,On pages 14 and 15 we Sod the following
questions pTopouuded and answered by the
Author :
."Question. "What is the best and only true
jemecly for the present and prospective troubles
5ow brejsrjnjr Jn the United States, between the
Vbite Jeopta afld the Negroes?
A'qswer. An absolute and eternal separation
tpf the two races
Question. How could the separation here pro
rosed be speedily and prudently effected?
Answer. Uy giving full and formal jiot.ice to
he jnegroes every ,9,ne of hein, incud;ng the
majaUocs, ,the quadroons, the octoroons, a$d all
,the other non-whites, that, aftct the 4th of July,
1876, (heir presence would be no longer required
bo'r.tolerated north of the northern boundary of
lexico, and by assisting them, to a limited ex
tent, to get somewhere (it would matter very
f ttlfi where) south of that south-moving bouo
ary. Question. Is there no other manner in which
jthe negroes, who are fast becoming a consum
mate and unbearable nuisance, miht be effectu
ally separated from that really estimable portion
of the people of the United States the white
.people who, whjle they are eminently worthy,
'are ajjo epljhjened and progressive?
' Answer. Yes. All iropure-compl-ixionable
persons, of whatever nationality, whether black
brown, whether icroes, ox Indiana, pr Chi
nese, or bi-CDl,Qred hybrids, now resident of the
jfrnited States, might (for the present at least)
ie colonized in a State or Territory by them
selves, in Texas or Arizona, for ipstance, and
here, under suitable regulations, required to
remain strictly wit hi u the lintt$ assigned them
(Question, fu any policy which we, the white
people of the United States, may be induced to
pursue toward the negroes, what should always
'be with us a controlling motive what should
(unfailingly constitute one of the great and ulti
mate ends at which we should aim?
Answer. .We should so far yield to the evi
dert desipns and purposes of Providence, as to
be both grilling and anxious to see the negroes,
.like the It.dians and alj other cCfcte'and dingy
hoed races, gradually exterminated from the face
of the whole earth."
J?rom pages 78, 79 and 80, we copy the fol
lowing.: f.' Why i Massachusetts a greater State than
.South, Carolina? Because, while Massachusetts
js inhabited chitfjy by industrious and euter-
p rising white people, South Carolioa is bur
lenea by a large and lazy commonalty of mcan-
nritcd and good for-nothing blacks. Why is
lew York a greater State than Virginia? Be
cause, while New York is white with Anglo
Saxons and Anglo-Americans, Virginia is black
.with Congo negroes and Guinea niggers. Why
is Pennsylvania a greater State than North
Carolina? Because, while Pennsylvania is
blessed with a population of heaven-descended
.and beaven-dcjt'ned Caucasians, North Carolina
.lacirjeq v;ith a tenantry of hell hatched and
Jbell doomed Ethiopians. IJow may Kentucky
become as great a State as Qhio? By waiting

pn'the earth.'

LETTER TROM GENERAL SICKXEJS
TO SENATOR WILSON.
Headquarters 2d Military District, )
Charleston, June 18, 1867.
lion. Henri Wilson, Chief Military Commit
tee, United States Senate :
My Dear Sir : It is probable, in view of
exibiiog circumstances, that congress will con
vene in. July. Jt is proper, therefore I should
inform yo that the appropriation of 500,000
to execute the reconstruction acts is altogether
inadequate. J. am informed that my estimates
for April and Jay.are less than those of other
djstrict copjgagdeis Indeed, the whole sura
was more .than , absorbed by the estimates for
May For the .Carinas at least 500,000 will
be required.
I have appjied to the navy and treasury de
partment for certain facilities, which, in view of.
the small appropriation, I persumed would be
granted, byt my requests have not been favor
ably considered. 1 understand that the secreta
ry of the navy assigned as his reason that no
aid must be expected from that department in
the execution of the reconstruction acts of con
gress. The secretary of the treasury expressed
his desire to do all he could, but did not feel at
liberty to make any disbursements for objects
not precisely within the jurisdiction of his de
partment. It is usual, I believe, when the ap
propriation for an object authorized by congress
is insufficient to make the necessary expendi
tures and to trust to a "deficiency bill," but in
the execution of these acts this course will be
impracticable, inasmuch as the principal dis
bursements are for the services of persons who
depend upon their pay for support. I have tho
honor to suggest for your consideration, and of
your colleagues as well, that tho interests
the publio service require, without delay, a fur
ther appropriation to execute the acts of con
gress for the government of the rebel States.
Very iespect fully,
D. E. Sickles, Maj. Gen. Com.

