(First Condition.)
Two hours after A overlook the geese at the
both milestone, he met the wagon coming in the
opposite direction. As A travelled at the rate
of y miles per hour, his position after those
two hours was at the distance 80 - IS - 80.
Il being always % miles behind A was, at the

The SOUTHERN R1GHrs CoNvnNT1oN. |
CHARLES TON, May s, 10 p. NJ
Nothing definite TRANSFERRED in the Con-
vention to-day. The committee report
ed an address and resolutions, which |
were ordered to be printed and will be
to morrow. During the
session to-day several stormy resolu-
tons were offered, favoring immediate
separate State action. Referred.
A letter was read from Lanedon
Cheves, rcgrettlng his inability TO attend !
the deliberations Of the Convention, and |,
deprccating separate State action. He
advised torbcarance and Cancellation, |
and expressed the opinion that the main
of the South was on the .
Democracy OF the country, and that the ,
question had better be settled at the !
ballot box. The letter was laid on the /
table and ordered to be printed.
The resolutions and addresses submit
ted by the committee are to the effect
that South Carolina cannot submit to
her wrongs without dishonor and ruin,
and that it necessary she should relieve
herself whether other States Joined her
or not.
CHARLESTON, May THE pro-
ceedings ofthc Southern Rights Con-
vention, yesterday, justify the beliefthat
a very large majority of the members
are determined upon separate State &C
ton. Judge Butler and Hon. Langdon
Cheves have in vain endeavored to stay
the current. Their moderate counsels
are entirely disregarded, and Mr. Rhett
is evidently the master spirit. His res
olutions, recommending the secession of
South Carolina, solitary and alone, were
received with tremendous applause.
The most intense excitement prevails
throughout the city. To day will de-
eide the fate of our State.
