The course of the South since the memorable surrender at Appomattox has been a subject of .complimentary remark.' No sooner had she failed in accomplishing the purpose she de signed, than, admitting her defeat, she at once set to work to comply in earnest with the terms presented by her conquerors. Her army was at once broken up, and the public roads be came thronged with Southern soldiers returning to their homes, confessing tbeir defeat, and bent upon turning their attention to the renovation of their fortunes and material interests. They have borne the loss of their slave property like jaen acquiescing in an inevitability; and have .manifested a determination to secure for the freed men all that the altered relations make necessary. With them they are to live, and as we have said often, their interests being identi cal, it is the part of wisdom to realize that their well being is the same, and their prosperity is eo inseparably united as to make it to the inter est of each to promote the common welfare. Any teaching which runs counter to this, we hold to be erroneous, and those who inculcate the idea of a conflict of interests, are the real enemies of both raoes. If the white and black man are to live together, as they are for some time to come, it is preposterous to preach to the latter that the way to their mutual prosperity and happiness is by different roads. A coteui porary remarks in substance, that the time is not far distant when the South will send twenty Senators to Congress and between eighty and ninety Representatives. The interests of the races 'beiug identical, their general views and policy will harmonize beyond a question, par ticularly in view of the Fensible and sagacious conduct exhibited by leading men of the South." So long as we remain unrepresented in Con gress, without any voice whatever in the direc tion of governmental policy, and are governed by a military regime, we are simply in the con dition of subjects. In such a condition, so un represented State and a subjugated people with no rights which can be urged successfully, we cannot hope to attract capital and enterprise to our borders, by which alone our material re sources arc to be developed. So long as we remain unrepresented, we shall be deprived of exerting any action a3 a people which contem plates such a development; for in a condition where there is social and political uncertainty, men will be content simply with providing for their prrsent and immediate wants, without look ing further into the future. Gov. Worth and Jejff. Davis The Washington correspondents say that Governor Worth, of 2v'orth Carolina, has written in a letter in reply to a request that he juin in the effort to secure a pardon for Jeff Davis that as be does not k now the reasons which cause Mr Davis to refuse to apply for pardon, he will not urge him to do so, but he has no hesitation in declaring that good policy and humanity alike justify and require the granting of pardon to Mr Pa vis.- Jialdgh J'rogrcss. TnE Indian War. Tha new Indian war seems to get exciting, and bids fair to be of'6ome proportions. We are beginning to set returns from Custer's cavalry campaign. So far three hundred men, with their horses and outfits, are faid to have deserted. This will do pretty well to 6tart with, especially considering that this .disappearance has all taken place within a month, and the whole force was only from 1,600 to 2,000 strong. If one cavalryman in every five deserts in one month's campaign, easy arith metic will show how many month3 jt will re quire to dispose of the whole column. At our Jatest advices, General Sherman was on his way to the seat of hostilities, aud we may daily look for sharp and decisive action. Dxpressiqs jn Texas.

Brutal Murder; Oo Thursday laat, one of the most atrocious murders was committed in Lenoir county that has ever been perpetrated ia a civilized community. On that day, a party of eight or ten negroes went to the house of Mr J. T. Miller, "and finding Mrs. Miller in the loom room, adjoining the kitcbeo, ordered her to go into the house, which she refused to do, ! irinnnn hfi wa3 shot in the head bv one of ! the part?, and instantly killed, loey men went CTUVaV.VBfV- - intn q fioU where Mr Miller was plouerbinz. and bound him with the plough lines, took him to the house to see the dead body of his wife, and then carried him into the woods, a distance of about half a mile, and hung him to a tree, where his body was found the next day.' No cause is assigned for this diabolical deed. Mrs Miller leaves seven children, one at the breast. Golds boro News, 11th. A Legal Amalgamation. In the U. S.

