M It la extremely natural, we suppose that men in the South should take a om bre view of the .world's future, and cry oat that all experiments of self-govr m neat have failed. We have seen such " excesses committed in the United States In the name of Democracy and in tbe name Ot iioerty me constitution wnicu we so raaAlWrered so openly scouted that we iltst mel disposed to give up, and say that of course, we are running the career of all republics sad drifting into impeiiai ism : and tbe history ot government is i aeries of cycles following each other from (Ot favm to another none ever very good notte'-evcr to be very good. Now we affirm that this "cycle" theory is an extremely Incorrect representation of tbe facts of history. There have been constant fluctuations constant tumult and agitations of the surface constant advances and recessions of the waves "bat on the whole the tide and main cur rent of history has been moving steadily in one direction ; and we affirm that that movement has without interruption from the beginning to this day been from worse 40 better. The Babylonian monarchy was probably the first seat of empire, al though tbe accredited ftronology of the omenta does not go back of about 400 B. C, while modern Egyptoloprists elaim that that country was an establish- Mtjd monarchy as far hack as 2,600 B. C The world in tbe days of Abraham had the oriental despotisms of Assyria, Egypt, India and China. Then followed, similar n character, the Phoenicians, the reign of Solomon, the empires ot the Jledes and Persians. Then, about A.

He reach also the age of print ing, and tbe establishment ot post-offices in England ; and near the close ot the cen tury the discovery of America. It was at the beginning of the sixteenth century that tbe greatest Work of architec ture which probably ever existed was built the church of St. Peters. And this was the glorious period of Italian art the age of Michael Angelo, Raphael, (Jorreggio. But we have now arrived at the Rcfor nation Has European society advanced since Lnthcr entered Worms, or X w ingle preached tne open Hibleaturtcb T And here our naraative brings us to tbe modern system ot hurope. And the mam question under discussion now confronts us ; is the Europe and Amer ica of to-day in advance of the Europe of ihe days of Lous XIV. and Queen Anne of tbe Pare apx CerS and the author of the "Relapse" ? Or is society to-day in advance of what it was in the middle of the last century f We affirm and with a little space could easily prove it that it is immeasurably in advance moral ly of the age of George Selwyn, Tobias Smollett, Laurence Sterne, Jiitharc!

Men wbo live to bless the world and thus to be blessed. We trust oar readers will not criticise this little digression from our subject, and we will return to the ques tion under consideration. Already, North Carolina has had her saining interests deteriorated in the minds of many by th mismanagement or no- t tbo build-1 management of those who have cither , the maPfCtye come of ties own accord us repn- ler scorn- sentatives of northern capital. Our readers will Mir testimony to the fact that not only (fib political and religous progress of tbe South, bat also tho finan cial recuperation, has been greatly re tarded by men who have sought only to build themselves np upon the ruin of oth crs; roon wbo nave no reputation nor credit at the North. Such men have some how (we cannot solve the mystery) gained access to Northern capital, have squandered it for their companies, accom pushed nothing, and then reported "no gold to bo found," or "the expense of procuring it is great that it will never We believe wc speak advisedly when we say there arc a thousand gold mines In North Carolina that, with proper manage ment, would each pay titty per cent divi dends annually on 725,000. There is another difficulty opposed to the quick success in mining in North Carolina. The impression has become very general that the gold-bearing ores are principally sulphurets, and are so re fractory as to be absolutely unmanage able. Our observation has taught us that while there is, in North Caaolina, a vast amount of tho sulphurets, or pyrites, of copper and iron, there is also what seems to be an inexhaustible quantity of free gold in quarts and oxydutcd base metals. Again, we have concluded, after various successful experments with the sulphuiet ores since wc came to North Carolina, that the pyritical ores of this State are not as difficult to mansge as the more per fectly crystalized pryrites of the Western mines. 1 he gold is not as intimately as sociated with the sulphur here as in Colorado.

But within the hut year, R bat been fully and satisfactorily demonstrat ed, by Professor Lawrence W. Smith, of Louisvitle, Kentucky, that very excellent merchantable sugar may be to made; and at trifling expense. The machinery and process, baying been patented are offered for sale by Agent in different parts of the country. and l nave in inti l.aviug sees the advertisement of the Aeents, I think, at Tarboro'. N. It does not cost more than fifty to sixty dollars. The Agent states, that good tnrar mav be made to cost only six cents a pound ; and that th Syrup of superior quality will not cost more than 90 etc. nor gallon. it tnese statement; are true, and I bav no reason to doubt them, from my per sonal knowledge of Prof. Smith, and his prc-eminet attainments, as a scientific tad practical Chemist ; doe it not hold out a strong inducement to some of our more energetic Farmers to Investigate the sub ject, and lead the way, ifpnmtjcahle, in a business that may be profitable. By tbe way, Mr editor, have oar people so soon forgotten the value of the Chinese sugar cane, and the blessing of its syrup, during the late war t when, at it known, it contributed to tbe support ot thousands upon thousands of our people. In look ing back upon that long aad gloomy pe riod, it is difficult ta conceive how the peo ple Could have lived without it. Is it less valuable now ? I have seen it cultivated to profitably. by many person., only a litsie further south, that I wonder why every eae of our farmers, no matter how small their opera- lions may be, do not cultivate it. Tbo syrup, the fodder, the seed, are all valua ble for man, and every kind of stock ; and now, more loan all, u good sugar can be Jiti sv at w 1 W tr,
