It is remarka'de that m the fii.-; rive yi' trs oi tl.c third period, tlie total exportation i f domestic lice was greater by nearly 40 per cent, than in the eleven years subsequent. The rice industry of the South was practically commenced anew during j this period, and if It had any en-! couragemeut at all.' it was in the! protection afforded by the import1 tax ou foreign rice. This was. equivalent to giving the home pro- 1 ducers a start of. say SO per cent, j ad valorem in the home markets ; against the foreign grain delivered duty paid. But even with this ad vantage, while the prices glittered, . they were not necessarily protira- j ble. The crops were cultivated for many years at extraordinary cost ' and at great hazard. These em barrassments were diminished m process of time, and meanwhile, as labor became more ellicieut and ; less costly and the consumption of j rice inereased. so the area of culti- : vation and production expanded, j But at no time since ist."j couid rice have been cultivated as a staple product without the protection af forded by the import duty on for eign grain. It is certain that with out discouragement the domestic production will by the expiration of the present decade be equal to the amount in 1850, and will be larger than will be demanded by the do mestic consumption. This result: will be practically accomplished as ; soon as the great labor-saving ma chines of the recent system of grain j culture become modified so as to be ' applied to the peculiar necessities of rice husbandry. "In con clusion."' says the memorial, the facts relating to the American rice ' industry lor the past sixteen years go to prove that it is an example j where the taxation of a foreign : product is sound policy if not the ; duty of the government: First, for the prevention of a monopoly in either the domestic or foreigu prod uct to the advantage of the domes tic consumer as well as ot the do , mestic product. Second, for the encouragement and permanent establishment at h.-me of an indus try necessary to arb-rd food hospital supplies in time of war. and so to promote national independence. Third, because protective taxation has been cleaily educational to the dome-tic product, practically devel oping if from its infancy until it has reached the promise of such suc cessful permanence as in reasona ble time to become independent of protection." y,n. N"icu"r.i.s will At. si i rra; SK NT A MKM'iRIAI. from Co'. .John Screven, of Savan nah, officially representing the rice industry of Georgia, praying that the pre-ent tarilV on idee be retain ed, with tacts showing the absolute neeesMty lot such protection. The following is a synopsis of Col. Scre ven's memorial: It is now, he says, the commencement of the year, and the planters should commence op erations tor the new crop. The agitation of the tariff is giving them such concern that there is a general tear that their investments, going back, in some instances, more than a hundred years, will have to be abandoned. Credit is seriou-l impaired, and some ot' the most liberal bankers and factors are calling in their loans, thus crippling many and ruining some of the planters. It is. therefore, import ant that it should be known as soon as possible what is intended to be done as to the duty on rice. Tin-ie is great fe.u that some ad-ri-i- measure may be sprung in t'ne i oi:,i!ji; tec on Wa - anil Means, and the li.e lnilu-'.sv siill'eis there 111 the VelV outset. Col. SeleVell gives facts demonstrating the rea sons for this anxiety and mistrust. He refers to the increased impor tation of Hawaiian nee. faking advantage of the American market duty free, the whole Hawaiian crop is sold in the United States at an enormous profit. The American nee industry under the ruling of the Tiea-iiis 1 cp.trtii:eiit ot last sum mer i- H" labi'iiiig under con: pe tit'.on mure severe than it has en countered under the i'id t.U ill. and further leduction ci tia- duty must bring absolute 1'i.n.

A Lively Time with Hoars. K. II . Rawles proposed that we take a bear hunt on Monday morn ing. We made every preparat ion the evening before, and after a hearty breakfast, at .1 o'clock mount ed our horses for the hunt. We were provided with Winchester rifles and three well-trained bear dogs. After a run of about an hour they came to bay. We hitched our horses and crawled through the brush to t'ne dogs. 'The under growth was so thick that we could not see ten feet ahead of us, but at last we found the bear, a large brown one. perched on the limb of a large pine tree, abour a hundred feet from the ground. We took po sition and commenced tiring. Bears are very tenacious of Pie and this one proved no exception to the rule, as we each tired three times before he fell. When we reached him he w as dead. We now started back, intending to cut a way in from our horses and to jiack him out. but we had not proceeded one hundred yards when the dogs became very excited and com.uteu.ced barking up another tree. Looking up we discovered two bears, a brown one and a black one. lying close together on a large limb. We took position with the understanding that I was to take the brown, and Mr. Bawles the black one. dust as we got ready to tire 1 cast my eye down the tree, and near the ground, 'lie lunsh having obstructed ii'.er view. I dis covered a large beat hanging to the side of a tree broad -ide to me. Ml . Rawles, being further lound. could not see it plain, and told me he would reserve his file and lor me to go for him. I wa- about forty leet from ii and liled twice, when It tumbled. b.ull w ouinleil. We now turned our attention ; the other two. in the tree. At the first fire they commenced bawling the b liking ot the dogs, the bawl iug of the bears and the rapid ti. iiig of our W mehestei s made it lively. I can as.-ure nu. We tired tiiiee shots apiece before they fell. One of them was pretty lively when he readied the terra tirma. and i; ie quired t wo nioi e shot s, at a dist .nice of ten feet, to kill him.