A Cock Fight A main of cocks was fought at Weldon last week, representing the Counties of Wrarren and Nash. The stakes were 50 a fijht, and 81,000 the odd. " The first day one battle was fought, which was won by Warren. On the second day seven fiihts were had, of which Warren won three and Nash four. The third day each party won three fights, making the main a drawn one, twenty-one cocks having been produced by each party, and fourteen matches made and fought. Sentenced. Loander A. Todd, convicted in the circuit court of the United States of robbing the mails at HuntsvilJe, Yadkin couuty, was sen tenced to three years imprisonment. To what penitentiary he will be sent is not decided. The fate of this young man f-hould be a warning to all who read it. The law is severe against vio lation of the mails and there is evidently a de termination to apply it fully against all offenders. THE PEABODY EDUCATION FUND. Circular of the General Agent. 1. The direct aim. of the Agent will be to en courage aud aid common schools iu the South; that is, schools established, supported and super intended by the Southern people themselves. Apart from this leading object, the founding and maintenance of schools will not come within his plans. L. Usually, appropriations in moderate amounts will be made where such schools are languishing, or are liable to bo suspended . for want of the means of support. Similar aid, if necessary, will be given in places unsupplied with schools, whenever the citizens shall introduce them, and undertake their support. All such aid, how ever, is to be regarded as temporary. 3. In selecting schools to be aided, or places to be supplied with them, those will be pre ferred in which the destitution is greatest, and the number to be benefitted largest. 4. Normal schools, or schools, having normal departments, will receive particular attention. A small number of these, furnishing the most perfect models of instruction, will be considered as more important than a larger number of an inferior character. Here, also, it is the purpose of the Agent to aid others in their work, and not to assume the support of such schools. 5. Funds will not be given to literary or pro fessional schools as such. Special arrangements may sometimes be made with these, for the pur pose of encouraging the industrial arts, or for the education of teachers. . ... 6 The Agent will not identify his efforts with those of any other organization by placing fund 3 at the di.-posal of its managers;. but, in any connection he m-ty hold with benevolent or religious societies, he will pursue his own specific object by such means aud appliances as he shall select. 7. At present there will be no agencies, ex cept a few, in which the services rendered will be gratuitous. 8. The Agent will not, except in a few special exceptional cases, have occasion to employ teachers, lie can, therefore, aid such in ob taining places, only by giving their names to School Committees. B SEARS, General Agent. Legal Advice. An old barrister was giving advice to his son, who was just cnteiingiipon the practice of his profession : "My son," said tho counselor, "if yon have a case where the law is clearly on your side, but justice seems to be cleat ly against you, urge upon the jury the vaU impor tance of sustaining the law. If, on the other hand, you are in doubt about the law, but your client's case is founded on justice, init on doiw in justice, though the heavens fall " "Lut," asked the son, "how shall I manage a case where Loth law and justice are dead against nieP "In that case," replied the old man, "talk round u " MortMos Intolerance.

The New.York San sounds an alarm over the introduction among us of the noiseless air-gun,' which, in a murderer's hand, is capable of doing its work in the dark, without detection as wit ness the recent murder by that mean in Brook lyn. The Editor says : "In this citv and Brooklyn there is an aver age of nearly one murder every day, although J evcrv terson who commits that crime must . ft know that tne lawtur pcoauy ia aimusi, sure 10 follow. But what would be tbe consequence if robbery and revenge were assured that murder could be accomplished without danger of pun ishment to the murderer? It seems providen tial that all the time and ingenuity which have been expended in attempts to produce weaoons lor tnat purposes nave iaiiea to discover a sale instrument of murder. Weapons have been made which approaches this object, but none btve been successful. The sandbludgeon, which, some years ego was so extensively used for mur derous purposes in Europe, and to some extent in this country, is a very dangerous weapon. A blow upon the head with this instrument pro duces almost instant death, and yet no contusion or other external marks of violence is seen. The air-gun, although not invented for the use of the assassin, is also a fearful weapon, as the recent murder in Brooklyn, by such agency, recent dearly proves. If this invention was brought IO pciiCVklUU, BU H3 tU UiCtUaijC U UUIIC1 TTtHIUUkl any report, the consequence would be alarming. Fortunately it is not perfect. Although it. emits comparatively little sound when being dis charged, that little is sufficient to guard against its extensive use. Hundreds of contnvauces have been made for the purpose of taking life and baffling detection, and probably efforts to that end are still made." MEXICAN NEWS. Mexican dates to the 2d instant have been received. When Maximilian gave up the sword to Escobado, he 6aid, "I surrender to you my sword, owing to an infamous treason, without which to-morrow's sun would have seen you in my hands." Escobado ordered a Court Martial on the 29th ult , for the trial of the Emperor Maximilian. The following are the number of offceers sur rendered : The Emperor, 14 Generals, 18 Colo nels, 15 . Lieut. Coiouels, 16 Brevt. Lieut. Colo nels, 36 Majors, 114 Captains, 116 Lieutenants, and 180 Second Lieutenants -Total 437. The following is Maximilian's proclamation: Countrymen : After the valor and patriot ism of the Republican forces have destroyed