TIONAL LABOR CONGRESS.
BAErIMoRE, Aug. 24, 1866.

In the labor congress to-day, the report
OF the committee of finance was taken up,
looking to a levy OF tax Of tive dollars
on each delegate excepting the Baltimore
Gelepation. After some discussion 1t was
adopted. Fl.
The convention offered resolution pro-
vilns for a full report Of the conference
with the President ot the United States,
which was adopted. e..s
Mr.. Gathers, OF Maryland, Chairman OF
the Committee on Resolutions, submitted
the following:
Whereus, The growing and alarming
encroaching of capital upon the rights OF
the industrial classes OF the United States
having rendered it imperative that they
should calmly ard deliberately devise the
most etfectual and available means by
which the same may be crushed, your
committee would recommend the adoption
of the following resolutions:
Res0lced That the first and grand de-
sideratuln of the hour, in order to deliver
the labor OF the country from this thral
dom, is the adoption Of a law whereby
eight hours shall constitute a legal day s
work in every State OF the American I'M
ion, aud t..at they are determined never
to relax their efforts until this glorious re-
suit is consninmaied.
ResoLvetl. That it IS the imperative du-
ty OF every working man i'll the United
States TO connect himself with this labor
organization If any exists, and where none
exists. to immediately commence the for
nation of the same that it is the equal
duty Of every union to be represented in
trades CIR wnrkingmen's assembly, and
4 -. .-%l,o i,afin al
International organizations where tie
same do net exist. ste
ResoZuc1, That in cooperation we rec
ogrize, a sure and lasting remedy for abli-
ses Of the present industrial system, and
hail, with delight organizations of co-ope-
rative stores and workshops in this coun
try.a and would urge their, formation III
every section of tho country, and i'll every
branch OF business.
Resolved, That the system of, prison la
Dor which is practiced through put this
country is not only injurious to the produ.
cling classes, bnt it is an invitation for
mean employers to contract with the gov
eminent for cheap labor; and honorable
mechanics not being able to compete with
this class of labor and support their fami
lies, are obliged to seek q living elsewhere,
much ia their Inconvenience, aud we
would recomnnend. that the, public be re-
quested not TO patronize parties who con.
tract fortpriscn labor, except they pay the
rate Of wages demanded by mechanics
Reso1yea, That we pledge our individu-
al and undivided support to the sewing

THE DESTINY OF NORTH CARO-
* TINA att 1t 541t rft.t rses

We considered few days ago The water !
power of Virg ginia> which upbraids US in
every ripple with the sight of those unde-
veloped resources, which, in the future,
must make this Commonwealth the seat OF.
vast manufacturing inter ests; and to day
we turn to brief consideration OF the wa
ter power OF North Carolina. -
This State presents very much the same
Typographical features which, were consid-
cred in our previous article. The water
sheds OF the Alleghanies turn off streams
which rush down every valley and swell
into rivers, all capable Of turning driving
wheels, and plying innumerable tilt ha,n-
lners aid spindles. The two, 'Yadkins,
the Dan, the Neuse, the Cape Fear, Deep
and Haw rivers, and nunlberless other
streams combine to make up an untold
wealth Of waterpower. And, to turn
aside for a moment from the matter spe-
cially in hand, there can be no doubt that
the day is not very remote when the Old
North State, already in better financial
condition than any Of her sisters, will real
ize the grand vision OF "Inland Naviga-.
ton" which rose before the mind of Judge
Murphy These various streams and their
tributaries, howeveE, have already been
put to e bod use and the traveller in Wes-
! tern North Carolina is often astonished to
find prosperous factories of cottorAor wool
en- goods situated in the most remote. and
inaccessible regions. White labors is
principally employed in these mills, and
causes are at work which must make the
State ons Of the very foremost in the
South in the manufacture of the fabrics
we have named. These streams and
rivers re so near the cotton, growing re-

our readers to hear that the Confederate
Government, in the last year Of the war,
drew its main supplies .ot cotton goods

the price, and greatly damaging parties in his DO.

The Newspaper "Striise" in Richmond.


EFFORT OF THE PUBLISHERS TO DECREASE PRICES
! THE sTRIEE-ALL PAPERS TEMPORARILY SITS
PENDED.
The newspapers of Richmond, the proprietors
of which, reversing the usual order of things by
striking against their employees for lower wages
are still unpublished. letter from Richmond to
the Petersburg Express says:
The want OF newspapers IS sensibly felt here to-
day. The auctoneers probably feel their indebt
edness to the press more forcibly than any other
class. Several novel modes of advertising have
been adopted by them to-day. At the Times
office a bulletin has been up directing the public
attention to sales to take place to-day; and So

| A new paper the Citizen--a neat little daily of
| sixteen columns made its appearance this morn
! ing. 1t is issued by joint stock company Of
first issue defends the course of the printers of
the city III refusing to submit to the reduction of
wages and claims to be the mechanics friend.
The printers say in their behalf:
In resting this matter with tie people, tis asso-
citation of journeymen printers disayow any at
tempt to lniure the prospects of the newspaper
press of the city: it is upon the simple MAXIM of
''live and let live (" and in defense Of their own
rights thus jeopardized by the undue number Of
Richmond journals that their movement is based.
Inc pFopFletOrs OF the hlchmOnd wing, I'm
quirer, Dispatch. Times, Republic and Examiner
say. in justification of their course: ~
The wages paid to the employees Of our re-
spective offices have been greater than the busi
ness will afford. We have never refused to make
liberal compensation for service rendered and
lave always acceded to their application for an,
increase. But the present difficulty of the mails,
the scarcity. OF money among the people, and the
enormous price of white paper-more than double
what il was before the war-have visited their
natural inconvenience upon newspaper enter
prises and imposed the necessity Of every just
economy. The wages of compositors have never
theless, been about sixty per centum above
those paid before the war. .., I r
1t would have been impossible for us to CON
tinue prices so much above the earnings of former
times, or in other pursuits, without increasing
largely the terms of our several publications This
we did not think either just or practicable : and
refusing to dot, or to wrong ourselves by paying
rates which cannot be afforded, we involved in
the necessity Of suspending our issues until we
can make new arrangements. We have instituted
energetic measures for the accomplishment of this
with the least possible delay, and WILL in few
days serve our friends as heretofore.
The correspondent of the Express adds:
1t is said that the editors of the city lave dubbed
together, pulled off their coats and gone to work
to "get out" joint newspaper, at the Times
office tomorrow morning.

