It requires no wisdom to announce that as soon as both points are determined, the Delegates will be officially advised. The Uevifia Convention* Tke fact that many able statesmen and inri't have been elected to the Convention, in this State, is being utterly ignored by the di-union press. Their purpose is evi dent : First—to mislead their home read- ir -. and prematurely prejudice them again-t anything that may cminate from the Convention.

We conceive that it was not necessary to elect old party hacks to ensure a good organic document. We imagine, also, it is better as it. Politi cal charlatans made the holding of the contemplated Convention necessary. They brought our troubles upon us. The people have decided not to trust them for relief. In this they acted wisely. The interest of the State and her people are in good Lands. Of this we feel assured. And it matters not what the home grumblers may have to -ay. They can only harm themselves.

Star and Sentinel -ays: Previous to the late election in Pennsylvania, the Democracy in that State »pproached General Meade to obtain his views respecting the Presidency. It says that the politicians presented the case very plausibly, and urged the Genral to become their candidate. He replied substantially that there was three difficulties in the way: 1st- He preferred his present position— a Major General in the regular army. 2d. He had no taste for the duties of the Presidency. 3d. He called himself a Republican, and •ntended voting the Republican ticket at ihe October election. ir It is stated that it is not intended by the recent cotton regulation to require permit* and bills of landing for the removal of cotton from point to point within the district where the same is pro- duced. as in the ease of removal front such iistrict.

Those of our readers who do not read the disunion press of the State, can form but a very imperfect idea of the bitterness which characterize the daily appeals for organization to defeat the Union men of the State. It is not enough that officials are abused without stint, and by the use of language familiar only in the vicinity of the Fish Market. It does not suffice to indulge in the use of such slang respecting the advo cates of Reconstruction as w ould not be deemed respectable at the Five Points.— The members elect are asb&Herf generally, and their future action prejudged. The madness that dictates the policy of these disappointed factionlsts must be met by cool, calm, wise and energetic action on the part of the friends of the Union and Reconstruction. To lay down their arms now, would involve the loss of all that has been won—nay, more, it would continue for years all the political and financial dif ficulties under which our State and people are now laboring. Enough has been gain ed to ensure final success in the great work, if there should be no dallying among our friends. Meetings should be held and addresses delivered, and docu ments circulated, as heretofore. All hon orable appliances to influence voters should be used. This done and nothing will he necessary bebond energetic efforts to get the voters to the polls. The test vote is yet to come. Let the working Republicans remember this and govern themselves accordingly. miscellaneous.

From the National Republican.] An extract from the New York Tribune, apparently putting that influential paper in a position antagonistic to Gen. Grant, was thought of sufficient importance to be telegraphed all over the country a few days since. Such is the custom of the Demo- Ferional. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger states that Mrs. Sena tor Sprague (Judge Chase’s daughter) ar rived at New York from Europe on Fri day. Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, and Mrs. Cady Stauton, together with “other promi nent ladies of Kansas,” have projected an extensive campaign in the Northern and Eastern States, and have arranged for meetings next month in the principal cities of New York, Massachusetts, and Penn sylvania to ngitate the question of female suffrage.

Johnson, of Louisville, has filed a petition for adjudication in bank ruptcy against himselt. He reports debts and liabilities of over $600,000. The Cincinnati Gazette thinks that Val- landigham has the best showing for an election to the Senate. He is stumping the State and rousing the mud-sills. A Washington special of the 7th to the Philadelphia Inquirer says that on that day “ B. H. Hill, of Georgia, and John Minor Botts had a long interview with General Grant.” In noticing this the Columbus Enquirer says: “We are satisfied that Mr. Hill was in Georgia at that date. Perhaps it was Hon. Joshua Hill who had the interview. The New York Sun says that William B. Astor. Alexander T. Stewart and Cor nelius Vanderbilt are the three wealthiest men in the United States. Mr. Astor is reputed to be worth about fifty millions dollars, Mr. Stewart about the same, and Commodore Vanderbilt about forty millions.

