New York, Sept. 7 There were seven new cases and five deaths from the cholera reported yesterday. The reports from Brooklyn showed no material change in the disease. A meeting of the Board of Health was held yesterday, and the Sanitary Superintendent's reports showed that sixty-nine cases of eholeraiiaye been reported during the week ending yesterday. Of this number thirty were fatal. In Brooklyn there were twentyfive confirmed cases, cf vhich eighteen were fatal. The Ottawa, the pioneer steamer of the new line batween New York and the 'Baltic pffts, arrived yesterday from Copenhagen .direct, makiiig the voyage in 14 .ds7 .A - An accident occurred on the Freehold & Jamesbure Railroad, New JersejvJVednesday, whith resulted Aa the killing of one man, ana the injury oi three others, lhe train ran on the track three miles from Freehpld, and the' engine and teifder were upset, and three or four cars were smashed. a 1 m W-'t A special trom iroy last evening! sava that the (Jommittoi'oii Credentials of the Fenian Congress completed their labors at a late hour this afternoon, and that tho Congrees was fcrganized and ready for business. Gen. Murphy, of New York, was elected Speaker of the Howe, but declined the honor, when Mr. F. G. Gallagher, of Buffalo, was elected. J. 0. O?PJii0tJiBchterit4tti elected Secretary. The members of the Congress were sworn- to secrecy, and a resolution adopted forbidding the tommunieation of any of the business details of the session to the press for publication. The Congress thenadjourned to 9 o'clock to-morrow morning, when President Roberts ' addrtss will be presented. The delay m the report of the Committee on Credentials was occasioned by the appearance of certain delegates, who claijfldJ:o represent circles in Canada. Tbei credentials were scrutinized mosil?losely, but whether they were admitted or not, I am unable to learn;' One delegate is here from Prince Edward's Island. ItTjs learned from good authority that thefeeling against Gen. Sweeney is rather on the inqrease among the delegates, but it is almost impossible to predict the result of the Congressional action in his case, as the tables may.be entirely turned upon his adversaries The address of President Roberts is an able and statesman-like document, and treats of the origin and progress of the Fenian brotherhood, from its conception to the preserit time. ' The next movement is being thoroughly discussed by the members, and knots about the hotels and streets. A dispatch from Topeka, Kansas, says it is reported from Fort Sarah Junction of Fort Riley and smoky roads, that seventy Cheyenne Indians have started from Picket Town settlement, Colorado, to recapture two children taken from the Indians in the South Creek affair, and then clear the Smoky Hill route ot al! whites, while eighty-five more Cheyennes have started for the Arkansas to commit depredations there, and that they have sent invitations to the Sioux and Keowas, and Camanches, to join them and sweep the whole frontier from Kansas to Colorado. The Plattes broke up two settlements on the Solomon, and ravished a number of women. They swear that the whites shall not occupy their territory. Gen. Sherman writes that the settlements are ninety miles too far West, and that he has not the troops to protect them within 100 miles of Fort Riley, . , The stock agent of the Overland Mail Stage Company was met by a band of TPndiahs while taking out stock for the road the stock from that route before the raid. The Union State Convention have unanimously recommended the Legislature to submit the question of striking out the word white" in the State Constitution, to the people. J. Crawford was unanimously renominated for Governor, and Major U. Green for Lieut. Governor. New York, Sept. 7. The steam ship Charles A. Farewell, owned by the Union Navigation Company, took fire this morning and was burned to the water's edge and sunk while lying at the pier 36 East River. She had a full general cargo, which was also consumed. Loss $50,000 on cargo. Eight cases of cholera reported today. Only one fatal.

