North Carolina Unionists.

The character of the support given TO
the constitutional amendment in the South
ern States is curiously illustrated in North
Carolina. We exposed, day or two since,
the record of the sunory gentlemen of the
South who are very noisy advocates of ne
gro suffrage, and in North Carolina Gov
ernOr Holden is now undertaking to run
General Dockery on the amendment basis,
despite General Dockery's declination. -
The latter, however, advocates the amend
ment, not per Sc, but as q means of getting
back into the Union.
Holden undertakes to make out that Gen.
Dockery is a better Union man than Gov
ernor Worth, though both gentlemen were
State Senators in December, 1860, and the
General voted for a proposition to put
100000 at the service of the secession
Government, and Governor Worth, with
but two others, opposed it and in May,
1861, on the final passage of the BILL call
ing the secession convention, General Dock
cry voted aye, and Governor Worth voted
no. And, after the war was fairly inagur-
ated, and while both sustained their sec
ton, Governor Worth advocated peace, on
the basis of the Union, while the General
repudiated all idea of reconstruction. Yet,
forsooth, now, because General Dockery is
willing to put an indignity on his section,
IN the nope OF winning O Congressional ex-
emption, he is better Union man than
one whose fidelity was proverb !
There is small party in North Carolina
who would accept the amendment as a
means of restoration, but hardly man that
is intrinsically in favor of it. With the
bulk of the people it is extremely unpopu-
lar, and some, who would not otherwise
much oppose it, repudiate it, on the ground
that it is an insult to ask them to ratify an
amendment proposed by Congress which
excludes them from representation.

The Negro at Home.

M de Chaillu, of gorilla renown, has
read paper before the British Association,
stating the results of second expedition,
undertaken at his own cost, with a view to
further exploring the interior of Africa,
and Of establishing the accuracy of former
observations. The condition of the natives
as portrayed by NJ. de Chaillu, is deplora-
bic:
Though no slave trade had started for to
decimate tribes, they were under the still
more fearful slavery of superstition, caus-
ing the loss of incalculable lives. He, in
common with other travellers in Africa, had
done his best to discover any traces of
higher civilization at any former period
in the negro, but had failed. He was
accordingly led to the conclusion that
he was the same being now as in ages
past. Their numbers were diminishing,
but for this the white man was not respon-
sible The charge of exterminating the
native races was one at all times leveled at
the white man but the difference was this
after the arrival of the white man, the
diminution was remarked, whereas previ-
ously the white man was ignorant on the
subject. The natives when questioned admit
ted that their decline Of numbers had been
going on for a long time, and he himself
could testify to the accuracy of the state
ment, villages which he visited for the
second time on his last journey have visibly
decreased in size. The African race in time
would disappear from Africa, as the Brit
ons, the Aborigines of Australia, and the
Polynesians had all disappeared from the
countries which they once occupied.

SOUTHERN CROP PRosPECTs-The ac-
counts that reach us by the Southern mail
are little more favorable for the cotton
crop in Louisiana and Alabama, but in
Mississippi things appear to be getting no
better. The Carroll (Miss.) Record, of
Both says
We have no crops. Some few weeks ago we had
a fair prospect, but the worms have eaten up the
leaves, forms and bolls, and have commenced
on the stalks. In another week, if they continue
they have been doing, they will devour the crop
root and branch and it will be difficult for one to
tell that such a thing cotton painted
in the fields, which, three weeks ago, were bloom
ing with the great staple.

Justice, human justice, tits dead o God, to Thee
Ever ascends the nations cry to set our martyr

For him, our brave, true hearted one, whose every

81 have brought my daughter to you to be tau

Dear madam, I've called for the purpose
Of placing my daughter at school;
She's only thirteen, / as ure YOU,
And remarkably easy to rule.
I'd have her learn painting and music,
GYMNASTICS and dancing, pray do,
Philosophy, grammar and logic;
You'll teach her 10 read. OF course, too.
9 l wish her to learn CvorE study,
Mathematics are down liz my plan,
But Of figures she scarce has an mixing,
Pray instruct her in those, if you can.
Ia have her taught Spanish and Latin,
Including the language OF France
Never mind her very bad English,
Teach her THAT when you find good chance
Son the harp she must be a proficient,
And play the guitar pretty soon,
And sing the last opera music,
f., en- though she can't turn right tune.
You must see that her manners are finished,
That she moves with Hebe-hkc grace
For though she Is lame aud one-slded,
That's nothing to do with the case.
''NOw, TO you I resign this young jewel,
And nv words [ would have you obey;
In six months you return her, dear maGan,
Shining bright as an nnclouded day.
She's no apmesS, [ grant you, for learning,
And her memory Oft seems to halt
But, remember il she's not accomplished,
1t Will certainly ali be your fault

WASHINGTON, Oct. s,

STANTON ON RESPECT TO LINCOLN.
Captain Dick Meade of the Navy, had a
warm interview with Secretary Stanton to-
day. The Secretary has ordered the rebel
archieves to be placed in Captain Meade's
house, instead of Ford's theatre, which was
purchased tor that purpose, on the ground
that it would be disrespectful to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln, who was killed there
to place these rebel memorials in that
building. Captain Meade claims that such
use of the house of his late mother is objec-
tionable on the same ground, and he de-
mands that the government shall take the
house off his hands.
\ little Civet, good apothecary I!
A Washington dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Ledger says General Howard has
ordered the rents that have accrued upon
the property of Joseph E. Davis, brother
of jefferson Davis, to be paid to him from
and since the date of his pardon papers,
which were issued on the 2Sth of March
last, but not forwarded to him until early
in September The value of these rents is
not far from 20,0OO per annum. so that,
in effect, Davis receives probably as full, or
nearly as full an equivalent, as if the prop
erty itself had been fully restored to him.
The question of the restoration of this prop
erty has been before General Howard for
some time, but he prefers that another
and not himself, shall order it's restitution.
I am told that the property of Jefferson
Davis is also included in the amount held
or claimed by his brother, one title cover
ing the whole.
