THE PHII. t DBLPHI I CONVEX- Tl>’ ‘i-KKSS DESPATCH-) Philadelphia, Aug. lGth. —The Convcntiou met at ten, and the Wig wam was crowded to its utmost capaci ty, Half of the audience are ladies. ” Senator Cowan, from the Committee on resolutions and address, presented a declaration of Principles, which was unanimously and cntbusinstically ad opted. It declares that the war juit closed has maintained the authority of the Constitution, and has preserved the Union with the equal rights dig nity and authority of all the States perfect and unimpaired—that repres. entation in Congress and in the Elec toral Colleges is a right abiding in and a duty imposed upon, every State, and that neither Congress nor the General Government has any authority or pow er to deny the right to any State — that Congress has no power over the Elective franchise, but that rights be longs exclusively to each State —that no State has the right to withdraw from the Union —that on all Constitu tional amendments all the States have an equal right to vote —that slavery is abolished, and forever prohibited — that the National debt is sacred and j inviolable, an I the Confederate debt j invalid. The resolutions recognize the i services of the Federal soldiers and sailors and the debt due by the nation to them and their widows and orphans, and endorse President Johnson for his steadfast devotion to the Constitution, laws, and interests of the country. The address was prepared by Mr. Raymond, of New York, and was read by that gentleman, and unanimously adopted. The National Committees, executive l and financial, were then announced. president Doolittle’s address. Mr. Doolittle said, in his opening address, that the Convention was one of the greatest events of our day; it was the first National Convention in six years, and in the interim there had been blood, agony and tears. Our brothers had fallen and our resources j been wasted on a thousand battle : fields; but, thank God, the assurances here tell us that peace has come at last If the people of the whole country could see the fraternal feeling here, there would be no struggle at the polls this Tall. [Great applause.] But as the whole people cannot bo here to witness what is transpiring, the greater work rests on us. From this time until the election of the next Congress, we should be untiring in our exertions to see that the next Congress, if this one shall continue to refuse this sacred right of representation to equal States ‘ shall recognize them. [Applause.] When that is done, the Union will be ! restored, and when the Union is res- j tored, we shall be prepared to enter upon a higher and nobler career among ‘ the nations of the earth than has ever j yet been occupied by any government j upon which the sun of heaven ever j shone. [Applause.] The following is the organization. J. R. Doolittle, President. Among the Vice. Presidents are, J. W. Brockenbrough, of Ya.; John A. Gilmer, of N. C ; Judge Wardlaw, of S. C.; llich’d T. Lyons, of Ga.; Judge Randall, of Fla,; Cuthbert Bullett, of La; J. M Tibtats, of Ark.; D. J Burnett, of Tex.; Geo. S. Houston, of Ala.; Thos. A, R.

PKOCLAtUTIOX. The President has issued a procla mation declaring that the insurrection which heretofore existed in the State of Texas is at an end, and is to be henceforth so regarded in that State. In the other States in which the said insurrection was declared at an end by the proclamation of the 2d of April, IS6G, the President , proclaims that the said insurrection is at an end, and that peace, order tran quility and civil authority now exist in and throghout the whole of the United States of America. The Journey of Life.— Ten thou sand human beings set forth together on their journey. After ten years, one third. at least, have disappeared. At the middle point of the common mea sure oflife, but half are upon the road. Faster and faster, as the ranks grow thinner, they that remain till now be come weary, and lie down and rise no more. At three-score and ten, a band of some four hundred yet struggles on. At ninety, these have been reduced to a handful of thirty trembling patri archs. Year after year they fall in diminihing numbers. One lingers, perhaps, a lonely marvel till the cen turv is over. We look again, aud the work is finished.— Bishoj) Burgess. - - BST’The New York Times gives a two column account of the organ lately erected in Mr. Beecher's Church, in Brooklyn.

