lHs STATE CoEvENTIoY.-This body adj
Journed sine die on Friday evening last. after
session of five days We publish in to-day's
paper the most important portions of its pro-
ceedings.
We cannot but express ourselves highly
gratihed at the action Of the conventions. II
will doubtless be said, by the enemies of South.
ern rights, that we have done nothing towards
redresslng our wrongs, and that the State has
receded from her attitude of resistance. So far
Us redressng the wrongs already inflicted, this
charge may, TO some extent be true-but an
important step has been taken towards future
action and a new impulse given to the great
cause of Southern resistance. South Carolina
has gone farther than any other Southern State
in laying down her platform and thus redeemed
herself from the charge of taking bold positions
and then receding from them. But one great
good which has been accomplished, is the
thorough reconciliation Of parties in our State.
The two wings of the resistance party have
como together, and are now prepared 10 work
tremendously and fraternally together, for the
common good Of the State This is a great
step. And the action Of the convention has mt
the finishing stroke to the political death of The
Union party of South Caroline. This party
had only about eight representatives in conven
ton, and never had power amongst us even in
its palmest days--but il il now forever defunct
and will never more be heard Of here-except
az remarkable incident of times gone by.
This death of the Unionists is another great
step.
We regret that time and space will not per.
NIT us TO enlarge upon this subject, in the pre-
seat issue. Suffice it TO say, that, in our ildo.
ment the action Of the convention is wise
patriotic, expedient and the very beat legiss,
ton that could have been adopted under exist.

Plots and Counter Plots.

We understand that certain busy political
plotters and reorganizers have profcssed much
holy horror and vir;uous indignation at the posi-
ton and propositions of the Southern Press in re-
lation to the public printing. These very dainty
and scrupulous gentlemen can pocket their own
per diem and mileage without conjunction and
the most noisy among them, when the compro.
mise was on the tapis, believed Walpoles maxim
that euery man had his price, was very wise
one-yet, when zoe sternly set our faces against
personal and political prescription, and openly
assert our claim to recognition and fair share
ofPublic patronage, these immaculate individuals
raise an outcry, and 60 IN tor coalition, whose
sole cohesive power was that of public plumber.
The same public spirited individuals 1--WE hav.
good reason to beleve) bsffed in their first plot
are connecting new one, by which the Southern
Press-which they hate because they fear-is to
be made the scapegoat of pretended Demo.
cratic reunion. To facilitate this convenient
arrangement they have made Il Jonah of one who
has served them only with too much fidelity,
and for that sacrifcial atonement ask of the
Southern Rights men a similar sacrifice, and
magnanimously propose that their special organ
shall reject half a mess of pottage, on condition
ofgetting The lohole. This arrangement would
be remarkably convenient were it not impracti-
cable. We have our eye on the mannuvre
and the managers, and if necessary shall not
hesitate to expose and Illustrate both, even as
We did with the murdered eoalition-contrary TO
the counsels of over cautious friends, and in de.
spite of the Vaccinations of INSCRIPTIONS and
indefatigable enemies We never have, and we
never shall stoop to secret bargain and intrigue
All that We have done has been done openly
and in the face of all men, But we possess
Powsr-as we have shown to the satisfaction of
the most incredulous-and we intend SO TO em.
Ploy it. as to secure equality of rights principles
and interests for ourselves, and the hundred
thousand voters we represent, from any party
which we and they enter into alliance with. We
would lend our support to no men and to no
party with which our principles did not accord
but neither principle nor interest could prompt
an alliance with party, which even before its
triumph scornfully proscribes, repudiates, and
rejects u.s.. when a practical test of its profes.
sions is presented.

The New York Herald says "If Boston has
felt the blighting effects Of abolition, notification
and treason, New York is beginning, in her turn,
TO reap the same bitter experience from the same
cause and If there is an unusual scarcity Of South
ern merchants at this time at our hotels, we know
at least how to account for it. If this abolition
hue and cry is to continue, we must guess where

view TO show that South Carolina was under no
pledges, express or implied to secede singly from
the Union, or to take any step in resistance to

given in Mr. w. p. Wright's circular for the
Boston steamer, smiling to-day The crop is
likely, from all appearances, to exceed three
million bales. Yet prices go up in all the mar.

increase Of consumption over all preceding years,
has put all ordinary estimates and calculations
at fault, and secured for this mammoth crop

queer kind of scaffold for the masons. 1t is
made out of small poles and bamboos, which
are fastened together by small withes. 1t is
strong and substantial, and less liable to give

serious Fires I'm Constantinople.
30 correspondent of the St. Louis Ii

sen correspondent of the st. Louis In
tsngencer, writing from Constantinople, under
5.te of Aug 11th. says:
..Fire fire fire - We hear but little else
~ in Cunstantirople hut the cry of fire. 1t
,aallv seems sometimes rs though this whole ci-
.. must soon be reduce! to ashes. To give you
M faint idea Of the amount of suffering from
.his evil will briefly recaptulate che dongs of
single week On Wednesday night fire deca-
red itself in the city proper, in quarter called
,be Fruit Bazaar" 1t continued burning for
Eve hours steadily, having consumed at least
three hundred and eighty-four stores and shops
containing fruit, oil, tobacco. SALT &c. &c
Some dwelling houses, also, were burned, and
one guard house and one police Office During
the same night ten houses were burnt at Yemi
Eeui. on the Bosphorus.
On Thursday afternoon fire caught in Pera
the residence of the Europeans. 1t began in
orointer's shop. and could not be subdued until
= had consumed one hundred dwellings and one
hundred and fifty stores and shops. Ono guard
house was also destroyed, and the celebratea
Darvishe's establishment, which every travelled
visits to see the Dervishe's whirl The same
NIGHT we're two other destructive fires at
Scutari where twenty houses were reduced to
smoke and ashes, and the other at Hass Ken,
which continued for five hours, ,,and consumed
about four hundred house and shops.
On Friday single house "a large one) was
burnt in the quarter called Sultan Mehemet.-i
Two other fires broke out on Saturday, in Gala
a but were soon extinguished.
On Monday, Sultan Ahmed, one of the most
beautiful quarters of the capital was visited by
3 most destructive confagration. Four hun
5red large Turkish houses-the residences of
gentlemen of fortune-were consumed within a
few hours Two mosques also became prey to |
the flames.
On Wednesday, to close up the weeks work,
the insasate element seized hold of the Arme-
Man quarter of Psamatia, and did not cease its
ravages until at least eighteen hundred houses
we're destroyed, and four thousand families,
most of them miserably poor, were turned into
the streets.
What you will ask, sis the meaning of all
this ?" l answer that the oldest inhabitants
here say that this is the season for fires All
the largest and most devastating confagrations
that have ever been known in Constantinople
have taken place in August and SEPTEMBER
The reason of this fact is, that the houses are
the driest, and the winds are strongest. The
least spark will kndle into a fame, and when
once fire breaks out, it is difficult to extin-
gushit
There is no doubt that evil minded persons
also avail themselves of these circumstances,
and, for plunder, give themselves to incendiar
ism. Several here, have lately been caught in
,hevery act, and hope viii be punished asI
they desere.

60 coins small plate, and saucepan of silver
had remained in his house till the street was al

position of the skeleton indicated that he had
perished apparently in the act of escaping from
his window. Other instances of like character
are no less striking. The skeletons of Roman
sentries were found. in more than one instance
at their posts, furnishing remarkable proof of
