There was an uncertain trvlinc in tin country previous to the assemltlin; ot congress, a mounting almost to appre hension. The elation of wild minded re publican politicians, some of them lead ers, emboldened the conception of soim very extreme measures not far from rev olutionary ill their action and effects, such as the peremptory standing asidt during the process of the organization o the house of representatives of such dem ocratic members whose seats were con tested; thus securing, if such purpose ha' been submitted to, absolute and irresisii bh control of that body. Another meas ure, consequent upon such control, wa the introduction of bills regulating elec tions, giving to congress dangerous am unconstitutional power of interl'erenn with the internal affairs of the South, provocative of dissatisfaction, resistauci and violence. The threatened danger was more omi nous in distance than it proves as vet to be in re.ditv, as often a threat ening summer storm exhausts it fury helore it precipitates ttsell upoi a menaced spot. We cannot recal n meeting of congress where at th opening there was more of genial temper of good natural concession, the absenc of the insolence ol the majority, and th like absence of sullen discontent in the mi norily. Hoth displayed manly conce tion of conditions. Even the usually tri. culent overbearing Mr. Need, the ncv speaker, yielded himself gracefully to tl.i soft nrevatling influence, arid made snel a speech as might disarm animosity am give promise of a career in hisresponsibl' position as administrator of the allaii ol an American, not a sectional, congress Not the least striking teature of t hi ameliorated sentiment wasthe rc-elcctioi ol the blind chaplain Milburu.a generon testimony to intellectual and mora worth, and not a less generous evidene that tender sympathy for physical intii mity has secure lodgment even in th flinty hearts of partisan congressmen. We hopefully accept this plcasan change in the temper of the republica; majority without desire to analyze it causes. We might suggest many rea sons for it, and doing so, question itssin eerily. It might be ascribed to a tcni pori.ing policy shaped in eontoruiiti with recent pregnant lessonsdrawn Iron recent elections. That may be so; bu then we will not ill natuiedlv suggest that the check in the course ol victim gives the opportunity for thought am the devising of some other steps t achieve a definite and determined pur pose. We preler to hope that the chccl will bring reflection, and a clearer, mini statesmanlike, more generous couceplioi of the relations of all parts of the conn try to each other, and the necessity of ; wiser, more liberal and more eharitabli treatment of them. When the work of the congress is fill I v entered upon, then of course we expect ti tind the usual personal acrimony, for in dividual temper does not always subini. itself to the domination ofa prudeutget.- eral policy. Hut we believe, inferrinj. from the auspicious beginning, that then will be modification in sectional aspcri ties, and that in the discussion of sec tional questions there will be ears mori ready to hear and judgments more read. to be convinced than when in the heatei fury of a campaign, prejudice, falsehood and passion overthrew reason and re pelled truth. The general questions before congress are great and grave ones. We hope the will be treated greatly and gravely as be come the representatives of now tin model nation uponearth. Ourexampleti be valuable, must be great and grave. Ii has so impressed itself upon othcrnatiom that an imperial power on this side tin waters has just thrown away the crown to assume the simple republican chaplet; on the other side, it is not improbable there will be the contagion of example But that depends upon the wisdom, tht self-control, the just, generous and har monious tenqier of the American con gress. WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. The Wilmington Star hns the following ing to say of the work of the Ashevilh press ill behalf of this section: The Asiievii.i.e Citizen is dome a good work lor the mountain country b the clever descriptive articles and others exhibiting the attractions, resources, progress and possibilities of the western portion ot the slate. 