Plain Words.
Nine years ago, caro-wora and
disheartened, General Lee surren
dered the remnant of his beselged
army to the victorious hosts of the
Union. With a magnanimity rarely
equalled in a war between estab
lished nationalities, and never by
any nation engaged in putting down
a rebellion against its rightful au
thority, the General of the Union
armies allowed the conquered to
repair unpunished to the peaceful
pursuits of life, and aided them to
the extent of Disability in returning
to their friends and firesides. From
that day to the present time, no
vengeance has been visited upon the
leaders in a movement which cost
the country thousands of lives, mil
lions of money and entailed upon us
and our children the legacy of on
erous taxation. On the contrary,
the Government and people of the
United States, calling to mind the
memories of the p:ist, cherishing
the recollections which had from the
incipiency of the Ilepublic bound
us together in a common brother
hood, extended the right hand of
fellowship, and have shown every
disposition to obliterate and heal all
differences engendered by the un
fortunate contest. The Government
has clearly exhibited its endorse
ment of the memorable announce
ment of our martyred President,
that in his efforts to restore the unity
of the Government he would be
governed by no selfish considera
tions ; but that, he would pursue the
course clearly pointed out to him by
the Constitution of the country,
41 with malice toward none and with
charity for ail."
With intelligent and reasonable
men, who it is generally admitted
were most agreeably disappointed
at .the leniency of the Government,
and many of whom, conscious of the
enormity of their crimes, looked
forward with fear and trembling to
punishment at least to the extent of
the loss of their landed estates, this
unexpected generosity should have
had the effect of at least causing
deep deliberation before again being
the instruments of agitation, discord
and consequent anarchy. Such, how
ever, has not been the case ; but, on
the contrary, emboldened by the
non-infliction of any severe meas
ures on the part of the Government,
they have, and are now, in many
parts of the country, endeavoring
by secret combinations to effect
what they failed to accomplish in
the open field. In 1SG0, the public
mind was inflamed to the point of
resistance by the mere election of a
President, even before that officer
had taken the oath of office; and
44 Our failure in the late election is
owing to two facts, to-wit, want of
organization? and corruption at the
centre. This corruption at the cen
tre I mean at Italeigh consists
of unfaithfulness of certain so-called
Republicans, who to advance per
sonal ends, sowed the seeds of dis
cord early in the campaign, by
ignoring party usages and party
discipline. We should
purge our ranks of dissenters and
strife breeders; we should recognize
only such an influence at the centre
as we may know to be orthodox Re
publican." The foregoing Is extracted from
the letter of a correspondent of the
Xevv-Rerne Times, who signs him
self 44 Old Warren," though we
think we detect the ear-marks of
one nearer home.
The term "so-called Republi
cans " is here applied to men whose
Republicanism is as sound in every
particular a3 that of the gentleman
afflicted with an 44 itching palm,"
and for no other reason than because
they saw proper to fight 44 corruption
at the centre." Those who made
this fight are now told in sepulchral
tones, that they are 44 under the
ban " !
But we are not disposed to renew
the agitation of questions which
were pertinent only to a particular
campaign. It is sufficient for us to
reiterate the belief that the Era
having adhered With strict devotion
to the principles of the party has
already received the endorsement of
all right-thinking men, and events
daily occurring do but prove that
time will not only sustain but en
title us to the gratitude of all true
and honest Republicans.
We are happy in the belief that
the Era wields an 44 influence" not
to be successfully assailed by the
apologists of rascality at the Centre
or other portions of North Carolina.
This paper, conducted in its every
part by "orthodox" Republicans,
has nothing in the past to regret.
As an evidence of some of the good
results accruing to the Republican
party from the course pursued by
the Era, we can point to the fact
that the Washington Republican, a
paier that at first was misled as to
the true condidion of affairs which
gave rise to the late contest at the
Centre, is now among the foremost
to urge upon the party generally the
selection of honest men only for of
ficial advancement. We might pur
sue this subject farther, with addi
tional evidences of overwhelming
endorsement, but desist for the
present ; and the declaration of the
Times, that it does not endorse all
44 Old Warren " has to say, ought to
be understood as a commanding of
the peace.
F1'
I am now receiving
WINTER stock of
bill,
will
the
now, similar efforts are being made
to rouse up an entire section of the
Union on the frivolous pretext that
the Congress of the nation will
probably pass the civil rights
and that the bill, if passed,
operate disadvantageously to
Southern ieoplcr With the same
degree of madness, these men would
again plunge thecountry intoa civil
war, the horrors of which would
vastly surpass the one through
which we have so lately passed.
