Goi.r?tr.i.\, September 18. The Convention lints ?Minted a resolution appoint ing an agent to visit Washington and attend to pardons ami the lands seized by tho Frecdmen's liureau. Tho Committee reported favorably on oxtondlng to four years tho period for which the Govornor jnay be elected, and against dividing l'ickcns into tlTO Districts. _ COLUMBIA CORRESPONDENCE. [Fltoai OU? OWN COERESPOSDEST.] Coiajm?U, Beptombor IG. To-day hns been devoted entirely to InuiiuoBs by ihc Convention. Report followed Report from tlur permanent Committees, and Resolution after Res olution was referred to them for consideration. There was no wasting of time. booansQ nothing came before the body over which time could he Tras tod. There was no speech-making, bocanso there was no business before the Convention on which the orators could expend their wit, show their eloquence, or even talk to their dlfibrout con stituencies. No question came up in a shape in -which any member could make capital for the Le gislature, for Congress, or for the United States Senate; and the consequence was, that the day was spent in work. It is true, that the considera tion that it was Saturday, and that tho members, from a time-honond custom, desired to get away early on that day, may have had something to do -with the matter. On the resolution of Mr. Macbeth, that negroes be enabled to testify in the courts, there is neces sarily differences of opinion, and it will probably give rise to much debate whenever reported hack -from the committee. All right-minded men feel that tho negro is not to bo blamed for ihc position into which he' has been suddenly thrown by the rapid events of a revolution; and I am sure that every one will agree that pome method should be adopted to protect him in his newly acquired po sition. But what that method should be, is a proper matter for wide differences of opinion. The negro, from a protected and weaker class, has heen mado a competitor?still retaining his phys ical and mental inferiority?with the white man in the struggle for bread, and unless a wise and be neficent systcni of legislation is adopted, lie must sink under the competition, and the country will bo deprived of four millions of peasants, whose la hor is necessary for the present welfare of the Southern States, and the proportion of loss in this State will bo greater than in any other. To our prosperity two things are at present necessary : that each man should labor sufficiently to provent pauperism, and that until white babor can be in troduced from abroad, that tho negro should bo protected in the enjoyment of the fruits of his la lior, so that ho may labor with pleasure. I do not Lelicvo that tho negro can stand long beforo tho competition with the white man, and I believe that he must eventually either die out or emigrate. The Banatory rules adopted and practised by the United States army in its passage through the Southern States, ancf tho remarkable health of that army, seem to hare demonstrated that the white man can live and labor in malarious dis tricts. If this bo true, it will not take many yoars?at least many in tho life of a nation?to substitute white labor for black; and as emigration pours in the negro, like the Indian, must disappear beforo the white man. This, it seems, must ovontnally be liia fate; but while ho is with us, justice, hu manity and self-interest demand that he shonld be protected in his newly-acquired rights. In what mannor this can be most wisely* done, is a matter that demands the gravest consideration. Ho is i ignorant, stupid, a liar, and not unfrequcntly a 1 thiof, and it may well bo doubted whether bis ability to givo testimony would servo us much in arriving at tho truth of the statements of a class liabitually regardless, if not ignorant, of tho obli gations of an oath. As betweon themselves, it would be well that in all civil cases both plaintiff and defendant should bo hoard as woll as other witnesses; but as between the negro and tho white man it m difficult to say what course should bo adopted. This Govornmont, by tho abolition of slavery, has bocomo entirely the goTcrnment of the white man, and tho delegate? of tho peoplo of this State, in protecting the negro, are bound to take such mooBures as will not place tho white man in tho powor of thoBO who have reoently become his antagonists and competitors in tho atrugglo for doily support. If your correspondent reads tho signs correctly the Senatorial and Congressional cue is being ground on the grindstone called "tho ' parishes," and on the other grindstone colled "popular elec tions." The chango generally desired through ?befitste could bo effected by .a Constitutional Cwfojotion; but before euch body c-puhi moot, Itapresciitativ.* and Senator? tu Congreso would . have l>ccn elected, ?uni those ou the "auxiotw j neat" woa?tl ::<?t have shown "their record lo llic i country." Your correspondent doca uolimpoarhj the conduct of any gentleman who is a member "!' ; I bai Convention. Each man has a right to mal:? I tip liia rooord when ho pleases, and no ono eau ' <l ?bt tho conscientious sincerity of liio opinion* of those advocating the changes to bo made; lint I from what your correspondent has soon of Ihr j members of Uiat Convention, ho would like lo neo j -mac noch men a? Chancellor Inoi.is ami Judge W_an__w .sent to tho Sonate, us ho bcllovca that ! the Intercala of tho Ktnle would not only bo nato ?!i their hands, but lie is also credibly informed ! ? that tho President, who i.s anxious to restore tho | Southern States to tlieir political rights, is desi nnis?to use a. fashionable phrase in politics?of taking the wind out of the Radical nails, and wishes tlie .Southern States to aid liim by sending now men to Washington. Your fellow-townsman, Jami:s Conner, shows in the Convention tho same clear head that he lias always shown at tho bar, and evidences tho briiic manhood as he has done on previous occasions on the field of battle. If the North wanted proof of the sincerity of this State, it could have none higher than that of a General of tins Confederate army, who liad lost a leg in tho defence of wlia t he helicvcd the right, standing with a mutilated limb, reminding bitu constantly of the baptism of blood through which we havo passed, and earnest ly and honestly accepting the result of the war, and working for the restoration of the State to bar place in the Federal Union. -0 * - Trade in New York. The following, from the Independent, tells some facts which will open the eyes of our country couina: New York merchants in old limes used to enjoy two business seasons, one in the spring and the other in fall, mid-suinmor and mid-winter being devoted to running about, Mottling up accounts, ami making preparations for the next season. Hut the facility O? communication with all parta of the country has changed the whole business rela tions of the city and the country, and the busy svoeon now extends from January to January, i Out-of-town customers buy moro sparingly, but liqjroftcner, and the now system is immensely bet ter lor all parties. Credit is curtailed by it, and Mu danger of laying in too largo a slock is avoided. Tor the past two or three years our merchants have had a busy season all the year round; but business bas never liefore been so lively in what used to be the dullest heason of the year, in July an-l August, as daring the pant two months. The opening of trade with the South ha? given an im- ! petit? to business which is a surprise to the most sanguine. The great difficulty with importers and I jolliers is to keep up their stocks. Most of tho j goiids imported are sold before they arrive. Extra steamers are sent out by the Cnnarders to bring ! owr the piles of freight that accumulate in the warehouses in Liverpool wailing for transporta tion. The Bremen, ITamburg and Havre, steamers stun at Southampton, to ?lick up the freight sent there from various points of tho continent, and : frota Manchester, Birmingham, and other inland manufacturing towns, which cannot bo taken by the regular lines from Liverpool, while extra steamers are sent across the Atlantic with cargoes i from Glasgow. The increase of traffic with the ? Smith is still more remarkable. There is now three times the amount of steam tonnage employ- i cd in the carrying trade between New York aiid ' the South that there was before tho rebellion. The business of our railways is proportionately large; there is now more cotton stored in Now York than was at any time before tho rebellion: our manufacturera are all fully employed, ana several new establishments are unable to increase their business from a lack of labor. An agent for a Southern house, one day last wool;, went to a certain jobbing dry goods houso to lili an order, ami was told that no more goods could be sold that day, as they had already sold, ninco morning, three hundred thousand dollars worth, and they could take no moro orders untij they had packcil and shipped what they had already sold*. And this was to a cash customer. Tho order of the -?resident removing all restrictions from trade with tho South after tho 1st of September, ha6 given a atill greater impotus to business, for there were a great many contraband articles which were greatly needed at tho South that are now going forward rapidly. So, busy as our merchants have all been, they arc likely to bo still moro