the following:

uplifted for the piecemeal dismem cerment o1

IoW-citiZens and compatriots OF the South
may seek q solution Of our present political
omplications in a spirit of unity, and by O
method which shall rise at least 10 the dignity
of the occasion, we venture TO recommend the
assembling, at an early day, of u Convention
or Congress of Delegates, who shall be ap.
poin ted by the several slaTehOlding States, IN

deemed most eXpedient. for the purposes ol

remedy deemed most adequate to avert them.

reported TO have surpassed the BRUSH ano
French ships OF her class on the squadron.
The greatest hardship prevails among the
naval officers, sailors, sailors wives, ano
others. owing TO the non-arrival OF the usual
monthly money from the Treasury. Officers
have been ins ulted by butchers, grocers, tail

Iandsharks and suffers and poor women
whose husbands, away on the ocean, nave lett

of their inability to fultfii their p2cuniary OBJ
