From the Telegraph of Tuesday.
ioiuiurrctai ami Financial Convention.
Some four hundred delegates being present, and
the hour of 12 ii. having anived, the Convention
was teiufjor.irily organized by calling Hon. David
Hubbwd of Alabama lo the chair, and appointing
11. L. Jeweu and J. A. Nisbet, Es>qT., of Macon,
Secietaries.
The Convention wa9 oftened by a fervent appeal
io lue Throne ol Grace by Rev. D. Wills, ol tills
city, the entire assembly rising to their leet.
Uu motion, the chairman ol each delegation was
icquested to furnish the Secretaries with a list ol
tneir delegates.
About lour hundred delegates registered their
names liom nine Slates.
On motion ol G. B. Latuar, Esq., of Savannah,
a committee ot one trom each State was appointed
io report permanent officers lor this Convention,
viz. li. B. Lamar, o: Ga., chairman ; W. M. Law

A comiuutee ol three was appointed to conduct

ti. *>. Lc i.-, ol A .; Jl. J. VV icks, ol i'enu.
Upon lahuig nis i , Air. Andrews addressed
uie Louveiiuou as lo .• :
O'entiemen oj the L'c- cute on :
Beiore 1 sa\ a #oi , let me congratulate you
upon that recognition ... .cn you have ju*t made
ot Almighty tiod loi . especial lavor which he
lias granted us of cu. , ng the lirst commercial
convention which has . .einOied under our new
polity, to meet, as we I eve it has, under his own
esjieeial protection, b. mg under this fair run
iignt, breaming tas *. liee, uiiirumineled air,
; ui.u where inv.oiate pc ‘.ssiyn is held of the blood
nought and ireasure-i ought soil, which your la
'he rs won, and which, it ne, and be, ty your own
hantls, will be again bought with your blood and
your uca?ure.
Jt would be as uncomely reference to the
proprieties One to such an occasion, as it would be
jin violence to my own feeling.', did i tail to convey
!to you tny profound impression of your distin
jguioulng kuidtic.-s. Nor is the honor you have
■June me in calling me to preside over your delib
eialiens the le-s touching and grateful, because 1
; regat u it a® iuducvd chit dy by a generous dispo
sition on your part to honor firstly that noble oid
! commonwealth, which with filial reverence it is
my highest pride to cud uiy mother.
Singled out by our common foe through long
years, as tne especial recipient of more than Phi
listine jeer and disdain, you bade her go lortta us
the common champion, and aided by your coun
tenance ana Hie God who judgelh iighteously,
[hough small iu stature, she took the smooth sione
ot secession lroiu tlie wallet of State sovereignty
and hurled the Goliath of a fast consolidating des
potism, gasping and bleeding to the dust.
Henceforth and forever, tve have neither part
nor lot with the Philistines. Our political sever
ance is by the fiat of Heaven. It is wide as hu
man alienation can make it, and lasting as time.
But the achievement ol our political independence,
will be, by no means, all our work. YVe must un
coil that tissue ol more delicate, but insidious and
me destroying withes which have bound (he very
organism of our commercial lile, in humiliating
vassalage to the enemies of our peace. We must
institute new relations, end see (hat they are so
lou.ided as to secure to that organization a health
lui and gcuc-rous development.
Biest by Heaven with as goodly a heritage as
the sun ever shone upon ; entrusted bv an all-wise
Piowdehce, with the guardianship ol'a race of his
ere .lures, whose highest knowledge of his favor,
lias been your patriarchal care, and fry whom God
has made us tlie ainiouers of his bounty in cloth
ing the world; now that we are driving off tlie
Spoueis ot our lietitage who vexed our land while
they sucked its iatucss; now that we are about,
tudly to entei Upon the Uhtrammeled possession
ol our estate, v,c must arouse to ihe fulness of
our responsibili ies, the fulness of our privileges,
and ue luluess ot tiie just expectations from u*.
\Y mi our gallant armies aie rolling back the pro
mi-, u i-uojugaiors of our domain, we must disen
thrall om s.; ves from that depies.-ing ifommercial
dependency, in which we have so long meekly ac
quits ed. The heioic sons of this bouthern soil,
are striking down the inlernieddlers with our God
recognized and God assigned system of labor ; let
us .-trike off’ itie busiue.-s of intermeddiers, who
have appropriated to themselves so large a portion
of the rewards ol our labor.
YVe have dissolved a co-partnership in which
those who luini'h by la the largest part of the
capital ami resources, have had doled out to them
but a meagre share oi the fruits ol their contribu
tions, and we have been driven lo dissolve it wiih
our own uusty swoids, v the destructive aggres
sions ot those wlrose lean and hungry bodies nave
waxed fat and insolent u ion the nutriment which
we supplied—co partne i among the most intoler
able of whom are thus, v ho, in exchange tor our
cotton, rice, sugar, c rn, wi.eat and tobacco, have
contributed to tlie conn ion stock two crops—a
crop of locks iu tin sui uier and one of frozen
water in the winter.
Hereafter, we take r capital and resources,
under our own manage nt, and we come togeth
er at this time to n.--i.- ion other with our coun
sels in so airanging n; practical machine.iv of
our new business rail.ions, as to ensure its suc
ccssful and harmonious operation.
i am sure i need not invoke tor your delibcra-|
lions, a spirit of mutual tolcr.okimi aud conciliation, i
ihe hety pathway through whim we are treading,
the sublime ends at whicH we are aiming, the tuil
still sodden with ttie mingled life-currents of our;
noble band of martyrs, ** bone of our bone, and,
tictm of our Heed,'’ ait forbid tlie thought that we
sliali bt other than ol one mind and one heart.
Gen. Dutt Green moved that ttie Secretary read j
the call tor the Convention. The Secretary then ;
rtad the call issued by the Macon Chamber of:
Cointueice.
4Jen. Duff Green moved that a financial commit- 1
tee be appointed by the chair.
Mr. G. A. Trcnholm, of Charleston, offered as
an amendment that the chair, during the recess!
tor dinner appoint, two committees, one on finance’
and one on commerce, to he composed ot two,
from each ftiat. represented, to whom all resolu-j
lions and communications will he referred without
dt hate. Gained.
On motion oi Mr. Hubbard, cf Ala.,
Jtesolved, That a committee be appointed to in

