CONSTITUTIONALIST.
AUGUSTA. GA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 15,1866.
THE CONVENTION NEWS.
No discussion—the re-affirmation in «ui Ad
dress of the principles of the Call—and a
separate manifesto from Southern delegates—
seems the programme of the National Union
Convention yesterday assembled at Phila
delphia. We have no comment to offer—tint
programme speaks trumpet-tongued for itself.
And so does the speech of his Excellency, Gov
ernor Orb.
Our New York Correspondence.
New York, Aug. 9th.
I have no desire to deal with the private ut
terances of any gentleman ; but perhaps it will
not be improper to write, that it is understood
in our political circles that lion. Alex. H. Ste
phens has written a letter to friends here, upon
the subject of tho approaching Philadelphia
Convention, in which he has expressed himself
substantially in these terms - “If the Northern
Democrats cannot keep Fernando Wood and
Vallaudighara out ol the Convention, they had
better be turned over to the Southern Demo
crats, who will see what can be . .” Such
sentiments naturally occasion some surprise.
Messrs. Wood and Valiandigham will appear as
representatives of undoubted constituencies.
Messrs. Weed, Raymond and Doolittle will ap
pear with nobody at their backs, but a lew
office holders. It is also stated, on what I be
lieve to be good authority, that Mr. Wood met
Mr. Raymond lately, and said, “ Are you going
to the Philadelphia Convention, Mn Raymond?”
“ 1 expect 1 shall,” was Mr. Raymond’s reply.
“ Well,” rejoined Mr. Wood, “ 1 shall be there
too.” “ I shall be sorry,” remarked Mr. Ray
mond ; “ for I shall be compelled, on seeing
you come in at one door, to go out at another.”
Here we have the direction of purpose, and the
prospect of result.
TUB CRISIS.
I find, among publicists, an oppressive sense
of the crisis, through which the country must
pass, in the next six months. Both Radicals
and Conservatives admit that at no time wince
the bombardment of Fort Sumter, has the fu
ture of North and South alike seemed so uncer
tain. The Radicals are defiant, confident and
uncompromising. The Conservatives cool and
determined. Both admit that if Johnson ex
pects to retain his seat in the Presidential chair
till the close of the next session of Congress,
he will have to fight for it; and the ruling opin
ion among both Radicals and Conservatives is,
that he will fight. Fessenden is the man se
lected to succeed Foster as President of the
Senate, and become President ad interim —but
it may be Morgan or Sherman. The Philadel
phia Convention may put such a decided shape
upon the probable future that the conflict be
tween President and Congress will be avoided.
We shall see. One proposition is now broached
which betrays the hopelessness of the Conser
vative Republicans. It is, that Secretary Sew
ard shall announce himself a candidate for the
next Presidency, and immediately take the
stump in liis own behalf! A more pitiful expe
dient cannot well be imagined.
THE CHOI.ERA.
The papers are anxious to decry the extent
ol' the epidemic, and it has been asserted that
we have no genuine cholera. Os course I shall
not dispute professionals ; but it is a pretty
severe disease that will seize a man who is ap
parently well, and prostrate him almost as
quickly as you would twist up a bit of paper.
Still, I have uo idea that persons coming from
inland towns to this city, will run any risk of
cholera, if they conduct themselves with ordi
nary prudence. An attack from cholera is
usually the result of causes that are more than
passing in their character.
SHODDY JUBILANT.
Our shoddy aristocracy have caught a live
Queen Dowager, (she of Sandwich Islands,)
and are in a state of great rejoicing and excite
ment, not unmixcd with that jealousy which is
a of mean people, who have
grown suddenly rich. •
u’i,» « Queen Dowager” is to he feted in every
conceivable style; and it Is humiliating to think
of the comparison which she must make be
tween the vulgar snobs by whom she is sur
rounded, and the enlightened nobility who con
stitute the best society of Great Britain.
ASSERTION OP PUBLIC OPINION.
It is seldom that tiie assertion of public opin
ion has any effect to prevent any public outrage,
or to compel auy act of public justice in this
great Babylon. Our public officers who have
paid so much cash for their places care no more
for the people, whom they nominally serve,
than they do for the ten commandments. Bent
on their own profit they pay no attention to
he cries of their victims. But public opin
ion has latterly had greater weight with
them than in years before. The great cor
porations feel it too. The picayune courts set
out to protect all sorts of nuisances from the
action of the Board of Health. But in the past
week they have been compelled to abandon the
project, and leave the Board of Health un
trammelled. The great street railway corpora
tions set out to disobey the law of Congress re
specting tickets, but they found it difficult
to collect their fares and forthwith tickets were
issued. These are excellent sigus of the times.
We have grown so rapidly that society has
been kept disorganized, and we have had no
strong opinion which is so essential in popular
governments.
BUSINESS MATTERS.
Gold and Federal securities are firm, and
there has been a considerable speculative move
ment in dividend paying railway shares. • The
political troubles still have no effect and are
not expected to have till Congress meets. Cot
ton and cotton goods are drooping. A specu
lation lias checked the decline in breadstuff's,
and provisions are very firm. Other business
matters remain quiet and unchanged.
Willoughby.
The Reports Relative to the Release
op Mr. Davis.—“ Druid,” writing to the News
from Washington, says of the reports relative
to the release of Mr. Davis: “ These reports
have the following foundation, and no more:
The lapse of time has entirely dispelled the as
sassination charge against Mr. Davis. For
eight months his bitterest enemies have been
dragging the sewers aud gutters of society for
creatures base enough, degraded enough to
swear to falsehoods ready made to put in their
mouths. They have found a few such crea
tures ; but, as Mr. Rogers’ masterly report
shows, they have found one shred of evidence
that could go before a jury. The President has
been fearfully deceived by these men. They
have constantly assured him that there was
abundant evidence to convict Mr. Davis of com
plicity in the assassination. But now, when
they have confessdly failed to make goood this
assertion; when it is evident that Mr. Davis
