It has lx.fi. so louir Mucel have done duty as ii correspondent that, I fe 1 j.:iie diffidence at once move u ider takinir the task, but as noitlu r the time nor the plaei have yc-t arrival diei: the wicked eea-o frcui troubling and the wcu-y are at rest, I feel com pelled to say a few word.- in exphma tioii of my long silence. rrFr.u.o. Mv last letter was wr.Uen at HuSV.o whe-ie I remained until la;t week, every day imj roving in health and strength. There can be no doubt, I think, as to the eurative properties of the waters of the Buffalo Springs.both old and new, in a very great variety of eases. Ju my oai! ease the irnprove ziv nt v. ns very marked, a 1cssing that others who l;ave fnMVred from rheu matism will duly appreciate. I hope, by the continued use of the waters af ti r my returii Iiome, to be able to keep ir.y old enemy iu a very respectable da j:ree of mbjection and finally to ac complish a permanent cure. Some of the eases that came under my observa tion were tm'y remarkable. There wa- an old gentleman named Oiivei, firi Danville, a great sufiVrer from : : '' ! . f n o liver, whose appcar :icat' d thd death would soon j. -it an i-r.d b all his troubles, if one laight jr. Ige from his long white hair and Slowing white beard, and,that, too, without any help .save that coming fr v.i the wear and tear of long years, if-, was put in a room adjoining mine and I was constantly on the look out for an occasion for a first class funeral, hut it didn't come. In a few days the old gentleman began to rally and soon was able to walk almost everywhere. The bed I heard from him was that he w.i calling for a fancy team to drive o it one of Carolina's fair daughters. !t was a 'i'Kstion w ith the young men, if he had taken the drive, whether the ! tst state of (hat old gentleman would ;e.t have been worse than the first. iJ-.ill.iIo is a great place. There were many pleasant people there from various portions of the country, especially from North Caro lina. Nor was any portion of the State ii. tt"r represented than our own good ly i-ity by the sea was by those of our fellow-citizens whom I met here that is if ladies are citizens. And then too, then? were fellow citizens from Hali fax nnd from Kaleigb, and from Edge e.iml.e, of whom any North Carolinian might veil be proud. So far as we heard no one went away dissatisfied. Colonel Co jjI", the owner of the property, himself an invalid, was also spending the summer there anel proveel t he one of the most pleasant gentle men it has been my good fortune to meet f or :-. long while. He is a lawyer hy profession and has been remarkably r-ucee ssfnl at the bar since the war. His investments have been almost en tirely iu land and upon such a scale t nit he now owns .'10,000 acres of the best lands in Mecklen 'urg county. Failing health has c nipeilcd him to abandon Lis profession. The management of t he Springs was under the charge of Colonel Cobb, a real Colonel in Lee's hi my, and well known in Virginia as t man who knows how to keep a hejtel, and Mr. Baptist, another very pleas ant prentleman. Evervthins' went along very pleasantly and very quiet- iy. In truth, if thers bo any objec tion to JiuValo, it is the fact that it was so painfully virtuous. There was very litth- card pl iying and r.rt gamb ling that 1 saw, and a very small bar room was but poorly supported. For two night, jut before I left, a friend or two and myself became so reckless as to eat "night suppers," as we used to say in college days, and immediate ly the whole place wore a dissipated a.r, and nothing but our previous good d-portment, regular habits and speedy departure savtd our reputations. So lar as I know, those two night sup ers constituted the bulk of the dissi pation at Buffalo. And yet there was "i uhitig puritanical or straight-laced ido ;t the place or the people, for there was a circus at Ciarksviile, eight ruia s d.ptant, and quite a pleasant m 1 not a f-mall party of ladies and g.':itieirt'i, and children, was easily i 'ir.d to ride over and witness the p-.-rfotmaneo, and the unanimous ver 'het ...f the party was that every one 'vas well paid for the ride. But one ua.ot always be drinking even Buf ia!o water, and so, reluctantly, I tore '' away with a full determination to r. turn again next year. After a tedious and lonesome ride id night, I found myself in Hinnsnono. Of ejur.se it was simply impossible lor me to pass through the place with- V'U f-tOpOmr?. .-f. T Jtr.t f.-" JnInD,! t was nearly a week before I found kiyself liere in mv old quarters at -hapel Hill.

Governor Graham ias ju; t returned from epiite an ex-:-!aled trip through the mountains in rgnua, Tennessee and our own State and with decidedly improved iealth.

