The Con vt’u lion lately it'Scnib’pd at Chicago,
w u composed of ni'-n who earnestly desired
to bring ti.r- war, that for more* than three years
baa shaken this c.ntincnt,. to a close. They
wore not insen.-il-b; to the claimsof their coun
t.y. They desired to maintain its honor. They
saw nnd comprehended tire magnitude cf tlte
t.isk which they had Undertaken. A terrible
war was raying. A corrupt administration was
wielding the power ct the governm-nt in an
effort to conquer lire Staler, ‘hat hail withdrawn
from the ‘i hut govvruuioit was flu-ir

11 ig limited ovc r them. Jbe tti-k to be ace; rn
j fished was, to bring tire war to, a close by
means perfectly consistent with loyally V> their
tjoventnent. Tin y were utterly opposed to the
Hdfflinistratioa at Washington, and it was their
purpose >o prostrate that, while they upheld
the honor of tbo government, and maintained
their fidelity to the constitution. They wore
exposed to the charge of opposing the govern,
merit, because tliey denounced the administra
tion. They were represented as disloyal, be
t aline they condemned the war. And they were
-charged with aiding and abetting thcTchellion.
because they ed created measures whk.fi if
ttdopted would not only weaken the onus up
lilted to strike tbo South, but would hurl from
their place* the men who inaugurated the war. 11
req'tired courage to execute the tack wfiich they
had undertaken to accomplish. There are in
every free Suite, those who turn upon the per
eons of tiie n.'cn who rdmioistor the govern-
ment, and who 11 ,'c ready io aceufco all who Op
pose the administration, of disloyalty to the
country. Especially is this true when the
country is engaged in war. Imt there were
men of courage in that body which so lately
assembled at Ck'cago; men who "buhl despise
the aspersions of the creatuns ot power.; of
<the wretches, who iiopotent to se> e their coun
try, cringe at the feet of those who for i he time
are 1 bio to inward them. Those statesmen
comprehended the trim interest amt glory <d
ilicir ceuntry, 'i he)’ comprehended the tremen
dous issues involved in the present contest;
and they saw that nothing could save the coun
try from ruin utter, hopeless ruin—but a
speedy termination of the war.
Therefore they denounced the war. Tliey
denounced the administration, tiiat inaugura
ted and conducted it. And they proposed
ineaeuVea looking to a cetvaliou of hostilities,
treasures which would onco more bring peaco
to our now blooding and distracted land
The measures proposed by the convention
were statesmanlike, broad and philosophical.
Tliey were framed with reference to tho chav
actor of 1 he two governments conducting the war
It was well known that these two governments
actually possess no inherent powers ; that they
are clothed with certain functions to be em
ploye.! for tho bcuelit of the Stales tint con
ferred them. 'They comprehended that the peo
ple of the several States were the real parlies
to the contest. That neither of the govern
ments conducting tho war could settle n single
question invc.lved in it. That they could not
control the States by auy decision of their
own. That tliey could uot even fix (liebound
aries between iho United mid Confederate
States. That tho United States could uot stipu
late that Missouri, or Maryland, or Kentucky,
or any part of Virginia sliPnhl belong to the
one government or the other; for tlte simple
reason, that tho two contending governments
do not own one acre of the soil. Menards sit
down and negotiate ; or they empower the'r
uiulm.isadors to negotiate for them. They are
masters of the situation They tiny give or
take. A mountain range, a stream, or any
Sinagiue.ry line may lie fixed on at; the bounda
ry marking the limits ot the kingdom. Winn
-Napoleon, and the Emperor of Russia, arid the
King of Prussia wet -to confer ns te> the terms of
Cation, their armies lay encamped with
arms in their hands ; and the people who in
habited tho 80i eral countries about whith those
arbiters of fate carried on discussions gov
creed by policy or ambition, were perfectly »i
leut. The sovereigns agreed upon their own
terms. Tlte boundaries of Prance might he
enlarged to-morrow by an agreement between
Louis Napoleon and the .Kiug of Prussia, that
the Rhine should iienceforth mark tho limits
between the tv.o realms.
