Tlio Reporter. ENTERED AT TIIE POST OFFICE IN DAN BURY, A 8 SECOND CLASS MATTER. rEPPIiR J- SONS, Pubs, and propt. THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1881. Eastern North Carolina. The attention of immigrants and truck farmers is being direoted to the valuable lands and climate of Eastern North Car olina by the reports of the fiae crops which have bseu produced under the I double crop system, as practiced aioand 1 Newbern. Owing to the location of Newbern (being near the ocean, and situated at the junction of the Ncuse and Trent Rivers) it has a warm, moist climate during the winter aud spring months, aud is almost exempt from snow, which makes it one of the best trucking lo calities of the South. It is pre eminently the pea-produciug section. Peas can not be shipped as early as from Charles ton, but they are sent North when the demand is largest, during the month ot April, when Virginia lambs are being marketed, aud when the highest prices are obtained. The pea orop is planted la January and comes off in April, just in time to plaut cotton on the same land, thus obtaining two profitable crops from the same field each- yetr. Truck farming is developing rapidly at Newbern, More head, Beaufort, Newport, IlaveUok, Croatan, and, in fact, on tba entire line of the Atlantic aud North Caroliua llail road from Goldaboro to the ocean Large crops of peas, potatoes, radishes, turnips, timatoes, cucumber, cabbage, nutmeg and water melons, strawberries, etc., are being shipped by rail and steam ers to the Northern cities. This system of agriculture employs many laborers in plauting and gathering the crops, and distributes during the spring months a large amount of money. Tbe fact that two marketable crops can be produced per annum in this por tion of North Carolina, which is warmed by the near approach of the Gulf Stream, is bringiug experienced Norfolk truckers to Newbern, and is causing large crops to be produced each year About twenty five hundred acres were planted in vege tables of various kinds this spring, which is folly doable the acreage of last year, the largeat portion ot which was again planted in cotton, early in May. Thus the farmers have employment from January to December; but, as there turns are liberal, they ean afford to work. The light aoils of this section can be worked during the entire year. Labor during the picking season is quite abundant, and can be had at moderate prices. Tbe shipping facilities are good, there being daily communication either by rail or steamer with Norfolk, and from there by steamer to New York, Philadelphia, and Haltioaore. A number of capitalist*, who are engaged with Mr. W. J. Best in his sebeme to build the Midland Railroad from Goldaboro to Salisbury, were ia the city on Tuesday and yesterday, when they went to Bfaufort to examine tho harbor there. It is understood t*at the project contemplates the lease of the Atlantio and North Carolina Kailroad, the construction of a link to Salisbury and tbe consolidation of these work* with the Western North Carolina Rail road. From all that wc can gather there teems to be reason fer believing that a bona fide effort will be made to carry into effect the plan above indioated. It will have the sympathy of moat of oar readers. We-favor very emphatic ally any proposition to build a railroad within the limits of this State, and it wonld be particularly gratifying lo see tbe people who live in the section to le traversed by the proposed line from Goldaboro to Salisbury afforded railroad facilities. Suoh a road would not in terfere to any great extent with the boainesa of the North Carolina Railroad, and would not tend to lessen tbe value of that great highway. We are led to understand that the gentlemen now associated with Mr liest are in earnest and have the means to oonstruct the work We hope that all the necessary preliminaries may bo sat isfactorily settled aud that ground will be broken at an early day — Raleigh Newt Observer. Newbern Nut Shell: La»t night Mr. Best, his couuscl. a number of wealthy capitalist* and ex Governor Vance, pass ed through our city emoute for New port, where they go, we learn, to look into the Newborn and Beaufort canal project. It is said a greil railroad scheme has something to do with the movement. Injustice to Woman. BY UEV. W. T. C'JTOHIN, M. A. Woman has rights and wrongs as well as man. She hhould bo honored, ad mired aud courted for her virtues, and dograded, scoffed and ridiculed i'or her lewdness and tolly. But should the re ceive a less recompense of reward or compensation for her virtuous acts and noble dods? Or should she be mora deeply degraded or severely critieised for her faults and wrongs ? is the ques tion before us. Man is the head of woman. Woman is tho weaker vessel. Woman is tu a greater or less degree dependent upon man. Shall she thea be more responsi ble for her folly, or