. VOL. 2. RALEIGH, N. C, SATURDAY. JULY 27, 18G7. NO. 17. THE SENTINEL. WM. B. PELL, Proprietor. TUB DRMASpS OF "VlAXilE." The Richmond Whig, in the course of one i if it recent "Co-operation" articles, de clare that what the Southern ptople require are "a-laptabillty, and the renunciation ol old habits arid fixed forms ot thought unit leeling." If the Whig means that it will require much adaptability, and an utter disowning nt old-fashioned notions ul' honesty and conservatism, on the part of our people, to justify an affiliation with the Radical party, wa admit its premises and bare nothing further to say, except (list it is a renunciation which they will handy, in suy conidcralU numbers, practice. Taken In a general sense, however, ami divested Ol political lieaiings, there is much lorce and truth tu what the Wkij fays. -There u an adaptability which we heartily commend to our people. We would have theiii adapt themselves lo the situation which the results of tile war have forced upon them, and profit by the lesson which have "been taught them. We would have Mir larmera renounce the mistaken aiuliliu lur cultivating too many acres, andthc false iilea that the possession of broad and ex iiansiv fields, however barren or line ultivn led, Invests the o-ffier with a proprietary importance, better and greater than tin- din tinrtion oi mind or merit. We would, do away with that fit liny that has Ixt-n so gen erally felt against parting w it h lands, -even patrimonial or ancestral acres, which grew out of a sensitive, but really morbid, reluc tance. . The small-farm system is one ol the necessities of the changed condition of la ur and It w ill lie found, iu the future, that a biind policy tins be n puri-m -d in this in-i'-r hitherto. We would have n'ir young u.en hoU-: rn 'in-idea that t lie p.-ol.-s-iiiiis arc the oti'v venue In prefVrnW'tii and distincliuii, ami hat oliicc and saUrict, ;n: more dcstrshlf han lalwir.

In view of the mischievous ap-ncii at work ainonj the blacks, and the unwi-e und insidious counsels to which many ot cheat weetn tw moeh dWijioacd to tiehl a credulous ear, it Is but too probable tliut ll,. ile part uuuita of labor, iu which they have heretofore lieen almost exclusively employ i must le altojfether abandoned, or they iuut lie filled by white men. That they cannot l so Is only the fancy of prejudice. We would have all our people iliscurd the itVa that they are dependent uin lUr .orih, or other outside sources, for so ninny of the article of necessity or luxury that they use. The lesson taught us by the war, in this respect, is worth much of the sacrifice that it coat. It has developed a thousand Capabilities iu ourselves and in ourfiOM thajl were undreamed of before. -North Carolina possesses, within her bur lers, enough to minister to the wants ol any reasoiiublo mini, an I enough material wherewith to builil up a flourishing com monwealth, second to none in the I'nion in all the elements ot physical greatness. There are thrvu respects wherein, t loudly hope, the mighty revolution which is sweeping over the face of things will leave oil r people tinfrttiched,- their native modesty and honesty, their just State pride, snd their devotion to the principles ol CunttitiUionul liberty .'

Edi'ort . - I have heretofore giv i ll you a summary ul the proceedings ol a meeting held by the colored people, at the Freed men'.. Schnol-llotise, near Williams' Mills, in this County. Oa-ing lociicuiiistan ces, their anticipations on that otiasiou were not realized, iu coiiscqin i.i , .1 ninth Friday, the Itlth inst., was set apait lor a luller deiiionstration. As in the pn vioiis (M-casion, a goodly number ul the ,,,iue.l Hople were in aluudince, uu.l also a por tion uf the most respectable lili llfi l the County, who seemed to have a ih-ire to know what adrice would be given to their former nervants. The pressing condition ";f the farming interests t-loubtltss hindered others, similarly inclined, from iitteiitting. The first speaker on the stand was one Iliitchiiigs, of color, from Raleigh, who ad vised his brethren to endeavor to educate themselves and their children, that they might lie better able to pcrlorm the duties of Ireenien. Ilo further advised tbmi to lollow peaceable industrial pursuits, assur ing them that they need exect nothing from confiscation, but must buy lands with the proceeds of their ow n industry, it they ever poast-HM-d them. R W. York, Ksq .was then called lor, and responded in a speech of some h i'irth, full ol good advice as wi ll iu the main tor the wliiteas the e.iloled (Kople.

