THE WESTERN DEMOCRAT, C II AllLOTTE; N; C je WtBltxn emorrat CHARLOTTE, N. C. "DIXIE COOKERY." We are pleased to see that this Book, gotten op by a Southern woman, (Mrs. V. C. .BarringeT of Concord, N. C.,) i3 meeting with great suc cess North and South. Singularly enough, the most complimentary notices come from Massa chusetts. It would prove a striking featuro in the political history of the country, if the work cf restoration came chiefly through the Jcitchen. Probably when the two sections come to love the same dishes, tLey may come to love each other. The Boston Courier says: This book of 121 pages ie like an egg, filled to the shell, with valuable and healthy nutri ment. It mentalizes the material, and imparts to a boiled potato even, the value of a scientific jesult. The great Southern system ot hospi tality, so much lauded by travellers, is here made manifest j and we are brought into ac quaintance with the w.hole arcana of their deli cious mode of edible preparations. We who tave had experience with these Southern homes in the regal time of their kitchenry, recognize a Lost of old friends in tho exact receipts of Mrs. BarriDger, and our mouth waters over the con templation of the glorious feasting we have en joyed among our rebel brethren in the days gone by. The old Constitution of the land may bo deranged and destroyed by party strife, but with the blessings from above, our old constitution of the body corporal flourishes in full vigor, and our landlady or wife, as the case may be, will now have no excuse for ill prepared, or injudi ciously mixed forage. Tho bread receipts are of themselves worth the price of the book; and as to pastry and cakes but buy the book .find try at." The Boston Transcript discourses thus : "In fact, wc find in this little book tho "vade mecum" of domestic satisfaction : a guide, a counsellor and friend; and therefore it behooves U3 all to turn our Bteps Loring-ward (the pub lisher) and obtain the book that solves at last the problem that so long has hung over the private living of our Southern brethren and sisters." The publisher says in one of his advertise ments : "Dixio Cookery is being bought by all our housekeepers, aud Northern reconstruction fol lows in its track with the greatest success." gST We copy the following items from the Iialcigh Sentinel : Neva Charters.

Goodloe. The following letter from Daniel B. Goodloe, Esq , (U. S. Marshal for North Carolioa,) was read before a Eepublican meeting ia Warren toD, N. 0. : Raleigh, July 17th, 1867. My Dear Sir: If I could bo present at the meeting on Saturday, and were gifted with the powers of utterance equal to those possessed by many gentlemen who will be there, I would say to the white people that there is no escape from the present state of things from military rule, from disfranchise ment, and from the paralysis of industry, except through the gate of reconstruction offered by the acts of Congress. Opposition to those acts, whether active or passive, will be equally un availing. Failure to form a State government will remit the control of affairs entirely to the hands of the military, or to those of persons who can take the test oath. On the other hand, re construction under the acts of Congress will im mediately restore five-sixths of the people to their lights under the Constitution, and will render easy and certain the restoration of the remainder. To the people of color I would say, I rejoice that you are free. It is a consummation my heart has yearned for from my youth up. I desired that it should come peacefully, with the consent of tho white people; and I have from my early manhood devoted all the energies of my mind to the work of convincing white men that black men have equal rights in tho sight of God, and should have equal rights before human tribunals with themselves. And now that you arc free, and also citizens and voters, I take the liberty of advising you to live on the very best terms with your white neighbors, and with those who formerly held you as slaves. Listen to no man who whispers the word confiscation in your ears, or disfranchisement, or injury in any form to your law-abiding white neighbors. Remem ber that if you were born slaves, the white peo ple were born slaveholders, or were brought up amid prejudice, and under uojust laws, which existed before they wero born. We are all more or less the creatures of circumstances; and as custom under the old order of things pro duced unjust prejudices against you, so custom, under the new order of things, will change pre judices and opinions, and turn them in your favor, if you are true to yourselves, lor, as Shakspeare says, he who is true to himself will be false to no man. There are eminent men in Congress, and in the Northern States, who have talked loosely about a general confiscation of the property of the Southern people. I am sure they have no real conception of the fearful calamities they would produce if their policy were carried out. They would ruin the black people as well as the whites; the loyal as well as the disloyal; for they would destroy all credit and confidence, all en terprise and effort, and thus make it impossible to give employment to laborers. All house servants, field hands, and laborers of every kind would lose their places if those who have pro perty are to be deprived of it by confiscation. No crops would be raised; and starvation every where would follow, as it has followed in the track of the great armies which contended against each other in the South. If confiscation should take place, I warn the colored people against indulging in the hope that they would get anything by it. I know the thing will never happen, and that it is morally impossible; but if we suppose for a moment that it is undertaken, we may be sure that it will call forth, or produce the most heartless and corrupt set of officials that ever existed, and that they would steal everything, squander everything, and leave nothing for the government or the colored peo ple. But be assured that nothing of the kind is thought of by any considerable body of men in Congress. Demagogues may come among you and tell you otherwise to deceive you, and to secure your votes; but they are as little your friends as they are tho friends of the white peo ple. If you doubt it, ask them how long they have been the champions of your rights ? In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred you will find that such men would have sold you to the sugar planters and cotton planters of the fair South at any time before you were set free. To whites and blacks I would say, let us cease talking of the past. We can never agree as to the merits of the great controversy. But in the future there is but one course left open. We will make a constitution as free as that of Ver mont; and under it we will have equal laws, equal advantages and opportunities in life. Then every man must rise or fall according to his merits. Thus, my dear sir, you have the substanoe of what I would hko to say to the people of War ren on Saturday, if I could spare the time from my official engagements. I am, very faithfully, your friend, Daniel R. Goodloe. Prof. Jas. II. Foote, Warrenton, N. C. GOOD ABBANGEMENT. Bureau of Ref, Freedmen and Aban'd Lands, Headquarters Asst. Cum., State of N.

