That the Repub lican party representing as it does the laboring class of our fellow-citi-zans, we favor the election of work . ing men as our legislators men ' whose sympathies and interests are indentihed with ours, believing that they will projerly represent tho interest of the working men, do thenecessay legislation prompt ly, and not continue in session for months, merely for their per diem, as has been too much the case by the General Assemblies of late. , Resolved, 2ml. That we are op posed to legislation upon the sub ' joct of spirituous liquors believ er ing as we do that it has a tendency - to abridge the rights of our citizens ; ! and we most solemnly deprecate the action of the last Legislature in f5 consuming so much valuable j time in legislating upon this sub l iect: we are. nevertheless, in favor : of sobriety among our citizens and will inculcate the same by moral suasion. ' Resolved. 3rd. That we favor " ami pledge ourselves to reform the administration of our county gov ernment and nuances ; that we are tired of paying taxes to remain for an unlimited time in the hands of collectors for their benefit, as has been the case in this county for the past four years, by failure of the proper officers to require prompt settlement as required by law. We therefore favor a more strict en a m A . . iorcerucnt oi the law, as to the ac counting and settlement of all coun ty ofilcers. Which were unanimously adopt ed by the convention. During the absence ol the last named committee, Thomas R. Pur nell. the Republican nominee for Suierintendent of Public lnstruc- lion, being present ami called upon, came lorward anil addressed the Convention for one hour and a half in a most forcible, iKintcd and ef fective sjeecli, dealing heavy blows to the opposition. 1 he lion.

The following are the names on said ticket, and they are in favor of selling the public lots in the town of Ijcxington and paying on the entire county debt with the pro ceeds thereof, and save tne County Commissioners the painful and pressing necessity of levying a spe cial tax : For Senate John T.

This entire ticket will be elected by an increased vote; all are tried and true Republicans and are se lected by the leading Republicans from all portions of the county.

A reporter of the Baltimore Amer ican thus describes one of the many processes of making shot in one of the shot-towers of that city: One of the "secrets" of the manufacture is the mixing of the lead with a cer tain proportion of a combination of which is fused with the lead, and gives tho molten metal that con sistencv which makes it drop. If it were not for the "temper" the lead would be molded by the sieve. and would lorm little pencils in shot, for instance, are to be made, the lead is poured into a pan per forated with holes corresponding to that size. Tho little pellets come pouring down in a continuous shower, and fall into a tank filled with water on the ground floor. In their descent of 200 feet they Income perfect Hnheres. lirni and dense, and they are tolerably cool when thev strike tho wjitor. nlthntiph the su it! concussions make tho tank loam and bubble as if the tvater was boil ing furiously. The shot must fall in water, for if they should strike any firm substance, they would be llattened and knocked out of shape. To get the little pellets perfectly dry after they have been in the "well" is the most difficult and troublesome process of the whole manufacture. An elevator with tairmll hurL'nft: I vnrtr iimoh I Lrr t hnco I ' i r a 7 v..tV " . r useu in iiour miusi camw me snoi up as fast as thev reach the "well." and deposits them in a box sixty feet above the first floor. The water drips from the buckets as they go up, and not much is poured into the receiver above, although it is in-1 tended to be a sort of dripping ma-1 chine. From this receiver the shot I run down a spout into a drying I pan, which greatly resembles a gi- I gantic shoe, made of sheet iron. 1 The pan rests at an angle which I permits the wet shot to roll slowly down to the chamber below, and the iellets become perfect I v dry as tney pass over the warm sheet iron. HAT AIXXHIOI, WILL IX). It may seem stranire, but it is never theless true, that alcohol, reeularlv tho fence, let rattle into his crops, kill his fruit trees, mortgage his farm, and sow his helds with wild oats, and thistles. It will take the paint off lus building, break the glass out of the windows and till them with rags. It will takt? th gloss irom his clothes and the pol- r a isn irom ins manners, suiKlue his reason.arouse his passions, brinersor row and disgrace upon his family, and topple him into a drunkard's grave. It will do this to the artisan and the capitalist, the matron and the maiden, as well as to the farmer: rf .1 li j. - . . " in lis uenuiy enmuy 10 me hu- man race, alcohol is no resrecter of persons ! t There are eighty-five candidates for Commissioners of New Hanover Reducing the Cotton Crop. Old Dr. Samuel Johnson used tp grow very miserable sometimes bo cause of the perplexity arising from tho fact that, upon any given sub ject, so much could be said on both sides. It does seem that, after all discussion as to a large or short crop of cotton, prudence would dictate the raising of a considerable provision crop first and then the making of as much cotton as possi ble. But a certain Dr. Cranwill of New Orleans, thinks the short cot ton crop view fallacious and un statesmanlike. He argues that the South no longer has an approximate monopoly of this product, and, sur veying the fields of culture, espe cially those opened up by England, he reasons curiously and ingeniously as follows : Dr. Livingstone's remains find a tomb in Westminster Abbey ! Why so ? Are we to imagine this great honor to his remains because he went a travelling to find the, sources of the Nile?,r We must look for it in another direction, and regard him as the secret and confi dential agent of the British Govern ment to unveil the obscurity which hangs over the interior of Africa, and report on its mineral wealth and the fertility of its soil, especially as adapted to the cultivation of cot ton. For this purpose the British Government have had various agencies in operation of late years. Dr. Livingstone's travels have thrown a new light upon the social condition of the inhabitants of this region. Sir Samuel Baker reports the agricultural and commercial value of the extensive tract of land along the course of the upper Nile, as incalculable, and has pointed out the immense cotton producing power of these districts. The bhil lonk country on the White Nile, he says, is not occupied by savages but bv millions of thriay and in dustrious inhabitants, and, although terra incoanita. it may in future be made to blossom like the rose in agricultural wealth and civiliza tion. At this time the commercial men of New England are establish' ing themselves in different places on the Nile, but with marked sue cess at a town called Fashado on the White Nile. The great article o trade at these points is raw cotton, which was only introduced rrom EL'vnt about eiirht vears asro. but which has been cultivated since on an extensive scale. English textile croods. ami even money, are now readily accepted by the natives for cotton. England has here a prospect of possessing a new and profitable source of cotton supply, and pos sibly establishing markets for manufactures in the interior of Africa. Iont put all Your Eggs in one Hasket. Figures do not lie, it is said. Well, perhaps they dont: hut they sometimes tell the truth in such a way that they re more deceptive than a down-right lie. Figures are made to say that cotton planting is the most prou table branch ot agri culture. This is true, no doubt; but, then, these same figures are made to show that cotton planting is a losing business, and all the plan ter., or at the best most of them, are becoming bankrupt, there is a good deal of truth in this too, we fear, and while our readers are at liberty to reconcile these statements as best they can, we will just say that our experience and observation have both convinced us that the most prosperous agriculturists in the Union are to be found among the "small farmers" of our upper and middle country men who put their own hands to tho plough,' plant largely the provision crops, especially small grain, grow clover and the grasses, raise a few sheep, and give some attention to stock generally. Their eggs are not all in one basket, and whatever may happen in the cotton crop or in the cotton market, they are sure of something to fall back on, and their families and their stock are insured against want. If cotton does well and brings a good price, they see the color of the money (or a part of it) which it brings. We have never discouraged cotton planting in the South. We reiterate what we have often said before : but we have felt it a duty to protest against the "all cotton" system, and we expect to continue to do ao.Ritrftt Caro linian.
