The s. c. Negro Convention.

The Charleston Nc,rs of Saturday speaks as
follows of tho present aspect of the "Great
Hinged -S.reaked- -and Striped" concern: a cri-
sis has evidently arrived in the policy of the
Convention. Heretofore, its tone has been COM
parativcly concialiatory and moderate. llereaf-
ter, the negroes are likely to form compact,
solid body of voters in one direction. The real
animua of their action-their hate for the land
holder-was yesterday developed TO tho full, and
no man not q member of the Convention could
observe the display of feeling ill-cOncOivcd as it
was, without seeing trouble in the not distant fu-
tarc.
"somc supposed that tho body would bo mode
rato that South Carolina would be able to boast
a more Intelligent and better disposed array of
delegates than any other 'rebellious' State; but
the bubble has burst. Eegro shrewdncss is like
ly to triumph in the Convention, and the Mhirl-
wind set in motion by the whito leaders is fast
progressing beyond their control. The excite
ment yesterday, after the Convention adjourned,
was very great and We seriously doubt whether
there is strength enough among the white dele
gates to hold it in check, unless this desirable OBJ
iect can be compassed by such clever colOred
members as Whipper, Wright, Langley, Wilder,
and others of that cla.s"

An Ant Illustration.

In q recent speech, the eloquent Hon. Daniel
". Voorhees, made the following apt illustration !:
God made the oagle and the owl. He gave to
both plumage and wings. In tho same class of
largo birds of the air ranged He them Tho
samc atmosphere and tho various seasons were
common to both. God created the Caucasian and
tho African With brain, muscle and nerve en-
doyed He them. With blood and soul and tho
erect posture they are distinguishabie us members
of general family. There was for both the
same earth to yield its tillage; the same sunshine
and rains the same seas upon which to spread
commerce; tho same element, for science to e1-
tract benefits for man. AS the eagle to the owl,
50 the white man to tho black, stand in the same
relative positions asthey were found in the twi-
light Of history. Let, the eagle but attempt to
take the owl to its eyricS and its habits, and both
fall to the earth together. Let tho white man as
sumo to make the negro his equal, and the win
effort to erase tho lines drawn by the finger Of
G cd assures the certain downfall of the invaders
of the majesty Of His work of crcntion tho eagle
is ruined with tho owl-and q fitting symbol of
this is the vain effort the American people are
now making"

OBITUARY.

DIED, on the esth of October, 1867, WILLIAM
ANDREWS MARTIN, aged eight years, ten
months and four days.
He was the oldest child of FREEIrAs G.. and
Mrs MAMIE MARTIN the light of their household,
and JOY of their hearts. The grief Of losing so
bright, intelligent and afectionate u child, was
aggravated by the painful circumstances Of his
death. He had grown large enough to follow his
father about the farm, and take interest in all its
various operations; and on that day particularly,
he had been amusing himself by filing the cotton
baskets at tho gin house, to be ready for the gin.
Hsving filled all tho baskets, he went down to
play, and unobserved by any one, got upon the
sweep, and became caught in some way by tho
great cog wheel, and was instantly killed.
Early lost, VIC trust he is all early saved and
can only tender the afscticnate sympathy o. n
large circle of friends to the ocreaved parents.

CHARLESTON, Jan. u.
The entire day was consumed by the
rnged, sreaked and striped," J" in continue
ton of The discussion on the special order Of
yestcrday-the petition to Gen. Canby for the
stay Of all executions on debts contracted
prior to the Both June 1865. The discussion
was carried on principally by the colored del
cgates, some of them expressing kinder sen.i.
mants towards the white people Of the State,
than many Of the pale faced scalawag mem,
bers Of the so.callcd Convention are capable
OF honestly entertaining. 1t was regarded
on the ono hand by extremists that the whites
owning property, who are about to be sacri-
feed at the Shcrih's sales, ought TO suffer by
reason of participation in the war: and on
the ether hand that sales would be made to
SPECTATORS ard strangers who would hold
the property at cxorbtant rates, forbidding
the development of the enterprise Of the col
o-ed race The feeling, however, of the ma
jority is evidently TO protect all classes from
ruin until the Legislature can adopt perma
nant me sures of relief.

General Whites Challenge to General
Butler.
From tho Richmond Register, Radical.]

rum luo NlCuulouu HeS'SleI,
We stated on Saturday that rumor was
current to the effect that General White of
the Convention, had challenged General Bat
lcr, while in the city to mortal combat. The
rumor was only too true, and We have been
put in possession of the following facts:
General D. B. White wrote the letter below
10 General Butler on the l4th OF January,
and had spoken 10 friend to carry the letter
rs soon as written and deliver it to Butler,
but through some misunderstanding White
failed to meet his friend after the letter Was
ready for delivery, aud learning that Butler
intended leaving that night, and not wishing
him to leave the city without receiving the
letter, it was handed to the clerk at the office
of the Ballard, with the request that it be
sent up to Butler. The letter Was sent up
by servant.
General Butler called two or three of his
friends around him, showed them the letter,
and sent verbal message 10 White, stating
that he would give him all the satisfaction lie
desired and then left the city before the mes
sage could be delivered.
White, finding that Butler had lcf, and
next day receiving the message that he (But-
ler) would give him the satisfaction wanted,
Immediately wrote to Butler, asking if such
were the facts He has received no reply to
this. The War Department has recently
mpimented General White, for bis personal
bravery, with brevet, and mc'people, who
don't like General Butler, and they are very
few in number in this vicinity, are malicious
enough to say that he was afraid to meet so
rcdoubtable all opponent.
The cause of the difficulty was general
order issued by Butler, while in command Of
the Army Of the James, rejecting severely
upon Colonel White, who at that time was in
command Of q regiment. The General is
"located" preacher Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church.
The following is his missiYe to Butler:
