It gave to families ions of land in aceordance with the numbers in each family. , God made the earth to subsist his crea- tures, and the imperious law of necessity if you do not use it for the purpose for which it was created. P We tell you righ t frankly we intend to enjoy the fruits sso sod. no.clan. shal! monopolize them. Your proposal is abeurd and rediculous: It is abeurd to yourselves, if you bat pon- der over it ; to displace middle men now existing, and create mew ones, of your What a-pity man cannot look about the fallen fruit which strews the ground ; and stop not at the sight of the tree which - grew it but allowiug his mental vision | flight, catch inspiration from the contem plative mercy of the lavish boanty whieh the beneficent Creator has showered upon | him. Net for bim alone do the trees bear: their luxurious fruit; not tor them only who own the orchards do the rich clusters weigh their boughs. Man’s greatest geod, for plenty, and for couviviality, and re- ciproci’y, is with that fulness, and freedom to use, and di»burse, which, like the man- na from heaven, or the fallen waters from own appointment, would be like plowing up an old garden which had grown for years, and planting iu liea thereof a new one, whose bushes could yield neither fruits or flowers equal to the old one dia~ placed for at least a decade. Corruption will creep into your organization ; your appointments will spoil on your hands; your chosen men will be crude and liable to imposition They will be raw and disappoint you in your expectations of integrity ; for corruption engenders more. in the spoils of office than when it rests on the busis of its own accredited reputation, which has been gained by the creditable 26 and 27 of chapter 32 of ‘the Revised 33."

When he grows older he will crave spices and tobacco and and give pungency to tasteless though healthy food. No man who. grows up from such childhood is going to have the firet position of honor and trust and use-~ fullness in the community where he lives. The men who hold those positions were fed with milk and bread and mest when they were young and not’with trash. Now, the mind like the buy grows by what it feeds upon. The girl who fills ber brain with silly, seutimental, love sick stories grows up into a ailly, sentimental, Jagkadaisical woman, useless for all the nobje avg sybstantial work of life.

The use of the house, which he does not ‘pay for, ie as much part of his income as the money which a calaried man pays for ‘rent, is of bis, and rhould he couuted as ‘such in an estimate of the profits of the farm. All thinga produced on the farm and consomed on the farmer’s table, in-: cluding the vegetables from the garden, | the eggs and milk ased in cooking, areas _ much part of his income as the money | paid for such things oat of his sulary is of the salaried man. It a farmer gives his wife and children a pleasant ride to town, asing bis own boree and wagon, the value of their use is part of his income from bis farm, as truly as the money the other man ays out of his salary for carriage hire of is. The correct rale for estimating the income from a farm-ie substantially this ; give ctedit for every article prodrced, used or expended in any way whatever, no matter how small in value, as well as for gash received for products sold, and for inerease in value for form property, and agsinst the farm for interest oa capital invested, and for all expendi- tares.

If liberty in this coun- try is to be preserved, if peace ie to be maintained, and prosperity and happiness assured, the people must awake from their slambers and resolve to wage dn ancom- promising war against Radicalism, against monopolies, rings and exorbitant Usury. These are vicing with each otber for the mastery over the masses—to make slaves of the people—to cheat and swindle them @ it of their liberty and their sabstance. **Eternal vegilauce isthe price of liberty.’ —_——-_-—— The Money rings are laboring hard to prevent the Legislature from enacting a usury law, fixing the interest on money at reasonable rates. Will the Legislature heed the paid for arguments of the ring, and leave the people at the mercy of these money kings. The large monopolies, and the rings, money and Railroad, are strag- gling to place their feet upou the necks of the people, and by :eason of the bribery and corruption of legislative bodies in * this country, they have well nigh succeed- ed. Ifthe thing is to go on there will soon be a moneyed oligarcliy—a few men who wil] dictate terms to labor and fix the value of money to suit themselves. Very large numbers of the people are now but the slaves of the money kings, baukers and brokers. a From the money centers come the ar- guments in favor of licensing the money sharks to prey upon the people. Ingen. ious articles are pat forth to convince the people that it is to their iuterest to pay enormous usury on what money they are compelled to horrow ; that money should be “free,” untrammeled, and that the money lender shall have the legal right to exact from the borrower whatever rate of interest he may see fit, when he catches him in a strait. Woe be~to the Legia. Jatare :hat will sanction such an outrage upon the masses of the people. We do not believe that the flimsy arguments of the money ring will have any bearing with the preseut Legislature of our State. The people want, and they intend to have, ‘pooner or later, a stringent Usury law. Many of the Southern Siates have, since the war, repealed the old Usury laws, and the result has been most disastrous to the masses of the people. ‘The laboring clas- ses have grown poorer day by day, while the epeculator, the bauker aud the broker have grown richi, RESTRICTED CONVENTION. Many of those who have jast come over to the Convention move, favor it restric- ted. Well, it matters very little what excuse ja given for espousing the cause now, sinee the large majorities of the people are determined to have it, no matter who favors or apposes. If the present Legislature, representing the Conservative party, faila to do its duty in the premises, it and that party will slink away ont of sight, while pew men and new organizations will trample upon their grives. But the idea of restricting a Conven. ion is, to our mind, an abeurdity, especially is itis propused to be done by the Genera! Assembly. It is true that we once had a restricted Con- vention, but those restrictions were made binding by reason of the fact that they were ratified or sanctioned by the pee- Wishoat this ratification they would vot bave been regarded by members as valid or binding. Those restrictions were merely instructions given the delegates at the time of their election, and in this sense were held to be binding. But the idea of the General Assembly restricting the Convention! It is the creature restricting the creator—the people agreeing to run a race and then binding themselves with chains just before the race. In other worda, it ia the people restrictiug them selves. _ Now, the reasons which heretofore sug- gested restrietions no looger exist. They arose from local causee, a vort of rivalry between the East and the Weat. But now there are no such causes aud no ne- ceesity for restrictions. But restrictions or no restrictions, let ua have a Conven~- tien and without further delay. A large majority of the Conservative party is io favor of it, and of course the minority shoald acquiesce. Ifa large majority is Bet permitted to control the action of the party, then is is time it was barst up, and 20 will say the people. A party bas Jost its usefuluess as a party organization when the mijority is uaable to control its If calling a Convention and the party, it is not worth saving.

Frow the captions of acts published in this issue some idea can be formed of the vaiue and amount of work already execu- ted by the Legislature. Our readers will form their own opiniaus, and lest they judge too harshly, we will ouly say that tnany of the members are new and inex- perienced in legielative matters. ‘There is yet time for this body to redeem itself, and remedy the mistakes wi.h which it may stand chargeable, If the members shall return to Raleigh on the 18th iust, and proceed to perfect and adopt such measures of general interest as are most needed, they will do much to relieve them- selves of the charges already preferred VD. R. Watson. againat them. It was not expected that the present Legislature would waste any time on private bills, or in attempting to pass laws in violation of the Constiution, siuce this sort of legislation had wrecked two previous bodies ; but it was expected that past ex- perience would not be lost on the peuple’s representatives, and that the effect would prove beneficial. [t may be that it is too soon for the errors of the past to be cor- rected, but it is uot too soon to cease to commit thein. It waz well known that the present Constitution stands in the way of such legislation as the people mostly needed, This being the fact, it was not unreagon- able to suppose that a Legislature, having the welfare of the people at heart, would at once set about remodeling that Con- stitution by the most expeditio.e and cheapest means. It required but little investigation to ascertain that the Conveu- tion mode was the one above all others to secure the desired changes. Yet a Conven- tion has not been called, bat we still hear of weak kneed members writing home to ascertain from their constituents whether it is necessary to call a Convention or not. Such want of capacity, firmness, fintess for legislative functious have rarely been witnessed. There was a general demand from the tax-ridden people for a Usury law, for a law to protect sheep and birde, and for some other measures of general interest that were presaing and important; yet none of there have been touched. Bat, as we said bi tore, the time is not yet too late, and we hope the people will be pa- tient and bear with the General Assembly a little while longer. There ia a disposi- tion on the part of many members to do their fall dnty, and meet all the require ments of tue people. patience. We therefore urge See Latest from New Orleans. New Or.eEays, January 5.—Sheri- dan has assumed control of the Depart- ment of the Gulf. Ina dispatch to the Secretary of War, dated headquarters of Military Division of Missouri, New Or- leans, January 4th, says he regrets to announce a spirit of defiance to all lawful authority, and an insecurity of lite. In the House, upon the permanert or- ganization, Wiltz received fifty-eix votes, Hahu two, and Blank one; a quorum voting. Waltz was declared speaker ordered the Sargeant-at-Arms to prevent departures. The clerk was then elected. Swearing in members commenced, and reveral ecuffles ensued from the Radicals endeavoring to leave the Hall. A federal officer was sent for who entered the Hall with two staff officers, and subsequently called in fifteen armed soldiers. ‘The members not declared elected while pro- testing were led from the House. The old clerk was placed at the desk by two soldiers. Wiltz aud all the Democrate now left the Hall, and the Legislature waa wiibout a quorum. Was ever the like known before ? Federal officers organising a State Legis- lature by dictating its officers! A State that snch old fogies as Calheun, and Clay and Webster were wont to regard as sov- erign thus trampled upon by Federal power, &@ power creatcd by the States ? Is there any greater outrage for the peeple of these so-called sovereign States ? Is there any lower deep—can a people siuk any lower, politically, than those who are brow-beaten and spit upon by the degenerate creatures of their own handi- work —their own misguided off Spring. Bat we can’t do the subject justice, and oar only consolation is that the vile, tyran- nical creatures thut perpetrate these mons strous crimes against constitutional liberty aud the rights of the people are properly appreciated by a majority, we hope, of the masses of the country. Weare grati- fied to hear the following sentiments from the New York Press.

The Tribune says: “Nothing in the history of even the great conspiracy by which the border ‘raffians undertook to seize the Territory and State of” K.iusas, can furnish any parallel for this crowning iniquity of Federal Administration. “The citizeus of Louisiana have eeen themaelver cheated and defrauded, and when the frand came near being a failure, they have seen the whole power of the General Government used tu consupmate it and make villainy succesetul. ‘They make .o outory, bat apon facts aa they are they invoke the deliberate judgement of the American people.” ‘ The World says; “We hope there ia no American man who can read the newer from New Orleans without “a thrill of shame and rage.” <> Frankly Confesses His Guilt. A Grand Rapids (Mich.) clergyman, who fell as Beeeher and Glendenning are accused of falling, bas published the fol- lowing ecard; “'l’o the public] fiaukly confess tu the fearful sin of which I am charged, and will not be cowardly enough to lic or seek a palliation of my weakness and guilt.

From carefully conducted experiments, by different persons, it has been ascertain- ed that one bushel of corn will make a little cyer ten and ong: half pounds of pork, gross. Taking the reault as @ basis, the following deductions are made, which all our farmers would do well to lay by for a convenient reference ; When corn sells for 15} cents per bushel, pork costs 1} cents per pound. F When corn costs 17 cents per bushel, pork costs 2 cents @ pound. When corn costa 25 cents pork costs 3 cents a poand. When corn costs 33 cents per busbel, byehel, per bushel, When corn costs 50 cents per pork costs § cents a ponnd. The following statement shows what the farmer realizes ou his corn when in the form of pork ; When pork eells for 3 cents per pound, it brings 25 cents per bushel in corn. When pork sells for 4 cents per pound it brings 32 cents per bushel 1m corn. When pork eells for 5 cents per pound it brings 45 cente per bushel of corn, a Te The Best Paper. Try It POSTAGE FREE.

The successive failures which so invairably followed each attempt in this cuuntry to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of the people of America to the claime of high art. So sgon a8 a proper appreciation of the want at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was & t artistic and commer- cial triumph—THE ALDINE. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporafy or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated aiter it is buund up at the close ofthe year. While other publication- may claim superior cheapness, a8 compared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE is anique and original conception—alone and un- approached —absolutely withopt competition in price or character, The or of a complek volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape 0: number of volumes for ten times tls cqsts anc then, there is the chromo, besides. The national feature of THE ALDINE wut be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmo: politan, While THE ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itse!f entirely to the reproduction of native art. It mission is to cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus, while placin, before the patrons of THE ALDINE, a8 a leading characteristic, the productions of the most noted American artists, attention will al- ways be given to specimens from foreign mas ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic iJlustration of American scenery. original with THE ALDINE, is‘an important feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of Jandscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the artixt too closely to a single style of subject. The literature of THE ALDINE is alight and graceful accompani- ment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work. PREMIUM FOR 1875. Every subscriber for 1875 will receivea beau tiful portrait, in oil colors, of the same noble dog whose picture in a former issue attracted so much attention. “Wran's Unselfish Friend” will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves such a dog, and the portrait is executed gu true to tie file, that it reems the veritable presence of the animal itself. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Brooklyn) barks at it! Al- though so natural, no one who sees this premium chromo will haye the slightest fear of being bitten. Besides the chromo, every ndvance subscribe) to THE ALDINE for 1875 is constituted # member, and entitled to all the privileges o! THH ALDINE ART UNION.

Mr. Eprror: As the farmers seem to be speaking out, through your ee, to the presert Legiglature in regard to their interest, I haye eoncluded to make a siate- ment of a few facts and figares in regard te the fence question, or rather the No Fence Question. And in order that there be a proper understanding of the impor- | tanee of thie question, I will notice firat, the expense of keeping in repair the fences. I happened to know the expense on two farms the past year, 1874, ot the fenc- ing. These two farms paid for the year 1873, about one hundred dollara State and County taxes. ‘There were twelve thou- sand rails split at fifty cents a hundred, making sixty dollars. ‘Ihe enst of haul ing and putting the rails on the fence was forty-five dollars, or five dollars more than lthan the State and Conwy taxes, And ; bevides this, there was a new feoce wade on one of the fara, the coatof which was l about twenly five dollars, making, with isthe new fenee. the sum oof ene hundred laud thirty dollars, Now [think that we might pur the coat of fenemg down aa equal to the “tare and Couaty taxes, and not ge beyond the mark. “The have ionly to tarn te the Auditors s atement aad we shall fiad to our astonishinment that ithe coat ot feneing in chia, Anson Connty lalone ia the enormous amoursof $22 440,- 00 annually. And by taking the trouule of deducting the taxes derived from other sources than the lauded property and property connected with the farms, we we fencing iv the Stare And now, Mr Editor, in view of there facts and figures, what we want is a law ‘that will eave os from thie burdensome itax. [do not propose to say what thie ‘law aball be, L take it that our Legislators | are capable of forming a law without the “soft soap” proviso Aud these are uot only my own individual opinions, bat they are also those of nome of the oldes plantersin che county whe have large veoeks and an abuodance of timber forthe purpore of feueing ia their plantations and whore opinions are eutitled to con- | sideration.

Here is a $20 bill, which you may change. If you had chosen to wait until I finished my dinner, I bave plenty of small change with which I wonld have paid you, but now you can take it ont of that.” The result was that the waiter had to go oat for the change, and the namerous specta- ‘tora of the scene had their laugh over the new illustration of the old truth, ‘Don't | fornia, the following may be mentioned: trust fu appearances.” Timely farm and Pi Two Dried Plants and their Teachings. A friend who haa devoted much atten- tion to vegetable physi i i its relation to agricultare ns two interesting 8 plants. One was the the botanists class among y' or grasses, and the other weteh, a lega- minous plaut, allied to the garden pea, the bean, the lupines and the; clovers. The plants had been grown ip. flower from which the ball of @arth had n taken and carefully washed away from the roots, leaving them anproken and en- tire. ‘The oat plant, or # plants, presented a mass | would be likely to astoni ving farmer, and open big-eyes to the ne- opon. The bulk and weight of the r were, we think, two to one at least as com pared with the parts growing above ground. In the veteb,on the contrary, the proportion was reversed—the 1v0ts making not more than one-third of the entire balk. Now tbe vetch, like the clover, is found to be exceedingly rich in nitrogen, and therefore very valaable as a green soiling crop. When ploughed under, it enriches the soil by supplying the required nitrogenous _ plantfood. Where aud how this and similar plants get the vast amonnt of nitrogen, which they store up to eorich the soil, is perhaps ap open question. It was formely be- lieved that plants like vetch, garden peas, buck heat, ete., whose roots are compara- tively emall and limited extension, absorb ammonia directly from the atmosphere through their leaves. Late experiments seem to show conclusively, that this is not the case. They get it through the roots exclusively, but it still appears cer- tai, that it must be the atmosphere which aupplies it. It is (in its elements) in the air, the rains aud the dew which permeate the soil, and iu that laboratory of nature, decomposed and made available in the form of ammonia ‘These facts, thus brefly and imperfeedy stated, teach sevs eral leseous of immense practical value to the farmer. 1. ‘That different classes of plauis have diff-rent modes of feeding, as shown by their roots. 2. That certain leguminoue plants, and probatly all of them, iu a greater or less degree, are pur- veyors of nitrogenous plant food, and should therefore be made use of aa green soiling crops to enrich the land for the graing and the fibre bearing planta, the lime and other ash clements being cheap ly obtainable to complement them. 3 Vhat ia view of the fact that the fertiliz- i:g elements which arc elaborated in the soil come go largely from the atmosphere, itis of the utmoet importance that the land be well broken up and the soil kept loose and porous by judicious and frequent cultivation, eo that vir aud muisture can frecly penetrate it. Improvement of Clayey Soils. Oue ot the principal defects of claycy soils, expecially where they rest upon a subsoil of the aame nature, is the excess of water which is held in the. The only effectual way, in a majority of cases, to vet rid of this is by thorough underdrain- jing. This draws off by impcereeptible degrees all the excess of water, and opens the soil to the free admission of the air, which in iis paseage through it intparts warmth and guch fertilizing gasee aa it may contain. Open draine or ditches, thoughtless effectual, are useful. In some cases, water furrows, terminating in some ravine or ditch, serve a good purpose Lime is exceedingiy useful as an ameliora- tor of clayey soils, inducing chemical combinations, the mechanical effect of which is to break up the too great tenacity of the clay, while it adda, at the same time, an element of fertility which may erhaps be wanting. Gypsum, or plaster of Paris has the sam” effect ina still wore powerful degree. Ashes, coarse vegeta- ble manures, straw, leaves, chips, ete , are also very useful, adding new materials to the soil, aud tending to separate its par- ticles and deatrey their strong cohesion. Clayey land must never be ploughed when wel. Clover as Accumulator ef Nitrogen. Apropos of what hae been said in an- other paragraph in regard to the legumi- nous plants as nitrogenous fertilizers, we tind it stated that Dr Voelcker, by a ser- ies of the most exhaustive analyses of the soils and of plants, has discovered and eetablished the fact, that an immense amount of nitrogenous food accamulates in the soil during the growth of clover, especially in the surface sil ; amounting, including that in the clover roots and tops, to three and a half tons of nitrogen per acre ; equal to four tons and a third of ammonia. If this be a fact, the wondes ful effects of clover. vetch, aud similar plants on the soil cease to be myeterious, aud the farmer need no longer buy ammonia in his commercial fertilizers, bat only add to the soil the lime and other aah elements required, which can be cheaply furnished in available forms. Cheated—The Bromus Secalinus Swindle Some time ago a specimen of wheat, in which there were a few grains of chess, or eheat, was presented to Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. [t seemed at firet as if the scientists were to be con- founded and Nature made to contradict herself. The epecimen laid before the learned men of the Academy was a bead of wheat, to which small branches of chess were united, and apparently in a very na- tural manner. This speeimen was finally seferred to the “microscopical section,” who report that the thing was a trick. The chess was neatly inserted into the wheat stalk, and held there by a substance “which the committee believe to be gum tragacanth.— Rural Carolinian for Jans tt aryé {From the Daily News] Water Power of North Carolina, : Bread ee are frequently made n regard to the manvufacuring capacit of the State. Those who care an jainsent in the matter will be glad to have some definite faets and figures. The following statements, the result of a great many measmements end ealculations, give a reasonable approximation to the truth of the matter : First, Theoretical Estittate.—The cum of all the river fengths in the State is about 3,000 miles; the sum of their falls is 30,000 feet, or an average of 10 feet to the mile. Allowing 100 horse powers to the foot of falls as an average for an av= erage river, as for Haw River, for instance) the aggregate result for the rivers alone, (taking no aecount of hundreds of crecks, 4 cesaity of giving bie: oedll boeadth aod ont many ete oe is oe depth. of.goil, elles 6 ta feed. horse power. n © eent., for ee atk ing ants ee ook! the abekgie is 3,450-<f teathfal : at heart, of being ever 000. Socond, Theoretical Estimate—~.The average elevation of the State above sea level is 635 feet. It bas been estimated at 550 feet; but a careful compatation will give the former figure as much nears er the truth. The average annnal rain fall in this State is 45 inches. If we sup pose 70 per cent. of this amowat to es- cape by evaporation, which isa reasona~ ble estimat, certainly not too small, there remains 13} inches to be carried off by drainage. This gives 46,000,000,000 tous, which will develop 5,300 horse pow- ers per foot of fall, making « total of 3,- 369,675 horse powers, which is just equal to the entire power of all the steam engines of England, both stationary and locomo- tive. ‘he correspondence of these inde- pendent estimates is very notable, and is confirmatory of the eatimate above given for the average elevation of the State. We have here, therefore, an amount of force which would-require for its artificial development an annual consumption of nearly 4,000.000 tone of coal. It would of course be au endless task to gauge all the streams of the State and so get the aggregate of their actual force, but the weasuremente of a few «f the larger rivers are given as having per. aps an interest of their own. The Roanoke, measured at Haskiu’s Ferry, at lowest stage of water, gives ap- proximatively 335 horee powers per foot of fall.) Taking this as an average for the whole distauee trom Danville to Wel- don, between which places the fall is 355 feet, the total horse powers is in round numbers about 120,000. Tbe Yadkin River, measured near the Railroad Bridge at Brown's Ferry, gives 315 horse powers per foot, or 165,000 for 525 teet of fall to the State line, taking no account of the numerous large afffluents which enter it between those joints, carrying the estimate trom the State line up te the moath of the Elkin River, in Yadkia county at the Foards Factory, (formerly Gwynnu's,) we get 268,000 horse powers, ‘The power ot Haw Kiver and Deep River was tukeu only a few days ago, aud while they were still somewhat swollen by recent rains, so thatthe figares for those streams, 200 and 125 respectively, are subject to a considerable reduction, especially the former. Haw River, at the figures given, aggregates a force of about 100,000 horse powers, in a fall of 513 feet from the Piedmont Railroad bridge to ite conflueuce with Deep River at Hay- wood. Adding the above figures tor the Cape Fear, we have 325 horse powers, or abeat the same amount of force as that of the Yadkin; and the full of about 100 feet to Fayetteville gives 32,500 horee powers. Deep River, in. its descent of 596 feet from the Ncrih Carolina Railroad bridge near Jamestown, develops a force of about 60,000 horse powers. ‘The sum ot the powera of the Cape Fear and its ewo principal tributarice will somewhat exceed 175,000 horse powers. ‘This is eufficient to turn 7,000,000 spiudles.— lhere are in fact on this syatem of waters more cotton factorics than anywhere else in the State, their number being about ten; and their aggregate of apindles ie probably not more than 10,000, and of horse powers less than 400 ; eo that even gea, not more than one seven-hundredt part of the available force is atilized.— And to make the case still stronger, the Cape Fear and the lower part of Deep River have been improved at the expense of the State, in the slack water navigas tion works constracted before the war; of which most of the dams are stiil standing, at least in part, (and about half of them have been recently repaired by private et rpriee ;) the foree rendered available at these dams amouating to about 40,000 horse powers, or evough to turn 1,600,- 000 spindles, which is more than half tbe number tound in atl the tactorics of Mas- sachasette. These facts are sufficient, althoagh, (let it be repeated,) the figures are only ap- proximats, to give defiuiteness, to our ideas, both of our immense manufacturing power and the fact that we have not evea begun to improre it.

In dignity, high tone. and.“ true they have no superiors. ‘They rive far above the vulgar passions of the clows and can not be ruffled or excited by the Billinegate of the narrow-minded pectiduatists who feed on bate and parti pan bias. It is a good thing for the Bouth; yea! for the whole coguiry, that we have such noble men in the Senate of the United States. ——, THE MECKLENBURG CEN- TENNIAL. The people of Mecklenburg, with a Just pride, are moving in the matter of a celebratien in honor of the 20th May. Declaration of Independence. Well, if the people of North Carolina cele- brate either the Federal or the Mecklen~ bary Declaration, it should be that be- lieved to haye been uttered on the 20th of May, 1875, in the county of Mecklen- burg. We are inclined to think, however, that there is not much left of the govern- ment our fathers estublighed worth cele~ bratigg. Is begins to look like they made a mistake in cutting loose from the eld country. If the Radical party, with gueh creatures as Grant and Sheridan, is to tontinne sway, we ure quite satisfied that it were better that this government had net been born. Still there can be ao objection to the people of Mecklenburg and of the State, meeting together in Charlotte and celebrating to their hearts’ eontent the brave deeds of their fathers, But we are opposed to the Jegislature making any appropriation for the purpose for the same reason that we are apposed to the U. S. Congress makiug an approx i to the Centennial celebration pro- posed to be held at Philadelphia. We have heretofore given our reasons for op- posing aa appropriation for euch purposes and it ip mos necessary to repeat them here: We feel satisfied that the people would not endorse any sgch action vn the part of the Legislature even if they were more able to incur such expunse. We can all go to Charlotte on the 20th May; and have a general good time, without imposing a tax of several thous. and dollars on the people mercly to make a big show which can ‘be enjoyed -by 8 few only of the more privileged. LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE. Under the present Canby Conatitution, North Carolina ix suffering a thousand illa.. There is scarcely any material proeperity to be found throughout her en~ tire borders. Her: mineral treasures, uo- “surpassed by those of any country, lie baried beneath her beautiful hills for the want of a power to resurrect them ; her magnificent water power ou a thousand gashing streams is monotgnous for the want of the accompanying masic of ma~ chine shops and factories, wheels: and spindles ; her agricultural, mechanical, and other interests are languishing ; and now, ten years after a devasting war, she ie but little better off than when she emerged from the fuar year’s conflict in 1865. It is impossible to enumerate the hundredeth part cf the inconveniences, wrongs aud burdens the people are suf- fering for the want cof material changes in her organic law. Yet it is said that we should let well enough alone. The State debt, that gigantic fraud,— whieb three saccessive Legislatures have failed to compromise or settle,—hangs like a mighty incubus upon the necke of the people, paral; zing industry, keeping away immigration, crushing out the en-: terprise and public spirit of the citizens, lecking up our rich mipes and preventing general development and prosperity ; while the public bonde, issued ou the eredit of the State, are hawked aboat in the great money centres of the world for @ mere song, a continual reminder and siledt teacher of the uniuviliug state of affairs within our limits. Large suits for huudrede of thousands of dollars are pending in the Courts against the State, and it seems uow more: than probable that jadgement will be obtained and the people will have to pay, Our Railroeds, once the pride of North Caro lina, are,in the bands of the rings, and the Legislature‘is impoteut to give relief. Yet'we are told that we should Ict well enough alone. Our free school system is a sham ; our Township system is a burden and a carse, our Civil Procedure or legal eode is the most complex, ill suited and oppressive that gag be devised; Yet all this is well enough, and we should let well enough alone. Our Legislature holds forth at an axpeese to the people of aboat one thoas- and dollars per day, and. the most impor. tanh, legislative act. it can performs is to pase « few. private bills of merely local jutertet. 1¢ has no power under the pres seut Cunstitution to inaugurate such lég- falation as the ‘pecessities of the. people demand. We. would save seventy-five, oe eighty thousand dollars annually aid t h So tong as jadges are elected by the people wo are liable, uuder the present system, of having foiat upon us negro jodges, why will of course be privileged to exchange cireuite, upset established usu- ; ) pare tion beside themrelves,,,.and produce general disorder, There are districts in this State that ean clect negro judges. #0 do not smile at this oasaal reference, but remember to let well encugh alone. We have really no legal municipal goveruments as contradistinguisbed from the couuty governments. In faet our whole fudicial eystem is the most befog- ged, inexplicable and anréliable ever known in North Carolina, Yet it is the creature of Yankee ingenyity+the offspring of the Canby ecoustitution, why disturb it 1—let well enough alone. As matters now stand there js no protec- tion to property. ‘The vote of the indolent, the vicious, and the non-taxpaying is just as effective, in determining the amount of tax to be levied, as the vote of the indus- trious, the good, and the tax-payjog. So, why not let well enaugh alone} Now, we are uot of those who think that every thing can be dove by legivla- tion, We are aware that there is env tirely too much expected of legislative bodies; that there ‘are very many dis- posed to blame the [Legislature for not giving them relief; that our recuperation must be gradual aud our prosperity come wlowly ; that our main reliance for these things is apon the application and indus- try of the peeple, and not so much upon legislation. But we ‘are neverthless thoroughly convinced that if the eanstita- tion was so changed as to enable the Legistature to do its work more acceptar bly, that good reaulis would immediately follow. A restoration of the old N.C. Constitution, properly amended, would tend to revive every branch of industry, give yew vigor aud energy to business and enljven the spirits of our people, But the present canstitatjon was given us by force and fraud, ia thoroughly Yaukee, aud we have lived under it five or six years without being crushed into the earth though we have been effectually robbed and op~ pressed —why not fet well enough alone 7 i gee And now, Gov. Brogden gnd Col. Dockety and Judge Settle and Major Smith, and all the rest of the Conscript Fathers, “what are you going to do about it,” to gse an orthodox ewociatic plrase? If.you gre Statesmen, you will seein this Convention movement the beginning of the eud of our party, and the expressed determination of the White Jjeague to make your own and your childrens’ names infamous through all ages. ; We sound the alarm note, and demand that you beon yoor feet and doing. To the front, men! ‘To the front!—Ashe- ville Pioneer. This is the way the Asheujlle Pioneer, a Radical paper, closses an article on the Convention question. ‘That paper pre- dicts that if a Couventiou be calted it will ‘be the ruiu of the Badical party. Well, we have not favored a Conveution: so much fur the purpose of destruying the Radical party as to secure for North Car- olina a good Constitution, but if the call- ing of a Convention will destroy the Rad ical party, we know of no reason why we should object to it on this score’ We eertaiuly would do nothing to keep the Radical party in existence. 9 Will Nothing Make Them Pause! The New York Times, for ability, char- acter, aud influence, is the principal news- paper which represents and advocates the ‘principles and policy of the Republican party in this country, aud here is what it says of the present condition of things in Loassjana: “Such a despatch as that which Gen. Sheriday sent to the Secretary of War on ‘Tuesday is not warranted by any facts kuown to the publics—could scarcely be warranted under auy conceivable circam- stancea, We have never pablished such a dogumeut before, and we must say that nothing like it bas ever been sven in a eduntry under a constitutional govern- went, Lt almost induces one to believe that tue world has. gone beck two or tliree huadred years in the theory and practice of goverument, Cromwell did, indeed, serve Irelaud pretty much as Gen.

Sheridan's deas of the Constitution ander whieh he lives, or of the functions of Congress, or of the powers of the Executive, to say nothing of the powers which may right- fully be exercised by a lieutenant-general in the army, He first of all esta that Congress should pass a bill declar- ing a certain class of the people of Louis- iana, Arkansas, and Mississippi ‘banditti.’ How many be would inclade in this class does vot appear, nor does he explain siuce Whay date in our history it has usual for officers in the army to presume to dic- tate to Congress as to the legislation it sbould adopt. Bat a moment afterward a atill better idea strikes him, and he says. ‘It is possible that, if the Presideut would issue a proclamation declaring them banditti, no farther aptinn need be} taken except thut which would devolve upon | me.’ If thie means auything, it means thet; Gea. -Sheridan. would : forthwith receed to hang.or shoot as many persons he chose to bring uuger his own de- eaigies of ‘banditti,” We have. thes ap eee that the President shall * an indefinite number of ‘Gitizens ‘banditti,’ and that Gen.

WasHINGToN, Jan. 8.—Noon--The New York Express train, hence, collided with a freight traiu at nine o'clock, P. M. yesterday. The switch tende is blamed, Phe mail and express ears, with the mail agent, Fayman, were burued. No paseen- were seriously hart. ‘The entire northern mail from Warhington, including the accumulated days’ mails from the; south, excepting one pouch and canvass for Baltimore, were destroyed by the burning of the postal car. It is believed that the agent, Mr. Fayman, was crushed to death before th: ear took fire. He was a young man about 30 years of age and a son of the local postoffice agent in this city. -———__~~=o-_—_-—- Who wili bes Declared Banditti i Nextt! We wish to fix in the minds of the people the exact text of the correspond- ence in full, on both sides, between the Army and the Secretary of War. “he following is Gen. SHERIDAN’S letter: ‘‘ HEADQUARTERS Mipipary Division OF MissquRl, New Orveans, La., Jan. 5 1875. “Hou W. W. BELKNAP, Secretary of war, Washington, D.C. “[ think the terrorjsm now -existing in Louisiana, Mississippi. and Arkansas cuuld be entiyely removed, and coufidence and fair dealing established, by the arrest and trial of the ringleaders of the arined white leagues. If Congress will pass a bill declaring them banditti, they cuuld be tried by 4 military commission. These banditui, who mardered nen here on the 14th of last September, alsu more recently at Visksburg, Miss., should, in justice to law and order gud the peace and prosperity of this southern part of the country, be punished. It is possible that if the President would jssue a proelaina- tion deslariug them bandjtti, no further ac. tion need be taken exeept that whjeh would dévolve upon ine. “P. H. SHERIDAN, “Lieutenant-General United States Army.” And the Secretary of War replied : “War Department, WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 Gen. P. H. Sheridan, New Orleans. “The Presideut and all ot us have full confidence in and thoroughly apprave your course. . Woe. W. BeLknap, Secretary of War.” The first thingto be remarked upon Gen. SHERIDAN’s letter is that the Licu- tenapt-General of the army assumes the fanetion of the President of the Ouited States to recommend officially to Congress what laws they shall pass. _ But SHrRiDAN is a military man, aud ow the whole be rather thinks the thing required can be accouplished without leg- islation if the President will only issuc a proclamation. The thing to be dune is the destraction of the political opponents of Gen. GRANT in Louisiana, aud the exact proposition of Gen. SHERIDAN is that President GRanT shall issue a proclama- tion declaring them banditti. If Congress would pass a bill declaring them banditti that would answer the same purpose, be- cauee then they could be tried—tried indeed |—by a military commission, and after the formality of the trial they coald be led out to be shot or hanged! ‘The proclamation, however, would accomplish the same thing because, whom the Presi- dent declares banditti, shall they not be assassinated without so much as the mock- ery of a pretended trial ? Menof America! What is this new tongue in which your rights and liberties are summarily disposed of ? What have you ever read in American constitutions and American law books about banditti ? And yet on the. strength of that word banditti, unknown in American law, and on the streagth of that one word in a pro~ clamation, the Lieatenant-General of your army, by the aid of the soldiers in your pay, proposes deliberately, in cold blood, to shoet-down, to hang, to marder hun-~ dreds and thousands of yeer fellow citi- zens in Louisiana because they belong to a political onganization opposed to the Adninistration at Washington | In place of the staid, substantial, safe Government under which we lave so long lived, the semi-barbarons condition of the Central and South American States is to be sabstitated, and our fuir country is to be deluged with the blood of its sons for the purpose of maintaining ia anthority ‘tbe men now in office at Washington. And the answer to this atrocious de- epatch froma blood-tbirsty commander, the answer retarned by aythority of Pres- ident Grant and sigaed by his Sccretary of War, is this: “The President and all of us have full confidence in, and thoroughly approve, your course.” If this correspondence does not stir the blood of the American people, they bave no blood in their veins. The citizens of Louisiana are to be+pronouneed banditti, and shot dowu ia their tracks to-day ; bat who will-be pronatinced banditti and shot wo tomosrew? How avon will come our tara at the North ?

He achieved the first Demo- cratic victory since 1860. He troke the baekbouve of the Republican party, and reudered all subsequent victories an easy matter.

Jn the face of such evidence as this, to which the wid- est publicity has repeatedly been given, it would be absurd to question the nedicinal yir- tues of the Bitters. Skepticism upon this point was lung ago disarmed, and they are to-day as much respected and far more widely known than many of the official remedies which figure conspicuously in the pharmacopaia. They are universally recognized to be the supreme remedy for intermittent and remittent fevers, dyspepsia, liver complaint, general de- bility. disorders of the bowls and nervousness, as well as a means fortifying the system against malarious influences and those which operate | injuriously upon the sensitive organs.

Wonterfal: carried ut” ‘A M « fic o O nce tle ‘The necessity of a pupuiar medium for the representation of the productions of our great artialta, has always been recugized, and many atlemps have been made to meet the want. The anecessive failures which soinvairaoly followed each attempt in thir country to estadlish an art journal, did not prove the indifference ol the people of America tu the clams of high ars. So sugn a8 4 proper gppreciauion of the wan and anability lo meet it were shown, the pubsic al once rallicd vith epthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artistic and comme) cial riumph--THE ALDINE. THE ALDINE, while issued with all th regularity, has none ul the temporary or timely interest cheracteristic of ordinary periodicals Lt is an elegant miscellany of pure, ight, ane graceful literature; and a collection oF pictures. the rarest specimens ob artistic skili, iu tlecr and white. Although each succeeding nunmibe affurds a fresh pleasure to its friends, the rea. value and beauty of THE ALDINE will bs most appreciated aster it is bound up at the close of the vear. While other publication: may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE is 0 unique and original concepon—alone and un- approached —absolutely without competition in price or character, The possessor of a couplets volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape on number of volumes for len limes its cost; anc then, there is the chromo, bexides. The national feature or THE ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense. ‘Trine art i- cosmo politan, While THE ALDINE is a RUICUIY American institution, it does not confine its f entirely to the reproduction ol native art Iu mission is to culvate a broad and app eciativ. art taste, one that will discriminate only o grounds of iutrinsic merit, “Thus, whi. placin before the patrons of THE ALUINL, as leading characteristic, the productions ol the most noted American artists, attention will ai ways be given to specimens trom foreign mu: lers, giving subscribers all the pleasure ane instruction obfainable from home or foreigs sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery original with THE ALDINE, is an importa feature, and its magnificent plates are ol a ride more appropriate to the aiatisfactory treatmen of detail than can be afforded by any inferion page. The jnudicions interspersion of landscape marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain al, unabated interest, impossible where the kcop of the work confines the artist too closely to a single atyle of subject.

From the Sunder (Washington City) Herald. ‘ The celebration at Lincoln Hall, on Fri- day evening. cf Andrew Jackson’s victory over the British at New Orleans, January 8, 1815, was the largest and most harmonious meeting we have ever seen in the District of Columbia, The hall, at an early hour. was filled to repletion with one of the most re- spectable atidlences ever seen ata public meeting anywhere. and, by the immense enthusiasm manifested, give evidence that the people were thoroughly aroused every- where oyet the Administration outrage to Louisiana. Speeches were made by a number of dis- tinguished gentlemen, among them Hon. Wm. M. Robbins, of N. C. who said: The call made upon me is a surprise. I came here not to speak, bat to listen, and to approve by my presence that Iunderstandto be the purpose of this meeting ; namely, to revive AE memory of events which shed lus- tre upon the whvle American people; to strengthen our lore of liberty and andepe- dence by thipking of what they cost. It is well for us to look beyond the sad scenes of the late sectional conflict, and recall the comion trials, common dangers, and com- mon triumphs of earlier times that the spirit of the brotherhood may be reawakened in our souls. I am a Southern man—a North Carolin- ian. This is the first time I ever stood be- fore a popular assemblage north of the Po- tomac. It is a fitting time to give utterance to the real sentiments entertained by me and those who sent me to this Capital as their representive. Iam here to promore peace, reunion, and revived feeliogs of fraternity amoug the American people of all sections. I ain not hear tu tear open old wounds. but to aidin healing them. Asa citizen of the defeated and humiliated section. it might be thought natural for me to — cherish bitterness and study revenge. And 80, per- haps, I might do if no one’s fortunes but my own wereat stake. But I cannot forget that in our homes there are innocent little prattlers who are to live after us. In our poverty we can leave them little else, but I want to leave them a happy, peaceful. free, well-governed country to live in. These, wy countryinen, are the pledges of my pa- trivtism and the hostages which bind ine to ny allegiauce. Most heartily, therefore, do Ljoin with you in celebrating this day asa day ever memorable in the annals of our common country. It is pleasant and profitable to recur to an event at the recollection of pride aud satisfaction. The bistory of that event is so well koown to you that I shall not dwell upon its details. Will you pardon me for speaking from the heart in true simplicity aud saying that while sitting here to night thinkiug of the event we celebrate—and others tov. which have occurred siuce—one promineut thought has been uppermost, and it is. this, that ‘pride goeth before destruction, aud a haugh- ty spirit before a fall.’ The most striking thing to me about the battle of New Orleans is the arrogant spirit with which the British army marched into it with the impious cry of booty aud beauty” upon their lips, aad the utter discomfiture which followed, with scarcely a scratch to the army of Old Hick- ory.”? It reminds one of the destruction of Sennacherib, when “The Angel of Death spread his wings ou the blast, Aud breathed in the face of the foe as he passed,” It is impossible to avoid the thought that there are those who are at this momeut seeking to subjugate that same city of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana, and do- ing so much of that same proud, reckless, and defiantly impivus spirit shown by Pack- enhain and hisarmy. The discomtiture will follow ; not bloody like theirs ,but a political overthrow awaits the men who are acting thus recklessly which will prove, what asa Democrat I devoutly believe, that the peo- ple of America still love liberty in their heart of hearts without respect to section or par- ty. It is not my purpose to indulge in any bit- ter language iu speaking of these proceed- ings. If I did I should be misunderstood. Tam ason of ove of those sister States which have been standing for ten years with hauds crossed and bound with fetters waiting for the word of deliverauce to be spoken by ihe omnipotent and triumphant North. Our protests against usurpation are apt to be taken as the mere growlings of justly re- strained offenders. So we have been con- ning the lessou of patient, silent endurance, waiting forthe march of events to reveal the true situation. That time seems now at hand. Nothing since the war has go strength- ened my hopes for vur country’s future as the uprising now geen over all the Nocth in | Louisiana’s redemption. condemnation of the recent acts of high- handed usurpation io New Orleans. It proves | that the heart of the people is yet sound at | the core. Much as I regret and condeinn those acts | of the Presideut and the Lieutenant General | I have a special reason for avoiding all op- probrious terins in speaking of those distin- guished ineu. I fought against them both | vn many a bloody day, and 1 recvgnize | their ability as captaius and their brayery as soilders. Let us take broad, manly views, and do justice to every man. Geueral Sheri- dan is a gallant soldier, I know not how! others feel, but for myself I feel an interest | in the honest fame of every brave suldier | who fought on either side in the Jate contest. Ileve my comrades like brothers, and I respeet all our gallant adversaries as ‘*fue- inen worthy of our steel.” I would guard the fame ofall, And if this is ever tuo bea happy country again the time must come! when Sherman, Thomas, (trant, and Sheri- dan. and Lee, Jackson, and Jvulngon, and the horic men they led, shall all be cherish- ed by Ainerica as her beloved sons. and their matchless deeds of daring and devotion be treasured as & common heritage. I sincere- ly regret that Grant and Sheridan should have tarnished by their sad blunders the laurels they won in other days, just as I mourn over my old commander, Longstreet. as an archangel fallen. As a Democrat I b: lieve good government can only be restored by the triamph of the principles whieh Old Hickory” up- held, and for which our party strug- gles. Aud I think our triumph is not far’ off. Our vpponents, by their fatuity, illus- ; breeches.” is proud and di:daintal of popular rights trate the maxim that ‘whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” All unwit- tingly Grant and Sheridan are feeling for} the heart of the Republican party with a dagger. Let them feel ! I hope I shall not be guilty of -noralizing too much if I reeur again to the idea T[ broached awhile ago about the danger ot ‘men becoming puffed up with arrogance—ia common parlance, ‘getting tvo big for their The Republican Administration now. They forget that we are al) Americans or freemen much more than we are Domo crats or Republicans. We Southern men have iearned some things by bitter experience. We were once roud and lifted up, felt able to whip five asrees apiece. and defied misfortune. We felt and spoke loftily. Mark what bas be- fallen us. A mysterious Providence has brought us low indeed. Our adversaries triumph, and ‘servants now bear rule over us.’ Let me say, with due solemnity. to them who mock our sorruws and gloat over our downfall, that the hand which humbled us cau reach them. I can readily conceive how this reckless trampling down of law and right under the iton heel of the military may pave the way to a fearful crisis and appalling convulsions in the near future, destructiye to the peace and prosperity of the entire country, If a State Legislature ean be dispersed by sol- diers, how long will it be before some stout President wil! drive out Congress ? When in our youth. we:..wondered at Cromwell’s hardibaed “Ya breaking up Parliament, we scarcely expect to witness in our own age and country a scene so inuch like it. When it becomes fashionable to put down State Legislatures because they differ with the Executive in political opinion, think you that Executive would be likely to submnit patiently to impeachment. for instance, by a Congress of opposite political faith, or any Congress whatever, when he was in command of ainailitary so servient to lawless orders as De Trobirand the other day, who only re- plied to the protests of expiring liberty by saying, ‘*] am a soldier, and have nothing to do but obey orders.” Moreover there is another imminent dan- ger, Our Presidential eleetions come very offen. If States are kept in pupilage and guardianship under Federal coutrel. how long will it be before such an election will turn upon counting out er countiug in the votes uf sume single State whose statehood is questioned by one party or another? Or a State will have two governments, as sever- al have now, two sets of electiors, the re- cognition of one of which sets will decide a Presidential election. When such a junc- ture arises, and who can say it may not arise in a few years, what assurance have we that it can be passed over peaceably ? Is there not too much reason to fear that there would be an outbusrt of convulsion trom the Lakes to the Gulf, ueighbor clutch- ing at the throat of neighbor over the whole laud ; not a sectioual war as we lately had, but a true civil war, desolating every town- ship, county, aud State? May God avert such acalamity. Having fought through the whole late war, Iam able to realize the fearful evils of war. and I trnst we may see no more of it iu our country. But what I haye said shows how easily it might come, aud that, after all, as long as we depart, in the slightest deg... from the plain prin- ciples of the Cuustitutiou we walk upon a volcano. It is time fur us to take reckouing in suberuess as to the dongers that enviren us, and avert them by recurring tu the fnoda- inental doctrines priuciples of popular liberty which lieat the base of our institutions. It is time for us, also, to banish the spirit ot sectional strife and ill feeling, and, reeog- nizing each other’s virtues as well as fruits, (fur we all have both ) learn to forget and forgive, and be brothers again. We of the South are not perfect. Neither are we sv bad as our euemies paint us. But l am not going now to enter upon any defence of our people. Permit me to say, however, in behalf of the dowutrodden peo- ple of Louisiana, that they are not assas- sins; and the best proof of itis this: Kel logg lives, Longstreét lives, Packard lives, and many others whose critnes have affronted high Heaven and whose oppressions might make even wise men mad.” In eonclusion, let me’ pay a tribute to the horic patience and forbearance uf the peo- ple of New Orleans. They show that greutuess which is superior to all others— the power to rule their own spirits. Such furtitude under sore trial would do honor to any race of inen ; itis glorious; it must be God-giyen.

Large ears, as has been observed, says the Phrenological Journal, hear things in general, and denotes broad, comp:eben- sive views and modes of thought; while small ears hear things in particular, show- ing a disposition to individualize, often accompanied by love of the minute. Large ears are usually satisfied with learning the facts of a case, with the gen~ eral principles involved —tvo strict an ats tention to the euumcration of the details, especially all repetition of the most unim- portant, is wearisome to them. People with such ears like generally, and are usually well fitted to conduct, large en~ terprises, to receive and and pay out money in large sums; in buying or sell- ing, would prefer to leave a margin rather than reduce the quantity of goods of any ' gort to the exact dimensio::s of the meas- ure specified, and in giving would prefer to give with a free hand and without too strict a calculation as to the exact amount. Small ears, on the contrary, desire to ‘know the particulars of a story, as well as the main fects; take delight often in examining, handling, or constructing tiny | specimens of workmanship; are disposed to be exact with respect to inehes and ounces in buying or selliug, to the extent at least of knowing the exact number over or under the stated measure given or received, People with such ears would, in most cases, prefer a retail to a wholes sale business. A Syracuse girl declined to engage herself to the object of ber affections un- ‘ul hia father had given her a written guarantee that his son was not only sound “in wind and limb,” bat of goed morals, geatle, and warranted to bebave both in “single and double harness.’’ That girl did not intend to be seen in a dtvorce court. ee From the Cim inmath c upon cosmos and evol 2.

We presnme but few persons are aware of the following law, to which the Golds~ bore Messenger calls attention : Chapter 71 of the laws of 1871-'72 provides that ‘the Justices of the Peace io the several counties of the State may assemble at the Court House on the first Monday in each and every year, anda majority of them being present, they may elect by ballot three discreet, intelligent tax-paying citizens, to be known as the ‘Finance Committee,’ whose duty it shall be to inquire into and investigate and re- port by public advertisement, at the Court House and some public place in each township of the county, or iu a newspa-~ per, if one is published in the county, a detailed and itemized account of the con- dition of the county finance, together with any information appertaing to any fands, o. any malfeasance in office by any court officers. ‘The law further provides that the Com- mittee shall have power to send for per- sons and papers, and make it a misde- meanor for any to refuse to obey their summons. ee As illustrating the danger of leaving small children alone, a Chicago paper tells the sad fate of a little four-year-old boy in that city who was left by his parents alone in the house.

Who is there among us who but three years ago would have expected to be called upon to approve the gross, most unjastifiable usurpation of Jadge Durrell and the President’s en- forcement of it as the lawful origin of a State Government? And who of you, when permitting that to be done, would bave expected to see the Uuited States soldiers march into a hall of a State Leg- islature fo decide its organization? Per- mit that to-day, and who of you can tell me what we shall be called upon—nay, forced to permit to-morrow. Senators ! we have arrived at a crisis. I will not conceal that I cannot contem- plate that this crisis without grave appre~ hension, for what has happened already makes me look forward with anxiety to what may still be in store for us. We are evidently on a downward slope, and the question is where we shall land. It is not the success of Napoleonic ambitions in this country tbat I fear, for if they ex- isted they would still find in America not a French people to deal with; but what I do have reason to fear, if we continue on in that course, is this: that our time- honored constitutional principles will be gradually obliterated by abuses of power establishing themselves as precedents ; that the machinery of administration may become more and more a mere instrument of ring rule, a tool to manufacture major- ities and to organize plunder, that in the hollow shell of :epublican forms the gov- ernment will become the mere football of rapacious aud despotic factions. —_~+>e——_-—_— Waar One Votre Dip.—A single vote in New York city, says the Express, made Jefferson President of the United States, and this oue vote moved the poli~ cy of the Government not only under Jefferson, but under his successor, James Madison.

It appears that a lad, 16 years old, was accidentally wounded by the discharge of a pistol in the hands of a companion a few feet distant. Upon receiving the shot, the boy fell with vio- lence, but did not lose conscionsness. The ball, about the size of a buckshot, entered the right frontal bone an inch a- bove the center of the eye-brow, and, pass- ing through the brain, lodged in the oc» cipital bone near the center of the occipital cross. A silver probe passed by its own weight to the center of the brain, without touching the ball. As a precautionary measure he was bled, and Epsom salts were administered. The wonnd healed rapidly, without any constitutional distur- bance, and in ten daya he returned to his home. He is still living in good health, and has never suffered the slightest incon- venience from the accident. +e Aw AmerIcAN Bark Lost at Sma. —Ou the night of December 23d two seamen were landed at Queenstown, who are the sole survivors of a crew of twenty, of the American bark Awity, which sail- ed from Philadelphia for Antwerp on the 19th of November. ‘hey give the fol- lowing account of the loss of the vessel and their mates: After having been three weeks at sea the vessel became water-logged. ‘The boats in which the men attempted to save their lives having capsized, those who escaped being drowned took to the rigging, but one after the other was washed off until ouly four re- mained.

Weare told that money should be free, that it is a commodity of trade and should not be So is whiskey, but those who vend it are some- to say selfish, trammeled. what subject to certain laws, think yout There are many other thiugs that might be mentioned, ag luxuries and commodi- ties of trade, and yet they are subjected to the restraints of law. Wecaunot see the propriety in putting money down as a commodity of irade, and if we were to admit that it is, we can see no justice in allowing the mouey lender less freedom from legal restrajat than the whiskey vender, Laws are made forthe purpose of punishing and preyenting evils. Who will eay that excessive Usury is not au evil? There are many things that work very well in theory, but when they are reduced to practice, they wou’t da. —_———+e-—__— THE USURY QUESTION. The Stateaville Landmark, in an article oo Usury Qustion, says : “Any legislation whatever on this ques- tion is class legislation. A stringent usury law operates either to the detriment or to the advantage of certain classes, and vice versa. Free, unshackled money — all restrictions removed—effects ail alike, and is the nearest approach to wise and salutary legislation.” Let us then admit that any legislation on Usury is class legislation, is it not al- ways wise to legislate so as to do the greatest good to the greatest numbers ? We were never a stickler for class legisla-~ tion, but suppose this class legislation, it is very different from local or private legislation, and is in this case fully justi- fiable. | We fully agree with oar contemporary in the assertion that “a stringent usury law will operate either to the detriment or to the adyantage of certaia classes, and vice sersa ;” and this is just the reason we desire to see a judicious Usury law passed and enforce. If there is no Usury law the money class will be favored, while all who are uot bankers and brokers will be oppressed. A usury law will protect the laboring class, the rea} estate ownere, aud others from oppressive usury. Is it not better to favor the latter class rather thau the former ? ‘The remainder of the aboye extract is altogether irreconcilable with ‘the portion just noticed, ‘he repeal of all Usury law is tantamonnt to a law in favor of the moneyed class; ‘tree, unshackled money-~all restrictions removed—effects all not alike, and ig mot the nearest ap- proach to wise salutary legislation. Tn times like the present to remove all restrictions on money would be gbout as wise as the orders of a general permitting unrestrained travel through his lines just on the eve of a battle. People em- barrassed as ours are more liable to go iuto extremes and are more easily imposed upen by those who may have it in their power to take advautage of them, than they would be under more favorable or prosperous circumstances. But we are not satisfied that free money is the beet for all classes, for the people generally, even in prosperons times. It boots nothing that usury laws have all been repealed in England. ‘Phe preference thus given to money there is perfectly consistent with the institution and form of government of that Island. They lave an aristocracy there, @ money aristo- PA od ae cry, a small class, a few men wh@ fire on ysory, on the interest which they are permitted to extort almost -witheit limit from the laboring millions. The money men of England are prosperous and ins dependent, but the great masses of the people are mere hewers of wood and drawers of water—mere slaves, to the mon- ey clase who are in fact the government. And so it will be here, shogld the time ever come when the money lords shall be permitted to exact whatever jnterest they may choase. ‘The Federal gavernment hae already set the example and estab- lished a precedent in favor of a moneyed aristocracy, aug it becomes the dyty of the States to rebuke the Federal governy ment and pnt an effectual check upon the proposed outrage by passing such laws as will keep interest at reasonable rates, The Statesville Landmark pablishes it says for the purpose of disapproval, the following extract from Hon. W. M. Rob- bin's late speech: ‘Ihe extract reads : “Much as I regret and condemn those acts of the President and the Lieutenant General, I have special reasons for avoid- ing all approbions terms of speaking of those distinguished mev. Let gus take broad, manly viewe, and do justice to every man. General Sheridan isa gal- lant soldier.” The gaudmark then proceeded to com- ment after this style; “The Major was prudent enough to avoid opprobiuw, and we truly regret that he was sv very unfortunate as to bestow unmeeded adulation upon that course, valgar tyrant and butcher, Sheridan. Certainly his bosom must have been over- charged with the milk of human kindness, and equally certain, lhe was not looking at the brute through the spectacles furnished by the people in the 6th Cangrcasional District.” We are surprised atthe above comment, coming from the intelligent source it does. Maj. Robbiu’s simply told the trath when he eaid Sheridan is a gallant soldier, and every veteran of Lee’s army will Sheridan can be a gallant soldier and a tyrant, and he has fairly won both appela- tions. When we consider the peculiar audience the Major was addressing, we are gratified at the manucr in which he disposed of Sheridan. His words were well chosen, acd they will be universally endorsed by thinking men everywhere. If he had indulged in bitter abuse of Grant and Sheridan at such a time and at such a piace he would not only have disgraced himself, but his speech would have done great harm. His assertions were dignified, truthful, and yet sufficient- ly severe. We endorse every word, au honor him and the people of the 6th Dis- trict will honor him, for having made so able and fit a speech in their behalf. FEDBRAL AND STATE RIGHTS. In a message to the Legislature, on the Louisiana question, the Governor of New Jersey, treats the whole subject of Federal and State rights in the following concise and able manner ; That such action was a clear violation of the Constitution needs no argument. A mere statement ef a few fundamental principles which lie at the foundation of our system of government, and which are so plain as to have become axioms, is all that is necessary. he first great truth bearing upon the question ia that the United States Government is the creation of the States ; that it has no power except that which was bestowed npon it by the Statex, and that all powers not delegated are reserved to the States and the people thereof. ‘he delegated powers giveu to the General Government are expressed in the Constitution. Another important fact isthat the sovereiguty of a State iscomplete and real in its proper spbere, and from this it follows that is the duty of the several States, as well as of the United States, to agsert and waintain, in a constitutional manuer, their sevaral rights. ‘The student of the Constitation will also observe that its tramere, fearing the encroachment of the Central Government on the rights of the Sates, were jealous of its military power, and hence threw around its exer- cise such guards and restrictions as made it subordinate to the civil power. Before the army of the United States can lawfully be used in any of the States when there is no invasion there must be insurrection or domestic violence, and also application for troops from the proper civil authority of the State. The right of such application is in the Legislature. Ifthe Legislature is not in session, the Governor cannot apply, unless he first call upon the Leg« islature to convene. If upon being sum- moned the Legislature cannot couvene, then, and not until then, has a Governcr the right to call Pederal suldiers junto hig State. . The Legislature could have been con- vened. In fact, on that day it was in session ; and the extraordinary epectacle was presented of the United States army dispe:sing by force the very body without whose application nota aingle soldier had the right to be there. ‘Phere was no in+ surrection or domestic violence ; there was no ylot; it was not a mob that was dis- persed and driven out by the bayonet, but it was the Legislative Assembly of a sovereign State. ‘hat was no ordinafy invasion of constitutional rights, but a stab at local self government in a vital part. It was a direct violation of the Constitution iu its most important feature, imperiling the rights of the States and the liberties of the citizen. . We are pleased to learn from the Spirit of the Age that every liquor dealer in Raleigh, except one, has been indicted for selling liqaor to minors. It is aotori- ous fact that little or no atteation is paid to the law forbidding the sale of intoxi- cants to persons under 2] yeara of age; and all good citizens will rejoice if these greedy debauchers of youth ahall be sum- marrily punished.

In the face of such evidence as thig, to which the wid- est publicity has repeatedly been given, it would be absurd to question the medicinal yir- tues of the Bitters. Skepticism upon this point was lung ago disarmed, and they are to-day as much respected and far more widely known figure conspicuously in the pharmacopeia. Phey are universally recognized to be the supreme remedy for intermittent and remittent fevers, dyspepsia, liver complaint, general de- bility. disorders af the bowls and nervousness, as well as a means fortifying the system against malarious influences and those which operate injuriously upon the sensitive organs.

So svon as a proper appreciation of the want and anability to meet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artistic and commer- cial triumph—VHE ALDINE. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or dimely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Alihough each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated aiter it is bound up at the close ofthe year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, Ji/kA ALDINE iso unique and original conception—alone and un- approached —absulutely without competition in price or character, The possessor of a complete volume can not duplicate the quantity of tine paper and engravings in any other shape or nuiober of volumes for len times its costs anc then, there is the chromo, besides. The national feature of THL ALDINE wust be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmo- politan, While THE ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its niission is to cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus, while placing before the patrons of TH1K ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the productions of the most noted American artists, attention will al- ways be given to specimens from foreign mas- ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and jastruction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with 771 ALDINE, is an important feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the artist too closely to a single Bele of subject. The literature of VHE ALDINE is alight and graceful acconipani- ment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the populur interest of the work.

April 20, 1753, Oliver Cromwell drove the representatives of the English people out of their chamber at the point of the bayonet. January 4, 1875. Ulysses S. Grant ts the experiment—upon a smaller scale, to be sure—by sending a file of soldiers into the State~House of an American commonwealth on a like illegal, revolutiooary, treasonable errand. We shall see what comes of it. It is impos- sible that the old love of chartered liber- ty, the old jealousy of arbitrary power, which blazed up so fervidly a bandred years ago, a beacon-light throwing its Beate ctw two worlds, has quite smoul- ered oat. It may be that the Americans of this generation have quite lost the seeret of that generous, yet wholly rea~ sonable and intelligent emotion, which fired the shot at Concord and kindled the bivouac fires at Valley Forge. If so, the complete subversion of our prosent in- stitutions is merely a question of years. If not, there will be such a sonorous res sponse to the manly protest and appeal of the outraged State aa will convince Capi- tol and White House that the patience of the people is at last exhausted, and that any further experiments in this—line will be attended with serious risks alike for institutors, agents, and abettors. Let ua bring the matter home to ourselves. Louisiana is a long way off, and _ besides, the fact of its participation in the seces: sion movement is still fresh in the North- ern memory. A good many people in this part of the country read about the events occurring there very much as they would read about similar events occurring in Mexico or Nicaragua. But it is a State of the American Union for all that—a State standing upon the same footing in every respect, so far as the Constitution and the laws are conceined, as Massachu- setts and New York, and Illinois. So far as the Constitution and the laws are concerned, neither President Grant nor Licutenant General Sheridan hagany right or exercises any legitimate authority at New Orleaus which he does not equally have or may not equally excreise at Boston. Whatever either of these persons can law- fully do there, they can lawfully do here. Suppose Mr. B. F. Batler, for instauce, zhould be the Republican nominee for Governor next year, and should be sound- ly beaten atthe polls—as he undoubtedly would be. Suppose President Grant should then avail himself of a strained ; constreution or doubtful enactments to ine | stall this defeated candidate with force and arms in the office to which the people of Massachusetts had eleeted another man. Suppose le should follow up this perfor- mance by placing the army of the United States at the disposal of Mr. Butler, and by sending Sheridan to Boston, with the remark that in the event of a distur- bance somebody would get hurt. Sup. pose, finally, he should undertake to de- cide a question of contested seata in the General Conrt by sending a file of soldiers into the State-House while that body was in session, with others to forcibly elect the sitting Democratic members. What would the people of Masvachsetts think of such an interferance in their home affuirs—of such a use of the United States army ?7—How would they feel about ib? What would they say about it ? What wonld they do about it? Yet, we repeat, if this sort of thing is lawful and right in Louisiana, is it lawful and right in Masachusetts. What is sauce for New Orleans is sauce for Boston. To our thinking, there has been no such oc- casion in the last hundred years tor rock~ ing the cradle of liberty, and rocking it to some purpose, as this. oo A Mother of Criminals. We find inthe New York Times the following record of a family of criminals ; that lived in one of the counties on the | Upper Hudson ia New York. Says the Limes : Some seventy ycars agoa young girl nawed ‘Margaret’ was left adrift in one of these villages—it does not appear whether \hrough the crime or misfortune of others. ‘bere was no alms-house in the place ; bat she was a subject of out- | door relief, probably receiving occasional- ly food and clothing from the officials, but never educated, and never kindly shelter. ! ed in ahome. She became the mother — of a long race of criminals and paupers, and her progency has cursed the country ever since. ‘I'he county records show: two hundred of her descendants who have been criminals. In one single generation | of her unhappy line there were twenty | children ; of these, three died in infarcy, ' and seventeen eurvived to maturity. Of the seventeen, nine served in the State: Prison for high crimes an aggregate term of fifty yeara, while the others were fre- quent inmates of jails and penitentiaries © and alms-houses ! Of the 900 deseendants, through six’ generations, from this unhappy girl who was left un the village streets and aban- | doned in her childhood, a great number: bave been idiots, imbeciles, draukards, ' lunatics, paupers, prostitutes ; but 200 of the more vigorous are on record as crimi- ° nals. ‘Ibis neglected little child bas thus’ cost the county authorities, in the effet she has transmitted, bandreds of thousands ot dollars iu the expense and care of crim- - inals and paupers, besides the ee damages she has inflicted on property | and public morals. When we thiuk of | the multitude of wretched beings she has left upon the earth ; of the suffering, deg- redation, ignorance, and crime that one child has thus tranemitted; of the evil she has caused to thousands of innocent families and the loas to the commanity, we can all feebly appreciate the impor~ tance to the public of the care and educa- ‘ tion of a single pauper child, , residing in Calcasieu, eel The North Carolina Senators wish to be Heard on the Lou- isiana Question. {{n the Senate Saturday.] Mr. Merrimon—I hope the Senator from Maine will withdraw his motion. I should like to say something on the Lou- isiana question. I bave not been able to join in the debates of the last week or ten days, but the people of the South have been so maligned that really I think as a matter of courtesy the Senate ought to allow every Southern Senator who de- sires to speak an opportunity to be heard. They know more about this matter than anybody else. I hope the Senator from Maine will not press this motion. Mr. Ransom—I desire to say to the Senate that I trust the requcst of the Sen- ator from Virginia will acceded to, that after the appropriation bill of the Seu- ate from Maine has been passed by the Senate, this debate will be resumed. It is already manifest that a number of gen- tlemen on both sides of the chamber desire to be heard further upon this question.— As for myself I must say to the Senate that I feel it to be my duty to speak on the Louisiana question. I have sat here in silence for nearly three years and not trespassed on the Senate. Itia late this evening ; other gentlemen have the floor; numbers have expressed their very great desire to be heard ; and I say to the Sens ate shat I feel it to be my duty to aek to be heard upon it I feel that I should be wanting in all that is due from me to the people whom I undertake to represent on this floor if I did not ask to be heard. I trust the Senate will accede to the re- quest of the honorable Senator from Vir- ginia. x + a A Military Despotism. [From the Boston Advertiser, Rep.] Military despotism is the proper term to describe the government now existing in Louisiana. Certainly, of all governs ments that ever existed called republican, that which for two years has stood ouly as propped by the bayonets of a soldiery owing it no allegiance is the most help-~ less. It iea usurpation initiated by a coup d'etat, and immediately fortified in place by the army of the United States. Nothing else sustains it or has sustained it from that day to this. The Congress of the United States, more than two thirds of all of the members of which belong to the Republican party, in apite of the no- torious fac»; in epite, too, of the addition- al circumstance of its own meubers, after a careful investigation, had confirmed the geucral conviction that the Kellogg Gov- ernment was a usurpation, persistently neglected to, undo the wrong. There are men who yet feel a shock of indignation when they recall the time when their court-house was put in chains, and a fu- gitive slave was taken through State street, on his way to re-cuslavement, be- tweeu files of soldiers wearing the national unifurm. But that was a small affair compared with this. Nobody responsibly connected with these proceedings will escape the c2nsurc of the nation. It is impossible to believe the Amcrican people will sanction them. However sincere the motives of their action, they will find they have assumed a monstrous burden. ‘There is no danger to the Republic likely to re- sult from leaving States to manage their own affairs that begins to be so threaten- ing to our peace and to the security of our institutions as such a precedent of resort to military foree to control the organiza- | tion of legislative bodies. SS — The old etory of the sad fate of Aaron Burr’s daughter (Theodosia Alston,) is brought to mind in the narrative of Jean Baptiste Callistre, one of Lafitte’s men, Louisiana, who writes to the Galveston News that after Lafitte abondoned his adventurous career, Chauvet, his first lieutenant, took com- mand of the Vengeance and sailed into the Gulf for a cruise. He captured the American privateerschooner Patriot, boand from Georgetown, Soath Carolina, to New York. Every person on board was ut to the sword or made food for sharkes. After disposing of the dead, Chauvet de» scended into the cabin and soon called out in an angry tone for Callistre and the mate to goto him. ‘They found him in the cabin confronted by a beautiful wo- map, who beld an empty bottle in her hand, with which he had struck Chauvet, who had attempted to make too free with her. He ordered them to tie her, hand aud foot, convey her ou board of the Ven- geance and place her in his cabiu. She fought the men and did all she could to jump overboard. Callistre says she died a f:w days after their arrival in Galveston. She was a very handsome woman and the danghter of a distinguished American. — Her clothing, whieh was of the finest ma- terial, was marked ‘T’. A.” and she hada locket containing the portrait of a beauti~ ful boy. On the locket were the words “To my wite Theodosia.” She was bar- ied on the istand, a few hundred yards to the east of old fort on the poiat. It was whispered among the men that Chauvet had killed ber because she would not yield to his wishes, Culliatre is very old now. He was the beet gunner and oarsman Lafitte and Chauvet ever had. He was nicknamed L’'Ecolier. —--—__ ~~ >e——____——_ “Q, your nose is as cold as ice,” a Bos- ton father thought he heard his daughter exclaim the other evening as he was read- ing in the next room. He walked in for an explanation, but the young fellow was atone end of the sofa and the girl ‘at the other, while both looked so inno- cent and unconscious that the old gentle- - man concluded his ears deceived him, and so retired from the scene withont a word, te SO a as A Sa als ti ie a la i Mota a dia ago, & young man wooed and 4 lady in a village not far: Iowa. The parents of the avd there was a deal of ly the couple were married: e bride, Three.months a groom desired to move to’ the family rr he wife, 9 gration, and the t was band started for the Pacific her. After the first six mon from the husband were less than a year, news came dead. In 1863, the widodw~ married a young man who had receatly arrived from Germany ; and her secopd husband was entirely ignorant of the Mfict that his bride was a widow,. But “where ignor- ance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise.” Short- ly after the marriage, the husband pur- chased a farm in Scott county, aad on that farm, the couple ever siice, and several children have blessed their an- ion. Some weeks ago, the husband of this woman arrived ia Davenport, and on mak- ing inquiries, learned the history of his wife’s marriage. Then he rode out to see her. It was fortunate for her that her liege lord was away from home, for she was very much affected.

[Nashville (Tenn) Correapoudence Louis- ville Courier-Journal. | The free pase syetem is reeciving the attention of the House, and movements are on fuot to kill it as dead by statutory action here as it has been killed by gen- eral conaent in Kentucky. ‘The House resolution was a pretty kettle of fish, however, whieh may be understood as meaning agreat many things. It charg- ed that it was a species of bribery fora railroad to offer a legislator a free pass ; it acknowledged the receipt, by members of the house, of free passes, for which it re- turned thanks ; it exonerated the officials donating these passes fiom all suspicion of bribery, and it declared that the members of the House were under no obligations whatever for said passes. This might have been very properly termed an “om- nibus resolution, embracing all things under the sun except the one iu order.

When the workman were digging in 1873, they strack into a small cavity, the nature of which was, of course, amystery to them. Without breaking farther into it, they poured plaster of Paris down the crevices that were already opened, and as soon as the plaster had hardened, the crust of lava was carefully removed, and lo! the form of a human being in his death struggle perfectly pre-~ served! Buried in the laya that harden- ed about him, his body had crumbled to dust ‘and left this - wonderful mould. Several bodies have thus been re-prodacs ed—one of them with the features per- fectly preserved, so that there is atill some expression in the face, Some parts of the skeleton are imbedded in the plas-~ ters ; and two female bodies found lying near each other are called mother and dauthgter. ‘There is uothing at Pompeii more touching than the despair depicted in the attitude of this group. —- — -- > - --- THE VICKSBURG USURPATION.— Grant has removed the Sheriff of Vicks- burg. Capt. Head, of the Third Infantry, did it. On this the Herald remarks : “Only in the case of the militia of Mis- sissippi failing to earry out the law of the State should the Federal authority be | exerted ; but Governor Ames did nothing aud the courts did nothing. ‘The inter- ference is practically bat the contiouation of the Louisiana bueineas, and will surely be condemned by the coantry. It tends rather to destroy than to uphold the sov- ‘ereignty of the State, and will throw new discredit upon the National Aduinistra- tion. In his message the President said, in reference to Lonisiana, ‘I can conceive of no case not involving rebellion: or in- surrection where such interference by authority of the general government ought to be permitted or can be jastfied.” Was there rebellion or insurrection in Vicks- burg yesterday 1 We know of none, an- less it was rebellion against the Consti« tution by the President of the United States himself. The action of the Executive Committee awenport, | at its recent session in Raleigh, was truly Pe nal grztring and will we trust, have its ae oi ane. ht with the members of the Legislature. With this official endorse- ment by the party of the proposition to call 2 Convention, there can scarcely be auy farther opposition to it within our owalines; for unless gentlemen deny the authority of the committee, the voice of the party has been heard, and that, ‘voice is for Convention. Those gentle. men who have so long been so solicitous for the advocates of Convention to close their mouths for the sake of harmony, if they desire to preserve the appearance of consistency, must no longer te heard in opposition. And is the opinion of the Evecutive Committee, composed as it was of mem- bers from all parts of the-State, aided b the adviee of gentléme of the press ai other representative men from all parts of the State, worth nothing in forming an opinion asto the will of the party? And is the will of the party binding on its members? After an expresgion of its will, what ought to control be action of a gen- tleman if there should happen to be a variance between the whole party and his particular locality? Is his political allegi- ance due to the whole party, or is it due to the fragment? This is a question for certain men who have earnestly and con- scientiously opposed the call of a Conven- tion, now to consider. Opposition up to this point, and difference Sr onintei _ was perfectly ligitimate; but will it be so any longer? Has not the party spoken, and has it not spoken in favor of a Conventions This ia the question. And can gentlemen who look to the future, and whore friends look fondly to the future for them, afford to put them- selves in opposition to the deliberately expressed will of the party upon so vital an issue as the one now presented? If they are not,bound now by every tie of party fealty and by every necessity of party discipline to yield their private cons victions, when and under what circam- stances will they be bound ? It must be remembered that this deci-~ sion of the Executive Committee is not the result of any mere sudden ebulition of feeling. For five long months the discus- sion has been going on. At first public sentiments, so far as it was expreseed, was against the Convention movement. The press was overwhelmiugly against it. And still the discussion wepton and still Convention grew. All sections of the State were beard from, and still the discussion went on, and sull Convention grew. At last, in course of time, the preas became largely in favor of Conven- tion, and all pretence that the people, save in certain localitice, were opposed to it fell to the ground, Meanwhile the Legis- lature met, and, unwilling to act at once, postponed the question until after recess, and at the same time the Hxecutive Com- mittee was summoned to meetin Raleigh. Ata day more than five months subse- een to the beginning of the discussion, the Legislature re-assembled and the Com- mittee assembled, with its invited guest. Legislators were there from every part of the State; members of the Committee were there from every part of the State; gen- tlemen of the press were there from every part of the state, and other invited guest were there from every pait of the State. And after two days solemn, earnest, de- liberation, the Committee declared in favor of the call of a Convention ! Could anything be more intelligently done, more deliberately done? Have we not the right then to say we think it is now the duty of every true member of the party to cease opposition to the call of a Convention ? - Journal. An extraordinary account has appeared ina French agricultural journal to the effect that straw forms au admirable light- ning conductor. It bas been observed that straw had the property of dischar~ ging Leyden jars without epark or ex;los sion, and some one in the neighborhood of Tarbes had the idea of constructing | straw lightning conductors, which were formed by fastening a wist or rope of straw to a dead stick by means of brass wire, and capping the conductor with a brass point. It is asserted that the expe- riment has been tried on a large scale around ‘l'arbes, eighteen communes havs ing been provided with such straw con- ductors, only one being erected tor every six arpedts, or 750 acres, and that the whole neighborhood had been preserved from the effects, not only of lightning, but of hail also.

Saturday night 9th instant, Ayers left Warm Springs Hotel, and crossed the river to a Mr ‘T'ur- ner’s with whom he gat until about 9 o’- clock. He then got up and started back to the hotel, and proceeded about two- thirds across the bridge, when two pistol shots were heard.

Lewis is the wag of the Detroit Free Press. During the past three years he has written some of the fivest touches of sentiment and human nature iu his police court proceedings that have ever appeared in the United States. Unplike Bailey, he did not inherit his wit; unlike Mark Twain. it did not come to him through associations. The truth is it was blown into him. He was au ordinary stapid country printer, a- bout Ann Arbor and Lansiug, Mich, until he took it into his head to go on ‘‘a trainp.” After footing it to Luuisville, he engaged to work his passage on a steamer to New Or- leaus. The first day out the steamer blew up. Lewis, one of the victiins, was sadly searzed and crippled, but as soon as he gut able to write he sent an account of his ex- perience aud sensation in being blowu ap to the Detroit F'ree Press, which at once estab- lished his reputation asa versatile genius. On his return home the Free Press touk him on its columns as items man. The Jeading editor said the other day that he had to watch him like a hawk, for about half the time, like vld Milton, he clings lovingly to the flattest emanations of his brain. Lewis writes a good deal for the Easteru weeklies, over the signature of ‘“M. Quad’’—‘a burgeofé em quad,” he says, ‘‘as it is worth- less in a printing office, except in its own line—it won't justify with any other type.” Lewis will last some time. General Sheridan appears to pay as little regard to truth as he does to the Constitution, and to know no more of the one than he does of the other, or of civil government.

CONVENTION. We invite special attention to an article in this paper from the Wilmington Jour- nul. We think the view there takcn is the correct one, and we are unable to un- stand what show of excuse the Legislatare can pow make for longer delaying to call a Convention. The party: has spoken, and the people, for the hundredth time, through the State Executive Commitiee, have declared in favor of a Convention. The Executive Committee is as much of a representative body as the Legislature, and is as capable of expressing the wishes of the people, ‘The gentlemen composing the Committee came from all parts of the State, fresh fram the people, and after and with remarkable Spartan- due consideration ananimity passed a resolution, asking the Legislature to cal] a Convention. Will the Legislature heed the voice of the Dem- ocratic- Congervetive party and the wishes of the people? Or are these to be disre~ and en- garded aud spit upon in obedience to a few timid and obstinate members of the Legislatare 3 For. decency’s sake let us He| have a Convention, or let the Legislature pass areaolution why it is not called. Everybody now knows that the reason given by those who oppose it is simply timidity, fear of Grant, but we want it spread on the State records as a part uf tke proceedings of the Legislature, if this He was appeal to onr fears is really to prevail. It will teach our children cantion, make them respect our Legislatora, and vencrate the glorious government established by our fathers. ——— ote Wendell Phillips writes a lonz letter to the Boston Advertiser protesting against tbe passage of any “civil rights” bill that does not insist upon mixed schools. He says the Southern whites will not destroy their common school system if such a bill ig passed, calla their remonstrances “bul- lying bluster,” and gives as a reason why they can’t doit, that they hayen’t the power. “Six or seven thousand negro voters are not easily thwarted,” he adds. All of which proves that Wendell is still tbe same old ass he always was. Let him pase such a bill, and see whether or not we have the power — Wilmington Jour- nal. Now men that are afraid to call a Con- vention in a regalar, constitutional and orderly manner, lest Grant and Sheridan will interfere, would raise no objection to mixed schools. They would be afraid to do so; for Grant would be more likely to, interfere in the latter case than in the former.

Resolved further, that we, the General Assembly, will relieve them of these checks to their welfare, prosperity and happiness, at the soonest practicable mo- meut by one or the other of the modes provided in the Constitution. The above we extract from the Legis- lative proecedings of last Saturday. 39 Senators voted for, and S against these resolutions. Here then we have the al- most unanimous declaration of the Senate that the Conetitation is unsuited to the wants of onr people; that it is @ check upon their energy and impedes their wel- fare ; and yet this same body is hesitating abcut calling a Convention to ehange this unsuited and oppressive instrument. A resolution is passed renewing the promise already worn thread-bare, thatthe General Assembly will relieve the people of this constitution. Well, if the members intend to make good this promise, let them pro- ceed without delay to call a- Convention for the purpose ; for this is the only way they can relieve the people. By this means they can complete the work of remodeling the Gonstitution or jneure its completion ; but in no other way. ‘The man is simply stupid who imagines that the necessary amendments to the Consti- tution can be obtained by the Legislative mode, without entailing upon the people double what a Convention would cost. When it is understood that every amend: ment will require a separate bill, the trouble and great expense of remodeling the Constitution by the legislative mode will oceur to every intelligent reader. Then there isno certainty thatany amend- mente the present Legislature may pro- adopted by the next, or ap proved by the people. If the Legislature intends to do anything for the relief of the people, it mustcall a Convention. There is no certainty In any thing else. The above regolutions were passed in the House, on Tuesday last, by a vote of 75 for, to 23 against. KIRK’S LAMBS—REDIViVI. We made some editorial allusion on yes- terday, says the Petersburg (Va.)

Bishop Bowman gave an account of what he krew about the treatment of colored peo~ ple in Louisiana, narrating a number of instances in which they had been shame fully abused and deprived of life even. By invitation Rev, b. L. Ives, of New York, addressed the meeting and his speech was of the Radical kind. He de- claved there is altogether too much toady- ism on the part of Northern people in their treatment of the South. He said we are undertaking now to coax the devil out of the miserable whelps down South, when nothing but strychnine and caunon ought to be used. He rather agreed with Phil Sheridan’s declaration during the war, “that if he had owned hell and ‘Texas he would leas out Texas and live in the other place.’ Mr, Eves aduiinistered a castigation to the church, declaring that there is not a paper jn the Methodist church that dares discuss the civil rights bill, and ask that it be enfore- ed. He said he believed the meanest rascals in the South are in the Methodist church South. He declared himee)f a Radical of the strongest kind, and he said he believed the more he ha‘ed the rebels of the South the more he loved God. He declared he believed tbat the spirit now rampant in the South bas got to be crushed out by another war, and he long- ed for the appearance of some colored man able to become a leader among bis people, wielding the sword and torch. He said the bishops ought to come out publicly and declare the whole tiuth about the treatment of the colored people in the South, bat he didn’t believe they woald. If they did, le knew they coaldn’t retarn to the South, for if they did they would be hung ; but he intimated that it was no worse to hang a bishop than a minister, but he suggested if it was done it might wake up the people quicker than anything else. He thonght the bishops were too ten- der hearted and they reminded of the him man who wanted to cut off his dog’s tail but be was too tender hearted to cut it off where it ought to be, so cut off an inch ata time, The speech of Mr. Ives was re- ceived with frequent demonstrations of approval ; some of his most Radical ut- terance exciting considerable applause, mingled with Jaughter.” We publish the above that our readeys may see what is thought of us by the nasal-twang, psalm-singing hypocrites of New England. it is astonishing that the thunder bolts of heaven be still while such impious scoundrels utter such words of wickedness aud hate. pose will be There is no possibility for any permanently reconcilia- tion to be effected between the North and the Sonth so long as such utterrances are applauded by the people of either section We can bat pity any one who cay feel and speak as this saintly monsters, Mr, ee A + ane thank od LOFTS oh Wholesale & Retail Drug- oy t . sis" «SALISBURY, N. 0.

The proprietors of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are constantly in the receipt of voluntary testimon- ial acknowledging the cnrative and preventive poteney of his benficent tonic and corrective, emanating nat only from those wha have felt its influence, but glso from well known mem- bers of the medical profession both here and abPoad, who have witnessed its effects, and prescribed it in their private practice. In the face of auch evidence as this, to which the wid-y est publicity has repeatedly been given, it would be absurd to question the medicinal yir- tues of the Bitters. Skepticism upon this point waa lung ago disarmed, and they are to-day as much respected and far more widely known than many of the official remedies which figure conspicugusly in the pharmacopaia. They are universally recognised to be the supreme remedy for intermittent and remittent fevera, dyspepsia, liver complaint, general de- bility, disorders of the bowls and nervousness, | as well as a means fortifying the system against malarious influences and those which operate injuriously upon the sensitive organs. Wheth- er used asa remedy for actual disease, as 4 means of building up the broken down physi- que, or of hastening convalesence, they are never resorted to in vain, and they restore complete health when prescribed remedies cannot even initiate its recovery. a NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Prospeotus for 1875—Eighth Year THE ALDINE, THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA, Issued Monthly. , “A Mago fieent Conce; tion Wonderfully carried out,’ The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of our great artists, has always been recognized, and many attemps have been made to meet the want. The successive failures which soinvairably followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of the people of America to the claims of high art. So soon as a proper appreciation of the want and anability to meet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artistic and commer- cial triumph—ZVHE ALDINE. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or tinely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in’ black and white. Although each succeeding number affurds a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of TIE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it is bound up at the close ofthe year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of asimilar class, 7/1 ALDINI: isa rango ofa newspaper, The Tribune makes a It becomes therefore a matter of vital impor ideas of this vast section should be in able and couisciéntious hands and a matter for con gratulation that the farmer’s newspaper far excellence has the high standing ot The 7Tri- bune.—[The (N.

A The Carglina Household Magazine, An Illustrated Monthly’ of Choice Litera- ture will be issued from the Goldsboro Mes- senger Office commencing with January, 1875. The first number will be ready for mailing by December 16th, and the periodical will be pub- lished each succeeding month thereafter with- out interruption. No auvantage will be neg- lected which either talent or capital can com mand torender each issue an agreeable and instructive compendium of choice reading, by popular writers, both home and abroad. THE CARGLINA HOUSEHOLD MAGAZINE will bea large 28-page, eighty-fonr column monthly, handsomely prirted on tinted book paper and beautifully illustrated. It is a thoroughly Southern enterprise, and its success is already fully assured. ‘The publisher means to make it a first-class monthly, that, one intro- duced in the family circle, is sure, to be eagerly watched for and carafully preserved. Its “PORTRAITGALLERY,” will prove an at- tractive feature. The January number will contain a life-like picture of EX-GOV. Z.B.

The national feature of THE ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense. ‘True art is cosmo- politan, While TH ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itselt entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on gronnds of intrinsic merit, ‘Thus, while placing before the patrons of THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the productions of the most noted American artists, attention will al- ways be given to specimens from foreign mas- ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American acencry, | original with TILE ALDINE, is an important | feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size /more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicions interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjec’s, sustain an unabated interct, impossible whcre the scope of the work confines the artist too closely to a single style of subject. The literature of THE ALDINE is alight and graceful accompani- ment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work. PREMIUM FOR 1875. Every anbscriber for 1875 will receivea beau tiful portrait, in oil calors, of the same noble dog whose picture in a former issue attracted so much attention. “Wran's Unselfish Friend" ‘ will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves such a dog, and the portrait is executed sv true to the life, that it seems the veritable presence of the animalitself. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Brooklyn) barks at it! Al- though so natural, no one who sees this premium chromo will haye the slightest fear of being bitten. Besides the chromo, every advance subscriber to THE ALDINE for 1875 is constituted a member, and entitled to all the privileges of THE ALDINE ART UNION, The Union owns the originals of all THE ALDINE pictures, which, with other paintings and engravings, are to be distributed among the members. ‘I'o every series of 5,000 subscri- bers, 100 different pieces, valued at over $2,500 are distributed as soon as the series is full, and the awards of cach series as made, are to be pub- lished in the next succeeding issue of VLE A L- DINE.

C. State Bonds took place week before last at the capitol in Raleigh. It was private, or at least only those holding bonds were ad- mitted to the conference. The Report of the Chairman of the Com- mittee will be found~below : Pursuant to the joint resolution of the two Houses of the General Assembly, the ‘Joint Select Committee on the State Debt and Liabilities.’’ met in the Senate Chamber at 12 M., on the 14th of January. inst., to con- fer with the creditors of the State, and re- mained in session during that and the two days following. During this time, gentlemen were present from New York, Virginia and North Caro- lina, representing in the aggregate about two millions of the ‘wld’? and ‘fanded in- terest’? bunds, with less amount of ‘new’ and ‘special tax’’ bonds. Numerous let- ters, addressed to the Governor, the Chair- man and members of the Committee, from persons in various sections of the country, owners of different classes of bonds of this State, were read and considered. Several propositions were made by bond- holders looking to a settlement of the State Debt. Those from North Carolina very generally said that they had entire confidence in the judgment and fairness of the Legis- lature and would accept such terms as it might propose. One of the Virginia gen- tlemen expressed his willingness to accept any terms of settlement which might be offered by this General Assembly. The other Virgivia creditors present, represent- ing vver half a million of dollars of the ‘‘old’’ bouds, and professing to be able to influence a very large amount of the entire debt. proposed to surrender the *‘old’’ bonds and the ‘funded interest’? bonds with the accumulated interest on them. and take in lieu therecf a new bond fur the face of the vthers, bearing 4 per cent. interest for 5 years and then 6 per cent. for the remainder of the term. The chief representative for the New York ivterest proposed that the ‘old’ bonds, ‘funded iuterest’? bonds aud the acquired interest on the saine, be taken up with a new bond at fifty cents in the dollar. That the ‘new’ bonds, not ‘‘special tax,” be taken at thirty cents in a like bond, and that the “special tax’? be discharged by the saine new bond at fifteen cents in the dollar. He said, however. that he did not believe the State was morally bound to pay any portion of these “special tax’? bonds. but that in order to get rid of them would advise Sometimes many of these symtoms attend the disease, at others very few; but the Liver, the largest organ in the body, is generally the seat uf the disease, andif not Regulated in ie great suffering, wretchedness and DEAT H wall ensue.

It has been a commonly received op- inion among the people and, to a large extent, among the lawyers, that where a corporation as a city, county or town was sued by its creditors, and judgments ob- | tained, on debts to be discharged by tax- | ation, that the Federal Court had the | power, after exhausting the force of a, writ of mandamus, to send the United States Marshal, with the tax list and force the people to pay the tax to him, in otber words, where there waa no sheriff and commissioners to attack for contempt | for not collecting tax, that the Court could collect it through its mar- shals. And we are informed that in one ins, stance where the Commissioners of 2 county, and the Sheriff resigued, to avoid the collection of taxes, to pay the coun- ty’s bonds that Judge Bond did order the , Marshal to collect the tax, and pay it into Court. It will therefore be some relief to our) cities and countics, (and also to the Leg-: islature, which has been threatened in case it did not levy tiie tax to pay interest on the Special tax Bonde) to know that the Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the Federal Courts have no such power to force the collection of taxes. In Bes vs. eity of Watertown 19 Wal-, lace p. 107, the caurt says: ‘I'he pow- | er to impose burdens and raise moncy is the highest attribute of sovereignty, and , g excrcised, firet to raise money for pub-: lic services, and second by the power of Legislutive authority only. It is a power that bas not been extended to the, jadiciary, cepecially is it beyond the power | of Federal Judiciary to assume the plece of a State, in the exercise of this authori | ty.” So we may now feel alittle easrer about the payment of the many frandulent debts ineartied by the carpet bag officers, who come down to rob and impovish us. The Legislature is not subject to the | writ of mandamus, and the United States Marshale cannot collet the taxes, and if these holders of the fraudulent bonds, wou’: compromise on fair terms, they will have to go without payment.—Char- | lutte Observer. ee A man was recently found lying inser- sible in the street by the police of Balti- | He has since been claimed by a! woman who poritively identified him as her husband, and by a young man, a” total stranger to the woman me = just as positive that the mau 1s his fath- er. — more.

It is in its own way viviparious. It does emit eggs; but, at the proper time, sends forth its’ young alive. The eggs are dislodged from the ovaries and committed to the nursing of the gill and mantel. At first each egg seems to be inclosed in a capsule. It is of a yellowish color; but, as iacuba- tion or development progresses, the colur changes, first to a gray, then to a brown, afterward to violet. ‘This isa eign that the time of eviction is at hand; for nature now issues her writ to that effect. And wonderfal little beings they are when the writ arrives to vacate the homestead ; for whole troops of them can go gracefully and without jostling, through the maziest evolutions in that tiniest ephere—a drop of water. Nothing is more curious than to see, under the microscope these little motlasks, travel ina drop of Water in vaest sand oaths to sup numbers, mutually avoiding one another crossing each other’s path in every direction with a wonderful rapidity, never touching and uever meeting. ‘lhe parent oyster has, indeed, a prodigious family to turn out upon the world. But when this time does come, though winter be near, her actions are summary, and the wee bairns are every one ordered from home. They are spit forth, or ejected from the shell. Filled with water, the valves are sudden- ly snapped together. Every snap emits a small, whitish cloud. Though a little of the milky fluid be in it, this whitish cloud is composed chiefly of the tiny fly, for individually they are almost invisible. indeed, who shall count the oyster’s off- spring ? Science, by her own methods, has made the computation, and so she gives us the astounding assurance that a single oyster during one spawning season emits 2,000,000 embryos !—Science Ex- change. Confederate Forces. General DH Hill’s Magazine published the following carefully prepared estimates of the Southern forces during the late war, condensed from calculations made with great care, by Dr Jones, Secretary of the Historical Society, and approved by Gen. S. Cooper, Adjutant General of the Con- federate Army. Is it not amazing that the gallant 600,- 000 could successfully maivitain the field for a period of four years against the com- bined forces of Yankeedom and the rest of mankind ? 1. The available forces of the Coufed~ erate army did not, during the war, exceed - 900,000. 2. The Confederates never had for the'r defense more that 200,000 meu in the field at one time. 3. From 1861 to 1865 the Confederates actively engaged were only 600,000. 4 Losses, the total number of deaths during tbat time was 200,000. 5. Losses of prisoners counted as total losses, on account of the Uuited States ; policy of exchange, 200,000. 6. The loss of Confederate States Army by discharge, disability aud desertion amounted to 100,000. ‘ 7, At the close of the war, the force of of the Confederate Army was less than 100,000. 8. Out of 900,000 men, 500,000 were lost to the survice. 6 Gee Taking A Cold. This is the season for taking cold, first a'few snapping cold days, then a long spell of damp, foggy weather, so mild that winter garments feel oppressive, and yet one does not dare to take them off.— When some unfortunate sits with throb- bing brow, stuffed head, sore throat, and a vexatious little cough, when alternate chills and fever fits run over his whole body, and he feels “most miserable,” if anything in the world cap interest him, ‘it is the flood of remedias suggested by sympathizing friends, or the “certain cure for colds’”’ which meets the eye in every newspaper of the day. Pages would not be sufficient even to give a brief mention of all these remedies—allo- pathic, homeopathic, bydropathic—for a “cold” is one of tue most common as well ag one of the most uncomfortable of the ills to which flesh is heir. Not long ago we read somewhere an article on “How to avoid taking cold”—a practical point which everybody would like to understand The gen- eral idea advanced was that when the bodyis at its prime, with youth, vigor, — purity of blood, and a good constitution onits side, no ordinary exposure will cause any unpleasant effects; indeed, ordiuary precautions against colds may be disregarded without danger. But when the blood is impure, the body disordered, and vigor of life begius to wane, then colds will be developed often upon the slightest provocation and without any known exposure. It trcquently seems as though no degree of care will. prevent a persou with a feeble constitution from “taking cold,” as it is termed. ‘To be secure from this evil the vital processes must be strong and ina healthy action. Consequently the best way to avoid tak+ ing eold is to build up a good conetitation by obeying all the laws of health. ‘Those who are permanently and incurably weak and feeble must doubtless submit to their fate. ‘They must carefully guard against exposures—and even then will doubtless be afflicted with “colds.” a Vor several days there has been a sort of sadness in the armosph:re, and now it The Emporer of China is dead, and we have no doubt he will be sadly missed in the commanity, and has left many friends and relatives to mourn his untimely end.

Hill, of Georgia, has just made at Atlanta, Ga., one of the noblest and most foreihle speeches of the day. In the course of this logical, bril- liant, and patriotic effort ocenrs the fol- lowing grand and brief parallel between Secession and Radicalism. We believe that it will find a cordial response in the hearts of the great body of the American people : “Secession was a mistake—a terrible mistake: but secession was no erime. [Great applause.] It violated no oaths; it trampled upon no individual rights ; it dispersed no legislatures ; it throttled no State; it eought to shed no blood; it burnt no cities; it invaded no homes! Radicalism is no mistake. It is deliberate, intention- al, wicked, ever-ineréasing crime; (ap- plause ;) it has tranipeled upon ten thou- the Constitation. It defied the Union as a fact that it might destroy the Union as a principle; under pretence of reconstructing the States it has destroyed the States. It has sworn to support the Constitution only to seize upon power to enable it to subvert the Constitution; under pretence of restoring peace it has blighted the country with war, poverty, and sorrow; it has burned cities, it has dispersed legislatures, it has robbed the poor, plundered the helpless, punished the innoceut, and it has chained liberty to the car of tyranny. .I arraign Radicalism toxnight before the bar of this outraged country as the only real inten~ tional rebel in American history, [Ap» plause.] It is a rebel against the Consti- tution of our fatbere; it is a rebel against the sovereigniy of tbe States; it is a rebel against the domestic tranquility which the Constitution was intended to insure; it is a rebel against every principle of justice, and a rebel against every blessing of lib- erty. |'Tremendous applause.’’| Will Keeping Sheep Pay P A writer in the National Live Stock Jouranal gives his idea on this subject: Sheep pay better than any other stock, no matter what the kind of stock is, I have been feeding some 300 head of cat- tle, and I am satisfied that, even with the most favorable condition for selling, when the time comes, [ shall make a great deal more money, dollar for dollar, on the money invested in sheep than I shail make on the capital invested in cat- tle. I have 600 sheep, runniug without any porticalar attention or care, und have sold $1,400 worth of wool this year’s clip aud have 250 lambs br<ides. I do not think it posible to have done so well on au equal amount of capital invested in ea'tle.’ One great advaniage vheep have over other stock is, they neyer die of the contagious diseases which they contract. ‘Liiey get the scab or foot-rot or something else, and if uncliceked it gets them in bad condition, and wonld ultimas tely, perhaps, kill them. But the very worst contagious disease to which sbeep are subject, give the owner ample time to treat the affected animals, and the dis- cases are generally of a character which yield readily to treatment. Bat a man PRESERVING MANuRE.—The Boston Journal of CUhemisiry states that the scources of loss in the storage of manure are two: first the escape of volatile am- monia and other gas, and secondly, the lores of valuab'e salts by leaching. The firat diffeulty may be obviated by cover- ing the excrement with eight or ten inches of good soil or loam, which will absorb all escaping gases. A bushel or so of plaster may be advantageously scattered over the heap before the soil is thrown on. The whole mass should be perfectly covered, leaviug no “chimney” for gas~ eous exudation. ‘The danger of leaching may be avoided by covering the heap with hay or straw sufficiently thick to shed most of the rain. If kept in this way a sufficient, time, the manure will undergo spontaneous decomposition, the products of which will be ready for im- mediate assimilation by plants. By both the above processes we have some of the moat hae constituents of manure ; which would otherwise be lost. : The Sultain and Satan. There is an eastern story of a Saltan who overslept himself, so as not to awak- en at the hour of prayer. So the devil came and waked, and told him to pray. “Who are you ?” said the Sultan. “O, no master,”’ replied the other ; my act is good, is it not? No matter who does the good action, so long as itis good.” “Yes,” replied the Sultan, “but I think you are Satin. I know your face ; you have some bad motive.” “But,” says the other, “I am not so bad as I am painted. You see I have left off my horns and tail. I am a pretty good fellow, after all, I was an angel once, and I still keep some of my original goodness.” “That's all very weel, replied the sagacious and prudent Caliph “but you are the tempter; that’s your business ; and I wish to know why you want me to get up and pray.” ‘Well,’ said the devil, with a flirt of im- patience, “if you must know, I will tell you. If you had slept and forgotten your prayers you would have been sorry for it afterward and penitent; but if you go on now, and do not neglect a single prayer for ten yeara, you will be so gatis- fied with yourself that it will be worse for you than if you had missed one sometime and repented of it. God loves your fault mixed with penitence, more than your virtue seasoned with pride.” —— —_ +e - Missouri’s new Senator, Gen. Cockrell, is evidently ambitious to preserve the reputation of his State for eloquence in the Senate. Iu his speech acknowleding the} honor of his election, he said: “Whea the roar of the last hostile gun died away, with more than the heroism of the Roman Curitus, we filled that chasm with all our hopes for the establishment of a separate nationality, and bowed in recognition of our alligiance to the Fed- heral Union and our love to our common ‘country.

