MEssRs. EDITORS. 1t is true that every

viewed. 1t is true, also that, to most
of us, the present dime seems more de-
sirable than the prospective dollar.
would take your readers to posi-
tion from which they can view their
own prosperity, which certainly would
result, would they concentrate all their
aid and influence towards making Nor
folk q great city,
Suppose Norfolk was a New York of
a place, the farms of every planter in
Eastern Carolina would be increased
in value several times The lands
would be too valuable to plant cotton
in, but would be the very gardens of
the great Southern city.
Every farmer in this entire section
knows he is paying ruinous hire for
laborers, VIII ch are extremely trouble
some to control, while the tide of i'm
migration to our great Southern city
would Insure good laborers, for hire
which is Insignificant to that paid here
now.
And, observe if you will, the great
number of our young men who are
needing epplo7 7ment, learning habits
of idleness and dissipation. This
would not be the case il all our people
would resolve to build up great city
and great market at Norfolk, for all
could get employment in mercantile
houses Of different kinds
Viii you never cease this vassallage
to New York :! Let 1t not be said it is
a necessity, owing to the capacity Of
Southern capitalists to assist those of
US who need aid, for we promise you
that the merchants of Norfolk can get
more money from Liverpool capitalists
to aidyou in your agricultural pursuits,
than New \ Iork has or ever will offer,
and at much lower rate of interest.
Then the farmer will sell his cotton
in Europe, and grow rich himself, ra-
ther than sell it in New \ 1ork to Fifth
Avenue nobobs who have grown rich
by shipping thithcr.
The shipments made to Liverpool
this year, are, by no means, criterion,
for constantly declining market has
made them show not so we'll, but when
these spasmodic fluctuations Of thaeet-
ton market are no more, shippers will
certainly save FIVE to ten per cent.
These are no: utopian ideas, but
such, as proper action on the part of
IL, shall frame most happy reality.
Then we hope our farmer friends
will sell their produce in Norfolk, and
our merchant friends buy their goods
there.
With best wishes for all | am
Yours truly,

Circular to Government OMria!s.

The following circular, addressed
to all district attorneys and marshals
of the United States, and to all depu-
ties, and to all persons holding any
official relation to the Attorney Gen
erals office in accordance with the re-
tent Executive order addressed to
heads of departments:
-1norney Generals Office September
10, 1867. Sir:-I herewith furnish
you with an official copy of the pro-
clamation of the President of the Uni
ted States, dated the Sd inst, and in
the nirety-second year of American
independence.
This proclamation rccites in brief
the obligations Of loyalty to the pub>
lie and was intended to admouish you,
in common with all persons holding
any P lace Of honor, trust or profit,
civil or military, at home or abroad,
under the United States Of America,
aud all good citizens thereof, that the
Constitution of their country is in
force. and that the government there
under, with it's several coordinate
branches, Legislative, executive and
judicial, is the only lawful government
for this republic. Notwithstanding that
many wellmeaning citizens have, in
consequence of disturbing events that
are now happily past, come to look
with the indulgence upon false and
dangerous pretences that the consttu
tion is not the supreme law of the land,
and also the most authentic proof Of
the will Of the people, but that there
arc powers of government outside Of
the constitution which may lawfully
violate that instrument and the laws
made in pursuance oft.
All citizens of the United States owe
allegiance to that nationality, as the
same is embodied and organized in the
constitution and such amendments
thereof as, having become cxpedient
in the progress of the country, have
been duly made and ratified. But in
special manner all the persons hold
ing office under the United States are
solemniy sworn TO support that constl-
| tuition, also to bear true faith and
allegiance to the same, and to the gov>
ernment Hereunder; and for the grea,
ter number of such incumbents at this
time, it is known that they have been
retained, or have been placed ir their
respective Offices, upon express assuran-
ces of Jealous loyalty to the Union,
which is taken by all men to mean a
cheerful obedience to the proper civil
authority of the country. But for the
functions of your office, which are
directly connected with the enforce
ment Of the laws, lively sense CT their
sanctity aud authority is anticipated.
You are requested to acknowledge
the receipt of this communication.
Very respectfully,
Your obedicnt servant,
JoHN NJ. BINCKLEY,
Acting Attorney General.

chickering's and bitterness be forgotten,
We arc North Carolinians, and the
sold North State" the cherished mo-
ther Of us all, is in pcrI-the danger
threatens us of having her character
tarnished by ignorant and corrupt mis-
rule ;-abovc all self preservation calls
loudly for action, and shall we hesitate?
We would not dare to attempt dicta-
tion to those wiser and more expert
enced than ourselves, but We venture
to suggest that primary meetings be
called at once in Edgccombe and the
adjoining counties, to consult, organize
and act. Let the constitutional Union
party be formed without delay, embra
cling all opposed to Radical rule; send
to the State convention our best and
wisest men, to prepare fundamental
law in which the highest interests of
ourselves and posterity are inyolv-
cd.
The elections have been ordered in
November, and consequently but lit
tie time is left to properly organize and
prepare; we therefore repeat our sug-
gestion that primary meetings be im-
mediately called in Edgecombe and
the good work commenced.
And now a word to our colored
population; your interests are identi-
cal with the interests Of the whites.
If prosperity should again be vouch-
safed to us, you will share largely in
that prosperity. Your wages are now
greatly diminished by the onerous taxi
es upon cotton and other Southern
productions, imposed by the party IN
power. IF business continues paralyz-
ed and the energies of the whites re-
main fettered BY oppressive laws, upon
you will fall in a great degree the la
mentabe consequences Of such unwise
legislation. You know you are not
qualified to direct or control public at
fairs. You are therefore liable to be
misled by bad and designing men, who
urge you to vote unanimously to suit
their political aspirations. Ask coun-
sci Of those in whose judgment and
honesty you have confidence, and aban-
don the midnight leagues, which may
lead you to ruin.

