No better evidence of the vindictive ani mosity of the radical party . towards the SontTi conid be riven, than the insults heaped upon the President at various points along the route to Chicago. Here is the first citizen of the republic, the chief Exe cutive of the nation, hooted at and hissed for daring to have an opinion of his own, and the manliness to express that opinion. Whatever feelings may have been enter tained towards him as an individual, how ever men may differ with him in regard to public policy, still, the office he fills should, of itself command the respect of all persons with the least pretentions to decency. We debase ourselves when we offer indignities to the Chief Magistrate of the'nation. In the palmy days of the republic, the parties so offending would have been held up to the just scorn of all good citizens, their very names a by-word and reproach throughout the length and breadth of' the land. This action, however, on the part of the radicals, has a deeper significance than the mere evidence of their hostility to Andew John son. It is intended to kshow the state of feeling of that party towards the South and exhibits their diabolical hate towards us, in a manner too plain to be misunder stood. The President is denounced to his face as a " traitor," and in league with the rebels of the South. Where is the treason, and where are the rebels to be found ? If to have sustained the government during the war with the most unwearied cxercises of his vast powers if to have upheld the Constitution of his country against the open and covert attacks of a powerful and un scrupulous party be treason, then is Andrew Johnson a traitor of the deep est dye. He has sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States and in the discharge of the duties of his office, has faithfully kept that oath, and it is because he would not lend himself to their wicked purposes, to be the willing instrument in their hands for the degredation of the South, and the utter extinction of its manhood, that he is now insulted and threatened with im peachment. Wo do not by any means sus tain Mr. Johnson in all of his actions since his elevation to the Presidency. There are many things he has done which would have been better left undone, and many others which ought to have been done, but have not been. He has shown, however, such a just and proper appreciation of our condi tion; has exhibited such a wise and benefi cent policy as to win our admiration and gratitude. We honor him for his patriot ism, for his manliness, his indomitable will, his determination regardless of all conse quences to himself, to do what he believes to be right. What men most admire in men, is manhood, and this it is that gives Mr. Johnson such power with the masses. He has been charged with want of dignity in some of his recent speeches. It is true that at Cleveland and at some other points along his route, his remarks were not couched in such polished language as is generally used by men occupying high po sitions, but were plain, direct, and exceed ingly emphatic, and justly so, for the prov ocation was great, and the .insult premedi tated. A gross indignity was offered him, which as President of the United States he could not resent, so laying asidq his robes of office he stood before his traducers as Andrew Johnson, the citizen, entitled by the Con stitution to liberty of thought and freedom cf speech, which liberty he then and there exercised to the fullest extent, in language so plain that the most obtuse could not fail to understand. He spoke as between man and man, and however we maykdeprecate his condescencion in stooping to bandy words -with the upstarts who insulted him, we must look for his excuse in the peculiar temperament of the man. He is naturally pugnacious, restive under restraint, and not at all disposed to receive blows without returning them with interest, and is the last man in the world to practise that di vine precept, that when smitten on one cheek, to turn the other to be buffeted also. We must confess, though, as we have, that these heretofore avowed scenes fill us with gloomy apprehensions for the future ; for unless the conserva tive element prevails in the ' coming elec tions, we shall be, of all peoxle in the world, the most wretched. Better any fate, aye, death itself, than to be left helplessly ex posed to the tender mercies of the sancti monious radicals of New England. "Better be Where the extinguished Spartans still are free, " In their proud charnel of Thermopyke." than live as slaves in the land which our fathers purchased with their blood, and whose every foot of soil is hallowed ground. God grant that the people of the North may be aroused to the momentous issue at stake, for woe be to the South, and to the whole country if this radical party is continued in power. It will be a reign of terror. They know not the meaning of the words mag nanimity and reconciliation, and have no more Christian spirit than the vandals of a barbarous age, or the bloody Jacobins of the French Revolution. The Fncdmcn. If we have an example of the future, in the appearance of the dark crowds hanging around the Court House yesterday, we have no hesitation in pronouncing that fu ture as remarkably dark. Not less than fifty and any number upwards of freedmen were there in waiting for what, we do not know. ; They had better be where they should, and where