A Propaet .iiath Honor save In his own Qonntry. The following remarks of the Baleigh Biblical Becorder will apply toother denominations as well a tbo Baptist, and also to other pro fessions t "More than forty years ago North Carolina was a good State for Baptist preachers to more from. Old Father Kerr, perhaps the most elo - fluent man of his day, spent the major part of his life in Vs., and returned in his old age to die in his native State. ,The Senior Drs. Brantly and Manly, horn within five miles of each other jn Chatham county, went to South Carolina, to 'Become farmers. Br Howell of Wayne, and Br Poindexter of Bertie, wandered off, the one to Tennessee, the other to Virginia, to achieve a national reputation. In later years, Prof. Mims, one of the ablest theologians, and one of the best men North Carolina ever produced, left Fayette ville, and for many years taught Theology in South Carolina. Iverson L. Brooks of Caswell, went to South CaTolkia, Graves of the same county to Texas, Taliaferro of Stokes, to Ala bama, and John L. Pritchard of Camden, to Vir ginia, where they became eminent and useful minister) of the Gospel. Sad to say, the Exodus has not stopped in our day, but seems rather to increase." Proclamation by the Governor of N. Carolina. Whereas, By Act of Assembly, "the Governor is directed to set apart a day in every year, and by Proclamation give notice thereof, as a day of solemn and public thanksgiving to Almighty God, for past blessings, and of supplication for his continued kindness over us as a State and as a Nation," Now, therefore, I, Jonathan Worth, Governor as aforesaid, do issue this, my Proclamation, ap pointing and setting apart Thursday, the 28th day of November, instant, as such day, and do most earnestly recommend that it be observed accordingly by all the good people of the State. In testimony whereof, His Excellency, Jona than Worth, our Captain General and Commander-in-Chief, has hereto set his hand, and caused the Great Seal of the State to be affixed. Done at the City of Kaleigh, this the 4th day of No vember, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, and in the ninety second year of American Independence. JONATHAN WOIiTIL By the Governor: Wm. II. Bagley, Private Secretary. ' Encourage Immigration. That it would be to the interest of the State and her people to fill up tlie want of labor by white immigration, there can be no manner of doubt; and as large plantations can ao longer be kept up, owing to the unreliable character of the negro laborers, who alone are attainable among us at present, we are not surprised to see in every paper we open, large tracts of land offered for sale. i?Ht we do not see, what we would like to see generally in the advertisements, that persons who arc only able to buy twenty, forty or eighty acres, can be accommodated with the precise quantity they wish. Doubtless one of our neighbors. wanting a email tract, by inquiring and hunting around, might find some one willing to sell him the quantity he desired. But when an appeal is made to foreign emigrants arriving in this coun try, and to residents of other States, to come and settle among us, it ought to be widely known and extensively published that just such quality and quantity of land as they may be able to purchase, is offered for lease or sale. This brings us to observe that it might be con venient and profitable, to those who do not desire to sell whole tracts of land, to lay them off into small farms and lease them for a term of years to industrious men, who do not own any land, either at a fixed yearly rent, or for an adequate share of the crop. We have no doubt that measures of this sort, properly understood and extensively advertised among the crowded States of the North, would bring immigrants to this State. Our lands, as we have intimated above, will be valueless unless we can settle them in some way, with intelligent and skillful laborers. We want intelligent white labor, as soon as it can be ob tained. Without further elaboration of our points, at present, we hope some who have large tracts to dispose of will consider the expediency of divid ing them up in the manner proposed, and then isvite attention in other States to the terms up on which small farms may be obtained; for we do believe that if one-half the lands in every county In the State were thus disposed of and brought jundex cultivation, the other half would be fully as valuable as the whole is now; and all being settled and cultivated by white men, our prosperity would be at once assured and raised to its highest attainable point. To all who own more land than they can pro fitably use, the advice is given by the press, in many sections, that if the price asked cannot be obtained, less should be accepted, or a part had better be given away rather than all should be lost by delay, taxation and worthless labor, so that the country may be filled up with industrious white men. Wheat against Cotton. The Arkansas Garette of the 19th ultimo says : "This year's experience will be sufficient to convince the firm est friends of cotton culture that it must be Abandoned at once, or our planting community will bo bankrupted. We understand that plant ers in this "vicinity are now paying one dollar per hundred for pickingcotton. This is equivalent to three and a half cents a pound for lint cotton, ad to this add the tax, and one half the value f pound of cotton in this market is consumed. Now is the time for sowing wheat, and we trust a large crop will be put in this year. Wheat is worth $2.60 per bushel in the Western markets. At this price its production would be profitable on any soil in the State." Internal Revenue Decisions. The Com missioner of internal revenue has decided that the use of a Still by Chemists to produce alco holic spirits, makes them liable as distillers. A negotiable promissory note, made, signed and is Bued abroad, And payable abroad, may be nego tiated by endorsement here, without stamps. A guarantee, endorsed upon an instrument, whether at the time of making, or subsequently, should be stamped as an agreement. An unsigned memorandum on instruments of partial payments, endorsed as is customary, requires no stamp. Charleston, Nov. 3.

