find, from the tables, that the total white
population was / ,063, 49l, an average Of
enc slave to nine white persons; quite
contrast to South Carolina, where the
slaves largely outnumber the whites. Al
lowing FIVE persons to a family--a sufi-
GENTLY large ratio-and there is scarcely
one slave to two families. on the average,
throughout the State In one county
Douglas-there are no slaves. There are
tWenty-four counties, in which the num-
Der Of slaves is less than one hundred
each, the average being about fcrty-six. =
Lafayette county has about one-eighteenth
of the whole number of slaves, and TWEEN

cent. The total assessed value of real es-
tate is 1858, 450. SIT; of personal prop

I@ Our Navy for the last few months
has accomplished good deal to redeem
itself from the charge of inefieiency that
was so justly made few months since
Within the last two months many valua-
bic prizes have been taken, and the Gov
ernment and the officers and men Of the
Navy will reap rich return in prize mon
ey. A few days since the English iron
steamers Circassian and Bermuda were
seized in attempting to run the blockade
on the Southern coast. The former yes
sci and cargo are estimated to be worth
million of dollars They were both
heavily freighted with pistols, cutlasses,
ritea cannon, clothing, blankets, powder,
and other articles the rebels stand partic-
ularly in need Of After a few more such
seizures the English will doubtless begin
to think our blockade is not wholly inef
fcient.

The CAUSE.-THE present crisis presents
some peculiarities, the like Of which the
world has never before witnessed. With
10 means provided for the payment of
treasury notes, or even tie interest grow
ing due on them from the day of their
issue, gold is readily and willingly ex
changed for them, and they are at pre-
MUM of from 2 to 4 per cent United
States six per cent. stocks, running twenty
years, are also at premium. These facts
show the confidence Of the people in our
government and its ability to crush out
rebellion and pay every cent it contracts
for. Those who thought that the govern
ment was going to be crippled for means to
carry on the war, have been, and will con-
tinue to be, most sadly disappointed. We
have an administration in whom the people
place entire confidence, and the loyal will
not let it lack for the necessary funds
wherewith to prosecute this war; SO wick
cdly and maliciously commenced, to the
bloody end. While the government pur-
sues straightforward course, as it has
thus far since the war begun, there will be
40 lack of funds at its disposal.

The CONSUMPTION.

1t will be seen by Maj Mallett's advertisement
that the enrolment under the CONSUMPTION act is
about to commence in this State, and that the ncces
sary officers will soon be at work in every County.
We believe that persons who liable to conscrip-
ton are still at liberty to join companies of Partisan
Rangers now forming, and we call special attention
to the companies Of Lieut. Col. Guy and Capt j. j.
Evans, recently started. Lieut. Col Guy may be
found here, believe, and Capt Evans at Graham.
Persons may also still enlist recruits for special
companies, under properly appointed recruiting Of
fcers.
Much confusion still exists in regard to substi-
tutes &c As we understand it, soldier cannot
furnish substitute except to join the company
which he wishes to leave In other words, "sub
stitute" must take the place Of the man furnishing
the substitute conscript presents his substitute
to the Commander of the Camp of Instruction or to
a regular enrolling officer, who accepts his subst-
tute. Major Mallett would probably do good
service, to explain this whole matter through the
papers.

North.Carolina Bonds.

Our opinion having been asked in regard to the
value of the several issues of N c. State bonds and
the of the difference in the market value, we
give readers the benefit of our information on
the subject
Old 6 per cent State bonds, it is known, CON-
mand higher price, in Richmond and elsewhere,
than the issues of certificates of or per cent
stocks, for several reasons. First the demand has
been very great for them about Richmond, for the
purpose of remitting by underground Railroad to
the North, of which it is said the Jew and the Gen.
tile spectators have monopoly, because they
stand higher in the New York market than any
other Southern stocks. Why they stand higher
there, the reader must be left to conjecture. Sec
ondly, as they have coupons attached the interest
is collected without trouble or expense.
The new and per cent State stocks are issued
in certificates, ami not in bonds with coupons at
tached, for the reason, We presume, that the
Treasurer has not been able to procure the requi-
site plates. Consequently, as there are no coupons
attached, holders must come to Raleigh to obtain
their interest.
Some persons prefer the new to the per cent
Stocks for the reason that the 6 per cent. stocks
are convertible into cash or treasury notes when
ever the holder desires it.
An eminently successful battle at Richmond on
our side, would have happy effect on Confederate
bonds and bring them fully into competition with
State stocks. result most devoutly and anxiously
desired by every true friend of the cause
