Dangerous Counterfeit.
The late counterfeit S.'/t greenbacks is
considered by the Tr< usury Department
as one of the*best ever issued. The tig
nres on the faces of the notes are not so
distinct as those of genuine issue, anti the
iirfitations of the lathe-work will not bear ,
elose scrutiny. The-ignatures ofthe Reg
ister and Treasurer are nearly perfect, and
the seal of tic- Trea ury, printed in red

a conterfeit note. The detectives have
succeeded in securing nearly f40,000, and

i>r. Klihti Tohtnd, formerly of Edgefield
District, was lately indicted, in Cad-den,
Merida, tor bigamy. He plead guilty,
and was fined one thousand dollars and
costs. His first wife was an amiable and
interesting lady—daughter of Johnson
Lowry, Esq., and sister-in-law of li. L.
Centrv, I. q., of Hamburg, at whose in
stance 'Poland was prosecuted. He had
married a wealthy young ladv of Quincy,
during liis sojourn there u« surgeon. His
lawful wife is hiking steps to get a divorce.
In bis confession, he declared certain
statements that he bad made derogatory
to (lie character of his lawful wife, to he
entirely unfounded, and 'stated that
slie- hud always been faithful to him. He
further declared that what ho miglit have
said against tier was done while iie was
under the influence of liquor.
Arc the Dug Days Overt
During the reign of the dog star—that is
during the time when the rising of Sirius
nearly corresponds to the rising ofthe sun,
we lmve been taught to look for blazing
hot weather. Wo were under the impression
that tile heated term ended about the 11th
of August. We have waited anxiously for
the advent of the blissful period when the
malignant influence ascribed by astrolo
g<Ts to this planetary contiguity, should
cease. The 11(h was hot- the 12th was Dot— 1
ter—tlie l.'ith was hotter still—and yester
day, but for the intervention of a friendly 1
cloud in tlie afternoon, would have fully,
sustained the reputation of the balance of
the week for caloric radicalism. We were
losing faith in tin* dog-star,and had almost
become settled in our mind that the Mil- ,
lorite, who predicted tliat it would contin- |
no to get hotter and hotter until erea- i
tion went to eternal smash, was cor- i
reel; lmt on referring to the almanac
makers, we find tliat they differ- Like doc
tors—and some of them make the helical |
(no profanity intended) rising ofthe dog
star, from the 3d of July to the 11th of Au
gust, while others give it from July 21th to
August 2 It it. Tito little “purp” started early
enough this year to have quit on the 11th,
lmt as it seems determined to suit all the
alumnae makers, by running until the
i!4tli, wo advise everybody to buy a sala
mander safe, and keep as cool as possible.
Tlie Miss Sedgwick’s School.
We take pleasure in calling attention to
the card ofthe Misses Sedgwick, who lmve
taken the elegant mansion of tlie late Mr.
Chew, where they M ill open a Boarding
School of a high order. They have en
gaged u corps of first class teachers - the
best that could be found in tho country—
ladies of refinement and culture, and it is
tliolr determination lo make It the best
school In the South. Their English teacher
is a lady from South Carolina, a native of
Columbia, where she was educated and
taught several years with success. Miss
Wobcr will havo charge of the Musical
department, and Miss Campbell will give
instructions in Drawing and l’ninting.—
Until these ladies are well known in Au
gusta ns competent teachers. The French
teacher is a native of • lonova, in Switzer
land, hut was educated in l’nris. No extra
charge will lie made for French lessons.
Tins general supervision of tlie Boarding
and Scholastic department will bo dis
charged by till* Principals, who taught in
Ihe city with success for several years.
This school will supply a want long felt in
this community—anil especially desirable
now, when few feel able to send their
daughters abroad -and wo sincerel\
hope that tlio enterprise of its accom
plished projectors will be rewarded with u
liberal patronage.
City Debt—City Progress.
A writer in the Qjn.stUutwnali.-it says that
tli(> Held ofthu city is now #1,118,000, while
the assessed value ot real estate is fl\e mil
lions and sixty thousand dollars 0(10,000)
The debt, therefore, is more than do per '
cent, of the assessed value of the real os- j
late, and larger in proportion than the na- j
tional debt of the United States.
