AUGUSTA.

AUGUSTA, November l5.-The election
on the question of convention is
quietly progressing in Florida. There
is no doubt but the convention will be
carried by large majority, as the whites
are Indifferent. Dispatches from ITALIA
hassee say the election isgoing on quiet
ly, and there are very few votes against
the convention, the whites generally de-
clining to vote. About three hundred
freedmen passed through here en- ronte
to Charleston to take passage on the
ship Golconda for Liberia.
The Hera2ds Montgomery special
says that in the Alabama Convention,
yesterday, an ordinance was offered to
con6seate q part of the Alabama and

was also offered that all debts contracted
prior to 1861 are recoverable, except
those accruing from the sale ct slaves
The discussion on the franchise ques.
ton was postponed till Monday week,

settle the question in party caucus, from

A resolution was adopted favoring the
passage of an ordinance giving freed
men fair equivalent for their services
from those persons who held them in
slavery after January lst, 1868.
In the caucus of the extremists Wodn ss-

roy There is no reasonable doubt thai
the present low prices Of cotton viii have
a most pernicious effect on the negro
population. Where they have bean
working for half the crop, furnishing
their own food and clothing, and the
employer furnishing the farm, mules,
wagons and tools, with superintendsnce,
which has been the equitable and almost
uniform character Of the contracts made,
the promise now is that there will be a
result of about one bale each, one TO the
employer and one to the farm hand.
This will realize to the hand, at present
prices, about S75, or not more than subj
cient, in most cases, to pay the indebt-
edness for food and clothing already
incurred. And as the negroes pay no
attention to their contracts, it is quite
likely they will cease work and refuse to
gather. the crops made, and for which
they will expect no additional pay.
Planters will thus lose by them, as they
will have to hire the crop picked oat at
not less than one dollar per hundred, or
lose it altogether We have for some
time anticipated no other result
We are now informed from the country
that our worst apprehensions in this re-
spect are beginning to be verified. In
some places the negroes already refuse
TO gather cotton, leave their yearly en-
ployers, seek work by the day or by the
hundred, picking cotton, and are taking
to the woods, and living by stealth and
plumber to an increased extent. We
apprehend that things will simply get
worse and worse. The negroes, we are
informed, are refusing to make contracts
for another year for less than two-thirds
of the next years crop, and generally
refuse to contract at any price. Super
added to the natural Incidence, improv-
idence and decentralization of the race,
is the effect oft Radical teachings and
loyal leagues, the hopes of confscation
and of getting rich by plumber and with
out work.
In Noxubee, Kemper and other coun-
ties in their vicinity, on the line of the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, their conduct
has of late become so vicious and alarm
ing as to induce an application to Gen.
Ord on the part of the citizens for pro-
lection. We fear even more serious re-
suits. Rulers or men who will do nothing
to provide for this state of things, and
who give the ballot to the negro in the
cotton States, are enemies of the white |
human race. Ifthe Government cannot
or will not take the matter in hand, and
prevent stealth and robberies and muir.
ders and rape, already beginning, and
sure to result speedily from this state of
things, there is but one course TO pursue,
and one law for the whites-that of self
defense.

A Wonderful Olsek.

Mr.. II. 0. Morrill,, of Baltimore, has
made wonderful clock. His extra time
for the last fourteen years has been de-
voted to its perfection, and it is indeed
the wonder of the age. The space necesr
sary to display its capacity and operation
Is nine by eighteen feet. 1t runs eight
days, aud performs as follows; 1t
wakes up a household; strikes the
quarters by four aptomatons on four
bellsi sounds the alarm to awaken the
master Of the house lights a lamp and
kindles the fire in the stove; a carriage
is seen coming along o mountain road,
calls at o place Of business and gets a
clock left for repair. The bell is rung to
awaken the servant, who rises in the
presence of the audience, and draws the
curtain Of her chamber to make her
toilet The carriage is again seen upon
. the road when near q rocky covert q
robber springs in front Of the
horses, and a fight ensues A farmer
by the roadside not seeing the
robber, commences TO belabor the
horses. when a hunter in the distance
comprehends the situation, fires his rife
at the robber, who escapes to the mQuns
tain, and the carriage With Its inmates
drives on TO its destination. An this is
done by the machinery Of this unrivaled
clock, which is said to be an admirable
timer.

TIE great local question involves the
extension of the corporate limits of
Memphis, and absorption by the city of
suburban villages, known as Fort Pick
ering, Chelsea and Metropolis. The
districts added will contain as many
white as black citizens; but since all
blacks vote and not one.half of the
whites, little General Smith, Senator
from this county, will be the next Mayor.
Such is the latest programme of the
Loyal League, by which Smith has been
already nominated. am advised that

his black rival the rebel population

it was utterly impossible for him to re-
form. Mr.. Park will command the Irish

troubles, with epidemics, which have
bankrupted thousands and shaken the
strongest of our moneyed institutions.
The best mercantile houses have been
forced to extend their paper. This can
not be renewed, and very few will receive
cotton enough at present prices to pay
off liabilities assumed for farmers. Mer.

be confessed, by Congressional action,
