S. CURRENCY. The National Union Convention. Philadelphia, August 14. Trains last night and this morning were heavily loaded -with delegates and visi? tors to tht> great Convention, and the ho? tels are overflowing. Thereception room of tLe execui! we committee has been thronged with d'.iegates registering their i names. Evory State and Territory is represented. The harmonious feeling of yesterday is still more marked to-day. Fernando Wood, in a lotter declining to appear as a delegate, has made him many friends. Yallandigham will not go into the Convention; he has written a letter to that effect. At a meeting of the chairman of the various delegations last evening, the fol? lowing business was agrcod upon: Each delegation is to report one of its number for Vice-President, one for Secretary, two for the Committee on Finance, two for the National Union Committee, two for a committee to wait upon the President with a report of the proceedings of the Convention, one for a Committee on Cre? dentials, one for that upon organization, and two upon resolutions and address. There will be no discussion on the resolu? tions. The interchange of opinions among the delegates has exhibited an unanimity of sentiment upon this subject that forbids discussion. The resolutions will substantially embrace the proposi? tions contained in the call for the Con? vention, whioh is honestly and cordially approved by all the delegates here?North and Sooth?Republican and Democratic. It is proposed that the Convention shall issue a general address to the country, and, in addition to the address of the Convention, proper Southern dolegates should unite in a soparate address, stating more in detail the position they occupy, the reasons by which they are influenced, and the results tboy hope to obtain. An informal mooting was held last evening of the soldiers of both Northern and Southern armies, in which a proposi? tion 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. Governor -Orr spoke at the National Guards' Hall last night. He said the peo? ple of the South believed they had the right to secede; the North did not agree on the question, and submitted it to the arbitrament of arms. The Northern in? terpretation of the Constitution has been firmly and legally established; that de? cision was pronounced on tho field of bat? tle, and the decree is incontrovertible. The South has surrendered her principles, and accepts the Northern interpretation; we are willing to abide by it forever. By this war, the people of the South have, to tk very largo extent, been stripped of their property; their banks and their credit are gone. In many localities, the great stand-point of civil law has been lost. Thus, the people of the South have far 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 this as our Government as well as yours; but, that we may be equal, we must have representation in Congress. It is not just to tax us and exclude us from representation. Montgomery Blair and others, also, Bpoke. The Convention will organize in the wigwam. The Convention assembled in tho wig? wam at 12.30 P. M. Mr. Randall opened the Convention, saying: Gentlemen, I have to announce that delegates from South Carolina and Massachusetts will now come, arm in arm, into this Convention. This announcement was greeted with great applause. The entire audience rising at this moment, Major General Coucn, of Massachusetts, and Governor Orr, of South Carolina, at the head of their delegations, marched, arm in arm, with banners flying and music playing. Shout upon shout spontaneously rent tho air, and tears filled the eyes of the dele? gates and electors. Gen. John A. Dix was nominated as temporary Chairman. In accepting, ho said: I regard this as a Convention of no ordinary character, not only on ac? count of the high social and political standing of the gentlemen who compose this Convention, but bocauso it is a Con? vention of all tho States of the Union, [applause,] and because wo cannot doubt, it its proceedings are conducted with har? mony and good judgment, that it will lead to 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 tho year 1787. [Applause.] Tho year when our ancestors assembled in this city to form a better Government for the States which composed tho confederation; a Government which has been confirmed and made more enduring, wo trust, by tho fearful trials which it has encountered and overcome. [Applause.] Ten States have yet no representation in tho logis laturo of this country, and it is this