Tli'- The :- Advantaged of' " onr Section. The following. sensible letter ia from a gentleman who is nof a native of Xorth' Carolina, " but who has recently located in this State, and who has discay cred, what some natives have failed to do, that there is no better place to live in than North Carolina: Mr. Editor: I hare been attracted by the prac tical ideas you are endeavoring (through your col umns) to promulgate to our people. And my atten tion has been especially called to your etiorts to prove, and as I think successfully, that this portion of North Carolina is a highly favored section and needs only the same energy, coupled with good farm ing, that emigrants to other States employ, which, if exerted and used here, would be attended with like results. While Immigration Societies and Immi grant Agents are busy trying to bring us a foreign population to work our idle lands, I doubt not if you have not availed more by keeping home mauy who fancied a removal to another" State would give them "a nigh cut" to fortune. It behooves us to look at this subject in all of its practical bearing, and devise some means of placing our State on a footing that will again fix her on the high road to prosperity I may be in error, but I coulees that 1 doubt our ability to "turn the tide of foreign immigration to this quarter, and my opinion is based upon the fact that there is a vast amount of Northern capital used without stint by Agent in Europe who stick to the immigrant from the time he leaves Vaterland until he reaches the Western terri tories, where labor commands much more than it does here; and the immigrant is lured thereby high sounding figures and n prospect of seeing others of his couutrymcn who have pi eceedcd him, while he does not take into consideration the difficulties which accompany these high iuduccuieuts. Hence, while 1 am the last man in the world to discourage foreign immigration to our State, yet it strikes me very forcibly that there is another class of persons to whom we should also extend a welcome and a home. In past years many of our best people removed to other cotton States. JIany of these persons have been impoverished by the war, and are now located in Hix-tinns where the neeroos tar outnumber the whites, and they are hopelessly in tne minority, unu caunot hope for a change in their African Constitu tions for many years to come. In this State, and in VirtriiiSa. we can look forward to better times, for the netrro is in the minority and it is to be hoped that Gen. Grant's SnffraK .Views; ... Judge rlerrepoint of ' Vfr'ginia recently .made a speech in New York i at a Republican meeting, in which he alluded to Gen. Grant's views on the ques tion of negro suffrage." ' When Judge P-ierrepoint had the conversation alluded to he was a democrat, but since turned republican. Pierrepoint Baid : "One day at his house in Washington, while be was Secretary of War, I told him that I thought he would make a good democratic candidate if he was right on the question of negro suffrage. He replied that he had no wish for the Presidency ; that he had now a much higher office than he had ever expected: that General Sherman would make a good Presi dent, and that he would gladly give the- hall he was worth to make Sherman or any other fit man Presi dent that his feelings and sentiments were entirely opposed to negro suffrage ; but that he did not wish to be restrained by any pledges from the right to change his opinion in future if new exigences con vince him that he was wrong: for, said he, you will remember that early in the war, when I was m com mand at the West, I publicly stated that if the ne groes had an insurrection I would hold my army in check until it was put down. But long before the war was over I should have been glad of a negro in surrection, and would have moved my army all the faster. What I want is the Union the whole coun try returned to peace and submissive to the laws. I do not like universal negro suffrage now, but the freedmen ought to be protected, and if the only way to protect them in their helpless condition is to give them the suffrage, then I shall be in favor of letting them vote. I want the Union restored, and to have the South come back, obey the laws, and submit as i nnrl ifthp future nrovos that they will not do it withont negro suffrage, then I would gi them negro suffrage." vc iioi'd reputation that attaches to the good . .. .,ll1,;f11 whi lmri Ksisled the i - . i i iuusu vi nic mv II" Itl V 1.1I L, ..

The Newbern Republican, speaking of the Superior Court in session in that City, says: "We would observe just here that some members of the legal fraternity abuse the privilege of then profession in insulting and trampling under foot the feelings of witnesses. In the U. S. District Court vesterdav. an evidence of this kind was rendered by m.i " . 1 a An A-m ATI A a member ot the aewoern oar, m -"'-mi'v-"v--; of his inability to brow-beat a witness, ana presuming upon his legal position before the Court, made several aggravating and unwarrantable allu sions to one of the witnesses, a gentleman oi promi nence and Standing in this community." If the Judge failed to protect the witness why did not the witness protect himself by inflicting punish ment upon the lawyer in the presence of the Judge? It is the duty of Judges to protect witnesses from insult while testifying iu Court, and if the Judge permits respectable persons to be brow-beaten and insulted in his presence, ha too ought to be held to a strict account as well as the lawyer who pursues such a disreputable coarse. We are decidedly in favor of showing all due respect to Judges, lawyers and officers of Court while in the discharge of their duties, but we insist that they also be made to re spect the feelings of others in all proper ways.