we would advise them to be, on the farms, in their gardens, or attending to some profitable employment, and keep out ' of" difficulties which they kava 'no business to be in. We1 are no enemy to the" negro. We pity their present condition, and .if they will take our advice they "will eek employment, attend to the same; and there" by eventually become ; respectable in the society in which they move.. Let them dis card Northern fanatical hirelings who come amongst them to preach corruption into their minds, and seek the teaching of those who sympathise with their present condi tion, and conform themselves like good ci- r l 1 A. il. tizens. Then they will una inai meir cun dition will improve immensely. They wil1 not have to be draged up to the Court House every three months for petty misde meanors, in which they have no business to be interested. The negro population would be serving themselves much better, if they could only understand their situation. It is the duty of the whites to advise them as to the best interest for both sexes, but, we ear as long as we have a freedmens' bu reau to contend with, that all our efforts will be in vain. Time only will develope the result. Daily Journal, lVh inst. The Times. We published Tuesday the address issued bvthe Mulatto Convention, recently assem- bled at Philadelphia to the people oi ine United States. It is precisely sucn a aocu- .... . 1.-JJ ment as might have oeen expecieu irum such a body. It consists of a tirade of laise hoods and abuse of President Johnson, and harces that he is guilty of corruption, per - . . i jury, Trmrrlm- and treason. Ave have in this countrv. in the last year, become so famil . o-rfrnviio-fint expressions of violent abuse indulged in by the Radical press and speakers, that words have almost ceased to convey their true meaning and this disregard of common decency is dis tOottoi in iintinn as -well as in words. "What iftj - sadder commentary can there be upon the depravity of the times in which we live, than the telegram from the Governor of the otate of Tennessee to the Congress of the United States, announcing the aaopuon oi ui Howard amendment, and the reception it met with in the House of Representatives. 4 Give my regards to the dead dog in the White House." The Speaker receives this message.so grosslyinsulting to theChief Mag istrate of the nation, and orders it to be read by the Clerk. It is received with cneers; not a voice is raised in behalf oi the rresi dent, in vindication of the outraged digni ty of the House, or of the self-respect of the individual members. Was such a scene ever before witnessed in a civilized country? In the early days of the republic, had a Speaker been capable of so far forgetting what was due to his own honor, as well as that of the body over which he presided, as to commit such an outrage as to order the Clerk to read a paper of that character, he would doubtless have at once been expelled from the position he had disgraced. It is a melancholy task indeed to reflect upon the events occurring around us. Fraud and corruption, vice and villainy in every form rule the hour. Virtue and honor, integrity and sobriety seem to have Ptpmal flight. All old landmarks Ml -ww- lJ have been swept away. The Constitution of our fathers is gone, and with it all reve rence for their precedents, traditions and opinions. All respect for that public opin ion which is based upon a regard for virtue, and morality, and reverence and obedience to law, has ceased ; sacrilege, impiousness and profanity have become unmeaning terms because nothing is now regarded as pure, or holy or sacred. The existence and attributes of the Divine Being, the Inspira tion of the Holy Scriptures, and the true teachings thereof, are considered topics meet to be discussed in like manner, time and place, and with equal awe and rever ence as the price of Petroleum, or the pro bable rise or fall of Cincinnati whiskey. We are clad to believe, however, that this dis graceful state of affairs does not prevail in our own country, that unfortunate and afflicted as we of me fcouui nave been, we have not yet reached t,e depth of self-abasement, and that with us there are still such things known and regarded as honor, truth, virtue and decency. A Convention of Southern men would have been incapable of issuing such an address as the one we have referred to. It is not their habit to vent their spleen and spite by villification and abuse. They may differ from an Administration, as any man may honestly do, but when they do, it is their habit to attempt to carry their point by fair and open argument. If President Johnson is engaged in corrupting the judi cial andotherofficers of thecountry ; if he is a perjured man, a traitor and an aider and abettor in murder, he ought to be im peached and degraded from his high office. He ought no longer to remain a crowning disgrace and reproach to a great empire. If the charges preferred by the Radicals be true, they owe it to themselves and to the country to take the means provided by the law of the land to vindicate f,frejr own and their country's honor. Truth must be told, even though it should involve the use of harsh words and the disgrace of individuals, and therefore, if they believe their own as sertions, we say let the Radicals follow them up withjsppropriate action. . It is needless for us to say we iep assured t&e charges are utterly and entirely false, and that fp ifc tempt to impeach the President will re sult in his triumph and their defeat. The Tesult of the late attempt by perjury and subornation of perjury to fasten upon Ex-President Payis a guilty complicity in the death of President frnc.ojn W tfflufc! less prevent another like attempt While, however, the South generally is free Jn a great degree from the reproach of the age, we regret to aee an effort, though it be a faint one, to inaugurate and pranize a Radical party in North CUrcihaa. Tbsmeff engaged in this infamous project weknpw that they do not represent the .sentiment of atiwAi" the people of the fetete, They care pot for Wf ' the leaders in calling fJ "loyal men" to meet in BaL 20th of this month is simply to give thetu selves prominence in the hope that the Radicals will carry the coming Fall elec tions at the North, and thus pave their way to places of trust and emolument tinder the new. government to be organized when a Radical Congress shall have power to dis regard the President and the laws and Con- stitution of the country. This t; is" the sole object, y for . every sensible man is obliged io know -that. Radicalism has no strength in North - Carolina. This Convention will prove as barren of good to the country as did its illustrious prototype at Philadelphia. It must, how ever, be somewhat more respectable in the material of which it is composed, for we flatter nnrsplvfis. that the whole " State of North Carolina, if " raked with a fine-tooth comb," (to use an expression once a favor ite with a cotemporary,) cannot produce so many and . so mean men as recently so ap- propriately received the hospitalities of the o.itv of PhiladelDhia. There may be as manv fools, but we are sure there will not be as many rogues at Raleigh. jtfodcrn Progress. The characteristic of this blessed nine teenth century of Christianity is progress It is indeed, wonderful to contemplate the oilx-anoprnfint made in arts, in arms, in science and in vice, if not in virtue. To some reflecting minds this contemplation is not more productive of admiration than of fear and dread, for in the wonderful events that have occurred, and are occur- ing daily around us, they seem to see the verification and fulfilment of those ancient predictions which have given so much un easiness to so many men, in so many ages since their utterance, and which it is ffht foretell the destruction of this earth, upon which amid trouble and trib ulation, we fret away our few days. This view of the case, however, does not cause us a very great deal of apprehension, for what with cholera, yellow fever, war, pestilence and famine, and the thousand and one other " ills that flesh is heir to," we have little expectation of witnessing the last grand conflagration before we are call ed from earth, and therefore admiration is the chief emotion excitedinusby the migh ty changes that have occurred. Progress marches with resistless stride and leaves its stamp upon every thing. We see it every where around us, beneath us and above us With us, in this country, to which the Star of Emphe has at last arrived, it bears the image and superscription of the U. S. I. Revenue Commissioner. In Europe it bears that of Count Bismarck and the nee dle gun. It has, however, been suggested that in Europe there is more owing to Aus trian imbecility and cowardice, than to any peculiar virtue in the famous needle gun ; upon this point, however, we are not pre pared to give an opinion. The achieve ment of the age however, that by which in future ages this century will be known, dis tinguished and remembered, is the Ocean Cable. After years of patient labor and un ceasing struggle ; after a series of failures disheartening enough to destroy the ener gy of the most persistent ; after enormous expenditures of money, success crowns the enterprise and the earth is indeed, as it were, "girdled." No two points of the civilized world are now more than a few hours apart. Every day brings us intelli gence from the remotest corners of the earth. The result of this close and con stant communication is plainly shown in the character and quality of the informa tion we are now receiving. Nothing con cerning such close neighbors and intimate friends as the Greeks, or Turks, or Chi nese, is too unimportant for transmission to us at the port of Wilmington. There is one inconvenience, however, to us, at least, who have not paid much attention to the study of Geography, since the dsiys of our boyhood, and that arises from our forgetfuiness of the names and places of some of these interesting new neighbors. This causes a blush of shame for our ignorance. This free interchange of information must be very productive of good will and harmony among mankind, to say nothing of the great benefits conferred upon the human race by the diffusion of such useful knowledge. Every one can see at a glance how instructing and improving, and witkl exciting, it would prove to the good people of Rakq. to hear, to-morrow morning, that certain freedmen had desert ed their employers in Wilmington last night, and had gone to the " Souud." All Siam would be in an uproar at once, and forthwith Chang and Eng would reoeive a dispatch announcing their appointment to the command of opposing armies. Appreciating the importance of such tel- l l 1. "I L egrams, the uaoie company nave uevuieu themselves chiefly to their transmission.

It was eomposed of the masses, the farmers and the professional men. There was no larnng or wrangling, every body seemed determined to do the "best they could ior me county nuu uuu pet ty jeai0usies were exhibited. . pr jj -p. Murphy was called the Chair, an(j Capt. Benj. Robinson and J. P. Simnson were armointed Secretaries. The districts were called over and all were rep 1 A. resent ed except three, those three districts, it was declared by the meeting, should be rep resented by proxy. We must say they were ably represented, and we believe the voters of the same will say amen to the proceed ings. The Secretaries have not furnished us with the proceedings, and we cannot give them in full. But suffice it to say, the fol lowing ticket was unanimously nominated, both by the Committee and the meeting: FOB THE SENATE. Col. EDWARD D. HALL. FOB THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Con. ROBERT II. COWAK Maj. C. Wt. McCLAMMY. During the absence of the Committee on nominations, speeches were made by Capt. Benj. Robinson, of the Dispatch, Julius W. Wright, and others, which were warmly applauded. We were pleased to witness the harmony of the meeting. There was no party in it. It was one spontaneous feeling to put for ward our best men to guard our interests. We know the gentlemen nominated last night to be true and faithful. They have been tried and the people are willing to (rust their destiny in their hands. It is proper to remark that positive in formation had been received from Dr. John R. Hawse, one of the former Commoners, that he could not, under any circumstances, consent to be a candidate for re-election. Dr. Hawse has served his county, both in the field and the Legislature, most faithful ly, but his health at this time, we are in formed, requires repose. Dally Journat, 12th. Northern Radicals and Conservatives. The North, as usual, is waxing warm in regard to the coming elections, and will shortly become the theatre of a grand polit ical strife. It is stated by intelligent gen tlemen who have traversed a goodly por tion of both the Eastern and Western States, that the Conservative element is gaining ground day by day, and in the mean while those who cling to the Radical faction are becoming more embittered, and even, if possible, more radical in their views. Wealthy and intelligent men in many large cities are growing disgusted with the ex treme measures which the Radicals propose, and are leaving the ranks of that party and arraying themselves with tno conserva tives. They have sufficient sense and rea son remaining to he aware that in crushing the South, they affect their own prosperity and the prosperity of the country. The feeling of political excitement which prevails amoncr almost every class of the Northern people indicates that a grand struggle for power is about to take place between the two factions. In the midst of the cares of business, during the hours of leisure, and, in fact, at almost any time discussions are carried on, and every thought seems to be concentrated to devise means to secure the end each particular party has in view. In the meanwhile the South stands off, a passive, but far from an indifferent specta tor. She knows full well how nearly and di rectly the issue of the conflict will affect her. In the event of the success of the Radicals, degredation and death will ensue, and her people will be the recipients of every indignity that can be heaped upon a vanquished.! powerless tnd impoverished section by an ungenerous fqe. On the other hand, if the true loyal and conserva tive men, the snpportf rs of the President and his policy, are triumphant, then, in deed, may we hope to attain to a reasona ble prosperity, and enjoy those privileges and immunities guaranteed by the Consti tution of our fathers, which was framed alike for South Carolina and Massachusetts. May God support and give the victory to the generous and true, is the prayer of every Southern heart. Scene at Wridon. Two gentlemen who have just arrived by the up train, on schedule time, approach the Hotel and find it closed. After much shaking, knocking and banging, a freed man with a pistol displayed in his belt comes to the door. The gentlemen desire to be shown tp their bed chambers, ap,d ar assigned to one room, whereat a remon strance is made, to which the Freedman re plies, " I don't see why both you men can't stay in the same room." Upon being in formed this is none of his business, he sub sides to some extent, until asked for a pitch er of water for the night, when he responds, ypU wjU get t in the morning.'' What a lovely place to stop at all night. Corxtr Cottet. Thia Court convened here yes terday, and its sitting is attended by numerous persons from the country, all having business at this term.

Cultivation of tlie Grape and AVInc-Malting in Nor tH Carolina. No. 4. Messes. Editors : In my last I attempted to show that the Scuppernong, in all its known varieties, was the best grape for vineyard cultivation in Eastern North Carolina. Admitting this to be a fact, it will be in order to treat 1st. Of the soil proper for its successful cultivation. 2d. Its management in the vineyard ; and 3d. Of arbonng the vines, and the best distance to be given them in the vineyard The soil most suitable for the Scupper nong grape, I take it, is that in which it is indigenous I mean the deep sands of the Eastern shore of North Carolina, sometimes styled, by way of despair, " pine barrens .-" and perhaps its most congenial habitat is within reach of the salt breezes of our Sound regions. I do not m-etend to sav that it may not be profitably grown beyond the reach of the actual sea-breezes : but I do think that there is its favorite locality. All of the sandy, long-leaf pine region of the State seems to be adapted to its growth ; but beyond this, in the still, red lands of the West, and at the foot of our mountains, it does not prove so prolific, nor is the fruit at all equal in flavor to that which it yields in the East. An open, sandv soil. then. seems to be the preference of this vine : and where sea-shells are mixed with the soil, or w here marl can be liberally applied, it appears to flourish most luxuriantly. Accordingly, where marl can be had, this fertilizer should at once be added in plant ing your vineyard, as it will immediately stimulate your vines into a more wonderful exuberance ot growth. Thus a great por tion of our Eastern lands, otherwise, it would seem, doomed to hopeless barren ness, can be put into most profitable culti vation. Nor is this an item of small conse quence to our State, where this character of soil prevails so extensively, and the cul- i i . . ..... - tivatiou ot which merits the attention oi every public-spirited citizen, who is desi rous of fully developing all the resources of the State. Having, then, selected a soil such as I have described, and of which anv quantity can be had in our Eastern coun ties, from Currituck to the South Carolina line, let us attend to the second point I proposed to treat of, viz : the management of your vineyard. Plant your vines not more than thirty or thirty-five feet apart each way. Set them in hills, made by first dig ging holes a spade deep, and about three to four feet square, filled up with well de composed swamp-muck, or else surface-soil, properly manured, iut a stake to each vine (which must be a rooted plant), tie it close up to its sivpport, and let it run the nrsfc seiison. In this section we generally plant out in February or March. If your vine bo vigorous set, and confined in its growth to one shoot, as it should be, it will usuallv reach the top of the stake, some seven and a half or eight feet, by autumn. Of oourse the hill should be well manured, and kept tree irom grass ana weeds all the season Now, as to arboring. During the ensuing winter set tour good posts of rich pine, if possible, in a square of about eight feet, aud lay good heart-rails, two feet apart, on the top, the posts having been previously sharpened and notched above to receive your rails. Your posts should be put at least two feet in the ground, to insure steadiness to the arbor. Lay on the top a brush, so that the young vine may ha.Ye something to cling to, ani if your plant has been well manured i will run over the arbor next year. After this, continue to I arbor and rail as the vine demands it, and I 1 Ml 1 - your vineyara win soon produce a hand some return of fruit. To any one who has seen an arbor for the Scuppernong vine, a further description will be superfluous. Those who have not, and intend to culti vate the vine, had better make a personal inspection of the manner of arboring be fore they undertake ta do it. The whole process will be understood at a glance. In course of time, I think arbors of wire will be found most economical for a series