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.

About lour hundred delegates registered their names liom nine Slates. On motion ol G. B.

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.

Convention then took a recess until 4 o'clock iu the afternoon. AFTERNOON .SESSION. On re assembling of the Convention, at 4 o’clock, P. il., the President announced the following com mittee on Comrneice and Finance : Messrs. Green, Lamar, Johnston, Batter-by, Cohen, and Baylor, ot Ga.; Maury, Davenport, and Bioodgood, of Y’a.; McKay, YViliiains and Worth, ot X. C.; Tienhelm, Gourdin and Williams, of S.

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. THIRD DAY. 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 <?

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.
