The Columbus Sun of Sunday gives the following particulars of the Convention meet ing held in that city Saturday, 31st: The meeting yesterday was largely attended by both whites and blacks. Excellent order was preserved. Tue mretiug was orgauizsd by the election of the following officers, all of whom were colored: Barney Hawkins, Chairman ; John Wells, Jas. II. Disham, Aaron Hurt, E l. Woolfolk, vice-Presidents ; Jienj. Holmes, Secretary ; Jno. McDuffie, As sistant Secretary. The following resolutions were read by thc Secretary, Benj. Holmes, and passed unan imo'^sly : We, the colored Conservative Union men of Georgia, adopt the following platform of principles : 1st. Wc are in favor of the Union of the States under the Constitution of the United ' Sutes. 2d. We are the friends of peace and civil law, and tbesa great objects can be best pro . motfd by legislation recognizing equal and exact justice to all-exclusive privileges to none. 3. We are in favor of imm?diate restora tion of cur disfranchised fellow-citizens to all right*, privi'eges and immunities to full and complete citizenship. 4. That our colorid fellow citizens, being now citizens ol thc United Stated and Geor gia, aud voters, are entitled to all the rights and privileges of citizens, under thc laws of the United States. 5. Wo are opposed to the repudiation of the National Debt, and we are in favor of equal taxation as a proper method of paying the ssmo. G. And we are in favor of repealing the heavy taxati'ou which is imposed upon UP, for wc believe it to bc unjust altogether. 7. Wc are in favor of peace and harmony betweeu the races and equal political rights to all, and immeiiato enfranchisement indis criminately. Eminently Conservative addresses were made by John Wells, Benjamin Holmes, J. E. Wi'liams, Barney Hawkins, Aaron Hurt. Holland Mitchell (all colored), and Col. Sauls bury and A. R. Lamar, Esq. All tbespceches were effective and will be productive of good All were severe oe the Radicals, yet all must admit their stiicturt'3 were just. Barney Hawkins took a very bold stand, as did all. Among other things he announced that he would be an opposing candidate to Bob Si mons for Sexton, if the latter ran on h's new platform. Aaron Hurt said he wou'd'nt '.rust Ashburn to lead his daughter down the street iu thc day time. The Tennessee orators, Benjamin Holmes and J. E. Willian.s, delivered lengthy and able speeches. That of thc latter was a high ly logical effort, andlistonishcd all. It was a splendid campaign speech. Wc have the address of Holmes entire and copious notes of the others, but for unavoida ble reasons we aro compelled to delay their publication until our next paper. We regret it but it cannot be helped. There was a slight interruption toward the close of the meeting. Mr. Lamar was speak ing, when a soldier of the garrison com menced calling out-" Fort Wagner ! Fort Wagner !'' and stated what colored troops had done th^re, aud u Down with the Rebs." He wa3 quickly, by orders of thc sergeant on duty, rashed to the guard house, aadall fears of a disturbance allayed. The Leaguers endeavored to prevent the negroes from attending the meeting but they failed iu a great measure. Ashburus spies were busy. John Wells and the various speakers deserve the thanks of all. We have been authorized to state that the oncers of this maetiog, as given above, con stitute in Columbus a permanent Conserva tive Union Committee, to look after the in terest of the party in Georgia. ? -J? ? ? Conservative Convention at Mont gomery. MONTGOMERY, September 5, p. m.-The Conservative Convention adjourned to-day after adopting thc following resolutions: The Conservative men of the State of Ala bama, in Couveutiou assembled, in the city ol Montgomery, adoptf an expression of their vlows the follow-ic- esolutions of the State of Pennsylvania, r .ted at a recent Conven tion in that Stat' 1st. Thc Constitution of the United States being that form of civil government estab lished by thc founders of thc Union with such changes as have been subsequently made therein, in thc manner prescribed by itself, it j is the only rightful government, binding upoD every inhabitant cf all rauks, sexes, colors, ages and conditions, and it is the duty of each j and every one, without exception or modifi- ! cation, or under any circumstances, to adhere to, protect and defend the same. 2d. In ali conflict of powers under that in strument the supreme judiciary power is the only arbiter which is independent of, and in its provinces superior to, each of the others, and they are bound to obey. 3d. The union o: the States is decided by the war and accepted by the Southern people to be perpetual, and the authority of the Fed eral Government is supreme within its Con stitutional limits. 