A correspondent tells the following
story of one of the farmers in the vicinity
Of Culpepper, whose possessions lay in a
district where both armies foraged. The
old chap one day, while surveying rue
fully the streaks in the soil where his
fence once stood, remarked, with much
feeling, 81 haint took no sides in this
year rebellion, but I'll be doggorned if
sides haint took me!'

WHAT Row.--Theodore Tilton
writes "Not only sound principle but
gentlemanly courtesy made it my duty
to break my ballot in twain, like my dali
~ loaf and share it equally with my
wife" What precious row, says an
exchange, there will be at breakfast on
election days, in some families, when the
daily loaf is broken and fred at each
others head.

of the Colorado river will be remembered, is at
Present in Washington. He had an interview with
Secretary Stanton on the 25d ultmo, relative to a

there appears to be hitch with other branches

MEssRs EDITORS Il enclose tu you a
handful for a call of rebel meeting which
came off at Waynesville, on the AID of this
month"; You will notice how carefully it is
worded to deceive the loyal Union men of
this County and get them to endorse their
actions and resolutions with their presence
and influence But sirs, it was no go. 1t
did not succeed at all in sucking in the
Union men of this County in its foul en-
brace. True, two or three men, or perhaps
few more who claim to be Union, were
present and participated with them in their
rebel political revelry, but with these excep-
tions, the whole fraternity were rebels OF the
blacklist dye, and some of them wore the
bloody hand Yes, hands yet reeking with the
warm blood of murdered Union men which
ages will not wipe out and Union generations
yet unborn forget or forgive.
have been informed that several speeches
were made by prominent rebels setting forth
their particular views concerning the militia
ny bill and the amnesty oath, and the glori-
Gus deeds done iii the past wars.
| The object of the meeting was to nomi-
nate candidate to run against the Union
candidate for the Convention. They came
to the conclusion to postpone their nomina
ton till after the Union candidate should
come out, and then call their Convention to-
gether to nominate one and beat the Union
candidate, if possible, with man of their
own views and political stamp.
They ignored the colored people entirely.
They don't want their votes at all, they are
nothing in their eyes but poor set of lazy
negroes, and would disdain to havetheir can
didate to receive votes from the negroes to
elect him. Oh yes, the nlgger now is moth
ing but lazy set of vagabonds and are un-
worthy and too contemplate to be consider
ed as citizens.
l understand that their speakess were very
windy and bombastic Self eulogiums and
the Radical party seemed to be their delight
to display their eloquence about. They do
not esteem us poor Union Richlanders at all
and put us down as Radical fanatics who
have no sense to judge who are good Union
men, though they did fight against the
United States government, they claim to be
the most loyal and true Union men now in
the country. did not hear their string of
resolutions, but no doubt they will be awful
ly loyal and patriotic when they come out in
the Neaos, full of honey and sugar to the true
Union men to come up and vote for their
candidate. Union men Dug INT not to be de-
ceived by these rebel sugar plums. and there
fore, we think your journal ought to warn
Union men against such persuasive cards.
Yours respectfully,
HIGHLAND INSTITUTE.

P. S.-A goodly part of this meeting was
composed of the blood-hounds who last win
ter hunted nearly to the death that true and
loyal citizen, Samuel Massey, and their loyal
Union meeting was held in so yards where
they tried to murder this gallant and noble
federal soldier just because he had been true
to the Union throughout the last war. All
good Union men now, since yankee bayonets
are so persuasive. R..

MEssRs. EDITORS Il wish to inform the
public of the manner in which Mr.. Edward
Wood, twelve miles below Edenton, treats
his hands at Greenfield fishery.
He put in his seine on the 1st day of
March and cut off the staff on the 10Th ult
During that time there were 1919 hands en-
ployed. -Four millions of herrings were
caught and saved-also fifty thousand shad.
The hands were compelled to do a great deal
of work and were much fatigued, but there
was not murmur, owing to the generous
treatment of Mr.. Wood. Several times he
RECALLED his weary workmen on confectionery.
On the 18th ult., be spread a magnificent
table, and the night following gave great
festival. There was music, sweetmeats and
dancing until morning. 1 am an eye witness
of these things, for l attend to MIR. Woods

Mr.. W. says that every thing he requested
of his employees, or commanded, was strict
ly obeyed during the whole season.

FOURTH DAY OF JULY IN CHATHAM.

According to previous notice, the colored
people of Buckhorn and White Oak Districts
assembled at the Shelter about half past II
o'clock, where the lines were formed for the
march.
Mr.. H. Smith being called upon made a
few appropriate remarks, admonishing all to
observe good order during the celebration.
He referred to the freedom which the people
this day enjoyed, and heartily thanked the
Congress for the wise and judicious measures
which they had adopted and enforced.
Three cheers were then given for Gen. D.
E. Sickles, Gov. Holden and James Henry
Harris.
The procession then began to move-the
White Oak citizens being in front.
Reaching the beautiful Oak grove at Will
liam Evans after march of mile and half,
dinner was discussed, and men, women and
children refreshed themselves in the shade
with lemonade and cool water
The conduct of all the people was such as
to call forth praise from every lip. Many of
them lived from ten to fifteen miles, but
came to hear and participate in the celebra-
ton.
In the evening the rain prevented the
speaking, and the meeting adjourned.

MEssRs EDITORS Politics are at low
ebb in Halifax just now. Almost every body
except the little Editors of the State, is too
busy to attend to such discussions.
The Editors of the State have so long
been accustomed to being called master, and
are so much mortified at not having any one
to call them so now, that they have come out
in favor of King. Well, l think they do
need master. Let them follow j. p Ben
jamin to England, and our blessings go with
them.
The colored population had grand cele-
bration at Halifax on the 4th. Everything
passed off quietly and in good order.
The Petersburg and Halifax clubs had a
hard contest for the ball, in which Halifax
came out second best.
I will let you know more of the prospects
of our party hereafter.
Yours truly, RIP.
