THE WEEKLY; SOUTHERNER. TARBOROV NORTH CAROLINA. WM. A. HBARNE, Editors. WM, BIQGS, i Thk Government op tIik United States, is ova. only Government, and in its HONOR AND GLORY. MVST WE FIND OURS." JAXURY 24, IS G7. The machinery of the State govern ment of North Carolina has now been in operation a little over a year. Emerging" from an internal strife of prolonged duration, it was a subject of extreme doubt and fear, in the minds of many, lest, the ordinary processes of law should fail to arrest the rapid strides of crime and lawlessness, the direct and inevitable results of war, and which manifested themselves, even, during the few months of military oc cupation and. duress that followed the surrender , of the Confederate States armies. ; - Hence the administration of Jona than Worth entered upon its career, Burroundcd by difficulties, and burdened with responsibilities, of the greatest magnitude, and which wo would fait appreciate to the fullest extent. In the face of all these facts, we un dertake to say that at no time in the history : of the country has the State been bette? governed, or the laws ad ministered isith more vigcr and impar tiality. In this connection however wo do not pretend to ignore the fact that in certain localities, a spirit of op position has been engendered against the Worth administration, which within the last few weeks has broken out into a state of lawlessness, truly startling, threatening life, limb and property of peaceful and innocent citizens of the Commonwealth. As journalists exercising a position of watchfulness and care over the interests of the State and people, we have felt curselves constrained to call the atten tion of the Executive to this state of affairs, and to designate those locali ties contigaous to, and surrounding, onr immediate neighborhood. In do ing so we feel that we discharged a du ty incumbent upon us, and while sug gesting the propriety of invoking tbe aid of the military power of the United States we were fur from acknowledging the inefficiency of the State govern ment when properly wieMed, or the in ability of the people to administer the law, and take care of their own domes tic affairs. But we did think, as we know now, that the most expeditious and effective way of disposing of these enemie3 to peace, quiet and civil gov ernment, is to turn them over to the xigilance of the regularly organized forces of the United States army The people living in the communities infested by these lawless characters, have been threatened with such violence, V pi ' hi tfruigcnofrpT-nragcr cstt sir air closures as would lead to arrest and conviction. And no matter how effi cient the State militia might prove in ferreting out these bands cf marauders, under ordinary circumstances, it is plain that a local organization composed in part by the very men to be brought to- justice, would accomplish little in the speedy suppression of these out rages, or tbe capture of these implica ted.; It is still further a fclf evident fact, that any act of justice by the State in cases of this kind, would be charac terized by such papers as the Raleigh Standard, as a persecution of Union men ; for these crimes to which we have alluded, have ia r every instance been committed by men who during the war were known as enemies to the South, and we hereby declare the fact that at the door of the office of the Korth Carolina Standard rests the entire responsibility of the present state of affairs both iu east and west North Carolina j and in this respect is Win. W. Holden, an aider and abettor cf highway robbery, murder, rape and ar son, in those sections of tbe State. North Carolina claims no son, more ready to do her service, or sustain her honor, than ourselves, nor has the ad ministration of Gov. Worth warmer friends. And as such we have pointed it existing evils, and suggested that lemedy, which seemed to us the most efficacious. We again appeal to the Executive arm of the State government, for Lclp in this matter, and would again suggest action in conformity to the fol lowing articlo in the Constitution : The United States shall guarantee to ' every State ia this Union a republi can form of government, and shall M protect each of them against invasion ; and on application of the legislature, "or of the executive, (when the legis lature cannot be convened;) - against " domestic violence." Tie labor Question. J The experience of the present sys tem of labor for the past year has been various and conflicting, and it is with difficulty that any correct judgment can be framed, upon which to base any calculations for the comiog year. Ex periment? of every conceivable descrip tion have been adopted by our farmers during the past twelve months, the re sult cf which has been, simply to leave the vexed and ail important question in as much doubt and uncertainty as ever, but it is only by the-means of such continued experiments and theknowlege obtained by them, can we hope to solve the vexatious, problem. One of the chief difficulties surround- ing the tju&stioD, arises from the thous aud and one notions entertained by the freedmen themselves, relative to the manner in which they wish to work, whether for part of the crop, by the week, month or year, all of which plans have their peculiar advantages and disadvantages. All must concede that the days of immense farms at tho South have pas sed away, and that success is most apt to attend those, who, taking a limited number of negroes, confine themselves to small and well manured farms. As a slave, the negro required the utmost watchfulness and care, and as a freedman the necessity for that same watchfulness and care is increased a hundred