Hut tbo case is widely different when we
cotno to consul -r tbo authority of the two gov
ernment!, at this lirno conducting tho war up
on this continent. Their powers are not com
mensurate with tbo vast and various inter.
involved in tho contest, torch a contest was not
contemplated by those who trained the Consti
tutions of the two governments. No satisfac
tory or permanent adjustment of tho great
quarrel can ever bo effected by them. It will
be found to lie true whenever it is attempted
it will bo remembered by statesmen tie
quota ted with the history of the country, ghat
when the subject of the North Eastern boundary
came to I*3 settled between England and tho
United States, i ommissiouers representing the
JSUte of Maine took part in the negotiations.—
It was esscuti.il that they should do so ; the
Integrity of the State was involved in the dis
cussion ; or part of its territory was the subject
of the treaty about to l>3 concluded between
lhe two governments. That Webster and Lord
Ashburton might have understood each other :
and the result of their negotiations might have
been acceptable to their respective govern
ments ; but nothing could be binding ’until the
Etatect Maine bad uttered its decision in regard
to the subject.
There are other questions too besides tli.•
question of boundaries, that must K- settled,
questions which will affect the structure of the
two government:. The subject, is one of vast
magnitude. The questions to he disposed ot'
will require the profonodast study ; and they j
will demand the wisest statesmanship to edl
just them njxm terms acceptable to the people
<u' the several States. The great future is open
ing befoto it*. So far as human foresight caudo
no,the interests of tTiat future are lobe presided
for. Insiitution-s admirably suited to States
associated under a common government, may
l>e very feeble for the protection of rights,
■when rival States are to be ranged side by
side, to f'cek for cnqiire aud power in the wide
expanding cycles of the boundless future. We
do not hesitate to e&y, that great structural
changes must be made in the two governments
flat embraced States exhibiting conflicting -
! systems of industry, and civilization. The gov.
’ eminent of the United States waa fitted for the
geographical position where it was reared
We do uot for a moment believe that such a
government can exist side by side with a rival
government, separated from it only by on
ideal bonn^cry.
When tho present war ia brought to a termi
nation, a perfect adjustment of all the ques
tions a:T cling tho rights and the interests of
the people or the several States, must be mode .
The complex and momentous subjects to be
disposed of will require thorough discussion,
and they must l»! &ott!e i to the sitisfaction of
trio people who in the order of Providence are
to dwell Hide by side upon this continent. Tho
•vbv roust end. It is utterly unsuited to the a-,
eomplishmer.t of the object which it seeks to
attain. On the part of the North, it is a mon
strous crime committed against Christianity,
cjv’dimtion, humanity, and freedom. It is a
stupendous anachronism. It daikeus the nine
teenth century. It throws a deeper shadow
th iu uny eclipse over the advancing for.]
t rue? es the human race." it wraps this con-'
fluent in smoke from Stygian abysses. Nations
accustomed to war in its ordinary phase, are
appalled at this War. It must be class. On our
part Jt is purely a defensive war. We cannot
1 u it. We van o aly resist. We can only ex
hibit heroism. We cau only endure. But the
seutlineul of the better class at the North be
gins to exhibit signs of vigor. The most hope
ful of all these sign? was the Convention at
Ch'cago. it was the first star emerging from a
storm swept sky, cheering in itself, and pro
mbing the return of heavenly radiance-. Wo
must meet the action of that body ia the right
spirit We must incites! a disposition to sub
mit the great questions involved in the war, to
the forum indicated by them.
it is beyond all question the only true coarse
A Coovenlion of delegates representing the
people of all the States, will be aide to discuss
nil the questions affecting .their present and
their future, as no other body can discuss them.
