A National Convention Demanded by
- the People at Large.


the People at Large.
There u longer remains particle of
doubt but that large majority of the people
of the United States would vote for the
holding of national convention to conside
the state of the country, could they be con-
suited. Two years and for months of war
has resulted in hething save the destruction
of life and propsrty-coupled with increased
sectional hatred and alienation. The cam
pairn upon the pockets of the people has
been az entire success, and mased eallossal
fortunes for those who ride over us, and
this tells the whole s tory. No man who Is
not blinded by the fog of Abolition fanati,
cism will fail to perceive the anarchy ana
despotism into which We are drifting,
These things are no longer ideal; but real
and living facts stareing Us at every step.
We are glad to see so m any papers moot
ing the same course we advised months ago
We feel we'll assured. that if an armistice
could be sgreed upon for sixty days the
people neither North or South would ever
sgree to the reDewel of arms. This plan oi
settlement will in the end be adopted, and
why not talk of it now?-Ran'iItOn (O)

The, Mutiny of the Georgia Militia
go Killed and 200 Wounded.

The report of @mutiny in Bragg's army
seems to be fully confirmed by late intelli-
genee. A letter from Chattanooga to the Gin
cinnati Commercial says: ..s.
g. 1t was occas'oned by the refusal of the
Georgia militia to remain longer in active
service. They represented that they had
volunteered only for the battle of Chicka-
manga, to drive the Federal troops out of their
own State, and that done, were unwilling to
be retained in the Confederate service Bragg
refused to grant them permission to return
home, and they stacked arms, whereupon a
division of Longstreet's men were ordered
into line. Even This did not intimidate the
valiant militia. They were resolute, and were
not to be cocrced in any such style. Finding
no virtue in threats, Longstreets men were
ordered to fire upon the mutineers, and dis
charged several volleys at them, with wha
effect we have not been able to definitely as
certain. We have it on the authority of de
serters, that sixty were killed and two hundred
badly wounded" AH

A horrible accident lately occurred near
Marietta, Georgia. A train of cars contain
ing the First Tennessee Battalion and Eff
teenth Tennessee Regiment Rebel while go
ing from Atlanta on the State road, came into
collision with special train bound for the
city, with few sick soldiers on board Both
were going at full speed and met ON curve.
The cars were all smashed up, eighteen sol
ders were killed and sixty-seven wounded.-
One soldier was caught up by the thigh, be-
tween the engine and tender, and could not
be extricated. He begged to be killed, but
his request was not complied with, and for
three hours he thus suffered before life was
extinct.
A number of conductors and baggage mas

them with the returns, and the arrests have
taken place in consequence.

LETTER FROM LAUREL.
LAUREL, DELAWARE,
October 10th, 1863.

October 10Th, 1863.
Mr. Enron:
I see by the proceedings of the miscalled
Democratic party, that they have nominated char-
lev Brown the finder Boa. This is the individual
who made such an ass of hirself in 1874, in at
tempting to refute the arguments of the Hon. John
NJ. Clayton, who by the by, took no notice of this
third rate politician and speaker. Now, want the
voters of this County to pass him by with and
conter.pt, on account of his political sentiments,
which are calculated to overthrow one Of the best
Governments on the face of the earth. He is one
of the Vallandigham stripe endorses the principles
of salisbury, who is Apostle of Vallandgham,
who voted in Congress the same way as Vallandig-
ham, talked, acted and done as he done; now comes
before the people of this State and asl 8 them for
their votes, when he has scarcely gained his resi-
dence in the State. Away with such fellow, and
teach him that we have enough better men born and
raised in our own state that want none imported
from Richmond, Virginia, to represent us in Con
gress. He has I am told, considerable property in
Richmond, Virginia, and for that cause would make
a good Representative for JEFF. Davis.
Mr.. Smithers is the Union Candidate, who out
strides him in talents as a ia nond does brick
bat Let us then, for the sake of the Union, unite
our whole strength in the of our country, ant
eject our talented and fearless candidate, Nahanie
B. Smithers, Esq, to Congress, by overwhelming
majority, on election day. b.

S1.lOO.912.793


Eleven hundred millions is a large national
dept, but when we state that almost the entire
amount has been raised among ourselves,
without help from abroad, and that our great
industrial interests are prospecting, there is a
consciousness of strength and wealth in the
fact that it is gratifying to our pride as it is
cautionary to nations envicus ofour greatness.
The aggregate debt of England is 4009 mil
lions of dollars, that of France 2206 millions,
and that of the United States HOO millions.
The former is some four times, and the latter
nearly double that of our debt, and yet in
natural resources those of the United States,
as compared with either of the great nations
named, is tent Id greater.
