As soon as the members of the convention met t in Raleigh, the vesy same men who have persuad ed Jonathan Worth to run for governor, day after day, we learn, and night after night for two weeks, persuaded and beset Hon. Edwin Reade, General Dockory, Colonel Bedford Brown, John Pool, LewU Thompson, Hon. R. 8. Donnell and other prominent union men to permit their names to be used for that purpose. Each of these gentlemen positively refused, time after time, to permit themselves to be used for any such pur pose, saying that their names should not be used to foment dissensions and divisions in the union party, at such a time as this, when our only hope was to sustain President Johnson's policy. That he had selected Governor Holden; it was the duty of the union party to unite on the president and the governor. After all these gentlemen had so often refused, Mr. Worth is applied to by these same men, and yields to their solicitations, and now claims to be the candidate of the union party. No claim can be more false or absurd. He claims to be the candidate of the union party, when these great union leaders have refused the position he occu- but Mr. Lindsay confesses a low. , Lords Wharn cliffe, Pencuck and Afaoyd deny that they had any ixitettirt faf the loan y and Mr.- Sampson, city editor of the Times, says they declined to accept the preferred allotments, when tbe loan was in troduced. . . - Tb Amexi axlaateMry Clurlstlmn ; city; , -J-X - CnroxariTi.Oct. 19.

Wil" kinson,' a young man but recently located in this city, from his store, several days ago, and whose whereabouts has caused his friends and acquain tances so much anxiety. Mr. Wilkinson carried off in his possession the key to the' iron safe be longing to his uncle, Mr. J. Wilkinson, the broker. Not hearing of him since he was seen across the Weldoh railroad, on the day of his leaving the store, it was thought that sufficient time had in teryenea, ana as no Dusmess coma oe transacted by his uncle "without access to the safe, to have the safe broken open, and on yesterday afternoon it was ? accordingly done, when, to the astonish ment of every one, it was found to have been robbed of about fifteen thousand dollars, a large pertion of which was in specie- one package alone containing six thousand dollars. The mys tery of the disappearance of the young man was at once solved. He had taken the money, locked the safe and decamped with the key in his pocket. Mr. Wilkinson came here some time ago, and was engaged with Cutter & French, as salesman, and, by his gentlemanly actions and manner, had made many personal friends. He was connected, I by marriage, with a family of, high reputation in New York City, and his own immediate connec tions hold none the less high position m society His uncle here is looked upon as one of the best and most reliable of our citizens, none holding a higher position for honor and everything that is connected with a gentleman. The action of this young man nas completely aumDiounaea every one, as the beliet had obtamea lull confidence that he had walked away while sunenng from an aberation of mind, as he had left a large amount of money in the show window, in mM-day with no one about the store. The greater portion of- the money taken be longed to his uncle, and a small amount was on deposit. The facjts are almost heart-breaking to his friends, and were there not so manv unrelia ble rumors afloat in regard to the affair, it would be. considered a duty due the family connection to withhold any mention of. it to the public. The above may be reied on as the, true facts of the case. - Hotel Arrivals. CITY HOTEL, OCTOBER 23, 1865.

To-inorrow morning the republican govern ment of Mexico will open an agency here to place in the market a loan of thirty millions of dollars, with interest payable semi-annually in gold. It is said that a large amount has already been pledged. From Kentucky. Louisville, Oct. 22. The president has approved the action of Gen. Thomas relating to General Palmer. The secre tary of war has approved General Palmer's ac tion in regard to granting passes to colored persons. party at this time. These gentlemen and fifty other strong and reliable union members of the convention, opposed Mr. Worth, and still he claims to be the union candidate. It is very ri diculous and very untrue to suppose a union can didate for governor would be selected, when these vien were present, and did not concur, but were protesting against it. Who are the men that can underhandedly nominate a union can didate for governor in the presence of these men, without their concurrence and against their solemn protestations 1 Ought not sueh men as these to have a voice in selecting a union candi date for so important an office. The fact is Mr. Worth is the candidate of a few disaffected union men, who unite with the seces sionists. Every man in North Carolina, who is a secessionist at heart, will vote for Jonathan Worth. They are united on him. He is their candidate, and if he is elected, all the offices in North Carolina will be filled with secessionists, and we shall again be ruled and ruined by these same secessionists. They have made themselves so odious to our citizens, that they dare not run a secession candidate, but the disaffected union men and the secessionists have selected a union man ahd call him a union candidate. He may be a union man, bnt he is the secession can didate, he is a sheep kading a flock of wolves; he is the cat m the meal tub. He is totally opposed to the policy of President Johnson in declaring that all offices in the re bellious states, have been made void by the re bellion of the officers, and because they took the oath of allegiance to the Confederate government. Mr. Worth totally and entirely opposed this pol icy, and used all his power to retain every North Carolina officer in his position. He now strongly favors the payment of the North Carolina state debt made in aid of the rebellion, while Presi dent Johnson declares that the loyal men of the state shall not be taxed to pay this debt. ization to be powerful, and under skilful leaders. Financial matters are being considered, and subscriptions to the loan will be commenced. Champ Ferguson Preparation for his Execution. Nashtille, Oct. 19.