And it would do your readers eood. py daar Jocbnai., to Tiear both these patiemeu talk about THE CONVENTION QUESTION, or they eive forth 4 - uvvi nam OUUIiU Jnt are heartily and unequivocally in avor of calling a Convention at the earliest possible day. , Nor waa it my fortune to meet with VOL. 30. but one gentleman v,ho had any doubt whatever as to the propriety of calling a Convention. Mr. Hevuy K Najic, Mr. TAvn Camukon, Dr. SmriiwicK, F. N. Stuuuwic;:, Mr. Xokwood, Dr. I'r.ios Jonks, dl warmly endorse the course of the Jottrs.. r, upon the Con vention question. A3 was to have bjen expected th able letter of your correspondent, Civis, has attracted general attention, caasing many inquiries as to the au thorship, and many complimentary re marks upon its ability. Unfortunate ly I could not speak by authority, though 1 could anel elid say that I felt quite certain from the '"ear-uaiks," that it was from the pen of that dis tinguished citizen of Halifax, KDWARD CONIOLiANI, E.SQ. Was I right ? Iu Chatham county I learn that tl.e Hon. John Manning is also iu favor of a Convention. Indeed the agitation of the Convention question has, as yet, scarcely well begun, nor has the host of those who propose to take part therein been yet marshalled. CHAPEL ntLTi. Day before yesterday I reached this place from .L-ur hain't?, just ahead of one of the severest storms I ever wit nessed. It lasted for near eighteen hours with great violence, but its fury was finally spent without serious dura age; indeed the heavy sle-ts of last winter left but little for the stoi m to hurt. Of course dullness reigis supreme here. Kuin and decay are iuscparahl from Radical rule, and wo have not yet rescued the University from the clutches of Solomon Pool. Th3 new Board of Trustees elected last winter brought suit for the University prop erty in this county, and Mr. Tourg e, (no lojger a Judge, thank Heaven, decided that the Amendments to the Constitution ratified by the people last year were not legally adopted, and further, that if they were, the Legisla ture had no power to elect the new Trustees as they elid. From this ruling the new Trustees took an appeal to the Sujremo Court, in the hope of getting a elecision at last June term. When June term came the cas;e was argued and the Court, I am informed, asked if it was important that an early deci sion in the case should be rendered. The reply was that it was all import ant that a elecision should be rendered at the earliest possible momenr, and thereupon the Courl ' took an advi sor i," or, in plain English, postponed the elecision until January next. I sball say my prayers most elevout ly when we get riel of our Radical Judges and their hard word?. Last year in the Superior Court we had Mr. Russell talking about obiter dic-ttot-i and nisi 2)''ilt$ courts, and this year we have Mr. Rodman and Mr. Reade and the rest of them in the Su preme Court, talking about (idviari.s. When Radical Judges begin to use such hard words as these, there is danger ahead for honest white people, and if this Supreme Court adrisari does not mean harm to the University I shall be very much surprised. Of course the present state of things c in result only in elamage to the Uni versity property in this place, and it may be that r.n application will be made to His Honor Judge Kerr to ap point a receiver to take charge until the suit shall be determined. I know of nothing that will give a better idea of the elesolation of the place than the statement that the Col lege grounds are so qu'et and seclu ded they have come to be a not unfre queut resort for parties of young ladies and gentlemen on PIC. NIC3 FROM 1HLLSBOKO anel other neighboring places ! I certainly never expected to have to see the day when our old alma uiairr would be a haunt for the owl anel the bat, disturbed only as it were by gay young pleasure seekers explor ing the ruins of a former ti ne and a former generation. Bat to such a condition has the Radical party brought, iu less than ten year.s, the great University of a great State. Verily, if prayers and prayer book?, both common and uncommon, were ever needed by us poor mortals they are needed here and now, anel even then it is much to be feared that curses thick and fast and bitter can not be kept baclr. S. Iu a previous issue of the EcJio, we expressed pretty clearly our view? in regard to a question that is now being quite elaborately discussed by the Conservative press of the State. There were whisperings that warned us of an early agitation of the Convention ques tion, and we hastened to commit our p?per unreservedly in opposition to the move. We could not believe, with sad experience of the past iu ie w, ia.. any ery formidable effort would be made to again force this issue. The signs indicate that we were deceived, and that a very determined fight will be made to induce the Legislature, when it assembles, ;to issue a call for a Convention to amend the Constitution. Among the advocates of this measure, we regret to see that staunch, able and reliable old veteran, the Wilmington Journal. North Car olina never boasted a paper of a high er character than that same Journal; the Democratic party never had a truer, bolder, or more devoted cham pion. In following its lead, there was but little danger of going wrong; it gave no "uncertain sound," and the ring of its metal was always clear and distinct. We are pained" to be now forced to differ with the Journal; a difference, however, that reaches no farther than the policy of the proposed move. The defects of the Constitution are huge; they are many and grievous, and were we sat isfied that the people of North Caro lina would sanction the callo f a Conven tion, we should give a hearty and cor dial amen to the proposition. But there is the rub. Convinced, as we are, that any action looking to a Con vention will be repudiated by a heavy majority, and that all the good which would otherwise result from the victory which we have just achieved will be lost in the cer tain wreck of our party, we must op pose to the bitter end so suicidal a course. We prefer "to bear the ills we have" tbaa fly to those which we know to be much worse. We repeat 1 be lemark made in our former pro : tfst against this measure, that a large c'as3 of oar people believe firmly tha ! a Convention means war, and were I you to argoi to convince tluniof their j error until Gabriel sounds his trunp i for a last move, ti.e effort would fail of ! suef-s. ; We sincerely hope our friends will ( pause ere it is too late. The party 1ms won a glorious victory; let us se I cure its fruits by a prudent course, j anel not throw it away by seeking to j accomplish impossibilities. We have I mentioned the Wilmington Journal, j particularly.as espousing the move.be j cause of its leadinp position and, de- seretny, vast lnnueuee ; tliero are others of our valued contemporaries in the same path. A glance at the past, with a close observation of the pres ent, will satisfy them that to press tins issne is to ensure defeat. II axh ington Ta Iio, We hf-ve purposely delayed refer ing to the kindly but firm protest of our cotemporary against the position which the Journal has taken upon ti e Convention issue for obvious reason?. So clearly are we of the opinion that the "fcober second thought" of our people and papers, woulel show them the overpowering necessity of a Con stitutional Convention to reform abuses under which North Carolina is retrograding rather than ad vancing, and which cannot be reme died legally in any other way, that all would unite in a demand upon th? Legislature to call one. Nor have we despaired. From our standpoint, were we to hesitate to agitate the question we wou'd be guilty of a negligence of daty to our State and party amounting to a crime. Ever siiiee the adoption of the pres ent Co:ist:tution the Democratic-Conservative speaker and papers promis ed the people many reforms in the State government if the partj' was suc cessful. I i 1870 the people, tired of the abuses of the Radical party, anel afraid of the enormous powers which Ci.jverno- Iioljen was exercising in the arrest and imprisonment of peaceable citizens, returned a very large mnjerity of Democratic-Conservatives to the Legislature. Se great was the de mand for constitutional reform that ths Legislature referred the question ef a Convention to the people by a vote ef a b?.re majority of each House, resorting to a remedy the legality of which, 1 3 say the least, was questioned by many of the best lawyers iu the State. The Federal Administration, taking advantage of these grave doubts, and the tlisturbeel condition of all the Southern States, threatened a new reeons'rnetir n and military in tervention. The Convention was ile feated by nearly ten thouaaud ma jority. But so jealous were those who voteel against the call of their true in terests, that the Democratic-Conservatives had a good working majority of the elelegates, who were elected at the same time that the call was sub mitted. The demand for reform stjll con tinued and when the Legislature met at its second session the Democrats of the body adopted some thirty odd amendments to the Constitution. But when the new Legislature assembled in the Fall of 1872, but eight of these amendments were permitted to pass by the Republican members, anel most of them of minor importance. These the people adopted in 1873, but their le gality i3 questioned anel the matter is now peneling iu the Supreme Court We had supposed that the necessity for Constitutional reform, therefore, was quite as pressing as ever; indeed, as our people became sorer under the heavy burdens of the government that it was even greater, and all that was nece sary was to secure the two-thirds majority in both Houses, and the re form was a fixed fact, as it was a vitil necessity. Thi.i majority has been secured. Nothing remaius now to bo done, but to vote for Convention, elect elelegates, revise the Constitution, and the p es ent Legislature could meet next Fall, elect officers and otherwise carry out the provisions of the new Constitu tion. . But when everything isiu our power and the necessities of the people de mand action, we are told on all sides to wait it woulel be ill-advised to do right at this time we must conciliate Fresident Grant, Attorney-General Williams and Beast Butler by doing nothing for our own welfare ; and then, too, here and there a North Car olina Republican voted with us, and a few Republican counties elected Dem ocratic members, and they might be mad ; and we have suffered so long uneler protest, we can now possess our souls in patience voluntarily. And how long? Until we appease the insane vengance of Grant, Williams a-d Butler? until we convert Abbott and Tourgce and Cant well, to Conser vatism? or until the Federal Govern ment relieves us of our heavy burdens of taxation and debt ? Or shall we wait until we have a two-thirds majority in both Houses of the Legislature again? Two years hence a President is to be elected, and who can tell what influ ences, judicial, military and monetary, will be brought to bear upon the North Carolina elections? Let the his tory of 1872 answer. Shall we then throw away the present opportunity? Shall we disregard the sufferings of our people? Shall we do nothing for our State, burdened with a heavy fraudulent debt? Shall we do nothing to economize our Govern ment, to improve the laws and their administration, to restore the ruined credit ol the State and revive the University and common schools? No! And because Grant and Williams and Butler object; because a few Republi cans do not agree with it; because it is not good political policy. For shame ! For shame ! ! Give tis a Convention and the people will send a large majority of Conser vative delegates. The government will be reformed, suited to our wants and sympathies, and economized so that with hardly an increase of the present taxes the interest on our legal WILMINGTON, I tlebt coii'd be p'd, our credit restor ! ed, the i'.'