SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL CONVENTION.
Dr.. a. E. Plough is endeavoring to
inaugurate Southern industrial con-
vent,on, which shall have for its object
the education Of the young men Of
the South iu practical mechanical
schools, where they may be taught.
The day fixed upon for holding the
convention is the 18th OF next April.
The preliminary arrangements and
the plan for the final operation Of this
project will be given at an early day.
We were shown circular, setting
forth the objects, etc, Of the conven-
ton, which was numerously signed
by some Of our largest merchants and
most influential citizens.
That the South needs mechanics
of her own, and that she has been too
long dependent upon the North, in
this, as in many other respects, does
not admit of a doubt, and any plan
looking to the education Of our own
mechanics, and to the development OF
our own resources. should meet the
appreciation and cordial support Of
every Southern man. We wish the
doctor SUCCESS in bis very laudable un.
dertaking.-Nes0 Orleans Pacayune.

From the N. o. Times Special Dispatches
WASHINGTON.
Great Excitement at the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 22.-At about Z
o'clock this moring the United States Mar
shall of this District arrested Gen. Thomas,
Secretary Of War I'D interim, upon war
rant from Judge Carter of the District
Supreme Court, based upon the affidavit
Of Stanton, setting forth that Thomas was
obstructing the execution of the tenure of
office law.
Gen. Thomas was taken before Judge
Carter, and gave bail in five thousand dol
for his appearance for hearing.
Gen. Thomas then proceeded to the
White House and then had an interview
with the President then at IL: 80 he went
to the War Department to resume possess
ion, which he claims he has had continn-
ously since yesterday. He found his former
office (Adjutant Generally locked, barred,
and Stanton had the key proceeded to
the office of the Secretary found Stanton
there, in company with Grant, Gen. How
ard, and several Radicalmem bers of Con-
gress. These parties are all now holding

seats reserved for them on the stage
near the orator "a request which
was duly complied with.
At the head of the procession as it
marched through the streets, large
well painted likeness Of Washington
was borne aloft by Mr.. Dundas, a
member of Washington Fire Com
pany. This likeness was afterwards
honored with conspicuous place in
the Theatre, where it remained as
one Of the objects of attraction.
The day was ushered in by a
salute of artillery, the rounds num-
bering thirty-seven, in token of the
full complement Of States supposed
to compose the Union. Similar sa-
lutes were fred at intervals during
the day, in the city and at the gar
rison.
The grand finale Of the days pro-
ceedings, viz the Ball,-was an
event as brilliant as it was success.
full in all its various features of man
agement, attraction and enjoyment.
Never, on any previous occasion,
was the large and elegant hall Of the
Theater SO filled to repletion with
the gay and festive. The crowd Of
ladies and gentlemen was SO dense,
that it was difficult, at times, to OBJ
tain space enough on the floor for more
than one set Of dancers at time !;
whereas, the hall is usually capable
Of accommodating four sets at once.
The supper was also notable, af-
fair, being profusely supplied with
luxurious dishes and beverages worthy
the indulgence Of the most fastidious
epicure. Altogether, the Ball with
its numerous, accompaniment Of So
cal gaiety, mirth and pleasure, was
an entertainment which contributed
largely to the enjoyment of the MEM
orable occasion which called it forth.
The entire ceremonies attending the
celebration Of the late glorious ami
versary, were admirably well ar
ranged and conducted, and reflected
much credit upon the firemen and
their managing committees.

INSECTS IN. RAW SUGAR.-Two
forms Of insects are always found, in
greater or less number in raw sugar
an acarus, or understanding like
that of cheese-apd several kinds of
small beetles or coleopetra, which,
however, appear to be there for the
purpose of preying on the mites.
The number Of the latter is very
great-amounting sometimes to sew
eral hundred thousand in single
pound of sugar. They are sluggish
in their movements, and visible to
the naked eye, asa kind of reddish
dust. A peculiar disease among
those who handle raw sugar, and
known as the sugar itch, is caused
by these mites effecting a Judgment
in their hands-just as will the true
itch insect, which is also acarus.
Refined sugar is free from these
acari, owing to the process of prepare
ton, and the absence of the nitro
genized substances which constitute
their nutriment in the raw sugar

that petition has been received at
the former place from citizens of
Baton Rouge urging the removal of
their postmaster. We can hear Of
no such petition ever having been

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-One of the
soldiers at the garrison, whilst en-
gagged in firing salute in honor of
Washington's birthday OH Saturday,
had both his arms blown off from a
premature discharge Of the cannon
while he was ramming the charge.
One of the arms was taken off Just
above the wrist, the other just below
the elbow. A portion of the unfort-
innate mans breast was also torn off.
He is still alive, but can hardly sur
vive his injuries much longer. In
deed, death would be preferable to
life, under such terribly agonizing
