Negro Hiring.

The hiring of negroes has about clos
ed for the season, and the prices paid for
them have been almost fabulous Field
hands hired for from $3.50 to 1915; facto-
ry hands 5000 to $500; women $50 to
Sl75. Anything that had wool instead of
hair on its head brought at the lowest
$50. One Of the consequences of the
high prices is, that many poor families,
who have heretofore been able to keep
one servant, find it impossible to bear the
increased tax imposed upon them and
will have to do without their accustomed
help the present year. Another conse-
uuence will be that when the hirers come
to wind up at the end Of the year, after
feeding and clothing and paying the
hires of the negroes, they will find them.

Federal Congress.

In the Federal Congress on the 9th,
Mr.. Norton, of Missouri, proposed to dis
band both armies and call for a national
convention to arrange the present troubles
and restore the Union. Mr.. Bingham,
OF Ohio, characterized Mr.. Norton's
speech as lame and impotent apology
for a most wicked and infamous rebellionj
and asked how it was to be done. Mr.
Norton replied, through the State Legis-
latures. Mr.. Bingham denounced the
inconsistency of those who clamor for
the Union as it was, and alluded to the
scheme of Vallandigham to divide the
Union into four parts.
Chandler is reelected Senator from
Michigan. Probably Bayard will be re-
elected from Delaware. w. A. Richard

Tory Outrages in Western North
Carolina,

On Thursday night, Sth inst, band Of
tories ION the mountains of East Tonnes
see and Laurel, n. G., attacked the vii
lage of Marshal, Madison county, n. g.,
taking the citizens prisoners, and robbing
the whole town of whatever valuables
were movable. They entered the dwell
ing of Col. Allen, of the 64th n. c. Regi-
ment, (now in this city, and with axes,
broke open doors, chests, drawers, &c,
and carried off all the money, clothing
and other valuables in the house, destroy
ing all the china and crockery and other
furniture, and threatening the helpless
children with death because their father
was a rebel officer. They robbed several
stores, destroted large amount OF prop
erty, and after committing many other
outrages, they left with the threat that
their next raid would be on the Armory
at Ashville, which they intended to sack
and burn. They vowed that Gen. Polk,
who is now on visit to his family a. Ash
vile, should never return by that route.
Capt. Peek, Of the 64th, who was in
Marshal, barely escaped, with his right
arm shattered by a musket ball.
On their return to the mountains they
ravaged the whole country.
For these facts we are indebted to DR..
Thompson and Lieut-Colonel Keith, of
the G4th, who have just returned to this
city.-hnorvlHe Reqtster.

CoFrEE.-An OHIO editor says in the
good old democratic times" he could buy
eight pounds Of coffee with dollar;
now that amount of money will only buy
two; whereupon he gives Abe fits for the
ruinous manner in which he has run the
machine. Poor fellow! Why we paid
seven and one quarter dollars for two
pounds Rio no longer ago than last Mon
day, and felt moderately thankful we
could obtain 1t at those figures. But worse
than that Bust-head whiskey used to
sell here at thirty cents per gallon, and
now it costs just twenty dollars, with an
upward tendency in price. What do you
think of that, old Corkscrew! Temper
ance is no longer a virtue in Dixie, but a
necessity.
