and shoulder; by a pistol in the hands
of Mr.. Bogardus' boy. The pistol was
loaded with squirrel and a greater
portion Of the discharge passed by the
boy instead of into him. DR., Phillips
was called in, but the shot were so com
pletely imbedded in the side Of the boys
face that little relief could be obtained

The Reconstruction Movement.

The Reconstruction movement under the
auspices OF the loyal members of the Legis-
lature of this State, is exciting much atten-
ton. The Richmond presses refer to it at
some length, and the presses of this State
exhibit feeling in relation to it. Those presses
that follow the Sentinel are hostile to the
movement, but we are glad to perceive that
some of the papers heretofore considered
Southern rights in their tone are disposed
to encourage the movement as the best thing
the State can do. 1t affords us much pleas
ure to copy the following from the last Char
lotte Guardian:
sour thinking men should act in the pre-
misses. No matter what may have been our
political opinions-no matter what course we
have pursued prior to this day-there is but
one path for us now to follow-chalked out
| plain-and we would be acting the part of
extreme folly not to go in it. We would be
more explicit, and we intend to be in future
numbers of the Guardian. We feel that we
have the interest of our people at heart, and
no matter what may be the opinions of 9TH
ers, we intend to act as it best behooves a
conquered subject We intend to lend our
aid, and what little influence we may pos
sess, for the furtherance of the interests of
our people, and we look at this proposed
meeting as the prime lever to promote that
interest. Others may not see it as we do
but if they do not they are blinded by their
old prejudices. Let US stay contiscation,
and the way to do it is to act with these loyal
men. Let us appoint auxiliaries-let meet
ings be held and delegates sent to this meet
ing who will act ha1moniously- and let these
men be our prominent citizens. Our short
space forbids our saying more in this issue,
but we will resume the subject again"
This is substantially the position occupied
for some time past by the Charlotte Demo-
erat, which urged the people last fall to &C
cept the Howard amendment.
A writer in the Charlotte Times, over the
signature of j. T. H., (most probably John
F. Hoke) gives it as his opinion that the
people ought at once to accept the recon-
struction act. We have already heard from
a number of leading friends since the call for
the meeting of the 9th was published, and
they all approve the movement in the warm
est terms.
The colored people are preparing to act
with the loyal Union men in the movement.
They will have representatives here on the
27th, to unite with their white friends in
the work of reconstruction. The whole
loyal people of the State will keep even
step" in this work, to " the music of the
Union.n

What isthis for? Several gentlemen were
sent to Washington recently to protest against
the Oppressive and cfensire collection of
the land tax in this State" We havenot heard
what progress they made, though it seems
that. incidentally, they got up reconstruc-
ton bill which fell through, and has passed
already from public recollection.
tits reported that His Excellency," with
Gov. Swain and Mr.. Barringer, has gone to
Washington to urge Congress to reduce the
tax on whisky. We have no particular in
terest in this tax, but those of our people
who manufacture the raw article of whisky
will wish them much success in their mission.

The New York Tribune, under the head o

The New York Tribune, under the head OF
Echoes from tine Rebel States" quotes from
a number of Southern newspapers, and
adds: "With scarcely an exception the
Southern journals declare the new law an
act of tyranny, and, with equal approach te
unanimity, hold the plan of reconstruction
to be worse than military rule" The Tri
6une will please make the following excep
tions to the above in this State: The Ruth
erforiton Star, the Henderson Pioneer
the Union Register, the Salem Observer
and the Raleigh Standard. These papers
are friendly to the Sherman reconstruction
act. The Charlotte Democrat and the
Charlotte Guardian, Southern rights pa
pers, also advise that the Southern people
accept the act.
We beg the Tribune to believe that there
are not as many rebels as it supposes, in al
least one Southern State.

In justice to Mr.. Boner, the editor of the
Salem Observer, We state that the Sentinel of
this City has given by no means correct &C
count of the difficulty between himself and
Mr.. Matthes of the Winston paper.
Mr.. Matthes challenged Mr.. B. to fight
duel. He accepted on the following terms:
weapons, double barrel shot-guns; distance,
two PAGES; place of meeting, over the Vir
ginia line. Here Mr.. Matthes dropped the
matter, and Mr.. B. had heard nothing more
from him up to the 18th inst.
While we entirely disapprove the practice
of duelling, nevertheless as a matter of SIM
pie truth we make the above statement.

NEWBEKN, UI11,
"I think we have good cause to congratu-
late ourselves upon the successful passage of
the late Reconstruction Bill by Congress-
BY that bill we are now enabled to reconstruct
our State upon the enduring principles of
UNION, JUSTICE, and EQUALITY. But
great many of the voters of our State, our
federal relations would have been amicably
adjusted long ago. hope and trust that all
true lovers of our country will not allow the
present golden opportunity to pass without
an effort to. carry out the objects of the Re-
construction bill. Let US organize.
The course you have pursued in sustaining
the policy of Congress has been, and is now
approved by all true Union men, both white
and colored,"-

CATAwBA STATION, March o, IoOI.
"The late action of Congress is received
"with great JOY" by the "unmistakabiy
loyal" citizens of this community. The only
regret is, that they have delayed acting so
long, and that they have been too lenient IN
their actions, but we are thankful for par
tial deliverance, and will hail with joy the
time when we shall be delivered in full from
rebel rapacity. The Union sentiment IS
gaining ground very fast in this section, and
the rebel" sentiment is beginning to be less
inimical toward the Union and loyal men
than it was some months ago."

VIRG1N1A.-The Legislature and people OF
Virginia are greatly excited by the PROPOSE
ton to call Convention by the Legislature,
to accept the terms of the Sherman act
The Senate has voted "A to 4 to call Con-

the House will hesitate. All the Richmond
papers but the Enquirer favor the call. That
paper opposes it with great vehemence.

Ertracts from the ADDRESS Of W. W. HOLDEN
to the people of North Carolina, September
2OM, 1866:
The Union of the States must be restor-
ed at all hazards and on the best terms that
can be obtained, and the plan of the Presi-
dent having failed through the treachery
and selfishness of secession politicians. what
now remains to be done?
There are but two plans before the COIN
try-the Executive plan, and that of the
Congress or law-making power. The Presi.
dents plan provides, first, that the States
exist as States, though by rebellion thew had
lost their governments secondly, that sla-
very must be formally abolished by an
amendment to the federal Constitution .
thirdly, that the right of secession must he
abandoned; tourthly, that the rebel debt
must be repudiated, and, as a matter of
course, the national debt must be Maid !.
filthy, that loyal persons only should reor,
ganize governments for the States. and that
no members elect to Congress from the
southern States should be presented for adj
mission, who cannot take the test-oath,
=, This is the Presidents plan. What is the
Congressional plan 1t is as follows, in the
shape OF joint resolution, proposing amend
menus to the federal Constitution:
ARTICLE Ia.
A., SECTION l. All persons born or naturalize1 ;r
therens states, and subject to the jurisdiction

tOber last, he said:
Many years ago moved in the Legislature of
tennessee that the apportionment of representa-.
tivcs to Congress from that State should be by
qualified voters. The apportionmcnt is now fixed
until 1879; before that time we might change the
basis of representation from population to 1uali-
fled voters, North rs well as South, and in due
course Of time the States, without regard to color,
might extend the elective franchise to all who
possessed certain mental, moral or such other
qualifications as might be determined by an en-
lightened public judgment"
MIR. johnson is, therefore, not only in fay
or OF this provision of the amendment bas-
ing members of Congress on qualified voters,
but he looks forward to the period when the
States will establish what is called impair
tial suffrage.
The proposed amendment also provides
that certain persons who had taken an oath
to support the Constitution of the United
States, and afterwards engaged in the rebel
lion, shall not hold any office, civil or mill
tary, under the United States, or under any
State, unless the Congress by vote of two
thirds shall remove such disability.
What sound objection can there be to this 2
Ii 1t be said that it is harsh and degrading
IN Its nature, reply that President johnson
has already gone much further in making
treason odious than this provision goes. He
excluded from his amnesty proclamation not
less than twenty-five thousand persons He
not only deprived them, at his mere will and
pleasure, OF the right to hold office, but of
the right to vote; and he held them as
he holds some of them to-day, not only
as non-voters, but liable at any moment
to the pains and penalties of treason. This
proposed amendment deprives no man of
his right of suffrage. 1t simply says to the
iomenters and leaders of the rebellion-Your
lives and property are spared; you are not
permitted to vote,as heretofore you will not
We nio,ested In your ordinary rights rs citi-
zens; but you will not be permitted lust now
