THE WESTERN DEMOCRAT Oil ARLOTTE, U. G . &)t WtBltxn 33rmorrat. CHARLOTTE, N. C. "bUMOHS OP WAR IN EUROPE. The relations between France and Prussia rc .beginning to assume an appearance of de cided hostility. German papers report that J,ouis Napoleon sent an unpleasant note to King William, and when this statement is denied by the Moniteur, the Emperor's official organ, they re-affirm it, sajing that the Emperor wishes to conceal the correspondence because the Prussian King's reply was defiant. Whether the bad feeling will culminate in an open rupture or gradually die out, cannot be predicted with cer tainty. Cut both powers are seeking alliances with other nations, evidently with a view to a possible conflict. Foreign papers state that "a .council of .war is'at the present moment being ield in Russia, between the staffs of the armies of Russia and Prussia, and under the presidency pf the Czar himself. Plans of campaigns sug gested by probable coalitions between France xmd other States are under consideration. Fur ther, it is asserted that Prussia is eager to begin the war immediately and before France has got into altitude. Russia, however, inclines to a j postponement, which does not make the stnie it may defer less inevitable." On the other hand, Fiance is endeavoring to gain the alliance of Austria. When it is re membered that Louis Napoleon is the remote cause of Maximilian's death and the direct cause jof his failure in Mexico, an alliance with Aus tria seems a delicate matter for him to attempt. But the domestic affections of royalty are not of the Damon and Pythias order, and the proba bilities are that France and Austria will fight together, if there be a war in Europe. Napo Jeon was to visit Vienna about the seventh of ibis month, to offer his "heart-felt condolence" to the Emperor of Austria, for the misfortunes ,of his ill-fated brother. Perhaps he will suc ceed in squeezing out a few tears for his victim; but the main object of his visit is to catch another dupe. A common jealousy and distrust of Prussia is the basis upon which these mon Archs will unite, one of them sealing his cove nant with a brother's unavenged blood. The war, if there be a war, will be one solely .of interest. No principle is involved; there is, indeed, no cause of war but the ambition of -three or four great men, backed up by national prejudices and rivalries. The cause of huajan ity can gain nothing by it, however it may re sult, and may lose much. But, sioce mankind is composed mainly of fools, ready to be led like lambs to the slaughter, at the call of ambition and prejudice, there is ro help for it but in a free blood-letting, in which the rule is "every body for himself and the devil take the hind- KATIONS STOPPED. AVe call the attention of the colored people, end all others interested, to the followiug circu Jar, from which it will be seen that on the 20th of the present month the issue of rations to des titute persons will be discontinued except to the sick in hospitals, orphans in asylums for .refugees and.freedmpn War Department, i Department, ") ;n and Aban'd Lands, V ton, July 20, 18G7. j Bureau ltefe, Freedme Washington It is believed that the extreme destitution, iheretoforo prevailing in the Southern and South western States, has, in a great measure, ceased to exist, and that the provisions for its relief already made under the joint resolution of Con gress, approved March, 18G7, will be sufficient to prevent suffcriog or extreme want. In ac cordance with instructions from the Secretary of War, Assistant Commissioners will be prepared to suspend the issue of supplies under the Act .of Congress above referred to, on the 20th of August. The issue of rations to sick, in regularly or ganized hospital?, and to the Orphan Asylums lor Refugees and Freedmen, may be continued for the present. Such supplies will be obtained from the Subsistence Department, in the man ner provided for by the Circular Letter, from the Commissary-General of Subsistence, dated .November , 18GC. O. O. Howard, Maj. Gen., Commis'r., &c. "The Difference. There was a little passage in the House of Lords recently, between a Duke and an Earl, which shows in a striking manner the difference between the Parliamentary and the Congressional way of charging an opponent with untruth. Of course the enraged style, so com mon in Congress and in some of our newspapers, of denouncing the "base villian" as a "falsifier" or a uIiar" would be enl'rely out of place in either .of the Houses of Lords. II is Lordship, therefore, in bis blandest manner, said : "I beg to call the attention of my noble friend, the noble Duke, to an observation which my noble friend, the noble Duke, is reported to have made, and which my noble friend the noble Duke will find, upon re flection, to be inconsistent with strict veracity." Of course his noble friend, the noble Duke, made the proper explanation or apology. There is no .doubt that it is quite impossible for two men to .quarrel in such a phraseology, or to say any tiling .very rude with "my noble friend, the noble Duke," occurring three times in a single sentence. Some men in America are constantly attempting to justify the grossest rudeness and vulgarity of language by telling us what a fine thing it is always to "call a spade a spade." It is doubt less, a proper and convenient tiling But the illustration is very inapt and silly when used as an excuse to denounce as liars all who fail to see Avilh our eves, or to apprehend with our facul ties, :or to state things so as to agree with our .prejudices, or caprices, or interests, or passions. - . . S3T At the conservative convention which nominated Gen. Helm for the governorship of Kentucky, Col. Wolford, a distinguished officer of the federal army, said : "If history shall show, in the end, that the war .was for tbi2 overrunning and subjugation of the -Southern States, for the purpose of elevating the ;negro to political power at the expense of white .men, born freemen, decendants of our revolution ;ary sires, then I shall turn from my sword with .sorrow, if not with shame." - . A letter has been addressed to General Sickjes by a, committee appointed at a republi can meeting hejd in Charleston, S. C, prqtest ipg against ths appointment of Governor Aiken as a registrar of voters, or to any office of trust ,jor honor, on the ground .that be aided the rebel lion by the contribution of arms and ammuni tion, and .that dutiDg.the .war he entertained Mr Davis at his residence. Wjiat JS Hue to Woman The New Fork Evening fGazette" says: "There never was a ,man who.did too .much for the happiness ol a .woman, and never did a man devote his thought .and care. to the tastes of a true woman who did jjjqt.reajj a rich harvest ip return." LETTER FROM MB. nOLDEN. The following letter from lion. W. W. Ilolden was read at a Republican meeting recently held in Lexington : Raleigh, August 7, 1867. To Messrs. Ilenderson Adams, William F. Jlenderson and Geo. iiilei. Gentlemen : I regret very much it is not in my power to be with you to day. But, though absent in person, I shall be with you in spirit. Mr Harris, who will address you, is a sound Re publican and a true patriot. I know the people will hear him with much interest, and I have no doubt they will profit by what he will say. Gentlemen, the day star of the Union for North Carolina is already above the horizon. It will ascend in glory to its meridian, to shed its beams forever upon the country. I am not merely hopeful, but I am now satisfied that we shall return to the Union under the present acts of Congress. The enemies of the government cannot, if they would, defeat a Convention. The Convention will make a 6ound Republican Constitution. Our opponents will call it a rad ical Constitution. It will be ratified by the people. But if, by possibility, it should bo re jected by the votes of traitors, 1 believe Con gress will not regard their votes, but will accept the Constitution. Our members of Congress will then take their seats. Our new State gov ernment, founded on the everlasting ruck of Truth and Justice, Liberty and Union, will then be put in operation, and amid the rejoicings of loyal millions the star of North Carolina will flash out with new lustre from the flag of the nation. Take courage, yc noble, long-persecuted, long-suffering patriots of the Davidson and Forsyth country, for "the dav of vour redeinp- tion draweth nigh." Treason shall be made odious, loyalty shall be honored, the State will be built up, prosperity will return to us, the weak shall be protected against the strong, the poor shall be cared for, our children shall have schools, churches shall increase and multiply, and the test of merit shall not be property merely, but intelligence and virtue. Our colored friends are our allies and co-laborers in this great work. For one, I bid them welcome to the enjoyment of political, civil and religious liberty. I have full confidence in them. They will run to the Union and stand by it when in danger, as the child, when called, runs to its mother. I am anxious to see and address the people of Davidson. In the course of the ensuing month I expect to go as far west as Buncombe, and I a ill then sieze the occasion, with your kind per mission, to address the people at Lexington. Very truly yours, W. W. 1JOLDEN. INTERNAL REVENUE CIRCULAR The commissioner of internal revenue has issued a circular directing the attention of col lectors to the provisions of the one hundred and fifty-eighth sectiou of the internal revenue laws, and order No. 10, series i, reminding them that i they have now no authority to remit penalties for failure -to affix the necessary stamps to in struments, even though the omission were with out fraudulent intent, unless the instruments are presented to them to be stamped within twelve calendar months after the making or is suing thereof.

"When an instrument is presented to a col lector to be stamped, under the provision of section 158, he is authorized to remit the penalty if it shall be proven to his satisfaction that such instrument was issued without the necessary stamp by reason of accident, mistake, inadver tence or urgent necessity, and without any wil ful design to defraud the United States of the duty or to evade or delay the payment thereof, provided such instrument is presented to him for that purpose, and the stamp tax chargeable thereon i3 paid within twelve calendar months alter the making or issuing thereof."

Pendleton, of Culpeper county, a former member of Congress, arrived here this evening; having been arrested on a charge of perjury, in having registered. The case of Judge Henry W. Thomas, of Fairfax, who arrived last night under arrest for having violated the Civil Rights Rill, by re fusing to take negro testimony, has been set for the next term of the U. S. Court, at which he was bailed to appear. Roth parties had been indicted by Under wood's Grand Jury. AuqusTA, Aug. 12. Weather clear and pleasant. Cotton crop accounts continue favor able from Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Caroliua. The caterpillar lias appeared in some sections, but no serious damage was done. The wheat and cam crop has been the largest in many years. An abundant yield will savethous-1 ands from starvation, and there are no accounts 1 of suffering from sectior heretofore in want. I STATE NEWS. Trinity College. This College 'will open its next session on the 14th inst., and close December 10th, 1867. Trinity College has strong claims upon the liberal patronage of our people and the public generally. It has a full corps of able, experienced and successful teachers. It is located in a healthy and beautiful section of country. Board and tuition are cheap. A correspondent of the Raleigh Sentinel, signing himself "a trustee," suggests Dr. C. F. Deems as a suitable successor to the presidency of the N. C. University, now made vacant by the resignation of President Swain. Penitentiary Roard. This Board, con stituted by Gen. Sickles, met on yesterday, at the Executive office. All the members were present, viz : His Excellency, Gov. Worth, Teeasurer Battle, Mr Speaker McAdee, and Messrs. Wiggins and Harper, Chairmen af the Senate and House Committees of Ficaoce. For the want of more specific information by which to be guided in their deliberations, the Board, after a short session, adjourned to meet again at the call of the Governor. Raleigh Sentinel, Wth. Pardoned. Gov. "Worth has pardoned J as. Briukley, confined in Kinston jail, under sen tence of death. A brother of Brinkley was recently hung. Reward Offered. His Excellency, Gov. Worth, has offered a reward of 8300 for the ap prehension of Thos. Pratt, (white,) who killed James Norcum, (colored,) in Chowan county, some time since, and who is now a fugitive from justice. A Story with a Moral A 'party of col ored men came into town a few days since, sur rendering situations, to obtain work here. After looking about in vain for Beveral days they were but too glad to obtain work any where and were willing to go back to the country for less wages than they had received before. Several of these men, more fortuoate than the rest, were taken by their former employers and at the same wages as before received. The others are wan dering about the streets without a dime in their pockets and without knowing where the next meal is to come from. The moral of this little story of every day life is, to let well enough alone. To every colored man who reads this article we would say : ob tain work whenever and wherever you can. It is of secondary importance as to the amount of wages, but first get work; make yourself a neces sity to your employer and then you will never be compelled to ask a second time for employ ment and will always command fair wages. Wilmington Post. Rockingham, N. C, Aug. 8. The late rains in this section have improved the crops very much, and a friend told me a few days ago, that his cotton crop was the best he had had in ten years. Corn has also improved very much, yet the crop is small. Cotton Crops. It affords us much pleasure to inform our many readers, of the great im provement of the cotton crops which we learn will be very good in this region of the State. The corn crop will, we very much fear, be quite short. Newbern Commerce. More Rain. A copious rain fell in this place and vicinity, last Thursday afternoon, and we learn that rains arc very general in this and adjneeot counties. The weather, at the present writing, is j romisiog of moifture and showers, dispelling gloom and despondency. The corn crop is clean and in fine condition to grow. Statesville Express. Sweet Potatoes. The Bermuda Red Po tatoe, the earliest of the species, is beginning to find its way slowly into this market now. They are brought here in but small quantities and command readily 2.50 and 3 00 per bushel from the carts. Wilmington Post. The N. C. University. Wc-fear from all the intelligence that reaches us concerning this in stitution, that unless speedy and efficient meas ures are adopted to fill its halls with students, the days of the University are numbered. Since the close of the war, aided by an annual appro priation from the State, it has barely been able to continue operations. Its friends were quite hopeful that the present sess?on would witness a large accession to the ri..Lerof students, and that it would commence anew an era of unexam pled prosperity. These expectations have been disappointed, and we regret to learn that some of the students who entered this session have al ready left in anticipation of an early close. Wil son Carolinian. Terrible Outrage We learn that on the 28th of July, Thomas Johnson, son of Oakley Johnson, while at work ic his field in Grayson county, Va , was taken by a party of negroes, tied and carried a short distance to where an other party of twelve negroes and four white men were laying in wait. Here Johnson dis covered that the villains had another white man tied, with nothing on him but drawers and shirt; supposed that they had dragged him from his bed; and he believed that they intended to hang both of them. Johnson made his escape while two of these villains, who were guarding him were asleep; they having been up all the night before. What became of the other man he knows not, but firmly believes he was hung by these villains. This gang of murderers are from Tennessee Johnson had lived in the same State. Wytheville ( Va.) Dispatch. Plain Talk. During the discussion of the suffrage question in the Connecticut Legisla ture, Mr llamersley, of Hartford, said : "Sir, the gentleman from Xew London hag suggested that Congress may force negro suf frage upon us ! and he seems to think we may as well have it now, as to wait for Congress to force it on us. I would not go for the change, under any threat that Congress may make. Let them try it if they dare! Let them send on their armed cohorts and their Generafs, to say to Connecticut You shall have negro suffrage If ire don't resist to (he death, then, sir, our free institutions will be lost forever." Great applause, which drowned the Speaker's ham mer. Waste Nothing. If you are a business man, waste not even the newspapers in which you advertise; but, after you and your family have done with them, send them to your friends and acquaintances, and to merchants scattered abroad. You will find it to your interest by so doing. Like bread cast upon the water, after awhile the attention thus conferred upon others, shall return to you fourfold in substantial busi ness benefits. Newspapers are, par excellence, the great ad vertising mediums f the world. Other modes of advertising, doubtless, do good, more or less; but the newspaper exceeds all others combined, in efficiency and results. DETERMINED TO BE MARRIED. Mr Watts had,, by industry and economy, ac cumulated a large property. He was a man of rather superior mind and acquirements, but unfortunately, became addicted to habits of in temperance. Naturally fond of company, and possessing superior conversational powers, his company was much sought, and he became even tually a sot. His wife was a feeble woman with out much decision of character; but an only child was the reverse illustration of those singular laws of nature that the female oftenest take after the father in character and personal peculiarities and the males after the mother. Mary was well aware of the consequences that would inevitably follow her father's course, and bad used every exertion of persuasion in her power, to induce him to alter his habits, but with out avail; resolutions and promises could not w ithstand temptation, and he pursued his down ward course, till the poor girl despaired of reform, and grievously realized what the end must result in. John Dunn was a young man from the East, possessed of a good education, of indomitable in dustry and perseverance, and was working on the farm of a neighbor by the month. Mary, on going on some errand to the next house, met him on the road with the usual salu tation, "Good morning, Mr Dunn." "Good morning, Miss Watts. Flow is your health ?" "Well, I thank you, to tell the truth, sick at heart." "Pray what is the trouble?" said John. "What can affect a cheerful, lively girl like you, possessing everything that can make you happy ?" 'On the contrary, to make me miserable. I am almost weary of life. But it is a subject I cannot explain to you; and yet I have sometimes thought 1 might." "Anything that I can do for you, Miss Watts, you may freely command." "This is promising more than you would be willing to perform But to break the ice at once, do you want a wife." "A wife ! Well, I don't know. Bo you want a husband?" "Indeed I do, the worst way. I don't know but you think me bold and deficient in that maidenly modesty becoming a woman; but if you knew my situation, and the afflictions un der which I suffer, I think it would be some excuse for my course." "Have you thought of the consequences?" said John; my "situation, I am poor, you are rich I am a stranger and " "Indeed I have; I am almost crazy. Let me explain; you and every one else know the un fortunate situation of my father. His habits are fixed beyond amendment, and his property wasting like dew before the sun. A set of har pies are drinking his very heart's blood, and ruin and misery are staring us in the face. We are almost strangers, it is true, but I have ob served you closely. Your habits, your industry, and the care and prudence with which you have managed your employer's business, have always interested me." "And yet, my dear young lady, what can you know of me to warrant you in taking such aa important step ?" "It is enough for me that I am satisfied with your character and habits your person and manners. I am a woman and have eyes. We are about the same age; so if you know me and like me well enough to takevme, there is my hand !" "And, my dear Mary, there's mine, with all my heart in it. Now when do you desire it to be settled ?" "Now, this minute, give me your arm; we will go to Squire Benton's and have the bargain finished at once. I don't want to enter our house of distress again until I can have one on whom I can relyr, to control and direct the affairs of my disconsolate home and to support me in my determination to turn over a new leaf in our domestic affairs." "But not in this old hat, and in my shirt sleeves, Mary?" "Yes, and in my old sun-bonnet and dirty apron. If you are content, let it be done at once. I hope you will not think that I am hard pushed as that comes to; but I want a master. I am willing to be mistress. I will then take you homo and introduce you as my own dear husband signed, sealed and