Huntsville AdcocMe is. satisfied with
the action Of the, State Convention,
and thinks that It remains in the
hands'of the people to say whether
they shall have peace and return to
prosperity. Closing an article on the
subject, it Justly remarks:
"What remains now to restore
Alabama to the confidence of the Go
vernment and its fostering care, is for
the people to actively endorse and
support what the Convention has
done; to send members to the Legis-
latUre who viii J ass laws TO protect

enjoyment of all their rights OF per
son and propcrty;;' and who will ratify
the proposed amendment to the
United States Congress; and to send
men 70 Congress who can take the
cath, and thus be admitted These
are as indispensable to the restoration
OF the State as anything the Conven-
ton has done The people now see
and realize the results OF secession.
and they are prepared and anxious,

We are glad to note in the Congress

general disposition to leave the field
exclusively to candidates who can take
the stringent Congressional oath that
they have never participated in the
rebellion. Out of the eight Congress
slonal Districts, five have candidates
tanning who can all meet the Con-
gressionaI requirement. But in the
Accomac District the Lynchburg
District, and the Charlottesville Dis
trlct there are candidates who avow
that they Will not and cannot take
the oath, and yet claim that if elected
Congress cannot and will not refuse
to admit them. IL this last district
a. II. n. Stuart, Secretary OF. Interior
under Mr.. Fillmore, being a candi-
date, declares his inability to take the
oath, yet deties Congress to keep him

oath is unconstitutional, and that the
Republican pa1ty- Will never dare to
make practical application &c il.
In all Kindness, We advise NJ.
Stuart, and those whom he seeks to
represent, to act upon 10 such as

The House Of Representatives Will

beyond all question Will exercise it in

SELLING OFF CHEAP FOR CAsH.-According to
our last accounts, General Grant having
arrived at the front, jeff. Davis was ready,
through Joe Johnston, to sell out for the privi-
lege of leaving the country with bis pickings
and stealings from the Richmond banks. This
is q considerable fall for jeff; but be has not
vet touched bottom.

The Surrender OF Johnston.

The surrender of Johnston to General Grant
or, as Grant modestly puts it, to General
Sherman-on the same terms as Lee, ends the
rebellion. No rebel army or part of on army
now remains east OF the Mississippi as it is
potable that Dick Taylor has, ere this, sur
rendered to Candy. As for Kirby Smith, who
commands ives. of tho Mississippi, he seems to
care more for cotton speculations than for the
confederacy. He has repeatedly refused to
cross the river to aid Davis, and reports are
in circulation that his army is rapidly going to
pieces. The bosh about Sherman's wanting to
be dictator is also crushed by the news of the
surrender of Johnston; for the magnificent
compliment which Grant pays to his old and
tried friend and favorite general, by giving
him the credit of receiving Johnston's sur
render, ends allcontroversy about that mali
cj6us Islander.

SOUTHERN R1GETs.-Southern rights, as illus
trated by JEFF. Davis, have involved on grand
scale his right of CONSUMPTION against every
man, the right to tax everybody to any extent,
the right to steal every mans property, niggers
and all, the right to fix his own price and pay
in his own scrip for purchases, the right to
appropriate, burn and destroy, the right to
imprison, shoot or hang any protesting citizen,
and lastly, the right to rob the banks of their
gold, and the right of way out of the confederacy
with his plumber. Of such Southern rights we
guess the Southern people have had enough to
last them for hundred years.

GuERuIAs.-It appears that the country

impoverished neighbors, before II IL too late,
