' If food is placed before him it ia BwaJlowed with avidity ; it enters the stomach not sufficiently ia saliyated or masticated, rendering it impossible for the gastric juices to act upon it, and in jBuch cases, it is with difficulty that an action can be set up .in jthe stomach necessary for a proper digestion J hence many valuable horses are lost by colic, through injudicious feeding with dry. feed. The London . Omnibus Company keep some 6,000 horses. In order to economize feed they tried the experiment of feeding 3,000 horses on bruised oats, cut hay anil straw. The other 3,000 were fed in jthe usual way on uncut hay and Btnaw and whole oats, the horses do ing their own grinding and cutting. The allowance on the first system was, brtused.Oats 16 flsi, cut hay '7 J fibs., cut straw. 2 fbs. j The 'allowance to the second was unbruised oats 19 lbs., uncut hay and straw 13 fibs. The bruised oats, hay and straw, amount ed to 26 fts., and unbruised oats, hay and straw, to 32 fibs.; horses that had, the bruised oats with cut hay and stra$ consumed 26 fibs, per day, andlhe re suljt was that they performed as much work and kept in" as good condition as the horses that had. 32 fibs, per aay. Here is a saving jof 6 fi)s. per day on the feeding of each horse, receiving tho ground oats anol cut hay and straw. Thus, at 5 cents per day, the compa ny saved the handsome sum of 8300 pei" day by using bruised oats, cut hay and straw on the entire stock of 6,000 head. i Noirth and South-dence- -Southern Indepen--No. 4. . The South produces nothing to sup ply her own wants. A' moment's re flection will " demonstrate this truth. True, the South makes much cotton, anjl wants but little! of it, except as a means of buying what she most wants. One article, she wants habitually, or thinks she does -nejgroes. These, in stead of supplying her wants, seem to multiply them daily1. She now sup plies herself with bread and meat, also tobacco and rice ; but as we have seen, these articles, important as they are, ari comparatively small, in the great invoice of her wants, as supplied to he by the North, from products of Northern labor and! capital. The South makes a little osnaburgs ami shirting but does not approximate a supply. The amount of cotton goods made at the North may now be esti mated at sixty-five million dollars worth. There we go for our buddIv. I So it is with iron; steel, and other me tals, ana products maue of these. Such ivthe ease Mith the manufacturers of wojod, from a shoe-peg, clothes pin, dipper handle or a foroomstick, to a steamship. All thai might be named, are made and sold tci us by the North. Yep, we have the soil, the climate, the timber, the oak, hickory, ash, pine, Walnut maple, cyprjess and cedar in . richest profusion we have capital and labor, and more wkter power than they have, and yet they take our raw material there, and, j combining their labor and capital on it, double its cost, . nd return it to us,r charging us to their labor, interest on their capital nivdf freight, and charges back . and forth..-' This they do, being all the tiinr employed, whilst we are content to jiav for and use the articles, stand- idle or-gazmg at . t. ing the the wonders of iNorth. quieted by the flattery they plaster on, by elling us what a great matter cotton is. , 'jVhat is true of tine manufacture of wood, is also true concerning those of wool, of leather, and other material. The sagacity of the North has ferret fedjout oiir every want, in every de partment "of life. It has stimulated nnji created them where they did not exist, to create a demand for their la bor, where was none. Northern enterprise and industry have supplied all our vranta,' real and imaginary, actual and acquired. Those which are prompted by our necessities, as well as those which' are suggested and 8pnngby the cunning of the North. X The wise statesmanship of the North, over-riding law' and justice, compels us to buy of them what they have to sell, pricing' the articles 'sold to suit them selves. 'j . ; The South lias the politicians. These by buffcrencc, are permitted to feed on f five loaves nd two little fishes I as elianee may give them a bite. With these the politicians are content. This iqtTT are permuiea t ao, since it is known by .the Northithat the 'loaves and fishes! are paid for by the South. To (make us all more ! abundantly sat- j isfied they laud our cotton and tell us JiOit great it makes us. Thev know- that all our cotton used by them, is as one! to fifteen compared to what they praincetaat our wbole Crop of cot tont is as one to toar, compared to vhit thev . make. Thev know. too. that they cease not their products, wi th mey thereby pav lor and control me cotton. J, hoy have live jHiiTose to dare, and the will to execute. We have the fire a nd. the c-hivalrv. They have the pow ; cr of legislation, the army and navy, the x urse., the sword and the 'Union. We have th climite, the soil, and i the ncnrrtieti to make the cotton, to- jbacjjOj and rice. They control these through our wants; Hvhilst they teach ii3 the moral involvet in the slavepro duep, advising ns thit in due time we niust yield the power to produce our cotton, tobacco, and rice, since they claim to decide where we shall take it,, and! on what territory we may hold it. Ie that hath an ?ye to see can ierQeive that we are dependent people, because we have wants that are sup. lied by others. ; j The planter who makes a yearly crop' of one hundred )ale and pays yut ihe proceeds to supply a family of nonproducers, with artieles made by, and fought of another, is depencLeast on him that supplies him. w f The Southern -cotton planters, the proprietors. of the South, with all. its J&, ...... -.i,.,v- -f.'

