S0UTH-CAROLINA CONvENTION.-It seems that
there are persons in South-C Carolina who object to
the Convention ofthat State remaining in existence
and who insist that it should dissolve. There are
discontented persons also in this State, who have
raised the same cry against our State Convention.
The attention of the Charleston Mercury having
been called to the subject that paper says:
- is assumed that the Convention of the People
of South Carolina was called to take the State out
Of the Union and into the Southern Confederacy,
and then dissolve itself forthwith. We think there
is no warrant for such notion, and that it should
remain in existence so long as there are dangers
incident 10 the removal Of the State from Federal
Union, and so long as it may provide measures neces
sary and proper in taking care that the Common
wealth of South Carolina shall suffer no detrment.
Two years was proposed, in the Legislature as
limit to the existence of the Crnvention. 1t vas
supposed that in two years every thing would be
settled. But the body wisely determined to suggest
no period for the Convention, and there is none in
the Act as passed. 1t was expected that the Con-
venon would see the State through her difficulties.
Had no difficulties occurred, the Convention would
have adjourned. But we in the midst of bloody
war for existence, and We have need of BODY vest
ed with extraordinary powers for extraordinary
emergencies. The salvation of the State may yet
depend upon the wisdom and vigor Of that body: We
trust the Convention will not dissolve itself until
We are through difficulties nor leave the State at
such time without the means of providing what
ever measures or instruments emergencies may re-
quire for our safety and people. All is
not plain sailing We are in the midst of bloody
revolution and have need of our highest wisdom
and best energies. Let the Convention furnish
these, and its course will receive the applause of
the people," -.
If the Mercury had been speaking for the Con.
ventiOn 0f fhc Sfoto md -,
assailants, its language could not have been more
just and appropriate The Mercury be it remem-
bered is an ultra secession journal, but it differs on
this subject with its political associates in this
State. 49,. -.

) exempt, &C., &c We have already published all
that we have seen which pertains to the law ID any
way To-day, we insert the order Of the Secretary
! OF War BY Adjutapt General Cooper, in regard to
substitutes Some of the questions proponnded to-
us can only be answered at present by the Secreta
! ty ofWar. We presume if our friends viii wait !;
little that the officer who may be appointed in this
State to enrol the coscrpts, will be able to answer
allinquiries. A" school teacher wishes to know
if common school teachers are exempt :nssmuch as
many Of them only teach : part Of the time. The
1 law exempts teachers who have twenty scholars.
We presume it means men who engage IN teaching
as regular profession, whether engagedsin common
schools or any otaer. By recent decision Of the
Secretary Of War; we see that he does not consider
students who are ls years of age, exempts. Under
this decision We regret to learn that Wake Forest
College will suspend its exercises after this session.
The Universities and male Colleges of the South,
presume, will all be suspended. Asad thought
for the future history Of country Female schools
and seminares may possibly be kept up, unless our
Commanding Generals a. proprate them as they
have done in some instsn as barracks and hospi-
tails for the army, course which almost every con-
sideration of propriety and proper regard for the
future, ought to prohibit. If our boys are doomed
to grow up in ignorance because of this ruinous war,
pray let the girls be educated, and find home and
an asylum from the ravages of the enemy, in our
schools and Colleges.

was killed. We also learn that two sons of Walter
R. Moore of Johnston, were also wounded and it is
feared that of them has since died or fallen into
the hands Of the enemy.
OF the killed in COL McRaes regiment, 1t Col.
Badham was from Edenton; Capt Mullins from Fay.
ettevi)le; Capt. Garrett commanded Co, F., but we
have forgotten his place of residence; Capt. Lea,
who is said to have been wounded, and left in the
hospital and taken by the enemy, we presume is
from Caswell We are glad to learn that Capt.
Brook6eld was not killed. He was from Newbern.
Our heghbor Of the Register is mistaken in sup
posing that we had least it up" to him "as re-
proach" that he s. was born and reared in Virginia"
We can appreciate the respect and affection with
which our neighbor regards the land of his BIRTH
Virginia is noble and gallant State. But while
we respect Virginia and Virginians much, we respect
and love North-C Carolina more; and while we re-
proach no man, either for the place or the manner
of his BIRTH and while we know no difference in po-
litica rights between native and adopted citizens,
We at the same time enter our protest against the
course which some Of our adopted citizens have pur
sued of denouncing traitors to the country some
of our best and most patriotic atios citizens This
is the point which we made in recent article, at
which our neighbor has taken umbrage. To man
who knoDs be is true to his native land, it is hard-
very hard to be held up traitor; but it is es-
pecially SO when the charge proceeds from one why
was born in another State or from one who first
saw the light under kingly or imperial rule. That
was all we said, ard all We meant to Say. Our
neighbor Of the Reyister, with all bis folles and
faults and with that especial want Of coolness and
foresight which nearly all the destruc-
