on Tuesday resolutions declaring the right
of every person to registry upon 'production

intimidation or threats to hinder or prevent
such registrat or!. Thec hief'of the bureau

A SOATIERLD CONVOY.
The. towing steamer William Allison,
Captain T. iNickersdn, left Locust Point
at 5 o'clock Tuesday evening, with nineteen
canal barges, eleven loaded with coal, &c,
and the others light, 1'ov Chesapeake City,
Cecil county, Md., and .vas forced to take
refuge with the tow ia North Point creek,
where anchorage .wrs' made. The bloAV
was so heavy that the steamer dragged
both anchors, and soma of the barges broke
loose. The steamer was finally forced to
cut loose the other barges to save herself.
Several of the abandoned canal. boats -were
sunk and the remainder 'were driven ashore.
The steamer had to con e out of the creek
and headed up toward the city with the
wind. When the stofni abated the steamer
started agajn for North Point creek to
look after the br.rges. No lives were lost
among the crews, so far as reported, to
Captain Nickerseii.

Hon. A. II. II. Stuart on the Currency.
Hon. AH. H. Stuart, of Stannton,Va..
in reply to a request to givefjiis views on
the currency question, writeis a letter, in
which hejsays :
"We are ufl'ering every day from the
discredit -that has been brought upon our
State by her refusal to meet her just obli
gations... If to tnis we aow add the evils
"of dishonest and degraded currency no man
can foretell the evils' which must ensue.
The people qannot have forgotten their ex
perience in regard to Confederate money.
Do they want to repeat their experiment in
that kind of currency ? I fancy not. But
if they do then let them give countenance
to the greenback fallttey, and flood the
country with the note; of irresponsible
State banks which will not pass fifty miles
from their place of issue Bad as the Con
federate money vas. the Confederate Con
gress, even under the' pressure of a great
civil War7 never dared to make Confederate
notes a legal-tender. Nobody vas com
pelled to receive them unless he chose to
do so. But the avowed purpose of the
greenback party is not only to dilute the
currency until its real value will not be
more than twenty or twenty-five, cents in
the dollar, but also to compel everybody
to receive it as if it were worth a dollar.
The injustice of this must be obvious to
every one. It Is repudiation disguised un
der a very flimsy veil A debased and
fluctuating currency may suit the purposes
of insolvent defedors, or brokers, shavers
and others who, deal in money and make
large profits by their traffic, hut it will
not suit stead--going farmers, and . real
men of bnsines and the laboring man.
When the farmer sells his wheat or corn,
or the laboring man does his day's work,
he wants the price of his graiu prthe wages
of his labor injgold or siiver dollars, or in
notes which he can. at his . pleasure, con
vert into gold and silver dollars."-

If all the Democrats in the Indiana Leg
islature vote for Mr. Yocrhees he will still
need two votes to elect Urn, and these he
expects to get from the "Nationals. .These
number fourteen, and eitht of "these were
formerly Republicans and "six Democrats.
The fourteen pretend, it !s said, to a deter

own, and if they should happen to stand
firmly united it is clear that Mr. Yoor

: T IV E PARTY OF NORTH CARO
LINA. "
The State Executive Committee congratu
lates the Democratic -Conservative party of
North Carolina upon the result of the recent
Congressional elections at the North. These
elections clearly indicate three things which
are of consequence to us : First, that the peo
ple of this country are dissatisfied with the
Kepublican party and . are unwilling for the
Republican hiaders"to alllict us longer with
their ruinous measures and fraudulent prac
tices. Second, that the Nationals do not meet
with popular favor, and, as a separate or?ani
zation, have utterly failed to impress them
selves upon the country ; and lastly, that the
star of the Democratic party is still iu the
ascendant, aud the people are looking to tht
party as the only one capable of restoring
prosperity to ,he country, and able to admin
ister the government on those Constitutional
and just principles, which ar essential alike
to the happiness of our citizens and to the
perpetuity of our institutions. Thus in the
elections held in eight States the Republicans
have lost twelve members of Congress ; the
Nationals have elected four; land the Demo
crats have- elected twenty-three, and have
gained seven. j
These facte demonstrate thait the people in
tend to invest tht; Democratic! party with the
full control 01 the National Government. Hie
Senate, of the next Congress wuT be Democratic
by a considerable majority, j and it is only
necessary for the Democrats of the South to
remain steadfast in their allegiance to our or
ganization, and our triumph w ill be complete.
It is lor us to determine whether the. banner
on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home
Rule and Financial Reform, ehali tra.l in the
dust, or shall oe borne on to victorv.
Every con-ideration of Interest, ol policy
and of patriotism then u-jjes us to prepare
inrmesiately lor the approaehing joIitical
struggle.
Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without
preparation, it will be impossible to achieve
succ ess.
JLet us rot by our apathy, our luke warm
ness and indiiference postpone the accession
to power of that party which alone has been
able tp check Republican corruption and to
arrest the prc-ress of oer government towards
a centralized, clespotism. -
Let us be e read fast in our devotion to prin
ciple, true to our organization and endeavor
by every means to discountenance those inde
pendents and disorganize who oppose our
wor'hy standard-bearers freely and fairly
chosen by the Democratic party in Convention
assembled.
In particular do M"e desire to repeat what
we have so often urged the necessity of
thorongh local organization. It Is the town
sh'p committees who are charged with the
most important of all party duties. To them
is committed the duty of supervisiiiffthe
i election, and of devising means to bring out
every Democratic voter to the polls. They
ought to meet frequently and advise and take
counsel together bow best to promote the for
tunes of that party, on whose success depends
so largely the prosperity of themselves and of
their posterity. In every township, ia every
neighborhood, there Ought tp be appointed a
committee fit active, efficient, - and prudent
party men,, who will undertake to see that
every Democrat iu the precinct comes to the
polls and casts his ballot for our noailneee.
We therefore urge this upon the township
committees; and if in any township it is ne
glected, we appeal to our Democratic friends

The Socth-Atlastic has this merit over
any of its predecessors ia the same arena, Lkat
Its contents are solid, though not heavy, and
that no room appears to have been Intended in
it for productions of a trashy and frivolous
character. While it continues to adhere to
this rule, it will have every Claim on Southern
and general support, and we sincerely trust
it will receive it.
