A THRILLING iNCiDEYT.-A Fhhsr unuiHiny-
ty saring Its RE IF has ocn cttd-A few wears
ago as lie Rev. Joseph Davis, an excellent Baptist
minister in London, was walking along one Of
the crowded streets OF that city, his attention
was arrested by the circumstance that a carriare
with several horses was just abont TO pass ever
4 little GIL who was slowly crossing the road.
He strongly felt the danger Of the child, and for
getting his own, he ran, snatched h=r in his arms
and fastened with her TO he side path, when the
thought struck him-what would the parents Of
this dear child have felt, had she been killed!
At this moment he looked in the face of the
little girl, which had been concealed from his
view by her bonnet; and, imagine if you can.
what hi, feelings were when he discovered it
was his own daughter. | saw him about half an
hour after the occurrence and shall never for

Nashville Convention.

This body adjourned on the 18th instant,
to meet again in The Same place, Blk weeks
after the adjournment Of tho present Com
gress. We give below, the resoIntions
which were passed. An address TO the
South, and to the whole country, was adop-
too, but il has not yet reached u.s. III.
We decidedly approve of tho resolutions :
they are such as they ought to be, firm, dig
nifcd and conciliatory. Without under
taking to say what the South will do in the
event of the passage of the WiImot Proyiso
as applicable to all the territories, they yet
indicate disunion as tho probable result OF
tho adoption Of that measure. Admitting
their willingness TO ucquiesce in the line OF
the Missouri compromise cas- an extreme
concession they declare that tho South
cannot submit TO the application of the Will
mot Proviso to territory South of that line,
and that if disunion follows such application,
those who make it are tho disunionists-
Such is our understanding Of the resolutions.
and as such we approve Of them. There
was time when we locked upon the union
of these Sntes with sentiments Of the fond
est attachment. Indeed we do so now, and
nothing except the loss of our honor, would
give us more anguish Of heart than the
breaking up Of this once glorious confedera-
cy. But, if TO remain in the Union, we
must submit to every species OF degradation
and insult; to be declared unworthy of the
protection of the laws, and, because wo are
Shareholders, to have forfeited our right to
the national territory, we Ind better separate.
We could not consistently with honor, re-
main in partnership, where we are to be
treated us interiors, rs outlaws and as un-
worry Of membership.

The rice fields along the band OF the

Fort VALLEY, Houston Co, June s.
The crops are dying in this section Of
the State, owing to the cold weather we
have had for some time. The present
growing crop promises TO be shorter than
| that of last year.
THE WEATHER AND THE CRors.-The
weather is very hot and dry and the crops
what little there are, need rain very much.
We hear gloomy news from nearly every
farmer with whom we converse. In some
places, the worm destroys the corn-in
others, the insects are destroying the cot.
ton. Even where the crops prosper. they
are late. The prospects Of a cotton crop is
exceedingly discourageing throughout this
region. From every portion of the cotton
growing country, the news is of yerS
gloomy charactcr.-Indepcnden,, Aber-,

not remember to have known n Sprinr in

the Cotton growing region, were so unlavo-

| Spring, and TO the cool nights which have
continued up To the time we write. That
these causes, owing 10 the comparative late
ness OF our season for planting, have no,
operated so unfavorably in this State as in
those farther South, we have no doubt. but
that they have done much injury even with
us--rctarding the growth of the plant and
stunting tive learn from all we have seen
and from all We have heard. We think

On the first Of this month, tho rcccipts for

1919, we may iairly put it down as at least
100000 bales less than TINT of 1918. Now
putting down the crop of the present year

reason to conclude that i, will be less, we

not less than 100000 bales and To what
extent this deficiency is TO affect the price of

readers.
For our port, we have little question but
that it will affect it most seriously, and that

brings intelligence Of gradual rise in tho

ESeOmaSc.

Much discussion has arisen in Congress
in relation TO form Of slavery in New
Mexico which bears the above appcllation.
The members OF the Senate who have en-
planned its character differ in their eluci.
daton of its real nature and origin. They
all agree, however, in this fact, that il is a
form Of slavery as grIevons in its conse-
quences as any which attach 10 domestic
scrvitude. BY the local law Of New Mex
leo, Peon Is debtor who is compelled to
redeem his pecuniary engagements by per-
sonal service to his creditor, which obliga-
ton attaches TO him forever. If the ne.
cesslties of the laborcr compel him to pro-
cure an advance of wages from his EN-
ployer, or credit for indispensable articles
OF consumption, this is lien on his labor
that keeps him invariably in debt, and con-
stantly slave. The native Indians com.
pose in New Mexico the laboring class. /,
Is practical contradiction TO contend for
the sacredncss of the Mexican Ter loci,
which would exclude domestic slavery
whilst this form OF servitudc exists. 1;
was consistent, therefore, in those Senators
who arc opposed to slavery in all its shapes
and gradations in the Territories of the
United States, to move so to amend the
Bill OF Compromise as to exclude Pconage
from New Mexico, in conformity with their
doctrine that slavery was there legally in
tcrdicted. Mr.. Walker, one Of the WIS.
consin Senators, accordingly acted theo-
retical correct in moving his amendment
to exclude Peonage from New Mexico.
But it was contended by other Free Soil
Senators that Peonage was in the nature
OF contract, and that Congress was for
hidden by the Constitution TO lcgislatc on
contracts. Mr.. Dayton, of New Jersey,
strongly urged this view, and the amend
ment was lost. But we would ask this
class of Free Sellers, who insist on the sa-
crcdness OF contract, whether Peonage
stands in more sacred relation TO con-
tracts than slavery and il the Constitu.
iion ls to control in one case, why not in
the other! Those who voted against MIR.
Walkers amendment did so because the
constitution gives sanctity to contracts
Werc this not the case, they admit the
power OF Congress 10 legislate on the sub.
Ject of Pconage. But the Southern Son.
ators are resisted when they claim the
benefit Of the Constitution in favor of sla.
very IN the very Same territory of New
Mexico. The Constitution is the ureat
land mark in tho one case, but not in the
other; II governs in the Interpretation OF
local laws IN Mexico Of ono kind, but il is
not suffered TO override tho local law, in
The same locality, of another kind. Peon.
age Is under the protection of the C0nstitu-
tion' but slavery isnot, in the conquered ter
ritory. They are both forms Of servi,ude.
but Northern ingenuity finds defence for
the former, because contracts arc involved
which grow out of the rights of property in
human heings--but there is no pro,ertion
for the latter, on precisely The same found.
alton of right, because Il is rot Indian but
Negro slavery. So much for Free Soil
equality.-Erc. Meas,
