A N'ATTO-V A!, CONVENTION.
ii imp been asserted in certnin quarters
<v a - iv-sident Johnson favors the calling of
a National Convention for the permanent set
tlement of the many‘difficulties ruining outoi
the Into war. It is doubtful whether the
President has expressed any such desire,
though it is possible ho would not entertain
objections.
A Convention composed of moderate men
from all .sections would effect much good:
h„ if it should bo composed of such mate-
r i as is now to be found in most of the de
liberative bodies of the country, its action
would be likely to result in harm. The best
thb'-H that could be done, perhaps, would be
for Congress to adjourn, that the members
might go home and mingle among their con-
mi dents. It is believed a great chapge has
b-K-i going on in the minds of the people
' during tho last few weeks, of which their
rer.roseniiitives in the National Legislature

hnnm anu mingle with the masses, and ira-
b’.bo something of their spirit of moderation
ii is possible they might return to their seat:
with opinions entirely different from those
they express and advocate now. Of out
thing they may rest assured—unless they do
pay more attention to the views and wishes
. of -he people, and less to the promptings o!
-L. Ir own jaundiced minds, when their pre-
c. m terms of office expire but very few oi

Every steamer, says a New York city ex

of families lrom all that part of the country,
who are going to speDd the summer in New

The Charleston, Savannah and Richmond
packets, loo, arrive crowded, and la ail
probability the emigration for health and
ideasure will be kept up uutii late in the
summer. Most of these are probably people
of slender means, yet it is a far presumption
that they have saved sufficient from the
waste and wreck of the conflict to enab e

One may thus see that though the radicals hi

there are, nevertheless, sqme things they

AVAR IN EUROPE.
The explosive material for so long a time
pe,,i up lias at length found an escape, and
EurojA. is about being again involved in
i’-eucral Louiilities. England bas declared
be i urpose not to engage in war. directly
or indirectly; but w no believes if a war be
comes general that she wi'l be able to avoid
being mixed up in the conflict. It tbe speech
of Louis Napoleon nt Auxiene is correctly
x-ported it indicates alienation between
El lend and France. Louis Napoleon Las
nev.-r biloro expressed himself sc, strongly
in relation to the treaty of 1816, to which
Lo.d-tnd in common with the othei
greet powers was a patty. Interpreting
L' s Napoleoa’d purposes by the light o:
thio drcluration it betokens a long foregout
fouclaaioc. He has been, no doubt, shap
ing - Lid measures with a view to the con
tingency of war. TIis recent change o:
poiicv with regard to Mexico is now easily
comp’eberded. A war on bis hands iu
Europe end another with the United States
would oe rather too much even with hi-

Prospects of the Cotton Crop in Florida.
We have been permitted to make the following ex
tract from the letter of an intelligent planter in Flo
rida tc hie friend in this city:
Caba Biaxca. May ITtb. 1868.
* * ♦ * # “My stand of cotton is as good as I
■onld wish it to be. I have also a good stand of corn,
i have not so much cotton planted by twenty-five acres
-s I expr-oted, having been disappointed in seed. It
,3 as well, however, for I think I have as much crop
planted as I can well cultivate. We are having much
iain, and should it continue one week longer the cot-
."U crop of Florida wiU be a goner. There is at this
ilme the finest prospect fora hay crop in Florida I
have ever seen anywhere. Iam honest when I say
i think (judging from what I saw on the road home
md since In this neighborhood) that one-fourth of the
land started to be cultivated, and which is planted,
•vlll have to be thrown out or discarded for this year.
}u several of the largest plantations in the State I saw
-it-lils of one and two hundred acres iu ootton with fair
stan' 1 !, but grass three to four inches above the cott >u
iu the drills; and not-oue single field did I see on the
vitoie road from Jacksonville to the Junction that was
•u anything like good order. Some must be thrown
iway, or all lest omplaints of bad stands, and no
arnds at all, are very prevalent. Much of the cot
ton planted has died, and corn hat been planted in
i luce of it. The shortest sort of crop is certain, and
• f a man was to offer me a bet of two to one I would
Let that not one million of bags of coiton will be made
his year. Florida is certainly better off than any
other Southern 8.ate, having had more seed, and more
new or last year’s seed, than any other State I reckon,
fat she lias not had an eighth of a supply of good
seed. Much the largest portion of the cotton planted
s old seed, and you can In every instance tell it; the
plant is not vigorous and healthy, and that which
lives lo mature will not glv eo good a yield.
"Negroes are not working well, and when the
weather gets hotter they will work sti.l worse. They
cave heard in this county that tha Congress has made
i “Miscount,” as they call it, of five dollars on every
icndrid pouuds of cotton raised; thev say tbev don't
l'ke to make any crop which has a “discount" on i',
■Ud they will not mate any more cotton than they can
aelp. This I find is a pretty general feeling among
hem. The prevent low price of cotton is having
atuch effect With them also. They say, “‘Well, if we
oiske cotton it ain’t worth anything; wa had bet:ei
nake corn and potatoes, for we can eat them and can’t
at cotton I ’’
The writer states that on most of the plan
tations the negroes do not more than abont
aaif work, and that it is impossible to drive
them, The ov erseer on a neighboring plan
tation, finding that he could not make the
negroes do faithful work, told his employer
two months since that he was doing him no
service by overseeing his force; that he de
sired to quit, as he could not knowingly rob
v man, and he felt that to remain and receive
hi3 wages as overseer would be robbery. The
man did quit, nt-id the necinpe om new wo«ii
ing as they please, the employer going only
once a week to give out their rations.

