We would again urge on our people that they should give their undivided attention to Registration. It roust not be forgotten that it is of the utmost impor tance to have challengers at every registration precinct, every day from the 15th of October nntil the 3d day of November. Voters cannot he cJtallenged on the day of election. Once regis tered, a boy only fifteen years old can vote. Bear this in mind, and remember, too, that durr ing registration is the time to do the real, effec tive work. The Sheriffs. We learn that not over forty of the Sheriffs of the State have settled in full with the public Treflsurer; others have set tled partially. We further learn that the Public Treasurer has notified the delinquent Sheriffs that those who can settle with him by the lGth of the present month, will not be amerced, but all failing will be. Raleigh Sentinel. Horrible Murder. A colored girl named Orizzy Peace was killed at Steep Hill, about five miles from this city, on Monday, by her cousin, Adelaide Adams, with whom she had been liv ing.. Coroner J. T. Rackalan proceeded to the scene,' summoned a jury and investigated the case. From the testimony it appears that the woman Adelaide Adams had became enraged at the child, as she said, for stealing a handkerchief and a spool of thread. To punish her she placed a rope about her neck, threw it over a beam and pulled at the other end to hold the child still while she beat it upon the back. Iu the strug gle the child's neck was broken, the result of which was instant death. Ihe woman was brought to the city and lodged in jail. She act d as pilot for Mr IJaekalan coming to the city in tk.e darkness of the night, and seemed to con sider tli maiter with perfect indifference, asking him when she would be tried and hung, and Other such questions. Raleigh Staiulard. Wine-Makino in N. C. We recently saw at Lumberton the wine presses and fixtures worked by Mr J. T. Potteway of that place. He has entered Jargely into wins-making and ex pects to put up 100 or 200 barrels. lie has good and careful managers, and all the neces sary ingredients, appliances, presses, crushing mills and fixtures. He buys hundreds of bushels of - Scuppernong, English, Catawba, Isabella, Muscadine, and common wild grapes, and large quantities of all theee are grown throughout Robeson county. He keeps up a maiket for grapes, and people all over the country haul large quantities to him. Fagettcville Eagle. 8gy The Wilmington. Charlotte and Ruther ford Rail Road is now being extended as fast as the iron can be laid. The ears now run to a point within 4 miles of Rockingham aud it is expected the train will go to that town by 15th October inst. We learn there is iron enough to lay the track to Pee Dee river G miles beyond Rocking ham, and that the road will be pushed there at once. Fayctteuillc Eagle. ggy We learn Judge Tourgce refused to hold court in Caswell, last week, because no negroes were summoned as jurors. Greemlstro Times. Tourgeo is not fit to be Judge of anything. He ought to have held the Court, aud theu set tle finy difficulty with the county officers. What it Costs. We were in Stokes Couuty last week, and learned that the County Commis sioners had been in session, (not regular) some twelve or fifteen days, at a cost of $18 per day to the county. Five Commissioners and one ' Clerk, each, 83 per day. Say 12 days at 1S per day makes 21 G. Having some curiosity to compare the expenses of the new government with the old, we asked the Sheriff of the cunty what were the expenses of the County Courts of Stokes Count' during the year, lie said the Courts averaged about three das, aud cost $1S a court, or G a day, and four Courts in a year, making the Courts cost the County about 872 ayear. The new system has just gone into operation, and scarcely any business dono, aud has cost the County 21G, or $144 more than U whole year under the old system. What good friends the Radicals arc to the people! Winston Sentinel. i f J8 Corn sold last week at 50 cents per bushel, and for even less, at public sales. This begins to look like old times. If we can elect Seymour aud Blair, we will hear no more com plaint of hard times. Creensloro Times,- 8th No Election in Texas. Gen. Reynolds, commanding the department of Texas, has is sued au order closing with the words: lXo election for electors for President and Vice Presi dent of the United States will be held in the State of Texas on the third day of November next. .Any assemblage, proceeding or acts for such purpose are hereby prohibited, and all citizens ,are admonished to remain at home or atteud to their ordinary business that day." Some weeks ago Mississippi was forbidden to vote, and now the same course has been pursued in regard to Texas. We