B~A correspondent Of the n. c. Presbyterian
calls attention to the fact, that of the School
Books published at the North. and brought to
the South for sale, contain offensive and insult
ing chapters in regard to the late war, besides
being false and unfair. If we have been suhiuga-
ted, it is right that should contend for the truth
of history; and we hope southern school teach
ers will be cautious about what sort of books
they introduce into their schools. If teacher
persists in using such offensive books. let all
honorable southern refuse to patronize him
or her. That's all.

"a The Hillsboru Recorder has just discover
ed that the Democrat said something disagreeable
about the course of Mr. Josiah Turner, the MEM
Der elect to Congress from the Raleigh District.
AS the Recorder does not seem to comprehend
the meaning of our remarks ABOUT Mr. Turner. we
do not any necessity for further comment on
its article. But will repeat, that the course
of such men Mr. Turner has done much to emf
barrass the President and retard restoration. Mr.
Turner urged on and commenced contest in
this State last Fall when the people did not de-
quiet. TO satisfy old prejudice and passion Mr.
Turner and Il few others determined that strug-
gle for office should be made-ard this while he
unpardoned and in defiance of the President
proc lamation. Had it not been for such conduct
would have had no contention quarreling and
division in this State. We make professions
of having been a Union man Ourself during the
but we think it would have been much bet
for for US all if those who were considered Union
men by the u. S. authorities had been permitted
TO hold the offices in this State for year at
least, without contest of any kind. Such Il
course would have aided and STRENGTHENED Presi-
dent Johhson's liberal and wise policy.
We do not charge Mr. Turner with being dis
loyal. The point make is this, that while
quiet prevailed and while there was prospect
that old differences would be buried, Mr. I. ex-
erted himself to foment strife and contention for
the public offices and when the proper time ar
rives prepared to sustain this charge
against other public in this State. We know
something about their course for the last nine
months, 5 we'll as for the past fifteen twenty

IL The radicals have met with some unex
pected trouble in their scheme of turning Mr.
Stockton out of the U. S. Senate and getting a
radical sent in his place. The New Jersey Lee
gisature has twice been prevented from electing

the President of the State Senate, Mr. Scovel,
(himself a republican, to cooperate with the
radicals. Mr. Scovel declares that he is in favor
of President Johnson's policy, and will not vote
for q man to go to Washington to obey the de-
