Something like new life seems to be getting into the people in re gard to railroads, as there are prop ositions to build the same East and West.

Thorh advertised to be a dis tillers' meeting at Wilmington in October. Let some one make a note of their politics. It Is fair to say that nino-tenths of them will be Nasby Democrats. The Statesville American says it Is so In that sec tion of the Stale. Whbfy and ku kluxism are kindred ioison3, which are both distilled by Democracy. Come out of that business, my Re publican friend, says a person at our elbow, it is the wrong pew for you to be in, and engage in some other trade Leave the fire-water to Democracy and the ku klux. The Elizabeth Carolinian very truly says: "We telieve in the gospel of Progress. The spirit that is full of lite and energy ana activity is mucn more congenial to us than the over cautious which looks with sus picion upon everything and every body that refuses to be bound down to the Procrustean bed of Old Fogy- t ism. Towns and communities are always more benenttea oy tne men who are a little too last than they are by those who are forever pull ing back. Therefore when public spirit and public enterprise are evinced, let everyone do what they can to encourage rather than to crush." There has been a noiao made recently concerning CBesarism by the New York Herald and a few sensational papers. Now look at the facts. When the moneyed men of New York In their agony of de spair, without regard to party, lately implored the President to violet tb lmw for tkir relief, and vbM aucb man aa Beverdy John son approved iba policy aa an ulti matum. Grant said no, and stood by It. A man who thus reverences law, will not commit treason or be beguiled by the visions of strata pern and spoils. Will the sensa tional press make a note of this and crawfish accordingly? The organization of the Repub lican party In this State will have to be revised next spring at the va rious County Conventions. Let our friends look out and put their houses in order. None but good liien should stand guard, and the young and active should be given a prominent place. It is the policy of tho party to put them forward. And it is the true line of action. So come on. young man, there- is a chance for your energy, activity and brain to have a fair show for them 'selves, in an open field, and not under the lead of the apron-strings of some old grandaddy long lezs. who has been worn oat politically for twenty years. This is the field which has .been opened to you progress, advance ment, to do something for your fellow-man. It makes our heart warm within us to see a young mind dedicate its powers to this cause. Come on. There is the hand of fellowship for you and a suit of ImiMvivw; rmor against the day of battle. Young man, keep itep to the music of the Union. The Wilmincrton Post contains the following reflections concern ing the panic : " We are of the opinion that the present squall among our (leading bankers, although at present very inconvenient and . greatly detri mental to business, will prove ben eficial in the loner run. It will have the effect of rjreventlne wholesale speculations and the tying up of such vast quantities 01 money to the detriment of legitimate trade. When the excitement dies down a little,' and capitalist always the most excitable men on earth look about and find themselves more frightened than hurt, we expect to chronicle a return to easy times. The excitement now seems to be at its height, and in ail human proba bility must soon decrease." We trust that our farmers who are coming to the Fair, will come for a two-fold object and pursue both in a systematic way first, to learn something and to teach some thing also to their fellow farmers ; and second, to enjoy themselves reasonably, but not to yield too much to this spirit to the exclusion of the useful side of the institution. And the latter clause is very impor tant, because they will become dis gusted with side-shows after a while and go back on the Fair itself, just as they have done out W est in so many instances. To be amused and to learn is the object and the latter is of far more importance. The last Qeaveland Banner con tains an editorial on the speech of Hon. Mr. Allen, Democratic candi date for Governor of Ohio, who had said that lw-w opposed. ,fc Grant . . t a 9 v because be nau appointed reuua m office, who bad nbrued their bands fn NVu-thprn blood. The JSanner RflVS 1 f , Al ten was a supporter of Mr. Greelev for President last year, and no doubt. Joined in all honied words of reconciliation ana peace, with which it was thought me South would be all urea into tne support of the Greeley movement. Finding, that that movement was a sham and a shameful failure, Mr. ahpti and other politicians are now ftiit-TTpmdiner Herod In their vin- dictiveness towards the people of the South. Such conduct is in keeping with the course of these Democratic politicians of the North, for the last twelve years." The Banner then scathingly re views the promises of the Northern Democracy, and concludes as fol lows: " How long will the people of all parties, for whose benefit ana pro tection this Government was insti tuted, allow themselves to De dragged through the mire ana slough of filthy politics, for the benefit and promotion of a few selfish, corrupt leaders." This is well said. And Just so soon as the oia ueiuucs wuwtu utterly annihilated, just so soon will the better spirits of that party come to the front for reform. The Panic During the last eight or ten days some portions of the country have been thrown into great excitement by a momentary panic which at one time threatened the most disastri ous consequences. Wall street has witnessed nothing like it since the memorable Black Friday a few years since, xuo urui v Cooke & Co., was one of the largest and most reliable houses on the con tinent, and it . controlled many I . . I 1 V. I IVU nraAftkW Vooa to It rail loan and tne demands of its depositors, was caused by enor mous advances in currency made to the Central Pacific Railroad, of which thev were the financial - - or agents. These advances were made with the confident expectation that sales of bonds could be affected last enough and at sufficient rates to re imburse the firm, and enable them trt mpct at all times any demands from depositors or others for cur rency. The calls for the bonds fell off, suspicion became aroused, an extraordinary run was inadeupon the house, and the consequence was a want of currency compelled them either to suspend payment or to sell securities at an enormous sacrifice. They chose the former course, both Injustice to themselves and their creditors. The failure of this house caused a general suspl don of others, and the result was an unusual run upon all the princi pal brokers and bankers in New York. The news spread from city to city and the alarm was wide spread. The state of affairs became known at Washington. The gov ern mpn t determined to go into the market and buy an unlimited quan tlty of bonds and in this manner re- nvft the scarcitv of currency. This action has acted like a charm and at our latest accounts the storm had very nearly or quite blown over. A Republican Administration at Washington headed by Urant hus aaain saved the country, uunng the entire excitement, the people of North Carolina have remained quiet spectators of the scene, no unusual pre wura has axinted in our mooted Institution, no extra de mand have been made upon them, and consequently no suspensions have as yet taken place. In Ral eigh our monled men have acted as North Carolinians always act in great emergencies, with calmness and dignity. They seemed to com prehend at once the situation, and Instead of the bedlamite confusion that has existed in Richmond, Pe tersburg and other Southern cities, our citizens have conducted them selves in tne most quiet manner. As an instance of the perfect feel ing of security that prevails in the city we heard one of our wealthy citizens remark a few days ago that he not only had refrained from drawing on his deposits in bank but he had deposited every availa ble dollar he could get hold of to bolster up the institution. This Is the feeling that has pervaded our entire community during the panic. Had it been otherwise the most disastrious consequences might have followed. There Is another view of this matter we wish to im press upon oar people. Seme of our citizens, In the hope of obtaining higher rates of Interest are in the habit of depositing their money in the banks of New York, Pennsyl vania, Virginia and other States. Let this be a warning to all such. It, is better to risk your money within the control of those who live among us at a suro rate of interest even though It be low, than to have your minds continually disturbed with serious anticipations. The banks of North Carolina are as safe as any in the country, and are pre sided over by as prudent financiers and as honest men as those of any other State. Their action in the present state of affairs deserves the highest commendation. Let us hope that good may be the result of this entire matter, and that with renewed exertion we may soon witness increased prosperity throughout the entire land. " ' To Your Places, Men! The Era is frequently reminded, when it hears Southern men mak ing all manner of complaint against the government of the United States, and criticising the manage ment of the financial, industrial. material and political interests of the country, of a story that is told of a sarcastic Frenchman, who, upon hearing a discourteous Englishman reviling the character of Napoleon Bonaparte, retorted with polite se verity, " Morbleau ! Ef ze Emperor vas only to know how poor is ze opinion entertained of him by the ze foreign gentleman, how unhappy would ze Emperor be made to feel !" When it is taken into account how small a portion of the whole country is comprised in the limits of the late Southern Confederacy, and then when the additional re flection is indulged, that the party of " virtue, wealth and intelligence" constitutes so small a ratio of the population of that area of territory, It may well provoke a smile of de risive Contempt that there are so many iools who, living in the Past, unappreciative of the growth of Ihe country in population and opulence, still hug to their bosoms the de lusive idea that they and their cliques are entitled to have domi nance in the counsels of the country, and that unless their voices are heeded nothing but utter ruin can possibly result. If the leaders or masses of the Disunion Democracy at the South, were capable of thinking or reason ing, we would invite their attention to the new maps of ' the great North West and the Pacific Slope," and would challenge examination of the statistical tables of the last census, from which they would learn how insignificant a factor in the problem of American Industry the South has become, commercially as well as politically. Then, per haps, the surpassing genius that distinguishes the great party of " virtue, wealth and intelligence" at the South would be impressible enough to receive and appreciate the foremost political truth of tho decade