wrong wo have como to protest against, and as much as in our powor to redress. When the Presidont of the United States declared that the war had ceased, all tho States had tho right of roprosentation. Tho oxacting of new conditions is sub? versive to our national liberty*, and <!an gerous to the public poaco. [Applause.] Is this the Government our fathers fought to establish, or which we have fought to maintain ? Ho trusted that in the delib? erations of the Convention tho main idea would be to change tho present complex? ion of Congress, to purify tho Republic, and bring it back to its original stan? dard?one country?ono flag?one union of equal States. Alter the appointment of the commit toG3 on credentials, resolutions and or? ganization, the Convention adjourned un? til to-morrow, at noon. Senator Doolittle has been nominated in the committoe organization as perma j nont chairman. I Vallandigham sont a letter to the Ohio delegation, declining to go into Conven? tion ; it will bo read before tho body to? morrow. Philadelphia, August 15. Tho Convention was called to order at noon. The wigwam was crowded with delegates and spectators. A largo num? ber of ladies wore present. General Dix was in tho chair. Mr. Blair, from the Committee on Organization, announced Mr. Doolittle for President, which was re? ceived with groat applause. The Committee on Credentials reported in favor of the admission of Gon. Crosby's Maine delegation. The lettor of Vallan? digham met with great applause. After stating that the Ohio delegation had passed resolutions ondorsing him as duly elected a delegate, his patriotism and fitness to represont his constituents, and declaring their readiness to stand by him in tho as? sertion of his rights as a dolcgato, should ho doem it pi-oper to present himself to the Convention, ho says, yielding my own doliborate conviction of duty and right to the almost unanimous opinion and desiro of friends whoso wisdom and soundness of judgment, and sincerity and purity of motives I may not question, to tho end that there shall be no pretext even from any quarter for any controverted ques? tion or disturbing element in the Conven? tion to mar its harmony or hindor in any way the results to tho cause of tho Con? stitution and Union, tho public liberty which shall follow from its declarations and its action, I hereby withdraw from tho Ohio Democratic delegation, and decline taking my scat in tho Convention. I am protouudly conscious that tho sanctity and magnitude of tho interests involved in the present political canvass in the United States aie too immense not to do-1 mand a sacrifice of every porsonal con? sideration in a struggle upon the issue of which depends, as 1 solemnly believe, tho I present peaco and ultimately tho cxist enco of a free republican Government on this continent. In conclusion, he trusts the proceedings will be harmonious, the action wise, and that tho results will be crowned with triumph. The following despatch was received from tho President: Washington, August 13. To Hon. 0. H. Browning and Hon. A. W. Bandall, Con vention, Philadelphia: I thank you for your cheering and en? couraging despatch. Tho finger of Provi? dence is unerring, and will guide you safeiy throuh. The peoplo must bo trust? ed, and tho country will be restored. My faith is unshaken ns to tho ultir -co suc? cess. ANDREW" JOHNSON. The Convention adjourned until to? morrow, at 10 o'clock, when tho Commit-1 tee on Resolutions will report. Senator I Cowan is Chairman. Philadelphia, August 16. The Convention met at 10 o'clock. The wigwam was crowded to its utmost ca? pacity?half of the audionco being ladie3. Senator Cowan, from the Committee on Resolutions and Addresses, presented a declaration of principles, which was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. It declares that tho war just closed has maintained the authority -of the Constitu? tion, and has preserved tho Union, with the equal rights, dignity and authority of all the States unimpaired. That rep? resentation in Congress and in the Elec? toral Colleges is a right abiding in, and a duty iraposod upon every State, and that neither Congress nor tho General Gov? ernment has any authority or power to deny tho right of any State; that Con? gress has nopowor over tho elective fran? chise, but that right bolougs exclusively to each State; that no State has the right to withdraw from tho Union; that, on all constitutional amendmonts, all the States have an equal right to voto; that slavery is abolished