"a RESTORATION OF THE UNION FOREVER
IMPOSSIBLE"
Under this caption tbs Fayetteville { n.
c. Observer says:
when the fait!lessness Of the North
was exposed, and it's open attempt made
to subjugate US by the call for seventy
Eve thousand troops, there was an end
Of all hope Of peace without dishonor, or
of the maintainance of any constitutional
right. The only remedy was to resist force
by force. And in the progress of the 81
gantic and sanguinary war which has fol-
lowed, it wss soon manifest that the most
a,rooious aud deviIish maliguity that ever
stirred within the bosoms Of any creature
ont Of the lower regions, controlled every
movement of these late brethren OF ours
towards the Southern people. They
murdered and plundsred and outraged
wherever they went; neither age nor sex
escaped their fury; they coveted our
lands and houses, and openly proposed to
their soldiers. as an incentive to fight, a
division of those lands and houses among
them they have not waited for the ter
mination of the war or any formal act to
appropriate all movable articles OF pri-
vate property; these they have packed
up and shipped to their own homes a,
the North. Silver spoons, gold breast
pins, watches books. pictures, pianos, so
las, beds and bedding--everyihing, 10
short. that could be uansported--has
been sent off to adorn the persons and
parlors, and the chambers of officers,
FROM the commanding General down to
the lowest subaltern who can manage to
steal aud carry them a%ay and what
they could not thus carry of, they have
wantonly destroyed. Should Southern
man ever SO far forgets his salf-respcct as
to enter dwelling at the North. he will
almost surely be confronted and silently
reproached by some of the articles robbed
from his friends and neighbos at home.

Concerning Corporations.

Our attention has been called to some facts
in connection with the publication Of mining
notices, which appear not to be generally un-
derstood hereabout. Officers of Incorporated
mining companies, who doubtless have never
read the law concerning corporations, fire.
quently send assessment notices for publica-
tion to papers published hundreds of miles
from the principal place of business of such
companies, instead of having such notices in
serted in paper published in or near the
companys principal business place. The
law ON this subject is decidedly plain; and
an observance Of it will save Secretaries of
mining companies and others interested con.
siderable trouble. We quote from Woods
Digest, page on hundred and twenty:
ART. 4S9, Sec. 10. The Trustees shall
have power to call in and demand from the
stockholders the sums BY them subscribed,
at such times and in such payments or in.
stallments as thev may deem proper Notice
of each assessment shall be given to the stock
holders personally, or shall be published once
a ceeS for at least 1f1ar treeks an some neurs.
paper published al the place designated as the
principal place Of business 81 The corporation,
ar il none be published flere. in some ne,cs.
paper nearest to such place. If. after such no.
tice has been given, any stakeholder shall
make defnalt in the payment of the assess
ment upon the shares held by him, so many
of such shares may be sold as will be necces.
sary for the payment of the assessment on all
the shares held by him. The sale of said
shares shall be made as prescribed in the by
laws Of the company: prorided, that no sale
shall be made except at public auction to the
highest bidder, after notice of thirty days,
published as above directed in this section !;
and that at spch sale the person who will
agree 10 pay the assessment so due. together
with the expense of advertisement and the
other expenses of sale for the small st num-
Der Of whole shares, shall be deemed the high
est bidder

TAKE NOTICE.


ENROLLING INCIDENT.-Thomas McTurck,
Enrolling Officer of the Third District. visited
the Pinery the other day, on business con-
nected With his Office, and riding up to
Chiv. from South Carolina, asked him to give
his name. age, &C., which the person address
ed considered to be unconstitutional, and in
true copperhead style threw himself on his
dignity, refusing to make proper answer to
the necessary questions. After explaining
the requirements of the law, &C., ard finding
the fellow obstinate, McTurck dismounted
from his horse and stepped up to Mr.. Cbiv.,
telling him that if he did not at once comply
with his request he would demonstrate the
constitutionality of the law by giving him a
thrashing then and there. The fellow seeing
the determination of the officer, and having
no higher court of appeal near at hand, final
ly concluded to comply with the requirements
of the law, under protest. and gave all the
desired information, after which the officer
mounted and rode away, leaving $. c. to
reflect upon the nrbitrary conduct of Abe
Lincoln's minions.

FIRE AT BRANDY CIrY.-A correspondent
of the Marysville Appeal, writing from
Camptonville, November 9th, furnishes the
following account of the destruction of Bran
dy City by FIRE:
On Friday morning, NOV. 9th. the town of
Brandy City. Sierra county,, near Camp
tonville. was nearly all destroyed by fire. 1t
commenced about daylight. in Jones Hotel
and spread so rapidly that the inmates had
barely time to escape. A little child sleep
ing in one of the rooms was rescued by the
heroism of Thomas Jones, who was severely
burned in the act. The main portion of the
town was entirely destroyed. The only
stores saved are those of Cole & Stevens and
VIM. Brumwell. Loss estimated at about
$50 nln

WOUNDED Color BEARER.-A touching in
cident in the great battle of Gettysburg will
show you how this spirit manifests itself The
The color sergeant of the Sixteenth Vermont
fell mortally wounded. At once dozen men
rushed up to seize-the colors and bear them
forward. The poor wounded,sergeaut whose
name have not been able to get) grasped
the staff with both his clenched hands; his
eyes were already dimmed with death; he
could not see who it was that tried to wrest
his charge from him. i Are YOU friends or
enemies !" he cried out. - We are friends"
was the reply, 6 give us the colors." Then
friends, said he, /" | am mortally wounded
let me hold up the flag till | die''-aud SO
saying, he fell back-dead. Surely, no.
bier soldier than that poor fellow never lived.

Why VIcKsBuRe WAS SURRENDERED July
FouRrH.-General Wasel, of Texas, lately
made speech at Richmond, and endravored
amid the disapprobation of bis audience. to
say good word in favor of General Pember-
ton, under whom he had served at Vicksburg.
The following interruption and answer oc-
Cured Another voice" What did you sur,
render on the Fourth of July for?'' He
would tell them Stentorian voice "Why
not on the fifth ?'' We preferred the Fourth
for on that day General Lee fell back from
the heights of Gettysburg, and we never want
to celebrate the same day with the Yankees.
Great Laughter That's why we surren
dered on that day. my friends.'

A COMPLIMENT TO GENERAL THoMAs.-The
Petersburg Express of October 9TH, says
We regret to hear that Major General George

ga, is a native of Southampton county, Vir.

EXCELSIOR COPPER MINE.-This mine is
fast being opened, and exhibits some of the
best ore we have yet seen, notwithstanding
the great number of valuable copper mines

nearly all of the rock taken out is good pay

greater portion of that flourishing town. The
flames originated in the rear of the Bed
Rock Saloon. At half past five O'Clock p
NJ, the whole business portion of the town
was in ashes, including the Court House,
engine houses, and everything but the few
fireproof buildings that withstood the fire.
The loss amounts to about S500.00O.
