By WTH-lilAJI Hi BEBNAKD. - WILMINGTON, N. C: Friday f ?S!li September 21 , 1877. EYfiMNGr EDITION. THE NORFOLK TIRGINIAN. The Virginian pays its respects to - the Star. In one particular we are agreed-fin ' the i poor opinion we en tertain of each other's articles. We have never read any productions from an intelligent source that are so destitute; of force "and plausibility. An intelligent' boy of fifteen can verbal cobwebs, called by the, Vir : giniari inTthe plentitude of its self- fcomplacency, inexorable and invin- cible logic." ' thH: -f : The article selected by the Vir ginian for commeht was our second long.article. We have since written a third. We are quite contented to .leave the matter where it is. ' ' The people of North Carolina are not quite as stupid as they "are thought to be by some ' "magnificent Virginians," and they, too, understand "the origi nal issue." They know, that for fif teen years the- soldiers of this State have beea systematically misrepre sentedby certain. Virginia' writers, and that Colonel Taylor, in his article in the Times, quite deliberately glori fied his own people at the expense of North Carolinians. 1 This has been abundantly shown in three editorials of thoSxAB. : ; ' ' . ' ' , The compliments of the Yvrginian to our soldiers, would be more becom ing if they did not emanate from a paper that upholds Colonel Tajor in all he has written, and that persists in reiterating an unfair and erroneous account of the battle. , J - The-; Virginian is mistaken in sup posing that we have s'caught" from another paper a certain "contagion." We had written articles concerning the injustice done our North Caro lina boys at Gettysburg long before the Observer was. thought of.' Col. Taylor is not the first Virginia writer whose incorrectness and unfairness we have v punctured. : We ; prepared our first article in review of his gross errors two or three days before the! first Observer, article appeared. We confess we cannot read with much patience systematic . misrepresenta t'OT1" Tzcts by which North -Caror " : rs",are insulted and , alan ?meof V our North Caro- "ve been silent under - ITirginian lneed ''"W to its all mm tude assigned them by the last his torian front Virginia. 1 We will publish in our next the evidence Ave promised some days ago, a part of which first appeared n-Qur Living and Our Dead, and all" of which, was copied jnto the Raleigh Observer. That will probably close all ,'we'wiU!h'ave to t offer until that "book" is forthcoming. STANLEY TUB TRAVELLER. It is now admitted, even by those papers that have been in the habit of "poking fun" at Stanley, the African explorer, that t he has performed a very remarkable journey; across. Af rica, and . has added considerably thereby to the. knowledge of-Uhe world. He is a very daring fellow, and, although he is overflowing with the Northern peculiarity of "brag,'' and has a way of blowing his own tru mpet very loudly, he ( has accom plished a feat of which ojir "glorious country", may well - be proud. He lacks scientific ' knowledge, and, therefore," he tells but little of the flora and fauna of Africa. He is a much better describer of ' hair breadth "escapes and startling ad ventures by "flood and ffield" than he is an accurate observer of scientific facts. " His account of. his travels will interest the general reader more because of this I deficiency, whilst science is the loser, ; His taste is very defective, and lie is fond of rehearsing his own exploits. But he is none the less a 'very successful ex plorer, and has added , no little to the geographical knowledge of " the world. Whether it will le. conceded I in Europe that , he deserves to take rank with the great African travellers remains to be seen. We avail;our- selvesof an article iu the Baltimore Gazette for some account of i what Stanley has done: . t "His latest feat' eclipses anything ever previously done in African exploration. It is true ; tbat Lieutenant Cameron -a before bim was able to make 3iis way en tirely across the continent of Africa and made valuable discoveries. '-He traced the Lualaba river for a considerable distance from Lake TanganvikaT and cob lectured tbat in it be bad found tbe bead , waters of tbe great Congo river, emptying into tbe Atlantic about six degrees below tbe equa tor. But be was compelled to leave tbe pro blem unsolved, and abandoning tbe course or tne JLuaiaoa, made bis way to tbe twest coast in a southwesterly direction, emerg ing at Henguela, some five hundred miles below tbe CoDgo. The Lualaba in its course to tbe coast describes a great curve to tbe nortb, so tbat it traverses a region extend ing five degrees to either side of tbe equa tor, and greatly increases its length. ; No amount of criticism can impair tbe great ness of tbe exploit which Stanley has per formed in tracing tbe course jof the Lualaba to tbe west coast, proving its. identity with tbe Congo and establishing- 'the fact that tbe Congo, like tbe Nile, has its origin in tbe great lake basins of equatorial Africa, "Stanley's J tales of constant encounters with tribes of cannibals are doubtless true, barring the exaggeration which is the habit of bis style.: Dr. Schweinf urth, who under the protection of Khartoom! trading com panies penetrated far into equatorial Africa from tbe north, met with abundant evi dences of the cannibal tastes of the Niam-I Niam, the Monbutto and other tribes. : But! k.:. i J j that a small party armed with firearms are a match for thousands. ; ,The tales of poisoned arrows must also be taken with a large pinch of salt Dr. Schweinf urth, an emincHt botanist, found tbe. berries chiefly used for poisoning arrow-beads to be merely red pepper, and he established a tremendous reputation as a magician by swallowing some with impunity; Tbe bat tles, therefore, which figure so prominently in Stanley's tale, are not such terrible af fairs as they seem. The natural difficulties in tbe way were greater than those inter posed by tbe hostility of savage tribes, and in overcoming these Stanley has done quite enough to give, renown to himself and to the journal whose enterprise furnished him with the means for his journeys." THE WELDON FAIR. We are pleased to notice that the Weldon News speaks so hopefully of the approaching fair at Weldon. It. expects ten thousand people to be present when our popular and versa tile Governor will tell the good peo-j pie what "he knows about' farming." We can testify that he knows how to; speak on such occasions , if he is "a shade farmer," as be "calls the urn-! brella fellowsr -Sojrje.en years ago; or more he made an agriculthral ad dress at Danville, Va. j and itwas ex cellent. It is true be did not onnne ; himself very closely to his text, but he nevertheless- talked ' wisely and well. The Richmond Enquirer copied it with the remark that it onght to be published in eyT newspaper in the South. ,r If any one thinks" Go v, "Vance is not a farmer as well as a "fellow of infinite jest," only read the following unique, recommendation of an excel- jj lent agricultural moniniy : - ti t rftfl hfl Planter and Farther Jronico-I ver to cover, and find it aDOunaing in vu most interesting matter Like Payne, t he author of 'Home, Sweet Home,'iWho tt As an(A hart nn home.

In the : first place, it is ; not the Governor,' but the officers entrusted with ; the duty . of prosecuting j. criminals, who have instituted : these .proceed ings against the thioves who used their official position to pluhder ; the people; and,itiyen .if Gov. Hampton were exclusively responsible, he would be entitled to'the, thanks of honest men everywhere for bringing these' scoundrels td justice,. But to plead : "political offences" won't do; we in Chicago, with r our experience in corrupt rings, call a thief a thief, whether Republican or,' Democrat, and don't call it political persecution when the grand jury gets after them. Chicago Tribune Hep. ' , OVB STATE CONTEMPORARIES. ' Some of our State exchanges are com plaining that our Governor is using too freely the pardoning power vested ia him by die Convention, attributing to bira.eome of them.the exercise of this right unwisely, and intimatiBg that ho is doing it to further his own political ends. Tbe trouble" arises not -with Governor Vance, but with the judges, who, thus far have seemed entirely unable to discriminate between' the grades of offenses, and per consequence the pun ishments to be inflicted. Weldon Feux.; There is a state of affairs in existence in Raleigh which does not reflect . with any credit upon the Democratic party of the capital; city. The Hews holds, and we think correctly, that while Judge Strong may have been entitled to the salary from tbe day. of bis election, it was ques tionable morality for him to have drawn money from tbe State for services which he did not render, and during a time when he was attending to his private business just as any other privato .. citizen. ' Theso things, taken in connection with tbe recent ugly developments concerning the South ern Underwriters Association, are not cal culated to put the Democrats of Raleigh in a very enviable light before the people of the State.' VWe do not believe in shielding wrong-doers because they happen; to be long to one's political - household; Demo cratic papers should be lust as swift to de nounce Democratic as Republican frauds, and this should be done without regard to "harmony at the : centre" or to anything 1 else.GtarlctffiB Ofrumr, ; . ?,' i a a-' i . .
