THE FENITBRTIABT. - The total expenses of the Peniten tiary for the last two years was $290, 650 20. ' This was what it cost. The receipts ? amounted to $291,328 98, , distributed as follows: i r ; Work,&o.i at Raleigh. ...$ 47,525 83 Work on Western North Caro lina Railroad;,....... 103,096 00 Cash for convict labor...'....., 21,946 56 Work on Yadkin Valley R- R.. 56,438 25 Shoe department 46,820 94 Oxford Railroad. ... v..; 9,849 00 i OUier work; about. ; 6,000 00 ' - Tptal $291,328 98 This is the showing, hut is" it cor rect ? That is to say, is it a fact that the convicts are " self-supporting? We judge not from what the Raleigh r News-Observer says, from whose columns we take the above. It says: "From this statement it weald seem that the value of the Penitentiary force approx imates its cost, and were the labor; per formed paid for In cash the force would earn its expenses. It is said that progress on the main building haa been delayed by inadequate appropriations." - v -i .r The .number of j convicts is 841. Since the Penitentiary was ; opined 3,822 convicts "have been confined. .TJie-JSfaw Observer saysr. - - : -"j - "It seems that - about three-fourths of thoBe In prison cannot read and write, and most of them are youngt .comparatively few being over thirty years of age.: This indicates that the negroes who have grown up Bince the war furnish the bulk of our -criminals, and marks the difference in mo ral character between those who were trained in slavery times and those growing up under present influences. : .. . ;-""-,' - "The favorite terms of sentence seem to have been one, two, three, five and ten years. During the last two years" four were sentenced for murder,' eighteen, for manslaughter, i ninety-one for ; receiving stolen goods, and 717 for larceny In the same time sixty-four only have been sen tenced to a second imprisonment, four for a third, and one for a fourth. ' 'At tbjs Penitentiary there have been sixty-six deaths out of 1,304 cases treated in the hospital." 1 ; . Major Hagland, a leading ' farmer ofTIalif ax," Virginia, and an intelli- - gent writer upon agriculture, in a 'letter to the Richmond Religious Herald, speaks "very favorably of the White Burley tobacco. He says it pays and can be produced in Virginia. He says, further, that it is working a revolution . in production in the West. The best Burley is grown in Mason, Bracken and Pendleton coun ties, in Kentucky, and in Brown and Clermont counties in Ohio. - He says of the latitude of this section : "These are' situate between 38 degrees 45 minutes and 39 degrees 20 minutes north latitude corresponding with Shenandoah, Warren, Fauquier, Prince William; Fair fax, Loudoun, Clarke and Frederick coun ties, in Virginia. The limestone soils' of some of these counties correspond in great similitude to those in the first named grow ing the Burley. Bat, however well adapted the soils and climate of the above mentioned - Virginia counties may be to this new type : of tobacco, they are not in the tobacco belt, and produce scarcely any tobacco, aa a money crop." ' .;-- Some of the North Carolina coun- . ties containing limestone soils might make a trial, of the Burley, but it would hardly pay the counties pro 1 during ; the 'golden (the - yellow) to I adopt the silver (the White Burley). If GovV Holden were to be a can didate .again for the office of Chief Executive, and were . to bey elected, and stranger things than; that have happened, what guarantee : have the "people that he would not attempt to play the pgrli again that he played in 1869-70, if occasion allowed or party . exigencies demanded it ? Has the ': leopard changed his spots? If he baa not seen the error of his ways, who is wise and great enough to say that; be would not repeat the same offences ?

As we shall have occasion to refer to some of the letters from time to time as they appear, wo give .the points contained in the circular iet ter sent out by the American, thM our readers may see what sort of in formation is songht : -- "1.

Mr. Stuart makes some sugges tions at the close of his excellent tet ter which it would be very wise on the part of the incoming Administration to adopt; a We give the points mere ly without alfef the elaboration. Mr. Stuart W:ffft: : "Among the moat effectual means of con tributing to this end I would mention the following i - f '- "''-1 ;-' -f: v ; "'l. Let the Federal, Government forbear as much as possible from intermeddling with the administration .of the domestic affairs of the several States. This is a field outside of the jurisdiction of the National Government, and any intrusion into it by Federal authority cannot be regarded other wise than as the usurpation of power not delegated by the Constitution, and, .there fore, calculated to engender jealousy and distrust. u s ;. -? -? --. -& "2. To this end, let the Federal Govern ment, in the selection of officers to fill posi tions of public trust in the Southern States, be careful to choose men of ability, integ rity and fairness, who will possess the con fidence of men of all. races and color, and whose counsels and example will tend to promote good .feeling between the races instead of appointing unscrupulous dema gogues. 5 jh a.; .V ; 1 . ! "3. Let ! the in-coming? administration 'set its face like flint - against repudiation, in all its forms and shapes. ' Let it pro claim to the world that the repudiation , of public or private obligations is incompati ble with the vital principles of the Repub lican party. ; - ' ' i "4. As the negro race constitutes the only xlass of our citizens who are indebted, directly, to the Federal Government for the elective franchise. It would seem that they have a peculiar and exceptional claim on the bounty of the National Legislature, for aid,' by liberal appropriations from the Federal Treasury, in educating them up to the standard of the duties of citiaenship which they are required , to discharge. 1 hold, then; that there is a high moral jiuty resting on the American people-and more especially on the Republican party, - which made the negroes citizens and votersto afford them such means of education as i charge of their duties as such." - ' I He shows that thft proposition 'be fore Congress to give the ;Soth he interest oCpublio lands for a term p years, to be distributed opon a, basis of illiteracy "will amount to but little, and will be of no practical value; "aa it is doubtful if it will yieloTten cents per annum for the education of each illiterate ; child, I" '.He . says the re oommenqauon oi tne xreaooay xoara ii the true one to give the proceeds of the whole public lands for four-; teen years to the' education of ' two million indigent, colored children.

Dr.' Baraais Sears, an enlightened Northern Be-: publican, as saying that if the !pres-' ent opportunities : are neglected, : wa horde of young. badarians" will be entailed upon the couhtrFHo Brow up to prey on the peace of society." 5 , iTho letter, of Lieut. GoynJame A, Walker is in a different atrain altoge ther. He is sharp and curt: He tells some truths nevertheless. ; 'For in stance : "y" ; ; "The South is solid agaToarTlbe polUleai Heresies ana political principles or the Re-, publican party; and net against the North' as a. tection, v Southern Democrats.' at well as Northern Democrats are opposed to the centralizing aoctruies and tendencies of the Republican party, whicb would destroy the last vestige of. ftfutea itigbis add : jnake sovereign States no more than fonntiea.

Hon. J. Bandolph Tucker declined to answer at large f qr want of time.
