/ SHALL WE VOTE ?
On thin subject the people arc vert much at
a hied to determine as to what course is most
advisable. The act of Congress under which
the appruaclWg election is ordered, was de
signed to-thwart the wishes of the voters. The
proviso contained in the third section of the
Supplemental Ileonstruction Bill, is so con
atructed, that only one fourth of the registered
voters may call the
rends as follows: * *>n> <
Section 3, That at said election, the regis
tered voters of each State shall vote for or
against a Convention to form a Constitution
therefor, under this act. Those voting m favor
of such a Convention shall have written or
printed on their ballots by which they vote for
delegates as aforesaid, the words “For a Con
vention.” Those voting against such Conven
tion shall have written or printed on such
ballots the words “Against a Convention.
Persons appointed to superintend said elestion
and to make return of votes given for and
sgainSt a Convention, and the commanding
General to whom the same shall have been
returned, shall ascertain and declare the total
vote in each State, for and against a Convention.
If a majority of the votes given on that ques
tion shall be for a Convention, then such Con
vention slmll be held, as hereinafter provided :
but if a majority of said votes shall be against
a Convention, then no such Convention sbull
be held under this act; provided that such
Convention shnlftiot be held unless a majority
of all such registered voters shall have voted
on the question of holding such a Convention.
In consideration of the hopelessness of de
footing the Convention by voting against it,
since the law counts cvevy vote cast on the
question in making up the one half of the reg
istered voters necessary to the holding of the
Convention, the most effectual way of opposing
It, will be to refrain from voting at all on that
question. At the some time, it will be practi
cable for any who wish to do so* to vote for
the men of their choice for the members of the
Convention, without endorsing on their tickets
•ither “Fur a Convention," or “Against ft
Convention.” Such a vote would be practi
cally against the bolding of a Convention, and
yot if it is held, would give the voter’s support
to the men of his choice.
Ccrtaiuly, the Convention, if held at all,
should be composed as far as possible of our
best and ablest men. The power which it wil 1
wield would be exceedingly dangerous in the
hands of ignorant and wicked men. The sub
mission of its work to the popular vote is by no
means a guarantee that they can do no mischief;
since in these days of rudical innovations there
is no assurance that the real voters of the
State will be allowed to vote on its adoption
or rejection.
Tlic Chronicle A Sentinel endorses the fol
lowing remarks of the Constitutionalist on this
subject.
From the adroitness and party jnggling
manifested by registration in this State, not
less than from the sweeping disfranchisements
ot Congress, ft is very generally conceded that
the friends of Convention out numlier their
opponents. It is idle, therefore, to vote against
a Convention with the hope of defeating it;
but, inasmuch as Congress lias ordained that,
without a majority of registered votes, the
Convention question becomes a dead one, it
would not l>o amiss for those who have hitherto
opposed the call to abstain from voting, with
•t lenst, the chance of helping by such vis
inertia: to cause the scheme to fail by default
of the necessary ballot.
This we hold to he the only method left; anil
is perhaps, the better alternative of washing
our bands of a dirty business. We will retire
from a contest where laurels are impossible
and leave the field to negroes and white moun
tebanks wbn may revel, for a time, in the tri
umph of villainy, but shall not revel forever,
unless the people of this country arc knaves
and imbeciles.
In reference to the policy of abstaining from
voting the Chronicle A Sentinel says:
•'This plan of abstaining from voting lias
jmt been tried in Alabama. It was not .stig
gested very generally in the State until within
a few days of the election. In many parts of
the State the Conservatives were not fully ad
vised as to the course which their friends
would pursue. The returns, however, so far
as received, show that if the Convention is not
defeated in that Siate, the majority for it will
be very small. Fiom partial returns of the
two first day? voting in fifteen counties which
we find in the Montgomery Advertiser, it ap
pears that hut 35,528 votes were cast where
there had been 61,400 registered. We are
quite confident that tire Convention can be
defeated in this State if the Conservatives will
abstain from voting on the question. Many
thou«and of the registered voters will not vote,
and it to these be added the Conservative
►trength \vc have strong grounds for the hope
that the iniquities of the Sherman bill cannot
be saddled upon us.”
liuild Factories.
The communication of “J E. W., which
we copy from tho Chronicle if Sentinel, is on a
subject of vital importance to all who desire to
see the South regain its rightful position and
influence. The agricultural resources of our
•ectiort. which rendered it unnecessary to econ
omic and avail ourselves of our natural ad
vantages for manufacturing, have been so ma
terially crippled by the events of the last few
years that it becomes necessary now to give
some attention to other resources. The im
mense water power afforded by our rivers has
hitherto been almost ontirely unimproved.—
This should not have been so even in prosper
ous times: at such a time as the present it is
almost criminal to allow it.
