FELLOW FREEDMEN AND FREEMEN.-The Con-
gress of the United States, in March, 1865, "cOn-
sidering the interest and elevation of the Freed
men, Chartered an institution called 'Freedman's
Saving and Trust Company the Mother Bank
being located in Washington City, D. C. This
Bank is establishing branches throughout the
South. One has been established in this, the
City of Raleigh, N C. Its officers are composed
of some OF the ablest and best gentlemen Of this
City, whose names are herein annexed.
We call upon every male and female to deposit
their little earnings. Deposits arc received from
any one. Old oryoung. you can deposit from one
dollar up to thousands. We give five per cent
interest on the dollar, if it remain six months
II You have money laid by put it in here, and it
will not only be safe, but it will be making you
something all the time. Remember, you are poor
save your MONEY. You want homes-save
your MONEY. You want education-sayc your
MONEY. You want to live comfortably-save
your MONEY. "Mark this" that industry, So
briefly, economy, and good moral character,
lead to wealth, education, influence and power
Now don't wait until you yet a large amount to
deposit; but deposit the small amounts, they will
soon grow large; small beginnings make large
endings the small streams swell the large riv-
ers seas and oceans. See what ten cents of each
working day deposited at this interest would
amount to in ten years.

The Southern States.


The New York Tribune, giving the reas-
ons why Congress should not fix upon an
early adjournment assigns the following,
among others:
The Southern States are just ready tG
have their reconstruction perfected. 1t is
not the fault of their loyal people that they
have not been ready before There has been
too much delay in calling Conventions and
in submitting Constitutions; but six States
are now knocking at the doors of Congress,
where Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas will
soon follow them. We want to see the very
last State admitted, her selfgovernment per-
fected, Military rule superseded, and the
Freedmen's Bureau withdrawn, before Con-
gress adjourns. We shall thus have drawn
every fang of the Copperhead, and reduced
him to the harmless recreation of hissing.-
He won't make many Electoral votes out of
that.
The people are told that the Freedmen's
Bureau costs immense sums-that the ne
groes are maintained in idleness on Govern.
ment rations-that there is no prospect of a
restoration of the South to self government
under Republican rule-that the "carpct-
baggers" are living in clover at the public
expense-that there is no hope of return
to the reign of law, peace, and prosperity,
until the Democrats are restored to power,
&C., &c. Restore the States, abolish Mill
tary rule. withdraw the Freedmen's Bureau,
and all the guns of the Seymours, Brookses,
and Clay Deans will be spiked or their car
tridges rendered harmless We expect to
beat them anyhow; but there is no use in
exposing ourselves to a hard fight when we
might have an easy one if we chose.
The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1868-06-03
The orasioa was then delivered by Dr.. H.

The Grafton was then delivered by Dr.. H.
C. .Vogell. We have heard but one opinion
as to the manner in which DR.. Vogell acquit-
ted himself on the occasion. His Oration
was eloquent, chaste in its dictien, and replete
with the glowing history Of the gallant men
by whose fortitude and valor the Republic
was saved. We will not attempt sketch
of it, as we trust it will be given in full to
the public.
At the conclusion of the Grafton. and after
Benediction by the Rev. Fl. M. Upper, the
people dispersed through the grounds to
decorate the graves.
The number of graves is estimated at L.
1870, and the boqucts laid upon them were
not less than $500. The number of persons
present was not less than 1850. 9
Among other persons present not named
above, we observed Gen. Clitz, Commander
of the Post; Hon. Thos. Settle, Hon John
T. Deweese, c. L. Harris, Esq, William M.
Coleman, Esq, Prof w. G. Kerr, Maj.
Dewey, Col. T. P. Johnston, and Maj. Lynn.
Nothing occurred to interrupt the pro-
ceedings or to mar the appropriately solemn
feeling that pervaded the large assemblage.
1t has been stated that the procession con-
sisted mainly of colored persons" This is
true. But it is no reflection on the gallant
dead, and not at all discreditable to the oc
casion that these loyal people were not
backward, as Others were, in showing their
respect for the occasion.
The day will yet come when the greatest
and the proudest in this community will
press forward to. do honor to the remains of
these Heroes of the Union; when interest
will he compatible with duty; and when the
fear of social opprobrium and outlawry will
not so operate on weak nerves as to prevent
