Alabama State Convention,

New YORK, Sept. 3O.-The Trbunes spec
ial says that a telegram was received by the
President to-day, from General Weitzel, now
commanding in Texas, which states that the
notorious Duke Gwin and Ex-Gov. Clark, Of
Missouri, have crossed the Rio Grande, sur-
rendered themselves to our forces, and are
now snpplicating for pardon for their manifold
sins.
The Herald's Jacksonville, Mississippi, cor
respondent says that the corn and cotton crops
in the State are failure, and that the people
of Mississippi will have to draw rations from
other States for another year.
The Mississippi river levees are washing
away, and the stream threatens to food the
whole country adjacent The railroads Of the
State remain unrepaired, and the whole coun-
try is devastated. The social condition is no
better, and the people remain idle and shiftlcss
as formerly.
There are three candidates in the field for
Governor, each of whom is described as ex-
rebels.
The Times special says it is understood that
Major General Slocum has sent his resignation
to Gen. Thomas, and pending its acceptance
has received leave Of absence to be present
during the political canvass in New York.
The President has cleared his desk of all
pardon applications, he having granted nearly
l, 500 within the past three days An inspec-
tlon OF these lists shows the names TO belong
almost entirely to the $1,000 dollar clause, with
Xegy eg5, teN few &c, OF political prominence Among

'Tis Autumn, and the fading leaves
Sail slowly down upon the wind
Leaving like Death when he bereaves
The living germ OF hope behind
'Tis Autumn, and the sun is din,
His Summer fire is nearly g ne;
The breeze waits out mournful hymn,
And all the earth is sad and lone
Ills Autumn over land and main
veil of azure haze is thrown,
AS if the parent heaven again
Had claimed our planet for its own;
And the blue vestments of the sky
For garniture of glory given,
Till scarcely can the s,raining eye
Tell which is earth or which is heaven

of two national debts, each greater in
proportion to the population and resources
of the people than the present prospect
i've national debt. On the first of Janu-
ary, 1900, the public debt was s76,463,

1872, when it amounted to S45,737 900.
The war of 1S1z raised it to Sl27 1884 933

among the States. The United States
has the rare honor Of being the only
Government that has paid her debts, with
a surplus, and this without having op-
pressed her people with excessive taxation.

War With Great Britain.

The news from Europe is ominous. 1t
bodies no good for the peace existing at
present between the United States and
England. English statesmen, anxious to
escape the odium of their share in the sf-
fort to destroy the American Union, and
thus forever put an end to free govern
ment on the return, a-e new stoutly resist
ing the demands of the American people
for reparation for damages received from
pirates built, armed, chartered and clear
ing from English ports. When the slave
holders were most sanguiEe of success,
and when it was supposed to be impossi-
BILE to arrest the insurgent armies, the
recognized organs of the British Govern
msnt in England were unreservsd in their
encouragement Of the piracies for which
Mr.. Adams, the American Minister at the
Court of St. james now demands indem-
nifty. The civilized world is cognizant of
these fac:s. The American people can
not and will not be thwarted in their de-
termination to have redress, and We are
fairly convinced, however, much we should
deplore the fact, that if war does ensue
from this complication, it would be ac-
cepted with alacrity by the nation. Eng
lsh fnanciers are responsible for the pro-
longation Of the shareholders rebellion at
leas. three years longer than it could have
maintained itself if left to its own re-
sources. For this interferepce, unjusti-
fed by the laws Of nations and the terms
of amity then existing between the Fed
eral and the British Governments indi-
vidual Englishmen have severely suffered.
The failure Of the bogus Confederate
Government has bankrupted more than
one medling Englishmau. but the punish
meut must and will not end with penalties
to individuals. The English nation-tbe
British Government must and will be held
responsible for its share in the great sin of
the century. Our Government Is re-
solved on this point. Every dollar of
property destroyed by British pirates
mus, be reimbursed by the British Gov
ernment, or such retaIitory measures will
be insisted upon by the American people
as will carry vengeance to the wharves Of
every English port. ....r

THE "DEMOCRAT."

