member of the Kentucky Legislature. made
a speech at Carrolton, which correp ondent
summarizes as follows:
"He started off by saying he had always
been State-Rights Democrat. He denoun-
ced Mr.. Lincoln, Douglas, and Andy John
son in the most bitter terms said, that the
Democratic Senators from the South did
wrong in vacating their seats at the begin
ming of the war said Mr.. Lincoln had no
power under the Constitution to call out
any troops; was opposed to paying the pub
lie debt /; that Kentucky ought not to pay
another dollar until her representatives were
admitted and that if the South ever regain
ed her rights it would be by the sword and
said if that was treason the Government
might make the most of it; was in favor of
returning every slave to his original master :;
was in favor of a law in Kentucky that every
one who lost any thing in Kentucky during
the war, or by the war, should be paid, and
that the General Government should refund
it to Kentucky was in favor of General w.
o. Butler (who was present. for the next
President; sand that the national laws we've
not to conflict with the State laws, but were
only auxiliary to them. The whole tenor of
his speech was OF the same sort of stuff"

men to agitate the question of reconstruc

ResOzced. That the situation of affairs de-
mand immediate action on the part of every

failed, have had to resort to a more severe
method to reclaim the erring people OF the
South.

and general good conduct; for the sobrlety,
industry and cheerfulness with which they

the country in violation of the known will
of two-thirds of the people, oaths of allie
glance &c. plunged the country into war
and bloodshed, should be prevented from
assuming official control of the State or a
voice in the nations councils.

REPUBLICAN MEETING AT CENTRE, STANLl
COUNTY,

On the 1st day OF August, 1867, Repub-
ican meeting was held at Centre, in Stanly
County.
On motion, Jno. p Duke was called to the
Chair, and W. II. D. Greene requested to act
as Secretary. A large number of both races

Lee, T. D. Lee, J. P. Duke, Lewis Smith,
Joshua Hudson, Henry Solomon, G. Lee,
whites, and Ben. Davis, Isaac Shoffner, A.
Cobb, colored. Mr.. L. C. Morton was then
introduced, who addressed the people for an
hour, dealing heavy blows to the rebels, and
eXhorting the people to join the ranks of the
Republican party. He said the advocates of
war preferred subjugation to reconstruc-
tion-they preferred the government of Eng
land and France rather than that of their
fathers. Such men would wade through
blood to establish a throne:
He exhorted the coored people to vote
with the Republican party. 1t had accom-
plished everything for them. 1t relied upon
them to return good for evil. Act like men,
educate your children, and be careful to do
no wrong to any man.
}. M. Wilkerson was then called for, who
spoke for only a few minutes. He called to
the colored people, who were Republicans to
raise their hands, when every one present
did so.
The committee then reported the follow
ing resolutions
Res0t0ed, That we endorse the Republican
platform adopted by the Convention that
met In Raleigh, on the 9th of March last,
and pledge ourselves to do all in our power
to strengthen that party.
ResoIoed, That we tender thanks to the
Congress for the passage of the reconstruc-
ton laws, enfranchising all men without re-
gard to race or former condition
Resolced, That we recognize these laws of
Congress as the supreme laws of the land.
Re8ol0ed, That we look to Congress for pro-
lection under these laws.

who does not advocate Union, Liberty and
political Equality. ..
ResOl0ed, That we tender thanks to Gen.
sickles for Order No. 10, suspending the col
lection of debts.

Holden for the bold and able stand which
he has taken for the Republican cause.
On motion of L. G. Morton, Mr.. 81. Solo
mon was thanked for the manner in which he
carried the flag on the occasion.
When the procession was formed. a short
march made, and the assembly dispersed.