That old familiar name got into , our mind instead of Southern Express. He is Agent of the great Southern Express Company, with his office now on Main street, where it will be much more conve nient to transact business with him. ■ — Editorial Visit.—We had the pleasure on Friday and Saturday last, of the com pany of Mr. Geo. Pedrick, of the Bain i bridge Southern Georgian. Mr. Pedrick was on a tour of business connected with his paper and halted three days in Thom asville among his old friends and acquain tances. He is now somewhere in the Land of Flowers, if true to his word. - -• • - •—-—* j Frontiers of France.—lt is reported by Atlantic Cable, that the Emperor Napo- I leon has receded from his demand upon Prussia, for the extension of the frontiers of France to their ancient boundaries upon the river Rhine.

On our first page we give an interesting section of the report of the Committee, on the investigation of the plot to convict Mr. Davis and others upon false testimony, of participation in the assassination of Presi dent Lincoln. We had no room for the en tire report, but this is sufficient to show the villainy of Holt and other high officials, who suborned the miserable wretches who : here confess their guilt, and expose the plot to all the world. It seems incredible that American citizens, even of the lowest and most abandoned character, could en gage in a conspiracy so deliberate and vil lainous, to take the lives of innocent men, for the sake of filthy lucre. There is ,no language sufficient to express the indigna ti6n of an honest man, no punishment known to the laws, terrible enough to scourge the heartless villains who would stain their hands with innocent blood. SOTTII GEORGIA A FLORIDA RAH. ROAD The Bainbridge Argus of last week at ■ tempts to throw cold water upon the enter ! prise advocated by us two weeks ago, of constructing a Railroad between Thomas j ville and Albany. But the reasoning of i the Argus is entirely without point or basis. How is it possible for a railroad from Al , bany to Monticello, to injure “Savannah, Brunswick, the Atlantic & Gulf Road,” or t in any manner “interfere with the railroad i system of the State ” ? The editor of the i Argus, is perhaps the only man in the State I who does not know (if he knows anything about the State.) that such a railroad, so far from injuring Brunswick and Savan nah, or interfering with the railroad system of the State, will greatly benefit both those places and add another link toward the perfection of our railroad system. The : editor but shows his ignorance on the sub- I ject when he says it was a ‘ war measure only.” Over here we know that the pro | ject was gotten up, the charter obtained and $70,000 subscribed, long before the war commenced, and the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad Company knew all about it with out offering any opposition. On the con trary that Company purchased the charter, pledging themselves to begin the work within a reasonable period. ■■ - ♦ ♦ ■ ■ DON’T YOU DO IT! The Bainbridge Southern Georgian, has despaired of the extension of the Atlantic & Gulf road to Bainbridge, and in its fury it now threatens to turn all the trade of Decatur, Miller,Early, Baker and Mitchell Counties, (which it says are the “best cot ton counties in Southern Geergia,”) to New Orleans. The editor says he is going to New Orleans in September, and then he will arrange the whole matter. Don’t you do it George! Such a prodigious shipment of Cotton to New Orleans, as the whole crop from the Counties you name, would be too great a draft on Savannah, and would j leave that city high and dry without com merce. ■ ■ - • •A— NEGRO DRILLING. We endorse the views of the Macon Tele graph, that the secret drilling among the negroes throughout the South, is a part of the scheme of the Radicals North to uphold their power at every hazard, and that these colored troops, trained under the secret agency of the Freednien's Bureau, are to be turned loose upon their old masters whenever the Radicals are driven to the last extremity. The Telegraph does not believe any great danger is to be appre hended to the whites from this scheme, but as there are some individuals who may fo ment discord and do mischief, it calls upon | the Government to disarm universally this 1 class of our population, and we believe the j safety of the black as well as the white race imperatively demands it. The Gov ernment should look to this matter ; but in case