A special dispatch, to the Washington Chron icle from Montgomery, Ala., dated Sept. 25th, says the statement that the convention decided by a vote of fifty-eight to thirty-four against repudiating the State debt, has just1 been received there, with, comments of New York papers thereon . - No such vote was taken concerning the subject of State debt It was referred to a committee, who will report in a aay or wo, wnen me;suDject, lor the first time, will come before the Convention, and I hope forfa vorable action. The ordinance lor the abolition of slavery was adopted only three opposing votes and the ordinance of secession was declared null and void. Everything is going on very satisfactor ily for the cause of the Uaion. A Republican paper in Ohio states that Sena tor John Sherman, in his speech at Marietta, de clared he would have said more about negro suf frage had not the State Central Committee (Rep.) at Columbus instructed him not to discuss the subject. It is stated that 12 dw in Booth is about to mar ry an interesting young; Massachusetts lady of per sonal charms and pecuniary consequence, who wrote him a tender and sympathizing letter at the time when lie was terribly depressed by the crime of his brother, the correspondence thus begun hav ing ripened into love and all that sort of thing.

William Barber, of Chemung county, a snake exhibitor at the New York S 'ate Fair, was badly bit ten by a rattlesnake last Thursday. He cured him self of the poison by drinking four quarts of whisky ioles3 than as many hours. The same snake had previously bitten two mother persons, one of whom died In three hours, anct the other was saved by the whisky treatment. Professor Lleber has written a letter to Mr. Sew ard, suggesting that our difficulties with England be referred for arbitration, not to a monarch, but to a board of learned jurists, as the law faculty of some European university, Heidelberg, Leyden or Berlin. General Terry, commander of the Department of Virginia, has just given the people of that State a very forcible reminder that martial law still prevails there by the issuance of two orders making provision or loval proprietors to recover their property confis cated by the rebel government and by putting a stop to all legal proceedings instituted agalost national officers for acts done in the performance of their offi cial duties. Hereafter1, while martial law continues to prevail, the General announces, any person con cected with the institution of suits of this character wiU be arrested. A meeting of the Board. of Regents of the Vir ginia Military Institute, at Lexington, was held on Thursday last, when ex General Custls Lee, son of Robert E. Lea, and formerly a member of Jeff Davis staff, was elected to the proffissorshlp of Applied Me chanics and Military and Civil Engineering, and Maj.

President Johnson ou last Saturday, on which occasion speeches were made by both of the distinguished individuals.

