ANOTHER .UNoLE TONES CABIN

ANOTHER VUNCLE IOMS OAblN,
We see it announced thet Harriet Beecher Stowe
has written another abolition Novel, entitled "Dred:
A Tale Of the Great Dismal Swamp. w 9 have not
seen copy of the work, but it is pronounced BY
those who have read it. abolition calumnators, OF
course) superior to Uncle Tom in breadth of concep.
tion in development of character and principles and
in the overwhelming power and interest in the STORY
All of which means, we suppose, that the lying
Authoress has drawn more extensively than in the
former instance upon her corrupt and slanderous
fancy, and dealt less in truth and reahty-that she
vilified and grossly misrepresented those whom she
processes to deneateand that she has added anoth-
er stain of prostitution to her Infamous character
sinking her beneath the contempt of the vile herd
of stolen runaways from the South, whom she is so
fond of taking to her foul embrace
That precious Abolition sheet, the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post" which is patronized so
extensivey in the South Ito their shame be it spo-
ken) contains chapter from this Forthcoming he-
ing Novel, as specimen of its power and excellence.
from which We make an extract. The chapter
seems to be cooquy between regular fire-eating,
Sharpe rife aboltionist called Clayton, and cow
ardy lickspittle of yankee, y'clept Frank Russell
who agrees with his companion in sentiments OF
hatred to the South and her institutions yet for the
sake of promotion and money he deems it wisest to
keep it to himself and make show of willingness
to do justice to our rights We introduce this ex-
tract because it relates to own State, to some ex
tent specimen of the truthfulness of the work:
"Now, said Clayton, if for nothing else, if we
had no feeling Of humanity for the slave, we must
do something for the sake of the whites, for this is
carrying US back into barbarism, fast as we can
CO. Virginia has been ruined by it-run all down.
North Carolina believe, has the enviabe notorie-
ty of being the most ignorant and poorest state in
the Union. I don't believe there's any country in
DID, despotic Europe where the poor are more mis-
cradle, vicious, and degraded, than they are in our
slave States-And it's depopulatng US; our men
of ability, in the lower classes who want to be
respectable, won't stand it. They will go off to some
State where things move on Hundreds and hum
dreds move out of North Carolina, every year, to the
Western S+ates.-And it's all this unnatural Or
ganizaton of Society that does it. We have got to
contemplate some mode of abolshing this evil. We
have got to take the first step towards progress, some
time, or we ourselves are al! rndone."
Passing by as unworthy of notice the libellous al
legations made against North Carolina it is amusing
to see how very benevolent have our defamers be.

whites of the South from rushing back into "bar-

LEGATIONS. To this extent she succeeded in her first
effort and will doubt do the same with the pre-
sent Novel, We have no objection to her swindling
her northern allies, but we hope if this work is in
troduced into the South, that it may lie unread up

our midst meets with the unqualified condemnation
of the people of the South. Spirit Of the Age.
HURRAH FOR THE "TuRPENr1NE' STATE This
term, by way of derision, has been applied to this
good old State of ours, by those who, if not her
enemies are, at least, ignorant of her agricultural
and mineral wealth. Now, we would have these
"sappy heads" to know, that "Turpentine'' is far
from being the only staple commodity that she pro-
duces in abundance. OF Wheat and Corn she raises
a large surplus over her domestic wants, which is
shipped to Northern cities in large quantities at re.
munerating prices
For the last week or two, vessels have cleared
from our port for New York with large cargoes of
Wheat; and last Saturday one left our port with
10000 bushels on board.
This Wheat is brought to Wilmington by railroad
from the interior Of the State and has been coming
here in immense quantities for a week or two back
is pronounced as good as that raised in other
States, and commands fair prices at the North.
North Carolina also raises large crop OF Cotton,
of which she exports considerable surplus over
her own consumption. She has almost inexhausti-
bic coal fields, which need only tine facilities of rail-
roads to bring the fines: Coal to market; and for
Gold mines, she is not surpassed by any other State
except California.
But, for raising fine Tobacco, she is some" and
hard to beat as the follow ing paragraph from the
Lynchburg Virginan will abundantly prove:
Two HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS A
HUNDRED FOR TOBACCO We are not mad, startled
reader but speak the words of truth and soberness
As miraculous as the statement may seem, a lot of
tobacco actually sold in this market, yesterday, at
the unprecedented price Of $255 per hundred. The
world never heard or dreamed of such sale this
before. We thought the climax had been reached
the maximum found-when $751; was obtained a
short time since but those figures completely
Observation-Disclosures doubled by the sale of yesterday.
It was sold at Martins warehouse, by j. Fl & S.
Tyree, and purchased by Messrs. Booker & Halsy
1t was raised by Mr.. Charles Hendrick, of North
Carolina and is the finest specimen of the article
ever seen in this or any other market The color
is bright golden hue and the texture almost as
fine silk. As with most precious things, the
quantity was small-there being only between one
and two hundred pounds. The necessity no longer
exists for us to puff the Lynchburg tobacco market.
Facts and figures are better than "puffs" Honor
to the Old North State and to Lynchburg."
