GEN. 810KLE8 AND THE SOLDIERS' CONVENTION. rThe New York Tribune, that sweet scented loyal Journal, says in its issue of the 29th: We have the best authority for stating that Major-General D. E. Sickles, commanding the De? partment of tho 8outh. has not authorized the use of his name in connection with the Cleveland .Convention, and declines, while on duty in his present command, to take part in political move? ments. -? ? ?-._, An interesting suit ia pending in Richmond, Va., growing out of the alleged purchase, before the war, of twenty-three hundred hogsheads of to baoco for the Messrs. BOTSHCHILD. About two thousand hogsheads of the tobacco were burned on the fall of Richmond, and the re st was stored. Col. LOOMIS claims the tobacco as abandoned pro? perty, but an injuuotion has been issued at the suit of the ROTHSCHILDS restraining him from .removing it. Cheraw and Coalfields Railroad. To the Editor of the Charleston Bally News: In accordance with promise, we resume our re? marks on the Cheraw and Coalfields Railroad. In your editorial of 20fch August you remark, "It is a very important enterprise-important to the interests of the city, und therefore deserving of our fullest attention." We now propose to show fcbat Charleston has not been fully awake to those important interests. Let any citizen glance at an accurate map of the United States, and he will find that a straight line from Charleston to Raleigh, North Carolina, passes nearly through the vast coal basin on Deep River. Let him re? member that Professor EMMONS, the State Geolo? gist of North Carolina, Professor SHEPPARD, of Charleston, and others, made elaborate reports on the immense coal, iron, and other mineral de? posits of that region; that the United States Sen-1 tte appointed a special commission to examine nto thqse matters, and that specimens ol' the coal, kc, have from time to time been exhibited in tho sity, and public attention called to its value as 'uel, and more especially for the production of gas. Let him remember these facts, and does it not ieem strange that the scheme of building a rail? road to that point should not have been projected n Charleston? Nay, more, that when it is pro ected, that the people of the city should not only have allowed it to "lay dormant till within the past few years," and thon left it for Col. A. MAO PARLAN, a gentleman of the interior,, in no way jonnected with the merchants, mechanics, capi? talists, and other residents of the city, to create "an interest in the road"? The merchants and citizens generally of Charles? ton have nevor been properly impressed with tho importance of the valuable trade which must bo tributary to this road, and which, if they fail to build it, must inevitably go to Wiltniugton. Let tia soe what our enterprising neighbors of that sity are doing with reference to that trade. While wo are waiting "for something lo turn up," that wise and energetic people have project? ed a railroad from Wilmington to Charlotte and Rutherlbrdton, and it may surprise our people to know that the Wilmington, Charlotte and R?ther- j fordton Railroad is completed to a point within ] twenty-five miles of Cheraw,-that it is in full i md active operation, carrying the products of Richmond, Robeson, Montgomery, Anson and 3tanley oounties, No. Ca.,-yes, carrying the pro iuots of Marlborough District of this State to Wilmington, and bringing the goods for the mai kets of these oounties from that thriving city. Yes, the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherfordton Railroad is to-day quietly doing with the trade of tho rich border oounties of North and South Ca? rolina what the Wilmington and Manchester Rail? road has been doing with that of our Northeast? ern and Middle Dist rio ts-drawing it to Wilming? ton; while we, who have'heretofore had that trade, take no steps to counteract it, Can it be possible thai our people are to continue standing .,lt* M. mww M?i.l.i' '.i I III ? n i --j- . TJ--~ - their doors, ?hen a little exertion, a little timely expenditure, can prevent it ? We are informed that muoh of this valuable trade oan be kept in the old channel, and no in? considerable inorease of trade oan be scoured to the city, by the construction of a portion of the Coalfields Railroad-that if the first twenty-three miles, from Cheraw to the intersection of the Wil? mington, Charlotte and Rutherfordton Railroad, about, two miles from Wadesboro', the County seat of Anson, were completed-the largest and most valuable part of that trade will be retained trhile that muoh progress towards the main ob ?eot, ihe ooal and iron region on Deep River,would be made. We are also informed that it is believed by competent judges that this portion of the road would be self-sustaining from the beginning of ac? tive operations-and each successive seotion of ten miles will in like