An itnpraaaion seems to have got into the ruinils of lbnegnje bweabouts that tlw United State Government has begun the distribution ill the land and other property of "rebels" in the States South and Booth weat of ns, and many aeem indifferent to entering into fcngaie menu for service this year, anticipating that the "distribution ot the spoils" will begin ere long hereabouts. We suggest that it ia tbe duty f all persons it intelligence to set any who may have deceived tllese impressions, wuo may roiiie in their way, right. If any of our freed iimi want land given to them without paying ..r il, they can get it In Florida, Alabama and other States in which the Government owns, by iiecoinini; actual settlers upon the land. The land is yet uncleared and unbroken, and the set t It r will need stock, tools and food, (or money to nrocu re these-neeesrfary articles,) lx-fore he i uii tliink of pre empting it, and the only way tu l it will be by hard worlt and honest mt mix. Wadesburu A rff us. r i ,i ' The above corresponds with Mir Information I'roiu other parts of the State. We learn, trow several cxiuoties, that our planters have nut been able yet to make contracts with laborers lor the year. This state ol things must be ruin ous both fi black and while, ad ahftns tlrat our censure are just upon those persons in this State, who are lajlioring to Interest the colored imputation in politiml affairs. Those miserable demagogues and incen diaries, who are thus operating upon our col in-il (Herniation, are doiug an amount of mis chief whose MuTtt'canflol Tc Tori-tord". It re tMiires no (lemonstratUin to prove, that certain ruin must follow any teaching which inculcates the idea, that our fonntir laboring population, by their changed condition, can live an propri ktor and self managers, discarding the system .if regular laborers oh the firm. Even if our lalxiriug population had the means to procure lands of their own, tbc manifest incapacity of ninety nine out of a hundred to conduct a farm tlieinx Ives, judiciously ami skillfully, ought to in like them hesitate. Landed proprietors cau nut rent or lease their linn l U iguorant, un skillful, and jrrcspousiblc persons. If tiny were certain of getting the full rent, still tbe injury sustained by having their lands badly cultivated, and fences and ilitehi-s t It-strove. I, ittMihi be incalculable.

Whether the Leg itlnture of Virginia will perform this feat at the bidding of Butt, time will show.

Our cotemporary of the harhituj Titan, aparently very seriously, pub lishes a professed ofticral communication to the ( ntiress, signed by the above name, as the Chief Detective of the United States, in which he represents that, after a ii.oat the rough inves tigation into the charge that secret political dis lojal associations' are iu existence in the South, if (an flnij no trace of thorn.

I tiK Nitw York ZViiua Uaa an article enti tle! "How the South Stands;" which is full of imsrcpresentatioir- of our iieople and their JeH. In view of it character, it should be followed bj ant entitled How the Triiutu W. - Agriculture. The agricultural resource of North Carolina have not been developed, perhaps, a tithe of their actnal capacity. Even onr beat farming lands, in the hands of our beat farmers, have not been brought up to, half the productiveness which they might be, under a thoroughly cien tifio and skillful management. Many of our best farmers have been improriW or have taken up the vim atiun at mature period of life, and have had to learn a they practised. Among those who have been trained from chidhood to the vocation, there' arc Te, il', any, who have ever become thoroughly skilled in the science or practice ol farming. Most are plodders, fol lowing tbe same plan, using the same imple ments, and pnfsiling the same erids as "rece ding generations. The causes for this are vari ous : 4 1. Tbe f nr tent almighty dollar, rendered ne cessary ol ten by the surrounding or condition of the farmer, bus heen the object of pursuit. Our planters liai(e. not lived for posterity. Ofir noble forest have been felled to open broad acres to Im remlered sterile and Waste by Imd cultivation. Land has Wen added to lands. not to In- iuiprH'uU tpd rendered capable of supporting a largo population, but to afford era- rloyini'nt to the jrrowing numbers nt domestic aim atrc Ui U led aiul tluUied. Ilcjate, in oiiiiarativily new country, we have tract of and, whitih ought to have been improved by cul tivation, worn out a)d turned wit trt-grow up, fo I airain cnt down and worn out by the sue cevding generation, or to remain wast and iimHrupied. v 2. The system t Iwrgo farms, to support large gangs of slaves who never altalrtcd any skill in agriculture, may be chargeable to .some extent with this state Ad . lUiugs. Krwer laborers, bet ter taught na smaller farm, enriched- a ad im proved by better cultivation, would have left allie States cast ot the, Mississippi, in the slave Stairs, with one half of their original forest still standing, and the other baft so well culti vated as to provide Iietter for live jirten times their present population, than the present open lands can now provide for their reent occu pants. ' 3. Another cane ot the lieggared comjitioh of gric'oltiire in the South ha been fht lhtle attention given t'A the use. of improved farming, iuipleiiuials. The - impltnieots juiw used, on three fourths the fsrms in tbc South, are peiliaiMt not a whit Ijcttcr than those tlscd thir ty, forty and fiftj; years agy, Wliep proper at tention ha bees given Ui thia subject, the clear est iniroveTnewtB havebctn maniftist. In the present epi rliniit yrjth )ree')alxr, great changes must take place in all the respects. Whatever ma? he the quantity or character of the lands ow ned by large landed proprietors, the day baa gone by for the employment of the tnrnisr Urgu nuialieft. u( hands by tho same proprietor or manager. However aaio, or profitable or economical it wa lrt the day, ot slajtry to group together .large number! of la- iMirers on the Minu farm, U will be found far less so ia the niAnspemont r eapkyment of free lalsir. It strikes us tbe true policy now 1, small farms and a correspondent employment of few haisrls, rendered more skillful by good manage roewt.and the deficit in land and labor tq be made up ty proer fertiiiaer and manure and the most improved implement of husbandry. We are glad to Arid that our trading people are furnishing fertilizer, lime, &c.t in unusual quantities, and we. liopcjj Jjij JMlsyft And it affords us pleasure to repeat that Messrs. B. P. Williamson & Co, and Mr. Tow Uuf 'ot this city, and Messrs. Mitchell, Allen ft Co., pf Newbern, are contributing largely to supply Improved ag ricultural implement. The last named firm in Newlicra, so toe, have recently added largely to flieir meant of supplying the demand by the establishment of a plow factory. Messrs. U. P. W01iamon & Co. Lave for some time bad one of the largest plow factories, in this ct'ty, ia op eration, to be found in the State. The State may regard those who furnish fertilizer and implements, on good term to pur lannere, a real benefactor. Wk skk it stated' that a Mr. Fuller, of the I'.linoh Senate, Iibs Introduced thill to "change the Great Seal of the State," the legend upon wlrlch is "State Sovereignty, National Unirm." ,IIc object's to this device a disloyal. To render it an entirely loyal teal;, we suppose, it should be changed to "Federal Sovereignty, State De struction," and the teal should be required to take the test -oath 1 Akotheh of the numerous Mexican leaden, Cahales, has started a little "revolution on Ins own account. There kro now about a many separate revolutionary commands in Mexico as there are leaders. EachofJhese leader is go. ing it "on his own book."