This viewofonr tinanees shows certain
ty the importance of a wise and prudent I
administration of the affairs of the city. It 1
does not follow, however, that, because we j
are iu debt, all public improvements should
cease. On the contrary -everything that is
practicable should be done to enhance the j
suluoof real estate, and increase the pop
ulation, thereby increasing the revenues ot
the oily. The street railroad would do j
more, perhaps, than anything else to in- l
crease our population. Its construction j
would employ several hundred laborers j
during the balance of the year, and a largo [
force of regular employees. It would draw
thousands to our suburbs, who would Is
contributors in every form to all the inter
ests of the city. It would relax the grip ot
the landlords, who are throttling the very
life of the community by exorbitant and
unreasonable rents. It would infuse new
life and hope into every interest of the
town. As its construction would not cost the i
city a dollar, it would seem w ise to grant i
it such provisions as to encourage, and not
retard its early completion. The enclo
sure of the central avenues of Greene and
Upper and 1 sever llrotd streets, would
require an outlay of a few thousand dol
lars. Is it not apparent that the enhanced
value of taxable pro|H-rty on those streets
alone, would much more than pay the in
terest on the expenditure ?
The construction of a levee around the
ey isti another enterprise, now creating
general interest. This last is a work of
such magnitude, that the authorities may
w 'll wait for some expression of public
opinion in reference to it. We do not
doubt that it would return to the city many
fold, in the immediate enhancement of
the value of real estate, and the guarantee
it would afford of exemption from sickness
as well as loss of property.
We do not urge the immediate construc
tion of this w ork; nor indeed would we
counsel haste in any measure requiring i
any material outlay. Uut as anew Mayor
is about to be chosen, we deem it impor
tant that one be selected from the pro
gressive class of our citizens, who will
give all jKissible encouragement to a w ise
and liberal spirit of improvement. Wo
suggest that the views of candidates for
the Mayoralty ho well-ascertained in
reference to the three' projects named :
and as the tax payers of the city
are entitled to a voice in the
disposition of the public funds, we
suggest, also, that a meeting be held to
take action on the great question of public
improvements in the city. That meeting
w ill afford to the guardians of the treasury
an index tothc wishes of the people: and
might, if deemed advisable, order that a
vote lx- taken on the question of the im
provements named.
In our judgment, the present season con
story of A g ista.
The large numbers who are locating, or
seeking locations here, indicate the favor
able estimate in which our city is h‘ '
abroad. If homes could be secured at rates
at all in keeping with the incomes ol Un
people, we do not doubt that our popula
tion would double iu less than five years.
If remorseless avarice is to guard every
vacant lot, and extort the last farthing
from every tenant, then wo may as well
w rite “finished” on the outposts, and re
lapse into the hopeless lethargy of “Sleepy
Hollow.” .

Philadelphia. August 14. fi a. in.—
The Convention has not yet been organ
ized, hut everything is working har
moniously and the Convention promises to
be a complete succe- —all the delegates
s- in to be actuate-! by a sincere desire to
harmoiibc any conflicting ideas or opinions
and to sacrifice all personal feelings or
prejudices to the y acral good \ allan
digham, of Ohio, and Wood, of N -wiyirk.
in letter- this morning, decline being dele
gates. and this action on their part will, itis
thought, promote harmony. Every one is
iri good spirits and ch-.-erfuliy looking for
ward to the accomplishment of great
good by the action of the Convention.
No permanent President has selected as
yet. Winthrop. of Massachusetts, had
ken selected as the permanent presiding
officer, but owing to other enga - intents,
he cannot be present.
Doolittle, of Wi- on.-iu, appears to be
the favorite, and will probably be elected
President. llal.
PHILADELPHIA, August 14, 3 P. M. —
Judge Lyon, of Atlanta, has been chosen
Chairman of the Georgia delegation. Eve-
ry district in Georgia except the first is
represented. General Gordon is expected
I to-night, which will -make the Georgia
Representation complete. It has ken
agreed upon in caucus of the Georgia del
[ egation that the Chairman should speak as
instructed by the delegation. 1 tie same
rule will probably be agreed upon by most
of the Southern delegations.
The rival delegations from Kentucky
have been harmonized.
No decision has ken made in regard to
the conflicting delegations from Louisiana.
The Convention met at 12 o clock. The
delegations from Massachusetts and South
Carolina entered the Convention together
amidst the most vociferous cheering. After
king seated the band composed of over
fifty musicians played “Dixie” amidst the
most intense enthusiasm and the heart}'
cheering of over eight thousand persons.
The band followed with the Star Spangled
Banner. Governor Orr, of South (Jaro
linacalled for cheers, which was responded
to in the most wild and enthusiastic man
ner, together with the waving of flags,
hats and handkerchiefs.
General Dix, of New York v w r as unani
mously nominated temporary Chairman.
He took his scat amidst loud and hearty
cheers. Ho spoke for about one hour, re
turning thanks for the honor conferred
upon him. He considered the Conven
tion of 1860 equal in importance and paral
lelled only hy the Convention of 1787.
lie declared that the war was waged
only for the purpose of preserving
the Constitution and the Union.
—as a necessary result ofthe war, slavery
is forever abolished and the Union becomes
perpetual. The principle of secession is
abandoned, and it is our duly to maintain
the Union of our Fathers on the principles
of the Constitution and make it the basis
of restoration.
He affirmed the right of the States to
representation, but that right had ken de
nied by a faction. Was this the object of
those who fought gallantly for the Const i-j
tut ion and the Union ? [ Enthusiastic cries !
of No! No !] Are not these States euti- |
tied to representation? [Cries of Yes!
Yes!]
Congress has rejected the Union of the
thirty-six States, and we arc met here as
representatives of those States, to redress
as far as possible this action. We have
met for that purpose, and will do it.
The Convention was opened with prayer.
Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin moved |
that the call for the Convention be read, j
Gen. Steedman of Ohio offered a resolu
tion that a Committee on Credentials be j
appointed, and that all delegates loyal to
the Constitution and the laws be admitted,
Steedman was appointed Chairman of the
Oommitee. A Committee on Organiza
tion was appointed, when the Convention
adjourned until 12 o’clock to-morrow.
Philadelphia, August 15. —The Con
vention met at 12 o'clock to-day. The
! wigwam was densely crowded. It is esti
mated that at least !-"qHOO were inside the
j enclosure, while many thousands remained
t outside unable to obtain ingress. The ut
i most enthusiasm was manifested by the
j entire assemblage.
Mr. Blair, from the Committee oa or-
I ganization, reported the name of James R.
Doolittle, of Wisconsin, as permanent Chair
j man. Judge Lyon, of Atlanta, is the Vico
j President for Georgia. The Preside it, on
| taking the Chair, occupied about an hour
j in one of the most eloquent and telling
; speeches l ever heard. He was mo* rap
: turously applauded throughout his "Utiro
I remarks, lie commenced by saying that
: “Peace hath her victories no less renowned
than War." This Convention, over which
he had the honor to preside, foreshadowed
the victory of peace. Peace had choc, and
conic to stay. Massachusetts inaugurated j
secession in ISI2. South Carolint, follow- j
ing the lead ol' Massachusetts, nude seees- i
siott nullification in 1 532, and tinil the first
gun in lSfil.
Massachusetts had shod the li st blood,
but now both these States had tome up to
the common altar of their country to
bury past animosities and to end all
strife, having the whole pciple of the
United States as witnesses to he conflict.
The people demanded that the next Con
gress should admit all the Sties to their
full and just rights and repjsentation :
that a complete restoration ot the l mon

FROM PHILADELPHIA.
The National Union Convention—lmmense
Attendance—The Utmost Harmony Pre
vails— North and Smith United—Con
templated Convention of the Soldiers of
Both Armies—Speech of Gov. Orr. of
C.
Philadelphia, August 14, a. m.—-The
trains last night and this morning have
ken heavily laden with delegates and vis
itors to the great Convention, and the ho
tel-are overflowing. The reception room
of the Executive Committee has ken
thronged with delegates registering their
names/ Every State and Territory is rep
resented. The harmonious feeding ofyes
terday is still more marked to-day. Fer
nando Wood, in a letter declining - to appear
a.-i a delegate, lias made him many friends-
Vallandigham will not go into the Con
. volition. Ifo has written a letter to that
effect. At a meeting of the Chairmen of
the various delegations, held last evening,
tlie following business was agreed upon:
Each delegation is to report one of its num
kr for Vice President; one for Secretary ;
two for the Committee on Finance; two
for the Committee to wait upon the Presi
‘ dent with a report of the proceedings of
the Convention; one for the Committee on
■ Credentials; one for the Committee on
| Organization : two for the Committee on
| Resolutions and Address. There will k
' no discussion upon the resolutions.
