Dxab Six; ' Your circular of the 13th ult.. covering the resolution of the 3d of April, of the Committee of Arrangement for the Celebration ef the CentennUl fnni versarj of the Mecklenburg' Declaration of Independence, awaited my return from a trip through: Virginia, the : Carollnaa, Geor gia and Florida; im the course- of which, 1 had an opportunity of observing the sub stantial progress of your beautiful , little city has made since the pleasant days I passed among its people about eight years ago.

' The boldness with which they declared their opinions,- and the ; heroism with which they maintained them, prepared her sons to regard the liberties of the people of all the colonies as identical with, and es sential to the maintenance of their own. These are facts that we never can forget, for when Washington, on the 4th ot October, 1777. gave battle to Howe in Philadelphia, be sent to the front a brigade of tried men from South of the Potomac, under the com mand of General Francis Nash of North Carolina, who led them gallantly to the un equal and ill-fated contest. It was his last battle. His honored re mains still repose in the quiet burial eround of the Menonites, in Germantown, near the spot on which be fell, mortally wound ed, and but a short distance from fb Park in which the American people have deter mine to commemorate the entennial An niversary of the Declaration of Indepen dence. " Again thanking you for the privilege you have accorded me, I remain, ' Yonr3 very truly, Wm. D. Kklley. Chablotte, N. O, May 6, 1875. Received C. R. Jones, check for $20, being the subscription of Hon. W. C, Kelly, to the Centennial Celebration. J. C. BUBBOI'GHS, Treasurer C. A. Yesterday's, mail brought us the above letter, which we lake pleasure in laying be fore our readers. Judge Kelly belongs to that class of Northern Republicans who have felt siuce the war that the South must be punished for her sins. Right or wrong, the South went to war in favor of secession, and repelled the assaults made upon her by thegeneral government. She committed her destiny to the ha card of the die that was ; finally decided at Appomattox, and fearfully has she atoned, for it." . TFben the brave men who bad followed the fortunes of the "stars and bars" four long weary years, to defeat but not to dishonor, laid down their arms, ft was inf good faith. They had contended for the right of secession, a ques tion which had been in dispute since the formation of the government ; which the Supreme ICourt of the United States had time and again refused to decide, and it was settled against them only by the solemn ar bitrament of the sword. They then asked the Southern people asked that the Northern people accord them the acknowl edgement, that they had contended for what they considered was right, pledging in return the same devotion and patriotism to wards the general government tbat they ex hibited during the revolutionary war; the same valor in defence of the flag tbat they put forth on the plains of Cbalmette, or the arid sands of Mexico. Tes, the same devo tion with which Lee and his men fought McClellan , around Richmond, charged the heights of' Gettysburg, or drove Grant through the Wilderness. And how were they treated T Look back at the legislation by Congress for the past ten years of so called peace, and the question answers itself. We will not dwell on this subject, for the heart sickens at the thought. Judge Kelley is among those who has been our enemy and who now comes to us in the character of a friend. Would that this spirit of re conciliation would spread from city to city4 from village to village, from hamlet to ham let, aye.from heart to heart, until this whole country from the frigid mountains of Maine to the lily covered plains of Texas; from the Atlantic to the Pacific, would cry out one country and one constitution, and that each State, with rights guaranteed, and fetters unlocked, would shine in the galaxy of the Confederation, with no borrowed brilliancy, but with its own native bright ness, making the Unrru Statis the acme of good government on earth. - Let but the spirit breathed in Judge Kcl- ley's letter once take possession of the hearts of the people throughout the North. and it will find a responsive throb through out the South to-day, with the same zeal which induced our patriotic fathers On the 20th May, 1775, to take up the cause of the patriots at Lexington, one month before. In -these days of skepticism; in these days W'raners and scoffers at the truth of historvTwe thank Judge Kelley, in the name of our people and in the name of the Cen tennial Association, for the heartfelt sym pathy of the tone of his letter, and the not less acceptable present of a check for twenty dollars, towards the Centennial Celebration Letter from J.

Pitch in and cut right and left until you sweep them from off the face of the earth. You seem to have learned) very little when you penned the paragraph, but you are all right in the next in which you State "your farmer friends know they have no truer friend than, our journal-" But we were not then (last Fall) nor are we now, in a condition to say which was best, consid ering all the circumstances, thought sojthen and said so, and still think and say (your condition still unchanged we suppose) that more absolute cash could be realized by selling in this nrarket. . Now, Colonel, be ing in the same 'endition" you were last Fall, how. can yoirarrive at any definite con clusion ?