SECOND DAY.
Macon, October 15, 18G1.
The meeting was opened with prayer by
the Rev. J. E Evans.
The minutes of the afternoon session of
the day previous were read and confirmed.
A number of delegates having arrived the
night previous, came forward and enrolled
their names at the Secretary's desk.
li. 8. liibb and J. McXabb, ot Alabama ;
li. H. D. Sorrell,of Texas, and 8. D. Heard,
of Georgia, were added to the Committee on
Finance and Commerce.
The Convention then listened with mark
ed attention and interest to a recapitulation
of some of the manufacturing enterprise* and
mineral resources of that good old State,
Xorth Carolina, by VV. McL. McKay Esq.
The speaker was gieeted with storms of ap
plause during its delivery. Ho exhibited
specimens of woolen socks manufactured for
Itbc army at 51.75 per doaep, a very servi
ceable article indeed, specimens of doth fur
ladies’ dresses, homespuns, and some spool
cotton, 000 yards to the spool, at 81 cent
per dozen. He stated that the South need
uo longer rely upon the Clark’s, Coats, Wil
son, Seward k Cos. for their sewing thread,
marked 200 yards when it only ran about
75 yards, not half so far as a Yankee could
when a Southerner was after him. We hope
Mr. McKay will write out his speech for pub
lication, although being an impromptu affair,
it may be rather difficult for him to do so.
Several resolutions and memorials upon
Cotton Exports, the Sequestration Act, and
other subjects were then presented and ref
ered to the Standing Committee.
The Standing Committee submitted the
following report upon the subject of the Se
questration Act:
Whereas, by the law of nations debts due
to alien enemies are suspended, and bear no
interest during the continuance of war.
Rrzolee,! there fore, That in the opinion of
this Convention, the Sequestration Act ad
opted by the Confederate Congress at its re
cent session, should not require the payment
of debts due by our citizents to alien ene
mies during tlie existence of the war; but
that it should require only the evidence of
that indebtedness to be returned aud placed
upon record by the Receiver.
That in cases wherein the debtoi to an al
ien enemy is also a claimant of indemnity
for damage sustained by the act or acts of
the Government of the United States, or of
the people thereof, the balance (when against
the citizens of the Confederate States) should
alone be the arnouut demanded.
That the Sequestration Act should take
effect at and from the date of its passage,
aud not from the 21st M u .w pi \
That the Gowruuient >f D (’ id \ .
Stat< s having ■ c of tl
creditor of the Confederate debtor, si:
stand on the same footiug with at o'.!. ;
creditors.
That Committee also reported the f< ” -
ing resolutions fur the acrou of the Coin >•
tion :
Xcsolrc'l, That the Insurance Companies
throughout the Confederacy be respectfully
recommended to insure the cotton stored by
the p’anterg in the towns of the interior, or
on their plantations, to the extent of three
fourths of the market value of tlie day.
The above resolution was passed.
Resolved., That in the opinion of this Con
vention, the proposed issue of Treasury
notes to be made by the Government, and
the is ue of Bunk notes iu the ordinary
course of trade, and under the resolution of
the Bauks to make advances to the planters,
who shall subscribe a portion of their crops
iu aid of the Government, will togetner fur
nish an adequate currency for the country,
and will obviate the necessity for any inter
vention of the Government.
On motion it was order* and that the report
of the Committee on Sequestration Act be
printed, and that its consideration be jiost
poned and set down for ten o’clock to morrow
morning.
The following Resolution of Mr. Tren
holm, of Charleston was then read :
Resulted, That the Convention recommend
to the Legislatures of the several States of
tlie Confederacy so to modify the usury laws
as to give greater freedom in the use *>f cap
ital, and they would suggest as a suitable
means of promoting this end as discounting
of commercial notes and drafts at not more
than eight months date, be legalised as such
rate of interest us may be agreed upon be
tween the parties to the negotiation ; lPro
vide and, that, the banks being public institutions,
with privileges granted to them, ought to be
restrained by law to the legal rate of interest
in the States respectively.
On motion to adopt said resolution, a spir
ted debate arose, which was participated in
by Messrs. Tate, Trenliolm, Lamar, Green,
Hubbard, Lee and others.
Fending the discussion, a motion was made
to strike out the proviso annexed to the res
olution.
The resolution was, on motion, indefinitely
postponed.
On motion, a committee was appointed to
co-operate with a committee appointed by
the Planters’ Convention to arrange the
terms of amalgamating the two Conventions,
who retired, and after a brief absence returned
and reported that the committee of the Plan
ters’ Convention had agreed tucombin. with
them, retaining their own Gf'cors, am .
previous action of this C m . . ntiou, snSo
to recon.-i I-.•ration il so desired. The n ;.v.
was adopted, and the Ihosiucui of the i
tors’ Convention, James M. CnamLer
pcared aud took his scat on f l>t platform ’
Fresident Audvews, aud the Plantei- (•'■•
ventien took appropriate seat ;.
Mr. 3Jibb, of Alabama, offered the foilov
ing :
Resol red, That this Convention recom
mend to the Legislatures of the several States
to legalize the suspension of specie payments
by the Banks, do ing the existence < the
war, and for twelve months thereafter, con
ditioned nevertheless that the said Bums
shall advance at too rate of five cents per
pound ou middling Cotton, to the holders of
the same, aud the sums so advauced shall not
be collectible exet pt at the discretion cf the
; debtors, until the blockade of the ports shall
be removed, and trade in the article oi Cot
ton resume its usual course.
Mr. Palmer, of South Carolina, offered
the following ;
Resulted, That it is the opiuion of this
Convention that the Confederate Govern
ment should advance to the subscribers of j
the Produce Loan three-fourths of tlie aver ;
ago value or price for the last three years, of
the produce s<> subscribed, payable iu Con
federate bonds bearing 8 per cent, interest.
Mr. Fowke, of Tennessee, offered the fol
lowing :
Resolved, That this Convention, taking
into consideration the absolute necessities of
a large portion of our planters, do most
earnestly recommend Congress to make an
advance in Treasury notes to those planters
who have subscribed to the Government Loan,
say of oue-fourth or one-half of the amount
so subscribed, fixing the price of the Cottou
at a low rate.
‘The three last resolutions were offered as
a substitute for the second resolution report
ed by the C nmnittee on Commerce and Fi
nance. A lengthy discussion was elicited,
iu which Messrs. Palmer, Treuholtu, Lauiar,
Lee, Green, Professor Deßow, and others,
participated.