I have known farmers to be well-nigh ruined by the appearance of contagious disease of this character. Sheep are happily exempt from such rapid and fearful mortality. Besides when a sheep dies—and they will dic sometimes— his pelt is sufficient to pay sor his keep from the last shearing to his death. It makes no difference when he dics, or what kills him. the sheep never dies in debt. ——__~—>s A singular propheey fulfilled. In 1829 in Westmoreland county, DPa., Joseph Evans was hung for killing John Cissler under the gallows and declared that the killing of Cissler was accidental. there would be no other persons hung in that county fora period of forty years. And he also named the witnesses whi swore falscly against him and declared that not a man of them would tural death, there has not been an execution in the years ago, and, what is still the more singular of the witnesses he mentioned one was drowned one was kicked by a horse, and from the injuries received, died ; one was_ hung in Ohio, tor horse stealing, by a mob, one was struck by lightning and killed on the old postage when a train of ears rolled him over and left the lifeless remains of the witness a round mass of human flesh. ‘Those ars rested and tried for murder have either been sentenced to various periods in the Penitentiary or have escaped tbe horrors near approach of the fatal day. —- - oo We learn from the Ozford papers that the store house, entire stock of goods and books and papers of Messrs.

Burnt to Death. A BEAvTIFUL Youna Woman SAcriFI- CEs HERSELF aND Marxs Out HER GRAVE. ’ Honespae, Pa., Jan. 14.—Criasy Hocker, a religious fanatic, buraed her- self to death at White’s Valley, this county, yesterday. She was a young and accomplished woman,’ the daughter of Wm. Hocker, a wealthy farmer of the above place. She had for five or six years labored at intervals under the hallu- cination that she had committed grievous sin against what she termed “her Imman- uel,” and was in the habit of building alters in her father’s fields and sacrificing lambs as a burnt offering to appease the wrath of her offended deity. Yesterday Mr. Hocker went to Carbon- His daughter having manifested signs of a recurrence of her inganity, he left a hired man to look after her, her mother being dead. The man went away at noon, and did not re- turn to the honse. Mr. Hocker came back at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Entering the kitchen of his house he was horrified to find the body’ of bis daughter lying on the coals and ashes of what has been one of her alters, and burned to a crisp. Her face and the upper part of her body alone had escaped. She had constructed the alter or pyre out of a set of quilting frames.

In commenting on the awest of White- law Reid, editor of the New York Tri- bune, the Herald enunciates the following rather novel doctrine but every word of which ia true: “Bat there is another point which con~ cerns us as journalist. Mr. Reid has often said himself, in the columns of his newspaper, that he believes in frequent actione for libel. We share that belief. A journalist has no more right to assail the private character of a citizen than he has to put a kuife into his side or to fire a pistol at him in the dark. When we hear all this cant and noise about the “in- vasion of the libertics of the prees,’”’ “lim- itations of the rights of editors,’ and an attempt to enforce a gag law” and an in- terferance with a prerogative of Republican institutions, we despise it. Law is the master of all men, journalist as well as the rest. If we libel a citizen we are perfectly willing to answer for it. If the press ever gains 80 much power in this country that it can assail private characs ter, then, instead of being a safeguard of liberty, it will be the weapon of black- mailing and tyranny, For ourselves we wish no such immunity from the law. We are very eure that Mr. Reid will be only too glad to welcome the action brought against him by Governor Shep. herd, and to prove, before a jury of his fellow countrymen, what he has said in the columns of his paper.” + <2 Detroit has a policeman who has thoroughly studied human nature and who has a heart full of kindness.— When he sees a Jady fall he steps forward and picks her up in the most graceful manner. Realizing ber embarrassment, be remarks: “No one but myself witnessed the acci- dent, madam. Those boys are langhing about a thing which happened bere two days ago. Itis very pleasant for a bad day, madam. Your folks are all well I hope ? Lots of people buying Santa Claus presents just now. ‘The boys are laugh- ing because a bald-headed man fell down. Boys will laugh, you know, when they are tickled. Wish to teke the car, madam ? Well, good day. You cau rest assured that no one saw you fall. Some ladies strike on their head, bat you only stumbled, madam—a mere graceful stum- ble.” oe ee JOURNALISM AS 4 Business.—In coms menting on the failare of a newspaper manager, the St. Louis Globe tells a plain truth in the followi:g words: The busi- ness of journalism will continue to be an inviting field for experiments to those who have a large amount of egotism. A man who, having edited a newepaper antil he was forty, should suddenly announce Lim. self a lawyer, would be regarded as a fool by the legal profession; and yet we often hear of lawyers of forty making sudden pretensions to journalism. ‘There isan idea that the busines of eduing requires no apprentieeship ; that editors come forth from law offices and colleges fully armed for the profession, like Pallas from the brow of Juve. It is a mistake ; there is not in America to-day, a single journalist of national reputation, who has not devoted more time and more hard work to his profession than, with equal fitnes and application, would bave made him a good lawyer or a good doctor. And yet ninety out of a hundred men you meet on the street will hesitate about carrying a hod or making a pair of shoes; whereas, there will probably not be one in the hundred, who can’t according to his own judgement, edit any newspaper in the country better than it is edited, no matter how or by whom. — 67.---WHOLE NO. 71 A Brave Daxpy.—A great dandy the first Earl of Holland, wall -kabea? to history.

Forty and fifty familes sometimes crowded under one roof.

AMIR me ee And now it appears that Forney, the owner and editor of “my two papers both daily,’ and a recognized leader in the Republican party, has had some tHittle to do with the Pacific Mail swiadle. Irwin, the manager of the subsidy, testifies that he paid the immaculate John W. Forney the eum of $25,000 for his aid in getting the bill through Congress. True Jobn W. was “reluctant.” He wished to have nothing to do with the matter, bat when the sum offered wae mentioned, his seru~ ples gave way and he accepted service in the ranks of the lobbyist. The money was paid him, Irwin says, becanse he could keep Sam.

The office-holders says we are in now and can ran the gov ernment until our time is out, and we don’t want to be interfered with by a Convention. It is therefore bad policy to have a Convention now. The timid, or the office-holder’s friends, say Grant won't allow a Convention to assemble. He will send Sheridan down here if we call oue, and therefore, it is inexpedient. In 1871 the Rada, then in powe:, said Grant would not permit a Convention to assemble: In 1875 the Conseryatives, being ia office, declare the same thing, that is, thas Grant will over-ruu the State with troops, if we attempt to call a Con-~ vention in a legal, egnstitutional and | quict way.

His opinion is able and well considered, but we have been of the opinion all the time that it did not require mach learning in the law to find this out. We have long ago proclaimed all the new scalawag> debt unconstitational, null and void, a fraud and a swindle, and the Courts are just beginning to agree with us. When we consider how this debt was made, we are astonished that any intelligent person, possessed of common sense, could ever entertain the idea that it is bindiug upon the people. It is sajd that the Supreme Court will overrule the opinion of Judge Henry, or it has already done so, because, as ia al- leged, a large sum was paid for a decision favorable to the holders of this fraudulant debt. We don’t know that this is the case. It is charged and it has not been denied. One thing we do know, and it is this: the people have no confidence in in that Court.’ And if Judge Henry's de- gision be overruled nobody will believe that law or justice had anything to do with the matter. ee We want to make a suggestion. In our ‘Town—as in every other—there are numbers of boys and young men who are compelled ta work during the day, the week through, and consequently have uo What we want to suggest is that some one who is time for attending day echool. qualified for the position, .will open a night school, which this clase of persons might attend. We believe the movement would be hailed with joy by many as apening up ta them a chance for geequir- ing at least a nuclimentary education. Many boys and young men might thus be educated aud saved the mortification and shame of growing up in ignorance. .In fact we are nat at all certaiu that it would uot be a good idea for the Town to estab- lish and support such an institution, and open its doors to all comers. We think the results would be most gratifying to evcry lover of hia race. Who will act in this matter ? The Judicial Imbroglio, We learn from. the Raleigh papers that the Supreme Court have come toa decision in the Judicial muddle cases in the 2nd and 8th Districts. The Court hold that Moore is the rightful judge in the 2nd District and Clond in the 8th. This is another argument for Convention. If Judge Moore and Cloud believe in an elective Judiciary, and had as much self. respect as tle North Carolina judges of former days, they would resign at once and not force themeelves on an unwilling people. Itis to be hoped that the Leg- islaturs will not fail to provide for the re- imbursement of Judges Hilliard and Wil- son for their losses in this co:test, since it was the action of the last Legislature that brought abont the whole matter.— Charlotte Observer. We fully concur with the Observer, and think that the Legislature onght to fully indemnity judge Wilron and Hilliard. It would be very unjust to them, should they have to lose any thing by this decision of the Supreme Court. ~~ ___—— Suspicion of Judicial Stealing in North Carolina. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—T here seems to be a screw louse in respect to the judi- cial expenses of the Western District of North Carolina. The report from this district was omitted by Attorney-General Williams, This fact arrested the atten- tion of the committee of the House on the expenses of the Department of Justice, and they called tormally for a report, Tt turns out that in a single year the expens ees of this district are $139,000, of which $52,000 are for marshals’ fees alone. The whole subject is to be investigated at once by the committee.” We clip the above from the New York Sun of a recent date. We don't know any thing of the truth of the assertions made. But they come pretty straight, and then we have heard something of the kind rumored before. Que Lundred and thirty nine thousand dollars of the peoples’ money required to keep up a Federal Court in Western North Carolina! and FIFTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS wasted on marshals alone, in one year! Think of it, ‘Tax-payers. And what good has ail this expenditure done? What has been the effect of it? Why, simply to harrass the people of the Western counties, to bedevil them and keep up a system of espionage over them. All the taxes on liquor made in the State will not amount to as mach as it costs to collect them according to a high o ficial, onder the present Radical sytem of Internal revenue more than half of the taxes paid by the people aie stolen. Must the people con- tinue to pay taxes for the benefit of thieves ?

" CONVEETIONAL INTEREST “There can be but lithe doubt that the act of Assembly antborizing a conventian- al rate of interest, pot exceeding ten per annum, has not met the promises of its advocates. It has failed ww bring money into the State. But it has oppressed our people, and has proved g curse, instead of ! a blessing. J anhesitatingly recommend its repeal.” : The above extract is taken from the message of Governor Brown to the Legs lature of Tennegaee. It will be seen that the Governor, protests in the strangest terms against the continuance of the Conventional or optional interest in that State. Many of the newspapers in this State that have argued against the paseage ofa law establishing a low rate of interest, instanced Tennessee, Georgia aud other States as being opposed to usury laws and in favor of free morey ; but they have never said, that after a fair trial the people of those States have grown tired of the experiment and are now making a desperate effort to restore the old Usury laws. We know that the people are try-~ ing to re-establish the old system of law interest in Georgia, and fram the above, it will be seen Low the thing is in ‘Ten- nessee. The people of North Carelina want a low rate of interest ; but tbe eapi- lista are endeavoring to prevent them from having it. What will the Logisla- ture do ? ~<a CONGRESS. There was a forty-six and a half bour session in the lower House of Oongress last Friday and Saturday, brought about by the Rads striving to force a change in the rules of the House, so as to effect the passage of the Civil Rights bill. ‘The Democrata fought the Rads with all the means in their power, but itis not possible that they can succced in staving off much longer the evil day, av the Radical m jor- ity in the House is yet two thirds. Bat the passage of the Civil Rights bill ie not the real object these desperate men have in view. They have a thousand other echemes of diaboliem and iufaiay they de.ire to afftict the country with before they pass out of power. The N. Y. Sun referring to the matter says ; Ostensibly, the object of the recent deadtock in the House of Representatives was to clear the way for the passage of the Civil Rights bill, but really the intention was to open the door for the great schemes and jobs which have no chanee of being passed unless that obstacle shall be removed, Gen Butler, who led the movement, carcs no more fur the bill which was made the pretext for this waste of time than he does for the Koran. If there had been the least heart in this pars ticular measure, the Republicans would never have acjourned last June without compeliing a vote on the bill which Mr Frelinghuysen had carried through the Senate. hey had then, as they have now, more than atwo-thirds ms jority over Democrats and Liberals combined ; but the President threatened a veto, and fihey surrendered without a show of resistance Although the leaders have been able to con- trol the cancus, which at no one of many meet- ings has ever reached half the party strength, they were powerless to carry its decrees in the House by the open defection of a small body of the ablest Republicans. ‘Two motives impelled Butler in the late contest, one being to punish the refractory members fur disobedience, and the,other to force them into line by this dis- cipline, so as to pass a new rule by which the end may be attained that was scught by the caucus plan. The present rule under which the House | maintained a cogtinuous session of forty-six | hours has been in operation for nearly half a century It was designed for the protection of the minority against the possible oppression of a majority, and never has resulted in mischief. To change this rulesuddenly, and fora partisan object only, supposing it to be practicable, is to set a bad precedent, especially as the Republi- cans are to pass into aminority in the next House. But itis made doubly worse when the design is understood. Enforcement acts of the most aggravating kind, by which it is sup- posed the Southern votemay be forcibly cap- tured, are already prepared and in charge of the worst faction inthe House, Jt js proposed to drive them thraugh by the previous question and to refuse all discussion. The gates beingthus opened, all the venal projects, claims, jobs, and raids on the Treasury will combine and strike down every safeguard which now arrests their progress. The lobby for the pacific railroads, North and South, is said to number more than a hundred alrcady, and some of the most conspicuous beneficiaries of the Pacific Mail subsidy are notorivusly en- listed right before the eyes of a virtuous inves- tigating committee. These plans have lang been matured, and purposely delayed until now. Thecivil Rights bill is a mere cover for a vast spoliation, to be effected if possible by a revolution in the rules of the House.

Aware of thie fact, the vender- of pseudo bitters, “entirely free from alcohol,” have raised s false cry against tonic preparations containing spirits, and no doubt have frightened a few sick folk jnto purchasing the fermented rubbish which they sell, and which is infinitely more injurir ons than the vilest drams drupk at tavern bars. But already a tremendous reaction has set in against these abominable nostrums, which, being devoid of the alcoholic basis which alone prevents liquid botanic prepara- tions from turning sour, decompose almost as soon as made. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters has jived and will live down multitudes of such imposters. A regular recurrence of the demand for the. great alterative invigorant from those who have always been jts patrons, shows that they have nat swerved in their time-honored allegiance to America’s most popular remedy ; and a constant influx of new ordera demonstrates how little jmpres- sion, after all, the bilatant denunciations of the mock bitters men have made upon the general public, So lung as Hostetter’s Bitters continue to cure and. prevent intermittent and remittent fever, dispepsia, constipation, kidney disease, and the numerous other ail- ments ta which they are adapted, they will continue to dominate the factious oppo- sition of humbugs, and that will be just as long as they are Manufnctured and sold’ Be it known ‘unto_aH bogas nostrum venders, of every degree of audacity and knavery, that they can never hope to puff themselves into public favcr at the expense of Hostetter’s Bitters, the reputation of which is founded, as t were, upon a rock.

Tickets can be had for the round trip for cue fare, from all the Railroad Agents. Tobacco.—We anderstand that Dr. Chann, of this county, sold a few days ago hia entire crop of tobaeco at 25cts. per pound all round. This shows what farmers can do in this section. The best Judges have pronounced the lands of Row- ao and sysroundjug counties superior to all others for the cultivation of tobacco. Phe §nest grades ean be raised here. Is it not strange more attention is not given to the prodaction of this weed. We also learn that Dr. Chunn_ has about 25 bushels of number one tobacco beed to dispose of. New Ads.—Attention is called to the advertisement of Mr. Theo. F. Klattz to be found in another colama.

Viands both substantial and faney were profusely+ scattered around, and every one seemed toenjoy the repast. To Col. Brown, Proprietor, and his excellent lady, of course, all the praise is due for the good supper aud superb arrangemente, but we cannot but add one word in favor of Sam Johnson, the head waiter of the National, who is probably the best man in his line south of Mason’s and Dixie’s line. Note withstanding the large number of guests present, Sam’s abiquity was not only noticeable, but attracted the admiration of every one —Raleigh News. Col. Brown, of the National Hotel, Raleigh, is undoubtedly one of the most enterprising Hotel conductors in the whole country. He spares no means or paine to keep abrest with the times and to make his guests comfortable. One of the best evidences of his popularity is the fact that persons who once stop with him rarely fail to bunt him should they pass that way again. Persons visiting Raleigh from the Western part of the State nearly all stop at the National. Why 1! simple because they know Col. Brown, and know that he keeps a first class Hotel. The lady boarders at the Arlington Ho- tel, Washington, got into the bed in whieh Kalakaua slept, that they might say they had lain “a King’s bed.” No Southern lady was concerned in this. es , \ morbing last the mangled and mutilated rémains of a negro boy were found seat» tered along the track of’ the N. ©.

Who will be first to introduce a bill looking to the suppression of thie disgraceful neu- sance at our State Capitol }— Qbserver.

Brovson Alcott was once ex- ing bis theory of the sin of eating flesh, and said, ‘A man who eats pork becomes a little swinish, does he not? and if he eats matton he is incjinsd to be sheepish.” ‘Perhaps so,” replied Dr. James Walker, ‘but I have noticed that men who live on vegetables areapt to be gather amall potatoes,” The Wilmington Star telly a painful about the death of Mrs. slackman, of that place. She was standing before the fire on Tuesday morning, when a gudden scream from one of her children gansed her to turn. As she did so her dress eaught a fire, and before aid arrived, all her clothing bad burned off. She Jinger- ed in great agony for about eight hours, and then expired. The Massachusetts Legislature might bave sent Charles Francis Adains, or Gov- eroor Gaston, or Judge Abbott, or John Quincey Adams tothe Senate, but perferred to send the exposed Credit Mobilier herg. the weather-cock Dawes. Truly, this is an era for pigmies to perch on Alps. It is some comfort to know, however. that Dawes is —or was opposed—to the nse of the bayonet jn Louisiana, Petersburg Index and Appeal. The Washington Star mentions it as a eurious and suggestive fact ‘that the next eee will contain on its roll a greater number of Confederate than Union offix cers.” We are glad to kuow that the people of the South are giving recognition to the merits of her soldier sons. The addition will add greatly to the konor, dignity and parity of that body.— News. © A writer from Berlin thus describes a German military bow: “Imagine an oak six feet in height, with a hinge in the middle, draw up to perpendicular, and, with a quick movement, snap the hinge eo that the upper part suddenly _, Springs forward and back again, and you will have some idea of the gracefulness of the exeented movement, and of the shock one gets when being introduced to a Ger- map military “swel].”’ The election, without opposition, of the Hon. B. G. Caulfield, Democrat, to Con- oe from one of the Chicago districts, to Ll the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Rice, Republican, has already been announced. ‘Pwo yeura ago the Repub» lieans carried thia district by 5.535. The district contains the Re ler! officers, new ‘posteoffice, with eeveral hundred work~ men, and the residences uf all the promi- nent Repgbjicans, from Senator Logan down. Suits For Damages AGainst Fep- FRAL GENERALS.—New Orleans, January Wai N. Vaughan, through his attorney, adge John A.

Interrogations of fact ate propuunded to defendauts. ANOTHER QuTRAGE Reportep.— The New York Commercial Advertiser records the following outrage : “Dar’s de man, Mister Speaker—dar's de man wot done it,” shouted a colored member, rising suddenly from his seat in the Arkansas Legislature, with ‘one hand pointing toa white man in the gallery, ang@-with.the other rubbing the summit of big {craniam. ‘Dat ar cussed white man jes done spit down on de top of my "Jt is suggested that Sheridan forthwith 'e@isperse the Legislature at the point of the bayonet, an «Dear FatHer:—My Immanuel ap- peared to me to-day.

A Sap FAMILY BEREAVEMENT. —On Monday night, little ‘Tommie, son of Mr. J.T, A. and Mrs. Mary Jane Davia, of this city, died of diphtheria, as was an~ nounced in yesterday's paper. On Wed- nesday night, another child the only re- waining one, a little girl about six years old, died of the same fatal disease.--Char- lotte Observer, BR. T. Gray, Associate editor of the Christian Advocate, was married in Fay- etieville on Wednesday evening last to the beantiful and accomplished Mias Caro Lilly, of that city. While the Legislature of North Guroli- na is voting to take from our State Agri-~ cultural Society the pittance of $1,500, donated by the State for expenditure in premiums only, ihe Legislature of Virgin~ ia gives favorable consideration to a_ bill to exempt the Agricultural Society of that State from all taxation; and haa before it a bill appropriating $3,000 for the estab- lishment of a labratory. When will North Carolina cease to be the Rip Van Winkle of the States of the Union ? Baptist Sratisrics.— The past year has been one of great denominational growth with the Baptists of the United States. In the past year they have guin- ed 54 associations, 990 churches, 756 or- dained ministers, 127,632 members, mak. ing the present grand totals 943 associa. tions, 21,510 charches, 13,154 ordained ministers and 1,764,17{ church members, of whom 802,466 were baptized during the past year. They have about 8,000 more churches than they have ministers. ‘The churches during the past year have increased faster than the uumber of ministers. Tue Warrucic or Time.— The New York Sun suggests a possibility that would be a curious instance of one of those revenges the whirligig of time often brings about: People generally will rejoice at Mr. Johnson's election, becaase they believe he is honeet and fearless, and will perform useful service in clearing out the corrups fions and usarpations which Grantism has brought upon the country. He is not a wise man; he is not a great man; bat he has proven himsclf superior to those who lead the present servile majority of the Senate. And as Grant’s civil career was introduced by the impeachment and trial of Mr. Johnson, it would be a curious il- lustration of poetic justice if, as a Sena- tor, he should be called upon to take part in the impeachment trial of President Grant.

A REPRESENTATIVE AND CHAMPION OF AMERICAN-ART TASTE! Prospectus for 1875—Eighth Year THE ALDINE, THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA, Issued Monthly. “A Magn ficent Cunce; tion Wonderfully carried cut.’ The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of our great artists, has always been recognized, and many attemps have been made to meet the want. The successive failures which soinvairably followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of the people of America to the claims of high art. So soon as a proper appreciation of the want and anability to meet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artistic and commer- cial triumph--THE ALDINE. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it is bound up at the close ofthe year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of asimilar class, TUE ALDINE is 6 unique and original conception—alone and un- approached—absolntely without competition in price or character, ‘The possessor of a complete volume can not duplicate the qnantiiy ot fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost; anil then, there is the chromo, besides. The national feature of HE ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense. ‘True art is cosmo- politan, While 7 ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus, while placing before the patrons of THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the productiops of the most noted American artists, attention will al- ways be given to specimens from foreign mas- ters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with THE ALDINE, is an important feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersior of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjecie, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the artist too closely to a single style of subject. The literature of TH: ALDINE is alight and graceful accompani- ment, worthy of the artistic features, with only sucli technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular interest, of the work. PREMIUM FOR 1875. Every subscriber for 1875 will receivea beau tiful portrait, in oi] colors, of the same noble dog whose picture in a former issue aitracted so much attention. “RYan's Unselfish Friend” will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves such a dog, and the portrait is executed so true to the Jife, that it reems the veritable presence of the animalitself. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Brooklyn) barks at it! Al- though so natural, no one who sees this preminm chromo will haye the slightest fear of being bitten. : Besides the chromo, every advance subscriber to THE ALDINE for 1875 is constituted a member, and entitled to all the privileges of THH ALDINH ART UNION, The Union owns the originals of all THE ALDINE pictures, which, with other aintings and engravings, are to be distributed among the members. To every series of 5,000 subscri- bers, 100 different pieces, valued at over $2,500 are distributed as soon as the series is full, and the awards of each series as made, are to be pub- lished in the next succeeding issue of TILE A L- DINE. This feature only applies to subseri- bers who pay for one year in advance. Full particulars in circular sent on application en- closing a stamp. TERMS. One Subscription, entitling to THE ALDINE one year, the Chromo and the Art union, $6.00 per annum, in advance. (No charge for postage.) Specimen Copies of THE ALDINE, 50 Cenis.

The qnestion is, was this a vacancy which the Governor had the power to fill ? One of these conclusions must be adop- ted : 1st. On the refusal of Mr. Starbuck to accept, the General Assembly had power to order a special election for a Judge of that District. In the absence of a grant of this power to the General Assembly by the Constitutional, this conclusion must be rejected. 2nd. ‘This is casus omissus in the Con- stitution, and that instrument is so defec- tiveas to have provided no way to fill the office, so that the administration of the law in a judicial district must stop, should it 80 happen that the person elected Judge declines to accept or dies before he qualis fies and takes out his commission, ‘This conclusion must be rejected. 3rd. We adopt the conclusion that al- though Starbuck declined to accept, and did not qualify and take his commission, a vacancy did occur in the office ; by an unexpected event, there was no one to fill the office ; thus, for all practical pur- poses, the office was vacant, and it can wake no difference whether Mr, Starbuck declined before, or the moment after he qualified, or whether he was eligible to the office for taking -it in either of the three ways, there was the same mischief. No one to administer the law in that judi- cial district, and to avoid this detriment to the public welfare, the power to fill vacancies is conferred upon the Governor, 2. ‘The act of 1873-74, chapter 118, directs an election for jndge in the 8th judicial district on the Lst ‘Thursday in August 1874, which was a regolar elec~ tion day for members of Congress, members of the General Assembly, and some other State officers, and was alana regular election day for the judges of the Superior Court beiouging to the short term. Under this statute Mr. Wilson waa elected by a vote of the people judge of the 8th judicial district. He qualified, and in spite of the protestation of the re- lator, took possesxion of the office. The question is, had the General Azsembly power to order election? ‘his depends upon the construction of act 4, sec. 31: “All vacancies occurring in the offices pro- vided for by this article shall be filled by the appointment of the Governor, unless otherwise provided for, and the appointces shall hold their places uutil the next regu- lar election.”’ It is settled that the words “otherwise provided for’’ mean otherwise provided tor by the constitution. Clark vs. Stanly, 66 N. C., 59 People vs. Bledeoe, 68 N. C., 457. The question now is, what is the mean- ing of the words, ‘until the next regular election?” “Maken by themselves, they are too indefinite to have any particular meaning ; as they cannot stand alone, it is the province of the courts to find, by the rules of construction, other words to support them—that is, to fiud a definite meaning. 1. It is suggested, the addition of the words, ‘for members of the General As- sembly,’’ would fix a definite meaning. ‘That is true, but what warrant is there for adding these words? We know of no rule of construction to justify it; there is no association of ideas by which the election of judicial officers is connected with the election of members of the Gen- eral Assembly ; there is as much, if not more, reason for making the sentence read, “until the next regular election tor The following opinion in the case of Judge.” It would seem this was the construction adopted by the General Assembly in res~ pect to Justices of Supreme Court, from the omission to provide for the election of two Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, to take the place of two who now hold the office under the appointment of the Governor, to fill vacancies, We think this constraction the true one, in respect to Justices of the Supreme Coart, Clerks of the Superior Courts and Solicitors, because elections are to be held at one time for all of the Justices of the Supreme Court, and eo as to the Clerks and Solicitors respectively. But, in re- gard to the election of Judges of the Su-~ perior Courts, this $s not the case. There is another section of Article IV which varies the question and calls for a change in the words, which it is suggested should be added section 26: “The Judges of the Superior Courts elected at the first. election, under this constitution, shall afs ter their election, under the superinten- dance of the Justices of the Snpreme Court, be divided by lot into two equal classes, one of which shall hold office for four years and the other for eight years-” Here is an express provision by which the Judges of the Superior Courts are di- vided into two equal classes, one class to be clected every four years. Whether this provision will effeet any important purpose, it is not for us to say, it is so ordained ; and it is the duty of the Courts to give effect to it, and to see that it is not departed from or evaded. No con- struction of the constitution can be sound which defeats an express provision of that instrument. Such is the effect of the construction contended for. We have eight of the Judges instead of six elected at one time and may have had nine or ten or the whole twelve according: to the result of accidents. To preserve these two equal classes and to have an election for six of the Judges of the Superior Court, held every four years, it is necessary to modify the additional words suggested, so as to make the sentence read, “until the next regular election for Judges of the class in which a vacancy has occurred. This construction, which we adopt in reference to all judicial officers, may be expressed by the use of a very short slipsis, 80 as to make the section read : “The opposites shall hold their places un- til the next reguiar election fur the office in which a vacancy has eccurred.”’ This conclusion makes everything fit and there is no “jar” or dislocation of any part of the instrement. Tu one case the office which had become vacant, belongs to the second class, to wit: that of the Judges to whom was allotted a full term; it followe, that the regular clection for the office is not to be held until 1878, at which time the terms of the Judges of the second class expires ; that the act of the Geueral Assembly, under the Constitution, which attempts to hasten the time for the election of a Judge of the 8th District, viclates the Constitus tion, It was urged on the argument, ‘by this construction the sppaintee of the Gover- ner may hold office, as in this instance, for many years, whereas the general poli- cy of the Constitution is to have frequent elections.” It ia “not ours” to conjecture the considerations which caused a provis- ion by which the appointee to fill the office of Judge in case of a vacancy holds until the next regular election for the office, or for the want of a provision by which a vacancy in the office of a Judge of the Superior Court can be filled by an election of the people. Suffice it, there is no such provision. The term of office for a Judge elected by the people is fixed at eight years, and there is no provision for filling a vacancy by an election. As another objection to this construction, it was urged, other parts of the Constitution, to wit: sec. 30, 34 of the same article IV, ‘judicial departments” in providing for filling vacancies use the words “for the unexpired term,” and if the words, “until the next regular election” are to have the same meaning, why were not the same words used ? ‘The objection is plausible, but the res Justices of the Peace,” that being a judis cial officer. It is unnecessary to say more upon this , view of the question. Indeed, after the | consideration of the matter which the ap- pointment of Judge Cloud gave rise to in connection with the election for mems | bers of the General Assembly in 1872, the position has, by gencral cousent, been abandoned as untenable—was not pressed in the argument before this Court. 2. It is suggested—the addition of the words, “for Judges of the Superior Courts” will fix a defiinte meaning. ‘I'his -eems | to have been the construction adopted by | the General Assembly in the act above | referred to. It is obvious, that the addi- tion of those words so as to make the sentence read, “until the next regular election for Judges of the Superior Courts” does vot meet the whole question; for, the section under consideration embraces , all vacancies in the judicial department, except those otherwise provided for by the Constitution, and includes the Justices of the Supreme Court, Clerks of the Su- perior Courts and Solicitors, as well as the Judges of the Superior Courts ; so, to make tbe sentence full, it must be made to read, until the next regular elvetion for Justices of the Supreme Court, in respect to vacaucieg occurring in the office of the Justice or of any ove of the Associate Jus- tices ; for Clerks of the Superior Courts, in respect to vacancies occurring in the | office of the Justice or of any one of the Associate Justice; for Clerks of the Su- perior Courts, in respect to vacancies ocarring in the office of » Superior Court Clerk, and for Solicitors, in respect to Vacuncies occurring in respeet to the office of a Solicitor, and for Judges of the Superior Courts in respect to vacancies vecurriug in the office of a Superior Court | case of a vancancy existing forany cause,”’ ‘the time that the judges of the other class ‘this judge elected out of his class hold ing a selection of candidates, but the elec- tion must be made, or the district will ply is: the Constitution cannot be held up as a model of precision in language, and the duty of the Court is to declare the meaning, whether it be expressed in one set of words or in otber equivalent worda—for illustration, section 30, “in &c. ; section 34% “when the office shall become vacant ;” here the same meaning igs expressed iu different words, so the use of diffsrent equivalent words does not include the construction that the same meaning was intended. But allowing that the change of words ig an objection to the constitation adopted, it is weighed down by the fact that any other constitution would nullify and put at naught the provision by which the judges of the Superior Courts are divided into two elasses, and by the further fact that should the judge of a district having at the outset the long term be elected at are elected, the question will arise, docs for eight years, or only for the unexpired part of the term? If the former, the classification is entirely destroyed ; if the latter, the classification is restored in that instance, but is open to other digtar- bancex, occurring by vacancies, and we have the anomily of a judge elected by the people to fill a vacancy for four years or other less time, which is in conflict with the provision that the term of office shall be eight years. There is this furth- er objection; the election of a judge out vt his class may come on unexpectedly, as if a judge out of the clasa dies or re- eigas, say twenty days before the regalar election for judges of the other class, there will be no reasonable time for mak» have no judge. The fact tingency is not provided not the intention to have the people to fill a vacama judge.

First, then, I assign as one of the reas sons of our contin werty aud want of progrese the fact, that we do not pros duce enough of what we eat or wear, and bay to much on credit. To present an elaborate argument in defiayce of this position would require a volame. One or two practical facts will suffie to prove my assertion true, and the answer that every farmer will give when applying the idea to his own case will coroborate these In 1859, the South produced over five million bales of cotton, of four bundred pounds each, which sold at average of eleven cents per pound, realizigg less than $250,000,000. In 1869, the cotton cropof the South was less than three and a half millions of bales, four hundred pourtts each, and sold for an average of twenty-two cents per pound, realizing over $300,000,000. The cotton crop of 1873 reached cons siderably beyond four million of bales, and sold for less than $275,000,000. And this has been the history of our crops annually in the past ; have we any reason to anticipate that sitailar effects will not follow the same course in the fatare ? Then if the all cotton policy, or a large cotton crop has actually tended to impoverish us as u people, who will assert that the same policy will not have similar effect upon individuala ? On paper it can be easily proven, that cotton, asa crop, will pay better than any or all other products. But shese figares are far more unreliable than the oft- abused labor of the country. There is no question but that individaal farmers, having lands peculiarly adapted to the growth of cotton, can net more mone growing cotton and buying their peal! stuffs and provender than by cultivating a diversity of crops. But it is an egregious error to think, that because A, B, or O, can do so, therefore every Southern far- mer can pursue the same course, anticipa- ting the same result. Through a series of years, regardless of the price of cotton, (I reiterate here what I have often asserted before in these pagez), on ninety-nine out of every bun- dred Southern farms, it is cheaper to grow oats for plough animals than to haul corn from the nearest depot, because oats will follow cotton with no cost bat the secd and harvesting, both of which can be paid for every winter in the mutton that can be fatted on the growing crops ; it is cheaper to raise all the pork the farmer's family can consume anuually than to buy bacon at ten cents per pound; it ig cheaper to grow a pound of wool, up to a certain number of pounds, than the same number of pounds of cotton; and itis cheaper to grow anything that can possibly be grown upon the farm than to buy it ona credit. lew farmers understand properly what is meant by “buying on a eredit.””’ They know they get the article and pay more for itthan if they paidthe cash, but they never once calculate the premium of per centage they are payiug for thia privilege of getting time or “credit.” Let me illustrate. Tbe average farmer may raise meat enough to do him till the 1st April. By that time he has to bay, but having no cash, theugh good credit, he “goes to the store” and buys bacon at 15 cents per pound, payable 1st November tollow- ing. He learns the cash price is 124 eents per pound, but necessity compels jhim to buy onacredit. Hethus pays 24 cents per pound for the privilege of buying on a credit, or one-sixth the price to be paid which is simply 16% per cent. per annum forthe use of money. But he buys in April, and has to pay let November, only eight months’ credit, and thus pays twenty- five per cent. per annum for the use of money. What farmer can afford to do this and live? What is applicable to bacon is equally soto corn, hay, flour, implements, mules,and every article the farmer buys ona credit. It is estimated that the average increase of the agricultural wealth of the United States is about four per cent. per annum. The average increase of agricultural wealth in any Southern State, annually, since the war has not been one per cent. Indeed, some of the States have travelled the other road, and are now lost in the wilderness of debt; and there is no more potent caase for this condition of things than that of buying on a credit the ne- cessaries of life to enable them to grow cotton, and this, too, very frequently ata coat that exceeds ita market valuc. There is an infatuation about this cultivation of cotton that amounts to an hallucination. Can there be nothing invented to so far dispel it as to induce the Southern farmer to live more within himself and less at the mercy of the Shylocks of the land ? Cot. D.

Hill, in an address delivered before a farmers’ meeting at Morrisville, her upon Cotswold sheep and their value the Cotswold are just the kind to im~ prove springy, swaley pastures, They will thrive on rank, coarse feed bringing in the white clover, and doubling its value in a short time. It is generally admitted that sheep are the best stock that can be kept for the pasture; but knowing that it was generally considered that they were equal to cows tokeepup the mowing, I determined to satisfy myself which was the best, and some ten years since com- inenced feeding the hay on a small farm exclasively to sheep. Thie lot was in fair condition, yielding about one ton per acre. Llet the sheep haye the stable, spread the manure on the grass, going over one- half of it each time. The grase continued to inerease until it yiclded not less than ten tons to the acre. The manure from this yield gave ita heavy dressing. For a year or two the grass has not been as heavy; the ground appears to be hart with manure. Last spring I plowed a part of it to re-seed, and sowed it with wheat. It grew very rank, but the seed grew ranker, such weeds as_ grow on very rich ground. This land has been dressed with clean manure from the stable, and the grass has been free from weeds. There has been no mauure pat on previous to plowing.— That such weeds should grow on a sward well turned, shows the ground to be very rich. The demand for good matton is con- stantly increasing, and we think the mat- ton breeds will pay the best when thy are kept in small flocks, and given that special attention required to produce the best animals. It is well known to sheep grazers that Merinoes do not thrive on Jow, wet past- ures, but prefer high and dry hills, so those contemplating sheep husbandry would do well to take into consideration the character of their soil, and select such breeds as are best adapted to it. -—_-___—__— Hiding the Villanies of Grant- ism. From the Journal of Commerce. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Thougb the President last year intimated threats of a veto, it is now understood that he is will- ing to sign the Civil Rights bill, the en- forcement of which can be so shaped as to provoke resistance. The reasons of the desire for a war may perhaps be found in the facts hidden by the suppression of the Government cash accounts for years, and in the corruptions believed to exist in the Navy Department and other exe- cutive offices. ‘he publication of the ac- counts and av unspairing investigation of the practices of those departments would (it is believed) astound and horrify the public. The civil rights struggle may be partly intended to defeat investigation of the Navy Department and of the failure of the trial of the safe burglary conspiras tors ; also, to postpone and prevent action by the Banking and Currency Committee against the Treasury Prioting Bureau, and leave the ‘I'reasury, after the adjourn- ment of Congress, with power to cancel the agreement with the bank note com- panies and take complete coutrol of the manofacture of the currency, including the power of overissue, the existence of which was lately indicated. Burning the Evidences of Grant- ism. From the Journal of Commerce WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The Capital the anti-Administration paper here, con- firms my previous statements as to the origin of is Navy Department fires. It says the Treasury and nearly all other records will be barnt or destroyed before the next House can investigate. It also says when the Interior Department is investigated Secretary Delauo will have to fly the country. An effort is to be made to account for the fires by charging a messenger with incendiary monomania, aud sending him to the lunatic asylum. The fifth fire Satarday morning appears to have broken out in the document room of the Engineering Bureau. Money is broadly stated to have beeu paid in large amounte from this bureau without aathor- ity of law, hence the desire for couceal- ment. Important records are raid to have dis- appeared from the ‘I'reasury and War Department also. At the close of the war $850,000,000 worth of war material res mained on hand. Much of this (it is charged) has since beeu sold, and the money spent without any appropriation, such expenditures constituting penal of- fences. At the same time tnat a call was made for detailed idformation of a like kind from the Navy Department, a call was made by Congress fur a detailed ac- count of the sales and expenditures in re- gard to this war material. ‘I'he depart- ment asked au appropriation of about half a millon for clerk hire to make up the accounts ; whereat the partisan majority smothered this investigation too, ou the score of economy.

An Arkansas correspondent of the Scieutific American sage: ‘‘I came here 30 years since, and began clearing land aud building bouses with hewn logs na boards split from the trees. After years’ residence I noticed that rey often pieces of the same kind of timber decayed more quickly than other; and after mach thought and observation I came to the conclusion that timber felled when the leaf first commenced to grow rotted the sap off very quickly, but the heart re mained sound; that timber felled after the fall of the leaf rotted in the heart, even when apparently sound on the oute side. When firewood cut in the winter was put on the fire the sap came out of the heart, but when cat in the sammer the sap came out of the sap wood, and next the bark. I notice also that all our lasting wood bas bat little sap at any time in the heart—such as cedar, mulbers ry, sassafras, and cypress. Acy post cut in the summer of 1838 is still sound, although exposed to all weathers, while one of the same kind of timber, eut in the winter of 1856, and painted, bes rotted in the heart. I saw omer a piece of gum plank, which I sawed ia the summer of 1856, that has lain ever since, and is perfectly sound; while oak timber that was felled in the winter {bee fore is now entirely rotten. My conelas sion then ia: Cut timber after full leaf, say in July and August, to get the most last from it. Tbe sap goes iuto the heart of the tree after leaf-fall aud causes decay. Tue Srony or 4 Lirs.—One of the representative men of St. Louis was Thos. Pratt, who was president of a gas compa- ny, a member and susporter of a Baptist Church, and always foremost in publie movements. He had lived in that city thirty years, aud had a wife and children who were leaders in society. About a month ago he was killed by an explosion in the gas works which he managed, and the general regret found expression in the usual way. His fortane reached half a million dollare, and the squabble for it has revealed astounding thinge. The lauded citizen was a bigamist. In 1821 he mare ried in England, and by his first wife had several childreu.

Eis crime was exposed three years afterward,.and he ran away, thia time going to St. Louis, where he acquired character and fortane.

Several years ago he confessed his history to some of the officers of hia chureh, and they, deeming the evil of a religions scandal should be averted anyhow, advis- ed him to keep his secret close.

Such a body woald not be a popular assemblage in the sense conveyed by the idea of a Conven- tion of the people; it wcnld not be just to theathe counties, as they would not be represented separately, bnt in a body or by districts; and if the Legislature has the right to make such a change, why not go on and confine the representation to a member from each Congressional dis- trict, or say that the Convention shall be composed of but two members, the same the State has in the U. S. Senate? Sueh a change was never contempleted by the present or former conatitation, and is at war with the fundamental principles of representative government. —— Ke The castigation that Mr. Brown the other day gave Beast Butler, the pro- totype of the Infernal, will be enjoyed andapplanded by every true man and wothan io the land.

It}bas. been charged that the whole Con gressional delegation from thia State form- rally +d@dvised the Exeeutive Committee against a Convention, This ia not true. We have seen the telegram in which this advice ie said to be, and we know that theré'is no sach counsel given in it. But suppose they had done so, should they be obeyed? Are they our masters? Must we go to Washington to cousalt our Con. gregsmen, and Grant, and Mars Butler, whenever we think it necessary tu reform ouréinternal affairs? What do these men know about oar wants more than our own people ?—more than such men as Gev, Graham, the Hons. Burton Craige, Gaith- er, Howard, Smith, George Davis, Robt. Strfnge, W. L. Steel, Col. Johnson, and hundreds and thousanda of the purest and best:men in the State, who have studied andsdooked iuto the matter, and who are not @ffice holders or office seekers? We earé tot if all the Democrats from all the Stales are opposed to this measure, it is no reason why we should hesitate, if we really think we need such reforms asa Convention will give us; and all admit that“we need them. It isan insult to the people to tell them that members of Cons grese advise against what they (the peo- ple}d&know and declare to be necessary for theirwellbeing. The idea of going to Washisgion to consult about sueh things ! it is contemptible. Ifthe people do no. regard such officionsness as an insult to thei manhood and intelligence, then we have, indeed, fallen apon evil times.

ENCOURAGING OUR ENE- MIES. We donot profess to be wiser nor braver than others, but we believe we are in a great measure indebted to thesycophancy, timidity, and eerviility of our so-called leaders, for mach of the infamous legisla~ tion that has been hurled at the South since the termination of the abolition war of plunder and hate. Many of these men to whom the masses of the people have looked for coungel and guidance, have shown such a remarkable capacity for dirteeating, boot-licking and degrading submission, as to euccurage such political bullies as Thad Stevene and Beast Butler to invent other and more exacting acts of oppression, simply because they had be- come convinced that there was no man- hood among us to so much as protest against the most odious and humiliating measoies that their devilish ingenuity might devise. Instead of refusing to vicld anything more than a forced acqui- eececne to the de#potic and degrading acts of our relentless and villianous foes, we have rather courted insults, wrongs and humility by the alactrity with which we have embraced whatever has been imposs ed. In some instances we have anticipa- ted their vile programme by asking that we might eharethe honor of forging the ehains with which to degrade southern inanhood. In the most obsequious manner we have hastened to bring ourselves into snbjec- tion to these illegal measures of violence and turpitude. Some-of our public epeak- ers and newspaper editors have not lack- ed for honeyed words to cover up and condone the crimes of our vindictive northern enemies. We have thus ens eoaraged them in their madness ard tyranny, lowered ourselves in our own estimation, loat the respect of the better portion of the northern people, and indeed of the beet portion of the civilized world. ee A DRAMATIC SCENE. If there was any thing needed to show the weakness of haman nature, and the toadyism incident to political matters, it was furnished in the dramatie, “exciting scenes” in the House of Rrepresentatives, at Raleigh, last monday. Mr. W. B Glenn, a Radical, of Yadkin, rose in hia seat and offered a resolution against the Civil Rights bill, and thereupon proceeded to address the House in an ‘‘able” and effecting manner. He don’t like the Civil Rights bill, and this is his exense for re- nouncing his allegianee, at this late day, to that most brutal, venal and infamous or- ganization that God Almighty ever per- mitted to have an existence upon the earth, the Radical party. Mr, Glenn was followed by one Major Foote, a Radical from Wilkes, and well U. S. Marshal of the straightest sect. He too made a speech which was “able and well” timed. Tis objection to the Radical party is also the Civil Rights bill, which has always been an inseparable feature of that organization. Weare told that the excitement, the shaking of bands, and general’ rejoicing, on the Conservative side of course, which followed the speeches and apostacy of these men from their party, beggars de- scription—and we are glad—for we think, there was too much ado about nothing. Theee gentleman profess to leave their the other—"“be quiet !—Say nothing to” known in this section as a former Deputy : ine years; and those geutlgmen bavewidedabetted it, thus far, by acting with and deteuding the Radical party Their State Executive committee, but a few short weeks. agé,- helped this vile measore by passing resolutions in a formal manner, endorsing all the tyrannieal.and_ unconstitutional acts of the party and of Grant. The fact is the Radical party is gov ing down—down, dowu, beneath the wighty weight of ite own rotten nes, aud it will soon-be. consigned” to merited in~ famy by an iadignaut and long saff-ring | people, and we may expect, therefore, to sve it deserted by those whose fostering care was faithful to its death, for it is not { now profiable to take care of its corpse or keep vigil over its grave. = . Now, as a sequel to, the dramatic scenes of the House referred to above, we re- spectiully suggest, since our legislators can not agree upon the vital importance of a Convention, that they proceed to hold a caucus, “‘iwo-thirda concurring,” and nomi nate Mr. Glenn, and Maj. Foote, as our canidates for governor aud Leat. Gover nor in 1876. It has been the policy of the Conservatives to take up and put for- ward cleven.th Lour converts, and those who have done the Jeast for the Conserva- tiye canse, and we therefure hope that our suggestion will meet a hearty respouse. ae CIVIL RIGHTS BiLL. That moat abominable of all the force measures yet devised by the encmies of the South, passed the lower House of Congress last Friday by a strict party vote. The Rads having changed the rules in the House to suit them, will have no difficully now in re-passing this bill shonld it be sent back from the Senate with amendments. If itdoes not now become a law, it will be because the malignant enemies of the South and the corrupt Radical lead- ersin Congress are too cowardly toassume the responsibility which such an act of villainy will impose. And here ia our main hope for its defeat. Should it be- come a law, it is not probable that we shall so easily get rid of it as some imagine. We may have a eufficient Oonservative majority to repeal it in a few years, but judging from the past, we cannot count with any certainty that our party will be aunit for repealing it, notwithstanding its odiousness. We fear there will be some who will say, “O we had better not undertake todo this thing lest we aronse afresh the northern people—-leat we bring down upon us worse measures, more reconstruction laws, Sheridan or Grant,” That there will be subservient tools and contemptible boot-licks who will use such arguments against interfering with it, we do not doubt. For example, who imagined two years ago that we would now have men among us claiming to be democrats opposing a Convention simply through fear of Grant and the Radical party 1 Who :magined two ycars ago thata Legislature claiming to have a two-thirds majority of Democrats would allow any obstacle to stand between them and constitutional reform 2? Why, svch a want of manhood, of independence, of firm- ness as has been exhibited in opposition to this Convention question, is utterly irreconcilable with the idea of freemen. Such conduct is worthy of slaves only, and tenda to degrade and humilate our peoplein theirown estimation. For very shame, for decency’s sake, let us have the courage to do what we believe to be right and necessary for our own well ucing and the good of our children. To come back to our subject, we can sec nothing but ruin for the colored peo- ple, in this bill, as well as trouble to the white vace. It will bring about an irre. pressible conflict between the white man and the negro, which will eventuate in the destruction of the latter, This bill pro- poses to do what can uot be done. ‘The laws of God can not be changed. The nature of man is equally immntable. ‘There is an instinct of superiority implanted in the heart of the white man that no legis- lation can crush. It will out-live and transcend all the efforts to supplant. it. It will grow and expaud by attrition. Force bills will nurizh aud eustain it, un- til dignity of race and supremacy of intel- lect shall triumph over all opposition. Men may be persuaded to do many things, but forced to do but few. They fall into many error3 and follies, and run into many extremes for the want of a motive to resist. So that if we are in danger, as some suppose, of becoming merged into the negro race, the effect of this bill will be likely to arouse and perpetuate sufficient opposition to save us. ‘The wickedness and enormity of the wrong intended to be inflicted upon the south by this vilest of all the infamous measures of a venal Radical Congress, are such as suggest but one remedy. Bat as there is no dieposition on the part of our people to resist vi ef armis, and no pros- pect of success were they in a condition to do so, they will submit, as to force, with that dignified and manly protest which becomes a brave and high-tone race. > _ > The Attorney General of the State has given an opinion to the Legislature that it would be unconstitutional to impose a special tax on dogs.

ALLEN BROWN. a A Triumph Over Humbug. It is not difficult to alarm the timjd, and invalids are proverbially so. Aware of thie fact, the vender of pseudo bitters, “entirely free from alcohol,” have raised a false cry againet tonic preparations containing spirits, and no doubt have frightened a few sick folk into purchasing the fermented rubbish, which they sel], and which is infinitely* more injuri- ous than the vilest drams drank at tavern bars. But already adremendous. reaction has set in against these abominable nostrums, which, being devoid of the alcoholic basis which alone prevents liquid botanic prepara- tions from turning sour, decompose almost as soon as made. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters has lived and will live down multitudes of such imposters. A regular recurrence of the demand for the great alterative invigorant froru those who have always been its patrons, shows that they have not swerved in their time-honored allegiance to America’s most popularremedy ; and a constant influx of new orders. demonstrates how little impres- sion, afterall, the bilatant denunciations of the mock bitters men have made upon the general public. So long as Hostetter’s Bitters continue to cure and prevent intermittent and remittent fever, dispepsia, cors.ipation, kidney disease, and the numerous other ail- ments to which they are adapted, they will continne to dominate the factions oppo- sition of humbugs, and that will be just as ‘long as they are manufactured and sold Be it known unio all bogus nostrum venders, of every degree of audacity and knavery, that they can never hope to puff themselves into public fiver at the expense of THostetter’s Bitters, the reputation of which is founded, as it were, upon a rock.

From the Honse proceedings of last There was a great excitement in the House to-day, arising from a speech of Brown, of Kentucky, on the civil rights ‘bill, in which he spoke of. Batler, of Massachusetts, in the following terms: “What should be said if the accusation of the Southern people should come from one who is outlawed in his own bome from reepectable society ; whose name is eyuonymons with falsehood; who is the champion, and has been on all occasions, of fraud; who is the apologist of thieves; who is such a prodigy of vice and mean- ness, that to describe him imagination would sicker and invective would exhaust itself. Tu Seotland, years ago. there was a man whose trade was murder, and he earned his liveliiood by selling the bodics of his victims for gold, he linked his name to his crime, and to-day throughs out the world it is kuown as Buark- ing. The Speaker—Does the Chair under- stand the gentleman to be referring in higdangnuage to a member of the House ? Mr. Brown—No sir, IT am describing au individual who isin my mind’s e7s. The Speaker—The Chair understood the gentleman to refer to a member of the House. Mr. Brown—No sir, I call no names. This man’s name was linked to his crime, and to-day throughout the world itis known as Barking. IfI was to desire to ex- press all that was pusilanimous in war, inhuman in peace, forbidden in morals and iufamous in politics, [ should call it Butlerizing. For this violation of parliamentary order, a resolation of ceusure was passed upon Brown after a very exciting debate, and was admiuistered by the Speaker, the civil rights bill then went over till to-morrow, House to meet at 10 o’clock. | We are gratified to see that there is at least one man in Congress, who has the nerve to denounce as they deserve the infamous defamers of the South. One reason why so many white’ people are starving in Northern cities for the want of employment is because the legislation of a miserable Radieal Cougress cripples and injures business ia the South, especially that of those who buy Northern products.

In 1826 he settled in Green~ ville, ‘l’ennessee, and worked at bia trade. He was elected Alderman in 1828, 1829 and 1830, Mayor 1831, 1832 and 1833, member of the Legislature 1834 and 1839, and Presidential clector in 1840.

There ia a prevalent idea that they will eadeavor to manipulate the next Presidential election, but how that is possible, with the next House Democratic, it is difticult to see. Batler will do his utmost for mischief. He has a short political life to lead, and will make it what he considers a merry one by smashing everything within his reach,— Balt. Gazette. Dramatic scene at the reading of a will. A rich dame who recently died at au ad- vanced age at lontaincbleau, left a will containing, among others, a bequest to ber physician of all the objects contained in an olden oak chest of her cabinet de toilette for ‘his enlightened care and the sage instructions” which had enabled her to live to such an advanced age. ‘Vhere was great commotion among the heirs when this clause in the will was read, aud greater curiosity to know what treasures had escaped them. The notary handed the key to the doctor, who ou opening the cheat found all the drags and potiona that he bad ordered for his patient during the past twenty years. Theodore Tilton continued hia evidence Weduesday in his euit against Henry Ward Beecher. He related conversatious had with Beecher at several interviews, during which he made it appear that Beecher’s guilt was an understood and admitted fact. Expressions of grief and misery fell from him (Beecher,) and ‘‘vears stood in his eyes.” The witness also weut into the matter of the publications by Mra. Woodhull, describing the effurts made to quiet her, and the numerous con. sultations held with that view. He also entered fully into the subject of his mem. bership of Plymouth Chureh, said that be had positively refused, at Beecher’s re. quest, to ask fora letter of dismiasal, but iad subsequently written to Pastor Halli- day dissolving his connection with the church.

Oue day he came home and told his wife that he was convinced he should die within forty-eight hours’ He saw the undertaker arranged for hia funeral, bonghit a handsome satin-lined coffin, and wrote out a list of pall-bearers. He selected a tombstone bearing a representation of a flower with a broken stem, and the legend, “Not lost, bat gone before ;" and, at the cemetery, he designated a spot, where his mother was laid, uuder the green trees, fora tomb—at the same time giving directions that violets should be planted above him in the early — spring. It was very melancholy. This occarred in the year 1844.

During the late severe frost there was great curiosity manifested to see whether he would preserve ia wear- ing the same costume, and he stood out manfully antil the other day, when he appeared with an enormous cloak and hood in addition to the dress he had so long worn, but was still true to his chosen color.

His ecceutricities are harmless, and main- ly consist in the firm belief that he has a personal and intimate acquaintance with the sun, who never fails to honor him by shining when he takes his promonade. His apartments, even including the ccil- ing and the floor, are gilt, and he fully believes that this was the work of his kind friend, who Las also endowed him with the power of s!opping a railway train at full speed. Oue of the most excited debates French Assembly las been on the ques- tion of forming I’rench regiments of six companies or of only four. It was a sub- ject about which military men might be supposed to be fully informed and ready iu utterance, yet an incident proved that “stage fright’ attacks even the boldest. The authoritative and brave General in the Saussier, after ascending the tribune, trembled like an aspen leaf, muttered a tew phrases, stuttered, grew pale and with- drew, the beads of perspiration rolling down the warror’s face. Myery one ap- plauded him and encouraged him; the President remarked with tact and courte- sy, that the rostrum had greater terrors for the General than his battle-ficlds. Imagine a soldier scared by 600 deputies ia civil costume—he who was known to ever feel most “at home’ amidst showers of balls and screaming shells. Next day the General attacked the tribane, and took it by assault, and his excellent speech helped to carry the proposed measure. A Half Breed Story. There has been a romantic suit in Kansas City for an estate of 8300,000 and it has ended, as it should have done, in the most romantic manner. Thirty years ago, Wil- liain Gillis was one of the pioueer capitalists of the West. At that time Lahurst, Chief of the Piou Kashou Iudians, had a daughter, lovely if dusky, and her naine was musical and soft as that of any Indian maid. Kah- kutequa wou the heart of William Gillis. who bought her froin her father for a bale of blankets, and lived with her.—They had one daughter, Naucy, oae of the prettiest of half-breeds, aud the belle of the trading post which has since become Kausas City. She grew up, and had two sons. Frank Bod aod Jim Charly. G. did oot treat his half- breed family kiudly, for when he died he willed his estate, consisting of handsome business bloeks, and at least one hotel, te his uiece, Mrs. Troost, reserving $125,000 for an orphen asylum. The half-breed eirs claimed the whole estate. and the oupty Court awarded it to then jointly. The administrators appealed to the Suprenie Court, and a day or su ago that tribunal alfirmed the decision of the lower court Thus the two orphans most interested— heirs of the woodland and stream—have be- come wealthy eapitalists. The imoral of this story is evident, aud those who inake & practice of buying up pretty Indian girls will do well to avoid willing thejr property away. It only gives trouble, and wastes the money in legal fees, besides nnaking the legatee mad without doiug bin or her any good. FURNITURE! J. A. CLODFELTER & CO.

Saissury, N. C., October 10th, 1874. Meesrs Meroney & Bro. ; Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the merite of the Guanahani Guano, I will state that [ have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in use in our country. In the month of February I bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn. On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, 1 picked 1} ounees the same day—showinggs difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the , number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land without the Guanahanj would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ; with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounds to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—showing a difference of over 600 per cent. . I haye mot had an opportunity to teat the Corn yet, but from general observation, I fee] war- ranted in making the statement that Guenahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. | On one acre of ground, asa test, I sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani broadcast, subsoiling at | the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstasces, hes average 700 of seed cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds Ek. A, PROPST. Virginia, ATI WILMINGTON, N. C. Jas. A.

Well, I acl howledge that it may sound weak and ‘MBeurd too, bat for all that allow me to des ribe a picture to you which I made in the one night not long since. It had Bani an uncom monly cold day. All the @™iy before it had been raining and freegingg ud the next morning when I looked off I stood for. some moments gazing in gent admiration upon the eold, beautiful s@¥ine spread out before me. It had cleargd off grandly, and the regal sun had burat forth in all of bis magnificent splendor. The distant fields lay in death-like repose ‘neath their winding sheet of ice, while the towering pines aud monarch like oaks bowed low their lofty heads beneath their cold weight of matchless beauty. As I regarded the lovely scene gleaming in the pure sun- light of heaven seeming to my enraptured vision to reflect a thoueand different bues, I stood lost in speechless admiration. But to return to my sabject it was on the night fullowing this day that I sat alone in my room, my head bowed upon my hand, and my eyes fixed intently upon the blazing fire that leaped merrily up the chimney. As I sat looking upon the glowing bed of embers, this picture rose before my eyes, plainly as if drawn by the hand of an ar- tist upon canvas. And this is what I saw. T saw a room, plainly but neatly. farvish» ed, in the midst of which sat a lovely darked-eyed woman, holding close to her bosom a sweet, baby boy of perhaps three Ah! how tender, and inno- summers. cent he looks as he lifta his smiling face to receive the loving kiss that she bends to press on his rosy lips. Then as I look- ed, I saw the little head sink low upon her bosom, and the blue eyes closed in peaceful slumber, and softly I murmured under my breath: Ob happy mother watch and guard tenderly your precious treasure! Slowly the picture faded from view, but almost immediately another one rose in its place. I looked into that self same (but the Governor appoints. Why ie this ? SALISBURY N.

Attorney General and Cloud vs. Wilson. “All vacancies occurring in the offices provided for by this article of the consti- tation shall be filled by the appointment of the Governor, unlees other wise provi- ded for, and the appointees shall hold their places until the next regular elee- tion.” Con. art. 4, eec. 31. The meaning of “next regular election” is the question to be settled. The adjective “next” is evidently used to qualify “election” so as to make it mean the first as distiuguished from a re- ‘mote election. It means the first election m poini of time. ‘The adjective “regular” is used to qual- ify “election” so as to distinguish it trom some other kind of election. It ia there~ fore necessary to assertain what are the several kinds of elections designated in the Constitution. Theve are two, and only two kinds of elections designated or contemplated in the Constitution: regular elections and special elections. Regular elections are those by which the offices are originally and continuously filled according to “stated and establish- ed rules,” at “periodical times.” Web. Dict. Special elections are those by which the offices are filled in case of accident. The usual election for members of the General Assembty on the first Thursday in August every two years is an instance of regular election. An election to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of a member, at such time as may be appoint~ ed, is an instance of special election. It is a useful inquiry, why is it that the Governor is allowed to appoint a Judge in any case? ‘lhe people elect members of the General Assembly, whose term is two years, and if a member dies, making a vacancy, the governor does not fill the vacancy by his appoiutment; but the people meet again and elect a new member. And so the people elect a Judge whose term is eight years, and yet if a Judge dies, makiug a vacancy, the people do not meet again and elect a new Judge, Why is the Goveruor let in to appoint iu one case aud uot in the other? ‘The peos | ple are the elective power in both cases, and one is just as important as the other; and they will not a!low the Gevernor to appoint in one case for a single day, and yet they do allow him to appoint in the other for years. ‘lhe difference is found- room again, and I saw as before the same | dark eyed woman, but oh, how ehanged ! | This time she held no smiling ‘baby boy iu her arma, but sat in a listless attitude her hands folded on her lap, and a_reat- less, uneasy light gleaming in her eyes. Presently I saw her epring to her feet with a great sob of pain, and fix her ead eyes on the form of a young man per- bapa eighteen years of age who came through the opeu door with a» heavy, un- certain step. His eyes gleamed with a strange wild five, his occe fair face wae flushed, and after vainly endeavoring to take a few steps forward he sank to the floor in a stupor of intoxication, With flowing tears I saw her kneel by him and I seemed to hear the tones of her voice as she sobbed: ‘My boy ! my boy !’’ God strengthen and help thee, poor mother ! The picture grew dim, but another one rose befure my gaze—bright aud vivid, andI shivered as with cold while I looked. Again I looked into that room, and thie is what I saw. A trembling, haggard faced woman kneeling near a couch on which was extended the torm of a dyiug man—yes, dying yet wild blas- phemous oaths leaped like fire from his burning lips. One moment he lay quietly, and then oh horror! he started up exs claiming. “Mother Iam dying-dying the death of a drunkard, and as such I am doomed!” Slowly a livid shadow over- spread his swollen face, and with these last words he sank back dead. I secmed to het one wild wail as the mother arose and look- ed with streaming eyes out on the summer down on the earth—the bright stars on the fields of space as they looked pitying- ly down seemed to whisper “doomed” the summer breeze whispered ‘doomed,” and her own sad heart wailed forth doomed- doomed !" The vivid pictme as if by magic faded away, and with a low cry I sprang to my feet to find that I had been making fire pictures. Yee, fire pictures, but oh ? what a true representation of what is daily, and hourly going on in so many American homes. ‘T'hose who iudulge io the use of the wine-cup see, and know its evila—know where it will lead them, yet they close their eyes, and blindly persue the road to destruction.

I express uo opinion, not because I have none, but because this is not the place to express it. of the fact that the people are the electors of Judges, are we not to suppose that the Constitution would have so provided as that as much as possible of the terms of Judges should result from the popular vote? When it is clearly intended that the Judgeship of a district shall be held eight years under the election by the peo- pie, can it be that in case of accident it should be held ons year under.the election SUE J. JESSAMINE DICKSON. arch 19, 1874—ly. Fed. 13h, 1875,—3mos, | ‘ HOMASVILLE, N. C. by the people and seven years under the appointment by the Governor? Why ed on convenience, and on that, alone.. Members of the General Assembly repres sent a county or a small district, and it is but little trouble or expense for the peox ple to make a new election upon short notice. And therefore there ia no necessity that the Governor should appoint their repre- sentative or any county officer, ard he is not allowed to do so. But the Constitu- tion provides ihat all the twelve Superior Court Judges shall be elected not by a county, not by a district, but by the whole State, (unless thereafter altered). And a special election to fill a vacancy would involve delay to notify the pcople, to nominate candidates to canvass their mer- ite; and much expense to bold and certify the election. And go, for convenience, the appointment t» fill the vacancy was given to the Governor, iustead of being reserved by the people. It is also a useful inquiry: For how long a time would the people be likely to part with thisimportaut elective power ? As they parted with it temporally to suit their convenience, they would resume it as soon as convenient. The next inquiry is, is such convenient time indicated in the coustitution ? It isthe “stated, established, usual’ period where the people meet together for the first time after the vacaucy occurs to vote for judgea of the Superior Coarts. Then it is as convenient for them to fill a vacancy resulting from accident, as from the expiration of aterm. And itis just as couvenient for them to vote for seven as for six. If then we use “regular” in the sense of usnal or established election, we have still to determine what are the us-~ ual or eseablished times for elections of judges by the people ? The Coustitution provides that twelve Superior Court Judges shall be elected by general ticket, and shall hold their offices for eight years from 1870. ‘That would niake the usual, established, or what is the same, the “regalar’’ elections [ come off in 1878, 1886 and 80 on, every eight years. But there was a further pro- vision that onexhalf the judges clected at the first election should hold their first terms for only fouc years; the effect of which was to bave an election every four years for six Judges, instead of election every eight years for twelve Judges, evi- dently for the purpose of securing a con tinuous and auiform practice and admino- istration of the law, and at the same time popularizing the system and keeping the with a frequent reminder to the Judges a frequent opportunity to the people Whether such a policy is wise or unwise, With this policy in view, and in view ee pointment by the Governor bave “en other effect than to fill the office until ‘the legitinsate electors can fill it when they come together at the usual or regular time and places of electing jadges ; and with. out the inconvenience of being called to- gether in @ special election? Beyond all question the people are to elect the Judge at eome fature, neualor regular election for Jadges. ‘There'was such a regalar election in 1874, four years (six) after the Vacancy occarred and was ‘filled by the appointment of the plaiptiff; and there will be another regular election for the same parpose in 1878; at which of these regu- ar elections for judges are the people to be permitted to vote for a judge ‘in that district ? The langaage is at the “next regalar election.” Does that mean the next regular election in 1874? Or does it mean the next after the next iu 1878? It certainly was just as convenient for them to vote to fill that vacancy at the time when they voted to fill six other vacancies in 1874, as itcan be for them to fill it when they vote to fill six other vacancies in 1878, Nor can the alteration by stat~ ute, since the Constitation, to vote by dis- tricts make any difference. It is insisted that we ought to read the Constitution as if it were “next regular election” for that office. If that addition would not alter the meaning, why make it? If it would alter the meaning, where is the precedent for changing language to injurioasly affect a popular right. In whose favor must doubtful language be construed ? Not in favor of the appointing power of the Governor—he has no inter- estin it. Not in favor of the appointee, for although he has an interest, yet it is subgervieut to the public, and doubtful language must be sulved in favor of popu- larright. Nothing is better settled, or more important to be maintained, than that no one ought to exercise the duties of an office to which his title is .doubtful : and no one righifully in office ought to exercise a doubtful power; the Legislature itself ought not to exercise a doubtful power; and it is upon the supposition that they duly considered the question of pow- er and detarmined it iu favor of ite exer- cise, that the courts feel themaelves bound by their Constitution, unless in cases plain to the contrary. Every doubt, in every thing, is solved in favor of pops ular rights ; to thia, there is no exception. Cooley’s Con., Line 36, 37, 73, 74, 182, 186. The Conetitution having provided for an election of Superior Court Jadges in 1874; and that being the next regular election for Judges after the vacancy, avd tue people having parted with tbe right to fill the office only temporarily and~ for conventence, and it being reasonable and fundamental convenient, it would seem to follow that the election of the defendant in 1874 was proper. An argument of some force against this view is, that Judgeships should be for the longest time, and that a reasonable consid- eration of the interest of the appointees would not call bim from his practice for a few months or years, and that no good lawyer would accept such appointment. But an analogy unfavorable to this argu- ment was the appointment of Jadges un der the old regime by the Governor until tbe next General Assembly, which was sometimes only for a few months, and could not exceed two years. And then the General Assembly resumed the elec. tive power, and sometimes used it with crushing, not to say cruel effect, upon the appointees, under the idea that the public good, or some other consideration was paramount. ‘There isa general idea that to fill a vacancy, is to fill it as full as you would a barrel, #0 that there is nothiug moreto do. That is true, where the electing power to fill the office originally, is the same power that fills the vacancy ; az where the people elect a member of the General Assembly and he dies, and they fill the vacancy. ‘They fill it full and there is an end. But where the appoint- ing power is not the electing power, then it reverts to the electing power as soon as it can be conveniently exercised, uuless the contrary clearly appears. And doubts ought to be solved in favor of the rever- sion. It is objected that this constraction would diaarrange the provision, that the Judges of the Superior Courts are to be devided and kept in two classes, six and six, to be elected every four years ; for,tif eight are elected in ‘874, then only foar will be to be elected in 1878. Non sequi- tor. That would be so if the two Judes elected to fill vacancies in terma which end in 1878 were elecied not only to fill the vacancies, but fur four years of the next term. That woald be an anomally, for which I remember no precedent, either to appoint or elect an officer, not only for the unexpired term, but for one half of the succeeding term. A Senator in Cony gress is elected for six years; bat if elec- ted to fill a three year vatancy, he does not fill that three years and three years of the succeeding term. So here, when two Judges are elected iu 1874 to fill vacan- cies in terms which end in 1878; their terms expire in 1878. They fill vacancies and not terms. Again, it is said that if the constraction for which I contend, i. e. that the Gover- nor is to appoint antil the next regular election for Judges of the Superior Coarts, and then the people are to ef remainder of the vacancy, then, if the va- cancy should happen just before the elec~ tion, say twenty could be held, the vacanc7 would remain for four years ; Non seguitor.

The time ts coming—it is not far of — unless anticipated by a violent ruptare of ® the government, when the policy and priociples of the South, condemned and misrepresented by the North, and even by many at the south, will receive full vin« dication. The idea npon which the Union was formed and a nationality created; wag that of a boud between perfectly free and independent soverignties, each State re-- serving to itself everything not surrens dered to the creature of its concessions. Between this idea and that of centrale zation, there bas been a eonstartt strife, transferred ati length from tbe buatio and from the forum to the field of battle. For, whatever may have appeared ‘the more patent material and tangible cangem » Pot the war, ft caunat be denied. that” Pee! doctrine of State Rights really underlaid — them all. Inroads upon reserved rights in the shape of ill adjusted, unfair and oppressive taxes ; forced and extravagant constructions af the powers of the generab government over the subjects of internal improvements, and of currency; and final, interference with and restrictions upon the rights in the property in slaves, compelled the South to make attempt to detach itself from the North and preseree pure and unimpaired the features which in theory had made our form of govern- ment 8o admirablo. The South failed, and the doetrine of States Rights for the while was trampled ander foot, and a duminant centralization sprung ap on its rains. So long as the prostrate victim of a dieastrous straggte tor constitutional 1ights was the only saf~ ferer, there was none sagacious enough to see the hidden dangers mvolved in her sufferings. Hate had blinded reason, and vengeauce overleaped discretion. Bag even vengeance itself is rated in all but those who had predetermined to makea wicked use of opportunity. and the North- ern people are at length ulive tothe warn- ings of Sonthern etatcsmen, and to the teachings of history. They are beginniag to see that States, such as Louisiana, Mis- sissippi and Arkansas, sovereign in theory, but subjugated provinces in fact, cannot suffer alone. Tbe experience of uncheck< ed abuse of central power would most as~ suredly be turned to profit, in the overs throw of those States which lave so proad- ly held themaelves snperior to, and exempt from like misfortave. The leaven is at work, and if time fe given, a few years will see established as cardinal principles the ideas and precepts of the Statesmen of the Scath. In this connection may be noticed a singular and marked deference to Soathera caution and sagacity in the recent attemp: in Congress to engraft upon the Constita- tion one of the provisions of the Conati- tution of the Southern Confederacy, whieh limited the tenure of the Presidency to one term of six years. ‘The vote on the question was a large one, bat not enough to carry the meaeure through Congress, But our example has been attempted, the blow bas been strack, and if the country survive its present peril, at a day not far distant, it will be saved all futare appre- hension from Presidential aspirants to am- limited possession of office. > t ———— A “yaller” dog bas covered bimaelf with glory as a traveler or pilgrim or quad- rupedestrian.

Low stapid ! ee epee From the New York Herald. Grant’s Arkansas Message. President The elcsing sentence of this extraordi- nary document conveys a clear intimation or threat that if Congress ahould follow the advice of the committee sent to inves- tigate the condition of things in Arkan- sas and let the State alone, the President will interfere un his own authority to up set the State government, depose Garland and install Brooks as Governor. This is the boldest menace, and its fulfilment would be the most daring act ever ven- tured upon evan by General Grant. “I earnestly ask,” he Bays, that Congrees will take definite action in the matter to relieve the Executive from acting upon the queation which should be decided by the legislative branch of the government.’ He too evidently means, if Congress does pot act, to adopt a course parallel to that which be has pursued iu Louisiana, con- strning the silence of that body as a pers mission to follow bis own judgment as to who is the rightful Governor,. aud to put bim in office and maintain him in office by military force. ‘The demand that Con gress act on the subject in disregard to the advice uf one of its own committees who have visited the State and inquired into ite affairs is absurd. If, as the com witte thiuk, the new constitution ana the Garlaud government are supported by a large majority of the people and are legally valid, what occasion is there for Congrese to ‘take definite action in the matter,” or to act upon it at all? He. might as rea- sonably ask Congress to decide whether Mr, Tilden is the legal Governor of New York, with an implied threat of outting- him if Congress declined to go beyond its authority and pass upon hia claims. It is a subject which Congress has no right tu intermeddle, and its torbearance to act can give the President no shadow of ex+ cuse to overthrow the State goverument and put Brooka in office. According to the President Message be has much stronger grounds for sup- porting the claim of Brooks thau be ever had for supporting that of Kellogg. He does not pretend that Kellogg wae legally elected, and he has recently stated, ina Vicssage to Congress, his opinion that the Louisiana election of 1872 was a “gigan- tic fraud,”” and that he sustained Kellogg because, between two invalid claima to the Governorship, he thought Kellogg’s the least objectionable. But he has,no misgive ings respecting the claims of Brooks. He agseerts that gentlemau’s title to the office of Goveruor in the strongest possiblt language, and if he follows the preceden set for himself in Louisiana General Grant: as soon as the session closes, will send the army to Arkansas to revolytionize its government. By declaring bis belief that Brooke is the legitimate Gaovernar he bas invited him to make an application for Federal assistance in putting down op: position to bis authority ; and jt js ‘plain from this amazing Message that the Pres- ident intends to couiply ‘with such a re~ west when it is made, unless Congress lees bis hands.

How great the difference is 'twixt tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee will be seen by a study of Mr. Butler’s speech and the rutiogs of the Speaker on points of order, in com- pareion with the epeech of Mr. Brown and the action taken aud attempted on that. Mr. Brown was uuparliamentary ; bat there are uot a few, eyen among those who hate the political echod! in which he bas been trained, who will more easily tolerate his lawless invective than Gener- al Butler's parliamacotary and protected | slanders of States, parties and peoples. That it is the deliberate purpose of Gener- al Butler and thoee who train in his com~- pany to taunt and inault the South to the piteb of exaeperation and overt acts of re- taliation observant men can hardly donbt. The danger is that the large body of Rex publicans who sincerely desire peace and justice will too long neglect to rebuke and repudiate the interternal policy of provocation upon which a few of their cnserupuloas leaders are bent. Iftheir conduct should sting some of the more hot-headed communities to mad- ness the future historian, calmly re- viewing these times, woald rightly blame us and not them. if Brown, or MeLean, or any other hot-tempered Southern member, had shot Butler for his provoking characterization of their cons stituents a few years ago, or his worse iu- sults of yesterday, we believe it would have gladdeued the hearts of a recklesa faction, who see no way to perpetuate their power except by kindling again the unrearoning passions of war. ‘The sec- tional spirit will never be conquered by sweeping devunciations of an intelligent population as “bauditti,’’ ‘murderers” “assagsine.”” General Butler has done more within a weck to perpetuate strife and rancor between the rections and races than can be corrected in a generation without a prompt and decisive repudiation of him and his allies. Let the country bear in mind that he is already repudiated in Massachusetts, and let the Southern people rest in the conviction that this Commonwealth and the great majority of the Northeru people have indicated a strong disapproval of all his clan.—The North wants peace and good government, and iv this respect is of one mind with the South. What is now doing is the desperate throw of political gamblers struggling for another chance, as revolting in most particulars to our people as theirs. ‘Their day of power to do mischief is nearly over.

It is believed that seven-tentbs of the planters of this coantry, North and South alike, are staggering to their fall under a load of debt and mortgage. What is the matter? As a class farmers are not lazy. They are seldom idle. They work as hard as anybody ought to work. They make, tuking ove year with another, what way be consideted, under the pre- vailing siandard of agricalture, fair crops, and they get, as arule, good prices for the surplus products they put into the maiket; still they don’t get rich—iu fact, are get- ting poorer and poorer every year. Why is itee? To say nothing now ofa faulty system of cropping—all cotton, all wheat, or all something else; or of credit, loans aud interest, the reaeon which we bad in mind with which to point this paragraph is that 2¢ costs too much to make our crops.

Her wedding jour- ney consisted in going from her old home to a cottage in the vicinity; aud upon ar- riving there she found a barrel of flour, . @ jar of butter, 4, complete set of cooking utensils, a picce of merino, a set of crock- ery ware, knives, forks, spoons and glass- ware,’ enough household groceries to last vix montha, and ou her parlor table are ceipt for the, pre payment of a year’s rent for the cottage, WHHL two £10 notes pinned to a paper, ou which was writnen, ‘To purchase sumething usefal.”” Was uot this the right kind ofatilizarianism tor a young couple of limited means, about starting out upon their matrimonial career, and was it not more beautiful than. duplicate plated fiieh-kuives, and other trash usually given upon like occasions } Our Granger.

The young man who said she was “too sweet to live a minute,” was knocked fn the head, not because he storied, but because his admi- ration af ber made auother tellow jealous and mad.” The National Hotel.—We availed ourself of a standing invitation to dine at the NATIONAL a few days agu, and we are ena- bled to give additional testimouy to what we will fiud the Natioval a mogt desirable place tu stop at in passing through Salisbury.

There is no description made public of the appearanee of things in these villages, but the view must be a strange one. A villag2 where every per- eon—map, woman aud child—isa a prey to the most loathsome diseases; where there is marrying and giving marriage, must be a singular as well as a saddening rpectacle. ‘That ancha condition of things should be, that a government should al- low such a borrible disease to be perpetu- ated aud extended, is a sufficient commen tary upon the character of the empire, and perhaps a a:flicient cause for interven- tion by other nations, in the interest of humanity.

In size, the light tabes_ need be no greater than ordinary gas pipes, and even micli sinaller, since all the light required for the largest room might be transmitted to the reflector av an extremely’ slender beam. ‘The termina! lenses would close the tube against smoke and. dust, which would dim the reflectors at the angles; and by keeping the enclosed air pure and dry, the absorption of light would be in- appreciable. ——~+.-—_ —_ He Thought it was Delirium ‘Tremens.© From the New Brungwicker, | Sniffles brought bis two weeks’ spree to a close on ‘Thursday vight.

But they have the easy, elegant, uaconscioasly gracetul mauners of well-bread women of ibe world, wham no exigeney sarpriges, and who Jook opon the world as huug with roses for their especial placking.— You uever see a Southern society girl act awkwardly, or look miserably out of place, as did poor Jue Gargery wheu dreseed in his Sunday clothes. ‘They act nataral, because they are as woch in their element as are swans on the breast of the river.— Washington Letter. —_—_—_ a> The Secret of Beauty. It is not in pearl power, nor in golden hair- dye, nor in jewelry. Jt cannot be got in a bot- tle or a box. It is pleasant to be handsome; but all beauty is not in prettiness. There is a higher beauty, that make us luve people tenderly. Eyes, nose, hair, or skin never did that yet; though it is pleasing to see fine features. What you are will make your face over for you in the end, whether nature has made it plain or pretty. Good people are never ill-looking. What- ever their faces may be, an amiable expression atones for all, If they can be cheerful also, no one will love them the less because their fea- tues are not regular, or hecause they are too fat, cY too thin, too pale or too dark. Cultitivation of the mind adds another charm to their faces, and, on the whole, if any girl is desirous of be- ing liked by the many and loved by the one, il is more in her power than she may believe to accomplish that object, Cosmetics will not accomplish it, however. Neither will fine dress ; though a woman who does not dress becoming wrongs herself. Forced smiles and affected amiability will be of no avail; but if she can manage to feel kindly to everybody, not to be jealous, not to be cross, to be happy if possible, and to encourage contentment, then something will come inte her face that will outlast youth’s roses, and gain her not only a husband, but a life-long lover. + a THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE NortTH CAROLINA RAtLROAD.— Iu response to a request on the part of the Senate, Gov Brogden has sent in the folluwing special message iv relation to the situation of the North Carolina Railroad : STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, _ EXecuTIVE DEPaRTMENT, RALEIGH. N. C., Jan. 29, '75 To the P.esident aud the Senate of Nort Carolina ; GENTLEMEN :—I have the honor to ac- knowledge the receipt of a resolution passed by the Senate requesting ne to furnish in- formation in relation tu the financial affairs of the North Carolina Railroad, and in compliance with said request, I trausinit herewith sncb information us I have been able to obtain coucerning the subject matter of the resolution The whole vuinber of State Bonds issued for construction of the North Carolina rail- iroad, under the act of 1848 ’49. chapter 82. | aud the act of 1854 '55, chapter 32, par yalue of $1.000 each, 3,000. The number of said Bonds taken up iv exchange for stuek formerly owned by the State lo Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, &e.. 206. Leaviug whole number of North Carolina Coustruction Bonds outstanding. 2.794. Par value of $1,000 each, $2.794.000, Whole number of North Caroliva Railroad Bonds proved in the United States Cireuit Court, Eastern District of North Carolina. in the suit of Authony H. Swazey for self aud others gaiust the North Carolina Rail- road Compauy, D, A. Jeukivs, king $1,- 827 000. = Whole number of past due coupons of said bonds proved up to and iueluding those due October Ist, 1874, 25,683, &770,490. Of this there has been ordered to be paid under decrees of the Court made in the above pained suit, at several times, (about) $524.000. Leaving balance of covpona still due and proved of $246.490. Iuterest is claimed on these coupons by the holders, and if allowed. will amount to between $1 75.000 and $180,000. Balance of Bonds vutstauding and not 967, making 967,000. Estimated coupons past due Bonds 11.504. naking $345,120. In addition io balance uf evupons on prov- ed Bouus now due and unpaid, to wit: $246,- 490. The coupons on these bonds falling dae on these Jaunary 1, aud April J, 1875, will amount to $54 810. Total of conpons on proved bonds dae on or before April 1, 1875, $301.300. I have not yet seen any satisfactory reason to change the opinion expressed in wy reg- ular inessage in regard to this matter, as follows: *The sum necessary to be taised by the present General Assembly to pay the past due interest on the Construetion Bonds. and thus save the stock of the State from sale under the decree of the United States Circuit Court, will probably amount to more than $200,000. I entertain this epinion from information derived frou, Hon. W. A. Smith, President of the North Carolina Railroad J. A. McCau'ey. Treas irer of said road, and Jos. B. Ratehelor, Esq., the Cowmissiover the amount of interest past due and uupaid in the Swasey suit. The North Carolina Railroad bas already paid three million nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars * ($3,960,000) in dividends, and reducing the dividends in Confederate currency to six per cent, this road has paid two inillion four hundred and forty thousand dollars (®2,440,000.) This valuable and a ruad ought not to be lust to the tate, It gives encouragement to labor and en- ee aud iucreases our taxable wealth. ttends tu the promoticn of trade aud comnierce, and it is of great public benetit and utility. Judging from the past pros- perity and future prospects of this ruad, it is reasouable to expect that it will be able to pay at least ix per oent. dividends ou it8 capital stock. The reut of the North Carolina Railroad. . paid puretually by the Richmond & Danville Railroad Company, according to the terms of the lease made by said Company, September 11. 1871. I respectfuily aud earnestly reoommend the General Assembly tu preserve and ptu- tect the State's interest ju this ruad. J have the honor to be, with great respect yvur ob‘dt servaut. C. H. BroGpex.

Saxispury, N. C., October 10th, 1874. & Bro. n reply to your inquiry as to the merits of the Guanahani Guano, I will state that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in use in our country. In the month of February I bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn. On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, 1 picked 14 ounces the same day—showingfa difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ; with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounds to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—showing per cent. —_—— I haye not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent, On one acre of ground, as a test, I sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani, broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstances, has average 700 of seed cottun ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds E. A. PROPST. Davie Co., N.C. Messrs Meroney & Bro. GENTLEMEN :—In reply to your inquiry that I used it last Summer on an old field which would have nary circumstances but which under the application of I had one test row and this showed a difference of over t Guanahani yielded me a very bree hundred per cent. in favor of the as to the merits of Guanahani Guano, I would say roduced very poorly under ordi- good crop.

A visitor to the asylum in this city will nove many curious characteristics of thia class. See that room of ladies. You enter and speak to an old acquaintance. She is quiet and moody, and hardly answers out of yes and no. ‘The rest of the women all shrink back to the wall and remain as silent aa the grave, some with heads down, and others possibly with hand to their faces. You go out of the room. Suppose you stop at the door and peep back in that room. All is now life and frolic, They crowd around the woman you just spoke to, and auch laughing, such gesturing, as if it was the richest joke of the seazon. The men patients have a good old time now and then. For instance, to day they plana big deer hunt for the morrow. They agree to meet, say, at ten o’clock, under the big oak by the spring with gans and dogs. Sure enough the next day they are all there in the big passage of the aslynm, all ready for the hunt. And such carrying on as they do have, “Here, Plato, come here Ring, sic there, Venus,”’ and the men leap about on all-fours like dogs, while another is leap- ing and running like a fine buck, the dogs in full pursuit, and then a loud bang like a gun, and the deer bounds, falls, and one fellow runs np and slides his haud across the throat like a knife, and the man gives the dying kicks and lies as still as death.

When the question was aeked, “Who ean stand before God’s cold?’ It is im- plied, that God is the author of cold; that its opperations are subject to him; that it is somethimg extremely powerful that no one can resist.—And though many experiments have been made to show a positive principle as the cause of the peculiar effects of cold, yet, it must be allowed only a negative existence. Bat, so astonishing and sublime are the effects of frost—so wide its eternal dominion in the world, around the poles or the earth, and outside of our atmosphere, where a French philosopher makes the temperature of the celestial spaces to be 224 degrees below zcro on our thermometer—tbat it is not strange that men who observe its phenomena, should be slow to believe, that it is a mere absence of heat. Ae God is said to “make darkness,” which is the want of light, so cold, the absence of heat is His. And to know how terrible a power this is, we must vis- it the frigid zone, ‘In the northern part of Sweden and Russia, the rivers and ordinary lakes are frozen to the depth ot several feet; wine, and even ardent spirits, become converted into a .spongy mass of ice; and as the cold still augments, it penetrates the living forest, and con- geals the very sap of the trees, which occasionally burst from this internal ex- pansion with tremendous noise. The Baltic Sea has been repeatedly covered with a solid floor of ice capable of. trans- porting whole armies with all their stores and engines of war.” Io Franklin’s Ex- pedition, he remarks, that “the trees froze to their very ceutres and became hard as stones and more difficult to cut. Some of the axes were broken daily. Dr. Kane, under date of November 27, 1853, says: “It must have been very cold, fora bottle of whiskey of good stiff proof froze under Dr. Bonsall s head.” Tis was in latitude 78° north: “Oa_ the fifth of February, our thermometers began to show unexampled temperature.

At these temperatures chloric ether became solid, and carefully prepared cbloriform exbibit- eda granular pellicle on its surface. “The exhalations from the surface of the body invested the exposed parts with a wreath of vapor. The air had a pungency upon inspiration.” ‘‘I could not even melt ice for water: any resort to snow to allay the thirst, was followed by bloody lips and tongue; it burnt like caustic.” Other travelers in those regions of eternal frost, say that any metallic articles touching the skin, affected it just as if they had been red hot. They realized what Milton so graphically describes— “Beyond this flood, a frozen continent Lies dark and wild, beat with perpetual storms Of whirl-wind and dire hail, which on firm lands Thaws not, but gathers heap, and ruin seems Of ancient pile: or else deep snow and ice. * * a is The parching air BuRNs, FREEZES, and CoLv PREFORMS the effect of tire.’ Sensible Nonsense.

A Strange Story. From tne San Francisco Examiner, 19tb, ult. When the Confederate under General Lee was forced heck hort the trenches at Petersburg by the Federal army, Precident Davis hurriedly ordered about fifteen million dollars, the property. of the banks of Virginia and.of the Con- federate States, to be placed on trains at ‘Richmond and sent South, interfding to convey it to the trans- Mississippi Depart- ment, if possible, there to make a final atand,. ‘Che treasure was carried down to Charlotte N. C., where the railroad ended, At this place it was decided to leave the money belonging to the Bank of Virginia in keeping of their officers. The rest of the money belonging to the Confederate States was Beene a wagons and the res treat-continued. The br of. Gens, Basit Duke and Vaughan, eee at wee eeeded in escaping from East Tennessee and had arrived at Charlotte a few days before, were placed, under the orders of General John C. Breckinridge, to act as an escort to the treasure, and the command proceeded south until Greensboro, Wash- ington county, Georgia, was reached. At this point information was received thatthe Federal General, Wilacn, had captared Macon, a few miles distant, and in the line of retreat to the trans. Missis- sippi Department. ‘The news soon got among the men. They became demora- lized, and a rush was made for the wagons containing the treasure. It was speedily devided among them, the officera being unable to restrain the men. Among the lucky ones were two eoldiers belonging to Company B, Third ‘Tennessee Mounted Infantry, of Vaughan’s brigade, from Monro county Tennessee. One of them was named Albert Stevens, and the other we will designate J. T. Jones. They had charge of a wagon containIng one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold, and when the panic spread among the soldiers, and the cry was “‘sauve qui peut;” they retained their presence of mind and drove off in the woods, where they devided the money, making some seventy-five thousand dollars apiece, and separated, Stevens taking lis to bis home in Tennessee, where he buried it confiding its hiding-place to his mother, a very old lady. Finding that it would be danger- ous for him to remain in Tennessee owing to the unsettled condition of things there, the people being equally divided on the question of the war, be went to Georgia, where he found Joves, who had bought a small place and was quietly waiting un- tilit should be safe for him to return home. Stevens atayed awhile with Joves and then went off to another part of Georgia to visit some relatives. Before going, bowever, he informed Jones about the hiding of his money and his mother's knowledge of its whereabouts. As soon as Stevene was gone, Jones mounted his horse and made a bee-line for Tennessee, to the place where Stevens lived. Arriv- ing there he presented his comrade’s mother with a forged letter, purporting to come from her son, directing her to deliv- erthe money to Jones, which the old lady did. Jones then started direct for California. Arriving here be purchased a large tract of landin Mendocinc county, and being very low at that time, and has since amissed a large fortune in addition to hia ill-gotten gains, and is now highly respected and a member of the church, In the couree of time, Stevens, having ascertained that it would be safe, started tor home, possibly dreaming of a future life of case and comfort on some blues grass farm—raixing fat cattle and blooded horsea—thiz being your average Ken- tuckian’s or Tennesseean’s idea of an earthly paradise. On reaching home he soon found out his loss. Backling on his revolver, he scoured the entire South and West in search of his faithless friend, vowing to shoot him on sight, and only recently ascertained his whereabouts. He ia now in correspondence with a prom- inent lawyer of this city, and an attempt ia being made to settle the difficulty. The Adoration of Woman. That adoration which a young man gives to a woman whom le feels to be great- er and better than himeelf, is hardly dis- tinguishable from a_ religious feeling. What deep and worthy love is not so? whether of woman or child, art or music ? Our caresses, our tender words, our still rapture ander the influence of Antumno sunsets, or pillared vistas, or calin, ma- jestic statues, or Beethoven symphonies, all bring with them the consciousness that they are mere waves aud ripples in an un- fathomable ocean of luve and beauty ; our emotion in its kncenest moment passes trom expression into silence ; our love at its highest flood rushes beyound its obs ject, and losses itself in the sense of di- vine mistery. Is it any weakness, pray, to be wrought on by exquisite musie ? to feel its wondrous barmouies searching the substlest windings of your soul, the delicate fibres of life where no memory can pene trate, and binding together your whole being, past and present, in one unspeaka~ ble vibration, melting you in one moment ‘with all the tenderness, all the Jove that has been scattered through the toilsome years, concentrating in one emotion of heroic courage or resignation all the hard- earned lesgons of self-renouncing sympatoy blending your present joy with past sor- row, and your present sorrow with all your past joy? If not, then neither is it a weakness to be so wrought apon by the exquisite curves on a woman’s cheek and neck and arme, by the liquid depths of her beseeching eyes, or the sweet chidlsh out of her lips. For the beauty of a iseely woman is like music, what can one say more? Beauty has av expression beyend and far above woman’s soul, that it clothes, as the words of genius have a wider meaning than the thought that prompted them ; it is more than womau’s love that moyes us in a Woman’s eyes—it 10.3: WHOLE ‘Noe < “head 7 aa ages oneness * ‘ foe - seems ti be'a far-off thighty love that come near to as, and made ‘#peeth self there ; the rounded: neck) arm, move.us by somethings their réttinese—by their. close with all we have known of teg and peace.

One of the most easy, most common, | and moat perfectly foolish things is.—ste; quarre] —no matter with whom mag, was, man or child; or upon what pretense, of uee in it, and no species or degree of benefit to be gained by it, And yet, sirauge as the fact may be, theologians qnarrcl, and politicians, lawyers, doctors and the States quarrels; nations, tribes, corporations, mea, woman, children, dogs, cats, birds, and beasts quarrel abcat all manner of things, and on all man- ner of occasions. If thereis anythin in the world that will make a man f bad—except pinehing his fiogers in the man ever fails to think less of himself after, in his own eyes, and in the eyes of others -and, what is worse, blunts bis sensibility. to disgrace, on the one haud, and increas« es the power of passionate irritability oa the other. ‘lhe reaeon people a 80 much about religion is, because they bave so little of it, and the harder they quarrel the more abundantly do they prove it. Politicians need not quarrel. Who ever quarrels with a man for hie polit. ical opiuions, ie bimgelf denying the first. principle of freedom—freedom of thoaghé, moral liberty, without which there is, nothing in politics worth a groat ; it is there- fore, wrong upon principle. You have on this subject a right to your own opinions’; ro have others. Yon heve a right to con-. same. Exercise your rights; but ageip again I say—don't quarrel. The trath is, the more quietly and peaceably we all get on, the better—bet- ter for ourselves ; the better for our neigh- bors. In nine cascs ont of ten, the wieest policy is, if a man cheats you to quit deal ing with hiw; if be is abusive, quit bis company; if Le slanders you—aulegg thero is something outrageous to complain of—the wisest way is, generally, jast to let him alone, for there is nothing better than this cool, calm, quiet way of dealing with most of the wrongs we meet with,—e American Homes.

We had begunto think that the members of Congress from the South were the cumpecrs of those from the North; that they would not any more deem it necessary to give colcr of truth to the vile slanders of our people uttered by sach cowardly bullies and blackguards as Butler, Morton, Carpenter and others in Congress fur political effect. We thought that the Democrats were in Congress to demand equal rights for the people of all sections under the Constitution, aud to accept vothjng less. But alas for our poor dowa-trodden country, we haye been mistaken. ‘Ihe South and the West are represented in Congress for-another pur- pose. ‘he object scems to be to teach the unarmed, defenseless people of the South to eat dirt—to persuade the bravest, truest, most peaceable and law-abiding people on earth and of America to cower and trembje betore not only their woret enemiez, and the worst enemies of civil liberty and republican. instilations, but the vilest and most revolutionist that ever sled blood or plot- ted treason against free government. Are not the people of the South more quiet and orderly than those of any other section of these United States? Is there not less lawlessness, less crime. less rowdy- ism among them than is to be found any where else? ‘['hese questions can be an- swered truthfully ia the affirmative. Then, where is the need of the advice to keep quiet? Does it not imply that our enemier told the truth, when they gaid, that we are thieves, cut-throats, murderers ? Surely the South has stooped as low as any people ought to do for the sake of peace and gocd government, why insist then on them falling down upon their knees and still further degrading them selves every time a venal get of vindic- tive blackguards and political iutriguers cry out rebel ? These plotters and traitors are laughing in their sleeves at the con- sternaltion they produce by que blast of their bugle. For our own part we are sick and tired of these Congressional addresses, these so-called waruiugs—these pathetical and Iu the heaven have we not borne every insult, paternal counselings. name of wrong and oppression jt is possible to inflict ypon a people? We have been effectually robbed and ruined. We say let the devils do their worst, a people that have stood what we have can’t be worsted. But the plea is, as it las been for the last ten years, let us bear a little while Why we are doing uothing to oppose or hinder the cause of liberty. We are peaceable and quiet and are ready to lead a helping band to all measures promotive of the cause of liberty aud good government. longer for the sake of liberty. But self-stultification, self-degradation and criuging never yet helped the cause of liberty or secured good government. Nobody down South proposes to go to war if the rump Congress pass the Civil Rights bill, the Kuforeement bill or any other one of the damnable abominations with which we are threatened. Why then this disiutcrested advice to the South? Are we not all, North and South, in the same ship together? We can stand ex- treme measures much better than the North; and then it will require some such extreme measures ag are proposed to bring the Nortb to its sensea. Why not appeal to and counsel the Noithern peos ple? ‘The South has been lectured uatil she is tired of it. Her people do not wish to be continually reminded that they ave abject slaves, and that their existence depeuds apon the mercy of such mon- sters as Butler, Ives, Wendal Phillips and that class of the Northern people. ‘hese addresses remind ya of a parcel of whimpering felons who are pleading to escape merited punishment, and we hope to see no more of them. Are the Southern people indeed banditti? If the Demo- cratic represeatatives in Congress can not detend civil and constitutional liberty in a more manly, efficient, and dignified way than by counseling abject submission to the reckless rule of hate and treason, all we have got to say is, that what liberty there is leftis not worth defending, and it wight as well be abandoned. ‘Ten years after surrendering all we had to satisfy northern hate and vengeance, we are sti:l pleading for mercy, for liberty, for existence! Where is all this to end ? When will we get to the bottom of this siuk 7 or out of this Slough cf Despond ? Never by truckling to our fears, or cons doviug the crimes of our mortal enemies. Then let us resolve to yield ouly a forced acquiescence to the degrading measures that way be imposed, oyltivate peace and harmony among our own people, endea- vor to control to the best gdvantage our own internal affairs, and haye as little to do with the Federal goyernment and Yankeedom as poasiple. ~~ — Ey The Legislature thregueps to expe] one ‘Tborne for deuyiug the existence of God, and for blaspheming Him iu the moost impious manner.

