requested not to recommend any man as
a magistrate for the County of Stokes, un-
less he is known to them to be loyal man
and against the payment of what is known
as the County sear ae5t.
3. That it is nIT most ardent desire to SEE

cable period consistent with the peace and
security of the citizens thereof, and of perma-
ncnt allegiance to the United States.
4. That we dcplere the breach which exists
between the Executive and Congress in re-
gard to the plan of restoring the Southern
States to their fermer position in the federal

ganizing the government by loyal men, and
placing the control of the States in their
hands, which plan is in accordance with the

rrn,on Meeting in Davidson County.
Ato meeting held in Davidson County, at
Union School Hcuse, on Saturday, Novem-
her 25th, 1866, on motion, ID. Il Lomax was
called to the chair
maintaining and preserving the organization
off the Union. to the end that the State gov
eminent of North Carolina may be so adj
,,inistered as to secure the restoration and
nerpetuation of the rights, privileges and
!mmuuities of the people thereof, and their
form of government with the National gov
.rnment Grateful for the preservation of
thai sentiment of nationality which is the
shield of the Constitution and sure guarantee
of a republican form of government, we sin
cerely desire reconciliation, forgiveness and
charity among all classes of American peo-
ple, who were either engaged or involved
in the late civil war.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolosd, 1st, That only those men, with
out regard to their antecedents, who are I'M
mistakably loyal to the government of the
United States, should be appointed or elected
by the people Of North Carolina to any Of
flee of trust or profit.
Resolced, I'd, That in order to: secure the
re-establisbnent of the State in the Federal
Union, the speedy restoration of all rights
privileges and immunities of her loyal citi-
zens, and the final adjustment Of the govern
mental relations of her whole people in har-
mony with the National government, to
these ends the amendment proposed by Con
gress should be accepted and ratified by the
General Assembly of North Carolina.
ResOloed, 3d., Taking into consideration
what the men loyal to the United States
government have suffered during the past
rebellion from the enemies thereof, and as
they are yet likely to suffer from the same
men, who pretend to be Unionists, thus at
tempting to push true Unionists from their
honorable position and place them beneath
even the free negro, therefore we, the loyal
men of tie County of Davidson, are deter
mined to hold our own at all hazards as in
dependent freemen, and work out our own
salvation.
Reealned, 4th, That we uphold the Constr
tuition, and never did give voluntary aid to
the rebellion. Neither will we aid it at pres
ent, being we'll aware that our enemies are
striving to perform at the ballot box that
which they failed in doing with the bayonet.
Resolred, 9TH, That we rate the rights and
liberties which our torefathers fought tor
and won, an inestimabie blessing, which we
are determined to defend at all hazards.
On melton, George Riley, Esq, of Lexing-
ton, was called upon to occupy the floor,

expeditionary forces, no subject for serious diff
ferences between France and the United States
would remain. The expressions of the Emperor
and people of France warrant hope that the
tradftionary friendship between the two countries
might in that case be renewed and permanently
restored.
A claim of citizen of the United States for
indemnity for spOliatiOns committed on the high
seas by the French authorities IN the exercise OF
q belligerent power against Mexico, has been met
by the Government of France with proposition
to defer settlement until mutual convention for
the adjustment of all claims of citizens and sub.
jects Of both countries arising out of the recent
wars on this continent shall be agreed upon by
the two countries. The suggestion is not deemed
unreasonable, but it belongs to Congress to direct
the manner in which claims indemnity by foreign
ers, as well as by citizens of the United States,
arising out of the late civil war, shall be adjudi-
Gated and determined. have no doubt that the
subject of all such claims Will engage your atten-
ton at q convenient and proper time.
1t is a matter of regret that no considerable ad-
vance has been made tow ,rds an adjustment OF
the differences between the United States and
Great Britain, arising out of the depredatons up
committed during our civil war by British sub
jects in violation international law and treaty
| obligations. The delay, however, may be be-
| lieved to have resulted in no small degree from
the domestic situation of Great Britain. An entire
change of ministry occurred in that country du
ring the last session of Parliament. The atten
ton OF the new ministry was called to the subjec
| at an early day, and there Is some reason to ex
| pect that It will now be considered in becoming
and friendly spirit. The Importance of an earl.
disposition of the question cannot be exaggcr'
ted. Whatever might be the wishes OF the tw'
Governments, it is manifest that goodwill an,
friendship between the two countries cannot b
established until reciprocity, in the practice Q
good-faith and neutrality, shall be restored be
tween the respective nations.
On the 9th of June last, in violation OF on
neutrality laws, military expedition and entel

FORTUNES OF AN INVENTOR Jas
Gale the inventor of the method for max
ing gunpowder non-explosive, was borr
at Tavistock, in the west of England
lie is the son of poor parents, and re
ceived but little education at the school
OF that town During his school-days
he earned his livelihood by selling cakes
OF blacking on Saturdays, going from
house to house. A sad calamity befell
him while thus engaged. He became per-
itectly blind, after every effort to restore
his sight without success He then re-
sumed his former pursuit, walking his
rounds alone. Having an ear for music,
he soon became an accomplished PLAYER
on the concertina; which, with his black
ing business, furnished himslucrative en-
ployment. Having made little money,
he married the schoolmistress of the Ia
vistock workhouse. Her friends blamed
her much, but their advice was of no
avail. They were married and removed
to Plymouth, where they opened a bread
store. The wife managed the shop, and
the husband devoted his attention to gal
vanism and electricity; and on learning
of the explosion of the powder-train at
Balaklava, he conceived the idea of the
possibility of making gunpowder non
explosive without decorating its power,
so that by mechanical change it was re-
stored to its original strength. This he
succeeded in doing, and is now raised from
comparative poverty to wealth. He has
already received $l5o,oOO for his inven-
ton, with an interest in the company
which has undertaken to manufacture the
article and carry on the business of car
riers of the combustible article at non
explosive rates, saving the merchant 95
per ton for transportation.
