GEARr AND THE fsoLDIERs.-At the re-
cent Soldiers Convention, held in Lancaster
to elect delegates to Pittsburg, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
ReSolUed, That in the nomination by the
Union party of Major General John w.
Geary, for Governor of Pennsylvania, we
see eYinced the determination by loyal peo-
pie to recognize the claims of those who have
brought the late terrible civil war to a sue
cessful issue; and being one of us, and hav-
ing proved himself not only brave and
prudent officer and gallant soldier, but also
in possession of those admirable qualities to
be required in a ruler, and better still, fore
most in the support of those principles for
which we fought for four years, we pledge
to him our hearty and enthusiastic support.

fishers. have laid upon our table, quite an in
teresting pamphlet, written by Captain J. C.
G., entitled g Lees Last Campaign" The
work is well and carefully written, and gives
a correct account of the condition of the Ar
my of Northern Virginia in its last days, or
at least that portion oftlle command with which
the Captain was identified. On page speak
ing of Gordons attack upon Fort Steadman,
March 9th, he enormously says, and with
loss to the Federals Of one principal Fort
(Haskell,) &c. Fort Haskell was not taken.
it was Fort Steadman, on the New Market
Race Course, at Hares house. Fort Haskell
was situated on COL Avery's place, some mile
or more to the Confederate right. The failure
to take Fort Haskell resulted in the subse-
quent abandonment of Fort Steadpan and
the falling back to the main lines, by the
Confederate forces.
On page %, speaking Of the capture of Fort
Gregg, he states that Gen. Heth and Will
cox were in the Fort, cheered the men to the
last, and, at the minute of its surrender, noun
ted their steeds, dashed through the salis
port and retreated to the rear" Both these
Generals were in A. P Hills corps, and were
not exactly at that point. Gen. Matt Ran
som, of North Carolina, had his horse shot I'M
der him at Fort Gregg and Gen. Harris COM
handing the Mississippi brigade. was wound
ed and taken prisoner. Heth and Wilcox
were in another part of the field, doing all
that men could do to encourage their-over-
taxed troops.
The book is well worthy OF perusal, and
speaks in candid manner of the retreat, and
the bearing of matters and things connected
with the surrender, fully attesting the fact,
that the Captain was close observer of things
generally. We predict for this little book
quite demand. 1t is an important page of
history. and worthy consideration.

SUPPORT YOUR MECHANICS.

SUPPORT YOUR mEChANAOS'
There is no truth more undeniable than
that it is the bounden duty of every commu-
nifty to support its own mechanics They are
a worthy and indispensable class Of men, and
we find no town or village fourishing without
them.
Indeed, their presence, or absence, is al
ways true index of the condition of place;
whether advancing in wealth or Importance,
or sinking into decay. Whenever we pass
through village and hear the frequent sound
of the carpenters hammer and the clink Of the
blacksmith's anvil, that village, we say to our
selves, is fourishing. 1t cannot be otherwise;
for the producers are actively employed and
outnumber their consumers.
Whenever and wherever this is the case
the people are growing wealthy, and are at
the same time, training up the rising gene
ration to habits of industry and morality /;
whereas, if city, or village pursues the
opposite Of this course, neglects its mechan-
les and supports those of some distant town
those who will be compelled by the force of
circumstances to remain, will become idle and
prohigate-they will cease to produce, and be
consumers-ina few years will become beggars
and their children ignorant and vicious
If there is any truth in the assertion that
we ought. as nation, to give the preference
to domestic manufactures, the fact is equally
true with regard to a COMMUNICATED are
sustained by the same arguments. If mer-
chant would have around him substantial Gus
toners, let him, by every means in his power,
support and foster the mechanics in his vicin-
ity, and, as they become more wealthy, their
custom will increase; especially in those arti-
c!es on which he makes the greatest profit.
The habit of importing large quantities Of
cheap and half-made articles, to compete with
our own mechanics, is short-sighted and wrong,
both as regards the mechanic and consumer.
So with the practice of sending away to have
every little job of work done, whether of prin-
ting or coat-mak king. And if the merchant
would look further into the operation of things,
he would find that he crossed the path of his
own interest by doing so.
Let the merchant bring the case to his own
door, and he perhaps may better understand
it. Suppose that every individual who pos
sesses the means, and who uses, in his own
family, four or five hundred dollars worth Of
goods per annum, should, instead of buying of
him at retail, go to some wholesale establish
ment and purchase his years supply, would
ne not in bitterness condemn such an illiberal
course, and would he not say to him, with
truth, that he was warning against his own in
terest by destroying the business of his own
vicinity and giving it to another; and that his
littleness would react upon him double-fold by
the decrease of his property and business. So
in the case first mentioned could the .Aechanic
say the same to the merchant.
/ We say, then, let all classes support one
another, and by mutual exchanges keep that
wealth at home, which, if expended elsewhere,
necessarily tends to destroy the business of
your neighbor, and which, in turn, destroys
your own.

Message OF the Governor of North Ca
POlina.

RALEIGH, January 19.-Gov. Worth's mes
sage was read before the Assembly to-day.
He recommended the early appointment, of
magistrates, and that the acts of the provisional
clerks and sheriffs performed since the Pro-
visionel Governor was relieved, be confirmed
by the Legislature. He recommends that the
Attorney General have fixed salary and re-
side at the Capital, and be not required to
ride over the circuit.
He recommends that all laws passed during
the war unsuited to the present condition, or
in conflict with allegiance, or with the Consti
tuition of the State or the United States, be
repealed. The Governor hopes that the time
is not distant when the United States will per-
ceive that we are ready to perform all our OBJ
legations to the National Government
He advises the adoption Of an ineligible
and judicious militia code and the reorganiza-
ton of the militia of the State. He reviews
the condition of the banks, and advises an
amendment to the charters of the banks and
railroads to allow them to take stock in the
National Banks. The State debt, exclusive
Of the war debt, is near fourteen and half
millions of dollars
He advises the issue and sale of State bonds
to pay the interest on the State debt The
taxes to meet the liabilities would be more
than double the former taxes, and more than
the people in their impoverished condition
could pay The Governor says he would not
be understood as being Respondent relative to
the State affairs. He says lie must rely chief
ly upon our virtue and persevering industry
he must protect the laborer and punish the
vagrant. He recommends stay law for the
benefit of debtors, if q constitutional mode can
be devised.
The Governor thinks there is no necessity
for continuing the Freedmens Bureau. After
the jurisdiction of the courts is restored the
blacks will get justice from the courts, and
this will prevent conflict of authority. He
refers the Legislature to the commission APP
pointed by the convention to review the code,
touching the blacks. He makes no specific
recommendation, but leaves the matter to the
Assembly.
He refers to the collection of taxes by Fede-
raj officers, and regrets that our Senators and
Representatives have not been admitted. He
closes as follows: II pray God returning
sense of patriotism and justice will ere long
correct the prejudices of the times and carry
out the wise system so successfully begun, and
restore the States to constitutional and har-
monious Union and that He will inspire all
of us with the wisdom and disposition to do
right"
