Travy San not be spared at this juncture; hut Edmunds is large euuugh tor tbe empty bench. Russia is said to be again mas aing troops on the German and Austrian frontiers. Russia has been massing troops ou these fron tiers at frequent Intervals for about two hundred years; bat she has been extremely careful not to cross tbem exept as an ally of Germany or Austria.

Democracy of North Carolina in yew : tne Dexi campaign. Ji,rery element hive'f strength must be consulted, ! arery interest conserved and every section placated. Concord, bar mony, resolution, and united action are necessarary to success.

Tbe Alliance Is not a political; organization. Tbe members of the . . . I " v " " " " the same footing as other Demo - crats, and the danger that once threated to disrupt the party is past. The State convention will be a convention of tbe Democratic party and its nominees will be supported by the yeomanry that crushed out Republican domination, and es tablished the rule of tbe people in the Old North State. We confess a warm personal partiality for Auditor Sanderlin, bnt we shall be tor tbe nominee of tne parry whoever he may be. "JUSTICE TO THE LOYAL SOUTH." The Washington Post, of the 27th inst., has an article nnder tt e above caption, containing the fol lowing paragraph: "It is evident not only lrom tbe atteranct-s of Southern members of (JougieM and of the Soatheru precis, but from actual proffers of support made to tbe administration m various States, that in the event of war with Cbili. or any oTber power, the Government would be unstained at the South with quite as much loyal enthutu nnca as by any other section of tbe couutry. "Ten days' notice ia all we want," eays Arijc. Gen. Files, oi AikauaHS, "to put 1.000 men of ibf organized State militia and 1.000 volunteers in the field," and the -a me readiness to respond to an c llthatmaj be made for troops l manileeted in all directions wi b m regard to sec ion or politic This tact ot itself should finally ami lorever settle all question thai may yet be entertained at tbe North as to the thoroughly patriot ic attitude of the South toward the Federal Union." This is not tbe first time that the Post has exerted its potential in fluence to allay sectional animosity, and restore the Union in tbe spirit of enlightened patriotism and cor dial brotherhood. Bat, the exhibition of loyalty is nothing new at the South. The moment the South laid down her arms tbe national sentiment re vived, and the broken remnant of the heroic army that held itscolois on the perilous edge of battle until the giant mind of Davis was impo tent to plau and tbe matchless genius of Lee could no longer exe cute, turned from the burial of the flag they loved so well, to salute the Star Spangled Banner, tbe proud ensign of the American public. Never for one moment since war has the South hesitated to her tribute to the Union. Her tient endurance of wrong is Re- the paj pledge ot her fidelity for all time to oorae. The Post conclades its article with these wise and patriotic wordi-: Why, then should there be a day's delay in effacing from tbe tatute-boks all restrictions that have strangely been permuted to linger there whereby the veterans ot tne Southern CoDfederrcy are disabled from holding commission -i . f .1 .

The rapidity of preparation and the alacrity with which the men of every section of tbe Union volun teered showed the United States to be a military power of the first magnitude. Her standing arm y is relatively small, hut volunteer organizations exist in every com munity that are ready at any mo mt-nt to retpoud to the call of the country. Much has been said of Minister Egan. He has been tbe sut jec: ol severe animadversion, but th President applauds him to tbe echo. "There Cannot be bO much Bmokr j without some fire." It will be hard ! cc convince the public that tbe appointment of Mr. Eg in wai a wite one: His fidelity to hie I Government is mo-t. commendable. J out he is wanting in the, suaviter j in modo no essential to the popular ity of public men. I Menis that Mr. Egau offended the Chile ans more by his personal bearing than by officials acts. We truit that a brighter future is before our sister republic of tbn South. May prosperous winds fi 1 the sails ol her commerce, and pence, plentiousness and prosperity be within her borders. COTTON. It ii gratifymg ttj know that the planters of the couutry see the necessity of reducing the cotton producing area, and so diversifying their crops as to be self sustaining, while contributing to the food and clothing nupply of tbe world. Cotton cannot be relegated to a second class position amoag the wealth producing products of the country. It enters into so mans fabrics and has been so universally distributed amonz th9 nations that the demand for it is impera-; IL C (1UU ninuigu li LU itnt'Di It enters into tbe elegant trojsseau of the fashionable bride, and the scant covering of the un tutored savage: it furnii-bes mate rial for the sails of the world's commerce, and the thread of th--olitary seamstress who stitch In stitch pays for tbe biead of her child Cotton will always be in demand aud when the supply is reduced to the limits of the demand, the crop will alwass be remunerative. The idea of abandoning tha pro - duction of COttOn IS nuwi.e. It IS the sorest money crop that can be raised. Indeed it is about tbe only croo that is always in market, and for which a de.nand always exists. It Seems to us that it is the par-, of wisdom lor our planters to raise their provision supplies and larm animal, and rely on cotton only lor tbe means of procuring whdt can not be raised on the farm Some times the araouut realised on cot- safe crop.

