THE RA DICA L CONVEX TIOX
BROKEN IP’
FIFTY OR SIXTY KILLED AND
MANY WOUNDED
New Orleans, July 30.—The
Radical Convention a tempted to con
vene in this city to-day, which caused
a terrible riot.
The Convention met i t 12 o’clock,
twenty-six members being present
Large numbers of negroes formed in
procession, with drums beating, and
marched to the Mechanics’ Institute,
where the Convention was in session.
The most intense excitement prevail
ed. Indiscriminate firing occuired in ;
several streets, and a number of ne- :
groes were, killed ana some whites
wounded. The police sorrounded the ;
Convention building and endeavored !
to maintain order. On the meeting
of the Convention, the populace sur- j
rounded the building, and an immense
mob of negroes were both inside and
outside. The police and people fi
nally became masters oi Die situation
and the building was closely besieged.
The police attempted to enter the
budding, when they were fired upon.
The firing then commenced from the
outside on the mob inside. And
finally the parties inside surrendered
in a body.
Some fifty or sixty were killed in
the fight. Ex-Gov. Hahn was dread
fully cut up Dr Dostic and John
Henderson were killed. The Presi
dent of the Convention and members
thereof are being arrested one by one
and confined. A little more order and
quiet now prevails.
Impeaching the Ptesident.—
We extract the following from the
Washington correspondence of the
Rochester Democrat:
“Another of the Secretaries, the
ablest ot them all, said to a Senator
yesterday who was bitteily denouncing
the conduct which was robbing the
country of the fruits ot the past sac
rifices : “Yes, Senator, it is j but it
will be worse before it is better.”—
The Cabinet discussion is beleived to
relate to the wholesale removals from
ofiice, which it is now known beyond
a doubt is determined up m. If Con
gress shall checkmate the desperate
treachery by the passage of the bill
reported by Judge Trumbull, we may
look for a series of acts WHICH
WILL END IN THE IMPEACH
MENT OF MR. JuliNSON.—
THERE ARE NOT A FEW WHO
BELIEVE THERE CAN HE NO
SAFETY FOR THE REPUBLIC
WHILE THIS DESPERATE AD
VENTURER REMAINS IN THE
EXECUTIVE CIIAIR. These per
sons-are not unwilling to give him the
chance to commit that suicide act
which will make his removal necessary!
This may be considered wild talk ;
but it is necessary to speak out plain
ly. Ambiguity in phrase or action
now is as much treachery as it would
have been to desert the colors or
to stand still upon the field of battle.”
The New Attorney Genet al. —One
of our Northern exchanges gives the
following history ot the successor of
Mr. Sf eed :
Henry Stansbury was born at Zanes
ville, Ohio; graduated at the Ohio
University, at Athens, Ohio; was
admitted to the bar in 1824, and
commenced pract ice at Lancaster, Ohio,
soon after, and is at present about
seventy years ot age He studied law
seven years before commencing to
practice; and took higher rank among
jurist at the outset than any lawyer
ot the present generation. He was
Attorney General of Ohio under a
portion of the administiations of Gov
ernors Partly and Webb, from about
1845 and 1848, and resumed his pro
fession in Columbus, Ohio, until 1854
and then u oved to Cincinnati where
he has been ever since, though nom
j inally residing in Covington, Ky
In politics he was first a whig, then
i a republican, and finally a staunch
member of the Union party that clect
i ted Lincoln and Johnson, to the plat
j form of which hr still adheres, lie is
certainly one of the most accomplished
lawyers in the United States.

