PHIUADKTJPHIA, August 17.-Many
of the delegates to the Convention
left last evening; the balance leave to?
day. The proceedings throughout
. were -most harmonious-not a single
event to mar thc good feeling. The
address; but not the resolutions, was
written, by Henry J. Raymond. It is
merely the resolutions elaborated.
Daring its reading, for a time, almost
- breathless silence was preserved.
The President requested the dele?
gates and spectators to manifest no
sign of approval, or to make other
demonstrations, till the reading was
completed. This request secured
quiet, until the speaker arrived at the
following paragraph :
"And the 10,000,000 of Americans
who live in the South would be un?
worthy citizens of a free common?
wealth, degenerate sons of an heroic
ancestry? unfit ever to become guard?
ians of the rights and principles be?
queathed to us by the fathers and
founders of the republic, if they
could accept with uncomplaining sub?
mission the humiliations thus sought
to be imposed upon them."
The entire audience then broke
forth in an unrestrained burst of ap?
plause, which lasted for several mi?
nutes. At the conclusion of this en?
thusiasm, a demand was made that
the paragraph quoted be read over
again, which was assented to, and
again the applause broke forth with
redoubled effect. The press club
Kvo a splendid banquet to the meie?
rs of the press last night, at which

Tac New York Tribune.
Tho following excellent article on
the New York Tribune is from a
Catholic paper, the Philadelphia Uni?
verse:
The Tribune has two great talents
-ono 'or exciting fanatics to spill
blood, and ono for collecting the
blood and fastening all tho crime
attached to it on iuuocent parties. It
is from rabid negrophily it hos con?
ceived this duplex diabolical charac?
ter. An instance has just 0CC1 rred,
We mean the lato riot in New Or?
leans. The Tribune is tho gospel of
the miserable wretches who provoked
that shockiug tumult; and all thc gore
shed in it, Mr. Greeley has cupped
up and dashed into the face of the
President of tho United States him?
self. Can wicked journalism go to a
greater excess in public atrocity?
But it is in strict accordance with
the spirit which taught, and even still
insinuates, that the Constitution is a
league with hell; and which had much
more thau half to do in causing the
late rebellion. Nothing can be more
remote from tho truth than that the
President is culpable in any degree
whatever for the blood spilled in New
Orleans. The contrary is entirely the
case. . At the moment when riot was
apprehended, he was notified by tele?
graph of the danger. Ho responded
at once, directing Gen. Sheridan to
be brought in to preserve the peace.
But it was too late. The negro aud
the radical tempers were up, and the
riot broke out. The only thing
agreeable iu tho* matter is, that the
rioters have been the chief sufferers.
This is the whole subject in a nut?
shell.
The President was never a rioter.
Ho never employed unfair means to
effect political ends. Ho never de?
livered inflammatory harangues. He
must bo supposed to have a higher
regard for the splendid dignity of his
office tbuu to provoke bloody, politi?
cal tumult iu any place. He is too
humane as a man to have any part
whatever in sanguinary outbreaks.
And, certainly, his plan of recon?
struction, as elevated in wisdom as
his adherence to it is heroic against
tho radical opposition pitted against
him, needs no support from riot. The
Tribune is not ignorant of this. But,
fanaticism for the negro, partizan
malice, and recklessness in provok?
ing riot, to chorge.the blood spilled
ou a political enemy, weigh more
with it than knowledge, truth and
justice.
A great political campaign is at
hand. To win it, the Tribune incites
tumult, aud, gathering up the blood
shed ia tho tumult, charges all, with
fiendish glee, on tho Chief Magis?
trate of the nation. Tho Robe
spierres of the French Revolution
did nothing worse against tho King
than this. Perhaps the Tribune is
aiming at the assassination of the
President, lt is not a blacker crime
to plot such a murder than to pro?
voke negroes and white fanatics to
riot, and then to sponge np the blood
shed in the riot, and squeeze it down
on the President's head, making him
guilty for all. And certainly there
can be no difficulty for tho Tribune
in making the negroes and white fa?
natics whom it has both goaded into
riot, and convinced that tho blood
shed on . tho occasion is entirely
chargeable to Andrew Johnson, look
upon the death of thc same Andrew
Johnson as a thing of great private
and public justice and expediency.
Negroes and white fauatics are rapid
in bloody conclusions, 4iud writers
like those in the Tribune oflico do not
hesitate much to insinuate them. But
for all these riots and nefarious re?
solves among negroes and fanatics, a
condition of things nationally good
exists. The radical Congress has ad?
journed, utterly defeated in its bad
purposes; tho wiso reconstruction
plan of the President cannot bo baf?
fled; and a true National Convention,
the design of the President, is at
hand, which will re-knit the North
aud thc South.
NORTH CAROLINA.-Tho latest ad?
vices on the constitutional election,
place the majority, so far as heard
from, for rejection a;. 2,871.
Vron* Wastviogtao..
The correspondent of the Balti?
more Sun -writes:
Sundry radioal presses are present?
ing their several campaign phaser- It
will be seen that they contemplate" a
struggle which, as they say, will pro?
duce "civil war in a? the Northern
and Western States." If they do not
win, this war, they say, is inevitable.
They claim that they have every loyal
free State of 1860, and West Virginia
and Missouri besides. They do not
claim Maryland nor Delaware. When,
by virtue of their scheme for remov?
ing the President, they can command
the military power of the country,
they will assert their claims to Ten?
nessee and Louisiana and other South?
ern States.
It will soon be seen more distinctly
than ever that we have on hand a war
between the Executive and the Legis?
lative branches of the Government.
It is a war which will admit of no
mediation, no truce and no negotia?
tion. A radical member of Congress
disclosed, in a published letter, at the
late session, that "Congress must
crush the President, or the President
will crush Congress."
The Southern Radical Convention
is to be held in Philadelphia on the
3d of September. It is stated that
Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky
will send delegates. It is also ru?
mored that a national convention cf
rebel and loy J. soldiers, who served
in tho late war, will be held in Phila?
delphia this fall.
Commander Sartori, who has in?
vestigated the report of abduction
of freedmen along the coast of Flori?
da, has reported that there are no
i evidences of thc alleged illegal traffic,
nor any violations of law or ordor on
the coast.
Queen Emma visited the President
this evening. Mrs. Johnson, Mrs.
Patterson, Mrs. Welles and Mrs.
Stansbery were present at the inter- I
view. Tho President addressed his j
visitor as Queen Emma, and said he
would now do in person what the
Acting Secretary of State had already
done-extend to her Majesty a cor?
dial welcome to the capital of a na?
tion of thirty minions of people. It
was not because the guest was a
Queen that this welcome was extend?
ed, but because of her great merits
and good works, tho fame of which
had preceded her. The cordial wel?
come was extended on account of the
effects of the visit in the cause of hu- j
manityand Christianity. If, said the
President, I was disposed to bo face?
tious, I should say that in this coun?
try all men are kings and all women
are queens. Our rulers derive their
power fr^m the people, and, conse?
quently, all arc royal. Therefore,
when you address any man or wo?
man in this country, you talk to roy- ?
alty, to a king or queen. lu conclu?
sion, the President heartily welcomed
his guest. Alter engaging in conver- j
sation for some moments, the royal
party retired.
THE EMPRESS.-Mrs. Anna ('ora I
Ritchie, tho London correspondent j
of the New York New*, mentions the
following about the Empress Eugenie:
Tho Emperor Napoleon has been
urged to institute a decoration which
should be given exclusively to wo?
men for acts of courage, devotedness,
or charity. It is hoped that the order
will be called Eugenie. Tho noble
conduct of the Empress, who walks
so fearlessly among the cholera
stricken patients in France, aud bears :
a healing balm ~*ith the stimulus of j
her presence, deserves that her name 1
should descend to posterity, attached i
to such an order.
At Nancy she crossed on foot a j
popular quarter of the city, followed j
by a crowd, who grasped at her j
clothes in their enthusiasm, ands
actually toro her muslin dress. TheT.
bits were struggled for by the crowd j
-every ono wanted to secure, as a I
relic, a shred of the garment worn by j
the "Providence blonde." The Em- !
press only smiled and allowed the de- i '
struction.
The Empress also visited the House
of Correction, for juvenile offenders,
at Nancy, and talked to the youthful
culprits, who wept at her kindness.
In tho afternoon the prefect present?
ed 150 of the ladies of Nancy, w in'.;
tho Prince Imperial received their
children, whom he invited to luncheon
the next day.
Ou her return to Paris, the Em- |
press was received in the heartiest j
manner by an immense crowd, which '
had gathered at tho station. Thc !
Emperor passed through tho throng,
and himself opened the door of the |
saloon carriage, lifted out tho Prince
Imperial, and kissed him repeatedly.
He then handed out the Empress, ami j
took off his hat as he embraced her.
Tho Empress v :>re a dress of pink
and white striped silk, looped over a
petticoat of tho same, black silk man?
telet, and a white bonnet. As usual,
the Prince wore a suit of brown hol?
land.
The tobacco crop of Virginia and
North Carolina for thc present year
is estimated at 50,000 hogsheads,'but
it will be no matter for surprise if it
should largely overrun this estimate,
and approximate moro nearly to the
ante-war crops of 80,000 hogsheads.
From every quarter of tobacco-grow?
ing portions of the ?tate, come the
most flattering accounts, both of the
amount planted and tho condition of
tho crop.
Three lady tourists have already ;
lost their lives in Switzerland this ?