that the future of the coun try, its prosperity as well as its per manence as the exemplar of free in stitutions, depends rather upon the patriotism, energy and achieve ments of the people of the North and West than upon the restoration of discontented Southern dema gogues to leadership in the political measures of the nation. Another lesson has been taught by the Incidents of the last decade : that the South has been growing poorer and less influential morally, politically and materially, year by year, while the North has been growing more populous, more opu- 1 lest, smcl snore powerful In ewy field of human enterprise, whether physical, intellectual or ethical, and, at last, is as independent of the South as is England of Canada or India. Indeed, the North now, with its immense capital and inex haustible store of practical financial wisdom, has grown to be absolutely necessary to this section ; while the South, through the blindness of an unparalleled political stupidity, has every day done more and more to excite the disfavor of the people upon whom it depeuds for very life, disgusting its only possible benefactor with its ungrateful folly, and putting off longer and longer the coming of the only sort of inde pendence that can ever be benefi cial that which would .spring from additions to its population and wealth, and the full development of its unemployed and now worth less material resources. The steady growth of the North is due to its steadfast adherence to the Union, and that vigorous cham pion of progress the Republican party. The steady decline of South ern prosperity, or its failure to lead in the battle for pre-eminence in riches, may be, on the other hand, attributed to the insane opposition of the elements of ' virtue, wealth and intelligence" to that party. It has given the North its greatness. Disunion Democracy has given the South the " dead sea fruits" pov erty and reproach. The sooner those truly sincere Southern men, who have really at heart the perpetuation of republican institutions, the welfare of the country at large, and the South es pecially, and who honestly--deaire to co-operate with a party that can effectually assist in restoring South ern prosperity and avert all dan gers of anarchy or imperialism, so often predicted by Disunion Demo eratre leaders and newspapers fis not the wish with them the father to the thought ?) the sooner such men leave the evil-bent organiza tion to which they now yield alle giance, and come to the succor of the peace-loving, prosperity-achieving Republican party, the sooner may they hope for such treasures of propitious fortune as have fallen to the lot of the North and West to be poured into their laps. O men of North Carolina! you who were violently torn from your homes and carried with unwilling footsteps and reluctant hearts, to battle in a cause from which you turned with revolting and dissatis faction; you who have learned in a severe school of bitter experience how blessed is peace and how ter rible is war; you-who appreciate the inestimable value of the Union, and the Incalculable evils of Dis union ; you who "were the faithful Union men in lS61-'3-'3'-4, return to the standard . from which jou have been seduced by misrepre sentations or allured by unfulfill ed promises, and again "keeping step to the music of the Union," engage under the Republican ban ner in the struggle for Right,' Jus tice, Equality and Truth.' " " from The Era of July 31st published a communication over the name of Solomon Pool, President Of the University, which contains the fol lowing statement, to-wit : " With the viewof arresting these rreqaent wrongs. It was deemed best to Indict the offenders : and it was done, ihe parents of one of these boys stated, not upon oath. that the boy" was only nine and a half years old, and his name was stricJcen from the bill of indictment. Prof. Mclver testified upon oath that the others who' were in and upon the East building where there under, authority from him. and they, were discharged. If the vil lage boys who are caught in and upon the buildine are to be thus shielded, 1 cannot be justly held re sponsible lor the damages done'by mem." .... . t For the purpose of correcting this statement, I published, In full, the proceedings and evidence had , on the warrant which Mr. Pool calls the bill of indictment." Mr.' James B. Mason publishes a communication in the Era of Sept. 18th, in which he says that I had published "the proceedings and part of the evidence" in the case, and in confirmation of this, he publishes a certificate signed by Messrs. Jones Watson and J. M. Alexander, to the effect that I staled that I had authority over the property belong ing to the University by virtue of the office of Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, and -that it wasJ The University A Letter Mr. Ulclver. To the Editor of the Era -; . ( Ilarmon's name was stricken from the warrant before the trial began. The other defendants had no con nection whatever with Harmon's entering the University Library. As soon as the question was asked in reference to it, it was objected to, for the reason that Harmon was not on trial. Mr." Mason then stated that the key of one of the Univer sity Library doors had been taken out, and that he wished to find out where it was. I told him that 'I. had it; that Harmon had entered the University Library through a window, had found the key, un locked the door, came out and lock ed it again, and carried the key to the house and gave it to his mother, and that I had it. I would have told Mr. Mason this at any time. It