W JSSTJSRISJ: JPEM6OJRA.T, C HAELOTTJE, 6, tsUtn tmoctat W.J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CIIARLtoTTE, 1. C, August 28, 1SGG. fesf" We publish in full . the Resolutions and Address adopted by the late Philadelphia Con vention, Having private business that required our attention at Philadelphia and New York, we attended all the sessions of the Convention except the first day. "The honorable gentleman for whom we had been appointed Alternate, being present, of course we did not act as a delegate, and there fore we were present only . as a spectator. The matter for this issue of our paper was prepared before our return, and we have only room to hastily refer to the action of fhc Convention. ' While theremay. be some declarations in the Address and Resolutions that Southern men who sympathized with the late Confederate Govern-' Hient, cannot heartily endorse, yet it should be remembered that the main olject of the Conven tion was to organize a party and inaugurate a plan for overthrowing the radical faction that not only seeks to keep the Union divided, but aims to degrade and ruin the Southern people. In form ing an opinion of the action of the Convention some allowance must be maito for the peculiar condition of the country and the extraordinary circumstances of the times. The Convention was the largest representative body that has ever assembled in this country, and among the delegates were tobe found many of the best and ablest men of America men who have no other object in view but the happiness, peace and prosperity of the whole country. The Northern delegates were kind and curfpous, and showed an unmistakable disposition to do all that was possible for the South in lier'precent perilous condition, and restore her people to their full rights in tho Union. They expressly .declared that they did not desire to use any language in the resolutions or address that would insult or .offend a conquored people, but they asked the Southern delegates to remember that tho battle for right and constitutional liberty had to be fought in the Northern States by Northern men, and if the Southern people expected success to crown their efforts they must permit a platform to be erected on which they could rally the great mass of the Northern people. The South was represented by many of her best jnen, whose only object was to assist in re lieving their people from the juin which threatens them. With some of the Southern delegates we have heretofore differed in opinion and sentiment, but we are satisfied that they have at heart the good of our people, and earnestly desire that they shall be restored to" peace and prosperity, and saved from further loss and trouble." The delegates from North Carolina discharged their duties with an eye only to benefit the peo ple. No one can believe or say that such men as Geo. Davis, Thos. S. Ashe, Geo. Howard, Joseph II. Wilson. M. E. Manly, S. F. Patterson, R. C. Puryear. and others, were influenced by mean, sinister or selfish- motives. They saw that the South and the whole country was iu imminent peril, and that something must be concedt-d in framing the Resolutions and Address to enable our Northern friends to gain r. victory in tho ensuing elections in the Northern and Western States. Southern people may find fault with tho action tf tho Convention (and we confess there are some expressions in tho resolutions and address that we do not like,) but they should remember that if the movement inaugurated at Philadelphia is not successful and the President's policy is de feated, and the Radicals succeed in again having two-thirds of both Houses of Congress, terrible will be the fate of the States that composed the late Confederate Government. The question now is. shall we sustain and assist our ' Northern friends and President Johnson, or shall we de nounce them and repudiate their efforts to assist us,. and thus strengthen the hands of our enemies. From all that we saw and heard at the North we are convinced that the' South has in that sec tion many honest, noble, true-hearted, self-sacrificing friends, as well as many bitter, unmerciful and unprincipled enemies. Let us, therefore, so act as to aid our friends and defeat our enemies. I iT It is not true that tho Philadelphia Conr vention repudiated Mr Vallaudigham and Fernan do Wood. If they had not voluntarily declined to take their seats they would have been sus tained by an overwhelming majority of the Con vention. m m t In the Northern and Western States crops of all kinds are represented as being extraordina ry good rain has fallen in abundance and the prospect there is encouraging. It is hoped that those States will be able to supply destitute por tions of the South with an abundance of grain at nioderate prices.. Important Circular.

