| FORMIDABLE ORGANIzATIoN--Not only
in North Carolina, but in Georgia, and in
South Carolina, and in other Southern
States, the K. K. organization seems to be
complete, and determined to rule by yio-
lence. Sad, indeed, must be the condition
of our country when armed men in force
demand prison keys, take the prisoners and
execute them without the semblance of a
trial! For the sake of the fair name OF our
State, let these outrages end, and these un-
lawful bands be put down. 10 52H3al

tion, this arrangement would certainly be
better and cheaper than the periodical
efforts that are made TO start schools, GER
tainly- better than having to engage a
teacher or governess in the family, and
far better and cheaper than sending your
children away to school.
Let the people take this matter into
consideration. Let the different Town
ships entertain the suggestion. One,
two, or three schools perhaps in each
Township, would be about our estimate,
and this number could be settled ac-
cording to the convenience of different
neighborhoods.
We certainly think that the people of
the County are waking up to the impor-
tance of this matter, and by the organi-
zation of some such plan as the one pro-
posed, the blessings of good and
thorough education will he brought
home to all, brought down to suit the

We shall speak more Of this matter
anon, and would be glad to receive and
publish communications on the subject.

potic, and that IA rule based on the pro-
scription of full third Of the adult
males this third comprising two-thirds
of the property, with a very large share
of the natural ability, experience and in

is questionably republican. 1t may
do-nay, it muslin the immediate pre-
sence of formidable rebellion; it can
not be maintained indefinitely after that
rebellion has thrown down its arms Our
Southern Republicans arc quite free in
telling us what they must have, and how
impossible it is that they should live un-
der rebel rule; wc tell them, in .ugm,
that it is impossible that we should per-
petuatc a rule over the South, in which
the people OF the South, or any consider
able share of them, are denied voice
If VIC should attempt to do it, we should
simply sacrifice our asccndancy in the
North, and they can judge where this
would leave the Republicans Of the
South. We can do and dare much here
for equal human rights. We are shorn

Why tho time was once, when certain
mems opinions expressed, was tyranny
The poor mon of this country (and it is
to them we are writing) have seen the
time when they would PROSTATE them
selves 10 senseless homage and obedience
to the will and opinions of those whom
the world called rich those whom
wealth constituted leaders-this was ty-
ranny, this the only despotism we have
seen, and It has passed away.
The degree of confidence the ,nsn of
this country have had in the Impotence
of their own individual capacity was too
meagre, was insufficient, aud hence the
leadership recognized in others. The
time was---and we blush to say it-when
men were afraid to make known their
opinions, the course which their con-
science-the "Oracle Of Cod" pointed
out to them as the right one. They
would stifc the dictates of this wise
counselor-prefer the direst penance,
rather than express or advocate doc
trine which they knew would be antagon-
istic to the notions entertained by the
above mentioned class.
But til, school of experience, which
some one says, Byron we believe, is the
best of all possible schools, has taught
aud is teaching many to no longer depend
on those old leaders for guidance-they
are becoming conscious of the truth of
their town Immense importance in the
realms of space" and the wisdom of fol-
