TEXAS INDIANs.-The Indians in Texas arc
giving good deal of trouble to travellers in the
vicinity of FL Paso. We learn that party of
four gentlemen, one of them the United States
sutler at Camp Hudson, were attacked by band
of Camanches and one Of them wounded in the
face All their horses were killed The Indians
were sea- ping all the whites they could find. A
council of Camanches. Cheyennes and Apaches
was held lately, and regular system Of hostlties
on the border settlements and trains agreed upon.
The number of United States troops in Texas and
Arizona is represented to be quite Inadequate to
the present emergency.

NORTHERN DEMocRATs.-We notice that onr
friends of the Fayetteville Observer frcouen+lv
quote the Charleston Mercury to prove the un-
soundness OF the northern democracy. We do not
think the Mercury should be considered good
authority upon that point, inasmuch as that paper
is opposed to all organizations which hold ont the
prospect of perpetuating the Union. Such is a
fair Inference from the tone ofits articles athouoh
1t does not openly avow that object We cannot
agree with the Observer that the Mercury has
done and is doing good service for the demo-
cratic party. paper that is continually striving
to show that one portion of party is fhess to the
other' cannot be considered as doing much good
to that party. While we acknowledge that there
are some Northern men protesting to belong to
the democratic party who arc not worthy of being
trusted any further than you can see them-not
that far probably-yet it is certain there are many
who have shown patriotic spirit and taken a de-
cided stand for the rights of the South even sacri
hcing themselves in maintaining correct principles
But such papers as the Charleston Mercury are
not willing to give them even their just mead of
praise. What would have been the condition of
the country to-day if the rights of the South had
not been upheld by the aid of northern democratic
votes in Congress? The Observer knows, and the
Mercury knows too that no measure of State
equality could have been adopted without the as
slstance of the northern wing of the democratic
party Instead, then, Of undertaking those men,
We of the South should strengthen them, and by
cordial cooperation endeavor to override and
break down ignorance and fanatcism in the North.
Mr. Forney, of Pennsylvania, Ga former friend of
Mr. Buchanan is also held up as proof against the
Administration. Forney at time good
northern democrat, but changing his views, he has
deserted the administration because it was in favor
of admitting Kansas with Constitution recogni-
zing slavery and for the further reason $50 rumor
says,) because the President would not make him
Cabinet officer give him a prominent for
egn mission. The desertion of man by his
old friends does not prove that he is corrupt
unworthy of confidence We presume the Obser-
yer will admit that Mr. Buchanan is correct in this
matter, and that so far as he is concerned, the
South has no just cause of complaint

TAxEs-Nany people in North Carolina (says
the Fayetteville Observer complain that the taxes
are high; and SO they are, compared with the al
most nominal taxes that were formerly levied, when
the State was content with merely lethargic con-
dition. But when it was wisely determined that
she should keep pace with her neighbors in the
struggle for prosperity and fame it was also found
that this could only be done by the aid of money,
and money could only be raised by taxation. The
taxes are therefore more than formerly; but that
they are unreasonably high or burdensome, as com
pared with those imposed on the rest of mankind,
we deny Sec the following, which we take from a
Baltimore paper
"Taration IN the Different .States.-According
to an official table, comprising eighteen oft States,
it appears that North Carolina pays less tax, per
capita than either of her sisters, it being only %
cents for each individual annual while the tax
of the State of Maine, the highest in the list,
amounts to SO per head The whole eighteen

THE CHINESE SUGAR CANE is great thing.
We like to talk about it, and hear of friends in
the country making successful experiments. But
we hope people will not be induced to go into the
business too extensively, but just make enough for
sweetening purposes on the plantation and little
to give away to the poor. No person will ever
starve as long they get bread and moasses;
therefore decidedly in favor of the sugar
cane culture.
A country friend remarked to US the other day
that he thought our correspondent last week made
mistake in saying that he made AZ gallons from
the fourth of an acre. On inquiry We learn that
more than ~ gallons is generally made from that
amount of cane. One gentleman made 800 from
an acrc-another calculated on making 400 gallons
from the same amount of land.
Every about here agrees that the cane is
one of the best things for f.ttening stock. After
the juice is pressed out hogs and cattle eat the
stalks readily.

pS% Raleigh correspondent of the Green's
boro Times, under date of the 9th, says:
I" 1t is gratifying to observe how punctually the
Sheriffs settle with the Public Treasurer; some ten
or twelve regularly report themselves every day,
all right; and probably by the 1st Of October, to
which time they are limited not one will be behind
hand. The Credit of the State is we'll sustained by
the ndctatigaole head of the Treasury, who has al
ready large sum in the "Bank of the Republic" N
Y, to meet the October Coupons; the receipts thus
far from the Sheris whohave settled are largely in
excess of any former year and there is every
probability that North Carolina will honestly
continue topay every farthing of her debts. Silent

palsied the arm that would dare write that
danning word on our fair escutcheon. Our Bonds

Bag- The Virginia democrats are getting into a
terrible muss about who shall be the next demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. One portion is for
John Letchcr, and another for somebody else, we
don't know who. A mere preference for one man
above another is allowable, but when they get to
wrangling about such things they are doing them
selves and their cause harm. The Richmond En-
quirer opposes Letcher because it is said he, some
years ago, endorsed an Address delivered by MIR
Ruffner advocating the removal of the negroes
from Western Virginia. 1t is little strange that
the Enquirer should be so squeamish on that point
now when it is taking sides with Douglas and For
ncy against the Administration The aspirations
of this or that man should never be allowed to
divide the democratic party There are plenty OF
good democrats in Virginia who will make good
Governors without any of those who are now con-
tending for it.

Hon. D. S. REID-We take pleasure in
informing our readers that the distinguished
gentleman whose name heads this article, is now,
and has been for several months in the full
enjoyment of good health, and that his severe
illness at Richmond last winter, seems to have left
his constitution unimpared and vigorous.
Whatever concerns Gov. Reid is a matter of
interest to the people of the entire State. His
name and services arc held dear by the Democratic
party. \ fearless champion of The people, he is
familiar with their feelings, their interests and
their wants, and is ever ready to serve them with
untiring fidelity. AS Senator, a consistent hard
working Democrat, and an urbane and kindly
disposed gentleman, lie we'll merits the position he
now occupies. May he long continue to its
honors, for North Carolina can confde in his
judgement, his patriotism. his faithfulness and his
integrity, in the performance of the responsible
duties of that high position Winston Sentinel.

RESTORATION OF BISHOP ONDERDONK.-As
the time approaches for the meeting of the

are received that the high church party contemplate
an initatory movement looking to the restoration

exercise of his episcopal functions. What the
plan of proceeding is, the uninitiated not yet
given to know. Any demonstration of this kind,
it is said, will be resolutely opposed by the low

At thoughts for your reflection.

You'll find it there, whate'er you want,
1t makes no kind of matter.
They have fine things of every kind,
Erm sure don't speak rash)
So when you wish to buy, you'll find
Them selling "cheap for cash.
But come to at. H. Brem Co.'S;
And where shall begin
To tell you of their splendid cloths,
And silks, and hoops, and erin.
They have fine wells and comet shawls,
And flowers without end;
Twill do you good to make call,
They'll treat you like friend
And now to Burroughs, "-(you know
Where Williams used to stay, y
lie has what's called the " cable stripes"
And very cheap they say.
To Burroughs you might trust your purse,
And on his taste deDend:

"Lewis Williams still holds his own,
His Stocks by NJ means lastly
For where's the with better taste

There's Henderson & Ahrens" too,
Well take them in route; j.
