"The Northern papers are speculating about iha number of persons excepted by the recent amnesty proclamation of the President. Upon inquiry we find that there is no satisfactory .data upon which to found a definite calculation; but a reasonable conjecture may be ventured. In the first place, the President and Vice Presi dent ((Messrs. Davis and Stephens), and the 'Heads of Departments" of the Confederate government, are unequivocally excluded. Of the latter we learn that there were, from first to last, thirteen in all, of whom five have been .-specially pardoned at the instance of distin--guished Radicals, viz : Messrs. Ileagan, Meru xninger, Mallory, Trenholm and Davis, the latter appointed Attorney General near the close of the war. About twenty Governors of States, also expressly excluded, remain unpardoned. five generals namely, Lee, Cooper, Johnson, Jieauregard and I3ragg ten lieutenant generals, .and about thirty major generals, are excluded from amnesty by the express tcrns of the pro- clamation, and remain unparponcd individually. Jf the language employed in the proclamation, 'however, shall be held to include brigadiers with the brevet rank of major general, the num ber of the military exclusions will be largely in . creased probably to the extent of several hun dred. There were but three admirals in the Confederate navy one of whom (Forrest) is cow dead and no rank between that of admiral and captain existed. The persons designated as '.'agents" of the Confederate Government "in foreign States and countries" will reach, per haps, two hundred, if it shall be held to em brace other than those accredited to the Govern ment abroad, as it doubtless will, there being no lOther construction which would admit of ex cluding particularly obnoxious persons without specially naming them. We take it for granted, .however, that in the mass of these cases special pardons will now be gianted upon application, as a matter of course. The above comprehend all those excluded of the first class, and they will not probably number practically over one hundred, if so many. Of the number of those excluded as belong ing to the second and third classes, nothing like ;an accurate estimate can, of course, be made, ilt is presumable, however, that nearly all who are embraced in the second, that is, those who .are chargeable with treating prisoners impro perly, have been either tried and convicted or acquitted or are held to bail, and are, conse quently, included in the third. It is safe, there fore, if this supposition be correct, to infer that but few will be excluded under the second and third classes. .Upon the whole, after the disposition of the applications for pardon now on file, which we :hope will be done in the spirit which dictated the proclamation, it is not believed that the .entire number of. the excluded will finally reach beyond a few hundred. National Intelligencer. .JOHN WILKESBOOTH'S EFFECTS. Washington, Sept. 15. The proprietors .of the hotel in this city where John Wilkes jBooth last stopped and where his baggage was .seized by the government, yesterday received a .latter from C. U. Bishop, the comedian, who vwrites on. behalf of Edwin Booth, in which he .requests that his brother's trunk be forwarded rto him, as the lamily are anxious to obtain pos session of all of Wilkes Booth's effects. The letter states that Edwin Booth is prepared to pxj whatever may be the amount of his broth er's .indebtedness to the hotel on presentation -of the bill. The proprietors of the hotel took -.this letter to the war department, and requested permission to forward the trunk, but this re . quest, it is said, was positively refused. The St. Louis Democrat publishes a letter .from a gentleman, for whose character it vouches, which narrates that an Alabama refuge told tho writer that he believed J. Wilkes Booth was : alive, for the reason that when in Washington he entertained a beggar one niht, who, after writing a note went outside and held the fol Jowfog conversation with some one who met :bim: Some one asked him if it was ready. He replied, 'Yes; what news?" and was answered, "None; only Mr Johnson wishes you to make -haste. Ho says he cannot breathe easy until .you are on board of the vessel " "And, no doubt, bo srishes the vessel may founder," was jny guest's reply rather hoarsely and scarcely .aadible; but be continued 4,I must be off in the -morniog, so farewell, Jack." After the beggar had departed his host picked ,np same scraps ol paper on the floor, pasted them together, discovered that they made a note iin cypher, of which after a long while he dis (covered the .tey, and published it as follows : "Dr. friend: I shall ever remember your kwdness. , The.J. D. government cannot aid me now, and if I fail to escape, God knows my ate, and your arm will be powerless. If you succeed in your part I shall return; otherwise, never, y es," I leave to-morrow. Yours, in life nd death. J. W. B. 'J'J.WP 1, 18C5." STATE NEWS. t Look out Distillers M. L Homes, Esq , U. S. Commissioner, opened a court here about a week ago, to investigate alleged violations of the Laws regulating the Distilling business. We learn that he has had much business before him already, with the prospect of a great deal more. Salisbury Banner 167 inst. Areested. A man by the name of William Steffey, was arrested early on morning, 14th inst., upon suspic stolen tbe borse whicn ne was nam a a 1 offered for sale. He was committed to Jail, evidence sufficient to his release not being brought before the Magistrate. The said Steffey reports to hail from Smyth county, Va. States ville American. Deputy Marshal. Mr M. A. Smith, of this city, has been appointed " deputy Marshal for this section, by Chief Marshal J. Ii. Goodloe, and is, therefore, authorized to execute all pro cesses placed in his hands. It is a good ap pointment. Salisbury Banner. Sent to Fort Macon. We understand that Capt. Tolar, and Powers and Watkins, whose trial before the Military Commission has just been concluded, were sent, on yesterday, to Fort Macon, under guard. This change will doubtless be for the better, so far as the personal comfort of the prisoners is concerned. Raleigh Sentinel. Army Worm. Some fears have been enter tained that much damage would result to the cotton crop in this vicinity, from depredations of the army worm. We were told that this enemy had appeared in large numbers in the fields of Mr Joseph Rheni and others near this city. We saw Mr It hem recently, and were gratified to learn that this was a mistake. Mr Iihein says the caterpiller in large numbers at tacked about fifteen acres of his cotton, doing but little damage, however; but that they have entirely disappeared, destroyed, he thinks, by myriads of rice birds. He estimates his loss at less than a bale of cotton. Aeicbern Journal Commerce. The Railroad Hotel. We learn, just as we go to press, that Mr Blair, of the Yarbo rough House, has been awarded the contract for keeping the Hotel at the joint Depot of the Italeigh & Gaston and North Carolina Railroads. He will open it, in a day or two, in Blair style. That is saying enough. Of course, this ar rangement will not interfere in any way with Mr Blair's post at the Yarborough. Raleigh Sentinel. A Curiosity. .We were shown, yesterday, ICth iust., by P. W. Fanning, Esq , a cluster of apples (four in number) grown in an orchard in Bfanswick county, and naturally so arranged as to be esteemed a decided curiosity. The main stem upon which this cluster grew shoots from the centre of a forked twig, and from this stem four smaller ones proceed, to each of which is attached an apple, the whole representing and indicating the four. different points of the com pass. These several apples forming this cluster grow at regular intervals, and arc so neatly ar ranged as to excite admiration at this peculiar freak of nature. On the whole, this cluster is a decided natural curiosity, and we doubt if a similar one was ever known or observed before. Wilmington Journal. JCST" The Post Commander at Fayetteville has issued the following circular to Registrars in his district, in regard to military officers and others: Headquarters, Post of Fayetteville, ) Fayetteville, Aug 28, 1867. The Board of Registrars having misconstrued the act of Congress relating to Registration, are hereby notified that Officers of Militia, of Corpor ate Towns, Notaries Public, and Inspectors of Flour, Turpentine and Tobacco, are entitled to register unless otherwise disqualified. By command of Post Colonel M Cosgwell. F. A. Whitney, 1st Lieut. 8th Infy U. S. A , Post Adj't. fi-The Hon. R. Y. McAden' recently ad dressed a large assembly of the citizens of Ala mance county, N C, on the condition of the country and the duties of citizens. He strong ly urged all qualified to register, and in the ap proaching election to vote for a Convention. During the delivery of his speseb, when he was urging the necessity and propriety of universal amnesty, he put the question to the colored men present some 200 whether or not they desired that all white men should be allowed to vote, and every colored man voted in the affirm ative by raising his hand. Tbe question was then put to the whites whether or not they were, willing to givo the colored man every right given him by the act of Congrosg, and every man voted in the affirmative. The scene will be long remembered The people are nearly all registered and the best of feeling prevails. Alamance will send good delegates to the Con vention. Raleigh Register. St. James' Church Yard. There is one venerable spot in this city with which is asso ciated, perhaps more than any other, some of the oldest recollections and most lingering affections of our people. In the old church yard, imme diately ia the rear of St. James' Churoh, lie