and forever prohibitod j tha*t tho national debt is sacred and inviolable; and tho Confederate debt invalid; re? cognizes tho sendees of tho Federal sol? diers and sailors, and the debt duo by tho nation to thorn and their widows and or? phans; and endorses Prosidont Johnson for his stoadfast devotion to tho Constitu? tion, laws and interests of the country. Tho address was prepared by Raymond, of New York, was read by that gentle? man, and unanimously adopted. vThe National Committees, Executive arti^Financial, were then announood. Sei>vlor Doolittle Paid, in Iiis opening .address: It was tho first National Con? vention in six years, and, in the intorim, thero had been blood)' agony and toars; our brothors had fallen and our resources been wasted on a thousand battle-fields; but, thank God, the assurances here tell ub peaco has. come at last. If tho people of tho whole country could soe the frater? nal feeling here, there would bo no strug tle at the polls this fall; [great applause;] but, as a whole pooplo cannot bo here, to witness what is transpiring, tho greater work rests on us; from this time until tho election of the noxt Congress, wo should bo untiring in our efforts to see that the next CongrosH, if this one shall contiuuo to refuse this sacred right of roprcsonta tion to tho equal States, shall rocognize them. [Applause.] Whon that is done, the Union is restored, and when the Union is restored, wo shall bo prepared to enter upon a higher and nobler career among the nations of tho earth than has ever yet been occupied by any Govern? ment upon which the sun of heaven over shone. [Applause.] Tho Convention was organized by the election of J. R. Doolittlc as President. Among tho Vice-Presidents are J. W. Brockenbrough, of Virginia; John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina; Judge Ward law, of South Carolina; Richard ?. Lyons, of Georgia; Judgo Randall of Florida; Cuthbert Bullett, of Louisiana; J. M. Tibbctts, of Arkansas; D. J. Burnett, of Texas; George H. Houston, of Alabama; Thomas A. R. Nelson, of Tennessee.? Edgar Cowan, of Pennsylvania, is Chair? man of the Committee on Resolutions.? In this committee, aro Gen. Couch ; Sena? tor Dixon, of Connecticut; Raymond, of Now York; Bigler, of Ponnsj'lvania; Rcvcrdy Johnson, of Maryland; Graham, of North Carolina; Governor Perry, of South Carolina; C. C. Kagdon, of Ala? bama; Wm. Younger, of Mississippi; John Ray, of Louisiana; McDougal,, of California, and othors. Tho Convention adopted a declaration of principles and adjourned, sine die.? There will bo an address issuod to tho people of tho United States. ? PlFSLADELPIIIA, AugUSt 17. Many of tho'debeg^atos to tho Conven? tion left iast evening;- tho balance leave to-day. The. proceedings throughout were most harmonious?npt a single event to mar tho good fcoling. The ad? dress, hut not tho rcsolutiions, was writ? ten by Henry J. Raymond. It isSnerely tho resolutions elaborated. During ittJ reading, for a time, almost breathless si, lenco was preserved. The President re? quested the delogates and spectators to manifest no sign of approval, or to make other demonstrations, till tho reading was completed. This request secured quiot, until tho spoakor arrived at tho following paragraph : 'And tho 10,000,000 of Americans who live in tho South would be unworthy cit? izens of a free commonwealth, degene? rate sons of an heroic ancestry, unfit over to become guardians of tho rights and principles bequeathed to us.by tho fathors and founders of tho republic, if they could accept with uncomplaining sub? mission tho humiliation thus sought to be imposed upon them." The entire audionco then broko forth in an unrestrained burst of. applause, which lasted for several minutes. At the conclusion of this enthusiasm, a de? mand was made that the paragraph quo? ted be read over again, which was assen? ted to, and again tho applause broke forth with redoubled effect. Tho press club gave a splendid banquet to tho mem? bers of tho press last night, at which rad? icals and Southerners fraternized, and high hilarity provailed. -o Result of the "Air-Line Railroad" Meeting in IMew York. Mr. E. M. Johnson, ono of the Direc? tors of the Air Lino Railroad, has just roturncd from tho meeting of officers of tho above road, held in New York. From him wo have been able to gather the following facts. Tho first business before tho body was to elect officers. This was dispatched without delay. Then a committee was appointed to prepare by-laws, which being done, the}' were