Now, we wish to call the atten
tion of these belligerent hotspurs to
a fact which will, perhaps, have
some tendency towards cooling their
heated passions. In 1SG0, the Pres
idential chair was unfortunately oc
cupied by one who, whatever may
have been his attainments as a pub
lic man (and they wert many) had
for years been identified politically
with that class of Northern poli
ticians who, if they did not con
scientiously endorse, at least acqui
esced in, all of the infringements of
the slave power, and who for years
previous, had been accustomed to
concede to the South that influence
in the affairs of the Government
which its most ardent advocates
claimed. Imbued with these ideas,
President Buchanan pursued a jol
icy which for weakness and inde
cision must forever remain a blot
upon his official life.
Now, how stands the case ? We
say to these malcontents that in the
person of U. S. G RANT the count ry
has a Chief Magistrate who will
shrink from no duty when the lives
or property of any portion of the
people of the Republic are endan
gered. The scene at Appomattox
Court House attests his magnanim
ity to the conquered ; but if out
rage and Insult prevail where law
and order should exist, as thesworn
Kxecutive officer of the Govern
ment, he will teach the ungrateful
recipients of his country's mercy
that the sword of Justice can be
brought into action when overtures
of kindness and conciliation are re
jected. General Grant has said,
Life and property thall be protect
ed, AND OUTRAGES MUST CEASE."
He means it.
Hon. Henry L. Dawes, upon tak
ing the chair as President of the
late Massachusetts State Republi
can Convention, delivered an able
speech, in the course of which he
said :
44No taint of corruption in office
will go unpunished ; no unfaithful
ness in public trust will be permit
ted to escape accountability, never
imitating that Pharisaical spirit
which contents ittelf with loud de
nunciations of corruption and crime
in others, while carefully conceal
ing its own defaults.
Republicanism probes its own sores
and grows strong thereby plucks
out its own offending members,
wherever they may be, and casts
them from the public service."
The Chicken in the Ejrg.
The hen has scarcely sat on her
eggs twelve hours before some linea
ments of the head and body of the
chicken appear. The heart may be
seen to beat at the end of the second
day ; it has at that time somewhat
the form of a horse shoe, but no
blood yet appears. At the end of
two days two vessels of blood are to
be distinguished, the pulsation of
which is visable; one of these is the
left ventricle, and the other the roof
of the great artery. At the fiftieth
hour one auricle of the heart ap
jears, resembling a noose folded
down upon itself. The beating of
the heart is first observed in the au
ricle, and afterwards in the ventri
cle. At the end of seventy hours
the wings are distinguishable; and
on the head two bubbles are seen for
the brain, one for the bill, and two
for the fore and hind part of the
head. Towards the end of the fourth
day, the two auricles already visible
draw nearer to the heart than be
fore. The liver appears towards the
fifth day. At the end of seven hours
more, the lungs and the stomach
Income visible, and four hours af
terwards the intestines, loins, and
the upper jaw. At the one hundred
and forty-fourth hour, two ventri
cles are visible, and two drops of
blood instead of the single one which
was seen before. The seventh day,
the brain beerins to have some con-
sistencv. At the one hundredth and
nineteenth hour of incubation, the
bill opens, and the flesh appears in
the breast. In four hours more, the BOOTS, SHOES,
breast-bone is seen. In six hours
after this, the ribs appear, forming
. m . t 1 I
lrom tne bacK, ana tne uiu is very
visible, as well as the gall-bladder.
The bill becomes green at the end of
two hundred and thirty-six nours
and if the chicken be taken out of
its covering, it evidently moves it
self. At the two hundred and sixty
ffinrth hour, the eves appear. At
the two hundred and eighty-eighth,
tharihaare ne-rfect. At the three
hundred ami thirty-first, the spleen
draws near the stomach, and the
lunw to the chest. At the end of
three hundred and fifty-five hours,
the bill frequently opens and shuts;
at the end of the eighteenth day,
the first cry of the chicken is heard.
It afterward gets more strength and
grows continually, till at length it
is enabled to set itself free from its
confinement. Sturm's Reflections.

We wish that every young man
in the South could read the follow
ing article and would profit by the
excellent advice given :
Idleness. Much of the trouble
complained of by the South is
directly traceable to idleness on the
part of its young men. We have
enough of it at the North, but
throughout the recent slave States
it is little short of a blight and a
curse. The old time notions about
labor still prevail to a large extent.
Physical work, is deemed degrading
and below thedignity of gentlemen.