4th. Congress ?3 not the Federal Govern ment, nor is the President, nor the Suprcm? Court. The Federal Goverument is that foi m of civil policy established by the Constitution, consisting of all three, each supreme in it* own limits and each entitled equally with the others to the loyal obedience of every inhabi tant of all the States. 5th. By thc Constitution .and under the fundamental law of thc Federal Government, which is sope.-ior to Congress, and of which Congress itself is the creature, representation in Congress and the elect-ral colleges is a right Inndamental and indestructible in its \ nature, and abiding in every State, being a', duty 8? well as a right pertaining to the pto pie of every State, and the denial of which is the destruction of the Federal Government. (jib. Each State under the Constitution has the exclusive riglgt to prescribe the qualifica tion of its own electors. The Conservative men of Alabama adopt as a further expression of their opinions and purposes thc following : 7;b. Resolved, That it is our earnest aim and purpose to cultivate relations and friend ship, harmony and peace between the two races, to deal justly with the blacks, and to instruct, and aid in instructing them in a proper understanding of all their duties to themselves, to society, and the country, and we denoucs as treacherous and base all at tempts by bad men to engender or encourage antagonism between the two races. 8tb. That we are inhabitants of a common country, sharers and sufferers of a common destiny, and we will do all in our power to in struct, and elevate the colored race in its moral, social, and political responsibilities. 9th. That while we have much charity for the colored man, and feel inclined to look in dulgently ?nd tolerantly on his prejudices of race, inculcated and encouraged os they have bien by recent ?vents, and by insidious coun sels of bad mon, we appeal to him by the commcn interests of a common country to place his trust in these he knows to be honor able, and to deal cautiously with strangers who bear no evidence that they ?era honored srb*re they aro better Jcnc-m, From the Charleston Mercury, 7th inst.

Gen'l and Brevet Maj.-Gen'l U. S.A. OFFICIAL : 0. M. MITCHELL, Aide-de-Camp Political Meetiug at Belton S. C. In accordance with previous notice, a large number of citizens assembled at Belton, on' Frida}', 29th ultimo. The Anderson Intelli gencer gives the following account of thc pro ceedings : Major Johu B. Moore was the first speaker introduced. He announced himself in favor of the Convention ; declared the interests ol both races were identical, and that it was their duty to treat each other kindly; told the freedmen that their white neighbors were their best and only friends ; denounced in strong terms all secret political societies ; ad monished all classes- to avoid a conflict of races, and assured the freedmen that arraying a black man's party against the whites would prove disastrous to them. Col. W. D. Wilkes next addressed thc au dience in a lengthy speech, mainly directed to thc freedmen, and entering fully into their history as a race aDd introduction into this country, giving them praise for past behaviour, but especially during thc late w.ir. For this aud other .reasons, the whites of the South were not only willing, but anxious to promote their welfare. Ile favored tho State Conven tion, and declared that while some good sol \ diers were opposed to it, he knew that the greatest opposition came from men who were in soft places during the late war. Hon. J. S. Murray was then-introduced, and ? in an able maimer explained the object of Government, and demonstrated the necessity for a stable Government at this time. He then gave a brief history of the introduction of slavery, and of the contests to which it led. Having remarked that all were citizens of a common country, thal God had cast our lot together, and that we must live together either as friends or enemies, ho then warned the colored people against emissaries from the North-whose motives were selfish aud whose designs arc destructive of their best interests. He also urged them not to identify them selves with any party, showed that the Re publican party discriminated in favor of white labor, by heavily taxing cotton, which was unj ust aud oppicssi ve. The speaker explained their civil and political rights, and declared that when these were secured to them, their destiny would bc in their own bands, and that with iudurtry, economy, education and moderation, a bright career was before them, but if they