CoNFIsCATIoN.-We copy the following para
graph from the Wilmington Dispatch of last
week, for the purpose Of saying few words in
regard to the subject mentioned:
THE impression gains ground, and in opin-
ion quite properly. that the present Congress of
the United States will resort tn cOnfiscafon of
Southern lands part Of the system of pains
and penalties to be imposed on the Southern peo-
pie for their partic patton in the for the
Enlistment of the independence of the C"nfeGe
rate States. We learn that one of the largest
business houses in this city has recently received
advice from correspondents in New York. of
standing and influence in the commercial world.
warning against the extension of credits and Civ
ing reason for the utmost caution in this par
tcular the certainty of the passage of cnnfsca-
ton laws during the present session of the 10th
Congress-"
We suggest to our Wilmington contemporary
that it is improper and bad policy to publish such
statements at this time. We ought to do nothing
that will discourage our people from making all
necessary efforts to repair their shattered fortunes
and develop the resources of our section. We
need large crops produced this year, and every
Southern man ought to exert himself to make
the ground produce as much possible. But
this cannot be accomplished if there is any danger
of confscation.
If the Southern people will keep quiet, and if
those who have been known prominent in the
war or the secession movement, will content them
selves to take back seats" in the reconstruction
programme, and not try TO control the Conven
tons and promote themselves. do not believe
there will be any further trouble the least
danger of conf>cation. If North Carolina sub
mits in good faith, and shows disposition to do
the best she under the circumstances. and
permits strife and bad feeling to be promoted
can almost confidently say that her people
will be exempt from confscation aud all further
trouble. Let get into the Union as
possible under the Reconstruction Law. and then
it is to be hoped shall have peace. security
and prosperity.
If those who have seized the offices in the
Southern States since the close of the will
retire, and agree to remain in private life
for few years. we need have fears about
fscation: but if strife and contention is continued
there is no telling what may be the result We
want office ourself, and could not hold one if
wanted it, but say let those who recog
nizcd by Congress loyal: carry on the work
of reconstruction, and let Us get our Representa-
tves into Congress soon as possible. We are i'll
bad scrape, and we must get out of it the best
way

70 The Raleigh Sentinel very justly denounces
the production styled the Life anu Campaign
of Gen. K. E. Lee by James d. McCabe, Jr.,
charge made by Pettigrew's Brigade at Gettys-
burg. We agree with the Sentinel that "better
and Drawer soldiers'' than those from North Caro-
lima .'never marched under martial banners.

There has been no history of the war yet pub
lishcd that has done anything like justice to the
North Carolina troops. aud we hope our people
will refuse to encourage patronize publications
that ignore lpurposely it seems) the gallant and
faithful services of North Carolina soldiers
North Carolina the backbone of the Confed
eracy, and though her people commenced the
contest with good deal of reluctance and mis-
eivngs. yet they stood by the cause to the last.
Her gallant men are certainly entitled to justice
in history.

THE Cur OF TEARs.-We find the following
legend told in Thorpe's Iuletice Tales 1t is too
beautiful to remainknown only to Antiquarans:
There was mother who loved her first child
with her whole heart. and thought she could not
live without it, but the Almighty sen, great
sickness among children which seized this little
one. who lay on sick bed even to death
Three DAYS and three nights the mother watched
and we2t and prayed by the side Of her darling
child, but it died The mother now alone in the
wide world, gave way to most violent and un-
speakable grief, she ate nothing and drank moth
ing, and wept, wept, wept three long days and
three long nights. This the mother did without
ceasing, calling constantly her child. The third
night AS she thus sat overcome with suffering, in
the place where her child had died, her eyes
bathed in tears, and faint from grief the door
softly opened and the mother started, for before
her stood her departed child. 1t had become a
heavenly argel, and sweetly as innocence and
was beautiful like the blessed. 1t had in its hand
a small cup that was almost running over, SO full
it was. And the child spoke
ooh dearest mother. weep no more for me-;
the angel Of mourning has collected in this little
cup the tears which you have shed for me. 1t
for me you shed but one tear more it will over
flow. shall have no more rest in the grave
and no Joy in heaven. Therefore. 0, dearest
mother weep no more for your child; for it Is
well and happy, and angels are its companions"
at then vanished. The mother shed no more
tears that she might not disturb her child's JOY
in Heaven"

DIFFICULTIES OF RICH MAN.-The great
millionaire, Geo. Peabody, who has been on visit
to the United States for some months past. being
about to leave for his adopted country, England
has caused the following card to be published in
the Boston Post:
MIR George Peabody, intending to leave
for Eng land, deems it duty due to himself to
inform all those who. during his visit of ten
months in his native country, have written to him
asking loans Of money, donations to literary in
situti"ns, subscriptions to churches, public char
tiles. &C., assistance for themselves or Others
that the great number of these communications
has rendered it impossible for him to read an
swer, ar even to open them in person. The latter
duty has, therefore, been assigned, confdentally
to Others. And as many of the writer's have g.
quested that their applications should be kept
secret. MIR Peabody would state that he has this
day caused these letters, amounting TO nearly
four thousand. to be burnt III his presence thus
relieving their apprehensions and his own respon-
sbilitY."

DEATH OF REV DIR JAMES PHILLIPS A
good man ''hss fallen in Israel" Dr. James
Phillips, for many years honored and most
useful Professor in our State University, is no
more. A correspondent writing us from Chapel
Hill, under date March 18th, 1867, says:
"The University has lost its oldest and best
known Professor. The Rev. DR. James Phillips,
Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy,
died suddenly this morning Thursday, March
18th. He had gone, notwithstanding the feeble
ness Of his health, to the College Chapel 10
order to conduct the regular morning religious
exercises, which precede the recitatious of the
day, and had taken his seat on the rostrum -
lie was accosted by one of the students, but
made no reply, and in few minutes fell sense
less to the floor. The physician was immediately
summoned, but by the time he reached him,
life had departed Thus died peacefully, with
out pain, and at his post, one of the truest and
noblest Of men.
Dr. Phillips was born in the County Of Essex,
England, on the 22d of April, 1892. He was
elected Professor in the University of North
Carolina 10 July, 1926, aad not long after vas
ordained ss Minister Of the Gospel in the Pres
byterisn Church, and continued up to the hour
of bis death in the diligent discharge of his
duties both of Professor and Pastor. "-Ratefgh

A New TIcKEr.-The New York Herald
has started new hobby. 1t impresses with
considerable force, upon the Southern people,
the necessity of heartily acquiescing in, and CO.
operating with. the action of Congress in the
work of reconstruction. 1t predicts speedy ad-
mission to Congress, and the most suspicious
results, generally, as certain to flow from such
course. 1t suggests to the Southern press, 10
order to show that they are in earnest, that they
would make decided hit by proclamng, as
their re union national ticket FOR 1868, the fol-
lowing: For President, General U. S. Grant !;
for Vice President, General r. E Lee. The
Herald adds: "The nomination of this ticket
in the South would operate SO powerfully upon
the Northern public mind, in behalf of gen
eral amnesty, that this Forseth Congress, by
o-thirds vote in each house, would proclaim
it, in order to ratify this Southern proposed
treaty of peace, harmony, fraternity and re- union
10 the names of Grant and Lee"
The New York Herald is so destitute of priu-
ciple and horror, that it cannot be trusted to
stand by its own recommendations.