“The True Policy.”— The New
York Herald’s correspondent with
i Gen. Steedman and Fullerton, says:
The contract system is a great inis
! take, wrong in principle, and unjust
in practice. The true, obvious and
I only just policy is to leave capital and
1 labor to adjust themselves according
to the law of supply end demand The
negro is a necessity of the South.- -
; Four thousand miles, of traveling and
four months of close observation in
I seven of the Southern States convince
me of that fact. The planter cannot
do without him. wherever white la
bor has been tried in cotton and rice
! fields it has proved an utter and i_.no
| minious failure, on the other hand,
the planter is a necessity to the negro
Nowhere can ths negro find a better
market for his labor than in cultiva
ting the products of the Sunny South.
He is adapted for the work and for
the climate. There mutual depen
dence ; and with fair and equal laws,
j I am convinced that the negro can get
along much better without government

Tkomasville, Georgia, Wednesday, August 8. 1860.
The Niagara ol’ the AVest —-4- “ “slit's
Woniler —Tlie Croat Kh*k*f 1 all*.
Away in the wilds jaf Idaho, midway
between Salt Lake and Oregon, the air j
is thundered andTTfie air is rent by a 1
cataract as imp-sing as Niagara. Bit
uated on the Sagebrush plains, le- j
tween the Rocky Mountains and the
Cascade Range, die Groat Shoshone ;
is a world's wonder, which for savage
scenery at and power sublime stands un
rivaled in America. These falls of
the Snake or Lewis Fork of the Co
lumbia have been but a couple years
discovered, and have been seen as yet
by scarce as many scores of white
men.
This Majestic masterpiece of nature’s
engineeting lies a few miles-off from
the Overland Stage toute, running
northwesterly between Salt Lake and
Poise cities, and hall way (or about
2UO miles) from those said capitals of .
Idaho and Utah.
Traveling by compass across the j
boundless sage plains, where no living j
being breaks the desert stillness (save ,
here and there a hissing snake, half j
bid between a regiment of horned j
toads and high range of ant bills), and
the roar of the cataract which may
be plainly beard at star ing, had grad- j
ua!]y died away. The sage plain re
maius’ unbroken to the view, and no ;
appearance of any river. Still riding
on, and suddenly, without warning,’
be reins up on the brink ot a perpen
dicular precipice over a thousand leet
in height, at the foot ot which appa
rently unfathomed abyss SnuJ e Ri vtr
seems but like a narn w solver rtbo^ n -
Down stream, about a half mile dis
tant, a long monument of mist Walls j
earth to heaven.
The tiver, about two hundred yards .
in width, coming slowly from the
southeast, overtowered by perpendicu
lar walls of basaltic rock, over eight
hundred feet high, suddenly expands
into a basin of’ twice its width, and
there is div'ded into a half dozen
streams by dark looking rocks, which
raise their gloomy crests above the I
sparkling surf of the maddened waters, j
Every stream rushes over a fall ot I
thirty feet, and every.fall is of a dis- I
ferent shape, coming fanciful and
fluctuating yet physically fixed as !
they have ever been while centuri s, j
like shadows, have flown over them. !
The river, resuming its course, is |
again divided, and takes a second |
tumble if sixty feet still further, but
this time by only three different j
streams. Three falls are the result , ;
oue on each side unbroken, and falling j
in solid sheets, the central one being 1
formed by seven fan-shaped steppes
of rock. From tbe one of these benches 1
to the oth >r underneath the water
falls in a smooth transparent sheet,
forming a cascade unsurpassed in the
would, and contrasting strangely, by
its dark, transparent color, with the
tnstlina, roaritur, foaming streams
surrounding it both above and at the
sides. The river becomes once move
smooth and dark in color. Its banks
suddenly jut out from both sides,
narrowing the channel to four bun
dred feet, and through this gap the
confined mass of water precipitates
itself into one whole volume, v.ithout
break or hindrance, into an ominous
aby-s almost three hundred feet in
depth. No pen can describe this
scene. This is in reality the “Great
Fall,” and is well worthy of its name,
leaping as it does from the loom ol
nature like a colossal sheet of silver.
Forming a slight horse shoe, its
central waters appear blue until they
meet tire spray that rises even heaven
ward from the foot of the foaming
cataract. The sides are frayed into
foam, and remind one of the pictured
avalanches of the Alps. Right on
the adge of the fall stands a lone
pillar of gray sandstone, on whose
summit, udisturbed by the whiz of
waters or the fate fast yawning on
tbiir eyrie a pair of baldheaded eagles
have build their nest, and are now
rearing their young, in sight of the
sublimity and solitude surrounding.—
The cataract sound, but slightly heard
above, is absolutely deafening as you
reach the rivet’s base, the roaf of the
falls confined as it is by the high walls
of the canon, rushing down the chasm
a.d increasing in volume as it rolls,
so as to be heard fully thirty miles
southwest. Close to the cataract is a
square shaped cave of tilteen feet each
side and twenty leet high, whose walls
are supported by basaltic colums, the
Regularity of whose formation is un
surpassed by anything in the Isle ol
Stuffu, or the Giant's Causeway.—
j Sliding out of this cave, and falling
| about eight feet on to a grassy slope
that leads to the water’s edge, within
two hundred feet of the foot of the
falls, you are right in the middle of
the mist, and wet though in an instant.
It is here that by looking up, the
enormous altitude of the fall can be
realized, and the first feeling is one
of self-preservation, an involuntary
drawing back, for the whole mass
seems ready to drop and crush you
where you stand. Never can the
weired beauty jf this scene be forpot
! ten by beholders. Rainbows of a
thousand hues seem to surround you
and their iiisis to arch you in the
j skies.
The white foaming waters form a
brilliant background to the magic
prisms pictured by the spray. The
dark frowning rocks, relieved by the
bright green junipers, make a fitting
frame for this magnificent sight, sec
ond to none in savage grandeur. As i
measured by officers of the First Or- 1
egou infantry, encemped adjoining, 1
tlie main fall is 210 feet fiom the edge j 1
to the level of the water below. The j
upper falls have not yet been measur
ed, but the total fall of the river, on
the three distinct tumbles it takes,
cannot be less than - 3UO feet, while
the river itself is over 400 feet at its
narrowest width. The channel of the
stream below the falls is a chasm
1,500 feet in width, and 1,000 in
depth, with perpendicular walls ol
rock inclosi ngit. i