recklessly made the white man an enemy, and brought about a couflict of races, their destruction was certain. Hon. J. L. Orr was then introduced, and addressing the whites, advised them to regis ter and vote for a Convention, as it was folly and madness to attempt to defeat that object. There were GO.00O negro voters, 30,000 whites, and as the Convention would look to the in terest of thc black man, it could not be ex pected that one of them would vote against it. He then admonished the freedmen that they must be industrious and save their money, and reminded them that if they attempt op pression of thc whites now while in thc ma jority, it might be -visited upon them in the future,, when the balance of power would be different, as no more negroes were to be brought to tbi.s country. He disabused their minds of the idea that they would obtain lands from the Government, and showed that I this was not even desirable upon their part. The Governor presented every phase of the issues before the people, with groat force and ability, and to the satisfaction of bis hearers. We regret that fuller Dotes of his speech are not at our command. The regularly invited speakers having con cluded, it was requested that J. P. M. Epping, of Charleston, be allowed to occupy the stand. That gentleman made a short speech, endors ing for the most part the speech of Governor Orr, but adviseJ the blacks to adhere to the Republican party, and recommended to them the Union League, t?e favored high taxes upon land, but told the negroes they were to have no lands given to them. He admonished them against a conflict of races, declaring that they would find 32.000,000 whites against 4,000,000 of blacks, and that the conflict would be short and result in their extermi nation. Wilson Cool;, of Greenville, and Elias Can ady, of this village, both freedmen, also made speeches. We learn that Cook told the ne groes they were to have no lands given to them, and that confiscation would work to the detriment of their race. It would be the means of inaugurating a war of races, and in that event, he would not live in the State, though he was given a thousand acres of land. From all that wc can learn, the ppeakers indulged in plain taik, without exception. In deed, we are assured that the discussion was of that character to allow no room for doubt as to the opinions of both white and colored, and we trust that the impressions made will be deep and lasting, especially in regard to the result of those extreme measures referred to by every one of the speakers. -? -??- ? ?5^* Tho United States Consul at Messina esti mates tho deaths from choiera at that place at 6,000 since Joly last.

According to public notice given by tho Board of Registrars for the 7th Reg't., Edgefiold Dis trict, they will sit at this placo on next Monday and Tuesday, the 16th and 17th inst., for the pur peso of registering thc names of all citizens, not disfranchised, who may yet appear before them with this intent. Wo take it for granted that similar notices have been given at every precinct in our District Destructive Rains. The rains in this section of country, for weeks past, but especially on Sunday last, have been almost unprecedented for volume of water and des tructivo capacity. We havenever seen io so short a period such torrents of rain water, or beard such universal complaiot of damage done by rain. On Monday, after the terrible floods of Sunday, the clouds held up; lut to-day again, (Tuesday,) there is every appearance of heavy rain. We bear of highways being torn to pieces, bridges carried away, and mill dams broken. Among the latter, we mention Long's, Pusey's, and Hatcher's? all on Shaws' Creek. Tho earth is as full of wa ter as though it were a sponge just saturated. Tho damago to the crops must-be immense. Unde* these circumstance^, let us strive to re member the reply-and take it for our example of Job to his wife, when sho bado bim " Curse God and die." "Shall wo recoivo good at the hands of God, and not evil ? Playing With Edged Tools. For the first timo in their lives thc negroes have the ballot, and, like children with edged tools, they aro beginning to cut and hack regardless of | result!. Or so at least is it in this community, which is being disturbed and alarmod almost nightly by tho unlawful and riotous proceedings of the freedmen. On Wednesday nights, occur thc meetings of their Union Republican Club, or Loyal League, or whatover else it may bo called ; and on these nights, especially, are their doings very dangerous and unbecoming. We menn their doings outside of their Club-an indication to our mind that their interior carryings-on aro no less