THE SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL
CONTENTION.
This Convention met in Louisville on
the 12th inst., and organized with Millard
Fillmore as President.
The Convention was very largely attend-,
ed—Georgia having the largest delegation
present, and lending some of her delegates
to South Carolina, as that State had none.
The congregation of so many leading
capitalists and men of intelligence and sci
ence, w.is very pregnant with hopeful sug
gestions, and we doubt not will be very ben
eficial to the conntry at large.
Tbe main topics of interest, such as the
Southorn Pacific Railroad and Immigra
tion, were referred to committees.
Resolutions favoring Southern Immigra- “fjj^etefoylritoig
tion, were adopted. Direct lines of trans
portation between Southern and European
ports will be established, and Col. Ml F.
Maury, appointed the general agent.
A memorial asking for aid from Con
gress for improvements on the Tennessee
river was ordered to be presented to that
body at its next session.
The Convention adjourned to meet in
Cincinnati.
The lordly hospitality of the Louisville
people is highly commended by all who
utteuded the Convention.
THE STATE ELECTIONS.
POLITICAL NOTES.
It will be seen that the States of Ohio,
Penn-ylvania aud Iowa, have gone against
us. .
The Democracy have very much lo be
hopeful about.
The Radical majorities have been dwin
dled down to about one-sixth of what it
"was in Ohio, and to about one-tenth of
what it was in Pennsylvania.
In Ohio.the prims causes of defeat were
believed to be the hastv nomination of Mr.

the inability of Pendleton Iq lake part

Radical Party. The canvass in that State,
though lively, is not organized yet and we

LET US HATE LECTURES.
One of the hungriest cravings that tor
ment we poor mortals, is the appetite for
shows and entertainments.
“The people must be amused,” said
haughty noble of ancient Rome, and men
were ordered to chop each other’s heads
auu.dance upon the horns of bulls for
their, diversion.
Through the whirling cyeles of centuries
this clamor for amusements has como ring
ing, and to-day the people of young Rome.
[ ruddy, with prosperity, cry “give us enter
tainments.”^
What sHaH’w.e do ? Shall we rely upon
cTtcuss^s, menageries, theatres, magicians,
,ventriloquists, and prestidigateurs, or shall
we.provide some healthier amusements ?
We incline decidedly to the latter horn
of Ibis dileuia , and propose that we have
-ft series, of'lectures through the winter.
There is nothing that will so refine and
educate and please us, as a cot

- There are many miqi in our own State
who'would willinglydenture for ns during

an a style surpassed by very few men on
the continent. We mention as notable in
stables Geo. E. Pierce, Bishop Beckwith,
■Dr-Tucker, Dr Lipscomb, Dr. Hanison
and Wm. L. Broun.
Besides these, there ire many lecturers
froto^other States now traveling through
the South. Hollans, from Kentucky, and
Bagby, from Virginia, are going through
Georgia before long, and we doubt not both

hue .nii 'i The Infamous Ames.
Ames’i Tbbeat.—In relation to the
throat of Ames, the Military Commander,
sentrby.;, telegraph,a few days since, the
Vicksburg Herald says:
It trill he noticed that Gen. Ames does

Kith .-statfo" r "his intention to carry the
State, if he had to march his troors from

They desire an untrammelled election, free
from bayonet influence or military interfer-

The sfcate&dnt made by the Herald, and
which improbably the same that Capt. Fisk
has endorsed and relie3 on, was made by a
respectable gentleman; who gave the names
of Witnesses to Gen. Ames’languages. They
have been written to lot sworn attestations

To those Coming Among Us.
We have been handed by Col. Towers, a
letter from a gentlen an in Ohio, who in*
tends moving to this place, and who asks
whether or not the fact of his being a
Northern man, would bar his family from
social enjoyments, and subject them to the
inconveniences of ostracism.
To him and all of his class we say emphat
ically—No.
Every man who comes and casts his lot
with us, will receive a hearty welcome, if
he conducts himself rightly, whether he be
from New York or New Zealand.
We would be false to that regal and chiv
alrous hospitality which has been bo long the
boast of Southerner*, were we to fail to
treat with courteous consideration a stran
ger who comes to settle with us.
We say to thcjgentlemaa from Ohio,come to