THE DUTY OP THE PEOPLE.
We sometimes hear doubts expressed as to
the duty of the Southern people in the present
crisis, and even some go so far as to counsel in
action Some are led to this course by an idea
that in taking part in the work of reconstruction
they are voluntarily accepting the dishonoring
and degardiug terms offered us; others are de
terred by a vague, undefinable, but ever pre
sent fear, that those who proposed and their
agents who conduct the reconstruction measures,
intend the Southern people no good, but are
ever setting traps to catch unsuspecting victims
in fact, that tbs whole scheme is merely
"springs to catch woodco.ck." Whether the
one or the other of these reasons, or indeed any
cause, shall prevent our people from registering,
the effect will be equally fatal to the welfare of
the State.
There can certainly be nothing dishonoring
and degrading in accepting the terms offered us
by Congress. If a choice is left to us, it is the
"deliver or die" option, which the highwaymen
gives to the unwary travelers who fall into his
power; and in purchasing life at the expense of
ih pocket-book, we could hardly be charged
with pompromising our honor or approving his
.conduct, nor sre we estopped from bringing him
ultimately to justice.
Nor on the other hand, when the District
Commander has specified definitely and distinct
ly who can register, whether be acts under in
structions from Washinston or upoo his own
opinion, can there possibly be any danger in
following the direction laid down. In such a
course there cannot be unknown troubles or
masked batteries.
There cannot be one good reason urged against
registration, and many, nay, the most vital, rea
sons exist why all should do so. By registering
the right to vote will be secured whether it is
exercised or not, and the power to control events
will be retained, for as we have often endfavored
to impress upon our readt-rs that after all prob
able or possible disfranchisement under the Re
construction acts arc made; the whites in the
State will command a large majority, which the
Radicals cannot overcome, except in a few local
ities And then, if it is not desired or thought
politic to exercise the light of suffrage at pre
sent, the weightiest moral obligations toYhe
State and - posterity may hereafter demand its
exercise, and the neglect to register now will
prevent the right to vote in the future.
Those who have the right to register and vote
owe a duty to those who are denied the privi
leges of a free citizen merely for having been
true to North Carolina in the past a duty they
must perform with zeal and jealous care, or the
injustice of the acts of Congress will also dis
grace the statutes of our State and those
whose only shortcomings have been a virtuous
and worthy defence of their State will become
the innocent victims of its perverted and mcli
pious government.
lJy prompt action, also, will the design to
pLoj tbo political power of the State the
power to tax and dispose of the revenue and to
disfranchise in the hands of the few Radicals
and their misguided toqls, the negroes, be pre
vented. The fate of IV est Virginia, where a
profligate minority, by aid of test oaths and pun
ishments, is driving from its borders tho worth
and intelligence of its population, and of Ten
nessee, where a wicked and tyrannical Governor
places the lives and property of its citizens at
the niercy of tjyenty thousand armed and organ
ised tipops, will be 6aved to Honh Carolina, if
the peoplp will come forward and prpsaptly dis
charge the duty imposed upon them. AH minor
considerations must be cast aside, and when the
time arrives our people must address themselves
with one accord to the great work of saving the
State. il-Riington Journal.

The Statesville American, in alluding to
the crops, says : j
The wheat harvest is now going on in this
portion of the State, and we are rleased to learn
that the prospect for a Jarge yield was never
betterthe wheat-heads are large, well filled
and heavy. The corn prospect is likewise pro
mising. RafTier too much ' rain for bottom
lands, but upland crops are doiog well. Oats
never better, and the same may be said of Irish
potatoes and all garden vegetables. The berry
crop will be large. Cherries are very abundant,
peaeh crop promising, apples not so good.
We hear the most favorable reports of a large
wheat crop in all parts of the country.
The Salisbury North State,
in alluding
to the way to raise wheat illustrates it by the
following facts :
On the outskirts of Salisbury is a piece of
land containing five acres, belonging to Mr
Thomas E. Rrown. After gathering a good
crop of corn and peas off this lot late last fall,
Mr Rrown broke it up deep with a two-horse
plow and then harrowed it. Upon the five
acres thus prepared, be sowed five bushels of
Baltimore white wheat, ploughing it in with a
shovel plow and afterwards using the harrow.
The wheat has just been cut, and turned out
two hundred and fifty-five largo shocks which
will yield at leat one hundred bushels, and
probably a good deal more.
What is the secret of this success? A free
use ot stable manures, and thorough cultivation,
including deep ploughing.
JK5y The Goldsboro Star says :
Jt is worthy of remark, that Neuse river has
been lour times swollen, already, the present
Spring and Summer; and the 'freshet" which
now prevails, is said to be the largest for many
years. The water, yebterday, lacked only 24
inches of reaching the floor of the railroad bridge

