The sentinel,s Misrepreseutations.

The Sentinel says the Howard amendment
would "disfranchise large, and the most
intelligent portion of our fellow-citizens-"-
To disfranchise means, to take away the
right to vote. The amendment does no such
thing, and the Sentinel knew this when the
above was penned. 1t simply provides that
public men who once took solemn oath, in
certain offices, to support the federal Consti-
tuition, and afterwards broke this oath, shall
not hold Office unless two-thirds of Congress
shall allow them to do So The worst trait
ors In the South-friends and allies of the
iSentinet-will be allowed to vote, but not,
at present, to hold office. President John
son has gone much further than this. He
declares to-day that unpardoned rebels"
shall neither vote, nor hold office, nor make
OR receive title to property. What do you
think of that, Mr.. Sentinel Will you dare
to open your mouth on the subject9 By the
way, how is it that Gov. Graham is not par
doneda Holden has been out of office nine
months,-who is to blame now for the nom
pardon of Mr.. Graham? Will the Sentinel
tell?
The Sentinel also says the proposed amend
ment q opens the door to negro suffrage
1t simply leaves suffrage to the States, as the
Presidents plan does. If the door is open,
let US close it. We have the power to do So
The amendment expressly provides that the
States shall have any sort of suffrage they
may want. President johnson instructed
Gov. Sharkey to make the effort to establish
negro suffrage in Mississippi. The Presi-
dent has, therefore, gone further in this res
pect also than Congress has done. Under
his plan he advised Gov. Sharkey to estab-
fish negro suffrage in Mississippi, SO as to
conciliate the radicals, and thus secure the
admission of the State. Congress advises no
such thing. It presents plan, and says to
the States, do as you please. If you want
negro suffrage, adopt it; if not, reject it,
Of course our people will reject it. And
SO will Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, In
diana, and other States formerly non-slave-
holding.
Will the Sentinel be good enough to at
tempt to meet the above points,
Again, does the Sentinel expect in the future,

THE CoTToN CROP OF EDGEcoMBE.-
Many and various speculations have been
made relative to the growing cotton crop of
this county. The Spring was unpropitious
for the plant, and bad stands were common,
almost universal. June and July were ia
vorable, and the plant attained good size,
and bolls were plenty. Estimates were
made by practical planters that from Is to
10000 bales would be made-but August
set in, and with it remarkably cool weather.
In fact, our oldest planters say they have
never known so cool an August. The con-
sequence is rust every where, and in many
places rot. From all we can gather from the
different sections we are not disposed to put
the crop of the county higher than 10000
bales. Iarbor0' Southerner
The cotton crop of Edgecombe, in 1860,
was about 10000 bales. The Southener
says the crop this year will be about 10000
bales. The cotton crop of the State, in
1860, was about 100000 bales. Assuming
half a crop this year for the whole State, We
may safely count on 1OO,O 900 bales

Accept my thanks for the noble and eff

The results of the recent elections in
North Carolina have greatly damaged the
prospects of the State, in the restoration Of
its Governmental relations. Should the ac-
ton and the spirit of the Legislature be in
the same direction, it will greatly increase
the mischief already done, and might be
fatal

rather to repair than increase the difficulties
under which the State has already placed

Mr.. johnson has not retracted nor even
qualified the above. He holds the same
opinions now he held then. Gov. Worth
instead of having done any thing to concili-
ate or please the President, has done all he
could to displease and injure him, by rip
ping up and destroying his plan in North
Carolina. Therefore, eoery citizen soho may

condemn Andrew johnson, Mr.. johnson says

North Carolina. How, then, can person

Gen. Dockery is no radical. He is not
even a member of the Republican party
He is simply National Union man. Gov.
Worth has been in Office nine months, and
the State is further from being restored to
the Union than it was when he was inaugu-
rated. We shall never get back under him
Let us now try some one else. Let us try
Gen. Dockery. Will the Neus attempt tn
give us some good reason why this should
not be done9

The New York Times ON the C0nstitu-
tional Amendment.
The New York Times, whose Editor, Mr..
Raymond, is the author of the address and
resolutions of the Philadelphia Convention
SO much commended by the Sentinel and its
friends, continus to urge the Howard amend
ment on the Southern States. In his issue
of the 26th September, Mr.. Raymond says:
"To any Northern man of the least power
of weighing future results, there can be no
doubt of the immense benefits which will
result to the nation from the acceptance of
the amendment We have repeatedly stated
them. But some of them are included in
the very objections which we have been an
swering, and deserve attention. The Free
States ought to be able to exclude certain
persons from the South from taking seats in
our National Legislature. 1t UouM be a
mOckery to the patriotic dead, and an insult
to the hosts of Ioing, anho h0ue sacrificed so
much to pat do,on this rebellion, to see such
men as Jefferson Daois or Mr.. Benjamin, or
Numbers Of others, some stained Nth the blood
Of the innocent, and all promoters and Lead
ers Of the insurrection, taking their seats again
in the halls Of the Capitol. We hace alacays
urged that it is gerry desirable to break up
the old leaders Of Secession at the South, and
the third section Of the amendment has a
tendency to accomplish this. We believe that
all conservative and patriotic men at the
North will soon acknowledge the great i'm
portance of the Constitutional Amendment,
and we have great hopes that in time the
South will accept it."

