Dockery maintains that th4 President sh'6'uld buy op bonds with it, paying a bonus of one fourth tJ the Northern bondholders. He is what Pan Russell calls a South ern maii with Northern principles.

His subject was the character and motives ! of the parties' engaged in the (rials I and judicial proceedings mentioned iq the Gospels and the Acts. The New Yik lifpes' repoit says : "Tbe views presented attracted marked in tention and approbation," which is not surpiising to those who are; fa miliar, as all North Carolinians ought to be, with Dr. Battle's learning and singular felicity in the handling; of amy subject he takes up, whether e& ered or profane.

The deception Bought to bo prac tised oh the peoplo by the Republi can Party in its Chicago platform.

Deceit and insincerity are al ways fpuud out. The tricks of ;the Radical party are very contemptible. We beg our Republican newspaper, brethren not to forget to print the Republican tax bill, if their party, in the Senate Bhall have the neive and courage to bring in one. Their party in the House did not have the nerve and courage to have a bill. ' The Winston Republican, in com menting on Brower's voting for the Mills bill, which repeals the tobacco tax arid contains provitioDs wiping out tbe most odious features of the internal revenue system, clearly shows the cloven foot, and puts up protec tion of the Northern manufacturers as of more importance than relieving pur home people of their burdens and op pressions.'

S Cavalry. j The troop to which I bad been assigned to duty was then lying at Camp Sweet, near Raleigh, N. C , to which spot I speedily re paired.; " The streets fairly s warmed with idle and dissolaUi negroes of both seles, the appearauce of a .majority of the population of the o ty being anything but inviting, Ot tbe while iesidents seen upon ihe: public thoroughfare the greater proportion belonged ' to that class in tho South known as "trash A. hungry looking, haggard crowd,; Sallow-jcomplexioned women, jaundiced meD, and children general ly in rags, n Occitsionally one would meet with a seedy bid gentleman who had seen better days, usually being supported on either side by a woman iu faded apparel, which; latter, I ke her refined manners, at. once plainly indicated that the vicissitudes of war had alone reduced her to want. For the relief of such as these a generous govern ment had established in Raleigh a Relief Committee with a depot of supplies at Camp Russell in the east ern part of the city. The negroes were not permitted to draw "desti tute rations" for themselves, at the Camp Russell depot. There, how ever, was quite a number of. colored servants present on ration day draw ing fori their masters and mistresees who were either too lazy or too proud to come in person into our camp. . OgMlkoaiTy DNAVI'BECIATED I was frequently told by a certain class of whites, more particularly the female 'portion of the latter, that they were by right entitled to private support from the government during ihe remainder of their lives. It, in fact, appeared with them to be a filed idea that the loss of their "niggers" by emancipation entitled them to de mand support j without teing cal'ed upou themselves to work for a liv ing. The very worst people I had to deal wijh were those who had form erly ohed slaves, and who, despising lab'jr, would not work if they could It was a hard matter for me to avoid becoming angry at the slurring remarks, daily passed by these aristo crat c mendicants when issuing to them the salt fish and hard tack con stituting the "destitute ration," with tea and sugar for the s.ck or those in valided. I was a score of t wea re ported to General Carr for refufsitrg to issue, articles beyond what the re lief ticket called for. Many of the inhabitants of vorth Caroliua, living in the vicinity of Raleigh, appeared to f el thai they had a sacred right to prey upo' the government and in their ovn way re imburse! themselves for the loss of the r slaves. ! . I j AUMTwCRAUO BKJUAt8. f i 80 mft rious was their rapacity that in several instances 1 have known of parties! owning houses aud planta tions from which they were receiving au income in the shape of rents, wLu unblushingly appeared at the relief depot and authoritatively demanded to be supplied with rations. It cOUJd hardly be expected that men who had served in our army and who knew Of the horrors of Salis bury and. other Southern prisons could display any very great cyrup:$ thy for a peoFu who, 4s aiitsgid, boasted that they bad duue their best to break up the Union anl waul now do their best to eat it up ! It was a bitter pill to swallow, but as it is always the first duty of a soldier to bey, I performed my share of work witn the best possible grace and doled out the rations exactly as di reeled by my superiors- MESDACIOOS MI.NEBTIBS. Notwithstanding these wise pre cautions, I was astounded to hnd clergymen solemnly attesting to the destitution exis iug in ; families posi tive! v known by them to possess wealth, and who, later, upon receiving j rations, sold the 'lattcror otherwise i tendered them in payment for ser- j viols rendered by white or colored servants. Then, too, I have kuown instances wheie devout and sane 1 monious clergymen in: Raleigh un hesitatingly signed certificates attest ing the destitution of fictitious fami lies, which latter fact well nigh caused me to become an infidel. Of the white male population in Raleigh I can say but little, and that little is not at all flattering to their general character. A more ignorant and shiftless set of individuals cou.'d not well be met with anywhere. Their principal occupation seemed to be confined to loafing a boat in the pub lic ; streets or tilling up ou corn whisk, after which laudable pro ceeding they would roftin about town boasting of tbe fac-. that they were "a d a s ghi bigger rtbols now than during the war," and weie extremely desirous of having "one more go at the -durned Yanks." A WELL DE8EUVED . : For A t.imo the poldie vAi,at.ontJ at Raleigh stood the insults of these blatherskites without attempting to in any way retalia Ae-day, how ever;, patience cease LiTlC with them a virtue, and our entire troop of cav alry, acting upon their own responsi bility, charged through the city armed with carbines and revolvers and soon the streets were cleared of every one of the drunken boasters, who-incontinently took to flight upon hearing of our approach m Wheu I first arrived in Raleigh I found business dull, the money in the city .being apparently wholly exhaus ted. ; The few Southern merchants doing business there lacking credit with Northern firms had, to all ap pearances, abandoned the struggle to obtiin a livelihood and for the most part were to be found, sitting idly before their s ore doors lazily puffing at their corn cob pipep, or otherwise engaged in skilfully directing a stream of tobacco juicejn the direc tion of some unsuspecting fly indus triously engaged in lubricating his joints on the sidewalk tear by. It was some time before I couid accQstom myself to the disagreeable odor that at all times accompanied their, (the negroes') presence in my room. As a matter of fact, I always when practicable, endeavored to have what meals I ordered while on the road prepared by white women. Whether or not I benefited by this preference shown to one of my own color is extremely doubtful, as the poor whites in the South were little, if, indeed, any more cleanly in their habits than negroes. THE CLAT EATER. Speaking of poor whites leads me to remark that there could not be found a more degraded class of - peo ple anywhere in the world. In fact they were hardly above beasts in their habits. The men were: essentially lazy and drunken in their habits, for ever consuming immense quantities of tobacco in smoking and chewing, and content to live by begging or pilfering, usually ecu riving to be sent to lad as a last resort when star ving. The women were Sallow com plexioned, awkward in iheir move ments and . notoriously dirty. Both sexes we e styled clay eaters from a habit .hey had formed of partaking as food pf a sp cies of clay that ap peared to possess certain nutritive qualities. This clay was readily ob tainable and its preparation in thin rolls before eating did not involve the performance of tue labor of making a fire and cooking a meal The wo men, as, in fact, was tbe case in nearly all classes of female society in the State, both smoked aud chewed t -bacco, besides dipping snuff Always thinly clad, a majority of the female clay eaters weut aime$sly about, having no fixed habitation, slatternly in appearance and destitute of al idea of Gcd aud virtue. J never be fore iu my life encountered a more ignorant and superstitious class of human beings. On the Other hand the negro of both sexes in part emulating tbe ex ample of thair masters and mistresses endeavored to at least appear as though possessing some intelligence and refinement. Many of their ef forts in this direction were howevei decidedly startling besides being lu dicrous in the extreme. It was not an uncommon sight to behold a stal wart negro clothed in rags sporting a tall hat and wi h the stump of i cigar in bis mouth pe; ambulating the streets, swaggering about or nimbly avoiding the frequent kicks made at him by incensed white men. who be lieved him to be making game of them. " " Morality in the conquered States stood away below par and I was in expressibly shocked to find suoh ' an utter lack of virtue among both whites and blacks as I witnessed duiing my stay in North Carolina and other por tions of ihe South This deplorable condition of soci ety cannot bo ascribed to any cause other than slavery. Bigamy was openly prac ised by whites aud blacks of both sexes, and I have known in stances where for a trifling consider at ion men have parted with their wives and women with their hus bands. As a eoldier I had but little time afforded me to attend Divine Worship. As a matter of fact I do cot now remember ever having seen a church while in Raleigh, : although fn quently engaged in patrolling the entire town while on duty. The lit tle white bu lding close to the capi tol, which I had mistakenly imagined to be a school house, I have since been fissured was a Catholic chapel, although 'Used as such upouj rare 00 casiona only, own g to iho ifact that no clergyman of ibut fa.ih was for years i permanently stationed in' the city, j THE HATID VAKKEE bCHooLtlABMS. , From 'turn fact it will Le rightly inferred by the reader that the life led Ivy a sehoolmistrebs in tbe Old North State wa an) thing but a pleasant one. I was not long in Fajetle ville before being tnde aware tf the fact that a "darned red-headed Yankee school uiarni", was in town and had succeed ed in turning the heads of 1 half tho niggers ooncernmK tne"tu rights bill. Great hoiking fellows, wish in sipidity indelibly stamped on their 1 countenances, indecision in Step and inefficiency in their entire make-up, j were found by me huddled together in groups about the market tpace, -loudly advocating the destruction of : the school-house and ihe summary 1 ordering out of the city of the obnox- , ious Yankee schoolmistress. The latter was found by me domi- j oiled in a negro ehsnty, the best room i in which was a sort of loft overhead, in which t he lady slept, no other place ; of abode Leing afforded l.er owing to the prejud ce entertained bv wbitt: iesidents toward Yankees iu general, and Massachusetts people in particu lar. Although daily and even hourly menaced upon all sides, her every effort being thwarted by ignorant and vindictive white?, she nevertheless assured me of her in ention to remain in Fayetteville despite all opposition, and to continue teaching, even though she might, as was oncj the case in Ireland, be compelled to assemble her las8 for instruction behind a hedge. I inquired of ber whether she knew anything concerning the use of a revolver, at the same time tender ing her as a present a Smith & Wes son of the smaller pattern. I was surprised and later amused to ob serve the unmistakable terror ex h b ited by the lady us she, in trembling tonep, begged me to at once return the pistol to my blouse pocket as it might go off and besides she would not for the world have such a thing as a regplver in her room as she would buuab'.e to sleep a wink if fche knew it was loaded. Neverthe less she seemed to possess sufficient courage to defy the threatened vio lence of the'white residents of Fay etteville. Womankind in general would appear to entertain most ab surd whims in matters relating to of fense and defence and the schoolmis tress was no exception to the general run of her sex. Canntir Government. Cor. of tile News ami Observer. I Bee from tbe papers that Dockery, the mouthpiece of the Radical party in our State, comes out against tbe present system of county government. This is not to be wondered at 4. man that will seek promotion by affil iating with such a corrupt party is not expected to show much anxiety for the welfare of hia Htate. Such demagogues, hoping to catch the pop ular breezs, have very little rega d for the safety and advancement of the be terclasH. A man that would place tbe financial interests of our tax-paying people in the hands cf ignorant, prejudiced negroes, wanting in ca pacity to run a ten acre farm deserves their scorn and contempt. The Old North State wants no such characters occupying the gubernatorial chair, monuments of her mental and moral decay. Nor are we going to have them. Like devouring hogs driven from an hon-st farmer's corn field, hankering around, hoping for an op portunity to get iu, let them remain outside deploring their leanness. We don't want them in the offices of tbe State, infusing the poison of their natures in the minds of the negroes it is iheir duty to instruct in their du ties to the country. Let us Jeaoh all such men as Dockery and his follow ers in the coming election that the li Lances of our counties will not be placed in the hands of ignorant offi cials wauting in honesty or official ability. As well might you put wolves with devout ing propensities into the fold to guard the mteiestsof tbe sheep. Let North Carolina put her eal of condemnation upon Dock ery and all such party aspirants who would plaoe the interests of the fair est portion of our State in the control of incompetent negr en. I am not writing anytb ng against the negro. Thier behavior during and since the war deserves praise. But for the teachings of Rad ical rulers, more corrupt than them selves, their condition would bejbetter than it is. Corrupt demagogues ex cite their prejudices to ride upon their backs into office. It has been my misfortune to Jive in a county since tho war cursed by Radical rule. Men have been elec'ed to office with not enough credit to give the Required bond but for the irre sponsible negro commissioners that passed upon them. I have seen suits brought on their official bunds to re cover the missing money honest tax payers paid, only 10 get judgment againbt insolvent sureties. I have heard the chairman of a oounty board tell bridge-builders- and others work ing for the couuty "to put on their per cent" so they could get iheir money aft.r the shaving process was gone through with. And Khali we elect a man to the highest office of our Stale that desires such a state of things? The present system of county government is what we m ed to secure the eastern counties, thb fairest por tion of pur State, against the curse of Radical misrule The finances cf tho counties should be in better hands than ignorant officials, wanting in honesty and fiuancial skill. Let us teach such men as Dockery and his followers at the coming election that we want the offices of our noble old State filled by wiaer and better men than they are. L"t us teach them tbit we bav - too much r prct for our l eoplo and know our duty to the Slate better than to place such men as once well tiigh disgraced hr iu office again. R. W. H.
