Jt will to bring about anything like an honest, genuine ttinal feeling towards us from fra our Northern br. thren. The policy of the lladical xwrty to court the negro vote is too iixed and its dependence on that vote too well known to afford any hope f a change, so long as it maintains its supremacy, but there is hope and strong ground for belief that the U nheal party is rapidly moving on to destruction. The work of disentegra tion has already begun, and every time a moderately fair minded Northern man can be induced to listen to the story of Southern wrongsand to comprehend the condition of the Southern States the lladical party feels the shock. The corrupt ions have been so gross and the frauds so glaring on the part of ( fliei;ils since the lladical party has heeii iu power that the eyes of the people have at last been opened. The facts in these cases have all been brought to light by Democrats.

To see Mr. NYsinith casually, however one would not suspect he had lived so adventurous a life, nor would one sus pect tne vast fund of humor Qrwl ttif he possesses, nor to hear him speak would it be supposed that he had never been iu a school house, i fceard W make a few remarks extempore His ideas were well expressed in well constructed grammatical sentences well chosen words, and without a single exception, so far as I could detect, properly pronounced. Mr. Nesmith is high iu the esteem of his associates as a eourtoous gentleman of honor and patriotism. lie is a Demo crat and is opposed utterly to all the corruption and oppression of the Admiuistration and the lladical party. It was Mr. Nesmith who, stripping the lion's skin from Attorney-General Williams, showed, in his true colors, the ass beneath. It will be remembered, for it was published in the Joukxal, that Mr. Nesmith said Mr. Williams must have a $1,600 laud aulet carriage and a $700 pair of horses, but that i i Oregon, betler men than he had ridden on a $50 mule, an animal that was not to be despised, even though it was a creature that "had neither pride of ancestry nor hope of posterity." I asked him where in the world he got such an ac curate description of the beas.1? "Oh," said he, "I raised mules once; I know all about them." Mr. Nesmith is a liv.ng proof of the fact that there are other schools than those taught iu school houses and that an education does not consist solely of what we learn in the walls of a college. I mention his example thu- particular ly as an encouragement to young men in our own State who, conscious of talent,may feel despondent, becaii e of the want of the advantages of educa tion, and I do this jiu-t now especially because if the Civil Kights D.ll passes all facilities for an educationof white boys in public schools in North Carolina will cease. But- let them not despair, white blood will triumph no matter whether brought in conflict with the red man or with the black man. Neith er negro nor Indian can stand against in either with or without the educa tion of the schools. it i ii i:ie.v SKSTI tl i:st. No reader of the current political history of the day will fail to be struck with the marked change in the tone and sentiment of the leading organs of the lladical party at the North. Col. WAiiErjL in his speech to his friends who serenaded him the other evening, remarked that the sure and early dis integration of the lladical party was not only diseernablo from conversations with the leaders of that party in Wash ington City, but that it was visible in their faces. The same may truly be said of their papers. The new depar ting of the New York Times, the Chicago Tribmir, and even the Wash ington Chronicle, presage the utter downfall of the party. Tchcl is indeed written iu burning letters upon the banners of Radicalism. Its mission, whatever that may have been, hasbeen fulfilled, and weighted down by cor ruption and political profligacy, its death is proclaimed in the house of i!s own friends. Ac said give a fair samjde of what is being by leading lladical papers, we below extracts from two, which are conspicuous in their devotion and for their determination to uphold the doctrine of State llights, a rather local self government, as it is now termed by those who could not per suade themselves that they would sup port any principle of the Democratic party. In ot her papers than the New York Timr:, and in other latitudes than at theNorth, it has been deemed a sufficient answer to those who talk about State P.ights to call them "Bourbons," and w hen lladical papers at the North acknowledge its weakness probably Conservative papers at the South will perceive its fol'y. The New York Time. in a kad ng editorial, comments as follows upon the recent declaration of Mr. r.atou, the newly elected Sena tor of Connecticut, that he would "try to take away the Federal bayonets from our brothers in the South, so that every State in this land shall have the same right of local government, and the same exercise of i as our own State ": Says the Tiuirx : The extreme length to which State rights theories were pushed in 1 SCO and 1S01 brought about a reaction, and that reaction has led many people to think that