A CAMPAIGN PAPER.
Let every Conservative Club
SEND IN
SUBSCEIBEKS.
Besides being a good local and agri-cultural
paper, THE PATRIOT AND
TIMES advocates the election of
Seymour and Blair
as the only hope of averting
ANOTHER WAR
IW In clubs of ten the paper will be
sent oneyear for 81.50 each ; Six months
80cte each ; three months Wets each.
Every Democratic club in this dis-trict
can send as at leastfen subscribers,
and we trust they will do so,
AND AT ONCE!
"When the storn s over, the Conserva-live
party, representing, as it does, THE
PROPERTY AND INTELLIGENCE
OF THE STATE, will take the guidsuiee
ofaftairs.AND ALL WILL BE WELL."

WANTS HIS PICTURE. The Milton
Chronicle thus very irreverently alludes
to one of Guilford's noted scalawags:
There was a time when we had friends
—and troops of them—in Old Gnillbrd.—
We desire to know if we have not a friend
in that once glorious old county today ? If
we have, we beg that friend to send us the
photographic likeness of Rev. Mr. Welker
(pronounced Wlmlper,)—we'll pay more
lor it than we'd give to see a monkey show.
It should grace the walls of every peniten-tiary
in the U States. This precious nut
for the devil to crack, who seems to thirst
for war and blood—is the Holdcn pimp
who introduced the "army bill," that cun-ningly
devised war measure which marshals
six-thousand men as a "guard," and who,
of all others, nee,d 'guarding' the most—
that \ illainous measure which marshals and
arms "trooly loil' theives not only to make
war on hen roosts, hog pens and horse sta-bles,
but to shoot honest people down w ho
may dare to protect their rights.
NEW MODE OF TELEGRAPHING.—
The Bolivar, Tennessee, Bulletin says:
For mouths past we have louged to
lay before the public the fact that a
most wonderful discovery had been
made in the art of telegraphing by two
of our fellow-citizens, Geo. M. Dugan,
Booker Ford, and Colonel Coleuiau of
Memphis; and shall now proceed to
record what we have seen iu operation
at the telegraph office iu this place tor
weeks past. The discovery made does
away with all the jars and fluids here-tofore
used iu telegraph offices, and a
current ofelectricity sufficiently strong
for all purposes is drawn from mother
earth by means of one sheet of copper
and one sheet of zinc, which are buried
to the depth of two feet, and having
about four inches of earth between
them. To the copper plate, wires are
attached, and the current thus procur-ed
seems inexhaustible. Theoperators
at the telegraph office here long since
dispensed with fluids of all kiuds, and
every message sent from Bolivar now
is recorded by an instrument which
receives its power from the buried
battery, and which consists of nothing
but one sheet of copper and one of
zinc.
GOOD OLD BRANDY.
Why is it that our common farmers
cau't distill a little brandy for their
own use ? Because the Radical Con-gress
has placed the SMALL TAX OF
FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS upon
all distilleries forcing the poor men to
quit the business, in order that the
rich may grow fat! Howmuch longer
will you vote for such gross outrages
upon your rights ?
:i
METHODIST CHURCH MATTERS.—
Orders have been issued from military
headquarters in Richmond directing
that Methodist churches in Virginia;
hereafter and until the legal right to
ownership of which shall have been
definitely determined, shall be occupied
on alternate Sundays by the congrega-tions
ofthe Methodist Episcopal Church
South and the Methodist Episcopal
Church.—Forney.
So we go. Let them steal the
churches if they choose; but, it will
be a hard matter to force the better
class of Methodist in that old Dominion,
to listen to preachers whose charity
prompts them to attempt to force their
" great moral ideas" upon an unwill-ing
people.
DIRECT TRADE.—A correspondent
ot the Memphis Ledger, in an article
making some suggestions to the Cham-ber
of Commerce of that city, says:—
" The establishment of a line of steam-ships
to Liverpool, in connection with
the Memphis and Norfolk railroad, is
the most important project started
since the war closed. Indeed, it is an
enterprise that should enlist not only
the support of every Tennesseean, but
the good will and assistance of every
true Southerner; for it opens the ouly
way tlirough which the commerce of
the South can be relieved from the
shackles of Northern speculators, and
gives to planters the best means of
finding a market for their produce."
. ^m*-
A New Yorker has wine of 1695 in
his cellar. Rather doubtful.
GovSwu.v, whose death was announced
last week was born in Buncombe county
in the year 1801. He received his first
education at Newton Academy, in the town
of Asheville, and subsequently studied at
Chapel Hill. He afterwords read law in
Raleigh with Judge Taylor, who predicted,
from his habits of perseverance and close
application, the eminence which he subse-quently
attained. He was admitted to the
bar in Buncombe county in 1823. In 1824,
'5 and '6, he represented the county in the
Legislature. In 1827 he was elected
Solicitor in the Edenton District, which
he resigned after riding one circuit.—
In 1S28 and '29 he was again elected to the
Legislature, and in 1830 he was elected a
member of the board of Internal Improve-ments.
In the same year he was elected
Judge of the Superior Courts. In 1832 he
was elected Governor of the State, and in
1830, while still Governor, he was elected
a member of the Convention to revise the
Constitution, and in December of the same
year he was elected President of the Uni-versity,
which position he held until the
adoption of the new Constitution and the
re-organization of that Institution.
In 182G, he married Eleanor daughter of
William White and grand daughter of
Gov.Caswell.
THE HOLT PROPERTY.—The vast
amount of property in England, be
longing to heirs living in Snrry county,
and in other parts of Virginia, is, we
are informed by the attorney who rep-resents
the interests of the parties con-cerned,
in a fair way to be recovered.
The evidence of identity is becoming
dady stronger, and we trust that the
proper representatives, supposed to
reside in Surry, may at no remote day
come into full possession of this prince-ly
estate.—Norfolk Journal
The numerous family of Holts in
this section, is also, loo.ving forward
to this estate with great expectation.
FEES.
Wo give below the bill iu regard to
fees, &c.,in full, in order that our read-ers
may see how legal expenses are in
creased instead of reduced, as is claim-ed
by the Radicals. We consider the
figures too plain to require any com-ment—
the bill speaks for itself:

