Charlottesville Convention.

We lay before our readers, this week,
the proceedings of the la'e Convention
at Charlottesville, as reported for the
Richmond Daily Despatch. The doings
of the body are more faithfully reported
than the sayings Of its members. There
is good deal Of "higgledy-pigslety' in
the lat,er-an idea caught, now and then,
and thrown out as dressed BY the reporter,
rather than the speaker. Congressman
often complain Of suffering in the hands
Of the reporters, and it seems they are not
alone. We cordially sympathlze with
them, having made what some at least
considered an Interesting speech in Con-
vention-and how it reads in PRINT
But allowance must be made. The Re.
porter was not Temperance man, and
although spirit might have entered into
him, he did not enter into The spirit oil the
occasion. We commend the resolutions,
and plan Of operation, TO the special al
tention of our readers.

SIaCkHater Meeting.

Our friends in Fayette and Greene, Pa,
had quite spirited Slackwater meeting at
Greensboro on Saturday last. the pro-
ceedings of which will be found in ano-
ther column. I, is shrewdly suspected,
all along shore, that the operations OF The
Company below will need stimulating all
the time, and the motto of the meeting
at Greensboro is our motto, THE Slack
uaier completed or dOpn nth the dams"
For one, we shall be most agreeably dis
appointed il the Company now proceed
10 the long promised survey Of the river,
and location of The dams 10 the State line,
without further delay. II is useless 10
wait any longer for the "June freshet."
