SNOW Hill, Jan. 2nd, 1860.

SNOW HILL, Jan. 2nQ, IoOU.
Dear Progress Our town looks very much
like it had the right name to-day, snow. Whisky
and darkies very plentiful on our Streets there
being good many of the latter to sell and hire
out for this year. and think some of the gentle
men, who hired some of the darkies, ought to re-
ceive bill of sale at the end of the year when
they pay the money for them, and l shouldn't
wonder if they were to pay dear for the whistle :"
at that.
would like to furnish you with the list of pri-
ces of those that were sold, bat it seems that
cannot get them now, suffice it to say they all
sold remarkably high, and one small boy particu-
larly, learn, weighed as pounds and sold for
$l6 per pound pretty good price for live stock,
wasn't it? (NIy hand is so cold I hardly
write) It looks, Mr.. Editor like everybody in
town, to-day, is smoking cigar, (tleirbref) and
think some of them would catch on fire if torch
were applied to their mouths, rather the whis-
ky would.
But think sir, that Snow Hill will do some
thing great yet. We expect in few weeks to
commence large Male and Female School in this
place, which will be under the charge of Mr.. and
Mrs H. f. McDugald, who I think are well
qualified as instructors. There appears to be
quite an interest in this place to establish perma-
nent schools, and do hope may succeed, as
we have goodly number of boys running about
the streets who ought TO be at school.
There is also Il contract out for building anoth-
church here, (by the Baptists,) and [ under
stand the Methodist Church will undergo a thor
ough repairing during the year, which will add
very much to the place.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
A etesl of lhe Legislature.

Mr.. Editor ri have understood, that desire
has been expressed in high quarters, that there
should be general expression of opinion upon
this important subject My own views are, that
it is the duty of rulers to watch with jealous
ear the interests of the people, and to industrious
ly inform themselves of the state OF affairs, and
if in their opinion call of the Legislature be nee
essary, let them take the responsibility and pub
ish the call These are the times for the exhibit
ton of those tacksonian virtues. energetic action,
and the fearless assumption of responsibility
Our rulers need not hesitate or fear to lead, the
people will follow. believe that public senti-
ment in this section of tine State approves of an
Immediate call of the Legislature. We are an2-
ious to see North Carolina in the present cri-
sis assume with her sister Southern States, at
ttude of calm and dignifed readiness to meet
every threatening danger. North Carolina is a
conservative State, she never acts precipitately
she is cautious and deliberate but firm, and what,
ever she may do, will tell powerfully on the fate
of this Republic
The State should be put in a complete state of
military preparation for any emergency. 1t is
absolutely necessary to remodel our MALTA sys-
tenn and to put into immediate, active operation,
an efficient military organization. The most i'm
proved arms for infantry and artillery should be
placed in the hands of the people, and we do not
think it would be unwise for the State to estab-
lish among the iron mines and coal fields of Deep
River a manufactory of arms.
The Governor has said that he is powerless,
yet feels the necessity of prompt action. Doubt
less he is anxious to see the ''Old North
State range herself up along side of Virginia
and South Carolina, who now stand i'll military
preparation far in advance. If action be neces-
sary and the Legislature only act let the leg
islature be called.

HOW 1T WORKS.

The determination of the Southern people to
withdraw their patronage from the North is be-
ginning to tell in the way best calculated to bring
that section to its senses. The Philadelphia Eve
ming Journal says:
1--WE understand that over one hundred hands
have recently been discharged from one of our
largest manufactures, in consequence of orders
from the South having been countermauded.-
The factory has been in very successful operation
for six eight years past, doing very extensive
business, the major portion Of which is with the
South 1t is also very probable some fifty men
viii have to be discharged shortly, if there is not
an enda to the slavery agitation going on,
both North and South, there not being w1rl1
enough to keep them employed even at reduced
wages. This factory, when in full operation, fur
nishes employment to some four or five hundred
men.
The New York Journal of Commerce closes an
article on the effects of the non-ntercourse move
ments in the South, with the following significant
remarks:
The South has been making gradual progress
in the mechanic arts for many years past and
factories for the coarser cotton and wOolen fabrics
have been put IN operation IN many States; so
that this movement is new thing, but has SIM
ply received an unusual and marked impetus, for
reasons already given. The chief difficulty of
the South, in extending her efforts to successful
practical results, has been her lack of mechanics
and mechanical skill. She has been almost Who'll

THE DEEP RIVER COUNrRY.-We are 1ndebt-

copy of the Report of the Secretary of the Navy,
communicating the Report of the officers appoint
ed by the Secretary to make the examination of
the iron, coal, and timber of the Deep River
Country. in North Carolina Mr.. Toucey. we

very complete condition, for the manufacture and
repair of marine steam engines and their depend

steam navy, In view, therefore, of the present
condition of the Treasury, the provisions already
made at the four navy yards mentioned, and the
facts embodied in the reports of the commission
should not deem it expedient at this time to

ATTEMPT TO ABDUCr NEGR oEs.-In the course
Of Thursday night and yesterday morning, five
men, named Perry. Axiom, Knowles, Picknard
and Holcombe, were arrested by Deputy Marshal
Huckeba and Policemen lewis, Eason, Beck
Slagi and Watson, on suspicion of an attempt to
abduct three negroes, one belong to MIR. Barnard,
one to Mr. Brinsfeld, and another to Gen. Bethune
Snspecting something of the kind. the police were
on the lookout, and came upon them IN their camp
above the Opelika depot, W hen they attempted to
escape, but were taken and brought back. They
had a covered wagon, and were going in the di-
rection of Girard, of with the intertfon of
getting into Alabama One the party, Knowles
turned evidence against the others, which enabled
the police to arrest the whole crowd. Yesterday
evening two of them underwent preliminary
examination before Magistrate, and were held
to bail-Perry in the sum of $25O0, and Pncard
in the sum of $5o0-in default of which they
were committed to Jail. The cases of the others
will be investigated this morning.
Circumstances Justify the belief that if they sue
ceeded in the first attempt it their intention
to return and carry off several other negroes-the
latter we presume, not having quite wound up
their affairs, and time sufficient was given them
for that purpose.-C Columbus Sun, 3Ist.
