circle was not affected. This severe test satisfies
tho workmen that the Endor iron is the best ever
made in this State
Messrs. Anderson & Co. have been casting all
sorts of things, but inclined to give most of their
attention to the making of car wheels, for which
there is great demand and for which the Endor iron
is so admirably adapted. We trust, however, that
whilst they make hundreds of car wheels per month
they may be enabled to get hands enough to con.
tlnue their other most useful works.-Fay. Obs

Mr. HOLDEN Some tine in September the Con-
servatiVe party of this county held meeting at
Jacksonville, at which large and respectable Nor.
ton of the people of the county assembled to mar
ticipate in its deliberations. After the Chairman
and Secretary had been elected a committee vroe
appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the OBJ
lect OF the meeting. The committee reported
through their chairman, A. j. Murrill, ESQ.,, such
resolutions as IN their opinion were suitable and
appropriate 20 the occasion. We deem il unnac.s-
sary In communication like this, to give even an
out line OF those resolutions suffice it to say that
they were just such would meet the approval of
large and overwhelming majority of the people of
tne county OF Onsow. But they were not permit
ted to pass IN peace. Tho opposition or Destrnc
tves were on hand to display their gigantic powers
OF eloquence, and to roll back with one blast from
the trumpet tongue every wave of opposition which
they might encounter.
captain Ward was the first to rise in his Mace
and deliver himself of speech not only against the
resolutions, but also against any and ali oncL aa
semolages- Those who had the pleasure of hear
ing the Captain can Judge of the true merits of bs
effort and decide whether it was suitable and an
propriate to the occasion
Next came James H. Foy, Commoner from this
county. II friend Foy satisfied himself we are sure
every one who heard him was equally satisfied. To
sentative was driving at q
=, MI. Foy having concluded John MurrilI, Esq
the Senator from this county, rose and addracSaJ
the meeting in long, but somewhat dull arpnman-
tatiVe speech. He took the ground that the reso-
lutions were unconstitutional and therefore he ,ToS
compelled to oppose them and like his predeceS,
sors he satisfied himself; every one else conid
do as they pleased. Before he concluded he ne
fered as an amendment to the resolutions renortod
by the committee series of resolutions naSSad a.
meeting oftae people of Guilford county, but he
fore any action was taken his motion one Of his
auditors, becoming somewhat dry, began question.
ing Mr.. Murrill about his amendments, which crea-
ted some noise and confusion, and the meeting ad.
journed until the first Monday in October.
At the appointed time, the meeting was called tn
order by the Chairman, when Mr.. Murrill com.
menced speaking-and when he concluded. he
found he had lost or mslad his Guilford resoIn-
tons, which he wished to have passed as a substi-
tute for those reported by the committee. But Mr.
FOy had in the meantime prepared series of reso.
lutens which he wished to offer for the considera-
ton Of the meeting, and they were accepted by Mr.
Murrill
:. Mr.-Foy then spoke some length upon the merits
of his resolutions and gave his reasons why he want
ed them to pass The sum and substance of Mr.
Fey's resolutions were: That the present war was
lust, holy, and righteous-that it was forced upon

WooD HOOP CoTroN TIE-The Selma (Ala) Re
porter has been shown a device invented by cot
ton planter of Mississippi, for which he obtained
patent from the Patent Office IN Richmond in 1861,
for baling cotton in wood hoops. the invention is
simply clasp, which is Of iron, weighing less than
quarter of pound to receive the ends of the hoop,
which is split from tree of oak, hickory or any
other suitable wood found in the Cotton States The
fastening is made by means of wooden wedge
forced in between the ends of the hoop efectually
tieing it without injury, and which it is impossible
to after the bale is pressed without cutting
off the hoop and with tool driving the wedge back.
The agent of the patentee, Mr. Theodore Duval,
lately from New Orleans, is now in Selma for the
purpose of introducing the Wood hoop Cotton Tie
in that section. He assures the editor of the Reor-
ter that cotton received in New Orleans bound in
this way, gave entire satisfaction, bearing COM
pressing to the greatest degree the stronger the
tension on the bale, the stronger the hold. From
Liverpool the report is that such hoops preserve the
baggng heter than ropes. As the cost is much less
than rope, in the best times, there can be obec-
ton to use this tie.

