announces the arrival of some twenty or more i'm
migrants in that town, and says that others are OF
the way. The Newberry immigration Society GER

entitled to great praise for the earnest and business
like performance of its duties.
Contradictory Court Emanations.
The Supreme Court of North Carolina has
in recent case, decided the Stay Law Of that
State to be unconstitut iona and void. At the
same time it took occasion to express the opinion
that the Homestead Exemption law is valid against
debts created before it's enactment.
We do not like to seem disrespectfu to the high
est tribunal of sister State but the learned court
must have taken a cross.eyel view Of the constl'
tuition, as the arguments for and against either Of
these laws will apply equally as well to the other
Cotton Worm Exterminator.
An inventor in Louisiana has petitioned the
Legislature of that State to appropriate 100000
for the purchase of his patent cotton worm exter.
minator. The plan of the invention is to hang
small fish hooks, baited with eggs of the cotton
worm, upon each leaf of the plant. The worms,
being fond of this food, will, it is supposed kindly
consent to be caught on the hooks, and can be re-
moved as fast as they are caught.
An equally expeditions and much more simple
way of exterminating worms would be to catch
them by hand and mash them between two rocks,
or force grain of arsenic into the mouth of each
worm.
Won't Ride Together.
In consequence of the quarrel between Pres.
ident johnson and Gen. Grant, which occurred
in the course of the Stanton difficulty, both OF
these gentlemen are unwilling to come into such
close contact as to occupy the same carriage on
Inauguration day. This is mere point fetiquette,
and compliance with it would not at all prove the
existence of any particular friendship between the
parties. Still it is not an essential part Of the GER
emonies, thought is usually observed Gen. Grant
has precedent in refusing to ride with MIR. john
son. in the case of John Quincy Adams, who de-
clined to ride with Gen. jackson, when the latter
was to be inaugurated.
From the Church Militant.
The Columbus (Ga.) San states that the
closing hours of the Methodist colored Conference,
recently held in that city, were solemnized by a
pugilistic encounter between an enraged female
and an oficious deacon. Some books we're being
sold, when the female in question remarked that
lit was shame the price should be twenty-five
cents in Savannah and fifty cents in Columbus y
Upon this, the deacon undertook the duty Of keep
ing her quiet, when she pitched into him, pulled
his wool and ears, slapped mis- jaws and triumph
antly fought him out of the church. That deacon
is likely to be an advocate of free speech at reli-
gious assemblies hereafter.
Progress of Southern Manufactures.
The people of the South are waking up to a
knowledge of the fact that cotton goods can be
manufactured at considerably less cost in the South
than the North. New cotton factories are spring
ing up in or near most Of our cities and old ones are
being worked on more extensive scale than here
tofore. The Charleston Ncrs states that there
are several Large factories being built in South
Carolina several in Georgia, three or four in Ala
bama, as many in Mississippi, and even Florida
and Texas are moving in the same direction. y
These facts afford gratifying evidence of steady
advance in prosperity. They also point to fu-
ture, but not distant, independence OF other Sec
tions in this important branch of manufactures.
New Perfume.
- An exchange advertises new perfume, en-
titled, Loyal balm of thousand niggers. 1t is
manufactured expressly for parties desiring the
removal Of their political disabilities, and is war
ranted to remove the faintest scent OF treason
which may linger upon their garments. One vial
of this delicious extract, we presume, would quail
fy the fortunate possessor for any office within the
gift ofCongress, no matter how feroclously he may
have warred upon the dear old flag when the
phantom of secession was so nearly reality. Mo-
desty alone prevents distinguished gentlemen who
have sprinklcd its fragrance upon their patriotic
persons, from giving their names to testify to its
virtues but there is no doubt it has assisted in the
reconstruction Of many "last-ditch' secessonlst.
N. c. Agricultural Society.
The meeting of this Society, on the goth ul-
timo, was mainly of an intiatory nature, the prln-
cpal business being to reorganize and prepare tor
regular work in future. A committee was appoint
ed to confer with the Secretary of State and the
Agricultural Committees of the Legislature, with
reference to the organization Of the Agricultural
Bureau provided for by the State Constitution. A
previously appointed Committee reported the title
of the Society to the lands occupied by the Fail
Grounds to be good and acknowledged by the
Commissioners of the city of Raleigh. 1t was re.
solved that the Fair Grounds be put in order and
enclosed, and that the United States Government
be applied to for compensation for the use of the
grounds and nroperty of the Society since the war;
