OOLUMBLir S Weouweday Morning, August 1,1^66. Tis? VrUmm** o? Vwtfew Monro*. , Th? Judiciary Committee *W UrtEj Ho aso of Representativos of the< radios! Congress has at Inst made its report on the result of their investi? gations of the charges made against Mr. Davis-treason and complicity in th^?sni^?rtio? s??W^effitft denjL, Ofc flfl^arf? in sahetaneor that Mr. Davis is t*otosrjo?aty gtt?ty oi treason, and that there are no obsta? cles to? speedy ?nd: impartial trial which cannot be removed by legis? lation,. As regards the charge of the com? plicity in the assassination, the com? mittee express the ?pinion that there is probable cause to believe that Jef - ^iersbn^a^isJ*** privy to the mea sajes whiohied to the> assassination of Mr Lincoln, but that-the- investi g?tions made by the War Depart ment and by the Committee, hav< not sufficed to put the G?vermneni in possession of all the facts ol th( c*s& Theythink further time would develop the whole foots of?the case. There was more uiiscrupuloui mendacity embraced in this repor than In any, even of the report of radical committees of Congress Any unprejudiced individual wh< may take the trouble to rea< this document, .will at once come ti tho conclusion that ,they had no evi dence to convict Mr. Davis, and tha the character of the evidence the; had suborned would prevent a con viotion by any honest jury. There i no sane mau in the country who doe not believe that if this conimitte had the shadow of an evidence tha Would lead to conviction, that the would have hesitated one moment t take the necessary steps to have hir tried and hung, Theil own report therefore, eonviots^taem of want c truth and insincerity, in the b?seles insinuations they have had the^'tv frontery to make. In relation to the first- part of the: report, it may well be asked, if tliei were no obstacles to"a_, speedy an impartial trial that could not bc n moved by legislation, why did n< this committee report a bill for thi purpose? Mr. Davis und Iiis conns, haye asked'' repeatedly foe such trial, but which, up to this time, hi been denied-a boon that would u< be denied to the humblest individu of the land accused of any crin* And hero again the report belies j self, ?ui? gives to the world the ruo convincing testimony that those mt indulge iu the hope that the life the illustrious prisoner may be woi out in the fort iu which he is inca cerated, and that thus they wotdd 1 relieved of the ignominy of the who trausaetion, from Iiis being mannell on the first day of his entrance in iU casemates until the present hon One moro thought. Tt strikes that this report, setting forth tho i suit of many months' investigatio would fully justify President Joh son in releasing the prisoner on \ role. His most malignant enerai hiivo found nothing to inculpate li in thc bloody tragedy that dopriv the country of his predecessor, a the united voice of the Christi world would applaud such an act clemency towards the long-snfferi prisoner in Fortress Monroe. Tit? Convention. This body was one of the in imposing wo have seen convened many years in Columbia. The f report wo give of its proceedings harmonious-together with the hi standing of thc delegates chosen represent the State in tho Philacl phia Convention, show that Sm Carolina has maintained her hi character and dignity. Wo may be permitted to cougra late the State for the interest ma t ested in this initiatory m o vern towards restoration, and the perf harmony which characterized all proceedings. The members did tl work promptly and woll, aud hav done this, tiley wisely adjourned. If we mistake not, the Philo phia Convention will do tho sai and that no long session of protrac debates will jar the harmony thal so desirable to the accompTishui of the grout end in view. A number of bodies have b found in tho marsh and woods be Savannah, of soldiers who died in tempting to get away from tho pc lom e which rages on Tybee.

It is an extract from the testimony of J O. Underwinxl, a Judge of tho United States District Court: Q. Could either Jefferson Davis or Robert E. Let? bo convicted of trea? son in Virginia? _" A. Oh.lno! unless yea had ? packed CJould you manege to pack a ! jury there? A. I think it would bo very dif? ficult, but it could be done. I could pack a jury to convict him. If this be be not a sarcasm on Un? derwood's jury, which had packed at Richmond, and who found a true bill against Mr. Davis, it is the. most shameless of tho many shameless doings of the faction, that we have yet heard. For the sake of the Ame? rican character, and for the reputa? tion of the judiciary of tho country, we hope the extract is only impro? vised by tho Age, as a fliug at the learned (?) judge. As the New York Neva very appropriately remark j, large as our experience'of radical cor? ruptions and impudence has been, we were unprepared for this. Such utter Ishamelessuess passes concep? tion. Unable to comprehend, we feel inadequate to the task of criticising it, and merely call attention to it ns an exhibition of indifference to in? famy that has in it a tonoli of the sublime. That tho radicals were capable of conceiving such a plot to take thc life of the distinguished prisoner, their past acts would seem to testify to, but that it should be put on record, certainly must indicate un oversight, or a defiance of all laws, human <>i divine.

