among Northern Representatives Of the justice of
Southern claims" What this is worth We have
already limited at.
The Fayetteville Observer cf Feb 5th, says:
ave take this occasion to say, very emphatical-
w. that we have no faith in, nor sympathy with Mr.
Clngman's views ofthe immense prosperity which
is to result to the South from disunion. On the
contrary, zee shouM regard ii Jefrctrd (aohich God
jorbid :! as the parent Gf 1coes unnum6ered and in
numer0ble."
And this Southern paper-all who have read
the Speech of Mr.. Ciingman, can but subscribe to
the Justice of his views. What gain we by having
attached to us company Of paupers whose sole
business is to rob our pockets and then revlle us.
The Southern Convention is now our Ark ofsafe-
ty. Let the Northern ruse, now being attempted
to be played off on us by pretended concession
on the part of the Norl-to give us justice until
the Convention is over, and then to redouble their
aggresson-be successful, ard we are the vassals
of the North. Let the watchword Of Butler find
home in every Southern mouth-and let the few
patry souls afraid for the South to assert her rights
in Convention assembled, be marked with the
brand of Treason-the Tories of 1850.

THE, PANORAMA.

We are back from the voyage, and must write
the pleasures Of the trip. The Panorama now
being exhibited at the Female Academy, is both a
splendid specimen of art and representation OF
the beautiful and sublime in nature. The scenes
on the Hudson, naturally sublime and completely
interesting, are rendered more so by the associa-
tons connected with them. The spot where An
dre landed calls up the memory ofthe hero-traitor'
and of the noble youth who should have lost
his life in nobler cause The Pallsadoes'
where the lofty colonades Of thousand ruined
cities seem planted, West Point, the excellence
of which institution the glorious battle-helds OF
Mexico tell, the Catskill Mountains, whose dizzy
SUBMITS seem to hide themselves i'll the storm
clouds bosom, and the city of Albany, are all de-
deneated in mastery and pleasing manner
Then we come to the Old Dominion, and Harpers
Ferry, where natures widest mag nificcnce has
her throne, burts upon our view, and seem to rise
"The palaces of Nature whose vast walls
Have pnnnelcd in clouds their snowy scalps
All that expands the spirit or appals,
Gather around their submits, as toshow,
How Earth may pierce tos Heaven, yet e'Ve vain man
below" -. .
The Natural BrGge affords display 100 eraiiu W
be written about. Here occurred all incident thrill
ling interest Washington, in his boyhood days
had strayed hither, and as indicative of his fate,
he carved his name on the arch under the BRIDGE
far above all the other names youth whose
ambition was greater, but destiny less carved his
name above that of Vernon's chief In the soft
sandstone he cut steps with his knife and kept
advancing upward, soon too high to return. His
only chance was to cut his way up. Many, many
feet he advanced-but his knife was now worn to
the hilt-the dizzy distance below-the bridge d.
rectly above. Many had gathered on its summit
a rope was lowered down, and providentlally a
breeze blew it under-the youth seized it, and was
drawn up. He should have been great. The
moving closes with the scene at the crossing OF
James River, at Richmond. To pass it just as
sunlight tips the housetops, and gters on the rlv-
er, is beautiful in the extreme. But 60, one and
all, and see it for yourselves.

THE TELEGRAPH

Don't work to suit U.s. There has been lack
of speed someaohere or somehow lately which we
can't exactly understand. We are not thoroughly
acquainted with the modus operandi of this truly
wonderful arrangement yet we think we Know
enough of electricity thus employed, to expect
message started from Camden for Charleston az
six o'clock on the evening of the 18th inst, ough,
to be answered Somewhere within forty-eight hours.
In the case referred to, gentleman assured us he
had telegraphed to Charleston OH the 18th inst.,
and up to IL O'Clock on the I4tll, he had received
no answer although anxiously expecting one The
gentleman to whom he addressed the message, is a
business man, alcays al his posi-, and never hard to
find from the reputation he bears, being in stua-
ton that requires him always to be on hand. An
other gentleman telegraphed on the morning of the
l3th but met with the same success. At a later
hour on the 14th, however, the first gentleman
received an answer to his despatch, making the
run something within the schedule time of forty
eight hours.
In making these charges against the Telegraph,
we are aware that we may be answered in many
ways; first that our instances are isolated ones, and
that various causes may be assigned for delay
Wegrant it. But it is singular that the messages
intended for the Journal lays long in get
ting here. The arrangement with our correspond
ent in Charleston is, to send his despatch from
Charleston on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10 o'clock,
a. m We receive it here from fire to seren hours
afterwards. Frequently we are at press when the
message comes. Could we rely with certainty upon
getting the message in five hours-say by o'clock
we could get along very well; although an hour
sooner wouldn't hurt the Telegraph much, but
would benefit us. We don't locate the fault. Not
knowing, we therefore cannot say where it lies.
We hope twill be remedied, and that speedily

