Of wild aud picturesque scenery which is one Of the boasts
Of the Old Dominion; and the toll aud Inconvenience Of

OF the most sublime scenery in country. If were

The Savannah Convention.

From the imperiecty reported proceedings of this Con
vention thus far anticipate but little from it in the
way OF what is practical and useful We had hoped
different and more gratifying result The Convention
seems to have commenced wrong, and has been getting
each succeeding day. At the very outset it put
bag OF wind ia the chair to preside its delbca
tons, and, natural consequence, there has been no.
thing but wind ever since.
Instead Of Immediately applying themselves the task
OF dev'sing some comprehensive and practical scheme for
the development othc commercial and establish
men OF the commercial independence Of the South they
launched forth into idle aud ridiculous discussion up
the revival of the slave trade and We see that even
some OF the Virginia delegates participated in this scene
of supreme and inehbe folly. But, before commenting
further upon its action await the proceedings Of the
Convention i'm full.

From this paper of yesterday extract the following
passage in relation to the removal Of its editor Mr. Syme
to the city Of Raleigh:
la leaving the place Of our birth and long residence it
is an unspeakabc comfort 10 believe that we leave
no enemy behind aud that carry with the good wish
Is OF those who have known in our childhood youth
aud manhood Ia an editorial career running through
nineteen years aud embracing periods Of intense party
cltement, must, with temper naturally quick aud cx
citabe have said many things which in tn calm reflection
OF cooler moments would never have been uttered W.,
can, however thank God that have never shot a poi
-oncd arrow at any antagonist aud that it has been orr
aim t. prevent our political preferences from undny iunI-
encng our private relations. To the interests Of this city
IN all ia relations can with truth say that We have
been steady friend and while many with superior ca.
paciy have contributed to the prosperity of Peters
burg than we have been able to do conceive to no one
more earnest and heartfelt devotion to the cause than
we have felt and manifested and shall we see the
day when udng Of the advancement and prosperity or
the city Of our birth will not be greeted by US with the
warnest aud sncerest qualification Those here who feel
generous concern in personal welfare will be glad TO
know that ~ leaving them do go into land of san
gers, but into State IN which we have many relatives
aud friends. We shall cast lot among people whose
manners and feelings Identical with tho.e among whom
We have been rascd-a people whose wholcsouled but
unpreending hospitality, needs but to be seen and felt
as we have seen and felt IT, TO be gratefully appreciated
