The Western Democrat W. J. YATES, Epitob AND PROPRIETOR. CHARLOTTE, N. C. September 29, 1868. The Talk about . War. The opponents of Seymour and Blair in this State teem to rely solely on frightening the people with a cry about war to secure a majority for Gen. Grant. Judge Pearson has been led into a serious error, which caused him to degrade the high office he holds! by the unjustifiable accusation ogainet the Demo cratic party that they intend to bring on another war. If we thought the election of Seymour would cause another war, we do not hesitate to say that we would not support him ; but we know that all the people, North and South, are tired of war and will not en gage in another one bet ween themselves. A few im prudent men of both parties may engage in collisions, mc ib nuionvus iat more than nine-tenths of our whole population want peace and good feel to prevail, and will exert themselves to promote that oujeci. Cut what docs Mr Seymour himself say ! Is it not right to judge a man by his own declarations, and not by the sayings of stump orators or letter-writers? Of course every fair-minded man will acknowledge that a candidate must be judged by his own words, and not by the words of others. Here is an extract from Mr Seymour's letter of acceptance : -The election of a Democratic Executive and a ma jority of Democratic members to the House of Repre-Ft-nta lives, would not give to that party vrganization the power to make sudden or violent changes; but it would serve to check those extreme measures which Lave hecu deplored by the best men of both political organizations. The result would most certainly lead to that peaceful restoration of the Union and re-establishment of fraternal relationship which the country desires." GW. Seymour's Letter of Accep tance. Docs lie not expressly Pay that his election would nt give to his parly Ihe power to make sudden or violent changes, but would only serve to check extreme matures and lead to a peaceful restoration of the Union aud re-establishment of fraternal relationship? It there any sign or prospect of war in the course Mr .Seymour marks out 7 None at all. The fact is, if he were elected President he would not attempt to interfere with the present State Governments. He would have no authority to do so, and be will never get a decisiou from the Supreme Court (unless the present Judges die) that would justify his interfer ence with force. The only way the people of North Carolina can reasonably hope to change their Con stitution and rulers is to get a majority of voters to order the change. We know that a few men differ with us in this position, but time will show that we are right, aud that no other method will he attempted than the peaceful ballot It is well to understand the matter now, so that there may be no disappoint ment hereafter. It is certain, then, that Mr Seymour will not at tempt to enforce 'sudden" or '-violent" changes, and it i well knqwn that he is one of the most prudent, wise and cautious statesmen in America, and is the very man for Chief Magistrate in- these exciting times. but our opponents will say that if Seymour is for peace, lilair is not, and that he will involve us in war. Well, what dues Gen. Blair say in Am letter of acceptance? He says:" "The appeal to the peaceful hallo t to attain this end a change uf State Governments forced on us by mil itary power is not war, is not revolution." And in a letter to a gentleman at Atlanta, Ga., dated Aug. iNth, Hen. Blair says: 1 am for that policy which alone can give peace to the country. " Kven if Gen. Blair was disposed to favor anything like war, he would have no power as Vice-President to do anything injurious to the peace of the country, lie would only preside in the Senate and give the casting vote in matters where a tie occurred. The Senate will remain Radical for some years to come, and if the next House of -Representatives has a demo cratic majority, no changes cau be effected in the Reconstruction measures until the people of each tate, hy a majority of votes, endorse a change. So, view the matter in any light you please, it will be seen that there is no danger of war, no matter nho is elected. Paper Making. V'e presume it is not generally known that a large amount of the Rook Paper used at the North is made Hour Linetdnton, N C. Two Paper Mills, in the vicinity of Lincohiton, have been in operation for ceveral years past, and turn out as good paper as ouy Mill in the United States. One of these Mills have heretofore been run by Viswnll & Tiddy, the other by Grady, Bannister & ( o. Wux Tiddy &. Sons have recently bought the in terest of Mr Wiswall in one Mill, aud also, the whole fmbiishmcnt of Grady, Bannister & Co., and they will now work both Mills. The Tiddys, father and P''n., are working men, intelligent, educated mechan ic, and we hope-they will meet with that success which industry, integrity and energy deserves. Railroad Matters. The President of the N. C. Railroad has issued orders to the Agent at this place o charge the same rate for freight to Salisbury, as he does to Raleigh. That is, a barrel of sugar is to ry the same freight from here to Salisbury as from here to Raleigh. ; We presume that plan has been resorted to to keep freight from coming by Charles ton and over the S. C. Roads for Salisbnry and West ern merchants. fisf-J.ide Osborne, Democratic State Elector returned home la week from a short campaign in he West. It will be seen by announcement, that he js to speak at Dallas on Thursday next, Oct 1st. Wherever the Judge has spoken we hear favorable news for the cause of Seymour. The Judge views matters in their true light, is modsrate in language hud argumentative without abuse. tea?- We learn that Gen. Rufus Barringer has de cline 1 the office of Colonel of Militia for this county, tendered him by Gov. Uolden. We regret that Gen. barringer declined, for if we are to have an armed Militia in the county (for which there is not the 'lightest necessity) to be commanded by a member f the Republican party , we know of no man in the s,ate who Mould more faithfully and conscientiously "'-"charge hjg duty than Rufus Barringer.