They will understand each other. The result
of (heir deliberations will be referred to the
people of the several States and t‘'e State Coa
volitions will ultimately settle the momentous
questions which allect them. Why entrust to
others, the mmagemant of questions which af
fect tae States'.’ The ordinary subjects of dis
agremeul between governments may be ad
justed nud disposed of by commissioners
representing the respective governments But
this it no ordinary war. The questions involed
iu it are uo ordinary questions. They can find
ft satisfactory solution only when submitted to
ft Convention composed of representatives of the
real parties to the contest. Tbit is the Jorum.
That is lhe inode. In that direction the light
of hope gilds the horizon.
Os the objections to this mode of settlement
which occur to some who have written on the
subject, we may say something hereafter.
Tint CLOeitS OP THE CAMPAIGN. .
Tills year's campaign draws rapidly to a close
Soon its iast gun will !>e fired, and its last bat
tle fought. In a lew weeks stern winter will
lay his benumbing hand upon the armies of
both belligerents, and hid them cease for a sea
son the work of human butchery. Brief is the
time which remains sor t the completion of the
Herculean task of subjugating a great and gal
lant people battling for liberty and indepen
dence.
Is there the slightest chance, the remotest pro
bability, the faintest hope that Lincoln will Ue
aide to consummate this year the gigantic chemg
of conquest which lie has wickedly and madly
undertaken to carry out ? 1 here is not. It is
not written ia the book of fate, it is not iu the
decrees oi.l’rovideuce that the year 1801 shall
witness the extinguishment of the liberties and
nationality of a people who have demonstrat
ed their c apacity for self government and their
right to independence by four years of unsur
passed valor, and unequalled resistance to ty
ranny.
J t was Ilia boast of the vainglorious Grant
that in a single campaign he would annihilate
Ilia Southern armies and crush the rebellion.—
This was hfe promise to Lincoln when he nfi
ebu took the campaign. To enable him to ful'
fill it. he was clothed with plenary powers. To
accomplish it, he concentrated the forces North,
he massed them in two great armies, hoping
by the indie weight rjpd momentum of aggre
g ited arid overwhelming brute force to over
come the stubborn resistance of the South.—
The experiment has been conducted oft a scale
of gigantic preparation, in which tho utmost
resources of the North have been brought to
boar, and vff.th a reckless waste of human life,
unexampled in the history of war. put thus
fir ttie scheme has proved a stupendous fail
ure. The Washington despot is farther from the
accomplishment of his object than ever.—
The close of ilie campaign witnesses the South;
era armies inoie powerful and defiant than [at its
commencement, and the Southern people more
united and determined, if possible, than at ahy
former period since the beginning of the wa r '
And yet iho infatuated North and her besot
ted tyrant dreams ot completing the conquest
of the South within the short remnant of the
year which Is left to them to accomplish their
insane purpose. Elated, putted up beyond
measure by two indecisive triumphs amidst a
dozen disastrous defeats, they vainly imagine
that they will be able to accomplish in a few
weeks what tliey have failed to achieve in four
years of gigan tic aod unsuccessful war. This
ii the wildest delusion that ever haunted a
madman's brain. None but a people bliuded
by inordinate vanity Air'd bloated with extrava
gant self conceit, could possibly ontertain it for
a m mieut.
Why, this (rautic and infatuated people have
scarcely begun to accomplish the Herculean
task they have undertaken. Instead of nar
rowing the limits of the rebellion by this year's
operations, they have been extended. They
have a larger field to subdue than they had at
the commencement of the campaign. Arkan
sas and Western Louisiana, have been wrested
from them, and have to be reconquered. The
rebellion has broken out a fresh in Missouri
and the invincible and uuconqnerable Price dis
putes its possession with ltosecrans and his
l'atch militia. Our army at this moment re-.
oc<. upies NOl tbern Georgia after being llanked
eut of it by Sherman, and threatens to expe k
the Federate from Atlanta with a fair pros pec
of success. Richmond is not taken, nor likely
to be taken. The gallant and glorious nrmy of
Virginia, inspired by its great leader with un
j yielding valor and stubbomess, still confront*
Grant with unbroken ranks and defiant scorn,
, and without the slightest idea of defeat,
i How preposterous til? a the idea that with all
j these multiplying »nJ insuperable obstacles in
t heir way, the Yankees will be able this year
to complete their job! Two years,—nay! ten of
than, let alone two months, would not suffice
for the accomplishment of such a task. It is
i impracticable and impossille, and the popula
-1 lion of the North will in the end find lliem
. selves the worst disappointed people that ever
; cherished the wicked design of trampling upon
| the rights and liberties of their neighbors,
A BSEft'TKEtS-M.
