The President's Message. ( a Tuesday, 7th int., President (Jr.mt's message was iaid before 0)i:rt It is a very able and an unusually lengthy document. Upon the subject of our relations with Spain the President takes a digni hid hut tirm position. After re cuntit the continued desolation, ru:n ami pillage incident to the strife in Cuba, the President says : A recognition of the indeen dmve of Cuba being in my opinion impracticable and indefensible, the qimtiou which next presents it vlt is that of the recognition of belligerent rights in the parties to the contest. " "The recognition of independence or of hi lligeieacy Uin" thus in my judgment equal- Iv inadmissible, it remains to con sider what coarse shall Ik) adopted. Sh-tuld the contlict not sum be brought to an end by acts of the parties th motives, and should the evils which result therefrom, afftct in;r all nations, and particularly the lnibd States, con tin tie, in such event, I am of opinion ihat other nations will be compiled to as sume the responsibility which de volves upon them and to seriously .n- der le only remumiiiir meis-urt- ; s-ii'le, in diti.' Mod in'er vt u: mil." Alter furiher statement, li -ays, "at the same time, while t f i it- 'unpriced, I do out ;t this time recommend th adoption of iiiiv imauie of intervention." He ids, "p. rsuaded, howi-vi r, that a j pruT re.ini I r uit- sniere? in the I'uitett SMts and of its citizens entitle it to relief from the strain to which it has been subjected by the dilhvultle of the i ius tions and ; "M!'g :i lid looses uhirh arise lr:ti the ci-nte-a in Cuba, arid that the intenM- of humaciiy itelf de m iml the c ss ttion of the strife be f re the whole Nl.md slutll be laid w:s-t' and larger sacrifices of life be mailt-, I ri:ill fe 1 it my duty, should my lio- ol a ?at i?bctoi y ao'just r;: H: and of the early restoration of ; . -..ee and the r moval i f future sum of complaint urdiajipily oi-appointtd, to make a further t mniuriii . ation to Congress at some p-ii-nl not fur remote and during the prtsmt s-sioii, recwiiini. ending what may tbtn seem to me to ta-ceary." The President recommends a con stitutional amendment making it the duty of each State to establish and forever maintain free public m ho;ds adequate to the education of a!i hildren in rudimentary branch es, irrespective of sex, color, birth place or religion, A". The resump tion of .-pecie payments, Mexican tro i! Ics, and other matters, are re ferred to uith appropriate recom mendations.

The woid "greedy" hardly expresses it. For years before their attempt at seces sion, they were in a continual stir about the loaves and fishes, and finding that one government could not furnish enough soft places to gratify their inordinate thirst, they would, if they could, have divided the American Union into a dozen petty independent States merely fr the purpose of furnishing their ambitious leaders with pap. It is really ludicrous to witness their rush for office, especially as some of the very fellows who are now so desirous of serving their country Would have scorned a few years ago to take any place under what they Were pleased to term the 44 Yankee iovernrnent." jt surely is a proof of the clemency of ou? Republic when such men are even allowed the privilege of being again entrust ed with'any department of the Gov ernment. The present IIousj of Representatives ms been aptly etyled th'e "Confederate House." If they fail to do sqmethiijjg by which old sores will be opened afresh, we shall be agreeably dis appointed. The people will watch lre:n closely, with a frequent recur rence to the old proverb, that "a tiumt child is afraid of the fire." The proceedings of the Chatham county Republican Convention r-ri unavoidably deferred till our next. James M. Leach, alias " virtuous J Jimmy," the same who was sent away from Davidson during the late campaign to prevent that coun ty going Republican, and whose filthy talk caused such Democratic losses In Sampson, is swinging around the circle making sycophan tic speeches in hopes of the guber natorial nomination next year. On Tuesday of Court week this braggart made a speech at Winston, Forsythe county, which was char acterized by his usual blarney. For the Information of those who don't know "Jimmy" we give the fol lowing extract from the Winston Republican : We wTill just say, for the infor mation of all such, that Leach is one of the candidates, in prospectuy of the Democratic party for the of fice of Governor. That is, as many as one newspaper has canvassed his claims. And as he is not wholly devoid of that common frailty of mankind, vanity, his party advis ers, in this part of the political vineyard, thinking him the first man, and the occasion a fit time to say a wora in oenaii or tne late uan- sorn, Itobeson and Martin county fraudulent Convention, had him to blaze away. He, thinking to make a conciliatory speech, Leach's pros pects for Governor could not be nurt, and the managers in behalf of the Convention fraud, hoping that something to the advantage of this Democratic pet might reach the minds of the people of the country. We have made this observation of this speech simply to put the people ol this county on guard, es pecially Republicans. For the next twelve mouths, as General Leach stated, the very foundations of party a d politics will be raised. We ask the people to read, mark, and learn for themselves." The Greensboro Xtic North State has completed its fourth volume. With an experience of four yearsin the management of the political col umns of his paper, Bro. Ball expects to do better next year than ever be fore, and hopes the Republicans of that section will give him encour agement by increasing the circula tion of his journal. For the benefit of those who think Republican ed itors and printers 44 make a good thing" of their calling, we will state that Mr. Bill has not made much money. This complaint has to be made by the conductor of eve ry Republican paper in the State. There are, in every place in North Carolina in which a Republican pa per is printed, positions within the gift of our party which the publish ers of Republican papers could fill, and these should bo bestowed upon them, thereby enabliug them to live. It is very important for Re publicans to have newspapers, but, as our Greensboro ally remarks, 44 they cannot expect papers can, or will, be sustained for the benefit of the party, unless the party comes forward to their support." The Era calls Hissell a fraud and Ransom a traitor. These gentlemen are too far removed in the social, moral and intellectual scale, from this foul mouthed slanderer, to be affected by slurs from such a source. Roanoke News. It may be that " these gentle men " are so low in the 44 social scale" that no rebuke will reach their degraded consciences. Per haps this is what the little "pro vincial" tditor of the News means. This Neics fellow must have been eating heartilv of Roanoke crabs. We never knew him to rouse up be-1 fore. Perhaps Hansom has made him a present of one of the sugar dishes he received for his treachery, or, what is still more likely, maybe oal i4 fraud Ilassell " has promised him a few subscribers from his sec tion. We hope this notice from the Era won't make the 44 piny woods" editor vain. We don't want him to brag because the Era has noticed l.im once. More leiuocratic Kascality. W. M. Tweed, alias Boss Tweed, the great Democratic thief of New ? York city, has escaped from prison and is now at large. It is sus pected that some of the Tammany Rlngaided in his flight.The fact that the State Legislature will be largely Republican has scared the scoun drels, and this escape of Tweed was planned no doubt to prevent furth er developments of plunder. Tweed only stole some twenty millions, Which Is a small matter in com par- ison with Jcf? Davis ant hjs asso- dates during the war.