mischievous. Wc aro credibly informed that on Wednesday night last, they, boldly halted peacea ble white citizens, passing the Club House to reach their homes, stopped them, and demanded from them a countersign. A proceeding aa stupid as it was high-handed. A fino piece of business truly ! And on tho same occasion they arc said to have been universally armed, alleging that they wero expecting to bo attacked by whites and driven from the house. Any one, white or blaok, living in this community, well knows, and must confess, that these factious freedmen labored un der no such impression ; nothing has happened, nothing been said or done, in EdgcGeld for a year past,-tiny, for two years past-that could possi bly have given rise to any such fear. For theto gratuitous rows, noises and disturbances, which now inako almost every night in our midit hide ous, thc freedmen aro emphatically to blame. Are there no men of age and influence among them to advise them to better things ? Will not the Commandant of thc Post here, take precaution? to arrest such proceedings boforo tl.ey culminate in terrible disaster? Are these deluded froedmcn to be forever played upon by despcroto politician? and schemers withouiSJ'cOHnterocting influen ces? Politicians and schemors, who, whether thoj be white or black, homebred or foreign, have but ono common object-plunder, and if possible, office. If the dangerous, unlawful and unprovoked proceeding?, of which.we havo Epoken above, be not left off, we advise our citizens to loso no time in making a representation of thc matter to Gen. CANBV. HO may-ns he certainly ought to-inter pose his authority, and restore to the sleeping women and children of this community some sense of saftcy and protection. Carrying Deadly Weapons. By General Orders No. 10, issued in April last, the practice of carrying deadly weapons, except by persons in the military or naval service of the United State*, is expressly prohibited. And at tne time of the publication of said order very much was said by the authorities regarding tho strict and rigid enforcement of its provision?. Hereabouts, this enforcement has been-and still is-far from strict or rigid. White men, as a general thing, have given up tho practico of car rying deadly weapons. Many negroes carry them in tho most open and unbridled manner. Km; Sickles? JUast Order. We learn from the Columbia Phoenix that Ooh. Sickles has appointod W.

Exit of the Southern Famine Relief Association, The Committee of the Southern Famine Relief Association held a final meeting in New York very recently.

Thc whole country is looking with sager anx iety for the forthcoming Amnesty Proclamation of President Joiixaos. In our news column will be found an announcement, in advance, of the classes excepted in this Proclamation. The Pro clamation i? daily expected to bo officially pro mulgated. Upon this subject wo givo tho follow ing from tho Charleston Mercury . It has been a great question in tho South what practical benefit was to be expected from the promised amnesfj' proclamation. Even those persons nlready specially pardoned are not al-' | lowed to register ; and it was, naturally, argued that a general proclamation of amnesty, in the faco of the provisions of the Second Supplemen tary act, would not have greater effect than an individual amnesty granted beforo Congress had declared that an Executive pardon should not en title any person, otherwiso disqualified, to regis ter or vo':o. The Philadelphia Pr?te, a violent and unscrupulous opponent of the President, be lieves, however, that Mr. Johnson wilf make his amnesty effective, and that this will bo done by a Presidential order, through General Grant, based upon na opinion of the Attorney-General. The Pr?te says: At any rate, Mr. Johnson will assume to inter fere with the registration of voters, by ordering thc reopening of tba registration lists, as well as thc postponement of all elections that have been ordered ; and in this connection the long-talkcd of nmnei ty proclamation, which is now promised to tho public in a few days, is of great signifi canee, lt has been argued that tho postponement I of the elections ordered by Sheridan, and the re opening of the registration, wonld not amount to anything, save confirming thoopicion of all k>ynl men that Johnson tras opposod to Congressional and districtional reconstruction ; but the prepara tion of this amnesty proclamation probably dis closes tho plot in all its hideous criminality. In short, it is surmised to be the intention of the Ad ministration not only to reopen registration whare it has bcjn closed, but by granting pardon to thousand! of voters who are now