The natural advantages at Steadman, only
require the attention invited by this writer
from capitalists to develope a very remunera
tive busines, and build a thriving city. an
our people longer afford to overlook' so impor
tant a source of wealth ? Let this and similar
enterprise** be fostered for the development of
the inexaustible resources of this favored sec
tion, and instead of Bending all the proceeds
of our staple production to enrich a foreign peo
ple, the wealth can be retained in our midst
and applied to tire adornment of our own sec
tion. Let this matter be well considered by
cur capitalists and enterprising men, and the
irdependunce we could not achieve on the l>al
tle field will be established by {.eaceful means.

The Improvement of Impoverished Soils.
The present condition of the greater portion
of arable lands is becoming a matter of some
interest to the thinking and reflective husband
man, and should become the common interest
of the population en masse. The tilling of the
soil is regarded by some who take a narrow and
limited view of it, as a low calling, which pub
lic opinion seems to accede to without the why
or wherefore. Yet there is not a remunerative
profession known to man that is not dependent
upon the prnductiTe interest of hi* country. —
Without subsistence from the hnnds of the
producer, the entire train of industrial pursuits
would be a total fuilure. lienee the necessity
of increasing the productiveness of the soil in
stead of making it poorer, year after year, It
is no difficult matter to ascout the impov
erished condition of the soils Vow in cultivation,
which in thoir original primitive condition were
of average fertility, and gave paying returns Pi
*the efforts of the husbandman, which were used
in’a prodigal manner without ever returning
any portion of his crop to the soil, for repro
duction, except a scant quantity of seed ; and
all that could' be raised each year was carried
off the soil, and none returned, in some instan
ces for a period of fifty year*, in which time the
best tillable land will become poor and unfit for
cultivation, the yield being too small to be re
munerative. Great cities are now, and ever
have been, the devastators of earth. There has
been enough of the elements of bread and meat,
wool, and cotton, drawn from the surface of the
earth and carried to London and buried in the
ground, or washed into the 1 hames, to feed and
clothe the human family a hundred years, un
der a judicious system of economy. W ith so
long a drain, and such a great spectre of nov
erty, it would seem an insurmountable task to
restore the soil to its original productiveness,
with the seemingly few available means at band.
Yet the task will not be so difficult when once
rightly commenced, ns it seemingly presents
itself to be. The first step toward* the work
is to properly considertho available means, and
the surrounding natural advantages that can be
used.
It is a certain atiom that no tangible and
visible existing tiling in nature, con be de
stroyed. It may be lemoved by certain ngents
from a given place, and its parts separated—as
by fire we remove the wood of the forest —
and separate its component parts; yet every
element of its structure still exists, and is
available to the use of plants in forming a
new structure. So with the animal as the
vegetable kingdom. Although one weave his
spell, or play his part upon the «tago of action
—a vital life cease—the elements of their
structure are still in nature for tbo production
of now life. Even the elements of the blood
that coursed the veins of Napoleon, are pulsa
ting in animation to-day. Ihe system of Na
ture is too correct to wasto away. This being
the case, we have only to aid Nature in restor
ing our own devastation of the soil. Nature
neither plows nor hoos, yet she makes good
crops; nnd bv a continuous return of foliage,
culms, and fibers, to which it is grown, the
soil is mulched, and upon the decay of annual
deposits, is enriched and made loamy and allu
vial. The barest and most galldeu spots of
the country being abandoned by the husband
man for teu or twenty years, will become cov
ered with vegetation, and from the annual re
turns to earth of foliage, wooded fiber, Ac.,
will form a surface mould that will pay again
to oultivate. So it is an illustrated fact that
the want is vegetable matter upon the soil to
keep it from leaching away by rains, and to
catch tho gasses that float over its surfaco and
produce sufficient fiber for decomposition to
strengthen a successive growth ; after which,
naturally and properly managed, it will annu
ally improve. Any soil may he exhausted by
the absenee of vegetation. If twenty-five loads
of well rotted stable manure should be put up
on an acre of land, and that aoro be kept
plowed and hoed, and not a sprig of vegetation
to grow upon it in twenty five years, there
would not be an atom of the manure on the
acre of land, at tho close of that period.—
Humboldt, after a life of travel and close ob
servation, was of opinion that if all the vegeta
tion was stripped from the face of the earth
that every running stream would go dry ; nnd
if that should he so, the world would become
a Sahara, nnd all animate nature would cease
to exist.
A knowledge of the most useful farm imple
ments, machines, fertilizers, Ac., can be bad
through publications upon this subject; and
by giving views in farmers’ associations, or
from actual experiments, as there is a great
variety of soils.
