The RAMiE PLAST.-.The ramie
plant, which was introduced into
this country from Java, to the soil Of
which it is indigenous. is attracting
much attention in the South. At m
agricultural fair recently held in
Alabama. it was one of the special
features Of the exhibition. It is
claimed that, if properly cultivated
and worked, it will eventually take
the place Of cotton, and supply any
deficiency in that great staple pro-
duction. It's fbres are said to be
much finer and stronger than the best
flax; that they are as fine rs Sen
Island cotton; and that, after clean
ing, they become very soft and
white, and take colors as readily as the
finest wool or silk. Several articles
of clothing made from this fabric
were exhibited Mt the fair referred to,
and were particularly noticed for the
strength and beauty of the material.
The cultivation Of the ramie plant
has been successful on q number Of
plantations in Alabama.

The Spirit of Charleston under Gen.
CanDy's Act Of Placing Negroes on
the Board OF Aldermen.
The spirit displayed by the people
and press of Charleston, is worthy of
all commentator. We admire the
tone and spirit displayed. The South
will turn to the National Democracy
of the Union, and find sympathy
there. The Mercury says:
"What is the character of this act.
in the light of these facts? We do
not mean to complain; because COM
plant is folly, under despotisms.
The weak complain; and despotism
extlts over weakness. But we beg
leave to call the attention of the
white people of the North, to this
operation of the reconstruction laws.
They must see, that when neither
order, nor the enforcement OF the
reconstruction laws require it. white

The military power of the United
States is used, to anticipate the re-
construction itself, which tho COM
mnndcr Was appointed to enforce, in
order that the thirst OF negroes for
rule and pclf may be gratiicd. Not
protection, but persecution Of the
white race-not security to property,
but its spoliation justice, but
opprcssion-not reconstruction, but
subversion and ruin and anarchy and
war of races, seems to be the rule
OF the United States, under policy
which seeks to place tho Caucasian
under the African.
Let orr people be patient and wait.

y MATRIMONIAL NOVELTY Tho
New York correspondent of the
Louisville Democrat, writes:
A fashionable wedding, on II new
plan, came of at Zion Chu,cl,, in
the III. ii Avenue, this morning. The
bride is the daughter of wealthy
and well known iron founder, who
returns nh incono of 5000, 900 por
annnm, and tho bridegroom, the
son of IN exchange place broker,
wealthy also. The services were en-
tirely choral. Bishop Southgatc in.
toned the prayers, and even the
question, ''Wilt thou take this wo.
man." etc., was drawled out in the
same monotone. Tho effect wa,
ludicrous, rather than solemn, and
one or two of the gushing brides
maids could not restrain from laugh
ing right out at it. The choir got up

cessional" for tho occasion, and for
the delectntion of the happy pair,
and the lookcrs-on, threw in ali the
fancy music, from Mendelssohn down

MEXICO AND N[1soEGENAT1oN. Our
news from Mexico from day to day is
anything but encouraging rs to the
prospects of continued order in that
country. Mexico is in condition
quite US helpless MS Hayti, whero n
raving niger tries to rule. Mexico
is one of the few countries in the
world which have gained nothing by
coming in contact with modern civil.
zation. When Cortez found it, he
found a civilization which entities
the original Mexicans to be placed on
level with the ancient Egyptians. 1t
is not to be denied that the resources
of that country were developed under
Cortez and his successors to n point
which hid not previously been
reached. It was q development, of
course, entirely in the interest of
Spain. Still, it was such develop
ment MS implied that a strong and
vigorous power controlled the affairs
of State. The Spaniards, however,
rs colonizers, made one grand mis-
take in Mexico, as in other parts of
Central America they permitted and
encouraged mixing of the races. 1t
is not too much to say, that to mis-
cegenation most Of the sorrows of
Mexico and much Of the sorrow of
all the Central American States are
to be traced. Some races mix natu-
rally and we'll, and oven develop a
grander stock than the originals.
Certain races, however, have for each
other no natural affinity. The mix
ing Of these latter, of which we have
an example in Spain, begets only
anarchy and endless misery. It is
for lis MS q great people, with q great
destiny before lis, to avoid repeating
in the South the great and now in
curable mistake which Spain com
mitted IN Mexico.

The GERMANS AND THE SoUTH.
Perhaps the most encouraging sign
for our future is to be found in the
fnct that the Germans seem ut last
thoroughly aroused to the advantages
presented by the South to the thrifty
and industrious immigrant. We see
it stated that Reuben Golding, Esq.
of Stokes County, N. c., has sold
his forge, situated OH Dan River,
with about 1000 acres of land at
tachcd, to a company of German
capitalists, who intend bringing a
colony of Germans to that County.
It is the intention Of the company to
go largely into the manufacturing
business. In Hamburg, they have
formed stock company, with n
capital OF $3.50, 900, for starting n
German colony in Florida. It is
expected that 90, 600 North Germans
can be directed thither in the course
of two years, which would make the
speculation an exceedingly successful
one. Tho Germans in Texas arc over
10000 III number, and it is estimated
that Mt least threc-fonrths OF them
arc engaged in agricultural pursuits.
Careful and intelligent observers be-
licve that at least onc-thirl Of the
whole cotton crop of Texas is now
planted and secured by their labor.

A CONSERVATIVE.


Mr.. EDITOR: It seems certain that
the radical nominee for Clerk of the
Court, cannot hold the Office, if
elected. It is apparent from the
letter Of Charles Sumner, of NIassa-
ohusetts, published in your paper q
day or two ngo, that any special up
plication for the removal of civil dis
abilities, will not bo favorably acted
upon until after the Presidential
election, when it is said general for
giveness of sins will be proclaimed.
Major Miller being diSfrauchised, on
account of military service rendered
to the Confederacy during the war,
or by election to offices of honor and
emolument held by him before the
war. to which he was elevated by the
votes of the srAite citizens of this
District, the radicals are absolutely
throwing away votes upon him. The
friends of Mr.. Calnan have q right to
feel aggrieved that his claims upon
the suffrages of the party have been
overlooked in favor Of q man, not
only thoroughly identified with the
rebellion, but diStranchised, disabled
from holding Office, if elected to it.
How can Maj. Miller serve the party :?

scarcely add that there is no truth in

fed himself with us, both by mar-
riage and pecuniary investments, and
has gained stronghold on the