The President and the Constitutional
Amendment-The New-York Times.

AAAO ACoAOO4S 0MQ t40 OV0StAtOSAVAA<sA
Amendment The New-York Times.
We publish to-day letter from Washing
ton to the New York Herald, in which it is
stated that Gen. Grant and several members
of the Cabinet are urging the President to
advise the Southern States to accept the
constitutional amendment, as the only course
to quiet the country and prevent further
evils at the hands of the radicals. We give
these statements for what they are worth
One thing is certain, the President owes it
to himself and to his plan to require the
Southern States to present themselves to the
Congress in an Enthusiastically loyal garb.-
The Philadelphia Convention of the 14th of
August held, as he holds, that the States
naust send members of Congress who can
take the oath; and until this is done, his,
plan will not have been carried out. Every
step taken by the President in the work of
restoration was with reference to representa-
ton in Congress. He has repeatedly de-
clared that the members of Congress must
be persons who can "comply with any ex-
listing constitutional or legal test" He still
says this, for he has not retracted or even
modified it. What remains, then, but for
his professed friends who cannot take the
oath, to resign, and let their places be filed
by persons who can take it 2 We agree
with DR.. Jones, of Rowan, " that the man
who is incapable of subordinating his per-
sonal feelings to the good of his country, is
no patriot, and ought not to be trusted"
Mr.. Raymond, Editor of the New York
Times, in his paper of the gath instant, says:
There is not the slightest difference of
opinion, so far as we are aware, in the Union
party, and very little any where else, as to
the wisdom of ratifying the Constitutional
Amendment proposed by Congress. 1t re-
ceived every Union vote in the House. and
is sustained by every Union journal through
out the country
The amendment now awaits the action of
the Legislatures of the several States. 1t is
just in itself, and its adoption, by remedying
injustice and providing for the public safety,
would do much towards tranquilizing pub
lie sentiment, and preparing the way for the
more speedy restoration of peace and har-
mony to all sections of our common Union.
1t is greatly to be regretted that all the
States were not represented in the Congress
by which it was proposed; but it is sub
mitted to them all for their consideration
and action. Nothing would conduce more
to the public peace than its speedy ratiica-
ton, especially by those States which are to
be most directly affected by its provisions"
The above language, letit be remembered,
is from Henry J. Raymond, the author of
the resolutions and address of the Philadel-
phia Convention. Mr.. Raymond voted in
Congress for the Howard amendment. Mr..
Thaddeus Stevens voted against it. Mr..
Stevens does not want the Southern States
to accept it. because he thinks it is not as
severe upon them as it should be.
Let the people know these facts

Soldiers, and SaiIors' Convention at
~ Pittsburg, Ohio.

Soldiers, and Sailors, Convention at
Pittsburg, Ohio.
The proceedings of the first day and
night Of the Soldiers and Sailors Conven-
ticn, at Pittsburg, Ohio, have been received.
We condense as follows:
The delegates, numbering nearly four
thousand, assembled at 10 o'clock, on the
25th inst. There were present large
number of distinguished generals, the bal
ance composed of subordinate officers and
priyates. An enthusiastic welcome was
given to them by the citizens.
A temporary organization was effected
by electing L. Edwin Dudley, of Mass, q
private IN the ranks, chairman. Mr.. Dud-
ley resigned clerkship at Washington to
attend the Convention.
After addresses and music by choir of
one hundred young ladies, the committee
on organization reported Gov. Jacob D.
Cox, of Ohio. formerly commander of the
23d Army Corps, as permanent president.
Gov. Cox was unanimously chosen, and made
speech endorsing the policy of Congress.
A debate was had as to whether an adj
dress should be issued, and decided in the
negative. The committee on resolutions
are expected to report at an early hour.
A prominent feature of the Convention
was an eagle, called "Old Abe" which ac-
companied a Wisconsin regiment through
the whole war. The eagle was perched
prominently over the platform, where the
speaker was seated.
At night grand torch-Gght procession
was had. Transparencies, torches, lanterns
and fireworks Illuminated the City. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Generals Geary,
Farnsworth and Sigel.
Altogether this Convention promises to
be great success.
