and words and acts in Congress were
only the insults added to injury. And
to this day, those delegates are still
unrecognized. We are atill treated
with indifference and seorn, notwith-
standing tho Presidents pardon, and
the sacredness of our solemn oaths.
And now VIC arc invited to enter in
to Convention Of delegates from all
the States Can VIC accept tho invita-
tion! If we are loyal" we can.
But loyal to what i? Why to the
"Oliicial Call" for National Conven-
ton.
What is our great charge against
tic Congress now in session! 1t is
that they have addcd conditions prccc-
dent to our enjoyment Of the right Of
representation which The Constitution
guarantees. VOL 50 have done the
cndorsers Of the Official Call. See
what they say.
|'lSut no delegate vii take scat iii
such Convention who does not Loyalty
accept the national situation and cor
daily endorse the principles above
set forth, and who is not attached, IN
true allegiance, to the Constitution,
the Union and The Government of tho
United States"
The language of this seal to our
delegations credentials fCrcbodes en-
barrassmcnt to any who may be scut to
that Convention from the South. The
"national situation" is susceptible of
a broad Interpretation. "rhc princi-
pies above set FORTH" is indicative of
scll-conlcmnation TO our delegates.
AS much as We hope the Convention
shall meet, and as much as we believe
;hat amy action on its part to save the
Constitution and the Union, will meet
with hcarty "Amcn" at the South,
We do.not sec that it will prove the
best for us OF the excluded States to
enter that Convention.

That Convention.

The Augusta Constituhonol,,a of the
9th instant sHys, in alluding to the re-
cent call for a National Convention
"Givc us the Federal Constitution
pure and simple-standing serene and
beautiful in y majesty that never did
anybody harm-sullor us to substitute
'law-abiding' for sloyal' and We arc
with you. But not otherwise"
These arc our sentiments precisely.
We are as much disposed to rcconcilia-
tion as any man in the United States.
We heartily endorsed every action of
The State last year, and Of the Provis-
ional Governor, to rchabilitatc the Sc
cedins State. We felt deeply con-
ecrnod-in hcr fully coming up to
every reasonable demand from the
North to give guarantees for the fu-
turc. Those guarantees were uno-
quiyocally given in our abolishing
slavery, by adopting the Constitutions
al amendment, and by other acts con-
sistcnt with tho demands of the con-
quorcrs. While it is true that tho
Civil Rights Bill or tho Civil Code,
was the best course perhaps with the
lights thon before our lawmakers, yet
the sequel has shown conclusivcly that
thatact was premature, and it will
undoubtedly have to be greatly medi-
fed.
Well we sent representatives from
our State to tho Federal Congress,
supposing that, tho war over, there
would bo no hesitancy on the part of
Congress to repeal the Test Oath.
In that we were most egregiously mis-
taken. Our delegates were spurned,

Reply TO Questions.

Mn. EDlroR The UcruM of the
20th instant contains somc questions
to farmers some of these am una
bic satisfactorily to answer at present,
but | proceed to answer such rs ] can,
believing thereby | am contributing my
mite n support Of a laudablc object.

others, as observation and inquiry may
cnabh me.
lst. You ask, 'slIow much land
have You planted, and how much in
comparison with lSG0?" In the
ncighlorhood from which I write l
know 'cw who have planted more,
and few who have planted less than in
1860. ] think tho aggregate amount
is abo,t the same, perhaps rather less.
Then md now ID acres is about the
amount planted for one hand to cult
vato.
2nt, "llow muc! in cotton, corn
and ohcr crops I" In general, some
thing less than half the crop planted
in this section iscotton; of The fifteen
acrcs,say six in cotton, eight in corn
and pas, one in potatoes and other
minol crops, of which less than one
half potatoes. | said, eight in corn
and pas, for peas arc seldom planted
separately and then only in small
quantities. but the entire lands plant
ed with corn arc again planted with
peas, cosc beside the corn and be-
tween he hills, about two months af-
ter the heprincipal crop is planted in
this way an acre will yield about ono
bushcl ,f peas to four or five in corn.
Only asmall quantity of cane for the
production of syrup, is in cultivation
this Year.
3D.. How many of those formerly
aGrvaMs have accepted employment as
freedmen laborcrs under the former
employers ?"
a l'Fgo majority have; most of tho
changes made on plantations where
the laigc2t number were, being made
to bring families together. Some of
tho larger plantations may afford en-
ceptiom to this general statement.
individual changes havo occurred
from other causes.
| think, in general, the tendency is
toward more equal distribution Of
the laborers on plantations, many Of
the larger having less, and of the
smaller, moro, in number than formcr,
~ 1t is probable that this tendency
will increase, and tho result may be
favorable to productio"
Crops are in quite backward con-
dition, owing chiefly to an excess Of
humidity in the soil, caused by heavy
rains in April and May, and the con-
scquent inability to clear and culti-
vate them properly during that time.
This remark applies particularly to
cotton, of which, more than half
crop can not reasonably be expected.
Corn is improving, and, iftho weather
ec favorable during the making sea-
son (thc next six weeks) nearly an
average crop may bc made,