It would be invidious to particu larise, but I may, with propriety, say that tbe speechera of Messrs. Black. Cowan, "Oool'Utlc, Merrick and Kodgcrs, exhibited a tope far dif ferent from the timid and truckling elocution indulged in of late by the opponents of con gressional usurpation. Io impassioned and em phatic language the President was pointedly told by these gitted orators that upon the first attempt of the plotter at the Capitol to carry their infamous insurrectionary projects into practical effect, they wpuld look to htm as commander-in-chief of the army and navy, to exer cise hit functioni to their full extent, and that they could, after the occurrences of this eve ning, rely with renewed and 'tindonbflntf assu rance on hit determination to do his full fluty.

The SUndard t. Truth. A man once remarked, that all the statement of a neighbor of hit were believed, because he always told a reasonable truth. A peeiou falsehood may be believed, and many each era received as truths at Wasiiington. The Stan dard ha some how or other lost its balance. Do tbey keep Christmas in Raleigh until the 0tn ot January f list some mend been send ing tbe editor egg-nog ? or ha he been frighten. ed T He writes strangely lor a man of truth -we mean no diarespect to our cotemporary, per sonally ; but we fear that hi late trip to Wash ington, and hi new associates, so recently form ed, have bad a rather damaging effect upon mm. It ha been aid that a man may repeat what is not true, until be believe it himself. In the Standard of the 8th, we find the following "The people of tbis State, ot both race, have a right to memorialize the Congres, and they will exercise thia right. No power can prevent mem irom doing it. We tell tbe people that they are free. No grand June will dare, even under the order of Gov. Worth, to indict them liecausc they have thought proper to sign peti tlons to Congress." Now we rejoice to learn that we are free ; we begin to feel so since a certain decision was made declaring the trials of civilians by mili tary court illegal. Wa are tree I Mr. Hoi den says so !

In tbe same article' we find tbe following startling sentence : "We tell the Congress that treason baa got to men a pitcti in tbi State, that those of our peo ple who presume to send memorials to it are in u anger 01 oeing inaictea ana punished." ltow can both of these statements be true ? In one breath you say "the people are free no power can prevent them from sending memori alsno jury will dare indict them, 4c, and then in the next "we tell the Cbngrea that the people who send the memorials, Ax., are in dan ger of being indicted and punished."

Hartley, at his residence oh North West creek, some eight miles below this city, on Saturday morning last. It appears that about 2 o'clock a. m., a band of deperadoes, some ten to twelve In number,' went to Mr. Hartley's house, Snd making no at tempt at secrecy, a portion of them surrounded the building snd'notined the inmates, on pain of deatlk, not to open the doors. Mr. II. had in bis house a double and a single barrelled gun, loaded with duck shot. These loads ha deliberately draw and supplied their place with bad thot. Despite the entreaties of his wife, who was sick, he then partially opened one of his doors, when- tbe cry was raised, shoot the damned , and three guns were instantly discharged at the door, Mr. H. receiving slight wouads from a few glancing buck shot. He then threw tbe door open and fired one barrel -into the smoke house, where, a party of negroes were plundering, and then jumped into the yard and fired the second barrel in tbe same di rection, and returned for his other gun and fired st the party,' who were now retreating in' tome confusion. Jlequicklv reloaded both guns, end calling a negro man who lived in. hi kitcheni gave him the Hngle barrelled gunv and they stsrted towards the landing in pursuit. . The negtoe hearing thera coming' through the bushes- baited anitx the leader ordered a thurgr, when some ris or eijrht gun, were, dis chaiged in the direction ofthe pursuer, but without effect'. The negroes ma v the biniliiig ' and took to their boat, 'nd as they punhed off' Mr. U. and the negro with him freti nt he par-1 ty, with what effect be does not kupwv. Returning to his house he found all I tie meat in bags or lying on the uronml, an.
