The disposition of Gcronimo, the eni- tured Apache chief, anil his companions, listurbs the eipianinuty ol some ol the humanitarians always on tile Hunt lor marcs nests. They think that confine ment in the bounds of barracks or gar rison walls is a fate too hard for a war- ior accustomed to the boundless range of plain or mountain, and propose to give another name told character to his cap tivity I iv turning him loose somewhere in tnc mountains of North Carolina. Hv ideutlv those soft hearted creatures think those mountains areas bare and desolate and uninhabited as the Sierra Mailre; that the preceding generations of Chero kee have followed Apache fashions and killed and scalped and burned, until there is neither man, woman nor child, ior horse nor cattle to awake the blood thirsty instincts or cupidity of the incar nate fiends of the West. Perhaps also, in ease their murderous passions have been spbilucil, Alley think these moun tains abound in bear and elk and deer Old buffalo and that it is Christian retii butiou to place the "noble red man" in the happv terrestrial hunting grounds oi orth Carolina Now we have to say that we do not want I ci onimo and his ollowci s. The land proposed for hi es de is aheatly occupied by peaceful and nappv whites. We are not ufraid ol these Indians. At the same time, if they arouse to mischief, it is not hard to recall their ferocity, and the fearful mciiioriesof their murders, not in battle, but in llielr terri ble sweeping forays, pouncing down 011 the innocent and unsuspecting;, sparing neither age nor sex; nor can we lorgel the trouble ami the blood il cost to sub due and capture them. Let the govern. iient hold them where they arc, or even in a yet stronger place. Sympathy is cvrougly awakened in favor of the blood taincd, scalp bedecked enemies of all uaukinel.

CUAHI.OTTK. The Charlotte Chronicle of the ol ll pre sents a very suggesiivc incident which 111. IV be taken to largely foreshadow tile future of that city, ll is a description of all the incidents to the great enterprise of the Charlotte 1 hi and l;eriili;cr compaut . The lesson is that the Southern people are slowly, but surely, learning lo ntili.e cither what they have thrown to waste, or sulieT others to work up for them, ami sell back in ils converlcd slate. How many million dollars lor instane-c have gone out ol the Stale to purchase the fertilizers by which the cotton that comes to the Charlotte market, the Mecklenburg planters can answer with many a groan and sigh; and how' many thoiisandsoltons.il cotton seed have been pitched as refuse oul of the gin houses to rot ami w aste, or find a grudg ing use as a halt recognized manure. These same farmers may now recall ve lib something 'ike shame al their own stit pidilv when they see what science, ingen uity find sagacity have done for them in converting these despised seed into an oil that enters into valuable economical uses, into a rich ingredient lor fertilizers or into nutritious food lor slock. The waste and the ignorance of one genera tions, is the subject of the industry and source of wealth to the succeeding one. The factory and its concomitants are on so large a scale as to merit notice as grand Charlotte and North Carolina enterprises. The oil mill embraces a seed warehouse MOOxKU, an oil mill projier. brick, three stories high, liil.x SO, engine and boiler house, and meal warehouse 15()x 8(1. The fertilizer factory has sulphur furnace and boiler house, acid chamber 40x250, grinding mill for phospluue roek, engine anil boiler house, fertilizer warehouse 120x100. To this is added a ginnery of brick, three stories high, with capacity to clean 100 hales of cotton a day, the lint cotton I icing baled on the premises by two steam compresses. The company has also a brick making plant with capacity of 30,000 bricks a day. Last but not least, will be constructed cattle sheds, where 2,000 cattle will be fed and fattened on cotton seed hulls and meal. This is certainly a great enterprise. It is a stride towards that iudejicudence at which the South should aim in its indus trial life, and an awaking tip to its re sources to which it has been so blinded. Charlotte, conspicuous as as a railroad centre, is now roused to avail itself of all ils great advantages. It cunnot claim to invite to its charms as a pleasure resort, but it has manifold claims as a business and manufacturing centre. We are proud to recognize in Charlotte the Sieve Jacobs, the Kol it-sou county out law, who recently escaped from jail .uvoinpauicd by ail act ofdeadly violence, and outlawed for that and other crimes, iias been seen. I Ic is armed with a six teen shot rille, but shows no disposition as yet to imitate his kinsman Steve I.owry, the hero of Kobesoii county twenty t ears ago. They are of the same blood. Croalaus, not mulattos, descend ants, it is believed on good grounds, of 1 he intermingled h.sl colony of Capt. John While, established on Roanoke Is land between loMi and lolMI, and the Croatan Indians on ihe mainland.
