T II E WESTERN DEMOCRAT, t$Uvn tiaoctat. .W.'J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, IV. C. April 10, I8G7. COUNTY MATTERS. The County Court for Mecklenburg was in session last week, and on. Tuesday the Magistrates assem bled for tbe purpose of levying the Count Tax for the present year. Tbe following Report and recommendations of tbe Finance Committee were adopted by tbe Court: To tkt Honorall Court of riea and Quarter Settion: Mecklenburg County; Your Committee of Finance, to whom was referred the amount of Taxes to be laid by tbe County this year, bave given tbe same a careful consideration, and in view of the enormous burden it will impose upon tbe people to levy tax sufficient to meet County and Court expenses and other indebtedness, do not feel as if they would be justified in recommending such a tax as would discbarge all claims this year. They are forced to the suggestion that tbe debt due bj tbe County to D. Henderson, say $2,000 ; inter est due this year, including January, 1868, $4,200 ; old interest not funded, say $1,500; Funded Bonds and interest due this year, $2,000 amounting to $9,700 be extended beyond the year ; and they would recommend that the same be funded in Bonds to be issued by tbe Chairman and Clerk of tbe Court, maturing five years after date, and bearing interest at tbe rate of six per cent, payable annually. It will be absolutely necessary to raise funds for County purposes, say for Asylum, $1,000 Wardens of tbe Poor, 5,000 11 County Purposes, 10,000 $16,000 'To raise Ibis amount your Committee would re commend that twice the amount of Tax as is laid by the State, be laid for County purposes, and the money so raised be applied only to County purposes. It would bare been a source of gratification to your Committee iftbey could possibly have done so to propose a levy sufficient to pay all ihe indebted Bess of tbe County, but they feel that tbe pressure would be too great upon the people at this time, and can only recommend such a tax as will meet tb wants of the County, and trust for better days to come when her bonded debt and interest shall receive that attention wbich it was our pride to give it in more prosperous days. F. M. ROSS. ) W. W. OTHER, V T. W. DEWEY, J Committee. Therefore, tbe County Tax will be about twice as high as last year. This will be pretty bard on some people in these times, but if the Court has given the matter full consideration, it might be out of place for us to raise any objections or suggest a different course to lessen the amount of taxes. ty It would be well before North Carolinians purchaee any history of the late war, or of Gen. Lee, or anybody else, to examine the book and see if there is not some slander in it agaiust North Carolina. Pollard's history of the "Lost Cause" is unworthy of patronage, and a history of Gen. life's campaign?, gotten up by a Vir ginian named McCabe, contains an untruthful statement about Pettigrew'a N. C. Brigade at the battle of Gettysburg. On our first page we pub lish an excellent reply to McCabe's slander, which the Raleigh Sentinel says was written by Col. Faribault of Wake county. Although North Carolina was the back-bone of the Confederacy, and the bones of her sons lie on every battle-field, she has never yet received jufttice from any one who professes to give a history of the Southern Generals and armies. We repeat, let North Carolinians refuse to buy uch book:, and wait until some well-informed impartial man writes a history. . m The Land We Love. The April number of this excellent Monthly, published in this city, U as handsomely printed as any work we ever aw. It is filh-d as usual with articles of great interest, consisting of reports of battles, poetry, and anecdotes of the war. This is truly a South ern Magazine in every respect, and equal in point of merit to any published in the North, and the Southern people should do all in their power to sustain it. Religious. -The Hev. J. B. Ilardwick, the Pastor of the Baptist Church at Goldsboro, has been preaching in the Baptist Church in this city durintr the Last week. Although the weather was quite inclement, we learn thnt the congregations were large. Mr Ilardwick is an impressive speaker and an earnest, energetic Minister of the Gospel popular with all denominations wherever be is known. Cork. We are gratified to see that a large quantity of com is arriving at this place for the d stitute of Union county. Mr J. McLaughlin, of the firm of Hammond ic McLaughlin, has kind ly volunteered to take charge of and store the corn as it arrives. He had on hand last week 1.000 bushols for Union. It is to be hoped that persons in that county who have team will promptly haul the corn to the point of delivery. mwm - m F. W. Ahrens, Assesso'r of U. S.

Believing it to the in terest of all to encourage borne manufactures, we call attention to the fact that Dallas M. Rigler, in Granite Row, has commenced the manufacture of Candy for tbe wholesale and retail trade. He has a No. 1 candy-maker, and is manufacturing a very superior article which he informs us he is willing to sell at lower rates than it can be brought from the North. . NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The pardon was recommended by 12 Sen ators and 28 Representatives among them some of the most extreme radicals. We are sorry that the President did not pardon very Southern man long ago, before Congress interferred with his power over the matter. The Washington Star, speaking of Governor Vance's pardon, says : The President this morning issued his warrant or pardon to a. Vance. late Governor of North Carolina. Tbe pardon was issued upon the re commendation of Senators Henderson, Davis, Saulsbury. Patterson. Fowler, Johnson, Wilson, Ferry, Ross, Yates, Ramsay, Sherman, Cragin and Norton; Representatives Phelps. Van Auken, Marshall. McCullough, Archer, Niblack, Wood, Kerr.

