Nth Carolina is not State and her gov

brokers' are at least as keen as the pohtl-
cians of Congress. The standing OF pubic
securities is about as good a test OF the le-

Fest than the opinions of political parti-

p1-vrps AND SELLERS OF n. G. BONDS
Al the suggestion of a friend, we give
the following hints to the public, who may
he interested in \. G. Bonds:
IN. C. Bonds simply, without any re-
mark. in the language of the Stock Elk
change Brokers, means old y. Z. Bonds,
with coupons attached from July list 1861.
New bonds means bonds issued since
the war, with coupons attached from LIST:
J1iy 1866, inclusive, i. e. three coupons OF
$50 each.
bonds ex-coupons" means old bonds,
with coupons attached from July L, 1000,
inclusive, i. e. three coupons.
If either coupon is lacking, 1t is counted
worth $50. not its market value.
We caution our readers against buying
coupon State bonds, which have been reg
isicred in the State Treasury, unless those
bonds have been properly re-tranSterred 10
bearer Otherwise. they are not negotla-
bic by delivery.
We are informed that, during the war
some State bonds, the property OF the late
Gen. Branch, of Urias BaucOm and perhaps
others. were stolen, as alleged, by Federal
soldiers, and are now in circulation. All
bonds Of this class are stopped and are
not negotiable on delivery, and as the Pub
lie Treasurer has been duly notified not to
nav them. the purchasers of them Will lind
themselves deceived.
Those bonds on which writing has been
erased, should be avoided, unless the Public
Treasurer is consulted and pronounces
them all right. These suggestions are I'M
portant, to avoid error and loss.-Rale1gh

SWAMP LANDs.-Thc recent publication
by the Literary Board, exhibiting the char
acter and advantages Of the Swamp Lands
owned by the State, we are glad to observe.
has awakened considerable interest through
out the country. We have seen fattering
notices Of it in many of the leading papers
of the North and Northwest. Better thar
this, we learn that German Emigrant As
ISOLATION have submitted a proposition fOl
the purchase of the entire body,-furthel
particulars of which we shall soon be able
to give the public. This is encouraging.
We know of nothing that would help more,
just now, IN the development of our re
sources and in general recuperatiOn, than
the immigration TO the State of large NUM-
bers of industrious, frugal Germans.
General Gwynn left the city on yesterday
morning, on professional visit to Hyde