States rights belong to the dead and gone class of quesliems. and that any man who talks about State lights is suffi ciently answered when he is called a " r.osiibon." It is unnecessary to say to any intelligent reader that this view is a miserably shallow one, and that in reality Me: rirht of State h to govern thejii'sefe .s- as dear to the leoph as erer it fas. And it ought to be dear to them, for when they abandon it they will have utterly forsaken the system of govern ment established under the Federal Constitution. They may set up some thing else in its place, which may be called by any name that may pleaee the persons then living : but it will not be the government designed by the founders of the Constitution. It may bo a civil polity based upon parli amentary rule, or it may bo a mon archy or despotism ; but it will no longer be a "constitutional republic such as we have seen here for nearly a hundred j ears. The people will not consent to see either a Poland or an Ireland created on this soil. Look at South Carolina. The facts in reference to that State seem to be about as well established as any his torical facts can be, and they amount to this the negroes, assisted by ras cally whites, have held a sort of grand orgie in the State for several years past, have swallowed Tip among them pretty nearly all the private property in the State have ruined what may be called the native citizens even more thoroughly than the war had done, have robbed and harried like so many highwaymen, and have reduced the State to a condition which must shock every man who sees it or reads about it. The very Governor of the State is a thief. The Legislature is a gang of thieves. Is this a "Republican gov eanment" such as the Constitution expressly guarantees to all the States?" We venture to say that is not that, on the contrary, it is a government of which the Republic has every reason to be ashamed. Now it is folly to suppose that the Republican party, as an organization, will continue much longer to look on with perfect satisfac tion at this great failure. The leaders of the present moment may not pay any attention to the subiect : but if they do not, other leaders will arise who will see that justice is done. 'lias week -we all witnessed the . United States Senata engaged for about twen- ty-four hours :t n stretch in passing a bdl for the bri.cht of the nefto, merely out of a sentimental fort of deference to the wishes of a deceased Senator. liesp ct for I he dentils in cumbent on ns nil, but legislation fdiould be bus. d on a careful and wise regard for the welfare of the living, not upon "mandates," real or fictitious, of the dead. The negro has had a very fair atnouut of protection. It is import ant before going any further to find out what use he had madj of the free dom given to hira ; iu what way he has exercisftl r.lio vast ru-tlitw.nl ... .Yu j with which he l as been endowed'- wliat sort of a government he has helped to set up in the States where he is most powerful; whether, in short, he at this moment stands in need of pro tection from the white man, or the white man stands in need of protection from him. If Mr. Eaton intends to raise these questions, depend upon it he will obtain an audience, and he can not be suppressed by groans and howls, and we, for our art, shall not join in any such attempts at suppression We should like to see the questions taken up by Republicans. Mr. Carpenter made a great beginning iu reference to Louisiana. Such a work would be far more conducive to the good govern ment now and hereafter, than the i headlong assage of featimental bills in favor of the? negro. Tlui linftgfo Commercial Adcertiser, also a leading Republican ergan, of Western New York, gives the follow ing advice to its party friends in the South : "The Arkansas politicians have sent a d legation to Congress. When v. id the Southern Republicans appreciate the fact that they can no longer run to Washit gton with the story of their grievance b and ask for Federal aid in settling their private quarrels? Close upon the end of the war, when the South was ii s condition of political a d civ;! e-.no. when hundreds of tlioU'-auds of lieedmen were without a h quato protection, when loyal men were surrounded by those who had raised their hands against, the Govern ment, and when obedience to Fenleral laws w.e exacted from those who hated tle U.iion at such a crisis Con press felt iiiigetl to strain its Consti tutional prerogatives, to make a virtue of necessity, and to so shape legisla tion that the war for the preservation of the nation would not prove a total failure. In the persuance of this policy Congress was compelleel to side with those who were loyal to the Union, obedient to the Government, and in favor of rendering equal and exact justice to all men, both before the law and at the ballot-box. The loyal people of the conntry recognized the peculiarity of the crisis. They saw that the policy pursued must me 't the emergency, even though it trespassed upon Constitutional limits. Rut it was hoped all along that the necessity for exfraoriliuary special legislation would soon pass away, and