1t is strange-passing strange, that men should
be so easily deceived as TO think that the late vote
on Roofs resolution was in any way indicative of
the intention ofthe North to do us justice 1tisbut
the feint retreat Of the enemy TO lure us into pur
suit which will lead us from our strong hold, and
then turn upon lis unsheltered. The bold front
offered by the South, relative to the approaching
Southern Convention. has thrown them upon the
necessity of another stratagesn. They would now,
until after the Nashville Convention, perhaps, show
every disposition to do the South justice, in order
to weaken the effect of that Convcntion-and then
succeeding in their ruse would be as band of
myrndons let loose. Mr.. Meade, Of Virginia, has
expressed himself coldly relative 10 the Conven-
ton-and his first proposition is, that "the South
ern States, having already suffered wrong, should
not now resent" Wevery much mistake the spir-
it of the Old Diminion, if that doctrine finds favor
with her people. His End reason is that the vote
on Roots Resolution indicates growing sense

GREAT CorroN SpECULArIoN.-lt is stated
that greater speculation is at this time raging
in cotton than has been known since the great
specializing year of 1925. The New Workers,
in particular, have the fever in its most violent
FORM The article has risen, in that market, two
cents per pound during the past two weeks, and
at the rate ola quarter of cent per pound, each
week, for the last sixteen weeks. 1t is now just
one hundred per cent. higher than it was year
ago. The sales of the last fortnight in New
York have been 1895 bales; being the largest
business in that market for any fortnight on re.
cord. The sales are chiefly to spectators who
become excited and continually bid up the mar.
ket against each other. For the present. foreign
orders for cotton have ceased; the New York
price being several cents in advance of the Liv.
erpool market On the strength of this circum.
stance, the Hartford Times states that several
Boston spectators have sent out an order to
purchase 25,O00 bales in England; and there is
also rumor that combination was forming in
New York to despatch an agent with funds, and
sweep the Liverpool market clean of the article.

The Nashville Contention.

aZ&
Last Monday was the day SET npart for
the meeting OF the delegitest to the Nash
vile Convention. We question whether
the delegates organized themselves as a
Southern Convention. If they did, they
ASSUMED power not conferred upon them
by the people Of the slaveholding States.
In Mississippi, where the movement os-
tellsibly originated, only Mirty-one, ont of
the Wy-ainc counties in the State, sent
delegates to the October Convention, which
appointed Delegates to the Nashville Con-
v~ention. The people took little or no III
terest III the matter. And the last legisla-
tjire Of that State oversiaugled the action
of the people by appointing legislative del
egatss. This was the finishing stroke to
the unpopu'arity Of the measure with u
great portion of the people Of Mississippi.
Tennessee has emplIatically repudiated the
measure, althougha few delegates appoint
ed by small county meetings may be pre-
sent. The same may be said of Florida
aud Virginia. The delegates from those
States, (f any were presently will not be
authorized to speak for the people. In
Georgia and Texas the forms Of an cleo
ton were gone through Without only
tile forMS-not one-ffteenth part of the
people voting, or appearing to care any
thing at all about the matter. In South
Carolina the people, in obedience to leyis-
lative recommendation, voted pretty gener-
ally, and the delegates thus elected will
probably speak the sentiments Of a major
ity of the people of that State. Delegates
were appointed in several of the Congress
sional districts of North Carolina, but late
intelligence from that State leads lis to
doubt whether any Of them will attend.
No delegates have been appointed, i'll any
mode, by the people. of Delaware, Mary
land, Kentucky Or Missouri, thatw we have
heard of-and we1have yet to learn Of any
general movement to that end in Arkansas.
Alabama will be partially represented, and
Louisiana, the richest Planting State in
the South, possessing as deep an interest
i'll the preservation of every constitutional
right of the South, has utterly refused to
have, in amy way, lot OF part in the matter.
From the above it will be seen that the
Nashville Convention will be i'll no wise a
convention Of the Southern States, or in
any manner authorized to speak for the
Southern people. If guided by wise and
prudent counsels, it may be productive of
good; but for harm it will be powerless.
We are very anxious, nevertheless, to
hear of the doings of the Convention, and
were the telegraph in working order, would
certainly lay them before our readers in a
condensed form.

