- REPORT ON PERIODICALS..
The Committee on Periodicals notice with pleas
ure the improvement of the religious press in
othar States as we'll as in our own.
Such recuperation from utter prostration into
life and superior worth, is certainly one of the
pleasant amolg the many painful things around
us.
These religious newspapers are indispensibly
necessary to the wants Of the people. Without

The question then occurred on the aiop-
ton of the report, as whole, with the ad-
ditional resolution. 1t was put to the Con-
vention, and resulted In its adoption.
James A. Graham, Esq, from the COM
mittee on Church Extension, made the fol-
lowing report
There are now in this State several Church Ed
ifces in process of construction some of which re-
qure speedy and efficient aid. Prominent among
these are the houses of worship in Wilmington
and Hisboro', which your committee would le-
specially commend to your sympathy and sup
port.
The Convention was addressed by
Messrs. Geo. r. French, Of Wilmington,
and JAS A. Graham, of HiiIsboro', IN be-
half of the Church in their respective
places. The discussion regarding the
means of deyising measures for the assis
lance of these Churches, soon became gen
eral and lasted until the hour of adjourn
ment arrived.
After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Mitchell, the
Convention adjourned to Saturday

The Victory and Us Effects.

Southern Radicals, warmed into eXls-
tence by the ignorant masses of negro
voters, through whom they desire and expect
to control the elections IN the Southern
States, pretend to see nothing in the late
defeats of their party at the North, but
their leading politicians and organs there
are growing very much alarmed. The
means used to build up the party here is
the very cause of its defeat there, and the
more prudent of their individual leaders
and party organs, believing that they are
not yet SO we'll assured of their strength at
the North to leopard it in order to secure
the Southern support, begin to talk OF
other "reforms" and "progress than
those which look to the reversal of the laws
of God, when, as punishment to the
wicked son of Noah, He decreed lasting
distinction between his descendants and
those of his brothers.
The party begins to learn, from the ex-
pensive lessons which have been taught
them in the recent elections, that the peo-
pie of these United States are no longer
willing to uphold a party which is fast
sacrificing every material interest in the
country in order to secure its continued
success by placing the States of the South,
and the balance of the political power OF
the Union, in the hands of persons who are
debased by ages of slavery a nd ignorance.
People are beginning to learn and declare
that this great Government WAS founded
for some more worthy purpose, and has
been protected and preserved through
three great wars for more noble object.
The Buffalo Express, a leading Radical
organ III Western New York, is impressed,
by the recent elections, with the belief that
there are other questions before the white
men of the country than the political and
social status of the negro. After announc-
ing the result, the Express asks:
"What, then, do these Union losses in Ohio and
PENNSYLVANIA mean? Just this That the weight
of an ill-digested system of taxation, the indus
trial and commercial depression consequent upon
an unsettled financial policy, among other causes,
and the general oppression of high prices, which
are inflated by many remedial mistakes-that

Letter from the State GcOlogist.

Letter from the State GcOiOgist.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-A friend has called
my attention to q copy of the journal con
tanning some resolutions of al Agricultural
Association in your region, III which,
among other things, the Geologist is re-
minded that the interests of agriculture re-
quire his attention as we'll as minerals and
he is called upon to direct his attention to
| that region.
Now, although I readily admit that the
Eastern counties of our State are abundant
ly supplied with tue means of an agricultu-
raj development unsurpassed on the CONT
nent, yet it is too much to assume that all
the agriculture of the State Is, as a matter
of fact, confined to this Eastern section.
But, chiefly, wish to call the attention
of these gentlemen land others in the East
ern counties who may not have seen my
report of last winter to the Legislature) to
the fact, which L then explained, that with
the approval of His Excellency, Governor
Worth and theLiterary Board, who are by law
constituted my advisers, have commenced
operations In the extreme West of the
State, for the simple reason that my prede-
cessOrs have devoted their whole attention
to the Eastern and Middle sections.
OF the FIVE reports published by DR..
Emmons, all relate to the Eastern and
Middle regions; three Of them are devoted
mainly to the agriculture OF the Eastern
counties, and not one refers in any way to
either the geology or agriculture OF the
Western third of the State. have now
devoted about one year to this neglected
and unknown portion of our State, whIe
the previous five or ten years Of the survey
have been given almost wholly to the East
And think it is capable of demonstration
that there is West as we'll as an East to
to this State, and that it is very far IRON
deserving to be represented any longer IS
a blank, either upon the agricultural or
neurological map of the State. And
think, Sirs, that both yourselves and the
authors of the resolutions referred to, Will,
upon this showing, agree that both justice
and interest require that / shall adhere 70
the plan prescribed for myself IN the report
above mentioned. In carrying out thlS
plan, the mari beds, the swamp lands ana
the peat beds of the East will claim atten"
ton during the next year. Meanwhile,
nothing is we'll calculated to promote anu
improve the agriculture of that section as
Just such associations as the one whose re-
cent resolutions are the immediate occasion
of these remarks. And it Is far from my
purpose to complain of these resolutions
they have furnished me the opportunity 10
explain to many who take an interest II
these matters, and who have not seen my
report, the reasons of my procedure.
Very respectfully, W. q A1RR'

Public Meeting in Duplin County.

We learn from gentlemen who attended
Duplin Court this week, that on Tuesday
last There being large number OF the
people of that county on the Court House
Square, public meeting was held in the
Court House during the afternoon, on which
occasion Col. A. A. MCKoY, of Sampson,
made very eloquent speech. The Court
House was crowded to its utmost capacity,
and Col. MCKoY's remarks received rap
turous applause. DR.. J. ". BLoUNT and
JOHN BRYANT, Esq, were nominated by
reclamation as the Conservative candidates
for the State Convention. They are both
tried and faithful gentlemen, and if elected,
which there is no room for doubt, they will
represent the good people of Duplin in
a manner worthy of their ancestors.
We hope other counties will follow the
example set by Duplin. Let Us organize
and thus save the old State from the politi-
cal mountebanks who hope to ride into
Office upon the backs of the negro.

vote, and only to q portion Of the whites,
thus practically forcing negro suffrage upon
seven or eight of the ten excluded States.
That such legislation will Stand, even
should it be consummated, we have never
believed, but its overthrow will be as sud-
den and as radical as the means now being
used to engraft it upon the Constitutions of
States.
There can be, then, but one object in
holding the Convention. The Constitution
of North Carolina is sufficiently republi-
can to suit the views of Congress, If the
word Chue be stricken out, and, by the In
corporation of the Howard Amendment, a
portion of the whites be disfranchised.
The people of North Carolina will never
consent to this, and we can see but little
policy even in pretending to do so by con-
senting to the holding of a Convention,
for, composed Of as good men as we can
hope it may, still it VIII be able to do much
harm by tinkering with the fundamental
law OF the State As to the best mode for
defeating the call of Convention we have
explained in former article. We still be-
heve that the policy Of not voting upon the
question is the most certain manner of de-
feating it. It does not follow that because
there is to be but one ballot upon which
must be written or printed the names OF
the Delegates aud for Or against the Con-
vention, that the voter cannot vote por-
ton of the ticket ana not all OF it. He can
vote for the delegates and be silent upon
the question Of Convention, OF can vote for
or against a Convention and not for dele
of NE three or four delegates to which his
county or district may be entitled. The
first section of General CANBY's Election
Order reads:
'FThat an election to be held in the State Of
North Carolina, commencing on Tuesday, the
10Th day Of November, 1861 and ending We'd
nesday, the Goth day Of nc ven Der, 1867, at which
all registered voters of said state may vOte For a
Convention" or - Against Convention" and
for delegates to constitute the Convention In
case ma jOrity of the votes given that ques-
ton shall be for a Convention, and Ill
jOrlty OF the registered voters shall be voted Oh
The question of holding such Cow ention."
There is nothing in this order in the
least compulsory upon the voter. He may
vote for or against Convention, and for
all or portion of the delegates his county
is entitled to- or upon the question of the
Convention and not for delegates, or 0ice
rersa Whatever course it is thought best
to be pursued by the Conservatives, should
be generally adopted throughout the State.
We know many of the best men and pa
I ~ have already declared in favor OF a
Convention. It is therefore the more ne
cessary to bring out full vote for good
and true men. If the Conservatives can
not, or are not willing to be rallied against
a Convention, in every movement after
ward they are unit and will act together
for the protection of North Carolina from
the terrible fate to which Radicalism would
consign her.

Bingham'S Latin Grammar.

A private letter from an esteemed friend
and experienced teacher, speaking of Bing-
hams Latin Grammar, says:
ct have been using Mr. Bingham's Latin Gram
mar over two sessions, and now have class of
boys in his Caesar. l am much pleased with both
works, and say, unhesitahnSly, that [ have
never had boys to make 50 great attainments in
Latin, in the same length OF time, by any other
course The superior analytical character Of the
Grammar after little practice, makes it great
|labor-saving machine for both teacher and stu
dent. I am pleased to much improvement
in the late edition.
Please send me the English Grammar spoken
of. g l am your friend,
A. r. b
We will take pleasure in sending him our
copy of the English Grammar, assured that
it, too, will find favor with him. We trust
our teachers will give these excellent school
books a thorough examination, and if ap-
proved, it is to be hoped they will be adop-
ted. Home talent and enterprise have
ever found too little encouragement among
us. Many works of superior merit, many
undertakings of great excellence, have
proved failures from the want of home en-
couragement while others Of less merit
from abroad have been received with gen
erous support. The day for this thing has
passed away. We must learn to appreciate
our own people and the labors of their
minds and hands. BY this means we will
develop Southern talent and enterprise.

LISBON FALLS, Sept. 13, 1867.
To the Editor Of the Press.
The water power in this little county Of
Androscoggin probably exceeds that of any
other county in the United States. SO this
comfy, having also good railway communi-
tions, must by and by become one Of the
busiest hives of industry on the continent,
unless water is superseded by the thermo-
electric battery or by some other cheap con-
trivance for the generation OF power. The
main powers are, of course, upon the An
droscoggin at LivermOre Falls, at Lewiston
and at Lisbon Falls. For the emergencies of
drought the chain of lakes in the up country
can readily.be made to hold sufficient re-
serve of water. Then the Little Androscog-
gin affords valuable powers in Auburn aud
sat Mechanic Falls, while along the never
failing Sabattus are found various excellent
sites for mills, four of which are now par
tally occupied. There are, also, numerous
other minor powers in Durham, Auburn,
Turner, Livermore and Lewiston. The
prospect is that the whole will soon be
brought into the service of man, giving en-
employment to thousands beyond the present
number, and largely augmenting the value Of
real estate throughout the county. Here, at
Lisbon Falls, the volume of water is larger
than at Lewiston, but the power is less, as
the fall is less, nor does the contour of the
land allow OF the water being SO readily used
At the upper dam the fall is twelve feet, and
thirty at the lower dam; but an increased
fall of several feet can be secured at no very
great cost. With the present dam the water
| flows back two and one quarter miles,-thIs
there is a large pond to draw from.
| The power is owned by parties organized
| under the name of the Androscoggin WAITE
| Power Company. They also own over tw,
| hundred acres of land on the east side of tn,
river, with two sawmills, one gristmill, ma
chimes for cutting shingles, laths and clap
boards, brickyard and the toll bridge. The
bridge has an historic look, reminding one o
