On last Monday, as a negro man was dri-
wing into town with q load of wood, about
two miles out, on the Fayetteville road, he
was met by a couple OF the numerous horse
thieves and highwaymsn who infest this
locality, and ordered to turn back with
them. This he refused to do, whereuPon
the daring scouudrels fred at him, infiict-
ing painful wound IN the hand. and then
galloped off.
Is there no protection against the depre-
dations of these audacious Williams ? Each
community should establish vigilance clubs
for self-protection, and hang every one OF
these robbers as soon as they can be en-
trapped.

A contemporary, no other than the astute

little nerve is as needed in advertising as
well as in using any other effective means
Of success. Your men who have no more
nerve than wet rag, advertise little or pot
at all, and they succeed little or not at all.
You may suppose that we are giving ad-
vice that we think would benefit ourselves.
Yes. we do think it would benefit US, but
benefit you immensely more. Think lit
tie and you will agree with US. And if
you agree with US, be wise enough to act
accordingly"

The Cost of the .ysgro.

Great Britain bought her negroes
at 500 100000 and set them free.
taxing the white laboring classes OF
her kingdom TO pay for them. We
went TO war TO free ours, and it has
cost us nearly four thousand millions
Of dollars The interest on this debt
we are now paying, but il is wrenched
from the people in snch variety Of
ways, that three-quarters of them
have no idea how It is done. 1t is
more insensible in the mode of its
operation than the sleep that steals
over the dragged victim, but ii is none
the less fatal. Perhaps the item OF
tea presents the most forcible instance
Of the cost of the negro war that can
be adduced. "Tea can be furnished"
says the Philadelphia Ledqer. s.from
China and Japan, at our ports, for
about so cents per pound in gold.
Taking this as starting yoint, the
additional charges before it reaches
the table of the consumer are said to
accumulate as follows :-Original cost
of tea imported, 80 cts; discount on
currercy TO pay for it, 90 cts; duty
in gold, 25 cts discount on currency
TO make up the gold, Is cts contin-
gencies, 10 cts; profit of importer,
IL cts. profit of jobber, 10 cts. profit
Of fretailer, say 20 cts. Total STA.
OF this ffty-four cents are comprised
in three profits, thirty five cents in ex-
change for gold, twenty-five cents in
duties, and ten cents in contingencies
in all one dollar and twenty-four
cents, in addition TO the cost on board
ship at our wharves. Before the war
the cost would have been about as
lows:-Original cost, imported so
cts. ten per cent for contingencies,
5 cts. profit Of importer, 5 cts.
profit Of jobber, 6 cts profit to the
retailer, II cts Total 80 ets.D The
reader can sec here at a glance that
hc is paying just about one dollar ex-
ira for every pound of tea he uses,

freeing the niggers. ."-Ddy Book.

We can sing away our cares easier

earliest to sing, the birds arc more
without care than anything else l
know Of Sing in the evening. Sing
ing is the last thing that robbins do.
When they have done their daily
work when they have flown their
last fight and picked up their last
morsel of food, and cleansed their bill
on a napkin Of bough, then on a
topmost twig, they sing one song Of
praise. / know they sleep sweeter
for IT, They dream music for some
times in the night they break forth
in singing, and stop suddenly after
the first note, startled by their own
voice o that we might sing evening

when he passed around the contribu-

bruised his nose, he put on a piece of

he picked up what he supposed was
