DISORDERS IN NORTH CAROLINA.

It appears that matters are not pro-
crossing very well in some parts of
North Carolina. The reconstruction
that has taken place there and is now
bringing forth such better fruits, is pre-
cisely the sort of reconstruction We
should have had in Virginia if the "New
Movement had net happily have been
originated by the Day Book, which gave
matters on entirely different turn. 1t
shohld not be lost sight of that at the
time we began to agitate the "New
Movement" the radicals were quite
sauguine that they had matters their
own way and designed to go-ahead and
reconstruct on their own basis, and that
many OF our own people were greatly
in despair of preventing the calamity,
while others were for organizing OPP
position on the plan of the "white
mans party" which would only have
been instrumental in securing more
effeotually to the radical element the
complete control Of the State and the
final confscation of the peoples proper
ty. As a slight insight into what we
have escaped in this State, by means of
the policy we pursued, we annex an
extract portraying the condition of
affairs in our sister State
1t was only last week that gov
eminent officials wrote of domestic
instruction in Florida, where it was
found, without calling for troops, i'm
possible TO enforce the revenue laws.
Io,day information came to hand OF
more formidable one in North Carolina,
where neither the Federal nor State
laws eau be enforced in two counties.
On Saturday the Governor issued pro,
clamation, threatening to call out all of
the military force Of the State, and
warning the desperadoes to lay down
their arms. In Senior and Jones coun-
ties various theits have been committed;
iails been forcibly opened, and the
prisoners taken thence have been MUIR
dered. An officer of tho law has been
waylaid and slain on the public high
way, and another officer Of the law has
been slain in the open day while en-
gagged in his ordinary avocations.
Private dwellings have been entered and
the occupants terrified, and some of
them whipped Or murdered. Others
haya baen shot or hanged, or cruelty
beaten, and the result is that, thus far,
civil law, though firmly asserted and
maintained, has not been adequate to
bring the insubordInate to punishme TENT.
In Chatham the Jail has been forcibly
opened and a prisoner, confined under
sentence of a court of the United States,
has been liberated, and is now at lar &c.
In Orange the Jail has been forcibly
opened and two prisoners taken out and
shot, one of whom has died of his
wounds. Three ether men have been
hanged nutil they were dead, one has
been cruelty mutilated, and others have
been whipped. Many citizens have
Been injured, insulted, and terrified
The University of the State has been
repeatedly invaded by bands of armed
men in disguise on horseback, and acts
OF violence have been there perpetrated
on unohending citizens and officers of
the law.

TO THE EDITOR oFTHE NEWS.

TO THE EDITOR OFTHE NEWS.
CHARLESTON, Tuesday, October 5.
The Courier's ''amepde" only places the writer
of the articles referred to In moreridculous
position than before, In writing OF matters Of
which he knows nothing. "He simply meant and
simply stated, in effect, that our jobbers should
make Baltimore their market" He would have,
for instance, our hardware houses, who import
direct their foreign goods, they certainly can be
imported to Charleston as cheaply as to Balti-
more,) stop importing their own goods and buy
them In Baltimore. He would have our shoe
houses, (some OF whom manufacture their own
goods. or great portion Of them,) stop this and
buy them in Baltimore. He would have our dry
goods jobbbers, (who import great portion OF
their foreign goods,) stop this and buy them in
Baltimore. So far as domestic goods are con-
cerned, we would like to have the Courler's man
point out any advantage Baltimore has over
Charleston in Offering inducements to even job
bers in Savannah or Wilmington. 1t Is well known
to business men that there are few goods manu-
| factured in and around Baltimore. Shoes anu
| boots an important item In the trade are manu-
factured almost exclusively East, in the neigh
borhood Of Boston. They can be shipped to
Charleston as cheap as to Baltimore. so with
other American made goods. Why should not
Charleston be made the distributing point for the
South instead of Baltimore? Baltimore has been
considered good coffee market. Coffee and
sugars can be imported as cheaply to Charleston
as there. The Blue Ridge Road will open to us
the Cincinnati and Louisville meat and grain
markets. Our own "City by the Sea" Mr.. Editor,
Is naturally the distributing point for the Atlantic
and Culf States the COnrier's man to the contra
| ry Notwithstanding.
This seasons business has been double that Of
any other season since the war. Instead OF
writing up other cities, let US build up our own.
MANY MERCHANTS.

views as to the wisdom of writing up Our own

TIE SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD
On Monday morning last work was commenced
at the shops of J. J. Dale Co., in Savannah, upon
the bridge intended to span the Savannah River
for the track Of the above road The bridge will
be built at these shops and fitted together in Sec
tons previous to its final erection. 1t Is thought
that six weeks will be required to complete the
work. The work of laying the rails from the
,three-mile post on the Central Railroad to the
bridge was commenced on Tuesday, the iron for
that purpose having already arrived by the snip
Screamer, from New York. II will, therefore, be
seen that the work is being rapidly pushed for
ward at both ends OF the line, and there Is now
every reason to believe that the assurance given
In the summer that the road would be in running
order By the first OF December will be realized.
