MJi representations. A telegram from New York, which we i opied yesterday, gave tl»e following as tfie language of n special dispatch from Montgomery. Ala,, to the New York dated Sept. 20th: “The Conven tion passed an ordinance, by a vote of o'.i to 10, practically abolishing the right of negroes t>, testify in ooprtH of justice; to continue! in force uutU the I-egislaturo shall make, a law on the subject." Now, the troth is, tliere never was any right enjoyed l,y tho negroes to testify iu eearts ef justice, in Alabama, and con sequently no such rigid could have been “nlmli,“lied" The Convention simply refrained from acting mi the subject, Olid left the matter to tho Legislature—the ••right" <>f tlie negroes in this respect remaining tho same a* it always was. Tho dispatch iva* lie doubt worded as above w ith a view to make political capi tal for the radicals at the North, aud to fan the excitement which they are are deavoring to keep up nguinst the .South Of a similar churucter was a report from Alabama published at tho North sumo ton days or a fortnight ago. ft was to the effect that the Convention had indicated, by its piooeediugs, u refusal to repudiate the Cmifederuto debt. So great wn* tlie effect ef this illspntoh that tlie late auapcusiou of pardons to Alntiinniims appears to Imre been based upon it. But this report was ns fn|froln the truth us the other. The Convention bad simply refused, when tho proposi tion was first offered, to repudiate the debt of the Slutr contracted during the rebellion. It lias since, however, repu- dinted thut debt. These nre hut two of muny instances in which the Southern people have been grossly anil designedly misrepresented ainco the wav was brought to a cloae.

These Cumberland table laud* aro in tersected in all directions by mountain torrent*, river* and creek*, many of which run iu ravine* and mountain pasHO* from .‘IPO to 500 fo« t deep, and *omo of them, a* for instance the h>e<|uatcheo river, form cpnaiderablo valloy*.

There, as in the bt^te of J’ennujl vania, the petroleum appear* in many places ou tho *iurfate of the earth, and on the wator of spring* and crook*. Some twenty year* ago, when petroleum won hero scarcely known, a salt oxcTomonl existed in a part of Tennesson along the Cumberland mountain*. A groat many wolls woro bored for salt brine, in every Instance salt water was obtainod by boring a fow hundred foot; but in ull cases, first carburetted hydrogen gauisbued from tim well, end later, petroleum ; thus all talt wells wore ruined and had to bngiven up. The appearance of potroleum, which in many instances was kindlod and burnt for day* and month*, was not then hailed with joy as the “striking of oil” now is; it wu* only rogretted then, but now is re- mom bereJ ami taken advantage oh Thorn •ro a great many othor indications whirl) put the existence of immense quantities of petroleum all over tho territory of the Cumberland mountains and the adjacent counties, beyond a doubt. Tbo indica tions are hero, indeod, much more tro- uuent than in othor Stale*. Consequently the oil excitoinent com moncod here a* booh as the Southern rebellion, which was hero iu Tenne**ee. aud especially on the table lands of tho Cumberland mountain*, much more formidable than any where else, allowed a freo intercourse. A* early as in the month of April, im mediately aftor tho nurrundur of the South ern armies, potroleum companion wen* formed in Tenr.osceo. Agent* were sent out to leato and purchaso oil territory, and now all the beet oil lands are either leased or purchased. The com panic* rot horn upon a morn solid basis than at Dm North. As an exumplo, take the Tennoh- rcu Mountain Petroleum & Mining Com- iwriy, under the presidency of M^j. Gen. L. il.|Kousicau. This company possesses more than 50,000 acres of oil lands, tho best that the Stato of Tennessoo afford*. On some of the lauds there are natural oil spring*; tocna surround former salt wells, which were ruined by the appearance of petroleum ; some lie in deop ravihua and valleys, where the lower rocks am so im pregnated with petroleum, and havo such a strong smell of it, that the oil cannot bo deep below these rocks: on othors there have beea eruption* of carburetted by- drogon. Altogether this company pos sesses largo oleaginous treasures, and may expect a rich roward for their considerable expenses. Other companies possess oil lands similar in quantity and quality. Gkolouiht. Wo copy the following from tho Charleston correspondence of tiff) Now York IforUf: A most disgraceful affair happened boro some time ago, which, in all its details, has just come to my knowledge. A most respectable colored man (a freeman, not » froedman), challenged a naval otHccr (white) to mortal combat, which kind in vitation to pistols without coffee was re spectfully declined by the latter. Here aro tho fact* of tho case : A Federal naval officer became ac quainted with Nat P , well known lor many voars back a* a mo^t respecta ble colored uian, and tho best rostauran- teur in this city; in fart Nat has (when parlies and balls wero to be gotten un in line style) always been as it were tbo i>ol- monico or Maillard of Charleston; and perhaps no man, whito or colored, can gel up such thing* in bettor style than Nat F , at least in this city. Mr. Officer gota acquainted with Nat, and nssuroshim that he has uo foolish prejudices about the superiority of one race over another; that he regards Nat as a true type of a Carolina gentleman; that he is desperately in lovo with Ndt's beautiful daughter, whom he wishes to marry, preparatory to taking her to bis Northern homo, where •he can tnovo as an acknowledged equal in a more congenial sphore of (while) so ciety. Nat is duped and cousonls, so docs Nat’s daughter; they become engaged, elope, omitting the marriage ceremony, roturn after a while, still unmarried. Nat accosts Mr. Officer in tho streets, altuscb him for his rascality, and assuring him that a true type of a Carolina gentleman has but one mode oi rodrc*» when his honor is assailed. Bo (Nat) oxpeciw Mr. Offieer to moat him as an equal and givo him satisfaction at the pistol's mouth, In any place ho should be ploasod to suggest. Mr. Officer declined, and some people tell me (but for this I cannot vouch) that Nat did then ami thero give bliu the good sound drubbing he so richly merited. ..gregatlw... — — —. .
