Immigration.

All the talk about bringing imm igrants to tins
State has not been in vain idle, far some
sections are concerned. In the Eastern part OF the
State constant efforts being made to procure re-
liable white labor, and recently there have been
several arrivals from abroad of foreigners who come
either as laborcrs tenants.
The Godsboro Rough Notes of Wednesday last
says:
ssAbout thirty five Swiss immigrants consisting OF
men, women, girls and boys, imported from Switzer-
land, by Messrs Thomas and W. Atkinson, OF tins
county arrived here on yesterday. They went to
the farms of the Messrs. Atkinson, about ten miles
from Goldsboro where they will be settled. 1t has
been our luck to see many immigrants. as they ar
rive in New York and baltimore, but we have never
met sober, intelligent and healthy set as those
which arrived here yesterday. We welcome
them to the soil of North Carolina and congratu-
late the people of the locality in which they are to
SETTLE in being fortunate enough to secure such IN
dustrious ncig hbors. We predict they will make
good and useful citizens
Once fifty families comfortably settled IN each
county. others will soon flock here We cannot set
tie too many i'll each county, the more the better.

Cotton and Wheat.

The cotton circular of VIM. Bryce Co., cotton
factors of New York, contains the followngremarks
about the cotton crop and probable prices:
s.Accounts from the South this week have been
unfavorable: both worms and rust have appeared in
almost every section, and great damage has certain
" been done to the crop i'll the Mississippi bottoms
and Texas The receipts have been fair but not
equal to anticpatons and still think that when
ever prices at the outports below point where
20 cts for middlng is not obtainabe in the Interior
that planters will withdraw their cottons. Twenty
cents at home seems favorite price among farmers
and while they are willing to sell on that basis they
are not at anything below, and have before
said we believe they have the ability this year to
demand paying prices for their cotton, and that they
will do it, Although, We stated last week, II the
daily receipts ordered sold arrival, nothing
keep the market up, for in that event consumers
and spectators will crowd down quotations to the
lowest point that the reaction shall be the greater
and more profitable to themselves
In regard to Wheat, a correspondent connected
with the Agricultural Bureau at Washington city,
THE information received at the Agricultural De-
partment for August and September has been very
voluminous and indefinite concerning wheat, furnish
ing numerous and contradictory elements IN calcu-
lation of quantity. Statements of disappointed eX-
pectations in threshing sufficiently abundant IN
the South. in Wisconsin, and in other parts OF the
West, to furnish themes for agricultural croakers
On the other hand, cases are mentioned OF three
fold acreage. with half an average yield giving
80 per cent. aggregate increase. notwithstanding
the loss the numerous returns we have declare the
the largest crop in many years, and the ma
jOriy in view of the general increase In acreage
show better result than that OF last year After
accounting for the losses i'll the yield, the average
yield per acre the whole country scarcely equal
to that of 1867 but the increased sown VIII
secure an aggregate somewhat larger than last
year.

Electionering Falsehoods.

Tn looking over the Radical papers we are
utterly amazed at the number OF terrible outrages
which they report-and this is done with such
circumstantial descriptions as to impose upon
the creduous Their authors must be greater
adopts in the art of classifying than are generally
to be met with among writer's for newspapers.
The truth is that the Radicals have sent down
into the South some of their best sensational
writer's men who have been long accustomed to
WELD the pen and they pay them well. Given
row at cross-road groggery, In which some
drunken negroes have attempted some gross H.
fraction Of the laws, and these fellows Will make
out horrible case of rebel atrocity. In every
case where there have been any collisions be-
tween the whites and the negroes, the negroes
are represented as always in the right and the
whites in the wrong.
Many of these accounts are also written in the
Offices of the Radical papers. Their correspond
ents in the South furnish them with few
statements grossly exaggerated, or totally false,
and the rest is 'done up in the editorial rooms
of the Radical organs to suit the taste of par
tizans that care not how large the mass Of non
sense they may be called upon to swallow-they
gulp it down without winklng.
The New York Tribune has distinguished
itself above all other papers by its fragrant dis
regard of all probability in its storeis. 1t is one
of the worst signs of the times that this sheet is
50 totally reckless in its statements. 1t has
column after column in every issue headed ''The
New Rebellion" in which every crime known
among men is charged upon the white people OF
the South. BY these accounts one would believe
that the whites are a set of demons, and the ne
groes and Radicals contain all the honor, re-
spectability and intelligence to be found south
