A Radical Ex-Judge and Leader Writes
a Book iti Favor of Miscegenation.
Tourgcfi's Infamy. 1
From the Charlotte Observer.
Many Radical papers and politicians of
North Carolina avow themselves opposed
to the civil rights law and negro social
equality, and deny that their parly in
this State favors mixod schools and mis
cegenatiun; but lot us see if they speak
tbe (ruth.
-It is well known that ex Judge Tour

of that parly, that be was- the acknowl

late Couvontion, that is he is always
being complimented by the Radical press,
snd that ho is the boon companion and

e aro glad to note the interest which
m
has been awakened on the subject of
grass growing, and the evident disposition
which exists with a large and increasing
number of farmers, to seek information
conueruiug the various forage plants, jand
to try experiments with the most promis

them in their laudable endeavors.
U 1 I .,. ..,
oo mucii uas oeen said in tuose pases
about Guinea grass, that we can add little
to the stock of knowledge which careful
readers of the Ruiial Carolinian al
ready possess. They are aware that
Sorghum halapense, the particular species
oi uuiuea grass or wntcn we are uow
speaking, (and it is the kind most widely
dnown tinder that name,) is a perennial
with underground stems or rootstocks
(rhusomas) by means of which it spreads
like Ueriuuda or Joint grass. These un
doiground stems or "roots,'' as they are
gcuerally called, are very large and strong,
and extend themselves rapidly in overy
direction. The plant also propogatca itself
by means of its seeds, so that it will be
readily understood that if this grass is
good a friend, it is, like firo, a dangerous
enemy; and one should consider well be
fore introducing it on a plantation or farm,
whether he is willing to give it full posses
sion of a certain part of his laud, to have
and to hold forever, for he will find it
next to impossible to eradicate it bnt if
he wants a forage plant, good for all time,
without replanting, and, on good land,
making a heavy yield year after year,
this is the thing.
Mr. N. B. Moore, of Augusta, Ga., has
one hundred acres of Guinea grass, mead
ow, which once in two years he harrows
thoroughly both ways, with a sharp stell
tooth barrow, sows a peck of clover seed
to tho acre, aud adds a fertilzcr consisting
of "one hundred pounds of gypsum, and
an equal weight of tbe best commercial
manure to be bad, to each acre, lie gets
a crop of clover m the Spring, which has

There is said to be "Guinea grass,'
like the ouo here described iu every re
Bpcct, except it being seedless. We have
never seen it. l.oota have been sent os
purporting to he of this seedless kiud
but the plants produce seeds here. Pos
sibly the same plants, growing in a more
northern latitude, wonld have produced
no seed.

here in the coast region of South Carolina,

by way of Florida, is Panicum jernentori-
A Terrible Tale.
A year ago last February the barqe
Jewess of Boston sailed from New South
Wales in the direction of the Auckland
Inlands, a group which lies in the Sooth
Pacific ocean, netr New Zealand. A few
days later, the Boston barque Delia M.
Long and an fbngush barque, name un
known, followed on the same course. No
tidings of the two Boston vessels were
received in this city till recently, when
Capt Brewer of Biddcford, Me., of the
barque Marathon, New lock, returning
from a voyage around the world, brought
back a terrible story in regard to them.
At one of tho ports at which he stop-
ed he had fallen in with a sailor, or some
one who knew him, who purported to be
the sole survivor cf tho three crews. The
vessels, he said, had become becalmed in
the vicinity of the Auckland Islands, and
lay there together several days. They
were boarded at night by cannibals, who
"J came in large numbers, overpowered the
craw, plundered the ships and scuttled
them, i he men were carried prisoners to
the shore, and furnished food for a horri
ble feast of their captors. No particulars
or the nght or or the survivor s escape
were obtained; but tho facts- are pretty
well authenticated, and the long absence
of the vessels furnishes good ground for
believiug the story may be true.
The survivor was one of the crew of the
Jewcsn, and he is said to have related that
the surprise was complete, tho vessel be
ing some distance from land and no signs
of enemies having been seen. The usual
precaution taken when a ship is becalmed
in the vicinity of land inhabited by sava
ges, is to drive sharp nails, placed closely
together, through boards, which are placs
ed over the deck and fastened firmly
down, leaving the sharp iron points stick
ing up. It is then impossible for the bare
footed savages to step upou the deck, aud
they arc shot off at leisure. This precau
tion was uot taken on board the Jewess,
the survivor said, becanee no danger was
suspected.
It is understood that no ship uf the U.
States navy now stationed in the South
Seas, or within reasonable distance of the
vicinity where the terrible tragedy eerdited
as having been enacted. The Jewess was
nearIy-500 tons burden. Ou the three
vessels there were probably thirty men,
but the names of any cannot be ascertain
ed, most of them having been shipped in
or,!ign ports. 1 lme will probably bring
to light fuller particulars of their horrible
Fate. Boston Advertiser.

