Under the above head the Statesville
american publishes a letter signed by w.
II. Snead, in which, in addition to some low
abuse of the late Republican State Conven-
ton, it is stated that one of the delegates
from Wilkes and the delegate from Watauga
have been whipped at the whipping post
This letter is copied into the Sentinel, and
we regret to observe that the Register takes
notice of and attaches Importance to this
charge against the delegates referred to.
We know nothing as to the truth of this
charge. The delegate from Watauga ap-
peared to be a respectable, worthy gentle
man and Alfred Stokes, probably the dele
gate referred to from Wilkes, may have been
whipped while he was slave
And now, who is this witness Snead, thus
used to injure the Republican party9 He is
an ignorant, drunken vagabond, who has
been indicted for vagrancy, who has been in
the Georgia penitentiary for crime, who
BACKED his hair to get in the Confederate
service as substitute-who was drummed
out of the service, and who, while he is
made tool to revile the colored race, can
find no white man or negro low or mean
enough to associate with him on terms OF
equality. Gentlemen, behold your witness.

Tie Late Elections.

The vote is so close in Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania that it is still difficult to decide which
party has prevailed, the Republican or
Rebel.
Pennsylvania is thought to have gone for
the Democrats by small majority. We
shall probably know the result by our next.
Both sides claim it.
Ohio is supposed to have elected Gen.
Hayes, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, by small majority. The State has
voted against manhood suffrage by a con-
siderable majority. The Legislature seems
to be in doubt

MASS MEETING IN RICHMOND COUNTY.

4 zIAURINBURGH, Richmond, Oct. 8, 1867.
The colored people of Richmond County
Y having received an impression that under
the new order of things, this County was en-
titled to two delegates in the Constitutional
Convention, two colored candidates were in
the field, while others were preparing to enter
4 on the race with them. In this County they
have majority of ninety-seven votes over
the whites, and OF course, it they had persis-
ted in running these candidates the Copper
Johnsons could have readily elected their
man. In view of these facts, and to secure
the success of the Republican candidate,
mass meeting of all the colored voters of the
lower section of the County was called to
meet on Thursday the Sd inst, at Laurin-
burgh. According to appointment, the meet
ing convened at o'clock, P. NJ, of the
above day, when the Rev. James Sinclair, of
Lumberton, addressed the audience for two
hours. At the close of the address resolu-
ton g to aoitlttrao all candidates noao IN the
fielcE' was unanimously adopted, whereupon,
DIR. r. ]. POWELL, of Washington City, and
distinguished son of Richmond County.
was nominated with reclamation as the can
didate of the Republican party for the Con-
stitutional Convention, subject, however, to
the action of the County Convention.
1t is to be hoped that Dr. Powell will ac-
cept this nomination. His acceptance would
harmonize every thing and secure his election
by an overwhelming vote from white and
colored.
The meeting was very large one, from the
fact that in this portion OF the County the
bulk of the colored of Richmond reside. So
briefly, enthusiasm and unanimity were the
most prominent as will as the most pleasing
features in this gathering. The rebels will
not be able to divide the Republicans of
Richmond in the future, if the animus of this
meeting can be taken as a fair criterion of
the sentiments of the whole County.

THE EMEtTE AT GRASSY CREEK.

The public has been utterly misled in re
gard to this affair." We have put ourselves
to some pains to learn the facts. Thus:
A pert, fussy negro boy, (aged 49, came
into Union county, while since, from S. C.,
named johnson. He was twice seen with q
pistol. Hearing of the celebration at Gras
sy Creek, he set to work to show his less apt
brethren how to march. Was seen showing

But for some remarkable reason, this order
was not served " at once, 4" but deferred to the

with the order in his pocket, and attended
by several persons. came to the netting
They were there half an hour or more be

immense procession was got ready to march,
and began to move, the Deputy and his
posse stepped to the head of the colored col

seized him. Austin, not johnson. had and
drew Pistol. The foolish negro raised a

crowd feared fight, and rushed up. Sew

To the nonsinating Committee Of the Repu6zi-

GENTLEMEN Il thank you for the honor
which you have conferred upon me, by nomi-
proposed Constitutional Convention 1t
would be very pleasant to my feelings to &C.
cept of this fresh proof of your esteem and con-
hdence, but the interests of the Republican
party in some of the contiguous counties de-
mand that 1 should decline the nomination
In order to devote mere of my time than l
have yet done to the general interests of the
party; IN harmonlzlng our people, and help
ing them to send true and reliable Union
men to form those organic laws under which
we and our posterity expect in coming years
to live.
When there existed any thing like doubt
as to the triumph of our cause in Robson
kept the field but now that success is GER
tainty, I beg leave to decline being a candi-
date, and hope you will at once nominate
some suitable member of the party to take
my place. Your County, unlike many Coun-
ties around us, has been thoroughly canvass
ed, and the party organization perfected in
fn fri,,
election of any candidate whom you may
please to put in the field. You cannot noao be
beaten.
Many of our neighboring Counties. how
ever, are not so well prepared for the ap-
preaching struggle as you are. The seeds of
division and discord have been sown by the
enemy, among our people, while the Republi-
cans slept. This state of things must be
promptly met. The movements and machi-
nations of our opponents must be met,
matched and overthrown if we would secure
Republican organization for our State
Our principles must prevail, if NortlI-Caro-
INA Is to be restored and reconstructed in
harmony with the principles and policy of
the congress. And to secure this much de-
sired object, we must see to it that not only
our own County, but every other County
within our reach shall send to the Conyen
ton none but tire-tried Unionists and plat
form-pledged Republicans. The success of
our cause IS the synonyme Of an early recon-
struction of The State. .''.... r
have the honor to be, gentlemen,

The sun seeks fast the Eouthern sky, a4 |.
The evening air grows crisp and dill; I
The katy-dids call and reply,
- Their pensive notes the cricket trill.
The bloom of Summer months depart,
But Autumn has its flowers as well;
And richer gifts to cheer the heart,
And gratitude's emotions swell.
The Dahlias bloom in various hue,
The CoScombs rear their scarlet crests;
The Leadworts dress in sweetest blue,
The Pansies glow in clustering nests.
The Ear-drops hang upon their stem,
Like pendants from, lady's ear;
The beauteous Zinnias vie with them,
And bloom in gold and crimson near.
In rich and ever changing hues,
Lantanas peep from mid their leaves;
The Morning glories drenched with dews,

The Mountain Ash, in gorgeous show,
Lifts up her head, all queenly fair;
With scarlet clusters all aglow,
Like red flames blazing in the air.
The bees improve the bright warm hours,
That instinct tells will soon be DER;
And, busy from the lingering flowers,
Haste to complete their winters store.
The grapes blush purple on the vine,
Their boughs the luscious peaches bend,
The tinted pears and apples shine,

The feecy focks bleat on the hills
The lowing herds feed on the plains;
