MIR. SUPERVISOR PERRY.

This individual, who inhis late report
to the Headquarters Of his Department
at Washington City, said that offenders
against the Revenue Laws were cen
cOuraged in their hostile and malicious
acts by most of the Conservative news
papers in the State, has made later
report, in which he rises to explain,
and to beg leave to "amend his former
statement, by striking out the word
''mosto and inserting the word ''cer-
tain'-this much in justice to the Con
servative press of the State. -
Considering the great uncertainty
pertaining to the use of the word
" certain" and that it may mean
few or many without mourning any
responsibility for accuracy, the Won
der is that truthful Perry did not
resort to it in the first instance. A
greater wonder is, however, that
Perry has deigned to make any correc-
ton, even one SO equivOcal as that IN
yolyed in the substitution Of the word
"certain' for the word ''mOst- We
had Thought that men of Perly's sort
cared little for the truth or Untruti OF
their statements where Southern peo-
pie were concerned.

AHIIs 4. AIR.

We are gratilied to note throughout
the Southern country, a revived and
increased interest in the approaching
Agricultural Fairs, to be held iii the
several States, during the ensuing Fall.
Feeling satisfied that these Fair, by
creating laudablc spirit of c.nula-
ton among our Farmers and Mechan-
les, tend greatly toward the develop
ment Of orr fertile lands and the al;-
probation of orr skilled labor, we
think every man and woman in the
State should do all in their power to
make the North Carolina exhibitions
successful. The State Fair, to be held
next month at Raleigh, Will no !oubt
be Il grand success.
We have reason too, to be most
hopeful in regard to our own Fair, which
takes place here in November. We learn
that among other attractions, an I'M
usually large exhibition of fine cattle
is expected and that efforts arc being
made 10 bring here at that time Il large
supply of all the latest improvements
in agricultural implements.
To those fond of fine horses and
good riding, (and who is not y the
Tournament, with the knights all in
arm-clad, will be great attraction.
We are informed distinguished
speaker OF national reputation will de-
L 4 H.
socation. In short, the next Fair is
to be the largest and most attractive we
have ever had.

SOUND DOCTRINE.

We cordially endorse the following
article we take from the Raleigh Sen
tincl:
''Bcware then of every measure that
looks towards strong government.
Watch the slightest talk or act that
savors of Capitalization. II you hear
or read of any projects of national
university, national church, anational
police, a national army of teachers,
national telegraph line, q national rail
way system, put your foot down at
once upon the monsters and tread their
very life ont whilst i'll their swaddling
bands. What right has 4 government
of delegated powers to be interfering
with any such interests ? Grant such
q right, and we have at once Il central
lied despotism that will be saying to
you what you may or may not eat,
drink and wear, and compelling you
to send your children, If it 50 elect, to
negro teachers in national schools.
The u. S. Government has 10 more
business with such things than it has
with the price of flour, the rent Of =
house, or charges for drayage.'

~ ~ TEE TRUTH

The New York Times, in q recent
article commenting upon The canvass
now pending in Virginia, says:
Northern Republicans "don't care
SO very much about the negro, 1f"
negro, but they do care for their own
Independence"
We have all along believed that all
the use the Yankees had for the negro
was to help him to rise to place and
power. And now We have an ay"wa.
of it from no less Il source t]i.n the
chief Radical organ in the country.
But the Times is so crafty that its
most positive assertions create doubt.
1t may be that the Y1meS thinks it Il
safe thing iii the white State of Nir-
ginia to say that Northern Republicans
care nothing for the negro rs a negro :;
that what they do care for IS their
own independence, III the hope OF
persuauing white Eirginiau3 that if
the Radical party shall be securely
placed in power, it viii throw It's Negro
allies overheard. However this may
be, it will avail nothing. He would
be not only a cheap but Il crcdulous
man who could be bought with Il
promise that the Radical party Will
ever cease in its efforts to control the
country by means Of the negro vote.
It will doubtless be long ere the
Times will be heard to declare, while
a South Carolina election is pending,
that Northern or other Republicans
care little for the negro, as negro,
for the reason that it would not pay.
There is no need for any white votes
in that State In Virginia, however,
unless there be a In ~ge white vote cast
for Mr. Hughes, General kc!nper, the
white mems candidate, will surely be
elected and straiShtway We hear the
organ of the party Mr.. Hughes repre-
sents, crying out that Republicans do
not, after all, "carc 50 very much
about the negro, as negro ;; that all
they wish is to preserve their own in
Dependence, and not to be "SncerCd
at"
BY the way, it is passing strange
how much onr Northern brethren dis
like being "snocrcl at by the poor
''Southcrn Eu-kIux devils One
would think that, if Southern men
were the guilty criminals and y;olators
of the laws OF both God and man that
it is the fashion to represent them 10
be, virtuous, law-;t!iding Northern
men would care nothing for their
sneers. But it is not 50. !lcy call
us all sorts of ugly names, and acrlssc
lis OF al sorts of ucly deeds, and then
quarrel with us for not meeting then,
on terms of social equality. 1t is
curious.

