CP" The Salisbury Old North State, under the heading of "the Charlotte Democrat,", devotes & lengthy article to the consideration of our posi tion in regard to public affairs, confiscation, 6cc. It is written in such good spirit and compliment' us so highly for honesty of intentions, that we feel we ought not to pass it over without some notice. The North State, while expressing the firm be lief that we are opposed to confiscation and fur ther disfranchisement, thinks we are mistaken in supposing that there is no party in the State -which favors confiscation. &c. It asks if we can explain why the Raleigh Convention did not adopt a resolution in opposition to confiscation and further disfranchisement. Inasmuch as we were not a member of that Convention, and were not present with the committee that prepared the "platform we do not thiuk we could give our respected cotemporary ao answer that would satisfy it ; but we will say that we do not believe (from observation and conversation) that a single member of that committee favored the adoption of confiscating and disfranchising measures. There are, no doubt, (as the North State says,) persons in this State who favor such iniquitous measured, but cuch persons had no control in the Kaleigli Convention, and never will get into power unless the present movement for recon struction proves a failure, and postpones the ad mission of the State into the Union. If we considered ourself capable of advising oar cotemporary, and if we thought it would ex cuse us for doing so. wo would advise it to co operate with us in discouraging any contention this summer for the publio offices as the best means to prevent the building up in this State a party in favor of disfranchisement. &c. We have nver voted for Gov. Worth, because we believed that the election of another man would better promote peace, harmony and good feeling in the State, and thus secure an earlier admission to the Union ; but wo can truly say that we have no ill-feeling towards the Governor or any other public officer of the State, or any of their friends. We still suggest, however, that if they would voluntarily consent to take "back seats." and permit, for a year or two at loust. a new set of men to take control of the Stato Government, reconstruction would be effected without further trouble, and there would be no danger of confis cation or further disfranchisement. There is not a man in the State that we wish or would like to see injured in any way; but we fear fiat many, by imprudence, pnsion and indiscretion, aro piecing themselves beyond all relief, aud bring ing trouble on innocent parties. We are well aware that in expressing the views we do, we are placing ourself in the minority, and in opposition to the advice of nine-tenths of the newspapers of this State ; but we care noth ing for that time will prove, we think, that we are correct. Before reading the article in the North State, we had written a few comments on an extract from the Wilmington Journal, to which we direct the attention of our Salisbury cotemporary. The Wheat Crop. The growing wheat in this part of the State never looked better, and we are authorized to say by the oldest farmers that they never saw a better prospect. But it must be remembered that the crop is not safe un til harvested. Military. It will be seen by the orders of Gen. Sickles, published in another column, that Cant. Lazelle (who has been in command of this Post for some time past) has been put in com mand of the military district composed of the counties of Mecklenburg, Cleaveland, Catawba, Lincoln, Gaston, Uuion, Cabarrus, Stauly and Anson headquarters at Charlotte. Cnpt. Lazelie has the confidence of the people generally of this section, aud wo feel sure they will be gratified to learn that he is to be retained in coimnn ud. Cotton and Corn. Cotton is low down in price now to what it has been, and if war breaks out in Europe (as is predicted) it will be as low or lower uext Fall. Therefore, farmers had better take into consideration the importance of making large Corn crops. The demand for Com next Fall and the succeeding Spring and Summer will be great, and fortunate will that man be wha has plenty. m -m. CF We hope the Raleigh Sentinel will not consider that we have slighted it this week, by not replying specially to its late article in reply to one of ours. We respectfully refer it to two articles in our columns to-day one in reply to the Salisbury North State'and one following an extract from the Wilmington Journal. We really believe that the day is not far distant when the North State, Sentinel, Journal. Goidsboro News, and all others, will find that we are right and .they wrong just as results have phown that we ,were right in supporting Mr Holden for Gov ernor in 1805. and in favoring the adoption of the Howard amendment as the most favorable terms we could get from Congress. If no further diffi culty occurs we shall be as much gratified as any .one can be. A Good Opportunity. It will be seen by Advertisement that the "Mansion House" in this .city is offered for Rent or Lease after the 1st day of May. The building is situated on the corner pf the Public Square, in the business centre, and was erected expressly f..r a first class Hotel. To a man who "knows how to keen a Hotel" this is A good opportunity. Address M. L. Wriston. Charlotte, N. C m 1" Beef. This article is scarce in this market, and prices high.

Superior -Coart I r tti . t. !, ' r wr I tur uuiuh uuuutjr w as uriu ai uiuuiuo. m at tended two day. Judge Gilliam was the pre siding Judge, and W. P. Caldwell, Eq., Solicitor. Inasmuch as the Judge refused to permit judg ments to be taken for any debts or parts of debts contracted previous to the 15th of May, 18C5, there was but little done with the civil docket, and we were gratified to learn that the State docket was not large. Considering the destitute condition of the peo ple of Uuion county, and the late orders of Gen. Sickles, we believe the Judge's course was gen erally acquiesced in as prudent and proper. In one case where the security for a debtor sur rendered his principal to the Court, the Judge refused to require further security or place the debtor in the custody of the Sheriff, although he was a citizen of South Carolina, and of course beyond the reach of process in this State hereafter. The corn crop in Union having completely failed last year, the most of the people are suffer ing for grain for man and beast. We know men wbo always had corn to sell heretofore, who' are now dependent on charity or their personal credit for supplies for their families. Many can not obtain corn on credit, and as the donations so far have not proved sufficient, we fear that there will be much suffering among the women and children. Mr H. M. Houston and Mr Darling Broom, who are attending to the distribution of donations, are gentlemen who will discharge their duties faithfully and impartially, but they have only been able to supply a class of utterly destitute women and children and weakly aud diseased men. To make matters worse, the corn crop was al most a failure in those counties or the portion surrounding Union such as Mecklenburg, Stan ly and Anson; and in the adjoining Districts of South Carolina the distress is as great as any where. Therefore help must come from abroad. We know that the people cf Union are indus trious, and they are now making every effort to raise a crop this year, but they must be relieved from present embarrassment. A good Example. Along the road between this place and Monroe, Union county, we saw several white girls in the fields ploughing. In one instance we saw two girls about 16 years old managing a plow with two oxen attached one held the plow handles and the other drove the oxen. Such conduct on the part of females ought to put to shame the scores of men who are idling away their time .doing uothing, and who secin to consider it a disgrace to pull off their coats aud go to hard work. m "We cannot but think that the present asppct of political affairs in the South is more promising than at any time since the close of the war." Wilmington Journal. We thought so, too, until quite recently ; but the disposition which is now manifested to engage in contention and strife for the offices, lead us to fear that difficulties will not be settled as soon as many anticipate. The Radical party at the North, in and out of Congress, look upon a certain class of men in each Southern States as peculiarly loyal, and be lieve that they are the proper ones to carry on the work of reconstruction. No matter what others may say about this class, and no matter how much they may be accused of being seces sionists and war-men in former time, the Northern radicals seem to consider them all right now, and by words and acts express a preference for them. We do not claim to belong to this class we cannot do so, for we heartily sympathised with the Confederate cause during the war we make no cluim to having been a Union man we can only claim that since the surrender of Gen. Lee we have favored a settlement of difficulties on the best terms we could get from the conquering power. But we have said, and will continue to say, that it would be better for us all if the work of reconstruction was left to the party or class that is considered "loyal" by those who control Congress. Our idea'is, that instead of contend ing with that class of persons for the offices, we ousht to show a disposition to let by-gones be by gnnes, and tnske them our friends iustead of permitting them to be opponents. If this course was pursued, we do not think there would - be further trouble in North Carolina there would be no disposition to proscribe any one or enact State test oaths. So far from this course being degrading or sycophantic, it would be a manly compliance with what is required by circum stances over which we have no control. It would be making an honest effort to restore peace and prosperity to our distracted country. We have had an opportunity of learning the sentiments of nearly all the leading men who par ticipated in the late Raleigh Convention, (which has been so unnecessarily denounced by news papers in and out of this State.) and we know that they did not favor further proscription of any man or "class of men nothing of that sort was proposed or advocated in the Convention, and nothing of the kind was incorporated in the reso lutions adopted. For our own part, we do not intend to engage in contention or strife, or quarrel with any one about these matters we can neither vote nor hold office we merely express our opinions as a public journalist, as we feel it our duty to do. We shall not be offended with any one for re fusing to take our advice or endorse our view. But we confess that we are anxious to see diffi culties settled, civil law supreme, and peace and quiet and prosperity prevail amoug the people generally. The present condition of affairs in jures us about as much as it does auy one. C""r" The scheme gotten up in Baltimore, under the name of Presentation Concert, professedly for the purpose of aiding Southern orphans, has come to naught (so far as benefit to Southern orphans is concerned) in consequence of the man agers of the scheme being arrested and bound over to court on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenees. The people in all parts of the South have been called on to invest in this concern, and we presume that several thousand dollars have