the spring he did chores at the Harring

Tuesday served with a notice to be at the
rendezvous within tn days along with his

read It, and made him understand the ma

A Rotten Convention.

The following highly important dis
patch appeared in our telesraphic report
yesterday morning:
"a Mass State Convention was called at
Beaufort, South Carolina. for the 18th OF
May, to select delegates to the Baltimore
Convention. \ similar movement is re-
ported to be On foot in Florida"
This is about as cool an operation IS the
history of these singular times affords.
South Carolina to be represented in the
Baltimore Convention. There are not
twenty citizens of the entire State of South
Carolina within the neck of land covered
by our lines. DO the miscegens propose to
admit our unfedged African brother to
their Presidential councils? 1t is time the
Radicals bolted from Mr. Lincoln and re-
pudiated the Baltimore Convention. for
under the operations Of Mr. Lincoln's
strategy, there is not the ghost of a chance
for fair nomination Mr. Lincoln's Office
holders, probably assisted by the multitude
Of female New England teachers, will fix

Convention. The history of rotten Dor
oughs and false elections affords no in
stance equa! to this in impudence or vii
lainy. John Candleoox Calhoun is cast

ida - Mr.. Lincoln procured the butch
cry Of thousand good men and soldiers in
order to get the capital of Florida to give
his presidential scheme the show of legality
and fairness but as the expedition failed
he has concluded to cast aside even the
presence of fairness, and secure the bene-
Cts without attempting to conceal the
shameful corruption. Their submission to
such impudent ana shameless impositions
illustrates the natural subservience and
servilty of the Abolitonists Such an at

VOLUME 9.
Who owns the South

Five minutes conversation with an Abo-
htionist will reveal to you the fact that he
conceives that the people of the North ac-
tually own the people of the South, and
that it is nothing short of the most unpar-
allelled presumption for them to suppose
that they have any right to houses, land or
estate, much less to that of self-govern-
ment "These men are SO intractable..
say they, $50 bitter, SO determined, that
there will be no living with them in the
future. We must exterminate them and
seize their property" This highly hu-
name and Christian conclusion is reached
with the most perfect GOODNESS and COM
posure. Of course, why should it not be
60? Are we not more civilized than they
Are we not more intelligent? Do We not
exceed them in all the humane and gent
Ter virtues? In a word, are we not the
saints, and does not the earth belong to
the saints Surely it does Ergo, the
South belongs to us, and so long as we can
print Greenbacks and buy people to do our
fighting for US, so long we will keep up
this war Of determination. We do not ex-
pect to conquer them, but we have two or
three to their one, and with Generals who
are willing to turn Wholesale butchers, we
can ''wipe them out, in the impressive
language used on Sherman raid.
This is the programme now adopted
The war is one simply for determination
It is waged for that purpose. The idea of
being able to conquer the South has long
since been abandoned. 1t is simply a
cold, cruel war of bitter determination.
There is not even one spark of generosity
70 soften Its composition of malignitv
cruelty and slaughter Over the heads of
the men fighting more bravely than men
ever fought, hang the vile threat of negro
equality and the con6scation of all their
property, and yet people profess to wonder
Why they are so bitter. This is like knock
ing man down, beating him nearly to
death, stealing his clothes and leaving him
by the roadside in pitlless storm, and then
wondering Why he does not love and en-
brace us Ifthesc people who are urging
on this crusade Of slaughter, would SIT
down calmly for five minutes and ask them
selves how they would like the same meas
urc meted out to them, they could not
deceive themselves longer, unless, as is
most likely, they wished to be deceived

Canadian Opinion Of Sheridan.

The Toronto Globe of September &c
says:
Gen. Sheridan is a model. Not only
does he win battles, but his victroles; do
not lose their Importance on tho read
ing Of tho second account ofthem. His
dispatches are plain narrations Of what
he has done, and not grand prophecies
ofwhat he will do. But best Of all,
when he gains an advantage he under
stands the Importance Of following it up.
On Monday last he won q victory, and,
in place Of sitting down to wait till the
enemy had recovered from tho blow, he
pressed Immediately forward. On Thurs.
day he had overtakcn and whipped the
foe again, and, in place Of haltiDg even
then, he still pressed on the pursuit.
Early on the following morning We
hear from him. at Woodstock, q point
some ten or twelve miles beyond. tho
battlefield Of the previous day, declaring
that he had pushed on, regardless Of
anything" If such tactics do not gain
their reward, it will not be the fault, OF

Oh, wonder If she loves mel
She never told me so in words:
Yc, her voice, like the lovc-notes of the birds
Grew soft and low when to me alone
She spoke; and in every thrilling tone,
In the soulful glance of her deep, dark eye,
Where a world Of feeling seemed to lie
BY the many namelesS wsam things
To which mans heart most closely clings-
l thought that she dM love me!
Oh, wish kncr she loved nc!
When she Was here the world WAS bright;
Each diamond stnr in the crown Of night
Cleaned out with light unseen before,
And tlsc waves that washed knnawha's shore
Flowed down to me from her home above,
Seeming ever to nucmur, Love, love, love!
While every flower, and every bird,
We're the hrightcs, and sN cctest ever heard:
