J : 1 r II RED STRING MEETING. -We are informed by a gentjem.nJ of high respectability, that tho Bed Strings held a meeting at. a pkoexalled"Con cord, near Fibber's Mill in Davie county, on lu-t Saturday. Tlio meeting was to have been addressed by Henderson, of Lexington, tho Southern negro burcuu mnn.,u that cofinty. Wo also learn, through a gentleman who has been ap proached by the Red Stringi and solic ited to join them, that secessionists are generally excluded," or not allowed to become metjibers of this villianoua, dark lantern clique; this is the best evidence that the Red Strings, so called heroes of America, arc bad men. The geutlemtin further states that these d Morgan izcrs claim that the lands and other property of all members of this corrupt organisa tion ate secured by it against confisca tion. Is there any one so ignorant as th be deceived by the outrageous machina tion of these bad men ? Aro not flie above facts sufficient to satiety the minds of all good men beyond a reasonable doubt, that tho red string organization is rotten, villainous and has for its object no good? Souio good men have no doubt been mis'ed into if, but the prin cipal acto-s aro restless, factious, and unprincipled. It is a sort of Bpditions organization, a plan for the perfecting of a regular system of cspio'iago. Its members arc to act as informers 'on tho good and true, ..men of tho country, their neighbors, jmd point out their property and secure its confiscatiaa if -possible, whilo their own is secured to them by perjury and other' infamons acts that would disgrace even tho code of high waymcnv Wb warrr all - good nw to como o, from these factious distnrhero of thepcace.

These staves are now'bcinij ..11 1 i.-.l 'our and Gvc hundred miles, over Roads of other SliOea and shipped to Europe. Spokes are also carried a Lugo distanoo by rail, and shipped from N. Y. to ("aliloinia. The reasons whj this plan .fliould be adopted ate these: , 1st. Our lands now sell lor much loss llian their lenl value and the uevenue arising houi them is small in compurisou lo what it would be, if we bad n...-H9e potiuiayjili, and these small ainaunis juust Krow le.S under the present depletory system or emigration. 2d. Our 'protlucts would unci better markets at aboat, the samo cot of present arrangements, and our imported poods creatry be cheapened. ad. .The niachiuery aud labor, imported from Km ope would be ol the best quality! Much of the machinery brought horn tho North is old, or sec ond band, aud ol little value, and it is an impossi bilny to get labor from the Northern cities and til ales, owing to the great demand for labor in the West, and the perfect systetn'now practiced to sup ply that section. Then, geullemeu, if you will c sidcr thesiihject.carelully, you must conclude that in order to avoid -bankruptcy on the part of the State and people, and to have our former profperi-' ty restored, we-must adopt somclhitig like the plan proposed. Alter Dr. rvrd had finished his remarks, it 'was propo-eJ, on motion, that the Legislature be ni.Tiioralisl on the subject, which was agreed tc On motion the chair was requested to appoint a Committee for the purpose, and ho appointed Maj. Jus. C. Sinythe, Dr. J. V. Hal!, Jas. II. Enuias, V. , und Hon. Lewis llancs. On motion the President, W. M; Robbins, Esq., wu3 aihlcd lo the Committee. 1 ,: . The meeting then adjourned. ' . The incmot ial shall appca.r in. our next, when we hope to be able lo remark more at length upon this important subject. We will ftite here however, that it is all important that other counties also pe liiion the Legislature for tho purpose of securing their action.