presume that the same action will be taken in the case of Virginia. These three States have not yet been "re constructed." fiy We heard a citizen laughingly remark that while he is so poor that he can only raise money to buy a peck of meal at a time, there is some consolation in knowing that he has nothing to tax, and hence pays no taxes. He seemed to forget that the corn from which his peck of meal is ground was growu on taxed land, plowed by a taxed plow, drawn by taxed horses hitched with taxed gears. It was hoed with a taxed hoc, cultivated with taxed implements, gathered with a taxed wagon, drawn with taxed horses, thrown into a taxed crib, shelled on a taxed machine, measured in a taxed measure, taken in a taxed sack and ground in a taxed mill, sieved with a taxed sieve, mixed iu a taxed pan, stirred with a taxed spoon, salted with taxed salt, put into a taxed bake-pan, baked in a taxed stove, laid out n a taxed plate, cut with a taxed kuife, aud Jastly eaten by a pretty heavily taxed man. Richmond Whig. " "Trafficking in Flesh and Rloop," It has now been definitely ascertained that, -in 1866, a party of Puritan carpet-baggers, in Mo bile, chartered a vessel for the ostensible purpose of carrying negro emigrants to Texas; that they induced a large number of able-bodied negro men to set sail with them; and that, instead of landing them in Texas, the poor negroes were taken to Cuba and sold to the planters of that Island. One of the crew of the vessel has re cently testified to these facts, and a gentleman A Democrat has gone to Washington to coufer with the President in relation to the arrest and punishment of the guilty parties We commend these solid facts to the consid eration of those negroes who consider every Southern man a "d -d Rebel' and every negro selling carpet-bagger a most virtuous and estima te gentleman- Wilmington oifar. The Catholic Council of 1869. The European papers have lately been rife with speculations as to the character and pur poses of the General Council of the Catholic Church, to be ."assembled next year in Rome. From explanations by authority, it would appear that the Council is not convoked for the same purpose as its predecessors, viz : the deciding of dogmas, or condemnation of false doctrines. Its object is, in the first place, to concentrate the immense moral power of the Church in one solemn protest against the unchristian legislation of many governments of the civilized and Chris tian world. Even in States that profess to be Catholic, the law not unfrequently overrides and defies, not only the discipline but the doctrine of the Church. Thus, f or example, her teach ing as to the holy, indissoluble nature of the marriage tie is ignored or explicitly disavowed in the codes of all Catholic European govern ments, except in the Papal States. Perhaps all our readers may not be aware that South Caro lina, while she was a sovereign Commonwealth, alone amongst her sister States, maintained in her laws, and enforced by pains and penalties, this same principle of the unity and perpetuity of the marriage bond. It ;s not unlikely that, in view of the present state of modern society, the expediency of sever ing all connexion between Church and State will ho maturelv weiirhed in the Council. Think- in" men begin to pay that the Church seems to lose everything and gain nothing, by her depen dence on the State. " It pensions her Rishops, but claims the right to appoint them; it defrays the expenses of her solemn pageants, but tram ples on her laws and discipline. Any motion to free the Church from State trammels will, doubt less, receive the warmest support from the Bishops of this country, and of Canada, Great Britain and her dependencies. Another practical question may be raised as to the election, nationality and residence of the Pope in future. As his independence is essen tial, in order that' his laws or decisions may be respected by those who acknowledge his juris diction, the best means of securing it will proba bly come up for discussion. The Pope must be Bishop of Rome; but it is not necessary that he should be an Italian by birth, nor a resident of Italy. There have been already held eighteen General Councils of the Catholic Church. The first, that of Nice, in the year 325; the 18th at Trent, in 1545. The first eiht Councils assembled in Rastern cities; but since then they have been held in the West, mostly in Italy, but some in France and Switzerland, as those of Lyons, Vicnne and Constance. The authority of Councils is not determined by the number of Bishops who may be present. Sometimes they are few, sometimes many, who take part in the deliberations. The first Coun cil (Nice) had only iJlS ; the second (Constanti nople) only 150, and the last of Trent