Friday .??nibifc June??;WK. ~~ Illegal. t v4?e-#or? gratified to announce, the . other day, the release of Mr.- Bagan, who,; aitaaT?ii?ving 1/een discharged by jjudge Nelson* in Albany, -was ro arrestcd by the military authorities io this Sbvte. f In connection with the subject of military courts, we notice that Judge Ballard, of Ken? tucky; ia. pronouncing an opinion in ?-?afiea? eorjitts case brought before him,- used the following terse ami emphatic language: "I agree With Sir James Mackin? tosh, wat; 'while Ute laws aro silenced by tlie noise of arms, tho rulers of the.armed,force must punish, as equi? tably as they can, thoso crimes which threaten their, own safety and that of society, bu^k.no longer;every moment beyond is usurpation. As soon as the laws can act,, every other mode of pu? nishing supposed crimes is itself un enormous crime.' "Let the relator be discharged." 1? There are no words -wasted in tho :above opinion, and every friend of constitutional liberty will agree not only with the premises, but the re ? suit of them, viz: that the trial of -civilians by military courts, after peace has been declared, is wro ng. _ o _ Radica? Slanders. ; At a convention of tho newspaper publishers of Mississipx>i, held nt Jackson, a short time ago, the fol? lowing resolution was adopted : Resolved, That we deprecate and I4eplqre. the systematic misrepresents tions'by Northern radical journals of the views and feelings of the South - . ern people, in their charges on our disloyalty and hostility to the Gene? ral Government; and in- speaking for Mississippi, we believe we cnn speak ' for the entire South, in declaring that there is nothing moro desired by our people than a faithful co-opera? tion in the legitimate ends of the Go? vernment, and the recognition of our rights to prove our loyalty by the ac? tion and d?clarations of our Repre? sentatives in Congress. This tells the whole truth as re? gards tho position of the press and people of the whole South; but whe? ther the resolution will be heeded or regarded by tho organs of radicalism, is very doubtful. State nein?. EDGEFIEI?D.-Wc publish the fol? lowing action of a meeting of the citizens of Edgefield and Lexington, held at or neat thc Ridge, in Edgefield District, ou tho 21st inst. Wo may have a word of comment hereafter: Resulted, That it is unwise, impolitic, unreasonable and grossly subversive of the best interests of tho country, to maintain that the great upheaving of property and revulsion of finances which the country has experienced should not be a most powerful argu? ment in favor of the rights of debt? ors against claim's that were predi? cated on slave property, now swept away os by the besom of destruction, an event which could neither be fore? seen nor avoided. Resolved, That debtors have rights as well as creditors, and that, while the former are not disposed to deprive the latter of a reasonable satisfaction for their favors in the post, they most earnestly and urgently protest against having their rights ignored, and jus? tice trampled upon ; which must in? evitably be the result, unless the im? pending evil be averted by un organic law of the land. Resolved, That the Chairman ol' this meeting be requested to appoint a commission of three of our citizens to wait upon his Excellency tho Go? vernor, at an early day, and urge upon him to assemble the Legislature as soon as possible, to the end that measures maybe adopted to avert the ruin and distress now threatening to fail upon us. Resolved, That our fellow-citizens throughout tho State be requested to oo-operato with us in urging the justice of our cause. Resolved, That tho thanks of this meeting are eminently due, and are hereby tendered, to tho Hon. A. P. .-Mdrich, for his able, manly and in? dependent effort on tho Bench to stay the disasters of which we have spoken in tho preceding preamble and reso? lutions. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the Edgefield Advertiser, and in the Columbia and Charleston papers, and that a copy of them be .sent to the Hon. A. P. Aldrich. GOVERNOR BICKENS.-Wc noticed, some days ago, a paragraph from an Augusta paper, refuting tho reports that Governor Pickens was danger? ously ill. The Edgefield Advertiser, ol Wednesday, .says: "For some mouths past, at inter? vals of twenty-one days, Governor Pickens has been visited with severe chills, and his general health is not so good as in former days; yet he ha* not boen ill.

Ths fcllewisg ia the offiei*! call for I WjNationol Daio? Convention to Which we referred yesterday: ?ATTOB?AX. wina? CONVENTION. ' <- ? National Union Convention, of ! nt least two delegates irom each Con? gressional District of all tho States, ' two from each Territory, two from I the District of Columbia, and four ; delegates nt large from each State, I will bo held at the city of Philadol \ phia, on the second Tuesday (14th) of August next. ' Such delegates will be chosen by ?the electors of the several States who ! sustain the Administration in main ', taming unbroken the union of the ' States under the Constitution which [ our fathers established, and who agree in the following propositions, viss: j The union of the States is in every i case indissoluble, and is perpetual; ! and tho Constitution of the United States, and thc laws passed by Cou I gress in pursuance thereof, supremo, ! and constant and universal in their j obligation. I Tho rights, thc dignity, and the equality of the States in the Union, j including tho right of representation I in Congress, are solemnly guaranteed i by that Constitution, to save which I from overthrow so much blood and ' treasure were expended iii the late j civil war. There is no right, anywhere, to dis I solve the Union or to separnto State i from tho Union, either by voluntary withdrawal, by force of arms, or 03 . Congressional action; neither by til? j secession of the States, nor by th? S exclusion of their loyal and qualifi?e j Representatives, nor by the Nationa j Government in any other form. I Slavery is abolished, and neitlici j can, nor ought to be, re-establishec j in any State or Territory within ou; ? jurisdiction. Each State has thc uudonbte? right to prescribo the qualification) of its own electors, and no externa power rightfully can, or ought to dictate, control or influence the frei and voluntary action of the States ii the exercise of that right. Tho maintenance inviolate of tin rights of tho States, and especially o the right of each State to order an? control its own domestic concerns according to its own judgment ex olusively, subject only to the Consti tution of the United States, as essen ti al to that balance of power on whicl tho perfection and endurance of ou political fabrics depend ; and tho over ; throw of that system by the usurpa tion and centralization of power h ; Congress, would be a revolution dan g?rons to republican government I and destructive of liberty. Each House of Congress Ls made j by tho Constitution, the solo judg j of tho elections, returns and ipjaliii j cations of its members; but tho exclu j sion of loyal Senators and Represor ! tatives, properly chosen and qualifie i under the Constitution and the laws j is unjust and revolutionary. I Every patriot should frown upo: ', all those acts and proceedings even j where, which can servo no other pm 1 poso than to rekindle the animositic of war, and tho effect of which upo our mural, social and material int* rests at home, and upon onr stain < ing abroad, differing only in degree ? is injurious like war itself, j The purpose of the war havin , been to preservo tho Union and th j Constitution by putting down r< ' hellion, and the rebellion having bee ' suppressed, all resistance to the ai i thority of the General Govemniei being at un end, and tho war havin conseil, war measures should ah cease, and should bc follow??! by mei sures of peaceful administration, t , that union, harmony and concoi may bo encouraged, and. industry commerce and tho arts of peace r> vived and promoted; and thc earl restoration of all thu States to tl exercise of their constitutional powe in tho National Government is indi pensably necessary to the streng) and the defence of the republic, ar. to the maintenance of tho publ credit.

Tho New York papen, of the 26th, [ bring us the details of the steamer .Moravian's news from Londonderry j to the ?5th inst. We subjoin a few items of interest: La France, of Paris, of June 15, denies the rumor of an intended ab? dication of the Mexican throne by Maximilian. It wa? reported that the Emperor Maximilian had demanded an advance of money from France; otherwise ho must lay down the crown and quit Mexico* France refnsed the demand, and ordered Marshal Bazaine, should Maximilian leave, to take a plebiscite to ascertain the wishes of the people. The strike among the dock labor? ers, seamen, &c, in Liverpool, was becoming general and serious. Nothing public of moment had transpired since thc interruption of diplomatic relations between Prussia and Austria. The Austrian Government, iu sond ing the Prussian Ambassador his j passport, informed him it took thu j step bocausc it looked as if the with- ( drawal of the Austrians from Holstein j was taking place under compulsion j from Prussia. The Prussiau Government, in giv ing Count Korolyi his passports, ; which he demanded, accompanied thom with a letter acknowledging the courteous manner with which he ful? filled his diplomatic functions as Aus? trian Ambassador at Berlin. Austria is said to have confided her interests at Berlin and Florence to i the Dutch ministers nt those courts, i The mi- ist?i-s of France and Ba- ? varia are oaid to have declined to look after Prussian interests at Vienna. I An- Austrian courier, proceeding from Vienna to General Gabienz, was stopped in Prussian territory and his despatches taken from him. It was stated that a body of Aus? trian troops in about to concentrate \ near Frankfort-on-the-Main. Genend i Gablenz and the Duke of Augusten- i berg had proceeded thither. j The Prussiau army? which was in ! position on the Silesian frontier, was | throwing up defences on all thc roads j which debouch from Bavaria. General Manteuffel liad ordered I every public functionary aud official ! in Holstein to solemnly engage to submit unconditionally to all orders of the Fing of Prussia and those acting on his behalf. The London News correspondent, I at Florence, says the first hostile I movement of Italy will be to throw j 80,000 men, in one body, acro? the I Po, following this up by pouring 300, I OOO into Venetia. j Italian papers had been hoaxed by ! a forged letter purporting to be from j Gladstone, sympathising with tho i Hallan cause. I The Vienna correspondent of the j London Times describes the positions j of the Austrian army Of the North, j The centre ia between Olrantz and I Prague. The left wing extends from Fraguo to the North-western frontier i of Bohemia. The right wing from j Olmutz to Cracow, where there is a : strongly entrenched camp. : The Paris correspondent of tue j London Times says: Lt is believed j that the four queens or empresses ! who are in Germany using their best j ettbrts to re-establish between the I sovereigns that peace winch their I people so^earaestly desire, havo'donc I more than has been, generally sup j posed. Russia was also employing I all her diplomacy with the secondary German princes. The writer says j there are still people in Paris who I believe that war may yet be averted. The Swiss Federal Council had i - j sued a decree calling out the fir.it re I serves of the Swiss army for the de i fence of the passes of the Alps on the ! sido of Italy. I Kossuth had issued an address to I the Hungarians, dax'd at Turin, re ! commending the/n to wait for tho course of oven ts and remain as they 'are, or enroll themselves in the Hnn j garian Legion: and if malters pro I gr ess in such a manner as to offer a ifield for action, due notice will be ' ?riven ? LONDON, Juno 15 P. M. N'o I formal declaration of war has yet j been made, but thc Emperor of Aus I tria, in a speech to the Vienna Cor I poration, yesterday, said that, having j done everything else, he was com i polled to resort to tho sword. I Tho Gorman Diet, by a vote ol' i nine to six, resolved to mobilize thc j federal army. The : russian member ??r?tested from the decision of thc hot. The Austrian representative j insisted on the indissolubility of the I confederation, and the Diet voted its .adhesion to tho Austrian