THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION.

The reports Of the proceedings of this body are
exceedingly vague and thin. We are unable 10
learn much of the nature of its proceedings
There are some bits of its work, which we can
CLEAN. The Convention will reasssemble, in six
weeks after the adjournment of Congress, in
Nashville. This is strange movement for a
Convention, the pretended object of which is the
preservation Of the Union. Adjourn TO meet af-
ter the session of Congress This body is not
content with menacing Congress, but il must as.
semble to revolt after its adj ournment The more
that this scheme unfolds itself, the mor; d,rL !,
its appearance. We were TO have one Southern
Convention, now we are to Lave two. The sal.
vatlon OF the South need be feared for, The an
cient Bntons, when forsaken by the Romans
were invaded b. a barbarous band for the repul
sion OF which the Saxons were invited over. Thi.
race accepted the invitation and came over The
Toe OF Brton was expelled, but the Britons found
IN the Saxon one more deadly still. And If the
South does not find, in this new ally, foe more
deadly than the North, she will be most happy
The Southern Conventionists will not stop will
the assertion of grievances. More than this will
be done Remonstranoe will not empty "the vi
ais OF their WRATH" The terms of adjustment
which they have instituted, were not designed t.
reconcile. Agitation was the design of ,hes,
terms. The study was for scheme, which III,
North would not accept, and this sort Of schem,
has been adopted. The Convention is still il

The tide, swollen by the American invaders,
has fallen back into its original channel. The ru-
mors of second invasion are false. Gen. Lopez
is the sole leader in this daring exploit. And, if
the strongly fortified position of an island be any
check to invasion, Cuba is now safe, safe beyond
assault. The American vessels are there, and for
the purpose Incorporating with Cuban authori-

TO THE PEOPLE OF LYNCHBURG.

In previous number, we suggested 10 the peo-
pie of LyLcbburg, the propriety OF making pub
lie expression Of their opinion upon the pending
Compromise Report. Since then. by letter. re-
Gently written, from very reliable correspon-
dent, "a citizen of Lynchburg.) we are informed
that combination is being formed to defeat the
Compromise, especially if should come 10 the
Lower House. The sentiment Of Virginia will
have great weight in that body, and efforts are
now being made to misrepresent the opinion OF
Virginia. We learn that il is generally believed
that our Congressional District is not friendly 10
the Compromise scheme. Now, this is not strict
ly true. The District favors the Compromises
II is light that the correction be made, and the
people themselves should make it. We, there
fore, appeal to them TO assemble in their primary
bodies and make expression of their feelings. We
sugges, to the people of Lynchburg, irrespective
of party, the propriety of holding public meet
ing at an early day. for the purpose Of making ex-
preston of their opinion. And recommend TO
the other portions of the District to Ego and do
likewise"

ances Immediately after one of Col. Benton's
speeches. intimate that something has been done,
but this is its only effect.
He is a strange compound. lie has wisdom,
and IFS accompaniment, ambition. lie has Inc
industry with which to acquire knowledge, and
that wisdom which enables him 10 appreciate il;
hence it is that he is learned man. But he has
not that GOODNESS OF temperature, and that moder-
alton of prudence, which teach the right course
and make him polite in its pursuit. lie Is a
re alot, and this feature in his character counter
acts all his good qualities. Probably no man has

universal displeasure. Withal he is demagogue
yet strange as il is he is selfish in all of his acts
lie loves the applause Of the people, yet SO fond
IS he OF self, that he often fails to reach it.
Just at this time he is the peculiar guardian Of
California. lie nurses her with the tenderness
of q mother. He is the vindicator of her rights
and the champion Of her interests. Although 1t
would be injustice to say that he has not been de-
voted in his adherence to the cause of California,
it would not strictly accord with truth 10 say that
he has done her service. California is suffering
from the advocacy of such a man. Yet, the
strangest feature of the whole is, that he should
be so jealous for the cause of California He has
no greater interest in that State than other Sena-
tors, yet one would suppose that his is a Cali.

like it moderated by prudence; we admire the
faithful advocate, but we like men who sustain
their own, and are not the gratuitous advocates
OF other peoples rights.

THE CANAL.-By reference to another col
umn, It will be seen that the water is to be taken
from the Canal, commencing on the Goth inst
The drawing of the water will, of course, obstruct
the travel upon the canal during its continuance,
so that goods cannot be shipped from this place
eastward in the direction of Richmond mol
can goods from Richmond reach this place.
There is, however, line of Stage Coaches, con-
Meeting this place with the Northern cities, by
way OF Charlottesville. There is. also another line
going by way of Farmville TO Richmond. These
routes afford facilities to travellers, and henc e
passengers for the North, who desire it, can
touch at Lynchburg and Immediately proceed TO
their destination.
