THE WESTERN: DEMOCRAT, CHARLOTTE; fl. C. t$Uxn mocrat. W. J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, IV. C. IoYember 13, 1SGG. TuzJS. C. LrEGiSLATURE. This body assem bles on the third Monday of this month, instead of the 4th Monday as we stated last week. Some of our exchanges are already discuss ing the question of what ought to be done aud what lft undone. The election of a V. S. Senator for the thort ' lerm (now filled by John Pool) will devolve j .on thin Legislature, and no doubt many are setting their ca'ps" for the place. Unless a man is elected who can take the test oath the election will be a useless one, for there is no prospect of Any one Wing admitted into Congress who cannot -take that oath. We consider the oath an unfair requirement, but we can see no way to avoid its being demanded of our members. President Johnson himself does not insist on or advocate the admission of members who cannot take the oath. There is no way to get clear of it until Congress repeals it ; And all know that there is at present but little prospect of that's being done. If the Legislature is disposed to practice and enforce economy, it will discontinue the offices of State Geologist and Adjutant General of Militia, and' thus save a considerable sum iu the way of useless salaries. We presume that the matter of negro testi mony will agaiu be breught to the attention of the Legislature. Ever since the abolition of slavery we have thought that it would be to the interest of the honest, well-meaning portion of .the community to .permit negro testimony in all cases where he may be summoned. Many vil lainous white men instigate the negro to commit .crime, t& escape punishment themselves because, under, certain circumstances. negro testimony can not'be taken against them. Let the negro's tes timony go to the Jury for what it is worth honest, respectable people have no good cause to Apprehend danger. Judicial Circuits. So far as thisimme-diate section is concerned, we think the law prescribing our Judicial Circuits needs amendment, and we hope the Legislature will make some alteration. The counties of Mecklenburg, Gaston. Lincoln, Cleavcland, Iredell, Cabarrus an4 Union are so .closely identified in trade and business transac tions, they ought to be in the same Circuit, so (that the Courts (the Superior Courts at least) will iot occur in any two of these .counties on the rame week. At present, Lincoln. Gaston and Cleaveland do not belong to this Circuit, and the result is that tho Superior Courts of Lincoln, Chw.elend aid Mecklenburg, and Gaston and Cabarrus, occur in the same week. Many per sons in Cleavejand, Gaston and Lincoln have business in Mecklenburg Court, or something that demands their presence here Court week, and .tic persa. There is no good reason why Yadkin, Surry, Alleghany, Ashe and Wilkes should bo in the same Circuit with Mecklenburg. JJuiopj &c. Let these counties, or a portion of them, be detached, and let Lincoln,. Gaston and Cleaveland be added to this Circuit. We trust that the lawyers and business men of ibis Circuit will move jn the. matter. N. C. Railroad.- It will be seen by a notice in another column that a special meeting of the Stockholders of the N. C. Road, is to be held in Raleigh on the 12th of December. COTTON. The latest news from New York and Liverpool shows that there has been a further de cline in Cotton consequently, the market here will be dull for a few da'9. Northern Elections. On Tuesday las, elections for members of Congress, State Legis latures, and Governors, took place in the States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota. Wisconsin, Illi nois, Kansas, Massachusetts and Nevada. The result is, that except in the States of Maryland and Delaware, the Rudical Republicans have curried everything, and they will have the same power in the next Congress that they had in the last. Telegraphic dispatches state the result thus : The Republicans have increased majorities throughout the State of New York. Competent judges place the Republican majority in the State at 14,000. The Tribune claims more. The Re publicans lose three Congressmen in the inland counties, but gain three iu the river districts. The Republican majority in the State is variously estimated at from 5,000 to 15.0(H), in Illinois at 40.000. in Wisconsin at 18.000, in Massachusetts at 70.000. In New Jersey tho Congressional delegation stands 4 Republicans to 1 Democrat. Iu Delaware a Democratic Governor and Con gressman are elected by about 1,000 majority a gain of 500. The Republicans have carried every State by increased majorities, with the exception of Mary land and Delaware, which will show considerable Conservative gains." Trying to Cheat Newspapers. There is scarcely a-day but what wo receive advertise ments from Northern concerns, who propose that if we will insert their humbug notices, and thus help to deceive our people, they will give us a gold pen or pencil, or some pictures, or goods of some kind. We always throw such stuff in the stove. Advertisements from abroad, not intended to deceive and humbug the public, will be in serted if accompanied by the cash not without. Northern newspaper advertising Agencies might as well discontinue sending us advertisements, as we are determined not to insert one of them with out the cash. NKW ADVERTISEMENTS.

If the -Southern States are not restored to the Union at mi -early day, and agitation quieted, we think that trouble of a serious nature will spring op between the New Logland and Western states. J Us eertain ly to the interest of the South, as well as to the whole country, that peace and good feeling should prevail between all sections of tho country, for, under present circumstances, whatever injures one section will seriously affect the other section. The New York Times (a Republican paper) in the following article gives an idea of what will happen unless a better spirit prevails with Con gress : Sectionalism in New Shapes. We notice that some of the Western journals, in discussing the question of protection and other matters in which the Now England States are supposed to be spe cially interested, use language descriptive of the selfishness, narrowness and overbearing tyranny of the latter section, that sounds amazingly like the denunciations of the "Yankee States' which we were accustomed to hear from the South some years ago. They are working up a sectional feeling which, however our eyes may be blinded to it under present circumstances, unquestionably has in it elements of danger for the future. It is not only Copperhead papers which are culpable in this matter, but Radical Republican journals, such as the Chicago Tribune, are among the most biameable. On the other hand, there are ex treme protectionist journals in the Eastern States, such as the New York Tribune, which denouuee the Freo Trade overtures so widely held in the West in langnage as violent as they formerly ap plied to the Pro-Slavery dctrines held in the South; and seem to regard free trade as no less an .outrage upon human nature than Slavery it self. As. the antagonism widens and deepens, and the sectional feeling which is now making its appearance in connection with the subject be comes pronounced and intensified between the Western and the New England States, we shall probably have another struggle, which will re quire to be under other control than that of heat ed and bigoted partisans to end in a pacific solu tion." If tho Northern people would avoid trouble among themselves, they had better dispense with their vindictive feelings towards the South, and agree to a fair settlement of the questions at issue. If sectional agitation is continued the whole country will suffer, and another secession movement may be commenced, not in the South ern States, but in the great North-west. Inas much as the Southern Confederacy has failed, it is to our interest as a people that peace and good feeling should prevail throughout the United States. National Banks. The Acting Comptroller of the Currency has announced that bonds have been received for deposit with the Treasury of the United States to an amount sufficient to secure the entire circulation of -$.'JU0,00 1,000 of national circulation authorized by law; and no more would be received after this date. The limit having been reached, hereafter it will be useless to for ward bonds or to apply for increase of capital or for the organization of new national banks with the expectation of obtaining circulating notes. From the above it appears that no more Na tional Banks can be established. We don't know that that makes much difference, for it is evident to all .business men, and the people generally, that tho National Banks do not afford the facili ties and convenience that the times and neces sities of the people require. However much the officers of these institutions may be disposed to accommodate, they frequently find it out of their power to do so considering the amount of capi tal allowed them and the exactions of the Gov ernment laws. Therefore, the State Legisla tures ought to petition Congress to modify the Banking Law so as to permit the organization of Stato or local Banks. We hope the Legislature of North Carolina will take the subject under consideration at its next session, and enlist the co-operation of other State Legislatures. There is but one Bank doing business west of Raleigh, aud that is the utional Bank of Charlotte. Of course no one will pr.eteud to say that one Bank is enough for all the country west .of the State Capitul. Were it not for the present unfair and stringent National Banking law, imposing a heavy .tax and onerous restrictions on State Banks or local in stitutions of the kind, many of the Southern Banks would have been able to work along and finully overcome the difficulties and embarrass ments entailed by the war, and ultimately pay their debts. We hope tho State Legislatures, not only of the South but of the North, will memorialize Con gress on the subject and try and get fair play for all. SALE OP CHARLOTTE NAVY YARD We publish the following advertisement from the Raleigh Standard for the information of the public: Bciikau of Refugees, Fhked. & Aband Lands, Headquarters Asst. Com., Slate of N. C, . Raleigli, N. C, Nov. 1st, 1866. 1 In compliance with instructions, from the Com missioner of Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lauds, dated Washington, September 28th, 1866, and by virtue of authority given in sec tion 12 of the act of Congress passed July 16th, 1866, entitled "An Act to continue in force and to amend 'An Act to establish a Bureau for the relief of Freedmen and Refugees,' and for other purposes." I will sell at Charlotte, N. C, on the premises, at public Auction, to the highest bidder, on Thursday, 29th day of Nov., 1866, between the honrs of 10 A. M., and 2 P. M., the following property formerly be longing to the so-called Confederate Government: Two lots, 100 feel front each on Trade Street, and about 612 feet deep, designated in the plan of stud town, as lots 237 and 238, in square 36, being pro perty formerly owned by Wm Allison, deceastd, and sold under a decree of a Court of Equity for pur poses of partition, Ac. Said property was conveyed to the so-called Confederate States Government, by E Nye Hutchison and John Wilkes, of the County of .Mecklenburg and State of North Carolina, by deed dated July Uth, 1863. Thet.e lots are to be sold without the buildings thereof, except a two story frame house, 37 x 32 on lot 237, which will be sold with the lot. This is a valuable property, having a front upon one of the principal streets of Charlotte, and run ning up to the N. C. Railroad, making it the most desirable in the city for mercantile or manufacturing purposes. I will also sell on the same day, on the Fair Grounds of the Mecklenburg Agricultural Society, eight or more frame buildings, built and used by the so-called Confederate Government as hospitals. Tkbs: For the real estate, Cash, in Government funds, on the delivery of a warranty deed therefor, in the name of the United States; for the buildings, Cash, in Government funds on the day of sale, the buildings to be removed within fip days thereafter.