.gal debt repudiated, the j Unioniversity and common schools re- vived, and the old State pi iced again j on the high road of impiovement nrd preisperity. With all due respect to our cotem porary we must continue to Agitate this Conventiou question. When the people's representatives decide against us we shall gracefully submit, but un til then we shall work faithfully and zealonsly for the welfare of the people whose dearest iuterests demand that our State fjovernmont shall he encon omized and re-formed. .(! IS I AN I A. Nothing that has been said or wiit tsu, says the Boston J'oxf, by leading public men concerning the merits of the latest Louisiana trouble afford.? more complete internal evidence of soundness and reliability than the opin ions of IJorj, Chaf-les O'Conor, recent ly given in a letter to tho New York Herald. Standing conspicuously apart from the political prominence which so many others upon his social and pro fessional level covet, ho has approach, ed this important question from a pure ly judicial standpoint, and iu his, con clusions the re is a notable absence of partisan heat. Assuming, as he thinks he has a right to, that Kellogg was not duly elected, as the judgments of the press and nearly all deservedly influ ential persons in or out of office con cede, he reduces the unsettled points to the single question, "Was the origi nal errer of j liQ President iu recogniz ing Kedogg as Governor a conclusive judgment, which, subject only to a re view by Congress, was absolutely binel- I ing upon all persons, including the President himself, and also irreversi ble by him even, though he should have subsequently eliscovereel this mistake ?" Mr. O'Conor'3 analy sis of this disputed rjuestion throws light over a considerably becloud ed controversy. Many who con elemned the President's original en dorsement of Kellogg heuest!y thought that he had no alternative but to re peat himself when his work was over thrown by an indignant people. The eminent jurist gives them the best of reasons for discontinuing the conflict between their sense of justice and their construction of Constitutional authority. While the power and duty, as defined by the Constitution, to pro le?t each of the States against invasion leaves tho Federal Executive no op tion, on the other hand, in all ca-es of "domestic violence," he. i ; without the light to interfere until policitetl by the Legislature or State Executive. If the State Legislature chooses to ac quiesce, Pedei-al interference is un lawful while it is in session or can be convened, or ev.-a during its recess, provided the Governor, for any reason, eleelices to ask such assistance. But Federal aid was solicited in the early stages cf this difficulty, and in default of any action by Congress it became a part of the President's eluty to decide which side he should recognize as en titled to the pi otcctiem of the General Government. This decision, however erroneous, was binding on all so long as it remained in force. The last and in jst serious develop ment of the difficulty reopen, d the en tire quej-tiou r.o far as the President wa.s concerned. Congress hael neck let teel to take action upon the case, and the President's decision stood for tified only by the dig'iity aud author ity that ce r ted iu him personally and officially. The question of events was whether this decision thus supported was irreversible, and this ag sin wa left to hi own determination. Had Congress acted and adopted the same i policy as the Executive it could, and doubtless would, have reconsidered its act on in this emergency. There had been recent precedents in as high a tribunal as the Supreme Court of the United States of its highest officer re versing his own formeropinions. Since Gen. Grant had first put Kellogg in place evidence had thickened, a ran' i tude of safe r.nd enlightened cor ei loig had spoken, and generally in dis sent from the action which he had taken. The Penu revolutionary move ment was an offence against Stat 3 laws only, and an accident resulting in the death or captivity of Kellogg, such as might not improbably have eee'urred, would have rendered it Constitution ally impossible for the President to lift his hand in settlement of the distur bance or in subsequent arbitration, and thus "after ili3 ouster of Kellogg by Penn, tho application of the former to the President presented mcredy a re newal of the same precise question j which arose upon tho first dispute." Here was another opportunity allowed to pa&s unimproved. The injustice of the Presielent's original decision had been brought home to him in convin cing ways that he coulel not gainsay, I and the very burdens that he had im- j posed at last afforded a chance for just and graceful reparation . But he chose to give bis original error the despotic immutability of Persian law, and threatened to vindicate, sword in hand if necessary, the infallibility of his first decree. Thus there rests upon him the odium of a double and inten sified responsibility for Louisiana's woes, and that which was last incurred is not the least to his discredit. Mr. O'Conor has mide