He - ai 1 thc cal! was made by a*committee,
the majority of whom were from tbe llepub

whole Courontior.. Ht concluded by invok

occupy nearly all of that large quadrilateral.
The Convention tha'. is to- assemble within
three weeks will-be the largest and most im
portant, body of statesmen ever conveoed in
America. ?h"e wisdom and .forethought of
the Nutional Union Johnson Club pf this city
in erecting it is commendable. Without it

A RADICAL YARN.-The Nashville, Press
mid Times give? thc following os part of the
proceedings in G.illat'm, on the 4th of July :
* The flag was not only torn down, but tbe
blaspheming aud saorilegions Union haters*
acm illy tied one end to the tail of a cow and
the other end of it to tue tail of a dog, and
then drove them pell moll through thc streets,
while tue ?icivd symbol of the country* wak

Is Boori! DEA*?-In tbe Senate, on Sat
unlay, .pending tue bill dividing the award.-i
(or tho i.-apture of Mr. Davis aud of the as-a9
s ns u? President Lincoln, Mr. Dav's, of Ken
tucky, -aid :
. II -would like to have satlafactory evi
:MIC-J that Booth was killed. He hud uever
.??en any. He bad heard nothing oat rumor.
He would much prefer if Bubla had beon
raptured alive. Perhaps he was dead? but

A DUEL.-We leam from a gentleman who
was near the scene, that a duel was fought
ai Moseley s Ferry, on th?-' Abbeville side of
the Savannah River, on Satanic? morning
last, between a Captain Bitch anti a Mr.
inight, voling lawyers from Elberton,' Ga.

EARLY COTTON.-The Bainbridge Georgian
of the 2?ih inst, mentions samples of cottou
of this years growth, and from two planta
tiftK.? iii its section. This is more lorward
chan ?be cotton crop in this region, and we
pr>uine i* ?riso several wpeks in advance of
the great buik of the cotton in Southern
Georgia.
- ?-..'?
The Thomasville Enterprise says that a
I colored man in that county " planted, and
j lately had iu a prosperous condition, two
acre"- of coll?n, from which be promised him
self much profit, in the fall, when it should go
into tbe market., and looked with pride every j
day upon" his increasing prospect of wealth.
But alas ! Sonic* of his friends told Lim of the
tax on cotton recently passed by Congress,
and when it was explained to him,-so indig
nant did he become, that he immediately
threw down thc fencing and turned in the
stcck'to devour his crop. Cu fi?e thinks cot
to:i planters the mos? ill-used of njp:;, if the
white men ol the South would follow bis ex
ample for one season o/i/y," remarks thc En
terprise, "Congress would return to i's senses.'1
Tirs PRUSSIAN NEEDLE GI N.-A writer in
the Albany Argus says: '""About fourteen
years ago the writer ol* this was introduced
to the inventor of the needlo gun. Ho is a
German gun smith and a native cf Berlin.
We examined his rifle in ali its datai!?, and
took drawings of its several parts. It was
patented in the United States, and the inven
tor visited tris country for the purpose of
inducing our Government, to adopt it lor the
army. Its cartridges were pronounced un
safe for use by the officers of thc Bureau tr
whom it was sent for examination, 1 it the
Prussians know how to uso them, ...id they
are most unsafe to those against whom they
are directed. Probably we have now some
breech loaders equal, if not superior to the
needle gun ; and Wesley Richard*1 English
'Veech loader, which has lately bppn furnish
ed to several British regiments, has a clid'ng !
breech with, a screw joint nearly similar to
that of tb? German Zund Needle."