fold, and it is only by con stant and personal supervision that the smallest amount of work can be gotten out of them. This being the case, it would seem to be cleaily the best policy, to em ploy the smallest possible number r laborers for regular wanes, over whom O (-J should be exercised the strictest vigi lance, without which, but small re turns can be expocted. At the same time a kind and j ust treatment should be used as an inducement to keep the same laborers in employment year after year, which it is clearly the interest of every one to do. Find good hands, and attach them to the homestead by comfortable houses, kind treatment and fair dealiDg. The maa who steadily pursues this course, may always be sure to be able to command, whatever labor he wishes aud on reasonable terms. Home JIanufacturcs. We are glad to notice a growjng tendency on the part of many of our people to promote the establishment of home industry, and release ourselves in some measure from the utter depen dence, which has hitherto marked our rehtions with the Yankee nation. So long as we continue to placa complete reliance upon the North, for the pro duction of all the necessary means and appliances for our domestic system, so ondary position ; at the same time, re lieving our pockets for the benefit of a people, who, while reaping the proceeds, secretly laugh at our ignorance and fol ly. The Southern people are certainly the equal of the North in everything but perseverance and - go-ahead-ative-ness, and with a sufficient amount of these indespensable qualities introduced amongst us, we may hope in time to escape from the thraldom now imposed upon us. Iu this connection we record with pleasure the intention on the part of our enterprising townsmen, Messrs. D. Pender and N. M. Lawrance, to speedily establish near this place an extensive manufactory for making wag ons, carts, plows and every article needed for carrying on the business of a farm. They inform us, the entire machine ry has been ordered for some time, and they expect at an early day to com mence operations. It ig also their intention to connect with the same, a large Grist Mill, which information will no doubt piove most agreeable to many of our readers, who, of late, have been put to so much trouble to obtain a sufficient quantity of meal, flour &c. We hope this will not be tho only instance of the kind we shall have to notice amongst us. Thad. Stevens seemed to be in a per fect rage when he came out of the Re publican caucus, and told a member that he was disgusted "with the way the Radicals hav3 managed the im peachment question. He hopes for a better result when another caucus is called, at which all of the Radical members will be present. Pretty Sharp and fietlled. We copy the fol owing - paragraphs from the second edition of last Friday's Daily Constitutional Union, printed at Washington City. The Union is a strong supporter of the President, and is pre eumed to speak "from the b ok : THE BLOODV TREASON OF THE SEW YOKK IIERALT). The New York Ilerald ofthel7th inst., hns two articles on the subject of the im peachment of the President, which for malignity and falsification of history have no -parallel in j mrnalism. While red-, handed treason held the pen, bitter and unrelenting enmity to tho constitution and our form of Government fired the brain which was b -Id and wicked enough to say to the world that what it calls the "misdemeanors" of the President "render him liable to impeachment.'' The transparent design of these articles is to move the minds of tocak kneed Jaco hitiHemiblicans vv to their work. Let them tike thi3 advice, proceed in their wi iked desieros.and some morninc in other places and in a ncio condition tey will realize the bitter consequences. Indeed, as the Herald says, "the struggle is still coins: on." "The great Union movement of the war will run ita course," but not as tha Herald applies it. to utterly destroy the Government, but to savo it, and if necessary Us strong and iron hand will be invoked to stay the course and prevent the consummation of Radical Treason. 'I he Great Oath of the President to protect and defend the Constitution will not be f.ireotten. and the people who sustain him, icith their five hundred thousand ma- joritif of the voting: population, JNortn and Sou li, will not Krg t mm. i ne ner a Id cares not for coust quences. Nothing would please it eo much js to see ruin and anarchy rampant. Let those who woidd take its advice beware. UPOX WnOM CAN CON GUESS CALL ? Evonts have already brought the gov ernment to the very verge of another rev olution. If the Radical majority in Con gress pursues its treasonable course much longer, the Government, in order to sua tain itself will have to arm its svpporters. At the call of the President, all his friends North and South, and the Army and Na vy will respond. In such a contest the issue cannot bo doubtful. Congressmen may be valiant fighters r on the floor of Tongress, but when th-y come to lead their cohorts into the fie'd it will be an olher thing. The real armies and great soldiers of the Republic will be found fighting under the Flap, ! We advise the opposition of the determined and fixed fact that Andrew John'son tcill serve out his Coxstitu noNAL term of office. Arrest of a f ULzen cf !?rth Carolina. The Hendvrson, N. C, Index oi last week says : Our town was thrown into considerabla excitement last Saturday, by the arrest of j W. II. Hughes, upon a requi-ition from Governor Fenton, of New York. The Hon. W. A. Graham andGeo. Badger Harris, Esq , sued rut a writ cf Habeas C rpus, before Judge Gilliam All par ti s are now in R ileigh, and ilia case will appo ir before