disfranchised, to override che Union majorities promised by the present situation in the South, and insure rebol victories at the coming election, or, what, is the same thing, tho election of supporters of the Ad ministration to all of the offices in the Southorn States. The mere promulgation of an amnesty procla malion will not effect this objoct without anothe* opinion from Attorney-General Stauben/, ittued to thc Sou'h'rn Commanders at a military order hy the Commander-in-Chief. It will bo remembered, in this connection, that the first opinion from Stanbcrry regarding reconstruction waa intended to bc issued in that form, but the intention was frustrated by Secretary Stantnns's opposition to it in the Cabinet. No ono can doubt for a mo ment that Messr*. Slanberry and Black can man ufacturo arcumttnts for an opinion, which, issued by tho military authority of the Pre?ident, will evade the points in the Reconstruction laws which now apparently pr?sent insurmountable obstacles to the success of this scheme. Altogether, the situation is moro muddled than evor, and while it is not safe at this juncture to make any certain prediction os to the new developments of tbo Johnsonian policy, thc public may feel a-tured that Mr. Johnson icill not retrace any of the tteps he han taken in the premise?, but on the contrary may expect new und more startling evidences of his madness, as he baa within the past few days earnestly promised his Copperhead advisers to curry out tho programme which he hrs begun to. tho bitter end, teven if impeachment is sure to follow. Tho Indian Lu?ictntic?. ** For two years past, or moro, the Iudiana on Ibo Northwo.-ttrn Plains havo proved themselves ex tremely unfriendly to tho whites of tho frontier settlements, and their hostile demonstrations have gono on from worse to worse until thcro now seems to be imminent danger of a general Indian war. Day by day, and month by month, dis patches come thick and fast from the Weft and Northwest, reoounting innumerable, and most horrible Indian outrages. The whole Indian population, and it is still very large, seems to bc in a stato of blind and wrathful excitement. And wc do not doubt but that these Indians have abundantcauso for their enmity to thc whites. Ever sinec the settlement of America our own Vaco has been wretchedly culpuble in the matter of outragiog thc poor and fricndlcrs red man. There are volumes of evidence that bad white men are nearly always the inciters of Indian troubles. But be all this os it may, wc are now, in all probability, about to witness another act in the gloomy and inglorious drama of Indian ox termination. Congress at its last session appoint ed a Commission to proceed to the Northwest and investigate Indian affairs. At thc head of this Commission is Gon. W. S. Blarney, perhaps thc oldest Indian figbtor in tho United States, one who served in Florida in the Black Hawk war, and who, s idee then, has seon immense servico on tbo pinina. This Commission ?snow in Nebraska, pursuing its investigations ; and tho probabilities seem to bo that measures on a largo and expen sive scale will soon be inaugurated for tho punish ment and subjugation of the luckless Indians. lu Nubraska, Gen. Augur is in command; in the Stato or Territory North of Nobraska, Gen. Ter ry : while South, in tho Department-of Missouri, the redoubtable politico-military horo Gen. Sheri dan now holds sway. Gen. Augur estimates the number of troops necossary to enable him to wago a successful campaign against the Indians in his district at 20,000 men, 15,000 of whom must be cavalry. He also estimates tho same amount, or number, necossary in Gen. Sheridan's district: and the tame for Gen. Terry's district. Sixt; thousand troops required to subjugate or extermi nate the Indians of our Western plains and moun tains ! But Gon. Harney goes farther than this. He estimates tho number necessary to put down the Indians at 100,000 men. And he is supposed to I make his estimate from a thorough knowledge of j the capacity of the Indians for war. He often rofera to thc campaign in Florida as proving the courage, abrowdness and determination of the Indians when pressed into an extremity and com pelled to retort to arma aa their only means of | self-preservation. In Florida the nation expend ed Filly Millions of dollars in the war against the Seminoles, fought thom six years, and were then forcod to buy them off-never succeeding in conquering them. As to time, Gen. Harney Fays five years would be necessary to completa the work. And the grund estimate of tho cost is, at the very lowest, $100,000,000 a year. Fite yoara then, and 5500,000,000 to subjugate tho Indians! Big work !

