4 LETTER FROM CoLoRED MAN.-Below
We give extracts from a letter to gentle
man Of this place, written by colored man
living IN Ohio, who went from this county
to that State several years before the war.
For obvions reasons we suppress the post
office he writes from, and all names, inclu-
ding his and the gentleman to whom he
writes. If any of our friends doubt the
genuineness of our extracts we are ready to
snow them the original or put them in the
way of seeing it. Our extracts are Uerba-
ii0g, but we have taken the liberty to cor
rect the photography and to iDterpolate in
brackets when the expression is vague

Mr. -- Most Esteemed Friend-I received
your letter sometime ago and you cannot ina

And when look over the list of yO1ng men with
whom | was raised, who have fallen on the battle
field, l cannot keep from shedding tears but
prOul to hear that they We're brave men.
Well Mr.. --, You anted to know what my
politics are. | am as firm I ever | am
Tor my country 1.-THE South y and ever will be-
This country OGt here, and as soon az l

might be expected, considering the hard times
= MIR r-, in regard to the negroes
coming out here They are not wanted here
for all the Radicals want with them out here is to
cheat them out of their labor, and they have no
further use for them. So think they had bet

for they are their best friends, after all, if they
but knew it. l hope times will get BETTER but not
until another war, think, we suppose the wri-

LAND AGESCY.-A correspondent from
Warren inform1 us that the Agency of Mr.
Van Syckle, Bound Brook, New Jersey, is
doing much to direct attention to North
Carolina. He says:
"The Jerseymen are beginning to come
out to North Carolina, to look at and buy
our lands. Mr.. Van Syckel, and his friend
from New Jersey, spent several days with
me last week, and were highly pleased with
oUr soil and climate, and numbers of them
wish to come and settle with us if they can
meet with suitable encouragement"
We hope to see many Jersey and
Pennsylvania farmer coming into our
State buying lands and making this
State a permanent home. We well
come al honest, true-hearte1. indus
trious farmers to come and set
tie among us. But we have no use for
carpet paggerS and scalawags, who come
to spy out our poverty and to make us
poorer. These otfice-seeking, carpet-bag
straugers-who seek office by cOrrupting
the negrOes-are worse than the locusts of
Egypt Without character or position at
home, corrupt and cOrrupting all within
their reach, they are a moral pestilence In
the country, which our people loathe as
they do cholera or yellow fever.
