COLUMBIA. Tuesday Kerning, Sept. ll, 1866. Tne President. 4 There hnve heen intimations pub? lished in several of tho papers that the President, daring; lu? present tour, might extend his journeyings j through some of the Sc athern States. Tho City Coaacil of Nashville, we soe, hare invited bim to visit that city, and one correspondent iron} \Vashington mentions that bia proba? ble route back to-that city would be through this State, Noarth Carolina and Virginia. ., If such is the determination of the President, and his journey homeward is to be by the route indicated, it would be a matter of interest, and, perhaps, of importance, that he should visit Columbia. Our people would delight to do him honor, and as our unfortunate city has occupied a prominent position among the closing scenes of the late conflict, and us it has been the theme of pro? tracted discussions in the newspapers both North and South, and is so to this day, we would be glad, if possi? ble, that President Johnson could see for himself the extent of the ca? lamity that befel her on the memora? ble night of the 17th of February, 1865. He would see what some of the Southern people have suffered and lost, and wonld more highly ap? preciate the honor and sincerity of the people of this State in so promptly accepting the terms and conditions he offered as a means of restoration to their old place in the Federal Union. From present indications, this ex? tra session of the Legislature will continuo long enough to greet him, should he pass this way, on his return home; ?nd we would, thc-efore, re? spectfully suggest that this body take some action in the premises, and in? vite him to visit thia city, and extend to him the hospitalities of tho State. Our city authorities, we are sure, -would co-operate in making arrange? ments for that purpose. Such an in? vitation would be a merited compli? ment to our worthy Chief Magistrate, and even if he could not accept nt this time, it might induce him to visit us hereafter; at all events, it would be ? manifestation of our re? spect and esteem, and of gratitude for the patriotic and manly coarse he has pursued in his dealings with our arch-enemies-the radicals. A Renegade. Ex-Attorney-General Speed, a citi? zen of Louisville, Kentucky, was chosen President of the mongrel con? vention. It is stated that he was ap? pointed to the Cabinet, by Mr. Lin? coln, not for his qualifications, but because he was an old-fashioned Abo? litionist, and in the hope that such au f lenient in his Cabinet-taken from a slave-holding State-would gain strength to the policy which the radical pressure has driven him to adopt. 1 : ? ' ? ' As legal adviser to the Government, ho has shown himself incompetent, and his speech, on takirg the chair of the mongrel convention, proves that he wa? unfit toir the high position he quit, or was driven from, os a man or a gentleman. He speaks of the President, his late political chief, os the "tyrant at the White Honae;" and in such kindred remarks as be? fitted tho occasion and the conclave he addressed His malevolence, as exhibited in his speech, demonstrates that ho was nnworthy of an office, or to be associated with aigh-toned officials or gentlemen.

Wc uro ? gratefnl to obeervo *hat the Demo- ] crats and conservatives of .Cincinnati j act in convention en Tuesday last, and nominated G. A. Pendleton for Condren fa the First, and Tfconms Cook in the Second District. Mr. Pendleton ia well known as n Con? gressman, and Mr. Cook as President ol the Cincinnati Chamber of Com? merce. Mr. Pendleton, on receiving his nomination, addressed the convention in a strong conservative speech, from which -we extract: "That question is union or dis? union; peace, fraternity and strength, on the basis of the old Constitution ; or discord, division and weakness, until we sholl try the experiment of a new one; the ?estoration of the Go uernment on the practical Unionism of Andrew Johnson and the Philadel? phia Convention, which has my hear? ty and cordial support, or secession made effective by the disunion, ne I gro 8nffrage, centralizing j olicy of t^o radicals in Congress. I meau that Philadelphia Convention which met two weeks ago, in order that, by fraternal conference, it might unite the thirty-six States-not the Phila? delphia Convention which sits to-day, to perpetuate the disorganization of tl e States on the basis of a union of colors. "This great war could not pass away without results. It is not like the breeze which leaves no trace. We wore told thftt the doctrine of seces? sion and the institution of slavery were the only parents of discord in our Union j "The doctrine of secession was put upon the issue of battle. The deci? sion was against it, and tho Southern people, by the action of their State Conventions, and by the unanimous declaration of their delegates at Phil- j adelphia, have abandoned it as a rule of political action, and the basis of j political organization. *The institution of slavery was also ? involved in the conflict of ormu, a"d it, too, under the action of the South? ern States, has