I As the interests of our constituents are the same, it is I to be hoped there will be little conflict of opinion among ; us, and that frank speech and courteous manners will -diatiaguish our intercourse, so that he who has been "called to preside over our; deliberations will had but lit tle inconvenience from his lack of experience and will be enabled to use the position with which he has been honored, as he earnttly desires to do, for its legitimate object only. I Fellow Citizens : we are going heme, let painful reflec tions upon our late separation and pleasant memories of Our early Union quicken our footsteps towards the old Mansion, that we may grasp hard again the haad of friendship which stands at the door; and sheltered Dy the ld homestead which was built upon a rock and has leathered the storm, enjoy together the long bright fu ure which awaits us. With the guidance of Infinite Wis torn, and th care of merciful Providence which I ear estly invoke for the Convention and for each individual aernber, I invite you to the calm consideration and wise 3lution of the important questions whica are to result in ht peace, prosperity and happiness of ourselves and of asterity, and in the strength and grandeur of oar na ; . sn.

VI. FREE DM EN'S CONVENTiOJT. The eeewiwu ot this b dy yesterday was in some res pert 8 rery iuU resting At 9 ocltick: a. m., the Presid ot called the conven- tiou to ord r, a d fter prayer ty the cbapliia, a motion was mde for r-adiug the rales. Tbe Secretary then read the minutes of Saturday's proceedings, which were adopted. I he remainder of the morning was consumed in considering and disposing of various propositions and addresses In behalf of the education of freedmen, among which was one defending negro suffrage and equal rights before the law ; which was adopted and laid ou the table. Other important business was transacted, when the convention adjourned to o'clock. FTEBNOON SESSION. At the appointed hour, the Convention was called to order and opened with prayer by the chaplain. Various addresses were then made by members from different counties of tbe State, when James H. Harris, of this city, on motion, presented the follow ing address to the Constitutional Convention now in session : To the Constitutional Convention of North Carolina and Legislature to assemble thereafter : Assembled as delegates from different portions of the State of North Carolina and representing a largo body of the colored population, therefore, wo most respectfully and humbly beg leave to represent to you, and through you to the people oi the State, something of our situation and our wants as a peo ple. Earnestly disclaiming all wish to forestall your action or to dictate in the solemn and impor tant duties which have been intrusted to yon, at this most critical period, and confiding in your jus tice, wisdom and patriotism, to guard the interests of all classes, and more particularly of that class which, being more helpless-will most need your just and kind consideration; they but exercise the right guaranteed to the humblest citizen in this, their petition. It is with reverent and grateful acknowledgment of the Divine power .and interposition, that we ac cept the precious boon of freedom, resulting as it has from a prolonged and sanguinary struggle be tween two great powers, and finally decreed by the national will, we looked forward with confidence to see the decree ratified by the whole people of the State. Though it was impossible for us to remain indiffer ent spectators of. such a struggle, you will do us the justice to admit that we have remained throughout obedient and passive, acting such part only as has been assigned us, and calmly awaiting upon Provi dence. Our brethren have fought on the side of the Union, while we have been obliged to serve in the camp, to build fortifications and raise sub sistence for the confederate army. Do you blame us that we have, meantime, prayed for the freedom of our race Just emerging from bondage, under which our ra'e has groaned for two hundred and fifty year?, and suffering from its consequent degredation, we are fully conscious that we possess no power to control legislation in our behalf, and tbat we must depend wholly upon moral appeal to the hearts and conscien ces tf the people of our State. Born upon the same soil, and brought up in an intimacy of relationship unknown to any other state of society,' we have formed attachment for the white race which dust be as enduring as life, aud we can concei?e of no reason that our God-bestowed freedom should now sever the kindly ties which have so lung united us. Filled with gratitude to Qnd for His great blessing , we would bury in oblivion the wrongs ot tbe p isi, and wish to become mure united, as wall ae m re useful and honorable in our sphere of life. We are fully conscious that we cauuotlong expect th prt8enceof government ag-uts, or of tbe troops, to Becur us aguust evil treatmeut from u r-'as u abie prejudice, and m just mou,yet we have no dtsire to IvMjk k broad for pr tectiou aud sympathy. We know we must fi id, both at h m uJ among h pe pie of our owu State, and merit ih'.m by our h duBtry, sobriety aud respectful denieiuor, or t.uff r 1 -ng nnd griav ms evils. We. ac&u -wle Igo with gr ttuude that there are tUJ3s among former slave masters who have pr jtnptiy couce led our ircu dom, and have muiiested a j lot and bumaue dispo sition towards their former siav-s. Wa tbiuk no such persons, or very few at leas., hve lost tneir working bauds by 'desertion. At the same ticna it must bo knowu to you that many plauters nave either kept the freedman in doubt; have wholly denied his freedom, or have grudgingly conceded it, aud while doing so have expelled Uts family from the plantations wnich they may have cleared aud enricheJ by their toil through long and weary years. Some have withheld a just compensation, or have . warded snch pay as would not support the laoorer and his family. Others have driven their hands away with out any pay at ail, or even a share of the crops they have raised. Women with families of cundren, whose husbands have been sold, have died, or have wrongfully deserted them, have in some cases been driven away from the homes where, under slavery, they have spent a lifetime of hard service. Is it just or christian thus to thrust out upon the cold world helpless families to perish? These grosser forms of evil we believe will correct themselves under wise and humane legislation, but we do most respectfully urge that some suitable measures may be adopted to pre vent unscrupulous and avaricious employers from the practice of these and other similar acts of injustice towards our people. " Our first and engrossing concern in our new rela tion Is, how we may provide shelter aud an honora ble subsistence for ourselves and families. You will say work ; but without your just and considerate aid, how shall we 6ecure adequate compensation for our labor ? If the friendly relations which we so much desire shall prevail, must there not be mutual co-operation ? As our longer degradation cannot add to yomr comfort, make us more obedient as servants, or more useful as citizens, will you not aid us by wiso and just legislation to elevate ourselves ? We desire education for our children, that they may be made useful in all the relations of life. We most earnestly desire to have the disabilities under which we formerly labored removed, and to have all the oppressive laws which make unjust discrimina tions on account of race or color wiped from the statutes of the State. We Invoke your protection for tbe sanctity of our family relations. Is this asking too much ? We most respectfully and earnestly pray that some provision may be made for the care of the great number of orphan children and the help less and infirm, who, by tbe new order of affairs, will fce thrown upon the world without protection. Also ImVt RALEIGH, TUESDAY, OCT. that you will favor, by some timely and wise meas ures, the re-union of UqdiIips which have long beep broken up by war or by th operations f slavery. Though associated with many memories of suffer ing, as well as of onj .ymeut, we have always loved our homes, and dreaded, as h worst of evils, a for cible separation from them. Now that freedom and a new career ;tre before us, we love this land and oeople more than ever before. Here we have toiled and suffered ; our parents, wives and children are buried here ; and in this land we will remain unless forcibly driven awavl Finally, praying for suoh encouragement to our industry a the proper regulation of the hours of labor and tbe providing of tbe means of protection against rapacious and cruel employers, and for the collection of just claims, we commit our cause into your hands, Invoking hetven's choicest blessings upon your deliberations and epm the State.

After the reading, on motion it was received and afterwards adopted, with the understanding that it should also be referred to the first legislature oi the State. A committee of three wa3 then appointed to pre sent the address to the first body, consisting of Harris, Galloway nd Good. A re8olation to print 350 copies of the Address was adopted, in conjunction with another to supply each delegate with two copies of tbe same. The next business censidored was the 16th re commendation of the business committee, that col ored teachers and preachers be employed where they could be had of competent cultivation. This proposition elicited a long debate, in which ten or twelve members participated pre and con. The discussion occupied the attention of the con vention from 3 until 5 o'cloek, when according to to rule an adjournment was had till Tnesday Morn ing. - Tns Letters Between Wibz and Wife. It will be recollected that, in the issue of the Wash ington Chronicle of the 27tb, the proceedings of the Wirz trial, Judge Advocate Colonel W. P. Chlpman charged Mr. Scnade, one of the counsel for the ac cused, with having passed letters between Wirz and Mrs. Wir:, and with having givun money to the prisoner. Mr. Schade immediately acknowledged the charge, and stated that he did it with no evil purpose, but to relieve the wants ol the accused. The Court deliberated on tbe matter, which resulted by the President of the Court informing Mr. Schade that the members of the Commission fully appreciated the action, but Gen. Wallace cautionad him against doing so again, as it might be detrimental to the prisoner. Yesterday morning, Mr. Schade received the fol lowing letter from Mrs. Wire : Washington, D. C, September 28, 1865. j Mr. Schade Enclosed you will find ten dollar?, in payment of the ten you so generously bestowed on my husband, Ciptain Wirz.