delivered." "So be if; permit me to say that I have al ways admired you from the first minute I saw you, for your beauty and energy, and indus trious, amiable deportment." "Now, John, if that is sincere, this is the happiest moment of my life, and I trust our union will be long and happy. I am the only one my father hears to; but alas ! bis resolu tions are like ropes of sand. I ew manage him on all subjects; you must take charge of his business, and I have so control, there will be no difficulty." They were married, and a more happy match never was consumated. Everything prospered, houses and barns were repaired, fences and gates were repaired, and the extensive fields smiled and flourished like an Eden. The un fortunate father, in a few years, sank into a drunkard's grave. Mary and John raised a large family, and they still live respected and wealthy all from an energetic girl's resolution, forethought and courage. An Elopement. Another illustration of the proverb that "love goes where it is sent, and laughs at bolts and locksmiths," has just oc curred in this city. Some months ago Charlie B , the son of a rich banker, met and loved a beautiful girl, whom we shall call Fannie P .. Her parents, however, were very poor, and the rich banker looked with much disfavor upon the proposed match, thiuking that his son should look higher. But without regarding the parental frowns, the young man still kept up his oouit ing during the evening, and in the daytime at tended to his business, working patiently, and evidently intending to bide his time. A few days ago the father dispatched his son to the J bank to take up a note of 3,000, giving him the sum in greenbacks. But the son, instead of taking up the note, concluded to take up something else; and going at once to the girl, j they struck up a bargain and eloped together, j crossing the mighty river and leaving a note ! behind addressed to the old gentleman, asking for his blessing, and likewise informing him tuav lucjr nav ieii iic UiUUCJ Willi Llieili. J S j soon as the old gentleman had read the note and j recovered from his astonishment he set off after j the fugitives on a bard trot. To be brief he found them, got back all his money but $200, blessed them and took the pair home with him, where they now reside hUica go Times. Sensible old man. The deaths from the fever in Galreston, Texas, for the week ending the 10th, were 81. There was an increase of ten over the previous dav. It has appeared at Houston. WASHINGTON ITEMS. The President, through Gen. Grant, has in structed Gen. Sickles that he can issue no order conflicting with the process of the Federal Courts. This revokes order No. 10, interfeiing with cases recently adjudicated by Judge Chase, in North Carolina. A ridiculous rumor that Mr Johnson has been act vised by his friends to resign, and that he has seriously considered the proposition, has been circulated and discussed here for the last twenty-four hours by curbstone gossips. We have excellent authority for saying that no one ha9 made such a suggestion to Mr Johnson, and if it had not been made a subject for grave inquiry it would scarcely be necessary to add that the President has never had the matter under con sideration. There are rumors of the resignation of two or three members of the Cabinet, but tb ere appears to be no foundation for them, except the state ment that the Postmaster General informed one of his friends on Friday last that he was deter mined to resign, not, however, upon political considerations, but on account ot personal in terests. We give you this for what it is worth. The Prcsideut has not had any intimation of a purpose to resign on the part of any member of his Cabinet. The jurors in the Surratt case report that if, under the charge of the court, they would have been permitted to find the prisoner guilty as an accessory to the plot to abduct Mr Lincoln, they could have found a verdict of guilty in thirty minutes. Lawyers here say the dismissal of Mr Brad Icy from practicing at the bar will not hold good; that the rules and practice require that specifi cations should be regularly filed and Mr Bradley should have bad an opportunity to file his an swer and be heard by hiuisilf or counsel. The Surratt Jury. Surratt has been committed again to the custody of the marshal and has been remanded to jail, there to remain, probably, until next December, as a trial cannot be bad before that time, it having been decided that the last jurors were illegally drawn, and a new drawing cannot be had until the end of the year. During the entire retirement of the jury they stood eight for acquittal and four for con viction. It has transpired, through a source secretly reliable, that the main point upon which the jury differed was the question of Surratt's presence in Washington on the day of assassina tion. The jury entirely agreed that had Sur ratt been indicted for conspiracy he would have been convicted immediately upon their retire ment. The Reported Treasury Mismanagement. The reported robbery of the U. S Treasuiy emanates from a new paper published by Ed. E. Dunbar, long intimate with, and a confidential Clerk in, the Treasury Department, and President of the Continental Bank note company. The paper contains a long article on the subject, em bracing three points: Criminal and reckless mismanagement, enormous deficiencies, and fraud ulent duplicate issues. Hundreds of millions are involved in the redemption of duplicate coupons. He insists, finallj', that thegoverumeut is ignorant of the amount of paper afloat. 3STew Fall Goods At BRE3I, BROWN & CO'S.