The 1 resident, in hU Macon speech, made
the astounding announcement that two thirds
of cur annv are sbsent, aod one third without
lenvo. ihe latter part of this stateimqit is
almost incredible. One third of our sol
diers recreant t-o duty, and their country’s
cause I The thought is appalling t 0 the .pa
triot's heart.
\v e cannot suppose that all, or even a large
portion of'theso stie.gglers are skuikiag within
our lines. tVere it true, the President, him
seif, wou.d be highly censurable for permitting
them thus to abandon their countxy'p fljg with
impunity. Doubtless many who fail to an
swer to the roll call, have been lost in battle or
on the march, their fate unknown—tilling, it
may l>e solitary and unknown graves, slee ling
their last and dreamless sleep,, never more to
start at the sound of the rev*;a!le ; never again
to mingle in the carueval of death. Many
more may have lagged behind as our armies
have retreated, loth to bid, as they supposed,
a last adiue to home and family. And many
more we know have deserted to the enerrrv, re
creant to country and to the sabred obligations
of patriotism.
But making due allowance for all these
lasses, there are doubtless many who are lurk
ing urn lines, loitering at their homes,
having overstayed their furloughs. There is evi
dently some great defect in the military
policy of the army, some great lack of vigilance
and energy in some quarter. It is the Presi
dent’s business, as Commander-in-Chief of the
army, to see to this. It is his duty to have this
monstrous evil corrected.
It strikes us as anomalous, that the Presi
dent should in a public speech complain of this
vast derelictio 1 of duty, ru the part of the
Confederate soldiers, and call upon the people
to correct it, when the remedy is in his own
hands. It is undoubtedly the duty of every
man and every woman to use all their influence
in returning delinquents to tae army ; hut it is
only the strong arm of military authority that
can compel them to return, A more vigorous
exertion of that authority, is what is required.
Bayonets must cure and prevent this whole
sale trifling with military duty.
It may bs said that th« forces can not be
sjiared from our already depleted armies, to
hunt up and arrest this host of stragglers and
deserters, scattered all over the Confederacy.—
But Congress has placed at the disposal of the
President in each Btase a large force of re
serves, which he could employ in ridding the
country of this scandal and disgrace. It can
not be laid, therefore, that the President has
not the power to correct the evil of which he
complains. Tho responsibility of its contin
uance must rest upon him. The country looks
to him to enforce the discipline of the army, of
which he by the Constitution is Commamler-in-
Chief.
It is a grey ions injustice to the bravo men
who are true to their.duty, who remain at their
posts with unfliuching valor arid fidelity bat
tling for the Independence of tneir country,
that this aiiny of skulkers should be permitted
to go at large defying the authority of the na.
tiou. It is a reproach to the government that
permits it. If there be power in the country
to bring these men back to their duty, it should
be promptly ami energetically exerted.
The very statement of the President of the
vast extent of tho delinquency, unavoidably
creates the painful impression that there has
been, on (depart a want of diligence in pre
venting it.
In behalf of our itruggling armies which so
much need all the men who can bo obtained,
we have the right to call upon the President to
use the force at his command to hunt up tho
filraggleis who are infesting so many portions
of the country. Our imperilled liberties and
uationul existence, call for immediate correc
tion of an evil which if suffered to progress
would d'shan i our armies, and leave us a
helpless prey to the invader.