Cause—failure in business Freedom ok the Press.—Judging from j and despondency. damaging to the Republican party runs through with a looseness, while, whatever is at all favorable to that party, is garbled and perverted, as was the Tribune s article on Grant. The amount of the article is that the Tribune prefers Chief Justice Chase to Gen. Grant; and the ground of the prefer ence is that Chase is fully committed to the principles of the Republican party, while the opinions of Grant are somewhat doubt ful. But, in the whole article, there is not one word of disparagement of Gen. Grant, unless the first three lines of the following paragraph may be so considered. These three lines were all that the concern which supplies us telegraphic news thought prop er to send: Gen. Grant ire esteem by no means a great man. nor even a very great General, yet he lias, in every position he has filled, evinced a modest good sense, a practical, unosten tatious sagacity, which have justly won for him a large measure of public confidence. He is not by training a statesman ; yet his negotiations with Gen. Lee. and the terms of capitulation conceded by him at Appo mattox. evince a wisdom and breadth of view which few among our statesmen could have equalled, and none of them has surpassed. We do profoundly honor and esteem him that be lias never uttered one syllabi*- that savored of exultation over the defeated rebels, or called down vengeance on their heads. Tbe blood-and-thunder policy of execution and confiscation, which we intensely loathe, has had no more effec tive opponent than thi3 taciturn, reticent first soldier of tne Union. Let it be for ever understood, then, that our preference of Gov. Chase is based on no dislike to Gen. Grant, nor even on a low estimate of his abilities. We presume he has no judicious friend who would pro nounce him equal in capacity or experi ence. as a civilian, to the Chief .Justice; we trust no friend oftbe latter will tail to ren der the General a hearty support should lie be made tbe standard bearer of Repub- lican principles in the great struggle now opening. \Ve. at all events, shall not hesi tate. in that case, to do our utmost for bis election. Tbe Tribune’s article concludes in this wise: If our principles do not sustain us, we must go down. And. if we shall attempt evasion or concealment, we shall deserve to go down. Any candidate who repre sents our principles and glories in avow ing them, we shall most heartily support, whether he be Chase, or Grant, or Coltax. or any other. If it were possible that the Republicans should discard their plain obligations, and stand on an unprincipled race for victory, we should feel little inter est in their success. But this they will never do. From the New York Herald ] Den of Thrieee In a Church. Odd Fellowship.—The report of the Grand Secretary of the Order in the Uni ted States has just been issued.

In this garret the pro ceeds of many a night's laDor has been concealed. Here the gang actually lived, did their cooking and the like, without the slightest interruption from anybody. In this attic were found articles of every de nomination-solid silver ware, plated tea sets, coffee urns, tea pots, silver pitchers, carpets, guns, pistols, swords, pots, hard ware. and even groceries. It will be re membered that a short time since the pub lic schools were broken into throughout ihe whole county, and books inkstanas,etc« were carried off; these same things have been found; the churcht-s were robbed of their carpets and cushions, and these, too, have been f< and, together w ith the carpets and cushions stolen from the church in which they chose to make their headquar ters. They have lived here a long time, and have many a Sunday sat looking down upon the congregation as the Rev. Mr. Beare was explaining the Bil le an 1 while he was composing his sermons during the week. It is still more remarkable how they succeeded in entering the church so often during wet and stormy nights without leav ing some tracks which would indicate their situation, A young man named Alfred Townsend has *be£n arrested upoR suspi cion of being accessory to the robberies, and the detectives are now upon the track of others who are leading parties in the affair. Tbe church was presented, a short time ago, with a new organ, the one w’hieh they then used being out of order, and it was abandoned, and- the new instrument erected.

Thi9 act was charged against New York thieves, as was all the others. In the same place were found sto\es and every necessary article for their use. The amount of goods discovered will amount up to $15,000, and from present indications, there are chances of ferreting out similar dens of depredators.

