ever stained the annals of North Carolina and
is directly traceable to the influence of our

in one word to the influence of Radical
teachings and theories.-Sentinel.

CAN MEETING AT WILKEBOkOBGH, 4Ih
JULY, 1857.
WHEREAS, The Congress of the United
States have by an act entitled an act TO pro-
vide q more efficient government tor the late
rebelllous States, passed March "a 1907,
provided for a restoration of the Union on
firm, just and loyal basis, and for the admis-
sion of said rebelious States when they
have complied with the provisions OF the
above mentioned act.
ResoIued. That we the loyal Republican
people of Wilkes County, N. c., do heartily
endorse the terms of reconstruction offered
by the aforesaid acts, and SO Tar as we are
able we will in good faith do all that we can
to restore North Carolina to her former re-
lations in the federal Union.
Resolyed, That it is the duty of all loyal
citizens everywhere to unite in their efforts
to aid the restoration of the Union upon a
truly loyal basis, and to put down the rebel
faction who are now aspiring to rule.
| Resoloed. That we are ready to cooperate
with the loyal Republicans of the State, in
their efforts to restore the State to the
Union, and we pledge ourselves to exert
all the neans in our power to prevent the in
reference of rebels and traitors.
Resoloed, That having seen the desolation
and suffering brought about by the leaders
and instigators of the rebellion, that in fu-
ture we will never vote for nor support any
man to any office whatever but those who
have been tried and found to be truly loyal
Union men.
Resol0ed. That the class of politicians who
brought on the wicked war from which we
have just emerged and those who followed
after them, commonly known as the latter
day war saints, are not worthy of the sup
port of free people; their suggestions to
aid in the work of reconstruction are only
equalled in impudence by their former at
tempt to dissolve the Union.
ResOlced, That the Chairman of this meet
lug appoint ten delegates to represent
Wilkes County in the Republican State Con-
vention to be held in Raleigh on the first
Wednesday in September next.
Under the sixth resolution the Chairman
appointed the following named men as dele
gates to the Republican State Convention,
to wit: s. P. Smith, Sen., G. J. Cowles, ].
@. A. Bryan, R. M. Smith, G. R. s. Simpson,
Asa Triplett and G. 81. Brown, whites, and
Rev. Alfred Stokes, Andy Gilreath and o.
bore Hackett, colored.
On motion, the Chairman, G. S. Smoot,
was added to the above number.

| The consequences of the situation, in the
present, are universal depression, unreliable
labor, industrial paralysis, agricultural re-
| progression, and, what is more deplorable,
| widespread decentralization. Men have no
heart to work, when the future is blank,
or worse than a blank investments are idle,
property is regarded as insecure and preca-
nous and, in the general Instability, the
moral obligations, which are born of conf
dence and faith, are loosened. Crime is
rife, and has assumed forms of horror and
atrocity heretofore undreamed of, even, in a
State remarkably distinguished for its ex-
emption from deeds OF lawlessness and vio-
lence-Sentinel

WAcAMAw LAKE.-It has always been a
matter of great surprise to us that the above
magnificent and beautiful sheet of water
located within such short distance of Will
mington, and possessing SO many attrac-
tions, should be regarded so insignificant,
and that the people of city should manifest
so evident want of appreciation of its ex-
istence, its beauties and'attractions. Situat-
ed in broad tract of level country, this
sheet of water possesses attractions which
if not deemed sufficient to rank it among
our summer resorts, should at least serve to
entice visitors, who are anxious to escape
from the heated city for a few days to its
shores. 1t is II or Is miles in circumference,
being about miles long and miles wide,
and abounds with fish, which to the
sportsman, hold out the greatest induce
ments.
Perhaps the comparative state of retire
ment in which this place is allowed to re-
main may be owing to the fact that but few
accommodations are afforded for visitors
With the exception of an excellent hotel,
presided over by the kind and worthy Mrs
Brothers, it possesses none. We think that
X steps were taken to construct bathing
ho1Ees along the shores of the Lake, and a
sufficient number of boats were provided for
the accommodation of anglers and those
pleasure parties who might desire to explore
its waters, there would be greater number
of visitors, and more parties of pleasure
found to repair to its beautiful shores W.T.