my J scepter in tuis place, wntcn tenacious aeiense was indispensable to save the honor of my cause and of my race; after the bloody siege in which the Imperial and Republican soldiers have com peted in abnegatioo and boldness, I will explain myself. I came to Mexico not only animated with the best of faith insuring the felicity of all aud each of us, but called and protected by the Emperor of France, Napoleon the III. He, to the ridicule of France, abandoned me cowardly and infamously by demand of the United States, after having uselessly spent forces and treasure and shed the blood of her sons and your own. When the news of my fall and death reaches Europe, all the monarchs of Charlemagne's country will demand ot the Napoleon dynasty an account of my blood, of- the German, Belgian and Fiench blood shed iu Mexico. There will be the end. Soon, before the whole world, Napoleon III will be covered with shame from head to foot. To-day, he has already seen his majesty, the Emperor of Austria, my august brother, pray ing for my life to the U. S., and myself a pris oner in the hands of a republican government, and with my bead and my crown torn in pieces. Countrymen: Here are my last words: I desire that my blood may regenerate Mexico and serve as a warning to all ambitious and incau tious men, and that you will act with prudence and truthfulness, and ennoble, with your virtues the political course of the flag you sustain. May Providence save you, and make you worthy of myself. Signed Maximilian. STORM SIGNALS DURING HARVEST. The storm which passed over this city on the 2d instant, it is ascertained, eommeuced near the line of North Carolina on the 1st, anl traveling north about twenty miles an hour, it swept across Virginia and Maryland and far into Penn sylvania. It is easy to see that a general learn ing of the Approach of this and all similar storms could be given several hours in advance by means of the telegraph and cannon. This storm was quite heavy, but did not last as long or extend as far as many that occur du ring harvest; and yet, if it had come on in the midst of harvest, with large quantities of grain or hay cut down, the damage would have been very great, amounting to millions of dollars, most of which could be saved at a, trifling cost, Ly the adoption 'of the following simple plan, which is offered for the consideration of the farmer, the press and the public generally : When a Ftorm commences in any part of the country, and is traveling in a certain direction, Vie firt telegraph station over which it passes is to send the news immediately to all the tele graph stations at county "scats scores or hundreds of miles in advance; according to the supposed dist ance that the storm mav travel. At each county seat a cannon is to be kept ready by the officials at the court house, and as soon as the news is received of a coining storm, it is to be tired three time?,-at intervals of one minute if a hurricane is approaching, at intervals of three minutes if the storm is traveling rapidly, and at intervals of six minutes if it is traveling slowly. - j As a good sized cannon can be hard distinct- 1 frnT fiflee" to "y rnijes m. all direction,, or over a space or irom tiurty to forty miles pl,mre l'f trmg-one at each county seat, the i farmers' for ij u no reus of miles over the WhoU country would be warned in time to . - - vv get . tneir irrain rr xv urwtor ftwfr nf in " c h..K nn -j . . . , . ... on.uuuu a Situation tO I r".

SUFFEBINQ IN SOUTH CAROLINA: s - ' A Touching Narrative. - " The following extmefs ate made from a letter from a South Carolina'lady, " which appears iu the New York Evening Post of -last weekv Those who were in the South during the war do ot need to be told that the scene of suffering, self denial, and patient courage so vividly de- scribed by "Violet", was and is the daily expe- women: s. C, May 15, 1867. With us it waa two years before the actual pressure of want was felt. We had twenty-six sou)3 to support, besides our own family, and the time at length came when we had absolutely do provisions left. Before this we had left our beautiful home, and had come l to a place appropriately named "Hark Corner." Here the inhabitants looked upon us as aristocrats, with suspicious and dis tant demeanor. . - And the day eame, finally, that we had not corn for the morrow. We had no money but the Confederate, and this had fallen 50 low that . provisions could with great difficulty be bought with it at any price. . My little brother.", clung around me, and fol lowed my every footstep as I walked musing up and down the piazza; yet they were silent. An impression of grief and terror weighed even up on their childish minds. I could see through the window that my father sat still at the table, his head bowed upon his bands.. . For myself, I felt but little fear. My con science did not reproach me that in the days of my prosperity I had forgotten my God, or aban doned my duty. I felt that He who feedeth the ravens would not forget us and I was calm. I heard a gentleman passing alone the street say to another, "He is exchanging salt for gold and silver." Without hesitating one instant, without wait ing to put on my bonnet, I ran down the gar den walk to the gate which they were passing. They were strangers to me, but I called after them. They iustantly turned back. I saw at one glance that they were gentlemen. "Ex cuse me," I faltered, "but I heard you say that some one will give salt for gold and silver. We can get provisions for salt; we have none in the house." ,. "We are very much pleased to be of service to a lady," replied one of the gentlemen, taking off his hat;- "there is an agent here from Char leston, who is bartering salt and rice for gold watches and silver plate. He sends these ar ticles through the blockade, in lieu of money." We traversed a few squares almost in silence, and came to the office ot the agsnt. It was filled with men. Some of them I was acquaint ed with. They knew who I was. Oh ! how mycbeeks burned; but I went on. The agent directed me into a more private