COUSTY MEETISC.
We have been requested by many citizens
t o announce that a meeting ol voters of
Chatham county will be held at the Ex
change Long Hoorn, on Thursday evening
next, at six o'clock, for the purpose of ap
pointing four delegates to the Convention ol'
the First Congressional District, to meet at
Blackshear, on the 27th iust., to select two
delegates to represent this District in the Na
tional Union Convention at Philadelphia, on
f ile 14th of August.
'i'ilE MEETING THIS EVKMMi.
H has been announced that a meeting of
liie voters of Chatham couuty will be held
this evening at the Exchange Long Hoorn for
the purpose ol appointing delegates to a
District Convention to select delegates to
represent this district in the National Union
Convention at Philadelphia.
11 the ptiuciples which underlie this move
ment are to lie asserted successfully they
mu t be asserted with all the emphasis which
can lie bronchi to bear in the South as well
as the North.
They involve not only’ the present safety of
the Government but the future existence of
1 he institutions which cost so much blood
and treasure to establish by our revolutionary
1'atucra. They involve the leading lealures
and peculiarities of our political fabric, and
their defence against the revolutionary as
saults which a corrupt and factious Con
gress is bringing to bear against them.
We therefore tall upon the earnest and
conscientious friends of the policy asserted
in the call for the Philadelphia Convention
to take immediate and wise action under it,
with a view to participating in its counsels,
und ultimately to the organization, it is to be
hoped, of an overwhelming popular ratifica
tion of the action of the President in oppo
sition to those who are warring upon the
ijjeat interests of the country. At a time
assistant Northern friends appeal to us for
.- ... . -hen the spirit of disorganization
is nte in the la*. , y . .... .
, ..when reckless politicians
aVe . 7^‘- V assalhu = sacred rights to
which all freemen are enti
Ut becomes
;m- imperative duty of the peo,.v 0 f the
"hole country to conic to the rescue, to <le-
teud and vindicate these rights by every
proper means in their power. To do this ef
fectually, all mere party connections and
piejudices ought to be disregarded ;
• he preservation and perpetuation of
constitutional government alone should
become the paramount object of the
unceasing and united efforts of all. It is for
this patriotic purpose that the meeting is
•■ailed this evening
They who have, at> -« “BP” 4 of the
Presider* 1 ' ~ TSe policy, the equal representa-
uonof Georgia in the Federal councils, and
the best interests of the State, cannot
therefore go wrong in the selection of
delegates to the District Convention.
With n single eye to the great State
interests in the Union, a delegation can
be chosen to the Piladelphia Convention
from our leading men which will have no
superior in that body, either in the eonfi-.
dence ol the President or of the people of
Georgia. YVc sincerely hope there will be no
j-alousies, no strife, no Hnwortby ambition
in tills matter, it lias been we!) pdd that we
are in that crisis now when We cannot afford
to go wrong. Tlie National Union Conven
tion will be one of the most important ever
held in this country, and in it we desire that
Georgia shall be represented by her ablest
and best men, patriotically chosen in concert
by ail who have her interests and the sup
port of the President, at heart.
OXSTRECTIOK OF TUB MAP OF
ecxope.
The intelligence wants confirmation of an
armistice between'the contending forces in
Germany as the prelude to a suspension of
hostilities- This report was in anticipation
of the event of peace between the powers at
war. A short conflict was almost inevitable,
unless we imagine that it was to become
general, and involve all the great powers.
The state of the Austrian finances forbids the
idea of a protracted contest. Should France
and Russia be drawn into the conflict it
would then become “a war of giants The
probability Is, therefore, of a speedy cessa
tion of hostilities. On the hypothesis that
such will be the fact, let us prefigure the ac
tion of a Congress as the natural result of a
cessation oi hostilities.
Such a Congres s is the ardent wish of Louis
Napoleon- It is the aspiration as well of al! the
influential statesmen aa the people of France.
The treaties of 1815 are. their abhorrence.
They were the evidence of French humilia
tion. The most popular statesman in France
would be he that would reduce those treaties
to the condition of waste paper- Napoleon
has on various occcaaions evinced his sym-
pathy with the national sentiment on this
head, and very recently in a speech from the
throne to the legislative body.
If a general Congress should assemble it
would probably be under the auspices of the
French ruler,' and his influence would be felt
in its deliberations. One of the chief pur-
purposes of such a body would be the recon
struction of the map of Europe, giving lu
creased power to the minor and weaker
states, and reducing the relative weight of
others who are dangerous from too great
proximity. Of course there would be as
time disturbance as possible of arraugemeuts
previous to the treaty of W! ,Jl
the diplomacy that resulted in that treaty
would have to be nullified, and its conclu
sions reversed.