understand that the principal object OF the
Convention was to frame q constitution for
the government of the Order in the state,

ity. We were pleased to be informed that

Letter from Mr. Calhoun.

In another part Of this paper we give
a letter from Mr.. Calhoun, aspon the sub
iect ofa Southern Convention, dated ] unc
9, 1919. The letter was addressed to
Col. G. s. Tarp'ey, OF Kinds county
Mississippi, who, it appears, had written
TO Mr.. Calhoun, asking his advice and
council. The letter will command pubic
attention in many respects, not only from
the exalted position and influence Of its
| author at the time it was Written, but as
developing the redR nigtosa Of the NASH
vile Convention movement.
It has been charged BY the Union press
in various portions of the country that this
movement did not 0yigiuute in Mississippi
where the first proceedings recommending
a Southern Convention were had, and that
the whole pan was arrail9nd and dlgested
by Mr.. Calhoun and his 4coad lutofs III
! South Carolina, who intended SO to indame
the minds of the Southern people upon
Tho subject of Northern aggresslons, taat
| by the time the Convention was to assem-
bio, it was hoped that the people would
be sufficiently excited TO ratlty any action
taken by the Convention, even i. it proceed
ed so far as 10 recommend q dissolution OF
| the Union, aud the formation of a Southern
confcderacy. These charges of the Union
press were met with n prompt denial, III all
quarters, from the friends of The Nashville
| Convention, and it was confidently assert
| I'D that neither Mr.. Calhoun, or any of his
| South Caro'iana friends, had anything to
do with the matter. :
We think this letter proves, beyond
question, that the Missi ;sipyi movement
in favor Of a Southern Convention was
warmly seconded by Mr.. Caihoun-that
he advised and consented to it-and that,
even if it did not originate i'll the brain OF
the great nutliiier, it was looked upon, by
his pcrniar trends, with as mIcl 1aVof as
If il had been his own proper baltln
NIlth the remark that, stripped OF its
slight veil ofsophistry, It'll about as strong
a disunion document as the most rahid
lisunionist in the land would require under
any circumstances and further, that those
Nashville Convention presses in Louisiana
and Mississippi who have SO vociferousIy
maintained that Mr. 9 Calhoun had nothing
to do with the matter, will find it extreme
" difficult to get over his Words about
"diSSoIring the partnership and main
tain the consistency Of their statements,
We submit tile letter to our readers and the
public.

State of the Rivers.

The river, at this point, is on a stand.
BY late alvices from above, we learn that
there had been a fall Of some eight feet in
the Ohio. The river had fallen two inches
at Natchez, between Saturday and Monday
evenings last. Dates from St. Louis up to
the 3Oth, inform lis that the Missouri River
was reported low. The Mississippi, same
date, was reported to have fallen consider
ably at Cairo and at Memphis, and was
subsiding rapidly as far down as the mouth
of the Arkansas. Up to our latest intelli-
gence sthe river at Vicksburg was on a
stand. . If the reports of the falling condl-
ton of the upper rivers are true, we must
soon experience the beneficial effects down
here. Red River was reported to be fall
ing at the rate Of three inches in twenty
four hours, according to our latest informa-
alton. ..
