Paper Making.

We presume it is not generally known that a large
amount OF the Book Paper used at the North is made
near Llncolnton, c. Two Paper Mills, in the
vicinity OF Linco!nton, have been in operation for
several years past, and turn out good paper as
any Mill IN the United States.
One of these Mills have heretofore been run by
"is"aII Tiddy, the other by Grady, Bannister &
TO. VIM Tiddy Sons have recently bought the in
terest of Mr. Wiswall in Mill, and also the whole
establishment of Grady, Bannistcr & Co.. and they
VII" now work both Mills. The Tiddys, father and
eohS' are working men, intelligent, educated mechan-
les and we hopethey will meet with that success
which industry, integrity and energy deserves

A Disgraeeful Assault On Females.

A great deal of excitement and indignation has
been caused in Raleigh and throughout the State, by
an article which appeared in the Raleigh Standard
of the 10Th inst, in which Southern females were
grossly vilifed and slandered We thought, when
we first saw the article, that it was shameful to
reproduce but having had several Inquiries about it,
we give an extract. After urging its friends 90 work
for the success of the Republican party, the Stan
| dard says
''But wherever else you work don't forget to work
among the women. The Confederacy wouldn't have
lasted year if it hadn't been for them. One good
| rebel woman is worth dozen rebel men. Go after
! the women then. They will make their husbands
and their lovers shout for Grant and Colfax until
they are hoarse, if you will manage to replace some
| of the diamond rings and laees Frank Blair stole
from them when he here. And don't hesitate
to throw your arms around their necks and them
when their husbands not around and give them
good --. They ali like it, and the Yankeer you
are the better it takes. Our experience with female
rebs is that with all their sins they have a vast
amount OF human nature, and only want TO have it
appreciated to be the most loving creatures imagin
able Scalawags and earpet-baggers! don't fail,
therefore, you the State to look after the
women You are all good looking and they know it,
but with native modesy, like sweet New England
girls, they like to be approached first Don't be
afraid of their eyes-they glare like young eopards
by day light but under the blue death
stricken fawn is half tender half so deep.
Don't read Judge Pearsons letter to them, but give
them Byron and Shelly in Volumes and you will
have them in your arms if not in your party in less
than week.
Is there a decent man in the Republican party
South or North, who will justify such language to-
wards Southern females? We hope not-in fact we
have heard several Republicans denounce it in pri-
vate conversation; but they ought to take public
action and repudiate the author we'll the article
We shall apply no epithets to the author, for of
course it would do good Int Dub1jc oninjon nd
public Indignation should teach him that he cannot
escape the scorn and contempt of viruous people.

WASHINGTON Items.

A nolle prosequi has been entered on the
murder Indictment Of Surratt. His counsel
make special plea that the second indictment is
barred by the amnesty proclamation subsequent
| ly to which it was found. The Judge sustained
| the potency Of the Presidents amnesty procla-
nation but rejected the special plea, saying that
it does not appear from the record, that the
prisoner adhered to the enemy, or that he COM
mitted treason, and, therefore, he does not come
within the proclamation. The ofense is mis-
demeanor, and is not covered by the terms of the
proclamation. He, for these reasons, sustained
the demurrer. The defence asked leave to amend
their plea, and the Court adjourned. When the
Court re-assembled, Surratt plead the statute of
limitation of 1899, and was discharged So
ended great farce which has cost the Govern
nient thousands of dollars.
The President having had no notification of
Mondays session Of Congress, will not recognize
it. Consequently, appointments made during
the recess still hold good
Lincons son Robert was married to Senator

Gen Grant will not return to Washington till

Gen. Reynolds reports from Austin, Texas
that detachment of the 9th Cavalry, from Fort
Davis, overlook two hundred Indians, and killed
thirty wounded thirty, rescued ten captives, cap
tured two hundred animals and destroyed the
Indian camp and winter supplies.
p&y- The negro has cost the War Department
of the Government just six times the amount of
Secretary Stanton s estimate, according to Data"
of the Baltimore Sun:
Secretary Stanton, in his report, December,
1865, gave as the cost of the War Department
for peace organization the sum of thirty three
millions Of dollars. From official records it is
shown that the War Department, in three years
since the close Of the war, has cost six hundred
and ten millions of dollars, or more than six
times the estimate Of Secretary Stanton"

ga We presume that there are but few intelli-
gent persons in the United States, who know any,
thing about the circumstances, but who will now
say that Mrs. Surratt murdered by being hung
as an accomplice in the assassination of President
Lincoln Her son, John Surratt, was arrested on
the same charge, and there was much more evidence
to convict him than there TO convict his mother
yet the indictment has recently been quashed by the
Government because it found that civil court
could not convict him with the testimony. He has
been discharged from custody.
The sub Jet calls to mind Il statement made by the
Hon Mr. Bingham in the late canvass in Maine He
says that President johnson refused to pardon Mrs
Surratt after petition had been sent him signed by
every member bat of the court who tried her
and drawn up i'll the handwriting of Mr. Bingham
himself, who the Government counsel in the trial
Andrew johnson is much to blame for the
crimes committed by military commissions as any
one else, for he had the power (but not the moral
courage) to dissolve them, and to pardon after Illegal
conviction. He has been very poor friend to the
oppressed Southern white man.