no crvaiugmeut of the President or anybody else in his judicial review of tho situation, lie has taken the public for his jury and delivered hi3 charge to them, and without leaving their places the ver dict which they must return will be twice guilty of the grand larceny of the rights and liberties of a State. It 's a curious fact that Paris, with all its love of music and amnsetae)-, and its crowds of foreigners, jf11?1 import an opera-at lee always called upon furnnsh sub sidies in aid ,i Italian and French nneras th Opera Comique and the SSSe when It plays. But even with subsidies, which have been cut down since the fall of the empire, the busi ness ia not always a paying one. N. G., FEIBAY, OCTOBER 9, 1874. A liiM.miic Secret. I'liira Llio h'c:ii.o Trilauu. Few people know how deeply in debted the United States is to Russia for kindly services during tho war. It has often bieu vaguely whispered that Russian influence prevented the armed intervention of France, and per hnps England, in behalf of the South. We are enabled to lay before cur read ers trustworthy information, never be fore published, iu support of the truth of tiiis rumor. When Governor Curtin, on the eve o his return to this countrj', went, in his capacity as min ister to Russia, to take formal leave of the emperor, the latter closed the con versation substantially in these words: "1 wish, sir, that you woulel, upon your return, express your hearty thanks to the American people for the n ecption they have given my son. the Grand Duke. 'Alexis.'' This, it will be remembered, was shortly after Gen eral Grant had refuseel to return Alexi3 call, and the Litter had left Wash ington iu disgust. Govern Curtin noticeel the erpperor's failure to send thanks to the government as well ns the people. He supposed, however, that it was a slip of the tongue until the empress bade him farewell in al most precisely tho same words. "I shall be happy," 1 e said, "to carr3 your majesty's thanks to my govern ment and people." "I sent my thanks, sir," the empiess retorted, "to the people and only to the peo ple." Governor Curtin afterward complained of tho slight that hs,d thus been publicly put upon tne govern ment he represent- d. 119 was invited by Gortschakoir to a conference on the subject. Three books were brought in lrecu the archives of the foreign efiiee. The first contained an auto graph letter from Napolen HI, asking Russia to join with England and Franch iu breaking i.p the Federal blockade and guaranteeing the independence cf th Confederacy . The letter asserted that England had already promised her co-operation, which was probably a lie. The second book contained the Emperor's reply. He flatly declined the alliance pre.pesed by Napoleon, and declared that, in the event of any European in terftrenee in tho war, Russia would actively aid the North. The third book hud within it cepies of the seeled orders given to the Russian Aelniiral who, as cur readers wili remember, brought his fleet into New York har bor during the var. The creler direct ed him to proctcd at once, with his whole avaihd lo farce, to New York City; to remain at anchorage there for some time; and, ia the event of Eu ropean intei t'erenc? with the blockade, to put ids whole foreo at the command of tho Cabinet at Washington and to promise abundant and speedv reinforcements. While Governor Curl in .'tared dumbfounded i at these unexpected proofs of Russia's steadfast thh iity to tho Union cause, Gortr-chakofi" .-aid to him: "Perhaps you can appreciate, sir, why the em peror and empress sent their thanks to tho peeple who have !: nored the Grand Dnk Alesis and not to the gov ernment that h;.s insulted him. We saved yuur country, aud now yo;ir President insults our representative. It is too much." Curtin (-uite agreed with him and the interview ended. We ha . every leason to trust the gen tleman from wh Mn we have rec-ived this story. It v. ill probably be found true substantially, although there i.:i, of course, be errors in detail. A0. 's ii it ( HI It i A;tisrujtt-3i:5 l.eueriil oavci'.lion, The approaching session c-f the Gen eral Convention of the Episcopal Church in tho United States, which commences in New York on the 7th of October, is already beginning to at tract much attention among the mem bers of that communion, who will await with more or less anxiety the an ticipated action of the Conventiem in i i regard to the grave question of "rit ual uniformity." This General Con ention meets oniy trienuially. The last session e;f the body was held at Baltimore in October, 1871. It is com posed of all the Bishops of the Ameri can Church, representing forty-one dioceses and missionary jurisdictions, and clerical and lay deputies revrcseut- ing eacn i3 at the ioi'ts;'. x i.e jouseoi uisr sess'on of lt?71 was com- i os( d of fiitv Bishop:-; at least there were ti.at number then entitled to seats in the venerable body. Since that date there have been five Bishops consecrated, which would make the whole numbt r iu the present house fifty-four, but since the adjournment of the General Convention of 171 death has greatly thinned the ranks of the chief pi'stors, as ninny as nine of the Right Rev ivnd Fathers having been called away from their earthly labors. One has also left the Church, Bishop Cux.unns, of Kentucky. The names of those who have dhd c-iuc-o October, 171. are aa follows ; Right Rey. C. M' Tlvains, Bishop oi num. lifg'it Rev. Martin on of Massachusetts. Eastburn, Bish Upfohl, Bishop Right Rev. George of Indiana. Right Rev. T. F. 1uyK TIL-,hep of South Carolina. Right Rev. Wm. 11. Armitagc, Bish op ef Wisconsin. Right Rev. Georg- M. Randall, Bihop of Colorado. Right R-.