Encourage Home Industrv.


We call the attention of the friends of home in
dustry to the Card of Messrs Miller & Foster, in
our paper to-day.
Messrs. Miller Foster occupying a new
building in Townsville three stories high and forty
by forty; and they are turning out seventy-five to
one hundred pairs of shoes daily They employ
Southern workmen almost exclusively, and they are
giving to boys between ten and fifteen years of age
employment at better wages than they formerly re-
ceved in this State. They have the best machinery
of all kinds for their business and the best mate
rials are selected for their brogans. Though they
are both North Carolinians by birth and interest,
yet they do not claim patronage that account,
but asking fair trial at the hands of their fellow
citizens, they rely exclusively the merits of their
work to secure trade. Their main idea is to cor
duct their business as to make of every customer a
permanent patron.
There are five wholesale shoe establishments in
Townsville, to wit a mandatory of ladies' fine
shoes-one of gentlemen's fine boots and shoes
one of boys and women's shoes-and two of negro
brogan shoes.
Thomasvile is one of the handsomest and most
enterprising towns in the State.
We have specimens in our Office of Mesrs Miller
& Fosters brogans, which those who may want
such an article are invited to examine.

SPEECH OF ANDREW JoHNsoN-In the next issue
of the Gazette purpose giving entire the able and
triumphant reply Of Gov. johnson to the attack of
10. Lane in the Senate.
Gov. Johnson's course as United States Senator
meets the unqualified appreciation of the people of
Tennessee, we are convinced He has acted nobly,
and the people will sustain him.
AS the next Legislature will elect his successor,
we here declare that in our judgment Gov johnson
should receive the hearty support of every Union
member; but to make the case sure we advise the
people to interrogate the candidates as to who they
will support for Senator, if elected: Andrew John
son has been true to the people, and the people will
be true to HIM. He is the leader of the Union party
in the State. All the denuncations of the enemy
are hurled at his head. He must be sustained. We
vote for no men for the Legislature who will vote
against Andrew johnson. If this declaration ofends
old party hacks, we can not help it We appeal to
the people Chattanooga Gazettee.

DOES THE INAUGURAL MEAN WAR?-The Hon.
T. A. R. Nelson, member of Congress from Ten
nessee in letter dated March Is, 1861, published
in the Knoxville Wing, say:
whatever construction the Secessonists may
place upon Mr.. Lincoln's inaugural address, Mr.
Maynard and myself had it from his own lips, on
last Thursday night that he was for peace, and
would use every exertion in his power to maintain
it that he was then inclined to the opinion that it
would be better to forego the collection of tn.
nue. for season, so as to allow the people of the
seeding States time for reflection, and that regard
ing them children of common family, he was
not disposed to take away their bread by withhold
ing even their mail facilities. He expressed a
strong hope that after little time is allowed for
reflection they will recede from the position they
have taken.
We had two interviews with the President. The
first was sought by Wednesday the second
was at bis own desire, and was private, but told
him that, with his permission, would tell my con-
stituents when / got home, what he said and he
replied that we were at liberty to repeat it to whom
we pleased Although strongly opposed to the &C
ton of the seeding States, the object of Mr. May
nard and myself so far as our voluntary counsels
would 90, was to prevent civil war and were
both as we'll pleased with the Presidents frankness
as he expressed himself to be with our visit"

~ It is by no means probable that any thing
like serious war will take place so long as the
States remain they are. There may be skIrmishes
here and there but the border States, standing be-
tween the two sections, will be able to command the
peace, and there will be no fighting an extensive
scale But if from whatever cause, the fifteen slave
and nineteen non-slavehodng States shall separate,
they will become deadly enemies, and general war
will be inevitable. Canada will be brought down
Ito the Virginia line on the north; and twenty mil
lions of people in the free States, released from all
Constitutional obligations and all opposed to slave
ry will war upon US in every conceivable way
Great Britain and France will establish protectorates
in Mexico and South America, and at last interfere
in our quarrels taking sides first with this Confed
eracy and then that until at length, reduced and
humbled by our own intestine strifes shall seek
repose under despotic forms. Let us remain united
as long as we honorablY can. Disunion should not
be thought of as a mere matter Of speculation or
temporary advantage, but only as a last resort to
protect our vital interests and our honor. Let US
Watch and Wait.

81 Extreme views in both sections have been
mainly instrumental in producing the present con-
diton of things in this country. Congress and the
Legislatures ofneary all the States north and SOUTH
are in the hands of extreme men. If the country
would Only remain quiet until the people in both
sections could again be heard at the ballotbox there
would be no difficulty in adjusting our national
troubles. This is truth which should be kept
steadily in view by all conservative men. The ex-
tremSts know it to be an important and salutary
truth, and hence they resist it, Witness their late
meeting at Goldsborough, and their efforts of all
kinds to keep the public mind excited. They know
that good order, repose quiet will result in their
political destruction. They fear the "sober second
thought" Their existence depends on agitation.

Hon. EDMUND RUFFIN-We learn through the
Alexandra (Va) Sentinel of Saturday evening last,
that the Hon. Edmund RufRn, Of Virginia, would,
on the Monday morning following leave Virginia,
his place of nativity, for South-Carolina to avoid
being under Lincoln's regime. Many more of f.

if the State submits to the ADMINISTRATION of the black
Republicans. h.. &c.. ..- .-.r..-

tlon.-Chdrlotte Bulletin, March 9th. ae - ..H
Mr.. Rufin left at the time mentioned, yet he kind
ly consented to return for day or two, and lice
under Lincoln at Goldsborough, where he instruct
ed some of our people in the arts of secession and
civil war.
What calamity if would be if the F. F. VS.
should leave Virginia. The first families of Vir-
ginia going to leave because Virginia submits to the
Constitution and the laws And North Carolina is
threatened in the same way. According to the
Bulletin she disgraced herself on the 28th of Feb
ruary. " In consequence Of her prostitution" says
the Bulletin, many other "most wealthy sons Mill
disoDn her," Very well, let them do it. They made
their wealth here, out of the SOIL and many of them
out of the poor and if they ashamed of the State
hind them as they are themselves, and the State
will not feel the loss of their wealth. We could
name three gentlemen who are Union men, and
who own not less than 1000 slaves. They expect
to stay. And the great body of the people will
stay-the "bone and sinew"-the laborers, who
are as good as the wealthy" and who do not think
the State has disgraced herself 1t is not property,
but men that CONSTITUTE State" Thousands of
worthy laboring men might go, and the Bulletin
would not miss them; but only let few of the
"most wealthy" talk about disowning the State,
and the Bulletin, which speaks for the oligarchs, is
at once distressed and alarmed. The F. F. VS. will
neither add to their "wealth" by going nor show
their courage. They will desert the border States
their native land-leaving their brethren and kin
dred as barriers between them and the aggressions
Of the abotionsts. 1t will make no difference who
suffers so they safe. Is that specimen of dis
union courage an6 patriotism?