about 220. Perhaps the most numerously attended Councils were the fonrth of Chalcedon, and tho fourteenth of Lyons, held in 1274. The Council of 1SG9 will far outnumber all those which have pre ceded it. Over a thousand prelates, including Cardinals, Patriarchs. Archbishops and Bishops, from the centres of civilization and -from the ends of the earth, will assist at its deliberations. Of these more than one hundred will come from the New World, and fifty-five of that number from the region that lies between Maine and California. Communicated to the Wilmington Journal. Great Democratic Meeting in New York. New York, Oct. 0. The meeting, last night, was the greatest ever held in this City. An ex perienced Police Captain ' estimated that there were Ninety Thousand persons iu the torch light procession, which when joined by delega tions from the adjoining counties extended ten mi.es. The scene iu Union Square was grand. The main stand represented the 'Temple of Lib erty," and was brilliantly illuminated by strings of lights, which stretched to Tammany Hall. The streets iu the vicinity seemed literally on fire with calcium lights, rockets, fire paintings and balloous The main stand facing Broadway was the centre of attraction, outside of Tam many Hall, although there were six other stands, at which speeches were made to an immense throng, roughly estimated at Half a Million of men, women and children. The crowd stretched compactly down Broadway to Eleventh streets, while the cross streets were alive with citizens. Gen. Baldy Smith was President. He said : 'lie represented hundreds of thousands of sol diers, who thought that the results of the war would be lost, without an entire change of policy.'" A letter from Gen. McClellan was read, em phatically eudorsiug the Democratic candidates. The Sumac Trade. There is scarcely any thing that is so valuable, to be found in North Carolina, which grows more abundantly and spontaneously, than the Sumac. It can be ob tained almost anywhere, on old lands, in the locks of the fences, and on hedge rows, just for the gatheriug. The leaves of Sumac enter large ly into trade and it is growing. The American Sumac contains a larger amount of tannin than any other, which is the source of its value. The leaves sell iu Liverpool at about $75 per ton. m Important to Farmers. We have been informed by a gentleman well posted on the sub ject, that all farmers who will be forced into bankruptcy during the coming fall and winter, can save their growing crops by filing their pe titions on or befurc the 15th of October next, otherwise, the said crops will be included iu the schedules of property. Gohhboro Xews. California. A destructive rain, lastin three days, has flooded the entire country. A number ot cattle belonging to lexas have been drowned. emigrants Women's Rights. Mrs. E. Cady Stanton has been visiting New Jersey, and finds in that benighted State a married woman can neither own. sell nor devise property. But this state of things is not going to continue. Iu the last number of the Revolution she says : "The capital, we understand, is to be regular ly besieged this winter, with all the most im proved engines of warfare, such as conventions, reports, petitions, tracts, and reviews; bumb shells from P.eecher, Curtis, Phillips, Johu Stuart Mill, Pilkbury and Theodore Tilton, Lucy Stone, Francis Power Cobbe, Mrs. Taylor and Lydia Becker are to bfc hurled into the Legislature. In fact, the earthquake in South America is nothing to all New Jersey will suffer, if she does not do prompt and full justice to the mothers, wives and daughters of the State." , The Boll Worm. We learu that the boll worm has made its appearance in some sections of this District. Not much damage is anticina- ted at this stage of the season. Jpanca$tcr Led per, , The Earthquake in South America. ,. The steamer which recently arrived at New York from Aspinwall, brings further particulars of the disastrous earthquake in South America. The loss of life has been terrible, exceeding by far the figures already reported. In Ecuador, it is stated, -that of Cotaeachi, a place of over 05,000 inhabitants, Ibarra with 15,000, and Otavalo of 10,000 three of the largest cities in the north of Ecuador literally nothing is left but ruins; and of the 90,000 human beings who peopled these places it is feared over two thirds have perished. Besides these large cities it is reported that hardly a town or village in the northern part of the republic has escaped, j In Peru the loss of life is placed at 4300. - - (The destruction of property in the towns of this re public was immense, ; but owing to the i time which elapsed between the rumbling announcing the earthquake and the shock, sufficient warning was given to the people to escape into the 'pen fields, away from the falling houses. Chill ap pears to have suffered very slightly, the tewns on the coast feeling the shock and being washed by the earthquake wave, but receiving no great damage. The distress in Peru from the des truction of provisions, and of the apparatusfor condensing and storing fresh water, was vwy great. . The United States vessels in the Pacific ports were conspicuous among other foreign men-of-war for their activity in transporting food to the ruined towns. The Lima papers "have pub lished semi-officially highly complimentary arti cles concerning the humane conduct ol the com manders of the Waterec, Kearsage and Nyack. The stores taken from the Wateree. and distrib uted at Africa among the people will amount in value to $400,000. 1 1 ! ' Postal Affairs. The Post Master General has ordered that from and after the first day of January next, the registration fee on all letters registered and a dressed to any place within the United States shall be reduced from twenty cents to fifteen cents, the same in all cases to be fully pre-paid by placing a 15 cent postage stamp upon the letter, together with the 3 cent stamp, which pays the regular postage, the stamp to be effec tually canceled at mailing office. The present rate will continue until the first of January. The money order system has also been remodeied. Nearly three hundred additional money ord?r offices have been established, making a grard total of 1463 in the United States. " 225 net money order offices went into operation Octobei 5th; among them are five new ones in this State, viz: Asheville, Edcnton, Goldsboro, Jlorganton ,. , , . , ... , .. , r, 1IC11UU, V Iliiptl .1111, VUdUUllt, llliaULlll viij . Fayetteville, Greensboro, Newborn, Kaleih, Salem, Salisbury, Tarboro and Wilmington, makes sixteen iu this State. Others will be js tablished as soon as the necessary arrangements can be completed. The tariff of charges oh money orders has also been reduced to the fol lowing: Orders not exceeding $20, ten cents; 20 to 830, fifteen cents; $30 to 40, "twenty cents; $40 to".S50, tweuty-five cents. No siole order issued for more" than 50. Persons de siring to send larger amounts can obtain aldi tional orders. The money order system is Jen ducted very nearly like the banking busiicss, drafts being issued for the amounts. The uvney is not sent through the mails, but is kept foithe purpose of paying drafts drawn by Postma-tcrs at other offices. ; The present registry system is a gi'eat improve ment upon the old custom of registering, rAiera registered letters were sent in the bundles of let tea's without bt'ing receipted for. Undei the new system, which is perfectly safe, each fitter is receipted tor, a way-bill is attached, and,the same put into a separate patent Racket envebpe, and is sent separately from other lettersthe Postmaster, in all cases takes a receipt from; the lioute Agent, and this Route Agent takes j re ceipt from the next Route Agent or Postmaster, to whom he delivers the same. There is, taen, no chance for loss, as each Postmaster or lbute Agent must be able to show the proper voujher showing to whom he has delivered it. . Land Sales in York District, S.

This proposition of Butler's they call an attempt to excuse stealing, and are astounied that the despot of New Orleans is thus tarnjsh ing his fair fame by views embodying such pal pable dishonesty.

" . r - Jg" Wo see by a paragraph in an exchange, that the Air-Line Railroad Company will, at an early day, hold a meeting at AtlautarGa , for the purpose of taking the initiatory steps for the commencement of this great work.

We "are to have two full moons during the month of October one on the 1st, the other oh the 31st a good time for lunatics.

There will be late sow ing, which is an evil an evil generally; there will be bad. plowing and insufficient harrowing, aud harrowing when the soil is too wet--a great er evil than all the rest. We are crowded, straitened, and become vexed; we are anything but happy, day. or .-nights , .And when., harvest comes the same evil is there: a crowd, work on a leap, too much of it, and perhaps rain; and as late harvesting, whether of grass or grain, is!the rule, the crops will be too ripe,-and a large share will be lost.

These ate evils and, they are.-chronic; They will remain, in all likelihood, for a Jong time the same thing to be . gone over. And- this is farming. A man's conscience must reprove him continually, and this is not pleasant. It is an up-hill, miserable business a mere life of drud gery. . And because farming needs a reformation; needs its land cut up, or less acres to the.man-i less labor and ' better cultivation. Then there will be enjoyment jis well " as; profit.

" ' " Advantages of Pulverizing the Soil Dhe effects of pulverization or stirring the soil are numerous: " 1. " It gives free scope to roots of vegetables, and they become more fibrous in a loose than in a hard soil, by which the mouths or pores be come moro . numerous, and such food as in the soil has a better chance of being sought after and taken up by them. 2. It admits the atmospheric air to the spon gioles of the roots without which no plaut can make a healthy growth. - . 3. It increases the capillary attraction or sponge-like property of soils, by which their humidity is rendered more uniform ; and - in a hot season it increases the deposits of dew, and admits, it to the roots. ' 4. It increases the temperature of the soil in the Spring, by admitting the warm air aud tepid rain. -. 5. It increases the supply of organic food. The atmosphere contains carbonic acid, ammonia, - aud nitric acid all most powerful fertilizers and solvents. A loose soil attracts and condenses .them. Kain and dew, also, contain them. Ana n 1 when these fertilizing "rases are carried into the soil by the rain water, they are absorbed and re tained by the soil for the use of plants. -On the other haud, if the soil is hard, the water runs off the surface, and instead of leaving these gases in the soil, carries off " some of the best portions of the soil with it Thus, what might be a benefit becomes an injury.' " 6. By means of pulverization a portion of the atmespheric air is buried iu the soil, and it is supposed that ammonia and nitric acid are formed by the mutual decomposition of this air and the moisture of the soil heat also being evolved by the changes. ' 7. Pulverization of the surface of soil serves to retain the moisture in the sub-soil, and to pre vent it from . being penetrated by heat from a warmer, as well as from radiating its heat to a colder, atmosphere than itself. These effects are produced by the porosity of the pulverized stratum, which acts as mulch, especially on heavy soils. - - ' ' ' '." " '" '7 8. Pulverization,, also, has the combined ef fectsof several of the preceding causes, acceler ates the decomposition of the organic matter in the soil, and the" disintegration of the miuerai matter; aud thus prepares the inert matter of the soil for assimilation by the plants. Exchange. Keeping Cabbages. rCabbages in the Spring are a great scarcity, yet there is no reason that they should not be as plentiful then as in the Fall. Only a little care is necessary. We have generally kept them fresh andcrisp through the Winter, aud the plan we have, adopted is this: We dug a trench out of doors, about three feet deep, and boxed it all around with loose boards. In this we put the cabages, standing them on end with -the roots downwards, not al lowing the heads to touch. -The whole was then covered with boards, placing them close enough to keep out the wet; the earth was then heaped upon the top. formiug a mound about two feet in height. In this state the cabbage kept all through the Winter iu most excellent condition. No frost reached them aud they were as fresh iu the Spriug as wheu first put away. Frederick ton Farmer. A a I i - -' - -f Foddeu. This has cost money to raise and should be carefully used. Feed regularly, and only so much as au animal eats up clean. There is waste in irregular or over feeding. r If you fodder in the yard, let it be under a shed, with racks to pnt the hay in. Stock should be brought to the barn and foddered there. It is wasteful to scatter hay upon the ground. . Much of it is trampled and lost. , . Cliiting Horses! The Turf, Field and Farm, remarking cut the practice of clipping the hair from the bodies of horses in" other words, shearing them as iu the case of sheep concedes it has considerable antitiuitv " in its favor,1 but doubts the propriety of it. The horse if iu de cent condition, sheds his coat at the commence ment of the warm scasun, aud acquires a new and brighter looking one by the time the autum nal winds render it ueeessary to his health and comfort. But wheu this covering is shortened by clipping, to give the animal a fresher look, especially late iu the season, aud blauketiug is ueirlected, as it too. often is bv the careless or uninterested, injury is pretty certain to ensue. Especially is this1 so when the horse has beeu severely exercised and then left without cover ing to throw oft" the moieture which, '.'covers him. If a horse is sheared, be sure that,1 after being exercised, he has, something thrown, over his body to cotnpeusjte for that supplied by nature, but removed by artificial meaus to gratify the taste of the owner, or to euhance thu present commercial value of the auituul.