that ere long matters might return to their normal condition. In due time the Southern States wete all readmitted, ample constitu tional provisions were made for the freedman's enjoyment of the rights of citizenship, and neeeled safeguards were taken to prevent the demolition of the structures which had tlemanded the sacrifice of so much life and treas ure in its erection. From that hour the Southern States stood once more upon the same plaue with the other members of the Union. It was not the object of Congressional legislation to give the Southern Republican party a perpetual lease of power. Rut yet sucn a misapprehension seems to have arisen in some quarters in reference to the reconstruction policy. If the Southern politicians are defeated at the 1 a'lot-box they pack up their car pet -'nigs and start for Washington. They are too often represented in Washington -by men of their own kid ney, and it is deliberately proposed that that body shall wastei the public t me and commit acts of gross parti sanship to elect men whom their fellow-citizens have rejected. New, there has been too much of this nemsense. The way to ehpek it ehYctually is for Congress flatly and unequivocally to let the Southern Re publicans understand that thev must settle their private grievances as they best can. ihey must learn, further more, that unless they show them selves worthy of public confidence, they must ere long bo re mantled to positions in obscurity or disgrace. Iu many of the South ern States the conduct of the Republi can leaders is anything but honorable;, j Unscrupulous, venal and litigious, they seem to have no idea of govern- 1 meut beyond an illegal acquisition or retemtion ef jiower and systematic plunder of the people. The Southern Republican party must get rid of such meu. Such scandals as have been witnessed in Louisiana, Arkansas and South Carolina must not be repaated. Among 1 he unintelligent colored voters, many tf the men in power keep their influence by representing that they are backed tip at Washington, This mis representation can easily be made clear to the comprehension of even the dullest freedman. The Southern "delegations" that are hanging around Washington must be made to feel that their game is up, that they must hence forth take care of themselves. There is no reason why the Republican party of the South should not command the respect and secure the co-operation of the best men of both races. It will do so as soon as it rids itself of a set of pestilent rascals who do not eleserve decent treatment in any honest com munity. The time must noon come -vlicn tlifro tr-ill b no room among Southern Kepubiic-uii. for ciieh men as Pinchback, Kellogg, Baxter, Clayton, Moses and a crowd of other just such precious specimens of jiolitical depravity. PIJK-iVEI.I A!D THE KII.KLIIX. The Winston Sentinel has the follow ing to say in regard to Mr. Purnell's denying that he was a Ku-Klux: WTien Mr. Tool charged T. K. Tur- nell, the Radical candidate for Super intendent of Public Instruction, with being a Ku-Klux when they met at this place, Mr. Purnell diel not deny it, but we see now from the Newbern limes that down in the eastern part of the State he does deny it. We think proofs can be laid before the editor of the Times and the public in a short time that will show conclusively that Mr. Pnvnrll win a memlirr ef the White Brotherhood. On Decoration Day the citizens of Yorkville. South Carolina, joined the United States soldiers stationetl at that post in the mournful work of decorating the graves of the Federal and Confederate soldiers. J.ne cere monies were exceedingly impressive, and Major Hart, a gallant ex-Confed erate, delivered an adaress. At the Home Missionary Society of the Baptists, just held in Washington, Dr. Jeter, of Richmond, expressed the opinion that the passage of the civil rights bill would ruin the educattona interests of the South. , Dr. Sears, who has charge of the educational fund for the South founded by Mr. Feabody.eX' pressed similar views, and asked if it as expedient to destroy an exceueuk school system in tne states Micsl tat? nominating. Convention. At an early hour yesterday morning our streets wete filled' with the "loil" and otIo:jus Republicans of thecounty, and the most casual observer knew at once that the great Republican party had gathered together to divide out its spoils. The complexion and character of the elelcgatt s canseel tax-payers to look alarmed and well they might, for a more hungry and cadaverous set of cormorants never assembleil together. They evidently meant business. Long before the hour of meeting, these "lod" e-itizeus assembled in knots of three to an indefinite number on P incess street, near the Court House, d penssing the situation, which was vastly edifying to tiie passers lvr. At'tM oY'ioeb the Executive Commit tee were called to order bv the chair man, Mr. G. Z. French, who had to call in the servn.es of inquire Moore to get the faithful together. Order was established after threats by the chairman to clear the house, aud busi ness proceeded about as intelligently as could be expected from the material in the hands of