increase in value while bestowing wealth
upon their possessors If our planters and
farmers can lac brought to realize the i'm
portauce OF their occupation not only upon
their own welfare, but upon the prosperity
necessity of raising its standard. The
meetings of educated and intelligent men.
the discussions Of agricultural subjects, the
reading of agricultural works and maya
zines, the application of theory to prac-
tlca. will sooner accomplish this desirable
end than by any other available means.
We nre therefore a we'll wlsher to our agri
cultural societies and publications. Let
discussions aud articles be practical, in
structiye and explicit. Avoid gossip, for
agricultural gossip is as little useful as
social gossip, and may become as mis-
ckievous. Give facts, but do not omit
causes. The names of successful farmers,
or the kind Of crops or the size and GUAM
tity of the produce, may do to satisfy a
laudable curiosity, but the system of Guilt
vation, the character of the soil, the causes
which produced the result, with common
sense applications thereupon, is what is
needed and that only which will confer
real benefit to the listener or reader. By
such means agriculture will soon again be-
come the cornerstone Of Southern pros
perity and power.

A descriptive list of the burial places
of the remains of Confederate soldiers,
who fell in the battles of Antietam
South Mountain, Monocacy, and other
points in Washington and Frederick
Counties, in tho State of Maryland, has
been published in pamphlet form by the
direction of His EXcellency Oden Bowie
Governor of Maryland. For the infor-
nation of all interested, it is deemed
proper to state the circumstances which
led to the publication of the pamphlet in
question. The charter of the Antietam
National Cemetery, granted by the Le-
glslature OF Maryland, at the January ses-
sion of 1864, and amended and re-enacted
at the January session of 1866, provides
for the purchase, enclosing. and orna-
menting of ten acres of land-a part of
tho battlefield of Antietam-as a burial
and final resting place for the soldiers
who fell III the battle of Antietam. It
declares it to be the duty of the trustees
of the respective States, who may join in
the corporation, to remove the remains
OF all the soldiers who fell ut that battle,
and have them properly inferred in the
aforementioned grounds" The remains
of the soldiers Of the Confederate army
to be buried in part of the grounds Sc
parate from those of the Union army ~
Noble action and one worthy to be
patronized by other sections where there
are soldiers buried. There, side by side,
will rest the men in grey and the men in
blue in quietness and repose, without one
rutfled sound to disturb their peace.
There their honored bones will moulder
together in the common dust and in
after years the passer by can point to the
spot and say there lies the men who lost
their lives in their country's battles. 1t
also provides that the grounds shall be
devoted in perpetuity as burial place
for the dead of said battle, and rest and
remain in the State of Maryland in fee
simple, in trust for all the States which
may participate in the work by their ap-
propriations.

SHALL THE CONFEDERATE DEAD BE
HoSoEED ?--The Washington cores
pondent of the Boston AdceytiScy writes
as follows to that journal:
There is quite difference of opinion
i'll the Grand Army of the Republic in
this section regarding the decoration of
the graves of Confederate dead. Post
No. OF this city resolves unanimously
that while we hold no malice against
the dead who fell in attempting to haul
down our flag, aud thereby endangering
the nation, we will not divide our honors
by decorating Confederate graves. and
thereby taint the character oi those who
sacrificed their lives that their country
might live Post No. 10, in Pennsy Iva,
MIA, issues circular, saying that it has
decided not to pass by the graves OF
Confederates sleeping in our lines, but
10 divide each year between blue and
grey the first floral offerings of q common
country. We have no powerless foes
Post No. 10 thinks OF the Southern dead
only as brave men.

JERCsALEM.-It is stated that turn
pike road is now in course of construc-
ton between Jaffa, the old Joppa, on the
sea-coast, and Jerusalem, distance of
thirty-six miles. The engineering is
very rude, but part of the road is already
finished, over which is running an omni-
bus, driven by New England stage
driver, one of the survivors of the Anne
rican colony at Jaffa. The Turkish Go
vernment has collected $3.50, 600 to pny
for the road, and also compcls the inha-
bitants to work upon it at very low rates
of wages. Toll-gates have already been
established. Jatfa is only accessible in n
calm, but with this disadvantage its ex-
ports of cotton, fruit, oil and sesame
seeds amount to $4,000 per annum.

Indians, when desperate fight ensued,
lasting seven hours. Thirty Indians

1t may be truthfully said that the
greatest of all blessings is health, for
without it, it is impossible to enjoy the
life that God has given us. a healthy
stomach, q good digestion, good con
science are requisites SO important in a
physicaland moral point of view to human
happiness, that we presume no one will
question it. To all alike is health essential
for life's enjoyment and pursuits; to old
and young, to rich and poor, to man and
woman. Are you in search of wealth?
health is essential; do you desire Office
and worldly hours? of what avail would
these be without health? The beauties OF
spring, the song of birds, tho deep blue
skies, all have poetic fascination with
the pure in mind and body but what are
they without health? To say with the
poet, as one feels the throbs of health
full heart: "This world is very lovely! Oh,
that 1 may live" And so to continue

by the colored children attached to the
Howard School, and prayer, the graves
were decorated.

