We had the pleasure of meeting last Sat
urday, Hon. George Howard, of North Caro-
! lima, one of the delegates at large from that
State to Philadelphia, of whom it is compli-
ment enough to say that he is honored by the
hostility of Misunderstanding Index.
We know of no citizen of this State who,
| fourteen months ago, was more thoroughly
submissive to the national authority than this
same George Howard. But he is now
thoroughly rebellious. He goes to Philadel-
phia to demand" terms for the Southern
States. He is one of those Southern patriots
who fought the Union armies at long taw,
on the Superior Court bench. There are thirty
thousand Union men in this State who have
"never bowed the knee to Baal," who donot
want the Union on the basis proposed by
The Union people of North Carolina have
suffered terribly by the rebellion. They
think they have suffered enough, when it is
remembered they were opposed to the rebel
lion, and did all they could to arrest it and
to secure peace on the basis of a restored
Union But they beg the Northern people,
as last favor, not to put them uader the GOO
ernnsent and control Of such as George Hoaoard,
William 4. Graham, tile Riclmsaad Examiner,
the Petersburg Lnder the South Carolina pre-
cipitatOrs, and the Northern Copperheads.
The Petersburg Iader is one of the most
rebellious and depraved journals in the coun-
try. Its Editor or Editors ought long since
to have been tried and executed for treason.
We should regard the friendship or conf
dence of such journal as a badge of lasting
disgrace. The government of the United
States has heretofore been respected for its
tirmness Its rule has been to encourage its
friends and to punish its enemies But its
enemies now seem to be the favorites, while
its real friends are neglected and forgotten.

clause in the proposed Constitution con-
corning the. new mode of appointing
Justices of the Peace, wherein it is pro-
vided, that &C ut the first County Court
after the election, the term of Office of
the present Justices shall expire" not
withstanding they, like himself, were
appointed during good behavior ?"
The defence of my course upon the
vacation of Offices, now arraigned by
the Judge, has long since been laid he
fore the public. am content to refer
to it for my vindication.
The second part OF the paragraph is
calculated to suggest the insinuation
that my advocacy Of the ordinance va
eating offices, might have been promp-
ted by desire to fill one of them my
self If such may be the inference, [
can assure the Judge, that as one Of my
friends, he need never to think the less of
me, because somebody might believe it.
The most honest men have fallen under
false suspicious. No public man, for
fear of it, ought ever to he frightened
from his duty no truly honest and pa
triotic man ever will be.
The task of my defense against this
suspicion is an easy one. In the first
place, have no accuser at home; and
in the second place, there is no human
being, who can say that [ ever sought
his influence for the exalted Office for
which was supported strongly" If
any person, therefore, should accuse me
of intending such thing, when | sup
ported the ordinance vacating offices, 1
can hear the accusation without feeling
a nerve unstrung, and can sit securely
in my innocency of any such selfish or
unlawful purpose while engaged in the
discharge of public duties. When I
consented to serve in the Convention,
and took the place, with which my con-
stituents honored me, l did so only, be-
cause 1 was induced to believe, that,
from the part had borne in the unhap-
Ply and bloody struggle, Just then end
ed, i'll the complete subjugation of my
State, could be of some aid to reani-
mate it's lifeless form. If 1 shall have
succeeded in any degree, however small
l shall be happy. If shall have failed,
shall ever be consoled by the reflection
that failed in worthy cause.
Respectfully yours,

We publish under our Geographic head
some intelligence from thefrst days meeting
of the Philadelphia Convention. 1t seems
South Carolina and Massachusetts, walked in
" arm in arm" This is gratifying. 1t is
pleasant to see brethren dwelling together
in unity" If the Massachusetts, delegates
who did this, wish to know what is thought
in South Carolina of a Southern Union man,
let them ask these South Carolina delegates
1t seems that Mr.. Vallandigham has retired
from the Convention. The wisdom of the
body is shown In admitting unpardoned
rebel" as delegates, while Northern citizens
who can take the test oath, are excluded.
Admit that the Philadelphia Convention can
carry every Southern State, what would that
amount to? Mr.. jefferson Davis could do
the same thing.

We publish to-day, and shall keep stand
ing for some time on the outside of our pa
per, the material part of the correspondence
between the President and the Provisional
Governor of this State, in 1865. This cor
respondence is official, and is copied from.
Executive Document No 26, 36th Congress,
list session.
We also copy letter addressed to Gov
Graham, and his reply endorsing Mr.. Tur-
her as candidate for Congress This letter
addressed to Gov. Graham, probably written
by Mr.. Turner, assumes that the Provisional
Governor had no authority for saying that
an unpardoned person could not sit in Con-
vention. That officer was thus deliberately
charged with falsehood and Gov Graham,
in noticing the letter, and by his silence in
relation to this charge, implicitly endorsed
it. 1t is also charged that no other Cover
nor had received such Instructions The
document referred to will prove that other
Governors We're instructed. 1t is also
charged or insinuated, that the Provisional
Governors of other. States had received no
instructions that the war debt should be re-
pudiated. The same document will prove
tina t this charge is also unfounded.
The reader will not fail to observe the
defiant and rebellious nature of the letter
addressed to Gov. Graham, on the subject of
the rebel debt. These gentlemen, Messrs.
Turner and Graham, were and are devoted
partizans of Gov Worth, and the latter no
doubt took then, and takes now the same
view of that debt which thew did Gov
Worth has rewarded Mr.. Turner by promls-
| ing him the Presidency of the Central Rail
road, and by bestowing it on Mr.. Webb.

can't understand these market reports. She
can understand how cheese can be lively,

demand in Normandy and the other
parts of the northwest Of France for
oxen, cows, calves and sheep, for Eng
land, is greater than that market can
satisfy, and that purchases are now made
in the south of France. AT Calais, in one
dav, six hundred oxen from the south
were embarked for England; and on an
other day three hundred and eight were
sent off. Considerable numbers of other
animals were likewise despatched.

