E1- Gov. Vance has been pardoned by the Presi-
dent The pardon was recommended by L. SEN
ators and % Representatives-among them some
of the most extreme radicals.
We are sorry that the President did not pardon
every Southern man long ago, before Congress
interferred with his power the matter.
The Washington Star. speaking of Governor
Yance's pardon. says:
The President this morning issued his warrant
of pardon to q. B. Vance. late Governor of North
Carolina: The pardon was issued upon the re-
commendation of Senators Henderson, Davis,

~ The New York Herald, paper that has
always deserted principle for what it considered
the paying side. and recently advised the radical
Congress to hold The South under military control.
now advises the Southern people to send negroes
to Congress in order to spite and disgust the rad
ical party. We suspect that the advice of the
Herald is instigated by evil design-it may
want an opportunity and excuse to advise the
sending of bummers and plunderers among the
Southern people again. If reconstruction md
reconciliation is not soon effected. the Herald
knows that bad men, like those who control that
sheet, will have further opportunity to domineer

THE TERRITORY PURCHASED FROM RUSSIA.
The Territory known as Russian America has
been purchased from Russia by the United
States for the sum of $7,20O,000 Professor
Baird describes the country as follows:
Climate and Temperature.-The coast from
Prince of Wales Island to the entrance of
Behring's straits during the winter months is
about the same as the city of Washington
Little snow and much rain. During the sum-
mer months very foggy.
Timber The whole country, we'll up the
northern coast, is heavily timbered, chiefly with
hard pine forests aud small trees, up to the very
shores. Some of the islands are heavily tim
bered with pine forests and dense underbrush,
and some of them are destitute Of timber, and
covered with grass of luxuriaut growth.
Soil.-On the west coast, produces excellent
barley and roots, such as radishes, turnips; aud
esculents, such as lettuce, cabbages, &c.
AnimaIs---Furred animals, such as sea otter,
river otter, sables, furred seal, mink, foxes
(black, silver, red etc., in great numbers; red
Deer in the south and the reindeer in the north.
Fish Herring, salmon, halibut, and Goldfish
abound 10 countless numbers. In Behring's
sea aud to the northward great whales are very
| numerous.
Minerals.-Surface washings of gold have
been discovered
on the east side of the coast range of mountains
The geological developments are the same on
the western slopes. Native copper has been
discovered in various places on the coast and in
the vicinity of Copper river. Iron ore of excel
lent quality, and believed to exist in ioexbaust
less quantities, is now being smelted and worked
by Russian artisans in repairing ships, &c
Coal is also found in large quantities, and is be-
ing used by the Russians for naval purposes; is
| similar to New Brunswick coal Recent die.
coveries have been made of what is believed to
be better quality of coal, but not yet tested.
| Inhabitants Five or six thousand Russians
| fifty or sixty thousand Indians and Esquimaux
The latter inhabt the coast on the Northern
sea, are industrious, peaceable, and teachable
and live by hunting aod fishing. The Indians
inhabit the interior, are peaceable, and live by
! hunting, fishing and trapping.

Horse THIEVES ABoUr.-On Friday night last,
Mrs. Patsey Stewart, living at Coburn's Store.

from her Parties in pursuit of the thief traced
him and the animals for thirty miles from the
point where stolen into South Carolina, towards
Camden, thence through the Taxahaw settlement
to within six miles of this place, camping on Sun
day night near Mr. Thos. Robinson's residence
On Monday he started apparently fos South

apparently about twenty five, and wearing black
coat and pants, (the pants much worn at the

On Friday night, Mr. LlewelIyn Sinclair, of this
county, living within three miles of this town,
also had horse stolen from his stables. The
horse was traced to Hornsboro', S. c., at which
point the trail was lost.
In both of these instances the loss of the ami
mails to their owners falls very grievously upon
them both poor and needing the animals to
help make crops Wadesboro Argus.
Mrs Stewards mules have been captured near
Lumberton !; the thief escaped.

FERTILIzERs-Iheir Purity-Hoa0 to Make a
Iest-A correspondent of the Wilmington Jour-
nal communicates the following to that paper:
Messrs. Editors II wish to make suggestion
to planters who have bought fertilizers, which
think will be advantageous to some of them.
There is little doubt that the amount of such
articles purchased is very large. perhaps larger
than ever before; they may all be reliable, and
they may not. They generally sold by
sample, and by analysis which purports to be
a fair one of the lot The suggestion is, that
every farmer fill clean, dry bottle. and cork up
tightly and seal it up carefully; liable and put it
in dry place. If it does not improve his crop
he can then have an analysis made and see whether
or not the article was what it purported to be- If
farmers were more particular in this respect they
would not complain of being disappointed so often.

COUNTY MATTERS.

The County Court for Necklenburg was in session
last week. and on Tuesday the Magistrates assem-
bled for the purpose of levyng the County Tax for
the present year.
The following Report and recommendations O!
the Finance Committee were adopted by the Court
To the Honorable Court of Pleas and Quarter Session:
of MeckIenburg County:
Your Committee of Finance, to whom referred
the amount of Taxes to be laid by the County this
wear have given the same a careful consideration,
and in view Of the enormous burden it will impose
upon the people levy tax sufficient TO County
and Court expenses and other Indebtedness, do not
feel as if they would be justified in recommending
such tax would discharge all claims this year.
They forced to the suggestion that the debt due
by the County d. Henderson, say 81, 600; inter-
due this year, including January, 1868, 81 200
old interest not funded, say ST 500; Funded Bonds
and interest due this year, So, 0O0-amountng TO
So, 700-be extended beyond the year and they
would recommend that the same be funded in Bonds
to be issued by the Chairman and Clerk of the Court
maturing FIVE years after date, and bearing interest
at the rate of six per cent, payable annually.
II will be absolutely necessary to raise funds for
County purposes,
say for Asylum, $1,000
g Wardens of the Poor, 5000
County Purposes, 10000

TRUE.-The Richmond Wing, speaking of the
coming reconstruction elections makes this truth
full remark:
at may be as necessary to sacrifice our pre-
ferences for men as it is to sacrifice prefer
ences for particular forms of Constitution"
IF the people will act on that idea, and abandon
their old prejudcss and preferences, there will
be no further trouble.

One singular fact, says Young's History of
the war, in connection with the death of Mr.
Lincoln, is, that no coroner's inquest was ever
held on his body, no legal evidence taken as to
the manner of his death, nor was single per-
son, accused of connection with it, ever brought
into court of law; nor is there to this day any
legal testimony whatever as to the manner of his
death, the cause of it, or who killed him.
