The citizens of Atlanta, Georgia, have as
sembled irrespective of party, and rendered
the hospitalities of that city to the convention
proposed to be held in that city. Below we

Whereas, We find in the public prints of

that have been introduced into the Legisla-
ture of the State of Virginia, recommending
the holding of Southern Convention, or

proper, but the imperative duty of the South
ern States as the American Union, in this i'm
portant and alarming crisis in our national
affairs, to meet together by their representa-
tives duly commissioned for that purpose, in a
spirit of fraternity to counsel with each other
as to the best remedy by which the Constita-
tional rights of the South may hereafter be
fully respected and preserved in the Union, or

wise some feasible and efficient plan by which
the rights, honor and integrity of the South

Important from Mexico.

BY last nights exchanges from New Orleans
we learn that Gen. Miramon left the city of
Mexico on the 9Th inst, on his long threaten
ed expedition against Vera Cruz. The expe-
dition fiumbers some 5000 men, and is ac-
companied by heavy seige train of artillery.
The advanced guard, as also the main body,
left the city several days previous to the de-
parture of the General, and the former was
reported already to have reached the National
B-idge.. The city Of Vera Cruz had in cense-
quence been declared in q state of seige, and
Miramon was hourly expected to make his
appearance the second time before the walls.

To GET RID OF MoTHs.-We know of no
nfallible method. 1t is said if certain often
sive substances are placed where they are
wont to lay their eggs, during the months of
May and june, they viii be repelled- A few
drops Of the oil of wormwood sprinkled on an
oil cloth and then laid in a chest Of drawers,
will drive off most all insects. Camphor gum
scattered along and under the edges Of carpets,
in the creyices of furniture, and among the fold
Of clothing, is rather disgusting to moths
Where they have already burrowed in carpets,
sprinkle little water on the infested spots,
then lay on sheet of brown paper and apply
hot iron vigorously. Vinegar would per-
haps be more efficatious than water. The
steam generated will be too much for the
moths. But both of these applications may
iRjure the color of the carpet.
