' C?LTJMBT?. Friftay Mor^Ji^ SeptambOT 7,18?. A St?*? Convention. Au item in our paper, from ti** Sdgefteld Advertiser, says that the general sentiment of tho people in that section, as gathered from the citizens st the Court House on last sale-day.- is that the Legislature should call a Convention of the people of this State. At a public meeting held at Winns boro, the following resolution was passed: "Resolved, Whereas the Constitu? tion of the State of South Carolina distinctly affirms that the Legislature shall not pass a law impairing the ob? ligations of contracts, that we ear? nestly solicit the law-making power (the Legislature-) to call a Convention, to take into consideration tho anoma? lous condition of affairs not contem? plated by the framers of the Consti? tution." These and situ ila expressions ol publie sentiment at District meeting? previously held, all look to the pro posed Convention as a body having more power in relation to an inter ferenee between debtor and creditor, and they take for granted that, be cause Ibo Legislature, by the Consti tution of this State, is prohibiten from passing any law impairing th? obligation of contracts, a Conventioi of the people would possess tba power. This is an error, if Sou tl Carolina is considered a State of tb Union. The tenth section of th' first article of the Constitution of th United States declares expressly, tha . 'no State" shall . 'pass a law impairin the obligation of contracts." The Legislature is only a co-ord nate branch of the State Govert ment, while a Convention of the pot pie is, for the time being, su preme? ds in fact, the Stale itself-and tl: prohibition of the Constitution aboi quoted would apply very peculiar! to such a sovereign body as a Coi vention. It could not constitutio ally pass such a law; and if they di pass an ordinance, similar in its pr visions to tho stay law, the effe would simply be to throw claims any magnitude into tho Distri Courts of the United States, ai would there be disregarded, just as it were an Act of the Legislature. If the desire for a Convention wc simply to devise ways and means supply those of our citizens wi have suffered from the late war, she crops or any other misfortune, might not be amiss; but we belie with Governor Orr, that tho memlx of tho Legislature, fresh from eve District in tho State, are well qua tied to judge of the proper mode relief, and have ample authority make any appropriations for tl purpose; There is one thing certa that neither a Convention nor 1 Legislature has power to impair 1 obligation of contracts. Confederate Dead in Virginia. We make the following extn from a letter, dated Buckland P. < Prince William County, recoil at the Phoenix offate, from Col. Th A. Ball, who formerly resided in ( lumbia: "In visiting a village near here cently, I learned that some South? soldiers were buried in the gea yard, who died, I think, after t first Manassas fight, but as the he: boards had no dates, I could not t I determined to send yon a mer random of the names as far at could find, so that you could publ it, and refer the parties to me, if i thor information was desired: J.

SOUTH GAEOIISA CONFERENCE. --' Marion Crescent learns that tho Bis has changed the time of holding South Carolina Conference, at i place, from November 7 to Deoen 19. DeBow's Review, for Septem gives the following item: The mission of Gen. Beauref to Europe, in aid of the finance! the New Orleans and Great Nortl j.?uilroad, is understood to have 1 u success, and the result is, the y pect? of the corporation are mos! couraging. The proposal was ace ed to fund tho accrued interest second mortgage, and to bugin at early day the payment of int* upon the original bonds. The An can bond-holders will no doub once fall into the arrangement, RTP5H5S?TIETT^T"TT"-""""?T^1^^^^ Koste?- ?AWI UruWf' ~ Prior to the lat? war, inauy articles ?were written andr pnb?islHKi by the' newspapers of the South, pressing upon hm pooptothe duty ?f towering* and enooura^ing all enterprises start-; ed among them, in every d?partaient' of industry, especially in mechanics aud manufactures. These appeals were too much disregarded up to the commencement of the recent difficul? ties, and only when stern necessity and the deprivation of all out-side sources of supply compelled them to turn to their own capabilities and re? sources, that the Southern people set to work in earnest to manufacture for themselves. This they did with a will, and the result of four years' ex? perience demonstrated that, in almost every deportment, the articles of utility and prime necessity could be produced from oar own factories and work-shops. Now that the war is over, with all our ports thrown open, through which tho amplest supplies can be obtained; when material and ma? chinery