the Supreme Court, whiftS is at present in Session, for consideration The case came bef-re the Supreme C )urt at Ra'eizh, as we learn from the Sentinel of Friday, which gives the an nexed particular: Some months agf, a rrqni-iiion was made upon Gov. "Worth by Gov. FentoM. of New York, for the delivery of the body of V. II. Hughe?, of Granville counfy, on a charge of having purchased goods of sundry parties iu the city of New Vork upon false pretences, and absconded so that the due course of law, agreeable to the statutes of that State, could not be enforced. Tho oflher from that State presented to Goven or Worth all the pa pers, duly executed, necessary to sustain the r. qnisition of Gov. Fenton. Gov. Worth, afler due consideration, ordered the delivery of Mr Hughes, to the proper officer, and was taken to New York and legally committed to prison. After a short time, 'we unders'acd, Jlr. Hughes, by nice at court, at a giveVfr&r AkflSrry of New York. He came to his home at Henderson, and did not answer his bail. Recently, Gov. Ftnton made a second requisition upon Gov. Worth for his de livery. The cise was filly investigated, and Gov. Worth issued the order for his re delivery upon which Mr. Hughes sued out a writ of Jiabeas corpus. The case was brought before the Supreme C;urt, and that body rendered its decision on yesterday. The order of tho Court is this : The Court orders W. II. Hughes to be delivered, by the Marshall of the Court, to the Sberiff of Granville, to the end that he may be surrendered to James P. liinnett, Agent of the Stafe of New York, in obedience to the warrant of the Governor." The Southern Orphan Association. A large audience assembled on Mon dft)' night at the Broad Street Methodist Church to hear addresses from Generals Wise and Rosser in behalf of the South' ern Orphan Association, and the eloquence of both speakers amply repaid the audience for braving of the most ine'ement nights of their lives. General Ros?er, as the Agent of the As sociation explained its objects, paid a glowing tribute to the menu ryf our im mortal d ad, and made a touching appeal in behalf of their orphans. Genera! Wise followed in one of bis characteristic ad Ircsses, and as our space will not allow us to publish it, will leave true imagination of our readers to form an idea of one of the happiest efforts of the " old man elcqent." The Association has beeo organized by some charitable Baltimoreans. who pro prose to issue in the Southern State 500 000 tickets at $1 00 each and to distribute among the holders of these tickets 2,004 prizes, among which are the mr.nsion of ex-President Dvis, valued t $40,000; the birth place of General Robert E. Lee! with 1.000 acres of land attached, valued at $20,000, and a tract of 1,000 acres of land, valued at $10,000, and tract of 500 acres valued at 5,000. There are also 200 grand piano?, 500 gold watches for ladies atd as many for gentlemen; 500 sewing machines; 200 melodeons,- and 100 cotton-gins. The central office is located at 1216 Main street, Richmond, and the funds raised will be placed in the hands of the Southern States and other persons, for distribution among the needy orphans of Confederate soldiers. Ihe h;gh character of the gentlemen counected whh th undertaking give am pie tes imony that t will be conducted in an nouorable man i jr. The object is one which appeals to terj Southern heart, acd eaeh subscribe has a chance of being rewarded for his benevolence by a valui ble prize. The , question is who will, not take at Last one certificate. Jixhmond hxaminer. Congressional Summary. Washington, Jan. 18, P. M. Senate. A communication from Gov.

The Raleigh Sentinal has been se lected as one of the papers in the State for publishing the next annual lettings of the mail routes for the State. It i3 ascertained on good authority, that the New Orleans riot committee will submit two reports, a majoiityand minority, the latter denying that the j riots were brought about by any agen cy of the civil authority. We learn from Montreal that the British Government has commuted the sentances of the condemned Fenians to twenty years imprisonment in the Peni tentiary, But we have no idea the men will ever remain more than half that time in durance vile. When the Fenian flurry Has subsided, the Queen wiU pardon them. ' - Wendell Phillips said in a speech at Albany that if Southern representa tives were admitted to Congress, tbey would distribute confederate paper free ly to secure an assumption of the con feberate debt, that he knew one Mas sachusetts representative who could not resist such an argument for six hours. The friends of lien. Simon Cameron met at a hotel iu Harrisburg, Pa , yes terday, to congratulate him upon his election to the United States Senate. Mr. Cameron, in response, thanked them for their kind and Cordial greet- ing, and alluded to the present strug gle as thlast one of his political life. He stated that he hopes to live to see the word ichite striken Lorn the Pennsyl vania Constitution, and the spirit of caste based upon color utterly destroyed. The Hon. Kemp P. Battle, Treasur er of North Carolina, in his report es timates that the value of watches and jewelry has decreased from $929,325 to $549,636, or about one third. This, considering the activity of the virtuous. Kilpatrick, is a surprisingly small loss: and our North Carolina friends may congratulate themselves that the hero of Bethel and the powder boat never had a chance to confiscate their watches for disloyalty or their spoons for treason. In that event, this part of the Treasurer's report would have been an absolute blank. Bay Boole. A G UE.SS AT THE FUTORE OF COTTON Capt B. J.