The mails that ought' to come directly from Salisbury to this place, have arrived at the post office here so irregularly of late, one and two' days after due, and .then brought by the western train that we cannot longer re frain from uttering our protest against the abominable bad management known to exist somewhere with those having the custody of the mails. What is the use of a daily mail, and a railroad if, an important mail, which ought to reach ub in less than twohour is de tained as many days, as it often occurs1! j By the preseVit schedule of the W. N. C. Jlail road the Eastern mail for the West, which arrives at Salisbury at 4 o'clock in the after noon, is not dispatched in this direction until 8 o'clock next morning -a delay of sixteen houre. But this our business community might submit to patiently provided, their letters, etc. were sent and delivered properly, without additional detention. But so often have this occurred that, regularity is hardly looked for we are more disappointed when wc receive our correspondence in the regular time than when we 'do not. Our whole com munity suffer in like manner, and complain of the intolerable grievance. If the cause continues, our citizens should and will apply the needed remedy petition the Department for removal of the derelict officer. If the fault be not with the Pot- Master at Salisbury, it will be his duty no doubt afford him a pleasure to, investi gate and apply a correcti. . When mail- matter is deposited in the right pouches at Salisbury, and they be delivered at States ville, no mistake can occurs B?3i,We have received a polite invitation from Messrs. D. B. Gaither, M.

We much regret, that the term-ofour court, which happens in the same week, will very likely deprive us the pleasure of participating with our friends at the festive board on the memorable occas ion ; but we embrace this opportunity to re joice with them, that the iron-horse, is daily prancing throngh their hills and vallies bringing prosperity and gladness to their door.

Un Monday an intense excitement was caused in Anderson, O. W., caused by an as sault by negroes upon the family of Mrs Gre yean. Four negroes went to the house about twelve o'clock at night and made an attack upon it. Mrs. G. and three men were at home at the time, and they defended themselves ; but as they were destitute of fire-arms, the negroes made an entrance and knocked down and beat the inmates in a terrible manner. The lady was beaten in an inhuman manner, and then subjected to most fiendish indigni ties.. The next day officers started in pursuit oi tne rumans ana succeeded in arresting them, bnt before they could be secured they were rescued by an armed mob and set at liberty. This aroused the white citizens, who formed themselves into bands to assist in the punishment of the negroes. Recent accounts state that the citizens are determined upon arresting the7' murderous band who committed the outrages, and the negro population are disposed to protect them and there is consequently great danger of a general disturbance. The whites and blacks in that and the adjoining township are about equally divided in numbers, and, while the latter are villainous, the former are determin ed to protect themselves from ontrage.: The Oregon Sentinel says MissCartwright, a young lady of eighteen -summers, aod daughter of Cartwright wlukeep8 the Cala pooea Mountain House, last week shot a fine deer which the hounds had brought to bay near .her father's house. She made a dead shot at the antlered prey, the , ball" having pierced his heart.

The Wilmington Herald says: A singular accident occurred in this town on Sunday af ternoon last, which came near being a fatal one. it was as loiiowa : Apon of Mr. hdward Ward, living near Dry Pond unsuspectingly placed a lighted match near the open bung hole of an empty fluid barrel when an explo sion took place, shattering the , barrel, ' and throwing portions of the same some distance, and one piece went with such" force as to dis place several boards from the roof of the shed.
