A wise man was Solomon, so saith the records, but all his namesakes do not possess his wisdom, and therefore Solomon Grelish, despising the proverbs and advice of his worthy biblical pre- decessor, thought proper to get drunk and kick up a row, in which amusement he was interfered with bj a policeman and arrested as a disturber of the peace. He was fined ten dollars and cd fined until paid. Dark clouds came o'er the sky of Toney and Eliza's matrimonial felicity, and last evening the elements of love and jealousy came together. Eliza accused Toney of attentions to a. lovely yaller gal living up town, which Toney indig nantly denied. Eliza persisted in ase eve rating that guch was the fact, until Toney at last, eh raged beyond the point of forbearance, seized upon a dinner knife and endeavored tn commit a violent assault upon himself, but somehow or other the skin was too tough or the, knife was not snarp enough, and there was no damage done. It was then, Eliza thinking that ft was her put in, commenced a series of squalls, and made night hideous. The policemen in the vi cinity made a descent and both Toney and Eliza spent the balauce of the night in durance vile, and they were obliged to pay five dollars each this morning before his honor. When a colored man has nothing to do, no where to sleep, no money in his pockets, is out at the elbows, and very hungry, then it is un deniable that he is in a bad way ; 4 or any other man," under such circumstances. Such was the condition of George Thomson (not with a "p,") and the police observing his prying eyes ana generally acquisitive appearance, thought it incumbent on them to provide him with a ttUfgptg -heeuing. There was some little idea this morning of giving him an asylum of fortyeight or sixty hours in close quarters, but it was not carried out, and he was first sent to ine provost marsnai to discover it ne was a soldier, and afterwards to Capt.

Persons who occupy a position in the commu mty, or who are desirous of occupying a credit able one should be very careful not to sacrifice their chances eithtr for one or the other and go home to bed, where it wont cost ten dollars, and it is decidedly genteel. The question was mooted this morning wheth er a man had a right in his own house to beat his own wife with his own cudgel; and the mayor decided that he did not think that any man should enjoy any such privilege.

THE CONVENTION. .!- MASS MEETING AT THE TOWN BAIL LASTTSIGHT. Nomination of Wm. Wright and Hanson F. Murphy for Delegates to lhe State Conyentioh, A LOYAL PLATFOR9I. Speeches, Resolution and Good Feeling. Pars nan t to previous notice a laree num ber of the citizens of New Hanover county. assembled is the Town Hall, in this citv. on Tuesday evening, 12th instant. Upon motion, John J. Conoley, Esq., was called to the chair and Wm. M. Poisson. requested to act as secretary. At tbe request of the chairman Mr. T. M. Cook explained the object of tbe meeting to be the, nomination of two candidates to repre sent t'e county of New Hanover, in' the ap proaching State Convention. Upon motion, Messrs. W. u. bmitb, A. M. Waddell aud F. J. Simpson, were appointed a committee to draft resolutions for the action of the meeting. During the absence of tbe committee Jonas P. Levy rose and made a few remarks upon the civil and military government of the town, when, upon the chairman's reminding him that his remarks were foreign to the ob ject of the meeting, he got oa to the right track and said some things to the point. Mr. Horace A. -Bagg next addressed the meeting, and was very enthusiastic and for cible in what he said; he went in for his country, his whole country, and nothing but his country. The committee returned and submitted the following resolutions, which, after some ex planations by its chairman, Mr. A. M. Wad dell, were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we rejoice in the restoration of peace to our recently afflicted land. Resolved, That we pledge xr hearty support to tLe administration of Andre Johnson, President of the United States, whom we be lieve to be a statesman and a i atriot who has the interests of the whole country at heart. . Resolved, That we yield our i hanks to Gov ernor -H olden for his patriotic efforts to rest ore North Carolina to her position as a state of the union, ana we nereoy pieage to mm our neariy co-operation in every measure which will tend to the welfare and interest ot our good old state. Resolved, That above all other perio ts in her history the present is a time when North Caro lina needs ia her councils her wisest and best men. Resolved, That we acknowledge the abolition of slavery as a fixed fact, and hereby request our delegates to the convention to vote for an amendment to the constitution forever abolish ing slavery in North Carolina. After thfl reading of the resolutions pre vious to their adoption, Mr. St Clair express ed very decided union sentiments which amounted however to the point that in alter ing the constitution the convention must bear in mind that it must be altered in strict con formity with President Johnson's expressed views or the state would not be received into the union. Mr. S. D. Wallace made some very appli