uI Coiivention I
Wo have talked with par ties from
different portioiia of our county in
regard to tho holding a convention,
and wo find u majority opposed to it.
Not thuf they tljink our constitution
needn no no ametidmont, but bocauae
they fear that if wo netid men to At-
lanty they will do no bettor than our
loginlaturo hu« dono for tho paal fow
yoaiH. Tho truth i«, our people have
lost all confidence in the promises of
politicians, and if a convention in
called, it ia feared it will be largely
made up of aspirants for office.
Tho time bun coino when our poo*
plo mubt take the government into
their own hands, and repudiate party
nominations and tricky politicians,
ami select men for oflieo who havo
the good of the country at heart, ro-
gat%csh of party. Moflt of our prem-
•nt purtisans are for self first, party
next, and the good of the country,
never.
War in I'nrope.
, It set uiu that all tho efforts looking
to the peaceable adjustment of the
quarrel between Bussia and Turkey
have came to naught. Wo publish
the following dispatch, tho latest we
have from that quarter:
Lien,on, April 17. - The order of
tho day announcing a dccla ration of
war has not boon issued. In officio 1
quarters it is represented that, tho
present situation compels ltunaia, in
a certain degree, to net single handed,
ItiiHsia alone having mobilized. The
abrupt manner in which the porto re
jected the protocol would mak< demo
bilization oil Rush in’s purl, appear like
a retreat. Turkey, it is pointed out
desires a contlict, and forces on the
war. In her circular note she not
only rejected tho protocol, but in
principle denied to tho European pow
ers the right and facility of urging, in
any way, infernal reform in Turkey,
or demanding guarantees for the exe
cution and control of thorn amelira-
tions. Tims an entirely new state of
things him bee n crest< d by Turkey, by
which even the husiu of a conference
has been sot aside. Tui key having
rejected any opportunity of giving a
pacific turn to affairs, now urges for
ward a decision by arms. It is hence
concluded that Russia, who ia now in
uruiu and has manifested her desire
for peace, cannot retreat.
Honor to Whom Honor «>* Due.
Wo find tho following corn spond-
cnoo and endorseunont of our able
representative, in the Romo Tribune
of the 15th :
Wo nro not so hidobouud as to
withhold our piandits from a man
who dcsorves them, oven though we
have differed with him in tho past, It
affords us a real pleasure therefore to
award to our distinguished Repre
sentative, lion, W. H. Felton, the ful
lest moaouro of praise for the per
sistent and untiring efforts ho lias
made in behalf of his constituency.
How well ho 1ms succeeded t he follow

last month. Ttio Irinli eelrbpate'-l St,
I’liirick’it day with due pomp and
splendor, mid many u sou of Erin,
with a sprig of eeda* pinned yo his
ooftf. and brick in hie hut, waved bin
club independently, feeling that he
lived in a country where free citizen
ship was recognized, and no Engl Eh

