been believed by few of the uninformed, while
others might have given him credit for sincerity, at
least in fbbing; but the above statement is alike
untrue and ridiculous. We undertake to say that
COL Russ is much better qualified to perform the
duties OF the office than the present incumbent was,
when he entered the Office as an assistant, in 1889;
and we go further and say that as soon as he gets
1.-The hang of the school-house," he will make as
good an officer as Mr. Page is now-and that is say
ing great deal. Col. Russ is highly intelligent
apt and quick in business-industrous-
ed to labor, and possessed of good judgment. We
feel sure that he viii not only make popular, but
faithful and able Secretary
So far as Mr. Worth, who is named for Treasurer is
concerned, We can say with truth that those who
know him best regard him as eminently qualified
for the place. Mr. Courts is not the only man in
North Carolina whe is fit to be Treasurer. There
are hundreds of others as we'll qualified, and some
OF them better qualified for the place than he is
We have no fears that our finances will be bun
gled" or mismanaged by Mr.. Worth. On the con-
trary, we believe that he will infuse new life and
energy into the Office, and that he will conduct it
in all respects in such way as to promote the
public interests. The alluson by the Register to
the "dsafection" in Randolph County, which Mr..
Worth in part represents in the Commons, is hard
ly worthy Of notice. Jonathan v orth and the
great mass of the people of that County, true
to the State and true to the South as the Regis-
ter is Hundreds Of the citizens of that County
are now in arms in Virginia, and many of them
have sealed their devotion to the South with their
lives. But this is one of the Counties, and these
are the people whom the Register wished to punish
with test oatbs and gag laws.
Mr.. Courts and Mr.. Page are both identified with
the Destructive party, and they have either actively
or passively cooperated with those in the Capitol
who have so ruthlessly and unustly prescribed the
Conservatives or old Union men. They have no
right to complain, now that the chalice is held to
their own lips. Those who will take their places
are attached and devoted friends of Gov. Vance,
and they will do all they to sustain his admin
istration.

Death Of Hugh Jones CASTOR.

We record with much regret the death of Hugh
Jones CASTOR, Adjutant of the 4sth regiment N. c.
Troops. He was wounded in the battle of Sharps-
burg, in his shoulder ano face, and died at farm
house near that place about the second week in Oc
tober last.
Adjutant Castor was the youngest son of Alex
ander CASTOR, Esq, who was the only son of the
Hon. William CASTOR. His only brother, William
CASTOR, was killed by the Indians, near Fort Walla
Walla some four or five years since, in his first en-
gagement; and Hugh received his death wound in
his first engagement at Sharpsburg. Hugh Jones
CASTOR was the last male of the name. His great
grandfather, the father of the Hon. William CASTOR,
fell in the revolutionary war, having been "inhu-
manly murdered by the Tories," in the words of
Mr. Macon, and "baptzing, as it were his son in
his blood" as he fell.
Adjutant Castor was physically exempt from
military duty but at the beginning of hostiites he
volunteered as private in an artillery company at
Memphis, and remained there until his native State
was threatened when he returned and offered his
services to her. He was a young gentleman of fine
education, modest, intelligent, and brave; His
death adds another to the long catalogue of our
bravest and best young men, who have been cut of
by this war.

asked, who was to write the books and if written,
who would assume the cost of publishing, when a
speedy close of the war might open the country to
an inundation Of cheaper and better printed works
10 which it was replied, that types could be found
sufficient for our purposes-that if we did not man.
ufacture paper and pasteboard sufficient for our
wants, we ought at once to beg in the enterprize;
that We could write our own school books and that
II we ever expected to become independent in fact
as well as theory there no better tinle to begin
the work. But it was argued, the schools may
STOP and there might be no sale for books; to
which it was replied that the friends of independ-
ence, trusting in God and laboring in their proper
places, mus: never contemplate contingencies equiv
alent to our destruction people,
The latter views prevailed; the books, of supe-
rlor order, are written and in the of pubica
tlol: the paper and pasteboard are made at home,
and the very difficulties once in our way have only
dfr an out our energies, and as it at first
tented, thereby added to means Of selfdefence
ard d1fsz,opE,ent, and increased our confidence in
ourselves and in our resources
Permit me to add single reflection 1t is good
for us, at such crisis to have to engage in moral
and industrial enterprises; for, without recurring
to the obvious and unanswerabe arguments in favor
Of their Importance now, as we'll as in the future,
the efforts which we put forth in this direction
of infinite service in keeping up mental energies.
The continued and absorbing contemplation of
long war; tends to depress the mind of the country,
while the occasional diversion of attention to the
progress of society, and to the growth of vari
Gus industrial and moral interests, expands our
views, gives new spring and elasticity to our
thoughts, enables us the better to understand the
vast interests at stake and thereby to struggle with
the more untiaggIng vigor, while are encouraged
and animated with view of the immense and varied
forces which are silently but powerfully aiding in
the cause of independence
For instance, let any one wearied with watching
the changing fortunes of arms, and in looking for
foreign aid look to the springs of life at home and
behold two thousand loyal teachers, giving instruc-
ton to hundred thousand children, all using books
made at home, and breathing spirit of ardent at
tachment to the Confederate cause and he will and
must feel that even in single State the great
cause has allies as powerful as army with BAN
ners, and Is laying its foundations so broad and
deep that the mere shock Of arms can never destroy
or move it.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

We yield large portion OF our limited space to
the excellent Message of Gov. Vance, and invite TO
it the attention of our readers 1t is couprehen-
sve review Of the affairs of the State and of the
part North Carolina must bear in the present strug
gle for independence. Governor Vance has done
himself credit in this message, and shows deep
and prasewor:hy concern for the welfare Of tho
State.-Salisbary Watchman.
TIRE GovERNoR's MEssAGE-We printed this i'm
portant document hastily in our Thursdays ISSUE
and it appears of course in the Weekly OJserrer
to-day. 1t has been or will be read, doubtless by
almost every citizen of the State and its views and
recommendations, 80 far as we know, have met with
the favor of all, with solitary exception to tho
policy of which we have heard doubt expressed.
We allude to the propriety of laying an embargo
upon the productions and manufactures of tho State
so often done by the late State administration and
now recommended by the Governor If the only
effect of thir would be to obstruct speculation in
those articles which is evidently Gov. Vancc's in
tention, there would be no doubt of the advantage
of resorting to such measure. But can an embargo
be laid which will only affect speculators? *
1t may be, however, that this recommendation of
Gov Vance is made because other States have al
ready adopted the embargo system. If so. it may
be necessary measure of protection, however inju
rious in some respects But We hope better things.
-FdyetteviUe Observer.
We publish today Gov. Vanct's Message to the
Legislature of this State With one or two excep.
tions We are highly pleased with it. Il 1t will
be seen that the Governor makes some important
recommendations. That portion of the Message in
regard to the impropriety of the Act of the Legs-
lature known as the "Stsy Law" expresses our
sentiments preGsely-sentiments which We have
time and again expressed in these columns, but not
with as much force and cearness. We are also
pleased with the Governors remarks about having
North Caronians to command North Carolina Bri-
gades and with the recommendation to continue the
prohibition on the distillation Of grain-Charlo!ts