cable remarks and suggested an amendment which Mr. A. M. Waddell one of the com mittee accepted and annexed as the resolu tion No. 5. Mr. Thomas M. Cook again occupied the floor for a very limited period. He spoke, of the absolute necessity of the convention's re-cindino- the secession ordinance and of acting in the matter of slavery abolition and the suf frage question. Hon. Samuel J. .Person now arose ana say ing that he had not attended with the view of addressing the meeting, but he was compelled to make a few remarks on submitting an ad denda to the ' resolutions offered by the com mittee He called to mind the f tct that loyal as the people of the state were, how they had both in convention and legislature, in private and publie life been strong and en thusiastic supporters of the Confederate gov ernment, Ind be. was opposed to any man who was ashamed to acknowledge what he had done during the war. He concluded by pro posing the following resolution, which, on motion, was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we request our delegates in tbe convention to vote against any proposition to extend tbe right of suffrage to persons of African descent or any proposition to disfran chise for a term of years, or longer, persons who have taken the amnesty oath or received a special pardon from the president. Dr. Hansen F. Murphy and Mr. William A. Wright, were then named as the nominees and unanimously chosen. Dr. Murphy made some few remarks as to the course he should adopt if elected and the meeting adjourned. FR0U MEIIC0. Beauregard at Vera Cruz-Gen. Sheri dan's Army. New Orleans, September 4.

Jackson, Miss., Sept. 5, 1865. Governor Sharkey publishes the following correspondence : It is believed there can be organized in each county a force of citizen militia to pre serve order and enforce the civil authorities of the State, and of the United States, which would enable the federal government to re duce the army, and withdraw, to a great ex tent, the forces from the State, thereby re ducing the enormous expenses of the govern ment. If there was any danger from an organiza tion of the citizens for the puroose indicated, the military are thre to suppress, on the first appearance, any move insurrectionary in its character. One great object is to induce the people to come forward in defence of the State and federal governments General Washing ton declared that the people, or the militia, was the arm of the constitution, or the arm of the United States, and, as soon as it is practicable, the original design of the govern ment should be resumed under the principles of theygreaticharter of freedom handed down to the people by the founder of the republic. The people must be :c wna their govern ment, and if '-'ttted my opinion is that they will act in goou f ith and restore their former constitutional r V":- with all the States composing the Union. The main object of Major General Carl Schurz's mission to the South was to aid,as much as practicable, in carrying out the policy adopted by the gov ernment for restoring the States to their for mer relations with the federal government. It is hoped such aid has been given. The proclamation authorizing the restoration of State government requires the military to aid the Provisional Governor in the performance of his duties as prescribed in the proclama tion, and in no manner to interfere or throw impediments in the way of the consummation of the object of his appointment, at leat with out advising the government o,f the invnded interference. ANDREW JOHNSON. Jackson, Miss., Sept. 5, 1865. The Daily News hoists the name of Aadrew Johnson for next President. General Slocnm's Order. general orders no 22. Hdq'rs, Dep't of Mississippi, ? Vicksburg, Miss., Aug. 24 ie65. The attention of district commanders is call ed to a proclamation ol the Provisional Gov ernor of tne State of Mississippi, of the 19th inst., which provides for the organization of a military force in eucb county, of the State. While the genera! government deems it ne cessary to maintain its authority here by armed forcesylt is important that the powers and duties othe officers commanding should be clearly defined. The State of Mississippi was one of the first that engaged in the recent rebellion. For more than four years all Ler energies have been devoted to a war upon our government kt length, from exhaustion, she has been compelled to lay down her arms ; but no or ders have as yet been received by the military authorities on duty here, indicating that the State has been relieved from the hostile posi tion which she voluntarily assumed towards the United States. The general government, earnestly desiring to restore the State to its position, has ap pointed a Provisional Governor, with power to call , a convention for the accomplishment of that purpose. Upon the military forces devolve the duties of preserving order, and of executing the laws of Congress andthe orders of the War Department. The orders defining the rights and privileges to be secured to freedmen meet with opposition in many parts of the State, and the dutits devolving upon military officers in the execution of these or ders are often of a delicate nature. It has certainly been the desire of the department commander, and, so far as he has observed, of all officers on duty in the State, to execute these orders in a spirit of conciliation and forbearance ; and, while obeying implicitly all instructions of the President and the War Department, to make military rule as little odious as possible to the people. While the military authorities have acted in this spirit, and have been as successful as could have been anticipated, the Provisional Governor has thought proper, without consultation with the department commander, or with, any other officer of the United States on duty here, to organize and sirm a force in every county urging the "young men of the State who have so distinguished themselves for gallantry" to respond promptly to his call, menning thereby that class of men wV-- ''a-jas yet scarcely laid down the as with which they have been opposing our government. Such force, if organized as pr- jv'-5, ia to be independent of the military autbority now pre.-ent, and .superior in strength to the United States forces on duty in the State. I permit the young men, who have so distinguished themselves, to be armed and organized independently of the United States military officers on duty Tiere, and to allow them to operate in counties now garrisoned by colored troops,, failed, as many of these men arej not only with" preju dice against these troops, and against the AvntntiMt rS Vr nrripra lvlativA c fi-PAflinpn but even against our government itself, would " brins: aoout a collision as once, anu increase iu a ten-fold degree the difficulties that now beset the people, .it is J De nopeu mat tne day will soon come:1 when the -young men called upon by Governor Sharkey, and the .4" j colored mennow sirring the United SUtes will zealously co operate for tbe preaerration of order ind the promotion of the interests of the State and nation: It will be 1 gratifying xo the friends of the colored race to bate the assurance in an official proclamation from the Provisional Governor that the day has already arrived when tbe experitnent can 'safeta m attempted. But as tnV quest ions' on; which these two classes will be called id ico-opferato are those with regard to- which there Would undoubtedly be. some (iiffdretvjkof 'opinTon, particularly as to the construction of certain taws relative y &edmeto, the commanding General prefers to postpone tjxe-trjaj for the present t is the earilest desire tdl military officers; as it must be of etiry good cti2rj, to hasten the day when the troops can, with safety, be withdrawn from this State, and the people be left to: execute thcirownlaws ; but this will not be hastened by arming at this time the vounz men of the htate.. The proclamation of the PrpTijSional Uarer nor is based on the supposed necessity ofin creasing the military forces in the State to prevent the commission of crime by bad men. It is a remarkable fact that moat of the out rages have been committed against Northern men, government couriers and colored people. Southern citizens have been halted by these outlaws, but at once released and informed that the v had been stopped by mistake; and these citizens have refused to give information as to the parties by whom, the were .halted, although frankly acknowledging that they knew them. ( . . . Governor Sharkey, in ! a communication written after his call idi the organization of mili tia forces was made, setting forth the ne cessity for such organization, states that the people me unwilling to gireiiinformation to the United States military authorities j which will lead to the detection of these outlaws, and suggests as a remedy, fir these etils the arming of the very people who refuse to give such information. 1 A better plan will be to disarm all such citizens, and make it for their interest to aid those who have been seat here to restore or der and preserve peace , It is ihf .-efore ordered that district coin manders - , : at onoe to all persons within th Jr r -p - ve, districts that no ini.ir tary or iiz c - cept those und&r'the control n tlit "Juited S'ates authorities; will be nen .itt wit'.iin tlreir respective commands, an .hat if any attempt is made to organize after such notice, those engaged in it will bo arrested. Whenever any outrages are com mitted upon either citizens or soldier, the commander of tho post nearest . the point at which the offence was committed will report the fact at once to the district commander, who will'forthwith send as strong force to the locality as can be spared. The officer in oommand of such force will at once aSarm every citizen, within, ten miles of the place where the offence was committed. It any citizen possessing information which would lead to the capture of the outlaws refuses to impart the same, he will be arresfed and held lor trial. The troops will be quartered on his premises, and he will be compelled to pro vide for the support of men and animals. - These villains can be arrested, unless they re ceive encouragement from some portion of tbe community in which they operate; and such communities must be beld responsible for their acts, and must bo made to realize tho inevitable conseq ier.ees of countenancing such outrages.
