A Radical Attempt to Kill Newspaper.
The Hon, Josiah Turner, of Raleigh has, by
his outspoken and unceasiDg denunciation of
the present corrupt Federal Administration,
and particularly of its Official representatives in
North Carolina, made enemies of all the carpet
baggers, scalawags, and low negroes. who have
WINGED under his editorial lash, as welded in
the Raleigh Sentinel. Hence he has been from
time to line imprisoned, driven from home,
and shot at in the streets and now, concluding
that he is to die natural death, the Radicals
have attempted to silence his paper by blowing
up his Office With gunpoWder. The authorities
of Raleigh owe it to themselves and to the
violated law that the perpetrators of this last
outrage shall at any cost be apprehended and
punished, and we hope that the good people Of
North Carolina will see to it that the services
of such valuable and unpurchasable exponent
of Conservative principles as the Sentinel shall
not be lost to the party for single day in this
campaign. = Dispatch

Greele &he Young Men.
The fo|IeT Tie concluding paragraphs
of MI. Gsoeler1 kess before the Maryland
Agricultural Society on Thursday
II hold that millions of acres right about us
which have never yet yielded to civilized man
any crop but fire. wood or charcoal may be pro-
itably Cleared of its mainly stunted, struggling
trees and bushes forthwith made to produce
800 worth per acre of food next year, and ev-
cry year thereafter, giving employment and SUBJ
sistence to hundreds of thousands of workers,
and that larger as well as surer profits may thus
be realized than by mining for gold in Arizona
or hunting for whales along the coast of Alaska
If this be true, is it not truth OF decided
importance? Our cities are overcrowded. We
have too many merchants, too many lawyers,
too many brokers. We do not lack capital, but
our wealthy men know by sad experience that
to lend is often to lose-those who seek to bor-
row on farm mortgages are almost never read y
to repay. l urge them not to lend, not to spec
ulate. but to apprentice their sons to the very
ledge of agriculture, hire the best foremen they
can find, and resolve to become farmers while
abiding gentlemen. Let those who already
own fertile wild land improve it let those who
do not own. judiciously buy /; and let each eau
tiously feel his way, destroying no timber with
out careful consideration. but planting with
choice forest trees every acre that is not soon to
be brought under tillage, and so proceed care
fully, observantly, thoughtfully, to the full
measure of that intelligent activity which, back
ed by adequate capital, rarely failsin any worthy
pursuit, and never in farming. There is scope
and opportunity here for tens Of thousands of
our af1uent young men now orowding into Of
ices and countlng-rooms which do not need
them, and commend to their recognition the
fact that there is no other career SO truly indie
pendent, so free from peril, SO equable yet
chequered With lhsing diversity Of daily in
terests and che6 Yes, SO full Of noble ep-
portunities, SO 81 aded from sordid temptations
and maddeping distractions, as that of the edu-
