From our own Correspondent.
RALEIGH, December H.
The condition of the country, as repre-
sented by your several correspondents in
Alabama, Mississippi, and the other Gulf
States, is in accordance with my observa-
tion and experience in this State. A wide
spread gloom and dependency, like the
pail of night, hangs over the people. Two
years Of Radical tyranny and negro domin-
ion has done far more to disorganize society
and render men Indifferent to the present.
and reckless of the future than the five long
years of their unsuccessful warfare. The
failure Of the cotton crops and the great
decline in cotton has also brought pecu-
MARY embarrassment, if not ruiz, on nine
tenths of the planters. There is no emil
grafton to the South. Real estate cannot
be sold for half Of its value. Trade and
commerce are almost entirely suspended
y
merchants must not calculate on prompt
remittances for goods already bought, or a
revival of trade in the spring. 1t will re-
Quire more than one season of abundant
''seed time and harvest" to repair the
waste places of the farmer. Nor is this
all of this sad but truthful picture, for
go where you will, you encounter hundreds
of lazy, lawless, vagabond negroes wan
dering about, ostensibly in quest Of work.
but in reality seeking whom and what
they can devour. Daily reports come
from all quarters telling of their robberies,
arson, and sometimes murders; nor is
there any Ito modest or make them afraid
of heir deeds of darkness and blood,
for their "I;. L." masters whisper into
their willing ears the Radical morality of
plundering, and if needs be, numbering
their rebel oppressors, while the f. B.
without the trouble of investigation, often
defend and encourage them in their dia
bolic acts While your correspondent
could enumerate many cases in support of
the above charge, he will only cite one,
vouching for its correctness. A few weeks
ago William Il. Pool, Esq, one of the most
respectable citizens of this county, had his
cotton gin, with his cotton crop, burned by
some sable desperadOcs Soon after twelve
or fifteen of his fattened hogs mysteriously
disappeared, and still more recently several
of his already reduced stock Of hogs ''came
up missing" Provoked and exasperated
by these repeated depredations, he called
on several of his ncighbors to aid him in
ferreting out if possible the guilty parties,
and, accompanied by civil magistrate,
they soon discovered where one or more Of
his hogs had been slaughtered. Following
the trail of footprints and traces of blood,

son, known by the name Of Albert Hin
ton the cabin was searched and por-
tions of a newly killed hog were found
concealed il the old woman's bed
She stated to the mug strate that her son
brought it home night Or two previous !;
he stated that he had purchased it from a
wagon on the public highway-but there
being other abundant proof to Justify his
guilt, he was indicted for hogstealing The
next day, however, the negro fastened to
this city and preferred charges against Mr..
Pool before the Pureau, when the follow
ing insulting order was Immediately Issued
and duly served on Mr.. Pool:
