandria allowed ' ito anchor near Smyrna or the Dardanelles, still Jess the passengers landed in the different laza rettos. Security, as far as we can judge of this mysterious malady, can only be attained by an early attention in preventing -vessels from in fected places performing their quarantine near healthy towns; for, although the . disease may not develop itself with the same intensity in one place as another, owing.to atmospheric and other canses, still there is no doubt that QLclera can "ie communicated when the vicinity is too close, through the medium of the air, malgre quaran tine and all its present regulations. '- Some distant point should have been chosen for the complete isolation of vessels coming from Alexandria, and there to perform their quaran tine; for instance, one of the numerous islands of the .Archipelago, far away from any of .the thickly populated towns in Turkey. - I am-, &c , F. C. Dardanelles, July 26. From the Washington Chronicle of the 12th. THE P .RESIDENT'S VIEWS. lie Trusts the SoiCth Does not Believe in Sensation Letter Writers and Editors. Yesterday morning a delegation of Southern ers, numbering some fifty, persons, representing seven States Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas, Virginia, and Tennessee called on President Johnson, for the purpose of paying their respects and expressing" their con fidence in bis Administration, and returning thanks for the lenient course he Las pursued to ward their respective States. The delegation was introduced to the Presi dent at about 10 o'clock, and, after the usual courtesies, Hon. W. II. Macfarlaod, of Virginia, addressed the President, in substance as fol lows : It became his agreeable and pleasant duty t9 say that they called upon him to assure him of their personal regard, and their confidence in his purpose to administer the Government upon the highest principles of wisdom and mature statesmanship; confident that his policy would be earnestly sustained by the entire South, and that devotion to the Union and free institutions wouldever characterize all their political and personal acts; and it was their purpose ever cheerfully and earnestly to support him and his administration of the General Government, and in making ths pledge as gentlemen, they had a right to demand full credence for their sincerity. In behalf of the South, he thanked the Presi dent for the leniency that had been shown them, and expressed the thought that whatever may be said to the contrary, the purpose and object of the entire South, he felt assured, was, for restoration and peace upon the basis of the Union of the States. After Mr Macfarland had concluded his re marks, President Johnson replied eloquently, expressing gratification at having so large a del egation of Southerners call upon him. He said. he could not find language adequate to express the deep gratification he felt at the visit : - He spoke of his antecedent position before the civil war; he had urged his Southern .breth ren to remain in the Union, and there to con tend for their Constitutional rights. He felt it was their only safety and protection. ' He bad always been lor the recognition of all the con stitutional rights of the slave-owning States, and"believed they could have been preserved in the Union, if the issue had been made in the forum instead of in the field. ' He himself had been a slave-holder, but he had made up his mind if the issue ever narrowed itself down to the Union and slavery, that slavery must go, and the Union be saved. . He said he had confidence in; their devotion to the restoration of the Union and professions of loyalty so generally evideuced, and he was assured that the disposition was to aid in build ing up the waste places of the South, and re storing peace, happiness, good will and union.' He did not believe the sensation letter writers and editors who were endeavoring to create the impression that there existed in the South dis affection and dissatisfaction, for the presence ot so many eminent and distinguished gentlemen, representing such a "large constituency, fully disproved the fact. He said he had confidence in the professions of the people of the South and of their purpose to restore the Union upon the principles of the Constitution, aBd he hoped and helieved they were ready to come up and rajly around the Union and the Constitution. The fequ existing was a faniily quarrel, and the ties of friendship, now it was ended, he trusted would be stronger and more enduring than ever. He said the mission of this great people was high and holy, and in the Union on ly could the purposes of its people and free gov ernment be administered. The President continued in an eloquent man ner to refer to the existing condition of public affairs, and the future grandeur of tlrf mighty nation, when the fraternity between the diff erent scctious of the Union is fully restored. Northern Testimony. Jt- is clear that there is to be no reunion of the Methodist Church, with their Northern brethren, on the score of the radicalism of the latter, and the tendency of its ministers to preach partizan and sectional politics, rather than the pure Gospel of Christ. The Northern Methodists may deny, that allegation, but the experiences of. the past four years, and every day's observation even now, teui.bu.t to confirm the truthfulness of it. The Northern Methodist pulpit during the .war, set up. for itself a new god, and a stranger go ing in among them might almost be tempted to believe that that god was the 'Negro," and not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. These are factsr--but it will do no good to blink them. A7. Y. Express. Very few of our readers have any idea of the number of first-class ocean ttearoers which, re leafed from Government service since the end of the war, have been bought by private indi viduals aad companies, and are now engaged in .the carrying trade between New York and the various Southern cities. There are now plying betweeu New -York and New Orleans thirty-three ocean steamers ; Charleston,, eleven; Wilmington, nine; Savan nah, nine; Mobile, six; Newbern, six; Rich mond, five. Galveston four, &c &c, &c. " There are at this time more than one hundred strong, riw and well-built steamers enlaced in this bos-' . ' - ..... " " O J inrss, witn an aggregate tonnage or iio,u.

