SATURDAY, MARCH 30. 1867. Holden-Harris Convention. This body ha met and adjourned rath out doing much ot anything. Neither thf Sentinel or Progress contain & report of itc proceedings, and vre thill havo to Trait foi the Standard to see what was done and who were thero. Tho leaders whoso names were given yesterday, were, almost without exception, broken-down political hack, who hare been discarded by the various parties heretofore exiting in tho Stutc, &i nnsafe for use. Such a motley collection of bankrupt politicians, broken-down place hunters, and BeconJ-clas df-magogueo, were noTcr beforo collected together' in one meeting in North Carolina. For thoso of the colored delegates who were- present, with an honest desire to better the condition of j their race, flattered by tho interested ntten-1 tion and importance given them by design ing mon, we hare no words of rcproneh. Wbon the rorelty of the new order rf things wears away, these men will begin to look into tho antecedanta of those who now nock their support, and will find that the fntnre will provo what tho pant hr-3 demon utrated, that tho friendn of the Hack man re thoso With whom they linve been renred; that tho interest of tho whiten and blncks in this section in tho nnme, 'and thnt which injures tbo former, trill mort certainly nt disastrously tipon tho latter. Wo hat o long thought thnt nn expecta- j tion on tho part of thono now styling them selves Unioniets," and probably others, of sarins tho institution of slavery, v.aa the tint incentive for lukewarmness, and final ly open opposition to tho Confederate cause, nnd was one of the active agents of South ern defeat. It was urged, during the Inst year of tho war, that by compromise and reconstruction, our claves could bo saved. In fact, tho Standard, subsequent to the sur render cf tho Confedorato armies, in one of the many "Hold you to" articles, with which tho roadora of that paper wero daily reminded of the patriotism and acutnea of it distinguished editor, declared that if its advico had been heeded slavery would have been sated. . After one of the bloodiest rev olutions recorded in history, taxing tho strength and resources of the nioefc power ful nation on the earth to its utmost capa cityboth sections still in mourning fcr their noblest and b6st this patriot could see nothing to bo deplored but the death of eUvery ; hia statesmanship could not soar above the loa3 of property. Such men now claim to be the opecial fi lends ol tho negroes, and have taken upou tLemsch es - the. task of initiating him into their new born righte. To say we rcgrot to tee tho naiiito of i some of the persons engaged in this meet ing; ia true. There wcro those present who we thought Wjpro above uuch conduct ; we had eupposcd under no consideration would they lend themselves to the igno ble purposoa for which tho meeting was designed ; that self-respect and an hon orable putt would deter them from be ing nsed as convenient and subtle tools to deceive ignorant blacks, and prevent thn etlo cl themselves to bo released from the penalties of Congressional disabilities. Wo were prepared for this movement upon tho part of its instigator. He has fallen so low ia publio estimation as to bo unable to ac complish eviL Uis very impotency chafes him. Liko a "toothless tiger" ho sits, showing his venom and his nature, but powerless for harm except mo far as to lead and mislead others, but when wo see there the once honored representative of a virtuous and intelligent constituency, the chosen standard-bearer of a proud and no ble party, we must pauso to deplore the fact and wonder at the cause. As Oen. Dock- cry, from his elevated position, glanced at the men who composed that meeting, he must have been struck with the entire ab nonce of his old party fiiend ; and as bin eye sought in vain for such compeers as G&ajum, Maklt, W add ell, J. T. Mor.E- iixad, Cttlaw, Gilmer, Asiie, Smith, Uai TnxR and others, who had with him sus tained so long and with such credit, (he destinies of n great party ,4 possibly his chock paled for a moment, for conscience doth make1 cowards of us all" And we will bo excused from expressing a regret at tho presence of a friend, and confess a blissful ignoranco" why one fo gallant, so generous, no accomplished, could lend himself to this ignobio purpose. "We hope tho gallant soldier tnd upright jndgo was not troubled with the aching of an out raged heart, nor suffered from the lingering effects of an honorable wound : and while lraf ting tho resolutions endorsing tho legis lation of Congro3S, and approving the dis franchiscment of his bonorablo comrades in arms, wo trust ho was not disturbed by the ghosts of others, who, by hi3 finding, fill diahonorod graves. As a political body, this meeting repre sented nothing, or rather tho eedimonts of everything: whigs and democrats, know nothings and foreigners, secessionists and unionists, whites and blacks ; its leaders, consistent in tho past in nothing but office booking, with no present bond of union but a desire to hold office, and with no common sympathy for the fnturo but a hope to obtain office, alike only in the una nimity with which tho people have rejected luoir nEpirnuona.

