over faction of every shape and name ; when they
have succeeded in carrying out any important
principle, which is likely to give peace to the coun

Southern Commercial Convention.
Montgomkkv, Ala., May 10, 1858.
The Convention met to-day at 12 o’clock. Tlie
States represented held preliminary meetings, for
the purpose of organizing the general delegations.
The Convention was called to order by Win. L.
Yancey, in behalf and at the request of the Mayor
ot the city.in a very neat speech, bidding the dele
gates welcome as southern men, assembled on
southern soil, for the purpose of taking into consid
eration the welfare of the South.
Maj. Hubbard, of Ala., made a motion, in behalf
of the Alabama delegates, that Mr. Yancey com
tiuue to act as Chairman until the Convention is
perm meutly organized. J. Edmund- Burk was
appointed Secretary.
On motion, the States ware called, and the fol-
b.wing were found to be represented; Tennessee,
Virginia, South Carolina North Carolina, Alabama,
t ■ eg a, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Louisina and
D' l ware.
On motion of Mr. Hubbard, a committe of two
h ni each State was appointed to report a list of
cificcis lbr the perman* nt organization of the Con
vention. The following names were announced
by the several chairmen of the State delegaritms:
Virginia—James L. White, Charles Friend.
Mississippi—.Jas. B.McRea, Thomas. H. Dunn.
Alabama—T. B. Bethea, Percy. Walker.
South Carolina—A. P. Calhoun, L. W. Spratt.
Florida—Maj. John Beard. William II. Chase.
Georgia—Maj. J. H. Steele, O. A. Lochrane.
Louisiana—Col. M. White, Gen G-W. Mundy.
North Carolina—J. H. Liusay, (the only dele-
gat riii attendance.) -
Tennessee—J. W. Bridges. R. F. James.
The committee retired, and pending their de-
■ > rations, the convention took a recess of thirty
: unites.
l iie committee, through their Chairman, Mr. W.
H. Chase, made tho following report:
For President—A. P. Calhoun of South Carolina.
Vico Presidents—Mark A Cooper, of Georgia:
Geo. J* Elliot, of South Carolina; G. W. Semple,
of Virginia; J. H. Linsay, North Carolina; D.
<’ ampcll. of Tennessee; C. T. Pollard, of Alabama;
'TlmniasCoopwood, of Mississippi, Maunsel White,
ci Louisiana: Paul McCormick, of Florida.
Chiet Secretary—P. I). Page, Alabama.
Assistant Secretaries—L*. II. Kirkwood, of Soutli

1 indel, of Mississippi; .John L. Moses, of Tennes
see: Robert Jones, of Virginia; Tims. O’Hance, of
Alabama; G. W. Mundy, of Louisiana; S. B. Todd,
of Florida.
The following gentlemen were appoinled to
conduct the President elect to his seat, Messrs.
Jackson, Colquitt, and Pryor. The President, on
t king his scat made a very appropriate speech.
A motion was made that a committee of three
from each State represented be appointed, having
have ever given him credit for, but stronger than
Southern men themselves. Who then bought
the South 7 For if, as you say, “tlie South has
be r-n sold,” some one must havo bought her, and we
see no one that would be inlerested in the pur
chase, unless the Recorder can prove that the
South bought herself. As the admission of Kan
sas was a Southern measure, the Recorder to es
tablish the charge that by the passage of the Kan-
! sas bill “the South lias been sold,” must prove
that the South has sold and bought herself. Ev
ery candid man will see that the charge is not
only false, but is absurd and ridiculous from be
ginning to end. But this is not the only blunder
which our innoe-nt and unsuspecting neighbor of
the Recorder has been led into in this Kansas busi
ness, by taking the assertions of others for facts
He says the Kansas bill as it passed was a com
plete surrender to Douglas & Co., “but Douglas
teas unwilling to sell his principles Jor such a bribe,
and toted against the bill.' 1 Now if tho Kansas
bill as it passed, was a complete surrender to Doug
las A: Co. bow would Douglas have been sell
ing bis principles if be had voted for the bill-, can
yon tell us that neighbor 7 But the worst blunder I
which our neighbor lias fallen into by following j
others, is yet to cqine, and surely his worst enemy
could not wish him to commit a greater. He
says the Kansas hill as it passed is a bribe to the
purple of Kansas, because it proposes, as usual, to
give them tor educational and other public purpo
ses about three million acres of land. The bill as
it first came to Congress contained a schedule giv
ing to the people of Kansas about 22 millions ot
acres, and our neighbor thinks that Congress in
tended to bribe them by reducing this down from
twenty-two million acres to three million. Oh! oh!!
Opposition to the Knu>a* Mill.
Tlie various and contradictory positions which
a portion of the opposition party at the South have
at different times taken in regaid to the Kansas j
question, is both amusing aud interesting. Read the ;
columns of their newspapers in Georgia for the last j
two or three years, and we shall see that on that
single question they have blown hot and cold, and
from every point of the compass. When it was
necessary to bolster up Mr. Fillmore’s political
fortunes, the repeal of the Missouri restriction
was a monstrous evil, and Kansas was a great
humbug. They were disgusted with the Demo
crats for making a fuss about Kansas, until they
found out that some of them were dissatisfied with j
R. J. Walker, and then these same men who a few |
weeks before had pronounced Kansas a humbug, |
became the champions of Kansas; they insisted j
that the Democrats should quarrel with the Presi-|
dent, and disband the party if Walker was not im
mediately punished. What had Walker done?

