The Democratic Convention absembled hero to-day, a id spent the timo in considering cre dentials. gKrom ilichmond Vitglnia Legislature. Bichmom, Va , Oct. 7 P. M. In the Senate to-day the protest of the Repub lican caucus 8gainst the legality of tho body was taken up and read at length. It announces that the Republican members reserve to themselves the right at any timo to secede from the present Legislature and organize, by themselves, a legal and loyal legislature. The Senate votod to lay it on the table. Governor Walker sent in hi? message in regard to the Fifteenth mendoient, in which he says : "The people of thio Commonwealth, at the late election, by an overwelmiug majority, accepted and adopted the principle sought to be incor porated into the Federal Constitution by this Amendment, viz : 'The civil and political equality of all men before the law.' The woll known honor and integrity of tho people of Virginia forbid even the supposition that they would fail to faith fully advocate and to maintain, while necessary and possible, any principle to which they had yielded their adherence. Virginia always fulfills in the most ample and good faith all her pledges. But our people, by this action, have not only placed the political rights of all our citzens upon a firm and endcuing basis, they have accom plished much more. They have increased pro spectively the power and influence of oar State in National Councils by broadening the basis of rep resentation. Under the Fourteenth Article of the Consti tution of the United States, when in any State the right of suffrage is abridged, except for crime, the basis of representation must be re duced in a corresponding proportion, although we have wisely settled this question so far as our State is concerned, and banished forever from the theatre of State politics this prolific source of irritation and discord thero is reasonable ground for apprehension that if tho Fifteenth Amend ment should fail of adoption as a part of the Federal Constitution our State may bo flooded with and the control thereof paes into the hands of a class of emigrants from the great States ly ing upon or near our borders, who will seek the employment of those civil and political rights ac corded to them here, but denied to them there. Self-protection, therefore, demands that we do our part towards securing the ratification of that Amendment, our interests require it and our faith is pledged to it. He considers the election of Senators clearly a requisite to admission, and adds: Complete restoration is accomplished by admission to representation in Congress and there can be no question that admission to repre sentation may. to some extent, depend upon the representatives elected, while the election of Senators would folly complete bvery preparation necessary foi tha prompt admission of the State to representation iu both Houses of Congress. The election of suitable men for those exalted positions would unmistakably demonstrate the sincerity of our past actiou and afford a sure guarantee of our intentions and purposes for the fature. "In conclusion he says, permit me to congratu late you upon the progress already made towards the restoration of the State to civil government. Its good effects are already visible everywhere within the State. Mining and manufacturing en terprises are being organized, capital is seeking investment in our rich agricultural and mineral lands, and above and mora gratifying than all, Joy and hope are taking tho place of gloom and despondency. Peace and prosperity are once more dawning upon our desolated lam?. Con scious of the reotitude of our own acts, motives and intentions, and relying upon the continued favor ot tho Almighty disposer of human events, let us all manfully grapple with the living pre sent, and confidently hopo for a glorious future for the commonwealth. " Respectfully, Gilbert O. Walkeb." The Legislature adjourned after tho reading of the Governor's message. The Governor, in his message, expresses his conviction that the Legislature would ratify the Fifteenth Amendment voluntarily, and even if it was not a requisite to admission. He commends the appointments at the session of the standing committees, in view of tho fact that our educa tional and judiciary systems must bo remod elled and placed in harmony with the Constitu tion, and our internal improvements demand the gravest consideration. The caucus of the Conservative members of the Legislature to-night, resolved to adopt the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendment at once. Iu the joint committee on the Governor's Mes sage to-day, a proposition by Snowden, of Alex andria, to add to the bill pacing the Fifteenth Amendment, a clause showing that it was done because it was requisite to the admission of the State, was rejected, only two of tho committee voting in favor of it. An amendment will be offered in the House to make the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment conditional on the admission of the State. This proposition had no friends in the caucus to-night. A caucus on the Senatorial qaestioa will bo held to morrow night. From llicnmond Passag of tue lttto. and 15th Amendments by the Legislature. Richmond, Ya., Oct.".8 Noon. Both Houses of the Legislature to-day ratified the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. In the House there were only six votes against them, and in the 8enate only four against the 14th and two against the J5th. One of these votes given against the 15th was a colored Republican Senator, who declined voting because he considered the Legislature an illegal body. The Legislature by a joint vote then adjourned 'till 18th October. In the House an amendment to the bill passing the 15th amendment was offered, nuking it take WILMINGTON, N. C, FRIDAY MORNING, effect on and after tha admission of the State into the Union, only received four votes. In the same body a resolution was offered that iu view of doubt expressed about the legality of this Legislature, it will, after its admission into tho Union, re-enact tho 11th and 15lh amend ments. The resolution was referred.

