The view expressed by the National In tell'geneer, Id to article on our first page, pjawattadavwerajriatf fT4epeet to cotton planter. For tome time our own viewt hire led at to the nme conclusions. Hired negro labor, it character and price, we have believed, from the flnt, cannot com pata with the cheaper and better regulated labor of India or Egypt. Even our loperior lands, and the article we produce, cannot enable o entirely to compete with them, and it has been our opinion, sinw the re suits afth paot year were known, that uu Ieai an entire change ia the policy ol the Radical party. In regard to the colored race, ia effected speedily, cotton roust I abandoned, to a great extent, in the South era States. We were satisfied, in the le gitime; of the present year, that the ne ceasitiet of our people, Hud their anxiety to recover from their depreaaed pecuniary cod ditioQ, ware misleading them to rik too much upon the peradventure ot making a large cotton crop, tn the neglect of other directly "essential to the preservation of Ule. Thereault ia, that our information leada us t conclude, that tb disaster to all our trope, and the low price of cotton, are en citing the most leerful foreboding a to the future.

No cotton planter, Ml.Jt we hear nf, hope to be reimbursed fully for he oot of culti vatiog the crop he ha made, .from the pres aat crop, at exiating prices. Wat haa lasen picked it represented very ligi;'. and the fear is that the rmp will fall below (..if half of what waa expected. There are two csu-es lor thia. Hitherto, In till Elate, the cotton crop has been re mark ably preserved ffm thediaaateraof rut and veiaiu, which hd frequently de etroyed the crop in the mor Homhcrn Stan.-. Ordinarily, the haaon have been lavoraMe to it cultivation.

OCR POSITION. Our Inend of the Weetcrn Demterul, allu ding to the publication ia the AaiaMaal of Gov. Graham' recent letter, comment upon what he i pleased to term our "reticence," and invite the exprcaaioD of our viewf, "now that Gov. Graham ha apoken," or aomethiug.to thai tfTecL. In, .another , part ol the tame paer i the tateuient, made in term of commendation, that tba Sentiml ha advitrd that there ahonld be no organ ized opposition to tb calling of a Conven tion. The inference, which, we truat, the PemnrriH did not really design, to that tba Editor nf thia paper are prepared to aur- rrndrr their conviction at the bidding of Gov. Graham ('eriainly, there ia no man in North Caro lina for whoae opinion we have higher re pert than for thoae nf the dlatlngulafceil gentleman referred to. Bach ia oar perfect confidence in Lis tagarlty a at at a man, and hi. emlted purity ot character aaamn. tlint we should weigh any eoanael De might give a vrry lorn,- time, lefore opposing our views to tl.c suggestions ot hi rip Judg inent. Rut hope that we are incapable of yielding deliberate and well matured opinion, bcrau i we may happen to find that they are adverse to those entertained by gentlemen to whom we have generally looked up for guidance and direction. Ueally, however, there i but one soli tary point ot difference between Uov. Ura hum and ourselves He think that all li.alinVd men should register, and that they shonld vote against a Convention or not vote at all on that question. We think thai every man, who is entitled to do ao, should rtgtater, but that it will be mistaken policy to make a concerted show of opposi tion to the call of a Convention, cither by action or non-action. In tin first place, we are rrs.isdiid that such an opposition will be useless. There are thousand of Oonser vative men in the State, who cannot be di vea'ed of apprehension growing ottt of the -illy cry of cotifl mion, who will vote fur a Convention , and we do not think that one can be defeated. VVe propose to leave to ev ry man's honust, conscientious convic liou, ol inter. -! and duly, hia course in this nistter . ulide we appeal to all lovers of Constitutional liberty and Union to leave no legitimate im unturned in order to secure t lit u.M-eiidaucy in the Convention. Here cesso the only discrepancy between our owu and Gov Graham's views. In all ele that he says wa heartily cotipur.. We would have the (ouvention, wlien it luwta, frame such a Constitution as would best promote 1 lie honor and interest of North Crolin and enable n'l her people, white and colored, to live in peace and proerily if a Conslilutiop, proacriplive and op pressive in its character, ia attempted to be fastened upon out people, we trust that all good citit-ns will rally, a one man, (as we believe tliey will,) for it rejection ! That ia oar position. A UtOairricitvT YaCT. It ia tared, in our to-day' telegraphic dispatches from Wash ington, that Gen.

EDrrons I thank you for your notice of my article. Do not understand me as urging the Railroad Coinpauiee to alien, don through travel and freight. I inaist, however, they should not sacrifice local trartl mnd local fnighl. The present sebedule on the North Caro lina Railroad (the tiain going East reaching' Kaleigh at 10 A. M., and going West leaving at 81 o'clock, F. M.) give a good opportu nity ol testiug the question. Let our mer chant endeavor to convince persons living in Orange, Alamance, &c, that they cau tare the expenses of a uip to Raleigh in making their Fall and Winter purchases. Let them urge this by advertisements and handbills. Let them explain the convenient arrangement of the new pchedute. Tliey have varied assortments of goods. Let tbera resolve to deal fairly, to give gooxl bargaips anil let the people at a iliMtince know it. My object ia to devtlope a iKi travel. -Tbi should be a cardinal point with the Railroad, Let Mr. Turner agree to fc"" ticket "to Kaleigh and return" at reduced price. The Company will innke by the reduction, because, otherwise, there will be no trarl The same policy could bo i n tended to Charlotte, Salisbury, to. Thia advantageous schedule should lie advertised by the Railroad Company by handbills as well as by the newspapers Two days ago I saw two tadics who hud travelled twelve miles to a depot, thence to Raleigh - back again the same night on purpose to "do their shopping" here These two will inc-ease to hundrtiU and thoutatuU, if the policy I recommend be pur sued, Aad I do hope the Raleigh and Gaston Railro d Company will amend their ached ule in conformity to this policy. Think of two trains leaving Raleigh, hutk in the morn say two trains arriving at Raleigh, both ia tktAing. No man eau come to Raleigh and go away without slaying all night. A mother of a family, residing on this road, cannot come here to buy article for her household, without breaking into her fami ly arrangenieuts can't leave "(he baby" in charge ol a friend and nd a tew hours In the Capital of the Htate ! I can't believe in the Railroad sagacity ot men, who will per aist in this management. Gentlemen, liv ing along the line nf the road, desiring to attend Court in Wake, arc forced to come in their buggies, as in old times. You Editors sre interested in this matter. If people can be induced to vi.it Rnleigh frequently for busirje-ss and pleasure, they will take Raleigh newspapers This is a first-rate centre lor ihe publication of uew--pajMTs The Stntintl ought to be one of the beat supported journals in the country, outside of the great cities. It is not, becaue ol the horrible Railroad schedule-. 1 am not a merchant. Messrs. Editors, bnt I am a citizen of Raleigh, and a Stoc kholder in the two Railroads ainve named. I Ie trr to see the prosperity ol all, and hence I write. Yours truly, PROGRESS. Frcm the Nashville t'nion snd Diapslrh, Oct. J. KHUN O CPA DESPERADO IN TEN NEitiKK. A private letter intoniis us that a noted desperado, by the uame of Bill Si.eniorc, wa killed in itogeisville on the 1 1th. inst,, where he has becu liviug since the war, His career of crime has been an extraordin ary one. At the breaking out of the rebel lion he joined the Confederate nrmy, but soon threw off all discipline and became a aort of independent scout, barraaaing the L olon people terribly, ana be is reported to have killed seventeen Union men during the foray made into the northern portion of upper East Tennessee. Seeing that the Federals were gaining poaaession ot East Tennessee?, and that they would soon con trol the whole ot that section, he deserted and joined the Federal army. Here again he managed to give his bad passions lull away In the capacity ol bushwhacker. His persecution ol nouthcrn sympathizer was more relcntlet and inhuman than of the L'ulon men, and he is said to have murder ed twenty ol them in cold blood. During the last two moths he shot down to men in the street ol Rogersville. The tic-1 on of these w a a Federal soldier by ti e ftaux ol Webster, whose only ofience that be had declared himself a Conserva tive. He was arrested lor the last murder and liounil over to the Circuit Court for trial, some Ktdicala bailing In in t. keep him out of jail. On the 11th. inst., u Inion soldier shot him deail within ten su ps ot where he had killed poor V. e' stei, only a few week ago. No attempt waa made o arrest Willi, for every one lelt that he had performed a praiseworthy act in ridding tne country of the desperado. Hizcmort's body lay in the street nearly an hour Uifore any one would go to the assistance of his wife to take it to his late home. This man Sizemore was a terror to the people ot Haw kins County, and it will be difficult to get a jury in that County who will convict his slayer nf murder. - - Our, Duty. - Let the l ..n-frvhtives , i g anile in every county. Let the ablest and neat tnen eligible Lc selected a candidates and voted for, whether the vote- iosis the Convention either by a dirett vote or by not voting upon the question. No good cilixen, however inditfeieiit be inav l-e in regard to ordinaiy election, c.:, .wi.i to remain from the polls at this one. No mere party contest is to take place, but tlie fun damental law of the Slate and the. continu ed supremacy of tin whites are at suike. Ttlta election lll decide whether N'Wlh Carolina is to be controlled by the virtue, intelligence and character ol the Htate, or by ignorance and corruption whether her ieople are to make lu-i laws, or uuknown strangers to do so whether the owners of Iyer soil and property art- to fashion her lax hills, or those who have no personal interest here are to do si. It is a fearful decision, and it isswe will decide the fate of North Carolina for years to come. It is easy Iq destroy the Constitution and laws we have, but a century may not restore I hem to their present condition ot excel, lemtt the pew and prosperity of the State may lie so clucked by the result that years of labor may be passed in vain en deavors to warm them Into renewed lile !('(!.