Jaiues Jones, of color, Irom Raleigh, was the next to speak, and he endorsed fully the advice that had been given Iris people by the preceding gentleman, and urged upon them the necessity ot accepting it tally and in good laith ; only, in addition, would he aihl that they should become mem1 .'s of the Republican party. This last speaker, though an avowed II -publican, was nevertheless conscrvaliv e throughout, and, on the whole, gave his people w holesome counsel ; indeed. 1 under stlind that the Ktandanl has quite fallen out w ith him for his const rvMti-ui, mid is likely to drop him from the list. Thus tar in the proceed i'lis, all thing had goue on harmoniously, but jot at this junction one William T. (iuutei arose, and was so rampant and vindictive that one wouhf have imagine. I that black bde tilled his veins instead of blood, lie called Hod to witness the truth of his assertions, while he avowed tliut he had always been a good I'nion man, and w as hunted il.ni u I'm lour long years '"by rebels and tr-iilois," who ought now to be ent lo hell mi l chained there ! Well, now, Messrs.

In the irhilr registered vote, packed and purged a we have stilted, Hrownlow will bu beaten by t wo to one ! Hi adherent are being weakened by daily defection of the beat of their nuudier. We are assured that there i positivtly scarcely a respectable man be longing to his party in the whole rltate! The moral infer of the community is ell with the proscri best majority. The force ol public icntimenl is all their. They have the "whip-hand" of their adversaries in all those relations of life on which men are far more dependent for happiness and influence than on government position. Public Opinion is king in Tennessee, a in the real of the world; and it is a greater king than Hrownlow. In their public addresses the conservative speakers denounce their adversaries with the utmost freedom and Inildness, to audience that applaud to the echo. In Nashville re cently, a speaker declared, in the pre t nee of C.omt, the commander-in chief ot lirownlow's militia, that there was not a gentleman in the whole organization, from ." per down. The latter was forced to bear il. In short the militia, et to overawe the lople, are overawed hy the eople. Among the negroes, too, there i both division and reaction. The exclusion of negroes from the registry, shows the Radi cal alarm. The proceeding of large as semblies, nd the addreaaet, (one of which we have before a,) of intelligent men among them, show that the Radical have cause tor their fears. Is there r.ot much encouragement in the f.iet. that, with all their precaution, the Radicals of Tennessee are confronted and tturnl ut ,y defeat I Doc it not prove that intelligence autl virtue are more power ful than political proscription and disabili ties, i ml that they cannot lie kept from the rule ( It is iutpoaeible for Hrownlow and his '., slilent handful, to withstand the con- .nt rated power of the public opinion ofL the united intelligence anil virtue of the State. It is the nature of vice to cower be fore a manly virtue ; it is the law of God. It Is the nature of ignorance, to slink from the ridicule and the lash of learning and wit.

It will be remembered that tome time last summer one Colonel Ilillyer, for merly on ,Gen.

The Democratic member ot the Judiciary Committee ot the Houto, it ap pear, thought a point for th President might be made out of the matter, and ac cordingly General Grnnt and Col. Ilillyer were summoned to give evidence in the 1m ;,, oLuient inquiry.

The President made tome ob servation to the effect that matter would not become right till the State were re stored to the Union, .and that this ought to be done us soon a possibte ; to which both lilt bearer assented. General Grant wis before the committee on two occasions, and histvidci.ee waa tar enough from being pleasing to the gentlemen by whoa he wa called. He safd in effect, as it it under stood, that he had not thnnght it lilt prov ince to meddle in polities; that he had never been asked by the President for hi advice or opinions on political matters; that in all he had said about the necessity for early restoration ot the Union be had sboken as a military man and ae a eitisrn, and not as a politician; that in hi view military i ulc ought to cease at toon at pos sible consistent with justice and Safety ; that the Southern people themselves should be anxious for restoration of th civil au thority ; that he had, always understood the President's work in the South at of a tem porary character, and at most as but an aid to Congress in setting up the dvil govern ments; that be bad not sympathised with the President in hia conflict with Congress ; that be thought the flxingf term ot re construction was uiatter hewnging to Con gress ; that in hi judgment the South made a grave mistake in not loag ago heartily accepting the term offered ; that he sto'xt firmly by the Congressional plau, snd that be wa anxious now, at be bad Iseen ever since the end of tho war, for the early restoration of the rebel State to the privilege of representation In Coogret." y.iftrjxo ASD PIUYSR.