-v. .1. Gottleib Auer, of the African Mission. Right Rev. J. II. Whitehouse, Dish es n o. Illinois. 'Right Rev. II . W. Lee, Bishop of Iowa. The Bishops of Ohio and Indiana have been succeeded by the Assistant Bishops of those dioceses, aud succes sors have since been consecrated to the sees of Massachusetts and South Carolina. Successors have also been elected to the sees of Wisconsin and Illinois, Tho, if approved by the House of Bish;a03 mid a majority of the dioceses us' represented' in the House of Clerici d and Lay Deputies, will be consecrate.! probably during the session in New York. A succes sor to the vacant missionary jurisdic tion in Africa wili no doubt be elected by the House of B;sh ps nt their ap proaching session. The "House of Clerical and Lay Deputies," as the lower branch of the General Conven tion is called, is composed of eight delegates fa I" c'-crioal and four lav from eaeh organised diocese, thus constituting a deliberating body num bering three hundred and twenty-eight member?. At Chicago money to loan on real estate is so plentiful that the most con servative loan ngentu are urging ' upon owners of unimproved property, even at nine per cen, fo" a term of years, and take a menage upon the land and improv ints to be made with the loan I'he owners of the land burned ori" the recent tire, mclud jn ,me sixty acres, mostly of dwell ings densely populated, have been compelled to rebuild to make the r property productive. Perhaps the most important cause is a reduction of thirty-th'rep per cent, ia the cost of building. Good common brick can now be had for QG per 1,000, aid labor is so cheap that the entire cost of brick laid in the wall, including the cost of mortar, is cot more than $!) per 1,000. Precious Stone. An interesting paper on the subject of precious stones appears in a recent number of the St. Petersburg Gazette. M. Gilson, the author, has just com pleted a journey round the world; undertaken for the express purpose of making inquiries into this branch of trade. From his researches it aj'pears that, owing principally to tho plenti ful supply from South American fields, diamonds are at a lower price than they have been for ten years past. Tearls and emeralds, on the other hanel, are at a premium. At New York, an opal about the size of a moel eratiy sized olive would bring, at the present times about 1,200 roubles; a sapphire of the same size would be worth 1,800 roubles, an emerald, 10, 000, a diamond, 180,000. and a ruby, T0.000. In Europe these prices would vary somewhat, opals autl sappires bringing more, anel emeralds less. Pearls are now brought from Central America. California, and the Persian Gulf, but none of them rival those of the East Indies. The diamonds annu ally impovted from South Africa into America are worth about seven mil lion roubles, and the importation into Europe average about the same. Many of them are of good size, and nearly all, without exception, are of a yellowish tinge, tho consequence being that eltamonds of a similar color have actually gone down 75 per cent, in tha market. Diamonds, indeeel, would have fallen lower in value had it not been that the realization of enormous fortunes in America through pretroleum anel military contracts cre ated an exessive demand. A similar depreciation in the price of diamonds was occasioned at tho time of the dis covery ef the Brazilian diamond mine?, Golconda having previously supplied the market.

The Raleign Era (Sept 10, 1874.) said : "It is esttmateel that in the Demee.ratic State of Georgia alone, Oite hundred negror-v arc hilled da)!y the civil rights bill not yet a law, being a pretext for these mur ders. What a magnificent country that must be for the local reporters. Sure ly our Georgia cotenaporaries ought to be hapny and supremely blessed with so much material handy for getting up good and sensational papers. Our condition is in sharp contrast with theirs; for here, verily, little happens that is cf interest, and some really marrowly items of news that do opcur, we ares specially besought not to use for politic:;! and other consieleratieins. lint we never dreamed ot sucn a ncu field of journalistic enterprise as a uindi.d murders ot negroes or diem. The state vhite people iter ment is well calculated to niako the journalistic mouth to vatev, und the ioiunrdistiu eye to tarn green with the fire i envy.

The only moral which we consider it worth while to deduce from this start ling publication is this: what a splen elid country it ought to be for "lo cals," where they kill foiUs at the rata of one hundred per day, including Sundays. teicrburg Index and Ap peal. We mike no apology for the length of the communication advocating the call of a convention, which is copied from the J ournal. While not satisfied with the writer's conclusion, we eloubt whethec we could present our readers with an article ci eiual length in which they would find more to interest and instruct. There is one matter the disfran chisement of free negroes in tho con stitution of 1835 about which our traditions do not fully accord wuth the statement of tho wiiter. The Gama liel at whose feet we learned our first les3on iu history and politics, and who by the way never admitted the justice of this disfranchisement was very decided in the opinion that all the disabilities inposedon free negroes in that constitution were intended to disqualify them for co-operation with the Puritan fanatics who were endeav oring, through peddler missionaries and incendiary circulars, to excite in surrections in the South. If our account is the true one, we deem it worthy, at this particular time, of confirmation, and we shall be pleased to hear some gentleman who is familiar with the history of thor.e times.

