FAYETTEVTLLE aND WESTERN

There seems to be a chance that the Fa v
atteville and Coalfields Railroad Company
will aelect Salisbury as the eruiiuus of the
road. It will undoubtedly be the part of
wisdom, to do so. Should the Company se
lect Greensboro, it will merely open a chan
nel, by which ia drain tlo- products and trade
of Montgomery, Moore, and part of Ran
dolph eonuties, to Richmond and other points
North, aud seriously dnaftnge Fayetteville
whereas, to connect witliSaiisbury, will not
only secure the trade of the above named
e- .unties, but open a line of railroad commu
nication directly with the western part of the
State, aud ultimately with East Tennessee
and the Valley of the Mississippi river. It re
ally does appear to us. that a child even in
the toeipieney of its wisdom, would se-j the
advantages of building! he road to Salisbury.
That should be the trunk line and the line
that mould benefit the public the stork
holders in the road and Fayetteville, most.
It would enable peoj.le'of several counties iu
this section large sliipjiers of produets nsu-jilly-to

I. .wing observations of the Klehmond Di$
patcfr in relation to the trauaitton of political
parties aow going on in our inldal s
THt PERIOD OF TRANSITION.
"The perhd of political transition whirh

in matters ot auek inaguitu'le aa are thoM-
tuvolved.
It Is iinpoasible that the policy of a war
party, and the ineesores engaged by war
rati be suited to a eoudition of pea re. The
Republican party, uuier the guiilaure of the
apirit aud paaaious of war, has pursued a
policy utterly iueousistt-ut with true Keptih
lu-aolain. Instead of the liberalitv of Re
liublieauiatn and ita justice, which claims
that juat (cowruusrut derives Ua ower from
the eouseut of the aovePued, w have had
arbitrary power exacted over n lars;e part of
the I uin through lullitarv eatraps. To
ndai t itself to peace, and Its name, the Re
ptbliran party must abandon Ua measures
reeoenixe the supremacy of the popular will
secure the freedom of (he eitiaen, and leave
the people to choose their own rulers.
Either this change must eoine over the Re
publieau party, or that party must, as war par
ties generally Have done, give place to a new
basis.
The northern Democratic party, the an
tagoniat of the Republican, is embarrassed.
in a crest decree by the war isues ami its
conduct during andT since the war. It has
made a great many blunder. Ita prominent
men are entangled with inconsistencies that
seriously damage their party. Many of them
uttered opiulnue .and seutiuienta before the
war that made their participation in it a
great iurouM.-u-ary. And while, whan the
irarcaiue. perhaps the Democratic larty
furnished not only its greatest commanders
but its main strength in men. they hare
been betrayed into assaults upon the man
agement of the war and the Government
that enabled the Republican party to usurp
all telat of the victory over tbe Smith, while
the South, ao far aa the seal with which they
inducted the war ia concerned, finds uo
cause to consider them uior forbearing than
the Republicans.
The Democrats have made ua sufferers by
endeavoring to make reconstrnctien odious,
and joiniug the ultra radical with that view,
while they bave bitterly opposed universal
suffrage at the North, which waa fixed npou
us chiefly through their agency. Thus they
are Involved at every turn by inconsistencies
thai with all their strength of voters, have
continually subjected thetui to defeat amec
the war.
It i evident that both the mat PWlies at
the North must undergo great changes. The
Republicans must abandon their war p' 1 ''
their war rancours and mal.guiti. s, and
adapt th. ni-el veu to the name they bear, or
. i . i i ti : t. ; l- .
oe aiiuiiiiiaiea ny puonc opinion iimucuiiir.
The Democrats must eUt loose from their
old issnes, aud repudiate their old lead
rs. who are involved iu gross inconsis
tencies and desperate follies, or they eat.
never again triumph. They must become
practical, bring forward new and- strong
men. fit for the theatre in these times nnd
entirely free from the prejudices and paarious
of the past.
It is plain that circumstances are now
coercing changes in the political world that
will entirely remodel partus. Old issues
and policies are dead, aud Parties will not
be properly organized until the old political
hacks are set itslde along wit h those issnes. l
The South is a looker-on. ready to take
that sido which is most just, most practical,
aud whose pdicy is best calculated to pro
mote the local prosperity and contentment ot
the country, and in that way the peace, har
mony, and power the nation.
Should General Uraut take a proper sur
vey ol tlie neld. nua inaiiixurate, in accoru-
ance with the liberal opinions he has often
expressed, a policy calculated to do this to
impart equality and justice to all section:
to promote industry and restore eoufinde.nee

he will place his Administration upon a rock.
aud speedily solve the present political com

ice-halfof the present cloci holders ol the

Now, what, will the Stockholders pet under
this iroposed lease 7 Instead of iheir getting
six per cent, they will only get about two ptr