The fire orig inated in a heap of cotton lying in a cor ner of tiie room above designated, and is supposed to have been caused by gravel in the cotton. Tiie foreman of the establish ment, immediately upon discovering tiie fire,-ordered all hands to work to try and extinguish it. and every effort was made to cheek the flames. It was thought at first that the fire would be put out, but the limited supply of water was soon ex hausted, and the flames spread with fearful rapidity over the whole building, which, being of wood, and all of inflammable material, was totally destroyed in an in conceivably short space of time. A strong wind was prevailing at the time, and the sparks were scattered far and wide. Ere the fire companies could get to work, a number of dwelling houses, on Wilson street, had caught nre. and the flames were making fearful headway. It burned for about an hour, and in that space of time had destroyed eight dwelling houses. All the buildings on Wilson street, except some three or four, were con sumed. The most serious loss to the city was the cotton factory, which was doing an excel lent business. The loss of the company is about $15,000 on building and machinery, on which there is an insurance of $10,000, which is divided between four different compaines. The building was a large wooden one, and full of the necessary ma- chineiy for the manufacture of cotton bat ting, in which the company were doing a heavy business. As an average, eighteen hands were employed by the company. We understand *tbat the buildings will be immediately re-erected, larger than be fore. and with more conveniences.

III., was on fire—tiie whole country for twenty-five miles being completely enveloped in flames. Houses, barns, fences. Ac., were being consu l ed. and it is highly probable that not all tiie people living in the vicinity escaped. At one point the train ran through a body of tire, but with such swiftness that the cars, and all inside,escaped uninjure. Tiie tres tle work over the Wabash bottom, five mile? west of Vincennes, which is nearly a 3 uarter of a mile long, was enveloped in ames, so that the passengers and baggage were transferred to this side, and the West ern train returned to this city. lf*A Mayor was elected in Brooklyn on the day of the late State election.

Charles Schurig, the Republican candidate, a one-armed soldier, was elected County Register by 2,000 majority. A Gang of Villains Arrested.—The Charleston Courier, of yesterday, contains an account of the arrest of two white and six colored men, who tore up the track of the South Carolina Railroad, near Colum bia, on the 12th of October, for the purpose of throwing off and plundering the train. They have made a confession, and, it is to be hoped, will get tbe full benefit of the law lor such cases “made and provided.” The < otton Trade.—The United States Economist says: “It is not to be concealed that those best acquainted with tiie cot ton trade of tiie U nited States are becoming dubious as to whether our jankers can hold their ground in competing with the growers of other countries. When plant ers could grow cotton at six cents per pound it was generally conceded triat we had a virtual monopoly of the cotton trade. W T e then supplied England with three- fourths of her importations of cotton, and there was no tendency on the part of other countries to dispute our ascendency. Our cotton was a much better staple than that of India and was marketed in much lietter condition, and the Eastern product was used only for the very commonest pur {los es. But now all is changed. The extreme scarcity of American cotton has necessita ted the Lancashire spinners and manufac turers to adapt their machinery to tiie In dia staple, so that it is now found to he available for many purposes to which for merly it had never been applied. The ad vanced price ha-* caused greater attention to be paid to the culture and packing of tiie Eastern staple; while tiie hand some prouts realized by growers and factors have induced a much larger area to lie planted, and have in every way consolidated and strengthened the cotton trade of India. At the same time, the opening of railroad communication with rlie cotton region has placed the planting districts in more direct communication with tiie capital and enterprise of the cotton ports. India is thus not only-in a position to grow cotton as clteaplv as ever, but has the motives and the means for increas ing her crops indefinitely. There is naturally a hesitating about largely aug menting the crop in that couutry until it is ascertained what is likely to be the sup ply from the United States. In the event of an average crop being raised here, the price of the staple would be reduced to a figure which would Involve heavy losses to the growers and the merchants in India; and this must be regarded as the reason why the cotton crop of the last two years has not been increased to the extent which might have been expected from the high profits realized upon its culture. Should it appear to the cotton traders of India that the American crop is likely to be permanently redneed. there would un doubtedly be a prompt increase in the India supply; but until the probabilities upon that question are more definitely developed the India supply is likely to be regulated with caution.” ADMINISTRATRIX’S SALE.