Arthur says. He says also: 81 am
sure the little band of four that dashed
up Main street that eventful morning
will ever believe the city Of Columbia
was fired and pillaged by the rear
guard or stragglers of the rebel army,
the statements of their Generals to the
contrary Notwithstanding"
Mr.. Secretary Belknap is doubtless
happy at being so promptly sustained
by Major Macarthur, at least he would
be, were it not for the doubt that per-
plexes him as well as the JOURNAL to
understand the cyphering" by which
Major Macarthur makes band of
four" out of "Col. Ken nedy, Major
Goodrich, color-bearer, with fiag)
and himself" Was the horse one Of
the little band, or was "color-bearer'
not Major Goodrell, but another man,
and, if so, what was his name?
We have heard about the celebrated
charge of the six hundred at Balaclava,
and we have heard about the wooden
horse" that played SO important part
in the siege of Troy, but this Columbia
business is q sort of combination of
both of them, and superior to either.
Who would not have a photograph of
that little band of four" as it dashed
up Main street p .t,
General Sherman #ill have to fur
nish better testimony than the impress
sions of men who capture towns in
horse and buggy before he will relieve
himself of the load Of infamy laid upon
him by the burning of Columbia.

Sherman having got endorsements,
is trying to make another stand against
the charge Of burning Columbia.
This time he brings i'll the Secretary
of War, General Bclznap, not as n wit
ness who knows anything, but rather
as man that knows another man that
knows something. thereby getting the
benefit of having that high officials
name on his side.
Mr. Secretary Belknap writes to
those officers of his command who
We're the first of Shcrman's Army to
enter Columbia for tLcir recollection
of the matter, taking especial care to
tell them that his ownrecollectionis that
"cotton, piled iii the streets Of Co
lumbia by the rebels, was burning
wren you entered the city
Considering that the witnesses are
Mr.. Belknap's own witnesses, that
would seem to be = clear case Of
.'leading.
One of the letters received in reply
is OF Importance, as it shows the style
in which the Federal entry WAS first
made in the South Carolina capitol
"Col. Kennedy, Major Goodrich,
color bearer, with flag), and myself
took horse and buggy and proceeded
rapidly on way to the Statc-h0use, "
says Major Macarthur. This formida-
Jlo ,,,rt,- of tI,roa officarc u,,J u tf,r
i'll one buggy, while proceeding rapidly
on way to State-housc, saw "rcbel
soldiers pulling out tufts Of cotton
and firing the bales; others breaking
open and plllaging tho stores = but
they staid not long, for upon the APP
pearance OF the buggy and horse,
with the three officers and flag, 1.-The
rebels fed, taking with them what they
could carry" The fright produced by
the advance of the martial host in The
horse and buggy was not exactly Unan-
imous, however, for zone squad of
four cavalrymen hal presence Of
mind enough to fire upon them rs they
"passed up Main street, though no
damage was done, and the gallant
three in their horse and buggy contin-
ued to advance until they reached the
Capitol building, where they planted
their 90 two stands of colors, one upon
the old and the other upon the new
Capitol"
We venture to say that never before
in the history of the world was the
capital city of country taken by three
officers with flag in one horse and
buggy, yet if General Sherman's wit
nesses are to be believed, that was the
fate of poor Columbia.
But we are DEPRESSING somewhat.
Major McArthur-who happens to
write from an U. S. Assessors office
in prompt support of the recollection
of the Secretary of War, says: 81 am
fully impressed that the fire that de-
stroyed the city originated by the reb
els firing the cotton"

