Encourage Home Industry.


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 are occupying a new
building in Townsville, three stories high and forty
by forty; and they are turning out seventy-ave 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-
ceived in this State. They have the best machinery
of all kinds for their business, and the best mate
rails are selected for their brogans. Though they
are both North. Carolinians by birth and interest,
yet they do not claim patronage on 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 SO to cor
duct their business as to make of every customer
permanent patron.
There are five wholesale shoe establishments in
Townsville to wit, q 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.
Townsville 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 ~ - -

. DOES THE INAUGURAL MEAN WAR?-The Hon.
7. A. R. Nelson, member Of Congress from Ten
nessee, in letter dated March 10, 1861, published
in the Knoxville Wing, say:
"Whatever construction the Secessionists 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 orego the collection Of thu reve
nue. for season, so as to allow the people of the
seeding States time for reflection, and that regard
ing them as children of common family, he was
not disposed to take away their bread by withhold
ing even their mail facilities. He expressed .
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 us on Wednesday; the second
was at his 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 ac-
ton of the seeding States the object Of Mr.. May
nard and myself SO far as our voluntary counsels
would 60 was TO- prevent civil war; and were
both as well pleased with the Presidents frankness
Is be expressed himself to be With our visit" ~

Gov. Johpson's course as United States Senator
meets the unqualified appreciation Of the people of

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 denunciations 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
