We rejoice at the indications that the Pres
ident and the Congress are likely tn act to-
gether for the future with more harmony and
good feeling. The President is man of the
people. He has never during his whole
eventful public life, set himself against the
known wishes and will of the people He
is man of strong convictions and iron will,
but he is nevertheless firm believer in pop
ular government, and holds now, as he has
always held, that the representative must
obey his constituents or resign. No one can
doubt what the wish of the people is in this
crisis. That wish has been expressed In the
recent elections; and to none did that ex-
preston give more relief or satisfaction than
to the Unionists of the South. 1t would be
a proud and glorious day for the country to
see the President and the Congress acting
harmoniously together. We could then hope
for speedy and final settlement of all our
troubles on an Enthusiastically loyal basis
The hopes of Unionists everywhere would at
once revive. Our prosperity would be re-
newed. The future, which is now dark,
would at once be full of promise.

THE WooppEcKER's FonEsreuT.-"T The

THE WooDPEcKER's FoREsIeHT.-" The
woodpecker in California is storer OF acorns.
The trees he selects are invariably OF the pine
tribe. He bores several holes, differing
slightly in size, at the fall of the year, and
then flies away, in many instances to long
distance, and returns with an acorn, which
he Immediately sets about adjusting to one
of the holes prepared for its reception, which
will hold it tightly in position. But ne does
not eat the acorn for, as a rule. he is not
vegetarian. His object in storing away the
acorn exhibits acute foresight, and knowl-
edge of results more akin to reason than in
stinct The succeeding winter the acorn re-
main intact, but becoming saturated with
rain is pre-disposed to decay, when it is at
tackled by maggots, who seem to delight in
this special food it is then that the wood
pecker reaps the wisdom he had provided, at
time when, the ground being covered with
snow, he would experience a difficulty, 9th
erwise, in obtaining suitable or palatable
food. 1t is subject of speculation why the
redwood cedar or sugar pine is invariably
selected !: it is not probable that the insect,
the most dainty of the woodpecker's taste.
frequents only the outside of wet trees; but
so it is in Calaveras, Muriporee, and other
districts of California Trees Of this kind may
be frequently seen covered all over their
trunks with acorns when there is not an oak
tree within several miles."-A. B. Barton.

The Forthcoming Message.

NEW YORK, November 19.-The Posts
Washington special says that the facts divul-
ged to-day show but little hope that the
President will recommend impartial suffrage
in his message.
A special to the Commercial says it is
confidently expected that reconstruction will
he amicably settled early in tine approaching
session. Negotiations for that purpose are in
progress between the President and leading
politicians of all parties North and Sonth.-
The basis of settlement will be universal snf-
frage and general amnesty. The President
partially accedes to this proposition, but in
sists on constitutional grounds that the ques-
ton of suffrage properly belongs to the
States and he is, so far, averse to any action
of Congress upon that subject.
The telegram also states if assurances can
be obtained from Southern leaders OF the
speedy adoption of universal suffrage, the
President will waive his objection.

The state Printer.

The Rev. William E. Pell has just been
elected State Printer by the Legislature of
this State. He is the Senior Editor of the
Sentinel, the organ of Gov. Worth. A recent
number of the Sentinel contained commu-
nication from which we make the following
extract:
"THE UNION FOR WHICH OUR
YANKEE FRIENDS FOUGHT is HOPE
JESSI,Y BROKEN. THE GOVERNMENT
rs GONE, FOR WHICH THEY STRUG-
GLED. THE FEDERAL FLAG PRO
CLAIMS A LIE, SO-CALLED. WHY
FLAUNT IN GAPING FACES THOSE
THIRTY-SIX STARS2 WHY SPREAD
THE FALSEHOOD ACROSS TIL E
STREETS 2n
This language was published without a
word of disapproval by the Sentinel.
On the 22d of February last, the Junior
Editor of the Sentinel, Mr.. Gales, one Of the
Clerks of the House of Commons, spoke
contemptuously of the federal flag. and pro-
posed to a friend to go home by a back
street. to avoid walking under it. The Sen
tl7let afterWafus apoioSiLcu ioi WAS
of its Junior as trivial circumstance, and
said the Editors had no particular Objection
to the flag, provided it was displayed at
proper times and in proper places.
1t is a significant fact that the Speakers OF
the two Houses recently elected, though they
spoke of the peril in which the State is now
placed, made NO allusion to the American
Union.
MIR. Hoke member of the House Of
Commons in January, 1861, moved to take
down the flag from the dome of the Capitol.
Just such public men as Mr.. Hoke now have
complete control of this State.
The State Printer is disloyal man. He
hates the government. He hates the Union
He would rejoice to see the national flag ia
ken down, and the flag of g the Confeder-
acy" waving in its place. In his Card to the
merubers, asking them to elect him State
Printer. he based his claims on the fact that
he is true to the cause of the South"

