Lace Cotton Seed. Be Der BusheI.

Lace Cotton Seed, So per BusheI.
ETHE planting community, desiring an EXTRA
| COTTON, of fine quality, can find the Seed
at Messrs. Harrison & Hyatt, Yazoo City, with
samples of the lint. This has been classed with
the LONG staples by the factors of New Orleans
is soft, fine, silky, and at least one half inch
longer in staple than the common is in color, a
rich golden. Its yield is equal, if not superior,
to the ordinary Mexican cotton, picks easy, but
from the extreme sickness Of its fibre, attaches
to the rough edges of the hull, resisting most
admirably the fall and winter weather. This Cot
ton has been cultivated four years, and, although,
native of more Southern soil, is new acclima
ted. Has been sold in small lots, consequently
it has never established its real value. It sells
readily for from three to four cents more per
pound than the ordinary Cotton. Letters from
New Orleans Cotton Factors, who have examined
and sold the staple, can be seen at Mcssrs. Barks
dale & McFarland's where there will be in store
a quantity of the seed. The lint sent with each
lot of Seed will satisfy all competent judges that
the LACE COTTON is far the most vauble now
grown in this State.

AD VALOREM TAXATION.
\ NATIVE.
Raleigh, Jan. 26, 1860.

Ms. HOLDEN: AS the columns of the Standard
have been opened to the discussion of at ralorem
taxation, without any comments from you for or
against and the resolutions and address of the
Wake County Workingmen's AssQciaion have been
followed up by articles over the signature of A
Native in favor of the system, it is but Just to the
people of the State that others who differ in opinion
may be heard, or who as you no doubt do think
with me that this is not appropriate time for the
discussion OF local questions when the public mind
Is so absorbed with national questions. When the
Union is in danger, and its friends are engaged in
devising means for its preservaton,-when even the
address referred to is perverted and commented on
to prove that the "irrepressiGe conflict" is com
mencing with US, which we all know to be untrue
respects its authors,-I say at such time We
had as well pause
The truth is the people Of North Carolina have
probably never been much unitcdaS at present since
the adoption of the federal Constitution. The old
strife between the East and West was happily ad-
justed in 1885. By the compromise as then adopt
ed in the Constitution, the extension of great
trail ra oad through the State was looked to as the
means of equalizng taxation and representation in
the Senate and in that respect may DC said to form
part of the compromise. 1t has already extended
from the ocean to within sight of the Blue Ridge
mountains and the work may be said to be in progress
to their lofty summit. In few years the sound of
the whistle and the neigh of the iron horse will be
echoed through the valley of the French Broad and
when that Road is completed, and our people are
brought together to spend their summers in the cool
breezes OF the mountains, you will then hear no
East and no West, but all for the good old North
State in whose defence all will be ready to "pledgc
their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor
