THE I.4TE-?OUTIIErif COMMERCIAL r - coXTEXTIOV. ' ' - ' those' who nerer tire of - the barlesqoe and , the farcical, that tbe late pow-wow at Knoxrille about every thiog but commerce, will gire the coup Je grace to those, heterogeneous as temblies yclept "Southern Commercial Con Tentions,' " which bare annually made the whole South anffer the ridicule due only to a few thnndergnstlcai wind bigs i hat could blowyEolusont of bis care and take posses sion of it. No one familiar with the compo-' aitiou of these assemblies will deny that fire ont of six of tbe members are as ignorant of j tbe princip'es, and consequently of the op j eratiotu of the .commeroe of the world, as t were their grandmothers, and hence it is that j nine ont of ten propositions discussed or j adopted by them, are either impracticable, L or exeessirely and patently stupid. If prac tieal and business men, engaged in commerce j and familiar with its many various and com- j plicated operations, rould meet and confer, something useful for Southern commerce might be effected. ' These men would bring business knowledge to tbe transaction of their business, and would address themselves to the business in band in a business manner, and not to eartiakling the galleries and bun combe. But this would nerer do. O ! no. It would nerer do at all.' Windy lawyers, and doctors, and everybody else, but prac tical merchants (we don't mean ribbon and tape sellers, or retailers of sugar, allspice, and loog sarse," as the Yankees call mo lasses,) must be accommodated to a free ride to the place of assembly, and when armed be permitted to din all that is sensib'e in the public ear with "bald, disjointed chat," and propositions better befitting the inmates of an ajlum for the idiotic than an assemblage in which questions concerning the vast com mercial relations of the world, are. to be treated of. ; The following article from tbe Bedford (Va.) Sentinel, will gire a specimen of some of the doings of thl commercial sachems at Knoxrille":.. - . - . . M Setotvmi, That it be recommended to the Leg islatures of all auvebulding State to pe. wets ex empting one or more -lares from liability for debts contracted after tbe paosage or snid ecu. The itinerant wind-will, recently assembled in Knoxville, under the nvunomer of Southern Chii roerrial Convention, approved the foreging, with many other equally iio practicable and nonaeiuicnl reeolution. The nore folly, indeed, combined in a proposition, the better seemed its prospects of approbation by the .Convention.' Nor will it ap pear strange that it was so,- when we reflect upon tbe- iminene -number of lnfbtted .wind-bags that were assembled on that occasion, f It was ne cessary that so large a body of men should exhibit to tbe -.world -some, evidence of its visdonv,and patriotism, or, in failing to do this best mnuifot it' stujendxi folly. Unfbrtunately tho Intter was done. Tbe approbation of the above resolu tion by the Knoxrille sarans is ruCQcient to in jure ft condemnation in tbe South ; hut a it provisions have been the subject of di-cusion and recommendation el p where, wcishall make it the foundation of a brief article. Tbe object proposed and reeommondtxl in the Mtolution, is simjJy the exemption of one or more negroes from liability to seizure for the debt of their owner. - This eemptioh- and guaranteed prveeaion, It w contend will Induce many who are not now to. become owners of slaves, thereby largely augmenting tbe number of slave owners, and thus placing Ihe institution of slavery upon a bronder and more secure basis: but is it right that this sueeief of property should bo thas exempted from liabilify for d.bt t Wecotifeks our utter in ability to discover a single ground upon whieh the jnrtice of the scheme can be maintained. I f Con vention and Legislatures possess, the right to ex empt one negro from seizure for contracted debts, they may with e.pial right, exempt fro, three, or tbeentirn numW which any rfav, owner may pues; lor, IU same . principle uiav ivuiers uie right ia regard to the first number, juut give it us regard to all numbers.

This Convention met in Richmond on Thurs day, August 29th, delegates (124 in . number) being present from Presbyteries in Tennessee, Mis souri, Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi and Mary land. Hon. Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, was chosen President of tbe Convention. J A resolution was adopted appointing one cler gyman and one layman from each Synod, to con stitute a committee to prepare business for the Convention. Subsequently the business committee made tbe following report, which was laid over for further consideration : "Whereas, all acts, resolutions and testimonies of past General Assemblies, and especially the action ofthelt General Assembly, whereby suspicion and doubts of the good standing and equal rights and privileges of tlaveholding members of the C.liurihor imputations or charges ngninst their christian character, have been either implied or expressed, are contrary to the example ana teach ing of Christ and his Apostles, and are a viola tion of the Constitution of the Presbyterian Chureh. . .

