Representatives OF all the ocean telegraph enter

THE people of Louisville are pre-
pairing for the great Commercial Con-
vention to meet in that city on the
18th of October. The hotels have
been put in order, the Chamber Of
Commerce have made their arrange
ments. railroads have contributed
half fares in order to insure a crowd,
and the people, true TO the hOspitable
and generous spirit that has ever
characterized Kentuckians, have de
termined upon opening their hearts
and homes to the distinguished stran-
gers, who rom every party OF the
south, the West, the East and the
North will on this occasion be gath
cred in the Falls City. From our own
State, city and county a goodly dele
cation will be sent. The railroad,
commercial, agricultural and trade
interests of Tennessee will be repre-
sented by men of experience. OF abil-
ity, Of education, and of such force Of
character as will ecure them place
among the best from our sister States.
Our own Convention, the initial o.
those of New Orleans, Keokuk and
this to come off at Louisville, accom-
plished for US a world of good. We
trust the gentlemen of Memphis who
may attend at Louisville will study
the movements that may be made
there, and bring back to us every
word, line and chapter of the lesson
it will convey. Otherwise, it will be
barren of results to US.

of Gibson county for good sense and a

CATION of this affair, as well as the tes-
timony of persons residing in Hum

those of Tennessee generally, are pre-
pared to support the authorities, vim
dicate the laws, and help to enforce
them.

NOTWITHSTANDING the law expressly
fOrbids the expectation of coolies by
agents, it appears that Koopmanschaap
still intends 70 attempt his scheme of for
warding Chinese to the United States in
large numbers. ASan Francisco dispatch
says he left that city yesterday for New
York, and that he will visit the cotton
States prior to his departure for China.
The above is taken from JOHN w.
FORNEY's Washington Chronicle of
the 10th. The animus is evident
enough. He knows well that KoOP-
MANsCHAAP has no intention of viO-
lating any law of the United States
by the introduction of any but volun-
tary immigrants. Wehope the Presi-
dent does not sympathize with his
Washington organ in the disposition
to charge on the Chinese agent or his
friends, a purpose TO viOlate;the laws,
when that would be as fruitless as il
is unnecessary, and contrary to the
designs of all concerned in the matter.

ONE reason Of the fact that negro
labor has been found available for the
production of cotton is that they have
been trained in the field from eight
and ten years of age, taught the busi-
ness thoroughly, and taught nothing
else. The females Of the old genera
ton now ape the ladies, and cease to
labor. The males r passing away
as well as reduced in number by how
ering about the cities, and in efficiency
bv freedom o rnatural Incidence. The
Young are not now put to field labor
so early or so generally as formerly,
and comparatively few are born.
| How, then, is the necessary supply OF
labor to be kept up? How are We
again to make five millions bales of
cotton? How are the spindles of the
North, England and Europe, to be
kept running, with cotton necessitated
to command thirty cents by the
diminutiOn of labor? How else
can it turn out but that the crop of
this country Will be diminished, and
the monopoly of production forced
from our soil? 1t is impossible that
we should make more hereafter, with
/ the labor we have, than we are al
ready making, stimulated to produc-
ton as Is our population of all colors,
by the equal of twenty-five cents in
gold, against nine cents, which was
in former times the full average rate.
The cotton supply of the world will
be furnished by other countries, and
the monopoly and almost the produc-
ton Of this destroyed forever, unless
labor is brought in, and that the Chi
nese, which is the only labor capable
of competing here for the old mas
terry. We are glad to observe that
the manufacturing capitalists of the
Northern States are beginning to look
into this matter. 1t is of equally
great importance to them and to us.
They must have the staple to work
up. or their machinery will stand idle
with our lands, and the large capital
in both remain unproductive. The
introduction of Chinese labor is Of
vast importance, and, indeed, alb
solutely indispensable to both
these interests, which, antagO-
nizing as they have been sup
posed to do, are thus brought to COM
bine. If the Government neglects to
foster these two great leading inter
ests of the country, it neglects to pro-
mote its prosperity and the means to
payment of taxes and the extinction
of the public indebtedness. 1t Is to
be hoped that the examination OF this
subject by the authorities at Wash
ington viii lead to their positive en-
couragement Of the schemes for intro
ducing Chinese immigrants. We
may rather look for aid from the
Government, than expect repression
or prohibition.

