A. McKenzie, to return his thanks to the numerous friends, who have solicited him to become a candidate for a seat in the next Legislature, to state, that he consents to do so?but sincerely hopes, that, at his advanced age in life, and under the peculiar circumstances in which the country is now situated, that it will not be expected of him to canvass the District. ' ORDINARY'S ELECTION. According to the ordinance of the Convention, this election was held on Monde" last, and the votes counted on Tuesday, with the following result: 'John A. Brown, 347; Jas. M. Hope, 807; Jerome C. Miller, 262?majority for Brown, 40. The vote is very small, being but 916 against 2334 of the preceding election. With due respect to all parties, we congratulate the District on the election of a very efficient officer. THE NEWSThe statement last week that our troops under Kirby Smith had entered Cincinnati was premature. They were ten miles North of Cyntkiana, which, with the usual disposition to lie of madame Rumor, caused the mistake. . As our army has crossed the Potomac, the news from them must be looked on with a view*to possibilities, for much of it we will have to depend on northern channels. For the location of our trooDs. all is speculation, so we refer * ' * " 1 to the news head, to be taken for what it is worth. CONFEDERATE CONGRESS. This body oontinues to discuss in the House, numerous n/ethods of evading the Conscription Act as passed by the Senate. The public mind has settled down to the conclusion, that Conscription is the only fair means of raising %the army to its proper standard, and that the opposition to 'it, is tending to favor the rich, and also ^o breed more speculators, whose enormous gains enable them to pay any price, while the poor man has to leave his family at their mercy. The Secretary of "War has recommended that substitution be not allowed, except in certain cases, where the person applying may be employed in some useful mechanical occupation, which will doubtless be the next bone of contention, if the Conscription cannot be set aside. ' An Act has passed the House to the effect "that it shall be the duty of the Secretary of War to transfer pny private or non-commissioned officer who may be in a regiment from a State of this Confederacy other than his own, to a regiment from his own State, whenever sneh private Or non-commissioned _ _ officer may apply for such transfer, and whenever such transfer can be made withoutvnjury to the public service; and the Secretary of War shall make regulations for executing such transfer : Provided, That this Act shall not apply to any one who has enlisted as a substitute." A resolution has been introduced complimenting Gen. Lee's troops in crossing, the Potomac, but was deferred, as Mr. Lyons, of Virginia, thought that the information from our army in Maryland was not such as to justify the adoption of the resolution. EDITORIAL ITEMS. The high price of leather has led to various resources for procuring a good " article. Several saddles were relieved of their skirts last week, from horses actually hitched in the most public parts of the' town. This looks bad for our urban population. Governor Vance, of North Carolina, was inaugurated on Monday, the 8th inst. His address is spoken of by all the papers as a highly patriotic one. * Governor Pickens' message to the President ia rather piquaiTt?he leaves the other Governors to speak for themselves. The reports are ably written, but show more of a disposition to sustain the existence of the Convention than to enlighten the public mind on the matters in charge. W e are indebted to the Guardian office for three pamphlets, being the Report from chief of the Department of Justice and Police. No 1 is devoted tc the Powers of the Convention; No. 1 to the Powers of the Governor and Executive Council; and No. 3 to the speci al action of tfcfl|Department of Justice and Police. To-morrow, Thursday, is the day sel apart by President Davis, as one oi Thanksgiving and Prayer, which we hope will be duly observed, for trulj have we cause to be thankful for the blessings that have attended our cause T. J. Sumner, Esq. has taken the Superintenelency of the North Caroli na^Central Road, and Mr. E. Ilurlburl has been appointed to the Charlotte road in his place. The habeas corpus has been suspenpended in Atlanta, Ga.-?Small Pox is near - there?at Fairburn, Palmetto, Newnan, and at Grantsvillfe. The London Herald says it would be r; the salvation of the Northern States if Europe would immediately forbid the sl continuance of the war. The Government, owing to its limited r transportation facilities, and the im. mense demand on them for military purposes, has found it necessary to forbid the passage of citizens over the ^ Orange and Alexandria Rail Road.? This is a great hardship upon the parents and relatives of the wounded of Manassas, but that it was a very necessary step requires but little reflection. Would hen-roosts be so often invaded, if the law requiring tickets from ne- ' groes selling chickens were enforced in ja few instances ? On the 4th instant, receiver Lake : sold, in Chester, at public auction, for : cash, 73 shares Bank of Chester stock, ; at prices ranging from $80.25 to $31 per share. Price of original stock, ' $25.00 a share. It is stated in quarters whose infor- < mation is entitled to be considered en- * tirely trustworthy, that the Yankee <( Government has' at length fully deter- . mined to arm, drill and discipline the J blacks of the Department of the South. '' Comparisons are said to be "odorous." 1 "Writing of Pope, the Examiner says: i "Never did a cock that crowed so loud 1 lose his comb so quickly." ] Maj. John M. Whilden, the first stu- 1 dent of the York Military School, was killed in the late battle, while leading \ his charge for the fourth time against ; the enemy that had repulsed them thrice, the last being successful, but costing his j life. ( Col: John Y. Moore, formerly editor of the Anderson True Carolinian, we regret to learn, has died of the wound received at the head of his regi- ( merit, at ivxanassas. ne was u. ujuuci ( gentleman, and a true patriot; having i sealed his devotion to his principles I with his blood. ' \ The Governor of Delaware has issued r his proclamation postponing the draft c in that State until the 25th of Septem- t ber, in consequence of the enrollment * not having been completed. ^ The Hon. D. F. Jamison, President t of the Convention, is nominated forGovernor, by a writer in the Q-uardian. 1 So is Lieut. Col. Preston. We learn that the officer in charge of the Camp of Instruction, at Columbia, c will shortly have a correct list of de- i faulters published, many errors having r been made by the compiler from the re- J turns. ' ; i A Northern paper states that the s rebel steamer Nashville has reached Sa- e vannah through Warsaw Sound, with a ^ large cargo of powder and arms.' t Vigilance Committees have been s formed in several of the interior towns f in Georgia, to prevent the buying' up and taking away the prime necessaries e of life; and requiring that all foreign- ^ ers, Jew or Gentile, local or transient, r be required to leave said towns. The c people of York, perhaps, will have to * [follow some such course, unless they * wait to be starved out by the vagabond a [set who pay us weekly visits from Columbia and Charleston. One fellow has r engaged nearly all the butter in the c | District, at a high price, which he will r call for at stated times. t | We are pleased to learn that the late s Gen. Gadberry was not a Yankee, as at g ! first*published. We would also state i that he has a nephew resident at Rock r Hill, Mr. R. M. Kerr, now an officer in i the army. ( The Convention struggles hard for a 1 continued existence. Amidst its latest t throes is a mercurial attempt to condemn the action of Mr. Davis and his 1 Cabinet, which will not succeed, howev- \ er. Every day the body continues in 1 action but adds to its unpopularity with 1 the people. Our candidates are not < called on to express themselves, for i their opinions are known to be a unit < on the subject of its dissolution. j Several of our wounded have returned home, but from a large number, even ; there whereabouts cannot be ascertained. We hope soon that mail facilities 1 will be afforded to remedy the evil com-ji plained of. THE STATE CONVENTION Convenned at the Capitol on Tuesday the 9th inst., at 12, M., was organized, and adjourned to the next day, ; after reading the message of Governor O O Pickens, which will be found on our first page. ^ On the 10th, Mr. Phillips, the new member from Charleston, presented the ' following Ordinance, which was refer '! ed to a special committee, consisting of '[Messrs. Phillips, Richardson, Duno' vaiit, Ii? J. Davarit, C. P. Sullivan, ' Ingraham, and W. P. Finley: 1. Be it Ordained by the people of '<!