passed away forever. "These are the results of the war. They are universally recognized, and the question is, whether these results having been thus attained, the people will restore tho Union to its integrity, resume ono flag with thirty-six stars, and rebuild the shattered fabric of tho Government." To the people of the North-west, the question is thus presented in a nut-shell. It is to be hoped they will not recklessly throw away the fruits of victory, to follow tho wild? fire of radicalism. M i MS lo ii ? ry Oraton. The New York World notices that the Evening Post is still harping on its favorite theme of sending Repub? lican missionaries to the Southern States. We have already expressed onr views in relation to this matter, but the World takes a different view of the suggestion, and thinks tho movement one of the most desirable that could occur just now to tho country at largo, for the following reasons: First-It would immediately ami forever stifle the abominable false? hoods which tho radicals have been '-? > industriously circulating as to the dangers which Northern men incur in the South. Second-It would ope? tho eyes of thousands of well-inten? tioned >?.it ignorant Northern men, as to the 'rue character of the much vilified, peaceful and suffering people who are being constantly pictured to their frenzied imaginations, as blood? thirsty "rebels'* and "traitors," ready to plunge the country into another civil war. Third-It would be the best schooling iu the world for such radical incendiaries as Phillips, ' Stevena, Wade, Butler, and others, not only by showing them the deadly I fruits of just such attempts of de? stroying the Union, as they are now I advocating, but also on account of tho excellent lessons iu "loyalty," and support of the "Union, the Con? stitution, and law," which they would get from our late foes in every por? tion of the South, and which rebel? lious spirits like our radicals, are just now so seriously requiring. By all moans, let our Northern rebt ls have \ tl J benefit of a little Southern edu 1 cation. I Andrew Johnson said the other day, at a way station in New York, where he Avas enthusiastically greeted by a large crowd, that he was for saving the Constitution and the country, aud if anybody's party come in conflict with it, the party might go to tho devil or anywhere else. He did not stop to consider what party was to lie taken care of before tho country. He had always been on the Constitu? tion and the Union, he still stood there, and he was going to fight it out on that line. Tf anybody eau improve that ?peech, we /jhould like . to see it. We ha** no desire, not do we wish lo spare space for ranch cf the prc? feedings rf the motley assembly in < Session at Philadelphia, daring the past week. As might have been ex- j pected, there was no harmony among 1 the dark spirits convened. As the * Richmond Times saya, the most animated proceedings of the Conven? tion were literally punctuated with "yells," ''cat calls," "hisses," "shouts" and an unceasing under? current of cursing and swearing. We, therefore, do not wish to dirty our columns with an account of their proceedings. The resolutions adopt? ed entirely ignore the negro suffrage question, and thus Sambo finds himself still left out in the cold. The character and quality of the resolu? tions will appear from the following, which we select: Resolved, That the unhappy policy pursued by Andrew Johnson, Presi? dent of the United States, in its effects tipon the loyal people of tho South, is unjust, oppressive and in? tolerant; and accordingly, however ardently we desire to see our re? spective States once more represent? ed in thc Congress of the nation, we would deplore their restoration on the inadequate conditions prescribed by the President, as tending not to abate, but only to niagnfy, the perils and sorrows of our condition. Resolved, That the political power of the Covern ment of the United States in the administration of pub? lic affairs is, by its constitution, con? fided to the popular or law-making department of the Government. Resolved, That tho political status of tho States lately in rebellion to tho United States Government are political questions, aud are, there? fore, clearly within tho control of Congress, to tho exclusion of tho in? dependent action of any and every oth^r department of the Government. \ Resolved, That thero is no right, political, legal or constitutional, in any State to secede or withdraw from the Union; but they may, by wicked aud unauthorized revolution and force, sever the 1 elations which they have sustained to the Union; and when they do, and assume the atti? tude of public euemies at war with tho Unit a States, they subject them? selves to ? il the rules and principles of intern-.tional law and the laws of war applicable to l>elligerents, ac? cording to modern usage. Resolved, That the organizations in the unrepresented States assumiug to bo State Governments, not having been legally established, are not legitimate goveruments until recog? nized by Congress. Tho resolutions were adopted separately, aud a committee appoint? ed to lay them before Congress. A motion to make Fred. Douglass one of the committee was received with hisses, aud ruled out of order by the chair. Fred. Douglass, at a gathering, ofter tho adjournment of one of its ses? sions, thus gave his opinion of the convention: Frederick Douglas was called for and cams forward. He came hore a few days ago, he said, with nn mingled feelings of admiration. He was compelled to say now that he liked the men before him better as a public meeting than ns a convention. I Applause. 