The iicople of Western North Carolina arc justified if they arc indignant at, and enter a protest against, the weakness, the wickedness or the indifference of the War Department in submitting, after a show of resistance or hesitation, to the plans of the Indians Rights Association to turn the blood-sLceied Oeronitno and his band of Apaches loose upon the peo ple of Western North Carolina. It occurs to us that the white eople of this sec tion had rights as w ell assavage Indians and that a North Carolina Kights Asso ciation should have precedence inthecon sideration of a proposition so grave as that of the very hazardous experiment ol entrusting untamed sn vanes, vindictive and revengeful, with the conduct of their unrestrained liberties among a jieaceful lieople, over a bcidv of humanitarians. with only a sentiment to indulge, or a theory to illustrate, without regard to consequences. It seems to us a bold vio lation of State sovereignty for a depart ment of the general government thus tc thrust upon North Carolina or any part of it, without first obtaining the concur rence of the State authorities and aster tainiug the will of the jieople of the sec tion most interested, a body of people as citizens, certainly, irinin link, most tin desirable, lierhaps intractable and dan gerous. The instincts of these Apachei do not weaken in captivitv. They were caught red-handed in the murder of tht whites, men, women and children, in the ruthless shedding of blood and pillage ol property, with the race, both a pastiim and a business. Kun down in their hor rid career of slaughter and rohlicry, noth ing but sullen acquiescence in the condi tions of captivity can l)e exiiected. Th pursuits, the habits, the thoughts of race born to blood cannot be effaced In the kindness of the captors. They know that it is a mailed hand that holds them Ije it ever so softly gloved. Who may not anticipate the ferocious exultation ol these warriors, restored at once to lib ertv, burning to avenge unnumbered wrong and ignominy, planting their feel once more on the sod of freedom. Moun tain wilds and deep and tangled forcsi may furnish novel form of warfare foi fighters of the 0en pldin. Hut they might soon lie solved, for vengeance slmrens thought and gives new edge to instinct. And the heights and depthsanil gorges of the Smoky mountains migh even baffle Miles or Crook todislodgetht vermin from their strongholds. They might be icaeeful. We doubt it The Creeks, the Cherokces, theChoctaw show some aptness for civilized life. The wild Indians of the plains, the Apaches. the Coinanches, the Kiowavs and other kindred human devils, never. It is a hazardous exjieriment, and we hope will not lie tried before the voice of North Carolina has a hearing as resjK-ct fill as that given to the Indian Kights Association. I I.OAIHI. When we commented upon Ciovcrnor fowlc's recent proclamation, we did with only the telegraphic abstract of the document lieforc ns. Since then we have read it in full, and must agree with the Charlotte Chronicle in the sentiment that the proclamation was a blank cartridge instead of lieing substantially charged with ball as the occasion demanded. The language is vigorous enough as an at stract generality. It does no harm forci bly to recall the people to a sense of re spect to law, and to remind them that there is a power in reserve able to enforce oliedience. But this is one of those very occasions when those powers should Ik- marshalled to the front in readiness for prompt action. There is no vagueness in the locality, none in the nature and grav ity of the crime; but there is in the instru ments acting in the crime. Now, this i the very object to which the law is to be directed, to hunt out the criminals, bring them to justice, and strip lynch law ol some of its growing popularity. Covernor Fowlehasadvanced farther than theState Executive has generally gone; he has de nounced lynch law and issued his pro clamation ol warning in general terms. lie has never once mentioned Morgan- ton; he has never designated the locality of any similar outrage. His apieat is only to the latent feeling of loyalty to the law which exists in the breasts of all irood citizens. Hut it is mere bratam I'ul- wen to the lawless, who, in their security of secrecy, laugh at windy words. What the occasion demands is vigorous deter mination to hunt these men out of their hiding places. The Governor in conjunc tion with the Attorney can devise meas ures for energetic action, and give vi tality to puqioses which derive little weighs from a generally worded pro clamation. DEATH OF PROF, MITCHKI.L, Which occurred in June 1857, attracted at the time wide interest in the scientific will, besides being the occasion of lamen tation throughout North Carolina. No man in the State was personally more beloved. No man was so widely person ally known ; for his habits of investiga tion which carried him into every county, almost to every household, in the State, placed him in easy familiarity with every one, and Prof. Mitchell was gladly wel comed by the head of the household, the mother ofthe family and