A Quick) Certain, Sure Flan to Recon* struct the South. Every man in the Southern States must now see that the old plan of large plantations must be done away with, and to keep such places, now that the negroes are free, is neither practicable nor desirable. Large plantations, if practicable, are against the true interests of tbe South. What they need is population-; population is political power and wealth. That being the case, how are they to ac ?uire that population 1 The answer is easy, et every man in the South instantly subdi vide his land into fifty acre tracts, as near as possible dividing the wooded and cleared land equally, at any rate giving to each forty acres five or ten of wood. When this is done, let them offer in all the Western States to give to each settler alternate forty acres of | land, requiring no other terms than that each settler shall bring with him a team, farming implements and' means to build a house, and five years residence. In Illinoiii, Indiana, Ohio and other Wes tern States, land is worth from $5U to $150 per acre. These lands are out o? the reach of the thousands and hundred)* of thousands of young, enterprising and industrious men who are looking about for wives aud a future settlement. Open these alternate forty acres of good, rich lands to them, and instantly every avenue of travel will be filled with in telligent, thrifty, practical farmers, going South with their wives, their horses and im proved farming implements to settle on the lands donated them. We mention Western men because, as contrasted with a foreign popula!ion, i.hey are skilled farmers and more desirable in every way. Let this b ; done, and in five years at most we shall have an overwhelming white popula tion ruling tho country, developing its re sources and rebuilding schools, colleges, academies, churches and railroads, where now there are none. Let this be done and we shall soon see a height of prosperity in the South never dreamed of by them. Thc Brown lows, JJunnicutts and all such fanatics, with their negro votes, will vanish like the mists of morn before the rising sun. Let this be done, and the alternate forty acres reserved will be wortii fivefold more than the whole is now. Let tiis be done, and the South will risc up again as a ruling power in the land, and confiscation and excessive taxation will vanish. The danger to our plan is this: each and every man may see it as we do, but the part simony of ct.ch may prompt him to hold on to all of his lands, boping his neighbors may divide out whilst he holds on to all-There lies thc rub. ARREST or AN INCENPURT LECTURER. We are glad to learn from the Bennettsvillo Journal that Nat.

He is charged with preaching incendiary doctrines to the freed people ot Marlboro District, aud will be tri- * ed by military commission.

Ux WARRANTABLE MILITARY INTERFER ENCE.-We regret to announce what we can not but regard as an unwarrantable, interfer ence of the military authorities in au affair between two private citizens here, and which so far os it was au offence against the public peace, was one which the local civil authori ties were ready and fully competent to punish. The matter to which we allude was an alter cation between Mr. Andrew Simonds, of Charleston, and Mr. IL C. Belcher of our District, growing out of some pecuniary diffi culty, and which resulted like most affairs of the sort, in blows given and received, without serious damage to either party. Mr. Belcher, tho assaulting party, was held to bail at the time, to auswer an indictment, and when a week afterwards he wa3 here for the purpose of perfecting bis bond to keep the peace, he was suddenly arrested and hurried off under a military escort, we kuow not wbero, to an swer for his offence before some militar}' tri bunal. To heighten the hardship of thc case, we learn that Air. Belcher was hurried away from a sick wife for an indefinite period. We ?tate the facts simply, and forbear comment. Abbeville Press. THE WAR OF RACES BEGUN.-The Chatta nooga Union learns that, on Tuesday, in Washington, Rhea County, a party of white men became involved in a controvcrsv with some niggers, net upon politic*, but with re gard to thc races, which ended in the niggers being driven out of tho town. The Loyal League, of course, took it up, and entered the town on Wednesday, with the niggers, and a running fight, with varying success, ensued. Thursday, the town was quiet, but the people wero apprehensive of serious difficulties. The war of races is inevitable, but it is not the fault of the negroes, but of thc low dowu white men who have arrayed tho blacks in deadly hostility against their own race. They have sown the wind, and they will reap thc whirlwind. NEGRO TROOPS FOR ORANGEHURG_We re gret to state Mint a companv of negro troops, numbering 1 officer and t2 men, left this place for Orangeburg, by the South Carolina Railroad, yesterday morning. They belong to the 40th United States Infantry, and came we believe from Washington Kia Wilmington. We regret this circumstance, not because we want them to stay here, for if they have to be stationed either in Charleston or Orangeburg, we prefer the latter place, but we think their presence anywhere in the State can only re-: suit in harm. Whito troops havo been gene rally found to be the friends of order,, while the presence of negro troops invariably creates disturbances among tho coloured population. -Charleston Mercury. GENERAL CANBY'S OPINIONS.-General Can by, who has just been appointed to the com mand of the Second Military District, is said to have remarked yesterday, in conversation with a friend, that he was not a political par tisan, but that he had studied the reconstruc tion laws thoroughly and approved them, and thal he considered their faithful execution es sential to the welfare of the nation. He thought it the duty of the Southern people to accept the terms offered them.