manner sustain itself. In ither words, the local business of the road will, in itself, be profitable. That the through freight and passenger receipts, added to the local trade, will make the road profitable, few will havo tho temerity to gainsay. At this late day it would seem a work of super? erogation to say anything about the importance of a regular Bupply of coal to our people. Wo shall therefore confine ourselves to the considera? tion of the practicability of getting such a supply from the coal mines on Deep River. Our people have already tested tho' coal of that region. It was used during the war to some considerable extent. Can it be brought to the city on such terms as to allow of its general use ? It' can now be mined and delivered on the care at the Egypt Shaft foi' two dollars per ton, even under all the present disadvantages of disorgan? ized labor and depreciated currency. We have been informed that it can bo transported by rail? road at a cost of one and one-half cents per ton per mile. This would give us the following figures : 1 ton of coal costs at mine..$2.00 Transportation 225 miles. 8 38 $5.38 To this add for contingencies and profit to the wholesale dealer. 3.62 And it will cost the consumer.$8 Ot) per ton. These estimates are larger than is believed to be correct, but we would prefer erring on the safe side. To enumerate the advantages to tho City f Charleston, incident to the through line to Raleigh, the vast increase of population whioh must flow into the valley of Deep River, when that at present land-looked region is opened to the seaboard, and the shortening of the line from the city to Charlotte, would require more time than we can spare, and perhaps exhaust tho patience of some of your readers who are already familiar with these things. We therefore forbear, but can? not close without asking if our merchants and capitalists have heretofore been remiss, is it not high time to be up and doing ? Can nothing be done to give active life to this important enter? prise? F. A. W. S. Mr. Sweet, a Radical farmer in Berlin, III., hired a negro to whom he expounded the Civil Rights bill in its most liberal hearing. Soon after Mr. Nig. becoming very negligent, waa berated sound? ly by Mr. Sweet, whereupon he turned on that gentleman and thrashed him well; remarking dat was de reconstruction he put on de gemman'a les? sons. fl JEW YORK LETTER. [FROM OUR OWN C?BBB8PONDENT.] NEW YOBK, August 28.-The lengthy article, and almost equally comprehensive editorial, that appeared in last Sunday's Herald on the subject of the gamblers and gambling in this city, have turned the attention of the masses, and, it is to be hoped, will turn the attention of the authori? ties, to a growing evil which Beonis destined to put the cholera and all othor plagues entirely in the shade, as, comparatively speaking, innocuous visitors. It is generally conceded that JOHN MORRISSEY, the greatest faro dealer in the United States, is actually to be brought out as a candi? date for Congressional honors; and it is even hinted that if "checks" or money will serve his "turn," the ex-prize fighter will go in and win. So far as I eau judge, I can confidently assort that' a very large majority of Southerners who have visited this city ia the past month or two, have deposited more money ia the various faro banks here than ia the hotels where they boarded, or in the hands of the treasurers of less expensive places of amusement. It may he as well for them all to know that out of the two thousand gambling holes, or hells, in this city, there may be possibly about a half dozen places where the game is played fairly; and even ia the so-called squaro games the chances are about three to one against the player. For heaven's Bake, let our Southern men, who at best have a sufficiently small amount of greenbacks, abandon, once and forever, all hopes of winning from this grand army of thievos hore; or if they will play faro, let them throw their money away at home, instead of giving themselves the trouble to come on hore to so do in 'a more expeditious manner. The preparation for the grand procession and Presidential reception goes bravely on, and overy. one is on the qui vive of expectation, hoping to witness a demonstration auch as the world never Baw before, but will see to-mojirow. When the world takes a look to-morrow your correspondent will go and do likewise, and will report promptly to your readers. The newspapers teem with appropriate tributes | to the great man who has gone to his last account. The telegraph has, ere thia, ?nformod you that DEAN RICHMOND is no more. Be was a most dis? tinguished politician, and as wise politicians are much needed in the present crisis, it is to be hoped that there may be found other Richmonds in the field. A daring robbery waa perpetrated yesterday at the Metropolitan Hotel, A guest had gone to bed with Ma waistcoat under bis pillow, and about a couple of thousand dollars ia the pockets. He awoke to find the vest in the bands of an unin? vited gentleman, whereupon, hastily arising, he pursued the gentleman down the,stairs, not stop? ping to don his clothes. He shodked the modesty of. several ladies whom he encountered in the I with the valuable contents. One of the thieves, who was oaught, proves to be a lad but seventeen | years old. A gentleman named CARVER was on the point of becoming united yesterday to one Miss BOLES in the holy bonds of matrimony, but the ceremony was arrested, and CARVER was arrested without ceremony, on the ground that he was so absent? minded as to forget that he had already been tied up in said bonds together with a lady named MC? CULLUM, from whom, also loving money as well as matrimony, he had walked off with eighty-two dollars in currency. CARVER will be instructed as to the nature of the law in regard to bigamy. The rumor as to the anticipated release of | JEEP. DAVIS givoB pretty general satisfaction here. I fear, however, that the report may be prema? ture, if not imaginary and uufomded. A thief who was arrested here a few days ago was compelled, by Superintendent KENNEDY, to sit for his photograph; but the t?ief, not wishing to have a correct likeness taken, made such a quantity of ugly faces, and contorted his visage with so many horrible twistinga that a likeness ; was produced which would not lo recognized by the maternal ancestors of the iigenious and ob-1 stinato rogue. The corner-stone of the grant spectaculum of tho New York Museum, at the omer of Broad? way and Thirtieth-street, will te laid to-day by the Grand Lodge of Free ad Accepted Ma? sons. It is said that the Worshiful Grand Mas? ter of the Order will preside. The United Service Socioty.whch met last night | at Masonic Hall, made arrangements for a mass meeting in support of Presiden JOHNSON, to be hold on Friday next. A lady who was married sevial y?ars ago, but who has never been placed it a poBitiou that would allow her the gratifica tin of hearing the plaintive wail of an infant of br own-the lady ? is notdeatVbut is childes-thi lady heard, a few nights ago, the plaintive wail f some one oise's ( baby, that came from a baslt outsido of tho { door, or rather from a baby thj was inside a bas? ket outside of the door.

[From the N. T. Evening Post, Repub.] We hear from the Weat that the Republican Congressional Conventions are nominating, for the most part, candidates who favor the imme? diate admission to Congress of members Irom all States, subject to tho constitutional decision of each House. We hope that the Republican nomi? nating conventions in this and other Eastern States will do the same. At one time we thought this of but little importance, because we believed that the present Congress, as soon as it reassem? bled in December, would dismiss the Joint Com? mittee on Reconstruction, and admit to their seats all claimants who could taite the established oaths. We have found reason to behove since then, however, that the vindictive and obstinate men who have gained the control ot' the Repub? lican majority in Congress aro fully determin? ed to carry out their designs at all hazards, anil that they will refuse to a'lmib ' the States. They have ruled so despotically in this Congress that they may have the influence to rule that body during thev remainder of its existence ; and therefore the question, wheth? er or no the Southern States, lately in re? bellion, shall be represented in Congress, is forced upon the people. Du thai question we behove the majority of the Northern people do not hold with Messrs. Stevens and Sumner. They are tired of a method of "reconstruction" which appears end? less, and which, after eight months, has recon? structed nothing. They want something done, and they are conscious that Congress bas not done, but only obstructed everything. They be? lieve that Congress haB supreme authority in the matter under the Constitution; and they would, we believe, have supported Congress, had it last December, as soon as it met, condemned the whole reconstruction aots of the President, and proceeded to a regular and constitutional reor? ganization of Government in the Southern States provided this had been speedy. But it ia now too lato. But Congress chose to do nothing of the kind. It has, as Gov. Morton and other recog? nized Republican leaders declare, accepted the President's acts of reconstruction; it does not mean, as these gentlemen tell us, and as the action of Congress proves, to disturb what the President has done. It only means to do something more; aud that something is so arranged that it virtually puts off the reconstruction, and con;inue8 tho present dis? organized state of tho country indefinitely. Now,, we shall not argue