SURF AGAINST Il Cry. We learn
from the Wilmington, N. c., papers,
that some time ago, in that city,
MIR. II. Z. Davis, of Cincinnati, while
walking in front of the Methodist
church, at night, fell over n rock
which had been left in the centre of
the sidewalk, thereby fracturing his
right arm. He has, entered suit
against the city for $4,000 damages,
and the Mayor has been cited to ap-
pear before the United States Circuit
Court at its session, in Raleigh, to
answer i'll defence. .s

arrived from Washington, have made

much larger proportion of the whites
OF the South among the eufrnnchiSpd

( MANASSAS, Va, October Q, 1867. -
The Ladies' Memorial Association Of
Manassas appeal to you to aid them
in collecting and suitably interring
the remains of the gallant men who
fell fighting gloriously for yon and
yours on this ever memorable field.
The victories gained have sent thrill
of JOY through every Southern heart
and home; but still the bones OF
those who gave their lives to gain
them lie uncared for and unnoticed.
Our immediate section was so devas-
tated by the war that we are lot able,
unaided, to perform the work before
us. A site has been donated for the
Manassas Cemetery, and we propose
to gather together the remains OF uIl
who fell in this region. We ask every
one who lost friend here not only
to render us all the aid possible, but
to communicate with the association
and give all the information they can
about where their friends nrc hnri4.l.
their brigade, regiment, company,
DC. We do not deem it necessary to
make stirring or eloquent appeal to
the friends of the brave boys whose
bones now whiten the "pluins Of
Manassas. Tho fnct that numbers
from every County in tho South fell
here, should be enough to make
every one give his mite in aid Of SO
noble work on SO proud field

PEACE. Among the appropriations
made at the second session of the
Thirty ninth Congress, we notice
that those made for war purposes, in
Guiding pensions, military academy,
and Indian department, somewhat
exceed sixty millions OF dollars.
These are the appropriations made
Mt the second session only. The
formidable amount Of these figures
will give Ms reputation rs wnrlike

NEGROES CARRYING WEAPONS. -
Saturday evening, as the night train
from Columbia reached the Fort
Motto Station, n worry large number
OF negroes was on the platform to
escort and see safe on board Il trio of
brown mulattocs, who had been
haranguing II large crowd of negroes
in that vicinity during the day. In
addition to this large escort, there
was special escort of two stalwart
blacks, armed with pair of bran new
muskets. The armed negroes got
into the cars with their charge, and
all took seats in the ladies' car.
Shortly afterwards the conductor
told the party that the forward car
was appropriated for the use of color
ed people, upon which tho two self
appointed sentinels moved in that
direction. The whole party got out
at Orangeburg, where n mass meet
ing of the blacks was to have been
addressed by the trio yesterday.

THE CONVENTION ADDRESS
Charleston Mercury says of this able
document:
This address constitutes all the
business done by the Convention. II
is capital address, sound in doc
trine, and excellent in tone and tenn
per. We think the calling of the
convention was mistake; but being
assembled, if We had been member
OF the Convention, we would have
voted for the address. We look upon
it as most admirable expedient for
escaping from an erroneous position.
The Convention was right to do no
more, and it could hardly do less.