Mr. Burton takes this step in order to enter more thoroughly upon the practice of the legal profession. We wish him a career of unbounded success. State Fair. We aro pleased to learn from various sources the great interest taken by our people in the approaching State Fair. A great many leading citizens in all sections have accepted the appoint ment of Judges in tho competition for premiums, and those who decline, ou ac count of the simultaneous happening of the terms of the Superior Courts in their counties, express tho livliest interest in the success of the Agricultural Society. We commend the foresight and economy of fifteen citizens of Salem, who have al ready written to Dr. Smith, tho Corres ponding Secretary, to procure for them good shelter, it being their intention to bring their lodging and provisions, and board themselves. It is needless to say that the Doctor has accommodated them. The exhibition of articles will bo good. We aro gratified to hoar that Edgecombe will compete with Meckleuburg with u bale of cotton, and we hope some of onr Wake friends will not decline tho challenge. The Fair will begin on the 19th of Oc tober. Raleigh Sentinel. Mail from Fayettevllle to Shoe Heel. A petition was forwarded to the postof fice department, Washington, some time since, asking the re-establishment of mail service on the old route from Fayetteville to Cheraw, S. C. This petition was sent up through the hands of Hon. O. H. Dock ery, our Representative in Congress, and with his approval. A letter was received a few days since from Coi. Dockery, from which we quote a sentence or two for in formation to those interested in this mat ter. He says: "Gen. Smith, the 2d Assist. P. M. Gen eral, agrees to give you a weekly service from Fayetteville to Shoe Heel provided a suitable bid goes up. The Department pays only ten dollars per mile for such weekly service, one way at that only. I would suggest that you call attention to this proposal, and let bids bo forwarded, calling for Postoffies and distances and in no event over the above sum and I will promise to attend in person to this matter early in onr next session, and secure, if possible, additional service and increased pay ; the probabilities of which will de pend on the amount of business done, &c, fcc." It is hoped that this sorvice will be se cured. "A Lidf loaf is better than no broad." Col. Dockery will forward any bids that may be tendered. The region of country that this route would supply needs additional mail facilities very much. Fayetteville Presbyterian. Capt. John Ivey.

We are not aware of any further or definite progress in this en terprise. We learn that A. J. Jones, Presi dent of the Western Railroad, is with the surveying party now engaged on the Salisbury route, and that the surveys will be reported by the last of this month, after which the managers of the road will decide what to do, The Salisbury route is getting more into favor, and it is now thought the upper counties on this route are willing to supply the deficiency in the State appro priation, and complete the road to Salis bury.

Effects of the Rain in Baltimore and Elsewhere The amount of damage caused by tho flood of Sunday night along the line of Jones's Falls was discovered yesterday not to have been so great as was anticipated, many persons having taken the precaution to get all their valuables out of harm's way. Centre-street bridge was carried away, and Pratt-street bridge and the drawbridge arc considerably injured by tho dredging ma chines which were wrecked against them. The damages to tho city will probably be over a hundred thousand dollars, while pri vate individuals lose from sixty to seventy five thousand, as nearly as can be estimated. The flood was general along all the water courses in the vicinity of the city, and from Baltimore, Howard, and Aune Arundel counties, there aro many reports of losses of property by the water. Tho Baltimore and Ohio railroad is washed away in the vicinity of Ely8ville, and no trains passed over the road yesterday. Tho Northern Central was damaged at various points, but repairswero promptly made, and the trains will run as usual to-day. The Country along the Washington Branch is inundated, but the road is unhurt. Philadelphia has experi enced a terrible and destructive freshet in the Schuylkill, the river spreadiug over many blocks of houses on either bank and sweeping everything before it. Houses and railroad cars have been washed oil' and several lives lost. The railroad bridge at Gray's Ferry was washed out, cutting oft" railroad communication between Balti more and Philadelphia. Passengers from tho North, who were due hero yesterday afternoon, were transferred from Philadel phia to Wilmington, Delaware, by steamer and thence to Baltimore by rail, arriving here late last night. From central and eastern Pennsylvania and New York tele grams tell one unbroken Btory of great Hoods in all the streams and of buildings of every sort on their shores being destroyed by the torrents. Railroad travel in these localities has boon entirely cut off, bridges and track being aliko carried away by the waters. In the distance that it covered, the storm appears to have been one of the most disastrous that ever hap pened. Baltimore American 5th. Cistern Water. A correspondent of the New York Re public, writing from Yorktown, thus speaks of our standard drinking water, and also remarks on the deleterious effects on the system by the use of well water : Another point should be borne in mind by every one intending to locate within one hundred miles of the seacoast ; or in any place where malarial diseases prevail. It is, under no consideration use spring or well water for drinking purposes. This rule is habitually violated, and, as a con sequence, nine out of every ten persons are more or less affected by the diseases of the climate. It is a well established fact that these diseascsaro almost wholly caused by tho use of spring or well water; and the remedy is of the simplest ; yet the persisten cy witn which this water, everywhere bear ing tho seeds of disease, is used, and the pa tience with which aguo and the various form of marsh fever are borne, has no parallel out of tho dominions of tho Sultan. The remedy is a good and utuplc cistern. But simple and cheap as it is, and well estab lished as is its effect iveuesu, not ono fam ily in a hundred in the country ues ono. Consequently diseases of a malarial type aro prevalent in the Litter summer aud early fall months; and though not often fatal they have a very depressing effect, both mentally aud physically, upon all who fall under their baleful influence. In years gone by, the listless and forlorn appear ance of many inhabitants of tho pine reg ions, especially tho poorer ones, was at tributed, by zealous philanthropists, to the blighting influence of slavery, but the modern observer sees in the palid coun tenances and slovenly movements of these dwellers by the marsh and fen, only the unmistakable traces of fever and agne.

