Grape, Frssii and Vegetable Growing.
Editors Of The Journal, WiLnsia1t072
GENTLEMEN:-Tho subjectof Grape, Frau
and Vegetable growing is now attracting the
attention of our'people to considerable
extent Yet not half the interest is taken
in the subject that its Importance demands.
With the desire TO benefit our people, as
we'll as to increase the business Of this lire
of Railway, [ propose to collect such in
formation as can readily be had and give il
to the public, either III your columns or in
the form Of q circular, or both.
{ will briefly state, here, that the climate
of Wilmington, and vicinity, will produce
''gardeu truck, " or Vegetables, about two
weeks earlier than they can be grown at
Portsmouth, Va. With this advantage in
time" or Of "carly production" and
with the great facilities for transportation
that our section possesses, our small farmers
may absolutely - coin money" if they will
inform themselves upon the subject.
The fruits-apples, peaches, grapes and,
not least, strawberrics-sr equally protita-
bic in Northern markets.
The article Of Cucmo15cJs has been sold
Qast year, as high as S15 a barrel Early
Peas, Tomatoes and Irish Potatoes will cell
at high prices if in market before they come
III from the Northern farms. Sweet Potatoes
and Cranberries put up in barrels Will sell
at prices that viii justify their production.
The wild fruits Blackberries, Huckle-
berries and the like olrioM will pay hand
somely to the gatheIers and those who
prepare them for market
Lands that arc adapted to the growth
Of Grapes and Peaches, should be imme-
diateIy planted with vines and trees all
along the line Of this road land such lands
are everywhere found IN great abundance
and in four or five years North Carolina
viii exceed New Jersey IN the fruit culture
and production.
How large an income can be obtained
from the capital invested is q matter that
will astonish those who have not given the
subject much thought.
As soon aS the proper information can
be obtained, | will give you the facts.
Suffice it to say here, that no time should
be lost by small, as we'll RS large, farmer
III preparing tncir lands FOX early 7egeta-
Dle8 CUcumbcrs, Irish Potatoes, Peas,
Deets and Tomatoes.
The planting Of Grape vines and Peach
trees axe all important. They can be had
from Delaware and Nov Jersey in abuu-
dance.

De10' Hir$ 1t is almost with grief that
/ have to announce ny Inability TO attend
the meeting Of /! Agricultural Society this
week. i week aeo [ had 4 i2aroxy2m OF Il
periodical affection, induced by cold, which
I had hoped would, as usual, pass off in
this, but am disappointed aud now ind
that it will be painful, if not impossible, to
attend.
My wormest sympathies viii be with you,
Tor / am more than ever Convinced that
the hope Of our country lies in it's Agricul-
tural department., and the only hope Of
Agriculture depends upon improved nipple
ments, and thorough culture of the soil
by enlightened and earnest men.
1t Is by no means necessary to success
that or people should adopt all the nipple
mentS Of husbanary that we sec published,
for they are not all adapted to our wants,
our soil, mode Of culture, or productions,
but some OF them are, and such only should
be adopted. l would have our own people
read, think, and experiment. to improve
and fashion implements suited to their
wants and circumstances. This they can
do better than people living at the North !;
they invent implements suited to their own
wants, not ours, most OF them would be
worthless to us, being not suited to our
circumstances and productions There
fore, L say again, let our people experiment,
read, and think for themselves. They can,
and ought to make improvements upon
the Northern improvements.
My opinion is that the question of labor
is destined to revolutionize the Agricultu-
raj system Of the country, but in what way
exactly / cannot say. Our people must
keep posted, watch the signs of the times,
and take advantage of every movement,
to improve and better their condition, but
in the meantime don't lose sight of the
main chance, be sure to make an abundant
supply Of the necessaries of life, and any
surplus OF labor put into money crops for
superfuities.
Present my kind regards to my brother
farmers, with my wishes for q pleasant.
harmonious, and profitable meeting of the
Society.
Very respectfully,

Schools

Gen. Miles, of the Freedmen's Bureau,
in late report, states that about 5000
colored children have been attending
school, longer or shorter time, during
the past year, in this State. There are
about 10000 colored children in The State,
and about 10000 white children. Who
will educate our poor white children
Under the present aspect of public affairs,
the white children, as mass, have no
prospect of education, because of the utter
poverty of the State and the people
Wherever it is possible, neighborhoods
should unite toa pay teacher and admit
all the white children of the neighborhood
free. The colored people must, in the same
way, establish schools Of their own color,
by their own contributions and those OF
their friends. Years must elapse, we fear,
before the old system of Common Schools
will be revived with any prospect of sue
cess from the Public School Fund The
excessive tax, both State and Federal,
makes it out of the question, for years tc
come, we fear, to attempts uniform School

Pilgrimage 20 the Capital.

A few Southern negro politicians are
now making their regular semi annual pill
grimage to the Radical Mecca, and have
been in consultation with the reverend
Seer and Oracle of the Temple In regard
to the future prospects Of the party, and
the fate of negro suffrage in particular.
The negro Harris, from Raleigh, cannot
help taking advantage of the favorable op-
portunity to entreat the pious intercession
of the gray haired and reverend function
airy, to receive whose blessings the pilgrim
age is made, in behalf of Holden, upon
whose shoulders rests the last hope of the
negroes in North Carolina, and whose 10y
atty, truthfulness and honor entitle him to
admission within the innermost temple Of
Radical saints, where, at least, he may be
remunerated for the sale of himself, which
was refused Harris, Heaton and some
others during their pilgrimage in July last.
Possibly, as the negroes have snubbed their
white companions this time, who lent
neither character nor talent, social or moral
consideration before, they may be more
successful. The negro directly and
indirectly influences the legislation of the
country, and we are led to suppose, from
the conduct of some white men, that they
regret, in the accident of their birth, they
had not been born of the orthodox color

TIE rrible Railroad Accidental Passenger
Car Backed Off Bridge-Fearful Loss


Car hacked off g Bridge-FearfuI Loss
of Life.
MONTPELIER, VIZ, December 11.-One of
the most fearful accidents known in the
annals of Vermont occurred to-day at Har-
Dor Bridge, near Northtield on the line of
the Vermont Central Railroad. The bridge
was burned on Sunday morning, and
during the week about one hundred men
have been engaged in rearing trestle-
work for temporary use Most of the en-
ployees having dined to-day at Mortified,
were returning to work, about one and @
half miles from town in a passenger car,
which, being backed up to the works, by
some inconceivable forgetfulness, the
engineer proceeded at rapid rate, did not
check the speed until too late, and the car.
with seventy to q hundred men, was
backed off the abutment into the river
below, distance of sixty feet, the tender
following.
The number of casualties is appalling,
fifteen men being killed instantly, and
three or four more died soon after About
the same number were injured-some IA
tally and others slightly. The casualties
consist of broken arms, legs, hands, dislo-
cations, cuts, burns and bruises

Confederate STRENGTH

The errors ir regard to Confederate forces
are SO gross that we fear they can never be
corrected. We have recently examined q
history published in Baltimore, and which
| aims to be just to the South and yet it est
mates the Southern force at Sharpsburg at
100, 600 men "a higher estimate by 5000
than Gen. Mcclellan puts ii. We have
it stated that Gen. Lees estimate is 33, 600
and it is thus given by Dabney. Now we
think that we calculated Lees force at the
time from date, which could not DE erron-
eous, and it amounted to just q, 900. If
there is any mistake in it, the error is or
the side of excess. We feel that the South
ern force was under rather than over this
number. Our line was so thin that when
broken, the enemy thought that the Skin
mish and not the line of battle was broken
So the Confederate strength at South
Mountain has, we believe, never been set
down by our late enemies at less than
40, 900. 1t was, in TACT, about 5000 until
3 o'clock in the afternoon, when Longstreet
came up.
General Casey claims in his official report
that his works at Seven Pines were as
saulted by 10000 moa. They wc4e carried
by 5000
1t was grim joke Of Mr. Lincoln that
he had discovered that the Confederates
had 5000, 900 men N the field, because he
had 100000 and his men were always
getting oVorpowered by having ar odds Of
three to one against them

Protest OF Member OF the AIn 'pR1na Goa.
VCn1SOn,

Mr.. James Howard, delegate to the Ala
bama Constitutional Convention from Cren-
shaw county, was called home q day or two
before the ADJOURNMENT Of that body, and
in departing submitted a protest, in which
he said:
AT the commencement Of the session
INDUCED the hope that moderate counsels
would prevail, but I soon discovered that a
majority Of those with whom I WAS associa-
ted were legislating for self and party
without regard to right, and perfectly in
different to the best interest Of the State
they SO shamefully misreprcsent. Under
the circumstances, have been unable to
accomplish any good for my constituents,
and in their name, and in the name CT all
that is right and just, [ do hereby protest
against the proceedings Of said Convention
as unjust, selfish, vindictive, proscriptive
and subversive of the best interest of the
State and of republican institutions, and if
not rejected when submitted for ratiica-
ton, calculated to bring about war of
races. All of which is respectfully submit
ted, with a request that it be spread upon
the journal of the Convention"