1 He wished the conven? tion, as a convention, were half as true to their convictions as tho men who compose it were when in a muss meeting. Ho ... appealed to the audience to adopt principles of jus? tice, liberty and humanity. The Richmond Times sums up its comments on the proceedings tus fol? lows: The resolutions remind us of the play of Hamlet with the character of Hamlet left out. Tho convention was opened by Tilton, white man, walking in arm and arm with Fred. Douglass. For several days thousands of perspiring, odoriferous, griuuiug and grateful negroes were bespatter? ed with praise and hailed as saviours of their country; but when Til ton's black companion asked for the right of suffrage, Tilton pleasantly kicked him ont of doors. I And poor Coffee is just now scratch? ing his thick skull and vainly essay? ing to find out what substantial bene? fits his mean white associates have conferred upon him, after all their hubbub and noise. COOLIE LABOR.-A Chinese Com? missioner, named A. II. Yue, is on his way to the Atlantic States from San Francisco. He is accompanied by an interpreter and by Mr. Robert Stritchlan, who has been many years in China. The object of A. H. Yue's visit to the East is to iutroduco Chi? nese laborers into the United Strttfcs, and with this view ho will travel through the Southern, Western and Eastern States, offering to furnish field hands. There was an accident to the Presi? dential party at Schenectady, New York, which uptripped the President, and came near being a serious affair to several bystanders. The cars were put in motion which moved the plunk on which the President stood. Wm.-The Southerner Z&JB: , sale-day, passed off wi?h & incidents. There was a e gathering, and some pro was sold. The rain of the 3ortT Crop, the probability of the cotton being stolen from the fields, and the session of the Legisla? ture were the topics of conversation found most interesting. Speaking of a penitentiary, the Southerner says: The establishment of a State peni? tentiary is being advocated ably and ?d?cious?y, We think, by some of the ?ding papers of the State. Oar cir? cumstances seem so evidently to call for an institution of this kind, that we suppose the proposal will meet with general favor. KERSHAW.-The Camden Journal has the following items: We have heard, within the post few days, much cot. plaint of the rust in cotton. It will doubtless shorten the crop in this and adjoining Dis? tricts. We aie informed that the Camden Bridge Company will commence re? building the bridge ere long. The period within which they are re? quired to complete it or forfeit tho charter is, we believe, moro thau two years from this date, but we trust it will be done in much less time. In an article on the branch railroad to Camden, the Journal says: At an evil hour for us, the Direct I ors of the South Carolina Railroad, in their wisdom, sacrificed our interests for tho benefit of other more import? ant sections of the road, which they believed we would have assented to if we could have known the difficul? ties they had to surmount in tho re? pairs of the road at that time. Admitting that such a necessity ex? isted in 1865, doea it justify the con? tinuation of the policy in throwing out fifteen miles of our road, stripped of its rails, as unimportant, leaving to the chance of profits on the road, to restore it as the nett prolits will enable them to raise $150,000 to buy the iron? Can wo suppose- that if fifteen miles of any other part of the South Carolina Railroad should, by any accident, be destroyed, that the company would wait a day longer for profits to reconstruct? Are ve not I the victims of the tardy, slow and I uncertain policy? j BAUKWELIJ.-The Sentinel says: ! The post office at Graham's Tarn ? Out, in this District, has been re \ established, and Mr. Caleb J. Bow I man appointed postmaster. Speaking of sale-day, the Sentinel ; says: Several tracts of land were disposed I of by the Commissioner in Equity and i the Sheriff. Quite a crowd was in at? tendance, and the bidding spirited, notwithstanding tho stringency in the money market. After thc sales were over, we wore visited with the heaviest fall of rain that we hnve had for months. Tn this section, the corn crop is slim-many will not niak^ a third or half crop; others, again, will make enough to do them, but none to spare. Cotton, we understand, is turning ont pretty well, and with good seasons for a few weeks, the pea and potato crops, we hope, will make np many deficiencies in other