Interesting Information Concerning the
Coo.sa River.
Col. J. G. Yeiser handed us the follow
iug this morning as action taken by the
Louisville Convention.
The Convention was a very powerful
one,-and the petition presented to Congress
by it will likely meet with favor:
“Resolved. That in the opinion of" this
Convention, the following named rivers are
entitled to the fostering care of the govern
ment, and we recommend to the favorable
consideration of Congress appropriations of
the pnblic fuuds for the opening and im
provement of the same, via : Red r River;
from its mouth in Louisiana, to the city of
Joflerson, Texas, aed Fulton, Arkanssis;
and the Coosa from Rome, Georgia to We-
tumpka, Alabama, from which point there
is unobstructed navigation through the Al
abama river to the city of Mobile?
Resolved, In connection with the im
provement of the Red River and the Coosa
River, as aforesaid, that this Convention
hereby instruct the committee on printing
to publish, as a part of the proceedings ol"
this body, for information, the papers sub
mitted to tho Convention by T. J.' Camp
bell, of Texas, upon the subject of Red
River, and J. G. leiser, of Georgia, npou
the improvement ofthc Coosa.
An, Alliance.—A Washington telegram
in the New York Herald says :
4 There is talk of a coalition between the
Radicals and the Walker True Republicans
in the General Assembly for tho election
of senators. The latter say they can connt
thirty-eight members, which, added to the
Wells Radicals, would make nfoetv-two on
joint ballot for the coalition, and give it a
majority of two .over tho Conservatives. By
this means they think, they" would secure
the election of either Lieutenant-Governor
Lewis or Mr. Franklin Stearns, who are
looked upon with favor by all factions of
Republicans, and are quite acceptable
even to the Conservatives.”
tVhat nc-nsense. There isnobrdyin the
Legislature who had any insuperable objec
tion to the election of Lewis or Stearns an
less it be to the Radicals. Both of these
gentlemen are True Republicans; both vot
ed for Walker. Stearns nominated Walker.
Lewis ran on the ticket with him for Lieu
tenant-Governor. If tho Radicals are will
ing to unite on t hem, they have more sense
and patriotism thau we had given them
credit for.
The latest romance is from Jacksonville,
Illinois, and is simply the history of a pair
ot stockings ; “There is a very respecta
ble lady now living in this county, not a
dozen miles from this city, who had a pair
of stockings that her father bought her in
Springfield, Illinois, for her to he married
in. She, her sisterrin-law and four of her
daughters, were all married in the selfsame
pair of stockiu.e. , She yet has a bcauti
ful and blooming unmarried daughter who
declares that she, too. will stand os a bride
in the same dear old stockings, provided
■bo'ghfei married . before the death of her
mother who by the way is carefully pre
serving them, to be burned in. The lady
says this is the only pair of stockings she ev
er bad that-were bought from a store.
She also says she has raised the cotton and
carded, spun and knit all the stockings for
herself, her. husband , and . pH her children.
The pair of stockings oast one dollar and
thirty cents forty years ago.”

Hb Had him There. -Mr. John Brough
am started a comic paper iu New York,
some yean ago (the Lantern,) and a funny
story ia told of him and it. Billy Burton,
the actor, was no friend to Brougham in
those days, and there is reason to believe
that no love was lost on either side. The
story runs to the effeet that John, on en
tering a restaurant, found Billy and one or
his chums tittiugnt a table—Burton, as usu
al, “fatigued." Disliking Brougham. Bur
ton replied roughly to the question—“Have
you read the Lantern this week ?” by say
ing : “No 11 never read the thing,
unieas I’m drunk—unless I’m drunk— (re
peating m a louder tone) —unleu rmdrunil"
Brougham, who -is the very pink of polite
ness when he chooses to be courteous, im
mediately arwe from the table at which he
was sitting, advanced, hat iu hand, to the
end of Burton’s table, and making a bow
in his grandest manner observed : “Then,
Mr. Button, I am sure of one constant
reader!” This was a settler. Borton mada
no reply, but the story got wind as too good
a thing to keep.
Wheat and Oat Crops.—It is sugges
ted for the consideration of farmers and
planters, that their supplies of forage for
next year’s crop must depend largely in
small grain crops. Corn is now uncom
monly dear, and is likely to continue so
during all the Winter, and nntil the crop of
1870 is made. The present crop at home is
small, and, in many parts of the Northwest,
is pronounced a severe failure.
A large crop of good oats will be the
salvation of those planters who shall have
scanty cribs of corn next June, and he who
would work oat his salvation must begin
about it now. The operations of the drought
and rust in the cotton have placed that
crop far ahead, at this time a large portion
of it being already housed and ginned.
Therefore there is more than usual oppor
tunity to get in small grain in the proper
The ground should be well plowed, twice
or three times, if possible, to pulverise the
soil well. This care and labor will prove
profitable. Good commercial fertUiaera
will pay admirably too, and should not be
omitted. Boy of responsible and reliable
parties, and sow, 300 to 400 lbs. per acre,
and plow in with theseed.
Perhaps the sooner oats is sown now, the
better it- will be. The use of a good turn-