the chairman. The object of this committee meeting seemed to be to examine credentials and verify proxies, a work of ridicu lous supereragation, as the Convention subsequently contended over these same questions about as intelligently and as noisily as a parcel of baboons, but our colored fellow-citizens have a peculiar fondness for technical forms and their white companions like to pander to their little peculiarities, as these fellows do most of the voting after the Com ention does it.3 work. So Mr. French and hi Ftand-t worked away until after diuner, with a recess. All went smoothly as possible until the Wilmingtondelegates at large were called, then a contesting delegation put in an appearance. Several wit nesses were ex imincd, e'licitingnothing intelligent, lleatou moved that the eight delegates who voted for the del egates at large, be calied up as wit nesses. Bnruey moveil to amene! by having these delegates electeel again. fleaton waxed wrathy in support of his motion and saw in the eliort to oust these elele gatcs something rotten and corrupt. Our nasal organ lead us to the same conclusion. Heaton t-eems to appre ciate the negro character, for he sought to convince his sable hearers by the violence of his jestures and the strength of his lungs, and he eloes. However Josh Russ replied that Heaton could not frighten himself and his friends by his loud talk and violent language, which, however, was only a joke of Josh's,as Heaton was evidently master of the situation. During this enlightening and able eliscussion, cur hirsute friend, the Chairman, with stentorian voice and persuading stick, kept order very much in tlio same manner that a crus ty pedagogue eloes over his timid scholars. French has even a better f.ppreciation of our colored fellow citizens than neaton has. Anyhow he kept order. In the issue Burney was defeated j.nd the Manning delegates from the city at large were admitted. First blood for Manning. There was no fnrther squabbling until Caswell Township wa3 called. Here there were contesting delega tions. It was alleged that an ancient colored gentleman, Kphriam Hawes, who was ox-ofiieio Chairman of the Township, called the mcetingto order, declared himself and two others dele gates to the Convention and adjourned fie meeting. Anoth-r ixer-tiug was held and either delegates appointed. Heaton's love for the party had canseel him to visit this meeting, and he an nounced, according to a witness, that lie wasgoingtobeatoldunc'e Kphriam, as he was a mere teol of the Demo crats. Much testimony was heard, in which each successive witness broke down the testimony of the either, and they were all honorable gentlemen, at lea--t they were so elesignated by t he very gentlemanly candidates for cfiiee. One Haywood Johnson said he was not the Secretary of Mr. Hawes' ennf union, hx, was the Secretary of the last mo?iOoft. We thought this wan a clincher for Heaton. but Price got up another honest and intelligent wit ness, and caused him to contradict himself at least half a dozen times. Heaton proposed to relieve Price, but Pricesaid heproposcd torelievehimself. Occasionally the scene would become quite animated, Price and Archey Walker would indulge in not very po lite terms towards each other. Dur ing the confusion Esrpiire Moore rushed upon the scene in the most melo dramatic style hko a second Richard in quest of a horo. The hirsute Chair man put a damper upon his ardor by temanding his authority ior interrupt ing the meetiug. Ho held up a proxy most defiautly, and the Chairman and Price wilted, and the future Senator smiled a smile childlike and bland -the innocent creature. Esquire Moore introduced himself to attention by denouncing "those old politieiauciS which has been defeated, like Mayor Cannady, whose hat would hardly stav on his bead if he was to. come in here." He proposed te close the deliberations of the committee by the moving announcement that " we are hougry." This hael its effect, anel the committee adjourned until 2 o'clock. With ayellt.f delight the " Com- missarynes leaped into tne bar, one announvitg that "hei had beeneachen to tret French out of the Chair," and Alderman Wilson was called to the Chair. He was very thankful, of course, ami saia ins piece witn evi dent emotion, lie surely fedt com plimented, aud it was for him a very great honeir. II. E. Scott was asked to act as Secretary, but Jifce lusquire Moore, " he was hougry," and Heaton was " hongry " too. Wise had had his breakfast, and he undertook the unnecessary duty. Heaton spoke, in dulging in the severest denunciation of the Mayor, employing in some deli cate fish market annelations. He de clared war against Cannady and pro claimed that his daj s were numbered. W. H. Waddell addressed the mob, and reeiuested the reporters not to re port him, a request we most heartily acrree to. As Wilson could not man- acre the bauds as well as French, the meeting was reaiiy nouung out mob. At 21 o'clock French calleel his com mittee to order, and very shortly after ward they adjourneel. French then called the Convention to oreler. Gerken was requesteel to act as Secretary. The Chairman desired to