Resolved, That th s' members of this Conven tion Bdhere to, and abide by, the confession of faith of the Presbyterian Church, as containing the ystem of doctrine taught in the Holy Scrip ture ; and that we adhere to tbe form of govern ment and Book of Discipline of said church.

The' editor of the Asheville News has received a letter from an eminent scientific man, who has been engaged in making a very thorough examination of the min erals of Valley Ri ver, in Cherokee county.' That region, according to the observations of the writer of the letter to the editor of the News, is rih in minerals, and must Very soon attract the notice of scientific men and capitalists, even to a greater ex tent than it has already done. . W 5 ; , The editor of the News makes the following ex tract from the letter: . r - j . 1. Marble. There is a range of limestone run ning the whole length of the river, which has been so motamorphosed by igneous action as to be converted into very good marble. Its value as a marble, however, for all ordinary purposes de manding large masses, is materially affected by numerous seams and fractures, . which pervade, its strata; but for all purposes of building, either as rock or quick lime, as well as tor agricultural pur poses, it will be invaluable a soon 1 as a railroad shall open the way for its transport through the country. This same range of limestone is also ex tended' along the valley of the Nantihala river, throughout the lands of Capt. N. S. Jarrett.' "'t 2. Iron Ore. Running parallel ' with the mar ble there is arrange of iron ore, appearing at in tervals, and apparently of inexhaustible ; extentl This ore ha3 been worked in several places, and makes an excellent article of malcable iron It extends south-westward beyond the termination of Valley River, for ten or a dozen miles. ; 3. Lead and Silver. Included in the marble, at several points where it has been worked, deposits of lead ore have heretofore been found, which in clude a werkablo per cent of silver. This ore has not yet been discovered in sufficient quantities for smelting. , ." 4. Gold. A very large amount of gold, from surface and deposit washings, in years gone by, has been collected on Valley River. The amount obtained reached in value beyond a half million of dollars. The goldwas of very fine quality, ranging from 85 to 100 cents value to the penny weight, at the mint. But though the washings have been continued, at intervals; ever since 1830, no one had succeeded in finding the vein . from which the gold had been derived, until about the first of June of the present year. Felix Axley, Esq., of Murphy, commenced a system of cross cuttings in search of the vein during the month of May.5 He had, within the last year,- given much attention to geology, in connection with his operations as Agent for the Cincinnati, - Mining Company,"who areengaged largely in preparing for the development of the copper mines of North Carolina. With his increased knowledge of the laws governing mineral veins, he bocamo con vinced that he could find the vein from which so much wealth had been, derived. The labor was commenced by cutting s ditch across the -valley where his judgment dictated the vein was proba bly located. The ditch was: cut to the depth of the underlying rock and entirely , through the whole surface deposits, r At the distance.of 36 rods from -where he commenced,' the vein ' was struck, under such circumstances as' to give him the Ge ological key to find it elsewhere , in the valley,- The vein is quartz, and the gold is din used tnroiign its mascss in such proportion so- far as progress has been wiade, as to induce the belief that it will be quite productive. ''Included in the quarts is a very large proportion of lead ore including silver, which, on analysis, promises to be productive. It would seem that the quartz vein is the true source of the gold, lead,' and silver, and that the lead ore found in the marble has been" produced by off shoots from tha quarts vein at the time of its pro-f trusion by volcanic action from below. bM-v- . As soon as the harvesting is over, and provisions become plenty, it is intended to push the work of testing thi3 mine thoroughly i -VJ ' .

An inveetiga- tion of the rumor led to' the painful conclusion that it was, in all it3 enormity, too true to be dis- believed.; Two of the deacons of the church 1m mediately waited upon him and informed him of the charger. The Trenton Gazette says : ; Ho admitted that he had taken many libertiea with the child, but denied tbe charger er seduc tion. .His whole conduct and manner however, wa3 such as to convince the two that ho was gou ty and they informed him at once that all fur ther intercourse ' with him, as pastor -'-of their churchwas at ah end. "' '- '' '"- In the meantime, the father of the girl was made acquainted with the atrocious crime which had been perpetrated on the virtue of his ' child. 11 is exasperation became uncontrollable, 1 and arming himself for the purpose ot taking a sum mary vengeance on the destroyer, started in pur suit 01 him.