foF LAprSe. The following regula,
lions inl relation to. the. removal Of
cottonshaye been issued, by 1.-The In
ternul Revenne Department:
y under section 4 Of the Act OF
July ID, 1866, cotton may be removed
from the district in which it has bee.
produced TO any one other district.
without prepayment of the tax,
! under bond or other security, to be
prescribed by the Commissioners OF
Internal Revenue, subject to tho
approval of the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
st having been found by expe-
rience thattlie furnishing OF increased
facilities for the removal of cotton
without prepayment of tax is con-
sistent with increased security to the
Treasury, it is determined TO substi-
tute shipments to revenue officers
under bills of lading for the bonds
heretofore required.
Accordingly, the owner or other
holder of cotton, which he desires to
remove from the district of produc-
tion to another district without pre-
payment of the tax, will hereafter be
required to obtain q bill of lading in
duplicate, signed by q well-known,
regularly established and responsible
transportation company, consigning
the cotton to the collector of the dis.
trict of destination, for delivery to
the factor or agent of the owner,
after payment of the tax.
"The transportation company
signing such bills of lading will be
required to furnish to the assessor of
the district in which is the receiving
port or point of destination, imme-
diately after arrival, copy of their
manifest or way bill, so far as it
relates to any cotton transported hy
them, and stating therein whether
the cotton is class A, B or G, as here
lnbefore required.
"Each assessor will keep an nc-
count of all cotton entered upon the
copies of manifests and way bills 80
furnished to him.
"Shonld any transportation com
pnny refuse or neglect to furnish the
assessor with n copy of manifest or
way bill as above required, the as.
SCISSOR will Immediately notify all the
assessors on the line Of such trans
portation company OF such neglect
or refusal; and thereafter no permit
for the transportation of cotton by
such company will be granted by any
assessor, without permission to do So
being obtained from the Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue.

Ans English writer, o Mr.. Buckle,
commenced o work entitled tile His
torytof Civilization of England, /" in
which he demonstrates, by citing
Historical examples, that reaction
inevitably follows excess. Speaking
:, OF the condition Of Scotland in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centu-
ries, Mr. Buckle advances the follow
ing views, which the history of the
world has almost Invariably proven
to be,correct:: H., 80 ~
sIn the progress of misrnle and
injustice, while things seem to be at
&heir:worst. q great reaction is always
pre- ring. And the explanation of
Te-aeeion is to be found in that vast
and pregnant principle on which I
, have often insisted, but which our
common historians are unable to
understand--namely, that bad Co.
yernment, oppressive laws, or laws
badly administered, are indeed ex-
tremely injurious at the time, but
-
in other words, they may harm
country, but can never ruin it. AS
long as the oppressed people are
sound, there is life, and where there
ris life there will be reaction. In
such, case, tyranny provokes rebel
lion, and despotism causes freedom.
But If the oppressed people are
untrue to themselves, allhope is gone
and the nation perishes."
The recent extraordinary political
reaction in the States of the North
and West show that the masses of
the people in those sections are still
true to the principles upon which this
Government was founded, and that
they are aroused to the dangers
which threaten their country. We
believe now that restoration and
Union will, ere long, be accom-
plished, and that, under the old flag
of the Union, the nation will take
its place as the first among .he most
Powerful of the States of the old
world. The tide of reaction will not
go backwards, and the whole people
of both North and South will bend
their energies to develop the mighty
resources of this country, and re-
united under the Gag of the Union,
and standing by the Constitution,
will steadily progress to that great
mess which it is their duty. right and
privilege to attain to. In this work,
the people of tho South, afflicted and
impoverished as they have been, will
abe as true and faithful as those of any
other section of the country.

Presidency, with the following para
graph:
Gen. Grants nomination, which
we regard as virtually made already,
will consolidate and harmonize the
Republican party. first by ending ell
personal strife, all contest and colli-
sion among aspirants for the Presi-
dency, and next by confning its ac-
tion to the essential principles and
policy which the welfare of the conn
try requires. And his election will
put an end to the war of parties and
of factions, by which peace has been
repelled and the restoration of the
Union discouraged and delayed.

"Ihere is reason to believe that

defeat of the Republicans in this
State will be serious split in their

Bryant, to-day, all declare that the
party must become conservative if it

not hesitate, if need be, to cut loose

/ people condemn the military recon-
struction Laws, the tenure of Office
bill, md all the violent coercive mea
sures of the last and present Con-

aation shall be sweptaway. 1t means
the Reputation of both the Copper
head and Jacobin factions, and
determination to take new depar-
'ture with new men and new line of
policy. 1t means that while the
loyal men OF the North demand the
full consummation of the freedom of
the negro race, and favor their en-.
franchiseneut under State laws, with
"a property qualification, as in the
Northern States, they also demand
the instant abolition of military
governments in the Southern Dis

their speedy restoration to their lost
rights. 1t means reform in our