speak of the unfortunate conelition of his party, but time forbade. We supposed it was because of his inahili ty to do the subject justice. Price presented a proxy, when the greatest hubbub began. The Chairman oppealeel to the Mayor, who promptly announced his readiness to protect the peace. Frenoh refused to recognize any one, and ended the difficulty by declaring Wil son elected temporary Chairman, upon the motion of Heaton, and for the first time during the trying ordeal, exhib ited the white feather. We will say that if French had been in the South before the war he would have made a model overseer. He handles niggers like an old hand at the bellows. As coon as Wilson took the Chair, and a sallow yellow fellow pamed Proctor was appointed Secretary, the confusion began. Price claimed to have a proxy. So elid Mabson anel Whiteman and others. For upwards of one Jjour, curses aud yells and threats drowned the feeble efforts of Wilson to maintain order. Hundreds were attempting to speak, aad the roll was all the time being called upon the question ef admitting proxies. Above the din could be beam the melodious veice of Pompey Harris, crj ing out, "We wa it Uf foxies in this Conven tion no foxies." And from another eiuarter Cedouel W. T. Cutlar an nounced that he could paralyze the candidates nominated bv this Conven- tion iu one minute aud a half, by the watch, and that if Heaton and Man ning were nominated they would have no more chauce than a terrapin iu h 1 without his claws. By this time the e-onfusioii became so great that a motion was made and carried that a telegram be sent to Gov. Caldwell for protection, as they had applied to the Mayor in vain. Price denied this assertion. Appeals were made to the Chair for the question. but he gravely informed all applicants that he was not in condition to recog nize any one or to know what was the question. The following telegram was ordered to be sent to the tioveruor : Hox. TorD R. Caldwell A rough crowd has assembled to break up our County Convention. The Mayor, W. P. Cannady, and G. W. Price, City Marshal, have ilatly re fused to prefect the rights of elelegates, they being biased. We ask for the sake of the party that you give protec tion in some Mise tinder executive au thority. Answer immediately. James Wilson, Chairman. The infuriated mob now called upon Judge Cantwell for a speech. That ileleetable individual did not respond. Even his delicate stomach was not equal to the occasion. So much the woree for Judge Cantwell's stomach and his chances for Solicitor. Apos tate Confederates should not have such delicate stomachs, especially when they can digest the Civil Rights Bill. A Committee was now appointed to wait upon the Mayor, to claim protec tion, but the Committee were inform ed that the Mayor would protect the peace of the e-ity. Sergeants-at-Arms were appointed and Wilson breathed freer, but the confusion continueel. A Committee on Credentials was appointed, who retired, and shortly afterwards, through their Chairman, Esquire Moore, reported that the Canadiy clique hail stole the creden tials, but neverles we git along with eut em. This Committee then for mally reported that the credentials having already been passed upon by the Executive1! Committee it was not necessary to examine them further. L. E. Rice tibjected te the reception of this report, and wished the creden tials scrutinized by the Conveu ion, wanted to be heard on this question. Amid rappings frem the chair, anel criea of "go on" anel "set down" and "hush up," and great tumult from the crowd, he proclaimed that fraud had been practiced, to which assertion W. II. Moore entered his protest by say ing "it was a d tl lie." The Chair would not recognize Rice as a elele gate, and ordered him tlown, but he would not be dozened; and the tumult continued. At this point a motion was made eleclaring James Wi.son to be perma nent Chairman and Proctor Sec retary. Carried. The tumult now became deafening, and for a length of time no individual voice could be: distinguished from another, but the, whole mass, delegates and non-ili legates, secerned to be labor ing to issue one volume of discordant sound. When the din had somewhat abated, motion was made to go into nomination fi r Sheriff. The Ooininissarvites seemed confi lent. S. H. Manning, Thos. M. Garduer, Owen Burney,- and Duncan Holmes were placed m nomination. Four tellers vere appointed, one for eacii ot tne candidates. treo. uiu moved that the voting be viva-voce; said the county delegates eemld not re-ad, and he did not want his frienels to vote a ticket tha. they did not know no more about than the hordes did. The roll was endered to be called. and James Heaton, H. E. Scott, V. 11. Moore and J. (.. Wagner were ap- pointed tellers. The vote stood on first ballot, Man ning 3S ; liirney 15 ; Holmes ;J; Gard ner 0. Motion was made to ileclare Manning's nomination to be unani mous, to which there were many elis- seutiug voices. The nomination for liEOISTF.R OF 1F.EI3 was next declared iu order. J C Hill. E Sainoson. George W Bordeaux were placed iu nomina tion. First ballot Rordeaux, .50 : Sampson, 7 ; J C Hill, 10.