We congratulate the Legislature and the people upon the paseage of this bill. We regard it as of very great importance, and believe that its effect will be the gradual restoration of prosperity to the State and people. "he only damaging effegt it can possi» bly have will be the Lastening of the evil day that the previous eyatem of coivens tional interest has assured. There will be some sacrificed, but a system of uaury so monstrous in all its ramitactions mast of necessjty bave victips. Those who bave borrowed money at usurious rates will be sold out, it those whose capidity and avarice they have served will it; but the selling out was only a question of time, and perhaps the svouer the better, as, being relicyed of the burdens of et- cessive usury, they may devote the re> mainder of their natural lives to the repairing of the ruin which has been wrought. But will those who have been reaping such rich haryest on their money proceed to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, merely to gratify a epiit of resentment aroused at the passage of this bill ? or for any other reason ? It is to be hoped not ; and we do not beljeve they will as a general thing. We havea bet- ter oppinion of humanity, however mon- strous and wicked the crime of exacting asurious interest. As the natural tendency of the usury system we lave had fer ecveral years past, has been to oppress, trammel and rain all who touched it, no immediate relief by the new gystem should be expected, as restoration must come gradually. Suill the hundreds and thousands who will be saved by the timely passage of this act from the ruin which the previous system has iuflicted upon many, is of itself enough to fill the heart of every true friend of our people with gratitude. While 6 or 8 per cent. does not appear to be exorbitant, yet it is as much as any one cau pay for money to farm or carry on any other business with and prosper. In fact, few can pay this much and make ends meet. Since itis as much as the borrower can possibly stand, aud a hands some revenue to the lender, why shovld not all be satisfied to shake bands over the law and regolve to unite in a common gffort to promote the general proeperity of the whole peopje under it? Even those benefitted by excersive usury, admit its evil effect upon the people at large. Theu it must be evident that jast in proportion as the evil tendency of sucha system is curtailed will good reault. We there- fore anticipate wany good results from the paseage into a law of the bill which we give in another column. It is unnecessary -to say that we be- lieve it will be faithfully observed by our people. ee eee eF The Charlotte Democrat learns, from a report of the Internal Improvement Committee which had under investigation the charges of Judge Onderdonk against the managers and owners of the Carolina Central Railroad, that the charges were not sustained. We don’t know much about how this investigation was condacted, but it looks to us very like a one-sided affair. Judge Ouderdouk was not before the Committee, and in fact but few, it any, of the witves ses that were supposed to know any thing of the truth of his charges. Judge Onderdonk asked that a commit- tee be sent to New York to take evidence of such men as he would suggest, as they could not be forced to come to North Carolina. This was not done; and the people will be apt to thiuk the whole investigation, if not wholly a whitewashs ing affair, a very partial and unsatisfacto- ry one. We respectfully submit that there haz been a little too mach of this loose way of investigating rail road matters. ‘The stock-holders of nearly every road in the State have either been swindled out of their stock, or forced to take whatever the rings pleased to give them for it. Not ouly private individuals, but the State has also been as badly plundered. There have been a great many sovcalled iu ves- tigating Committecs appointed to look into these robberies yet there has been nobody puuished, save poor Jones. ‘bere is something rotten in a system that ia no more efficient in its efforts ta protect the people aud the State from public robbery. Is it the system or those intrusted with its execution ? It is earnestly hoped that our present Legislature will inaugurate a more effici- ent and thorough sys:em of investigation, 80 as to probe the great evil to the core. Address of the Democratic Con- gressmen to the People of the South. WASHINGTON, Feb;yary 18.—The following address has just been prepared by the Democratic member of Congress from the South and South west: To the People of the Southern States : You have confided to the undersigned in this conjuntture of afiairs the delicate and difficult task of guarding in the Fed- eral Gongress your public interests, your tights aud reputation.

Let every white mau in every veighborkood in the whole South regard himself as a commissioner of peace, maintaining the kindliest relations towards the black man, remeimbering that the reeponsivility for the extreme poverty to which we have been reduced and the corrupt governments te which his vote has subjected us rests not so much upon him as upon the bad me. who, with the assurance of. Federal support, have, by appeals to his worst passions, sought tu make him our enemy. While we labor by all honest meaus to convince him of the truth that our interests and his are identicrl, and that both must be preserved by good government, aud that those who stir up strife between us are the enemics of both races. Let us at the same time sce that he is fully protect- ed in his guaranteed rights te vote as he pleases in all elections. Let us continue to deal with him honestly and fairly, aud let us coutinae cordially to invite to our midst those of every pulitical party who seek to know the truth or to fiud bomes upon our gil, We do not exaggerate when we admon. ish you of the disheartening fact that every street disturbance, every homicide of whatever “character, by whomsoever committed, by black or white Repabli cans or Democrats, such as are incident to ever) community upon earth, is per- verted into a pruof of a spirit of lawless~ vess and violence, on purpose to accom. phel political ends. We well know the gross iajnstice of such charges, which have weight only when igvorauce of our true condition pre- vails. Strenous efforts are now being made by those who misrepresent you to indluce the paseage by Cougreas of the most dangerous measures in order to. irri- tate our people, to drive them to dispair, end to provoke them to violent outbreaks in order to furnish an excuse for applying for military interferance. We express the hope that a majority of the present Con- gress will not be found ready to sanction such legislation. It it be accomplished it would he against the protest not only of Democrats but of the moral worth and the statesmanship here of the party in power, and of euch Republicans as Bryaut, Evarts, Charles Fraucis Adams, and oth- ers whose patriotism und sense of justice are known to the entire country. We may, however, wistake. The moat extreme oppression and unconstitutional measures may be imposed upon you. Ih snch an event, we would appeal to the wivdom and protection of a long-suffering people, by every hope of the future, for continued forbearance and hopeful relis ance upon the virtue and sense of justice of the American people for the ultimate vindication of our rights, the proteciion of our liberties, and the safety of our Repub- lican form of government.

Sharp Practice.— A vagabond tramp whose name we did not learn, stole a pair of shoes from a countryman at the depot on Monday last, aud pawned them to Mr. Jas. Clark for a quart of whiskey and perhaps other articles. Going back to the depot he enquired of the country- man if he hadn’t lost a pair of shoes, and being anawered affirmatively, told bim that a man whom he didn’t -know, had given them to him (the tramp) to get him some whisky, &c., with, and that if he would come with him, he’d get them back for him; whereupon they preceeded to- gether to Mr. Clark and demanded the shoes, which Mr. C. at first refused. to give up without he was first paid for the whiskey. ‘ramp cooly iuformed him that that wasn’t law, and Mr. C. had to give ap the shoes.

Oak TimBer.—Large tracts of land in the south of France, not hitherto cultivated, are being planted with the kink of oak trees beneath which truffles are generally fouud, aud it 18 expected that each acre of this land, lately sold as low as £5, will yield a crop of traffles worth £20 per year. The experi- ineut has already been tried in the course of of the last twenty years: 150.000 acres which were absolutely unproductive have been planted, aud are yielding a rich return. The cost of planting, which is borne by the communes, does not exceed twenty francs per acre on hilly ground. and though rather greater iu the lowlands, the crops are pru- portionately heavier. Acorns only are planted on the hilly ground, but saplings of five or six years’ growth, placed in rows abont 40 feet apart, are found to answer in the lowlaads. The ground between. each row of trees is planted with vines, which after five or six years repyy the cust of the plantation and its culture.

Weshall have to live alone after that. “T kpew a man ouce who did not like tu have his name in the newspapers. I have not seen hiu since I was a boy. I think he is dead.” “When I was young I had thoughts of marrying, aud I began to look for a wife whoin'all women would speak well of. but I never found her. I have wasted my time.’”’ “There was a place set apart in heaven for good wives who could judge a wicked thing as harshly when aman did it as wheu a woman did it. But it has uever been oc- cupied, I believe.”’ I foolishly applied myself once to the study of the laws. [t is fortunate that I gave it up, for I should have been sorry to loose all sense of justice,” “Since iny eyes began to grow dim. and 1 do not read any more, I tiud I’m daily growing in wisdum.”’ “J dreamed last night that I had three friends. How crazy we are in var sleep.” ~—_>-____—_- WHO was HE?—Miss Painter, the quakeress told at the Methodist Charch in this city of a man in the western part of this State who wae an infidel and a widower with one little daughter and he would never allow her to go inside of a church or look in a Bible. The litile girl went on a visit to his brother’s, and the broth:r carried her to church and Sunday School, and when she went home she carricd a little Bible with her and held it up before ber father, with ‘vee, here father, what l’ve got,” and the man snatched it from her band and threw it in the fire and told her she would either have to give up her religion or leave home. And the next morning the little girl came down with a bundle ander her arm, and asking her what it meant, she told him she was going to “leave her home,” bat wanted first to pray for him, and then ghe knelt aud offered a prayer for the wicked man. On getting up the father’s eyes swam in tears, and he bade her throw aside the bundle, that he want- ed her to atay at home and pray for him, and she did stay and pray, and her tather ig now a minister of the gospel.

The name “GUANAHANT !” is a Registered TRADE MARK at the United States Patent Orrice, and all persons are warned from making use of the same in connection with fertilizers of any kind.

IMPORTED ONLY BY THE CUANAHANI GUANO COMPANY, PETERSBURG, VA. In offering this FERTILIZER to the Agricultural Community a Second Season we do so with the utmost Confidence, feeling satisfied that the high opinion, we jformed, and expressed last season based on its Chemical Constituents have been most satisfactorily borne out by the test, by which all Fertillizers must be judged, that of the Plantation, Last season, owing to the lateness at which we commenced importing we were forced to put our Guano on the market at once, but now having continued our importatiuns during the sum- mer and fall, and having large and well ventilated \Warehouses in this City and City Point, we are enabled to put our Guano on the market, in a conditions to dryness, and freedom from lumps, equal to any Manufactured Fertilizer. We solicit a careful persual of our Circular containing the certificates sent us, and which can be had on application at this OFFICE, or from any of our AGENTS. Having nothing to con- ceal, we made an innoyation on established usage, by publishing those letters received unfavora- ble:to our Guano, but careful inquiry in many cases proves that the cause of its failure was not owing to any faultin the Guano, but to those far beyond our control. We have frequently heard the same complaints of its kindred Fertilizer, Peruvian Guano, but the concurrent tes’ - mony of well known Farmers and Planters from Maryland to the extreme Western counties of North Carolina, justify us in claiming a place for our Fertilizer Superior to many, and Second to None.

Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the merite of the Guanahani Guano, I will state that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in use in our country. In the month of February 1 bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn. On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, 1 picked 14 ounces the same duy—showing$a difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the’ land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ; with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounde to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—ehowing \a difference of over 600 per cent. I haye not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. On one acre of ground, as a test, I sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstances, has xverage 700 poe of sced cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds E. A. PRO. 4 « a Davis Co., N.C. Mesers Meroney & Bro. : GENTLEMEN :—In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of Guanahani Guano, I would sa that I used it last Summer on an old field which would have produced very poorly under ordi- nary circumstances but which under the application of Guanahani yielded me a very good crop. I had one test row and this showed a difference of over three hundred per cent. in favor of the Guano. I am satisfiel that it is a good Fertilizer and take pleasure in recommending it to every far- mer who wishes to increase his crops as being fully equal if not superior to any Guano on the market.

On the Turkey Cock’s Attack Upon the Honorable Judge Spencer’s Cap. In the degenerate age, What hosts of knayes engage ? Do all they cin - To fetter man, Dreading he should be free : Leagued with the scoundrel pack Even turkey cocks attack The cap of liberty! We get the above from the Wilmington Journal. Judge Spencer, who is refer- red to above, died in 1794. Wheeler, in his history of North Carolina, referring to Mr. Spencer's death says: “His death was caused by a most singular cir- cumstance. THe had been in ill health, and was sitting in his yard in the gun. A large turkey gobbler was attracted by some part of his clothing, which was red, for which color turkeys have a great an- tipathy. The turkey attacked Judge Spencer most furiously, and’ before assis- tance coald rescue him, 80 severely was he wounded, that he died in a short time from the injuries.” This story scems incredible, but it is so an authenticated as doubt. to leave no room to Singular and Fatal Acident. We have nnaccountably overlooked the following obituary notice of the late Judge Spencer, of our State, which we find in the Fayettesville Gazette. The reference to the particular incident con- nected with the death of the Judge, which followa the obituary, is from a Philadel- phia paper aud has called our attention to the original article in the Gagette : DIED.— At his seat in Anson county, on the 20th ult. the Honorable SamueEL Spencer, L. L D., and one of the Judges of the Superior Court of this State. “His bonor’s health had been declining for about two years, but he performed the last Circuit, three months since ; and we understand, intended to have left home in a few days, for this town, where the Superior Court is now sitting, had it not been for the following accident, which, it is thought, hastened his death :—He was sitting in the piazza with a red cap on his head, when a large cock turkey passing, the Judge being sleepy began to nod; when the turkey, mistaking the nodding and the red cap for a challenge, made so violent and unexpected an attack on [lis Honor, that he threw him out on bis chair on the floor ; and before he could get any assietance, so beat and bruised him, that he dicd within a few days after.” A Cure for Lock-jaw. In coursze of the Cantor lectures, recen- tly delivered before the Britich Society of Aris by Dr. Benjamin Richardson, the following deeply important remarks were made upon nitrite of amyl: One of ghese specimens, I mean the nitrite of amyl, has withiu the last few years obtained a remarkable importance, owing to its ex- tracrdinary action upon the body. <A distinguished chemist, Prof. Guthrie, while distilling over nitrite of amyl from amylic alevhol, observed that the vapor, when inhaled, quickened his circulation, and made him teel as if he had been runs ning. ‘There was flushing of his face, rapid action of his heart,’aud breathIcas- neas' In 1861-62 I made a careful and prolonged study the action of this singu- lar body, and discovered that it produced its effect by causing an cxtreme relaxa tion, first of the blood vessels, and after- ward of the muscular fibrers of the body. To such an extent did this agent thus relax, I found it would even overcome the tetanic spasm produced by strycbnia ; and having thus discovered its action, I ven- tured to propose its use for removing the spasm in some of the extremest spasmo- dic diseases. ‘I'he results have more than realized wy expectations. Under the in- fluence of this agent, one of the most agonizing of known haman maladies, called angina pectoris, has been brought under such control that the paroxysuis have been regularly prevented, and in one instunce, at Icast, altogether removed. Even tetanus, or lock-jaw, bas been sub- dued by it, and in two instances, of an extreme kind, so effectively as to warrant the credit of what may be truly called a cure.

I saw somewhere the other day, a sen« tence like this: “The truest courtesy is- the truest Christianity.” This is ‘not simply saying, I take it, that a Christian will be gevtleman; it teaches that the spirit of self-denial, foregoing personal ad- vantages for the eia'gr Aeoae another, is the root and subgtance of the regenera- ted life. Now, here is a practical test, brought near to us in all the scenes of our intercourse with our fellows, showing what manner of spirit we are of. If we are truly, that is, sincerely, courteous and polite, we are serving Christ, showing his example, and exhibiting his spirit. If in the collisions of personal interests through the day, we are more careful to favor our~ selves, to secure the best, to be served first, to gratify our own wishes and tastes, and to gratify and serve others, I care not what names we hear, or what professions we make, or what ‘religious exe we engage in, the spirit of the Master is not in us. —__~+=ep>- UseLess Worry.—Life has great troubles in store for all of us; and few live to be men and women without know- ing terrible grief. But, fortumatcly, these -ntense moments cannot fill all the years, Time helps us to forget, at least the sorest of the pain. ‘To every one would come some joy but for the little worries that happen with the passing hours—cares about money aud the cost of things, small quarrels, petty jealousies, false sbame ; and an awfal dread of what “they” will think if we take a little comfort, act to suit ourselves, and know people we like whether they are gentecl”’ or not, and say what we mean, instead of what is expect- ed. Worries eat the lifeaway. They gnaw and bite wrinkles into the face, and bring gray hairs on the head, and half the time they are not only absolutely needless but absurd. Why in the name of all that is sensible, can we not wait until the draught of sorrow is forced to our lips, and not sip needlessly at the cup of gall and wormwood ? Ifevery man could say to himeelf, “Small worries shall most cer- certain notleugthen my face ;”’ if every wo- man could refuse to fret over such trifles as impudent cooks, and napkins with un- timely holes iu them,’‘more of us wonld live out the three score and ten years al- lotted to us by Heaven, and we shall all certainly be much better company while we lasted. ~ 8 Perseverance Versus Genius. As contemplated by the generality, the two qualities constituting the caption of these desultory remarks are diametrically opposite to each other ; the former being looked upon as a somewhat grovelling though praiseworthy quality ; while the latter is appreciated as something celestial in its nature, and emanating, indeed, from a strictly divine souree. ‘I'o denounce this view of the matter as originating in the purest delusion, and as sustained in a great measure by the force of prejudice and superstition combined, would be deemed, probably, on our part, as a reck- less and daring intermeddling with the long-established conclusions of mavkind, and asilly attempt, at best, to contro- vert a self evident proposition. Let us run the risk for a single moment. Let us summon one or two spirits ‘from the vasty deep’’ (as Glendowcr boasted he could do)—the spirits of Jobn Milton and Sir Isaac Newton, for instance, who, when in this world, passed as two of the greatest geniuses that ever lived. Well, the latter, Sir Isaac, we feel satisfied, on being in. ter.ogated as to the matter under cousid~ eration, would say, what he said in his life-time, that whatever he had achicyed, in the way of science or dis covery, he bad achieved “through patient thought” (he scorned the word “genius,’’) and John Milton would doubtless tell as that his “Paradise Lost’’ was the result, simply, of “indefatigable labor and care.”’ Indeed, all the really great that have ever lived, equally disclaim this evanescent quality of genius, ascribing their success and renown exclusively to the homely quality of perseverance. ee THE LADIES. a The electrical girl: In the beginning of 1846, a year memorial in the history of tablesturning and spirit rapping, An- gelique Cottin was a girl of fourteen, liv- ing in the garden of Bouvigny, near La Pesriere, department of Orue, France. She was ot low starue, but of ,robust frame, and apathetic toan extraordinary degree both in body and in mind. On January 109 of the year named, while the girl was, with three others, engaged in weaving silk thread gloves, the oaken table at which they worked began to move and change position. The work women were alarmed: work was for a moment suspended, but was soon resumed. Bat, when Angelique again took her place the table began anew tc move with great violence; shefelt herself attracted to it, but, so soon as she touched it, it retreated before her, or was even upset. ‘The fols lowing morning similar phenomena were observed, and before long public opinion was very decided in affirming that An- gelique Cottin was possessed of a devil, and that she should be brought before the Parish priest. But the eure was a man of too mach common sense to heed their request for an exorcism, and resolved to see the facts for himself. ‘he girl was brought to the cure’s house, and thero the phenomena were repeated, though aot with the same intensity as before; the table retreated, but was not over- turned, while the chair on which An- gelique was seated moved in a contrary direction, rocking the while aud giving Angelique great difficulty in keeping her ' for March. | | - NO. ane RS . seat.—From Popular Science Monthly’ 71,---WHO Heqeomy i 3 LE: As for Louisiana; web - if een a orn oe n». pa e fear we 1 be orced, avon al deal more before Louisiene' eed in test dea free government, and ‘ ‘pee for “peace” with which Mr. | ‘ta Pres his civic career, and whiewhe ts done more than any other maa in then sountry to prevent the falfillmens, ig fulfilled hy * 4 his successor, since n any expects the fulfillment of4t 4gom As to the Revenue bill which.

If history is to be believed, if the most accurate and able writers are to be regarded, we have clear historical records from the time of Herodotus to the present day, which is about 2,300 yeara, to prove that the ne- gro has always been a stranger to civili- Db zation. In addition to this the monument- tal records of Egypt, 2,500 yeara anterior to the time of Herodotus, show that. the negro was the same stranger to civilization then that he is to-day. There is no record, no monument of negro civilization known to bistory or scientific research. Asarace they are literally without a history, and hy nature savages and averse to civilization. Yet the fools and fanatics of this age are attempting by force meas ures to engraft this inferior race upon the superior, knowing full well if such a thing could be done, without the most revolting crime against the decrees of Heaven, nature, decency, and humanity, t would result both. What then should be expected. f those who are selected as victims of this most villainous and ungodly measure ? Should they assist its consummation by quiet resignation to a fate worse than death? or by honorable, fair, religions and legiti- mate means strive to avert it? They can not, as responsible agents, as chrisNans and philanthropists, as true patriota and good citizcns yield more than an abso- lately foreed acquiescence while they use every possible legitimate means to break its force and effeet. in the destruction of And if they are not abject cowards, they can do much; for we have many illustrations of the utter futility of force measures thrust upon a people of courage and manliness. We are told by Abbe Goeghegan that, notwithstanding the terrible and bloody laws passed by England against the Cath- olics of Ireland, during the reigns of Henry VIJI., Edward VLI., and Elizabeth, even to that of James I., not over eixty Irish embraced the Protestant religion in all that long time, though Ireland contained over two millions of inhabitants. This is an illustration of the benefit of cruel foree lawa, If onr people are not indeed ingrates and cowards this monstrona measure of wicknees and madness, which ia jntended to crash and degrade them, will serve to purify and elevate them. There are means to render the Jaw of non-effect without resorting to violence. Let our -people be vigilant, patient, and firm. _——————+— 3 be Everybody who profers to see their home papers grow instead of tbose at the North, are respectfully requested he trackles. ’ }to eend us subscribers for the Watchman. * ‘in the B States -b; i x i killed in Noth Carolina? tp legislators flod constitutional diffenity aboa exterminating dogs or even Jevying a tax npon them, The le shonld hereafter sénd bold men to the Tegislamre who will do right without regard to the pross pect of a re-election.—Charlotts Temo- crat. Itisthe want of “bold men”+-the want of men who have the nerve to do what they believe tobe right, under all circumstances and atall rimes—that kegps North Oargtina in the back ground and the South degraded. There is such a Inet after office, such a cringing to power, such a temporizing of expediegis, on the part of those evrtrasted with public affairs as to disgust gll men of degency and intel- ligence and make them shun the doubtful honors of official station. If a good man chance to get into place, the time~servers, the weather-cocks, the rings, the boot-licks and the toola of power all tarn their batteries against him to stifle his voice and destroy hia influence. ‘The minions of monopolies, the pimps of cowards, and the representatives of filth and ignorance sneer at him, redicule him, patil he is forced to desist from what he believes to be right, or retires from public affairs altogether in disgaat: Simply because ear to them than to him. We have seen so much of this ehuffling, trimming, and cowardice among office holders, legislatore, and even members of county and munieipal boards, ae well as ameng persons on whom responsibility devolves in other positions, as to make us sometimes doubt the firmness of nearly everybody. No man ought to accept a position whoee duties he is afraid to dia- charge according to hia honest convictions of what justice and the public good re- quire. “He should not regard the sneers of any cliqne, sect, or party, It the people would select such men, and no others, to fill their public offices there would soon be a decided improvement for the better. The large majority of those who fill offices at the present day ride in on prom- ises, with little or no other gratification than brass, impudence or iguorance. When they have achieved their object, they forget their promises, thcir duties to the public, and go to work deviving means and wars to keep themselves in office. They are as supple and wiry as a jumping jack. They trim their sails to suit every wind ; dodge, shuffl: and preverication, are every thing by turns and nothing long. Now this is no fancy picture of the average office-holder of to day, but a truthful sketch of the large majority, as they appear and act after they have secured position. Is it any wonder there- fore that we find go little to approve in the sayings and doings ot our public assemblics, and so little of geueral iuterest to the people at large ? Let our watch-word be, henceforth and forever, good, honest men or none. [For the Watchman. FENCE QUESTION. As the fence question is agitating the minds of a great many and, it being a question of im- portance, I will give my views on the subject, az I have lived where it isa law. All farmers are acquainted with the task of building new fence, and remolding ould ones every year, and know, that it is no small job, besides, it requires that the best timber in the woods must be cut to make the rails, unless every farmer should clear a new ground when the timber would be sufficient withont cutting elsewhere:—yet that is not econumy—for the timber will all be slain anu the woods turned into fields to be cultiva- ted in a few generations tocome, whilst tields now cultivated, which could be made more productive than ever, will be thrown out to grow up into old field pine. Then, where will the timber come from to make rails? When the country is as barren asthe western prairies the “No fence” will be- come a law, and why not adopt it now and save the timber for the use of future generations, avoid the laborious task of making rails to keep the farms under fence. The fence law will have several good effects without the labor saving. In the first place, the time spent in making rails and buiiding fence, can be devoted tu improving the farm, by preparing manure and fertilizers of all kinds, suwing clover seed, plowing more frequent and deeper and should the time not all be occupied at labor, devote two hours at least each day in reading;—read agricultural papers and scientific works,—keep yourselves posted in the progress and modes of agriculture and the lgws of nature. Should the labor on the farm be diminished, during the winter months, by doing away with fence making, try and send your children to school more, that they may improve their intellectual qualities,—for the progress of a country is in proportion to the intellectual development of her people. The idea of the old fogiesr, that farmers need no education, is all bosh, absured, and the result is oppression. Farmers muat be educated and enlightened as much as any other class. * The fence law will also be a means of im- proving the stock. A person cannot afford to eep eo much scrubby stock when he must keep them up and feed them, but must neces- sarily keep less and better stock. Why keep four little cows to milk two gal- lons of milk per day from them, when one good cow will give the same quantity in a dav, and certainly one cow will nut cost as much to kesp her as four will? Why keep a r stock of hogs two years that they may weigh one hun- dred and fifty pounds a piece, instead of good stock that will weigh two hundred pounds at 12 months old? Farmers must wake up and devise means to save labor.

Should it depress and cripple the physical energies of the patient, thereby help- ing thy: disorder, or should it reinforee the vi- tality of the patient and thereby agsigt in qgell- ing the ailmens? Of courte the propef an- swer to this question must be obvious to every ‘one above the grade of en idiot or a hifiatie; in and hence it foljows that the weak and broken{ invalid-who chooses to dose himself with de- pleting vidps,“instead of toning, invigorating ‘and vitall¥ing his enervated frame with Hos- tetter’s Stomach Bitters, must be either feeble minded @f deranged. Surely nothing short of imbecilit¥ of insanity eould induce a person laboring ander bodily yerkness and nervous prostration, to take day after day powerful doses.of some drastic purgative in the hope of gaining strength thereby. Although charlatans may advertise preparations of this character as tonics, people in the full possession of théir reason can not, one would think, accept them as such..

The Farmers and Mechanics of this section are cordially reqnested to co operate with the Directors in making arrangements for the forth coming Fair. We are glad to know that the Directors have offered handsome premiums in money on all farm and mechanical produets, and that preference is given to those of this State. Heretofore deplomas have been given, but that plan has been dispensed with, and the premiums now offered are handsome and desirable. We do hope the farmers of Rowan will confer with the Directors and perfect sach cess.

Many premiums will be offered in the department of mechanies, for articles of home manufacture, instead of all diplo- mas as was done last year. The premiums on growing crops, live-stock, and in Floral hall, have all been revised. On the trials of speed, several races have been left open only for horses which have never been succesful on a race course, thus giving our own country people a fair chance for the premiums The Directors earnestly ask the co-operation of farmers, grangers, mechanics, merchants, ladies, and all our people, in their efforts to con~ tinue the success and good name of the W.N.C. &.

The tollowing uotice is from the Green-~ ville Daily News. Clara Wildman’s New York Comedy Theatre, We had the pleasure of witnessing last night the performance of ‘Hast Lynne,” at Gilreath’s hall, and we regretted that ao many had been deprived of the pleas- ure we experienced in its rendition. All performed their parts to nature, and therefore we cannot particularize, except in regard to Clara Wildman, for she was the main character in the play. It would take too much space to dea~ cribe the play. Some scenes were enough to melt the stoutest heart, and if there was an eye not moistened with tears whep her little son is placed under her charge as governess; the bedside of her dying child, her own death-bed scene, where she calls for an interview with her hus- band, in which she recites. the canse of her leaving, and the trials and_ troubles she has undergone, and the forgivences expressed, aud the tinal doparture in death, we do not enyy their coiduess. Reader, if you desire first-class acting, go and see Clara Wildman aad her troupe }and you will be more than pleased. It will be a long time befure you have such lan opportuaity again. hey make no jattempt at fine scenery, but their action is eplendid and will long be cherished in memory. ‘The scenes in East Lynne we cannot forget.

McCon Gordon. {Atlanta Herald.] Gen. Gorden iatho common man. At college, though not studious, he took high rank io hia class. Studying law, be was at once admitted to pertnership with two of the most eminent lawyers in the State. Leaving this partnership to extricate a very large miveral interest from difficulty, he developed the most important coal mines in Georgia. When the war broke out he raised a company and went to Virginia. Here his career is too well known to require mention. When the war closed he went to work to makea living. Nominated for Governor, he was elected by seven thousand majority, but was cheated ont of his election. He then took hold of the Soathery Life Insurance Company aud soon placed it in the front rank of Southern companies. When Mr. Hill’s term expired he was nominated for the United States Senate. His eompe~ titors were Mr. B. H. Hill anu Mr. A, H. Stephens. He was elected. Here an entirely new field was opened to him, and bravely and nobly has he illustrated it. The highest degree of fortitude and cour- age we ever heard of or knew was exhibi- ted by Gordon at the battle of Sharps- burg, where he was wounded five times, each time severely, in the day, without leaving the field.

VaLvus or Timge.—As nothing truly valuable can be attaiued without industry, eo there can be no persevering industry without a deep sense of the value of time. DisrvtEes.—It is an excellent rule to be observed in all disputes, that men should give soft words and hard argu- ments ; that they should not so much strive to vex as to convince an opponent. The other day a Binghampton girl of- fered to let a countryman kiss her for five eents. “I gad,” exclamed the bucolic outh, “that’s darn cheap if a fellow only Rad the money.” And now they say William Penn would sit down under a tree with Indians about him, and, telling them of the better world beyond the sea, deal himself four aces and win the game.

It is little known, but 1s said to be fertile. Its population, consisting of Arabs and negroes, is estimated to be about 200,000. An experienced farmer tells us that a salt box in constant reach of cattle, horses or mules, without forcing itto them by mix- ing it with feed, and a constant aupply ot water, will keep their stomachs sweet, their system in order, and will prevent epidem- ic and disease. Jt has been tried with great success by farmers who before its use had lost stock. The first Roman journal appeared over 2,000 years ago, and the news was writ- ten on white wooden tablets. Pontifex Maximus was the editor, It first appear- ed only once a year, butthe public became so eager for it that the government found itself obliged to issue the journal daily.— Some of these journals are still in exist- ence. ATTENTION SuHeErFFs.—In the recent murder trial in Pasquotank county, Judge Eure of 1st Judicial District, decided that the fact of aman not having paid his taxes disqualified him from acting as a juror. We learn that this is in accordance witha recent decision of the Supreme Court. If this be so, Sheriffs should bereafter, when required to summon a venire leave out all who stand in the category. The papers aro disputing about the value of a collegiate education to enable a man to rise in politics. While a large number of prominent men now in Con- gress are graduates, there a good many who are vot. Among the member are three clergymen, several doctors, an ac- tor, a stenographer, a jeweler, a tailor, an omnibus driver, an engineer, several edi- tors and printers, a carpenter, eight sol- diers and a hotel proprietor. Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour met with a painful accident on Saturday evening last. Mistaking a pitcher contain- ing a strong solution of sulphate of copper for'a pitcher of water, be rnbbed aome of its contents in his eyes, and as they became painful he administered glycerine. This greatly increased the pain, and when medical aid arrived the Governor wae un- able to open his cyes. At fist it was feared that the eyes had been permanen- tly injured, but skillful treatment has re-~ moved this danger. FeEpinc Stock —Liberal feeding of stock will be found of benefit. Observe caution with cows in high condition; as they near the period of calving, let their feed be gently laxative, and not stimulate ing. No corn-meal should be given to such cows. Bran is safe feed, and if there is any sigy of fever, a pint of linseed oil, or a dose of salts, should be given, as a precantion against milk-fever. Pure air i3 of vital consequence to stock confined in stables. Animals will maintain their natural heat better in a pure cold air, than in a warm foul one. The bottom of* a pond in Southington, Conn., is covered with decomposing vege- table matter producing carburetted hydro- gen gas in considerable quantity. The surface of the water is frozen over, and holes are cut through the ice for fishing. The gas riscs through the water, and at night the boys, by holding ligbted match- es at the holes, ignite it and have the oddest kind of boufjres to skate by. A little girl about nine years old, says the Detriot Free Press, waa eroseing the Campus Martins yesterday, having her father’s dinner pail on her arm, when a man gave a pull at the long braid of her hair hanging down her back. “Did you do that, sir?’ she exclaimed, whirling around. He admitted that he did, and she continued: ‘‘May be you don’t know who I am, sir. I’m engaged to Jack Thompson, sir, and we're to be mar- ried in nine years, sir!” ~~. In Brittany there is said to prevail a curious matrimonial custom. Qn certain Jete days the young ladies appear in red petticoats, with white or yellow borders around them. ‘The number denotes the portion the father is willing to give his daughter. Each white band, representing silver, betokens ene hundred franca otf rent ; and each yellow band denotes gold, and stand for a thousand frances a year. Thus the young farmer who sees a face that pleases him has only to glance at the trimming of the petticoats to learn in an instant what amount accompanies the wearer. ———— Giving Happiness.—To give happie ness, it is said, is God like ; but there ar different ways of giving it. We presume few would choose it as it is said once to have been administered by a captain in the navy, who, on meeting a friend as he flanded, boasted that he had left his whole ship’s company the happiest tellows in the world. ‘‘How 80 ? asked his friend. “Why, I have just flogged seventeen, and they are happy it is over, and all the rest are happy that they have escaped ?” ’ “T>taness.—Tt is a mistake to imagine |. The Bayonet P me is now openl endorsed by the P ‘iadelphia Press, which organ bas bers sitting for a fed - on the fence: It lets the cat out of bag in these remarke: ; “All other means having failed, there “ought to be no question now among “pablicans as to the policy to be adopted “toward —not the South—but that small “and dangerous clasa which is its worst “enemy. If that policy has not been “foreshadowed in the Presideut’s message “aud shaped in the Republican caucus, “the party had better abandon the ques- “tion to the Demoeracy for eolution, and “with it all hopes of securing a halt dozen “electoral votes from the South in 1876.” Will. the Democrats and Conservative Republicans in Congress let this infamous measare to throttle thé South preyail. —~ Wil. Star. or Dr. Livingtone is said to have express- ed the atm«st contempt for lions :— “You talk about the majesty of the lion,”’ said he, chatting one day at a par- ty in London with Sir Edwia Landseer, ‘but you do not know the beast. There is no more majesty about him in the forest than there is about that poodle. It is all poe- try. Lions are arrant cowards—cowardly, sneaking beasts. You can hardly tell a lion from a donkey when you come upon him in the forest ; and if you come upon a lion suddenly, his first impulse is to tuck his tail between his legs and bolt. He will spring upon you if he comes up- on you unawares and can have time to crouch, but if a mau has the courage to look a lion in the face, you need not even cock your rifle. “ME NEVER SURRENDERS.” (New York Sun } It is one of the best attribues in Gen. Grant’s character, to which he largely owes his success as a soldier, that he nev- er surrenders.— Herald. Nonserise. He surrenders when he is compelled, just like anybody else, He was compelled in the San Domingo busi- ness ; he was compelled in 1854 when he surrendered his commission to escape be= ing court martialled for drunkenness ; and he will be compelled to surrender his third- term insanity in 1876. In the war of the rebellion he would have surrendered if his antagonists had been able to compel him ; but Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Stanton took care that healways had troops enough to save him from that necessity. Grant is a pretty obstiaate man but he comes down when he can’t help it. —— ~a A Big Bigamist. At the recent term of the court at Lan- caster, S.C., Judge Mackey sentenced James Martin, a white man, to six months imprisonment in the penitentiary for the crime of bigamy. In pronouncing sen tence the judge admonished the prisoner in a solemn and impressive manner of the grivity of his crime, closing substantially as iollows: “James Martin, the court is credibly iuformed that you have six wives now living in Laucaster county. The law docs not tolerate such a monopoly, but the court recognizes, as a mitigating circumstance in your case, the fact that you dwell in this vast solitude, and you may thereby have been impressed with the belief that you live in patriarchal limes, and you may thus have multiplied your marriages to relieve the loneliness of the situation, The court therefore impo- ses upon you the mildest sentence per- mitted by the statute, one mouth for each wife.” Dogs. The Piedmont Press says: We ac- knowledge the receipt of a rather long and decidely doggish communication from one of our mountain friends chronicling the untimely and unprofitable end of about 40 fine sheep, the result of one night's operations, by only two canines which their owners refuse to allow to be killed, “because he is worth as much as any cow.” Another, from “A Farmer” calls for a dog tax. Want to raize sheep, but too many dogs—neighbors lost their sheep. This is very bad, but the Attorney Gen- eral says ours is a Dog’s Constitation, the dogs can't be taxed under it. The Legislature is afraid Grant will not let us have a convention to ehange it, and so we fear Grant and the other dogs will take this whole country. ee Too Moca Lanp.--Do our farmers ever take it into eonsideration that one third of the money they have invested in land is worse than useless? Such is the fact. We venture the assertion that fully one half the taxable land is land that yields no revenue to the owner. Our far- mers own too much land—or, at least cul< tivate too little of what they own. Ten acres of timbered land is amply sufficient for 400 acres of cultivated land, and this useless surplus is not only idle money, but is being gradually absorbed year by year in the payment of tux. Much better would it be indeed if our country was di- vided into small, well tilled farms, such as we see in the Eastern and some of the Northern States. Small farms are more productive, less trouble to the owner, and yield a far greater revenue to the State than large ones. Remember this, and try and diepose of your unproductive lands tc those who will cause harvest fielda to bloom where now stands useless forest and earth covered with the wrecks of cen- turies.— Spencer Journal. ~~ THe Hvupson.—The tradition men- tioned in Irving’s History of New York, that the Hudson once flowed west of, and parallel to, the Highlands, seems to be confirmed by a double row of sand_ hills stretching to the southeast from New- bargh along the base of the East Moun- tains, ani through the Ramapo Valley.— These sand bills are from fifty to one hundred feet in height, some being easy swells to the level valley, others standing as it were,on edge against the rocky sides of the mountain, where the East and Schunemank mountains contract the val- iy, e a pass of less than halfy mile in width, With the mouth Sendai: is meio. busiaess in this well earnestly soliots the friends and the stopping. at this House “will find nothing neglected that will add to their vomfort, neither on the of the nor that of the clerk, Mr. D.R.

In the month of February I bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn. On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, I picked 1} ounces the same day—showing’a difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the aumber of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land Without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ; with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounds to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—ehowing a difference of over 600 per cent. I have not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general ranted in making the statement that (iuanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. On one acre of ground, as a test, [ sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani_ broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep.

WILLIAM ML ROBBINS, THE POLICY OF THE REPUBLI- CAN PARTY TOWARD THE SOUTHERN STATES, SPEECH OF NORTH CAROLINA, In tHe House oF REPRESENTATIVES, Wednesday, February 10, 1875. The House being aS a committee of the whole on the State ofthe Uniou— Mr. ROBBINS said: Mr. Speaker, it is undeniable that the policy pursued toward the South since the late war, with the osten- sible purpose of rehabilitating that section and restoring to it prosperity, happiness, and Iness, has resulted in a most lamen-: table fatlare. This is sobstaotfally confes- sed, even by the partisans of the Adminis- tration, in the continual charges they .are making, that the South is full of violence, disorder, and bloodshed, and that there is no security there for the personal and political rights of a large class of the citizens. Re- presenting in part one of those Southern States, [ indignantly repel the accusations of violence and lawlessness put forth against our people, as basely false and slanderous. born either of pitiable igaorance or diabolical hate. But that the course of treatment to which the South has been subjected with a view to its restoration has been somehow or other fatally defective is amply demonstrated by the fact that that naturally fertile aud glor- ious regioollies this day in ruins, while the peo ple, after ten years ot weary waiting and un- told hardships and self-denial, are nut only bankrupt, but profoundly disheartened and dismayed at the prospect before them—in- deed, contemplate the future with less hope and courage than they did on the day of the surrender. Itisasad, fearful spectacle to see an entire people, by nature proud, brave, energetic, and high-spirited, reduced to the verge of despair by poverty, oppressiou, robbery, slander, and the persistent injustice and implacable hatred of the iulers. Such is to-day the miserable situation of those ten millions of white meno who fill that immense domain stretching from the Potomac youder to the far-off Rio Grande. Instead of rebuilding the waste places left by the war, our desolation grows more deso- late ; no progress, DO money, uu accuimula- tion of property. uo upening to enterprise. no Lope. Need we ask who is responsible for all this? ‘here is no difficulty in deter- mining where the responsibility rests. It rests upon the leaders and so-called states- men of the republican party. The close of the war found that party omnipotent in this country. occupying all the departments of the Government, coutrolling the Army, aud haviug, also, prestige of the great victory just won in the tield—a conjuuctiva of favor- ing cireumstances which might have insured tu that party perpetual preduiniuance had not the splendor of its achievements been so soon eclipsed by the magnitude of what I shall eall its mistakes—history will call them crimes. The task of rehabilitating the de- feated States, aud replacing them iu normal relatiups to the rest of the Union, necessari- ly fell iuto the hands of the radical leaders. It was theirs to devise aud execute the plans for this purpose, aud there was noue to say them vay or seriously obstruct them. States- ship never had a grander opportuuity nor , a vubler field iu which to exhibit its resou 6 8° of skilland beneficguce. But behold the fruits. Failure, shameful, wretched failure, is the outcome of it all. The people of the! whole country have said so in the verdict of | utter condemnation they gave in the late electiuus agaiust the republicau party and its policy. In spite of the overwhelming defeat that party has so recently experienced on accouut | of its mistaken course, its leaders here show ! nu signs of heeding the pepular voice, and | the Administration appears more reckless- ly resolved than eyer to push furward in the | path of the usur ation. These men seem! stricken with a fatal blindness, su that they cannot or will not see that their arins are; really destructive to all that the American peuple hold dear. They imagine or preteud , that they are saving the iustitutions of the country, and yet fail to comprehend that those institutions, when transformed as they , seek tuo have them, would really be destroy- ed or not worth saving. For example, they are trying to suspend the writ of habeas cor- puts, in order to secure (as they say) free aud | fair elections, forgetting that the ouly object cred privileges as the writ of habeas corpus frum ever betng suspended. The reasuus which urge the republican’ party forward still j2 its unwise course are | the sae that have led to failure in its whole | policy taward the South. Hi may be useful tu inquire concerning the reasous of that failure. Usball not have time to notice | many of them, but only une or two of the must promiuent. The tirst that I will mention is that the: men who have coutrolied the republican party never did know the South, or under- |! stand its people. Uulike every other politi- , cal orgauizative which has ever existed in’ the United States, the republican party is, aud has beep always essentially a sectional | party—a thing which the Father of his, Country warned the people against in his! farewell address. In its birth that party was sectional. When it acceded to power in 1860 it was exclusively sectional, and the | natural result of its entrance into authority was the hostile array of the two sectious against each other in mortal strife. ‘To this day that party remains sectioual iu its whole spirit aud toue aud leadership, and inaiuly so its composition ; for, with the exception of a small uniuurity uf honest, but poorly-in- formed men, its ouly supporters in the South are the negroes aud carpet-baggers, & few pliable gentlemen who joined its for the sake of office and spvils. During the six years uf Graut’s adiniuistration, ve scutheru man of any race or colur bas occu- pied # place in his cabivet. Instead of giv- ing men of that section a share in the Fed- eral aduvinistration, it has been common to sed northern wen down to fill the offices amoug us, to be legislators and governors fur our States, thus converting them into radical satrapies instead of | self- overning commonwealths. In brief, under the repub- liean party one end of this country governs the other, aud home-rule is utterly ignored. If the nurthern peuple wish to understand how grinding and irritating this is to us let them imagine the tables turned and consider how they would like” to have the people of the Scuth iutermneddling in all their local and domestic concerns ; Watching with a jealous of electious ought to be tu preserve such sa- | and suspicious eye all the mouvements of their social lite; espousing the caase of one class of their population ¢ another ; interfering between cal and the operative in Massachusetts or the employer and the miner in Peansylvania ; recognizing or deposing governors aud setting up or putting down State goyerntnents at pleasure ; imagining all manver of evil concerning them and ever ready to believe the lying stories of their enemies, and renegades ; showering all our favors upon the base and venal among them, or upon corrupt political adventurers whom our own society’ had vomited forth upon them ; driving immigration and capital away by holding them. up to the world ag bratal and barbarous} ing of them commonly as traitors, warderers, and bandits; sending our military officers among them to hector, browbeat, and ;and if ander all these accumulated injuries andinsults they showed the least anger aud resentment, or despair drove them w apy rashneas, feeling all the tyrant rising up ip our souls and long~ ing to cluteh them. by, the throat and crush them iutethe earth as reéel slaves. Look ou this picture, O, men of the North, and tell me, how wonld you like to have it yours? It is ours. Were that condition your own would you believe yourselves living under a free government? Would your philosophy and self-control enable you tobe always cal, always -wise? Would not the American freemen’s soul within you sometimes burst forth in wild passion aud irrepressible rage? Weare learning to bear these things with patience. Patience aud endurauce are our watchwords. and will continue to be so uuder all the provocations of those who apparently geek to madden us that they make the capital out of our exhibitions of just resentineut- Such trials are sore indeed, and would erush the manly spirit of almost any people; but there is a vitality, a fortitude, and a high inet- tle in that magnificent race of southern white men which will, I trust enable them togo successfully through the dreadful or- deal and come vut of the cracible with finer, grander, nobler qualities, aad fitted to stamp their impress upon the pages of future his- tory in characters even more resplendent than those which recurd their past, Because the radical leaders did not know the South, nor the motives and spirit of its action, nor the real temper of its people, they never comprehended the problem they were set to solye at the close of the war. The task of re- storing the Union at that time was far easier and simpler than will ever be believed by those who have so wofully bungled over it. Even assuming that the southern people, in entering upon that great conflict of arms, committed an error of judgment, nevertheless, it is beyond doubt that they were faithful to their solemn convictions of duty; that they were trueto their honest opinions concerning the adjustment of powers under our system of government ; and that they verily believe their cause was the cause of true liberty on this contirent. With this faith in them tens of thousands died for that cause with the purest motives of patriotism, and with the cheerful resignation of martyrs. These are sober truths,, aud I should think the northern people would love to recognize them as such, If they do not, they must judge all those willions of men who are now their coun¢ trymen to be conscious and willful traitors and criminals of the worst type, and surely there woule be small satisfaction in thinking thus of so large a number of those who are fellowciti- zens with them of this great country. On the other hand no one question that those who fought on the side of the Union were likewise honest, partiots, and thoroughly true to. their sense of duty, and the cause of liberty and coun- try as they viewed i, The differences of opin- ion which divided the combatants were as old astthe Government itself. ‘Ley had been de bated bitterly in this very Ha‘l for two genera- tions, but they remained undec:-ded until finally referred to the dread arbitrumeut of arms where each side maintained its views with a heroism and devotioff which struck the nations with awe and shed undying luster upon the American name. The South was overpowered in the fight. Her people gave up forever all | claims of the right of secession, and submitted without repining to the abolition of slavery as having been the immediate occasion of the contest in whichthey were defeated. When the issue was fairly decided by overwhelming, through the force of numbers, their armies in the field. they yielded at once. ‘There never was a great warthat ended so suddenly and left so little resentment in the minds of the yauquished. They might have kept up & guerrilla war for an indefinite period, and bankrupted the continent. But they ieldcd to their fate with that resignation which became a brave and patriotic and Christian people, as they are; for they felt they were surrendering not merely to the bayonets of their adversaries, but to the inserutable decree of the God of battles; and they felt, also, that the welfare of their country required that, if they yielded at all, they should yield without reserve. That people, whose types and leaders were God- fearing heroes, like Jackson and Lee, may have been mistaken, but must have been con- scientious. How easily could the breach betwecn the sec- tions have been healed then by the exercise of magnanimity and wise forbearance on the part of those whojshaped the policy of the victors. Suppose, when the folds of the old flag of our fathers, so glorious with their deeds, floated out over us again, there had come with it the assurance that we were under the zzgis of con- stitutional law and liberty, even as understood by our adversaries when the fight began. Sup- osegit had been said to ua, “You have sought to divide the Union. That never shall be done. Bat, having saved the Union and destaoyed the institution which threatened it, we now in- vite you back to your place under the common \iovernment. Let us forget our strifes and be brothers again, and unite in building up and beautifying our common glorious heritage.” Could there but have been in the rulers of this country the faith and charity to have spoken such words, the wind and waves of sectional conflict would soon have subsided into a great calm. and the people would have wellnigh for- gotten, before this time, the horrors of that strife. I say this knowing as well as any how the defeated felt, fur I was one of those who fought it through to the last, with my whole soul enlisted in the cause, and with no thought of giving it up while there remained a shadow of hope; and the bitterness of defeat wes made more poignant to me by the recollection of many dearest friends fallen in vain. I have heard republicans in this Congress boast of their magnanimity to the South in that they put nobody to death after the war. Well, as L will not be unfair or unjust, L deem it due to say, whatis a matter for universal pride and congratulation, that the American people, both North and South,’ are free from that blood-thirsty temper which marks sume races of men, and which takes delight in blood and butchery for their own sake. History will record with satisfaction the fact that no venge- ful slaughter of vanquished foes added to the rivers of fraternal blood which the war it- aelf had shed. But candor requires the confes- sion that no such slaughter could have occurred except through wanton barbarity, and in con- travention of the law ; for it is, I believe, well understood that even the confederate president was released fron) prison without a trial for treason because the ablest jurist of the courtry gave it as their opinion Goyernment of the United States, haying tri- : that he could not be convicted under the laws of the land; and the | 7 — — umphed in the did not care to risk submitting the questions thereby decided to a new trial a court and jury. Pardon my saying another thing. If the death-penalt had been resorted to, whether by lar fake inthe law-conrts or throngh dram- court- martial, it wonld have been out of the question to put to death the whole southern people, or even any considerabte portion of then. Per-' hape a hundred, or at all events, a thoasand victims would have satisfied a blood-thirsty people, and I Rave already said that the men’ of the North are not of that disposition. Now, )I hope I shall not be-considered as indulging in bravado when I express the deliberate opin- ion that ifthe southern» people could havefore- seen all that has befaliep. the since the ,aur- render—the infinite wrong and ruin, the op- resions, himiliations, petty insults, and: in- cribabte villainies—and had been. offered the choice of aoe all that or, on the other hand, to stand up and abide the casting of the lot, so a8 to furnish from their whole number a thousand men to be offered up as a sacrifice to the wrath of their enemies, hey wotrld have — the latter alternately ea the more mer ciful. Frequent reference is also made in the de- bates here te the liberality which has been shown to the southern men in the removal of disabilities and restoration to the privileges of citizenship. But it ought not to be forgotten that those who now boast of removing disabil- ities first aipoe those disabilities, and for the most selfishly partisan purpose that they might tie the haud of the most intelligent and experienced class of the southern people until carpet-baggers and negroes, backed up by the military, could seize upon the governments of all those States and conteol them for the re- publican party. The manner in which those disabilities were imposed, was also in violation of every principal of justice and liberty, for they werein the nature of penalties laid upon individuals without trial, and for offenses whereof they were never convicted Their op- eration was most unfair and inequitable, for they often fell upon men who had been at heart faithful to the Uuion, while niany of the most active confederates entirely cscaped. Those disabilities were never remoyed until the radical leaders supposed their grip upon “the South was too secure ever to be seriously en- dangered by any opposition. Andnow, when they behold the intellect and virtue of the South once more partially unfettered, and ad- yancing to that supremacy there which those attributes always will and ought to maintain in every community of enlightened people, the Adininistration In Washington becomes profoundly uneasy, because ignorance and dis- honesty are losing control of the South; and at this very moment the most high-handed and tyrannical scheies are being devised here by which new shackles may be puton the limbs cf southern white men, so that the subservient tools of the Administration may be enabled to wriggle their slimy way up again into place and powerin that hapless section. Allthis is done, too, upon the pretext that the South is plotting renewal of the war, whenevery man in America with a spoonful of brains ought to know that such an idea is as preposterous as it would be to expect a velcano to burst out this day on Pennsylvania avence. No; the course of the leaders the of dominant party 1s notand beverhas been m ignanimous to- wardsthe South but tyrannical, unpatriotic, exasperating, and thoroughly scltish. Forone, I have always believed if that kind- hearted man who was dssasinated in. this city on the lith of April, 1865, bad lived to deal with the problem of receustruction, the South would have been generously treated, and would have been bappy and prosperous loug ago. Not that the man who succeeded him in the _known our real ‘tuations and purposes, Presidency was wanting in honesty or faithful- ness to his scnse of duty; but Abraham Lin- coln was the only man able tucontrol the re- publican party who possessed the spirit. of clemency aud charity, There were many other men in high places equal to hun, perhaps, in intelect, but be alone ofthem all seems to have had any soul. O, mj sterious Fate! to quench the warm pulses of that kind heart, and turn us overtoths teuder mercies of bitter, implacable tyrants! Among the causes which have gone far to produce incalculable evils to the whole country, and greatly hindered the elution of the prob- lew of southern restoration, must be specially noted that selfish ambition of the radical lead ers which has prom;t:d, and still prompts them, to Jabor with far more zealfor the per- petuation of their own political assendency than for the welfare of the American people and the preservation of our free institutions. I say the leaders, because I wish itto be well understood that in thisas well as every other point ofiny arraingument of the republican party, I draw a broadline of distinction between the motives of those cadcrs, and of the masses who have followed and been misled by them. I believe in the people, I have an abiding faith iu the uprignt and patriotic impulse of the popular masses, both North and South, in their fidelity tothe principles of free government, and in their wish to do right, ifthey know what right is, and are not misled by demagogues and deceivers L am satisfied that the northern people, and especially those gallant Union soldiers who constitute so considerable a part of that peo- ple, and between whom and us there sprang up eo profound a respect for each othor in the lung and well-fought contest, would never hare sanctioned the unjust aud despotic measures imposed upen the South if they could hare and if ,thoir passions and prejudices had not been ‘ aroused against usby those scheming, daring | | ‘ peace. though the fight was overs plotiers who sought a selfish advantage from these :ectional strife’ and hatreds Itis upon these, and not upon the people whom they have deceived, that my censuresare went to fall. What. words can portray the wickednesss of those who have not allowed the people of \he to bleeding sections of this country tobe at who have kept alive the strife; who have fanned the flames of discord; who bave, for ten long years, been nurturing the seeds of bate, because out of all this wide-spread misery and ruin they could ‘reap preferment of coin geld fur themselves? i ' ! Surely, surely, the execration of posterity and the malgdictione of Heaven must light upon such unparalleled criminality ! — When the subject is looked at closely. it is astounding to perceive how greatly the leaders of the repablican party have been governed in their whule pa.icy by the ainbition to strength- en their uwn grasp apon the reins of power. Common sense might have taoght that, in re- building the scattered fabric of civilinstitutions in the South. those classes of people should have been allowed to bear @ share in the work whose experience and knowledge of affairs fitted them for it. But by the ingenious contri- vance of disfrancbisement aud test-oaths, moxt of those men were banned and excluded from \ the councils of their respective 5! ates and coi- munities at that most trying and important crisis. Why was this done? Simply because those were men of two stubborn and indepen- dent material to become the toulsof the doini- nant party. It is false to say they were ex- cluded because they would have beca danger- ous to the country by forming new laus to reopen the war. Every man ‘knew that this was impossible; and none knew it better thav those who, baving just overthrown the mighty armies of the confederacy, felt. them- selves able to put down, witbout the slightest cffurt, avy new outbreak. No, sir; those men would have built well enough for the welfare and peace of the country, for the restoration of the Union, for the happingse and rerewed prosperity of the defeated States—ay, they were the only men, with afew exceptions, who conld secnre these things—but they would not serve the ends of the radical |caders. If was not bappy. prospero 8, resurrected States vote the radical ticket. A restored Union was | not. the object, but a Union in which the sadi- peal leaders could rule and revel in power and plunéer. _ Fer the same reason the. poor, confiding, segorent freedmen were given the.ballot, all utterly dnp: as they were to use it ex- cept for their own injury and that of the com- munities of which they formed a component part. No impartial’man can deny that the grant of universal suffrage to the cvlored race so soon after their liberation was a most dan gerous experiment, fall of perilto popular gov ernment, fraught with evil to that race itself. and leading to inevitable civil confusion and pecuniary rain in several States. Even its mad authorssbrauk back at first from this measure and confessed it wild and impracticablle. But the need of votes for their party overcame their scruplesand drove them on to perpetrate what I unhesitatingly denounce here, as I have often done elsewhere, as a crime against civil zation, .When I speak thus, I know there are those who will seek to pervert my meanin, and Charged me with hostility to the color le. But I have no such feeling, nor -have those whom I represent here. tween the southern white people and the negroes, with scarcely an exception. there al- ways existed a good understanding and sen- timents of friendsbin and kindly regard. This is incomprehensible to those self-conceited fanatics whose knowledge of southern affairs is not derived from a study of the facts but “evolved from their own inner consciousness” and poisoned with prejudice. No friend of thenegro could fail to perceive that the pererveten of those relations of :outual confidence and benevolence between him and the white people among whom his lot is cast is of the highest importence to him. But these pretended friends of the negro have done all they could to bring about race antagonisms. The negro, when freed and thrown out to shift for nimeelf, needed to to work indust. ious- ly and withour distraction, so as to secure & competency for himself and family. But the radicals diverted him from this :plain road of honest thrift, and made him a noisy, lazy poli- tician, and in too many cases the only thing he does now is to steal and vote, whiie the men he elects to office govern and seal. Suf- frage was given to him, they said, to enable him to protect himself, and now they say suffrage is no protection, but a peril to him; and they propose to pass the most extraordi- nary laws, even going so far as to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, in order‘to secure to the negro his right to-vote. Through snch contra- dictory theories and inconsistent pretexts the devious policy of the radical leaders proceeds, consistent only in this, that its sole and con- stant aim is their own aggrandizement. Instead of fostering peace between the races, so needful to both and especially to the weaker, these selfish men banded the negroes together in secret, oath-bound leaguer, instilled into their minds jealonay and hostility toward the white people, led them to the polls enmasse to vote into office the vilest of men, used them to overthrow the governments and plunder the people of States, to ruin credit, insult decency, and trample out all hopes of prosperity; 10 short, these men have led the negroes to disgrace themselves by their miserable failures in epheres of action for which they were unfit, and also to become, as far as possible, a nuisance to tle com- munities in which they live. In spite of all this, the generous-hearted people of the South, who know the poornegro, do not hate Lin— they only pity him. They know that he is lit- tle to blame for it all, for in his ignorance he has simply been thedeluded tool of designing hypocrities, who told him pleasing lies, but cared nothing for him except to get his vote. One of the great incidental infuries done the negro in this whole business is that he has been taught to depend so entirely on others and not on himself for his advancement—a trait which is naturally prominent in his negative, paras- itical character, and needs to be eradicated and not fostered, if you would make a man of him. Another thing is the wild and extravagant notions that have been awakened in his bosom concerning what is {o be done for him, concern- ing his rights and his wrongs, and his whole relations to be American Government and peo- ple. For example, some of you sedulously in- culeate upon the negro, and try ourselves to believe, that his inferiority in mental and mor- al advancement is the result of his former sub- jection in the South. I have more than once heard the expression on this fluor that the atle. gro has been brutalized by southern slavery.’- It is time for such preposterous and slander- ous nonsense tostop. A century or two ago the negroes went into that slavery, a few utterly degraded, besotted, grub-eating, enake-worship- ing savages. Ten years ago they came out from that yoke, millions of civilized, Christianized men, even able, in your opinion, to help gov- ern this glorious country. Strange “brutali- zing” that! But the negro is kept unhappy and restless with the idea that he isstill a terribly wronged man. Instead of teaching him to use wisely the gifts he has received, yon keep him pining for some great imaginary blessing still ahead, some El Dorado, some Hesperian garden, to which your legislation is to transport him, where the ills which, alas, must always oppress poor humanity, white and black alike, cannot come. I was greatfy struck with this thought the oth- er day during the debate on the so-called “civil rights” bill. One colored member said, “Pass this bill and give my people a chance in the race of life.’ Another said, “(rive us our lib- erties; give us our rights; give us our privileges.” No thought seemed to enter their minds that anything had yet been done for them, or that there was any savor of absurdity or ingratitude in their present clamor. A few years ago those men were slaves, hoeing in some master’s col- ton-patch or corn-field. Now, they are not on- ly freed and made citizens, but promuted to be ruters and law-makers for the proudest nation in the world. If there be a spectacle on earth more transcendently ludicrous than all others itcertainly is to behold a corn-field negro standing upin the Congress of the United States and exclaiming in piteous tones of grief and supplication, “Do give the poor African some chance; give us our rights; give us our liberties.” After what I have said in regard to the folly and absurdity of the policy which has been pursued with respect to the negro, itis proper that I shall add that I know of no serious pur- pose on the part of anybody to deprive the ne- yro of the privilege of voting, or avy other privilege which has been conferred on him.— We do, some of us, think that the Government might wisely cease to bolster up ignorance and incompetency, mainly represented by the negro, stop interfering with the natural order of things and trying to make the pyramid stand on its apex, and allow the virtue and intelligence of the South, at present mainly found with the white race, to resume their normal control in that section. The radical plan is to make slaves of ten million white men for the preten- ded good of four million blacks. Ours, is to ehape the conduct of affuirs that all, both white and black, may be happy and free. Ina word, our principle is “home rule.” Since every other programme has failed, would it pot now be wise to try this? Another grand reason, whieh I must mention but have not time to elabsrate, why the radical policy has failed to restore confidence and {ran- quility to the Svuth and to the whole ccui tyy, is that the Jeaders of that party have Seth se- eretly engaged in revolutionizjpg-ofr Govern- ment inits very essence. iey never have been willing to seg #h® Government re-estab- lished on thebakis whereon the fathers founded |'ly, In the Lnter-Ocean, one of the 12.---WHOLE NO. marvelous thing, and yet 4rue, that. thes a? «prate so much abouy the “life of the’ ment” should be seeking.fo. it : inent organs of radical opihion, 1 re few — since ‘the bold -avowal Sthatie is ig no longer a government founded psc of the people, but a covacuiiee ee force.’ i If i mistake not, the American wm soon demonstrate to everybody that sh ie rer ee apie” Sut rehellamast would make our Government one. has been trying for years to rule Coa eet citizens by force and fear; and if if “could ceed, pray how mugh ‘liberty wou! the land?

Before I ever cante to gress, I longed for the opportunity to —- the people of the North from some evated platform like this, and tell them the real feet- ings and purposes of the sorely-maligned ‘pees ple of my section, believing that, if the popur lar masses of both sections could understand one another, weshould atonce see genuine ‘pénes and friendship restored. This | have eodeav- ored to do on the few occasions during thigterm of Congress when I conld obtain the floor ;at in doing this, you can bear witness that I never have spoken (as I never shall) in the whining tones of the whipped spaniel, but in the inde pendent and fearless spirit of a foremam: represents freemen. We speak ont boldly bluntly our thoughts, because we have ister designs to cover up, and we are too to be treacherous. If everthe time shall come here when I must tune my voice to eoft ascents and speak with bated breath for fear of offend- ing some tyrant, then] shall leave these, hp lls forever, and seeking a home in some quiet core of our mountains, try to forget that I ever iete couutry. ag But, thank God, no suclr evil foreboding is called for now, for the future is brightening, | the old-time spiritof American li is o@ak, ing out of sleep. The great North has ot through the mists of misrepresentation which radicalixm has so long hid the trath og specting the affuirs of the South, and in the fal elections pronounced her emphatic condemna- tion of the men in power. We in the Southam derstand what this means. It means that oor fellow-countrymen of the Northern States are willing to trust our patriotic fidelity to the-com- mon couniry, its institutions, its pragres- sive aims, and its future greatness and glory ; and we are resolved not to disa nt fidence. I am aware that hard trials awelt us, and weshall be subjected to severe temptations.

They have struggled desperately against it, but their strongest argument is that it is better for those whe have to borrow, and for the country pt-large, to pay 12, 15 and 25 per cent. ~jmterest than 4,6, or 8.

Ar iG, CONVENTION. A vote of the Conservative members of she Legielatare in caughs showed 689 for aud only 13 again’t the call of a Con- vention. After this we should think there would be no longer delay on this important question, for surely so small a minority will not assume the grave re- sponsibility of defeating a measure to which the party is pledged. However mach those who compoge this minority may have differed with those who com- pose the majority on the policy or expe- diengy of the measgre, there is no donger a shadow of excyse for holding out after this vote. ‘J'o do po is simply to bolt the party.

Is it not a wonder the Legislature did not proceed at once to call a Convention, as soon as the above was made known to the membere? We confess that we are artonished at their stupidity, obstinacy, insubordination. Whatin the name of all the Gods hag Congress done to make a a Convention more necessary than it was before that body assembled? And so Gov. Vanee has been against Convention all this time. When the people cut loose from selfish politicians and cease to heed them altogether we may hope for better times — not before. eee > We are glad to know that there are good men in this section, who might be appropriately placed with the ‘moneyed men,” who are conforming to the require- ments of the new law and lending out their money at 6 per cent. .We hear of others who have been lending money all this time at 8 per cent. They have here- tofore been regarded as very close, bat they said that 8 per cent was enough for mouey, and that it was as mach as they could conseientiously take. With such men there is no use for Usury laws, since Usury laws are to restrain the cupidity and avarice of such as have no con- science, Aa we have before said, we believe the law will work good to the State, and this has been oar sole object and aim in advo- eating it. Webave no money to lead and do not wish to borrow; but we be-~ came satisfied in ourown mind that ex- cessive Usury at this particular time of general poverty and business prostration, was working great hardship and oppres- sion, hence we resolved to advocate the passage of a Usury law with all the earnestness aud skill we possessed. - We are always frank and pointed in our re- marks, and frequeutly wound without in- tending todo so. Wehave made some enemies and lost some subseribers by oar advocacy of the Usury law; but while we concede the right of all men to their own opinions, and the right of all men to differ with us on all questions of public policy, we can not be deterred from the advocacy of any measure that we believe tg be right or promo- tive of the public good, by the threats or frowns of any combination, party, elique or sect. Wehave no doubt about the honesty of men who have opposed the Usury law, and we bear them no enemity for having differed with us as to its policy. We feel confident that they bave not been hurt, but that we all will be eventually ben; fited by it. ——.-~--— ge - - —— -— THE STATE DEBT. The bill which passed the Senate some ten ays ago, passed its second reading in the House on Saturday, and will be called up on its final reading to day. The majority by whrich it passed is a striking evidence of the readiness of the State to provide for its obligations in proportion to ite ability. It is an emphatic rebnke to the dactrine of repudiation which demagogues have proclaimed, and through which they hope to rise into power. It is an issue which the Democratic party is very wil- ling to meet. It is altogether consistent with the principles it has always acted upon. Pos- sibly it may sacrifice some votes by the -neces- sity it creates for the imposition of a new bur- den of taxation, but it preferred this risk to the loss of the honor and credit of the State. But we believe that ninety-nine hundredths of the Democratic voters of the State will endorse the action of the Legislature. They expected a definite settlement of & question, which has weighed so heavily upon every interest. They demanded to know the worst and be relieved from farther uncertainty, and we believe they will come forward with manly readiness to car- ry out the plans of this Selileenant: And the terms of settlement make the burden a light one after all. The asgregite indebtedness to be represented by new bonds is 803. The amount of interest for the first two years at 3 per cent., is $91,396, 06 pe: year, or 67-20 cents on the $100; for the next three years at 3 per cent., $137,792.12 per year, or 8 3-5 cents on the $100; for the next five years at 4 per cent , $182,792.12 per year, or 10 8-10 per cent. on the $160; far the next 20 years at 5 per cent., $2 8.400.15, or 10 1-3 cents on the $100. —Raleigh News. ~ The above is the coolest big of assu- rance,—we were about to say impudence, —the world has ever seen.

We did not need to be told that the people of N. O. are honest, and ready to pay as far as they are able on all the outstanding just and legal obligations againet them, tor it were an insult to inti- mate the contrary. But to “clap the climaz,” we have this bitof information: “It is an emphatic rebuke to the doctrine of repudjation which demugogues have proclaimed, and throagh which they hope to 1iee into power.” Let’s see if this is true: The so cal}ed pablic debt of this State, interest and all, is set down at about $40,000,000, and it is proposed by the bill referred to, if we understand the News, to reduce this to $4,569,803, that is, Repudiate $35,430,194 of the present so-called State debt. Now, we don’t object to the redaction or repudiation of the Radical fraud, but we do object to self-righteous preverication. It is repu- dition, pure and simple, and why uot call it repudiation and cease to denounce those who bronght it abont by boldly advocat~ ing the repudiatiou of the monstrous fraud and swindle. How does the News know that the Democratic voters will sustain the measure? If they are opposed to repudiation they will not do it. Does the Legislature reflect the views of the Demo- cratic party of North Carolina? This question has not been settled, aud can not be until that body calls a Conven- tion. Talk about this beiug a settlement, a compromise ? According to the showing of the News it is all a onessided measure. The creditors have not yet acceded to the terms proposed, and withont their assent the bill will prove a dead letter. If it should become a law however, and prove acceptable to the creditors concerned, those who have had the conrage to advo~ cate repudiation are entitled to all the eredit. ‘bey were actuated by the pur- est motives. They felt satisfied that there was no chance to cffect a compro- mise with the desperate men who were gambling in the bonaa of the State, except by urging the repudiation of all fraudulent and illegal claims ; they believed that this was the moat effectual way to protect the people, stop the trafic, and prevent similar fraude in the future. ‘Time has shown that they were correct, and the very fact that such a bill as the one referred to above has passed the Senate, is an evidence of the triamph of their views. Of course the self-righteous saints who are too nice to call things by their proper names, will insist that they have brorght about this change in North Carolina, notwithstand their whiffling, shuffling, in- difinable and ambiguous policy as it respects the settlement of the State Debt. If we were publishing a paper at the capital, and were assured that we were backed by the Legislature, the Democratic party and the moneyed rings, we might feel big and assume to talk ex cathedra too ; but as we are confined to the rural districts we can not be expected to know every thing about the Legislature, just what the party will do, or entertain cor- rect views on Usury. LITERARY AMUSEMENT. Mess. Epirors:—Please allow me space in your highly esteemed paper for a synopsis of the closing Exercises of Mrs. J. K. Graham's School. ‘The examination took place on Thars- day the 4th day of March, before quite a large crowd of persons; who were highly gratified to see the promptness and accn~ racy with which the bright lads and lasses answered the questions propounded them by the audience as well as the teacher. Bat owing to the inclemency of the weather for over a week preyious, a gaeat many of the scolars could not attend regularly, and consequently tbey were not 8o well posted in all their studies as they would otherwise have been. But no one who was an eye witness could say that either teacher or pupils bad misimproved or wasted much—if any time. At 12 0’clock our kind and gener- ous Lady Friends—remembering their most noble mission—to gratify man— brought forth scores of buckets and bas- kets, well filled with the richest, and most delicious delicacies, which not only indicate a prosperous, enterprising and generous people, but it more particularly, and uamistakably shows, as a_ sign-board on the highway to connubial felicity, the grand and praiseworthy accomplishment of our tair and blooming maidens in the culinary art. After the table was well supplied with the laxuries of our happy bomesr, the school marched to the table and they, together with the entire audi- ence, spent about one half and hour very profitably ; and they all readily adopted the language of one of old, “it is well for us to be here.” Exercises were resumed about 2 o'clock; we were greeted by the exquisite music from our worthy young men, composing the “Western Rowan String Band.” The programme for the evening was Speeches and Compositions, which were not only jovial, but really ingtructive and impressive. At 4 o'clock the audience was dismissed to reassemble at early candle-lighting. The few short bours of intermission were very pleasantly, and doubtless very profitably spent by the young men especially. I imagine there were not a few “soft words” passed be- tween lovers in their evening walk.

Que scene after another, and another were: played or aeted, to the terrible destruction of buttous and belts, until the andience, being so crowded had to stand up generally, were tired out with so much langhing.

Bat I muet not forget to mention the new ecene—“The - Pretty Bouquet of Roses.” I would do injustice to the eweet aud lovely faces which composed our Bougnet, were I to omit the compliment prevjously an- faney it was as pretty a scene and as nice a colleetion of “Sweet‘sixteens” as I evr looked upon; would that I could bave had a photcgraph of the Bouquet ta- ken. - But time and spacé prevents me from making any further fumarks—allow me to aay, that all things, being considered, it was qnite a success in ths way of Lit- erary Amusements. © All things passed off pleasantly and agreable to all parties, with much honor to both teacher and pupils.

RNA RE A PRR NR RN FR THEGREAT A NFAGONIST OF DISEASE’ What is the natural antagonist of disease ? Tt is the vital principle. From the moment that disease is developed in the system, this champion fights the intruder until it either conquers or is conquered. ' Which side should struggle ? Should it depress and cripple the physical energies of the patient, thereby help- ing the disorder, or ahould it reinforce the vi- tality of the patient and t®ereby assist in quell- ing the ailment? Of- course the proper an- swer to this question must be obvious to every one above the grade of an idiot or a lunatic, and hence it fullows that the weak and broken invalid who chooses to dose himself with de- pleting slops,tinstead of toning, invigorating and vitalizing his enervated frame with Hos- tetter’s Stomach Bitters, must be either feeble minded of deranged. Surely nothing short of imbecility of insanity could induce a person laboring under bodily weakness and nervous prostration, to take day after day powerful doses of some drastic purgative in the hope of gaining strength thereby. Although charlatans may advertise preparations of this character as tonics, people in the full possession of their reason can not, one would think, accept them as such. If they do the penalty of their cred- ulity may be the shortening of liyes. The rheumatic, the dyapeptic, the bilious, the de- bilitated and nervous, and all who are subject to intermittents, or other diseases brought on by the inclement whether which prevails at this season, will do well to strengthen their nerves, tone their stomachs and _ regulate their bowels with the Bitters. The two-fold opera- tion of the restorative as an invigorant and an aperient, in addition to its direct and specific effect npon the disordered liver. renders it a most efficient remedy for complaints of the digestive, secretive. and excretive organs, at present in use. This fact is conceded by emi- nent members of the faculty whore testimony to that effect is published in Hostetter’s Ala- nag for 1874. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. 60 cts Per QUART.

O— Mr, J. A: BROWN, Agent for Navassa Ggano 5 Saxissury, N. C. Dear Sir: I take pleasure in giving vou the following statement in regard to the Navassa Guano, which I have been using for the! prst two years under cotton on my farm’ In 1873 I used one ton at the rate of 200 lbs. per acre, leaving one teat row foreach acre. The final result was 900 per cent. mure ectton, and near- ly 200 per cenit. on oiuney, invested. In 1874 (last year) I used ‘one ton and a half, applied: it as in 1873, and the final result was 640 per cent. more cutton. Not caring a fig who uses it or who don’t, who says it pays or who don’t, or who believes my report or who don’t, I expect to continue to use it so long as it is kept up to its present standard.

Ou Monday night they presented “East Lyune,” which was acted out in admirable spirit. Clara Wildman possesses un- doubted talent, and in the death-bed scenes her acting was simply true to life, and drew tears from many an eye. “Corny Carlyle’—Mre. Collins— brought down the house repeatedly. The eutire support was good, though we thought Barbara Hare, might have been better portrayed. Allin all, it was such an exhibition of the chaste, legitimate drama as one seldoms sees now-a-days, and as such was enjoyed by all pres- ent. ‘The farce with which the preformance concladed, “I'he Yankee Pedler,” was simply glorious. Mr. F. J. Wildman’s personation of the “Yankee” was superb, and displayed a high order of talent. On Tuesday night they played “The Lady of Lyons,” but we were unable to be present. We learned from those pres- ent that the Company fully sustained its high repatation. Wednesday night they played “Ten Nights in a Bar-Room”’ with fine effect, and te-night (Thursday) “Rip Vau Win- kle’”’ will be put on the boards.

Is Brooklyn Morality Declining. From the Hartford Times. Since the beginning of this terrible Beecher bueiness, things have been going from bad to worse. It is crim con., di- yorce, separation, alimony, pretty much every day, aud the crop steadily increas- ing atthat. Six divorce cases have been in court since the Beecher trial began, and all the parties belong to the best 8)- ciety. Itisonly in good society, as a rule, that marital infelicity rans rapidly | tu litigation, husbaud or wife rushes a court for release from matrimouia! bonds. The rush in Brooklyn hae led one of the Judges to declare that something must be done to stop it. For some time past the custom has been to send suits for divorce or separation before a referee, who gener- ally hears both sides in secret, aud it has been found that the secrecy of the ex- amination serves as au inducement to dis- satisfied couples to seek hasty emancipa- tion. Oue of the Brooklya Judges referred to this matter the other day, when a case change would have to be made. For his own part he thought he would stop sending divorce and separation cases to referees, for the practical plainly led to a great iu- crease of such cases. Undoubtedly it doer. If glaring publicity were a certainty iv every suit fur divorce, bLuasbands and wives who wapt to get away from each other would not be quite 8» ready to ia- voke the law. ~~ - THR Sarispory WartrcamMan.—We weleome te -onr-exe'rmange list this old reliable journal, We have known the Carolina Watchman e e- since we knew ourself.

A pamphlet of the Anti-~Monopoly Ass ciation of the Pacific Coast charges that by collasion between a San Francisco bouse and the Russian Agent, before the transfer of Alaska, the rights of the Russian Fur Company were bought ; that by bribery in Congress the exclusive privilege of killing seals on Islands of St. Paul and St. George was granted to the same firm, and that by the connivance of the United States revenue officers both at San Fran cisco and at Sitka, the same firm has driven off by vexatious delays all compet- itors, aod their agents are virtually mas- ters of Alaska. Tuotit we reach another face. oR: SS A Stiver -Minz—A newspaper cor dent: asked Senator Jones, of Nevada: » How are we to account for the fiactnations in the shares of the Nevada mines?

Vot I Care a Damn for Dot Bank. {Savannah Advertiser.) One of our merchants who does busitése in the vicinity of the market while North purchased guvds to the amouut of $500, for which he gave hie uote. In due course of time the note matured and was protested fur nonpayment. A few days since the New York merchaut came to this city and called on his customer to make some arrangement with the Savane nah merchant, wheu the following cunversa- tiun took place : New Yorker—Well. Mr.——,what about that note ? Savannah Merchant—Vell, vot you do wit dot note? N, Y.—I put it in the bank and had it discounted. Sav. M.—Vell, dot ish all right. N. Y.—Yes, that was right, but ycu must take care of the note. Sav. M.—Vell, now, why you spend your monish to come see me? I got dosh govts, you got dosh monish from dot bank, avd dot bavk got dot note. Now, vat the tyvil I care a damn for dot bank? ee ee Keep Your Freer Warm.—To keep these extremities warm is toeffect an in surance against the almost interminable list of disorders which spring out of a “glight cold.” First, never be tightly shod. Boots or shoes, when they fit closely, press against the foot, and pres vent the free circulation of the Llood. When, on the contraty, they do not em- brace the foct too tightly, the blood gets fair play, and the spaces left between the leather and stocking are filled with a com- fortable supply of warm air. ‘I'he second ruleia, never sitin damp shoes. It is often imagined, that unlees they are posi- tively wet, it is not necessary to change them while the feet are atrest. ‘This is a fallacy ; for when the least dampness is absorLe.l into the soul, it is attracted fur- ther to the fuot itself by its own heat, and thus perspiration is dangerously checked. Any person may prove this by trying the experiment of neglecting this rule, and his feet will become cold and damp after afew moments, taking off the shocs and warming it, it will appear quite dry. —_——- a> A Foa Plantation. Tals is a very pretty sight; when seen at a distance it looks like a shrubbery of ever- greens, the leeves of the plant being of a rich dark greeo. Green tea is maltipliéd by seeds which are ripe in October; when gathered they are put into a basket and mixed with sand and earth in a damp state. and kept in this condition till Spring. In March the seeds are taken from the basket aud placed in the ground. They are sown thickly in rows in some spare corner of the tea farm. After picking, green Jeaves are spread out thickly on flat bamboo twigs to get rid of their moisture; they ure then placed in roasting-pans, aud rapidly moved about and shaken up with both hands. When affected by the heat and flaccid they are placed on a rolling table. Several men then roll the balls to get rid of the mvisture and twist the leaves. ‘Chey are then shaken out on flat trays, after which they are taken to the roastiug-pan and thrown in again. The second part of the process consists in winnowiuy tue tea through sieves iu order to get rid of dust, and to divide the tea into “Gunpowder,” ‘Hysou,” *’Pwankay,” Ke. The process of curiug black tea is about the sutne, only the leaves are permitted to lie longer after picking, and are tossed in the air aud beaten by the bands. The Chinese never color teas for themselves. It is en- tirely done for the fufeign market.—The (London) Garden. a . Legal Advertising [Raleigh News. ] It his occurred in the experieuce of alinost every oue—au experience kept bright by daily observation. Nat property is suld for far less than its value. that sales are made aud titles passed for property worth, often- times tenfold the price it brought, aud ‘this, too, when the transaction was perfectly legal, and when all the forms of the law had been complied with, Why was thisso? Because such sales, though nominally public and advertised as the present laws now require. are in reality private, without the stimulus of competition, and bringing just such prices as suits the conveuience of the few bidders present. Estates are defrauded, debtors fail to be relieved by the sacrifice of their prop- erty, aud a few watchful men absorb the property of a county at merely nuuinal rates. : It is in justice to this class of cases that the law is proposed to apply, It proposes to require all such notices of sales. &e., as are now required to be advertised by manu- script notices to be priuted in some news- paper published in the county in which the sale or other transaction is to be made. Where there isno paper published, the pre- seot mode may still obtain. The cust of pablication is not to exceed the regular charges of advertising: There is really no additional expense ineurred, for the iacrease in value given by publicity will vastly more jthan compensate for the charges of advertising. This is the opinion of many lawyers, sheriffs, clerks of courts and others whose experience is large and whose opinions should be heeded. , ~~ Advertisements are the quiet solicitors who never intrude, but who never fail to make themselves known, and are seen and remembered despite the will of the readcr who could not ferget them if he would. -_ Oe a ot The lead Pg out 1 oP Scie i Mag IS — 7 ie oi tAM ers sate Fertilizer: “ beet ¥ - t arolina. 4 ¥ CASH PRICES ¢50 00 PER TON OF "2,000 POUNDS. © TIME PRICE $58 PER 2,000 ibs. paya- ple Nov. 1.

In offering this FERTILIZER to the Agricultural Community a Second Season we do a0 with the utmost Confidence, feeling, satisfied that the high opinion, we ,formed, and expressed last season based on its Chemical Constituents have been most satisfactorily borne out by the test, by which all Fertillizers must be judged, that of the Plantation, Last season, owing to the lateness at which we commenced importing we were forced to put our Guano on the market at once, but now having continued our importations during the sum- mer and fall, and having large and well ventilated Warehouses in this City and City Point, we are enabled to put our Guano on the market, in a condition as to dryness, and freedom from lumps, equal to any Manufactured Fertilizer. We solicit a careful persual of our Circular containing the certificates sent us, and which can be had on application at this OFFICE, or from any of our AGENTS. Having nothing to con- ceal, we made an innoyation on established usage, ie publishing those letters received unfavora- bie to our Guano, but careful inquiry in many cases proves that the cause of its failure was not owing to any fault in the Guano, but to those far beyond our control. We have frequently heard the same complaints of its kindred Fertilizer, Peruvian Guano, but the concurrent testi- mony of well known Farmers and Planters from Maryland to the extreme Western counties of North Curolina, justify us in claiming a place for our Fertilizer Superior to many, and Second to None.

C., October 10th, 1874. Measrs Meroney & Bro. Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of the Guanahani Guano, I will state that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in use in our country. In the month of February I bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton,'and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn. On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which J had applied no fertilizer, I picked 1} ounces the same day—showingsa difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre; with Guanahani it will yield 12 poundg to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—showing a difference of over 600 per cent. I have not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. On one acre of ground, as a test, I sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani broadeast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstances, has average 700 pounds of sced cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds E. A. PROPST. Davie Co., N. C, Messrs Meroney & Bro. _ GENTLEMEN :—In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of Guanahani Guano, I would sa that I used it last Summer on an old field which would have produced very poorly under ordir nary circumstances but which under the application of Guanahani yielded mea very good crop. I had one test row and this showed a difference of over three hundred per cent. in fayor of the Guano. I am satisfied that it is a good Fertilizer and take pleasnre in recommending it to every far- mer who wishes to increasehis crops as being fully equal if not superior to any Guano on the market.

Tate at nighttwo women knocked at my door, and begged that I would come in aud eeeadying child, I went with them to the close, hot room up stairs in a tenement house and found there six or seven neighbors, all womeu but one,: crowding around a little cradle in which lay an infant ofa few months. The sign of death waa sect upon the round, smooth face and the glassy eyes were turning up- wardas if to penetrate the unseen, but the restless moveweut of the little hands and oce¢asional faint cry from the lips througli which breathing was almost im~ preceptable, showed that the spark of life | still lingered. ‘The mother knelt beside the cradle, and cooled the hot brow, or moistened the parched lips with ice, work- ing with all a mother’s tender love for the child that was slipping away from her with every moment. I spoke a few words of comfort to the mother, and then asked her if there was any special service that I could render. “Yes,” said she, “I haye done every thing for her that a mother can, but one thing, and that I have neglected till now; I want to consecrate her to God.” I told her that the child was then pass~ lng away. “Yes,’’ said she, “I know it, but I want to give up before she is gone.” I asked, “Do you think it will save the child to baptize her ?” “No,” she replied, “but it will be the last duty that I can do by her, and please, sir, don’t let me leave it undone.” It was no time for farther words and so in the close room, with sobs breaking: from sympathising neighbors, the little; babe was dedicated to God by the kneel- ing mother in words unspeakable solemn | and tender; was sealed by the baptismal rite and commended to the loving care of a heavenly Father, and to Jesus, who said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me.” | Then the mother leaned over the cradle, ' and smoothing the thin hair from the pallid forehead, said with a pathos indes- cribable “Mother’s done all she can for you now, little Alie, she will stay while you go down to the river, but the blessed Jesus will take you over.” A brief silence which seemed an age of waiting, then a little gasp, a small parting of the lips and the little one had | crossed the river, aud was forever with the | Lord. The mother’s duty was all done, and, her beart, though grief-stricken, was at rest. But are there no mothers, who, if their little ones were taken suddenly | away, have to mourn for many undone duties? ‘There are those who hardly know their children till they are grown; there are those who only think of the care and labor which children bring to them; there are some who have no thought for the spiritual welfare of those most dear; but how few could say, “I have done everything for her that a mother can, but ——_ _ ~—»-—--—— Treatment of Horses.

North Carolina may now gotothe States; no ; or impolitic enactment was ever placed on the pages of a statute book. Because a cap- italist yields to the importanity of a berrow- er. and relieves him by a loan at the market rate, he must forfeit twice the amount he lent, and be fined besides, if such rate hap- pens to be more than eight per cent. per annum ! When the bank of England puts its rates at ten per cent. per annum, and money is worth one per cent. a month in New York, no man in North Carolina can lend his mon- ey to people of his own State at the market rate without violoating the law. We all kuow that this statute will be a dead letter. The usury laws are inoperative everywhere in the way of restraint upon high rates. In fact, they tend in every case to increase the rates, and they are no protection whatever to the honest poor, as they are never plended in the courts exeept asa cover tu fraud or disreputable dealing. We wish that they were strictly enforced, fur then they would be repealed everywhere at the earliest op- portunity. If borrowers found that the momeut the current rate was above the le- gal limit all lending stopped. or was confined entirely to such cases as the lenders might be willing to accept at the lower figures, they would see the folly and injustice of the attempted restraint, and free trade in muney would be restored But we wish to say a few words upon the puints submitted by our correspondent, who is an officer of a Jeading bank : Winmineron, N. C., Feb. 24. Editor of the Journal of Commerce : Pleace be kind enough to answer me through your papers : 1. Wheter in the State of New York and other States in which there are stringent usury laws forfeiting principal as well as interest, national banks ave exempt from the penalties. 2. Whether there are different decisions in differeut States on this question ? 3. If there have been directly opposite de- cisivas in different States, why have not the cases been carried to the United States Supreme Court for final decision ? The above questions are prompted by the fact that. the members of the Legislature of this State have just turned savages by pass- | ing the enclosed law, which is more stringent | than any other State usury law; and the | friends of the bill claim that they cau reach national banks with it as well as State banks ; can they do so? AnTI-Usury. 1. In this State the Court of Appeals has ; decided that the penalties of the State usury law do apply to the uational banks, although Congress, the National Bank aet provided a ‘ case, that the extreme penalties of our stat- much milder penalty for those institutions. ‘It bas also gone much further, for in the case | of the Farmers’ Bauk Fayetteville, respon- ‘dent, v. Mark Hale et al.. appellants, it de- cided (Church, Chief Judge, giving the opin- iou,) that the State banks are subject to the same penalties, notwithstanding a special stat ute applying to a milder system to such State organizatious. This statute was based upon the belief that the act of Congress relieved the national banks from the penalties of the ‘State law. The Legislature therefore ap- | plied the provisions contained in the act of Congress to the State bauks, declariug that ‘it was the purpose of the statute to place State institutions on au equality in this res- | pect with the national banks. The Court of Appeale then decided first, in a given ute ; and, when a State bank was afterward brought up, the same Court declared that as the law places State banks ou an equality with the national, they too are still subject to the old requirement. 2. There have been different decisions in other States. The most noticeable, in the case of the Cevtral National Bank New York v Pratt, before the Supreme Court of Massachusetts (115 Mass 539), wherein the case first alluded to above (First National Bank of Whitehall v. Lamb. 50 N. Y. 95) is brought forward only to give puint to au adverse opinion. The Massachusetts Judge (Morton) deciares that ‘notwithstanding the great respect we have for that emiuent trib- unal (New York Court of Appeals) we are unable to concur in the conclusions it has reached.’’ The court then decided that only the penalties of the national act applied to the national banks. This, let it be remem- bered, was nota Massachusetts case, for that State is free frown such odious restraints on mouey lending, but a New York case, gov- erned by New York law, bat tried in a Mas- sachusetts court. That court took the re- sponsibility of interpreting our law in opposi- tion to the desision of our highest court. In Ohio the same conclusion was reached in the case of the First National Bank of Columbus v. Garling-bouse, 10 Am. Rep. 751 ; 22 Ohio St. 492. -The same diversity is found iu the decisions of other States, but the preponderance favors the Massachusetts decision. 3. The cases caunot be carried into the Supreme Court unless they are between the citizers of different States. The Usury laws are fuunded on ignorance and prejudice. They are unjust in principle, totally inequitable in their application, and everywhere operative only as a protection to fraud and dishonesty.” We copy the above from the Wilmington Star in order that our readers may see in what esteem the North Carolina Legislature and the people, who go with that budy, are held by the president of a bank and the New York Journal of Commerce, as well as for the information it contains. The presideut of the bank, in his letter to the New York paper, declares that the mem- bers of the Legislature turned ‘‘savages, when they passed the usury law. We suppose all mouey lurds who have grown fat and sleek on interest at from 18 to 30 per ceut., will ae eee gee ee Soa onenenmneennnianeetine capital, who look this matter in the face aiid —ee of such high rates apou the country. : ; The Journal of Commerce, no doubt, be- lieves itself to contain all the polite learning aud wisdom ofthe age, and that the very lator and people ofthe cone differ rs an e » who di with it on vhis subject, are, in the la’ of the bank officers, *s: or, in- own phrase, inflnenced by ~ignorance and rejudice,” and that the enactment is “a digas 1A greg Lila : proper sentiment of the age,” and “North Carolina may now go to the head of barbaric States.” No — a are those nearer- home who entertain the sentiments expressod by the Journal of Commerce. : Now we think the legislators who the usury law and the press which advocated it and the people who favored it will survive the declarations of the bank president and organs of money cliques. We hope the law will be vigorou yevtoroed. and feel sure, if it the cauatry, instead ef | ‘borrowed capita! at big _ rates, contin-. ually growtg poorer, will confine itself within its own means and go to improving, and that capital, unable longer to demand and obtain such rates as is almost universally ruinous to those borrowing and consequently detrimental to the State, will find empluy- ment in investments in agriculture and man- ufactories, which will build up, rather than impovish the country. As to the legal question, we ouly have to say that, for t e public weal, we hope the decisions of the New York courts may be the law, and so declared by the United States courts whenever a case is preseuted,—Dup- lin Record. a Important to County Officers. Mr. Pinnix, of Davidson, a few days since introduced a very important bill to the House of Representatives, which pass- ed its several readings in that body Fri- day without a dissenting voice. It will doubtless pass the Senate with a like unanimity. It provides for the safe keep- ing and rigid d@tcounting for the funds of the several counties in the State. Sheriffs, Treasurers, Clerks of the Superior Courts, Registers of Deeds and all coynty cficers iuto whose hands any moneys may come by virtue or under color of thie offite, are required to make an annual report, under oath or verified, signed and addressed to the chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, giving an itemized and detailed statement of all moneys that have come into their hands, from whom received, the date received and the amount in de tail. Also how disbursed, the time, amount and to whom paid and on what account, &c. The reports are to be made on the first Monday in September in each year. If they fail todo so the County Commissioners are required to begin suit on their bonds at once. When the reports are passed upop the Chairman endorses on it ‘approved,” the date of thea val aud signs it. The Regieter is then to register itin a book entitled. ‘Record of Official Roports,” furnished to him by the Secretary of State, index it in the book, mark on the back of it the date when registered, the page of the book on which it is registered and sign his name and file it in his office. If any reports be made which the Commissioners disap- prove, they shall compel a proper report to be made in the same manner as if no report had been made. It will be observed that by the provis- ions of this important billevery safeguard is thrown around the finances of the sever- al counties. Any tax-payer or other person who desires to kuow the condition of the finances of the county or whishes to see whether any officer has properly discharged his duties, can examine the “Record of Official Reports’ and by aid of the index soon find the reports record ed, or le cau fiud the original on file.— Raleigh News. ———___ +20 @—__ _—— THE BEAST AND HIS BAD LUCK. The Beast has had bad luck recent- ly. . McLean, of Texas, went for him tell- ing Lim he was a marderer. Jonn Youna Brown, of Kentucky, told him he was pusillanimous in war, inhuman iu peace, forbidden in morals, and infamous in politics. BualrnE, of Maine, no longerago than Saturday night, told him he was a “damn- ed scoundrel.” And now comes PoLAND, of Vermont, an elegant old gentleman of the old school, who wears a blue swallow-tail coat, with brass buttons, and in language strong but less elegant than his dress tells the Beast that he is a “damned liar.’’ Here is what PoLAND said : The Washington correspondent of the Tribune gives a verbatim report of a col-~ loquy between General Butler and Judge Polaud during the Wednesday night session of the House of Representatives. Butler had impudently said to PoLanp that he did not believe that the latter had any desire or intention to bring up his Arkansas resolution. The conversation then proceeded in this fashion: Judge Poland—You have no right to say that. What evidence have you ? General Batler—None, perhaps ; but I believe it. Judge Poland—I don’t believe that you believe what you say you believe. General Butler—I do believe it. Judge Poland—I believe that you are a damned liar. General Butler—My courage, sir, has never been impeached. I am quité able to resent an insult like that. You had better be careful. Judge Poland—I don’t think that I have much courage, but I have quite enough for the occasion. Not mueh is needed. Pusillanimous, inhuman, infamous, mar- echo the sentiment.

I think lime will do no on light loam or sandy soil, but it makes stiff soils friable, and they feed the crops better. _ 3 How to Make Corn on “Poor, Upland.”’ (Southern Cultivator.) * * * Th ® What I state is no guess work with me;,+ I have tested the modus operandi that I recommend, As his land is adapted to_ cotton rather than corn, I infer that it is ~ inclined to be stiff, with perhaps a ela substratum. He should then first lay. his rows 64 feet wide, with a long 6 or.7 . inch scooter. Then on each side of this furrow ran 4 more, with a long 4 ineh scooter, as deep as the mule can well. draw it, leaving no space between furrows » not thoroughly broken. When ready for planting run a deep furrow with ten ingh shovel, right in the centre of the ploughed. land, which will be where the first furrow wasrun. This shovel should have an ear, about 14 inches long on the two top corners right and left, to prevent the dirt: from falling back into the fusrow. He will then have a deep open furrow to re- ceive his seed corn and fertilizer. Drop the corn from 3} to 4 feet apart in the bottom of this furrow; scatter a’ heavy sprinkle of compost made of cottom seed and swamp or pond muck in the bottom of the furrow upon the corn ag well as between the corn. Rotten straw, and leaves will do as well or better, mix~ ed with the cotton seed, than the muck -- I much prefer to sprinkle my manure uniformily aloag the drill, instead of. . ting it in handfalls close to the corti= am ~~ the former case, the corn will drought much better, and will have ma- nure to feed upon when earing. It wilt not make as much stalk and fodder but more corn, than if put in bulk in proximity with the seed. Cover the corn and manure with the same furrow, made by « small bull tongue scooter, being sure to run it inside of the large furrow, but not so as to upset the seed ormanure. Toran the covering furrow inside of the large furrow is yery impor. taut. As soon as the corn is planted, .be certain to turn back immediately and break the middles left, with a turning shovel, or iv licu thereof, with an Alleg plough, having the point bent down, 80 that it will go well into the soil. The coru will come up in a ditch, as wy neighbors say. Wait till it gets or twelve inches high, before you plo it. Then sideit deeply with a six or seven incl scooter, or one a little narrow~ er, if necessary. Run two furrows on each side with this plough, tumbling a large amount of dirt around tbe corn, apd coys ering up allthe youug grass. It need no hoeing.—Burst out the wan of the middle deeply with a lough, which will leave your corn in: a Fitute hollow or ehallow cradle and in) the right condition for the sweep. The second ploughing should be done with 2 21 inch sweep: broad wings, and the right one so constructed as to throw dirt to the corn.