The Democrat last week continues to
assault the character Of Col. j. j. Patter-
son. He has had SO much abuse from the
same source since he has been in politics
tha. he disregards all such attacks and
takes them as an everyday occurrence
and matter of course. His position and
distinction in the party makes him the
target for all these attacks, and no one is
moro able to bear them than himself If
he was less prominent or less true to his
friends and his party, he would be less a
subject of slander aud abuss Every man
since the war commenced, from President
Lincoln down, who boldly met Copper
headism has been the subject of the vilest
abuse, and Col. Patterson must take his
share with the rest His friends and party
only esteem him the more highly that for
his devotion he must be held up for re-
proach to the public. We are willing to
leave the Colonel and his maligners to the
verdict of the community, where all are
known, and ieel confident he will triumph
over al. We make these remarks in JUS
tice to frlerd. and for the sake of the
party Of Which he is 50 useful and promi-
nsnt a member. We seek no controversy
with the Democrat on the subject, or do
va desire to take up defence Of Colonel
Patterson, AZ he is entirely able to defend
himself whenever he thinks Is necessary,
but We have referred to the SUBJECT in or
der to correct an error which the Domo-
crst has fallen into.
The Democrat says it will hold Colonel
Patterson responsible for everything that
may appear in the Sentinel which may
displease it, that he controls the paper and
would sell it to no one unless he could
control the paper.
Now we presume this is not an inten-
tioual error Of the Den,Ocrdt, and We,
therefore state tor their Information as well
as the public, who may be misled by hese
charges, that Col. Patterson has no con-
troll, whatever, over the Sentinel, and we
are alone responsible and intend to, and
are able to take care Of ourselves. While
We desire good feeling with our neighoors
down town, we confess We fear our desire
will not be gratifed if this is the way
the Democrat starts off. We have soms
patience and good nature, but it may be-
come exhausted if these things are per-
Sc vered in, and we assure the gentlemen
we will meet the responsibility as promptly
as they may desire. --

NATIONAL DEBT.

The Secretary of the Treasury has jus
made his Monthly Statement of the Ma
tional Debt. On the 3Oth day of October
the debt all told was So, 74O.S54, 75s, &c
On the 3lst day of July the highest poin,
of increase in the National debt was reach.
ed and the process of decrease commenced.
This is the result Of peace, the overthrow
of rebellion, the rapid disbandmant of
our armies, the reduction Of the navy and
a general and thorough cartailmsut Of the
expences of the Government in every de-
partment, civil, military and naval. 1t is
source of great qualification 20 the tax
payer and the patriot 1t is an evidence
OF the true intention of the Government
to lessen the burden of The people and
MAINTAIN the honor and credit of the ma
tiop. 1t is proof that those at the helm
are able and wise statesmen and honest pa
triots. The Secretary also shows by bis
statement that since the alst day of July
over SIT 100000 of the debt las been
paid, and in addition, that nearly $780,
O00, 900 of legal tender notes have been
withdrawn from Calculation, thus reducing
the volume of currency and going rapidly
in the direction of resumption Of rpecie
payments. We have first to rejoice over
the fact that the debt is being reduced
monthly, second, that the time for specie
payment is not far distant, and third, that
the condition of our finances will not re-
qui.e Congress to create new loans and
increase the taxes, as would have been the
case bad tho war continued. The estima-
ted expences of the Government for the
next year are for interest on public debt
sl65, ,000, 900, civil, military and naval
500, ,000, 900 more, making s265 100000
Now the receipts from internal revenue
will amount to nearly s300,00O,000, and
then we have the receipts from Customs,
lands and other sources say s75,000,0
more, which will place in the Treasury
nearly sl00,000,000 a year more than the
expences, which can be applied to the
payment Of the debt A reduction in
taxes will soon follow, and with Union
restored, peace smiling on our land, the
people happy and prosperous, the power of
the Government respected at home, the
flag Of the country feared abroad; the in
tegrity of the Constitution and the sscu-
rity of the laws placed above and beyond
the reach Of treason, then will the Nation
forget her sore trials, lightly estimating
her sacrifices, but still mourning the dead
and the world acknowledge that to the
fallen heroes We owe all this prosperity
'Rd glory.

sOLDIERs or '6I AND '62.

A National Convention representing
the Soldiers of '61 and '62, will be
held in Washington, D. c., on the fourth
Monday in January next. The object of
the Convention is to confer with the
Government in reference to bounty for
soldiers who enlisted in the early part Of
tho war, and also relative to positions un-
der the various departments, that they
might ill with credit to themselves and
the country they so ably protected.
1t would meet the appreciation Of the
public, if Congress would pass an act
that would entitle the soldiers of '6I and
'62 to sum of money, or its equivalent
in land, equal to the bounty paid to the
men who enlisted in '63 and '64-these
men all received large local bounties ia
addition to that paid by the Government
Patriotism alone prompted the men of
'6l and '62, to respond to the call for vol
unteers. No large local and government
bouuties were held forth as an induce
ment TO enlist No fears of an impend-
ing draft" disturbed their slumbers -
They heard the call for men, and a ma
ton will bear them witness, how nobly
they braved dangers aud death to crush
cut rebellion and re-establish the ma
tiopal authority, for their noble and he
roic endurance, and perseverance, to the
end of the struggle, they have the graft
tude Of all loyal people, let them too,
have the same reward that was paid to
the soldiers who came forth at the eler-
enth hour.

are interested in this matter, should cal

represent them IN the Nationat Conysn-