In the fight nearTrivoli 3.000 insurgents were either killed, wounded or made prisoners. Garibaldi and his son, Menotti, were captured at Tarni and sent to Florence as prisoners of war. Four thousand Garibaldians, while on the march to reinforce the Insurgents, stopped, disarmed and turned back. The great est agitation prevails in Italy. Garibaldi has arrived at Spezza a prisoner in the hands of the Italians. London, Nov. 6. Garibaldi concentrated around Monte llotondo. He was urged to with draw, but he replied that he did not value his life, and a soldier should not count his enemies. Subsequently he withdrew one thousand men and two guns and moved towards Trivoli, which the Papal troops had stormed. Unconscious of the disaster at Trivoli, the Garibaldians, while marching to patriotic songs, were surprised at Montona by seven Papal battallions with seven guns, who attacked them on both sides and both flanks. The fighting was fierce. Garibaldi was dragged away. The retreating Garibaldians made a two hours fight at Monte Botondo, and fled after having nine hundred killed and one thousand captured. Monotti Garibaldi was hurt iu the leg. At the frontier the Garibaldi ans gave up everything but private property. The insurrection is at an end. The French troops took no part, except a few volunteers. It is rumored that Garibaldi is insane. London, Nov. 5.

The Louisiana Baptist, published at Mount Lebanon, has the following in its issue of the 17th ultimo : "A gentleman just from Texas, we understand, relates the following shocking circumstances, as having occurred on Black Bayou, near Jefferson. We learn that he was near the farm, where the facts took place, a few days after the occurrence. A farmer had a number of hands employed un der written contract, for one-third of the crop. He was from home when they commenced gath ering, and on returning found they were taking half instead of a third of the crop. He remon strated and told them of the contract, but they became enraged, and finally made an attack upon him, and he, in defending, shot down four of them with a revolver. Going to town he repor ted the facts to a Federal officer, who sent an armed force to investigate and set things right. The negroes defied and Ifinally attacked this force, when six more of the crowd were shot down. Novel Suicide. Near Fair Grove, Mo., a man left bis house, went into an adjoining field, and destroyed bis own hfe in the most novel manner, by using ao axe-handle as a lever and raising a rail fence from the fourth nil and placing himself upon the third rail, pulling the axe-haodle out aod letting tho fence fall upon his neck, breaking it instantly by its weight.

Governor Worth issued on yes terday a warrant of pardon for Emma Johnston, late a slave of Jas. C Johnston, dee'd, convicted of the , crime of murder, and sentenced, to, be hanged at Halifax, the 29th inst. The exten uating circumstances of this case, the extreme ignoranee of the person and the doubt upon the mind of the Judge and Solicitor, impelled them to urge upon Gov. Worth executive clemency, and he yields to their convictions and grants a pardon. Raleigh Sentinel. 'Escaped Jail.

