U. S. A From the Raleigb Sentinel, " SHODDY." The meaning of the word "Shoddy" is be coming obscured by a new use now .being made of it. It is now applied to certain parties who have become rich suddenly by the manufacture ot a particular kind of cloth In large cities and densely populated districts, old hats, and clothes, and blankets, and anything else that contains wool, ar bought up and ground up into material to be mixed in with the woolen fibre for cloth. It is merely caught up into the warp and filling in a loose maoner, and, though ot no real service, it nevertheless adds to the a. a a on .a weigm ana neips nil up. As the goods are worn, this material wears or sifts out, ai gathers in lumps between the cloth and its lining, and may be taken out by the haodfull. This kind of cloth was originally called Shod dy," and, being made largely 't'or the public," the manuiacturers now go by the name of "Shod dy contractors." lhe buyers ot these old bats and coats are found in the greasiest streets of largo cities, and are usually greasy little rat-dog looking men, wno advertise under the call for "cast off cloth ing. lint their trade corresponds with the avocation of those who buy up cats for the makers of bologna sausages. It is a matter of congratulation that North Carolina can boast of a manufactory, on a lare and honorable basis, that makes no shoddy, but J -1 ....... aeais soieiy in nonest and faithful goods, a fact now being" testified toby numberless papers oiuwc tun ec-uuuci caiKu puuuo attention, in a late issue, to this North Carolina Factory "The Rock island Manufacturing Company' The large number of allusions to these woolen goods, and the many endorsements of them, by many who know them of old, endorsements that have been reproduced by your paper, proves that the "Rock Island" goods are really good goods. Q The Rock Island Factory, alluded to by the Sentinel's correspondent is located in this city.

McDonald, President of the Union League at Waynesville.llaywood County, shot two negroes. The News says : It appears that McDonald is a shoemaker, in the employ of another person, and had repaired a pair of shoes for a negro, who in the abscence of McDonald, had received the shoes from the owner of the shop. On his way from the shop, the negro met McD. who asked if he bad paid for the work, and being told by the negro that he had not, he attempted to take the slices from the negro, and a scuffle ensued. McD. drew a knife, and the negro armed himself with stones. McD. then ran into the house, got a shot-gun and fired at the negro, but missed him, and wounded two others standing by, in the neck. severely. lie is now in the hands of the military. fST A bold attempt to Burglariously break into a Lady a Chamber, was made on bunday evening, 8th inst , at 10 o'clock at the residence of Mr Phillip s on Craven street near Uroad street The thief ascended the piazza of the dwelling and endeavored to affect an entrance through the window into the chamber of Mr Phillip's daughter who had retired to rest The young lady mdis creetly gave the alarm,. by a loud si-ream, when she saw the eyes of the marauder peering in upon her, which aroused the whole neighlorhood and enabled him to jump from the roof of the piazza and make his escape. Mr Phil bps believes that his daughters gold watch and chain, which was on the toilet table, near the window, was the prize which the bold invader, (who was evidently acquainted with the premises) wa3 about to seize, and decamp with. Aeicuern Journal Vommerce Beaufort Harbor. Dr. Hawks in his ad mirable history of North Carolina, says "as the charter to the Lords proprietors conferred oo them the power of making seaports," the legis lation passed an act for incorporating "the sea port of Beaufort in Carteret" for the purpose as they declared ot encouraging trade and com nierce: and a part of the money derived from the sale of lots is directed to be expended "in purchasing great guns, and for fortifying the said town." It seems strange that knowing Beaufort Harbor as they did, they should not have so appreciated its advantages as to direct all their energies towards making it their com niercial mart Hist. N. C, Vol.11, p. 166. If it was surprising that the early colonists should have neglected Beaufort Harbor, how much the more are its advantages unappreciated now! with a channel of 22 feet water, and one con tinuous line of rails from the vessel's side to the mountain's top, a distance of over 350 miles, there is scarcely business enough for a single schooner! There is not on all the seacoast from Norfolk to Savannah, a port offering equal nat ural advantages to Beaufort Harbor, and if North Carolinians wish to have a sea port town that will add to the business and prosperity of their btate, they must withdraw their trade through Virginia, and other ports, and concentrate it at the only point that offers advantages for the making of a great city.

A little girl, three years of age, on Sunday week, was sleeping in her crib bed in the bed room of her mother, the husLand and father be-r ing absent attending to his business, which is o a public nature, and which keeps him up uights, A door opening into the sitting or dining room of the house was ajar, and in the sitting room the upper sash of the window had been lowered as was the custom- In the middle of the night the little girl cried out ma, ma, kitty u biting me." lhe mother went to the crib and on ex- amining her found that the large toe of one o her feet bad been bitten, and that just above the ankle there were two more wounds from which the Mood flowed freely. She was quite alarmed knowing that there was no cat about the house. and she was quite perplexed to find out what had bitten her child. Stopping the bleeding, she was about placing her in her own led, when she asked to be allowed to remain in her crib, where she could piay with "kitty 7 The father on com ing home in the morning, was informed what had transpired in the night by his wife, and he examiued the wounds on the hgs ofhis daughter and at once saia ne tnougnt them to have been produced by a rat. During the day a neighboring woman said she had observed on more than one occasion a large rat climbing to the outside of the window sill. The following night lhe door between the bed room and sitting room was closed. When all had become quiet a rat was heard koawing at the threshold of tha door. The husband was in formed of the matter in the morning and deter mined, if possible, to catch the rat. This he did in two or three mornings afterwards seeing the rat enter the room by means of the window, which was lowered from the top. Hoisting the sash, he let himself into the house by the door and with a club dispatched it. He threw it into the yard where his wife could see it when the arose. Shortly after the usual time of rising, the little girl came into the house with the dead rat rolled up in her apron and complaining bitterly to her mother because "nana had killed her kit ty," All day she raouned over the - loss of her pet, and from what can be gathered from her there is not much doubt that she had been in the habit of playing with it in the day time and its sharing her bed with her nights until its bitinr heri brought about its qciAh-Jfochester TJnionf ' From tn WilmiDgton Posi, , I2IZIIGBATXON AND LABOR. We have alluded freqently in oar columns to the great want of immigrants in North Caro lina. Every day must bring before tbe public, the great necessity Tor more labor and more ex tended manufacturing and agricultural in terests. In order to fciiog aboat an extended immi gration it w necessary that a thorough organiza tion of a Company or Companies should be made under the control of intelligent and honorable men, under tbe patronage of the State and sup plied with means from her treasury. Jittort8 are now being made tit Virginia. Georgia, South Carolina and we presume other of the Southern States, to bring before the for eign public, statistics and all other information which may be desired and to turn a portion of the immense current arriving in the United States, this way. Among tbe first to take steps toward this ob ject is Gen John A. Wagner, Commissioner of I mm lgration, appointed by the State of South Carolina. In his recent letter addressed to "The Landholders of South Carolina" he re commends that those desiring to sell lands should take care to advertise and register them in some well known and' accessible locality and that these lands be advertised in the best markets of the world making tbe price as rea sonable, and the terms as liberal as possible that the Bureau of Immigration take charge of this matter as, of course, it is not at all prob able that an entire stranger will come to pur chase lands, with only the indefinite knowledge that lands are for sale, while the beaten track to the Western States is so familiar to every one. . A central Bureau should be established at the most' important point- in the State, having branches established in every District or Coun ty, or, may work through the agency of our Agricultural Societies, all of which are interest ed in the scheme of increasing our laborers. There will be in the outset many obstacles to overcome, which will require energy and man agement; above all there should be competent and reliable agents abroad, sent from the State, who have all tho desired knowledge of its re courses, advantages, health and peculiarities. speaking the language of the Country whence the people are to come. We have among us a highly intelligent German population, well in formed in regard to all the subjects of interest, and from Germany, Denmark