Wednesday Morning, Oct. 23, QOV. OBB'S LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT. The letter of Gov. Oku. addressed to the Prcsi - . dent opon tlie subject of negro juries-, find- which ? appears in this issue, has been generally commen? ded by the press, and will repay perusal. The ' whole subject is distinotly set forth and ably dis? eased. ? Gov. Obr has been singularly unfortunate in : bringing upon his head the anathemas of political writers in this and adjoining States, for almost ev V fry letter or speech euBanaticg- from him during - bis-Gubernatorial career. He has, however, re ? ceived the warmest endorsement for this manly protest against the crowning insult to already ' heaped-up injuries. It is likewise gratifying to v?ot.'> that this letter did-not altogether fa.il to ac ^"?.cnmpBsh its design; - /? - 'M?' ? - ; . TEE CONVENTION. ?"' . The official-call of the Convention authorized by the Reconstruction Acts-of Congress is published elsewhere to-day. The election for delegates oc \ .cars ou the 19th and 20th of November. Wo diem it necessary to state, in this connection, ? that the reasons governing-this paper, in common with tins -press generally of this State, to favor . "?voting Mfor a Convention," no longer exist. We "- hoped :iicn to effect a conservative organisation by ? . which the "rule or ruin" party might be thwarted r . in its 'designs, and especially in regard to t he fu "?**" .--"tsupe iafcfirnal policy of the State. This effort-failed, '* ;-and" the State Is given over to the enemy. The - .-Convention we have always regarded as a foregone . . ieonclasit>n, and there is no chance now to secure even a respectable minoritv of conservative dele ... gates. Therefore, we would simply advise nou y action on tie question?that ss, vote neither for or. ? . against tvGonvention, but vote for delegates alone. *r By.the terms of the first Supplementary Aet, a ,*SSfijority of registered votors is required to vote -"V^up'on this" question of holding a Convention in order to-l??ure Oiat end. AH persons who refrain V xVenvvotjng directly ou this issue render valuable *- assistance towards defeating that object, and at the same time, are not liable to the charges ot in . consistency or -contumaey. So far as we can rlearn, thiyis. the course advised now by all the ' -leading newspapers and politicians of Georgia and - i other Stales. . - - - ?-?-:-O-; IESPIDASA STRIATA. - - .7 This is the botanical name of a new plant, which "V' lias attracted general attention in this and adjoid ' '? rtrg_States. Many persons have designated it as k*^trild clover, and reference is made to its pasturage j Vqrialities\ in an" able article upon "Sheep Hus .^:,*b&ridry?,' published last w.eelv from the pen of CoL - ^ J..W. Waits, of Laurens District. In a recent in ?* ' tcryiew with this gentleman, we were Agreeably ??*' entertained by an account of his observations of '?m the plant iii this State and Georgia. Being sntis ,?g fied that all par farming friends are anxious to kno.w* something of. the. origin and properties of ; '-this new plant, we are induced to lend sufficient V'iiBpwrfrin our editorial columns to re-produce the ?^>repotirof a committee to the Richmond County Ag "r^'ricnJtaral Club in Augusta, Georgia, giving such --'details as the committee had in possession-respect ? , iog-this opportune fertilizer: ^*'-.Somo years ago tho undersigned first noticed .? :-1tiis weed (the Lespidasa,) in some places on the :' roadsides ia Georgia. Wc did not give it any par -C'fcipalar attention. 'It is only since it lias dissera ./.-?inated itself so widely-and so rapidly, that it at 7-^isretcd general, attention, and was recently made ? */iho. subject, of a. thorough investigation by the ^ '.{?kb/" It seems not- to be telislied much by any cattle, although it is said that, in some localities, ^'^icattle.will.feed upon iL . ,yK " It is a native, of China and Japan, from whence . * "Came.so many valuable additions to our native '^-?-flojra, as, for instance, the chinaberry (melia asc i/'.'daracb,) .the pawlonia the stereuleum (Japan var .'inish,) the langerstramium, the camellia, and a host *V* "of flowers and shrubs. It will be seeu by the able .