che company vas very large, thirteen or
fourteen families being represented. The
happy pair are generally esteemed and
beloved, ssl many good wishes and God.
speeds are shosevcd upon them. We
are confident the fair bride u;ll make
her Crews through life happy one.
How TO SELL A HoRsE.-An estiwa-
bic friend of oars had . favosite buggy
hose. He vas nearly . score OF ysars
OLD, but that didn't prevent him getting
unmanageable. Il was at last decided
upon that "Old Dict" should be sold,
and our friends son advised sending him
to St. Louis. He vas accordingly shipped
at on expense Of throe dollars. A ready
sale was not met with, and Old Dick vas
left to board at . livery and sale estab
lishment until purchaser could be
found. A few days ago our venerable
friend received very polito note from
one Alexander l. Co., informing him that
they had ut last succeeded in disposing
of the old family favorite for the sum of
of $40. Accompanying this was also q
modest little bill: : buggy hire, 81 horse
feed for ten days, $40; total sl4. The
letter closed with a request that as our
friend found himself 81 in debt he would
please remit at the earliest opportunity.
It cost Just Sl7 to sell that horse for $40.
MoNRoE.-The communication signed
"Monroe," in this number of the Herald,
makes one or two statements that We
think proper to notice. First there
has not been sl5O,0OO Of the county
subscription expended. Our correspond.
ent was probably lead to this conclusion
by the statement in the Herald few
weeks since, that should the railroad not
he built on the present located route, the
company would be responsible to the
county for the amount expended and fol
damages done our citizens, which would
probably amount to Sl5O000. The dam
ages to farms where grading has beer
done would be greater than tho amour
Of the subscription expended. Second
his statement that VIC havc "an abund
ance of inferior coal and some good,
would come nearer the mark il the SEN
teuce were reversed. A coal company
from distance would not be apt to bu,
and work the mines If there were it'll
else than inferior coal in them. Goa
Il is the mineral Of the county. The 9th
ers Of which our correspondent speak
have not been developed, and may, as b.
says. bc "humbug," but We hope no,
We think he IS also mistaken when h
says that real estate has decreased il

The subject Of immigration should COM
mand moro attention in North Carolina
than of late has been bestowed upon it.
In the midst of the canvass, which is now
upon us, we should not forget that there
are other interests requiring atten-
ton. True it is that good State Consti-
tuition. and good, well-executed State laws,
an effective common school system, and
good universities will be sure and certain
means for the promotion of immigration
will be great inducements for a good class
of immigrants. But there is more than
this required. Information as to all parts
of our State must be disseminated in other
States and countries, and amongst that
class of people who would be most likely
to be benefited b. removal, and who would
be Of greatest benefit to the general good.
To this end not only the newspapers
and periodicals should frequently bring
the subject prominently before the public.
ut associations shonld be formed, properly
olnce."d and organized; funds should be
raised for "air support and. il no other
oouroe can oe lof-owed successfully-if as
socla1ed enort snail t5rf--the State herself
should be enlisted in the .ansa 90 what
will result in bringing her go11 citizens
will also have its reflex influence in 1Aakino
the burdens of her citizens lighter. f..
example, suppose the present population
of North Carolina could be doubled within
the next two years, with class of immi-
grants who are all producers, the effect
would be to divide the taxes out amongst
O larger population and would make it
easier for all. With our present numbers
the burden of our State debt is almost unr
bearable. It will take many years TO pay
t, but in proportion, as our lands are
iIled up, just in that proportion does the
1ebt become easier.

We were not among those who were SC
eager to reproach JEFFERSON DAVIS for
sentiments uttered in public speech OF
Atlanta that we could not wait for his ex-
PLANTATION, but preferred rather 10 accept
the Interpretation placed upon his words

chose rather to protest against this inter

to which they put his words. We regret
that there were Southern papers which
were deceived into lending their influence
to the vicious designs of our political enc
mics. whether their credulity arose from
an over-cautious timidity or from selfish
remembrances of unforgotten grievances.
Unfortunately there are always men who

| MONTGOMERY, ALA, June 18th, 1871.
Dear JournaI:-You will remember that
when we last wrote we were soiourninR in
that delightful little city, Huntsville,
where we remained until few days since,
and where we might have remained long
er but that there were strong indications
of an approaching famine, for owing to
the various Ecumenical Councils before
alluded to. who, it seems, had with one
accord selected the devoted little town as
the scene of their operations. A mighty
multitude was gathered together and
"great was the company of the preachers"

and 'fried chicken" that while I know

The machine will turn out about 125 shoes

nencing his proposed breach of decornm.
