rebellion success, and having opposed
every measure calculated to subdue said

won and the Country saved, and joins
hands with the rebel soldiers, leads them
up to the ballot box and demands that

soldier kick and cuff and tells him
to begone. Gives place and position to
traitors. Cheers JEFF Davis and Wilkes
Booth, and kicks all the noble Heroes
like Sheridan out of place. Truly the
Democratic party is the party of treason

it.
Again, the Herald assumes TO change
the name of our candidate for Supreme
Judge and calls Henry w. Williams
Thomas Williams who was for the repu.
diation of some r. r. Bonds-this is
small business but asst happens, no
person can be slandered by calling him

of jeff. Davis will come to the rescue in
the event Of reconstruction. Shame on
that "gross assumption" that will among

fanny and has no hope Of resurrection
save in the Cohorts of treason.

WORMS AMONG THE CoTToN-WHoLE
ACRES DAMAGED.-We regret to learn that
the cotton crop in this immediate section
has recently been much damaged by the
depredations of worms, and the anticipated
yield largely diminished thereby. In the
vicinity Of Fleets, just beyond Campbells
bridge, some six or eight acres Of Mr.. John
Robcrtson's crop have been very seriously
injured, and over at Roslin, we learn the
destruction has been ten-fold greater. We
hear also of similar complaints from the
propretors of other plantations who arc
cultivating cotton. The worms, which
vary in length from one to two inches,
have appeared in myriads, and devour
everything green that stands in their path.
They sweep the cotton plant clear of its
leaves and young balls, eat grass and
shrubbery, and even attack trees. 1t is
estimated that the yield Of cotton will be
lessened fully one-third, if not more,
wherever they appear.-Petersburg lnder

MR.. PESDLEToN on REpup1Ar1oS.-Tbe
Democrats Of Cleveland, Ohio. having
serenaded Messrs. George II. Pendleton
and George E. Pugh at a hotel in that citv
On inc evening Of the 18th instant, Mr.
Iendleton, in his response, took occasion
10 explain his position in relation to the
payment of the ive-twenty bonds. He
said:
Let me state to 20. the position. We
nave an enormous debt. We have rate of
taxation beyond all example oppressive,
we nave a system Of lcgal-tender notes
auo system Of national banks. am
sorry we nave seen them. I did not vote
1or 'nsm, and am not responsible fos them.
my are great evils. They ought to be
GOTTEN rid Of. And # they present any
means of assisting US in getting rid of
then' We ought to seize it. The non-inte-
rest Paying debt, consisting of greenback
and nnliquidated debt, amounts to about
SSOO,oO0,000. The proposition Of the Re-
publicans is to convert This debt into
bonds which pay interest in gold. The in
! terest on those bonds will be S4S, 600, 900 in
gold annually. The result will be toincrease
by that amount the expenses, to convert
active capital into inactive capital, and
| thus to increase the number of those who
40 not pay taxes, and to increase the bur-
dens of those who do pay taxes. I mai
tain that this DEBT ought not to be so con-
verified: that these $4,000, 900 in gold
should be saved. There are four hundred
millions oil these bonds in the Treasury as
security for the national bank currency.
! They are represented by nearly equal
amount of bank notes. They call for
s24 100000 in gold annually as interest.
| Now, maintain that these bonds should
| be redeemed in greenbacks. The result
would be that greenbacks would take the
place of the bank notes, which would be
| called in, and that S24, 600 COO of interest
would be saved. # that S24, 900, 900 were
added 10 The S4S, 100000 of which I have
spoken, you have $72,000,0o0 in gold
annually; and this. properly compounded,
would pay the whole debt, principal and
interest, in fifteen years.
"And now observe that thus far have not
proposed to add one dollar to your taxes,
nor one dollar to the currency. This pro-
cess of redemption can be pressed as fast
as the business and values of the country
will bear an expansion Of the currency. /
am satisfied that they can bear more now.
l am satisfied that the good to result will
more than compensate for the evils. How
far the expansion may be safely carried, !
cannot pretend with cxactness to say
All that / maintain is this: That Just as
rapidly as the prosperous condition of the
business will permit it, the bonds should
+ be redeemed in greenbacks; for Just Sc
fast will the interest be paid, the taxes be
reduced, and labor be relieved from the
burdens which now SO heavily Cypress it,

alleged, would be on the day after her ar.

tier the lady nor gentleman appearing at
the hotel, the girl manifested such un-
ra,ucSs as to induce Mr.. Kennedy to
make inquiries concerning Mr.. Solomon
Word was communicated to the latter
concerning the situation of the case. and
be al once came on to learn the sad truth
Of the dark suspicious that had been sci

aud Mrs. Solomon came across to the
Junction, but instead Of taking the South

Danviiie train and went to Greensboro,