J C Mann, .bnes Heaton, G P Rourk, J C Hill, J J Cassidey, D Rumley (t'fterwaids withdrawn at his own request) and J M Wise were placed in nomination. During the calling cf the roll W II Wadded wished to ex plain his vote. He would not vote with Heaton aud the Commissaryites because Heaton had not opposed the Canadayites in the Legislature on the Wilmington Charter Bill,- and eou seepiently would vote for J C Hill. The vote on first ballot was, Mann 15; Heaton, 36; Rourck, 2; Hill, 2; Cassi dey, 0; J M Wise, 0. After much more tumult aid eon fusion, it was ascertained that there was an effort made to make the nomi nation of STATE SENATOR in order. W. II. Moore, J. C. Hill, W. H. Gerken (who tleclined to let h's name be run), and W. U. Banks were placed in nomination, when nominations were, on motion, tle clareel closed. Alfred Lloyd ward- eel to speak. " but could not be heard, owing to the din and confusion. He finally sot upon a table and put in nomination Gei. L. Mabson. who now for the first time got a hearing, in or der that he might decline the nomina tion. He stated that he was a Repub lican, from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, and wanted the same pi-ivi leges for the black man as were granted to the white man, and not to do a was done- at Rocky point, mn the Convention m the interest ot a certain cMque. J. C. Hill claimed the privilege of beiner heard, in order to decline His first reason for elecliuing to be a candidate was that the pay was only S300. and that would not support him unleBs he stole. His second was, that the Rockv Point squabble had left him ont. He warned the Convention not to put in nomination any but fit men to represent the party. He had left behind him a record that eould not be beat by any negro, and unless the nominations were of the right sort. he would not support them; and there were twenty-Jive thousand negroes be hind his back of the same way of thinkincr.

On the first ballot Hewlett received 21, Evangelist 13 and Scott 1. The hands having been sufficiently amused with their arduous labors, hail for some time been gradually dimin ishing in numbers. The auxious ones, however, wished to see the thing out to the bitter end, and seemed ready and willing to place in nomination candidates to fill the va cancies in the Poor-House or on the chain-gang, if such places should only be declared offices. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. The Chair announced that nomina tions for County Commissio.aers were in order. Fifty men arose ami put in nomination at least one hundred and fifty names. Upon the call of the roll the following were nominated on the first ballot, after a soul-stirring appeal from Esquire Moore to place men of "finance ability" on the ticket, viz.: James Wilson, Archey Walker, Stacey Vau Amringe, J. G. Wagner and Isaac H. Brown. Amidst the confusion the name of Mr. L. D. Cherry, a Democrat, was placed iu nomination for County Surveyor. His nomination was about to bo made, when an elo quent appeal "not to violate the sanc tity of a Republican Convention by placing a Democrat in nomination," had its effect, and the matter was re ferred to the Executive Committee. Esquire W. II. Moore, Edw. Cant- well, Henry Brewingteui, Archy Walk er, Duncan Holmes and S. II. Man rdi.g were appointed delegates to the Judicial Convention. The mob then adjourned. The soreheads then held a Conven tion with Duncan Holmes in the Chair. Waddell, Cutler, Lloyd, Price, Mabson and others spoke until after miduight. A mass meeting was called to meet soon iu Wilmington to nom inate Republican cantlidates for the Legislature anel for county officers. Duncan Holmes waked up from his dose, in which the long anel senseless speech of Lloyd had left him, in time to eleclare the meeting adjourned. Carolina Central llailwa).

SEVENTH DAY. Thursday, May 28th, 1874. Rev. Mr. Richardson introduceel a resolution welcoming Rev. Mr. Mc Lean and endorsing the American Bible Society. Resolutions offered by Col. Collier, 1st. That the General Assembly hereby expresses its entire confidence in the Faculty of Columbia Seminary. 2d. That the General Assembly re spectfully recommend to the Faculty, that in the event services in the chapel be eleemed desirable, the attendance on said services on the part of Faculty and students be voluntary. Dr. Farris moved to substitute the amendment to the Minority Report for the resolutions now before the house. On motion the vote was taken by ayes and noes. The motion was lost. 9 t,The question was then Jcalletl and the resolutions were adopted. Rev. B. M. Smith, D. D., and Rev. Mr. Dcvies were allowed to record their votes. The Majority Report was then read aud amended, when Dr. J os. R. Wilson rose to a question of privilege aud stated that he desired the Assembly to accept his resigna tion. That while the resolution is not commandatory, yet it comes from the master of the Seminary and he is sent back the Seminary responsible for the government tf it, yet without the authority to enforce it. No sane man woulel undertake it; he begged to be releaseel. Mr. C. H. Robinson, Elder of Wil mington Church, asked the Assembly to give Dr. Wilson to his church. Dr. Matthews hoped that Dr. Wil son's request would not imply a cen sure upon the Assembly. Dr. Wilson then stated that he in tended no censure but if the Assembly had giveu him authority to enforce order and had ordered him back, he could have gone but now he added that he wished to take again a pas toral enarge. X1T"1 J "I At . , ur. wiison siateu mat mere was another reason which he was reluctant to give but hoping he would not be misnuelerstood he would say that there was a schism in the Faculty which he could not hope would be healed. TL Professor of Theology had arraigned all the Faculty; he would not sav which was right. He would oiler his resignation to-morrow. Mr. Hall introduced the following resolution which was adopted: Jtt xolecd, That the resolution touch ing the attendance on services that may be held in the Chapel of Colum bia Seminary on Sabbath elay is not intended to rellect on the Faculty or Board of Directors ef the Seminary iu any way, but simply to express the judgment of this Assembly as to the expediency of the compulsory features of such services. On motion to adopt the whole re port a elivision of the question was called for, when each several part was adopteel. Dr. Kilpatrick gave notice that he and others woulel enter protest against the action of the Assembly as con tained in the last two resolutions. EIGHTH DAY. Fbidat, May 29th, 1S74. On motion, the report of the Stand ing Committee on Foreign Corres pondence was taken up. Dr. Matthews move-d an indefinite postponement, and the yeas and nays were called for.

