There was great rejoicing, at Berlin, over the
alleged Prussian victory, and the people pre-

of the 27Gh and 2Sth, killing and woundng a

Grand Pow-wow of Editors, Publish
ers and Printers.

Some months ago We suggested a Convention
of the. Press Of South Carolina. Lately the
Grecnville Enterprise and the Anderson Appeal
have Aatteringy seconded Our Suggestion. Will
not our contemporaries generally say word pro
or con? Such Convention, if.unanimoua, might
he productive of great good. If however, only a
paper here and there were represented, but little
good could come of it. The appeal proposes
Grsspyill. as the place, and the 18th of August
rs the time. No better place, during the heat Of
summer Al least, could be named. As to the time
of meeting, it could be pushed off little further
if necessary. That the Editors and Publishers
of South Carolina should meet together, after the
terrible disjoiascdness of the last six years, and
place themselves en- rapport in every respect, is
something which seems to US cminently wise and
proper.

net. Three months ago,lie made public speech
in Washington in which,he strongly endorsed the
President and his hisreconstruction policy Now, he
says to thePresadent in his letter of resignation,
he withdraws from the Cabinet because be ap-
proves the Constitutional Amendment, which
Mr.. JOHNSON does not approve, and does not ap-
provo the Philadelphia Convention, which Mr..
JOHNSON does approve. The upshot of the whole
husiness this: that he has gone over, horse, foot
and Dragons, to the Radicals: Why or where
fore is of very little Importance.

master Generay and one Of the leaders in lecall
for the Philadelphia Convention, has been nomi-
mated to fill Mr.. DENSIsoN's place. His nomina-
