Cotton Crop,of Georgia.


A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel, writing from Macon, says of
the cotton crop of Georgia s have con-
versed with gentlemen from every section of
the State in relation to the probable extent
of the present cotton crop, and find that the
universal report is, that there cannot he more
than one-third of the usual crop made this
year. There are in this this city some gen.
tlemen from every county in the State where
cotton is grown to any extent, and all con-
cul in the statement that have just made
as to the extent of the crop. The lateness of
the fail has not been in the least degrte ben
eticial to the crop. as the continued rains of
the month of October induced such rapid
growth ofthe plant that the late fruit has
not been matured. A general frost of month
ago would not have shortened the crop in
any perceptible degree"

Something must be done, and quickly
done, or Peace will be more disastrous to the
social veal even than War.-Sentinet.
Well, why is not something donea Your
faction has supreme control in North-Caro-
lima. The Union men are despised and pow
erless. They are not responsible for our
disastrous social" condition. They are not
responsible for that fragrant defiance of the
will of the nation, and that rampant dis
unionism which, in effect, prolongs the war,
and not only keeps capital and enterprise out
of the State, but actually sends thousands of
our best citizens in despair to better their for
tunes in distant lands. 1t is yoar selfishness,
it is your stubbornness, it is your treason, it
is your want of faith which you pledged in
1865, that is completing the ruin of the State.
But you are all well-to-do in Israel Your
favorite leaders, with treason on their tongues
and hatred to the Union in their hearts, are
filling the offices, and handling the money,
| and deyising schemes for the future for their
own especial benefit As long as yu are
,, permitted to do this you do not wish to re-
turn to the Union. You feel that you would
lose all this by returning, and SO you want to
remain as you are. But the people have a
deep interest in this business. Granted
But what do you care about the people, but
to gull and fleece them. and ride them as so
many pack-horses9 When they vince, or
show a disposition to have their own way,

and thus, by iniaming their passions, you

you from the hope that you were loyal, and
that you would do justice to his Union

wrath; and the Congress, seeing your con-
temptuous rejection of mild terms of restor-

justice which you ought to have received in

Oysters.

Oysters are brought to the Raleigh market,
by several dealers in large quantities, and are
retalled now at 81 % cents per gallon. At
the opening of the season they were sold at
81 90. AT the Sounds near Wilmington.
and in Calicut, North River, and around
Harkers Island, near Morehead and Beaufort
oysters could be cultivated at as little trouble
and cost as anywhere else, and would be
highly remunerative Some of the More
headians and Wilmingtonians would find it
TO their advantage, to engage in this useful
and lucrative business. Nothing is more
simple or certain, and but few callings would
pay better for the small amount of capital
and care that would be requisite to manage
the cultivation in great abundance of this
DELICIOUS and nutritive shellish.
We have never tasted better oysters any
where, than those from North River, near
Dsanfert.

The names of Perry and Sharkey willlive
in history and be embalmed in the memories
of the sons of the South forever, while those
of Holden, Jack Hamilton and Brownlow,
will only he named to be secuted and de-
nounced.-Sentinel.
We consider it an honor tn be "scouted
and denounced" by persons disahecred to the
government
We have nothing to say against Governors
Sharkey and Perry. They pursued their
course, and we pursued ours. If they are true
othe South, we think we are truer to its best
interests than they are, by being true to the
Union.
So far as Governors Hamilton and Brown
low are concerned, we esteem them the equals
of Governors Sharkey and Perry in purity.
integrity and patriotism. We differ in many
respects with all of these distinguished men,
but we shall not on that account, malign
and revile them
We are quite content with our record
As to history, we have as fixed a place in it
as any, for it will always be known that

