STAY LAw.-The Stay Law passed at the extra
session of the Legislature is very unpopular.
There are several petitions in circulation here,
praying its repeal, or modification not to i'm
pair the rights and interests of creditors. We
perceive that the State Convention is about to
take some action on the subject. There is large
number of the ablest lawyers in the State in
Convention, and We feel confident they can devise
law nearly perfect any tribunal in the
country. 1t is hoped they will do so.-,SaitSGn'y

A VALUABLE HINT Official communications
should be addressed to the ocer, not to the person
holding the office. Thus letters should be adj
dressed "Adjutant General of North Carolina"
"Adjutant General Of State troops" Quarter
master General" "CommiSsary General of Sub
sstence,' "Chef of Ordnance and Engineers" &c.
The reason for thus addressing communications is,
that the persons holding these Offices may be re-
moved by death otherwise, or be absent, and
hence if addressed in their proper names, the
communications may not be delivered or opened.
If the cDicer be addressed attention is sure to be
paid to every communication. Journal.
YADKIN COUNTY, n. c., May 25.
To the Editor Of the Salisbury Hotchman: I
notice in the last issue of the Waterman an ed-
torial referring to Adj. Gen Hokes order striking
from the rolls the of Col Caleb Bohanan
AS regards opportunity being given to Bohanan
to vindicate his course, | would suppose he could
have had examination at any time as the
charges made against him were not made by one
person alone, but by numerous gentlemen in our
county, who stand ready to make good the
charges whenever called on. The reasonable
language used after the proclamation of Abe
Lincoln.
CHEEsE.-We beg leave to call the attention of
the farmers of Orange, Alanance, Gulford, Ran
doph, Chatham, Forsyth, Stokes and the middle
and western counties of North Carolina generally
to the field of profit and usefulness opened to
them by the prospective exclusion of Northern
cheese from the South. 1t has become great
article of consumption, almost necessity, and the
North has enjoyed monopoly of the Southern
market. Among the other things Of which we
must Of necessity become independent, let the
housewives of North Carolina take care of this
Let them inform themselves of the most approved
modes Of making cheese-not the hard white
hickory cheese, so called, which we have some
times seen, but such rich and nutritious article
as their fine cattle and rich meadows put it in
their power to make. 1t is not in our power to
furnish them with the naodus operonai, but if not
already known by the ladies, whom we call, it
can probably be obtained from an Encyclopedia, or
Patent Office Report-FGy. Observer.
