The "star and tripff w regard tb em

think respect fr due thai flag, but art incapabl
of understanding how any one can "nmoilwt aa
actual and bouest love for the tr and stripe,"
'or how aucll manifestation cea afford any
proper proof of true loyalty. We hare heard
soldier and sailors (peak la teron of detotion
and admiration of the "old flag," which we
could not appelate, never having been either;
but when wV heard of men, either soldier or
tailors, fighting under that flag la defence , of
the Constitution of the United Bute and the
government, then we could understand and ap
preciate tlieir loyalty. At other times w have
siipoed that the emotions excited by the
floating' of the flag, was simple enthusiasm ex
cited by fts ocitlon, ; Hence, we conclude
that there ! no sui h thing as msnifeting ' no
actual and honest love for th and that
the man who says be thus tore the flag 1 eim-
" ply niistaken, if he ilo not tove and would not
fight to defend and support the constitution of
the United State'. - , ; i , ' -;
-Now, In North srolina, there is. sn Innate,
Inborn love, admiration and devotion to the
principles of the Constitution of the United
Wales, The "rebellion' fierce aa it was, did
not extinguish that love among onr people.
Hence the readme with which they returned
to their fealty and fidelity to th government,
when th results of the war convinced them,
- that disunion was iinpssible.- Noar let the
Register bring forward in good faith its ditlyal
men. Where is the respectable man who doe
not obey the law and the Constitution, who
'floe not renliiy y his taxes ia support of goT
ernuient according to bia ability, and wboTtes"
not repect the government end love the Con
titmioaT ' To make admiration o( or real ai
fiction fur a flug or for its stars and stripes,
tet at, loyalty, would be demanding a mere
ideal proof of loyalty, and which must always
depend upon the' Tanciea or circumstances of
men. A soldier or sailor who fought onder it,
might foci aa siuotioa alcia to it, but to other
it might be Impossible, But th principle of
the Constitution and govifrnntent, whose sove
reignty th flag represents, ar proper object
of love and admiration. There is something
tangible in them, and we- bold that no people
In the Union are more devoted to these princi
ple than the people of North Carolina,
Sovereignty is not that attribute of the gov
ernment that excites love and affection for lt.
It may rxeitn admiration, reverence and fear,
but not love. Display nf the Divine sovereign
ty excite no love in mortal ; being. Wonder,
admiration, awe aad fear ar excited, but no
.totter fuel luv for Oiwl until ha appreciates
the display of the Divine love, placability,
, kindness, forgivenew or nieniy towards his err
ing creature. Bolt is with Hovernmem to-
ward the governed. Lore fra government,.

in the governed, when heU sutinlleil the Kv

and forgiveness toward hiin, and lull protec

Tli Iltgitle?i Idea lnoysltyT therefore,
totally at fault, ar 1 also its clap-trap about
"conciliation." We have shown that iov to a

Now I propose to demonstrate that there is
no crop cultivatid by our farmers, which, for
the time, attention and , land required, wit
equal truit in cbeapues of production and rw:i
ne ! yield. 1 alee for instance tea aorvs
sppie tree, waicn axtt Uitry ) tit apart
will give tjliy (10) trees per acre, or SOif trees on
the tea seres. Alter the filth or sixth year, and
for a year or two longer, it would be sate to cal
culat upon an average of two bushels per tree
snd after, say eight years, five bushel per tre
which, at one dollar ptNyrthel, and five bush
el per tree, would be twenty five bushel. 01
a.t)0 tb return for tea .acre. But if it is
objected that tb yield will not average five
hiudicla, then take balf that amotfnt, snd it
11230. Now what other ten acres of tba farm
in ordinary crops, with the utmost car and
labor, -will render such a profitable return
Next. I will take ten acre in Peach traee
planted 1 leet apart each, way (every good
ditance lor Peaches) will be 150 tree per acre,
or 1500 00 the ten acres, which, after the fourth
year, win yieia an average or one bushel per

ting that we only realist a -eron everr-trther
year, yei wim our laciiilie tor marketing all
our surplus iruii, insteaa 01 one dollar per
bushel, (the price rated at here,) shipped to tb
Northern market, it would be safe to estimate
the price at fly dollar per bushel after paying
expense ror c-y cultivating mainly the early
varietie, they could be marketed North withoat
any competition except trom th State Sooth
of this, so that five dollar per bushel would be
a safe calculation, as the price never descend
belosr that figure until th New Jersey market
com nience sending their croj) iorwariL-- No y
at mat price, 11 only a crop
erst tiered every
intra yesr n would oe an average ot one dollar
9 cents per bushel per annum, or at the . rat
ot fiWtl per year from the ten acre in Peach
Again, let u see what might be with safety
expected trom ten acre In Orape Vine plan
ted feet apart each way will give a few over
1300 vine per acre, or 18,000 to ten, acre, and
after the fourth year aa average of 150 gallon
ot grape jutce, lor making into wine, may M re
lied on, wnicn ia 8300 gallon on th ten acre,
worth in the Northern market $2 to 2 per
gallon, with no more trouble to press than
cider, and amounting at the lowest price ($3
per gallon) to $3,000 a tb return of ten acre
properly planted in vine. , I have Intentionally
put the yield low, for after the sixth or eighth
year an acre ought in good aeaaona to give 5 to
800 gallons per acre, and this last result (800
gallons) has been realised ia Virginia, wlthou
any extr oar or attention.
The ground in th orchard, both ' Apple and
reach, ought to be cultivated, until the trees
shade so much that it will not pay. ia Corn
Tobacco, Sweet or Irish Potatoes, or Peanuts
th two last the beat and afterwards simply
ploughed once or twice a year, not too near the
trees and very sAallow, just to turn under the
weeds, or they might be seeded down in grass
in tne soove list 01 truii 1 nav not mention
ed thepear, which ia now mora profitably cul
tivated North, owing to the high price it com
maiids, than perhap any other variety of
orchard fruits; nor yet the smaller fruits, which,
on account of their extremely profitable return!
