WAsuINGToN, ID. c., November 6, 1877.
SIR: L have examined the question of
returning the books Of the Executive De-
partmcnt Of North Carolina as presented by
resolution Of the General Assembly Of that
State, AMI in reply have respectfully to in
form you that J. do not feel authorized, even
If disposed, to deliver the originals Of these
records of the State Of North Carolina |
Gud thom in possession Of the United States
as property captured in war, and can make
no disposition Of them until authorized by
an act Of Congress-.
The Legislature of your State, doubtless
anticipating the difficulty, request that in
case originals cannot be recovered, copies of
the same may be procured at the expense
of the State. | ain disposed to comply
with this request as far as [ may consisten-
tly with the interests of the United States
1t is probable that upon examination it
may be Sound that some of these records
are of such a character as to be of great
Importance to the United States, as evidence
in resisting claims upon the treasury In
several cases heretofore, by resort to similar
documents, the government has been en-
ablcd to defeat very large claims. (
l must therefore reserve the right to nsc
my discretion in determining whether any,
and if any, what records should be cxccp-
ted, on the ground that they should not be
mat/c puJhc. With this limitation, am
prepared to say that if the State will dcfray
the expenses | will order copies to be made,
under direction Of the Adjutant General
OF the army, for delivery to you

To Me Honorable tic Secretary Of Var,

SIR: 1t is made my duty by joint res
olution Of the General Assembly Of this
State, passed at its recent session, correct
copy Of which is incloscd for your informa.
tion to apply to you for either the return
Of the original letter books of the Eexecu-
tive Department. or for permission to take
authenticated copies thereof for the use Of
tho archives of the State. Permit me to
express the hope that the government Of
:hc United States may see proper to accedc
to this reasonable application.
The letters contained in these books can
only be Of value to the Federal Government
as constituting part of the history of the
late war, for which purpose copies would
answer just as well whilst to the people of
North Carolina they arc not only of more
value for the same reason but they are often
desired in aid of justice 10 our courts and
Tor other urgent causes. Copies even for
these purposes have again and again been
refused, aud under such circumstances as
indicated an unmixed intention to disobligc
and irrtatc.
Surely the time has passed away when
such motives, if they ever existed, for the
Withholding Of these records should animate
the public officials Of the country; Bclicv-
lug that this better era has come, am en-
couragcd to present to you the action of
the General Assembly in this behalf, and
to earnestly request compliance Herewith.
The expense of transcribinS either for
your retention or for transmission to this
State, as you shall decide, will be borne by
this department. OF course VIC would
greatly prefer the originals.
L am, sir, very respectfully, your obcdi.
cnt servant, u. B. VANCE.

THE FARMERS WIFE.


The farmer came In from the field one day:
His lapguid step and his weary way,
His Blended brow, his sinewy hand,
All showed his work for the good of the land; /;
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
All for the coed Of the land.
By the kitchen fire stood his patient wife,
Light of his home and JOY of his life,
With face all aglow and busy hand,
Preparing the meal for her husbands band;
For she mast boil, s.A-
And she must broil,
And she must toll,
All for the good of the homo.
The bright sun shines when the farmer goos
out,
The birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk about
The brook Jabblcs softly in the glen,
While he works so bravely for the good OF men,
For he sows,
And hc mows,
And he hoes,
All for the good of the land.
How briskly the wife steps about within,
The dishes to wash, the milk to skim;
tbs fire goes out, flies buzz about
For the dear ones at home her heart Is kept
There arc pies to make,
There is bread TO bake,
And 81 cps to take,
All for the suke Of home.
When the day is Ger, and the evening is come,
The creatures are fed, the milking done,
lie takes his rest meath the old shade tree,
From the labor of the land his thoughts arc
free;
Though he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
He rests from the work of the land
But the faithful wife, from sun to sun,
Takes her burden up that's never done;
Thorc is no rest there is no play;
For the good of the house she must work away;
For to mend the frock,
And to knit the sock,
And the cradle to rock
All for the good Of the home.
When autumn is here, with its chilling blast,
The farmer gathers his CROP at last;
His barns are-full, his fields are bare :. %t.'>
For the good of the land be nc'er hath care,
While it blows,
And il SHOWS,
Till winter goes,
lie rests from the work Of the land.
But the willing wife, till lifos closing day,
Is the children's guide, tn , husbands stay;
From day to day she has dcne her best,
Until death alone can give her rest;
For after the test
Comes the rest,
With the blest,
In the farmers heavenly home.

THE HABIT OF READING.

81 have no time to read, is the common
complaint, and especially of women, whose
occupations are such as to prevent continu-
GUS book perusal. They cannot devote as
muck atteutiouto books US they are COM
PEELED to devote to their avocations, that
they cannot read anything. But this is a
great mistake. 1t isE't the books VIC finish
at sitting, which always do us the most
good. Those VIC dcvour i'll odd moments,
half dozen pages at time, often give us
more satisfaction and are more thoroughly
digested than those We make n particular
effort to read. The men who have made
their mark in the world, have generally
been the men who have in boyhood formed
the habit of reading at every available
moment. whether for five minutes or five
Moura.
1t is the habit CT rcaNing, ratMer than
the time at our command, that helps us, on
the road to learning. Many of the most
cultivated persons, whose names have been
famous as students, have given only two or
three hours to their books. If we make
use Of spare minutes in the midst of our
work, and read little. if but page or a
paragraph, we shall find Our brains quick
encd, and our toll lightcncd by just so much
increased satisfaction as the book gives us.
Nothing helps along the monotous daily
rounds SO much as fresh and striking
thoughts, to be -oonoidoroel while, our hands
are busy. a new idea from new volume
is like oil, which reduces the friction Of
the machinery of life. What we remember
Of brief glmpcs into books, often serves as
= stmuant to action, and becomes one Of
the most precious deposits in the treasury
Of our recollection All knowledge IS made
up Of small parts, which would seem insig
nilicart in themselves, but which taken to-
gethcr, are valuable weapons for the mind,
and.substantial armor for the soul. The
odd minutes which we are inclined to waste,
if carefully husbaudcd for instruction, will,
in the long run, make golden hours and
golden days, that we shall be ever thankful

SUMTER Nor BEuIND.-One Of our
subscribcrs-a practical and energetic plan
ter, as well as successful horticulturist-
after reading the paragraph copied by us
last week, ia regard to the growing of tea
and cork in Georgia, concluded that he
would let the public know that Sumter
County is entitled to as much distinction as
our Georgia ncighbors. He, therefore, on
last Saturday, brought us some tea leaves
and some pieces Of cork, grown on his place
few miles from town. The tea was Of
course, in its green state, but that it is sue
cessiully grown here is the only point that
we are interested in at present; that it can
be perfectly cured in this country has been
fully demonstrated. The cork tree has
been growing on his place for number Of
years, and was raised from the seed; several
of the acorns having been sent to him from
Washington The cork oak is a native Of
Spain and Portugal. The bark, which is
thick and spongy, is the part used The
irst growth, which is coarse and scanned, is
stripped off, after which, in five or six
years, new and fine bark is formed, from
which the best storpcrs are mndc.--Tua

the Chinaman was not a white

citizenship. The case will be
appealed to the United States
