IT is stated that half the eOlored
children in the North Carolina schools
are so nearly white that nobody can
tell to which race they arc the more
nearly allied. Since the war, how
ever, amalgamation has almost en-
tirely ceased, and the probabilities are
that hereafter less difficulty will be
experienced in determining which race
has the preponderance in any particu-
lar colored individual. Another in
teresting fact in connection with these
schools is, that about 10000 colOred
children have learned to read and
write since the war, while not ten
thousand whites have made the same
progress. In 1868, according to esti-
mates regarded as authentic, the ne
groes of North Carolina contribut> d
more money for educational purposes
than the whites. This is very cred
liable to the negroes. or discreditable
to the whites.

New YORK, July 2-The steam
ship Tibee, from San Domingo, brings
the following news, dated the 25th
ult.: The American steamer Hero,
which sailed from New York the I'd
for ST. Thomas, put into Samara for
supplies. She was lying under the
guns of the steamer Telegraph,
which would not allow her to proceed
to Samara. There was also another
American vessel, name unknown,
which had been seized by the Tele-
graph at Samara. The people were
pursuing their regular business, and
expressed the hope that the United
States Government would soon re-
lieve them from the menace Of this
piratical cruiser. The people Of the
whole Island are very anxious for
annexation to the United States.
Col. Fabers, Dominican Agent, is a

The Evansville, Henderson and Nash

We are grati6ed to be able to an
nounce that the recent meeting of
the Directors of this road in Hen
derson, aud the full exhibit Of its
affairs there made, promise to result
In its immediate completion. Con-
siderable dissatisfaction, which even
threatened to eulminate in positive
hostility to the road, existed in sew
eral localities, which are expected to
contribute still further towards its
completion, and fears were entertain
ed of the defeat of the enterprise
Notwithstanding the amount of money
already spent and work done. To
fail to finish the road is virtually to
squander all that has thus far been
paid out on its construction, fact all
who have subscribed cannot help
seeing. So clear is it that some
who had grown lukewarm and
indifferent have been aroused
to renew their exertions in order that
they may save what has already been
spent. When the road is completed
and the cars are seen running its en-
tire length, the counties and cities
which have subscribed literally, will
realize that their sacrifices have not.
been ia vain, in the growth and pros
perity which will everywhere be man
ifested. Tax payers will also realize
that though their burdens are heavy,
they are getting more than value re-
ceived in the rapid increase in the
value Of their property.
The proposition made by the off
GERS Of the road to secure the counties
making additional subser iptions by
depositing with them an equivalent
to the subscription or loan in first
mortgage bonds of the road, seems to
give general satisfaction, and many
who were opposed to voting addi-
tioRal subscriptions are now advo-
eating them withazeal
An order has been passed in Hen
dersOn County, submitting a PROPOSE
tiOn to the people to vote an addi-
tional subscription Of $4,000 on the
conditions above specified, the elec
tioR to take place on the first of Au-
gust at the same time the State elec-
tion is held. The Henderson Re
porter says there can no longer be any
doubt that the necessary subscription
should be made, and our information
is to the effect that it will meet with
little opposition from any source. We
hope that Christian County will fol
low the example set by Henderson,
and that another Summer viii not
pass away before the entire line Of
road is completed. Harmonious action,
by throwing aside local jealousies and
foolish suspicious, is all that is need :
ed now to secure the early completion
of the road

The Chicago papers are amusing
themselves over the expectations of
tie Cincinnatians a7 to the advantages
they will derive from their,new South
crn road. The Cincinnati Times
claims that the completion of the
road will open mp to their trade, in
Alabama alone, 7,O4O, 900 acres Of fine
timber lands, unsurpassed forests of
pine, oak, hickory, and other woods,
7,3G0.000 acres of wonderfully rich
and productive cotton lands, 3, ,357, 600
acres of grain aud cattle-gTowing
lands, and 100000 acres of as rich
mineral land as there is on the CONT
nent
THIS Chicago Journal thinks it is
not land but trade that Cincinnati
needs, and insists that it is very alb :
surd to talk of shipping the lumber,
cotton and cattle Of Alabama that far
north. Cotton would be further
from mark when it reached Cincin-
natl than when it was on the planta-
tion, and the lumber that floats down
the river will defy Southern compe-
tItiou. Chicago seems to forget that
she is continually shipping lumber
a. far south as Tennessee and even
North Alabama, aud that cotton
from points south of Memphis, on
tho Mississippi, is daily passing
tkcongh our city as we'll as Cincinnati.
We suspect there IS a good deal OF
the sour grape flavor In the criticisms
Of the Chicago papers.

The Alabama difficulty is not more
