deem it fortunate circumstance that
We have at the head of affairs in North
Carolina, man so pre-eminently qualified
BY nature, education and experience, as Gov
Holden. A man who knows his duty, and
has the moral courage to do it. A true and
devoted friend to the Union, and an un
finching Republican. A man in whom
Congress and the President Justly coutide.
and to whom the law-abiding people of
North Carolina look for protection to life
and property.


No other man in the State is so peculiarly
qualified for the emergencies of the hour as
Gov Holden. No other man in North
Carolina has the confidence of the General
Government to the same extent that he has,
nos the influence for good. There is not a
fee to the Government, State or National, in
all the land, who does not fear him. And
well they may He sees treason and rebel
lion secretly arraycd against the State and
General Governments, and knows the made
quacy of the civil authorities to reach and
punish them. He secs this khan, this abom-
ination of desolation," organized with a
view to defeat trials by civil process and
though it was thought to be so perfect in all
its arrangements as to defy conviction of its
members. the Governor has shown himselfto
be more than match for the legal minds
who conceived the design of overthrowing
the Government by secret invasion. And
would now say to you, Kuklux lawyers, you
originators of this horrible khan of assassi-
nation and murder, your day of retribution
has come. You will now be dealt with &C.
cording to your just deserts To your de-
luded agents whom you have employed to
do your work of death, Iwould say, beware
Your only chance is to rcnounee and expose
the whole thing. If you refuse, you viii
suffer the full consequence of your crimes.

Mr.. EDITOR "A few days since while
rambling over the farm of Mr.. J. H. Card
well, five miles below Madison, on Dan
river, my attention was directed to long,
narrow neck of land, about two hundred
yards in length and fifty or sixty in width,
running parallel with the river and at an
elevation of fifteen or twenty feet above the
level of the stream This strip of land was
at one time very productive, but owing to
its proximity to the river and TO the de-
structive freshets which have prevailed of
late years it at present presents to the eye
a barren waste, covered with small pebbles,
gudian arrow heads and pieces Of pottery.
Having read an account in your paper of
the disinternent of several Indians by Prof
Kerr on the farm of Judge Settle. three
miles below this point, l inferred from the
visible indications scattered over this piece
of land, the little mounds and hillocks that
it must have been used by the Indians in ages
past not only as a spot for a camp, but also
as burial ground. Its proximity to the
falls in the river in all probability recon-.
mended it as very desirable location for
camp or village, especially at time when
the stream abounded with fish, muscles,
&C., and the surrounding country was well
stocked with game of every description.


Having given the grounds and its sur
roundings close and careful examination,
l concluded to test the matter more thor
oughly by making an excavation. Select
ing small mound l proceeded to remove
the earth and at the depth of two feet dis
covered human skeleton imbedded in
charcoal and in very good state of pre-
servation.


This Indian was reclining on his right
side, with his head toward the South and
feet to the North. After being exposed to
the action of the atmosphere for sometime,
l found it impossible to obtain the skeleton
entire. The skull and larger bones of the
arms and legs together with a portion of the
spine in very good condition which now
have in nv possession. The fore teeth, or
incisors of this Indian were small end SEEM
ed to have been considerably worn, while
the motors were badly decayed, showing
that dentists were not patronized in those
days.


found at the same time and place several
pieces of pottery, two or three stones shaped
like tomahawks, quantity of arrow points,
beads &c Just opposite this point on the
South side of the river, there is very large
hill called the Indian hill,'' embracing ali
area of ten or fifteen acres. On this spot
there seems tn have been at one time con-
siderable Indian village, judging from the
quantities of bones, pottery, muscle shells
and arrow heads. One very peculiar char
acteristic in the nature OF the soil on this
hill is its remarkable fertility and produc-
tiyeness, Whila The surrounding land "a
Year: 1870

rather poor and Indifferent, this spot after
repeated cultivation tor one hundred wears
still produces as fine crops as You will find
on the rich and fertile low lands of the river.
1t is impossible to ascertain how long
it may have been occupied by the Indians,
yet there can be no doubt but that its
fertility is attributable to the debris, &c.,
which was scattered about this Indian
village and which, by constant accu


mutation for years, rendered this spot
equal In every respect to the best river land.
At some future time intend to give this
spot careful examination, and will write
you the particulars. To the archeolonist no
section OF the State presents more inviting
field for investigation than this portion Of
Rockingham county. For miles along the
river now repose in peace the once rightful
sovereigns of these broad acres. Their day
is past, no longer glides the Indians light
canoe over the ripping waters of the Dan,
no longer is heard the cry of the coy maiden
or the shrill war hoop of the Indian brave,
civilization in its rapid march has swept
away with ruthless hand, nearly every YES
tige of this once happy and contented peo-
pie. A few bones, few rude specimens of
their Workmanship is all that is left to tell
the tale. DSP

EFFECT OF THE ABSENCE OF Sound UPON
THE MIND AND SENSE or HEARING.-Dr.
H. Rails Smith, formerly of Louisville, Ken
lucky, now Of Chicago, in the course Of GER
tain investigations, has established the
truth of the theory that the permanent deni-
Eens of the Mammoth Cave are not only
without trace Of the optic nerve, but are
also destitute Of the sense Of hearing. DIR.
Smith, at one time, penetrated about four
miles into tho interior o. the cave, and some
four hundred feet below the surface Of the
earth. The effect upon him Of the solitude
and total absence of sound, he states, was
very distressing, and almost insupportable,
resulting in a very perceptible, although
temporary detection Of hearing and aberra-
ton Of mind. This explains the fact why
persons lost in the cave for one, two, or
three days, have always been found, when
rescued, in a state of temporary insanity.
The mind and special senses, deprived OF
their natural pabulum and stimulus, gradu-
ally become weakened, paralysed, atroPhled'
and finally, as far as external manifestations
are concerned, nearly, if not quite extinct
These investigations may afford some clue
TO the cause of cretinism in the deep gorges
Of the Alps.-Aed Record.

