TRE SOUTUERN RICHTS CONVENTION AT CHARLESTON, 8. C. Eee ‘THIRD DAY'S PROCEEDINGS CONTINUED. ‘Wepxgspay, May 7, 1351. ‘When we closed our last despateh for the mail, Hon. Mr. Oxk, of the United States House of Representatives, had risen to the floor. With im- pressive earnestness and ability he supported the views of Judge Butler again® the separate State action of South Carolina in seceding from the Union. She would be isolated, blockaded, hemmed in, and cut off from all intercourse, domestic and foreign, until the accumulation of the slaves woula be such as to hurry up that war of races and of extermination, which, of all things, is the most dreadful to contem plate in its horrible consequences. At the conclu- sion of Mr. Orr’s appeal, which was listened to with | respectful attention, the Convention teek a recess till 4 o'clock. APTERNOON SESSION. Convention reassembled.

Iu the interval from the morning recess, it was evident, from the conversations of the delegates, that the speeches of Judge Butler and Mr, Orr had. fallen ‘wpon ston, Hon. stand.

We have different ions ofthe practical operation of secession. Our distinguished Senator (Judge But- Jer) says there will be no war—that the contest will be one of custom houses, blockades, duties aud em- dargoes.

Upon thi+ point, Mr. Coleock was very animated, earnest, and @loquent, maintaining with a force which told like eleciricity upon the Convention, that the practical issue of secession once raised by South Carolina, the Southern States must cpme to the rescue—they can- not void it—for that it will be a contest between slaveholders on the one side, and the od bands of * the abolitionists on the other.

The dollar and cent view of the case was almost too grovelling a ques- n between honor and infamy; bat even in that w, the ultimate result would be the redemption ofthe State.

Italian national character, to prevent Americans | from being lightened of their money, and to put an end to these shameful proceedings. The Eco italia contains the following on t subject :— Every year there arrive in this couatry, on board Sardinian vessels, not less than eight hun- dred professional beggars, known among us under the name of catenon. These people come trom Bor- zonasia, Croce, Fontana, Buora Chiavari, and rom the neighboring towns. In these ¢: here are 3) agencies corresponding with those in the United States, through whose medium a heavy per centage is realized on the money collected by the catenont in America. These protessiona! beg- | gars are all landholders in their own country, and their properties to the captains of vessels, to pay their to the United States. Y Tne captains ani the owners of the vessels in Genoa pes Mada this country, assisted by skilful agents, visit the abodes of the catenoni, ah by ex- aggerated tales entice these people to leave their nas the land, with the assurance of finding as much gold in the United States as ih the mines of Califor- nia. A few months after ‘their arrival, they are. generally able to redeem their mortgaged estates. and send money home, either to induce others ta’ come to this country, or to buy more land. | ‘The agents of these professional beggars in Now.

The recent political events in [taly hav- | ing caused a great number of exiled patriots to | leave their native land, the agents of the profes- sional beggars being aware of the era of the American people for the oppressed ia the :ause of | freedom, they introduce these catenon/ to the public as political refugees, or else a» collectors of money | to revolutionize Italy once more. “If the true political emigration from [taly hag | not found in this country the same assistanee and | cordial weleome as the Hungarians, it should be attributed to the society of professional beggars.” ‘Lo suppress such infamous transactions the Aco Kalia proposes, in case there be no laws in.

Young.Carlos Koblin, son of the Countess of Kohhn; Matanzas, had some years previous been banished from the island. He had light hair, and had always worn his beard very long. Some months ago, for the purpose of carrying out some of the plans of the expeditionists, he shaved offhis beard, leaving but his moustache, dyed his hair black, and went back to Havan: His disguise was com- plete, and none of his friends recoguized him.

Al- though in mask, while walking with a lady, his conversation was overheard by a spy set to watch him, and‘as he came out he was itnmediately ar- rested and thrown into the Moro. He was mii atterwards by his sceret friends, but no one could tell what become of him, until it was lately ascertained that he had been confinzd in the Moro, was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to be gar- roted. Kohlin was said to have been one of the most Nach Sma talented men of his age. There are several Spaniards yet in our city connected with the liberation of Cuba.
