The Spirit of Lawlessness.

Some of our Eastern exchanges are COM
planning of the spirit of lawlessness in their
midst. 1t seems there are organized bands
of robbers in the Eastern part of this State
white men-who sometimes disguise them
selves and prey especially on Union men
and negroes. Farms are plundered, houses
are robB9d, horses and mules are stolen and
carried do, and in some instances violence is
committed on white persons and negroes -
We learn that in some localities the colored
people are afraid to own horses or cattle, or
even the corn and bacon which they have
produced. Farms occupied by Northern men
have been plundered, and those who have
rented the farms to them are threatened with
punishment.
Our County Courts are held for one week
every three months, and our Superior Courts
for one week every six months. The Courts
for the most part, we have NO doubt perform
their whole duty but it is apparent that the
civil authority is not tsdtequste to the protec-
ton of life and Property in the localities re-
feITe2 70. The reconstructed State govern
ment of North Carolina is a failure in this
ness will continue, unless something shall be
done to punish law-breakers of all grades III
the most summary and exemplary manner
The people of this State, of all classes and
colors, have right to expect the fullest and
most thorough protection to their persons and
property. We are told that we have peace,
and that laa0 prevails. But this is not so.-
White Unionists and negroes are not protec-
ted as they should be, and there is no ground
for hoping they will be, as long as the pres
ent order of things shall exist.
Much of this lawlessness Is the result of
that immunity from punishment enjoyed by
those " conscious traitors" who involved our
people in war, and who now stubbornly re-
fuse to submit to the national authority
Bad men of low degree see that the big men
have escaped punishment for their crimes,
and they very naturally conclude that they
can also run a career of CRIME, and at last
evade justice. Many of these leading men,
and the newspapers they control, also add to
this spirit of lawlessness by sneering at
Union men, by ignoring the civil rights of
the colored people, and by exciting mean,
malicious, and unmanly prejudice against
the Northern people. Where the spirit of law
lessness is so general, neither the regular army
nor the Freedmen's Bureau can afford ade-
quate protection. The remedy must go
deeper than any temporary interposition or
by the military. The cancer of
treason must be pulled out by the roots. The
law must be executed against big criminals
as well as little ones, or the former must at
least be placed I'M condition where they will
be powerless. Congress will meet in Decem-
Der. 1t will then be for that body to decide
whether it will establish permanent order
and security in the Southern States, by put
ting them on a strictly loyal basis, or, neg
Letting or postponing to do so, let them drift |
still further and still deeper into the breakers
of anarchy and lawlessness

1t is BETTER when in strait, to take what
you can get than to wait and take the worst.
This maxim applies just now with much
force to the Southern States. Many of our
people subscribe to this maxim, and major
ity would, but for the hope that they will get
fthey demand. The next Congress will
dissipate this hope. But it is impossible
to convince the majority of this fact
"Ephraim is joined to his idols; let him
alone"
eye aOoasld be dupes and madmen, and ye are.''
When the worst comes, as it certainly will,
remember our warning. Do not hold us re-
sponsible for what is in reserve for YOU We
tried in vain to save you from the wrath to
come, but you aoouzd have your own way
We have warned you faithfully, and you
have reviled us for it. We shall not laugh
at your calamity, nor mock when your fear
cometh," but it soiU come, if you reject the
Howard amendment, as certainly as that the
sun will rise tomorrow. Remember!

On DIT.-That negro regiment is to be
brought to this City, in the course of few
days, for the purpose of being mustered out.
We sincerely hope that the rumor is without
foundation.-Sentinel
If negro regiment should be mustered
out here, it is fair to presume that the Gen
eral in command will see to it that they con-
duct themselves properly, should they show
disposition not to do so. Wherefore this
attempt to excite prejudice against colored
mena These colored troops, if mustered out
here, will probably trade in our stores and
shops, and leave considerable amount of
greenbacks among us.
If MIR. Davis and Gen. Lee had succeeded
in their efforts to enlist negro troops under
the Confederate banner, and if the Confed-
crate cause had prevailed, we should have
heard nothing against, but much in favor of
colored troops. The colored Confederate
veterans would have been set free, bounties
would have been given them, and they would
have been much more respected in the South
than the white Unionists, if indeed the latter
had been allowed to live These secession
leaders, who are engaged in exciting an un-
worthy prejudice against colored men and
thus keeping up state of war between
the North and South, were very willing,
towards the close of the rebellion, to
owe what they would have called their
liberties to the valor of the colored man
Mr.. Davis recommended negro troops, and
the proposition was discussed by the So
called Congress in secret session. The pro-
position was to conscribe the able-bodied
blacks, as they had the whites, and but for
the fact that it was perceived to be too late
to effect anything by it, it would have been
done.

THE VINTAGE OF 1866-According to
the Journal dAgricuJtuae Protique. a good
authority, the vintage of the present year
will probably be about 45, 900, 900 hectolitres,
(the hectolitre is rather more than % gal
lons,) third less than that of last year, and
the quality will be inferior to that of 1868,
which was not very good year." The re-
ports, however, from the Medoc districts,
state that few days fine weather have
greatly improved the vineyards, and that the
expectation now is that the quantity will
be larger than at one time had been thought
possible, and the quality "fair and marketa-
ble:" As to the stock of wines that will re-
main in hand for next year, it is estimated
by authorities in these matters at $4,000, 900
hectolitres. -

MR. BEEcHER ON "THE PRosPEcT"IThe
conclusion of Mr.. Beechers recent speech in
Brooklyn shows how completely he has re-
turned into full communion with the domi-
nant party. 1t is as follows:
THE PROSPECT
And now, fellow-citizens, not to draw upon
your patience unduly, let me say that it seems
to me that we are drawing very near to the
consummation toward which we have been
steering. The night, think, is far spent,
and the day is at hand. By tokens sure as
thunder in the skies we know what the yer-
dict of the people is to be. We know who
are to hold power for the next two years.
Cheers We know and rejoice in it, and
we could have never doubted-not, however,
in the Democratic sense. [Langhter,l
deem it important at this time that the tes-
timony of the North should be given with a
volume, vastness and decisiveness that
shall admit of no misunderstanding, and
that when they who represent the peo-
pie again take their places it shall be with
all the North behind them and endorsing
them. 1t is good lesson for the South. It
is a good lesson for those among them that
might be mischiefmakers. 1t will do no
harm to them who are not mischief makers
When once our power is gone We can then
have our own atnelSmS among ourselves
There is right to diversity of opinion in the
Republican party. We have right to dis
cusss the expediency of measures But
whenever they have been settled and deter
mined upon, then it is our duty to stand
hand in hand, and shoulder to shoulder, and
with locked step and unbroken ranks to go
forward, and to maintain the government of
the country.