C'i»e, of couise, tor any excesses wbich the

James A. Briggs, formerly Bute Agent of Ohio In

‘Why, Briggs, I believe there is even s system of fe-

The Imeta Library,
The library of the late Mr. A. A. Smets, of this city,
has for half a century been one of the chief objects of
public interest in Savannah. Magagine articles have
been written abor t it—a series of four learned and
elaborate papers from tbe pen of the Bev. Or. W. B.
Stevens, having appeared in the “ Magnolia” yean
ago. and an article with a portrait and biographical
sketch of Mr. Smets in DeBow'e Review, besides num
berless other notices from sources of less note. Tour
ists passing through Georgia have always sought it as
one of the Celebrities of the State, and it has in not a
few eaeee even attracted distinguished scholars and
biographers from a distance to explore riches which It
•lone, of all tbe libraries on this side of the Atlantic,
possesses. In 1859 a paper on the "curious library'
of Mr. Smets was read before the New England His
torical and Genealogical .Society of Massachusetts,
which characterized it as “one of the mist choice in
this eountry." Mr. Smets continued up to the time
of his death to add to the rich stores of his library.
With adi igenceand an enthusia-m which increased
from year to y ear, he frequented all known repesitoi
of rare books, attended auction sales of relics-of lite
rary interest far and near, and twice Visited Europe to
indulge what had become almost hi* ruling passion—
ihe collecting of literary curiosities.
The removal of the fk uily from the mansion, in
which a large room, fire and burglar-proof, built ex
pressly for the purpose, contains the library, and other
circumstances which render it impracticable to keep
the library together have determined the heir to put
it up for sale, and within a short time it is probable
the Smets Library wil: have gone from Savannah to
i nrich the alcovee of some of the great libraries at the
North.
Although Mr. Smeta' peculiar forte was the collec
tion of bibliothlcal curiosities, it must not b* inferred
that his library Is simply a literary museum. On the
contrary, it embraces the usual department* of history,
science and belles lettres, and the moat popular v. orki
on general subjects. The volumes are all of tne beat
editions, and lor the most part in sumptuous tin Lags,
and aside from Its intrinsic value, and as a specimen
of book-keeping, the library is one of uncommon ele
gance and taste. Tho whole number of volumes is
abou^ight thousand.
We cannot do more than glance rapidly at a few of
ihe many rare and curious works that are -pread out
before the visitor to the library, including besides
books, manuscripts of distinguished writers and frag
ments of historical and antiquarian value. There le
also s large and valuable collection of foreign auto
graphs, filling thirty bouad volumes.
The olde-t manuscript in the library Is one execu
ted in the 9th century. It is a oopy of the “Morelia
in Job,” written in the 6th century by Gregory I. It is
a laige folio, written in Latin, on vellum. In double
columns. The covers are very thick and worm eaten,
with brass clasps, backs, and conical side studs, in the
old monastio style of binding. On the fly-leaf, in a
different hand, ia a prayer for the rest of the soul of
Uhariemagne.
The next in chronological order ia the beautiful
manuscript of ”Le Bomaunt de la Boss," which car
ries us back to the days of the Troubadours and tha
romantic chivalry and Provencal poetry of the 18th
century. The manuscript ia a Urge quarto, double
columued, with the initial letter of each column rub
ricated and set out at a little uUtance from the sUnxa.
the top letter of aaoh oolumn being ornamented with
curious heads, arabesques and devices.
It is written on vellum in gothic French characters,
and illuminated with ninety-two pictures, embracing
a variety of figure* designed to elucidate the text.
The history of this work is excedlngly nch in literary
interest, it being probably the most ancient poem in
thrromance language. From a-partly obliterated co
lophon, it appears that this manuscript was expressly
written tor Lady de Cottcey in ISM.
A most splendid manuscript U an octavo copy of
“Rsbanus Machabcorum libro. duo.”. It is written
upon very delicate vellum, and the exquisitely fine
chirography Is the penection of writing in the 18th
century. The Initial letters are elegantly embellished
with curious devices, and ar# mostly in gold and blue.
The margins also are beautifully wreathed with flower*.