brought bofore the meeting for adoption first singly, then as a whole. One of the resolutions adopted, was to this'effect: "That this road shall run from Atlanta to Gainesville." When it reaches Gaines? ville, two surveys aro to be made from that point. One route to run to Chester via Anderson C. H. The other to Char lotto or Salisbury, N. C, via Old Pendle ton. Tho Engineer clectod, Mr. Sage, was to proceed immediately to the sur? veying of these lines, and be prepared to report at thoir next meeting, which was to be hold in Atlanta upon the 4th Mon? day in September. Mr. J ohnson speaks very sanguincly, and thinks the building of this road is a foregone cortaiuty. Groat inducements were of course held out to bring the road through lioro. Our immense mineral wealth and mining operations aro suffi? cient guarantees that this road will pay, besides it was a very slight deviation from an Air Line, and was the only prac? ticable route tu bring it. There are many persons who aro cn tiroly ignorant of this proposed road. It is believed by many that it is only in? tended to run from Atlanta to Anderson Court House. This old line, about which there was some oxcitemont a fow years | ago, is to bo a grand link in ono of tho greatest rondo in tho United States. The 'Air Lino" Road proper is to ran from New Orleans to New York in as near a diroct lino as will be practicable Thoy propose to traverse this distance in fifty hours. Thoy know thoy can do it, and thoy feel confident that it must bo tho most desirable lino for transportation, for the very seusiblo reason that it will bo the most economical and expeditions. These facts induce capitalists to invest? they care not ono fig for tho road from Atlanta to Anderson only as a connecting link in this proposed line. Congross has incorporated a company to be formed tho "Air Line Company" to build this road, and appropriated ono million dollars towards tho building of it, Truo this amount is not to bo rockonod as dollars and cents, and is but a drop in tho buckot, but tho namo moans nothing, and tue more fact that somo action was taken upon it by that body proves that tho road is not considered impracticable, but is destined to be a national benofit. Wc haw sketched the proposed line so that our people may readily soo tho in? calculable advantages to the wholo coun? try, which are to be derived from the running of this lino. They may -well re rejoice at the prospect of tho road being built, for it will be the road, in every senso. on this continent.?Air Line Eagle. o Stay Laws. To the Editors, Legislature and People of South Carolina: Tho Legislature will soon be convened for the purpose of modifying our District Court system, so as to meet the require? ments of the legislation of tho late Fed? eral Congress. It i'b the design of a strong influence in tho State to use this extra session for tho purpose of passing j laws to delay or hinder the collection of I debt. I wish, briefly, to state the effect of the attempt to carry out such a design. Such laws cannot bo mado valid without an amendment of tho Constitution of the United States. Lawyers who say othor wiso are badly informed or wilfully mis? lead the people. Our present distress is owing, not so much to the devastations of war and emancipation, as to the shock givon to our credit by tho passage of our Tato stay law. Otherwiso, Now York, Philadel? phia and Baltimore, with millions seek? ing investment, would not refuse to sell to us on a crodit. This is not opinion but fact. The merohants of those cities bo say. They are alarmed at tho animus of our legislation, and it will roquiro at least ono regular session of our Legislature to pass, without an attompt at tho passago of such laws, to rcstoro commercial con? fidence. No law has over been*passed, interfering with tho laws of trade, that has not produced evil and harm to those intended to be benefitted. There are cases where the prevention of tho collec? tion of a debt would bo almost a moral crime. Thoro arc othors where the sac? rifice" of a debtor's property would be an act worthyiof Shylock. An honest pub? lic opinion wiil rcgulato the arm of tho law i*n these eas'es. Why is it that now, witl} Sheriffs armed with fi.fa.'s, very few levies are made^f. i,V The agitation of the subject of stay laws holdf. ou'tfalso hopes, and prevents creditor and debtor from compromistn.