great mass Of he people thought Of treat
ing for peace. He explained the Difficult
ties Of negotiations which We're III the way,
Both state and Confederate authorities
were bound bv a constitution and a gov
erument OF Confederate States. In my
opinion, he said, 1T was a great mistake
to have formed any constitution, for the
Confederacy was restrained by liz own
constitution. In view Of the great odds
against the Confederacy, they should have
stripped themselves naked Of all laws or
constitutions and bowed 10 one viii
Speaking Of the negro question Ia con
nectlon with the war, the Senator >4}d
The North predicted that the slaves
would be melted 10 commit murder in
cendiarism, and bring on All the horrors
Of servile war. They found it quite the
contrary. The negro Wa a positive c.e
meut Of strength to the Sonth. BY reason
of his service III the felQs We We're enabled
to put in our army far more White men
than we could have done but for he pres
ence Of the negro. Instead Of insurrcCtiou
and outrage, the negro not only refraned
from any act Of vengeance when an op-
pOrtunity came, but in a large measure
failed 10 embrace the opportunity Of free
dom itself when the Federal armies came.
Few followed e army off, and still fewer
ran away to get TO the armies. They
stayed quietly on the old plantation, cui-
tivating the fields, and caring for the
women and children with a kindness and
loyalty that gives the lie direct to charges
Of cruelty and iIl-treatment to which they
were said to be subjected

The Merchant Feeds the Farmer.

Fear Farmer.

Extract from Private Letter from i Cape
Fear Farmer.
Trade seems to me now to be without
any basis. In another month tn mer-
chants will begin to feed the farmer, God
bless the merchant, for how else could the
poor farmer live. and then flour worth
81 80, fetches $S. 80, and next Fall the
cold pinches ju, as it did this, for it takes
all the crop to pay up. Who's to blame
not the merchant Not the farmer Then
who is? can't answer certainly, but it
does seem to me that We need more and
cheaper money. To get this ought the
tax on State banks to remain? Fayette-
vile had four banks in ante belun, now
two only with a circulation of perhaps
tenth. The only argument | hear
against it is the money don't pass il other
States. What a small thing to get specie
to travel ont is hardly ever worth pre-
mium.

From Shelby Aurora.

Marvellous changes have been wrought
in this state among the agricultural popu-

is not worth while TO disguise the fact
that such men as Col. l.. l.. Polk, founder
of the State Agricultural Department and
now editor Of the Progressive Farmer at
Winston, Aaye been vita! forces III bring
ing about these charges. These men have
caught Il Just view Of the farmers needs
and they have had the patriotism 10 un

eniuy and uplifting the people has also
been travelling over the state and speaking

UNIVERSITY OF VA, Dec. 10, 1886 Let
me give you short paragraph for the
benefit Of those who have listened 50 long
to the laudatory speeches of the silver
tonged orators Of North Carolina until
they have been persuaded to believe that
their State is the grandest under heaven.
A few days since ii was my pleasure to be
conversing with a lady-by no means un-
Informed on general subjects-and finally
she inquired what State was from. Like
every North Carolinian would have done.

ness sake, what's that?'
