Compromise made for a Considerati ON
and an Order Revoked.

Messrs John G. & T. A. Wright, father
and son, residents of Cumberland county,
had difficulty with one Captain John Fry,
during which the latter was shot and
wounded by the Messrs. Wright who were
subsequently arraigned before the Courts
and fined. Not being content with this
action of the Courts, Captain Fry, short
time since, caused an order to be issued
from General Sickles, for the appre-
hension of the Wrights and their
arraignment before Military Court
The matter was, subsequently compro-
missed, however, by the Wrights paying to
Captain Fry the sum Of $1,000, who then
used his influence to have the order for the
trial before a Military Court revoked. This
order was received a few days since, and the
matter is now settled, much to the advan-
tage of Captain Fry--pecuniarily, but in
no other particular

Artificial Fertilizers,

The use of this kind OF manure has grown
so rapidly within short time as to threaten
the more material interest of the farmer
with injury. do not disapprove of the
use Of them as auxiliaries and under pro-
per conditions, but do believe that the
practice of dosing land repeatedly with
these powerful stimulants, has tendency
to injure it permanently. Some writer in
your paper few weeks back, was regret
ting the impossibility of farmers Analysing
their own soils, and being thereby able to
select Just what his soil needed, with even
more accu racy than doctor would tell his
patient what medicines and what diet
would give him strength. This would SIM
plify matters wonderfully but the fact u.s.
that all this knowledge is unnecessary !;
and for the best interest of the farmer the
fertilizers are equally SO.
Practically all the soil of this region of
North Carolina is of the same chemical
composition. 1t is all deficient in one ele-
ment which is essential to productiveness,
and that element is lime. If we supply
this, the soil is permanently improved with
proper culture. Biologists have long no.
ticed the difference in the two sections
which they have named respectively the
mountain and tidewater districts, and they
find their dividing line at the rocky falls
in the rivers. The region above presents
throughout features of uniformity, but
differing from the region below. There
we find broken country, hills increasing
in height till we reach the mountains. The
growth is of such trees as yield the great
est amount of potash, oak, hickory, dog
wood, &c The soil is greatly mixed with
rock.
This land is generally more fertile than
ours, for the reason that from the gradual
disintegration of the rocks, all containing
certain per cent. of lime, through the
supplied to the soil. The soil of the lower
region is altogether different. Here there
is no rock of any consequence. The soil is
sandy, the face of the country level, and
the growth almost entirely Of pine. Ih1s
soil is acid Whoever will taste the pine
leaf will readily test its acid quality. A
| thousand cords Of pine wood will not yield
as many grains of potash. This is true OF
the gum, bay, laurel and sasafras. See the
great fertility of localities where there is
an outcropping of mari as at Rocky Point,
| in this county. Lime IS no manure. All
| that can be hoped from its use is to correct
the acid of the soil and allow the natur-
al strength to be applied to the production
of valuable crops. And if this can be done,
where under the sun is there finer soil
Certainly, if we can control the pine pro
ducing power and direct it to the produc-
ton OF profitable crops, we have the very
best of land. [ have much that l would
like to communicate on this subject, but
have already extended this paper too long.
If this meets your approval, more anon:

Editors Journal: I desire, through your
paper, to call the attention of farmers to a
very great loss they sustain in the manner
of applying cotton seed as a manure, and
to suggest different mode. A large per
cent. of the seed, whether composted or ap-
piled directly to the soil, terminate. This
consumes the oil for which the seed is
mainly valuable. I believe, too, that the
seed lose much of their value, when they
do not terminate, by the heating caused
by fermentation. Whatever will kill the
seed, whether cold or heat, must destroy
much of its oily and moro volatile parts
L would suggest, as a remedy, that the seed
be ground or beat, and applied to the
ground at planting time. The 6 little
giants" as the corn and cob crushers are
called, would be an excellent machine for
the purpose. One of these would grind
for neighborhood. When this was I'M
practicable would try mortar and pestle.

The total number registered at this pre-

which III were whites, and 1877 blacks,
showing a majority for the blacks of 26.
am pleased to state that the apathy
which has been noticed by the press as ex-
listing elsewhere, does not prevail in our
town. There seems to be a general deter
mination on the part of the whites to ex-
ercise their right Of registration, IN order
to place themselves in a condition to vote
This being the opening Of Court week,
the board will hold their sittings in the
Wardens room at the Court House on to-
day and tomorrow, for the registration of
voters from any Of the precincts on the
north side of the Neuse.
Prior to Gen Sickles' telegram to Gov.
Worth, our County Court had concluded
to continue all jury cases and transact on

planted is extensive. From present ap-
