cause.

The present condition Of North Caro-
lima is most striking illustration Of the
failure OF Radicalism and Radical recon
structicn. North Carolina had not SUI,
fered as much materially rs many of the
other Southern States by the war. TO be
sure Sherman left a barren track il tie
rear of his army bat fortunately he
traversed only limited portion of the
State. The depredations of the Federal
troops in Eastern North Carolina were
limited to small sections Of the country
Our soldiers who had followed the fortunes
of the Confederate flag from Bethel to
Appomattox Court House had done so
with credit to themselves and the State
They returned home TO reeuperate their
lost fortunes and were true to the obliga-
tions which devolved upon them by the
result of the war. Whatever Of submits
sion, aye, of humiliation the General Gov
eminent equired of them, they acquiesced
In without protest. except that which fur
rowed their brows and burned their hearts
with remorse. Whenever dishonorable
propositions were referred to their decis-
ion, they were proudly and scornfully re
iected.
Under the manipulations of Congress
and by force Of the military the chosen
servants of Rndicalism were placed over
North Carolina at a time when peace
and order reigned throughout the State
and our citizens looked hopefully to the
future. JONATHAN WORTH, a venerable.
honest and wise statesman, true Norh
Carohniaa, high toned, honorable gen
tleman, was Governor of the State. Our
Judiciary were learned and incorruptibIe
lawyers, ouI General Assembly wsfe CEN
slble, honest men, who were faithful to
the State, loyal citizens of the United
States, whose aim and purpose was the
welfare Of North Carolina. Our county
and local matters, where not interfered with
by the military, were managed by citizens
interested in the good government of our
towns and counties. To suit the necessi-
ties of the Radical party change was
ordered. Mr. HOLDEN was elected Gov
yernor by nearly twenty thousand majority;
the Judiciary was filled, with one excep-
,tion, by Radicals. The Legislature was
Radical by more than a two-thirds ma
lority. Three fourths of the counties AMI
towns elected Radical officials. All de-
partments of the State government were
in full accord, and all were Radical &c the
~ straitest Sect" There was never more

a New dodge -

Holden is a man of genius: true his ge-
MUS is that of Jonathan Wild, and his au-
dacity is equal to snything but an adven-
ture on Hownslow Heath. He has attemp-
ted the role of dictator In North Carolina,
and in company with Littlefield and sach
like men, has managed to bring that mag
nifcent Commonwealth to the verge OF
ruin.
The exactions of the dominant party and
the Loyal League, of which he is the head,
have been equal to those OF the Court IN
der Louis XIV; and as the license of that
age produced its reaction, SO the rule of
Holden and his creatures promises to bring
about great revulsion of sentiment in
North Carolina
Holden sees this. Nothing could show
this more plainly than the following para
graph, taken from his paper, the Standard
That journal says:
eve repudiate the Legislature as body,
for its acts have been evil.
"We repudiate those false and unworthy
Republicans, who by uniting with the
Democrats, gave those maEgnants con-
troll Of the Legislature"
Now, with the consummatc art for
which he has always been notorious, he
repudiates the Legislature, and charges
that the Democratic minority is RESPONSE
BILE for the condition Of affairs In the State.
In other words, he has sucked the orange
and now throws the skin at his honest
enemies. This is worthy the artful dod-
ger, but no one will be deceived by it, and
Holden and ''the hands, will be held res
ponsible for the present condition OF the
once opulent and magnificent Common
wealth which has been so renOrseleSsly
plundered. Norfolk Virginil0a.

The RosIs BILL amendment reported as
having been introduced in the Senate by
Dr. Murphy on Monday. is intended, we
learn, to do away with the unjust exaction
now in existance requiring every barrel of
rosin to be weighed here. The amend
ment proposes to make it optional with
the buyer and seller as to whether the
rosin shall be weighed, and if it should not
be weighed then no fee can be exacted
for weighing as is now allowed. This is
the new footing on which the amendment
proposes to place the matter-a footing
more just towards the manufacturers and
which requires the payment OF fees Only
when work is performed.

FIRE AT SNIITHvILLE.-We learn that the
stable and barn attached to the premises
Of Mr.. John Swain, the Sheriff of Bruins
wick, situated short distance outside of
the limits Of SmithvilIe, were consumed
by fire Monday night last. Two horses
and a yoke If oxen persisted in the flames.
a buggy, carts, wagons and quantity of
peanuts Were also consumed. The fire
occurred in the dead of night, and is sup
posed to have been the work of an incen-
diary. One Of the horses succeeded in his
agonizing struggles in getting out of the
burning stable and jumping over fence,
but only to die from his injuries almost in
stantly. The incerdiaries merit severe
punishment.

