The Carlcravillo Express says: We learn that at a preliminary examination of Whit more and Truutwine, revenue officers, for kill ing Dr. Dcadman, at Uinggold, Whitmore was committed to jail, and Trautwiuo gave boud for $500. Ou Saturday last, Whitmore was I brought beforo Judge Parrott, at this place, on a writ of habeascorpus. He is defended by aide and emineut counsel, and was admitted to bail in the sum of 95.000.

Tho Chronicle A Seutiuol says the revival the Methodist Church at Greensboro, under the ministrations of the Rev. Mr. Dickey, continues, and makes marked progress. We aie informed that at a late revival meeting all of the non-communicants of the congregation repaired to the alter to invoke Diviuo aid, as anxious inquirers. Such an exhibition of wide-spread feeling and religions interest has been seldom witnessed.

Y.) Convention of the modern "Democracy” has met, transacted He business, and adjourned. This was the as- HombUgo that was to have given u new im petus to the party, and put uow songs into the mouths of tho faithful throughout the whole land. Expectation was oil tip-toe. — New York, tho great leading Democratic State whoso Sachems was to give tho party a Plat form whereon it might ride to powor in 187*2. Hut the failure of this Convention has been as signal as tho presumption of its leaders aud manipulators wore ludicrous. With per haps a single exception—and that au impor tant one the Resolutions adopted arc of the stereotyped sort. They are simply a buudlo of words — ••glittering generalities”—which ■cent carefully designed to uioun uothiog. Tins Convention touched upon th" subject of the XVth Aiucuduu ut quite gingerly. It opposed that Amendment, of course ; that is, after a manuer. It spoke feelingly of the foreign despotisms,” but failed to meet the Cuban questiou upon any practical points. It arraigns tho Federal Administra tion for im alleged failure to redeem its pledges, but it failed to meet the "greenback" questiou aud tho t ixation of National bonds so boldly proclaimed by the Democrats of Ohio. In Hue, tho whole proceeding seems to have been little else than an unskillful rehash of effete dogmas, and a tame reiteration of threadbare phrazes. It is a striking proof; that, of the utter decay and decomposition of a parly that has outlived its principles ; aud, second, of the incapacity of Now York politi cians to piny the role they have taken upon themselves to perform ns tho sell appointed leaders of a defunct party ! Wo adduce th Syracuse fiasco as a fitting supplement to that which nominated Seymour aud lllair iu 18G8, and as one among tho many fitful death gasps omocratio party of the United hero is a time and scasou for all t tho dead bury their dead !

In our local column will bo found an appro priate tribute to Nannie Logan Whitaker, who departed this life ou the 28th iust. Death is only terrible to tho wicked. To little Nan nie it was but passing through a dark entry, out of a dusky room into her Heavenly Fath er’s house, that is lightsome, glorious and divinely beautiful. Wo congratulate her bereaved parents upon this consoling thought. To us death is a su perlatively grand and radiant idea. We some time! contemplate it ns a beautiful morning star, indicating that tho luminary of eternity is about to rise. Were it not for death, life would darken into miduight melancholy. Tho expectation of living here forever would fill the mind of the good with overwhelming despair. Then let us bo thankful for death, for it opens the visions of au endless life. While we write, little Nnnnio is with her Saviour friend, and under no circumstances would we call her sweet littlo spirit back to earth. Senator Sumner and the Iunti uf the Day—Itepudlal Ion. The recent speech of Seualor Sumner, bo- loro tho Massachusetts State Republican Con vention, is, judging from tho abstracts which have been made public thruugh tho New York journals, one of the ablest productions of his life. Ilis position on the Cuba question is, iu substance, that whilst the time had conn for the indcpendancu of the island, and that tho contest now going on would ultimately result in the loss of that province to the de caying Spun sb power, it would neverthele be unwise in the United States to interfere even bo much us to gruut belligerent right: the Cubans. On this point he says: "Belligerency is a fact to be attested by nsurge i dence. If the Cnhi reached this point I have never soc-n the evi dence. They arc iu arms, I know, but who are tln-ir cities, towns, provinces? Where their governw.-ut? Where arc their port Where are their tribunals of justice? And where are their prize conrts? To put those questions is t<* answer them. Where, then, tho fact of belligerency? There is another question in their case which is with me final Even it they came within tho prerequisites o international law, I am unwilling to make am recognition of them so long as they continue to hold human beings as slaves. A de May last, purporting to be signod by Cespe- <les, abolished slavery; but I am not sure of this decree, especially in view of another, in July, purporting to come from tho same au thority, maintaining slavery. Until this is settled we must wait." On the subject of tho National Debt Mr. Sumner is, as might have been anticipated, thoroughly sound. lie is in favor of a liberal and rigid enforcement of tlio contract by the Governin' it with its creditors. Repudiation in all it •r.ns. whether that advocutcd by tho Democracy o f Ohio, by the payment of bonds in greenbacks, * that of Andy John son, by refusing payment of gold interest bearing bonds, is held up to public scorn and indignation. Wo thiuk that Mr. Sumner is mis taken in tlio assumption that the South is iu favor of repudiation. Indeed, wo might go fur ther,and quite safely affirm that ho is mistaken. Neither Andy Johnson nor the extreme Demo crats represent tho popular sentiment South. Tho Republican party in tho South, a* also tho modcrato Democrats or "Conser vatives,” favor tho payment of tho public debt in accordance with tho original contract. Hence they nnito in their support of tho Ad ministration. For ourselves, and in behalf of tho Republican party of Georgia, wo deny most emphatically that tho Southern people are committed to Repudiation in any form.— Andy Johnson and tho mad, impracticablo men who arrny themselves against tho plans and policy of tho General Government, do not represent tho Southern people; nor is it true that thn Republicans and moderate and sensiblo men among tho late "Democracy” of tho South are iu a hopeless minority in Genr gia. Horace Greeley, in his Now York Tribune, writes thus of tho Republican patty: "It can givo no reason why its life should bo prolonged one hour after it ceases to stand in. for Government n/tl.e People, by the Peo ple, for tho People.” In that brief seutouco is embodied tho ob ject of the Repulican party, tho law of its life, { polar star of action. Tho end and aim of Republicanism is not confusion, disorder or anarchy, but Govern ment—Rovcrnincnt oj the people, not by pre tenders, upstarts, or emperors, but by the poo- plo, and/or the people. This is tho philosophy that gives invinci bility lo this party, that crowns its steady progress with triumph and blessing, over nil it* discordant, nnphilosophic and raving an tagonists. Lot no Republican over, in any act, forgot or bo unfaithful to this omnipotent truth, this mustering philosophy; and so let thn asc oncy of the Republican party and tho fare of oar country, liko Liberty and Uii bo "one and Inseparable, now and form In hoc Sijno Vinrimns. renew iu favor of A k O.

