CASTOR COUNTY.

Mr. EDITOR: The proposed public meeting in
CASTOR county, to agitate for a Convention, was g.
dead failure The good people of Castor d" not
want civil war brought to their doors Qy party
agitation. No public notice was ever given for the
meeting, but few 'strikers' had circulated the
report that meeting would be held at Dallas on
Saturday the Both of January. On the appointed
day. crowd gathered at Dallas. moro than two
thirds of which was utterly opposed to holding the
meeting. But few finally met in the Court House
and after hard work succeeded in getting a chair
man. secretary. and committee to draft resolu-
tons. (Some mems names were placed on the com
mittee who not in the Court House at all }
When the committee returned aud reported 1.-THE
report doubt. having been previously fixed up
by some behind the scenes) vote taken
ON the FIRST resouton-a few answered aye and a
great many The chairman said the resolution
was adopted; others said it not adopted.
After some confusion the second resolution Favor
ing Convention) read and put to vote,
and it. too, rejected by a large majority, but
the chairman said it carried. Some six or
eight soldiers present.. who were at homefon fur
lough then interfered and saiG the meeting should
not go on, that while they had to fight the enemy
the battle field no at home should encourage
their enemies by holding meetings and passing agi-
tating resolutions. About this time, some discreet
person in the crowd suggested to the chairman that
he had best adjourn his meeting as there might be
some difficulty. The chairman took the advice and
left the chair and the audience dispersed. SO the
scheme did not succeed this time in CASTOR.
1t is proper to say that it is believed that those
who called the meeting were not present-they kept
off and left their dupes to their fate.
To show the character of of the persons
who favor such meetings am nformedth one of
the advocates of this CASTOR meeting openly pro-
claims that he is Union man..
Castor county has done her share nobly in this
war and her true Citizens have determined that she
shall not be disgraced by few disloyal factous
spirits. If meeting is held it must be in secret
like the one held last year. Let every man who
loves his country and who wants independence and
an honorable ind permanent peace frown upon such
movements Il.

THE INCOME TAX.-lt is estimated that the Con
federatc income tax now being paid, will amount to
three or four hundred millions of dollars in the Con
fedrracy. In this county alone it is thought the
will reach six eight hundred thousand dollars
This will certainly greatly reduce the amount of
notes in circulation.

Is IT RIGHT.-Is it right for those members of
the Confederate Congress whose Districts and
States in possession of the yankees, to be al
lowed to tax and conscrbe the people out
side of their States? We unhesitatingly
pronounce this wrong. No whose district is in
yankee possession ought to be allowed vote in
Congress until he runs the yankees out.-Mlton
Chronicle.
We find the above paragraph republished in some
of our exchanges, and copy it for the purpose
of again calling attention to the fact that several
members of our State Legislature occupy precisely
the same situation that the members of Congress
above alluded to do. Some - or Is of our eastern
counties occupied by the enemy, several of them
completely under the eneny's control. Yet those
counties represented in Legislature, and the
members vote to tax and conscrbe Unto the Home
Guard) the people outside of their counties. Ac
cording to the Chronicles reasoning, we ought not
to admit these members to seats in our Legislature
until they the yankees out of their counties :;
and We believe the same rule would deprive of
most worthy Representatives in Congress, Hoa-
w. n. II. Smith, of his seat. Now, we submit if it
would not be best for Us North Carolnians to clear
our skirts of what is pronounced wrong, before
grumble and find fault with others But we
suppose it is considered right to allow certain mem
bers to hold seats in Legislature because large
number of their constituents are within our lines
and are affected by the laws of the Legislature.
The same argument applies, with equal force, to
tain members of Congress. Ifit is right in one case
it is right in the other, and if wrong in it is
wrong in both. The Constitution of North Caro-
lima allows every county to be represented and so
does the Constitution of the Confederate States al
low each State and District in the Confederacy to
be represented in Congress. We must change
these Constitutions before favor the disfran-

been very irreSoldte, changing its humors with
the facility Of a spoiled beauty. The sun has
shone more rsless nearly every day, but nearly
every morning we find two or three additional
inches added to snow depths. In the Idaho City
Basin the snow is about two feet deep. At the
headof Moore's Greek it is reported at five and
six feet. Notwithstanding the ground has gone
from our sight, the weather has been mild and
pleasantly warm.

The GAMBRINUs MILL AND LEDGE.-A local Ger,
respondent furnishes US with statement of the
work done by the Gambrinus mill, The mill ar
rived on the first of November. On the 9th,
through the able superintendent Of the engineer,
Mr.. Spears, the mill had steam up. Onsthe 10th
it was crushing ore. On the -l4th they m ade the
first clean up, after crushing four days, and run
ming through 81 tons of rock. The result was 221
pounds of amalgam. The next clean up was on
the 23d, after crushing 10 tons, which yielded
$50 pounds of amalgam. The next was the clean
ing up of so tons, which yielded $50 pounds. The
gold when cleaned and retorted looks well, and
assays 636 fine, or about $l4 per ounce. We are
not able to give the net yield, as we could not get
an assay Of all the first turn out, owing to the want
Of proper retorts, and we have had but one return
from the Assay Office, which was on 400 ozs.-net

order, and about four feet thick, and from appear

Gent quartz already out to fill che contract with
