COLTJMBIA. Wednesday Morning, Joly 25,18?6. Hxstormttom. Wo nre'riigT?ly gratified to observe the iinaidiui*y.<)? the people pf South Carolina in responding to the call for a National Union Convention. They ?were tiiefltstcpeopleto "rebel," when? they thought their rights encroached upoB, ancUl is eminently proper they should be tho first. to return to the Union, after having referred their cause to the arbitrament of arms and sustained? defeat. Loyal and true as they wtere t? their own cause, they are not less so' to-day to the Union. Wherever their faith is plighted, there wiH they be found to redeem it. Our District meeting has selected very ebie and competent gentlemen to represent the people of Bichland in the Convention, To that Conven? tion is confided & high trust-one of the most important, perhaps, that has ever been given to the people of the State; and wo hope they will exercise their discretionary powers with judgment. We conceive it to be in bad taste to-nominate any gen? tlemen tb the Philadelphia Conten? tion, but would suggest that our Senators and Representatives elect to the Congress of the Uniteci States are probably the best men wo could select as one-half of our representa? tives in that body. The others should be chosen from our most experienced men", without regard to their antece? dents in public life. We hopo that such men as Gov. Orr, ox-Gov. Perry, Gen. " Wade Hampton and ex-Gov. Pickens will be called to represent the State at largo, and that the Con? gressional Districts, besides their im? mediate representatives, will select men of a similar status to represent their people. Tennessee. The Nashville Union and American, of Friday, has the following com? ments' on the proceedings of the so called legislation of the previous day: The House proceedings yesterday were important. An imperfect sketch of them will be found in the proper column. Their extraordinary charac? ter, however, deserves a more graphic description' than reporters are accus? tomed to give. The result of the morning's session was an arbitrary declaration by forty-three members of the presence of a quorum-over? riding the decision of the Speaker to the contrary; and, under this ruling, a precipitate majority vote was had upon the ratification of the constitu? tional amendment Tinder the gag of the previous question-there being but fifty-four votes-two less than a quorum-recorded. In the evening, there was an attempt to undo the wrongful and illegal proceedings in regard to Messrs. Williams and Martin, but all attempt at business failed for want of a quorum, and tho body dissolved until this morning, at 10 o'clock. -Immediately on the announcement of the result upon tho vote in regard to ratification, all radicaldom was jubi? lant. The vote was, ayes 43, noes ll, the requisite two-thirds not being pre? sent and participating. Messrs. Wil? hams and Martiuwero under arrest in a room adjacent to tho hall of Repre? sentatives, and not present in their capacity as legislators, but steadfastly refusing to so act. By a fiction of the constructive presence of these gentlemen, the radical leaders as? sumed the existence of a quorum and consummated the unholy work of formally committing the people of Tennessee to the endorsement of a measure to which nineteen-twentieths of them are known to be opposed, and known, too, to bo so by the very men who have used this disreputable legislative legerdemain to give it sem? blance of legality. Irregular, illegal, monstrous as it is, however, tho act seemed to thrill and intoxicate tho radical perpetrators and abettors with furious and insane joy. Tho organ issued an extra, and tho Governor transmitted a taunting and insulting message, to be delivered to tho Pre? sident. As a specimen of Guberna? torial malignity, we put tho latter on record. It is extracted from the or? gan's extra, and reads thus: MESSAGE TO THE PltESTDENT. NASHVILLE, TELN., July 19, 12 o'clock M. Hon. Edwin Stanton, Sea-elan/ of, War, Washington, D. C.: My compliments to the President. We have carried the constitutional amendment in the House. Vote-43 to ll, two of his tools refnsintr to vote. W. G. BROWNLOW, Governor of Tennessee. The President will pass unheeded the despicable spirit of this paper, but it will serve its purpose, and be rolled as a sweet morsel under the tongue of the vengeful leaders of tho radical party in Congress, who are attempting to paralyze his noble efforts to redeem the nation and re? store it to peace and prosperity. Two hundred British officers yet survive the battle of Waterloo. - r St?te Items. -~Plo?C|NS?r-The -Keowee Goutier says: :?' The wheat crop is not averaging, in this section^ more than ?Arf-crop of former years. Many persons are ?with out .bread; and no means of sup Elying their wants. Oat meal, we ear, is being tried with tolerable suc? cess. Vegetation is suffering greatly for .the want of rain. Farmers are de? pressed with the prospect of the corn crop, and not. we believe, without abundant cause. The barn of Mr. Robert McWhor tex,- of, this District, was burned on Sunday night last. The barn con? tained Mr. McWhorter's wheat cop, (about 200 bushels,) and some pro? vender. J CHARLESTON.-Robberies are fre? quent. Mr. Wim Rouse, a jeweler, was robbed of about twenty watches, dn Triday evening. Detectives were put on tho track of the thieves, and : throe freedmen were arrested on sus? picion. A portion of the stolen pro- ! perty was recovered. The building on East Bay reported on fire, in the Caitrin-, at thc hour of going to press Monday morning, was totally destroyed. Thc property be? longed to Mr. John M. T?uhy, and was n?t insured. * A large and enthusiastic meeting was held on tho 23d instant, for thc purpose of appointing delegates to tho Columbia Convention, at which a number of eloquent speeches were delivered. The following delegates were appointed: J. B. Campbell, W. S. Hastie, M. P. O'Connor, James M. Carson, T. Y. Simons, J. M. Rason, J. E. Carew, W. J. Gayer, G. L. Buist, W. G. Whilden, T. J. Kuan ir', Jas. Cosgrove, J. H. Steimnycr, jr., G. H. Moffett, Z. Davis, Benj. Lucas, F. J. Pelzer, P. C. Kerrigan, B.. O'Neill, W. Y. Leitch, J. B. Cohen, H H. Raymond. After the announcement of the re? sult, H. L. Jeffers, Esq., rose, and after some brief and appropriate re? marks, offered a resolution, which was unanimously agreed to, that it ia the sense of this meeting that the Hon. Wm. Aiken and the Hon. J. B. Camp? bell are suitable gentlemen to repre? sent this Congressional District, and the Hon. W. D. Porter to bo one of the representatives of the State at large in the National Union Conven? tion, to be held in Philadelphia on the 14th of August next, and that their appointment by the State Con? vention to meet in Columbia will meet the cordial approbation of the citizens of Charleston. It has been known for a long time past that Charleston was flooded with counterfeit money, aud especially with spurious fractional currency. Through the persevering energy of Police Lieut. Hendricks and Detect? ives Coates and Farrell, two Italians, the principal agents in the dissemina? tion of these worthless bills, have beeu arrested, and on Monday a pre? paratory examination took place be? fore Daniel Horlbeck, Esq., United States Commissioner. The evidence makes some startling developments. KERSHAW.-Thc continued dry wea? ther we are enjoying at tiny time is anything but desirable to insure a fuir crop. Under tho most propitious circumstance*, the prient majority of our planters will fail to make a hall' croj) of either corn or cotton-the wheat crop having been light every? where-and many will fail in making the seed they have sown. An Kxtract Of the. Presentment af the Grand Jury of Lexint/ton JJis'rict, Extra Term, July, I860. We furthermore, seeing the dis? tressed condition of our country, the destitution of its citizens ami the ruin now threatening them, most earnestly recommend to our fellow-citizeus to forbear the institution of suits for debts agr?nst their debtors. In mak? ing this recommendation to the peo? ple, we do it laying asi le nil personal considerations, and from motives purely and entirely devoted to tho good and interests of our fellow citizens.

