OUB, WANT.
The limited amount of capital in the South is a
dnestion that demands the earnest consideration
of our people. Without money our immense re
- f sources cannot be developed ; and now is the time
s to make efforts to secure that which must be the
, basis of our future prosperity. i
Not having the Capital ourselves, we must in
vite it from! abroad. We must lay before the pub
lic a full and fair statement of our resources ; our
4 men of learning, especially those who have a
.practical knowledgeof our soil climate and pro
ductions, must give their attention to this im
portant work, and let capitalists abroad know
what splendid inducements we can offer them.
Earnest and persistent efforts should be made
to divert inj this direction a portion of the Im
mense surplus capital that now lies buried in the
Northern cities.: i While .we are almost without
- the money with which to buy the necessaries of
v life, the people of the North are revelling in un-
xoia weaitnjana luxury; There is an abundance
Of money in the country to supply all the wants
,: pf trade and commerce.: buC hnfortunatelv for
t- lis, that money is not jequally distributed ; and;
; . r while we arp looking around, us each day for the
means with which -to stock our" larder for the
'next,- the more fortunate ueonle of the North are
, " busily engaged in developing somernew scheme
t for the investment of their surplus capital -: v
, We say let them; come here. Now that they
p are becommg aatisfied that there is. no disposition
, ; : onr tjhe part jof ourpebple' to do them bodily harm j
that A Nortjieni gentleman will be treated with
' - courtesy and resp'ectletr; them "come among us
f'j f with their stifrplds' means, and 'thus increase their
' r: own prosperity, while they add -to ours. ;

who will dejrote tneir' tame and energies tp their

vof party strij oner words, we are ready to
i welcome Northern men who come among us with
the intention o'f attending to theio wn- business,
while hey let other' people's alone. .. -They

Personal. -Mr. Wm. Little, editor of the Ben
r ' nettsville, S. C.,7 Journal, is now in the city on bu
. , siness connected with his paper. We recommend
t the Journal ks a good advertising medium for
those who wfeh to build up a business with the
upper Pee Dee section; The low ' through rates
i of freight froni this point to Cheraw will make it
' to the interest of ; the Pee Dee planters to Bend
j .-their produce" to "this market ; and those, who
wish to reap the benefit of this new trade will ad
v , vance their, interests by inserting a eard in the
Bennettesvillie Journals' .

Millinery, &c.--About the 1st of Octo
ber, Mr. A. D. Brown will open a large andt ak
tractive stock of Millinery, Gloves, Fancy Goods,
&c, in the store on Front street, formerly occu
pied by Kahnweiler & Bro. - j s
Mr; Brown's well-known experience in this
business, is a sufficient -guaranty of his taste;
and his great popularity as a gentleman will, no
doubt, bring him' a " host of patrons." Success,

beset with such expressions as f'have yer boot

much, and not caring a "ding"' for expressions,

CAPITAL ,6,000,000 1 1
To the Sheriffs and Tax Collectors of
North-Carolina. '
In; consequence of informatiqn
just received, I deem it mv dutv to inform vou
that you are bound by law; to pav the State Tax
es now due, into the Public Treasury. trior to
the 1st day of October; next. Unless payment
shall be made? I am imperatively bound .? 4 at the
first court which occur after the default, to move
for judgment against delinquents for the full
amount of taxes due, deducting nothing for com
missions or insolvents, but adding one thousand
aoiiars lor taxes supposed not to appear, in the
lists transmitted by the Clerk." i , i
! The next Superior Court of Wake will begin bri
the 30th of September. 1 With every disposition
to grant indulgence to Sheriffs and the people, I
think it. best to notify ; you, that the law gives
me no discretion, and that unless payment be
made on or before the 4th of October next, being
Friday of the Superior Court of Wake, Judgment
will assuredly be moved for, or against all de
linquents. r . i
: I learn that an opinion prevails in some quar
ters that the State Treasury has a large surplus
and needs no further replenishment. This is
not true. The taxes collected unrip.r .th Tf vp:
Hue Act-of 1S66, will be nearly all exhausted by
iuc uiusc ui ptcscuii jiscai year i&ept. 3U, lWiv.V
The taxes now be in sr collected. ;-will ha t(miA
for the year ending September 30, 18G8. Out of
this fund must be paidi the expenses of the Stnt
Government for the coming voar. of the Aav-
lums, of the probables Convention and General
Assembly, in full all ordinary and extraordinary
appropriations made by law. :
i This is the smallest Tax levied since 1848. Tax
payers should attend to their duties at once and
cheerfully. They will expect relief in vain. The
district commander has oeen urged to stop the
collection, but has declined i to interfere. Let
Sheriffs by energetic collections, and tax payers
by prompt payments, save me from the painful
duty of enforcing law against delinquents. ;
