(Chronicle & Sentinel. SIMMY MORNING, JULY 11. District Convention-Fifth Congressional District. We suggest that a Convention, to be composed of as many delegates as each county is entitled to in the legislature, in cluding a Scnat'M - from each county, be held lbr this district in the city of Augusta on Saturday the 29th inst., to select dele gates to represent this district in the Phil adelphia Convention. We would like to hear the views of our country friends upon this subject. What says the country press to the proposition ? Delegates to the Union Convention. W e respectfully suggest to the people of Georgia the propriety of taking immediate action to secure a full representation of the State in the Philadelphia Convention. The time is too short to admit the call ing of a State Convention, hut we have ample time to hold Conventions in each Congressional District. Let this he done at once. The press in each District can agree upon and announce ’the time and place of the meeting, and the people in the different counties can send their best man to represent .them. Two Delegates from each district are to he chosen, and four from the State at large. In regard to the latter, we think that the people through the press of the State can gidicate four gentlemen who will give general satisfac tion. We suggest the names of Don. A. 11. Stephens, Hon. 11. V. Johnson, Hon. B. If. Ilill, and Hon. A. 11. Colquitt. What say our brethren of the press to the nomination of those gentlemen? Ceil. Wm. T. Wofford. We had the pleasure of mooting in our city a day or two since, (ion. Wm. T. Wof ford, late an officer in the glorious old army of Northern Virginia.

Til K NATIONAL UNION CONVENTION. Letter l | 'rom lion. It. 11. Hill. It affords us much pleasure to be able to lay before our readers the following able and manly letter from lion. B. 11. Ilill, one of Georgia’s most gifted and patriotic sons. It will be seen that he favors the proposed Convention, and desires that the State shall be represented in its coun cils. We invite the views of the other distin guished men of the State upon this ques tion. We deprecate anything like division in the South upon a measure of so much im portance, and beg leave to say in advance, that, although we are strongly in favor of Southern representation, yet if a majority of the people of the South, and especially of Georgia, should deem our representa tion at Phils iclphia, under the present aspect of affairs, unwise or impolitic, we are prepared to yield our own views in deference to the popular will: LaGranqe, (>a, July 4th, 1866. M{l Dear General: —I have received your kind let ter of June 30th, asking if I think the South ought »to be represented in the “Conservative Union Convention” called to assemble in Philadelphia in August. 1 shall leave on the return train, on a business visit to the North, and am com pelled to answer you briefly. I do think that every Southern State should take immediate steps to be repre sented in that Convention. Kvery man of every section who thinks that the Union as it was. with the Con stitution as it now is, can be restored and preserved, and who is aid in the work, should lose no tfflr induing his in fluence to t his movement. The Radical Republican party is unwill ing to save the country. All who hate the Constitution are in its ranks. In the name of the Union they destroyed the South only that, rid other opposition, they might also destroy the old Constisufion and make a new one. The unconciliating, uncompro mising extremists of both sections wore al ways the natural enemies of a Constitution founded in concert and administered in compromise. This theory has ever been the corner-stone of my politics. The war we have had was waged between these two extremes—each swallowing up, for the time, the conservatives of its section. The government proper was no party to the contest. I'he error of the South was in throwing the power of the government into the hands ot her sectional contestant. The North triumphed by using the govern ment. and now seeks, as it always intended, to destroy the governments The govern- incut must now spring out of the embrace of her original and most hitter foe, and struggle, lor its life—-the Constitution. It is to be a fierce contest. It will be easier to reconcile the South to the Union, than to reconcile the North to the Constitution. This movement at Philadelphia is to save the Constitution. Let every other issue stand adjourned until this one of salvation is decided. By a combination of all eon servative men, constitutional salvation may be possible. In no other way is it possible. The South sought to save the Constitu tion out of the Union. She failed. Let her now bring her diminished and shatter ed. but uuited and earnest counsels and en ergies to save the Constitution in the Union. Such l always thought was her duty and her safety. . . . The Union must remain. So it is set tled. Shall this Union be without the Constitution ? Shall it be with anew Con stitution formed by a section and founded in farce ? Shall it be bread to one section and stone to another section of the same nominal whole ? Shall the eagle protect with one wing and oppress with the other? I understand the Philadelphia movement is for a Union of Equals according to a Constitution made by all and administered by and for all, and, therefore, I approve it. These are my views ; and, though I con sider my days as a public man have been counted, you may lock them in your draw er. or throw them in the fire, or give them to the public, as you please. Very trulv. your friend, B. H. Hill. Gen’l A. 1L Wright. Augusta, Ga. In the year 1865 there were 21,026 dif ferent British registered vessels, exclusive of river steamers and colonial vessels, em ployed in the home and foreign trade of Great Britain. The tonnage was 5,408,- 451, and the number of men employed 197 643 Compared with 1864, this is an increase of 113 vessels, 199,083 tonnage, and 1,887 men. Gen. John A. Dix, is in Washington. It is stated that he will take the field for the Philadelphia Union Convention Monument, JOTTINGS FROM THE CAPITAL. The National Convention—lmportance of Prompt Action by the South—.A Counter Movement—Mere Mention. [fuom our own correspondent.] Washington. Monday; July 2. in the great halls of legisla tion, the signs of political strife are less palpable than hitherto, it would be a great mistake to infer therefrom that even a truce, much less a peace, exists between the two great parties which now divide the strength of the country. The truth is that the struggle between the supporters of the President and the friends of Congress is day by day growing more hitter and violent. The call for THE NATIONAL CONVENTION, which many of the Conservatives feared had been postponed too long, has turned out to be an admirable move on the part of the Administration. That the Convention will be a great success is no longer a mat ter of doubt. The Democratic masses of the North, whose numerical importance must not lie estimated from the feeble mi nority who i present them on the floors of Congress, have joined heartily in the pro ject, and a very considerable wing of the Conservative and Union-Joving Kepubli cans will act in unison with them. Let the South send her best and ablest men as del egates, and the country will liehold once more a truly national gathering of the States, such as has not been seen since the great rupture of the Charleston Conven tion in iB6O. The action of the Conven tion will tend to consolidate the President’s party and give it that compactness of or ganization and unity of ’purpose, the lack of which has hitherto been its greatest dis advantage. TACTICS OF TIIE RADICALS. The Radicals are perfectly well aware o*‘ the importance of the Philadelphia Con vention. They know that when the loyal delegates from every State in the Union meet in council and organize upon the great popular principles of the inviolability of the Constitution and the integrity of the Union, the reaction amongst the masses at the North will be immediate and beyond their control. Rut the unscrupulous poli ticians of the majority in Congress are de termined not to lose their party supremacy without a struggle. They will therefore leave no stone unturned to render the Con vention a failure. And, to accomplish this, they have determined, if they can, to in timidate the Southern people, so as to pre vent them from co-operating in the move ment. If they can succeed in making the South appear apathetic or indifferent on the snhject of the National Convention, and, at the same time secure, by force or fraud, or any other means, the ratifi cation of the Constitutional Amendment by a few of the Southern Legislatures, they will have carried their point. For in that case, they would contend that the people of the South are not in good faith desirous of renewing their former relations with the Union, as the President assumes ; and, furthermore, that of those at the South who really are loyal to the reconstructed union, a large proportion favor the policy of Congress, as opposed to that of the President. INTIMIDATION —A SPECIMEN. Perhaps I cannot better illustrate for your readers this newly adopted .Radical policy of intimidation of the South than by reproducing the following, which, un der the head of “Forewarned, Forearmed ; as conspicuously printed at the head of the editorial columns of Forney’s Chronicle , the mouthpiece of the President’s enemies here: “If the Southern people have not been sufficiently educated anu admonished by the failure of their attempt to destroy the Government, they will act upon Andrew Johnson’s suggestions and help him to force another revolution. llis purpose is now clearly developed. It is neither more nor less now than the defeat of the great article tor the amendment of the National Constitution, so that the men who began the rebellion and fought at a cost to the whole country of nearly .four billions of dollars, and over half a million of lives, may continue to exercise their former power in the coming elections. It remains to be seen Whether the people of the recent rebellious States are ready to assist in what must inevitably produce anotherwar. Forewarned is forearmed.” In case this expedient of bullying the South should fail, as it assuredly will, the Radicals have still another card to play, which they consider a high trump. That is, to issue a call for A COUNTER-CONVENTION. The project lias been carefully discussed in a general caucus of the bitterest Re publican Senates and Representatives, and is regarded with favor by a large ma jority of their most influential men. The details of the scheme are these : The Convention to meet in September, to make an-out-and-out Radical platform, and put General Grant at once m nomination for the Presidency, in the hope of being able to gain a popular endorsement of their obnoxious programme, upon the strength of the popularity and military prestige of their candidate. It is doubtful whether the idolized hero of the North will con sent t ♦allow himself thus to be used as a tool by the Congressional leaders; but the bait is a tempting one, and, if he should reject it, he would exhibit a degree of sincere patriotism and self denial which, in the-eyes of the Southern people, at least, would altogether eclipse liis military fame. A SCENE OF REVOLUTION. The President’s friends, in speaking of this proposed nomination of Grant by the Radicals, declare that there is a deeper meaning in the movement than appears ui>on its face. They denounce it openly as an attempt to carry the Fortieth Congress for the extremists on the personal strength of their nominee; then to keep out the ele ven unrepresented States from the next Congress and the next Electoral! College, unless they comply with the debasing terms proposed to them; and if an issue should arise between the votes cast in accordance with the Constitution and the vote as pre scribed In/ Congress. to have the sword drawn and the army ranged on the side of Con- against the constitutionally elected 1 'resident in 1868. For defeating this cun ning scheme of revolution, the President relies upon the Conservative masses of the whole country, as they are expected to be represented in the Philadelphia Convention. MERE MENTION. Asa significant “waif” in regard to the trial of Mr. Davis, I may mention that the Attorney General has engaged several enri rieft phonographic reporters, to report the proceedings of the trial in October next, when, we are told, it will certainly take place. The House and the Senate have at length compromised upon anew army bill, which will probably become a law. It fixes the standing army at forty-five infantry regi ments. live of which are to consist ot negro troops, and three of the class known -as 4 ‘ Veteran Reserves. The Freedman’s Bureau bill, which con tinues that “institution" in existence for three years longer, is on the point of being finally agreed to by both Houses. The ]’resident will veto it, probably; but, if he does, it will readily be passed over the veto. So also will the Tariff bill. Many antici pate that the President “will refuse to sign it. in which event. Congress is readyjto make it a law. by a two-thirds vote, with out his signature. Statistics just published by the United States Agricultural Bureau here show that the amount of eatton imported into Great Britain from the United States during the first four months of the present year, ex ceeds the aggregate importations of cotton from all other sources combined, du ring the same period. So readily does our Southern "King” resume his ascendency ia the commerce of the world. BITTERXET. Os the 5,081 patients in lunatic asylums in Scotland at the beginning of the present year, 292 had been there for more than 20 years, 63 for more than 30 years, and 12 for more than 40 years. One will next year complete half a century passed in a madhouse. A STORY FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS. Grandfather’s Picture. [Adapted from the German for The Methodist J There once stood beside the high gate which leads into the city of' Danzig, a small shop, where children’s tops were sold. It w£s kept by an old lady who supported her family by selling toys. She did not have a great many of them, for she did not have money enough to buy them. She had a few picture books, some little wooden horses and wagons that had lately been sent her from Nuremberg, and some little bows and arrows that she had bought from a peas ant. This had been the old lady’s home from childhood. Her bedroom and kitchep were back of the shop, and every part of the premises was as familiar to her as we can possibly imagine. She was marrietT when eighteen years of age; but only a tew years afterwards her husband died. Ever since then she had been compelled to support herself by selling toys. At the time of which I am now speaking, she seldom had a customer. Children who wanted toys went to larger and finer stores to buy them. Sometimes she had not money enough to buy a half loaf of bread, and had to wait in great anxiety until she could sell some little toy. One day an aged man stood by her shop door and asked her to tell him where he could find a certain street in the city, She told him as nearly as she could.* He then said : “I have not been in Danzig for forty years, though 1 was born here. llow changed is everything! I remember this very little shop where you are now, and I can call to mind the beautiful young lady whom I saw here, standing in the door when I left Danzig so long ago. Her face is distinct in memory now. ’ ’ The old toy woman smiled and replied : “Good man, that girl could have been no one else than myself, for I have lived in this house for fifty years. ’ ’ “Indeed,” replied the stranger, “I had for a moment forgotten that people can change as well as places. No wonder you look old now ; I look old myself, and so has everybody changed in such a long space of time. Can you tell me about Peter Braun, who formerly lived in Long-street ? Is he living or is he dead ? She replied: “I was not acquainted with him, though I have heard a great deal about him. He died in the hospital.” “In the hospital!” replied the aged stranger, “what a wonderful occurrence is that! I know he never expected such a thing. He was the son of Bernard Braun, who was always regarded as a very wealthy man.” “That may be all very true,” replied the woman who sold toys, “but he died very suddenly, though he had been sick several weeks, and had been taken to the hospital because he had not money enough to provide himself with the necessaries of life. His father died very much in debt, and Peter paid all his debts. He could have kept enough money to have placed himself in comfortable circumstances, but he would not do it, for it would be defraud ing liis father’s creditors out of their real duos. Peter Braun, the son who died, has left a son named John, who is now a sailor on a vessel that goes to the East Indies. ’ ’ As the aged stranger heard these words a cloud seemed to pass over his face. He was about to depart in haste, but turned round rapidly and said: “ Tell me where Peter Braun is buried. ’ ’ “In the Potter’s Field, back of St. Ma ry’s church,” replied the woman. The stranger seemed to have exjlketed this answer,” and liiseyes began toSvander round the walls of the shop. He beheld art old and faded oil painting which was nailed over the door that led into the hack part of the house. He went up closer to where the picture was, and said: “What will you take for that old picture?” • “ Oh,” said she in reply, “I suppose it is worth a couple of pennies. To come to the truth,” she said, “ I think it is actu ally worth nothing. But if you will give me a couple of pennies you may have it.” She then got a little broom and brushed the dust off. “ Now,” said she, “that is a picture ofa man that looks pious and friendly. If you are not willing to give me two pennies then I will take one.” The stranger laid down on her counter a Spanish silver dollar, and took the picture down himself. _ “ Ah! good man 1 ” she said, “I can not give you change for this great large piece of money, for this is the first thing I have sold for three days'” “Goodwoman,” he replied, “I don’t want any change. This picture is a treasure to me ; and though I have given you the last dollar I have in the world, I don’t feel dissatisfied with my bargain; for this pic ture is the likeness of my grandfather. It is a treasure for which I thank you. ’ ’ He hastened oft' without saying or hear ing any more. The toy woman was more frightened than rejoiced, for she could not understand that the man who seemed in good circumstances was really so poor that he had hut one dollar to give for an old faded picture. She feared that he would come back and take away the silver dollar that he had given her. By and by he did come back again. His face was flushed as if he had been drinking wine. He struck his fists powerfully upon her counter; and the toy woman thought that he would break all her little toys, and take away the dollar. But he was not an gry, though lie seemed to be so. He then said to her these words. “Good woman, do me the kindness to throw all your toys to the school children to-night as they come from school. Oh! here they come, now! Let me have the toys—l will pay you for them. ’ ’ The children were coming from school with their maps, and hooks, and slates, under their arms; and two or three 'stood before the toy shop window. The aged stranger took the toys one after another, and gave them to the children. They were the happiest little creatures I ever saw. After they had returned him thanks, and shouted aloud over their new gifts, the stranger then said to the woman: “That picture which you sold me has proved of great value to me. It contained what I have been seeking in many lands for forty years. I am the son of Peter Braun whom you said a little while ago was a sailor on a ship to the East Indies. The picture which I bought from you, and which is the likeness of my grandfather, Bernard Braun, contained very valuable papers. After I left your shop with it an hour ago. I accidentally struck it against an old pump, and the frame came apart, and the hoard ou the back broke in pieces. Between the board and the canvas there were several papers which fell down. Those papers are what I have long sought. They contain a record of a large sum of money wliich the city of Danzig owed my grandfather—money which he had loaned for improvements. They contained the only account of the debt. I have no doubt they are just what I think they are. for I have often heard my father say that his rather had loaned the city money which \\ as to be paid after the lapse of twenty years. But my father said that his father died very suddenly, and all traces of the papers were lost. Now they have come to light, and I shall get the whole sum, with all the interest that is due upon it. Four days after this conversation the aged stranger again came to the toy-wo man s shop. He gave her a sufficient sum ot money to buy a comfortable house in a pleasant part of the eitv. “For," said he, "you are the instrument of my recov ering mv grand-father's fortune.” He then said: “My next duty is to found a hospital for Danzig.” Two years passed by. and a splendid hospital was erected at his expense. Later, lie often said : “Mr father died in a hospital. What would' have become of him had there been no hospital? But it was a small institution, and the city needs the large one that I have given it.— How thankful I am that my father did not die alone by starvation! But there are many hungry and suffering people in this world. I hope all the children to whom I once gave some toys, and all the other children of Danzig, will do all in their power to make the world better and hap pier.” Latest News! BY TELEGRAPH. FilllJl BASHIXCIOX. Decision Under the Civil Rights Bill. Baltimore, July G. —Judge Bowie, Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals, ren dered an important decision under the Civil Rights bill. In the case of the Coiumon wealthagainst Summers, for beating a negro, it was contended by counsel that according to the laws of Maryland, a negro was not a com petent witness against whitemen. The Mag istrate decided said law to be null and void, having been abrogated and superceded by the Civil Rights Bill and required bail, which Summers refused to give, and was committed. Application was made to Judge Bowie for a writ of habeas corpus, which lie declined to grant, giving a writ ten opinion sustaining the magistrate. He admits there are doubts as to the con stitutionality of the Civil Rights bill on other points, yet not seeing clearly a breach of the Federal Constitution, on the par ticular point bearing on this case, follow ing the usage and decision of the highest courts, he was bound to assume that Congress had not \iolated its constitutional obligations, and passed an unconstitutional act. The prisoner was remanded to the custody of the officers. Restoration of Stolen Property—Congres sional.