New Orleans, August 2, 1869. GeneralS. Cooper, Alexandria, Va.: DearSik : You will please excuso tho liberty which I take in trespassing upon your valuable time. I have recently been preparing, for tho Southern Historical Society, a paper upon the losses of the Confederate army, from battle, wounds and diseaso, during the civil war, 1801-5. The following general results of my investigation are most re spectfully submitted to you for examina tion and criticism : Killed, Wounded and Prisoners of the Con federate Army Baring the Wvr, 1861-'05 Year. Killed. Wounded.

According to this calculation tho deaths from disease were about three timos as numerous as those resulting from tho cas ualties of battle. The available Confederate force capa ble of active service in the field did not, during tho entire war, exceed six hundred thousand men. Of this number not more than four hundred thousand were enrolled at any ono time; and the Confederate States never had in the field more than two hundred thousand men capable of boaring arms, at any one time, exclusive of eick, wounded and disabled. If the preceding calculation be correct, we have the following figures, illustrating the losses of the Confederate armies dur ing the war: Confederate forces actively engaged, 1861-5 GQO.00O Total deaths in (J. 8. A 200,000 Losses of O, IS. A., in prisoners, '61-5, which may bo considered as total losses, on account of the polioy of non exchange by the United States 200,000 Losses of C. ti. A. by discharges, dis ability and desertion 100,000 If this calculation, which is given only as an approximation, bo correct, one third of all the men actively engaged on the Confederate side were either killed outright upon the field or died of disease and wonnds; another third of the entire number were captured and held for an in finite period in Northern prisons ; and of the remaining 400,000, at least one-half were lost to the service by discharges and desertion. At the close of the war the available force of the Confederate States numbered scarcely 100.000 effective men. Tho resolution, unsurpassed bravery and skill with which the Confederate leaders conducted this contest is shown by the fact that out of C00.000 men in the field about 500,000 were lost to the service. At the close of the war 100,000 Confed erates were opposed to one million Feder al troops. Your approval or disapproval of this calculation is most respectfully solicited. The distinguished ability with which you discharged the responsible and ardu ous duties of Adj't General of the Confed erate army, qualifies you above overy other officei of the late Confederate States to decide how far such calculations may ap proach to accuracy.

Near Alexandria, Va., i August 29, 1869. j" Dr. Joseph Jones, Secretary and Treasur er of tho Southern Historical Society, New Orleans, La. : Dear Sir: I have the honor to receive your kind and interesting letter of the 2d instant, and beg you will accept my best thanks for the same. I have closely examined your several statements in respect to the Confederate military forces during the late war, as well as the casualties incident thereto, and I have come to the conclusion from my gen eral recollection which those statements have served to enlighten, that they must be regarded as nearly critically correct. Most of the returns from which you most probably have derived your information must have passed through the files of my office in the Confederacy, and if reference could bo made to all tho records of that office, they would, I have no doubt, ena ble you to give ne u ly a complete history of the strength and operuttous of our arm ies iu detail. Tho files of that office which could best afford tbii information, were can-fully boxed up aud tk.u ou our re treat from Richmond to Charlotte, N. C, where they were finally unfortunately cap tured, and as I learn, are now in Washing ton, where they aro properly arranged in a separate building, with other records ap pertaining to the Confederacy. I presume that by proper management, reference might be had to them. Indeed, I had at one time contemplated to make an effort to renew my acquaintance with the records by a personal application to tho authori ties in Washington, but I finally abandon ed the idea. It would afford mo much incisure to fcrnish yon with the information in the tabular form you have succrcsted. but it wonld be quite impossible lor mo to do this without reference to those records. can only state from general recollection that during the two last years of the war the monthly returns of our armies received at my office exhibited the present active force in the field nearly one-half less than the returns themselves actually called for. on account of absentees by sickness, extra duty, furloughs, desertions, and other 1 square, of 10 lines or le'ss, for each and every imc-it ion, $1.