That the said sec- ^ retary of the treasury shall make a re- 1 port of all his official accounts to the r Governor, to be transmtited to, and ex- r amined by the Legislature, and that he j, receive for his services such compensation as the Legislature may deem proper.

That all ordinances, resolution, . or orders of the Executive Council, pro- ' fessing or purporting to alter or amend r any act or resolution of the General (] Assembly of this State be, and the same t are hereby.repealed, except such as the . Governor may deem necessary to th? 1! safety of the State; in which event they c shall continue in operation and of force t" until otherwise altered or amended by a the legislature. ' . It was moved that the Governor and Council be requested to communicate to this body the number of all the ap- v plicants for office in their gift, and the s result of such application. ? > Mr. Middleton presented an ordinance to amend the fourth section of the first article of the Constitution, re- b jpecting the qualification of voters.? t< Eie moved that the ordinance be refer- ( -ed to "the Committee on the Constitu- ^ ;ion, and so it was referred. The ordilinance is as follows: >. . V? AN ORDINANCE' .

These n contend for the right of the State to j, aise her quota of troops as she may leem proper, and conflicts with the con- ^ icription Act of the Confederate Con 8 jress, which were laid over. p Mr. Rhett, - of Charleston, offered esolutions to the carrying on of inter- . lal improvements hy Congress, as dninstitutional. That none buj slavelolding States hereafter be adn^tted in.0 the Confederacy. t Here, on motion of Mr. Barnwell, j. he Convention went into secret ses^hn, 'or the purpose of considering the reso- a ution offered by Mr. Harllee, removing j ;he injunction of secrecy from the pro- n leedings of this Convention at its for- g mer sessions, and publishing the whole y :>f the proceedings of this body to- r zether. After about an hour spent in secret session, the doors were opened. Mr. Middleton asked leave to take ^ the Ordinance presented by him yester- r rlav nut of the hands of the Commit- 1 tee, and substitute another on the elec- 1 tive franchise, as a mistake in quoting a particular section of the Constitution a occurred in the former. The scope and i meaning of the substitute being precise- I ly the same with that exception, which was granted. r On Friday, the Committee of 21, to ] whom was referred the Governor's Mes- t sage and aJ?c^Thpteying Reports, re- s ported that the matter thus referred r had received their careful consideration r ?that they have discovered nothing in i the proceedings of the Governor and Council, which require any special ac- f tion on their part, in the way of repeal, modification or animadversion. They \ defend the Council and Convention, and 1 complain of the confusion into which 1 they have been thrown by the action of . the Confederate Government, and claim > that "By the services they have ren- ] dered, they have placed the State'un- t der obligations which those only can * appreciate who have had the opportu- j nity of examining their records." They ( commend the Reports, especially that' I f Justice and Police, and are of opin on that though the records of the Gov irnor and Council, as contained in thei iQok of minutes, would tend to harmc uze conflicting views of State policy f printed, they are. deterred fror caking such recommendation by it ;reat extent, and the great expens hat would be involved. They recom cend that the injunction of secrecy b emoved, and the record be open to th nspection of the citizens of the State On Saturday, Mr. Rhett's resolution iffered Thursday, were taken up, whei dr. Quattlebaum offered an amendmen o the first resolution, to the effect tha his Convention, having before deter oined what it conceived to be the ex ent of the powers of the Confederat Jovernment, did not now deem it pro ier to reiterate them. Mr. Quattlebaum moved to lay th emaining two resolutions of Mr. Rhet pon the table, which motion prevailed Quite a spirited debate sprung up 01 he motion to lay the report of th Committee on the table, to whom wa eferred an Ordinance to repeal an Or linance suspending certaih portions o he Constitution, which prohibited min 3ters of the Gospel, judges and offi ers of the army, from holding seats ii he Legislature.