The question came upon Monday before Judge Bryan as to the validity of payments made nuder proceedings in the South Caroli na Oonrts during the war, in Confederate money. The case was a suit against T. R. Agnew, assignee, against Mrs. Lucy T. Thomp son, of Spartanburg, widow of Henry Thomp son, Administratrix. During the war, a Bill in Equity, at Spartariburg, was filed, calling in the creditors of the Estate of Mr. Thomp son. The note due tbepayee, who assigned io the plaintiff in this case, was filed in Court by S. Bobo, attorney, and agent of payee. Property (lands) of the Estate was s?ld, and chis debt, with - that of other creditors, paid off by the proceeds in Confederate money, as all the other debus were. The Judge ruled che proceeding of the State Court not obliga tory and directed the jury to find for the whole amount of the note against Mrs. Thomp son. The amount being under two thousand dollars, no appeal can be taken ; consequently, Mrs. Thompson will have to sell more proper cy to raise the money a second time. On Tuesday, an interesting question was made before the Court, as to the construc tion of the Internal Revenue A?t of Congress of 18C2, which provides inter alia that col lectors shall be appointed in each State ac cording to the number of representatives to which each State is entitled'. The offenqe was charged to be in violation- of the provi sions of this Act. Arnim and other defen: dants, in the indictment pleaded that this Stale not being entitled to representation in Congress at the time of the Act, was not em braced in its provisions at all, consequently, they are not amer able or answerable to any charges of violations of laws which Congress itself did not in terms apply to the State where such violations are alleged to be com mitted. The point was ably, argued for defendants, by General Gary, of Edgefield, and Hon. W. D. Porter, of Charleston, and replied to by District Attorney., Mr. Corbin, and J. P. Reed, of Anderson, who is associated in the prosecution. Tho Judge overruled the pica principally on the ground that the specifica tion of the Act as to thc number of collec tors was merely for territorial conveniences, and had nothing to.do with the authority of Congress er the liability of citizens to pay taxes.-Greenville Enterprise, 4th. THE LINEDRAWX.-Several of the Virginia papers, including the Charlottesville Chronicle and the Norfolk Lay Book, that have recent ly manifested a desire to co operate with the Radicals in restoring the Seato to the Union, have-changed their views since the meeting of the Huunicutt Convention. The Chronicle remarks as follows : " From the proceedings of that Convention, it is almost impossible to discover that any white man was there except Mr. Hunnicutt and Mr. Hawxhurst. The colored people just took things in their own bands, and acted as if there were no white people in the State. They have defiant by organized themselves into a black man's party, and only one thing re mains for tho white people to do-to take up the glove.'' " Our advice is this : let us fight it out. It may be that in the approaching election the whites will fail to carry a majority of the counties. But in the long run the result is not doubtful. The colored people are merely sealing their own doom. We tell them, as we have told thom before, that thirty-one millions of white people in the United States are not going to surrender the South-the magnificent empire of the South-ta four millions of blacks. The thing cannot bo done ; it will not be done ; their hope is iu peace ; but if they will have war, let it come." BOLD TALK.-The New York Citizen (semi Radical) has tried the black vomit and does not like it. It says : The daily papers are mnkmg a great mad die over tho opinions of the prominent Gen erals and the people at large on the question of reconstruction, They tell us that Grant approves of the course of the President, that Thomas agrees with Sheridan, and thaf Sher man favors the plan of Congress or vice versa, according to their political bias. We can tell them all that if the Congressional system is to put the South in possession of the ne groes, it does not meet the views of the peo plp, the sailors in our fleets, the soldiers in out armies, the morchauts at-their desks, the farmers at their ploughs, or any other large body of our citizens. A St. Domingo is not what we fought for ; we do not want it and will not have if ; and that the niggers, wheth er white or black, may understand as well first as last. Nations are cruel when driven to despair ; and, rather than surrender our whits nationality, we will massacre or euslave every colored mau in the States. This may bc bold language and unconventional, but we ask our readers whether it does not meet the confirmation of their hearts ? We have sac rificed too many whites for a principle to stop at taking the lives of a few worchless blacki. STREET RAILROAD.