THE PEA Nut CRoP.-From a converse
ton held few days since with large
planter of this vicinity, we learn that the
pea nut crop is at present in fair condition.
AS with the other crops so has this been in
jured by the heavy rains, yet with fair sea-
sons between this time and harvest, it is
supposed that the yield will be at least
equal to that of last years planting. 1t is
calculated that some 10000 bushels were
realized then in New Hanover and Onslow
counties, the principal pea nut sections of
this region, and our informant estimates
that the yield will be fully as much this
year. No opinion can however be formed
with anything like certainly at present, and
it will not be until the middle of Septem-
Der that the planter can count positively upon
given yield. By that time, if favorable
weather should continue, the pea will be
well matured, and the amount of the har-
vest, which takes place in October, can be
more fully estimated Wilmington Post

Unfavorable News of the Cotton Crop.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. ..
Cotton crop advices from the lower river
parishes of louisiana and the counties of
Mississippi are quite untavorable. In all
the lower parishes of Louisiana the worms
are at work to an alarming extent. In Point
Coupee the destruction was so complete
that some plantations were Abandoned
Another statement says that from the Kan
sas river gloomy accounts are received; not
only is every plantations suffering, but those
in safety to-day are looking for the visiting

The disunion presses are publishing what
they call Record of Scoundrelism," con-
sisting OF some statements of man named
Durham, or Conover, to the effect that Mr..
Ashley and other members of Congress had
conspired by bribery and subornation of
perjury to impeach the President. This
man Conover is now in the penitentiary for
perjury. He is man of desperately wicked
character. He is good witness for the per-

with valuable and interesting communica-

One of the first duties of the Republican
party of this State, after it obtains power,
will be to establish free schools for all, and
to improve the country by means of rail-
roads. The Republican party is emphati-
cally the party of churches, school houses,
and internal improvements.

We publish to-day the specifications and
finding of the court martial in the case of
the assault on W. j. Armstrong and John Q.
Thompson, in Columbia, S. G. The punish
ment has been prompt and properly severe.
Such cases would be general, but for the
presence of troops and the fear of conse-
quences. If South Carolina should be re-
stored to the Union under the auspices of
Gov. Orr, and North Carolina under the au-
spices of Gov. WORT, neither the property
nor the lives of Republicans would be safe.

General Grant and MIR. Stanton.

1t seems that Gen. Grant, in accepting
temporarily the post of Secretary of War, adj
dressed letter to Mr. Stanton, from which
the following is an extract:
"In notifying you of my acceptance, I
cannot let the opportunity pass without e1-
pressing to you my appreciation Of the zeal,
patriotism, frmncss and ability with which
you have ever discharged the duties of Sec
rotary of war;"
In the course of his reply Mr.. Stanton
said:
"You will please accept my acknowledg-
ment of the kind terms in which yeu have
notified me of your acceptance of the Presi-
dents appointment, and my cordial reciprO
cation of the sentiments expressed"
Mr.. Stanton has been removed by the
President in violation of the law of Congress.
But justice will be done, and the law vindica-
ted. Mr.. Stanton will carry with him in his
temporary return to private life, the good
wishes of millions of his loyal countrymen.

coRN SraAR.-We recently noticed the

CoRS SUeAR-We recently noticed the
fart in Illinois to establish the manutac
ture of beet sugar, on a large scale, by a
CORPORATION composed principally OF Ger
mans. The falling off Of the sugar pro-
duct of Louisiana, and the high tarlff
upon Cuban sugars imported into the
United states, have resulted in many
experiments 70 supply the demand tor
sugar by the use Of other raw material
than the cane of this region. Sorghum
and imphee have been cultivated with
continually increasing profit in lilinols
and Wisconsin. More attention has been
paid of late to the manufacture of maple
sugar. The beet sugar experiment bids
fair to be remnnerative.. We Loulsiapi-
ans are compelled to witness the intro
duetion Of a great many substitutes Tor
the staple that, in old times, brought for
tuae to cur planters aud business to the
New Orleans levee. The latest attemp-
which offers a prospect of success IN this
direction is the production OF perfectly
crystalized sugar from Indian corn. The
Montreal Pays informs US that a Mir
flgeon, iateiy OF Moptfsat, ouC 10" d
resident of the United States, has sue
ceeded in this task which has repeatedly
baf1ed the experts of Europe. Some of
the sugar produced by him from corn
was sent to the Paris exhibition, and
| there excited the notice Of sauaats aud
manufacturers. Analysis has proved It's
excellent ~saeeharine properties. 1t is
said that two million pounds of this SUI
gar have been manufactured already by
Mr.. Pigeons process, and that the sale Of
rights to make 1t, in the State of New
York alone, has already netted SAC, 900.
This invention is something far more
formidable to Louisiana sugar planters
than any other yet brought to light, if the
accounts which reach us are deserving Of
full belief.-Greseeat.