The velocipede mania, judging from
the crowd in Janney's Hall day and
night, far from abating, continues and
increases New notifications of the orr
ginal idea are all the time being made,
and the rider evidently enjoys the e1er-
else, while tho spectators admire the
grace of the action, and the skill that is
evidently called into play. The medical
men have entered n caveat against the
new amusement, as they have, we be-
lieve, against every active amusement
that ever came up. 1t seems, now, that
riding on the vclocipedc produces her
MIA. This is simply ridiculous. We
should like to know what is the proper
ton of cases of hernia actually tracea-
bic to the use Of the velocipede compared
with the number Of these machines that
have been sold. In some parts of the
country physicians are beginning to use
the velocipede in making their round of
visits; these are gentlemen who do not
believe in the necessarily fatal result Of
for the new mode of action. We heard
also, lately, of two gentlemen who were
making afternoon calls ut their friends
country homes on their velocipedes. On
dismounting, they brought their beasts
into the vestibule. 1t is observed that
these machines, after long continued use
come to have look of intelligence, rs if
they were developing into something
sentient.

numerous proolamations sent forth from
military headquarters, to wit, the Cover
nor's office in this city.
The contrast between the Raleigh of this
week and of the one just past is very great
so much so as to be almost painful.
Then, everything was one scene of hustle
and activity, while now you feel like one
who treads alone some whiskey shop de-
serted, whose lights are fed and whose
guests are all dead-drunk or departed.
The entire city seems to have sunk asleep
last Sunday, exhausted with its unusual
activity of the week previous and to have
not yet been awaked for breakfast, in
consequence of there being no chickens
left to crow for daylight, the last old roos-
ter having found honored burial in a huge

Cape Fear Agricultural Association Fair


We are glad to learn that the grounds of
the Cape Fear Agricultural Association are
now nearly completed. Another week will
find everything ready for the Fair, which
opens on the 10th of November. The Ex-
ecutive Committee have labored faithfully
and earnestly to forward the work. and
they are now fully repaid in witnessing the
almost completed condition of the Grounds,
Everything will be ready for the reception
of articles, and ample provision will be
made for the care and proper exposition Of
everything which may be received.
Articles are already being forwarded,
and letters are being constantly received
making inquiries and promising articles
for exhibition. We hope all our people
will forward such articles of merit as they
may have. Let us all unite to make the
Fair complete success. It can be done
if our people unite to bring it about.
There is nothing moro calculated to de-
velope and improve our section than these
Agricultural, Commercial and Mechanical
exhibitions about to be inaugurated under
the auspices of this Association. No citi-
zen, regardless of his means or business,
can or ought to be uninterested in their
success, without detriment to his own well
fare.
From every quarter we have abundant
evidence of large numbers of people who
will visit us on the occasion Of the Fair.
From abroad and from remote parts Of our
own State q large number of articles and
animals will be exhibited. But we are de-
sirous that our own immediate section shall
not be backward in this matter We ask
that any Of our citizens who have articles
Of merit will not fail to exhibit them All
cannot take premiums, but everything
creditable which may be on exhibition not
only adds to the interest of the occasion
but gives some insight into the industry
and energy of the people. Their absence
will likewise cast reflection upon our citi-
zens Let us again urge upon our people
not only to be present themselves but to
bring with them something for exhibition.

The Proclamation Again,

The recent proclamation of Governor
HOLDEN is certainly one of the most re-
markable productions that ever emanated
frol- the Chief Magistrate of any State or
Nation in any age. It is remarkable in
that its author scarcely makes any pretence
of concealing its partisan character
INFINITELY detailing a series of acts well
known to have been committed under the
gravest provocation, he studiously avoids
any reference to that provocation. He
stands forth simply as the advocate of that
party which he terms 1.-The friends of the
Government. 1t is we'll known that the
negro who was shot and two of those who
were hung in Orange, had set fire to barns
and stables at three different places on the
same night ; that the whole years crop of
those three white men, with their stock,
was consumed; that one of the white citi-
zens was so overcome by the destitute con-
dition in which he found himself so sud-
denly, that in his despair he committed
suicide. It is we'll known also. that the
other negro who was hung was persistent
in avowing his intention to commit rape
upon respectable white girl near whom
he lived. It is stated also that within the
last ten days negro committed a rape
upon white woman in Chatham, for
which he was killed 1t is we'll known
also, that Mr.. James Haughton, a highly
respectable citizen of that county. was
on Saturday night shot from his horse by
negroes in ambush. Our readers are ia
miliar with the state of affairs in Jones and
Lenoir counties also. The murder of Col.
Nethercntt, as we'll as that of the
Foscue family, is still unavenged.-
The negroes who were taken out of the
Lenoir jail and killed, suffered the Just
punishment for the crime of committing q
rape upon white woman. Yet none of
these acts does Governor HOLDEN think
proper to enumerate or to characterize az