He gives u summary of som<- o the drawbacks the planter lias had b contend with: bad seed, unfavorabl weather and the worms and insects And yet, after all these, he comes t the conclusion that there will he full half crop, if not more.

' Tlie Convention of the delegates , it .MU the people of South Carolina, ? to make arrangement? for having the fitate represented in the'Philadelphia Convention, met, yesterday morning, 1st inst, in the Baptist Church, at ll o'clock A. M. On motion, Hon. B. F. Perry was called to the chair, and Messrs. F. J. Moses, Jr., and W. L. DePuss appointed Score tarie?. Major J. A. Leland, from Abbe? ville, after a few pertinent remarks, moved that the proceedings of the Convention be opened with prayer by Rev. Wm. Martin. After n very ap? propriate prayer by the reverend gen? tleman, it was moved that the dele? gates enrol their names by Districts in alphal>etieal order. The Districts of Beaufort, Edgefield, Horry and York were not represented. All the other Districts were well represented. On motion of Mr. Mikell, from Berkeley District, the following com? mittee, to nominate permanent officers of tho Convention, was appointed: Messrs. Mikell, Robertson, Harri? son, Gibbes and J. B. Campbell. Tho committee reported the fol- : lowing names, which -were adopted : President-.Tames L. Orr. Vie*-Presidents-Wade Hampton. B. H. Brown, W. C. Dudley, Gabriel | Cannon. Secretaries-F. J. Moses. Jr., W. L. DePuss. Which officers were duly confirmed by the Convention. Governor Orr, in assuming thc po? sition., of President, addressed the Convention in substance as follows: He returned thanks to the Commit? tee for the honor conferred upon him; huton assuming them, he said he knew the experience and ameni? ties so well known to the members, would render the duties of the office agreeable. He said the eall for the National Convention was nuexveptiou able, and was gratified to see that the di fi?rent Districts of the State had so universally responded to the call. Being of a hopeful nature, aud the issues so directly presented to us were of such a character that it would be cowardly to give up. The object of the Philadelphia Convention was to solidify the vote of the North and West, against the radicals. The issues wen: made up between the President and radicals. The radicals have now tho control of tho legislative depart? ment of the Government; they have tuleen steps to obtain the control of tho judiciary department, aud unless the radicals were defeated, they would, before tho 1st ol' January next, impeach the President. He said the call was made by n committee, tho majority of whom were from the Republican party, bul tin- object was to unite the anti-wai Democrats, Republicans and others all consolidated to thwart and defeat tin- radical party in Congress. Gov. Orr's address was eminently conservative, and reeoived thc appro bation of tin- whole Convention. Hi concluded by invoking the blessing; of Heaven upon their deliberations. Mr. Robertson offered a resolution that tin- sauie parliamentary rnlei which governed the Senate und Hous< of Representatives of this Stat? should govern this body. Adopted A resolution also ottered by Mr. lt. was so modified that the voies ii this Convention be regarded :us takei by majority, but that any mombo: might ci!! lor ?i vote by Districts eaeli District voting the number o votes it might lu- entitled to in tin L?gislature. Mr. Keitt, from Newberry, ?ftere? the following resolution: Resolved, That the delegates fron . adi Congressional District be em powered to nominate two delegates t< represent the State at large and ton delegates to represent each Congie.-, si. . nal District in the. Convention t< l?e held at the city ?d' Philadelphia on t he 14th instant; and that thesi nominations be submitted to tin; Convention at its next sitting foi their action. After sundry amendments had beei offered, and ;i friendly discussion 01 t he subject, participated in by Messrs Hampton, Keitt, Dudley, McGowan Robertson, Trescott, T. Y. Simons Cannon and Rion, the following sub stitute for the resolution was adopt ?i\ by the Convention : Resolved, That this Convention ap proves the restoration policy of Pre ?dent Johnson; os opposed to tho radi ?al policy of Congress, ian! thut we ac ;ept the invitation to unite with tin conservatives of the country in tin National Convention to be held ii Philadelphia, on the 11th instant. Resolved, That th delegates fron ?ach Congressional District shall no aiinate two delegates from their re ipectivo Districts, and report thei ?election to on adjourned meeting o ibis Convention. Resolved, That this Convent ioi ni??ir ri y"ir - ?g?gfc i ftoggjil io elect the fotir delegates for fcefctate a* large. On motion, th? Convention took a .ecess until G p. m. RKCB8R.

