I. That Convention.

The Augusta Constitutionalist Of the
9th instant says, in alluding to the re-
cent call for a National Convention:
s'Giye us the Federal Constitution
pure and simple--standing serene and
beautiful in majesty that never did
anybody harm--suffer us to substitute
law-abiding' for sloyal' and we are
with you. But not otherwise"
These are our sentiments precisely.
We are as much disposed to reconcilia-
tion as any man in the United States.
We heartily endorsed every action Of
the State last year, and Of ttheI ProNis-
ional Governor, to rehabiHtate the Sc
osding State. We felt deeply aoon-
cernedAin her fully coming up to
every reasonable demand from the
North to give guarantees for thefa-
&ure. Those guarantees were nne-

try for a casual view Of the crops in the
lower part Of the District. To say that
we nave never seen as poor prospect,
but feebly expresses the opinion forced
upon us. There is, on the farms we
examined closely, not over half the
stand OF cotton, which looks sickly and
bad, and is almost irrecoverably in the
grass. Bottom land has bsen so wet
and so often overaowed that the pros.
pect is poor on them. Upland corn
loods fair but needs rain now, which
would however lnjure cotton. Farmers,
as . class, are often said to grnmble from
habit and to look oh the dark side. But
we cannot but say that AL the accounts
we get from them, from our own OBJ.

MAXlMlLIAN.-A correspondent Of
the New York Tribune, writing from
the City of Mexico, says;
"The Emperor, man thirty.seven
years old, is one Of the largest men in
the city tall, straight. and vii proper,
toned, an expert in all manly exercises
especially as horseman and swordsman;
and possessed Of immense physical
strength, which, when he chooses to
exercise it, has excited the admiration
of his staff and the French Zouave off.

ing in which bravery and personal en-.
durance were required. His face is
broad, refined in its expression, and
beanlihg with good hunour; and above
all there is a look Of genuine benevo
lence and kindness which seldom fails
to win those with whom he comes in
contact. The large blue eyes are full
of intelligence, while the high, expan
siyeforehead indicates a great brain

mistaken in his estimate of men, whose
character he generally penetrates at the
first interview. While Governor Of

the Italians detested the Austrian rule.

quivocally given in our abolishing
slavery, by adopting the Constitution
al amendment, and by other acts cons
sistent with the demands of Sthescon-S
qucrors. While At is true that the
Civil Rights Bill or the Civil Code,
was the best course perhaps with the
lights then before our law-makcrs,y yet
the sequel has shown conclusively that
that act was premature, and it viii
undoubtedly have to be greatly modi-
fednI ,.,. 81 g..
Well we sent representatives from
our State to the Federal Congress,
surprising that; The war over, there
would BIO no hesitancy on the part Of
Congress to repeal tho Test Oath.
In that we were most legregiously mis-
taken. Our delegates were spurned,
and words and acts in Congress we're
only the insults aided TO injury. And
to this day, those delegates are still
uureeognized. We arc still treated
with Indifference and scorn, notwith-
standing the Presidents pardon, and
the sacredness of our solemn oaths.
And now we are invited to enter in
to a Convention Of delegates from all
tho States Can we accept the invita-
tion2 If we are "loyal" we can i.
But loyal to what? Why to the
"Of6cial Call" for a National Convcn--
ton.
What is our great charge against
the Congress now in session? 1t is
that they have added conditions proce-
dent to our enjoyment of the right of
representation which the Constitution
guarantees. Well 80 have done the
cndorsers of the Official Call. SEQ
what they say.
"But no delegate will take seat in
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 the
United States."i !g.y tssw
The language of this seal TO our
delegations credentials forebodes en-
barrassment to any who may be sent to
that Convention from the South. The
''national situation"is is susceptible of
a broad Interpretation. "The princi-
Piles above set FORTH" is indicative of
self-condomnation to our delegates.
AS much as We hope the Convent on
shall meet, and as much as we believe
that any action on it's part to save the
Constitution and tho Union, will meet
with a hearty "Amcn" at the South,
we do not see that it will prove the
bcst for us of the excluded States to
enter that Convention.

to know that the skins, tusks and bones,
which have so long kept company together,
are not now dispersed. They have passed,

We are advised that there are hun.

lighter kinds. The men are very han6y