and Sweden we may look for the most desirable agriculturists. We are informed that in the late Kingdom of Hanover, conquered in the late war by Prussia, there are thousands waiting to come to this country a most desirable population. In order further to encourage immigration there should be concert of action among the large land-holders dividing large tracts into small farms, not exceeding twenty acres, selling to actual settlers alternate farms thus enhanc ing tbe value of the reservations -encouraoinsr and assisting by advice and information based upon experience and above all adapting the cultivation of neighboring tracts to the produc tion of such articles of food as are palatable to these new comers probably more dissatisfac tion has arisen from this cause than any other. Most of them discard Bacon and Pork, and look upon our corn bread as an abomination, in this particular, they must have entire control. We not long ago met a Frenchman recently import ed to cultivate grapes in our State, then fleeing toward his native land be was satisfied with the work, shelter and treatment, but we shall never forget the prolonged Sacre with which be alluded to bacon, greens and corn bread Good flour bread, (made by themselves when in numbers,) plenty of greens, lettuce, Sweet Oil and codfish : with ouions, and occasionally fresh meat with a daily bottle of wine would have made the Frenchman as happy as a Lord With these facts in view, it is much better that immigrants come in considerable numbers and settle iu small neighboring communities where they may indulge in their national games and holidays where they may enjoy their own mode of worship from Clergymen of their own Lhurcu and speaking their own Ian guage. ie oiner woras, io make lor them a home, endeared by the resemblance it bears to the father land. We cauot make a strange peo pie to sympathize with our prejudices, our feel ings, or tastes. We must leave them to their own. In 1860, the foreign born population of our State numbered 3,299 souls, or in the ratio of 498 of 100,000, of the population which was 661,563 of free persons. This is the smallest number of immigrants in any of the States or Territories of the United States and this out of an immigration from Oct. 1st 1819 to May 31st, 1S60, of 5,469,421 souls and there were living in tne unuea oiaies on ine last aacc aDove 4,- TTI . 1 ft I . 1 . i A r lo0,lo foreign born persons. Why has North Carolina been so far behind her sister States? We cannot see. We do hope that this matter will receive the attention which it merits. We want population. Will not some of our prominent men take hold of this matter as has been done in other States recol lect that every immigrant adds greatly to the wealth of a State aside from the money he brings with him a pair of strong arms and willing heart are an addition beyond the calcu lation given it in figures. ; One good farm in a neighborhood stimulates others.

In ealling your attention to pur large and varied stock of Fertilizers, intended , for the Wheat to be sown this Fall, we bee leave to call your attention to tho -fact that notwithstanding tne neavy rains wmcu icu uunug iuc muuius v m m . Z ' - .m. - 11" . March. April and Nay, tne yieia in most cases has been large and proved a profitable invest ment to the Farmer. This shows a much better result than might have been expected, as the heavy rains in the Spring saturated the soil and carried a large portion of the Fertiliser beyond the reach of the fibrous roots of the Wheat, hence the plant had merely a tuft of root to afford it nourishment. This will account for the partial failure of the crop. Farmers should consider, the contingencies of season, which affect results, against which no fertilizer can, in the nature of things, provide. The Pacific Guano which we sold last Fall, for Wheat, has proved a success in nearly every instance. Mr Laban Lineberger of Gaston county, informs us that hie Wheat was excellent in quality and very abundant. Samuel P. Smith of this city, writes us aa follows : "I used one ton of Pacific Goano on about 10 acres of 'old land,' on which 1 sowed one bushel of Booebton' Wheat to the acre. The field yielded 125 bufhel of good wheat eqaal in quality ta the Wheat sowed. I am of opinion that without the use of tbe Guano, I should not have made more than 5 or 6 bushels per acre, as was clearly eri denced by the fact that the Guano ras distributed during windy weather and that portion of each 'land' where the Guano fell thickest yielded nearly double the amount of that which received tbe less quantity. I am fully satisfied of Us merits as a Fertilizer for Wheat, ana expect to se it again this Fall. " "Signed, ; 8. P. SMITH."
