Robson, Commission Merchant, Charleston.? Mr. R is well known thioughout the up country os a man eminently worthy of the con6 I denco and patron tge of planters mid other persons needing his sei vices. The diouglit still continues in this vicinity and is most distressing in its effects upon the crops. The rno-t serious apprehensions are expressed for the future. We have heard of light showers in portions of the District, but there has been no general rain for over five weeks. Public Meeting. We wore ?1 to gee the interest manifested in the meeting held at the Court llou-e on Monday to appoint delegates to Columbia.? The meeting was well attended l?y prominent citizens ft out vat ions portions of the District. The proceedings are published elsewhere. The Charlotte Times, By a recent arrangement this valuable ex change receives the telegraphic repot ts as early as the daily papets ofRichmond. The news therefore, will thus reach this vicinity through the Daily Time* sooner than by any other paper. We published last week the report of the difficulty between (Jen. Sickles and Judge Bryan's Court in Charleston *>?. - v, ...V IV..MVI I I 11 > I I I to obey a writ of habeas corpus issued by the latter. The .Washington correspond en t of the HWW says, in allusion to the afliur, that the telegram from (Charleston announcing (hat Stan* ton liao sustained the contemptuous disregard of the writ of habeas corpus exhibited by Gen. Sickles, excites no little astonishment in well" informed circles here, as it is well known that the President had determined two days ago to issue a pcrcmptoiy order to fbcklesto obey tbe writ and to sntrender the prisoners concerned into the custody of the court. But it seems that Stanton was ahead of the President in sending instiuctions to Sickles. The President now lias the matter undo> advisement, and it is believed that he will yet revcise the orders ot the tyrant of the War Depai tir.eut. The War in Europe. The latest foreign intelligence, w Inch our readers will lind elsewhere in this paper, is of the highest interest. A gicut buttle had been fought, in which the Austiiatia suffered a disas trouH defeat at ilie hands of the Prussians und Italians. It is thought that she is about to give up the contest. Th? telegram tells us that she agrees to cede Volte tiu, asks for an armistice Iroin Prussia, and proposes to refer the questions between herself and Prussia and Italy to tho mediation of the French Emperor? ' that Napoleon hus accepted the ollieeof mcd>a tor, and telegraphed to the Courts of iiesiin 1 and Italy o3~"riiig his reivices? and that in commercial circl ? ii> Loudon, peace was rc. | guided as virtually declared. I rom Washington. < The advices from Washington, which wo Bum 1 up and publish in thu ppropriute column, will be found to possess unusual interest.. Washi I ington, as the (.'aroliitiun reinaiks is in an up- I roar. The resignation of Dctmison as Tost* i master General, his leiircment from the Cabinet, 111<5 known antagonism of Stanton and , Harlan, and the possible withdrawal of Atior- 1 ] ney-General Speed, are events of no ordinary significance. They indicate that the President is fninly adhering to h's policy, and that come what may, it shall he main tuned. The heads of office holders in the West ha"e been under the guillotine for some time past, and the countiy will hail with satisfaction the fall of * those who have ruled in the I igh places of the nation. Seward, on tlm other h?ml *i?-it.. I ...o-u.; stands by tlio < liief, "smells the battle alar on*,'' f and rends the signs of a coming struggle in ( which radicalism must go by the board. The t call for a Union Convention has disconcerted j all the opponents of the admitiisti aeon, and created a political excitement that is destined * to revolutionise 'he country. Let the.cou<h do ' its duty in this crisis, respond to the invitation I extended, send forward its representatives, j show its hand, and all will go well jet. There | is a silver lining to the clouds. "Southern Loyalists." c A party styling thensselees "loyal unionists , of the South" have Issued s call lor a Conven* tion to be held in Philadelphia on the first n Monday in September. Thyiarty is sild to be 'i composed principally of Northern men, who ti have settled in the South since (he war. The f( call is numerously e'tmed by person# hailing tj from (ha Southern Sta's, not one of whom, we f, sre glad to say, pin ports to be from South Carolina. The New York Ilerald in epesking '' oI the object of this Convention, says it Is no *j - lilittoJh . I I ! doubt stai t?d partly for the purpose of offsetting the conservative convention iu August, but : mainly to lay the foundation (or a negro suffrage party. At ihis convention the Hamilton*, Bottsea and Stokes of the South, the Qerrit Smiths, Fred QouglassA and Wendell Phillip, eesof the North will no doubt all gather and lay down the creed of the negro suffrage party, on the basis of lands and ballots lor the negro. : Thus wc shall have within the neat two months two parties organized to take the place of the orescnt OriMtiizaliona. The Republican party is In its death Strug1 gle, and there is as great commotion over its final bui ial and the birth of the new party as there was in 85 6 over the inauguration of the Republicans. This gathering in Philadelphia in September is toporfoun the midwife cere* monies of the party which is to lalce the place of the Into Republican organization, such is to enter the contest as the sole opponent of the party inaugurated by the convention iu the same city in August. District Meeting. Under the recent address of Governor Orr, advising that the Stale of South Caro linn, in common with the other Southern States, should be icj>re<ented in the National Union Convention, to assemble in the city of Philadelphia en the 14th of August next, a colisiii* r.-.ble number of the people of lutnc.is'er District from ddfert-nt parts of the District met this day in the Court House.