In Philadelphia the trustees of the gas works have rcdaced the price of gas to 83 per thousand, with a reduction of ten per ' from tho tho Ealeigh Sentinel. The Grape Culture. This subject, we are glad to find, is ex-, citing very general interest. Oar "Virginia j neighbors teem inclined to te&t the culture of the vine. Tho te,t iu this Btato has been talk factory, that the grape can be produced in the greatest perfection. Un der a proper eyistem of cultivation, and the production of only tho beat varieties, it cannot bo doubtcd'thut the product van be largely increased. Our cotemporary, tho Norfolk Virginian, has collated the following facts, which go to show, moRt conclofcivcly, the value of the crop ever uny other article now culti vated iu thio State. Wo have taken the liberty of correcting the errors which oc cur in our cotcinporary'a figure. ; Tho Vir ginian says : The estimated yield per aero iu Ohio is 200 gallons ; in California 800 gallons ; and tho number of vines now bearing in the latter State is 5,500,000, with a yield of a gallon to each vine. In North Carolina the native ! Scupper nong is more fruitful, and is probably bet ter suited to our climate, and would doubt less pay better in Virginia than any other v.inety. In two years this Bpecies begins to bear, and it arrives at maturity in seven years. A vine of seven year's growth will cover 2,000 square feet ; and an acre of ground will accommodate, after allowing lor pass-ways, 15 vines, each of which will yield 14 bushels, or DO gallons ; of juic3, about 3j gallons to the bushel. Thus, an acre will grow 15 vines, which will yield 210 bufthels or 735 gallons of pure wine. This wine wonld surely, at this time, bung, in any mkrket, $2 per gallon, making the yielp in gross : Gallon, 735 at 2. . , 1 41,470 00 Cotof sugar 1100 Ost of labor. Ac 200 S00 00 .

Should the United States Gov ernment bring actions of debt, I think that tne noiders of cotton oonas may pieaa them as a set-off. It may bo necessary to resort to an equitable plea, or possibly to tho protection of a court of equity. The equitable case of the bondholders will be strenghtened by the fact that the United states Uovernment have possessed meni sci ve of the cotton set apart as the pecn rity for the payment of the bonds." The Woodward Tragedy in Indiana. Ykta. Senders is on trial at Bedford, Indi ana, accused ol murdering tnree persons last year in Orange county, of -that State. While this horrid butchery was going on, a little daughter of Woodward's seized the babe and secreted herself behind the (door, at the same time holding her hand over the child's mouth in order that its cries might not betray their hiding place, and by that means saved tho lives of both. A little son, some five years old, managed to escape by hiding under a bed. The little girl was only about seven years old, and very small for one of her age. She is a very bright child, and answered the questions put to her with a candor and frankness that is seldom wit nessed in older persons. The first thing wns for the court to determine whether sho was competent to testify. The judge asked her name. She gave it in a clear and dis tinct tone of voice. The judge then or dered the witness to be sworn, and she was then examined closely in regard to what she saw and did on that fatal night. She told all about what she did behind the door with tho babe, and how she held her hand over its mouth to keep it from making a noise; how she went for the neighbors about daybreak; and many other things which it is impossible for us to enumerate. The ro cital was very affecting, and if the defen dant at the bar was the guiltv party, he certainly must have had terrible emotions while the story was being told." 4 JUL I . EaTSs " FC2 BOSTON."

The Crops In Georgetown District. The heavy rains have been severely felt in all parts of the country, and have mate rially interfered with planting arrange ments. This has been peculiarly the case in thoso sections watered by tho large rivers, and particularly among tho rice planters. The Georgetown Times says : The wholo country east and west has been flooded, and our rice country is now suffer ing from the effects of the deluges of rain in the up country. We understand there are large freshets on tho Peo Dee, Wacca- mnw. lllack and Santce rivers, materially interfering with the labors of the planters, both in the preparation of their lands as well as postponing their planting, which nsually commences about this time. We trust this is not preliminary to a drought this summer, for with n good season we might reasonably hope for brighter pros pects, as there appears to be lees difficulty in organizing the plantations."