SoMMHixe roa Iblk Hands to Do -We are glad to observe that vagrancj and idleness are in no measure to be encouraged among the negroes by the Government. In this citv, Capt. Purinton, the excellent Provost Mar shal, is picking up nil freedmen who have no vieible means of support, and who are caught lounging about in idleness. All who a-e disposed to work can easily find employment, either in the city or on the farm ; and those who fail frem indisposition to obtain labor, are made to work for a living. They are put upon the streets, and forced to labor until iuch time as they express a dtsire to go voluntarily t work Th plan is an excellent one. and operates finely. Already this class of cur population has been materially reduced, and some seventy or more negroes are under the weather. It is gratifying to hear that the same poliey will be pursued throughout thia district. Wkile Gen. Ruger and Col. Whittlesey will see that the freedmen have their rights, they are resolved they shall perform all the duties which attach to liberty. We regard it as most fortunate for society and the future interests ot colered men that vagrancy, whieh is trie forerunner of evsry grade of crime, is not to be tolerated. Even these who are de posed to commit it will ultimately thank their stars that the ruinous habits ef idleness and dependence will not be permitted to grow on them until reform was next to impossible. Childrkn's Dkessbs. Dame Fashion has given more than her usual attention to the clothing of chi.dren this season. The prettiest dresses we have yet seen for little girls are gored, cut square In the neck, and worn with a chemisette, very like their mammas. A very popular style, however, consists of a skirt attached to a low bod or pointed belt, and worn with a little loose, round jacke . Another style, the latest, is called the Sheperdess"' costume, and is very original It consists of a petticoat and high Garibaldi body of red mer'no or lama wool, trimmed with rows of narrow black velvet; over this is worn a skirt and pointed bodice of silk or poplin, in gray or dark blue, the skirt looped up at the sides with black pet dant buttons or rosettes, so as to fully disclose the merino underdres3. A small round cloak, with a hood, is worn with this costume! Knickerbocker suits are still tbe favorite style for little boys until they arrive at the dignity of jackets, which are now cut as large and loose as a short sack. Sack overcoats, with capes, are the proper winter over garments. Neat fitting boots, cat htgh, are indispensable for boys and girls, but per sons of taste will ignore the popular red tassels. If tas sels are used as a finish at all, they should be very small and black. A Niw Papir. The first number of the Journal of Freedom has been laid our table. It is published weeklj in this city by Messrs. Brooks & Crane, and devoted to the interests of the Freedmen. We are opposed to the principles it is designed to promulgate, but Mr. Brooks, the editor, writes with ability and a good degree of moderation, while Mr. Crane is a first-rate printer and business manager. The Journal contains twenty-four columns of reading matter, and doubtless will be hand somely sustained by the people whose interests it advo cates. Subscription $4 per ammum ; advertising terms liberal. Imfobtant to Ministers. Miuisters of the gospel are re quired by law to affix a five cent revenue stamn to each certificate of marriage they may return to the clerk s ffice. This is necessary beforj it can be admitted to record. We would also state in this connection, that a failure to affix tbe proper ftamps, to uny instiument of writing requiring the same, subjects the party executing such instrument to a penalty of $200. We would sug gest, aB far as htt stamp on the marriage certificate is concerned, ttat the partv to be married should invaria bly furnish it- De does not deserve a wife, unless he gives the stamp. Horace not in 1 own. A report was very generally circulated on the streets, late yeste day evening, that the "white hat" philosopher of tbe New York Tribune, bad arrived in the city bj the G ston train. There was a running to und fro of white and blncX at the different hottls, but no one found him. Fr their relief, we ma say that Mr. G. is not ani will not be in th city. Address to the FaBtDits. We understand thatCol. Whittlesey, Cbirf of tbe Freedmen's Bureau, in this city, made an address to the delegates to the convention ;ast evening. A jjeutlemen who heard tbs Colonel ssys that the counsel given the freei'men was of a character entirely conservative. He did not disguise tbeirdifficul ties nor conceal their dangers, but as a true friend ex plained their duties and tbeir rights. The address was throughout such an one as might have been expected from the antecedents of the speaker. The truth is, the address of the committee which we publish this morning embodies the general spirit of the speech. We are pleased to see the respectful tone with which they approach the State Convention and kindly wishes expressed for their former masters. They can do more by such intelligent action than in any other way. . -- ; Thanks The Southern Express Company have our thanks for late papers. They always beat the mails and Postmaster General Dennis.jn must loek to his honors. . The Yabbokough Saloon the engineer of which estab. lishmentis "eofli's, of high repute as a mixer of steeple sherry cobblers and other royal drinks has our thanks for the attention of yesterday. The wine was of superior age and flat or, and the conventioners will, doubtless, endorse this opinion before their labors are ended. Bocoht It. Jno. G. Williams & Co., bankers of this city, have purchased the fine building, on the corner of Fayetteville and Hargett streets, formerly the property of the State Bank of North Careiina. It will be occu pied by the purchasers for their financial business. Qceer Claiu. We saw a person in the city, yesterday, from Charlotte, addressing a crowd upon one of the street corners and insisting that he was a delegate from Mecklenburg upon the basis of two barrels of apple3, which be claimed was the property qualification.