him, in case he marchaff through South Carolina, to

the rules of war would allow him. I know not whether

Ther# is a number of other manuscripts, some of them
ia Trench, being elegantly embellished and executed,
ami all of them cf untold historical and literary value.
Among the monograph specimens oi ancient writ
ing ii. a rare and splendid Egyptian papyrus. This
paj yrus is about 2U inches long and 10 inches broad,
and be.-idcs its many bieroglypUlcal characters con.
tains six pictorial designs,embracing a great variety ot
Tgures in the Egyptian style of drawing, and is sup
posed by the b.st authorities to ba about 3,000 years
old!
There are also several old parchment deads grants,
written in the 12th century, which are curious in
themselves, and valuable for their a Associations: But
tbe most valuable ol these aiugle papers is an oi iginal
Bull of Pope Iuuocst III., written at Bom* on th. 21th
of February, 1212. It ia six inches square, written in
email angular letters, on thick parchment, bearing the
original fold of the Epistle.
Not the least interesting and valuable among th*
richast of tho library ar* th* Albania, soma of them
two centuries old, containing the autographs of some
ol the most disunguishsd men of th* 17th century.
Ti e autographic treasures of Mr. Smets, including
a manuscript of nineteen pages from th* pen of
Horace Walpole; a manuscript of Laurence k terns, the
author of “Tristram Shandy," and MSS. copy of Addi
sou's poems, in his own hand-writing. The collection
of early printed works. Is no less rich and complete
than the other departments of th* library. Tha oldest
book of this kind in tbe Smets library it one
printed by Die inventor of printing, entitled “Au
gustine Liber de Sancta Virgiuitate,” first edition
printed at Mentx iu 1160. Two other works of St.
Augustine, printed by Fust aiul Scheffer, within A few
years after tola date, are also In thl* collection,
then, are three books emanating from tb* triumvirate
of the May ent* printer*—tha actual impressions of the
types ol' Gutenberg, Flint and Scheffer. Thar* are*
number of works of about th* same date, very rare
and of grsat antique value. T
Soma old books from tha prats of Wm. Caxtoo, who
first Introduced printing into England, txfloh th* col
lection. “The Game an^ Flay of Chess*," tha first
book printed in England, ia among these To enumer
ate the titles merely of the rare end onrione sped-
mens of the early editions of tha early printers be-
' looping to the Smets Library, would require more
space than we can allow. All theae works ere of

to obtain, and so eagerly an they sought after that e
first edition of Boccarcio'e Decameron waa sold for th*
enormous prio* of A2.260 or abont $10,000. Many of
the block-letter books of tb* 18th century in th* col
lection of Mr. Smeta are of extreme rarity even in
England, and it may be safely doubted whether some
of them oould be duplicated In America.
This remarkable collection of books, th* extent and
richness of which this rapid survey can convey hot
an iteparfset idea ot ia soon to be taken from its
shelve* and pnt np on tha market. Jta loss to Savan
nan must be reckoned among tha 'calamities of th*
war—a misfortune which can be born* th* more
cheerfully, however, when it ia reflected that th* li
brary has at least escaped the ravage* of an invading
army which destroyed ao many other monument* of
wealth and culture in the South.

Who Prevented the Recognition qfetHx Confed
eracy—It seems from the late debate in the British
Parliament, that D’lsraeli, the great Tory leader, was
maiuly Instrumental in preventing a recognition of
th* Southern Confederacy during the war. In his
speech be said:
“No; I oonfess it, there were members on this aide
of the House—more than one man of considerable
ability—who took a very decided view, and believed it
to be for the honor and interest of England that the
Southern State* should be recognized. They did me
the honor of consulting me upon the subject, and I
endeavored to moderate their feeling*. And what waa

the country.”