No citizen Of the. country, with more
sorrow than myself, beheld the attemp-

than myself at the humiliation Of that
Flag by the mad men who approached

hands: No man afterwards, through
out the entire conclusion Of arms, had
less hope of Southern success, less cqn-
6dence in any blessings which were ex>
pected to flow from it, or less claim,
in his conscience, for Divine interposi-
tion, than l had. The disappearance
of the National Flag brought long
and dismal night to me. Through~

In very short time, the cotton
picking season in North Carolina will
have fairly begun.
We deem this a fitting time to Of
fer a few remarks of caution and ad-
vice to our planting friends, touching
the manner of preparing their pros
duce for market. We have referred
to this subject before, and having late
ly spent considerable time among ca
perienced cotton factors and mauufac-
turers, we are in position to tender
advice which, if needed, must rebound
greatly to the benefit OF the cotton far
mers of Ncrth Carolina generally.
1t is an established fact among far
mers that too much care and labor is
never bestowed on produce in its pre-
paration for market, and no labor is so
directly remuncrative, as that bestowed
on cotton in picking out and gin
ming.
High grades Of cotton are always
salcable, and never a drug on the mar
ket, while inferior grades frequently
remain on hand at an expense to the
producer, and annoyance to the factor,
or commission merchant. 1t should be
remembered that the enhanced value Of
the article causes the manufacturer to
look closely to the ginning cleanliness
and uniformity of tie article, and a
prudent man of business Will neither
waste his time in working up staple
that is not only inferior in quality, but
highly injurious to his machinery by
reason Of the sand and dirt it too fre-
quently contains.
Much of the North Carolina cotton
sent to market the past season was Of
quality, in consequence of the want
of care had in picking and ginning, TO
cause buyers to inspect with unusual
caution and suspicion, and the result
growing out Of this fact is one highly
injurious to North Carolina produc-
tions in all the markets of the world.
These facts have been impressivcly
presented to US, by many Of the lead
ing cotton dealers, whose business re-
lations have continued with this imme-
diate section of country for many years
past. Some of these have expressed
the most serious apprehensious in re-
gard to the satisfactory disposition Of
the coming crop, unless unusual pre-
cautions are observed in it's prcpara-
ton.
The first care with the planter should
therefore be, to see that his crop is ga.
thcred as free from sand and leaf as
possible. Then such machinery should
be used in giuning as will most ehec>
tually clean out the seed and notes
without cutting and damaging the sta-
pie. Many Of the cotton gins now in
use are totally unfit for any purpose
whatever, and in many instances the
planter would consult his interest by
selling his crop in the seed rather than
run it through such machines. Quite
a number of superior cotton gins,
adapted to the present wants Of the
country, and constructed on the most
scientific principles, are now before tbs
public, and every farmer should at least
satisfy himself Of their respective mer-
its, and if found to be satisfactory, ne
one should hesitate to avail himself O
the advantages thereof.

Wendell Phillips has expressed his
belief that impeachment will follow
Immediately ON the re-assembling of

course if he were not prepared and de-

WASHINGTON DisTRIcr.-On last Mon
day afternoon, quite an excitement pre-
vailed in the mining camp known as
Washington City, about twenty-five
miles from Aurora. A correspondent,
&c. c. W writes US the particulars,
which we here append, his letter bear
ing date May 9Th;
1.-THE whole camp has been in an up
roar all this afternoon about a shooting
scrape which took place about n
O'Clock. The circumstances are about
as follows: Two parties, it seems, had
claimed adversely the Sea Fowl lode,
for some time past. To-day one Of the
parties (oue mani will not mention
any names-went on the ground TO
work, taking with him his pick and
shovel, double-barrel shotgun, revolver,
bowieknife, etc. He had not been 1t
work long before one Of his adverSarieS
came s,roling along with one of Henry's
sixteen-Shooters OF his shoulder. Like
two bulldogs, their eyes had no sooner
met than the scrape 'commenced.' The
si1teen-shooter was fired three or four
times without effect. But not so with
the shotgun; for that was fired only
once, and some two or three buck-shot
struck the adversary in the face and
neck; but as he was so far off, but little
damage was done. The man, imme-
dia,ely after being wounded, retreated
down the hill; but being reinforced, a
charge was made. and possession easily
o~btained-for Shotgun ''smelt Il mice,
and left for the woods. Tonight, how
ever, he took supper with us at Hotel
de Burklin." understand the Sheriff
has been sent for, at Aurora, to arrest
the whole party. Law and order must
prevail
HRLLsR LAST SIeHr.-This celebrated
Magician and Musician gave one of bis
truly mysterious and astonishing per-
fosmances a, the Gold Hill Theatre last
night, in presence of large audience,
which seemed highly pleased and graft
fed. This and tomorrow evenings he
will perform at Csrson City. On the
Goth of this month, he will commence
an engagement with Clawson Il Cain, Of
the Sal, Lake Theatre, where We PEE
sumo he will have = full and successful
run as long as be will play for the Nor
mons. The Saints will find Heller
ahead of anything of the kind they ever
saw or heard Of. After his trip to Salt
Lake, he will return TO this State, and
fill his second engagement with Max
Walter.