The pale, sweet moonlight, low
murmur of the distant cow-bells, the
chime of fluttering insect-music, the
far off notes of the soft-throated whip
poor-will, the mellow cadence of
wind whispers, the song of wild
locusts and tho holy influences of the
dreamy dim, shadowy night, makes
us long and weep for something, we
know not what, to quiet the unrest j
of a wretohed heart. Oh, it seeni"'80
hard to live day after day with this
aching in the soul, with little rest,
from pain and pangs and woe. The
flower-laden breeze from over the
dark blue river fans our hot cheek
and toys with our hair, but on its
fleeting breaths brings olden memo?
ries so sweet, long gone, and yet sad.
Black eyes and blue, dark hair and
golden, true hearts and false, joy and

storm-swept waste of wretchedness
end?-Smithland {Ky.) Times.

"The August rains make the corn
crop," is an old saying in the corn
growing region. Last week, some
apprehension was felt at tho long
continuance of dry weather, and tho
corn planters were praying heartily
for rain. They were blessed with a
copious fall of rain on Sunday night,
which must bo a great relief. The
ground, however, has been saturated.
Tho promise of the corn crop in
Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and in
the North-west is very fine. Tho
wheat crop has turned out rather
better than was expected. It is of
good quality, though not abundant in
quantity. Cheap bread we may not
have through our wheat crop, but we
may hope for it through our abun?
dant supply of Indian corn.
Corn means not only bread au J
meal capable of preparation in a
hundred excellent ways, but it means
bacon and beef, poultry and eggs,
mutton and lamb, milk and butter,
fleeces and hides, lard and tallow, and
many other things that aro indispen?
sable in ordinary consumption.
Let us be thankful, then, for the
August rains.-National Intelligencer.
IRELAND PROSPERING.-Au edito- !
rial correspondent of the Albany Ar- j
gus takes a very hopeful view of the
future of Ireland, as follows:
"The progress among tho people !
in wealth ami education is decided.
The Catholic University rivals the
Queen's Colleges in giving instruc?
tion to the people, and the rudi?
ments of learning are pretty generally
diffused. Tho rate of wages rises
steadily, food is cheap and abun?
dant, and the climate is free from
the extremes of heat and cold that
tell with such severity upon the la?
boring poor in our land. The con?
vivial habits of the better classes, for
which Ireland was once famous, and
which the memoirs of Sir John Bar?
rington, and the hardly Jess histori?
cal stories < >f Lever, give us amusing
accounts, have given was to soberer
moods and less riotous life. The
teachings of Father Matthew have
made" many disciples among tho poor.
The records ol tho police show less
disorder, and the assizes have fewer
crimes of violence to pass upon.
A scientific way of lighting pipes
and segara has been recently intro?
duced in Paris, under tho name of
poudre dc fen. It consists of pyropho
rons, winch is preserved in a small j
tin case w ith narrow orifice. When !
a little of tliis black powder is poured ;
out on tho end of a segar, or on the
tobacco in a pipe stein, and then
gently breathed upon, it becomes in
candescent, and is in a condition to |
light said pipe or segar. What next? ,
Why there aro little tubes sold con- j