many of those who were the founders of some of the oldest families. The last vestige of their remains has, perhaps, mouldered into their primal earth, but the tombstones recording the names and ages and virtues of the deceased yet defy the touch of decay. Much of the olden history of our city and section lies buried there, and many of those who bore active parts in the stirring drama of the Revolution, sleep thire the siunioer r into which they fell nearly o,c hundred go Some of the tombs even date ante- years a rior to the m period ot the H ar of Independence, ecollect aright, one of them bears as ana ii we re old a date as 1750; one- hundred years agone. and seventy Among those of celebrity or distinguished ability who found there a last resting place, Cornelius Harnett, one of the most illustrious spirits of the Cape Fear, and one of the master minds of the first great war in North Carolina, will probably stand as first and greatest lie died in 1781, and his tombstone still bears upon us lace uis name ana age, me date of his death ne aate ot his death, It is situttcd in the and a simple inscription r . - i ; 0u et purt.uu ui n.u ensure and near the wall. The tomb of Thomas Godfrey, son of the in ventor of the quadrant, of tbe stme name, can also be found within this graveyard. Youn" Godfrey was himself a man of no ordinary merft and ability, and was somewhat celebrated iu the world of letters. He is known as the author of Jhc fartuan, which was the first drama ever He died Quite written aod acted in America young, ana nas ever since rested within the shadow of St. James' Church Many other names, well known and whose descendants still live and occupy high positions in this community, may be found unon the Jtpjnbstones there. i Wilmington Post. WASHINGTON ITEMS. -Orders haviog been issued some days ago for the breaking up of the depot of the quarter master's department of Washington, the various officers in charge are busily engaged in closing up their business, and perfecting arrangements for turning over the stores in their charge to various bureaus in other places. An immense amount'of material will necessarily require re- teams will be soldat :er will throw several employment here, and necessitate their seeking work elsewhere. The reason assigned for this change is the freights for the transfer of stores from this tity to the various quartermaster's depots over the country. A more untruthful paragraph has never been sent from Washington than the one copied in gome of the New Y ork papers recently from a Boston journal, which represents the President as having decided to open the registration lists in the South, on the ground that the Amnesty Proclamation conveys the right of suffrage to all who have been pardoned by it. The World dispatches, as they were based on official infor mation, have been correct in this regard. The President, while maintaining with his Cabinet that the proclamation restores to the individual pardoned by it all of his civil and political rights, holds at the same time that it is not the pro vince of the Executive to secure the right of suffrage to such as are pardoned, in the face of the positive Congressional prohibition contained in section seven of the July Proclamation act. Their remedy is in the courts, when they are refused registration. This is the President's position, and it has been virtually anticipated in all of the leading Southern journals which have discussed the question, to say nothing of the Southern men here, who have looked into the matter. Washington Cor. If. Y. World. THE INDIAN WAR. Leavenworth, Sept. 11. The Indians have resumed hostilities on the Smoky Hill route, attacking several stage sta tions. They attacked a government train at Bunker Hill, killing two teamsters, wounding three, and capturing one woman and three chil dren, after which they stampeded with all the stock. The teamsters subsequently recaptured the woman and children. There were white men disguised as Indians among tho attacking party. Two Indians were killed. Junction City, Kansas, Sept. 16. The Indians have celebrated the advent of the commissioners aod the full moon by break ing out iu fiercer hostilities along the route. Five attacks were made upon stage stations be tween here and Fort Wallace on Friday. At Downer's station eighteen government mules and five horses were captured. A citizen stock holder was killed and his body filled with ar rows. Several men were wounded, and the sol diers were driven into their huts. No Indians injured. Gunnell Spring station and Castle Rock station were both attacked. A govern ment train at the latter lost stock. To-day forty wagons were attacked at Crow creek, between hereaud Ellsworth. Twenty-one government mules, some valuable horses aod 5,000 in green backs were captured, two drivers were killed and one wounded. The stage was also fired into this morning. The