FAIR VIEw, N. c., Oct. "a, 1886

Mr. EDITOR viii you permit me
through the columns of your paper, to return
my thanks to those brave men in the 49th
Senatorial District, who cast their votes in
favorof the Constitutional amendment, show
ing their willingness to return to the Gov
ernment of their fathers from whence they
have been dragged and driven by traitors,
upon the terms therein offered. know,
felow-citizens, We are now in the minority,
which is partly owing to the want Of time on
my part to canvass the District, and partly
owing to misrepresentation and, domestic
falsehoods of our opposers, and for the want
of courage on the part of some Union men.
But let it go. am happy to know that
there are in this Senatorial District 1928
fearless Union men who will not bow to. the
secession god, and whoselips will never kiss
him.
: But let US be cool and calm, for the days
of rebel rule are numbered. Its reign will
soon be over. have done, in part, what l
came into the field to do, and that was to
show the friends of the Amendment in this
Senatorial District, and keep them from be-
ing blinded by its opposers. have doneit,
and the Government now knows how We
stand. And flour party is small here, the
Northern elections have made up al our los
ses and thongh we are defeated now. yet
We fa to rise again the principle for which
we contended is right and will prevail the
day of our deliverance will come, and We
will yet be freed from treasons' reign and
traitors rule. God will bring it in his own
good time Some OF us may not be here to
see it. The hands which have defeated us
may slay some of us, but let it come; the
blood of the martyrs was the seed of the
church the blood of pure Union men in this
State, shed by the hands of their enemies,
will sow Unionism so thick that treason
would soon wither and die, and traitors
would he punished indeed.
We hear it hinted that Union men had
better leave and go to cline that would be
more congenial to their politics. 1t has been
further charged on us that we would bring
evil on the country: and our oppressors may
bring it, or our blood may bring it, as did
the blood ora righteous Abel on the head of
a murderOus brother.
And now, fellow citizens please receive
/ unfeigned thanks for the liberal support you
have given to one who feels his inability, and
knows his nnworthiness for the trust you
were willing to confde in him, while am
sure that the cause which has been twice
made sacred to u.s. first by the blood of our
ancestors, lastly by the blood of our kindred,
shall never be insulted again. by its enemies,
and remain a silent spectator of the shame

More Emigrants.

On "Wednesday some three to four hundred
emigrants passed through this City on their
way to the northwest They were of all ages
and both sexes They were from Iredell,
Stokes. Yadkin, Randolph, and other Coun-
ties west of Raleigh.
This emigration from the State is very
much to be deplored. We learn that it is
not confined to the region above mentioned,
but that the tide is swelled by emigrants
from nearly every portion of the State.
The Sentinel, Gov. Worth's organ, says
these people are leaving the State on account
of the fears which have been excited by
the declarations of the Radicals" If this
be so, it is strange that they are going right
into the midst of the Radicals. As the Sen
tinel has introduced politics in this connec-
ton, we will state the facts as they are These
emigrants are all Unionists, and it is partic-
ularly on that account that We regret to see
them leave. 1t is enough for them to say,
depressed and sorrowful as they are when
leaving their native land, that they are seek
ing better country. This expression, in
itself, contains volume. They know we
have here a State government which is at
least Indifferent to them, and politicians con-
trolling public aff'irs who do not hesitate to
ridicule them for their Union sentiments,
and who agree with this very olaan OF the
Governor in pronouncing leading Unionists
c. e q,
cheney and meanness," and the great body of
the ''pedce men" of the State cowards," be-
cause they were anxious at any and every
period during the war, to obtain peace by
restoring the Union. Yes, such people are
held up as having "cowardly deserted" the
Confederacy, and that with the approval of
the head of the existing State government.
for the paper that almost constantly uses
this language enjoys his patronage and con-
fdence, and is his organ. NEARLY all these
emigrants are persons who were hunted
down during the rebellion, to be carried,
roped or hand-cuffed, to the Confederate ar
mics; and in many instances their old faith
were penned up for weeks to make them tell
where the deserters and conscripts could be
found, while their houses were plundered and
burned and their stuff destroyed. When the
war was over, these people fondly hoped that
they would have a loyal State government; !;
that they would be respected for their devo-
tion to the Union; that as the result of the
new order of things, capital would be
brought into the State to improve and build
it up, and that they would thus become par
takers of the prosperity that would set in
with renewed life on new basis. Disappoin-
ted in this, they are leaving the State in large
numbers. They had no thought of doing
SO in 1865, under loyal administration of
our affairs. They were then respected and
honored as Unionists and not ridiculed
and bemeaned as they now are, on account
of their principles.
Union people leaving the State from fear
of the Radicals, and going right into the
midst of the Radicals! The Sentinel must
try again. Even the little newsboys will
laugh at such a reason for this tide of emf
grafton from the State
