, Our European Correspondence Mb. Editor: It Is well known that Germany has acted the chief part in several great wars of late, in all of which the most astounding success has attended her arms. The long wished for and dreamed of Union of Father land has been accomplished, and al though it has cost the lives of many of her noblest sons, she now rejoices in roclaImIng to the world that Deutsch and is united ; that they now know no Prussian, no Saxon, no Bavarian, none other than German. I am pleased to state that while Germany has raised herself to the first military power in the world, she is content with what she . has gained, and her people are now en joying all the blessings of peace. The industrial pursuits, temporarily check ed by war, have already reached their former perfection; manufacturers are thriving; commerce is flourishing. The greatest confidence in the ability of the government prevails. In no other country docs there exist such har mony between the governors and the governed. The people have all the liberty they desire. Kecent victories, together with the mild manner in which the government is administered, lias silenced discontent and eradicated every spirit of Republicanism which may have been prevalent in former years. Heretofore I had supposed it an impossibility for the subject ol a monarchy to love his country sincerely, but now I - am convinced of my error. Some writer has been speculating upon the United States of Europe. Upon what recent developments ne can es tablish a plausible argument, I fail to see. It will be readily admitted that there has been none in Germany : cer tainly not iu Kngland, whore royal pre rogative is almost a nonentity, and we cannot judge by the revolution in France, since they are of frequent oc currence in that country. Labor strikes do not signify enough to indicate that a great political revolution is at hand. Only such rebellions as those of Cade and of Tyler may occur, which will be as speedily put down as called into ex istence. Russia is an absolute .monarchy. I will say here that the greatness of that government is much more favorably regarded in America than in Europe. The only government of which I can concieve of the possibility of a success ful revolution is that of Austria, and my only reason for this supposition is the existence of people of so many dis tinct nationalities within her domains. We know that the Hungarians have re volted in the present century, but were subdued through the interference of Russia. Germany would not now per mit Russia to interefere in Austrian affairs, since the German speaking pop ulation of Austria are desirious of Join ing the North German Union. Hence English lines. Few persons ride first class. All baggage must be paid for except what the passenger can store under his seat. They intend soon to introduce sleeping cars after the Amer ican pattern on some of the lines. Along the routes may be seen im mense helds of potatoes (Irish) which is one of the principal agricultural products. Large quantities of beets are also raised, from which the beet-root sugar is made.

The Hydraulic press is used in extracting the juice from the root. 1 he article made is, perhaps.not quite so sweet as cane sugar, but it answers .all ordinary purposes. Germany now favorably competes with Cuba, in supplying the English market with an article which was so long the monopoly of tropical countries. With respect to ? natural features. Germany is divided into three regions. Iherwrth region, a low sandy plain n rvi i tii I l i 1 1 v tnn rlinrv iniann o a far as 31adgtlurg and Dresden, is about one thousand kvt aoove the sea. The soil is poor and ret mi res much fertil izing. There are some lanre forests of pine, and hikes are numerous. Indeed this pan : .minds me of Eastern Jorth Carolina. The second region comprises the mountaneous district of Central Germany, the third comprises the hisrh table lands of the upper Daunbe. West oftlieVElbe timber: is scarce and the soil is rich. ! The Germans are a great people for hands of the slave were freed." Every; careful observer was struck most forcibly by thegreat order, deco rum arid dignity, . which the colored citizens; observed on this ever-memorable occasion. All seemed to be respect ful, qujpt and happy, while no disturb ance of any kind whatever, marred the enjoyment of the day. At 10 A. M., the call was sounded and those desiring to join in the pro cession '.assembled at the place designa ted, and formed in regular order under the direction of the Marshals and their Aids. j. i : The speaking took place from a stand erected on the Court House square. The (phairman of the meeting, Benj. Bryant, of Bertie, called the vast as semblage to order, and the exercises of the day commenced with prayer by itev.