EXTENSIVE CONFEDERATION IN MARION

EXTENSIVE CONFEDERATION IN MARION
A MAN LOSES HIS LIFE IN THE FLAMEs.-An
extensive cOnhagration occurred in Marion,
S. c., on the ". & M. r. r. late Monday
night, or early yesterday morning, which
destroyed some eight or ten houses and
stores, occupying an entire square. The
fire originated in the store of Mr.. Clark,
and soon spread itself with fearful rapidity
to the surrounding buildings. The Court
House near by caught several times from
the flames, but was extinguished through
the exertious of the citizens. The fire is
supposed to have been the work of an in.
cendiary, and has laid almost desolate the
little town of Marion, destroying the plin-
cipal business portion and causing loss
OF about $40, ZOO. This was covered by
insurance to the amount of about $25, 900.
But this loss is as nothing compared
with sad occurrence during the progress
of the fire byawhich Mr.. I. Iserman, an old
citizen of Marin, lost his life in his humane
exertions to rescue LADY from the flames.
| Believing that female was asleep in the
upper story of one of the buildings then on
Ere, he rushed up the stairs to save her.
In reaching the third story he found that
the lady was not there; then attempting to
return he found escape impossible from
the smoke and flames which rendered the
whole stairway impossible. Rushing to q
window, he was seen by the crowd below
who cried out to him to jump to the
ground, and he in return begged them to
interpose something to break the violence
of his fall. just at that moment key OF
powder in the lower floor of the building,
occupied as store, exploded and shivered
he whole structure, and the unfortunate
man was lost in the burning ruins. The
next morning only his bones were found
among the smonldering embers where the
house had been. This sad event has nat
urally cast a gloom over the whole CON-
munity of Marion, and coupled with the
pecuniary loss causes great distress.

LessrS. Editors Il read with a good
deal of interest an article in your issue Of
the 18th instant headed Wilmington's
Material Interests" in which is the follow
ing remark Wilmington's future is more
bound up with the fate of the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad than
all her other works Of internal improve
ment"
This is q fact SO evident as to require
no proofs, and is we'll calculated to excite
surprise that the people of Wilmington
have been SO long Indifferent and careless
on a subject of such vital importance to
them.
We are aware of the difficulties with
which the road has had to contend, but
We think that the same energy and zeal
which other cities have exhibited under
circumstances equally as unfavorable,
would have resulted in the completion of
the road, at least to Charlotte, some years
ago. Look, for example, at the great
cities of Chicago and st. Louis, not to
mention others, which have gone on con-
structing road after road. perhaps in a
spirit of rivalry, until from mere villages
but q few years ago, they now rank
amongst the grandest cities of the world.
We do not suppose the grand and COM
pete system of roads connected with those
cities was effected without outside aid.
but do suppose, indeed know, that their
citizens took the lead, that by their zeal,
energy and liberality, they were successful

Of the rights of freemen and to impose
degrading restrictions upon those whom
we know to be most worthy Of every trust?
IF we did not bleed at the close of the war

we believed Tight-although the axe or
the halter was not visited upon the noblest
among us, is it forgotten that we have

Ezr. FroeI5ch's Letter,


JfesSrs. Editors In the Weekly Jour-
nal of February 18th, appears very inter
esting letter from my follow countyman,
Louis Froeich, Esq, giving glowing des-
cription Of the "frnit and grape growing
business Of Eastern North Carolina and
if I did not know my friend Froelich to be
g gentleman of sober and exemplary chris
tan habits, / should suppose from his ex-
tensive s. sampliny that he penned his
article Immediately after coming out Of the
wine cellars of Columbus county, such is
the inspiring strain in which he writes -
But aside from all pleasantly, do the advo-
Gates Of extensive grape growing and wine
making ever stop to consider the misery
and crime they are going to bring upon
the land? When read Mr.. Froelich's let
ter I could not help asking myself, whose
sons and daughters Of our already afflicted
country are to become the victims of drunk
ennes5 and crime by the use of this vast
quantity of wine which is soon to be thrown
upon the market
VIII not an increase of wine cause an
increase Of intemperance I think it will.
The exploded argument "that men will
drink something, and therefore it is better
to drink wine than whiskey," is in my
opinion poor excuse for flooding the land
with beverage more pleasant to the taste,
and therefore more likely to make drunk
ards than whiskey. If a man is to be poi
sored, it matters but little whether you
give him arsenic or stricknine, the object
will be accomplished in either case. So
with the poor drunkard. It makes no diff
ference whether his first glass was wine or
corn whiskey. Go on with your wine bus
mess Enter the house of God upon the
Sabbath day, look solemn and read pray
ers, then through the week make your
selves busy in the work of manufacturing
wine with which to make drunkards, but
know that for all this God will bring you
into Judgment. He'll enlarges its borders,
a vast harvest Of poor drunkards is to be
made from the millions Of gallons of wine
soon to be sent from the wine presses of
Eastern North Carolina.
To say that a general use OF vine will
promote temperance, is about as sensible
as to say that general practice of idle
ness will bring prosperity and happiness.

INDIGo.-The cultivation of indigo has
recently received increased attention in
Colombia, South America, and over two
hundred manufactures of this dye stuff are
now established in the States of Cundina-
marca and Tolimo.
Venison in Missouri is quoted at four
cents pound, which certainly is not dear
meat,
