The Situation Ocb Prospects ITroin all that we hear and see. we presume there" is j considerable apprehension of '-evil to come" pre i vailing among the "country people." They hear rumors of war. and hundreds of rumors that have no foundation iu truth. The refusal of Congress to admit the southern members, and the delay in restoring us to civil government, has greatly dis couraged the people and keeps them uneasy. j Many are afraid to receive "greenbacks," and J many are indisposed to make preparation for fu i ture business operations, in consequence of the j unsettled condition of public affairs. It is the duty of our national authorities to do all in their power to uisnel aDDrehpnsion nnd allay fear. If President Johu.on is really as e-ood a friend of thn South as ho is represented to be. he will soon produce a change in the man n ' agement of affairs and demand onr restoration to former rights. But we do not consider the prospect as bad as many others do. As for war, we thiuk it will be a long time (if ever) before the United States en- t SnS3 1,1 a struggle with England or France, j The mo'st of the rumors on that subject are man ! ufactured by correspondents who are employed by northern papers to stay iu Washington and write "startling news." Neither the President, Mr Seward or any oour Ministers abroad, have given indications of war, and we do not believe there is any danger of an early rupture As to the refusal t admit our representatives in Con gress, we can't see that it will hurt us much, al though it is unfair treatment; but if we are per- mittod to have civil government and civil law, it is immaterial about haviner renresentatives in Congress during the present session, for they k. son is true to his profc-ssimis. he will withdraw, ! of - nuilu ! f i r tlia m i 1 it u r v irnvprninPTits from th. m,t1i...-., Ktnt.s nd deelare the oivil erovern- ments re-established, and thus forestall the radi-" cals who control Congress. Considering the circumstances which have sur rounded us since the close of the war, the people of North Carolina have reason to be thankful that they have got thus far along without greater in jury and inc: lvenience. It is true, annoyances have, been and are being suffered, but we know that Gov. Ilolden has done all in his power to re lieve tho people' and save them from trouble, and we might show that it was unfortuuate that ho was not elected Governor; but at present we are not disposed to quarrel with any one about it. If Mr Worth has an opportunity to act, he will, no doubt, do all in his power for the good of the Stute, though his influence at Washington is noth ing like eoual to that of Mr Ilolden. North Ca- rolimi, under the control of Gov. Ilolden, is a paradise compared with Tenuussee ruled by such a man as Uiowulow. j Upon the whole, we think that no depressing : discouragemeut should choke the operations and energies of our people. Let us wait with timely j patience and all may yet work well. In . the ; meantime, newspaper writers ought to be careful ; not to produce excitenent or uneasiness by tlieo ! rctic:.!, grumbling or gloomy articles, nor by indulging in controversy and feuds. At a time j like this, all the people of a southern State should act in harmony. If Editors want to quarrel let them postpone it until we get out of our present difficulties. Quarrelling and complaining can do no crood, hot does a great deal of harm. The less ! said now the better for us all. In the language of another we would say : "Newspapers, now- l adavs. are the teachers of the people m a great i f i i j i measure; tnerciore ne a peace-maner. auu nave a blessing; be blood-thirsty and of a disturbing disposition, - and you descend to your grave with the ill-will of the community." Congress. The synopsis of the proceedings of Congress which we publish to-day will be fuuud interesting and important. It will be seen that the House of Representatives have passed a resolution refusing to repeal the Test Oath. In asmuch as no Southern man who has been elect ed to Congress, witlra few exceptions, can hon estly take the tost oath, it follows as a matter of course that they will not be admitted to seats in the Senate or House of Representatives. In this State, there is but one man elected who can, or who is willing to -take the test oath Mr Jones of the Mountain District. It would seem, therefore, that if we want our Senators and Representatives admitted, we must hold another election and send men who can tafe the oath. Are the P"00 and those gentlemen who have already bePl elected, willing to do the work over again ? How ever hard and unfair it may seem, it appears that it will be required of us. But while this decision of the House of Repre sentatives keeps out our members, it is gratify ing to seo thattJen. Grant has made a report to Congress of his recent tour through the southern States, in which-he expresses satisfaction with the conduct of the southern people and believes they " have accepted the situation of affairs in good faith." President Johnson i.lso sent a mes sage -to Congress expressing the idea that tho South could be trusted. What effect these com- municationa will have on the radicals remains to be seen. Tho following has been sent to us with the request that we publish it : Kingston, E. Tenn., Dec. 6, 18G5. Mr Editor: I ask permission througk your columns to return mv kindest thanks to Mrs my Judge 0.-bonie and Mrs Elizabeth White for their kindness and very timely aid in tho way of pro I visions tendered and furnished me at "Charlotte, . rs . whilst on my way as ual prisoner i of war, from Kichmoiul. V a., to Andersonville. Ga., in March, 1 t?t4 . Hoping that such' expres ; sion of my feelings will hot come amiss even at this late date, as it is the first opportunity that I have had of doing so. I Their kindness whs the more pleasantfy appre , ciated because Charlotte was the city of my na : tivity; nnd although a prisoner, in the hands of , an vu&tny. 1 felt u temporary happiness in know l ing that in an enemy's tand, had, near me, kind ' and warm-hearted friends. i m May the hearts of such never grow less, nor be touched by the torturing finger of pain.

We tender thanks to our friends Mrs Jas 1 Hutchison and Mr Lorenzo Hunter for .t present two fine Turkeys. Taxes. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago we stated that the merchants of New- berne had protested agaiDst paying the taxes, Un- posed by the State Convention, on the" ground principally, that that body had no right to levy retrospective taxes that is, liad no authority to impose taxes on business transacted previous to the establishment of the Provisional Government. For instance, the Convention Ordinance levied a tax of 2 onevervhaianfmttnn nnrchased at T . - j " a every any time during the year 1865 It appears that ii appears iimi, B F-Moore, Esq., had given an opinion against the legality of the tax act so far as its retrospec tive action was concerned. The merchants of Newberhe appealed to the President . of the United States for au opinion on the question, and the following dispatch states the result : Washington, Dec. 16. The President ap proves the decision made by the Hon. B F Moore iu a late opinion given to the Governor of the State of North Carolina, to the effect that the late State Convention had no right to impose retrospective taxes. We don't know yet how the matter will be set tled. Of course the President had no right to interfere, .but as weare still under a Provisional Government we suppose his opinion must be re spected. Stealing Cotton. Cotton stealing seems to bo the main dependence of rogues in, this section at present. About every night somebody's smoke house, or hog-pen, or chicken-house, is in vaded: but day and night cottonstealing is car ried on, and with so much boldness that it is sur prising that there are not more funerals among the roguish class. One night last week six bales of cotton were stolen from Mrs. Glenn, living 4 or G miles from town, and brought to town and deposited in a gentleman's barn (of course with out his knowledge or consent-) ' The owner of the bai-i discovered the cotton next day and gave information "to the proper authorities; but we don't know that the thief has been caught. Cun ning white men (assisted by negroes) are at tho bottom of this stealing business, and the sooner some of them are exposed and shot, tho better. The people in the country arc suffering great a nwyance. All should prepare to defend them selves and their premises. Mistaken. For several weeks past we have noticed the following paragraph going the rounds in the papers : "Mrs Col. Gaston Meares makes the following announcement in the Wilmington (N. C) Dis patch : " In cousequence of the repudiation, by the representative's of the people of North Caro lina, of their fairly and honestly contracted debts, I and my children have been made losers to the extent of ninety-four thousand dollars in bonds authorized by the Legislature of 1t?00, in favor of the Wilmington,' Charlotte & Ilutherfurd Rail road. This compels me to offer myself as an in structress in French, music oh- the piano, and singing," Jcc. Mrs Meares is certainly mistaken. The Con vention did not repudiate any bonds issued to the Wil., Char. 6c Ruth. Railroad,' or any other in ternal improvement bond. Those whohold bonds issued to that Company, or any other sort of a State or County Bond, except those issued for war purposes, have not lost them by any act of the Convention. They must ultimately bo. paid. Death of an Editor. James Fulton, Esq. the Senior Editor of-the Wilmington-Journal, died on the 14th iust., of congestive chills. Mr Fulton was a newspaper writer of much ability, and possessed that excellent quality of being a cautious and discreet Editor. lie will be recol lected by many in this section of the State as the editor of th '-Mecklenburg Jeffersonian." pub lished in this place about 18 years ago. Iu the death of Mr Fulton the town of Wilmington and the State have lost a valuable citizen. VW The following item of foreign news would indicate that there is no danger of war between France and the United States! "At the American' banquet at Paris on Thanks giving daj',' the American Minister, Mr Bigelow, expressed very pacific sentiments. Gen. Scho field proposed as a toast. ' Friendship between France and the United States.' " Small Pox. From what we see in the Wil mingtonpapers, we judge that small pox is pre vailing extensively in that city. The negroes in Jamaica who undertook an insurrection for the purpose of killing the whites, have found it a rather bad business. For the last month or two the English authorities have been hanging, shooting and whipping to death the leaders of the rebellion, and the work of punish ment still goes on. Hundreds of the negroes have been put to death. Swindlers. There are a few advertising i agencies in the Northern cities that are organized i for tho express purpose of swindling proprietors of newspapers. Wilmington Dispatch. We have no confidence in any of the Northern advertising agencies, and have steadily refused to insert the advertisements they send us unless the money accompanies the order. If Northern merchants would send their advertisements direct to publishers, it would be better for both parties. A Letter from Hon. Geo. Davis.