room. The two gentlemen who had constituted themselves my protectors accompanied me. There were some countrymen sitting around the room. One gave me a scat. All were staring at me. The agent came in and I told him that I had gold and silver to exchange for provisions. He looked at me with some astonishment I sup pose to see so young a lady venture there. I unfastened from my side an elegant gold watch, for which my father had given one hundred and seventy-five dollars. "What is it worth?" I said. He examined it and replied: "We will give you a thousand dollars, in salt and pro visions. "I will take it," I answered. But rice was a dollar a pound, salt thirty dollars a bushel, corn ten dollars a bushel I selected twenty bushels of salt, because salt was then a popular currency. This came to &ix hundred dollars. Oue hun dred pounds of rice came to another hundred dollars. Plour, corn and meat, in very mode rate quantity for so many, persons took up all the thousand dollars. "llow long will you remain here?" I asked "But a few days; we opened yesterday, and will soon go on farther." "I will part with some silver, also, then," I continued. I sent home my eldest brother, and he soon returned with three dozen silver, spoons and a silver ladle. For, these I received an order on some stores, not yet arrived, for twelve hundred dollars more, in provisions. . .-. But though these sums may sound very large, the whole amount did not embrace more than three months' provisions for the 31 peisons for whom I was accustomed to provide, except in the article of salt. I knew this, and thought of it, even on the way home. Finally I made a compact with the servants that we should continue to provide them houses, and to pay expenses of sickness, should such occur, and that they should, on these conditions, try to support themselves and their own fami lies. Three servants remained about us, and these seemed to mo an astonishingly small number. Our household seemed very small and our ex penses much diminished. At length our supplies were again exhausted again I walked the piazza, and considered that we had not another meal in the house. . Confederate mouev could no longer purchase provisions at all. The country people had ceased to bring any to market. And again Providence opeced to us a source of supply. A country woman stopped at the gate, with a half bushel of potatoes, and a pair of squirrels. These she offered for some gunpowder. I had some,and I eagerly made the exchange., Duriiig the Summer after the surrender we had absolutely no means of subsistence but by telling the salt which remained, and our cloth ing. . ' - , .. .- ---. - -- '; The first thing which went were my poor mother's stock of babv clothing. M v father wept when he avr me compelled to part with them.

Many kept their households from starvation in the same manner. Stalwart brothers, husbands and sous were thus supported by their female relations. Bracelet, jewels and silrer could no longer 'be sold, but clothing was still purchased, for some successful business men contrived, I know not how, to carry on their form ?work. Some per sons obtained work on the railroads, and thus some little money was placed in circulation. But many farms- lay waste and uncultivated. The corn which would feed a horse would feed a family, and the only struggle was to escape star vation.- : - :; ! A 11 that year we lived by exchanging for pro visions such articles of clothiogas we could spare. And, happily for us, our stock before the war bad been very large. It came to be the case that Winter, that my brothers could no longer attend church or school for the want of. clothing and shoesthough I had never parted with anything of theirs; but they wore out their clothes so much faster than my father or I. We had before 'that time found out that we could remain at home for want of clothing, and yet not suffer as the want of food would cause us to suffer. . My father had become so dispirited, and often weak from actual want of delicate food, that I could not persuade him to make any exertion. I struggled hard to provide food enough to keep us from starving; to teach the children and to read to them on Sundays, as they could no lon ger attend church. I could not cease .to.. strive for these children while breath and life were left me. I could have given French lessons and music lessons, but I could find no one able to pay for them. In the Summer we obtained leave to oc cupy a deserted farm house. It had often seemed to me that if we wereonlvon a farm some of our troubles would be over. But, alas! the land lay waste; much of it was grown, up in briars. The garden was filled with tall weeds. Yet my heart did not sink. I paid a clock to a freed man, who had a horse and was cultivating a few acres near us, to plant the whole garden in turnips. I paid a large oven and cake-pan (use less to us now) for a bushel and a half of. pota toes. I gave a mahogany press for a flitch of bacon. I gave an elegant work-table for some homespun for the children, and having a home rent free, we began to feel a little more prosper ous. Very soon, before I. could have expected it (for it was my first experience in farming,) the turnips came in. Then our fare consisted of turnips in abundance, and some corn bread. "When Spring came on, we had abundance of greens. Some times I have been able to exchange remnauts of better days" for bacon and corn. Then all but myself had abundance, for they had become ac customed to such fare. I think it is owing to the turnips and greens that so few cases of actual death from starvation have occurred. Sometimes I think that my strength is at length failing. Sometimes I observe that my father looks at me with tears in his eyes. All this time I have been the one to sustain and sup port the rest. Now the tenderness of each seems redoubled toward me, as though they truly fear that I am fading from before their eves. Yet I do not say this the words are not spoken. Iseek still to bear up; I seldom give way. Violet. Arrest and Escape A young man who gave his name as John W.