Thr Yellow Fever is Charleston .— Some
people gay we weie too severe upon Charles
ton officials, when speaking about the yellow
fever in that place a few days since. For our
own part, \ve dp not think we wera hqlf se
vere enough. “Infamous' 1 is altogether too
mild a word to use iu relation to parties who
pursue a couise calculated to unnecessarily en
danger the lives of thousands—yes, of tens of
thousands; “infernal’’ would have been much
more appropriate. The duty of the Charleston
officials, as soon as the yellow fever made its ap
pearance in tiiat place, was to have given notice
of the fact; aud also to have taken steps to pre
vent strangers from coming to the city until the
danger was past. As matters now stand they
have shown the most gross carelessness and
criminal indifference, and deserve to be cen
sured in a way that cannot be misunderstood
Annexed is an extract from a letter written
by an ol 1 resident of Charleston to a gentl e
man io this city, jt shows that we Have
not said too much about the health of the
former place :
The yellow fever i* master of the situation

njeut of quarantine laws. I Gave no means of
nsceitaining the precise number of cases, but
there are a great many sick and the disease js
malignant and fatal. There lias been a large
number of deaths—especially among the chil
dren, of whom a greater number are attacked
this season than during previous epidemics.
pov. Brown, of Georgia, ever since the war
began has been fighting the Administration.—
Macon Confederate.
Ever since ti e war commenced Gov. Brown
has been lighting for the rights of the States
and the liberty of the citizen. The history of the
past proves this. It is not necessary for us
to produce any evident to sustain this posi
tion. *
Now this war was started to defend and vin
dicate the very principles which (he Executive
of Georgia has bent every nerve to preserve
from the aggressions of foes without and foes
within. And if the above statement ot a Geor
gia administration paper is correct, it certainly
puts the Administration on a very bad plat
form. Our contemporaries in their i Itorts to
defend their patrons should be careful uot to
place them in an unenviable light before the
public.

Ki.ViSCIAb THIHJ.S AT 'ill!; WRKI’.
The Chicago ami Ciricinuati papera of Thurs
day Oct •! th, report the grand crash to have
commenced in those cities. In Chicago, as
soon as the banks opened, a run was com
menced upon thorn, and a seme of iho wildest
confusson ensued. Tho Chicago Tribune says:
An effort was made by several institutions
to seii Eastern exchange, and it was freely of
fered on the streefcat tw o per cent, discount;
but even at this discount, little or none could
be disposed of, and it is doubtful ifmuch could
have been sold at even rive pm cent, discount
this is a r-.atore in money panics altogether un
paral’fried hi the West. Never Ixribre was it
found to be impossible to sell exchange on New
York at a reasonable rate.
Another singular feature of this monevSpanic
is the fact that hitherto the main difficulty has
been with the cunencv; and the effort made by
the public was to get rid of it. N’ow it is the
very opposite— the great rush i a io .. e t the cur
rency. Every uccess. n the tvl |; tr ngihens lhe
faith of the people in greenbacks
'(here was a large attendance on ’Change
on Monday, but, owing to the continuation ol
the panic iu monetary affairs, very little bus
iness was transacted. There was‘a strong ef
fort on the part of the holders, through trok
eiv. to realize; but as all checks were refused
and currency very scarce, the transactions in
produce were of a trifling character. Those of
our shippers and grain dealers who hail orders
to huy, ami who had large balances in bank,
very generously refused to cheek them out’
an t telegraphed-their corierpoirteats that in
the present state of affairs they could not fill
their orders. As for the speculators, they were
entirely out of the market. Not a dollar could
be had at any of the discount houses, and even
the “slient-per-ehent” gentlemen, who gener
ally reap a rich harvest in times like these
wore complete)y run out. They had no money’
and their checks were not worth mere than
the paper which they were written on to buy
provisions with to-day. J
Taking it altogether, it was the most re
markiiic seen in the commercial his
tory of our cily. Iu no previous panic has
money been so scarce that it could not be had
at some price; but to day neither hankers nor
moist-y brokers and “shavers’ ’ had a dollar to
lend. Eastern exchange was offered a large
discount. United States Übnds Illinois bonds
ali were offered at a heavy discount for “green
backs,” but all to no purpose. Os course, in
such a state of oftairs, the markets were al
most completely at a stand still, and the quo
tat ions named can scarcely lie slid to give a
fair criterion ot values.