Colored Convention. This body, according to previous notice, will assemble in this city to day, the 21th. Whatever their object may be, it would be well for them to be cautious, to avoid extremes, in every particular, not to dictate to the approaching State Convention, or make any un necessary insinuations as to their future pesition, political or social. "Watch and wait," with them, would be their true policy ; for while they are free free from slavery ; they are not yet Jree from the control of the laws and regulations of the Freed men's Bureau they are still Subject to the will of the militaryy and they are still subject to the Leg islation of the General Assembly of North Caroli na, and it will rest entirely with that body to say what rights they shall exercise as freedmen. This is a right guaranteed to every sovereign State, and all laws enacted by such State, not In conflict with the constitution and laws of the United States will bo enforced enforced by the powers, combined of the Union, if needs be. This fact, it would be well to remember. But, while our posi tion is known on the question of niversal suf frage, we believe that our legislators will be char itably disposed towards the newly made freed men, and such lawa will be made as to ameliorate their present and future condition. To this end, then, let every intelligent man, bend his efforts; a wholesome code, tempered tolerably with charity. For surely, if we are to live together, it would be far better to live as friends intelligent, law-abiding and in due time, by energy, industry and honest dealing, the colored man will be prepared to ex ercise, intelligently, the various functions of a cit izen. In all kindness, we have thrown out these hints; perhaps it would be best if they are so re ceived. Fashions. Aa the ladies are always curious in regard to the very latest verdict of the monarchs of style, we givs a synopsis of the fashions, gather ed partly from late exchanges and partly from ob servation : Veils. Veils have become very conspicuous items of a full toilette. They are worn long of Tulle, dotted with gold, or steel. Nets are still in vogue. They are very elabor ate, so trimmed with gold and silver bead as to constitute a very handsome head-dress. Pretty coquettish head-dressos of lace and rib bon are now universally worn in the morninc by married ladies, under the names of breakfast caps. X I1C Uluoy oij - x- ' pure, or Cluny lace, and blue, pink, or rose-color ed ribbon. They are exceedingly becoming, and in his sort of lace, though costly at first, very econ omical in the end, as it can be washed and worn to the end of time, and like black guipure, always looks " real," and is always fashionable. Dresses. Heavy materials and rich cream colors are the rage. Dresses en suite, that is, dress, underskirt and basque of the same material, are fashionable. Pointed waists are still worn, with one or more points at back, front or sides. The roundwaist begins to be seen again, and the ever popular " Bo'ero," and other jacket shapes, hold their sway. Long coat tails, and the deep square basques, are still prevalent, much to our disgust. The sleeves are tight, scarcely admitting of a close un dersleeve ; skirts as ample as ever in breadth, and increased in length. Profuse trimming is the rule Fluting is generally confined to the underskirt. Designs embroidered in silk, or braid, and mingled with cold, or steel braids and cord, are the favor ite trimmings, and on heavy material are stylish. Cloaks. The Paletot, cut partially to fit, seems to have taken a new lease of life. It will be the favorite garment for fall wear. They are made of heavy silk, or thread, or of cloth. They are cut halffittir g, forming a fullness of plaits behind, which add much to the grace of their appearance. Novelties in laces, handkerchiefs, tarletons and balmorals have been introduced, which the ladies will find at the furnishing establishments in the city. Mil I Meeting cf Town Commissioners. Raleigh, Sept. 27, 1866. At a regular meeting of the Board nf Commissioners, held this evening : Present : Dr. W. H. McKee, Mayor pro tern.; Messrs. C. B. Root, C. M. Farris, J. J. Overby, f. nrhv. H Poole and A. Creech, Commissioners. On mntlon of Mr. J. J. Overby, a committee was armohited to wait on the Governor and ascertain if they can get permission to bury persons of color ou the State grounds adjacent to the State quarry. The Mayor appointed on the committee Messrs. J J. Overby and C. M. Farrlss. . . A 1 On motion nf Mr. Boot, ordered, tna ice aoovo committee ascertain from the Governor if the Board has the right to tax retailers of spirituous liquors. Oa motion of Mr; Farriss, ordered that the city constable be directed to call on all retailers of liquors and hucksters and ascertain their name and places of bulnes?, and report to the Board at the next meeting. Mrk Creech, chairman of committee to settle the afiaira of tktt Gity Treasurer, made the following reF' ' Radios, N. C., Sept. 27, 1855. We : c- committee appoint to examine the accuuut i City Treasurer, respectfully begleavo to make the following report : The Citv Treasurer has been notified time after time andfhaV we waited upon blm in person, nrgtog tothenecofBktof a report showtog 29, 1865 NO. 271. the condition of the Treasury, but he has failed to make any repon whatever, and Is now absent from the city. Respectfully, A. Ceeech, ) r, report was received and committee dis charged. On motion of J. J. Overby, the City Treasurer was displaced. And on motion, Mr. C. M. Farriss was appointed Treasurer to fill the vacancy. Mr. Farriss moved that the auctioneers of the city be forbidden to hold their auctions on the sidewalks, or on the public streets. Before the vote was taken, Mr. Creech moved to lay the motion on the table, which wm carried. On motion, the price of the grave lota in future shall be eix cents per square foot for citizens and twenty-five fients per foot for non-residents. On motion, Board adjourned. J. J. CHRISTOPHERS, Clerk. Encourage Them. Nothing in the enterprises of a city reflects so accurately the character of the inhabitants as their church accommodations. We always hail their extension as good omens, and we therefore wish abundant success to the teachers of Christ Church Sunday School. They have a fine scholarship, but in order to reach a fuller success require a room for their use. We feel well as sured that our citizens as well as the army will aid them liberally, and that people at a distance would not hesitate to extend helping hands if they are properly informed in the premises. Besides, the fair proposed to be held will undoubtedly nrodno large revenue. The Comet Coming. The comet of Bella is near- ing its perihelion, and will soon be visible in the heavens. It has rather a long journey to perform, being at present about one hundred and ten mil lions of miles distant. On the 1st of November next it will be close to the bright Alpha Pegasi Markab, one of the four bright stars forming the well-known square of Pe. gasus. It then pnrsues a Southerly course, cross ing the celestial equator about the middle of De cember. It then crosses its old path in 1846, near where it separated into two comets. At the end of February, its distance from the earth will be less than twenty millions of miles. This comet's pe riod is about six and three-quarters year. Sparring Inhibition, 4c We are informed that a party of professional sparers are stopping in this place, opposite the Farmer's Rest, with Capt. Gallion, who propose giving an exhibition on Sator- ifcXJffig'tofcflflfc believe they Intend Inter grammes will make known particulars In time te af ford the curious full knowledge of the evening s bill of fare.