must be tried for treason or not tried at all, the
President has determ in’ed that he shall no
langer be held in military custody ; for, be it
remembered, Mr. Davis is held as a prisoner of
war—a prisoner of war sixteen months after
the termination of the war. It is a grave of
lcuse against the laws of nations to hold pris
oners of war after the war has ended; and,
therefore, it is said the President has determin
ed that Mr. Davis shall be either at once re
leased, or else handed over to the custodyof
the civil authorities. Such, I believe, after
diligent inquiry, to be the foundation of the re
port that Mr. Davis is to be released.”
I A journal called “ The Earwig ” is about to
be started in London. They already have there
“ The Owl," “ The Bat," and “ The Hornet,"
and, in Liverpool, “ The Porcupine." The first
named is to be published by the members of a
Volunteer Rifle Association. Should the cham
pions of the English Prize Ring determine to
start an organ of their own “The Bull Pup”
would be apt to suggest itself as an appropriate
name for it.
Confederate Dead at Appomattox Court
House.— We learn from the Petersburg Index
that the ladies of the village of Appomattox
Court House, and the adjoining county, have
formed a Memorial Association with the object
of having the remains of Confederate soldiers
at that place properly buried in a neat enclo
sure.
Professor Agassiz and wife arrived in New
jfork on the 39th ultimo, from South America.
General Stuart Not Forgotten Abroad.
The gallant Stuart, says the Richmond Whig ,
whose mortal remains sleep in the little green
grave, that so many visit, at Hollywood, has
not been forgotten. His daring exploits rang
around the world, and in the war that so lately
raged in Europe no cavalry leader appeared
who could be compared with him. It was the
boast of the Austrians, at the beginning of the
war, that they had the finest cavalry in the
world, and there was a general expectation that
we would hear of cavalry exploits that would
revive the days of Murat and his daring horse
men. But every such expectation has been dis
appointed. The Austrians seem to have no
great leader in any branch of their service. The
word “ effete" seems to apply to them with pe
culiar significance and appropriateness. All
the vigor, all the dash, and all the forecaste and
ability have been with Prussia. Macaulay said
that Frederick the Great made Prussia “ all
sting.” She has certainly proved to be so in
the “short, sharp, decisive war” which has
crowded into the compass of a few days’ events
that would suffice for a quarter of a century.
We say the gallant Stuart has not been for
gotten abroad. The military correspondent of
the London Times thus writes from Powlowitz:
“Were there such a cavalry General on the
Austrian side at present as the Confederate Gen
eral Stuart in the American civil war, he would
have a grand chance to-day to win a glorious
stake by a raid upon Bruun. The King of Prus
sia is in that town at the present moment, and
only two battalions of infantry and one squad
ron of cavalry have been left as his escort.—
With him are Count Bismarck, General Yon
Moltke, the War Minister, General Von Roon,
and a large staff of officers. If these could be
captured, or even one alone, on what different
terms could Austria sue for peace? But it
would need a man of Stuart’s intrepidity to at
tempt to seize the prize, and the capture would
not be effected without severe cost; but to se
cure the King would compensate for any sacri
fice. The Austrian cavalry probably does not
even know of the defenceless state of Brunn,
but in one of their own provinces, where the
inhabitants are fellow-countrymen, they ought
to have ample information, and the perfect
knowledge of the country which they should
have would materially assist in such an enter
prise.”
Baltimore’s Opportunity—The Southern
Trade. —The magnificent charities dispensed
to the destitute and suffering people of the
South by those of Baltimore, have caused all
eyes in this section to turn towards her in gra
titude and admiration. Their generosity says
the Nashville Union and American, may be just
ly esteemed disinterested, and as flowing from
a pure and unaffected benevolence. These evi
dences of kindly sympathy have not only made
us acquainted with Baltimore, but attached us
as grateful friends. This attachment may be
strengthened, and cultivated into a still more
intimate and durable commercial and social re
lation than has heretofore existed.
For the trade of the South Baltimore is most
admirably situated. Her direct European con
nections through her merchant marine, should
enable her to obtain importations as cheaply
and almost, if not quite, as expeditiously as
either of her more Northern rivals. Her nearer
proximity to the Southern markets, by both
water and rail, should enable her, by proper
organization and effort, to compete successful
ly, in time and rate, in the matter of freighting
and transportation to Southern points. En
joying a line of railway, extending almost due
west from Norfolk, dr Richmond, or from
Washington to Little Rock, Arkansas, with
subsidiary lines, intersecting and leading di
rectly into the heart of the great producing and
consuming regions of the South, it would be
difficult to assign a good reason, why Balti
more should not enter the list with the larger
but more remote cities, for a very large propor
tion of the spoils of this large commerce. She
is a great city, and it would unjust to assert a
lack of business intelligence, activity and enter
prise to place her in the struggle for a stake ol
such magnitude.
The presentation of the business of Baltimore
to the people of the South, and an earnest effort
on the part of her merchants by preseating the
right kind of goods, and at prices not above
those offered by her rivals—together with a
general system of cheap through transportation
over Southern railroads, would assuredly give
her the preference among the people of all sec
tions of the South. Already it is inquired
whether New York is not sufficiently large,
and whether it is not practicable to build up a
city and business at Norfolk’, which would re
lieve the former of a share of its commercial
imi-tlena. it wouu i.a w.ai, in view of these
facts, for Baltimore to conWterlier' present and
future interests in the premises.
St. Louis.— From Bradatreet’s St. Louis
Trade Circular, we extract the following table
of distances ol various pointe in the West from
St. Louis, which is twenty miles below the
mouth of the. Missouri, and 1100 above the con
fluence of the Missouri :

