Observation-Disclosures.

The States of North Carolina and South
Carolina, so unequally yolzed together, COM
prising Military District No. 2, are behind
all the other States in the work of registra-
ton. North Carolina has thus lost month
in her return to the Union. We presume
Gen. Sickles will issue his orders soon, and
that the registration of voters will be COM
pleted by the 1st of October.
1t may be we'll to explain to the people
the steps necessary to reconstruct the State.
Let our readers, and especially the colored
people, read this and remember it.
Persons will be appointed in every Coun-
ty to do this work. They will give notice
of the times and places when and
where they will be, and they will have
books in which the names of all voters will
be written. Every person who held no civil
office before the rebellion will have the right
to enter his name. Every person who held
such office before the rebellion, and did not
engage in the rebellion, will have the right
to enter his name. Every person who held
such office before the rebellion, and engaged
IN the rebellion, is deprived of the right to
enter his name. The expression, "engaged
in the rebellion" has not been strictly de-
fined, nor can it be. This is matter to be set
tied by the persons who record the names
and the person applying.
Let every citizen entitled to do so enrol his
name. No one can vote whose name is not
~, tho b,,oL- IF rour mama ic MT tIara Won
can net vote. Walk tacenty miles, If necessa-
ry, to record your nnnae.
The next step will be to elect delegates to
a State Convention. Any voter can be del
egate This election will take place about
the first of December. The Convention will
meet about the first of January. BY the first
of February the Constitution will be formed.
But it must be submitted to the people for
ratification or rejection. This will be
done about the first of April, 1868, and
on the same day the people will vote for a
Governor, a Lieutenant Governor, members
Of the Legislature and other State officers,
and members of Congress. The Constitu-
ton will be laid before Congress. The Leg
islature will meet and elect two Senators, and
in May, 1868, the State will be restored to
the Union. We may be somewhat mistaken
as to the dates at which these things will be
done, but they will certainly be accomplished
before the 18th of July, 1868.
Prepare to record yOur names. Let nothing
prevent you from doing this. 1t is of the
greatest Importance.

the debates we had on this floor just before
the war; Rebels then used very much SUCH
language as their friends employ mere now
but it Is to be deprecated for better and
higher reasons still, and one of them is the
consequences which legitimately flow from it
to the South. IT the Democracy OF the
North had not taken the South under its

have been in the Union to-day. Well may
the South exclaim save us from our

they will follow Naaman through the Jordan

and Democracy shall be washed out OF their

Democracy they ought by this time to be
able to estimate and appreciate. The hour
they discover they possess the good sense
and courage to repudiate openly and en-
phatically treason and embrace warmly and
sincerely loyalty, they will see dawn upon
them the bright morning of their regenera-
ton and deliverance.

Destitution in this State.

The ravages of war, the loss of property
of all kinds, the drouth which prevailed in
many localities last year, and the heavy and
long-continued rains in June of the present
wear. have caused much want and suffering
in this State. We know there are instances
in which the benevolence of the government
is abused, but this is to be expected where
want so much abounds, and where there is
no regular detective system to distinguish
the really deserving from the thriftless
and vicious 1t is better to aid large num-
Der who really deserve it, and make some
mistakes in so doing, than it would be to aid
none because a few unworthy persons might
impose themselves on the government The
chief of the Freedmen's Bureau in this State,
Gen. Miles, has been very liberal in dispensing
aid to our suffering people. This aid is
freely bestowed in provisions to all actually
needy persons, without regard to color, con-
dition, or former or present political opin-
IONS God makes his sun to rise upon the
evil and the good, and his rain to fall upon
the just and the unjust. 1t is so with the
government. Its agents only need to know
that the applicant is really in a suffering con-
dition, and it is extended without regard to
the character of the applicant.
But even charity has bounds. This aid
should he given no longer than it is actually
necessary. The people should be encouraged
to rely on industry and economy for living.
The habit of begging for, or depending on
the government for living should be stern
ly discountenanced. Governments are es-
tabished, not to feed people or support
them in habits of idleness, but to protect
them in their industry and encourage them
in their efforts to improve their condition.
The aid now extended by the Bureau and
by the benevolent, is temporary in its char
acter. 1t can not be continued as perman-
ent thing 1t ought no to be.
We learn that the suffering in Union
County, in this State, is very great. The
crops in that County last year were cut off
by the drouth. The people of Union have
been relieved to some extent by the Mary
land contribution, and the contribution
made in Washington City under the auspi-
ces of DR.. Powell; but we learn that an Of
icer of the Bureau, who has carefully inqui-
red into their condition by order of Gen.
Miles, reports some seven hundred persons as
totally destitute, and of course in starving
condition. We learn that Col. Churr, who
has charge of the Bureau during the tempo
rarv absence of Gen. Miles, has sent large
quantity of corn and pork to Union, to be dis
tributed among the poor; and the committee
having in charge the Boston fund have
appropriated the sum of $500 to the County.
This sum has been sent to a committee in
! Union, who will apply it mainly to the sick,

