The Alabama Convention.
We publish an abstract of the pro
ceedings of a Union Contention recently
held at Huntsville, Alabama. We pre
sume it embodies the action of what are
known as the “ Loral Leaguers" of that
State. It will be seen that they recom
mend a Coarontion of the “true” Union
men of Alabama, to be held within 60
days, for the purpose, we presume, of
remodeling the State Government on a
basis that will be acceptable to Con
gress. Is it policy for the friends ol
restoration in Georgia to remain passive
and allow the same element to recon-
Struct our own State Government ?

Child’s United States—By Charles flood
rich: Philadelphia, H. Cowperthwait A
Cos. 1867.
This is a brief review of the rise and
progress of the United States, adapted
to the use of schools, and designed for
children. It has one feature which we
think is eminently commendable. It
ends before the late war began. It
would he a good thing for the fame of
America if all the histories conld stop
there. It would prevent a villainous
amountof perversion that is to be gravely
sent down to posterity, by partial chron
iclers on both sides, in the name of his
tory ; and save many"b sigh over the
wreck, and curse over the wrongs, of
the unhappy struggle, if the annals of
the last five years could be obliterated.
It is unquestionably a blot on our civili
zation, and a reproach to our pretensions
of Christianity. Commeud us, then, to
the Child’s History. We will read it,
and try to cultivate the author’s oblivi
ousness to the fact that there has been
a war. Quinn has it for sale.
Sentiments of the Southern Press-
One after another, the leading jour
nals of the South are urging upon their
readers the urgent importance of
promptly accepting the terms of recon
struction offered by Congress. We
commend the following extracts to the
consideration of our readers :
[From the New Orleans Crescent, 13tb.]
To yield to the necessities of duress
is not to incur dishonor. When power
is abused, when the unfortunate are
outraged, the disgrace is for those who
invent engines of humiliation and cru
elty, and not lor their victims. Os old
time, it was allowable for the most pious
tq propitiate the internal gods. It is a
question, not of honor and not of dis
honor,‘but simply of an exigent pru
dence, what sacrifices in this natnre the
Southern people are called by the occa
sion to make. They may legitimately
compare the evils of active compliance
with tbe present terms of conquerors
whose power is irresistible, with the
evils of other terms which the same
conquerors may possibly have the ability
and the will to enforce, if the first be
rejected. Can the Supreme Court be
invoked in time to save us from negro
suffrage in “provisional" State elections,
or in the election of delegates to a con
stitutional convention? Will the inili
tary, despite an adverse decision of the
Supreme Court, insist on carrying out
the mandates of Congress in our future
elections ?
If, through such agency, negroes be
come voters perforce, shall our white
voters abstain from the polls and abdi
cate what local power is left to them;
or shall they muster in their full number
to the polls and do their utmost to
maintain the supremacy of the whites
in our State affairs hereafter? These
interrogatories are pertinent to emer
gencies that are swiftly approaching,
and that nothing but some sudden
change now hardly conceivable in the
political situation, can avert. It is
possible, meanwhile, to conceive consid
erations that would make it as much
the duty of the a bites to vote at elec
tions to which, unavoidably, negro
voters were admitted, as it would be for
them to perform an act of self preserva
tion—as it would be for them to protect
their property from flood or fire, or to
defend the lives of their wives and child
ren. But whatever may be the precise
requirements of coming emergencies, it
is above all, needful that our people
should act iu cordial and resolute bar
mony.
One of the most insidioos and sinister
peculiarities of the present reconstruc
tion programme of Congress, is its
tendency to create in this and other
Southern States a Congressional party ;
that is to say, a party distinctly in favor
of accepting the terms and anticipating
the wishes of Congress, on the plea that
poverty, and not will, consents, and
antagonistic to another party composea
of those who should not coucede so
much to the argument of necessity, be
cause not so greatly despairing of the
situation. Such a division of the con
servative ranks in the South could not
but precipitate a reorganization of the
Southern States under radical policy,
and more or less in conloriuity with
radical views end sentiments.
[From the Atlanta Intelligencer, 16th.]
