SOLDIERS' CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION. The Soldiers and Sailors approving the Presi? dent's restoration policy, and endorsing the princi? ples announced by the National Union Convention at Philadelphia, have decided to hold their conven? tion at Cleveland, Ohio, September 17th, instead of Chicago, as heretofore announced. The follow Djg is tho call just issued at Washington for the convention: To the Soldiers and Sailors who served in the Arwy and Navy of the United States during the late Rebellion : In pursuance of a resolution of a meeting of sol? diers now or lately in the Union army, held in this city last evening, wo invite those of you who ap? prove t?e restoration policy of the President and the principles announced by the National Union Convention at Philadelphia, to assemble at Cleavc land on the 17th day of September next, for con? sultation on the momentous issuos now convulsing our country. We need not argue to you at length the importance of theso issuos, nor your duty to take part in their settlement. After five years of fierce and bloody war, in which our arms were gloriously triumphant, the Union for which we fought is still practically unrcstored. Why is this 1 We struggled to maintain the rightful supremacy of the general government, to conquer all who in arms disputed its authority, to mako every rebel? lions citizen yield to its laws. We held throughout tho war that the Union is Indissoluble, and its powors, as expounded by its courts, supreme. That no State can of its own motion withdraw, or at the will of its sister States be exoluded, and that the duly of each State to re? main in the Union and its right to take part in the government arc alike absolute. Every object of tho war ever recognized by or ' known to the army and navy has been thoroughly achieved. The Southern people, decimated, im? poverished and subdued, have, for moro than a year past, abandoned the rebellion, and now only ask that the Union for which wo fought may be recognized as existing, and that thoy may be dealt with as tho constitution and laws prescribe. In their anxiety to restore the Union and bring harmony to its councils they have gono beyond a moro silent submission to the laws. Through - their delegates at the National Union Convention they solemnly renounced tho doctrines of nullifica? tion and secession, from which the war arose, re? pudiated the rebel debt, and declared of sacred ob? ligation the national debt; proclaimed the faith of tho nation pledged to the continuance of bounties ' and pensions to loyal soldiers and sailors and their families; declared slavery forever abolished, and the freedmen entitled to equal protection of law in person and property with their former masters. Their platform is not only one of emphatic loyalty, bat it is, moreover, most liberal in spirit on all the great issuos growing out of the war. The character of tho men who represented the " Southern States in that Convention precludes us from believing this enunciation of principles to be insincere. Thoy sent to it their foremost states? men, mon who like Rives, Graham, Orr, Parsons, Sharkey, Houston, Brockenbrough, Hunt, Man? ning and Stephens, wero known throughout the land, before the war, as men of the highest charac? ter and influence. Among tho five hundred dele? gates from the South, there was not a voice or a vote dissenting from the resolutions adoptod by the Convention. If the best of the Southern people aro over to be 1 believed, wo must accept those solemn declarations as sincere. We do accept them as conclusive evi? dence that a great majority of the Southern people, eick of war and anarchy, and longing for a restora? tion of free government, are ready to bear true al? legiance to the Cons titution and the laws of tho Union. We are therefore unwilling to see tho Southern people held longer in vassalage. They arc our oountrymen, citizens of tho United States, who havo incurred penalties, but who have rights.? Those who wilfully participated in the rebellion, and aro unpardoncd, are subject to the penalties prescribed for treason. But, though individuals may be tried, convicted and punished, communities cannot, nor can tho States and their people, with? out a plain violation of the Constitution, be denied the right of representation, through men personally qualified, in the councils of the nation. The intention of Congress seems to bo to deprive them of representation just so long as it suits the purpose of the Radical party. Many assert that it will conccdo tho right, whenever the constitu? tional amendment shall have boon adopted, and each-proscribed State shall havo ratified it. But It is quite certain that the amendment will not be ratified by three-fourths of the States, and there? fore that it will not be adopted. Some, perhaps many of the Northern States will reject it, and we eannot expect its legal ratification by any of tho lately insurrectionary States. If thore wero no other reason why the Southern States