The Executive Committee of the
Conservative party have agreed upon
a Convention, to be held on Thursday,
the 18th inst, delegates to which are
to be elected by primary ward and.
district meetings, to be held on Satur-
day, the 10th. The number and APP
portionment Of delegates viii be found
in another column. Both, as nearly
as is possible, satisfy the claims of the
city and county. In all dley VIII
number n hundred and eight, and
we hope will comprise our hest and
most intelligent material. To this
end we conjure our citizens TO labor.
1t is important that our nominations
shall be such as will commend them
selves to all the people of the county,
and convince our opponents that we

-PEABODYSA DDTTTONAL GIFT

-PEABODY'S ADDITIONAL GLf1
On the first inst. the Trustees ofthe
Peabody Educational Fund -held-a
meeting at Newport, Rhode Island,
at which the Hon. ROBERT G. WIN
.THRoPE read a letter from the VEN
cradle friend of education at the
South, in which after congratulating
the Board upon their admirable man.
agement of the trust repOsed in them,
and thanking "with al his heart the
" people ofthe South, themselves, for
" the cordial spirit with which they
have received the trust" he pro-
ceeds to make an additional gift in
State and Railroad securities, amount
ing in all to 81, $4,000, expressing the
desire "that when the trust is closed,
land the final distribution is made
" by yourselves or your successors, all
" the fourteen Southern States, in
g Guiding Maryland, Kentucky, Mis-
souri, and Texas, shall share in that
" distribution according to their
I" needs"
The interest on the first and present
Gift makes the annual revenue of the
trust over one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars, an amount consid-
cred amply sufficient to meet all the
requirements of the trust without in
fringing upon the capital.
As the New York WOytd remarks,
in commenting upon this fresh proof
of the goodness of MI. PEABODY's
heart, ga gift like this is too stately
: and magnificent to require praise
1t is above and beyond all praise,
coming as it does with the most
Christian-like expressions OfhOpe and
blessing. and springing from the
purest and most patriotic motives.
Mr.. PEABODY has ennobled himself
beyond any title of Ours to express,
and must take rank as the most
princely and munificent friend of lie
poor and needy. Though well de
served, neither the beautiful statue
erected in his honor in London, MOI
the medal voted him by Congress, are
necessary to keep alive the memory O
a man whose name is a synOnyme fol
beneyolence.

The telegraph brings US intelligence
ola battle between the Cuban patriots
under General JORDAN and the Span
ish forces. The account is meagre but
satisfactory. 1t recounts the success
Of JORDAN, who commanded in per-
son a force numerically smaller than
that to which it was opposed, putting
the loss Of both at two hundred killed
and wounded, among the former
twenty Americans. The fighting
must have been desperate. 1t lasted
eight hours, and resulted in the Span
iards seeking shelter and a cover.
As this is the first encounter between
the hostile forces in Cuba that can be
dignified by the name of battle, its
close 50 disastrous to the Spanish Gov
eminent, cannot but have q most sal
utary effect upon the patriots, stimu-
lating and sustaining them. 1t will
infuse them with fresh ardOr, and in
spire them with new hope. Here ii
viii have the effect TO encourage en-
listments, additional subscriptions OF
money and Of arms and ammunition,
and perhaps to break down the en-
nifty which Secretary FISH has al
ways, when occasion offered, exhib-
tied toward the Cubans and their
cause. Added to the discomfort OF
the volunteers, the effects of the
vOmito, and the intense heat of a
tropic sun, this victory of JORDAN
will have great effect, and may prove
the turning point in the Cuban revo-
luton. We hope 50, if for no other
reason than that the people Of Cuba
may be saved from the assassinations
and butcheries that have rebaptised
the Spanish name as infamous.

WE regret that we are compelled to
substantiate the news article which
appeared in our columns some days
since, headed "Blood Money" The
facts therein alleged as to STEARNEs,
WAYNE, WHITING and TURNER are
too true. They were CLAYTON's tools
in the awful scenes that t%ranspired in
5 Crittenden County, Ark, and are to
be summed as bad men, responsible
in great part for the outrages there
enacted. The people of Fayette
county, Miss, will do well to keep a
sharp look out for them. They cam