K. C. Haywood, Col. David Carter, and ourself, the Committee refused to make any such concessions and thereby, wc think, .lost to the party several thousand votes. We have not alluded to this matter heretofore, because, being a member of the Committee that re ported the State Platform, we did not think that it would be right to publicly object to its action while the contest was pending, although we opposed and - oted against the resolutions in committee. Seeing that the suffrage truest ion could not be much longer evaded, we thought it would be better for our parly to at once favor qualified suffrage and secure whatever Advantage possible before our opponents CvmUned the colored voters against us o doubt the t arty will yet proclaim in favor of it. but it may be too late to secure the confidence and support ot the colored man. , m -st Hi -M..B V lie:ir that it has been re ported by some one in this section, that the P.ev. E. F. Kockuell. President of Statcsvillc Female College, is a Radical and intended to vote that ticket. Some of Mr Rockwell's friends think the rumor is calcu lated to injure hit School, and, as it is untrue, ought to be contradicted. The report docs him injustice. We happen to know as much about Mr Rockwell's political opinions as any other mau in the State, and we know that he is not a Radical in uny sense of the word he is a Conservative indeed and in truth, but dov.3 not meddle with politics more than to vote. If each a report was circulated about us individually we would not notice it, but in Mr Rockwell's case it may be deferent, andwc therefore, of our own ac cord, AMmtradkT it. We do so as au act of justice to .a friend,' and not with the slightest disposition to pander to the proscriptive and vindictive epirit of any one. New Advertisements.

The latest exploit of the General is a direct interference in the busi ness of a civil court, without any appearance of cause or j ustification. To-day President John son received the following dispatch from Texas : "Richmond, Texas, Oct. 26, 1868. His Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the united istate. The following order was received here by tele graph: "To Judge McFarland, Richmond, Ttxat: For reasons made known by the Governor and Attorney General you will continue until next term the causes involving the question or heirship to the estate of J.

N The following new ideas in relation to an im proved mode of cultivating the staple, we take from the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph of the 15th in stant : ' . ''Gossiping the other night upon the proba bilities and possibilities of cotton growing, an experienced and intelligent planter in1 the circle expressed the opinion that '-one of these days" more than four bales of cotton would be raised to the acre upon our poor pine uplands in Middle Georgia. The method he developed was briefly this: To raise the cotton plants in a not uea, so as to have them ready to transplant, and as large as possible for that purpose, so soon as frosts were gone in the spring. Meanwhile to lav nnt in gouares or hills, einht feet apart each wav. and have these hills excavated deeply and widely, and heav ily manured. By early trans planting, the bolls would begin to open in June, nrl in a favorable vear. produce till November. With two stalks to the hill and fifty matured bolls to the stalk, his calculation was. that the product would be seven, thousand pounds of seed cotton to tho acre. But if one were to judge by n pnt ton-natch we saw this fall, with an avcr:ig of about three hundred bolls and blooms" to the stMll- and add the condition of five full months 1 . .. .. ii Vm'tino- tim it IS dlfilCUlt tO teU WHUt WOU1U h theriroduct of an acre of cotton under such conditions.

The distribution of troops being now complete in this District, occasion is taken to remind all officers commanding posts and stations, of the necessity of careful compliance with existing instructions, and orders, and especially to fix attention to the object of their presence, in tho different localities, which is solely for the preservation of peace, and the render ing of -assistance in case of disturbances or riotous proceedings, which' the civil authorities may be un able to suppress. "" Under no circumstances will officers or soldiers fraterniie with political parties, or ; in any manner interfere with the peaceable exercise, by all citlaens, of their rights and privileges as such. The conduct of the troops nas so far been satisfactory, and with proper judgment on the par of officers no. cause for complaint need be occasioned. To the citizens of the State, it is only ' necessary to remark, that the political campaign !- far progressed with a degree of quietness and good order creditable to all concerned, and it is to be hoped that such may be the case until its conclusion. The re cord of .North Carolina is as yet unmarrcd by acts of lawlessness, which have in some instances so in juriously affected other communities, and thepresent exercise of moderation and wisdom will hereafter be the source of much satisfaction to her citiiena. The credit which will be conceded to all parties should such a gratifying result be attained, cannot but be productive ot good results. , 1 The disposition of troops are such as to warrant the belief that with the assistance of law-abiding citizens, the civil authorities will be enabled to pre serve the peace and bring to justice those who may be so inconsiderate and thoughtless as to atteutpt its violation. .
