THE rump at Wilmington, says the Chi
cago Tines, now pretending 70 do the duty
Of Congress, is not in 3 very good sdor
anywhere. On this side Of The Atlantic, We
think il mere perpetuation Of the ysif.
Davis scheme Of secession and on The
other side. the opinion with relation 10 the
rump is not one whit les trafhfiil or more
complimentary. Here is what an infnen-
tial London Eaglandl newspaper thinks
OF the congressional rnmp:
IT Il not at all philanthropy Or wou.aded
patriotism that keeps out the sosfhern msm-
bers. The northern manufacturers arc reap
ing annual profits Of cent per cent, 200 per
cent, and even 800 per cent. on their capi~
tai, a1d yet they hope 10 secure = ma
jority that viii pas tariff that will
amount to prohibition. Cotton goods
are nov charged with 36 per csns,
and woolens with 385 per cent; tat
these monopoliats want 70 get the wssress of
al clothes absolutely at their mercy They
employ ], 100000 lands, and they iniiasnce
millions more; 20 that shroagh sheer nr-
ruption, they are enabled 10 tax ahe
1000, 900, not paying those they employ
any very extraordinary wages but hespirs
up their own fortunes in raoiinfainolz pfo-
portions. This il not, nor Il cannct come
70 good Il viii end in fresh secession
movements IA the West a well a. the South,
and the revenue, meanwhile, viii be bronRhl
down 10 the mercst thread Of custo-n-heuse
receipts"
All this Is true. To-day Massachusetts,
manufacturers and disunionist.. I'D By Sum
ner, and Pennsyiyania manuii,rtarers and
disunionisss, led'by Stevens, have their hands
upon the throat Of the nation. Il the nation
survive, il viii isos be through sny intent OF
merit ON their part.

TO MAJOR Gen. Sheridan, commanding, de-,
Neso Orleans, La.
We have been advised here that prior to
the assembling of the illegal and extinct
and insurrectionary speeches were made to
mob, composed of white and colored persons,
urging them to arm and equip themselves
for the purpose of protecting and sustaining
the convention in its illegal and unauthoriz-
ed proceedings, intended and calculated to
upturn and supersede the existing State gov
eminent of Louisiana, which had been re-
cognized by the Government of the United
States. Further, did the mob assemble and
was it armed for the purpose ofsustalning
the convention in its usurpation and revolu-
tionary proceedings Have any arms been
taken from persons, since the 30th ult., who
were supposed or known to be connected
with this mob2 Have not various individ-
uals been assaulted and shot by persons con-
nected with this mob, without good cause
and in violation of the public peace and good
order ? Was not the assembling of this con-
vention and the gathering of the mob for its
defence and protection the main cause ofthe
riotous and unlawful proceedings OF the civ
il authorities of New Orleans Have steps
been taken by the civil authorities to arrest
and try and all those who were engaged in
this riot and those who have committed of
fences in violation of law Can ample JUS
tice be meted by the civil authorities to all
offenders against the law Will General
Sheridan please furnish me brief reply to
the above inquiries, with such other informa
ton as he may bein possession Of?
Please answer by telegram at your earliest
convenience. ANDREW JOHNSON,

The Crops on the, Roanoke.


A friend writes US as follows in relation to-
the crops in the Roanoke country:
AS the people are always anxious espe-
cially in the fall season. to- hear from the
crops. will givey you some information as
to the crops in Halifax and Northampton
Counties.
Well, ehave, the poorest prospect for
crop 1 have ever seen in this part of the,
State I hsve recently seen the best corn,
growing region of Northampton County
the Ocaneeche Neck and 1 assure you it
is almost a blight, There are, I suppose,
in the Neck about ten thousand acres of
the finest land ever saw in cultivation, and
don't think it will average as. much per
acre as common upland ordinarily does.
Much of the cotton is almost worthless In.
this County, Halifax, there is no hope of
half as much corn as was made last yeaI, and
not more than half as much cotton. The
crops are suffering intensely for rain
The young bolls of cotton are falling off by
thousands, for want of rain and from the hot
parching weather.