Correspondent-Y are getting me
slightly mystifed. What has Barney

Col. MCDOWELL, the first steamer
Tor Liverpool after Forests arrest
carried Barney Aaron. He skipped.

with the murder of his father?
Col. Wood would rather not dis
cuss that with you.
Correspondents there any reason

Col. Wood-No. I will say this ::
Somebody gave the gang that did the
job very accurate information about
the old mans habits, the house, the
servants and the location of his bed

young Nathan wanted his father killed,
but he put up the job to have him

think they took the keys TO the safe
from him and unlocked it, and when
they pulled out the drawers the silver
ratified, and that startled the old man,
when his light was put out, as 1 have
already told you.
Correspondent - Do you know
whether Jordan was on this scent or
not?
Col. Wood think he was? There
is no doubt that the gang irving ran
with furnished the men to do this
job, and Kelley was very probably one
of the party that did it.

of Spitzbergan, latitude 7Sk degrees
north,) all persisted. In this case,
however, it was proved that they lived
without knowledge or regard of SAM
tary restrictions. Although abund-
antly provided with antiscorbutic
food, they almost exclusively partook
of salt meat, which acts like clear
poison under such circumstances.
This awful catastrophe, therefore,
should not at all interfere in the judg-
ment of Arctic explorations or condi-
tions. OF the sixty-eight men of the
Swedish expedition. which wintered Il
degrees further north than these men,
only one man died of consumption.
Calamities of this kind will happen to
every exploring expedition, whether
it be in the hot or cold zone.
Of the three West Africa explorers,
(BuchhOlZ, RiechenOw ond Leihder)
for instance, the latter died very early.
The wellprepared and provided Ger
man Congo expedition came to thought
in Sierra Leone, and if one follows the
register of African explorations long
list of deaths and calamities presents
itself, which would in vain be sought
in the history of thcNorth Pole expe
ditions. The drifting of the Polaris
from 80 degrees 2 minutes down to n
degrees 20 minutes north is very in
structive. It goes to show that it
makes no difference, if vessel be
beset with ice, whether this occurs on
the high sea or near thu land. The
nineteen persons of Halls expedition,
although often quite near to the land,
could not reach it, and neither could
the Hansan party in similar cases.
The European Arctic sea being clear
of ice farther north, an exploring ex-
petition, in that region if ice bound,
would also become free. much sooner.
The Hall party had to float on the ice
from latitude " degrees 20 miutes to
SO degrees north, or 24s degrees Of
latitude, while the Hansa people be-
came free after drift of 10 degrees of
latitude. Further toward Spitzbergen,
and especially east of it, ice navigators
will always find an open channal as
high as latitude 80 degrees north; or,
in very unfavorable cases, latitude 70
degrees north; SO that if an expedition
in that region should unfortunately be
beset with ice, it would, in all proba-
bility, get clear after 10 degrees
drift

means of its natural facilities. No
city can now, as formerly, rely solely
upon the advantages of its harbor, or
it's central situation, or its capital for
success. All these may be rivailed and
outweighed elsewhere by artificial
meanswhich are now almost necessary
to the life of the grain trade as well
as foreign importation. Has not New
York relied too long and too conf
IDENTIFY upon the Incompatible advan-
tage of its situation, and neglected to
provide the facilities which the mer-
chants find elsewhere ? This is a ques-
ton not wholly for the Legislature and
the city government, to which this
meeting appeals, but for the merchants
in their private capacity. Already the
western merchants are complaining
that New York is behind other points
in the means of moving and transfer
ring merchandise.