The Advertiser answers the above ! question as follows: An advertisement under the head of "A plan to restore the mail service to the South," addressed to the peo? ple of Virginia, North and South Ca? rolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis? sippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkan? sas, Missouri, Florid?? ind Texas, has found its war into t. temi Southern papers, including the Advertiser, without their being able, we pr?same, to answer the question at the head of this article-who is Bryan Tyson, of I North Carolina? As well for the benefit of those who have already been duped as for others he designs to dupe, we will en? deavor to inform the public who Mr. Bryan Tyson, of North Carolina, is. The answer is in his own words: He was one of the few at the South who adhered steadfastly to the Union. He had supernatural rea? sons for believing that the Southern Confederacy was destined to fall; consequently he deemed it expedient to cross the lines, more effectually to plead the cause of Mr. Lincoln, and to convinco the Northern fanatics that the great mass of the people a*, the South were with them. To further these ends, he publish? ed a book, in Washington, under the title of "A Ray of Light," which had not much effect upon tho leaders of the South, but oxerted a great influ? ence among the masses in the inte? rior of North Carolina, and he thinks if he could have got it among the poople at large, he could have brought down the Confederacy long before it fell. This was Mr. Bryan Tyson, of 1861-2-3. And who is Mr. Bryan Tyson, of 'Go? Let him answer: We-that is, the people of the South-must quit praising those head rebels, cease celebrations in commemoration of dead rebels, send Southern Union men (i. e. Holden, Brownlow, Hamilton Helper and himself) to Congress, confer free suffrage on the negro, invite Yankee school-marms to come and educate the freedmen, cease abusing the radi? cal traitors in Congress, freely sur? render our all into the hands of the immaculate agents of the Bureau, whether clerical or lay, and let him take nil the Southern mail contracts, and get from two and a half to five cents on the contracts, and then pa? tiently wait for the inillenium. Thif is Mr. Bryan Tyson, of 1866. What think ye of him, reader? Is he nol a vile slanderer of thc living and thc dead, a traitor to his country and hu God, a canting, lying, hypocrite, ant a would-be swindler of Lis country men? Shun him, ?puru him, spil upou him! He deserves to bescourg ed naked and bare-footed over everj mile of mail route in the State: above named, with a scourge niadi of asp stings aud rattlesnake teetl cemented together with the froth o hydrophobia. Pass him around. -- ?????-? From Wanhlngton. The.correspondent of the Bult i mor S//? writes: Yullandighum was hero in the earl; part of this week, and was imp?t tuned by a personal friend, a war de m ocr at, of his district, to withdraw from the contest for delegate to th Philadelphia Convention, inasinue as there was an odium attached to hi nunn- (whether justly founded or not which would tend to lessen the infle euee of the Philadelphia Convention should he be i-< .veted.

He has thus far failed to r< spond to the call f?.r the Philadelphi Convention, notwithstanding a cop of the circular call was sent to hil the day after it was issued, with th request that he give his views upo the proposed Convention and tb principles set forth in the circula Some days ago, his intimate frient privately stated that they knew Mi Stanton would, in a day or two, sen a letter to the Chairman of the N: tional Union Club, endorsing th call. There is good evidence tin Mr. Stanton talks differently to h radical friends, and it is the de term nation of the President's supporte] to compel, if possible, a direct un unequivocal showing from the Seen tan- of War, so that it may be know whether he is in unison with the rt dieid sentiment, or au unqualifie supporter of the administration.

It re? sists the application of President Johnson's principles; to what other principles has it given effect? It as? serts that the States which Grant and Sherman, and Sheridan and Thomas restored to the Union, are really still out of the Union; has it passed any measure dealing with them as Terri? tories? Has it thrown into the form of law any one of the purposes which its leaders have avowed, or given any sign of carrying ont what is repre? sented as its will? Has it enacted the punishment of the Southern people? Has it provided for the confiscation of Southern property? Has it con? ferred upon the negro the right of suffrage ? These are all radical ideas; all parts of the great radical plan, which members of the House will tell their constituents has been deemed preferable to the President's plan. But the difference between them is this: That the President's plan, wh. .ever are its defects, is practical; he 1 > applied it practically and with good results; while the radical plan is impracticable, and has amounted to nothing, except asan obstruction. A DUEL.-We learn from a gentle? man who was near the scene, that a duel was fought at Moseley's Ferry, on the Abbeville side of the Savan nab Hiver, on Saturday morning last, between a Captain Birch and a Mr. Knight, young lawyers from Elber? ton, Gu. The distance was eight paces, and there was to be no propo? sition of adjustment previous to the third tire. At the second fire, how? ever, Mr. Knight was rdiot through both thighs. The wound, though painful, is a flesh wound, and not regarded dangerous. As usual, the fight, we hear, was about a ladv.

Congressional reports, to be used ts inflammatory electioneering docu? ments for the coming campaign, are the order of the day.