We have read the numbers as they have

chapters of the work and we take pleasure
in saying that it is very interesting, and VIII
no doubt be read with avidity by all into
whose hands it may fall. This work IS de-
voted to the events of the last five or SIX
years, and several distinguished public char
acters, among them the lamented Henry w.
Miller, are introduced.
The author is known to US to be an ami
able and worthy gentleman, who deserves 10

The following telegram received g. Is T.
NJ, Aug. 1, 1866, from New Orleans, La,
Aug. 1, 1866.
Q. s. Grant, General:
You are doubtless aware of the serious
riot which occurred in this city on the Both.
4 political body styling itself the convention
of 1864 met on the 30th for, as it is alleged,
the purpose of remodelling the present con-
stitution of the State. The leaders were po-
litical agitators and revolutionary men, and
the action of the convention was liable to
produce breaches ofthe public peace. 1 had
made up my mind to arrest the head men if
the proceedings of the convention were cal
culated to disturb the tranquility of the De-
partment, but that l had no cause for action
until they committed the overt act In the
meantime official duty called me to Texas,
and the Mayor of the city, during my alb
sence, suppressed the convention by the use
of the police force, and in so doing attacked
the members of the convention and party
of 200 negroes with firearms, clubs, and
knives, in a manner unnecessary and afro
cious to compel ME to say that 1t was
murder About 40 whites and blacks were
killed, and about 100 wounded. Everything
is now quiet, but deem it best to maintain
a military supremacy in the city for a few
DAYS, until the affair is fully investigated. l
believe the sentiment of the general COM
munity is great regret at this unnecessary
cruelty, and that the police could have made
any arrests they saw fit without sacrificing
lives. P. FL. SHERIDAN,
Major General Commanding.

side of the many questions relating to the
Ieconstruetion Of the State government.
When asked If intend to furnish the con-
vention military guard, have replied,
.No; the Mayor of the city and his police
will amply protect its sittings." If these per
sons assemble, as you say is intended, it will
be, presume, in virtue OF the universally
concede right of all loyal citizens of the Uni
ted States to meet peaceaDiy and discuss 1ree-
ly questions concerning their civil govern
ment-a right which is not restricted by the
fact that the movement proposed might ter
inmate in a change of existing institutions.
If the assemplage in question has the legal
right to remodel the State government, it
should be protected in so doing; if it has not,
then its labors must be looked upon as a
piece of harmless pleasantly, to which no one
ought to object
As to YOUR conception of the duty imposed
by your oath of office, I regret to differ with
you entirely I cannot understand how the
mayor of city can undertake to decide so
important and delicate question as the le-
gal authority upon which convention,
claiming to represent the people OF an entire
State, bases its action. This doubtless will
be decided upon in due time by the legal
branch of the United States Government
At all events. the Governor of the State ould
seem to be more directly called upon to take
the initiative in step of this kind, if it was
proper and necessary.
What we most want at the present time is
the maintenance of perfect order and the sup
preston of violence. If, when you speak of
the projected meeting as one calculated to
disturb the public peace and tranquility, I
am to understand that you regard the num-
Der of persons who differ in opinion from
those who will constitute it so large, and the
lawlessness of their character so well estab
lished, that you doubt the ability of your
small force of police to control them, you
have in that case only to call upon me and
will bring to your assistance not only the
troops now present in the city, but, if neces-
sary, the entire force which it may be in my
power to assemble either upon land or Wa
ter.
Lawless violence must be suppressed ; and
in this connection the recent order of the
Lieutenant General, designed for the protec-
ton of citizens of the United States, deserves
careful consideration. 1t imposes high obi
cations for military interference to protect
those who, having violated no ordinance in
the State, are engaged in peaceful avocations

servant, A. BAIRD,
