North Carolina Radicalism.

The Newbern Times of the 9th, reprodu-
ces an article of ours, in which we undertook
to answer the charges of the Radical press
that the rejection of the new Constitution
[then obviously about 10 occnr] was to be
attributed to reasons of domestic nature,
and not as charged to bitter animesity
against Mr. JOHNSON.
The paper in question, true to the interests
and teachings of the party with which it af-
filiates, undertakes to put a construction
upon our opinions which they do not warrant,
aud absurdly attributes designs which were
never entertained by the Day Book. Our
pr.Fnse was to vindicate ihe gallant State,
WI B rs Times should he proud to repre-
sent.
In its commentaries ON the Day Book S
opinion, that the rejection Of the Consttu-
ton, then impending, gave no just ground to
the Radicals for their camor, it held the fol-
lowing characteristic language:
There ia now, no doubt, bur that the new
Constitution has been rejected, and that fact
we consider bad enough without misrepre-
senting the cause or its defeat We have here
tofore based its rejection upon the ground of
opp osition to President Juhnsons theory Of
reconstruction, and We now repeat that it is
the true cause. In every county, so far as
our knowledge extends, where the leading
men Of influence are truly and honestly sup
porters of Mr.. Johnson's policy, ratification
was carried by handsome majorities; while in
those counties where this class of our fellow
citizens, hold the Ruffin doctrine, that Mr.
John son is a usurper and cannot call Con-
ventions, &C., to remodel and resusctate
State governments, rati6cati IN was lost by
large najorities "Let the truth be told,
though the heavens fall"
We leave our friends i'll North Carolina to
decide which OF the two journals best repre-
sents their interests and feelings

Yet by the census of 1850, Lynchburg, for
the number Of its inhabitants, was the richest
city in the Union, New Bedford, Massachu-
sets, coming next. So wealthy did this in
land town become, that though its population
never reached one third Of that of Richmond,
its available capital was seven times as great.
If we were to select from untoward posi-
tions on James River or any where else, a To-
cation where we should not build town,
Lynchburg would bear off the palm; for of
all absurd situations it is the most preposter-
Gus. 1t is not point to which trade should
naturally converge, aud it has no facilities for
manufacturing beyond one little creek which
gives no more water power than hundreds of
rivulets in that region.
The reason of Lynchburg's having become
a city of rich merchants and manufacturers,
is due to two uses,-the courageous energy
of its inhabitants, and their readiness to help
each other.
An acquaintance of ours, a shrewd, hard
working. hard headed man, once said to us,
Il have carried on business in Vermont,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio;
have lived in many communities famed tor
their energy; but have never yet seen men
who worked SO hard or SO inteligently as
the people of Lynchburg." e
The second cause of the great prosperity of
the city is, that commercial men help each
other. If young man has business capacity
he need not have capital; he will always have
friends to help him along. If a crash comes
in financial affairs, the people bolster up each
other, knowing that 50 much depends upon
the credit Of their merchants
The men of wealth are always ready to in
vest their surplus means ia any improve
ment that will benefit Lynchburg; they do
not lock up their money, but use it freely in
opening new avenues of trade, or in helping
on their friends. Such is the put lie spirit Of
this city, that 1t is the greatest ambition OF
its citizens to make the Lynchburg tobacco
market the first in the country, and in spite
If all Disadvantages they have done it,
Lynchburg is model that Norfolk should
copy in her energy and public spirit If we
shall pursue her course, what will not Nor
folk become, with the unequaled advantages
which nature has lavished upon her, and Of
which Lynchburg possesses not one?
Let us study the business history of this
town. Let us no longer remain commercial
''lotus eaters" dreaming over the deserted
waters Of our harbor, but be up and doing
like the Lynchburgers. who defy natural dis
advantages, and compel success.

There is world Of suggestive force in this
brief note. 1t admonishes us all Of a sacred
duty. Wehsve with pious unanimity united
in rescuing the graves of our dead heroes from
the invading mullen stalks; and the senti-
ment of Old Mortality, ennobled by the fer
vor of wJmans devotien has infused itself into
entire communities. 1t Was due the dead
1t were dis!ionor t., ourselves not to do honor
to them.
But, do we not owe great debt, debt
past all computation to the living members of
the families VI those dead men, who are in
want? If those departed heroes now voicsless
in the vast military grave yards Of the South,
could speak, what prayer, think you, they
would make? Would it not be for their
children ? We are admonished OF our duty
with peculiar force just now by the fact that
tue orphans Of the Union Armies have been
formally adopted by the country. This is
our orphans depend upon our sense of duty
and our spontaneous love- Unhappily, as a
rule. these are but frail dependencies but we
trust it is reserved for the people of the South,
to show that they are capable of discharging
this sacred debt. more especially as it could
| be so easily evaded
| We have no words in which to thank the
noble women of Baltimore for reminding our
people Of this duty, and our gratitude for
their munifcent charity in offering to build
the Asylum, of which they speak to us,
through their representatives, is absolutely
without voice. Our best eloqusnce in praise
Of them is silence; our best applause fer the
canonized dead active cooperation in the sa-
cred work these tender angels and ministers
Of grace have set on foot
But, in thus concentrating the noble
charity of the women of Baltimore, we must
not forget those Of our own old town, whose
generous sympathies are all enlisted in the
same cause. Mrs. BAaNALL, Treasurer, and
Mrs FARRoR, Secretary, of the Washington
Lee Association, will with the ladies of the
town, assisted by the Rev. Clergy, begin in
October an active and well organized move
ment in this direction. H. 5sr.+5-s
Let us remember that he who giveth to
the poor lendeth to the LORD, and we trust
that in the coming winter, every Legislature
of every Southern State, will take steps to
follow the example thus set them.