The interchange of opiuion among the
( delegates has exhibited a unanimity of sen
timent upon this subject, which forbids
discussion. The resolutions will substan
tially embrace the propositions contained
iri the call for the Convention, which is
honestly and cordially approved by all the
delegates here, both from the North and
the South, whether Republican or Demo
cratic.
It is proposed that the Convention shall
issue a general address to the country ; and
in addition to the address of the Conven
tion proper, that the Southern delegates
should unite in a separate address, stating
more in detail the position they occupy,
the reasons by which they are influenced,
and tlie results they hope to obtain.
An informal meeting was held last
evening of the soldiers of both the
Northern and the Southern armies, in
which a proposition was made, and
received with favor, to call a Convention
of the soldiers of the two armies at some
central point, within a few weeks, where
men who fought bravely against each other
may meet in a spirit of conciliation, and
determine to stand together in maintaining
the Union and the Constitution.
Gov. Orr, of South Carolina, spoke at
the National Guard Hall last night. He
said that the people of the South believed
that they had a right to secede. The peo
ple of the North did not agree with them,
and the question was submitted to the
arbitrament of arms. The Northern in
terpretation of the Constitution has been
firmly and legally established. The decis
! ion was pronounced upon the field of bat
j tie, and the decree is incontrovertible. The
| South has surrendered her principles, and
j accepts the Northern interpretation. We
| are willing to abide by it forever. By this
! war the people of the South to a very large
j extent have been stripped of their pro
perty. Their hanks and their credit are
| both gone. In many localities tlie great
! stand point of civil law has been
I lost. Thus the people of the South have
i more need of a stable government than you
have, and it is mad folly to charge that
they will not fulfill their oaths to support
this government. We claim that this is
our government as well as yours, but that
we may be equal, we mu st have represent
tion in Congress.
Montgomery Blair and others spoke,
The Convention will organize in the
Wigwam.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, August 14. —The Con
vention assembled in the Wigwam to-day
at 12-30 P.M. Mr. Randall opened the
Convention by saying:—“Gentlemen Ihave
to announce that the delegates from South
Carolina and Massachusetts will now come
arm in arm into this Convention. This
announcement was greeted with great ap
plause—the entire audience rising to their
feet. At this moment Major Gen. Coueh
of' Massachusetts and Governor Orr, of
South Carolina, at the head of their re
spective delegates marched arm in arm
into the Convention, with banners flying
and bands playing. Shout after shout
spontaneous and general rent the air.
Tears tilled the eyes of delegates and spec
tators.
John A. Dix was nominated as the tem
porary chairman. In accepting the posi
tion he said :
“ I regard this as a Convention of no
ordinary character; not only on account of
the high social and political standing of the
gentlemen who compose this Convention,
but because it is a Convention of the peo
ple of all the States of this Union, [ap
plause,] and because we cannot doubt that
if its proceedings are conducted with har
mony and good judgment, that it will lead
to the most important results. It may be
truly said that no body of men have met
on this continent under circumstances so
momentous and so important, since the
year 1787 —[applause]—the year when our
ancestors assembled in this city to form a
better Government for the States compos
ing the old Confederation —a Government
which lias been confirmed and made more
enduring, as we trust, by the fearful trials
and perils which it has encountered and
overcome. [Applause.] Ten States have
yet no representation in the legislation of
j this country, and it is this wrong that we
j have come here to protest against, and as
| much as lies in our power to redress.
When the President of United States de-
I dared that the war had ceased, all the
I States had the right of representation.
: The exacting of new conditions is suhver
| sivc of our national liberty, and dangerous
jto the public peace. [Loud applause.] Is
I this the Government our fathers fought to
| establish, or which we have fought
j to maintain ? lie trusted in the delibera
j tions of the Convention, the idea would be
i to change the present complexion of Con
i gress, and bring it back to its original
; standard —one country —one flag—one un
j ion of equal States.
: After the appointment of Commit
j tees on Credentials, resolutions and organ
ization. the Convention adjourned until to
| morrow at noon.
Senator Doolittle has been nominated in
■ the Committee of Organization as perma
nent Chairman.
Vallandigham sent a letter to the Ohio
j delegation to-day, declining to go into the
! Convention. It will be read before that
j body to-morrow.
National Union Com cation.