^. It is not true that creditors, as a gem eral rule, design the collection of^thoir claims; they desire to have them secured, which, being done, they aro ready to grant any reasonable indulgence. *? Our Legislature, if they close the ciyl courts and leave the criminal courts open, will thoroby leave tho Judges in a posi? tion which will onable them, as honest Judges, to declare all laws dolaying or hindering tho collection of debts, "repug? nant to the Constitution of the United States." To close the civil courts, then, all courts must bo closed. What follows ? Vide Gen. Grant's order: "The United States military will have cognizanco of all crimes and misdemeanors, without re? gard to the color of tho parties!" Lib? erty has already gono, this will take away her shadow now left us. Suppose, howevex*, tho civil coui'ts to bo closed, what then ? Tho Freedraen's Bu? reau will collect tho debts owing to frocd raon. What follows? The white man will transfer his dead claim to a negro! This is not conjectured?it was done in one District, to somo extent, boforo the annulling of the late stay law. Again, suppose the hands of creditors, who aro citizens of the Stato, to be tied; then croditoi*s, who ax*e citizons of other States, (now a large class,) whoso claims exceed ?500, will suo in tho United States courts, and the marshals will collect, aided by a posse of Federal boyonets, if necessary. This is not all. Debts above 8500, founded on bills of exchange, (Act of Sept. 24, 17S9, Sec. 11,) promissory notes, (I Mason, 251,) and notes payable to bearer, (II Peters, 818.) bona fide convey? ances of titles to land, (II Sumncr, 252,) which four classes of causes of action will embrace in amount three-fourths of all debts, will lcavo the State and become the property of citizens of other States, who will suo in tho United States Courts. Is it truo that creditors have no con? science ? Is it true that all dobtors aro honest? Is it truo that creditors aro al? ways rich and tho debtors poor? Is it just to disregard tho rights of the credi? tor, although a poor widow or orphan, and to protect tho debtor who may be in possession of tho widows' or orphans' property, without any consideration paid? 1b it not truo that those who favor repu? diation and stay laAvs arc, as a general rule, either popularity-seekers, or those who owe moro than they oxpect to col? lect from their dobtors? I pity tho man rcducod to poverty by tho late war, and can sympathize with him in his struggles, even where, in his extremity, he desiros to stay the hand of justice; but great is my contompt for the . lawyer, or well-informed man, who for a I little popularity, will doludo his follows and ruin his country?for it is too truo that our honor and our crodit are all that aro left us; take thcra away and we aro poor indeed. Let public opinion alono, and fear not tho bug-bear ol the poor debtor boing "sold out of house and homo." I ask when, and in how many instancos in our Stato, from its earliest history, has a man and his family been sold out of house and home and turned out of doors by his creditor, unless tho debtor connivod at it himself, in order to take tho benefit of tho Insolvent Debtor's Act, or whero tho debtor was fraudulently making way with or screening his property ? XAISSEZ NOUS FAIRE. _.-<p^ _Mississippi physicians think tho vast floods of rain which fell in that State last spring caused unhoalthiness in tho pres? ent crop of fruit and vegetables. A LITTLE SUITBEAH. A littlo sunbeam in tho sky Said to itself one day : "I'm very small, but why should I Do nothing else but play ? I'll go down to the earth and sec If thcro is any use for me." Tho violet beds were wet with dow, Which filled each heavy cup; The little sunbeam darted through, And raisod their blue heads up. They smiled (o see it, and they lent The morning brecz? their sweetest scent. A mother 'neath a shady tree, Had left her babe asleep ; It woke and cried, but when it spiod The little sunboam peep So slyly in, with glance so bright, It laughed and chuckled with delight. On, on it went, it might not slay; Now through a window small It poured its glad but tiny ray, And danced upou tho wall. A pale young face looked up to meet The sunbeam she had watohed to greet. And now beyond the sea The merry sunboam wont; A ship was on the waters free, From home and country sent; But sparkling in th<j sunbeam's play, The blue waves curbed around he*r way. But there was one who watched them thoro Whose heart was full of pain; She gazed and half forgot her care, And hope came hack again. She said, "The waves are full of gloe; And there may yet be joy for mo !" And so it traveled to and fro, And glanced and danced about; And not a door was shut, I know, To kcop that sunbeam out; But ever as it touchod tho earth, It woke up happiness and mirth. I may not tell the history Of all that it could do ; But I tell this, that you may try To be a sunbeam, too. "A sunbeam, too !" porhops you say ; Yes, I am very euro you may. For loving words, like sunbeams, will Dry up a fallen tear, *^ And loving deeds will eften help ^ l A broken heart to cheer. VSi'frwpng and so living, you Wr?