Dick, Esq., of Guilford, who cxprced much pleasure at seeing so large an as sembse,"and hoped that a spirit of generous rocon ciiiatifi would pervade their councils. He sketched th history of the Charleston Convention, and the caureaf wiich led to the final disruption of the Con vent ion Baltimore, alleging that the advocates of C Jtgrfessibnal intervention for the suppression of sla very Utro alone responsible for that calamity, nis remarks were loudly applauded throughout.

A rwplution highly complimentary to Robt P. D cM q., was reported by Mr. Little, and unani- taj ulj passed. In the afternoon an address was delivered by Duncan K.1 McRae, Esq., which, says tho Standard, was Received with the warmest demonstrations of d.-iighj and approval, and when, towards the. close, he styled Mr. Dick "the lone star which shone X iroul the dark eclipse cf North-Carolina's fidelity to Dett)9cracy," the wildest enthusiasm prevailed.

The Atlastic Cable. The effort to raise the Atlantic cable have been unsuccessful, and those who were engaged in this work have given up in despair. Tho cable is broken m so. many places that nothing can be done with it. A young lady who graduated recently in Virginia, has been committed to the Insano Asylum at Ral eigh, N. C. Her friends attributed her mental ab erration to the reading cf Milton's ParadiseLost. War are the I'kaieies Treeless ? The West erners, when they speculato on geology, arswer this question by affirming that the prairie fires have burnt them all off that they have been frightened out of existence by the fires of the Indians. At other times they vary their theory by affirming that the absence of trees is due to the deficiency of rain ; but neither does this stand examination, for the maps of the distribution of rain show that the fall on the prairies about equals that in other regions, Mr. Whitney, - in his paper on tho Origin-of the Prairies, read beforo the Scientific Congress shows that the real cause of the absence of aborescent veg etation lies in certain mechanical conditions of the soil, and in its extrome fineness. Western Paper. Photographs or the Solar Eclipse. The Bos ton Adtertiter publishes the following communica tion : Recent advices from Europe bring interesting de tails of observation made upon the total eclipse oi the sun, on July 18. The photographic pictures of ot tno corona wmcn encircles toe sun, and of the flame-like clouds suspended in its atmosphere, will be of tho greatest service in any future investigation of these phenomena. Hitherto the astronomer has been obliged to depend solely upon his eye for observation, and upon his note-book and pencil for recording the impressions derived from a hurried glance at the principal features presented. The short interval ot but throe or lour minutes, which is all that the duration of totality allows for the examina tion of the corona, has been far too little for an ac curate survey of its details. We have now, however. sen impressed pictures oi undoubted fidelity. A copy of the photograph obtained in Spain by Mr. Do La Rue bis been received in the observatory ox uirvara i-ouege, inrougn tne Kindness of Mr. Carnngton, secretary of the Royal Astronomical Society of London.. Tho apex of the highest flame is seen to reach an elevation of above 80,000 miles above the surface of the sun. Two distinct ranees A .f . .- O oi cioua-name3 occupy togetneran extent of 1,000, 000 of miles in length. Other masses, quite isolat ed from the sun, and approaching in size the larger planets, are floating it its atmosphere. The plates procured by Mr. De La Rue are thought to have suffered by over exposure, which has proba bly injured the more delicate features of the picture. By the mere accident of a sudden gust of wind dis turbing the telescope at a critical moment, it was as certained, when too late to profit by the experience, that the chemical action of the lieht of the corona was much more rapid than had been supposed ; so that, in future, not only better defined images, but many more specimens, can be obtained in the pre cious moments during which the sun is completely obscured. GPP Singular Phexoxexos. On the 25th. at SniW. field, Mass., during a heavy snow squall a ticking noise was heard coming through the switches where most of the wires running throueh the office are con nected. The sound was similar to that nr by pteam raising the lid of a kettle, and nmi.H from a wire that was disconnected in the Springfield office, and running only to Hartford, where it was also disconnected. From this wire the operator re ceiver a snocic that paralyzed his arm, and a spark of intense brilliancy was emitted from the end of one of his fingers. This noise and heavy current upon the wire disappeared simultaneously with the squall. Upon calling the attention of the Hartford ope rator to the fact, ho tested and reported similarly adding there must be something peculiar about the wire, for his arm was nearly broken."

McRae, contrac tor on the route between -this town and Fair Blafr intends on or about , Sepd9tb"to put a mail and passenger coach on that part of the ronte between this and LumbertOn. . His schedule will be arranged in connection with that of the Wilmington, Char lotte and Rutherford Road which, it is expected, will be completed to Lumberton in a few weeks. The contractor hopes to arrange a schedule so that passengers may reach Wilmington in nine hours. The distance to Lumberton is but 34 miles and the road excellent, so that the staging will be by day light and only six hours. Tri-weekly trips and two horse coaches, with which the service will begin, will be changed to daily trips and four horse coaches 'J the' travel is sufficient We hear also, that Messrs. C. S. Barbee & Bro. are now negotiating for the establishment of a stage line from Newton R. Bryan's (the nearest point to Raleigh on the Western Railroad) to Raleigh. If made, the arrangement will materially lessen the time and fatigue of the trip to and from Raleigh, substituting about 30 miles of railroad travel for 20 miles by stage. Fay Observer.

Freedom A Slave Refuses ber Freedom Cartons Habeas Corpus Case. Yesterday, Judge Ludlow had before him a carious case,- involving the liberty of a colored woman. It ieems that in July, Mr. Wm. T. Conquest, a citizen of Virginia, came to this cty, bringing with him his slave woman Sina. Some friends of the colored nice, being made acquainted with the facts, deter mined to make her acquainted with her legal rights as a resident f Pcnsylvania. On Monday, Judge Ludlow was presented with the following petition : To the Honorable the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace of the City and County of Philadelphia : The petition of Sina ConJ qui at, by ber next friend, Passmyre Williamson, re spectfully showeth that the said Sina Conquest is unjustly and illegally restrained of her liberty by William T. Conquest residing on Green street, above Tenth street, in the city of Philadelphia, for no criminal xr supposed criminal matter. To be re4 lieved from which illegal restraint and imprisonment she prays your Honors to grant a writ of habeas corpus, directed to the said William T. Conquest, commanding him forthwith to bring the body of your petitioner, the said Sina Conquest, before your Honors, to do and abide such order as your Honors may direct. And phe will every pray, '5cc. Sina Conquest. By her next friend. P. Williamson. Before issuing the writ as prayed for, Judge Lud low required Mr. Pierce, the counsel, to endorse on the back of the petition that the writ would not con flict with any process issued by tho United States Court. This was done and the writ issued, and yesterday morning, when it was returned,' Mr. Con quest presented the following : In the matter of the Habeas Corpus, at the suit of Sina Conquest To the Hon. the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions : Wm. T. Conquest, in answer to the above writ of habeas corpus, makes return, that the above-named Sina- Conquest was held to servo as a slave by this respondent, in the county of Accomac and State of Virginia ; that, in the month of July, 1860, ho returned to the city of Philadelphia, where he now resides, bringing with him the said Sina ; that prior to leaving the State of Virginia, this respondent informed tho said Sina that, by the laws of tho State of Pennsylvania, the said Sina would bo free upon her arrival, for resi dence in tho said State ; that this respondent does not detain, and has not detained, the said Sina, and has no claim, and does not claim, to hold tho said Sina to serve within the Commonwealth ; and that she is at liberty to depart, if she desires so to do ; that in obedience to the orders of the Court, he has the said Sina here before the Court, to abide by such order as may be made in the premises. (Signed.) W. T. Conquest. Mr. Pierce then, desired that the woman bo instructed as to her rights, &c. might Judge Ludlow called the astonished slave before him and informed her that, as a resident of Penn sylvania, she was a . free woman. If, however, she returned home, by the laws of Virginia, and by a decision of the Supremo Court, she would still con -tinuo a slave. She might now elect the course to pursue, and in doing so bhe ought not to allow any any one to influence her. Sina answered promptly that she preferred to go back with her master, as she would feel better con tent on her native soil, and she was assured that she would be better off in the end. Judge Ludlow remarked that he had no doubt that her determination was a sensible one. The-slave again addressed tho Court, referring to her master in the most affectionate terms. He had, she said, taken her all around town, and shown hH all the sights, and she did not think it would be honorable for her to leave him now. Judge Ludlow then dismissed the writ, with the following endorsement : Aug. 28, 1860. It appearing by this return that the within named Wm. T. Conquest does not claim to hold the within named Sina Conquest by any claim of law or constitutional rights, and the Faid Sina being in person m court and fo informed by the Court, this writ is dismissed. S. B. Ludlow. NATIONAL UNION 9IASS CONVENTION. It is recommended by the New York Express. Herald, Boston Courior and other influential jour nals, that a grand mass conventionof the people of the United States friendly to the election of Bell and Everett be held in the City of New York, durine the month of September. We cordially approve of this proposition, and do hot doubt if a call be issued for such a convention, that it will be the most magnificent political demonstration ever made in this country. Such a convention addressed, as it would be, by the first intellects and the purest pa triots in the land, would produce an effect upon the public mind that nothing could withstand. The venerable Crittenden alone would be worth going a thousand miles to hear; while Rivers and Stuart and Summers of Virginia ; Fuller . and Ingersoll of. Pensylvania; Pejton of Tennessee; Sharkey and Watson of Mississippi ; Randell Hunt of Louisiana : Badger and Graham of North Carolina ; Washing ton Hunt Barnard, Duer and Brooks of New York andHillard, Curtis and Saltonstall of Massachusetts would form a constellation of talent never united since: the election of 1 844. The convention would probably be held m the Great Central Park, and the assembled thousands be addressed from several standi at the same time. onion. Guard, A Slight Mistakc The : following , anecdote extracted from the London Court Journal ; 13 A distinguished author was recently overtaken in a shower, and took refuge under a portico at the West End. A young and beautiful lady, who was at the window, after looking attentively at him for a moment, sent a servant on with an umbrella. ThejJ nest day the delighted author dressed himself up to his last result of the problem of what ho thought was becoming, and as the umbrella was an old one, laid it aside as a souvenir, and purchasing one of the costliest taste called on tho lady to return her flat tering loan.' Sho received the new umbrella evi dently without marking tho change, and alter listen ing with curious gravity to the rather pressing tenderness of the dramatist's acknowledgments, she suddenly comprehended that he was tinder the im pression that she was enamored of him, and forth with naively explained, as he stood in the way of an expected visit from her, intended, who wished to come and see her unobserved, she had sent him the umbrella to fcthimcJF hcrnmt ttrps ! PbTsteal Education Tlie Strong how he became laca. The public have been not a little interested, for a jew; 'years, in occasional accounts of Dr. Winship, the 44 strong Yankee's" experiments in physical self' education. He is but about twenty-six years old, five feet seven inches in height and weighs one hun- ; dred and forty eight pounds. He can lift eleven hundred pounds, and is now the best example oi physical education in the United States. He was seventeen years of age before he began his experi ments, and was then but five feet high, and weighed only one hundred pounds ; his health was not good, for he already suffered from the usual dyspeptical troubles of American youth. So great have been his improvements, that he now declares it to be his opinion that no One, having 44 an atom of strength and life," need despair of the benefits of a nght system of training. He instances Mr. Warren stes timony respecting a veteran in valid, who began gym nastics in his seventeenth year, with very salutary effects; and, of course, old Comaro (famous in Ad dison's Spectator) is not forgotten, who, though no gymnast, began in his fortieth year to restore a bro ken constitution, and lived a life of health and of enviable cheerfulness till his one hundreth year. But what has been the efficacious theory of the strong Yankee ? He has given it in the Massachu setts Teacher, but, unfortunately, in an article of too great length to bo read much. We propose to take unusual liberties with his communication, in order to condense into a more readable shape his interest ing details. They are the best prescriptions we have ever met for physical self recuperation ; and, in this day, when 41 muscular " merit has become a matter of special ambition, and physical training a subject of even moral preachments, it may not be unprofit able to present to the public an example which, from both its moderate good sense, and its extraor dinary results, may be pronounced a model one. How, then, has the. Yankee doctor surpassed all the pugilistic training of the j age ? We enumerate, at much le ngth, the principles of his system. We give the most essential particulars, presenting them, however, with our owh numeration : 1. He has breathed an abundance of fresh air "almost constantly ;? j practising, wc suppose, infla tion of the lungs. 1 - 2. He has drank no .ardent spirits, and used no tobacco. The Enclisli ''training" for the "ring:" it is well known, prohibits these articles. i S. He has taken nearly every day, about a half j hour's gymnastic exercise, in the open air, and his ! is an example: of the! surprising moderation with ! which he has accomplished surprising results. 4. He has eaten heartily of such food, animal and j vegetable, as agreed with his stomach, scouting the maxim that "you should leave the table hungry." He began not to recover from his dyspepsia till he escaped this nonsense.1 5. He has taken at least ten hours rest daily, in cluding sleep, and appears to have devoted as much of if to sleep as nature would allow. 6. He has worn every article of his dress as loose and as easy as tbo freest action of his muscles and limbs would demand. ; 7. He has used the bath once a week in winter, and twice a week in summer. He denounces the daily use of cold baths. 5 He has pursued this course for nine years, and it has, during this long period, afforded him some im portant observations, if not discoveries. Herenre a few of them : 1. That it is as easy to increase the strength of the human body as it is that of a magnetic. 2. That whatever increased his strength increased his general health. He enjoys now the maximum of the latter as he probably does of the former for his force is now equal to that of two ordinary men. S. That by developing his body harmoniously, he could preclude the possibility of hernia, or any sim ilar injury that' otherwise; might result from an ex tremely violent exercise of the muscles. o. That lifting is the safest and surest method of producing "harmonious'' development, as also the most strengthening of all exercises a fact not gen erally supposed. - ). ; I 5. That the performance of twenty gymnastic feats once is better than the performance of one feat twenty times. 6. That he gained more by forty minutes' exer cise once in two days, than by twenty minutes once a day. 7. Twenty or fifteen minutes gymnastics sufficed for each da v. 8. That as strength iucreases, more intense but less protracted exercise should bo the rule. 9.. That increase of muscular power is attended with a proportionate increase of digestive organs. 10. That great physical strength may bo acquired independently of hereditary tendency to it, and, in deed, in spite of hereditary weakness of constitu tion. 11. That increased strength cannot long continue on a purely vegetable diet. 12, That increasing strength makes excretion take place less by the skin, and more by the lungs and other emunctones. 13. That -long before he could raise eleven hun dred pounds with the hands or shoulder a barrel of flour, he had put to flight the whole brood of ail ments sick headaches, nervousness, indigestion, lc., which are the familiar companions of American neaitn, or ratner ui health. inc oampsonian doctor proceeds to give some very judicious rules, deduced from his experience. for all aspirants to good health and manly vigor. lie aovises that ; 1. You should select for your sleeping room an apartment on the "sunny side," and let the sun play into it at least six hours a day, if the clouds will allow him to show his face. 2. Keep it ventilated! all the time, and esp ecially keep the windows partially open at night but avoid draughts. i 3. Practice general ablution once a week in cold weather, twice a week in warm. Too much bathing, he asserts,, "defeats every intention for which water is externally applied. , ; r 4. Take not less than eight hours' rest per day. 5. Use no food which has been prepared in a cop per, brass or bell metal utensil. Use no water that has come in contact with lead. 6. Use such food as your appetite prefers, in spite ! of Liebig or any other authority. ! It T iZ 2. it. 1 a. j- 1 x x laouuu lining at lue oest 01 gymnasucs ; uut begin cautiously, and bo careful of too much fatierue. Dumb bells be considers next desirable to lifting. 8.

Gradually wear less and less clothing about the neck," till you can keep it entirely exposed with out taking cold. t.-. . :, ,. Xr- Such is an outline of Dr. Winship's system, ft is singularly sensible ; it is almost universally prac ticable, except, perhaps, the prescription about sleep. Could it be generally; adopted in the United States, we doubt not that, in one generation," it would re duce the medical faculty fifty per cent., and the rates of life assurance correspondingly, and render us the most vigorous and most long-lived nation on the globe, as we are now decidedly the " smartest."

The demand for this unrivalled Preparation is bejond the possibility of a doabt, and its sale is becoming as large a that of any other article now before the public. Tens of thousands of persons who were sufferers are now seen daily walking th9 streets of all the principal cities of the Union, and by their influence spreading the tame ot "Dr. Baoxsox's Blood Food" throughout the. civilized world. But the trial of one bottle is more convincing than all we could say in a whole newspaper column. It gives life, health,, and bsauty to the sick, and restored, as if by magic, those who were supposed to be irrecoverably lost We need only say, try it. We would also call the attention of Mothers to Dr. Ea Toy's IsraxTiL Cordial. This is said to be superior to any article cf the kind now known. If your anxions hearts arc pained by witnessing the sufferings of your little ones, lose no time in procuring a bottle. It is an invalua ble specific for infants teething, softening their gums, and allaying all fever and irritation. By all means get the Cordial, relieve the sufferings of ycur children, and enjoy unbroken your own repose. Adtertitr A Farmer, Bridge port, Ct.