This is by order of the President, to whom all tho

A Screw Loose Somewhere.
On Friday night last, lhere wai * general Jail
Delivery in Edgefield. One or two white mon
and some ten or a dozcu -negroes quietly walked
out of tho calaboose, and betook themselves
whither they would. Four of them have siuoe
been, apprehended and returned to. jail. Three
or-four monthg'back, something of the.samo sort
occurred : if we pre not mistaken, fuur men es
enped nt that time.
When wc say there is a screw loose somewhere,
we hint at no dark thing, no mystery, no secret ;
but on tho contrary, at lack of vigilance, lack of
watchfulness, lack of system.
In theso days of vile disorder and lawlessness,
when women and children are nni safe in their
beds at night, it will never do to be emptying tho
jails. The great object should bo to get them
fuller and fuller, and lock them still more tightly.

Attention, ye Road Cornml;sioner9.
The Commis.iioners of Roads for tho Lower
Batullinn, 7th Regiment, arc urgontly requested,
new that they have money on band, to tako the
repairing or rebuilding of tb? Horse Creek Bridge,
on tho road from Hamburg to Bath Mill?, into
consideration. For months post we have heard
complaints from that section, both in regard to
tho wretched condition qf tho said Bridge nnd
aiso the roads lending to tho same. Come, gentle
ptaOj to work, and stop the curies, deep and load,
of the wayfarerorer your highways. Tho Editor
of the Augusta Daily J???s speaks thus in refer
ence to this matter:
HORSE CREEK BRIDGE.-Surely, tho readors o?
the Cojittititiionaliit have not forgotten the timely
editorials wbioh appeared in that journal last
winter, calling attention to the dilapidated condi
tion of Hoise Croek Bridge, and urging npon
those charged with thc management of the public
roads, leading from thic city to tbe Carolina Dis
tricts, tbe necessity of immediately repairing both
roads and bridge. Up to this time that appeal
hos been, in the ears of the said commissioners
(if there be Buch in existencias "a sounding
brass and tinkling cymbal." Mud excepted, the
roads continue just as they were then-broken
and bard to travel; and the bridges, particnlarly
the ono most used-thut over Horse Cjeek-has
grown worse by degrees and threateningly dan
gerous.
We trust that the proper authorities will attend
to this matter at once. Tbe safety of man and
boast require it-thejpublic good demands it. '

it is.in Washington-for the purpose of revising

thc intorosts of the former as. well as of thc latter.
But on thc Commission ure also-some bad wen ;

As to Parson french, Mr. Ben Truman's late

The Life and Campaigns of Stonewall
Jackson?
The name of Lieut. Geni. T. J. JACKSON
known to fame as " STONEWALL JACKPOK"-com
mands the attention, tho honor, the love, of the
whole civilized world. No Southern man can see
or hear that name without feeling his mind fall
of tho noble associations connected,with the his
tory of tho man. It is a-nome which awakens
innumerable memories of glory and sadness.
A history of his lifo and campaigns hos been
written by Prof. BADJTBT, of the Union Theologi
cal Seminary, Virginia^ one of the most eminently
gifted men of that grea? Stato.. Buring the bril
liant and ever-memorable campaigns of thc Val
ley and th? Chickahominy, hewas Gcnl. JACKSON'S
Ckicf "of Staff.
He has produced a reliable, well-arranged, clear,
elegant, eloquent and judicious book.
We bave received li from the National Publish
ing Company, 211 Seventh Street, Richmond, Ya.,
and read its every line with proud and mournful
interest. It ?3 handsomely bound, and contains a
remarkably fine*steel portrait of tho great Chris
tian hero. Every Southorn family should have
this'book, and every Southern boy and girl sbould.
be made ti read it.