When wo came up we found it up a large macondra tice. about thiity feet ti' iu the ground. He looked to me to be as largo .is a :"our- ear old bullock. He was bad ly wounded, but still able to make an ugly light . He fell at the tit -t til'e, but lodged : Ii the folks of I la tree ; but three or moie shots apiece brought him to the ground.

Notwithstanding everybody says hai ii times with us. you can see plenty of the legal fraternity busy as bees some days in Trenton. They must be doing a thriviuK business, unless they are work mt on time. The w eather has been so bad that the fiirmers are progressing but slowly in their farm operations but they are do in ; ail they can. hoping that the good lime is just a little further on when bright sunshine will dry their fields so they can plow them. Tile horse and mule trade is extreme ly null with us this season. The time men who furnished the croppers last season had in many instances to take their stock back again or else run them over another year with but a dim hope of bettering themselves. There is one thing that has helped to ruin many of the Jones county farmers, particularly the colored farmers, and that is fast riding with little feed; and another one is top buggie-8 to ride to church on Sundays 10 or 15 miles after a hard weeks' ploughing. Tw o of our Trenton merchants en quired of me on Saturday last if I knew the price of lard in New Berne. I re frrrrd them to the Daily Journal and they got Friday's paper and could not find the lard in it. It has been so long since any country lard has been in mar ket that we don't know how to quote it. Kd. j Mr. Louis 11. Mallard has raised and sold this season thirty dollars' worth of rutabegas on one-half an acre of land, besides what he used for the feeding of his stock. Mr. Mallard sav-s that ruta bagas beats cotton all to pieces. He manured them with Long's chemicals and stable manure. I will send you, as soon as I can obtain it, the manner in which he mixed together the chemicals and stable manure, also his plan of cul tivating them. Corn would sell high in Jones county, if the people had the wherewith to get it. for every one you talk with nearly says he believes that it will be high in the summer and two thirds of them say "I shall have to buy." I hope our farmers will try to shorten their cotton farms and enlarge their corn and oat farms, plant chufas. I find them the poor man's friend. You can fatten! more pork on one acre in chufas than : you can fatten with five in corn. ! News is scarce this week. Evervbo j v i has gone to work in earnest to prepare j their farms for croping. Money is ; scarce but I see that the farmers have . commenced their old business to raise i the wherewith to ran their farms Mortgaging. I notice that our Register of Deeds has had to call in help to keep I up with them. Our farmers will never j succeed any better until they can change j tins time svstem, which is certainly J making the mo-t of them poorer every year. Mr. Pete Andrews, w ho resides about 17 miles from New Berne, on the Trent ; road, is the neatest farmer in Eastern j North Carolina. He has the straightest corn row s, the smoothest potato ridges, ! and the cleanest fence corners, and his I ditches re always wed off of every par- i ticle of grass whenever he hoes his crops, j Whether it pays or not. it shows neat-1 ness. Mr. Andrews raises excellent crops ami his land is not as rich as some i others whose crops are not as fine as his. The convicts will be here on Saturday the (th inst. to commence work on the Trenton and Core Creek road. Capt. Page is working like a beaver calling on the farmers for teams and wagons to, haul them over here from Onslow coun-1 ty. A large force. I understand, is t preparing their quarters for them. ; They are building them near Mr. B. Mo: ton's, about three miles from Tren-t- 11. The farms of Mr. B. Morton and Mr. Thos. Harrison will be enhanced in value at least one-'hird by having a good outlittothe New Berne road when his new road is completed. I hone our farmers will use more li"m--maue manure this season than Usu al. Every one is scraping and gath i ring together till that he can of woods ra ul-1. ditch bank and fencelock. It w ill pay every farmer to scrape out his iYi.ce locks un.i if he can't haul them away, let him throw it out into the held in heaps and then pick it up and pitch it further in. By this means ho can in a ' sh' rt time improve several rows of corn ail an und hij farm. I have tried it and it pay-. I consider it the best way to g t it out. Just try it and you will cer tainly be convinced that it will pay you hi tter than hauling it. Another very important thing our farmers don't at-t'-n I to is raising hogs, w hich is one of the easiest things to do. if thev w ill give their hogs ucli attention as they need. Some of our fermers say it don't pay to rii.-e hg.: I don't suppose it does. uch hogs as sena- farmers raise, a year and a half 1 1 1 ar. 1 only weigh a hundred ; .r.i.'ls. If you wall give your hogs two ..irs ,;' 1. a n a day from the time they are littered until you get ready to put up to f'..tten. they will weigh you over 1 pounds by t'ae time they are hfteen months old. You must give them, say to c.eh hog. about one teaspoonful of; lime oia-e a fortnight and you need not have any fears of the cholera and when voi.i slaughter them you will discover that your hogs are clear of worms. 1 1 hi 't shut cut your sows from the pips, but throw Un corn in the ear t" them -o ; 1 a -o-.v can get the better .share.

All the convicts are in the new -, r. and the hospital is now in the admii a lay heated main building. The hospital wing is nearly completed aDd in this the sick will soon be quartered. There are hospital wards on three floors, the rooms numbering six in all, the dimen sions being very large, and the lighting, ventiliatlon, etc., admirable. Ou the lower floor two of the great room are l. J l 1 .1 o...i 1 I tu un uheu tta ii uuapei au ciiiiuny hiiiimii . room. A heavy partition wall separates r the rooms, but at one end this does nut reach the cross wall, so that one stand ing at that point can see all over both rooms. Very soon the old wooden dic ing hall, so many years in use as a chapel, w ill be no longer used. Everything at the penitentiary, as in all the State in stitutions, is progressive and in the line of improvement. The tower of t'ie tier of cells is receiving the finishing touches, and considerable interior wor! is going on. The tier of women's cells, which composes a separate buiiJing some distance in the rear of the main, is nearly ready for occupancv. Strange to say. the number of women in the penitentiary remains about the same year after year. They are now iu a wooden two-story building, wliiclj is inside the great all but has a separate stockade around it. Xewsand Obxeri- ?-. North Carolinians to Wear Hie Uliie. The ofHcers of the Wilmington Light Infantry, in this city, have received an order from Adjutant-General Johnstone Jones prescribing a uniform for the officers and privates of the State Guard. The object of this order being to have all the companies composing the State Guard to be uniformed alike. The lull dress for privates will be a double breasted tunic of dark blue cloth; skirt to extend one-third the distance from the hip-joint to the bend of the knee; two rows of buttons, seven in each low: collar same height as for officers' coats. fac d with scarlet cloth, four inches back on each side, cut square, to hook up close in front: number of regiment in white metal in middle of scarlet fac ing of collar on each side: slashed cuffs of scarlet cloth, tw o and one-half inches wide, with three small buttons; skirt of coat on each side of the opening behind to be faced with scarlet cloth, ornamented with four buttons. T o straps of dark blue cloth, piped web scarlet, let into the waist seam on e n ii side the coat, and buttoning above liie hip. to sustain the waist beit. All officers shall wear a double breast, d frock coat, of dark blue cloth, tho sknt to extend from one-half to three-fourths the distance from the hip-joint to the bend of the knee. The Confederate gray is entirely ig nored. United States regulation uni forms being adopted instead of tbTjiv. All officers and men will wear h.elrrMs of felt. U. ti.. regulatiou patterns. rx cept that on breast of spread eauie in front the arms of the State of North Carolina shall be displayed in white metal. Helmet for officers to have chlnchain and spike, but no colds or tassels: those for enlisted men to have spike and leather chiustrap. Plumes lor general and field officers, white buff. do hair. The age of ""reconciliation" or "'re nunciation" has dawned upon Ninth Carolina at last, when our troops ihai the blue. We would rather have seen them continue with the gray, however. It is a color which has been honored and ennobled in a hundred hot lights and North Carolinians have especial cause to feel proud of that color and proud to wear it. 117. Rern'ir. Nharp-Shootiiiir.