will reject it, it is enough that it proposes to disfranchise nearly all the men of tho South who havo influonoo ?wer the masses of the people. If none wore to be disfranchised except officers ?? the Rebel arnry, wo still could not expect the South to adopt it, for a large majority of men in the lately insurrectionary States through compul? sion or choice served in tho Rebel armies, and their vote alone would overwhelmingly defeat iL Would Union soldiers, to recover political privi? leges, disfranchise their leaders whom they love ?andrevore for their heroic virtues? How, then, can we expect Southern soldiers to disfranchise and degrade their old commanders ? As there is no probability that the amendment will bo ratified by three-fourths of the States, the plan of restora? tion which Congress appears to have determined 00 is at best impracticable. That proposed by tho President and approved by the National Union Convention is feasible, and, ire believe, safo. We have no fear that the South can. ever overthrow tho Federal Government, or even disturb its career of power and glory. They will be the last of the States to rebel, and if they shall again rise in insurrection, the loyal people ean and wiU subdue, and, if need be, destroy them. The government has asserted its power for self preservation, and tho devastation and misery of the South proclaim to this generation at least the erimo and tho terrible penalties of treason. Be holding their woes, and contrasting their -weakness and our strength, we could afford to show the con fidenoe and courage of magnanimity. We might well lot cur vanquished opponents arise, and, like James Fitz James, staunch their wounds and for? give their treason. But we arc not asked to ho magnanimous, but only consistent and just. This we cannot refuse to be without a violation of the Constitution of our country, and risk its utter overthrow. We sock and will havo no association in politi? cal action with men, North or South, who are not avowedly, and, in our opinion, Binccrely faithful to the Constitutional principles for which we fought. But if men who have taught or practiced treason now oponly renounce their errors, and maintain, with us, the true principles of our gov? ernment, wo shall not reject their co-operation, whon the restoration of the Union and the preser? vation of our form of government are in issue. However much wc regret to sever chorishod po? litical associations, and to oo-opcratc with former enemies, we must prefer to act with those who have been wrong and aro now right, rather than with those who wero right and now aro wrong. Believing that our government is again in peril, we appeal to you who have fought to save it, and who hold it dear, and moro sacred than all party lies, to come to the rescue. Let tho soldiers and sailors agreeing with ns in sentiment, but who cannot in person attend, send delegates through the action of their societies or local conventions. Let us meet in force at Cloveland on the 17th of September, the anniversary of tho day when the constitution was proclaimed by our forefathers, and let us aid in restoring tho Union it croated and the liberties it was ordained to secure. -o TROTS. WASHINGTON. Washington, August 25.?Tho Republican de? nounces Stanton, and charges on him the partial responsibility of the New Orleans riots. It says ho withheld from tho President, Bailcy'b despatch of July 28, prior to tho riot, asking for immediate in? structions how to act, and notices tho faot that Stanton did not even answer tho despatch. The President never saw this dospatch until Wednes? day last. Tho committee appointed by the Labor Conven? tion, at Baltimore, waited on tho President to-day. Mr. Hinchliffe, the spokesman, disclaimed connec? tion with any party, in a political sense, or that the movement was for political power. Ho urged that eight hours' labor per day should 1 e logalized; that the public lands should be distributed so as to be reached by laborers, instead of capitalists, and that tho workingmen shall be protected against convict labor. He ask?d the President's assistance to accomplish theso measures for the workingmen. In reply, the President said he was opposed to the present system of convict labor, on account of its unjust, discriminating and degrading influences. He desired to sco labor elevated, and such always had been his position ; his whole history showed he was against monopoly of tho public lands. He was for shortening tho hours of labor to the least number consistent to the interests of all, t d the laboring men could rely upon his inflir .oc when it could bo given in their behalf; they had his sympathies and best feelings in their cause. He hoped they would accomplish their objects. Tue City of Charleston at Present.?It af? fords us real pleasure to re-publish, from the Charleston News, the following satisfactory state? ment concerning tho sadly war-worn Palmetto city: Our much loved city has latterly enjoyod a sea? son of remarkable quiet. The turbulent