Dr. Pratt offered a standing Rule for adoption : It shall be ont of order for the expression of approbation er elis approbation, by stamping of feet, clap ping of hands or audible expression. ihe Rule was aelopted unanimously. By consent a communication from Dr. Jos. R. Wilson was read. With expressions of respect he re quested the Assembly to accept of his resignation. 1. It is not possible for him to ad minister a trust when the authority was taken away. 2. He was so divided, in policy and principle, from at least one member eif the Faculty, that harmony was des troyed. 3. God seems to indicate his eluty to aecept a call to Wilmington, N. C. Dr. Girardeau, calling Dr. Smith to the Chair, reael the resignation of Dr. John B. Eleler, as Professor in the Theedogical Seminary at Columbia. Tne resignations of both these Pro fessors were referred to a special com mittee to suggest a paper as the action of the Assembly, The majority report was adopted on the call of ayes aud nays on a vote of 78 to 32. On motion the blank, constituting the committee to confer with a com mittee from the Northern Assembly, was ordereel filled by the Moelerator. The Assembly then took up the sub ject of the relation to the Church of its baptized children. Dr. Smith, of New Orleans, asked leave to withdraw the last clause of the report, which was granted. Ou motiou of Dr. B. M. Smith, the word "eliseipliue" was stricken out and the word "instruction" inserted. The report was then adopted. Rev. Dr. Henry M. Smith presented a protest against t'-e action of the Gen eral Assembly in appointing a Com niittej of Conference to meet a Com mitteo of the Northern General As sembly, signed as follows : B M Smith, R K Srnoot, D A Camp bell, J W Sitnpson, Chas F Reid, A W Dinsmore, Isaac J Long, A H Phillips, J O Lindsay, John L Yantis, R S Mc Allister, Geo V Ewell, J W Rabbs, H F Hoyte, Chas F Collier, W L Whit man, D McNeill Turner, F Stringer, C H Rochester.

Rev. Dr. Wood row, of Columbia, South Carolina, and Rev. Dr: Teyburn of Baltimore, were appointed delegates from this Arcm bly to that body. Why I Exchanged, Sonie five years ago I was a subal tern in a marching regiment ami quar tered in a large garrison town in Eng land. My duties consisted of the usual round of morning ami afternoon parades, visiting the men's dinners and teas, and other regular work. li addition to this wo had oeevnionally to mount guard and to puss twenty four hours in a sort of half iaiprhoii ment. It is one of the regulations of the service, that when officers or men are on guarel they should always be in a state of readiness to "fall in" on pa rade at a moment's notice. If you feel very sleepy and desire rest, 'you must take it while you are buttoned up to the throat aud strapped down at the heels. A lounge in an arm chair, or probably a little horizontal refresh ment upon a sofa, is the extent of rest which an officer on guard is supposed to inuuige in. Amoiife, my brother subalterns in garrison, it was our usual practice to infringe upon the strict letter of the law, smd when the prineioal port of ,1i l r i k ,l our uuiy ii:m oeen arcompiisncil, we used to indulge ourselves by divesting our limbs of their armor and seeking retrenchment between the six ets of a little camp bed that was placed in f lie inner guard room. It was part of the duties of an officer ou guard to visit all the sentries dur ing the night, the time for visiting them being usually an hour er s after the field-oilicer had visited the guard; the field-officer being Colonel or Major who was on eluty for the day, and w no came once by elay and once by night to see the guards and to see "that all was as it should be. There was no exact limit to the number of limes that the field-officer might visit the guards: but it was the usual thing, and had become almost a custom, for him to come once by day and once by night, so that after the last visit the subal tern usually waited an hour or so, walked round the limits of his post, visited all the sentries, and then turn ed into bed. It was a bitter cold morning in January that my turn for guard came on. I marched my men to the post, relieved the old guard, and then, hav ing gone through the