A number Of our citizens have told US within a
past week that specimen copies of Forney's Chron-
icle had come to their address through the post
office, and attached to each the following persua-
sve little billet doux:
WASHINGTON D c., March %, 1866
Ma Dear Sri will be much obliged to you
for your personal influence in extending the circu-
lation of the Chronicle among your friends. 1t is
my purpose to make the Chronicle sentinel on
the watch tower at the National capital during
the elections for State and National officers be-
tween now and the Presidential contest, and as the
struggle will be animated do not hesitate to ask
the aid of all the earnest friends of the Republic.
The principles upon which the Chronicle is con-
dncted, and the terms will be found in the pros
pectus accompanying the specimen number.
,a Very respectfully yours,
JOHN W. FoRSEY.
We do not know who furnished Mfr. Forney with
the list of persons to whom he has sent his
obliging missive, but he appears to have been
singulary unfortunate for none Of those that have
received it here, and who belong here, are likely
to give him their E personal influence in extend
ing the circulation of the Chronicle among their
friends" One of them is an eX-Confederate Gen
eral, another gentleman who lost beloved son
in the war which Forney and his Chronicle bounded
on against the South, and all Of them entertaining
profound contempt for the character Of the po-
an &equal disgust for the diabolical prin
ciples and aims of the paper itself. 1t dis
plays GOODNESS worthy of the man to attempt tc
gain support for his paper among people fol
whose political ruin and disgrace it IS plotting
We suppose any "rebel'' who should take his
paper and pay for it might be pronounced suf
fciently Reconstructed - to earn the approba
ton of Mr.. Forney and mayhap he thinks the pat
ronage and support of Southern men may be
bought by this boon of approval from the organ
of their enemies.
But we think he will find that the paper and ink
he is gratuitously distributing out this way will moi
pay expenses, much less return proits-in short
it is a dead Duck " enterprise. He has made
his bed with the mortal enemies of the South, and
he must sink or swim with them.-[Mobe Reg

THE PRESIDENTS PRocLAMATIoN.-The legal
effects of the Presidents recent proclamation
declaring the war at an end, are much wider and
more ramifed than would at first sight be sup.
posed. There are several acts of Congress that
have their existence dependent upon the duration
of the war. The joint resolution of Congress
approved February 8, 1865, excluded eleven
States from participation in Presidential cleo
tons, because they had been declared in nsur-
rection. The act of March 8, 1865, creating the
freedmen's bureau, expires by its own enactment
one year after the end of the rebellion. An act
of March 8, 1868, authorized the President.
during the present rebellion, whenever in his
Judgment the public safety might require itn to
suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas cor
pus and President Lincoln's proclamation of Sep
tember Is, 1868, suspending the writ, declared
that the suspension should =" continue throughout
the duration of such rebellion" or until this pro-
clamation SHALL by a subsequent one to be issued
by the President Of the United States, be mod
fed or revoked" The recent proclamation of
President johnson also changes the army and
navy from a war to peace footing, reducing
officers pay for communication, for rations, forage
and horses, to which those of high grades in the
army are entitled. In addition to the laws men.
toned above, there are quite number of other
acts, such as those relating to the militia the
national forces, drafting etc., which have refer.
ence only to the continuance of the war

THE PEABODY CHARITY. - Recently the American
banker in London, Mr., Peabody, gave slO0, 900, OF
nearly 100000, for the benefit Of the poor Of Lon
don. Prior to that he had made similar donations
for the same purpose the aggregate gift in ali
amounting to 81 ,250, 900. The London Times very
truly says that since the world began, there has
not been SO muni6cent gift:from any private ind
vidual. 1t stands out as an entirely exceptional
case the history Of such charitable deeds. The
London correspondent of the Richmond Times
says: @
There is one feature in the case which distin
gushesi it, Others have given large sums Of money
the most of such cases the gifts take effect only
when the possession Of the money or estate cannot
longer remain with the gver In this instance the
gift made during the life time Of the granter He
voluntarily strips himself of one million two hun
bred andfifty thousand dollars in American specie
money; foregoes all the pleasures and the power
70 be derived from the use Of such sum in the
binary mode, that good to others may be done with
it, to make himself the friend of the poor of Lon
don--those who strive manfully in the unequal
battle with the world.
To such man as he, the real enjoyment to be
derived from the belief thatf for years and years
to come SO many hearts will swell with gratitude
at the bare mention Of his name, is doubtless far
beyond all the pleasures usually purchased by the
millionaire. The prayers which will ascend to the
most High In his beh are more to be priced than
any crown in Europe. BY the partial employment
of this fund, as have heretofore detailed to you,
over eight hundred and fifty people have been res
cued from the disease, degradation and dirt from
which they suffered in their former habitations.
This is about one-fourth Of the good that will re-
suit when the whole Of the fund shall have been
expended. 94t8 s,s.5