-ropbrt-of CoL Rains that it may prove not be al ... together a worthless intruder, as it contains many > ..elements of fertilizing matter which may eventually . ".prove beneficial to be turned under by the plow, llc.aa. green sod, for future crops, as is the case with '. otexes, cowpeas,-&c.,&c. " ? ? ^.Considering the structure of the seed, and its - " ?nfiiness to be carried at distances by the wind, ". ..as. is the case'with the seed of the thistle, the ca- j *, 'rciicttm, and other winged or feathered seeds, we -i i?ayvwell be surprised to wituess its rapid propn ^ -gation. Since the time wc first saw it haB taken ' *%sossesaion of immense tracts of wasteland, old ' ffidd^,-fbresls and road-sides. The probability is, that the see-i, being minute nnd light, it sticks, in wet places and seasons, to the feet of cattle, sheep ? and all kind of animals, add is thus carried to great ? -distances. It may be also that, being parposedly Jor.accidentally consumed by cattle or lards, the . ?seed passes, like so many other seeds, uninjured ? through the digestive apparatus, nnd is thus de . posited at gnat distances, and in places most re ' ' m?te. Having no means at present to ascertain . ,.th'e useful ox baneful effect of the plant upon oar ' fields and pastures, where it isrnpidly superseding most of our native grasses whenever it takes fairly -" leld-of the soil, we must confne ourselves to the .' aiatory of . its origin, its botanical character, and its chemical elements. Not having-been able to examine the flower, ..'which is now fast coming out, and the seed which - -tapena in the fall, we wrote to a fricud, Mr. II. W. -:*Ravenel? our distinguished botanist, and we can e- ? !flo no better than to avail oursevles of his remarks: "' ~. "Doctor Chapman (says Mr. R ) informed me - that he bad it from Macon, Ga., that he saw it a .. --year-?r two ago atrhis return from the North, firsi at West Point on the Chattahoochee, thence along ??fe r.o?dto Columbus,, and'down the river to Eu - ? lala. It eeems to be all through our Southern * .States, along the. line of woods, nnd near towns ^?pd-Tillages. It is a perenial plant, and spreads I jtself by its seeds. Enclosed is a small specimen, * x?<idih mature fruit, collected last fall, that you may 1'see"small diakike legumes. It is not yet included ^'.in/any of our works on Botany. Dr. Chapman, ?^'ibo author, of the Flora of the Southern States, V -published just beforo the war, to whom I sent '?' .'specimens a year ago, did not know ?h name, but - Lad seen it as stated above. He supposed it a new >jC\rpeciei I am indebted to Prof. Gray, of Cam v^yw-dge, for giving me the name, which he was enabled'to do by a comparison with his East India cbHections.'.' With these remarks wo must conclude. Satis ; ^-fied to have called-the attention of the public to f? -vthis immigrant in hopes that experiments may be tried'm order to ascertain whether it is good for anything or only a troublesome intruder. Its wonderful rapid propagation, and the fact that it kills or supersedes our native graminecs wherever it gets possession of the soil, makes this a subject "Well worthy of further and careful investigation. ? If- found worthless, one consolation remains, that . jp, that it can easily be uprooted and destroyed by plowing or hoeing. As far as the eye is concerned, it makes certainly one of the finest green carpets that can be found, nnd insects seem not to live npon.it. We remarked, on the contrary, that they peem to keep away from iL It is perhaps the only Southern plant that could giee us an idea of "The green mossy bank near a murmuring brook.'' Such as we find them in England, and here in the novels only. ?iianoe of Schedule.?We call atten? tion to the change of schedule on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. Ey the present arrango mcnt, . persons from the up-country visiting Charleston are only detained a half hour at Co? lumbia, au accommodation train on the S.. C. Railroad leaving the latter place at 3 o'clock, p. m.,. irnd arriving at Ckarlwtoo 4 o'eloek ?. m. Hymeneal.?There- is an earnest ro vival in the matrimonial line hereabouts. Fvery few days we hear.of a-new wedding on the'tapis, and then comes the slaughtering of fatted turkeys and the preparation of wedding c.al?c, et cetera. It has been our good fortune to witness some of those now past, and perhaps we may hereafter be honored with an invitation. But that is neither "here nor there," and we intend at this time to record prominently one of these events, as tho happy groom has been for a long, while connected with the Intelligencer office. His fidelity and faith? fulness in business is only excelled by a like repu? tation while wearing/the Confederate grey, and we would be derelict in duty if we failed to declare that the steadfast soldier and upright man is well deserving of one of nature's best gifts. Through life's vicissitudes, may the sunlight of happiness and hope beam gently upon them, and when the conflicts of earth are ended, may they be re-united in blissful realms beyond the skies ! MARRIED, At the residence of the bride's fath? er, on Thursday evening, October 17th, 1867, by Rev. \V. H. Siratton. Mr. J. Fleetwood Clink scales nnd Miss Hattie, second daughter of Wm. Archer, Esq., all of this District. The typos connected with the office beg leave to add their warmest congratulations on this occasion, and to wish their more fortunate brother an endless amount of happiness. TriE Courts.?On Wednesday night, last the respective Judges of the Circuit and Dis? trict Courts received notice from the Governor to the effect that the Courts would proceed with the juries drawn at the preceding terms. As these jurors had been dismissed, and others empanelled, it was impossible to comply with the directions, and hence the new juries were also dismissed. In the Circuit Court, on Wednesday, the case of of J. H. J Ennings, indicted for the murder of M. D. Hall, at Williamston, in January, 1866, occu? pied the entire day. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Hon. B. F. Perry and A. T. Broyles, Esq., conducted the defence. We learn (hat an appeal will be taken in this case, and also in that of JElbert Brownlce. frcedman, convicted of mur? der on Tuesday, and mentioned in our last issue. In tho District Court, there was nothing of unu? sual interest transpired, we believe. Several cases of assault and battery and petit larceny, in which the principal characters were of a dusky hue, both male and female, occupied the time of his Honor, Judge Murray. Both Courts adjourned on Thursday afternoon in consequence of the ctrcumstances above alluded to. The Pickens Kiot.?We have not as? certained any further important particulars con? cerning the disgraceful riot near Hunnicutt's Crossirg, on Saturday night, 12th inst The mili? tary has efficiently assisted the civil authorities in makiug arrests of parlies engaged in the riot. Among others, we learn that Alex. Bryce, jr., of Walhalla, and several negroes in that vicinity, were arrested by the military and lodged in the Pickens jail. Upon affidavits, the civil authorities arrested Rev. Elias Cannady, (colored,) of this place, and he has been sent to Pickens for trial, us one of the leading spirits of this horrible outrage He is a Baptist preaeher, nnd well known through? out this section. A gentleman who left Pickens on'Monday afternoon informs us that the grand jury had found true bills against seven of the number arrested. We sincerely trust that (he whole affair will be thoroughly investigated, and thai the principal ac? tors may receive the full reward for their devilish maiignity. It is only by prompt and decisive measures that the majesty of the law will be main? tained. Extra Family Flour.?Our respected friend, A. 0. Norrip, Esq., being well aware of the usual condition of an editor's larder, has pre? sented us with a gcuuine snck of Flour, which, after strict trial and due examination, we pro? nounce of the very best quality. Having recently received a pair of fine Freuch Burrs, Norris' Mill is prepared to turn out the finest quality of flour to customers, and we take pleasure iu saying that one of the highest evidences of superiority lies in the fact that liberality governs the proprietor. He provides with a generous hand everything re? quisite to sustaiu the reputation of the Mill, and is determined that naught shall be wanting to afford satisfaction. The Mill is situated four miles South of this village, and wo advise a trial of its merits. Humbug.?One of the hupest humbugs of tbe scasion is Robinson's Great Southwestern Circus, so called. Tho riding was poor, the vault? ing poorer, and the performances' tedious and tire? some. There is but one or two redeeming features, and the miserable wit of the clown is not one of them. It was liberally patronized, however, at this place, nnd we presume that the circus men were well pleased with their efforts. Acknowledgment.?Wo are indebted to the Sunday School Board of the Southern Bap? tist Convention, located at Greenville, for speci? men copies of several publications of that Board. Teachers and superintendents can examine these copies by calling at this office. Two Months for Nothing.?Look at this Offer.?We arc in receipt of the October issue of" the American Agriculturist. V.re wish that all our friends could see this paper. We know of no way in which so large nn amount of truly val. u&ble, interesting, and instructive reading mntter could be given to a family at so small a price as the subscription to the Agriculturist. Each- number contains 32 to 40 large quarto rnEes> aQd 30 to 50 fine engravings, many of them very costly and beautiful. Here, in this October number, we find, in addition to the great amount of valuable infor? mation, hints, suggestions, etc., more than thirty engravings, several of which are among the most expensive ever found in an Illustrated Journal. This number is of itself really worth a year's sub? scription. The cost, of the American Agriculturist is only SI.50 for a year, in advance, or four copies for $5. The publishers offer that valuable journal free for the remaining two months of this year to all new subscribers for 1808, (Vol. 27;) who send in their subscribtion during this month of October. We advisp all our readers to secure it on these terms. It will be sure to benefit all fathers and mothers, and interest nnd instruct the children.