Philadelphia, August 10. —The Con
vention met at ten o'clock. The M igwam
was crowded to its utmost capacity, fully
one half of the audience are ladies. Sena
tor Cowan from the Committee on resolu
tions and address presented a declaration
of principles which were unanimously
adopted with niueh enthusiasm. It de
clares that the war just closed has main
tained the authority of the Constitution,
and has preserved the Union with the
equal rights, dignity and authority of all
the States perfect and unimpaired.
That representation in Congress and the
Electoral College is a right abiding in and
a duty imposed upon every State, and
that neither Congress or the General Gov
ernment have authority or power to deny
the richt to any State—that Congress has
no power over the elective franchise but
that that right belongs exclusively to each
—that no State lias the right to w.tL
draw from the Union, that in all the
amendments to the Constitution ail btates
have an equal right to vote. That slavery
abolished aud forever prohibited, inat
the National debt is forever sacred and
nviolable. an 1 the Confederate debt in\ ami.
recognizing the services of the Federal sol
diers aul sailors, and the debt due by the
nation to them and to their widow? au l or
phans. Endorsing President Johnson for
his steadfast devotion to the Constitution
and the laws, and to the interests of the
country. The address was prepared by
Raymond of New York, and was read by
that gentleman, and then unanimously
adopted.
The National Executive and Financial
Committees were then announced.
Senator Doolittle said in his opening ad
-1 dress vesterday that this Convention was
one of the greatest events of our day.lt
was the first National Convention held in
six years, and in the interim there had
ken blood, agony and tears. Our broth
-1 ers had fallen, and our resources ken
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 ee the fraternal
feeling here, there would be no struggle at
the polls this fall. (Great applause.) But
i as the whole people cannot be- here to wit
. ness what is transpiring, the greater
I work rests upon us. From this time until
! the election of the next Congress, we should
j k untiring in our exertions to age tliat the
j next Congress, if this one shall continue
to refuse this sacred right of represenut-
I tion to equal States, shall recognize them.
[Applause.] When that Is done, the
Union is restored, and when the Inion is
restored we shall be prepared to enter upon a
higher and nobler career among the nations
ofthe ear.h than has ever yet been occu
pied by any government upon which the
sun of heaven has shone. [Applause. ]

people of the United States.
Delegates leaving for Home—Press Ban
quet.
Philadelphia, August 17.— Many of
the delegates to the Convention left for
home last evening, the balance will leave
to-day. The proceedings throughout
were most harmonious, not a single event
to mar the good feeling—the address hut
not the resolutions—was written hy Henry
J. Raymond. It is merely the resolutions
elaborated. During its reading for a time,
almost breathless silence prevailed. The
President requested the delegates and
spectators to manifest no sign of approval
or to make other demonstrations until the
reading was completed. This request
secured quiet until the speaker arrived at
the following paragraph.
“And the tea millions of Americans wlio
live in the South would be unworthy citi
zens of a free Commonwealth —degenerate
sons of a heroic ancestry—unfit even to be
come guardians of the rights and principles
bequeathed to us by the fathers and found
ers of the Republic, if they could accept,
with uncomplaining submission, the hu
miliations thus sought to be imposed upon
them.”
The entire audience then broke forth in
an unrestrained burst of applause, which
lasted for several minutes. At the conclu
sion of this enthusiasm, a demand wns
made that the paragraph quoted should
be read over again, which was assented to, |
and again the applause broke forth with
redoubled effect.
The Press Club gave a splendid banquet
to the members of the press last night, at
which Radicals and Southerners frater
nized, and high hilarity prevailed.
FROM WASHINGTON.
The President on tUc Philadelphia Con
vention.
Washington, August 18. —The I resi
dent, in an interview with the New Hamp
shire delegation in reference to the Con
vention and his future policy, said : “We
have now a policy and principles recog- j
nized and laid down by the most intelli
gent, able and patriotic body of men con- !
vened since tlie days of the Declaration of ;
Independence —a recognition of this policy j
and principles will be required ol those i
who receive office and patronage from the j
Government. It was a duly the adfi-iiis
tration owed itself that strength and power
should be given to those who maintain the
principles declared by that great body of
national men who met this week in Con
vention at Philadelphia,
Speech of President Johnson—The Phila
delphia Convention.
