THE (N ATION I, tO.IVOTIU,
VTe oJsi-rvc that soma mUuniler
slAii'liug exists as to the manner in
whichthe .kh-gutes to the Philatlel
-ha Convention are to he- chosen.
We have before ns the official circular
of the Washington Committee, in
which it is surtretei that they he eho
sen by the "tWo,-. of the several
States,'' and not by tlie Governors
thereof, as the telegraphic reports first
had it. The latter would c, for tunny
reasons, impnietieaMc. Our proposi
tion is, that public niet tin he held in
eaeli county on or before the 18th inst.,
at which delegates should .be elected
to a general Conv ention at Jackson on
the following Wednesday, the 25th.
There wiJl not lie sufficient time for
I'i-tiii-t Conventions. Let each coun
ty send up lb-legates, and let tlie dele
gates from eaeh liistriets, -when thev
get here, select two of their number to
represent them. The General Con
vention could then select four dele
gates for tlie State at large.
The call for the Philadelphia Con
vention meets with very gener
al favor. Let us carry out the pro
gramme as indicated by the origina
tors of the movement. We believe it
will lie the simplest, best and most sat
isfactory mode of securing a full dele
gation from Mississippi.

Point Ci.kaic. We received, too
late, however for our action, a polite
invitation from Gen. Smedes, to be
present during the Fourth of July fes
tivities at this popular summer resort.
The General s:iys : '-There will be a
Grand Kegatta on each of these days.
We have everything prepared for over
two thousand persons. The whisk'
is in the jug; the champagne is on
ice, the lish and oysters are fattened
for this occasion. What a treat to
miss !
CiK.wn Tin ks amknt. We acknowl
edge the receipt of a polite invitation
to be present at the Grand Tourna
ment announced for the LSth and 19th
inst., at Holly Springs. It will un
doubtedly be a splendid affair. The
proceeds are to be applied to the erec
tion of a monument to the Confedi
raie dead of Marshall county. We
expect to be present w ith our not
book.
From Tlx as. We are in receipt of
a letter from John 1). Elliott, Esq.,
formerly of this city, but now mer
chandizing in Lavaca, Texas. Mr. E.
says there is a splendid opening for a
newspaper at that place, aiid that lib
eral inducements will be offered to
any one going there w ith presses and
type. We are also informed, in the
same letter, that our old townsman,
Capt. Robt. Josselyn, is now editor
of the Gazette at Austin.
Jack Downing. We have received
from the publishers, Messrs. Van
Evrie, Horton it Co., 'New York, a
handsomely printed volume, embra
cing the letters of this popular satir
Ut, whose humorous sketches of
Linkiu and the War" attracted so
much attention during the progress of
hostilities. Eyrich, of this cit, has

are pleased to see, iudieates a renewal

broad basis of the reconstruction of
the South, socially, politically, and inn
fcriully. The subscription price is

Dresden, will be appointed command
c-r-in-chief of the Saxon army.
The Boston Post thinks that Dr.
Mudd will die this summer, but says
that "Spangler and Arnold are lively

The Radical Legislature of Connecti
cut is the first to ratify the Kump
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. Not many weeks ago
the people of the same State, by a deci
ded majority, decided against amend
ing their own constitution so as to
give the elective franchise to negroes!
A New Pavvu. The Mississippi
Bulletin has reached ns from Louis
ville, Winston county, J. R Quinn,
Editor. We c heerfully place it on our
exchange list and wish it success.
Female Suffrage. It appears that
in England, as well as in the United
States, there are women anxious to ex
ercise the right to vote. Mr. J. S. Mill,
the well-known political economist
and member of the House of Com
mons for Westminister, has presented
a petition in favor of the extension of
the suffrage to female resident house
holders. The petition was signed by
eleven hundred and fifty ladies be
longing to the upper and middle class
es. -
Two sisters recently met at the Re
lay House, near Baltimore, who had
not seen each other for forty-eight
years, though living only a short dis
tance apart, and frequently exchang
ing kindly messages. They talked
about thirty-six hours, and were still
talking when last heard from.
The Proposed National Convention.
The proposition for a National Con
vention to be held at Philadelphia on
the 14th of August, appears to meet
the approbation of all who desire to
"sustain the Administration in main
taining unbroken the Union of the
States, under the Constitution which
our fathers established." Without re
ferring in detail to the articles of faith
prescribed by the distinguished gen
tlemen from whom this call emanates.
as to what shall constitute eligibility
in delegates, we are sure that there are
but few men in Mississippi that do
not "loyally accept the national situa
tion," and who do not desire to see
our Government rescued from the
confusion and anarchy into which the
Radicals are laboring so zealous- to
plunge it. We cannot remain indiflVr
ent spectators while such a' momentu
ons issue is in process of solution.
We are deeply concerned in the result,
and it would be imbecile and unwor
thy our manhood to accept a degrada
tion which faithful, persevering effort
may avert. We do not know whether
we are in the Union or out of it: but
this we know, that the principles of the
American Constitution, so far from
having been rendered repugnant to the
people of the South by the ordeal
through which they have passed, are
to-day dearer than ever; and for their
maintainance we stand reaJy to pledge
"our lives, our fortunes ami our sacred
honor." We should not, by our own
consent, occupy the position of white
serfs; but unless we co operate with
the fc'ood and true men of the North,
w-ho are fearlessly and manfully bat
tling for our rights, we, may depend
upon it that we have not tt tasted the
dreg of the bitter cup prepared for
us.
We have heard it suggested, and with
some force, that perhaps the Philadel
phia Convention would be stronger for
its purpose by the absence of delegates
from the Southern States that its
"loyalty" as a body could not then be
questioned, while in the contest at the
polls there could be no question as to
how the South would act. Well, it has
seemed good to those from whom this
call originates to think otherwise.
They think that the action of the Con
vention would thereby acquire a more
national character ; and, from the posi
tions which they occupy, we think they
are competent judges of the situation,
and we trust that the-movement which
they have so opportunely inaugurated
will be generally responded to, and
that it may prove to our country the
daw n of a brighter future. If this ef
fort to bring back the Government to
its legitimate ends should fail, then
may we have reason to despair of the
republic. If President Johnson is not
sustained, the South is crushed. lie is
laboring with unexpected, but sublime
devotion, to protect us in our constitu
tional rights. We owe him muchand
we should not be slow, but enthusias
tic, in manifesting our appreciation of
the services he has rendered us and
the wdiole country. The ark of the
covenant is safe in his keeping. Let
us see that it is not wrested from him
by radicals and factionists. Let us
rally to the standard which he has
erected, and labor, with all our might,
to preserve what is left of Consittu-
tional Liberty on this continent.

Convention shall be composed of at
least two delegates from each Con
gressional District of all the States,
two from each Territory, two from the
District of Columbia, and four dele
gates at large from each. We suggest.
therefore, that inasmuch as the time
for the selection of delegates is very
brief, that the people in the several
counties should meet as early as prac
ticable w e would say Wednesday, the
ISth inst., as the day for holding the
county meetings, and the ensuing
Wednesday, or the 25th inst , as the
time for holding the general Conven
tion at the capital of the State. What
say our brethren of the press?
J ml ah P. Itcnjamin at the liar.
Yesterday evening the benchers of
the Honorable Society of Lincoln's
Inn called to bar no less than twenty
nine candidates for forensic honors.
Among these was Mr. Judah Philip
Benjamin, of the late Confederate
States, so-called, of America. A mini
bcr of the members of the English bar
regard the circumstances conuectcd
with the call of Mr. Benjamin with feel
ings of the strongest disapprobation.
Mr. Benjamin has had nearly the whole
of his terms remitted by the benchers
of the Inn, and is by his unseasonable
call, although a novoits homo in his
profession, made to lead, as it is ex
pressed that is, to enjoy pre-audieuce
over distinguished members of our
universities, who have been keeping
their terms for years. Why this has
been done, the public must be left to
judge. What peculiar claim Mr. Ben
jamin can have 'upon the benches of
Mr. Lincoln's limit would be difficult
to ascertain.
Mr. Judah P. Benjamin was publish
ed as a barrister in the usual form by
Sir Edward Kyan, and the presence
of the gentleman who was so lately in
rebellion against the lawful Govern
ment of the United States excited a
good deal of emotion and curiosity.
Vice Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood
was present at the ceremony. After
his call, Mr. Benjamin dined at the
student's table, and at the close of the
dinner the new made barristers being
called up by name to the Variable in or
der to take desert in the private room
of the benchers upon the name of
Mr. Benjamin being called there was
considerable applause, not, however,
unmingled with very distinct hisses.
It is a somewhat singular circumstance
that immediately preceding Mr. Ben
jamin was a dark skinned gentleman
from the East Indies, who will be the
late Confederate's seinor. Some of
the applause was intended for this geu
tleman. Mr. Benjamin is a short,
thick set man, verging towards mid
dle age. The oath of -supremacy and
abjuration was taken by him with the
utmost nonchalance. London Star,