PR APpUCanOn. ee (te A most remarkable meteorological benomenon occurred the Western paburbs of thia city on last Monday even- ing. As stated in another place, three houses, situated in a low secluded spot and surrounded onal! sides by rising ground, were suddenly struck by a gust of wind or tornado, during the prevailence of the thunder storm last Monday evening, and completely demolished. It was the work of a moment. ‘The houses were gained in the twinkle of an eye and thrown $0 ieces in the utmost confusion around. A gentleman likens the confusion of the puine to prioters pi. ‘T’o those who do pot kaow what printers pi is, we will say that it ia the most perfeet confusion and gaixture of odds and ends that can be im- agined. Neither the approach nor de- parture of the mysterious power can be traced, [t seems to have fallea like a pomb on the houses referred to, scattered them and like Samson perished in the yuins. he inmates, all colored, escaped aninjared and unhurt, with the exception ot a child which was paintully if not seri- ously hurt. in RESTRICTED CONVENTION. The Convention bill pending before the Legislature propases to allow the people to have a Coavention on certain condi- tions, that is, they are to be restricted in certain essential partieulars. In other words, the people through their Legisla- ture say to themselves assembled in Con- vention that the old order of things must be reversed; that the action of the creature mugt hind the creator, and that the crea- tor can do nothing without the the creature. Such stupidity pf the present Legislature. It is admitted on all hands that there jsno body in this country so completely embodying all the elements, the very consent of ig worthy essence, of sovereignty as a Convention of the people ; yet thia first cauee of republi- gan government is to be trammeled by a pettifogging Legislature which is a mere oft-shoot of the republican form. If the Legislature can bind the action of the Convention, what is the necessity of calling a Conyention at all? Why not let the Legislature proceed to do the work of a Convention? Lat there is no such power given the Legislature by the Constitution. ‘The Legislature will have reached the limit of its constitational fanctions when it shall have passed a bill by a two-thirds majority, providing for ’ the election of delegates toa Convention. It is, we believe, a settled principle that no existing Legislature can bind the ac- tion of a succeeding one; Surely then uo Legislature can restrict the action of a Convention. If the Convention bill were to be sub- mitted to the people and they were to ratify it by agreeing to or endorsing the restric- tions proposed, then delegates elected to the Convention would feel bound to re- eognize them as valid, but under no other circumstances or for any other reason. {t would be fcolish and over cautious for the people jo do such a thing, as it would amount to instractious ou their part, and in this sense might be regarded as bind- ing. Bat we think it very questionable whether delegates ia Convention assem- ble even under these, or in fact any cirs e 1m«' snces, are legally bound to regard restrictiv..s ‘hat may have been attempted to be imposed upon them. In case the Convention bill passes in its present form, we don’t suppose any pne will feel himself bound to observe it in the least, sv far as the restrictions are goncerned, . [SF ‘We publish to-day the comments of the New York Journal of Commeree, a letter of a certain bank president, Xc., to show the iusolence of the money clique. The editor of the N. ¥. Journal of Com- merce, who is a fit representative of the tools aud hired pimps of the moneyed men of New York City, would bave us believe that he glone is capable of coms prehendiog the Usury question ; that he knows more about it than any body else, and that all who do not subscribe to his, paid for utterances, are iguorant savages: The assurance, the ingolence of the con- temptible ass is the more apparent, when we take into consideration the fact that there ig not que State in the Federal Union that conforms to his idea of uspry; but one that opproaches it, while all the others have usury laws. Are tbe people of all these States ignorant savages, sim- ply because they will not pass such laws as will give the moneyed rings the oppors portunity to rob and oppress them ? Such js the idea of the pampered tools of the would be moneyed oligarchy of this country, and their ideas are re» echoed by every little strut who wants fo borrow five dollars or who glories in the privilege of having some rich man whom ‘he cau call boss ~some one who,has lent him a few dollars at usurious rates or put him in business with the understanding that le is to have not only the biggest half of the profits, but the services of his tuul at all times. Such ig the editor who writes for pay—such is the man who sells his eoul and manhood, for the poor privi- lege of serving the rich, merely because they are rich,—and such are ali they who | imagine that the great body of the people | are ignorant savages, because they will | not consent to be robbed in a ceremonions jway. We would rather be an ignorant igavage than be capable of selling our | principles and wanhood for the poor priv- ilege of having a boss. Our standard of greatness is based on honesty and intel ligence. And who is the bank president who thinks people savagea whea they refuse to be robbed by the forms of law ? We would like to be able to give his uame to our readers Also. Now, the fact is this sort of presump- tion and insolence produced communism in Europe, labor-strikes avd bread riots in this country; and it will continue to | produce them, as lorg as there is such a spirit of intolerance manifested on the part of those who control capital. The great masses of the people will always be ready to protect the rights of capital so long as it is kept within proper bouuds and not used to oppress and them ; and the wise statesman will endeavor to enslave procure such legislation in the future as ishall preven; all clashing between labor and capital. The sapient editor’ of the aforesaid Journal of Commerce thinks the law will ibe evaded. ‘There are but few laws that | scoundrels do not evade in some way, but because a few scoundrels will do this, it is no good reason why every body else zhould be licensed to act the scoundrel. Are there no other bank presidents who will be kind enough to serve the cause of the people by drawing out other represen- tatives of the moneyed ring? Such dic- tatorical, splenetic, and stupid articles as that of the Journal of Commerce, will do more than anything else to convince the people of the wreng, oppression and in- famies of syscalled free money. <=> Mr. J. H. Mills, Superintendent of the Oxtord Orphan Asylum, has refused to accept five hundred dollars tendered him, for the use of the Asylum, by the Wilson Gift Concert Association.—Roanok News, Perhaps Mr. Mills was right. We will not call in questivn his good inten-~ tions, If the masses of the world would, how- ever, cease to devise and hunt out imagi- nary sins—if they would be content with steering clear of such as are pointed out with absulute precision—and not trouble | themselves so much with secondary sin, with sin in the abstract, with sin whose existence is discovered by induction or logical disquisition, we do not doubt that there would be less sader blunders made, leas crimes to repent of, and more souls But so long as men will persiat in straining at knats and swallowing cam- ela, things must remaiu somewhat pro- trusive, if not disjointed. We do not wish to be regarded as or- thodox, and hope to be excused if we should in any way intrench upon the le- gitimate domain of the religious press, saved. since we are only a heretic, a free- thinker, and we will be excused for doubt- ing, in view of the many etrange things we see and hear, whether the tendency of this age is to the elevation and freedom of mankind or the reverse. We had foudly hoped that the age of proscription, puritanism, one~ideaism, bigotry, had passed away forever, bat we are not so sure that this is the fact. When a legislative body, not ecclesi- | astical in the strict sense of the word, ussumes to proscribe a poor devil because bis jdea of the Sapreme Being is not con- sistent with that entertained by a major- ity of its membership, we are inclined to doubt whether we are living in an age of religious bigotry or of progress and rea, son, and whether the days of Witgh burniog will not return. i el times on hearing, and sometimes wheu reading the moral lectgres of the day. When we fail to apprecigte, we are gta loss to divine whether it is obtaze ness on our part, or whether we are simply an un- believing heretic. There is 60 mach that is foreign to the subject-matter—so much that tends rather to encumber—so mach that tends to befog reason—rso much that is neither positive nor negative, 60 much said about‘constructive sin, and 50 little about the all importaot,.all essential duty as set forth in the Book of Books. It is vot literary beauty, rhetorical symetry, and logical grandieur and precision that the soul thirsting fordivine favor and assu- rance, craves —not the husk but the ker- nel—not the accompaniments bat the es- sence of christianity, that most cqncerns it; and hence we think there ig too. much njceuess, too much disposition to quibble about things that are merely secandary. There were nice people in the days of Aagustug Caesar, and they even dared to lecture the world’s Savior on questions of morality and sacred du- ties, but he established a religion, never- theless, which uineteen centuries of prog~ ress have not outstripped, and which no future progress is likely to supersede. The people who have adopted this reli- gion, says a writer, differ from all others by a higher standard of morale, greater progress in knowledge, a more active spirit of beneyolence, and more wisely organized institutions. The history of civilization is the history of those nations which have professed the christian faith. And it can easily be demo.strated that their superiority is not a mere accidental attendant of christianity, but a direct co. - | sequence of it. Now a religion which, originating nearly twothousand years ago, in the soul of a Jewish peasant, and which standard of which all succeeding centuries have been established a life towards approximating but have not yet reached, and the ideal of whieh has never beeu improved, is the most wonderful phenom- enon that eyer engaged the attention of “Whence had that The physical mira- cles related in conucction with his life seem poor and trivial by the side of this great permanent theme of wonder, that the son of a Jewisli carpenter was tweuty the human mind. mac this wisdom ?”’ time in his moral intuitions, and perhaps as many centuries in advance of our time. ‘The dim and doubtful prophecies recorded in the sacred writings areas nothing in com- centuries in advance of his own parison with the clear prophetic soul of that wonderful Nazarene whose spiritua! wisdom will outlive the world. Yet the merits of this religion consist uot in strange and mysterivus doctriue, not in abstract questions, not in mere tl.e- ories, but principally in that rooted depth of conviction with which his whole soul was penetrated that he was teaching the sa- ving truth of humanity, and the incessant emphasis he laid on a few prolific priuci- ples, and the wisdom be evinced in sin- gling them out as fundamental.‘ These afe the circumstances in which he differed from every other moral teachers and every other founder of a religion. And the wonderful, the miraculous thing is, that the most enlightened philosophers of all succeeding times have found no occasion of that poor young man brought up in a rural Jewish village. Love, faith, aud charity constitute the fulness of that religion which is so essen- tial to the salvation of - mankind; and the simple story of the untaught Galilean as told by his immediate followers, bereft of superstitious formality aud useless cere- mony, is more effective in controling hu- man action for good than all things else yet devised. Nothing comes so completely within the grasp of the human intellect, and nothing is so efficient in softening and toning the sensibilities of the humau heast. The law established sin: The invention of new creeds, doctrines, stances ards, increases the chances of opposition and multiplies to revise the moral judgmenta antagonistic elements. This is the tendency of tao much that is sect down as religion. ~~. EXPENSES OF THE WESTERN DIS- TRICT OF N.C. We learu that the recent enquiry at Washington into the alledged extravagance in the management of the affairs of this dis- trict, fails to establish any fraud in the office of Col. Douglass as Marshal of the District. Indeed, we do not know of any specific charges, but have heard a general allegation of extravagance. From what we know and have seen of Col. Douglass, we believe him to be a faithful and honest officer, and do not believe that he would connive at anything like fraud in the management of his office. There exists no doubt, great abuses in the District, resulting from the conduct of per- sons acting in the interest of the government. This is always the case when operating over a vast territury like this, but we know of nothing tou impugn the honest conduct of Col. Douglass, or the integrity of Judge Dick, who presides over the District. If there is any blame it doubtless rests with “the powers that be’’ at Washington ; which authorized the hunting up of all the still- houses on every ‘‘poasoin brauch’’ in the country, and no man dare be suspected of having ‘‘malt” or **mash” in his old delap- idated stillhouse, without being brought to the court. Such an extensive programme by which four hundred eases came into court necessarily involves expense, Judge Dick has time and again published rules preventing the accumilation of costs, and the power at Washington should not now seek shelter by intimating a wrong on Judge Dick and the Marshal of the District.

A ROYAL ORGAN, The stomach has been well named a “royal organ,” sizce it sways and controls the entire system, every gland, tissue and nerve sympa- thizing with it as the servants of a prince syt- pathize with their master. Each one of them is fed aud sustained by it—even the brain it- self. the centre of sensation, is absolutely des pendentupon it for sustenance. Consequently, when the stomach fails to perform its all-im- | portant office, the subordinate organs also falter jin their duty. The reason why Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have such a wondrously bene- ficial effect upon the general health, and are sucha reliable preventive of disease, is that they speedily overcome weakness or disorders ‘of the stomach, and thus insure complete nour- ; ishment of the entire system and a healthful | performaace ofits various functions. Unlike | those stimulants whose alcoholic principle is | unmodified by judicious medication, the spirit- | ous basis of these Bitters, which is of the purest description, holds in solution herbal alteratives | and invigorants to which a foremost rank has | been assigned in materia medica, Bat ;not alone the fact that these sovereign bo- /tanic elements enter into the composition of the Bitters that constitutes them such a_be- | nign tonic and corrective, but also that_ they | are so happily combined that the full effect of | each is exerted upon the disordered or debili- tated system. The digestive and secretive | organs are the first to experience their benefi- ; cent operation, which extends, by sympathy, jtothe brain, the nerves and = the circulation. | The influence thus exerted is fruitful of those | great sanitary results which have built -up the | reputatiun of this truly national medicine. it is OR NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The Poor-House :—A well authenticated report has reached our editorial ear, to the effect that a man at the Poor-House was con- fined in a room during the recent extremely cold weather and being, we suppose, partially deranged, tore up his seanty covering, and was allowed to remain until both feet were so bad- ly frozen as to necessitate their amputation. This certainly looks like cruel treatment, and we truat that our County Commissioners, whom we know to be humane, intelligent gentleman, will take steps to have the matter investigated, and sce where the blame belongs. Complaints against the management of this county institu- tion are by no means infrequent. Just about the time Stonemen’s Raid on Salisbury, a squad of blue-coated cavalry men rode up to the stable of a good old farmer not far from here, and coolly saddled one of his two horses, and were proceeding on their way with the booty when our friend, not wishing to lose his best horse, and supposing of course that the rogues belonged to Stoneman’s command, accosted rhem thus.” “Dang it all men, yous wootent take a goot adion mens horses woot yous. “The yery kind we're looking for old cbap, and We will relieve you of the other one too.”— Which they did.

Merchants and Grangers do not, “and need [not clash, nor antagonize each other, except | from misunderstanding of each others motives The farmer has an unquestion- able right to form associations for the protec- tion and promotion of his own interest, just as her trade and calling does, and in exer- and interests, | every ot | cising this right he but shows that he has caught | the true progressive spirit of the age. Nor | can the merchant blame him if he takes advan- | tage of the markets by making his purchases | wherever he can do so on the most favorable terms, or by disposing of his farm products whenever hecan do soto the best advantage. This is his right, and he is stupid if he does not exercise it. But before he does this, let him always be fully satisfied that, all things considered, he can not do equally wel at home. Let the Granges take the trouble to advise themselves thoroughly on this matter before transferring theirtrade elsevhere-- We krow that the grangers are constantly in receipt of ¢irculars, price lists, samples. &c., from parties at a dis- tance, offering indueements to purchasers, and in the absence Of such solicitors and induceé ments at home, it is but natural that they should take advantage of such ’opportuuities. What we would like to suggest is this; when- ever you get such offers from a distance, see if you ean nat do as well with our own merchants. If nacessary, tell them what you can do, and in nine cases out of ten they will do just as well or perhaps better. Let every Grange make out a list of its wants in any particular arlicle such as Séeds, Bagging, Shoes, Bacon, Sugar, Tobacco, or anything else, and see where they can do the best, always giving the prefer- ence tohome merchants, Of course any dealér can afford to sell much cheaper in quantity than at retail,and when one man, for instances would have to pay, say, twelve and ahalf cents for a single plug of tobacco, forty men might club together aud buy the same tobacco, of the same dealers, at a cost of not more than eigh cents per plug, the concession beingin consid- eration of the quantity. And now a word to the merchants: You sometimes blame the farmer for passing you by, when the fault is really with yourself. He receives offers from other places, is constantly plied with circulars, price-lists, and advertise- ments of every conceivable kind; and in the absence of such solicitations and inducements at home, very naturally concludes'that it is to his interest to send his orders away. At the same time, we know that in a majority of in- stances he could do equally well, or perhaps better, at home, The morz! of this is briefly summed up: Let our merchants advertise more liberally their wares and prices, put themselves to some trouble to inform Grangers and others, that for goods purchased in quantities they can make liberal discount from the usual retail | prices, and let them do this in advance of simi- lar propositions from abroad, without waiting to be forced by circumstances todoso, If both parties would adopt such a course as we have indicated, we are satisfied that it would solve the whole difficulty, reconcile apparently op- posing interests, and insure tothe material ben- efit of all concerned. his daughters are alive and coming home. policy, is married, aud has a child by her secoud husband.

He could not tell an operatic strain from ‘Hark, from the tombs,” if his life depended apon it. Morgan ts his organist, and when he iz in condition, few can equal him. ‘The very day on which he preached his fiereest sermon ou the opera, Morgan struck off during the collection with one of the most popular of our operatic airs. The thing was 80 Gelicious that the officials demand- ed that that style of music should be in- troduces at each service. And eo with Morgan banging away on the organ, and the cornet player banging away on the bugle, make a little orchestra of its own, which gives the preformance quite a thea- trical air. Iu the meanwhile the innocent pastor, without the slightest idea of what is goipg on, sits on his ebair holding his hands in delighted ecstacy, expressive of supreme enjoyment, and reveling in the pleasures of the hours, all uneonscious that the music is overthrowing the the whole argument of the sermon. Every- body was delighted, especially the large portion of the audience who are accnatom. ed to attend ihe opera. —_—_——__+<>o— Among the miner miseriesof the debate yeeterday on the Revenue bill was a very foolish speech made by Mr. W.

For the sake of enlightening Mr. Roberts, we will say for the ten theasand- th time that the revenue. tariff of which he professes himeelf iu favor is merely applied Free Trade. We Bes there is nobody in Congress but Mr, Roberts and his admirer, Mr. Field, of Michigan, who needs this explanation. We do not by any means except Mr. Blaine, who has been heard to talk just such rubbish as Mr. Roberts’s. For that astate dema- gogue talks it in Maine, well knowing it to be rubbish, and takes good care not to talk it in Washington, leaving that task to the unfortunate Mr. Roberts, who pro- bably does not know to-day that eds is free between all the States ef this Union, despite all burdens of Federal and State taxation.— World —_—_-~.>>- THE SOUTH AND THE UNION.

The immediate subs ject of Judge Merrimon’s speech was Louisiana affairs, but enlarging its scope, he made au incidental and wost powerful vindication of the South. Laour judgment, this speech of the North Carolina Senator was the ablest delivered before the XLII[ Congress in defence of the South and the Southern people. We append a brief extract of his treatment of the charge that this section hates the Union. We wish space allowed of an ampler quotation.

Glory! The name resounds like a surging sea. It dazzles up with a blaze of splendid meaning. itis the end and object of all the triumphs that human power can achieve. It has been fiercely fought tor by nations and by men; it has been pursued throughout all time; it has been sought more passionately than even love or money. And it tempts not only actors, but lookera-ou as well, for it cor- | respouds to an imperious necessity which acts on every oue of us; it satistes that irresistible disposition to be sometimes enthusiastic about something—no matter what— which is at the bottom of all nas tures, however ponderously placid they may be. ‘I'he world is ofa single mind upon the subject; and, on the whole, the world ia right to be unanimously conviu- ced, for glory has been so singularly use- ful to its progress, that we may reasona- bly doubt whether we could possibly have arrived at our present state without it.— its rarity, and the extreme difficulty of obtaining it, have so largely added to its value that no reward on earth can be compared to it. Most other prizes may be competed for by auy man who has ambition, strength and intelleet ; wealth, rank, and power may be won single-han- ded, by personal capacity; but glory, unlike those easicr summils, cannot be climbed alone—no solitary traveler cau reach its brilliant heights. The reason is that while each of us can fight our own way alove—on the one conditon of being strong enough—to every other success in lite, no man can seize glory for himself. Glory is not a diadem which any aspirant, whatever be his force of arm or will, can lift unassisted on to his owao head; it must be placed there by applauding nations, and the whole earth must ratify the crown- ing» And if individual claimants can acy quire it only by the acclamations of maa- kind, 80, inversely, nations are dependent for it on the actions of their citizens. It must be earned by them collectively, be heard exparte as to them. : Witness IL. B. Howard, Clerk Superior Court, at office in Mocksville, this second day of March 1875. H. B. HOWARD. C8.

The bill allows the solicitor a fee of $20 for prosecuting each cause, and allows him to procure some attorney to prosecute in his stead when he is unable to attend. The U.S. District Attorney having de- cided that in all such cases it was bis du- ty to defend the defendants in the U.S. arts as ‘‘Prosecuted officers of the Gov- ernment,’ such causes have heretofore been dismissed without trial from the fed- eral courts, for want of prosecution, and some of the worst offenders in the State have thue gone unwhipped of justice.— Sentinel. ——$$_—<—___ ~Tue Pout-Tax INDICYMENTS.— Un. der the provisions of the law, Solicitor Harris has recently raised a little rumpus by causing indictments to be made against ] parties who failed to list their poll taxes in 1873-'74, all parties so failing being compelled to give bond for their ap- nee before the next Superior Uourt. he cost to all parties so indicted would .yeach some $10 vr $12, the Solicitor's fee being $4 on each case. ‘I'he Senate yes-~ terday passed a bill releasing all indict- ments upon the tax receipt being exhibi- ted and theicosts being paid, the Solicitor, Sheriff and Clerk to receive each twenty- five cents costs.

We learnthat some 3,000 persons had been indicted io this county. =—News. me Ejection for Intoxication. . In the Superior Court, at New York, it was decided last week that a street rail- way eompany has a perfect right to eject ’ §ntoxicated persons from their cars, and that the company: ia not responsible for damages in the event of the fatal in- jary of a person ejected under such circum- - ptances.—The Chief Justice not only dismjssed a complaint of this kind, but warmly commended the conductor whose act the company defended, on the ground that the gondactors should be encouraged and protected in the exercise of the duty of saving passengers from being disturbed or endangered by the disorderly and im proper behaviour of drunken men. There ean be vo doubt, however, that conduc- tors should exercise care in such cases to gave the intoxicated persons from bodily barm as far as possible, in executing the ejectment, also they and the company may be liable in case of personal in- jury, When we consider the prevalence of the custom to dub every body who went te the wars with the little of Captayn, Colo~ nel, General, etc, there is a peculiar ap- propriateneas in the following resolution, which was introduced et a meeting of Confederate aoldiers at Atlanta, Georgia, the other day : ; Resolved, That the President appoint a committee of one to inquire into the matter of whether there were any survi~ ving privates of the late war. ————V0“—-————_ If I Had Leisure. “Tf I had leisure, I would repair that weak place iu my fence,” said a farmer. He had none, however, and while drink~ ing eider with a neighbor, the cows broke in and injured a prime piece of corn, He had leisure then to repair his tence, but it did not bring back his corn. “If I had leisure,” said a wheel-wright, last Winter, “I would alter my stove- pipe, for I know it is not safe.” But he did not find time, and when his shop caught fire, and barned down, he found leisure to build another. “Jf I had leisure,” said a mechanic, ‘1 should have my work done in season.” — The man thinks his time has been all oc- cupied, but he was not at work till after sunrise; he quit work at five o’clock, smoked a cigar after dinner, and spent two hourson the street talking nonsense with an idler. If I had leisure,” said a merchant, “I would pay more attention to accounts,” The chance is, my friend, if you bad leisure, you would probably pay leas at- tention to the matter than you do now.— The thing lacking with hundreds of far- mers who til] the soil is, not more leisure, but more resolution—the spirit to do—to do now. If the farmer who sees the fence in a poor condition would only act at once, how much might be savea. It would prevent breechy cattle creating quarrels among neighbors, that in mavy cases terminate in law-suites, which take nearly all they are both worth to pay the lawyers.— Annual of Phrenology and Ppysiognomy for 1875. An Extraordinary ‘‘Birth-mark.” [Columbia (Ky.) Spectator.] About three months ago in the edge of Russell county a child was born into a family in which other children had pre~ viously made thcir appearance from time to time, all (except the last)being well- formed and healthy. ‘This last is an un- usual product of nature. Lhe body from the head down to about the hips is in form and color, with few exceptions, very much like other white children ; around the hips it is perfectly black, its legs being like those of an ordinary child. The bead is spotted, and the hair upon it is as stiff as the bristles of a hog. ‘The sex of the child cannot as yet be determined. The mother gives the following explana- tion of the freak: A short time before the birth of the child, a vicious wild hog broke out of his pen, which was near the house, and with devouring intent imme~ diately made at a child that was playing in the yard. he mother witnessed this scene, and so immiuent was the danger that she was greatly _ terrified.—She sprang to the little one’s assistance just in time to save it from the furious animal. The hog was of that kind known among farmers as listed, that is, having a “strips” across his shoulders ; the remainder of his body was spotted. The marks on the child correspond to the color marks on the hog. ‘The hair on the child’s head is simply a number of stiff bristles, project~ ing out from the skin. Up to this time it has been healthy, and bids fair to grow up to yonthnood. ——————__ +> ——_—_—— NaTIoNaL IIorEL, RaLerGH.—While sperding a few days, this week at the State Capitol, we sojourned with that prince of land-lords, Col.

Commentiug on it, it says: Ihe manager of a theatre will run the risk of a verdict for damages before seating black men by the side of white ones in the parquet and dress circle. It will be some years before the aristoeratic denizens of Sullivan and Thompeon streets will be allowed to oceupy the boxes at Wallack’s or Booth’s or Daly's In reality the bill is a pretence, not a measure, and it results in pleasing no- body. Mr. Sumner would have spurned it fron him with contempt. In omitting the school clause everything that was vital iu it is destroyed.” ——_—— ~~ How a Little Boy Died The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise of January 12th has this little paragraph : “Little Eddie Nye, who was run over bya flat car last Friday evening, and was so badly injured that he died next morning, wasarare, bright child, and one of the best children in the city. Just before he died he sang ‘The Beautiful River” with a voice as thought he had caught the tones from the softer shore on the brink of which his spirit was then trembling. After the song he repeated a little prayer which his mother had taugh him. The child all his hfe had a lisp, but this last prayer fell from his tongue with- out a halt or quiver, but rather, steady and clear, and yet with a far-off tone, as though another’s voice of infinite sweetness had seized upon his lips in the supreme moment, to leave an echo in his anguished mother's ears which should last as long as life, Shortly after the little prayer the sunny eyes closed, and little Eddie was gone’ On Sunday his faneral attracted the whule city, and there was not a dry eye around the dear child's bier.” NE ‘Wood Ashes as 4 Fertilizer. This is one of the most valuable ferti> lizers within reach of the farmer. The unleached article has the more potash, but the leached is thought to be quite as valuable. In leaching they shrink a good deal, and lime is usually added, which increases their value. They are generally sold, too, at a lesa price. Ashes are well suited to all tarm crops, and are very beneficial in the fruit and orchard. Most farmers still sell wood in the cities and villages, and, rather than go home empty, they should carry back ashes and other fertilizers to replace the potash, lime and phosphoric acid that have been carried off in the crops and animals sold. Ashes immediate effect from their application, and at the same time last long iu the soil. They are very highly appreciated in the onion growing districts, bat may be ap- plied with equal advantage to ordinary farm crops. ———_—_- > Our Youne MempBers AGAIN.—Says the Greensboro Patriot : ‘Decidedly the ablest speech that has been made in the General Assembly this season was that of Mr. Staples on the usury question.” A correspondent of the Newbern Nut- shell says ; “Permit me to state that the people of Craven couuty will ever recog~ nize the obligation they are under to Mr. M.

Comforts and Luxuries of the Farm, There is a class of farmers who are living only to grasp more acres. Their farms cau never be large enough, nor can their workmen or themselves ever do quite enough work. ‘They cannot be satisfied with the income of a farm, uor could they be with that of any other busi- ness. But those who understand that the highest object in labor is not simply to make money, bat to proyide the largest amount of the means of improvement and innocent enjoyment that the world affords, can make the pursuit of agriculture furn- ish more luxuries that really contribute to our well-being than any other employ- ment requiring an equal amount of capi- tal. Their farms are not so large as to make slaves of themselves and their sous, their wives and daughters are not worn out with incessant drudgery Their door- yards blossom with flowers, their tables are supplied with many varieties of well- grown delicious fruit, their houses are made cheerful by the influence of books and music, and ataste for the pure and innocent enjoyments of life is developed in their children. Here and there a farmer’s home exemplifies all the content- ment and happiness possible to a race doomed to labor and disappointment.— Practical Farmer. ———— + > _____—_ Eloquent Tribute to en Eminent North Carolina Scientist. Tn his “sketches of North Carolina” for the Norfolk Landmark, Governor Vance, alluding to the tragic death of Dr. Mitchell on Black Meuntain, quotes the following eloquent tribute to that martyr of science from an address of Professor Charles Phillips, of Davidson College, formerly of the University: “There,” says Professor Charles Phillips, once a beloved pupil and long a fellow teacher in the University, “he shall rest till the Judgment Day, in a mausoleum such ae no other man has ever had. Reared by the hands of Omnipotence, it waa as~ signed to him by those of whom it was given thus to express their esteem, and it was consecrated by the lips of eloquence warmed hy affection amidst the rites of our holy religion.

Regularity in milking of cows is of as much importance as regularity in feeding them. In a state of nature, the cow is relieved of its milk a great many times each day. A calf allowed to remain with its mother will help itself seven or eight times each day. Under euch circum- stances the udder of the cow will remain emall, and if allowed to retain the milk secreted during the twelve hours, feverish symptoms are likely to be produced. The practice of milking cows more than twice in 24 bours causes the capacity of the udder to be greatly increased, and probably assists in maintaining the lacteal secretion long after pregnancy has taken place. Whev, however, by an artificial system, the cow, has been enabled to re- tain her milk without inconvenience for twelve hours or so, she ought to be milked regularly at the same hour, When the time for milking arrives, the udder usually becomes destended to its utmost capacity, and if the milk is not speedily removed, the animal suffers considerable pain. Cases of fever, the result of allow- ing animals to remain too long unmilked, are, indeed, by no means of unfrequent occurrence. Itis especially necessary to attend to this point for some days after the animal has brought forth its young, for daring that period very little irritation of the Jacteal organs is likely to bring on tha’ most fatal of all maladies, fever. If milking be too long delayed, nature will try to help the poor animal. An absorp. tion-of milk into the blood will to some extent take place, and that which remains inthe udder will become deteriorated. When neglect to milk a cow at the regu~ lar time is repeated several times, the ses cretion of the fluid is permanently check- ed ; and there are many cases where by such neglect, the animal has become dry in less than -a month.—Jrish Farmer’s Gazette, : Scene at the Bxpulsion of| Thorne, [Raleigh Sentinel of Thurshay evening,] As the hand stood at eleven last night the House took the vote and expelled J. William Thorne, of Warren, fur the blas~ phemous pamphlet his pen had indicted. The voting Was prefaced with considera~ ble debate. Three colored members mingled their voices againet the expulsion. One was rampant. He howled like he was on acorn pile. Said he was at first in favor of expelling de’man, but had since read his Bible considerbul, and should now vote karmly agin it. When Paul wason his way to Damascus he hearn a voice, “Paul, Paul, what yer prosecute me for?” The House come down with a big \augh, and the member tried it again: “Paul, Paul, who do thon prosecute me?” The House laid back and hollered, and the member tried iton: “Paul, Paul, why prosecute thou me,” and the House screamed, while the mem- ber swept on like a hurricane to blow down and rip up another fair field of the English language. When the vote was being taken the Speaker gave Mr. Thorne his choice to retire or remain in bis seat. He preferred to remain, He showed no emotion at the result. He isan old man, gray headed, his voice as soft as soothing syrup, and hia face by no means an ill- looking one. —_——_—__—~<>>-__--—— In Tuose Days.—The following remi- nisence of the late war is ahead of the comanches and man eaters themselves. Col. Taylor, the Senator from Henderson. tells ua that just at the close of the war Kirk’s raiders rode over Western North Carolina in a perfect carnival of fury. ‘They came to bis brother’s-in-law, Col. McLean, of Henderson, and after finding what little gold he had hid away in the wall they threatened to hang him if he didn’t give them more. ‘They marched him in the yard and told him to choose his limb. Col. McLean, an old man near three score and ten, told them he would never hunt his own gallows, to hang him as soon as they pleased, that they could not rob him of many years. ‘They then bound him flat of his back on the ground and built large fires around him to bake him to death, and the old man would have been roasted whole had not his sister sent word for the captain of the gang to come to her, and she told him to bring his crowd the next Friday and they should have the money. This saved ber brother. The next Friday night Colonel Taylor and a large number of returned Confeder- ates were set in ambueb, and Kirk’s party got within a mile of the house, when the negroes told them the news, and they about faced a.d left that country.— Sent nel. ——_____-_~¢+<>—_____—_ Giass.—Probably the Romaus were the first to employ glass fur windows. Some remuants of glass paues are to be found to day iu their,frames, in the buried houscs of Herculaneum and Pompeii. They substituted glass as a material for bottles, in place of the leather which is still in vogue amo:.g the poorer classes in the Orient. Epicureans iu wine then, as now, determined the age of their article by the seal upon the cork, and the label impressed upon the glass. Glass goblets were less popular. Gold and_ silver rex luctantly yielded the palm to their new fangled rival, which sought popularity by appealing, not to the poverty of the poor, but to the desire of noyelty among the rich. Even artificial stones and pearls of glass were kuown to the Romaus; but whether they depended exclusively as they certainly dia chiefly, upon the re- sources of the Jews—polished metals—is a question of grave dispute among the iearned in such watters.—A dispute into which we shall not venture to enter. It is! safe, however, to say that the only use of glass which modern art can claim with as- surance, as its own, is the employment of at in those optical instrumenis which are in once the children and the parents of so much of modern science. — ~<a Death of One of the Lincoln As- sassins. { Port Tobacco (Md.) Independent. ] Edward Spangler died at the residence of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, near Bryantown, in Charles county, Maryland, on Sunday night last. Spangler was arrested with Herold‘ Atzerott, Payne, O*Laughlin, Arnold, Dr. Mudd and Mrs. Surratt, and tried by military commission for the as-~ sassination conspiracy, which resulted in the murder of President Lincoln in April, 1865. Booth, the leader of the conspira~ ey, was killed in an attempt to capture him ; Herold, Atzerott, Payne, and Mrs. Surratt were hanged in the yard of the old penitentiary bailding on the 7th of July, 1865; Dr. Mudd, Arnold and O’Laughin were sentenced to the Dry Tortugas for life, and Spangler to six years’ imprisonment and labor at the same place. O'Laughin diedat the Dry Tor- tugas during a ycllow fever epidemic, and about|the close of President Jolinson’s ad- ministration Mudd, Spangler and Arnold were pardoned, the petition for the clem- ency of the President being signed by the officers and men stationed at the Dry ‘Tortugas, a number of whom were attend. ed by Dr. Mudd and narsed by the other prisouere mentioned through the fever. Dr. Mudd, on returning to Maryland, took up his residence on his farm, where he has continued to reside. Sam Arnold returned to Baltimore, as did Spangler. The latter, about two years ago, went to live with Dr. Mudd, between whom and Spangler great friendship existed. Spangler was a native of Pennsylvania, but learned his trade of carpenter in Bal- timore, where he worked for many years under Mr. James Gilford, a master buil- der. Mr. Gilford, on taking the position of stage carpenter, at Ford’s theatre, em- ployed Spangler as an assistant. Span- gler was rather a stout built man, and was aboat fiftysfive years old when he died. It was alleged that he took charge of the horse of Booth ou the night of the assassination, but turned the animal over to “Peanut John” to hold, and also that he had arranged with Booth to have a way kept open in the theatre for him to escape, cl Shist, Ae.

Having nothing to con- ceal, we made an innoyation on established usage, by publishing those letters received unfavora- ble to our Guano, but careful inquiry in many cases proves that the cause of its failure was not owing to any fault in the Guano, but to those far beyond our control. We have frequently heard the same complaints of its kindred Fertilizer, Peruvian Guano, but the concurrent testi- mony of well known Farmers and Planters from Maryland to the extreme Western counties of North Carolina, justify us in claiming a place for our Fertilizer Superior to many, and Second to None, .

Mesars Meroney & Bro. Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of the Guanahani Guano, I will state that I have given it a fair, and, as J think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in use in ourcountry. In the month of February I bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn, On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, $ pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, I picked 1} ounces the same day—showing'a difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis; I find that the land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ; with Gnanabani it will yield 12 pounds to the ro w, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—showing a difference of over 600 per cent. . I have not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. On one acre of ground, a3 a test, I sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstancés, has average 700 pounds of sced cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds E. A. PROPST. —_—_—— Davie -Co.,N: 0. _ Messrs Meroney & Bro. GENTLEMEN :—In reply to your that I used it last Sammer on an old field which would have produeed very poorly under ordi- nary circumstances but which under the application of Guanahani yielded me avery good crop.

Argemorne Revaud was of a French parentage on his father’s aide, but her lady mother was a countess of England, and the heiress of a very large inheritance. Castel St. E!mar was the ancestral home, and for years it was noted for the grandeur of its appointments and the unbouuded hospitality of its occupants. Here Argemorne’s childhood and early youth were pasged, in the enjoyment of every luxury which wealthy parents to whom the highest wish of the imperious little beauty was law. Monsieur Renuad was one of those “rolling stones” whose great misfortane lies in the fact of their having been thrust into existence, nobody could reasonably have expected them to “gather moss.” Renaud never made a cent of money in his life, but he fancied that he had won- derful genius for bargain driving, and his little a tradeswcman to see that he got cheated in every bargain he made. He embarked largely in speculation, involv- ing his wife's property to such an extent that everything had to go to satisfy the with all its untold wealth of rare and beautiful things, the work of centuries to collect, passed into the hands of careless strangers, This terrible blow was too much for the haughty pride of the countess ; she died of brain paralysis in less than a week, and after her death Renaud did the only sensible thing he had done for years — plunged into the river and the next day was the subject of an interesting post mortem and coroner’s iaquest. And Argemorne, at 18, was left an orphan, with ouly a small annuity and no expectations. She was one of the proudest women in England, and her ill-fortune galled ber sorely, but she was too proud to make it manifest by word or deed. All her friends ealled her cold and soulless, and wonder~ ed if aught on earth could toach her heart. They little knew the passicuate warmth of the heart which she had ever Kept bidden. She found a home, after the death of her parents, with a little cousin, but there was little sympathy between herself and the Hon. Mrs. Montague. Mrs. Montague had been at St. Elmar, and she gave Argemorne a home, solely because her family pride could not bear the mortifica- tion of secing a relative in the house of a 7 | etranger. Near Montague House was the fine es~ tate of Maltravers Abby—the seat of the old Lord Maltravers. The old Lord had two sons, Louyian and Gerald. Louvian was the heir to the little, the Abby,.and the bulk of the large estate: while Gerald, as the younger son, had only the family name of Rossmont, and ap income of a thousand pounds a year. But the young men were noble and handsome, and both loved Argemorne Renand—each io his own way. Both were courtly ia bearing, and as devoted to her as even her exacting na- -}tare could require, but she loved only one of them, and unfortunately for her that one was Gerald, the young son.

The lofty old turrets of Maltraver abby were to her too powerfal a temptation to be resisted ; easier a long time she had made up her mind to become Lady Maltravers. Her mother had been a pone and from childhood Argemorne ad been trained to believe that the great end of her life would be accomplished 1 when she was. wedded to a man of rank. And merrily rang the village church bells one bright Jane morning when Argempirne was wedded to young Lord- Maltravers, and went home to the Abby as his honored wife.

The night after the bridal, driven forth by some wild unreet, Argemorne threw a shawl over her shoulders, and through the white moonlight went out to walk away the fever in ber blood beneath the tall old trees in Maltravers Park, and Gerald, !ed back to his home by some un- controble impulse, met her there. A stormy scene ensued, for both were high-spirited, and each one was well aware of the state of the other’s affec~ tions. He accused her of coldness and deceit ; he said she had never loved him—that she was incapable of loving anything but herself.—He exhausted himself in fierce and bitter reproaches, and downcast eyes. She let him finish, and when from sheer exhauston he was silent, she spoke: “Gerald ’’ said she, ‘‘Heaven is my witness, [loved you with my whole soul— I love you still! I shall love you forev~ er!

The church-bells rang a merry peal, and the bridal party set forth for the church. Lady Maltravers was in a car- riage with her bridemaids; Lord Mal- travers followed with his attendants. Tbe road to the church ran past the willow-fringed pend, and for some reason unknown to any one, the horses attached to the carriage of the bride became fright- ened as they reached the little cove where Lord Tonvian’s body. had been found.

[Erqm_the Galveston News. The question why the Civil Rights bill should undertake to secure aa rights and privileges to negroes in hotels and theatres, and on puplic conveyances, ard churches, cemeteries, reataurant?, shops, merchantile establishments, ete., will probably loug remain unanswered. Why the negro should be secured in tis right to sit by the sideofa white person in a hotel or theatre, and not in a church or school, is a problem that puzzlea. the negro, but to which he can find no sola- tion. Even the men who made the dis- tinction can assign no reason for it, and a of the palpable than its nnconstitutionality. In 16th Wallaces Reports, page 70, et seq., in the New Orleans Slaughter~huuse case, a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States makes a very broad dis- tinction between citizenship of the United States end citizenship of a State as css tablished by the fourteenth amendment. The decision is to the effect that while this amendment protects the rights of the negro aa a citizen of the United States, his rights as a citizen of a State are not hus protected. The language of thet court is: “Of the privileges and immunities of the citizens of the United States, and of the priviliges and immunities of the citix zens of the State, and what they respec~ tively are, we will presently consider, but we wish to state here it is only the former which are placed by this clause under the protection of the Federal Cony stitution, and that the latter, whatever they may be, are not intended to have any additional protection by this para- graph of theamendment. If, then there is a difference between the privileges and immunities belonging to a citizen of the United States as such, and those belong- ing to the eitizens of the State as such, the latter must rest for their authority and protection where they have heretofore rested, for they are not embraced in this paragraph of the amendment.” * . It would be the vainest show of learn- ing to attempt to prove by citations of authority that up to the adoption of the recent amendments no claims or pretens tion was set up that those rights depended on the Federal Government for their ex« istence or protection beyond the very few express limitations which the Federal Constitution imposed upon the States; such, for instance, as the prohibition against ex post facto laws, bills of attain~ der, and laws impairing the obligations of eotittracts. But, with the exception of these and a few other restrictions, the en- tire domain of the privileges and immuni- ties of citizens of the States, as above defined, lay within the constitutional and legislative power of the States and with- out that of Federal Government.

From the Savannah Advertiser. Some time ago mention was made of the remarkable mortality among the col- ored people of Charleston, South Carolina, as compared with mortality among the whites, the basis used for the eomparison being weekly returns covering less than a month. Still more striking results are presented by the health officer of Char- Jeston in the returns for the ycar. The death of whites during the year numbered 718; colered 1,230. ‘The estimated white population ia 24,000. That of the col~ ored is 29,000. Thus the ratio of deaths is one for every 23 whites, and one for every 21 colored. The health officer eays in his report that “Previous to the war consumption among the blaeks was of rare occurrence, and then only among the well marked ecrofula diathesis of the African descendant.” The increase of the disease is ascribed to cxposure, diési- pation, want of proper natrition, clothing and bedding, and the health officer says the only bope of saving the race from the fate ot the American Indiang is in secar- ing to them moral, religioue and industrial education. That this tear of their dying out in that locality is not an idle one is shown not only by the gencral death rate of the race, but particularly by the death rate among children under five years of age. ‘The proportion of colored still born to whites last year was as 6 to 1; the proportion of deaths under five years was as 2 to 1, and this in a conmunity al- most equally divided by the two races. Carpet bagism and Congressional legisla- tiun of the sort fashionable with the domi- nant party for the South willnever better, but add to this deplorable co.dition of the colored people. ’ 4 —_ —- +a + — “In pursuance of a called meeting to dig-. se we ee eee : (HOLE “NO.-%8- ee ~~ #55 Jon Saturday evening.

We certainly have a right to rejoice that a Convention has at last been called, since we have persistently and ceaseless- ly advocated the calling ot a Convention to change the Canby Constitution aud for other purposes from the time that Con- stitntion was forced upon North Carolina by bayonets and negro and scalawag votes in 1868: We strenuously opposed its adoption, and we believe we were the first to write a newspaper article de- nouncing it and urging a Ccnvention of the people to change it. Bat our whole people have cause to rejoice that they now have the apportani ty to rid themselves of an instrument so objectionable and oppressive, and we will not presume that we, only or that onlya small majority of the people, were iu favor of aConvention; for we believe thatall true North Caroliniansa—the white people, the tax~payers,—have been jn favor of the measure all the time, and that they have as much right to rejoice as we. Now, that a Convention bas been call- ed, and that there is no alternative but io elect members to it, it be~ hooves us to elect our best men. The character of the Constitution that will be formed will depend upon the kind of men the people elect to the Convention. The great duty then ia to select good and true men. To frame a Constitution requires the services of men of ability, of foresight, of prudence. The Rada will no doubt make a des- perate effort to clegt a majority of Radicals to the Convention, and it will require therefore the atmost vigilance and activity on the part of Conservatives to defeat them. Let every Conservative resolve to do his whole duty and secure the elec» tion of good men. ~~» —__——— No wember who may be elected to the Convention should take the oath prescribed by the Couvention bill, so far aa the restrictions are concerned, The Legislature had ne right and no ‘restrict the action of the people’s delegates to the Convention, and sach assumption of power should not be re- cognized. When the members elect to the Con- vention mest in Raleigh on the 6th day puw of September, 1875, they will have centered in them the supreme power of Nerth Carolina. They will have no superiors or equals in authority in the State, and all politieal power or authority, except that which has been formally del- egated to the Federal Government, ie by sofference and must cease at their bidding. They witl be the true representatives of sovereignty as understood in political parlance, and their better jadgemeut the only restriction that can be imposed upon their action. This is the opinion of the ablest minds this country has produced ; and no one who has given any study to tho character of our form of Government can doubt its truth. , While the restrictions attempted to be imposed have reference to such things as no one intended to intefere with, yet to take and subscribe the oath alluded to would be to compromise the dignity of the people’s delegates and set a precedent for legislative a saumption that is not only illegal and unconstitutional, but ridiculous and absurd. a Important Suit Decided. New York, March 17.—In the suit of the Western Railroad (in North Carolina) against L. P. Payne, for $480,000 in bonds, the referee has decided in favor of the Railroad Company. Mr. Payne was held in $200,000 bail to give up the bonds, but on consenting to deposit the bonds in the hands of the Court, he was released onthe nominal bond of $1,000.—7é¢le- graphic Dispatch. The Road alluded to above is the one running from Fayetteville in this State towards Raleigh, 42 miles, where it ccn- nects with what is known as the ‘‘Chat~ bam Railroad" from Raleigh, which is supplied with rolling stock by the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad. Andrew Jackson Jones, as President of the Western Rail~ road iu 1869-70, invelyed the Road in serious difficulties by squandering the Bonds and assets of the Road in varions ways, some of which were deposited with L. P. Payne, a broker, who bas been em- barrassing the Road by his pretended claims. The decision in favor of the Road will eaable it, we hope, to push forward an extention towards the N- C. Railroad at Greensboro or Salisbury.-— Charlotte Dem ocrat, This is the point for that Road to make for. The Yadkin river will soon be nav- igated above here, opening up the finest section of couatry in the world to Fayette- ville, Wilmiugton, Charleston, and the South. Besides, the day is not distant when we will have a Railroad running up through Davie, Yadkin, Wilkes, and bes yond the Blue Ridge, and connecting at Mt. Airy with Danville and the North. By ranning the Road, above named, here, there is much fd be gained that will re- doun the to prosperity of the section at the other end of said Road. All the advan- tages are in favor of this place. It should be the object of the Hastern cities of this State to secure connection with the rich mountain sections, and through Salisbury is the way to do it, as every disintercsted, intelligent observer must see, if he will take the trouble to examine carefully into the matter. What advantages are to accrue to Fayetteville, Wilminington or Charleston by securing connections farther North than Salisbury?

The object for which we have been laboring tor seven mouths is accomplish~ ed—the Legislature bas called a Conven- tion to rid us of the burdens of the Canby Constitution. The text of the bill, as published on yesterday, shows the Convention is what is called a restricted Convention, that is to say, itis reatricted or prohibited from doing certain things that but for the re- strictions imposed, it might do. We do not propose to discuss how far these re- strictious may be binding on the Convens tion, for the reason that we do not deem the question to have any practical importauce. We feel quite sure the Convention will disregard none of the prohibitions impos- ed upon it. What we propose to do this morning is to consider very briefly what restrictions upon the power of the Convention are imposed by the act of the Legislature. The restrictions are (1) Not to interfere with the Homestead and personal exemps tion. If the largest liberty were permitted it is safe to say no one would exercise it by interfering with the Homestead law. Every body is agreed upon that. (2) Not to interfere with the Mechanics aud Laborers lien and married women’s rights. As to this restriction, also, all are agreed. These liens and rights ought not to be interfered with. (3.) Not to change See. 3, Art. 5, of the Constitution. ‘This sec- tion requires taxation to be ad valorem and is.jastand proper. (4.) Not to change Rec. 5 of same article. [his section for- bids the Legislature to contract any new debt or contract any new pecuniary obli~ gation unless it shall in the same bill levy a special tax tu pay the interest an~ noally. It also forbids the Legislatare to Jend the credit of the State to any rail- road or other corporation unless the same be approved by a direct vote of the people of the State. , and ought to be maintained. (5.) Not to change the ratio between the poll an property tax—that je the poil tax shall equal the tax on three bundred dollars worth of property. To this too there will be no objection, fur the reason that it will prevent either poll or property from evad- iug ite due share of taxation, as oue can- not be changed with out changing the other in the same proportion. (6.) Not to vacate or abolish any office before the expiration of the term of its present 10+ cumbent. To this restriction we were opposed on many accounts, buat having been made a part of the act of the Assem- bly calling the Couvention, we shall now urge no objection to it. (7.) Not to pay for slaves. We pre- sume no one expected North Carolina to pay North Uarolinians for slaves emanci- pated by the Federal Goyernment (8.) Nor do we think any one proposed to make provision fot any war debt. (9.) Nor was there ever any purpose to require any educatiougl or property qulification as arequisite for voting. (10.) Ner was there avy purpose to restore imprisonment for debt. (11.) Nor prohibition against acts of ordinary legislature ia merely a precaution—unnegessary we think —to in. sure a short session of the Convention. From shis brief review it will be seen that the only restriction of any practical importance is the one which permits the present office holders to serve out the terme for which they were elected. The Cou-~ vention has full power to change our county and township gavernments, to re~ quire every voter to show his poll-tax receipt; to prevent fiom voting every man convicted of larceny: to change our whole judicial system; the mode of clecting judges and magistrates; to require the Judges to ride the circuits in ratation, and indeed to make all the other changes so much desired. The restrictions, with a eingle exception perhaps, cover ground that no one proposed to enter upon. RT ch THE CONV--NTION BILL.

RARE POT GTA SE II STR ESTES RS OE snc EAE LE A ROYAL ORGAN. The stomach has been well named a “royal organ,” since it sways and controls the entire system, every gland, tissue and nerve sympa thizing with it as the servants of a prince sym- pathize with their master. Each one of them is fed and sustained by it—even the brain ite self. the centre of sensation, is absalutely de pendent upon it fur sustenance. Consequently, when the stomach fails to perform its all-im- portant office, the subordinate organs also falter in their duty. The reason why Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have such a wondrously bene- ficial effect upon the general health, and are sucha reliable preventive of disease, is that they speedily overcome weakness or disorders of the stomach, and thus insure complete nour- ishment of the entire system and a healthful performance of its various functions. those stimulants whose alcoholic principle is anmodified by judicious medication, the spirit- ous basis of these Bitters, which is of the purest description, holds in solution herbal alteratives and invigorants to whizh a foremost rank has been assigned in materia medica. But it is not alone the fact that these sovereign bo- tanic elements enter into the composition of the Bitters that constitutes them such a be- nign tonic and corrective, but also that they are so happily combined that the full effect of each is exeried upon the disordered or debili- tated system. The digestive and secretive organs are the first to experience their benefi- cent operation, which extends, by sympathy, tothe brain, the nerves and the circulation. The influence thus exerted is fruitful of those great sanitary results which have bnilt up the reputation of this truly national medicine. ~ NEW AD VERTIS EMENTS. School Wanted.

He was a citizen of this place for several years, first as private tutor in the family of Hon. Charles Fisher, and afterward teaching a school in town. The treasury department at Washington has resumed the old practice, of deducting for missing portions, in the redemption of matilated currency, iustead of paying the face value, as heretofore.

One yearning wish of our boyhood has | Leen satitied at last and alas: that we | : . | and our dreams of enchanting music rudely dispelled. But so it is ever in life. We have often seen the stiring picture of a bare-leg- ged, plaid covered, plume headed Highlander flowing and fingering his warlike country- men oa to the dread fray, to the suul stiring music of the bagpipe—but it was all ruined when we saw that old tan colored foreigner, with brass rings in his ears actually playing on a bagpipe in our streetd#® the other day. We could have made better music, as a friend well remarked, ‘by catching aa old gander and squeezing him til! he hollowed. Farewell! our bagpipeal fancies ! For tHe WatcHMan “DUCKS.” Ducks are a very irregular bird in their habits, sometimes here and sometimes there and most of the time everywhere. They don’t care much for mad, I have seen them playing in the mad and water just as if it was not wrong. ‘Phey love 'o swim like the boys. We girls hardly ever go swiming, ‘cause the boys are so mean. They sometimes call us ducks, the boys I mean, they call us ducks ‘cause we are sweet, but I don’t think ducks are aweet, especially drakes, cause they go round blowing and stretching their necks like snakes. There are several kind of ducks. Drakes are called dueks when we bring them to the table to eat, [ think they are right good then. B.

The storm of last Saturday seems to have been general in this State. In Wake county it was particularly severe, many houses were upset, goroofed, and other damage done. | Bat in cther States, Worth and South, great damage has been done. A gentle~ man informs us, who was in Tennessee, during the prevglence of the freshet there that hundreds and thousands of bushels of corn, deposited along the river forship- ment, were swept away; that many houses and other property were also de~ stroyed. d | should have lived to see our faney spoiled, | ° Reale a apeech deliv- of the United States. on the 17th, February last, {n defense-of the South, is a masterly effort. It is just anch a speech as wehadaright to expect from that gallant soldier and true gentlemen. We shall endeav- or hereafter to give some extracts from this speech. We regret te hear of avery sad acci- dent whieh ocearred on the farm of Mr. J. M. Harrison yesterday. The son of Mr. Harrison about ten years old, was killed by some frightened horses. We are unable to get further particulars. Visit of the Orphans.—The Superinten- dent of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, Kev. Mr. Milla, with twelve of his pupils. arrived here on Saturday last, and gave an Entertainment at the Presbyterian church io the evening, con- sisting of songs and recitations. The atten- dance was not large, owing to inclement weath- er, but we have‘seldom seen an audience more interested in similar exercises. We doubt not many of our citizens, known to cherish the most friendly feelings towards this noble In- stitution, regret their inability to meet these children oa this occasion, and will cheerfully contribute more substantially to promote its prosperity. Dr, J. J. Summerell wag designa- ted at the niseting to receive and forward any sums which might be handed him by persons not choosing to remit to the Institution more directly. The exercises of the evening were, as Mr. Mills said, very simple and like those often witnessed at ordinary school exhibitions. The children rendered their pieces with as much ease and gracefulnes: as persons of their age can. Some pieces recited were long, and mem- orizing them must have required time. The deportment of the little ones was decidedly good, and indicated the careful training prac- ticed at the Asylum. Mr. Mills’ object in traveling with a little band of his pupils, under the advisement of the Board exercising supervision of the Asy- lum, is to awaken a more active and general concern in its behalf. It is entirely depen- dent on voluntary aid for support, and its con- tinuance in this way tothe present time cer- tainly speaks well for the benevolence of the people of the State. The benefits which have recipients, and who shall tell of their reflex action upon the State, by rescuing so large a number from ignoranceand its attendant vices ! The fatherless and motherless children gathered there left to themselves would in many cases grow up as out-casts, having none to sympa- thize with them, or (o restrain them when way- ward, or teach them of the better ends of life, and eventually become pests, repaying the heartless public with grievous annoyance and burdens. Butthere they receive an impulse in the right direction which restrains their pas- sions, arouses new and brighter hopes, and tides them over the most dangerous period and sends them forward in the ways of wisdom. The State is not more strengthened by every virtuous citizen added to her number than she is by the rescue from ruin of her destitute orphan sons and daughters. We think Mr. Mills is the right man in the right place, and that he is doinga great work is beyond denial. His reward is sure, though it may be delayed until that great day wherein the actions of every one shall be tested by In- fallible Wisdom. The Poor House Again.—The circun.- stances of the case of frozen feet and consequent ampntation, at the Poor House in. this county, more fully stated is about this: The man (colored) was decidedly insane; was keptin the common jail of the county fora vear or more as being the safest place in the power of the Commissioners, While there, repeated at- tempts were made to secure him admittance into the Asylum at Raleigh, but all failed. the Commissioners finding that they must pro- vide for him at home, at least for=the present built an apartment at the Poor House for his especial use, and put him into it. Of coprse it had no fire-place, for it would,na@ be} safe to trust a crazy man to take care ofdire in a room by himself. Nor would it be safe to put an- other man into the room with him, except on the condition of sleepless vigilance. He had to be alone, and without the possession of any- thing by means of which he could do harm to himself or escape ‘from confinement. This arrangement ans\.ered very well while the weather was moderate; and when the cold nights came on blankets were given him and he was carefully and repeatedly wrapped up ir them. But when leit to himself he would not only throw them off but tear them into strings. Blankets after blankets to the number of 15 or 20 were so destroyed. Hv was at length moved into another room, one wall of which was kept warm by a fire against it in an adjoining room, and it was made as comfortable as possible with the means at command. It wasin this room where, during the coldest nights of the winter, ¢ his feet froze. It is not known on what partic- ular night this happened, for the man did not cease to move about, and uttered no complaint, and was on his feet from day to day until that preceding the one on which the Surgeon called to take them off. The ingenuity of the Over- seer, Mr. Bringle, wasexhausted in effurts to provide for the comfort of this poor fellow, and if he failed to prevent the catastrophe referred to, it is not certain that he could have done bet- ter than he did. Upon the whole, the case seems to have been one of those incidents which are liable to happen at any time in any place, against which it is not possible always to provide. Ifthe man had es- caped from confinement, and drowned himeelf in attempting to cross some stream of water, no blame would have been attached to the Overseer or the County Commissioners. Or if, instead of destroying his own life he had killed another, the provision made for his safe confinement would have exempted his custodians from blame. Extraordinary provisions might have saved the poor fellow his feet. TheState has under- taken to make these, and the Counties rely on it forthem. The blame, if any, attaches there- fore, more to the State than to our County officials, who, we learn, did what they could to give the unfortunate man the benefit of the State’s bounty but were refused, on the grounds of inability to afford him accommadations. We learn from one of our most experience and obseryant physicians, that dementia among the negroes has increased, in this county at Jeast, several bundred per cent., and if it be general, the State must become responsible for the safe- keeping of much larger number of upfortynates than she isSpow prepared for. =f been conferred are inestimable in value to the. — The Danville Times says, the reader will find elsewhere in to-day’s issue, an obituary of the late Samuel Hairston. The deceased, wo. are informed, was an officer in the U. 8S: army in the war of 1812, and went through much hard sere vice on the Canada frontier in the cam- paigns under Gen. Scott. He was for many years the largest slave holder in Virginia and the second. largest in the United States. Atthe time of the sars render of Gen. Lee, he and his family owned upward: of two thousand negroes. At the time of his death, he owned about fifteen thousand acres of land. His per- sonal property is estimated at forty thou- and dollars. Before bia negroes were wancipated, it could not have been less than a m Ilion. Mr. Hairston commenced his business car-er, we understand, at the age of six- teen, taking charge ot a large estate be- longing to his father at Hairston’s Ferry oo Staanton River between Charlotte and Halifax ccunties. . —————_ ~— + MUNICIPAL ELECTION. ’ Messrs. Epitors:—As the time for our next Municipal Election will soon be here, we would suggest that some -action should be taken to select suitable Conservative Candidates four Mayor, and the Board of Commissioners. As the present incumbents are not Candidates for re-election, it will be necessary to select new and suitable men—although we havea large Conservative Majority in the city, yet, we have on previous occasions given the Re- publicans representation on the Board of Com- missioners, but it seems they are no longer satisfied with representation on the Board, they must have the Mayor’s position also, and Mr. David L. Bringle, Postmaster, &c, is announced as the Republican, Civil Rights, dissembling Candidate for Mayor.—He is the Representa- tive of the party that has ruined and degraded our State—he represents Radicalism—Ciyil rights-ism and all the other isms and abomina- tions that our State has been cursed with for the last ten years, and yet he is not happy— but ifthe Conservatives should fail in doing their duty and by their indifference let the coming election go by default and suffer him to be elected Mayor, he~vould be delighted— the topmost round of the ladder of fame would have been reached by him—and he would be as happy as a big sun flower. It seems to us that the old system of indivi- dual and clique nominations should be wiped out. A Convention should be called for the purpose of making nominations, let us have a free and full expression of sentiment in regard to this matter in Convention. We should nofhinate geod and true mep, those who have the intereat of the respectable portion of the community at heart—those who will do their whole duty without fear or favor and those who will not campromise with Radi- cals or Ciyil rights men—for all true Conserva- tives should unite in opposition to those who are using their power aud their influence to humilate and degrade us.—We should have a Mayor who would execute the law, intelligently and impartially, one who would be prompt and diligent im the perforattnceof his official du- ty—one who wonld know no individual or clique but who would adhere strictly to the execution of the law. We do hope and trust that the Conservatives of Salisbury will be fully alive to the impor- tance of concert of action on the occasion of our next municipal election. Let us have a Convention by all means. P ict canna How Senator Ransom SaveD THE Sour FRoM PROBABLE BANKRUPTCY. —According to the statement of the Washington correspondent of the Baltis more Sun, Senator Ransom, of North Uarolina, in the closiag hours of the late | Congrese—when the almost riotous haste and confusion favored the smuggling of ’| obnoxious measures through the forme of legislation—performed a virtue which en- \ titles him to the grateful acknowledge-~ ments of the people of the South. It seens that a bill had passed both houses of Congress without notice, authorizing a writ of mandamus issued by auy Circuit Coart of the United :Siates against any State officer, to remain of full effect, nots withstanding the death or resignation of such officer. ‘The effect of the bill, as was ascertained, would be to compel the pay- ment of all the hogus bonds, State and municipal, issued during the Radical and carpet bag rule in several of the Southern States, which would bankrupt North Carolina, Georgia, and, perbaps, some other States. It is believed that the halders of some $6,000,000 of bogus rail- ryad bonds, issued by the North Oarolina Radical authorities, inspired this bill, and the common rumor is that Gen. Butler “worked up” the bill in bis ingenious style, by which suspicion as to its true intent was not aroused. ‘Ibe bill had already been enrolled, and was ready for the sigoatures of the presiding officers, when, through the watchfulness and prompt efforts of Gen. Raugom, it was arrested in the last stage before beeoming a law.— Exchange. That bill if it‘ had passed would have been about as effective as one to prevent the moon from rising. General Ransom was a brave and true Confederate soldier, and we regret to see this shallow attempt to manu- facture for him popularity on such slim pretext. It is confessing that he needed something as an apology for his quiet, silent, senatorial carreer. People will ask, does he desire to be a candidate for re- election to the Senate ? ————_—____ According to the last census in En- gland and Wales the females of the pop- ulation outnumbered the males by upward of half a million; but above the age of 25 the males exeeeded the females in nember.

Brown of the Rifle Guards, had the town’s fire engines out, on last Wedoesday evening. The oe- casion furnished much merriment for the crowd, but to us it suggested fuod fur very serious meditations. The difficulty with which the engines were filled, the time required for filling them com- pared with the very few moments required for discharging their contents, together with ‘their very short range, showed sadly how completely our tuwn is at the mercy of the fire fiend. In an extensive conflagration our present fire-equipments would be next to uselcess, and as heretofure the fire would be stopped only when there was nothing combustible within its reach. These are by no means comforting refiections, but they are sadly true nevertheless. Can’t something be done in the premises ? Anotherthing about which we wish to scold a little is this; when the town made an appro- priation to equip the Rowan Rifle Guard, it was with the express agreement, that this company was also to organize and act as a Fire company as well. Have they done so? Last Wednes- day was the first demonstration we haye seen, and even then, thoughit was a dull trade day, very few were out,and many of the clerks did not 80 out to assist in the practice with the engine, from some cause or other. This it strikes us, is singularly blind and suicidal, and in future we trust our young men will be encouraged to par- ticipate, for we ara all interested, deeply so, in this matter. gg The Emperor of Austria proposes shortly to visit his province of Dalmatia.

FRR RR SR I a MARRIED. In this County on the 18th, by Rey. J.C. Denny, at the residence of the bride’s mother Edmund E. Kluttz, and Miss Antonette C. Eagle. March 14th by Rev. W. Kimball, J. D. Ketchie and Miss Crissy E. Stirewalt, both of Rowan Co. Reha A TN ESC TE tC ER NaC tN DIED On the 12th of Februry, 1875, Mrs. Sallie A. Kerns fell a sleep in Jesus. This aflectionate sister was born the 15th of ' October, 1852, and departed this life at the | early age of 22 years 3 months and 27 days. Nothwithstanding the bridegroom came in the second watch of the night, she was found with her lamp trimed ane burning. In the fall of 1867 and at the age of 15 years she connected herself with the Evangelical Lutheran church and lived a consistent member of the same un- tilshe bid adien to the transitory things of time. Her last sufferings, which were severe, but only for a few days, were borne with patience and entire sub-mission to the Divine will. Her a tachment to her friends, her mother, her dear | children, and her affectionate husband was very great; but when the Lord called she was wil- ling to obey. Her last words were “Jesus is with me.” On Sunday the 14th, her funeral services were attended by alarge audience. A sermon was preached from the 23 Psalm, 4th verse “Yea, though | walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they com- fort me.” The mourning congregation then passed out by the corps and took the last look at her silent remains. I{er body was then very respectfully deposited in the burying ground at Union church. She leaves a sorrow stricken husband, two children, a mother and a brother, with many friends to mourn over their loss. She was a good neighbor, and affectionate wife, and a tender hearted mother. Her absence is very much felt in the neighborhood, in the church, and especiaily in the family. May God in His mercy bless her sorrow stricken family. R. L. B. Obituary. Died at his residence, Oak Hill, Pittsylvania county, Virginia, Mr. SAMUEL Hairston, in the Sihivest of his age. Of him, it may be truly said, those who knew him best loved him most. His deeds of charity he never paraded before the public eye, and he “did not let his right hand know what his left did”’ He was always moderate and retiring, and never sought or desired any public occupation. Although eminently prosperous, he had neither pride nor vanity, and never forgot the poor, the unfor- tunate and afflicted. He was always a kind and benevolent master to his slaves and secured their love.and affection as was exhibited by their devotion ia nursing and taking care of him to the Jast. His consideration for the feelings of others was of the most delicate nature. He was preeminuently honest and honorable in all his transactions. Bold, open and frank himself, he always scorned anything like treacheiy or deceitjin others. There never was a man more devoted to his family, and his life was speut in fulfilling his duties to them. His memory will ever be cherished in their heart of hearts by them. 1 CSL CA ENTE ET SOE ETS. TELE IEI NAIC AEDs n asetiihe SALISBURY MARKET.

THe Virermivs Inpemnuity.—It is stated that the Earl of Derby has accep- ginius, five hundred pounds sterling for each white and three hundred for each black man murdered. ane Judging from the telegrams and the Indiana papers, there is a great amount of lawlessness about the town of B aazil, among the miners. Many buildings have been burned and other property destroy- ed, all because the proprietors of the mines were talking ofintroducing the negro ito theit works.

A young barrister present was deputed*o take the widow into dinner Unfortunately he was under the impres- sion that his partner was the married lady whose husband had juss arrived in India. The conversation between them commenc- ed by the lady’s remarking how extremely hot it was. “Yes, it is very hot,’ returned the ) «1g barrister. Then a happy speech suggested itself <0 him, and he added, with cheertul smile. “But not so hot as the lace to which your husband has gone.” |. The look with which the lady answered this “happy speech” will haunt that hap- py youth till his death. It is a very common thing in this city to see an old party walking home very straight, at about two o'clock in the morning; and another common thing, too, is to hear somebody, Yafter this old map has staggered into the house, yelling “Lemme up, old woman—lemme up !” A Kansas hypochondriac, meditating upon the death of a dog-fancier in his neighborhood, gives vent to the mournful thought: “Our great men’re peterin‘ out kind o’ rapid like these times. Whiskey kills the inost. on em’; some tamble overboard, and ’oasionally one gits hung.” DEFALCATION.—The New Orleans pa- pers are filled with defalcations by clerka, One man has swindled his employer out of $12,000; another has been proved ‘desperately short” $18,009; and still an- other is a rogue to the tune of $10,000. Gambling and fast women are supposed to have absorbed those funds, Commer- cial honor in all parts of the country seems to have become a rarity, ee _ Just as a train started out on the Great Western road the other day a woman leaned forward and called to her husband who was ten feet away: “Say, Simon, did you wasb your feet and change your socks 7’ ‘No, by swan !—forgot all about it!” “Well,” she said as ehe leaned back, “I feel it ia my bones that there’s going to be a smashup afore we get to London, and if you’re killed, Vil just purtend I didu’t know ye !” SocraL Equality REPUDIATED BY NeGcrors.— A large meeting of the col- ored people of that place and vicinity wae held at Gordonsville, Va., Friday night to take into consideration the Civil Rights bill. ‘he meeting was addressed by two colored ministers in very conciliatory speeches, which were enthusiastically applauded by the sssemblage, and will have the effect, it is hoped, of preventing auy repture of the harmony between the two races, which has so long pres vailed. we Spaia has agreed to pay the United States $2,500 reparation for each Ameri- ean citizen who was killed as a prisoner on board the Virginius by the Cuban au- thorities last year. As they slaughtered forty-one unfortunate men, including Verona, Ryan, Cespedes, and Del Sol, Spai. will be compelled to shell out about $102,500 to Uncle Sam. It isu’t every man who would yalue his life as low as $2,590 even in Spanish gold. But no fillibusterer can properly claim to be worth more. ——_—_—_— ~<a “I am weary, now--my poor tired brain needs rest,” said Old MacStinger to a pretty, young school teacher who was boarding in the family; ‘‘will you take me to your room, my dear, where there is a fire, and read Milton’s Paradise Lost to me while I seek repose?’ “I'll rest your poor tired brain with this rolling-pin if you don’t get out of this—you miserable old deceitful hypocrite !’’ remarked Mrs. Mae- Stinger, emerging from the pantry very unexpectedly. “Give the old man a chance, cau’t you?” yelled the boy who was taking a slide down the banister. oo A Short Sermon. My friend was walking up State street, late one wiudy afternoon, when he ens countered a short sermon on temperance. The air was keen and cold, with “symp- toms” of snow. He had pulled his cap down over bia ears as far as possible, and buttoned his overcoat close to keep out the stinging lake wind, and was hurrying along at a pace that might rival Weston’s when he nearly ran over a little child not more than four years old, who had fallen on the sidewalk near him. “Heigho, sis!’ he exclaimed, lifting BE Se SG LNT RR TET NE © Sa teem Te PROT OH A ERE RRENS. 190 A ae jap wager cede b pacats tiie ~ieTX TrctaB to SS SCARED OUT OF A WIFE. © The narrative'which I am about to"te- late was told me one bleak, ¢old wight in a country parlor. It was one of those nights in mid-winter, when the wind sweeps over the land, making everything tingle with his frosty breath, that I was seated before a blazing fire, surrounde by « jolly half dozen boys and an old eight years old. It waa just the night without to make those within enjoy a good story, 80 that each of us had to tell his favorite story, save Mr. Green, aud as he was a jolly story-teller, we were somewhat surprised to hear him say: ‘I have no story that would interest you,’ so we had to find other entertainments for a while, when one of the boys told me to ask him how it happened that he nevér got married. So I did. “Well, gentlemen,” he began, “it don’t seem right for me totell you how that happened, but as it is about myself I don’t care much. You see when I was young we had to walk as high as five miles to chureh and singing-school, which was our chief enjoyment. But this don’t have anything to do with my not getting a wife, but I just wanted to show you that we had some trouble in them days in getting our sport. Jobn Smith avd I were like brothers, or like ‘Mary and her little Lamb.’ Where one went the other was sure'to go. We went to see sisters, and as we were not the best boys imaginable, the old gen- tleman took umbrage and wouldn’t allow us to come near the house; so we would take the girls to the end of the lane, and here we would have to take the fiual kiss. We soon got tired of that sort of fun, and I told John, onour way to singing school oae night, that 1 was going into the house, too. ile said the old man would run me if I did. I told him I was going to risk it any~ how, let come what would. He said he would risk it if I would. So home we went with the girls. When we got to the end of tie lane I told the girls we proposed going all the way. They looked at each other in a way I didn’t like so well, but said they (the old folks) would be ia bed, so they didn’t care if we did. They were a litile more surprised yet when I told them we thought of guing in a little while, but as all was quiet we had no trouble in getting into the kitch- en. ‘ben and there we had our court, und IT madeupmy mind to ask Sallie to be my wite the next time I came. It was now past the turn of the night, aud aa we had four miles to walk, I told John we had to be going. So we step- ped out on the poreh, butjust as we did 30, the sky was lit up by lightening, and one tremendous thunder peal rolled along the mountain side, Its echo had not died ont in the tar off vales until the rain ness of the clouds. We waited for it to stop until we were all asleep, when the girls said we should go to bed in the lit. tle room at the head of the stairs, which led out of the kitchen; as their father didn’t get up early we could be home be~ fore the old folk were astir. bidding the girls a sweet good-night— and hugging thema littlke—aud wishing them pleasant dreams, and promising them to be back on the next Saturday night, we etarted for bed. stood near the head of the stairs. Jobn was soon in bed, but as I was always a little slow, and full of curiosity, I was looking around the little room, At last I thought I would sit down on down I sat, when, stars of the east, I went plump into a big custard pie. her safely to her fect again. The lithe ragamufin put up a very grieved lip, and was going to ery; but stopped when he spoke pleasantly to her. “Whew! bare-foot, and such a day as this’—with alow whistle-‘why don’t you ran bome, sis, and put on your shoes and stockings, before you freeze your toes 2” “Don’t dot any shoes and stotins ” Dou’t got any, eh! How does that happen? Don’t your father buy you any shoes and stockings ?” “QO, no!’ she anewered, with a tone that meant “of course not,” and a iman- verindicating that she considered the reason amply snfficient, ‘no my pa dets drunk,’’—Star, ’ ~£>>—__——_ Decision by Judyje Settle.—Roscve vs. Hyman from Halifax.

I thought Jobn would die langhing, for j he said I had smashed the custard all to thunder, and the plate right in two. | You see we had‘to be awful quiet, 80 that the old man would not hear. | Iwas now ready to get into bed, 80 1 put the light out, and picked up my boots, thinking to put them in a more convenient place, when down my leg went through a pipe hole, which bad been cov- ered by paper, up to my hip. Now one part of me was up stairs, while the lougest pait of me was in the kitchen. As my leg was very long, it reached a shelf which was occupied with dishes, pans, coffeepots, etc., aud it turued over with a tremendous crash. The girls had not yet retired, and I could bear ihem iaugh fit to split their sides. I felt awful ashamed, and was scared unlil my heart wasin my throat, for I expected the old man every moment. IT extricated my leg from the confound- ed hole just iu time, for the old lady looked up into the kiteben from the room door, aud asked what all that noise was about. The girls put her off as best they could aud I weut to bed, while John was strang- ling under the cover to keep from Jiugh- ing aloud. We soon went off into the dreams with the hope of waking early. I wish I could tell you my dream, but it would take me too long. One mo- ment I would fancy myself by the side of Sallie, sipping nectar from her heaveu- bedewed lips, and next I would see the old man flourishing his cane above my head. This all came to an end by John giving me a kick. ° On waking avd looking around, I saw Jubn’s eyes as big as my fist, while the suo was beaming in at the window. What to do we couldn’t tell, for we heard the old man giving orders in the kitchen. Jobo looked out of the window and ae we would get down over the porch roof. - ‘Get out and dress as soon as _possibie, he said. _ Soin my hurry my foot got fastened in the bedclothes, and out I tumbled, head foremost; turned over and down the steps until [ struck the door, which was fastened by a wooden. button, and, it giving way, out I rolled in front of the old man.

Off I started for the barn, and when half way through the yard the dog set up a how! and went for me.. When I got into the barnyard, I had to run through a flock of sheep, and among them was an old ram, who backed up alittle aud started for me.—With one bound I escaped his blow, sprang Into the barn, and began to climb up the mow, when an old mother hen pounced upon my legs, picking them antil they bled. I threw myself upon the hay, and after John had slid down the porch into a hogshead of rain water, he came to me with one of my boots, my coat, and one of the legs of my paits. He found me completely prostrate. Part of my shirt, my hat, one leg of my pants, my vest, stockings, necktie and one boot were left behind. I vowed then and there that I would never go to sce another girl, and Til die before I will. Bully. I have been married twenty-two years. The first four years before 1 was married, I began farming with two hundred and fifty acres, iu Blue Grasa region. Ken- tucky. I handled cattle, hops, sheep and horses — principally the first two named— and lived, I thought, tolerably economi cally ; spent none of my money for tobacco in any way; neither betting a cent or diesipating in any way, and yet at the end of four years [ had little or no money. I then married a young lady of eighteen years of age—who had never done any housework or work of any kind except to make a portion of ber clothes. She had never made ashirt, darwers, pauts or waist- coat or even sewed a stitch oa a coat, and yet before we had been married a year she had made for me every one of the articles of clothing named, and knit numbers of pairs of socks for me—yes, and mended divers articles for me, not expecting an old hat or two. She had also made butter, sold eggs, chickens, and other fowls, and vege- tables to the amount of pear six hundred dollars iv cash at the end of the year, whereis, duriug the four years that ] was single I had never sold {ve cents worth —besides making me purely happy and contented with my home. And so far as to making mouey, we have made money clear of expeuses ever since we have up- dertaken the farm, and she has madc three hundred and fifty to five hun-~ dred dollars cvery year except not during the tim’, selling butter, eggs, and marketing of different kinds. My early expenses of fine clothing, etc., befure I was married were more than yearly ex- penses were after | was married combined with the expense of my wife and children and our farm has inereased from two bun- dred acres; and I believe that if 1 hed uot married it never would have increased absent from home six nightr, when my wife was at Lome, sivuee we were married, aud ler checks kiss as sweetly to me as they did the morning after I was married In tae CLerr or THE Rock.—In a recent volume published by the Cartars, entidled “Cleft of the Rock,” by that most popular writer Dr. Macduff, he illpstrates his subject by a very touching avecdote: “A Highland mother, at the close of Spring, was suddenly overtaken, in a wild glen among the mountains, by what was long recalled by her f-llow yillagers as “the great May storm.” After attempting in vain for some time. with her infant in her arms, to buffet the whirling eddies, she laid the child down among heather and ferns, in the deep cleft of the rock, with the brave resolution, if possible, to make her way home through the driving sleet, and obtain succor for her little one. She was fouud by the anxious neighbors next morning stretched cold and stiff on asnowy sbroud. Butthe cries of the babe directed themto the rock crevice, where it lay, all unconscious of its dan- ger, and from which it was rescued in safety. Many long years afterwards that child returned from distant lands, a disa- bled soldier covered with honorable wounds. ‘The first Sabbath of his home- coming, on repairing to a city church ‘(where he had the opportanity of wor- shipping God after the manner and in the cherisbed language of his furefath- ers,) he listened to an aged clergyman untolding, iu Celtic accents, the story of redeeming love. Strange to say, that clergyman happened to be from the same Highland gleu where he himself bad spent his youth. Stranger still, he was illustrating the Divine tale with the an- ecdote, to hiw so familiar, of the widow and ber saved child.! A few days afier~ wards, that pastor was summoned to visit the death-bed of the old soldier. ‘I am the son of the widow,’ were the words which greeted the former, a3 he stood by the couch of the dying man. ‘Lay my bones beside hes in the churchyard among the hills. ‘The prayers she used to offer for me have been answered. I have found deliverance in old age where 1 found it in my childhood—in the cleft of the Rock ; but it is—the Rock of Ages!” Punxcy’s ADVICE TO A BaBy.—Don’t come into the world in cold weather. If you are the heir of a branch of the house of Smith, by no means permit your par- euts to christen you Howard, or Stanley or Clinton, or Spencer. If you area lady baby, don’t let them call you Mary Ann, or Mary Jane, or Sophronia. Think of your future busband’s misery ander such conditions. Be intensely cross to évery body. Nobody asked whether you wish ed to enter the world, and you have a right to protest against being brought into it. Cry Instily. It is good for the lungs, and it generally results:in something nice being produced to quiet. you. Allow no one to talk politics in your presence.— Howl when you are smacked, and resist all attempts to put you to bed early. cle, Dreams, Hints to ] Shirt be A queer book. Address T.

Saxispury, N. C., October 10th, 1874. Messrs Meroney & Bro. Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of the Guanahani Huan, I will state that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, » thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in use in our country. In the month of February I bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton,:and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn. On the 8th of October 1 picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, § pounds of seed cotton; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, 1 picked 14 ounces the same day—showingga difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basia, I find that the land without the Guanahsni would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre; with Guanshani it will yield 13 pounds to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—showing a difference of over 600 per cent. I have not had an opportanity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. On one acre of ground, as a test, I sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circu has average 700 pounds of sced cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds. / E. A. PROPST. Davix Co., N.C. Messrs Meroney & Bro. GENTLEMEN :—In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of Guanahani Guano, I would sa that I used it last Summer on an old field which would have produced very poorly under ordi- nary circumstances but which under the application uf Guanahani yielded me a Lon good crop. I had one test row and this showed a difference of over three hundred per cent. in favor of the Guano.

Ah! ’tis in vain the world is bright, — And loved ones woo with. tone; If there I mies the glancing light And murmer, which are thine alone. And had I entered, through the gate, Which guards the sacred throne of Fame, And on the records of the Great, The Laurel wreathed my deathless name, Or stood I, with unwearied feet. Upon wealth’s topmost, pearlset shrine, And angel voices, low and sweet, Whispered, Behold 'tie justly thine. Then, even then, if thou shouldst call With thy loved fragrance unto me; I'd lose it. Yes I’d lose it all, One moment but to fly to thee. And then though Heaven might veil its face, And earth regard with loathing scan; I’d drink—a wretch in foul disgrace, A drunkard—yet a happy man!— ~ And as within my vains I traced The workings of thy mystic power; F’en while I knew that power erased Each vestige of my sinless hour; Still, still ’'d quaft, and when at last, A consciousness no more was given, In slumber deep, myself I cast,— A child of hell, that dreamed of heaven.

Some of his asseciates went, and thete was no end to the wonderful stories they told of what they saw and heard. Allen felt a rieing desire to go too. He maafully re- sisted it, however. “Come,” eaid one of his companions, “go with as toenight.”’ “No,” answered Allen, “not to-night.” “So you always say—unot to-night: come, decide to go at once.” “Not to-night,” still answered Allen, walking away. “You shall have a ticket if you'll only come,” still urged his companion. Allen shook bis head. “No, no,” said he; “no; uo; keep it yourself ; I cannot take it.” “How obstinate |" rejoined the other ; why, what can be your reason ?” Allen hesitated a moment. “My mother told me not to go to the theatre ; therefore I cannot go,” he at Jength firmly replied. His companion ceased to urged him longer ; he beheld in Allev’s face » settled purpose to obey, and he left him without saying a word more. He trusted to her knowledge, and con- fided to ber judgement, and he meant to obey her ; and what was better, he was not afraid to say so.

Hill: Dear Sir :—You invite my opinion on the legality and effects of the “Usury Law.” jast passed by our Legislature. This act fixes the legal rate of interest for the State at six per centum per annum, but permits the rate to be made by special contract as big as eight per centam fur a valuable con- ration, such as the loan of money or sale of property. Before the State was recon- stracted, six an centum. with very low, stringent penaltier for taking any exeess. Subsequently, the Legislature by an act au- thorized the lenders of money, o y. to charge the rate of eight a eeatum, when it was so specified on the face of the note. By the resent law, the farmer. merchant. manu- acturer or mechanic. for their lands, goods and products sold on time, can take b spe- cial coutract 8 per cent. as well as the lender of money. The rate of interest, as you see, is not changed. It is exactly the same, it has been for several past But the - sons and vbjects to which the highest rate is applicable is enlarged. This is as it should be. For is there any good reasun why the lender of money should be entitled to a higher compensation for the use of his mon- ey than the farmer, merchant, manafacturer or mechanic should receive for his lands, good or labor ? The important question arises under the law whether it applies to National Banks or not. Having given some attention to the subject, I entertain the decided cunviction that it does apply to them, and that they to conform to the law pre- seribing the rate per centum allowed by the act. The Natioual Banks are authorized to charge the same rates allowed by the laws of the States in which they are located. and no greater. Should they charge a great- er rate, they cannot recover it at law. and are besides liable to a forfeiture of their charters uuder the National Banking act. The usury law, then, not having increased or diminished the rate heretofore authorized to be charged does not appear to be in con- flict with, abridge, impair, or infringe, the rights of the National Banks in any respect. Their rights are maintained on an equality with all persons and State Banks. Indeed it appears to have enlarged them, for if they are compelled tv purchase collaterals or other property pledged as security for money loaned, they can resell on time the property so purchased and take 8 per cent. interest on the note given. Heretofore, no such a note, only six per centuin was lawful. It will not be pices that the severity of the penalty —the forfeiture of double the value of the mouey lent, and the fine of from $100 to $1,000 on the officers of the Bank, can be in conflict with the National Bank act. On the contrary, they appear tu be auxiliary to the enforcement of its provisions, wich haye been heretofure wholly disregarded in the discount of notes. : Maiutaining then, that the Usury Law is applicable to National Banks, as well as to the citizens aud State Banks, you oatur- ally inquire how it will effect the prosperity of the State This is an important inquiry. It is alleged that it will drive capital from the State. That it will go to Virginia, South Carolina and other States for invest- meut; it will seek United States bonds, Railroad bonds &c. Ofthe millions now on depositiu the Banks in the State, aud inthe hands of individuals, to be luaned at from 12 to 24 per centuin per anuum, it is probable that some comparatively small amounts may fiud investmeuts in other States. Still the dividends, interest or profits. of all sums so invested-will come back to the State, and ultimately the principal itself (if prudent and safe investtnents are made abroad). If the investment is trausferred to another State at a higher rate ef income than our industrial pursuits will bear, and the proceeds, interest or dividends are returned tu the State, where the investor lives, it is not appareut that either the State or a citizen will be injured thereby. Bot few industries in this, or the United States, can affurd tu pay vyer six per centum when all, or even one-half. the capital in- vested in them is borrowed at that rate. If the borrower dves uot realize over six per centum on the money borruwed he has lust his time, labor and svlicitude to no useful parpore to himself or the State, and better or him that he had not taken the loan or made an investmeut of it. But it is appre- hended that comparatively few would be in- duced to invest iu lands, facturies, bouds and stocks of other States. What then will they invest in out of the State? The reply is, United States bonds. These are already above parin guild, even the 5 per cent. bonds. The 6s are now quoted at $120 in currency, or a premium of 20 per cent. This sum, or $105,50 10 gold, invested in a 6 per cent. guld bond will only purchase a bond of $100 which will give of iuterest $6 in gold or $6 84 in currency, now depreciated 14} per centum. Now this $120 currency, iavested at home at 8 per cent.. will yield $9 60 in kind or $2.76 mure than the same amount in the bound. Now take the 5 per cent. gold bond, qnoted at $116 in currency, aud it yields you only $5 70 in surrency, while the $116 invested at 8 per cent. interest, at home, gives you $9.28 or $3 58 more than the gold bonds pay. or at that rate fur a greater or less sum. Thus. we see that iu investing in the best Government bonds issued, the profit over thein at 8 per cent. investinent is $2.76 and $3 <8 respectively on the one hundred dollars. It would appear that but few per- sons would abandou 8 per cent. at home, and uader their close observaiiun, for United States bonds, even if they were exempt from taxation. The State. county and town taxes, except in a few cities, do not aggregate oue- half the difference of yield in the bouds and home rates at 8 per cent. Then there is no time to lost aud commisssions on the purchase of the bonds. Besides a large proportiun of the Government sixes are liable to be called in aud redeemed at par, at any time, if the Government elects to do so. when the pre- mia is paid for the bood of 5 per cent. or 6 per cent., in gold, will be lost to the inves- tor, and the proceeds returned to the State for investment, Furthermore, these political securities are not regarded by capitalists as the must fav- orable investment, especially when issued by a Republican Government. They are ever subject to fluctuations, with the changes and vicissitudes of governments-—mal-admin- istration, intestine strife, domestice and foreign’ wars, always depreciate them and sometimes bankrupt nations as well as States. A large majority of all the U. 8S. bonds are now held in Europe where the rate of interes est is low, and war there ur here might drive them back home, with a very depressing in- fivence on their value. Their present high price is only maintained by the foreign de- mand and the iniquitous financial measures NO adopted by the Congress to give them credit. Of over $1,700,000,000 still outsauding, foreigners own at least $1,000,000,000, and the banks about $400,000,000 makin $1,400.000,000. leaving probably about $300.000,000 in the hands of private parties in our country. The larger portion of these are probably invested in trust estates, and hot sale even for banking purposes. You will also recollect that the principal portion of the Government sixes are not pay- able, on their face, in gold. Congress by an — ar resoleton: ie 1869, declared that they shou paid. But, ¢, is this bindin, after a sale of the Sdede eed may not ome future Congress repeal it ? ‘Every oppres- sive power of taxation upon the people, and odious financial schemes, have been resorted to by the Government to sustain the credit of these bonds. The present unwise Bank- ing system has been maintained to the great detriment of the industries and labor of the country, under the pretence of furnishing a circulation of abvat $33,000,000 for the coan- try ata cost of $20.000,000, annually, in gold, when the actual commercial wants of the eouatry require over $1,000.000,000 in cur- rency. The National Banks have been, and still are, great pets with the present Administra- tion. They havea monopoly of all the Bank curreney authorized to be issued either by the Federal or State authority. The lat- ter may charter State Banks of issue, but all their circulation has to pay a tax of ten per centum to the Federal Government, which amounts to au actual prohibition of Banks of issue. Thus, we see the Federal Govern- ment has farmed out to the Nationtiun Banks the sole right to provide a currency to the people except in so far as it authorizes legal tenders to be issued. Of the $36,000,0U0 of legal tenders in circulation, a large pro- portion of them is borrowed by the National Banks from the people at 6. 8 or 10 per ceat. annual interest, called deposits; thus mak- ing almost an absolute monopoly of the cur- rency. In this way. the rates of interest have been increased and maniutained at from 12 to 24 per cent. per annum. Now add to this amount the sum in the hands of the regular and private brokers who charge the small dealers and laborers from 20 to 50 per cent. discount on paper, and you see how aud why it is that the cuuntry dves not flourish and prosper. What farmer, mechanic, or laborer, bor- rowing at such rates, can make anything, add any proper to his estate, or comfort for his family, beyond the interest he pays at even the lowest rates? Twelve per centum, long con- tinued, will bankrupt nine-tenths of the pop- ulation of the richest and most productive country under the.sun. It wili soon transfer all the properties of the industries and profits of the working and toiling millions to the few capitalists and land sharks. What a tempta- tion to a man in active business pursuits worth $5,000 or $10,000, after paying his debts, to sell all, cease to farm, run his saw mill, factory, or foundry, and become a money-changer at 1 per cent. per month! He or they would prop- ably accumulate faster while they could find responsible borrowers, but the community, in the end, would soon become bankrupt, and the lenders would have to take the property at their own price, and with high taxes, and no purchasers for the property, may be reduced to the same unfortunate condition as the borrow- ers—that ofbankruptcy. If the formerabsorbs all the profits of the latter, Othello’s occupa- tion is gone, and the community and State suf- fer. Money, merely as money, creates no wealth, It is unproductive. The loan of it will bring to the owner an interest, which the borrower pays, but this produces no additional property, creates no new wealth to the State. Money is instituted by law, is the legal representative of Property, a medium for the exchange of values. t is its application to labor, its control of labor, that creates new property and resource for the people and the States. The mere money len- der is net a producer, but a consumer of pro- duction. To this extent, only, he makes a market and encourages production: his money is the motive power that brings together, com- bines the labor and materials and makes prop- erty, creates value. Money as instituted by Jaw, has a legal power over al] other species of property, itis alegal tender in payment of debts, a medium of exchange of all properties, accumulates interests, represents and measures all products, and is valuable in proportion to the uses and purposes to which the law assigns it. Being thus endowed with attributes and powers, by law, over all other values, it would appear strange that the law should not regulate its rate of interest, whether in the hande of in- dividuals, associations or Bankr, Its facility of transfer and combination also greatly adds to its power. Double the rate of interest of the dollar and you double its value or power over property and labor’ The precentage on money governs the rent or use of all property, and the price of labor. as the law of gravitation governs a falling body; hence, its per centum sheuld be regulated by law in order to control its power over property, production and la- r But, that we may see more clearly the rela- tions of capital to production and labor, let us refer to Commissioner Wilson's Statistical Re- port onthis subject. In 1869, he estimates the total investments in properties and industries in the United States at $31,000,000,000. while the average net revenue or income from these was only $1,000,000,000, or 3 1-10 per centum. The average increase of money in notes, bonds, bank stock, &., in all the States, is estimated at 8 percent. per annum. We are without statistca on this question applicable to North Carolina alone. But itisdoubted whether the net income from all the properties of all the industries in our State, for the last five years, will exceed two per centum annual profit, while money has averaged 10 per cent. per annum, making a difference in favor of interest-bearing obligations of 8 percent over the aggregate in- dustries of the country. If this be so, is it not apparent that interest, discounts and dividens are silently and surely appropriating and absoring the larger po. tion of the property and productions, and that there is no just relation between the increase of capi- tal and the profits of industry. Money at 8 per cent. per annum, with the interest reinyest- ed annually will double itself about every ten years. By this time it has absorbed the securi- ties it rests upon. Hence the opinion expressed of the periodical panics saidto have recurred about every ten years since 1837 ; when the day of final reckoning comes, the borrower proving insolvent, a panic follows, property declines to half its former value, hard times ensue, hunger, famine and distress prevade the land—becauee interest has appropriated a large portion of the products of labor and industry, These are the legitimate fruitsof the exces- siye rates of interest in all countries.—The pro- Portion of 2 per cent.on industries to 8 per Cent. on capital ought to satisfy the cupidity of the most avaricious.—How tempting to all who can afford it, to abandon labor and production and bank on or lend their money. Ought then the disparity between these sources of income to beso great? Isit not detrimental to all developments and industries, as well as to the labor which, combined with capital, create the wealth, power and greatness of the State? The changes in investments resulting from the enforcement of the legal rates will doubtless be inconyenient tomany, and injuriously to 75.---WHOLE NO. 79-. ty seme. Ifthe power given to mortgages is . presively exercised, great wrong may couge te individual cases. itis hoped such instances will be of rare occurrence. Eight per centam is a large income on capial in almost an coun- try, and was eo regarded in North be-" fore the war. _ The opinion is also entertained that our Na- tional Banks that purchased their bonds before’ the recent advance, can still realise from 8 te ten per cent. dividends, They have heretofore averaged about 12 per cent., including their re-* serves. They can, it is believed, still discount xd commercial paper, taken in regular and egitimate business <ransactions, at the rate reed upon by the merchant, farmer, or ‘holder of the same ; but no paper made to be discoun- ted ata greater rate than 8 per cent, Such would be usurious iftaken at a discount. ills and notes These legitimate commercial constitute a large proportion of their discounts in some Banks. en if the reduced rates of interest enable the farmer, merchant, mechanic and manufacturer to borrow at 8 instead of 15 per cent., they will leave 7 per cent. profit or advantage in their business. This will impart greater energy, activity, life and prosperity to eat lesan oO oor pa thie, the Hecke will partake, as well as the other property of ' their stockholders, There will sane - mand for ee on discounts, offered will be better and safer, and will be kept active, instead of being held idle; waiting to get a ar doubtful rt at 18 cent. perannum. It is not, therefore, clear that Banks and Bankers will be Satna afiec- ted by being cenfined to the highest rate of in- terest ever allowed by law in ie State. The effects of a low rate of interest is to stimulate and multiply production. This increases wealth and prosperity. It also appreciates the value of all property both real and personal. Ie gives the property holder and laborer a margin fur profits, hence the appreciation.— When interest is 13 per cent., $100 will Z chase as much property as $200 will when it ie only 6 per cent. railroad share= yielding 10 per cent. dividend?is as valuable as two shares yielding only 5 per cent. I haye thus concisely stated some of the rea- sons I entertain for the opinion tnat the age of the act was;wise and judicious. I have considered it purely as a question of policy for the entire people of the State. To further illustrate the affects of low rates for money, Jet us suppose that two steamship companies are organized to run in the trans- portation business from Wilmington to Liver- 1, each with a capital of one million of dol- ars. They are in competition with each other in the carrying trade, and both working on borrowed capital. The rate of money averag- ing about four per cent in England, the Liver- pool company get their million at 4 per cent., while the Wilmington company pay 12 per cent. The Liverpool company pays $40, annually of interest, while the Wilmington company pays, for the same time and amount, $120,000 of interest, or $80,00@ more annually, Now, if the profits in the business do not am- ount to more than 12 per cent net, it is manifest that the Wilmington company is working for the public for nothing, and insolvency is una- voidable, while the Liverpool company is mak- ing 8 per cent. clear profit ; a good investment, where money commands only 4 per cent. This illustrates the principle of low and high rates of interest on all industrial pursuits. It ap- plies toevery farmer, merchant, manufacturer and mechanic, who borrows money in our State. While his business is absorbed by the one rate, he would thrive and prosper on the other. This also ere the reason why the greater portion of the carrying trade between this and European countries is done in foreign bottoms. While most new countries have higher rates of interest than old and long estab- lished governments maintain, it is’ manifest that, if money could be furnished throughout the United States atthelow rate it is in France, England and other countries, it would increase labor and its rewards—thus elevating that clase—create new elements for it, revive and multiply industries of all kinda, double the value of land and other property, and vastly enlarge and extend productions and pore tions. With the varied and inexhaustible re- sources of this extended country, we conld defy the cheap labor of Europe. It would come here, and soon our exports would give us the balance of trade, and the gold of other coun- tries would come to purchase our varied and multiplied productions. As with the United States, so, relatively with North Carolina, dis- tinguished for the variety of her climate, the fertility of her soil, the value and variety of her minerals, the abundance of her water pow- er, the industry and integrity of her people, she only asks equal position with other States and nations, and her people will again become contented and prosperous beyond her sister States. Since writing the foregoing I Jearn that the Legislature has expressed Se to Bal Sa the operation of the Usury Law until next Fall, This may be wise, and will give all persons time to adjust their business relations to the re- quirements of the law, and avoid some cases of hardship which migpt have arisen. Nearly al) the old States of the Union have maintained their usury laws, limiting moi obligations to 6 or 7 per cent., except Illi and some of the reconstructed States. In these the tendency seemsto be to return to (heir statutes against nsury. Their experience is that high rates paralyze industries and dimin- ish productions as weil as the value of proper- ty, thus impoverishing individuals and destroy- ing the resources of the State. ft is the surplus productions ef a country that give it wealth and power. In proportion as these are increased the money of the world will come to purchase them. And now, sir, if our Legislators will offer fair and just terms of adjustment of the public debt, call eee ene to remodel our Conatita- tion, and save our railroads from speculators and rings, they can return to their homes, feel- ing that they have rendered the State some service. Very truly, yours, Ww. JonNetox. 2 In a recent lecture at Cork, Jobn Mitchell said: “The London Times indeed has disa covered adiegraceful crime of which I have been guiliy—viz: that I was a Southern Confederate during the late war in Amer- ica. As to this last charge I own the soft impeachment, I was a Confederate, and so were all the best men that I met io America. [lfear, hear!] My three sons served in the Confederate army, aud two of them fell in battle. I am not such & craven recreant as to affect to be asham- ed of that cause.” On Satarday last ibis brave and true man died in Ireland. He had crossed the ocean in a weak state of bealih to stand for Parliament at the req uest of his countrymen, and though he was twiee pissed there was no probability of his being allowed to take bis seat. With an exchange, we eay there was nothing low or groveling about John Mitchell. The people of the South respected and ad- mired him while living and sincerely mourn his death._— News.

