Congress and the Impeachment Trial.

Except the impeachment trial. nothing is trans
pirng in Washington of any Importance. The trial
of the President occupies the attention of both Houses
and the Representatives spectators So far, no
evidence sufficient justify the conviction of the
President has been elected and although CORES
pondcnts say there is fixed determination to find
him guilty, think it very doubtful.
Last week, testimony in behalf of the President
but the prosecution, represented by Butler, objected
much of his testimony, that nothing of impor-
lance was asccrtained.
One of the Presidents counsel Mr. Stanberry, was
unable to attend the trial last week, owing to sick
ness, and some delay caused thereby. Mr. Butler
made speech against delay and urged the promI
removal of the President, declaring that the South
suffering great horrors in the present uncertain
condition of affairs. The telegraph gives the follow
ing notice of Mr. Buffers speech:
Butler made harangue against delay, say
ing that during this delay Union men were muir
dered daily throughout the South; treasury off,
cials were selling gold below and buying bonds
above the market, thereby putting money into
their pockets, and characterized that the last
act of the war in which thousands were killed,
and demonstrated against delay onSGs last ac-
count-on account Of the sickness ofan attorney.
Butler exhibited note he had received, telling
him that the avenger was abroad. He denied be-
ing scared, quoting Scotch proverb that IA
threatening dog was safe.

Immigration from the North.

| The Virginia papers state that large numbers Of
Northern farmers moving into Virginia and bay-
ing land for the puspose of engaging in agriculture
The Norfolk Journal says that from county alone
in Pennsylvania, (Frankn,) many settlers have
come and bought property to the amount of 5000 00O
and the Journal remarks:
sNow is the time for farmers to and settle
among Every friend to Virginia ought to desire
many white men to emigrate to his State posi-
BILE. We want population and wealth. We also
want white voters to get out of the slough into
which Radicalism has plunged us-and We should
remember that every white get among US,
will not only bring money and labor but will also
bring Conservative vote.
We entreat he people of the Northern States not
to listen to the stories they in the Radical papers
They all gotten up for effect. They wish to keep
Virginia i'll the hands of the negroes to secure
the political Offices and the plumber. 1t won't do,
however; for the white tide has set in and wherever
that comes, the black tide is turned back. That has
been the of things since the beginning of
history, whose facts but repeating themselves in
Virginia. With few more thousand emgrants from
the North from Europe, the white in Virginia
will be put far in the ascendancy that there can
be further trouble that result from the ne
groes. These diminishing anyhow, and with
emigration constantly swelling the Caucasian race
in Virginia, in very few years the relative num-
bers of the negroes will be very small compared
to that of the white race to give anxiety"
We believe that large immigration to North Caro-
lima will also soon take place. We have good soil
and climate any in the world, and the day is not
far distant when vast resources will be developed
by enterprising white men-farmers mechanics and
laborers. Virginia and North Carolina will yet be-
come leading States in the Union, and, matter
what happens now, their affairs must be finally
trolled and governed by white men. Let us do all
we can to encourage white people to settle among
and cultivate our lands. This is fine country
for industrious people, but very bad for lazy men,
black white.
This Southern country must yet flourish and pros
per- notwithstanding present adverse appearances.

We regret to hear complaints from many of our
Subscribers that they cannot get their papers regu-
lary because the Postmasters. or those who have
charge at the places of delivery allow persons to
take them out and read them and carry them off
The Agent of the Post Office Department in this
State DIR Jobe) recently published notice to Post
masters on this subject and warned them that they
would be held responsible for such conduct, but it
has done but little if any good A man who takes
anothers paper without permission from the sub
scriber himself is no better than a who steals
any other kind of property. If we can get the evil
dence to justify it, will expose such persons and
make them pay damages. We beg Postmasters in
the country not to permit any one (who is not sub
scriber to take papers from the office unless he has
written permission from the subscriber.