The day is not far distant when six Railroad lines wifl branch off from this place. WTe copy theallowing from the Lancaster (S. C) Ledger: . The Railroad Question. Vfe have recently received a letter from a friend residing in George town, on the subject of an extension of the George town Railroad to Charlotte, N. C via Lancaster. We cannot present the matter to our readers in a better way than by publishing that portion of his j communication which relates exclusively to this project : "Georgetown, S. C. Oct. 24,1866. MW. M. Connors, Esq. Dear Sir: I have been requested by various prominent gentlemen of this town connected with the Georgetown Rail road, to ask your aid and influence with the peo ple of Lancaster with a view to the extension of the same to your town en route to Charlotte. N. C. The advantages of .such a line are very ob vious; it is the most direct route from the interior to the sea board and is nearer by sixty miles than by wuy of Charleston. The Georgetown road is already graded to the N. E. K. E., and the work will soon be speedily poshed to completion. If you can get up a meeting in your town our citi zens will be happy to unite and send delegates to Lancaster. I am told by the Engineer of this road and by others conversant with the subject, that the enterprise is perfectly feasable and will bring you in direct route with the nearest point on the coast as well as in direct communication with Charleston." . We stated some time ago that the extensive Mining Company in the Eastern portion of this District, now partly composed of Northern capi talists, were contemplating a Road to connect the.ir mine with some of the Roads below, with the view of ultimately extending the line to Charlotte. That a Road was indispensable to a full develop ment of their mining op"e rations, and that they were reported to have ample means at hand to insure the success-of the enterprise. We under stand that the matter is still under advisement, and that they prefer the Georgetown connection, a.s being more direct, and as presenting the double advantage of a route both to Georgetown and Charleston. . Mexico. After all the fuss about Maximilian aud Mexico, it will be seen by news in another column that Max. has left Mexico. It would greatly promote the interests of the United States to have a stable, permanent Government in Mexico, but we fear that the Mexicans themselves will never make such a Government. The fac tions of that country will continue to fight each other, and the result will be that theUnited States or some other Government will have to rule the country. Poor, unfortunate Mexico! Bad State of Affairs. In some of the Eastern counties of this State, the peace and quiet of the citizens appear to be greatly disturbed by bands of robbers and murderers prowling through the country. We frequently find accounts in the Newbern papers of highway robberies and other outrages. Before people make up their minds to remove from this section to the Eust they had better wait until things get a little more settled in that section, or until there is more security for life and property. It is stated that U. S. troops are to be sent to Eastern counties to preserve the peace. , From the Newbern Commercial of last week we copy the following : "Another Outrage. On Wednesday last a person hired a horse at Captain Mowers' livery stable, used him all day, and at night returned him aud paid his bill. Next day, the same horse was hired by the same person but was not re turned according to promise. On Saturday, Mr Wigle, attached to Captain M's stable, while on a hunt for the horse, came upon him in a yard near Trenton, where a dozen or more men were congregated. He did not think it prudent to claim the horse, and returned home with the in telligence. Yesterday Captain M. and Mr Wigle came upon the parties at the designated place, but instead of getting the horse tliey nearly lost two others in their efforts to save their own lives. The gang alluded to, pursued them nearly ten miles, but did not overtake them- Capt. Mowers saved himself but lost his hor-se and injured a couple more. In consequpnee of this outrage, and of an ap plication of Mr O S Colgrove, (whose cotton gin was recently burned,) six men and a sergeaut of the U. S. regulars stationed iu this city, leave this morning to be stationed on Mr Colgrove's plantation till he gathers in his .cotton crop Mr C. furnishing the soldiers' ratious. Iu this connection we may mention that Capt. Stubbs has made A requisition for forty horses and equipments to mount a portion of the troops here for patrol duty. The horses are daily ex pected. Wo trust the troops may succeed in capturing the outlaws who are doing so much damage." Outlaws of this character ought to be executed immediately. We are glad to state that in the Western coun ties, quiet and good feeling generally prevail. Who Pays ? The newspapers recently re corded the fact that a Massachusetts manufac turing company had just declared a dividend of one hundred per cent on a year's profits, af ter reserving surplus enough to enlarge and im prove their mill " Another important