of dilatoriness on the part of the Go vernment, our people who are thus men accd by the Radicals and their Agents, should be ready for the emergency. DRILLING PROHIBITED. GenT Terry, commanding at Richmond, Ya.. has at last issued orders prohibiting the nightly drilling of negro bands in that city, and prohibited the further assemblage of such military organizations. But his dilatoriness in the matter, and otherwise unfriendly demonstrations toward the white people of that District, have caused him to be superceded. The New York World com i ments severely upon these things, and ap proves the order of GenT Terry, but says it is not enough. The World argues cor rectly, that so dangerous a body of illiter ate and insubordinate barbarians should i also be disarmed of the accoutrements fur nished them by ill disposed Northern men. PHILADELPHIA CONTENTION. This Convention met on the 14th inst The great Wigwam was filled to overflow ing with zealous enthusiastic people. A large number of ladies were present. Gen. Dix was temporary Chairman and made a stirring speech. Fernando Wood and Yal landigham declined to enter the Convention for the sake of harmony. Both, however, wrote letters which were read and greatly applauded. Senator Doolittle was elected permanent President of the Convention, and delivered a speech which produced great enthusiasm. Judge Lyon of Georgia was elected Vice President. A Jispatach was received from President Johnson very encouraging, and expressing great confidence in the success of the Con vention, which gave general satisfaction, and was received with tremendous ap plause. The utmost harmony prevailed throughout the proceedings. (Special to the Telegraph.) Philadelphia, Aug-16.- The Convention, after a three day’s session, completed its labors and adjourned to-day sine die. During the session to-day, the wigwam was crowded to excess, a very large num ber of ladies being present and evincing the greatest interest in the proceedings. The platform of principles agreed upon was read by Mr. Cowan, Chairman of the Committee; an address to the people was read by Hon. Henry J. Raymond, of New York. Doth documents were heartily cheered and unanimously adopted. Ter feet harmony and unanimity prevailed. The delegates and visitors are dispers ing; ten thousand persons left the city for their homes to-day. Warwick. THE A'OItTII AND THE SOUTH. Governor Orr, of South Carolina, in at tendance at the Philadelphia Convention, made a speech at the Girard Hall in that city, in which he said : “The Northern interpretation of the Constitution has been firmly and legally established that decision was pronounced on the battle field and the decree is incon trovertible. The South has surrendered her principles and accepts the Northern interpretation. We are willing to abide it forevet.” These may be Governor Orr’s sentiments, who entered the Convention arm in arm with a Massachusetts delegate, in token of the reunion of North and South, but history would make it appear that South Carolina thus makes her submission, or in other words kisses the hand of the sociter. In our opinion, there can be no real unanimity of sentiment, or cordial reunion of interest between the North and South, until the odious measures in tlie Constitution are expunged and the South restored to equal ity of rights, ADVERTISER AND C ITIZEN. The Savannah Advertiser and Macon Citi zen, are tickling each other, and complain ing that “ other papers ” principally coun try papers, use their editorials without giving them proper credit. Now, why don’t you gentlemen out with the culprits ? If tee are not guilty, we do not like to be linked with others in a vague insinuation. These “ country papers ” have mills that grind also, when the streams are up, and not long ago we saw grits from our mill sup plying a large city establishment —no thanks to us. W ; e made no complaint—was it modesty ? We should be sorry to find that we had done so great an injury to any of our cotemporaries, for after such desperate tugging, they should have credit for their labors. B RUINS AVICK COURIER. W'e have received a copy of the Bruns wick Courier, just issued by Messrs. Or me & Wattles—the former as editor. The Cou rier is a good sized paper and well filled with reading matter. Brunswick was in need of a paper to keep her great advanta ges as a port before the country, and we hope the Courier will be sustained. COTTON MARKET. From W'm. Bryce & Co’s Circular, Aug. 10. Texas.

President Johnson and most of his Cabi net, with many other distinguished persons are about to set out for Chicago, to be pre sent at the dedication of the Douglass Monument. Tlic Frccdmen’s Bureau in Georgia From the final report of Mess s. Steed man & Fullerton we make the following extract concerning Georgia, in which one Captain Lambert, who administered Bureau affairs in this city, greatly to his own advantage, and was brave enough to offer indig nities to gentlemen, which, surround ed by his armed negro minions, comes in for a charcoal sketch -Macon Telegraph. GEOBOIA. The Bureau in Georgia, under the management of the present able and efficient Assistant Commissioner, Bre vet Major-General Tillson, has been honestly administered, and has accom plished all the good of which the sys tem is capable. It has been assisted by the Governor, by judges of the supreme courts, by the civil authori ties, and to some extent by the citizens. The amended laws of Georgia are fully as liberal a5 those of any North ern State, and place the negroes in all respects on a perfect equality with a white man as to his civil rights. Not withstanding this fact we have found that agents of the Bureau have taken cases out of the hands of the civil authorities, and have tried to dispose of them in a manner never contem plated by the laws of the State. For instance, the citizen Judge of the Freedmen’s Court at Savannah sen tenced two negroes to thirty days hard labor in the chain gang on a charge of horse stealing, to which they pleaded guilty. A white man committing the same offense would have been liable, under the State laws, to the penitentiary, or even to death, at the discretion of the jury. In cases previously disposed of in this same court, cne freed man, for assault* ing with a knife, with intent to kill, was fined 820, and another freedman, for a similar offense was sent to pris on for five months, when, by the laws of Georgia, the punishment prescribed for this crime is imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than two nor more than ten years. Decisions such as these must of necessity create among the white people a feeling of contempt for the freedmen’s courts and of ill-will towards the United States Government, which permits such an unjust interference with the laws of the State. In the Freeduien’s Court at Macon, presided over by Capi. L. J. Lambert more serious irregular ities have occurred. A Mr M. J. Morgan and bis son, a Mr. Boulton, and a Mr. Samuel Berwich, were tried in this court for cruelty to a freedman were convicted, and were fined in the aggregate ?550 Ihe fines imposed upon the two Morgans, amounting to S3OO, were reported by the agent, but no aocount was rendered of the remaining .$250. Captain Lambert in a written explanation, herewith for warded (marked A,) states that the money and papers in this case were stolon from his office, and that he made up his report from memory. It does not appear, however, that Capt. Lambert made any official mention of the robbery until after this discrepan cy was discovered by us. We found that Captain Lambert’s records as a rule were very loosly kept, and that his predecessor, who had collected thousands of dollars, left no record or evidence behind him of the disposition made of the money received. A sim ilar absence of records prevented our making a thorough investigation of the accounts in other offices in the State. The Freed men in Georgia, when we went through the State, were reg ularly at work, and wherever their wages were remunerative and general ly paid them, were contented and do ! ing well. - L The Needle Gun. The Secret Discovered—A Cincinna tian Concerned in the Enterprise. Since the breaking out of the pres ent European war, most persons have read something of the Prussian “needle gun/’ They have feared that the peculiarity of the gun is a secret pre paration for igniting the powder next to the ball, instead of at tho rear of the powder, by which the powder is all consumed and the greatast possible force is given to the charge. It is said, also, that only one person is in possession of the secret, and he is constantly guarded by a force of twelve men from the regular Prussian army, to keep him from imparting it to others. Many efforts have been made by European nations to discover the se cret composition, but without success. But we have been assured that the secret has been discovered in . this country. We were called upon yes terday by Mr Geo. Herzog, of this city, who informed us that a friend of his in Newark, N. J., Mr. E. Kro : nenburg, with whom he is pecuniarily connected in the enterprise, has for four years, part of the time in Europe, been experimenting with a view to learn the composition of the igniting material rs this gun, and that a few months since, he achieved complete success. But before letting the fact be known he communicated with the Governments of France, England and Austria, to learn what propositions they would make him for the secret. Having heard from them, he now proposes to offer it to the United States Government. Mr. Herzog has one of the gtfis in the city and will in a few days have some of the cartridges for exhibition.’ —— -+ • •- ► ; - • Visit of Queen Emma to Washington. Her Majesty, the Queen Dowager of the Sandwich Islands, accompanied by her suite, arrived at W’iliards hotel last evening. Departments suitable to her rank had previously been en gaged for her at the hotel. After a quiet and stricty private dinner, she was called upon by Judge Stanberry, Acting Secretary of State, who, in a brief speech, congratulated her on her safe arrival at the capital of the Union, and stated that the President of the United States had been informed of her Majesty’s arrival, and who would be pleased to give her an audience at the Executive Mansion at any time best suited to her convenience. Her Majesty made a brief response, saying that she would be most happy to meet the President of the United States, at an early date, and thanked the people whom she had met for their kindly greetings. i’ “ - • ♦ • Proceedings or Council.