Et7 The New York Herald, a paper that has always deserted principle for what it considered the paying side, and recently advised the radical Congress to hold the South under military control, now advises the Southern people to send negroes to Congress in order to spite and disgust tbe rad ical party. We suspect that the advice of the IJerald is instigated by an evil design it may want an opportunity and excuse to advise the sending of bummers and plunderers among the Southern people again. If reconstruction and reconciliation is not soon effected, the Herald knows that bad men, like those who control that sheet, will have further opportunity to domineer over us. Do the Guardian and Democrat approve of confiscation, further disfranchisement and Brown lowism ? If so, let them say so." Ral. Sentinel. We would be justified in replying to such an untruthful insinuation as the above in what might be considered harsh language, but we are dis posed to forbear as long as possible, and reason with those who are still (it may be unintention ally) obstructing reconstruction. The Sentinel knows very well that we have been doing all we could to prevent confiscation. Since the close of the war we have used our influence to promote peace and good feeling among the people and prevent strife and contention for offices. If the Sentinel and those for whom it speaks had pur sued the same course, the white men of our State would not now be laboring under tbe disabilities imposed by Congrpss. We will speak plainly to the Sentinel and tell it that its present course is calculated to bring about confiscation and fur ther disfranchisement. It is doing Gov. Worth's administration a great deal of harm. We are opposed to test oaths, disfranchisement and confiscation, but we fear that if the Sentinel continues its present imprudent course these measures, in their worst form, will be forced upon the people. It is said that there are persons in this State who favor confiscation. We know that such persons did not control the late Convention at Raleigh. We are utterly opposed to the schemes of all such, but the Sentinel is playing into their hands by its factiousness and deter mination to secure, if possible, the offices for its particular favorites. - There are two classes in this State from whose operations danger may be apprehended, viz : the extreme radicals who favor confiscation and fur ther disfranchisement, and the class represented by the Raleigh Sentinel who show a disposition to rule or ruin. South Carolina. Gov. Orr has appointed agents to proceed to Europe and represent to those who contemplate emigrating to America the advantages of South Caroliua, and a circular has been addressed to the planters of the State urg ing them to co-operate in the movement. An effort was made to induce the late Legisla ture of North Carolina to initiate measures for securing immigration to tbe State, but that body was unwilling to do anything to promote the ob ject. A committee of the Mecklenburg Agricul tural Society petitioned the Legislature on the subject, and Mr Wilson, our able Senator, did all he could to awaken an interest in the matter, but all failed. The result is that the States around us, by their prompt action, will increase their white population and the production of their soil. while thousands of farms and good land in our own State will "lie out" uncultivated. Small farms and an increased number of farmers are what is demanded by the circumstances and the times. . CP The Commander of this Post has received the following order from Gen. Sickles, which we publish for the information of the public : Headq'ks, Second Military District. ) (North Carolina and South Carolina,) Charleston. S. C, April 1, 1867. S General Orders No. 5. When an election for district, county, muni cipal or town officers is required to take place, in accordance with the provisions of the local law. within the limits of any post in this command. Commanding Officers will promptly report to these headquarters the time and place of such election aud tbe designation of the offices to be filled. If the present incumbents be ineligible to hold office, or any objection rxi?t. arising out of their misconduct in office, to the continuance of their function, the facts will be reported by the Past Commander, with his suggestions, having in view the mterests of tbe service and the welfare of tbe locality mentioned immediately concerned. By command of Maj. Gen. D. E. SICKLES. So far. in North and South Carolina, the mili tary authorities have acted with much prudence and fairness, and seem disposed to dixcfiarge their duties so as to gain the respect and confidence of the people. The commander at this Post. Capt. Lazelle, is a gentleman in every sense of the word, and we think we can speak for all our citi zens aud say that he has their esteem and confi dence. We hope it may be the pleasure of Gen. Sickles to allow Capt. Lazelle to remain at Charlotte. Enterprise. Jas. R. Love, Esq.. of Bun combe county, N. C writes from New York to the Asheville News as follows : "I have succeeded in an arrangement by which the American Agricultural and Mineral Laud Company, chartered by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, on the 26th day of February. A. D.. 1867, and organized in the city of New York on the 21e-t day of March, A. D., 1867, will go largely into the raising of sheep and other stock in the counties of Western North Carolina. In connection with the same business the Company hope within a reasonable time to erect Woolen Factories in some of the counties West of the Blue Ridge, and develop mines. TRUE. The Richmond Whig, speaking of the coming reconstruction elections, makes this truth ful remark: "It may be as necessary to sacrifice oar pre ferences for men es it is to sacrifice our prefer ences for particular forms of Constitution." If tbe people will act on that idea, and abandon their old prejudices and preferences, there will be no further trouble. Tbe party in Tennessee that opposes Brownlow, called the Conservative Union party, is holding meetings throughout the State, at which negroes and white men meet and sit to gether. The fact is, all parties in the South will court the negro vote. Think About It. Hutchison, Burroughs & Co., don't propose a remedy to keep a man from dying, but they propose to insure a man's family against poverty and starvation after his death. In order to secure this benefit a man must take out a Policy in the Equitable Life Assurance Society. We like the way Hutchison, Burroughs & Co. do business, for they advertise liberally and of course must be doing well. Arrested. John Owens, who murdered B. F. Withers in Lincoln county on the 2d instant, was pushed so closely by those hunting him that he went to a house in Steel Creek neighborhood and surrendered on Sunday evening the 7th. He was brought to this place on Tuesday and com mitted to Jail. V5T A big fuss has occurred in Baltimore among the managers of Associations formed, professedly, for the relief of the South. Several bave been arrested on the charge of obtaining money on fajse pretences. -No doubt much rascality is being practised and people deceived by many of those who pretend to be raising money for South ern orphans and for the relief of the Southern people generally. Fertilizers Their Purity How to Make a Test. A correspondent of the Wilmington Jour nal communicates the following to that paper : Messrs. Editors: I wish to make a suggestion to our planters who have bought fertilizers, wbich I think will be advantageous to some of them. There is little doubt that tbe amount of such articles purchased is very large, perhaps larger than ever before; they may ail be reliable, and they may not. They are generally sold by sample, and by an analysis which purports to be a fair one of the lot. The suggestion is, that every farmer fill a clean, dry bottle, and cork up tightly and seal it up carefully; lable and put it in a dry place. If it does not improve , his crop he can then have an analysis made and see whether or not the article was what it purported to be. If farmers were more particular in this respect they would not complain of being disappointed so often. i 13 The Methodist Protestant Church will hold a General Convention at Montgomery, Ala., on the 7th of May. We have been requested by a Minister in the Eastern part of this State to in quire if the Railroads would extend the usual courtesies to delegates by passing them for one fare. We call the attention of Railroad officers to the matter, and hope they will make a favorable response. THE BOCK ISLAND FACTORY. We felt truly sad a lew days ago, on reading, in a Charlotte journal, a correspondence be tween the President of the Rock Island Manu facturing Company of this State, and a gentle man from New Jersey, vvho, on his way home, had purchased cloth from that Company for a suit of clothes. We bad supposed that this Factory was in a flourishing condition, and that but few merchants in the South, at least, would consider their stocks perfect without a complete assortment of Hock Island Factory cloths; but the President, in his communication to the New Jersey gentleman, tells a very different tale. He' says it is languishing for want of support, and that but few merchants at the South give it patronage. We ate at a loss to know the reasoD of this. We have been acquainted with tbe cloths from this factory for many years, and always purchased them in preference to any others, when we could get them, because they arc more durable and equally as fine as any oth er goods, beneath the grade of Broad cloth, we care not where they are made. We have now a winter coat made from it that we purchased in February, 1865, wbich has seen some very hard service, but bids fair to make a respectable ap pearance for years to come, and after we have done with it our "better half" expects to make one of our little scions comfortable winter clothea out of it. But aside from the intrinsic value of the article, in our opinion there is a moral obit- ! gation resting on every individual in tbe South, to sustain our Factories, more particularly now, and when, as in the case of the Rock Island Factory, the goods produced by them are equal in quality and pries. Nothing can be more suicidal, in the present depressed conditiou of our beloved South, than to neglect our own Manufactories, and run after foreign fabrics, in every way inferior. Will the Southern people never come to their senses and act wisely in this matter ? For our part, we feel prouder in a 6oit of cloth made by our friends and neighbors than we would in the finest broad-cloth made at tbe tip of the Fashion. But it is not so much the people at large who are to blame as the merchants. They prefer going North for their goods, and many of them have got to thinking that nothing can be profit able unless it comes from the big Nor'ard. We are confident tbe Rock Island cloths would sell readily if our merchants would put them on the market. For man j years we have enjoyed a persona! acquaintance wiih the energetio and truly honourable President of the Company, and unhesitatingly endorse any recommendation he may give his goods. We hope some of our merchants will get stocks of their Summer cloths, for we want a suit of it as soon as it arrives. Send to John A. Young, President of the Company, Cbaalotfe, N. 0.