To use the shovel and the hoe ; to
follow the plow or drive a team, is
to lower one's self to the level of the
slave. Anything but honest work!
Young men who would scorn to soil
their hands in earnest endeavor to
till the soil, or in trying to become
skilled mechanics, are willing to
unite with the White Leagues,
parade all day in their ranks, and
ride all night to perpetrate outrages
on the race they hate. The man
who works for a living, black or
white, is an object of contempt to
these patrons of idleness. They see
the sceptre of power departing from
them ; they see their former posses
sions going into the hands of those
who believe in hard work ; they
feel that they are growing poorer
daily ; and instead of throwing off
their coats and rolling up their
sleeves for an earnest competition
in the fields of industry, they strive
in vain to stem the tide that is bear
ing them down to ruin by a hope
less war on the industrial class that
stands in their way. Can not some
true friend of the South arouse
these young men to the certain
danger which confronts them ? Idle
ness leads to vice, and vice ends in
destruction. There is a bright
future for the South. Her cup of
prosperity will in time be filled to
t ft W rf
overflowing, it ner young men
would drink from the cup, and be
found in the van of her new civili
zation, they must turn their backs
on the foolish leagues that lead them
to evil, and face, like men, the re
sponsibilities of labor. Industry
can soon relieve the South of its
burdens; idleness, if longer prac
ticed, will add to them. Washing'

To the Holders of Bonds and Scrip
of the City of Raleigh.
Anxious to do something for the ie
lief of the creditors of the city, ami to
shape the debt that the interest will be
promptly paid, for several months the
Board of City Commissioners have had
the subject under consideration, and
have enacted the following oidinanceas
the result of their labors.
Every tax payer is interested in the
financial welfare of the city as much so
as the Commissioners, and every one
should gfve their hearty co-operation to
any measure calculated to relieve the
city fronits present embarrassments,
and place it upon a safe financial basis.
We therefore appeal to our citizens who
hold city! scrip and overdue bouds, to
come forward and exchange the same
for the new bonds authorized by this
ordinance. Without the aid of tho
creditors of the city nothing can be
done, but with their assistance the city
debt can be so arranged that, with ju
dicious management in tho future, the
interest ban be promptly paid every six
months,; and tho bonds met at maturity.
We respectfully appeal to our citizens
to come forward and aid us in carrying
out the ( provisions of this ordinance,
which has been passed in good faith,
and with a sincere hope that it will meet
the views of the public generally.

AN ORDINANCE FOR THE FUNDING OF
THE CITY SCRIP, AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES.
Whereas, Prudence and ecnomy, as
also a due regard for the interest of the
creditors of the city and the protection
of its future credit, urgently demand
that the amount of the funded and pre
sent unfunded or scrip debt, should be
accurately ascertained, and some plan
devised for the ultimate payment of the
same :
And whereas, It is the desire and in
tention of the Board, by a rigid system
of economy, to reduce expenses to the
smallest practicable amount, consonant
with a safe and faithful administration
of the city government, and to apply
every cent not necessary to defray
those expenses in payment of the in
debtedness of the city ; and so far as in
the power of the Board, it is their in
tention to restrict the issue of scrip to
the smallest amount, and to discontinue
the same as soon as possible so as to
protect from loss the honest employees
of the city. Now, therefore,
Sec. 1. ' Be it ordained, That there
shall be prepared under the supervision
of the Mayor and Treasurer, bonds of
the City of Raleigh, of the denomina
tions of $50, $100, and $500, bearing in
terest at the rate of eight per centum per
annum, payable semi-annually, and of
an amount sufficient to meet the re
quirements of this ordinance ; and
such bonds shall bo under the Sealf
the City of Raleigh, signed by the May
or and countersigned by the Treasurer,
and shall be issued as provided for in
section three of this ordinance.
Sec. 2. Be it further ordained, That
the bonds authorized by the foregoing
section shall be dated on the first day of
the month next succeeding their issue,
one-fourth of which shall be payable
one year! after date, one-fourth two
years after date, and one half three
years alter date ; ana eacn ana every
holder of the scrip or warrants on the
City Treasurer, or of bonds now due,
or which inay become due, when pre
sented in amounts of $50 and upwards,
shall be entitled to exchange the same
for the bonds authorized to be issued by
this ordinance ; and whenever present
ed in sums of a less amount than fifty
dollars, the holder or holders thereof,
shall receive therefor a certificate of in
debtedness, in such form as may be
prescribed, bearing interest as tho bonds
above provided, dated in the same man