It must therefore be the gueat TRUNK LINE, and tho GREAT TUROUGU MAIL and passenger iioute between the Northeast and Southwest. Aud by tho construction of the Southern Pacific Railway it will be tbo shortest trans-Continental railway route between tho Atlantic and Pacific oceans, only ouo affording uninterrupted communica tion the whole year. These considerations, in connection with the statistics of onr Coal and Iron Fields I am ubout to prcscut, conclu sively demonstrate that this must becomo one of the best payiug railways in tho Union. The importance aud value of coal to the commercial world can hardly be over-estima ted. The distribution of coal thvoughont the United States is wonderfully general and ' partial. Deposits of coal are fouud from ocean to ocean, from tho lakes to tho Gulf. We have 3,000,000 square miles of superficial urea. We have 200, OIK) square miles of coal, one-fifteenth of the entire area, and unmistakable evidence of other immense fields. We out rank all other countries in this import ant element of wealth Let us examine, for ft few moments, tho coal fields of Great Britain, aud see if wo cannot find in their history the secret of her rapid ad vance to the position of tho first power in tb< world. The annual production of coal in Great Britain is over 100,000,000 tons, valued at $150,000,000, affording employ 000 peoplo. It is estimated that 10,000,000 tons of this Coal is employ*.d in tho production chauicui power. As 1-i tons of Coal will produce power equal to a year of manual labor of one man, 10,000,- 000 tons u ; ed in tho production of mechanical power equals the labor of 7,500,000 able bodied one ’ A large portion i ied iu the manufacture But the United Slates has m ly iu absolute quantity, but ity- c Coal, not ou proportiou t< nuporier qnal The A <>/ ho square i The Uuited Stati Coal for every 15 miles of area. Great Briluiu has one for overy 20 miles. Belgium one for every 224 miles. FruHce one for 200 square miles of area. The production of Coal in Groat Britain in creased from 32,250,000 tons in 1854 to 104, 000,000 tons ill 1807. The greatest Coal and Iron producing country is the most powerful. Tho production of Coal iu Pensylvania 1807 was 15,000,000 tons, which, reduced to me chanical power, equals 10,000,000 laborers. Herein lies the scent of her great wealth am power. The coal area of Virginia, Kentucky, Ton uossce, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama i* computed at about 40,000 square miles, 25.000. 000 square acres. A Coal seam 5 feet thick gives 5,000 tons per acre. Five thousand tons per 128.000. 000.000 tons as the probable deposit iu those six States. Miuing at the rato of 104,000,000 ions )nr annum, the present product of Great Britain, it will take, 1280 years to exhaust them. Near Chattanooga aud tho lino of this R. is a Coal mine requiring tho labor of 100 in Its annual product now is about 30,000 tons. This used for the production of mechanical power would represent tho labor of 20,000 In 13 years tho Coal product of Great Brit ain trebled. In tho South, it may, by tho construction of Railways, bo increased much moro rapidly. If in ten years the production reachos 10,- 000,C00 tons,—uot an unreasonable osti mate,—and one-tenth bo used mechanical ly, it would represent 750,000 laborers. In twenty years it should reach 100,000,000 tons. One-tcutli used mechanically gives 10,000,- 000 tons, representing 7,500,000 laborers. What should prevent this from being a ality ? Tho Iron product of the world is nearly 9,- 500,000 tons annually, of which Great Britui; produces ouo half— Uuited States nearly.. The (i l>irectors of tlm Chicago Board of Trade liav« tendered their resignations bo- cnuHti the Board, alter voting to sustain their action in suspending certain members for vio lation of tho rules, requested them to rein state the expelled inumbur* beforo tho matter complained of has be* n settled.

Tho quantity of Iron Oro mined in Gn at Britain, to produce 4,701,000 tons of Fig Met al, was 10,021,000 tons, showing tho Ore to yield an average of 47 \>er cent of Metal. 1 havo no data as to tho per centago of Met al in the Pennsylvania Oro, but we havo Ores right around where we now stand, tributary to this Hoad, which will yield over 60 per conk, and much which will yield between 70 and 80 loir cent. IWa Tho Pig Metal of Great Britain yields 79 Jter cent of Wrought Iron That of the United Mates 75 per cent., that of Belgium 80 per ccut., and that of Franco 70. But the yield reported for tho Amorican product is based principally on tho Pennsyl vania Metal, which is acknowledged to bo far inferior to tho Monthern, which will, under the same management, yield a much larger por cent. With the tlml the Iron Ore, the Lime atul Sand Hock, lying side try sitle, a superior guaiitg of Pig Metal can be prothiivd hi this section, a less cost II, m anywhere else m this Continent.
