I The National Convention.
TheEufaula News, of Saturday, has sev
eral articles on the subject of tho proposed
Convention, which seem to have been writ
ten by different persons—one in favor of the
South accepting tho invitation, another sug
gesting the propriety of waiting awhile, and
a third dissenting the call of the National
Committee, with a pretty sharp scalpel.—
We subjoin the latter and give it our appro

“The National Union Club, the character

GEN. LEE,
A correspondent of the Richmond Times,
writing from Lexington, Vs., gives some in
teresting particulars concerting Gen. Lee in
bis new position as President of Wasbington
Colloge, He says tho General is beloved
" not only by tho students bnt the entire
community. Ho is not at all unsocial, is
free, yet cautions In conversation, but Ms vis

his salary is not large, his every want is sup.

package or a box, sent by express, contain

hooks and pictures down to clothing and
provisions. These come lrom every quar
ter of the country, but chiefly from Balti

A New Tork publisher offered to endow
Washington College with $10,000 annually,
if Gen, Lee would contribute one article a
week to his paper- The proposition .was
declined. The General is collecting mate

Thirdly, That these things or States “so-

The Confederate Dead. ..
The"ladies of Richmond, Virginia, have
organized a society, “the Hollywood Memo
rial Association,” whoso object it is to res
cue from oblivion^ and to protect ana adorn
tho*graves of the Confederate dead, who
repose ill Hollywood Cemetery- on the baUks
of the James, near-Richmond. In- order to
obtain the means to-accomplish this holy
purpose these ladies have addressed “to tho
Women of the South” an appeal for contri
butions. Wo publish it; for we are .sure
that, in the North, too, there are many who,
boasting their kinship with.the noble dead,
or anxious to "do honor to those who fought
bravely and died gloriously in defense of
Southern rights, will ieel that it is their
right and thcir.duty to help these Virginia
•women to complete tho pious labor which
patriotism and honor impose upon them and
upon all those who venerate the principles
for which the South fought, or who respect
and admire bravery aud constancy and love
of country.
Let it be remembered that these ladies,
though their fortunes have been swept away
and their homes made desolato by the ar
mies of the North, though they are money
less and almost helpless, come not as mendi
cants begging alms.of t he North 1 Their a p-
aeal is addressed to “the Women of the
South,” and yet we cannot but feel that the
women of the North shonld hearken to it
too. They should not forget that the na
tion is lavishing its wealth, wealty derived
from the impoverished South, as well as from
the prosperous North, in the adornment of
the cemeteries in which those rest who died
battling for the Union, while these poor
Southern woriien must depend altogether
upon the .scanty contributions of a ruined
people fo;- the means wherewith even to res

TQ" THE WOMEN OF THE SOUTH
- The end we propose is the cause of the
South. It lias neither party, nor section, nor
division. The obligations of the survivors
to the memory of tho martyrs oftlic war ad
dress the South as one family, wherein, tho’
there he degrees of affliction and bereave
ment, none are without sorrow and grief.—
It is riot, however, to hearts crushed by per
sonal sorrows, so much as to the gratitude
cherished for. noble deeds by noble men, we
appeal. With this the Southern heart throbs
with one impulse, and is ready to testify its
inextinguishable sympathy.
It shall be ojir endeavor to rescue from the

Kansas City, and .went to the residence of
his brother-in-law, Mr. McCall on tho Gov

He was in poor health, as lio»had been lor
some time previous, his ailment seeming tq
be mental rather than bodily. His mind
was in a cPntinnal state of excitement,
threatening him with paralysis of the hfhin

been proposed in the interest of New Eng

of Mr. Slorrill, the chairman plthe Commit

In the June number of the New Jersey
Review is a paper upon the trial of Mr.
Jefferson Davis, which assigns certain rea
sons why that trial has been postponed and
why it may not take place at all. Among
ethers, wo note the following:
.There is danger to the Republican party
lest tho trial of Jefferson Davis, should it go
on, instead of leading to the conviction of
him and his associates .for treason against
the General Government, might end in the
conviotion qf tlio General Government, as it
has-been mismanaged by the Republican
party, of treason againsYthe States and the

the doctrine of secession, the Review says:

Case Under the Civil Rights Bill.
"\Ve read in the Richmond Dispatch:
The character of this biff,'a* it is under
stood by the negroes themselves and the
extreme Radicals,, is well illustrated By a
case which lias recently occurred in West
Virginia. We learn from the -Clarksburg
Conservative, that in April last :i negro ap
plied to the Recorder of Gilmer county, for
a license to marry a whito woman, which
was refused. Learning that he is made the
equal of the white race by the civil rights
hill, the negro lately commenced legal pro
ceedings against the recorder for refusing
him the license, by sending a petition to Mr.
John .T. Davis, of Clarksburg, a commission
er of the United States District Court, for
a warrant against the recorder.
Mr. Davis rclused to issue tho warrant,
for the reason thatthe marriage of blacks
with whites was prohibited by the laws of
V. est Virginia, and therefore the recorder
was guilty of violating no law, and cannpt
be held liable by any process known -to tlic
courts for a failure to perform his official
duties; and for tlic further reason that the
civil rights bill, upon which.the petition re
lics', an^ by^iituc of which lie claims that
tnc recorder should have issued to him-the
license, can in no.wyje affect or enlarge, the
powers of that officer, and authorize him to
do an act which he is forbidden to do by
the laws of his State, ho being a State and
not a Federal officer.
- y? c suppose,.(adds the Conservative,) the
negro will.now have.Mr. Davis indicted by
the grand jury of the Federal- court, which
meets at this place in August, for not excep
ting the civil rights hill and arresting the

the Radical plan for a permanent paper cue

The superabundant and irredeemable pa

production, and enhances the cost of all pro
ducts of labor so far that they 'cannot he ex

sustain tho domestic'products, whether of

on ail sides, and therefore the wool growers

The Negro Question.
It is a fallacy to think, as some do, that
this question is at, last settled ; that the irre
pressible Conflict is at an end ; and that the
overthrow of the rebellion has put a perpet
ual quciius 011 those distressing, controver
sies and antagonism which brought tho
Union to the verge of destruction in 1801.
Such is not the tact. The same antagonism,
the same questions which caused our dan
ger then, are thc same to-day that make
tru c m: n tremble for their counti^*, and arc
thc only obstacles in the way of a complete
and happy restoration of Union. Bat these

questions—this conflict, tho’ not changed in
effect, has ch.iagcT in form, by the change
of power between the two sections, of which
they were tlic issues. When the South had
ini^y of
tone
for a new government, but now that the
North has the power, it advccate* tin* di
vinity of the ncgro^aiul his superiority over
the white mau, and upon’this basis they
want to reconstruct this Government.
Is it because the Radicals love, ami are
jealous for tlic right of the negro, that they
do-this? Or is.it for love of country? It
is for neither, hut because they are jealous
of tl^e rights of the white men ; because
hey hate them more than they love the
Union; they hate them, not because they
were traitors, hut because it is for their' in

Farmers lose a great deal every year by
keeping more stock than they ean properly
feed and take care of They commit a great
mistake by keeping more than tbey-can keep

kept ill a constantly thriving condition. In
summer they should haye abundant pastu
rage, and iu winter, warm shelter and all
the good nutricions food they will cat.—
Stock thus managed arc always profitable—* 1
always improving and increasing in value—

pleasure to look upon. To illustrate;—Sup

Or if he will keep a less number of any kind
of stock, and fecibbcttev, they wilt at any
time sell for more money than a greater
number of small, scrawny, half-fed animals.
It is good care and good feed that make good
animals. And farmers who overstock coiii'-

feed, keep all the stock that you can feed

VTo flml tlio following statement in the
Atlanta Intelligencer of yesterday. If the
Freedmen’s Bureau is worth anything, it
will look after the nnrtter:
An enterprising genius has been in this
ity some time past engaged in collecting
tip negro boys hi tween the ages of 15 and 20
years. To si number of these unsusjiecting
youths he had represented himself as a son
of the late President Lincoln, and pictures
in glowing term* the splendors oi*;\ home
he will take them to in Cuba, which place
he gives them to understand is somewhere
ie North. lie agrees to pay $20 per
month, and defray all traveling expenses.—
,On reaching “Cuba” they will receive all
sorts'of good cloflios, and plenty to ent, and
light lao*r only required of them. How
successful this swindling scamp lias been
we have no knowledge, and of his real pur
pose we arc equally ignorant. That he lms
found dupes wc can readily believe, and
have no doubt that many has been induced
to leave comfortable homes. It has been
observed that every Western train bears
hence largo and small squads of negroes*
many of whom have no knowledge of their
destination. They have been employed,
their present expenses arc being paid, they
receive kind treatment and flattering prom
ises, and that is about aft they know. If
the truth could be known, flicre is sad work
going on, apd poor cuffee is learning that Ids
imaginary troubles did not end when his
freedom was attained. *
A gkxtl-kman visiting Oil City, wtyitto
a hotel to stop over night. Said he; .
‘‘Give me tlio best room you have in the
house.” ' * /* '
“Certainly,” said the lar.dlordj <HTl give
you the room TJmrlo\y ; Weed*occupied.^*
Walter, show this man to parlor D.”
Walter did as ordered; found nine oyjen
cots, each wit ha carpet sack thercoii. Tic
seized his carpet bag and came back roaring :
“Landlord, I’d like to sleep in the room
which Thurlow Weed occupied, ImtT’lllwj.
damned if I don't* object to sleep with tho
entire Black Republican party.”