Steam Plows A Meadville (Pa ) piper has an account of a new steam plow, which breaks op, harrows, drills and seeds - or plants a strip fifteen and a half feet wide at each passage.

On Friday night last, Mrs.Patsey Stewart, living at Coburn's Store, union county, had two good work mules stolen from her Parties in pursuit of the thief traced him and the animals for thirty miles from the point where stolen into South Carolina, towards Camden, thence through the Taxahaw settlement to within six miles of this place, camping on Sun day night near Mr Thos. Robinson's residence. On Monday be started apparently for South Carolina. The party supposing to, have stole these mules is described as a white man, medium size, ruddy face, dark hair and moustache, aged apparently about twenty -five, and wearing a black coat aod pants, (the pants much worn at the knees,) black felt hat, and shoes. On Friday night, Mr Llewellyn Sinclair, of this county, living within three miles of this town, also had a horse stolen from his stables. The horse was traced to Hornsboro', S. C, at which point the trail was lost. In both of these instances the loss of the ani mals to their owners falls very grievously upon them both poor and needing the animals to help make crops. Wadesboro Argus. Mrs Stewart's mules have been captured near Lumberton ; the thief escaped. Washington Items Tbe U. S. Senate still holds executive sessions. A resolution fixing a day for adjournment, occasioned a char acteristic debate, and developed the fact that tbe Senate is willing to divide the officers equally between the Radicals and the Democrats. But the President is firm ia his determination to ad here to his friends. In reply to an argument that, unless the President yielded, and during the recess should place persons in office who are objectionable to the Senate, he should be put out of the way in July, Mr Fessenden said that the President was equally with the Senate a part of the government, and he might, with equal propriety threaten to put the Senate out of the way, unless it accepted his measures. Tbe whole question was indefinitely postponed. Shocking Double Murder At Augusta, Arkansas, a few days since, Tilman Gregory, a wealthy planter, got into an altercation at a game of cards with a Dr. Dameron, in the course of which tbe latter drew a pistol and shot tbe former in the hip. Mr Gregory being in liquor, as indeed both were, taunted him for not shoot ing better than that. Dr. Dameron fired again, shooting him this time in the breast. Mr Gre gory then drew a pistol, and taking deliberate aim at the Doctor, shot him through the heart. Gregory's shot took effect almost instantaneously in Dameron's heart, and both felt dead together. Both were influential citizens, and the tragedy created a profound sensation. m One singular fact, says Young's History of the war, in connection with tbe death of Mr Lincoln, is, that no coroner's inquest was ever held on his body, no legal evidence taken as to the manner of his death, nor was a single per son, accused of connection with it, ever brought into a court of law ; nor is there to this day any legal testimony whatever as to the manner of his death, the cause of it, or who killed him. . . The Territory Purchased from Russia. The Territory known as Russian-America has been purchased from Russia by the United States for the sum of $7,200,000. Professor Baird describes tbe country as follows : Climate and Temperature. The coast from Prince of Wales Island to tbe entrance of Behring's straits during the winter months is about the same as the city of Washington. Little snow and much rain. During the sum mer months very foggy. Timber. The whole country, well up the northern coast, is heavily timbered, chiefly with hard pine forests and small trees, up to the very shores. Some of tbe islands are heavily tim bered with pine forests and dense underbrush, and some of them are destitute of timber, and covered with grass of a luxuriant growth. Soil. On the west coast, produces excellent barley and roots, such as radishes, turnips; and esculents, such as lettuce, cabbages, &c. Animals Furred animals, such as sea otter, river otter, sables, furred seal, mink, foxes (black, silver, red, etc.,) in great numbers; red deer in the south and tbe reindeer in the north. Fish. Herring, salmon, halibut, and codfish abound in countless numbers. In Behring's sea and to the northward great whales are very numerous. Minerals. Surface washings of gold have been discovered on the headwaters of tbe streams on the east side of tbe coast range of mountains. The geological developments are the same on the western slopes. Native copper has been discovered in various places on the coast and in the vicinity of Copper river. Iron ore of excel lent quality, and believed to exist in inexbaust less quantities, is now being smelted and worked by Russian artisans in repairing ships, &c. Coal is also found in large quantities, and is be ing used by the Russians for naval purposes; is similar to New Brunswick coal. Recent dis coveries have been made of what is believed to be a better quality of coal, but not yet tested. Inhabitants Five or six thousaod Russians, fifty or sixty thousand Indians and Esquimaux. The latter inhabit the coast on the Northern sea, are industrious, peaceable, and teachable, and live by hunting and fishing. The Indians inhabit the interior, are peaceable, and live by hunting, fishing and trapping. Slate of IV. Carolina, Mecklenburg co. In Equity To Spring Term, 1867. Herman Wiener va. H. k B. Emanuel.
