Col, 4. A. HLCkOy.

This gentleman deserves the thanks OF
the entire community. He fagellated the
Dockery, the political weather-cock-the
great reconstructed am-the rly-burly
man that prophesied war IN eighteen
hundred and sixty-one, but could not lore
see himself lead regiment to the front
and meet and rout and kill the miserable
Yankees. Those were days of blood, you
know and to cry, down with the Yankees,
was enough for the great OH Dockery
He made use of as poor argument IN that
debate with Col. McKoy at this place as
we have over heard. After prophesylng
he spoke little of Grant, little OF Col
fax, abused Seymour little, and wound
up with great deal of wind about stolen
harness and horses. We have never seen
q castigation so complete, or truth so as
founding, as that delivered by his oppo-
nert. He told Dockery that he would re-
duce his three thousand six hundred to
the round numbers of two thousand or one
thousand five hundred. Has he not done
so See the figures OF the Radicals
The official majority will be brought
down to tho lowest estimate OF the Colonel.
Yes, Radicalism rules the State. How
long, 0 Lord, how long will you suffer
the race of Ignorant upstairs, vipers among
your people, to stand =? Only couple OF
years. The plaques of Egypt have been
sent upon you to mako you remember Me.
The Assyriens have come down upon you
to make you remember Me. The Nile has
turned it's waters on you that you may re-
member he The beginning of another
era is at hand.

From every quarter we see commenda.
bic disposition to give General GRANT all
the assistance necessary to enable him to
administer the affairs of the country in
accordance with the common welfare.
There will be no fault-fnding opposition.
He will be judged by his own acts, and
even the indiscretion, not to use any
harsher language, of his friends will cause
no hasty judgment against him. From
Democratic sources como numerous propo.
sitions to DO him honor On the day of his
Inauguration, and to undo the illegal and
disgraceful curbs with which party malig-
nifty and corruption have bound up the
proper and necessary powers and rights OF
the Executive Office. They propose to
repeal the Tenure of Office Act, to enlarge
the number of the Supreme Co TT bench
to its former strength, and to enew the
other functions of the President which
hatred and fear induced the Radical party
to deprive the present Executive, the
Democratic party much preferring a return
to the healthy restraints of the Constitu-
ton, even though their political enemies
bear off all the emoluments of Office. Obey
the laws and let the incidents of admins.

PrPiuSScSa

Passion seems to rule tho hour. A po-
litical victory, won through prejudice and
misrepresentation, could hardly have been
expected, although wo have INDUCED in
the vain hope, to end by burying at once
the bitter partisanships by which it was
brought about. The terrible warfare which
has Just ended has left its sting, we fear,
as fatal to the Immediate return of friendly
and peaceful relations between the Sec
tions as that which followed the cessation
of real war in 1865. Selishness and hatred
have turned the issues Of the late canvass
from their natural and legitimate channels
to the renewal Of those which led to the
separation and attempted division Of the
Union. The candidates of the Democratic
party, although one was the foremost
Northern statesman, whose executive abili-
ty, energy and patriotism first checked the
Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania, and
the other pronounced the ablest and most
successful volunteer General in the United
States service, whose courage and fore
thought saved to the Federal cause the
State of Missouri, and thus contributed as
much to victory as any other man. have
been denounced as copperheads and trail
tors, unworthy the regard of patriotic men,
and whose success would make treason re-
spectacle and endanger the perpetuity of
the Union. Eminent soldiers and states
men throughout the North, who espoused
the Democratic party, and especially such
as were put forward for office, met with
similar denunciations.
The reason for this is obvious. Preju-
dice to Southern men, to Southern inter
ests and to Southern feelings and sympa-
thies have proved the most potent levers
to control the Northern masses, and whether
the promotion of such autagonisms was
productive of good or evil to the country
was lost sight of in the more absorbing and
pressing demands of present success. The
nationality of the Democratic party and its
candidates were easily hid from the masses
behind the towering figures of HAMPTON,
FORREST and VANCE, and Northern preju-
dice required only to know that Southern
virture, intelligence and responsibility
were united for their own protection to
form at once in solid phalanx to break
down such dangerous and disloyal combi-
nations against the integrity and safety of
the Union.
This state OF facts was more to be re-
GREETED than wondered at. Our people did
their duty nobly under the trying circum-
stances, and theic conduct would have
carried conviction to unbiased minds. And
the very best excuse, from our standpoint,
to be urged for the harsh judgment which
has been passed upon US, is the Ignorance,
nay, the false representations with which
those people have been kept in regard to
everything in relation to the South. But we
had hoped with the success of the objects
for which this mischief was conceived and
carried out, it would at least be permitted
to die of its own falsity, and instead OF
prejudice and hatred, something Of the old
feelings would take their place. We had

