WASHINGTON, Aug. Is

w 10.
Commodore Kitty releaves Rear Admiral
Rowan, the Commander of the Norfolk Ma
w Yard, who will command the Atlantic
Squadron.
Gen. Pope writes Gen. Grant a letter ma
king two solid columns. The letter of B.
H. Hill, of Georgia, furnishes the text.
The following paragraph occurs:
1t is my duty however, to state that in
my judgment, the condition Of If affairs in the
Southern States, even should reconstruction
be satisfactorily accomplished, will, of a ne
cessity, be a reproduction, in a more or less
modified degree, of what now exists in Ten
nessee, unless some meaures are adopted to
free the country of the turbulent and disloy
al leaders of the reactionary party. Whilst
these persons remain in the country to exer
else the baleful influence they undoubtedly
possess, there can be no peace"
This is the truth well and strongly put If
we had President and Cabinet whose
hearts were thoroughly in the work of re-
construction on the basis prescribed by the
will of the nation. there would be little dan
ger from the Vaccinations and inhammatory
appeals of such disunion leaders as Mr. Hill.
But if the States are to go back with these
leaders unmuzzled, and with many of them
permitted to vote while loyal men are ex-
cluded from the polls, the loyal people. who
will have full control i'll the Constitutional
Conventions. must take the necessary steps
to protect themselves. Wehear good deal
about general amnesty to rebels. No man,
unless he submits Internationally to the ma
tional authority and repeRts of his SIN against
the nation whose life he sought to take,
is entitled to amnesty. When rebels like
Ben Hill do this, and not before, they may
look for amnesty.
But the boot is on the other leg. It is the
loyal men in these States soho are in need of
amnesty at the hands Of rebels. They have
not asked it, nor will they in any event but
they are as much under the hand of rebel
power to-day as they were three years ago.
1t is owing only to the laws of Congress and
the presence of troops that their lives and
property are at all SAFE This is especially
true of the colored people, against whom
the disunion leadars are constantly tanning
the flame of popular hatred. A "war of "a
'ees" is predicted on all hands by these lead
ers, when they know in their wicked hearts
that if such war should begin it will be
begun by them. The coIored people are
quiet and law-abiding. They simply want
their rights as guaranteed to them by law
They have no idea of engaging in war with
any portion of the white race. IA
We trust Gen. Grant will sustain General
Pope in the views he has expressed in the
letter referred to. Gen. Grant has it in his
power to add even to his great fame by
hrmly sustaining such subordinates as Pope
and.sheridan. and by throwing all his weight
on the side of the loyal men of the nation.

Tn ORE IN MIssoURI.-The discovery of
tin ore in large quantities on this continent
is of great economic value. The world is
chiefly supplied from the mines in Cornwall,
England, and those of Wales. 1t is a GER
tainty that in Southeast Missouri We have an
immense deposit of tin ore, easy of access,
in IA mountainous, heavily -timbered region,
with extensive water-power afforded by the
St. Francis river and its tributaries. The
veins are found from two feet to three hun
bred feet in width, and from few yards to
one mile in length, easily traced on the sur
face, having been laid bare by the unusually
heavy floods of the last spring We may
safely assert that in o few years we will con-
troll the tin market of the world We have
the ore and the fuel in abundance. and though
labor is comparatively high, we have coun-
ter-balance in the fact that we do not have
to sink expensive and deep shafts to obtain
the mineral as they do in England m
Our ore is bare at the surface on the hill
sides, where for ages it can be cheaply
thrown out without the use of those cum
Drous and very expensive engines and ma
chinery in use in Cornwall and Wales. As
yet tile ore has been found in quantity only
in Madison county, but indications are found
of its existence in Washington and Iron
counties in fact, it was in this latter county
though before its Organization that DR.
Farrell found the first specimen of the ore
about nine years ago. He has quietly, but
as persistently as circumstances would admit
pursued the search until this last spring, aid.

all Southeast Missouri may be regarded as a

Republican State Convention.


In accordance with the following resolution,
passed after full consultation, at meeting of the
Republican State Executive Committee, held in
Raleigh, on the 5th of June last, Delegate Re-
publican State Convention is hereby called, to
meet at Raleigh at II o'clock, A. NJ, on Wednes-
day, September 4th, 1867: -
Resoloed, That this Committee recommend
that Convention of the Republican party OF
h-Carolina assemble in Raleigh on Wednes-
day, the 4th day of September next; and that
the people be requested to elect or appoint,
through primary meetings, delegates thereto"
The object in calling the Convention, is that it
may take such additional steps as may seem me-
cessary and proper to add to the efficiency of the
Republican organization in North-Carolina, and
to secure the triumph of Republican principles
and measures. ,4s.,-t
1t is proposed that each County in the State
send as many delegates, white and colored, as it
may desire, and that when assembled in Conven-
ton the respective Counties shall be entitled to
the House of Commons under the present ap-
portionment. Is 3 1sia aft
All who are prepared to act and cooperate
with the Republican party, are invited TO attend
and participate in the proceedings of the Con-
vention. 50
The great and vital questions of public policy
now at issue-the importance of insuring an
early return of North Carolina to the Union, and
the controlling influence the Republican party is
destined to exert in the accomplishment of this
result, render it important that the Convention
shonld assemble with such shirt as will insure
harmony and concert of action.
With all the associations connected with the
struggles and triumphs of the Republican party
Its wise and patriotic record in peace as we'll
as in warts anxiety and power to preserve and
perpetuate the Union-there is everything to in
spire our friends, and to induce them to CO.
operate resolutely and vigorously in the work of
restoring North Carolina to loyal position in
the government, thus fastening the return of
peace and prosperity to her people.

q COPPERHEADS.
We'll, I believe there is scarcely Repub-
1jcan here who does not recognize distinc-
tions in dagrees of disloyalty: There is
not Democrat here who was not more dis
loyal, according to these gentlemen, than
the men OF the South who took up arms.
They used to tell us how. much more they
respected the rebels of the South than the
Copperheads of the North. Jefferson Da-
Wis, even, they respected. Oh, yes, Horace
Greeley respects him. The white-hatted
philosopher, having breakfasted upon bran
bread and cold water, unless he has pro-
gressed to lager beer lately, was found
vending his way to Fortress Monroe to
volunteer bail for jeff. Davis. But they
said, "we despise these Copperheads."
They do we'll. just turn that contempt
right back to them. ! can despfse some-
times as hard as any man 1 ever saw, and
when they talk of despising us, fling it
back into their teeth. You despise us for
what? Because we love the old govern
ment of our fathers. You Gespise us be-
cause we adhere to the Constitution and
the Union. That's it. Here is the sum of your
professed attachment and loyalty to the
Union. You respect the men who took up
arms and fought the Federal armyI aud

ADvERTIsING.-At a recent lecture on
'smoney getting Mr. p. I. Barnum said
men should be careful in their business
that they have good article for sale.
Then advertise it, for the greater num-
Der who know of the eXistance OF the
genuine article the better it Is for
the owner. The ways of advertising may
be different in different cases, but always
the public should be made aware ofthe ar
ticle which the advertiser has for sale.
Advertising must be persisted in. The
nail must be hammered well in and then
clinched. A French writer has well
said that the first time a man does not
see it /; the second time he does not read
it; the third time he reads it, but docs
not think oft; the fourth time he thinks
aboutit; the fifth he speaks to his wife
about it, and the sixth or seventh time
he is ready to purchase. This Will be
found to be nearly correct, and man
must remember that if he does not adj
vertise his goods the sheriff will adyer-
tise them for him; lin this case it is bet
ter to act personally then by proxy.
