THE WESTERN DEMOCRAT, CHARLOTTE, H. C. tsttxn W.J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, IV. C. November SO, I86G. Important. If the information contained in tbe following dispatch is true, we consider it of very great importance to the people of the coun try, and it may result in restoring peace to the nation and reuniting all sections. Further de velopments will be awaited with anxiety: Washington, Nov. 16. Chief Justice Chase called at the White House this evening, and was closeted with the President for about an hour. Before his departure, Mr Seward, Gov. Kandall, Mr McCullough and Mr Browning arrived, and remained iu consultation with the President until ten o'clock. It is believed this meeting was for consultation upon a most important subject, based upon an effort now being made by leading men of all parties, to induce the President, iu considera tion of a general amnesty, to induce the people of the South to accept universal suffrage, with a qualification either of property or intelligence. Prominent Southern men are co-operating with the Republicans and Democrats iu this effort. Br" The Legislature of North Carolina assem bles in Raleigh to day (19th). We presume both Houses will be organized speedily, though we see a long list of names suggested in some of our ex changes as suitable persons for Speakers. For the Speakership of the House, Messrs U Y Mc Aden of Alamance, Gen. Durgan of Anson, Col. Cowan of New Hanover, Col. Kenan of Duplin, Dr. Moore of Hertford and J P II Russ of Wake, are mentioned. In regard to the Speakership of the Senate, a correspondent writes to the Raleigh Sentinel as follows : Messrs. Editors : The West desires to re ciprocate the kindness of "An Eastern Man,"' in commending to the favorable consideration of the Senate, that high toned and incorruptible citizen, J II Wilson, Esq., of Mecklenburg, for the office of Speaker. If a knowledge of parliamentary law, gentlemanly demeanor, a high sense of honor which scorns the demagogue, the most ingenuous spirit towards an opponent and devotion to the public good, constitule fitness for that office, then Mr Wilson would fill it admirably. But in all these respects, it gives the West pleasure to admit, that the Hon. Mathias E. Maul', of Cra ven, is equally well fitted for that honorable, po sition. If the Speaker of the Senate should be selected from the West, Mr Wilson would be a capital selection, but if from the East. Judge Manly would be equally so. MtCKLKNBUKG. Agricultural Society. We hope the pub lic will bear in mind that on Saturday next, the 24th of November, there will bo a meeting in Charlotte of the friends of the Mecklenburg Ag ricultural Society. Let there be a full atten dance, and let all unite in giving the Society a new impetus. The citizens of Gaston, Lincoln, Iredell, Cabarrus, and Union counties and Lan caster and York Districts, are invited to attend. Moving Await. From what we see and hear we believe there a restless disposition among many Southern people to move away; and some are going to the North-western States. We be lieve that a majority of those who move will be disappointed iu their expectations. The "States villo American mentions the case of a man who recently moved from Iredell county to Illinois and stav3 only three weeks, when he was glad enough to get back to his old home. It is true, he found the land more productive than in some parts of North Carolina, but the price of produce was not near so good corn selling at from 15 to 20 cents per bushel and land dear and houses expensive. The fact is, taking everything into considera tion. North Carolina is as good as any State to live in, and a great deal better than many other regions of country. We have good society, good health, good prices for produce, and a good liv ing for all who will work and improve their op portunities. Providence will help those who help themselves. Cabarrus Superior Court. This Court was held last week Judge Buxton presiding. We learn that a good deal of business was trans acted in the way of trying larceny case. Our neighbor, the Guardian, iu the following paragraph gives the result of a case which was removed from this county : Hie State vs. Ji. M. Presson. By reference to our telegraphic column it will be seen that Mr B. M. Presson, of our city, has been honorably acquitted of the charges against him for buying cotton known to have been stolen, and being a party to the transaction. This is as it should be. From the first we have been one to believe that the grave charges against Mr Preseon were groundless. An enlightened jurj' of twelve dis interested gentlemen has said to the world that he is "not guilty." CP We have received a copy of -'The Rich mond Eclectic, a monthly Magazine of Foreign Literature, edited by Revs. Moses D. Hoge and Wm. Brown. Tiddy 6c Urother, Charlotte Book Store, are the Agents for the work; also, for "The Land we Love." mm mm rF Th6 people of Caswell county. N. C, and Danville, Va., are trying to secure the building of a Railroad from the Coal Fields in Chatham county, via the Company Shops and Yancey ville, to Danville. This scheme, if successful, would put them in communication with Fayetteville and Wilmington. But it seems to us that if Danville wants to reach the N. C. Coal Fields and Fay etteville and Wilmington, it would be better to co-operate in the movement to extend the Fay rtteville and Western Railroad to Greensboro. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The President and Congress What the President Intends to Do. The New York Sun's Washington correspondent gives the following portion of a communication addressed by a mem ber of the Cabinet to a friend of the administra tion in New England, in relation to the position of the President and his attitude towards Con gress. The writer says : "Notwithstanding his long public, career, few men seem to be less understood than President Johnson. That he is a man of strong convictions and earnest purposes is evident from the manner in which he advocated and pushed forward im portant measures in Congress, like the Home stead Bill, and the stand he took against seces sion and in favor of the government during the late civil war. He believes that the manner in which he proposed that the government should deal with the sruthern States was not only a mag nanimous one, but the only one likely to result in a speedy and hearty reconciliation between the two sections ; and he has felt it to be his duty to sustain his views by the exercise of such powers as the Constitution had clothed him with. But while this has been, and doubtless will continue to be, his course, he will violate no law nor fail to perform the duties which are legally devolved upon him. He will veto every bill that he may regard unconstitutional, no matter how unpopular it may be for him to do so. But he will execute with unscrupulous fidelity all laws, and especially those to which he has declined to give hL- official sanction. 'The apprehensions which you seem to feel, and which many others share with you. that Mr Johnson will attempt to force Southern represen tatives into Congress, or do any other imprudent thing by which the public peace will be disturbed, is entirely unfounded. While he will exercise fearlessly the power which he possesses under the constitution iu furtherance of the measures which he thinks are best calculated to promote the public weal, ho will not quarrel with Congress for pursuing the same independent course. He regrets the disagreement between the legislative and executive branches of the government, and would, I doubt not, yield much to effect a recon ciliation. He will not, however, sacrifice his principles, nor violate the constitution according to his interpretation of it, no matter what pressure is brought to bear upon him. He .means to I right, as he understands the right, and will trust to time for the vindication of his course. He will bo as true to the constitution and the government as President of the United States as he was truo and steadfast to the Union in the darkest days of its trials." m CF The stars didn't fall last week, and neither was there any meteoric shower, as was predicted by astronomers and wise men. mmm- -mmm ! !SFThe Baltimore difficulties have been settled without fighting or bloodshed. The old Police Commissioners have surrendered to the new Com missioners, and everything is working quietly. We hope the Radicals of the North will permit our national difficulties to be settled in the same peaceable manner, notwithstanding the threats and fuss of politicians. VW In an old Southern Patriot and Commercial Advertiser, published in Charleston in 1815. which we have been permitted to examine, we find a letter from Gen. Andrew Jackson to the Gover nor of this State, David R. Williams, in which he acknowledges that South Carolina is the State that gave him birth. This sets at rest a question which we believe has been disputed heretofore. Columbia Carolinian. Some years ago we published evidence thivt showed conclusively that Gen. Jackson was born in North Carolina, in what is now Union county. Since then we have seen no proof to contradict it. Bad State of Affairs. Correspondents in the South have lately been sending to Northern papers terrible accounts of the bad condition of Southern society all for effect, of course. A correspondent writes from New Orleans to a New York paper as follows: "Armed organizations of ex-rebel soldiers are drilling nightly upon Canal street. It is reported that Jeff. Davis lias escaped from prison and is in command. No Union man dure slvjw himself on the streets after sunset. A violent rebel threatened to pull down the Custom House, and but for the timely arrival of the Eighteenth corps, would have executed his threat. Mayor Monroe hung himself and then kilird his family in order, as he afterwards stated, to