A Good Chance for LabOrerS.

Many laborers, perhaps both black and white,
will find it difficult to obtain employment in the
fields. Shall they, therefore, be idle? We hope
not. All must work vigorously to improve our
condition.
We are glad to learn that our fellow citizen,
Rev, J. X: Howell, Of this city, is making ar
engagements to go into the stare business. The
lines Of the Raleigh and CASTOR and the North
Carolina Railroads offer large advantages to go
into this business. We learn that box cars,
which will carry 1000 slaves each, can be char
tered from this city to Norfolk at Ssh each for
the trip. If SO, opinion is that it will be
very profitable to make slaves at any point ot the
railroads, of both white and rec, oak.
If any person desires to 60 into the business,
let him open a correspondence with any of the
Norfolk or Portsmouth commission merchants,
asking specific instructions as to the length,
width and thickness of the several kinds of mar
ketable slaves, with price, &c Then let him
obtain a good stave- gctter, white or black t1om
Northampton, BERTHE, Gates, HEREFORD or Chowan.
where the business is well understood. One
good hand will learn common hands in few dlys
how to get them. The tools required cost but
little. Where men do not own the timber, let
them purchase it at fair rates from the owhrs.
1t is a cash business, and the money will be cenl-
ing i'll as fast get two or three car lotds
to market. But it should be managed well with
at least one good employee who understands it

ANOTHER MURDER In PITT .COUNTY.-To
the long list of murders and outrages that have
recently occurred in different localities, We have
to add that of Mr. Willis Briley, quiet, molten
sive man, living in the neighborhood of Ballord s
Store, in Pitt county Mr. B. was brutally MUIR
dered in his own house early in the night of the
Odd ult. He was shot down dead in the pres
ence of his wife and children. The mob that
committed this hcllish deed is said to have con-
sisted of about thirty mounted men. Who they
were or where they came from is only matter
Of conjecture so far The party attempted
the murder of other citizens living near Mr., Bri-
ley's. but they succeeded in making their escape.
The STAvE BusINEss-We alluded the
other day, to the profits of the stave business.
We learn that a company has been getting, for
some time, white oak pipe and hogshead slaves,
near the Railroad, between the Catawba River
and Morganton, which sent by Railroad to
Norfolk and shipped to Europe and the company
find it profitable. Why may not our people,
in this region, do the same ?-Rale!yh Sentinel

The Cotton Tax.

We suppose that there will be large major
ity in Congress in favor of repeal of the tax
upon cotton and that the bill will be passed up
on the re-assembling of this body after the New
Years holidays There is little movement,
chiefly, as it seems to us, on the part Of specu-
lators to delay this action; but the pleas urged
in favor of postpenement will not bear critical
examination.
One argument urged upon this side is that the
tax is not so onerous as represented. We have
before us two account sales of 100 bales, one
made when cotton was 20 cents per pound, with
net results of 81 ,394.7S, upon gross return OF
$4,000. The other similar account at Is cents,
with a net result of SIS 204, on a gross return of
5000. The tax and nearly all the expenses of
handling remain the same when the price de-
cnes, and the charges thus become absolutely
ruinous to the planter.
is, that unless this is collected the South will
escape assessment altogether. This proposition,
if true, would furnish the best possible reason
for repeating the imposition cotton. No man
who is consumer can escape his share of the
public burdens. If the South is so poor that it
can buy nothing, it certainly ought not to be
subjected to the dead weight it must carry to
pay this large revenue into the treasury. But
what tax is there, either for excise or customs
of which that section does not pay its full pro-
portion Is it the tax on sales? Oh manufac-
lures? on the professions? ON income? Why
does that section not pay the same as any other
Because it has no sales, manufactures, no
business no income, if the statement is true.
Then why impose on it's poverty!
The heavy tax levied on cotton is Unjust be-
cause it is unequal, no such assessment being
laid on other raw products; because it burdens
production at the time when any such weight is
severe af1ction to struggling people; but
chiefly because it is a blow at the whole trade and
commerce of the country, and discrimination
against a product upon which, and its early pro-
gress to market, all classes of industries, in the
present condition of exchanges, are widely de-
pendent. When the tax was levied we pre-
dicted the inevitable result. If it was what
some claim tor it, blow only at Southern in
terests, there would be sufficient reason for its
repeal, but We should have no hope Of securing
such measure of justice from the present Con
gress. But its evil influence has been felt in all
our borders. Every farmer at the West has felt
it in the market for his produce; every manu-
facturer at the North and East has paid his share
of the penalty for the great mistake. The vote
for repeal, therefore, will embrace a very large
majority, and can only be delayed by intriguing
spectators, who wish to feather their own nests
before the action is consummated.-Neac York

Foreign News.

The great Powers have determined to ask Ma
poleon for the basis Of the proposed Italian Con-
ference. The Conference is delayed by the III
ability to reconstruct the Ministry.
Late dispatches from the Abyssinian expedi-
ton, reported that King Theodore, alarmed at
the magnitude Of the expedition, has released
the prisoners.
Unfavorablc news as to the state of the Pope's
health is confirmed by letters from Rome. 1t is
said that during the last few days the sanitary
condition of his Holiness has excited considerable
anxiety. the energy and irnaness which he dis
played during the recent political events having
been succeeded by reaction which has occa-
stoned great debility.
The agitation in Italy is steadily increasing to
an alarming extent, and outbreaks against the
authority of the Government are expected both
i'll northern and southern cities. The Govern
ments Of France and Italy have been so busy to
sew the wind that they must now expect to reap
the whirlwind.

The Savannah News contains the following,

laid young white girl in secluded spot on Il
read leading from Louisville and committed rape
upon her, using much violence As soon as the
fact became known, an excited crowd, white and
black, assembled and arrested the negro, who
confessed his guilt. He was then tied to IA tree
and burned alive. According to one account his
ears were first burned off, and his face cut with
a knife. The crowd was very excited; as violent
a disposition for vengeance was manifested by
the negroes as the whites, although many of the
people of the county earnestly d;sapproved of and
protested against the illegal course of the lynch