regular duty and dined, endeavored to piss the'time iiuiu tne ueiii-omeer liaa visited me. The previous evening I had been at a i ball in town, and in consequence was I very tired and sleepy, uik! looked with considerable longing to the period when I could refresh myself by un robing and enjoying a good mm .re. At length I heard the welcome ch.d lenge, "Who comes there V" which was answered by the response, "(hand rounds, and ""Guard, turn ont !" was a signal which 1 willingly obeyed, i'"' I knew that in un hour afterward I should be in the :uiii ; i t the ,, ,i sleep. Slipping on my cloak ami cap, r:nd grasping my sword, 1 placed myself in front of the guard and received the fielel-oflicer, who briefly asked me if everything was correct, directed me to dismiss my guard, and rode oil" with out saying "Good night," a proceeding that I thought very formal. Giving elirections to the Sergeant to call me in a:i hour, for the purpn.-.n of visiting the sentries, 1 thresv r.xy.-c-i into an arm-chair and tried to ea-.I a novel. The time passed very quit-Lly, as I had a nap or two, ami the See geant foon appeared with a lantern to conduct rue round the sentries. It was a terrible, night, the Ind blowiug hard, whilst the mow ami sleet wt re eliiving along b -foi e it. The thermoaieter was sevt i:il degrees be low freezing, aud 1 felt that I deserv ed much from my country for perform ing so conscientiously my arduositf du ties. The sentries were very much scattered, and I had to walk two miles to visit them all. 1 aecomjili: hed my task, however, and returned to the guard-room, whero f treated myself t a still" glass of greig, and 1 i .row inc off 1 1 A 1 1 " X. - -. my regimentals 1 jumped in!- .

The most nerveuis work, however, was passing the gas lamps, which were placed at' iutervsds of one or two hundred yards..' The wind was blowing so fresh that it was with difficulty 1 could hold my ' eio:uv u i ouuu me. ivery now and then . an extra gust of wind would come around a corner, and quito defeat alt .

I man-:: aged to dodge in the shade as much as . possible, and more than once ran the risk of being kicked by the fielil offi cer's horse, as I slunk behind him w hen the g:ts might reveal too much. It was teiribly cold, to bo sure, the -wind and snow tduiost numbing my limbs. 1 bad a kind of faint hope . that the field officer might think that I belonged to a, Highland regiment, and if he elid observe the scantiness of my attire, might believe that the kilt would explain it. I struggled and shivered on, knowing that all things must have an cud, and that my "rounds" must como tt an end before long, l'.nt J feared that I could not ' again get w arm during the night. We had nearly completetl our tour, ami were within a hunelred yards of the guard-room, when we passeel the field otiicer's quarters. I fondly hoped that he would not pass thern, and that he would dismiss mo ut the door, but l was rather surprised to see a blaze of light corne from tho winelows, and to heai-fhe sound of music. It was evi dent that there was a "hop" going on inside, and I already began to tremble from a sort of instinct that even worse misfortune was yet to attend me. Mypremonitions were true, for upon reaching his eloor my persecutor, in a cheerful tone, said: "Well, we've had a cold tour; you must come iu and have a glass of wine, ar.l perhaps a waits will warm you." "1 in really much obliged," I hastily answered, "but I should not like to leave i.iv guard." "Nonsense, guard will be come i:i.'' nonsense, all right; man the you must Tin's "must,' fermined lone. lie said, iu epiito a de- 1 felt desperate, and again eleclared that t thought I should be wrong to leave my guard.

Wneu we entered the houso and were exposed to tho light of the hall lamp', 1 fa:ie;cd 1 saw a slight twinkle , in the eye, of tho officer, ami I began to v.oud'T whether he really knew of my predicament, and wished to have his joke. lie gave no other in timatioii, however, that I saw, but quickly took off his cloak . aud said that I had better do the same. Seeing mo hesitate, he said, ' "Come, off with it." Further remonstrance I found would be useless, bo that there was no help for mc but a full confession.