REVIEW OF THE AUGUSTA MARKET, FOP. THE WEEK ENDING JULY 7TH, ISG6. COTTON —Our market has been unset tled and dull during almost the entire week, with very few sales. At the closo we find quotations almost nominal, and give 28«31 cents as extremes. REMARKS—Busip ess proceeds cautious ly under tho European agitation, and the fluctuation of the national currency. It is difficult to foresee what tiie ultimate effect of tlic Germanic struggle will be upon the business of tiiis country. That it has al ready been the partial cause of the convul sion which has shaken commercial circles abroad, and seriously effected them on this side, there can be no doubt; but it is not believed that any serious damage will re sult to any material interest of this coun try unless the war shall involve all the leading powess. Wo have been purchasers of the commodities of the powers at issue to a greater extent than they have of ours, and therefore the balance of exchanges has usually been against us, and as those com modities consisted largely of what may be termed luxuries, or articles which wo qan supply at home, we shall not be injured, but rather benefltted, by the interruption of trade with them. The insecurity of their commercial marine will divert tho carrying trade to outside nations, and the incorrigible Yankee will be sure to secure a large share of it for American bottoms. As war always unsettles credits, capital shuns the track of armies, and the danger that the contest may involve other Euro pean powers, will tend to increased invest ments in American securities. Tho agri cultural interests of the region penetrated by the contending armies will bo almost totally destroyed, and the demand for American breadstuff's greatly enhanced. Those resultant advantages, it is believ. od, will outweigh any injury resulting from loss of trade in other commodities, and wc shall find our interests rather beno litted than injured by the contest, should it be confined to the powers which have inaugurated tiie conflict. FINANCIAL— Tho views expressed above are confirmed in the fact that the New York gold market has remained steady under the news that war was inevitable. In this city, prices have continued to range from 150 to 155 during the week, and but little has changed hands. Rents have been adjusted at the above rates in greenbacks. At the close on yesterday buyers were paying 150 for gold, and selling at 153 J. Silver is dull, and is bought at 135 to 140 and sold at 145 to 150.

New- Wheat comes in slowly, and it is feared that the supply for market will be small. The demand for corn continues active, with free arrivals during the week, and prices exhibit a further advance. We quote prime white $1.65; prime yellow $1.60. Meal $1.65. Oats have advanced, and readily command $1 p bushel. Rye and Barley nominal. . FLOUR.—The supply of Western, with the low grades of which the market has been largely stocked all the season, is now running low, and prices for a good article from new wheat are high. There is still some Western Superfine in the market, of low grade, which can be bought, perhaps, below our quotations, to which we refer. COTTON GOODS.—The downward ten dency of cotton has imparted an easier tone to cotton goods, though we do not change our quotations. DRY GOODS.—Our market is well stock ed, for the season, and country merchants who wish to replenish their supplies will find our dealers ready to offer them every possible inducement. HATS.—The hat jtrade is’ resuming its old importance, several houses heirfj*- in the wholesale trade, one or two of which are on a scale quite as extensive as were known here before the war. HARDWARE—The old and well-known houses, who for more than a generation have enjoyed the confidence of the country, are still conducted with their proverbial enterprise and reliability, and country merchants and planters will find stocks full and prices at the lowest living standard. We refor to quotations on the next page. GROCERIES.—Prices have not kept pace with the fluctuations in the currency, and rates for groceries and provisions are relatively lower than in the leading mar kets. All the principal articles will lie found enumerated in our prices current. ARTIFICIAL M ANURES. —The season for turnip sowing Ls at hand, to which com mercial manures are especially adapted. Our market is well supplied, and the rates are about those of the manufacturers. See quotations. DRUGS AND MEDICINES—In no de partment of trade is more enterprise ex hibited than in this. Stocks are large, and the same experienoeu and reliable dealers who have controlled the trade for years, are still at their posts. The rates for’ lead ing articles are enumerated in our prices current. BOOTS AND SHOES.—Competition is active in this trade, and stocks are ample. Prices are ruling far below those of last season.