The following letter was i-eeeived bp Judgo Shcklefoi'd, of this city, yestt r- UHV; Gainesville, Cook County, Tux as September 1(5, 187-1. Judge Shacklrford, Nashville, Tenn: Sn: From the Law Register I Hud your name aud the position you have occupied induces us to write to you and ascertain the investigations of au important case, if wo are not barred by the statue of limitations of your State for recovering real estate. The facts are, that about the lattei part of the seventeenth century, one Littr.n Lanier killed a man in Nashville. He adandoned your State and left 320 acres of land, on which Nashville now stands. He never conveyed the land, or had any steps taken iu regard to the matter. Louis Lanier, a grand son of Litton, requests us to ascertain if anything canacconqished. Bcrdeman it Garnet. Te this letter, Judge Shackleford replied that the parties being citizens t ot lexas, the statute of limitation did not commence running in this vase until tho State was addmitted into the Unicu in 1815, and that, if there are no married women in the case, or ten ants by courtesy, he presumed the right to the land was forfeited, but that if the oontrary wero the case the property might be recovered. Our old citizens will remember that some forty years ago, an attempt to push this claim was made by Governor Wise, of Yirgiuia, but that such an ex citem nt was created thereby, the suit was aWueloned. Ifc'ine Year of Iliwtorv- From the New York Sue- .iiUtial. If instead of end" g the war na 180."), when their great armies surren dered, the Houthern people had con tinual to struggle with desperation, ob rcinaey and ferocity if they had shown a spirit of uncompromising hostility in guerrilla warfare, in local outbreaks aud other demonstrations of animosity, individuals among them would have been put to death for treason, and others would have suffered in propor tion ; but as a body they would have been far better treated than they have been, and would be to-elay infinitely better off than they are. Had they continued in arms and in hostility, their ponejuesfc by military force w :uld undoubtedly have been signal anel severe; but after it was ac complished, they could not have been in any woree condition than thet of subjugated provinces held under mili tary government, administered by military men according to military rnles. Armies would have been main tained among them to preserve order and repress sedidion, but while they would have been governed sternly, it would have been an honest govern ment. Avarice would not have been its one inspiring passion, and its vic tims would have had to endure tyran ny, but not robbery or fraud. They would have been subjected to the operation of a regular system regular ly administered. They would have had no political existence, but there woulel have been no plundering addi tion to their public debt, and the tax s they would have been compelled to pay would not have gone into private pocKets oi Liovarnors, legislators and Juelges, holding office through cheat ing elections anel exercising power for the one sole purpose of robbery. .insteau oi Keepung up the war, they submitted patiently and sincerely to tho government against which they had revolted. They had .been beaten in the prolonged struggle; and now they honestly desired to live as citi izens, and not as enemies, in the land where they wero born. During the war their efforts had been so tremend ous, and so unanimous, that it is not too much to say that they remain without a precedent in history. Their pacification was equally as astonishing anel unparalleled. The war disap peared a3 if by magic Its spirit, as well as its manifestation, utterly ceas ed; so that wo who wero conquerers, were enabled to elisband our armies, and of tho one million men that we had enrolled for their subjugation, hardly a corporal's guard was retained under tho stanelard to defend our con quest through the whole enormous area of the Confederacy. With the submission ef the South began a iew drama as inhuman and revolting as slavery, and more subtly terrible than the worst evils of war. Peace was asked and promised, and the form of civil government; but while this promise was kept to the ear, it W!.s broken to tho sense. We did not call them conquered provinces, but States; and proceeded to let loose upon them an insatiable swarm of plunderers whose like was never seen. Tne carnival of specula tion, fraud anel public plunder which has nrevailed in NTnrMi Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana for these eight years sur passes belief, and cannot be justlv appreciated at the present day. Geor gia and Texas have been saved by the early overthrow of the Republican party within their limits and the transfer of their Governments into honest hands; L-t in the other States villainy lias run an incredible riot, and Legia'ators, Governors and Judges have outdone all previous conceptions re specting the potentiality of theft. The people arc stripped; their property is so worthless that it will not sell for the taxes; and. yet the rapacity of these official brigands i3 unsated. A crushing load of public debt is heaped upon each of these States- but the proceeds have been Etclen, and there is nothing to show for what the citizens are called upon to pay. And to crown and perpetuate these wrongs the most ingenious devices are p;t in force to keep the robbers in authority anel to eleprive the people of even the possi bility of turning them out by means of the ballot. Sueh is, in brief, the history of reconstruction; such is the present condition of the Southern people; and sueh are the reasons why, in 1874, when a portion of them are driven to utter desperation by eight years of. boundless extortion aud hopeless fraud, it is necsasary to stretch out the military arm and send.bayonets among them once more. Thr facts are patent and unquestionable; and the Northern people cannot ponder them too wisely or too well. Chapter on egro Itlilitia. The New York Herald of Tuesday says : "A emarkable practical commenta ry on one of the provisions of the Feel eral Constitution has been furnished by Governor Moses and Attorney Gen eral Williams. Moses made applica tion to the President on Friday for troops to suppress domestic violence in the town of Edgefield. The Attor ney General replied on Saturday, in forming him - that one company was already there and was elcenied suffi cient. The grotesque absurdity of confessing that the whole militia of South Carolina is incompetent to cope with a local disturbance which a single company of Federal soldiers suffices to hold in awe needs no words to set it forth. It is a burlesque ou that part of the Consitution which declares that "a well reg-dted militia being neces sary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." The South Carolina militia affards a won derful "security" to