Washington, August 18. —-There was a
great crowd to-day to hear the President
in response to Reverdy Johnson, who
presented- the official proceedings of the
Philadelphia Convention. He said, re
ferring with feeling to the scene represent
ed of South Carolina and Massachusetts
entering the Convention together. He
was overcome and could not but conclude
that an overruling Providence Mas direct
ing us aright. He said our brave men
have performed their duties. in the field,
and have won laurels imperishable j but
turning to General Grant, he continued :
but there are greater and more important
duties to perform, and while we have had
their co-operation in the field, M’e now
need their efforts to perpetuate peace.
(Applause.)
The Executive Department had tried m !
“pour oil” on the wounds and restore the
Union, but it bad not entirely succeeded.
We have seen, he said, in one department
of the Government every effort to prevent
the restoration of peace and harmony in :
the Union. .
We have seen hanging on the verge oi
Government, as it were, a body called or
which assumed to he _ the Congress of the :
United States, while in fact it is a Congress |
of only apart of the States. We have
seen this Congress assume and pretend to
be f‘T the Union, when its every step and
act tended to perpetuate disunion, and
makes a disruption of States inevitable.
Instead of promoting reconciliation and
harmony, its legislation has partaken of
the character of penalties, retaliation and ;
revenge. This has been the course and the j
policy = of one portion of your Government.
The humble individual who is now ad
dressing you, stands the representative of
another department of the Government.
The manner in which he was called upon
to occupy that position, I shall not allud- 5
to on this occasion. Sufiice it to say tha,
he is here under the Constitution of the
country, and being here by virtue of its

mv early life to hold it sacred, and having
practiced upon it during my whole public
career. I shall ever continue to reverence
the constitution of my fathers, and make
it my guide. [Hearty applause.] The
President proceeded, and denied the
charuc that he hud ever been tyrannical,
or a despot, but Wd such charges were
simply intended to deceive and delude the
public mind into the belief that there is
someone in power who is usurping and
trampling upon the rights of the constitu

! applause, t I said on a previous occasion,
i ana repeat now that all that was necessary
in this great v.iu.gle again s-Vyranny and
despotism was that the struggle should
i be sufficiently audible for the American
people tc hear and properly understand.
They did hear and looking on they see
who" the contestants were, and what the
struggle was about, and., have determined
that they would settle this question on
the side of the constitution and of principle,
i I proclaim here to-day. as I have
! on previous occasions, that my faith is in
j the great mass of the people. In the dark
i est hour of this struggle, when the clouds
, seemed to be most lowering, my faith in
stead of giving way. loomed up through
the cloud beyond which I saw that all
would k well in the end —my countrymen,
we all know that tyranny and despotism
in the language of Thomas Jefferson, can
be exercised and exerted more effectually
by the many than by the one. We have
seen a Congress gradually cnroach, step by
stop, and violate day after day, and month
after month, constitutional rights and the
fundamental principles of the Government.
We have seen aCongress that seemed to for
ce: that there was a limit to the sphere and
scope of legislation. We have seen a Con
gress in a minority, assume to exercise power
which, if allowed to be eanieu out. would
result in despotism, or anarchy itself. This
is truth, and because others, as well as
myself, have seen proper to appeal to the
patriotism and republican feeling of the
country, we have been denounced in sever
est- terms. Slander upon slander, vitupe
ration upon vituperation of the most vil
lainous character, has made its way through
the press. What, gentlemen, has ken
vour and my sin? AA hat has been the
cause of our offending? I will tell you:
Darina to stand by the Constitution of our
fathers!! I consider the proceedings of
this Convention, sirs, as pore important
than those of any Convention that ever as
sembled in the L nited States. [Great ap
plause.]
When I look with my mind’s-eye upon
that collection of citizens . coming together
voluntarily and sitting in counsel, with
ideas, with principles, and views commen
surate with all the States, and eo-extensive
with the whole people, and contrast it with
the collection of persons who are trying to
i destroy the country, I regard it as more
important than any convention that has
! sat. at least, since 1787. (Renewed apj
plause.)
I think I may also say that the declara
tions that were there made are equal to
tlie Declaration of Independence itself, and
I here to-day pronounce them a second
Declaration of Independence. (Cries of
“glorious.' and a most enthusiastic and
prolonged applause.)