Truck Farming

We trust the experiments of the past
season proved sufficiently remunerative
to induce our farmers to undertake, upon q
more enlarged and improved scale, the
raising of early vegetables for the North
ern markets. With the advantages of the
experience of last year, not only as to the
cultivation of the crop, but its transporta-
ton to market, our farmers are in much
better condition now to make the business
profitable. Oar railroad officials, with a
liberality and energy truly commendable,
are making ample arrangements for the
cheap and rapid shipment of this crop
They, too, will be benefited by the expe-
rience of tho past season, and the very few
complaints which have been made, will
find no cause for repetition next Spring.
These facts present advantages which we
believe will not be lost upon our entelpri-
sing agriculturists, and that not only will
the number of persons engaged in truck
ing, and the quantity of land planted in
vegetables and fruit be greatly increased,
but that the means for forcing the rapid
growth and maturity of the crop will be
provided. Our climate will naturally ma
ture vegetables from two to three weeks in
advance of that in and around Norfolk,
but much of this natural advantage is de-
stroyed by artificial means. Manures,
thorough cultivation and extensive hot
houses are used with much success, and we
must provide ourselves with these aids if
we propose to compete with our enterpri-
sing neighbors. In fact, by placing our
crop in market il advance of the Norfolk
crop, we not only reap the advantage of
the fabulous prices which the earliest vege-
tables realize in the Northern cities, but
also provide against overlooking the mar
ket with the most perishable of all articles,
for our crop will be sold before our more
Northern friends will be able to get theirs
ready.
It seems to us advisable that vegetables
should be sold at the first market which
they reach. 1t is long distance to carry
them from our city to any of the great
Northern markets, and it would be almost
impossible, were it not for the rapidity and

certainty which liberal and intelligent rail

certainty which liberal and intelligent rail
road management has provided for thelI
special transportation. We should think
that sales effected in Baltimore would prove
more profitable, for the snail additional
price which might be realized in Philadel-
phia and New York would not Offset the
additional danger Of decay in their trans
portation. Such only as could stand the
additional transportation could be profita
bly, sent forward by the Baltimore pur-
chaser.
In the next place. our shippers should
not divide their crops too much. Ordi-
narily, competition is the life Of trade. but
this is an exception. Ii a shipment OF one
hundred barrels of green peas is made to
four different dealers, You force into com
petition your own produce. which must
find sale ut once, or it is lost entirely,
One person in control Of all the vegeta-
bles received during the day, can sustain
prices better than with several compet1-
tors. With the first shipments, at least,
such arrangements would prove profitable.
We feel persuaded that Trucking must
form an important element in the rap ld
Improvement of our immediate section,
and we look for very large increase OF
shipments next Spring, and trust may then
announce that its success is firmly estab-
lished. Like every other crop, there are
many uncertainties attending it, but men
have grown rich most rapidly by the cult
walton of vegetables, who had only the
advantage of twelve hours in reaching
market, while We have three weeks IL eli
mate.
We are glad to know that at the North,
Wilmington is already looked to as one of
the points from which to draw their earliest
vegetables. Points farther South are uncer-
tain from their reMoteness, adding both to
the time and cost Transportation. Oar first
season in the business has given US repu-
tation, and We have ourselves been inquired
of by Northern capitalists in regard to our
land, brought to their notice through this
very business. If we can establish the lu-
craLiveness Of Truck Farming by actual
results, there ere fHW indeed who realize
the benefits to be derived, both in the APP
probation OF the value OF our lands and
the influx Of capital IL our midst. Let rs
mako All honest effort this coming season,
and let as begin in time.

-" Cav Holden.

In 1861 this dishonest politician and
violent demagogue saw nothing in the gov
eminent cf the United States but infringe
ment on the rig nts of the South, dss-
tardly abuse Of Southern men and man
ners, cowardly oppression and high
handed authority. He was, if aot the
Chief among tho first to cry out against
this Ubiquitous system of legislation ard to
advocate = separation of the States. He
was a most violent secessionist, not from
honesty Of intention, but simply because,
like great many others down here now,
he thought he saw money in the situation.
No man advocated more bloody measures
than lie against the s'h--ish Yankees %
(see his paper of the time), or did more to
overthrow the strength CT the Union. He
so continued to do until it was apparent 70
ell that the Confederacy. "his glorious
Confederacy," was about to fall, and then
the truculent agitator said he had simply
Joined the cause OF the South to be friend
to the Union in the hour of need. Was
there ever such specious dishonesty as this?
Was there ever such want of manliness
Trust him Believe him Was there ever
time in the history Of our country where
in a true man was more needed than in
that most trying year? Yet this more
than Asiatic impostor calmly tells the peo-
and those beyond its limits, that he simply
cried, "Down with the miserable Yankees
War to the knife against those vandals !
Strike forever than be an integer of the
Infamous Union p'-to aid, in it's hour of
need, the cause of the government He
was the means of introducing innumera-
ble stands Of arms to aid in the cause of the
Union No; but to slaughter its defen-
ders, and to maintain the cause os the Con-
| federacy. To-day he has endeayored, des-
pite the dissent Of Congress-, to arm one
class against another. He has introduced
arms to put in their hands, on the plea
that it is necessary to do this to keep his
government together. IF such thing ever
happens that the hour Of trial again comes
on between the central government on the
one side, and q section Of the country on
the other, trust this man Holden, ye North
ern men, and you will learn the perfd
eousness Of his character. An English
Chemist says that man is but a few buck
cts of water and a few ounces of charcoal
This man is less. He is but a few grains
of treacherous powder. and the rest of him
is putrescent pool of deceit. Heis 10y
al man The Democrat who came here
to make him 10 his duty, and to bring the
craven to a knowledge of his allegiance, is
rebel Such is the fact. The day is not
distant when honor and manhood will rule
in North Carolina. instead OF unbridled
villainy and fonl oppression.