aT6 procurable on equal terms with any oilier, even the most favored section of the country, and when me? chanics and art?zaos have, by a radi? cal change in our labor system, a new field of enterprise thrown open to them, is it not her highest duty to prevent a return to dependence upon those who steadily and invariably op? posed, and who still oppose, the ad? vancement of our interests, both ma? terial and political?' The encouragement of homo enter? prise has been sadly defectivo among ns in tho past, and, as the Raleigh Progress observes, Southern commu? nities have universally rejected this royal road to wealth. With match? less stupidity, they have maintained the practice of appreciating every? thing except native talents, or tho home enterprises established amongst them. This is all wrong. A com? munity of interests among any people is an unfailing source of strength; but no people can become truly inde? pendent who fail to develop the re? sources which are everywhere around them, or who fail to encourage and foster every effort, . no matter by j whom made, to develop them. The I Southern people must surely have j learned thia lesson in their past ex? perience, and wo trust that in the future they will profit by it, and act upon its teachings. I WITODKAWAL o? THE FRENCH 1 TROOPS FROM MEXICO.-While Mr. i Seward was in New York, as ono of the Presidential party, enjoying the great ovation the people extended them, somebody handeii^ur. S. thc cable despatch announcing that the Emperor Napoleon had extended the time for the withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico, till January next, and asked him what he thought of it. The Secretary replied by telling an anecdote, a la Lincoln, the point of which was that when a discomforted rat was doing his best to find a hole ! to crawl out of, it wonld be unwise not to indulge him a little. Romero, who was standing by, was happy to concur with the Secretary, only be thought tile animal in this case bad had already too much indulgence. THE BANQUET AT I)ELAIONICO'S. ' The dinner given at Delmonico's, in New York, in honor of the President, is said to have been the most elegant every yet given in that city. 250 persons sat down at thc table, and the cost was $25,000, just ono year's salary of the President, and $100 for each person that partook. Thc greater part of this expense was for wines, which woro rare and costly, there being eight different varieties, and each bottle costing from S10 to 820. $100 for a single meal is rather ex? travagant. SINGULAR LEGAL, OPINION.-A Memphis lawyer relates, if we may rely upon the statement of the Mem? phis Bulletin, that while in Carroll County last week, he had attended the preliminary trial of a man before a country magistrate, charged with stealing corn from a neighbor's crib. Thc evidence went to show that the defendant had been found with his hand in aa aperture in the crib, safely fastened in a steel trap, which the owner of tho crib had set for the pur? pose of catching the thief who had been preying upon his grain. It was also in evidence that two empty corn sacks were found lying at the feet of the entrapped individual. The deci? sion of the magistrate was that there was no proof that the prisoner had stolen any corn, and as to being caught in a steel trap, any gentleman had a perfect right to stick his hand in one, if he felt inclined to do so. The remarks of Secretary Seward, at Auburn, while introducing Senor Romero, that Maximilian had notice to quit by the 1st of November, is considered significant of movements in regard to Mexico, which will de? velop themselves by the time re? ferred Ut. -""W.tk*y Waa? BHAW. - -1 Wo make extract* from a letter written by ?ev. Henry' Ward Beeen cv, in reply% to an invitation ' to be present at thc Soldiers* Convention, to fee held afc Cleveland, on the 17th inst. The letter has attracted gene? ral attention at the North, and viii, unquestionably, exercise a tremen? dous influence in the ranks of the Republican party: GENTLEMEN: I am obliged to y OTT ? for the invitation which you have { made to me to act as chaplain to the convention of sailors and. soldiers about to convene at Cleveland. ' I cannot attend it, but I heartily wish it and all other conventions, of what party soever, success, whose object is the restoration of all the States late in rebellion to their Federal re? lations. Our theory of Government has no place for a State except in tho Union. It is justly taken for granted that the duties and responsibilities of a State in Federal relations tend to its politi? cal health, and to that of the whole nation. Even territories are hastily brought in, often before the pre? scribed conditions are fulfilled, as if it were dangerous to leave a commu? nity outside of the great body politic. Had the loyal Senators and Repre? sentatives of Tennessee been admit? ted at once on the assembling of Con? gress, and, in moderate succession, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia, the public mind of the South would have been fur more healthy than it is, and those States which lingered on probation to tho last would have been under a moro salutary influence to good con? duct than if a dozen armies watched over them. Every month that .we delay this healthful step complicates the case. * * * * * The Federal Government is unfit to exercise minor police and local go? vernment, and will-inevitably blunder when it attempts it. To keep a half score of States under Federal autho? rity, but without national ties and re? sponsibilities; to oblige tho central authority to govern half the territory of the Union hy Federal civil officers and by the army, is a policy not only uncongenial to our ideas and princi? ples, but pre-eminently dangerous tu the spirit of our Government. It is said that if admitted to Con? gress, the Southern Senators and Representatives will coalesce with Northern Democrats and rule the country. Is this nation, then, to re? main dismembered to serve tho ends of parties? Have wc learned no wis? dom by the history of the last ten years, in which just this course ol sacrificing the nation to the exigen? cies of parties, plunged us into rebel? lion and war? I hour with wonder and shame ami scorn the fear of a few that the South, once more in adjustment with thc Federal Government, will rule thi? nation. The North is rich-never .se rich; tho Sooth is poor- -never before so poor. Tiie population of th< North is nearly"'double that of thc South. The industry of the North in diversity, in forwardness and pro ductiveness, in all tho machinery enc education required for manufactur ing, is half a century in advance o the South. Churches in the Norti crown every hill, and schools swam in every neighborhood; while thc South hus but scattered lights, a long distances, like light-house.' twinkling along the edge of a conti neut of darkness. In the presence o; snell ii contrast, how mean and eniver is the fear that tho South will ruh the policy of the land! That it wil have an influence, that it will contri bute?, in time, most important in Alienees or restraints, we are glad t< believe. But if it rises at once to thc control of tho Government, it will bc because the North, demoralized In prosperity, and besotted by grovel ling interests, refuses to discharge it' share <>f political duty. In such r ease, the South will not only con tro the Government , but it ought todo it lt is feared, with inure reason, tba the restoration of the South to hei full independence, will be detrimenta to the freedmen. The sooner wc dismiss from our minds the idea that the freedmen can bo classified au? separated fromMthe white popula tion, and nursed and defended In themselves, the better it will for then and us. The negro is part and parc? of Southern society. He cannot Ix prosperous while it is nnprospcrcd Its evils will rebound upon him. lt happiness and re-invigoration canno be kept from his participation. Tin restoration of tho South to amicnbli relations with tho North, the re-or gonization of its industry, the re-in spiration of its enterprise and thrift will all redound to the freedmen' benefit. Nothing is so dangerous t< the freedmen as au unsettled state o society in tho South. On him corni: all the spite, and anger, rind caprice and revenge. He will be mude tin scape-goat of lawless and hearties men. Unless we turn the Govern ment into a vast military machine there cannot be armies enough t< protect tho freedmen while Souther] society remains insurrectionary. I Southern society is calmed, settlec and unoccupied, and soothed, wit] new hopes ami prosperous industries no armies will bo needed. Riots wi] subside, lawless hangers-on will b driven off or better governed, and : way will be gradually opened np t< tlie freedmen, through education nm ; industry, to full citizenship, with al 1 its honors and duties. Refusing to admit loyal Senators and Represen tali vee from the South to Congress will sot help the freed- . 'HMO. Once united, we can, by schools, cherches, a iree press and increasing free speech, attack each evil and se? cure every good. Meanwhile, the great chasm wbich rebellion made is not filled up. It grows deeper and stretches wider. Out of it rise dread sceptres and threatening sounds. Let that gulf be closed, and bury in it slavery, sec? tional animosity and all strifes and hatreds. It is fit that thc brave men who, on sea and land, faced death to save tbe nation, should now, by their voice and vote, consummate what their swords rendered possible. For the sake of the freedmen, for the sake of the South and its millions of our fellow-countrymen, for our own sake, and for the great cause of freedom and civilization,-! urge the immediate re-union of all the parts which rebellion and war have shat? tered. I am truly yours, HENRY WARD BEECHER. State Items. EDGETIELD.