Several of the leading Democratic papers
of the North have taken ground for negro
suffrage. since the recent elections. The
Washington Star, heretofore opposed to the
Howard amendment, now advises the peo-
pie of the South to accept it.
1t is also reported that the President is Sc
riously considering whether he will take
ground in his message for universal or negro
suffrage. 1t is said he has had conferences
with Chief Justice Chase and others on the
subject.
It would be idle, however, in either the
President or Congress to expect the ten re-
Gently insurgent States to accept any propo-
sition while they retain their present disloy-
al organizations.

Goyernor,s Message.

We publish to-day the Message of Gov.
Worth.
We have no room to-day for comment on
this extraordinary document.
1t will be seen that the Governor objects
to the constitutional amendment, on the
ground among Others, that it was not pro-
posed to the States by a constitutional Con-
gress and that he proposes to disperse the
free people of color equally throughout the
Northern States --

outraee on a worthy Citizen.

We learn thst on Monday night last, at late
hour couple of white men called at the
residence of A. F. Page, Esq, some seven
miles west of Raleigh, and asked to be ad-
mitted. Mr. Page, who had retired for the
night, rose and went to the door, when the
men told him one of them was citizen whom
he knew, giving the name, and said they
were tired and desired lodging and some
thing to eat. He turned the bolt of the door
cautiously, but observed through the side
light that one of the men was in the attitude
of rushing on the door He then stepped
back They called to him to open, but he
declined to do 50. He then got his gun, and
awaited their movements, meanwhile calling
his brother, who was upstairs. At that mo-
ment they rushed against the door, broke
half of it open, when he fred upon them
They returned the fire and fled. No one was
hit. The premises were carefully exam
ined, and foot prints were found, showing
that the parties had on good shoes.
1t will be seen, by advertisement in this
paper. that Mr.. Page has offered reward of
$500 for the arrest and conviction of these
robbers. They no doubt belong to an or
ganized band Certain characters are sus-
pected, and the guilty parties will be ere
long ferreted out and brought to justice.
1t would have been salutary thing if MIR.
Pages fire had taken effect.
The robbers no doubt hoped to overpower
or murder Mr.. Page and then plumber his
house of what mouey and valuabies they
could find. SO far as money is concerned,
they would have been disappointed, as Mr.
Page, though be handles money, does not
keep large sums in his house. He has made
preparations, and will be abundantly able to
defend himself hereafter.
We had the pleasure of being one of a par
ty at an entertainment given by Capt. Lee,
on Monday night 10Th, at his Restaurant on
Hillsboro' Street, near the Exchange Hotel.
The dishes were rare for this region, and ex-
cellently served. The wines and liquors
were pure and superb. Capt. Lee Is supe-
rior caterer, and deserves encouragement by
those who appreciate good things in his
line.

What a pleasing picture Of beauty,
checrihlness and domestic bliss Il
brought before the minds eye by the
expression. The home may be a
stately mansion cmbowcrcd In rarest
shrubbery and adorned with all the
splendid appliances Of wealth, or II
may be an humble cottage, whose In
mates daily toll for the bread Of hon
est industry. There Is no depend
ence upon rank or fortune for those
qualities which constitute the true
lady. They exist in the hovel as in
the palace. Jeanic Deans, dusty,
weary and barefoot, earnestly plod-
ding along the highway to save a
sisters lie; Is rs true a type Of the
lady as the no less self-sacrifcing
queen from whom she sought the
precious boon. Becky Sharp, with
all her beauty, wit and eminent tai
ents for intrigue and display, though
welded to a Baronet's son, could
never pass for lady, while the poor,
lackadaisical Amelia was recognized
by every one as such at first sight.
Glossy broad-cloth and pinch-back
jewelry may make fine gentleman,
or at least what will pass for one
but the highest skill Of Parsian mil
liners cannot make lady, nor an
approach to one. Vulgarity will
display itself in spite Of silk and
cashmere. There exists in her who
is a lady by birth, by education and
station, qualities which no art car
counterfeit, no labor can create.