THE 18th In lIENDERSONVILLE.

At an early hour on the morning Of the
4th day OF July, the people commenced as
sembling in the village. At eleven o'clock
the Court House bell was rung as the signal
for assembling The Stars and Stripes were
planted on the public square, at which
point procession was formed and conduc-
ted to the college grove. In the mean time
the freedmen had formed in a different part
of town, and brought up the rear in a most
orderly manner, with United States flag
and music at the head of their column
! They quietly formed on the left of the stand,
which had been kindly erected by themselves
for the OCCASION. On this selected spot some
four hours were most pleasantly and profit
ably spent by a very large assemblage of
males and females of both races. The De-
claration of Independence having been read,
the Rev. S. G. Hamilton, of Polk County,
was introduced, and entertained the assem-
blage with quite a lengthy and able dis
course. He urged the Importance Of recon-
structing North Carolina under the provis-
ms of Congress.
Mr.. T. J. Gambler, of Brncombe, was next
introduced, and informed the people that
when the rebellion was commenced he was
but mere boy, and like many others, under
the excitement of the day, was influenced to
volunteer under the pursuasion that there
yankees would not fight. These, with many
other receptions, soon led him to believe
that he was on the wrong side, and which
led him to avail himself of the first Oppor-
tunity to seek the right side by crossing the
lines, &c,
Capt Tracy of the Union army, being
next introduced. spoke Immediately to the
point, and handled the question of the day
without gloves.
The colored speakers were now invited to
the stand and without hesitation Henry
Green, Hall Pool and Wash Williams came
forward and addressed the people in a most
creditabe manner. The manner in which
they handled the subject of social equality
was quite pleasing and satisfactory
to both races. They advocated the impor-
lance of the education of their race and
strongly urged their colored friends to hab-
its of honesty and industry In speaking of
the party that gave them freedom-the Re-
publican party-the bare mention of the
name Republican, it was plain to be seen,
brought forth smiles of welcome; which
smiles played upon the glad countenances of
all present who had been slaves yea, the
smile of gladness mantlcd the cheeks of all
lovers of freedom, without regard to race or
former condition.
| With PRIDE ana pleasure, we are grained
to be enabled to announce that the day pass
ed off with but little to mar the harmony
and good feeling that seemed to pervade the
minds of all who participated in the cele-
bration of the day. With but one single ex-
ception, no one attempted to modest or in
terrupt the proceedings Whatever may
have been the feelings of Others they had
the good manners to stay away, or conduct
themselves as became gentlemen and ladies.

Our people should not forget that the 4th
day of September next, is the time set apart
for the holding of State Convention BY the
Republican party of North Carolina. Every
county if possible should be represented in
that Convention. The Republicans of the
Western Counties should hold meetings, and
consult at once in reference to this matter,
and if they find they cannot send delegate
in person, short letters expressive of their
views should be transmitted to some known
friend of the cause at Raleigh Henderson
ellie Pioneer.
We concur with our friend of the Pioneer:
We trust the Republicans will not be slow
to hold meetings and appoint delegates
Let the Convention be full one.

This is one of the most sensible and vaIu-

every important point, and inculcates the
true doctrines of the party from first to last.

Gen. John A. Logan is one of the purest
