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 ? Hew Books. 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.

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.

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.