Aruiiuj;.
New York, July 24. —Foreign pa- i
pers contain the following additional
details of war news :
The Moscow Gazette, of July 13,
Contains the highly, important an
nouncement that Russia does not desire
any change in the present state of
things in Europe. If Austria and Prus
sia will render themselves the tools cf
France, Russia can no longer depend.;
on them as heretofore:- —Yonetia, with-j
out Rome, would constitute no progress
for Italy. The submission of Austria
to France is not advantageous but dan
gerous, to the European equilibrium.
The supremacy of Prussia in Northern j
G nnatiy favors, that of Russia in the !
Baltio. Russia’s love of peace does'not ‘
sanction their effort to.attain supreme ,
power. England’s interest may make
her carry her-elf into an alliance with
France and Austria on the Eastern j
question, id-1 the dictatorship of France i
in It lay and Germany meet her

The I‘i'UNsinii “AcctUc’l 4Jt:n [
The cartridge used in the “Needle’’ ,
gun is made of stiff card-board, the
ball, powder, and explosive composi- r
tion being contained in. one and the j
same cylinder. Its great peculiarity ;
i3 that the detonating powder is placed ;
immediately in the rear of the base !
of the bull and between it and the i
powder. The advantage of this is, :
that when the powder is ignited that’
portion next the ball in which combus
tion is first perfected exerts its full
force upon the ] rojectile, tl e powder
in rear also exerting its influence, as
it becomes almost simultaneously ig
nite 1. Under the jivc-mt stsu-uj, it. ‘
which that part of tlie powder next to
the breech of the gun is first ignited,.;
a portion of the powder is frequently j
expelled from the gun with the ball/
in a condition of only partial combus
tion, the. explosive force of the powder j
first consumed being adequate to expel i
the ball and the powder in its front
before the whole charge has time to
become entirely ignited. Thus in the
“Needle” gun all the powder is con
sumed, and applied to tlie best effect, j
and so as to obtain its fullest force at
the same instant and in the same di- !
reetion.
The “Needle” gun is a breach-Ioad
• er; and when the trigger is pulled, a
stout “needle” or wire is thrust through
the base of the cartridge, parallel with
its axis, into the detonating charge by
the ball, causing its explosion and the
ignition of the cartride. . .
In accuracy the “Needle” gun can
not •be surpassed, and its effective [
range is said to be about fifteen iiun- |
dred yards. It is, however, doubtful ,
whether it will be found to bear with !
impunity the necessarily rough treat
ment of an active campaign.
The Prussian Jagera and sharp- j
shooters generally are armed with this j
! formidable weapon, and upon a skir
misii line, when it can be used with
i care and deliberation, it must prove
| highly effective.