We are offering liberal inducements to persons canvassing for the Watchman. ie The Sapreme Court of the United States has decided that the Constitution dces not confer the right of sufferage on any one; and consequeutly, the right of women to vote ia not conceded. —— ie” The more we read and study the great speech of the Hon. Matt W. Ran- som the better we like it. We give some extracts thia week and will continue todo so hereafter as our space will permit, North Carolina certainly has cause to be proud of her representation in Congress. She was never abler represented eitber in the Senate or in the House. It would be a glorious thing if a copy of Ransom’s speech could be put ia the hands of every Northern man and woman. a (eHow is it that the mails from the North are so very irregular of late? The daily papers from Raleigh, the News and the Sentine!, come to us two or three ata time, and then again scveral days elapse without any, and we fail to get gome two or three each week, Not only we, but we hear subscribers to these pa- pers complaining. The same may be said of the mail matter from farther North. How is it? And why isit? We desire to call attention of Col. T. B. Long, the Special Postal Superintendent, to this great annoyance, with the hope that he will see that it is speedily corrected. a > Elliott, of Statesville, who killed Neal, last Summer, has been pardoned out of the Penitentiary, after a confine- ment of about foar mouths only. What fs the use of having laws to punish crime? Marder trials of late are simple mocker- ies, burlesques on justice. ‘Ihe cowardly assassin and murderer is protected rather than punished. The failure to punish murderers with death is a crime against humanity and Heaven for which the whole country is suffering fearful retribution, though the sniveling sentimentalists and misguided humanitarians are only respon- sible for this great injustice. Let murder- ers and criminals of every description be punished: It isa duty imposed on hu- man government .by divine law. COLL. Wm JOHNSTON'S LETTER ON USURY. We hope that every reader of the Watchman will carefully peruse and study the able letter of Col. Wm. John- ston on Usury, which appears in to-day’s paper. It is conclusive, unanswerable. Col. Johnston is not only the ablest fi- nancier, but one of the wealthiest and most respectable citizens. His opinions on this subject are, therefore, entitled to the highest consideration and respect. He takes up all«the arguments againat the new usury law and successfully com- bats them. He leaves no ground fon the free money men to stand on, and shows that the prosperity of the people and the States depends upon a low rate of in- terest. As the money ring will be apt to make an effort to bring about a reaction againat the Usury law by the mecting of the next Legislature 80 as to have the law repealed, we hope that Col. Johnston’s letter will be filed for future study and reference. ee Es The South is to be afflicted with a lecture tour from Miss Anna Dickinson. She had better be cultivating a flower gar- den or nursing children, if she can find nothing more becoming her sex. Lec- taring by women is only admissible in the family circle When a woman ap- pears on the public rostrum as an orator or leader in politics, or a teacher in medi cal, physical, moral or social science, she overieaps the bounds of nature and hes comes unsexed. Ifthe great Apostle ia to be esteemed as authority, it ia not only a shame, bat acrime for a woman thus to appear. Women lecturers are the creatures of that peculiar sort of North- ernism that produced Free Loveism, Spir- itualism, Beecherism and that glories in black mailing and barlotry. The South hae generally kept free of such things, and we hope her people will give Miss Anna Dickinson and all such spinsters or nion- strocities, whether married or not, “a wide berth.” It is enough that we have the old ghoal and authoress of the lies in Uncle Tom’s Cabin living on the coast of Florida. —_—_—_—~oo-—______ DELEGATES TO THE CoN- VENTION. It has hitherto beeu the especial pride of our State in the selection of Delegates to a State Convention to send the ablest aud best men in the community. This is wise. For the framing or amending of a Constitution under which the people are to live for ycars, is no small watter, and sheuld be entrusted to the hands of her wisest and most far seeing men as a matter of prudence. It should net be made an occasion for conferring a corrupt- ment npon any merely populor favorite. The wusise+s to be attended to is too im- portant to be entrusted to superficial or uoproved men. The eeleetion should have a very close reference to fitness and qualifications for the trust. The delegate should be of well known ability, and fa- =,| the people. He should be a statesman, ; miliar with legal and Constitatioval forms, as well az a thorough and practical knowl- edge of the wants and ‘requirements of not @ time-server; av honest man, noi ® trickster; an humble-miuded man, not a self-conceited impious fellow, ° fearlessly rushing where wise men would tread with eaution. We throw out these suggestions to incite the public mind to reflection on thia subject with the view of securing proper nominees to the Convention to be held this year. . ee Bw The people vf Charlotte exhibit a commendable pride in the energy they are putting forth to secure a grand aud succesful -celebration, on the 20:h of May, in honor of the Ovutennial Anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde- pendence. This is a matter in which all North Carolinians should fee! an interest. The event to be celebrated never fails to awa- ken their pride and make them love and honor North Caroliva more. It is theres fore fit that the descendants of the brave and noble men who rendered the Old North State immortal by their glorious deedg, should come together on the Cens tennial day to do honor to their memory. Let them come from all parte of the State South and nation, for they are not con- fined to any county in particular, although it is proper the duty should be performed in Mecklenburg. The suecess of the celebration is dependent on the interest North Varolinians feel and take in it, and it is to be hoped that material aid will be rendered and liberal econtribations made from all sections of the State aud Soath in order that the celebration may be wor- thy of our people aud the event they honor. Government aid having been refused, the expenses will be defrayed by private contributions. This is as it should be, since every one may bave an opportunity to show his appreciation of the occasion by contributing to its suc- cess. . The aid of all citizens of the State is invoked, and if there are any in Salisbury who wish to.contribute, and we doubt not there are, they may have an opporta- nity to do so by calling on Mr. Theo. F. Klattz who will receive and forward any sum that may be left him for the pur- poze. a SENATOR RANSOM’S GREAT SPEECH. The greatspecch of Senator M. W. Ransom continues to attract the attention of the press of other States.—'They are filled with extracts from it, and the fact that each paper we peruse copies different portions, is evidence of the force and beau- ty of the whole. The Richmond Enquirer says: “A more elaborate or exbaustive argament could not have been made, while in beau. ty of style and elegance of diction it will compare favorable with the most celubra~ ted orations that have been preserved to us either from ancient or moderu times. The simple objec: of the orator seems to have been to lay before the couatty a full and calm statement of the whole cause of quarrel-—or rather, to giye all the reasons that could be adduced to show why there is no further cause of quarrel, between the North and South ; and it is to be regret~ ted that a copy of the speech could not be placed in the possession of every fami- ly in both sections of the country. We have read the greater portion of it over, and find nothing which should not meet the approval of the most prejudiced and unreasoning partisan, if be still have the amallest particle of love of country, venes ration for ils past, or hope for ita futare, left in hia selfish constitution. While we cannot give General Ransom’s speech in full, there are portions of it which we feel we should be derclect in our duty not to reproduce, if only to afford our readers the opportunity to judge of the merits of the whole by the strength and beauty of its parts. The reply to the apparent assumption on the part of the Republicans of the North that the Southern people are still dangerous to the peace of the country— that they are a band of traitors, red~hand- ed murderers and assassins, stained with barbarism, and guilty of the blackest deeds in human history, he said: Perhaps there is something in the his. tory of this Southern people that justifies this frightful suspicion and fills the minds of Senators with alarm and dread. ‘hat cannot be, For they are the children of brave English ancestors who, for love of civil and religious liberties, left the shores of Europe and settled the New World. They are the immediate descendants of the bold and wise men who helped to ess tablish American Independence, and to frame this grand magnificent government. ‘Their illustrous fathers have certainly handed down to them the paasion of [iler- ty and the principle of Coustitutional freedom. We have inherited it for eight hundred years from our ancestors; but those ancestors have not transmitted any taint of or example for secret treason. In the English heart the spirit of conspiracy never found a genial home. It is the growth of other soils. But have not re- cent events, you will say, furnished -rea- sonable grounds for these apprehensions of a seeret colossal organization hostile to the government? Has not the South just emerged from a gigantic war which men- aced the very eaistence of the Union? That is very true; butremember that it was open, bold, degant war—threatened for yeara, proclaimed here, published to the world; declared by the press, from pulpit aud the hustings; \the opiniowef mankind and the-blessings of Heated voked in its bebalf, and the lives of 4 ‘ple offered to vindicate its jastice. Itgwas no concealed, hidden, mysterious masked conspiracy. Had it been, never, ‘never could it have enlisted the devoted hearts of the noBle people who sacrificed every- thing but honor around its shrine. Its purposes were spoken here; they were never concealed or denied. Its eouneils were in the light of Heaven. Its lines of hattle strecbed across the. coptinent,, Brave hearts in broad day were its de tenses, and around it.clustered the hopes and pride of a pure. and patriati¢ , people. Are courage, trath, honor, consistency, fortitude, and unsullied virtue evidences that the people who possess them will descend ae that high estate, and, for~ getful of all daty, resort to the lowest; practices of cowardice and crime? If this ‘be true, haman character is indeed worth- less, national honor a mockery and an imposture ? . Senatorr, if you will think for a moment: if you will reflect upon the eharacter of the people whum you denounce, their history, their associations, the language they speak, their great ancestors, ‘their brotherhood with yon for neatly a’century, and their position now, you cannot be-~ lieve this calumny. Do you, can yoa, believe that a people from whom bave sprung in each succeeding generation fur one hundred years a line of statesmen, divines, scholars and heroes inferior to none in any portion of the Union have suddenly decended uuder the shadow’ of your civilization to the depth of barbar- igor? Does history oc human experience justify any such conclusion ? And yet you call now upon the public opinion of the world to believe that one- half of our whole nation, brothers” in blood with you, sharers of the same in- heritance of your fathers, honored Ameri- can freemen, educated, virtuous, and associated with you—you call upon the world to believe that they are now guilty and habitually guilty of darker crimes than have ever been committed in human history. Aud instead of devoting our} energies, our patriotism, our intelligeace, aod our virtues here to develop, reform, and improve this great country, we are now carrying on a war on the floor of the Senate with each other almost as bitter, and I fear not quite as manly, as that in which we were engaged afew years ago upon the Potomac and the Susquehan- na‘ Senators this is wrong. Before God it is wicked, Cannot we stop it? An incident in history occurs to me now which I do not know that I have thought vf for twenty years. J remember the story, told I think by Thucydides, of the two Greek generals who had not spuken for years. A bitter and herditary feud separatedthem. ‘The Persians were at the gates of Athens. ‘The lines of battle were drawn in front of the city. The Persian hosts, vastly euperior in number, confronted the thia liue of the Greeks, and {the great fear with the city was that the dissension between the two generals might cause defeat and ruin. Just before the battle commenced, the historian says, trom either wing of the Greck lines the rival leaders were seen approaching in front of their troops, and simultaneously reaching the centre impulsively seized each other’s hands and exclaimed—lI remember the old Greek words —“Let us bury our anger.’ Need I repeat that victory shone upon that godslike act of patriotism.” They burricd their anger; and why cannot yon and I, the North and the South, shake hands and bury our anger? I think I know the South. I was bora South of the Potomac. My ancestors have lived there fur two hundred years. I was raised there; I was educated there. I hardly know of any other place. Every - thing I have is there, I iove Iftr_ people and Iam with them. I see them at home. I seethem in Louisiana. I sve them in ‘Texas. I know them in Virginia. I am in the very bosom of the South, and I think the sentiment I utter here to-day is the seutiment of the people. I do not think—I know it is their sentiment. In reply to Senator Edmunds’ allusion to Genera) Lee, Senator Ransom said: . I was not present when the discussion took place between my friend, the Sena tor from Georgia (Mr.Gordon), aud the distinguished Senator from Vermont, (Mr. Edmunds), I did not hear the Senator when he alluded to the name of Genera! Lee. I regret that Idid not, and for a very different reason from what that Sen- ator may suppose. The mention of that name, Mr. President, can never giye me anything but pleasure. If for a moment: at any time iv this debate I had lost sight of my duty; if | had permitted personal resentment and sectional passion to obs scure the path [ should tread; if I had forgotten the high character that should attach to a Senator of my country, let me assure the Senator that he coald have mentioned no name with more talismanic power to bring me back to the line of my own and my country’s honor. The very memory of the name of Lee now reminds me that this is not the place nor the time’ to vindicate a life that has passed to the tribunal of history; but I will say that uame inspires me with higher aud purer devotion to my country. it elevates me. above sectional lines, it lif's we over local and temporary prejudices, it animates me toembrace the nation in the sentiment of patriotism, and it commands me to be constant in laboring to unite the American people. Far from fecling any mortificas tion at the Senator's allusion, I thank im for presenting to my mind an image of transcedent virtue, which can never cease to excite my highest aspiration for excellence. Mr. President, there was not a suidier in the Army of the Potomac who did not renderto that grand impersonation of courage, dignity, virtue, aud manly and Christain grace the homage of a soldier’s respect. It was my fortune at Appomat- tox Court-house to see Genera} Lee “awd General Graut side by side. That scene cau never fade from my memory. I sce them now as they then stood. ’ I remem- ber both—the one for his majestic serenity uoder cefeat, the other for his quiet mag- nanimity in victory ; qualities which, if exercised by the American people, would long since have restored every ‘heart within its limits to affection for the ” | organ,” since it ewayé and controls the jen i < _ | system, every gland, tissue and nerve ype ba 4:ROYAL ORGAN, as 3 Ee Thé stomach has been well named a. ‘iro pathize with their master, Each one. is fed and sustained by it—even the brain it- self. the centre of sensation, is absolutely de- pendent upon it for sustenance. Consequently, when the stomach fails to perform its all-im- portant oflige, the gubordigate ofgans also ree in their duty. The reison why Hostetter’s [Stomach Bitters have such ®. wondrously. fictal effect upon the general health, and are anch-a teliable preventive of disease, is that they speddily overcome weakness*ov disorders of the stomach, and thus insure complete nour- ishment of the entire system and, a_ healthful performance of its various fanctione.

A Work Goat :— Little Sidney Heilig has a large goat which he has broken in harness. He makes good time in his sulkey, only the goat goes too fast some times. He was seen the other day, busily engaged in plowing, he had a plow made to harmonise in size with the goat, and seemed to be getting along spleadidly.

This week all is quiet and serene, and we trust for the good of our town, it will reaain so. - 4 Eastie ELgctions.—On Easter Monday the rollowing gentlemen were chasen for the fol- lowing named positions in St. Luke’s Parish, Festry :—J. §.

In our churches the day was appropriately celebrated, and every place of worship was thronged to hear “the old, old story, of Jesus and His love.” At St Joun’s, Episcopal CHURCH, serviees had been held throughout the previous week, and on Good Friday—the anniversary -of the crucifixion—the church was heavily draped in mourning, symbolizing the church’s sorrow for the awful sufferings of the God Incarnate, while on Sunday all was beautifully decorated in cele- bration of the burs:ing of the gates of death and the coming forth of Christ to fulfil the plan of redemption. From the very appropriate text—“That which thou sowest is not quickened except it die ; God giveth ita body as u hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body” taken from Ist Corinthians XVI.—36 & 38,—the Rector, Rev. F. J. Murdoch, preached an able aad instructive sermon, which we have heard spoken of by competent judges as a masterly effurt. Mr. Murdock preaches without notes, but evidently after careful prep- aration, and his argumenta are clothed in choicest language, elear, concire and effective. To-day he spoke ofthe christian’s hope in the resurrection from death, unto life eternal, reasoning from analogy, conclusively, that “the righteous hath hope ia his death,” and that we all shall be raised with our bodies as they are here, except that iu the caseoftherighteous, who shall be glorified and freed from imperfections. . At §r. Jonn’s LuTHERAN CHURCH, the season was beautifully and fitly observed, and the decorations were in that excellent taste, for which, the pastor Rey. J. G. Neiffer, A. M., is noted. On Good Friday, the altar, baptis- mal font and chancel were hung in black, and the frontlets of the pulpit and reading desk were of the same grief betokening hue. The most noticeable feauture, as well as a most appropriate one, was the cross draped in mourning, and surmounted by a plaited crown of thorns, which greeted the eye on entering chancel, telling in silent yet eloquent pathos of the Savior’s sufferings and death for asinful and beautifully “put off the garments of heavi- ness for the spirit of praise.’ All was bright- ness and beauty with decorations of evergreen, vases and stands of rarest exotics, pulpit, altar and reading desk all clothed in white, the musie glad and joyous, all indicating the church's great joy at her Lord’s deliverance from death. The sermon, by the pastor, was appropriate and impressive and- was based on the text:—‘‘ Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified ; he is risen”—taken from Mars XVI—VYI. The solemn riteof Confirmation was admin selves with thischurch, and seven. were received on-certificate. In the afternoon was celebrated that excellent old German “feast of eggs.” Each sabbath school scholar was presented with three, dyed scarlet, the number in honor of the Trinity, and the color as a memento of Christ’s shed blood. There isa peculiar fitness in this observance, for as the color symbolizes the death of Jesus, so the egg is a fit emblem of the Resurrection, for its apparently lifeless shell ¢ontains the germ of life, and as the grave Opens to give up its dead, sotheshell bursts to liberate a living thing. All this we learned, from the explanations to the children. At Tue First PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, the services also took a turn appropriate to the season, though at this church, as at the Metho- dist, all decorations and symbols were dispensed with. The Easter anthem, by the choir, was a fine piece of music artistically rendered. The sermon by the pastor, Rev. J. Rumple from the text”.—For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection.”—Romans VI-- V. was a clear, logical and interesting discourse, which we regret that we have not space to notice at length, as it was one of Mr. Rumple’s best efforts, The congregation here was even larger than usual, and seemed to be appreciatively attentive. Tue Fiast Metnopist GuurcH, was well filled with an intelligent congregation, who were amply repaid for going out, by the ex- cellent sermon from the pastor, Rev. Lee. W. the vestibule, and a similar one. within the, world. Qn Easter Sunday morning however,4 all this was changed ‘and the church literally | istered to ten persons who connected them- | bs = chapter of Hebrews, embracing the ¢ Ifth thirteenth. and fourteenth Verses :—“ Where- fore Jesas also, that he might sanctify the people with ‘his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore untohim without the camp, bearing his reproach. For we have-no continuing city, but we seek one to come.” The great cherm of Mr. Crawford’s preach- ing is his earnestness, direetpeas and evident sineerity; and on this oecassion as he warm- ed up with his theme, he grew really eloquent in speaking of the sufferings of Jesus for his peo- ple, and his claims upon their worship and plove. The christians earthly pilgrimage, with its crosses and reproaches, and its great end the “continuing city which is to come,” were graphically set forth, and the hearers exhor- ted to continue steadfast in the one, that they might enjoy the other. Witcheraft :—A negro woman applied to Mr. Justice Haughton a few days since, to have her husband arrested on the charge of tricking or witchingher. She said “bress-de taw, Massa, when I-puts good hog méat in my ‘moaf now, it jis tase like chips, I done clean los my tase ; dat man trick me ehore,an I wants him tuk up! The ‘squire informed her kindly that if she would only prove the charge ef tricking, he would have the old he-witch arrested under the “blue-laws” of Connecticut and summarily dealt with. With this assurance she went away only partly satisfied. Obituary Extraordinary :—We havebeen shown by Mr. Theo. F. Klutiz, druggist, an old book bought at auction the other day—Dr. Fral?s Hydropathic Encyclopedia—which has on the fly leaf the following high sounding in- scription ;-—-“ The Salisbury Phrenological, Physiological, Psychological, Mesmerical, Hy- drophatical and Philosophical society. Estab- lished in 1852.” We suppose that society must have died yery young, as we never heard of its existence before. It’s disease was probably in- fantile flatulence, as with such a name, it could hardly have suryived the six-months-colic, May its memory be as green as its founder’s were ! + Beecher Tilton :—The best thing we have heard‘on the “ragged edge” trial, and at the same time one of the most truthful compliments to the Southern ladies, was uttered by a Salis- buryian at Saratoga last summer. He was dis- cussing the great scandal, on the piazza of one the hotels, with another gentlemen, and of course, like all right thinking people was fully conyinced of Beecher’s guilt. While the con- versation was proceeding, several elegantly dressed Northern ladies stepped up and to his great astonishment chimed in discussing with perfect freedom the pros and cons of the di: « gusting case. This was rather strong for our friend, but he stood calmly, until one of them in her gushing defense of the great lib- ertine, turned sharply upon him and said,” no christian man would speak in that way of Mr. Beecher ; yes sir, ll go further and say that no gentleman would speak of him in such terms.” This raised him, and he replied, in words for which every Southern lady should thank him‘ “Madam, Ido not know whether you are a lady or not, but this I do know, that in the South where Iam from, no woman dressed like a lady as you ure, and looking like a lady as you do, would think of discussing such scanda- lous immoralities, publicly, with gentlemen.” The Ladies(?) retired in high disdain with mantling cheek. The implied compliment to our Southern ladies isa deserved one, and all the more grate- ful that it came from the lips of an adopted citizen of foreign birth and cosmopolitan travel. oo The banishment of lepers is rigorously carried outin the Sandwich Islands. Uhere was arecent official search for persons affected with the incurable malady, many having been secreted by their relatives. Hundreds were found and put into a ves~ scl for traneportation to the leper village, to be kept there until they die. Their families gathered on the beach and ex~ pressed their grief in loud lamentations. A talented half breed, called Bill Rags- dale, has long held a high place in the re. gard of SandWick Islanders. He is an orator of great natural power, a leader in the district of Hilo, and a man of notors iously bad morals. He discovered that he was leprous, although the indications were so slight that he had escaped official notice, and at once gave himself up to the authorities. A procession of natives, singing and carrying flowers, escorted him to the vessel which was to take him and the others to their living graves. He made a specch to the assembly, urging submission to the measures for eradicating leprosy by banishment, aud expressing his hatred of missionaries, EN The Statesville American learns that a man by the name of John Ray, of Wilkes county, on last Saturday, was shot by a man named Cheatham, and died of the woand Sunday morning. C. was aided aud abetted by a mau of the name of Ball, who has since been arrested. Cheatham made his escape. Ray had been aiding Church, a Deputy Marshal, in aysesting illicit dietil- lers, which led to-the-murder. "The de- ceased leaves a wife and several children. Welearn from the Charlotte Observer that some days ago in Wilkes county a dread- ful catastrophe occurred in the family of William Church. It seems that he was engaged at work ashort distance from hie home, and that his wife went to carry bim his supper, locking three children, aged respectively 4, 6 and 8 years, in the house, the lock (a padlock) being on the outside. When she returned at 10 o’clock, all had been totally destroyed by fire. ‘I'he children were burned to ashes, and none of them were recogniza- ble. ; a Rest 1n OLD AGE.—I covet rest neith- er for myself nor my friende, so long as we are able to work; but when age or weakness comes on, and hard labor be comes an unendurable burden, then the necessity of work is deeply painful, and it seems to imply an evil state of society wherever such a necessity generally ex- its. One’s childhood should be tranquil, as one’s old age should be playful ; head~ work at either extremity of human exis- tence seems ta me out of place. The morning and the evening should be alike peaceful ; at mid-day, the sun may burn, and men ‘may Jabor under it. —Dr Arnold. ‘Usury.—We give our usual editorial colamn to Col, Johnston’s unanswerable argument in favor of the ueary law.

From the Staunton Vindieator, AGRANGS FUNERAL. a The First Grange Burrial of a Lady in Virginia— Impressive Ceremonies at the Grave—Gathering of Members of the Order, &c. On Sunday last, near Tiukling Spring, jn this county, the first burrial of a lady member of the order of Patrons of Hus~ bnadry that has taken place in Virginia waa attended by a large concourse of eitisens. Mrs. Sarah J. Calbreth, wife of Mr Zacharial Calbreth,a member of Fisherville Grange, No. 71, died on Fri~ day, baving bad a very perilous surgical ae reformed a few days since. was about forty years of age, and wae much beloved and esteemed by who knew her, and her funeral brought a large number of citizens outside of the order to which she belonged, who testified by their presence to the high esteem in which she was held. She was she mother of Miss. Jennie Calbreth, who fills the position of ‘Flora’ in the Grange. GATHERING OF THE GRANGER, Early in the morning the Grangers, eash wearing a small boquet in his coat, commenced arriving at the Presbyterian ebarch at Tinkling Spring, where the faneral was to take place, and of which the deceased had been a eonsistent mem- ber, Among those who arrived were the pall-bearers of the Grange wearing white baldrics, and the marshals of the procession, who wore orange-colored baldries of their office. Among the mem- bers of other Granges who were present were a large number from Barterbrook and Waynesboro Granges. ‘The funeral germon was preached by Rev. G. B, Strickler, after which the concourse of ns, numbering over 600, proceeded to the cemetery. THE GRANGER CEREMONIES. The pall- bearers of the order bore the eoffin decorated with flowers to the gate, followed in order by the family of the de- ceased, the lady members of the Order, the male members, and last, the procession of citizens’ Atthe gate the coffin was stopped and the members of the Grange opened ranks and passed on each side cf it to the grave, around which they formed a cirele, the coffin bei:g placed at the side of te excavation in their midst. ‘The Master of the Grange, Mr. Samuel B. Brown, of Fisherville, then made a_ brief address, followed by the chaplain, W. H. H. Lyon, of Staunton Grange, who officiated in place of the chaplain of Fish. ersville Grange, who was absent on ac- count of sickness, who repeated the Lord’s Prayer, the repetition being followed by all the members of the Order. The chap- Jain then read from the BURRIAL SERVICE of the Order, some words of comfort to the relatives of the dead and a brief ad- dress to the members of the Order, in which they were told that ‘‘Heaven and God are best discerned through tears— scarcely, perhaps at all discerned without them. The constant association of prays er with the boar of bereavement and the acenes of death, suffices to show this. We mast be made perfect through suffer- ing; but the struggle by night will bring mness of the morning. ‘The prayer of deliverance calls forth the power of enduy rance, and while to the reluctant, tho cross is too heavy to be borne, it grows light in the heart of those who will trust.” A hymn was then swectly sung, the singing being led by Mr. Frank Bell, of the Granger choir, and Mrs. Woody, a lady chiorister of the order, during which the grangers passed around the yet empty ve and breaking their boquets apart dropped inthe flowers. The chaplain then read the beautiful burial service which ends with the 23 psalm, during which the coffin was lowered into the grave and the lady members of the grange then passed around it each breaking her bo~ quet and scattering the flowers on the coffin; a very sweet hymn being eang da- ring the time. The master of the lodge at the pall-bearers then rdvanced to the grave and threw in their boquets, the master saying: A good name is better shan precious ointment, and the day of death better than the day of ones birth. He shall go as he came and take nothing of bis labor which he may carry in his hand.” He then took up a handful of earth and‘sprinkled it in the grave, say- ing, “In the name of Fishersville Grange, I pronounce the words, Sister COalbreath, farewell.” After a prayer by the chaplain, to which all the members of the order responded “Amen,” the grave was filled. MEMORIAL. The Grange had set apart a day to plant a memorial tree, as is the enstom of the order. at the grave of Mrs. Calbreth. They also have in the summer a memori- al day, on which they visit the graves of the deceased members and scatter flowers on their graves: ———————~po—_——____ What will Make the Hens Lay. Pat two or more quarte of water in a kettle, add one large seed pepper or two amall ones, then put the kettle over the fire. When the water boils stir in a coarse-ground Indian meal, until you make a thick mush. Let it cook an hour or more. Feed hot. Horseradish chop- d fine, and stirred into the mush bas been found to podace good results. Four weeks ago we commenced feeding our hens mush as prepared in the above direc- tions, and for result we are getting from five to ten eggs per day; whereas previous to feeding, we had not had eggs fur a long time. We bear a great deal of complaint from other people about not getting eggs. To all such we would warmly recommend eooked food, fed hot. Boiled appleskins, seasoned with horseradish, are good for feed; much better than uncooked corn Corn, when fed by itself, has a tendency to tatten hens, instead of producing the more profitable egg laying. A spoonful of evJphaur stirred into their feed occa- siouaiss wil! rid them of vermin and tone up their systems. ‘l'bis is especially good for young chickens or turkeys. Oat of a flock of ten chickens, hatched the last of November, we have lost but one. They have been fed cooked feed mostly and are growing finely. A MOTHER'S SACRIFICE, —_—————— Fifteen years ago Doctor Assandri oce cupied one of the prettiest villas in the city of Paris, He was of Milanese origin, bat had married and been naturalized in France. He possessed in a remarkable degree the faculty of discovering and treat- ing lung diseases. . Oue morning the Doeter told his daagh- ter and his seryant Jeannett to prepare for the reception of visitors the finest a» rtment. Suzanne Assandri immediate- fr inguiced who the new guests were, “I knew very little of them myself.— Here is the letter that the Duke de Giv- ery, my old patient, has written. Listen; I will read it to you: Dear Doctor:—I have retained so vivid a remembrance of your kindness, and such con- fidence iu your talent, that I have persuaded my cousin, the Marquise d’Aarebonne, to ask your mca, fur hersélf and only son. They propose leaving immediately. Their position is peculiarly interesting and sad, and yet heav- en has been most prodigal in her gifts to them. They possess birth, furtuue and intelligence. If Sona bIel give some hope to the Marquise, as her Raoul is ber idol. With respect, etc., DE GiveRy.” “From this letter I should presume that the son requires my advice. Atall events, we shall svuon know,” added Assandri. “Poor young man!” murmured Su- zanne. The day passed in preps ee. _Ere the evening closed iu the guesta arrived. The Marquise d’Aurebonne appeared to be about forty, still beautiful, and her ap- rance gave every iudication of robust Leal, ‘The expression of her face seem- ed troubled, and increased in anxiety each time she looked at herson, Kaoul d’Au- rebonne was astonishingly like bis moth- er—the same luxuriant dark hair, the same aristocratic features; but his ex» pression was oue of laugour and discours agement, The doetor conducted the lady to her apartment, where a warm fire and sub- stantial supper had been prepared ; then, bidding them good-night, he departed.— At the foot of the stairs he met his daugh- ter. “Well, what do you think of the Mar- quise 1” he aaked, “She is charming. She spoke to me with such exquisite politeness—as though in fact, we had been old acquaintances ; and Monsieur Raoul, what is your impres- sion of him ?” “‘Amiable and good,” replied the docs tor, brusquely. ‘1 cannot, however, un- derstand. l have never before seen a sick man appear in such excellent health, as he.” The next day, however, he received the following revelation from the Mar~ quise : “My husband,” she said, “diced when only twentystour, of consumption. His father also died of the same disease at the same age; in fact, the masculine line of ancestors have all met a like deplorable end. WenI married I was totally ig- norant of these details; my life, therefore, was one of immolatiou and of self-sacri- fice. Unfortunately, my son has become acquainted with these particulars, and every fecling of his mind is consequently absorbed by them We have visited to- gether all the capitals of Europe. He bas tried the most celebrated mineral springs, bat uothing can charm his imagjnation or oceupy his mind—all has been in vain. Can you do aught for ue?” “Flow old is your son, madam ?” asked the Doctor. “A few months more than twenty- two.” “Have you remarked any of the symp- toms which preceded the death of , his father 2” “None. From his iufancy he has given every indication of physical strength. “Did you nurse him yourself?” “L did,” she quickly answered, with maternal pride. “Then, if I dare rely upon the conjees tures of science, I believe, and believe most sincerely, that your son will never be attacked with disease of the lungs.” “O, Monsieur!" interrupted the Mar- quise, joyfully. ‘Do not rejoice too soon. The symp- toms are all reassuring ; all give me hope. There exists, however, as great a danger trom your son’s incessant pre-oceupation " “O 1" again exclaimed the lady. “I have, indced, my fears. You mean in. sanity.” Her voice was almost suffoca: ted by tears. “His imagination must be cured; that ia essential. Only les him pass his twenty-fourth birthday, and all may be well, for his presentiments and fears will probable vanish.” ““What must be done to obtain this res sult?” the Marquise anxiously asked. “Alas, madam,’ replied the doctor, “were I a charlatan I would offer at least ten infallible means. Iam but a doctor, aud ean only tell you to amuse your son, or procure some study to eccupy and in- terest his mind. “I have tried everything. We have visited Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Spain, and Scotland occasionally. 1 thought I had succeeded, but was doomed to disap- poin' ment.” ‘And ecicnce, arts, and worldly pleas- ure 7” “The pleasure was ag evanescent asa dream. Once, and once ouly, 1 saw him deeply impressed. It was whilst readin ‘Le Jeune Malade,’ by Audre Chen- iers.”” “Tt seems to me he did not die,” re- marked the doctor, “a remedy was foand.” As he uttered these words, and before the Marquise could reply, Suzanne ran to them as lightly as a gazelle aud embraced her futher, She looked so lovely amidst her Howers that the same idea simulta- ueously entered the minds of Doctor Ass sandri and Madame d’Aarebonne. Only on one side there was a vague fear, on the other hope. It was that Juve might prove a medicine and, as well, a cure, One morning, seduced by a fine March temperature, they started to walk to La Chartrease de Mourieux. Raoul was sadder than usual. The Marquiee and Suzanne were deeply impressed by it.— At last they arrived at the monastery; is was almost a roin. A chapel, a fragment of a cloister and some cells alone remain- ed. Still six monks inhabited this deso- late spot. Religion is a flower which frequently dies in palaces, but prospers among the lowly. A monk from the convent brought them a frogal repast, and asked if Raoul would like to vigit the interior of the monastery. He accepted, and.the two ladies remained alone. Some time elapsed, and the sun was sinking in the horizon when he re- turned. He was pale bat resolute. “My mother!” he exclaimed, in a firm voice, “accept my adieu. I intend re- maining here.” * “What do you tell me!” “T am tired of struggling with this fa- tal germ of life, tired of incessantly seek- ing powerless palliutions! When one is Ge eneed as I am, to certain death, the cloister is the best asylum; death at least finds you prepared, and one passes from the troubled waves of this life into the eternal repose.” “Bat J! I, your unhappy mother, what will become of me?’ “What will become of you the day on which you will receive my last sigh 3 the bour on which you will bear the dust fall on my coffin ?” “Raoul! Raoul ! since your birth your life is my life. What you propose is im- possble! Have you no pity upon those who love you }?” Those who love me?” repeated the young man. “You mean those who pity me !”’ “Monsieur Raoul,” asked Suzanne, “what have we done that you should en- tail such suffering on us 7” A marble statue would have been al- most touched by the pleading tone of her voice. “Well, then,” he murmered, “I obey ; bat let us depart at once or I shall not have resolution to leave this spot.” The marquise embraced the girl, whis- pering ; “Thank you my daughter.” Some days after the occurrence related bore, the doctor said sumewhat abrupt- y: “Madam will you grant me an_ hour's interview to-morrow morning. ?” Before replying the Marquise first look- ed inquisitively at: him, and then directed her eyes to Suzanne. She understood all. “Most willingly.” At early hour the following morning the doctor knocked at Madame d’Aure- bonne’s door. She was expecting him. “Madame,” he said, “allow me to con- gratulate you. Six months have elapsed since you arrived in Paris. WhatI had the honor to tell you on the first day we met, I now repeat with certainty—the malady you both feared your son will es- cape. There is, another who is in dan- ger. Do you know, madam, of whom I speak. “Suzanne?” murmered the Marquise’ “Yes, Suzanne, who is my only dangh- ter, as Raoul is your only son. A few months ago she was tranquil and happy; to day her kappinees is destroyed. Do you know why, madam?” ; “She loves Raoul,” replied bis compan- ion without hesitation. “Ah! you preceive it, madam,” cons tinued the Doctor. “Kor once the daty of a father has been absorbed in that of a physician.” ‘And who tells you,” replied the Mar- quise, “that I shall not be most happy to exchange our ranks and riches for the priceless beauty and worth of Suzanne? Besides, what am I? Only a_ loving mother. Let Raoul be happy; let love give him life and hope. 1 asked nothing more. If your daughter can do this, I shall bless and thank her-”’ “I believe you, madam, but then s “Why do I not ask your daughter’s hand, you mean ? “Yes,” timidly answered Doctor Aa- sandri. “Oh! Ishould have sooner confided to you a new sorrow that——”’ “Raoul does not love Suzanna ?”” “He loves her with all his soul—he loves her with an intensity that alarms me ; but believing that death awaits him in a year, he would accuse himeelf of egotism and cowardice did he try to link his fate with hers.” “Then the evil is greater than I thought —it is irreparable.” “And he will die!” exclaimed the Mar- quise, despairingly. “Yes, he he will die. Not ofthe malady fears, but of another, that neither his his mind nor life can resiet. I know of no remedy.” “But I know one |” “You, madam ?” “Yes, I,” she repeated. “I must see Raoul alone.

Go quickly, doctor, or my cours age may fail me ere my task be over.”’ Monsieur Assandri at first feared that anxiety had alienated her reason; he looked inquiringly upon her, and then left the apartment, ‘The Marquise fell upon her kees, “My God!” she cried, with clasped hands, and eyes raised to heaven; “this is my only resource. You who punish falsehood, now have pity on me! Save Raoul, though I die!” Then advancing to the door, she called “Raoul! Raoal !” “My son,” said Madame d’Aurebonne, witb calmness, though with trembling lips, “let me rejoice with you upon the saluta- ry effect of our sojourn here. God has g| beard our prayers, and you are saved.” ‘You believe this ?” responded Raoul, sadly, “Yes; it ig the doctor’s opinion as well as mine.

Do you not love Suzanne ?” “Yes, with all the powers of my soul. ‘To wed her would be the greatest happi- ness in life.” “Well, then, you imagine that death is soon to be yoar fate ?” _“ Yes, mother.” “But if you are deceived; if I could prove to you,that the blood which brings this terrible malady does not ryn in anne 7” “Q, ask the damned whether they would follow an angel who opened the gates of heaven !” replied d’Aurcbonne, wildly. Instead of replying, his mother knelt before him. ‘“Great God | what are you doing ?” he exclaimed. . ‘Raoul, I must reveal a secret which will change your determination, I should have told you sooner and spared your suffering, but I had not the courage. Raoul, you are not the son of the Marquis d’Aurebonne.” “What do you tell me?” murmured Raoul, who failed to comprehend this revelation. . “O, my son! for mercy’s sake ask me no more; have pity upon me; let me hide my shame, Pardou, Raoul! par- don {” As the true sense of what his mother bad divulged reached his mind, joy lit up his countenance. “Oh!” he exclaimed, ‘for the first time I breathe, I exist. ‘I'hat life to which I so soon expected to say adieu I now in ecatacy take possession of. I am young, strong, happy. Mother, I thank you ! Madame d’Aurbonne had ariseu, and tetteringly walked towards Raoul ; one arm she placed around his neck, with the other she poiuted to the garden where, through the open window, Suzanne and her father could be seen. “Mother, you call them,” he said, car~ ressingly. e She did 80, and a few moments more they entered the chamber. “Doctor,” said the Marquise, with in- comparable dignity, “I have the honor of asking your daughter’s for my sou, the Marquis Raoul d’Aurcbonne.’ She could say no more. She fainted. * * * * In the cemetery of Hyeres, near Paria, a stone can be seen with inscription : “TIfere repose the Marquise d’Aure- bonne, who died at Hyeres, Octeber 31, 1847.— Pray for her.” Lower down another hand has engraved in irregular but still visible characters, “Saint and Martyrs.” Raoul does not know, will never know, that these three words were writteu by doctor Assandri. He alone had divined that the humiliating and false confession had saved the son but killed the mother. —e—___—_—_ The Shoe Beginning to Pinch. We have always thought that the citi- zens of the Northern States would be made to feel, sooner or later, the tyranny that a fanatical Congress inaugurated to punish and oppress Southern people. The “chickeus are now going home to roost” in some of the yankee States, and we begiu to hear the squalls of the roos- ters. Recenily the U. S. Revenue offi- cers acized a large amount of goods in the State of Rhode Island which they claimed bad not paid the stamp duty. ‘I'he State officers resisted such seizure and appealed to the Governor for defence and protection againat the encroachments of Fcderal au- thority. ‘The Governor of the old Federal State of Rhode Teland immediately got mad with the Government at Washington and sent a Message to his Legislature denoun cing the conduct and action of the Feder- al officers, concluding with the following significant language : “Your presence bere, Senators, is a mockery and farce if such procecdings ax these are sustained by the Federal gov- ernment. Your houorable Judiciary and Executive way as well resign their offices, and lcave the control and direction of State affairs to the subordinates of the United States government. No graver question haa been forced upon the State since its first settlement. It is a vital question, for in it are involyed the sover- eignty of the State with the United States. ‘I'he little State of Rhode Island is enti- tled, on such points, to an equal respect with larger States or the general Govern- ment itself. I make no argument on this question. ‘The matter is in the hands of the General Assembly, and I am confi. dent it will be adjusted in sach a manner as to vindicate the honor of the State and maintain the integrity of the laws.” Six or cight years ago we expressed the opinion thet the Southern people would have te interfere in behalf of the}! North if free institutiens were maintained in that section, and it now begins to look as if the Northern States needed the aid of Southern members of Congress to pre- vtént the encroachments of the Federal Governments on the rights of the State. The old Democratic doctrine of States Rights will yet triumph, and all decent white men must acknowledge the _prinei- ple to be just and fair and desirable.— Charlotte Democrat. ———_o- eo —____—_ A Singular Tradition. Among the Seminole Indians there is a singular tradition regarding the white man’s origin and superiority. They say that when the Great Spirit made the earth, he also made three men, all of whom were fair complexioned ; and that after making them, he Ied them to the margin of a small lake, and bade them leap iv and wash. Oae obeyed, and came out of the water purer and fairer than before ; the second hesitated a moment, during which time the water, agitated by the first, had become muddeid, and when he bathed, he came out copper-colored ; the third did not leap till the water became black with mud, aud he came out with bis own color. Then the Great Spirit laid before them three packages, aud, out of pity for his mniefortune in color, gave the black man the first choice. He took hold of each of the packages, and, having felt the weight, choee the heaviest ; the copper-colored roan then chose the next heaviest, leaving the white man the lightest. When the packages were opened, the first was found to contain spades, hoes, and all the im- plemente of labor ; the second unwrapped bunting, fishing and warlike apparatus ; the third gave the white man pens, ink and paper, the engines of the mind—the means of mutual, mental improvement, the social link of humanity, the foundation of the white man’s superiority. your veins, would you then marry Saz- ain hoose instantly.

Tn offering this FERTILIZER to the Agricultural Community a Second Season we do so with the utmost Confidence, feeling’ satistied that the high opinion, we “formed, and expressed last season based on its Chemical Constituents have been most satisfactorily borne out by the test, by which all Fertillizers must be judged, that of the Plantation, Last season, owing to the lateness at which we commenced importing we were forced to put our Guano on the market at once, but now having continued our importations during the sum- mer and fall, and having large and well ventilated Warehouses in this City and City Point, we are enabled to put our Guano on the market, in a condition as to dryness, and freedom from lumps, equal to any Manufactured Fertilizer. : We solicit a careful persual of our Circular containing the certificates sent us, and which can be had on application at this OFFICE, or from any of our AGENTS. Having nothing to con- ceal, we made an innoyation on established usage, te publishing those letters received unfavora- bie to our Guano, but careful inquiry in many cases proves that the cause of its failure was not owing to any fault in the Guano, but to those far beyond our control We have frequently heard the same complaints of its kindred Fertilizer, Peruvian Guano, but the concurrent testi- mony of well known Farmers and Planters from Maryland to the extreme Western counties of North Carolina, justify us in claiming a place for our Fertilizer Superior to many, and Second to None.

Sauissury, N. C., October 10th, 1874. Messrs Meroney & Bro. Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of the Guanahani Guano, I will state ‘that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in use in our country. In the month of February I bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundato the acre on Corn, On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, 1 picked 1} ounces the same day—showingSa difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ; with Guanashani it will yield 12 pounds to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—showing a difference of oyer 600 per cent. . I haye not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. On one acre of ground, as a test, I sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstances, has average 700 pounds of sced cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds. E. A, PBOPST. Davie Co., N.C. Messra Meroney & Bro. GENTLEMEN :—In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of Guanahani Guano, I would sa that J ueed it lust Su:amer on an old field which would have produced very poorly under ordi- nary circumstances but which under the application of Guanahani yielded me a very good crop. I had one test row and this showed a difference of over three hundred per cent. in favor of the Guano. . i . . ; I am satisfied that it is a good Fertilizer and take pleasure in recommending jt to every far- mer who wishes to increasehis crops as being fully equal if not superior to any Guano on the market.

C., APRIL eect 8 isi ee — | Senator Ransom in'bis Breat speéch on Louisiana and the South, deli vered in the United State Senate, paid the following eloquent tribute to Southern patriotism and valor. - Bat, sir, other, imputationsigre bronght here against the South, all on ‘ udice e Brniodice n made in Senators are pleased to call in terms of derision and repi discuss with Senators the | criticisms, That is a que which we may well differ, : the day is not far distant whema. -{ of a custom I do not defend, ang greatly abused, shal! be found. ed Christian public sentiment, 2 arbitrament f hope always . te But, air, to whatever tribunal; {0 refer that, responsiba@y, which some quarters to give so much offense, trust I shall be scrupulously careful to obsery in all controversies, every law of courtesy an kindness, and never so far to forget what is due to myself and equally due to others as to sub- stitute in intellectual combat for the parliamen- tary weapons of reason and argument the use of opprobrious epithets, harsh aspersions, yiolent crimination and recrimination. I shall leave such means of warfare to be employed by those to whose tastes and sentiments they are more compatible. While I should regard them as the feeblest instruments of assault upon the po- sition of others, I should certainly feel that they were the weakest armor for my own char- acter orhonor. Helding myself strictly ac- countable for all that I may utter in this Cham- ber or elsewhere, I shall not dispute with any champion the laurels that are to be won on the field of personal or partisan abuse. Those who are ainbitious of that palm may wear it. But if by these references to “southern chivalry” Senators intend to impute to the people of the South any want of those high quale of honor, virtue, truth, courage and ignity of characterZwhich have been asserted to belong to them, or the absence of those gentler humanities of charity, courtesy, generosity, and all the graces of Christian life, I meet the Senatorson the threshold of their accusation, and I tell them before the world that this impeachment of the character of our people is groundless and injurious ; as un- just to those who make it asif is to the brave, honest, noble people who are thus misunder- stood, misrepresented, and defamed. I repel the aspersion with the indignant scorn of an injured and outraged people. I repel itin the name of eight millions of living, virtuous freemen; I repel it in the name of twelve generations of gallant patriots; I protest against it by the solemn judgment of history ; I refute it by the character of the living and the dead ; I appeal from it in itserror and madness to the universal and concurrent testimony of mankind. I hurl it tothe ground; Itrample it in the dust. There is not an eyent in the nation’s annals connected with the South that doesnot condemn and rebuke the odious sentiment. It can find no hjbitation or sympathy in the heart of the civilized world ; it can find no logdment in one solitary, isolated spot of authentic tradition ; it will be banished and driven away from the face of men in despair of finding a home where truth and justice reside. Branded with infamy allover, itmust seek a resting place only in bo- somes from which the dark passions of late and fury have forever excluded the light. Before the Repniiic has attained little more than man’s life have we reached a development of passion that France did not mature for near- ly athousand years? Are we in the early yonth of the nation about to discover the worst symptom ofthe insane maladies that assailed France in the revolution? Have we go soon fallen on the dark scene in the Crama of nations which marked the declining days of the Roman Empire? Is all truth confounded before our eyes, andare the very vestiges of justice ublitera- ted from our hearts ?- What unheard-of madness has destroved the conscionsness of fact in our minds and the sensibility of conscience within us? Has the storm of sectional{strife drowned the voice of history ? Are the living records of the age erased by the intensity of party heat ? Ifas memory been dethroned from the human mind and her proud scepter surrendered to prejudice? For such must be our melancholy condition when we can believe that the “South is degenerate.” Rise from your graves, immor- tal founders yf the Republic. and rebuke the impions calumny! Great Father of our coun- try, Linvoke your hallowed name to silence it forever. Illustrious author of the “Declara- tion,” has thy glory been so soon extinguished ? Father of the Constitution, has thy honored name perished amid the blows inflicted on thy great work? Hero of New Orleans, has the bright fame of vour victory over a foreign foe been eclipsed by a more recent victory over the liberties of the State you defended? Has the 8th of January, 1815, been blotted out by the 4th of January, 1875 ? When did the South become degenerate ? When her sons unaided and alone bore the “Lone star’ westward and carved an empire State from the heritage of the Montezumas ? Or did her courage expire on the blazing heights of Buena Vista, and did Taylor and Bragg and Crittenden dim its luster? Was her honor lost by Scott or Lee in the valleys, on the hills, or before the walls of Mexico, or was her bright sword tarnished when Butler and the Palmetto Regiment left on the field of Churubusco the example that was to be no more gloriously followed by the six hundred at Balaklava? Are weto be told of southern degeneracy in the Halls of this Capitol, where the echoes of the mighty words of Clay and Calhoun still ring in our ears and the proud images of Marshall and Taney stand guard atthe altars of justice; where ten Presidents of the United States rise before our eyes to attest its falseliood, and a train of heroes, statemen, jur- ists, with an endless line of patriots, proclaim its injustice ? Senators, before you can believe it, you muat tear from American history its brightest pages; you must pull down the Cap- tol, remove its monuments, and obliterate its name. Go to the uttermost limits of the earth, the remotest waves of the sea, stand on any spot in the vast breadth of your country, and look up and bebold the flag of the Republic, and the starry banner that blazes over your head will recall at the “dawn’s early light and the twilight’s last gleaming” the genius and soul of the southern patriot from whom it derived its dearest inspiration. But Senators will exclaim thia is the South as she was, not as she is; the South years ago when she stood with the North in the Unicn, not the South during and since the war, shorn of her strength and beauty. Iam admonished not to tread on ground on which the smothered fires are not yet ex- tinguished; but though I walked barefvoted and blindfolded over burning plowshares, in this I ought not to hesitate ; for he who with a right heart bravely treads the path of truth and duty has nothing to fear. Yes, Senators, duty more sacred than life commands me to ask on what field in the late ever-to-be-deplored war did the South betray anything but the highest qualities of the best of men? Where were the evidences of her decline and degeneracy ? Ask your noble patriots who met her no Jess noble sons on a hundred ensanguined fields? Read | the repurts of your generals and all contempo- raneous history and you will look in vain for but one response. I will draw no contrasts be- tween those brave armies, those true, devoted men on either side. I only wish their great struggle had been a united effort to expand the area of free institutions, to extend the light of '| Clare that human histo 1 worthy of their steel, fell back like the sullen eee ee allthe beneficent influences. of American li x men of both armies I rejoice in their common bravery, truth, fortitude, and splendid achieve- menis, and still more in the fact that no one bat Ame could have resisted as we. did and that Meta = A ae dees ak as you did ;yetI but. spe esi Loheeg the world and pore Heer when I de- rom the begin has failed to fu a sev ticsabpas of a the devoted qualities of soldiers’ duty than was exhibited in the army: of ‘the South: .I co ee ee whe lormed ped ng line of bayonets on Marye’s = = the read woe oor aa he Chancellorsville ; who stepped like bridegrooms to a marriage feast up the stony ridge at Get- tysburgh, and ‘m d foemen roar of broken waters. I need net recall those noble spirits who drew piring breath in their wasted forms and looked for the last time upon the bleak hills of Appomattox. No, Senators, we are worthy to be your coun- trymen, worthy to be the patriot-brothers of your own ever-glorious and honored men who prevailed against us. Instead of carping and criminating and taunting, let us bury deep and forever recollection of that war that does not revive the common honor and courage and Christian humanity of the North, and the South, and the whole American people. If there be any cloud upon the arms of either, thank God there is glory enough for the arms of both, and that glory belongs to the American people. Are not the victories of Pompey and Cesar the common renown of Ronie? Are not the “red rose’ and the white rose’ now intertwined in the crown of Englund’shistory? Is it indelicate for me to remind you that thenoble Greeks, the Athenians and the Spartans, erected ntonuments of perish- able wood to celebrate victories over their coun- trymen? They built them for their triumphs over foreign foes of enduring marble and brass. The brave Romans, whose conquering legions made the world their empire, never permitted a triumph to any yietor in their civil wars, Those nations of antiquity would not perpetnate their own strifes. Shall this Christian Union be Jess magnanimous than the republics of the idolatrous ages ? am -- NO MORE. This is the burden of the heart. The burden that it always bore ; We live to love; we meet to part ; And part to meet on earth no more; We clasp each other to the heart, And part tu meet on eaith no more.

A Chattanooga correspondent tells asin- gular story of several acres of skeletons laid bare by the recent floods in the Tens nessee river. The high water of the recent flood washed about four feet of earth from ten or fifieen acres of land lying along the Tenneseee river on thefarm of Mr. James Prater, near Louisville, in Blount county. About two feet of soil was removed from the same growad by the high tide of 1861. When the waters subsided after the last flood, a strange spectacle was presen: ted. ‘Che whole of the denuded area was covered with skeletons. Some were straight, some reclining, some doubled up, and some in a sitting posture. There were the osscous forms of infants, of chil- dren, and of full grown persons. Mr. Prater has counted over a_ thousand forms. Persons who have lived in the vieinity of this mysterious cemetery for sixty five years never heard of any human bones being dizcovered there béfore. The skeletons, we understand, are not found in a mound nor in what appears to be an artificial formation of the carth. We anderstand one or more mounds were partially washed away in Meigs county, disclosing ekeletous, some batch- ets, and pipes,and implements common among the Indians.

He was just beginning to doze when he heard sounds under his window. and his wife suggested that it was acow in the yard. He got up, pulled the eurtain away, and, as he beheld a man standing there, he shouted out: “Great bottles ! but it’s a robber!"—and he jumped into bed. *Theodorius Brasser, are you a fool?” screamed the wife, as he monopolized all the bed-clothes to cover up his head. ‘Be quiet, you old jade, you!” he whis- pered : ‘probably he’ll go away !”’ “Git up, you old coward!’ she snapped. “Ull never live with you another day if you don’t do it!” Brasser turned up the lamp, sat up fa bed, aud cried out: “Is that you, boys?” ‘Mercy on me! git up!" yelled the wife as the straw man was knucked against the window. “I'll blow his head off clean.as milk!" said Brasser in a loud voice as he got up. He struck the stove three or four times. upset a chair, and reached behind the bed and drew out an old ariny musket. ‘Now, then. for blood !” he continued as he advanced to the window and lifted the’ cur- tain. The man was there, face close to the glass, and he had such a maliguaut expression of countenance that Brasser jumped back with a cry of alarm. “Kill hin! Shoot him down, you old noddie-head !’’ screamed Mrs. Brasser. “T will—by thuuder! I will!’ replied Brasser, and he blazed away and tore out nearly all the under sash. The boys up stairs uttered a yell and a groan, and Brasser jumped fur the wiudow to sve if the man was down. He wasn't. He stoud right there, and he made a leap at Brasser. “He's comin’ in! Per-lice !—boys !—ho! p-e-r-]-i-c-e !”’ roared the old man. The tattered curtain permitted Mrs. Brasser to catch sight of a man jumping up aud down, aud she yelled: “Theodorius, I'm goin’ to faint!" “Faint aud he darned !—boys !—per- lice!’ he replied, walloping the sheet-iron stove with the poker. ‘Don’t you dare talk that way to me!” shrieked the old woman, recoveriug from her desire to faint. **Po-leece !—po-leece !” now came from the boys up stairs, and while one continued to shout, the other drew the ‘‘man” up. ture him limb, from limb, and secreted the pieces. Several neighbors were aroused. an offi cer caine up from the station, and a search of preinises was made. Not so much as a track in the snow was found, and the officer put on an injured look and said to Mr. Brasser : “A guilty conscience needs nu accuser.” “That’s so !" chorused the indiguant neighbors as they departed. As Mr. Brasser hung a quilt befure the shattered wiudgw, he reinarked to his wife: “Now, see what an old condurango you’ve nade ef yaurself!” “Don't fling any insults at me—don't do it—or I'l choke the attenuated life vut’n you!’ she replied. And the boys kicked aroyad on the bed, chucking each other ia the ribs, and said: “I'd ruther be a boy'n be President.’’— Detroit Free Press. Curiosities of Beecher’s Defense. (N. Y. Sun, 22d.J It is four weeks to-marrow since the prosecution rested in the scandal case, aud Mr. Beecher’s defense began. During this long period many witnesses have been examined, and what is remark- able about them is that their testimony has seemed to be addressed not to the de- fense of Mr. Beecher against the charges brought by Mr. Tilton, but solely to the overthrow of Illton. If Mr. Beecher is innocent, this sert of thing is altogther unnecessary. Theodore Tilton’s charecter was badly damaged before, and it is not worth while for Mr. Beecher to employ the ccart, and jury, and lawyers for a mouth in destroying it over aguin. If Mr. Beecher is guilty, his crimes will not be palliated by blackening Tiltoc—at least not in the opinion of in- telligent men. This evidenee, however, though entire- ly needless aud useless, ou the by pothesis of Mr. Beecher’s innocence, may yet be very proper as tending to mitigate the damages to be awarded by the jury on the hypothesis of his guilt; and it is in- deed a very striking circumstance that so great a period of time should be occupied by the defense in bringing out such a mass of such testimony. ‘This course of defense producesa very paintul impression apon the public wind. If Mr. Beeelier is innocent, one witnees was necessary above all to prove it, and that is Mr. Beecher himself. He should have beeu the first if not the only person sworn for the defense, and when he had done, they might have gone to the jury. This long delay in producing him, and the manner in which the time is occupied, strengthens the suspicion that he is unwill- ing to appear upon the stand.

Usury law. the present banking system is the most gigantic swindle that ever had the sanction of law, and the majority of those who control it is such as delight to increase their gains by preying upon the necessities of the people. The whole syatem is one of fraud and oppression, set up to benefit the few at the ruin of the many. If we have to be cursed with government banks, let. the government operate them and nse the profits for government purposes, after the manner of the Evglish. General Spinner says that there is scarcely a bank in the United States that haa not forfeited its charter. If this is true, and we do not doubtit, why has not the law been enforced? ‘The charters have been forfeited by violations of the law in chargiog excessive Usury and in other ways; but still the officer whoae duty it is to see that the law is obeyed, has con- nived at frand. ‘This is at when we consider that tue whole sys- tem is corrupt, enaugurated to benefit the woneyed interest at the expense and burden of the producing classes.

Each one of thei is fed and sustained by it—even the brain it- self. the centre of sensation, is absolutely de- pendent upon it for sustenance. Consequently, when the stomach fails to perform its all-im- portant office, the subordinate organs also falter in their duty. The reason why Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have such a wondrously benef fic'al effect upon the general health, and are sucha reliable preventive of disease, is that they speedily overcome weaknors or disorders of the stomach, and thus insure complete nour- ishment of the entire’ system and a healthful performance of its various functions. Unlike those stimulants whose alcoholic principle jr ons basis of these Bitters, which is of the purest, description, halds in solution herbal alteratives and invigorants to which a foremost rank has heen assigned in maceria medica. But it is not alone the fact that these sovereign bo- are so happily combined that the full effect of each is exerted upon the disordered or debili- tated system. he digestive and secretive organs are the first to experfence their benefi- cent operafion, which extends, by sympathy, tothe bfain, the gefves and the. circulation, The inflpence Dag ented is fruitful of th great sauitury reshlta which haye baflt up thie repytation of this truly national medicine. ) NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Simmons’ Liyer Regulator is known to be a specific for affections of the Liver Spleen and Kidneys. Unlike most preparations it fully meets the wants of the patient whose liver or stomach is disorganized and soon re- stores the emaciated and spiritless dyspeptic sufferer, toa more hopeful condition of life than he could otherwise attain. The Episcopal Methodist says;” “This medicine is acknowledged to have no equal as a Liver Medicine, and it gives us great satis- tion and supreme pleasure to endorse what skill has developed in securing so valuable a remedy as Simmons’ Liver Regulator.” !

The Radical papers in the North are trying to make capital by giving out that the Hon. Jefferson Davis isa possi+ ble caudidate for the presidency. The praises of Mr. Davis, are not the honest sentiments of these jouruals, and in cons tradistinetion of the old ery that M:. Davis was an imbecilo aud a traitor, the Washington Chronicle now says: ‘tis ability ag an executive officer and as Serator, no one whose opinion is worh a His personal in. his honest belief in the right of the several States to secede from the Union, think will not be disputed.

In visitin® the poor familics in a retir~ ed part of the town, to find scholars for the Sunday school, a geutlemap found a little girl, only six years old, trying to read her ‘Vestament. She was a member of the school, and very fond of it; and though quite young, was a good scholar. She wanted a hymn book, and the gen- tleman promised to get her one, if she would learn toread the fifth and sixth chapters of Matthew ina fortnight. She did so; and when she read the first few verses ofthe chapter where itis aid by our Saviour, “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” &e., the gentleman asked her which of the blessings here pronounced she would like to have for herself. She paused a little, and then replied, “I would rather be pure in heart.” ‘he gentleman ask why she perter:ed this. Phe little one said, if she was ouly good she would have all the rest.

Says a correspondent in yesterday's Tribune, “Mrs. Swisshelm may have been an eye-witness to invumerable iustances of the kicsing she meutions; bar, let us hope she kept herself, like Caesar's wife, above reproach.” We have got tired of thia quotation, as it misleads the reader. Cesar’s wife was not above reproach or suspicion, ag it is generally written. The innuwerable maltitude who put into everything they write the fine old crusty remark about Ca@sai’s wife being above suspision will please tke notice that she was not above suspisinn, and that Ceesar divorced himself from her on that ground. Calphburnia, the wife in question, was misled, or, to state in plainer, ses duced, by Clodius. Czasar declined to prosecute the latter tor political reasons, and the criminal was therefore acquitted after a sbam trial. His wife he promptly flung away, but he would not jeopardize bis power with his own party just then by demanding the punishment of him whohad debauched her. Clodius belonged to Cwsar’s political party, and was very influen ial with the common people, though hated by the patricians. ‘I'he intrusion of the lecher- ous demagogue into the housenold of the A ESts to knit! ~ Prepared Green only 15 cemts per Ib, at A.

Kh, Cyrus ?”’ “Do tell!” spoke up sister Jane. “Is Maldah Blare thinking about a beau at her time of life. Rather late in the day ?” “Never too late to mend,” said Cyrus, tacetiousl y. Now Cyrus had been sweet upon Hul- dalall his days; but latterly there had arisen @ coolness between them. Huldab w him to stady law, while he had set his heart upon filling the pulpit at Rowley, and settling down soberly with HIgldab at the parsonage. There had been a quarrel, and Huldah had gone away ou a visit, to be followed on her getarn by the aforesaid young man. _No- body kuew exactly whether she bad jilted Oyrus or whether ho had changed his mind; only Jane suspected, and Miss Mallet thought she'd heard words one ni when she went to see Huldah, be- fore raising the koocker. Miss Mallet always made itarule to stand on the door-step for a few minates before knock- ing, in order to collect hereelf, and what- ever unguarded words might float outward from her neighbors’ lips. “Yes, Huldy’s no chicken,” pursued Mies Mallet. ‘“Iemme see: her folks was marricd forty-nine years come Thanksgiving time, and Huldy’s the baby. She’ll never eee thirty-five agin. Her young man must be consid’able ounger.” a x !” cried Jane. “Dear me! I did think Huldy bad more dignity. I'd like to sce a boy proposing to me!” “Hoity-toity!

Here you was right handy, and knowed Huldy ver since she was that high. I allus thought you'd make a match of it, you two. She’s jest the cat-out for a ministers wife, to sing psalms and lead in prayer @t class-meetings, and carry broth and flannel to the poor.” '.Haldy?

The respouse, “I, Huldah, take thee Henry, to be my wedded husband,” soun- ded to him like the far-off whigpers in a shell, ; all the faces a¥out him seemed wavering and disturbed; he saw Jane standing primly against the wall in her stiff, old-fashioned brocade—her grand- mothers wedding gown—with its modern ruffies of embroidered muslin, and the frovds and ferns upon it seemed to grow as she waited there, while he speculated if all the hearts that had ached under that bodice could make up the sum of his pre~ sent agony ; and directly the blessing and Huldah and her young man scemed | was over, aud summoning all bis strength inno hurry. ‘The neighborhood, indeed, of his will and pride, Cyrus bent forward had hardly familiar with their}t9 congratulate the bride, and--the bride was ouly a little Wuldah ! “T never knew it myself,” reported Mise Mallet, “till I came back to the crack of the door, and sce, all ofa sudding, that veil was ou the little Haldy’s head, now that they faced round, and that old Huldy was nothing but a bridesmaid.

United States Commissioner Hoyne, acting under the advice of Judge Blodgett, has dismissed the. suit against the proprictor of the St. Elmo restaurant. The ground of the decision is that the Civil Rights law does not apply to such establishments. The District Attorney at Washington has delared that, in bis opinion, it does uot apply to barber shops. Ben Butler has announced that saloon keepers can still choose tbeir own custo- mers for their intoxicating drinks. Judge Emmons has practically swept away the whole law in his ebarge'to the Memphis Grand Jury. It begins to look as if the much-debated act is not worth the pareh- ment it was engrosséd upon. ‘This reanlt will be a bitter disappointment. But, af- ter all, it will teach eolored people, as well as white people, that they must live down, not legislate down, social prejudices, and that their future social standing depends upou themselves, not upon acts of Cons gress. As their minds are educated and their manners are refined; the color of their skin will be forgotten. The social prejudice against certain class of whites can ouly be cured in the same way.—N. Y.

Perfect health demands that the cloth- ing about the neck should be very moder- ate in quantity, aud worn so loose as to prevent the slightest compressions. ‘The great error frequent committed in clothing this part of the body consists iu wearing such an amount as to overheat and weak- eu the throat, and thus render. it easily susceptible to cold, or in wearing it 80 tight as to retard the circulation of the blood to and from whe head. Great care should be exercised upon this point, as the arteries aud veins leading from the heart to the brain are situated so near the surface in the neck that a slight compres~ sion there serves to check the flow of the blood. Many cases of congestion of the brain and headache are caused by too tight collars and cravats. —\—~s>o——-—— A BeavutiruL Woman.—A Wash- ington correspondent of the New Orleans Bulletin draws a charming picture of the wite of Senator Gordon, of Georgia ; Over in the reserved gallery, there sits a sweet little lady with a thip lace vail only half biding her pretty little face.— The eyes are very bright and soft; always lighted with a charming smile; the fores head high-arched and broad, framed in with the rippling waves of soft brown Lair, Always tastefully dressed, yon will eapecially note the perfect gloving of the slender bands, and her graceful way of moving them. very one who sees her asks who sbe is, and I can tell you.

It says: ‘One should no more lie down at night hangry than he should lic down after a very full dinner ; the conscquence of either being disturbing and harmful. A cracker or tow, a bit of bread and but- ter, or cake, a littl: fruit—something to relieve the sense cf vacuity, and go restore the tone of the system—is all that is uecessary. We have known persons, habitual sufferers from restlessness at night, to experience material bencfit, even though they were uot hungry, by a very light luncheon before bed-time. In place of tossing about for tow or three hours as formerly they would soon grow drowsy, fall asleep, and not awake more than once or twice until sunrise. ‘his mode of treating insomnia has recently been re- commended by several distinguished physicians, and the prescription has generally been attended with happy re- sults.

The press is snecring at Vice President Wilson for refusing to go to Mexico ona pleasure tour at the public expense, —and the Washington Chronicle says it is just like the old shoemaker that he is to pres fer to pay his own expeuscs when travels ling on private business. Yes says the Richmond Enquirer, and that’s the way with all those silly old mechanics. Andy Johnson, for instance, is vulgarly honeat, because he was only a tailor.

Profitable Poisoning. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. There may be seen daily on Chestnut street a man dressed in faultless apparel, with a great diamond upon his breast, vain- ly endeavoring to outglitter the magnifi- cent solitaire on his finger. In a Gerinan university he learned chemistry, and not even Liebig knows it better. His occu- pation is the mixing and the adulteration of liqnors. Give him a dozen casks of deo- dorized aleohol and the next day each of them will represent the name of a genuine wine ora popular epirit. He enters a wholesale drug store bearing a large bask- et upon bis arm.

An astringent called eatechn, that would almost close the mouth of a glass inkstand, is next in order.

At this juncture a man emerged like a spectre from the blaze and smoke, and fell iu a swoon at the very edge of the shaft.

If the Watchman had exchanged with Tue CHILDREN’s FrieND and had read the reasons given for declining the money offered, the article from which we have quoted would never have been written.—Children’s Friend.

The first sentence is a model ofits kind, and cguld lave originated with some one of Napoleonic brain only. A dis- covery haz been made, and yet the master mind and polished intellect who proclaims the result of his own vigilance and erudition, can’t for the life of him explain the mystery which he imagines he sees and oyer which he chuckles like a monkey squnding his war ery. 6 ; Because a man says he dues nat wish to be regarded as orthodox, does it foliow that he can not be a heretic, a free-thinker? Won't soine- body learned answer this question for us? Is there pleonasm or rhetorical inaccuracy in writing a word and following it by one or more toexplain or define it justas we defined or limited heretic by adding a free-thinker 2? Do tellus, Master of Bellesletters? Ifit is some- what redundant, if such repetition is not euphonious, is it not, at least, admissible in newspaper writing where there are so many tastes to serve that are not professors or mem- bers of college faculties ? Do explain how much we missed it in giving the definition of a word not generally understood by the readers of a country newspaper ? Spelling is, indeed, an accomplishment, and we would be glad if we were a proficient orthog- rapher. It-may be that we spelled gnat “wid ak,” and.that it was: not a mere typo- grahical error, 80 common in newspaper articles hurriedly prepared for the press ; and we shall not,.therefore, attempt to fix the re- sponsibility upon our boys or give any other excuse fur it, since all great men have shown a similar want of appreciation for good spelling. But the article in the Watchman to which the above isa rejoonder was misunderstood and misapplied. The words puritanism, bigotry, &c., were not intended for Mr. Mills, nor for anybody in particular. His refusal to accept certain money raised for the benefit of the orphans. was made a sort of text for remarks that were intended to have a general applica- They can | jtion only. Yet Mr. Mills has assumed the whole |ofour article as applicable to himself. Wheth- ler there is fitness in this he alone must be the jjudge. Batsince he has raised the question as ‘to the tenor of our article, we would like to know whether there is religious consistency in accepting myney from one set of traveling minstrels and refusing it when tendered by another set? And wether every thing that men do in this life is not done for a consi:l- eration, or for the hope of reward? We want light. Now, the fact is, the Watchman was the first | paper North Carolina to denounce the managers of gift concerts and lotteries for using the name of the Oxford Orphan Asylum to ad- vance the interest of their own enterprises ; and it ulso took the liberty to express the hope that Mr. Mis would not countenance any such in use of the Orphan Asylum, or receive any tuoneys so raised. We have not forgotten Mr. Mills’ reply to the JPuteAman, nor the manner orstyle in which it was done, though it was, if our memory serves us right, more than two years ago. We claim to be a close observer of matters and things, and we may wrile other sermons hereafter, when we feel like it, and a suitable text presen{s itself.

Consequently, when the stomach fails to perform its all-im- portant office, the subordinate organs also falter in their dut®¥ The reason why Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have such a wondrously bene- ficial effect upon the general health, and are sucha reliable preventive of disease, is that they speedily overcome weakness or disorders of the stomach, and thus insure complete nour- ishment of the entire system and a healthful performance of its various functions. Unlike those stimulants whose alcoholic principle is unmodifie} by judicious medication, the spirit- ous basis of these Bitters, which is of the purest description, holds in solution herbal alteratives and invigorants to which a foremost rank has been assigned in materia medica. But it is not alone the fact that these sovereign bo- tunic elements enter into the composition of the Bitters that constitutes them such a be- nign tonic and corrective, but also that they are so happily combined that the full effect of each is exerted upon the disordered or debili- tated system. The digestive and secretive organs are the first to experience their benefj- cent operation, which extends, by sympathy, to the brain, the nerves and the circulation. The inflsence thus exerted is fruitful of those great sanitary results which have built up the reputation of this truly national medicine. eas A NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ~ FOR SALE.

He made known his intentions to his friends, prepared the knife with which to inflict the fearful wound, proceeded toa station . er’s, bought paper on which to write his will and a piece of cheese to eat on the route to that mysterious bourne, had his will written, gave orders to his friends with respect to the disposition to be made of his body after death, appointed the pall-bearers, and with tears streaming down his man)y cheeks, bid farewell tu his friends, and betook himself out in the lonely dark n ight, knife in hand. to put and end to his morta existence.

F. J. Murdock, preached from the texts :—“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you anothor Comforter, that He may abide with you forever ; even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not neither knoweth him ; but ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.’ Ist, St. John 16—& 17.— ‘Nevertheless [ tell youthe truth, itis expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you ; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” (Thid.) XVI —7.” Premising that christians were generally inclined to look upon the Father as a God of Anger, upon the Son only as being their Friend ; ‘and as having very indefinite ideas about the Holy Spirit, the preacher demonstrated that such views were entirely erroneous. God the Futher, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, all love us equally. This is the age of the Holy Spirit and more blessed than any other of the world, for our Savior has said “blessed are those who have pot seen me and yet have be- lieyed.” The sermon was mainly an explana- tion of the character and gifts of the Holy Spirit. It was thoroughly evangelical and scriptural, and had evidently been carefully prepared. St. Jouy’s LuTHERAN CuuRcH, was well filled, considering the weather, The Pastor, Rev. J. G.

How ro Win A Woman’s AFFECTIONS. —One who professes to understand this difficult watter says:—Don't talk about ‘going to work’ to win a woman’s affections; it can’t be done in that way. The more you goto work the more she won't like you. Push her into a duck poud, aud pull her out by the bair. If you are afraid to do this. jump in yourself and let her pull you out. Lend her money; borrow some from her. Make her believe that she has deeply wronged you, aud then forgive her.

A Sacacrovus Doc.—We had an il. lustration last Saturday afternoon of the way in which “Man’s Unselfisb Friend” sometimes manifesta the true nobility of his nature. A little son of Mr. Jaines R McCally was flying a kite in the yard, and a cow more vicious for having a young calf, being by, made a lunge at the boy who fled in fright. The cow pursued and was in the act of catehing the child upon her horns, when a colored woman seeing the dauger gave a scream which started the dog in the yard. ‘I'bis dog, a fine New Foundland, instantaneously taking in the situation darted for the cow, seized her and held her as in a vice, until the child was rescued, probably saving his life. As going further to show the intelli- gence of the dog, he has since this accur- reuce manifested a reluctance to leave the premises even for a short time, seeming unwilling to trust the cow where the child is.— Danville Regtsicr. uy re | be ee — oe ote To Wuom Sue Says “No.”—A wo man never quite forgets the man who has once loved her.

Always she romembers how hia eyes looked into hers ; how, perhaps, he touch- ed her hand with his, how her heart ached when he tnrued away without that which she could not give him. She !ovea some one else, Some other mau has all .the truth of her soul—al- ways baa and-always will have —but she cannot forget the one who turned from her and weit lis. way and came no more. She is glad when she hears of bis suc- cess, grieved when she knows that he has suffered ; and when some day sue hears that he is matried—she who has herself been married Jong years, perhaps ; she who, at all eyents, would never have married him—is she glad then? I do not know. A woman's heart-is a very strang thing. Ido not believe she knows her- self, Glad? Oh, yes; and is his wife pretty and nice? And then she says to herself ‘he has quite forgotten,” and “that, of course, is beet,”’ and cries a little. ——_— go ———_—_——_— Wonbers OF CELESTIAL COOKS IN THE GOLDEN StatrE.—A reporter of the San Franciseo Chronicle gives an inter- esting account of a Chinese banquet held in that city. The perfection to which the Chinese have carried their cooking was a matter of surprise to'the reporter. During the course an orange was laid at the plate of each guest. ‘lhe orange itself seemed like any other orange, but on being cut open was found to contain within the rind five kinds of delicate jellies. One was at first puzzled to explain how the jellies gotin, and giving up that train of reflection, was in a worse quondary to know how the pulpy part of the orange got out. Colored eggs were also served, in the inside of which were found nuts. jellies, meats and confectionery. When reporter asked the interpreter to explain this legerdemain of the cookery, he ex+ panded his mouth in a_ hearty laugh, shook his head, and chucklingly said: “Melican man heap smart; why he not findce out ! After feeding upon birds’ nests, succu- lent sea weed, and variety of Chinese vegetables, the reporter—who liked the | course as far as it went, and was deters | mined to go through the balance—intorm | ed the waiter that he was ready for the cats, rats, mice, &., whieh he expected would be a part of the eutertainment. He was informed, however, that such que - tionable game did not form an article ot Chinese diet, and the interpreter stated i: his peculiar way, “Newspaper men heap lie about us.” ————_-<=>—- His Pay.—Farinelli had ordered a magnificent costume, and when the tailor brought it home, the artist demanded his bil!. “I have not made one,” answered the tailor, “But why not?” asked Farinelli. “Because,” said the trembling tailor, “] Lave a desire for my payment in but one form. 1 know that which I cesize is of inestimable value, and reserved for monarchs, but since I have the honor of working for one of wiom none speak but with enthusiasm, I wish no other payment than that he sing me one song.’ Bari uelli strove in vain to change his resolu tion, and iaduce him to reecive the money. The tailor was immovable. At last the great artist acceded to his re ;quest. Resolved that the enthusiast should Le fally gratified, he exhibited be- fore him all bis wondrous skill, after which the tailor, fairly intoxicated with delight, prepared to withdraw, but Parinelli stop: ped him. “Iam very sensible,” said he, “and it is possible through that trait that I have attained my superiority over oth+ er singers. I have acceded ¢o your wiehes, and now you must yield to mine in your turn!’ Saying which be drew out his purse and compelled the astonished tailor, to receive nearly double the worth of the garment. oe ‘TRUE STORY’ OF GEORGE ; WASHINGTON. About 130 years ago Le was a little boy and used to go round hunting for wasps’ nests. It was the experience he gained when the wasps used to go hun- ting around for him, that enabled George to endure without flinching the bardships of his future lite. Me was born of rich parents, and the fact has commonly been supposed to account for “his possession of a hatchet, but tbe truth is that his father kept a hardware store. It was the detec- tion of George, in the act of chopping water-melon vines with this hateher, thai laid the foundation of all bis subsequent greatness. Convinced that it would be uscless to atiempt to prove an alibi, George said : “Father you know you stole these vines they never grew there of their own ac- cord, Brushing deeply, his parent replied : “George, if you won't say a woid about it to your mother, I'll forgive you.’ George held up his right band, and, catching upon hia pale high brow the last rays of the setting sun, exclaimed, ‘father I canuot tell a lie, but for your sake | will not tell the truth.’ Hereatter mum's the word.’ Thereupon they both kuelt down upon the long wet grass, and solemnly dedica- ted to their country their ‘lives, their for- tnues aud their sacred houor.’ ‘Thea George arose, cut off the claws of the British lion with one stroke of his aword, aud expired, at av advanced age, of a fatal attack of diphtheria. SO “Carl Sehurz’s chief genius is said to be industry.”” So says a newspaper contem- porary. The remark is true of nearly all the really great men the world has produced. There is no royal road of ease to greatuess. He who wonld arrive’at einiuence must strive early and Jate and all the time. A FLEET MARRIAGE, | Lady C. was a beautifnl woman, but Lady (. was an extravagant woman. She was still single, though rather past ex- treme youth. Like most pretty females rhe hag lodked too higly and esteemed her own loveliness too dearly; and now she refused to believe that she was not as charming as ever. So, no wonder she still remained unmarried. Lady C. had but five thousand pounds in the world. She owed about forty thou- sand pounds; so, with all her wit and beauty, ehe got inty the Fleet Prison, and was likely to remain there. Now, in the time I epeak of, every lady had ber hair dreseed by a barber; and the barber at the Fleet was the handsom- est barber in the city of London. Pat Phelan was u great admirer of the fair sex; aud where’s the wonder? Sure Pat was an Irishman, It was one very fine morning, When Phelan was dreseing her captivating head, that her ladyship took it into her head to talk to him, and Pat was well pleased, for Lady O’s teeth were the whitest, and her smile the brightest in all the world, “So vou’re not married, Pat?” says she. “Divil an inch, your honor’s ladyship,”’ says he. “And wouldn’t ye like to be married ?” again arks she. “Would a duck swim 2?” “Ts there any one you'd prefer?” “Maybe, madam.” eays he, “you niver heard of Kathleen O’Reilly, down beyant Doneraile? Her father’s cousin to O’- Donoghue, who’s own steward to Mr. Murphy, the under-agent to my Lord Kingstown, and 2 “Hash,” says che; “sure 1 don’t want to know who she is. But would she have you if you asked her !” “Ah, thin, I’d only wish I’d be after thrying that same.” “Aud why don’t you?” “Suie I'm too poor. heaved a prodgious sigh. “Would you like to be rich ?’ ‘Does a dog bark ?' “If I make you rich, will you do as I tell you?’ “Millia murthers! your honor, don’t be tant:lising a poor boy.” “Indeed I'm not,’ said Lady C.; 80 lis- ten. How would you like to marry me ? “Ah. thin, my lady, I belicve the King of Russia bimselt would be proud to do that same, lave alone a poor devil like Pat Phelan. “Well, Phelan, if you'll marry me to- worrow, Ill give you one thousand pounds. “O, whilabaloo! whilabaloo! sure I’m mad, or enchanted by the good people. roared Pat, dancing reuud the room. And Phelan “But there are conditions, said Lady C. “After the first day of nuptiale you| Innst never see me again nor claim inc for | you wife. “T dou’t like that, said Pat, for he had | been ogling ber ladyebip mest dezperately, | But remember Kathleen O'Reilly. | With the money I'll give you, you may | marry her “That's true, say3 li; but thin, the: bigamy. | I'll uever appear against you, saya ber ladyship. Only rem: mber, you must take an oath never to callie your wife after! to morrow, and never‘to go telling all the) story. \ “Devil a word ]'il ever say.” “Well, then,” eays she, “there’s ten | pounds, Go and bny a license, and leave | the rest to me,” and then she explained | to him where he was to go, and when he. was to come, and all chat. | The next day Pat was true to bis ap- | pointment, and found two gentlomen al-. ready with her ladyship. “Have you got the license 2” saye she. | “Here itis, my lady,” says hc; aud he! gave itto her. She handed it to one of | the gentlemen, who vicwed it attentively, | then, calling in her two servants, she turn- | d to the gentlemca who was reading. “Perform the ceremony,” says she. AnJ sure enough, in ten minutes Pat Phelan was the husband—the legal lus- band of the lovely Lady C. “That will do,’ says she to her new bueband, as he gave lier a hearty kiae; that'll do. Now, sir, give me my mar- riage certificate.” The old gentleman did so, and bowing respectfully to the five-pound note she gave him, he retired with his clerk, for snreenough I forgot to tell you, he was a parson. “Go and Lring me the warden,” says my lady to one of her vervants. “Yes, my lady,” says she; and presen- tly the warden appeared. “Will you be good enough,” says Lady C., in a voice that would call a bird off a tree, “will you Le good enough to send and bring me a hackney coach? I wish to rave this prison iunmediately. “Your ladyehip forgets,” replied he, “that you muet pay your forty thousand pounde before I can let you go.” “Tam a married woman. You can de-~ tain my husband, but not me. And ehe smiled at Phelan, who began rather to dis- like the appearance of the state of things. “Pardon me wy lady, it is well-known you are single “T tell you [am marricd.’ “Where’s your husband ? “There, eir! and she pointed to the ae- tonished barber; there he stauds Here is my marriage-certificate, which you can peruse at Icieure. My servants yonder were Witnesses of the ceremony. Now detain me, sir, ove instant, at your peril. The warden was dumbfounded, and no wonder. Poor Phelan would have spo- ken, but neither party would Jet bhim.— The lawyer below was cousulted. The resujt was eyident, In half au hoar Lady C. was free, and Pat Phelan, her legiti- wate husband, a prisoner for debt to the amount of forty thousands pounds. Well, sir, for some time Pat thought he was in a dream, and the creditors thought they were still worse. The following day they held a meeting, and finding how they had been ticked, swore they'd detain poor Pat forever. But as they well kaew that he had nothing, and would not feel mach shame in going throvgh the Insol- vent Court, they made the best of a bad bargain, and let him out. Well, you must know, about a week after this, Paddy Phelan was sitting by hia little tire, and thiuking over the won- ; stalks will do that mueh de:ful things he had seen, when as eure as death the postman brought him a let- ter, the firss he had ever received, which he took over to a friend of his, one Ryan, a fruit seller, because, you see, he was:no great hand at reading writing, to decipher for him. It ran thus— “Go to Doneraile and Kathleen O’- Reilly. Theinstant the knot is tied I fulfil my romise of making you comfortable for life, t, as you value your life and liberty, neyer breathe a sy!lableof what has Remem- ber, you are in my power if you tell th&,story. The money will be paid to you directly you enclose me your marriage certificate, send you fifty pounds for present expenses. C.” Oh! happy Paddy! Didn’t he get drunk that same night, and didn’t he start the next day for Cork, aud didn’t he mar- ry Kathleen, and touch a thousand pounds? By the powers he did. And what is more, he took a cottage, which, perhaps you know, is not a hundred wiles from Bruffin, in the county of Limerick, and i’ faix, he forgot his first wife clean and entirely, and never told any one but myself, under a promise of secrecy, the story of his “Fleet Marriage.” So, remember, a8 it is a secret, don't tell it to any one, you see, but keep it to youreelf. —_~—oe_—__— DAVID DICKSON ON PLANTING OF COTTON. The following is copied from a ‘Treatise on Agriculture,” by the late Divid Dickson, Sparta, Georgia: 1.. Lay offcotton rows four feet apart. with shovel ‘plow, double furrow; and pat in fertilizers eight inches deep, 2. Ridge with a long scooter, five inches wide. Make the beds with turn plow, sub- svil the turn plow furrows; split out the middles with shovel. Plaut with a cotton seed sower, aud cover with a board or har- row. First plowing—run 22-inch sweep with right wiug turned duwn. hve out two or three stalks to the hill every vine inches, ten days after plowing. Second plowing use saine sweep, the right wing turned up a little wore. Third plowing—in same way, run a third furrow in the middle to level: 3. Cotton standing thick in the drill will be mach more furward in maturing. 4. Cotton only requires distance one way. 5. Be careful uot to cut the routs of cotton. 6: Have a deep water furrow in the spring; work flat by hot weather. 7. On Jevel laud run the rows north and svuth. 3. A cottun plant to stand two weeks drought, must have four inches soil and six inches subsoil; three weeks—six inches soil aud same subsoil; four weeks—eight inches and the same subsviling. 9. If you prepare your land and earry ont this plan well, aud manure liberally. you nay expect froin four huudred to oue thou- sand pounds of lint cotton per acre. 10. Fertilizers briug a crop of bolls on the cotton early. V1. ‘Po improve the cotton plant, select seed eyery Vear after the first pickiug, up to the middle of October, taking the best stalks and the best bolls on the stalk. Jz. On all farins there are some acres that produce cottou better than others; seed should always be selected from those spots. 13. Mauure everywhere you plow and praut; your labor will be more certainly re- warded. Tt pays to use manare, and it pays best ou land that pevs best without it. -4. From the 10th to the 20th of April is the best tine to plant cotton, : 10. Apply une-half of all labor and land to the making of full supplies of all kiuds that are needed on the farm and enough to spare for those engaged iu otler pursuits. and you will have more money tian if the Whole was employed ti making cotton. 16. Leave no grass to bunch aud cause a future bad stand. 17. Plow cotton e¥ery three weeks and let the hoes come ten days behiud. cleaving it perfectly. It. Coutinure plowing cotton till the 15th or 200) of August. Ounce cr twice during the season shove out the middle with a fur- row to keep the laud level. 19. ‘The plowiug of cotton requires one and a fourth days per acre. 20 Cotton plauts conmence when small to take on and mature bolls and coutinure until they exhaust the soluble matter or reach the full capacity of the land. Two sooner than one, and will saavuid the late druught, cater- pillar. ete Zi. Cotton will grow after cotton a num- ber of Years in successiun, with pleuty of manure, . 22. Make just the ainount of cotton want- ed, at paytny prices. Keep out of debt; be the creditors ; make your supplies at home; then aud culy then will you have power. 23. Rotation of crops. deep avd deeper plowing every year, incorporation of veg- etable mold, returning the proceeds of the cuttun plant except the lint to the soil, mak- ing as inuch wanure as pussible, comprise wy system of improving lands. 24. One object in cultivation is, to keep the surface brokea. so as to let in light. heat and air. Never stop the plows for dry weather. 25. My policy has been to make the most money, with the least lobor and capital, even if it apppeared to be wasteful. 26. The cottou planter should make his whole supplies, everything necessary to ruu the farm. The preiniuin cotton crop, exhibited at the State Fair in Geurgia, in 1869, of eigh- teeu bales ov six acres, was cultivated ac- coidiug to Mr. Diekson’s plan. With a capital of $25.000 to commence with. he made in fifteen years $500,000 by farming. He has been equally successful sinee the war. Pluck and braius will tell iu farming as in any other vocation. ~~ —___——— HEGIAGE AND THE PrISONERS.—He giage was a celebrated Arabjan warrior, but ferocious avd cruel. Ainong a number of prisovers whoin he had coudemved tu death, was one Who, baviog obtained a moment's audience. said: You ought, gir, to pardon ime. because when Abdarrahman was cursing you I re- presented to bim that be was wrovg, and ever since that time I have lust his friend- ship.” Hegiage asked him if he had any witness of his haviug done this. and the soldier mentioned another prisover whu likewise was about tu suffer death. The prisoner was called and interrogated, and having coufirmed the fact, Hegiage granted his pardon. He then asked the witress if he had likewise taken bis part against ‘Abdar- rahman. But he, still respecting the truth, auswered that he had net, because he be- lieved it was not his duty todoso. Hegiage notwithstandiug his ferocity. was struck with the prisouer’s greatness of spirit. ‘Well,’ said he, after a moment's pause, ‘suppose I were to grant you life and lib- erty, should you still be wy eneiny 2?” ‘No,’ said the prisuner. “That's envugh,” said Hegiage, “your bare word is sufticient ; you have given un- doubted proofof your love for truth. Go, preserve the life that is less dear to you than Lovor and sincerity ; your liberty is the just reward of your virtae.”’ ‘ acdaippermenncagnecipedcngeaead eae ae emenan iean aetna deepen ia ee ee + es ee a J.0: SALOON, MANSION HOUSE CORNER SALISBURY, N.

On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rode long; which had been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, 1 picked 1} ounces the same day—showing‘a difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre; with Guanahani it will yield 12 pound to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—ehowing a difference of over 600 per cent. I haye not had rn opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per.cent. On one acre of ground, as a test, I sowed 400 ponnds of Guanahani broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstances, has average 700 of aced cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds. y, unds E. A.

An cyerwitness relates the following atory : One evening that I took tea with an intimate friend of mine, while we were seated at the table, Mr. Baker, my friend’s husband, while absently feeling in his vest pocket, found a five dollar note which he bad no recollection of putting there. “Halloa!” be exclaimed “that is no place for you. I should have put it io my pocket-book. Here, wife, don’t you want some ready money ?” and he threw the note across the table to her. “Many thanks,” she replied ; “‘money is always acceptable, although I have no present use for it.” She folded the note and put it under the edge of the tea tray, and then proceeded to pour out the tea aud attend to the wants of her guests. At her right sat Mrs. Easton, or aunt Susan, whom we all knew as an acquain- tauce, who, sometimes, spent a week with Mrs. Baker. Ter visit was just at an end, and she was about to return home that evening. As Mrs. Baker was pouring out her tea it occurred to her that she was in her aunt’s debt for certain small mat- ters, and when she had the opportunity she pushed the note under her plate, say- ing: “Ifere, aunty, take this five dollars in- part payment of my debt.”’ “Very well,” she replied, “but the money does not belong to me. I owe you fifteen dollars, my dear Grace, which you lent me last Saturday. J had to pay the taxes on my little house and had not the ready woney, and Grace lent it to me,” explained aunt Susan. Grace, an orphan, was a cousin to Mrs. Baker. She and her brother Frank boarded with ber, aud made a yery pleas- ant addition to the family cirele. She was studying music, and her brother was a clerk in a mercantile establishment. As soon as aunt Susan received the note, she handed it to Grace, saying : “1 will give you this now on account, and the rest as soon as I get it.” “All right answered Grace, laughing, “and sinee we all seem in a humor to pay our debts, I will follow suit. Erauk, I owe you something for musie you bought me; here is part of it;’’ and she threw the bank uote across the table to her brother, who sat opposite. We weve all highly amused to see how the note wandered around the table. “This is a wonderful note,’ said Mr. Baker; ‘If cnly wish somebody owed me something, so that 1 could come into the ring.” “You can,” said Frank. “I owe Mrs. Baker, or you it’s all the same, for my board; 1 herewith pay you patt of it.” Amid general laughter, Mr. Baker took the note and threw it playtully to his wife, saying: “It’s yours again, Lucy, because what belongs to me belongs to you. It has completed the round, and we have all had the benefit of it.” “Aud vow it must go arouud again,’ replied she gaily. “1 like to see moncy circulate ; it should never lie idle. Aunt Susan, you take it; pow I have paid you ten dollars.” “Dear Grace, here is another five dol« lars on my account,” said acot Susan, handing it to Grace. “And you, Frank, have received ten dollars for the music you bought me,” eaid Grace, handing it to her brother. “And I pay you teu dollars for my board,’’ continued he, and the note once more rested in Mr. Baker’s hands. The exchanges were as quick aa thought, and we were convulsed with laughter, ‘““Was there ever so wonderful an ex- change ?’ exclaimed Grace. Ii's all nonsense !"’ cried Mr. Baker. “Not in the least,” answered hia wife, “Tia all quite right.” “Certainly,” said Frank; “when the money belongi:d to you, you could dis- pose of it ag you would; I have the same right. Itis a fair kind of exchange, al- though very uncommon.” “It shows the use of money,” said aunt Susan ; “it makes the circuit of the world, and brings its value to every one who touches it.” “And this note has not finished its work yet, as I will show you, my dear hasband, if you will give it to me again,” said Mrs. Baker. “T present you with this five-dollar pote,” said Mr. Baker. “And I give it to you, aunt Susan—l owed you fifteen do‘lars, and I have paid my debt.” “You have, my dear friend, without doubt ; and now, dear Grace, I pay you my indedtedness, with many thanks for your assistance. “T take it with thanks, Aunt Susan,” replied Grace ; ‘‘and now the time has come when this wonder working, inex~ haustible-rich banksnote must be divided, because I don’t owe Frank five dollars more. How much have I to'pay yet ?” “Two dollars and sixty-two cents,’ res plied Frank. “Can you change it {” Let me see; two thirty-eight; yee, there is the change ; the spell is broken, Grace, and you and I divide the spoils.” “This bank-note beats all I ever saw. | ’ How muchvhas it paid? Let ag count up,” said Grace. “Mre. Baker gave aunt Susan fifteen dollars, which aunt Susan gave me; I gave Frank twelye dollars and sixty-two cents; Frank gave Mr. Baker ten dollars—altogether, filty-two dollars and sixty-two cents.” “It’s all nonsense, I tell you,’” cried Mr. Baker. again; -“you all owed each other what you owed before.” “You are deceived, my dear by the rapid, unbroken race this little sum has made; to me it is clear as daylight,” re- plied Mrs. Baker, ““Ifit’s ail nonsense, how could the note which you gave Mrs. Baker, if noth- ing to me or you, be divided between us two 2” asked Grace. ° Mr. Baker didu’t scem to eee it ver clearly, but the othere did, and they ok ten relate this little history for the amuse- ment of their friends. -——————-<p-- —___—_—_ THE PAINTER’S MANTLE, On the fifteenth day of January, 1520, a gentleman arrived in Florence, and went to lodge atthe Sun Inn. Haviog with him only one trunk, the inkeeper thought he could not be very rich, and gave him for this reason a room in the top of the house, No. 40. At that time it was not necessary to give one’s name atan inn, aud those who wished to preserve their incognito gave to their friends the number of their room and the name of the inn where they lodged. This gentleman did 80. At the end of the first week the land- lord presented his bill ; but great was his astonishment when the unknown told him that be had no money, that he expected some eyery day from home, begging him to rest easy, and assuring him that as soon as the mouey arrived be should be paid. ‘The innkeeper went away not very well satisfied, because this stranger ordered the most exquisiie dinners, the most recherche viands, the most expensive wines of France and Germany—and the landlord, being very miserly aud sugpicious, feared for his money. At the end of the second week he made his guest another visit, and, presenting his bill, met with the same respense ; then he looked around the room and saw a mag- nificent mavtle hanging on the wall, all lined with rich fur—a mantle which might be worth 500 silver flurius. The innkeep- er, delighted with his discovery, saluted the gentleman, and descended the stairs. saying to himself, “If he does not pay me at the end of another week, I will make bim leave this mantle in pledge for what he owes me. Some days passed, when there arrived anexpress with a letter for the gentleman in No. 40. The landlord, sure that it contained a remittance, ran to give it himself to the stranger, who took the letter, and seeing the seal, exclaimed, “Oli, the imperial arms !’’ ‘Then he opened the letter and, having red it, said: ‘It isan order to go at once to Bologna, where the Em- peror of Germany, who wiehes to see me, ig atiying at present. A carriage will come for me in a little while, because the journey will be at the Ewmperor’s ex- pense.” “But, sir, before you go, pay me my bill, which amounts to 150 florins.” “You know very well, caro mia, that since I came to your inn, I have received vo letter but this oae; therefore, 1 have not yet received my money, aud, not having received it, lean not pay you. I am an honest man, 1 do not wish to Je. fraud you, and | will seud you the mon- ey from Bologna,” “Sir, if you have no money, as you say to pay me, it doea not matter; leave me in pledge this mantie, (pointing to the one hanging on the wall), aud as soon as you have paid your bill, I will take care to have it sent to Bologna, or to whatever other city your lordship may happen to be in.” “How! have you the heart to let me go away this cold weather without my cloak 1” “A! sir, I do not know you, and I give credit to no one.” “Inbuman wretch without pity—” Here be was interrupted by the por. ter of the inu, who entered, telling the gentleman that the carriage had come for hina. “Very well, he replied, “take my trunk aud | will go.” ‘Phe landlord accompanied him to the gate, saying: “A pleasant journey, 81; we understand each other, and I will res member my prommise.”’ Eager to examine more closely the rich cloak, he mounted at once to the chamber of the unknown, and went up to the wall to take down the cloak, when, ob! berror! be discovered that it was painted ! “Ah! the thief! the villain! a man who deserves hanging!" he began to shout, and made such an uproar that all the strangers ia the iun came out of their rooms to see what had caused sucha noise. “Ah! gentlemen, see—a painted man- tle! ‘Che man who had this room, and who has just gone, not having money enough to pay his bill, was to leave me iu pledge his magnificent, cloak, worth more than 500 florins. Instead, the vil- lain bas put it in his trunk, and left me this; and more than this, he bad the ef- froutery to mock me, reproaching me with being withont buman feeling, without a heart.” One of the strangers, who was an ama- teur painter, said to the landlord ; “You are an ingrate, an ignorant fool. You possess a treagare in this most beau- tiful picture.

A $200,000 fire is truly a big thing, a calami- ty, that we would fear to jest about. Oar citizens have suffered far greater losses, bat we did not yenture to brag about it. We had no idea of incurring the danger of becoming the laughing stock of the country foreo doing. ‘Whe fact that near- ly everything burnt at Charlotte was in- sured does not help the matter, so far as the distressing features are concerned.

Whatever she yadertakes she does in earnest. She concluded to have @ fire.

It is said the Railroads were completely blocked up so great was the number of trains in demaud to transport the enthusiastic patriots. Wecan’t understand why Yankees should take pleasure in celebrating the Centennial of American Independence, since they have gone 80 mach to destroy all the forms of good Government and al! the blessings which were to descend to the people from its establishment. If the same progress be made in destruction that we have witnessed {un the last ten years or Jess, twenty five years more will find us void and without form, so far as the gov- arnoment of our fathers is concerned, and there will ba no propriety, as there is now no pleasare, in selebrating and rejoicing over the shell of what was once the essence of @ vital prieciple. But the Yankees re- «~ « joies, perbaps, over the Centennial of Aseriean Independence for the same reason that thereligious(?) people of Brooklyn de- igud Beecher and enjoy the scandal. The kfluria of the Yaukees to destroy American liberty have resulted to their pecuoiary advantage, and since they have amassed wealth ,in this way, tliey seem to be willing to sce the whole ‘system over- thrown, if money will aeerue to them in the end. Money is their God, just as Beecher is that of the Plymouth pevple. Tbe latter, having no religion, are willing to see it brought into contempt, over- thrown, in order to saye the great liber~ tine.

Taking the lowest made by those well sequainted with the place, it is quite serious, and the sufferers have the uufeigued sympathy of our citi- zens who have themselves telt the power of the devouring flames. The logees con- sisted principally of cotton and were mainly covered by insurance. We are truly glad that the damage is no greater, as there was every reason to fear at one time that the whole towu would be swept away. ‘The Democrat sums up the losses thus: The Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad Company suffera the greatest loss —about $50,000. Messrs. Sanders & Blackwood had on the platform about 1,400 bales of cottou, and not more than 175 or 200 bales were saved, most of that in avery damaged condition. They were insured to the amonut of $100,000 Stenbouse & Macaulay lost about 12 bales—-insured. S.B. Meacham, agent, lost 25 bales, valued at $2,200 - insured. Burrongh & Springs lost several car loads of guano—insured. Oates Brothers lost 29 bales, valued at about $2,000 —no ins surance. Meesrs. Manney & Bros., of Kings Mountain, lost ten bales, valued at $700—no insurance. Ceol. J. Y. Bryce lost about 30 bales—insured. Satherlin & Jobnson lost 64 bales—insured. Mr Kizec lost 6 bales, valued at $450 —no insurance. KR. 1. McDowell lost 9 bales, valued at $700—nv insurance. Mr. John L. Brown and the heirs of the late Peter M. Brown lose heavily in dwellings and tenement houses. Mrs. Feter Brown's losa is heavy, as she had a dower in the tine brick residence on Trade street and the large wooden building near the Depot known asthe “Secoud Fxchange.”” None of the Brown property was ineured, and our friend Johu [,. Brown and Mrs. Peter Brown are heavy losera by the fire. In additvin to the a very large quantity uf furniture was damaged nearly as bad as if destroyed by fire ou being removed from residences. G.