Freedman's Bureau Report General Howard, commissioner of the Freed men's Bure.au, has completed his annual report and laid it before the Secretary of War. The most important recommendation is that the bureau be discontinued as a separate institution in July next, when the law expires. Respecting the unsettled claims for back pay and bounty, the commissioner recommends, however, a con tinuance of the division in connection with the war department as long as it shall be deemed necessary for the completion of the work com mitted to its charge. In this connection, Gen eral Howard remaks that it may seem hazardous to withdraw this bureau agency so soon, though he baset the recommendation on the belief that each of the several States where the Bureau ex ists or have existed will be completely recon structed by next July, and the freednien, having all the rights of citizenship, can protect them selves with such aid as the United States military forces may be able to render." The commissioner says that twenty-eight civil agents have been discharged and forty-eight vol unteer officers mustered out. The amount of abandoned lands in posession of the bureau is Jlo,0J4 acres, and the number of pieces of town property is 950. A large part of the abandoned land is of a swampy character, and scarcely anv of it yields revenue. The greater proportion of it is merely m the nominal pcsession of the bu reau, aud would ere this have been turned over to former owners under the law had they made application tnerefor. Mob Law in Indiana. On Thursday night last two men were taken from the jail by a mob at franklin, Indiana, and hung. If this had occurred in a Southern State we should have been treated to many columns of iunous invectives against Southern barbarism; but it happened in Indiana, and we accordingly find that it makes no stir at aU. The Civil Rights Bill in Delaware. In the Superior Court at Dover, in a case of as sault and battery upon a negro by a white man in which negro evidence was attempted to bo in troduced, it was ruled that the ''statute of the State remained unaffected by the Civil Rights Bill" in other words that it is null and void so far as regards interfering with the judicial sys tems oi tne state. Mutilated National Bank Notes. All the mutilated national bank notes sent to the office of the Comptroller of the Currency for de struction and exchange for new notes, should be in packages of five hundred dollars, and should in all cases be cancelled before sending by cutting out the signatures of the officers, otherwise the notes will be returned at the expense of the bank for cancellation.

Extraordinary Criminal Cases i Two'of the most extraordinary criminal cases ever known in South Carolina" were tried in-the recent court of common pleas and - general ses sions for i Pickens district, before i his Honor! Judge 'Dawkin&i;..: : Ne!f:--' me colored persons7 and a white man named Alexander Bryce, all members of a Union League, at Walhalla, were indicted for the mur der of Miles Mr N. Hunnicut, a white youth, fourteen years of age, on the evening of the 12th ultimo", while the latter was present at a deba ting society, near Hunnicutt's Crossing, in Pick ens districtr"-""'" Hon. J. P. Beid thus detailed the circum stances of the murder. V The case is peculiar in its- origin. I expect to show to you that the young men in the vicinity of Oak Grove academy, in this district, had been in the habit of meeting, on Saturday evening, in debating society, for the purpose of discussing questions calculated to improve themselves and interest the surrounding community;" that on the evening of the 12th of October, these youths, their parents and friends, had thus assembled, and that while engaged in their usual exercises, without a suspicion of trouble or difficulty, they were rudely disturbed by curses and denuncia tions, which brought every inmate of the house to his feet in amazement and alarm. That on rushing to the door, they discovered a party of negroes, eight or ten in number, apparently great ly infuriated, who were the advance guard of a hundred, or perhaps two hundred more, who were that evening holding a meeting about two hundred yards from the Oak Grove academy, for the purpose of organizing what is called a Union League. I am not aware that it was known to any mem ber of the debating society that these two meet ings were taking place at the same time. That as soon as these young men made their appear ance at the door, two or three were seized by the negroes, who were uttering wild exclamations of rage, and thereupon a struggle commenced on the one hand to arrest the white men, and on the other to defend themselves from the unprovoked aud unanticipated attack. That while this brief contest was in progress, a pistol shot was dischar ged by some of these negroes, which took fatal effect upon the person of Miles M. N. Hunnicutt, a boy of fourteen years of age, who had been engaged, perhaps in the discussions of the even ing. He fell; the boy was surrounded and al most trampled upon; swords were drawn, weapons displayed and threats made by enraged negroes, who declared they knew no law, but their own might, and that war had begun. That amid this confusion, a negnr guard, consisting of ten or twelve persons, was formed, with a sergeant in command, and dispatched in search of a per son whom they called Bob. Smith, their allega tion being that this individual had fired a pistol near their place of meeting, and was, according to the orders given, to be ''arrested, dead or alive." That the white persons who remained (except the little boys, who had made their es cape,) were arrested, imprisoned in the academy and their names taken down, but that after being locked up for some time, the brother in law of the wounded boy was permitted to go out and remove the body to the house, which was done although the life of the poor young Hunnicutt departed m a few minutes thereafter. Meanwhile the negroes were ordered by their officers not to leave, and the next morning at day light went to the residence of 3Irs Smith, searched her premises, insulted and assaulted her person j ciDcl f'terwards passed from house to house, committing enormous depredations. auch are the circumstances of the case. The prisoners were ably defended by Gen. McGowan, of Abbeville, General Easley, of GreenviLb, and Messrs. Norton and Adams, of Pickens. Ihe jury consisted' of white men, three of whom are said to : be members of the Union League, and were selected by the pris oners, with the consent of the Solicitor, before the trial began. Several United States soldiers were present, as a guard. - It is a significant and noteworthy fact, that many of the former owners of the negroes ar raigned in the two cases were also present, to offer bail, if such should be demanded, and to participate in the defence of the deluded freed men. We are informed that quite a number con tributed to tiie employment of counsel. The jury retired, and, after an absence of half an hour, returned the following verdict : "Guil ty, with reference to December Gadsden; Nat: Frazier, John Keith, Jack Walker, Green Cleve land, Jr., and Jackson Henderson. Not guilty, with reference to Alexander Bryce, Capt Deane, JJob Ureckinridge and Isaac Adams. The prisoners were sentenced to be hanged on the Cth of December next. Negro Voting The incidents of the late election farce in this city will afford for a long time to come subjects of conversation and discussion. They are at once amusing, ludicrous and alarming. One ne gro in the crowd around the court house held up an independent ticket (printed on blue paper) ana cried cut m a loud voice : "No land ! no mules ! no votes ! slavery iff .l,GLJ LX Then holding up a red ticket, he shouted out: "Forty acres of land! a mule! freedom! votes! the equal of the white man I" And apparently satisfied, he put the red ticket in the ballot box. Is umbers of negroes brought halters with them for the mules they confidently expected to get. A crowd of negroes from the southern part of the county were met at the river by an agent of the radicals here, who put in their hands the red tickets, and told them they must: not let any body take them away from them, as each ticket was good for a piece of land. 1 he poor devils concluded if that was the fact, they had better hold on to their tickets, and speedily returned home to learn where their lots were located and enter upon possession. One fellow, when his ticket was given him, asked what he was to do with it. He was told to put it in the box. Is dat all V he queried. "Yes. "Xuthin' more, master ?" "No." "Is dat votin." "Yes." "I thought votin' was git tin' sumthiuV And, disgusted, threw the pa per on the ground, trampled it under foot, and went home at least a wiser man. Stlma (Ala.) Sentinel." . Flexible Stojce. We were shown yesterday a piece of flexible stone, said to be found in the Sauratown Mountains, in Stokes county, N. C.

