WINNSBORQq_ ibursday 9*'rniier JulY il 1866. W T. P. SLIDER, Esq., i8 the sole agent for this paper in Charleston S. C.. The -Pufflie lettIng on Mondgy. The mectin; bn the 23d, called to select delegates to the Convention to meet in Colunbia on the 1st August, ras pretty' well -attended. The pro ceedings will'be fdund:-in another col idnn. .---W-e have -heard it-intimated-that our failure to publish any notice of the meeting in Tuesday's issue led to the in)pression that we wdre disposed to treat the matter with, at leist, indiffer ence, if not contempt. We positively deny the charge, and challenge the proof for the shadow of such an opin ion. When we differ from' others in opinion, we differ from piinciple and not any petty pique. We are honest in our convictions, but firi, and we yield to none in liberality towards the opinions of others. When we returned, to the office from the meeting all the proof sheets were struck off and awaiting our arri val at the eanctum, the "matter" was made up for the paper ; we read the proof hurried ly with a iew to get off.if possible to attend the funeral of a deceased. friend, and did not get to our dinner until about halt past five o'clock. All that we could have doue iyould be to have announced that the ..meeting took place. The llEatALD which went to press the next day did that, as well as announced who were elected delegates. The Secretary had not an oflicial rc port ready, so we simply. awaited his readiness. We regret to have to notice this inuendo. but our position both in the matter of the business before the meet ing, and in connection with the pres ent entire control of what goes into this paper, compels us to do it. We do not know where it originated, nor. do we car.,, but it i. material that we should refrte the charge come frow what source it may. iNC. The Tuhlic .11crtiiq.

Wl%t-n the vote was taken in 'the hr e tmid a resolutions b elo.v, as to v l', im ted by the committee of five, it sto-Id 23 aga inst the sub.titut ion and 19 for it. Thus it will appear that t he is 'ne Was fairly and s'quarelyv made-oug;l: we to be represented in the Nat iopa:l Convention-and it was decided by a small majority that we shouhi he.

Riesolved, That we, the Citizens of Fairfield District, S. C., deprecate any step on the part of the South that will involve her in greater difficulties thrn those which now surround her. 2- Resolved, That, while we do not object to uniting with any party at the North which will extend i,z aid in our Itehalf, in securing for us equality in time Union under the Constitution, and the seats of our representatives elect in the Co,gress of the United States, still we believe it to be more con f'IPtmable with our interest and self rcspct not to commit ourselves to the enndeimnation ofJcfferson Davis mere ly for the sake of party affiliation ; as il condemning him we condemn our selves. 3. Resolved, That we, too, cordiul ly enderse the restoration policy of President Johnson. 4. Resolved, That we nre now ar dently attrAcd to the Union of the States under the Constitution of the United States ; that we ignore the remedy of secession,and that we deny the power of tie General G- ernment, under the Constitution, to ex6!udc a State from the Union, or to govern it as a territory. 5.

As thi the centre of the hw~b beiQM cl1e cenat.re of the whevel,,ns it, is in any wheel used in. machinery.

But we will explain thia furtha under the next point to be mpde. In regard to the toothed wheel,. th power and resistance (or weight,'< i not bear the sane relation as in wagon wheel. In the toothed wheel of machinery, where the axle is fixed, the centre of matter and the centre of motion agree predisoly. Hence the resis tance in that case is evidently at the circumference of the wheel. In that case the resistance to be over ioie is the secondary wheel. The power being applied to the primary wheel, it must communicate its motion to the secondary wheel, that is to the wheel which cannot move until its leader, ort the wheel to which the pow er is applied, moves. But in the case of the wagon wheel, the inertia of the ground has not to be overcone, and therefore there can be no resistance on the ground against tho motion of the wagon. In regard to the band used to com. municate motion from one wheel to an other, it works on precisely the same principle that the crank does. A band can comnunicate motion to a wheel by huggiag only one-fourth of the wheel, or even, as in case of an idler, by.simply running as a tangent to the.1ircuimforence of the whucl. But of course no practical use could be made of this last motion produced Ly the band. J 3.
