Another Proclamation.
Reconstruction.

d

another Proclamation, looking. toward the. re-
organization of N, Carolina The rebellion
haying been overcome, he says lit becomes
necessary and proper to carry out and enforce
the obligations Of the United States to the peo-

Restoration


Now that the government has been successful
in spite Of the stereotyped assertion efits enemies
that "sThe South could never be conquered
these men, trnc to their rebellious instincts, are
trying to deceive the people with great parade
of the difficulties attending the restoration OF
government throughout the South and of those
amicable feelings 80 necessary to. peace. The
work is a delicate and AIN important one we adj
nit. Questions will arise that must be met by
the wsest craftsmanship. nBnt If the administra-
ton pnrsuesits present eonciliatory policy tow
ard the people of the South, with due rigor tow
ard those who brought the curse of rebellion upon
them, we see no difficulties that can arise which
may not be readily surmounted. ta,f qa.lfoes
The Southern masses seem to accept the result
of the war with commendable philosophy. The
gueriIlas and partisan rangers from whom we
feared 50 much, have laid down their arms in
common with their comrades in the regular ser
vice, and are'quietly resuming their previous &C.
equations. Everywhere throughout the south
the sword is being turned into the plough-share,
the spear into the pruning hook, and the war;
horse into the beast of burden. Capt. Miller of
the 9th Pa, Cavalry, now stationed about 40
miles from Raleigh. N. c., informed us lately,
that the discharged Rebel soldiers, and those
who fed from their homes before the blast of
war, are returning and resuming their farming
operations in that neighborhood. The govern
ment is giving them all the horses and mules it
can spare, without cost and furnishing some
with corn for seed. 9Sdch generosity cannot fail
Of good effect upon the deldded people of the
South. = 1T will awaken the forgotten memories
of the past; it will stir them with new devotion
to the Old Flag it will convince them of the
miserable pretexts, upon which their leaders
sought to justify the rebellion, and will impress
them with the idea that we must forever be one
people. v.goeb
And why should it not be SO? The heart of
the people everywhere is for Union. There is no
bitterness between the Masses North and South.
The causes Of alienation are imaginary, Fictitious,
transient, while the bonds that unite us together
arereal, inseperable, eternal. 4 "A common origin
common language, common be1i9, common adw
these are the four great bonds that hold the So
cieties Of men together, and these we have. We
have common pride in a glorious ancestry, a

Sail orr Sell Enffii

Business men shond be shrewd enough TO per-
.ceive that now is the time to sell off theirold
stock. Gold has fallen and will continue to
fall, and it is better TO submit to small loss now
than greater one by and by. Get the best
price you can, but get rid of your goods, for the
longer you hold on, the less you. will realize
To accomplish this, ADVERTISE Draw custom to
your store by advertising Literally in the most
widely circulated papers, and you will find it the
highest economy. This is the plain dictate Of
common sense, and those who fail TO heed it may
live to regret it.

CultiVating too Much Land.

The great error with our American agricultur-
lists is a morbid desire to own and occupy more
land than they can cultivate. Farming is a sci
entifc business, and is capable of being reduced
to rules as precise and accurate, and we may add,
as successful as those which regulate the manipu-
latory proeessyefIthe practical chemist. Wash
ington, whose discriminating powers were GER
tainly of the higest order, in one of his valua-
BILE epistes to 4Artheri Young; saysal be9Gron-|
sThe agriculture of thiscountry isindeed low;
and the primary cause Of its being so is that, in
stead of improving a little ground well, we at
tempt too much, and do it i'll. A half a third
or even fourth of what we mangle, well
wrought and properly dressed, would produce
more than the whole underour system of man
agement."7 nj aGiye3 vd .don0dtlf. .5Gdi /
Few apothegms uttered by the sage Of Mount
Vernon are possessed. Of greater force than this,
even to this day 7andIit wouldsbe well for agri-
culturists who are so anxious to exten d the linn
its of their FARMS without manifesting any 9TH
er desire to Augment their aprodnetiveness and
profit, if they would ponder it more carefully,
and act more in accordance with the system
which it Suggests. The most successful farmer
with whom we have ever met, in any country,
was a man whose entire homestead consisted OF
but fourteen acres Like the Roman, GRESHAM,
he managed to admirable advantage everything
within the amplitude of his profession and deri-
we'd, from this limited scene of operation, liv-
ing far Superior in point Of comfort and respec-
liability to that obtained by his more 1aborious
neighbors from farms Of qgadruple the extent., =
We may form something like correct concep-
ton OF the actnal capabilities Of the soil under
proper management by. witnessing the opera
tion of our gardeners. What is done or accom-
plshed on a small scale may certainly, with due
care and effort beaccomplishedb on a large one,
for gardening, which is SO profitable, is nothing
but farming in miniature. ......4..... as |
