LETTER FROM NORTH CAROLINA
To the Editor of The Daily Ne,os

To the Editor of The Daily Ne,os
Wo1FEsv1LLE, UNION COUNTY, n c., July 25.-
Farmers in this county last year failed to raise
sufficient breadstuffs, and the past season has
been one of suffering among the poor whites as
well as blacks; but the present prospect fol
corn the ensueing fal is more gloomy than at the
same season of last year. The spring floods were
continued nearly three weeks later, leaving low
lands implanted or drowned out, and every kind
of crop in the grass. Since tho floods abated the
weather has been intensely hot and dry, the earth
is dry and hard, and vegetation is dying in the
field. Cotton is looking better than corn, but
most of that was injured by the rains and the
grass. The wheat crop was moderately good; but
without material and speedy change in the as
pect of affairs for the BETTER this section of
try is doomed to greater destitution and suffer-
ing than we have yet experienced.
The gold mines being worked in this county
give employment to considerable numbers who
could not otherwise survive tho pressure of
famine, but the high price of provisions,
them less profitable than formerly, especi-
ally as operatives cannot be secured without cor
responding rise in wages. Gold is not bread, how
and few are ha a.fh e4hdn to

am in position to know that our people were
all in favor Of reconstruction upon the basis of tho
Military Bill; but since the last meeting of Con-
gress they are at stand-stil and we now hear the
question repeated with increasing emphasis every
day, "Is there any use in doing anything ?" Surely
the men who express SO much sympathy for the
irishman, and are SO Mortified with Mexican cruel
ty, have forgotten that there are human beings at
the South, excepting OILY Africans. Are they not
madP But who and where is the physician to ad-
minister for the removal of their malady? w.

Cotton Prospects.

correspondent of the Louisville Journal writes
from New Orleans, after making trip down the
Mississippi, as follows:
In coming down the river I made it my special
business to obtain information in reference to the
crops and the freedmen, US we'll as the situation
generally, and the result is more favorable than
had anticipated. The corn crop was everywhere
represented as virtually secured, and 10 be mag
nifcent. There is single field o. this valuable
cereal in Bolivar county, Mississippi # 6000 acres
Cotton was looking we'll, but in SOM ocalities the
grass was growing and the rains sin must have
made it worse. The cotton crop depent OF course,
mitted on all hands that, should the W. yer prove
favorable, half crop, as compared wi that o
1860, will be made, which at present ORR IS like:
" to rule, will bring as much as whole p did
before the war. The hopes of the Southern 'ople
are suspended, so to speak, upon fair cotton
crop. AS the prospect for this grows bright OF
gloomy, SO will the hearts OF the tiers OF the sol
swell with exultation or sink into something akin
to despair. On some plantations that foe to the
CROP the worm has appeared and his ravages are
dreaded. The worm hourishes the most vigor.
ously in colo wet seasons.
AS we took in and landed passengers at nearly
every stoppn, place. had good opportunities to
converse with different classes Of persons from the
interior and almost without exception found them
cheerful and hopeful-more 80 than 1 expected
Little interest in politics seemed to be taken The
subject, in fact, was rarely introduced, unless
did it myself. To tho question, how do the freed
men work the answer generally was that they
were doing well-much better than last year. On
the plantations of the Messrs. Hampton-Wadt
have half the crop, the employers furnishing the
supplies at slight advance upon the origina
cost. This appears to be the rule generally
adopted.

Arrest for DfstillanR.