-We extract thc fol? lowing from tho Advertiser: A bold and fierce outrage was per? petrated in tho Beech Island vicinity one night last week. While Mr. John Glover, an unmarried man, liv I ing alone, was asleep, two or three shots were fired through the walls of his house; one cf them wounding bim in the band. Immediately after this, ruffians-perhaps black and white entered tue house, dragged Mr. G. into the piazza, beat him until they thought they had killed bim, robbed his body (or may be his bouse) of ?300 in gold, $20 in greenbacks, notes j and papers worth many thousands, and his watch. Tho robbers then fled. Since this, two negro fellows have been lodged in our jail, sup? posed to be of the ruffianly party. Speaking of sale-day, the Advertiser says: Sheriff Spires sold throe or four ! small parcels of land, and Commis? sioner Carwile three or four large ones. Among the latter, was the ex? tensive aud valuable landed estate of the late Mrs. Chloe Watson, of tho Ridge. It brought something very j near $12,000, and was bought by ; her grand-son. Capt. Robert Watson. The town house and lot of the late Edmund Penn. Esq., was bought by I Mrs. S. Y. Golding for 81,350. A ! good looking bay horse was ottered j for sale at public out-cry, but not I withstanding a vast quantity of out? cry, no shadow of a bid could be got for him. Who wants to buy horses to lio down and die of starvationV What else? When crops were ' mentioned, gloom overspread every . countenance. From what we could j gather, thc rust, in the ease of cotton, j is about to complete the ruin com : menccd by the drought. We found j people still harping upon the debt question-as well they may. Every? man queried his neighbor to know what he thought the Legislature would do. Public opinion is over? whelmingly in favor of a convention of the people. NKWRERRY.-The Meraki announces the return home of two citizens Messrs. Mathis and Harris-who were j a short time ugo taken to Charleston by military orders. CHESTER.-The Standard says that the Company, L, 5th United State:} Cavalry, who have been the garrison there, have received marching orders for Charleston, and that Cpl. Bliss, Commandant of the Post, luis been assigned to duty elsewhere. The Standard notices the following rob? beries: On Saturday last, the dwelling house of Mr. John Kearney, on Fishing Creek, was entered during the absence of the occupants, and completely gutted, everything of a ! 4 jrtable character being removed. I Sherman's "bummers" could not . have cleaned the building moro i effectually. The same night, a valuable horse j was stolen from tho stable of Dr. : Hieklin, and a mule from Mr. Sturges. I We are happy to learn that the horse '< thioves have been arrested in Shelby, j N. C., and are on their way to this j place. PLAY INO rou v MAN'S HEAD. I During "The Terror" few came to play at the Cafe de la R?gence. Peo ; pie had not the heart, and it was not pleasant to see through the panes tho I cars bearing the condemned through ! the Rue St. Honore to execution. Robespierre often took a seat, but few had any wish to play with him, such terror did the insignificant little man strike into every one's heart. One day avery handsome young mau sat opposite him, and made a move as signal for a game ; Robespierre responded, and thc stranger won. A second game was played and won, and then Robespierre asked what, was thc stake ? "The head of n youngman," was the answer, "who would be executed to-morrow. Here is the order for his release wanting only your signature ; and be quick I the executioner will give no delay." lt was the young Count 15. that was thus saved. The paper was signed, and then the great man asked, "lint who are you, citizen V" "Say citizen ess, Monsieur; I am the Count's be j trothed.

No one ought to be afraid of eating Dutch cheese after reading this: "Dutch beds, stables, barn-yards, in fact, everything that I have seen in Dutchland, is clean and fresh. In cow houses, tiie animals' tails are tied up to a hook in the ceiling, that they may not get soiled by contact with the lloor, and when they go out to pastille in the spring, they have a cloth tied around them, as little boys have bibs, to keep them nice and clean. Dugs and spiders stand no possible chance of existence in Hol? land. Every week the wi i ole energy of the inhabitants is devoted to scrub? bing and cleaning, and, indeed, the city retains si damp appearance all the week from the effects of the terri? ble drenching which it gels un Sa? turday."