The grual fall in cotton seriously sffeet l usine-s prospects in the Hoatb. Tha planter, will i,ol make their expenses, and tlm-e who have rented bind will lose money.

All the expense attending the cotton cu'iuie are double what they were before tlie war. The twelve and a half . ceata a pound which the cotton grower receives will be worth to him but an and a quarter tents, compared with the specie price of 160. It it impossi le that cotton can be made bd tlier season at tbis price. But the prce is still further to dtsjina, as we lua.- (rem ihu state of the cotton trade abrofcd. Easi India and Lgyp'ian cotton will supply the. Liverpool market at lea rates even than the present East India cotton is nnw quoted at J,iv er' I "t sevt npence, end can I t allorded with fair profit i,t f.urience halfpenny. This w ill ch e the Liverpool market against I'nited Sis'is cotton for tbefuturr. Cotton wnl cease lo lie an American staple. With what extraordinary wisdom then did Mr. Mmr II, in bis defence of the cotton tiiT. urg that the cotton culture w the nio-t productive of all product in this countrv, and the moat able ot all to hear uiiiiion. Because cotton wa at thirty cents n' one time, he supposed, perhaps, that it n. u' . never decline, evm in competition uiththe product of India. Any well-informed cotion trader could have told him Utter. Besiibs, he made no allowance, it mi n.s, for the d- Oioraiixation and destruc ,i..n ol black lafior in ihe South. Ii is reported that at Memphis, a great cotion mart, tlie decline ot cotton canses u uch embarrassment, and that many per -or-tl.Me stt.diule il to combination in Liverponl and Niw York againatthe South-, ern S'ates. But it ' appens that the Liverpool end Niw Y'ork cotton trade severely suffer by the do line, ami that many of the dealers lo ti.e -taple are brought by it to the verge of bankruptcy. Large amounts have been lost in Sew Y"i(c. as well as in Liverpool, in sin di nts to sustain the price. I he dry-goods market in New York and (1-eubere feels the cotton decline. Tbe dimes ic and imported goods are selling below cost. Some cotton bring less than thev did before the war, and still tbe tenden cy is downwurd. Cotton fat tors in the South advise plan ters not to bold back their crops in tha hope of a rise of a cent or two a pound, ts there is more likelihood of further decline than ol advance. It ought to be the very first buslnett of Congrrss. at the ensuing teuton, to repeal the co t u tax, and provide for refunding what has been collected upon the crop of '.his season.

Von Feuchtersleben, "we may add that dreams of dogs, ulUr the bite of a mad dog, olten pretede tbu appearance of hydropho bia, but may be only the consequences ot excited imagination." Dr. Forties Win-low quotes seveial en sea in which dreams are said to have hO' n prognostics : "Amutid do Villeneuve dreamt one night that a black cat bit bun on the side. The next day an anthrax appeared on the part bitten. A patient of Oulen's ur. amt that one of hia limb wa changed into stone Borne days after thia leg was parulried.
