“We see almost every day some silly para

about erecting a magnificent building in
Savannah, for the purpose of opening
wholesale dry goods store there. Wc are

there is not one word of truth in the state

army correspondent of the Charleston Courier
throughout the war, over the sobriquet of
“Perwmnc.” His personal experience with
tbe Confederate army, having been present
in nearly all its great marches and battles, es
pecially i« Virginia and the West, when done
up in his eloquent and sprightly style, cannot
fail to command a host of readers. The pub

Nasbt’s Illustration of the South
ern Men’s Position in the Philadelphia
Convention.—“My deer sir, 1 wonstknowd a
Irishman, who was senco killed in a Fenian
raid employed as a artiznn in well diggin.—
It was his lot to go to the bottom uv the ex
cavation and load the buckets with earth.—
The dinner bom sounded, and he, with tbe
alacrity characteristic uv the race, sprang in
to the bucket and told them to hist away,
and they histed; hut as they histed they
amoozed themselves a droppin earth onto
him. “Stop!” said he, “or be gorra, I’ll cat
the rope.” My deer sir, Randall, and Doolit
tle, and Seward, and Johnson are a histin us
out uv the pit we fell into in 1880. Their
little talk about debts, and slavery, and sicb,
is tbe earth they’r droppin onto us for fun,
but 6hall we, like ijeots, cut the rope? Nary!
Let ’em hist, and when we are safe out, and
on solid ground, wo kin, ef we desire, turn
and chuck them into the hold.”
It isdifficult to conceive of a more happy
illustration than the above.. In Georgia wc
have a few men in the “bucket” who would
“cut the rope,” aud we commend to them tbe
ridiculous position of tl.r’r prototype.—
Whatever they may think of themselves, and
however honest they may be in their opin
ions, the public regard them in the same cate
gory with the thoughtless and impulsive
Irishman in the quaintly tohl story, and it ap
pears to us that ns reflecting men they cannot
ikil to recognize the parallel.
tion,” was tho most supremely disgusting.—
It was an insult to tho American character,
a burlesque on politics, and a disgrace to the
Anglo-Saxon race. As regards its pern**,
it stands without a rival in public or private
infamy. The leading men—not delegate** for
every body seemed to represent only himself
—from tho North, are those whose fame for
cowardice and brutality is commensurate
with tbe bounds of Christendom; whilst the
miserable creatures who pretended to repre
sent somebody at the South arc men either
of despicable character or no character at all
and whom no Southerner, who knows them,
would trust unguarded within a furlong of
his sheep-field.
Such characters, with a few bonest bnt
lioneyfugled negroes, made up what is called
“ The Southern Unionists’ Convention.”
With the members who hailed from the
South, and actually belong here, there seemed
to be bat a single object, viz: to disfranchise
the whites and place all power in the hands
of the blacks. It is folly to talk abont Union
men in the sense they use the term; there is
not a corporal’s guard of them in any South
era State, except Tennessee, and there they
do not constitute a sixth of the population
The object, then, of these Southern men in
name, is to Africanize tbe South, and erect a
purely black government, in which the slaves
of yesterday shall give laws to their former
masters. When they return to their homes, we
hope they will have tbe courage honestly to
face tlic people with their infamous doctrine.
*We allude, particularly, to tbe members of
the Convention from the most southernly
tier of States. Fortunately for themselves,
their favorite scheme has been baffled by their
less shameless associates from tbe Border
States, and they will come home with a flea
in their ears and the indignation of their in
sulted and outraged neighbors at their heels.
Practically, the Convention amounts to no
thing, except to exhibit to the world the in
describably infamous character of the men
who set themselves up as the peculiar friends
of the Union at the South. They had some
credit before for moral courage, patriotism
and decency; hereafter the universal world
will regard them with contempt.
THE COTTON PLANTERS’ CONVENTION.
This body, which held its session here
Thursday, transacted but little business. The
attendance was small, on many accounts, and
among them a general impression that as it
was an incorporated institution, only its en
rolled members bad a right to participate in
its deliberations. Another reason was that
the meeting was designed chiefly to revive
an association that had loin dormant for
years, and to blaze the way for future useful
ness. The members, again, were unprepared
to discuss the various important questior
that exercise the public mind at the present
time; all came to hear and learn, but none to
instruct. Under the circumstances, tlic body
acted wisely in adjourning to a future early
day. The next meeting, it will be seen from
the corrected proceedings published this mor
ning, will be held at Milledgeville, on the Se
cond Tuesday in November, thus giving tbe
members of the Legislature an opportunity
to participate, and procuring information
from evciy county in the State.
In view of this adjourned meeting, we re
spectfully suggest to the members of the
Legislature to turn their attention to the van
ous subjects of interest to the planters, grow
ing out of our changed condition, and be
prepared to answer any questions that may
be propoundad to them regarding the expe
riencc of their respective counties.
We hope, also, that the President, in ap
pointing the committees authorized by the
constitution of the association, will prepare
a list of all important subjects, and assign a
special committee to each, with the request
that they investigate and report at the com-
coming session. In this way a vast amount
of information may be collected; and we
hope the reports -which should be as brief
as the nsture of the subject will admit—will
be spread before the public, for nothing at
the present time would be read with greater
avidity. The President might also invite con
tributions on questions of interest to tbe plan
er from the intelligent and observing men of
the State generally, to be laid before the Con
vention and placed in the hands of its various
committees.
Recent changes in our social condition re
quire amendments to the constitution of the
Convention, and perhaps to its charter.—
Steps should be taken to this end, and we
would suggest that the name of the body be
so changed as to admit all planters and farm
ers to membership.

Jefferson Davie.
Mr. Editor: Please allow me a brief space
in that convenient corner of your valued
journal which is kindly appropriated to
‘correspondents,” for whose “views the edi
tor” is, very properly, “not to be considered
responsible.’
My object is to crave an interest in tho
prayers of all Christians for that great and
good man, Jefferson Davis, now suffering un
der a protracted and painful imprisonment
have often wondered that no proposition
was made for united, earnest supplication in
his behalf by the Church of which he is a
member; though I cannot doubt that prayer
is wont to be offered for him daily by many
warm and pious hearts. But wlmt I desire
specially to urge is, a more general,' fervent,
and constant appeal to Heaven for- his relief,
by Christians of the South. This might
surely be made, if not publicly where all might
not desire to unite in the prayer, at least by
all pious hearts, and from every family altar,
where true sympathy and respect are felt for
him. I make no suggestions to the form of
such petitions. That m*st be dictated by the
feelings and judgment those who offer them.
The great end is, lint fervently desired by
the entire South, anJ,«* I bv a large
and respectabl&portion of the North, his re
lease from* imprisonment and restoration to
his family aiyfl fri#nd>. Let us pray for tliis,
in aright spirit,and with due submission to
the will off God.

THE PIEBALD CONVENTION.
A SPLIT ON NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
Two Reports and Addresses.
Philadelphia, Sept. 6.—Tbe addresses
and resolutions of tbe Southern Unionists'
Convention endorses tbe policy of Congress
and opposes tbe restoration of the Southern
States on the conditions proposed by the
President as too lenient, and declare that
amendments to tbe Constitution is the only
legal and constitutional plan for restorin
the rebellious States to the Union.
During the evening session Mr. Hamilton
of Texas, protested against the mode by
which the Border States had overslaughed
tlic Southern Unionists, and gave notice that
a]uiinority report of tbe committee, advoca
ting negro suffrage, would be presented to
morrow. Tbe Convention has virtually split
upon tbe negro suffrage question.
The border States’ delegations, after tbe
adoption of tbe address and resolutions this
morning, desired to adjourn tine die, but
this. wa3 strongly opposed by the Southern
men, and it was finally agreed that the mi
nority should make their report to'morrow
in favor of negro suffrage, and that it be ta
ken as part of the regular proceedings of the
Convention.
It is probable that tbe Border States will
take no part in tbe Convention to-morrow.

Political.
Cincinnati, September 4.—The Democrat!
and Johnson men met in convention to-dar,
and Dominated the Hon. George H. Pendt
ton for Congress in the first district, and The-
adore Cook in the second. Mr. Pendleton
said in his letter accepting the nomination,
that he approved the action of the National
Union Convention; that the war had deddtd
the doctrine of secession; that tlie Soutboa
people, by the action of their Conventions, as
well as by the voice of their delegates it
Philadelphia, had abandoned it as a rule of
political action nnd the basis of political or
ganization. The institution of slavery wu
also involved in the conflict; the arbiter to
which the question was referred had rendered
the decision, but it was the action of the
Southern States which passed away forever
that institution. He advocated the complete
and absolute restoration of the Union upoa
the broad basis of the Constitution, and with
no other conditions than those prescribed ia
that instrument, and the immediate admis
sion to their seats in Congress of the repre
sentatives of the Southern States.
St. Louis, Sept 5.—The Republican State
Convention of Kansas met at Topeka to-daj
and unanimously nominated Governor Craw
ford for re-election, and Sidney Clark for
Congress. Strong radical resolutions were
adopted, supporting Congress and denounc
ing the President.

The Iron Crown.—When the Austrians
recently ceded Venice to France, they carried
off from Venice the famous Iron Crown of
Lombardy, and its restoration has been de
manded by the Italian Government, to whom
France has ceded Venetia. This crown, al
though made chiefly of gold, derives itsname
from an iron band encircling the interior,
which is said to have been made from one of
tho nails driven through Christ’s body at the
crucifixion. It was worn by Charlemagne,
the first Emperor of Germany, more than a
thousand years ngo; was preserved in Italy
through the terrible devastation of the Mid
dle Ages; nnd was finally worn by Napoleon
Bonaparte, who with it was crowned King of
Italy at Milan. When Austria became master
of Lombardy, the crown followed the fortunes
of the country, and now that the country is
again made part of the Italian kingdom, the
Italian Government justly claims the crown.
Opposed to the County Court.—We hear
of considerable opposition to the County
Court in thi3 section of tbe State. The peo
pie think it makes sueiiig too run;/. There is
now about ten times ns much sueing as there
was before the existence of this law, and the
people, in their present straightened circum
stances, can’t stand it. The desire for its re
peal seems to be rapidly on the increase.
The Walker county Grand Jury, at the re
cent session of that Court, made a jiresent-
ment upon the subject, urging its repeal.
It is expected that the Chattooga county
Grand Jury will do tlie same thing this week;
and we bear that a meeting has been called
at Cave Spring for the consideration of this
subject.
This Court has taken nearly all the collect
ing business out of the Justice Courts, and
ubjeets jurors and defendants to the incon
venience of frequently going to the county
its to attend petty law suit.-,.

the average of the past six weeks has been 70,455 ^

Owing to the interruptio'- to trade by the iitfewer, 1 •

should trade not again be interrupted, the export :r