Iu its course ol 3,200 miles, the Mississippi
borders upon Missouri, 470 miles. Os the

Erection op a Monument Over General
Lee’s Daughter. —A correspondent of the Pe
tersburg Index gives a full account of the cer
emonies of the occasion of the erection of a
monument at Warren White Sulphur Springs,
Warren county, Virginia, on the Bth instant,
over the grave of Miss Annie C. Lee, who died
at that place, of typhoid fever, on the 20th of
October, 1862. She was buried in the private
graveyard of Win. D. Jones. The correspond
ent says: “This memorial is of light granite,
quarried in this county, and consists of base,
sub-base, obelisk, cap and urn, and inscribed
upon it is the following record : ”
On the front, which looks towards the West,
“Annie C. Lee, daughter of General Robert E.
Lee and Mary Custis Lee.”
The South side, “ Born at Arlington, June
18th, 1839, and died at the White Sulphur
Springs, Warren county, Virginia, October
20th, 1862.”
On the North side are the last lines of a fa
vorite hymn, which the young lady asked for
when dying:
“ Perfect and true are all Ilia ways.
Whom Heaven adores and Earth obeys.”
The East side does not, but I think should,
contain a statement of the fact that the citizens
of Warren erected it.
The services were opened by reading of the
Scriptures and prayer by Rev. Dr. Hodges, af
ter which Mr. James Barron Hope recited a
poem of two hundred and seventy-live lines.
As was to be expected from his reputation,
Mr. Hope gave us a beautiful and appropriate
production, which was well rendered. After
Mr. Crowder had placed the urn upon the mon
ment, and wreathed it in flowers, the benedic
tion was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Solomon,
and the crowd, perhaps a thousand, dispersed.
General R. E. himself was not present, but
General Custis and W. 11. F. Lee, and many
other distinguished gentlemen, were on the
ground.
Important to the Ladies. —According to
late Northern papers the revolution iu thrones,
empires, principalities and powers lias been
followed by a terrible revolution in crinoline
which will leave the tillers, the duplex elipties
and all other styles now in use out in the cold.
The new style is invisible—imperceptable—
trips up nobody. Paris is in agonies over it,
and it is supposed that the old lashioned crino
line manufacturers will commit suicide.
Good. —The New Orleans Crescent has been
shown, by Mr. Francis Bowrain, of that city, a
novel invention called “ The Mosquito Scarer.”
It is a liquid with an aromatic periume, which
is said to be peculiarly obnoxious to all insects,
particularly mosquitoes. The editor opened
the bottle and spilled a few drops on his desk,
and in a moment or two could see the mos
quitoes leaving in disgust, with their pocket
handkerchief at their noses. It is a great jn
‘ vention, most assuredly.