Q K Baoby'u eoica to WBshinaton 'o secure a paieiit for a cotton chopper which he haa inventsd. The patent hag not jut been ie?ueJ, but the in Vt-ntion ia protecieJ by the application. 1 and one of iho implements will be on j exhibition at the New Berne Fair. Mejsrs. O. H Watare & Son are now building it. Ttie chopper not only ihina out the cotton but piowo it and id intended to ! do the work of tn hnea ar,A iirJ. plows. The chopper runs on two wheels Extending from eiie to eide at lha rear of the wheels is a metal bar to whioh six hoes placed 2 iuccea apart are at tached. The boos go in the ground a quarter of an inch deep, and baiox run aorots the rows ol cotton, of course out down all exospl the plants that sttod in the 2 inch tpaoes, and a knife boltsd on either eide of each hoe which goes 2i inohes deep, plows at the same operation both Bides of the cotton, and as there are twelve of ih-3 knives it is eay to ste that the work thoy perform is equal to twelve pljwa.and people who are used to fartr.iag operations can easily tell that it would be good work for ten haride to chop out as large an area as the chopper can travel over. One man and one horse ii the force te quired to run each chopper, and when ever the chopper is moving over places where it is not being used one mover meat cf a lever in a ratchet frame will lift the hoes above contact with the ground, and the depth wf work can be regulated by the same means, though tbe depth spoken of is considered the proper one. Dr. Bag by wi.l bivo photographs of the chopper taken, and after implement manufacturers have had their attention attracted to tbem will decide upon arrangements for manufacturing and placing them on the market.

Seo. 12 This o-dinance to take rfiVct on May 1, 18S3 We trust that the above presentation of facts and suggeetiens will enable Fruit and Vegetable Growers to appre ?iate tbe importance of prompt and concerted action in this matter; ihe im mediate adoption of packages of stan dard sizs as set forth above will oertain ly place the business of shipping and distributing these goods upon a better asd mora aatiafaetorv basil than ever before. For the Fruit and Produce Trade Asso- ! ciation of New York, 1 John Nix . I J. H. Killouoh, Wm. J. Phillips, S. B Downed. Committee. i As etted abeve, a prime reason why the adoption of the a'ove ordinance is urged is on accouot of the many differ ent fcizas and shapes of packages used which has always been objectionable and a eubj ict of annoyance tj commis sion men and produce dealers general ly. The retail men are working to secure the piesing of the above ord i nanoe but it will make a needless increasi of work, expenee and delay, and thj N. Y. Fruit and Produoe Ex change is striving to defeat it and to that end they have recommended oer tain shapes and sizes of crate and barrels as the most desirable and are doing their utmost to secure their im mediate adoption all over the oountry. To accede to the riquest and promptly fall ioto line with tbe movement will be for the bene6t alike of growers, -idlers and consumers Tomorrow we will give in full the recommendations of the N. Y. Ex change as to the dimensions and other matters and the reasons for them. A Lovely Xovelty. Mrs. S J.