The Richmond papers of the 13tl iring us interesting details of the move nnnfc nf mir armips in Mar-eland am Pennsylvania. We select the follow ng: The Richmond Enquirfi' says : The Confederate army is said to b it Hanover, York county Penn., w hie' s thirty-five miles south of Harrisburp ,'t is a village of 1,200 inhabitants.Philadelphia is distant from Harrisburj me hundred and six miles. The roai rom Hanover to York, and thence t jancaster, would seem to be the rout o Philadelphia that our^irmy is pur uing?perhaps General Jackson is ai er that "old pub. func." Buchanan.fhe distance by this route cannot b nore than one hundred and twent; niles to Philadelphia. [A correspondent, writing to th ditors of the Enquirer from Warren on, Virginia, September 8, says : "1 :ourier arrived here last evening fror jeyond the Potomac, and reports Gen Till is now in Hagerstown, and tha ve had a fight at Poolesville, where w saptured one thousand prisoners and arge quantity of commissary stores.STine divisons had crossed at Leesburp [n crossing the canal, a boat was cap ured filled with salt, corn, &c.

The.rebel loss is believed to , be less, as they fought under .cover.? _ Gen. Banks burned his own baggage train, and destroyed three other trains of the.Union army loaded with supplies. I Siegel was wounded in the hand. The r rebel Gen. Ewell is reported killed, and t Jackson wounded. One thousand surgeons had arrived at Washington, vol unteering their services. Tfie corridors and passages of the Capitol are occuX pied for hospital purposes. Thousands r upon thousands of stragglers are in the rear of the Union army. The Confed' erates held the battle-field on Saturday. The Cincinnati Oommercial says that ' -Bull Nelson was wounded in-the thigh t at the Richmond, Ky.,-- battery, and - was carried -sixteen miles to a fence r corner, where he was dropped, but escaped finally; with difficulty he succeeded in getting to Cincinnati. Gen. Manson was taken prisoner and Gen. 3 Crofts killed. The battle lasted twelve hours, and the defeat was total, ending } in a panic and disgraceful flight'on the - 2d. Lew Wallace was in command. In i Cincinnati, Newport and Covington, the ? steamboats and street cars had stopped running 'and all business was suspended. r The citizens were ordere d to prepare for -i the Union troops, who had evacuated 1 Cynthiana.

Buell's army is said to have left Nashville, taking the Edgefield road to Bowling Green. General Uragg is in full chase of him. The 1 Register, extra^ of. to-?ay, contains a } letter from Morgan's command, giving 1 glorious accounts of the progress of our . cause.

They stati i that the Yankees, upon.the approach o our forces, had destroyed vast quanti ties of valuable army stores which hat been accumulated at Frederick. Th< [citizens of Maryland are zealously or ganizing throughout their State, ant especially in Baltimore, to avenge thei long sufferings.

She was allowed toremain while one of hfcr Offi cers went to London; but she was or dered to leave on his return, withou repairs and without coal. The English journals have very little to say on American affairs. The Lon don Time* sarcastically refers Genera McClellan to his strictures on the AI lies on the conduct of the war in th< Crimea, and asks how his own proceed ings will stand the test of these stric tures ? It treats the affair at Culpep per Court House as a most signal dis comfiture for Gen. Pope. The Londoi Morning Herald denounces the* con tinued violations of the laws of nation; by the United States Navy, and com plains of Earl Russel's apathy. j "The South Cannot be Conquer 'ed."?A correspondent of the Balti more "American" writes to that papei as follows: s The return of the army to "Washing ton is a great mortification in militar circles, and it will doubtless be one o equal mortification to the whole coun try. After fifteen iflonths' of toil an< bloodshed we have now returned to th starting point, and the whole work ha to be commenced over again. The Con federates may now again reiterate thei: ; assertion with some show of plausibility "that the South cannot be conquered.' j There cannot be said to be any panii here, but the mortification is great am the disappointment so deep ^raht ever man seems to carrv his feelings jn hi; countenance. There are also rumors here this even ing of a change in the Cabinet, but- j think they are unfounded.
