Late continental papers state that one OF the
principal coachmakers OF Paris has received nr
order FROM the Egyptian government to build
fifty diligence omnibuses, for the conveyance Of
passengers across the desert.
Only think of that--onnibussing it over the
desert--the poetry of the travel viii be de-
stroyed in the same ratio AS its comforts will bt
increased, and " the desert ship" the dromedary
will be compelled to carry viler freight than en-
terprising tourists, when those diligence omni

r3Y- We find in the Federal Union, Of Mil
lidgevle, Ga, the following condensed account
of the proceedings of the convention which mel
there, the day after the adjournment OF the
Southern rights convention.
They reaifirmed the resolutions Of the De-
cember State convention and nominated Mr.
CoBB as their candidate for governor.
The UNION " CoNsoLID ALTON" CONVENTION
This body assembled yesterday in the hall OF
the house of representatives. For the purpose
of organization, Gen. Sanford of this city, was
called to the chair, and VIM. Steele and b. L.
Beth me, esqrs, appointed secretaries. On the
call Of the counties, 1853 delegates from 50
counties answered to their names. Judge Floyd
of Newton, was then by reclamation made
president.
On motion of Col. Toombs, a committee OF
three from each judicial district, was appointed
to report business for the convention.
The chair having appointed the committee,
the convention took recess till o'clock, p. m.
The convention re-assembled at the appoin-
ted hour when Mr.. Toombs submitted the re-
port of the committee. That report contained
two resolutions The lat reaffirmng the
Georgia platform Of December, and the Cd de-
claring that the action of the convention of last
week was injudicious, having n tendency to in
vte further aggression upon the part OF the
North Mr.. Toombs, after submitting his re-
port, made speech about matters and things in
general, and himself in particular, as inappro-
pirate to the report as its matter and manner
was exceptionablc. The report was then adop-
ted unanimously.
1t was then moved to proceed to nominate a
candidate for governor, by ballot This &C.
casoned some Autterng, indicating that ballot
would tell tales, that the wireworkers wished
concealed (Out of doors it was said serious
opposition existed to Mr.. Cobb) Finally, Gen.
Wofford, the erpectant Of Mr.. Cobbs seat in
Congress, moved the nomination of that gentle
man by reclamation. The vote was then taken
and passed as far as we learned, with but one
expressed no.
The proceedings in full, We will lay before
our readers next week.

The notorious editor of the Tribune seems
bent on playing. in En- land, the same part as
that performed by GEORGE Thompson on thib
aide of the water. Like that foreign hireling,
he joins runaway negroes in reviling his coun-
try and the character Of its people. He thus
records his own shame in one of his letters,
where, after stating that he attended, also, the
annual meeting of the British and Foreign Anti
slavery society, where among the speakers were
two or three colored persons from tho United
States goes on to say:
Isuggested aud briefly urged on British Ado
htionists the )olloaoiug course of action
!. Energetic and systematic exertions to in
crease the reward Of labor, and the comfort and
consideration of the depressed laborng class
at home; and to dffuse and cherish respect for
man as man, without regard to lass, color, or
vocation.
2. Determined efforts for the eradication of
those social evils and miseries here, which are
appealed TO and relied on by shareholders and
their champions everywhere as justifying the
continuance of slavery; and
g. The colonization of the slave States by
thousands of intelligent, moral, industrious, free
laborers, who will silently and practically dispel
the widespread delusion which affirms that the
Southern States must be cultivated and their
great staples produced by slave labor, or not
ut all
think did not speak more than fifteen min
utes, and was heard patiently to the end but
nv remarks were received with no such thun-
ders of applause" as had been accorded to the
more polite efforts of the colored gentlemen.
There was in fact repeatedly evinced prevalent
apprehension that wouM say something which
il would be incumbent on the audience to resent;
bui / did not. And | have a faint hope that
some of the remarks thus called forth will be
remembered and reflected on. ! am sure there
is great need of it.

North CARoLINA.-The Lincoln Coar

North CARoLINA.-Tbe Lincoln Courier
says:
Messrs CLINGMAK AND GAITHER.--The con-
test between these two candidates in the neigh
boring district, is quite animated. They spoke
in Rutherfordton last week, in Shelby this week.
Several of our citizens turned out to hear them
at the latter place, and all, both friends and
foes, concur in sayirg that Mr.. Gather is no
match for Mr. Clngman on the stump. If we
add to this, that the former has bad cause to
carry, his chance for election is very slim. We
learn, that at least four-ifths of the voters of
Cieaveland county will sustain Mr.. Clingman.

"WAR IN THE CAMP."--Under the above cap
ton, our neighbor of the North Carolina Argus
says: II is reported in our streets to-day, that
some of the people in one of the districts Of
South Carolina propose TO annex themselves to
our State, in case their State secedes."
This" says the Argus, sis ns it should be,
for if State has n right to secede from the
general government, why not let county or
district use the same privilege and secede from
a Stater'
Without answering his question, we will only
say to our brother that he is welcome to those
who propose TO annex themselves to his State.
South Carolina has no use for such citizens,
either in peace or war She has true sons
enough to carry her triumphanty through any
peril she may be placed in while asserting and
mainta ming her rights. There have been in.
stances in which citizens have left their coun-
try for their countrys good" and the sooner
these "people" emigrate, the better for South
