Sunday Morning. June %. 1861,
Free Farms.

Our readers are aware that the last
Congress psssed homestead law,
appropriating Government lands in
the Southern States, that might be
Conferred" by actual settlers, In
North Alabama, the Government
owns large quantity of land in the
coal and mineral regions, and We
learn from the Huntsville Adrocate,
that the Land Office in tina city is
doing large business. In the months
of April and May, 545 farms were
entered.
What is matter of surprise to us
is, that out of this large number of
entries only eight have been made
by freedmen. There are still some
ofthe richest bottom lands of the
Black Warrior and Coosa Rivers re-
manning unsettled, and subject to
entry. There is no doubt but that
the homestead law was passed for the
pecular dement, OF the freedmen, and
it is extraordinary that, while claim
ing other rights and privileges con-
ferred upon them by the legislation
of Congress, they do not avail them
selves of this truly valuable boon,
which would secure to them perma-
nent and comfortable homes, with
lands sufficient to secure them an in
dependentsupport, and a competency
for themselves and families. Would
it not be well for some Of them to
take this matter into consideration,
and Investigate the facilities for avail
ing themselves of the privileges ac-
corded to them. ~

KINGS MOUNTAIN RAILROAD. We
are pleased to learn from the York
vile Enquirer that this branch rail-
road from Chester to Yorkville,
which had been destroyed during the
war, is reconstructed to within two
miles OF the latter place. The engine
belonging to the road having been
also badly damaged, was sent to this
city for rebuilding. The work has
been thoroughly completed, under
the supervision of that excellent ma
chinist, Mr.. r. Tozer, on the pre-
misses of the Charlotte Railroad, in
this city. The engine looks as good
rs new, and several days trial on the
track in this vicinity proved that she
was all right, and accordingly she was
sent on her way rejoicing to her
sphere of action, on Thursday morn

UPHILL BUSINESS. ss.-One of the
slowest, and hardest, and most un-
necessary jobs ever undertaken, is
for man to build up successful
business without advertising. Fifty
or hundred years ago it was easier,
because there was less competition,
and the facilities for getting adver-
tiseEents before the public were not
so good; but in the jostle of modern
competition, those who sit down and
wait for customers are almost sure
not to get many of them, while by
iudicious advertising man may, in
six weeks, make his name and bust
ness as familiar to the public as those
of his competitors of twenty years
standing. eit .-t

AS the war of the rebellion was in
augurated by rush of Congressman
to picnic in the advance lines and to
have personal peep at the "situa-
tion," SO the Indian war has been
ushered in by the visit of what a
telegram calls "Hon. Ben. Wade's
Senatorial party" to the plains. 1t
was once great chance for Congri ,s-
men to get sight at "the rebs," so
it is now, apparently, as great Gu
riosity to secure view of "the reds. "

pENGfdsH STATEsaASsHIP. The Fee
nian leaders are not to be hanged;
the Irish grievances are not to be
femedied, and the habeds cojpiis is TO
remain suspended in, Ireland. That
is the substance Of the ministerial
announcements to Parliament regard
ing Ireland.
Burke would have been executed,
says Lord Derby, but that public
opinion in England does not favor
this measure. The thoughtful part
of the English people recognize the
fact of English misgovernment and
oppression in ireland, as in some
degree palliating the crime of the
insurrection. So far, conscience
makes towards of them. But, as for
remedying the abuses from which
Ireland suffers, that is another mat
ter, and one apparently beyond Bri-
tish craftsmanship.
So they hold Ireland by the strong
arm-by "main strength and stupid
ness, as they say at sea. The re-
proach of British craftsmanship is,
that after 700 years of continuous
rule, they have been able to make of
the Irish nothing but enemies, so
that, at this late day, they fall back
upon the military rule as their only
means of keeping the peace, precisely
as it was in the days of Henry VII
and Oliver Cromwell.
With all the capabilities of that
Green Isle for being made paradise,
seven centuries of British rule have
left it what it is, and English states
manship does not know how to make
it any better. .-Ne,o York Post