avoid the just indig nation of Union citizens. The commanding gen eral takes his meals regularly in spite of rebel threats. It is stated on good authority that the Mississippi river is undermined. Several rebel cruisers came up the river yesterday to see whether the reported surrender of the Confeder ate authorities was correct. Being told that it was, th?y cursed the United States Government, and after taking coal and provisions went down to Barataria. Unfortunately tho war vessels in port were un able to get up steam in time to overhaul them. People here do not hesitate to speak openly jn favor of President Johnson and the Constitution. One man went so far as to say "D n the Radi cals." The ex-rebels are in a destitute condition; and in some portions of the city are eating their children." The "rebel" who threatened to pull down the Custom House mifst be the game one who under mined the Mississippi River. Wonder if Samson has rose from the dead. t3F The LaG range (Ga.) Reporter says : "Atlanta is a wondrous place it is an enigma requiring more philosophy than we possess to solve the true c.tuse or causes of her prosperity. Surrounded by a country which, in point of fer tility of soil, is the poorest of the poor, Atlanta is rising from her prostration in gigantic strength. Every kind of improvement is in progress. Busi ness and dwelling houses are going up by the hundreds, and there ia a constant din of the workmen's hammers all the day long. Manufac tories and shops of all kinds are springing into existence as if by magic, and where we saw but a few weeks ago smouldering ruins of desolated homes, we now find tasty residences, adorned with the latest improvements iu architecture." What is to prevent Charlotte from becoming larger than Atlanta Unlike Atlanta, Charlotte is surrounded by a productive soil, fine facilities for reaching market, and the price paid for pro- I duce is as good as in any inland town in the country. . , m A good Customer for tue Druggists. Mr Samuel Jessup, aged sixty-five and rich, died lately in Lincolnshire, England. He was a bach elor, had no relatives, and enjoyed general good health, notwithstanding that during the lasttweu-ty-one years of his life he was noted for an inor dinate craving for medicines. From 1794 to 1816 it was proven iu a trial before court that he took 229,834 pills, being an average 29 per diem. But he legun with a moderate appetite, which increased to that extent that from 1812 to 1816, inclusive, he took 78 pills a day, and in 1840 he iook au,ju uuring ineyear. 11 was snown mat, besides, he had taken 40,000 bottles of different mixtures: All this was supplied to him by one apothecary, whose bIl, when presented in court, took up fifty-five closely written column. Agricultural Progress Tbe Augusta i Constitutionalist says : "Deep-ploughing, the accumulation of ma ncres and their judicious distribution are not as scientifically and economically considered as they deserve to be. lleturned European tou rists, such a man for example as Wm. Gregg, Esq., of, Graniteville, S. U., concur in admira tion of the English system and English im provements with the plough. Up to a very re- : cent date, immense ploughs drawn by a yoke of six oxen used to turn up the soil in a manner little known to our farmers. These ploughs went into the bowels of the earth and made even the poorest land do wonders. This sys tem has been improved upon by the invention and a-ppli cation of the steam plough, which is now revolutionizing agriculture all over tbe con tinent. By means of this plough from eighteen to twenty acres of land can be broken up daily. It runs five furrows, each to the depth of twen ty inches, if dvsired. Speaking of this plough, the achievements of which he investigated, Mr Gregg says it "tore the ground into ditches." It is expensive, but can be had on long credit. One of the first-cl-iss can be laid down in Au gusta for about 6,000. The magnitude of the sum will appal many, but it need not. In England the owner of such a plough hires it out to those who cannot afford the purchase indi vidually. The benefit of one such ploughing would be well worth tho moderate charge. For several years there would not be the same re quirement of steam ploughing, and the delight ed earth would repay the expenditure four-fold. Why should we not share in the benefits of this great improvement? Will not some capitalist emulate George Peabody, or if that be too much to ask, cannot the planters combine bj neigh borhoods to purchase these ploughs for their common usuf ruct ? jC5?""Tlie Mississippi commissioners called upon the PresMent on the 14th, having previously sect to him the resolution passed by the Legis lature of their State in relation toMr Davis. They also presented an accompanying letter from Gov. Humphrey, based on the idea that there will be no trial, but he says while they do not seek to screen him from this, they believe that his im prisonment