The State must get 6 per rent

At(Iip last mttinjr of the Stockholders of

assured us iu Ins annual repoit, and Maj
Smith lias repeatedly, and on all occasions, as
sured the S'oi-kholdef s 'that they should have

NEW PROCESS IN WHEAT CUL
TURE. The result of an experiment trade during
the past season, by It. A. Gilpin, nt hn
farm in W'estown, on tin; wide planting
and cultivation of wheat, appears to he
quite remarkable. In giving an account
of the experiment, Mr. Gilpin s:tys : The
ground measured nu acre within a fraction;
it was f.ot selected on account of any lu-
fciioritv. but was much the anine as Un
rest of the field, and Was manured and
prepared just, the same. The seed was
the red Mediterranean, and not very Coed,
being taken from the wheat grown on the
place the previous season, which was in
jured by the weevil. It was drilled tn ut
ili. rate of three qnarleis of a bushel to the
acre, on the 25ib of September, at the
same tune ss the rest of the field' M"
peculiarity in tbe treatment, was that eve
rV other pipe of the drill was stopped, so
that the rows of wheat were twenty inches
aparf, or double the usual distance. In
the spring, when the ground bid Lecome
sufficiently dry to work, a small .garden
hoe harrow wn- run between tho rows,
working the ground to the depth of about
three inches; this was done only once.
The effect of -tiiis working w as very appar
ent; the wheat took a rapid start and out
grew the rest of the field.
A the season advanced it grew tall and
trong, and no amount of wind or rain
had any effect to lay It down ; when the
head formed, their grcati r length was
rery apparent. It was backward in rip
ening, und the rest' of the field was cut1
and hauled in a week before tin was ready.
Now for theretnlt;he experimental wheat
yielded twenty-throe bushels to the acre,
and the rest yielded only nine bnebela to
the acre ; the quality of each was about
the same. Whether from defect in the
seed, or the wet eeason, or tlie late plant-Jen
ing, the Whole of my wheat was injured
both by rust and weevil, and the experi
mental n u t did not escniie it wusnffected
just as tiro rest was.
This experiment cannot be regarded as
entirely satisfactory ; the season wa ex
ceptional, the seed used wa inferior, and
the yield of the experimental part of the
field was not absolutely great, but only1 by
muny wseou with ihe ruatuf she crap which
wa a poor one, from tho effect a of the
rust and the weevil ; but the result is, un
der any cir"imiitahce8, sufficiently reason
able to attract the attention of farmers and
induce a further trial. Farm Joural.
A Cincinnati dispatch under date of tbe
19th. says;
'General Hiram Walbridge, of New
fork, addressed tire hamber of 'omraerce
regarding the Louisville aptivenlion, which
he regarded as national, every btate being
represented. I was the unanimous sen
timent that the South, impoveiished by
the rebellion, should be the government
in developing her resources. To this end
the convention favored water communica
tion between Ohio and the Atlantic, recon
struction of the . Mississippi levees and

A GOOD STORY.
Some of tlie student j of the Indiana
8tate UnivsrsUy were suspected of being
iu the habit of drinking brandy. Wheie
they obtained it was a mystery. Dr. Dai
ly determined to ferret out tbe secret.
Calling into a drug store, the proprietor
asked him "how that student, Mr. Carter,
came on t" Bmelling n rat, the doctor
anaweted in an evasive manner, aud soon
drew out of the apothecary thatthe stu
dents under suspicion had born in tbe
habit of purchasing bandy for the use, as
they said of a Mr. Carter; that they said
h was quite low and was kept alive by
stimulants ; that tbe young men seemed
rery devoted to him' Now the secret wo
out The Carter waa a fictitious character
and the doctor had tbe secret. However
he kept hi own counsel. The m-xt time
the student were assembled iu tbe chapel
for prayers, he cast his eyes over the
crowd and satisfied himself tbat Cartel
nurses were-ull present. Devotiou were
duly conducted, and then he lugubriously
reiuai h"d to them that he had a mournful
task to perform ; a fho president of tbe
university it became his duty to announce
tbe death of their feliowsludent Mr. Curler.
After a lingering illuess of several weeks,
a pjrtiotrf which time ho was kept alive
by titntilants, be had breathed bis iut
lie had no doubt that this announcement
would fall sadly on the ears of those who
had so faithfully attended to his wants,
but he hoped they would bear it with re
signation he hoped they would reflect on
the oft repeated words, "Memento mori,"
that he would detain them no longer,
hut le tve them to their own reflections!
I he result was the professors and but few
of the students bad heard of this man Car
ter, ho is bel" wa whispered.
None knew but the kind friends who at
tended him, and they would not tell ; and
the president seemed so deeply affected
that they did not like to ask him.
