POLITICAL.
The Union State Central Committee of this
State has called the State Convention at Syra
cuse on the 20th of September. The candi
dates to be placed in nomination are as fel
lows: A judge of the Court of Appeals, in place
of Hiram Denio, whose term is about to ex
pire ; a judge of the same court, in place of
Reny IL Belden, - resigned a clerk of the
Court of Appeals, to succeed Frederick A.
Tallmadge ; Secretary of State, Comptroller,
_Treasurer, Attorney General, State Engineer
Stud Surveyor, Canal Commissioner, and In
apector of State Prisons.. The call of the Con
`nation is for the delegates to be chosen from
each Assembly district of the State, and all
persons supporting the administration Of
-Abraham Lincoln, and now sustaining that of
Andrew Johnson and Governor Fenton, are
invited to participate. Of the outgoing , offi

missioner Skinner, and Mr. Clarke, InSpector
of State Prisons, were elected on the Demo

The Democratic State Committee met at the
Delavan House in Albany, and called a State
Convention for the same purpose, to meet at
Tweddle Hall, a place made classic by the
Semi-Seeession State Convention held there in
January, 1861. Each Assembly district will be
entitled to One delegate. It is understood that
the policy of the Regency will be carried out
in the proceedings of this Convention; that
the Administration of President Johnson will
be approved; a soldier or two nominated, and
tl distinguished soldier made president of the
Convention. It does not appear which of these
Military positions will be held by General
John A. Green. The Tammany delegates from
New York city will be admitted and - the other
factions excluded. It is predicted in advance
that a new ticket will be made out on the
broadest platform of loyalty to the Union, and
'that the peace party of Wood and seymour
•will not be allowed a - voice in the matter. To
their counsels are now attributed the former
defeats of the party.

CIRCULAR NO. 2
.210 the Freedmen of South Carolina, Georgia, and
Florida:
In entering upon that portion of my: duty
'which relates to your welfatill, I deem it pro
per to address to Ton a few words of counsel;
By the Emancipation Proclamation of Presi
slant Lincoln, the laws of Congress, and the
will of God you have been declared " forever -
-free." At the outset of your new career it is
important that you should understand some
of the duties and responsibilities of free
men. Your first duty is to go to work at what
ever honest labor your hands can find to do,
mid provide food, clothing, and shelter for
your families. Bear in mind that a man who
will not work should not be allowed to eat.
Labor is ennobling to the character, and, if
rightly directed, brings to the laborer all the
comforts and litvuries of life. The Only argli
litent left to those who would keep you in
slavery is, that in freedom you Will not work
that the lash is necessary to driveyou to the
cotton and rice fields; that these fair lands,
'which you have cultivated so many years in
slavery, will now he left desolate. On the sea
islands of South Carolina, Georgia, and Flori
da, where your brethren have been free for
three years, they have nobly shown how much
better they can work in freedom. Over forty
thousand are now engaged in cultivating the
soil, their children are being educated, and
they are self-sustaining, happy, and free. Some
are woo - king for wages, others are cultivating
the land on shares, giving one-half to the
owner.
The agents of the Freedmen's Bureau will
aid you in making contracts to work for fair
wages for your former masters or others who
who may desire to hire you, or will locate you
on small farms of forty acres, which you can
hire at any easy rent, with an opportunity to
purchase at lOW rates any time within three
y_ears. These are splendid opportunities.
Freedmen, let not a day pass ere you
find some work for your hands to do, and
do it with all your might. Plough and
plant, dig and hoe, cut and gather in the
harvest. Let it be seen that where in slavery
there were raised a blade of corn or a pound
of cotton, in freedom there will be Iwo. Be
peaceful and honest. Falsehood and theft
should not be found in freedom—they are the
vices of slavery. Keep in good faith all your
contracts and agreements, remembering al
ways that you are a slave no longer. While
guarding carefully your own rights, be as care
tnl to violate your neighbor's. "Do unto
others as you would they should do unto
you
In cases where you feel that you have been
- wronged, it is neither wise nor expedient to
take redress into your own hands, but leave the
matter to be settled by three impartial friends
Of both parties. In eases of difficulty between
white men and yourselves, you Should appeal
to one of the agents of this Bureau in your
vicinity, who may . appoint one referee s the
Other party one, and you should appoint a
third, and the decision of the majority should
be considered final. By this easy mode of
fettling difficulties much trouble may be
avoided.
In slavery you only thought of to-day.
Flav
iug nothing to hope for beyond the present,
you did not think of the flame, hut, like the
ox and horse, thon_ght only of the food and
work for the day. In freedom you must have
•An eye to the future, and have a plan and ob
ject in life. Decide now what youare to do
next year—where you are to plant in the
Whig, and heir much—and in the autumn
and winiu Prepare your land and manure for
the early Spring planting. After being-sure
that you have planted sufficient corn and po.
tatoes for food, then put in all the cotton and
rice you can, for these are the crops which
will pay the best. Bear in mind that cotton is
a regal plant, and the more carefully it is cul
tivated, the greater will be the erep. Let the
world see, ere lor the fields of gouth Caroli
na, Georgia, and Florida,l white with this im
portant staple cultivated by free labor.
In slavery the domestic relations of man
and wife were generally disregarded. Virtue,
purity, Ulla honor amongmen and women were
not required or expected. All this must
change now that you are free. The domestic
altar must be held sacred, and with je'alous
care mustyou guard the purity of a wife, a
sister, or a daughter ; and the betrayer of their
honor should be punished and held up to mil
versal condemnation. You are advised to study,
in church and out of it, the rules of the mar
riage relation issued from these headquarters.
Colored men and women,prove by your future
lives that 3 , 0 u can be virtuous and pure.
No people can be truly great or free without
education. Upon the education of your chil
dren depends, in a great degree, the measure
of your success as a people. Send your chil
dren to school whenever you can. Deny your
selves even the necessaries of life to keep
our boys and girls at school, and never allow
them to be absent a day or an hour while it is
in session. ,
- • • ,
Yourliberty is a great blessing which has
been vouchsafed to you, and you should be pa
tient and hopeful. The nation, through this
p h
ureau,has taken your cause in and and will
endeavor to do you ample justice. if you do
pot obtain all your rights this year, be con
tent with part, and if you act rightly all will
come in good time. Try to show by your good
conduct, that you are Worthy of all, and what
•ever may happen, let no uneasy spirit stir you
Up to any act of rebellion against the Govern
iceent. Strive to live down by your true and
loyal conduct the wicked lie and weak inven
tion of your enemies, that in any event you
would agninst that Government and pee
-which have , Sacrificed so many pre
cious lives and so much treasure iuyour

_right to yOurseivcs, your wives

hour,

LEE'S SURRENDER
THE TERMS GIVEN RIM BY GENERAL GRANT,
[Fronk the Chicago Republican, Aug. 1.5, Edited by
C. A. Dana, late Assistant Secretary of War.]
GEM:BRILL Laic.—So long as General Lee re
mains ill this country, and i 3 allowed not only
to go about without punishment, but to pro
claim disloyal and Obnoxious opinions.such as
he fought for against the United . States,
there will always be a feeling of dissatis
faction among loyal citizens. There is
something intensely galling in the fact
that the articles of convention between
him and Grant were so loosely worded as
to afford a loophole for the escape of such a
traitor from the clutches of the law, Nothing
could have been more unfortunate than this
clerical lapsus. It tarnishes what would other
wise have been the spotless glory of the stir
render on the part of our great General. A
little lawyer cunning, a lesS magnanimity and
generosity toward a P.:mei and unscrupulous
foe whom he had already punished, whose
armies were at ; 'his mercy, outgeneraled and
beaten at etn r Y point, would have left the
rebel Chief., who was the intellect and the
11 ettl 10 :1,he ferocious war waged against us, to
be ~w ith according to the forms and
'asages of law.
As the ease now stands, General Grant, whose
presence in the field is inspiration, and whose
battles are conquests, suffered himself to be
drawn into an amnesty. The result is, that
our Government, always humane and mer
ciful, even at expense—on memorable occa
sions—ofjustice and self-preservation, jealous
of its honor and its spoken word, even though
long experience had proved the rebels them
selves to be utterly devoid of all faith, the
result, we say, is, the Government decides to
accept the literal reading of the convention,
and to permit that arch-traitor-to the Union to
go at large, without arrest or trouble.
Davis, of course, is to be tried by a court.
Lee seems to be protected by the, terms of his
surrender from such trial and from the just
punishment it might result in ; but from trial
and condemnation in the tribunal of public
opinion, he is not and cannot be protected.
Tne Nsw COUNTY,—The people of Titusville
and the adjacent section are attentively eon
sidering the preposition of forming a new
county out of portions of Crawford, Venange,
and Warren counties, with Titusville as the
central point. The citizens of Titusville, of
course, agree hpon the necessity of such a pro
ject, and the residents of the surrounding
country are equally interested, and should do
What they can to assist the enterprise. Geo
graphical lines drawn When the oil region
was and promised always to be a cons
parative wilderness, are of no importance
when they directly interfere with the pros
perity of the sections through which they
run. Titusville is not only a large city, and
increasing at a tremendous rate, but it is an
enduring one. It Is no mushroom affair, to be
pulled down as suddenly as it rises. The oil-
Producing region of Pennsylvania is a perma
nent institution. Years of trial have proved
this to the satisfaction of all who have inves
tigated the matter. The want of a City—a me
tropolis—where buSiness, and trade, and pro
fessional interests can find full aceernMedaa
tions, the want'Of Such a city in the heart
of the oil regions is severely felt. Titusville
must be that city. But so long as it is not
the county seat of the adjacent country; so
long as the courts are held seventy miles
away, and all the advantages of a county seat
are denied,'Titusville cannot be what it wonld,
and the oil region mustsuffer correspondingly.
Titusville, as the business centre, must become
the railroad centre, the manufacturing, com
mercial, and professional centre, and it ought
be the legal centre. Under the extraordi
nary circumstances of the case, the three coun
ties should be sliced PO as the interests of the
oil region demand, and no real iciury can re
sult to the said counties. We hope to see all
parties interested take hold of this matter in
earnest, and by proper exertion the result may
be secured ere another summer.—Erie

Jaru DAVIS' FAMILY Ix Ataixr....Three
children of Jeff Davis, accompanied by the
mother of Mrs. Davis and a couple of servants,
passed through Albany, on Tuesday, on their
way to Montreal. The Tournai says they
stopped at the Delavan Rouse for a few hours,
where a large crowd was attracted, and a dis
gusting scene took plane. A number of wo
men went in, and, amid the most extravagant
professions of delight and affection, repeated
ly kissed the children. While the children
should not be held accountable for the deeds
of their father, there is certainly nothing in
them nor their parents that entitles them to
any peculiar manifestations of regard, over
hundreds of respectable children of loyal pa
rentage.

THE VIrJUV-..
BUILDING biPIIGYEMENTS.—The annexed
statement shows the number of buildings erect
ed in the city in each year within the past si±
years. An examination thereof will explain the
reason of the unprecedented demand for houses
at the present time. Building improvements
have not kept pace with the increase in the
population. Hence the reason why dwellings
are now often engaged long before the tenants
have removed from them. In the year 1860
there were many buildings erected, materials
were low and living and the price of labor
cheap. In 1861 the unsettled state of the coun
try kept back improvements, and there was
one-third less in that year than in the pre
vious one. In 1862 the price of labor and
material had but slightly increased and
money 'Was more plenty, and consequent
ly them was an increase of building ope
rations. The same is true of 1861 In
1864, however, labor and materials had more
than doubled in value, and we see the result,
There were not half the number of buildings
erected as in the previous year, and the num
ber was smaller than in any previous year
since 1856.