The President has issued a Proclama tion declaring that the insurrection, which here tofore existed in the" State of JTexas is at an end, and is henceforth to be so regarded in that State. The P resident further proclaims that peace, order and tranquility and civil authority now exists in and throughout the whole of the United States. The .following is the essential portion of the Proclamation : And. whereas, subsequently ;to the said second day of April, one thousand eight hundred and sixiy-six. tne insurrection in the State of Texas I has been completely and everywhere suDnrfrssed j and ended, and the authority of the United States has been successfully and completely established in the said State of Texas, and now remains therein unrestricted and undisputed, and such of the proper United States officers as have been duly commissioned within the limits of the said State are now in the undisturbed exercise of their official functions; Aud whereas, tho laws can now be sustained and enforced in the said State of Texas by the proper civil authority. State on Federal, and the people of the said State of Texas, like th. people of other States before named, are well and loyally disposed, and have conformed or will conform in their legislation to the condition of affairs grow ing out of the amendment of the Constitution of the United "States prohibiting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States; And whereas, all reasons and conclusions set forth in regard.to the several 'States therein spe-' cially named now apply equally and in all re-' spects to the State of Texas, as well as to thq other States which -had been involved in insur rection; . Aud whereas adequate provision has been made by military orders to enforce the execution of the acts of Congress and the civil authorities. and secure obedience to the Constitution and laws of the United States withia the State of Texas, if a resort to military force for such purpose should at any time become necessary; Now, therefore.

The following is an extract of a letter addressed to a gentleman living near this place : "A Northern soldier who was .killed duringone of the engagements in the South, had a premoni tion of his death, and gave a memorandum to a comrade of the deposit of some treasure. I have it in my possession and wish to ascertain if ydu know a gentleman by the name of Shortwell. or Boot well, (or. Boatwright,) who has, or had, a plantation on Lynch's Creek near Hanging Rock in South Carolina. If he did not find what plafe and jewels ho buried in a certain place, and will send an inventory of the articles, as a Jroof of ownership. 4. can probably tell him to what locality they were transferred." Any information concerning the above sent to this office will be duly communicated. South Carolina papers are requested to notice. Jgy Already 'the Northern radical papers are eagerly republishing the slightest objection raised by any Southern papers to the resolutions and ad dress adopted by the Philadelphia Convention. They do this to show that the South is not willing to abide by any compromise. Let -us be Patient. Tho Petersburg Index pays the following tribute to the conciliatory and magnanimous policy of President Johnson. It advises the people to bo patient and hopeful for the accomplishment of their wishes in many par ticulars not yet realized. It says : "And if there still remains something to b done, if thero is still a proclamation unwritten o be r a shackle unlrokn. h-t us vmt assured that, from the large plain of tho President's comprehensive view, there is some reason justifying, in his opin ion, the delay, and let us give him gredit for an honest purpose while we await the future!

Hois the leader-of the Con servative men of the Union, call them by what name you may. and is abreast with the foremost of them all in the recognition of the privileges of the people and the supremacy of law. Let us bo patient.' From Mexico. The following letter, says the National Republican, has been received by Seuor Romero, the Mexican Minister: Matamoras, Aug. 9, 1866. Dear Sir: The French have evacuated Mon terey and Saitillo, and both places are now in the possession of our forces. Within a month General Escobedo will hav6 ten thousand men, nnd within two months ho will be before San Louis. Tampico has been attacked by, Cuesta and Gomez, in combination with n part of the garri son. On the 4th our forces were in possession of j the pluza and nearly sill of the city, with the ex . c ptioii of the Eighth and the Casa Mata. two quarters where the French fo the. number of three ; hundred me were concentrated. I A force in the'lluesteca. under Ilerrera. of -four hundred men, has returned to the national cuue and United with Pavon. ders that on aud after the 1st day of October uext, the issue of rations bo discontinued except to the j sick in recrularlv organized hospitals and to the j orphans asylum for refugees and freedmen already established, nnd that the Stat officials, who may bo responsible for the care of the poor, be care fully notified, so that they may assume the charge of such indigent refugees' and freedmen as are not embraced in the above exceptions. S&'The. Washington Republican denounces Sec retary Stanton and charges on him partial respon sibility ior tne New Orleans riots, it says ipai ne withheld from the President Baird's dispatch of J"1 28 1"oi to the rioi, asking for immediate in- structions how to act; and notices the fact that Stanton did not even answer the despatch. The President never saw it, until Wednesday last. The Freedmen. It having been brought to the attention of the Govepnor. that certain officers of the Freedmen's Bureau construed Gen. Rob inson's order of the 13th July last, as retaining for the Bureau jurisdiction over all contracts be tween negroes and white men, whether witnessed or approved by the officers of the Bureau or not, the Governor addressed a communicatfon to Gen. Robinson, dissenting from this construction. .In consequence, the General has issued the following order: Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned ) Lands, Raleigh, Nv C, Aug, 8th, 18CG. General Orders, No. 5, General Orders, No. 3. current series, from these Headquarters, having been misunderstood, it is ordered, to pnevent further