declaration. The proceedings in the British Parliament, on the Kith of .lune, were unimportant. : In the extraordinary trial, in which ' a Mrs. Ryves sought to establish her ' self us a princess of tho royal family, ? her mother having been married to j tho late Duke of Cumberland, thc 1 jury found a verdict again: ! the claimant. The London Times treat* ! the ca se HR an imposture. In the french Corps L?gislatif, M. Ronlier, in reply to Gamier Pages, : said the threatened disturbances iu Europe wero not likely to shake the ' favorable condition of the French budget, but if the expenditure Was increased by necessity of Franco as suming armed neutrality, the Go 1 vernment would, of necessity, con? voke th? Corps Legisla tit". Jule.1 Favre thon opened tho debate upon Mexico. The Bourse, on the 13th of .lune was weak, and closed ut 63f. Political Menu? EXTRA SESSION "TO ADOPT" THE AaiKNDMKNT.-Hie radical Governors of different States are in great doubt whether to call extra sessions of the Legislature, "to adopt" the latest amendment of the reconsfcructionists or not. GOT. Fairchild, of Wiscon? sin, will not call au extra session ol th*? Legislature of that State unless there is unanimity of action in all the States. Gov. Cox, of Olrio, will not, it is said, call an extra session of til? Legislature to consider the constitu t ion al amendment until after the rad? ical State Convention has met. Cox. very properly, looks upon the amend meut report as only the radical.pa'rtj platform, and ho leaves tho whol? matter to the radical State Conven tiou. If the Convention says adopt tho Governor Ls ready to call the Le gislaturc together. IOWA. -The Iowa radical Stat< Convention met at Des Moines las Wednesday. Resolutions were adopt ed favoring the equality of all per sons hot ore the law, endorsing th? constitutional amendment, approvinj tho course of - Congress, advocatini tho enforcement of the Monroe Doc trine, and favoring the equalizatioi of bounties. INDIANA. -The Democrats of Iudi ana opened the campaign with a mas meeting at Indianapolis, last-Frida; night. Judge McDonald and Gen Manson were the speakers. The Dt mocrats ami other conservative citi zens of Owen and adjoining Co un tie will hold a mass meeting at Gosporl on Saturday, Juno 30. KENTUCKY. -The radicals propos to call another State Convection P Covington, July 10. The slate need fixing. Affairs in Kentucky are- rr pidly assuming such a state that thei will be a square issue made l>et\vee the Democratic party on the on hand and tho radical party on til other. These two divisions embrac the distinctive organization of partit in the Northern States, and it is foll to attempt to maintain a s?parai organization or a "third party movt meut" in Kentucky. KANSAS.-A despatch from Topekt Kansas, dated Juno 20, says that tl radical State Committee, now in se sion at that place, have determine upon "a stern and radical policy. They ignore Jim Eone, and will call State Convention soon. TEXAS.-The State election toe place on Monday. James Throe! morton, the conservative candidat is prominent in the canvass. Tl people also vote on the new misceg natcd Constitution, making negro "equal before tiie law," and els where, if possible, "with white men It is generally behoved in some the remote Counties of Texas th this thing can be done by a constit tiounl amendment. OHIO.-The platform adopted 1 the radical party of Ohio propos that, unless negroes are allowed vote, they shall not be counted in tl Congressional basis of represent tion. White women are also exclu ed from the polls, and yet are coin ed in that respect. This the rudie* do not propose to abolish, lt is n representation of suffrage they li alter, but only negro suffrage. T Democratic Central Committees Monroe, Guernsey and Belmo Counties have agreed on the 19th July, and Baruesvillc as tho place, hold the Judicial Convention. T Congressional Convention for t Sixteenth District is to be held Cambridge, on the 2d of August. Tin: TENNESSEE D?L?GATION. - it is probable that the Congressioi delegation from Tennessee will admitted immediately upon t adoption, by that State, of the (.'< stitntional amendment, it is of in rest to know what sort of men it 1 sent. The Senators are Joseph Fowler and David T.