^bc t^itlo sunbeam, too. r~1~^~WTs> ' A Northern Editor's Comments on the Memorial lowers. How touch ingry boautiful must havo boon tho sight of thirty thousand South? ern wornou and children in Eichmond, strewing tho graves of their fallon dead on Memorial Hay! Truly it is swoet for ono's country to die, when the hand of beauty, tho tear of sorrow and tho sweots of tho floral kingdom aro brought to tho last resting placo of the lovod who died [ in defouso of their laud, their lovod ones and their liberties. The women may weep? The mothers may pray? The heroes may sleep? There com-jth a day When history will do full justico to those who wont forth to do or to die for thoir country, North or South. Who is there with a hoart in him that would not rather be a dead soldier in that cemetery, watched by boauty, covered with tear-wet flowers, and shrined in memory as they are by those who admire bravory, than to bo one of our Nor thorn vandalic gonerals hko Butler, Banks, Curtis, Wash burn, Prentiss, Schurz, Burn sido, Hurlbcrt, and others of that class of patriots, who fought for spoils and not for principles, and who were most active when tho enemy wore in their rear? There is not a soldicr-gravo in all the South filled with him who woro the fadod gray, but is before God and tho true world more of a man and a patriot than the political tool of tyranny who uses his official position to wiu wealth instead of honor, and whose most successful warfare was carried on against women and chil dron, alono and defenseless. Who will r strew flowers over tho gravo of thief j Butler or cotton-stealing ?Ranks ? Who j will, with roses, perfume thc*air over mule-loving Curtis, or piano-loving Pren tiss? Who will shed tears over the graves of hundreds of Northern officors, who robbed, burned and pillaged tho homes of innocent parties ? Angels may woop over their sins, but mortals novor will weep over their virtues. And who will wcop ovor tho graves of the tyrants, cowards and tools of tyrants who went about tho country mobbing men for an opinion, imprisoning men for their belief, and beating their brains out with clubs for not shouting a lie in praiso of tyranny, cowardice, wrong and usur? pation ? God bless the good womon of our land, be thoy North or South. God bloss thoso who aro truo to themselves, and who honor the heart which alono makes woman lovoly. Women of tho North, as you road of tho sorrow of thoso of your sex of tho South, those you havo boon taught to hate, those who have suf? fered beyond their strongth, as you read | of their love for those who fought for I thorn, let your hearts warm and soften for thoso who never wronged you. As you sit down to run your jeweled fingers over pianos, harps and guitars, if these instruments bo the ones your sons or hus? bands stolo from Southern homes and sent North as trophies of thoir brave? ry, (?) lot your fingers draw forth at least one strain of sadness and sorrowful mel? ody in remembranco of tho ones your stolon musical instruments rightfully be? long to. And as your oyos rost on rings, pins, and other jewelry stolen from Soulh? orn women, let your hearts go down to tho land of ashes and graves, and ruined homes, and noo from whence come these mementoes you so glory over. _ And when you sweeten your toa from silver tongues, or sip it from silver spoons sent you from Southern homes, think for one moment on the bitter tears shed on memorial day by tho ones whoso initials aro on thoso things, or wore on before you had them made ovorto hidotho ugly marks. Thank God, tho vandals who disgraced the names of American soldiers, and who plundered defonseless Southern homes under tho sanction of Lincoln and Stan ton, had not the power to beat back the God-given right to shod tears, and to hold sacred in memory tho ones who wore to them dear and worthy. They havo lost their homes?thoy havo lost their lovod ones?they havo pillowed their, hoads on tear-wot graves, and given us ronewed faith in tho purity and goodno** of woman.?La Crosse (Wis.)