Brown; Brown’s tannerry ; North Carolina Railroad shops; the Peter Brown residence; ‘Viddy’s stable; W. BR. Myer’s kiteheu and stable; C. H. Elms’ stable; and the resideuce of Roberg Beat- ty. The total lose is estimated at about $200,000, the muat of which ia cuvered by insurance. ° The fire, without doubt, originated by a spark from the coiton compressing en- gine, which unfortunately was permitted to bel cated near the cotton platforms. It is very fortunate that the wind chang ed in the direction it did, or the main bus- inese portion of the city would have been destroyed. GRANTISM CONDEMNED. The Boston Post concludes an article congratulating its readers upon the res cent victories in Connecticut, with some very sensible reflections. It says, In this popular persistence for better things in government there is a profounder purpose than the party politicians appre- tend. ‘These repeated popular rebukes are not adminjetered by aceideut, or from an intermittent impulse. Last year’s} proclamation constituted the opening of an entirely new e:a in public affairs. It declared an untireing hostality henceforth to bad and corrupt government, by what- ever name the party administering it might be kuown. Itis upon that high plane that politics are to be corndacted, and they fail miserably to read the lesson who think by plausable words or pleading action, much less by open party defiance, to lead the people to forget the vigor of their indignation and the steady rectitude of their purpose. the best, and in fact the only thing left to the Repablican party is to adjure Grantism as it would fly from fate; to unite in swelling the popular sen- liment in condemnation of every form of corruption and abuse which gives it its only distinction; and to assist earnestly in bringing back republican government to safe Constitutional moorings again, The liat of wrongs and ueurpations, of abuses and frauds, which has been scored against Grantism is too long for recital, but in its entire eignification it has not go soon be- come forgotten by the popular mind. ‘I'he time has come to rebuke and put down the power that. presumes to demand ap- proval for such a parade of faults. Con- necticut freemen bave now rounded cat the judgement of November, and pointed the way to the needed victory of 1876. ‘To begin the seeond century of the Na- lional life with the juaugeration of the third-term heresy, and with so threatening au illustration of itas Grantiem supplies, would be but mocking the efforts and sacrifices of the patriots who tought and died, not fur power, but for freedom alone.” ~~ Mies Susan B.

It will be remembered that when Mr. Beecher was sworn there was a very dramatic acene. He declared that he had conacientious scruples against swearing in the ordinary way, and that he swore with the.uplifted band, and in “the presence of the ever living Gud.” Very pretty indeed, and a fisting prologue to a series of telling tableaux that have had great effect. But it was utterly de. atroyed by the opening questions of Mr. Fullerton. Jn three sentences he proved that Mr. Beecher had overcome his seru- ples when he went before the Grand Jury; and that in one case at least he had con- quered the New England superstitiou against putting the Bible to his lips. We are glad that this question hae been set- tled, because we confess that we were slightly incredulous cf Mr, Beecher’s first statement. A mau. who went around kissing anybody and everybody as he did—smacking his own fulkblooded lips against the severe paraiouless mouth of Dr. Storrs; embracivg Theodore; oscula- ting with elizabeth, and giving Mrs. Moulton “the kiss of peace,” ought not— unless he be more reverent than Mr. Beecher clearly is not—object to taking an oath iu the usual way. —--~~a> > -— The Presbyterian Church in this and other countries numbers about 8,500,00 souls. Are divided up into a number of hodiea. One of them is the Presbyterian Church of the North. This Charch num bers about 480,000 communicants, with a constituency of several millions. Since the days of the Reformation this Chureh recoguized in its constitution aud the doctrine of the life tenure of the rulling or lay elder, as it does the life tenure of the teaching elder or preacher. In the last few years a new doctrine has been promulgated in favor of “term tenure,” of the rulling or lay elder. This is the question involved in the overture submit- ted to the Presbytery of that Church by the last General Assembly. ‘This ex- plains the interest manifested in this region by the people of that communion. We learn that the Presbytery of New Brans- wick, the home of Dr. McGill and Hoge, two of the moat important men of that Church, has voted almoet unanimously against the change. Also the Preshy- tery of Albany, New York, and the West- minister Presbytery, of Peunsylvania, also all the Presbyteries of Kentucky. In all these Presbyteries the elders have voted agains’ this change, aud it is a lit- tle peculiar that the ministry should in any case do so, The tables might turn, and the elders might vote to make also the ministry a term tenure,—Balt.

The Charlotte Southern?Home publish- es an important piece of information touching the authenticity of the Mecklen- burg Declaration of Independence. I gaye: We learn by a private letter from Bol ivar, Tenn, that this distinguished grand- son of Col. Thos. Polk, (Col. Horace M. Polk), of revolutionary fame, has some important facts in regard to the Mecklen- baig Declaration. Among other things, an extract from a Raleigh paper of 1809, giving a speech delivered at Chapel Hill, in which there is an eloquent allusion to the great event of the 20th of May, 1775. The silly notoriety hanters object that not until 1819 did the Declaration attract public attention. Bat Col. Polk can show by the record that ten years before that, and in the lifetime of the actors in that grand movement, a epeaker at the Uni- versity of the State claimed for old Meck- leuburg the houor of first proclaiming independence.” OS The New York Herald, in noticing the arrival of President Grant and company atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel en roule to Boston, says: “‘I'wo colored servants of hia Excellency were at the latter end of the retinue of his Excellency.” After describing the luxurious apartments pro- vided for the President, his wife, daugh- ter and others of the party, it says; His excellency’s colored servants had unfor- tunately to be put away in a somewhat remote apartment,” So it would seem that the doctrine of equal rights between the two races ia no more respected by the signer of the Civil Rights bill than it ie by other people.

AES A ROYAL ORGAN. The stomach has been well named a “royal organ,” since it sways and controls the entire system, every gland, tissue and nerve sympa- thizing with it as the servants of a prince sym- pathize with their master. Each one of them is fed and sustained by it—even the brain it- self. the centre of sensatiun, is absvlutely de- pendent upon it fur sastenance. Conscquently, when the stomach fails to perform its all-im- portant office, the subordinate organs also falter in their duty. The reason why Tfostetter’s S'omach Bitters have such a wondrously bene- ficial effect upon the general health, aud are sucha reiiable preventive of disease, is that they speedily overcome weakness or disorders of the stomach, and thus insure complete nour- ishment of the entire system and a healthful Uniike those stimulants whose alcoholic principle is unmodified by judicious medication, the spirit- ous basis of these Bitters, which is of the purest description, holds in solution herbal alteratives and invigorants to which a foremost rank has been assigned in materia medica. But it is not alone the fact that these sovereign bo- tanic elements enter into the composition of the Bitters that constitutes them such a be- nign tonic and corrective, but also that they are so happily combined that the full effect of each is exerted upon the disordered or debili- tated system. The digesiive and secretive organs are the first to experience their benefi- cent operation, which extends, by sympathy, tothe brain, the nerves and the circulation. The influence thus exerted is fruitful of those great sanitary results which have: built up the reputation of this truly national medicine. performance of its various fanctions.

Was ita myth, old Gen. eral, or something good, gotten up a cers tain purpose? It certainly was a fine thing for Congressional orators, certain editors and Northern preachers.

But it, and our Louisiana ‘ban- ditsi,” have dicd out ; mortuum est. ‘This mystified us, until it was discovered that Baron Munchausen’s arithmetic manufac tured the numbers, and that 80 or 80 per cent. of the murders were prepetrated by Republican voters (wegroes,) and 95 per cent. of the thefts and robberies, where- upon Republican orators, editors aud preachers suddenly grew silent.

Men will look at your city papers, and judge from it that you are a live poe- ple, and be drawn toward you. Not only so, but you will strengthen the paper’s power to do you good, to extend its in- formnation, and to build np your interest in a thousand ways. The business men of acity would find it profitable to con- tribute to the support of its papers, even if they did not receive an inch of space, tor their own particular advertisements. ———-(—+a- —_—_—_ Precious Storrs cf Ocr STATe.—It may not be generally knuwn that the dia- mond. sapphire. amethyst, garnet, and many beautiful specimens of chalcedony are natives | of this State.

An ant-hill lay directly in his path, and Solomon beard its little people talking. “Llere comes the great king,” he heard one of them say. “Ilis flatterers call bim wise aud just and merciful, but he is about to ride over us, and crash us with- out hecding our sufferings.” Aud Solomon told the Queen of Sheba, who rode with him, what the ant said. And the Queen made answer: “He sau insolent creature, O, King! It is a better fate than he deserves, to be trodden nuder vur feet.” But Solomon said : the loweet and weakest.” And he com- manded§his train to turn aside and epar: the ant-bill Then all the courtiers marvelled great- ly, and the Queen of Sheba bowed her head aod made obeigance to Solomon. “Now know I the secret uf thy wis- dom. ‘Thou listenest as patiently to the reproches of the humble as to the flatter- ies of the great.” “It is the part of wisdom to learn of | was a boy he journeyed through Hellas | to go to Naxia; end, as the way was very | long, he grew tired, and gat down upon a | stone to rest. As he eat there, with his eyea upon the ground, he saw a little plant apring up between his feet, and he was so much pleased with it that he de- termined to take it with him and plant it in Naxia. Hetook itup and earnied it away with him; but a8 the sun was very hot, he feared it might wither before he reached bis destinution. He found a bird’s skeleton, into which he thruet. it, and wenton. But in his hand the plant sprouted so fast that it started out of the bones above and below. This gave him fresh fear of its withering, and he cast about for remedy. He found a lion’s bone which was thicker than the bird’s skele- ton; and he stuck the skeleton, with the plant in it, into the bone of the lion. Ere long, however, the plant grew out of the lion’s bone hkewise. Then he foand the the lion; so he put it into the ass’ bone, and thns he mada his way to Naxia. When about to set the plant he foand that the roots had entwined themselves around the bird’s skeleton and the lions bone and the ase’ bone; and, ae he could not take is out without damaging the roots, he planted it as itwas. It came np speedily and bore, to his great joy, the most deli- cious grapes, from which he made the first wine and gave it to men to drink. But behold a miracle!

Letter ftom Chief Justice Pear- son on the Gauge Question. The Greensboro Patriot publishes by permission, au extract from a letter writ- ten by Chicf Justice Pearson, defiuing his position on the gauge question. The Chief Justice says: “When the Railroad case was taken up for consultation, J expressed an opinion adverse to the rizht of the Company to authorize its lessees to change the gauge. I red over the charter with a view of fil- ing a disseuting opiuion and found so much room for debt, as to induce me not to file an opinion. ‘The charter has no restrictions. The Company has power to construct one or more tracks, and to use such gauge as it sees proper. It has power to ‘fam out” (that ig to lease) the right of transporta~ tion, If the Company has power to change the gauge, of course it could authorize its lessees to do so. ‘The objection to the right to change the gauge is that 4 feet 84 inces was adopted and the charters of the other roada connecting with the North Carolina road fixed their gauge at 4 feet | 84 inches. REPLY. The charter of the N. C. road does not treat it as a main trunk, and the charters of other roads were granted without any concurrence on the part of the N. ©. road, so aa to bind it by estoppel and work a restriction not set out ia its charter. As io “public policy” I suppose the courts are not at liberty to make the char ter conform to what may be supposed to be public policy. much may be said on both sides. It ia certain thatthe course of travel and freight is North and Soutb, and facts show that President Caldwell and Governor More- head were mistaken iu the notion that cither travel or freight could be forced to go East and Wert. So it is narrowed to this, does public policy require that travel and freight should be obstructed by a | change of cars and breaking bulk at Char- lotte and Greengboro in order to force things to goto Raleigh Goldsboro and then darn North ? for as driving things to Morehead City that is out of the ques- tion.” ; +. oe ——— What General Gordon Thinks of the Situation General Gordon, of Georgia, has recent: ly given expression to his views about the political condition of the country. He scems very hopeful and evidently thicks there is a better and a brighter day ahead of us. Of course he looks to the Demo- cratic Party for the redemption of the South and for the salvation of the coun- try generally, and he believes if that party shall act with its accustomed wisdom ana honesty in framing its platform, it will have no difficulty in eleeting whatever candidate it may uominate for the next Presidency. Senator Gordon thinks there are four eardinal purposes that ought to be incore porated iato our platform to insare auccess and then adhered to by the party to iu- sure peace. ‘These cardinal proposes are : lst. An houest purposes to reform the abuses of the Radical party, to administer the goverome.t fairly, aud to dispose of i.s revenucs honestly. 2nd, An hon st purpose to bring about kindly and fraternal relations betweeu the now alienated sections of the country, so that the people of this Republic, seek- ing a common end, detending a common right, building up a common couutry, shall move forward iu harmony and peace. 3id. An honest purpose to protect the negro in all his constitutional rights and tranchiacs, which purpose ought to be wade manifest by a defiuite, unmistakable pledge from the Southern people in order to disabuse the Northern minds of the idea that the first etep that would mark Democratic re-agcendency would be the return of the negro to a condition of at least quasi slavery. 4ib. An honest purpose to return to Constitutivnal methods, both in the State and inthe Federal Government, yielding to the geueral government all the rights it has or may bave under the decisions of the Supreme Court, but insisting upon the right of the States to manage for themselves their own iuternal domestic affairs, On this platform with its four cardinal poluts of ho esty, concord, the pros tection of all citizens in their legal rights and a Conatitutioual republic, Seuator Gordon thinks that auy straight out Democrat who has the confidence of the people would certainly be elected, believ- ing as he does that at least two-thirds of the people of America are openly and squarely opposed to the Administration. He thinks te Republicans are hopeless- ly divided, and that it is no exaggeration to say that fully balf of the present Re- publican party are to-day ready to follow Schurz, Fenton and Hesing Bryant, Evarts and Ferry, who are irrevocably opposed to a third term, and to the ad- wiuistration wing of the party, which is controlled by Butler, Morton, Conkling, Logan and Edmands. The financial qneation, the Seaator thinks, ought to be treated just aa the tariff question was treated az Cinciunati, and left to Congress to settle. a Both our mental and moral acquisitions increases by their commuuication tu others ; which gives an illustration of two traths— first, that we are framed to carry out the law of love; and second, that the possessions which multiply ia theimparting sre naturally the inost valuable.

Having nothing to con- ceal, we made an innoyation on established usage, i publishing those lettera received unfavora- ble to our Guano, but careful inquiry in many cases proves that the cause of its failure was not owing to any fault in the Guano, but to those far beyond our control. We have frequently heard the same complaints of its kindred Fertilizer, Pernvian Guano, but the concurrent testi- mony of well known Farmers and Planters from Maryland to the extreme Western counties of North Carolina, justify us in claiming a place for our Fertilizer Superior to many, and Second to None.

On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ; with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounds to the row, 80 rows a difference of over 600 per cent. ranted in mks the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent.

H. THE SILENT HEART. Mrs. Hartley was seated in a small, rather cheerless sitting-room, engaged in the homely occupation of stocking darn- ing, while opposite to her Sadie, her only child, with folded hands, looked out of the window. There had been a tall fig- ure passing down the path that led to the little gate, but loug before, shat was out of sight. Still Sadie sat there, her dark, mouruful eyes Jooking out upon the dusty road, her beautiful mouth fold. ed in lines of pathos, touching in 80 young a face. Busily the shining needle went in and out of the stockings, and some‘imes the mother cast a wistful glanve at the lovely face opposite to her, as if longing to com~ fort or advise. It was strangely pathetic to her to see the little white hands, that were alway so busy, lying idle in the forenoon, the cheerful face so absorbed and ead. At last Sadie broke the long, painfal silence. ‘Mother,’ she said, ‘is it my duty to marry Colton Everhard ?’ ‘Your duty, Sadie’ Have you no warme. word to use when you talk of marrying a man to whom we owe 80 great a debt of gratitude ? ‘No, mother. I am grateful to him, but I do not love him.’ ‘Yet he loves you rota ‘If I could only believe |’ Sadie sighed ‘If I were only sure beloved me! “You doubt that 7?’ Mrs. Hartley spoke in a tone of the utmost amazement, while her basy hands fell idly before ber. ‘You doubt Colton Everhard’s love ?’ ‘Mother, if he really loved me, surely my heart would answer something to his words. But when be is most eloquent I sbrink from him the most, I ask myself why he should feiga a love for me, who can give him notbiog, not even love, in return, and find no answer.

He spoke eloquently of hia love for her, delicately urged his respect and affection for her mother, and expressed the most profound regret that he had ever allowed his anger at his first refusal to influence him, as it had done, to acts, of enmity. .There was no lack of words to prove his sincere affection, as he poured them into the ear of the shab- by, almost despairing girl, and Sadie, listening for some answer from her own heart, found none. Not one throb there bore witness to the truth of the vehement assertions. Sadly, but resolately, she said, as she had eaid before : ‘Icannot marry you, Mr. Everhard. I do not love you, and you do not love me. ‘I do not love!’ cried her suitor. ‘Sadie, can you be so blind, so deaf to love, as to dobt mine? Be my wife, and every bonr of my life shall prove my love for you.’ ‘! cannot be your wife 7’ ‘Do you love another, Sadie ?’ ‘I do not admit your right to ask that question, but I will answer you. I do not love another.’ ‘Then love will come. years if it mast be.’ Bat he pleaded in vain. Sadie firmly refused to become an unloved, unloving wife. It was late when the disappointed sui- tor took his Icave, and Sadie crept into her mother’s arme. ‘Forgive me, that I deny you too the comforts of a home,’ she sobbed. ‘Child, child,’ her mother said, ‘I want no home built upon the rains of your bappiness Have yon forgotten to-morrow is your birth-day, Sadie? Youare twen- ty-one.’ “Andwhen she arrived at woman’s estate, It was all the estate she had.” quoted Sadie, bitterly. There was little sleep in the cheerless attic; but the moruing found the Hart- leys up early, aud Sadie preparing to go out in search of work. A bright saolight made the prospect somewhat more cheer- ful than it had been the previous day, and Sadie was speaking cheerily, when the postman’s voice ran along the narrow hallway. ‘Hartley !’ ‘An answer to onr advertisement ! cried Sadie, flying down for the letter and up again. ‘A great legal envelope, marked Ever- hard and Hill,” she said. ‘Can Colton sue me for breach of promise, moth- er?” There was a pause while Sadie opened the letter.

We have had Temperance Reform- ersof every imaginable shape and style, and yet the evil has grown day by day. The best that bas ever been done for the cause yet outside of the church by the enthusiasts, has been to check the evil for a time, like damming a stream, only to ace it burat forth with increased fury, sweeping away old land-marks and over- flowing and inundating other sectious that otherwise might have escaped. We have come t@ the conclusion that Temperance Refo: m is about on a'par with Lotteries and Life Insurance. Those who engage in it do it for a consideration, and that consid eration is generally the prompting of selfishness. The religion of the Savior is the best antedote against intemperance ever yet devised, and all other plans have proved not only worthless in comparison, but absolutely injurious to society and the public at large, jg cur There is no reforms possible independent of it. The world can well affoad to diss pense with the mere temperarce Icctu- rer: opiuion a a At present we willonly refer to the fact that the present Constitution is the out- growth of aseries of tyranical acts, of acts in total disregard of popular rights, of acts which exeluded the beat men of the State from participating iu its formation — acts which our people, in the passage of events seem wholly to have forgotten. Otherwise they would not cease to look upon the Constitution of "68 as, a mon- strosity, and as the abortion of days of infamy and of oppression, that a tree peo- ple and a people alive to the repute of their State would as soon as possible wipe out of existence.—Haleigh News. And this is the Constitution the last Legislature virtually endorsed, in the at» tempt to bind the Democratic-Conserva- tive party by a solemn oath from the del- egates of the sovercign peuple in Conyen- tion assembled, to refuse to change certain parts or provisions of this same most oppressive and infamous document. For delegates of the Convention to take the so-called oath prescribed by the Legislature, is simply to endorse Radiecal- ism, to admit what no other body wortby to represent the sovereign people ought to admits and thatis, that the Democratic- Conservative party is not true to its promises; that the creature may- bind the creator; that one legislative body can bind the action of ita successor, however superior the power with which that suc- ecssur may be invested; that the people are afraid of themselves, and are no more to be trusted in Convention; that sover- eignty is a delusion which cannot be imparted, delegated to, or invested unre- stricted in the immediate representatives of the people; that a Convention isa the creature of the Legislature and not of the people. ‘This is what the last Legislature aska us to admit and subscribe to, A party that will so belie ite history, its creeds, doctrines and articles of faith, the true and essential privciples of cur form of government,as to obey this request, through the fear of Radicalism, should be spurned aud spewed out by every true man in the land.

Fronr the Spriggfield Republican,” Effect of Mr, Beecher's Evidence Mr. Beecher left the witness stand yes- terday, his leathngny having occupied a little over ten days. Ae we predicted, he has borne bimeelf proudly, aud made a most gallant fight for life, He hase cer tainly done as well as could be expected —better than could: have been expected of any other man than Henry Ward Beecher, envirgned with sach a terrible cordon of fatal evidence. He has denied impreseively, and exclaimed with all the plausibility that his utmost eloquence could command. Yet, we think it is the verdict of the great majority of the impactial observers, and will be the verdict of history, that Mr. Beecher has failed in the effort to re- concile himself with himself. As the Republican said, when he took the stané, he has been the chief architect of the cage against bimeelf, and he has not been able to destroy his awn work. Accepting bis teatimony as agaiust all the other witnesses for the prosecution, he haa failed to break down the two worst witnesses againet him—-Henry Ward Beecher and Elizabeth R. Tilton—and the fatal evidence of their acklowledged acts and words. Mr. Beecher’s pen has proved itself mightier than his tongue. laneible as some of his explanations appear, his present theory of bis condact and letters during the. past four years does not, as a whole, shake the conviction of his guilt, which that conduct and those letters originally made upon the public mind. Thereis probably considerable evidence of one sort and another yet to come, but it is not likely to greatly affect the verdict either of fury or public. As to the former, it still seems, as all along, most probable that there will be a disagreement ; as to the latter, while there will always be two parties, the great body of intelligent peo- ple are seuing down, unwillingly and by pure force of his own evidence, into a cou- viction af Mr. Beecher’s guilt. ——_—~< A Brave Speech. There was several great speeches made at Lexington and Concord and we muet give Ewerson and Curtis full credjt for having done well their part, so far as beauty of dictian, elegauce of expression and loftiness of flight, if not of thought, go, if we cannat entirely eommend the subject matier or sympathise with all the sentiments or opinions expressed in their finished oratious. But the speech that pleasefl us most was a modest little effort by a modest bat brave litthke mau from Richmond, whom we are proud .o number among our beat citizens. We refer, of course, to General Bartlett, a gentleman who has been for some years a_ resident here. but who bag made so little noise that we doubt if he would be kucwn to half a hundred of our people were they to meet him on the street. He was geueral officer in the Federal army, which he en- tered as a private from Yale College at the age of 18 years, we believe, and rose from theranks toa geueralship, not through favoritism, but by gallantdeeds. He-loat a leg at the Crater, and vo highly was he honored at the North that his college voted him the most deserving of the sol. diers she had sent to the field, When such a manas General Bartlett sneaks for the South, at such a time, and before such an audieace, his words must find willing hearers and sink deep iaio the people to whom they were addressed. We give his speech iu full this morning, as we find it in the New York Times, and in the name of of the maligned section, thauk him for his noble words in our defense. We trust his address may be widely circulated both North and South, as it cannot fail of being productive of the happiest effect.—Hichmond Enquirer. —— rb Last Saturday at the dead hours of mid- night our tuwu was entered by 10 or 12 well armed and disguised men. They entered Ashe county jail. (The jailor was not at home) and demanded the key to cell No—.

The ae then left the house and quietly wended their way from town. These are the facts as we have them form the jailor’s wife.

Poe. born Jan! 19,1811; died Oct. 7, 1849; author of ‘The Raven.’ My tantalized spirit here blandly reposes.” EET SS ELEN I ae A NL, CTE: A ROYAL ORGAN. The stomach has been well named a “royal organ,” since itsways and controls the entire system, every gland, tissue and nerve sympa- thizing with it as the servants of a prince sym- pathize with their master. Each one of them is fed and sustained by it—even the brain it- self. the centre of sensationy is absolutely de- pendent upon it for sustenance. Consequently, when the stomach fails to perform its all-im- portant office, the subordinate organs also falter in their duty. The reason why Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have such a wondrously bene- ficial effect upon the general health, and are sucha religble preventive of disease, is that they speedily overcome weakness or disorders of the stomach, and thus insure complete nour- ishment of the entire system and a healthful perfosmance of its various functions. Untike those stimulants wkose alcoholic principle is anmodified by judicious medication, the spirit- ous basis of these Bitters, which is of the purest description, holds in solution herbal alteratives and invigorants to which a foremost rank has been assigned in materia medica. But it is not alone the fact that these sovereign bo- tanic elements enter into the composition of the Bitters that cunstitutes them such a be- nign tonic and corrective, but also that they are so happily combined that the full effect of each is exerted a the disordered or debili- tated system, The digestive and secretive organs are the first to experience their benefi- cent operation, which extends, by sympathy, to the brain, the nerves and the circulation.

F.—The Odd Fellows of North State Lodge No. 26, celebrated their national anniversary on Monday-evening last, in an appropriate an exceedingly pleasant man- ner. The Hall was beautifully decorated by fair hands, and within its walls assembled the members and their families, ,with a large num- ber of invited guests, in all numbering proba- bly two hundred persons. A brief but appro- priate and happily conceiyed address of wel- come was made by Dr. T. W. Keep, N. G., and remarks were also made by Messrs. P. B. Ken- nedy, T, Frank Brown, Wm. Howard and oth- ers. The odes of the Order. were sang, and that grand old refrain, the “Old North State,” was produced with fine effect. Ice-cream, lemonade, cakes, oranges, confec- tioneries &c, were then served in lavish pro- fusion, and at a late hour everybody went home well pleased. These annual re-unions are very pleasant affairs and reflect credit upon the Lodge, which !we are glad to say isina highly flourishing condition. Succésg to Odd- Fellowship in its noble mission! Yadkin Rail Road :—Pursuant to notice &@ meeting in the interest of this Road was held in Meroney’s Hall on Friday night Jast, which was largely attended. Col. Paul N. Heilig was called to the chair. In response to calls Dr.T. W. Keen, Mess. Jno. W. Mauney, Theo. F. Klattz, and Hon. F. E. Shober addressed the meeting, all speaking of the importance and necessity of this connection, and depicting in, glowing colors the benefits to be derived from it. We wish we could publish Mr. Sho- ber’s speech, particularly, which wasa calm, dignified, unprejudiced statement of simple yet telling facts. A committee consisting of Mess. W. H. Crawford, F. E. Shober, and QG. A. Bingham was appointed to confer with Dr. Hawkin, Maj. McRae, of Fayetteville, and others with regard to the proposed byilding of the Fayetteyille Road to this pojnt, which is in contemplation, and which is indeed almost a necessity since the change of gauge on the N.C, RB. R. With proper efforts this Koad can be secured, and then with the W. N.C. R.

Asa class our Lutherans are proverbially a frogal, thrifty and upright people, whose word is always as good as their bond. Rev. J. G. Neiffer, and Mr. Achenback represent St. John’s Church of this place. _ At St. Jony’s Lurugzran Cuurcu -— The sermon here was from the Pastor Rev. J.G. Neiffer.. The text which was taken from Hebrews, 4—ehapter and 16”—verse. is con- tained in the following words:—*Let us therefore come boldly unto the thrune of grace, that we may ubtain mercy, and find. grace to help iu time of need.” The true christian has an ever present al- ways accessible refuge from trouble, and he is invited to come, not doutbfully, not fear- ful of rebuff, but boldly, with that perfect faith which casts out fear. And too, he is promised that he shall receive grace and thut he shall obtain merey. The suurce and the auchority of all this is to be eonsidered, and we find that omnipotenee itself is the guarantee. It is the duty then as well as the privilege of all christians to come unto God through Christ, that for His sake may thus find grace, mercy and pegee.” The Pastor announced that owing to his absence at Synod, his chureh would be closed next Sabbath ; but that regnlar services would be held on the the morning of Ascension Day. Last Sunday was a bright and beantiful day, and as its gladdening rays lit up the earth with almost heavenly splendor, all must have felt the goodness and wisdom, of Hm who planed and ordained these days of rest—these oases in the desert—these mile-stones on the great thoroughfare of life—theserefreshment stations by the way! All the Churches were open, and all were well filled. At the First PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Rey. J Rumple preached from the text :—“And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds; but the wind passeth and cleaneth them” Job 37th ch.2lst verse. This was the language of Elihu to Jub, in which he endeav- ored to disabuse his mind of the impression that he was suffering unjustly, and that God was dealing in unnecessary and unmerited se- verity with him, The wisdom of Ged is as unsearchable as it is indisputable, and His good- ness and mercy are not to be doubted. We should not be too curious to pry into the ac- kuowledged mysteries of Revelations—“into which even the angels desired to look” but can not fanthom.— All that is essential to salvatson is 80 plain that ‘a fool need not err therein.” We should not be disheartened at the apparent hardness of our lot, for as in Job’s case all wil} be right in the end. . “All things (—even tribulations—) work to- gether for good to them that love God.” Av THE Meruopist Cuvurcu, Rev. L. W. Crawford preached from the text:—“And Je- sus answering said,—Were there not ten cleaus- edt but where arethenine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger’” St. Luke XVII-17 & 18 verses. Leprosy was a loathsome disease, horrible to Iyok upon, fearful in its effects, and may wel! be taken as a truthful type of Sin. Sin effects us fearfully in this life, defiting usin every part, 80 did leprosy. Leprosy was coutagious, and the lepers were seperated from the camp; so should we avoid sinful associations, for we will just a8 surely bo contaminated thereby. As the Lepers must ueed be cleansed, so must the Sinnerbe washed in the blood of Christ before he caujbe sayed. How ungrate. ful were those nine Lepers who returned not to glorify God! But do we not often forget, or still worse, wilfully neglect,io return thanks to Almighty God for all his goodness toward ua? Let us be careful to abstain from impure agsoci- ations, Let us realize “‘that there is nope other name given under Heaven whereby we must be saved,” but that of Jusus Christ. And finally. let usin all things, fand for all things, return thanks to Him, from whom alone cometh down every good and every perfect gitt. A CARD.

If you crawl timidly out of bed, go on tip-toe to the stove. and allow the shivers to get control of you before the kindling starts, your fire will probably be a failure, and you will half freeze to death in the operation. But if you jump out bravely, bustle around, pull on your clothes, knock over a chair or two. and pitch fn the stove-wood, you will probably be too warm by the time the fire gets to burning, and will have to open a window. So in life. Attack it timidly, and yuu will fail. Grap- ple with it, hurry up things, stir around, eonguer fortune, and you will be a success. nO agg ee Mr. Beechers testimony in regard to his paymend of money to Mr. Moulton for Mr. Tilton’s benefit reveals a very fluctu- ating estate of mind. Part of the time he thought he had been blackmailed, and part of the time that he had not. When he listened to hia lawyers, and when he wrote his defense, last-summer, he was ef the opinion; but when he was left to himself he was of another. He reminds as of the darky who had taken a ten dol- lar bill which his employer pronounced a counterfeit. A few weeks afterward he was azked what had become of it. “Why, you see, massa, I never was quite clar in my mind about dat are bill. Some days I tought him bad, and some days | tought him good; and one of dem days dat I tought him good I jis’ passed him away.” —Sun ———————————— Sue Curep Hiu.—A young mechanic recently got married to the girl of his eboice, and the happy pair went to house- keeping. After the honeymoon was over, the young wife discovered that her hus- band’s temper was none of the sweetest, and that all attempts at mollifying him by sweet miles and kisses were flat fail- ures while his “dander” was up. So, like a sensible young woman, she resolved on another plan of action, and soon had an opportunity to try it. He was rather eaptious about his steak, but she made no excuse. ‘‘It’s tough” said he ‘‘and it is not cooked enough.” The young wife smiled, but made no defense. Then he ot fearfully mad, lifted his plate. and hed it on the floor, with the remark: “Blast that steak!" His wife raised up her plate, too, and dashed it on the stove with the remark: .‘That’s me !”” The hus- band started at the plate, at his wife, and then at the floor. and said: ‘Why, Eliza, yon shonid not mind me. If I ama lit, a hasty I soon get over it’ She cared im. —_~->-____—_ The Asheville papers are rejoicing over the brightening of the skies in regard to the Western N. C.

Long indeed have the people of the west looked in vain for the completion of this grand enterprise. The eyes of thousands are now turned to the healthy regions of Western North Carolina, and only await the completion of the roads, to link their destiny with us.

He is also the possessor of a large green parrot, which is said to be at least seventy years of age. Within the last few months a very strong attachment has spruug up between these two creatures, and they are almost inseperable. The parrot talks all day long of the dog, and keeps calling tim by name while he is away. The dog seems very uneasy when the parrot is out of sight, and wanders about, evi- dently in an unbappy frame of mind, He haa licked all the feathera off of one of the parrot’s wings, but still the latter seems rather to court bis strange caresses. It is decidedly interesting to witnese the mauaner ia which the two play together, The parrot walks along the dogs back, out on to the tip op his nose, when she gravely pecks that member and as grave-~ ly walks back to the rear. This stately promenade is kept up for hours, the par~ rot all the time croaking out its canine friend’s name and applying endearing epi- thete to him, such as ‘Ob! you old bum, Jack!’ ‘Jack, you rascal!’ and others which are frequently harled at the dog by — 38 on om a meinem neat ee ’ a Tue.Gomrue Curcaco HorrL.—The latest American progress in baiidiog will be the Mammoth Hotel, soon to be erécted in Chicago. This enormous hotel ia to have a frontage of three English miles, and a depth of six miles. The height of 77 stories will measure 2,480 feet from the ground floor to the roof. The hotel wil! have no stairs, bat five hundred balloons will always be ready to take visitors up to their rooms. No waiters to be employed, but visitors will be seryed by a uewly invented automatic, put up in every bed room, which will do alt the shaving, shampooing, ete., for the guest —a very simple and ingenious piece of mechanism. Supposing the guest re~ vires hot water, the automatic will be able to call down stairs, “A bucket of bot water up to room No- 1,003,107!” and the water will be up in seven seconds by the pattent elevator. One half hour be fore the table d’hote, instead of the ring- ing of bells, a gun (24 pounder) will be fired on each floor to call the guest to get ready for their meals. The table in the dining room will measure four miles each, attendance to be preformed by twelve waiters on horgeqack 6n either side of the table. Masic during table d’hote will be played gratis by eight banda of seventy- seven men each. For the convenience of visitors a railway will be built on each floor, as well as telegraph offices. ‘The price of one bed room will be from one to ten dollars. The cost of this building is estimated to be $680,000,000. The bil. liard room will contaia nine hundred American, ninety-nine French, and one English table; and most of the visitors are expected to be American. The bil- liard room will be fitted out with spittoons of one handred feet in circumference. —Berlin National Zeitung. Charlotte will have a hotel some of these days that will make the fellow who wrote the above ashame. Chicago is a small place compared to what the little town situated at the Air Line Junction, is to be. oe Shameful. For a short time past the revenue of- ficere of the government have been riding through Yadkin county destroying atills and fixtures with a high hand. Yadkin county lies remote from rail roads, and consequently, has no market for their great abundance of grain, and it would bear heavily upon them if the revenue law was enforced strictly. But the con- duct of officials for the last few years, when taken, togetber with their recent demonstration, is simply shameful. It is well known that for years the revenue officials of the sixth collection district have been winking at the violation of the reve- nue laws, it is also notorious that some of them have been interested in illicit distil- ling while holding revenue offices. Under their examples the people of Yadkin County have been led to believe that to open up their old slumbering distilleries and embark iu business as they did be- fore the war, was no offence that the law would take notice of, aud consequently some of the best citizens ot thia county went into it. But uow that the things have gotten ripe ard these hungry vultures finding that there is a rich barvest of carcasses await- ing them, pounce down upon the county of Yadkin, and within a very few days the work of years by weary hands ie giv- ento destruction. We say it is infamous. If intended to enforce the law, why wait for your victims to multiply? Why go around for years, and wink and smile yourselves into the confidence of a natur~ ally honcet, hard working and uneuspect- ing people ouly to ruin them in the end. If these pests of society had made honest endeavors to enforce the revenue luws from the beginning we would have uothing to say, but for political purposes they have acted ag above stated, and now for some other purpose, whether mercens ary or not, cant say, they have well nigh ruined Yadkin county. Such are glories of Radical rule. As instance after in- atauce of radical treachery is brought to light, the prayers of au outraged and in- dignant people multiply as they assend, asking that “a mighty strong west wind may take the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea so that there may not res mainone locust io all the coasts of Egypt.” — Winston Sentinel. —_—~<>-—__—_—_—_ Love In WaASsHINGTON.—Among the guests accomodated at Mr. Webb’s house in Georgetown, says a Washington cer- respondent, was a certain legationist, Ba- ron Von Havre by name. He passed through the department one day on an inspecting tour, along witha party of friends, and was arrested by sight of a fair sweet face crowned with a golden glory, bending industriously over some piece of writing. He looked so long that nis companions chaffed him upon his sud- den smimte. He returned after a few hours spent with his friends, and inquired about the beaatiful girl, and was soon afterward an inmate of her house on the Hieghta’ ‘The half sister, who dressed well. visited, and did nothing, laid claim to the nobleman’s attention, and the moth- er did all she could to assist her daughter; but the Baron had eyes and thoughts for the neglected maiden, who rose so early in the morning and marketed and made her pretty, simple dresses with ber own nimble fingers, and went patiently through suunnmer heat and winter's snow to her desk in the government office. So he offered ber his hand, hia heart, and his fortune of $50,000 per annum, and she became the lovely bride of a nobleman ‘in every senese of the word, I remember how beautiful she looked in her filmy white dress with a silken light sheening through its lacey meshes, and pearls, whose years number as many as the beads which formed the necklace. I saw a pic- ture of her, taken from an oil painting, after she had lived as a happy bride and beautiful mother in far off Germany. She sat in a halfscovered arbor, with a half wreath of flowers falling carelessly from her lap to the ground. Her arms and neck are both bare and pertectly free from ornament, yet eo equisitely molded that jewelry would merely take away from them their beauty. Her beaatifal hair is parted —“one moonbeam from the forehead to the. crown,” and combed smoothly back from her lovely face.

This ie their old war cry of 1871, anda more abuerd scarecrow was never invented. It is really amusiug to to read such trash in radical papers, whose readers, with some few exceptions, never owned or ever will own a Homestead. Besides, the democratic party has the credit, if any there be, of enacting the first Homestead and Personal Property Ex- emption law, which was passed by the democratic Legislature of 1866-'67, and exemped from sale under execution, to wit: “One Hundred acres of land, if “in the county, or one acre if within the “city or town; those to inclade the resi- “dences of the Homestead men together “with the necessary out houses, also all ‘necessary farming and mechanical tools, “one work horse, one yoke of oxen, one ‘‘cart or wagon, one milk cow and calf, “fifteen head of hogs, five hundred pounds ‘‘of pork or bacon, fifty bushels of corn, “twenty bushels of wheat or rice, bouse- “hold and kitchen furniture, not to exceed “in value two bandred dollars, the libra> “ries of licensed Attorneys at law, practi- “cing physicians and Ministers of the “Gospel, and the iustraments of surgeons “and dentists used in their professions ” This law was enacted February 25th 1867, by a Legislature in which there were not more than fifteen or twenty Radicals; and more than a year before the adoption of the Constitution which contains the present Homestead measure in it. Thus it will be seen that instead of the democratic party being hostile to this benign and humane measure, to it be- longs the credit of firet engrafting it as a law upon our statute books. More than this. To the late democrat- ic Legislature belongs the credit of passing tho act making the Homestead fee sim- pls. A bill to this end was offered early in the session by our young Representa- tive, Isaac F. Dortch, Eaq., and was finally enacted into a law. In the face of such a record, it is absurd beyond reas son to charge that the democrats are opposed to the Homestead features when witlrin its party folds are found nine-tenths of all the Heiwertead owned in the State. — Messenger.

Gentlemen: Io reply to your inquiry as to the merits of the Guanahani Guano, I will state that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in nee in our country. In the month of February 1 bought two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn, On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, I picked 1} ounces the same day—showing a difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ; with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounde to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—ehowing a difference of over 600 per cent. . I have not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent. On one acre of ground, as a test, I sowed 400 pounds of Guanahani broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstances, has average 700 pounds of eced cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds E. A. PROPST. —_—— Daviz Co., N.C. Meeers Meroney & Bro. _ _ GENTLEMEN :—In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of Guanahani Guano, I would sa that I used it last Summer on an old field which would have pecs es very poorly under ordi- nary circumstances but which under the application of Guanahant yielded me a very crop. I had one test row and this showed.a difference of over three hundred per cent. in favor of the Guano. . . 1 a satisfied that it is a good Fertilizer and take pleasure in recommending it to every far- mer who wishes to increasebis erops as being fully equal if not superior to any Guano on the market.

Mr. Dorchester and his friend Harold Clifton, the editor of the “Apollo Maga zine,” were sitting cosily, tefe-a tete, in the editorial sanctum down town, a pretty room, with a blue carpet, and a table of carved black walnut in the centre of the apartment, high heaped with papers, man- uscripte, letters, ecissored “items” and books of reference ; while the fire crack- eled in the chimney piece with dancing bituminous flame, aud the driving snow clicked softly agaiust the window panes. rIt was very snug, very. disorderly, and very professional. ‘I'o be sure, there had been a boqnet ina Venice glass two weeks ago, but it was faded now; a print pinned againet the wall was curled at the corners, and awry at the the top, and the editor’s right slipper bung ou the entended arm of a beautiful marble statuette of “Payche” in the corver. Mr. Clifton meant to have an arrangement some day, but the period bad never yet arrived, and he had a theo ry that orderly disorder was rather an advantage than otherwise. He waa tall and geod looking with clear, gray eyes, thick browa hair, and features which, if not strictly classical, were regular enough to be very pleasing: and there was «a something in the mould ot his firm mouth which betoken no ordi- nary degree of character.— Dorchester, on the contrary, was small and rather femi~ nine in his style—what ladies would call “a love of a man,” and geatlemen ‘a dap. per little fellow.” And these two men were fast friends and allies, after their man-fashion. “What is that you never could account aatiafactorily for?” asked Mr. Clifton, reaching over fora Greek Lexicon, and tipping the Venice glass on to the floor, where it splittered iuto a score of ruby eparkling fragments, ‘There goes my last flower vase; and serves it right for being everlastingly in the way.” “The fact that you never married,” was the curt reply. “And why should I marry ?” “Because you are the very man of men for whom a home and a hearth stone of yourown is a vital necessity—because your vatere is a born doable, and you can never be yourself until you meet aud re- cognize another balf.”” “That soands metapbysically,” said Clifton, with a slight curl of his upper lip. Pl don’t care how it sounde—it’s as true as gospel! Come old fellow own up —how ia it that you never fell in love?” “Supposing I should tell you that I was in love once !”’ “Really and truly 7” “And suppose I were to further add that I was young and untried, with no fortune but my own strength and brains —that she was beautiful, proad and am-~ bitious.

It was a prettier, neater little room than that beyond, plainly and inexpensively furnished with matting, bair-cloth chairs, anda single-table covered with green drapery, on which lay a boand file «f the ‘Appulo Magazine’ for the last five years. There wae nothing specially iuviting about the apartment; therefore, it was not strange that the lady, who was its sole accupant, sat by the window, her face turned away from the door-way, looking wiet(ully oat on the white wilderness of fast falling snowflakes. Mr. Clifton’s courteously modulated voice made her start. “I am very sorry to have to tell you, madam,”’ he began, politely, “that your manuscript is quite unsuited to the pages of our magazine, for—”’ It was his turn, now, to start and look embarrassed. ‘Do you recognize me?’ asked the lady cecloring scarlet. ‘I—I thought I was so changed |’ ‘Do you think it is likely I should ever forget Eleanor Kirby?’ he asked a little bitterly. ‘You will shake bands with me IJar- old ?? ‘Certainly 1’ He proffered Lis hand, with the easy grace of a man of the world: ‘But you look pale and worn—have you been ill?’ ‘Il--and poor—and alone in the world,’ she said, trying to keep down the sob in her voice. ‘Ob, Harold, since you have refused my poor little etory—’ ‘Did you write it?’ ‘Yes, hut I got the landlady’s daughter to copy it, so that you would not recog- nize my handwriting.

The Letter of an Empress—Ma- ria Theresa to Her Daughter Maria Christina—A Princess who Married for Love. Translated from the Gerinan for the Sunday - Chronicle aud Sentinel. MARIA THERESA’ SLETTER TO HER DAUGH- TER MARIA CHRISTINA. My dear Daughter: -You want me to give you some advice upon your future situation. ‘I'here are a great many books which treat upon this subject. I will not repeat what they say. You know that we women are subject to our husbands; that we owe them obedieuce; that our ouly aim shall pe to serve the husband, to be useful to him, to make him a fath- er and oor beet friend. If, also, anfortu- nately, example shows the contrary, still I cannot release you of your duty. You warried your hueband from inclination ; that is the only reason why [ established you. Yon know your husband; you have every reason to hope to be as hap- py with him as it is possible in this world to be. Seek to deserve God's blessing by lead- ing a Christian's life. Set others an ex- ample by your kindness, your piety—by. a deceut deportment, a modest reserve— which you ought to observe everywhere. It is for you to set the fashion, and 1 am convinced tbat you will do it; you are well fitted for it; you posses grace and humility ; but take care not to exaggerate these virtues and good qualities. ought especially to remiud you that in your tender love for your husband you do not show it tov much, so that it would be iuopportuse to him; nothing is more deli- cate than this rock, and the most affec+ tionate and virtuous women and those who marry tor love, often sbipwreck upon it; you must not offer even the most innocent caresses; endeavor to have them sought and asked for. In ourcouutry they want above all things uo restraiat; by the bad examples it has got so far that you can do so without offeuding. The more lib erty yoo let your husband have, in asking the least restraint and the less tender at- tention, the more amiable you will ap- pear—he will seek you and be devoted to you. Your principal study should be for him to fiud you always in the same bamor, the same amiability, the same complais- ance. Enudeavor to entertain him, to oc- cupy him, so that nowhere he is better pleased than with yoa. To gain bis con- tidence you must take care to deserve it by, your behaviour and discretion. Never let suspicion euter yoar heart; the more liberty yon let your husband enjoy, the more you show your teelings and your contideuce, the more attached he will be- come to you; all bappiness -in marriage consiats in coufidence and continual ami- ability. ‘be foolish love soon disappears, bat you must esteem each other; be use- ful to each other. ‘The one must be whe other’s true friend; to bear the misfortunes ot this life and to establish your welfare. ‘This ia the moet essential poiot in what- ever position you way be placed. In this regard I only tear a too much, that could influeuce your mutual happiness. I have seen you jealous with your friends, be~ ware of it with your husband, that would take him from you. You must not even joke upon this subject, from jest one gets to reproaches, vexation is added to it, the respect and the charm of life disappear and dislike takes their place. The more confidence yoa show in your basband, without rcstrainiog him in the least, the more attached he will be to you. What happiness for a man to have always at his aide an amiable wife, who ts constautly occupied to make him happy, to e.tertain him, to console him, to be useful to him ; who does not restrain him, lets him come to ber atbis pleasure, is satisfied with bis tender attentions and happy to be with him. The wife who does not do this from the begianing will feel the con- sequences afterwards. All marriages would be bappy if regalated by this; but everything depends upon the wife, she ought to keep the right middle to gain the respect and confidence of her husband ; she ought never to misase it, neither to show off with it norto commandit.

Youcan do that once, but if he decides on the contrary, you have ouly to obey, and even in sutha way that one thinks you are doing your own business wiibout listening to any modification. Nothing is easier, when one loves truly and knows oue’s duty.— This is in this world the only means to live happy and contented. If your buss band finds you always occupied to add to hia happiness by your kindness, if you try, that be is happier, more contented, more trusting with vou than elsewhere, then you may hope to attach him perma- nently to you and thns to found your happiness ; but you must not want to force things or make a confession apon the subject, he must become oaiicay of it himself. Very plain and old womea have often euflamed the strongest passions by their complaisance, by their expert- ness to entertain and attract people, Whilo the most beautiful women are neglected, because these qualities are wanting. less playful the better. This is an evil that now-a-days is much in fashioz, “bat a great superiority of mind and much bon- esty is necessary to be playful without becoming disagreeable. Wheu familari- ty comes elsewhere, it brings bitterness in the society and drives away all propri- ety, all politeness. At your court never allow speeches with double meaning or calumny. Explain things right away, and you will banish all licentiousness trom around you. Qo all occasions show you zeal to do justice to virtue, expel from your socicty all that are wanting in it. I do not tell you anything aboat your own conduct. Ncver neglect the duties of re- ligion ; in marriage one bas most need of prayer aud the help of God. Yoar reli- gious readings ought to take place regus larly. I recommend yon especially to be punetual in this. Regulate your devotions as well as your alms according to your confessor’s advice. The good God has given you 60 many talents, 80 many gras ces. He bas selected you from your ou- merous family tobe the bappivess and joy of your parents and your sister-in-law, who isa saintand a prophetess. He has given you a virtuous husband of your own choice. I hope that God will finish his work and make you bappy, if you do not desert Him, and if you follow my ad- vice, which, as well as my tender love, shall never desert you. I give you my blessing and embrace you tenderly. Ever your loving mother, Marta THERESA. — —---e@o--- ---- The Art of Shopping. Very many dollars my be saved if buyers exercise judgment and forsight in making their purchases. Jt is, generally speaking, a saving both of time aod mon- ey te buy a large quantity at a time of anything that will be likely to increase in price; and those without forethought, buy each day only what is required for the days’s needs, to use another old proverb, “let mouey run out at the heels of their boots.” Wood may be laid in at the end of sammer to last through the winter; apples may be bought by the bushel and soap by the hundred weight ; for soap will not waste balf so much if it be kept till it is dry. Always do your shopping yourself. Do not give your orders to the servants to give to the tradespeople ; but go round to the shops, choose what you want, and pay for it at once. That most objectionable practice of a tradesman sending round for articles to be paid for sometimes, is the caase ot ruin in many a bome. Such a system leads to the purchase of many an unne- cessary article, which would never have been thought of if the money had to be paid down at once. Personal illness, or more urgent duty, may prevent the mis- tress of a hoceehold from doing ber own shopping ; but love of ease and iadolence oaght oever to be allowed to do so.

There war 00 diversity ot opinion upon the poticy of these restriciiuus, saye the News. Is policy the only jastifieation the News bas to offer fur an act so unreason~ ble, so disregardful of plighted faith, so disereditable to the honor and fidelity of on the subject. Dickinson, from yankee land, who was trying to pay her way through the South by lecturing, received a cordial greeting in Raleigh aud Charlotte, althongh it is said she rides a horse like a man in order to increse the privileges of temales. And last week a female lec'urer was granted permission to usea Hall iv the State Cap- itol at Raleigh to lecture. Such signs indicate that the standard of female vi- tue and morality is being lowerrd at the South as it bas been for a long time at the North. Preachers who participate and assist io couducting Lectures in publie by females are about as much out of place as the Preachers who have been acting as Chap- lains for secret class combivations aud euecuraging contention and class feeling between citizens. We regret to see that a Mivister of the Episcopal Church, par- ticipated in a female lecture concern at Raleigh; by offigiatiug in prayer on that occasion. Let the Church take care of the Chureh, but the Church should have nothing to do with travelling lecturers, male or femate, or secrét class combi- nations of any sort.—Charlotte Demo- crat. B ens Remedy for Hard Times. (State Agricultural Journal.] 1. Hard work. Reliet will come from hard, pereisten:, well directed labor. It is God’s method for relief from all crises cal labor before bread is eaten, or debts are paid. It isa singularly effective way of fighting hard times. 2. Economy in all things. This mast be added to hard work, or as the prophet saith, your wages will be “‘putinto a bag with holes. Right new, nothing will pay better than judicions economy. Watch your tables, your pcraon—your expendi- tures every way. Don’t Le ‘penny wise and pound foolish.” Deny yourselves the gratification of every artificial want. Natural wants are but few ; artificial ones are legion, and the latter produce, mainly, the hard times —sach crises as are now open the whole cogntry. 3. Discard thecredit system. Pay the cash for what you purchase, or let it alone. Laziness and want of egonomy have slain their thoueanda, bat the credit system has slain itstens of thoasands. Stop it, elee the whole eountry will go to finans cia] ruin. The readers has briefly, onr remedies for the evils that afflict men’s pockets so MARRIAGE LAWS. \ There is a class of laws which it is very diffica't to chang after they have once been established. This is emphatically trae of marrage laws. In the large number of States which constitute this Puion there existe a great variety of provision regulating marriage ; and there seems to be little or bo tendency to assimilate them.—Tv be sure, the taking of a plurality of wives is now everywhere forbiddeu ; but for many years it was permitted in Utah. and the statue on that subject does not affeet mat- riages which took place before it was enact- The laws of the different States relating to divorce also differ yery widely ; and—what sceins strange—a good aod sufficient grouod for d:ssolving the marriage tie in Puritan Massachusetts may be vo legal ground whatever in the State of New York. In Great Britain a good deal of incon- veuience has been experienced from the dissimilarity of the laws of marriage pre- yailing in England, Ireland and Sevt!and. Parliament has been trying for years to har- monize these laws, and inerge them in one homogencous system ; but the task has been found beset by so many difficalties that sone of its priacipal advucates have relin- quished it in despair. There is one prineiple, however which, in spite of all laws, applies to the marriage relaxation everywhere ; aud that is that its happiness depends upon imatual fidelity. devotion. --~-<=-—_-—- The Graham Gleanor says: On Friday night last, about nine o'clock, the store- house of Peter L.

The hur- ry and bustle and anxieties of business keep the nervous system-in a state of unnatural tension during business hours, and in the end impair the elasticity and vigor of the vital or- ganization. The penalty of all undue excite- ment is subsequent exhaustion. The best remedy for it, whatever thecause, is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the tonic and alterative pro- perties of which rapidly diffuse themselves through the entire system revive and reinforce every dormant faculty, and restore a natural condition of body and mind. Some moral re- formers insist upon the disuse of all stimulants. This, to say the least of it, is irrational. All competent physicians admit that pure medica- cated stimulant is one of the most useful reme- dies known. As a tonic and invigorant for the aged and languid, Hostetter’s Bitters has no equal. It is the sheet-anchor of the feeble and debiliated. In all climates and every species of disorder which breaks down the bodily strength, it is an absolute specific. It is also an invaluable remedy for sea-sickness. The nausea and retching caused by the pitch ing and roliing of a vessel at the sea paralyzes the bodily and mental energies, and those who suffer from it would do well to restore to the Bitters as a means of sure and permanent relief. steamer should sail without a sapply of the articles.

There appears to be many different ways of understanding the true meaning of vewspaper patronage, as it is called, and as an interested party, we give place to a diequisition on the subject by one who knows whereof he writes. It will serve perbaps as a mirror in which certain para ties may “see themselves as others see them :” Many long and weary years of exper. ience in the publishing basiness bas forced the conviction upon us that newspaper patronage is a word of many definitions, and that a great majority of mankind, are either ignorant of the correct definition, or are dishonest in a strict bibical sense of the word. Newspaper patronage is com~ posed of as many colors as the rainbow and as changeable asa chameleon. One man comes in and subscribes for a paper and pays for it-iu advance, then goes home and reads it with the proud eatisfaction that it is hie. He haods in his advertisemeat, asks the price, and pays for it, goes to his place of business, and reaps the advantage thereof. ‘This is patronage. Another man asks you to eend bim the paper and goes off without saying a word about pay. ‘l'ime passes on, and you are in need of money, and ask him to pay the sum he owes you. He flies into a passion, perbaps pays, perhaps not, and orders the paper stopped. ‘Lhis is called patronage. Anotber man has your paper for a long time without payment, and becomes tired of yon and wants a change. Thinks he wll have a city paper. He tells the post- maeter that he dou't want that paper any more, and a copy comes back marked “vefueed.” But he don’t pay, ob no! he i has to keep your money to buy a city (paper. Pay comes when you sue bin. Such mav be cailed patronage. Ove man brings ina filty cent ad veriise- meut and wante a two dollar puff thrown in, ard when you declive he goes off mad. Even this may be called patronage. Another man don’t take your paper, it is too small or too high priced, but he borrows regularly and reads. Aud that could be called patronage.

It will be seen by reference to it that a material change has been made in the section as it existed in the former law. The only exemptions which it now authorizes are agricultural implements and fruit trees which are the growth of mans atacture of the bowse selling them, and seeds of all kind intended for the improve~ ment of agriculture. This section is entirely consistent with the decisions of the Supreme Courts of the Cuited States and this State. It applies to residents as well as non residenta.

Savispoury, N. O., October 10th, 1874. Messra Meroney & Bro. Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of the Guanahani Guano, I will state that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best fertilizers now in use in our country. In the month of February I bonght two tons and applied it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, and 100 poundsto the acre on Corn. On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods Jong, which had been , fertilized at the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of this one, of the eame length, to which I had applied no fertilizer, I picked 14 ounces the same day—showing a difference of over 8500 per cent. between land fertilized and not. I counted the number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre : with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounde to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to the acre—ehowing a difference of over 600 per cent. . I have not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but from general observation, I feel war- ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited sy Corn at least 100 per cent. On one acre Bt esuani as a teat, I sowed 400 pounds of Juanahani broadcast, subsoiling at the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstances, has average 700 ogg of sced cotton ; this year the yield will be at least 1800 pounds E. A. PROPST. Davigz Co,, N.C. Mesers Meroney & Bro. GENTLEMEN :—In reply to your inqui that J used it last Summer on an old field which would have produced very poorly under ordi- nary ciregmstances but which under the application of Guanahani yielded me a very good crop. I had one test row and this showed a difference of over three huadred per cent. in favor of the ae to the meritx of Guanahani Guano, I would sa Guano. I am satisfied that it is a good Fertilizer and take pleasure in recommending it to every far- mer who wishes to increnselis crops as being fully equal if net superior to aay Guano ‘on the market, MATTUIAS MILLER. od WE SELL GUANAHANI AT $38 PER TON.

I whispered, “Tell ine why it is That rose ‘is like my heart ?”’ “What know I of your heart?” said she, “Your riddle is too deep for me.” “Because my heart was full of hopes As leaves npon your rose ; You scatter them from day to-day As now you scatter those. And soon my poor heart, stripped of all, Forgotten, as the rose, must fall.” “Ah! crimson cheeks and bashful eyes! My riddle was so plain— She stooped and gathered from the ground The fragrant leaves again. “Ah, love!” I cried, “and can it be, Sweet hopes may yet return to me?” <b FATHER RYAN'’S LAST POEM Gather the sacred dust Of the warriors tried and trne, Who bore the Flag of onr Nation’s trust And fell in the cause, though Lost, still just And died for me and you. Gather them one and all! Froin private to the Chief, Come they from hovel or privately hall, They fell for us, and Jor them should fall the tears of a Nation’s griet, Gather the corpses strewn O'er many a battle plain, From many a graye that lies so fone, Without a name and without a stone, uather the Southern slain. We care not whence they cawe, Dear is their lifeless clay! Whether anknown, or known, to fame, Their cause and country still the eame They died—and wore the Gray, Wherever the braye have died, They should not rest apart; Living they struggle side by side— Why should the hand of death divide A single heart from heart? Gather their scattered clay, Wherever it may rest ; Just as they marched to the bloody fray, Just as they fell on the battle day; Bury them breast to breast. The foeman need not dread This gathering of the brave; Without sword or flag, and with sound- less tread, We mu muster once more our degshiess dead— Out of each lonely grave. The foeman need not frown, They are all powerless now— We gather them here, and we Jay them down, And tears and prayers are the only crown We bring to wreath each brow. And the dead thus meet the dead While the living o’erthem weep ; And the men whom Lee and Stonewall led; And the hearts that once together bled, Together still shall sleep. -_——~abPo———__..

One evening, jnst after Clarence had returned to his unavoidable engagement in the city, old Uncle Elnathan came to vieit me. Uncle Elnathan was ove of those pers sons of whom we are apt to ask, “why were they ever created }” He was a venerable old gentleman, with long silver hair, that fell ouver the collar of his bottle-green coat, and cloth gaiters that irresistibly reminded one of a black pnsry cat, and he took suuff aud talked through his nose. “Harviet,’. said Uncle Elnathan “ia this trae?” “Ts what true, Uncle?” All this fol-de-ro] about your being en- gaged to a man ten years younger than yourself. Harriet! Harriet! I thought you had better sense.”’ “It's only five yeara, Uncle, said I, pouting, and I suppose I havea right to get engaged without sending to you fora perwit. . “Harriet, this is nota subject to be flippant about,” said Uncle Elnathan. ‘You may depend upon it, that this yoang, man is a mere fortune banter. You bave property, Harriet, and be has found it out.” “Uncle !’’ I cried, starting up, “I will not listen tamely to such aspersions upon the eburacter of one who—”’ “Well, my dear, you needn’t get exci- ted,’’ seid the intolerable old gentlemen, tapping hie hand upon the lid of bis silver snuff box. “You are not a child, Harriet, nor vet a sentimental school girl. Let’s talk the matter calmjy over.” “I decline to discuss it, sir,” was my dignified reply. “My mind is made ap and no amonut of medling interference can induce me to alter it.” “But aren't you just a little pert to- wards your old Uncle, Hattie 2’ So my Uncle went away, silver hair, snuff-box, passy gaitere, and all, and I eat down to make a memorandum of the things I ehould require for my wedding ourfit. For I] had resolved: to make an especial journey to London cn that basi- ness. Ab, the delight of reveling over coun- ters full of choice, filmy laces, billows of bridal silks, eceans of tulle! it brought: the color to my cheeks only to think of it.: And besides, was it not neceseary that Clarence’s wife should have all that eus- tom required 1°: ior if hig- I didn’t care for myself ao mee) bat I wae determined rot to disgrace Clarence. ’ So due radiant ‘Beprentiter” Wa 4 when sky ‘was dg blue as blue ribbon, 404) go hey tan ae xs ols iy rey, a o-Bl Yi’ ever felt so small in the whole course of my life as I did walking over the floor of M Rechamier's Parisian restaurant, with a wailer ranning on before to point out a marble table sparkling with cut-glass and silver, and another following ou bebind carrying my traveling-bag and parasol; while an elegant Frenchman, curled and perfumed, stuod in the middle of the door bowiug ae if he were under eternal obli- gations to me for so much as coming in his eatablichment. I sat down, feeling much as if I were an impostor, ventaring meekly to look around a little after the waiter had sim- mered away. Then, for the firat time, I noticed a superbly~dreesed young lady, one or two ftables beyund, in a lovely hat, with a long, lilae willow plume, and hair like a shower of gold. “Oh, how pretty she ia,’ thought I, “How proud her lover must be of her. I teaned the fast bit in the world for« ward, to eee thy young man in question. Good heaven 4 It was Clarence. And as I sat staring, completely con- cealed from his view by the goiden hair and the lilac willow plame, I could hear bis light, peculiar laugh. You would’nt have me yourself Kate, said he; you have only yourself to blame for it. “That's no reason you should throw yourself away,” pouted the lady. She's a desperate old maid, eaid Clar- ence, as old as the hills and twice as an- tiquated. Bat she’s gotthe money. A man io my position has got to look out for mouey, you know, Kate—Wouald you like to see ber photograph 1 And then the two heads were close to- gether for an instant, and the young lady's rippling laugh mingled with Clarence’s mellower tones. The idea of carrying snch a thing next to your heart! said she. - Tt does seem rather outrageous, don't it? said he. But when we are married, all that sort of thing will be over. I'll see that she finds her level. Yes, when ! thoaght I, now thoroughly disenchanted. And I got up and barried out of the restaurant, nearly ecambling over a tray, a dish of oysters and cup of coffee. oT —I've changed my mind,” laid I, flinging a sovereign toward bim. Never mind those oysters.” I took the next train to C —, and wrote a stratcbing note to Clarence the same evening. Do you want to know what was in it / Of course like all women’s letters, the best part of it was in the postscript. “Our engagement is at an end.” H. d. “P,S.—The next time you examine ladies’ photographe in a crowded restaur- ant, it might be well to examine your neighbors.” Clerance bad some sence after all. He never came near me with useless apologies. I gave the wedding dress to little Dorathy Miller, who was to be married ia October, and conldw’t afford a troussean. I suppose I shall wear out the blue and the peach color and the maroon in times. Oh, I forgot to say that Mrs. Bichford was very angry. .

This case, which has been litigated for about nine years, and which has attracted considerable attention from the public, was brought to trial the second week of our Superior Court. The case had beén previously tried in the county of Davidson, but the jury failing to agree, a mie- trial was ordered, and the case removed, upon the affidavit of the plaintiff, to Rowan county. A large number of witnesses were examined on each side, and three days consumed in the in- vestigation and trial of the case. The testimo- ny developed the fact, that the Store House of the plaintiff, which was then occupied by the defendants, as merchants, caught fire from the Court House,.and its proximity to the latter building, rendered al! effurts to save. it fruitless and unavailing. During. the progress of the cause both Penry, the plaintiff, and Brink, one of the defendants, were placed upon the witness stand, and proved themselves gentlemen of unexceptionable char- acter, Besides the matter of dollars and cents involved in the controversy, the character of the defendants was at issue, as one of the alle- gations of the plaintiff was, that the defendants, being insured to a large amount, had malicious- ly set fire to the Store House inthe hope of gain. ‘The Jury after the charge of his Honor, retired but for a few minutes, and returned a verdict for the defendants, thereby vindicating their eharacters and exonerating them from all blame in the premises. There was a distin- guished array of legal talent on either side, the plaintiff being represented by J. M. Clemment, Esq., F. C, Robbins, Esq., and our worthy Rep- resentatiye in Congress, the Hon. W. M. Rob- bins; and the defendants, by the Hon. J. M. Leach, Hon. Burton Craige, and Wm. H. Bai- ley, J. M. McCorkle, and Luke Blackmer, Esq. It is not often that we see so many gentlemen of the bar, who have hitherto occupied promi- nent public positions, engaged in the trial of the game cause. —- -—-——~—>-_- _ ——_—_ N.C. AND VA. RAILROAD. It will be seen that this project, for which there is a charter and large aub- scription made under it, has friends who are.wakivg up to the importance of resu- ming the work and pushing it to comple- tion, We are glad of this: much valuable time has been lost, bat it is never too late to do well. The ouly way by which commanities can retain their relative position in this trading, trafficing world, is to keep even with their ncighbors in the facilities for carrying on their business. Before the introduction of railroads all were on a dead level; and in order to keep up the; level all will have to build railroads, or find out some other as good means to restore the equilibrium. Oiberwise, grand centers will be established bere and there to which wealth and eapital will constantly tend, to tbe gradual impoverishment of it on a sh» laggard sections.

Tacidentaly every other class of citizens in such commani- ties are reached, and must pay their respective shares of the disadvantage. Hence, it is idle to talk about one part of the community being benefited by Rail roads and another not. The relation of classes or parta is intimate and dependent one on the other, and what affects one necesearily affects all. The responsibility of each and all ia also equal and shoald be met with cheerful coufidence. ——— ———_ -@-- THE YADKIN RAIL ROAD. Shall Rowan County sabscribe $100,- 000, to this road?) «This is the question that mast be decided on the 1st ‘Thars- day in Anguat next. ‘There is a divicion of pablic opinion as to how it ought to be decided. however, admire the importance if not the necessity for this Road, but many doubt the propriety of the County making a subscription to it, while very many think it is just what the Connty ought to do. To enable us to decide intelligently the question as above asked, we muat know the facts and figures, the advantages that are to accure to the County from having tbis road, whether the road can be built by the County subscribing one handred thousand dollars, and whether tbe County ie able to subscribe that amount. Some few of the opponents scem to think the County is not able. They say the Coun- ty bas no credit as the County bonds would not bring more than thirty cents ou the dollar. We are satisfied that the County doea uot think so. Rowan isa large and arich County, withan indebted- ness of only about seven thousand dol- lars, She is not an insolvent, a bank- rapt, having no credit, and we have no hesitation in saying that those who say the bonds will not bring more than thirty cents on the dollar would jump at the chance to buy bonds at those figures, issued under a epecial act of the Legisla- ture providing for the annual payment of the interest, and the payment of the bonds themselves as they become due. We as- sert that the bonds will bring ninety cents on the dollar. They will be the next best security to United States bounds. When those who have money learn that these bonds are protected by a special act of the Legislature, rendering them perfectly good and secure, and the interest payable annually, they will seek to in- veat in these bonds rather than make de- posits in the banks or loan their money on mortgage, Can the Road be built by the County subseribing 1 Wesay itean. By refer- ence to the special act it will be seem that these bonds are notto be issued till three hundred aud fifty thonsand dollars have been subseribed, for we already have one hundred thousand subscribed Stanly oust subscribe fifty thousand and then we are to raise one hundred thous. and besides. So that with the Rowan subecription we will have and must have three hundred and fifty thousand dollars aubecribed before our bonds are to be is- sued atall. With this amount we can grade the road. It is ouly fifty six miles and the engineer’s est:mate is three han- dred and ten thousand dollars. But somebody says it will take two millions dollars! We admit that we cannot go these figures. That some-body is only mietaken, if he thinks it. When the road is graded the super- structure and rolling etock can be put on by mortgaging the road-bed on long time. We have briefly stated the plan by which we propose to build the road. We will give at another time some of the advan tages that are to be derived from this road. We want the County to be well acquainted with the movement before it votes, believing that it will only bave to be well acquainted to insure the enter- prise success.

Yet that journal mast admit that -with- out restrictions imposed, the Couventiou could not have been called, and we know that the Watchman was too etrongly | wedded ta the idea of the call of a Con~|™ ventiou ta abandon it to maiutain an ab- stract notion of nght. <A legistatare may not biud a Convention without the con- sent of the people, It would be the work of an agent resiraining and controling the principal; of the aervant bindiug bis mas- ter. Bat the Watchman will remember that a Convention was not called hastily. Ic was.the work of long deliberations both in the Legislative Halla, and with the people, and before the question came up tor decisive action, every member of the Legislature who voted tor the bill may have cousidered himself specially and imperatively instructed to vore for each aud every regtriction imposed.

The position taken in the above article frouthe News is a strange one. The admiesion that a legislature may not bind a Convention without the conscut of the people, is about equal to saying that it cau not bind a Convention at all; but the News, although it may believe this, is not willing to tell the people so, It mat- ters not what inetructions the Legislature may have bad from the people before tbe Convention was called, they could not strengthen a power that did nat exist, namely; the power of one legislative body to bind a subsequent one. We deny that the people gave the leg- islatare any instructions with respect to the so-called restrictions; for the reason that the only way such instructions can be made valid or binding is the ratifica- tion by the people of a bill embracing said instractions or restrictions. If the legislature, after calling a Convention, had submitted a bill embracing the restric tions to the people for their ratificaiion or rejection, then the restrictions would be valid or not according as it was ratificd arrejected. ‘Phe bill calling the Couve.- tion is not submitted to the people for av expression of their judgment. ‘Mhey are not asked to give an opinion upon the subject. They are merely told that they may fill a Convention with delegates pro- vided said delegates will swear away ali independent actiona, refuse to be invested with sovereign powers, reeolve to ignore the wishes or sovereign capacity of the people, and iu short, to assemble not as the representatives of the sovercign peo- ple, but as the mere tools of a legislature which'has made, instituted, and provided, in defiance of all law, oatha, rules, regu- lations, and restrictions for the acceptance, government, and guidance of said dele- gates, We were anxious for a Convention; we have been an advocate of the measure ever since 1868, the time when the Canby Constitution was forced upon ue; but we never would have voted tor the so-called restrictions, notwithstanding we regarded them as utterly worthless, without force and effect. The thing was too cheap, too absurd, and we will not vote fora man who will endorse them if we know it. NEW ADVERT ISEMENTS. Administrator's Notice to Creditors.

XENOPHEN. —_-- po THE SECOND TORNADO'S TRACK. . Vast Destruction—Trees and Houses Along on the [esistless Wing of the Storm—Loss of Life. The storm of last Saturday some account of which has been given in these columns seems to have been equally as destructive as that which devastated many portions of Georgia and Carolina on the 20th of last March. The storm was attended with the most disastrous results, involving great loss of life and proper- ty and the almost total destruction of the young crops. It seems to have entered Georgia in Harris county, seyeral miles north of the point where the one last March crossed the Chatta- hooche from Alabama. It then swept with des- olation and ruin through Merriwether, Upeon, Henry Butts, Newton, Morgan; Greene, Ox- lethorpe, Wilkes and Lincoln, and then croes- ing the Savannah, entered South Carolina, and passed over Edgefield, Lexington, Barnwell and Richland counties. The following details are gathered from Au- gusta papers : A correspondent of the Chronicle and Senti- nel writing froin Oxlethorpe county, says: A destrnetive tornado passed through t is part of our conmy and Greene county, yest r- day atiernoon, between twoand three o'clock, destroving life and property to « fearful extent, Serrcely a house remains in its course. Fenees were Diowu tn every direction, and the forest completciy destroyed, Two men were killed, and two mortally and over thirty persons ser- Vionsly wounded, ‘The tornado crossed the Oconee River one Its course was from southwest to sctitheast. It destroyed every house on Poullain’s place. near where it crossed the Oconee River. We appeal to those who cnn spare to held us. In the fork of Apalachee and Ovonee Rivers Mir.

The first plantation strack in Edgefield was that of S. N. Nicholson, near the meeting street postofice. The residence and other houses were demolished. The next, and in that neighborhood, was the house of Mr. McGee, who wae badly wounded and his plan- tation ruined. From thence it rolled into Lexington and Richland, dealing death and devastation on every hand. . At present it is impossible to make an ace'- rate eatimate of the damage dune by this fear- ful visitant, but enough is known to render it certain that it will reach hundeeds of thousands of dollars, a loss which will at this time ser- ionsly embarrass the farmers «pon whose shoulders it falls.

F. Harden's children were seriously hurt. Mra. E. M. Melton was badly injured by broken rafters. On the west aide of the eougty the appearance of the cyclone ia de- scribed ae that of FLAMING FIRE, , for five or ten feet from the ground, while high- er up it lowered black as midnight. Six miles west of Covington, Capt. G. M. Cunningham suffered the total loss of his mansion and its contents, His wife and four children, in the building at thetime it fell, escaped unhurt Cats, chickens and guineas were killed on the place by the furious blasts. A hoard from the wheat house was found three miles from ita point of departure im a reverse direction to the course of the storm, and letters were blown seven miles to Covington, which were picked up,and returned to Capt. Cunningham. Bedding wax lodged in tree tops half a mile away, and a heavy twelve inch timber plate, sixty foot long, was lifted toan adjoining plantation. A negro named Andrew Tillman, in an outhouse, waa struck on the forehead over the left eye by a descending rafter, the skull fractured, and several pieces of bone driven into the brain. The negro is doing well. At Aleovy River the cyclone seems to have SPRUNG UP TOWARDS THE HEAVENS, leaping along, as it were, far above the tree tops, which were wrung and twisted as it rush- ed over them, and did not descend to the im- mediate aurface of the earth until it was nearing the village of Rutledge. This is a place in Morgan county, of some sixty houses, including its irmmediate environs, and is ‘the lying-over station for trains on the Georgia Railroad. Approaching from the southwest, the cyclone was first observed while the up-pas- senger train was at the station on schedule time of 2:37 P.M. Its) dark and ominous outtines were seen creening up above the distant horizon visibly, Jike an overreaching, —protentioue shadow, over the zreen treetops. Suddenly the far-off rumbling increased to a threatening rear, and the hurricane, as if just catching kignt of THE D)OMED VILLAGE, mounted high into the air, and for a brief while there poised itself, apparently (o aurvey more-completely, and with a burning glance, the prey it was rushing to destroy. © Corrusca- tions played athwart the black visage of the fierce tempest. At thia moment, however, it seemed to have divided itself, and the village in thig manner escaped total destruction. In the suburbs, however, houses, trees and fences were levelled to the grouud. . At Bardstown several persons were killed and many more wounded. At Waynesboro one woman was killed and not a tree, fence, vin house or eotton screw left standing. At Weert Point several houses were blown down and several persons injured. The residence of Mr. John Steap, near Rut- ledge, Ga., was, Jifted up by the wind, carried a distance of twenty-five yards and set down again. Mr. Steap who was standing in his front door at the time, was uninjured. He said that his heuae felt exactly as if it was gliding over a pand of water, and that he felt no shock when it was put down on the earth again. The door in which he was stendiag was on the south side, the djrection from which the storm came. The wind seemed to enter through the open door. fill the building as gas inflates a bal- loon, and thus lift and carry it off. All the fencer, vutbuildings, stables and nearly all the trees of this place were blown down, The for- nado was accompanied by a tremendous storm of rain and hail. Such a fall of rain has not been witnessed in that section for many years.

Therefore do nut grumble, but conquer your troubles. i The Springfield Journal is very certain that no Republican in the State of Illinois would listen fora moment to such folly as a third term for any President, “unless it be some gentleman whose common sense and patriotism have been eclipsed by a.small office which he feels that he ie unworthy to fill, and which he cannot retain upon a change of administration.” “Saéh a specimen of the genus homo ae this,” it adds, “represents no one, con- trola mo one, and is not to be taken into any account in casting the political horo. scope of the country. The man does not live who-will fill the position of President of the United States for three terms.” : Centennials are stirring up patriotic memoriee. The Wilmington Journal callg'up the resistence of the people of the Cape Fear, in 1765, to the landing of stamped paper from the British Sloop of war, Diligeuce, not only resiating the landing ot the stamps, but seizing the boat of the sloop and mounting it on wheels, carrying it in triumph, with flags flying throngh the etreeta of Wilmington, and the next day the people, headed by Uol. John Ashe, of New Hanover, and Col. Hagh Waddell, of Brunswick, march- ing to the Governor's palace, and demand- ing that he desist from farther attemp's to lapd the stamps, to which demand he onlyofielaed when the patriots proceeded to burn the honse over his head.

A cigar aud a betel leaf, prepared with the areca rut, are next put into the hande of the bride and bridegroom. One of the priests then waves two fowls over the heads of the couple, and in a long address to the Supreme Being calls down bleseings npon the pair, and implores that peace and happiness may attend the anion.— After the heads of the affianced have been knocked against each other three or four times, the bridegroom puta the prepared leaf and cigar into the mouth of the bride, while she does the same to him, whom she thas acknowledges as ber buss band. me So NaturaL.—An American lately in London, who was badgered by the En- glish on almost every topic, at last, as he said, determined to goin on the Miseis- sippi steamboat style, and brag down everything that came in bis way. His firet chance occured at an exhibition of painting, where a picture of a snow-storm attracted general admiration. ‘Is not that fine?’ asked aJohn Bull; ‘could you show anything as natural as that in America?’ ‘Pooh! answered the free born Ameri- can; ‘ibatisno comparison to a snow- storm picture painted by a cousin of mine, a few years since; that painting was 80 natural, gir, hata mother, who incautious- ly Jeft her babe sleeping in a cradle near it, oa returning tothe room, found her child frozen to death!" From that time ouward, the American was let alone. ~<a ————_ THE BUFFALO GNAT IN ALA- BAMA. The Eufaula Times says a gentleman who is cultivating a piece of land about seven iniles from that city, in one of the Cowikee bottoms, assures them of the presenee there, of the genuine buffalo gnat, which is now killing 80 many borses and mules in the Mississippi bottom land. Te says that he and his neighbors are com- pelled tu give their horees and mules the clasest attention, by keeping the ears, flanks and other parts of the animal well coated with tar and grease, and they also keep fires burning in their etoek lots at night. He attributes the presence of the unusual number of the dangerous insect, to the great amount of wet weather bad this geaxon. The Mississippi buffalo gnat is about half the size of acommon honse fly and jet black. They have abump_ back, or sboulder, like the buffalo, and hence their name. Those inine Cowikee bottom are about half the eize of those in the Miasis- sippi river bottoms, but are identical in shape and color. Burn Kerosens the Right Way.

The gas which ehonld be cousumed by the Hames is by this means left heavily in the air, while the cost of the oii thus saved at present prices woald scarce be one dol- lar a year forthe lamps of a household.— His attention was called particularly to this custom by boarding in the country where kerosene was the only available light. A large family of childr. living in the same house were taken ill one night, and on going to the wnrsery the roother found the room oearly suffocating, with a lamp turned down, whereupon the physician forbade the use of a lamp at night, unless turned at full head. He says he could quote many cases, one of a young girl subject to fits of faintness, which if not induced were greatly increas- ed by sleeping in a room with the lamp almost turued out.

The Jonrral of Chemistry in an artiele on the effects of fine flour says : Ac the present time it is the practice to a large extent among willera to grind the finest, soundest wheat into fine flour, and the poorest into what is called ‘Graham Hour.’ The term ‘Graham flour’ ought no louger to te used. It is a kind of gener- al name given to mixtnres of bran and rpoiled flour, te a large extent unfit for human food. What we need isa good, sweet, wheat flour, fiiely ground, and securely pnt up for family use. This article we do not tind in the mark et and the Western miller who will give his earnest attemion to furnishing such flour will realize a fortune speedily. The brown loaf made from whole wheat is to our eye as handsome as the white. It can be made with all the excellencies of white, so far as lightness is concerned, and it is sweeter and more palatable. With this loaf we secure all the important nutritive principles which the Creator, for wise reaso..8, has stored in wheat. ——___~- The Size of Adam. -We learn froma recent book that Adam (whom many of our readers will doubtless remember as the first wan) waar, accor: ding to the rabbinical tradition, one bun dred miles high. If this is really true, every one of us ought to be thankful that the race has dwindled since Adam's day. [tis appalling to think of the inconven- ience and expense to which we should be aubjected if we retained Adam’s dimen- sious. A man would require, we should judge, trowsers fifty miles long, and about four bundred furlongs of suependers.— And if we were to preserve the proper proportions in our dress, we should each require about sixty thousand cubic feet of hat. When a emall family of such meu died, they would occupy the entire State ot Penusylvania a3 a cemetery ; and the way the undertaker would aceumulate charges forcotins would be simply fright ful. So itis better as itis. Adam did very well while he was alone in the world; but just at present a wan of his inches, who lived in Philadelphia, could hardly sit down without mashing Lancaster out of existence. ——-—~-a-——_—_ The Costly President. Such a man as Grant, with bia dictator airs and sullen disregard of every princi- ple and practice of Republicanism, 1s “dear,” at any price. The old salary of $25,000 would be tuo much to pay him.— Bat when we reckon up the dimes and dollars he coats the country (ihe loss by business derangements, depression and uncertainty uo inau can esiimate, by no arithmetic is caleulable), we are appalled and stand aghast at the patience of the people. Truly ours is a long-suffering aud Moses-mceck, or else a passing atuical people, when figures like theae do not raise each particular bair on the head of each particular tax-payer. These figures are a list of the personal expenses of the occupants of the White House which were voted by Congres or allowed by law in 1874.

The old gentleman said it was good enough for him -aud the old wamwan, and he would not have it fixed; but it wae insisted upon, and he finally agreed ta keep the tinkerer, and bie horee all night iu recompense for the necessary repairs to the old house clock, ‘The clock proved to need more repaira than was first expected, and in addition to the night’s lodging, seventy-five cents was demanded. .The old gentleman ob- jected to this, and began to count up what he had already given his lodger: ‘Firat, there was your supper—’ ‘But step,’ said the tinkerer, ‘you asked me to eat supper, and consequently can’t charge me for that.” ‘Well,’ said the old gentleman ; ‘you asked me to let you. fix myj clock, ensequenily you can't ebarge me for tha’, Sn we are eqyare on. the supper and clock, and yoo owe me your Judg~ ing and breakfast’ .

Catchi ng a Cannon Ball A very singular exhibition” was ‘given yesterday at the Jardin Mabile. , There has been performing here at the Folies Bergerés, @ man named Holtam, an Amer: ican, who has a cannon ball in bis bands. This prodigions feat was witnessed oight- ly, and ajthough the actors present avowed that there was no trick, Pierre Vernon, of the Mond IUustre, would not believe it. ‘He said the cannon ball must be thrown to Haltom from the stage. The latter made a bet of 5,000, francs that he would perform the feat under con- ditions whieh kcft no room to doubt, and when the bet was taken, Vernon desigua~ ted Mabile as the place for the trial. All the joarnalists of Paris were invited, and they found Holtum there before bia can. non. It was examined with minate care, and the beavy ball wae passed from hand to hand. “I am no longer in my own house,” said Holtum ; ‘‘you are master here, and you mast watch over all the arrangements.” Having carefully aimed. and lavhed his cannon, it was charged, aud Holtum took his place agaivet a plank target some ten yards away. ‘bie was to show that the ball was solid, and the A * be force of the powder great enongh t» send jt throngh the plank. Holtum got the aim of his gun, and then placed his head in a certain position against the plank, giving the command to fire. The ball just grazed the hair and broke through the plank, rolling some twenty yards further on. The same ball was picked up by the journalists, who again charged the cannon and sent vome the ball and this time Hol- ium caught the, ball in bis hands as neats ly as he does nightly upon the stage. He wou his bet, and no one seemed ciaposed to accept his offer of 3,000 frances to any one who would perform the same astound ing feat. The physical force required must be enormous, bat Holtum showed his atreagth by tossing up cannon ball- as if they were so many oranges. ‘I he only precautions taken are very simple ; he wears very thick leather glovea, and covers his breast with many thickness of thin paper to form a sort of cuirasa. ‘This looks to me like a very dangerous feat, and particnlaly the first part of it, where Holtum places his head against the tar- get balf an inch below where the ball will probably strike, —If the powder should chance to be defective, rome day there might be an accident. It is like the foolhardy trick of putting one’s head into ation’s mouth, One day I fancy that ball will snap bis head very neatly off.— Paris Letter. — Protection From Lightning. Does protection protect ? is often asked by the man witha lightuing rod on his house as well as by the student of politi- cal philosophy. “Phe conutry roads are drying, and the lightening-10d man will | soon be along. We may as well prepure ourselves fur the discussion of his ques- tone, That the electric ‘fluid’ can be carried aloug a wire even a child iu theee days knows, but however much more there may be in electre scieuce lithe hae found its way to the lightening-rod man. Wheth- er the rod attvacts beyoud ten or twenty feet is still a question, and what the rod is tu do with it after it gets it is open to some doubt. : The writer of thishad ar:d put upou a dwelling many years age, avd with fall faith in the protection, during a storm he had his floor ripped up and himselt and friends —ladics and gentleman — toss- ed about in the most inconsiderate manner by the electric visitor. It came down the rod to about eix feet of the ground, when it coneluded to leave the rod, bore a bole through a twenty-inch stone wall, and pay its unwelcome respecte to the party inside. The rod was not put up by a botcb; the employer and the employed understood the businese. Still we were told the defect must be in the rod or in the manner of ita consiruction, This is a common way of accounting for things. Some years ago there was a discuasion going on in the papers in which one side asserted that no member of a certain religious denomination had ever beeu con- vieted of crime. Alag! in the heights of the controversy One committed murder, but the eide did not lose heart, but cons tended that the person had ceased to be a member of that body from the moment he had thoughts of committing the crime And it is just in this way the lighteniag- rod men defeat us. We must get reason- ing of our own. One fact ie, we think undoubted, that as many buildings are injured by lighten- ing that have rods as have not. Certainly we have known barnes with their valuable contents to be destroyed that were well protected by conductors. Weare asked in there cases, “Did the couduetors ter- ‘oli: a. ontral .: Rai nt Ae .

As he re- leased her, a bracelet caught in bis button and broke. The little charms—croes heart and anchor—that were attached to it separated, the eross atill hanging to the batton, the others falling at Caroline’s feet. With a frightened look she pointed to the bru ken trinket and said: ‘O, Edgar, this is an omen of coming evil, I know. Yoor gift thus broken, and at such a time?’ ‘Nonsense! At your feet behold my heart and hope: and upon my bosom lies our faith. Here, put a piece of ribbon or something in thi3 little cross, and I will wear it until we meet again.’ ‘When shall that be?’ asked Caroline, in a mournful voice. ‘Still supersticious?’ Edgar said. ‘I feel a presentiment, Edgar, that yeare will pass before we meet again, if ever. But here, take thie cross; I will have faith. Sce, I have wrapped around ita piece of my hair. Now, whatever the future may bring, and wherever you may be send this to me and I will come,’ Caroline aaid, her voice fall of mournful tenderuesa, ‘O, Carol, pray do not talk so. —You impre-e# ome with ‘your gloom.—Come, cheer ap, a down, too, that you are afraid to rust me in the ecnstant society of Miss Eiving; bat you need hive no fears about her.

Aud when he again pressed her (o bis beart, io his final farewell, and left her, alie felt then as if it were forever. Before two years had paseed there came a great financial crisis, in which many of the wealihiest fell-Caroline Ainsworths fa- ther among the first. — When poverty was threatening, not for berself did ghe trem- ble, but for those dear on2a, then aged, and ili able to bear either the shock or its results. — Then Edgar’s words came back to her Shebhad a fortune in her voice. Cheerfully, hopefully, she weutto work. And then how eagerly she watched for the coming of Edgar's letter of sympathy, 6 couragement-——aye, that, most of all, whie) sbould eustaia her, bis words of love. The letter came.

A year spentiu study in Traly, and winning escouragewenta from the beat masiers, and then totry her power, Sae- ceea followed, and fame crowned her with laurels, She was ackuowledged the pri- ma donna of the age, “Peach her to love, and then her’s will be music divine, Power, passion, pathos —she has all; bat they had been acquired from great wasters. - ‘The wanting power must be of herself, from her own svul,” said the old connigseure. Seven yeare had winged their flight since she had parted from Edgar Mans- field. She had heard aothing of him since aboat six months after her receipt of his Jetter. Then she was told that he was eoming home to merry ee Erving, But to continue. e now fiud her in Paris crowned with triumph. After a oight of even more than usual eelat, she sat the next day surrounded with the to~ kene of her listeners’ appreciation. Flow ers rare and beaatiful, jewels costly and antique, all around her. She pushed them impatiently aside, and her head sank into her hands. Her thoughts flew back to the time when she sang simple ballads, and watched for the words and look of admiration from one with more eagerness, and hailed its coming with more real gratification than ever since she had from the crowned heads and nobles of the land. ‘How I kept thinking lest night of the Welcome Greeting!’ My heart seemed vw 5 lo ENCOUEN@E ‘it since that night. filled witb that. _ I have not thought of 1 think if I bad sung it there might have been found the wan~ ting tone. They say I am cold—there is no love in my voice. Cold! Ob! can they not think there is a coldnees more icy than that of unknown love? ’Tis 80 iey cold.’ Thus Caroline Ainsworth communed with herself in the splendid boudoir of her suite of apartments. Going to a jewel casket, she unlocked it, aud drew forth the little golden heart ‘and anchor. ‘Strange! strange, that I should felt the coming of this perfidy. I knew that night it would be so. I wonder where the companion of these is?’ she murmured. ‘What do I eare for this life of continual excitement, thie admirazion of the millions ? Nothing —notbiue. All, all are gone now for whom I cared to be great. —Edgar, worse than dead. Woald that I could think of him watebing and’ waiting for my coming in the land where angels ging.

As Caroline’s eye detected that, she opeued with an appear- ance of m re interest the sealed paper, and the little golden cross, wrapped with her own bair, was in her hand. ‘Your promise! Do you remember ?1— The meseenger will direct you,’ was writ- ten tremulously and irregularly ; but she knew his hand had penned the lines. ‘Bring the bearer to me immediately, Jean, aud order my carriage. I shall be ready iy fifteen minutes. Tell me, my good woman—the geutleman—is he ill ? The woman could understand but little English ; and Caroline, 1epeating ber in- quiry in French, learned that the woman had been sent by a gentleman who was ill, perhaps dying. Bidding the womau come with her, and direct the driver, Car oline entered the carriage. After a balf an bour’s drive, the carriage stopped be- fore a lodging house inthe Rue de Rivoli, The woraan preceded Caroline in, and up a long flight of stairs, uutil they reached a door, opening which cautiously, ehe stepped iu an instant, Returning, she whispered + ‘Come in!’ He was sleeping—the miserable wreteh of the once handsome Edgar Mansfield.

All the cruel past wae forgiven. tlow could she feel resent- ment towards him lying so stricken before her ? ‘The eagerneas of her watching, the in- tense gaze must have aroused the sleeper. He slowly opened his eyes and met hers. ‘Ever trae,’ he murmured —‘to your promise,’ he added, in 4 voice so low that Carvline had to stoop very near to catch the words. The effect of the speaking seemed to exhaust him. Looking into his eyes, still so beautifally bright, raised to her’s with a look eo eager, so appealing, Caroline’s own grew dim, and tears fel! unrestrained ou the wasted hand she clasped in her's The woman drew near, and holding toward him a glase of wine, eaid that it would wake him stronger, Caroline gently raieed his head as the women held it to his lips.

Where is he whose gentle hand should minister bere ?’ He had gained somelittle strength, and ! when she drew near aud seated herselt, he said; ‘I would not have eentfor you if {had been equal with you in any way.

He seemed to grow mueh stronger and incliued to talk. Seeing this, ‘How ig it you are here alone in Paris? Where are your frienda— your ’ wife she would have gaid, but the word died on her Jips.

She knew then her place bad never been given to another. rm Could ‘the ‘admiring hundrens, who gazed on her the, night bétore, have seen her then, they would have tound all that they thought wanting, The look, the tond, the teéling that #0 many sought in vain was there. Sbebent over and whis. pered to the sufferer: ‘Edgar, will you live ?” A new light flashed in his eyes, and gaztig eagerly at her, he whispered : “Live! for what 7’ “Look into my eyes, Edgar, and see,’ she marmured, a beautiful flush tinging her fair face. He could not mistake, for plainly her eyes answered his cry “Live for you and me,’ they said. “No; no; you cannot mean it. You so high and I so crushed. You shall not steop so low, my queen. Even in my dreams I am not go wild.’ “Edgar, I only steop to lay my heart for you to raise it to light and life Look back. ‘See me not as the multitude, their favorite for the time ; see only the simply loving girl of the past.

When next she gsang all ber hearers acknowledge the newly gained power there was ao longer a wauiag tone. A few wecks atter, all Paria was surprised, and many of ber noble sous indignant that there ‘Queen of Song’ should have wedded a man eatirely unkuown to the world. But what eared she? He was more than all the world to her, ae A REMARKABLE DREAM. . _o-- CG Conrad, the Ewperor of Germany, was remarkable for hie anspairing punishment of all who crossed his purpose. A quaint but true legend recites that a certain Coant Lupold, who was one of those fearing death, fled into the remote forest aud lived in a hut ewith his wife. It happened that the Emperor, while hunting, eame to the spot and passed the bight with them. ‘Thatnight the Connt’s wife vecame the mother of a ben, and the Emperor dreamed thac the chAd then born would be his heir, As the same dream recurred thrice he was greatly troubled, and the next” morning he com- manded two of his servanta to kil the child. Phey took it away; tut, being moved to compassion by its similes, they placed it under a tree, and brought) back a hare’s heart to the KE uperor. . Acertain duke pissed by soon after, fouud the ehild, aud took it home to his wife, and adopied it aa his own. Aft-ra waids the Emperor being with the duke, ard bearing bim relate, as a forest adven- ture, the history of this boy, who was then present, began to suspect that the victim bad eseaped. Being confirmed in this opinion, be took hii into bis service as page, and then seat tim with a letter to the Empress, in which be ecbarged her, upon pain ot his displeaesare, to have the prisoner pat to death, The youth set out, and after traveling sevea days came to a certain priest's house, who received him with great hoepitality. ‘The priest was etruck with his comely air, and by his traveling sv far. While be slept he looked at bis letter and discovered the horrible fate that awaited him, so, erasing the wriiog he substituted for it the fol- lowing words: “This is the youth whom J have cho- set, as the busband of our daughter.

On arriving at Aixla- Chapell, he delivered his letter, and so well did the stratagem succeeded that the Emperor wrote soon after to ask if his orders had been obeyed; the Empress assured him that the nuptials had been celebrated with great celerity as he bad desired.

(Signed) WM. P. PAKKS, M. D. Roxboro, N. C. January 8th, ’70. Thisis to certify that, from knowledge of the frequent ure and the benefic of Dr. J. F. Foard’s Eupeptic Spring, to myself and others, whether the water be immediately taken from the Spring or kept at home, hesitate not to recommend it as truly worthy the name it bears. In the suin- mer of 1868, my wife, who was suffering from nervous prostration, and of whose life I had, for a long time, well nigh dispaired, was decidedly benefitted by spending a few weeks at this Spring, being as she thinks, permanently relieved ofa weakness of the breast, with which she had been for many hens afflicted. : Under 30 much objigation to this Spring, . would be highly gratified to know that it is meeting with that patronage which it so well deserves. (Signed) M. C. THOMAS, Member of the N. C. Conference, M. E. Church South. By, the advice of physicians and gther friends, I was induced « bring my family, in July last, to the Eupeptic Springs, where they have remained until the present with very great advantage, and such is my estimation of the waters, (for there are geveral Springs) that I have no hesitancy in recommending them to persons whose diseases are such as not mentioned in Dr. Forad’s ‘printed circular. In facts, during this season I know several persons cured of chills long stand- jng in less than a month, and conversed with many others who were relieved of the chills and other diseases, or whose friends wére benefitted by coming here. The case of the wife of Rev. ¥. N. Gwyn, who returned here this season, to be perfectly restored, ia a wonder to all who knew her eighteen months ago. (Signed) REV. R. A. MOORE, Ag’t A M Society in Western North Carolina, This is to certify that some months ago my wife was found to be laboring uhder a complica- tion of diseases. At the suggestion of two of our best physicians, who thonght her incurable, I took her to the above named Springs. She waa relieved of general dropsy, and her health great- ly improved otherwise. From my knowledge of these waters, I believe there 1s no better in our country, (Bigned) ENOCH N. GWYN, Minister in the Baptist Church in N. C, I have lived for thirty-two years within two miles of the Springs now owned by Dr, Foard— During that time I have known cures effected of different: diseases by the internal and ex- ternal use of said water, and by applying the mud from one of the Springs to the hands of a man who had Tetter se badly that he could not labor, the disease very soon disappeared. : ; > Leassura, N C,, February 13, '71. Whilst traveling the Iredell Circuit of North Carolina Conference, M. E. Church South, in 1870, my-little son about six years of age, was very suddenly and strangely attacked with dropsy, which had well nigh resulted fatally. By advice of the attending physician I waa in- duced to take him to the Eapeptic Springs, and try the virtues of the water im connection with the medicine given. The‘result was most happy. He began to improve forthwith, and was soon prononnced well. His restoration waa as permanent as it was speedy, and his health better since, than for a year prior to this attack. Form my knowledge of the water, and my acquain- tance with the persons who have testified of its character in the circular of Dr. Foard, | have no hesttation in subscribing to what is-therein claimed for it. (Signed) J. W. WHEELER, Sratesvjiur, N.C., February 24;’72 Dr. Joun F.