less respected for her virtue? All true citizens and philan thropio minds answer, no ! The world is full oi sis and misery, fall of sorrow and woe, full of wretohed ness and despair, but the actors are not alone the guilty. The sufferers are not alone in sin. There i« a responsibility where seemingly is "ease in Zioo." Woman, virtuous, true and good, is lauded to the skies. The poets verse, i and tho painter's brush alike speak her j charms, and portray her excellences The statesman appeals lo her innocence ' and tb» orator throws a balo of glory round her head. Hut what a "fearful . looking for of judgment" if she sins ! | Let ber yield to temptation, or fall in sin; let her be less than immaculate hu man or invincible to the tempter; let her listen to the honeyed words of the deceiver and seducer, and no natter if those "infant brows were bedewed by as gentle tears as ever fell from our own mother's eyes," those "childish wero watched with as tender a solicitor," or "her way was consecrated by as con stant and feryent prayers," she is brand ed by a curse more withering than Cain's, mora terrible than the infidel. She is doomed to forfeit respect, affection, hope and heaven. She is condemned by her brothers and sisters alike, to the worm that dieth net and to (be fire that is not quenched. Not a single word, or a sim ple whisper toquell the thundering curses of a guilty conscience to assuage the throbbing heart, the heaving breast, or comfort the panting soul. Guilt enfolds it in a dark robe, and society cries thero is no remission for her sin. , But what of him who made her this ? What of him who, like a serpent, enter ing the bower assails the weakest, yst strongest part of her nature, by bypoc racy aud deceit? What ot him who spoke in the language of love, but whose power was wrested as an instrument of bell ? What of him who won her con fidence and hearts most sacred feelings, and then brought her ruin ? What is the judgment and penalty of his crime ? Womsn is cast forth as a wandering fu gitive and outcast, driven from society and God. But her betrayer, the sor pcut and soul destroyer, is clasped in societyV most cherished embrace. Wo men is condemned to woe, world without eDd, but mas is accspted as an ornaneat of the best society. He is introduced in the most "polite" societies to wives and daughters alike lie is permitted to embrace tho daughter* in the danee. They are intrusted to his care in long rides and walks. He is permitted to lead a daughter to the altar and receive the paternal blessing; and if his orimes are hinted at, or spoken of, you are re minded significantly of "wild oats" or in studied phrase "youthful indiscretions." Mothers suggest that all young men are a little wild, but marriage cures them of that, and the young ladies only esteem him the more interesting, because he is a "fast young man." Is there justice in such biased judg ment. Is there discretion in such acts of lolly 1 Is man lest tainted by sin than woaan ? Is sin more corrupt or less offensive in man or woman ? To the eyes of every true christian, and the judgment of every unprejudiced mind, man is aot leas tainted, offensive or cor rupt. Woman is imposed upon. She is dealt with unjustly and unfairly. Her sins are mad* greater than she can bear. May the Lord give her the sympathy which society refuses to grant, and pun ish man for the sins in which society sustains him — llaleigh Advocate Bad —About the worst thing said of President Garfield is, that he associates with the blasphemer Ingersoll, or allows him to make frequent sooial visits to his office in the White House. If the report is true, it is a disgrao* and crime which should not be tolerated in the Chief Executi# of a christian and civilized nation. And neither is it a credit to any party to quote and publish what the blaspheming infido! says about liqnor and/ho liquor traffic. No respect or attention should be paid to the utterances of such a foul blot upon creation. A Colored Editor's View. [Goldshoro Star.] We believe that the two raots in the South are dependent one upon the other and that the Southern people, regardless of race, color or previous condition, have one common intorest that is fast mani festing itself to both races; and any misfortune that may befall the negro equally effects the whites But, on the other hand, should the white people oontinue to aooujnulate wealth aud advance in literature, the negro will follow in rapid succession, and ibero is no power on earth, save the all-powerful hand of God, that oan stsy his onward march of progress. There was, however, in the past, a time when it was necessary for the color ed people to confederate themselves to gether iu order to sst at rest their polit ical rights, but inasuiuoh as this is a settled principle of all political parties and a part of the organic law of the nu tion, they will tilccesatily, from