1 io Cincinnati Times savs:
Speculation fur the present is crust red, ,»nd
the business has been reduced to the very low
est legitimate-standard. In this stato of affairs
the mercantile demand for money is compara
tively ligat, of course; tout stilt, as renrarked,
there is, owing to the extreme caution of lend
ers, an excess of demand. Capitalists find in
Government securities ample and profitable
employment for their means, and these invest
ments they prefer to business paper—first, be
cause they are deemed safest; and second, be
cause they can be quickly converted into green
backs.
We are now in a commercial crisis, resulting
from the leveling process, caused by the de
cline in gold ; and if the latter should prove
permanent, as we believe it will, business-must
be adjusted to tire new standard. This will
wipe outoi portion ot profits previously acquir
ed ; but it will break only those who have ex
panded too largely upon margins. When the
storm bio-vs over, as it soon will, few prudent
men- will be found among the wreck. Os the
reckless speculators in goid, sterling, stocks
and produce that may tall, all we |i-, ve t > say
is, that it would be well if the whole tribe
should bo wiped out and utterly crushed.
Government Deim's to i;e Settled ey Cer
tificates of i.NDEnrEDNErs.— As tliq debts
against the aggre
gate, and long since due, ia to
many persons, much anxiety exjßT as to the
manner and time of settlement. We now have
it in our power to give the desired information,
from the Montgomery Appeal:
A semi-official statement explains that these
certificates can only he used in the payment
of debts contracted since the passage of the
Currency Act of February 17, 1804, and they
bear six per cent, per unu®n interest, payable
semi- annually, and are by the Act exempted
from taxation either iu principle or interest.
these certificates are trunsterable hy endorse
»ment, and cau be used iu payment of indebt
edness between individuals.with this advantage
over treasury notes: They bear Interest and
are exempt from taxation.
These two causes should give them a premi
um over the treasury notes, as the latter may
be again, as heretofore, heavily taxed. The
certificate is constantly accumulating in in
terest, whether intended as a permanent invest
ment, or to be temporally held, to discharge
larger obligations- With these certificates ia
posession to pay an interest bearing debt, to
mature hereafter, the interest of one accumu
lates as does the other. Not so with the treas
ury notes; they are unproductive capital as re
tained without use.
The difference between the Treasury notes
and the certificates Is that each are payable to
the holder two years after a ratification of a
treaty ol peace, the-certifica!e bearing six per
cent, per annum interest, the Treasury notes
bearing nc interest. These certificates with
these advantages over currency will be sought
after by capitalists at homcj and abuoad, «* a
permanent investment, i.o;- will lii-y have the
same tendency.ludepreciate as Treasury notes,
the interest being payable in currency in cir
culating on at ihe i.-ne it matures, As long as
creditors lipids his certified accounts
praisement for property taken by the Oovern
rnent he loses the interest, and it is better tor
tlje creditor to liquidate his claim as soon as
the Government presents the opportunity.
The Cunencv Bill leaves it discretionary
rvith the creditor either to accept tho certifi
cate or indebtedness or to.reject it.
ft is the inference tiiat thesis certificates will
be issued in hundreds, and its multiple.up to
thousands, but not in fractional parts of hun
dred!- will bo paid in currency.

Reconstruction. —This has grown to be the
watchword among demagogues. It is used to
impart an obnoxious odor to all movements
toward securing a peace. Let conservative
men be on the alert, and suffer no dust to lie

Ms. Boyce's Letter.—This somewhat singu
lar document cannot fail to arrest 'the atten
tion of the reader. And yet why should it be
thought singular that a man of Mr. Boyce’s
learning and high official position, should have
the boldness to state on paper, and over his
own proper signatures great truths which must
have already occured to every man of intelli
gence and calm reflection? Why'shonld we open
our eyes and stare in blank astonishment, be
cause wu find a man who can give expression
to thoughts common to us all, and who lias
the independence to advocate a measure of pub
lic policy which cur common sense suggests as
both wise and expedient .' The readers of this
journal will recognise no new doctrine in the
able expose of the political “situation” con
tained iu this letter. Nearly twelve mouths
ago—long perhaps before the public mind was
prepared for it-—we endeavored to point out
the nature of tiie issue, aud tbo only practical
method of settlement. Our position was great
ly miaundeif food hy some, and (shamefully
misrepresented by others; but we accomplished
tiie object contemplated, and cau weil afford
to forgive the past and look to the future.