re? spects. Nothing of interest trans? pired worthy of note during tho day. Thc Political Fnlurc. We extract the following from an article in the New York Herald: Aud now where stand we? If the policy of Congress is to be endorsed by the people at the coming elections, then, indeed, we may abandon all hope of seeing thc States consolidated into a Republic, one and indivisible. Will the people endorse it? We hope not. We believe not. It may be that the Republican party will have a controlling majority in tho next Congress; but we think it will be a majority that will be no more over? powering. The people are deeply disappointed with the present con? dition of public affairs, and want to seo peace and harmony between ali sections re-established. The triupmh al procession of President Johnson is daily and hourly winning over to his sensible policy thousands who before were opposed to it. Let him continue and extend his tour and the effect will be beyond all estimate Not only will its effect be great on the approach? ing elections, but we should not be surprised to see it produce a convert j ing influence on the Republican members of thc present Congress, lt may not yet be too late for them to save their party. Let the conserv? ative Republicans, warned by the ??gus of tlie times, go to work, organize au opposition, take into it the conservative Democrats, undo thoroughly the destructive work of the lust session, get control of the fortieth Congress, and taking np Gen. Grant as their caudidate for the Presidency, they may yet bo able to savo their party, and at thc same time save the country. An enterprising Yankee visited the County of Fanquier, Vs., recently, and succeeded in engaging twelve or fourteen of Mosby's men to go North und ride tournaments. He is to foot all expenses, furnish them with fine horses, and pay them three dollars a day. He approached Mosbv himself with a proposition; offering him fifty dollars aday, and grad nally increasing tho offer to one hundred and twenty five, which was declined. R?LEA?W OS- MB? DAVIS,-More than alf-a-doz?n times, in one paper aud nofeer, ?d aoqjSaex, &e? the four rord? put together as u our caption. < Ve tremulously draw it up to the i eading distance, and ainsi it turns i iut to be that ?Ir. Somebody, the < eliable correspondent of such a niper, says that he heard Capt. A. ell Col. B. that he (Capt. A.) heard , hat President Johnson told Senator , 3., who told Gen. D., that he (Prosi- ; lent Johnson) intended to release ' WT. Davis. How sickening it is to he heart of one who feels as he ihould, for the prisoner, to read these ;ruelly lying words, that "Mr. Davis s soon to be released," when day fol? lows day, and week follows week, ?id the tantalizing falsehood is re? heated again and again, as if with ghoulish mockery. And, after all, it may be so, that Mr. Davis is soon to be released-released by Him who hath said: "If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked." President Johnson has already too long suffered Mr. Davis to linger in that noisome dungeon. He has par? doned men a thousand times wicked? er in every respect. If that dungeon door is not opened in ten days it need never be opened, so far as the fair fame of the President is con? cerned; for our honest belief is that a down-trodden people, thus vicari? ously incarcerated, after he, (the President,) at Philadelphia, smoked with them the calumet of peace, can | never forget or forgive him, however much they mav try. [Griffin (Ga.) He-raid. RESIGNATION OF HANNIBAL HAMLIN. "VIEWS" ON THE PR?SIDENT.-Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, Collector of the Port of Boston, tenders his resigna? tion in a letter to the President, dated August 28, in which he says: "I do not fail to observe the move? ments and efforts which have Iv ?n and are now being made to organize a party in the country, consisting, almost exclusively, of those engaged in the late rebellion, and their allies, who sought by other means to cripple and embarrass the Government. These classes of persons, with a small fraction of others, constitute the or? ganization. It proposes to defeat aud overthrow the Union Republican party, and to restore to power, with? out sufficient guarantees for tho fu? turo and protection to men who have been loyal, those who sought to de? stroy the Government. I gave all the influence I possessed to (-reate and uphold tho Union Republicau party during the war, without the aid of which our Government would have been destroyed and the rebellion a success. With such a party ns has been inaugurated, and for such pur? poses, I have uo spmpathy; nor can I acquiesce in its measures by my silence. I, therefore, tender to you my resignation of the office of Col j lector of Customs for the District of Boston and Charlestown, to take effect from the time when a successor j shall I,; appointed and qualified." A Haleigh (N. C. ) paper exposes the aims of the so-called "loyal Unionists" in that State, by stating that thev have but one principle, and perhaps but one aim, and that is to wrest tho offices of the country and the control of public affairs from the hands of the former secessionists and Southern war men, in order to enjoy them themselves. Beiug .