The following- remarks are froai i that admirably conducted. pai>er, th? j National Intelligencer; Wo bail with great ioy and antis- j faction the call for a National Union | Convention, which appears in our J column? to-day. lt is announced to ! tho country under the auspices of | names that, since the outcropping of | the conspiracy against the President, against the tjnion, against the Con- j stitution, and against Republican] form of government itself, arc en? shrined in all true hearts for their j self-sacrificing and courageous efforts I against overwhelming odds to still ' higher exalt the standard of the! TJnion, with not a stripe erased ?nd not a star obscured. As said Na? poleon to tho French people at the dawn of disaster to his army, before allied hosts on tho bloody field of Dresden, "Let all that love me fol? low me; so let all the people of this country who admire and confide in Andrew Johnson, who stand fast by ! his policy and principles, "strike the | resounding shields of departed pa? triots,'' and rally in serried ranks) against the worst form of hostility to constitutional government that has | ever yet developed itself in Ameri? can aifairs. The friends of the President are j still in the full faith that the niasses I of the }>eople do now, as they did at j the opening of the session of Cou- j gross, approve of his course and his I policy as to the rehabilitation of the j late rebel States, and their represen? tation by loyal men in Congress, and J as did the Governors of States, as. auuounced by thc approving organ of thc central directory of tho revo- ! lutionista of Congress, just precedent ; to its assembling in December. The day nor the hour lias not been, when the friends of the President j have not held in proper horror the j conspiracy that was secretly and fur? tively formed to beat back tho ad? vancing waves of popular apprecia? tion of the policy developed in his message to Congress. The day nor the hour has not been that they have I not detested the secret machinations J of a star-chainljer directory over Con grcss, in contempt of the Constitu ] tion and the law. They have success I fully resisted the sum of all villainies ! in unjust legislation, os originally ! presented iu the monstrous inenba- ! tion of the Congressional eonclave. I They now resist it in that modified j form which was made the subject of j Executive protest but two or three j ; j days sine?;. We need not now repeat i I that compact argument against ob- |: ! vious wrong, any more than wo need :1 ! repeat, in this article, the grand prin- ' ! ciples thal are expressed in thc ad- j dress that, to-day, graces our co? lumns. lint through seven tedious, anxious, ! : liarassing months, the friends of the President and his policy have fore borne, hesitated, expostulated, and: protested against the disunionists in ' Congress, in the hope that right counsels might at hist rule the hour, and that the loyal representatives ; from tho South might be admitted to 1 thc Moor of Congress, lint this spirit ; of uuselfi-di and patriotic desire for i harmony has been met only by a! : more indurated resistance, though j ' clothed in more deceptive forms, to j mask its fell intention to forever re- j .duce the people of eleven States of I > the X?hion to thc condition of colo-, nists, to bc controlled by military sa-! trapies a form of ride which, in the i end, would, as all history teaches, j precipitate a heritage ol' woe upon j the entire American people. lint the qualities of patience and forbearance arc completely exhaust- ! ed. Time only remains for a popular rally around the President as the un- | daunted standard-bearer of the con- ; stitutional union of the States. There is scarcely a position of the address ; calling a National Convention of the 1 Unionists of the country that has not been announced, supported and de- : fended in the columns of tho National j I intelligencer. To their support we [pledge "hand-work, heart-work and head-work."' Unquestionably, a ma? jority of the people of tho North are friendly to the principles enunciated, ! and an opportunity is now presented ! of united action upon an issue of nll sorbing; interest and most grave im-j portaneo. To effect the desired ob? ject of success al the polls in the ,. coming autumn, past and effete issues and names should be sunk from sight, and the vital one of exigent moment be written ou all hearts in lines of , living light. ,, - - - Tim MPH oi THEll'.cvui.i:MONISTS IN ST.

They say that the remote cause of the riots was the. ill-feeling existing between the low whites aud blacks, both of whom are about equal in intelligence, being as degraded as human beings can be* and each advancing rival claims to superiority over the other. Tho'di? rect cause was a collision between th?? police, and th*; discharged colored soldiers. The civil authorities took no official action in the matter what ever. The City Recorder made a speech to the mob. urging them t?T> kill the eutire nigger race and burn up the cradle. The quarters of Gen. Runkle were also threatened with de? struction. Three negro churches, eight school-houses-five of which bclongad to the United States-and about fifty private dwellings, occu? pied exclusively by negroes, wore burned. The loss to the Government anti to the negroes will foot up JtW. 300, and probably much higher. It is stated by prominent Senators in Washington that Mr. Seward bas concluded a secret treaty with jSapo loou, by which tho United States is debarred from interfering with th? movement of the foreign troops now supporting Maximilian. After the withdrawal of the French, Maximi? lian, it is understood, will offer him? self as a candidate for the Presidency of the Mexican Republic. Having secured that position, he is to take advantage of any small revolution, of which Mexico affords so many, and declare himself Emperor, thereby Hanking the Monroe doctriue and having a tinner imperial throne than at present. It is probable the Senate will solicit information from Mr. Se? ward concerning this little game. -- m? ? ? - The Liberals in Mexico have re leased the twenty-eight ( 'on federates captured near the Southern dflkmy of Cordova.