Thi3 sauce is a great improvement to the sweet potato, and removes the dry ness of that vegetable. How to Cook Beaxs. Sort and wash them, and cover with lukewarm soft water to which a pinch of soda has been added. Let them soak, adding at times a little hot water, for half a day; pour off this water and fill with boiling water, allowing them to simmer till nearly soft ; place in an earthern bak-ing-dish,and in the middle of the beans bury a piece of salt pork ; for a quart of beans a piece as large as a good-sized egg is sufficient. Cocoantjt Pie. Grate the white part of the cocoanut, mix it with milk, and let it simmer ten minutes over the fire ; allow a quart of milk to a pound of cocoanut ; beat eight eggs thorough ly, and mix them with fourtablespoon fuls of white sugar and a glass of wine; then stir this into the milk ; add two teaspoonfuls of melted butter, a small cracker, and half a nutmeg; turn .the whole into deep pie-plates lined with paste-; bake immediately. Custard Pie. Allow three well beaten eggs to a pint of milk, in which a stick of cinnamon or a bit of lemon- peel has been boiled: add a little salt music ana amusement, it is not un common to see a large family every member of which performs on some instrument. Scarcely any one will ad mit that he is not a ludgeor music. The maxim "while we live, let us live" is nowhere else earned to such an ex tent as in Germany. Strange to say Sunday is the great day for excursions, balls, hops. &c. In this respect reu gious doctrines are interpreted in their widest sense. I am sure that in Amer ica, especially amonjr Methodists, to give a ball on Sunday would be ac counted such a sin as could not be eas ily atoned for. As to the business qualities of Ger mans it is sufficient to say that they are very slow, but quite successful as a rule. Here is not thatgo-ahead-a-tive-ness which is a characteristic of the American people. ' A German consid ers long and well before he will enter into any business transaction. They all think much of small honors. The manners of holding some of their meet ings is quite amusmgi - t or instance, suppose a meeting is to be held for the purpose of considering the propriety of starting a steamboat line.

But to return more nearly to the mat ter about which I purpose to write: . Germany may now be truthfully called a nation of soldiers. It is compulsory . upon every male inhabitant of the re quisite ability to serve a definite length of time in the army, at the expiration of which time he can be discharged. The soldiers' profession, though not lucrative, is looked upon as most hon orable. He is readily admitted to first class society, and at all public places he is assigned a superior position to that of the civilian. His profession is followed from motives of true patriot- icm o a tnmr KaIiai'a T rill you that after a lieutenant's uniform has been deducted he receives eight thalcrs ($..75 per month. Indeed his pay would be utterly inadequate, but for his receiving remittances from home. Before he gets his commission he must prove his ability to support himself as becomes an officer, and if he is to enter the cavalry service he must buy and equip his own " horse. Of course I refer to the officers in thearmy in the time of peace. The common sol diers are a sturdy, solid looking set of men," Who receive from thejrovernmen the bare sum of 2 silbergroshen (G cents) per day. Thearmy now amounts in round numbers to 350,000 men. Did they pay their soldiers at the same rate that we do ours, what an enormous ex Iense must be incurred in maintaining the army for a single year. Yet this army must be kept in an effective con dition, for they believe (and I expect with much reason) that the war with t ranee will be to do over again. Hu miliation and submission is not a char acteristic of the French people, and I suppose as soon as the internal troubles which now agitate that unfortunate . country are permanently settled that they will reorganize their armies with a view not only of regaining lost pos sessions, but of retrieving her former military glory,; which has been dimmed by the caprice of that imbecile, Napo leon the Less. But come when they t may they will not find Germany un prepared for them.. They will rally around the flag by that celebrated song, " Lieb Yaierland Kannst ruhig sein." Learning is in a higher state of per fection in Germany than elsewhere. Every child nas to attend school be tween the age of six and fourteen years, no matter how poor he may be be. Some of the oldest and most renowned col leges are to be found in Germany. Thus while every one receives a fair degree or learning, those who desire can pur sue the higher branches of the science at the .Universities of Berlin, Boun, Ilei dleberg and Jena. Many Americans are now being educated at these schools in preference toour own i ale, liar ward and Princeton. As a general rule North and Central Germany are Protestant; South Ger many is Catholic About , half a mil lion are Jews. The Catholics are di vided into two factions, the old and the new Catholics, who . are now engaged in cuttlnsr each. others throats. lJuoel linger of Munich, who has been excom municated is recognized as the leader of the old Catholics in opposition to in fallibility, lie is regarded as a man of very great ability but lacks energy. Nearly all of the learned men of the Catholic persuasion are with him in his movement against the Pope. The King of Bavaria is also said to secretly favor the old Catholics, but as he gov erns a Catholic population it is politic for him to remain quiet. A lengthy petition has been presented to the Em peror of Germany by the Alsatian Clersyt who demand as the price of their loyalty the abslute control of the schools and churches within the pro vince of Alsace. The Emperor is ab solute King in Alsace for the next two years, and as the royal family are Pro testant together with a great majority of the people, it Is not at all likely that this modest request of the Clergy will be granted. The Catholics of these days do not appear to be as sagacious : as they were in the days of the infancy J -or the Protestant iteligion. - Railroads in Germany are managed with such skill that few accidents ever occur. Though not so , pleasant as American, they are far superior to of Secretaries, door-keepers, &c., over which a great squabble takes place. After this has been decided, the Presi dent takes the chair then o very body speaks at the same time for ten or fif teen minutes when some one proposes to adjourn to the cellar, drink beer and talk it over, which proposition is agreed to. They drink, smoke, toast, sing and quarrel, and end the meeting in a row at a late hour at night. If you desire to please one of them, just send in your card and call him out of the meeting. By so doing, you give him a chance to feel and to show his presumed impor tance and' doubtless he will remark, oh there is Mr. Weyrs wants to see me,- I have so much to do, why could he not wait, but he never fails to come out and see you. Much time is spent in beer cellars or as we Americans say lager beer saloons. There is little likelihood that the friendly relations row existing between Germany and America will be soon disturbed. The people here seem to regard America but the offspring of Germany. It is true that we have many Germans in our country, and they are the best class of emigrants we get. ' Immediately upon their arrival on our shores thev set out for the far west, were they clear our forests and till our soil. But I fear immigration from Germany has reached its maxi mum, since the price of labor, the chief cause of immigration, has very much increased here. An able bodied man who was formerly paid five groschen per day in Russian silesia, now receives. htteen groschen. Cities in , uermany present to us Americans an odd appearance. The old sharp top houses with their . gable- ends fronting the street are still stand ing. Modern architecture has not yet entirely superseded the old. Streets are winding and 1 side walks narrow not of sufficient (width, for two beer drinkers to pass each other. Most of the large towns are surrounded by high walls and garrisoned. Some of the cities are paved with ordinary round flint rock without any pretension to evenness. In these cities it appears to me that in the construction of erood wagons the chief object of the architect was that they should make the most noise possi ble. And when they have a load of bar irnn nborird the noisfi mndo in p-ninnr over the rough pavement is almost un bearable. Ganat, after defining true or musical sound in contradistinction of noise, says : " There are said to be cer tain ears sufficiently well organized to determine the musical value of the sound produced by a carriage on the pavement." To such as find any harmonious sounds in ed to tlje Commettee of Invitation from Dr, P. -John, of Elizabeth City : OFFicE of the North Carolinian, Elizabeth City, N.

But for these I; should certainly be with vou and aid by my presence and my voice in celebrating an event that is destined to be memorable in American history. Ta me ihe day will always be one of special interest. From my childhood! have been opposed to the system that held yvu in Slavery. When quite a boy I ilead the narrative and personal history of that remarkable man of your race Frederic Douglas. His struggles for freedom, his aspirations for knowl edge, Kis longings for a higher and bet ter condition awakened my sympathies and aroused in me a determination to do what I could to ameliorate the condi tion oCthe colored people of this coun try, not because of their color but be cause they were denied the rights of our common humanity. To me it be came aquestion of principle. I believed the Bible doctrine that of one blood God created all the nations of the earth. and hence that the black man was not outside the pale of humanity, and that being a man he had the impulses, feel ings, desires and aspirations of all oth er men. Aye, and taking the ' patroit founders of the Republic at their word when they declared " that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain enaliena ble rights ; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,11 I felt that it was an injustice and a wrongj to deprive any portion of God's children of any one of these blessings, and hence from that time forward, with my voice, my vote and my pen, I co operated with the men and the party whose efforts at last were crowned with a success unparallelled in the world's annals saving a Kepubljc and adding In a single day over four millions to its citizens by releasing from the fetters of borrtlage every man, woman and child under the broad folds of its flag ! 1 It is proper that you should celebrate this day. .The act that makes it mem- orablejnot'only brought you out from the " prison house of bondage " but it was the culmination of the great prin cipal df Equal Rights upon which our free Republic rests. It restored to you Jong withheld rights made you free men, the political equals of all other men. With these rights came new re sponsibilities and new duties. Were I present to-day I would take occasion to impFeSs upon you the importance, to you as a. people, of embracing every opportunity and means possible to sti.ll better: fit you for these new duties the duties of an American citizen.

He re turned thanks to Almighty God, in that He bad preserved our lives, and blessed us with health, strength, and many of us with pros perity, through another year; and that we were enabled to come together on this the Ninth Anniversary of our . Emancipation, and again lift our. hearts and mingle our voices in praise and thanksgiving to II im and our great Government for the blessings and privileges which we this day enjoy as tree American citizens. That in coinmem orating this great day the day of our de liverance from bondage we might keep our eyes and hearts singly fixed to the hon or and glory of Him who gave it. That he would watch over and direct the delibera tions of the day. That he would bless each officer and speaker, and that the proceedings and utterances of the day might be such as would inspire each heart with a just and full conception of the magnitude and beneficence of His over-ruling providence. That might ever remember and honor the and fame of the immortal Lincoln, who suffered a martyr's death to the great and enduring principles of liberty. That while his body lies beneath the soil of his . native State, awaiting the summons of the arch angel, Gabriel, we trust his sainted spirit is with God in Heaven. That the day might speedily come when a more perfect freedom a more oneness of purpose a more union of sentiment, might obtain among the peo ple of this our beloved country and of the world.

The choir then sang, " My country, 'tis of thee, ! Sweet land of liberty," fec. j . After which Mr. Bennett B. Goiens was introduced, who read the Proclamation of Emancipation, with other documents and incidents touching the same, wrhich pre ceded its. issuance; all of which was per formed in a manner highly creditable not only to this promising young man, but to his race and to Raleigh his native city. Af teV the reading of the; Proclamation, , and music by the band, Chas. Nv Hunter was introduced, who read an extract from an excellent anniversary poem written by MrV J . Maddison Bell. After the reading of the poem, and music, Rev. G. W. Brodie, Ora toraf the day was introduced. Mr. Brodie be -gan by alluding to the great event which we were this day celebrating: It was one of the grandest achievements in the history of our Republic It was a time for rejoicing. All Americans should rejoice on this great day. lie spoke of the great and good Lincoln. The history of our country, though richly embellished with the names and deeds of some as great and noble men as the world ever knew, would point to Lincoln as her greatest benefactor. He has left her an im perishable legacy a priceless jewel the great boon of liberty, fcc. Unborn gener ations would learn to honor and bless his memory. Mr. B. proceeded in a plain, prac tical manner to impress upon his audience the great importance of education and econ omy. Men to become men, and nations to become nations, must be enlightened must be educated. If we would have our influ ence and usefullness felt and appreciated, we must acquire knowledge, knowledge is power. Upon the subject of economy, he spoke of the Freedman's Savings Bank, its utility; the great work which it has already done, and what it is still doing. The great and increasing success of this noble enter prise has far exceeded the expectations of its warmest friends. Chartered by Con gress just before the death of Mr. Lincoln, one of his last official acts, was to sign the charter, and add his hearty endorsement to this enterprise. The National Savings Bank was destined to become a great and powerful institution. Though millions had passed through its vaults, yet its. work had just begun. We should encourage and sup port it and labor to extend its branches in every part of the country, ne urged thetii to deposit their hard earned money where it would be perfectly safe, and at the same time yielding them interest. At the eon clusion of Mr. Brodies remarks, the Choir sang, "Land of the free:" when R. C. Badger, Esq., was introduced, who was followed by Mr. C. N. Otey, of Howard University, Hons. S. F. Phillips and J. H. Harris. All of whom made able and elo- auent speeches. During his remarks, Mr. Phillips spoke in high terms of the address delivered by Mr. Otey.- He had not heard a subject more ably treated by the seniors of Chapel Hill. He was proud that Raleigh could boast of so talented a young colored man. He trusted that many such would spring up among the colored race. After the speaking was over, the following reso lutions , were offered and unanimously adopted: RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, It is proper that we should celebrate this day as the day which history will point to. as the day upon which the fet ters of slavery were stricken from four mil lions of colored slaves ; and, whereas, It is important that this day should be celebra ted by our people just as the Fourth of July is celebrated by all Americans, that Eman cipation day may ever be fresh in the mem ories of the New Freemen of America ; and, whereas, We should by all honorable means endeavor ;to perpetuate the name of Abra ham Lincoln by celebrating this day, therefore, Resolved, That we return thanks to the Government of the United States for the blessings of Freedom which wre now enjoy. Resolved, That it is the imperative duty of the colored people to so conduct them selves, as to prove to the world that they are worthy to exercise the great and inesti mable rights of a free American citizen. Resolved, That while we have unbounded codfidence in the great National Union Re publican party, the instrument in the hands of the Almighty by which the colored peo ple were made free ; and while we believe it to be the duty of every colored voter now to support that party by his ballot and in fluence, yet we desire the time to come when we may cast our ballot for either par ty, and rest assured that our rights are se cure ; that we will hail such a aay as one ol "peace on earth and good will toward men." Resolved, That the name of Lincoln is for ever sacred in our hearts ; that we deplore his untimely death, but that his deeds will live when the mountains shall have de scended from their lofty prominence to the level of the plains ; and the influence of this great Republic shall have destroyed the last vestige of Kingdoms and Empires. Resolved, That our confidence in Gov. W. W. Ilolden is unchanged ; that he deserves our thanks in his exile Irom his native State, for his efforts to protect the weak and de fenceless of our race from the violence and oppression of the ku-klux klan ; and that the day is dawning which shall I return him to our midst, crowed with the honors of a life spent in the service of his country, and as the protector of the defenseless of both races in this State. ! . Resolved, that we earnestlv hope the day of murder and outrage for opinion's sake is at at end ; and that peace and ! tranquility will return to our land, when the highest object of all parties and all classes will be the Aveliarei, prosperity and happiness of the entire people. Resolved, That this century ;of progress and civilization demands the absolute eman cipation of every race which is now held in bondage. i Resolved, That we do heartily endorse the Suplimentary Civil Rights Bill; now before Congress, and that we do hereby earnestly petition Congress for its passage. Resolved, That the above resolutions, to gether with the proceedings of this meeting, be iurnisned The JS ew JXational Kra and The Carolina Era, and that the city pa pers be requested to copy. DR.

' ' In calling public attention to this little machine, a few of the invaluable qualities, (not possessed by any other washing ma chine yet invented,) are here enumerated. It is the smallest, most compact, most portable, most simple in construction, most easily operated. A child ten years old, with a few hours practice, can thorouchlv com prehend and enectuaiiy use it. . There is no adjusting, no screws to annoy, no delay (n adapting! It is always ready for use! It is a perfect little wonder I It is a miniature giant, doing more work ' and of a better quality, than the most elaborate and costly.

Dear Sir: It is not in my power to be with you at your celebration of Emancipa tion. . Allow me to sa$ that on that Anniversary you should pledge yourselves to insist upon equal rights, and not to stop until they are secured. ' f There is a bill now pending in the Senate having this object. Will not our colored fellow-citizens . help its passage? They should make themselves felt, j . ' How a Republican can hesitate, it is dif ficult to understand especially a Republi can owing his seat to colored votes. There are some who were for amnesty fiist. I am for justice first. I begin with justice to the colored race. When this is assured, it will be easy to grant the other. j Accept my thanks for the invitation with which you honored me, and believe me, dear sir, faithfully yours, I CHARLES SUMNER. Chas. N. Hunter, Secretaryj fec. f Raleigh, January 1, 1872. To Messrs. Friday Jones, Chairman, Ac, and others : I have received your polite invitation " to attend the celebration of the ninth anniver sary of the Proclamation of Emancipation, on January 1st, 1872." I That the annual return of this day should be held in reverence and everlasting mem-r ory by the colored people of the United States, is natural to the human race. Personal lreedom is God's great gift to the chief creature of His almightv hand. Per sonal freedom is the basis of social cultiva tion and political elevation. When used to promote these glorious ends, it is the grand source of all human good. When employed in subserviency to ignorance and. corrup tion, it. becomes the greatest of all human curses. Let us all of every race and! color ever bear in mind that personal freedom is worthless as a national blessing, unless its great ambition be to exalt and honor virtue and intelligence. . My engagements on this day will not al low of my presence at the celebration. Respectfully yours, B. F. MOORE. DR. CROOK'S COMPOUND SYRUP OF POKE ROOT.