1 lie people ot tin country doubtless appreciate the clevei and valuable work thus done, for thev are the gainers by it. That the work is valuable cannot lie doubted, forsuhVient evidence is furnished by the new enter prises which are carried but, and the rapid growth of the mountain city. It: this Rood work The Citizen has the hearty co-operation of the Journal and Democrat. It has been the pleasant recreation hardly work of The Citizen, and we may justly assume, of the other Ashevillc papers, to share with others the enjoy ments of this beautiful country, and bring them up to the measure of our anticipations. This we can scarcely hope to do by the work of the pen, for it may seem a draft on credulity, or a series of pictures painted to delight the imagina tion. To a great portion of the State, Western North Carolina is to a great ex tent" unknown, except as a region of mountains, and as mountain country, while assumed to abound in 6ne scenery, yet rough, cold, barren and devoid of profitable resources. It has lieen the work of The Citizen as far as possible to disabuse error, to portray Western North Carolina as a country of grand and beautiful lnndscajie: and also as a country delightful in climate winter anil summer, temperate as well as healthlul. with soil as rich as any where on the continent as illustrated by the mnjesu of its forest growth and floral wealth, as prolific in remarkable degree of all the crops that engage the industry of agri culture elsewhere, as abounding in fruits if the leuiperateziinein unequalled perfec tion, as so rich in pasturage, natural and artificial as to stimulate the most tir. iioundcd confidence in its fitness for stock qui dairy purposes, and as abounding n mineral wealth that alone would re ward the most sanguine aims of euter jirise. The air above the earth, tin A-aters that flow on the surface of the earth, the treasures that lie hid beneath t, the rich vegetation that cunilicrs .he ground, whether planted there by he hand of the Creator or nurtured by he skill and labor of man, all invite to xplora tion, occupancy and development, fhe lime has Ik'ch too short since this lection has been fairly opened to knowl dge to permit of a lull nppriciution ol ts present strength or its future promise, t is almost in the nature ofa new gilt 0 the State, its value little valued ot ompiehciulcd. It is in the relation of a et unveiled statue with the thick dra icryofthe forest concealing the frame cork of hill and mountain. When time 1 tit I occupancy shall have revealed tht ;rantleur and richness of the new acqtii ition then may North Carolina proudh md justlv say, "the last shall be first;" urthis splendid region gives already its iromise of surpassing excellence. We are heart and hand with the old ashioncd Charlotte Democrat in oppos ug the opening of the I'niversily or any ther male institution to both sexes; ve are willing to be behind the times, ii o oppose such idea is to be behind the :imes. In the South, tit all events, the lims and ends of the education of tht exes are different. We hope the day is iislant when the breed of Mary Walk is, lielva Lockwoods and other unsexed lipeds shall be privileged to ramp over .he land to the shame of woman and .he merriment of man. We claim Cot voman the very highest endowments ol irain, with power to shine in science, as .Irs. Sunimerville or Maria Mitchell, in irt like Harriet Hosiner, Yiunie Keam ir Kosa Bonheiir, or in literature with anks so lull that we dare not venture o enumerate tlictn. Therefore we might iemaud for woman the amplest facilities or the most liiier.il and coiiipreheusive ducation. Hut lit her have her own jolleges. There are plenty of them, ami ;ood ones. If' they are not so good as hey might to be, make them better. We agree with the Democrat ill saying: There is plenty ol room for separate in--tittitious, and plenty of room for tin liolesouie temptation in combined in- litiitions. We liclictc ("toil Almighty in ended to mix men and w omen by niar lageonlv, not by means of institutions. We find a curious illustration of negro haraeter in the dissatisfaction of the Iaytians with the appointment of I-'red longlass as minister to their republic. fo (latter them, and also make some heap capital at home, our government ins on this and other occasions sent hem a ministerof their own color. Their .ride, so far from being gratified, is .vouuded, because they feel entitled to the best of everything; and they know hat a colored representative is only a econd rate article and would not be ae redited to anv other power. And the .iresence of such minister is holding up he mirror to nature with somewhat un ileasant reflection; just as the toy stores, villi an abundant suppfv of negro doll labies, are never the sellers of a single me of them to colored buyers; so they ulorm us.

We shall have a big line for you to select from, and shall be able to fit goods to any poekot book from a nickel to as high as you want to go.