* hopeless minority, they have no prospect ol affecting this, only by thc disfrau chisement of the masses of the people, and hence, for tho sake of promoting their own advantage, they are willing to embrace tho entire radical pro? gramme, at the risk of the utter over? throw of tho Government of oui fathers, to secure which, oceans ol blood may be shed. We regret to learn from the Talla? hassee Sentinel, that Bishop Rutledge ? is now very ill in that city, with bul I very little hope of recovery. His j disease is cancer in the mouth. CHATTANOOGA BRITKIE.-The Co? lumbus ?Sun says that this importanl j link in the railroad connection be? tween Alabama and Georgia, at thal I point, is now eoniolete. Miss Evans, of Mobile, author ol I "Beulah," and Mrs. Wurfield, ol i Kentucky, author of the "Household i of Bouverie," both have novels in j course of publication by Carleton. A Washington letter says that the Attorney-General has already engaged I competent phonographers to attend the Davis trial early in October, te j take notes for the Government, j A school for girls, to be called tho Stonewall College, is about to be established at Ripley, Mississippi. Cotton speculators at Columbia, Tenn., are offering to coutract for the coming cotton crop at twenty-five cents per pound. Clapp, recently re' ?vcd from the Buffalo post office, is making a noise about it. He wants to go to Congress aud get revenged. NATIONAL, Exi-?tESS.-We observe j iu the New Orleans papers that this j company is now in full operation i from the Potomac to New Orleans. John L. Francis, the colored King street barber, who, for over forty years, has conducted bnsme.o in Charleston, died on Sunday last. It is the current belief in Paris, that the Emperor Maximilian will abdicate the throne of Mexico. Dr. O. Holmes is said to he writing a story of American Ufe.

JEWISH NSW YEAR.-We notice that yes? terday and to-day are the fi mt and second days of "Tish ri, 5627," corresponding with tho tenth and tbe eleventh days off Sep? tember, 1866, which are the Jewish New Year holy days. On Wednesday, the tenth of Tinbri, or September ti e nineteenth, is the Day of Atonement, or "?oine Kippur." Our Jewish friends will close their places otb usinons on these days, and religiously perform the duties enjoined by the laws of their ancient faith. FAT MEN.-Our corpulent readers will not ot " t if we say a few words in their favor. "a said to be a fact that no fat man was ever convicted of murder. Stout people are not revengeful, nor, as a general mle, are they agitated by violent gusts of pas I sion. The fellow who work? with skeleton keys is generally a lean and wiry indivi I dual, as be can only force himself through holes scarcely large enough to admit a cat. Imagine a fat man doing these things, and then imagine him alarmed and running away, with a policoinau after him. Corpu? lency is not the aigu of villainy, but rather of good nature ami good will to all men. Music I* nra PARK.-By direction of Gen.

MEETINO OF SCUMERS.-Tho attention of all surviving members of Bonham's, Ker? shaw'*, (.'..nuera and Kennedy's late bri? gade of the Confederate army, from this State, is called to the notice in another co? lumn. Tho brigade that has passed through the leadership of the above gal? lant commanders was the oldest in the Army of Northern Virginia, and was the right brigade of tho right division of Gen. Lee's army, and participated .n all the bat? tles of the war-from tho first battle of Manassas uutil tho surrendur at Greens? boro, they having been transferred to Johnston's army. Wo hope the meeting of these veterans will be fully attended, and that the re? union will be pleasant and profitable. TUE COLUMBIA POST OKPICE.-It might be thought that the resolution of Mr. Hauckel, in the Legislature, tended to reflect on the management of the pout office litre, on account of tho ddlay jax thc delivery of tho maila. Tho facts are, that th? mails do not reach the office until abont 84 o'clock p. m., and cannot be open? ed and ail distributed and put up in the boxes til Op. ni. Those having key boxes . . obtain their letters and papers after that hour. We presume Mr. Hauckel'a resolution referred moro particularly to the late hour at which the Charleston train arrivtal, which is the cause of the in convenience to our citizens. As tu the maaageme- t of the post office, at this point, wa may say that Mr. Janney's deputies, Mr. Lea pb art and his assistants, are as courteous arid obliging officials as can be found anywhere, and oven after 9 p. m., while they reiv.aiu in the offies, putting up the Northern mails, we are sure they weald hand papers and letters to those whose business ur? gently required them to have them., NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. -Attention ls call? ed to tho following advertisements, which are published this morning for tbe first time: .- til ?j ttjslg IfMjfl II. ?i Pelt-Mules Stolen.