fact bear ing upon this point, is the announcement of a woolen manufacturer in the same State, that before the war it cost him $3,5C to make a yard of cloth which he sold for $4, and that now he sells at 38 per yard what only cost him $4 to produce These manufacturers make goods for the million, and their enormous profits account, in some measure, for the present extraordinary high prices of the fabrics used by the masses. In the face of this state of things, the Radicals of New England are louJly clamoring for more protection, and want a higher tariff solely as a means of increasing their profits. The wants and necessities of the poorer classes are un heeded by these cormorants, and the actual cost of living 13 advanced, which calls for immediate reform. wm m The lost Charge for the Confederacy East of the Mississippi. A correspondent of the Southern Recorder furnishes that paper with the following incident : On the.lSth day of April, 18G5, General W. W. Allen, of Alabama, commanding a division of Wheeler's cavalry, being hard pressed by the enemy as be was leaving Raleigh, N. C, ordered a detachment from the first Georgia cavalry to bold them in check, for the division to form. Under that order, Major John W. Tench, at the head of four companies of the first Georgia, made dash upon the rapidly advancing column, threw them into a confusion almost amounting to a rout thereby gaining time for- General Allen to dispose bis troops so as to secure a safe retreat. I think the date it correct. General Allen, no doubt, remembers, and will testify to the fact. Oar Georgia Major should be allowed to wear his laurels, if justly entitled to them, and hjs friend ahould be Informed xf this incident. y The Fortieth Congress The elections ip to this time give, thirty-four Republicans in Ibe Senate to six Democrats, with twelve vacan efes to be filled, without counting themembers fscoa any of the States of the 8oth except Ten nessee. Of the twelve vacancies ten -will un doubtedly be filled by Bepublieans, vix: One from Illinois, one from Indiana, two frooi Kan sas, one from Missouri, one from New York, one from New Jeisey, one from Nevada, one from Pennsylvania and one from Wisconsin. Ken tucky will of course elect a Democrat, and prob ably Maryland also. This will give, with twenty-six State represented, forty-four Republicans to eight Democrats. So far the House of Representatives, exclu sive of the Soutb, stands Republicans one hundred and twenty-three, Democrats thirty eight. We have counted among the Democrats Ross and Burr of Illinois, Anderson of New York, Anderson of Missouri, and Newell and Rogers of New Jersey, whose "Democracy" or Conservatism is at least doubtful. Connecticut, California, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Tennessee, choos ing twenty-nine tuembers, are yet to cleet. Of these the Republicans will probably carry the four districts in Connecticut, the three in Cali fornia, the three in New Hampshire, the two in Rhode Island, and two of the nine in Kentucky, while of the eight in Tennessee no proper esti mate can be given. Kickaiond Timet. Sales of Land. A number of tracts of land were sold by the Ordinary and Commissioner in Equity on Monday last. As the market value of land at this time is very uncertain, we sub join .a fist of the prices obtained. The follow ing tracts were sold by order of .the Ordinary : Estate of H P Hancock: 193 acres, 8220; 52 aeres, $195; 33 acres, $66; 48 acres, $25. The following by the Commissioner in Equity: Estate of Robert Phillips: 218 acres, $800; 207 acres, $205; 21 acres, $30. Estate of Mrs E T White : 200 acres, $165. Estate of James T MDow; 310 acres, $2000 (in gold.) Estate of R II Porter : 354 acres, $2125. All on twelve months credit, except sufficient cash to pay costs and expenses. The lowest price obtained was about 55 cents per acre and the highest near $7 in gold. Lancaster C) Ledger. mm - -m The official Conservative majority in the city of New York is 46,654. Every ward in the city gave a majority for Hoffman. Messr. Fox, Stewart, Brooks, Wood, Morrissey and Chanter, all Conservatives, are the members elect to Congress. A special dispatch from Savannah to the Charleston Courier says that two citixens sen tenced to death by a military commission have been discharged from custody by tho United States District Attorney, on a writ of habeas corpus, and turned over to the civil authority. These were the last military prisoners in Geor gia. New Orleans, Nov. 8. The Cotton accounts continue favorable. All crops spared by worms and rain will be saved. The Governor of Texas recommends the extinc tion of all apparent difference as to civil rights between the blacks and whites. General Sherman's Sympathy with the President. Lieut. Gen. Sherman, when in Washington, made no secret of bis support of the President's policy. On one occasion he said : "Soldiers have something else to do now besides fighting. We fought the rebels a long as there were any to fight. What we have to do now is to secure the objects for which we fought. We fought to restore the Union; let us now restore it." He frequently expressed his surprise and indignation that the Southern States were deprived of the right of representa tion so long after the termination of the war. New York Commercial Advertiser. . Stat Law Veto is Mississippi, Governor Humphries, of Mississippi, in his recent message vetoing the stay law passed by the 6tate Leg islature, takes the ground that the act is in vio lation of the State and Federal Constitutions, which are claimed to be emphatic on the point that no law shall be passed impairing the obli gation of a contract. In the act in question a stay is given to the debtor for the paymeut of the debt extending over a period of four years; atid the Governor argues that if this power thus to stay execution exists in the Legislature, he can see no limitation to its exercise except in legisla tive discretion. If it be competent to stay ex ecution during a period of four years, it is difficult to perceive what there is to prevent an indefinite extension. The Legislature postponed the con sideration of the veto message till January next. Rock Island Factory, Charlotte, N. C. We have recently had the pleasure of passing through this establishment, and candor compels us to say, that we have never seen more beautiful machinery, nor ever witnessed more order and cleanliness than is to be found in its various de partments. There is a place for every thing and every thing seems to bejn its place. The goods of this factory, in style and texture, will compare to advantage with any similar goods brought to our markets from Northern establishments. We trust the day is not far distant when similar lac tones, conducted by men of like enterprise and system as are to be seen in this, will spring up in every section of our Southern land. : Our friends of the Rock Island Factory need no "pufflM to push them forward, their goods need only to be seen in order to be admired and sought after. Success to all such enterprises and all such men. Evangelical Lutheran. Fkigiitfcl Earthquake in Russian America. The ship Imperial arrived in port Tuesday last from Kodiak, bringing intelligence of a frightful earthquake at that Island, about 4 o'clock, p. m., on the 5th of September. Three houses, and every chimney in the town were knocked down. The captain of the Imperial says that the sensations produced were beyond description. The vessel appeared as though she was being dragged at railroad speed over the rocks. Huge masses of stone, which had lain unmoved for centuries, were torn from their resting place on the mountain sides, and hurled with deafening noise to the bot tom of the valleys below; although great damage was done to property, no lives were lost. KoJiak is an island of Russian America, southeast of the peninsular of Aliaska. It is of a very irregular shape, about seventy five miles in length by fifty in breadth. The "surface is mountainous. On the north side is the harbor and station of St Paul in which the Imperial was lying at the time of the earthquake. San Francisco Occidental. NOTICE.

The five leading journals of Paris contain long and circumstantial accounts of a distinguished engineer whose head was turned perfectly white by a most frightful dream. The engineer had visited a rough and unfrequented mineral region for the purpose of exploring and reporting' to a company of capi talists upon the riehness of a certain mine. The night of his arrival, and before he descended into the mine, he lodged at a small inn, and after devouring a pound or two of pork chops, went to bed He dreamed that he had visited the mine and was being hauled up, when he discovered that the rope waa almost severed, that there was only a single strand to support his weight and that of the bucket in which he was drawn up. Suddenly, when he had ascend ed two hundred feet, the rope, he dreamed, gave way, and he uttered a fearful ehriek, which aroused the inmates of, the house, and when they bursted open the door of the dreamer's room they found a white headed man in the place of the black haired foang gentleman who had retired a few hours before. The story is well authenticated, and this is the first instaoce on record of a man's head having been turned white from the effects of a dream. A Good Suggestion. The Richmond WhigcouDsels all farmers and others who need the services of the blacks, to make their labor contracts fer tiie next year oow, while it may be done on more favorable terms, and with a better opportunity to make good selections. We recommend this to Our citizens as a proper and very desirable suggestion, in more ways than one. It is evident that a large number of Blacks io this vicinity are unemployed, and in capable of sustaining themselves during the ap proaching winter. The natural consequence must be that, this class will resort to theft, in cendiarism, murder, robbery, and any erimes that will enable them to obtain food.' On the othei hand, the Blacks are daily learning that they must behave themselves, and many are anxious and willing to secure permanent em ployment. So, that now is the time to engage field hands. - TMT V HELPFUL WlTm In-this town, on the 31st ult., by the Rev. W.