THE BIRD SEABON.---Reed birds, rail,
teal, and steel beads will soon be in season. A
few of the former have already been heard on
the northern marshes that fringe the Dela
ware, and some of them hive made their ap
pearance in the fens below the city. Really
they are not in season till after the Ist of Sep
tember. From the 10th of that month until
the first frost they are always in good order.
The rail season lasts much longer than that of
reed-birds. It requires a Very heavy frost to
drive them away. They should not be shot
however, before the Ist of September. There
seem to be quite a number of grass or golden
plover. These birds migrate during the night,
and at times the air is vocal with their shrill
warbling. Teal have not yet appeared, nor
need they be exiieeted on the waters of the
Delaware before the latter part of September.
Of course, the eSeiting sport of rail shooting
will soon be in full operatiOn on the marshes ,
The sporting fraternity are getting their guns
and other appurtenances in readiness for the
invasion of the watery domains of this singu
lar specimen of the feathered tribe. Powder
and shot are fifty per cent. cheaper than hot
year.
FUNNY SCENES AT CAMP.—The Provost
Camp, at Seventeenth and Master streets, was
broken up on Saturday, in due form. There
were many funny scenes enacted there. The
bangers-on about the camp were, in some
stances, taken - in and done for by the most
waggish of the soldiers. A Wisconsin soldier,
with one leg : gsgayeg, to be an auctioneer, Re
E39/ 1 1 a portion of a fence to a son of the tme
rald /ale, for two dollars and - fifty cents. The
Cash was paid down. The purchaser went
away, brought his horse and cart to remove
the fence, when he was stopped by the guard,
who knew nothing of the sale, it not having
been authorized. Another soldier sold the
headquarters of the colonel ; the premium was
and time given to the purchaser to pay
the balance. These and many other scenes
were enacted by the Sons of Mars, at the ex
pense of cormorant individuals, whose rapa
city to obtain bargains made them quite ver
dant.
ANNUAL CATO:MT.—CANADA vs. THE
UNITM> STATES.—The lovers of the exciting
game of cricket will be glad to hear that the
annual match Canada vs. United States" is
about to be resumed, and the return match
which was to have been played in 1859, but
which WRO postponed On account of the war,
is now definitely arranged to take place on
me grounds of the Toronto Club, Toronto,
Canada, on the 28th and 29th of this month.
The playing strength of Canada bas been
greatly augmented by the arril of several
drat-class •gentleman players, connected with
the military recently Sent over by England,
and it will require a very strong eleven to
combat successfully with them.
The following have been selected to repre

thirt3--nine years, residing at NO. 1311 No4th

RIOTOUS PROCEEDINOs on BREAKING
CA M e.—On Saturday afternoon a large number
of soldiers, belonging to the Provost Guard
camp, at Seventeenth and Master streets,went
Into the house of John Johnson, No. 1311 North
seventeenth street, and after disposing of
twenty-two glasses of liquor, they 'Waged to
pay for it. The proprietor then attempted
to clear his place of the unprofitable cus
tomers, and in doing so created considerable
excitement, during which it is alleged Mr.
Johnson fired a pistol, a ball from which took
effect in the right side of George Knorr, who
is eighteen years of age, and produced a pain
ful though not serious flesh wound. The sol
diers, enraged, got hold of Hiram Johnson,
aged thirty-nine years, a son of the proprietor
of the hotel, dragged him out, and one of them
struck him on the left templewith a musket.
Both the injured men were admitted into the
hospital. It seems that the Provost camp
was broken up on Saturday afternoon, and the
Guard were having &jollification thereat.

ing, a man named Thomas Pairo, while at

was witnessed by Captain Snyder, of the Vir
ginia, who immediately threw off his coat and
plunged in after Pairo and his child, who were
struggling in the water. It was only after
considerable time, and at the imminent risk
of his own life, that be succeeded in saving
them, and enabling them once more to tread
terra firma. Such a brave deed deserves all
praise.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday after
noon a little ;girl, named Mary Nugent, who
had just attained the age of eight years, was
almost instantly killed at the depot of the

held him so that Mintzer might the more
easily ply the cowskin. The police inter
fered, and three of the parties were arrested
0» sight. A warrant was issued for the fourth,
and lie was taken into custody by Officer
Samuel Smith. The accused were bound over
in the sum of $9OO each, to answer at court.
The cause of the attack was not developed,
Because the hearing was ex parte and the law
does not tolerate =eh abuse. Tice defence
that Mr. Ellis was a captain in the sth Penn
sylvania Cavalry, and A. II Mintzer was a
private. It is alleged the former had the latter
tied up by his two thumbs while in the ser
vice. Now that the regiment is disbanded,
and captains and privates are on the same
level, Mintzer sought to redress the indignity
by a resort to cowhiding his former captain.
The defence, howeVer, is not admissible, under
the ruling of the court, but it may be heard
by the Judge, in case of conviction, in mitiga
tion of punishment.
THE COURTS.
Court of Quarter 5et 4191 01 1 16-11on.JOS0101
B. Ludlow, Associate Justice.
The usual. Saturday's business, viz : habeas
corpus cases, occupied the session.
==!
The Case of Robert W. Smith, one of the
Smith's of t d Smith'c Island) , was heard on
habeas camas. Smith, as appeared front the
evidence, hasbeen confined at Dr. Kirkbride's
hospital since the 2d of August, behaving been
placed there by his two brothers, upon a certi-
Beate by a physician, that he was insane from
the use of aiCOholic stimulants, or, to use the
technical phrase, be was an habitual drunk
ard„and afflicted with "dipsomania,u and was
linable to take care of himself or property.
Upon a partial examination of the ease, where
in an assistant physician of the hospital testi
fied that though Smith had been in the insti
tution for nineteen days, he was unable cer
tainly to Say whether he was a sane or insane
man. A few days more would, he thought, if
the man was left in his charge, enable him to
give a definite opinion.
Messrs. Chapron and Biddle, who appeared
for the hospital, said they were holding this
man without their desire, and that they were
perfectly willing to discharge him npon the
spot if the court would so order. Judge Lud
low Said lie would like to have some time for
reflection as to whether this man should be
released or not, and would therefore postpone
the case until Wednesday next. After some
demur on the part of Mr. King, who repre
sented Smith, and who asked for an immediate
disposition of the case, it was so postponed.
In the meantime the relator was remanded.
ADMITTED TO SAIL
James McGinnis, who has been for some
weeks in custody awaiting the result of inju
ries which he, in connection with others, is
charged with having inflicted on Mr. FDA-
Inger, the keeper of a lager-beer saloon, Tenth
and Ogden_ streets t had a hearing on habeas cor
pus. Dr. Fisher who attends Fiekinger, testi.
fled that his patient, though severely injured,
was now out of danger. McGinnis was there
fore admitted to bail in the sum of *1,500 to
answer at court the charge of assault and bat
tery with intent to kill.
DISCHARGED
Robert Leech, who was committed by Alder
man Beitler, to answer a charge of the larceny
of $8,200, the prop_erty of Thomas H. Waldron,
of theßeystone Factory, at Fairmount, had a
hearing on habeas corpus. Mr. Waldron tes
tified that, intending to leave the city, he had
placed this money in five-twenty and seven
thirty bonds in a common packing-box, in his
office, which was a receptacle for all sorts of
waste. When he returned, the box had been
emptied of its contents, amongst which was
the bonds. The relator had access to this
room in which was the box as others had, but
there was nothing to show that he had any
thing to do with stealing the bonds. He was
therefore discharged.