The Convention was opened with prayer
by llcv. E W. Warren.
W. T. Woods, of Fla., was added to the
committee on commerce and finance,
i The winutea of session re
VOLUME XXXIX—NO 31.
read am 1 confirmed.
Mr. Hass moved to reconsider so much of
the minutes as relates to the adoption of the
following resolution :
hcsohrrj. That, in the opinion of this
Contention, the proposed issue of Treasury
notes to bo made by the Government, and
the issue of bank notes in the ordinary
course of trade and under the resolution if
The banks to make advances to planters, who
shall subscribe a portion of their crops hi
aid ol the Government,.will together furnish
an adequate currency for the country, and
will obviate the necessity for any interven
tion of the Government, and this Conven
tion hereby call upon the banks nl the Con
federate States to come forward and advance
within the limits of prudence to all our citi
zens aud ou ail descriptions of produce.
. Judge A. Jv Cochran supported the mo
tion to reconsider in an able and forcible
speech.
A running do bate ensued, in whuli
Messrs. Hast?, Cochran,Treuholiu, Harm uy.
Hammond, Hubbard andOthers participate*l.
Ihe motion to reconsider did not prevail.
Mr. Iren holm, by consent of the CouVtm
tion, asked leave to append the following
provise to his original resolution and make
a part thereof, which was granted :
i rovmrd, That it is not intended in any
manner to interfere with the condition* up> i?
which the cotton loan has been or mav 1
made to the Government, according io* !i
provisions of an act of the Congress <?
Confederate Slat s authorizing sue! 1

r. Lamar offered a reskduv;

to the standing committee n huiir c
Mr. Hass offered tfie foll-nviug lvs.dutu
Jit#ilve,f, That the export duty imperil
on cotton by the Congress of the l’ ms, Je.r-
States being an exclusive tax upon fhb
■cotton planters and partial in its character,
wa> an error on the part oi the Government,
and ‘he object for which said tax was im
posed could have been much better and mure
impartially accomplished by a direct tax for
this special purpose.
ky permission of the Convention, Mr.
Chambers, of Ala., submitted the following
resolution :
Resolv'd, That in the opinion of the C h
voution it is unwise policy f. r the planters
to sell their cotton at less than 8 cents per
pound for middling upland'-, and it is n
- that the banks do make an ad
vance to the planters of : cents per pound,
on conditions that will secure the cotton to
enable the planters to hold it, rather than to
force them to sell it below the named figure.
The resolution was passed.
Jhe Convention then proceeded to take
up the order of the day and consider the res
olution reported yesterday by the business
committee upon the subject of the modifica
tion of the sequestration act.
I pon this subject the ('(invention was
addressed at length by Messrs. Trenholm,
Nisbet and others.
Ihe following gentleman wore added to
the committee on Mr. Lamar’s resolution,
from the delegates of the Cotton Planters’
Convention: Messrs. Lawton, Ward, Wal
ker, Hubbard, to which the President, Mr.
Ciiambers. by request, was added.
Pending tne discussion, Mr. Nisbet moved
to strike out the third clause of the ivs< lu
ti.m to wit: “that the sequestration act
should take effect at and from the date of its
passage, and not from the ill.-t of May, as
is now provided,” and the substitution of an
amendment.
ine Motion of Mr. Mi-bet to p*iike out
the t.lmd section of the report prevailed, and
the ameudineut therefor, proposed by him,
adopted.

of this Convention, the Sequent? a* h; ; ,
adopted by the Confederate Congress at bs
recent ses.-fion should not require the par
incut ot debts due by our citizens o alien
euoiuicß duriug the existence* of the war;
but that it should require onlv the evidence
of the indebted ness to be returned, and
placed upon ri*c< rd by the receiver, without
security demanded and taken for the ulti
mate payment of the same.
i hat n eases wherein the debtor to au
alien cueuiy is also a claimant of iudeuiuity
for damage sustained by the act or acts of
the government of the Cuited States, or of
the people thereof, the said claim shall bo
allowed as an offset, and the balance only
shall be the subject of payment.
That we respectfully recommend to the
Confederate Congress swell alterations in, or
additions to the Sequestration act as may be
necessary to authorize the Confederate Courts
to enquire into the bumt ji>/e of every trans
action of our own citizens between the 2 1st
day of May, 1861, and the date of the pass
age of that act, and to protect from tho
operations of the act those engaged in such
trail-actions, whose dealings with the enemy
were of manifest benefit to the people of the
Government of the Confederate States, or
free from taint of disloyalty.
That the Government ot the Confederate
States having assumed the place of the alien
creditor of the Confederate debtor, should
stand on the same footing with all other
creditors.
That this Convention further recommend
to the Coogre.-s of the Confederate States,
such modification of the Sequestration Act
as may be requisite to exempt from its oper
ation the property of persons resident in the
states with which we are at war, who are
laboring under the disabilities of coverture
or infancy,and consequently unable, though
desiring it, to change their domicil, anc! who
I arc not actually enemies to the South.
The following resolution