OLD Soso parauhrawJ
Few men of his age have encoun
tered more of the varieties and vicissi
tudes of life than the present Govern
or of the State of Mississippi. In
early life he was put to plowing from
the plow he stepped, with a moderate
education, into West Point, where he
remained something over two "ears,
at least long enough, as subsequent
events have shown, to learn all they
could teach him, and to make him a
scientific, as nature had made him a
gallant soldier. He was expelled from
West Point. On a certain occasion, iu
company with Jefferson Davis, Charles
George Ridgely, of Delaware, and oth
er noble and generous spirits, the em
bryo Governor got on a -tare" and
was unhappily caught at it, and a few
days after, as a sequel to the aforesaid
"tare," "His Excellency," as now is,
was invited to leave, which he did in
double-quick time, returning to his old
home. He soon after married a lovely
and wealthy lad-, was elected to the
Legislature, and was regarded not on
ly as a man of promise, politically, but
as among the wealthiest and always the
ver3' best of men. His home was in
the country near Port Gibson his
"Headquarters" in the town. His name
was on every man's paper, for he
couldn't refuse to do a favor, and as a
consequence he was suddenly brought
to the painful realization of ruin and
poverty, as he has been recently, for
the second time, because of his patri
otic participation iu the war. Alwa3'S
a prudent man, never profligate or
prodigal, he has suffered alone from
his own goodness of heart. In a short
time after his first marriage, he lost his
companion, whom all remember for her
charms and great personal worth, and
in the course of a few years after he
married his present excellent wife,
w ho in all respects, reflects the purity
and perfection and loveliness and gen
tleness of her sex, as fully as the wor
thy Governor does the best of those
of the masculine gender. Prompt to
meet engagements and liabilities,
though it involved his ruin, he surren
dered his possessions, and sought not
to conceal them as was the order of
the day, to meet his security debts, but
after years of trial and trouble, and
through the timely assistance of kind
friends, he was enabled to worry
through his difficulties, and to retain
his property, though for many years
after he felt his embarrassment, but
never quit endorsing for friends in
whom he had faith and confidence. In
18:'J, he was a candidate for the State
Senate against the worthy and venera
ble Win. Briscoe, and after a canvass
of unusual labor and excitement, he
was elected by a majority of one vote,
the county polling the largest vote it
evergave before or since that year.
It was just at this time he was married
to his present wife so he was elected
twice the same year by one vote.
In the winter of 1839, Port Gibson,
amidst its many evidences of flush
times, could boast of a theatre as
handsome and commodious as could
be found in man towns ten times its
size. Stock companies from the
North, with not unfrcquently star ac
tors of rctiown, spent weeks of every
winter in our place, and were always
greeted with large audiences of the
beauty and chivalry of old Claiborne.
During one of these encasements it
Happened that tlie people desired to
manifest special concern for two of
Potter's company Mr. A. A. Adams
and his wife, formerly Miss Mary Duff,
of Philadelphia. They were actors of
great popularity in that day, and Mr.
Adams had made himself very con
spicuous on a previous visit to our
town, in serving the citizens in the
hour of a severe calamity. Grateful
for his kindness, he was invited to
name a day for a benefit he did so,
and the house was "jammed and
crammed." and a splendid wreath of
fresh and fragrant flowers, ajl inter
twined with newly issued twenty dol
lar bills, prepared that day for the oc
casion, and amounting to several hun
dred dollars, was presented to Mrs.
Adams during the performance.
The play was "Virginius,'' in which
Mr. Adams greatly excelled, and al
though we have seen Macready Van
denhoff Forrest, and the greatest of
all, Junius Brutus Booth, we do not
believe any could excel Adams as
"Virginius." The play progressed
the audience seemed carried away with
the gaiety of the scene the pleasure
attendant upon the offering of grati
tude to a generous gentleman and
the touching incidents of the play, the
very best of all the productions of
James Sheridan Knowles. In the
centre box of the first tier, or dress
circle, sat "old Ben" and his bride, the
bride's father and other members of
the famihy. The father-in-law was at
that time attorney for several leading
banking institutions, and as such, it
devolved on him to sue his hopeful
son-in-law, against whom he held judg
ments to the tune of about thirty thou
sand, but his kindness, with that of
others, as we have said before, and
good management, and straightfor
ward dealing, finally saved the accom
modating endorser the bulk of his
property, but we have always thought
the "old lawyer" took advantage of
that opportunity to offer a gentle re
buke to the was-to-be Governor for
his endorsing propensities, as our nar
rative will show.
As this legal gentleman Is mixed up
iu the reminiscences we are relating, a
description of his peculiarities and
personal pulchritude may not be out of
place. He is five feet ten inches in
height of a florid complexion, and
has very keen black eyes his legs are
of the. genuine "Cruikshank" pattern,
and he has a nose long, large, broad,
spreading, and intensely red. Of late
years he has eschewed law-reading,
and has read nothing attentively but
the National Intelligencer and Gibbon's
Rome. He was a prominent and able
member of the late State Convention,
and ranks high for his scholarship and
legal attainments, but although a very
good scholar, and a very mannerly
gentleman, he will say " wjiar" and
"thar," and he "chaws" china berries
in the fall of the year, and "cusses"
when he gets "riled."' He has a life
long habit of twirling a certain lock of
hair on the back of his head, and his
business habits may be judged by the
Tact that he is always losing his spec
tacles anil begging his tobacco. In
early life he started out a dandy, but
failed, and in his expiring Beau Brum
mel effort he lost his first love. In
the days of his prime it was fashiona
ble for gentlemen to wear stockinet
"tights." Our friends' extremities
were so much like the two halves of a
split pine sapling, that he had to envel
ope them in pasteboards to give them
the rotund undulations of grace and
elegance. Thus decorated and trigged
out he called on his "first love"
" I can see his pride
Vtrp through each part of him."
as he stood, a .
Hyperion to a satyr -Early
in the morning our pasteboard
hero was suddenly called to breakfast,
and in bis haste, and being naturally
absent-minded, he left off the trappings
of one leg. As soon as he entered the
breakfast room, bowing and smiling to
"his lovier"' who stood to welcome
him, her little servant girl gazed npon
the legs, one all symmetry, the other
as jagged as forked lightning, and ex
claimed in true nigger style, " Lord,
massa, what's de matter wid your
ee y one of em's done swunk up."
He was abashed and unable to reply,
but the legs " limbered " to the table
the nose reddened to a claret hue, and
our hero left the spot forever, inveigh
ing in some tall "cussin" against
"niggers" and pasteboards. Under a
deep' sense of mortification and chagrin
and bidding "this vain delusive world
adieu," he joined the church, and was
recommended for class-leader; as to
how he lost that high place, this depo
nent deems it prudent not to say.
As we have said,the ecentric gentleman
sat in the same box with old Ben, and
like others was deeply affected by the
thrilling incidents of the play. Vir
ginius stood before the tyrant, Ap
pius Claudius, claiming his child cha
fing as onlv a noble Roman soldier
could, his whole frame throbbing with
an agony known only to the partenal
heart in such a trial. At last after all
sorts of subterfuges and under serious
apprehensions of violence from the
people, the tyrant advises Caius Clau
dius (his tool) to "yield something of
his rights, and let the girl remain at
liberty." The audience, in the inten
sity of the interest and excitement of
the scene, leaned forward breathless,
and eagerly listening, for the play de
lineates one of the most terrible trag
edies that history records, dating as
far back as five hundred years before
the Christian era, and so shocking that
it aroused tlie popidace of Rome to
fury, and the Decemvirs were over
thrown. Caius Claudius replies "If
they produce security for her appear
ance I am content" Just at that mo
ment considerable commotion was ob
servable in the centre box, and the tall
figure of our eccentric lawyer friend
w as seen to rise-tears wer glistening in
crystal drirps in his eyes, and trick
ling down that nose' extending his
arm toward the stage, he exclaimed in
a voice as loud as "several thunders"
"I say, Mister Virginius, hold on "thar"
dont be distressed, Ben Humphreys
is here he'll go the "gal's" security."
The house came down with the most
uproarious and ungovernable applause
the actors were perplexed,not know
ing the cause and our legal friend
realizing for the first time what he had
done, under the excitement of the mo
ment, became so confused that he in
stinctively turned to the gentleman in
the next box and begged a "chaw."