The political “situation” admonishes
us of a power over which the Southern
people hare no control, and cannot,
Have in compliance with its behests,
influence. Under all the surronndings,
surely they cannot help knowing that it
is their duty to bear with manly forti
tude what they cannot avert. In doing
bo, they neither humiliate nor degrade
the rural mi Th. eoaqusred ha**
been subject to the conqueror. True, In
this enlightened age, the conquered have
a right to expect from the couqoerer,
justice aad magnanimity—^oitrce.tem
pered with mercy, and a magnanimity
exceeding that of the Roman Scvpio.oi
whom we read In history. But if this
be denied as, we have only to bear the
denial as becomes men in an age in
which it is esteemed no crime to have
been overpowered by superior force,
and no degredation in submitting thereto.
[From the Montgomery Advertiser, 161b.]
There is no virtue in such a policy
now, because matters are far different
from wbat they were only six weeks
ago. Then we trusted everything to
the President and the faithful little
band that has so heroically stood by
him. But anew leal has been turned
in the chapter of event*, and the Preai
dent by returning With his objections
the new law, confessed his inability to
make further resistance to what he
believed inevitable. He has performed
his part well, and deserves the gratitude
of the whole North and South. But
for that reason we must not abandon
everything in despair. Anew sound
ing must be taken—we eannot afford to
staud still and let every right we have
be lost by the false cry of “do no
thing.”
A cotemporarv expresses our idea on
this subject so clearly that we adopt his
language: “In politics, stagnation is
death. ' It is the one thing to be feared.
Mistakes may be corrected, crimes may
be atoned for; but the do nothing
policy is lata!. Masterly inactivity may
do very well for an individual, but the
party that adheres to it long is dead and
done for. It has no more strength than
a boiled rutabaga: no more cohesion
than a rope of sand. It has neither the
power, nor the influence of a party. It
is nothing but a shell, a collection of
names, a grand array of “men in buck
ram. “It is all very well to talk of
preserving a party for future efficiency.
Future efficiency is good ; hut the only
road that leads to it lies through present
usefulness. It is away far off in the
distance; if we rest on our oais we will
never reach it. If we would cross the
stream we must not sit down on the
bank, if we would reach the summit we
must not rest at the base; and the party
that would have power must strive for
it. Longing for it will not do, hoping
for it will not do, waiting for it will not
bring it; working for it is the only
thing. And the work that makes the
tuture sure must be done in the living
present.
“The present moment is our own,
The next we never saw.”
Union Convention in Alabama.
The Huntsville Advocate publishes
the proceedings of a Union Convention,
held in that city on the 4th instant, in
response to a call of the Executive
Committee. Delegates were present
from only a portion of the State. The
following were the officers of the Con
vention :
President —Hon S. C. Posey, of
Lauderdale.
Vice Presidents —Q. G. Benson, of
St. Clair ; S. F. Kennetnere, of Mar
shall ; H. J. Roberts, of Madison :
Chris. C. Tompkins, of Franklin ; F.
H. Anderson, of Colbert; Alex. H.
McKinney, of Limestone ; Jonathan
Ford, of Morgan ; G. W, Malone, ol
DeKalb ; J. T. Abernathy, of Law
rence ; James W. Stewart, of Lauder
dale ; A. C. Felder, of Montgomery ;
B. F. Saffold, of Perry ; Charles S. G.
Doster, of Autauga ; G. W. Knight, of
Elmore ; W. D. Stanwood, of Lowndes.
Secretaries —W. B-, Figures, of Madi
son ; John V. Gross, of Jackson ; John
H. Binford, of Limestone ; E. T. Par
ker, of Blount ; James W. Ligen, of
Colbert.
Resolutions were adopted, declaring
that “as Union men before the war, or
as sincerely convinced of the wrong and
error of the rebellion, the true policy
now is to protect the recurrence of
armed rebellion.” Therefore, it was
resolved to support such measures ns
will preserve the rights of the people in
the Union, and sustain the Government
against rebellion and overthrow. After
this expression of generalities it was
Resolved , That the policy of inactivi
ty, expressed by the opponents of Con
gress, and the refusal to participate in
the restoration policy of the Law-making
department of the Union, is the work of
a well known hostility to the Union,
and, in the judgment of this Conven
tion, no measures—compatible with the
safety of Republican Government—
could be adopted that would salify this
opposing element.
And for the purpose of securing satis
factory action, it was
’ Resolved, That we recommend to the
true Union men of the different counties
in the State, to hold county meetings
within the next sixty days, and that
those meetings send delegates to a
General Convention, to be held at the
State Capitol, at such time as may
be appointed by the Executive Com
mittee.
After the selection of a committee to
represent the views of the Union party
of the State, at Washington, and the
appointment ot an Executive Commit
tee, the convention adjourned.