element of both classes appears to have eithor becomo re? formed or to have been exterminated. The pun? ishment inflicted on the unwary sinner in either tho Mayor or Provost Court may have had a great deal to do with this change; but the probability is that the credit is duo to our police and to Lieuten? ant Hondrick's efficient corps of lynx-eyed detec? tives. As it is, Charleston is fast regaining her normal position. Her onco proud boast that "Charleston is a godly place and full of godly peo? ple," will be again a truism. Sho will rise from her ashes purified by tho struggle through which she has passed. Already eho ranks among her [ sister Southern cities as the most quiet and order? ly. Any disturbance in hor midst is rare and ea? sily quelled. This state of affairs is peculiarly observable on tho Sabbath. Though wc have now no sweot chimes to sound aloud tho call to prayer, yet the churches aro all opened and filled with at? tentive congregations. Our colored population wero alwajs remarkable for their religious fervor. This has been in nowise diminished by recent events. New churches have been purchased by thorn, ar.d popular preachers obtained, and they have, in every respect, exhibited a laudable desire to improve their conditio'!. Tho cry that we arc retrograding, which is now being raised, is no doubt true in many respects; but as long as it tends to increase the order and discipline of our city, it is to be commended. As the Queen City of the South, Charleston never has, and never will, disgrace her name. -* Greelet on Jefferson Davis.?Tho radical papers keep badgering Horace Grcelcy on his po? sition regarding the imprisonment and trial of Mr. Davis, the last twit having been given by Thurlow Weed. H. G. hits back in the following style : "Wc cannot help regarding the imprisonment of Davig as a swindling farce and cheat. He has been kept immured so long that only the wilfully blind can fail, to seo that there is no purpose to try him with any intent to convict. He is kept in jail, awaiting a favorable time to let him out. If tried, there will be a quarter of a million spent on lawyers and witnesses, with no idea of obtaining a verdict. Meantime, the seeming lion is constantly assuring the prey that he is no real lion, but only Snug tho Joiner?compelled to roar and show his teeth to save him from the bloody-thirsty radicals. We refuse to play tho part assigned us in this pal? try business. Tho prisoner is not to ho punished ?ho is not even to bo tried in earnest?stop the farce and let him go I" -o ? Mr. Lang, editor and proprietor of the New Orleans Times, who has been aspersed and misrep? resented by the Piadical press, has authorized libel suits to bo brought against several Northern pa? pers. ? In exhuming the bodies interred in the new graveyard at Mobile, a short time ago, one of the coffins broke, and revealed tho remains of a Fede? ral soldier perfectly petrified, and looking as nat? ural as life. What was further remarkable, ho had not been buried upward of nino months. Tho ground where ho had been buried is low, and damp most of tho year. ? Stock raising is becoming an important fea? ture in Texas. Some sections aro said to bo over? run with cattle, nearly wild, belonging to any ono who has the facilities for catching and branding them. This laxity of ownership, however, is fast being superseded by the arrivals of large numbers of emigrants, who aro settling in those sections. The favor with which the prepared South American beef has been received in Europe has suggostcd the practicability of giniilay enterprises In Texas. . &HIDIBB?(iDff9 So (Do ~~ Thursday Morning, August 30, 18G6. MONEY WANTED. Give ub some assistance; wo need monej, or anything convertible into money ; if you owe as, come forward and settle at least a portion of your indebtedness, cither by cash or produoe. -o-:? "HOW WE APPLES SWIM." Tho Pickens Courier congratulates itself that an? other journal in tho State has been found to assim ilato its own vicarious position in favor of mob law I "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL." Tho attention of the Culpepper (Va.) Observer is directed to an observance of this commandment. Its recent violation of the same was exceedingly unkind, if not criminal. -* "PACTS AND FANCIES." Tho favor of our correspondent "An-Noto" was received too lato for this issne, and the theme may likely prove out of season next weok. We ' would venture to hint that the weather is an un? certain topic to discuss, even with collateral sur? roundings, in this changeable climate. > -<? FANT, SHABPE & BLECKLEY. The abovo new firm is announced this week, having formed a partnership for the transaction of business at this place and Pondlcton. A member of this firm, Mr. W. S. 8nAnrE, has loft for parts unknown, and his return will bo duly heralded, since there is overy prospect that he will bring a supply of fall and winter goods suited to tho mar? ket. Tho reader is referred to their advertisement elsewhere. -* CEOWDED OUT. We havo endeavored to present our usual varie? ty in this issue, although publishing tho lengthy address of the Philadelphia Convention, but the pressure of new advertisements has crowded our inside pagos. Readers will bear with tho failure iliis time, as the best plans are often frustrated by unforeseen circumstances. We hope that tho im? portance of the Address will compensate in some measure, however, for the lack of variety. -* AHEAD OF THE FOREMOST. Fine old Bourbon Whiskey, pale Brandy, inimi? table Sherry, genuine Havana Cigars, choice Pickles, delicious Chocolate, the finest Candies and greatest variety of Nuts! All these things were lavished at one timo upon tho Intelligencer Office, and any shortcomings this week must be attributed to the "devil," who vows that he will not strike a lick of work so long as this "treat" lasts. But who sent, with prodigal hand, such an array ? Ay, there's the rub, and wo beg pardon for letting out the secret. That prince of good follows, J. R. Cociiran, is entitled to tho pre-eminent distinc? tion, and wo congratulate him that so far he has led tho van in supplying this office with acceptable favors. Long may ho wave ! Near tho southeast cornor of tho public square, the abovo and many other articles may bo found in great profusion. Call at the "Dixie," if you would partake of tho best and choicest in that line. -,?* BALTIMORE. The enterprising and reliable firm of Armstrong, Cator & Co., Baltimore, Md., soeks an acquaint? ance through our columns with the merchants of this Bection. Wo take especial pleasure in recom? mending this establishment, since wo arc fully apprised of its antecedents, and can safely endorse theso gentlemen as Southern in feeling, sentiment and action. Mr. Cator will be long remembered by many of our soldiers as an active and energet? ic friend; through his kindness and liberality du? ring tho war, the wants and necessities of prison? ers were constantly relieved and attended to. We trust that our merchants will remember such men when replenishing their stocks, for tho fall and winter trade. . Next to our own commercial metropolis, wo think it important that Baltimore should share the Southern patronage Her merchants aro pre? pared to supply goods on equal terms with North? ern cities, and there is every inducement to sustain the effort being made to build up a first-class busi? ness there. Sympathy in tho past, no less than safety in the future, demands that wo cherish and foster the resources of our own section. -1? JEFFERSON DAVIS. Tho honored namo of this illustrious prisoner arrests tho attention of every true Southerner wherover seen. Thought reverts to an imprisoned patriot doing penance for a people's imputed guilt. All tho thousands of heroio men who were leadors and representative spirits in the strugglo for sepa tion have long since returned to the quiet and peaceful avenues of life, enjoying with tho hum? blest that share of civil and roligious liberty accor? ded by tho victors. He, tho noblest Roman of them all, alone is doprived of personal freedom. And in the wave-washed fortress, with Christian dignity and Bublimc resignation, his lifo is rapidly tending to an entrance upon "that bourne from whence no traveler has e'er yet returned." Unless the fetters are removed, and his giant spirit roams in freedom once more, not many months will elapse ere the sad news will break upon the South? ern ear that thoir chief has fallen into tho arms of tho grim monster. His blood will stain the hands of those who havo it in power to order his release, but whose fear of Northern fury produces hesita? tion and delay. Let tho hearts of our entiro peo? ple go up in earnest prayer for his deliverance from persecution and torture. ?.-? Tho Chester Standard says: "Tho numerous friends of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Biggcrs Mobley, Esq., will be gratified to learn that a dis? patch has been received by Col. A. H. Brown, an? nouncing that the order for his release has been received in Charleston. The whoLe Community will rqjoicc in his liberation." SOLDIERS' CONVENTION. The call for a Convention of Soldiers who served in the Federal armies appears in another column. Tho proposed National Convention of soldiers has been abandoned for the present, and we do not re? gret that the leaders in such a move have arrived at this conclusion. Perhaps it were better that the results of the first National Convention be at? tained before another is assembled. Politicians have made the sacrifice necessary to conciliate and harmonize conflicting elements, and the roldiery of tho South would infinitely prefer to remain quiet and passive yet awhile, that reason may re? sume her sway over the entire land and their ac? tions stand forth unprejudiced before the world. In regard to the present call, wo agree with the New York News, "That this call should, like the address of the Philadelphia Convention, abound in expressions which must fall harshly upon the ears of the Southern