New York, Sept. T A Washington special says: The Bounty Com

mission have at length made their final report.' They unite in saying that after a thorough examination ot the present manner of paying the bounties, they are unable to suggest any additional safeguards or any improvements on the present method, and they recommend payments to be continued as heretofore both to widows and negro soldiers. The Tunes says: In the Alabama Legislature, August 14th, Mr. Jackson offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Public Lands to inquire into the expediency of donating 320 acres of land to each confederate soldier who, by reason of wounds received in the late war, is unable" to labor; to report by bill or otherwise. It was adopted. The guerrilla leader, Dick Hempstead, was, on Monday, captured by the Regulators, near Little Rock, Arkansas, who, after trying him and finding him guilty of eleven murders, of which he confessed, burned "him t death by a slow fire which totally surrounded his body. Mr. Jackson, Representative in the State Legislature for Jackson County, Tennessee, has brought a suit tor $10,000 against the Radical members of the House for false imprisonment. SOt'THEBX LOYALSTS' VI OX. CONVEXPhiladelphia, September 7. The Southern Convention met at 10 o'clock, when the proceedings were opened with prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Newman. There were but few delegates from border States present. Mr. Speed, of Kentucky, however, was in the chair. The President laid before the Convention a document from the Graud State Council of Pennsylvania, sending greetings to the Convention ; also similar one from the State of Illinois, endorsing the address and platform, and pledging 'Illinois to a majority of forty thous and. Mr. Newlees, of Kentucky, offered a resolution returning thanks to the Union Club of Philadelphia for its hospitality and kindness. He referred to the burning of the Club House last night! 'as an incendiary act, and re niirmrrf tne mnvcnnr.n rnar in ins speech at the Continental Hotel i jj V the had used the significant language that he wanted no Leagues, but the Constitution,, and on the strength of that hint this calamity had fallen whether or not with the Presidents knowledge or Consent, he did not intend to say. Mr. Bingham offered a resolution Complimenting the New York Tribnne tor its devotion to the cause of freedom. On motion of Mr. Anson, of Virginia the resolution was amended by adding the New York Indepaident and all other good Republican papers, 5pd then it was adopted, The Chairman presented a letter from Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, announcing his departure for home, on the ground that the businesS of the Convention was concluded yesterday. Mr. Market!, of Arkansas, rose and declared that Arkansas was not unrepresented"here, and intimated that Ks retiring colleague had been too far North, and been contaminated by My Policy." - The report of the Committee of the New Reconstructed States being about to be read, Secretary Speed retired from the Chairmanship of the Convention. In doing so he said: Gentlemen op the Convention: Having stayed here so long, I am called away by business of the utmost importance. Knowing that the general business of the Convention is through, I take my leave, as I consider the Convention incompetent to pass upon anything other than the report of the Committee on non-Reconstructed States; and it is distinctly-understood by everybody, I believe, that in that matter none are to take part except the representatives ot those States. I thank the Convention, most cordially, for the good order it has preserved aiul the assistance it has given me. I trust that our labors have been well done. I trust, and believe, from the lightning flashes that have come from California, Kansas, Chicago and other portions of the country, that we have not assembled in vain. As Mr. Speed retired, he was complimented, by the Conventien rising and giving him three cheers. John Minor Botts, of Va., then took the chair. Mr. Warmath, of La., reported back the resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Eaton, of Tenn., requesting the President of the United States to cause the publication of the report of the testimony taken before the commission appointed by Gen. Baird, in reference to the New Orleans massacre. The resolution was then adopted. Mr. Warmath then read the address prepared by the Committee of the Non-Reconstructed States. It is much longer than the previous address. A long debate ensued, when a vote was taken, which resulted as follows : ayes 66, nays 11, so the address was declared adopted. The result was loudly cheered. "A declaration of negro suffrage signed by the delegation from lennessee, who had been excluded from voting, that State being treated as one of the reconstructed, was read. Delegates from reconstructed States who were in favor of negro suffrage, were then invited to sign what was called the charter of universal freedom.

Resolutions were offered and adopted in favor of subscriptions for the publication of the proceedings of the Convention. Several other resolutions were then adopted, among them one to present Congress with a copy of the address. After prayer by the Rev. Mr. Mattison, at 3 o'clock fhe Convention adjourned sine die. THE PLATFORM. Philadelphia, Sept. 6. Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, from the Committee 6,u Resolutions, reported the following: " 1.

"14. Resolved, That remembering the precepts of Washington, we should accustom ourselves to consider the Union as the Erimary object of patriots' tesire, which as heretofore sustained us with great power, in our love of the Union when so many of our neighbors in the South were waging war for its destruction. Our deep and abiding love for the memory of the Father of his Country aud for the Union is more deeply engraven upon ouj hearts than ever." The previous question on the adoption of these resolutions was called for. A delegate protested against cutting off debate in this manner. The previous question waB then carried. Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, called for a separate vote on each resolution. The resolutions were then read and adopted, separately and severally. Mr. Maynard suggested that the vote on the resolution of respect to the memory of Abraham Lincoln be taken by rising and silence. Th suggestion was adopted, and the resolution was unanimously agreed to in the manner proposed. The .resolutions were then, on motion, adopted as a whole. JOHN MINOR BOTTS OBJECTS TO ONE LINK. After the reading of the address, John Minor Botts, of Virginia, rose and said : " The very able and lucid address which has been read meets with my most cordial approval. There is but one line in it to which I can object, which; though it does not impair its force, may be liable to misrepresentation. I accord it as one of the most formidable indictments ever found against any man in this country great applause the most formidable indictment ever brought by

any grand jury of the country. Renewed applause and cheers. Its severity consists in its truth. Applause. I have simply risen for te purpose of moving its unanimous adoption by the Convention. Applause. In doing that I desire to point to the line to which I had made the objection, which I would prefer to see omitted. It is this: 1 That the Southern States have proscribed Democratic literature as incendiary.' Id1 my opinion, the contrary is true. The only literature they have tolerated is Democratic literature. Laughter, and cries of ' Strike it out.' " I confess that I do not understand why it'was put there, and I hope there will be no: objection on the part of any member of the Convention to striking out that single line and adopting the balance of' the address." Applause. Considerable confusion ensued in the attempt of Messrs. Tucker and. Sherwood to open the debate. A lengthy substitute was voted down.

John Minor Botts demanded a division of the question requiring a separate vote on the first portion of the report, and another on the latter portion in respect to manhood suffrage.

juri' i

Cincinnati, July 1st, 1866. The benefit I derived from Dr. i . 'i Hunter's treatment induces me to make a public statement of my case, believing that I may thereby confer a ' blessing upon many who are suffering as I did, by pointing out a means of obtaining relief. In September, 1865, I consulted Dr. II., who had lately arrived in Cincinnati from New York

City. I had previously submitted my case to several of the most prominent physicians of our city, but received no benefit and little encouragement from them. When I consulted Dr. Hunter, I was suffering from severe pain in my chest, hectic fever, night sweats, hurried breathing, and profuse purulent expectoration. I had had several attacks of bleeding from the lungs, and was much emaciated; in fact, my symptoms indicated too plainly that I had Consumption, which was the opinion entertained by both myself and friends. Soon after placing myself under Dr. Hunter's care, my most distressing symptoms gradually abated, my appetite returned, and in a few months I had increased twenty pounds in flesh, and I am now enjoying the best of health. I attribute my restoration to Dr. Hunter's skHl and attention, and take much pleasure in recommending him to those who may require his assistance. Fbed. Achebt, l.s.
