A Trip into North Carolina.
On the afternoon of Tuesday the 30lh
wit, in company with two friend*, we left
Lancaster for an excursion to Wadesboro'
North Carolina. Our business pertained
to the meeting of the Conference for the
Wadesboro* District of the Son lit Carolina
Conference, M K. Church, South, appointed
to begin in the town of Wadesboro*
on 1st. August; but in this article
we propo?? to speak of matters
and things not directly connected with
the affairs of the Conference, that heincr
? o
reserved for a separate report.
Our route lav in a NortlrEisterly
direction from Lancaster, passing; bv Oiil's
Creek Cburcli, the Buford battle ground,
and crossing Lvncbes Creek at Robinson's
Ford. Tlie country along this road, to
within a few miles of Lynches Creek, is
poor and unproductive. The crops, in
which we felt a particular interest, were
suffering for the want of rain ; but many
fields which met our eve, we regret tossy,
were suffering vastly more for the want of
proper culture and attention?a want
which in no Ren?e can ha charged to
Providence, but a'tributable to the sloth
ftnd indolence of t?ie husbandman. Many
of the excuses for a had crop, such as
drought, floods, cold weather, dv, gener
ally laid to the door of Provi lence, are
fallacious, and in nine cases out of ten
whore a failure occurs, the true reason
mnv ho found in the Imperfect cultivation
of the soil and the sad neglect of the crops.
System and energy, a propel combination
of brain and muscle, are needed far more
than rain and sunshine. The finest Reasons
in the world will not avail unless
ihe grass and weeds are kept down., If
onr people desire to live and prosper,
they niuat cease to look to other sources
of supply than their own labor, and go
energetically to work. The ground will
yield its fruits now as readily as *v?-r, if

R w#1l tilled field, fri-e from grass ami
weed*, wliich did i:ot promise rieli returns
to the husbandman.
As we approached the North Eastern
extremity of our District, known as the
'Wild Cat" region, we began to receive
information of a secret organization, about
winch we had heard hut little before ?
We wero told that a society, known as
the "Red Strings," hart! taken foot.hold in
that section; that it was a verv popular
institution, promising, art it does, great
f+ood to all who will become connected
with it, nhd that hs benefits aro not con
fined to any particular class, color or pre
vious condition. We observed, however,
that a lately developed feature of the in
Btitution gave some annoyance to its vo
taries in that section ; they complained
that whefeus, Up to the 'present time, it
was a free institution, its secrets and hlessi
ing?' being dispensed without tnonpv and
without price, now it was proposed that
?ch now convert should pay one dollar
its an initiation fee. This was an innova
tion, the reason whereof our informer
could not divine, he, possibly, not know
ing that greenbacks is an ariiele for which
our Yankee brethren bavo ah espedial
Attachment.
ilearingso much about the Red Strings,
wo naturally wished to know something
about their purposes and objects. With
this view, upoo meeting on the high.way,
ill Chesterfield L> strict, a young man
whose hat band was of a scarlet color, Wm
introduced the subject, and lie then and
there gave us the information that the
Red Strings and the "League Society"
were one and the name ; whereupon we/
remembered that there wan an institution
at Lancaster known by the latter name,
. whose Committee man, our readers are
aware, some time a-iO, scandalized the
fiaternity by an indiscretion, which wan
characterized hy the Court f.s "the felonii
cua takiog and carrying away of the per.
sonal goods of another." We had sup"
posed dntil then that the League Society
was exclusively of the colored people.
Our fiist night from home was spent
with a gentleman on the Lancaster ride
of Lynches Creek, whose warm hospitals
ties we have reason to remember. The
crdpa near the Creek, and for several miles
beyoud, are verv good and seem to have
been well cultivated. The lands for ten
Or twelve miles beyond the creek are of a
sand hill nature and generally poor.?
After getting into Anson Conntr, there is
a manifest improvement in the quality of
the lands, though not in the crops, which,
on the majority of farrae, wero sadly neg
footed. As we approached Wadeeboro'
the Red String element seemC I to increase
And with it the signs of neglected crops.
That this Society exerts a strangely dele
t#rfo?a influence upon the crops, was the
unauitnous conclusion of our p*rty, winch h
conclu'iou whs b>?sed upon sotunl enquiry T
nnd observation. Grnsav farms were sure h
indications that, either the owners 01 the g
freedmen eniploved, or both, were of "he a
Red Siring perSnmion, and vice versa? it

About fourteen miles this a:de of Wades p
boro' is a little Village,known by I tie name
of While'* Store. It contains several C
dwellings, two or three Stores aod a work a
shop. In that neighborhood, aod from a
thence to Wadeslioro*, tbe inAnv hand a

For refinement and intelligence thev

them that is trttlv refreshing in these daxs ''
of Yankeeized manners, institutions and s
feelings. Their social ami hospitable p
qualities will not soon he forgotten hv the H

l ne oav atier our arrival at Warjt-slioro'
(Thursday) had ho tin appointed hv the
Red Stiinys for a yrand mass meeting at

opposite the Court House, ami under it
this immense throng of Macks marched P
and countermarched,yelling and rteermjr
until (he welkin rsnj pith their ntelodt

Thev were then conduced to a yrove, a
few hundred vards distant, to hear a
speech from General Ai.kkkd PoCKKRY '
Wishing to learn more of this app.ren.tlv *
formidable association, we repaired loth* (
stand hh aoon as the crowd had subsided ?<
sufficiently to amhMm us to approach it ; I
ar.d, to our yood fortune, as we came up.
the General was di'aiiny upon the very
point upon which we desired information
He said that it was perfectly immaterial '
as to the Color of the s'tinys, whether red, '

virtue in color, hut the gis of the thine Ct