lo the calaboose, and lituso that were
not laid nj> for repairs went to tho
ball and bad a hrnhid coupled to
tbeir anna, and they tripped (bo light
fanbn-lie loft until the woe hina* hours,
each one fi cling next morning like
thn ttyao that was neat for and could
not corns. They nro a happy set of
people, and if they will light now and
then Ihey nro not to bl.uiin for .t—it
is their apet /"i\
Tho next excitement was our city
election for .Mayor ami Aldermen.
Ji- f | notability and rowdyism locked
horns, and 1 am happy to state that
the latter was defeated by n hand
some vole, 100 majority, and wo also
elected a respectable set of aldermen.
Merit is tho thing that carries tho
day here.
We urn burdened with a. surplus of
idle men, especially gamblers, sport
ing men and dead bt a Is generally,
and tho ory is, still they come. The
imperial ion is greater than exporta
tion, '.Vr would like to spring up a
demand for them somewhere—wo are
overstocked and could spare a fow
Ihonsand.
Wc havo a Inigo delegation of I,la
yers, doctors, preachers, clerks and
professional iijen generally, half of
whom do not malm i nnUgh to pay
their board and washing, not count
mg in tub ion ., A • Kvt i.y one that
comes exp. eta to liml a b -unlifnl ,aip
ply of money without much labor.
Money is as a -area here as any where,
and Some tiroes it lo. ks like it is
scarcer.
There are plenty of entile buys out
hero that would make tio.l elas-i law
yers, doctors, Ac., in lie old staff .
I can go out in tlio street any day
and get as tunny k mds as 1 want for
their board, and the beat Kalin ins paid
ordinary clerks is MO a monlh, and
it rests $2ti a month to p.,y board,
and by the lime ll„,y gay washing
bills and e.lothing. where is tbeir
profit ? Echo answers, ivli. i. V Jlv
going on a farm Ihey can get $15 a
month and tbeir board, and in cotton
picking time can get, one , liar a hun
dred pounds for picking, and tlsir
board, tint you see tli.-i : is too niueli
work attache . lo (his, and it, is not
high-lolled enough, and they feel d.
graded in such sport. To till-tlim,.-
who expect to come hero and antici-
pata getting clerkships, my advice b.
you is to stay where yon are; but to
tllo-e who l Xpert to farm, w,
come, ns wo havo tho riches! and mo.-.t
productive soil the sun ever shone
upon. Let Uioho who collie be sure
and come with some money ahead.
I lie people nro much agitated at
present on tho grasshopper guest :o;i.
These formidable pests nro hutching
out by the million, but have not as
yet done much damage, ami flic farm
ers think Ihev will lly away before
they do".
Dallas had her Mania bins, not
when it ia usually held, hut you see
ours is a progressive city, anil she
don't let small matters trouble her.
If I possessed the poetical genius of a
1>.Vron, and the descriptive powers of
a Hume, 1 might do justice to ifo des
cription. It was a success, and Dal

day for it, and our spectacle people j
turned out on masse, and during tho |
day, and especially at night, tlions- i
anils crowded our principal thor
oughfares, all moved with tho same
desire to secure a good view of tho
coming pageant. Tho city presented
a beautiful spectacle, tlm immense
throngs surging through the streets
presented a living panarnma, made
brilliant by the myriads of lights
fn m every oencievable quarter. Ad
ded to this the decorations and illum
inations of houses all continue to give
Dallas a gala appearance indeed.
The carnival in the day was gotten up
by tho business men to advertise their

tho “rumor of war” has already cans
od nn appreciahlo advance in moat
and brondsttiffa, and a decline in on
greatfitnplo, cotton. UntWfally lafgt
shipments of provisions to tho vuri-
ouk European ports aro already re
ported, and must continue so long as |
tho war lasts. i
Tho foreign demand for cotton may
be greatly reduced, and its price full 1
below its present, low fir-urea.
In view of these facts, (ho farmers
of Georgia are urged to increase their j
areas in provision crops. It ia no! j
yet too lute to imireuMO tho area in j
corn, even if it has to lm done by ro-!
dining tho area in cotton. L -t. far !
liters plant enough corn to insure an j
ample supply for the ensuing year.
Let them plant crops f-• i* their hogs, i
and force them forward to secure jvm j
nearly as possible, i supply of lev j
con for homo consumption. Lot, them
plnnt liberally in German millet and
and field peas to supplement their
corn crop in feeding stock, in order
that more of their corn may ho mod
for bread.
If the war should ho averted-*-',
of which there is, at. present lilt in
probability—wo will havo lost noth
ing by tho above policy; if not, wc
will havo provided against the posi-1
bility of loss or suffering. In either j
cut, those who adopt tho above ad- i
vice will lmv«: nothing to regret, while *
those who do not may bo coiupollod j
to purchuso provisions at it i nously I
high prices, and pay for them with j
cotton ut prices even below tho cost
of production. .Respectfully,
