Our Exports.

We publish to-day under the proper heading, Ia
BILE of exports for the year ending yesterday
pared with those for the year last preceding.
There is no change in the amount or Spirits worth
naming though during the last quarter of the year just
closed the market for Naval Stores has been depressed
and the amount realized has been far from remunerative
In most classes of articles will be seen that where
there has been falling off in coaswise shipments it has
been more than made up by increase in those made
to foreign ports Owing to the comparative failure of
the wheat crop in several of the centre and Western
Counties of the State there is total absence of this
tem tie truth being that -four has ruled higher in North
Carolina than in New York, and consequently neither
wheat -four would bear shipment. Cotton shows an
increase Of some four thousand bales.
In the present disturbed state of affairs of course no
calculations be made for the ensuing year. We do
not indulge SO many gloomy apprehensions as some,
although we think that take in the crisis in all it's
length and breadth. When things resume their level,
although not perhaps in their former channels it will be
found that neither the producing consuming power
of the country nor Of the world have been seriously
changed That the laws of supply and demand will re-
assert their supremacy. That certain classes of pro-
ducts will be bought and paid for, and that we are
among those who make such products. Wars among
civilized men may rage urousy now, but they never
long. One way the other this impending difficulty
will be settled and for all before another New Year
is ushered in We trust that it may be upon basis
that will leave ground for regret humiliation
Even commercially speaking, mere temporary patching
up will pro We itself to be weak and shallow policy
RIt the rest of the letters that the Raleigh STAN
dard publishes to endorse its and condemn that
of Others be equally reliable with that it says it got
from Columbus, they form precious budget truly
Does the Standard really place airy reliance in stories
so colored and totally variant from the actual facts
We do know this that there now gentlemen in Co.
lumbus and Brunswick who are circulating the STAN
dard broadcast, who when that paper was Democrat
c paper had good word for it or its Editor but
who now, since it has taken to abusing Democratic
and measures swear by it. If either they the Stan
dard imagine that their political ends going to be
promoted by this maneuvre then they will he nightly
mistaken, or we know nothing. We know this much
that any Southern Rights precinct meeting will easily
outnumber the most abored and postponed-adjourned
and drummed-up gatherings of those opposed to ii in
Columbus or Brunswick, or Bladen.
But leave these little things to our correspondents
fer the present, and turn to more pleasant themes
The Standard correspondents may be all right in in
tention They may mean to tell what is SO, but evi
IDENTIFY as in this Columbus case prejudice something
else nterferes with their vision Things will find their
level. Columbus is all right So is Bladen, although
the shlbboleh there is hatred to South Carolina Rand
John W. Ellis. We saw one of their thumb
papers that that they circulate ending South
Carolina and John W. Ellis to the contrary notwith-
standing" If the attempt is made to array the cit
of North Carolina against their sister States of the
South and their chosen States Rights Governor ii
will fail No Democrat will go that stripe, and nc
others either on reflection.
