"What thoogh the field be toetf All is not lost the unconquerable will, And Btndy of rerenpe, immortal hate. And courage never to submit or yield." 1 We had heard the rumor that a number of Confederates, drawn to this City, by the Federal Court and bya-previou political under- tanding, were engaged in caucusing as' to the best means of defeating the new Constitution to be adopted by the approaching vonstitutional Convention. The result of this caucusing is seen in the Sentinel of Sat urday, last. The proposed Confederate or so-called Conservative; State Convention, whicn was to- have been beicf on the 11th of this month, has again been indefinitely post poned, and a State Executive Committee has been appointed, embracing the leading Con federates or traitors of the State. We give some samples 01 this Committee, that our rea ders may know who are conspicuous in eon tinuingthe work of strife and disunion among our people William A.

D. Hall, i i lhese gentlemen hate prat been voted down at the polls by a majority of 50,000 of t)ur people. Some of them were willing and active parties in the work of secession, which was accomplished as far as it could be, eqnally against the will of the people? some 01 taem were readv and anxious ti fight it out," even with the aid of colored troops, urging all our people nay, forcing them atthe point of the bayonet up to the last moment into the horrors of the struggle, in the vain hopeof saving slavery and of se curing that vicious bubble. Southern independence." At the close ot the rebellion they were unwilling, as they are now, to return to the Union, except on their own terms, with all the offices and honors in their own hands and from that day to the pres ent they have been as factious, as Belfish, and as persistent in their Opposition tarrecon struction as they were desperate and bloody in prosecuting the war against the United Their conduct proves that they are determined never to submit in good faith to the rightful authority of the government; and it will therefore, be the duty of the people of the State to tote them down and govern them in the future as in the past. The factious, and selfish disposition ot these leaders is most manifest, in that they do not propose to' Wait to see what sort ot a Constitution the Convention will make, but they are organizing it advance to defeat it whatever it may be.k 3 it is enough that they will not make the Instrument that it will not provide especially for ihem and their followers that it will be a Constitution 6y the people, ef the people, and for the people, and therefore it must be rejected.

But we have no fears on this score, if the Repub lican masses of the State are only, true to themselves and their principles. We rather rejoice than otherwise the. course pursued by these leaders; for, in the first place, they nave shown 'their hand in time lo enable the loyal masses to circumrert tbem and in the second, place, the agitation they are determined on continuing. will band together still more compactly, if possible, the loyal Voters of the State.

In Charleston District alone there are seventy-six votes less lhan the number required for the call of the Con vention.

It is to be presumed that the vote in the other districts of the State has not been nearly as full as here, where every exertion and effort was. made by those interested to poll the blacks. It is fair, therefore, 'to conclude that the Convention has been de feated. Nothing can be positively coriclnded until the receipt of the official returns. I he number ot registered voters in the State is one hundred and twenty-five thou- sand two hundred and eighty six In order to carry, the Convention it is, therefore, essential that sixty-two thousand six hundred and lorty-three votes in all should have been cast.

We doubt whether this i number has been reached. If the returns to be i received are in the same proportion as those which have already come to handy the number will fall far short of that which is requisite. Char. Courier. StlFFEHEKS BY THE REBELLION.

We pray the Congress to bear in mind that the loyal people ot this State have, succeeded thus far in the work of re- construction against great odds.
