In the rjresent. pTpntmn f i,aA are still some"RadicalV candidates and some Independent ones; tlie re- SU F'ection remains to be seen. In this State, also, the blacky have two or three malitia companies,! but ley are deterred from fbrmino- fnore the expense. In the present fcbn- gress there is only- one Republican irom the btate, a white man? 5 He! was formerly Governor of the State,' and was well liked, bat I understand that he is not to be re-elected. The blacks have, put up candidates of their own. and are likely to elect a black man if they, do not lose the seat by a division among themselves, for two blacks are opposing one another ; one of them is said to have been a West Indian j In the mountain regions the white peo ple seem now to be generally Demo crats. General Vance, the G j - j v v w Kt brother, is not opposed there. The roads are very . bad: annarentlv i , i 1 1 j there are no metalled roads in all the State, only tjie common earth roads made by the labor of the people them selves, and very indifferently made. The town of Raleigh is, as usual, very: scattered with broad streets quite unpaved, and a good deal of orna mental ground about the houses. The population of the place is about 12,- 000.1 : The Capitol is a fine building, .in a uuuiuiauuiug situation. i noticed a 1: t -. ; -i very large lunatio Asylum, and there seemed to be a good many other in stitutions. There are many whisky shops, and a good many churches. The cotton market is very busy, the general market seems well suppli ed. ?. : , The most common fish in these parts are what are called sea-trout, but I do not th iii k' they are our sea-trout, they do not. seem very good. Iam told that in the; streams in the hill- country there is very abundant trout fishing. - In the evening I went out to take tea with old Mr. D--- . who has a very pretty place, with a very inice house, beautiful grounds and a most pleasant family. All the arrange ments seemed simple and unpretend ing, but very nice and comfortable. Mr. , kindly arranged for me a little trip into the country to see tlie farmers. The land generally seemed to be the light red soil which I have before meutioned, undulating with much wood about. Cotton is by far tlie principal cultivation. I thought it certainly not so highly cultivated a crop as the cotton I had seen in Egypt, but in many fields there are this year very good crops, from three-quarters to one bale per acre. We met many men with carts bringing in produce, some white and some black; they seem very much on an equality. On the roads of the town I saw white and black men working together. I no ticed that the favorite amusement with the negro boys seems to be to drill as mock soldiers, with sticks and flags and wooden muskets. , I visited Mr. T .head of the Shaw Institue, a college maintained by Northern subscription to educate black teachers. The buildings ' are good .and it seerus a successful insti tue. : Mr. T says his pupils turn out well. He is a. Bostouian, . served in the war,' and is now rather bitter in his political talk. He takes a gloomy view of the prospects ?f the blacks, and is much in favor of their going to Liberia. He has a bad opinion of the present Slate government, but a worc opinion of the carpet-bag and "negro politicians: He soys the negro jnem bera of the present Assembly are ras- (ealsjasare also their candidates for Con gress. He would rather vote for a Democrat than for any of them, 11c has some building work going on; the roaster mason is a black, and two white men are among tlie workmen; but this is an exceptional case, and coukt not ordinarily occur. He thinks the blacks are rather slow in intellect and deficient in snert prise, but they are otherwise good many ot them ; are vwv relifrious. but many others have I. o little idea of the Christian religion. ' T snont the Sundav here. In the morning I went to a black church, but was very unfortunate, as there had oeen some division among the congre gation,, and the place was thinly at tended. In the evening T frmnl o s . i . . better jcongregation at another church. The preacher was very loud, emphat ic and earnest, but there was not ve ry much cohesion in what he Jsaid the singing was good, j I went out With Mr. B- to see a large. vineyard that he has started. He makes very; fair wine, lut only the native American vines succeed the French vines have quite , failed bliglit greatly affects thera and other fruit trees. s ' -i. This docs libt seem to be much of a fruit country. ! I am surprised to see how little ex citement there is in regard the con tested election, which is to take place the day after to-morrow. There are no placards and few signs of a strug gle going on. . j Next day I started for Salisbury, a place in this State, considerbly to the west. The country is still undu lali ngwith a mixture of 'wood and cultivation. We came to the district where tobacco is largely grown, and stopped some time at Durham, the centra of the tobacco manufacture. I had an opportunity of going over one of the factories in tact, one of the largest manufacturies in the United Statesj. They also manufacture what is called snuflj bnt it is not really ta ken as snuff ; it is chewed. They tell nie that a fine quality of this sn uff is very much used by American ladies, who put it in their mouth on the pre text of its being good for the teeth, but they really chew it, and so con sume large quantities. I never could get any one to admit this practice, but so said the manufacturers. Here, al so, almost all the work is done by blacks, but certain departments, name ly :, the. weigh ing and finishing off the packages, are exclusively in the hands of white men. Employers-never can trust the blacks with anything which requires careful attention and accura cy. ', . . - 1 1 sopped at Haw River to see the cotton mills there. They carry out the whole process of manufacture, from cleaning the cotton as it comes, loose from the fields, to the manufac ture of the cloth and the dying of it, in the same, not very large establish ment? The mills are worked by wa ter power, as is always the casein this piart of the country. They claim that they have a .better climate in the South, with less extremes of heat and cold, and they have great advantages, they say, not only in the saving of the carriage of the cotton, but also in that they are saved the serious expense oti packing it. Their labor, too, is cheaper than that in the North. Here I went out to see the farm of Mr. B , a New Jersey man, who has established a farm of six hundred acresr principally with the object of breediug horses. The road, as usual, I find detesta ble, but Mr. B- says the New Jer sey roads .are good ; they have a good grave! soil there. Pastures and cat tle-breeding have been somewhat neg lected in these Southern States, and he hopes to show them the way to im prove?. He is strong on the excellence of the climate here, about 800 feet above the. sea. The thermometer does not usually rise above 80 degrees, and the winters are mild aud good. There seems to be no doubt that there is a great change in the winter climate as one passes South through Virgin- .!.:. -T i. j .- ia into me varounas auu -jeorgiiu 1 ;Kad met in the train an old Scotchman, Mr. M , who had been uri wards of forty years in this State. Ir. M very kindly insisted on taking me to his house at Salisbury, where T was most comfortably accom modated. In the morning we walked about the town, which seemed a nice, rn'rai'place. Mr. M 's wife is al - so! a New Englander, but they are all ndw! thoroughly Southern in feeling, both! as to the war and as to the ques tion ijof slavery.
