Capital lute North Carolina and the South
generally. Nobody should object to this.
It is a step in the right direction. But,
Mr. Bruner, let me tell you in all cau dor
am! friendship, that these spasmodic ef
forts to induce immigration and capital
into the ex -slave States cau hardly have
permanency, irnay opinion, nntill after a
well defined policy of colonization shall
bye been inaugurated throughout those
States. Whenever the negroes begin to
colonize by the thousands, then immigra
tion will begiu to come in bv the thou
sands. Do you know that there are 500,000

Office of Internal Revenue,
Washington, Feb. 9, 1881.
. U. Helper, Esq..
Sir: lam in receipt of vour letter of
the 4th iust. asking for the amount of
revenue collected on raw cotton from the
unie tne tax was first imposed to time
when it was repealed. The aggregate re
turned to tins omce waa fS,07,38S.99.
, Respectfully,
11. C. Rogers, Dep'y Couit.
It will not be denied, 1 presume, that
the law imposing the tax on raw cotton
waa unconstitutional, and that therefore
the collection of said tax waa illegal . 1
propose at the proper time to submit a
petition to Congress, signed I could
wish by every poor white man and negro
in the land praying that honorable body
for a distribution to the ex-slave States,
pro rata, of the whole amount of money
coutaiued iu the official figures above
mentioned, to wit: $68,072,388.99, and to
lie applied exclusively to negro coloniza
tion. Inasmuch as the cottou so taxed
was grown chiefly by slave labor, this
money can, with great propriety, be ap
propriated for so divine au object. This
is only one of the many ways and means
by which we may aid colonization. Some
time iu the near future, should my health
improve, I hope to bo able to demonstrate
this subject clearly. Meanwhile I am,
Yours, very truly,

Smith's farm, six or eight miles below
here. This is the largest mound in the
Valley, and proved a rich stove-house,
The mound is fifty feet high, and they
dug down to the bottom. It was evi
dently the burial place of a noted chief,
who had been interred with unusual
honors. At the bottom they found the
bones of a human being, measuring se
ven feet in length and nineteen inches
across the shoulders. He was lying flat,
and at either side, lying at an angle of
about foly-five degrees, with their feet
pointed towards the chief, were other
men on one side two and on the other
three. At the head of the chief layn
other man, with his hands extended to
wards him, and .earing two bracelets
of copper.
On each of the chiefs wrists were six
copper bracelets, while a looking glass
of mica lay at his shoulder, and his gor
get of copier rested on his breast, r our
copper bracelets were under his head,
with an arrow in the centre. A house
twelve feet in diameter and ten f 7t high,
with a ndge-pole one foot in diameter,
had been erected over them, and the
whole covered by the dirt th?.t formed
the mound.
Each of the men buried there had
been enclosed m a bark coffin.

A Relic of the Lost Cause.
We have in this office a blood stained
piece of silk, faded and full of bullet
holes, wliich once formed a part of tbe
cross upou the flag of company E which
was taken from this couniy by Capt.
Jno. F. Hill. The flag was presented to
the company by the ladies of Richmond
Va., iu 1801. It was first earned into the
the Seveu Days Fight below Richmond
by Carpenter of this county, who
was killed trader it. It was immediately
taken up by J, D; Of mand of Rowan
county, who carried it until next day,
wheu he, too was killed. Henry Eaton
of this county, seized it as Or maud fell
aud carried it through two. battles. Some
mail whose name we have failed to learu,
but who was from Montgomery county,
carried it nearly a year until he was
killed at Chaucellorsville. As lie fell P.
Hovis of this couuty, caught the flag and
in fifteen minutes was killed. It was
then taken from his hands by the ga'.laut
boy soldier, T. A. Kistler of Rowan, who
