An extraordinary scene.

The people of Danville and Boyle coun.
ty, on last Monday Witnessed a scene that
was new to them and disastrous to the
interests of all classes
By authority, a recruiting Office for the
enlistment of negroes, either aoith or Nth
out the consent Of their oioaers, was OPEN
ed. AT a very early hour our streets
were thronged with negroes of all ages,
and a perfect rush was made upon the
recruiting Office Of the recruiting officer
for the enrolment of their names. There
was no distinction made between loyal
and disloyal owners-the property of all
were received alike. The larger portion
CT them thus enrolled were formed in line
IN the street and marched off for the pur-
pose of reporting at some point of rem
devious. The lat squad that left-some
twenty five or thirty in number-were
mobbed by a number of young men and
boys; and one or two OF them pretty Sc
vereIe injured. The negroes, however,
took to their heels. and doHbtlees we
were saved from a very serious and deplo-
rable disturbance.
This matter caused great excitement
and indignation among our citizens.
Their property was taken from them at a
time when they could not easily spare
them
Large crops have been planted by our
farmers generally, and harvest is rapidly
approaching, and they and themselves,
without any previous notification what
deprived of the labor they depend
ed upon to tend their ripening grain.
This blow, which strikes more Immediate
ly the agricultural interests of the coun-
try, will, of course, have its influence
upon all other interests. All classes will
suffer alike. 1t will be a matter of i'm
possibility to procure an adequate force
to meet the emergency brought upon us
by this sudden overthrow of our system
OF labor We are apprehensive of the
most disastrous results, yet we are not
confidence that the ingenuity and
perseverance of our people, will provide
some scheme to enable them to overcome
the difficulties of the hour.-DanutXe,

FHE PR1cE OF PR1NrINa PApEn.

The PRICE OF PRINTING PAPER.-
The exorbitant price of printing paper is
become a serious matter to newspaper
publishers throughout the country. The
New York Express says:
The enormous price of paper was be-
fore the Associated Press of the country
at the netting in his city on Wednesday.
Some of the members of the Association
have resolved to enter again uprn the
importation of .paper, as what is sold here
for I73 and IL cents per pound can be
bought abroad at " cents This would
make the importation profitable to the
importer. Paper which command
ed 8 and 9 cents a pound in 1861, is now
sold, and of a poor quality, at IL cents.
1t is known also that one party in this
city have a paper stock of 500 900,
waiting a rise in the market, and others
more or less.