such opposite positions within two or three years
The conductors of their newspapers appear to
have lost confidence in themselves, if_thoy ever
had any. and are now anxious to form now parties.
This will not help them unless they adopt new
principles. Their conduct on the Kansas ques
tion from first to last, has been directed by but
one motive; that was to divide and distract the
Democracy. So long as there was the least pros-
pectof disorganizing tho Democratic party with
Kansas, they did not want that question settled;
and tnis accounts for their groaning and v com
plaining over the bill that has just passed.

Vi»i* is .Bssl|smcr]’.—Joltings by (he Wsy,
With a pleasant party of five or six. we left
home for a visit to Montgomery. Ala., ahont a week
ago. From Macon to Columbus we had a dusty,
dull ride. Tlie country between these cities is
most of the way, the poorest of the poor pine land,
and the crops look unpromising. Columbus is im
proving gradually, but the main business street of
the city, is defaced by antiquated wooden build
ings ; and until a fire shall destroy them, there is
little hope for improvement in that part of the city.
There are many handsome private residences in
the city; and in Wynnton, near the city, the eye
never gets tired of looking at the residences and
the tastefully improved grounds. There is not,
perhaps, a more desirable place of residence in
Georgia, than Wynnton. It is high, and tho at
mosphare dry—and free from musquitoes, those
winged tormentors of all who have the misfor
tune to seek rest in the city of Columbus. We
found a most interesting stats of religions feeling
pervading all classos of the people of Columbus.
The young men s eWming l’rayer meetings con
tinue to attract large crowds ; aud the harvest of
rescued souls, promises to be abundant.
After a long, monotonous and slow ride, we
reached Montgomery about day light, the capital
of our fair sister on the left.
Tbc (fommercial Convention.
The remarks following, from the Montgomery
Ala.. Confederation, so aptly express what we
would say, that we copy, and endorse them
throughout.
The issues b fore the Convention.—The proceed
ings of the Convention take up such a large share
of our space that we have no room for an expres
sion of onr own views upon the important ques
tions now being discussed before it. Directly and
indirectly, two very prominent issues have been
made: the opening of the African slave trade, and
the condemnation of the Conferrence bill recently
passed by Congress, and a consequent censure
and denunciation of our eutire delegation in Con
gress, who voted for it, in company with the unan
imous South.
We only design here to say that, as to the first
we think it impracticable and inexpedient at this
time, and that as it will prove an element of seri-
rious division among us. when we ougkt to be
| united, weexceedingly regret its introduction in
j the Convention.
As to the other, as we’ve before said, although
not cordially accepted by ns as a settlement still
we shall take it as it is. and stand by our delega
tion in Congress, who voted for it; for we have un
limited confidence in their honesty, patriotism,
and fidelity to the South. In this we have every
confidence that the democracy, and all sober, sen
sible, reflecting men in Alabama, will he with us,

discredit to any country Court House. The build
ing seems to have gone to seed—is top h.'avy. aud
the best tiling that could happen would be to have
it upset by the wind, so that the State might be
compelled to erect a nerv one. The private resi
dences, many of them, are very handsome, and
the city generally betokens great wealth in or
near it.
We found quite a number of visitors in Mont
gomery, delegates to the Convention,among whom
were several men of distinction. Very few emi
nent men attended the Convention. Of this body
we speak in another place.
It was oar pleasure to make the acquaintance of
the entire Editorial corps of I lie city; to whose
kindness and attention we are indebted for most
of the pleasure of our visit. Our friends of the Mail
especially, will accept our ackuowledgemeuts for
their courtesy and attention. In her Press,Montgom
ery is not behind her sister cities at the South.
Indeed, she is rather in advance of them. Colum
bus has but one daily paper—Macon a larger city
than Montgomery has no daily paper, while the
latter place has three. A pretty sure index of the
prosperity and energy of its business population.
W e would not say one word in disparagement of
the city, but truth and mandor compel us to say,
that it costs a man more for “fare and fun” in
Montgomery, than in any place we ever saw or
ever heard of. If the idea of having the Con
vention, was to bleed the public, it was success
ful. Think of three dollars a day for hoard, and
ten in a room 1 Comfortable very, eh! Think of
having to pay omnibus fare to and from the
Convention, or take the dust and the sun going
and coining from the sittings of a body, near a
mile from tho Hotels! Think of these things, aud
bleed from the bottom of your pocket!
Two days iu Montgomery satisfied us, and we
left for Tuskegee, with the following impression
indellibly stamped oil our memory—Montgomery
is a handsome place—admirably located for busi.
ness—has a clever corps of Editors—many band-
some ladies—the finest equipages, and the most
unmerciful hotel charges this side of Sau Fran-
the absence of any likelihood of heading a Na
tional confederacy, was there. Khett was there:
and John A. Jones was there: and tlieso men
were the h-nders. Wo saw no good likely to arise
from the deliberations of such a body, and left. It
is, we hope, the last of them. The gas generated
by them, has the lantern’s brightness, and smells
of brimstone. We are done with them.
■■■ Q gTli
This is the term the Daily Sun applies to the
Federal Union and such other presses as approve
the late action of Congress on tiie Kansas ques
tion. It is a matter of indifference tons what the
Sun may think of this matter, or of our defence of
the South rn and Northern Democrats who voted
for it. We prefer the company ot the great body
of the Democracy to that of a little squad, who
assume to dictate, without even having the bold
ness to hoist their colors. When the Democracy
of Georgia get tired of following their prese nt lead
ers, we suppose they will fly to the Sun fora gen
eral. May be so.
Tlie opposition papers groan like a man with
the cholic about the passage of the Kansas bill.—
Poor fellows! Their occupation is gone, to be sure
but they need not twist the conduits of their

fed well, and nearly ripe enough for cutting. At
Cheliaw we took the omnibus for Tuskegee—the
most beautiful and growing town in East Ala
bama. It is beautifully situated—very high,
sandy soil, but not blessed in its water—that was
decidedly had. Tuskegee has two large Female
Colleges—one under the control of the Baptist,
the other of the Methodist denomination. Both
are handsome buildings. These institutions have
both able faculties, and a large number of pupils.
There is also a fine male school here—and the
prospect for a Male College under the direction of
the Presbyterians, is said to he good. The houses
of worship are very inferior. Several papers are
printed iu the town, but we had no time to make
the acquaintance of their proprietors. At the
solicitation of friends and to satisfy us as to the
fury of the whirlwind storm which lately passed
over a part of Tuskegee, we rode out to the scene
of the disaster. We hope our readers will not
think us joking or exaggerating when we tell
them, that we saw an immense pine sill which
had been taken from a building that was demol
ished, and carried by the wind fully a hundred
yards and planted almost perpendicularly in the
earth, six or ten feet! Large oatis were torn in
half, and separated fifty or sixty feet! Such des
truction as followed in the path of the storm-fiend
never before paled the faces or awed the hearts
of the good people of Tuskegee. May they never
see the like again. But we must bring these hasti
ly thrown together remarks to a close, by grate,
fully thanking the many friends who tendered us
their hospitality during our brief stay in Mont
gomery and Tuskegee: and particularly do we
thank our friend S. II r in the name and be
half of the Milledgeville delegation, for his many
acts of generous hospitality.

Grubb was armed also, in expectation of the at
tack, but was not in the act of drawing his weap
on. The trial was ended last Thursday, and the
verdict of the jury was not guilty. The following
is the substance of the judgment pronounced by
Judge Nutall upon the verdict of not guilty by
the jury in behalf of Hardesty:
“Sir:—You have been indicted by a grand jury
of your country upon a most lienious charge. You
have put yourself upon your country and yonr
God for deliverance. You have had a fair and im
partial trial before them, and they have both pro
nounced you not guilty, and so say 1. It may not
be proper for me to express my sentiments, yet,
nevertheless, I will doit. Young man! had I been

Terrible Murder by Yegroes.

May 5th, 1858. (
A dreadful murder has just taken plane here
The victim was Mr. Henry II. Jones who has just
been murdered in a frightful manner by the ne
groes of Dr. Ballard of this place.
As soon as Join s was found missing, suspicion
arose, and one of the negroes named Peter, con
fessed to the murder. He owned to liis having
struck Mr. Jones the first blow, but says that oth
ers besides him were equally concerned. Three

the body down to the hay, where they dug a hole
and buried the body.
The three negroes accompanied Mr. Davis and
others to the spot where the body was disinterred,
identified and an inquest was held thereon, after
whieh.it was burl'd properly yesterday.
Dr. Ballard gave bonds in the sum of $3,000 for
the appearance of three of liis negroes to answer
the charge. One has been sent to Waresboro’

Loss nf American ship at Sea..—Nf.\V York,

that the ship Oswalde (Ostervade, we presume is
meant) from New Orleans for Liverpool, was burnt

[The American ship Ostervald, Capt. Jarvis,
was cleared at New Orleans for Liverpool on the

ll’heat and Oat Crops.--So far as our observation
extended in Lowndes, and so far as we have seen

the Public—As there are many Gift
Book stores advertised throughout the country, Mr.
EVANS deems it just to himself and liis duty to the
public—inasmuch as he originated the Gift-book busi
ness—to state as evidence of the instability of many of
such concerns, that they conceal their real names from
the public and are advertising their business, under
assumed ones. Mr. E.. is a ware that these various con
cerns published as Gift-Book stores, are calculated to
bring the business established by himself into disrepute.
He asks of the public a correct judgement in regard to
his Gilt Book enterprise; for the honor, integrity, and
success, of which lie refers to all the prominent pub
lishers in the United States. Read liis cstalogne.