misapprehension. that all claims for wages made by freedmen, un der contracts not approved or witnessed by offi cers or agents'of the Bateau, will be turned over to the civil authorities for adjudication. The nearest officer or agent of the Bureau will, when practicable, attend the Courts during the trial of sucli cases, and report upon the action taken, in order that, if it is apparent that the freedmen are unnecessarily delayed in the collection of their claims, jurisdiction over the case may be resumed hy the Bureau. By command of Brevet Major Gen. Robinson, Clinton A. Cillev, Ass't Adj't Gen. . So long as the Freedmen's Bureau is committed to the control of.the Military, perhaps no serious objection will, be urged against proper officers seeing that the freedmen are not kept out of their just dues unnecessarily ; yet every reflecting man must see the incongruity and manifestly Uncon stitutional proceeding of having the action of civil courts reviewed by the military, even where negroes aro concerned. So long as military offi cers charged with this delicate duty demean themselves properly," perhaps no difficulty may occur, but the Courts should not, in the least, compromise their dignity and ' self-respect, by allowing a needTess aud unlawful interference with their jurisdictions, by military men. Ral eigh Sentinel. " The Radicals and Gen. Grant. The negro worshippers have now got another cause for alarm, says the New. York Herald. General Grant's presence and conspicuous position by the side of the President at the reception of the committee from the Philadelphia Convention j has thrown them luto a greater pacic than any thing that bas jet happened. They are trying to show that this was a mere accidental circum stance, when, in fact, the bearing of Grant aod the whule thing looked as though it was pre-arranged. General Grant 1s a shrewd man, and he has evidently discovered which way the wind is blowing, and has taken sides with the Presi dent and the people in this contest, Richmond 'Times. - ... Ex-President Davis The Fidelity of a Do(j The following incident is one of those peculiar instances of the sagacity and fidelity of the canine species, whicfi deserves to be recordJH ed and may be read wrth profit by some of the human family whose actions illy square with their professions. But, to our stoj : 'Immediately after the incarceration of" Pres ident Davis ia the casemate at Fortress Monroe, an old .dog, who was doubtless a rebel sympathi ser, with that remarkable instinct for which tbe canine'species are noted, appeared to understand ithat the prisoner there confined was a different individual from those usually held in duress in the Fort, and when Jlr Davis, after long con finement and most brutal treatment, was allowed to breathe the' fresh air and take exercise out of doors, the old dog's eyes glistened and his cau dal appendage twirled in the air, giving un doubted signs of gladness. - This dog followed the footsteps of Mr D. on all his pedestrian ex cursions, and when he returned to the casemate would quietly lie down and patiently wait the appearance of the distinguished prisoner. R,c ccntly'the doghas fallen under the bans of the authorities at the Fort and been expelled from that locality.- Recognizing the fidelity of the old dog, and doubtless commiserating the for lorn condition of this faithful attendant, the ex President has sent him to a friend in tli3 city with the request that the dog ba well taken care of during his lifetime. This trust will be sacredly fulfilled, and be fore many days, lbr his fidelity to our martyr ex-President, the failhful dog will have placed upon his neck a splendid collar, upon whiclr"will be inscribed the name which his present-owner intends giviDg him Jefferson Davis. Ridu mond Times. The Issue Joined. The issues-are at. last strictly defined. The lines are rigidly drawn. There can bo longer be shirkiog, or political jugglery, or attempted feats of double equita tion. There can,, until the great existing con troversy is composed, be. but two parties in the Republic, the party of the . Union . and the faction for disunion. We may even go farther, and assert, with entire truth that, -collateral to this vital issue, there is still another hardly less important, the Philadelphia platform on one side and universal negro suffrage on the other. The great National Union Convention has: laid dowu broadly and distinctly 'the principles, the success of which is essential to the restora tion of Constitutional -.Union. These princi ples are those upon which the entire'policy of the Executive has been heretofore based. The President in his late great speech, rc-afurras them with grand emphasis, and as truthfully as eloquently designates them the '.'Second Decla ration Tf Independence." So far as our obser vations has as yet extended, they are accepted by the conservative, true Uniou-lovjng press and people of the country, North and South. Rut the South can Only give them moral influ ence and support, by exhibiting, as our people have- uniformly done since tho surrender,- an honest acquiescence in the situation and ftn en tire submission to the arbitrament of arms. The great battle.is to be fought at the North. In its hands rests the momentous issue, and it be hooves us, in every way that lies in our power, to strengtlien the arms of the friehd.s of Consti tutional Utfton in that quarter. In a few days, the indications of popular sentiment there will be such as to enable us to draw some inference as to the probable effect of the action at Phil adelphia Upon the pnbhc mind, and the probable result of the Fall elections. "Mass-meetings aTe to be held in various "quarters for the purpose of ratifying the proceedings of the Convention, and they promise tp be large and enthusiastic. The contest at the North will be bitter. We shall be deeply inters&ted spectators, for upon its result depends our all of liberty and safety, as a people. If the friends of the Constitution are successful, we shall speedily -be restored to our rights and privileges in the Union. . If they fail, and the Radical elemerjt triumphs, 'no tongue can fell the further oppressions and hu miliations in store for us. What Southern man, who lores the land that gave him birth, can hesitate how to identify himself in such a straggle?