The representatives of France will seek to
cliaoge her boundary ou the side of Germauj',
making the Rhine the dividing line. W bether
Ibey will succeed is more a matter of doubt.
That Prussia would aid in this change is not
improbable, should France, in a spirit of re
ciprocity, help to render her territory
more compact, brtbe union of East and West
Prussia, compensating Hanover by a cession
u some other part of the German territory.
The consolidation of the Italian kingdom
by the annexation of Venelia to the dornin-
nns of Victor Emanuel is likely to form a
leading object of such a Congress. It can
only be effected, of course, by the abolition
of Austrian domination in Italy. The House
o; Hapsburg would be compelled to relin-
qiish all pretension to rule in that country.
Tne union of all Italy under one bead and
me government would forever put an end to
the distentions of that country, rendering
it ihe battle T neld, as Belgium was at one pe-
rifff, for the other powers ol Europe. Italy
wijuld become a great State with her widely
separated territory and diverse governments
consolidated.
it would be a great consummation could
tbi Scandinavian powers be united under
on* central authority. The divorce of Nor-
wty from Denmark and its union with Swe-
ihu was one of the great injustices of the
trotv of Vienna. Denmark has demon-
stated her weakness in the recent encounter
wih the allies, Austria and Prussia. Nature
aua circumstances appear to indicate the
unifci. under a central authority, of the
threl Scandinavian powers, Sweden. Den-
luaii and Norway.
Tie state of the German Confederation
wonll it is rational to suppose, occupy some
portion of the attention of such a Congress.
The fact that a number of the States sided
nal commenting upon the inefficiency of the
present Congress, says the whole result of its
action on the reconstruction question may be
summed up by saying that it has given to the
freedmen a shadow called civil rights, while,
on the other hand, it has led to the formation
ol two sectional political parties—the radical
Republicans and the “National Unionists.”
It says, also, it is too late for Congress to
undo its evils, but it might do a little good
by an immediate adjournment. We are of
the same opinion.
Philadelphia convention.
A Convention of the people of Virginia has
been called, to send delegates to the Phila
delphia Convention, the movement being
zealously sustained, we -Relieve, by all the
leadiDg journals of the State. In all the
Southern States conventinns have been or
are being called, in respouse to tbeinvitation
to meet the conservative men of the North in
convention, and we are gratified to observe
that those presses in onr own and other
States which at first disapproved of Southern
representation in the Convention have either
recanted their objections, or, for the sake of
harmony, have forborne their opposition.
In an editorial endorsing the call for a
Convention of the Seventh Congressional
District, the Atlanta Intelligencer says:
‘■Time is short, and action should be prompt
on the part of all who would sustain Presi
dent Johnson in the war waged against him
by the Radical party ol the North and West.
We know the purposes of that party, aud we
knoiv to '.vhat woe it would doom our
people. Negro equality, socially and
politically ; disfranchisement, confiscation,
degradation, blood have been their avowed
purposes. God save the South from such
rule, and incline the hearts of our people to
Later loin Europe.

OBITUARY.
Another good man lias fallen! Captain WILLIAM
H. DAVIS departed this life ou tho 30th day of June,
ltitiC, in the sixty-flrst year of his age, and after a long
aad painful illness, which he bore with great patience
and resignation.
Captain Davis was a native ol Savannah, and always
resiiled here. For nearly forty years he was engaged
in business at the Market, wher^ liis face was as fa
miliar as liis habits of industry were remarkable.
But it was not only in attention to liis private affairs
that he was an example. His charities, though unob
trusive, were without stint; and his loss in that re
spect will be long and severely felt. Avoiding every
thing like display, he could seldum be induced to ac
cept office, for which his great probity and sound
judgment would well have fitted him. For a short
time he served the people of Savannah faithfully in
the City Council; and it is known that his retiring dis
position would never permit him to accept a uomina
tion for the Mayoralty or a seat in the General As
sembly.
For many years Captain Davis was the honored
First Lieutenant of the Republican Blues, one of the
oldest and most effective of the military organizations
in Georgia. When that corps was firmed into two
companies, he was placed in command of one, and in
that capacity served zealously and faithfully during
the late war, at Fort Pulaski aud other points on the
river.
