The CoNFKPEttATc Senator Elect. -We announced, briefly, in our1 last the election of. the Hon. Wm.'A. Graham, of Orange, to the Confederate Senate, to fill the va cancy which will occur after the 18th of veuruary, ii wm dc seen oy me proceedings that Gov. Graham'a vote wss a most flattering one. V. . . ViIliara A. tiraham entered public life. about thirty years ago, as & member of the House ot Commons trom the town of Hills borough, lie hag since occupied a seat in both branches of the General Assembly, and wa at one time Speaker , of the Mou'sa of Commons. He has been a senator of the United States, Governor of this Mate for four years, a member of Mr. Fillmore's Cabinet, a candidate for the Vice Presi dency, a Member of the State Cotivtntioo of 1861, and he is now a member of the State Senate. He is still, however, in the maturity ol manhood. The election of oo one to the Confeder ate Senate would have gratified the people 61 this State more than that of Gov. Gra ham. lie is, in, all respects, one of the first statesmen ift the country; and though warodv devoted to the Southern cause, he is at the same time eminently conservative in his views. Ilia information, hia skill as a debater, and his integrity of character, will at once place .him in a leading position in the body to which he has been chosen. The election of such men as William A. Graham and Uerschell V. Johnson to the Confederate Senate, is an omen of better timei. Standard. ' MANUFACTURER'S CONVE.NTIOa. . In pursuance to a previous notice the manufacturers ot North Carolina met in convention in the town of ..Greeusuorouuh on Wednesday the 3d of December, l&G. On motion of George Makepeace, Esq., the Convention was ores nixed by appoint ing C. P. Mendenhall, Ksq., chairman, and Thomas M. llult and 1). .Curtis, Secreta ries.

That all manufacturers not : Patkiotiu Examplks. -The Lexington (Va.) Gaxette says: V Col. II. H. Brown, the proprietor of the Kockbride Woolen here represented,' be requested to comply i Factory, manufactures an excellent article with the requisitions of the exemption act.; of jeans, which he sell at $.1.60 and 81.75 Resolved, That the proceedings of this convention be published in the Gresnsbo rough Papers, and that the other papers in the State bo requested to copy. Un motion the Convention adjourned;. O. P. MENDENHALuh'rc Thos. M. Holt, I ;,.,' D.Ccrtis, "r. M. V. Moaney of the' Yadkin Manufac turing Company, and R. R. Gwyn of the Klkin Manufacturing Company, being casu alty present though concurring n tie above personally, hate no. authority ai delegates, cannot therefore, pledge their respective companies. Proposxp Seizvri or Factories, &c The Finance Committee of the Georgia Legislature has reported resolutions to au thorize the Governor to seize all factories, tanneries and manufactured articles in the State, unless satisfactory arrangements can be made with their proprietors to get leather at $1 a pound, shoes at S3 a pair, cotton yarn at $2 50 a bunch, osnaburgs twentyfive cents, woolen jeans $2, cotton shirting wid, twenty cents, and. other widths in proportion. If seized, the Go vernor to employ opperativesto work them, snd retain possession until every Georgia soldier is' furnished with a' good pair of shoes snd a good suit of clothes. The committee admits that the measure is harsh, but considers it really necessary to save those so dear to them lrom shiver ing and dying away from home aod kindred n inhospitable dimes. It is to be hoped that the proprietors will not wait for the adoption of such a measure, but will at once render it unnecessary by accepting the liberal terms offered by the Exemption Law FayeUetilU-Olnervcr. Outraqeops At rata. We learn that last night aKnut ten o'clock, two men came to the residence of Dr. McRee, on 2d street, and made an assault on Mr. G. J. McRee, who was alone in the house, their apparent object being to prevent his giving the alarm. Alter choking Mr. McRee until he wss helpless, they commenced destroying per yard to consumers. He will not sell to speculators at any price. Win. Winslow, Esq., of Brownsburg, continues to sell lea ther at forty or fifty cents, while others are getting 82.00. fiotict tvthe Families of Soldi 'era in Etna nuel County. The subscriber will furnish you with all the cqm he can spare at fifty cents per bushel. With or.without nioniv. come all who need. My wife will haye it delivered.' NEILL McLEOD' Gainesville, Ga., October 24, IBGX. Well done, Capt. McLeud ! Noble is the example you have set. Many is the heart that will be cheered unnn r.nillnr this. ?en- -1 g) c erous ofler, and many will be the pram that will ascend to heaven for your preser vation and safe retuni to the bosom of your family.

It is reported, that up to the middls el October, Hannigan; the Governor elect of Arkansas, who was with Kirby Smith in Kentucky, did rut know that he had been elected,, or even that he had been a candi date. . The Synod of Alabama, at a recent meet ing, adopted a resolution postponing the election of a professor to till the chair of theology in the Columbia Theological Se minary for a year, and approving the ac tion of the Board of Directors in appointing Dr. Palmer to supply it temporarily.
