' Alter the singing of a hymn, and prayer by the Kev. Mr. Overby, the proceedings of last night's meeting were read. The following permanent officers of the Convention were elected. President W Royal, D D. Vice Presidents B Oliver, J W Ellis, J II Picot, RII Lewis. Secretaries W II Pace and N B Cobb. The Convention decided to meet at 10 a. m., and adjourn at 1 p. m. To meet at 3 p. m., and adjourn at pleasure, and to meet at 7 p. m., to adjourn at, pleasure. ! - Julian III. Picot, Esq., of Buckhorn Academy, Hertford county, read an ad dress upon the relation ot the Academy; to the Colleges and the best means to increase the number of students in the former. : On motion, the members ot the Legis lature, the Supreme Court and the State officers were invited to be present-thia (Wednesday) evening, and at all times when they may be enabled to do so. ? The Rev. Dr. Sears, ot Staunton, Va.j Agent of the Peabody Fund, was invited to participate in the proceedings of the Convention. Also, the Rev. Mr. Tup per, of Raleigh. j Dr. Sears responded to an invitation, and addressed the Convention at some length upon the subject in relation be tween the Academy and the Co' lege. He argued that the College was almost wholly dependent upon the Academy without the advantages of the latter the Professor in the College is compelled to descend from that standard of teaching which it was intended for him to occu py. He ;; believed in the practice , of economy in the system of education. The want of" a knowledge of proper economy throughout the whole school system of the land was sadly felt. Education must : begin at the bottom ot all knowlcdge'and this first knowledge must be found inthe Academy and even . m the smaller schoolsas.the knowledge gained here would prove a great saving in the higher schools. The experience of all Cdllees will substantiate this. And - further, be did not know a single University in the country that was anything more than a mere synonyme for a College the same causes detracted from the standard of tho Universities that affected the Col ics. A thorough course of elementary instruction was absolutely necessary. nd our best efforts for the advance ment of the cause of education should be devoted in this direction. The speaker urged iu earnest language the great power of intelligence when placed in the proper channel. Dr. Pntchard said he would like to have three or tour good Baptist Acad emies in the btate. as lecdcrs to the Wake Forest College. The Rev. F. II. Ivey responded to a call, and also urged the advantages of encouraging Academies, and advanced some practical suggestions as to the best means of increasing and advancing these institutions. r AFTERNOON SESSION.

Knapp read a paper pre pared by Dr. McDowell, of Murfreesbo ro, on what should be the extent of curriculum in female schools ? r Dr. Sear3 addressed the Convention in favor of a modified form of elective system. Our Reporter did not hear any ot the addresses delivered, in the afternoon, but learns that - this effort of Dr. Sears was one of much power and depth. . Convention adjourned until 7$ P. M.

The Reporter wotsid like to give Mr. Mills' remarks, entireas w,e deem him one of the most practical and . soundest thinking men in the State. . Mr. Mills was followed by Dr. Scars, who addresed the convention at some length upon the same subject.

He is supposed to be the principal of a band of rogues who have been thieving extensively in the Brassfield section of country. Charles Jeffreys, Caleb Adcoqk and Coley Dilu ent have all missed tobacco, and it is believed that Cyrus and his clan have been guilty of the stealing. Last year ihe same party stole a-sheep and hog from Rulus Bobbitt, Esq., manufactured tobacco from W. F. Freeman, Esq., and leaf tobacco from J. Thoma3 Mitchell, Esq.,besides committing depredations of a minor character.' Cyrus Moss was committed to j on Tuesday tor burn ing an out-house belonging to Jimmy Adcock, containing about twelve hun dred pounds of coal cured tobacco. Ferry Skidmore, who was tried beLre James B. Tucker, Justice of the Peace, on the charge of purloining money from the Express office, was set at liberty, the evideuce, in the estimation ot the said officer, not being ot a character sufficiently direct to justify continuing him in custody. - Mr. T, B. Kingsbury, ex-associate editor of the Ssntinelt and at present representing the house of Walter & Co. dealers in clothing, Kentucky jeans, cas simeres, etc., of Baltimore, and Colonel John ll,-Anderson, representing the dry goods house of Peake, Opdycke & Co., Broadway, New YorK, are on a visit to to our town. Colonel Anderson has been, a portion of the time, the guest of Major N. A. Gregory. Taylor's warehouse and the Granville warehouse were both crowded With'to bacco on Tuesday, February 11th, the quantity sold being estimated at from forty five to fifty thousand pounds.! It is very gratifying to witness so decided a success on the part ot our warehouses. The young ladies of Oxford, while pre eminently distinguished for their personal beauty and accomplishments, abound in other qualities equally wor thy of admiration. Whenever called on to gender any service in behalf of the interests of religion or benevolence, they always respond with an alacrity and cheerfulness that reflect the highest lustre on their characters, . These re marks are prompted by the information received from a reliable source of the industry they have displayed in work ing for the Orphan Asylum. Quite a number of them congregated at the Orphan Asylum building, heretofore known as St. John's College, on the 11th inst., and vied with each other in plying their needles industriously, un der the direction of Mrs. Sarah A. Elli ott, who is signalizing herself by her voluntary efforts to render the Asylum a success. Persons in any part of the country who wish to contribute to a cause that commends itself to every human bosom, can send contributions to Rev. A. D. Cohen, the Principal in charge, by appointment ot Mr. Mills, who will make a proper disposition of the donations. AEENDMENTS TO TUE CONSTITUTION. -As will be seen by a reference to our report of the proceedings -of the Senate yesterday, the following amend ments to the Constitution of the State have passed their third reading by the requisite two thirds vote, and now await action of the House : Bill in relation to Public Debt Bill in relation to State University taking it out o.f the Common School system. Bill abolishing Superintendent Public Works. Bill in relation to exemptions. . Bill in relation to State Census. Bill in relation to Public Charities. Bill in relation to Federal officehold ers.

Tiie Westekn Road Mr. Feem ming's Resolution. The resolution of Senator W. V. Flemhiing, of McDowell, in regard to authorizing the Governor to appeal in the case of the Western Road, passed its second reading in the Senate yesterday, and was made the special order to-day at 11 o'clock. .Ihe bill authorizes the Governor to appeal from the judgment rendered in the Circuit Court in . favor of Henry Clews and others vs. Western Railroad, and also to institute such suits as the Governor may think necessary in mat ters growing outot said judgment the State Treasurer to give the ; necessary appeal and prosecution bonos 1 his action is eminentlv proper, and we believe the people will endorse the course of .Senator Fk mmmg in the premises. . Mr. Craige latroduced substantially the same resolution in the House a few days ago, which we commented on and approved at the time. Farmers and Mechanics Aesocia tion of North Carolina.

It is now a well established fact that Raleigh has grown to be a thriving cotton market. :. Daily our streets arc almost blockaded with bales of this great commercial com modity. Frequently the . sidewalks of our principal streets are so blocked with cotton bales that great annoyance is experienced by passers-by. We readily agree that everything possible should be done to. foster and to increase thi3 trade, and every inducement offerred to attractit hitherbut we do not think the sidewalks of a city should be umbered up with articles of merchan-! dise to the serious inconvenience of the rest of the community. Now, in our opinion, this evil can be easily and pro perly remedied, and that too in a man ner conducive to the interest ot all.. Let the Board of City Commissioners. grant a space of, say, 60 feet on the westj end ot Baptist Grove, and erect thereon! large and handsome cotton sued wtih convenient and well arranged offices at each end, and let the place -be knownj by the name ot "Cotton Exchange,'! or "Cotton Park," or by some other ap propriate name. Let this policy bg inaugurated, and we are sure that thousands of bales ot cotton will find their way to this market which are now shipped in other directions. We invite our practical and business men to give heir ideas as to the posibility and utility ot this plan. ' , : . To the Patrons of Raleigh Fe male Seminary.