occurred but a short time previous to the trial, and I had not seen Mr, Mason after it occurred till I saw him at the trial. All this, however,! naa noimng 10 uo wiin wie triai. It was a mere outside talk, and formed no part of the evidence in the case. I never doubted that I had au thority as Superintendent of Public Instruction to protect all the prop erty of the' University, so far as I could protect it. But this had noth ing to do with the acquittal of the defendants. They were acquit led because there was no evidence that the charges brought' against th"n by the oath of Mr. Mason Wero true. About the 25th of last June, I went to Chapel Hill and remained there two or three days for the pur pose of looking after and protecting the Phi Library. On the-day after I -arrived at Uhapel Hill, I went t the Phi Library to examine it, wan the view of closing it up. I found the doors all standing wide open, as j X was lnfarraerl uejr nad len fori the past three weeks or more. Cor. Saunders oi tno wnmingion joum- al had been through it, and had published what he saw and knew. Mrs. Spencer had been through it, and had published what she saw and knew. Col. Cameron, of the Hillsboro' Recorder, came to Cliapel Hill while I was there, and at his request, I went through the Libra ries with him, and ho published afterwards what he saw and knew. The doors had been standing wide i open for three weeks or more, and any and all persons went in and out at any and all times. I Mas in formed that more than fifty persons went in and upon the Phi Library at the Sabbath School celebration the first Thursday in June; per sons from a distance and from the village alike went in and out as they pleased. And yet Mr. Pool, although he had agreed to take the care, protection, and possession of the Phi Library, did not move an inch toward closing it up. lie read the communications of Col. Saun ders and Mrs. Spencer, and yet the doors remained open and the books exposed. When I went - to the Li brary, as above stated, to examine it with the view to closing it, after examining it, I took a seat near it and was engaged in reading. While thus engaged, two of my sons, and John Mickle came to the Library, went in through the open doors and up on the top. After they re mained a short time I called to them to come down, and they came down. About the same time Mr. Sam Morphis, a colored man, carr.e, went up, remained up a tshort timo in the Library and camodown. f did not then know ' that he was a detective. I supposed that what I had just seen was part and parcel of what had been going on without let or hind race for three weeks or more, with Mr. Pool's consent, be cause he did nothing to prevent it. I did not therefore deem it incum bent on myself to apologise to Mr. Pool for what I had seen. I did, however, go to him and request him to assist me in closing up Phi Library. He declined to go, but gave me the keys that 1 inigh . close it. I did securely close the inner door, which had been stand ing open f .r more than a year, and I also closed the entrances to the main building which have no door shutters but are closed with rough plank nailed together and propped and nailed up in the place of door shutters. Slats are tacked across the windows, where glasses are broken out. It Lj very easy to punch these off and get into the main building. I had frequently before gone to Chapel Hill; and found that the door of the Phi Li brary had been standing open for days and weeks, tut that Mr. Pool had done nothing toward closing it. As he had agreed to take charge f this Library, and as I had con sented to the agreement, I went, In every instance, to his . house aqd had hira to go with me to the Li-. brary, and assisted him in fasten- Ing it up.- I insisted Upon bU fast-1 proven on the trial tnat twcstper'bearinirall tho proof Mclver ftntorod -Ua.Witeiaa kfvtrtM.in tho case, I tto Cfling r Qner door of the Library Hall as hi as the entrance to the main i line, but he refused, say Ing tha vras useless, that it would be broU fnnen azain.

ButMr. Pool's resources are exhaitlfts Four days after this trial ho wrote the communication which was publishedin the Era of JulySLst.'i So 'far from using my official authority to shield my children, I stated most explicitly at the trial that I would do no such thing. My wife's servant girl had sometimes gathered brush and limb3 of trees th; t had lallen upon the grounds. At one time she cut a green sap ling and carried it to the house. Mr. Mason had her arrested and car ried before the magistrate.- She told niagistmte what she had done; the magistrate fiued her, and the fine was paid. This occurred a few days liefore the trial of my children. It was suggested to me at the trial, that, as I; had authority over the college grounds the girl could not have beea guilty of a forcible tres pass by cutting down a sapling, and that it might be proper to ask for a rehearing of her case. I re plied that I had given her no au thority to commit a trespass, and that I would not ask the magis rate to rehear the case. I told the magistrate that I thought he did right iu fining the girl. If one of my children had committed acrim Inal offense, I would have paid the fine, :ut I would not and could oi4k-e ueed my ofticial authority , to shi d him from tho penalty of j lne j; jn ugnt lefniattef wn brought to trfl, which, although j no pa sithe evidence in the case, tiiows liglit upon the whole mat- ter. r.sani"Tiiorpnis, wno was td as a witness, was asked exami on the reexamination, if he had cut an Iiauled any fire-wood from j the coll je lands.