In consequence of the surplus of labor in some sections, and the great demand in others, it becomes apparent that some method should be inaugurated for a more equal distribution of the same; to this end officers and agents will provide themselves with a register, and record all applications of employment desired, and laborers wanted, so that such wants may be supplied either at the local station, or from dis tant parts of the State. The record will show sex, age, color, and Dature of employment de sired ; if it is skilled labor it will be specifically stated. At the end of every ten days a list of thoso still unemployed will be furnished these Headquarters. Reports of those wishing to en gage laborer will be forwarded at tho game time, giving particulars as to kind of labor wanted, with price to be paid, Sic. By command of Col. and Bvt. Maj. Gen.

STATE NEWS. The University of North Carolina. From a private letter received by a gentleman in this place from a friend in Chapel Hill, we learn that Gov. Swain, President of the Univer sity, announced to the students a few days since, that from that day he would no longer occupy the Presidential Chair in the Faculty. His resignation, it is reported, has been or soon will be svnt in, but it is stated that it has not, as yet, been officially announced. It was also reported that Col. W. J. .Martin, Professor of Chemistry, has also tendered his resignation. If this, together with Governor Swain's is ac cepted, of the old Faculty there will remain but Professors Hubbard, Fetter, Chas. Philips and Smith. The number of students now pursuing their studies at the University is stated at from eigh ty to ninety. It will be well for our people to consider who will be a suitable person to fill Gov. Swain's place. Wilmington Journal.

R. W. Best, Esq , Secretary of State, left for New York, on Monday last, to close, as Agent, a bargain for the sale of 50,000 acres of State lands, and from 70 to 90, 000 acres of lands owned by Col. Bryson, and others, perhaps, df Jackson, lying in the Counties of Jackson, Macon and Cherokee, to the Ameri can Agricultural and Mineral Company. This Company was chartered by the last Legislature, and its headquarters are in New York. Several Northern gentlemen , as well as citizens of the State, comprise the Company. We learn that it is the purpose of the Company to put upon these lands, in a short time, 20,000 sheep, for wool-growing. Besides this, several thousand laborers will be employed in mining, &q. We hope this is but the beginning of a large ingress of industrious, enterprising people into the State. Raleigh Sentinel. J6t?

A FRIEND IN NEED." Tho New York Sun has an editorial giving some good advice to parents to give their boys a good trade. That is the best "friend in need" the editor knows of, as life wears on, and be adds : Every day (we aro told) there are instances of men slipping from high rounds to the lowest one in the ladder of wealth. Business men find themselves engulphed in the sea of financial embarrassment, from which they emerge with nothing but their personal resources to depend upon for a living. Clerks, salesmen and others find themselves thrown out of employment, with no prospect of speedily obtaining places which they aro competent to fill, and with no other means of gaining a livelihood. How many men there are in this city to-day, some of whom have families dependent upon them for support, who bewail the mistake they made in not learning useful trades in their younger days? There are hundreds of them. There are men here who have seen better days, men of educa tion and business ability, who envy the mechan ic who has a sure support for himself and family in his handicraft. Parents make a great mis take when they impose upon the brain of their boy the task of supporting him without prepar ing his bands for emergencies. No matter how favorable a boy's circum stances may be, he should enter the battle of life as every prudent general enters the battle of armies with a reliable reserve to fall back opon in case of disaster. Every man is liable to be reduced to tho lowest pecuniary point, at some stage of his life, and it is hardly necessary to refer to the large proportion of men who reach that point. No man is poor who is the master of a trade. It is a kind of capital that defies the storm of financial reverse, and that clings to a man when a'l else has been swept away. It consoles him in the hour of adversity with the assurance that, let whatever may befall him, be need have no fear for the support of himself and his family. Unfortunately, a silly notion, the offspring of a sham aristocracy, has of late years led many parents to regard a trade as something disreputable, with which their children should not be tainted. Labor disre putable! What would tho world be without it? It is the very power that moves the world. A power higher than the throne of aristocracy has ennobled labor, and be who would disparage it must set himself above the Divine principle. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.' A trade is a 'friend in need;' it is independence and wealth a rich legacy which the poorest father may give to his son, and which the rich est should regard as more valuable than gold." Military Sentence. We learn by a com munication received from Maj. D. D. Lynn, Commandant of the Post of Chester, that Ned Tate, a freedman of this District, who was ar rested some time ago on a charge of carrying a deadly weapon, in violation of the order of Gen. Sickles on that subject, has been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to be confined at bard la bor for two months. Yorlville Enquirer. Georgia. The political situation is exciting considerable interest. The recent letters of Messrs. Hill, Perry and Johnson have shaken the faith of many who heretefore were in favor of reorganizing under the Military Bill. It is said that the anti-Convention feeling is becom-' iog stronger with the white people. ; WASHINGTON ITEMS. The following circular has been issued, ad dressed to the District Attorneys and Marshals of the United States : ' "By direction of the President of the United States you are hereby instructed to observe with vigilance all persons whom you have reason to suspect of combining unlawfully for expeditions into the territory of any foreign cation; and to promptly interpose the authority of the United States, whenever you have probable cause for believing that any person has violated the na turalization law of the United States." The Freedmen's Bureau has advices that ex treme destitution in the South and Southwest has ceased. The issue of rations, except to the hospitals, orphan Asylum and extreme cases, will be discontinued on the 20th of August. A curious story has come to light to-day rela tive to General Grant, and a Washington detec tive, a very well known Massachusetts politician. If it is true, it developes a most extraordinary plan, concocted by an enemy of General Grant, to ferret out something to the disadvantage of that distinguished commander. The story is to the effect that the General has recently discov ered that he has been watched by a detective wherever he goes whether at the theatre, on a drive in the country, or about town, or in the railroad train. It is said this detective has been on his track watching him closely, and af terwards reporting progress to the Massachu setts politician, whose name shall not be men tioned. Recently General Grant paid several visits to the national theatre here, and the de tective was seen prowling about. Gen. Grant started for West Point, and the detective was found in the train. The General sometime after started for New York, and the detective was again io the train, and on the track of the Gen eral during his movements about the metrop olis. One night while in New York, General Grant left his hotel for a drive, and was followed in a carriage by the detective. lie returned hastily to Washington, in obedience to a sum mons from the judiciary committee, and the de tective followed him to this city, where, imme diately on his arrival, he (the detective) re paired to the house of the Massachusetts politi cian to report progress, alleged. The move ments of this detective becoming known to him, General Grant sent for him and asked him by what authority he watched bis movements, and who employed him in such a strange business. The detective promptly answered that the Gen eral was mitsaken as to his movements; that he the detective) was employed in no such work, but simply on private business, hunting up tes timony for a congressional committee recently appointed, and that the fact that he (the detec tive) happened to be in the same train with and so near the General on several occasions was purely accidental. I am informed, however, that the same poli tician from Massachusetts, who held a high commission in the army during the war, is sup posed by General Grant to have resorted to the same species of spying over his (Gen. Grant's) movements while in command of the army, and that he thus kept himself posted of everything transpiring, at headquarters. It may be that the affair is somewhat exaggerated, but I think not. The object, supposing my information to be correct, is undoubtedly to hunt up something derogatory to General Grant, to be used against him in the Presidential contest. It is supposed that the Massachusetts poli tician referred to is Gen. Butler. The Washington Chronicle gives up all hope of the conviction of Surratt. The evidence for the defence has been so complete and exeulpa tory, that the verdict is regarded as a foregone conclusion. Mrs Surratt (the mother of the prisoner) was tried before a military commission. She was not permitted a hearing before the re cognized tribunals, or according to the accus tomed laws of the land. She was convicted at a time when the passions of the whole country were aroused, and when it wa3 almost impossi ble to gain an impartial audience. But even then, the public sentiment of the country was divided in reference to the case. She was, it is true, sentenced and executed, but this was never regarded as a satisfactory judgment. At the time the sentiment was general and earnest that there had been grave error, resulting in a conviction not in accordance with the real truth. And the opinion has since been strengthened that excitement took the place of justice and suspicion of proof. The public mind never has been satisfied of the guilt of Jkrs Surratt. It never has yielded its assent .to the correctness of her conviction. The real jsentiment is that of a great mistake committed. Several South Carolinians opposed to the re publicans who have recently been in Washington say the leading conservatives have proposed the terms of a bargain to some of the leading colored citizens, to the effect that the conservatives will help the blacks to elect their candidates for Con gress, without regard to color, provided the blacks give the whites contiol of the State government. Statements of a similar character have hereto fore been made in regard to South Carolina poli ticians, but there ia no evidence that such a bar gain has or cau be effected A delegation from Pennsylvania, represent ing the Conservative Republican party, called on the President. They represented themselves in no condition