been lost in that way. The Wil mington Journal gives the following good advice on this subject : "It would be well enough, however, for the Southern people to beware always of Gift enter prises. A great deal of humbug walks abroad in this world covered with the stolen mantle of Charity, and the unwary are often misled in such things by the evil designing. It would be also well to look always a little into facts before in vesting their earnings therein. For instance, this association. tit is 6aid, paid tbeir ticket agents fifteen per .cent, on all sales, thereby reducing the dollar invested for Southern charity to eighty five cents before that dollar left the region where it was first invested. If. then,. one-seventh of the whole amount was paid for Xbe sale of tickets alone, how much of U. after it had passqd through the various other necessary agencies and ex penses, would reach the ultimate obiectfor which j it was intended the Southern children t " Senator Wilson ha been ; on a missionary tour in Virginia, trying to enlighten .the people of that benighted region. Wonder if the Senator has ever been to that neighborhood in one of the New England States where many of the men, women and children recently acknowledged that they had never heard of the name of the Saviour or heard a gospel sermon preached I Charity ought to begin at home. Whilst we advocate the propriety of committing the management of the work of reconstruction to the hands of our own citizens wbo are considered peculiarly loyal, we object to any outside inter ference ; and therefore, for Mr Wilson's benefit, we copy the following from the Springfield (Massachusetts) Republican : "Rev. Mr Denton, agent of the Bible Society, has lately explored six wards of the city of Worcester, (Massachusetts) and found that 1258 families out of 4096 nearly ooe-third were destitute of the Bible. Of these families, 381 refused either to bay or ac cept the Bible as a gift. Mr Denton found 634 Pro testant familfesin the six wards who do not attend public worship. The Boston Recorder gives an ac count of a parish in Maine (name not mentioned) having a population of 1800, of whom 1600 do not attend church. These are but isolated instances, among many, showing that from some cause a large portion of our New England population is becoming divorced from the religious ideas and customs of tbeir fathers." Another Order. We publish the order of Gen. Sickles dividing North Carolina into twelve Military Posts, and discontinuing the sub-Districts of North and South Carolina. The sale of spirituous liquors to persons in the Military or Naval service of the United States is forbidden . Post Commanders are to require Sheriffs, Deputy Sheriffs, Constables, and the Police force within their commands to report to them any violation of military orders and arrest the guilty parties; and they are to exercise a supervision over all Magistrates, Sheriffs, Deputy Sheriffs, Con stables, and Police within their commands; and are to, whenever necessary for the preservation of order and the efficient discharge of their duties, assume command of the police force. CF We see it stated that the Hon. Henry A. Wise of Virginia, will deliver the Annual Address at the approaching. Commencement exercises of the North Caroliua University. m Congress. The U. S. Senate has been hold ing an extra session since the regular adjourn ment of Congress, for the purpose of acting on Presidential appointments, dec. The Senate has now adjourned and the Senators retired to their homes. The Washington Chronicle of the 21st, (the organ of the Radical party) says : 'When the Senate adjourned last night the impression seemed to be -almost universal that there would be no quorum in either house on the 3d of July next. The feeling between the Sena tors and the Executive was so comparatively cordial, and the intelligence from the South promising submission to the terms of the recon struction bill so auspicious, that very few doubted that the great measure of Congress had antici pated and foreclosed all chance of difficulty and dissention. The Senate adjourned sine die, leav ing about twenty positions vacant, which, under the tenure of office bill, the President cannot fill. The majority of the vacancies are in the West." The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger eays : ''The Democratic Central Committee have determined to organize a grand campaigning expedition through the Southern States during tbe coming summer, with a view of preparing in that quarter for the approaching Presidential election. The best speakers are to be pot in the field, and there will be no want of funds." Exchange Papcrr We want neither Northern Radicals nor Northern Democrats nor Senator Wilson nor Mr Anybodyelse to come South for tbe pur pose of stirring up party feeling. If they will all stay at home and attend to their own business, the Southern people will get along much better in the reconstruction business. The End. A communication was recently handed us for publication by a colored man of this city, who requested us with so much eager ness to withhold his name, that we were curious to know the reason. He replied that.it would be as touch as his life was worth to have it known. He then informed us of the existence of an ob ligation among the confiscationists, pledging them to the most degrading slavery a slavery of mind and will and binding them, in effect, to regard all outsMe their organization as enemies. This statement is confirmed by a report in Monday's Washington Republican, of a Repub lican meeting in that city. One of the delegates, D. R. Parker, there announced that tbe party was "pledged, before God and man, to support tbe nominee." It is not difficult to see where all this will end. It must result in a war of races, when, for their own protection, tbe respectable whites will have to enter into societies, pledging themselves to em ploy no colored man for any purpose no colored barber, or shoemaker, or hackman, or waiter, or blacksmith, or carpenter, or bar tender and eventually no colored ploughman or reaper. If the Confiscationists desire to bring this misery on the blacks, it is in tbeir power. Richmond Examiner. We hope there is some mistake about the above. We have never offered any advice to the colored people, and bave never courted their favor in any respect, bat for their sskes and for the sake of humanity, we do hope they will never favor such a wicked, corrupt and destruc tive scheme as confiscation. As sure as the world lasts, if anything like confiscation is ever adopted the colored people will be the greatest sufferers. There is a point beyond which for bearance oq the part of the white man will cease to be a virtue. No respectable white man is now disposed to injure the colored man, but all are willing to give him a fair cbanee and all proper rights, bat if he undertakes to injure tbe white man the result will be the ruin of the col ored man. We claim to be as good a friend to the colored man as any ooe, and therefore we wain them against being led astray by visionary and wieked schemes. Sandford Conover, who committed perjury be fore the Congressional Investigation Committee, has been sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. Washington Dispatch. That man Conover ought to be hung for his villaiuy. He- swore to positive lies for the" pur pose of implicating Jefferson Davis and other leading Southern men in the assassination of Lincoln. Wonder what has been done with the grand rascals who prompted Conover, . j f Sodrrr XH Texas.- A oorresDondent of the Statesville American write! from Houston, Texas, as follows "While I write of the many inducements of this rich country, I should speak at the same time of some of its most serious objections. The first and greatest is the immorality of the people. The Sabbath, the. day of rest, is made a day of amusement, more particularly in the cities and towns. The billiard and gambling rooms are crowded from morning until late at night, and nothing but the municipal laws have kept the bar rooms and stores closed. Swearing.' drunkenness, cock-fighting, dec, seem to be the fashion of the day. This City, of nearly twenty thousand in habitants, only to-day had tbe doors of the second church opened for Divine worship. One or two others are being built, and the prospect is that some fine churches will grace the City." . for the Western Democrat. Charlotte, April 21, 1867. Editor Western Democrat . tbhe folio wing gem of large hearted liberality, forwarded to me from England by a lady painfully energetic is sub mitted for your consideration. Deprecating any ungallant intention, it may be remarked that she had better pass her leisure time and expend ex plosive philanthropy in carrying coals to New Castle ; or still better, in mitigating the suffering of English vandalism in India. Whatever may ha"ve been the license of Northern soldiery, my observation teaches me that the South have books enough spared Bibles included to send ship loads of literature to the bookless denizens of egotistical, arrogant and presumptive Britain the contents of which would astonish their cate chismal education, as the mariner compass did the aborigines of our country. Its tone vividly suggests an incident I once witnessed at a fire. A sympathetic ignoramus arriving too late to see the conflagration, forth with procured a bucket and commenced throwiag water upon the superheated marble of course crumbling to pieces its remaining usefulness. Such is tbe disposition of those who keep alive (to do avoidable mischief) the dying embers of a past conflict. L. The following is the English circular alluded to: My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, and all who sym pathise with the unfortunate and homeless Confederates. I am requested to enter this appeal to you by Dr. Henry M. Price, of Scottsviile, Albemarle Co., Vir ginia, U. S., the Grantee of the "gift of land", by the Venezulian Government to the desoleted Southern ers of 240,000 square miles of land,, in the district of Gnyaua and Amizomas, in South America, as their future home and abiding place. Will the So licited be so kind as to present any old books, Bibles, Prayer-books, or works of light literature, history, geography or science, to form a nucleus of a library in their new home at Corooi, on the Orinoco River, where numbers bare already sought refuse from the tyranny of the Radical Congress of the United States, and where they hope to cultivate' their native productions in peace, viz : Cotton, Cocoa, Spice, Indigo and Tobacco, for the benefit of themselves and the European markets? The ravages of Sherman and Sheridan left no books or Bibles in the Southern States. The books they could not steal they burned; and for a reading Christian people, I ask yonr literary aid. I feel authorized thus publicly to solicit your donations, as the wife of the Attorney and Representative of this Grant in England and Europe, on behalf of the Confederates, by appointment of Dr Henry M. Price, tbe Grantee and Director, of the Venezulian Land Grant Company. The Donors are particularly re quested to write their names on tbe title-page to en able a pnblic acknowledgement of the same, and to apprise tbe Lady Solicitor where and when they may be sent for.

Many of our readers will be deeply interested in the brief announcement in this issue of our paper, oi tbe death of Mrs- Susan D. Nye Hutchison. Though many years have elapsed since she left North Carolina, the memory of her many excellences lingers still with those who knew her. Many of the mothers and grandmotbers-of North Car olina were educated by her, and bad something of her own character impressed upon them. Intellectually and morally she was one of a thousand; and perhaps no one is better remem bered, after a long separation, by those who knew her. Her virtues will not die with her; but we hope that some one who knew her while she lived amongst us, will prepare for oar col umns a notice of Mrs. II. that may bring those virtues before those 'who had not tbe privilege of a personal acquaiotaqce.