people is more to be regretted than wondered at; for it is written by Northern men, and is an appeal to Northern voters alone, and they are presumed to be still so inflamed by the passions of war as to insist upon reviling and abusing the vanquished while raising them from the earth." -? SECRETARY STANTON. The press, says the Richmond Dispatch, specu? lates, the telegraph is oracular, upon Mr. Stanton', and his going out, and his wither. But Mr. Stanton is as mute as marble, and stationary as tho highlands of Neversink. We see that many applications are made to the President relative to a successor to Mr. Stanton ; but Mr. Staxton can have no successor as long as he holds his place.? Will Mr. Stanton ever give it up ? The question has a fearful significance in it. It is ono a man doesn't like to ask?it reminds him of his own end, and the continuation of Time, which must survive us all I It provokes an echo from the very grave! Ah, we shall all leave Mr. Stanton in the War De? partment. War is his fate! Never shall war cease with him ! Secretary or not, he is doomed never more to know peace. We look at the eternal hills, and know that they survivo aU human life and hu? man actions; but they are at rest?tho emblems of peace. Wo turn to Mr. Stanton and feol a senti? ment of awe; for in him wo behold tho living im? personation of endless war and unappeasable agi? tation, and are shocked and horrified that they must survive so long! -o-? NEW ADVERTISEMENTS, A gold pen and pencil-case have been lost on the road to Petersburg ferry, on the Savannah River, and the finder will bo liberally rewarded for the same. It is valuable to tho owner from associa? tion. Persons indebted to tho lato firm of Moores & Major arc notified to arrange the payment of these claims, or the surviving partners will be compelled to seek the assistance of tho law. A white pointer dog, with orange-colored ears, was lost at Pcndleton on the 11th instant, upon the arrival of the cars from this place.

Broyles, Esq., for collection, and parlies interested arc requested to make somo arrange? ments for their settlement. -<j> STATE NEWS. F. C. Harris has been elected Ordinary of York Distriot. Tho Carolina Spartan says: "Portions of our District have been blessed with good rains within the last week, but theso havo not been general.? Corn on the uplands is a failure complete." Tho Yorkvillc Enquirer says : "Refreshing show? ers of rain have fallen upon portions of this Dis? trict in the last few days. Though too late to rc storo the withered crops, they have benefited to some extent the late corn and cotton." The City Council of Columbia are making ar? rangements for the organization of a volunteer armed patrol force for the protection of persons and property. This with the consent of tho mili? tary. Col. J. D. Green, of tho U. S. 6th Regulars, has returned to Columbia, carrying with him tho ex? cellent band of that regiment. Col. C. W. Dudley, of Marlboro', has received the appointment of Assessor of Internal Revenuo for the first Collection District of this Stato. The Unionvillc Times of tho 24th instant says : "On Sunday evening last wc were favored with a refreshing shower. Since then, the weather has been cool and cloudy. Wo livo in hopes of more rain soon. "On yesterday evening we had another good shower, and have no doubt turnip seed will bo in demand." The Marion Crescent says: "Since the last issue refreshing rains have fallen in parts of the Dis? trict. The cotton and young corn will be greatly improved. Cotton is opening in many places, but still bearing finely." ? There is an organization of frccdmen in this place, says the Cheraw Advertiser, whose object is to ferret out and punish crime among themselves. Upon learning tbat a negro horse-thief had passed through the place, on Friday, a member of the or? ganization put out in pursuit and soon had the thief in limbo, and delivered him up to tho authori? ties. The negro had a horse and buggy, which has been left hero subject to the demand of the owner. The same organization look up a shop-lifter the other day and, as the proof was positive, they promptly applied to him a dose of Moses' law.? Far better this than a provost court. Very few darkice will risk & second appearance before this body. ? Point Lookout, situated at the mouth of the Potomac River, much resorted to previous to the ?war as a summer resort, but which, for some time previous to the close of the conflict, was usedjis a prison for rebel prisoners, has recently be purchased by a company of New York capitalists, who design putting everything in first-rate repair by next season, with a view of using it as a water? ing place. ? Tho Pennsylvania Democratic State Commit? tee have published a brief and stirring address to the people of that Statt, urging them to rally to the support of the President against the Con? gressional usurpers, who threaten to subvert the Government as established by the Constitution, and to centre all its powers within their own body.
