8iw time since we addressed 11 circular

North Carolina, proposing to establish uni

the publication of Court aim Justice' orders.

We publish on our first psge this week
the important law in relation to Laudlord
and Tenant, except the firms of procedure

general importance, and our readers would do

" 'We see it stated that a paper is to be es
tablished at Boston upon a capital of $50,-
000 for the purpose of advocating free trade.
We are not at all prepared to hear this. Tin
position of the two sections is bound to change
on tins question. Ten years hence the South
will be a unit in favor of a tariff for revenue
wiili incidental protection while the North
will generally favor free trade. A tariff for
revenue with incidental protection, would
be a fair compromise between those who for
merly favored a tariff for protection, and who
were for free trade and direct taxation. Snch
was tlie object of the Democratic platform ;
adopt' d at the New York C.uvention on the
4th of July last. The amount of fraud per
petrated iu the Internal Kevenns department,
under the present system of excises, has done
more to explode free traU ideas in the South
than all the arguments ever made against it.

fair hands, and they all are our brothers.
Many of their names are unknnwn to us ;
but we pay our tribute, also to the un
known dead, for wc know that somebody's
darling sleeps under each ot these little
mound. The heart of mother, wife, or
sister perhaps ached und hoped long for
their return, but they never came. Often
when evening twilight was settling down
upon orange grove and jessamide bower,
loved one. , in the home far away, have
gazed forth wistfully for the face and
form of these whom death has consigned
to our keeping forever. The eye has look
ed and the ear hn listened for them, but
tney cine not. Unly night and despair
came. Let us drop a flower and n tear on
their graves, and hope that gentle hearts
and fair hands may this day do the same
for our loved ones that went aud never
came again.
W e are the children of a bereaved and

It is not my pnrpose on this occasion
to discuss questions which have uten de

it in my heart to speak harshly of those
in tho list of crushed and bleeding na

really fought for Empire, and not for lib
erty, they did 60 unwillingly.
Nor shall I say an) thing with the de

"There's a Divinity that shapos our ond,

And with a firm trust in a superintend
i ig Providence, who moHlds the de.-tiny

look the dread, mysterious future in the
face, and fearlessly await what it may
have iu store for us.
But while I would do justice to our late
adversaries, and would not encourage vain
regret over their success -and our defeat,
nevertheless, iu the name of these sleeping
heroes around us, I r.sk the world to do
justice also to their motives, their charac
ters, and their deeds, us well as to the
cause in which they perished. As for the
cause itself, I care not at this time to en
ter upon any extended remm ks respecting

Yjet sufficiently impartial Posterity alone
wilt be calm enough to weigh these great
questions, after time shall huve brought to
ripeness all the iruits of tur overthrow,
But I shall be pardoned for say in;', in
a single word, w hat was our own view of
our own cause. It was, in oui opinion
and in the opinion of these men who died
or it, a contest for the right of pell-gov
ernment. 1 eri State and eight million
of men claimed the privilege of governing
themselves in their own way, and it was
denied them. ' i ,
On the same fields, les than a century
ago, our fathers fought for the right of
thtee millions to govern themselves ; and i
having established it, they niiade this gieat
principle the foundation stone of Ameri
can institution. The woild ha ceased
to call them rebels, and now honor them
as patriots and sages. If ai struggle Hor
sell-government was their glory, by what
strange alchemy is it transmitted into our
crime Noue ther than the. diflei encc of
fortune. Successful, the world calls them
heroes. Unsuccessful, some daro to call
us traitor.
But, alter all, it is n unsafe rule to
measure virtue by its good fortune, and
make success the test of excellence. This
never' can be true in a world which ha
worshipped demons and crucified its God
flight makes right among savages only.
But, wise men, who look into the essence
of things, well know that while fortune is
fickle, truth i changeless and immortal.
Upon the defeat of our armies we lost
the privilege of self-government. Stran
gers now dictate our law. Strangers fill
our offices. Strangers occupy our places
at the council board of the country. We
are as aliens in our own land Liberty's
holy shrine opens iro door to as unless we
crawl as suppliants or oasety lorswear our
selves. Strangers and servants bear rule
over us. Our once resplendant and still

of blood and death. Thonghts of the no

so nobly fought, how is the heart, oppress

At the last session of the General As
sembly of North Carolina a bill wa
pased allowing the stockholder to con
solidate if they thought proper. This
eOHSolidtttion act could never have passed
uKii its own merits it was lorced
through by being attached to the great
omnibus Rail Koid schemes. If you
will examine this bill carefully, end com
pare it with ths original charter of this
Company will see at once, that if we
were ever so an lions to consolidate, we
could i n think of such a thing nnder the
present act. See for a moment. It wipe
out all of your original right, and dic
tate what per cent, shall be charged,
'and no other," upon ait'cle- sent over
the toad. !t is plain to see that no
freight w ill ever reach Morehead City
under that law, and no through freight
would eve pas beyoiid G i eensboro.
With the complications attending this
i d if i s ill the least restricted to a
certain per cent, and "no other, you.
would soon discov er that its income would
not be sufficient to keep it up and pay the
inteieston its d tit. In fact, it would
soon be as tar below par as the Atlantic

Doubtless ever' artifice will be resorted
to, to g-t your consent to consolidation.
Vour proxies will be vigilantly sought air
ter, and every argument of a drowning
atari will bo brought to bear to beg yon to
consolidate yonr road w ith theirs, which
only means to help them pay their debts
and keip up their road, ll you are op
posed to consolidation i would waru you
ty be careful with whom you confide as a
proxy. If the opponents of connolida
lion stand firm, we can detent them by
large majority, and thus save our road
from destruction.
Freights and passenger are gradually
increasing, and our through connection
will soon extend to Atlanta, Ga. When
this take plate your road wjll pay you a
liandsome itivitletui, and yonr stock Will
go to par. But. it you conolidate all is
lost, and we will have to depend entirely
on way station for support.