State of North Carolina,
Executive Department, Raleigh, June 22 j
Editors Sentinel : The General Assembly,
on the 1st of March 1S157, passed a resolution
in the following words viz:
That in all cases when a soldier in the Con
federate or State service has had a leg or arm so
paralyzed from wounds received while in the
service, that the leg or arm has become useless,
although it may not have been necessary to am
putate the same, that in all such cases, when
the Governor is satisfied that tho leg or arm of
the person above described really is useless, that
the Governor shall order the Treasurer to pay
to such invalid the sum of seventy dollars as
com mutation for the loss of the leg, and fifty
dollars for the art1-"
To enable the disabled men, intended to be
provided for under this resolution, to get the
benefit of the same, without coming to Raleigh
for personal inspection, I sent a copy of the res
olution to eaoh of the elerks of the county Courts,
and thought I would sufficiently protect the
Treasury in giving my warrant on the Treas
urer, upon the certificate of the clerk of the
County in which the applicant resided, that he
fell within the provisions of the resolution.
Printed blank certificates were prepared and
sent to the clerks which adopted the words of
the resolution. After several applicants had
sent in their certificates and drawn the money,
I found that many benevolent clerks construed
the word "useless" as synonymous with "im
paired;" and some drew money, when the in
jury very slightly impaired the limb. felt it
my duty to revoke the rule of paying upon the
certificates of the clerks, and to reouire all ap
plicants to come here in person. I construe the
words "paralyzed" and "useless" at they are
defined by Webster and other approved lexico
graphers I publish this construction to save parties the
trouble of making application in cases where the
law, as I construe it, docs not authorize me to
do anything for them. Editors of newspapers

met with instances in whioh a word heedlessly
spoken against the reputation of a female has

not necessarily from bad motives, but from
thoughtlessness, to jpeak lightly of Indies, we
recommend these 'hints as worthy of conside
ration :
Never use a lady's name at an improper time,
or in mixed company. Never make assertions
about her that you think untrue, or allusions
that you feel she herself would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do not scrnple
to use a woman's name in a reckless and un
principled manner, shun them, for they are the
worst members of a community -men lost to
every sense of honor, every feeling of humanity.
Many a good woman's character has been for

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washisotos. June 25. During the Presi
dent's sDeech at Boston, which was confined to
thaoks to the people for courtesies to him as a
citizen and as chief magistrate, three cheers for
Congress were called for from the outskirts of
the audience. They were not given. During
Mr Seward's speech three cheers for North
CaroUoa were proposed. Whereupon Mr Se
ward said "you may well give threo cheers for
the State of North Carolina. She was the first
State to put forth a declaration ot independence
in the revolution against Great Rritaio. You
may well give three cheers for North Carolioa.
She was the State of the eleven that seceded
that went last and most reluctantly out ot the
Union You may well give three cheers for
North Carolioa. She was the first of the eleven
that seceded to come back again to the family
fire-side oftheUuion, andto-day nothing is
wanting for her to resume her ancient, honor
able and most patriotic position in the family of
the Republic, but the consent of the people of
Massachusetts. Now I know that ail that is
coming about very soon. I have seen the earth
and skies full of the elements of fertility, of
health, and of vigor, and I saw in North Caro
lina the cotton springing up which is to supply
next year the mills of Massachusetts. I have
seen in New York the wheat, growing that is to
supply the West Indies and the Southern States.
I know that nature designs that the whole con
tinent, not merely these thirty-six States, but
the whole continent shall be, sooner or later,
within the magic circle of the American Union.
The Louisiana levee question is attracting
great attention, and it is confidently stated that
a special Committee will be appointed by the
next Congress to investigate-atl matters connec
ted therewith, including means used last ses
sion to-secure the passage of the bill whereby
the government endorsed the levee bonds.
It is stated that Senator Sherman in a recent
dispatch says be will attend Coogress if business
requires it. He sees nothing yet to warrant the
extra session. Difficulty is apprehended in get
ting two thirds. Among those who. cannot, o.r
will not attend are two from California, one from
Connecticut, two from Delaware, two from Ken
tucky, one from Maine, two from Maryland, one
from Nevada, one from Ohio, two from Oregon,
one from Pennsylvania, one from Rhode Island,
one from Tennessee, one from West Virginia,
one from Wisconsin, one from Vermont. Sen
ator Morton of Indiana will probably be ucable
to attend. These estimates show three votes
short of two-thirds, necessary to defeat a vote.
The Court was occupied to-day in hearing the

us by a friend who was present at the feed men's

the following seasonable rules for young men
commencing busiuess :
The world estimates men by their success in
life and, by general consent, success is evidence
ojperiority.
Kever, under any circumstances, assume a res
ponsibility you can avoid consistently with your
duty to yourself and others.
Base all your actions upon a principle of right
preserve your integrity of character, and, indoio
this, never reckon the cost.
Remember that self interest is nore l&er
warp your judgment than all other cwouihuq.
ces combined; therefore, look well to your dutv
when your interest is concerned. . Never taiS-l
money at the expense of your reputation.
Be neither lavish or niggardly, oftbe tvo
avoid the latter. A mean man ii universally dev
pised. but public favor is a stepping stone to pre
ferment -therefore generous feelings shoulh
cultivated. v
Say but little think much and d raor
Letjojir expenses be such as to leave MvlUnci
in your pocket. Ready moncv is a frnd ia
need.
Keep clear of die law; for even jf you gajo or
case, you are generally looser of money.
Avoid borrowing aud lending.
Wine drinking and smoking are bad habits
They impair the mind and pocket, aad lead ta a
waste of time.
Never relate your misfortynes, and never grieys
over what jou cannot prevent.