-This grand enterpr is in a fair way of being commenced-soi ti of the iron having arrived and been droppc along the streets, ar d on Monday next, we are assured that ground will be broken at the Lower Market. Mr. Blair, one of the con tractors, is here and will superintend the work. It will be run from Houston to McKiunie streets, on the 'south side of Broad street, within twelve feet of the pavement. We bave heard much of the importance of this work, and of its ma?y advantages to Augusta. We shall wake up some fine morning aud hear the sound of the merry bells as the cars come whistling by. Thon Augusta will raiSQ ita bowed head; its property will arAiance in value; and her citizens feel her importance in the asceuding scalp of progress. Gorge ous palaces, such as those now finishing ou Ellis aud Mclutosh streets, will begin to rear their majestic proportions; vacant lots will be decorated with magnificent residences, and up-town and down-tDwn, and all around the town, dilapidated buildings will be razed to the ground to be supplanted by new and nore stylish ones adapted to the age in which wc live. There is life in the old land yet, and if the Devil closes his mortgage on old Thad. Steveus, aud Joe Brown does not confiscate our property, Augista will yet be a great city, prehaps !-Chronicle & Sentinel. GLORYING IX ITS FILTH.-The editor of the Knoxville Whig thus refers to certain com plaints agaiustbis paper: A portion of the Conservative aristocracy of Knoxville lind fault with our paper be cause it is wanting in literary taste-not ohaste in its selections-and not refined and <'pious" in ita teachings! Their remedy is not to read the paper-we will not say pay for it-for these refined grumblers all bor row. We don't edit and publish a paper for the edification of the se fastidious rebel sym pathizers, but for tbs unsophisticated people who vote the Radical ticket. In other words, we are of the "Dry Shirt Party," and shall shapo our course to please and serve that par ty, ' The decency of the country can look out a sheet suited io '.heir tastes, habits of life, ancl pious training-keeping in the tack ground their " private ways,'1 and the more startling effects of their " early piety." NEGRO CONGRESSMEN.-Tho Vicksburg Mississippian says : " Although South Carolina was tho first to suggest negro Congressmen and officials in the eveut of Radical success iu the South it is simply a very general idea that prevails throughout the South, and should we of Mis sissippi who oppose a Convention fail of suc cess, we will combino our sti ;ngth with tho negro vote, and oust forever the hopes of Northern and Southern Radicals who desiro to uso Sambo to climb into office. " We.constitutional people will see to it that Mr. Radical Cocfish from the North, and Mr. Sympathizer Muggins from thc South, shall not tuurp the Government from thc blacks, who (according to the argument ol 'the legitimate resuhs of the war'), have a divine right to rule. What a beautiful and instructive lesson on thc folly of human am bition, to behold Mrs. Codfish and Mrs. Mug gins, snubbed by those elegant ladies of color, Mrs. Coal Black Ros? and Mrs. Yaller Car nation, sweeping indignantly by the Mow white trash,' as they pnmcnade majestically down Pennsylvania Avenue, on the arms cf thc black Daniela, who indeed have come to judg moj.t.'" General Pope-What the " Hob" Think? of Him. Ia reviewing General Pope's recent letter to General Grant, in relation to the extradi tion of Messrs. Hill, Johnson and Perry, the Boston Post gives the following neat and polbhed sketch of the peculiar characteristics of this truly great and good man 1 Gen. Pope is a funny man. AH who re member his Falstaffian report about the num ber of his prisoners, his announcement that his Headquarters were in the saddle, his de moralized retreat toward Washington, his ar ray without any head, and he seeking quartert at the Capital while steam was up on the Po tomac to convey the Government from the District in case the enemy followed the saga cious General, too close for its safety, will not wonder that President Lincoln thought Pope had more wind *han efficiency. His preten tious letter to Gen. Grant illustrates his con ceit and weakness. He recommends the ban? ishment of those who differ from him in opinion and express that difference, and pro scribes all newspapers that oppose his views, and then announces his anxiety to secure freedom of ?peech and the liberty of the press I He declares the only safety for reorganiza tion in the South is through free discussion, and then recommends ostracising all who oppose the Radical pilan and proscribes all papers that do not advocate it. He says this I coune is necessary to secure the South to the Republican party, and then proceeds to de monstrate the certainty that the Republicans will triumph in all these States without any coercive measures.