Few of our readers have any idea of +bo

by the people of tho State of New jersey
VIM. Parry, Esq, formerly of the New Jer
sey Legislature, recently delivered lecture
ON the fruit crops of that State, synopsis of
which we lay before our readers.
Mr.. Parry states that at one place vino
land, four years ago he rode over the ground
then forest; now he had to drive over two
hundred miles of roadway to see the imnrovo
ments already made; foundries. factor;o.
churches, school houses are being erected IL
erary and horticultural societies founded ona
fiourishing newspaper established Tho
basis of all this wealth was fruit-growino
In Ocean county million dollars was :,
vested in raising the Cranberry. Two HIM
dred and fifty bushels to the Aero MO,
average crop, and $3.50 per acre the nro
duct. The speaker knew one Cranba.r,-
farm of 90 acres, which cleared the ovnor; =
one year $4,000, free of all expense.
Of whortleberries and wild blackber,;o,
thousands of bushels were sold in New-yo.,'
City every season. Some gentlemen ran
several teams to that City, each team hap,-
ing from forty to fifty bushels at a time
The domesticated blackberry Yields from
four to five hundred dollars per acre Of
strawberries, five thousand bushels had bean
gathered from five. acres at one picking
The severe winter and late frost injured the
crop last season, and consequently from ten
acres Mr.. Parry gathered less than thou
sand bushels. In 1865, the strawberry crop
brought $32, 500 into Hammonton settlement
alone.
Besides these fruits, Mr.. Parry spoke of
the apple and peach crops, and the grape
He gave the names of the principal varieties
OF each OF these latter, which have origina-
ted In New Jersey. He also stated that
owing to fruit culture, the farm lands of
New Jersey, according to the census of 1860.
were valued at $21 more per acre than those
of any other State
The proximity of the cities of New York
and Philadelphia to the fruit farms of New
Jersey gives her farmers access to the hest
fruit markets in this country. Consequently
while we are astonished at the amount of
money realized in the business, the secret of
the prosperity of the fruit-farmers of that
State is apparent arising from the fortu-
nate position in which her territory has been
placed by the hand of the Creator. But her
people have wisely and theoretically availed
themselves of their position, and are reaping
a golden harvest

We make the following extract from a

We make the following extract from a
speech recently delivered at York, Pennsyl
yania, by Gov. Curtin, of that State:
Then, from away down South leaders of
the Confederate cause. covered with the
blood of the innocent, are to come to the
CITY of Brotherly Love to teach men of the
North their duty. [Groans.] Alexander H.
Stephens has joined the Confederate cause, it
is said, under protest He gives as an ex-
ion. He will be there You might give the
same reason for joining band of horse
thieves, and be banded with such men as
Montgomery Blair, Hunter, Taylor, &C., who
are to tell you what your duty is. A voice I:
you forgot Vallandigham." remember
we'll that man Vallandigham. I remember
when Lincoln sent him to a foreign country,
and when he allowed him to come back. I
trust, nay 1 sincerely hope they may hold
their sessions in peace. [Groans] I should
be extremely sorry to hear any violence of
fered them. I hope they may be allowed to
assemble in their wigwam and then their
very quarrels will burst their machine. You
might as we'll have expected our soldiers in
front of Richmond to sit in convention with
Rebels. 1 say hope they may be allowed to
assemble in peace-I wish they had selected
some other place to meet where public senti-
ment was in their favor. [Applause.] But
on the other hand, read the history of the
French Revolution and you will find nothing
so atrocious as the assault upon and the
murder of those Union men in New Orleans.
That old man Hunt-his name was house
hold word in the United States-there was
no doubt of his loyalty, and yet he was
dragged through the streets of New Orleans,
assaulted, trampled upon and finally locked
in a prison where they confine their murder
ers and convicts. My friends, the spirit from
hell which induced these proceedings is still
alive am for increasing the army Loud
prolonged cheers. If these men will not be
obedient they should be compelled. [Cheers.

GOOD TAsTE.-A great display has recent
ly been made over a monument erected in
Warren County, in this State, to the memory
of daughter of Gen. Lee, who died at
White Sulphur Springs in that County, in
1862. 1t was in every respect appropriate
to erect monument to one SO gentle and
accomplished, but we cannot help thinking
that all display in doing SO should have been
carefully avoided. Gen. Lee was invited to
be present, but excused himself, giving,
among other reasons, the following:
have always cherished the intention of
visiting the tomb of her who never gave me
aught but pleasure; but to afford me the
satisfaction which crave, it must be attend
ed with more privacy than can hope for on
the occasion you propose"
This reply is in good taste We have
been close observer of Gen Lees conduct
since his surrender, and we take pleasure in
saying that he has borne himself in such
way as to conciliate his enemies and attach
his friends more strongly to him.

So it seems Alexander II. Stephens has
gone as delegate to the Philadelphia Con-

of the Blairs, in which he said he did not
know what to do about it. He was in the
same strait about accepting one of the
Georgia Scholarships, but his ambition got
the better of his prudence and he accepted

The result is in doubt. The majority for
or against the Constitution must be small.
If the Constitution has been rejected, its
rejection may be traced mainly to two eau
SEES: First, to repugnance to the federal
authority, and the loyal Convention which
framed the instrument; and secondly, be-
cause the Constitution did not count in the
basis of representation three negroes against
five white men.