SIMON P. WINGARD, C. C. P. and G. S. GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS AND EXPEN? DITURES.-The official statement just published shows that between the 1st of July, 18G5, and 31st March, 1866, tho receipts of tho United States Government from ail sources was $949,159,535.66; the expenses for all purposes and objects, 8818,60S, - 839.62.

A gentleman in New Haven has been engaged in an interesting enter? prise. He has caught, in his garden, with twenty-four wide-mouthed bot? tles, partly filled with molasses and vinegar, three bushels of flies, bugs, millers, etc. The bottles were hung upon his garden fence. During tho first seven days, the amount of flies, etc., caught was forty-two solid quarts. w "i?...-?.-, v.-*. "te?.?? ?i?T-r>rri-i'rvi*i-. ' Our Prc?? ?t Statu*.

If there was any disposition on tho part ftf thc Southern peoplo to op? press ?nd pers?cute negroes, refugees and so-called "true loyal TJuion men" -a proposition which we utterly .deny-jt would be found very difficult to force justice out of us. General Grant's recent military order, which , would Boom to contemplate such a cours?, is to be deeply regretted, as lit will naturally have an opposite effect from thnt intended. The great error of sotoe of thc Federal authori? ties, military and civil, consists iu thc belief that the sword is a cure foi every evil -a panacea for all moral, Boeial and political disorders. Nc graver or moro serious mistake wai over committed than the formation oi such.nn opinion aud tho exercise ol correspondent action under iL.

( )u magistrates, judges and jurors ar sworn to the discharge of their duty and they respect oaths as much as tb peoplo of any other portion of th world. It is wrong in principle au mischievous in practice to attempt t coerce them by the arrest and deter tion of parties whom they have ut deemed worthy of punishment. The recent case of Mr. J. H.

