The article in our last issue head ed“ Colored Printers” was so careless ly written, .(in a hurry) as to be capa ble ol misconsi ruction. By our words “that for several weeks nothing was done in the office (of the Statesman) by a white man,” we simply meant to allude to the mechanical work, which was done upon the Statesmen We would not be unde, stood to mean that we “managed” tlr..t office in any other respect than in the de partment of practical work in the way of executing its typog.aphical department which with the exception of proof- ending, we were entirely entitled to the credit of. Immigriitu to North Carolina. To those persons young or old who arc comfortably and well estab lished, we would say, slay where yon are; hut to the thousands who have not the means to p.ocuro them selves homes and own them in the Northern States where land is so high priced, we would say, immigrate to Nor,h Carolina. Especially are these l emaiks addressed to that class of poisons who desire to till the soil and to own the acres which they till. Such peoplo have but a meager chance of ever becoming free holders among the high-p; iced lands in the North ern and Si o: iheastern States, while there are but few of them hut might in a few years time by economy, pluck and industry, provide comfort able homes in this State which they could with pride call their t>wn. To those who wish to change a damp cold climate for a d'-y, mild climate, we would say immigrate to the “Sunny South,” and let North Carolina be the state you immigrate to. To all who wish land in a most beautiful and quiet corn try, with a mild and licahh.ul climate, we say immigrate to our good old North State where you will moef with a warm reception. Gov. Brogdoa’s Mcssagfl The Wilmington Star says:—The Message of tho Governor of North Carolina was communicated to the two houses of the General Assembly last Wednesday. It is a candid ex position of affairs in the State and a hopetnl look ahead. Conservative, dignified, courteous, in spirit and miuiner, it is also clever in i’s state ments and full of practical sugges tions. The Governor does not out line any plan for the adjustment of the public debt, but after classifying the items of the debt, and ascertain ing its total, principal and interest, to be, as nearly as can be made out now, 838,921,848 05, of which a mount 814,935, 930 is special tax bonds and interest, he urges warmly its early, honorable and satisiactory settlement. Suitable reference is made to the sudden death of his predecessor, Gov. Caldwell, and to his own ac cession to the Gubernatorial office. The Governor explains most lu cidly and at length the status of the rail-roads in which the State has an interest, showing that the amount necessary for the present Legisla ture to raise to pay the past due in terest on the construction bonds of the North Carolina Railroad, and j thus save the stock of the Stato from sale under the decree ot the United States Circuit Court, will probably be over 8290,000. This case is on appeal before the Supreme Court of the United Saates. The message is full on tho ques tion of education. The Governor speaks of tho injurious effects upon the public school system of the pen dency of the Civil Rights bill, but says he simply gives expression to the views and feelings of the great body of the people of the State. Immigration, the public charitable institutions, the penitentiary, the militia and the port and harbor of Wilmington are the other subjects that arc treated. Why was Ruth very rude to Boar.? Because she pulled bis ears and trod on his corn. An old lady, hearing somebody say the mails wore irregular, said: “It was just so in my young days— no trusting any of’em.” An Episcopal Colored Bishop. Consecration this Evening of a Black Prelate at Grace Cfunch,—Some thing About the Career of a Jle mai kable Man. The Rev. James Theodore Holly, D. I)., of I’ort-au-Princo, Hayli, who will be consecrated Bishop this eve ning in Grace Church, is particularly remarkable as being the first colored man elected to that office by the Protestant Episcopal Church iu A merica. Bishop Holly, as he will henceforth he called, has struggled through many difficulties to his pres ent emiuence. He is by birth a Marylander, but took up his resi dence at the North when quite young. In tho early part of hiß career he turned to literature as a profession, and his friends delight in relating the following incident of this portion o ills history. Mr. Holly had been for some time furnishing articles to a pe riodical in this city, but was person ally unknown to tlie editor. The articles, howevev, were considered so excellent that the editor wrote to his unknown contributor requesting his carte de visite. Young Holly com plied* and in so doing effectually cut himself off from the paper, for bis patron was so much shocked at dis covering the hue of his correspond ent’s cuticle that ho, then and there, i dropped all intercourse with him. j Bishop Holly's successful career in llayti, however, has been such as to obliterate any bitter recollection that he may have had in America. Ile has accomplished a great deal of good among his own color there, and has rendered invaluable service in many ways to the American minister resident. Not tho least of these is his having charged himself with some of the minister’s correspond ence, which his thorough knowledge of the French language enabled Jiim tocouduct very accuiately. Bishop Holly is no Octoroon or Quadroon, with a preponderance of Anglo-Sax on blood, but is a genuine colored man. In stature he is five feet ten, with a well developed physique, broad-shouldered and well-knit. His head indicates intellect and force of character, and he wears his hair cut close. His face is broad and strongly marked, w’th an expansive brow and keen, though honest eyes. Tho nose; is broad and generous looking, and the mouili correspbnds, but this lat ter is almost concealed by a heavy moustache and imperial. His man ner is courteous and unobtrusive. 