THE APPROACHING ELECTION

1t may seem premature to offer our
readers any advice as to their action in
an election, which, though authorized,
has not yet been ordered. We do hope.
however, that our felsow-citizens will
make up their minds to take part in the
election whenever it comes, and that
those who can, will register, aud will
vote. We can not deprecate the result
OF an election, if, having the opportuni-
ty. we take no steps to bring about
different result. The value Of one vote
cannot be over-estimated; that one vote
may decide the destiny of this State, and
place proper or improper candidates in
official position.
Do not act upon any 6 do nothing"
policy. Exercise all the rights and priv
ileges of an elector which you may COM
mand. no matter how insignificant they
may appear to you. You may not vote
for candidate who is obnoxious to your
fellow citizens, and hostile to their in
terests, but you indirectly advance such
men into power by not voting against
them. By voting, however, you have
done all in your power, and if the bal
lot shall pronounce a verdict against
your own wishes and convictions, you
WlA not have yourself to blame. Regis
ter then, if you can, and vote if you can.

VEGETABLE TRAIN.

The authorities of the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad started a special
freight train for vegetables on Monday
afternoon, to be run daily, SUNDAYS
excepted,) leaving Wilmington at 8 D.
m, and connecting with the Seaboard
freight, giving an immediate and direct
outlet to the vegetables and fruit that
Will be raised along the line of this road.
This is something that was sadly need :
ed last year, and as the trucking busi-
ness has been more extensively entered
into the present year, this enterprise
Will meet with hearty support. The
Wilmington Journal thus speaks of it ::
This enterprise will not be too soon
tor the shippers. We visited the truck
farm of friend on yesterday, and he
will be prepared to make very large
shipment of radishes by the first train,
and will follow by daily shipments dur
ing the week. This crop is very fine
and ready for transportation. There
are three or four acres of radishes, aud
the yield will be enormous, and the
quality of the vegetable such as to COM
mand the very highest price"

Scalawag, my poor friend you have
got your thirty pieces of silver. Enjoy
them to your hearts content; but re-
member you have fixed the brand of
Cain and the name of Judas on your
latest posterity. Ali you might have
spared them this deadly shame, this
lasting disgrace. But you loved your
self too well.-Dr. Bagby's Native
Virginian.
1t is precisely because of this self
love that Scalawag hungers after the
aesh-pots and yearns towards the fish
baskets. "What," cries he, "has pos
terity ever done for me that I should
care button about casting disgrace or
shame on those who come after me 2"
And he clinks the silver, when he can
get it, and congratulates himself on his
common sense which raises him above
Bourbous and -Nothings .-Norfolk
Virginian.
From the manner in which Mozis
Addums pitched into "the boys and
poets" Of the Bourbon press some time
since, in his defence of the ''new move
ment," we infer that the Doctor design
ed to apply the term "Scalawag" to
them in this case, for their well-known
habit of taking the "siver" from the
Bourbon "when they can get it,, for
thesr Swiss-Gke services in ':ventilating
certain ideas" for pay, just as we'll
known editor of that kind in Petersburg
lately admitted to the Norfolk Journal
that that course influenced his produce
tons. OF course the editor of the Pc
tersburg Index was not obtuse"
enough to make such damaging adj

General Grant, and which tho latter
said we ought to vote down? He is
either for these clauses or against them

them he is not in accord with the Pres
ident and Congress in their policy to-
wards Virginia; for they would never
have given us the privilege of voting
them out if they desired them to be

turns around and proposes bill author
izing the very thing he opposed-and
then, upon the top of that, votes for the
constitution as whole, shows a genius
for corrupt intrigues worthy the hero
of "the missing letter." Such men we
have not been accustomed to in plain
sailing Virginia. In one word, if Wells
have not done what be claims to have
done, he is not man of truth; if he
has, he is such a shuffler, double-dealer
and intriguer that no confidence can be
placed in him. In either case, he is of
all men the very last who should be
elected Governor of Virginia.

HON. CLINTON L. COBB, M. G.

A writer in tie Raleigh Standard
pays the following handsome encomium
to the representative in Congress, from
the first North Carolina District:
One member of Congress, perhaps the
youngest in the House, was peculiarly
distinguished by his courtesy and kind
ness to all applicants, aud the earnest
and devoted zeal with which he pressed
the lust claims of his constituents. l
mean the Hon. G. L. Cobb, from North
Carolina, although Mr.. Cobb had no OPP
portunity in the short session of Con-
gress now closed of making speeches, or
exhibiting his powers in debate, yet his
perfect truth and consistency, his steady,
unwavering support of every measure
proposed for the strengthening of pub
lie credit, the distribution of national
capital to Southern States, the removal
of disabilities from Union men, and the
advancement of liberal and equal rights
for all citizens, have gained him the
marked appreciation andfriendship of the
leading men of the Republican party,
who rejoice to see that again, as in times
gone by, the good old North State is

TIRED OF NEW SERVITUDE.

The Richmond Dispatch says: Fields
Cook, rejecting the Impotence of the
colored people in their relation of servi-
tude to the carpet baggers, has again
declared himself candidate for Congress
in opposition to Porter. Fields gave car
pet-bagisn home thrust on Monday
evening on the Square. He compared it
to the devil in his contract with Jack,
as Fields stated it. One year old cloven-
foot gave his partner all the top Of the
crop, and grew potatoes; which, not CIV
ing satisfaction, the next year the part
ner was awarded all that part under
ground, and the devil raised cabbages
thus showing that in all his dealings
with the negro the carpet Dagger bags
everything. The negroes themselves,
long ago, gave another striking illustra-
ton OF this carpet bag division. Thus:
Ole-ang Kate, the garden gate
She sitt the meal, she GIN me de husk;
She bake de bread; she gim me de crust;
She fry de meat, she GIN me de skin.

Friend Hathaway,
In the course Of my peregrinatioDs,
particularly in this Navy Yard, I find a
strong desire prevalent among the me-
ohanics and workingmen generally, for
some prominent Journal in this section,
to act as their champion in the despe-
rate struggle between capital and labor
now agitating the public mind. Feel
ing interested in the success of your pa
per | will presume to suggest the pro-
priety Of your acting as pioneer in this
enterprise, and am fully pursuaded, you
can secure hos of friends. Advocate in
prominent and telling leaders, the con-
tinuance O. the eight-hour law without
reduction of wages &C., and you secure
the admiration, friendship and esteem
of every workingman who reads a pa-
per.
Very Respectfully, &c.
Ia response to the above, and to VEN
tilate our own notions about mechanical
pursuits, and mechanics and working
men generally of the South we have pre-
pared one or two OF a series ofarticles we
design publishing; the first of which we
shall give in our Saturdays issue. Be-
ing an independent mechanic ourself,
We shall preserve our independence in
discussing a subject which we deem Of
so much consequence to the future of our
native State; and We wish it were pos
sible that every Southern mechanic
could hear what we have to say, not
that there is any great wisdom in what
we shall be enable to tell them, but as
general thing, we have observed that
they have only been talked to as a
class where somebody's ak was to grind,
and in that case the language used to-
wards them has been that of the dema-
gogue in pursuit Of their favors,--or
their votes, which is the same thing.
We shall be no ways ''mealy mouth
ed" and those who don't want to hear
some disagreeable truths mixed up with
some that may be more agreeable had
best not read our productions on the
subject.

From the Portsmouth Gazette.

IHE w AGES OF LABOR.
we have been examining lately some
statistical statements connected with
the wages of labor, which suggest views
OF Soma intarast to working men.
1t is undeniable that the prices of pr o.
visions and nccessaries of life are unu-
sually, and we believe artiticially high ;
caused partly by speculation in many
articles, and partly by the depreciation
of the currency; but then it must also
be admitted that the condition of the
working men is not SO good as ii was
before the war, although their wages
are greater, measured in gold, than they
were in 1s60-61. The pay for unskilled
mechanical labor has increased so per
cent, and Of skilled mechanical labor
go per cent. but this is not in proper
! trcn to she general increase in the living
expenses of family Of IS per cent.
Then the general advance in rents may
be put down as over 100 per cent. in
1869, as compared with the rents paid
for the same tenements in 1860.
We say the price of necessaries adds
to the difficulties of living among the
laboring men. In 1859-60 barrel of
-four cost in gold, 1918, in 1868-69,
the cost per barrel is about STATS in
currency.
In regard to the article of salt, Mr..
John Pool, United States Senator from
North Carolina, states that the fisheries
on that coast are scarcely attended with
as much profit as before the war, be-
cause, among other reasons, the cost of
Irvine and salt has been largely increased,
the latter having advanced in North
Carolina somewhat more than fifty per
cent. The product of these fisheries is
transported sometimes to Philade lphia,
but more frequently to Baltimore, and
the interest OF those of the laboring clas-
ses 10 those cities who desire fish for
food is Of course affected in the increase
of the price of Irvine aud salt
When such is the case with the nee
essaries of life, there can be very little
room for luxuries in tho families of the
workmen on wages. But, perhaps, self
denial in times like these, NAV induce
habits of economy, by which industri-
GUS men may profit in the time to come.
1t fought to be the aim of every family
to own a homestead /; by which means
the yearly drain for rent may be avoid
ed, leaving an overplus for substantial
comtors and elegancies of household |
furniture We should commend Coop
eratlve Companies by which for eight or |
ten years g rent, the title to home
stead may b. obtained.
But, aooveSll, laborers should while
active work iass, lay by some provision
for seasons of sickness and cessation
which after all is My just forethought
for subsistence, ant only the exercise of
the prudence whic. every good man
should always adop to keep the wolf
from the door of those yho are depend
ent upon him.