prairie has been fired for fifty miles by the Indians, and other atrocities too numerous for mention have occurred. The troops have been ordered to act only on the defensive, and the Indians are appearing in large bodies and threatening total destruction to stations and travel. Arizona There are about 3,000 United States troops in Aiizona, yet the people in that territory represent the depredations of Indians as more serious now than heretofore, and threaten to exterminate the red-skins. The Alta Califor nia n says : From time to time the most discouraging ac counts reach us from the Territory, murder, ra pine and pillnge being the continual occupation of the savages while retaliation and extermina tion very naturally follow in the hands of the whites "The settlement of the country is retar ded, life and property are unsafe, and honest in dustry is defeated and cut down by the raids of the Indians, who are yet unconquered and un conquerable, years have rolled by and millions of dollars have been spent in the prosecution, a war against Apaches, which appears to be as yet fruitless. Accounts which reach U3 from Arizona represent the people as being discouraged and desperate with the prospect before them, and re solved to take into their own hands the drastic remedy which they conceive to be the only al ternative left them to wage a war of bitter ex termination against ewry. copporskinned human being inside the territorial lines wherever found. The Apaches are as fierce and wild as beasts; they roam from point to point, likehe Bedouins of the desert, fleet of foot and unincumbered in their movements, stealthy, wily and treacherous as death. From their mountain fastnesses, dif ficult of access, they look down upon the treeless plains and valleys beneath as one might gaze into the pit of a theatre, and they see the move ments of any parties below who might be in pur suit of them, and it is a matter of irnposihility for the ordinary tactics of warfare, or even ordinary Indian warfare, to prevail against them. Consumption. At a medical Congress in Paris, very recently, there was a most interesting discussion on the subject of consumption. We find the following paragraph with regard to it in the Paris letter of tho New York limes : 'The first question in the Medical Congress was a OUPstNin vli51 raaMiic in,! intomc directly perhaps, than any other, every family, n was the question of tubercle, its contaiimni anJ prophylactic The discission turned mainly on il.Pse two non.ts- 1 ,.,!..,.,.,. :.

The discussions of the Congress established no new doctrine in a positive way, hut brought out many valuable facts which will put the profession a step in ad vance in the right direction. Gen. McClellan. The personal friends of Gen. McClellan in Washington assert that al though he may have been requested by telegraph to return he has no idea of doing so. That on the contrary, he has just determined to remain abroad another year, and has taken a house and made arrangements for the tuition of his children accordingly. From tbe Raleigh Sentinel. A WOBD TO WORTH CAROLINA . FARMERS. No class of the community occupies : our thoughts more than our farmers and planters. Their condition and success determine the pros pects and successes of all other vocations. The farming interest is the great interest of the State. If our people ever pay their debts, recover their heavy losses and become rich, it must be dug out of the soil. Our gold, iron, copper and coal mines, our turpentine resources and our manufacturing enterprises, can do something towards it, but they must ever be secondary and subsidiary to the great farming interest. Two years experience .will or ought to satis fy our farmers, that the employment of large numbers of hired laboring men, whose wives and children are to do nothing, and yet are to be fed and clothed out of the labors of the men, on large farms, is Dot the way to ay debts or make money. The size of the farms renders it almost impossible for them to be well kept up; the fences, ditches and necessary provision for cattle, sheep and hogs, will not be well attended to wholly by hired laborers, who are only inte rested in the crop or the monthly wages. Pro: per cultivation and regular manuring arrange ments cannot or will not be carried on. Besides, under the controlling impulse to make money for our present necessities, resort must be had to stimulating fertilizers to pro duce crops that will pay hired laborers and families and afford the owner proper remunera tion, thus our lands must be seriously in danger of ultimate sterility and consequent decline in value. We can see no remedy, no real protection to the present owners of the land, but a speedy change in the system of employing many hands on one large plantation. We believe it is far better to divide up the lands and place them in the hands of other operators, even if one is not disposed