Weakness is indirectly the cause of all sickness; for if

which produce illness, of course they are powerless.—
Seek strength, therefore. Invigorate and regulate the
system. When the quicksilver ranges from 80 to 96 de

the weak are prostrated. It is at such a time that such

A New and Grand Epoch In Medicine I
Dk. Maggiel is the founder of a new Medical System 1
The quantitarians, whose vast internal doses enfeeble
the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give prece
dence to the man who restores health and appetite, with
from one to two of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with a box or so of his wonderful and
all healing Salve. These two great specifics of the Doctor
are fast superseding all the stereotyped nostrums of the
day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel’s Pills and Salve
have opened the eyes of the public to the inefficiency of
tho (so called) remedies of others, and upon which people
have so long blindly depended. Maggiel’s Pills are not
of the class that are swallowed by the dozen, and of
which every box full taken creates an absolute necesaity
for another. One or two of Maggiel’s Pills suffices to
place the bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
create an appetite, and render the spirits light and buoy
ant P There is no griping, and no reaction in the form of
constipation. If the liver is affected, its functions are
restored; and if the nervous system is feeble, it is invigo
rated. This last quality makes the medicines very desi
rable for the wants of delicate females. Ulcerous and
eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by the disen
fectant power of Maggiel’s Salve. In fact, it is here an
nounced that Maggiel's Bilious, Dyspeptic and Diarrhea
Pills cure where all others fail. While for Burns, Scalds,
Chilblains, Cuts and all abrasions of the skin, Maggiel’s
Salve is infallible.

