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 wet nursing than with it 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 - Tlie Allituiie of Iln**in—The Treaty between Italy ami l*iu**iu —France 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 suppott. I ■ 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.” The Teimessrr I.cgiwlntnrc (ioitig It Strong.-’ .
