the services of the blacks, to make their labor
contracts for the next year now, while it may
be done On more favorable terms, and with
better opportunity to make good selections.
We recommend this to our citizens as a proper
aud very desirable suggestion, 10 more ways
than one. 1t is evident that large number of
Blacks in this vicinity are unemployed, and To-
capable of sustaining themselves during the ap-
preaching winter. The natural consequence
must be that, this class will resort to theft, in-
cendiarism, murder, robbery, aud any crimes
that will enable them to obtain food On the
other hand, the Blacks are daily learning that
they must behave themselves and many are
anxious and willing to secure permanent en-
ployment. So, that now is the time to engage
field hands

The lost Charge for the Confederacy East
Of the Nississppi.-A correspondent of the
Southern Recorder furnishes that paper with
the following incident:
On the 18th day of April, 1865, General W.
W Allen, of Alabama, commanding division
of Wheelers cavalry, being hard pressed by the
enemy as be was leaving Raleigh, N. e., ordered
a detachment from the first Georgia cavalry to
hold them in check, for the division to form.
Under that order, Major John w. Tench, at
the head of four companies of the first Georgia,
made dash upon the rapidly advancing column,
threw them into confusion almost amounting
to a rout-thereby gaining time for General
Allen to dispose bis troops so as to secure a safe
retreat.
think the date is correct General Allen,
no doubt, remembers, and will testify to the
fact Our Georgia Major should be allowed to
wear his lsurels, if justly entitled to them, and

STAY LAW VETO IN M1ss1ssIppL-Governor
HUMPHREYS, of Mississippi, in his recent message
vetoing the stay law passed by the State Leg
isature takes the ground that the act is in vio-
lation of the State and Federal Constitutions,
which are claimed to be emphatic on the point
that no law shall be passed impairing the obi
CATION of contract. In the act in question a
stay is given to the debtor for the payment of
the debt extending over period of four years;
and the Governor argues that if this power thus
to stay execution exists in the Legislature, he
see no limitation to its exercise except in legsla-
tive discretion. If it be competent to stay ex-
ecution during period of four years. it is difficult
to perceive what there is to prevent an indefinite
extension. The Legislature postponed the con-
side ration of the veto message till January next

FRlGnrFUL EARTHQUAKE IN RUSSIAN AMERICA.
The ship Imperial arrived in port Tuesday last
from Kodiak, bringing intelligence of frghtfuI
earthquake at that Island, about O'Clock, p. m,
on the 9Th of September. Three houses, and
every chimney in the town were knocked down
Thecaptain of the Imperial says that the sensations
produced were beyond description. The vessel
appeared as though she was being dragged at
railroad speed over the rocks Huge masses OF
stone, which had lain uumoved for centuries, were
torn from their resting place on the mountain
sides, and hurled with deafening noise to the bot
tom of the valleys below; although great damage
was done to property, no lives were lost. Kodiak
is an island of Russian America, southeast OF the
peninsular Of Alaska. 1t is of a very irregular
shape, about seventy five miles in length by fifty
in breadth. The surface is mountainous. On
the north side is the harbor and station OF st Pau
in which the Imperial was lying at the time OF the

VINO PAYS ?-The newspapers recently re-
corded the fact that Massachusetts, manufac-
turing company had just declared dividend
of one hundred per cent on years profits, af.
ter reserving surplus enough to enlarge and i'm
prove their mill Another important fact bear
ing upon this point, is the announcement of a
wooden manufacturer in the same State, that
before the war it cost him So, sc to make yard
of cloth which he sold for 81, and that now he
sells at So per yard what only cost him 81 to
produce. These manufacturers make goods for
the million, and their enormous profits account,
in some measure, for the present extraordinary
high prices of the fabrics used by the masses.
In the face of this state of things, the Radicals
of New England are loudly clamoring for moro
protection, and want higher tariff solely as a
means of increasing their profits. The wants
and necessities of the poorer classes are un-
needed by these cormorants, and the actual cost
of living is advanced, which calls for immediate
reform.

Rock ISLAND Factory, CHARLOTTE N. c.
We have recently had the pleasure Of passing
through this establishment, and candor eompels
us to say, that We have never seen more beautiful
machinery, nor ever witnessed more order and
cleanliness than is to be found in its various de-
partments. There is place for every thing and
every thing seems to be in its place. The goods
of this factory, in style and texture, will compare
to advantage with any similar goods brought to
our markets from Northern establishments. We
trust the day is not far distant when similar fac
tories, conducted by men of like enterprise and
system as are to be in this, will spring up in
every section of our Southern land. Our friends
of the Rock Island Factory need no "pufs" to
push them forward, their goods need only to be
seen in order to he admired and sought after.
Success to all such enterprises and all such men,