wash the mixture, and "precipitate " il

communities of families in the economy of

Certainly, no Catholic will say that the
couusels in regard to voluntary poverty are
meant only for celibates, and that only
celibates are entitled to gain the consequent
blessings. Blessed are the willing
poor, for theirs is the kingdom of
beaven." Certainly, man and wife are
entitled to earn the benefits Of this willing
poverty as well as any monk or nun. The
married poor are entitled to make the same
sacrifice and take part in the same work to
enhance the glory of the church, and 10
merit the same reward Association makes
the sacrifice and the work possible to the
celibate. 1t creates similar possibility
for married people. The wondrous powers
Of combined labor and economy are well

wide and free. and ready for good seed.
Instead of thinking that associations Of
married people are in any wise incompati-

little reflection will convince us that it is.
on the contrary. the long-neglected link
that completes the circle Of good works.
In6dels would fain seize the position, and
try to adapt it to naturalism and cupidi-

ridiculous. The reason is obvious the
vow Of poverty and all its consequences

tives inspired by the Christian religion.

We find the following letter in the Har-
risburg Patriot, of the 9Th instant, and
without endorsing the predictions contained
therein, present them to our readers for
what they are worth


WASHINGTON April 6, 1870.


In former letter | referred specifically
to the Internal Revenue Bureau, and am
now happy to inform you that the idea of
creating a permanent department Of this
government out of that incubus upon the
people has been abandoned for the present.
The load was too heavy to carry in addition
to the weights already pressing upon the
administration. Should Sherman's funding
bill pass, the effort will be renewed at the
short session Of the present congress, to
place this CALLING yoke upon the neck of la
Dor. My object now is to call your atten-
ton, and that Of the country. to the men
who are most prominent for the next presi-
dency, in 1872. The signs of the times
foreshadow the fact that neither the Demo
cratic party, or the Republican party as
such, will ever elect another president Of
the United States, and the sooner this truth
is clearly understood by both these parties
the better for all concerned.


The National Labor Union party, the
great reform party, will elect the next pre-
sident. You may rest assured that one Of
the following names will be nominated by
the workingmen, and the man that is nomi-
mated by the National Lobor Union will be
elected as certain as the sun rose this morn.
ing and will set this evening. The people
are sick and tired OF the rule of Belmont &
Co. ON one side, and Forney l. Co. on the
other. Before giving you the list, one Of
whom will be elected by the sovereign peo-
pie, will state who will not be nominated
or elect ! by any class or any party.


General Grant was so unfortunate and
unwise as to refuse positively to read COM
munication from the workingmen soon after
bis Inauguration. Since then the country
the voters-have received no considera-
ton at bis hands, and the glittering lnfu.
ence of the bloated rich controls and directs
him with facility and ease that astonishes
the beholder. Mark the prediction-he viii
never be elected again to the position which
be now occupies.


Chief Justice Chase has developed such
want Of courage. such restless ambition
such vascillation, such proclivity to change
from one side to the other, and withal, suct
weakness in the head, in the back and in
the knees, and such faintness at the heart
to which add bis insane opinion upon the le
gal tender act, his own production-ths
greenbacks-which really saved the country
and preserved the republic, that there il
not the shadow of chance for him to bt
president No party would trust him, anc
if they did, he would prove vinegar to the
teeth and smoke to the eyes," The nam'

Butler, of Massachusetts Gen. Schenck
Of Ohio; Gen. Logan, of Illinois; Gen
Wilson, Of Massachusetts, Gen. Hancock

The LEWES STEAMBOAT LINE. Since the

Some of them were hauled from Concord and
the lower part of the county. Our people are

SAN FRANCISCO SUNDAYS.


Our Sundays are fast becoming Germanized.
The Summer air is too balmy to be breathed in
close, confined churches the tranquil blue over
head too beautiful to be shut out by the roof of
home or temple ; so we have naturally adopted
the continental plan of spending the day in the
open air, greatly to the gain of both health and
morals. Last Sunday several thousand people
hied themselves away from baked and dusty
streets to the suburban gardens there to revel
in the mild enjoyment of lager quancd under
lcafy bowers or to stroll with wife and children
in front of the Gagged animals torment the ever
popular monkes or feed the ungrateful grizzly
with uuappreciated sweet meats and apples.


RELIGIOUS DANCE MUSIC.


In Difference to the remnant of puritauism
that still fingers in midst, the proprietors of
places of Sunday resort advertise sacred con-
certs for their Sabbath patrons. The music, ia
reality, consists of ordinary operate selections
interspersed with dance music and patriotic
tunes, but the supposed concession draws many
who would be Mortified at the idea OF attending
nn openly avowed secular concert. The German
element in this city has exercised n very appre-
ciablc influence upon our manners, and in none
more so than the way we have of spending the
Sabbath. SCRIBnLER.

Peter the Great could never be persuaded to
cross bridge though he tried to master the

TnE knowledge Of the French districts shown
by the staff of the German army, is considered
wonderful. Not only do they know where every
village lies, but they can tell at once the amount
of stabling to be found in it, whether there is
large church or schoolroom in which men or
horses can be quartered. They are well in
formed as to the accommodations TO be got in
France, and the staff can say at once how many
horses can be stabbed in every village from the
frontier to Paris.