There isa broad worn bearth —broad enough for three generations to cluster on—worn by feet that have been torn and bleeding by the way, or been made “beautiful,’”’ and walked on floors of tasselated gold. ‘here are tonga in the corner wherewith we grasp a coal, and “blowing for a little life,” lighted our first candle; there is a shovel, wherewith was drawn forth the glowing embers, in which we saw our first fancies and dream- ed our first dreams; the shovel with which we stirred the first logs until the sparks rushed up the chimney as if a forge were in blast below, aud wished we had go many lambs or 0 many marbles, or so many somethings that we coveted, and ao it was that Wished our first wishes. There is a chair—a low rush-bottomed chair; there is a little wheel in the corner, a big wheel in the garret, a loom in the chamber. ‘Phere are chests full of linen and yarn, and quilts of rare patterns and | samples in frames. And everywhere, and old wrinkled face ot her etep the feeble sa ebildren’s children—the old-fustioned | grandmother of twenty years ago. She, tfe very Providence cof the old Homestead ; she, loved us all, and said wizhed | there were more and took all ot the children at the ol’ school-Louse in the bollow tor grandchildren besides. A great eXpansive heart was hers, be- neath that woolen Gown, or that more atatcly bombazine, or that heirloom ot silken texture. We can sce her to-day, those mild blue eyes, With more beauty in them than | time could touch or death could no more } than eyes, that held both smiles and tears within the faintest call of every one of us, and soft reproof that seemed not passion but regret. A white treas has eseaped from beneath her snowy cap. She lengthened the tether of a vine that was straying over a window, | we always, the dear | whose firm elagtie | unt of her | rea Mocas 1 sue of us tu leve, sole hide —those as she came in, and plucked a four-leaved | clover for Ellen. She sits down by the little wheel ; a trees is running through her | fingers from the distaff’s disheveled head, | when a suwall voice cries ‘“Grandma,”’ from the old red cradle, and “Grandma!” shouts ‘Tommy from the top of the stairs. Gently she lets go the thread, for her pa- tience is almost as beautiful as her charity, and she touches the little red bark a mos ment, till the young voyager is iv dream- land again, and then directa Tommy's unavailing efforts to Larness the cat. The tick of the clock runs faint and low, and she opens the mysterious door and proceeds to wind it up. Weare all on tip-toe, and beg in a breath to be lifted up one by one and allowed to look in for the hundredth time upon the tin cases of the Weights, and the poor lonely. pendulum which goes to and fro by its little dim window ; and all our petitions are granted, and we are all litted up and we all touch with the little finger the wonderful weights, and then the music of the wheel ls resumed, for grandmother’s dainty fogers are never idle. Was Mary to be married, or Jane to be Wrapped ina shroud? So sweetly did she wreathe the white rose in the hair of the one that you would not have wonder- ed had more roses budded for company, aod so meekly did she fold the white hands of the otker apon her still bosom that there seemed to be a prayer in them there. How often has she stood between us and harm; how the rudest of us soften ed beneath the gentle pressure of her faded and tremulons hand! From her Capacious porkct that hand. waa ever Withdrawn only to be opened iu our own With the nuts she had gathered, with the eherries she had plucked, the little egg the had foand, the ‘turnover’? she had baked, the trinket she had parchased for sas the product of ker spinning, the blessing sbe had stored for ua—the off- ®priog of her heart. ou past treasures of story fell from those 'ps ; of good faries and evil ; of the old times when she was a girl; but we Wondered it ever—but, then, she couldo’t le andeomer or dearer—she was very eee And then, when we begged her 3 §—"Sing us one of the old songs ee to sing to mother, grandma,”— a oo I can’t sing,” she always sane ; mother used to lay her knitting te ee and the kitten stopped play- ey ‘1 yarn on the floor, and the eats ‘e ower in the corner, and the that is at a a glow, like an old heart pakdcene ier chilled nor dead, and Dot do fox a sang. To be sure it would e parlor and concert room ing notice. } now-a-days, but then it was the old kitch- etYand the old fashioned grandgaother, an@ the old ballad, in the dear ald-times, and we @#iPhardly see to write for the memory Of them, though it is a handb~ breadth to the sunset. Her vioce was feeble and wavering, like a fountain just ready to fail, but then how sweetstoned it was, and it became deeper and stronger, but it could mot grow sweeter. What ey of grief’ it was to sit around the fire, 1 of us except Jane, and we thought we saw her when the door was opened fora momént by the wind, but we were not afraid, for -wag it not in her old smile she wore? And how we wept over the woes of the “Babes in the Wood,” who laid ov side b yas in the great’ solema 8 we, and how glad we felt when rob- in soa tieMlacovered them with leaves, and let-ef.all) when the angel took them out of night to day everlasting. Wemay think what we will of it now, but the song and the.«story heard around the kitchen fire have colored the thonghts aud the actions of most of us ; have given the germs of whatever poetry blesses our hearts—-whatever poetry of memory blooms in our yesterdays. Attribute whatever we may to the school and the schoolmaster, the rays which make that littie day we call life radiate from the God-swept circle of the hearthstone. Then she sang an old lullaby she sang to her, but she does not sing it through, and falters ere its done. She rests ber head upon ber hands, and silence is in the old kitchen. Something glitters down between her fingers, and it looks like rain in the soft firelight. The old grandmother is thinking when she first heard the song, and of the voice that sang it; when a light-hearted girl she played around that mother’s chair, now saw the shadows of the year to come. Oh, the days are no more! What words unsay, what deeds undo, to set back just this once the ancient clock of time! So our little hands were forever clinging to her garments and staying her as if from dying, for long ago she had done living for herself, and lived alone in us. But the old kitchen wants a presence to-day, and the rush-bottomed chair is tenantless. How she used to welcome us when w2 | were grown, and came back once more to the homestead! We thought we were men and women, but we were children there ; the old-fashioned grandmother was blind in her eyes, but she saw that her heart, as one always did, As the sunlight cast down our long ehadows through the open door, she felt them as they fell over her form, and looking up dimly, she said ; ‘Edward I kaow, and Lucy’s voice I can hear, but whose is that other? It must be Jane’s,”’ for she had alinost torgotten the folded hands; “oh, no! not Jaue’s, for ehe—let me see—she is waiting for me, isu’t she?” and the old grandmother wandered and wept. “It is another daughter, grand- mother, that Edward has brought for your blessing,” says some one. “Flas she blue eyes, my son? Put her hand iu mine, for she is my lastest born, the child of my old age. Shall I sing youa song children ? and she is idly fambling for a toy, a welcome gift for the children that have come again. One of us (men as we thought we were) is we ping. She hears the half repressed sobs, and says, as she extends her hand: |‘*Here, my poor child, rest upon your grandmother’s shoulder; she will protect you from harm. Come, children, sit a- round the fire again.—Shall 1. sing you a song or tell youa story? Stir the fire, for it is cold; the nights are growing colder.” The clock in the corner strikes nine, the bed time of the old days. ‘The song of life was indeed sung, the story told. It was bed time at last. Good night, along good night to thee, grandmother. She ig no more, and we miss her forever. But we will set upa tablet in our heart, and write on it only this: ‘Saered to the memory of the Old Fashfoned Grand- mother. God bless her forever. —_——__~--______ NATIONAL HOTEL, Salisbyry May, 19th 1875. Messrs. Epitors:--Permit me through the columns of your paper to stimulate the citizens of Rowan County, and the inhabitants of Salisbury especially, to ac- tion aud earnestness in fostering and aid- ing every enterprize that has a tendency to increase her wealth and extend her in- terest commercially. The General Assembly of North Caro lina at its last session granted a charter to certain citizens of the town of Mocksville to navigate the Big Yadkin River, as we call it, trom the Bridge on the N. C. R. Road to Wilkesboro.’ Now some of these clarter members are men of wealth and forecast, and doubtless have an object in view to increase theit wealth and at the same time afford a meaus of cheap trans~ portation to the inhabitants of the counties of Davie, Davidson, Forsythe, Yadkin, Surry, Stokes, Wilkes, and other counties lying on the waters of the Yadkin River at the head of navigation. And sappose the Richmond and Danville Rail Road should extend the branch from Winston to con- nect with steam Buats flying up and down the Yadkin River, what would be the res ‘sult as to the future fate of Salisbury, a place of historic fame? I mean the place where the indomitable Andrew Jackson learned to solve the law and advocate its principles. Shall the walls of his office be given to the “moles and bats” and suffer to go to decay, without any sign to mark where the hero sat and the states- man dwelt? In colonial times your place was a borough and Charlotte a village, but now how stands the two places? Yours the radius and Charlotte the center. Your place might have been a3 highly favored as yoar rival city, if the mea who governed the mind of their day and generation had only Jooked a little farther ivto the fatyre. Now, the community in} SALISBURY N. C., MAY, 27, Charlotte has five-Rail Roads, from diver- gant points, meeting in her cerporate limita, brigging,wealth aad -pravel with them, aad a continued in¢reasd of business, whielimight’have been “your happy lot, if keen perception and energy had been displayed by your leading citizens, but alas “Othellos occupation is gone,” I fear. But notwithstanding your place is left desolate, and to a considerable extent igolated, yet you have an opportunity offered you to reclaim, at least a portion of your losses, and will you doit? That way, in my opinion, is to open up to your doors the rich valley of the Yadkin River aod its tributaries to the “Blue Ridge,” and by so doing you will redeem in a great measure, what you have lost. In order to accomplish this desire you must aid in congtracting a Rail Road from. your rich and luxariant valléy of the Big Yad- kin River, thereby foiling the plans of your sister and rival town of Wiuston. Will you come forward and aid your daughter, the County of Davie, in accom- plishing this work for your aggrandizes ment and her benefit?) Now gentlemen, we do not intend to distract your mind or alienate the feelings of any of your citi- zens from the cheerished object you now have immediately in view, to wit: The Cheraw and Wadesboro Rail load enter- prize. Your Couuty and city is abun. dantly able to take stock iu each enter- prize and yet pay the burden that may fall upon you by reas6n of these invest- ments. Heretofore your County and Davie have done the talking, now is the time for a vigorous determination on the partof both. Davie County is now in good earnest and intendsto move forward in the work, will you lend a helping hand ? Let action be your watch word and ours of Davie and we will see this project ac- complished withia a short time. “XENOPHEN.” AN ACT To Incorporate the North Carolina and Virginia Rail Road Company.

OT — CAN WE AFFORD IT ANY LON- GER! Will the reader have the goodness in some leisure hours to sit down and think over the Canal frauds, the Credit Mobil, ier, the Jayne and Sauborn business, the Tacific Mail subsidy, the doings of the Indian Rings, and the leprosy recently brought to lightin the Customs service and Internal Revenue office, aad then answer the question at the head of this article ? Itis said that the Treaeury has Jost a miltion by the silk smugglers, and two or three millions by the Whiskey Ring, and that these losses haye accrued within the last twelve or eighteen months. But every one who has watehed the course of things knows that the crizin of corruption dates far back, that the dark abyss has been explored only a little way, and that the loss of the revenue ia to be measured not by willions, but by tens of millions. We look at these events as matters very different from simple losses of money or property. A disastrous fire like that at Chicago or Boston does its work aud the nation soon recovers, but ‘the things we have mentioned are moral conflagratioas. They blacken the good name of our country and threaten to shiv- er the very foundation stones ot our free institutions. They cause foreigners to point the finger of scorn at our Republic, and make the gravest and wisest of our own citizens tremble when they look to- wards the future. Perhaps Mr. Dorman B. Eaton is in the right to treat the abandonment of the ‘Civil Service rules as an event to be de- plored, rather than the explosion of a humbug which never had in it the breath of life, but the fact remains that we bave just had our taxes increased for no other reason in the world than that our Interual Revenue and Custom-house officials have been in league with thieves. It has been said that the whiskey tax is now so high that angels could not collect it, but the absardity of that assertion is §demonstra- ted by the fact that Great Britain for twelve er thirteen years has collected a similar tax on both foreign and domestic liquors more than three times as heavy as our own, without auy auch scandals as those which have been perpetual in our country. The same fact is also a snffi- cient answer to the corresponding excuse for failure to assess the duties on silk, which offer only a slight temptation to the smuggler when compared with the British duty of ten shilings sterling on spirits. ‘The long and short of itis tbat the men whom we appoint to collect the revenues of the Government have for years diagracefully failed to do their work. We have been attempting to carry water in a peach basket, and the least of our losses is the waste of our money. The corruption of our politics is now a poison in the life blood of the nation. We won- der that the times are hard, and that our Government bonds sell lower in the for- eign markets than those of France and Rassia. The wonder would be of more fitting application to the reverse state of business and credit. The people must look to the roots of their politieal tree, and to the soil from iq | accomplis ,| which they spring. The remedy must be lied there and not ta the dead branches, ud withering leaves. Nothing will be "by Genoancing faithless Congressmen and unworthy océupants of high places, if we end there. . So long as a caucus of twenty or thirty political pup pets, not one in ten of whom owns a dgl- ars worth of taxable property, are permit- ed to name the delegates to conventions and do all the political work ofa township of three hundred voters, jast.so long will the distillers, retailers and consumers of whiskey, with occasional assistance from canal contractors and other pland of public money rule the land.’ One Wénest man in a high place is a great force in lities. Governor Tilden and others ike him, who have risen in spite of the cunning and malice of the political spoils- ‘then, are shining examples. A little leaven Heaveneth the Whete tempobeeeke: dun - tity used of late years is plainly not suffciont. If the people would only take the trouble to name the best men for every place of trust, however minate or tempora- ry, we should soon see achange for the better.—WV. Y. Tribune. —___-———————_ Immigration. At a recent meeting of the Stockholders of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, we learn from the Danville News the fol- lowing sensible resolutions were introduc- ed by Maj. W. T. Sutherlin, and passed : W hereas, this company recognizing the duty of eacouraging settlements, increas- ing productions, developing resources and fostering local business along the lines of road under its control, therefore, Resolved, That the President and Direc tors of the Richmond & Danville Compa- ny be authorized to furnish actual settlers coming from beyond the limite of Virgin-~ ia and North Carolina, who may purchase one hundred acres of land, and occupy and cultivate the same within such dian tance of of the line that its products shall be nesessarily tributary thereto, free trans~ portation for themselves and families and employees to the extent of 1,000 miles, good until used, and to transport for such settlers furniture, implements, seeds, ferti- lizers; stock laborers, to the nearest denot upon the line of the road, at half the usa- al tariff rates for the period of one year. 2nd. To enter into contract with per- sons who may erect mills, factories or manafactoring establishments, or open mines on the line of road, by which nec- essary tools, machinery and materials for constraction shall be carried at half-rate and the products of such mines, factories, &c., at such special reduced rates (not unjust towards the other patrons of the road) as will encourage such industries along its line. 3rd. Parties not exceeding three in number, who may establish a colony of not less than twenty families within the limits hereinbefore prescribed, the mem- bers of which shall be drawn from beyond the limits of Virginia and North Carolina, shall be entitled to free travel over the road, in such State as the colony may be located for a period of three years. 6th. Agents at local stations shall be furnished with books and instructions to record theirin the names of land-owners having real estate for sale, with discrip< tion, location, price and terms of payment; which book shall he opened to the inspec. tion of all parties seeking information with a view to purchase, and notice shall be given through the newspapers and by hand-bills posted at each station that such books are open for record and inspection, which on motion, were refered to a com- mittee of five, appointed by the Chairman, viz: E Barksdale, Jr., Thos. Branch, W. T. Satherlin, Dr Thos. D. Stokes and B. F. Garrett. - This committee returned the following report which was unanimously adopted : The committee to whom was referred the resolutions offered by Major Suther- lin beg leave respectfully to report that they have had the same under considera- tion and given to said resolutions that at- teution due to their importance, and are of the opinion that itis a subject worthy of congratulation to the Stockholders of Richmond and Danville Railroad that they should be one of the first to give to the immigrants aid and encouragement. It cannot be questioned that the great want of Virginia is immigration, and your committee think it is the duty and true policy of the leading lines of | roads throughout the State to offer to immigrants every inducement to settle among us and to occupy our waste lands. ‘I'herefore your committee recommend the adoption of said resolutions. This is a very important and proper ted to do mach to enhance the prosperity of the country traversed by the Richmond & Danville Road. The War Club. Rumors of war are thick in the air of Europe. The Czar and Kaiser are hobs nobbing ; the Brittish Parliament and the London Times are waking up to some- thing like life, France is twirling its moustache, and the lesser powers gre trembling in anxiety to hnow by which ogre they are to be gobbled up. As usual on the brink of hostilities, the leaders talk of nothing but peace. Louis Napoleon said “the empire is peace,” while he was arming his cohorts for Sebastopol. Pras sia wanted “peace at any price” while marshaling her legions for Sadowa. In fact it has eome to be a proverb that “we sheald are for war when peace is most advaek". The.war cloud : is believed to have lifted just now, however. action of the stockholders and is calcula- NO. From the Dallas (Texas) ly Herald. ‘.) $QHRIST KILLER.” 2 In this goodly town, not long tince, a little girl of Hebrew parentage, on re- turning home from school, said: ‘Father, what is the meaning of Christ- killer ?’’ “Why do you ask, my daughter ?” said the parent. ‘Because, while one of the girls was angty with:me'to-day, she ealled mea lit- tle Ohriat-killer.”’ It is needless to say to the reader that volumes are embraced in that incident.— It illustrates, in tenes unmistakable, the impudence and injustice of thousands in | thie land of civil and feligious libétty.— It INustrates the blindness of that ignors | ance which fails to realize the true charac: ter and the true history of the Hebrew people. It ignores the lights of history. Omitting all allusion to the grand tenets ef Christianity, in which we are humble but sincere believers, it sinks into the oblivion of prejudiced ignorance, the grand truths of Hebrew history for 1875 years. It fails to grapple with the sublime truth that to the Jewish race, moré than any other source, we are indebted for the pre- servation of history, learning and letters during the centuries of the dark ages that to that race in Spain, through hundreds of yeare, civilization owes its preserva tion, and other countries of Europe debts of gratitude mountain high in the long road from barbarism to’ wealth, elegance and refinement. It spits upon the fact that Jewish beggars and Jewish drunk~ ards are rare as diamonds. It refuses to know that the Jewish poor never, iu any couutry on earth, become a charge to the public. It forgets that for eighteen ban~ dred and seventy-five years the Jews have, with rare exceptions, been a pro- scribed and persecuted race to the ends of the earth, and yet, that to-day they are law givers in the most enlightened, pros- perous and liberal countries of the world. It refuses to acknowledge that the Jews have all this time been the friends of hu- manity, the patrons of learning, of science, of commerce, of liberty. Despite the jibes and flings of anthink ing men, women and children, no Hebrew has any cause to hang his head in shame by a fair comparison with any other rate. “A nation without a country,” they have done as much and are now doing as much, the world over, as any other nation, to break down the battlements of hate, and spread over the world the spirit of peace- ful intércourse and true humgnity. The Americau Mason of to-day may go to any Masonic lodge at the uttermost part of the earth and enter the portals of that great embodiment of benevolence, and there, as a friend and brother, tried and true, he will find the’Jew. Go into the streets seeking alms for the distressed, and the last man to say nay will be the Jew. Those thoughts rushed upon us on bearing the above incident related, and we felt the blush of sorrow tingle ear cheek. It is sad to realize that at this age mere thoughtless prejudice is allowed to sway the judgment of our children in matters so steruly appealing to our eense of jus- tice and our knowledge. How much bet- ter to pluck the beam from their own eyes and leave the mote in the eyes of oth- ers 1 ———~ao——_——_—— DECISION ABOUT THE USE OF REVENUE sTAMPS. From the last edition of the Internal Revenue Record we make the following extracts from Commissioner Douglas’ de» cision concerning the use of Revenue Stamps. He says: “It is uot believed to have been the meaning and intent of Congress to re- quire stamps upon promissory notes made in the usual commercial form and payas ble at a bank, when such notes are given in good faith and in the ordinary course of business. Under a strict interpretation of the law, they might -perbaps be held liable as “vouchers.” It is well known, however, that the leading purpose of the recent en~ actment, with regard to stamping bank checks, vouchers, etc. (section 14, act of February 8th, 1875, was to cut off the frequent evasions of the stamp tax on checks, as for instance, by the use of re-~ ceipts, checks, payable nominally one day after date without grace, etc., ete. Unless the notes referred to are used simply as a substitute for checks as eva- sions of the stamp tax on checks, this Office will not insist upon their being stamped. A receipt which performs the work of a bank check—where a person who has money on deposit with a bank and draws but a portion of it, but instead of draw- ing it out by a check, gives the bank his receipt therefor, which is taken by the bank and held as a voucher, is considered liable to the tax. If a dividend, due a stockholder has been credited to his de- posit account upon the books of a bank, it has become a deposit; and a receipt given for it, or for any portion of it, would, in my opinion, be liable to stamp tax. Checks drawn on their own bank, by bank officers or clerks, for their salaries, should be stamped. Cashiers check iu general, issued or delivered to outside parties for payment, etc., require stamps. Checks drawn by a bank upon itself, for the purpose of paying its own divid- ends, and the dividends, coupons, of in- terest of otheg eorporatious, and issued, should be stamped, 83.---WHOLE.

He also said-that the d tures and property ape ties, was unlawful ; and all parties pw. have suffered or may suffer, can bri suit for damages in the State court, have the matter carried before him far adjudication. As to the Civil Rights bill he said it was simply unnecessary, as all “rights” which any one could be given under the Constitution are already {xed in the statutes of our State. He would Bes pass on the constitutionality of the aw. His charge to the grand jury, as to minor or frivolous cases of mere teaghni~ cal violation, was very opportune. His directions were that all such should be disregarded. Now the docket will be spared the outrage of having upon it so many very small picayunish and .con- temptible petty cases. His Honor made some new rulings which should have been made several years ago, and possibly the lives ofsev~ eral poor meu in Madison would have been spared. One was, that officers of the court should neither arrest nor serve capieses on parties on days of election or at any lawful public gathering. His re- marks upon preserving the purity and freedom of the exercise of the ballot, were very good, and none the less good because late. He removes all U. S. Commisgion- ers in this District, to take effect the firet day of July. Hereafter, if any one wish- es to serve a8 commissioner, he must file a petition with him signed by five of the best citizens of the county wherein -psueb applicant may live. Al‘ogether, bis Honor’s charge is said to have been most gratifying.

W. L. DeRosset, President of the Chamber of Commerce. Gentlemen :—As representing the com- mercial interests of our city, through its Chamber of Commerce the pleasant duty has been assigned me of welcoming: our guests on this occasion; which I heara tly tender you in good old Cape Fear style. We visit to-day locations of historte in- terest from the earliest days of our couns try. On this river the first armed. resis~ tence to tyranny was made, in the refusal on the part of our citizens to comply with the terms of the odious Stamp Acf, in which they were eminently sueeessfal.— And in subsequent scenes of national in- terest, the Cape Fear was fully and bon- orably represented. In our late upsuecs cessful war for independ ates tne pore was the main artery of the Confedetacy which, when secured, quickly brought our brightest hopes to an end. Here you see around you many points of interest in Forts Caswell, Holmes, Campbell, Auder- son, Buchanan, and last, but not least— Fisher of glorious memory—the only stronghold of the Confederacy overwhels mingly attacked that never surrendered bot was earried, by the bayonet. We welcome you, gentlemen, of the press, most cordially. Your valuable aid here- tofore given in securing the aid .of the general Government in restoring our Har- ber to its original capacity is graciously acknowledge, and your continued efforts in its behalf is asked for. Less than a century since, ships of 1,- 505 tens, drawing 18 or 20 feet of water eafely entered our Port; Jater we were reduced to a capacity of 12 teet; now, thanke to the successful efforts of the en- gineers we have 17 feet and many reas- onably expect that by the completion of the system adopted we shall haye a ag equal in capacity toany demand whi may be made upon us, and with the ass sistance of capitalists, whose attention has been directed by the press, to the advan- tages of the numerous investments offer- ing, we offer advantages to the people of the whole State and to the Great West, which shall not be overlooked. All that we ask for is enough of. ftate pride to induce our people to give. their own sea-port the preference on the same terms as they can secure from others. Accept then, gentlemen, a welcome as hearty as each aud every one of you could wish. ———_-—_——- The State Medical Association met te Wilson on Thursday last.

His name as frequently heard in the crowd, and in the more private gather. ings of the influential citizene be was talked of as the Demaeratic candidate for the Presidency. He is said to be a “good man,” and God knows wé. need such an one at tbe head of affairs in thie great country, The Bowan Rifle Guarda were at Char- Jotte on the 20th, and were cémplimented as the 2d dest command on the ground. This was doubtless tn reference to their mifitary bearing and accompliahment. To the eye of the gaskiJled they looked the equal of the best.

THE CENTENNIAL OF THE! MECKLENBURG DECLARATION. Immense Con¢oursé of People. A JOYOUS DAY. Distinguished Persons in Attendance. SPEECHES, FLAGS, ayy MUSIC. The celebration of the 20th of May at Charlotte, was a great success in all points. The weather was fine, and the out pouring of the people from far and near, immense. By 8 o'clock, A. M., the sireets were packed, so that it was very difficult to pass, And still they came pouring in from every direction. It was rare you could see one songht for, and almost impossible to escape from the tional Convention. It is to be hoped that . the people ot the county will turn out in | mase. ‘The time is short for canvassing and the candidates should be at work. If the people after they meet, shall find that the different Townships are not suf. ficiently represented to justify their going into the nomination of Delegates, then ° : to a . . . the Convention should be adjourned for in the Southwestern subarbs of the city, | Pattrick Morrison, two or three weeks in order that all the Townships may be fully represented.

On farther investigations it was evident the murder had been perpetrated in the kitchen, doubtless soon after breakfast. The floor had been well wiped, yet was = found considerably stained with blood, and traces of blood were also discovered '. along tho path leading from the back — door of tbe kitchen to the well. It is believed the body was thrown into the wel: L.fore dead. Thus-ended the mast brutal murder ever recorded in "- Obseywies —On Monday after the dis- covery of the body on Sunday, a large _erowd of people gathered at St. Paul's _.Jatherian charch and very soon the re- ~ mains of Mrs. H. arrived largely attended by relatives and friends. “The services were conducted by the pastor Rev. W. Kimble. His Text was from 73. Psalm and 24 verse ; Thou shal! guide me with thy counsel ‘and afterward receive me to glory. The ‘ oteasion was solemn the sermon was im- pressive, and the dense congregations at- _ seated their interest and sywpathy by marked attention, sighs and tears.

Arriving at the stand for speakers, the wilitary and firemen filed right and left to admit the passage of the orators and other distinguished invited gnests: who brought up the rear of the gtand procession. Ex- Gov. Grabam, presided. Rev. A. W. Miller opened ceremonies with prayer. A brief annoancement ‘speech from Gov. Grabam, and Maj.

Jobn Kerr, chaste, beautiful and piquant, though a little over tingered with refer- ences to the late contest between the States, Gov. Graham then introduced the Hon. John M.

Vanity of Vanities :—Talk about blighted hopes, blasted expectations, shattered sir-cas tles, &c., wesaw a case the other day, which beats the entire record from the days of Mr. Adam and Mrs. Eve down. It. was just six policemen’s billots, and their history ! _ Beit known unto all the dwellers in the moun- tain regions that the village of Old Fort has been incorporated by the act of a magnani- moes Legislature. Be it farther known that said incorporation contains jost thirteen voters, as shown by the ballot at the recent Mayor’s election, when the opposing forces were marsh- alled in full strength. And now we come to the kernel of our story. A friend of oars—a former Salisboryian— was one of the two candidates for the high and responsible mayoralty. So confident was he of his eleetion, and so determined was he that order should be kept during his reign, that he ordered from Meroney & Rro. of this place, those six 6illots, or billys—so as to have them on hand at his inanguration. But alack and alas! when the great day of the election came be recelved just six votes, while his competitor received seven and was elected! And now Meronoy & Bro. have six policemen’s billots for sale. Who wants to be Mayor next? mont, of the Carolina Central Railroad, seut up Fulton Lodge (Masonic) of this place, will celebrate the approaching St. John’s Day with aaocial r2-inion or festival, in their lodge-room. A good time in prospect We are in receipt of a well written commu- pication from Mr. J. D. Heilig, of Salisbury, now at Roanoke College. It is unavoidably crowded out, but we may make some extracts from it hereafter. Its a fact that Maine uses more sniff than ‘anv other State in the union. But it is fact that one firm in Salisbury sells three thou- sand dollars worth of the same article annually. ‘That’s up to snuff, certain. also a If you never had 1 case in court, and are at all anxious to have one, just fail to givein your taxes to squire Haughton by the 10th of June, and you will certainly be accommodated.

This road, would open up @ tremendous trade in this granite for general building purposes. Tue C. N. awp Virawnran Rart Roap.— The communieation relative to this Road came in too late for our last issue, but as the subject- matter is of mach importance to the people of Rowan and Davie, we give it this week in con- ection with the charter and other matter re- ferring to it. We are sadly in need of Rail Road communi- cation with Davie, Yadkin. and Surry, and the Proposed Road should run via Mocksville, Yadkinville. to Mt. Airy in Surry. With this Road in connection with the Yadkin Rail Road. Salisbury would be independent and would soon become the most prosperous and 1Mportent inland town in the State.

Two or three strokes with a scythe in ‘either of them, would take \ down grass and | clover enough to feed a cow all day. There | are many such all around town; aud as an indi- | eation of the quality and adaptation of soil to this kind of crop, seems to us beyond question. And yet it is a strange fact that not one in ten of the farmers of Rowan, pay the least atten- Lto the growth of grass. There is no reason, it seems to. us, why the red lands of Rowan, Davie, Davidson, Cabarrus, Meck- lenburg, Lredell, indeed of the whole of wWes- tern North Carolina, might be set in Or- chard Grass and Clover, yielding to the owners annually, at small expense, an income of im- mense value. We know of one little lot put down in these grasses (Orchard and Clover) six or seven years ago, which bas yielded two cuttings annually of heavier, and richer crops than any branch meadow in the county. The land was not very rich, nor has it heen manured since it was set in these grasses, and yet the crops come. At this moment the orchard grass upon it will measure nearly three feet in hight, with the clover struggling up to show ita red tops to the sun. With such examples before us, itis really surprising that no more general attention to the subject ismanifested, especially by thos who look to the soil for family sup- port and for wealth. —_——_— DEVOTICHAL For a wonder, last Sunday was another bright and beautiful day, a fit token of tiat great never-ending Sabbath of Sabbaths in heaven, of which these earthly ones are but types and smybols. The sun beamed down with benign radiance, the birds warbled their sweetest carols, while fields and flowers and trees dawned their brightest hues of green and yellow and gold, as if in thanksgiying to God for the universal day of rest and peace. All the churches were well filled, except St. John’s—Lutheran—which was closed on ac- count of the Pastor’s absence ; his congregation, however, went to make up the throngs of wor- shippers in the othe: churches. The pulpit of this church, will be occupied next Sabbath by Rev. Dr. Davis of Salem, Va., a learned and eloquent divine, of the Evangeli- cal Lutheran church. \. St. Joun’s Cxurcu.—The Rev. Prof. 1.

John Reardon, Blubber Davis aud | John Ti:omas, white, and Sandy Leonard, colored, were the only candidates for the stocks. Each was impilloried for an hour and suffered the indescribable tortures at- tending the pnnishment. At1l.15 P. M. the whipping commenced, with Charles Frisby, eolored, as the firat victim. ‘The cat-o’=nine-tails descended on his bare back tweuty times, making him jerk and wiggle, and, doubtless, wish be had never stolen the $42 for which this was a part ot the penalty. John Diggs, colored, convicted of larceny of razors, “as next whipped mercifully with twenty lashes. Dilmer Davis, a mulatto, wasthen severc- ly lashed for larceny, and, although evidently sufferiug from the punishment, he forced a smile when released f.om the post, and asked, ““How’s that for high ?” George Thompeon, a white man, whose bead was gray with age, tottercd to tbe post and was whipped lightly. His offense was the larceny ot chickens, and his pun. iahmeut was tweuty lashes. Robert Al- len, colored was next whipped. Reddy August, a white boy of pot more than eiguteen, but who has been whipped be- fore, was then-fastened tothe post. “Get holc of chat,’”’ he said, as he threw his coat at Sheriff Lambsou, and bared his back ; “now, lei’s have ’em.” He got ten, and went back to his cell, suffering trom bis | punishment. Chas. Henderson, white, a consumptive and a thicf, was whipped with tweuty lashes, and evidently felt as keeuly his diagrace as he did the corporal punishment. Sandy Leonard, colored, for the second time in hia short life, received twenty lashes. They were well lnid on, and his back was almost blood red when he returned to his cell. Blubber Davis, a white youth, was also whipped for the second time. He suffered intensely, and will be afflicted with a sore back for John Thomas, a young white man, bailing from Millville, N. J., and who was convicted of highway rob- bery, was the next person to hug the post. He received forty lashes, and when released his back was as red as a beet, and here and there the blood was oozing from the large welts made by the lash. “I weuld rather servea lifetime in the penitentiary at ‘Trenton than undergo that panishment again,” he said, as be pulled on his coat and started for the prison.

Tus bright and sunny May is here, The bours are rife with light and bloom, Bala fills the air, the sky is clear, The flowers revel in perfume ; ; The trees have dunued their green attire, And the searlet bush is veined with fire. The birds are singing sweet and glad, The butterfly is on the wing ; Where dwelleth gloom and lives are sad The welcome May will rapture bring. *Mid tields and woods the brook dves stray, Babdbing of happiuess and mirth ; While the golden hours of lovely May Lie mellow on the Earth.

From my own experience apd observation for over six years, I am fully satiatied there is no water in this conntry superior (ifequal) to this, to build up broken down constitution; especial- ly those nerve exhausted patients, permatarely worn down by excessive mental labor. An in- valid sleeps here equally as well asp the seaside, for these reasons, viz; The water has the effect of producing sleep, and there.are two ravines that meet here, making from the | Brushy Mountains on the North.and Northwest, which bring currents of mountain air that give cool nights, even in the most sultry weather. : ; . . Several other Minerak Springs have recently been discovered, so that persons needing differ- ent kinds of water may find'tHem here. ; ; There are also Free Stone Spring on the place affording abundance of water for washing and other purposes. = Te ¢ . ree number of years the water of one of the Mineral Springshas been nosed for culinary purposes, and has ‘imparted equally beneficial effects in winter ae well as in summer. The object of the proprietor is to make this a quiet retreat for invalids, where every comfort, may be had at all seasons of the year, and for less money chan at any watering place in the Uni- ted States. Having in course of erection additional buildings sufficient to accommodate a large number of persons, good board at reasonable prices can be had at private houses, on the grounds. Familes wishing to board themselves, may rent a neat and comfortable two story frame cot- tage with stone chimney and two fire places, and have the privilege of water, wood, bathing house, wash house, stables, &c., at $5 per week, payable weekly, or $50 for the season, if paid in advance.

The heakh of my family and self were greatly impaired by living ina miasmatic region for a number of years; to recuperate, we came to this place six years since.

These certificates were given in regard to the Spring in use fora number of years, the others were recently apened, and as soon asan analysis can be had, the public shall be advised off their properties.

September 4th, 1874, ; ‘Testimonials: Snow CREEK, Iredell County, N. C., Sep. Ist, 69. Dr. Foarp.—In answer to yourinquiry concerningmy knowledge of the effects of your Springs, I would state, that I have for the last ten years recommended the waters to patients laboring under certain diseases. In most cases the benefit has been very obyious, and in some remarkable. The diseases to which the water is best adapted, (so far as my observation extends) are Dyspepsia, Liver Disease, Degeneration of the Blood, whether idiophatic or the consequence of acute diseases, many diseases of females: Amenorrhea, Chlorosis, &c. It is very cool and pleasant to the taste, and most persons drink large quantities of it from choice. R. T. CAMPBELL, M. D, This is to certify that I lived at the above named Springs for twenty years, and that my wife, who had suffered extremely several years with rheumatism, was permanently cured without medi-- cal attention, During our stay there my family enjoyed uninterrupted health, except that my. wife was very much drawn from the suffering produced by the disease. I have witnessed the effects of the water upon many persons, and conversed with many more who have used it, and I upbesitatingly ailirm that | never knew any water to equal jt. Ji is very palatable, ood to cook with and bathing, very efficacious. (Signed.) F. M. MASON. Iredell County, N. C., May Ist, 769. During last year I had a most violent spell of cramp colic, which assumed a periodical torm, attacking me with great violence every evening for four days. At the end of that time my stomach was so irritable I could not swallow a mouthful of my own well water without pain, when on receiving a gallon from the Eupeptic Springs. I drank a pint immediately and all the gallon in a few hours, without the slighest inconvenience, and greatly to my relief. For years my wife had suffered extremely with cramp of the stomach, produced by the imprudent use ot ice, and living in a miasmatic section ; by spending the season at these Springs her health was restored. Other members of my family were cured of obstinate and chronic cases of chills by this water, after all other remedies had failed. (Signed, O. G. FOARD. Olin, N. C., January 13th, ’70. This is ta certify that my health had been greatly impaired by trayeling in the low country, and I was subject to severe atacks of billious colic, and suffering with chronic diarrhea, was induced to spend a short time at Eupeptic Springs. My health was consiuerably recruited, and I was soon enabled to resume my accustomed labors. rom the local reputation of this water, I am persuaded there is no better in the country fur some diseases. (Signed.) WM. GLOSS, D. D. 1870, Of the N.C. Conf. M. E. C. South. ‘ ———— The health of my wife was very feeble, and symptoms of dropsy evident. I carried her to the Kupeptic Springs, and her health was greatly improved. I learn from the family that some years since that my wife’s mother took one of her children who had an obstinate cutaneous dis- ease, to said Springs, and by bathing a few days it was permanently cured. (Signed) WM. F. WASSON, Sheriff of Iredell Co., N, C. ome years since my wife’s health was very much impaired, and as it was not convenient to move her to any &prings, at the suggestion of my family physician I procured water from the Kupeptic Springs, which she used several weeks with very great advantage. 1870. (Signed) MILTON GRAHAM, Olin Township, Iredell Co., N. C. JERUSALEM, Davie County, N. C. Jannary 19th, ’70, Dr, J. F. Foarp.— Dear Sir :—Last summer I recommended a lady patient to visit your Mineral Springs, near Olin. She had teen suffering from all the usnal consequences of biliary derangement, until the system had become intolerant of medicineof every ea She came back much improved, and I have had very little trouble with the case since. A. W. WISEMAN, M. D, Being 82 years of age, and haying known one of the Springs, now owned by Dr. Foard, for more than fifty years, [ affirm that during that time I have known many persons cured of diff. erent disexses by the use of said water. (Signed) SAMPSON BALL. For several years I have known the Eupeptic Springs, have sent to them some of the worst chronic cases of Chills, Torpid Liver, Dropsy, Ulcerated Wombs, and broken down constitutions from other causes, and I aftirm that for diseases of any of the internal organs, I believe there is no better water in the country, (Signed) WM. P. PARKS, M. D. Roxsoro, N. C. January 8th, ’70. This is to certify that, from knowledge of the frequent use and the benefit of Dr. J. F. Foard’s Eupeptic Spring, to myself and others, whether the water be immediately taken from the Spring or kept at home, hesitate not to recommend it as truly worthy the name it bears. In the sum- mer of 1868, my wife, who was suffering from nervous prostration, and of whose life I had, for a long time, well nigh dispaired, was decidedly benefitted by spending a few weeks at this Spring, being as she thinks, permanently relieved of a weakness of the breast, with which she had been for many years afflicted. Under so much obligation to this Spring, 1 would be highly gratified to know that it is meeting with that patronage which it so well deserves. (Signed) M. C. THOMAS, Member of the N. C. Conference, M. E. Church South. By the advice of physicians and other'friends, I was induced t bring my family, in July last, to the Eupeptic Springs, where they have remained until the present with very great advantage, and such ts my estimation of the waters, (for there are several Springs) that I have no hesitancy in recommending them to persons whose diseases are such as not mentioned in Dr. Forad’s printed circular. In facts, during this season I know several persons cured of chills long stand- ing in less than a month, and conversed with many others who were relieved of the chills and other diseases, or whose friends were benefitted by coming here. The case of the vife of Rev. E. N. Gwyn, who returned heré this season, to be perfectly restored, is a wonder to all who knew her eighteen months ago, ‘Signed REV. R. A. MOORE, Ag’t A M : in Weaggrn North Carolina. 8 wPigned) » Ag’ Society _ This is to certify that some months ago my wife was found to be laboring under a complica- tion of diseases. At the suggestion of two of our best physicians, who thought her incurable, I took her to the above named Springs. She was relieved of general dropsy, and her health great- ly improved otherwise. From my knowledge of these waters, I believe there 1s no better in our country. (Sigued) ENOCH N. WYN, Minister in the Baptist Church in N. C. I have lived for thirty-two years within two miles of the Springs now owned by Dr. Foard— During that time I have known cures effected of different diseases by the internal and ex- ternal use of said water, and by applying the mud from one of the Springs to the hands of a man who had Tetter se badly that he could not labor, the disease very soon disappeared. Leaspura, N C., February 18, 71. Whilst traveling the Iredell Circuit of North Carolina Conference, ME. peeence in 1870, my, little son about six years of age, was very suddenly and strangely attacked with dropsy, which had well nigh resulted fatally. By advice of the attending physician I was in- duced to take him to the Eupeptic Springs, and try the virtues of the water in connection with the medicine given. The result was most happy. He began to improve forthwith, and was soon pronounced well. Hs restoration was as permanent as it was speedy, and his health better since, than for a year prior to this attack. Form my knowledge of the water, and my acquain- tance with the persons who have testified of its character in the circular of Dr. Foard, I have no hesttation in subscribing to what ia therein claimed for it. (Signed) , J. W. WHEELER. STATESVILLE, N.C., February 24, ’72 Dr. Joun F. Foarp—Dear Sir :—I have seen quite a ae, persons who had hills and fever during 1869-70, who spent from three to four weeks at your Eupeptic Springs in this conn- ty, and entirely cured, and have had no return to this date. Ita rs to be a settled fact that these waters are a sure cure, for chills and fever, but for many Gee diseases. From the min- eral combinations of the waters they are not excelled by any in the country. Truly yours, 7 a.

BY BISHOP CLARK, OF RHODE ISLAND. It is # very ex'raordinary edifice— sometimes beantitul beyond discription ; bat, not goodly to luok upon, wheu the onter covering is removed, and the beams and rafters are exposed. Vhe human skeleton is the greatest ofall marvels in the way of mechanic art, and yet it is uot altractive to the eye. ‘This, however, maw be attributed’ to the law of associa- tion. There is a great deal going on in this habitation, over which the tenant bas no direct control. It bas its cookiug apart- ments, in which, withoat any action on his part, all sorts of artjcles are in the process of manufacture—tizsnes of won- derfal texture and fineness, svlid beame and rafters and arches of bone, hinges, bolts, escapemenis, valves, springs, thoxi- ble cords and bands and ligameuts, capa-~ ble of bearing an enormons strain, all made out of the raw material, and in the most finished, workmanlike manner. Every principle in meehauics which sci- ence has discove:ed seems to have -been anticipated in the work-shops ot the human frame. It also has ite laboratories, where salta, acida, alkalies, and namberless other anb- stances act upon each other, in strict accordance with the laws of moderna chein- istry; gases are resolved into fluids, and fluids into solids, aud then ihe solids are resorted to their original molecules; bril- liant hues are extracted from color the blood and give charm to -the metals, to | SALISBURY N with their hands, with euch rapidity that the eye could not follow it. On express- ing my surprise ai the marvelous skill, I was told that instead of its being a difficalt thing to do, it woutd be only by a possi- tive resisiauce of the willthat they coald avoid doing it, whenever the position of the machine indicated the time for its preformance. I once delivered a lecture automatically. Having an engagement to speak iu Phila. delpbia in aid of the Gettysburg monu- ment fund, Pfound myself withoat any manuscript. Although I bad given the lecture a number of times, 80 that it was familiar to my mind, it would have been impossible for me to repeat it memoriter alone in my study; but, trasting to the law of association, and trying to avoid any | positive effort to recall the language or the order of thought, I started the aato~ matic machine, aud it ran for more than au hour with ouly one or two breaks, and, these were occasioned simply by a feeling of anxiety, which led me to try and an- ticipate what was coming next. So far as I wae conscious, the whole thing was purely mechanical, and, perhaps the audi- cuce thought so, too. Some men tell us that everything is automatic; thought is only a flash of plospborescence in the brain; aff-ction a | nervous deposit; conscience a certain ‘condition of the glands; body and soul are [the same thing. ‘“Tmetinet, passion, ‘thought, etc, are effects of organized sub- stances. I feel that Lamas completely | the reault of my nature, and impelled to do what | do as the needle to point ‘to the north, or the puppet to move accor- eye; and even the elixer of life after which | ding as the scring is pulled. [ cannot the old alchemist tuiled a0 long and Bo Halter my will, or be other than Tam, and 'eannot deaerve either reward or punish- jmeat.” Whatdo you mean when yoa | way “1 2" Who or what is this Ego? If Vyou “cannot alter your will,” your will vainly, is evolved in the processez of transmutation that are going en there, Long before the electiic wire was stretched in the air or laid in the bosom of the deep, this wondeifal house was fur. nished with the most perfect batteries, and the magueiie commuuicaiion carried instant orders from one story of the build ing to another, aud brought back the response, With the greatest possible accu~ racy. The whole principle of the steam-engine is also to be tound in the structure whieh we will iebabit. Tiere ia an interior furnace which we furnieh withstated sup vlies of tuel—a regular draught of air the combustion, and the wheels turn more or less rapidly, as this central der Of these departinenta, as we have al ready saig, the cecupant of the house tas noimmediate coutiol, is presence is indeed indispeneabse, for tue mouieut that be motes away, everythiag that is goivg quiet, the, fires go ont in the laboratory, the batterica and engines become useless ; bat, as long as te rewains, all the mechan- ical and chemical procesecs will go on, in some fashion, in Bpile of him. Bat possible for lia to disturb) the orderly working of thiugs, by bis folly of neglect. He may withbold the proper supplies, and let the fire buru go low ag to impede the actiou of the machine; or be may intro~ duce violeut inflammables that subject it to a strain Which it caunot bear. When the Miseiesippi engineer cmpties tar, pitch, and turpentine Inte the you may look out for an explosion. Phere is many a human being, who tampe's with the del- icate organization of his body in that way and burns out the machine it he does not blow it up, What wultitudes of people there are who seem to forget that their welfare is contingent upou he care mney take of the house iu whieh they live ‘Phey are bound oven, feit theiv lease. Tt they allow the mber tumble about their ears, Tf they pert vermin and filth to accumulate ou the premises, it will breed malaria aud make the buildings uninhabitable. ‘There are sume very strange things pertaining to the house in which we all live. One of these ia, that we ecany it about with us wherever we gu, and this by @ process of locomotion which although very hard to leara, when ones acqaired, is conducted without any act of consei- ousness. ‘Che operation of walking is a very rigid piece of science. No mechan- ical skill could ever produce a walking autonraton—that is, oue that moved in accordance with the laws of our locomo- tion. In fact, it would be impossible to wake a figure that would stand upun ita teet as we do, for to do this without sup- port requires a cooetant play of the most delicate counterbalanciug forces, the use of which is attained ouly by a loug and somewhat painful expericnee—the ebiéld learning to stand and walk wuaiuly by tumbling down. And yet we do theee things without auy conscious action of the miud, after we have once found out how to do them. You may travel for miles, absorbed in reverie, or with your inteut upon the surrouadit.z eceuery, and all the while you are preforming a eoratant series of the moat complicated mechanical move- menta, which it would require the closest attention to conduct, if you were nat ace customed to them; the whole king being under the directivu of a set of nerves having their seat in the epine, far away from the center of consecivus celebration. at the same time, if you meet with any obstruction, if there is a rut to be avoided or a gutter to Le crossed, you adapt your step to the emergency which would seem to require some ex:rcises of judge- ment. It is worth noticing that those automat- ic movements, which it requires the great est effort to learn whea once acquired, may be the hardest to resist. I once observed a row of girls, etanding behind a machine used in Be manatee of silk~ thread, who, at in stated intervals, preformed a most complicated operaticn feeding the flame—motion ig eenerated by | o a - of life | eugine bappeis to ve ia good or bad ois | on there ceages,—the work shops are | it is | permaturcly, | to keep it in good repair or they may for. | to rot the whole gtructure may suddenly | Fean alter you, avd that amounts to the isame thing. According co these materi- ‘alist, the hous», then, in which we all live has vo inhavitant. This, of course, fis nonsense; bat the Bible tells us to ‘an | swer a fool according to hie folly.” aa ep ‘CLINTENNIAL” COURT | RECORDS. | The f lowing interesting extracts are itaken from the original Records on file fin the Superior Court Clera’s office of , Rowan County. “North Carolina S$ To wit: Jane lst 1775.

Cuicaco, May 19.—In the County Court tbe trial of the guestion of the sauity of Mrs. Liucoln, widow of Abraham Liocola, came up today. ‘The proceedings were based on a petition filed by Robert L. Lincoln, setting forih that his mother, Mary L. Liucoln, bas property and effects exceeding $75,000 ; that she ia non com- pos meotis and incapable of managing her estate, and praying the issuance of an order for a warrant and veuire to test the The petition waa accompauicd by the certificate of the family plyeician (Dr. Isham) to the effect that be bad examined Mre. Liucola and wae of the opinion that she was insane and a fit subject for boepital treatment. Several witnesses testified to ecceatricis ties in the conduct of Mrs. Liucula, which commenced at the time of the assassina- tion of President Lincoln, and which have become more marked as time progressed. She imagines she hears voices in the wall ; that strange beings beset Ler in the en- tries of her hotel ; that ehe was victim of poisoning plots. Her closets are full of unopened packages of goods which she bad ordered to be sent to ber room. Af ter short arrangements ihe case was given to the jury, who brought in a virdict in accordance with the facts elicited. —Mrs Lincoln will be removed to the hospital at Batayia, Illinois. Her relatives and friends bave delayed this step az long ae was considered prudent, but finally agreed that nothing elee would suffice. At the ancouncement of the verdict, Hobert Lincoln took the hand of his mother affee- tidnately, when she exclaimed with a_re- proachfut tore - -“Otrt Robert, to think question of ber sanity. . 200 000,000 will be avoided, and mrch valuable time eaved for other purposes.

Weknow that it is a common opinion that there is something wonderfully wholesome about a dog's tongue, and that his natura] habit of licks ing the objects of bie affection is rather to be encouraged than represecd.

We are reliably informed that over two handred thousand dollars have been sent out of this county by the farmers and de~ posited in the banks at Charlotte, We were surprised to hear it, since jt is, if not very injidicious, not likely to promote the welfare of the county. We suppose the banks of Charlotte allow six per cent for it. But those who have money can Jend it out bere to their own people with good security, where they can have their eyeunit. Besides Mr. J. D. McNeely will take money on depogite and allow as much as the Charlotte banks, or he will act as agent in lendjng it out to responsi- ble parties. And it is certainly as safe, and we thiok much safer, for those who have money to let Mr. McNeely or some one else have it here in Salisbury, as to rend it to Charlotte.

The advice, in- fluence, and action of these men have well nigh destroyed the prosperity of Salis bury, the value ot real estate in the coun- ty and thereby impoverished the people as well. Had it not been for the advice of these same men and such as they, Sal- isbury would number to-day tenor fifteen thousand souls, enjoy all the Railroad facilities that Charlotte now does and more. ——__ ~<a WHO ARE THE DELEGATES TO BE? This question as applied to the gentle- men whom the people of this county may send to the Constitutional Convention, is very pertinent just now, For surely it is time we had agreed upon men who will not only reflect credit upon the County, but who are capable of lending assistance in making a Constitution for the people of North Carolina. It ia a matter of too much importance to be treated lightly. There are the fewest number of men fit to engage 1n the work of making a Con- stitution. There are large numbers who vainly imagine they are copetent to do so, yet it must be evident to every reflecting mind that such work requires men of long experience, of great familiarity with legal terma, and of mach learning and ability. Otherwise, how can they know what has stood the test and proved good in the past? how can they frame provisions that will stand the test of legal criticism, or how can they vote intelligently on such as may be proposed unless they are learned in the law as well as familiar with lan- guage and the proper construction of ser- tences? The thing is impossible, and it will be strange if the intelligent and right thinking people of this county fail to look at the matter in this light. It is of the greatest moment that we bave our ablest, our most experienced, and our distinguished legal minds and popular statesmen to represent us in the Convention. Neither young men, squibs, gas bags nor wind milla have avy busi- ness in a Constitutional Convention. They will be as completely out of their ele- ment as a fish out of water. If itis the desire of the people of Rowan to have any hand in making the new Conatitution, they must send men to Raleigh capable of engaging ia the work. If not, it would save time and money to the Stat» for us to have nobody there at all. ‘The sug- gestions of ordinary men will have uno weight if indeed they will be beeded at all in that body. We have two men among us whose names have already been mentioned, who are competent for the task and who will have weight and influence in che Conven. tion. We refer to the Hons. Berton Craige and Francis E. Shober. ‘These are meu of national reputation, and they are emivently fitted to make us a Conati- tution. They were prominent represen- a tives of both the old parties, and as an evidence that the people of Rowan are willing to shake bands over the political differeuces of the past, Ict these gentle- men be chosen as the Delegates to the ,Constitutional Convention and success as well as harmony will be secured in Rowan county. It will not do to take one withont the other. We know that tbe more prominent citizens from all parts of the Oounty are for these gentlemen, and we have faith that the intelligent people of Rowan generally are, —_- +o —- - The Pennsylvania Republican Conven- tion bas pronvgneed against the Third Term. . —oe—— Telegraphic mmunication between for artieles that might be obtained at shops, and eotton factories.

Perhaps there is lees excuse for it among our own people than elsewhere. Why! Simply because our people do not haeband their own resour- ees as they should.- Phey dont seem to realize the importange of encouraging home indastry,~-home manafactures, and home trade. They send too mach abroad home—or from our own mechbauics, work- business men, aud for the sake of saying a few ceuts tNey give their patronage and their money to foreigners.

Ube merchant and mechanic must not be des farmer roined to build up the other two; but all should so labor together in harmo- ny as to strengthen and protect each oth- er. When the farmer has anything to sell he goes to the merchant, and he should also buy his goods from the mer- chant. Let confidence be restored be- tween our people, Let the farming and merchantile interest work in harmony and patronize each other, and let foreigners cease to manipulate oar money. Unless confideuce can be restored and maiutain- ed between the great interests of our own section, dull times must take the place of prosperity aud things grow woree day by day. Every one who is not blind must see this. rs Col. A. S. Buford and W. H. Green were arrested for changing the guage on the N.C. Railroad. A writ of habeas corpus was eucd out before Jadge Schenck of the 9th Judicial District, who appoin- ted a hearing at Raleigh last Saturday.

OPERATIONS OFTHE USURY LAW: The Wilmington Trust Company and Savings Bank have determined, on ac. count of action of the usury law, to close up their business and witb this view will, we learn, give notice to all of their de- positora to come forward and receive their deposits. ‘The Bank is in a perfectly solvent condition as the call on depositors will plainly show. We also understand that the Real Estate and Loan Association refuse to receive any more deposits, the intention being to closeup the banking department of their busivess.— Wil. Journal. Tbe people will stand firm and faet by the usury law and those who made it. Eight per cent. is a big interest and as muchas honest labor can afford to pay to succesaful movey makers.— Sentinal. The above extracts from the Wilming- ton Journal ehows the animus of the money ring toward the great mass of laboring people who have been oppressed and well-nigh ruined by the free money or extravagant usury system of the past eight or ten years. The money ring is trying to forestall public opinion—trying to get op a feeling ugainst the late usury law. They want from 12} to 25 per cent intereat for their money, but the preeent law wontallow this, so they must produce a panick, get up a prejudice against the Tate law, and if possible make the people believe that it ia better to pay fifteen and twenty percent. If they can succeed in this they will have the recent act repealed and have one passed to suit the money lender. Six or eight per cent. is enough for money. Itisas much as any one can pay and make ends meet. Let the peo~ ple be nat deceived by the tricks of the moneyed ring.

The three changes combined are fatal to thaus-| ands of imigrants every year. Is it not, then, of the last importance to know that Hostetter’s Stomach Bittera, gre an absolute preventive of the hurtful consequences arising from these causes? Tyavelers, yoyagers, and emigrants to new countries cannot be too often reminded of the fact that this agreeable vegetable tonic is the most reliable safeguard against disorders to which they are far more liable than the habitual denizena of healthy regions. The primal effect of the anwholesome atmosphere which produces what are called malarious fe- vers, is to depress and debilitate the system. The body then becomes an easy prey to the malignant principle in the air. It is manifest, therefure, that the surest way to avoid all epi- demic and endemic maladies of an intermittent type, is to counteract the weakening tendencies of miasma by artificial invigoration. That Hos- tetters's Stomach Bitters is the surest resusci- tant of flagging vigor, is a fact which is best appreciated wherever influences inimical. to health exist. But it is not alone against ma- laria that they protect the system. They so toughen it as to enable it to endure with im- punity extiemes of heat and cold to which travelers are often subjected, and they neutra- lize those elements in unaccustomed or diet which would. ot}terwise beget disorders of the stomach and bowels, . The brackish water with |- which voyagers by sea are often compelled to quench their thirst; is apt to provoke dysentery and other ‘serion# complaints, but when the Bitters aré nixed with it, it becomes harmless: Truly this great protective invigorant is an in- valuable traveling dompanion. . en REE EE NS A SI CI, New Advertisements.

For through Him we both have access by one spirit unto the Father.

It was the sign and seal of the covenant, the mark which was to distinguish the descendants of Abraham from the heathen around them. Under the christain dispensation this covenant is not annulled, but the sign or seal is changed, baptism taking the place of circumcision. Here we find a warrant which may well silence all the cavillers atinfant baptism The subject of baptism of infants was gone into, and its scriptural authority fully demonstrated, but our space will not permit us to notice the ar- gument at length. . The sermon was listened to with much interest by the large congregation. At tHe First MerHopist Cuvurcu, the Pastor Rey. Leo. W. Crawford, preached a very interesting sermon from the memorable mes- sage of John the Baptist to our Savior: “Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, aud said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?) Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things whieh ye doseeand hear; The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, &c.’”” Math ew 2d ch.—2d to Sth verses inclusive, John was the berald of Christ announcing Hjs coming, as was the custom in olden times of heralding the approach of Kings to any city. And now when Christ did come, Jobn was in prison, and sent unto Him his disciples to enquire of Him as to his indentity. Mark the answer and its result. Hedid not say “I am the Christ,” but he chose to Jet John judge by his mighty works, and upon this evidence John believed. Ro should we exercise faith, fur we have the di- vinely aocreditable accounts of all the signs and wonders of Him ‘who spake as never man spake,” and of Whom evenin the dire agunies of his terrible death, his very murderers were constrained to admit “truly this was the Son of God.” Let us remember that works speak louder than words, and be careful that our acts always accord with our profession, for by them are we judged. At St. Luxe’s Episcopat Cxurcn, the sermon was preached by the Rev F. J. Mur- doch, Rector, from the text:—‘‘And He said to them all. if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”—St. Luke IX, 23. The. Preacher said: The self-denial of 4 chnistain must not be occasional, now and then, but it mast amount to a habit. A. christain must deny himself daily, and take uy his cross daily, and fuilow Christ. As he canpot becon- sidered a liberal man, who only gives of his abundance occasionally, and not habitually, and as he cannot be considered a sober man, who sometimes indulges in intemperance, so he catnot be eonsidered a self-denying chris- tain. who does not practice self-devial habitu- ally and as the rule of his life Therich man in the parable is not alleged to have come ‘short of what the law roquired in tithes and offerings—but be is now suffering in tor- menta, because he refused or neglected out of hisabundance to minister te one poor man, who was in need of his charity. The preacber explained the nature of ebris- tain self-denial, and contrasted it with tha concerned with worldly objects, such as patri- otiam, etc. He exeorted his hearers to be true followers of Christ..and to actso as tofind fa vor with God. Ita man loses an eye, there remains another; if he loses a hand, another is left—but if he loses hia sou!, both body and soul must perish in hell. “What doth it profit s man, if he shali-gain the. whele world- 4nd lose bis own soul; or what shall aman give in exehnge fot his soul.” ees ~ Yadkin Raib:Road ‘using. ‘as an argament against the County making 4 subscription; that ‘the Carolina Central Rail Road has bought the road front Wadesboro to Charaw. Thiais not the case-—I wrote to Col. B, D. Townsend, President of the last mentioned road, and I take the liberty of extracting from his letter of May 28th. “The reports you speak of are erroneous— there has been no negotiation between the C.& ¥.R. R. Company, and the Carolina Central or any other Company. We have finished the grading to Wadesboro, and would have completed the Road to Wedesboro proba- bly this year—but for the unfortunate legisla- tion of N.C. just at the close of the session restricting all roads hereafter built in the State to 4.8} gange—intended to prevent the change of gauge between Greensboro and Charlotte— which it did not do, I understand. Still it canght us between wind and water and we are obliged to wait until the Legislature meets, when we are assured it will be changed to suit us. In the mean while I shall be glad to hear that the Yadkin is making progress, for the connection through from Charaw to Salisbury should by all means be made as soon as possi- ble.” Thos it will be seen that the report that we would only get to Wadesboro if we build the road to that point is not correct. The enemies of this road are ever active to put in circulation reports that will deter those who do not take the pains to correctly intorm themselves, from voting for a measure that will benefit Rowan County more than any enterprize she has ever undertaking. - I also clip from the Argus published at Wadesboro, as follows: “The meeting (of the Stockholders of the Charaw and Yadkin Rail Road Company held at Florence, 8. C. May 12th) had adjonrned without adopting any plans for prosecuting the work on theC. & Y. R. R. The old officers were re-elected and the op- inion is that, so soon. as the question of the guage shall be definitely settled, the Road will be completed. The friends of this Road need not be discouraged, it will be built.” So that there is no truth in the report that the North Carolina Rail Road Company has purchased the road from Wadesboro to Charaw with a view of keeping the Road from being completed between those two points. There are no difficulties in the way. Rowan County ought to vote a subscription. Yours Truly, RAIL ROAD. oo oo MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TOWN COMMISSIONERS. Sa.tsBory, N.C. May 28th, 1875.

The Richmond Whig says= Some very eccentric and brutal crimes which have been committed in Boston have at tracted much attention to what some. of the newspapers call ‘Bostonian dia¥olism,’ and the Hub is unmercitully berated by various joarnals. When Boston. ia re- buked by Chicago itis time for her to open her eyes and to set about the work of reform. ‘The Chicago Tribaue, shocked atthe atrocities committed in Boston, pours outa column of invective. It saye: ‘The fountain bead of Puritaniaw, the localities of auiversaries, the centre of all moralities and all the reforms, seem to have lapsed into a condition of crime which is simply infernal. This great city of churches aud schools and migsion ary societies, this iaangurator of radical reforms for the ameliogation of mankind, and ef moral notions for the good of the race, has started np a course of crime whicb is as diabolical aa itis ingenious, * ‘There must be something radically wrong in a community boasting of its civiliza» tion, which is characterized by euch fiend- igh crimes, something which indicates that the reforma most needed in Boston are a righteous judge, the sheriff, aud the bangman.” Brooklyn is aleo a city of churches, of hristain and Benevolent Societies,—the stronghold of all that is great and good and pure and ennobling, and yet it will come as uear filling the idea of that hell some back wood preachers are fond of depicting as any place on the habitable globe. The same may be said of other cities—of other so-called enlightened, civilized and christain cities. What do these things teach? We have not space to give our idea bere. ‘There is certainly a conflict of discordant elements in the world, But while bigotry, fina iiciam, (and oneideaism constitute the religion of men, it ehould not be a matter of eurprise if the forces of the devil should often ap- pear to bein theascendency. “Sufficient unto the day is the civil thereof.” —— ——s— Cor.

The health of my family and self were greatly impaired by living ina minsmatic region for a number of years; to recuperate, we came to this place six years since. Our health has been fully restored by these waters. : . .

Dr. Foarp.—In answer to your inquiry concerningwy knowledge of the eflects of your Springs, I would state, that [ have for the last ten years recommended the waters to patients laboring under certain diseases. In moat cases the benetiiuas been very obyious, and in sume remarkable. The diseases to which the water is best adapted, (so fur as my observation extends) are Dyspepsia, Liver Disease, Degeneration of the Biood, whether idiophatic or the consequence of acute diseases, many diseases of females; Amenorrhaa, Chloromis, &. tis very cool and pleasant to the taste, and most persons drink large quantities of it from choice. kK. T. CAMPBELL, M. D, This is to certify that I lived at the above named Springs for twenty years, and that my wile, who had suffered extremely several years with rheumatism, was permanently cured without medi- cal attention. During our stay there my family enjoyed uninterrupted health, except that my wife was very much drawn from the suffering produced by the disease. 1 have witnessed the eflects of the water upon many persons, and conversed ‘with many more who have used it, and | unbesitatingly affirm that I never knew any water to equal jt. It is very palatable, good to cook with and bathing, very efficacious. (Signed.) EON AEXSON Iredell County, N. C., May Ist, 69. STATESVILLE, N.C. September 11,772 My father took me to the Eupeptic Springs when I was small! to enre some or ees Gig that had resisted medical treatment for some time. The sores were cured upon my feet very soon ufter begining the use of said water, and I believe the water good for many other disca- ses. W. D. SUMMERS, Register of Deeds, [From the Statesville Landmark, A ugust 1st, 1874 } Tue Evprrtic Sprincs.—These springs are locatedin Iredell county ,fifteen miles from States- ville. Atuno distant day they are destined to become the most popular resort for invaiids in the State. The mineral properties of the water are so admirably combined that invalids and chil- dren drink it with avidity. The Physicians in this section pronounce the waters a spicific for Dyspepsia, Chills, Dropsy, Scrofula, Rheumatism, and other diseases arising from a deranged iiyer. A number of ceptificates before us attesi the virtue of the water, and fully sustain the opinions expressed by a number of our leading physicians, The Proprietor, Dr. Foard, is a cuss tivated gentleman, and a most genial host. His ohject is to make these Springsa quiet retreat for invalids. where every comfort can be had at every season of the year, and upon the most rea- sonable terms. The subjoined extract from a letter written by Mr. James Southgate, we can cheerfully endorse: While in Iredell county, a few weeks since, I visited the Eupeptic Springs. which have a rep- utation in Western North Carolina for curing many of the most obstinate cases of Dropsy, Dys- pepsia, &c. I was pleased to see so many improvements in the buildings apd other appointments about the place. One can spend a few months here very comfortably and qiietly. A good Lreeze at night administers to the comfort of sleepers, and although the midday is warm, the visitor is repaid by the delightful mornings and evening. ‘Lhe water is pleasant to the taste, and gives one an appetite which is damaging to fine mutton, beet and chickens to be found there. Dr. Juo. F. buard, the proprietor of these Springs, is a host within himself, and well known in many sections of the State. All who may patronize this watering place may be assrred ofa Leaty wel- come and good table comforts. I do most cheerfully recommend the Eupeptic Springs to inya- lids who desire to be really benefited. AX ALarming Soctat Evin. —One of! the most alarming of the social evils in the present day, says the Washington Chronicle, is the uluost complete surrens der of the average women to showy dres- sing.

Foarp.— Dear Sir :—Last summer I recommended a lady potient to visit: your Mineral Springs, near Olin. She had been suffering from all the usual couscquences of biliary derangement, until the system had become intolerant ot medicine of every kind. She came back much improved, and I have had very little trouble with the case since. A. W. WISEMAN, M. D. i Being 82 years of age, and haying known one of the Springs, now owned by Dr. Foard, for more than fifty years, I affirm that during that time I have known many persons cured of diff: erent diseases by the use of said water. (Signed ) SAMVSON BALL. For several years I have known the Eupeptic Springs, have sent to them some of the worst chronic cases of Chills, Torpid Liver, Dropsy, Ulcerated Wombs, and broken down constitutions from other causes, and I athrm that for diseases of any of ile internal organs, i believe there is no better water in the couutry. (Signed) WM. P. PARKS, M. D. ~~ Roxzoro, N.C, January 8th, 70. This is to certify that, from knowledge of the frequent use and the benefit of Dr. J. F. Foard’s lupeptic Spring, to myself and others, whether the water be immediately taken trop the Spring or. kept at home, hesitate not to recommend it as truly worthy the name it bears. In the sum- mer Of 1868, my wife, who was suffering from nervous prostration, and of whose life I had, for 4 long time, well nigh dispaired, was decidedly benetitied by spending afew weeks at this Spring, being as she thinks, permanently relieved of a weakness of the breast, with which she had been for many years atilicted. Underso much gbligation to this Spring, 4 would be highly gratified to know that it is meeting with that patronage which it so well deserves, (Signed) - M. C. THOMAS, Member of the N. C. Conference, M. E. Church South. By the advice of physicians and other frienda, I was induced ti bring my family, in July last, to the Eupeptic Springs, where they have remained until the present with very great advantage, and such is my estimation of the waters, (for there are several Springs) that I have no hesitancy in recommending them to persons whose diseases are such aa not mentioned in Dr. Ferad’s printed circular. In facts, during this season I know several persons cured of chills long stand- ing in less than a month, and conversed with many others who were relieved of the chills and other diseases, or whose friends were benefitted by coming here. The case of the wife of Kev. E. N. Gwyn, who returned here’ this season, to be perfectly restored, is a wonder to all who knew her eighteen months ago. (Signed) REY. R. A. MOORE, Ay’t A M. Society in Western North Carolina. , _ This is to certify that some months ago my wife was found to be laboring under a complica- tion of dixeases. At the suggestion of two of uur best physicians, who thought her incurable, I took her to the above named Springs. She wax relieved of general dropsy, nnd her health great- ly improved otherwise. From my knowledge of these waters, J believe there 14 no better in our country. (Signed) ENOCH N. GWYN, Minister in the Baptisi Church in N.C. - I have Iived for thirty-two years within two miles of the Springs now owned by Dr. Foard— During that time I have known cures effected of different diseases by the internal and ex- ternal ose of said water, and by applying the mud from one of the Springs to the hands of a man who had Tetter se badly that he could not labor, the disease very soon disappeared. ae . Leassura, N C., Febrnary 13,71. Whilst traveling the Iredell Cirout of North Caroljya Conference, M. E. ChurchiSooth, in 1870, my little son about six years of age, was very saddenly and strangely attacked with dropsy, which had well! nigh fesalted fatally. By advice of the attending physician I was jn- duced to take him to the Eupeptic Springs, and try the virtues of the water in connection with the medicine given. .The result was most happy. He begat to improve forthwith, and was soon pronounced well. Has restoration was as permanent as it was speedy, and his health better sine, tae a year Beer fe this seer ore my knowledge of:the water, and my acquain- ance with the persons who have testified of its character in the circular of Dr. Foard, I bh hesttation in subscribing to what is therein claimed for it.

Introduce me to him, when he comes, as an old friend of the family, and uot as a lawyer.” Mr. Alexander Cumpbell calied in the course of the afternoon, aud was made acquainted with Abuer Pierce, at whom he looked suspiciously; but his eyes fell when he met the old gentleman’s iutent and pierceing gaze. Mr. Pierce glanced but slightly at the deed that was offered for the cousideration of the ladies; heing oceupied in studying the countenance of the man in whese favor it waa drawn. ’ an- r BY CARL BRENT. The recent relations eoncerning deed ; forgeries, at a criminal trial in Chicago, have reminded me of an incident that occurred a few years ago, in the vicinity of St. Louis, which seems to me worth ‘Yelating. Clara and Mary Merwin, sisters and | @rphans, were in the sitting roo of their. pleasant home on the edge of a village near the Missousi, Ther mother bad ; been dead several yeara; their father had lately died, Jenying them an estate as eapposed, of the value of some forty thousand dollars. Ba: they had learned } Quite recently that the property was en- cumbercd io .guch an extent that they were likely to be deprived ofitall. ‘Ibis discovery, as may be supposed, filled them with sadness and anxiety. and they were seated iu silencey wuable to read, to converse, to work, to do auything but brood @ver their great misfortaue. | While they were thus occupied with! sombre thoughts, a buggy drove up in’ frontef the house, and a man alighted, ! aud the b ve away. ‘Chia ee ree been a little on; the abady side of fifty; to judge from his | gray haire, although bis face waa fresh | aud unwrinkled.

Suppose you come up after supper, Mr. Campbell, and suppose you bring ‘that mortgage with you. I have no doubt it ig all correct, but I would like to see it.” Mr. Campbell -asseated to this and withdrew. Abner Pieree filled his pipe with nervous haste, but also with tobacco, and Mary brough: ©. + a light. : “T know that you a.ve some good news for us,” she said. *‘l cao gee it in your face ” “Not bad, my child.

You mast trust me, and let mé work in my own way.” After supper, when Abner Pierce had enjoyed another comfortable smoke, and’ bad conversed with the girle concerping their mother as he had known her in her youth—a subject upon which be grew very eloguent— Alexander Campbell came tn, binging the deed and the mortgage, both of which be handed to Mr. Pierce for examination. . “J have made inquiries ¢oncerning the property,” said the old gentleman, ‘‘aud am satisfied that it is not worth more | than the amount of the mortgage, and it woald probably bring much less if sold at torecloseure. Your offer is a liberal oue; but I mustlook at the mortgage. ‘This appears to be correct,” he coutinued, when he had examined the instrument. “It ia properly acknowledged and the signature is undoubtedly that of Philip Merwin. I suppose the young ladies will have to go to the county seat to execute the deed.” The girls’ countenances fell at this suddeo surrender on the part of their champion. “This reminds me,” said the old gen- tlemau, picking up the morgage iD, of an occurrence that fell under my obser- vation in ‘ennessee..

He will be far from here by moru- ing. Ihave no donbt, a good riddance of him! Ah, this is comtortable. ! kuow that I feel better, and I hope that you | do.’’ | ‘The girls were eure that a great weight 1 had been lifted from their minds and ‘hearts. Alexauder Campbell, alias Beil, decamped, and Ainer Pierce stayed a week with the oiphans, daring which time he arranged all their affairs satisfaca torily, and won their lasting gratitude and : love. “Flow can we ever thank you for all: you have done for us?” gaid Clara, when he was about to leave. “It was for your mother’s sake, my child. And tor her sake, if I can ever |help yoa, all I have is at your service.” Abuer Pierce bas visited the orpbans frequently sinee the event above narrated and they have always had a cordial wel- “come for ‘‘ma’s old beau.” A TAX ON THE PHOF:i It has become quite a subject of remark among those wbo have the opportunity of observing that the colored portion of our population are certainly @ tax to us in one respect, and that ia the great penchant they have for ‘going to court.” Every little difficulty, however trivial and insig- nificant, ia carried up to the Superior Court; andia many eases it transpires that the plaintiff is rcally the guilty pars ty, while in others both are equally guil- , ty. y Now, as a matter of course, the greater | the length of time consumed in clearing | the State docket, the greater will be the expense to the coudty, and the large num: | ber of these little cases coming up at every | term-of the Superior Courts is not ouly a, needlvas expenee, butis also often the’ uieans of delaying the trial of important , criminal cases. | When will the negroes learn that they | not only gaia nothing by this love of go-~ ing to law, but that they lose their time’ (which is mouey), Contraet habits of idle- | ness, and maké many enemies?

Ii is no exaggerativn to say that not oue person in teu who voted for ti could read the iustrumeut, aud aot one in fitty had read it or was even moderately familiar with its provisions, and many give it their support believing it would be merely temporary, and to escape further agitation and revolution. It is natural therefore that a Constitution thas formed kK ‘and adopted should be found unsuited to our goudition, and that we ehould em brace the earliest opportunity consistent with reason aud prudence to secure euch changes as time and experieuce have shown to be ueceasary. Our organie law should be expressed in language clear, simple aad perspicuous, so that nothing way be left to inference or construction ; vur rights, 89 precisely defined as to be comprehended by all men of ordinary intelligence ; aud each department of the government should be go restricted, that while left free to discharge its appropriate duties, it cannot by unwarranted encroach- ments embarrass the proper action of the others. THE CONSTITUTION UNSUITED TO OUR CONDITION. Thai the Constitution containg- sonic good provisions no one denies; it would be singular if it did not, but its abomina- ble characteristics wero so marifest that not a single Conservative member of the Convention that passed it could be in- duced to affix his,signature to it, asa fit inatrument to be submitted to the people. Indeed iis provisious are eo Jcosely word- -ed and so !adly arranged as to constitute but a medley ot inconsistencies that defies the successful construction of the courts ; - in fact, to reconcile the difficuliies arising from its practical workings, the court bas in some instances been driven to supphy omissions, and in others to introduce~a new priuciple, hitherto unkuown in the juridicial tistory of our State, distinguish- ed as “judicial lagislation,’ an innovation anti republican in character and invasive of the rights and dutics of a separate de- partment. Its provisions are 60 obscure that within the brief space of its existeuce many more decisions ou constitutional questiona have beeu demanded than in tbe entire previous history of the State-—and ot late we have witnessed the extraordi- nary spectacle of two sete of jadges iu both the 2ud aud 8th Judicial Distriets, contending for the same position, one of which claiming to hold by an appoiatment from the Governor for a period of ten years, an office that the Constitution seems to say is to be filled by the people at the polls, aud whose term is expressed to be ouly eight years. In many eounties, there is a practical denial of justice, the courts are inadequate to the publie demands, aud thus they are driven to resort tp special terms, which are expensive and unsatisfactory, aud persons accused of criminal offenses are oftea confined for months withont trial. We need a speedier justice and a less ex- pensiva; judiciary system. We should abolish every useless office, which is now filled by @ mere consumer ; fof nly bya That fear uo. lieved tbat the laws, will be,mupre tmpar- tially administered by a. ret to the old practice’ of'a totation of the Fahzee.

There should he some general ordi- nances adopted in relation to private en- actments, thereby reducing the expenses of the Legislature, and in order to prevent hasty and inconsiderate legislation, that no new masters be brought forward with- in days of their adjourning. ? ~ CAREFUL SELECTION OF DELEGATES. As to the specific changes that ought to be made, thése ure to be considered by the citizens of the various counties, who should be careful to select as delegates those who wiil properly reflect their wish- es. Men of enlarged and practical states menship, spotless integrity, representas tives of all classes of society, and whose positions among them will entitle their labors to confidence and support—and ia thei: hands they certainly ean more safely coufide their rights than in the Convention of 1868. METHODS OF CHANGE. prejudice and gtd To'them we extend them ‘this “bil : ress and if Tt did*woatd by the resident, thengfi it now had ‘iis ‘signa. ture ; and who have witnessed the éarnest- nege with whichthe dangerous ‘Force Bill” was urged upon Congress, we say no longer remain where their is neither safety nor honor to @ North Carolinian. The ‘bat- the for civil liberty is not yet over. “Civil Rights” is still a purt of the secret carpet- bag programme for this State; though driven from the halls of Congress, it will be renewed in the Southern States. We therefore invite their co-operation. The Convention owes its final success to the support of eome of their ablest represen- tatives in the General Assembly and they are doubtless aware that the wise provis~ iona introduced into the Convention of 1868, by their ableet representatives were scouted and defeated by that same. eles ment that has brought ruin upon their party and confusion to our State. NECESSITY OF ORGANIZATION. The friends of Convention should at once perfect their organization and bring out their best men in every County im the State. The leaders of the Republican party kifow that by their reckless viola- tions of the constitution and efforts to eeutralize all power in the hands of the Iederal Government, they have justly torfeited ihe confidence and support of the people; they therefore trust not to their own stieygth but to our apathy, and will eudeavor to secure our defeat by divisious and false leaders. Wo therefore reapec'- fully invite their atteutivu to the following reaslation adopted and successfully fol- luwed in our last campaign : Resolved, Vuat we earnestly recommend to the members ot the Democratic Con- Of the two methods -preseribed for changing the Constitution, that by legis- lative snactment is expensive, uncertain and dangerons; the several amendments recently submitted toand ratified by the people encountered the greatest difficultics | in their passage, and even after the will of | the people waa declared in their favor by over 40,000 majority, serious appreben- sion were entertained as to whether they were properly adopted ; again, legislators | when possessed of qualifications for euch | duties, are encumbered with numerous matters, and cannot bring that attention | to each provision presented for considera- | tion, withont meeting such criticisms as | may imperil their labors, The Convention method is speedy and | economical, the body ia composed only of | the same namber of members as comprise | the Honse of Representatives, and their | minds are directed alone to conatitational | reforms and their work may be completed | and ratified, if necessary, in six. months. | As to the expenses that may be incurred, it ix believed they will be more than de- | frayed in a short time by the reforms that | will be inangurated. The restrictions imposed by the Legia~ lature, fully and amply secure the Home- ; stead, Mechanics Lien, Rights of married wome, and Personal Liberty, and should | quiet the fears of the most timid, for they are recognized as of binding efficacy and are chiefly enjoyed by the friends of con- atitutional reform. Indeed they were in- corporated in the bill mainly to remove partizan clamor, and anticipate unscrapu- lous agitation. They are not the property of a mere party, but had their origin in the necesitiea of civilized scziety and were | found among the statutes of various States previous to the war. QUALIFICATONS OF DELEGATES. Tt is useless, however, to seek to quiet the mere caviller; the keeu optics of some persons defy all law.—The mere fact that the honor of the best men in tbe State is pledged to their preservation, should sat- | isfy every reagonable voter. This Con- vention is called in pursuance of law, and each delegate before “he shall be permitted | tosit, to be entitled toa seat in said | Convention or act as a delegate thereto,” shall awear and observe there restrictions” (see acts 1875) Shoulda part comply and part refuse to take this oath, only those who obey the law are members of the body, nor are we without precedents ; similar vath was required of the members of the “restricted Convention” of 1835, the eame question was raised, and after debate all the members took the oath and observed the restrictions, and thatina time of high party excitement. In that disenesion the distinguished Judge Gass ton used the following langaage: ‘The State Legislature had indeed no authority to impove an oath upon the members of the Convention, but the people had ratified the act of the Legislature by choosing delegates under it. If we transcend the limits or refuse obedieuce to the condi- tious therein prescribed, we are not the Convention called by tbe people, but a self constituted body;” these views were coneurred in by Macon, Edwarda, Morehead, aad others.

The Statesville American, is mistaken when it says that we were ever opposed to helding a Convention. We have per- sistently advocated the holding of a Con~ * weation to change the present Constitution, uversince it was adopted. We wrote articles against a restricted Convention ; bat never against the holding of a free untrammeled Convention of the people. —--- GaP It isa gratifying sign to see 0 many of our country friends in favor of sending to the Convention two of our ablest and most experienced men. The suggestion of the names of the Hons, Barton Craige & F. E. Shober, has met with general approval, not only among our own gountry friends, but of the press ef the State. Many «tf the newspapers ef the State have spoken in the moat complimentary terms of these gentleman, and are delighted at the prospect of see~ ing Old Rowan represented in the Con- vention by such able, wise and experienc- ed beade. = It will be creditable not only to Rowan, but to the State to have sach gentlemen to tuke part in remodeling the organic law. ——~-—_—_——- tar” We anderstand that the charge on first class freight from Baltimore to Charlotte over the N U Rail Road is 85 cts per bandred ; from Baltimore to Salisbary over the same Road it is $1,30. The dis- tanee from Baltimore to Salisbury is about fifty miles less than to Charlotte, yet our merchants have to pay nearly doable the amonnt of freight that is charged the Charlotte merchants. It is really cheaper to ship goods from the North around by Wilmington then over the N. C. Road. The cause of this great difference in tariffs is attributable to the tact that there are competing lines of Boads to Charlotte, and for the want of them the people of Rowan are paying exhorbitant freight tariffs. ee fe” The Rads hope to make capitol, in the ensuing canvass for delegates to the Convention, out of the division that exists among our people on the subject of veting a subscription to the Yadkin Railroad. But the Railroad subscription has nothing in the woild to do with the election of delegates to tke Convention, and we trust no one ia Rowan county will be made to believe so. electing oar best men to the Convention ie paramount to nearly every other con~ sideration.

It is now stated that bran and floar answer the purpose better than any other remedies that have been tried. The bran is sim. ply dusted over the infested cabbages as goon as the worms make their appearance. If the worms are very thick, about a handful of bran is required to each cab. bage head and sometimes it is necessary to6 go over the planis the second time.— A Handred weight of bran is sufficient foran acre. It must be applied when the worms are young. When they are full grown or very strong, it doea not appear to effect them. ‘The flour is sifted upon them by means of a sieve in the evening or in the morning when the dew ia onthe plants: If one application does not de stroy the worms a second one shoald be e. If itis probable that wheat flour, fine Indian meal or any other pulverulent | fairnaceous eubs:ince wonld have same effect —Carolina Messenger. the We suppose the efficient principle in this remedy is the dust coating left on the eabbage by sprinkling with bran or floar. The same effect is produced by sprinkling with dust from the public road or street, or by pulverized dict in the garden. Svet, ashes, snuff, &c.. have all been used with like effeet. The only reason for prefer- ing bran or floar, we think, is that they are cleaner, and would be less objectiona. | ble in éuse, by accident, any portion of i: shoald go into the pot with the cabbage when it comes to cooking. ee According to Legislative enactment the action 6f the convention is restricted to within certain limits, aud while we recog nize vo power, inherent or conterred by the people, upon the Legislature to res- trict the aciion of that body, we are nev- ertheless sensible of the fact that if the restrictions are ratified by the people the | effect will be the same as if the Legiela- ture had been authorized to pasa thie re- Strictions referred to, because the people are sovereign, and their ratification of an act of the Legislature, ia equivolent toa law passed by the people themselves.— Charlotte Observer. We woald like for our well informed pontempurary to tell us how the people are to ratify the act calliug a Convention, orthe restriction, since that act is not submitted to the people for ratification or rejection. We are unable to anderstand bow it ean be done. If there had been a bUp ew viaty ui nUiuozing the ques- vu vf restrictivus to be passed upon by the people, that would base settled the matier, But as that was not done, and as choosiig delegates under the act, (for thie {is issparative,) does not ratify the The. necessity of ———— restrictions we are at a loss to dfder< stand how they can be made valid or binding». The’ fact is “the sooner the people everywhere resolve to ignore the so-called restrictions and go to work to elect men in whom the people have cou~ fidence to make fur them an-out-aad out N. C. constitution, the better will be the chance of filliug the Convention with true and acceptable men. ee QUALIFICATONS OF DELEGATES, “It is useless, however, toseek to quiet the mere caviller; the keen optics of some pereons defy all law.— The mere fact that the honor of the best men ie the Siate is pledged to their: preservatiou, should sat- isfy every reasonable voter, This Cov- vention is called in parsuance of law, and each delegate before “he gball be permitted togit, to be entitled toa seat in said Convention ar act as a delegate thereto,” (see acta 1875) Should a part comply and part refuse to take this oath, only thuse who obey the law are members of the body, nor are we without precedents ; similar oath was required of the members of the “restricted Convention” of 1835, the eame question was raised, and afer debate all the members took the oath and observed the restrictions, and that io a time of high party excitement. In «hat diseuesion the distinguished Judge Gas- ton used the following language: ‘The State Legislature had indeed no authority to impovze an oath upon the members of the Convention, but the people had ratified the act of the Legislature by choosing delegates under it. If we tranecend the limits or refuse obedience to the condi- -tions therein prescribed, we are not the Convention called by the people, but « self coustituted body ;” these views were concurred in by Macon, Edwards, Morehead, and others. We will disinisa this subject, however, by calling atten- tion to the able work of Judge Jamieson ou “Constitutional Convention” where, by argument and the cases cited by bim in reletion to this matter, he demonstrated that Couvenutious are bound to obey the Lestrictions imposed ty the Legislature iv the Act calling the Conventiun.” We take the above extract from the recent address iasued by the State Demo cratic Executive Committee. We have heretofore discussed qucetion involved in the above paragraph, and we would not now notice it were it not for the self satisfied air assumed in the force conclusions upon the people that are erroneous and which cannot be sustained. ciples is concerued we are ready to com- the destinies of the people. of the Conveation act altogether. Better sach a flimsy and arrogant defe..se. Gaston and others, the restrictions imposed upon the Convention of 1835, derived their binding force from the fact that they were embracea in a bill which was ratified by the people authorizing the assembling of the Convention. The people thereby ratified the call, endorsed the restrictions and elected delegates all at the same time. Otherwise, the restrictions and oath im. posed would have had no binding force. That this was the opinion of the Couven- tiou inust be evideut to all who have studied the debates which occurred therein on the subject. | | is a very different one to that passed by the Legislature in 1835. ‘The bill of 1875 calls a Convention absolutely. The bill of 1835 submitted the question of Conven- /tion or no Convention to the people. In the latter case they agreed to have a Convention on the terms offered by the | Legislature: In the other, they are not giv: |@M an opportunity to endorse or reject the provisions of the bill, and it will remain for their delegates to pursue such a course with respect to them as they may deem ‘proper.

Bat we are couductiug a paper indepen- dent of party, and we can not therefore be prevailed upon to endorse what we believe to be wrong merely upon party grounda. So far as oar loyalty to democratic prin- pare records with any one in the State, and it is our fidelity to true democracy and to principle that forcea us to join issue with those who are now assuming to gnide The dogmatic and unsatisfactory man- ner iu which the queation of restrictions is treated by the Executive Committee, iustead of quieting the fears of the people, willawaken apprehension as to the validity bave never touched it than tu have made Everybody knows who has troubled himself with a single thought concerning the question, that, according to Judge The bill passed by the last Legislatare people had and have a right to restrict or bas no right to restrict or instruct tbe their highest sovereign capacity ; and it | 18 simply a perversion of facts to put such a construction upon the opinions of Gaston, Macon, Edwards, Morehead and others, as that placed upon them by the Executive Committee ; for all these have expreseed. themselves in the most emphatic manner Th: Executive Committee closes, by refering in a rather powpous manner to Judge Jamieson, on Cunstitutional Con- the question. If Judge Jamieson’s posi- tion is no more correctly stated than Judge Gaston’s position, then it were better they had not cited it. And we are mueh inelin- eer ese a doctrine was ever recognised in thie coah- try. up to his ties at, least. Bat we will refer to a few other authorities fully as competent td settle this question as Jadge Jamieson. We have only. space to give the substance of the opiuions held by a few: Jadge Kent in his Commentaries on Constitutional Law says that a Convention is the act of the people speaking in their Constitation ereated by such a body is valid without a sabsequent ratification by. the people, and hence all restrictions are invalid. Ifthe Convention chaases to obverve the restrictions they can do 80;{ ‘bat there is no power which requires them so to do, other than a respect for the law calling a Convention. a Chief Justice Marshall held that the Legislature ia the creature of the Conati- tation ; that the Constitution owes its ex- istence to a Convention, and asks how then can the creature be greater than the ereator 7 The Constitution emanates from the people acting in their highvst sover- eign capacity, without restriction or limit- ation. + Blackstone held that one Parliament has no power to pass an act derogatory from a subsequent parliament; because parliament being in truth the sovereign power is always of equal, always absolute authority. Hence, we conclude, a Con- vention acknowledging no superior upou the globe cannot be restricted by a power that derives its authority from a Conveo tion. Cicero iu his letter to Atticus says when you repeal the law itaelf you at the same time repeal the prohibitory clause which guards against such repeal. ‘T'bat is to say, that av act passed by a sover-. rign power can not restrict an act passed by a subsequent power acting with equal authority. The whole question of restrictions wae thoroughly discussed in the celebrated case vf Marbary vs. Madison aod was regarded as settled, until a few selfish par- tisavs found it couvenient to diaturb it Every one knows that the Convention that framed the present Constitution of the United States exceeded the powers conferred upon it, yet it is not pretended thatthe acts of that Convention are illegal or void. And this shows the ab- surdity of attempts ta restrict Conven- tions. It has been decided hy the Courts that io restrictions can be placed upon the members of a Couvention, as there can be on the members of other deliberative bodies; that any magistrate, officer, whether governor, judge, or what not, is eligible to a seat as a member of a Con- vention. This alone ought to be enffici ent to show the folly of attempting to restrict the action of a Conveution. When such men as Judges Gaston, Ruffin, Bagder, Biggs, Guv. Bragg, Avery, Bat Moore, Haywood, and others among the ablest men North Caroliua has yet produced, tell us that there is no power in the legislature to restrict a Convention, we feel incliued to laugh at the pompous but weak opposition offered to their opin- ious by the Executive Committee. But some will say let us keep quiet, for if we discuss this matter we will help the Rads,—lend them aid andcomfort. Ii was indeed giviug Rada aid and comfort wheu a weak Legislature endorsed their infamous Constitation by assuming to re- strict tbe people’s delegates and thereby force them to accept certain of its odious provisions. It was giviug aid aud comfort when the Legislation coufessed that the Conservative party had lied in its denan- ciation of the Cauby Constitution. It was giving aid and comfort to Radicalism when the party’s legislature, through tim. idity and weakuess, set aside time honored principles aud assumed todo that which they had no legal or coustitutional war- rant to preform. it was giving aid when this same body thns confessed that they were afraid to trnst the people. We spara the idea that we would be giving aid to Radicalism because we re- fuse to endorse the follies of our own par- ty. There is no law to require delegates elect to the Convention to take the iufa mous oath prescribed by the legislature, or to observe the so-called restrictions, sovereigu people should recognize these or takethe other. Jt was cowardly to exact it; it is practicing deception to claim that they had ihe right to do it. There is no law for it and it is therefore wrong, and should be oppos:devery where. Let the people send men to the Convention who will spurn such degrading terms, aod who will dare to make for the people a thorough aud acceptable North Carolina Coustitution, regardless of degrading oaths and illegal restrictions. When the Convention meete it will have the power to do whatever its members may deem best,—to turn out every Radical now sacking pap from the publie cribe in the State—to give us decent Jadges, and all necessary reform measures, aud if it fails to do itit had better not aseemble. Let us hear no more about abiding by the act calling the Convention eo far as the oaths and the restrictions are concerned, and let as put men in the field who will sab- mit to nothing unauthorized by law and will have the nerve to combat rotten Rad- icalism on Principle and not by concession oz, enn tion.

At uine A. M. the precession composed of twenty-five vehicles crowded with ehildhuod and youth, with a proper spriokling of ulder heads moved down Inniss St. from the Church, aud it was a beautiful sight. At Dan's Mountain all enjoyed themselves. A bountiful dinuer was spread aoder the over- hanging branches of the forest trees at the foot of the Mountain, and all were amply satisfied with the feast of good things. About 180 persons were on the grounds, and all of them say they'd like to have it ee SAD DEATH. -We feel deeply pained in having to announce £0 our readers, the sad and sud- den death of one of our best citizens, Mr Tobias Peeler, of Gold Hill township, which occurred on Sunday evening last. Mr. Peeler had been to Salisbury, to bring up Rev. Mr. Shaford, aud on his +way home the mule which he was driving took fright, and ran away, avd Mr. P. eitber jumped from the buggy, or wus thrown violently out. The mule ran to the house, without the buggy, and witb torn ard flying harness, which at once aroused the fears of the family, who start- ed out in quest of Mr. Peeler, and only a few hundred yards from his own gate they found him lying upon the ground, stunned, senseless, bleeding and dying. All that tender care and medical skill could do for him was done, but without avail, and about midnight he breathed his last. Mr, Peeler was a succeasful teacher, and upright man, aod an humble clristain, —— LOCKE TOWNSHIP MEETING. On Saturday 5th inst. The people of Locke Township met.

Foundry.—We dropped in at the Found and workshops of Messrs. Meroney Bro.. a few days ago, and were somewhat surprised at the extent of the shops and the amonnt and char- acter of the work there done. Mr. Trexler, a skillful and experienced machinist, is at the head of the foundry, and while we were there he was engage in converting the liquid metal into almost every concievable implement, from a plough point to a horse power. Every dsecrip- tion of casting is here done with promptness and in such a way as to give entire satisfaction. At the machine shops, blinds, sas, doors, and in fact every sort of carpenter's work are made and done in the most approved style. Mr. Lee White stands at the head of this department: In connection with the foundry and these shops isa grist mill, which we were told was capable of grinding from 75 to 100 bushels of grain daily. A large number of hands are here employed, and aside from the fact that it gives employment to a large number of persons it is such an enterprize as should be sustained by the people in this section. The quality of the work turned’out is as.good as ean be done anywhere and the prices are as reasonable, The celebrated Farmers” Plough is made here and any part of it can diways be had. Meroney Bro., deserye much credit for the energy and lishment of these shops. They will prove of great benefit to the people and shuuld be liber- ally patronaged. CHURCH NOTICES. Sr. Joun’s LUTHERAN CRURCH. Sermon by the Pustor, Rev. J.G. Neiffer. Text 18th chap. Luke, part 18th verse.—“And they all, witb one consent began to make excuses.” The Minister showed that the excuses made by them were nothing but deceptive courtesies which the master understood, and that these guests prefered to attend to their business of money making or anything elxe to being present at the Supper? Jesus Christ bas provided and freely offers the richest and must abundant blessings. Allexcuses which men make for not accepting them are vain and wicked. Unless.we attend to the Religious duties of the church in preference to secular affairs, un less we go when invited we may never be per- initted to taste of the Supperofthe Lord. God is angry with men who will not accept of his salvation and be forever happy, and when for- ever miserable they will see that no part of the blame attaches to him, but that it all belongs Lo themselves.

Ruinous.—We are informad that the amount of surplus money paid ‘into onr Post Office by persons sending North special orders for articles, over aud above what is required to pay orders drawn on this office, is nearly 4 thousand dollars a week. A weekly drain then of wearly one thousand dollars is inflicted upon Rowan by hercwa peopie. This much money is sent out of the county and tothe North, and gves toward building up Nortbern cities and Northern mauufactories. It dun’t pass through the haads of onr merchants, so that nobody here is the least benefited by this exchange. But the thousand dollars that passes. out of the county through the Post Office. (laid out for P. O. orders) ia probably not the half or fourth of the aggregate that goos out each week, for bills of exchange or checks are used in cases ot large amounts. The amounts saved by this system of trade is too trifling to talk about, and whens we take into account the great dam- age that must result iotonly te the mercan- tile iuterest, but to our section in particular, we are surpri-ed that good and sensible men are engaged init. The people of a country that don’t have merchants and markets ot their owa convenient and among them, are mere bewers of woud and drawers of water for foreigners They built up cities and seetions and work for men whose preaperity they can in no way enjoy. The policy therefore of send ing off for articles that our people can make is most ruinous. Grass and Clover .—At our solicita- tion Mr. M. L. Hotmgs weighed the erop of clover and grass on his lot, referred to week be- fore last, and we give-tbe following result : Bize of let, 1} acres. Total quantity of hay, 8,830 Ibs. Clover and orchard grass, nicely cured as this was, is worth $1 per 100 tbs. This one cutting, therefore, is worth $88.30. Deduct cost of saving, $6.70 and we have aclean balance of 81. Add to this the seeond or Fall erop, which will not probably be so large, and we havean annual result of about $150. Every farmer can make his own remarks on this subject. It is certainly worthy of their at- tion. Ifa little pains taking to raise hay on upland, free from weeds, briare, willows, &,, is so well rewarded, why may we not have fat | cattle, and butter and milk in great abundance. | Rich feed, as every body knows, makes rich milk and fine butter. ‘There is nothiog hetter for this than clover. A few of our farmers! above town are proving this by an annual ad- dition to the grounds given tu clover. It makes fat cows, hogs, horses, sheep, &c. It requires manure and nice labor to get it well set in the soil, but if properly treated, it never fails to pay back a bandsome profit, What pays belter > works of righteousness which we have done, ‘but according to his merey he saved us” &e. ; Titus iil, 5 | The grounds of our salvation are not ethical | but evangelical. God does not require of us i any initial goodness, any preparatory works, lasa ground for his mercy and forgiveness, for anch would be impossible in the nature of thc cuse, and deceitful above all things, and io it there is no gerin or seed of good, out of which the fruits or works of righteousness might be evoiv- red, here is no starting point, and the sirner lif left to begin or work out his own. salvation would inevitably be lost. Good” worksare not lis ve depreciated, but they are evidences of of sanctification, rather than instruments of justification. Let every sinner come to Christ just now, without waiting to get ready, without waiting to begin the work of salyation himself, for that is a vain endeavor, Come now, come as you are, and Christ will accept and save you. AtSr. Luxe’s Episcopan Cucrca, the Rev. F. J. Murdoch, Rector,—althongh labor. ing under eevere indispusition—held three services during the day, asusnal. Ie preached an excellent sermon, at 11 o’clock, A. M. ser- vice, taking his text from the I St. John, iii, 19, 20,21. ‘And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.” Mr. Murdoch said; St. John here lays down the rule by which alone we can truly judge whether we are the children of God. Conscience is the only true test, We frequently hear per- sons say, that they receive new lights from God in answer to prayers. But this will not do as arule. We wust allow something to the imag- ination. And even if it be true that this assur- anceof having received the new light into their hearts was real at the time,—it does not prove that they are still in the same state of favour with God. But St. John knew only one rule— that mentioned inthe text. In the sacraments of Baptism, the Lord’s supper and Absolution it is commonly—and truly—said that the peo- ple receive the forgiveness of sins. But we all know, that it is only the penitent faithful, who receiye any grace or benefit. Impenitents coming, to the sacraments receive the greater condemnation. The priest cannot look intoa man’s heart—no man can read the heart—and if the priest deciars tc a sinner that his sins are forgiven, it is upon the assumption, that the sinner is truly penitent. In order for a man to be assured that his life is right before God, there must be a thorough examination of him- self before his couseience. An off-hand verdict will not do. And one -question we must al- ways ask ourselvesis: Do we unfeignedly re- pent and believe now? Some of the signs of faith and repentance are these—(1) Godly’ sor- row (2) Carefulness to avoid temptation (3) Clearing of ousselves (4) Confession (5) Fear of the Lord (6) Change of ways—and of mind— which is the greatest sign of all. ‘‘Au evil tree cannot bring forth good fruit, neither can a good tree bring forth corrupt fruit.” It will be noticed, that the text does not say that even after a thorough trial of ourselves at the bar of conscienee, we shall infallibly know that we are in the path of safety—but that then we shall have “confidence toward God”—As a, general rule it is safe for a Chgistian to trust the voice of conscience—which is the messenger and candle of the Lord. At THE Meruopist Episcopal, Cures, Rev. Leo. W. Crawford preaehed from Math- ew 18th chapter 27th and 28th verses. ‘‘Then answered Peter and said unte Him, Behold we have forsaken all and followed thee, what shall we haye therefore?” In the 28th and 29th verses will be found the reply of Jesus. The circumstances under which this enquiry waa made by Peter, is spt forth in the context; enterprize they have displayed in the estab- | The heart of man is desperately wicked ! He professed to have kept all the command- ments, when Christ commanded shim ¢p sell all that he had, give up everything, and come and follow him. Peter heard this, and hence his question. “Ye shall receive an hundted fold, and shall inherit eternal lite,” answered the Master. Not that we shall receive an hundred houses, literally, for one given to God, ‘but an hundred fold in rea), genuine happiness in this life, and joy and bliss in the world to eome. Worldly possessions are transitory and unsat- isfactory, hence our Savior offers heavenly pos- seasions and pleasures which are permanent, perfect and glorious. The tollower of Christ shall be abundantly rewarded, and hie reward will be such as only an omnipotent God can -bestow. For “it hath not entered intothe mind of man to conceive what things God hath in stored for them that love Him.” COMMUNICATED. Evrrors WATCHMAN. So far as I bave been able to gather the public sentiment of the county. your article of last week is somewhat in error, as in con- nection with the probable nominations for the Convention you failed to mention the name of one gevtléinan who has paramount claims for the positivn, and for whom I feel assured a majority if oot all of the town- ships will cast their vute on the first ballot. I need hardly say that I allude’ to‘Joun S. HENDERSON, Esq., than whom Rowan boasis no more worthy or capable citizen. Four years ago Mr. Henderson - was ane of the nominees for Convention, and the able aud victorious canvass which he then made against the greatest odds, is still fresh in the winds of our peuple, and entitles him, I think, to some honorable recognition at their hands, Aside from this, Mr. H. is a gentleman of a high order of talent, worki-g habits, and irreproachable ietegrity,—just the kind of nen We want in the Convention. These remarks are intended in no unkind or disparaging spirit towards o:her gentlemen whose naines have been mentioned iv this counection, but only to correct au erroneous impression which seems to haye gotten abroad. T need not add that this hasty article is written without Mr. Henderson’s knowledge or consent. TT.