Captain Frank Arnim was recently arrested in
Hamburg, s. G., and brought before James Brnie,
ESQ.,, United States Commissioner at this place,
on charge of violation of the Internal Revenue
Laws in distilliug spirituous liquors without q
license at vinegar distillery near Hamburg.
After preliminary examination before the Com
missioner, an order was issued requiring the de-
fendant (Arnim) to give bond, with good sureties,
for his appearance at the next term Of the United
States District Court to be held in Greenyille He
was unable to do 80, and was committed to jail to
await his trial Messrs. Crump and Dawson, OF
the house of Crump, Dawson & Co., Of Augusta,
Ga, were also arrested on the same warrant, and
carried before the Commissioner at Augusta, when
they gave bond for their appearance at the same
term Of the GreenriNe Mountaineer.
From ihe Anderson InteNigencer
INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT LETTERING arc
indebted to his Excellency the Governor for the
annexed communication OF Commissioner Rollins,
in regard TO tho large number Of stills that were
seized by one Capt, Arnim, in Piokens District.
It will be seen that the instructions Of the Com
missioner to the Revenue Collector are not to be
be misunderstood, and those citizens not guilty of
infringing the law, who had their property forci-
bly, taken from them, may recover the same at
once. This valorous Captain Arnim, who created
such terror in our sister District by his vigorous
raids on. .defunct sthouses, has been very proper
ly removed from the service, and, We understand,
has found Judgment in the common Jail Of Green
vile District. If we are rightly informed, the
Captain ~ has boen imprisoned under warrant
from the civil authorities, and was placed in the
same cell with another officer, whom he had ar
rested for misconduct, after the predatory excur-
sions in tho Wolf Creek neighborhood. The ex-
official made some objections, but these scruples
were overcome. He has now an excellent opportu-
nifty of ruminating upon the instability of earthly
power, and can reflect ''how are the mighty
fallen!"

the following paragraph: can active volcano ap-
peared for the first time to us on the night of the

the sight being grand one, as, in the darkness of
the night, the lava was seen pouring in an appa-
rent cataract an unbroken sheet Of deep fery-red
molten liquid, for q depth of some hundreds of
feet, when it could be seen running of 10 the
right, round and down the. mountain, in cut in
the side Of the mountain, from which fssures here
and thete gave us an occasional glimpse of it. We
continued to see it the three following nights,
since which it has disappeared. On the first night
it appeared larger than on tho two last seen. On
the afternoon and night previous to its being
we had much rain, accompanied by continuous
heavy storm of wind from the mountain which
came in heavy gusts, with occasional light lulls OF
a few minutes between, and such furious and
long-continued storm was unknown here before "

MILL BURNT.-We regret to learn that the foul
mill Of Mr.. Jas. r. Massey, situate on the Catawbs
River, was destroyed by fire on the morning of tho
18th instant It is believed to have been the work
of an inceadiary. A considerable quantity Of grain
was also consumed. Estimated loss between five
and six thousand dollars.
We understand that it is the intention Of the
proprietor to rebuild it as soon as circumstances
will pormit.-Lancaste,' Ledger.
CoTToN BoLLs.-Our much esteemed friend
Col. B. S. JONES' near Clinton, forwarded To us,
some ten days ago, couple Of the largest cotton
bols wo have seen this season. To give an idea
Of their siZe will say that they were nearly as
large as guinea egg, and were almost at the
point Of opening.
We learn, with pleasure, that the Colonel has a
large and most promising growing crop Of cotton,
and intends to prove the fact that good cotton and
large yields still be raised in Laurens District,
standing; and that it is not necessary to desert in
too great haste our old red hills for those Of more
fertile, yet, perhaps, for less healthy regions of
the West.-Laurensudte Herald.
The CnoPs.-We have conversed with several
intelligent farmers from this district, and from all
quarters we have the same cheering accounts
that the corn and cotton are doing WELL The
prospect of an abundant harvest makes our sturdy
farmers cheerful and happy. After year Of des-
titution and want, nothing can add more to the re-
lief of our whole community than plentiful pro-
vision crop.-Ordngeburg Ne1s.
GOLD DIoGINa.-We learn that considerable OK
citement with regard to gold digging exists in the
neighborhood of the Little Mountain," about six
or seven miles below tho village, and the fever
seems to be extending fast through this commu-
nifty. Some very rich specimens Of gold ore have
been obtained from lands owned by Mrs. Will
son, Of Greenwood, and very thorough explorations
are now being mado into their mineral resources,
under the supervision Of Mr.. Cloud, an experienced
and competent metallurgist. The indications, we
learn, are encouraging, and, we trust, will reward
the explorists with abundant success. Nothing
could be more opportune than tho discovery OF a
rich gold mine in our District at this time and it
would give q new impetus to the development Of
our resources, agricultural, mineral and manufac-
turing.-AbbeuWe Press.
The Bennettsvillc Herald says that the Bacon
has arrived, and will be distributed TO those who
have been receiving Corn, on Monday, the 10Th.
The Commissioners state that parties must apply in
person, or they cannot obtain supply.
Mr.. Hiram Feaster, skillful farmer in the Mt.
Tabor neighborhood, sent to us some ten days
since two very fine stalks OF cotton over waist high
and well filled with squares, blooms and bolls.

