"WEDNESDAY, TJ&KVKji, .im. . Northern 8uttlei Cowrentfoa at Cuartotle. j - Jewteniiap.l v!'Thla" Contention has not liadthe im portance given to it by the Northern press, which it is enUUed to. Ve have seen one or two brief, noUcea rfven to it by pNorthern journals, wnue u suuuiu vxm. "minutelv- and ; conjprehen- aively 4;escttbedr.lmdieaniesUxi.co mended as the 4awri of more amicAble and prosperous relations between the two sections. This, lukewarm Con sideration of a most unlooked for and momentous event is doubtless owinjt to the suspicion created among our North ern friends, that the I convention re ceived its birth from expediency, and was the product of wire pulling and en gineering on the part of the Southern people. I3ut nothing could be further from the truth than this. Without any pipe laying or advertising on their pArt, yea, without the slightest notice on the part of its projectors, i was called into existence in the midst of one of the most intelligent and enterprising com munities in the State, and did its work frtokly; 6penly and with" dispatch. ; One remarkable feature of its deliber ations, was its entire freedom from' all political prejudice andp discrimination. The most ultra Republican, provided his observations arid, opinions of the .coun try are hdnest; could have participated in its counsels. IndeedV there was a complete i abstinence iyom all political discussion or reference Each delegate seemed to consider himself a represen tative of the material and educational ' interests of his particular section. No ' heartburnings, no complaints -of social or political proscription, no bills of in dictment against the : hospitality and amicable temper of the, population, and no indignant expressions of discontent with the climate or the soil, were in truded upon the assembly. The only subjects presented for discussion, were the gteat questions ofcotiomy, of im provement, of capital, lot labor and of immigration. Qne would haye thought, that' thesemen'jgathered from' distant States, ' themselves - voluntary exiles from their own early homes, and met to deliberate and devise means of relief in a strange community, would have had conflicting personal aims, views and interests. But no such thing was the fact Theycame together like a band of brothers, with a common ob ject, the most r perfect unity of char acter and feeling, the imost extraordi nary identity or convictions and con clusions, and -pressed-rforward in the work of their deliberations with more of .the harmony of a religious convoca :irtion than anything else, s We doubt if ' any such strictly orderly and meritori ous assembly, outside iof Religious and churchly influence has been held sin ce -.vine war.. . .--x ."Another striking characteristic of this convention, was the character: and v standing of the citizens engaged in it. It is very easy to tell a mob from a gathering of gentlemen. A tree is known by its fruits no less in secular than in spiritual affairs. One of the objections urged against many North ernfsettlers in the iSouth since the war, has been their disturbing and socialistic tendencies. It has been urged by the masters of the soil, that many of these hew comers were not representative - people, but tramps, vagrants and out laws in the land from whence they came. In some few instances this may have 1 been true, but in many others it was falsely and injuriously unjust But certainly no such elements of the Northern population iwere , engrafted upon this convention. Each member . of it carried to .its deliberations from nis vlopted home , a reputation for integrity,' tfor patriotism, for industry and enterprise, for a; well employed opulence, for intelligence, culture and personal influence which could not be gainsayed. The resolutions introduced and adopted in its couesriate action, are a perfect model for, fullness, minute ness; clearness and Completeness. In these and all other rest iects, they surpass tne most elaborately : platforms, .whether: bepared political LflAn) :L,niA local, which have co: from ambitious aspirants "and wire-! filers since the war, . Nothing is left out everything is pus in, ana tne worK is nmsned off witn an excellence which is very unusual, Now all this could not have been done, witnout a measure of intelligence and a particularity and accuracy of know ledge, which prove this convention fo have been a very superior body of men, If it had. not been, the value of the results achieved would liad been vastly inferior to what thev were. And then, it is worthy of our special nuttuuon. inac none oi tnese ixortnern settlers in their deCorous convention seemedvto :be hopeless of the country or its interests. They are, doubtless feel ing the hard times as well as those to a themanox born." But they are full of hope, courage and resolution. Thewav they; tookt flp the 'advantages, facilities, resources and opportunities of this fer tile, sunny Southern land, and made them the- basis of an argument and appeal to both, the North and the South, stimulates one like a draught of old wine.' The ring of the true metal .was ty the brave words of the members of this: convention. ' Charlotte, whose citizens are always hrewd as well as hospitable, showed heir appreciation. Of them by1 a genial acknowledgment of ; their presence, and , purpose, and her cordial entertainment as them as hon ored visitors. Thus the Southern neo- plerwlthdut showing a vulgar spirit ,of trickery; bytftealthily' seeking for: such an endorsation and recommendation of -themselves and--their- countrv.-have exhibited their, good feensei'arid grati tude by decently receiving thehorior when "it came. And may this be only the beginning" of .future arid even stronger gatherings i of - intelligent xHortnern sewiers. uniting tneir ener- giesf 4il the same praiseworthy ririder- t&King. t , . .-.i , f A A .

What Befell a Drunken Turkey. From the Bangor (Me.) Whig, January 18. J A Glenburn farmer came into tne city recently, and among other things purchased some rice and a pint of whis key. Fearing that the bottle might get broKen on tne way nome ne piaceu it in the box containing the rice. When he reached home and took the box from the pung he found that the stop ple had got out ot tne ootue ana rice and whiskey had got thoroughly mixed. He dumped tne contents oi tne dox De- hind the barn, and m a short time a hu2re turkev came along, and, as he was not as particular as the farmer, gobbled up the medicated rice, bnortiy alter this the farmer was greatly surprised to find the turkey lying out behind the barn " dead as a door nan, and vowing vengeance upon the man who sold him whiskev rank enough to kill a turkey. he earned the bird into the house. The farmer was soon after 3een carrying the naked bird as every feather was gone with the exception of the wings and tan out Deninu tne staoie, wnere he left it on the snow. The next morn ing, when he entered the stable, it be ing hardly light, he detected what he thought was the ghost of that intem perate turkey, and could almost feel his hair rise ; but he made up his mind to investigate the matter and boldly ad vanced, imagine nis surprise, on get ting nearer, to discover the bird shiver ing on tne roost ana loomng at nim with reproachful eyes for having stolen his clothes while helplessly drunk. At last accounts the turkey was doing as well as could be expected during this zero weather. Mt-mph Baltimore Sun.J Memphis has been unchartered and abolished by the act of the Tennessee Legislature. Where, two days ago, there was a busv citv and a thrivinsr mart of commerce, may now be found no more than a howling wilderness of houses, intersected by some twenty odd miles of wooden pavements, mostly in a state of decay, and pretty generally unpaid for. But the city, the corporation of Memphis, no longer exists. It has been decorporated, and has no title- even to a name. It might as well be called Thebes or Tanais as Memphis. The Tennes-seean- Memphis did not have as long a life as that of the venerable? capital of old Egypt, which flourished for more than a thousand years. But then they had neither Nicholson wooden pave ments nor municipal bonds in those primeval times. The modern Memphis was laid out in 1820 and incorporated as a city in 1831. After surviving for forty-eight years it has been disincorpora ted, and again "laid out '. in 1879. Tne receiver for the late corporation, how ever, df he should be appointed, will still find some property belonging to it wnicn ne can seize upon, mere is a handsome - park and a Jackson statue in the, centra :of the;city.i There are buildings' ' erected for ' schools.