I asked him what he meant, and he told me that Mr. Mason had given him au thority. I forbade his catting any more, android him that Mr. Ma son had no right to give him such authority.

If he does not meet his fate some of these days in a pair of soft, dark eyes, it will be no body's fault but his own. Good bye, sir, now for the present, and may I always meet in my travels : such a conductor as you seem to be, both polite and obliging. I was so much entertained in my journey through Tennessee that I gave but short notes to Georgia and i South Carolina. I can assure you, notwithstanding the financial panic, that the present crops will pull us through all our troubles, and that we will be able to feed our little ones upon plenty and have to spare. I wish that I could have remain- ; ed in Memphis longer, but the scare was too great, and I had but little to do after I found my friends away from the city. You may hear from nie again. Au rtvoir, Rebekah. To the Editor of the Era : While many of the overseers of public roads in Alamance were pre sented by the grand jury at the last terra of our court, and are now working their roads, my attention has been called by Republicans to the "Republican idea of working roads by taxation. -This is a true Republican principle, and is inti mately connected with our Consti tution. It is as reasonable and just to require the ' polls of the State to build railroads as to repair the pub lie roads. Some of tho "wo-.Hl. .ualuU.ill- genee" are running a team or so on the road daily, while the colored man has no team to travel it ; but the colored man keeps up the ro.;u while the "wealth and intelligence" sits and chews his cud. In this county it will be. a test question in the next campaign, and the poli ticians may take due notice and govern themselves accordingly.

C, Sept. 19, 1873. Fkmalk Society. What is it that makes ail Ihohe men who asso ciate habitually with women supe- , rior to others who do not? What I makes that woman so accustomed j and at ease in the society of men j superior to her sex in general ? Solely because they are in the habit j of free, graceful, continued conversa tions with the other sex. Women in this way lose their frivolity, their faculties awaken, their delicacies : and ueculiarities unfold all their j beauty and captivation in the spirit of intellectual rivalry. And the men lose their pedantic, rude, de clamatory, or sullen manner. The coin of the understanding and the heart changes continually.

Ihe Druggists' Circular thus tells how easily it can be made : An excellent liquid glue can be made by dissolving; glue in nitrhj ether. This ether only takes up a certain quantity of glue, so that there ia no danger of the solution being too concentrated.' j The glue obtained in this way can ; be- made to have the consistency df molasses, and its tenacity is said to' be twice that of glue dissolved in hot water. A few pieces of - India rubber about the size of a bullet put into the glue and well shaken will dissolve ;ih a; few days, and add to the adhesive ness of the preparation, as well' as protect it from the action of the moisture.

Believing that the inestimable privil eges of self-government guaranteed by the Federal Constitution involve corres ponding duties, and that among these are sleepless vigilance and the devotion of the best thoughts and efforts of the citizen in aid of the preservation and development of our country and its in stitutions, we have determined, in futh erance of these objects, to establish a monthly magazine devoted to the dis cussion of the science of government and to a review of political events.

The Republic will insist that the country is not only sale, but safest with its destiny in the keeping oi'the Republican party; that measures of reform and progress must be carried lorwaru througli its in strumentality, and that its permanent ascendancy, should be maintained so long as it responds to the demands of enlightened and progressive public opinion. The Republic will avoid unwarranted censure of opponents as well as indis criminate praise of friends aiming at that degree of independence and candor which concede justice to both. It will not waste woids, influence, or power by purely negative criticisms, but will en deavor to promote correct action by affirmatively and plainly showing the better way. True, this line of criticism involves thought, care, investigatiou with the exercise of an impartial judg ment; but history has conclusively de monstrated that by these means the cause of truth and good government can be best advanced. The Republic will furnish a brief and accurate record of events of political and general interest, as The proceedings of Congress. The decisions and action of tho Exec utive Departments;. The' action of States and of political bodies of national import. The progress of material and educa tional development. '- Decisions of the judiciary of political or linanicul importance and of general application. The publication being monthly, the record will be made up after the events have transpired, and will make, at the close of the year, a volume of accurate and valuable information in convenient form for preservation and reference. Among the topics claiming discussion will be The relative power and jurisdiction of the r ederai anu state (joveruments ; tne expansion of territory, revenue, finance, education, industrial school, postal tele graph, postal savings banks, railway and canal transportation, life and lire insurance, river and harbor improve ments, tho public health, reforms in the public service, and the establishment of equal civil anu political rignts. untnese au.l kindred subjects The Republic will aim to convey reliable information, ex cite thotijht, and induoQ action.