taining pellets of potassium, and they !
?ire recommended to tho juvenile j
Parisians as a means of forming
splendid Gregorian lire-works on any i
convenient piece of water! Could Sir '
H. Davy sec this, he would bens much
astonished a.s we should in seeing him. j
A Newport correspondent gives an \
anecdote of Mr. Treavers, a well- !
known New Yorker, spending the j
sumnit r there. When in Paris, some
years since, he wont into a bird store
to purchase a parrot. Accosting the
attendant, a gruff, burly old chap, in !
wig and tights, he said: "M-m-my
friend, I w-w-waut to get a parrot. " i
"Hero is one, sir," replied the sales?
man, "a regular beauty." "B b-bnt
[ w-w-want w-wone that cari talk; i
c-C-can this w-wone t-t-talk?" "Talk! i
I rather guess it can. If it couldn't !
talk better than you eau, I'd cut his j
il-d head off."
CAN'T OFT CERTIFICATES.-The Ma?
con Journal and Messenger is sorry to
joe that tho American citizens of
African descent who have been re?
cently transplanted in largo numbers
from Virginia to the blessed soil of
Massachusetts, are not giving satis?
faction. The Journal of Commerce.
sums up the expense on this subject
very briefly and unceremoniously,
thus: "A considerable number of
negroes from tho South are arriving
in Boston. Those employed as do?
mestics are spoken of as very lazy
ind stupid."

if she intends to preserve that histo?
rical felic, now that the plains of
Italy have slipped from her grasp?
Tho crowu, 774, was received by j
Charlemagne from Pope Adrian I.
In 1452, it was carried back to Home, j
where it did duty at the coronation I
of Frederick TV, and in 1830 Charles I
V placed it on his head at Bologna.
In May, 1805, another conquerer !

it is in the bauds of the Austrians,

A German journal recounts the
following episode of one of the late
battles: "A young soldier, in the
midst of the tumult of battle, thought
he saw on the grass a four-leaved
Shamrock growing. As such a plant
is rare and is considered good luck,
he stooped to take it. At? that very
instant, a cannon ball passed over his
head-so near that he must have beeu
killed if he had not been bending
down. The man so miraculously
saved has sent the plant to which he
owed his life to his betrothed at
Koenigsberg. "
MILDEW ON THE GRAPE.-The fol?
lowing remedy is said to be effica?
cious for mildew on the gr vpe :
"One pound flour sulphur, with
an equal quantity of quick-lime. Boil
ten minutes in a glazed earthen ves- j
sel, with five pints of water. The
lime makes the sulphur soluble in |
water, which it is not by itself. J
When the mixture has cooled and ;
settled, take one part, of the clear li- ?
quid to one hundred of water, and
syringe tho plant freely with it."
GENEROUS DONATION.-Mr. Henry j
B. Bottoms, npou whose place the
battle of Perry ville was fought, aud
where so many gallant Southern j
spirits yielded up their lives in the
cause of their country, has set apart
a portion of the battle-field as a
cemetery, and at his own expense has
put around it a substantial stone
fence, and laid off the ground hand?
somely in squares and walks, and
planted roses and evergreens within
the enclosure.
The New York Herald warns the
revolutionists that, ' 'should the Presi?

pro tempore, until a popular election
be held, the country will not quietly
submit to such an outrage.