Should Prussia, flushed -with the splendid results of a brief campaign which has wreathed anew the laurels of tho great Frederic and of Blucher aboat her commanders and her armies, now accept tho peaco which Austria proffers to her by the hand of Napoleon III, the war of 1866 may be- known in history as thc "seven days' war. " The ' 'Seven Years' War" mude Frederic II immortal. The h>st Napoleon gave the name of the "seven weeks' war" to the campaign of 1811 in France. The "seven days' war" began with tho first collision between the armies of Prussia and Austria, in Bohemia, on the 20th of June, and ended, if ended it now shall prove to bc, with the over? whelming victory of thc Prussians at Sadowa, on the 3d of July, 1866. The suddenness and completeness of this victory has taken all Europe by sur]?rise, und tho ?iceormts of lt which reached us on Sunday, by the Novo. Scotian, are e<mfusedand bewildered by the emotion which the simpletid iugs had awakened both in England and in France, j Befor<> we proceed to speculate on I the probable issues of this great ruili j tary event, and of the diplomatic ac I lion by which it was immediately fol? lowed, let us endeavor to educe from the telegram** which have roached us some clear idea of tho scene of thc decisive conflict, and of it? immediate military effects. The storming of ( J it sci i in by the Prussians, which al? lowed Prince Frederic Charles, at thc head of the Anny of the Elbe, and the Crown l'rince, at the head ot' th?. Army of Silesia, to unite their force? ; in the heart of North-western Bobe j mia, threatened the left wing aue i centre of the Austrian army in Bobe : mia with annihilation, and compelled ! Marshal Benedck, abandoning al other objects, to withdraw his wholi strength and attempt a reconcentra tion of his army behind the rive Elbe, and under cover of the for tresses of Josephstadt and K?nigs grut:1:, on the Eastern bank of tba river. Leaving Fragile and all North I western Bohemia to their late, th ! Austrians accordingly seem to hav ; pushed in haste from Gitschin East wardry and South-eastvvardly toward i tho river. The Prussians presse ; hard, however, on their retreatin 1 enemy; and after reaching the BUM j town of Horzitz, which lies abor , fifteen mil? s to the East of Gitschh ! the army of Benedek, striking thom . Southwardly for the Elbe, was ove: ; taken by thc united Prussian annie: accompanied now bj- King Williai ; in person, at tho village of Sadowt which is situated upon the slope of ! semi-circular range of hills on tl: ? main road between Horzitz and K< nigsgratz, being distant from il ? former place about five miles, au from the latter between seven an eight miles. Here, in one of thoi easily defensible positions ii* whit : Bohemia abound-;, and with whit thc Austrian commanders must 1 presumed to be familiar, Marsh Benedek made a final stand "f Kaiser ami Fatherland." K?nig gratz., for which he was ai min though ns a regular fortress no long formidable against the artillery our times, is considered by milita inen to be the linest defensible po: i tion which exists on the circuito course of the Elbe, from its sonrc in the Riosen-gebirge, the mounta frontier between Silesia and Bol mia. to its junction with the Iser Brandeiso and with the "rushi 'MoMaii' at Melnik. But Konij gratz Hie anny of Marshal Bi ned was not destined intact to reach, j was assailed at Sadowa by the. Fri sinus, with tho organized impetuos which has marked all their op rath in this brief but extraordinary ca paign; and after a furious umi s: guinnry battle, lasting through t lon-;- summer's day, was utterly i teated, with a loss, as the telegru report to us, so tremendous as pr tically to disorganize ami paralyze either for offensive or defensive p poses.

THE BURNING WEATHER.-The heated term of I860 will be memora? ble in after times us the longest and hottest term known to our local his? tory since tho origiual settlement of ?Manhattan Island. We have had warm weather for a long period at a time, and some days in every year are as hot as any known near the tro? pics, but never have wo had such burning, deadly and continuous heat as that which, wo trust, ended yester? day. Never was rain longed for so fer venfcly as during the last three days. There were 820 finierais in this city, yesterday, or nearly as many as occur during an ordinary week, and many dead aro unburied because of the impossibility of getting undertakers to attend to them all. It is noticea? ble that, notwithstanding LHs dread? ful weather, there is no increise in the number of cholera cases, only one or two occurring each day. If this weather should continue, employer* who have men employed ia ont loor labors would do wel? to stop work during tho heat of the day. It is downright murder to make men work in the sun with the mer? cury nearly 100 degrees in the shade. The list of deaths we publish daily, from sun-stroke alone, is simply ap? palling.

Another brother attempted to rescue him and was also suffocated, and a third brother, in the same attempt, met his death in tho same manner.