of years, as certainly they will be the most durable, if well constructed and made of strong wire. . However, in this pine region, where timber is, as yet, fo plentifm, the method first described will be the least ex pensive. Every one must decide this mat ter for himself, according to his location. Meantime the soil of your vineyard maybe cultivated in any crop you please. , How ever, care must be taken, when plowing in your vineyard, not to tear up , the ground to any depth under the arbors, as the roots would thus be injured, and, the vin resided; in its growth,. s.cjt, uU- the; oui'tivation required is, to keep, down the wee js as you wotdd abound', any. oter ' plant carefully rjaised, ahd tp scarify the soil iyith a , rake or prbng-hpe, .taking; care, . as before, ob served, not o lacerate the roots ; manure with marl, swamp-muck, bone-dust, stable niahue, 6.r any othe powerful fertilizer, i'nd your thirty pr. thirty-five feet square iU soon; present &. conjjinous arbor, oyer? hes.'

The gunboat Eugenie was repulsed off Tuspan Bay. The Liberals, under H'errowa, also cap tured 200 French troops at Tuspan and all their stores. Gen. Heigo is reported very ill at Cordova. A High Tribute to the Character of Gen. Lee. In :i long editorial article calling for a subscription of 10,000 to Washington Col lege by the friends and admirers of General 2 Lee in England, the London Standard off August 17th, speaks of him as follows : There is no living hero there are few, it any, among those whose name shines with the purest lustre in history whose charac ter has commanded so high a tribute of af fection and admiration from their friends, of respect and honor from their foes, as that of General Lee. No life more perfetlv heroic, no reputation more untarnished even by the minor blemishes which are not uncommonly found :u unison with the highest heroism, has ever been connected with a great national struggle. No-shade of vanity or egotism, nothing of the self-will or petulence so often characteristic of con scious genius, no tinge of affectation, no taint even of the pride almost inseparable from ordinary greatness of mind, which can endure every tiling hut humiliation, and regards submission as disgrace, alloy the simple grandeur of the Virginian sol dier's nature. A piety without the slight est shadow of Pharisaism, a sense of duty to which the sacrifice of every personal feeling and interest appears a matter of course, have marked his whole course and guided his every public act, whether as a soldier or as a citizen. A family connec tion and the nearest living representative of the great champion of American inde pendence, General Lee has been the Wash ington of the Confederate war : like Wash ington, a man ''whom envy dared not hate," but without even the one dark stain of doubt, if not of dishonor, which the death of Major Andre has left on the mem ory of his prototype. Xo more " selfish man and stainless gentleman " ever lived ; no soldier ever set a more admirable exam ple of the soldierly virtues of honor, chival ric generiosity, and manly simplicity ; no great man ever retired into obscurity, after witnessing alike the ruin of his cause and the destruction of his private fortune, with more of Christian patience and unshaken fortitude. " Of hi military achievements we need not spea It is enough to say that nearly all his victories were won against enormous odds, and that his four years' defence of Virginia has few parallels in history as an example of great results accomplished with smaU means and at fearful disadvantages. "What is now more interesting to remember is the personal character of the man, as dis played in the various exigencies of that try ing struggle ; the simple honesty and kind ly feeling which prompted him to console his soldiers as they reca&xl from the cannon-crowned heights of Gettysburg, with vue tvsuxance, " t is an my fault ;" the un disabled rather than you ;" the christian chivalry, which no outrage could provoke to retaliation, which, after Virgiaia had 1 1 1 t ....
