THE REED CANE OF THE CARoIINAs-The
Richmond Dispatch contains an interesting lead
ing article on the subject of the availability of
the reed OF the canebrakes, (arundinaria meros-
perma,) sometimes used for fishing poles. This
cane being subjected to the explosive force of
steam, is converted into a long fibre, which can
be cleansed by the application of cold water.
1t then presents a valuable article of commerce,
which can be baled like cotton. 1t is now sold
in that form in the Eastern States at $40 per ton,
to be made up into wall paper, and to be mixed
with Manila for wrapping paper; also for mix
turc with wool to make roofng-felt, and various
other manufactures. l9si.lsa trag s.1g .1:r5 a.
1t is proposed to export the fibre to England
in large quantities, there being nothing in that
country so cheap which can be used for the
coarser kinds of paper. 1t is estimated that pa
per box boards can be made at Richmond, Va,
from the steam blown cane fibre at S25 per ton.
If that be so, the manufacture of that article
will, doubtless, be transferred from the North to
the South.
The process of disintegrating the cane by the
explosive force of steam, is monopoly held un-
der various patents by the American Fibre Com
pany, New York organization. $50.
The cane is to be blown at Norfolk and sent
to Richmond, &c. sfI :, ,-asr...,-,
q 1t would appear from the facts stated id the
article above referred to, that one of the most
important of the resources of the South is the
immense crop of cane which has heretofore been
useless. The cane is superintendent upon the
edges of navgable waters on the Southern sea-
board and on the Mississippi. 1t is inexhausti-
BILE, and can be obtained cheaper'than any other
fbrous substance in the world. ~ 80
The Cape Fear Fibre Company, at Whining
ton, North Carolina, obtain the cane from tie
Cape ear river, which, with its tributaries are,
it is said, sufficient to supply thousands Of tons
daily for all time to come. This appears to be
an important subject for the consideration of
those gentlemen who are devoting their energies
to the development of the South. ~. :. - r

FARMERS READ.-The March number of the
CAROLINA FARMER is a gem of topographic
beauty, and is filled with an unusually large
number of readable and interesting articles.
We are glad to see that North Carolina can af-
ford such asplendid contribution to the agricul-
tural literature of the day. Every farmer in
the South shoula subscribe to some good agri
cultural publication; and we know Of none bet

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT AND THE
DEMocRAcY.-The Old North State. on the
subject of the ratification of the fifteenth
Amendment by the Legislature of North
Carolina, says: aaa.
The course of Messrs Osborne Love, Jarvis,
Hodnet, Argo and other Conservatives, who
spoke and voted for the amendment is, in our
opinion, worthy of high commentator. They
have proven by their acts that they are ready to
make any reasonable sacrifice as an offering up
ON the altar of peace, and the people will hail
them with the plaudits of 'well done thou good
and faithful servant" What those Senators and
Represen tatives promised themselves who made
long speeches against the amendment, as did
Messrs. Robbins of the Senate and Malone of the
House, we cannot tell. If the speeches to which
We have referred were merely made for Bun
combe, the speakers will most probably find
themselves mistaken as to the reception they
Will meet with at home. s.4 4
IMPORTANT APPRoPRIATIoN.-1t will sureybe
gratifying for the people of North Carolina to
know that Congress has appropriated the gen.
erous, but much needed, sum of $50, 600, to re-
build the Light House, at Cape Hatteras, on our
coast. I'D. 'T li.iHsa las t..r l.,-;
In commercial point of view, says the New
I1aeS, lnls appropriation cauhot OUT prove OF
immense value. 1t will tend greatly to lessen
the dangers and difficulties of passing the Cape,
or entering the Inlet. It may well be estimated
to be hundred thousand dollars advantage to
New Berne alone.
To our representative in Congress, Hon. Da-
vd Heaton, great credit is due for the passage OF
the bill in the House, where it originated.