Your address and declarations are
nothing more nor less than reaffirmation
of the Constitution of the United States. ;
Yes, I will go farther, and say that the ■
declarations you have made, that the prim 1
ciplesyou have enunciated in your address,
are a second proclamation of emancipation
to the people of the United States. [Re
newed applause.] Form proclaiming and
re proclaiming these great truths you have
laid down a Constitutional poktfonn, upon
which all can make common cause, and
stand united together for the restoration :
of the States, and the preservation of the
■ Government, without reference to party.
The question only is, the salvation of tfte
| country; for our country rises above all
party consideration or influence. .
How many are there in the 1 nited States
that now require to be free? They have
the shackles upon their limbs, and arc
bound as rigidly as though they were in
fact in slavery. I repeat then, that your
declaration is the second proclamation of
j emancipation to the people of the United
Suites, and offers a common ground upon
which all patriots can stand. (Applause.)
Air. Chairman, and gentlemen, let me in
this connnection ask what have I to gain
more than the advancement of the public
welfare. lam as much opposed to the in
dulgence of egotism as any one, but here
in a conveisational manner, while formally
receiving the proceedings of this Conven
tion, I may be permitted again to ask what
have Ito gain by consulting human am
bition more than I have gained, except
in one thing ? My race is nearly run—
I have been placed in the high office which
I occupy under the constitution of the
country, and may say that I have
| held from the lowest to the highest, al
most every position to which a man may
attain in our government. And surely,
gentlemen, this should be enough to gratify
a reasonable ambition.
If I wanted authority, or if I Mushed to
perpetuate my own power, how easy it
would have been to hold and wield that
which was placed in my hands by the
measure called the Freedmen’s Bureau
Bill? (Laughter and applause.) With an
army which it placed at my discretion, I
could have remained at the Capital of the
nation, and with ' fifty or sixty million of
appropriation at my disposal; with the
machinery to be worked by my satraps and
dependents in every town and village ; and
then with the Civil Rights Bill following as
an auxiliary. (Laughter.) In connection
with all the other appliances of the Gov
ernment, I could have proclaimed myself
Dictator.
But, gentlemen my pride, and my am
bition have been to occupy that position
which retainsall power in th aands ofthe
perple. It is upon that I have always re
lied. It is upon that I rely now, and I ex- I
pect that neither the taunts nor jeers of
Congress, nor of a subsidized calumniating ;
press, can drive me from my purpose.— j
(Great applause.) I acknowledge no superior
except my God —the author of. my exist- !
once, and the people of the United States.
(Prolonged and enthusiastic cheering.) j
For the one, I try to obev all his commands,
as best T can, compatible with my poor
humanity; for the other in a political and ;
a representative setise, the high behests of
the people have always been respected and
obeyed by me. (Applause.).
Air. Chairman, 1 have said more than I
had intended to say. For the kind allu
sion to n.yself contained in your address,
and in the resolutions adopted by the Con
vention, let mo remark, that in this crisis,
and at the present- period of my public life,
I Hold above all price, and shall ever recur
with feelings of profound gratification to .
the last resolution containing the endorse- i
ment of a Convention emanating spontane
ously from the great jntjss of the people.
I trust and hope that my future action
may be such that you and the Convention
you represent, may not regret the assur
; ance of confidence you have expressed.
Before separating, my friends, one and !
all, please accept- my sincere thanks for the i
kind manifestations of regard and respect
you have exhibited on this occasion. I
repeat, that I shall always continue. to
bo guided by a conscientious conviction
of duty, and that always gives one courage,
under the constitution which I have made
my guide.

took a position near the door, opening into

REVIEW OF THE AUGUSTA MARKET,
ror. THE WEEK ENDING AVGUST ISTH, 1860.
[lt should he borne in *mind that our
quotations rejtresent wholesale prices. Small
bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a
shade higher rates.]
REMARKS. —There has been rather less
than the usual animation in the market
(luring the week, owing, in some degree,
perhaps, to the dull and declining tone of
cotton daring most of t._<_ week.
The reports from the interior, of the
alarming extent of the drought have affect
ed the demand for provisions, consumers
buying very sparingly. While there is no
present want of rain in the immediate vi
cinity, and cotton is doing well, the upland
corn was almost entirely ruined by the
July- drought. In all other portions of the
State the crops are now suffering to an
alarming extent. In Middle and Upper
Georgia the corn crop is almost a complete
failure, and great distress is anticipated.
Colton is falling and opening prematurely,
and will not .""ike, as a general thing, half
an average yield to the area planted.
Telegraphic communication by the At
lantic Cable has proved a perfect success,
and wc are in daily receipt of intellig' ■se
from all parts of Europe. We have reports
of the Liverpool market to the 16th, when
cotton advanced id., with sales of 20,000
bales, and middling uplands were quoted
at 14d. This daily communication will, it
is believed, render the market more uni
form, and while it affords less scope for
speculative interests, will be advantageous
to holders.
Our cotton factors are now issuing their
circulars, preparatory to the fall trade.
Some changes have been made in the old
firms, and a number of new houses have
been opened. Our planting friends will
find the familiar names of many who were
identified with the trade in other days,
ready to renew business relations with
them, and the new houses are composed
of men of reliable business antecedents.
The want of banking facilities is severely
felt in this department of trade, but as the
season opens an adequate supply of foreign
capital will, doubtless, be available, and our
market will maintain its well-earned char
acter for fair and liberal dealing.
FINANCIAL.—The prosper" if a col
lision between France and Prussia caused
an advance in gold in New York during
the early part of the week, and better prices
were obtained here. On yesterday the
market opened at 150, but the report of a
declire in New York later in the day,
caused a reaction here, and it could be
bought at 148@149. Georgia and Central
Railroad Bonds sold at p; -and interest,
and Montgomery and West . oint Railroad
Bonds at 921. A demand for Georgia Rail
road Stock at 82; New York exchange,
par to i premium.
The reduction in the rate of interest by
the Bank of England from 10 to 8 pi cent.,
with a suggestion of a still further conces
sion, shows a return of public confidence
which, it is believed, will cause the price
of cotton to be maintained, and tend to a
further decline in gold on this side.

COTTON.—We left buyers and sellers j
: very far apart in their views at the close !
of our last report, tlio top of the market j
; being 30 cents f r good middling cotton, j
As the week progressed the breach appears |
to have widened, and there has been almost j
Ia cessation of business—the lhiptyd sales
made, being usually under peculiar cir
; cumstapees, and, therefore, affording no
fair criterion of the market. Holders
have struggled very hard against cor- ,
cessions lower than 30 cefofo, but mere were ;
no buyers at that rate, and all parties were |
waiting the run of events. It is proper to ,
say that quotations include the taxes, ;
: which are paid by the buyer, and >here
| the taxes have beer, paid by the seller, the
amount is added to the price. The ad
j vance in Liverpool reported on yesterday,
and the abandonment by Napoleon of his
i arbitrary demand on Prussia, have created
a better fooling, and sales wore made at 28
@3O cents. We now quote:
Low Middling 28a...
Strict Middling 29a...
Good Middling
There is little demand for the lower grades.
| FI-QUR. —Tho market is overstocked
with Western flour of low grade, and it
can be bought at from 88 to 12. Good
Western superfine is held at §l3 50 to 14,
and is very dull; extra, §l4; fatally, *ls©
16. Qur city anils are now actively at
work, and are making flour of excellent
' quality. The difficulty in obtaining wheat
: has heretofore confined their business
chiefly to the local trade; but the Excelsior
Mill has been making large shipments to
i Savannah and Charleston dumag the week,
i and offers to duplicate Baltimore rates.
All the city mills quote as follows: Super
j fine, §l4; extra, §ls; family, §l6.
WHEAT.—The supply is fully equal to
| the demand, and the tendency is to lower
rates. We quote §2 5Q©2 75 for red, and
§2 75©3 for white. Engagements have
; been made for large quantities at lower fig-
I ures.
AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.—
We call the attention of our readers to the
facilities afforded in this market for the
purchase of tools and labor-saving nia- ,
chines. Our dealers will fill orders for ,
any article desired, which will be furnish- ;
ed at manufacturer 0 piicos, actual cx- ,
pensos added.
CORN.—The market has been rather j
! qnict during the week, but holders are ,
; firm. We quote white at §1 60©1 65; yel- j
1 1 0 -,v; §1 59©1 55; mixed, 81 40©* 45.
B \GGING. —This article continues in
active reoucst, and has advanced 3 to 5
; cents on our last quotations. IV e quote
. trunnv at 40©42 cents and Stiff.
~ BUTTER. —The supply of Northern and
Western is ample, and country is very
j dull.
I TOBACCO.—This aitiuie is in rather
| light supply, and prices have an advancing
■ tendency.
