THE UNION LEAGUEs.-We understand
that the rebe. programme for the future is
to destroy the Union Leagues, and force
them all to disband The Conservatives
will have good time in performing this
task. The Leagues are more numerous than
their enemies are aware of, and the members
are devoted to the organization. Take
Knox county for an example There are
more Leagues in Knox county than there are
Civil Districts, and a majority of all the le-
gal voters belong to the League We know
our strength in every county, and We know
that we can't be defeated. Our Leagues are
patriotic institutions that we intend not only
to keep up, but to increase in numbers and
strength until, in the next Presidential cleo
ton, We make clean sweep of the whole
country. Talk about whipping out the I'm
ion Leagues in Tennessee! We have heard
of men shooting straws against the wind, but
we never have heard OF the wind being
checked up by the strawsl LEAGUERsl
why, their names are legion in Tennessee!
And still they are increasing. Bruaonlow's
Wing.

GENERAL GEORGE Fl. THoMAs.-This dis
tinguished military chieftain, together with
a portion of hisstaff, spent last Saturday and
Sunday in our town. General Thomas is
one of Gods noblemen, and impresses the
mind of every one who sees him with the
fact that he is guided entirely by patriotic
principles, and is deaf to blind passion or
selfish ambition. 1t is exceedingly fortunate
for our country, when troubles come upon
US, to have the counsel and services OF such
men as General Thomas-the man who never
committed blunder nor lost battle during
the late war. Those of our citizens who
called upon him during his short sojourn
here, to whatever party they belonged, went
away well pleased with his demeanor toward
them. Long may he live to enjoy the con-
fidence of the loyal men of the whole coun-
try, being, as he is, a tower of strength to
uphold and inspire confidence in the Gov
eminent. In time of war lie has shown his
services invaluable. in time of peace they
are indispensable. Brownlow's Wing.

REPUBLICAN MEETING AT MosELY HALL
A Republican meeting was held at Mosely
Hall, on Monday the 10th inst. which was
largely attended by citizens of both races
A noticeable feature was the attendance of a
large portion of the persons, who formerly
opposed and many of whom are still count
ed among the opposition of the Republican
party. The Hon. Richard W. King, of
Kinston, presided. a brief and eloquent
address, he alluded to the Importance of a
restoration to the Union, and introduced the
Hon. David Heaton, of New Bern, who
spoke for about an hour and half. Col.
Heaton's speech was in elucidation of the
principles of the Republican Party. BE
maintained that through its triumph. only
would peace and prosperity be brought again
to our people. The utmost enthusiasm pre-
vailed, and excellent order was maintained
throughout the meeting. The audience was
about two.thirds colored.-Ne'cbern Repa6-

CALL FOR A REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION
A Republican State Convention for Mis-

fines the position and objects of the Repub-
licans of Mississippi as follows:
1--WE desire to see Mississippi speedily
restored to her Constitutional relations as a
State in the Union. We accept in good
faith the reconstruction measures of Con-
gress. We concede to all men, without re-
gard to race or color, or previous condition,
the full rights of citizenship. We desire to
inaugurate system of education which will
educate and elevate the masses of the PEG
Pile. We wish to encourage immigration

ask each and every citizen of the State that
all passion and prejudices be laid aside, and
that sober reason answer the question, Are
not these the true interests of the State9 IN

PRorRR We learn that meeting of
RAIDS, is to be held in this City to-day, for
the purpose of selecting delegates to the 4th
of September Convention. It is rumored
that the wire pullers applied to the Church
authorities for the privilege of using the
African M. E. Chuch on the occasion, and
it was refused. This is every way proper
The House of God should not be prost;tuted
to political purposes. The Court house is
open to these people. Sentinel.
The meeting referred to was held in the
very Church mentioned, and very good
meeting it was. See proceedings in Stand
ard to-day. The Church authorizes unani--
mously rendered the Church for tile pur-
pose of holding the meeting. In ordinary
times we also think it proper that Church
edifices should not be thus used but we
can see no difference between prostituting
Churches or meeting houses to political pur-
poses and Ministers of the Gospel like Mr..
Pell proatituting themselves to similar pur-
poses. The latter is, indeed, more to be de-
plored than the former, for Ministers have
immortal souls to be saved or damned, and
are not irresponsible like masses of wood,
stone and mortar.
But there is difference in this respect be-
tween colored Churches and thoseused by the
whites The liberties of the former civil, politi-
cal, and religious, are not yet assured and if
the Republican party should go down,
they would certainly be lost The colored
people would not even be allowed religious
liberty by the copperhead disunionists The
colored people are aware of this, and there
fore they willingly consent, for the present,
that their Church edifces may be thus occa-
sionally occupied by their friends and pro-
tcctors when no other convenient place can be
obtained
The Sentinel says the Court House is
open to these people" We know it. We
did not need to be told of it by these u
fellows of the Sentinel But the Court House
was occupied by the County Court, the
Commons Hall by the Military Court, Mr.
Tupper's Church was undergoing repairs
and there was no other convenient place in
town to hold the meeting. The "Court
House would not be open to these people,
but for the presence of national troops and
the fear of consequences.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
truthfully and justly says of Mr.. Stanton:
1--WE are not likely to forget or undervalue
the service rendered by Mr.. Stanton, to our
Government, in 1860 He discovered, in
Buchanan's Cabinet, conspiracy to seize the
Archives, prevent the Inauguration of Mr.
Lincoln, and usurp the Government. Thus
far, Jake Thompson, Cobb, Slidell, Mason,
Benjamin. &C., proceeded, with the cooper
alton of Toucey, when Mr.. Stanton, with
Governor Seward, wisely countermined to
arrest that calamity. Judge Holt was loyal
Gen. Dix was brought into the Cabinet
The intended coup Getat was barely prevent
ed. We saw. on that occasion, while Mr.
Lincoln was being sworn, Generals Scott and
Wool standing by their guns, planted in the
vicinity of the Capitol, with less than a
thousand Regular troops for its defence
Floyd, the Secession Secretary of War, and
Toucey, the Secession Secretary of the Navy,
had the troops and the ships Of the Govern
ment sent out on distant service We be-
lieved then, as We firmly believe now. that
but for Edwin M. Stanton, Traitors would
have usurped the Government on the 4th of
March, 1850"

PROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR QUALITY,
OF THE iesH'
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT
WALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, Of Waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more
durable, better adapted for general use, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the Market They ore simpler
in structure, and therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than the majority of foreign
watches, which are composed of from LOS to 500
pieces, while in an old English watch there are
more than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by the
following letter:

Sheridan, in his letter to Gen. Grant, says
the greatest embarrassment he met in the
work of registration was the constant rumors
of his removal PROFESSIONALLY, they broke
down the confidence of the people in his
acts, and the fact of his removal will break
down the respect of the people for the laws.
He faithfully administered the laws, without
regard to party or politics; he was removed
for this fidelity; and the laws of the country
have therefore fallen into comtempt.-N 7.