FEES OF CLERKS OF THE
COURT.
SUPERIOR
HEIR TO THE GREEK THRONE.—An heir
to the Greek throne, child of Queen Olga,
was born at Athens, August 2nd, last, and
on the same day received the name of Con-stantine
Henry Demosthenes amidst great
rejoicings. The joy of the people at the
birth of the Prince is represented to be un-bounded,
men an event not having before
occurred within four centuries. The Queen
of Olga is the daughter of the Grand Duch-ess
Alexandria of Russia, who, with her two
two sons, Grand Dukes Alexis and Nicho-las,
were present at the christening.
No Vote—no Tax.—The Bristol News
is informed that the disfranchised citi-zens
of Sullivan county, Teun., are
refusing to pay the poll-tax, and where
it has been collected, proceedings are
to be taken to test its legality. Coun-sel
has been employed and suits for
damages will be instituted where the
tax has been collected. This will test
the constitutionality of the law.
A letter from Thomas Harland. Acting

all lumber in the rough as it comes from
the saw, such as sawed lumber, boards, shin-gles,

to the tax imposed on sales by the act of
March 31,1868."

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE
ABOUT TAXES.
The following statements with refer-ence
to our financial condition are de-rivedfrom
oflicial sources. They may
be relied upon, and every taxpayer
should carry them in his pocket:
First. The amount of money col-lected
from the people by Federal tax-ation,
from July, l.Stio, 1.S08—three
years of peace—reached $1,5!)4,174,-
000.
Second. Tho taxes paid by the peo-ple
into the Federal Treasury for the
year ending July, 18(18. were over live
hundred and sixty million; for 1307,
over five hundred million, and tor
1808, over four hundred and seventy
million.
Third. These taxes are in addition
to all indirect taxation, such as taxa-tion
on the necessaries of life, for tin*
protection of manufacturers, for fees to
officeholders not paid out ofthe Treasu-ry,
&c, and to all local taxation. They
are also .in addition to the immense
revenue derived from the sale of pro-perty
accumulated during the war.
Fourth. The direct tax paid into
the custom houses on imputed goods
the past three years amounted to more
than seven hundred and twenty five
million dollars, all paid by the people
who used the imported articles.
Fifth. Tho expenditures of the Gov.
eminent during these three years, in-cluding
deficiencies, equal to the whole
sum of taxes collected.
Sixth. The Federal taxation of the
past three years has averaged over t.14
to each man, woman, and child of tho
whole population, while the average
taxation in France for the same time
is but $'22 to each individual, and iu
Austria less than $10, and in the last
two centuries the local taxes are com-paratively
small.
Seventh. The national debt averages
nearly a half more to each individual
of the population tliau in France, and
is more than twelve times larger iu
proportion to population than that of
Prussia.
Eighth. The nearly sixteen hundred
million iu taxes collected from the
people of this country during the past
three yean have been mainly collected
from the pockets of merchants, me-chanics,
farmers and laborers.
Ninth. To jmy the princijial of tho
public debt according to the Radical
programme would require more coin
than now exists iu the known world,
and the interest would have to be pro-vided
for in addition.
Tenth. In the last three years that
portion of the national debt which re.
quires the payment of interest iu gold
by Radical conn ivauce has been increas-ed
more than six hundred million—
wholly at the exi»ense of the i>oople,
and for the liond holders.
Eleventh. The expenditures of tho
Government for 1*07-08 amounted to
$148,000,000 more than when the Dem-ocratic
party was in power during I8W.
During the decade from 18T»0-01 the
average expenditures of the Gorena.
ment amounted to only fifty two mil-lion
dollars.
Twelfth. We are told In th report of
the Commissioner or Revenue, (see
Hfcge 27.) sent to the United States
Senate January 3d, 1867, that assum-ing
the value of tho real and [>ersonal
property of the United States to liavo
increased since i860— the date of the
last census—sufficiently to com]KMisat<i
tor all the losses and deprcciatioi a