The Prehistoric Civilization of
America.
The mysterious solitudes of the great
West, those trackless wastes of desert
and mountain, oi deep wooded valley and
rolling prairie which are embraced within
the Territories bordering on the Mexican
frontier, says the New fork Herald, are
slowly yielding up their secrets to the
scientific explorer. Strange ai it may
seem, there are many hundreds of thous
ands of square miles of our national do
main which are as yet a terra incognita,
so far as onr knowledge of their physical
geography is concerned, and it is to spe
cial explorations, such as those cf the
Itayden survey, that we sre indebt-
dfor any information we possess of the
topographical detaile, geological struc
tures, flora and fauna and ethnology of
these wild regions. Regarding their
early occupation by man we are
com pel led to base oer speculations on
such positive evidences as are furnish
ed by the work of human hands. Time
and the operation of natural causes efface
all traces of human existence except
those which can resist decay or withstand
the action of the elements. Even such
indestructible objects may be buried be
neath the shufting desert sands, as in
Egypt and Syria, or overwhelmed by
voicaiic eruptions, an at rompeii
and Ilerculaneum, or lost in the depths of
dense forests which have grown from the
seedlings scattered by the winds among
the ruins of prehistoric cities, as in Now
Mexico and Brazil. The evidences being
-e m a . a
present that civilization once existed in
the midst of this continent, the skill of
the aiclucologist can alone determine its
antiquity by comparison and inference
A condition of civilization may bo sea
sonably inferred when we find order,
'symmetry and ornament combined in the
structure aud arrangement of ancient re
mains. The first two characteristics in
dicute design and intelligence governed
by customs which have grown into laws
for general guidance, while ornamentation
indicates taste, a certain degree of luxury
and popular education, which created
1 a
general appreciation of the beautitul in
form and color. To these may bo added
the significance traceable in all works
that have emanated fiorn peoples who
lived in communities aud adopted mater
ial forms iu the expression of their relig
ious eeutiincnts. All these conditions of
evidence are found in the remains on
which wc base our theory of the existence
of a prehistoric civilization in America.
In order to form an estimate of the anti
quity of this civilization wo are again, iu
the absence of historical record, forced to
speculate on its source, duration and re
lative progress with regard to that of
kuowu pcoph's. The degree of civiliza
tion attaiucd bv the early inhabitants of
Egypt and India can be readily un
derstood as -bared by peoples main
tainiug an intimate intercourse With them,
and as likely to differ, or rather to folio

tbe pushing propeller being attached to

light that it is calculated that one cubic

filled the office of district attorney in one
of the western judicial circuits of North
Carolina many years ago, which is worth
preserving. A "professional gentleman"
established a faro bank in one of the

Dr. DeBoit, the chiropodist, who is
spending some days in Charlotte; brought
into our office ou last night Mr. Flow a
deaf mute, and caused him to pronounce
a number of words in a surprisiagly clear
aud distinct toue. They were probably
tho first words that he had ever ulterred
in his life, aud being utterly deaf, has
never heard a sound. Tho Doctor taught
him to speak from the peculiar movement
of his lips, which the mute closely watch
ed aud thereby understood. The Doctor
has practiced it before and tells us that
he can teach most mutes to talk. Being
impervious to sound they have never prac