There is but one mode of settlement left to us
whereby we may secure a permanent peace,
and perpetuate those inestimable tights of man
so dear to the American peonle. We should bo
calm and dispassionate, determined yet ration
al; and endeavor to profit by tbo severe t.\
perience of these unfortunate republics ia oth

Our Wounded ox the Richmond and Peters

tained by General Lee s army in the lighting
on the Sines defending Richmond and Peters

has been a m liter of some surprise and
gratifying comm-nt. The following exhibit,

is a remarkably small per eentage,
Several hundred of the more severely woun
ded on tho Petersburg lines are yot cared lor in

bly bring our wounded up to iiiteeu hundred
in the engagements from the 28th ultimo up to
the 7th instant. It is a maxim that “figures
won’t lie” unless tampered with, and therefore,
according to the published reports of his own
surgeons Grant has lost five men wounded to
our one, with an average proportion killed,
which is about one to five wounded, to say
nothing of fho three or four thousand prison
ers fie has lost iu the same engagements.
A Home for Refuoeis.—Vv’o loam through
Gen. Ira R. Foster, of this Slate, and Mayor
Collins of this city, that they have succeeded
in procuring comfortable quarters tor all tiio -e
who have been made destitute by tie wav, at
Dawson, Terrell county, in this State. Every
arrangement necessary to the well being cf the
unfortunate, has been perfected a* that point,
and it only remains for such as have riot al
ready availed themselves of tho benevolent ar
ragement, to come forward and report them
selves to Mayor Collins, of this city, who will
provide them with transportation to this point
The State of Georgia is amply able to provide
for har homeless citizens, and from our knowl
edge of the geutlemeu in charge of this enter
prise, wc assure them that no means necessary
to llieir comfort and happiness will be with
held. No sense of false pride should induce any
one tu deny themselves the blessings of such a
well ordained iiirangemetft. Tiie State pro
pones to furnish every needed comfort, as well
as the me»is of industry, and the institution
wilnifi made to conform strictly to a high
sense of morality and religion iu every respect.
The winter js fast approaching, and will lie im
possible make provision for the destitute whilst
they are scattered over the country, in audition
to whk-Wthe means contributed to their relief
in this city, as well as in other will be
expended enjointly with that of tho State at
the above named. —Macon Telegraph.
Convention ok the States,— We d-- not feel
in the humor to write long editorials. This
1b not the time for words. It is idle to
speak to the whirlwind. What we need ut
present is military success. That will come
ere long. Lei the slorin rage; it will spend its
fury in due time and then men will begin to
reason. We only desire ia this brief paragraph
to put on record the prediction (which we have
perhaps made before ) that when peace does
come, it will not through Mr. Lincoln, nor by
the sword, nor by negotiations between the two
Federal Republics; but through a convention
of all tlie States. A change of rulers at the
North will bring a change of policy. Stale
Rights, State Sovereignty, will -become the
basis of settlement. A general convocation of
States in council would be the highest acifliowl
edgeraent of State Rights. Each State'must be
allowed to decide, through tire ballot box,
what relations she will sustain to the Noil',ern
or Southern Confederacy. This is the ‘only
rational mode of settlement, and it will ulti
mately come' to this. And why should wo'
seek to defer it? Are not our people “sound"
on the question of independence? Can we not
trust them? Then why object to a armistice and
a convention, such as will be prepared by the
party represented by MeCleilan and Pendleton.