No estimate is here made of the trade i of Baltimore. Philadelphia, Providence, Boston, J &o , with Jhe South . Specie Going- South. The New York Commercial says : We have the best authority for believing that the "amount of specie sent South, overland," has for late 'weeks averaged nearly one million dollars per week. . - ; : HEPUDIATION. OP PKIVATE DEBTS It is greatly to be regretted that so much has been said in North Carolina, about the repudia tion of private debts and contracts between the citizens, with which the State and the counties have no connection. The subject seems to have gone into general discussion, and every man ap pears to have been called on to make up his miud. Many, no doubt, have been entirely honest in their motives, whilst some have agi- : tated the subject to gain political promotion, j and otberir have had no. better object in view than to bring about an easy mode of paying their enormous debts. It is very singular that this subject should be brought up and discussed at thw time, when elections for the Convention are to take place. The Convention most certainly has no-power to repudiate private d.ebts or private contracts. lne legislature will have none. That no State shall have power to change the obligation of contracts, is expressly stated in the Constitu- uon or tne united otates. it tne States ever had" any such power, they parted with iuwhen tbo general government was founded. Thete is no power to interfere with private contracts outside of Congress. That body has the power to pass a general bankrupt law, and it has done so heretofore. Rut it has never passed such a law, without compelling the debtor to give up all his property. When a man runs as candidate for the Convention, or for the Leg islature, and urges his election on the grounds that he is in favor of repudiating private debts and private contracts, be promises to do what1 he will have no" power to perform. He promises to do that which the, Constitution says he shall not do. If such a man were to be elected, he would have no more power to repudiate private contracts; than "he would -have if he were not elected, because when he'took his s'eat in the Convention, or in the Legislature, he would be compelled to take an oath to support the Con stitution of the United States', and that Constitu tion deprives the Convention's and Legislatures ot the States from passing any such laws. After he had taken that oath, which he would have to do before he could act as a member of either body, he would violate his oath by such a vote. As long as he remains at home he can advocate such repudiation, but when he shall have been elected and taken the oath of office, he deprives himself of that right. No member of a legisla tive body has the right to vote and cast influence in favor of violating a constitution that he has just ewom to support. - The injustice of such a law must be apparent. It is fair to be presumed that every man has had what he supposed was a valuable consideration for every debt he owes. He owes his neighbor a debt, because his neighbor sold him property, and gave feim time to pay or it, instead of ex acting the cash. If he does not pay the debt he takes that much of his neighbor's earnings for nothing. . - ' The demoralization of such discussions is very injurious to any community. It causes men to suspect and distrust each other, so that no man will havo credit to use in the day of need. The low standing of men who refuse to pay their debts, and seek out expedients to shun the per formance of their contracts, is well known to us all. No man denies but they are justly avoided by all right minded "men And it is to this very low and degraded position, that fnen'are bringing whole communities and States, when they advocate and advise the repudiation cf pri vate debts. It is too plain and too evident to all to need argument or illustration. A man who will not pay his honest debts, has always been regarded in North. Carolina as a nuisance and a pest to good society and to good morals, and it is to bo hoped that nidrals and society will never sink so low, as to raise the standing of these blood-suckers and scape-graces, who live by the labor of honest, unsuspecting men, and take the food out of the mouth of unprotected widows and orphans Raleigh Standard: A Black Editor's Opinion. "Tho Black Republican" is a newspaper in New Orleans, edited by a colored man (a clergyman,) who it would seem from the following does not think that the elevation of his brethren is to be ac complished by voting' and tax-paying : "The colored man and the white man cannot live to gether in this country, they must, and will have to separate unless the Congress of the nation will give them a place for themselves, for, as it was with Abraham and Lot, so it is with us, and the sooner we seek a home for our rising gene ration, tie better it will be for us. . Our final destiny, so far as I can dimly see, is that in three hundred, years it will be a rare thing to see a colored man'in this country. Like the Indian, our race is'destiji'ed to become extinct, in this country, unless weniov.e ourselves." President Johnson and the. Property Already Confiscated. A telegram from Washington, says : . "It is stated here, on the very best authority, that President Johnson lately made the impor tant declaration to the Alabama delegation, who complained to him of the blighting effect of the proceedings in confiscation iu that State, . that 'no confiscation could take place, or have a legal effect, except after a legal conviction of the par ties for treason.' If this be true, this decision will have the effect to upset and. render null and void every act of confiscation that has been enforced' at the South, as in no case have parties been previously tripd and convicted of treason. "It is also stated that Chief Justice Chase has expressed the same opinion'. . - - : Fall Fashions initio York.

Editors: Reluctant as I have al ways been to appear in public prints, an Edito rial in the Standard of this morning requires that I should do so in vindication of my charac ter, against which direct imputations have been made as to the facts and circumstances attend ing the procurement of my pardon from the President. ' - I shall, therefore, briefly state all the facts as they occurred, and J am satisfied my statement will b3 confirmed in every respect by Dr Haw kins, W. W. Seaton, Esq., and Pr Cottman, of Louisiana', to whom I beg leave to refer. On reaching Washington, having but few Ac quaintances thefe, I waited on my old friend and acquaintance, Mr beaton, who, though re tired from publio life, very readily consented to accompany me to the President, and appointed the hour of twelve o'clock to meet at Willard's On reaching the hotel Mr Seaton met with an ohffriend-, Dr. Cottman, of Louisiana, to whom he introduced Dr. Hawkins and myself, and who, be informed us, was well acquainted with the President, and would render us any service ia his power.' Dr. C. kindly consented to ac company us. We first went to the office of the Attorney General to look for our papers, that being the only place of deposit in the city. The clerk very politely and diligently searched for them, but they were not to be found. Mr Wm. S. Mason, whom 1 met there, heard me say that our papers were not to be found, and he observed -that there was a private register kept, by a clerk in one of the departments, from whom he could ascertain whether they had been for warded, to which I replied I would be cry glad if he would da so, but he said it could not .be ascertained until after dinner. . Dr. Cottman thereupon insisted that I should sit down and write another application, stating as shortly as possible the facta, of my having made an application, and that the papers were oot to be found. Being furnished with pen, ink and paper, I did so,-antl wrote an applica tion of which the following is a copy : To - Mis Excellency, Andrew Johnston, Presi dent oj the United' States of America: The petition of George W. Mordecai, of the City of Raleigh, and State of North Carolina, aged sixty-four years, respectfully sheweth that he handed in his application for pardon about one month or six weeks ago, to Gov. Holden, of North Carolina, and was informed that his application- had been forwarded to Washington that he came on for the purpose of finding his application, but upon examining the papers in the office be has not been able tu find it he is very anxious to have the same acted on as speed ily as possible, and now desires to renew his ap plication. He comes witnin.the thirteenth ex ception of the President's proclamation, and prays that the Executive clemency may be ex tended to him. Geo. W. Mordecai. . Washington, Aug. 11th, 1865. I also wrote a similar one for Dr. Hawkins. We all then went to the President's where W found the Cabinet in . session, and remained there until four o'clock before we could obtain an interview. I informed the President of the object of our visit, that we had been informed that our papers had been forwarded, but upon examination they were not to be found in the proper office, and that by the advice of friends 1 bad prepared another one which I bande'd to him. Neither Dr. Hawkins- nor myself said anything about the action of the Governor upon our application, ior we. uaa no rignt to Know, and did not know what tbataction was. The President,- upon the papers .being handed to him, observed that they had not the oath of amnesty attached, and directed that should be done. We did so, and the next day the papers were handd to him. He endorsed them, and we were directed to take them to the Attorney General's office, where a requisition .was made out for both of us, and our pardons were issued. . I should, -perhaps, state that we accidently met Dr. Powell in the east room at the Presi dent's on our last visit:' We were introduced to him, and the usual civilities passed, the Dr. politely tendering bis services to us; but as we had no occasion for. them,. he was not called on, and we saw no more of hi nr. As some insinuations have been made about bribery, I 'deem it due to Dr Hawkins and my self to state that we had no intercourse upon the subject of our pardons with any other persons than Mr Seaton and Dr Cottman, and their high character renders it unnecessary to say that no improper means were used by us in procuring them. I regret Dr. Hawkins absence prevents my kubnjitiing this statement to him for his concur rence, and request its immediate publication in jour paper as an act of justice to hiai as well as myself. GEO. Y. 3IORDEUAI. A recent order of Lt Col. Tjler, published in the Newberry Herald, (says the Winnsboro' S. C. News,) prohibits all persons from demand ing or receiving a greater discount on U.JS. Treasury Notes than forty three per cent. "All infractions or attempts at evasion of this order will be severely dealt with." ..... . y- MISSISSIPPI. '"The militia difficulty ia .Mississippi," ire are most happy to say, no longer threatens to retard the work of reconstruction in that State. Governor Sharkey having ordered the re organi zation of the State militia for the suppression of organized bands of robbers, his orders were countermanded by the Federal General in com mand in that State, and the endorsation of that officer's course by Mr Secretary Stanton, led many to believe that the. action of Governor f Sharkey, hacf not met the approval of President Johnson. The extract from a fetter or Presi dent Johnson, which we publish elsewhere, set- j ties the whelo question, and will be bailed with joy by the people or the boutb. lie lavors the re organization of the militia, tire withdrawal, to a great extent, of the 'forces of the United States, and "wishes the people to come forward in the defence of the State and Federal govern ments. He says most emphatically, "The people must be trusted with their government, and if trusted, my opinion is they will act in good faith, and restore their former constitu tionai relations with all tne ctates composing the Union." These are noble words, and sound the death knell of Radical misrule, usuipation and oppression. The President says, moreover, that he "requires the military to aid the Pro vis ional Governor in the performance of bis dcties, as prescribed in his proclamation, and in no manner to interfere or throw impediments in the way of tlw consummation of the object ot. his appointment." The letter merits careful peru sal, and proves that the President is worthy of our confidence and most cordial support. Kich mond Times. . - - Life in Pittsburg. Pittsburg is a queer place.