Gov. Morehead's Plan.

-Four hundred million fdolL1rS exempted from tar
alton for thirty gears the interest payable on it
sSmi annually too, at the rate offs per cent
= Why exempt from taxation? What would enti
tie it to that great boon beside the semi annual pay
ment of the interest upon it? Why should the sub
scrbers to such loan be so distinguished and pre-
ferred to persons who may be unable to subscribe,
to those who have not or cannot spare the means of
paying? Is it to prefer the wealthy to the poor
man? Is it to exonerate the rich men from the
payment of taxes and to saddle the whole burthen
Of them upon the poorer classes? We can sec no
other result, whatever may be the motive or object
of the plan.
Sc What an opportunity for speculation If the
did principle Of gain must be su6tituted for patri
Otism," exclaims the Governor. Alas alas has
it come to thisG Has the patriotism of the Confed
portunties for speculation paramount in the minds
of men? Then all is over with u.s. Our indepen-
denee is an ignes Jatuus, and the days of the Con-
federacy are numbered.
But again Is the city of Richmond, or of Co
lumba, or any other city of the Confederacy to be
stimulated its patriotism to be reSuscitated only
by considerations of the character held out to them
BY this plan of Gov. Morehead? Then they do not
merit independence They would be Incapable OF
properly approaching it and of using itrghtly if ac
quired for them.
But once more. Do we wants it desirable to
~ Tue UJE1aI 81 twenty or thirty
millions of dollars so easily and so speedily acquired
too, as Gov. Morehead has suggested? God in mercy
forbid that either of them, shat any city OF the
Coufederacy should ever, by any means or at any
time become possessed Of such an amount! But if
cities like Richmond and Columbia may do It so
readily in the way suggested by Gov Morehead why
may not individuals or companies associations of
men approximatesuch amounts? Would it be we'll for
usthat they should? far, we think, far far from it
The Governor, BY holding out an opportunity for so
cfn loE;o, u. n
gress adopt his plan, have so submerged patriotism
as that its resusctaton need not be looked for The
rage for speculation, already overwhelming and ir-
resistible, will then have become all engrossng, all
absorbing. Why administer then so copiously, so
profusey to what he calls the sordd principle of
gain p Why add fuel to fire, that is already con.
Stunning usP Must that " sordid principle of gain
indeed be substituted for patriotism9 God forbid.
Lead us notthen, Governor, into temptation Sufi-
Gent unto the day Is the evil thereof" A.

Oh, yes! get navy of iron,

But invade not the public ocean
With your navy of iron clads;
And provoke not Britannias power

The Lion will grapple the Eagle -

You Yankees, who broke with our fathers
And rail at their children to-day,
Secession, that founded your Union,
Is wasting that Union away.
Now treason revives in its ashes,
You're served as you served US before,
For now Uncle Sans the old tyrant,
Revolt has come home to your door.
Before you defy all the nations
To contend with your Iron Jacks,
You should sweep from your seas and harbors

Go get you navy of iron,
Whilst you sing your bras to the breeze,
Amusing the despots OF Europe
And drive Capt Semmes from the seas.

And we'll conquer the worlds broad ocean
With our Navy of Iron clads.
Then adieu to Brittsnnia's power, ..
Well crush it whenever we please;
The Lion shall yield to the Eagle,
And Columbia shall rule the seas.
Old England, the foe of our fathers,
The foe of their children to day,
Is goating in hopes that our Union
In darkness is passing away.
But Treason shall die in its ashes,
And stronger than ever before,
Wen turn on the jealous old tyrant,
l. And punish John Bull at his door.
And where in this wide world a nation
That could cope with our Iron Jacks
We would sweep all their seas and harbors
OF their Warriors and Merrimacs.
Then give us Navy of Iron,
And we'll fling our flag to the breeze,
And prove to the despot of Europe
- That freedom must reign on the seas.