Foaro—Dear Sir:—Yonr note of the 10th inst., fnclosing your advertising circular of the Eupeptie Springs, is received, and | must applaud you for the spirit with which vou enter nto this matter. Tam aware that the Enupeptic Spring have long had a reputation for their efficacy is Dyspepsia, General Debility, Dysmenorrli@a, Renal diseases, &e., and I must think that no Springs in the worid are more auspicionsly located yor lung diseases, as you certainly have a pure atmosphere to breathe, and the purer the air the less labor is required of the lungs to supply the swstem with the necessary oxygen. Staying all wight with you last winter a year, [ was struck with the remarkably cool night, compared with the previous one, and my attention was this drawn to reasons why you have such a pure atmosphere at you place, t. e., you are just tt the outlet (not of the Gulf Stream, but of a health stream,) a valley, or successson of valleys, running North West and South Eeast, crossing the Appilachean chain of mountains at the head of the North Fork of New Kiver, then still further in a direct line through the Brushy moun tains, through the [unting Creek Gap, running, aa that stream does, entirely hrough that chain; tnd then there is only an undulating ridge between Huntin: C--ek and Kocky Creek, upon which your Springs are situated. ‘bese facts will be perfi o's ;.atent to any ‘one acquainted with the topography of the country. <LI must think that the Lupeptic Springs will and should be a place of resort to persons with week lungs. KF. HACKETT, M.D. [From the Statesville Landmark, August 1st, 1874 ] THE EUPEPTIC SPRINGS.—-These springs are located in Iredell county ,fifteen miles from States- le, Atno distant day they are destined to become the most popular resort for invalids in the ‘ite, The mineral properties of dhe water are so admirably combined that invalids and chil dren drink it with avidity. -‘The Physicians in this seétion pronounce the waters a@ spicific for Dyspepsia, Chills, Dropsy, Scrofula, Kheumatism, and other diseases arising from a deranged liver. A number of certificates before ug attest the virtue of the water, and fully sustain. the opinions expressed by a nunrber of onr leading physicians. The Proprietor, Dr. Foard, is a cul- ‘ivated gentleman, and a most genial lost. Fis object is to make these Springsa quict retreat for invalids. where every comfort can be had at every season of the year, and upon the most rea- sonuble terms, The subjoined extract from a letter written by Mr. James South sole, we can cbeerfully endorse: While in Iredell county, a few weeke since, I visited the Eupeptic Springs. whieh have a rep- wation in Western North Carolina for curing many of the most obstinate cases of Dropsv, Dvs- bepsia, &c. 1 was pleased.to see go many improvements in the buildings and other appointments about the place. One can spend a few months here very comfortably and quietly. A good breeze at night admii.‘sters to the eomfort of sleepers, and although the midday is warm, the visitor is repaid by the delightful mornings and evening. ‘Lie water is pleasant to the taste, and gives one an appetite which is damaging tu.féme mutton, beef and chickens to be found there. Dr. Jno. board, the proprietor ofthese Springs, is a host within himself, and well known in many sections of the State. All who may patronize this watering place may be assurred ofa hearty wel- come and good table comforts. I do most cheerlally recommend the Eupeptic Springs to inva- lids who desire to be really benefited. “ JERUSSLEM, Davie County, N.C. January 19th, ’70. Dr, J. F. Foarp.— Dear Sir :—Last stanmer I recommended ‘a lady vaueae to ae your Mineral Springs, near Olin. She had been saffering from all the usial consequences of biliary derangement, until the svatem had become intolerant of medicine of every kind. She came back much improved, and I have had very little trouble with the case since. . : A. W. WISEMAN, M. D. . . Roxporo, N. C. January 8th, ’70. _ This is to certify that, from knowledge of the frequent use and the benefit of Dr. J. F. Fuard’s Eupeptic Spring, to myself and others, whether the water be immediately taken from the Spring or kept at home, hesitate not to recommend it as truly worthy the name it bears. In the sum. mer of 1863, my wife, who waa suffering from nervous prostration, and of whose life I had, for a long time, well nigh dispaired, was decidedly benefitted by spending a few weeks at this Spring being as she thinks, permanently relieved of a weakness of the breast, with which she had been for many years aiflicted. «Under samuch obligation to this Spring, 1 would be highly gratified to know that it is meeting with that patronage which it so well deserves. (Signed) M. C. THOMAS, Member of the N. C. Conference, M. E. Church South, By the advice of physicians and other friends, I was induced tc bring my family, in July last to the Eupeptic Springs, where they have remained until the present with very great advantage, and such is my estimation of the waters, (for there are several Springs) thatd have no hesitancy in recommending them to persons whose diseases are such as not mentioued in Dr. Forad’s printed circular. In facts, during this, season J know several persons cured of chills long stand- ing in leas. than a month, and conversed. with many others who were relieved of the chills and other diseases, or whose friends were benefitted by coming here. The case of the wife of Rey E..N. Gwyn, who returned here this seasun, to be perfectly restored, is a wonder to all who knew her eighteen months ago. (Signed) REV. RK. A. MOORE, Ag’t A M.

Chivch Bouth in 1870, my little son about six years of age, was very soddenly and strangely attacked with dropsy, which had well nigh resulted fatally. By advice of the attending physician I was in- duced to take him to the Eupeptic Springs, and try the virtues of the water in connection with the medicine given. The result Was most happy. He began to improve forthwith, and was svon pronounced well, Hus restoration was as permanent as it was speedy, and his health better " BS des ; i since, ae or 4. year prior to this atta¢k 7 Form my kngwledge of the water, and my acquain- Ss Excieg, | tance with the persor's who have testified of its character in the circular of Dr. Foard, ox Hon.

Then he tried to say, “Willie,” in her tones, and, as a look of impatient disgust marked his conscious- ness of failure, he put on his cap and went out. The haunting vuice became a presence, all too soon. As Will came home she met him in the passage; a little, swift gliding figure, with soft dark eyes set ina fair face.—‘“‘Not a bit like mother,’ he thought, with a carious feeling of satis~ faction ; but as he passed, he saw that her eyes were humid with fear and grief. “What is the matter? ” be asked invol- antarily. “Willie! cholera! the doctor !’’ she an- swered, rushing by, into the street that was wet with a stormy rain. “Stay! Ican go faster,” cried Will following her. ‘You go back to your brotier.”” She obeyed .at ouce with the quick docility of a gentle intelligence ; and he thotght again, ‘Mother would have talked for an hour.” The doctor came soon, but not soon enough. Willie was very ill. Bravely the little fellow struggled, but the foe was too strong for him. “Strange,” the doctor muttered impas tiently ; “the last cases are so often the worst. I thought it was over for this year.” A week before another Jodger in the same house, a gluttonous man, had made himself ill feasting on mussles and plums and beer; he recovered ; but the poison thus brought into the house fastened on the weakest there. Thechild died. T'here was nothing more to be done for him. All at once, for the first time in his little lite, Willie wanted—nothing; not even his sister. She went about her necessary work with an oppredsive, bewildered sense of leisure upon her. And Will—if the joyous voice alone had distracted him so, how could he work now ?—now that it recalled the meek, desolate face of the mourner; now that the cry had changed into such a pitiful, beseeching ‘Willie ! Willie !” The day after Willie was burricd it happened that Will paid hia rent, and took that opportunity to inquire after his fellow lodger. “Poor young thing,” said the mother landlady, “‘it makes my heart ache tu see her, up there in the little room, where they were 8o happy, those two. She says the very walls scem written with his name, and the things ke used to touch ery “Alice, Alice,” just as he called for her, at the last; it is enough to craze her; there isn’t an empty room in the house, or she should have it for a bit.” “Ask her to change with me,” said Will eagerly ; “tell her I ehould “be 80 glad, if she would not mind, the light there would suit me better.” Alice consented doubtfully. “It seems like deserting Willie,” she said; ‘and | yet no one has a right to let one get ill; >| tell Mr. Blake I accept hia offer grate~ fully.” She had grown a little stately in her solitary grief, and Will stammered over his premeditated speech. “My name is Willie, too ; could'nt you take me for your brother?” ‘Ob, no,’ she answered with direct sim. plicity, ‘“‘he was so naughty, the darling ; ») T uever could have him out of my thoughts for a moment.’ Alice herself, had this kind of naughti- ness for Will, and now, living ia her room, he seemed to be encompassed by her presence ; his tocls and work felt rough and coarse amidst the little dainty ars rangements that marked a womanly hand. ‘If it hadn’t been for knowing mother,’ he mused, one evening, “I might fall in love, I do believe ; as it is, I know bet- ber.’ So “knowing better,’ he shrank from an intercourse that might, in some sharp answer, bring Alice down from her pedes- tal, on which he still chose to place her, justifying his bright dreams to himself by saying, ‘it is pleasant to ‘make believe,’ as the children say.’ Alice, meanwhile, had found a cheering employment in putting Will’s room straight, as she called it. ‘Such a pity, poor man, for bim to live in such a mud- dle, and him so clever too.’ She found some torn drawings in the littered fireplace, and earefully smoothed them out as treasures overlooked.

SHERMAN’S “MARCH TO THE SEA!” A TERRIBLE EXCORIATION OF THE KING OF BUMMERS. Grant Need Not Envy Him— William Gilmore Simms and the Federal Brigands.

Of all the brutal, infamously bru- tal, affaires that the history of the Ameri- can war chronicled, Sherman’s ‘March to the Sea,” of which the world has heard so much, was the crowning disgrace, if disgrace could crown an inhuman, barba- ric epoch. Men, to defend the homes and firesides of mothers, wives, sisters and little ones hardly able to toddle, there were none. Ruthless, long continued war, a campaign of years, had sacriticcd the limited fighting material of a population of nive millions.

Men, patriots, trae soldiers, who were fighting for a holy principle, would have died ere they engaged in such a devil’s carnival. besought mercy, and prayed to Sherman’s fiends with clasped hands that their ward- robes, and their food might he spared; but those brayes (7) heeded them not, and the devouring flames were fed with all the tible, unless gold and silver were found, in which caee this was claimed as “‘loat,” and to-day many a New England sides board displays trophies gallantly won by the noble Sons of Mars (2) in struggles with veak and defenseless, overpowered women, during Shermau’s wonderful “March to the Sea.’ We never shall forget the tone, looks and bearing of the deeply lamented Simms, the poet and novelist of South Carolina, as he sat in the office of this journal, and mournfully de- tailed the passage of Sherman and his bummer through the beautiful city of Columbia, his place of residence. Poor Simms was atthe time away from his charming home, a home filled with and surrounded by every luxury that wealth, and refined, cultivated taste could gath-~ er together. Hia lovely family of daugh- tera were there aloue, with only the nes gro servants of the plantation to protect them. The vandals came and pillaged, robbed, destroyed and burned, and that which they could not easily carry away, destroy, or consume by fire, in the line ot food, they, with a barbarity and bratality that would have disgraced Hottentots or Australia Bushmen, or the Digger Indians of America, so befouled, that it was food ne longer. This picture, with its terrible and infamous filling up which we will not attempt here, Gilmore Simms gaye us a year after the soul-sickening event. That man had lived sixty years with his heart full of luve for humanity. He had look» ed kindly on his fellowmen everywhere. His writing showed his warm, genial sympathy with all mankind. He had basked in the sunshine of life, honored aod respected, and he was unprepared for the startling proof that there were speci- mens of humana beings on earth whose organism were lower iu the scale of hu- manity than brute beasts.

In certain loeal- ities the injury to the winter wheat by frost and drought has been serious, bat this may be neatralized in some measure by the increase iu the acreage. The reports of the serious injury io Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri from the grasshopper and chineh-bug prove to be greatly magnified; indeed it was an “im- mense humbug,” and the wonder is tbat so mauy intelligent persons have been misled by it. ‘The aceounte from these} States are certainly far more encouraging, where the injury from frost was no doubt serious, but recent rains have done much good, and the same is trne of Illinois, Indianna, Ohie and Michigan; but from Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas the reports are unfavorable. ‘Telegraphic advices from California are quite favora- ble; the harvest hae been progressing about ten days in the wheat growing counties of the State, and the result is uite as tavorable as we could expect, The advices from Oregon are even more favorable than from California, and a lib-~ eral supply is promised—esiimated from both States at 400,000 tons—though we think it permature to give sach estimates, and therefore do not attach much impor- tance to them.

The object of our visit gras to aticnd the Press Canvention. To say that our association with the mem- bers of the State Press there assembled was most agreeable; that onr reception and entertainment by the eaterprizing and public spirited citizens were most cor- dial and boantiful; that we were captiva~ Wed by the attractions and capacity ot Wil mingtou's port, —is to state our convictions very mildly. We intended to have much to say about the advantages, the pleas- ures, and the results of our editorial gatheriogs; about the hoapitality and good cheer of oar entainere; the attractions ef Wilmington and her great commercial importance as a port,—to speak of the Steamer Raleigh, her jolly Captain, the gallant Maffit, and the rest of our com-~ ions to the sea; the excellent lecture of the irrepressible and inimitable Vance, and many other things; but we are still gompelled to defer it, until we can take ghem up seriatim and give to each that gonsideration its importance merits. ee ter Never was a more important plection to be held in the State than that appointed for the selection of delegates go the Convention, next August. The Aelegates to be choosen are to make for the people of North Carolina a Constitu- tion under which they may have to live for perhaps a half century or more. If it garg out to be g good Constitution and aceeptabie to the people, they will be likely to live happily aud prosper under it. If it turn oat to be oppressive and unsuited to their wants, they will not be contented or be likey to live cuntented or grow pros. perous under it. It is therefore a matter ef very grave concern to the people of North Carolina whether they have a good or a bad Constitution. people, the weal of the State, and the happiuess and prosperity of all depend ppon it. And the character of the Constitution will depend upon the character of the men the people send to Raleigh to make it. It the delegates are first class—if they are men in whom the people‘have confidence, men of ability, their work will stand the test of legal criticism and prove ac- geptable to the people. But if the people pend demagogues, whiffling politicians, time-servers, or ignoramuases, the Con- atitution they make will be worse than if made by negroes, scalawags or carpetbag- gers ; for if these get a chance to make a Constitution it will not be difficult to understand—it will be bitter, proscrip~ tive, tyrannical and essentially agrarian while the others will make a Con- atitation that will be altogether unintelli. gible and the source of unending litigation. There are two important matters then thatthe people must guard against in pelecting delegates to the Convention, and shese are: First, if they would rid them- selves of the fountain head of all that is vena), oppressive and detestible in politics, | and base and hypocritical in society, shey will spew out Radicalism everywhere, aad refuse to vote for any one who aida or abets oris in any way connected with the in- tamous Civil Rights, aegro-worshipping, miscegenating Radical party. It has cursed the whole country and the State with moral leprosy for the last ten years. Everything it has touched it has polluted. To give it a further lease of power is sim. ply to commit moral and political saicide— to surrender ibe State over to self confess- edrobbers, convicted thieves, and civil right advocates, No greater calamity could befall the State. ‘I'ne seven plagues of Egypt were nothing compared to the ruin and distress that would follow the restora- tien to power of Radicalism in North Merolina. It is therefore the sacred duty pf every citizen who has any interest in promoting the walfare of the people of his own State, or who desires to see the whites protected from degrading association with gn inferior race, to work from now antil the day of election and then deposite his vote against every Radical that may offer, no matter how mild or temporate he may profess to be. Ja the second place, it is of great im-~ ance that our best men are selected as yates, and that all iguorant demas gogaes, would-be candidates, and seekers after the position, be caat aside before the piay fixed for making nominations. If the people heed these two things, the work of ycforma will uot only be began, but aveur- The good of the} wn. ; "Boss Tweed, of N.Y.

We suppose there was some error in the procegdings that convicted him or want of jurisdiction on the part of the Court.

The way of the transgressor is hard. —— The sickening Beecher scandal case ig drawing to a close, Whatever the ver- dct, one thing will always remain fixed in the minde of a very large majority of the American people, and that js, that Beecher is not only an adulterer, but a perjarer. He and his Church have made a desperate effort to cover up his crimes and disprove the evidence against him, but they have most sigually failed, Gold frem Plymouth charch has been thrown broadcast like seed wheat, but apparently to no purpose. Itis believed that many of the northern papers were bought up early in the contest, and directed to defend Beecher, right or wrong. ‘This suspicion is strengthened by the persistent and unreasovable course many of them have pursued, and the blind partisan defence given to Mr. Beecher. tis said the N. Y. Tribune is paid $10 a column for its reporta. But this is only one paper in the pay of the saints. There are others. There have been cities destroyed for crimes not a whit worse than those that have been committed under the eye and by the moral sanction of Plymouth Charch. —- ~~ LETTER FROM JEFFESON DAVIS He Goes Vigorously tor the Scalp of Gen. Sherman. The St. Louis Times of Friday pub- liahes the following letter from Mr. Jef- ferson Davis, addressed to Colonel W. F. Mellon, a former Confederate officer, toachiug certain matters in Gen. Shers man’s book : MeMPHIL, Tenn, May 27. My Deur Sir: Please aceept my thanks for your kind letter of the 19th instant, and the accompanying copy of a St. Louis paper containing an extract from the fortheoming work of Gen. W. 'T. Sherman. My absence delayed the re- ceipt of your letter and this reply to It. The malice that seeks to revive the nefariously concocted and long since exs ploded slander whieh connected my name with the assassination of President Lin- colu is quite in character with the man who so conducted his invasion of the Sovth as torender “Sberman’s bummeis” the synonym oes arson, cruelty to the helpless, and murder of non-combatants, and who closed his career of arson with a false accusation against Gen. Hampton in regard to the burning of Columbia, South Carolina. But the question arises, why did Gen. Sherman at the date of his reported con- versation with Geu. J. E. Johnston sup- pose me capable of complicity in the as- sassination of President Lincoln 2? Geveral Sherman never was personally acquainted with me, and from those who knew me, either in the United States army or in civil life, surely learned noth~ ing to justify such suspicion. In the conduct of the war between the States, despite of many baseless accusations, we cau proudly point to a record which shows a strict adherence to the usages of war betweeu civilized nations. On what, then, did the suspicion of Gen. Sherman rest? Was it not that, proceeding on the rule of Judging others by oueselt, he as- cribed to me the murderous and malicious traits of bis own nature } He reports a conversation with Presi~ dent Lincoln, from which is to be inferred a desire to have authority for departing from the course which as a soldier he must have kuown was asual and proper towards prisoners of war. Did he hopé to get instructions for the slaughter of the Confederacy’s President and cabinet offix cers, as set forth in the orders of Col. Dablgreo, when he made his raid against Richmond? If the good-natured, cbarac- teristic reply of President Lincoln taught him that murder was not the approved measure, it seems to have failed to iuspire him with the generosity and chivalry whichever adorn the character of the true soldier and gentleman. among the articles of the surrender of General J. E. Johnson there was one prohibiting military expeditions in the country east of the Cattahoochie river.— ‘That was the best consideration obtained for the surrender of armies, arms, muni- tions and manufactories in that section, and it was in violation of that article that the brigade of cavalry, by which I was captured, was scouring the country and freely taking from the unprotected pecs ple the little which was left to them for their future subsistence. From the atate- ment of Gen, Sherman we learn that a story had been told, to the effect that I was carrying iu wagons millions of specie to the South, and, therefore, we are left to conclude, was made that expedition in violation of the agreement of surrender. ‘Though the story of the millions of specie ig now admitted by General Sherman to have been a fiction, the admission is made in such terms as would lead the reader to suppose I had been traveling with wagon trausportation, and had a few thousand dollars of specie in avalise. Bat neither supposition would be true. I had recen- tly joined the wagon train, and was about to leave it when captured; my only bag- gage was a valise, which waa packed gn a mule, and it coutained no specie. The few thousand dollars of specie were ina pair of saddle-bags belongjog jo Secretary Reagan. Whether that money ever reached the United States’ Treasary Mr. Reagan, from which it was taken, may be able tu carn after he shall have as. sumed his fanctions, as ~a. Representative! in the United States Congress. Should the course of the commanding general of the army; in attempting at this late dey to resuscitate a defunct ‘slander against the President of the late Confed- eracy, and to which slander not even suborned witnesses could give the sem- blence of truth, be taken as the exponent of the feeling of the army, that arm of the general government would seem to be ill- suited to the task, of late so largely assi- goed to it, of preserving civil order and of restoring harmony among the people of the United States. For public congider- ations jt {is to be hoped that the ineradica- ble malignity of Sherman may be an ex- ception to the prevailing sentiments of the United States army. Again thanking you for your friendly consideration, I am very truly yours, JEFFERSON Davis. -——_—-—-_--—_-— For THE WATCHMAN. RATHER HASTY. Messrs. Epirors :—Your article of last week, headed “ Ruinous,”’ seemsto me rather basty iu its conclusions. The first proposition of importance is, “that uo body here is the least benefited by this exchange,” to wit: “sending specigl or- ders’’ directly to Northern House for articles which A, B or C may require for his own nee, instead of buying them of oue of our home merchants, I cannot perceive, gentlemen, how you artjve at the conclusion “that no body here is the least benefited” by this sort of direct trading except ‘upon the supposition that the buyer pays his Northern merchant ag munch as he would have to pay the home merchant. This then is the point. A little lower down you adinit that the buy- er does save sumething — “is bencfited” a little, by this system of direct tradiug thus :—‘‘the amount saved by this system of trade is too trifling to talk about,’ and then you tell us of the damaging—ruinous effect of it “fon the merchantile interest’ atbome! What you say of being “hew- ets of wood and drawers of water for foreigners,” &c., would apply very well inanarticleon the general subject of home production, but as between these two systems of trade—direct and iuderect —it has no application to one that it has not to the other. Both are alike in their tendeucy, leading to the same inevitable results. What can be the difference if a buyer here sends his money directly toa Nortbero merchant instead of paying it into oue of our stores to be sent theuce as directly to the Northeru merchant? His money goes out of the State in either cage, and 30 far as we know the profits of, the Noriheru merchant is neither more nor less whether it reaches him from the consumer direct, or through the Southern merchant, indirect. Now as to “the amouut saved by this system” to the consumer, I suppose there is no way of ascertaining it. You say ‘it ia too trifling to talk about,’ but gentle- men, you do not tell us bow much or how little it ig; nor do you even give a hint as to how it may be ascertained. If ‘it is too trifling to talk about, you ought not to | have mentioned it; or else you should have presented some statement of the source of your information—a sort of finger board pointing to the way where might be seen how uifling the amounts | are. I suppose you really think thea mounts are very small, and if others were in possession of the facts which control your mind, they too might think as you do. But in the absence of such infurma tion it cannot be surprising if othera shall form a different opinion. 1 have heard of examples, for instance, in emall articles, where upon a comparison of rates demand- ed at our home stores aud those paid for the same articles ov direct orders, there was a difference of 300 per cent. I have known of other similar instances wherein the difference ranged from one hundred to two hundred and fifty per cent. And then again, Ihave kuown of iustances where more was paid thau the article would have cost at home, ‘This may happen very often. But how can you venture upon euch isolated facts to deduce from them the sage condusion that “the amounts saved are too trifling to talk about 7” And with what amount of well grounded “surprised”? may you hold up your hands with horror “that good and sensible men are engaged” in this “ruin- ous” system of direct trade! Who does itruin? The home merchants? Admit it. Does the patent Reaper and Mower ; the Cotton Factory and Wool Carding Machine ; the steam engine aud the rail road, hurt nobody ? I faer you are stand- ing on the track of the great march of events, gentlemen, and may be crushed before you areaware of it. ‘Trade, nor the laws of trade, in some of their relations at least, are fixed, ‘They are changing with all the o:ber changes which are going on around us. The rapid commu. nication between the great centers of trade and the outlying commodities upou which it subsists, accomplished by rail- roads and telegraphs, must just as cer- taiuly accomplish great chauges in the modes of duing business as these new and extraordisary facilities differ frou the old facilities. May the old-time reaper, with reap hook iu hand, enter the field against the Buckeye reaper and be “surprised ’ that he can’t keep up; or hold up his Lauds with herror “that good aod sensible men are engaged in it;”” may he cry out “ruinous,” and not expect to be laughed at; or stand ia the way and not be trampled beneath the hard hoof of iron or steel, driven by sieam or horse- power? So then may you expect in these ways to reverse the new laws of trade and restore the old. ‘I'rade more readily adapts itself to every changed that affects it than you can coerce it into unnatural chanels, or in obedience to laws against its interest. You may build railroads, cut canals, open banks, aud heap up stores of goods atany poiut you please, and whilst it is admitted that these advantages arc in themeelves locally important and valuable, yet if there is a cheaper market thav yours within convenient reach, trade will fow out and away from you by the very means by which you invited it. In conclusion it bas occurred to me that the best possible thing that mer- chants in Salisbury, for instance, could do to keep up trade for themselves, would be to encourage, by all roeans ia their power, the producing interests of the surrounding country. A high state of development in this direetion would neo- essarily imply a'*>-*'~ "| ~--03 ngmber ——— and mor inlelligent class” of pepdteenn aud this\would create an increased | trade, which is about all tlasany of our inland t¢wns bave any reasop (under ex isting citcumstances) vo expect. -- If-there be any who wish to discover good sub- jecta of horror at which to throw up their hands and exclaim “rainoue,” let me in. vite them to spend a day in riding through sections of the country where once all. was fresh and prosperous, and contrast it with the present impoverished and dilap. itated condition, (under the operation of free negro tenantage), and they will not search in vainy ‘Theewonder ia, not ‘‘that good and sensible men” are driven by necessity to seek the cheapest markets, but that they are able to obtajn in an impoverished, and over-trgding section like ours, money to gend to gny market whatever. GRANGER. i ce ree AN INVALUABLE TRAVELING COM- PANION. . Change of climate, water or diet is apt to in- duce harrassing and often dangerous diseases. The three changes combined are fatal to thous- ands of imigrants every year. Is it not, then, of the last importance to know that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are an absolute preventive of the’ hurtful consequences arising from these causes? Travelers, voyagers, and emigrants to new coustries cannot be too often reminded of the fact that this agreeable vegetable tonic is the most reliable safeguard against disorders to which they are far more liable than the habitual denizens of healihy regions. The primal effect of 4he unwhviesome atmosphere which produces what are called malarious fe- vers, is to depress and debilitate the system. Yhe body then becomes an easy prey to the malignant principle in the air. It is manifest, therefore, that the surest way to avoid all epi- demic avd endemic maladies of an intermittent type, is to counteract the weakening tendencies of missma by artificial invigoration. That Hos- tetters’s Stomach Bitters is the syrest resusci- tant of flagging vigor, is a fact which is best appreciated wherever influences inimical to health exist. Butitis not alone against ma- laria that they protect the system. They s0 toughen it as to enable it to endure with im- punity extiemes of heat and cold to which travelers are often subjected, and they neutra- lize those elements in unaccustomed or diet which would otherwise beget disorders of the stomach and bowels. The brackish water with which voyagers by sea are often compelled to quench their thirst, is apt to provoke dysentery and other serious complaints, but when the Bitters are mixed with it, it becomes harmless. Truly this great protective invigorant is an in- valuable traveling companion. New Advertisements. . FOR SALE. O. one pair of work Mules 5 & 6 years old, alsu a good wagou & harness. M.L.

The Fire Fiend !—On Monday night of this week, a destructive fire occurred at Rowan Mills, in this county. The magnificent steam flouring Mills of Messrs. Emmert & Bros., and the splendid machinery of the Rowan Handle works, together with all the stock on hand in both concerns, were totally destroyed. The loss is not less than fifteen thousand dollars, on which there is unfortunately, no insurance. The flames were discovered about two o'clock in the morning, by which time*they had so their long, Japping arms of fire, that nothing could be done to hinder their fierce and de- vouring progress. The origin of the fire is sup- posed to have been accidental. The loss falls heavily on the Messrs. Em- mert who are active, and most worthy business men. Luckey, Lyrely & Co., and Messrs. S- F. Lord, and S. R. Clarke are also among the losers, A Crop Without Labor,—Mr. A. L. John- son, of this vicinity, has just harvested an 8 acre lot of Winter Oats which cost no labor. The land was in oats last year, and after taking off| involved in debt individually, and by security, the crop, his cattle ran on the field until October, when they were taken off. The “stand” of volunteer oats was so promising about that time that Mr. J. concluded to. leave it undis- turbed, to see what it would do. The result was highly satisfactory : the best oats raised on his farm this year was on that :ot—the heaviest in head as well as much the largest yield in quantity. Mr. Johnson offers this extraordinary cir- cumstance as suggestive of several points of general interest to the farming community. He thinks seeding oats with a plow buries the seed too deep for a good stand, and that if put eens Re | Jeteron Davis haa been tendered, and Mechanical and Agricultural College at Bryan, at a salary of $4,000. A CARD. OFFIce or RgeGgisTER IN BANKRUPTCY, 2 nIsT. Salisbury, N. C. June 17th, 4875. It appears upon a careful examination of the opinion of Judge Blatchford for the Southern Disirict of New York, the most eminent Judge in Bapkruptcy in the United States, that the people of this District have not properly un- derstood the meaning of the 9th Section of the Act of June 22, 1874, (see 18th U.8. Statutes at large 189) with respect to the per centum on debts contracted prior to 1st of January, 1869. First.—On all debts contracted before Jan- uary, 1869, there is no per centum required whatever from the Bankrupt. SxeconpD.—On all debts contracted since Jan- uary, 1869, the Bankrupt is required to pay only 30 per cent of his individual debts proven in Bankruptcy. Or, if the Bankrupt can ob- tain the written consent of one fourth in num- ber and one third in value of those holding euch individual claims proven, can obtain his discharge in Bankruptcy. THIRD.—Any person thrown into involun- tary Bankrnptcy is not required to pay any abo feel Pe centum in order to enable him to obtain a discharge in Bankruptcy, nor is he required to obtain the written consent of his creditors. Fourta.—The Homestead will be allowed Bankrupts against all debts, except those that ripened into judgments before the adoption of the State Constitution of 1868. I take this to be the true meaning of the decision of the United StatesSupreme Court in the case of Gunn et al vs. Thornton et al. FirrH.—Bankruptcy fees have been reduced one half of what they were formerly, and in ordinary cases the fees will not exceed Fifty dollars, R. H. BROADFIELD, Register in Bankruptcy. BANKRUPTCY. Messrs. Epitors :— The people, it seems to me, ought to read carefully the card of R. H. Broadfield, Regis- ter in Bankruptcy, published in the Watchman, in relation to late rulings of Judge Blatchford, and of a decision of the U. S. Supreme Court. Doubtless there are many energetic business, and trading men in the country, who become before and during the war, who will now avail themselves of the opportunity, under said de- cisions, of relief. Respectfully, H. H. HELPER. ——— CHURCH NOTES. SERMONS LAST SUNDAY. Avr THE Metuopist Episcopal CHURCH, Rev. Leo. W. Crawford, preached the morning sermon from the text—“The fear of the Lord in with a harrow much less seed per acre would be required. He thinks, also, that a heavy roller to pack the land would be serviceable as a protection against frost and affording a firmer foot hold for the plant. Church Dedication.—The new Metho- dist church building at Mt. Harmony, 7 miles Southwest of this place was dedicated on Sun- day last, the Rev. Mr. Bruton, P. E., officiating. The ceremonies were simple and inostenta- tious, serious and impressive. There was avery large congregation in attendance Both the old and the new buildings wero filled and still there were many who could not obtain seats, Rev. Mr. Goode preached in the old building from II Peter, iii, 9; making the long suffer- ing of God towards sinners and tbeir final judgment, the main subject of his discourse. The congregation of Mt. Hamony is indebted tothe Jiberality of the venerable RicHARD Harris for the new building. Fall of years and good fruits, he is closing a long life of use- fulness by larger beneficence, humbly trusting that the God on whom he leans will accept and bless his offerings to the praise of his own great name, and to the comfort and happiness of those whu may worship there. It was pleas- ing to see his neighbors and friends going forward to take the dear old blind servant by the hand, thus testifying their affectionate re- gard for him. Turtle Soup.—The Proprietcr of the Boyden House treated his friends last week to Turtle Soup. The flesh of the sea turtle, more properly named tortwise, is highly esteemed as |a great delicacy, and hence turtle soup is a famous dish the world over. It is claimed that our fresh water snapping turtle shares in this celebrity, many persons asserting that it is as good in all points as his larger kinsman of the ocean, though we belioye it is very rarely acknowledged by catarers for the splendid board of fashionable Hotels, who, like fashion-fullowers in other things, make it a point to ransack the earth and the sea for rare things. Weconfess to feeling a little old-fogyish ourselyes, and don’t like the idea of going so far forso little. A squirrel, young chicken, or even a snapping turtle soup, with the simple addition of salt, pepper, and a little flour and vegetables, ie jnst about as good as your green turtle by the French cook alamode, spiced and wined until you can't tell anything about ft. By-the way, in general, Hotels are getting torua on two costly a scale; they fix up things too fine and too extravagant, and the man used to simple habits if he were to dive into one of them and yield to every teinp- tation would kill himself in about a week. Too much of a good thingis worse than not enough. for somebody is bound to be hurt by it. MT. ULLA TOWNSHIP MEETING. JuNE, 12th 1875. Public notice being previous given a portion of the voters met at Wood Grove, and was or- ganized by calling N. F. Hall, to the chair and J. K. Graham Secretary, the object of the meet- ing being explained. On motion a ballot was had for candidates to represent them in the State Convention, when Hon. B. Craige, and J.S. Henderson, were selected by said Town- ship. On motion the following delegates were appointed to represent eaid Township in the County Convention which meets in Salisbury, the first Saturday, in July. Viz:—J. W. Graham, J. F. Barler, J.S. McCubbins, Jno. Miller, J. M. Harrison, 8. R. Clark, C. Rankin, Jno. Nail, J. M. Barrier Phi. Alexander, S. F. Cowan, R. J. Sloan, J K. Goodman, O. W Atwell, J. S. Knox, Mouroe larger, R. L. Graham, J. A. Gray, J. E. Dollins, W. L. Kistler J. W. Emert, J. W. Miller, George Rex. J. W. Potette, J. 8. Hide, J. N. Morgan, on motion the President and Secretary were added to the list. It was moved and seconded that the proceedings of this meeting be pnblish- edin the Salisbury papers. On motion the meeti : "6 N. F. HALL, Chairman. Secretary. J. K. GRAHAY, is the begining of wisdom.” Psalm iii, first clause of the 10th verse. Not slavish, servile fear, not the crouching, authority-enforced fear of the minion, said the preacher, is here alluded to, but a filial fear, such as the son feels towards the father. Tis jis the feeling which God would have us culti- yate, and this {t is, which is said to be the be- /ginning of wisdom. We need to have this | fear of God, or rather thie filial love and respect | of his authority, in early life, Lecause we then Jay the foundation for our future lives, aye and | often for our eternal destiny, and in s0 weighty |a matter we need the sanction of the divine authority. Divine guidance is just as necessary to youth, as is paternal goverance. ‘Tne first | years of life—the first decade perhaps—form the character, and form it too under peculiar trials and temptations. In steering clear of the fatal rocks, and in choosing a vocation, youth sadly needs guidance from on high, that fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom. The consolatiohs of religion, the consequences or rather tbe results of this fear of God, shall descend e’en down to old age, and grow sweeter as the shadows are longer grown. At St. Luxe’s EpiscopaAL CHURCH, ser- mon preached by the Rev. F. J. Murdoch, Rector, from Gen. iv. 3, 4, 5.—“And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the first- lings of his flock, and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel to his offering : But unto Cain and his offering He had not respect.” Mr. Murdoch said : God requires the whole heart of man to be givento Him. And next to God we must love our neighbor. But God must have the first place in our hearts. God knoweth what things we haye reed of for our sustenace. And He does not command us to neglect these things. But He says to us—“seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteous- ness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” The teaching of the text, therefore, is we must all devote the first and best of everything we have to God—and first of our lives—boy- hood, and childhood and old age must all be devoted to Fis service. A special promise is made to those who seek the Lord early. Samuel, Obadiah and St. John were religious from their youth up—A parent cannot be too severely blamed, who will not attempt to dis- suade his child from making an open profession of faith in Christ ; 2nd, the first day of the week must be given to God’s service ; 38rd, and the first part of every day ; 4th, and finally we must give to God the first fruits of all our increase. The heathen world is still unconverted. The poor, who are Christs messengers, are always with us. The Lord’s House should be beauti- fied and adorned, And we ought to worship Him in the beauty of holiness. At Sr. JoHy’s LUTHERAN CHURCH, the Pas tor, Rev. J. G. Neiffer, preached the 11, A. M., sermon from I, Peter, v to xi. verses, inclu- sive. Here, said Mr. Neiffer, we are taught to sub- mit ourselves one to another. Humility isa christian virtue, and it is necessary for the faith- ful discharge of christian duty. Under all circumstances we are to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, and_ confidently cast all our cares upon him. In due time, and in the best time for our good and His glory, He will exalt us. By watchfulness and prayer we may thwart the plans of the devil to destroy us, and these are the christians weapons in the great spiritual warfare. Though the faithful have trials, temptations, afflictions and sufferings in this life, on account of thier sins, yet God will not continue the trials of His people longer than their good requires. When this end is accomplished He will bring them forth ag gold from the furnace, fitted for eternal joys beyond this vale of tears, where not only the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest, bgt where the rose blooms in pergnpial beauty, lee Ar ram Finer Parssyeecisn Cavance, Rev. » the Presidency of. the Texas | J. G. Allison, of Concord, N.

These last words imply an awful doom, eternal in dura- tion, and terrible in character’ which shall sure- ly overtake the dispisers of reproofs. Mr. Allison’s manner is. elear, rapid, and earnest, without being noisy or vebement, and his early efforts give bright promises of a suc cessful and useful career. ———_->-——_—-_—- Buell on Sherman. All the hornets, wasps, bees, yellow jackets, ete., ete., in the land, North and South, are after the Brilliant Bammer. Here ia what Gen. Don Carlos Buell, of Kentucky, one of the ablest of the North ern Generals during the late war, bas to say ot the ‘Memoirs :” ‘Tbe peculiarities cf the anthor are sania marked to give assurance that as often as he speaks there will be abun- dant room for criticism ; so much, in fact, as almost to bewilder criticism. I do not know what amount of attention his recent work beatows on my acts, What I have seen on that subject relates to the battel of Shiloh, and is in srbstance only a continuation of his former efforts to con- ceal the faults and misrepresent the facts of that battle. I long ago answered bis avsertions cancerning that event with evidence that must, I believe, be deemed conclusive when the account ccmea to be balanced.” a os Democratic Address. We publish to day the Address of the North Garvlina Democratic Gentral Execu- tive Committee in regard to the importance. of electing the right surt of Delegates to the Gonstitutional Conventiou which meets in Raleigh ou September 6th. It is, indeed, an important matter, and we hope thu Delegates will be selected without regard to whether they live in town or eoun- try. Avy sort of men may do for the Legis- lature, but the very best men in the State should be sent to a Convention to make a Constitution for the government of every Department of the State. The restrictions imposed by the Ligislature in calling the Convention are of uo binding force on meinbers, but we are willing to en- dorse anything that is eousidered for the best interest of the State aud her citizens. We hope no one will vote for a Delegate who is not in favor of requiring the pay- ment of a tax of some sort ofa quiification for a voter, We are pleased to see that the Address is headed ‘'Democratic.” instead of the un- meaning title of'C onservative-Democratic.”’ The oaly party in this country that has inaugurated or proposes Reform is the Na- tional Democratic party, as represented by such menas Gov. Hendricks of Tudiaua. Gov. Allen of Ohio, and other good and true Natioual Democrats in the North aud North- westwo States aud Southern States. If the election of Judges is not restored to the Legislature by the proposed amendments to the eoustitution, then the partizan friends of the elective Judges by popular vote, will have coutrol over the Gonrts instead of tue Judges themsclyes.—Charlotte Democrat. —— — + In a private letter from Rev.

The g t leading rule is that no ove has it be in the middle of the road, highway. which claim he has precisely the same right to assert when traveling in the same direction that he has when he meets another, This is the law of every State in the Union, and, so far a8 we are informed, of every civilized country; and all persons violating it are ljable for all damages re- sulting oe their conduct. When teams meet, the American law is that each. turning to the right, shall give half the road. The custom and the law of England requires to turm oat to the left, as expressed in an old duggerel : The rule of the road is a paradox quite ; In riding or driving along, If you keep to the left, you are sure to go right. If you keep to the right, you go wrong. In passing. the person in front is required to turn to the left, so as to allow the person in the rear, who is traveling at a more rapid pace, to pass by,on his right. Where teams approach at right angles, or intersecting roads, it is the duty of the per- gon who, by turning to the right, would ass to the rearof the otber team, to pull up. and allow the others to pass, In wide streets in towns or cities, these geueral principles should always be ubserved though from the necessities of the case per- sons are less strict in keeping on the proper side of the street, being frequently obliged, with proper care for the rights of others, to pass tu the other side, to avuid g crowd of other obstructions. A person with a light vehicle, meeting or desiring to pass a heavily-ladeo team, es- pecially if the latter is going up ahill. will geverally tyro ont without requiring the wan with a loaded wagon to give half the road ; but the law imposes no such obligation in any case, and, uuder all circumstances, requires each to give half the road, unless by accident or some obstruction it is found impossible to do so. If a person happens to be in the wrong place on the road or street, a person coming in collision with him is not entitled to dam- ages if, by the use of ordinary and reason- able diligence, he could have avoided it. nt Sheridan's ‘“Banditti.” In his series of Louisiana letters Mr. Obarles Nordhoff is answering several important questions, and setting at rest gome very ugly and malicious slanders. His last communication to the New York Herald takes up the question of who are the murderers who have been represented in such formidable number in Sheridan’s banditti reports. He chooses Natchito- ches Parish because it has become roto- rious as the most unruly one in the State, and he finds by reference to the official record properly authenticated, that the murders in that parish between 1868 and 1875 uamber forty-one. Of these there were thirteen whites killed by whites, thirteen colored men killed by negroes, four whites killed-by colored men, and three ¢olored men by whites, while the re maiuder were mostly murdered by per- sons unknown. ‘There is no evidence that any of these murders arose from pol- itical causes, and though happening under Republican rule, only one ct these forty one murderers was punished. But the abuse of the executive pardoning power has kept peace with the failure to entorce the law. Between January, 1873, and March, 1874, Governor Kellogg pardoned thirteen murderers and six men convicted of man-slaughter, while over sixty convics ted of other serious offences were also subjeets of his clemency. Mr. Nordhoff concludes from all his observations that “the ouly cause of disorder in the State lies in the corruption and iuefficiency of the State and Parish Government.”” What a commentary upon the reign of oppres- sion in Louiriana. —_—-— <> When Miss Anna Dickinson made: a tour through the South a few weeks ago, the older heads of the Democrat, the Home and the Salisbury Watchmnan, warued the press and the people of the State, against going to hear her, and encouraging this masculine behavior in women, but the advice was not regurded, Ihe press and people of Raleigh, Wil- mington aud Charlotte too threw up their hats tur Miss Dickinson. and now we are reaping our reward. Miss Dickinson has vewporarily ceased lecturing on the social evil and has gone golidly into polities of the Radical order. She lectured in Chicago recently aud displayed the ‘bloody shirt” like a veterar outragemaker. A report of her lecture says: ‘Miss Dickiuson then went on to speak of the poverty at the South and their feeling to the North as she had observed iu her re- gent visit there. Southerners were looking for reform, a new party, and then they ex- pected compensation for their liberated slaves. But it was the duty of the people of the North to see no change in party. It was uecessary to keep the party that secured victory for liberty in power and bold it over the heads of the South, Miss Dickinson closed by speaking of her visit to the graves of 12,000 soldiers in Salisbury, and 13,000 in Andersunville, and the message she re- ceived to carry to the North froin the fallen heroes who fought for liberty was that liberty was stili at stake.” This is what “tour Anna” says after she has filled her pockets with Southern money.

Rumors were current on the streets last evening that a large woods fire, in Upper Bern *fowushio: has destroyed barns and burnt many horses and cattle. Subsequently it was learned, from poeple who wére in at- tendance, that the woods near the new St. Michael’s Church, in that township, were accidentally set on fire during the dedicatory services in the afternoon, and that a number of horses and earriages were burned. These conveyed people to the church, and were tied up at arailing near the thurch and through the woods. Mr. Oliver D. Schock, the Eagle corres- pondent at Hamburg, was present at the fire. He writes that the consternation aud the scene that ensued were terribie beyond d&éscription It was about two o’clock in the afternoon, aud the church was packed. Rev. T. C. Lienbach, of Womelsdorf, was reading a Scriptural lesson, when of a sudden the ter- rible cry of fire was raised. Ono of the members rushed rapidly forward to Rev. Mr. Zweizig in the pulpit and inforined him that the dry trees and leaves of the adjoining grove were on fire, and that all the horses and carriages therein were being burned up. Mr, Zweizig immediately announced it, and a wild panic ensued. Everybody rushed to get out, and when the congregation reached the burning woods the flames shot up, and many of the poor horses were literally sur- rounded by the fire, the flames shvvting up fully twelve feet. The people at once set to work to extingnish it. The scene was terrible to behold. Horses neighed and whiuned in their agony; people screamed. men rushed backward and forward. excited and anxious to render assistance ; brave men rushed through the flames and cut the halter straps of the tied up horses; the animals then, finding themselves loosened, ran away, dashing the carriages against the burning trees ; men with rakes and clnbs, and other articles, set to work vigorously to beat out the fire ; women screamed and stood in ter- ror, viewing a seene that few people are ever called upun to witness, and abuye the noise and din of everything could be heard the dying shrieks ~ and groans of the poor horses, and the pistol shots sending bullets through the heads of tke animals to kill those that were burned almost to death. I shall never forget the sickening sight, and those that were present were ofthe saine opinion. All was hurry and excitement. A high wind prevailed, and heavy sparks descended hundred of yards away. At one time fears wereentertained that the church would be swept away in the fiery element, butthe work of brave and determined men spared that community from any further calamity. It was a terrible day far Upper Bern, and I saw men stand in tears viewing the suffer- ing of the dying hgrses as the flesh quivered with pain. The scene that followed 1s be- yond description. After the excitement was partially subdued, I learned that the woods had been accidently set on fire by a gentle- man who was lighting his cigar. A lighted match fell from his haads. Daring the ex- citement a gentleinau named Lukenbill, who was cutting the horses louse in the wouds, accidentally inflicted a serious wound in bis cheek, which was dressed by Dr. Potteiger, of Hamburg. [From the New York Bulletin.] A Wonderful Invention. An invention has recently been pats ented by a Philadelphia gentleman, which he claims to convert water without the aid of fire or chemicals into a motive power greater than that of steam, and which, by experiment, has given 14 tons pressure to the square inch, while a still greater capacity is claimed for it with proper machiney, and it is non-explosive. By a mechanic contrivance, Mr. Keely, the inventor, changes water from an unelastic fluid into an clastic fluid, which can be called by no better name than cold steam. [n other words, he obtains | from water, without using fire or chemi- cals, the power now obtained from water by fire and called steam. It is said to be a wonderful invention by those who have seen it tested, who state that it ac- ccmplishea all that is claimed for it by the inventor, and believe it ia destined to work a great revolution in the world—a greater revolution than that made either by the cotton gin, the steam engine, or the telegraph. These tests have been made before scientific experts, who pro- nounce it practicable, as indeed the or- iginal and often-repeated experiments of Mr. Keely prove. He first discovered the principle he has developed in his motor while attempting to make a power~- saving waterswheel, and a few years ago applied tue power to running stationary engines. ‘T’o test the power that had been obtained, Mr. Keely then made a eylinder of drawn copper, encased this in wrought iron, aud placed around both steel bands close together, making a pow- erful cylinder. The power was turned on, and the cylinder was torn to pieces in an instant. Then athree-horse power engine was built, and finally a fifteen- horse. These engines have been run in Philadelphia every day fora year, it is said, without the use of coal or wood, without the use of fire, and without the use of chemicals, at a cost of not one cent. The fifteen-horse power engine has been run tweptysthree consecutive hours with power manufactured in less than five minutes. The advantages claimed for it over steam, in addition to obviating the cost of fuel and delay of taking it, are thus stated : . _The emoke-stacks of steamboats will disappear, their boilers be taken out, and the great danger of fire aud explosion are removed. Its applicability is also said to be even greater than that of steam. These state- ments come well authenticated, and if correct it may prove to be a more wonder- ful discovery than that of steam, while its application may be far more universal. oS We are opposed, says the Winston Sentinel, to the ‘Do Nothing” policy ad~ vocated by the Radical party in regard to the delegates sent to the Constitutional Convention. We want delegates who will go there to do something, and one thing we want them to do is to require the Judges to rotate aa they did in the good old days before Radicalism tamper. ed with our Constitution.

Inthe reign of the Greek Emperor Heracliua, when the beautiful city of Damascus was at the beight of its splen- dor and magnificence, there dwelt therein a young-@oble, named Demetrius, whose deeayedortunes did not correspond with the generol prosperity of the times. He wasa youth of ardant disposition, and very handsome in person; pride kept him from bettering bia estate by the profession of merchandise, yet more keenly did he feel the obscurity to which adverse fate had redueed him, in that, in his lot vas involyed the fate ot one dearer than himself, It ao happened that in that quarter of the city which faces the row of palm trees, Within the gate Kesian, dwelt a very Wealthy old merchant, who had a very beautiful daughter. Demetrius had by thance seen her some time before, and he was so struck bv her loveliness that, af. ter piuing for aome months in secret, he Yentured upon a disclosure, and to his delighted atrprise found that Isabelle had long sileutly nureed a deep and al- Most bupeless passion for bim also; 80, being now ware that their love was mutual, they were as happy as the bird tbat all day long, sings in the eunshine from ‘he summit of the cypress trees. True is the adage of the poet, that the Course of trge love never runs smooth; andicthe father of the maiden they found that mbling block [ay in the Way of theihappincse; for he was of an Avaricious Wisposition, and they kuew that he valned gold more than nobility of ood. ‘Their fears grew more and more, as Isabelle, in her private conversation, tudeavored fo sound her father on this Point; and although the suspicions of *ctlon are always more apparent than es In this they Were not mistaken; for oat consulting his child—and as if ver soul Lad been in his hand—he prom te; er io Marriage to arich old miser, nag as Feh and nearly as old as him- peltabelts knew not what to do; for, on Wg informed by her futher of the fate @ bad destined for her, her heart forsook x rad ber spirit wa& bowed to the dust. ‘ewhere could she reat, like the [bracian that knoweth not to fold its wings in Wmber—a cloud bas fallen for her over e face of na ‘é—and instead of retiring ‘tT couch se wandered about weep> ‘adnan’ the midnight stars, on the he re, on the SA§idetops, wailing . over “peless fate, and calling on death to come Add tak eter dou: ber sorrows. At Moruing she-went forth alone iute the garden; but neither could the golden glow of the orange tree nor the perfume of the roses, nor the delicate fragrance ot the clustering henna and jesamine, delight ed she wearied for the hour of noon, hdWing privately sent to Demetrias, in- viting him to meet her by the fountain of the pillars at that time. => Poor Demetrius had for some time observed a settled sorrow in the conduct and corvotenance of bis beantiful Isabelle; he felt that some melanegboly revelation was to be made to him; and all eagerness, he came at the appointed hour. He passed along the winding walks, anheed- ing the tulips streaked like the ruddy eloads—the flower betrothed to the night- ingale—the geranium blazing in searlet beaunty—till, on approaching the place of promise, he caught a glimpse of the maid be loved—and, lo! she sat there in the sunlight, abeorbed in thoaght; a book was on ber knee and at her feet lay the barp, whose chords had been for his ear so often modulated to harmony. He laid his hand gently on her shoul- der, as he seated himself beside her on the etepa, and seeing her sorrowful face, he comforted ber, and bade her be of good cheer, saying that Heaven would soon smile on their fortunes, and that their psesent trials would but endear them the more to each other in the days of after years. At length, with tears and sobs she told him of what she had learned; and while they wept on each other’s boa- soma, they vowed over the Bible which Isabelle beld in ber handa, to be faithful to each other to their dying days. Meantime the miser was making pre- parations for the marriage ceremony, and the father of Isabelle bad portioned out his daughter’s dowry; when the lovers, finding themselves driven to extemity; took the resolution of escaping fram the city. Now it so happened, iu accordance with the proverb, which saith that evils uever come singly, that, at this very time, the city of Damascus was closely invest- ed by a mighty army commanded by a Caliph Ababeker Alwokidi, aud in leav- ing the walls, the lovers were in imminent bigard of falliug into their cruel hands; yet having no other resource left, they resolved to put their perilous adventare to the risk. "Pwas the Mussulman hour of prayer Maggrib; the sun had just disappeared, and the purpie baze ot twilight bills, darkening all the cedar forests, when the porter of the gate Keisan, having been bribed with a bribe, its folding leaves slowly opened, and forth issued a horse- wan closely wrapped up ta a mantle; and | | behtud bim, at a liutle space, follouwed another sitilarly clad. Alas! for the nniucky fugitives, it so enanced that Derar, the captain of the night guard, was at that momeut making his rounds, and observing what was going on, he detached a party to throw themselves between the strangers and the town. ‘The first rider, howeyer, discovered their intentione, and called back to his follower toreturn. Isabelle —for it was she—in atantly regained the gate which had not closed, but Demetrius fell into the hauds of the enemy. As wont in those bloody wars, the poor prisoner was immediately carried by an escort to the presence of the caliph, who put the alternative in his power, of | the instant, renouncing or submitting to the axe of the beadsman. Demetr‘us told his tale with a noble simplicity; and his youth, his open countenance and stately bearing so far gained on the heart of Abubcker, that on his refusal to embrace Mathometanism he begged of him serious-~ ly to consider his situation, and ordered a delay of the sentence, which he must otherwise pronounce, until the morrow, Heart-broken and miserable Demetrius wae loaded with chains, and carried to a either, on his religion, gloomy place of continement, In the solitude of the night he cursed the hour of his birth—bewailed his miserable sit- uation—and feeling that all bis schemes of happiness were thwarted, almost re~ joiced that he had only a few hours to live. The heavy hours lagged on towards daybreak, and quite exhausted by the intense agony of his feelings, he sauk down upon the ground in a_ profound sleep, from which a band, with cresceated turbans and crooked sword blades, awoke him. Still versieting to reject the pro- phet’s faith, he was led fourth to die; but in passing through the camp, the souba- chis of the caliph stopped the band, as he had been commanded, and Demetrius was ushered ivuto the tent, where Abubeker, not yet arisen, lay stretched upon a sofa, For awhile the captive remained reso- lute, preferring death to the disgrace of turning a reuegade; but the wily caliph, who bad tak:n a deep and sudden _inter- est in the fortunes of the youth, knew well the spring by the touch of which his heart waa most likely to be affected. He pointed out to Demetrius prospects of preferment and granduer, while he assared him that, in a few days Damascus must toacertainty surrender, in which case his mistress must fall into the power of the fierce soldiers, and be left to a fate full of dishonor, and worse than death itself, if he assumed the turban, he pledg- ed his royal word that especial care should be taken that no harm should alight on her he loved. Demetrius paused, and Ababeker saw that the heart of his captive was touched. He drew pictures of power and affluence and domestic love that dazzled the imagi- vation of his hearers; and while the pris- oner thought of his rejecting the impious proposal, as at first he bad done, with disdain and horror, his goul bent like iron to the breath of the furnace flame, and he wavered and be- eame irresolute. The keen eye of the caliph saw the workings of his spirit within him, and allowed dim yet another day to form hia resolutions. When the bi d ? Isabelle, instead of }- second was expired, Demetrius eraved a third; and on the fourth morning, misera- te man, he adjured the faith of bis fathers Wd becamea Musulman. “-Abubeker Joved the youth, assigned Him a post of dignity, and all the mighty host honored him whom the caliph de- lighted to honor. He was clad in rich attire and maguificently attended, and to all eyes Demetrius seemed a person wor- thy of envy; yet inthe calm of thought, his conscience upbraided him and he was fardess happy than he seemed to be.. Ere yet the glow of novelty had entire~ Fre to bewilder the understanding of the renegade, preparations were made for the assault; and after a fierce but ineffectual resistance, ander their gallant leaders, ‘-homas and Herbris, the Damas- eenes were obliged to submit to_ their imperious conqueror, on comdition of being spon od. within, three days; to-lea¥e ‘the “it Y vomolented hen the gates were opened, Demetri- us, with a heart overflowing with love and delight, was among the first to enter. He enquired of every one he met of Isabelle ; but all turned from him withdiagust, At length he found her out, but what was his grief and surprise—in a nunnery! Firm to the troth she had so solemnly plighted, she had rejected the proposition of ber mercenary parent, and, having no idea but that her lover had shared the fate of all christian captives, she had shut hereelf from the world, and vowed to live the life of a vestal. The surprise, the anguish, the horror of Isabelle, when she beheld Demetrius in bis Moslein babliments cannot be de- scribed. Her first impalae, on finding him yet alive, was to have fallen into hia arms; but, instantly collecting herself, ske shrank back from bim with loathing, as a mean and paltry dastard. “No, no,’’ she cried, “you are no lounger the man I leved; our vows of fidelity were pleaged over the Bible; that book you bave renounced aa a table, and he who has proved himself falee to Heaveu can never be true to me!” Demetrius was conscience struck; too late be felt bis crime aud foresaw its con 8 quences, The very object for whom he bad dared to make the tremendous sacrifice-had deserted him, and his owu soul told him with 80 much justice; so without uttering a syllable, be turned away, heart broken, from the holy and beauiiful being whose affections be had forfeited forever. When the patriots Jeff Damascus, Isabelle accompanied them. Retiring to Autioch she lived with the sisterhood for mauy years; and, as her time was passed between acts of charity and devotion, her bier was watered with many a tear, and the hands of the grateful duly atrewed her grave with flowers. ‘To: Demetrius ws destined a briefer carecr. All cons scivtis of his miserable degradation, loath ing bimself and life and mankind, he rush- ed back from the city into the Mahometan camp; and entering with a hurried step the tent of the caliph, he tore the turban from his brow, and cried aloud— “Oh, Ababeker! behold a God-forsaken wretch! Thiak not it was the tear of death that led me to abjure my religion —the jreligion of my fathera—the only true ‘faith. No, it was the idol of loye that stood between my heart and Heaven, ‘darkening the latter with ite shadow; and jhad I remained as true to God as I did ‘to the maiden of my love I had not needed | this. So saving, and ere the hand of Abube- ker could arrest bim, he drew a_poinard from his embroidered vest, and the heart~ blood of the renegade spouted on the royal robes of the successor of Mahomet. Te Courtshiy After Marriage. “Now, this is what I call comfort,” said Madge Harley, as she sat down by her neighbor's fire one evening; ‘‘here yoo are at your sewing, with the kettle steaming on the hob, and the tea thiugs on the table, expecting every minute to hear your busband’s step, and see his kind face look in at the door. Ab! if my husband was but like yours, Jan- et.” “He is like mine in many of his ways,’ eaid Janet, with a smile, “and if you will allow me to speak plainly, he would be still more like him, if you would take more paius to make him comfoitable.” - “What do you mean?” cried Madge. “Our house is as clean as yours; I mend my busband’s clothes and cook his din- Bers as carefully as any woman in the parish, and yet he never stays at bome of an evening, while you sit here by your fire night after night, as happy as can be.” . “As happy as can be on earth,” said her friend, gravely ; “yes, and shall I tell you the secket of it, Madge ?” “T wish you would,” said Madge, with a deep sigh. ‘It’s misery to live as I do now.” “Well, then,” said Janet, speaking distinctly and slowly, “I let my husband see that I love him still, and that I learn every. day to love bim more. Loveis the chain that binds him to bis bome. The world may call it folly, but the world is not my law-giver.” ‘nd do you really think,” exclaimed Madge in surprise, “that husband’s care for that sort of thing ?” “For leve, do you Janet. ‘Yes; they don’t feel at all as we do, Janet, and it don’t take many years of married life to make them tbink of a wife as a sort of maid of-all- work.” ‘A libel, Madge.’ said Mrs. Matson, laughing ; ‘I won’t allow you to. sit in William’s chair and talk so.’ ‘No, because your huebaud is different, and values hia wife’s love, while John cares for me only as his house-keeper.’ ‘} don’t think that,’ said Janet, ae asked mean ?’’ other day that courting time wes the i ¥2 223i : i Bea FIER Sit happiest of man’s life. Wiitiam reminded him there is greater happiness..than shat, even on earth, if men but givetheir hearts to Christ. I know John did not alter his opinion, but he went away thinking ot his courting time as a joy too gréat to be ex- ceeded,’ . ‘i ‘Dear fellow!’ eried Madge, smiling through her tears; ‘I do believe that he was happy then. I remember 1 used to listen for bis steps aa I sat with my dear mother by the fire, longing for the hap- piness of seeing him.’ . ‘Just so,’ said Janet; ‘do you never feel like that now ?” a Madge hesitated. a ‘Woll, no, not exactly,’ ‘And why. net ?’ Fiza ‘Oh, I don’t know,’ said Madge; ‘mar- ried people give up that sort@f thing” ‘Love you mean ?’ asked Janet. . ‘No, bat what people call ‘sengiaental,’ said Mrs. Harley. ‘Is longing to see your husband senti» mental?’ replied Janet. ‘But some people are ridiculously foolish before others reasoned Madge. ‘That proves they want sense. I am not likely to approve of that, as William would goon tell’ you; all I want is that wives should let their husbands know that they are still loved.’ ‘But meu are so vaiy,’ said Madge, ‘that it is dangerous to show them much attention.’ ‘Gh, Madge, what are you saying? Have you, then, married with the notion that it is not good for John to believe that you love him ?’ ‘N., but it is not wise to show that you care too much for them.’ ‘Say I and him; do not talk of hus-~ bands in general, but of yours in particu- lane ‘He thinks quite enough of himself al- ready, I assure you.’ ‘My dear Madge,’ said Janet, smiling, “would itdo you any harm to receive a litthe more attention from your bus-~ baud? ‘Of course not. I wish he’d try, and Mrs. Hailey laughed at the idea. “Phen, you don’t think enough of your- self already! And nothing would make you vain, [ enppose ?” Madge colored, and all the more when she perceived that William Matson had come in qnietly and was now standing behind Janet’s chair. ‘This, of course put an evd tothe conversation. Madge re- tired to her own home to thiak of Janet’s words, and to coufcas secretly that they were wise. turned home. He was a man of good abilities; and well to do in the world; and having married Madge beeause he truly loved her, he had expected to have a hap- py home. reseeved and sensitive, and partly because Madge feared to make him vain, they ha grown very cold toward each other—so eold that John begau to think the ales housé a more comfortable place than his own fireside. ‘That night the rain‘ fell in torreuts, the winds howled, and it was not until the widnight hour bad arrived that Harley left the public house and hastened toward bis cottage; he was wet throagh when he at length crossed the threshold; he was gruffly muttered, ‘used to that;’ but he which his wife drew near to wel:ome him, or to find dry clothes by a crackling fire, and slippere on the hearth; nor to hear no reproach for the late hours and dirty foot marke, ae he eat in his arm-chair. She wore a dress he had bought her years ago, with a neat linen collar around her ueck, and had a cap trimmed with white ribbon, on her bead. ‘You’re smart, Madge,’ he exclaimed, at last, when he stared ber for some time in silence ‘Who has been bere worth dressing for to-night ? ‘No one, until you came,’ said Madge, half laughing. “IT? Nonsense; you didn’t dreas for me!” cried John. “You won't believe it perhaps, bat I did. I have been talking with Mrs. Matson this evening, and she gave me some very good advice. So now, Jobn, what would you like to have for your sup- er?’ P John, who was wont to steal to the shelf at night and content himself with offer too excelleut to be refused, and very soon a large how! of chocolate was stean- ing on the table. Then his wife sat down, for a wonder, by bia side, and talked a little, and listened, and looked pleased, when at last, as if he could not help it, he said : ‘Dear old Madge!’ That was enough; her elbow somehow found its way, then, to the arm of his great chair, and she sat looking quietly at the fire. After awhile, John spoke again : ‘Madge, dear, do you remember the old days when we used to sit side by side in your mother’s kitchen ?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘I was a young man, then, Madge, and as they told me, handsome; now I am growing older, plainer, duller, Then yeu—yoa loved me; do you love me still 7” _ She looked up in his face, and her eyes answered him. It was like going back to the old days to feet bie arm aroand her as her head lay on his shoulder, and to her once again the kind words meant for her ears alone. She never once asked if this would make bim ‘vain.’ She knew, aa if by in- stinct, that it was making bim a wiser, more thoughtful, more earnest hearted man.

In regard to this, I speak on the authority of an other, as the aet of the Legislature, granting the Charter, had abowt escaped my meniory. I suppose that charter has never been revoked, and there- fore yet in force, anless it has been annulled by Jimitation.” ~ _ It is difficult for one at all acquainted with the wants and resources of Western North Carolina, to account, at this time, for the pro- posed North-western direction from Mocks- ville. This portion of the State now needs a Rail- road, more, if possible, than when that charter was granted, but the public interest would, I think, be much better subserved, by a some- what different route. That charter should, I think, be so changed as to authorize the construction of a Rail-road from Salisbury, via Mocksville, Huntsville, and other points along the valley of the Yadkin and its tributaries, to Mt. Airv, the distance would be, perhaps, sixty-five or seyenty miles. It is estimated by those best acquainted with the resources of the part of country along which the route would lie, that Yadkin and Surry alone could furnish in iron, lime, grain, pork, bacon, fruit, and other products, freight to the amount of one hundred tons per day. Be this as it may, it is evident to every one acquainied with the agricultural and mineral resources of these counties, that the freight which they would furnish to the only road passing through them, and consequently offering the only suflicient means of transportation, would be very considerable, while at the same time, the convenience of the traveling public would be | very much promoted, since such a road would | furnish facilities for traveling, the want of . which the people of all classes in this part of the State have long felt and deplored. | The valley of the Yadkin river, along which ‘the route wovld lie, is, unquestionably, one of | finest grain-growing regione in the State. The lands are of great and almost inexhausta- | ble fertility, yielding abundant crops of all | kinds —£ grain usually cultivated in this coun- try, while the hills and table lands of these ' counties not only yield grain in such abundance ' as toamply reward the labor of the farmer, but ‘are well adapted to the finest grades of tobacco. ! The large prices received during the last few years for tobacco grown in these counties show that this one article of commerce is destined to ' be to them a source of large revenue. | Fruits ofall kinds, adapted to a temporate climate, giow in abundance. Among other | fine fruits, it has been proved by many experi- ' ments that this region of Scountry is admirably adapted to the culture of the grape. But it is, - impossible to tell in one letter all about this beautiful and productive region. A gentleman who had traveled over thirtén States in search of an “Eldorado,” and who at length returned ‘to the home of his youth, told me, that, in all his wanderings in goodly lands, he had seen none equal to those parts of Yadkin and Surry, which border on the Yadkin river. Tron and lime are in great abundance, and of superior quality. Gold, silver, lead, and coal lie hidden away in the ruggid recesses of the hills,and await, only the magic wand of enterprise and capital to bring them forth to the light of day. But _ enterprise is fearful, and capital is withheld, and these vast resources are not developed, be- cause there are no such facilities for transport- | ing them as would justify an adequate invest- | ment of capital. Mt. Airy is, perhaps, forty-five or sixty miles j from tne Virginia and East Tennessee Rail- ‘road. A connection between these might be made with comparative ease, and Salisbury thus be , united by a line of salt-works and Plaster-banks of Virgina. y I think that the people along the route cai build this road, without help ; but I also think that the counties, which would receive most {benefit from the road, would assist them in ‘building it. What think you Mr. Editor, what think the : citizens of Rowan, Davie, Yadkin, and Surry ' of this enterprise? No intelligent man can | deny that we are in great need of a Rail-road, ‘ and that we need it most through the country suggested. We must haveit, or remain poor in _ the midst of antold weaith,—and all this, be- cause, we have not the appliances for transfer- ring our abundant and valuable produtions to points where they would command renumera- | tive prices.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN NEW GRENADA Further Details of the Calamity— Towns and Cities Destroyed. Details of the terrible earthquake which recently yisited the Valley of Cucuta, New Grenada, seem to confirm tbe report published on Saturday morning. ‘The Royal mail steamship Balize, which arriv- ed Aspinwall on the 4th instant, from Sarinille, brings the following from an extra of the Baranquilla Shipping List of May 29: The steam Ieabal, which arrived yes- terday, from tbe interior, neared our city with her flag at halfsmast, indicating that she was the bearer of unwelcome news, and while there were various conjectures as to its import, none had, for a moment, pictured the coloseal magnitude of the awful calamity which had taken place. The information which has reached us on the subject is contained in a letter dated in Salazar, seven leagoes from Cucuta, the 19th of the present month ; from which we extract and translate the follow- ing: “At 11:10 A. M. of yesterday, the 18th, a severe earthquake vieited this city and region, In this city alarge part of the churches fell. Several houses were destroyed ana some persons killed.— The city of Cucuta is entirely destroyed, only a few families being saved. The Botica Alemana (Germen drug store) wae set on fire by a ball of fire which was thrown out of the valcano. which con- stantly belches out lava. This volcavo has opened itself in front of Sautiago in a ridge called El Alto dela Giracha. San Cayetano wae destroyed. Santiago, in a larger part. In Gramalote there was great distruc- tion. Arboleda, Curentilla and San Cristohal are nearly deatroyed, principally the four last. The popalation of these towne, estimated by persons well acquain ted in that region, are, more or less, as follows: San Cayetano, 4,000; Santiago, 2,000 ; Gramalote, 3,000 ; Arboleda, 5.000 Curcatilla, 5,000 San Cristobal, 16,000. The section of country above referred to | embraces the regions around about where | Calumbia and Venezuela join the Colum- bian portion, embracing the State of San- tander. It is in some respects the most productive part of this republic, and the coffee of this section is famous all the world over Jan Joze de Cucuta, the city of the most importance of any in that section, was situated un the boundary of Republic, latitude 7 degrees 30 vorth, I ngitude 72 degrecs 10 weet, and was founded by Jaun de Jaun de Marten in 1343. It wasa port of entry, (if an in- laad town can be called a port,) and here was the established custom house. The population of the city at the time of the disaster is estimated at about 18,000. It had a large commercial tusineas, and was the great depot for coffee and cocoa for shipment either throegh the Venezuelan ports or down the Magdalena to this city. The shock was felt sharply in Bogota and adjoining sections. A gentleman who was at the time in Facative says that the movement lasted for three quarters of a minute. It was aleoslightly felt in Bar- ranquilla and other places. ~—_- Axsoct InpIAN CoRN,—Corn, it is said grows wild in South America, its na- tive country, cach grain having a separate husk. We still see manifestations of this tendency in the oceasional formation of grains on the tassels, the grains being more or less enveloped in husks. Jno this plant, the fertilizing or fructifying dust falls from the tassel upon the fresh, blooming silk, a single thread of which extends to the root of each grain, and if, from any ‘cause, apy of theee threads fail to receive any of the fructifying matter, the grain does not form. But ifthe pollen is re- evived, the corm: becomes productive and matures. Corn with a small eob will mature in a a sborter time than corn with a large cob, henee such should be selected tor the late plantings. The base of the ear ripens first, and by planting that part an earlier maturing crop may be secured. The earliest matured is also the heaviest.

C. Supreme Court in regard to Contracts of Married Women. {From Charlotte Democrat. | We are indebted to our friend, W. H. Railey, Esq.. for a copy of a decision of our Supreme Court at Javuary Term, 1875, touching the liabiity of married women in signing bonds. &c. The case was Harris against Jenkins. Mrs. Harris, wife of J. C. L. Harris, Esq.. of Raleigh, became one of the sureties of Sheritf Lee of Wake county, and judgment was obtained against her, on decision of a Jury iu the Superior Coert, whieh judymeut was get aside by the Supe- rior Court Judge. Frown this decision Jevkins appealed to the Sapreme Coart Judge was sustained, The opinion of the Court was deliyered by Judge Rodman as follows : This is an action in which the plaintiff asks to vacate aud set aside an execution levied on her rea! estate, which issued upon a judgment obtained against herin the paine of the State ou the relation of the de- feudant as Public Treasurer. The judg- ment was obtained apou a bond made by oue Lee as Sheriff for the colleetion, &e., of the public taxes. which she and others al- so, executed as the sireties of said Lee, she having been at the execution of said bond, aud still being a inarried woman, It is clear. of course, that at common law the bond of a married woman was absolute- ly void. Ifatnarried ®oman owned sep- arate property she was allowed in equity to contract aud bind that property. The Courts of different States differ somewhat in their view of her powera in such cases. In this State it has been held that she ooald make a valid contract to bind her separate estate in land only with the consent of her trostee. Frazier vs. Brownlow 3 Ire. Eq. 237.

The Act of 1871-°72. chap. .93. section 17, enacts that no woinan during her coverture shall be capable of making auy contrast to effect her real or personal estate, (except in certain cases of which this is not one,) with- out the written consent of ber busband, ea- less ehe be a free trader. By the express langrage of this Act the bond in qnestion is void as to the plaintiff, and we think it would have been so without the Act under the Cuustitution and the au- thorities above cited. It is couteuded, how- ever, that the original defect was subse- quently cured and that J.C. L. Harris, the hasband of the plaintiff, ratified and thereby toade valid the execution of the bond by her. The facts bearing on that point are these: After judgment had been obtained on the bond, and after execution had been levied on the land of the plaintiff, all the defendants in the judgment, with the exeeption of the plaiutiff, and also the said J. C. L. Harris, the husband of the plantiff. who was nota party to the judgment. signed a writing to the effect that if the Sheriff would postpone the sale of the property of the defendants then levied on until the first Monday of the ensuing October, they would waive adver- tisement, votice. homestead and personal property exeinption, and if the judgment was not paid before the said day in Qcto- be. the Sheriff might then sell the property. To this paper the name of the plaintiff was also signed by her said husband withvat her kuowledge or consent. 1. This ins'ruinent does not ratify on the part of the husband’ the: vious execution of the bond by hiswifes~ Ig was given merely with the intent to procure a postponement of the threatened sale. 2. The doctrine of ratification as between principal aud avent, does not apply da this case. Mrs. Harris did not profess, in exe- cuting the bud. to have acted as agent of the husband.

If these hired agents can succeed in making the people believe such absurd things, then they hope to have the law repealed when the legislature mecta again. If the people are in favor of seeing all the real estate of | the country transfeired to a few so-called | mabobs, a few heartless money changers, and the laboring millions reduced to mere tenants and vaseals, thea they should listen at the money rings and go for hav- fag the law repealed. Otherwise they should never voto for a legislator who is ia favor cf repealing the law. oe Ee The Charlotte papers are still filled with matter discussing Centennial and the First Families of Mecklenburg. It ia right amasing to the Liliputians who may be regarded as composing all that large clasa of people out side of Mecklcuburg, to note | the maoner in which itisdone. But they have bad the Centennial, and although there is scarcely any foundation in fact that they celebrated any historical event, yet they seem to fear that it and those on whose posthumons reputation it was gotten up, will be forgotten. Though we don’t thick it will be forgotten, if it is re- gardedasafarce. But is it not laughable, there should be so much fuss about an event that nobody believes in, and that those who pretend to believe in it can not establish. If, as has been charged, the so-ealled McNitt Alexander-Mecklenbarg- Declaration-of- Independence, was not got- ten upto glorify the Alexander family, why is it that fits existence cannot be estab lish beyond controversy 1 There is but| little reliance to be placed in history, when important events of not over a hundred years cannot be established. No careful stadent of history or close observer of the improvised arguments adduced in favor of the 20th of May Mecklenburg Declaration, bas any faith iu the claim set up tor this faneifal illasion. Men competent to speak on the subject have no faith in it, and have been roundly abused for their efforts to vindicate the trath of history. We would not detract one iota from Meckleaburg or her great men; but take it for granted that all that the fiiends of the dream claim is true, is it not a little strange that the most prominent man in North Carolina at that time, and who it is said signed the MeNitt Declaration, wasa citizen of Rowan County: We refer to the Hon. William Kennon, of Balisbury. Thesame may be said of | other gentlemen who it is alleged signed the McNitt document. They were not citizens of Mecklenburg, and, vetthe so- ealled Declaration reads—‘we the citizens of Mecklenburg,” &c. It then appears that all the signers were not citizens of Mecklenburg; and tbat Mecklenburg is mo more entitled to the honor of the event than Rowan or other counties, and hence the declaration is fnconsistent to say the least. It is a matter of record that there was a gathering in Meeklenbarg on the 3let of May, 1775, and since Hezekiah Alexander, Adam Alexander and John MeNitt Alexander, citizens of Mecklen- burg, and go-called siguers of the so-called, were notatshe Rowan Conrt to which they had been summoned, and which held the first week iu Jane, 1775, it is not wareasonable to suppose that they were present at the meeting of May, 31, 1775 —and bere bangs a tale.

In an- ticipation of visitors this season, Mr. Allen, general Agent of the railroad lines, has published a Fair Rate Liat for excur- sionista, putting the price of tickets for the ronnd trip from Salisbary, ut 6.25— good for ten days—not trangferable, and the bolder not allowed to stop at interme- diate points, going or returning; without ferfeiture of the ticket. No objeetion, we think, can be urged as to the price, but why should euch crip- pling conditions be annexed? The liberality tendered by lowering the rates with one band and enatehing it away with the other, amounts toa mockery and an insult. Or it may be compared to lit- tle boys playing “‘mumble-beg,”” wherein a fellow must pull a peg out of the ground with his teeth without getting sand on his nose or chin. Uutil we can see a good reasou for such embarrassing conditions (excepting of course the non-transfer fea- ture) we shall call Mr. Allen’s Rates the mumble-peg scheme. —- Public Meeting at Mt.

Dear Siz:—In consequence of chinch bugs and drouth last year, crops of every kind were almost a total failure, in Western Missouri large numbers of stock died through the win- ter and early spring for lack of feed. The past apring the farmers made unsual efforts to recu- perate by planting early and extensively. The first, and most of the last planting was swept away by devouring pests, leaving the whole country without crops, penniless and almost hopeiess. The grasshoper eggs were deposited here last Fall as numerous as the sand upon the sea shore. The hatching process begun towards the last of March. and up to this date, still goes on, while the first have taken to themselves wings, but are too feeble to get away. Every vestige of everything green upon the face of the | earth has disappeared, and this western country looks as bleak and bare as in mid-winter. Fruits of all kinds have gone the same way, and the trees are even bereft of twigs and leaves. In western Johnson Co., especially in Kingsville Township, very great suffering and The citizens in more favor- ed localities are doing everything in their pow- er to mitigate suffering and brace up the falter- ing, but when all is done that can be accom- plished, there must be suffering to an alarming entent, if not actual.

All merchants regard ihe sucgess of the Farmer firat in general benefits and results to prosper- ity. They are deeply interested in agricultare, and it is‘always fully exhibited in the general interest they take in the useing of their means, finely to build it up. The favors shown to agricultural interests by merchants are of great value to the farmer. Shut off the advances made to the farmers by the trading business men and you will decrease the products of the eountry from 25 to 30 perct. In fact a largenum ber of farmers could not cultivate their lands without this aid. I admit that it results in benefit to the merchant, and is it to be expec- ted that advances would be made without at least anticipated gain? No deception is used, it is well understood by the purchaser that he is paying some profiton the articles he gets and consumes, and he gets them frequently, too, without having to pay cash down; but when he sends beyond the limits of his acquain- tance-he receives the goods C. O. D. by express, or the cash must accompany his ‘order. I ad- mit that it does not differ who sends money to Northern merchants, so far as it decreases its circulation here, but I do think that business men, who are honest, upright and doing all they can to encourage the farmer, should re- ceive their support and confidence. The far- mers look to the merchants to buy their pro- ducts at fair market prices, and they should be encouraged todo so. No doubt many have tried shipping their own products, and I venture the assertion that no one who has done so, has realized more than he would have reéeived from hisown merchant at home. Our business men should be encourayed, the inter- est they take in general prosperity is manifest to all, for the most active, pressing ien in the country are the merchants. Goods of all des- criptions are sold at suaail advances, this can- not be denied by intelligent men. As to the rate of per cent being from 150 to 300 per cent charged in many instances by our merchants, that is incredible, and I dont think that was a good day anyhow for counting per cent. I do not doubt but that on some agricultural im- plements from 5 to 10 per cent. is saved by or- dering, Sut would it not be better to encourage our merchants and let them order for us and make 5 to 10 per cent., they will do it, and is it not reasunable, and is it not due to them to have this patronage. The merchants pay a large amount of the public Taxes, and suppose that a majority of the farmers should order all or most the goods they consumed, would it nut decrease our business men, and would we not after awhile have the deficiency of taxes thus lost to make up by’ heavier taxation on our lands and agricultural products? FAIR PLAY. —_- Deatu oF WILLIAM N. Miiits.—The entire community was shocked on Sun- day evening last to hear of the death of the young gentleman, whose name heads this article.

Betore the bells ceased ringing he was a corpse and the old familiar sound that he had so recently expressed hie fondness for was the requiem to his de- parting soul. Mr. Mills was well and favorably known in :hige community asa geutleman of the highest social standing, and a gen- tleman in the strictest sense of the term. By his close and assiduous attention to business, as the manager of Juo. C. Pal- mer’s jewelry eetablishment, he contrac~ ted the dizease that terminated his life. Several times he was admonished by his physicians to quit his sedentary life, bat with a peculiar fondness for his avocation, and a uoble pride to persevere and there by iy up a sufficioncy for his young wite and babe in the event of his ap- proaching end, he put it off too late. Ife is gone, and a nobler spirit never winged its flight to the realms of eternity. If Billy Mills had an enemy we have yet to hear it. He was widely known, and we cartruthfully say, “none knew bim. but to love him.” He leaves a young wife and one child, a father, mother, borther and no sisters to motrn his loss.—Jtaleigh News. Poor Billy! He was a native of Salisbury, and a better boy or man nev- er lived. His many friends here were greatly shocked at the sad intelligence of his suddeneath. We deeply sympathiee with the bereaved. <P> Cotor.—Color, physically considered, is synonymous with wave-length, light being composed of minute undulations or waves, Varying in length from the one thitty-five thousandth to the one-sixty thousandih of an inch, the former being the-length of the red, and the latter of the violet wave, ‘These waves strike.the eye with a velocity of 185,000 miles per sec- ond.

Travelers, voydgers, and emigrants 92 { - Saket to new countries cannot be too often reminded of the fact that this agreeable. vegetable tonie is the most reliable safeguard against disorders to which they’ are far more liable than the habitual denizens of healthy regions. The primal effect of the unwholesome atmosphere which produces what are called malarious fe- vers, is to depress and debilitate the system. The body then becomes an easy prey to the malignant principle in the air. It is manifest, therefore, that the surest way to avoid all epi- demic and endemic maladies of an intermittent type, is to counteract the weakening tendencies of miasma by artificial invigoration. That Hos- tetters’s Stomach Bitters is the surest resusci- tant of flagging vigor, is a fact which is best Rnprecarce wherever influences inimical to health exist. But itis not alone against ma- laria that they protect the system. They so toughen it a3 to enable it to endure with im- pumity extiemes of heat and cold to which travelers are often subjected, and they neutra- lize those elements in unaccustomed or diet which would otherwise beget disorders of the stomach and bowels, The brackish water with which voyagera by sea are often compelled to quench their thirst; is apt to proveke dysentery and other serious complainis, but when the Bitter- ure mixed with-it, it:becomes harmless.

We mention these facts for the benefit of farmers in this section, to most of whom it is probably news. And yet it must appear to those who bring corn to market that there is a good deal of slovenness in the preparation of it. Bits of cobs, silks, and other trash, corn of various colors with all the rotten, scraggy, and chaffy grain at each end of the ear, allowed to go into such an extent as to render it impossible to make nice meal for table use. Bread Meal is sometimes brought here from Northern and Western mills, and the difference between it and that generally made by our millers is astonish- ing, and all the result of a littlecare on the one hand, and sloveness on the other. But the time is coming when millers will require the classification described to aboye, and our farmer will find their interest in a compliance. We hope now to see it com- pleted promptly.

There were four of us in this party, all about the same age, and as it so happened all remembered the burial of the old red rooster, which occurred long years ago. when none of the party were over6 or 7 years of age. I will tell you as nearly as possible about the funeral of the old chicken. Of course we children had a little grave yard, it was in size about three feet by four, enclosed with shingles driven in the ground. As the old rooster was dead, mama proposed that we should bury him in our grave yard. This was the very thing we wanted, she could not have pleased us better, we immediately prepared a funneral paper and sent it toour little neigh- bors, it read thus: DIED “Our Big Red Rooster died last night; we will bury him this evening at 4 o’clock, be sure and come. P.S We will catch the other chickens and tie a black string round their legs, so they will be mourning by the time you get here, bring that old tiu pan, and tell Jim to be ure and brirg his big pop-gun, as we want to have a miiitary tuneral,slip your ma’s black veil if you can, bring some bread and things in your pocket and we can have alittle party af- ter the funeral.” Accordingly at the appointed time, our visi- tors came ang brought every thing they could get their hands on. They were quite amused to see all the chickons with their legs tied to- getber sitting about the box on which the old rooster had been laid out, and began to laugh atit, but they stopped it whenthe dinner bell began to toll, The rooster was then placed on the little wagon and the procession headed by the biggest-voy, for the preacher, and a girl, who tolled the bell, moved slowly towards the were located. When we arrived, the rooster was placed in the grave which left his head and tailout. The preacher then asked that a hymn should be sung after which he cond:.cted the burial service. Then standing aside he mo- tioned the others to do the military honors, then the pop-guna, tin pans and bones, came into full play. The bell was tolled, and we resumed our march to the house. This was all done in 4 most sulemn manner, most of us cry- ing. The girls l-aned the boys their aprons, who wore tbemas masons, with big paper muster hats for the military part. We then spread the table for the little party on the box that we had just taken the rooster from. Thus We spent the evening, as happy as we mortals ever are in this world of sorrow.

Doll, of Reidsville North Carolina, preached an able and effective sermon from John V ch. 28, and 29, verses. “For the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good unto the resurrection of life, and and they that have done eyil unto the resurrec- tion of damnation.” The words of the text contain a startling and important truth, one which lies at the very foundation of the Christian Religion For if the dead rise not then is Christ not raised, and his death is vain, and all our preaching, and all our hopes of Heaven worse than vain. It is important then that we should have clear, well founded views upon this subject, and our intelligent faith in the resurrection of the dead can but have a sclutary influence upon our lives. As we die, so shall werise, and as we rise so shall we be judged, to life—or to damna- The Day of Judgment will be a startling one to many. There the murderer shall be confronted by hts victim, the seducer by her he has wronged, the oppressor shall hear the witnese against bim of those whom he has op- pressed, and all miedoings shall then stand out against their perpetrators. Let us so live that in death and the judgment we shall have not fears but hope. AT THE METHODIST Episcopan Cuurcn' the Rev. Leo. W. Crawford, preached a practical but entertaining sermon, from the text. ‘‘Charity never faileth.” I. Corin- thians xiii. chap. part of 8 verse. The literal meaning of the word charity is alms-giving. but the scriptures use it in4 no such restricted sense. It is essentially Love,—love to Cod and love to our fellow- men. And on these two, says our Savior, hang all the Law and the Prophets— our faith and our salvation. Charity is ex- pressly declared to be the crowning virtue of virtues, the keystone of the triple arch, the chiefest of the three great pillars of chris- tianity—-Faith. Hope, and charity. Without it there is vo salvation. St. Paul says, noder the direct prompting of .he Holy Spirit, *-Though I have faith so that I could remove Mountains, aud though I give my body to be burued, and all my goods to the poor, yet if I have not charity, Iam as nothing— am become as a sounding brass &c.” Mere alms-giving, mere outward service of God, will not avail. We must feel and exercise deep and abiding charity, in its broadest scriptural sense, or all oar works will amoant to notbing. tion. St. Joan's LuTHERAN CHURCH. was closed on account of the Pastur’s absence. AT Sr. LuKe’s (EpiscopaL) CHURCH, the Rev. F. J. Murdvch, Rector, preached from Epb. vi, 4. *-And, ye fathers, provoke not your chil- dren torath: but bring them up in th® nurture and adomination ef the Lord.” The sermon was one of the very best we ever heard Mr. Murdoch deliver—and g- bounded in many passages of beauty and eloquence—we ¢haR not attempt to do any One evening not jong since, a sinéll party: of f friends enjoyed themaclyes very mtich talking! far end of the garden where the burial grotfnds | and a parent.; Both will, be held to 4 very grave accountability at the day of judge-, ment—And if either fails in his duty, the ptnishment will be terrible—but the pun- ishment of the recreant parent will be eyen gteater than that of such a minister—because more is required at his bands. The parent is required *‘to bring up his children in the nur- tare and admoninatiou of the Lord.”—And God never requires us do what is impossible. A child should be trained as a christian from its very infancy. It should be brought to baptism shortly after its birth—and thereia made ‘member of Christ, the child of God and inheritor of the Kingdom of Heaven.” If a child is taught to realize, that it is God’s own child by adoption and grace, it will prize exceedingly its privileges. The young son of the Prince of Wales would not part with his birth-right as heir presumptive to the British Crown for all the wealth in the world. How wuch higher a Christian child values its title to the kingdom of Heaven: Parents ought to set their children holy ex- amples—by leading pure and Godly lives. If they do their whole duty in this world, so that when they come to die they can feel the consciousness of a well spent life. their re- ward in the world to come will be life ever- lasting. And great will be that reward. “Eye hath not seen. nor ear heard, neither have entered into. the heart of man, the tbings which God hath prepared for them thatlove Him. _ FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP. June 19th 1875, Agreeably to public notice previously given, a portion of the voters of said Township met at Franklin Academy at 1 o’clock P. M., and the meeting organized by appointing S. S. Trott Chairman and W. R. Fraley Secretary. By request of the chairman, H.C. Bost ex- plained the object of the meeting. On motion a ballot was then had to obtain an expression of the choice of this Township of two candidates to represent Rowan county in the State Convention, which resulted in the selection of Hon. Burton Craige and John 8S. Hendersun, Esq. On motion, it was agreed that all voters pres- ent at this meeting, at the time of the adoption of this motion, be, and are hereby appointed delegates to represent this Township in the county Convention which meets in Salisbury on the first Saturday of July, and that they be inatructed to cast the vote of this Township for the candidates above named, and to stand by them as long as there is a probability of their nomination. The delegates appointed are the following, viz., H. C. Bost, H. G. Miller, T. F. Lord, A. Shufing, W. A. Thomason, M F Hunt, W G McNeely, Jno. Fisher, W M Kin- caid, W A Lentz, Wilson Trotte, John Eagle and S 8 Trott. On motion the meeting adjourned. W. R. Fraley, - SS. Trott, Secretary. Chairman. Mir. Granger No 2.—In reply to “Ruiuious” published in last weeks issue of the Watchman—You muke one great point for yourself and Ruinious to wit:—What is the amount made by direct orders for gvods and who gets it? From your figures I get the following result—100 is the lowest per ot. 300 the highest you set down as saved to farmers who order, at the same time you ad- mit that a few articles may cost them the game they would have to pay for them here- or perhaps a little more. Thea according to your statement. we will put the profits a little lower than an average, 80 we will say for you that the paofits are 175 per ct : which auswers the first part of question—who gets it ?—The auswer is plain the farmer who orders, saves thatamount, In other words. I ‘makes that amount of percentage, ou bie money. What dves all this imply? that the Granger should order all their goods direct from Northeru merechants—thereby doing away with home merchants and middle men ! very good! virtually making war on vur Home people, ‘the merchants” and constituting each farmer his own merchant. As a Granger of one year in good etanding anda farmer all my life, I am able to say you have placed the order in a false position before the public. As I understand our Granger Constitution there is not a single ar- ticle in it that will sustain you—on the other hand it is written in as plain English as posi- ble that the intent and purpose of the order is to wage war upon no one or any branch of busi- ness, rather to build them ap. Further if 175 per ot. is saved tu the furmer by direct orders, then our Merchants have been making their per ct. off of uu—which I know is not the case, and I can substantiate the fact—and if you, Mr. Granger No. 1, will offer the Mer- chants at large in this State 15 per ot. clerr for their profits ou money invested in goods pe- year, they will take it in every case and feel well paid for their work. AsI understand Mr. Ruinious, he dves not object to Gran- gers or any other organizatiun ordering goods or such things as they may need in quntities —but he is striking at this mania the peo- ple at large have for sending the money tua foreign market instead of letting their own home people handle it and reap the profits-- Can’t Mr. Granger No. 1 tell us a little about the money our people have been bor- rowing from Northern Merchants through their agents South at 12¢and 18, perct. Let's hear from you on that point. GRANGER No. 2. MARRIED. On the 20th of June, 1875, by the Rev. H. M. Brown, at the residence of the brides father, Mr. Samuel L.

What, if any, wines or liquors were used to wash down these strange messeg, the ac~ ccur.ts befcre us does not say. It would also be worth while to know whether the eaters had prepared themselves for the trial by acourse of starvation. We only learn that the grasshopper baaquet was really good. Work as a Remedy.

(From the Kareis City Journal, ] Fatal Results of a Feud in a Family. We learn from a gentleman from Clay county, fa homicide which occurred in that cou¥ity on Saturday at noon, which resulted in the death of Thomaa Cravena, by one of his brothera, and the woundin « of bis brothers Wood and Elisha. ‘The difficulty priginated ont of a feud, which we believe has existed for some time be. tweeu the Cravens (there being four brothers in the family) over the diyision of some property. ‘ The parties met caaually at the dividt ing fetce between the farms of Elisha and Hood Craveys.

After the fight Jim went to bis house, stating before he left that he designed going for bis geo.— Elisha retgrned ror the purpose of getting his piatut; and soon came back, and up- oo hig arrival, the other brothers being then well fixed, a row ensued, in which deadly weapons were used, himself, Tom and his brother Hood being the partici-~ pante, Which resulted in ‘l'om getting a ballet thrqugh the heart from the weapon in Elisha’s bands. : A strifggle ensued between the two and Tom, who was nearly deid on hia feet, took the pistol from his brother Elisha, aod whiks this was going on Hood was beating Mim over the head and body with _- a grubuing-boe havdie. ‘l'on attempted to make pee eeanes but fell dead iu the aitempt.; ..

Some new cases of deaths, due to the eating of pork infested with trichina, which are being gaoted in Western jour- nala, should, the Scientific American tells us, be the means of directing public at« tention anew to the horrible disease of swive, called ¢richinosis, and to the fact human being, the result is prolonged suffering and, in a multiplicity of instances death. ‘he werm existing in the pork literally bores its way out of the stomach and into the muscles. It has lately been found that awine may become infested with trichinge through eating carrion, or even decayed vegeta- ble substances. “This if a point worth consideration by farmers who incline to the belief that dead ehickeus, putrid awill, or other filth about the place is legitimate food for the pig- The animal ia not dain- ty gp bis tastes, and will lunch off his dead relatives with infinite gusto; but it 18 the poorest economy to permit him to assume the role of scavenger.

Needed Constitutional Changes. { Charlotte§Observer. } The fact that we need a change being conceded, the inquiring mind naturally asks what that change ought to be, Ac cordivg to our notions, and we believe the notiens of seven-cights of our readers, a clause should certainly be inserted in the new Constitution making the payment of taxes to the State a pre requisite qual ification of the voter. History aa well ae common sense teaches ns that all taxes are paid to support the government, in order that all may partake of the benefits of good sveicty. In other words, each individual surrenders to the S:ate a cer- tain proportion of his earnings in order that Le, as well as. the community in general, may’share the bleasings which are conferred by government, on its citi- zens. ‘bis proportion may be large or small, and government ought to be good Some Nine in ten of them could be | or bud, somewhat in proportion to the jamouut of privileges thus eurrendered. ) Among the obligsiions resting upon the leitizens of our government, there is no | higher obligation than a proper support of the government, ard looking at matters from our stand point, every man is a drone in the hive, who neglects or refuses to contribute his pro ta a, amount for that purpose. The ballot enjoyed unde1 the privileges of citizenship is one of the benefits derived from government, and clearly orly belongs to full fledged citi- izenship, which necessarily includes the payment of necesrary taxes to support the government. Let therefore the con- stitution expressly declare that no pereon who is iv arrearage fur his taxes will be allowed the privileges of the election fran- chise. Another important improvement which occurs to us is that it would be wise to declare a man convieted of a theft, or other violation of the law, the penalty for which is incarceration iv any State penal institution, that he shall no longer be allowed the privileges of the ballot, ex- j him to the privileges of citizenship by the Legislature. Se What Manufacturng Does. The little town. of Durham on the North Carolina Railroad in the county of Or- ange, says the Raleigh News, is an exam- ple of what sagacious application of capi- tal and industry will do for a people. Ten years ago Durham was known only a8 @ way station oo the railroad, and a geiting off place for the University of Chapel Hill, To-day it is literally io every man’s mouth,a familiar name all over the United States, and not unknown to the euds of the earth. What baa made this mighty change? Nothing but the introduction of manutac- tures. ‘True, it is mainly confined to one staple. But the manufacture of that staple moves the springs of a hundred industries. It stimulates the farmer in the production of a crop which he sells at good prices almost at his very door. It gives employment to hundreds in the conversion of the raw material into the manufactured article. It gives work to the carpenter in the manufacture of pack~ ages. It gives activity to a thousand needles in the makiug of bags. It draws population, and to meet their Waul8, mechanics are called in to eon- struct houses. ‘I'he increase of popala- tion necessitates the increase of mer- chantile establishments, and the neceasi- ties of this increased population beget other trades, industiis and manutactures. Everybody finds employment. There is no idling, no loitering, no complaint of dull times. What is true of Durham may be true of every town in North Carolina. And it may be recognized as a fact that North Carolina will not prosper as ebe ought until she becomes indepexdent, keeps more of her money at home. And she can never do thia uatil she embarks iu mana-~ factures, which are not only profitable to stockholders, bat which, by setting other industries in motion, vivify the whole population. If one half the money invested in dry goods, &c., in Salisbury was put into manufactories a very important change for the better would soon take place. It ig astonishing that our moneyed men can’t see the advantages to accrue to them and to the town in the establishment of manufactérlés. «pring Political Capital for the, cet pS that at the réeent exam. | i the P cept by the enactment of a law restoring | e A ‘ * LR - ate Or G@ M Bul @ Co.
