We thank the editor of the Demo crat tor his reasonable viewb and common sense notice of the American's article, and all the more as we see it in other papers without note or com ment. We do not dotibt;' however1, the prevalence of terrible stories Statesville and elsewhere West, espe cially, concerning the health of Salis bury. The American's article is 'mod erate in comparison to somq of these stories. We met a man a day or two ago evidently wrought-up an up country man who said to us, " Mis ter, its right smart sickly 'bout here, aint it?" " Well, yes," we answered, this is the chill season of tie year and we have more of that kind of sickness this year than we have had for twelve or fifteen years. But it is not very dangerous yields readily to ordinary remedies," &c. " I heard," said he, " that there was a powerful o.gnt, wi. pcuuie uyin- nere. a man told me that there was five dead peo ple lyin in one house back here, and a signt .ot sicknessall around." " It is not true as to the five dead people," we answered, "and may not be as to the sickness of the neighborhood." We learn that it is reported in the counties North-west of here, that we were burying ten corpses a day. If this story increases as it travels out according to custom, the number will soon reach one or two hundred ! afld finally frazzel itself out to libthing. I There is veryjittle dangerous sick ness in Salisbury, of any kind. We do not know of a single case of typhoid fever, or any other mdlignant disease either known or supposed to be con tagious. We have mild cases of bit u u imerumieuii levers, iust as they are prevailing all over the coun try at this season of the year. There is more of sjich sickness this year than usual more here as well as in all the surrounding coantry as far as we have heard. 1 hw, and nothing more, all wild stories to the contrary, notwith standing. We challenge any comma nity of equal size-in the State to an ex hibition of bills of mortality. If there be more sickness here than elsewhere in the country, it is owing to some lo- cat cause, and these questions are now engaging attention of citizens. There will be an adjourned meeting at Town Hall, Friday nigt, to hear a report upon them.

Messrs Editors : Here is aninatance of the extent to whichij negroes earrj their prejudice and political intolerance : About the 5th of September a negro man died in this neighborhood, and the man on wh. land he lived, got the coffin, thinking that the colored people would attend to the burial ; but, to the surprise of the neighborhood, the corpse lay in me House from Thursday evening till Saturday morning, and not a neero came nr except the grave diggers. The weather was very warm and the corpse had become so nutrid and offensive that it had to be wraiml nn !k the filthy soiled clothes that were on it when death took places and thus laid in th mffln The causa of this treatment was because the de ceased was a Conservative, having cast his vote ine f nIt PopI. This shows the extent of negro Intolerance, and how bitter and clone! leagued they are against Conservative. TKi", wijl vote ! for Grant and reject Greeley.

Cox mnrle a brilliant cam paign speech in New York Tuesday nigth, in which he spoke as follows about the robbery of the South by Grant's carpet baggers : Talk to those Southern men of Arkan sas and South Carolina on the tariff and on matters of Federal taxation, and the fiscal policy of the Government, you might as well talk to the winds. Do you talk ton man of the components of calo ric when his house is on fire? He will not reason with y ou then. I wat, on the Kc Klux Committee. I offered a resolution with iegard to the State debts and the other sources Of Southern impoverishment and discouteut. The majority voted it down, but we finally got to the canse of all the trouble, and it was just bad gov ernment, not the enormous taxation alone, the maladministration of justice alone, but all the various causes combined. We found that over two honored and fiftv millions dollars of debts had been piled on the States of the South, and nothing to show for it not a poor house, not a Courthouse, net a hospital, not a Peniten tiary, although they were much needed there. (Laughter. And there they stand in all the Sonthern States, asking that we give them relief from this bccurscmcnt nnd bedevilment, and say, tbe man who will put down this oppression and testore peace is Horace Greeley.