TFoR TUE DAILY NEWS.

Mr.. Editor Il think you are entitled TO the
gratitude of every friend Of his country for tho
manly, CONSISTENT and straightforward manner In
which you have treated the vexed question OF re-
construction. That patriotism is cheap which
finds its reward in the ephemeral plaudits of the
unthinking multitude. But the man who, in the
hour of peril, boldly steps forward, submitting to
the SCOTS, the jeers the derision Of demagogues
and their abettors, anti in the face of public
opposition and private interest, prociaims his
views on questions that agitate the public mind
and vitally affect the public welfare of the SINGER
ty of which the clamor they excite is sufficient
guarantee, such one indeed deserves well Of the
Republic, and particularly in these times, when so
few found with the moral courage to breast the
surges of popular passion. These are times that
try mems minds, when the timid and time-serving
skulk into corners out Of public view, awaiting the
turn of the tide, which they hope will bear them
on to fortune; and the despairing make one last
desperate effort to regain their lost supremacy.
But in such crisis only men who can accommo-
date themselves to the altered condition Of
things, who live in the present, whose minds and
affections are not irrevocably welded to old
prejudices and past associations such arc
proper to be trusted with the leadership.
Let those who would perpetuate the servi-
tude of the white man rather than re-
linquish the domination of the black man,
least not endeavor by their example, their influ-
ence and their teachings to sway the minds OF
their fellow-citzens who are more practically dis
posed. They cannot meet the public expectations,
they cannot know the public wants, the require
ments Of tho tmes the lesson taught by the bitter
experience Of the last six years they have yet to
learn; they do not understand that new issues
have arisen, issues, too, on which we cannot
afford to be divided when every is expected to
dc his duty. They take their stand on the old
battle-ground and engage every foe, imaginary or
real, who crosses their path, and being deprived
Of the light Of past experience, which they ignore
they are totally incapable Of reading our future
In times of doubt and anxiety like the present,
the people look to the public press for guidance
and advice, and if while all the rest pander to tho
popular passions and foster the popular preju-
dices, there be found one with the honesty, the
integrity, the dsinterested patriotism, to place
before the people their true interests in their
proper light, one who has the moral courage to
show the people where they err, and endeavor to
set them right, unawed by power and unappallod
by fear, such q journal deserves and has right
to expect the support Of every honest man.

WRITER IN THE Memphis Bulletin thus speaks
of the sermon of our ancient friend DIR. T. 0. SUM-
MERs, at the Commencement Of the University OF
Mississippi, at Oxford: 'sThe Commencement ser
mon was preached by the Rov. DIR. SUMMERS, OF
Nashville, one OF the most accomplished pulpit
orators of the South, and among the most eminent
of her scholars. The subject was, The dignity
and necessity of labor and was taken from
verse in the Epistlc of ST. PAUL to TITUS. 1t
was very ably and elaborately discussed, and
Theology, Philosophy and Poetry exhausted in its
expositional Illustration. The field of Theology
was swept from ST. PAUL to BEAoHER-of Philoso-
ply, from SOCRATES to HAMILToN-of Poetry, from
HOMER to LoNGFELLow, and the gems of earth
and all scattered in munifcent profusion, and with
dazzling effect. The display of erudtion was sp-
palling to the most of us, and we could but wish
for the presence of Edna Earl and her husband st.
Elmo Murray, to enjoy the rich feast with us, and
to talk with them about it afterwards. But, as it
vas, we were oil profoundly impressed with the
speaker and the subject"
