cation act in North Carolina. No process has
been ordered or commenced against the property
of any citizen, so far as are informed. It is
greatly to be hoped that our citizens may con-
tinue to be favored and may continue to escape
the agents of contiscation. In Virginia there is
more of dissension and of i'll feeling and every
man seems gratifed to inform against his neigh
Dor and to see him suffer. We hope citizens
will be more prudent, more kind and forgiving.-
Raleigh Standard.
Good advice timely given. We don't see what
the Government gain in the long run by
fiscating the property of the Southern people. It
will put bat little money into the National Trea-
sury while the innumerabe number of petty of
ficeholders will st l their pockets. Conlscation
will engendpr a hate for the Government that
nothing can eradicate. Mean and low life indeed
must be the southern who urges on the
fscation of his neighbor's property We join the
Standard in hoping that the citizens of North Ca
rolina may maintain kind feeling towards each
other and escape confscation agents.

that he has far recovered as to be able to at

! - We publish on our first page some extracts
! from a speech delivered by Gov. Perry of South
! Carolina, at Greenyille, on the Sd of July. The
speech was made by Mr. Perry before he. was ap-
pointed Provisional Governor. The radicals at
the North are quite indignant at the tone of the
speech, and of course, demand Mr. Perrys re-
moval; but it is said that the President and Gov.
Perry had an Interview on the 2lst and every thing
passed off satisfactorily. President Johnson is a
man of first rate common sense, and can distin-
guish between an honest man and sycephant or
hypocrite.

MEXICO.-1t is reported in Northern papers
that intelligence from Mexico indicates that Max
imillian will soon abdicate the throne and return
to Europe. 1t is also stated that President john
son is in favor Of officially notifying the Emperor
of France that Maximillian must be withdrawn
from Mexico, and in case of the refusal Of Napo-
leon to comply, that the L. S. troops be directed
to cross the Rio Grande and advance the Mex
lean Capital. We place no reliance in such re-
ports.