to act with the Democratic par ty, but propose acting distinctly. The Presi dent declined giving them advice, expressing himself hopefully, a3 the issue of the hour was in (he people's hands. . Confederate Bonds. The occasional demand for Confederate Bouds, now and then alluded to by the papers, has created very false impressions. Some very senseless and malicious persons have even gone so far as to attribute it to tho confi dence some Southerners have in the revival and ultimate success of the Confederate cause, than which there is nothing more silly or unfounded. We have before us a letter to a gentleman of this city, which says: "I have an order for a large amount of Confederate Bonds, issues of 18lh August 1861, or 20th of Feb. 1S64, 8 per cents, coupons attached," for which he offers 3 for everv ?10OO. Some have offered as high as $4 per thousand. Now all these persons know, and so should the rest of mankind know, that they are utterly worthless and alvays will be, yet they are in de mand in Europe among the stock-jobbers. Why, simply, that these slock brokers in Europe, while they were worth something, pending the war, made large sales of these bonds, to be delivered on time, as they could get them up. Many of them sold thort, or more than they could supply before the Confederacy "went up," and are now endeavoring to supply the deficit, to hold the contractors or buyers to the original contract This is the simple explanation which we have re ceived from ouc who knows. Raleigh Sentinel, AN ACT To allow Fees to Justices of the Peace in Meck lenburg County, and to Increase those of Constables in said County. Section 1. Be it enacted by the General As sembly of the State of North Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the Justices of the Peace in Mecklenburg county shall be allowed the following fees : For every State's warrant twenty-five cents; for every attachment fifty cents; for holding exam ination in criminal cases, fifty cents; for every hundred words used in reducing testimony to writing, ten cents; for every subpoena for a wit ness or juror, five cents; for original process in all cases where the intervention of a jury is re quired, one dollar; for every ca-sa fifty cents.

THE DUTIES OP LEADING MEN. It is a noteworthy fact that few of the emi nent men now in retirement have come forward to advise the people as to their proper course of action. Whether this proceeds from that want of self-confidence which sometimes, but rarely, results from failure and disappointment, or whether it is from timidity, from disgust for the situation, or from the conviction that privacy and reserve are most becoming under the cir cumstances, we cannot undertake to determine. At all periods of history people have looked to those citizens whom they have been accustomed to trust and to honor for advice and guidance under difficulties. We are yet to learn that' misfortune cancels the obligations and duties which public men are so ready to assume and discharge in peaceful and prosperous times when honors and rewards are at the disposal of the people. A great naturalist has observed that 'in the struggle for life, a grain may turn the balance io favor of a given structure, which will then be preserved." This remark is true of every struggle whose success depends upon human influence and agency. In this struggle for the redemption and reconstruction of Vir ginia, which we think can be consummated in a manner satisfactory to every interest involved to Congress, the Republican party, and the people of the State, there is a diversity of opin ion. Some have doubts as to the true policy, some have conscientious scruples, some are tor mented with points of honor, and some think that regard for poetry and romance requires that they should invite further suffering and sacrifice. The public mind is distracted. The people want advice the advice of those whose counsels they have been accustomed to respect. Their advisers are silent, and we are all left to grope our way through the surrounding dark ness as best we can. We are not disposed to complain unnecessarily, but we feel called upon to ask is this obstinate silence worthy of those who maintain it. Are the people to be deserted in their hour of extremist need by those whom they formerly delighted to honor ? When the war was talked of, the people did Dot have to beg for advice. It was not only freely tendered, but pressed upon them. They followed this ad vice, and by so doing got into the present diffi culties. Is it not the duty of those who were instrumental in leading them into these difficul ties now to come forward and endeavor at least to lead them out into a place of repose and safety ? The influence of a half-dozen eminent men cast in favor of the policy wo advocate would remove all the impediments to its success That is the "grain" which is needed to "turn the balance. That is a selfish, arrogant, egotistical losric with which such persons seek to solace themselves that their importance and self-respect require that they should hold aloof and leave the people to bear the peltings of a pitiless storm. It is as much their duty as it is that of the humblest citizeus of the Commonwealth to aid in the re construction of the State. More, iudeed just so much more as they have in former times been honored and rewarded by the now deserted people. Richmond Whig. The Salt op the Earth. A debate in the Connecticut Legislature on the divorce laws brings out the fact that during the past year four hundred and eighty-eight dissolutions of the marriage bond occurred in that small State, and that during the previous year there were quite as many divorces.