tho right of Congress to do this;, wo only say that it is not good policy; that it injures the -country; that it keeps open and in? flames old wounds; that it perpetuates a mischiev? ous strife; that it strengthens prejudices and hatreds on both sides; that it affords great oppor? tunities for wicked and ambitious men to raise false issues in our politics; and, finally, that it continues the country in what is actually a state of war and revolution, a condition in which, whether the Exeoutive observes the laws or not, whether it respects the Constitution or violates it, is a matter to be decided by its good will and judgment alone. There is no safety-nothing but the moat terrible danger-to the country in suoh a state of things, Daily this danger increases. We are threatened now with the gravest misfor? tunes that can happen to a country. Congress leaves us ina revolutionary state: how far off is anarchy? Political Bocioty is held together, this day, in America, by the mere good sense and for? bearance of oitizene; but how long will this endure? Is it politic or wise to strain everything in thia way ? Our only safety lies'in the quiokest possible return to strict constitutional forms. There may be risks in that, as some well-meaning men assert,, but the risks we are now running are infinitely greater. Under the Constitution, with all par?s of our complex government working with regu? l?r" the safe ooaree of argument and discussion, Wa cannot gain it in any other way securely. We cannot establish the Millennium by a military gene? ral order; we cannot put off upon the General Government the work which oitizens must do. We cannot achieve, in Mississippi, by bayonet, a reform of publio opinion whioq was efieoted in Massachusetts, and New York and Ohio, only by long, patient and persistent argument. We have the right of free discussion-let it be used. The men who, with Congress, propose to keep the States out, and thus keep the country io disorder, decline to use or exeroise this* right, They assert that it would be dangerous-and thus they make it dangerous, perhaps. Let them try it; they will find it safe enough. And that is the only way to reform the Southern States-by tho? rough, persistent, continued, irrepressible discus? sion. Every Southern State should be "stumped" this fail and winter by the ablest Republican speakers and lecturers; a grand National Mass Convention of Republicans should be held in a Southern city as soon as possible; leading South? ern men should be called to speak in the North, while leading Northern men speak all over the South. So long as the Republican party refuses to begin this work, so long does it subject itself to be stigmatized as a sectional party. So long as it depends on Congress, or" oil the-military arm, and not on the force of argument, eo long will it go toward ruin. The people of this country want things done; they wanted the war "put through," to use a popular phraso; and they quietly brushed away McClellan and Buel, and nil the other mere ob? structionists who, whatever their merits, had not the ono merit of gutting ahead. So they want constitutional government restored; they want to see the country Bafely back under the old safe? guards and forms, with all tho machinery work? ing, and they will brush aside all mere obstruc? tionists. They do not care whether a sohemo of reconstruction is ingenious or tho reverse-what they demand is something that will work, and work at once. McClellau'a plans wore correct and full of science, no doubt, but they did not boat the enemy, therefore he was displaced. Grant's plan, West Pointers used to tell us, had very little merit; but Grant did the work, and he is rightfully Geueral. We hope the Republicans avery where will put in nomination good men, loyers of Ift??twl liberty; and. we hope that for Congress they will noiuliiate *niv men who see ? ;he importance, first of all, of admitting all the , States to representation, elud thus bringing the , jtmntry back under the safeguards of the Consti ,ution, and rescuing it frortl ita present revolu ionary condition. .1 DEATH OF GOVEIINOH J.

He represented his native oun ty in 1821 in the L?gislature, and the County I Guilford in 1836. In 1841 he was elected by the p Vhig party as Governor, defeating the Hon. R. M. ? .tudors. He waa re-elected in 1843. Governor lorehead'a last political service was as a ~ lumber of the Peace Conference which assem led in Washington in 1801, and vainly attempted H j check the impending struggle. He was Inti- p lately connected with the construction of the JJ, forth Carolina, and the Atlantic and North Caro? na Railroads, and was the first President of the q jrmer, and the completion of the Danville and tl roensboro Railroad was maiuly due to his oou- na niiod and persevering efforts. it Always differing with Governor Morehead po-.'