that "free State" when it is confessedly unequal to au exigency for which one company of the regular army is ample ! But this cor respondence has iis sael as well as its lidiculons siele. It is u shame and scanelal that an American State is or ganized on so false and unsafe a bash that a petty local entente threatens to topple it into ruins. Moses gave as his reason for applying for Federal treeps that 'I am powerless to enforce my orders except by the use of inex perienced State militia' a confespi-m that the negro militia is utterly worth less in a State where the negroes out number the whites in the proportion of Jnearly two to one. By the last census the white population of South Carolina was only 289,008, nud the ne gro population w:as 415,814. And yet Moses quivers with fear, nud tele graphs to Washington Joy aid against a small local disturbance in a rural town P A Ileantiful Story. Extract fro -a a rpeech of ii n. Cu.lei. A . nt i: at TascnnOiia. During the winter of 1863-61 it was my fortune to be President of one of the courts-martial of the Army of Northern Virginia. One bleak De cember morning-, -while the snow cov ered the gronntl and the winds howleel around our pamp, I left my bivouac fire te utfend the session of the coui t. Winding for miles along uncertain jvtths, 1 at length arrived at the court rrouud at Round Oak Church. Day aftei day it had been our duty to try the gallant soldiers of that army, charged with violations of military law; but never had I on any previous occasion been greeted by such anxious spectators as on that morning awaited the opening of the court. Case after case was disposed of, and at length the case of "The Confederate States vs. Edward Cooper," was called charge, desertion. A low murmur rose spontaneously from the battle scarred spectators, as a young artil leryman rose from the prisoner's bench, and in response to the ques tion, "Gnilty, or Not Guilty an swered, "Not Guilty," The Judge Advocate was proceed ing to opeo the prosecution when the Court, observing that the prisoner was unattended by counsel, interposed and enquired of the accused, "Who is your counsel ?" He replied, "I have no counsel." Supposing that it was his purpose to represent himself be fore the court, the Judge Advocate was instructed to proceed. Every NO. 41. charge and specification against the prisoner was sustaineel. Tho prisoner was then told to introduca hi3 wit nesses. He replied, "I haye no wit nesses." Astonished at tho calmness with which he seemed to be submitting to what he regarded as inevitable fate, I said to him, "Have you no defence? Is it possible that yon abaneloned your comrades and deserted your colors in the presence of the enemy vUhmrf eug reason.'" He replied, "There was a rea son, but it wi 11 not avail me before a mili tary court." I said: "Perhaps vou are mistaken; yon are charged with i the highest crime known to military i law, and it is your duty to make i known the causes that influenced vour actions." For the first time his man- ; 1 i -. - . i iy lorm iremoieu au.l las Lino eves swam in tears. Approaching the President of the court he presented a letter, saying as he did so, "There, General, is what did it." I opened the letter, aud in a moment rav eyes filled with tears. It was passe d from one to another of the court until all had seen it, and those stern war riors who had passed with Stonewall Jack3on through a hundred battles wept like b'ttle children. Seou as I sufficiently recovered my self-possession, I read tho letter as the defence of the prisoner. It was in these words : My Dear Edtrardl have always been proud of you, and since vour connection with the Confederate, army I have been prouder of vou than ever before. I would not ' have you do anything wrong for the world; but before God, Edward, unless you come homo wo must die ! Last night I v.e; arouseel by little Eddie's called and said, "What's the matter, Eddie?" and he said, "Oh, mammn, I'm so hungry !" And Lucy, Edward, yourelarling Lucy; f,he never com plains, but she is growing thinner and thinner every day. And before God, Edward, unless you come home we must die. Yor:t Marv. Turning to the prisoner, T asked, "What diel you do when you received this letter?" He replied: "I made application for furlough anel it was rejected; again I made application and it was rejected; a third time I made application and it was rejected, and that night as I wandered biwkward and forward in the camp, thinking cf my home, with the rnild eyes of Lucy looking up to me, and the burning words of Mary sinking in my brain, I was no longer the Confederate soldier, but I was the father cf Lucy and the husband of Mary, and I would have passed those lines if every gun in the battery hael fired upon me ! I went to mv home. Mary ran out to meet me, her angel arms embraced me ; and she whispered, 'O.' Edward, I am so hap py! I am so glad you got your fur lough!' She must have felt rae shnd- der, for she turned pale as death, and oatohing her breath e.t every word, she said, 'have you come without vour furlough? O, Edward, Edward," go back! go back! Let mo and my chil dren go down together to the grave, : but O, for Heaven's sake, save the honor of our name!' And here I am, ! gentlemen, not brought here by mili- ' tary power, but in obedience to the ; command of Mary, to abiele the sen- I fence of your court. " j Every officer of that cor.vt-martial ; felt the force of the prisoner's word. Before them stood, in beatific vision, j the eloejuent pleader for a husband'. i and a father's wronga ; but they had been trained by their great leader, ! Robert E. Lee, to tread tho path of i duty, though the lightning's fia:-h j scorched the ground beneath their i feet, anel each in his turn pronounced ! the verdict. Guiltv.

The finding of the court is approved. The prisoner is pardoned, and" -nil! re port to his company. It. E. Lee, General. During the second battle cf Cold HarLor, when tin t and shell wer falling "like torrents from the moun tain cloud," my attention was directed to the fact that one of our batteries was being silenced by the concentra ted fire of the enemy. When 1 reach ed the battery every gun but one had been dismantled, and by it siocd v. solitary Confederate soldier, vith the blood streaming from his side. As he recognized me, ho elevated Ids voice above the roar of the battle and ;.a:d : ''General, I have one shell h ft : n ;i me have I saved the houeu-of Mary and Lucy V" I raised my hat. Once more a Confederate shell went crash ing through the ranks of tho ene my, and the hero sank hy his p;un ; rise no more. Heaven knows, my count i vnu i-, I loved that lost cause, but this, in which we arc iuw engage I, is no h ss sacred. Wo will do our whole duty iu this campaign, and, if need be, in' tho moment of death, fire the last shot in our battery for the honor of Mary and Lucy.
