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.

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.

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. If we mistako not, thc
( lovera or is preparing to make a sum?
mer tour among the mountains of

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.
All .such electors in thu thirty-s
States and nine Territories of tl
United States, and in tho District
Columbia, who, in a spirit of patric
ism and lovu for the Union, can ri
above personal and sectional com

Thc Laitit from Europe.
! 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

ifield for action, due notice will be

? 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

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.

to attempt to maintain a s?parai

TUc Sinttonol Convention.
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.

Tho report of an investigation of
the Memphis riots, mode by Colonel
Johnson, Inspector-General uf the
Department of Kentucky and Ten?
nessee, and Major Gilbreth, Aid to
General Howard, and Assistant Com
missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau,
bas been made public. 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.