The convention was addressed by
General Swayne, commandant of the
late Military District ol Alabama, and
others.
GEORGIA ITEMS.
The Fort Valley ledger is for sale.
We regret to learn that Mr. Brown,
the senior landlord of the excellent
hotel of that name, in Macon, received
a severe fall from the balcony of bis
hotel on Saturday last. The balcony
had been left in an unsafe condition,
preparatory to the erection of an ad
dition to the hotel, and as Mr. Brown is
a man of weight, gave way, and he iell
some eighteen feet, causing a severe
sprain to one ol his ankles and some
ugly bruises, which, the Messenger says,
will lay him up for some time.
The dwelliug house and all the out
buildings at Station No. 2, Central
Railroad, belonging to Mr. b. Kreuson,
were destroyed by fire on Monday morn
"ls%. R. Giddings has assumed
command of the post of Savannah. Col.
Sibley, Lieuts. Hoamer and Moore, Gen.
Lewis, Major Watson, and Upt. Wa •
bridge have gone to the new head
quarters at Macon, to which, also, the
Kith Infantry Band has been transferred.
Nothing further la known of the con
dition of ibo K. T. A. Ga. R. but the
above mentioned, and passengers are in
part over that road. There is no defi
nite information from between Green
wood’s and Chattanooga—or Chattonoo
-0 or of the condition of the road be
tween Chattanooga and Stevenson. But
there is reason to apprehend a very
disastrous state of affairs, involving the
loss ol many lives, a large number of
cattle, and tho destruction of an im
, meuuc amouut of property.
I» Umm there U Strength.
At no time in the years ot affliction,
and danger, and di&eully, during which
our country hu suffered, were uuion
aud harmony among ourselves so essen
tial for onr protection and deliverance
as the? are now, and that not merely
from the perils by which we are imme
diately beset, but from those - which
menace us in the future.
However we may differ as to the
choice of the course which may he
best for us to pursue,- whether it be to
yield a voluntary compliance to tbs
requirements of Congress, to test the
legality of those requirements before
the last court of appeal, or to abide the
issue of events as they may occur with
out action of assent, or resistance, we
certainly ought not to doubt the sin
cerity and patriotism of those who
severally advocate these courses of con
duct, to attribute to them motives of
self interest or ambition, and thus create
dissension and strife among ourselves,
when every hand, and heart, and brain
should unite strength, and love, and
intellect in one great effort to save the
country.
They who advise an immediate ac
ceptance, by the people, of the terms
contained in the Sherman bill, on the
ground that conviction and experience
teach that in that way alone can we
escape further calamity and oppression,
may be unwisely precipitate in their
choice of evils ; but it is unjust to deny
that they are conscientiously of opinion
that of the two they woull choose the
lesser.
They who recommend that before the
people, by their own voluntary act, ab
jure what they believe to be their rights,
degrade the highest privilege of a free
citizen by conferring it on a race inca
pable by nature and training to exercise
it safely, and impose degrading disabil
ities on those who are most exalted by
merit, intellect and reputation, they
should invoke the majesty of the su
preme law to pronounce through its
constituted expounders, whether they
can be legally required to do these
things—may indulge a vain hope which
will only result iu greater disappoint
incut; but it is ungenerous as well as
unjust to question the sincerity of their
convictions, or condemn as resentful re
sistance to authority, a course which is
limited, sanctioned, nay, provided by
law, aud which, employing no other
Bgency than that which the law affords,
implies an unconditional submission to
its authoritative judgement. Again,
they who advise non-action, neither ap
proving nor disapproving by popular
act, the measures imposed by power, but
yielding a passive submission to whatever
fate may be reserved for them, may he
unwise in rejecting the great maxim of
political salvation that “God helps those
who help themselves,” but it cannot be
denied that the record ot the post two
years affords some justification of their
distrust in the conciliatory effects of any
action ot theirs, and some ground for
the belief that concessions, so far from
disarming, have but provoked ag
gression.
Denunciation and ahuse of those who
differ from us, and who cannot see the
past, present and future through our
glasses, will certainly provoke conten
tion among ourselves, increase our
weakness, and aggravate our troubles ;
hut cannot possibly do us any good, not
even gratify our pride ol opinion.