11c has the patient, self-contained look of a man who has surmounted giant obstacles and well deserves the dis tinction which is about to be confer red upon him. —Sunday Mercury. ALABAMA. Inaugural Addres of Gov. Ilowton —lmmense Concourse of People — The Military Display, <Cc. Montgomeuy, Nov. 24. This has been a day of great re joicing, an immense concourse of people being in the city. The mili tary display was magnificent. Gov. Houston, in the course of his inau gural address, said: “With a firm determination to re spect and maintain my oatli of office, j which shall be a seal to my con science, I unhesitatingly undertake to perform such duties as it imposes, and I will consider it as ono of my highest and most sacred obligations to see that the laws are .aithfully ex ecuted and the rights of all concern ed, without regard to race, color or previous condition, are duly guarded and protected. Let these occasions inspire tho conviction that we live in a land of liberty regulated by law with which the citizens would have no security against domestic discord or violence, and that our diuy to preserve such laws in their constitu tional purity and power should not and cannot he avoided. A Long Island tax payer made the following speech in a discussion upon the manner in which the educational affairs were conducted: “Mr. Chair man, I arise to stand up, and I am not backward to come forward to support tho grand question of cduca Mon; for, Mr. Chairman, without education I would ho ns ignorant as yon are yourself Mr. Chairman."

House ot Representa tives. Action on the credentials of Mr. Oaksmith, from Carteret, deferred for Mr. Tate to make a statement. — He said that he had been informed that Mr. Oaksmith was not a citizen of the United States, and that there was evidence on file, in the office of Principal Clerk of the House, to show that he acknowledged himself a resident of Germany not more than twelve months ago. He was not ac tuated by any personal hostility to Mr. Oaksmith, but to perform his duty as a representativ of the people. The Speaker, after quoting law and authority on the subject, decid ed that the credentials being present ed in due form, he had no right to reject Mr. Oaksmith, whereupon he came forward, took the prescribed oath and was seated.

Col. S. D. Pool was declared elected by a majority of 1,436. Mutual Admiration Some two miles up the gulch from Raders burg, Montana Territory, is a small mining camp called Keatingville.— Here, not long since, the miners and ranchmen of the vicinity’ congregat ed for a dance, ’and dance they did,’ with an unction unknown to your city belles and beaux. One interest ing young man, Dave Boerum, hav ing imbibed rather too freely, be came “fatigued” in the course of the evening, and wisely concluded to “re tire” for a short vest. A door adjar near the dancing hall revealed invit ingly a glimpse of a comfortable bed • of which he took possession, with a prospect, of an undisturbed “snooze.” It so happened that this was the la dies’ withdrawingroom, and no soon er had ho closed his eyes than a pair of blooming Montana damsels came in from the hall and began adjusting their disordered ringlets, the dim light of the tallow candle not dis closing the tenant of the bed. The girls bad tongues, like most of their “sock,” which ran on iu this wise: “What a nice dance we are having! Have you heard anybody saying any thing about me, Jane?” “La, yes, Sally. George Crowan says he nevor see you look so hand some as you do to-night. Have yon heard anybody say anything about me?” “About you! Why, sartin. I heard John Hildebran tell Reuben Rader that you were the prettiest dressed girl in the room.” When.upon the dear things chuck led, “fixed up” a little more, and made off to ward the ball-room. They had hardly reached the door when our half conscious friend raising him self upon his elbow, and quite iutul ligibly, though slowly, inquired: “Have you heard anybody say anything about me, gals?” | -Phansy their phcelings" at that juncture. They fled, witi* an explo sive scream. An erring husband, who had ex hausted all explanations for late hours, aud had no apology ready, re cently slipped into the house about one o’clock very softly, denuded himself gently, and began rocking the cradle by the bedside, as if he had been awakened out of a sound sleep by infantile cries. Ho had rocked away for five minutes, when Mary Jane, who had silently ob served the whole manoeuvre, said, “ Come to bed, you fool, you! the baby ain’t there.” TIM. £T ABLE.