eo during the next two or three months. The Western Corn Cnop?Extraordinary Yield.?An extensive dealer of Illinois informs us that the corn crop of that State promises an ex traordinary yield. It is his opinion that tho new ?iroducts will not bring over 25c. per bnehol in the icld. Tho result is that there in a great demand for stock hogs, and so scarce are these now that, apparently, there are none in the country. Yet it is nia opinion that the next hog crop will bo much larger than is generally anticipated. Hogs are now commanding $12 net for butchers' uso. This is equal to $25 a $30 per head. Tho prico that pork maintains now would justify $12 net for hogs in the packing season. High priced hogs and low priced corn havo raroly failed to result in a full supply of the former, and it is the opinion of our informant that this will be realized this season. Cattlo aro also being bought up in tho same way. Pastures aro excellent, and stock will require no feeding until snow comes. Then feed will be abundant, and the farmers regard it moro profita bly to fatten cattle than rely upon a market for grain. In Ohio and Indiana the corn crop also promises an extraordinary yield, and tho remarks in regard to Illinois apply, in tho main, to thoso States. There is very little, doubt that nogs will open next fall at a liigh figure. Upon this farmer? rely, and the policy they havo adopted eeoms to be a wiso ono. It? effect on the interests of the pork packers is another question.?Cincinnati Gazette. -? ? ? Lahor.?It is really pleaeant to note that ovory day add? tu the li?t, in this city, of those who are getting employment of ono kind or other. Build ings are going up rapidly, and foundations are being cleared for moro. Tho prospect is bright ening for the poor whito man, and wo don't know ono of them who is not anxious to be at work, not one. Under a broiling sun, with the thermometer over 100 degrees, this class work high up on walls, or down deep in foundations, and strive with all ihetr might to make something wherQwH" to sup port their families; and yet, some ono in a lecture dcUvcrcd _nmrn snmn ??National Education Con vention" in Pennsylvania, aays "the poor whites of the South arc moro debased and leas diapoaed to labor than before the war." This ia a miser able slander, and is in keeping with certain corroapon dcuco from this city, which wo' aee occasionally, tho whole aim and object of which is vengeance. We Touch for it, that what are called "tho poor whitos of the South" are as industrious and virtu ous as tho poor whites any where, if not more so.

The railroad oompaniea havo sent agents to the North to arrange with aomo ateamanip company to run two steamers di rect from New York to connect here with the rail road to St. Marks, thence by two more ateamers to Now Orleana. Mr. Niblack, President of tho Florida Central Railroad, haa been very active in hia efforts to effect this arrangement. The depot accommodations need much enlarging.

A Richmond correspondent, dating his letter on the 23d, says: "Yesterday six Swedes arrived here by way of New York. They intend starting for Goochland County, in tho Upper James Vulley. In tho month of May last, a great number of emi grants from that country settled in Goochland County, and they sent to their friends in Europo such glowing accounts of their present condition ami future prospects, that those distant Swedes became infected with the mania of emigration, sold out their ice-bound farms, and aro on their way to the land of promise, the Virginia paradise. The lands they havo "squatted" on have boon sold on the most favorablo terms to these hard working men. They pay for the land by instal ments running over a term of several years, so that even tho poorest can ultimately become the proprietors of the land they cultivate." < ?? TnE Newfoundland Fisheries.? Tho Boston Journal of yesterday says: Our latest dates from Newfoundland spoak of improvements in tho fishery prospects of tho isl and and Labrador, tho accounts recoivod from the latter place being especially encouraging. Tho screw steamer Wolf, the pioneer vessel engaged in the Greenland whale fishery, froni St. Johns, has returned after an absence of about two months, with a full fare, roughly valued at eight thousand pounds. Tho Wolf was engaged in the spring seal fishery, and was successful at that, and it is thought that the success that has attended the first venturo in tho now enterprise will givo her many companions noxt year. Tho failure for yoars back of the shore fishery of tho island has caused merchants to turn their attention to tho bank fishery, several vcsbcIs having been fitted out for ite prosecution this year. > .
