and it initiates series of the best non-copy-
right works in the English Language, under
the distinctive title of the Chandos Classics"
all Of which are to be published at price
heretofore uneqnaled. The great popularity
of Warne's Shakespeare in England may be
judged from the fact that the first edition of
Fifty Thousand copies was taken up immed-
lately upon publication, and that the second
edition, also of Fifty Thousand, is now near
ly exhausted. Since other standard works
similar in style are to follow this, the trade
and the public will appreciate the Importance
to order Warne's Shakespeare in preference
to any other.
N. B.-Warnes Shakespeare is printed up
on white paper, and no attempt is made to
save space by running in" the Dialogues
The page is therefore clear, open, distinct,
and perfectly legible.

The War Between the States,

The War Between the States,
IT'S CAUSES, CHARACTER, CONDUCT
AND RESULTS,
BY HON. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS,
It's THE TITLE of Work just issued by
l. THE NATIONAL PUBLISHING COM
PANY, Philadelphia.
Histories of the late Civil War have sprung
up like mushrooms, and they can now be
numbered almost by hundreds, but all who
are DESTROYS OF arriving at correct UNDER
standing OF the causes, and o clear history
of the events of the late lamentable war,
have felt the want of reliable history of the
same from Southern standpoint, by some
representative man of the South. This want
is about to be supplied by Alexander I'll.
Stephens. Mr.. Stephens was a most earnest
protestant against rebellion, and only sue
cumbed at the last moment, when his State,
in spite of his warning committed the great
error.
The bare announcement that this distin-
guished Statesman had determined to write
book, would, of itself, be sufficient to
kindle lively and widespread interest in all
sections of this country; but when it is
known that he has chosen as his theme the
one so fruitful as the late American War, the
absorbing interest of the subject, together
with the evident and singular fitness of the
author for its treatment, unite in awakening
curiosity entirely unparalleledin the annals
OF American literature.
1t presents o careful political analysis of
the past, separating real from apparent eau
SEES of the late unhappy conflict, and gives
those interior lights and shadows Of the
GREAT WAR, only known to those HIGH
OFFICERS, who watched the tlood-tide Of
Revolution from its fountain-springs, and
which were so accessible to Mr.. Stephens
from his position as second officer OF the
Confederacy.
To public that has been surfeited with
apparently similar productions, it presents a
change of fare, both agreeable and salutary,
and an intellectual treat of the highest or
der. The great American War has at last
found historian worthy OF its importance,
and at whose hands it receives that mode
rate, candid and impartial treatment which
truth and justice so urgently demand.
This most valuable work is sold only by
subscription, and the publishers want an

1T is not by any means silly fiction of poets

PASSED FEBRUARY 15. 1865.

Whereas, In consequence of the rapid reduc-
tion OF the small crop of corn in this State, the
prices of food have already greatly advanced, and
money being unusually scarce, great destitution
already exists and starvation must inevitably fol-
low speedily; Therefore, In order that all grain
still on hand may be reserved for bread, and
famine at least in degree averted:
BE 1t orclnmed Iy the people Of North Caro-
Tina, an (0nre3ltton Assen,Jtcd That from and
after the passage of this bill, until the first day
Of November, 1868, it shall not be lawful for any
person or persons to distill corn or any other
grain into Intoxicating liquors.
Be i t;,1'thor n'elain~d That any person or
persons who shall be guilty of violation Of this
ordinance, on being convicted before competent
court shall pay fine of $50 for the first offence,
500 for the second offence, and for the third
offence his distillery shall be closed by the Sheriff
In this ordinance each day in which the distil-
lery is in operation shall be counted separate
offence.
Be further oraained That all fines recovered
under this ordinance, after the lawful costs are
deducted, shall be paid into the Treasury Of the
county in which the conviction takes place, for
the benefit of the poor supported by said county.

weather be favorable, it may then be raked into
winrows and hauled to the barn or other place

to stack it like most other kinds of hay, as the
want of compactness in its character prevents it
from turning the rain Should necessity require
it, however it will do toerably well if the stacks
are built with the sides as straight as possible,
until within few feet of the top, and then put
ting on heavy topping of straw. 1 may re-
mark, in this connection, that clover hay is more
easily damaged by rain in curing than most other
kinds. but if the weather be favorable it is rather
more easily cured, and when well done there is
no hay superior to it.
