EPISCOPAL CoNvENrIoN.-This body assembled in
this place on Wednesday last. A large number of
Minister'S lay delegates and vsiters were in atten
dance during its sessions.
E L. winslow, Esq, of Fayetteville, was re-
elected Secretary for the ensuing year. most
beautiful and appropriate Convention sermon was
preached by Bishop Atkinson, at the close of which
a collection in aid Of the Church Building Society
was taken up. DR.. Hawks preached the Missionary
sermon.
Amoug the eminent Divines in attendance, we OBJ
served Bishop Otey. of Tennessee, who favored the
large audience on Friday night, with most admira-
able sermon. During the Convention, divine service
was held at III A. NJ, and at night, and on Sabbath
also in the Methodist Church.
The body numbered among its Ministers many
men of high talent, and we think will rank with
any similar body in the country for intelligence and
piety. Salisbury Herald.

The Riot in Washington City.


We give full accounts to day of the bloody riot in
Washington Monday last, the result of the action
of the Know Nothings of that City, aided by the
"Plag Uglies,' band Of desperate Know Nothing
villains from Baltimore.
To the Mayor of the City, to the President of the
United States, the Secretary of War, and Capt. Ty
Ter the Marines we award all honor for the prompt
itude and energy with which they performed their
duty The only regret is that the rioters themselves
nearly all escaped, while innocent persons
killed or wounded. This was, however, unavoida-
BILE. The only course was to fire the mob, as
was done on this occasion. This is government
of law and order and whoever ressts the laws
or ir cites to riot and insurrcction should for
it in blood Naturalized citizens have the same
rights at the polls that native citizens have, and
their rights must be protected. If tie military had
been called out in Baltimore, Louisville, and New
Orleans during the election riots in those Cities and
had performed their duty as in Washington, many
a valuable life would have been saved and the ma
jesty of the law would have been maintained.
These things deeply to be deplored. They
are the fruits Of Know Nothngism. But no matter
how much may deplore them, and no matter who
is to blame for theln the liberty of the ballotbox
must be protected and the law maintained at every
hazard.
Notwithstanding the disorder and riot the anti
Know Nothings of Washington carried the election
by decided majorities.

Our amable friend of the Wilmington Herald is
laboring under of his biennial attacks of grumb
ling about the delay in sending out the laws and
journals of the Legislature. We cannot say that
much blame him in this instance, however; but it
is due to ourselves, State printers to say that all
the printing completed in some twenty days
less time than is allowed US by law. The Secretary
of State has done the best he could in regard to the
blnding; and we are happy to inform our friend
Burr that the laws, journals and documents now
all ready for delivery, and that they have already
been sent out to more than half the counties in the
State.
