LABOR HoNoRABLE.-Public sentiment is
fast coming round in the South to a more
just appreciation, not only of the dignity of
labor, but OF the want of dignity in idleness,
whether it result from pride or laziness 1t
is not enough that We should make labor
honorable, except with meagre number of
rich mems sons or children of parvenues,
who have soon sloughed off with their i'll
managed lavishness
We must have something more than this.
We must have work to make man re-
spectacle in society. But what if man is
rich; must he work2 Yes, he must, be-
cause lie is man and should be useful,
should set good examples, should multiply
the talents God has given him and should
make happy others around him, not so well
OH, by setting them advantageously to work.
But no man who brags of his strength in a
fight or wrestle, or of his agility as jumper
or dancer, should shirk work in corn or
potato field.
1t is contemplate, in this day of desola-
tion and poverty in the South, when the cry
of starvation goes into Congress for the
benefit of the whites as well as negroes, that
white men should haunt grog shops and
street corners in city or country, or even hug
the ewes OF houses, when so much rich land
is growing up in brush and weed for the
want OF men to till it. They can get the use
of 1T for next to nothing, and make thereon
a livelihood for themselves and their sisters
and mothers, who now perhaps have to sup
port them out of scanty saving and petty
earnings Have these men no shame? If
they have not, let the community put them
to shame and spew them out as worthless.
Z 1t is not only the idle negro that curses
the South; but it is the idle white man too.
That he curses the North, also, chiefly its
cities and towns. does not make it less true
of him here. There are are few among us
who cannot work, by reason of age and in
trinity; there are others who being crippled
or otherwise unfit for hard labor, should
I have lighter ofsintellectual tasks, and who
work courageously and steadily in them;
but multitude of those who are out of en-
ployment might find it easily if they were
not either falsely ashamed to work, or too
lazy to be useful To cure such, and to
renovate and reconstruct the South, we need
to make idleness dishonorable.- NorJoE

Interesting Table.

We have obtained from the Treasury De-
partment of the State tabular statement of
the valuation of Real Estate in North Caro-
lima made in the year 1868, as compiled from
the returns on file in that Office. The re-
turns from several of the counties have not
been received, though in these cases (marked
y we publish the statistics taken from the
Auditors report for 1868 under the valua-
ton of 1860 1t does not, however, very
materially change the figures. and we can
confidently rely upon the statement as max
ing fair exhibit of the valuation for 1868;
though we cannot vouch for the correctness
i of the assessment believing it be far below
the true value.
The county of Carteret is not embraced
in the statement. The last statistics QS6D
from said county are as follows: "Acres land
147,05O. Valuation of land $374,O13. Val
uation of Town Property $245, 353. Aggre-
gate valuation of Real Estate $619,3G6.
1t is due that we should state that this ia
BILE has been carefully compiled by Messrs.
d. W. Balm, G. W. Horner and A. D. Jen-
kins, the attentive clerks in the Treasury
Department. whom there are not three
better business men in the entire State SER

A LONG ABSENCE. Thirty six years az !, says
the Winston Sehtinel, q man living in this county
(then Stokes) wOs arrested for some violation of
the law. He was tied and placed on horseback
and started off to Germanton, then the county
seat Alter he was arrested his vile managed to
slip him knife, and on the way to prison he
cut his bonds, and being well mounted he made
good his escape. Nothing was heard from him
after his escape by his family. He had been
married but short time, and his wife mourned
for him MS one dead. A few weeks since an old
gray headed man stopped at the house where
she was living and inquired for her. She came
out, when he asked her If she knew him. She
told him that she had no recollection of ever
having seen him before. He made himself known
| as her long absent husband; and now, after a
separation of nearly forty years, they are again
living together as happily as newly married
couple, KS, sfz .Uf

Manures.