Locality and Temperature. A good acre
of arable land in Middle Georgia is worth as
much for husbandry ns in any spot that it can <
be placed upon the globe. The seusens being
long enough to make two crops a year—having
as much pure air and sunshine for the ripeniog
of cereals, as any known part of the world.
There are probably few who have thonglit of
the benefits of pure sunshine. It gives to veg
etation the green tinges, and to the flower its
hue, Without it no cereal would come to
maturity, nnd till animate nature would cease
to exist. A Correspondent.
The New York correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury, writing of the situation and pros
pect of that state, says: The first is good, and
the second steadily improving. General Apathy
has possession of the Radical camp, and the
leaders have scarcely a hop# of getting him out.
They have managed, though, by adjourning the
constitutional convention, to keep negro suffrage
out of the struggle, and, by backing down on
the liquor question, they have saved, perhaps,
a few thousand German votes. But tho reac
tionary feeling in the rural districts is increas
ing, and the sensible nnd candid men of the
party confess that the State is almost certain
to go against them in November. Th* Democ
racy, on the other hand, never exhibited more
energy and confidence than they do to-day.—
There is only one danger in their wav and that
is that the State convention, which meets on the
3d inst., may put some dead issues in the plat
form. If the convention will let tbe past alone,
and bring out candidates and a platform adapt
ed to the times, the Democracy will sweep the
State like a hurricane.
Thiai. or Mr. Davis.— The Washington cor
respondent of the Charleston Mercury says;
As the day for the trial of Mr. Davis draws
nigh, the usual amount of speculation is afloat
concerning that event. Radical newspaper
correspondents are endeavoring to create the
impression that the President is moving in the
matter, and seeking to have the trial postponed.
He could not do this, even were he so disposed.
He has no power or authority in the premises,
as the case rests wholly with the Judicial De
partment of the government and not with the
Executive. Without making any prediction*
in regard to the matter, I will simply state that
the general opinion here is that Mr. Davis will
not be tried at all.

The Herald's Washington dispatch
says, on the subject of the amnesty, the
Cabinet is said to be a unit. In the
cussion of the amnesty proclamation the
Cabinet agreed that its legal effect would
be to relieve excluded whites from disas
bility as to the exercise of the right of
suffrage.
Impeachment.
Senator Howard, of Michigan, has writen a
«iettcr, to appear ia the Chronicle, arguing that
there is no more ground for the objection that
Senators who have expressed an opinion on
impeachment shall not sit on the trial, than
there is ground for rejecting a juror in a mur
der case because he lias expressed an opinion
on the abstract question of murder.
Musical Accent.
At a trial in the Court of King’s Bench be
tween certain publishing Tweedledums and
Tweediedces, as to an alleged piracy of an ar
rangement of ‘The Old English Gentleman,'
T. Cooke was subpoenaed ns a witness. On
cross examination by Sir James Scarlett, that
learned counsel rather flippantly said: ‘Now
sir you say the two melodies are the same, but
different, what do you mean, sir?’ Tom
promptly answered: ‘I said that the notes in
tho two copies were alike, but with a different
accent.’ Sir James: What is a musical ac
cent?’ Cooke: ‘My terms are a guinea a les
son sir.’ (A loud laugh.)—Sir James (rather
ruffled:) ‘Don’t mind your terms here. I ask
yon what is a musical accent?’ Can you see
it?’ Cooke:‘No.’—Sir James ; ‘Can you feel
it?' Cooke: ‘A musician can.’ (Great laugh
ter.) —Sir James (very angrily,) ‘Now, pray,
sir, don’t beat about the bush; but tell his
lordship and the jury, who are supposed to
know nothing about it, the meaning of what
you call accent?’ Cooke: “Accent in music
is a stress laid on any particular note—as you
would lay a stress on any given word, for the
purpose of being better understood. If I were
to say you are an ass, it rests on an; but were
I to say you are an nss, it rests on you, Sir
Jams*.’ Reiterated shouts of laughter by
the court, in which the bench joined, followed
Xliis repartee. Silence being obtained, Den
man, the judge with much seeming gravity,
accosted the chopfallen counsel: ‘Are you sat
isfied, Sir James ?’ Sir James, deep red as he
naturally was, had become Scarlett in more
than name, and, in a great huff, said; ‘The
witness may go down.’

When the celebrated Patrick Henry: of Vir
ginia, was near the close of his life, and in
feeble health, he laid his band on the Bible, and
addressed a friend who was with him : “Here
is a book worth more than all others printed ;
yet it is my misfortune never to have read it
with proper attention until lately.” About
the same time he wrote to his daughter: “I
have heard it said that Deists have claimed me.
The thought pained me more than the appel
lation of Tory ; for I consider religion of in
finitely higher importance than politics, and I
find much cause to reproach myself that I have
lived so long and given no decided public proof
of my being a Christian.”