ihe prat ting child from whom all shyness vanished in the I presence of the genial old jjciitlcmun who was as profuse in his caresses and his johes as he was in dispensing the stores of his exhaustless learning, or adding to it by his acute and characteristic inqnisi tivencss to which he made every source tributary. The State mourned the friend. the good man, the learned divine, the profound scholar, the deep scientist, and the scientific world generously acknowl edged the loss it hatl sustained. A good deal of information ol the incidents and circumstances attending the death of I'rof. Mitchel, obtained from jierson en gaged in the search for his body was published soon after the calamity. But no eye witness had ever detailed the event. We are enabled to supply that deficiency , anil call attention to the nar rative in this issue. , The Wilmington Messenger says: The grajic flourishes in almost any part ofthe State. We have seen a vine ol the ScupiHTiitnig covering a large square in a garden in Halifax county and not more than two miles from the Virginia line. We never saw grapes offincr flavor than were gathered from it. This writer has at Ins home in Oxford a large vine that would cover an acre no doubt if proicrly treliccd. The ScupiH'rnoug ot Warren and I'rmiklin is equal to thai in any other section. It will grow in any county east ofthe mountains, we have no doubt, and for aught we know on the very mountains themselves. The information we gave sonic time ngo in an article, or rather two ol thcni, which seems to have escaK'd the Mes senger, defined with tolerable accuracy, n the foundation of information anil ibscrvulion, the limits ofthe culture ol the Scuppernong grape. Il might grow on the southern borders of tide water Virginia, in Southampton and Bruns wick, with soil and climate not unlike Mir Halifax and Northampton where that L'rape docs flourish. But while il may grow west ol Orange and as far the Yadkin, il can hardly prosper in that icction; and it will neither grow noi flourish in the mountains, because of it susceptibility to cold. Supplied as mil narkets now are from the Seupieniong vineyards of tioldsboro and Fuvettcvillc there is a feeling of discontented envy that so luscious and so fragrant a fruit :annot lieour possession except at second hand. The determination ofthe railroad com panics concerned joiutlv to build a hand some and convenient passenger depot Kaleiuh is not only a long needed but wise and just measure. The- roads ow it to themselves to make a proier illus tration to those passing through th country through their public buildings presented to the passing eve. They are taken to icflect the habits anil stvle ol life of the adjacent icop1c. Shabby, neg lected, comfortless depots on their sur face bespeak a society whose home sur roundings and conveniences are on a par with these presentations of their public Mfe, and thus a great wrong is done which railroad companies ought to cor rect. And it is just to the people, from whose travel so large a portion of rail road revenue is drawn. 1 hey merit sonic acknowledgement in the form of comforts and conveniences, even elegance and luxuries, and also those distinction of position and sex, now confused with .so much enforced offcusiveness. Build good depots, beautify them inside and out, surround them with shrubbery and flowers, and then u hopeful picture ofthe social progress and refinement ofthe habitants of a country is presented. The Morganton lynching becomes more inexcusable, and more appalling when the belief gains strength that St.'ick, one f the victims, was an innocent man. II may have liecn guilty; he may have been innocent. Investigation under the pre- scribed forms of the law alone could have Ictermined the facts. The Charlotte Democrat thus spcaksol the effects upon the minds of the )eople of I'liion couihly, of which State was citizen : The iicople of I'nion county held meeting at Monroe, on lucsdnv last, to express their feelings of indignation at the lynching ot frank Stack, bv a mobot masked men at Morimnton, September 10. 1 He victim ol this outrage was citizen ol mat county, and known us a worthy and highly resjiectcd man, win necrtuiiy sunmitted to arrest uv reason oi tne implied promise ol a lair and im partial trial, upon which he averred he could fully establish his innocence. These facts aroused an intense feeling ut the terrible crime committed, which gave ex pression in the resolutions passed, which we print elsewhere. There is hoie that the hypocritical ne gro mama will me out in the coming generations, if not in this, and that the races will assume their natural relations to each other, in the South, with the na tive Southern element at all events. friendly ones. We clip the following straw from the Baltimore Sun : Many of the white children in the sixth public school district of Cincinnati have- mused to attend the school because col ored children have lieen admitted, and a juvenile race war, with rocks, is beinir daily carried on. Foraker mav have to can out tne militia to quell this rebellion against equal rights in the public schools.
