North Carolina ia fast taking the lead in cotton manufactures Georgia has been left, and now it bids fair to show up ahe id of South Carolina, and will lead all the Southern States. It has made wonderful progress in the last few years, and as its resources become more wide'y known, it must even be greater. Augusta has long called the Lowel of the South, but it looks now as if Weldon, 4 'old Wei don," will soon be entitled to that distinction it building mills can make it so. Weldon or the Rapids promises to be come one of the greatest manu facturing places in the world. And it is but an illustration of what may be expected of the South, and more especially North Carolina, when its great and unrivaled resources become known. Though one great drawback against whi h we have not Here tofore had to contend and which it is to be hoped we may n t have to, is undesirable im migration North Carolina's slow sure and steady progress has be n the result of an u mixed population a population which has been content to do, and rest under the shade ol its own vines and ti r trees or go abroad md add honor to an adopted State. North Carolina is on the high road to prosperity, but one storm cut many ruts in that road. That storm was the Doiurlas Legislature. If the State can only be reoVHmed a still brighter industrial era will dawn. Mnv it be so. anoti As II N UISANCE. "Music hath charms," b it every thing which can toot a brass horn can't make music and this fact is pai-. fully illus trated, almost nightly, to our citizens, by the -olored brass band here. The way one, two or three members have of 'toot ing' all over town at all hours .f rhM niht disturbing the quiet of sleeping peaceful citi zens is a nuisance, far worse than a few boys singing sacred songs on the public square on Sunday nights, and should be stopped. There is almost gen eral complaint about it. Now the colored brass band has just the same rights and privileges that any other would And have a perfect right to practice. Bnt no band, or any thing else, should be allowed to continually, night after night keep the town awake with dis cordant notes of stentorian sounds. We wo jld call the attention to the town council to this mat ter, and suggest that they pass an ordinance, limiting the prac ticing of the band 10 one or at most two nights duing the eek so that we can have a little rest. CUBAN PAPEES EOASTS US- HIE END. After a continuance of three weeks, we this week come to the end of our article. "The Seize ot Plym outh." This interesting sketch of the seigeof our towa by the confederate was written by Oapt. Charles T Loehr, and has been copied by ns from King's Weekly, Greenville. N, C. The Weekly ia'publiaiim? a ser ies of articles on the late war. all of which are interestie. Those of our older citizens who were here during the seige of the town, and who have lead the arti cle which ends to-day, eay that it giyesja correct account of the pro ceedings.

Kegiment have kicked because that regiment was not mentioned, while thev claim it did some of the most effective righting. We have opened - our columns to them for their part, but none have given U. We think Ex-Gov Jams was in that regiment- Will he remain silent on such important points of history ! There certainly ought to he some means of dealing with such patients (?) as .Johu C. Davis. Twice now has he escaped from the asylum. From the circn instances his trial his insanity is doubtful and his plans of escape show some sense. We shall always be lieve he ought to be in the peniten tiary. A dispatch to the Wilming ton Messenger concerning his re capture said. -'Davis neither rR-i nor acted like au insane man." And that is about our opinion of him. The investigation of the insur ance irauas at Beaufort must have created a sensation, beyond the magnitude of the frauds if we are to judge by the amounts of the bonds required of the parties for their ap pearance before the Superior Court It peems that it must le a small enme to require only a $400 bond. We expected to hear of bonds np in tbousauds. A Very Peer Opinion cf Undo Sia- Mr J Nelson Potnauius, of New Orleans, who is closely identified with the Cuban interests and who is on terms of intimacy with the lead ers, has received some Spanish pa pers in which are contained interest ing data about the Cuban revolu tion. El Pueblo, oi Puerto Principe, a rampant red-hot government paper which was formerly a defender of home rule, but under the influence of llafel Montoro aud other home rule leaders, has. turned tail and gone over completely to the government- Seakingof the revolution aud its progress, it sayd editorially : lt seems strange that the inhab itants of a country which enjoys more liberties thau our much boast ed master republic, the Uuitd States, should reM agaiLSt as good a government as Spam has gieu the island. The personal liberties enjoyed here, the taxation of .prop erty and the conduct of the gov ernment bear favorable comparison with that of the United States with its much vaunted form of republi canism. No one sees in this coun try or in Spain the labor troubles and riots which daily disgrace the name and smirch the national honor of our next door neighbor. No one sees men in high stations bargaining their honor and their influence for a few thousand dollars, aye, even to men high in government ofllces, wl o spawning on the public Treasury forget the duties due their count rv and allow their iusatiable search of gold to rotten their inmost thought. The United States is a country of gold and her inhabitants, from the meanest to the highest, are all gold lovers, and in thnt 'model country' gold is the key which otn tu doors to all things and all places. As a consequence of this ennditiou of things the country is in tbe 1 throra of disintegration, an,! t,nt eyeu rneir m-called statesmen are ble to pilot the unfortunate 'model republic out of its present trouble. - L'he present problem in the I'm-u-a Starrs 13 such that it is (ho laugiii.i slock ol all nations, and a more ia pliable scene than that of Connives during the last tai iff de bute caini.t I found in the annuls ofhiatoty. Fu thermore, the gov- rniiM ht at Washington while on the one hand it endeavors to be as honest as possible, the fear of losiug ihis and that contingent of yoters imluces it to defer and poct-pont- all action which may injure inai pimciiiar class ol meu, to the uetrmient of many millions, and this is called politics.