Instead of wrangling and condemning
this man as a selfish demagogue, an
other as n hot headed rebel, and a third
as a sullen malcontent—instead of re
fusing to have anything to do with poli
tics. and allowing “the Yankees and
negroes to fix things their own way,"
let us all confer together with confidence
and good will ; let us employ every means
within our power; let us use every
privilege which we are allowed to exer
cise; let us banish resentment, and all
old differences of party or of opinion,
and let all with one aim, and one desire
make a great effort to save the State,
and regain the blessings of peace. If
some are confident that they are wiser,
more experienced, and abler than others,
let them prove that the confidence is
well founded by the force of argument
and persuasion on the less gifted, and
not by the force ot intolerance aud in
vective.
The question now presented to the
people is surely of magnitude and im
portance enough to absorb the interest
and attention of all, and to call for the
united and harmonious energies ot all,
with a view to its adjustment on the best
terms Which may be attainable. This
is no time for this man or that to seek
to exhibit his influence or acquire pop
ular prominence. Demagogueism in
the present condition of the country—
the love of display and the pursuit of
office —are as revolting as the laugh of
the drunkard in the chamber ol
death.
Whatever course we may determine
to pursue—and God grant that it may
be the wisest and best—let us be united
as a people. Let us not split up into
feeble factions, which will be impotent
for everything but mischief; and before
we think of individual advancement,
fortune or security, let us exhaust effort
to save the brave old State of our homes
and our affections. Xyi.oN.

WILCOX, GIBBS & CO’S
MANIPULATED GUANO!
THIS ARTTCLE IS BEING PREPARED BY US AT OUR PLACE OF BUSINESS
in this City, where wo invite Planters and others interested to call and examine our
stock, and witness the preparation of the above named MANURE. It is composed
entirely of pure and unadulterated GUANOS (of which 25 per cent of the whole mixture
is warranted to be pure No. I Peruvian Guano), and we warrant each and every package
of it to contain the exact ingredients and same proportions as the sample analyzed by
Prof. Shepard, whose analysis and report we annex, as follows :
Charleston, S. C., February 16th, 1867.
Messrs. Wilcox, Gibbs A Cos. :
Gentlemen : The following is my analysis and report upon the sample you have
placed in my hands, of Wilcox, Gibbs A Co.’s Manipulated Guano :
Hygrometrie water 18.60
Combined water and organic matter rich In ammoniacal salts IS.OO
Phosphate of limo 44.50
C rhonate of lime 1.80
Insoluble silicious matter, with considerable traces of per oxide of iron 15.80
Chloride of sodium, sulphates of ammonia, lime, and soda, with loss 1.30
100.00
The present sample shows a very advantageous mixture. It has enough of Peruvian
Guano (say 25 per cent.) for any soil or crop ,- while the great bulk of the preparation
is obviously nn unadulterated natural Guano, rich in organic matter, with considerable
already formed Ammonia (and the material lor its continued production as required by
the crop), together with 44.50 per cent, of Pbospbato of Lime, nearly two per cent, of
which is in a soluble state. If kept up to the standard of this sample, there is no hazard in
predicting that lands treated with 250 or 300 pounds of it to the acre, will he placed in
an effective condition for any crop.
Very respectfully, yours, CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD.
Knowing the composition, as well as judging from the analysis and report of Prof.
Shepard, we aro confident it will prove to be an exeollont MANURE, and pay any
Planter handsomely who ueos it judiciously. Wo would recommend the use of 175 to 200
pounds per acre for Cotton or Coru ; 250 to 300 pounds for Wheat, and that it be applied
the same ns other Guanos—under the bed for Cotton, in tho hill for Com, and broadcast
tor Whoat. This Guano is ready for use, nil the lumps having been thoroughly ground,
and the whole passed through a seive before packing, and it is a very handsome article
in appearance and condition. It is packed in barrels ol about 300 pounds, ami bngs of
200 pounds, and the price will be uniform, as follows : $65 per Ton of 2,000 pounds,
Cash.
Our Agents will sell at tho some price, with necessary expenses addod.
We are now prepared to deliver this Guano in quantities to suit, aud solicit orders
for tho same, which will ho promptly 61!ed.
Wo will also keep, both hero and In Savannah, a good supply of Turo No. 1
PERUVIAN GUANO, which will he sold at the market price; also, l’uro No. 1
PIIGSNIX GUANO, nt $55 per Tou of 2,000 pounds, in Savannah, or SOO here—Cash.
All orders should he addressed to us at AUGUSTA, UA.
