Grand Army Of the Republic.
Prinefples Of the OrganizatiOn--The
HesokutiOns Adopted rs the
3 Late Meeting

The following are the resolutions adopted
BY the National Convention Of the Grand
Array Of the Republic: ~. ~. /.
/. That the Grand Army of the Republic
is organized to maintain in civil life those
great principles for which it stood in arms
under the national flag; that it stahds
pledged to crush out active treason, TO Rd-
vance and support active loyalty, TO secure
sound constitutional liberty to all men, and
to yindicate everywhere, and at all times,
the full and complete rights of every loyal
American citizen against all combinations
Of force or fraud that may attempt TO deny
or deprive him of such rights.
2. Fiat we pledge all the power and In
Auence which, as individuals or as an asso--
citation, we can legitimately WELD in the
most special manner to those gallant men
who st9od fast by their country in Its hour
ofagonF, in the rebellious States, and who,
through all manner of losses and injuries,
possessions by force and prosecutions under
color d Law, maintained their integrity and
yindicaled their loyalty; and we sOlemnly
declare that no power that we can use shall
be neglected until they are thoroughly and
completely protected in the active exercise
of the rights of the American freemer,
through the entire country over which our
flag floats. t..at 81
8. That Congress, in justice and not in
charity, should pass law equalizing in a
just manner the bounties of all Union SOL
diers and sailors.
4. That We now, as heretofore, pledge our
selves to use our best endeayors to procure
appropriate State and national legislation
for the education and maintenance Of the or
phans and widows of deceased comrades and
manned brethren, and to enforce a speedy
adjustment and payment Of all lawful claims
against the Government due soldiers and
sailors and their heirs. fi..
3. That in our opinion no man is worthy
to be free citizen of free country who Is |
not willing to bear arms in its defense, and |
we, therefore, suggestto Congress the passage
Of law making it the memorable duty oil
every citizen to defend his country, in time
of need, in person and not by substitute.
8. That, as matter Of justice and right, |
and because the sacrifice made and dangers
encountered by the Union soldiers and sail
ors who served in the late war for the pre-
servation of the country cannot ever be fully /
repaid, we respectfully ask that those in au-
Ihority bestow upon needy and worthy sol
tiers and sailors, such positions Of honor and
profit as they may be competent to fill, and,
while we seek nothing for ourselves and
hose of our comrades who are able to main
ain themselves, we do earnestly recommend
his request to the consideration of all in au-
hority, and we especially ask the attention
If The President to his policy heretofore de-
dared on this subject.

strOyed, Etc.
NEW York, Nov. 23.-The effects of the
late hurricane in the Bahama Islands are
set forth by the Governor in his speech to
the Legislature. He says: have lost no
time in collecting and making public cor
rect information as to the raYages of the
storm in the Island. Suffice it here to say,
that upwards of six hundred dwellings have
been destroyed, and an equal number in
jured that scarcely public building has
escaped injury; that many places of wor-
ship and school houses have been blown
down and have all been damaged; that
majority of the principal workhopses and
stores in this city have been thrown down
or severely injured that of the two hun
dred and forty-two vessels and boats which
foated in the harbor on the morning of the
lst Of October all but one had sunk or been
driven ashore before the next day had
dawned, and that one hundred and eighty
nine Of them have been broken up or greatly
injured that the standing crops of pro-
visions and fruits have been destroyed, the
orchards partially uprooted, and the fields
and gardens to great degree laid bare.
These islands generally exhibit a similar
spectacle. The sum of $4,000 was voted
by the Legislature to repair damages The
work of restoration is progressing rapidly.

Rumor that France VIII not Consent to
the Withdrawal Of Her Troops from
MexIeO--The Cotton Frauds, Etc.
New YORK, Nov. PA Herald's WASH
ington special says: 1t is intimated in Of
fetal circles that the French Govern
ment has declared its purpose not to abide
by the arrangement concluded with Mr.
Seward, to withdraw the French troops from
Mexico this fall, and postpoBes the with
draWal till next spring. 1t is believed that
this was the subject before the cabinet yes
terday. fte
The arrest of 0rtega turns out to have
been a voluntary act on the part Of General
Sheridan, but It has been approved by the
Government. 1t appears that Ortega is
merely the instrument of only a small
clique of French and British merchants who
are anxious to secure the trade of Mexico,
and to prevent il from falling into the Amer
lean hands. The native population unani-
mously adhere to Juarez.
The cotton frauds, as developed in the in
vestigatiOns by the Retrenchment Commit

The business of smuggling on the Canadian
and Rio Grande borders is rapidly declining

A Southern Industrial Congress Pro

A Southern Industrial Congress Pro
posed.
WIN. NJ. BURwELL, of Va, delivered the
inaugural address at the opening of the Ne
chanics' and Agricultural Fair at New Or
leans, on the 10th inst. He considered the
"SOcial and Political Economy of the
South " in a most able, comprehensive and
elaborate manner, treating, under appropri-
ate heads, all the great interests involved.
In conclusion, he propounded the following
proposition
There is another agency, Mr.. President,
which this Association may offer to the
South. An Industrial Congress of the
Southern people, At this meeting the
South might determine on an industrial sys-
tenn adequate to the era. 1t might assign to
each section of the South such pursuits as
were adapted to its climate and soil. Nav

tributiOn? |. To all the staple States the
production of those staples whatsoever il
may be profitable. 2. To Virginia, Mary
land, Kentucky and Tennessee, the building
of villages, and the organization of mechan-
ical employments. 8. To the hill country
of the cotton States, especially the CONVEX
sion of cotton into cloths. 4. To the city of
New Orleans, the Venice Of the South Seas
and her sister cities which gem the Gulf the
conduct of Southern commerce.

lectual and industrial development-wit

ern progress which prevail elsewhere. If

ard and objects Of Southern civilization.
shall become the care of the statesman, tn
theme of the scholar, and the field of hon.
orable and useful ambition, there can be no
doubt of the successful introduction of a sys-
tenn which has led Peel, Golden, Gin
ton, and Seward to power and distinction
at the same time, the failure to recognize its
importance has brought death, bondage and
ruin upon the truest, the freest, and the most
virtuous people the world has ever known.
Such polity of improvement, of employ
ment, of charity, Of liberty, cannot be un-
worthy the heart or intellect any pa
triot
If you gentlemen, and others like YOU
shall decree this change, it will soon be i'm
pressed on the country. 1t will soon find
men in the public councils
Make, then, these issues of progress in all
your votes. Support no man for Office who
can do nothing for his country save to drink
its health; who can do nothing for his con-
stltuents except secure better salary for
himself or public rations for his relations.
Put useful issues in the press and in the
elections, and your voice will soon be heard.
Take these simple and obvious means TO put
the education and employment Of the peo-
pie before the people. Hold up this system
Of prosperity and independence as an en-
blenl and an example which an afflicted
people may look upon and live, and we may
hope for future in whose happiness and |
'afety all the storms and sorrows Of the past
will be forgotten.

FROM the LeOanOn Herald
GBrYTBURG.-We are requested 10 make
the inquiry: What Confederate brigade
opened the battle of Gettysburg; and, en-
the third days fight, what .brigades sue
ceedcd in getting into the Federal works p
N. y. Metropolitan Record.
We answer that Archer's brigade, COM
posed Of the 1st 9TH and 14th Tennessee
regiments, the 18th Alabama and the 9Th
Alabama battalion opened the engagement,
and that they were the first to enter the
Federal works. This brigade, made UP of
the best fighting material in the army Of
Gen. Lee, and commanded by the gallant
General Archer, of Maryland, never re-
ceiYed proper credit for the valuable
services it rendered the holy cause in which
it was enlisted, and, being members of it
We will surely be excused for
taxing the advantage here offered to render
it small amount of justice due il. We are
aware that the Virginia papers, during the
war aud since, have claimed this honor for
Pickett's division; this has never been de-
MED, simply because the Tennesseeans never
had an organ through which to assert their
claims.

Justice TriuInDhant.

From the Atlantic Inteligeneer.
Our readers viii remember that an aggra-
yated case of false Imprisonment, in which
J. c. Keys and his son, and Mr.. Byrum, of
South Carolina, and Mr.. Showers. of Hart
county, Georgia, were arrested, charged with
the murder of three United States soldiers
near Andersonville, South Carolina. The
evidence against them was given in by a
parcel Of yagabond negroes, and the case was
tried before military commission at Charles
ton. The result of the trial was that ]. c.
Keys and Mr. Showers should be hung. and
Robert Keys and Byrum be imprisoned for
life. The prisoners were confined in Castle
Pinckney, in Charleston harbor, when the
matter was referred to the President. who
ordered an indefinite respite At this stage
of the matter, there was collision of au-
thority between the General commanding
the Military Department, (Sickles) and the
Judge of the United States District Court.
1t is not important, however, that we should
make iurther allusion to that Circumstance
now. The prisoners were in most mys-
FERROUS manner transferred from Castle Pinck-
ney to the Dry Tortugas. in which living
tomb they remained for the period Of two
months, when, by a special order of the
President, they were removed to Fort Del
aware The case was then taken up in the
United States District Court Of Maryland,
and ably defended by M3jor H. Tomp-
kins, of Illinois, son-in-law Of our fellow

Oners triumphantly acquitted.
