Secretary McCull0ch has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to a gentleman in New York !
"TREAsURY DEPARTMENT, Oct. z, 1867. q
"DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 4th in
slant is received Too much Importance is
attached to the utterance to which you refer.
The people of the United States are all
sound upon the question of the preservation
of the national faith as they were. upon the
question of the preservation of the Union
l consider the faith of the Government
pledged to pay the five-twenty bonds when
they are paid in coin.
There need be, 1 think, no apprehension
that they will be called in at the expiration
of five 20 years from their respective dates,
and paid in United States notes. ~
"The United States notes were issued
under the pressure of great necessity, and
are, by authority of Congress, being rapidly
withdrawn from circulation. No more can
he issued under existing laws, nor can be-
lieve that any considerable number OF the
Members OF Congress would favor an adj
ditional issue for any purpose whatever,
much less for the purpose of paying bonds
I in violation of the express understanding
under which they were negotiated e
The policy OF contracting the circulation
of United States notes, adopted by Congress,
and being steadily pursued by the Secretary,
should Of itself, even if the honor of the
nation were not involved in the. question,
satisfy holders that five twenty bonds will
not be called in and paid before maturity in
a deprecated currency.
I 's. Very truly, yours, ~

On Saturday last the great " Conservative
meeting was held in fuckers Hall, in this
City. The writer hereof was present, and
will give plain, unvarnished statement, Of
the whole affair. ld
The meeting had been advertised far and
wide The Sentinel and Progress had kept it
constantly before their readers, and hand
bills were scattered every morning in Market
Square giving flaming promise of a, big day,
and inviting every body to be present ~
Well, the day came. 1t was clear and
pleasant. Gov. Vance was to be here, but
it is understood he telegraphed he could not
tear himself away from the Circus in Char
lotte, lest he should lose some new or good
sayings of his rival, the Clown. Gov. Ora
ham was to be here, but he was so embar-.
raised by the cropping OUT ofhis recent
letter to an Arkansaw friend, that he did not
appear. We took seat early in the day in
the front part of the gallary, and saw it oil.
The Sentinel says, several hundred of the
best and most substantial citizens of the
County were present, besides fair number
of colored men, "Several" means more
than two Now, we assert that the meet
ing opened with one hundred whites, includ-
ing boys, and twenty colored. We counted
them twice. AS the funeral exercises pro-
crossed some twenty-five whites and fifteen
rcolored were added-and that was all. We
declare this to be so, and we challenge sue
cessful contradiction. 86d i.isl IS rs
AT length, amid solemn calm that could
be felt, Mr.. Pell entered, followed by Gov.
Bragg and Judge Merrimon. Mr.. Pell cir
culated, while the Governor and the Judge
disappeared behind the scenes, where no
doubt there was much enthusiasm. AT
length Mr.. Pell mounted the platform and
moved that the meeting be organized by
calling Harry o. Parker, Esq. to the chair.
Put and carried, Maj. Hustled and few 9th
ers votin g in the affirmative. Mr.. Parker
took the. chair, hung Ills head, and said
nothing. After desperate effort young
man was induced to act as Secretary. Mr..
Pell then rose and in dolefuI strain ex-
planned the objects of the meeting. He con-
fessed his disappointment at the small num-
Der present. and apologized for the absence
Of Gov Vance. No applause A commit.
tee on resolutions was then ordered. The

The Rebel presses Of the State, led by the
Rebel Sentinel Of this City, have been teem-
ing for week or two past with a charge of
horse or understanding against Col. w. F.
Henderson, Of Davidson County. We felt
sure, from the first, that the charge was. I'M
founded, and. We are now prepared on the
authority Of three Of the best citizens Of
Davidson to brand this charge as it deserves.
The facts are, that about two years ago
man named Glover stole mule from man
named Darr, Of Lexington. Glover took
the mule to High Point, some twenty-fveor
thirty miles, and sold it to David Hender-
son, a brother Of Col. Henderson. The thief
was unprecedented, plead guilty, and was
whipped for it. Not long since Col. Hen
derson, Agent Of the Bureau, required Darr,
from whom the, mule was stolen, to do JUS
tice to . colored man in the matter'of wages,
when Darr threatened he would have re-
.venge. The result. was the bill Of indict-
lment against Col. ". r. Henderson, charging
him with completely in the stealing Of the
mule The bill Of indictment was found
by a small majority of the grand jury and
the Foreman Of the jury is Of the opinion
that the whole lproceeeding against Col, H.
was vindictive and. retaliatory.

Gov. Bragg dwc.t in his speech on what
he considered the arbitrary and dappero0.
character Of the, Republican plan Of oroani
zation. Nearly every idea he advanced on
the subject was borrowed from the Reo;,t,,
a profcssetly Republican journal. The fact
that Gov. B. Objects to our plan of orgapiza.
ton is good reason for holding on to it
1t is amusing to hear an old caucus secessio,
Democrat denouncing conventions and plans
Of Reorganization. The Governor defeated tho
writer of this in caucus, in 1855, for Senator
and we-were 8 required" to submit on main
Of expulsion from the Democratic party
We did submit, and he took the benefit of
oar submission. Now, when it suits his mr.
pose, lie takes directly opposite ground. Or
ganization was good for the Democracy
when Gov Bragg was one of its leaders. but
it is bad for Republicans. The Governor
might tolerate organization among Republic
cans If he were not certain that the result
would be the final defeat OF the secessionists
and the triumph of the party of the nation.

The Progress is naturally indignant at the
manner in which the late Rebel meeting in
this City ignored the Northern Democracy.
Speaking Of the congratulations in the reso-
luton over the recent elections North it
says: : ~ SO
This congratulation was welf-timed and
appropriate, but the triumphs referred to be-
long to the Democratic party, as such, and
manliness required that it should be 50 STA
ste6ly specifically. We denonnce this CIR
cumlocution as unworthy Of the times and
detrimental to harmony among those who
could unite as one man. It snlacks too much
Of disposition to withhold from that party

ried by the recognized national Demo-
cratic party-no 4 Conservative about it."

antediluvian fossils az Mr. Hustets can ever
bring themselves Il, endorse any thing done
by "the Democracy ?r Does that paper look
for "manliness," or honesty, or spark of
patriotism in that quarter These hoary-
headed traitors will use 1.-THE Democracy to
