ssS The signs of the times encouraging
end suspicious. The action of the late great
Convention has had a tremendous effect upon
popular sentiment at the North. The friends
of Constitutional Uaion are bouyant, hopeful,
active, while dismay and Consideration are every
where visible in the Radical camp
The people Of the East and the West, the
Centre and the South, will take up the move
ment which the Convention so wisely prepared
for them; for in its triumph at the elections lies
the only hope Of the peace, unity and prosperity
of the country in the future. If it fall the Union
will have failed; republican liberty, regulated by
law, will have failed; and either despotism, like
that of the old dynasties of continental Europe,
or disintegrasion, like that which distracts the
Southern half of our own continent, will ensue,
the former bringing grinding oppression, and
the latter commercial ruin, wars OF races and
sections, and universal chaos.-Ral- Sentinel.

THE GEORGIA CoTToN CRoP--A late letter
from Macon Ga gives most encouraging ae-
counts of the cotton crop in Georgia, and from
100000 to 100000 bales, we are assured, may
be relied upon. This crop, at the lowest esti-
mate of 100000 bales, would yield in money,
at 80 cents pound the handsome total of 49,
10000. Several new cotton factories are in
process of erection in Georgia and elsewhere at
the south, and English capitalists, it is said, are
negotiating for the purchase of cotton lands on
q large scale

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
Washington.sAug. 20, 1866.

1t has been represented to this office that, in
some instances, Assistant Assessors have used
their official positions to secure their nomination
TO local offices, and it is urged that their relation
to the taxpayer is such that they may use it to
their personal advantage in this respect, if so dis
posed. It's also believed that the position of a
candidate for Office before the people is unfavor
tal to the proper discharge of the duties of an
Assistant Assessor
The Secretary of the Treasury has therefore
directed that notice be issued, that the ,ccept-
ance of a nomination for an elective office by any
Assistant Assessor will be taken as evidence III ~
he no longer desires to retain his position.
Assessors are instructed to promptly report the
name of any Assistant who may accept, or who
is known t. be seeking nomination for any such
office, in order that assessor may be forthwith
appointed. THOMAS HARLAND.

STRANGE IF TRUE-The Detroit Tribune
records the following singular circumstances,
and vouches for their truth:
"Some months since citizen of Branch
county, Michigan, employed two men to remove
his deceased wife's remains, which they pretend
ed to do, and claimed as recompense,- one three
dollars and half, and the other one dollar and
half. The gentleman being we'll pleased with
the execution of the work, gave the latter two
dollars, which he refused, returning fifty cents.
The following night the gentleman dreamed
that one of the men visited his room naked, his
body covered with black spots, and on being
asked what allied him, he replied that the spots
indicated the lies be had told, and the large one
on his side the lie he had told him in regard to
disinterring his wife's remains, which they had
not done. On awaking, his dream SO impressed
him that he was led to ascertain whether the
men had actually done what he had paid them
for doing, and found that they had not On his
complaint they were arrested and sent to the
State Prison for one year for obtaining money
under false pretenses, and are now serving out
their time at jackson"

THE RADICALS AND GEN. GRANT.-The
negro worshippers have now got another cause
for alarm, says the New York Herald. General
Grants presence and conspicuous position by
the side of the President at the reception of the
committee from the Philadelphia Convention
has thrown them into greater panic than any
thing that has yet happened. They are trying
to show that this was mere accidental circum-
stance, when, ia fact, the bearing of Grant and
the whole thing locked as though it was pre- ar
ranged, General Grant is a shrewd man, and
he has evidently discovered which way the wind
is blowing, and has taken sides with the Presi-
dent and the people in this contest.-Richmond

Ex-PREsIDENT DAvIs-7Ac Fidelity Of q
Dog The following incident is one OF those
peculiar instances Of the sagacty and fidelity of
the canine species, which deserves to be records
ed and may be read with profit by some of the
human family whose actions lily square with
their professions. But, to our story:
"Immediately after the incarceration of Pres
ideut Davis 10 the casemate at Fortress Monroe,
an old dog, who was doubtless rebel sympathi-
ser, with that remarkable instinct for which the
canine species are noted, appeared to understand
that the prisoner there confined was different
individual from those usually held in duress in
the Fort, and when Mr Davis, after long con-
fnement and most brutal treatment was allowed
to breathe the fresh air and take exercise out of
doors, the old dogs eyes gstened and lis eau
DIAL appendage twirled in the air, giving un-
doubted signs of gladness. This dog followed
the footsteps of Mr. D: on all his pedestrian ex-
cursions, and when he returned to the casemate
would quietly lie down and patiently wait the
appearance Of the distinguished prisoner. Re-
Gently the dog has fallen under the bans of the
authorities at the Fort and been expelled from
that locality Recognizing the fidelity of the
old dog, and doubtless commserating the for
lorn condition of this faithful attendant the ex-
President has sent him to friend in this city
with the request that the dog be we'll taken care
of during his lifetime.
This trust will be sacredly fulfilled, and be-
fore many days, Tor his fidelity to our martyr
ex-President, the faithful dog will have placed
upon his neck a splendid collar, upon which will
be inscribed the name which his present.owner
Intends giving him efferson Davis.-Rich~

LET US BE PATIENT.-The Petersburg Index
pays the following tribute to the conoiliatory and
magnanimous policy of President johnson. 1t
advises the people to be patient and hopeful for
The accomplishment of their wishes in many par
ticuars not yet realized. 1t says:
And if there still remains something to be
done, if there is still proclamation unwritten or
d shackle unbroken. let nest assured that, from
the large plain of the Presidents comprehensive
view there is some reason iustifying, in his opin-
ION, the delay, and let give him CREDIT for an
honest purpose while await the future.
He is now clear of even the suspicion of alliance
with Jacobinism. He is the leader.of the Con-
sentative men of the Union. call them by what
name you may. and is abreast with the foremost
of them all in the recognition of the privileges of
the people and the supremacy of law. Let US DO

/ THE FREEDMEN.-It having been brought to
the attention of the Governor. that certain officers
OF the Freedmen's Bureau construed Zen. Rob-
inson's order of the 18th July last, retaining
for the Bureau jurisdiction over all contracts be-
tween negroes and white men, whether witnessed
or approved by the officers of the Bureau or not,
! the Governor addressed a communication to Gen.
Robinson. dissenting from this construction. In
consequence, the General has issued the following
order:
Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned
Lands. Raleigh, n. c., Aug. 9Th, 1866. :
General Orders, No. 5,
General Orders, No. 3. current series, from
these Headquarters, having been misunderstood,
it is ordered. to prevent further misrepresentation
that all claims for wages made by freedmen, un-
der contracts not approved or witnessed by Off
GERS or agents of the Bureau. will be turned over
to the civil authorities for adjudication. The
nearest officer agent of the Bureau will. when
practicable, attend the Courts during the trial of
such cases, and report upon the action taken, in
order that, If 10 is apparent that the freedmen are
unnecessarily delayed in the collection of their
claims. jurisdiction over the case may be resumed
by the Bureau.
BY command of Brevet Major Gen. Robinson,
CLINTON A. CILLEY. Asst Adjt Gen.
So long as the Freedmen's Bureau is committed
to the control of.the Military, perhaps no serious
objection will. be urged against proper officers
seeing that the freedmen not kept out of their
just dues unnecessarily ; yet every rejecting man
must the incongruity and manifestly uncon-
stitutional proceeding of having the action of
civil courts reviewed by the military, even where
negroes are concerned So long as military Off
GERS charged with this delicate duty demean
themselves properly, perhaps no difficulty may
occur but the Courts should not, in the least
compromise their dignity and self respect, by
allowing o needless and unlawful interference
with their Jurisdictions by military men.-Rql-
