Correspondence Of the Herald.
MT. JACKSON, Nov. 80, 1867.

MEssRs. LAKEWOOD & TROUT: The Com
mttee for this District, appointed by the
Central Committee at Woodstock, has held
a preliminary meeting and adopted such
measures as were deemed best calculated
to secure thorough organization Of the
Conservative party, in accordance with
the resolution published in the Herald Of
the 21st instant Subcommittee were
appointed at Mt. Clifton, Orkney Springs,
Hamburg, Cabin Hill, and Miller's School
House, with directions to communicate
and cooperate with the committee for the
District. 1t is proposed to canvass the
entire District and obtain a list of the
names of all those who are entitled to re-
gister and who have not done so, and
when the opportunity is again afforded,
every effort will be made to have all such
persons registered. Having thus placed
the people in a position to exercise the
right Of suffrage, an extraordinary effort
will be made to bring every Conservative
voter to the polls on the day of election,
or to keep them all away, if the negative
policy shall be adopted by the Richmond
Convention. If thorough organization
can be effected throughout the State, and
the people can be made to understand the
true status of affairs. and to consider the
vast interests Of the State, the negro Con-
stitution will be voted down by large
majority, and our glorious old Common
wealth will be redeemed and rescued from
the fate of Jamaica and St. Domingo =
He that is not for us is against us in this
contest-there is no middle ground of
neutrality on which an honest man can
stand. If any white man refuses to CO.
operate zcalously in the last endeavor to
rescue the State from the horrors of negro
rule, he should be made conspicuous by
the finger Of public scorn and Reproduction
and forever afterwards regarded as an en-
envy. There is but one creature on earth
worse than Northern Radical, and that
is Southern Radical. Brownlow and
Hunnicutt have reached lower depth
than Stevens or Sumner. They have ex-
hausted the capacity of human nature for

Another Reconstruction Act.

A telegram from Washington, dated
the q inst, states that bill amending
the reconstruction acts will be introduced
in the Senate this week; proposing to abol-
ISL all restriction on the right of franchise,
so as to allow all persons, white and black
to vote, without reference to the past. It
also removes the disabilities imposed bv
Congress from such Of the leading men in
the Southern States as may have aided in
securing an execution Of the reconstruction
acts, and it substitutes majority of per-
sons voting for the majority Of those reg
istered in determining the question Of State
Conventions The Radicals profess to see
the error they made in this last respect in
the result of the South Carolina elections.
In that State they had the largest majority
of registered voters, aud yet, if the Con
yentlon has not been defeated, it has re-
ceived but bare majority.

Tho Stace Convent ton.

The Richmond papers of Wednesday
contain the preliminary proceedings of the
State Constitutional Convention which as
sembled in the House of Delegates On the
3D. instant. Previous to the hour appoin-
ted for the organization of the Convention,
members began to look for suitable seats
the negro members generally rushing to
the front seats nearest the Speaker'r chair,
and On the left side of the hall while the
white Conservative members took seats on
the right Of the Speaker
At 10 O'clock, Capt. Platte, white Rad
ical from Petersburg, took the chair and
called the Convention to order. He then
nominated Col D. B. White, white Radi-
cal from Elizabeth City, as temporary
cIirman, and he was elected without op-
position. The Conservative members did
not take any part in these proceedings,
neither nominating a candidate Of their
own nor voting on the question. Col. W.
then said that 'much was owing to Proyi-
dence, and therefore. according to custom,
he would cali upon minister present. to
lead in prayer" Accordingly, Yankee
Radical preacher present, Rev. James
Mitchell, promptly proceeded to obey
a. Il
election of a temporary Secretary was the
next thing in order. Whereupon Mr.
Porter Of Powhatan and Chesterfield, NOM
mated j. W. D. Bland, of Prince Ed
ward, Radical of the African persuasion,
for the position, who was elected without
opposition.
\ roll Of the members was called, and
all were found to be present but 7. Hun
nicutt, in his haste to commence his dirty
work, and in utter ignorance eff parliament

three be appointed to visit Gen. Schofeld.
to see what orders he had in reference to
the Convention" This motion was gen
orally seconded on the Radical side of the
house. These fedglings were impatient;
they wanted to put the Radical machine
to work. Mr.. Clements suggested that,
as the Convention was only temporarily
organized, it was not prepared for the
transaction Of business. Hunnicutt said
he had seen General Schofeld that morn.
ing. and he had some communication for
the consideration of the Convention" The
suggestion of Mr.. Clements was sustained
by the Chair. The Convention, on mo-
ton, then adjourned to meet on Wednes-
day at II o'clock.

Comment on these proceedings is un-
necessary. They speak for themselves.
We can arrive at but one conclusion: We
mast defeat this black horde or PERISH
The demand on every white man to do his
whole duty in this great emergency is i'm
perative. He who falters is a traitor to
his race. The white people Of Virginia
will be, some time during the present win
ter, summoned to the field once more to
battle for their liberties. This battle, al
though bloodless, will be decisive. New
er was a contest joined between serried
hosts on the blood kncaded soil of the old
Commonwealth, in which more was at
stake than will be in this bloodless battle
Of the ballot between the dusky hosts of
barbarsm On one side, and the champions
of civilization on the other. It therefore
heLooves every lover of his country, if he
has not already done so, to avail himself
of the first opportunity to have his name
entered on the muster rolls And not on
ly this, he must become a recruiting Off
Ger, and not rest satisfied until every true
man has been mustered in. And finally,
on the day Of battle he must be at his post
as a fle-closer, determined to do his whole
duty, and urge upon all others to do theirs
Then victory must needs perch upon our
banners.

ry means and resorted to all sorts of tricks
to secure the coveted prize. The friends
of Underwood were too numerous for the
the supporters of the peerless Hauxhurst
Indeed, Hauxhurst, the indomitable, the
irrepresslble ex-collector of internal reve-
nue., was shamefully defeated and ram
squaddled by his opponent. John c.
Underwood, the erudite, the incorruptible
judge Of one Of the circuit courts of the u.
s., has been nominated for the presidency
of the Virginia Constitutional Convention,
so-called. The final vote of the caucus
stool: for Underwood 33, Bowden Is,
Hauxhaust 8; the friends of the latter ha-
wing dropped him and gone over to Bow
den, after ascertaining that he could not
be elected. AS most of the Radical mem
bers have doubtless bound themselves to
abide by the action of this caucus, it is
highly probable that Underwood has been
chosen President
Having disposed of this momentous bu-
siness, the caucus had but little trouble in
nominating candidates for the subordinate
Offices. George Rye, of this county, was
nominated for Secretary, and William A.
Tall for Sergeant-at-arms Of the Conven-
ton.
We shall endeavor to keep our readers
posted relative to the doings of this august
body.

ga" Gen. Pope telegraphed to General

ma State Convention could not be induced
to adjourn without further legislation, as
it has done incalculable injury to recon
struction by its late action. This is the
second dispatch Of the same tenor received
from Gen. Pope. The Radical members
declare that these dispatches are an insult
to the Convention.
An ordinance to prevent marriages be-