The Threatened Radical Civil
War.—-The New York World, in an j
editorial on Air. Raymond’s letter,
i says'; • _ •
“The country is informed upon no
less respectable authority than that of
1 the Chairman of the Na'ional Execu
tive Committee of the Republican par
ty, a member also of the House of
| Representatives, Mr. Raymond, that i
the Radicals in and. out qt Congress, j
j have projected and planned a political j
revolution, are already preparing anew
civil war —a war not of sections, but
of neighborhoods. It is. not possible
to overestimate the impo tance of this
announcement, and Mr. Raymond
deserves the thanks of those who do
cot thirst for a fiercer carnage, than
can find parallel anywhere, save in
Paris during the revolution of ’D2, for ;
his exposure ot the Radical plots, |
made openly in the Times under h s
own initials, as well as for giving
publicity to the violent and reckless
proceedings of the late caucus, which
were such as to prepare the count:y
to believe nothing to be too de-per
ate or costly which promises their
revolution success. By thus unveil
ing the Radical plots, before the coun
try is launched upon a fatal tide of
events, Mr. Raymond has made the
best itse of his presence at the secret
caucus; and if, tvheie his friends and
the country naturally expected a vig
orous denunciation, he there imposed
silence upon himself in order that the
villainy of the revolution.sts might
go its whole length, his silence will no 1
be misinterpreted to hts discredit, now
that he has published that villainy to
the world.”

What tools some • people are'.over
their first baby !. Mamma will pinch
him, just to hear the dear little dar- \
j lin cry. Pappy would let the dear

[he (papa) was blue. Mamma insists
on tl-u fling- baby with cake, until the’

mamma’ atid papa hears, the sweet
little dear groan, they, immediately
come to the conclusion .that- batty is
going to die, and send for a half-dozen
doctors without delay.
Mamma insists on getting baby’s I
shoes two sizes too small for the baby’s
feet, tor the purpose of keeping the
dear little darliu’s swe.t little’ footins
from growing out of shape, and the :
Consequence is baby can't stand up, ]
and therefore falls down, and cuts bis
dear little lip on the stove* .Mammal

but after everybody has forgotten j

; After she erets through that delightful j

Nightly Assemblies of the Radicals
—The National Intelligencer, speak-*
, ingot the nightly assemblies of the
Radical majorty in Congress, quotes
from Roman History a parallel, scene r
Antony, Octavius, Lepidus” seated :
; at a table.
1 .Ant.— —These many, then, shall die ;
their names are pricked.
Octv.' —Your brother, toc, must die ; ‘

Lep. — Upon condition Publius shall

Ant. —He shall not live; with a spot

It is ever thus., ambition, tyranny,
and treason work out their proud pur
poses in secret. Conspiracy is born in
secrecy.
With these remembrances and con
| siderations before us, we have never
; bad aught but hate of secret political
j conclaves Hence it is with a fixed
i feeling of sorrow we have heard of the
nightly assemblages of the majority of
Congress in the Capitol, with closed
and guarded doors, under the injunc

The laying of the corner stones of
the two cotton factoties on the Chatta
hoochee river, near West Point, will
be celebrated on Wednesday, the first
day of August. The two companies
—the “Alabama and Georgia” and
the “Chattahoochee”—desire to make
the occasion memorable, and hope to
I arouse a spirit of enterprise in favor
of Southern manufacturing interests.
We are also informed that some of the
most talented and prominent gentle
-1 men of the States of Alabama and
Georgia are expected to be present
and make addresses on the occasion.—