There are many kinds of manures, and
different modes of applying them The
manure from cows, and all animals that chew
the cud, is considered cold, and suited to
light soil; that of horses, hogs and poultry,
is hot, and best suited to. cold, heavy soil.
All new and fresh manure engenders heat
| during fermentation, and has tendency to
Tighten the soil; while old, rotten manure is
thought to render it more compact and firm.
A thick coat of hog-pen or barn-yard dung,
spread on garden, and turned in every
spring, will enrich, warm, and tighten the
ground more and better than any applica-
ton of any other manure.
Salt at the rate of six bushels to the acre,
sowed IN the spring, away from the salt
water spray near the sea shore, not only
promotes fertility, but is very useful in de-
stroying worms and slugs. t34 1855
Wood ashes, leached or unleached, may
be used as a top dressing with decided
benefit to most growing vegetables, espe,
cially onions and turnips e5s q
Plaster of paris, sown upon the growing
crop, is good for turnips, beans, cucumbers,
and all broad leayed plants. al 29t
Lime facilitates the decay of vegetable
substances and is hest suited to a sour, heavy
soil. 1t ought never to be mixed with ami
NAL manure, as the one will destroy the
other. lI Usa.. 1905 iI,s14s g,,ed p
Guano is too powerful to be used alone
with safety, and must not be allowed to come
directly in contact with seeds or plants It
may be mixed with ten parts loan, or CT al
dust, and scattered very thinly around grow
ing vegetables, and dug in just before rain
or it may be stepped in the proportion of
one pound to ten gallons of water. and the
liquid applied once week; bnt it should
be remembered that it is almost sure de-
struction to any thing newly transpanted.
Its effects are most favorable in moist seasons.
Poudrettc is very active manure to start
early crops, but is not lasting. 1t is neces
sary to apply it the second time, and it
should always be placed under the surface
Liquid manure, from the yard, or the
drainage of the dung hill, should be diluted
with water before it is applied to growing
plants, otherwise it will be apt to, burn
them. $500
Compost is mixture of carths and ami
NAL manures, ashes SCOT, charcoal dust,
lime, salt, plaster, urine, straw, weeds, and
various other fcrtllizing substances in differ
ent combinations, thrown into heap, to
remain till deconposed. 1t forms very
excellent manure for many kinds of garden
vegetables. Compost heaps and all ether
manures ought to be kept under cover.

q II seems that Josiah Turner, wanting
first class sensation wherewith to illumine
his Saturdays Sentinel, publishes foul Sc
ries of insnuations against several respecta-
bile members of the Senate and other officers
of the State government. The statements,
so far as the gentlemen themselves are con-
cerned, are entirely harmless, but they are
striking evidence of the desperate strait the
copperhead organ is in to hatch up some
thing to the discredit of the men whom the
State has honored with seats in the LeSlsia-
ture. 1t would be difficultjust now to per-
suade the people of North Carolina that
sucb men as the Sentinel assails are guilty OF
the things of which they are charged. The
recommendations to virtue and honesty Of
the sertiud are good, but they are entirely
neutraIized by the example of It's Editors.
The subject of Legislative morality is peril
GUS for such persons as Josiah Turner, a man
ofloose morals. stilted bombast and garish
nonsense. The recent editorial performances
of the editor of the Sentinel are what have
been Yulgarly called 'prose run mad" If
the Sentiners editor learns to think Of his
subject, to regard the same always, even in
his most ornamental passages, to write ra-
tionally, to tell the truth occasionally, we
will venture to promise him a longer term
in his new profession than many of his fell
low Democrats predict for him. On the
whole, it would seem that the accusations
against the Legislature, which have appeared
from time to time in the Sentinel, have lost
their point, and we recommend the Demo-
cratic papers of North Carolina (the Senti-
mel included), to invent something which
shall at least have the merit of freshness and
novelty.

the hands of Sheriff Lee, of this county. The
horse was found in tn possession OF Eli Dampier,

against gang of horse thieves, obtaining thereby
his own discharge from prosecution by the Dis

with Mr.. Hinnant's horse. He is suspicioned of
