Iu the approaching election, no man is disfranchised, who ever was entitled to vote. 2. A new registration will begin about the loth of October, and every voter, old and new. must register. 3. There are 140,000 white voters in - ' " North Carolina, and 70,000 colored voters, in round numbers, a majority of 2 to 1. 4. Although the whole of the colored vote should be cast against the Con servatives, (which will not be the case,) and 35,000 white votes added, SEY- uuuwiJ wm sun carry tne oiate, n a iuu vote bo polled. 5.

Now tbat the tiino is Bpproacbing to save cabbage for winter, tbe following instructions, iuicij iuiy luuuniu uv.wuu, tich we clip from an exebange, may o value to some of our readers in wbich be the surrounding country : 4 Prepare straicbt slender poles (pine - I 4 or other) three inches in diameter, of proper length, say eight teet : clear on your ground, and commence as tliougn you were going to build a plain pen, three-cornered, usinsr two poles instead of one, so as to make each side or wall i i i i uounie, wnu a space oi.eiguL mcuu between the poles. At one corner an opening is left two and a half feet wide, for a door or entrance. To close and make secure, a cheap batten door 9 may be maue, auu iiingea to posts or . t . i I jams fastened to the wall of poles, af ter the fence is completed. The hrst tier or floor ot poles having, been ar ranged.put on a row of cabbages.- The roots occupying the space between tho poles, and the -heads turned in and pressed compactly together. Cover the roots with triable-soil, and place on another tier of poles and cabbages, and continue filling up the space each time with sou until you have gained lime wiwi ouii iiniii uu uncu the requisite height. A lew poles thrown across the top, and a heavy covering of pine tops, corn stalks or any litter that will hirmsh a secure covering, is all that is necessary to complete the house. , Com stalks, or some other protection, should be placed against the outside for fear of severe freezes, &c. A trench should be dug around the outside, and the dirt thrown against the cornstalks. They will serve to render the floor or inside dry. The cabbdges thus housed will be very convenient of access in mid win ter. ana wi l continue as iresii as n buried in the ground. All that is ne cessary is a knife, with which you ?u Vl,"t at ,in,e' leaving the stalks to give you a of early colewort in the spnng. Weevil in Barns. A correspond ent of the Cultivator in speaking of the difliculty farmers experience in keep ing their barns free from weevil, says : "I have found, after about fifty years trial with them in several different places, that after newly taken sheep- skins are dried and put in the bins of grain, the weevil has always disappear ed very shortly, and to prevent its re turn, I always keep the sheep skins m the bins on the top of the grain, and stabling sheep m a barn for a week or two will drive them entirely off.". We may. add that several old farmer have told us that the plan above has proven effectual in their experience. -Ti.. ..... . . . . v A ..... , x past It is simple, and not much trouble to try, and if it is efficacious will certainly repay rny one for keeping it up VALUABLE TO FARMERS. The leaves of the elder, if strewn among corn or other grain when it is put in the bin, effectually preserves it from the ravages of the weevil. The juice will also kill bed-bugs and mag gots. The leaves of the elder scatter ed over cabbages, encumbers, and oth er plants subject to the ravages of in sects, will effectually shield them. The plum and other fruits may be sa ved by v. ..; '. ii ' i i i placing in tuc orancnes ana among them, bunches of elder leaves. Tiie Hop Crop a Failure Hop s AT A Discount.

Treasury ' Department, Office of Internal Revenue, Washington, October 2, 18G8. Sir, I have received the plan and survey of the Oakland distillery, No. 2, in your district: In the survey you state that the average fermenting pe riod varies from sixty-six to seventv i . - . two hours. The lermeutmg period must be fixed aud definite ; it may bo from sixty-six . to scyeuty-two hours, but the distiller in his notice cannot bo permitted to state it as averaging from sixty-Six to seventy-two hours. r You also state that the distillery produces two kinds of whiskey, by means of a wooden still, to make the singling or low wines, which are then doubled in a copper still. The plan shows two copper still and one wooden still, to each of which is attached a worm or condenser. . asi understand, your Rtiitmnnt Mr MVrrmo-lv nrmlnr-As in the first place, low-wines or siuglinga entirely, ana tins ue reaistuis, tnero by increasing the proof to the, degree required. v VJ .1:', This is clearly in violation of the law and cannot be permitted. The sing lings or low-wines, produced by him in this way, are distilled spirits, as defined in section 4, and as such arc subject to the law imposed on distilled spirits, and must come directly from the room to the receiving cistern, . ami from thence to the distillery warehouse; and before they can be redistilled they must be regularly withdraw n there from, upon the payment of tax, and even then such distillation cannot be made upon the distillery 'premises; but if made at all, it must be made in the same premises authorized by law to be used by the rectifiers :The law is clear and explicit in rela tion; to the matter, and you will see that distillers in your "district ebnform to the requirements; and Mr.MattingIy cannot be permitted to use his distil lery until the required changes are made.."; .r ... : . : j vf Very, respectfully, Tnos Harlan. , To Edgar Xeedham Esq.)
