From tho Richmond Examiner.

lmputations against the fidelity OF North
Carolina are simply incredible. Apostacy
TO the Confederate cause on the part af
that State, is both morally and physically
impossible. Her population are intelligent.
Her schools equal TO any on this continent
in number and erudition. The people are
more generally. educated than any IN the
south. Except in few districts they are
largely slayehoding; and the industry OF
the State is highly remunerative. The
peaple are shrewd, practical, frugal and
industrious. They thoroughly understand
their material interests, aud their State
pride is proyerb. She went out OF the
Union With unanimity exceeded by no
other State. She has contributed to the
var with proiusioa excelled by none.
Her regiments are numerically more re-
plete than any in the army she won the
first battle of the war, at Bethel aud her
troops vie with the rest IN the re.enllst-
nents now going on. Her western noun
tains were laicly filled with ,leserters from
all the States; now, BY the energy OF her
Government and the corporations OF her
people, the mountains are cleared oi those
/ degraded wretches.

where North Carolina has shown herself

ular feeling in North Carolina, which has
given these agitators encouragement thus
TO tamper with treason. The feeling there
is no doubt the same as prevails through
cut the Conlederacy. 1t is mingled
feeling of disappointment, discomfort and
alarm. in regard to the NAL administration
of public affairs The people feel embar-
rassed between two conflicting duties; the
duty of stern and energetic remonstrance
as the only means Of checking the career
Of NAL administration which is hurrying
the cause 10 perdition; and the duty Of
avoiding any action which may itself i'm
peril the cause. In Virginia the popular
Judgment is in favor of silent tolerance of
abuse /; in North Carolina it seems inclined
to the alternative of remonstrance. II it
were our prerogative to advise the good
people oil that State, we would warn them
against the agitators to whom they have
given, probably, too much ear, as well as
against any action which could, in the least
degree, tend to alarm our own people, or
to encourage the public enemy. Remon-
STRANGE is duty, but agitation to the
point Of disturbing the public mind and
embarrassing the public action, becomes
crime.
La Virginia we have been very patient
under abuses, and allowed nothing to shake
our fidelity. When charged with degen-
eracy, imbecility, and impotence for bat
tie, Virsinia's silent answer was to send
jackson, Johnston, Lee and hundred and
twenty thousand troops to the Confederate
armies. The fairest portions of our terri
tory have been desolated, ten thousands Of
our homesteads lie in ashes, and hundreds
of thousands OF our families are homeless
refugees. Much of this ruin is the direct
result Of mal-administration. Still the
most loyal of our population is that Of
the country TINS oyerrun and destroyed.
Wholesale and wide spread pecuniary ruin
has not bent the spirit Of Cur people. They
|. are as resolute and hopeful now as in the
bright spring of 1861. Whilst suffering
the heayiesl calamities and last trrrors Of
war, we have endured much more from our
own Government than North Carolina. We
have been Submissive to a foreign yoke of
The most CALLING character. In Richmond
and the East, the domestic provost admins
| istration has been exclusively under the
control Of Marylanders; in the West our
people have been turned over to the domi-
! nation Of Kentuekians. The conduct of
. the police Of strangers has not been exem-
plary; and just complaints against them
can get no hearing. Not long ego North
! Carolina took fire because the appointment
OF single tax-gatherer was given to the
: native Of another State. Virginia has sub
mitted to systematic injury Of this sort.
: But we cannot dwell upon this humiliation !;
! we will not enlarge on the particulars Of
: this very sore subject. Let North Caroli-

The CiHciHnati CS%%gs,EciaI S2g.,Ccia Hnd General
The Commercial is pleased to show its
great devotion to the constitution by con-
demniAg the doctrine that the safety Of
the Republic is the highest law Of the land.
From time immemorial this has been an
accepted principle among the wisest States
men and philosophers. A nation is greater
than the work Of its own hands. The
preservation Of its life is the supreme duty
Of the citizen. COpperhesds would en-
bsrrass the government in every possible
way, by whining about the unoonstitu-
tionslity Of the measures adopted in order
to save the nation. We believe Thomas
Jefferson is right and the Cincinnati Com
msrcisl wrong. The following in letter
to J. B. COlvin, Sept. 10th, 1910, by Thomas
Jefferson, embOdies the idea of General
Garfield exactly:
"The question you propose, whether cir
oUmstsnces do not occur which make it q
duty in officers Of high trust to assume
authorities beyond the law, is easy Of So
luton in principle, but sometimes embar-
RAISING in practice. A strict Observance
Of the written Law is doubtless one Of the
high duties Of q good citizen, but it is not
the highest. The laws Of necessity, Of self
preservation, Of saving our country when
in danger, are of higher obligation. To
lcse our country by scrupulous adher-
ence to written law would be to lose the
Law itself, with life, liberty, property, and
all those who are enjoying them with US
thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the
means."-J.fersOn's Works, vol. 5, p. 542

The following is an opinion Of Rich.
mOnd paper:
"Thus the cOlOred troops are, beyond q
doubt, an element of weakness in the
Northern army, and we may be well con-
tent to hear of their increasing numbers"
A Chicago paper, published in the inter
ests Of JEFF. Davis, has the following
similar view;
"No one who has watched the negro
troops thus far can do otherwise than give
q full assent to the above assertion. In
every battle, without one single exception,
the negro soldiers have either inglorious-
ly run away, or else, like frightened sheep,
have been INCREASINGLY slaughtered"
Rebels snd copperhesds are the only
class Of persons who habituslly dispsrsge
negro soldiers. But we venture the as
sertion that in fair open fight both cop
psrbeads and rebels could be put te fight
by these same negroes. 1t is the immense
power which 100000 armed blsckmen add
to the army that makes both classes speak
Of the colOred troops.

No greater danger has impendsd over
the nation than the crazy extravaganza
for dress, which has recently done SO much
to send eur gold abroad. The good women
have been undermining the stability Of the
nation. We notice, therefore, with grsti-
hostion, the formation Of Wonsn's League
in BOsten, pledged to q decent economy in
dress 50 long as the war lasts. 1t would
certainly be q triumph for American
women If they would sbjure costly foreign
fabrics and manUfsctures. Il would be Q
noble sacrifice to exchange silks and satins
for caliooes and delaines; to let French
fashions, with al the unmentionsbIe and
unintslligible jsrgOn Of tsehnicslitiss,
which fashiSa inEents, go to the dogs. Now
when the national finances are orszed with
the extravsgance Of our people, when
seven millions Of gold in one week are
sent abroad to buy geWsgsws, gimcrseks,
and all the foldsrol Of fashion, will be q
grand chance for the lsdies to be pstriotic,
and to emsncipate themselves from the
oEusl domination Of the Empress Euesnis.

An eccentric man, Norman Chsfee,
died last week in South WiIbrshsm, Mass.
Twelve years ago he began to prepare for
death by making his own coffin, which he
always afterward kept in his house. he
made it himself, saving the boards in his
own sswmill. he also dug his own grave
tive years ago, walled and cemehted it,
prepared large stone to cover it, and
erected - monument suitably inscribed,