It will be remembered that Dr. W. A. Pressly's dweUing house, in Steel Creek, was burnt down a few weeks ago on Sunday while all the white iaujiiy were ai cnurch. We are. m-at fioJ ff rum that the incendiaries were arrested W week n,i committed 1 .7il 5n !.;, nu . ... ,ua jijr. iutir uuuit-s are Anson Davis and Georare Bariinfrnr. Y.rih r,lrol iue eviaence is very strong against them. One of them had in his possession some of the property stolen from the house before it was fired. Anson Davis, the main incendiary, was in the em ploy of Dr. Pressly for two years, and the Doctor thought a great deal of him and trusted him to a considerable extent. The other man. Geo. BnrHn- er, had been in the Doctor's employ until a month before the burning, when he was discharged f(,r had conduct. - JESS" We tender thanks to Mr J. L. Brown (who has just,returned from the North) for New York and Richmond papers in advance of the mails. JEsSf We presume that there are but few intelli gent persons in the United States, who know any thing about the circumstances, but who will now say that Mrs. Surratt was murdered by being hung as an accomplice in the assassination of President Lincoln. Her son, John Surratt, was arrested on the same charge, and there was much more evidence to convict him than there was to convict hb; mother, yet the indictment has recently been quashed by the Government because it was found that a civil court, could not conviut him with the tetimonv. He li;is j been discharged from custody. The subject calls to 'mind a statement made by the lion. Mr Bingham in the late canvass in Maine He says that President Johnson refused to pardon Mis. Surratt, after a petition had been sent him signed by every member but one of the court who tried her, and drawn up iu the handwriting of Mr Bingham himself, who was the Government counsel in the trial. And rew Johnson is as much to blame for the crimes committed by military commissions as any one else, for he had Ihe power (but not the moral courage) to dissolve them, and to pardon after illegal conviction. He has been a very poor friend to the oppressed Southern white man. Agricultural Implements. We are pleased to announce that two gentlemen (practical mechanics) from Richmond, Va., have taken up their abode in this city for the purpose of manufacturing agricultural tools of all sorts. They will make and sell their work at factory prices and guarantee satisfaction. We hope our farming friends will call at their establishment at the old Navy Yard and see the new styles of implements. Such enter prises deserve encouragement. Seed Wheat. Mr Pegram, the Agent at the C. & S. C. Railroad Depot, has received a large lot of tine seed Wheat for sale, from the Valley of Virginia. It was carefully selected, and it may bo that our farmers would double the yield of their ground by trying the Virginia Seed. Ci te Thick. Two negroes robbed Mr Heckscher's store, one night last week, of several pairs shoes. While both were looking at the shoes under the pre tense of desiring to purchase one seized the shoes and run off, while the other remained in vthe Store. The clerk could not follow the "rogue, for ho was aft-aid to leave his accomplice in the store alone. The plan was arranged between, the two rascals be fore they entered the store. We have reason to believe that the shrill whistles heard occasionally on our streets at night are signals between rogues and persons with evil intentions. Let the Police watch the persons making such signals. 5"- The Republican Convention in the 3d District (including, New Hanover, Cumberland, &c.,) nomi nated Hon. O. II. Dockery for Congress, end A.

D A Covington, S H Walkup, C M T McCauley, C Austin, S S S McCauley, F L Wiatt, Committee. No More War. If Seymour is elected he is the last man to endeaver to plunge his country again into war, and as for Grant, his maxim is said to be ' Let us have peace." If tteu neither Seymour nor Grant will tolerate the idea of war how is it to be brought about, unless by the fanatics of the Radical party? A Disgraceful Assault on Females. A great deal of excitement and indignation has beea caused in Raleigh and throughout the State, by an article which appeared in the Raleigh Standard of the 19th inst., in' which Southern females were gross'y villified and slandered. We thought, when we firt saw the article, that it was too .shameful to reproduce, but having had several inquiries about it, we give an extract. After urging its friends to work for the success of the Republican party, the Stan dard say 8 : "But wherever else you work don't forget to work among the women. The Confederacy wouldn't have lasted a year if it hadn't been for them. One good rebel woman is worth a dozen rebel men. Go after the women then. They will make their husbands and their lovers shout for Grant and Colfax until they are hoarse, if you will manage to replace some of the diamond rings and laees frank Blair ttole from them when he was here. And don't hesitate to throw your arms around their necks now and then, when their husbands are not around, and give them a good . They all like it, and the Yankeer you are the better it takes. Our experience with female rebs is, that with all their sins they have a vast amount of human nature, and only want to have it appreciated to be the most loving creatures imagin able. Scalaivags and carpet-baggers! don't tail, therefore, as you canvass the State, to look after the women, iou are all good looking and they know it. but with native modesty, like sweet New EEJand girls, they like to be approached first. - Don't be afraid of their eyes they glare like young leopards oy day light, hut under the moon no blue death stricken fawn 13 half so tender or half so deep.

Is there a decent man in the Republican party, South or North, who will justify such language to wards Southern females? We hope not in fact we have heard several Republicans denounce it in pri vate conversation ; but they ought to take public action and repudiate the author as well as the article. We shall apply no epithets to the author for of course it would do no good ; but public opinion and public indignation should teach him that he cannot escape the scorn and contempt of a virtuous people. A meeting of citizens at Lexington, N. C, irre spective of party, was held on the 23d inst., and reso lutions passed condemning the Standard's article. When Sevmour was nominated, the little or phan children ofUtica, (Mr Seymour's home) to whom this good man has ever been one of the kindest benefactors, turned out in procession in gratitude for the honor that had been bestowed upon him who had ever shown himself so true a friend to the frieudless. Cotton. The depression in the cotton market appears to be the result of two leading causes the in creased estimates of yield at the South, and the depression at Liverpool, arising out of liberal Supplies of the East India staples. The fact that our crop is much earlier than usual, and the prompt manner iu which it is coming upon the market too, has allayed all apprehensions of a dearth of supply, and thus contributed to the depression. Smith, Edwards & Co., of Liver pool, iu their monthly report dated 1st instant, remark upon the outlook as follows: "Although there is not a Sufficient supply of cotton to pro vide a very full consumption till the end of the year, there is enough to allow au outgoing of sixty-six thousand bales weekly, and leave a stock of five hundred thousand bales in Great JJritain at Christmas; the outgoings at the same time last year were seventy-three thousand bales, but the average price was 2d. less than our present currency, and trade was good both here and on the Continent. There arc now one hundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand bales of East India cotton due, or just arrived, and we shall likely have an import within the next mouth of a quarter of a million bales from India; much of this cotton will arrive to a heavy loss, though the recent advance will greativ assist weak buyers and moderate the pressure.' It is not probable that our maximum stock will this year exeeed, though it may reach, six hundred thousand balea. These considerations would in dicate that prices are as present circumstances justify, but that no material decline is probable." Arte York Shipping List, lGth itist. . - m Washington Items. A nolle prosequi has been entered on the murder indictment of Surratt. His - counsel make special plea that the second indictment is barred by the amnesty proclamation, subsequent ly to which it was found. The Judge sustained the potency of the President's amnesty - procla mation, but rejected, the special plea, saying that it docs not appear, from the record, that the prisoner adhered to the enemy, or that he com mitted treason, and, therefore, he does not come within the proclamation. The offense is a mis demeanor, and is not covered by the terms of the proclamation. lie, for these reasons, sustained the demurrer. The defence asked leave to amend their plea, and the Court adjourned. When the Court re-assembled, Surratt plead the statute of limitation of ' 171)9, and was discharged. So ended a great farce which has cost the Govern ment thousands of dollars. The President, having had no notification of Monday's session of Congress, will not recognize it. Consequently, appointments made during the recess still hold good. ' Lincoln's son Robert was married to Senator Harlan's daughter ou the 21st. , Geu.

General Grant in his report to the President, December IS, 1865, said: "I am satisfied that the mass of thinking men of the South accept the present situation of affairs in good faith. The questions which have heretofore divided the sentiments of the people of the two sections slavery and State rights or the right of a State to secede from the Union they regard as having been settled forever by the highest tribunal that men can resort to."

Suicide. Wo learn that Mr L. Klander, well known as the ginger pop and soda manufac turer, drowned himself last night in the river near Cassidey's ship yard under the following circumstances. It seems that Mr K. has for a week cr mere past been suffering under a tem porary fit of insanity, and has had persons sitting up with him the whole time. He was recover ing from the attack, but last night made an at tempt to kill one of his watchers with an axe. and shortly after broke away and ran into the river before he could be stopped.

Brownlow's revolutionary militia proclamation has created a fever of excitement.
