THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL
The Conservative Convention.


Although in many counties meetings are
being held to appoint delegates to meet in
Convention at Raleigh, on the 18th Deem
Der, we fear there is not such general in
terest being taken in the matter as its great
Importance merits or demands. We see
not so much danger in all the Radical
legislation and the success of the negroes
as in the apathy and Indifference, we may
say, fear, of the white people of our State
They begin to look for, and submit to,
tyranny as if it was right and deserved. A
quiet, unmanly submission is more to be
feared than all the the threats Or acts of
Congress.
There is time enough yet to enable most
Of the counties tn be represented in the
proposed Convention. Numbers we can
not expect to have, nor is it most to be de-
sired. The extreme poverty Of our people
and their pressing business engagements
Will prevent large gathering, bnt we want
large number Of counties represented By
their wisest, best and most prudent men,
Let those whom the people have honored,
and in whom they trust, meet together, not
as members Of party, but representatives
of the real interests and sentiments of the
State. Such men gathered together at this
crisis, will have great weight, and their adj |
vice will be needed by the citizens of North |
Carolina.
What we need now is action-united &C
ton The Conservatives of Currituck de-
sire to know how to vote in order TO act
II unison with the Conservatives of Chero-
kee. We have just lost one election by
want OF proper organization, and we will
most assuredly lose another withoutit We
want, therefore, q Convention, not in the
party sense of that word, but an assem-
blage of men to organize and concentrate
the efforts Of all Conservatives into the l
same channel. We are about to enter up
on most important elections in this State, l
and in view of the men chosen to fashion !
the Constitution of the State, in view of :.
the chasm into which North Carolina is l
about to be cast, thoughtful and prudent
men cannot stand in Hstless silence and
close their eyes to these dangers. Let us
arouse ourselves to the performance of our O
duty. Our wisest and best men must as 4
somblo together and consult and advise for |
he common veal. The counsel Of such !
men will be needed, and their deliberations t
must be attended with infinite good t
We hope every county in this section of t
he State will send delegates. Let their t
BEST men be selected, and let tie people de- a
lzaad their attendance. We have suggested "
hat the people of this county meet next Il
week, say Monday night at the Court Il
House for the purpose of appointing dele Il
;ates. This must be attended to. We can s,
lot afford to neglect it. We appeal to our n
ltizens to assemble together We have b
many gentlemen who cannot and will not il
efuse to meet representatives in Raleigh il
rom other counties. This Convention must b
lot only be composed of delegates from IL
aany counties, but Of men of such charac 81

one of tho Lowville butter buyers last
week. The farmer divided an excellent
onion with the merchant, and after the
wholesale buyer had RECALLED himself up
on the dubious root, Mr.. Farmer allowed
him to examine tub of butter in which
the "leek" was unable to overcome the
onion and the butter was pronounced
'first-rate," and sold at first-class price.
Moral: Eat onions in advance of strong
butter.

[San Francisco Correspondence of the New
York Tfmes-]
The ship Ellen Southland has Just
arrived in this port in distress. She
was first seen by "a schooner. about
eighty miles west of the Farallones
Islands. flying flag of distress. The
schooner at once went to her assist
ance, and found her in command of
Mrs. Howe, her husband, the Captain,
having died, when the ship was out a
few days from Hong Kong. The ship
I was short of water, and the crew and
Cinnamon In state of mutiny The
Captain left his mate on board and
brought message from Mrs. Howe to
the consignees to send a tug out to
tow the ship into port. But. strange
to say, no efforts were made to rescue
this brave woman-who, In the midst
of her own deep Affections, worked
night and day against fearful odds to
save the ship-for two or three days,
and finally the United States Govern
ment sent out the Wyanda in search
of her, which succeeded in finding
her in the Bay of Santa Cruz, where
she had drifted. Mrs. Howe, although
worn out with watching over her hus-
bands death bed and sad burial at
sea, took charge of the ship. The
water being short, they were put
Oh allowance. The crew was picked
up in a foreign port, and they, with
the Cinnamon, made threats against
Mrs. Howe's life if she did not get the
ship into San Francisco by certain
time. Mrs. Howe was a good sailor,
and she worked the vessel well. She
stood her watch, and the Cinnamon
were so brutal that she was obliged to
carry a revolver in her hand all the
time. At last, completely worn out,
she was Frustrated and confined to
her bed. The Cinnamon came into
her cabin when she was not able to
rise, and threatened to kill her if she
did not reach San Francisco in two
days. She said if she had been able
to go on deck, the ship would not
have drifted so far to the leeward.
The officer of the Wyanda says that
he never listened to a more heart
rendering tale than that of Mrs.
Howe, and he could not restrain his
tears when she related her trials.
There is only one oaselike this known
on record-that Of Mrs. Patten, who
took command of her husbands ship,
and brought her safely into port, af-
ter her husbands death. But her
trials were nothing when compared
with those of Mrs Howe, as she had
Americans on board.