As the stage drove up to the station, three rob bers, completely masked, stepped out of the building, and covered the driver and passengers with' double-barreled shot-guns and ordered them to get down. There were eight passengers, who, with the driver, obeyed the robbers' mandate. Having alighted, they were placed in a row, facing the building, and told that, if they looked they would be shot. Theif hands were then tied behind their backs by one of the robbers, while the other two held their shot-guns pointed at them, and each passenger was searched for wea pons, but nothing more effective than a pockct knifi was found. They then proceeded to the more interesting search for money, of which they obtained, all told, about S600.- Nearly all the passengers had watches, several of which were very valuable; but the robbers did not take any of them, remarking that they did not want such tell-tale trinkets. They did not destroy or take any of the papers of the passengers, or exhibit unnecessary ruffianism, but acted like reasonable knights of the road. Passengers and driver were then ordered to the rear of the stable and placed under guard of one of the robbers, while the other two went to the stage for the treasure box, which they were seen to break open and search. Having finished this, they unhitched the horses from the stage, and unharnessed them and drove them into the corral. One of them asked the driver if his "out" team had been fed, and, learn ing that it had not, the hostler was untied and ordered to feed the animals. The robbers had prepared and ate their dinner at the station, and they told the passengers there was "some left," and if they were hungry they would untie them and let them eat. They frequently asked the passengers if they were dry, and offered to fetch them water. They were communicative, too; they expressed their disgust at the extreme pov erty of the passengers, and said "it wouldn't pay them to run around the country to pick up such poor crowds," that if they had made a good haul they would leave the country, but, as they had not, they would be obliged to try it again. At half-past five o'clock the driver was released, and told to untie the passengers who got into the coach, and the order was given to drive off. - Southern News. Georgia Election.

Montgomery, Nov. 3. Leading delegates differ widely re specting the management of the Convention. One party favors simply striking out the word "white" from the present Constitution, but the majority urge extreme measures. The new Con stitution is all "cut and dried." It incorporates the disfranchisement clause of the Howard amendment, provides an extensive system of State a"id to private enterprises, and virtually throws all the taxes on the whites.