"Let him Roar Again"

HORACE has been dancing about h tely like
martyr-hes fond Of that character -stumb-
ling over red-hot plough shares. His wrath
and terror are wonderful to behold. In his
extremity of fear he surpasses himself, and
Sir JOHN MANDEvILLE, and MUNoHAUsEN,
aud FALsTAFF. the three biggest liars whose
names We can remember, were mere bunglers
at their trade, in comparison to the philoso-
pher. The Gather Of Lies" himself might
look over the columns Of the Tribune. and
rise from its perusal instructed in his own
peculiar art. He and his subordinates invent
murders. school and church, burning, frauds
and robberies, with UNCLE TONS as the vic
TINS. They fabricate opinions for United
States officers, as in the case of General PAL
MER, and shrink from the presence of truth
as their master does from holy water.
We confess that we like to see HORACE in q
passion. When he calls T. w. hard names
and handles polite epithsts with RAYMOND,
we feel satisfied that something good is afoot,
and rejoice accordingly. just now we can
understand his agonies and enjoy them accer,
dinghy. He sees 'mene" written on the wall
He beholds the trip-hammer uplifted which
is to smash Radical desh-pots, He knows
the fishes will go into other frying pans
and the loavss into other bread baskets. He
went to see the Philadelphia Elephant, and
the ponderous animal trod upon his, foot
Hence he roars. Let him roar again. We
confess we like the music.

NOteS from the Log Oh an EQttOf-NO o. /.
At the invitation of MARSHALL PARKS,
Esq, the President of the Albemarle and
Chesapeake Canal Company, we joined an
agreeable party Of friends on trip through
the Canal AS far as Roanoke Island and Mays
Head. We left Norfolk on the steamer Gin
ton, on Saturday afternoon last, and in short
time reached the lock- We passed the steam
ers Bette and Chowan, and several small
schooners, laden with slaves. shingles, and
naval stores, bound to Norfolk, where they
were consigned, and were glad to observe
these evidences of revving trade. The south
ern branch of the Elizabeth 10 winding, and
the land ON each side is characteristic of the
region through which we passed, low, fiat,
and marshy, in some of the portions immedi-
ately on the margin of the water The banks
Of the canal are covered, for considerable
range, with luxuriant growth, which is evil
aence of the soil of which it is composed, be-
ing that which was dug up by the machines
used in excavation. The growth, indeed, is
becoming so thick and luxuriant that it is
contemplated to trim it during the fall, as
we learned from the enterprising President of
this important work, which, we fear, is not,
p.rhaps, estimated 10 the full extent of its
great merits. AF ft EH E@ TF rl

brief space in which the work was completed,

foresight, cannot be awarded to those who
undertook and completed successfully the
great undertaking. We entered North Land

THE ELMs IN LocUsr STREET-Such of our
readers as had the pleasure of seeing those two
fine drawings by Hudson, representing Locust
Street before and after the fire, which were on
exhibition at Geyers in Free Street some
months ago, will be happy to hear that very
perfect ithograph copies of these drawings
have been made by the artist himself. The
first drawing was made in June, 1861, when
the great elms were in their full glory; the sec
ond few days after the fire, when only their
gaunt skeletons remained, and the surround
ing gardens and dwellings were all smoking
waste. We know of no more interesting me-
mortal of Portland as it was, than these con-
trasted pictures furnish. The autographed
copies reproduce the drawings with unusual
fidelity, and are nearly as beautiful as the ex-
pensive originals. As only limited number
of copies can be had, and these are sold very
low, they will undoubtedly all be taken up
soon. They may be had at the stores of An
drew Geyer, Free street, and Davis Brothers,
Fore street, as also at the studio of Mr.. Hud-
son in Market square.

sional party, Gen. Howard made an address at
the Capitol to a large crowd of freedmen. He
congratulated his hearers on the evidences Of
thrift and advancement which he found every
where among the colored race. Some of their
schools, he said, would do credit to the best
white schools in the country. He earnestly
exhorted all to life of piety, and to shun vice
and sin in every FORM He was listened to
with the closest attention, and at the close of
his address resolutions of thanks to the gallant
Chief of the Bureau were unanimously adopt
ed by the crowd.
Not the least significant Of the incidents con-
nected with the Congressional banquet was the
fact of its being overwhelmingly attended by
leading rebel citizens. The rebel Generals
Cheatham aud Maury and Ex-Governor Brown
made brief addresses concerning the good feel
ing and loye for reconstructed Union.

A GOOD NvEsTMENT.-Wec call attention to
the advertisement of Messrs. w. D. Little &
Co., on Life Insurance as an investment.
We understand that Mr.. Nahum Pickett, of
Westbrook, (recently deceased), had a policy
on his life for $1,000, taken out with the great
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York,
at the agency of w. D. Little, in 1854. This
policy will now give his family more than 81, :
600, which they will soon receive. The divi-
dends in this case (like many others with this
company being considerable more than the
premiums paid since the policy;was issued
What investment can be better? Probably no
other life company can furnish such results.
We advise our readers to examine into the
matter.