sslfin terest, aa the whites have always done, divide between the two political parties; aud, iu fact, it would be better for the colored voters to exercise some degrse ol independence, inasmuch as their devoti on and undoubted sincerity has always been taken advantage of by the men that control the patronage. For instance, in this State wo have 9C,500 o.olorcd to 33,500 white ltspub lican voters, but in the division of (.'Si ces of appointment 19? out of every 20 are hsld by while men. Prerequisites of Success. Integrity of character and truth are the prerequisites ot success in any call ing, and especially ->• iu that of the mer chant. These are the attributes which never fail to command respect and win admiration. No one fails to appreciate them ; and if they "do not pay," in the vulger sense of the phrase, they bring an amount of satisfaction aud peace to the owner that all the wealth of Croesus could not yield There i* not better stock in trade than those principles; no capital goes so far or pays so well, or is so exempt from bankruptcy or loss. When known, they give credit and con fidesce, and in the hardest of times will honor your paper in bank. They will give you ati unlimited c.pitaliodu busi ness upon and everybody will indorse your paper, ana the general faith of mankind will be your guarantee that you do not fail. .Let every young man upon commencing business, look Weil to these indispensable elements of sucoess, and defend tbem as he would the apple of his eye. If inattentive aud reckless here he will imperil everything. Bank ruptcy in oharaoter is seldom repaired iu an ordiaary lifetime. A man may suffer in reputation and recover; not so the man who suffers in character, lie just and truthful. Let th*s* be the ruling and predominating principles of your life aßd reward will be certain, either in the happiness they bring to yoar own bosom, or the success which will attend upon all your business oper ations in lif*, or Teacher. The N. C. Midland. Preparations are being made to ac tively push the work of grading (he North Carolina Midland railroad track, from Lcaksville towards Stateaville.

So far as we have gone in the 'New Version' we fail to disoover that things are made any safer, hereafter, or the way any wider or easier than the old on*. — Richmond State. Judge M. H Cofer, Chief Justice of the Kentuoky Court of Appeals died in Louisville on Sunday, aged 49 years. He waa born and brought up in Hardin county, whither his remain* will be taken for interment.

Arrangements have been niadt at the Indian Office, Washington, to effect the removal ot about seventy of the North Carolina Cherokee Indians to Indian Territory. This, it is thought at the Interior Department, is the first step to ward the removal of the entire tribe, numbering about 2,000, to that Terri tory. Some of the editions of the revised New Testament will be sold at five cents. Millions have already found tbeir way into lbs hands of the people, and other millions will do the same. Everybody is rending the book ami talking about it The effeot will be a gteat revival of re ligion and religious controversy. Work has been commenced on the Nor'h Caro'ina Midland Railroad, at a point 7 miles south-west of ihid place The com pany propose to employ 400 hands, who will b* employed between here and Yad kin River. T1 e shanties have been erected, crts, mules, picks, &c.,shipocd, and everything propaied necessary to n vigorous prosecution ol the work.— Winston R*publican Greensboro Patriot: About seventy Genoa,) immigrants passed through Greensboro a day or two ago en route for the South.

At his death he was worth sl7 000,000, all made in ie** than eight years He was a native Pennsylvanian, and was benevolent. He gave a Virginia college considerable help. Greensboro Patriot: In addition to the cases developed at Concord, we learn that small pox has made its sppearance at llarrisburg and Mt Pleasant, in Ca harms county. For the protection of thair other patients, the physicians ol the county refused to attend any one stricken with the loathsome disease, and the Richmond and DanviUe Railroad authorities employed a physician in Richmond who is well versed in treating the disease and sent him to loik after the German immigrants He passed through Greensboro Friday morning en route to Concord. Be kind lo lightning rod men and book agents. They have fathers perhaps, and mothers, who knew thetn in their innocent youth. Perhaps even now, in some Western village, fond hearts are beating for thsm, and sweet lips breaths love's dearest prayers for their welfare. Therefore lay them down tenderly, fold their hands peacefully on their breast, and close their eyes gsntly as yon put them to rest under the braoches of the weeping willow, where the birds csroll all through the summer days their modest songs. But plsnt them deep plant them deep— Charlotte Observer.
