ExERcIsEp.-The opposition papers at the
Bay have watched the proceedings OF the
Democratic nominating convention with
much inlerest-a marked contrast TO the in.
difference with which they treated such as
sembages during the previous four years
an indication that the Democracy, this year,
is lion ia the path Of the Radicals that in
spires them with fear and trembling. The
opposition have seized upon every little diff
ference Of opinion in the Democratic con-
vention, and heralded it as a prem onilon
that it was about to break mp in a row; but
the convention having disappointed these
prophesies by nominating full ticket, after
foil deliberaton, these sapient journals conf
sole themselves by announcing the ticket to
be exceedingly weak. That is a question to
be tested in September-an1 we incline
strongly TO the belief, that however weak the
Democratic ticket may be found, the Rad
cal ticket will be found much weaker And
this beliefis beginning to force itself into the
caputs Of many Of .be so-caled Unionis!s.

and took the Colonel wholly by surprise
President Johnson must be a man Of rare
discernment to be able, without solicitation
to discover the qualifications of such an un'
obtrus:ve gentleman as Col. Bowie, for this
distant mission. We wonder now, if all the
Col. Bowie, were unsolicited surprises.

EUROPEAN NEws.-The report Of the early

The company are now taking out quantity

The NAr.oxAI Coxvsxr,os.-Tbe Phila.

THE NArIoxAL CoNvgyrl0N.-Tbe Phila.
dslphia National Convention, to convene on
the l4.h Of August, is attracting the general
attention of the country. From accounts,
throughout the North the Democracy are
moving, and sending their most prominent
men as representatives. Tie Republicans,
who support the Presidents policy are aso
taking an active part. Tue action being
taken in the Southern States, is not announ-
ced in the dispatches, but il is presuuable
they will be fully represented.
This Convention is very annoying to the
Radicals-beirg flank movement that has
taken them wholly BY surprise, and added to
the Generalization already existing in their
ranks. The bold front they have assumed
in Congress. is not at all justified by any
strength they possess with the people; and
the call for convention. upon the broad
Union grounds announced, will be the means
Of reaching the masses of the people who
will now take the opportunity to express
their sentiments through their chosen dele
gates. and no longer DO misrepresented BY
men. who. although happening to be ma
jori'y in Congress, are but a faction repre-
senting but a small minority of the nation
The Convention can te made capable of
accomplishing much good for the country
and it will be the hope Of truly national
men that moderation and wisdom will pre-
vail in directing it to harmonious counssls.

UNLOCKING THE RoCXs.-1he great cost of sill
yer and gold arises not so much from their search
ty in the earth, as the difficulty Of extracting
them from their stony combinations. Dr. j. c.

and received the gratitude of hall mankind, by
his remedies that cure their diseases, he is now
winning the other half, by opening for Them an
easy roa, to the eXhaustcss treasures of the hills
He has discovered and published a chemical pro-
ce-s, which renders at little cost, the hardest
rocks and ores are made iriable like chalk, SO
that the precious metals are loosed from their con-
inement, aud easily gathered. Mines too poor 10
pay, may be worked at profit now, and the yield
of rich mines is largely increased while the cost
OF extracting the metals from the ore, is dimin-
ishcd. Either is great achievement to enrich
mankind, Or cure their diseases. But we are in

Destitution in Alabama.

The Baltimore Sun says. renewed accounts
reach US from Alabama Of the great destitu-
ton, resulting in much suffering, and in
some instances. absolute starvation. The
condition of the poor there appeals loudly
10 the sympathies Of all benevolent people,
and prompt measures should be taken to ex,
tend reliet to them. The people of Balti'
more have done much for the sufferers in
the South generally, but of course our aid
has gone mostly to those more accessible
sections reached by way Of the coast, and
our steam lines. Far in the interior, in the
isolated districts in Alabama, a traveller
thu ough the Coosa valley, tells of the emaci
ated poor women. with their nearly naked
children, picking wild vegetables from which
to make meal for themselves, and in reply
to questions, declaring that there had not
been an ounce of meal or meat in their hou.
ses for many days-women aud children,
whose husbands and fathers had been slain
in the war, living entirely for week at a
time upon boiled greens, with neither salt
nor pepper. They declared that they had
no way to live, and could not get seed to
plant their gardens. One old decrepid fs
male was met, clothed in a worn wrapper OF
coarse domestic, carrying on her back a sack
containing half bushel of meal, which she
had brought 8 miles from Guntersville; he,
four sons had been killed, two Of them ieav-
ing families. and the mother Of one Of these
families having since died. the old grand
mother had four children which were left to
take care Of A boy, who was found with a
half peck of meal which he had carried five
miles said they had had no meat at his
house since August, Of last year, and they
only had an average of peck week of the
meal now given them, and he declared that
the people all around were as bad off rs his
own family.
To such variations no human soul can be
Indifferent, and they seem to call for a
prompt and special effort in order that re-
lief may be afforded and life be saved. The
idea of women and children thus agonzed
and starving in a land of plenty, with two
great sections-the North and West-over
running with abundance and their people
reveling in extravaganza aud luxury, is hor
ror SO great that it ought to inspire action
on every hand