Lee, of Alba After Fifteen Years' insertion her Ilus. hand's Property la Restored to IItr-VI. uo of a Newipaper Paragraph. Our readers will remember that we pub lished on tho 11th of July last the notice of Josiah Dow, public administrator upon the estato of Aza A. Lee, deceased, and accompanied it with an editorial para graph stating the facts of Captain Lee's death in battlo during the siege of Knox villo, his long residence and respectable position in this county, tho mysterious re serve that ho had always maintained here with reference to his former life and con nections, and tho dilemma respecting the disposition of his real property under the laws of Illinois consequent upon the ab sence of any known heirs to the estate. Among the papors that we send to the East is ono to the father of Mr. Patton of this village, who lives at Candia, N. II. Ho saw tho paragraph, and happening to know a man whose sister's husband, naraed Lee, had mysteriously disappeared many years previously, he called the gentleman's attention to it. The man corresponded exactly. Investigation followed. Mr. Dow, the administrator, was written to, and from what they thus learned the parties at the East wero satisfied that the deceased Cap tain Leo was tho long-lost husband. Mrs. Loo's brother, whose name is Na thaniel B. Hall, then came to this county and put in a claim in behalf of his sister as heir to the estate. Ho exhibited a da guerreotype of Captain Lee, which Judge Hind man readily recognized, though evi dently taken when ho was several yoars 3 ounger than ho appeared hero. Among the other proofs was evidence of tho facts of the marriage of Aza A. Leo and Miss Hall, in the State of Maine, then subse quent u'ltioval to the Stnto of Now York, and hi desertion of his wife and disap pearance from there because of busines.'J enibarrussments since which not tho slightest cluo to his whereabouts had ever been gained by his family, who mourned him as dead, the general supposition hav ing been that he had drowned himself. His disappearance there was in 1855, and he must have made his way directly to Il linois, as he appeared here about that time. He lived in Anawan and Alba town ships, in thin county, both of which he re presented in tho Board of Supervisors, re ceiving several reelections. Ho acquired some property, and wan esteemed, wo are told, for intelligence and probity always somewhat qualified, however, by tho mys tery banging over his former life. NY hen the One hundred and Twelfth regiment of Illinois volunteers was organized he went with it as first lieutenant in Captain Dow's company, and on the promotion of Captain Dow to major, Lieutenant Lee rose to the rank of captain, and was killed, as related, during the siege of Knoxville. The deserted wife. left without means, had made her way back to New Kngland, where she had latterly maintained herself y working iu tho Manchester cotton mille. Now, however, by our fortunate publioa- lon of the facts in relation tolushfo nere, she finds herself suddenly restored to iroperty that she ought of right to have shared through all these years tho county court hero having accepted tho proofs of identity as satisfactory. Tho estate, after administration, consists of forty acres of and in Alba and ft.JOO to &400 of personal property. Besides, thero is due her from he Government, in back p':v and pen sions, over $1,000, and tho pension duo a captain's widow during her widowhood. A Youthful Clerk. Among tho proceedings which took place in the Senate chamber of tho Vir ginia Legislature on Tuesday the Bich mond Whig records the following: "While the roll was being called, Colo nel Walter H. Taylor, of Norfolk, (tho Ad- utant of General li. iu. Lteo during the war.) stated that his name was not on it. and proceeded to explain why it was not here. On hndmg, yesterday, that ho was one of tho seven Senators whoso certifi cates had been retained by General Canby, he went to bead quarters this morning, and on asking General Canby why this was he case, that oilieer replied that he had been informed that he was a clerk of the Circuit Court in the year 1K44. He told General Canby that ho was then only tix years old, aud convinced him that ho la bored under no disability that would pre vent him from takiug his scat as a Senator from Norfolk. General Canby thereupon said he would have his certificate forward ed to tho Secretary of tho Commonwealth. This had not yet becu done, and he was consequently unable to qualify as re quired. Mark. Twain at the Tomb of Adam. 'The tomb of Adam ! How touching it was hero in a land of strangers, far away from home and friends, and all who cared for me, thus to discover tho grave of a blood relation. True, a distant one, but still a relation. Tho unerring instinct of nature thrilled its recognition. The foun tain of my filial affection was stirred to its profoundect depths, and I gave way to tu- multuoua emotion. I leaned upon a pillar and burst into tears. I deem it no shame to have wept over the grave ol my poor dead relative. Let him who would sneer at my emotion, close this volume here, for he will find little to his taste in my jour neyinga through Hely Laud. Noblo old man he did not live to seo his child. And I I alas ! I did not live to eeo him. Weighed down by sorrow and disappoint ment, ho died beforo I was born 0,000 brief snmmers before I was born. But let us try to bear it with fortitude. Let us , trust that he is better off where he is."