is not necessary to secure his presence when desired for the trial, and can only be at tended with fatal results to his health, and that the ends of justice will be reached by admitting him to bail or parole. The President, it is said, gave them a courteous reception, and promised to take the subject into consideration. Heavy Frauds ox tee Government. Wash ington, November 12. The United States reve nue officers have detected immense frauds upon the government by varioxts importers of cherry and other wines, and silks and ribbons. Seizures of property of this class to the amount of more than a million of dollars have been made in New York. One firm paid $53,000 as a compromise for its alleged frauds upon the revenue; another paid $50,000, and a third proposes to pay &40, 000. Heavy seizures of a like character have been made in New Orleans and San Francisco. It is estimated that there will be secured to the gov ernment revenues by these seizures, in the aggre gate, about $ 1 ,700,000. The government special agents who discovered and brought to light these frauds will make about $400,000 as fees. Grapes. To persons interested in the culture i of the Vine, we will state upon the authority of Grant, Taylor and Kedmont, that the four best grapes in cultivation in the United States are the Isabella (the earliest) the Delaware (white) the Iona (which is sold in New-York City at 1,00 per pound,) and the latest and best keeping grape of all, a native of North-Carolina, the Pamlico, be longing to the Skoupernong family. It is black, and has as many as thirty, but generally about one dozen berries in a cluster, and will keep read ily until Christmas. Of the Skoupernong family (vifcis rotundifolia) there are now four varieties in cultivation, to wit: Flowers, b. Waccamoic, b. Pamlico, b ; and the skoupernong w. From the last several seed lings have been produced, but none of them of superior qualities to the original, and are not worthy of cultivation for the present. Raleigh i$ta ndard. , my m m. Most Excellent Movement. A Washington letter savs : "General Howard, of the Freedmeu's Bureau, has addressed a letter to colored clergy men seeking their co-operation in trying to get rid of some of the surplus freed men here, who must be sent away or supported by the Government during the winter. General Howard says that already about 5,000 colored people have secured employment elsewhere, that this class of the population yet numbers 22,000, of whom not more than 15,000 cau be provided with work, leaving 7,000 who ought to go away. He pro poses to send them chiefly to Pennsylvania, New York and New England." 07A Yankee school-master named Glover is reported by the Danville Times as having swin-r died his colored friends and pupils out of $190, raised to buy a library for them After getting the money in hand he borrowed a clean shirt from a respectable negro and decamped. The scene of his exploits is in the neighborhood of Walter's Mills, about five miles from Danville, in Caswell county, North Carolina.

This late Confederate officer, in a late letter, remarks: "When I sur rendered with the Confederate forces at Greens boro', N. C, I buried the hatchet, not to be un buried Again, except in defense, bf the country and its constitutional government.'' - Buried Alive. Mrs McClure, a farmer's wife, living near Quincv, Illinois, apparently died on Sunday, and next day was buried in the family vault, near tue nouse. un vveanesuay grouns were heard in tbe vault by some children; the coffin was opened; and the woman found alive.

Newbern Journal of Commerce. The Rice Crop. It is understood that the rice crop of the Cape Fear is almost an entire failure. Before the war, the rice crop of that region was annually about 215,000 bushels. The present year it will not we are told go be yond 20,000 bushels! This is an immense fall ing off and will most- seriously affect the price of the article and the active means of that sec tion. A Good Move. Application will be made at the eusuing Legislature for a charter for the North Carolina Savings Insurance & Banking Company. It will be located at Yanceyville or Company's ghops, we presume. Ral. Sentinel. Sudden Death. Mr Joel E. Home, living on the Stanback Ferry road, died very suddenly on Friday last. He complained in the morn ing to his wife, who was leaving the house to visit a neighbor's sick child, that he did not feel well, and requested her not to stay long. But after she left, he went out as usual to at tend to matters about the premises, in the dis charge of which duties be was seized with an apoplectic fit, and died in about two hours from the time he was first attacked. Mr II. was, be fore the war, one of the vealthicbt men in the county, his property being largely invested in slaves. Ilis losses being heavy by the result of the war, they preyed much upon his mind, and his health, in consequence, had become very materially impaired. iVadesboro Argus.

San Francisco, Nov. 15. Letters from Gens. Alvarez and Diase to Nov. 5, 6tate that four vessels of the French fleet left Accapulco, leaving a garrison of 930 men. The news of the capture of Oaxaca by the Liberals is confirmed. Auother account says that three French ves sels proceeded from Accapulco to Mazatlan to withdraw tbe French troops from the latter place and carry them to San Bias. Gen. Alvarez fixed his headquarters three miles from Accapulco, which place Ire expected soon to capture, having received from San Fran cisco a battery of rifled cannon, accompanied by twelve American veteran gunners. The Reported Abdication of Maximilian. The New York Commercial says : 'The statement published by Mr Romero, as 'official'," of the abdicaiion of Maximilian, is en tirely unfounded. The dispatch sent Mr Saul mer, acting as agent of the. United States at Vera Cruz, originated in a visit paid by the Em peror to Orizaba. Our information is from an eye witness of the condition of things in Mexico, just arrived here by the steamer Manhattan." Matrimony in Vermont. The Rutland (Vt ) Herald publishes a letter from Moolpelier, which says three bills have been introduced in to the Vermont Senate relating to marriage. The tendency of most of them is to reduce mar riage to a limited partnership, each party put ting in as much capital as seems best, and tbe partnership to be dissolved upon very small provocation. That's all right, inasmuch as the Northern people are saints, and wo here in the South are heathens. m fgv- We regret to see the Southern people patronizing E. A. Pollard's History of the War, (?) styled the "Lost Cause." No man at the South, possessing sufficient respectability to en title hiuu to the countenance and recognition of gentlemen, should for a moment think of tole rating this voluminous and ponderous book, con stituting as it does a volume of abuses and mis representations of Jefferson Davis and his Cab inet. Agents are being secured, by the publishers of this book, in every county throughout the South. They deserve no encouragement or sympathy, and should be driven from the door of every honest man. Wilson Carolinian. The Great Perjurer. Sanford Conover, the witness charged with perjury in the plot charging Jefferson Davis with Mr Lincoln's assassination, is yet in jail. He declares that he is innocent. He has been unsuccessful in getting bail, and has been presented by the graod jury. It is stated also that he has been in dicted for perjury. v Indians. The census of the Indian tribes, as prepared for the annual report of tbe Com missioner of Indian Affairs, for 1866, show3 that the total number of Indians in the States and territories of the United States is only 295,774. mm -mm- Liberia Rev. George Erskine, a negro minister who has lived in Liberia for thirty years, delivered a lecture in Knoxville, on Fri day last, encouraging the emigration of the ne groes from this country to Liberia. The climate of Liberia, he said, was very similar to that of Louisiana and Georgia, and tbe.soil was fully as rich in the nrodnction of cereals, coffee and snsrar. while tin. coDDer. cold, silver, platioa 1 and other metals abound in the mountains., He mentioned ono native of South Carolina whose coffee crop last year amounted to 240,000 rounds, and numerous incidents of the wealth and resources oi toe ltepubnc. me orovern ment of Liberia was anxious to have the colored people of the United States emigrate to their . . mt .

Dr. John W. Leftwitcb, ofTennesse, who represents the Memphis District in Congress, and who is now at Washington, has addressed a letter to his constituents, in which be says that, in spite of the recent Radical successes at the North, and the dark complexion of the next Congress, the President is still as firm in the belief of the final success of his policy of resto ration as he thinks that it is the only Constitu tional and available method by which the States can be restored to their former unity and pros perity.

Died, at her residence near Rock Hill, York Dis trict, S C, Oct. 9th, 1866, Mrs Catherine Moore, wife if Mr Baxter H Moore, aged 24 years, 8 months and 9 days. Long before the publication of th:3 announcement, a wide circle of ardent friends will have learned and tenderly lamented the early decease of this estimable lady. To them it will be a gratifying assurance, that in the community in which she died, compara tively a stranger, her rare virtues and attractive Christian worth, were sincerely appreciated. Many whose privilege it was to know her oply as they watched about her couch of sickness and death, shall not soon forget the eminent and uncomplain ing patience, with which she endured the languish ing and pain of her protracted illness. It ia our 'strong consolation" that the beauty of character which living and dying she exemplified was the fruit of the operation of the Holy Spirit upon a nature singularly sweet and gentle, and unto Him would we reverently ascribe the glory and the praise ! Reared in a household of faith, we have reason to believe that the prayers of piou3 parents were an swered in her conversion years before she was called away It was matter of lamentation to her upon her sick bed that she had sutfered her timid and re served disposition to deter her from publicly ac knowledging that Saviour, whose rod and staff so graciously comforted her in the shadow of the valley of death. Ten days before her departure, she and her husband were received into the communion of the Church of her parent?, and in her feeble hands were placed the memorials of Jesu3' dying love. And although her connection with the visible fold of the Redeemer was so brief, we trust she has been welcomed to the sinless society of "the church of the first-born which are written in Hearen." She leaves but few of her immediate relatives to lament her. The four children God gave her were one by one taken away by the good Shepherd before she was summoned to the green pastures and -still waters of "the rest that remainelh." To her deso late husband, onto whom she baa bequeathed a memory of true and devoted wifely affection inesti mably precious, we offer our siacerest eympatby. And as we stand by that early tomb, which in the rich bloom of a life so beautiful and to beloved, she has been summoned by an all wise and all Right eous Father to fill, shall we call it untimely? "It matters little at what hour of tbe day The righteous fall asleep death cannot come To her untimely who is fit to die The less of this cold world, the more of Heaven, The briefer life, the earlier immortality." pd R.