He will be at the Centennial. Agricultural Ueport. We give below such extracts from the monthly Report of the Agricul tural and Statistical Bureau at Washington, for October, 1875, as we think will prove of interest to our farmers. We have heretofore suggested the propriety of our lead ing agriculturists in each county of the State corresponding with the Commissioner at Wahiugt on, Hon. Frederick Watts, giving general in formation in relation to the crops, prospects, S:c. Nothing is better calculated to bring North Carolina prominently to the notice of emi grants than such a course. The report of the wheat crop from our Stale is as follows: Wheat. Greene: Much more damaged than was expected when harvested. Hertford: The absence of oar old enemy, rust, resulted in a better crop of wheat than usual. Person: Damaged in the stack. Yancy : All more or less injured in the shock. Cor ;. Forsyth : Very fine ; worth 50 cents per bushel. Gaston: Good on upland and exceedingly good on well-drained low grounds. Pasquotank: Very much injured by the excessive rain, yet average. Tyrrell : The heaviest and best crop for years; the ears filled to the ut most. Chowan : The best crop for years. Franklin : Unusually good. Wilson: Improved in September. Hertford : The best crop since 1860. Pamlico : Most excellent. Person: Very fine ; on uplands the heaviest yield ever known. Union : Prom ise of the largest crop in twenty years. Camden : Not as good as August promised. Anson: Cutoff on the bottoms by alternate rains and droughts. Caldwell: The rains have delayed the ripening of much of it, and the crop is yet uncertain. Duplin: Will not make more than half a crop on sandy land; better on stiff land. Rye. Greene : More damage than was expected when harvested. Oats. Hertford : Almost de stroyed by drought. Person : Bad ly damaged in the stack by rains. Cotton. Gaston : The growth of the plant fair, and the fruitage ex ceedingly good. Lincoln : The sea son was never more favorable for the crop. Pasquotank : The crop at least 25 per cent, short. Nash : Rusted badly in some localities. Pitt: Picking progresses favorably. YTilson : Did not improve in Sep tember, owing to rust and cool weather. Greene : The rust appear ing the 1st of September, spread rapidly, and caused all the late forms and young bolls to drop off. Hertford: Injured by excessive moisture, causing great growth of weed and but little fruit. Wake: The fiber is short, and the yield 'of lint to the quantity of seed-cotton unusually small. Camden : Not as good as August promised. Sep tember.too cool. Anson : Shed forms badly. Haywood : Very short and light, and indicates inferior quality. Mitchell : Too much rain for corn ; very light. Duplin : Wiil not make more than half a crop on san dy land; better on stiff lands. Fully one-half has been picked out. Edge combe: Some improvement since the last report. Tobacco. Caswell : The curing has been generally successful, re sulting in a larger quantity of yellow-leaf than usual, but poor in quality deficient in oil. Davie : The weather has been remarkably fine for cutting and Curing. Per son : The great staple of this county will be of fine texture, and farmers have succeeded splendidly in coal curing for bright wrappers. Union : The quantity produced yet small, but increasing from year to year. Haywood : Very fine. It will bo seen that the returns from North Carolina embrace only a very few counties. We sincerely hope our farmers will correspond more freelv hereafter.

I regret that it is so, but so it is," Considering the possibility (rath er remote it is true) of the acquisi tion of Cuba by the United States, it may be interesting to view the ground where our possessions lie perhaps. The much-coveted island measures fully 750 miles in length and a little more than 40 in average breadth, with an area of 30,000 square miles. The harbors of Hav ana, Matarvzas and Santiago are among the best in the world. Be ginning from the southeast the Cop per Mountains run nearly the whole length of the island, culminating in an altitude of 6,890 feet. The culti vated portions of the lower tracts produce abundantly corn, rice.yams, bananas, sugar, coffee, tobacco, cot ton, cocoa and indigo ; while the uncultivated districts in the rear have countless herds of cattle. The elevated regions of the Copper Mountains, besides teeming with the metal from which they derive their name, and here and there pro ducing gold, silver and iron, are covered with dense forests, in which, besides ship-building tim ber, palms, plaintain and mahogany are conspicuous. In 1850 the popu- lation numbered 564,698 whites, 216,176 free people of color, and 662, 587 slaves. Tho productiveness of the island may be inferred when it is stated that her exports in 1855 amounted to 7,395,600. Washing ton Star. It is estimated at Washington that in 420 years more America will be without fuel. A good many of us will be dead by that time, and some will have no cause to com plain of lack .of heat. official.