A Riot of Grand Dimensions.
In New Orleans, which is full of Radical devilf
and devilish negroes, an attempt was made, about
ten days ago, to hold a Radical Convention, hav
ing for itsprime objects the arraying of the negro
against tho*' white man, and the permanent eleva
tion of the former over the latter. At the head
of this movo was a oflhy German abolitionist
named Hahn, who before the close of the wot,
was 'the bn^us Governor ?f Louisiana. This
so-called Convention melin thc M tc barde's Insti
tute of New Orleans. TwAty-six members were
present at. its opening. Tho streets of the. city
were filled with excited negroes. Several regu
larly organized negro regiment?, with banners
flying and drums heating, marched tn the Me
chanic's Institute, to gnard and uphold tho ses*
sipns nf tnc Convention. So incensed and out
raged were tbe native inhabitant of New Orleats,
that the whole city blazed with excitement. In
discriminate firing occurred in some of the streets,
resulting in tho death of a considerable number
of persons both white and black
The police and the populace finally beseigei:
! Ihr Institute, which was filled with an immense
: mob of radical' nud negroes, and finally compelled
j thnlnttpr to nnrrnnder ina body; not, however,
before a sharp figh't had tak.n pince, in tho cours?
of which fifty or sixty, melly negroes, were
killed. We ore delighted to .--hroniele th* fact

then arrested and eonGn*J ; afirr which cornpara

telegrnphtd to President JOHNSON for instructions,

chosen from the people of the wbolo State. The

The Sub.Marine Telegraph.
Fortune hos favored the brave. The indomita
ble effor'ts of the projector (Cyrus V". Field, of
Stockbridge, Mass.) and frionds of the Sub-Marine
Telegraph between Europe and America, have at
last been crowned with complete success. Iho
electric cable now stretches its unbroken length
from Valentia Bay on the South Western coast of

ment on tho Eastern coast of Newfoundland. It
works perfectly and bas already become an abso
lutely recognized institution. Tbo Augusta pa

eyer sinco tho surrender, a partial repullationist,
and if he will again read my article ol the 11th
of July, he will find that I therein, held firmly tn-,
the principle, and gave my reasons for it; atd
that the 50 per cont tax suggested was so intended,
which I then thought, and think yet, was very
clearly shown ; consequently I- acknowledge my
self wholly unable to soe the great atica/to? to
tolee, thejuoblcm to unravel, thc contradiction of.
term?, and so on, to which be alludes a id asks to
have explained,
Now,.Mr. ",OCEOLA," os I trust I have made
the bateh of inconsistencies alluded to Ly you, at
least in some degree intelligible, I witt ta?o tbe
liberty of proposing a plan, and nru wiUfcg to
aid in carrying it'out, which I am sure would eu
perscde^the necessity of Lawyers, Judges and
Courts, and of course would be virtually demo!
ishing that tribunal, as suggested by y u, for the
relief of our suffering people. There is another"
Court, my dear Sir, which appears to be always
in session, and from which all our lawsuits origi
nate, presided over by one Beelzebub, rometimofl
called Lucifer, whose great ruling eba: gc is, do
?of unto.others os yon would.have them, under
similar and like circumstances, do unto you ; and
apon that charge all tko rest of his charges hxag.
Now if we nan manage to demolish Lis Court,
rorerse bis great ruling charge, and then succeed
in prevailing on both creditor and debtor to be
governed by no other principle, than "Jo unto
others as you would have them do unto you," my
word.upon it, tho debts would all soon be satis
factorily settled without the aid ef Lawyers,
Judges or Courts, which might perhaps get np a
little vinegar-like appearanco among the Lawyers,
bat.we coald'nt help that I am rath jr of the
opinion however, Mr. " OCEOLA," that rou are a
little hard down on the Lawyers. For my part,
I am inclined to look upon them as a bitter class
of mon than, you seem to regard them. Why, Sir,
I bavo on some, occasions heard them quote scrip
ture, apparently very fervently, and same pas
sagos they not only quote, but really act out with
more diligence than almost any other class of
men. Fer instance, the passage that says the
laborer is worthy of his hire. Now Z am not
particularly certain that tho passage eiys the
hire shall bo paid in gold, or in advan :e, but I
reckon it dees, as tho Lawyers all takct r require
? their hire in that way ; and they are mighty good
generally at both linders tandis g and remember
ing passages that have money ii then. Then
