LUMBERToN, n. c., Oct. 20, 1868.
Messrs Editors Last Tuesday was a
glorious day for Robeson-nearly all the
inhabitants of the county assembled in this
town to have a grand Mass Meeting, and
Mass Meeting it was. The people turned
out by hundreds and began pouring into
town early in the morning while the can
Gus tones victory to the Conservative cause)
and continued arriving until the speaking
began, all the clubs in the county being
represented.
AS soon as the train arrived, coming
from below, and the band had been placed
in position, the procession began moving
to the speakers stand, where they heard
some Of the>best speeches of the campaign;
the first being delivered by Mr.. French
Strange, of Fayetteville, who gave them
some excellent advice, picturing to them
the rottenness of the Radical party.
Tho next speaker being our candidate for
Elector Zone worthy of the position), Mr..
Dobbin, of Cumberland, who may we'll be
proud of her son, exposed the corruption
of the scalawag and carpet-bag party. [
will not attempt to portray to your readers
an account of his speech, rs it would be
utterly impossible for me to do so, but 7
can say he impressed upon their minds
that the Radical party was the most cor
rupt party that inhabits this globe.
Judge Meares was then introduced to
the crowd, who kept them spell bound by
his forcible remarks for nearly an hour.
Then came DR.. Dwynelle, who was lis
tened to very attentively, doing q great
deal of good, every one being pleased with
the contempt he seemed to possess and ex-
press for the league party. All the speeches
were highly appreciated by all I heard
of them The crowd then dispersed, scat
tering themselves through the town, COM
menting on what they had heard.
After dark speeches were delivered by
Abraham Mckenzie, Levy and Baker.

Democracy with vim. I am sorry the

farce in the court house at the time to pre-
vent them from being present.
There was one thing in the procession
that attracted my attention-it was trans

The Louisiana Sugar Crop.

The damage to the sugar crop in Louisi-
ana, though quite serious il some sections,
has not been SO disastrous as first reported.
The crop is now set down at 100, coo hogs
heads, which is vast increase over that of
last year. y correspondent OF the New
Orleans Picayune, writing from the parish
of Plaquemine, ono Of the best sugar par
ishes of the State, says =" From every
locality wherein the sugar cane is oultiva-
ted on this coast, tho yield both il guam
tity and quality, promises to be q 1it end
ing to a glorious spring, Summer and au-
tumn. The atmospheric conditions of the
last few days have checked vegetation and

Der the probability Is that some Of our
mills will, this season, be in full operation
before the ED OF the month. The first lot
of sugar of last years growth, manufacture
ed in this parish, reached your market on
the 18th of November in 1865, on the 10th
Of November ; in 1864, on the 22d Of No
vember ; and in 1868 on the 18th of No
vember. Last year the winter was SO I'M
usually mild that the sugar cane bloomed

The Tricnnial Episcopal Convention.

In this body, on Tuesday, Rev. DR..
Haioht from the committee on canons. re-
ported land the report was adopted, that
it is inexpedient to grant the prayer of cer-
tain memorialists, that any minister might,
| in the Book of Common Prayer, omit such
! words, or expressions, or passages as he
might conscientiously believe to be not in
accordance with Holy Scripture, for the
reason that it would destroy uniformity in
public worship, and also deprive congre-
cations of their right to Uniform liturgy
and in contravention of the constitution OF
the church.
The committee also reported against the
proposition to curtail the period Of proba-
ton for ministers of other denominations
seeking ordination in the Episcopal
| Church. DR.. 81. said the time, as now fix
ed, was six months. Ii the prayer of the
petitioners were granted, then minister
might preach in one place to-day, and In
the Episcopal Church one week afterwards.
Adopted.
An animated debate followed on report
| from the committee to whom was referred
canon proposed by Rev. DR.. Adams, in

substituted therefor resolution declaring
that, until the collection of hymns be re-
yised, it shall be lawful to sing any hymns
from the books known as HYMNS An
cient and Modern" and Hymns fol

the bishop of the diocese. The resolution
as reported by the committee was adopted.

Appeal fer tue Soutn.

Bishop Atkinson, of North Carolina,
delivered a discourse Sunday morning az
Trinity Chrrch in ala Of the destitute peo-
pie of the south, and particularly the SUI
fering ministry. He selected his text from
Matthew xvi: 26-'' For what is man
profited if he shall gain the whole world
and lose his own soul ?" Il was an indis-
putable fact that the clergy Of the south
since the late war have suffered the most
extreme poverty and privation. Most OF
the wealthy men upon whom the Churches
relied mainly have been impoverished and
those who bad property remaining were
obliged to leave the country or sacrifice
all. The clergy had neither means to go
away, il they We're SO disposed, or to sup
port them at home. He related several
principal cases Of restitution he had wit
messed, and closed with a fervent appeal i'll
their behalf to the liberal churches OF the
north. 4 large contribution was taken up.