to sell. It must be apparent to every land owner, who is in debt, that it will never do to expose large tracts of land to sale or allow them to go under the Sheriff's or Marshal's hammer. The scar city of money will make all such sales ruinous. Besides, it will introduce among us rapacious land speculators, whose greed will not be satis fied at any small sacrifice of the land owner. Small farms, well cultivated and cared for, must become the order of the day. Large plan tations must be divided and sold, or leased out to practical honest men, wlro will do right, and whose industry and skill will cither enable them to pay for the lands, or return them to the owner improved by their management. Faith ful men, who have been former slaves of 'and owners, may be found iu some instances, who would do well in such cases, and who ought to be encouraged in their industry and honesty. We beg that some of our intelligent planters will give us their views on this subject. We should like to know the opinion of our planters, as to the probable results of the next five years, on tbe present plan of large farms. Senator Fessenden for Impeachment. It is announced on the authority of a private letter from Maine, that Senator Fessenden now avows himself in favor of impeachment. He states that he favors it in the belief of its abso lute necessity for the preservation of the public interest, and in obedience to the well-nigh unanimous sentiment of his constituents. As Mr Fessenden has heretofore been the most prominent of the opponents of the measure, his change of position greatly increases the prospect of its being carried out. iflcckleEibua'r Fcsnnle College, CHARLOTTE, N.

She writes not the history of empires or of nations on paper, bat she writes ber own history on the imperish able rniod of her child. That tablet aod that history .will remain indelible when time shall be no more. That history each mother shall meei again, and read with eternal joy or unutterable grief io the coming ages of eternity.. The thought should weigh on the mind of every mother, and render her deeply circumspect and prayerful and faithful in her solemn" work of training up her children for heaven and im mortality. The minds of children are very susceptible and easily impressed. A word, a look, a frown may engage an impression on the mind of a child which no lapse of time can efface or wash out. You walk along the seashore when the tide is out, and you form characters, or write words or names in the smooth white sand which is spread out so clear and beautiful at your feet, according as jour fancy may dictate; but the returning tide in a few hours washes out and effaces all that you have written. Not so the lines and characters of truth or error which your conduct imprints on the mind of your child . There you write impressions for tbe'everlasting good or ill of your child, which neither the floods nor the storms of earth can wash out, nor Death's cold fingers erase, nor tbe slow-moving ages of eternity obliterate. Ilow careful, then, should each mother be in her treatment of her child! How prayerful, and how serious, and how earnest to write the eter nal truths of God on his mind those truths which shall be his guide and teacher when her voice 6hall be silent in death, and her lips no longer move in prayer in his behalf, in com mending her dear child to her covenant God. Phrenological Journal. A Noble Deed The following is from the August number of the Land we Love, and was brought to memory, says the editor, by the name of one of Mr Davis bondmen : "A Northern man married in our native Vil lage a Southern lady, and died soon after the marriiige. Tbe widow discovered, in lookiug over ler husband's papers, that he was indebted to an abolitionist at the North, in the sum of $1, 000. She told her administrator that there must not be a stain upon the memory of her husband and proposed selling ber bouse and lot to pay the debt. He wrote to the creditor stating the destitute condition of the widow, and her honor able intention. For an answer he received a let ter enclosing the note of the deceased husband as a present to the widow. The name of this generous creditor was Gerritt Smith, ofNew York. In a private letter to ourselves, he says : It is time for men to quit hating and learn to love one another." FAMILY FLOUR.

This is to certify that I applied the Bone Flour and Pacific Guano purchased of Hutchison, Bur roughs & Co. one hundred pounds of the former and one hundred and twenty. five pounds of the latter to three-quarters of an acre of land. The land would have produced, without manure, seven bushels of Wheat. About one-fifth of the Wheat was lost by lodging. The yield was sixteen bushels of Wheat. If the Wheat had all been saved the yield would have been probably twenty-five bushels per acre. I expect to apply it this season. Signed Dr. J. M. STRONG. Sept. 9, 1807.