THE cOncOurse of citizens who as
sembled at Nashville on Sunday, the
18th instant, to pay their last tribute
to the memory of JOHN BELL, was
immense. 1t was a testimonial from
the heart, in which the whole State
spoke, through its representatives
there present, its sincere respect and
love for the great statesman, patriot
and sage, who was without a rival,
and left no peer. His integrity
through a long life was spOtless, and
his untarnished name will live when
that of kings, emperOrs and placemen
will have sunk to oblivion. No mere
party hOnOred him, and none was
sufficient to do him honor. The
whole nation mourns this last among
its venerated dead-the associate and
equal of CLAY, WEBSTER and CAL
HOUN of JACKSON, GRUNDY and
PouK, of CR~ITTENDEN, preston and
KING, of BURGESS, CLAYTON and
WHITE. He has gone to his rest.
But he has left to Tennesseeans the
legacy OF his great and good and hon
Orable name.

For several days the telegraph lines
have been burdened with the partieu-
lars of the most heart-rending catas-
trophe that has occurred in the United
States since the awful Sultana disas-
ter, by which twenty-three hundred
soldiers We're launched into eternity
without a moments warning or any
the most ordinary mean of escape.
For a few days after that occurrence,
as is usual in this country, the people
stood aghast. The press teamed with
accounts of the awful accident and
threatened direst consequences to
those who might, upon investiga-
ton be found responsible for it. But,
a few days passed and the
public voice "a as hushed and still
as the waters of the great river that
passes over the remains of the gallant
dead. So with this soul-harrOwing
AvOndale catastrophe. Loud as the
wall Of the poor widows and orphans
rises the plant of the press. News
papers now threaten, call aloud for
vengeance upon those to blame for the
sO-called accident, but in a few days
all will be silent. So hurried is the
march Of events that we have but time
to read the details of n sensation
before another occurs On the heels
of the announcement of the loss of
Secretary RAwLINs, Ex-Secretary
FEssENDEN and contempOraneOus
with the death Of the great statesman
of Tennessee-JOHN Believe have
accounts Of this AvOndale horror, or
series of hOrrors-fOr every day, until
yesterday, brought new tidings and
dire of the results attending the ter
rible affair. The soul sickens at the
bare thought of more than two hun
dred men running first to barricade
n recess deep down in the earth,
then another, until the farthest
was reached, and at last lying
down to die some of them calmly
and resignedly, Others in a despair
worse than death itself. That recur-
n of such awful events can be pre-
vented there is no room to doubt, if
those who legislate but do their whole
duty toward such as 90 down into the
bowels of the earth that hearths may
be kept aglow and the cheer of. a
warming fire may keep the cold OF
wolfsh winter away from a thousand
doors. These honest, poor pee
nile deserve all the protection
their fellow-citizens can give, and the

YESTERDAY, the centennial ami
versary of the great HUMBOLDT, was
celebrated with becoming ceremonies
by eur German fellOw-citizens.
They marched with trumpet,
drum and cymbal" to a sha-
dy grove, and after pronOuncing eulO-
gies upon him whose name is his best
eulogy, dispersed in groups and
spent the day in the rational and
agreeable manner usual to such
occasions. In thus hOnOring and
perpetuating the memory Of the
greatest intellect of the centu-
ry-perhaps the greatest the world
has ever known-the German people
do but honor themselves, do but give
impetus to that growth Of intelli-
gence and love Of intellectual pursuit
which has achieved for their race pre-
eminence in science and art. The au-
thor of the Cosmos is immortal,
and his fame as enduring a the eter-
nal SHOWS of the mountains whose
heighth and depth he knew a with

Does this prove that "there is to-day
no" Radical ''truly national party in
existence?" And from whence does
the Banner get its patent right fortais
exclusive use of the Universal Suf-
frage thunder, and why rob GREELEY

profit of its invention?
In the above extract, the Banner
declares for the "new party move

understood that to be its position,
then that it denied the soft impeaeh-

in that doubtless the Conservatives