central position, from the well known and universally
acknowledged refinement of its society, presents very
superior advantages as a place wherein to establish
such a School.
The house secured is large and airy; the rooms
commodious and well ventilated, and attached is a
largo ornamental garden, presenting a desirable place
for pleasant and healthful exercise.
There will be a French Governess In the family, of
established ability, with whom the young ladies will
be obliged always to converse in French. The pupils
will be under the constant supervision of experienced
and refined Teachers, and their moral and religious
training will be carefully attended to.
The Course of Study will embrace all the various
English Branches and Mathematics, necessary for a
thorough and accomplished education, and will also
include instruction in Vocal and Instrumental Music,
Drawing, Painting, and the Latin, German and French
Languages. Vocal Music will be a daily exercise in
the School.
As the number of Boarding Pupils is limited, pre
ference will be given those who apply to enter the
family for the Scholastic year.
Classes will be formed in French, Vocal and Instru

THE EUREKA LEG,
INVENTED BY
HARVEY L. BYRD, M. D.,
I_!ATE PROFESSOR in two of the Medical Col
leges of Georgia, and Surgeon in the late Confederate
Army. This Leg possesses advantages over all ethers
m use in the Ventilation which Its affords the stump,
•thereby preserving its health—a matter of the first im
portance to the wearer- and the lessening of friction in
walking, and thus enabling it to be worn with greater
ease and more continuously. The movements of its
joints approximate more nearly the natural ones, than
any other artificial Leg; and from the materials of
which they are formed, and the mode of their con
struction, they are more durable, and 1 ss likely to get
out of order, than any of the others now before the
puplic. For further Information, address

WEIGHT’S PATENT
Improved Iron. Screw,
FOR PACKING COTTON.
I HE attention of Cotton Planters is invited to the
claims of this invention, which in SIMPLICITY,
ECONOMY, DURABILITY and POWER, sur
passes any machine for haling cotton ever before pre
sented to the country. Its groat excellence in these
respects make it
THE BEST MACHINE
IPO IS PACKING COTTON
IN THE WOULD!
1. Its Simpi.icity.—lt is a new and improved appli
cation of the SCRKYV POWER ; just as simple in its
construction as the old fashioned wooden Screw, as
easily managed, and no more liable to get out of or
der. No ropes or pullies are used as in tho cotton
presses.
2. Its Economy.—lt has been demonstrated by ac
tual experiment to be CHEAPER than the wooden
Screw. The timbers used in its construction are much
smaller and fewer than those employed in tho old
Screw; tho levers being only sixteen feet long, and the
height of the whole irtune above the bed being only
ten feet. All these timbers can he procured on the
plantation, no matter how exhausted the forest. Any
ordinary wood workman can build the frame, and half
a dozen hands will put it up in a few hours.
a. Its Durability.—Tlie Screw and Nut are of
Iron and WILL LAST FOR YEARS WITHOUT
ANY APPRECIABLE WEAR. The whole machine
occupies so little space that it can he completely cov
ered at very small cost.
4. Its Power.-- With a lever only sixteen feet long,
ONE MULE is sufficient lor packing tho heaviest
Dales. Planters who have used it say that with two
mules cotton may be compressed on this machine for
shipment.
This Screw was invented just before tho opening of
the war, and lias consequently never been generally
introduced. Those who have used it and seen it used,
unanimously concur in the opinion that it is
Unriviillcd as a Cotioii Screw.
The following testimonials from some of the best
and most reputable planters in the country show the
estimate in which this Screw stands with those who
have tried it:
Wo have used and seen in operation foi the last live
years, WItIOHT’S IMPROVED COTTON IRON
SCREW, and feel no hesitation in pronouncing it the
very best Cotton Screw we have ever known. So
highly do we esteem it, that if practicable to obtain
one of them, wc would have no other. It is easily
built, simple in its construction, not liubie to get out
of order, packs well, witli great power and with great
facility. EDW’D T. SHEPARD,