My duties havebeen, in many respects, new, unusual and onerous. I had no lights to guide me in the work of reorganizing and reconstruct ing an American state, save the instructions" re ceived from time to time from the president ; and necessarily, ; those instructions have been only of a general character. My paramount concern has been, so to do that part of the ? work assigned to me as to secure the restoration of the state to the union at the earliest practicable period. To what extent I nave succeeded in this respect i t is for the people to say. I can only declare, as I most solemnly do,-5 that I have labored with an eye single to thfr good and the glory of North Caro lina;5 and thatt whatever may be the decision of Uie people on the 9th of November, I shall al ways possess the consciousness that I am a faith ful and devoted son : of our dear! old state, and that I have labored with zeal, and with what suc cess my poor faculties could command, to im- , 23. trans- Dlplomatic Correspondence.

A Constantinople correspondent of the Wash ington Chronicle writes as follows : Wherever there were open sewers, masses of filth and other such sources of infection, the cholera reaped a harvest of death, and was com paratively light in elevated, clean, and well aired localities. At one end of the artillery parade ground on the verge of Pera, the municipality have caused to be deposited all the accumulated tilth of this quarter of the city. Thither the scavenger carts daily carry their contents. An immense mass has thus been gathered together, which, from its position in the midst of thickly inhabited localities, is always dangerous to the public health. On the 11th of August the first rain during the cholera period fell. It was of a few hours' duration, but poured in torrents. On the following day it was followed by a sullen, fiery atmosphere, and a wind which, crossing this field of garbage, bore directly on theJGreek quar ter ol latavia, laying on the slope oi a hill on the opposite side of an intervening ravine. This wind came up in the morning, while the popula tion were all at church celebrating a religious fete. After returning to their dwellings, a quar ter of an hour had hardly elapsed before the in habitants of the streets of Tatavia, on the side the wind was blowing, were all attacked by vio lent cholics, followed by violent vomiting, diar rhoea, and the most painful cramps. In an in stant crowds might be seen running to the drug gists, some half dressed, others bare-headed, and all in a state of the greatest consternation Two hours later the harvest of death began, and in the evening of this day seventy-five died. One of the first houses attacked was that of a very rich architect, Maltestates, in the street Akurdja. Whilst he himself was dragging away his dead son by the feet to conceal his death from his sis ters, they were suddenly attacked, and in twenty four hours the whole family of six persons, in cluding the father, were in their graves. Such was the corruption of the atmosphare that the doultry were all struck dead, and phos phorus matches decomposed and would not ig- nite. By the third day, of the fourteen hundred inhabitants of Tatavia, of five hundred and ten persons attacked by the cholera, four hundred and twentv-five died nearly one-third of the whole population. With but few exceptions, every case proved mortal in two or three hours after the attack. This great mortality is to be attributed to the fact thaf the rain set in fermen tation the foul mass of filth on the opposite side of the ravine, the effluvia of which combining with a cholera infected atmosphere, was borne by the wind directly against Tatavia, for tbe first time infected upon it the scourge oi tne cholera for, up to this date, it had not suffered from the epidemic. When the wind changed the cholera disappeared. I mention this fact to admonish you of the itecessity of isolating tne city sewer arge from the vicinity of populated centres, as well as other deposits of filth, as they are fruit ful sources of filth m time of cholera.
