Historical Society Of the University Of
.'Jaox sea- r. e North Carolina

This Society, which has been established for
The purpose ofrescuing from oblivion the materials
for the early history Of this state continues TO push
forward ITS operations with commendable zeal
In lo-day's paper will be found The first Annual
Report OF the Secretary, made to the Society at
its meeting in June last Interesting as is in it.
sell, we trust the subject of which il treats will
commrndit to the attention of all who feel an
interest in the character and standing which North
Carolina is TO occupy among her sister states
Every native son Of hers should lend his hearty
corporation in aid of the efforts of the Society.
For the reasons set forth in the report no time
should be lost in gathering the materials which
are to perpetuate the names and deeds OF the
Revolutionary worthless Of this state. We owe il
to the actors themselves. We owe it to those
who are to come after us. Justice demands it (;
the character oftbe state demands it. And, we
hope there will be found enough Of patriotism and
energy among our citizens, now that the work
has been commenced, to carry it forward to
complete and satisfactory conclusion.
Had justice been done TO the tonored dead
heretofore in this respect, North Carolinians
would not have been subjected to the modification
of having the snecrs Of respectable journalists cast
upon those of her sons who bore 10 their graves
the scars received in many severe struggles for
the liberties of our country. The limited and par
taI views which historians have taken to that con-
test oecasoned in great degree by the want Of
the very materials which il is the purpose Of this
Society to furnish, has given to those who have
no personal acquaintance with our history and
state, pretext for their sneers Those Eacls, the
records ofwhich only exist in the memory of our
oldest citizens and in, dusty papers deposited in
family chests and drawers, should be collected and
placed in such authentic shape that the historian
may take advantage of them in making out his
tory ofthose exciting scenes which preceded and
the Revolution Many of the sons
of North Carolina acted no unimportant part in
the Revolution, and in the struggles which fore
shadowed that important event North Caroli-
mans should cherish their memory nay the Ma
tien should know of them and cherish them too.
These are deeds which should not be forgot,
And names which MUST NOT wnher." j,'zes
The Report recommends the establishment of
Branch Societies throughout the state; and I'VE
hope the plan will be taken up with spirit. Per-
haPs the objects of the Society be more readily
accomplished in this way than in any other.
Let none be backward in this matter There
should not be any waiting one for another to take
The lead. Read the report; gather from it the
plan Of operations and let each commence forth
with to do his part, We address this to all who
feel an interest in the character Of our state i

Snail Notes. We regfst to see the pertinacis
ly with which an our Banks peisizt in forcing
ont small notes lof less Denomination than S51
On the community los ecirenfs.ion The paper,
engraving, numbering, filing up and signing, cost
Just as mpch for a s3 bill as il does for 800
bill. Therefore, to issue any given sum in 80
bills cost 33 l-3 times as much Is TO issue the
same amount in 800 bliss 1s3 as much as
$40 bills, and nearly twice as much as S5 bills;
and no more interest;is Obtainedfop1a loan in %
than for notes of larger denomlnatjon. Then
what great advantage is gained to the Banks, 10
compensate them for the trouble and xpensc they
incur in keeping up a large circulation Of small
notes? None that we can see, but the mean hope
Of making gain by the destruction and loss Of
these small bills in the hands Of The people, for
when they are destroyed or lost the Banks
cannot be called on to redeem them. What would
be said of wealthy individual who bough: bis
neighbors' property and gave his notes for the
purchase money in very small sums, that they
might be lost, md he not be called on to pay
them2 Would he not be scorned. and secuted os
a dishonest man2 Why, then, is suchaa course
persisted in by gentlemen having the control and
direction of our moneyed institutions Iqstead Of
giving US silver and gold for. the smallercircula-
ton, and Bank notes for the larger, why do they
endeavor to make gain in a manner that would
blast the reputation of any man in the community
for integrity and fair dealing9 And if the Banks
will keep up this practice, why do not our people
frown it down. and refuse TO take their small notes
when offered to be paid them tor loans, or for
checks drawn on thcm2 The friends and advo-
Gates of such issues say they are made for the
good of the people. If so, lee ihe profits arising
from their destruction and loss Be paid into the
Public Treasury, and thereby enure to the benefit
Of the community, and not to that Of the corpora
ton We venture to say, if such were the law
that small note issues BY the Banks would soon
become as rare as sdsite blackbirds. We. repeat

The Tnrpsatine Crop. A gentleman, him,
self a Turpentine maker, and well acquainted
with the Turpentine region of North Carolina,
told US on yesterday that the crop of this year
would fall considerably short, as compared with
last years Heaays that he thinks there will be
a falling off Of some 20 to 25 per cent. The same
cause which operates to produce a short corn i1
crop, to wit the extreme dryncss of the summer.
ne alleges is the reason why the amount of
be so much less than that made last wear. He
says that the very same seasons which will pro-
dace an abundant grain crop are necessary to- the
advantageous cultivation of the Pine that the
tree does not Heed near SO freely in extremely dry
hot weather as when there1re what the farmer
calls good seasons; that is sunshine and showers