every lever the centre of motion is at
the fulcrum. In, wheel in motion
the point always touching the ground
is the fulcrum of series of levers al-
ways changing. And as that point is
tho common fulcrum of all the levers,
it follows that all parts of the wheel
arc moving around this common con-
trc Of motion. The top OF the wheel
corresponds with the extremity Of the
long arm Of the lever, and being farth-

The Union Convention.

we were surprised that our able
contemporary, the Charleston Ne,0s,
advocated an earnest cooperation on
our part with tho orginators of The
National Convention, especially as we
supposed it did it with the light of
that call before its eyes. it will be
seen from tic extract below that the
eyes of The Ne,vs has been opened to
some strange announcement. But We
are more surprised that the Nc,cs
should still urge our cooperation with
that Convention. If that body will
tolerate none who hpyc boon disunion-
lists, is it not clear, tli\t however con-
ciliatory their pretcnsions, they cx-
pcct none to presume to ask admit

not always dcclaimcd for the inviola-
eility of the Unipn 7 re urge the
excluded States to accrcdit commits
sioncrs to that body seems to us to
court humiliation, We sent good men
and true to Congress, and they were
spurncd and rejected, Shall we send
delegates to Philadelphia en- the llth
of August to be similarly treated !!
We hope not. We hope the South
will maintain what little rcspcc. Is
lefthcr, and that she will not place
herself in positions where naught but
humiliation and disgrace await her.

W Satncf from our exchanges ana
adopt the following historical account
of the origin of the difficulty that
promises to involve the whole of Eu-
rope in mortal strife.
We do not propose to follow the
dispute thro' all its ramlicutions.
An "cxhaustivo" treatise upon it
would fill several volumes. But thc
giSt of it is this The Duchics Of
Schicswig and lEolstcin arc subject to
thcS Sale law, which prohibits
woman from rcigning. In 400 they
were inherited by the King of Den
mark, and they remained in the hands
of his descendants until the time of
Frederick VII, who died in 1868
with him the direct male line tcrmi-
mated, and the Duchics legally revert
cd to the young Duke Of Augustcn-
burg. In Wow of this contingency,
however, a conference Of the great
powers was held in London, in 1852 at
which it was resolved for various con-

LIFE LEAVES.

lS The day, with it's sandals dipped in dew, Has passed through the evenings golden
 gates. A n6 y And g single star in the cloudless blue [ For the rising moon in silence waits; While the winds that sigh tothe ianguid hours A lullaby breath OCT the folded fowers. Tho 1ilIies nod to the sound of the stream That winds along with lulling flow, And either awake, or half a dream, I pass through the realms of Long Ago; While faces peer with many a smile From the bowers of Memory's magical isle. There are joys and sunshine, sorrows and
 tears
 That check the path of life's April hours, And longing wish for the coming years, That hope ever wreaths with the fairest
 flowers:
 There are friendships guileless--love as bright; And pure as the stars in the halls of night.

There are asIlen memories, bitter pain,

There are ashen memories, bitter pain, And buried hopes and broken vow, And an aching heart by the reckless main, And the sea-breeze flaming pallid brow And wanderer on the shell-lined shore, Listening for voices that speak no more Thore arc passions strong, and ambitions
 wild
 And the fierce desire to stand in the van Of the battle of life--and the heart of the
 child w
 Is brushed in the breast of the struggling
 man,
 Bnt short are the regrets and few arc the tears, That fall al the tomb of the banishcd years. And joys arising from faith and truth, And truth unquestoning, far above The passionate dreamings of ardent youth, And kisses of children on lips and cheek, And the parents bliss which no tongue can
 speak. 8* There are loved ones lost There are little
 graves
 In the distant dell, meath protecting trees, Where the streamlet winds, and the violet
 waves,
 And the grasses sway to the signing breeze; And we mourn for pressure of tender lips, And the light of eyes darkened in death s
 eclipse. And thus, as the glow of the daylight dies, And the nights first look to the earth is
 cast,
 l gaze, meath those beautiful summer skies, At the pictures that hang in the hall of the
 past; Oh, Sorrow and Joy, chant mingled lay When to memory's wild wood we wander
 away.
