Every prudent and careful man will act with

GREENSBORO, N. O.
FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1866.
IMPORTANT RUMOR.—It is reported in
Washington that President Johnson has
summoned the Senators elect from the
Soutliers States. Jf this be true it is an-other
bold step in his reconstruction poli-cy,
despite radical opposition.
DISSOLUTION.—We learn that the firm
of Battle, Heck & Co., of Raleigh, has
been dissolved by mutual consent, and
we suppose it is to be succeeded by the
" Real Estate Bank of North Carolina,"
which institution will, doubtless, be more
successful in transferring the lands of
dejected Southerners to "Northern capi-talists."
Will DONE VIRGINIA.—The Legislature of
Virginia has passed tin- bill funding the inter-est
due by the State on her bonds. Her intcr-pst
now due is nearly $8,000,000, and with one
third of her territory set off to another State,
she marches up to her duly promptly. The
interest now due by North Carolina is $3,500,*
000, and yet her Legislature hesitates It is
afraid of compounding.
According to this staten ent, the princi-pal
and interest of Virginia's debt is over
850,000,000. The plan above adopted,
which i;< so highly applauded by The
Sentbul. is, perhuiis. tin- oulv one whiola
that State could adopt, and which is vir-tually
practical repudiation. It is a pre-cedent
which can be easily adopted ; and
should Xorth Carolina follow the exam-ple,
we would recommend to preserve the
plains from which the bonds are issued, as
they will be annually brought into requisi-tion
for the same purpose.
Hox. WM. II. SKWARD.—Whatever
may have been the faults of this gentle-man
heretofore, he is now certainly show-ing
himself to be a statesman and a nation-al
man. As a member ol tire Cabinet he
cordially suppo'ts the President's restora-tion
policy, and at a public meeting in
New York on the 22d February, he made a
speech in which ho condemned the schemes
of the radical disnnionists in Congress who
are keeping out the Representatives of tiie
Southern States. Mr. Seward deserves
the thanks of all who are for promoting
peace and harmony.
THE PRESIDENT.—The. President is deep,
ly in earnest in his policy of restoration.—
He omits no opportunity for enforcing it
upon the country, and declares his purpose
to adhere to it persistently. Wednesday!
last he was vi-ited by a committee of gen-tlemen
from Philadelphia, who called to
present to him the resolutions of a public
meeting in that city. Mr. Marshall, in be-halfofthe
committee, said the meeting
which passed the resolutions was without
distinction of party, and, in the course of
his speech, remarked :
•• We will stand oy yoir, then, rather as eon-
Bervativ ■ citiz 'ii:- than K> partizaoa. We stuud
by you u Eennsylvanians, as T'ennsylvanians
always stood by Andrew Jackson, never losing
faith in his honesty of purpose to do what was
right, and his power to do it, aamndi neverr to sub-his
abili'.y
" If we could enlarge the area In which our
currency is to circulate—increase the number of
bands in which it is to pass—we should corres-pondingly
give it a sounder basis without taking
out one dollar from the circulation. Bv restor-ing
th-> Government and the industrial products
ot the South, we thereby Widen the area of cir-culation,
and along with it bring ;nto the mar-kets
of the country millions of tobacco and cot-ton.
"This is a very important item, and would
strengthen the country and increase the demand
for all manufacturing" production?. It seems to
me that the most powerful stimulus that could
be given to these interests would be to restore
our Government. It would increase the demand
for manufactured articles of all kinds. By re-storing
the country you increase its abilitv to
pay taxes. You could leave the present rate o''
tariff as it is, if you could take away this inter-nal
revenue tax. By getting rid of this internal
revenue tux, you would correspondingly increase
your protection to manufacturing and agricul-tural
interests. 1 thjuk that as fast us we can
we should get away lrom these internal taxes
that now rest so heavily upon the industrial
products of the country. Anything lean do I
will do that will tend to strengthen the resour-ces
of our country. I sympathize with you, and
I trust and hope your efforts will succeed and
extend as our country is restored and peace re-turns."
To these remarks Captain Ward re-sponded
:
" We believe, Mr. President, that the con-stant
drain upon us and our resources is the vast
importations that come from England. We be-lieve
that drain will produce very disastrous
results unless the present tariff" is increased. So
far as the currency is concerned, if it is greatly
reduced we believe it will result in disaster and
bankruptcy.
'• Mr. Johnson—As I have remarked, if we
restore the Government, and thus increase the
demand for articles, our currency will be placed
upon a firmer basis. 1 think this does away with
all argument for a diminution of the amount of
circulation.
" Rut there is one thing of paramount consid-eration.
Let us have a Government. Let us
have a united people ; then we have got a Gov-ernment.
" Mr. E. B. Ward—Mr. President, we are
all laboring under the belief that we have a
Government.
Mr. Johnson—Then let us have a whole Gov-ernment.
Then we hare got a wider area for
everything to be carried on in."
On the same day a committee, appoin-ted
at the mass meeting in Baltimore, pre-sented
themselves at the White House,
when Judge Crane, after speaking of the
policy of the President as one that should
be adopted by the country, presented the
resolutions of the meeting.
" The President said, in reply, thai he could
make no speech further than to say that his pol-icy
was before the country. It was not the re-sult
of impulse, but the result of a conviction.
That it was the principle upon which the gov-ernment
was founded* It was before the coun-
'^^WO^^omipee W 1.,, gg(4*g g«£
ministered on that policy, and he did not say it
menacingly. It was believed that the safety of
this government rested upon the.-e principles.—
He was not insensible to the compliment paid
by this visit. That man's heart and mind must
indeed be barren not to be deeply impressed bv
such assurances of the people's support.
"This compliment was peculiarly gratifying
to him. He believed the country would be re-stored
to its former condition of prosperity and
harmony. He entered the contest expressing tin
same views lie did UOW, and he Btoff now as be
did then, by the Urion and the Constitution.
not having swerved ihair's breadth. The taunts
which had been uttered against him had no ef-fect
upon him.' His inly work was the restora-tion
of the country—tin-thorough reconciliation
and harmony of theaiat'on. W'c are he added,
steadily acoompluhfg the work. We have set n
families who were djcided amongst thems< Ives,
anu had considerabl] dissension amongst them ;
but we see them alllfterwards harmonized, and
live in peace and friendship.
•• It will be so wih us. If we can do this it
would be something of which to be proud. It
will come right in tie end, notwithstanding. In
tl.o matter, extreupts of both sections, while
pursuing different beam*, labored steadily for
the aecomplishruont>f the same end—the de-struction
of the Un|n. go far us the dissolution
of the Union is conerned, one is as bad as the
other.
" When the rebeljon is put down and we find
a party for consolidjion and concentration, it is
the same spirit as-ebellion, and leads to the
same end—the desluction of the Government.
I desire nothing butto effect the reconciliation
thoroughly. Whcnl can do this. 1 can exclaim,
with full heart. " Jiave reached the summit of
my ambition." I live no other ambition. My
only object is to reslre the Union to its full and
reconciled normal'ondition. Then my work
will be done. I thai; you. gentlemen, "for tills
mark of your countiar.c • and support."
AGRICULTURAL BUHEAU.—A friend has
handed us a copy of the Annual Report of
the Hon. Isaac Newton, Commissioner of
Agriculture, Washington City, submitted
to the President and through him to Con-gress
at the opening ofthe present session
of that body. The Report contains a
large amount of statistical information
and valuable suggestions on agricultural
subjects. We copy the following paragraph
from the Report, as especially interesting
to the Southern reader:
"The energies of the people are now
requited to build up the waste places.—
The results of the war having changed the
system of labor in some of the States,
wise counsels and wholesome legislation,
with just and charitable discretion, will be
demanded in directing and dealing with
the freedmen. I have no fear of the re-sults,
if employed will mutually adapt
themselves to the existing stateol things;
and I believe that a higher state ot pros-perity
than was ever before enjoyed by the
people of the Sou in will be ultimately at-tained.
It may be that the system of
free labor will not prove favorable to large
landed estates; and I am willing to con-fess
my full belief that such a result will
be beneficial to the great masses and to
the country. The average size of farms
in the United States, in 1860, was 199
acres; almost double the average for
Great Britain, which, in 1851, was 102
acres only, notwithstanding the great size
of many baronial and aristocratic "hold-ings"—
there being no less than 170,814
farms hi the kingdom, or considerably
more than one-half of the entire number,
having less than 50 acres each. But the
average in the southern States is for great-er
than the general average for the United
States, as the following table will show :

they will have their wants sup
plied until the seeds on hand are exhaus-ted.
__
THE TERMS UPON wm THE PRESI-DENT
WILL MAKE PEACE WITH THE RAD-II
u.s.— The New York Times makes tho
following proposition to the Radicals,
which we take to be President Johnson's
ultimatum :
" The exclusion of loyal men from Con-gress,
in violation alike of their rights and
of the Constitution, is the main, if not the
sole cause of the presort difference of sen-timent
between them. If the Union ma-jority
in Congress had been in its action
true io the principles of the Union party,
and had not allowed itself to be swerved
from those principles by the adroit and
reckless machinations of men who have
with them no sympathy whatever, this
conflict would never have arisen. When-ever
that same majority can throw off the
influences by which it has been thus mis-led,
and come back to its original and true
position, that conflict will end, and all the
dangers which now seem to be impending
over the Union paity and the country will
be forever in the deep bosom of the ocean
buried."
GESKRAI. GRANT.—The presents made
to General Grant in monev, houses. &v.. m
amount to nearly two handled thousand
dollars. It is not altogether after the
Washingtonian model to be the recipient
of such valuable gifts, but it is not for us
to make comments. Washington lived in
another and different age, and, we may be
excused for adding, was bore and reared
in another State. The followin0g note

The President responded in substance
as follows:
•( I shall not attempt, gentlemen, to make a-forma!

confidence has not been misplaced, and I can
Xut point yon t" my past course and to my pub-lic

Thursday, a delegation from the Iron
and Steel Association, who had been in
session in Washington, waited upon the
President, and addressed him with refer-ence
to the interests of that Association,
and of American labor generally. In reply,
he said :

fourths—of unimproved land in farms, in
addition to the unimproved public lands.
illustrates pointedly the necessity that
vastly more labor be applied to their culti-vation.
The most populous States in the
Union bays the smallest farms, command-ing
the highest price per acre; and the
value per acre is, as a generalmet, inverse-ly
proportionate to the size of the farms.
Thus the farms of Masachnsetta average
94 acres; of Rhode Island, 96 ; of Con-necticut,
!•!>; of Xew York, 106; of Penn-sylvania,
109; and of Ohio, 114 acres.
Every head of a family should have a
homestead if possible. Thus an incentive
to industry is created, and a spirit ot en-terprise
encouraged, that will soon double
the products of the country, increase the
wealth of the States, and and to the re-sources
of the nation.
In this new order of things I feel the
importance of the position Which this de-partment
should assume toward the people
of the States now reasnming theif former
relations with the rest of the country.—
With the question of reconstruct ion, or.
more properly, reorganization, I have no
concern; believing the subject to be in
competent hands, and that its final and
satisfactory settlement will be accomplish-ed
in due time, i shall, therefore, cheer-fully
put forth my'exertions, to the best
ofmy ability, in aid ofmeasures ol"reconcil-iation
and for the advancement of the in-terests
ofagriculture throughout the whole
country, believing that branch of industry
to be the foundation of the prosperity of
all nations, and the fostering of its inter-est:-
by the government to be essential to
such prosperity. History furnishes abun-dant
illustrations of this truth.
The southern States will need much aid
and encouragement in the coming season.
Their favorable climate and prolific fields
should invite capital and stimulate labor. In
no other section can cropsbe cultivated with
less labor, nor are. there any crops more
remunerative than such as are peculiarly
adapted to that section of the country.--
Their cotton is the best that has "yet
been produced in any country, and their
BUgarcrop is one ot great importance—
Louisiana alone having produced in lS5»
221,926 hogsheads ofsngarand 13,439.772
gallons of molasses. * * • •
In the distribirion of seeds, 234,945

and 408-59:1 to regular and occasional cor-respondents,
and in answer to personal
applications—making a total distribution

of the date of manufacture. In view of
this order, the Commissioner of Intenin!

:

THE ADMISSION- OF TEX>;Es>:KE.
The question of the adinissiofi of the
members from Tennessee, it s j xpected,
will come up for debato in the louse tm

having tho matter in uhslnu, will
precede the debate, when defiuie action
will be taken. Bo convinced, Jiowever,
are those who have oppotnnit cs ,or know-ing,
that a favorable report will bo made,
that it seems to be fully agree-] upon that
Monday will witness the i .peuing ofthe con-test
for the admission of the members in
question. The report in favor will bo
made by the Joint Committee of Fifteen.
The Washington correspondent of The
Baltimore Sun makes a statement similar
to this, and adds :
This would show that the I louse cares
nothing for the movemet ts and decre
the Reconstruction Commitcee. The
House, by an overwhelming n ajority, has
bound itself not to admit any member
from any one of the lately rebel ions States,
without n declaration, o*n the part of both
Houses, that mob. State is enti.led to rep-resentation.