McKesson wa3 the husband xf Mr-Tate's sister, and in a drunken fit last week, shot at bis wife three times; which caused her to leave home and go to her father's for protection. . A' few days afterwards . McKesson- went and' persuaded bis wite, upon tair promises or repentanee, to return witn him to their home. In passing a neigh bor's house on the road, he told his wife to pro- ceeu on, mat ne was tnirsty ana would call and get a drink of water. . Here he met Tate, who in a mild manner re monstrated Mith him for the brutal treatment of his sister, McKesson'a wife. ' McKesson asked him if he 'Hook it up." Tate replied "no1 but he wished him to act better in the future. McKesson then told him to come out and he t would shoot him.' Tate not supposing that he would put his threat into 'execution, perhaps, stepped out at the door, and was shot down, and died in aoous ten minutes alterwards.

The assets of the. company will be faithfully assigned to the payment of its debts. Raleigh oentmel. Still Another fire. About two o'clock Sunday morning our citizens were startled by tn (to them) familiar cry - of 'fire.' It proved to be the house upon the corner of Church and Council streets, belonging to John I Shaver. Esq , ami occupied by Mr Leicester Aldrich. The origin of the fire is still a" mystery, the flames having made considerable progress when first discovered. Mr Aldrich is, we believe, a considerable loser in furniture and other valua bles. " There was no insurance cither upon house or furniture. The fire did hot communi cate to any. other building, and there were no other sufferers besides Messrs Shaver and Al drich, unless the man that hollowed 'fire" on Main street hurt himself, which we tbi"bk more than probable. Salisbury Banner, Aug. 2lst.' The Greensboro' Patriot -says one hundred and sixty-one barrels of dried blackberries were- shipped from High Point-to .New York last week. - . - Strange if True.. The Detroit Tribune records the following singular "circumstances, and vouches for their truth : "Some months since a citizen of Branch county, Michigan, employed two men to remove his deceased wife's remains, which they pretend ed to do, and claimed as a recompense one three dollars and a half, and the ether one dollar and a half. The gentleman being well pleased with the execution of the work, gave the latter two dollars, which he refused, returning fifty cents. The following night the genMeman dreamed that one of the m'en visited his room naked, his body covered with black spots, and on being asked what ailed him,-he replied that the spots indicated the lies be had told, and the large one on bis side the lie he had told him in regard to disinterring his wife's remains, which they had not done. " On awaking, his dream so impressed him that he was leu to ascertain whether the men had actually done what he had -paid them' for doing, and found that they had not. On his complaiat they were arrested and sent to the State Prison for one year for obtaining money under false pretenses, and are now serving out their time at Jackson." " The signs of the times are encouraging tnd auspicious. The action of the late great Convention has had a tremendous effect upon popular sentiment at the North. The friends of Constitutional Union are bouyaut, hopeful, active, while -dismay and consternation are every where visible in the Radical camp. The people of the East and the West, the Centre aed the South, will take up the move ment which the Convention 60 wisely prepared for them; for in its triumph at the elections lies the only hope of the peace, unity and prosperity of the country in the future. If it fail, the Union will have failed; republican liberty, regulated by law, will have failed; and either despotism, like that of the old dynasties of continental Europe, or disintegration, like that which distracts the Southern half of our own continent, will ensue, the former bringing grinding oppression, and the latter commercial ruin, wars of .xaees and sectidnsand universal chaos.