Besides a whole community, Captain Davis leaves a
wife and three children to deplore the loss which has
fallen upon them, Although he had passed the me
ridian of Ilfs, yet he was stricken down in the midst
of usefulness and honor, leaving behind the record of
an honest man, and giving good hope that he has gone
to an eternal re9t. The writer of thi9 feeble tribute
is well assured that the words he hns used in drswing
this imperfect portraiture are not those of eulogy
only, but of truth. ‘
UUICK TRIPS TO NEW YORK.
It is interesting to observe the spirited con*
test which is-no.w springing up between the
managers of the different lines of railway for
the immense transportation traffic between
New York and New Orleans. One of the
most enterprising competitors for this mag
nificent prize is the Illinois Central Railroad,
which advertises to convey passengers
through Irom one point to the other in three
day ami a half time. YVc question very
much the practicability of such rapid loco-
1110! ion. A New Orleans paper, however, i n
calling the attention of the public to Ibis
route, says large numbers of people are
daily availing themselves of tin- promised
advantage. The lime consumed on theotber
routes is from four and a half to six days!
Bid, as we hail occasion to demonstrate
in these columns a short time since, the most
direct line of communication between the
two points named will be the one established
by the anticipated couueclion of the Atlan
tic and Gulf road with the road spanning the
Northern base of the Florida peninsula.
This route, which will be unrivaled for
speedy and comfortable transit, traverses
the Atlantic slope to this city, thence to St.
Marks. Fla., aud thence again to New Or
leans by ocean navigation, describing, if
not an air line, a curve so slight ns scarcely
to he appreciable when compared witli the
tortuous route via Cairo ami the city of
Chicago.
It is well known also that during *’
ter season transportation is - me win-
structed, and not unfrequ” greatly ob-
pended for days, oa * v -ntly entirely sus-
the uceumlaikm' me Northern route by
suffering >* -> of ice and snow, and much
Yigb experienced by travellers in that
.northern latituje from the intensity of
the cold. Whereas on the contemplated
Southern mute no such impediments or
inconveniences will be met with to impose
additional expense and to increase the haz
ards incident to railway transportation.
took tlie part of Prussia affords conclusive
evidence that there is some radical de
fect in the system. Conld consolidation
(which is now the favorite idea among states
men on both sides of the Atlantic) be found
practicable between the smaller States, some
of which are no larger than a moderate
sized city—it would greatly tend to improve
it. The Diet of Frankfort seems to us little
better than a mob of learned men from the
Universities, in most part, destitute of prac- ,
tical ability, with incurable sectional preju
dices.
The anomalous condition of the Pope, it is
highly probable, will engage the deliberations
of such a Congress. The blending of tem
poral with ecclesiastical authority finds no
parallel in any but semi-civilized times. The
separation of these jurisdictions would result
in giving a higher sentiment of veneration to
the holy office of the Supreme Pontiff, while
it would remove the matter from the. arena
of polities which should, never form a subject
of controversy.
We have thus briefly indicated a few of the
topias that is likely to form a part oi the
consultations of a Congress that appears to
be the natural sequence of the war.

THE AOJOUBNMKNT CONGRESS,
We obssrve'in the late, news from Wash
ington indications of an increasing desire on
the part of many mambaia of Congress to
adjourn at an early period, that they may
return to their homes for the purpose of at
tending to their respective interests in the
approaching elections. Although there is
but little regular business to do aside from
the pending military bill the majority party
seem to be uawil|ingjJo fix a date for the
conclusion of the session. This is ow'mg to
the reported determination of tbe President
to remove all incumbents of Federal offices
who are<4himieal to . his restoration policy.
Not a few of the most rabid opponents of the
President ba?e signified tbeir willingness to
remain in session until tbe date for tbe meet
ing of tbe next Coagrees, if the alleged
object of the President can be defeated in no
other way. It baa been proposed to appoint
a committee composed of Senate me*-'
who shall remain in Washington ' ***
recess as a check upon Uia ' * d tirtogthe
lion” of the Execute ' P r0 «nptive ac-
Coagress toco-' «-
many of' .uier this power 1a doubted by
if b . those who would adopt the scheme
., promised success. Tbe fact la the party
is so encompassed with difficulties aud
troubles by the fearless opposition of the
President and tbe political tactics of Mr.
Seward that its leaders are at a loss what to
do-
It is stated that tbe WUa and resolutions
reported during the session is far in excess
of any previous session—seven hundred and
sixty-nine bills and one hundred and eighty-
six joint resolution!. Nearly a third of these
bills had reference to “reconstruction,’’ which
explains why Congress has made each a com
plete muddle of that intereating subject
Nearly every member of the party which has
been so laboriously engaged in running the
