I :;VLMINGfgC HOLDING BACK. y That able and conservative jdurtial," ine iiynraona tr nig again comes 10 the front .with some remarks, definjlng the true position of Southern Demo crats on the fesiion of he National ticket.

The South has not renounced its' manhood .and independence in ac cepting theV results - of i' the-' war in ! good faith.' To put' forward; a nian in hei ; name oil ' a national ticket i . who fahas .pnly recently indentified himself withwher fortune and who-has no pride in iho brightf est days of her history .would' 1 be both an ir.sulC to her and a futile de ceit. . .AVe agree also with the WMg indeed this- journal early took I the position,- that ; the i Southern States should have no : representative on the Democratic Presidential i ticket, until the whole South should be free and sectional bitterness should in almost full measure cease. The day is not far off, when our talent will be useful on tie. theatre of national politics. But for otie or two Presidential terms yet je think it is the duty of the Con servatives of this section to hold back a id labor only for the unity of the country and the salvation of its char ter of liberties. The Whiff and other Southern journals urge this course ' mainly to refute the slanderous statement cir culated by the Radical organs of the Mi': . . ' North that our 1 politicians are de- t ; . . . i sirons of nominating some prominent Southern man for Vice President next year. "Our politicians and our people condemn this, course as unpatriotic and unwise. THOSE INDEPENDENTS. j These atems respecting delegates elected to the Constitutional Conven tion as Independents and claimed by both parties are from the Raleigh A'eics: A, prominent gentleman of this city who has just returned from a trip through the counties of Asbe, Watauga and Caldwell informs us that the slightest intimation in; our paper that Dr. 'M. (X Wilcox the In dependent, Democrat eleet from Asbe was; a Uepubticau and that hewould act with that' party iu the cominij Convention, would be u gross insult to the political character and record of that gentleman. Our informant was present in the county during the can vass, and says Dr .Wilcox was supported as a Democrat by a number of the most ultra Democrats and Convention men in that county, all of whom believed, in fact knew, that Dr. Wilcox would.act wjj party on all measures of a partv ; in the Convention u of Beaufoxt who is on a bricg to his whcre Ti uJ'tl,e Independent elect from iltrn is from, that Dr. R. was anything; else 4ut a Convention man, or that he could be prevailed upon to affiliate with the Re publican parly.

THE PEACH GI.CT. sjhtion was made in our tele capic advices (of the arrival of 22,000 boxes of peaches in Baltimore. We are informed by ! Baltimore papers received ' yesterday morning that peaches ranged as low as $1 for choice shipping lots, and even as low as 10 cents and less for fruit in fair order for . immediate consumption. Fruit was wanted badly at the West. The railroad authorities had informa tion that the Western markets' were much improved, prices being $2 50 .to $3 per: box at Cincinnati and Chi cago. ; They declined to reduce rates of transportation. There are no peaches at the West and very few at the South. Bat advices from New York, Philadelphia, and other Eastern points,! show that the peach glut , is -general.