At the bote.ls, in tbe reading rooms, and wherever the Republican members of Congress congregated, after the adjournment of the Ilouse, the violence and fury of the old savage was deprecated. . - ,So strong was this manifestation of disappro val, that even that thoroughly lubricated politi cal weathercock, Forneyveered suddenly round to the point on the compass marked Conserva tive," and declares in the Chronicle that no par ty'can support the opinions of Stevens and live. This declaration is valuable as showing the pre sent temper of the Radicals, for had the speech of Stevens met their approval, the Chronicle would have praised it to the Bkies. Raymond, the editor of the New York Times, who is a member of the Ilouse, was exceedingly anxious to lock horns with Stevens, and prung to his feet when the latter concluded his speech; - but the politic Colfax, who is very cunning, failed to recognize him, and thus prevented an exhi bition of the fact that tbce was, discord in the ranks of his party.' The decree of Maximilian of September last having been submitted to Attorney . General Speed, that officer pronounced the opiuion that it makes the workingmen in Mexico slaves.

Mr Davis1 old clergyman of St Paul's church, in Hichaiotid, the church which he aMended during the war, and from which ho jnade that marvellously rapid exit on the last Sunday of his attendance there, has been allowed to spend a day with him. The sacrament was administered to him, and everything- dgue that could be, by his old reli gious teacher and adviser, through scriptud reading and prayer, to give him cheerful resig nation. During his imprisonment, Mr Davis' ouly religious attendant and adviser has been the Post Chaplain, lle-v Mr Chivis, a most amiable and excellent man, and worthy and de vout clergyman. It was'natural he should. like to be attended by his old pastor, and no one will be inclined, I am sure, to blame him for asking the privilege of his attendance upon him, or find fault with the request being complied with. Unsound Cotton Seed As a great deal of unsound cotton- seed will be bought and sotd this winter, a correspondent of the Baiobridge Chart and Compass, recommends the following precaution : "Count, say one hundred 'or one thousand seed, place them in rich earth, moistened witb warm water in a vessel, and place the vessel in a warm place at night and morning, and during the .day place the vessel in the sun South aspect side of a wall so that the rays of the sun may be reflected on the seed, and all the sound ones will be up in a few days and the amount of rotten seed can be determined." " A Diminutive Bkeed of Cattle. In the report of the Secretary of - the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture for 1862, Mr Flint gives the following description of the cows of Brittany, a province in the north of France, as observed by him at the International Exhibition in London : . - The little Bretagnc cows plca-ed me exceed ingly. Standing only about three feet high on their legs the most fashionable height mostly black and white, now and then, but rarely, a red and white; they are docile as kittens, and look pretty enough to become the kitchen pet of the hard pressed mountain or hillside farmer, with pastures too short for a grosser animal. Ten pounds of hay will suffice for their limited wants for twenty-four hoursrand they would evidently fill a ten quart pail as quick and as longas any okher cow. 'Those pretty cows will often hold out in milk, so the herdsmen say, from fifteen to eigh teen months after calving, and often begin with the first calf with sixor seven quarts a day. The horn is fine, not unlike the Jersey, bat smaller aud tapering off gradually, and the escutcheon or milk marks of Guenou generally very good. Good cows are held from sixty to' seventy dollars a head, a fancy price of course, b'it I am not sure that they would not pay six per cent on the investment, as well as most 'fancy stock.'
